Gastroparesis, also called delayed gastric emptying, is a disorder in which the stomach takes too long to empty its contents. It often occurs in people with type 1 diabetes or type 2 diabetes.
Gastroparesis happens when nerves to the stomach are damaged or stop working. Theautonomic nervous systemcontrols the movement of food through the digestive tract. If the autonomic nervous system is damaged, the muscles of the stomach and intestines do not work normally, and the movement of food is slowed or stopped.
Diabetes can damage the autonomic nervous system if blood glucose levels remain high over a long period of time. High blood glucose causes chemical changes in nerves and damages the blood vessels that carry oxygen and nutrients to the nerves.
The digestive system
Signs and Symptoms
Signs and symptoms of gastroparesis are:
- heartburn
- nausea
- vomiting of undigested food
- an early feeling of fullness when eating
- weight loss
- abdominal bloating
- erratic blood glucose levels
- lack of appetite
- gastroesophageal reflux
- spasms of the stomach wall
- erratic bowel movements
These symptoms may be mild or severe, depending on the person.
Complications of Gastroparesis
If food lingers too long in the stomach, it can cause problems like bacterial overgrowth from the fermentation of food. Also the food can harden and cause nausea, vomiting, and obstruction in the stomach.This can be dangerous ifit blocks the passage of food into the small intestine.
Gastroparesis can make diabetes worse by adding to the difficulty of controlling blood glucose. When food that has been delayed in the stomach finally enters the small intestine and is absorbed, blood glucose levels rise. Since gastroparesis makes stomach emptying unpredictable, a person's blood glucose levels can be erratic and difficult to control.
Major Causes of Gastroparesis
Gastroparesis is most often caused by
- diabetes
- postviral syndromes
- anorexia nervosa
- surgery on the stomach or vagus nerve
- medications, particularly anticholinergics and narcotics (drugs that slow contractions in the intestine)
- gastroesophageal reflux disease (rarely)
- smooth muscle disorders such as amyloidosis and scleroderma
- nervous system diseases, including abdominal migraine and Parkinson's disease
- metabolic disorders, including hypothyroidism

Robert Adams believes that everyone has at least three talents. For Adams, his talents are writing, marketing, and cooking but not necessarily in that order. Adams entered the food world as a young busboy, later becoming the assistant Manager of The Changing Scene restaurant in his hometown of Rochester, New York, at the age of 19, the same year he received a degree in Hotel and Restaurant Management (SUNY Delhi). For someone who would become the personal butler to Leona Helmsley, the food service industry would seem to be his destiny. Adams, however, was not content with the status quo. He felt he "needed to explore more corners of the world." And travel he did. From driving an 18 wheeler to sailing the Caribbean, he had soon logged enough miles on land and sea to be quoted extensively as "an experienced traveler" in a New York Times article, which also featured Charles Kurault.
But world travelers often make some of their most illuminating discoveries right in their own backyards. Returning to Rochester, Adams pooled his three talents to crystallize an idea that had been simmering in the back of his mind for nearly a decade. Here he would compile a cookbook that would be a tribute to the bravery and talent of North America's firefighters. Having established his own publishing company in 1993, Adams wrote what would become a national bestseller, Food from America's Bravest: A North American Experience in Firehouse Cooking. Since then, the cookbook has gone through six printings (with Penguin USA and most recently with Random House under the title Firehouse Cooking: Food from North America's Bravest) and has been featured on QVC and Valu-Vision Cable. Adams, nicknamed "Island Dog" by fellow shipmates sailing the Caribbean, has proved that "you can go home again," and with great success.
Adams believes that communal dining is a treasured pastime, and that firefighters epitomize this spirit. With the table set, and the ever-present awareness that an alarm might sound, these brave men and women are still able to prepare hearty, down-to-earth, and often wonderful meals together. In Adams's words, "For all their hard work and courage, I wanted to honor them with a book from their contemporaries around the continent." Adams made it a labor of love to visit and write to firehouses throughout North America asking for their recipes. Having received hundreds from the US and Canada, he edited and compiled them into one volume. The cookbook went on to sell more than 200,000 copies in 57 countries, and it was featured in a segment on firehouse cooking on Good Morning America.

A rapid visit
Trip Start
Mar 29, 2006
Trip End
Feb 28, 2007
Off to Stein am Rhein with L and it was just as good the second time around as are most places one enjoys and revisits. You see things you missed the first time. We found an indoor museum and courtyard, obviously preserved as a monument to the past but we still have no idea of its significance. We had coffee on the waterfront and bought some chocolate in the Schoggibox...just loved that name. It just has to have been made up.
On to Schaffhausen or at least through it to see the Rheinfalls. We parked some way past the falls and had to walk along the towpath at the rivers edge. It was not the highest of falls but it was spectacular in that it was wild and it took over the whole of that stretch of the river. We sat in a caf� poised over the river in full view of the falls and watched as the tourist coaches disgorged their...mostly Japanese...visitors onto flat bottomed boats which maneuvered themselves up close to the falling white water unloading its cargo on to, and marooning them on, a huge rock lodged midstream. One of these days it is going to go. It was a great spot we were seated, it wasn't crowded and it was cheap food.
We drove into and around Schaffhausen to see if we could find the castle we had glimpsed on the way in. The girls kept their eyes peeled and directed me towards it as they spied it above. We ended up right outside this immense stone Martello looking tower and parked the car outside the entrance which I am sure was not permitted although we could see no obvious signs to the contrary. We walked across a drawbridge, under an arch, through the 5 metre thick walls into what seemed to be a cellar. It was magic. A huge vaulted ceiling about 30 metres across and empty. A huge, dark, empty cellar with an earthen floor and vertical slits for windows. Across the way was a tower with a circular, stone stairway leading to the roof up which we then walked. We emerged into the open air to find ourselves on a flat circular roof bordered by a low parapet with a 360� view of the town and river. The building was called the Munot...a defensive bastion built in the 16th century, There were some kids up there sketching the scene below and, of all things, preparations for a firework display. These huge crackers like cannon shells were being laid out across the roof ready for a display that night to celebrate the anniversary of a bookshop...unless I lost something in the translation! We stayed up there for some while and then walked back down the circular stairwell to the gardens outside which displayed some well tended roses.

