The NFL draft is just weeks away now and the mocks are in full swing with tweaks, second guesses, and ideas being tossed about like Lombardi’s in the Steelers front office. Ok, just a little humor there but you get the idea.
We feature some of the mock drafts created by members of SA, here on the blog periodically. You can check them all out in our war room section.
MDSteel15 released his latest mock here on SA which doesn’t include drafting a nose tackle. This draws some controversy with fans for sure, but one can argue that this position is the 3rd biggest need on the Steelers right now. Also, that the combination of Hood, McLendon, and eventually Hampton (after he recovers from his ACL) surgery will suffice for 2012? You certainly couldn’t go wrong by addressing this need but there are also some scenario’s, like the one shown below, that can justify not doing so too. Tell us what you think about it and of course check out the mock below.

One of the key elements of any garden is plenty of green, and often in multiple hues. Some people are shy about implementing this color as different shades of green seem to go in and out of style. (Think the avocado green that dominated the 1970s and the lime green of the 1980s.) However, a natural earthy green is easy to implement into the current atmosphere of your room and, so far, has translated well throughout the eras.
Even if your living room poses no spatial challenges, the small space tips below can make your dwelling even roomier! One of the oldest tricks in the book: go with a small coffee table. Below we see a square wooden piece in a room designed by John Dransfield and Geoffrey Ross. Notice how the space has an open feel thanks to an absence of large furnishings in the center.
Choose elements that are neither harsh nor extreme. If this is going to be the primary space for guests, avoid colors that are too severe or gender specific as these could alienate some of your guests. Primary colors and neutrals are always a safe bet. Lighter, brighter colors work best in when used sparingly.
Another vital key in the successful design of a living room is the use of natural materials. Wood, stone and bamboo will all provide us with beautiful surfaces to look at and these will also lend a genuinely warm and welcoming feel to our room. Employing natural materials such as these in our home will make it instantly appealing. And the best news of all is that these materials can be used in all manner of different areas within a living room for example; wooden wall units, bamboo book cases and natural stone floor tiles.
You can also add to the traditional lure by choosing different bold hues for your living room walls. But when you do that, make sure the colors stand well with your taste and that of the visitors too.
The eccentric German lamp designer is known for his bold and delicate designs and artistic improvisations.
Oh, the joys of seating strategy! If your living room is spatially challenged in any way, shape or form, you know how difficult it can be to find a seating arrangement that is both comfy and accommodating. If you have plenty of space, a roomy couch is a great place to start. The living room below features a modular sofa from Usona:
This is one of the most sci-fi and intricate lamps you can imagine, but no less can be expected of sacred monster Artemide. There is a debate about how much usable light this lamp actually gives, but it is a spectacle for the eyes and that is also the reason it is bought at its painfully high price.

