How the Liver Works

Anatomy of the liver

The liver is located in the upper right-hand portion of the abdominal cavity, beneath the diaphragm and on top of the stomach, right kidney, and intestines. The liver, a dark reddish-brown organ that weighs about 3 pounds, has many functions.

There are two distinct sources that supply blood to the liver:

  • Oxygenated blood flows from the heart via the hepatic artery.
  • Nutrient-rich blood flows in from the rest of the body through the hepatic portal vein.

The liver holds about 13 percent of the body's blood supply at any given moment.

The liver consists of two main lobes, both of which are made up of thousands of lobules. These lobules are connected to small ducts that connect with larger ducts to ultimately form the hepatic duct. The hepatic duct transports bile produced by the liver cells to the gallbladder and duodenum (the first part of the small intestine) to aid in digestion.

What are the functions of the liver?

The liver regulates most chemical levels in the blood and excretes a product called bile, which helps to break down fats, preparing them for further digestion and absorption. All of the blood leaving the stomach and intestines passes through the liver. The liver processes this blood and breaks down the nutrients and most foreign substances, such as medications, in the blood into forms that are easier to use for the rest of the body. More than 500 vital functions have been identified as being dependent on the liver. Some of the more well-known functions include the following:

  • Production of bile, which helps carry away waste and break down fats in the small intestine during digestion
  • Production of certain proteins for blood plasma
  • Production of cholesterol and special proteins to help carry fats through the body
  • Conversion of excess sugar or glucose into glycogen for storage. (This glycogen can later be converted back to glucose for energy.)
  • Regulation of blood levels of amino acids, which form the building blocks of proteins
  • Processing of hemoglobin for use of its iron content. (The liver stores iron.)
  • Conversion of poisonous ammonia to urea. (Urea is one of the end products of protein metabolism that is excreted in the urine.)
  • Clearing the blood of drugs and any toxic substances
  • Regulating blood clotting
  • Resisting infections by producing immune factors and removing certain bacteria from the bloodstream

When the liver has broken down harmful substances, they are excreted into the bile or blood. Bile by-products enter the intestine and ultimately leave the body in the feces. Blood by-products are filtered out by the kidneys and leave the body in the form of urine.

New York Jets’ Darrelle Revis Has a Torn ACL, Out for Season

September 24th, 2012 at 12:13 PM
By Donald Lappe

The New York Jets suffered a major scare yesterday when cornerback Darrelle Revis went down with a knee injury during their 23-20 overtime win against the Miami Dolphins. Darrelle Revis went for an MRI this morning and has a torn ACL in his left knee. Darrelle Revis is out for the rest of the 2012 season.

New York Jets cornerback Darrelle Revis is out for the season with a torn ACL in his left knee. The Jets will now have to scramble defensively after losing their centerpiece, as Darrelle Revis is an essential piece of everything the Jets do on defense. Rex Ryan is going to be forced to really earn his money if the Jets hope to field an elite defense this season.

Darrelle Revis is the best player on the Jets and what he is able to do against the best wide receivers in the NFL allows Rex Ryan and Mike Pettine a ton of freedom when calling the Jets defense. Without Darrelle Revis, the Jets will be forced to be a bit more aggressive in trying to get to the quarterback, and their deficiencies in terms of generating a pass rush will be underscored. Expect Kyle Wilson to step into the starting lineup across from Antonio Cromartie.

Every NFL team has to deal with injuries, but losing a player like Darrelle Revis can be devastating. How the Jets rebound will be a testament to what kind of depth they have, their resolve and the ability of Rex Ryan and his staff to overcome adversity and keep this team together. There will be plenty of people that will expect the Jets to fold with this news. The next step is to see how the Jets plan to overcome this obstacle.

    oops... britney spears shut down her doubters again

    work, b*tch!

    by Hayden Manders August 14, 2015

    Photo via @britneyspears Instagram

    National treasure Britney Spears is thriving right now. Her Las Vegas show Piece of Me is a smash, she's probably coming back to television, and her Instagram life is endearingly happy. America loves a good comeback story, and The Princess of Pop's is it.

    Footage of a recent Vegas performance has begun to make its way around the Internet. It shows pretty much the same show you've probably, admittedly or not, watched at odd times of day. There is, however, something peculiar going on…something incredible. The Spears up on that stage was not the Spears we've grown accustomed to over the past few years. No, no! This Spears was popping, locking, dropping, spinning, thrusting, grinding, flying, and hair-flipping with a vigor we haven't seen since the "My Prerogative" era. This is next level.

    Guess who, haters? It's Britney, bitch.

    Alguns vídeos do incrível show de ontem (08). Maravilhosa!

ALBINEN, Switzerland— NIGHT was descending in the Alps.

There was new snow on the gnarled pines and more flakes falling. Down in the valley the lights of the Leukerbad ski resort flickered on as the last bit of day faded from the peaks. It was the kind of scene commemorated on a million postcards.

Abruptly, on the perilous road carved from the sheer granite slope, a football spiraled through the gloom, 30 yards on the fly to be snagged by a dim shape wearing parka and ski gloves. ''San Diego here I come,'' came a voice from the snowy dark.

It was the men's downhill section of the beleaguered United States Ski Team, trying to squeeze a little bit of Super Bowl feeling out of the remote place. Soon the young men would troop up to the hotel to see to the waxing and grinding of their batteries of skis, watch some videotape of the day's races and eat an unfamiliar meal, hoping that somehow the magic of the last Olympic year would find them again. That was 1984 in Sarajevo, Yugoslavia, when Bill Johnson, Phil Mahre and Debbie Armstrong won gold medals and Christin Cooper and Steve Mahre came home with silvers. It seemed that Americans were on the way at last in what had always been a European sport.

Since then there have been little but disasters, orthopedic and financial. The surge of commercial support the skiing establishment expected did not materialize, the Mahres and Cooper retired and Bill Johnson might as well have, the young replacements lacked experience and success. ''It's been all downhill,'' said one coach without smiling.

This weekend the ski officials will meet at their headquarters in Park City, Utah, to pick the 16 men and 16 women - four for each event - who will represent the United States at Calgary. For some of the women the suspense is over as Pam Fletcher, Hilary Lindh, Edith Thys and Kristin Krone were named to the downhill squad and Fletcher, Thys, Krone and the recuperating Armstrong for the super-G slalom. The rest will have to wait for the sifting of medical reports and the byzantine Federation Internationale de Ski ratings for each discipline. Officials say 75 percent depends on results, 25 percent on coaches' opinions.

Injuries have played a large part in the American decline. The four best female skiers - Tamara McKinney, Tori Pillinger, Eva Twardokens and Armstrong - have been sidelined. The two best male downhillers, Doug Lewis and Mike Brown, have also broken bones and only Brown appears to have a chance to return in time for the Olympics.

Among the men, Felix McGrath and Tiger Shaw are certain choices in the ''technical'' events (slalom and giant slalom) while Jeff Olson and A. J. Kitt appear to have clinched spots in the downhill. McGrath is the only American skier of any description who has had consistent top-10 results in the World Cup rankings this season, but he is still far from a favorite for a medal. It has been such a disappointing season for the rest that coming in 15th in any World Cup race would have been a certain ticket to Calgary. High Tech in the Extreme

Skiing at the top levels of World Cup and European Cup has become high tech in the extreme. Even the pole makers have technicians who follow the tour, making tests to determine the best aerodynamic bend for those competitors who endorse their product. Any post-race interview is much more likely to be about the skis than the skiers - ''My skis were fast today but I wasn't'' or ''I had a fast wax but the wrong grind'' are perfectly acceptable explanations of performance. It is like a race driver talking about his car, and not at all as ridiculous as a basketball player talking about his sneakers.

