Christmas gets more interesting when sailing master Ben Muir takes lodgings with Mandy Mathison! Because when her scandalous past is revealed, only he can save her future...
I love Carla Kelly's stories. It's great to read about the "real" people once in awhile, and hers are always so well done. In this one, Ben Muir, sailing master, has arrived in Venable to tutor a midshipman from his ship. The young man is the son of a nobleman, spoiled and lazy, and Ben is not looking forward to it at all. Things get a little brighter for him when he enters Mandy's Tearoom for a meal and an inquiry about lodging. Mandy and her Aunt Sal offer him a room in their home, and he's floored by Mandy's sweet and kind nature.
Mandy is sweet and charming and quite lovely, especially to Ben's lonely eyes. She's fascinated by his stories, and quite taken by his gentlemanly ways. Ben finds himself more interested in spending his free time with her than in the peaceful pursuits he'd had planned. I loved how she looked after him and worried about him.
I loved seeing the two of them grow closer, quite obviously falling in love. But Ben is certain that Mandy would not care to be married to a man who is gone so much and always in danger. Then Ben learns something that could change Mandy's life. What happens next is heartbreaking and heartwarming. The actions of the local lord are cruel, and I loved seeing Mandy stand up to him. I felt badly for Ben, who feels responsible for it all. He's afraid to declare his feelings for Mandy, and instead leaves to visit his father in Scotland. The consequences of Mandy's defiance come home to roost, and their future looks bleak indeed. I liked the solution the vicar came up with. Meanwhile, Ben's visit home isn't what he expected, with an unexpected twist that sends him rushing back to Venable. I loved what happened when he arrived, as he found his courage, with a little bit of a boost from Mandy herself. I'd love a glimpse of their future, a few years down the road.
THE VISCOUNT'S CHRISTMAS KISS by Georgie Lee
Lily Rutherford is shocked to learn the man who snubbed her years before will be staying for Christmas. Can she forgive the viscount in time for a stolen kiss under the mistletoe?
Good story of second chances. Four years earlier, Lily and Gregor had met at a London ball. They were both young and somewhat unsure of themselves. Gregor, as the second son, was due to leave for military service. He also suffers from being the unwanted son, his older brother being the heir and chosen one. Desperate for his father's approval, Gregor treats Lily badly after an unfortunate occurrence at the ball. Taking their cue from him, other people followed suit, making Lily's life miserable. Hurt, angry and ashamed, Lily returned to their country home and hasn't been back to London since then.
Now Gregor, a good friend of Lily's brother, has been invited to spend Christmas with the Rutherford family. Since that ball, Gregor has experienced the horrors of war, been injured, and lost both his father and older brother. He has never forgotten Lily, nor been able to stop feeling guilty over the way he treated her. All he can do is hope that she will allow him to apologize. Lily is horrified to find out that Gregor will be with them for the holidays. She's quite certain he hasn't changed, and is sure that he will look down on their family even more.
Their initial meeting doesn't go that well, as the typical household chaos once again puts Lily at a disadvantage. She's surprised by Gregor's more relaxed attitude, but doesn't really trust him. I was a bit irritated with her, as I thought she was a bit hypocritical. She is so sure that Gregor will look down on her family, but her attitude toward them is terrible. I thought she spent too much time on the things she didn't like about them, totally ignoring the fact that there is a great deal of love in the midst of the chaos. I really liked Gregor's determination to apologize. He also realized that he is just as intrigued by her now as he had been previously.
I liked the development of their relationship. Gregor realizes that he wants to keep Lily in his life, but isn't sure that she will ever be able to see him as the man he is now. I liked seeing the way that he was able to tell her about his experience in the war and how it has changed him. I had high hopes that she was going to be able to let go of her grudge and open her heart to him. But an overheard conversation between her older sisters sends her back to believing the worst of him. She says some unkind things to him because of it. I liked seeing him stand up for himself, and point out a few of her own issues. I felt bad for him, as he now believes that there is no chance for a future between them.
I loved seeing her crazy aunt show Lily that she'd been wrong. Now Lily must decide if she has the courage to make her own apologies and go after what she really wants. I loved her big moment at the Christmas ball, and seeing how history tried to repeat itself, but with a very different result.
WALLFLOWER, WIDOW...WIFE! by Ann Lethbridge
Penniless widow Cassandra Norton faces Christmas on the run with her two stepdaughters, until Adam Royston sweeps her off her feet and into his country estate!
Good story about two people whose past experiences with marriage have left them with no desire to try it again. Cassie is a young woman who, for the time, is rather tall. This makes it difficult to find a husband and she ends up as the third wife to an old man. He married her for her connections and when things didn't go the way he wanted, he treated her badly. The only bright spot was her two young stepdaughters. When her husband died, her nasty stepson made her life miserable, until she took the two girls and left, making a new life far away.
Adam married young and loved his wife. But both were rather immature, which led to some bad decisions on both their parts. Adam's wife and unborn child were killed in an accident for which he blames himself. Now he spends his time as estate manager for his father and doing what he can to avoid being trapped into another marriage. He is currently assessing the property for sale.
In a meeting engineered by Cassie's stepdaughters, Adam is surprised by his immediate attraction to Cassie. Ever cautious about the intentions of unmarried women, he deliberately misleads her about who he is. Though he knows he should keep his distance, he finds both Cassie and her girls irresistible, and joins them on their hunt for greenery. Cassie is disturbed by the way Adam makes her feel. It's nothing like she's experienced before.
I liked seeing their relationship develop. Adam has held himself apart for so long, allowing the guilt he feels to stop him from moving on. Suddenly, Cassie and her girls have him thinking of everything he has missed. Part of him wants to keep her close, but another believes that he doesn't deserve it. I really liked seeing him lose himself in the enjoyment of just being with them. Cassie is just as attracted to Adam, but with her secret hanging over her, knows there is no chance of anything coming of it.
There's trouble when Cassie's stepson appears, trying to get them to come home. Cassie is suspicious of his motives. Her refusal causes him to make threats that mean if she wants to keep the girls safe, they are going to have to run again. His threats turn to actions that put them in danger, though luckily Adam is there to rescue them. I loved his need to care for them. The danger of what happened brings out the passion in both, and I loved seeing them finally give in to the heat between them. It wasn't all just physical, as Adam learns the truth of what had happened. When Herbert appears again, Adam is shocked to learn of Cassie's identity, but not nearly as stunned as Cassie when she finds out his. But best of all was seeing Adam deal with Herbert, then take his courage in hand and go after his future. The last chapter was a lovely wrapup.


