The band describe the record as the best they've ever done.
Plain White T's have gone independent for the first time in more than a decade, releasing their self-funded seventh album 'American Nights' this year and finally experiencing full satisfaction in their music - because more heart and soul has gone into it than ever before.
Plain White T's go independent with 'American Nights'
The creative process for 'American Nights' began several years ago when the 'Hey There Delilah' hitmakers were still signed to Hollywood Records. The record (which looked marginally different then to what it does now) would've been released on the label had the band not decided to move into independent territory, taking their material with them.
When Plain White T's landed a massive trans-Atlantic hit with 'Hey There Delilah', you'd have been forgiven for thinking they would become a huge success story. Unfortunately for them, this has not been the case, and whilst they're certainly no one-hit wonder, it's fair to say their profile has since declined. Now onto album seven, the release will be supported with a quartet of North American shows in April.
The title track that gives this record its name opens the album and it's difficult not to think that it could be a One Direction track. just not a very good one. Up-tempo guitar pop, it fails to inspire in the slightest, so the arrival of 'Pause' is welcome. Using a tried and trusted "oh oh" hook, it's simple and does the required job so well they revisit it later on 'Dance Off-Time', a surprisingly pleasant turn toward folk. Much of the remainder of this release is rather ineffectual, but 'Stay' and 'Someday You're Gonna Love Me' stand out for the wrong reasons. The former is light soul in which they bizarrely ask a girl who has done them wrong to love them, while the latter is downright creepy. Convincing yourself that someone you love will love you one day is just about acceptable, but not when the opening lines twice reference her to go be young and not understanding - it's like Gary Puckett & The Union all over again. With this being the strongest impression made, it is safe to say that Plain White T's are unlikely to be back in the limelight any time soon. The terrible record sleeve also doesn't do this album any favours.

The band also unveil a new single entitled 'Pause'.
Plain White T's are set to return with a brand new album entitled 'American Nights', featuring upbeat first single 'Pause'. It marks their first independent release for fourteen years, and judging by the new song, they're all the better for it.
Plain White T's to unveil new album 'American Nights'
They're still best known for their Grammy nominated, multi-Platinum number one single 'Hey There Delilah' from 2006, but that doesn't mean that Plain WhiteT's is a band with little to offer. Far from the guitar based indie melodies of previous years, 'American Nights' sees them at their most pop, with 'Pause' offering lively vocal melodies, driving synths and a much gentler guitar feel, while still giving a kick with an energetic rhythm. In other words, if 'Pause' is anything to go buy, 'American Nights' will be chock full of summery anthems.

Bursting from Illinois back in 2006, Plain White T's were able to garner a huge cult following after their huge hit single Hey There Delilah. Now, attempting to prove that they aren't a one hit wonder, the boys are back with Wonders of the Younger. Whilst, technically, this is actually their 6th album, it's the second time they have hit our shores. Establishing a more gentle and experimental record than their previous offerings, this is a radical new sound for the band.

Plain White T's
Every Second Counts
Hot on the heels of their recent Number 2 single 'Hey There Delilah' is this record from Illinois' Plain White T's. The quintet's forth album, it is only recently that they made a mainstream breakthrough in their homeland, which in turn has led to interest on this side of the Atlantic, escalated by a recent appearance on the Lock Up Stage at the Carling Festival.
'Every Second Counts' is opened by the aforementioned hit in subdued fashion with a gentle acoustic track that has proved to be a great sing-a-long track. It isn't representational of the band's style, which is perhaps best described as a crossbreed of punk-pop and that dreaded tag of emo. 'Come Back To Me' is just one example of this, mixing gentle guitar melodies with power chords and vocals from Tom Higgenson that aren't unlike those of Fall Out Boy's Patrick Stump. Those who enjoy it will be glad to know there's plenty more in the shape of 'Gimme A Chance', 'So Damn Clever' and the all out pop of 'Figure It Out'. The latter of these has a slight Latino flavour and a rolling chorus very similar to that of The Strokes' 'Hard To Explain'. The formula does get repetitive quickly though and tracks like 'You And Me' and 'Friends Don't Let Friends Dial Drunk' are nothing more than filler.
Surprisingly for a group that injects most of their songs with a decent amount of energy, it is the dreaded power ballads that are the better offerings to be found here. 'Take You There' ends the record is sweet, but dwarfed by the grand 'Making A Memory'. With a twist of blues, it has a chorus that will get glow sticks (lighters are so last year) being waved from side to side and mobile phones transmitting to friends not in attendance. Like the rest of the record it won't turn your musical world on its head, but it is a moment of quality on a collection that often blends together. Far from making every second count, it is hard to see the Plain White T's being much more than a flavour of the month, though they won't disappear into complete obscurity either.