It's Spring break which means not a lot of peace and quiet, which translates to not too much getting done.
I'm working on completing a couple of WIPs. Amanda decided that this would be finish it up week and I'm joining in, although some of my projects are rather big and may need the entire week to get done.
We've had rain, three inches of snow, hail, and a very scary thunderstorm around here this week (and it's only Tuesday!). It does look like Spring may be around the corner though.

Editorial — Safety must come first
The details of the horrible tragedy at a Langley mushroom farm on Sept. 5, 2008 finally emerged last week, as the owners of the farm were in court after pleading guilty to numerous health and safety charges.
Three workers died and two others suffered permanent brain damage. They were asked to go into a confined space to clear the blockage in a valve containing the chicken manure, straw and gypsum, which are used to make mushroom compost.
This came after the farm owners had called a plumber to the scene. He was unable to fix the blockage and asked them to call a sewer pumping service.
Instead, the job fell to the workers, As outlined in court, they were never given any information on working in confined spaces, nor was there any occupational health and safety training offered.
A mushroom farm, particularly one where composting takes place, has many hazards — far more than most workplaces. A variety of machinery is used on a daily basis. There are confined spaces. Some of the materials handled are, or can be, dangerous.
Many of the people who work on such farms, in Langley and elsewhere in the Fraser Valley,. are relatively new immigrants to Canada. They often get the jobs because they have limited job prospects and have some connections to the farm owners. They are also willing to work for low wages at jobs which involve hard physical labour.
It is absolutely essential that anyone who hires other people to work in a business offer basic occupational health and safety training. It is also important that when there are hazards, such as confined spaces, employees be fully familiar with the dangers involved. They need to know when they can say "no."
The B.C. Federation of Labour has taken a major interest in this case and deserves credit for highlighting the importance of emplopyers following basic safety practices.
Farm workers are just as valuable as any employee on any job site. This case points out the need to ensure they fully understand all the risks of any job they are asked to perform.

A little over a month ago, BikeBlog author Mike Green wasn't thinking clearly, falling for a scam that resulted in his track bike being stolen. He immediately posted information about his easily recognizable steed to his blog, getting the word out, even before filing an official police report. Well, amazingly, with the help of some fellow cyclists, he got his bike back and he wasn't even in the country. Basically, while away in Canada, a few of his buddies noticed a guy riding the bike awkwardly—like he didn't belong on a fixed—and followed him. After a few heated conversations, quickly formed bike posses, a little police help and $50, his bike was recovered. In a city that often doesn't yield back stolen goods, it's a pretty amazing story. Read the entire account over on Green' website that includes a bonafide chase scene and vehicle stopping heroics by Brad Baker of fixed gear boutique Trackstar. |BikeBlog|

Every recording artist thinks the next album is going to be a big one, or else why bother? But Karen Fairchild of Little Big Town thinks she has real evidence.
The country vocal quartet's next album, "Pain Killer," doesn't come out until Oct. 21. But the group is taking the rare step of performing six of the new songs in summer concerts such as Saturday's Coyote CountryFest at Orleans Arena.
One is the advance hit single "Day Drinking." But the other five?
"There's a lot of hooky stuff on this record. I love the fact that (fans) are trying to sing along and they don't know it yet," Fairchild says. "I don't know if they're watching YouTube videos or just letting the first chorus go by and then they've got it."
Little Big Town is one of those 15-year overnight success stories we might not see much of anymore. "You don't get a chance to develop anymore. You've got to come out swingin' with a hit or it's over," Fairchild says. "It might be true now that if you don't, you just kind of disappear."
But her group played Fremont Street as a National Finals Rodeo week attraction in 2002 — "forever ago," she says with a laugh — and even got a second chance after hitting the wall with its first record label.
The quartet made up of two offstage couples (Fairchild and Jimi Westbrook, Kimberly Schlapman and Phillip Sweet) stuck with their own songwriting and knack for trading lead vocals. Eventually, country radio caught up to their dense vocal sound with the likes of Lady Antebellum and The Band Perry.
After years of being an opening act, Little Big Town finally arrived at the top of the charts and concert billings with the platinum 2012 album "Tornado," and hit singles in the title track, "Pontoon" and "Your Side of the Bed."
"We had that goal in our minds the whole time," Fairchild says. "There is part of you, though, the wonder and the mystery of 'Will it happen?' You're chasing it, but oh gosh, is this the song? Or is this the year?
"We just kept believing that every year was going to be the year."
Finally, it was. Producer Jay Joyce, fresh off Eric Church's genre-bending "Chief," gave "Tornado" a thump and vitality that previous albums polished out.
Joyce came along at a time when "we wanted to mess up our hair a little bit, to get out there and try something new," Fairchild says. He again teamed with the group for "Pain Killer."
"Jay's a rocker, so that bigger, bolder sound is going to be in there if you work with him," she says.
The group's transition to country's A-list includes hosting Tuesday's ABC special "CMA Music Festival: Country's Night to Rock," collecting performances from Nashville's CMA Music Festival last June.
And the group finally gets to be on the NBC talent contest "The Voice" this fall, after years of ribbing friend Blake Shelton about "not being good enough" to serve as his advisers.
"I personally have given him a very hard time about it. What's wrong with us? You don't think we can do this?" Fairchild recalls with a laugh.
When Shelton's phone call came, it came with two questions:
"Are y'all ready? And is this going to shut Karen up?"

