A week ago, an uneventful thing happened. And that's the news. The uneventful thing was the settling of a contract June 24 between Temple University Hospital and the Pennsylvania Association of Staff Nurses and Allied Professionals.
Remember last time?
I do. It was the wildest strike I've ever covered.Temple's 1,500 nurses and allied professionals went out on "strike" for 28 days in April 2010. Every day was a new wrinkle and each one was more amazing than the one before it.
First of all, Temple paid millions of dollars to house replacement staffers at the Sheraton Philadelphia Downtown Hotel at 17th and Vine Streets. The replacement crew worked 12 hours shifts, six days a week, piling on overtime, all on Temple's tab.
Then, in an ironic coincidence, the union, PASNAP held its convention at the same hotel, at the same time! It wasn't intentional -- the event had been scheduled long before the walk-out. The Sheraton gets a lot of business from unions because it is the largest Center City hotel with union housekeepers and restaurant staff. So, it's interesting that Temple chose that hotel to house the replacement staffers. (The union had another name for them.) Not sure how much mingling there was at the bar!
The next thing that happened was that U.S. Rep. Bob Brady got involved and helped broker the deal that settled the strike. That was probably the most usual part of the strike. The workers went out March 31, picketing until an April 27 settlement.
Finally, after the nurses and staff returned to work, they filed for unemployment benefits.
And they got them -- as much as $1.5 million. Why? Because, as it turned out, the strike was actually a "lockout." It had to do with the status of a tuition benefit and the union's willingness to continue to work during some portion of the talks. It's complicated legally, but the upshot was that the nurses walking the picket line received unemployment benefits.
Oh, but there's more. Temple had to pay the freight. Like many large employers, Temple was self-insured for unemployment benefits. That means that instead of paying into the state's unemployment insurance fund, the employer agrees that it will pay unemployment benefits to its employees if it lays them off. Safe bet, usually, since hospitals don't usually lay off many people.
But not that time. Temple had to pay all the benefits -- a hefty tab on top of the millions it had to pay for replacement workers.
It took a couple of months for that unemployment benefits decision to come down, but it was only a matter of days for one more shoe to fall. Temple University Health System announced that its president and chief executive Edmond F. Notebaert would leave to pursue other interests.
In this go-round, Temple's nurses and staffers got raises and improvements in patient-nurse ratios. They even settled the contract early. It was set to expire in September: A delightfully uneventful resolution.

For Taunton's Jimmy Madonna, Monday was another milepost in a four-year search for justice that began when an alleged murderer led him to the bullet-riddled body of his father in a Jeep parked at the Myles Standish Industrial Park.
For Taunton's Jimmy Madonna, Monday was another milepost in a four-year search for justice that began when an alleged murderer led him to the bullet-riddled body of his father in a Jeep parked at the Myles Standish Industrial Park.
Jimmy's father, James Madonna, was shot to death at age 44 in a murder that the Bristol County District Attorney's Office said was motivated by money. Timothy Cassidy, who was known as a close friend of the elder Madonna, was arrested and charged with murder shortly after an investigation started, when authorities tracked him down in a Georgia hotel room.
The surviving members of the Madonna family said they are constantly reminded of the violent end to the life of their patriarch. Jimmy Madonna, the older of the victim's two sons, said that while Monday was the four-year anniversary of when he found his father's lifeless body in a vehicle that was still running on Nov. 21, 2007, there is not a day that goes by when he does not envision that scene.
"It's almost like every day I get a flashback of that," said Jimmy Madonna, now 24, reflecting on the day he was led to his father's body. "I don't drive through the industrial park anymore."
Jimmy Madonna was behind the wheel of a car searching for his dad, with Cassidy in the passenger seat, allegedly feigning concern. Cassidy directed the young Jimmy Madonna to the exact location of his father's body, then prompting him to look inside the vehicle.
Cassidy was the last person with Madonna before his death, the Madonnas said, and he allegedly fled to Georgia just as he was expected by police to take a polygraph test. The two were playing poker the previous evening at the Taunton Holiday Inn, and the following day was a deadline set for Cassidy to pay back Madonna a multi-thousand dollar loan, the family said.
Jimmy Madonna said the pain his family suffers as a result of the murder has been amplified by what his family sees as a slow justice process. In this case, there were five different trial dates that were set but then delayed, with the next jury trial date scheduled for Jan. 9, 2012 at 8:30 a.m. at the Fall River Superior Court.
"It's pretty messed up," Jimmy Madonna said. "It's tough. It's very frustrating to me. And each time I go into the courtroom I see that guy (Cassidy) walk in with the same clothes, at the same time, and try to look good for the judge. But there is nothing you can do."
The trial has been delayed by continuances requested by Cassidy's defense attorney, the Quincy-based Elliot R. Levine. But representatives for the Bristol County District Attorney Sam Sutter say they expect the trial to take place on this coming court date, while prosecutors have been prepared on each of the five previously scheduled trial dates.
"We have been ready for trial, and fully expect the case to go to trial in January," said Gregg Miliote, a spokesperson for Sutter's office. "The only other thing I can say is that murder cases are the most complex and carry severe consequences to a defendant. For those reasons, judges often allow defense continuance requests to assure he or she has every opportunity to a thorough defense."
Also lengthening the case was follow-up investigation into a cover-up scheme that Cassidy allegedlly launched from inside county prison walls. In December 2009, the Bristol County District Attorney's office announced that Cassidy was trying to have a former cell mate, turned police informant, plant the murder weapon at the Madonna residence, with the help of Cassidy's friends and immediate family, in an effort to frame members of the Madonna family.
The loss of James Madonna was devastating to his family. Adding an even more tragic twist to the story — which was to be featured on America's Most Wanted before Cassidy was caught — is that along with being a close, longtime friend, Cassidy is a distant relative to the Madonnas, being the second cousin of James Madonna's widow, Pam.
Pam Madonna said the murder has torn life apart for her and her two sons, and she hopes a conviction will come soon, despite the delays that have added to their pain.
"We've had our lives on hold for four years," Pam Madonna said. "If a person is guilty, they don't want a speedy trial."
Levine, Cassidy's attorney, said although he couldn't go into detail, he believes his client will be cleared of the murder charge and will be set free.
"I think he will be found not guilty," Levine said. "I think the evidence will establish that he is not guilty. Beyond that, I can't comment."
Levine said there was a multitude of reasons for the five continuances but that he could not discuss them at this point.
Cassidy being found not guilty is unconscionable for the Madonnas.
"This person is slowly killing my family, not just Jim," Pam Madonna said. "We need justice. I can't even spread Jim's ashes until we have justice. I just don't feel like it's right yet."
On Sunday, the four-year anniversary of the day it was believed James Madonna was actually killed, Pam Madonna said her family held a get-together. "It was a really difficult day," Pam Madonna said.
Pam Madonna said the murder has been eating away at her father-in-law and mother-in-law, taking years off of their lives. She also said she has a whole new perspective on how homicides affect families, and is part of a homicide victims family support group in Brockton. She said that after the case concludes she would like to become an advocate for the families of homicide victims.
The death of her husband has caused severe depression in the family, and it put her two boys through a situation that no one should endure, Pam Madonna said.
"Jimmy saw something that nobody should ever see," Pam Madonna said. "My other son Matthew was just a senior in high school when it happened. As a mother, it eats me up inside. There is no justice for my kids. It's a tough, tough world out there."
Pam Madonna said she will always remember her husband as a "unbelievable father," who would help with anything around the house and who was loved by all his neighbors and family.
James Madonna was a trucker for most of his career, working for companies including J.J. Nissen Breads, Shaw's grocery stores and the Taunton-based Quality Beverage. Later on, at the time of his death, he worked for Cassidy's construction company, Pam Madonna said.
Jimmy Madonna, who recently bought a house in a nearby community partly to get out of the city of his father's death, said that he will always remember his dad as a great man.
"I miss him so much," Jimmy Madonna said. "Especially with stuff like this, buying my own house. He would have been very proud of that. I have a girlfriend who I hope to spend the rest of my life with, and he's not going to be able to be at my wedding. There is just so much he is going to miss that I would like him to be here for.
"Our whole family misses him and loves him," he said. "Obviously, at this time of the year we all wish he was here. It's always difficult to deal with."