PUNE: Auditors from the municipal corporations and the district collectorate will soon be appointed at all Covid-19 hospitals. They will pre-audit the bills given to Covid-19 patients at the time of their discharge to avoid complaints about overcharging.
Several complaints have come to the fore in the last three months about exorbitant bills that patients have received from hospitals.
They raised the issue on social media and registered written complaints. The district administration has taken cognisance and will appoint auditors from various departments to “pre-audit” the bills. The work of the pre-auditor is to check the bills before it reaches the patient According to the officials, nearly 26 of the 400 bills, where patients were charged over Rs 2 lakh from various hospitals, are under scrutiny.
“We have auditors from corporations and collectorates who will be appointed at the hospitals so that all the bills can be double-checked as per the government capping charges. Only then will the patient have to make the payment,” the district officials said.
State health minister Rajesh Tope had also backed the appointment of such auditors from the administration so that billing issues can be resolved.
Advocate and activist Yogesh Mehta told TOI that the state government has failed to give wide publicity to various health schemes, the maximum rates which private hospitals can charge, the list of empanelled hospitals where the treatment is free, and what items and services can be charged and what cannot be charged.
“A patient ends up paying more than Rs 10 to Rs 12 lakh, and is clueless whom to approach for redressal. Just as there is a control room number for beds, there should be one to attend to complaints of exorbitant bills,”he said.
The government should bring all private hospitals under the Mahatma Jotiba Phule Jan Arogya Yojana to make the schemes more meaningful and to avoid unjustified profiteering by those private hospitals who have chosen to stay out of the purview of these schemes, he added.
An official in-charge of this scheme in the state told TOI that hospitals will be de-empanelled or served notices in case of bill related malpractice.
“As of now, we need more hospitals to care for Covid-19 patients, so a warning is being given. We have taken note of the complaints and corrective measures are in place. However, if there is an issue, further action can be taken by the local authority__ the collector or the municipal commissioner,” the official said.
The state is also likely to extend the capping on hospital charges and rates for Covid and non-Covid treatment in private hospitals for another three months.
The scheme that allowed local authorities to take control of 80%beds in private hospitals and regulate treatment costs expires on August 31.

WASHINGTON — Forget kale, wheatgrass and cayenne pepper — the main ingredient going into today’s health drink of choice is bone.
For centuries, bone broth has been a staple in many home kitchens: Mothers nourish their children with the homemade liquid; some cultures use it as a palate cleanser between courses, and others use it as a digestive aid.
But now, the simple simmered stock is making a mainstream comeback.
Last year, New York chef Marco Canora opened Brodo, a take-away window out of his East Village restaurant that serves to-go cups of bone broth to long lines of New York models, hipsters, health nuts and professional athletes. (Yes, broth is even a staple of the Los Angeles Lakers’ diet). More recently, celebrity chef and Bravo TV personality Tom Colicchio named bone broth one of the hottest food trends of 2015.
The health benefits explain broth’s popularity.
The New York Times reports that the collagen, amino acids and minerals released from the bones as the broth cooks down can provide relief for inflammatory diseases and digestive problems. Additionally, Washington Post contributor Casey Seidenberg says the calcium, magnesium and phosphorus in bone broth helps bones grow and repair, and the collagen and gelatin help to strengthen, hair, nails and skin.
Washingtonians anxious to get their hands on a cup of broth no longer have to trek up to New York. Halsa, a new health-focused restaurant in D.C.’s Brookland neighborhood, serves the beverage, and on Monday, Red Apron’s Penn Quarter location added broth to its offerings.
For Nate Anda, founder and butcher at Red Apron, adding broth to the menu was one of the easiest additions he’s ever made. That’s because he’s been using bones in his whole-animal butchery to make and sell stock from the beginning.
“We have the space; we have the bones, so we’ve always made these stocks that are high in gelatin and flavor,” he says.
But it wasn’t until a friend told Anda how much bone broth helped bring relief to her auto-immune disorders that he decided to sell heated broth for sipping, in addition to the cartons of cooking stock available in the store’s refrigerated section.
“We didn’t have to change anything. I add salt to them to be served, but this is the stuff we’ve been selling for the last two years,” he says.
The broth served at Red Apron, Brodo and Halsa is different from the conventional stocks that line store shelves. Commercially prepared broths are often high in additives and sodium, and bouillon cubes and other stock flavorings often contain MSG, The Washington Post reports.
Anda offers three varieties of broth at Red Apron — beef and pork, each of which he cooks down for 36 hours, and chicken, which he cooks for 24 hours.
Customers interested in trying a cup of broth can order the beverage in 8-ounce and 12-ounce pours (which cost $4.25 and $5.50, respectively), and for an additional 50 cents can opt for a sachet of fresh spice blends (lemon and thyme; turmeric, orange and cinnamon; basil, ginger, jalapeno and lime; and fennel, oregano, lemon, garlic and chili flakes) to add an additional flavor element.
“If someone doesn’t like the idea of just drinking broth, they have something to bring into play,” says Anda, who adds that the sachet of basil, ginger, jalapeno and lime is a play on pho, where the lemon and thyme is a more traditional soup flavor.
“And the Italian one has all of the things that go into my meatballs,” Anda says.
So far, Anda has seen more demand for broth from the local paleo community and less from those chasing the trend. Anda has even started to drink broth routinely himself, often as a substitute for a late-afternoon coffee.
“It’s adding to you, as opposed to bringing fats and sugars into your diet,” he says. “I do sleep better because I’m not putting caffeine in my body late in the afternoon.”
And while a flavorful cup of steamy broth is the perfect comforting treat on a cold, snowy January afternoon, Anda wonders whether people will be as eager to sip broth during the region’s warmer months.
“I don’t mind the idea of it being a trend, but I’m interested to see what it’s like in June or July, whether or not someone wants to drink it,” Anda says.