Skiers like Bill Johnson travel with a dozen pairs of skis, wrapped in a big canvas holder and tended by a technician from his sponsoring company. The skis acquire personalities for the skiers, and apparently some are like old lovers you call up in the middle of the night. Johnson says that at the first World Cup race this season he reached back in desperation for some skis he had used in 1982, when he was burning up the minor leagues of European racing. It didn't work; he was 73d out of 88 finishers.

Still, technology has not taken over completely. The raw danger of the downhill, a drop of 3,000 feet over an icy track in less than two minutes, remains the showpiece of the sport. In the straightaways racers are traveling at more than 80 miles per hour and they are not in a car or an airplane, just themselves naked to the rush of the wind. On a bad course a skier can hit a rise - ''having some air,'' they call it - and fly 40 yards at the height of a two-story building. When they go up, the saying runs, they are teen-agers. When they come down they are 57. Johnson's plummet from No. 1 to No. 60 or so has been remarkable for its speed. He has had knee and back operations which he acknowledges have retarded his off-season training, but his coaches and teammates say that he seems to have lost the fire. ''I just don't understand how someone who's been up there and knows what it takes won't take advice and work hard,'' said Theo Nadig, the downhill coach. Generations Are World's Apart

Johnson is 26 and his teammates as young as 17, and there is very little interaction between the two. It is as if Johnson and Gina, his wife of two months, travel in one compartment and the others someplace else. ''I really don't pay much attention to what he does,'' said Jeff Olson, who is 22. ''I would be disappointed if he was named to the team. I would lose some respect in our coaching staff.''

Johnson is as brash and engaging as ever, saying he felt fine and just needed to find a pair of fast skis. ''Remember I can turn myself around in 24 hours whereas I don't know anyone else here who has a chance to do that,'' he said.

He is already looking forward to the 1992 Olympics and maybe even those planned for 1994, he says. ''Right Gina?'' he adds and his wife smiles a yes.

Outside it is dark and the snow is still falling. Johnson is near the end of his nightly ration of pre-dinner beer - a big stein followed by a small one. He looks out into the night. ''Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow,'' he sings, almost like a prayer.

WHILE the emergence of an original full-scale musical, even with a title like ''Last Tango in New Wango,'' may not be uncommon for a drama student's thesis, it isn't every semester that a production company is formed as part of the project.

But what Meredith Freeman, who is enrolled in the Yale Drama School's Theater Management Program, envisioned was continuity: ''a connection between thesis and life,'' as she put it.

Thus, Tango Productions, a nonprofit company, was formed last summer. ''The company is oriented around the project,'' said Ms. Freeman, a 32-year-old Detroit native who is Tango Production's producing director, ''but it will continue, not as a theater producing a season full of plays, but as a workshop where time will be spent on developing interdisciplinary works: collaborations among composers, playwrights and visual artists.''

''Last Tango,'' which will have performances from Thursday through next Sunday at Artspace, Educational Center for the Arts, at 55 Audubon Street in New Haven, is the first section of a three-part work that will be developed over the next year and a half. Each part will be separately titled, and the company has announced an opera, ''Pagan Babies,'' as its next work-in-progress.

What sets ''Last Tango'' apart from the customary thesis production is its professional collaborators. The piece's author and director, Jorge Cacheiro, is a 1987 Yale School of Drama graduate who has had his work produced off Off Broadway. Richard Hill, its composer, is the head of Mikata, a popular Afro-Caribbean band that regularly plays in the Greenwich Village club Sounds of Brazil, in Toad's Place in New Haven and on tours of college campuses in New England.

They all came together at Yale -Ms. Freeman and Mr. Cacheiro, who was a student in the Yale Director's Program, worked together last year when she played a small role in his production of ''Elektra,'' and Mr. Hill teaches at Yale intermittently as an adjunct professor of West African Music and Culture.

''Last Tango'' - which has received financing from various sources, including the Connecticut Commission of the Arts and a producer's grant from the National Endowment for the Arts - is part parody of Milton's ''Paradise Lost'' and part club concert, according to the 30-year-old Mr. Cacheiro, who comes from Cuba and is listed as Tango Production's artistic director.

Stylistically, he said, the musical creates and combines tension between cartoon elements - animated sequences, devised by Martin Kozlowski, a satirical cartoonist, are projected on three large screens throughout the performance - and classical devices, usually a send-up of Old English Miltonian verse.

The plot, such as it is, concerns an Everyman couple named Alice and John Tuds, who are depicted being led astray by their worship of culture's superficial trappings, exemplified by beauty and money.

''The iconography of the media is the core of the piece,'' Mr. Cacheiro said. ''A billboard in ascent represents a way to escape and to redefine identity.''

On elevated platforms, a preacher named Tim and his wife, Faye, are situated, which is Mr. Cacheiro's commentary on the materialism of the evangelical movement. By the end of the 55-minute piece, the earthbound couple separate, having performed their ''last tango.'' The two sections to be developed will show their journey through ''The Game of Life'' - its tentative title - and their eventual return, transformed.

Considering the piece's unorthodox nature and the fact that New Haven, of late, has become a hub of experimental theatrical activity in the state, one is inclined to attach to ''Last Tango'' the appellation, avant-garde.

Mr. Cacheiro disputes that. ''It is not textually oriented, like other productions, where I've adapted Ibsen or done Hugo von Hoffmanschtall's libretto for 'Elektra' strictly as a dramatic piece,'' he said. ''There are only 12 pages of dialogue here, and it's a mixture of hip deejay, heightened language and colloquialism.

''This is conceived as a pop statement of our culture, with simple, straight immediate imagery. The idea is to bring video and Michael Jackson-type funk dancing to one arena with audience and performer - there are 15 in the cast and the space holds 200 people - intermingling. I don't know what I'd call it, but I know it's not an intellectual expression, like the works of Robert Wilson or Lee Breuer. It's an entertainment.''

The play's composer, Mr. Hill, 38, is from Fairfield County and studied in West Africa from 1974 through 1976. His 10-member band ''grew out of an exploration of traditions of West African and Caribbean music,'' he said.

For ''Last Tango,'' two members were added to the group and Mr. Hill composed ''rhythmically funky dance music with my own idiosynchracies, crossing and cutting between rhythms so that it's conversational and complex. It's pop and exotic, but more of a pop sound than I usually write. And I'm accustomed to writing leisurely - reflecting, taking a month or so to try out a lyric. Here, I'm really banging it out.''

For Ms. Freeman, who expects to graduate two weeks after ''Last Tango's'' concluding performance, the project represents ''bringing elements together - starting from nothing and building to something.''

''Last Tango in New Wango'' will take place on Thursday and Friday at 8:30 and 11 P.M., Saturday at 11 P.M., and next Sunday at 3 and 7:30 P.M. Tickets are $6. For information, call 782-2290.

A Brooklyn man and woman were arrested yesterday after police officers found the woman's 2-year-old daughter semiconscious, with second-degree burns on her buttocks and back.

The man, Ira Manson, 23, and the woman, Patricia Hoyt, 20, identified by the police as his girlfriend, were charged with first-degree assault and endangering the welfare of a minor.

The police said that a tip from an anonymous caller led them to an apartment at 706 Greene Avenue in Bedford-Stuyvesant, where officers found the toddler partly wrapped in a towel. When one of the officers removed the towel, they saw the burns. The child also had a small bruise on her right temple, the police said.