Rajkot/Ahmedabad: A record 68 percent voter turnout was registered in the first phase of the Gujarat Assembly elections on Thursday in the biggest electoral test for BJP stalwart and Chief Minister Narendra Modi who is seeking a third straight term. The fate of state's top political leaders including the the fledgling Gujarat Parivartan Party(GPP) president Keshubhai Patel, a former Chief Minister and Modi's bête noire, BJP's R C Faldu and Congress' Arjun Modhwadia were sealed in today's voting in 87 of the 182 Assembly constituencies. The voting held amid tight security was peaceful barring a couple of incidents of violence and a few complaints of technical glitches in Electronic Voting Machines(EVM). "Approximately 68 percent voting has taken place in the phase one of the state elections," Additional chief electoral officer Sanjiv Kumar said in Ahmedabad. The second phase will be held on December 17 while the counting of votes will be taken up on December 20. Today's polling covered 48 in seven districts of Saurashtra region, 35 seats in seven districts of south Gujarat and four seats in Ahmedabad district. A high voter turnout in Saurashtra and South Gujarat is being considered significant by the political observers. The Saurashtra region, which is home to the powerful Patel community, could pose a tough challenge to Modi with Keshubhai Patel, who quit the BJP to form GPP, leading the charge. Modi succeeded Patel in 2001 as Chief Minister before he led BJP to thumping victories in 2002 and 2007. Thursday's voter turnout is the highest in the elections held so far in Gujarat. The highest polling recorded earlier was 63.70 percent in 1967 elections. In 2007, the voter turnout was 59.77 percent. Even in 2002, when Gujarat was riding on the pro-BJP wave, 61.55 per cent voting was recorded. A total of 846 candidates are in the fray for the first phase. BJP has fielded candidates for all the 87 seats while Congress is contesting 84 and GPP for 83 seats. (Agencies) Latest News from India News Desk
A total of 48 seats in Surendranagar, Rajkot, Jamnagar, Porbandar, Jamnagar, Amreli and Bhavngar are considered crucial as political observers are keenly watching how the Keshubhai Patel factor plays out in the region.
People came out in large numbers since morning to cast their vote. Within three hours, the voter turnout was 18 percent and by 1 pm it was 38 per cent. The figure went up to 53 percent by 3 pm.
"Unprecedented rush in voting was witnessed across the four constituencies in Ahmedabad district, a stark difference from the previous assembly elections, when voting during the morning hours had remained generally dull," Chief district election officer Vijay Nehra said a few hours after polling commenced.
At Shree Sanskar Vidyalaya, a polling station on the Ahmedabad-Viramgam highway that falls under Sanand assembly seat, more than 50 voters above 80 years, cast their votes in the first hour itself.
One Bhailal Patel (64), who is bedridden for the past 12 years, cast his vote and said, "I wanted to cast my vote as I have never missed voting since I attained voting age."
He was brought to the polling station by son Kaushikbhai.
In Rajkot, during the fag-end of voting, police resorted to lathicharge to disperse supporters of Congress and BJP candidates who clashed with each other.
A minor fight erupted between the supporters of Kashyap Shukla, BJP candidate, and Indranil Rajyaguru of Congress near Rajkot Dairy on Bhavnagar Road, police said.
There were reports from some polling booths in Viramgam constituency, Sanand and Surat of malfunctioning of EVMs. Many people also complained of absence of their names from the electoral rolls.

Designers have a crush on colour & patter. This Summer, men will be able to let loose their inner peacock as the catwalks have been awash with colour, pattern and print. No longer does a man's wardrobe need to be just a sea of drab grey and navy – those sober (but useful) neutrals, can be made lively and interesting with the injection of bright green, cobalt and even pink
'Colour Bloc'
An easy trend to follow is called the 'colour-bloc' look which is borrowed directly from a currently popular womenswear trend. Simply team a bright jacket, sweater or shirt with an otherwise neutral outfit to make a foolproof fashion statement. Coloured jeans and trousers are also just arriving in the shops for the very brave!
'Tonal Colour'
Slightly more difficult is the 'tonal colour' look, where the outfit comprises several garments in different shades of the same colour – e.g. pale blue shorts, with a medium blue shirt and bright blue jacket. Combing three 'tones' is tricky, so maybe just stick to two with a safe neutral.
'Colour Pop'
Perhaps easiest of all is to opt for the 'colour-pop' look – just a small splash of colour on one or two areas of your outfit. With a suit, this could be your tie and pocket square; with a casual outfit, this could be a pair of coloured shoes – bright suede loafers or canvas lace-ups being most popular.
'Pattern Power'
If bright colours are not for you, add some individuality to your summer outfits, with interesting patterning on a shirt, shorts, jacket or trousers. The patterns for menswear this summer, tend to be in quite muted shades making this look a real alternative to the 'in-your-face-colour' trend. Be very careful if you try to combine patterns in one outfit – the safest option is to team your patterned piece with other garments in solid, neutral colours. Look for the new patterned shirts with matching pocket squares for an on-trend business look.
Show Us Some Leg
The 'Must-Have' garment of the season is, undoubtedly, tailored-shorts. Every menswear designer featured shorts in their collection – coloured, patterned, striped or checked. Forget cut-off jeans or the now passé cargo-shorts, these are shorts for a smart-casual look and are to be teamed with cotton/silk sweaters, linen blazers, suede loafers and even formal, lace-up brogues – socks optional.
'Must-Haves' for Summer 2012
- Tailored Shorts
- Coloured Jacket
- Patterned Shirt
- Pocket Square
- Coloured Shoes
- Summer Scarf
- Shoulder Bag
- Retro Sunglasses

Earlier this week, Outlandish News brought you the video in which a baby was thrown from a car in Russia. A new video from teh crash has surfaced, showing the crash as it happens from the viewpoint of the truck driver that narrowly missed running over the baby on a busy Russian highway.
We at Outlandish news have not figured out why every car in Russia has a camera on their dashboard but it does provide some good mind candy for people looking for viral videos.