Maybe I'm way off-base here (I'm just a parent and have sat in on JC only
once) but I don't think of JC as some dispenser of profound justice so much
as being a fair and accessible means of resolving the frictions that result
from people trying to live together. Not that this goal is, ultimately, any
different than what a public court aims to achieve - it's just that JC has a
context (democratically run school) that allows for more straight-forward
means of resolving disputes.
I mean, you don't usually have a defense attorney, prosecutor or a bunch of
witnesses present in traffic court - the type of problem being disputed
(say, a speeding ticket) just doesn't warrant that level of procedure. BUT
you do have the right to appeal the traffic court's decision, and have
recourse to juries and such, IF you think the situation warrants it.
Such is JC - the vast bulk of disputes are, objectively, not as serious even
as a traffic violation. What's important is that they get resolved promptly
in a manner the school and the people involved can live with - and this is a
high and honorable goal. BUT, again, there's always appeal to SM, in which
the whole community backstops the decisions of JC. This seems a very good
and noble set-up, to me. Not perfect, perhaps, but very good.

Subject: DSM: clarifying JC
It is baffling, and frustrating, to see people continuing to make
inaccurate assertions about JC. Let me attempt, as someone who has served
on JC an average of twice a week for 3.5 years at three different schools
(in addition to being JC clerk for six weeks), to clarify:
<<Having an active defense that has interest in the individual being charged
appears to me to be much more efficient than ,"so and so said he saw so and
so do this and that.">>
Hearsay is not considered as evidence in JC, as it isn't in government

> or not, whether it be the truth or not.
Like hearsay, "innocent until proven guilty" and "reasonable doubt" are
legal standards we, following the outside legal system, adhere to in JC. JC
is, first, a fact-finding body. The voting members talk to as many
witnesses as they need, to build as complete and accurate a picture as
possible. When they believe the evidence isn't there, they do not charge.
And when cases go on from JC to trial, defendants have the opportunity for
legal counsel, to make their case before a different jury.
I would add to Joe's apt analogy of JC-as-grand-jury one qualifier: there
is no prosecutor. JC runs the show, operating according to strict
guidelines designed to uphold due process (including replacing JC members
for bias, which a voting member, complainant or alleged violator may
request). All the involved parties have the opportunity to speak their
mind. The complainant and alleged violator are on equal ground in this

I've debunked this depiction in a previous post.
>From several posts I have read, there is much yet to be discussed about how
JC actually works. Please, can we all refrain from assuming the accuracy of
our or someone else's opinion of JC, and instead argue specific *facts*
from actual *experience*?

Obviously, Americans today have a much bigger issue going on than what CD to buy. Please make sure you exercise your constitutional right, and VOTE. It doesn't matter who you vote for–actually, let's rephrase that. I am not going to tell you who to vote for (although my choice for who'd make the best president should be obvious,) but it has long been my feeling that those who don't vote have no right to complain if/when the system doesn't work for them.

Some folks think Ne-Yo fell off with his last album, Libra Scale. I, too, was originally disappointed by the singer/songwriter's fourth release, only because his previous album, Year of the Gentleman, was as close to perfect as a pop/R&B album could be. I guess you have nowhere to go but down, right? Having listened in fits and starts over the past two years or so, I can certainly say that it deserved a better fate. Thankfully, Ne-Yo finds himself back on the airwaves, with solid prospects for his new album, entitled R.E.D. Although he's separated from the Def Jam machine, I can't imagine that his songwriting prowess and sweet voice has left him, and he even has a duet with country stud Tim McGraw on this album (and hey, why is Timmy the country star of choice for R&B singers and rappers?)
Aerosmith, it's been a long time! The Boston rockers' last studio album of original material came during the Clinton administration! In the meantime, the band's been touring, and there was that blues album a few years ago, and Steven Tyler went into rehab…and judged "American Idol"…and went into rehab…and left "American Idol," and then fell in the shower and knocked out all of his teeth. Um, so…yeah. Music from Another Dimension marks Aerosmith's return to the album-releasing business, and while singles so far have met with a resounding thud, maybe all the fans are just waiting to hear the album as a cohesive whole. Probably not, though.
If you know us, you know we love Mike Doughty. The former frontman of the band that won't be named has been a busy beaver this past year or so-releasing an album of original material, followed by a double live set, and now comes The Flip Is Another Honey, a covers albums. Ever wanted to hear John Denver get Doughty-ised? Well, you've got it here. A Doughty version of "Sit Down You're Rockin' The Boat?" The only version I know is by Don Henley, so Doughty singing it is an automatic improvement! Seriously-The Flip…doesn't suck like most covers albums do-a testament to Doughty's unique flavor.
That's more or less it for the major stuff. Unless you consider a Celine Dion album in French or a Kylie Minogue covers album (of her own songs) major stuff. There's also a new Now That's What I Call Music collection that will probably top the charts even though I doubt there's anything on there that'll turn my crank, plus new albums from the likes of Queensryche's Geoff Tate and Public Enemy. Viva la '90s!
Full list of new releases can be easily obtained by going right over to Pause & Play. Have a great week!

Is there some resource that explains how debugging works in VS2012 when using IVF (latest version)? It seems like with every new version of VS it gets harder to use the debugger. One thing we do a lot is to set breakpoints using conditionals. But inVS2012 it appears that you can only use variables that are actually used within a subroutine to set a conditional. Even a variable defined in a module that is used within the subroutine is not available as a local. Is this a behavior we have some control over? Can we make all USE variables available? It is most often the case the variables we like to use for conditionals are not used in the routine where we want to break.
Or is there a better debugger to use than the one in VS?
Is VS2013 better?