The child was taken to the Cornell Medical Burn Center and was in stable condition, a hospital official said.

Detective Mark Patterson, a police spokesman, said it was unclear whether Ms. Hoyt, who is eight months pregnant, had other children.

And so it came to pass that a talking carp, shouting in Hebrew, shattered the calm of the New Square Fish Market and created what many here are calling a miracle.

Of course, others are calling it a Purim trick, a loopy tale worthy of Isaac Bashevis Singer or just a whopping fish story concocted by a couple of meshugenehs.

Whatever one calls it, the tale of the talking fish has spread in recent weeks throughout this tight-knit Rockland County community, populated by about 7,000 members of the Skver sect of Hasidim, and throughout the Hasidic world, inspiring heated debate, Talmudic discussions and derisive jokes.

The story goes that a 20-pound carp about to be slaughtered and made into gefilte fish for Sabbath dinner began speaking in Hebrew, shouting apocalyptic warnings and claiming to be the troubled soul of a revered community elder who recently died.

Continue reading the main story

Many people here believe that it was God revealing himself that day to two fish cutters in the fish market, Zalmen Rosen, a 57-year-old Hasid with 11 children, and his co-worker Luis Nivelo, a 30-year-old Ecuadorean immigrant.

Some people say the story is as credible as the Bible's account of the burning bush. Others compare it to a U.F.O. sighting. But the story rapidly spread around the world from this town about 30 miles northwest of Manhattan, first through word of mouth, then through the Jewish press.

The two men say they have each gotten hundreds of phone calls from Jews all over the world.

''Ah, enough already about the fish,'' Mr. Rosen said today at the shop, as he skinned a large carp. ''I wish I never said anything about it. I'm getting so many calls every day, I've stopped answering. Israel, London, Miami, Brooklyn. They all want to hear about the talking fish.''

Here then is the story, according to the two men, the only witnesses. Mr. Rosen, whose family owns the store, and Mr. Nivelo, who has worked at the shop for seven years, say that on Jan. 28 at 4 p.m. they were carving up carp.

Mr. Nivelo, who is not Jewish, lifted a live carp out of a box of iced-down fish and was about to club it in the head.

But the fish began speaking in Hebrew, according to the two men. Mr. Nivelo does not understand Hebrew, but the shock of a fish speaking any language, he said, forced him against the wall and down to the slimy wooden packing crates that cover the floor.

He looked around to see if the voice had come from the slop sink, the other room or the shop's cat. Then he ran into the front of the store screaming, ''The fish is talking!'' and pulled Mr. Rosen away from the phone.

''I screamed, 'It's the devil! The devil is here!' '' he recalled. ''But Zalmen said to me, 'You crazy, you a meshugeneh.' ''

But Mr. Rosen said that when he approached the fish he heard it uttering warnings and commands in Hebrew.

''It said 'Tzaruch shemirah' and 'Hasof bah,' '' he said, ''which essentially means that everyone needs to account for themselves because the end is near.''

The fish commanded Mr. Rosen to pray and to study the Torah and identified itself as the soul of a local Hasidic man who died last year, childless. The man often bought carp at the shop for the Sabbath meals of poorer village residents.

Mr. Rosen panicked and tried to kill the fish with a machete-size knife. But the fish bucked so wildly that Mr. Rosen wound up cutting his own thumb and was taken to the hospital by ambulance. The fish flopped off the counter and back into the carp box and was butchered by Mr. Nivelo and sold.

The story has been told and retold, and many Jews believe that the talking fish was a rare shimmer of God's spirit. Some call it a warning about the dangers of the impending war in Iraq.

''Two men do not dream the same dream,'' said Abraham Spitz, a New Square resident who stopped by the store this week. ''It is very rare that God reminds people he exists in this modern world. But when he does, you cannot ignore it.''

Others consider it as fictional as Tony Soprano's talking-fish dream in an episode of the ''The Sopranos.''

''Listen to what I'm telling you: Only children take this seriously,'' said Rabbi C. Meyer of the New Square Beth Din of Kashrus, which administers kosher-food rules. ''This is like a U.F.O. story. I don't care if it is the talk of the town.''

Whether hoax or historic event, it jibes with the belief of some Hasidic sects that righteous people can be reincarnated as fish.

Unnatural occurrences play a part in the mystical beliefs of members of the Skver sect. On the other hand, some skeptics note that the Jewish festival of Purim, which starts Monday night, is marked by merriment and pranks, which might be a less elevated explanation for the story.

Some community members are calling the two men an enlightened pair chosen to receive the message. Others have said that Mr. Nivelo may have been selected because he is not Jewish.

''If this was a story concocted by a bunch of Jewish guys, it might be suspect, but this Luis, or whatever his name is, he has no idea what this means,'' said Matisyahu Wolfberg, a local lawyer.

''If people say God talks to them, we recommend a psychiatrist, but this is different,'' said Mr. Wolfberg, sitting in his office with his black hat resting atop his computer terminal.

''This is one of those historical times when God reveals himself for a reason. It has sent spiritual shock waves throughout the Jewish community worldwide and will be talked about throughout the ages.''

Zev Brenner, who last week broadcast a show about the fish on ''Talk Line,'' his talk radio show on Jewish issues, on WMCA-AM (570) and WSNR-AM (620), said that the story has fascinated the religious community worldwide.

''I've gotten calls from all over asking 'Did you hear about the fish?' '' he said. ''You can imagine, a talking fish has got people buzzing. This is going to be talked about for a long time to come, unless it's somehow verified as a hoax, which is hard to imagine, since the proof has been eaten up.''

Mr. Brenner said that the story is so well known that it has inspired a whole new genre of wedding jokes for Jewish comedians.

''The station had an advertiser, a gefilte fish manufacturer, who considered changing his slogan to 'Our fish speaks for itself,' but decided people would be offended,'' he said.

As for Mr. Nivelo, a practicing Christian, he still believes the babbling carp was the devil. His wife told him he was crazy, and his 6-year-old daughter even laughs at him.

''I don't believe any of this Jewish stuff,'' he said. ''But I heard that fish talk.''

He said that Spanish-speaking rabbis have been calling his home every day and night asking him to recount the story.

''It's just a big headache for me,'' he added. ''I pull my phone out of the wall at night. I don't sleep and I've lost weight.''

Mr. Rosen said that he spoke to his wife, who was visiting Israel, and that she had already heard the story from someone else.

''My phone doesn't stop ringing,'' Mr. Rosen said. ''Always interruptions, people coming in and taking their picture with me.''

He paused and turned to Mr. Nivelo, who was cutting salmon for a customer.

''No, too big,'' he said. ''She wants appetizer.''

Courier driver stole tobacco worth thousands

A former courier driver has been convicted after stealing more than $22,000 worth of tobacco that he was supposed to deliver.

David Lawrence Severinsen-Maddren pleaded guilty to two theft charges when he appeared before Judge Philip Crayton at the Whanganui District Court on Tuesday.

Police prosecutor Stephen Butler said Severinsen-Maddren worked as a relief courier driver for Courier Post.

Between August 17 and September 5 of this year, Severinsen-Maddren received two packages of cigarettes and tobacco from British American Tobacco, that he was supposed to deliver in Whanganui.

But the packages were never delivered.

Courier Post employed an investigator to find out what had happened to the packages. When confronted, Severinsen-Maddren admitted he had taken them. He handed over $1900 in cash and a large quantity of tobacco.

"He told police he was under financial pressure," Mr Butler said.