Scott Stapp has turned up on my radar not once but twice this week, so against my better judgement, I will catch you up on the Creed lead vocalist.
A couple of days ago, while on the Fox and Friends, Stapp expressed his disappointment with Barack Obama's presidency, though he stopped short of endorsing Mitt Romney.
Okay, nothing much to that. But that wasn't the last we would hear from Stapp this week.
While talking to VH1's Big Morning Buzz Live he told a tale of a drug induced hallucination, culminating in a leap from a balcony at Miami's Delano Hotel.
Sad, but the music industry is chock full of near death experiences due to excess.
With a fractured skull and hip, Stapp says:
I laid out there for two and a half hours and my guardian angel showed up — rapper T.I. He immediately took care of the situation and saved my life."
They recognized each other thanks to Hollywood's favorite Catholic, Mel Gibson. Both had worked on The Passion of The Christ: Songs Inspired By soundtrack. During that brief interaction in 2004, Stapp and T.I. had bonded over a mutual admiration of The University of Alabama's Crimson Tide.
By saying the words Roll Tide (Alabama's motto/slogan/chant–look, I might be in the South but I'm not yet of it) T.I. recognized Stapp and one of the weirder stories I heard this week had a happy ending.
Scott Stapp's memoir Sinner's Creed is out now.
When T.I. is not in jail or saving folks from suicide attempts, he can be seen in Boss on the Starz channel.

PhD in Solar Physics
After leaving MSSL in December 1999, I took time to do some travelling (and followed the standard backpacker route of Australia and South East Asia). Then in October 2000 I moved to London and started a career as a Management Consultant with Accenture (called Andersen Consulting at the time). My career began with a 6 week training course in Milton Keynes and Chicago to introduce the basics of consulting. I found that the skills I learnt at MSSL, especially project management, problem solving, presenting, IT, and analysing ideas, came in particularly useful. On my return from initial training, I was assigned to the Accenture engagement at the London Stock Exchange. I have been consulting at the Stock Exchange throughout my career (not the normal path for a Management Consultant), but I have worked in many roles and on many projects. One of the more interesting projects I worked on was to devise and set up the 'insider-trading' rules and surveillance systems for the Stock Exchange's new Covered Warrants market in 2002. Another interesting project was to predict the size of the Stock Market between 2002 and 2007, and to predict any new initiatives or mergers that could impact this. In 2004 I was responsible for creating the market surveillance for the Stock Exchange's move to take over the Dutch market. As Head of Project Management in Accenture's outsourcing engagement at the London Stock Exchange I was responsible for simultaneously coordinating approximately 60 projects, dealing with the issues they throw up, and keeping track of their finances. It also involved liaising with the Stock Exchange's Senior Management to agree on new project initiatives and strategies for their technology. Recently I moved to work directly for the Stock Exchange. The job is always challenging, but it is always good fun too.

Hello there.
Anybody can help me with this?
Which sentence is correct? Or both are correct? If so, is there any difference?
(A) She's clipping her toenails, chatting on the cell phone.
(B) She's clipping her toenails, chat on the cell phone.
Thank you very much!
I disagree, and would say sentence (A) is perfectly correct. Contextually, toenails don't make phone calls, but even if they did, there is only one subject in the sentence, "She," and the complement "toenails" is introduced as an object to its verb.
"Riding my bicycle through the countryside last Sunday, a cow knocked me over."
Now there is a sentence like the one you were imagining, with an unclear subject-object relationship (cows can't ride bicycles, and what was that cow doing riding my bike through the countryside?)
Yes, context can clear up the discrepancies. But the position of a participial phrase in a sentence is grammatically important. We know that toenails don't use phones and we also know that cows don't ride bicycles. But placing a participial phrase in the wrong position is considered incorrect by many.

They took a 20-0 lead that looked as if it would be enough against one of the SEC's most anemic offenses. But the Gators rallied, taking advantage of a fumble, a safety and questionable play calls to almost win.