Skip to comments.Ron Paul: I Wouldn't Risk US Troops to Stop the Holocaust
Posted on 12/27/2011 11:01:32 PM PST by 2ndDivisionVet
As a historical matter, the US didn't risk troops to end the Holocaust; FDR rejected Morgenthau's entreaties that he bomb the train lines to Auschwitz or take similar actions, on the theory that the US wouldn't support the war if it became perceived as a War for Jews. FDR seemed to believe there was a lot of anti-semitism in the country.
Speaking of which:
And so I asked Congressman Paul: if he were President of the United States during World War II, and as president he knew what we now know about the Holocaust, but the Third Reich presented no threat to the U.S., would he have sent American troops to Nazi Germany purely as a moral imperative to save the Jews? And the Congressman answered: No, I wouldnt. I wouldnt risk American lives to do that. If someone wants to do that on their own because they want to do that, well, thats fine, but I wouldnt do that.
Paul then looked at me, and I politely thanked him for his time. He smiled at me again and nodded his head, and many of his young followers were also smiling, and nodding their heads in agreement. Clearly, I was the only one in the room who was disturbed by his response.
We didn't fight WW2 to end the Holocaust, of course. FDR specifically rejected any actions which might reduce the German's Jew-murdering machine.
But Ron Paul seems to believe we did. It's always the Jews.
Ron Paul is most assuredly an isolationist. He denies this charge vociferously. But I can tell you straight out, I had countless arguments/discussions with him over his personal views. For example, he strenuously does not believe the United States had any business getting involved in fighting Hitler in WWII. He expressed to me countless times, that saving the Jews, was absolutely none of our business. When pressed, he often times brings up conspiracy theories like FDR knew about the attacks of Pearl Harbor weeks before hand, or that WWII was just blowback, for Woodrow Wilsons foreign policy errors, and such.
I would challenge him, like for example, what about the instances of German U-boats attacking U.S. ships, or even landing on the coast of North Carolina or Long Island, NY. Hed finally concede that that and only that was reason enough to counter-attack against the Nazis, not any humanitarian causes like preventing the Holocaust.
But Ron Paul goes a step further than that: He actually casts WWII, which was not a "humanitarian" intervention, as a humanitarian intervention, just so the facts agree with his eternal conclusion.
Of course Ron Paul's supporters don't sweat details like that. They've got bigger issues to worry themselves about.
When not listening to Alex Jones and Jeff Rense, chemtrail believers obsessively take photographs of the poison trails and evil clouds. Of course, since the alien-lizard-Zionist-Bilderbergers forbid the puppet governments of the world from admitting that chemtrails exist, the intrepid chemtrail hunters have been stymied. Sure, they can photograph them, but they cant stop em.
Or CAN they? This year, a movement has spread like dengue fever among chemtrail sleuths. This movement claims that chemtrails can be killed with vinegar, sprayed upward from the ground. And hundreds of chemtrail true believers are doing just that and theyre uploading videos to Youtube, Dailymotion, Ebaumsworld, and elsewhere, documenting their chemtrail kills.
Of the hundreds of chemtrail kill videos, the majority are made by self-described Ron Paul supporters. Ive dubbed this branch of the Paul camp the Paulsamics (as in Paulsamic vinegar). If you want to see the sheer volume of Paulsamic videos online, just Google or Youtube-search chemtrails and vinegar. Below, Ive embedded the very best video of the lot. Its ten minutes long. Normally, I would grab a video of that length and edit a highlight reel. But its impossible to edit this one down; its too damn perfect as it is. Watch as a chemtrail-obsessed, Ron Paul-obsessed mom uses her trusty spray bottle to combat the marauding trails, as her long-suffering teenage son is forced to record her. Witness her great victory as she reemerges later to find that she has cleaned the sky.
Video at the link. This is what really bothers me about Ron Paul. He's not merely courting the paranoid fringe; he is the paranoid fringe. I can almost deal with the racism and antisemitism. These are easily understandable, at least. We're used to such things and prepared for the distortions in thought such impulses will produce.
What I cannot abide is a "man's" full-tilt white-knuckle freak-out over the "New Money."
Congressman Ron Paul Monday morning
Dear Fellow American:
You may not have much time left.
Next year, or next month, the New Money could wipe you out destroy everything youve worked and saved for and leave your family destitute.
It could happen any time. And I dont mind telling you Im scared. For myself, for my family, for my friends, for my country.
Weve seen a lot of financial tyrannies from Washington in this century. This one could take the cake. And popping out of the cake, with a big Surprise!, will be an IRS agent with an AK-47.
Picture this: your feet are aching, your back is sore, and your patience ran out about two hours ago. How dare these bureaucrats treat you like this? How dare they make you wait in this line, this incredibly tedious line, to turn in your greenbacks? Then, when its finally your turn, its not so tedious after all.
An IRS agent with the dead eyes of a mako shark, asks with that chilling police politeness for your name, address, Social Security number, and explanation. From his tone and body language, you expect the Miranda warning next.
While muggers, robbers, and rapists run free on the streets, the power of the state is focused on you.
And no wonder. Youre a suspicious character. Youve always kept some emergency cash. And now youre in trouble. . . because you tried to take care of yourself and your family, because you saved and planned ahead.
When President Bush announced the New Money during a War-on-Drugs speech, few realized what it meant, or just how bad it would be for innocent Americans, not drug dealers. Turning in all your old money for a new currency wasnt so bad. Theyd done it often enough in Latin America, after all.
I uncovered the New Money plans during my last term in the U.S. Congress, and I held the ugly new bills in my hands. I can tell you they made my skin crawl.
These totalitarian bills were tinted pink and blue and brown, and blighted with holograms, diffraction gratings, metal and plastic threads, and chemical alarms. It wasnt money for a free people. It was a portable inquisition, a paper third-degree, to allow the feds to keep track of American cash, and American citizens.
As one federal scientist confirmed to me, these bills can be computer imprinted and read, to lay a paper trail hundreds of transactions long. Who uses them, when, and where. The taggents chemical alarms will set off federal cash-detection machines at airports and anyplace else they choose. And there are other swindles involved as well.
Thank goodness, a patriotic American within the Federal Reserve told me about this financial Manhattan Project. But this time, the government wants to drop the bomb on us.
To manufacture the New Money, the feds have built a colossal blockhouse in Ft. Worth, Texas, as ugly as it is evil. Designed in Stalin-style, guarded by KGB-level security, and full of three-color printing presses and spy device embedders, it belongs in Moscow, not Texas.
Stage One of the New Money microprinting and a polyester thread was meant to lull us to sleep, before the knife fell. But the bureaucrats scheme went awry when the old Bureau of Engraving and Printing plant in Washington, D.C., couldnt handle the new technology.
Theyve fixed that now, and Stage Two will chill your blood.
The New Money will steal our freedom and our prosperity; it will accelerate the transfer wealth and power from the people to the government and its friends.
Yeah, the "New Money" is now in your wallets and it exists, as was always planned, to make it a little harder for North Korea to counterfeit.
If a man were a dedicated UFOlogist and believed in all of it, and was convinced Men in Black existed and all of that too, would we consider electing him just because some of his alleged "policies" were conservative-sounding?
No, we wouldn't, because we'd question his judgment. A man who is afraid of shadow-people and faeries in the garden has an addled mind which cannot distinguish between serious threats, less serious threats which are nonetheless real, and just made-up "I want to worry about this so I don't have to worry about real things" fun-time phantasmal threats.
Ron Paul is crazy. People toss this term around a lot, but I'm saying it seriously, not metaphorically. Political paranoia is just a low-grade, livable form of the serious mental illness called paranoid schizophrenia. And it causes all sorts of misprioritizations.
While Ron Paul worries about Conspiracies Against The Currency, for example, others of us worry about, say, Islamists killing people by the hundreds.
Now, Ron Paul insists the former worry -- the Conspiracy Against the Currency -- is real, and the latter concern, the terrorist one, is made-up by neocons and Jews (but I repeat myself).
The man is literally crazy, at least in a low-level, non-commitment, doesn't-expose-himself-in-public way, and apparently Step One in our effort to take back the White House is to announce to America, in Iowa, that this man represents our views.
Of course, half or more of his support isn't even from conservatives or Republicans, but what are conservatives and Republicans doing adding to his numbers?
And another reason not to vote Paul the antii-Semitic sot.
would Ron Paul do anything in regards to Pearl Harbour?
Posted already this morning...
Besides, who owns this, a Shapiro or Ace?
Hurray, another Ron Paul bashing article, from a blog.
Not even close to being the same column.
So? Guy is an idiot, his ideas will get thousands of people killed.
I'm dead serious when I say it too. Ron Paul is bug nutz crazy. Literally.
Maybe America should intervene everywhere genocide is being committed?
Ron Paul: I Wouldn’t Risk US Troops to Stop the Holocaust, I would not risk my vote on you....