If you grew up listening to Christian radio, you inevitably came in contact with Adventures in Odyssey. Odyssey is Focus on the Family's long-running radio series that has broadcast close to 700 episodes since it first aired in 1987. Now on its third voice actor playing the lead role of John Avery Whittaker, the series is still going strong.
I don't remember ever intentionally listening to Odyssey. It wasn't the type of thing where we went, "Oh, it's that time of day again," and then the family would gather around the radio. Nevertheless, I grew up with Whittaker and Eugene and Connie. I felt like I knew them. I could see Whit's End and Odyssey in my mind. I remember when Hal Smith (Otis from The Andy Griffith Show and the first voice actor to play Whittaker) died.
National radio and TV form part of America's cultural consciousness. Although one grew up in Oklahoma and the other in California, when the two students meet at college, they have a shared culture they can use to relate to one another. They both grew up watching Home Improvement and playing GoldenEye 007. Odyssey is part of the cultural consciousness of many Christians.
Odyssey was already anachronistic when it premiered in 1987. Stations had quit producing and broadcasting radio dramas in the 1960s. The series began as a thirteen-week test series named Family Portraits set in a small town called—you guessed it—Odyssey. The test series proved so popular that Focus on the Family launched Odyssey USA which was later renamed Adventures in Odyssey.
The series revolves around John Avery Whittaker—or Whit—and Whit's End, the old-fashioned ice cream parlor owned and operated by the lead character. Whit hired a teenager named Connie to run the counter at Whit's End. He also hired Eugene, a brilliant yet inept college student who often clashed with Connie. Various kids from around Odyssey are constantly coming in and out of Whit's End.
If you didn't grow up with Odyssey, you're probably wondering what makes this radio series about a small town and ice cream parlor so popular. If you don't listen to Christian radio, you may not be familiar with the show at all. It fills a niche not being filled elsewhere in media. The continued success of conservative talk radio baffles liberals. Their attempts at liberal talk radio have repeatedly failed. Conservative talk radio fills a niche not being filled elsewhere in media. Yes, there's Fox News, but face it, the news media—newspapers, magazines, and TV—are overwhelmingly liberal.
Odyssey is a Christian sitcom. You don't find Christian sitcoms on TV. To many, Christian is a synonym for mediocre. Christian sitcom is just another way to say mediocre sitcom with a moral tacked on at the end. To be honest, that's what I was afraid Adventures in Odyssey was going to be.
It had been years since I had listened to Odyssey. I had recently discovered old-time radio shows like The Shadow and The Adventures of Sam Spade and loved them. I found a website where I could download most of Orson Welles' Mercury Theatre on the Air series. On Halloween a few friends and I drove out to a lake and popped a burned CD of "Dracula" into the car stereo. Welles' deep voice had us jumping at the smallest noise. At our Christmas party, we turned the lights out, lit some candles, and popped in a burned CD of "A Christmas Carol" that first aired in 1938.
All this got me thinking about the radio series set in Odyssey that I remembered listening to as a child. Focus on the Family has released the entire series going back to the very first episode on CDs. I ordered the first volume, The Adventure Begins: The Early Classics, twelve episodes from early in the series. I was apprehensive as I waited for the package to come in. Would it be as funny and entertaining as I remembered? Or now that I was older would my more finely-tuned critical sense see the series as a cheesy attempt at Christian indoctrination?
I listened to the first volume not once but twice. It was funny and entertaining. These were artists telling great stories. The stories include morals and Biblical truths, but the messages flow naturally from the stories. A story reflects the values of the storyteller. This is not to say that the morals and Biblical truths in Odyssey are unintentional. There is a difference between unintentional and unnatural though. Christianity and the Bible is important to the producers. It is natural that they would intentionally weave Biblical truths into the episodes. Art reflects what is most important in the artist's life.
The two-part episode, "The Imagination Station," that originally aired on March 18 and 28, 1989 introduced a new invention of Whittaker's that soon became a favorite on the series. Digger Digwillow said the titular Imagination Station looked like one of those old time machines in the comics. His description alludes to the origin of the Imagination Station.
In the bonus material included with the CD release of the episodes, Odyssey co-creator Steve Harris recalls a writer's meeting where they were discussing writing an episode about time travel. He wanted Odyssey to seem like a real place to kids and was afraid a time machine would make it too fantastical. That's when they came up with the idea of a machine that would harness a person's own imagination to make it seem like they were really in the past.
The Imagination Station is obviously a metaphor for Adventures in Odyssey itself. Unlike TV and movies, when listening to the radio, you have to use your imagination to come up with the pictures. The purpose of Odyssey is to make Biblical truths came alive for kids.
There's a deeper metaphor that can easily be missed. The Imagination Station is a metaphor for the core of Christian theology.
In the first part of "The Imagination Station," Tom Riley comes to Whit for help with a boy in his Sunday school class who doesn't pay attention. His parents can't get him to read his Bible either. He thinks it's boring. Whit suggests, "Maybe I can try this Imagination Station out on him. If it works the way I hope it will, Digger Digwillow won't be able to complain about the Bible being boring ever again. He'll have his own experience to prove it" (emphasis added).
Digger: What is all this stuff? Some kind of museum?
Whit: It's all part of the Bible room. Exhibits and inventions to help kids bring the Bible to life.
Digger: The Bible. You got any comic books around here?
Whit: No, we don't need comic books in the Bible room. You don't care much for the Bible, huh?
Digger: Well, it's alright, I guess. It's just that it's…well, nothing personal, but I think the Bible is kind of, you know, boring.
Whit: Boring? King David, Samson, Elijah, boring?
Digger: Yeah. I mean, I know all about those guys, and, well, I like my comic books better.
Whit: Comic books have their place, but they don't really compare to the Bible—especially since the Bible is true. You think you know all the stories, huh?
Digger: Yep. My dad went through our Bible at home, and he tried to pick out the interesting ones.
Whit: Hmm, then I suppose you know the greatest story in the Bible.
Digger: Probably. Which one you talking about?
Whit: The story of Jesus.
Digger: Oh yeah, I've heard it. He taught people and they killed him and stuff.
Whit: Oh, it's not as simple as that, Digger. Maybe you don't know it as well as you think you might.
Digger: Uh-oh, here it comes. What are you going to do, sit me on your knee and tell it to me?
Whit: No, I've got a better way.
The problem wasn't that the Bible was boring; the problem was that Digger had never met Jesus. He hadn't had a personal experience with Jesus. Christians are obsessed with the Bible, because they have had a life-changing encounter with Jesus, who is the central focus of the Bible.
Christians honestly believe the Bible is interesting. They don't study the Bible out of obligation or religious duty; they study the Bible, because they really want to know what it says. Odyssey isn't a way to dress up the Bible to make it palatable to kids; it is an honest attempt to introduce kids to the Bible, because the producers are convinced kids will be enthralled with the Bible once they read it.
Whit tells Digger he has a better way than sitting him on his knee and telling him a story. Maybe Whit means you have to find more exciting ways—like a radio drama or an Imagination Station—to teach the Bible in order to make it interesting. I don't think that's what Whit meant. You have to meet Jesus before the Bible will be interesting. Whit programs the Imagination Station to transport Digger to Passion Week.
While in the Imagination Station, Digger visits the Last Supper. He brings the bread to Jesus. As soon as he meets Jesus, things begin to change. He tries to relate to John Mark how he felt when Jesus looked at him, but he just stutters incoherently. John Mark responds, "My words exactly." In the second part, Digger has a conversion experience. He accepts Jesus as his Savior.
One of my favorite episodes is "Promises, Promises." It is an early episode—the seventh episode of the series in fact. Connie comments that she believes people are basically good deep down inside. Whit tells her that's a noble and wonderful sentiment, but unfortunately, it is also one of the most ridiculous things he has ever heard.
Whit explains, "I don't mean to offend you, but you're way off when you say that people are basically good deep down. That's not our nature. For proof all you have to do is look at any one of these youngsters running around here. Now, I don't have to tell any of them how to misbehave. They already know that. But I sure do have to teach them how to be good." This is deep theology. But never does it seem forced. It is an organic part of who these characters are.
Connie still disagrees. To prove Whit wrong, she says she's going to make a promise to be good and keep it. She writes down a promise to treat everyone she meets with kindness, gentleness, and patience. Whit says he's going to make it easier for her. He challenges her to pick just one thing, patience, and to set a time limit, four weeks. As you can imagine, Connie doesn't even make it a week.