I can remember exactly where I was when Sebastian Coe won gold at the 1984 Olympic Games. It was a hotel lobby in the city of Trabzon in eastern Turkey, and I was transfixed by the television behind the reception desk. In distant Los Angeles, the slight figure of Coe was streaking away from the field, becoming the only man ever to win the 1,500m at successive Olympics.
Now, almost three decades later, I am sitting in a restaurant in Chelsea, waiting for Lord Coe, as he now is, to arrive for lunch. Most great athletes drop out of the public eye when their sporting careers come to an end. But Coe is once again a hero in Britain, after chairing the organising committee for the London Olympics. The games went far better than many Britons had dared hope – and Coe is basking in public approval. His memoirs are being published, just in time for the Christmas market.
He has chosen to meet at a small Italian restaurant, just a block from Chelsea football club. Coe, who was born a couple of miles away, is a devoted Chelsea supporter and season-ticket holder, who sits in the Shed End, among the diehard fans. As I wait, the proprietor of L'Antico, Franco D'Alessio, tells me proudly that Coe eats at his restaurant before every home game. Indeed, he is such a devotee that the previous weekend Coe had booked the whole restaurant for his son's 18th birthday party. This sounds like a very grand gesture – but L'Antico is a small and unpretentious auplace. The plastic menus contain all the Italian standards and the whitewashed walls are decorated with Chelsea memorabilia.
Slightly late, Coe bustles in. I have positioned myself at the back of the restaurant, since it is quiet. But Coe asks if we could sit at his favourite table, which is in the front room, near the other diners. Now aged 56, he looks remarkably unchanged from the athlete, who I watched winning the Olympics all those years ago. Casually dressed in brown cords and a pink shirt, under a cotton jumper, he remains slim and fit-looking with a full head of black hair.
As we settle down, I tell him that the story that I had most enjoyed in his book was about the evening in 1979 when Coe first broke a world record. He was running the 800m in Oslo. After the race, he had to go up to the deserted press box to find a phone and call the factory in Sheffield where his father and coach, Peter, worked as a manager. A secretary answered the phone and asked if there was a message to pass on. "Just tell him his son's broken the 800m world record," said Coe. "All right, love," came the reply.
I remark that the whole episode had made me feel nostalgic for a distant age – before the internet, Twitter and texting. But it seems as if Coe still inhabits that world. "I've never sent an email in my life," he says. "My kids laugh. I often hand the phone to them and say can you text this message to somebody. I don't even have a computer on my desk." Struggling to suppress my incredulity, I ask how he had managed to run the London Olympics. "Well, I'm being slightly disingenuous," he smiles. "I do have a team of people and I dictate things, and they do go out on email."
As I digest this news, Franco the proprietor arrives. "Penne arrabiata," he says to Coe. It is a statement, rather than a question. Coe nods his assent. Impressed by this, I say that I will have the same. Coe gives me a thumbs-up and says, "It's the best arrabiata, west of Naples." He orders a green salad, and a lemonade. Not to be a complete copycat, I order a Caprese salad and some sparkling water.
Since Coe has mentioned his children – he has two boys and two girls, by his first marriage – I ask whether they inherited his athletic ability? "They're all sporting. I've got hockey players and rugby players and riders and things like that, and they all love sport. But I don't sense they're quite as obsessive about it as I was." I ask whether it is hard to avoid putting pressure on them. He shakes his head emphatically. "No, I never do that ... I think that they're all good runners. I've no doubt about that. But I think they've probably figured out that, if they are going to make their mark, it will be a more comfortable experience for them, doing it in a sport where there would be no comparison."
Coe's relaxed attitude to his children contrasts markedly with his relationship with his own father: Peter Coe became Sebastian's coach – and devoted himself to bringing the best out of his son's prodigious talent. "He was an engineer, a good engineer," recalls Coe. "He built a leg press for me, so at the age of 14, 15, I was under a great big lump of Sheffield steel and two guiders, three or four nights a week. I'm sure my brothers and sisters and my mother thought we were both absolutely demented."
All this makes Peter Coe sound like something of a slave-driver. But one of his biggest contributions, his son insists, was actually to reduce the amount of training Sebastian did. In the 1970s, middle-distance runners were expected to do huge amounts of running in training to build up their endurance. Peter decided that this increased the risk of injury. His son would cover less distance in training, and would concentrate on building up his speed. The new approach worked. "In the space of a decade," Coe tells me, "he really did change the nature of middle-distance running ... He wrote what is now still considered to be the definitive book on the art and science of middle-distance running."
But when the time came for Coe to defend his Olympic title, in 1984, he broke with his father, deciding to train in the US, while his father stayed in Britain. Coe says it was one of the most difficult choices of life, but "I just needed to get away from speculation, questions about whether I was too old, too tired, too knackered." His first reaction when he won in 1984 was not pure joy. It was to turn to the press box in Los Angeles and roar, "Who says I'm finished now?"
It is a much more relaxed figure who is sitting across the table from me, working his way through a vast bowl of penne arrabiata, swiftly and methodically. Coe managed the transition from athletics relatively seamlessly. Unlike many athletes, he had a career plan – politics. Unusually for a student in the 1970s, he had joined the young Conservatives at Loughborough university. Once he had retired from athletics, he had little difficulty in finding a parliamentary seat. In 1992, he was elected as a Tory MP for Falmouth and Camborne. Suddenly, he was in a new environment: "I rather assumed that when I went out on the track most people wanted me to do well, rather than badly ... You suddenly go to an occupation where, on a good day, you've probably only got about 30 per cent of people that are prepared to give you the benefit of the doubt."
In 1997, however, Coe lost his parliamentary seat in the landslide that carried Tony Blair to Downing Street. But his political career was not over, and he was appointed as chief-of-staff to William Hague, the inexperienced new Tory leader. It was a pretty thankless task since Hague made little headway against Blair. When the Tories lost a general election in 2001 and Hague resigned, Coe found himself in demand again – this time from Blair himself, who asked him to head London's bid to host the 2012 Olympics.
Spearing a last piece of pasta, Coe recalls that "I was literally out of the door of the leader of the Conservative party's office and a year later briefing a Labour prime minister on international sports politics."
Coe's new job allowed him to regain his non-partisan status. But I notice that he has retained one political trait. He rarely speaks ill of anyone. So William Hague is described as "extraordinary fun, very grounded"; Tony Blair is "unbelievably good at what he did – one on one, really very very good". Coe even speaks warmly of Sepp Blatter, the head of Fifa, the governing body of world football, and who is a hate-figure in England after the country's unsuccessful bids to host the World Cup. "It's easy to caricature people but I know him [Blatter] and he's actually quite thoughtful. People talk about how he doesn't like England. But actually, like a lot of Swiss, he really does."
Coe continues: "If you look at it from his point of view, he's in charge of the international game and he looks at a club system [in England] that's never keen on releasing players for things [international fixtures]. And, I'm not saying anything that's remotely remarkable, he just doesn't really rate the people that run the game in this country ... Football, as a national sport, is still pretty dysfunctional."
One of the reasons for Britain's post-Olympic euphoria was that there had been widespread fears that the games would be a chaotic mess. The weeks before the opening ceremony had featured endless stories about ticketing snafus, security scares and transport nightmares. I ask Coe whether he had been surprised by the success of the games. "No," he replies, bluntly – and with a hint of exasperated aggression.
After a pause, he continues: "I just guess I knew more about what was going on ... This wasn't a case of 'it'll be alright on the night'. We spent three years crowd-modelling, working out the last mile, thinking about the spectator experience, working with Transport for London. That's why it worked."
. . .
Now "legacy" is the buzzword – and Coe has been put in charge of making sure London builds on the success of the games. "I think we've done things that can be taken forward," he says, "because I think when it comes to service London has, in places, fallen behind."
At the mention of service, as if on cue, a waiter arrives to ask if we would like a coffee. We both order double espressos.
Although lunch is winding down, Coe is warming to his theme: "We have an awful ability in this country to doubt our ability, often in the face of all credible and sensible evidence ... We should know that, as a nation, we're absolutely at the top when it comes to event management ... Most people overseas were not remotely surprised by what we did ... IOC members were saying: 'You guys are going to do a great job, look at the way you deliver Wimbledon, look at the way you do pageantry, cup finals, the Last Night of the Proms.' "
This is almost a political speech. And it strikes me that with his drive, name recognition, track record, clean-cut looks and political instincts, Coe would be touted as a senator or even a presidential candidate in the US. The British system works differently – and now that he is no longer in parliament, top politics looks closed to him.
Instead, he has a portfolio career in business, public speaking, consultancy and sport. He is in demand as a director and has just sold his consultancy firm and image rights to the marketing company Chime Communications in a complicated deal that is expected to net him an initial £1.5m, with the prospect of further millions over the next 15 years. He also seems bound for another intensely political world: the upper reaches of international sports administration. He is the only candidate to be the next head of the British Olympic Association and may eventually play a bigger role in the International Olympic Committee.
Still, Coe has firm views about his own country. He is worried that, having run themselves down excessively before the games, the British are now spending too much time patting themselves on the back. His reaction after winning an Olympic title in 1980 was to set out to win another one. To make his point, he rather scornfully recalls the open-top bus-ride that was awarded to the England cricket team, after they finally won an Ashes series against Australia in 2005. "The Australians wouldn't give their guys an open-top bus-ride around Melbourne after winning the Ashes. They'd go, 'Fuck that – we're going to win it again in two years' time.' "
The sudden profanity is a hint of the locker room toughness that lies behind Coe's smooth charm. But, of course, you do not get to be an Olympic champion without plenty of manic aggression and self-belief.
Still, to the general public, Coe remains an all-round nice guy. Twice, during our meal, other diners in the restaurant have come over to introduce themselves – both times, they naturally call him "Seb" – and Coe chats affably. As we finish our coffee, there is a last interruption. A woman approaches to say that Coe is needed outside to autograph the bonnet of a BMW for a charity auction. Coe may once have thrived on the lonely training regime of an Olympic champion, but these days he is public property. I settle the bill and, on the way out of the restaurant, notice the double Olympic gold medallist crouched over a gleaming car, marker pen in hand.