The Ford Ikon was launched in India way back in 1999 and to day remains one of the more fun to drive sedans in the country. The major facelift came along in 2003 when Ford revamped the interiors with better quality trim and more equipment and the 1.6 ROCAM engine was also re-tuned for better economy.
Ford India has now launched a new facelifted model of Ikon. The external changes this time around are substantial with all new front, revamped interiors and slightly revised rear end. The short stubby grille at the front give it an aggressive look while the new head lights do their bit accentuate the aggression. New model is available in both petrol and diesel priced at Rs. 459000.00 & Rs. 520000.00 respectively.
Additional Features/Changes in New Ikon:
1) All New Front with clear headlights & new bumper.
2) Clear Tail Lights.
3) Factory fitted CD Player.
4) Full wing Spoiler.
5) 13" Alloy Wheels.
6) Remote Central Locking.
7) All New Biege Interiors.
8) Chrome Boot Lid.
The subtle front has styling cues taken from the European Fiesta. The rear has been left almost untouched with just slightly redesigned tail lamps. The interiors are much the same too except for the instrument cluster which gets all new dials & factory fitted CD Player system.
The suspension layout follows the highly successful Ford MacPherson strut configuration, with lower A-shaped arms, to improve running refinement and dynamic control. The twist beam rear suspension design matched to the front suspension provides well-balanced handling.
The diesel variant of the new Ikon would come with a 1.4 litre DuraTorq TDCi engine, while the petrol variant would be available with a 1.3 litre RoCam engine. The diesel engine produces 68PS at 4000 rpm and give maximum torque of 160 nm at 2000 rpm. On the other side, the patrol mill is slightly better giving 70PS at 4000 rpm and maximum torque of 105nm at 2500 rpm.
The new engine is derived from Fiesta. The older diesel train was making it hard to comply with the current emission norms. The good thing about new engine is that its lighter than older engine and thus giving more advantage to IKON. It will also add a plus point in terms of mileage. Priced at
The new Ikon is available in exciting 8 new colours:Diamond White, Panther Black, Moondust Silver, Paprika Red, Platinum, Brush Steel and a new colour Morello.

What better way to celebrate Groundhog Day than reliving the same hour over and over—specifically, the Tuesday, 10 p.m. timeslot. Here’s a guide to determine your TV viewing hierarchy:
“The Good Wife” (CBS) Will’s decision to switch his allegiance to Diane instead of Bond adds a new twist the power struggle game–Mama can’t wait to see Christine Baranski deliver a few punches in the fight for the law firm. Rating: DVR it.
“Lights Out” (FX) Mama thinks she knows how to help this boxer, who got off to a rocky start in the ratings: Dump Lights’ wife and kids, who come across as two-dimensional and naïve, and focus instead on the Leary men. The series takes a step in the right direction this week as Stacy Keach’s Pops reels from Omar’s loss in the ring. Rating: Watch it.
“Parenthood” (NBC) As sweet as the Braverman clan is – and Michael B. Jordan has been an excellent addition this year as Haddie’s older boyfriend –the trials of this family don’t feel urgent enough to merit a reserved spot in the TV appointment book. Rating: Set the VCR, if you still have one. Otherwise, you can catch up later.
“Southland” (TNT) One of mama’s new favorite female detective duos, the bickering Lydia and Josie, catch a complicated rape case this week. If you’re trying to choose between this series and “Detroit 187” for your cop fix, pick the superior “Southland” only if you’re prepared to handle the grittier L.A. police unit. Rating: DVR it for when you’re emotionally ready.
“White Collar” (USA) The unbelievably handsome Matthew Bomer was designed to saunter about in his character’s fedora and suits, but Mama’s never gotten past staring at him to figure out what this series is about. Rating: Watch it online when you’re bored at work.
“Detroit 187” (ABC) If “NYPD Blue” had an annoying little brother, it would be “Detroit 187.” Michael Imperioli has proven himself to be a capable actor, but this show doesn’t seem original enough to warrant a spot on the already overpacked schedule. That’s not to say it isn’t entertaining on a slow night, especially now that Imperioli’s Fitch is the target of the Malloy murder investigation. Rating: Wait for the rerun.