When Joel Embiid hit a full-speed, circus layup at the end of the second quarter of the Sixers' Game 2 playoff victory over the Washington Wizards, he unleashed a nostalgic salute to the iconic wrestling group D-Generation X.
It's a bit risqué for family entertainment — and it's not the first time Embiid has done it — but then again most preteen boys in the late 90s probably got a stern talking-to at school after casually aping what they saw every week on WWF's "Monday Night Raw." It's one of those gestures that slipped through our cultural censors and grudgingly became tolerated as a taunt that doesn't actually mean what it literally says, although it's still pretty dicey and not advisable to use in 99.99% of settings. Having said that, both women and men seem to favor saying it in proper comedic doses.
Following the win Wednesday night, Embiid told reporters that the celebration came from his adoration of D-Generation X. Shawn Michaels, a founding member of DX, is one of Embiid's wrestling heroes.
"Triple H and Shawn Michaels are my favorite wrestlers. Their group was my favorite and that's what they used to do," Embiid said. "Also, with the refs' sign for an and-1, it just makes sense to combine the both of them. I'm just enjoying myself. At the end of the day, I missed the crowd."
Joel Embiid is 27 years old and a father. "Troel" Embiid, his alter ego, is about 10 — and it's fun to see him having fun on the court, as long as the Sixers are winning.
The DX homage apparently caught the attention of the 55-year-old Michaels, who is now retired from wrestling. Michaels tweeted back at Embiid on Friday morning.
…and if you’re not down with that!!!! https://t.co/GptODkdNnF— Shawn Michaels (@ShawnMichaels) May 28, 2021
This was probably second to an NBA championship on Embiid's list of life goals. Congrats, big guy.
Sixers fans have been enjoying the ride early in these NBA playoffs, and one devoted fan even spliced together a video mixing Embiid highlights with the iconic DX music and Attitude-era wrestling footage.
The Sixers will be in Washington on Saturday night for Game 3 against the Wizards.

Pharmacognostical studies of in vivo grown garden plant and in vitro generated plantlets from nodal explants of Justicia adhatoda L.
Author(s): Miss. Bhawna, Santosh Kumar*, Rajeev Kumar
Justicia adhatoda L. (Family: Acanthaceae) has been exploited in India because of rich source of polyphenolic compounds which are used in stress related therapy. The Pharmacognostical study includes preliminary phytochemical screening of alkaloids, phenols, flavonoids and saponins which were confirmed in both in vivo grown garden plants as well as in vitro generated plantlets of J adhatoda. Explants inoculated on MS medium supplemented with different combination of auxins and cytokinins were successfully employed; combination of NAA (0.5�?µg/ml) and BA (2.0�?µg/ml) for nodal explants was found to be effective concentration to obtain plant regenerants from nodal explants. Rooting in the regenerants was also successfully initiated on transfer into half MS basal medium, supplemented with IBA (1.0 �?µg/ml). Addition of ADS (0.5�?µg/ml) in the above combinations of phytohormones induced multiple shoot from nodal explants. After hardening for 35 days in highly humidified acclimatized room, nearly 70 % of rooted plantlets survived in the field. Phytochemical screening revealed the presence of alkaloids, phenolic compounds, flavonoids and saponins in the methanol and aqueous extracts of both in vivo grown garden plants and in vitro genereated plantlet samples. Further analysis of the extracts on Thin Layer Chromatography and spectrophotometric estimation confirmed the presence of vasicine alkaloids in these extract samples with marked difference in quantity.

Kessingland teenager refused to pay taxi fare
PUBLISHED: 18:14 25 March 2011
Archant © 2009
AN unemployed teenager called a taxi to take him to a job centre then failed to pay the driver, a court was told.
Craig Codling, 19, booked the taxi to take him to the Jobcentre in Lowestoft but, when it dropped him back home at White’s Lane, Kessingland, he refused to pay the £25 fare.
On Tuesday, Codling pleaded guilty at Lowestoft Magistrates Court to making off without paying on February 18.
Wayne Ablett, prosecuting said: “He (Codling) said he had no money on him. He locked himself in the house and would not come out.”
Codling told the court there had been family problems at the time. However, he now he wanted to join the Army.
Codling also admitted resisting or obstructing a police officer who turned up to arrest him.
He was ordered to pay £50 compensation to the taxi driver for the lost fare and time wasted.
He was also placed on a two-month community order with a night-time curfew.