Lamb Ground, LeanSKU: LGround
Product Overview
Whether included in your favourite Sheperd's Pie recipe or added to spaghetti sauce to change things up, our grass-fed and finished ground lamb is a delicious choice for any meal.
Finding strictly grass-fed and finished lamb is almost impossible in our cold Alberta climate — most producers resort to weaning their lambs early and either finish them on grain themselves or sell them to a lamb feedlot. On TK Ranch our lambs stay on pasture with their mothers until late into the fall when they are finished. We use Columbia and Rambouillet ewes that are larger breeds of sheep that flock well together — this makes it much easier for our livestock guardian dogs to protect them while on pasture. Our dogs are bonded to our sheep as young pups and they stay with the flock day and night. They create a boundary around them that keeps predators out — which means we can work with nature instead of against it. This process gives our customers the unforgettable taste of grass-fed lamb the way it should be grown. Wild native grasses, clean water, fresh air and sunshine make TK Ranch grass-fed lamb a treat any day of the week.

Acting President of FAU Pushed Chick-fil-A Stadium Naming Deal, Former A.D. Says
"Can't anybody here play this game?" -- Baseball manager Casey Stengel, about the 1962 New York Mets, whose 120 losses are the most by any MLB team in one season in the 20th century.
See also: - Chick-fil-A Stadium: FAU Considered Homophobic Firm
Hapless Florida Atlantic University president Mary Jane Saunders resigned yesterday, and with their usual talent for due diligence and public relations savvy, the board of trustees filled the still-stinking seat with Dennis Crudele, who reportedly was go-between in the school's effort to sell naming rights to its football stadium to the notoriously homophobic fast-food chain Chick-fil-A.
Crudele is better known for supporting maximum tuition hikes last summer, at a time when governor Rick Scott opposed them. Crudele argued hikes were necessary because FAU faced cuts of $24.8 million in state funds and might have to close campuses in downtown Fort Lauderdale and Port St. Lucie. (The former is still open; the latter is not.)