text: Hez 505 Report post Posted September 7, 2016 This may sound weird - but how do you hold your pole? While fishing this weekend - I was fishing a t-rigged worm, mid morning...dragging it along the bottom, when I got a hit....I reeled down and set the hook...and almost lost my fishing pole and all....due to the way I was gripping it. My hand was placed under the reel, holding both the rod and the reel in my left hand (as I always do). However, this time - my hands were a little wet...and when I set the hook...my grip slipped and I almost dropped the pole. Of course, it effected my hookset...and the fish got off after a good fight...it was definitely a good fish. I reeled my line back in and realized the fish had bent my hook. I later came to the conclusion that this fish was probably a bowfin, because my son caught one not 2 casts later in the same spot - and based on their aggression, I believe one of those bent the hook. But...back to the topic at hand - what do you think is the best way to grip your setup? Do you just base it on comfort? Has anyone encountered this scenario?

How the Gold Market was Crashed• Bill Downey - www.goldtrends.net
The FOMC minutes from the last meeting were due for release during last week. But a funny thing happened. They got released EARLIER than expected. It was all a big mistake and the FED let the SEC and the CFTC know right away that the error had occurred. And lo and behold, despite the FED's transparency and newly crafted reputation for delivering timely and accurate reports, there happened to be some language we didn't get updated on until the FOMC minutes were released. The notes say that several members have been discussing cutting back on the stimulus. That was strike one. It got the gold market thinking that stimulus cuts might be coming.
Strike one called by the umpire.
Surprise number two appears.
A bombshell was released from news sources. It was reported that Cyprus would have to sell 400 million Euro's of gold as part of the bailout package of raising money for their failed banking system. Gold prices came down to 1550 on the news and the day passed by. Even though Cyprus bankers tell us the next day that they didn't discuss selling any gold, market jitters remained with Friday just around the corner.
This was strike two.
Now we need a strike three and you're out.
Gold is a nervous market to begin with as a lot of people have already lost a lot of money in the last six months. With Gold at 1550, all that is needed for the market to drop is to get one more push where all the stops are. This price level was just below the 2 year low of 1525.
With the setup in place the final pitch was ready to be delivered.

The new year is upon us, which means there will soon be many people making the popular new year's resolution to get in shape. While making the resolution to lose weight is easy to do, actually finding the time to get out and make it happen can be the difficult part. However, Eric Turner of JET Physical Therapy says gyms typically make it easier for people to get started. He says, "Usually after the first of the year, there's often discounts with gym memberships and such. It's just a good time, if someone hasn't been, to start their physical fitness and maybe put an emphasis on that for 2017." People in the Washington area have many choices for gyms to attend.

Effect of joint liability lending models on loan repayments among microfinance institutions in Kenya
Milgo, Mercy C
MetadataShow full item record
The objective of this study was to establish the effect of joint liability (group) lending model effect on loan repayment rates among microfinance institutions in Kenya. Microfinance program is an effort to reduce poverty and improve life quality for the poor and low income individuals. This program enables borrowers who do not have any physical collateral but still can borrow small loans to realize their business ideas. However, despite many positive achievements, microfinance still faces the challenge regarding default risks. The objectives were: to establish the causes of default in group lending; to establish how screening and monitoring affects repayments rates; and to establish how enforcement mechanisms affect repayment rates among micro finance institutions in Kenya. The analytical techniques used were descriptive statistics in form of percentages, inferential statistics, Pearson correlation, ANOVA and multiple regression models. The study found out that joint liability has a strong positive effect on loan repayment because of social cohesion and better information flow. Joint liability lending mechanisms were effective in ensuring timely repayments of funds, instilling supervision and administration traits among the group members. The study concluded that the group mechanisms should be upheld as they ensure increased probability of repayment rates and leads to creation of customer loyalty. The findings further indicated the positive impact of business training on repayment rate as the MFIs, which offers business training to its clients, has had higher repayment rate and less default than the with no training. In addition, the loan issued is secured by the cosignature of members within the group and not by the microfinance institution. Each member will put pressure on the others in the group to meet the loan repayment schedule. Thus, group sanction is reducing defaults among members in microfinance as all members of a group are jointly liable for default.