Got Gas? Things YOU Can Do to Fight Flatulence!
Hey you. YES, you! Come a little closer…I want to tell you something. I'm on to you. I know that Fido isn't the member of your family with flatulence issues. So you can stop blaming your gas problems on the poor dog. The dog…oops, I mean the cat… is out of the bag! Are you tired of, well, for lack of better words, smelling up a room? Are you tired of blaming others (the dog included) when it comes to your embarrassing problem? Are you tired of rushing out of the conference room at work for fear of "letting one go" during an important presentation? If so, don't you think it's time to face your problem head on and take the bull by the horns? Well, my friend, you have come to the right place as I am about to provide you with some wonderful home remedies that just might help with your gassy problem.
First of all, there is NO need to be embarrassed. Did you know that the average adult passes gas between fifteen and twenty times per day! Now don't you feel better already? Just knowing you are not alone should provide some comfort! So why do we all pass gas in the first place? Well, it's simple really. We all swallow air throughout the day. We also take in certain gases such as carbon dioxide, methane and sulfur dioxide (which are produced while we are digesting food). Such gases are the smelly by-products of tiny, yet very hungry bacteria that live in your digestive tract. Now these friendly little fellows feed off the partially digested carbohydrates that are lingering within you (kind of sounds like a sci-fi movie if you ask me!). So next time you pass gas, don't blame the dog…blame the bacteria within.
Diet - The MAIN Cause!
Beans, beans, good for your heart, beans, beans, make you….well, you know how it ends. Unfortunately, there are many foods out there that are notorious for producing gas. In fact, the primary cause of flatulence is the digestive systems inability to properly absorb certain carbohydrates (yes, it all goes back to those pesky little bacteria within you). Beans, as you probably already know, are huge gas producers. If you just so happen to enjoy eating beans and don't want to give them up, there are things you can do so that you don't have to bid the bean goodbye.
Soak those legumes! Studies show that if you soak beans in water for 12 hours (before cooking) you will significantly reduce the amount of gas producing compounds. So fill up the pot and send your beans for a swim! Now I agree that twelve hours is a long time...god forbid you have an urgent bean craving that must be met. What do you do then? Well, my gassy friend, no need to worry…as there are things you can do to prevent (or reduce) the gas that beans cause. You can always keep gas fighting products such as Gas-X, Extra Strength Maalox and Maximum Strength Mylanta on hand. These products are taken AFTER a gas inducing meal. Beano, another well known gas fighting product, is taken BEFORE a meal. Available in tablets or drops, Beano is actually a plant enzyme that helps your body to break down the gas producing elements found in food. Other well known gas producing foods include cabbage, broccoli, brussels sprouts (now you have a real reason NOT to eat them), bananas, apricots, cauliflower and radishes…just to name a few.
Unfortunately, there are many candies and gums on the market that contain gas producing sweeteners. Be on the look-out for sorbitol, xylitol and mannitol as these sugar substitutes can cause major gas! Why? Well, your body has difficulty when it comes to digesting them. Remember the nasty little gas causing bacteria I mentioned earlier? Well, they LOVE sugar substitutes and will feast on them all day long. You may also have gas issues if you are lactose intolerant. If you are, simply take a supplemental over-the-counter product such as Lactaid when you consume milk or other dairy products.
What Else Can You Do!?
As you can see, diet plays a huge role when it comes to flatulence. Thankfully, there are many things you can do to control your problem. Below are a few home remedies that just may do the trick!
- Acidophilus: Take an acidophilus supplement each day for two to four weeks. So what exactly is acidophilus? Well, basically, acidophilus is one of the good bacteria that lives within your large intestine. Makes me think of the Wizard of Oz….acidophilus is the good witch and the nasty, gas causing bacteria is the bad witch!). Acidophilus helps to keep the bad bacteria in line and out of trouble. If you don't want to take supplements you can always buy yogurt that contains active, live cultures (such as Activia).
- Walk it Off: Yes, you will have to get off the couch for this one. Walking is a great way to encourage gas dispersal. Why do you think the doctor at the hospital makes you walk so soon after surgery? If you are feeling bloated and or gassy simply take a brisk walk around the block. Not only will you help your body get rid of excess gas, you will get some exercise too! Bonus!
- Curl Up: Now this may be difficult to do if you are at work (your co-workers might look at you funny), however, if you are able to curl up for a bit…do so! Simply lie down on your back and pull your knees up toward your chest. By doing this, you allow the gas within your body to escape more easily. Curling up is known to relieve the pain and discomfort that gas can cause.
- Make Some Tea: After a large meal, drink a cup of ginger tea. Ginger stimulates digestion so food won't linger in your intestines. Less food in your intestines means less food for the bad bacteria! Peppermint also helps minimize gas and improve digestion.
- Fennel Seeds: These seeds have been used for thousands of years! If you like licorice, then you will enjoy the taste of these little gas fighters. Simply chew half a teaspoon of seeds after a meal, or, if you wish, sprinkle some on your food (you can also make fennel tea!).
- Papaya: Who knew that papaya was a flatulence fighter! Papaya contains an enzyme called papain that actually helps the body break down food. You can pop a papaya pill or drink papaya juice..whatever makes you happy.
Though many people laugh and giggle when someone passes gas, in reality, it can be a rather embarrassing problem! Fortunately, gas is an equal opportunity employer (unless, of course, you are a robot). So there is no need to hide or feel humiliated…we all deal with gas issues at one time or another. It is important to note that if flatulence bothers you CONTINUOUSLY and is accompanied by bloating and diarrhea, it is very important that you visit your doctor. Severe gas can be an indicator that something is not quite right and your body is trying to tell you something…so LISTEN! Good luck and may your room clearing gas problem soon be a thing of the past!
Sometimes, You Just Gotta Laugh!

of these quotations so the reader can access the original document
and verify the quotation in its original context.
"Jesus Christ and eternal life are synonymous terms, and eternal life is none other than Jesus Christ Himself, of whom it is written in John 1:4 "In Him was life; and this life was the light of men." If you have eternal life at all, it simply means that you have the Son, Jesus Christ NOW! Eternal life is not a peculiar feeling inside! It is not your ultimate destination, to which you will go when you are dead. If you are born again, eternal life is that quality of life that you possess right now, at this very moment, in your own physical body, with your own two feet on the ground, and in the world TODAY! And where does this life come from? Of Him! He is that life! So if you have eternal life, it means that you have Somebody, Jesus Christ, and the life that you possess is of Him." (W. Ian Thomas - The Saving Life of Christ. Zondervan 1961. pg149)

BT agrees deal with Sky
BT's pay-TV customers will have access to Sky Sports 1 and 2 from August
BT has finally agreed a deal to carry Sky's sports channels on its pay-TV service. BT's 450,000 customers will be able to watch Sky Sports 1 and 2 from the start of the Premiership season in August. The deal follows Ofcom's ruling that Sky must cut the wholesale prices it charges rival broadcasters for the sports channels. That ruling is the subject of legal challenges.