Severinsen-Maddren's lawyer, Debbie Goodlet, said this was her client's first offence. She said he was open to being involved in the restorative justice process.

Judge Crayton convicted Severinsen-Maddren on both theft charges, and remanded him on bail him so he can take part in restorative justice with his former employer.

Judge Crayton warned Severinsen-Maddren he could be going to jail.

Living Legends Award 2013
Share |

Dr. Martin Milner Receives NCNM & OANP
2013 Living Legends Award

Martin Milner, ND, was honored with the 2013 Living Legends award by National College of Natural Medicine (NCNM) and the Oregon Association of Naturopathic Physicians (OANP) at a banquet held Dec. 7 at the Portland Marriott Downtown Waterfront Hotel. NCNM and the OANP selected Dr. Milner to be honored with the naturopathic medicine's prestigious Living Legends award for his demonstrated leadership, commitment to excellence and outstanding contributions to the advancement of natural medicine.

In addition to his private practice, Milner, a 1983 NCNM graduate, is an OANP past president and current board member, and an NCNM professor in cardiopulmonary medicine. In April 2013, Milner's Center for Natural Medicine, an NCNM teaching clinic since 1999, received the national distinction of being the first naturopathic clinic in America to be credentialed (by the Oregon Health Authority) as a Tier 2 Patient-Centered Primary Care Home. Milner's clinic will also soon be celebrated as an NCNM Center of Excellence in cardiovascular medicine.

Milner has a long list of accomplishments. In addition to teaching and his clinical practice, Milner is a popular lecturer as a keynote speaker at conferences and symposia nationally and internationally. He has served as an expert witness to the Oregon Board of Naturopathic Examiners, consulted with the nutraceutical industry, and contributed an extensive list of scholarly research for publication to peer-review journals on topics including coronary heart disease, cardiac arrhythmias, respiratory disease, hypothyroidism, menopause and Alzheimer's disease.

NCNM President David J. Schleich, PhD, praised Milner's legacy of educating NCNM students at the Center for Natural Medicine: "Dr. Milner has long had a reputation as a superb clinician whose work has broken ground for naturopathic physicians in Oregon and continues to advance the profession of naturopathic medicine. It's also important to note his dedication to educating generations of NCNM students. They are fortunate to learn from a professor of his stature. We are very proud to have Marty on our faculty and grateful to him for his tireless efforts on behalf of NCNM."

OANP Executive Director Laura Farr agreed with Schleich's assessment. She added that the Living Legends nominating committee also recognized him for "his pioneering work in teaching cardiology and primary care, and his deep commitment to training new doctors by being among the first and most consistent in offering residencies and preceptorships. Last, and importantly, Dr. Milner has provided unfailing support and leadership for the OANP."

In accepting the award, Milner reminded attendees they were stewards of the profession of naturopathic medicine at a pivotal time for health care in America. "In your most challenging moments, remember that no other physician is being asked to learn all of conventional medicine and natural therapeutics as a licensed primary care provider," Milner said. "We are the true and only fully trained physician-healers on the globe today. We are the medical intelligentsia of the modern era-an elite class of physicians engaged in...aiding in the healing of one patient at a time, while transforming the face of health care."

The Living Legends award dinner also celebrated the accomplishments of four other accomplished NCNM alumni, who were inducted into the Naturopathic Hall of Fame: Drs. Rita Bettenburg, Bruce Canvasser, Bruce Dickson and Corey Resnick. The Hall of Fame was established to honor naturopathic physicians who have made significant contributions in the advancement of natural medicine.
  • 1989 NCNM graduate, Dr. Rita Bettenburg, former dean of NCNM's School of Naturopathic Medicine whose 25 years of dedicated service to NCNM has been instrumental in establishing NCNM's reputation for academic and clinical excellence; she also contributed years of service to the OANP, including key roles as its vice president and president. In addition, Dr. Bettenburg also was a member of the Council on Naturopathic Medical Education and sat on the board of the American Association of Naturopathic Physicians (AANP).
  • After his graduation from NCNM in 1977, Dr. Bruce Canvasser stayed on to teach botanical medicine and was clinic director at the college, as well as an NCNM board member. In 1978 he founded and was president of NF Formulas, a nutraceutical company that was acquired by Integrative Therapeutics, Inc. (ITI). He now sits on ITI's medical advisory board.

Clean grounds boost school pride

August 5, 2014

As a retired, 30-year employee of the Fort Cherry School District and a lifetime resident, I can say it has never looked so bad around the school grounds.

With the doors soon to open for another school year, someone should be in the fields with a brush hog to keep the grounds looking good. It takes everyone working together to make the students have pride in their schools.

Projecting the 2012 Cubs: Right Field

The Cubs signed DeJesus on November 30th to a 2-year guaranteed contract with a 3rd year option. He's guaranteed $10.5 million over the contract. I think a couple of the reasons the Cubs chose DeJesus is quite simple and I mentioned them in that article. DeJesus played RF for 116 games last season and played 8 games in CF. He’s …

We haven't looked at any of the pitcher projections yet, so we might as well start with the longest tenured starter on the squad.

Shortstop is the last infield position we have to look at it and it's without a doubt the most exciting position.

Kings drop opener on Quick's OT mistake

St. Louis Blues players celebrate their 2-1 overtime win over the Kings in Game 1 of their first-round playoff series. BILL BOYCE, THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

ST. LOUIS - Jonathan Quick got the Kings to overtime. Then last year's Stanley Cup MVP gave it away.

Alex Steen stole the puck from the unsuspecting goalie behind the net and scored a short-handed goal to give the St. Louis Blues a 2-1 victory over the defending Cup champions on Tuesday.

“It's exactly what it looked like,” Quick said. “I tried to make a play, he blocked it and scored.”

Win, lose or embarrassed, Quick said he moves on.

“If we had won, I put it right away. If we lost like we did, I put it right away,” Quick said. “It doesn't make a difference. We'll try to win Game 2.”

Steen scored unassisted on a backhander at 13:26 of overtime less than a minute after Blues defenseman Kevin Shattenkirk was whistled for a double-minor high sticking when he cut Dustin Penner.

Blues coach Ken Hitchcock was wondering how in the world his team would deny the Kings that long this late in the game when Quick appeared to dawdle a bit handling the puck and Steen swooped in, intercepting a clearing effort and quickly sliding it home.

“I had fresh legs and I figured I'd try him,” Steen said. “I just got fortunate behind the net.”

Steen also scored on a power play in the first period for the Blues, who ended an eight-game losing streak against the team that swept them in the second round last spring. Getting to the goalie who won the Conn Smythe Trophy with a 1.41 goals-against average and .946 save percentage made it all the sweeter.

“It's just such an emotional swing,” Hitchcock said. “You're down, figuring out how to kill a four-minute power play, and then the game's over.

“You hate to say things are must wins, but hopefully we're going to gain a lot of confidence.”

The Kings were 4-0 in overtime during last season's run to the Cup.

“What are you going to do, sit back and feel sorry for yourself and then cost yourself two games?” defenseman Rob Scuderi said. “You can try to learn from your mistakes, dust yourself off and try to win a game on Thursday. I'm hoping we're going to pick the latter.”

Quick made 35 saves in regulation, keeping the Kings in it for Justin Williams' tying goal with 31.6 seconds left.

Before Steen's shocker, the Kings had been on a roll, outshooting the Blues 7-0 after coach Darryl Sutter called a timeout.