Apple has just updated its website and now it announces that they plan to release another Mac OS-X named "Lion". A sneak peak to the features, some of the features are not really "wow" me and even seems too-old to be a breakthrough. For example, "LauchPad". Windows xx has had it for long time as "Desktop icons". Another one is "Mission Control" which the similar feature has been in Windows 7 for awhile.
Unfortunately, Apple has not revealed all the features they plan to put in OS-X. Not sure if the upgrade worth the cost of upgrade (well, if it is only $25 upgrade I'll just go ahead and upgrade mine).

The more days past by, the more I missed my Indonesia trip than ever. I miss the going out for dinners on weeknights in hip and cool restaurants with my cousin after hours. I miss ordering desserts randomly, just because. I miss having a driver driving me around the city. LOL!
Blue Grass Bar & Grill is one of the restaurant we went when I was there. Along with the crazy traffic and parking that night, we finally made it there at 9 pm (We were shooting for 7 pm really HA!). But it's all good, we came and got seated outside by the patio area.
It was rather refreshing to not feel hot outside given Jakarta's weather-like. It was indeed a nice breezy warm night. I really like this place.
We ordered two main course dishes and ended up with a rainbow cake for dessert.

What a difference 1,300 miles (and 20 years) can make!
In another thread, I told everyone that Chicago, Illinois is, hands down, the #1 worst dating scene in the Western Hemisphere. Well, I am visiting Chicago from Florida, and it's like I don't even know the neighborhood I grew up in anymore. I checked out a place called Junior's Sports Bar in Chicago's west suburb of Berwyn the other night. Not surprisingly of course, not a single one of the other customers even bothered to say "Hi" to me at all. And there is no hugging the bartenders or waitresses at all in the State of Illinois. Totally unlike in Florida where bartenders and waitresses hug their customers all the time. I can literally feel just how absolutely toxic, paranoid, and defensive Berwyn has become. Since my graduation from Morton West High School, the entire population of Berwyn has completely turned over, literally like the fictional ocean liner Poseidon when it was struck by a rogue wave. I have even ridden through several areas of Berwyn, and have seen nobody playing outside in any front or back yards at all. I have not even visited the Berwyn rec center or Pavek Pool in many years, that severely has Berwyn's once friendly social atmosphere collapsed as the friendly Europeans moved out and fake and superficial people moved in. I also noticed that the "whites" in Berwyn today appear to be plain straight American.

My dear, it might just be you, or it may be the places you're going.
I was just in Chicago in May, and while I don't frequent bars at all, I did get to catch up with some friends and even met some new people.
Best of luck

Re: What a difference 1,300 miles (and 20 years) can make!
I'm guessing that some of the Polish enclave in Chicago -- the city with the second largest Polish population after Warsaw -- is still distinctive enough from the mainstream culture to have some vibrancy and sense of community remaining. Or no? In any case, full assimilation, and the end of community, is on the near horizon.
Re: What a difference 1,300 miles (and 20 years) can make!
Well you know what they say, "all it takes for evil to win is for good men to do nothing"
The culture changed gradually but American men were probably too busy beating their chests and lying about how much p***y they were getting to admit there was a problem
Re: What a difference 1,300 miles (and 20 years) can make!
You're right...but I didn't visit the Polish enclave.
I was in the same area that traveller was, except I don't frequent bars.
Re: What a difference 1,300 miles (and 20 years) can make!
I know what it is. You made new friends with the new people that moved into Berwyn. Miss Growup, nobody, I repeat, nobody from my high school time period lives in Berwyn, Stickney, or Forest View anymore. They have all moved away after high school. Many have moved to the satellite communities (Yorkville, Channahon, Rockford, Oregon, Freeport, Utica, etc). Some have moved out of state, some have moved to Chicago proper (and right into Chicago's enormous 'hood,' including River North which is immensely far worse in terms of violent crime than the Garfield Park area), and a few have even moved out of the country. And as far as I know it, their entire families have also moved far away, and that is the reason for the vast majority of them moving away.
Re: What a difference 1,300 miles (and 20 years) can make!
It also is really sad how Illinoisans can literally forget everyone they met and become total strangers again. The other day on my way to Junior's, I ran into someone who ran a church group I used to be a part of, and she did not remember me at all.
The difference in community is also a huge letdown, too. There is practically nothing to do in Chicagoland! I used to only hang out at shopping malls, forest preserves, department stores, and occasionally the Garfield Park Conservatory when I had respite care. The suburbs (Brookfield, LaGrange, Countryside, Glen Ellyn, Downers Grove, and such) is all one huge business-only zone, and it is no surprise that Illinoisans live only to work and that's it. In Illinois it appears, nobody ever steps outdoors at all except for on the way to and from school and work. East of California Avenue in Chicago proper is one huge endless war zone and a culture of guns, death, violence, and illegal drugs. South of 127th Street is another endless war zone that covers the entire south suburbs area east of Illinois Route 50/Cicero Avenue all the way south to Steger and Governor State University and eastward non-stop through Gary, Indiana. Even Downtown Chicago is a horribly violent, extremely bad neighborhood, far too dangerous to even drive through in broad daylight.
Re: What a difference 1,300 miles (and 20 years) can make!
my dear, you're not that much older than I am...and a good majority of the people I attended grade school and high school with still live in Berwyn/Cicero/Stickney.
All of those shopping malls and forest preserves are still there...I visited them when I went home to see my parents.
I even drove through Gary, Indiana without being shot.
It's really not that bad. I'm sorry that you have bad experiences, but posting things that aren't true isn't going to get you anywhere.