President Ollanta Humala is backing legislation that was approved in Congress last week that would allow the Armed Forces to intercept suspected drug trafficking airplanes, and shoot them down if they refuse to obey orders to land.
"I think it is a positive issue because it is going to be a deterrent against any drug planes that want to enter Peruvian territory," Humala said in comments picked up by daily El Comercio.
Since about 2010, Peruvian anti-drug police and analysts have seen an uptick in the number of small aircraft that fly in and out of Peru's coca growing valleys to pick up coca paste and cocaine. The planes come mainly from Bolivia, landing in the valleys of the Apurimac and Ene rivers, which with the Mantaro river valley are known strategically as the VRAEM.
In Februry this year, the anti-drug agency Devida's director, Alberto Otárola, announced that the VRAEM area was to become a no-fly zone.
The VRAEM is the world's top coca growing region, accounting for almost 70% of all coca leaves produced in the country. The area straddles the south-central regions of Cusco, Ayacucho, Huancavelica and Junin.
Peru used to practice flight interdiction in the late 1990s with assistance from the United States' Drug Enforcement Administration, DEA, helping to curb an aerial corridor used by traffickers to smuggle cocaine from Peru to Colombia. But the government halted the policy following the accidental shooting of a small aircraft carrying an American missionary family, killing the mother and a toddler. The aircraft had been mistakenly identified as a possible drug flight by DEA pilots, who relayed the information to the Peruvian air force to shoot the plane down when the pilot did not respond to orders to land.
Officials in President Ollanta Humala's administration have said it is necessary to restart the program now due to the increased number of aircraft flying in daily to move cocaine from Peru to Bolivia. From there, the cocaine is taken to Brazil, Argentina or another South American country, where some is consumed but most is shipped abroad, often to Europe. A recent shipment of cocaine that was seized at a port in Italy had been shipped from Argentina.
The frequency of the flights into the area make the makeshift airstrips at "Santa Rosa, Mayapo and Llochegua seem like the Jorge Chavez International Airport" according to a specialist in the police force, quoted in a series of special reports by investigative journalist Gustavo Gorriti last year in IDL-Reporteros.
Peru's government says the measure is necessary in order to protect national security. It said there are concerns about the possibility of the planes bringing in weapons to the VRAEM, where a splinter group of the Shining Path rebels operates as protection to growers and traffickers.
U.S. officials in Lima are critical of any plans to restart the flight interdiction program, saying that it would break international aviation law. There is also a fear of new mistakes if intelligence and communications are not fully clear.

Serena Williams appeared in her first Grand Slam quarterfinal of the year and defeated Kaia Kenepi 6-3, 6-3 Monday, keeping alive her hopes for a third straight U.S. Open title.
The top-seeded Williams lost in the fourth round of the Australian Open, the second round of the French Open and third round of Wimbledon. She said she felt the pressure of getting to the quarters of Flushing Meadows.
Williams won her first 12 service points against Kenepi, a 50th-ranked player from Estonia. Williams next plays 11th-seeded Flavia Pennetta, a 7-5, 6-2 winner over 29th-seeded Casey Dellacqua.

Although this may appear on the surface like an exorbitant sum to pay, the rationale will be clear in time.
Kinross Pays a Golden Premium
The lofty price tagOn Monday, Kinross announced a friendly merger to acquire the shares of Red Back Mining, in exchange for Kinross shares and purchase warrants valued at $7.1 billion. Since Kinross already owns 9.3% of Red Back shares, the deal implies a $7.83 billion valuation for a producer with 8.07 million ounces of proven and probable gold reserves. Even if we back out Red Back's $730 million cash hoard, the valuation amounts to $880 for each gold ounce in reserves; which is $132 more (per ounce) than Barrick Gold's (NYSE: ABX) second-quarter operating margin.
Lihir's board has blessed Newcrest's revised offer of nearly $8.7 billion, and that deal now appears set to proceed. Using the same procedure as above, the valuation that Newcrest's offer places upon Lihir is equivalent to $265 per ounce of gold in reserves. Expressed another way, the implied valuation of Lihir's non-cash assets is just 15% more than the Red Back valuation, but Lihir offers 284% more proven and probable gold reserves than Red Back. Moreover, with more than 1 million ounces of annual production, Lihir's existing production volume is more than twice that of Red Back.
With myriad factors to consider, from ore grades to recovery rates, direct comparisons (like the one with Lihir Gold above) are seldom seamless. However, a $615 per-ounce-in-reserve disparity in implied valuation between two established producers can, in my opinion, only be ascribed to a confident expectation of massive reserve expansion.
According to Kinross, "The significant upside in reserves that we believe exists at Red Back, and Kinross' ability to accelerate that potential, makes this an outstanding prospect for shareholders of both companies."
This reminds me of Goldcorp's (NYSE: GG) similarly bullish characterization of the San Dimas mine sold to soon-to-launch Primero Mining, where Goldcorp stated: "the true potential of the deposits are neither fully realized nor reflected in the stated reserves and resources."
With a remarkable exploration effort under way, employing 26 drilling rigs between the two mine complexes, I suspect that Kinross has pounced upon this emerging treasure in advance of a wholesale reserve expansion that will justify the expenditure over time. I expect this transaction to spark further acceleration of dealmaking activity in the sector, with cash-flush giants like Newmont Mining (NYSE: NEM) likewise being forced to pony up a pretty penny for assets in production. As for Kinross, the gap that I had identified in its production pipeline has finally been filled in. Kinross has graduated from a miner to avoid to a miner worth watching.

Every year at San Diego Comic-Con, the Syfy channel consumes a local cafe in the middle of the Gaslamp Quarter and transforms it into a living ad for whatever series they want to feature. This year the new TV show "The Expanse" (adapted from the popular "Leviathan Wakes") brought the plot's space mining to Earth.
The restaurant takeover started on the outside and spread all the way inside, rebranding the menus, host stand and even bathrooms. The entire exterior was wrapped in an ad for "The Expanse" set on an asteroid belt. Hovering over the entrance is a collection of space-suit-wearing models climbing over asteroid rocks (the series is set in a newly colonized solar system near an asteroid belt where some characters find employment mining).
Tables are covered in star charts, and PR stills of the new characters moodily moon over the restaurant's patrons. And in the back there's a VR experience that allegedly puts you inside the series, clearly Syfy spared no expense to market its new TV show.
"The Expanse" is set in the future and stars Thomas Jane, who plays, wait for it, a space detective! Yup, this is half noir thriller half space odyssey. Jane's character is Josephus Miller, he was born in the asteroid belt and has been tasked with the job of finding a missing woman in this space madness. Naturally nothing is as it seems, you know the usual noir shtick, but this time in space.
We put together a photo gallery so you too can eat highly marketed space eggs, just with your eyes.