The IIC Honorary Fellowship is a distinguished honor awarded in recognition of an individual’s outstanding contribution to heritage conservation, with the first Honorary Fellowship awarded to Edward Forbes in 1958. Among the luminaries of our field who have received this are George Stout, Caroline and Sheldon Keck, and Paulo and Laura Mora, to name just a few. We highlight these names to you specifically as this year’s honoree has known and respected these individuals personally, along with many others who are listed as IIC Honorary Fellows. She has also had the honor to work with them and to record their oral histories for posterity. It is thus befitting and with deep appreciation that the IIC awards this distinguished honor to Joyce Hill Stoner, paintings conservator and Edward F. and Elizabeth Goodman Rosenberg Professor in Material Culture at the University of Delaware.
Joyce Hill Stoner received her B.A. from William and Mary in 1968, with a major in fine arts and honors project in painting conservation, her M.A. from the NYU Institute of Fine Arts in 1970, and her diploma in conservation from the NYU Conservation Center in 1973. She was a Kress Visiting Scholar with John Brealey at the Metropolitan Museum (1980) and a Getty Visiting Scholar with Andrea Rothe at the Getty Museum (1985). In 1995 she completed a Ph.D. in art history from the University of Delaware, focusing on the techniques of paintings, lithographs, and decorated interiors by James McNeill Whistler.
As an educator in the field of conservation, Joyce initiated a pre-conservation program at Virginia Commonwealth University in 1975, became the head paintings conservator at Winterthur in 1976, was head of the conservation from 1980-82, and served as director of Winterthur/University of Delaware Program in Art Conservation (WUDPAC) from 1982 to 1997. She became the chair in 1990 when WUDPAC was combined with the new Ph.D. Program in Art Conservation Research, which Joyce championed through University and Winterthur Academic Committee approval. She was promoted to a full professorship in 1996 and resigned as chair in 1997 and is now the director of the UD Preservation Studies Doctoral Program. In recognition of her invaluable leadership, contributions, and dedication as a mentor and educator, WUDPAC established a named fellowship in her honor in 2016.
Stoner has written over 120 articles or book chapters and has co-edited a multi-author 890-page Routledge book on The Conservation of Easel Paintings, originally published in November 2012 with a newly revised edition on its way to press. In 1975, under her leadership and with the support of the board of directors of FAIC, the Oral History Project was created to archive transcripts of interviews with conservators, conservation scientists, and related professionals. Over the years more than 100 conservators and students worldwide have assisted in the project by conducting interviews on a volunteer basis, with more than 400 transcripts currently on file, and more contributions being added every year. Joyce has served as coordinator of the FAIC Oral History Project from its start in 1975 to the present, championing and preserving this invaluable record on the history of the field.
As paintings conservator her notable projects have including being senior conservator for the team treating Whistler's Peacock Room at the Freer from 1987 to 1992, supervising the treatment of a 19' x 60' N. C. Wyeth mural in 1998, and carrying out treatments for the Freer Gallery of Art, Colonial Williamsburg, the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts, the Brandywine River Museum, the Wyeth family, and various private collectors. She continues an active program of treating paintings in the presence of the undergraduate and graduate students she is supervising and is a mentor to generations of paintings conservators.
Her portrait was painted by American artist Andrew Wyeth, whom she advised and supported in her conservation work, and with whom she shared a treasured friendship. As an art historian, Joyce guest curated the show FACTORY WORK: WARHOL, WYETH, AND BASQUIAT and wrote for and coordinated authors for the catalogue. The show appeared in three venues in 2006-07. She co-curated another exhibition, WYETH VERTIGO, for the Shelburne Museum, summer 2013 which was chosen as “Exhibition of the Week” by The Week magazine.
For the field, Stoner has served as executive director for the Foundation of the American Institute for Conservation (FAIC) from 1975-1979, managing editor of Art and Archaeology Technical Abstracts (1969-1985), and as a grant reviewer for NMA, IMS, FAIC, Kress, and Getty Grant Program. She served as vice president of the College Art Association, on the IIC Council (as vice president), on the Delaware State Arts Council (until 2010), and continues to serve on the Wyeth Foundation for American Art, the AATA Board of Editors for the Getty Conservation Institute, and the U.S. Senate Art Advisory Committee.
Stoner was awarded the AIC University Products Lifetime Achievement Award in 2003, the AIC Paintings Specialty Group Award "for outstanding contributions to the field of paintings conservation" and the College Art Association and Heritage Preservation Award for Distinction in Scholarship and Conservation, both in 2011.
For those who know Joyce personally, we are astounded by her boundless energy and commitment to the field and her students, all while having a second passion in music with some rather impressive theater accomplishments. To date, she’s written lyrics, music and/or scripts for almost 30 stage productions. Notably, in 1974, Joyce wrote the lyrics and most of the music for the off-Broadway show I’ll Die If I Can’t Live Forever, which the New York Times called “the best mini-musical in town.” Her other productions include Turn Back Columbus (Please Don’t Discover Us!) (Toronto); Murder at the Last Resort (Cleveland); in NYC: 1-900-THE-SHOW, As She Dreams It, and The Roswell Follies: An Alien Revue (NYC Fringe Festival). Additional musicals concerned Whistler, N.C. Wyeth, C.W. Peale, women’s suffrage, and the underground railroad. She is a member of the Dramatists Guild and was in the Lehman Engel BMI workshop in the 1970s. Her recent work includes writing the lyrics for the University of Delaware’s acclaimed musical Campus Chatter and collaborating with composer and producer Xiang Gao as lyricist for Shanghai Sonatas, which was a workshop on Broadway in 2019.
Joyce has been a member of the IIC since 1970 and a Fellow in good standing since 1977. We are proud to acknowledge her 50th anniversary as an IIC member with an Honorary Fellowship for her remarkable accomplishments, while toasting her continued dedication and contributions to the field of conservation. Please join us in sending our sincerest praise and recognition to an outstanding Fellow, conservator, teacher, mentor, leader, actor, lyricist, and colleague as we place her name among our most distinguished IIC Fellows.