The Kings outscored the Blues 15-6 in the playoffs last season and 14-7 in three regular-season meetings. But they were thoroughly outplayed most of the way in Game 1, rescued time and time again by Quick, including a few saves early on that he wasn't sure he'd made judging by the backward glances.

Williams' 16th career playoff goal tied it at 1, not long after Quick was pulled for an extra attacker. Brian Elliot, who had three shutouts during the Blues' 12-3 surge to finish the regular season, didn't hug the post and missed with the glove on Williams' innocent-appearing shot from the right face-off circle.

The Blues also got the first goal in the 2012 series opener when David Backes scored midway through the first period. The Kings tied it less than eight minutes later and never trailed the rest of the way against the No. 2 seed in the Western Conference.

Steen's second career playoff goal made the Kings pay for a too many men on the ice call. Shattenkirk made the play, retrieving the puck near the blue line and firing a slap shot that resulted in a big rebound and the lead at 9:05.

The Blues were 0 for 17 on the power play in last year's series and 2 for 11 this season.

The Kings had a handful of chances to tie it on the power play in the waning seconds of the first. Elliott made two sprawling saves and got his glove on a backhander by Jeff Carter that hit the right goal post near the buzzer.

During the Kings' second-round sweep of St. Louis last spring, Elliott allowed 13 goals on 89 shots for an .854 save percentage. Hitchcock revealed before this series that Elliott had been battling an inner-ear infection since the end of the Blues' first-round series win over the Sharks.

Kings D Robyn Regehr went straight to the dressing room after getting his face bloodied by a skate in the opening minute of the third but only missed a few shifts. The game was delayed for a few minutes while workers dealt with a pool of blood behind the Kings net. … Blues forward T.J. Oshie returned from a 15-game absence following ankle surgery and bumped slumping rookie Vladimir Tarasenko, who had three assists in the last 15 games, from the lineup. … Blues D Jay Bouwmeester was the second-most experienced player in NHL history to make his playoff debut according to STATS LLC, getting to the postseason after 764 regular-season games. Only Olli Jokinen (799) waited longer.

Buena Park officers could be next to wear body cameras

The Buena Park Police Department could be the next O.C. law enforcement agency to equip its officers with body worn cameras to record interactions with the public. , NICK AGRO, FILE PHOTO

The Buena Park Police Department could be one of the next law enforcement agencies in the county to equip officers with body worn cameras.

The cameras, which record video and audio of officers’ interactions with the public, are already being used in Fullerton and Anaheim and have been tested by the Orange County Sheriff’s Department.

“It’s clear that this is where the (law enforcement) industry is headed,” Buena Park Capt. Gary Worrall said in a recent presentation to the City Council. “We are already recording our contacts on audio, so to make the jump to video recording is not a big deal for most of our officers. In fact there are quite a few officers that are looking forward to it.”

A definitive proposal, including the cost and guidelines on how the cameras will be used, will be made to the council in “a couple of months,” the captain said.

The estimated cost for the devices is $240,000, which includes 80 cameras, one for each officer during a shift, plus data storage and support services for five years.

However, there would likely be peripheral costs, such as adding more personnel to handle the expected deluge of public records requests and evidentiary requests for video captured by the cameras, Worrall said.

“In law enforcement we want to keep things that are evidentiary as long as possible,” he said. “However, the longer you keep it, the more expensive it gets.”

With council approval, all officers could be equipped with the devices in just under a year, he said.

“I would like to already have the cameras,” Councilman Fred Smith said. “We need them. I’ve seen them work other places. It makes an honest man honest-er. You’re a little more careful what you say. Your attitude changes.”

When addressing the council, Worrall cited statistics from the Rialto Police Department, which has been using body cameras since 2012.

That agency saw a striking decline in conflict involving cops and civilians. Complaints against police fell 88percent and use of force incidents dropped by half, according to a report issued by the Police Foundation, a nonpartisan group that tracks trends in policing.

Less conflict could mean less money paid out by the city in civil courts and settlements.

Video footage would also be an invaluable tool in assessing officers’ conduct and crafting future training and policy, the captain said.

“It’s a pretty big deal to us because this would give us an opportunity to review video of things and critique our performance,” he said. “We tend to review our performance regularly after significant incidents.”

Buena Park officers would continue using audio recorders to dictate reports, Worrall said.

Here, Kitty!

Bob Aul

You are the neighbor, friend, boyfriend, fellow pet owner, homeless, rich, poor, out-of-towner, tourist, UPS worker, business owner, employee off Main Street and Huntington Beach native who all stopped and took a moment to look at one of many fliers that flagged downtown H.B. I am the new resident who would be spending her first Fourth of July mere blocks from the big fireworks extravaganza. I am the girl who learned the hard way that fireworks send indoor cats and pets alike running to the streets. For the next five days and nights, I did nothing but walk around downtown, putting up more than 300 fliers while searching for my cat. Along the way, I met many lovely people who shared their compassion, encouragement, concern, as well as their own stories. I want to thank all of you. Without you, my cat may have never come home, which he did—the very same way in which he escaped: the window. But most important, you gave me hope. Thank you!

Saying Hi to the New Kids in OC Media

Saying Hi to the New Kids in OC Media

Everyone put their hands together to give a big Orange County welcome for the region's two new news outlets! It was only last month that the Los Angeles Times announced it was venturing back into Orange County with these two publications that, apparently, are now up and running.

First up: the Orange County Local News Network, located at The site is part of a growing national chain of LNNs. Managing Editor Greg Magnus introduced himself and his four-person staff in a post on Monday:

Over the next few months, we'll be rolling out a multitude of sections for you to peruse, wander and perhaps even wonder.

Ah, that eternal journalistic goal: to make readers wonder a multitude of sections.

The site's content is a mix of original--though not necessarily all that different from what we're getting in the Register--reporting, as well as stories provided by Los Angeles Times affiliates the Newport-Mesa Daily Pilot, the Laguna Beach Coastline Pilot and the Huntington Beach Independent.

OCLNN even has an "OC Homicides" blog. The Weekly's Matt Coker has been blogging each homicide in the county for some time now, but it doesn't seem like there should be too much overlap: For some reason, Navel Gazing has been lacking in reports of murders in Lancaster

Next up is OCLNN and LA Times affiliate O.C. Now, located at To be honest, we're a little confused by the site. It's bright and sorta pretty, but it appears to simply be an aggregator of press releases, sports briefs, and Times-n'-friends stories about Orange County. Kind of handy, we suppose, but not the in-depth, afflicting-the-comfortable reporting we might have hoped for. Speaking of which... Norberto Santana Jr., where are you?

Good luck to everyone!

One of God's primary purposes for His creation is that it be a revelation of Himself to us (Romans 1:20). It follows then, that in order for anything that man creates to be considered truly "great", it must be an accurate reflection of what he knows to be true of the character of God. When others can see the attributes of God and His standards for excellence in the works of our hands, they are drawn to the Source of those standards and are stirred to respond to Him (Psalm 40:3). This recording contains many familiar and well-loved hymn tunes arranged in classic baroque settings. It is our prayer that these arrangements will draw your heart beyond the music itself to the heart of the Master Composer and reveal to you even a small glimpse of the order and beauty of His creative work.

Melinda Wishes To Thank...  I am especially thankful to God for my parents' support, for Mr. Gothard's faith and encouragement, and for my teacher, Mr. David R. Ledgerwood.