Nigeria’s president, Muhammadu Buhari came under a severe attack by president Robert Mugabe, at the ongoing African Union summit in South Africa. The Zimbabwean president slammed Nigeria and South Africa for their respective roles in voting the UN Security Council Resolution 1973 in 2011, which authorised military action against the regime of Libyan dictator Muammar Gaddafi.
Although reports from the meeting has it that Mugabe, Africa’s oldest president, did not mention the countries by name, he stated that they betrayed the continent which could never trust them. According to iol news, South Africa and Nigeria were both on the council at the time, as they occupied two of the ten, non-permanent, two-year seats.
However, South Africa is livid Zimbabwe is avoiding review of the Ezulwini Consensus and insisting on a hard-line, minimalist position on UN Security Council reform for fear of having bigger African countries like South Africa and Nigeria occupying permanent seats on the council. Source; naij.com

The history of a forest
Even Charles IV took care of our forests
He did not plant seedlings, hoe the soil, or cut trees, but he limited logging in order to protect forests. He did so in the fo1350’s by incorporating regulations in the forthcoming code of law. One of the reasons was his passion for hunting. One cannot hunt down the prey unless the woods are healthy and deep.
A significant change was introduced during the reign of Maria Theresa in the mid 18th century. New laws on forestry were enacted, and forest holders were obliged to obey. And they did, as the forest area has been growing ever since. Those who wanted to pass exams had to educate themselves first. That was the beginning of forestry education.
Austro-Hungarian law from 1852 made forests important for the economy. It is hard to believe that the same law was in force until 1960.
The rise and fall of monoculture
Which tree type yields the most wood? The one that grows fastest! Nature suffered a lot during the 19th century. Forests were not affected by air pollution, war, or collectivization. None of these unfortunate historical events harmed our forests too much. They all became the state’s property which took care of them, sometimes carefully, other times not so much. However, no one was really ready for the air pollution and acid rains of the 20th century. Extensive areas of mounting forests were destroyed and could not be saved by governmental measures.
Restitution, ownership changes
About 40% of forests were returned back to their original owners or their children after 1989. However, only few of them knew how to take care of them. That is why professional forestry specialists were appointed to give advice to private forest owners.
Nowadays, people can enjoy forests that have been cultivated by forestry specialists, scientists, and thousands of volunteers for several generations. And what is more, our forests are expanding by almost 2000 ha a year.
However, we are writing the story of a forest too. We have a forest of our own. Well, it is a harvested area of about 2 ha, located close to the town of Luhačovice, and we are going to take care of it. We are going to plant 7000 seedlings of conifers and broadleaf trees. The idea here is to return what we used in the past.

Young people picked up for the first time for shoplifting, vandalism or other minor crimes have often simply made irresponsible decisions without realizing the consequences of their actions.
This belief is at the core of PLACE, a program started in Syracuse, N.Y., about two years ago to teach juveniles charged with minor offenses about the criminal-justice system and themselves. According to James Carroll, who started and directs the program at Syracuse University, "Project PLACE forces these youths to examine situations from different perspectives. They begin to realize that their actions affect not only themselves, but their families, friends, innocent victims and their future."
The youths in the program are first offenders, 12 to 15 years old, who have been referred by the police or a probation agency. They and their parents or guardians must volunteer for the program and agree to abide by its rules. The young people attend eight 90-minute classes in which the teachers involve them in mock trials, role-playing and discussions of the juvenile-justice system, decision-making and causes of delinquency. They examine crimes from the perspective of others -- judges, prosecutors, the police -- and from their own as well.
In one session, for example, the youths talk with recent victims of property crimes.
Results for the first two years of the program have been good. Of the more than 100 youths who have participated since 1984, telephone surveys with their parents or guardians reveal that only 11 percent had been rearrested by the end of last year.

Dickey reportedly bitched about the Wilpons dragging their feet on his extension at a Christmas party; within hours his name was in trade talks and there were "sources" within the Mets organization saying that there were concerns about his arm and his knee. It wasn't a Larry Lucchino hatchet job, but there was definitely an element of a smear campaign going on.