Cheap Flights to Greenland
Flights to Greenland
Greenland, situated between the Atlantic and Arctic Oceans, is an autonomous country and park of the Kingdom of Denmark. Although part of the continent of North America, the country is politically and culturally linked with Europe. Greenland is the largest continental island in the world and home to the world’s largest national park, the Northeast Greenland National Park.
Why Travel to Greenland
Despite its name evoking images of wild fields, lush meadows and pastoral landscapes, Greenland is actually a country with mostly icy surroundings and enjoys frigid cold weather thanks to its geographical location in the far North. However, Greenland does have some magnificent mountain scenery with gorgeous wildflowers spared from the ice frost. It can also boast of some amazing fjords and sheer cliffs.
For a break from the cold weather, head over to Uunartoq in Southern Greenland where you’ll find the only hot springs warm enough to bathe in. It is home to three naturally heated springs set against a backdrop of majestic mountain peaks and drifting icebergs. This is an activity you’ll definitely do not want to miss.
Another popular activity in Greenland is viewing the magnificent dancing northern lights of the Aurora Borealis. This natural phenomenon is an amazing experience where from early autumn, the night sky is illuminated with the green and purple glow of the northern lights. While this phenomenon occurs year round in Greenland, it cannot be seen during summer season due to the midnight sun. If you want to view the Aurora Borealis, visit Greenland during the months from September through early April when the nights are dark and clear.
Best Time to Visit Greenland
Before booking that flight ticket to Greenland, it is always good to know when the best time to travel is. Deciding on when would largely depend on what you want or plan to do while on holiday. Visiting during the summer season from June through August would give you bright, warm and long days due to the midnight sun. This season is good for outdoor activities such as hiking up the mountains or sailing on the fjords. Winter in Greenland, which is from December through March, is a good season for those wanting to go dogsledding or to experience the beauty of the northern lights. Both spring and autumn seasons in Greenland are quick and somewhat unpredictable. Summer in Greenland actually happens quickly where one day you can see the snow melting away and the next day you’ll find the nights brighter and nature begin to grow. Meanwhile in autumn, it is more unpredictable where you many experience all three seasons – from long bright days to beautiful autumn colours to skies dark enough for the northern lights.
How to Fly to Greenland
Greenland has several airports located across the country. Some of the busiest airports in Greenland include Kangerlussuaq Airport (SFJ) in Qeqqata, Nuuk Airport (GOH) and Ilulissat Airport (JAV) in Qaasuitsup. Several airlines operate domestic and international flights to and from Greenland at these airports such as Air Greenland and Air Iceland.

Three out of four adults think Facebook is making society worse
New CNN Poll Conducted by SSRS
Roughly three-quarters of adults believe Facebook is making American society worse, a new CNN poll conducted by SSRS finds, with about half saying they know somebody who was persuaded to believe in a conspiracy theory because of the site’s content.
Americans say, 76% to 11%, that Facebook makes society worse, not better, according to the survey. Another 13% say it has no effect either way. That broadly negative appraisal holds across gender, age and racial lines. Even frequent Facebook users — those who report using the site at least several times a week — say 70% to 14% that the social network harms, rather than helps, US society. Although majorities across parties say Facebook is doing more harm than good, that feeling spikes among Republicans (82%).
Among the majority overall who think Facebook is worsening society, however, there’s less of an overwhelming consensus on whether or not the platform itself is primarily to blame: 55% say that the way some people use Facebook is more at fault, with 45% saying it’s more due to the way Facebook itself is run.