If you read this blog with any regularity, you already know that flares are uber-hot right now, replacing skinny jeans as the pants trend of the moment.
What pushes this trend over the top is the fact that stars like Rachel Zoe, Kate Hudson and others only wear them if they are skimming the sidewalk.
Stylish? Very.
Practical? Not so much.
Would you wear a pair of ground-dragging flares?
I have some, and I'll tell you what I think of them after the jump!
I love my flares -- They are Rock & Republic dark wash jeans and I got them for a song on Last Call during one of their big additional-40%-off sales.
But when they arrived, I realized I needed to have them altered- They are exactly the same length as Rachel Zoe's in the above photo.
The problem with that plan was that I am lazy. And so, rather than altering them, I've been wearing them with my highest platform boots -- Even then, they still skim the ground. Now, it turns out that I'm actually wearing them the fashionable way! SCORE.
However, I think this is a trend that will only really catch on among millionaires. It just doesn't seem practical to buy an expensive pair of jeans and then proceed to ruin the hems by letting them drag along the ground. Plus, I was out in my flares on a rainy day a couple of weeks ago, and they got very wet and uncomfortable. Then there's the fact that I noticed a lot of people looking at my floor-skimming flares and chuckling to themselves. Is it worth being fashionable when most people just think I'm silly? I think NOT.
Finally, I would NEVER carry a child while wearing my flares -- all that extra fabric makes tripping so much more likely.
I'll probably end up altering my flares to end an inch or so above the ground, eventually. In the meantime, just call me Lindsay Zoe.
What do you think of these ground-skimming flares? Would you wear them?

Ever wonder what's swimming below the surface in a beautiful, salt-water bay? Delaware Seashore State Park invites you to participate in a hands-on program using seining nets to discover the near-shore marine life that inhabits Rehoboth Bay.
Park naturalists will conduct seining programs every Tuesday, Thursday and Friday starting June 23rd at 1:30 pm and continuing through the months of July and August. Especially popular with young people, seining provides an opportunity to identify various fish, crabs, snails and other critters that call the Rehoboth Bay home, and talk about what they eat and how they survive. Participants will help pull a 20 to 30-foot net through calm, shallow water and carefully place the catch into tubs for a close-up study.
Closed-toe shoes are required for all who will enter the water and sunscreen is encouraged for everyone. The program fee is $4 per person and pre-registration is required. Delaware Seashore State Park encompasses the beaches, bay and marshes from Dewey Beach extending south to Bethany Beach. Please call the Indian River Life-Saving Station at 302-227-6991 to register or for more information on this or other Delaware Seashore State Park programs.

BackgroundThe objective of this article is to describe the organisation of an international, clinical registry, the Chronic Kidney Disease Observational Database CKDOD, the processes of enrolling patients and entering data and preliminary results to date.
DesignThe Chronic Kidney Disease Observational Database CKDOD is designed to assess the association between different factors with a known influence on chronic kidney disease CKD progression as well as treatment strategies such as dietary modifications, blood pressure control and pharmacological interventions in Asian countries India, China, Malaysia and Thailand. The only inclusion criterion is the presence of CKD stage 2 or higher as defined by the KDIGO guidelines. Demographic and clinical information are collected by a standardised electronic questionnaire, available in English and Chinese. The data are transferred to the CKDOD database either by e-mail or via web access. All data are checked for consistency and missing values.
Collection of data started in September 2011 and by April 2015, data on 1323 individual patients had been submitted. The mean age at inclusion was 57 ± 14 years, 67 % were male and 36 % were diabetic. The baseline estimated glomerular filtration rate was 26 ml-min-1.73 m. Of all enrolled patients, 324 24 % received ketoanalogue supplementation during at least one recorded visit.
DiscussionThe CKDOD is a very large and comprehensive data repository, currently focused in subjects recruited from Asia. The database is expected to provide important long-term information on CKD progression, nutritional and metabolic derangements that accompany CKD progression and treatment strategies to ameliorate progression and complications of CKD.