Why Caffeine for Hair?
Caffeine is known for helping to improve blood flow to the scalp, which supports strong hair follicles. Directly rubbing hair products into the scalp helps to circulate blood there and stimulates the roots. Because of the increased blood flow to the scalp and the stimulation of the hair follicles, these tissues develop more quickly, healthily, and robustly. Caffeine’s primary benefit is that, in the early stages of hair development, it aids in promoting hair growth directly from the root. It accomplishes this by concentrating on the hormone “DHT,” which is responsible for hair loss.
Boost Your Hair Care Routine with Caffeine Shampoo.
We often turn to specialized hair care products that cater to our specific needs in our quest for healthier, more vibrant hair. Caffeine shampoo has gained popularity in recent years. Caffeine shampoo is a valuable addition to your hair care routine with its unique properties and potential benefits. In this blog post, we will explore the benefits of shampoo with caffeine and biotin, how to choose the right product for your hair concerns and type, and why it’s worth considering in your hair care regimen.
Benefits of Using a Caffeine Shampoo:
1. Promotes Hair Growth and Strength:
When Caffeine is applied physically to the scalp, it stimulates hair follicles & promotes hair growth. It blocks the DHT (dihydrotestosterone) hormone, contributing to hair loss. By inhibiting DHT, caffeine prolongs the hair growth phase and prevents premature hair loss. Additionally, caffeine improves blood circulation in the scalp, enhancing hair growth and strength.
2. Adds Shine and Volume:
Besides its hair growth benefits, caffeine enhances the overall appearance of your hair. Caffeine shampoo penetrates the hair shaft, resulting in thicker and fuller-looking hair. It promotes a healthy scalp by reducing inflammation and combating dandruff, producing shinier, healthier-looking hair.
How to Choose the Right Caffeine Hair Product:
1. Consider Your Hair Type and Concerns:
Before selecting any caffeine hair products, it’s essential to understand your hair type and specific concerns. When you have oily hair, look for a shampoo with caffeine and biotin that balances oil production and prevents greasiness. Opt for moisturising caffeine shampoo for dry or damaged hair that nourishes and repairs. If you’re experiencing hair fall or hair thinning, choose caffeine for hair growth, specifically formulated to address these concerns.
2. Check the Ingredients:
When choosing a caffeine shampoo, pay attention to the ingredients list. Look for key ingredients such as caffeine, natural extracts (like ginseng or green tea), biotin, essential oils, and protein such as keratin that promote hair health. These ingredients work synergistically with caffeine to provide optimal results. On the other hand, be mindful of irritants, such as sulphates and parabens, when you have sensitive skin or scalp. Opt for paraben-free and sulfate-free shampoo options to minimise adverse effects.
3. Read Reviews and Recommendations:
Ensure that you choose a high-quality caffeine shampoo. Researching and reading reviews from trusted sources is an excellent idea. Look for feedback on the product’s efficacy, fragrance, texture, and overall performance. Additionally, seek dermatologist advice if you have specific concerns or are unsure which caffeine hair products suit your hair type and needs.
Incorporating caffeine shampoo into your hair care routine promotes hair growth, prevents hair loss, adds shine and volume, and maintains a healthy scalp. By understanding your hair type and concerns and choosing the right product with beneficial ingredients, you can maximise the positive effects of caffeine shampoo. Boost your hair care routine with a Revetime Hairglaze Sulphate free caffeine shampoo and experience the revitalising effects.

For many cancer patients, survival depends on whether their doctors can successfully remove the tumors in their entirety. But relying on conventional imaging technologies makes this difficult, and surgeons often inadvertently leave cancer cells behind.
Researchers at the University of Washington’s Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center have developed an imaging agent that allows physicians to identify and surgically remove smaller areas of tumor tissue than is possible with standard imaging techniques. In tests, the fluorescent imaging agent helped them detect several kinds of cancer in mice, including those of the brain, prostate, and intestines. The researchers hope to begin testing the imaging system in humans in as few as 18 months.
The researchers call the agent “tumor paint” because, when injected into the bloodstream, it seems to cling to and illuminate only tumor cells. The tumor paint allows for what’s called molecular imaging: it tells researchers about a tissue’s chemical activities, rather than showing them what a tissue looks like, as do traditional imaging technologies such as magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Molecular imaging for cancer could help doctors find and remove traces of tumor cells that are invisible during surgeries guided by preoperative MRIs, the current standard.
The tumor-paint compound has two major parts. One is a protein called chlorotoxin, which binds to cancer cells. This protein, which is made by TransMolecular, a company based in Cambridge, MA, is currently in phase II clinical trials as a targeted treatment for brain cancer. To make chlorotoxin visible to near-infrared cameras, the University of Washington researchers bound it to a fluorescent protein. Near-infrared light can travel only one or two centimeters through the body, which means the University of Washington agent couldn’t be used to diagnose cancer noninvasively in people. But doctors could use near-infrared imaging during surgery to remove a tumor, or use an endoscope to look for colon cancers.
Researchers developing molecular imaging agents for cancer have run up against two major challenges, says James Olson, who led the imaging research and is a practicing physician and professor of pediatric oncology at the University of Washington. It has been difficult to synthesize imaging agents that bind only to cancer cells. And most that have been developed are limited to detecting only one cancer type.
The University of Washington agent solves both problems. It seems to target an enzyme that breaks down the tissues that surround and hold tumors in, enabling them to grow and spread. This enzyme is made by many tumor types.
Olson says that performing near-infrared imaging during surgery could have a great impact on the treatment of tumors that are not sensitive to radiation and chemotherapy, including many prostate, ovarian, and breast cancers. For many common cancers, what determines how long a patient survives is whether doctors succeed in completely removing a tumor. “You assume clusters [of cancer cells] are left behind for all [these surgeries],” says Olson.