Product Description:

BELLES OF ST. TRINIAN'S was the first of several British comedies inspired by the fear-inspiring girl's school created by cartoonist Ronald Searle. The girls of St. Trinian's aim their deviltry at a gang of crooks who plan to steal a famous race horse. Alastair Sim wraps up the proceedings with his dual portrayal of the school's severe headmistress (!) and her bookmaking twin brother. Also worth watching is veteran supporting player George Cole, who makes a tidy profit on the alcoholic beverages produced in the girls' science lab, and toothy Joyce Grenfell as a diligent lady constable. Like most of the subsequent "St. Trinian's" farces, BELLES OF ST. TRINIAN'S was a joint effort of the producer/director/writer team of Frank Launder and Sidney Gilliat.

Description by Kultur Films:

Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart was without doubt the most prodigiously gifted of all Western composers. More than any other composer, it is his mythological biography – from the archetypal ‘Wunderkind' childhood to his early obscure death – that defines our popular conception of a great composer. This film unravels two hundred years of fiction and myth. The deteriorating relationship Mozart had with his father, and his choice of Constanze for his wife, are re-assessed in this film which expertly depicts the intrigue and jealousy that surrounded his life. This is shown alongside extracts from the hit film Amadeus based on Peter Shaffer's superb play.

Magical Peloponnese

Kyllini lies on the western coast of the Peloponnese,
in the region of Ilia, just 45 minutes from Araxos airport
and 100 km from the seaport of Patras.

Ancient Olympia
During classical times Olympia was the city where the Olympic Games took place, the greatest athletic event of the then-Greek world. Ancient Olympia is a village and a municipality of Ilia, built in the valley of river Alpheus. Nearby lies the archaeological site, one of the most popular ones in Greece, which attracts every year tourists from all over the world.
Peloponnese is one of Greece’s most unspoilt regions, renowned as much for its archaeological treasures as its outstanding natural beauty. Myths and legend lie around every corner of the mountainous landscape, which is dotted with colourful villages and fragranced by olive and citrus trees, herbs and flowers.
An abundance of sandy beaches, cultural and historical experiences and warm Greek hospitality makes the region the ideal destination for family holidays.There are many places worth your visit, spread in a short distance in the area surrounding the Resort: Beautiful landscapes, unique ancient monuments like the temple of Apollo Epikouros, traditional settlements like the picturesque Lambeia and the colourful villages of Andritsena, Karytena and Dimitsana, the famous mineral springs of Kaiafa, the seaside settlements of Kourouta and Arkoudi well known for their intense night life and the unique sunset over the Ionian Sea- and, of course, the fabulous Forest of Foloi, that used to give shelter to the mythical Centaurs.

Riva Policies for GroupWise

  1. Managed Calendars
  2. Managed Proxy Access
  3. Managed Rules
  4. Managed Folders
  5. Managed Address Books
  6. Managed Categories
  7. Folder Create
  8. Birthday Reminders
  9. Password Expiry Reminder Email
  10. GWIA Internet Address Clean-up
  11. Riva Support Files

Managed Calendars

Riva's GroupWise Managed Calendar module allows you to "push" calendar events, reminder notes and tasks to your users' GroupWise calendars. GroupWise CCU benefits businesses and organisations that need to add managed calendar entries (semester start and ends dates, statutory holidays, business events, department calendars, etc.) to selected user calendars. Read about how some of our customers use Riva Managed Calendars to push shared calendar information to BlackBerry and GroupWise Mobile Server devices and meet their other calendaring needs:  Contra Costa County Office of Education, Skokie/Morton Grove School District 69 and Paragon Title & Escrow Company.

Managed Proxy Access

We developed Riva's Managed GroupWise Proxy Access module to enhance email security reporting compliance. Many organisations require GroupWise administrators to have proxy rights to users' GroupWise accounts. Our GroupWise Proxy Access module allows these organisations to push proxy settings into multiple users' accounts from a single administration workstation. Different proxy settings can be applied to users based on eDirectory group or container memberships.

Managed Rules

Riva's Managed Rules policy allows administrators to define and manage a common set of GroupWise rules for individual GroupWise accounts, members of a group and the entire organisation.

Managed Folders

The Managed Folders module allows you to select a folder structure (shared or unshared folders) in a source account and "push" that structure (one or more) to your destinations.

Destination options include:
  • Creating the folders as shared folders and automatically accepting them into the destination(s)
  • Automatically maintaining the shared folder structure
  • Automatically re-creating shared folders that were deleted by the user
  • Removing access from shared folders
  • Creating the folder structure(s) wihout sharing the contents
  • Removing folders (including shares, content and sub-folders) from the destination(s).

Managed Address Books

The Managed Address Book module allows administrators to distribute and manage GroupWise address books to GroupWise users.

Managed Categories

The Managed Categories module allows you to standardise, create and push common categories out to user accounts.

Folder Create

The Folder Create module allows administrators to add new folders immediately below the “Root” and “Cabinet” objects in the destination GroupWise accounts. Folder Create policies can be used to delete existing folders in destination GroupWise accounts including folders not originally created using a Folder Create policy.

Birthday Reminders

If your users record key contact birthdays in their address books, Riva's Birthday Reminder module will extract that information and add a birthday reminder note into their GroupWise calendar.

Password Expiry Reminder Email

Use this module to automate sending an eDirectory password expiry email to your users.

GWIA Internet Address Clean-up

Do you need to clean up old GWIA Internet gateway address information left over from your migration to GroupWise Native Internet Addressing? Riva's GWIA Internet Address Clean-up module uses a Trusted Application to allow an administrator to remove all unnecessary gateway information, prefixes and suffixes that cause your users' address book entries to fail. GWIA Gateway Cleaner cleans up account address information, whether the account is accessed with a Macintosh, Linux or Windows GroupWise client.

Riva Support Files

Available for download is our Riva Support Files which contain prebuilt calendar files for US and Canada for 2009 and 2010 that can be used with Riva managed calendar policies, and a sample set of files to test the GWIA Internet Address Cleanup policy.

Languages Out There

Today I came across an organisation called Languages Out There that runs an unusual style of language courses – you spend an hour or two studying, then go out on the street with your tutor to practice the language you’ve learnt. For example, you learn out food and drink, then go out for a meal and order in the local language. The idea is to give you plenty of opportunities to make practical use of the language you’re learning with local people.

This sounds like more fun than sitting in a classroom all day – maybe I’ll give it a try sometime next year. They currently offer courses in English, Spanish, Italian, German and Czech.

This entry was posted in Language.

    I took a look at the website and it looks interesting. But it’s a shame that all the Spanish courses are in Spain…when Mexico is only a 5 hour car trip from my house.

  2. Kelly says:

    Sounds like a very innovative and interesting way of learning a new language. Takes the focus of the boring stuff like grammar too!

    BTW, thanks for the link to my blog ‘Aspiring Polyglot’. It’s always great to know others are reading and are feeling the same way about languages. 🙂 I’ve returned the favour and linked back to this blog.

    Bye for now!

  3. Jason says:

    Someone just sent me the link to this blog because you were discussing our course and website.

    Sorry we don;t have any courses in Mexico Adam, we are hoping to have some there soon and also in other Central and Southern American countries. We licence schools by providing them with a manual and lesson plans and support via the web/phone. Often we go there to train their teachers how to teach Out There.

  4. Jason says:

    Me again. A few things are making me lose sleep. The main one being that I am concerned about language learners’ perceptions of what we do. Someone I spoke to recently thought that people who travel to learn a language have pre-conceived ideas of what a language course is i.e. same old same old. Do you think this is true? The second thing, is that a lot of schools we talk to about what we do often jump to conclusions and say ‘we do that already’ or ‘that’s not a new idea’. It really bugs me that they seemingly cannot see beyond what they and virtually all other schools do, i.e. offer basically the same classroom bound, heavy mental-processing, and rules based programmes that are counter-intuitive to the way the brain accepts, stores and recalls information for practical purposes (which, after all, is what communication is for).