Hurricane Dean Soaks Mexico's Coast
Hurricane Dean roared ashore on Mexico's Yucatan Peninsula early Tuesday, carrying sustained winds of 165 mph and causing storm surges of 12 to 18 feet. But it hit a relatively unpopulated area of the coastline, and then weakened.
MELISSA BLOCK, host:
From NPR News, this is ALL THINGS CONSIDERED. I'm Melissa Block.
ROBERT SIEGEL, host:
And I'm Robert Siegel.
It was the strongest storm to hit Mexico in decades. A category five with wind gusts up to 200 miles per hour. But so far, it seems the damage from Hurricane Dean in Mexico has been limited to property. There have been no reports of deaths or serious injuries. It did kill 13 people in the Caribbean earlier.
BLOCK: Dean has now been downgraded to a category one storm, but it may gain strength again as it crosses into the Gulf of Mexico heading toward major offshore oil installations. It is then charted to make a second landfall farther north.
Coming up, we'll here from the governor of the Mexican state where Dean came ashore. First, here's Lourdes Garcia-Navarro from Mexico City.
LOURDES GARCIA-NAVARRO: It was perhaps a blessing that Dean missed Mexico's major tourist areas like Cancun and Playa Del Carmen. Hurricane Wilma in 2005 caused billions of dollars of damage at the lifeblood of the Yucatan Peninsula. Whole beaches in Cozumel and Cancun were wiped out. Still, the area where Dean did make landfall close to the Belize border and the town of Chetumal is home to some of the most vulnerable people in the state of Quintana Roo.
The Mayan Indians there live in thatched huts and have largely been bypassed by the explosion of tourism wealth. Thousands of them are believed to have braved the storm in remote areas and it may take days to know how everyone fared.
Chetumal itself has been left without power and some of the roofs were torn off houses. Water reaching thigh-high has flooded many of the streets of this low-lying state capital city of 150,000.
Mexican President Felipe Calderon left the North American Summit early to return to Mexico from Canada. His country is facing more of Dean. The storm will be touching down again farther up the coast in the state of Veracruz as probably a much weaker category two. Still, that area is mountainous and mudslides are a concern.
Even though for now the damage to infrastructure does not seem to be substantial, Mexico has suffered some serious financial losses due to Dean. Over 400 rigs in its major oil and gas-producing region in the Gulf of Mexico have been evacuated, meaning the production of 2.7 million barrels of oil a day has been halted.
Dean is one of the strongest storms on record to have ever hit land. But it seems that Mexico's Yucatan was spared a catastrophe.

Senovia Martines is 38 years old and has 8 children. To support her family, Senovia used to have to work in Managua as a maid. Senovia was only able to come home for 2 days every two weeks and she didn't like leaving her family alone. Now, because of a Rainbow Network loan, Senovia works in her community and is able to be with her family every day. The Rainbow Network started a sewing cooperative that makes school uniforms and other articles of clothing, and Senovia is the president of the cooperative. She makes enough money to provide for her family. Senovia is very thankful for the opportunity given to her by Rainbow Network, "I am here because I believe that God wants me to be here today. I also want to thank the Rainbow Network for bringing the feeding centers, education programs, scholarship programs and the sewing cooperative to our community because it has been a benefit for all people. IT'S A BLESSING FROM GOD and a miracle that there's all these programs and services that we didn't have before. I hope you won't stay with us just for a period of time, but I hope you can stay forever!"
Griselda, improving life for her children
SOLANOS, CIUDAD SANDINO | Griselda is the single mother of three teenage children in Solanos. She runs a small store called a "Pulperia" out of her home, where she sells food to others in the community. Rainbow Network micro-loans provided the opportunity to start a modest store and now, as she nears paying off her 10th loan, she has expanded her enterprise and can do more for her family. Two of her children attend secondary school on scholarships. She says, "Before the Rainbow Network came to Solanos, few children could attend school. Now, almost all of the children are able to study."
Eunice, a 29 year old woman living in the Nagarote network.
When Rainbow Network arrived in her community Eunice was newly orphaned and raising her two younger brothers in a tiny mud hut. She said they survived on handouts from the kindness of similarly impoverished neighbors, but there often wasn't enough food to share.
With Rainbow scholarships, she was able to attend first high school and then trade school for a year to become a professional seamstress.
Five years ago, she moved into a Rainbow house, where she now lives with her husband and 2 year old son. They make much of their living with a sewing machine bought on a RN micro-loan, using cloth from another loan. With the profits from each piece of clothing, she is on track to paying off their mortgage.
Diego, making credit count - UPDATED 2016
SAN MIGUELITO, NAGAROTE | Diego Rufino Lamping is from San Miegulito in the Nagarote region. He is a natural salesman and an entrepreneur who has parlayed a series of 17 Rainbow Network loans into an increasingly robust business.
He began with a microloan that was used to set up a small road-side business selling food. A later loan was used to buy a sturdy wagon that allows year-round transport of supplies from Nagarote, allowing him to remain fully-stocked, even during the rainy season. Subsequent microloan purchases have included a cow, horse, lawnmower to cut feed grass for the livestock, and a freezer to store perishables for sale in his store.
"The most beautiful thing about Rainbow Network," Diego says, is that "when peace is missing in community, RN implements the peace of Christ." Diego's 16-year history with the Rainbow Network includes 11 years leading his local committee and acting as a community coordinator. He says he has seen much improvement in that time, including overall economic stability, better health for the community, and the addition of two teachers to prepare young people for the world.
Some of those young people are in Diego's family. One son is following in his father's business legacy, gaining a microloan to make and sell cheese. Another of his sons is training to become a veterinarian, and he says it all begins with education. "The government gives only a little help, but wants something in return," he says. "But Rainbow Network's help is unconditional."
Valentina, achieving economic independence
CIUDAD SANDINO | Valentina is a widow living in Ciudad Sandino, Nicaragua with her grandson. She was approved as a Rainbow housing recipient in 2000, and has since transformed her livelihood with hard work and Rainbow micro-loans. Initially, she worked as a maid cleaning houses, but began selling bread in the streets and later open-air markets for extra money. She jumped at the opportunity to engage her entrepreneurial skills with a loan, which allowed her to start a small general store. In addition to the store, she bought chickens and pigs with micro-loan money. In 2011, she paid off her house with income from her store and farm. This is a huge step in moving her family forward – her grandson recently graduated University with a degree in graphic design and their small family is proud of their economic independence. Valentina was recently able to purchase a small dining table for when her children visit from the capital city where they live and work – a small token that represents the culmination of her hard work.
Professor Felix Susana, businesswoman and educator
LA PALMA, LA PAZ CENTRO | Experience from her work on her community's Rainbow Education Committee and two years in technical school was exactly what Felix Susana needed to get a job with the Nicaragua Ministry of Education. In addition to her work as a teacher and education administrator, she volunteers on the Rainbow Nutrition Committee and started a small business to supplement her family income. With micro-loans, she bought grains, soft drinks, and school supplies to sell in her store. Recently, another micro-loan enabled her to purchase a freezer, so she can sell perishables to the people in her community, and hire an assistant to run the store during the day so she can dedicate time to her true passion; teaching primary school. Professor Felix Susana is an inspiration because of her work to lift her own family out of poverty, educate the young people of Filos de Cuajachillo, boost her local economy with a store, and even provide a job to another person her community.