In the Caribbean, an estimated 250,000 people are living with HIV (UNAIDS, 2013). To address this epidemic, health workers must have the latest information to guide the treatment and care of those living with HIV and AIDS. The University of the West Indies (UWI) St. Augustine campus in Trinidad and Tobago offers a one-year graduate diploma program in the management of HIV infection.
In partnership with UWI and the Caribbean HIVAIDS Regional Training Network (CHART), the International Training and Education Center for Health (I-TECH) and University of Washington Department of Global Health’s eLearning Program (eDGH) helped to transition the program to a blended learning platform — one that offers courses online as well as an in-person practicum.
Support for this transition was provided by the U.S. President’s Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR) through the Department of Health and Human Services’ Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA).
The program recently completed its first semester in this new format. With the expanded platform, students have the flexibility to access the course material “anytime and anywhere,” says Professor Zulaika Ali, Program Coordinator, “and it allows students to organize their training around their routine activities, which is important for mature working individuals.”
The conversion of courses online creates a one-of-a-kind program in the Caribbean, increasing access for mid-career health professionals working in the public sector, for non-governmental organizations (NGOs), and for commercial organizations. The program was designed for medical doctors, pharmacists and dentists, as well as nurses with bachelor degrees from any recognized university; registered nurses with a minimum of three years of experience; social workers; management staff from government ministries, private sector and NGOs; and tutors and lecturers in training institutions.
After a week-long online student orientation, students explore the following topics through online instruction and relevant resources, synchronous virtual classroom sessions, and collaborative activities and discussions. At the end of each semester, students complete an in-person exam. After completion of the online courses, students participate in an in-person practicum or dissertation. Courses include:
- Research Methods and Design
- HIV Epidemiology and Pathogenesis
- Laboratory Techniques for Diagnosis of HIV
- General Management of HIV/AIDS
- HIV Co-Infection and Other Related Issues
- HIV Health Systems
- Sexual and Reproductive Health
In addition to the flexibility this part-time program offers, students also have the opportunity to receive instruction from a hand-selected group of experts from around the globe, including professors, health care workers from the Ministry of Health and NGOs, and professionals practicing in the region.
Transition from in-person to blended learning
In late 2013, I-TECH and eDGH were approached by UWI to convert the in-person diploma program into its second, blended rendition. The team started by piloting two courses online in the Moodle learning management system (LMS). From there, they obtained critical feedback for the remainder of the conversion.
Their research showed that students felt the course content was clear, appropriate, interesting, and applicable to their work and reported a preference for recorded lectures and relevant videos, anytime/anywhere access, and interactions with instructors and peers. Likewise, faculty enjoyed building new skills through online instruction.
“We conducted two in person, on-site faculty workshops, countless Skype calls, online trainings, and emails to build the capacity of faculty to develop and teach online,” says Elizabeth Scott, Senior E-Learning Developer with eDGH. “Working with faculty was a highly rewarding experience. They were motivated and dedicated, and they worked tirelessly side-by-side with us to create the best possible experience for students.”
As part of the project, the I-TECH/eDGH team also developed a commercial for the program (see below), as well as a number of introductory materials that can be used for a variety of online and blended learning programs. Among them are a general student orientation to help learners identify skills and characteristics necessary for success in online courses and an e-learning basics module for instructors.
“The informational materials developed for the program will help to improve the delivery of health care more generally,” says Dr. Ali.
A robust transition guidebook was also assembled, containing roles and expectations, best practices, online orientation materials, processes, budgeting templates, evaluation tools, job aids, and tasks and timelines for faculty and staff for ease of handover from year to year.
“The delivery of this program in the blended format will have a tremendous impact on the quality of care delivered to people infected with and affected by HIV,” says Dr. Ali. “The Faculty of Medical Sciences looks forward to welcoming regional and international students into the program. This new platform will surely enrich the learning experience of all involved.”

As for pairing, this versatile recipe goes well with a variety of sides depending on your preferences. You could serve it with some tender green beans, roasted broccoli or cauliflower, or even a crisp salad with some tangy dressing. For a heartier meal, you could add a side of fluffy rice, homemade egg noodles or some warm crusty bread to soak up the broth.
If you’re looking for a vegan dumpling option, you can easily swap out the chicken for some tasty vegetable dumplings instead. Additionally, if you prefer more creaminess in your soup, you could also add some coconut milk to achieve that perfect texture.

Make-Ahead, Storing and Reheating
This Grilled Chicken Soup with Dumplings recipe is perfect for meal prepping and making ahead.

Storing this soup is also a breeze. Allow it to cool down to room temperature, then transfer it to an airtight container before refrigerating it for up to 3-4 days. If you want to store the soup for longer, you can freeze it for up to 3 months.
To reheat the soup, simply transfer it from the refrigerator or freezer to a pot over medium-low heat until it’s heated through – usually around 8-10 minutes for refrigerated soup and 15-20 minutes for frozen soup. Make sure to stir occasionally and adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper as necessary.
If you’re in a hurry or don’t have access to a stove, this soup can also be reheated in the microwave: place it in a microwave-safe bowl, cover with a lid or plastic wrap leaving an opening for steam to escape, then microwave on high power for 2-3 minutes. Stir halfway through heating and continue until heated through.