    I have been in touch with some clever people and read a lot of research (yes, educated myself!) in the fields of language acquisition and psycholinguistics\constructivism etc. and I am pretty sure that what we do has not been done before in this way. There is a lot more to it than people think and we are trying to continue to explore it.

    Have you heard of Stephen Krashen, the famous American linguistics academic, this is what he says in his introduction to his book ‘Second Language Acquisition and Second Language Learning’:

    “…adults have two independent systems for developing ability in second languages, subconscious language acquisition and conscious language learning, and that these systems are interrelated in a definite way: subconscious acquisition appears to be far more important.”

    “language acquisition requires meaningful interaction in the target language – natural communication – in which speakers are concerned not with the form of their utterances but with the messages they are conveying and understanding. Error correction and explicit teaching rules are not relevant to language acquisition (Brown and Hanlon, 1970; Brown, Cazden and Bellugi, 1973).”

    I guess what we do is enable learning acquisition, what the rest do is called language learning. Hence some of the results we get. Clients who won’t say boo to a goose on day one of a four week course being difficult to shut up when they leave! Really.

  5. Adam says:

    Jason – Your system *does* sound unique to me. I went through a very intensive program at Ulpan Akiva, a Hebrew language school where the classes where 8 hours a day, six days a week. I really enjoyed the program, and I learned a lot, but I don’t think their techniques were much different than what I’ve seen in university courses in America.

    I actually lived with my cousins, and I learned more Hebrew with them at home than I did in class….although my cousins were not teachers, so at home I got laughed for my mistakes, which caused me to become very self conscious. So I shut up most of the time, and as a result, my Hebrew is quite broken.

  6. Jason says:

    Adam – that’s the whole basis behind students travelling to take courses and staying in homestay accommodation. That’s where students get most of their real practice with the language. I wasn’t sure from your description if it was your cousins laughing at your mistakes or the people when you got home because you’d picked some dodgy stuff up from your cousins? If it was your cousins they weren’t being very sympathetic, were they?

    But, this self-consciousess actually has name, it is called ‘lathophobic aphasia’. Normally locals who meet our students are a bit surprised to have some one speak to them in this way and for this purpose, and they are very accommodating and spend a few minutes with them before moving on their way. Hence, because they are not too familiar with our student they behave themselves and listen and help and sometimes even correct, especially pronunciation. If you listen to a beginner student, Kate, on our website using Spanish for the one of the first times in her life, you’ll hear her interview four or five people outside the Palacio Royal in the middle of Madrid. At the start she massacres the pronunciation but she adjusts with the help of the people she meets and by the end she is much better. Go to the Madrid location page and click on ‘Today’s sound’. At higher levels people really go for it and pick up masses of real current vocab that you won’t find in course books. Let me know if you go there and what you think?

  7. Juan Mendez says:

    This course sounds fantastic. I have learnt a great deal of expressions and vocabulary just from having a native girlfriend. I suppose this could be the next logical step. LanguageDating, for those looking for romance and to shape up their language skills!

  8. Adam says:

    Jason – It was my cousins and their friends that laughed at me, unintentionally of course. Not only for my mistakes, but for using “correct” words I learned in school instead of slang or popular terms. They said I spoke too formally. I couldn’t tell the difference.

    My worst experience was at dinner. I tried to tell my cousin that I didn’t like chicken breast. I had no idea that in Hebrew it was not called a chicken breast (but rather, חזה עוף, “chicken chest”), and my choice of words caused my cousin to spit out her drink and laugh herself right out of her chair. I guess it must’ve sounded to her like I had said “chicken mammaries”.

    I understand why they would laugh; sometimes a mistake from a lower level student at the school would make me chuckle. But I just clammed up after that, and I shouldn’t have.

  9. Jason says:

    Adam – Yeah, you’d get that maybe because the school was quite traditional or used dated materials to teach from in the classroom and I’m sure it was just very funny for your cousins and they weren’t poking fun at you.

    I heard of someone who went to Greece and felt bold and talked to a few people when they arrived only for the people to fall about laughing. Eventually the person confessed they were trying out their old ancient Greek from school but somehow thought it was ‘just Greek’!

    The thing about learning local and current language is that it makes you feel more ‘normal’ and less self-conscious than if you stick to the generic texts that publishers foist on the industry.

  10. Hi Jason

    Congratulations on the Fifth Bithday of Languages Out There, you are going from strength to strength. Is it really so long since we sat in the local discussing its inception!

  11. Jason says:

    Keith – long time no see! Thanks a lot. Well, it hasn’t been easy and there is still a lot to do. Hope to see you soon for a pint!

  12. Jason West says:

    This thread seems to have petered out but if anyone is still getting a feed I’d like to give you a bit of an update if you are still interested. LOT has entered a collaboration with The Guardian and Guardian Languages was lanched the other day. The website contains lesson plans for schools and teachers that can be photocopied and used at will. They contain interesting Guardian content and are real Out There lessons. Classes based in Engish speaking countries can, obviously, go outside and meet people for their real practice element, but we haven’t forgotten all of those schools in non-English speaking countries and there is a really funky bit of software you cab download from the website. It enables you to create a language profile for yourself and then meet and talk to other language learners (liek on Skype) for free, but you can also call people who want to help you to practise your language skills and pay them a sensible and inexpensive fee for their time automatically (entry level is 6.95 GBP per hour). You only have to be fluent or a native speaker (we call you to make sure you are) to eanr 80% of that fee. Calls are billed by the second, so you can just have a quick chat and don’t have to stay on for long and all calls are rated by the learner. If you get consistently good ratings and manage to buuld up a client base and want to move from giving practice to people to actually scheduling proper teaching sessions on the system there is a schedule/contact planner (CRM) and diary and you can ask us to increase your charge out rate. We hope that teachers around the world will start to use it and that we will have different levels of service, from simple fluent or native speaker having a focused chat to help someone practice to scheduled full on teaching, all at different charge out rates.

    Oh, and you can also make really cheap calls to landlines and mobiles, send video messages etc. etc. (I caled a mobile in China the other day for 2p a minute!).

    There are also lesson plans for self-study which cost 1GBP and like the teacher driven lesson plans are designed to give your practice focus and instigate useful conversations that involve you using the target language.

    Free samples of LOT lessons are available from the site when you have registered but we envisage and would love to see people using their own materials. It’s there, it works, please go and use it.

    Any questions/comments are very welcome.

Under surveillance terror suspects 'still plotting' with Al Qaeda

London, Feb.4 (ANI): Though under constant surveillance, terror suspects in the United Kingdom are still plotting with their al-Qaeda handlers.

British Government ministers have warned that at least 15 are under control orders, but not under house arrest.

The Sun quoted Shadow Home Secretary Chris Grayling as saying: "It's extraordinary that terrorist suspects subject to control orders are still being allowed to maintain contact with their terrorist associates. We told them (the government) that this system wouldn't work properly, but they just wouldn't listen." (ANI)

Rahul Gandhi removes all 8 UP zonal presidents

Subscribe to Oneindia News

New Delhi, May 20: Amid mounting complaints to Rahul Gandhi, Congress on Monday removed all the eight zonal presidents in Uttar Pradesh including two Union Ministers RPN Singh and Jitin Prasada and CWC member Rasheed Masood and brought in local leaders in their place. Zonal presidents who faced the axe included senior leaders like PL Punia and Rajaram Pal, MP and state leaders Vivek Singh, Anugrah Narayan Singh and Bijendra Singh.