Though the school was flogged for its decision (since scuttled) to name its stadium after global private prison operator and serial human rights abuser GEO Group, last month the Sunshine State News, a right-wing web pub spawned by GOP political operative Justin Sayfie, reported that Chick-fil-A was also courted as a stadium sponsor.
Reporting on the collapse of the GEO deal the digital rag included this snippet from former FAU Athletics Director Craig Angelos:
Angelos says he had a superior stadium-rights deal on the table, before the first football game was ever played, involving one of South Florida's largest car dealership chains. That arrangement could have put $1 million of annual advertising money and straight-up sponsor gifts into the program each year for six years. But, he says, the higher-ups in the school's chain of command wanted to hold off for a better deal with fast-food chain Chick-fil-A or, indeed, the GEO Group. After being put on hold, the automotive chain's interest cooled, and FAU ultimately landed GEO...
"Higher-ups in the school's chain of command"?
A couple of days later we saw Gawker had picked up the story, and noticed this exchange:
Lisa Metcalf, a spokeswoman for FAU, declined to say whether anyone at the university had ever discussed athletic sponsorship with Chick-fil-A. "Craig Angelos is no longer employed at FAU," she wrote in an email. "If he is stating these conversations took place, then you will need to speak with him." Angelos--who is now an AD at the University of South Florida--and Chick-fil-A did not respond to requests for comment in time for publication.
We took Metcalf's advice. We located Angelos at his new job. We sent him an email asking him to name names. And he did, saying it was Crudele, then senior vice president of financial affairs, who walked point on the Chick-fil-A deal.
We emailed Crudele repeatedly in April to ask about his involvement in discussions with Chick-fil-A. He never replied. Neither did he respond to several phone calls we made to his office. We expect that, newly exalted, he may finally feel the need to respond.

Four relatives, 1 woman and 3 of her grandchildren, were killed on a North Dakota Indian reservation after they were gunned down in their home Sunday afternoon in an apparent homicide-suicide case.
The killings took place on the Indian reservation in North Dakota known as New Town, and on Monday, FBI investigators were searching a home of a man who committed suicide hours after the shootings in a nearby community of Parshall, who was also considered a "person of interest."
The four victims were, 64-year-old grandmother, Martha Johnson and three of her grandchildren, Benjamin Schuster, 13, Julia Schuster, 10 and Luke Schuster, 6.
Police were alerted of the shootings by a fourth grandchild, and 12-year-old brother of the other children, who was in the home at the time of the shooting but was unharmed.
According to Mountrail County Sheriff Ken Halvorson, the grandfather and husband of Martha Johnson, was out hunting during the killings. Halverson also said that the 20-year-old man considered a "person of interest" killed himself with a knife in front of two officers.
Authorities declined to identify the "person of interest," but did say he was an enrolled tribal member. Neither Johnson nor her grandchildren were members, Halvorson said.
Declining to release any further information on the ongoing investigation, FBI spokesman Kyle Loven said that the FBI had taken control of the investigation because the federal government has jurisdiction over Indian reservations.
One neighbor, Megan Hale, who lived across the street from the Johnson's, said that she believes the children had just recently moved into the home, and the mother was never seen.
"She was a nice lady. She was always out in the yard working," Hale said of the slaying of the grandmother. "It's very sad. It's unreal."

Violet Markham
Violet Rosa Markham | |
Charles Paxton Markham and his sister Violet Markham (1903)[1]
Born | 1872 |
Died | 1959 |
Spouse(s) | Lieutenant-Colonel James Carruthers |
Violet Rosa Markham CH (October 1872 – 2 February 1959) was a writer, social reformer and administrator. She grew up near Chesterfield, the daughter of Charles Markham, part owner of the profitable Markham Collieries and Markham & Co.[2] Engineering of Chesterfield. When a friend of her late father died in 1901 Violet inherited enough money to live an independent life and devote her wealth to causes she supported, as well as to buy her own house in London. Her mother was a daughter of Sir Joseph Paxton, designer of the Crystal Palace, the centrepiece of the 1851 Great Exhibition.
Her first interest was education. She was a member of the Chesterfield Education Authority from 1899 to 1934, and in 1902, she was the founder President of the Chesterfield Settlement, an educational foundation for the local community which existed until 1958. Later she became involved in public service in different sectors. At the outbreak of World War I, she became a member of the Executive Committee of the National Relief Fund, established to alleviate distress caused by the war. The fund dispensed aid to service families and dependents, as well as civilians. The experience of this organisation left her with a lifelong interest in reducing the effects of poverty and unemployment, especially with regard to women. In 1914 she became a member and later chairman of the Central Committee of Women's Training and Employment, which in 25 years trained nearly 100,000 women, mainly for domestic service. In 1917 she was made deputy director of the women's section of the National Service Department, and was one of the first recipients of the Companionship of Honour. In 1920 she began a long period as a member of the Industrial Court, and became a member of the Lord Chancellor's Advisory Committee for Women Justices.
Violet Markham was also active politically. Mary Stocks considered Markham to be "the best feminist I've ever known, a real feminist".[3] Having been a vocal opponent of women's suffrage and a strong supporter of Women's National Anti-Suffrage League, she stood as an Independent Liberal for the Mansfield Division of Nottinghamshire in the 1918 general election. (The Coalition Government endorsement went to Jarrett);
Party | Candidate | Votes | % | ± | |
Labour | William Carter | 8,957 | 43.6 | ||
National Democratic | George William Symonds Jarrett | 6,678 | 32.6 | ||
Liberal | Mrs Violet Rosa Carruthers | 4,000 | 19.5 | ||
Independent | Dr Nowroji M Tarachand | 878 | 4.3 | ||
Majority | 2,279 | 11.0 | |||
Turnout | 52.5 | ||||
Labour gain from Liberal | Swing |
She was elected as a town councillor for Chesterfield in 1924, and served as Mayor of Chesterfield in 1927.[2]
In 1934, she became a member of the Unemployment Assistance Board, becoming Deputy chairman in 1937 – 'probably the most important administrative post up to that time that had been held by a woman,' according to her obituary in The Times.[5] When the Second World War began, it was inevitable that her talents would be called on. She organised an all-night canteen for the poor of South London. She was on the appeal tribunal of the Defence of the Realm Regulations, and in 1942, she was asked to produce a report on allegations of immorality in the women's services. In 1945 she produced a report with Florence Hancock on the postwar organisation of domestic service.
She also travelled extensively abroad. Among her friends was the Canadian politician Mackenzie King, whom she met in 1905 and with whom she kept up an active correspondence for 45 years. King visited her when he was in England and she visited him on her occasional trips to Canada. She sent him money on a number of occasions, notably after his electoral defeat in 1911, and again to provide medical treatment for his brother who was suffering from tuberculosis. In 1923, the Canadian government appointed her to represent them on the governing body of the International Labour Organisation in Geneva.
In 1915, Violet Markham married Lieutenant-Colonel James Carruthers, but she continued to be known by her maiden name. She accompanied her husband to Cologne, when he was stationed there as chief demobilisation officer for the British Army of the Rhine, following the First World War. Her husband was subsequently a racehorse owner, who died suddenly at Ayr Racecourse in 1936. She wrote several books, including Paxton and the Batchelor Duke, a biography of her grandfather (1935), Return Passage (1953) and Friendship's Harvest (1956).