Tips for Perfect Results
Now that you know how to make a delicious Grilled Chicken Soup with Dumplings, it’s important to ensure that the final result is perfect. Here are some tips that I suggest trying out when making this gluten-free and dairy-free recipe.
1. Thicken chicken soup and dumplings:
The soup can be thickened with Xanthan gum which is gluten-free and safe for people with celiac disease. Make sure to use just a small amount, maybe 1/4 tsp, otherwise the soup can end up slimy.
2. Use fresh herbs and spices:
Fresh herbs and spices provide a natural burst of flavor in your dish. Add parsley, paprika, or chili flakes to give your soup an extra dimension of flavor.
3. Vary vegetables:
Include different vegetables such as green beans, broccoli or cauliflower for added nutritional value and texture variety. This way, you won’t get bored of eating the same soup every time.
4. Cut chicken breast into evenly sized pieces:
This helps the chicken cook evenly all around, leading to consistent texture throughout the soup.
5. Cook dumplings accurately:
Cook dumplings in boiling water separately from the soup so they don’t become too soggy or swollen, then add them to the hot but not boiling soup once they’re fully cooked.
6. Adjust seasoning to taste:
While cooking, keep checking for seasoning and adjust according to your taste preferences.
7. Experiment with different types of flour blends:
Using rice flour, cornmeal flour or almond flour blend will make your dumplings texture more unique while still keeping the whole recipe gluten-free!
Overall, remember that cooking is all about experimentation, finding what works best for you and enjoying yourself while doing it! These tips are just starting points for perfecting your Grilled Chicken Soup with Dumplings recipe. Tap into your creativity and feel free to try new things along the way!
Before we wrap up this article, let’s go over some frequently asked questions about this Gluten and Dairy-Free Grilled Chicken Soup with Dumplings recipe. If you have any more questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to ask me in the comments section. Let’s dive in!
What is a good thickener for chicken and dumplings?
Hey guys, let me share a tip to make your chicken and dumplings just the way you want it. I suggest adding a mixture of cornstarch and cool water to thicken the soup to your desired consistency. Take 2 tablespoons of cornstarch and mix it well with a cup of cool water. Once done, ensure the soup is boiling nicely and stir in the cornstarch-water mix. This will give you a thicker texture in no time!
How to thicken chicken and dumplings without cream of chicken?
If you’re looking to add some thickness and substance to your chicken and dumplings, a quick and easy method is to incorporate flour into the mixture. By adding a few tablespoons of flour and stirring until thoroughly blended, you’ll achieve a satisfying, hearty consistency. Flour or cornstarch are typically used as thickeners in soups and stews.
Does milk thicken chicken and dumplings?
When preparing chicken and dumplings, one can opt to thicken the dish using different techniques. One possible way to add richness and a thicker texture to the dish is by including milk in the recipe. On the other hand, flour or cornstarch could also be used to thicken chicken and dumplings. Ultimately, it is up to the cook’s preference to determine which method will yield the best results for their recipe.
How do you thicken chicken and dumplings with milk and flour?
To thicken a soup that turned out too watery, or to create a gravy-like consistency, you can make a slurry by mixing flour or cornstarch with cold milk or water. Simply blend the ingredients in a small bowl until you obtain a smooth and thin paste with no lumps. This will help you achieve the desired texture for your soup, without affecting its flavor.
In conclusion, this grilled chicken soup with dumplings is more than just a comforting and delicious dinner option. It is a nourishing meal that will leave you feeling satisfied and happy.

What happens when flood waters reach oil fields in which crude has been seeping out of the ground unchecked for years? Answer: South Sudan’s “oil deluge” – now spreading over country.
Floods washing oil, its wastes and chemicals all over South Sudan. When the waters recede, the pollution stays. To further poison farmland and water – and thus health and homes and livelihoods of people. Not to mention the Nile and Sudd and climate. Bravo government and industry!
Dire situation looms as floodwaters contaminated in Ayod County
Local authorities in Ayod County of Jonglei State have warned of a health crisis due to water contamination caused by suspected untapped crude oil in the north-western outskirts of Ayod town.
James Chuol Jiek, the Ayod County commissioner, told Radio Tamazuj that the situation could deteriorate as the pollution has continued without intervention since last week.
“The floodwaters all over the area of Lowiir, Pagil Payam have turned reddish. The pollution was detected five days ago by fishermen in that area,” Commissioner Chuol said.
He called on the state and national authorities to intervene by assessing the area before the situation worsens.
“The pollution might have been triggered by the floods because no extraction has ever taken place here,” Commissioner Chuol said. “Now some people have started vacating but we do not know the extent of the damage so we are calling for an intervention.”
Simon Unite Khor, a youth leader in Ayod, said the population has been affected and called on the government to intervene.
“The animal and human populations have been affected. Some people are vacating on their own using canoes so we want the government to assess the area then it will be seen what needs to be done,” he said.
For his part, William Kuol Chol, the state gender and social welfare minister said they have been informed about the situation in Ayod and that experts will soon be dispatched there to carry out an assessment.

The main cause of COPD is long-term exposure to a substance that irritates and damages the airways. The most common cause is smoking, but there are actually a number of different things that can lead to COPD.
Smoking is the number one cause of COPD in the U.S. COPD typically occurs in people over 40 who either currently smoke or have smoked in the past. In fact, around 90% of individuals with COPD have smoked at some time in their lives.
Quitting smoking is one of the most helpful things one can do to positively affect COPD. While it may not be easy to do, there are many resources that can help. Visit smokefree.gov to find strategies and support for quitting.
Exposure to certain lung irritants, like secondhand smoke, dust, indoor and outdoor air pollutants, and chemical fumes, can lead to COPD. This can be caused by inhaling small amounts of these particles over a long period of time, or by inhaling large quantities of these particles over a shorter period of time.
A rare condition called alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency may also put some people at risk for COPD. People with this condition do not have enough of a protein called alpha-1 antitrypsin in their bloodstream. This protein helps to protect the lungs, and if alpha-1 antitrypsin levels fall too low, it may put the lungs at risk for developing COPD.
It is possible that a history of certain respiratory infections in childhood, such as pneumonia, could put individuals at higher risk for COPD later in life.
By knowing the symptoms of COPD, you’ll be better prepared to help your loved one proactively manage the condition. The major symptoms of COPD are:
Not everyone will have all of the symptoms of COPD, and some symptoms, such as shortness of breath, may only appear at certain times, like during exercise. Speak with the doctor if you notice that your loved one is experiencing any new or worsening symptoms.
Patients with COPD may also be at risk for certain other conditions, including, but are not limited to:
Work with the doctor to monitor your loved one for any of these conditions, and ask what you can do to help prevent them from becoming problematic.