What is the reason for Dr. Kaye's practice?
The medical practice of Dr. Joseph Kaye and his associates was founded in 2009 to meet a clear need: Patients want to achieve optimal health and wellness at all ages - even to slow or reverse the symptoms of aging. We strive to provide the means for patients to achieve these goals.
How do you differ from the traditional model of medicine?
Our current medical system is designed todiagnose and treat the symptoms of disease when it is in its final or acute stage. It is not designed to create wellness or to effectively prevent disease. It is much easier to prevent disease than to cure it. We strive not only to diagnose disease in its early stages when it can be more easily reversed but to prevent it. We use the techniques of functional medicine to optimize the functions of the body systems.
How does Dr. Kaye do this?
Dr. Kaye's practice uses the technology and medical science of the 21st century to optimize wellness and find the roots of disease, particularly the chronic conditions that are only treated symptomatically by mainstream medicine. We are not focused on symptoms so much as finding the root causes of illness and reversing them. This is the basis of functional medicine. We take an individual approach to each patient.
Who can benefit from this approach?
The beauty of our method is that everyone can be made healthier, regardless of their condition. Some will be cured; everyone will have an improvement in their health and a better understanding of their illness and how their lifestyle impacts it.
What conditions have you treated?
Our patients are seeking advice and help with issues such as:
- weight loss
- healthy aging
- bioidentical hormone replacement
- expert nutritional testing and guidance
- diagnosis and treatment of chronic illness
- aesthetic services such as Botox and fillers
- sexual Enhancement via the O-Shot™, P-Shot™, Bocox™, and ED Shockwave Therapy
- preconception Wellness Evaluations
We have successfully treated patients with:
- premature symptoms of aging
- autoimmune disease
- dementia/mild cognitive impairment
- heavy metal toxicity
- memory loss
- food allergies/sensitivities
- acid reflux/GERD
- irritable bowel/parasites/dysbiosis
- chronic fatigue
- congestive heart failure
- atrial fibrillation
- Hashimotos Thyroiditis
- adrenal fatigue
- polycystic ovarian syndrome
- diabetes/insulin resistance/metabolic syndrome
- atherosclerosis/high cholesterol
- andropause (low testosterone)
- migraine headache
- hair loss
- erectile dysfunction
- urinary leakage (women)
- prostate enlargement
- yeast infections
- and many other conditions
"The doctor of the future will give no medicine but will interest his patients in the care of the human frame, in diet and in the cause and prevention of disease."

By MICHAEL P. RELLAHAN
WEST CHESTER — Douglas Michael Pettit worked for three months as an assistant manager at the McDonald’s on Lancaster Avenue in Downingtown.
In that time, however, he must have missed the memo about the video surveillance system in the restaurant.
Pettit was arrested in April after committing two break-ins at the McDonald’s, at one point taking more than $1,000 from the night deposits. Police were able to identify Pettit as the culprit when his former co-workers recognized him from a videotape of the security video.
Judge Howard F. Riley sentenced Pettit, a U.S. Navy veteran and Downingtown native with an extensive criminal record, including drug possession and statutory sexual assault charges in 2001, to 2 to 4 years in a state prison.
The prosecutor in the case had said that Pettit’s continued lawbreaking showed he was not serious about reforming.
“This is a defendant who is not a child anymore,” said Assistant District Attorney Michelle Frei. Nothing the system has done in the past had “gotten his attention or deterred his criminal activities.”
“He has basically worked his way into a state sentence,” Frei told Riley.
However, Pettit’s attorney said that his client would not be served by confining him to a prison without assistance for both his mental health issues and drug addiction.
Thomas Rassman, saying that Pettit was basically a hopeless cocaine addict, asked Riley to order treatment for his client. “This is just a matter of a serious drug issue,” he said. “Unfortunately the demon has got a hold of him and won’t let go.”
Pettit, 40, of Downingtown, pleaded guilty to two counts of burglary, both second-degree felonies.
Pettit, who was on probation for a drug conviction at the time of his arrest, had worked at the McDonald’s from January to March 2008.
According to the arrest affidavits filed by borough police in the case, the first break-in occurred on March 26. Police were called to the restaurant around 4 a.m.
The manger, Sue Gallagher, told police she had arrived at the scene at 3:30 a.m. and saw a rear service door ajar. When she went inside, she checked the safe, which had been pried open, and saw that although cash register drawers were still inside, the night deposit bag was missing.
Police checked the restaurant and found the service door had been pried open, but also that the door had been broken — with some hinges removed — for some weeks before the burglary. The safe door, which was padlocked shut, had been opened with a monkey wrench that had been left by the side of the safe.
When police and store employees checked the video surveillance system they watched as a man wearing blue jeans and a dark long-sleeved shirt entered the office through the rear service door, first checking the safe, then leaving, then returning and apparently using the wrench to pry open the safe door.
The man then reaches into the safe, stands up and leaves through the service door.
Gone from the safe was $1,068.
Police said the surveillance tape clearly showed the man’s face. When the shift supervisor, Steve Clayton, saw the video, he immediately recognized the man as Pettit, and said he was a former employee. Gallagher, called in to watch the same tape, also identified the man in the video as Pettit.
A warrant for Pettit’s arrest was issued that same day.
A day later on March 27, a police officer checking the restaurant found a rear door opened. Although the building was empty, a review of the security camera showed Pettit again enter the building and go to the office where the safe is. It showed him using a large screwdriver to again try to pry open the safe, but was unsuccessful. He left with no money.
Pettit was arrested on April 1 and confessed to the March 27 incident.
As part of his sentence, he will also not be allowed to enter the McDonald’s in Downingtown following his release from prison.