You're never far from the finest restaurants in Brisbane, however if it's just a quiet latté you're after you won't need to venture far from Mantra on the Quay to discover wonderful cafés and intriguing eateries. Wander down to the Riverside Centre or Eagle Street Pier Dining Precinct for a great array of bars, restaurants and al frescoes. The excitement and liveliness of Fortitude Valley is close-by, offering a choice of dining from various ethnicities to mouth-watering modern Australian cuisine.

text: Yes, you read right. The image you see above is of the Aston Martin Cygnet concept, the brand's low emissions city car that's sure to cause a bit of a scene within the most loyal of Aston Martin enthusiasts. Based on the Toyota IQ, the car has all the panache of its supercar brethren with signature Aston design details and a carefully crafted interior. Love it or hate it, it does look like a whole hell of a lot of fun to drive. Link

Condition | Intervention |
Esophageal Cancer Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease Esophageal Diseases Hiatal Hernia Esophageal Achalasia |
Procedure: Survey of client health, personal habits, family history Procedure: Blood specimen for non-DNA and DNA parts Procedure: Biopsy of esophageal/stomach tissue, lymph nodes, tumor Procedure: Biopsies from routine clinical surveillance endoscopies |
Study Type: | Observational |
Study Design: | Time Perspective: Prospective |
Official Title: | Esophageal Cancer Risk Registry |
Estimated Enrollment: | 4500 |
Study Start Date: | June 1999 |
Estimated Study Completion Date: | December 2050 |
Estimated Primary Completion Date: | December 2050 (Final data collection date for primary outcome measure) |
Procedure: Survey of client health, personal habits, family history
We will enroll patients with esophageal cancer, patients who are at risk for developing esophageal cancer, and patients who have a non-cancerous esophageal disorder. All patients will be asked to fill out a questionnaire about their general health and personal habits, and about their relatives' medical history; this will be done during the preoperative clinic visit. Prior to the surgical procedure a sample of blood (about 3 tablespoons) will be drawn for research.
For patients undergoing an endoscopy after the normal biopsies are taken, several small samples will be taken from the esophagus and stomach. These should total no more than eight samples.
For patients undergoing an anti-reflux procedure with or without a Collis gastroplasty a lymph node is normally removed. We will receive a small piece of that lymph node after the pathologist has done the routine pathological evaluation of that node.
If the collis procedure is done, a new esophagus is formed and a small piece of stomach tissue is discarded. We will study the ordinarily discarded tissue for the transformation of cells from a normal to an abnormal state. The lymph node and stomach tissue will be collected only once for the study.
For patients undergoing an esophagectomy (removal of the esophagus) or a staging procedure (performed to determine size, exact location, and spread of tumor to nearby areas) prior to an esophagectomy small pieces of tissue will be collected (from tumor, adjacent normal esophageal lining, parts of lymph nodes, and any other tissues removed as a part of the normal procedure) from your esophagectomy or staging specimens. This tissue will be collected only once for the study. The samples collected will be analyzed for genetic changes in the DNA and the RNA. The samples will be stored in a locked laboratory at the Hillman Cancer Center Research Pavilion indefinitely or until the samples are depleted.
You may be contacted in the future to learn the results of any cancer screening tests you had undergone and whether anyone else in your family had developed cancer. This information will be entered in a computer data base for future study.
We may continue to collect additional biopsies during your routine clinical surveillance endoscopies for up to one year after your enrollment. Again biopsies for normal patient management will be obtained first.

For Sale:
Westone UM2 - Like New - $200 or best offer.
Will Ship To: Anywhere
For Sale:
1 pair of Westone UM2 - In-Ear-Monitors.
Will work with ipods or mp3 players as well as iphones and android smart phones as long as they use a standard 3.5mm headphone jack.
In ear monitors rest inside the ear canal and as a result block out external noise, much more than over-the-head style headphones, earbuds or even noise cancellation headphones.
There is nothing else like the isolation from IEMs, especially for your daily transit commute. You'll block out that loud person on their cellphone, the obnoxious conversations and the squeal of the train or bus brakes.
I would never be able to live without these for my daily commute.
1 pair of Westone UM2 In-Ear-Monitors (color: clear)
1 original box and manual
1 original case
1 pair etymotic silicone tri-flange tips.
These are like-new.
I had sent them off to Westone for a re-cabling, but it seems like they have sent me back a brand new pair.
These photos aren't mine, as my cellphone camera sucks. Just thought I'd put them up to help give you and idea.

Luis Mendoza (0-2) gave up five runs, three earned, and five hits in six innings for the Royals.