One of the strangest and can't-quite-get-why-it-happens types of behaviors experienced by dog owners is the act of dogs eating poop. I mean – it is completely disgusting and there's no reason why they should do it, right? Well, if we look back to our own childhoods there was a time when we too put anything that took our fancy into our mouths – also much to the disgust and occasional horror of our parents.
Select The Part You Are Interested In:
The main difference being, of course, that the majority of people do grow out of this at some stage or another – though the fascination with poop for dogs can sometimes never grow old and they might continue to eat it then do their best to plant you one on the lips (yuck!) well into their adult years.
If you want to get technical about it, the term for this behavior is referred to as "coprophagia" – but to the rest of us, that translates simply into "dog with a poop eating problem". Is it really that big a deal? Absolutely, for the obvious disgust factor alone – but also because it's not the most hygienic thing to do and you never really know how having such a snack might affect your dog.
So why do dogs eat poop? There are actually quite a few reasons, and it is not always simply because like young children puppies have an urge to taste everything no matter how disgusting it may seem to us.

Representing River Island Design Forum for Spring/Summer 2013 we have young British designer, Georgia Hardinge.
Georgia has created a 14 piece collection for her first high street collaboration, which will be available to buy in selected River Island stores and online in March.
Taking the work of the surrealist sculptor and painter, H. R. Giger, as her inspiration, Georgia has designed a range of clothing and accessories featuring bespoke 2D prints which give the impression of 3D sculptures.
Ahead of its release in River Island stores and online, Georgia's collection will launch via short film at London Fashion Week's biannual Fash/On Film Festival: the initiative we created with the British Fashion Council to support and develop film within the fashion industry.
Georgia's Design Forum film was created and directed by the talented filmmaker, Alex Turvey. We went along to the video shoot last week and can't wait to see the finished product - it promises to be a real spectacle! In between film takes we quickly chatted to Georgia about her range. She commented:
"Working with a really strong team of people at River Island has been a great experience; it's so nice to have lots of people to make my designs a reality. It is nice to be a part of something so new and I definitely think this is the way forward for the high street, making a luxury product become accessible to all."
Luxury accessible to all? We like the sound of that! We can't show you the whole collection yet but you can bet it's going to be worth the wait. We'll keep you posted with all the updates and the release details here on Style Insider. Until then, what do you think of the sketches and preview of Georgia's range so far?

Knox College in Galesburg, Illinois, turns 180 years old today. Beta Theta Pi's Xi Chapter is the oldest fraternity on campus. It was installed in 1855. It was the first fraternity chapter in Illinois. Currently on campus, Beta is joined by Phi Gamma Delta (1867), Sigma Nu (1891 at Lombard), Sigma Chi (2007), and Tau Kappa Epsilon (1912). Other organizations which were once on campus include Phi Delta Theta (1871), Lambda Chi Alpha (1915), and Phi Sigma Kappa (1928).
The Illinois Delta Chapter of Pi Beta Phi was chartered on March 7, 1884. In 1889, the Epsilon chapter of Delta Delta Delta became the second women's fraternity at Knox. College. A member of the Simpson College Tri Delta chapter initiated the chapter at the home of one of the charter members. A reception was held at the Phi Gamma Delta Hall at Knox College. Phi Mu established a chapter at Knox in 1912; it closed in 1989.
The 1929 stock market crash and the onset of the Great Depression hit Lombard College, also located in Galebsurg, extremely hard and Lombard closed its doors. The last class graduated in 1930. Knox College invited the Lombard students to transfer to Knox, with the same tuition cost and without loss of academic standing. The men's and women's fraternities attempted to make the best of the situation. The Pi Beta Phi chapters joined together to create Pi Beta Phi's only doubly named chapter, Illinois Beta-Delta. The Alpha Xi Delta Chapter approached Zeta Pi, a local organization at Knox, about the members becoming members of Alpha Xi Delta. Seven collegiate and 29 alumnae members of Zeta Pi were initiated into Alpha Xi Delta in September 1929. It remained the Alpha Chapter. The chapter was declared dormant by the national organization in 1973. The Delta Zeta chapter also moved to Knox and it closed in 1964. It is unclear what became of the Theta Upsilon chapter (that organization became a part of Delta Zeta in 1962).
In 2007, the Eta Kappa Chapter of Kappa Kappa Gamma was established and in 2010 Alpha Sigma Alpha joined the Knox fraternal community.
My favorite story is that of Knox College graduates Grace Lass, Pi Beta Phi, and Francis Hinckley Sisson, Beta Theta Pi. They were married in Galesburg, Illinois, on June 16, 1897. She served as Grand President of Pi Beta Phi from 1895-99 and he was President of Beta Theta Pi from 1912-18.
At the time of their marriage, Mr. Sisson, who had done post-graduate work at Harvard University, was the Editor of the Galesburg Daily Mail. In 1903, they moved to New York City, where he took a job with McClure's Magazine. A year later, he became Advertising Manager for the American Real Estate Company and took over as its Secretary from 1908-14. He then took a job with the H.E. Lesan Advertising Agency. From there he became the Assistant Chairman of the Railways Executive's Advisory Association. In 1917, he was employed as the Vice President of the Guaranty Trust Company. He was still with the company when he passed away in 1933. In addition, he served as President of the American Bankers Association
When the Sissons moved to New York City, they lived in several homes. The 1906 Pi Beta Phi Directory lists the Sissons at 839 West End Avenue. In 1917, their address was 70 Undercliff in the Park Hill section of Yonkers. The 1931 Westchester City Social Record lists the Sissons as still living at the 70 Undercliff address with a winter residence of 480 Park Avenue. In the 1936 Pi Beta Phi Directory, the Sissons were living at 170 Shonnard Terrace in Yonkers.
The Sissons called the home at 170 Shonnard Terrace "Chateau Fleur de Lys," the name given to it by Dr. H. deB. Seebold of New Orleans who built it in 1890. The Gothic Renaissance chateau was designed by Seebold and he spent 20 years collecting old world treasures to use in it.
The gray stone home was said to be only one of four French chateaus on the Hudson River. An article about a charity bridge event that Mrs. Sisson hosted for the Charity Organization Society in the early 1930s, described the home's interior:
Through this foyer one reaches the beautifully proportioned Robin Hood room in which the bridge will be held. The handsome, carved oak ceiling, from which the room derives its name, came originally from the Earl of Nottingham's manor house and is made from black oaks which grew in Sherwood Forest.
Here also are the huge windows, reaching from floor to ceiling, brought from a French chateau. Of leaded opaque stained glass, with a pattern of rippling gold, they flood the room with a honey-colored light.
There is a room for every mood in this fascinating house. There is the quiet sanctity of the Chapel, lighted with the jewel colors of stained glass that lends to its dimness a beauty which changes with every shifting light and the gayety and brightness of the frivolous Marie Antoinette room, with its painted woodwork and garlands of flowers.
Each room has its share of treasures, from the library with its exquisitely carved Italian door to the kitchen with its simple Norman fireplace, all showing the artistic design and careful workmanship which the artisan of that brought to his task….And in this house, Mrs. Sisson has created a gracious background and a fit setting for this unique collection, through her understanding of its enduring perfection.
Mrs. Sisson died on August 16, 1939 at the age of 71. In 1941, dancer Michel Fokine and his wife Vera purchased the home. The home stood empty from 1958-63 when it was the target of vandals and souvenir hunters. It was purchased by Thelma Stovel. A article in a 1966 Herald Statesman, told the story of "one of Yonker's oldest and most historic homes" and the effort Stovel was putting into the chateau's renovation.
In 2001, Kohle Yohannan purchased the home from a Haitian woman in her eighties who was then living there. Windows were broken, squirrels roamed freely, the roof leaked, and the list of repairs that needed to be done was very long. Although it took 10 years and much effort, he did a phenomenal job of restoring the home. It has been rented for photo shoots (Neiman Marcus, Victoria's Secret, Vogue magazine), music videos (Beyonce's Irreplaceable) and film/television (Mona Lisa Smile, HBO's Boardwalk Empire). He changed the name to Greystone Court.
It is currently on the market for $4+ million (down from $6 million a few years ago). See the link below, and then take a look at the castle in which the Grand Presidents of Pi Beta Phi and Beta Theta Pi once lived.