For Jeffery Hathaway, the out-going athletic director at CSU, Fort Collins and the CSU community have been a blessing and a privilege to work with and serve.
“I would not trade these two years (at CSU) for anything in the world,” Hathaway said.
The individuals that Hathaway has associated with for the past two years have become special to him in more than one way.
“The people I’ve met (while working at CSU) are not only wonderful colleagues, but also life-long friends now,” Hathaway said.
But Hathaway hasn’t forgot the real reason why he was at CSU for the last two years, believing that the success athletic department has seen during his time here is due to the students.
“Most importantly, I’ve had the opportunity to work with wonderful student athletes and other undergraduates,” Hathaway said.
During Hathaway’s tenure at CSU, the athletic department has accomplished much in the way of progress.
During the 2002-03 athletic year, CSU won four Mountain West Conference championships, sent the Men’s basketball team to the NCAA Tournament and drew national media attention with the announcement this spring of a $15.2 million gift from the Bohemian Foundation.
The $15.2 million will be used for expansion and renovation of the newly-named Sonny Lubick Field at Hughes Stadium.
The success of the student athletes was the most important aspect for Hathaway.
“The academic success of our student athletes, the success CSU has seen in these areas, that is the most important part,” Hathaway said.
Hathaway will be leaving CSU to serve as the athletic director of the University of Connecticut, the same university that Hathaway served for 11 years prior to coming to Colorado and CSU.
“I had worked (at Uconn) for 11 years. Having been part of that, there is a tie to that university,” Hathaway said. “My kids were born there.”
Leaving CSU is another turn in the road for Hathaway, but he will carry his experience here on with him to his next position.
“My experience at CSU has taught me that my job is about people. First and foremost we are here to serve the university as a whole,” Hathaway said.
CSU is also sad to see Hathaway leave for Connecticut.
“Even though he’s only been here a short time, Jeff has had a tremendous impact at the university,” said Al Yates, president of CSU, in last week’s Collegian.
CSU is becoming accustomed to searching for new athletic directors. Since the departure of Fum McGraw, the athletic director of CSU for 11 years, five directors have come and gone.
Although CSU is unsure who number six will be, an eight-person search committee has been formed to start the process of finding a new director, and an interim director, Christine Susemihl the current associate athletics director for compliance at CSU, has been named.
While the search continues for a new athletic director at CSU, Hathaway is preparing for his new job in Connecticut.
“I believe very strongly in the president (of Uconn) and believe very strongly in the university as a whole,” Hathaway said.


Sea Shepherd’s Paul Watson arrested in Germany

FRANKFURT—A controversial environment group dedicated to protecting marine mammals says its Canadian leader has been arrested in Germany.
The Sea Shepherd Conservation Society says Captain Paul Watson was arrested in Frankfurt over the weekend and will be extradited to Costa Rica on an outstanding arrest warrant.
The Sea Shepherd says in a statement that the arrest warrant stems from a 2002 incident involving a Costa Rican vessel illegally hunting for shark fins in Guatemalan waters.
The group says that while the Sea Shepherd boat was escorting the Costa Rican vessel back to port, a Guatemalan gunboat was dispatched to intercept the group’s crew.
According to the statement posted on the group’s website, the crew of the Costa Rican vessel accused the Sea Shepherds of trying to kill them, “while the video evidence proves this to be a fallacy.”
The Sea Shepherd says their ship later encountered a Costa Rican gun boat, the crew of which has accused Watson of attempted murder.
The Sea Shepherd Conservation Society was formed in 1977 and has had a controversial history.
The group sends vessels to confront the Japanese fleet each year, trying to block them from firing harpoons at whales.
The group’s tactics have drawn praise from supporters and vehement attacks from critics.

MADRID, Sept. 28 (Xinhua) -- Matchday three in la Liga saw FC Barcelona kick off their season with a convincing win at home to a disappointing Villarreal with a new star shining brightly, while a former member of the Barca old guard got off to a flying start at his new club. Here are some things we learned this weekend in Spain.
Standing 1.93m tall, Yang was a consistent threat in the paint, improving Shandong's halftime lead to 27 points.
"Judd is miles ahead in front, but in a year he will have to defend six tournaments and if he doesn't win those six tournaments he will lose a lot," said Selby. "That is my aim to get to number one. It is going to be difficult, but that is what keeps me working every day and practicing hard." Enditem
Qin Haiyang from Shanghai, who finished second in the preliminary final of the 400m event, missed the final, after he failed to make the top eight in a selection of physical tests, according to a new requirement of the championships.
QINGDAO, China, Oct. 2 (Xinhua) -- 2012 Olympic champion Ye Shiwen finished first in the final of the women's 200m individual medley in two minutes and 11.37 seconds at the Chinese national swimming championships here on Friday.