They were appointed as zonal presidents only in late 2012 and there were complaints of 'non-performance' against them in reaching out to the people. The move to have zonal presidents and vice presidents was the brainchild of Gandhi as part of his plans to tone up the organisation.

The new Zonal Incharges are: Pankaj Malik, MLA, Deepak Kumar, former Minister, Vinod Chowdhery, ex-MLA, Digvijaya Singh, Lalitesh Pati Tripathi, MLA, Bhagwati Chaudhary, Sanjay Kapoor, MLA and Dr Muslim, MLA. Of these, Malik and Tripathi had earlier been Zonal vice-presidents.

The new Zonal Coordinators are: Virendra Singh Guddu, Dilnawaz, MLA, Bansidhar Raj, former Minister, Aslam Rainee, Chandra Shekhar Singh, Virendra Chowdhery, Phoolwati Saini and Yogesh Dixit. Of these, Rainee was a Zonal Vice-President in the outgoing set-up.

Reports had it that Gandhi had taken a dim view of the functioning of the zonal presidents as several of them failed to visit even the district headquarters under their charge while some others did so fleetingly. Along with the zonal incharges and coordinators, Congress chief Sonia Gandhi also appointed 31 District Congress chiefs.

Uttar Pradesh is politically most crucial state for the Congress having sent 22 Lok Sabha members out of 80 in the last Parliament elections. The party, however, suffered a debacle in the Assembly elections in 2012 as it secured just 28 seats in the 403-member House.

Convenience Delivered

With our mobile app and 24/7 Virtual Medical Team, you may be able to get treatment without an office visit

"What's unique to our approach is the openness we try to achieve during the office visit. Patients feel that they can open up and feel free of judgment."

Nicole Badie, MD, MPH

We're proud to offer comprehensive, culturally competent care to our diverse community of members. Whether you're specifically looking for a lesbian or gay doctor or a provider who has extensive experience in LGBT (Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender) care, we can address all your health concerns with sensitivity and compassion in a judgment-free environment.

Conveniently located in Downtown Boston, One Medical delivers compassionate, accessible care to all of our Boston LGBT members. With same-day and next-day appointments, a mobile app, and a 24/7 virtual team, we make it as convenient as possible to get the care you deserve in a way that fits your needs. All of our providers recognize the unique health challenges our LGBT members may face, and they're trained to handle a variety of mental and sexual wellness concerns, as well as HIV management, pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP), substance use, and more. We're proud to offer unbiased, accessible care from providers who treat you as a whole person.

Why go to One Medical for LGBT care?

We recognize that going to the doctor can be stressful for anyone, and the experience can be especially difficult for anyone who's had negative experiences with health care. At One Medical, we celebrate all identities, including gay, straight, transgender, queer, gender non-conforming, and genderqueer. Our goal is to make you feel welcome, comfortable, respected, and valued, and we’re committed to providing excellent care to everyone.

Unlike many other primary care offices, we ask our patients whether they prefer feminine, masculine, or gender-neutral pronouns, and we allow you to lead the discussion around personal topics related to your health, including gender identity and sexual orientation, at your first wellness visit.

What kinds of health services do you provide to members of the LGBT community?

We go to special lengths to create a safe, non-judgmental space for our members to address all their health concerns. We do this through thoughtful communication, empathy, and unbiased care. Our providers are equipped to handle the full spectrum of primary care health concerns as well as a range of issues specific to the stressors LGBT patients may face. In addition to comprehensive wellness visits, our providers are experienced in issues related to depression and anxiety, cancer prevention and screenings, weight management, and substance use, as well as issues related to sexual health, including STD and HIV prevention and care, and pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP).

Research suggests that LGBT patients may be at an increased risk for issues including depression, anxiety, and substance abuse, and our providers have extensive experience in managing these issues.

Do you provide transgender care?

Yes. All of our providers are qualified to provide quality, unbiased care, and certain providers have special training and experience in managing transgender care. This means that in addition to making sure patients feel safe and understood, these providers have additional expertise around hormone management, surgical referrals, and interpreting lab results. When making your first appointment, ask which providers in your area are experts in transgender health.

How do I pick a doctor who can handle LGBT issues?

All of One Medical's providers deliver inclusive care, but providers who have special training or expertise in LGBT health care issues will have "LGBT Care" noted under the "Interests" section of their bio. Moreover, you can always call and speak with a member of our team who can help you select a provider who best meets your needs. You can book appointments with the provider of your choice, and can change your PCP at any time if you decide there is someone who might be a better fit.

Which Boston providers specialize in LGBT care?

Our board-certified providers are trained to handle everything from preventive medicine to treatment of acute and chronic conditions. Boston team members who have a specific interest in LGBT care include:

For more guidance in picking a provider for your specific needs, just call 617-419-2893. And rest assured that there is no commitment in selecting a provider; you can always change providers at any time and for any reason.

How do I make an appointment?

Upgrade WAMP WITHOUT Losing MySQL Database Records in SECONDS!

Amazon WampServer is a Windows web development environment. It allows you to create web applications with Apache2, PHP and a MySQL database. Alongside, PhpMyAdmin allows you to manage easily your databases. When you upgrade WampServer you also get the latest version of PhpMyAdmin, which often shows marked improvements over the previous version.

Despite the benefits of having a single-effort installation of the web development tools, the biggest downside is you lose all the data stored in the previous MySQL server instance.

This article will walk you though upgrading WampServer in SECONDS without losing any MySQL database tables and data by following the following simple steps. Let's assume you are upgrading from WAMP 2.2 to WAMP 2.4.

Another downside is if you upgrade to a newer version of WampServer you are subjected to use whatever versions of Apache2, PHP, MySQL packaged in that version.

Step 1: Download and install WAMP 2.4

You should install WAMP 2.4 in a different folder. Let's assume your WAMP 2.2 is installed at C:\wamp2.2\. Go ahead and install WAMP 2.4 at C:\wamp2.4\.

Step 2: Copy configuration files

Apply the changes you made to the original Apache, MySQL, PHP configuration files to the new configuration files in C:\wamp2.4\ in their respective locations. For example let's say you've changed the value of DocumentRoot directive in httpd.conf. Apply the same change in Wamp 2.4's httpd.conf.

You can try overriding the new configuration files with the old configuration files but if any of them is not backwards compatible you'll run into problems when running the WAMP executable.

In Apache's configuration file, a change a developer often makes is the module section. e.g. LoadModule rewrite_module modules/

In PHP's configuration file, a change a developer often makes is the extension section. e.g. extension=php_curl.dll

Step 3: Copy MySQL data

Copy the folder C:\wamp2.2\bin\mysql\mysql5.5.20\data\ and paste the entire folder at C:\wamp2.4\bin\mysql\mysql5.6.12\. This folder contains the actual MySQL database schema and records and indexes.

If you run into compatibility issues let me know.

Step 4: Configure PhpMyAdmin

Open C:\wamp2.4\apps\phpmyadmin4.0.4\ and make the following changes so that when you open PhpMyAdmin interface you don't need to login. This step is optional.
//comment out the following line if it exists
//$cfg['Servers'][$i]['auth_type'] = 'cookie';
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['auth_type'] = 'config';
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['user'] = 'myOriginalUserName';
$cfg['Servers'][$i]['password'] = 'myOriginalPassword';

Go ahead and start C:\wamp2.4\wampmanager.exe and you are done!