Colombian held for plotting to kill Venezuelan president
Bogota – A Colombian has been arrested for a murder attempt on Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro, police said.
"Convincing evidence made it possible to look into several accused crimes (conspiracy to commi! t crime, illegal possession of weapons)," Xinhua quoted a police statement as saying Friday.
It added that the Colombian police shared and verified information with police of other nations that also want the suspect "for crimes of high complexity".
Alejandro Caicedo, 21, has a criminal record that includes drug trafficking activities, murder and conspiracy, and he also has "situations to clarify before different judges in Ecuador, Venezuela, Bolivia, and Colombia", the statement said.
Caicedo and two other suspects came to Venezuela in August to commit criminal acts such as robbery and murder-for-hire, reported Latin American Herald Tribune.
The two other suspects identified as Victor Gueche, 18, and Erik Huertas, 22, were caught Aug 15 in Venezuela and were charged with murder attempt on Maduro.

More propaganda dressed up as science
"Nicotine in third-hand smoke, the residue from tobacco smoke that clings to virtually all surfaces long after a cigarette has been extinguished, reacts with the common indoor air pollutant nitrous acid to produce dangerous carcinogens" says a new study.
The BBC is reporting that researchers at the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, a US Department of Energy laboratory in Berkeley, California, ran lab tests (my emphasis) and found "substantial levels" of toxins on smoke-exposed material.
Even though the threat, if any, to non-smokers including children is unclear (ie minimal), opponents of smoking have been predictably quick to call for the need to "protect children" and make "homes and cars smokefree".
Amanda Sandford of Action on Smoking and Health said: "The harmful effects of second-hand smoke are already well-established but this study adds a new dimension to the dangers associated with smoking and provides further evidence of the need to protect children, in particular, from exposure to tobacco smoke.
Ed Young of Cancer Research UK said: "This is an interesting piece of research that adds the possibility of an extra level of harm from tobacco smoke ... The most important step parents can take to protect their families from the dangers of cigarette smoke is to make their homes and cars smokefree."
To be fair, the BBC adds that:
Simon Clark, director of the smokers' lobby group Forest, remained sceptical. He said: "The dose makes the poison and there is no evidence that exposure to such minute levels is harmful. That doesn't seem to matter, though. The aim, it seems, is to generate alarm in the hope that people will be stopped from smoking or will give up.
"The real danger is not third-hand smoke but propaganda dressed up as science. Until the evidence of harm is irrefutable, scientists and campaigners should resist the urge to tell us how to live our lives."
Full story HERE.
For further comment about "third-hand smoke" (which I described as a "laughable term" when I was speaking to the BBC) I recommend articles by Michael Siegel HERE and Chris Snowdon HERE.

This is the association theory of every relation between Shakespeare and Bacon. That their expertise has gone to their fingertips and out of being on the very tip of professions, they've drawn on other concepts from other careers to explain their successes in their own careers! Thus, Shakespeare becomes the artist and (then) the scientist and Bacon becomes the scientist and (then) the artist. Artistry in science as description of career and approach is nothing new to us, in 2011, as Pierre Duhem has explained science as requiring artistry for it to succeed, I think!
I think further that it's plausible that these two people have known of one another and (deeply or not) respected the work of the other (perhaps also while making general considerations, independently of other people, only immersed in what they've been requiring out of their sheer work effort! They may have glanced at each other, still, though!

I've thought of this since the airing of a program on Norwegian TV, NRK or TV2, I can't remember which.

I think I saw bits of the series that went in Apil, weekly, from 9., 16., 23. and 30.! Even then, the series has been aired during August, 2010, 4 parts, last year, that is (this written 19.10.2011).ReplyDelete

The implants appear to be improving movement both clinically and statistically, Natividad Stover, M.D., of the University of Alabama here and colleagues reported in an open-label pilot study in the Dec. 13 issue of Archives of Neurology.
Based on pre-clinical studies, which showed that the retinal cells produced levodopa and improved symptoms in animal models of the disease, Dr. Stover and colleagues recruited six patients, with a median age of 52.2 years, from the university's movement disorders clinic.
The patients had been suffering from Parkinson's for a mean duration of 10.2 years. Their mean baseline score on the Unified Parkinson's Disease Rating Scale (UPDRS) total was 118 without medication. On the scale, 0 represents no disability, while 199 is the worst possible score.
Human retinal pigment epithelial cells, Dr. Stover and colleagues noted, have several advantages for this potential therapy. They are easily extracted from post-mortem eyes, grown easily in culture, and can be stored frozen for long periods.
Moreover, when they're attached to a gelatin microcarrier, they can be transplanted into the brain, where -- even in the absence of immunosuppressive therapy -- they can live for an extended period of time, Dr. Stover and colleagues noted.
Using magnetic resonance imaging-guided stereotactic surgery, the researchers implanted approximately 325,000 retinal pigment epithelial cells in five spots in the postcommissural putamen, on the side of the brain opposite to each patient's most affected side. No immunosuppression was used.
The safety follow-up included clinical examinations, elicited adverse events, vital signs, brain magnetic resonance imaging, neuropsychological evaluations, and standard laboratory studies.
A postoperative brain MRI in all patients confirmed the accurate placement of the implants, and follow-up MRIs at three, six, 12, and 24 months showed no abnormal signs of inflammation or rejection, Dr. Stover and colleagues reported.
One patient had a small brain hemorrhage near one of the implants, without serious consequences. Another patient developed depression and suicidal ideation 14 months after the implant; medical treatment resolved the issue.
Treatment-related adverse events included transient dyskinesias and visual hallucinations, which were resolved by adjusting anti-Parkinson's medication, the investigators report.
The patients also saw their symptoms improve, the researchers found:
- Over the first 12 months, the UPDRS motor score, measured when patients were off their medications, improved 48% on average, which was statistically significant at the p=0.006 level. The improvement was sustained over the full two years of the study, at a slightly lower level.
- The UPDRS total score also showed significant improvement, of about 35% on average (also significant at the p=0.006 level.)
"Improvement was also observed in activities of daily living, quality of life, and motor fluctuations," the authors noted.
On the basis of these results, the researchers have begun a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study, the authors said.
The authors pointed out that the results were obtained in relatively young patients and it is possible that the results may not be as good in older patients. In addition, as there was no control group, it is possible that placebo effects may play a role in this open-label study.