MPs attack risky online firms offering 7% returns from lending savers' cash to strangers to buy cars and even phones
Leading MPs have called for an investigation into risky websites that lend savers’ cash to strangers.
Money Mail has revealed how peer-to-peer firms are offering savers 7 per cent returns - then bundling their cash into enormous unsecured loans.
In some cases, they are issuing loans up to £261,250 for cars and home improvements.
Risky? Zopa has revealed it will offer loans to people buying mobile phones
In the past few weeks, Zopa, the pioneer of this type of website, has revealed it will offer loans to people buying mobile phones.
Peer-to-peer deals are risky because investors’ money can be lost if the deal goes sour.
The Treasury Select Committee is concerned that savers may not realise the dangers.
Its chairman, Andrew Tyrie, has written to the chief executive of the City regulator asking it to consider stricter rules on peer-to-peer.
Savers sick of paltry High Street rates have been pouring £9million a day into these sites. That is set to soar as they can now be classed as Isas, meaning the interest earned is tax-free.
Mr Tyrie’s letter, which follows our exposé, warns that unsecured loans require ‘closer scrutiny’ by the Financial Conduct Authority.
It says: ‘To what extent investors would benefit from stronger consumer protection needs careful thought.
'Poorly informed investors may be left with a false sense of security about the balance of risks versus returns.’

Pandora Hearts and I have a strained relationship. The world, the atmosphere, and the characters all strike me as interesting and leave me with a genuine sense of wonder, however the meandering pacing and overly complicated plot threatens to turn me off from the series altogether. Five volumes in, and Jun Mochizuki has made strides in speeding things up, finally delivering a revelation that readers can sink their teeth into.
The book thrusts readers into the action, with Oz still trapped in an alternate reality, trying to free Alice from her comatose state, while Xerxes and the Cheshire Cat duke it out. The images placed before Oz are frightening and threaten to unhinge him, but because of his bond with Alice, he pushes forward, picking through the tangles of her mind until he is reunited with her.
Afterward, Mochizuki espouses more clues as to what Oz’s sin is, though as usual it boils down to characters ruminating about it rather than discussing it outright. The clear star f this volume however is Vincent, whose sly personality makes it obvious he knows more than he’s letting on. His manipulation of the hatter and the rest of the cast adds to the intrigue, and finally gives us a face behind the significant events thus far.
The last two volumes of Pandora Hearts have seen significant improvement all around. The story is heading in an interesting direction and the character’s motives are finally becoming somewhat accessible. There is still a treasure trove of mysteries to be sorted through, but Mochizuki finally seems to have found her rhythm, and as a result the series is picking up steam.


Prime Minister Narendra Modi will inaugurate the “iconic” Atal Tunnel in Himachal Pradesh’s Rohtang at 10 am on Saturday. The 9 km long Manali-Leh Tunnel is the world’s longest underground highway. Read on to know PM modi’s inauguration ceremony itinerary for today.
HERE’S PM MODI’S INAUGURATION CEREMONY ITINERARY:
9:10 am: PM Modi will arrive in Manali Sasse Helipad on a Mi-17 helicopter
After reaching Manali, PM Modi will head towards Sasse Guest House via road.
9:35 am: PM Modi will depart for South Portal
From 10 am to 11:45 am: The opening ceremony will take place
11:50 am: PM Modi will reach North Portal via the tunnel
From 12 pm to 12:45 pm: PM Modi will hold a public meeting in Sissu
12:50 pm: PM Modi will reach Solanganala and address BJP leaders
Terming the tunnel project as “iconic” on Friday, PM Modi tweeted: “Fulfilling Atal Ji’s dream of top quality infrastructure. Will be in Himachal Pradesh tomorrow to dedicate the Atal Tunnel in Rohtang to the nation. This is an iconic infrastructure project built at a height of 10,000 feet.”
In another tweet, PM Modi said: “The Atal Tunnel will solve a major problem of connectivity in the region. It has several salient features and will further ‘Ease of Living’ for local citizens. Will also join public programmes in Sissu in Lahaul Spiti and at Solang Valley.”
The historic decision to build a strategic tunnel under the Rohtang pass was taken by the then Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee in June 2000. The Atal Tunnel is a strategically important construction and is expected to give a major boost to tourism in Lahaul-Spiti, thus creating employment opportunities.
On December 24, 2019, the central government under the leadership of PM Narendra Modi decided to name the Rohtang tunnel as Atal Tunnel to honour the former Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee on his 95th birth anniversary.