A few weeks ago I was introduced to Wellesley Equestrian. Wellesley Equestrian offers personalized brushes, equestrian gifts, ribbon displays, and fashion forward products for the rider. Custom horse brushes make the perfect gift or awards. Carolyn offered to send me a set of custom brushes and of course I said yes! I am horse hunting right now, but I'm going to have one spoiled pony when she finally arrives.
I was so impressed with how quickly the new brushes came and attention to detail with packaging. I snapped a photo on Instagram and jumped for joy. These brushes are almost too pretty to use…
Add your barn name or horse's name to these elegant wooden brushes. I opted to have Horses & Heels put on my new brushes. You can order a full set of brushes and a matching grooming box too. Be the envy of any barn with a stylish grooming box.
Hello glamorous grooming supplies! My new brushes pair perfectly with Ponytail Products. Clean ponies make me happy.
Be sure to check out Wellesley Equestrian online and keep up with them on Instagram too.

New York - A UN envoy is expressing concern about reports of sexual attacks against Somali women fleeing famine.Margot Wallstrom, the secretary-general's special representative on sexual violence in conflict, said in a statement on Thursday that women and girls "are subjected to attacks, including rape, by armed militants and bandits" on the journey to the Kenya border.Once in Kenya or at the Dadaab refugee camp, she said, "their hopes of finding a safe haven are often overshadowed by new dangers and hardships, including the risk of rape".Wallstrom said her office also has received "alarming information about alleged rapes" by government-allied militia in south-central Somalia and of al-Shabaab Islamist militants abducting girls for forced marriage to fighters.
What an incredibly insightful conclusion. Quite right to issue a press release about this - that will teach the b&st&rds.
I wonder if they're planning to do anything really useful, like maybe issue a Resolution or something?

Paralegals work in law firms, under the supervision of a lawyer, and assist attorneys by reducing case loads, investigating the facts of cases, and performing legal research. Ranked as one of the best jobs in America by CNN, job opportunities in the paralegal field are plentiful, due to rising legal fees, and the fact that more clients are demanding the use of paralegals. Court reporting is an alternative career path, involving transcription during court trials, depositions, and other legal proceedings. Some court reporters provide captioning for television and real-time translation in business meetings, or in classrooms.
A paralegal may draft pleadings, deposition notices, subpoenas, and prepare briefs. Paralegals may assist in preparing depositions, administrative proceedings, and other legal documents. Job duties may include filing documents with the court, and assisting at hearings and trials.

As vote-counting continued late into Tuesday night, Republican incumbent Steve Bosley held the lead but still faced a challenge from Democrat Melissa Hart in the race for an at-large seat on the University of Colorado Board of Regents.
With 35 percent of precincts reporting, Bosley had 51 percent of the vote. Hart claimed 44 percent of votes, with Libertarian Jesse B. Wallace trailing at 5 percent.
Bosley said that although he remained cautious, he was encouraged that some of the uncounted votes came from counties he expected to do well in.
"I'm just sitting and watching," he said. "I'm pleased with it."
The winner will take office in the wake of another tuition increase: The board approved a 9 percent tuition hike at the university earlier this year. The nine-member board features seven members elected from each of Colorado's seven congressional districts, as well as two members elected at large.
Once elected, members serve six-year terms.

Prepping for Halloween
We've been terribly busy with this year's Doorless Chambers Halloween treat, causing us to neglect our duties here on the website.
If you've been following us on Google+ or Twitter, you'll know how frustrating it has been, trying to design a seemingly simple device. Oddly enough, we may have found the answer to our dilemma in an old patent design. Sure, we could have gone sifting through patent designs to begin with, but we didn't want to inadvertantly "steal" anyone's ideas. Plus, we firmly believe that a person learns better by doing.
With the treat finished (illustrated instructions pending), we can then move on to this year's Haunted Experience makeover. This year's theme has yet to be determined, and we are unlikely to be ready by September 1 for a two-month Halloween celebration like last year. But, who knows what will happen. Maybe we'll put the treat aside (there's plenty of time to work on it) to work on the website.
Robert Nava (aka Trader Sam) is the owner and operator of Doorless Chambers. This is being disclosed in accordance with the Federal Trade Commission's 16 CFR, Part 255: "Guides Concerning the Use of Endorsements and Testimonials in Advertising."

Again i'm going to bang on about it but how many Ecudorians, Moroccans, Columbians etc. bought with 130% mortgages in boom times.
How many of them have handed the keys back to the bank and returned home leaving their debt??
What is the enormous cost of this to Spain and their banking system and therefore to the rest of us?

California needs more interpreters for patientsAugust 15, 2013 Updated: August 16, 2013 10:21am
Within minutes of the Asiana Airlines Flight 214 crash in July, San Francisco General Hospital administrators knew they needed language translation services to help victims of this horrific accident. The hospital's medical staff put out the call for anyone who could interpret, and hospital personnel were able to communicate with the injured by asking Korean-speaking staff to double as interpreters. These patients were fortunate that San Francisco General found enough medical interpreters, but the unfortunate truth is that access to translation services is a major gap in our health care throughout the state.

Kelloggs Frosties [TV Advertisement]
5 reviews from the community
Review of "Kelloggs Frosties [TV Advertisement]"
"Frosties Advert - "They're Gonna Taste Great""
I've heard very mixed opinions about this ad since it made it's debut a few months ago, some positive but mostly negative.The ad in question is the one where a boy walks around singing a song about how great frosties are.
Along the way he is met by an increasingly large number of children who join him in the singing.
Throughout the advert the boy visits many bizarre countries and locations, from Australia to New York - singing all the while.
The song is very annoying, and its shameless use of rhyming words makes you want to sing along whilst ripping out your ears at the same time.
It is catchy though, and I found that after hearing it I just could not get it out of my head.
They're very colourful, original and will definitely stick in your head for a while to come.
In a sad, strange way I actually find them quite funny as well.
Love it or hate it, the ad has certainly done its job of advertising the product.
The effect that the advert has had on people definitely shows - I've heard more people talk about Frosties in the last few months than I have in the last 10 years put together!
Thanks for reading!

Phuket Maps - Similan Islands
The Similan Islands lie off the west coast of Phang Nga in the Andaman Sea. The islands are spectacular enough with great granite boulders and powdery beaches. However the real appeal of the Similans is what lies under the water. They are surrounded by great snorkelling and scuba diving sites. Some of the most famous scuba diving sites are shown on the map in orange text.