Researchers at security firm Symantec have revealed that the Stuxnet was targeted at five different organisations operating in Iran.
As the nuclear sites are unlikely to be connected directly to the Internet, attacks could have been instigated by infecting industrial organizations sharing information and malware with plants such as Natanz.
In a blog post, the company said that it evaluated a total of 3,280 unique samples of the Stuxnet attacks that contained 12,000 infections, only a fraction of all the known infections.
Symantec also revealed that three of the five organisations were attacked once, one was targeted twice while another was attacked three times.
The organisations, all of which have a presence in Iran, were targeted in June 2009, July 2009, March 2010, April 2010 and May 2010.
"We have a total of 3,280 unique samples representing approximately 12,000 infections. While this is only a percentage of all known infections, we were able to learn some interesting aspects of how Stuxnet spread and where it was targeted," the company said in a statement.

It's an old story, but it appears that they're remaking it again. No, it's not the BBC dramatisation of Dracula. It's rising unemployment.
Youth unemployment is particularly troubling. In November this year 11,200 young people had been claiming benefits for more than a year. Youth unemployment is now worse than it was when Labour came to power. Figures from the Office of National Statistics are instructive:
1997 2006 Change
16 – 24 year olds unemployed 665,000 702,000 + 37,000
16 – 24 unemployment rate 14.4% 14.5% + 0.1%
16 – 24 unemployment rate – London 22.5% 42.9% + 20.4%
Labour MPs are rushing to blame the usual suspects – immigrants. With simple but flawed logic they suggest that hundreds of thousands of East Europeans have flooded in and taken jobs that might otherwise be filled by British workers. However, if this were the case, why was it that two thirds of a million 16 – 24 year olds were unemployed before the East Europeans arrived? How has Britain managed to absorb hundreds of thousands of East European workers when unemployment has only risen by tens of thousands?
This scapegoating of hard working, tax paying immigrants is a sordid attempt to shift attention from the real culprits: the Labour government. Youth unemployment is on the rise because Labour has strangled business with masses of extra regulation and rising taxation. It is rising because our schools are still failing to teach basic skills to far too many of our children; a quarter are functionally illiterate, innumerate and leave school at 16 with no qualifications worth speaking of. And it is rising because the government's New Deal is a disaster, costing more and proving less effective than similar schemes in comparable countries, while massaging the jobless statistics by placing young people in jobs that last less than 13 weeks, so that returning jobless do not appear to be long-term unemployed.
In 1997 Gordon Brown described the levels of youth unemployment that Labour inherited from the Conservatives as "sickening", a "human tragedy", "an economic disaster". After nine years of his chancellorship, it is now worse. It is an old Labour story, and each time we read it we feel the same despair. Labour isn't working.

Enjoy the article, but it makes grim reading.

An Abundance of Katherines by John Green
Series: standalone
Genre: Young Adult, Contemporary
Publisher: Penguin Books
Released: 10 May 2012, first published in 2006
Length: 227 pages
Format: paperback from the library
Book Blurb: Katherine V thought boys were gross Katherine X just wanted to be friends Katherine XVIII dumped him in an e-mail K-19 broke his heart When it comes to relationships, Colin Singleton's type happens to be girls named Katherine. And when it comes to girls named Katherine, Colin is always getting dumped. Nineteen times, to be exact.
On a road trip miles from home, this anagram-happy, washed-up child prodigy has ten thousand dollars in his pocket, a bloodthirsty feral hog on his trail, and an overweight, Judge Judy-loving best friend riding shotgun–but no Katherines. Colin is on a mission to prove The Theorem of Underlying Katherine Predictability, which he hopes will predict the future of any relationship, avenge Dumpees everywhere, and finally win him the girl. Love, friendship, and a dead Austro-Hungarian archduke add up to surprising and heart-changing conclusions in this ingeniously layered comic novel about reinventing oneself.
My Thoughts: There is something different about John Green's books that make them different to other young adult books.
This is a coming of age story. One that I'm not sure too many people could identify with. Only dating people with the same name. Being super quick at anagramming almost everything into structurally sound sentences. Having parents let their teen-aged son take off on a quest of self-discovery after a girl dumped him. But there is something about Colin Singleton that's relate-able, and it isn't just the heartbreak.
One thing I really like about this story: even though there are plenty of mathematical algebraic(?, that's me pretending to be smart) equations, by no means does it leave you feeling dumb. They are well explained by Colin and the footnotes. And the footnotes, I think they added to this story's originality. It doesn't make for good listening. A friend was listening to the audiobook and couldn't quite understand what was going on, so make sure you have a physical copy with you.
I'm finding with John Green novels, he takes the boy meets girl expectations and gives them a simple twist. Like with TFIOS & Paper Towns, you would move mountains for that happy ending but when those final pages come around, you are happy with where the story has gone. It's not the "happily ever after" you expect from YA.
My Rating:
Author Stalker Links
I honestly think everyone knows John Green. He's pretty popular on the YouTubes with his bro Hank and in the book world, especially among the YA readers. But just incase you live under a rock, you can find John with these links:
Website | Twitter | YouTube | Instagram
Final Comments: If you've read John Green and haven't read this one, make sure you do! If you haven't read anything by John Green, this is a good one to ease you into the heartbreak that is TFIOS.

Bharat Darshan is a part of our ongoing effort to understand India, as it changes form and flexes shapes in ways known and unknown.
Do we consume technology or does technology consume us?
Our 2016 Bharat Darshan plunged headfirst into the wired and the wireless, the connected and the disconnected, the simple and the complex world of all things tech.
From government offices bumping up to a paperless status to street corners teeming with free wifi hopefuls, there was a lot unsaid yet uncovered in our journey through India's heart.
Delhi, Mumbai, Bangalore, Kolkata, Bikaner, Jodhpur, Bareilly, Berharampur, Nashik, Hyderabad, Rajamundry and Vellore were mapped in this round of exploration.
And they didn't disappoint.
The first thing we understood was that technology isn't the easiest thing to grasp. The way it changes us, psychologically, in language and lingo, mannerisms and habits, in relationships and communication, and how this (almost) invisible entity has made us impossibly dependent on itself was a pretty huge eye-opener for us.
What's even more interesting is how interactions between the real world and the one created virtually hop between being blurred and being so completely different, depending on where we look at those lines from.
Are there new boundaries created by tech?
What about fantasies and the possibilities of them coming true, even if virtually? What about trust, insecurities, and secrecy? And expectations and compromise?
How do the parameters of self-image and confidence change with interactions that happen on social media?
Is there a new social hierarchy? And a new meaning of boredom? How are emotions being dealt with?
How has it impacted opportunities, imagination, and creativity? Education and job creation?
The possibilities and improbabilities of the whys, hows and whats gave us a collection of stories we refer to for brands that are interested in really understanding how the intangibles also have the power to make real, tangible changes. The fluidity and the ever-changing nature of technology match our eagerness for a revisit and also find opportunities to share this knowledge. Sooner than later, we hope.
How about snacking on observations and having insights for meals.
Fancy? Wishful? Mouth-watering?
Our 2015 Bharat Darshan was nothing less than that.
Patiala, Lucknow, Patna, Vijaywada, Coimbatore and Rajkot became labs for our Food explorations.
Where food is not something that we just eat, but becomes a medium to understand the various social and personal experiences.
It tells stories of families, relationships, social roles, health, indulgences, consumption patterns, individuality.
Bharat Darshan is like a jump into the unknown. You are not sure where it will take you.
Meandering through the streets of India you suddenly find yourself being served snacks at somebody's house, or chatting with a sweet shop owner, or having conversations with an industrialist over dinner.
It tells us how India is engaging with food in newer ways.
What are the boundaries of flirtation with food?
What do chocolate samosa, Chinese bhel and chicken golgappa reveal about the food mash-up culture brewing all over the country?
What are the differences between familiar indulgences and irresistible junk food?
What is the interplay between home-food and outside-food?
What this allows us is to help food brands align their offering with the changing food consumer.
Where does the individual belong?
To the city, to the town, to past, to present, to future?
How do individuals form their identity in shape-shifting spaces?
These are becoming key questions for a nation in transition.
That's why this Bharat Darshan we looked at the stories of transition.
Transitions are not always physical; they happen in minds as well.
What changes when people move from one culture to another?
Behavior, fashion sense, consumption, value system?
We went to Haryana, Assam, Maharashtra, Uttar Pradesh, Rajasthan and Kolkata mapping the journeys of people from the place of origin to the destination.
We traced back the life stories of people who have moved to metros by going back to their small towns and even villages.
Deep dive into the stories of these individuals tell us about their conflicts and what is the inadvertent impact on the fabric of our society.
They allow us to reframe the brands and the categories in a way that they start empathizing with the consumers and the realities of their life while simultaneously speaking the language of change.
What if we tell you that small town India won't grow up to be metropolitan India?
What if we tell you that the brands approaching them with a linear 'trickle down' effect are in for a big surprise?
What if we tell you that they are actually inventing their own syntax to live by and not following the prescribed templates handed down to them?
When we explored the emerging cities and the nature of change, we realized there is much more to the cities than what meets the eye.
A journey to 11 states, 30 towns told us that with-in every old town resides a new town, at times merging and becoming one with each other and at other times remaining staunchly separate and barely speaking to one another.
Understanding the trajectory of change requires gate crashing into these cities and have free flowing conversations with people at different vantage points.
This enriching journey gave us powerful insights about how they negotiate change.
Essentially, in people's stories, lay hidden the changing idea of the cities they inhabit.
This was our first Bharat Darshan.
A journey that was meant to be.
An exercise that is a natural consequence of being at Futurebrands.
This is an expression of our quest; a deeper yearning to see the people of India, up close and personal.
Futurebrands is an organization with 'culture' as the fountainhead of its thinking and way of working.
It firmly believes that great brands cannot be created unless one deeply understands the culture it resides in.
The secondary view on India and the conventional marketing understanding which strictly is a narrow view of category and brands, leaves much to be desired.
It does not satiate our desire to see the real in all its textures and graininess.
Therefore we set out on a journey to understand India, its culture and its people and get a first hand view of what's happening.
Equipped with cameras, Dictaphones, notepads and above all eyes full of curiosity we headed out to 'see' India.
To have a Darshan, a glimpse that will throw some light on how our country is moving ahead.
It's a desire to understand India from a more empathic vantage point.
It doesn't look at India from the confines of a metro city but takes a panoramic view at the vastness of small town India.

Hey there. I'm updating again from my phone, but this time from the relative comforts of the hiker hostel at Neel's Gap, where I'm spending the night.
I suppose I should start with the hikes, since that's what this is all about after all. Everyday has brought some uniquely beautiful stretch of trail. Day one wound through a valley of rhododendrons, which I have never seen outside of my backyard, and was one of the nicest stretches of trail I've ever been on. And it has some steep
competition in that regard. The first few miles of day two were spent along a beautiful ridge line, with great views off of the side. And today I sumitted blood mountain, the highest point so far.
I hiked 12 miles yesterday to the woods hole shelter. I had hoped to make it to Neel's, but by the time I got to woods I realized that the hostel would definitely be full, so I decided to stay there then hike to the hostel the next day. It ended up being a great decision, a bunch of the people ive been playing leapfrog with ended up showing up later in the evening and a good time was had by all. There was also only 7 of us there which was a nice change from the tent city of the prior night.
There are so many things I'd like to write about, but it is a pain to type on this small screen so I suppose I'll have to pick only one.
Trail names seem to be a kind of fetish amongst us rookie thruhikers. Everyone has their own hopes and dreams about what theirs will be, along with their own opinions about how one should be come by. Personally, I've been given a bunch so far but none have stuck quite yet. Before the first day was out, Yappy had dubbed me young punk (for not knowing a famous old school tennis player), sort-you-out, zoom, and when I demmured saying I'd be crawling along soon enough, oZoom (occasional zoom).
Trail names seem to come from three main categories, arbitrary bits of personal information, a funny story, or personal choice. Last night I dubbed one of the section hikers, the commercial diver I mentioned earlier, "frenchie" because he greeted me with a hearty Bon jour the first morning on springer and he's from baton rouge. He liked it well enough and I've done my best to get others to use it.
In response, or perhaps retribution, he dubbed me coal miner because I was wearing all black (like I had just come from a coal mine) and I mentioned my dads extended family lives in PA and in the past worked in the mines (which I think is true?). I kindof like it so I might pick that one up and besides my cohort of hikers has kindof picked up on the joke. I was also dubbed smiley by a grumpy dirtbag (which is an affectionate term) hiker, so smiley coal miner was floated as a possibility, but I think that's a bit too cumbersome. Maybe SCM or CM.
But that's enough of that.
It's hard to express just how wonderful it is being out here. I'm just beginning to slide into trail time and, for my money, there's no better feeling in the word. And that's just one small part of what has made this great so far.
I've packed up three days of food for the next stretch to hiawasee Georgia, which should be a more relaxed pace. My feet have been hurting recently and I think it's because I pushed too hard the first day. So I'm going to take it easier for a while even though I'd rather be walking longer days.
I've got some great pictures I'd like to post but that'll have to wait until I get to another hostel or library.
More soon.

SD Taste is the latest in neuroscience based restaurant experiences. You've heard of dark tasting restaurants where you eat in the dark with the expectation that your other senses will be heightened. But we ask, why would you want to take away one of the important senses in a multisensory experience. At our restaurant we only deprive you of senses that at not involved in taste which as it turns out isn't that many. So come down to SD Taste, its SD for Sensory Deprivation, not Standard Definition, because at SD Taste all flavors are in High Definition with Sensory Deprivation.