"It's gutting to have come up short but it was a great final. Both of us scored heavily and both of us made mistakes," Gould told the World Snooker Tour website.
While the club seems to have hit rock bottom after a devastating season opening with two defeats and a -10 goal difference.
"It is not only the name that will change as the AFC, in line with our vision and mission, will continue to enhance and invest in all our competitions to provide the best platform for Asia's talents at all levels in the coming years," he said.
Malmo cruised past Croatian side, NK Lokomotiva 5-0 at home in the last qualifying round, they have a lot more European experience than the Spanish side (who are making their debut in Europe this campaign) and they are tough to beat at home.
Ambitions to win titles collide with the club leader's demands to accept the performance fluctuations of young footballers.

I have found myself a little jewel in an author who has been around for a while, but I hadn’t had the good fortune to come across previously. Casey Hill’s CSI Reilly Steel is an honestly strong female character. No running around with guns or knives, kicking bad-guy’s behinds. Instead, Reilly is smart, dedicated, and determined, willing to work until she finds the solution to the crimes she investigates. And this crime is going to require all her dedication if she is going to be able to help detectives Chris Delaney and Pete Kennedy solve this convoluted crime.
It begins in a rather horrific manner. The body of a well-known, and well-hated, journalist is found drowned in his own septic tank. Then, as more bodies pile up, all murdered in brutal and horrific ways, Dublin goes into a panic. Who will The Punisher, as the papers are calling him, attack next? I what brutal manner will they die? One thing Reilly knows is that the murderer is absolutely meticulous. Absolutely organized. And something is so, so familiar about the scenes he so methodically designs. But what is it?
Reilly is a great character. A former California surfer girl and previous FBI ERT (Evidence Response Team) Team Leader out of the San Francisco office. She has moved to Dublin, Ireland to bring the GFU, the Garda Forensic Unit, in Dublin, up to date on sorely outdated forensic procedures. Of course, being American, and female at that, doesn’t go over well with the previous GFU leader, but be that as it may, she holds her head up and does spectacular work, no matter the idiotic behavior of some of her coworkers. She is the reason I will continue reading these stories – she is multi-layered and strong, and yet kind to everyone around her. Lovely.
The story is fast paced, wickedly clever, and a well-researched police procedural. Reilly is finally getting to know her colleagues, Delaney and Kennedy, and it is interesting to watch them begin to grow their relationships, both professionally and as possible friends. It is a well-rounded tale. This is the second in the series technically, though there is a Volume 0 – Crime Scene: CSI Reilly Steel Prequel so technically it is the third. I hope to find the time (and money, of course) to be able to read them all. My only complaint? The editing is terrible so be prepared.

Royal Flying Corps WW1 AVRO 504 504B fighter bomber reconnaissance biplane
The Avro 504 is most famous for bombing the Zeppelin factory at Friedrichshafen. It was designed by Alliot Vernon Roe in 1913 as an easy to fly lightweight, two-seater aircraft. When the First World War started a year later it was adapted for light-bombing and reconnaissance missions. It is also famous for being the first British plane shot down by the enemy on 22nd August 1914 and the first to machinegun troops on the ground. The single seat Avro 504B entered service with the Royal Flying Corps early in 1915. This version of the Avro 504 could store extra fuel and take part in long-range reconnaissance missions. The Avro 504 was not a successful combat aircraft and they were withdrawn from the Western Front at the end of 1914 as newer faster planes were developed. In the summer of 1915 Avro 504B was withdrawn from front-line service. It was held on reserve in Britain to be used against Zeppelins when they bombed Britain. It was also used as a training aircraft for the rest of the war and around the world some were still being used at the start of the second world war. Nearly 9,000 Avro 504 aircraft of different variants were built.
Sir Alliot Verdon Roe (Founder of the AVRO WW1 fighters) built his first plane in Putney, South West London in 1907. A prize of £2,500 (over a million pounds in today's money) was offered for the first flight around the famous Brooklands Motor Racing Track. The first engine he fitted, a 6hp JAP engine was not powerful enough. He fitted a more powerful 24hp engine in May 1908. Roe used a tow rope attached to cars to test his flying machine along the finishing straight of the race track. In June 1908 he managed to get 150 feet into the air. Alliot Verdon Roe was the first British Subject to leave the ground in an aeroplane of his own design. The original aircraft was destroyed in a sudden gust of wind very soon after its first flight. A.V.Roe carried on designing aircraft and formed A.V.Roe & Co Ltd (AVRO) in 1910. The company produced many excellent fighters and bombers. The most famous being the Dam Busting RAF AVRO Lancaster four engined heavy bomber. Hawker Siddeley merged with the company and they themselves became part of British Aerospace. This airworthy replica and exact copy of Roe's wooden workshop shed were built by the staff of the Brooklands Museum, Weybridge, Surrey, England

The US’s Food and Drug Administration has announced how it is broadening its scope and collaborating with foreign agencies to ensure that imported food, drugs, medical devices, and other products that it regulates meet the same standards as those made in the United States.
Margaret Hamburg, the FDA’s commissioner, described the changes in the agency’s Global Engagement report on 23 April.
The FDA regulates products that account for 20-25% of US consumer spending. Imports of these products have grown dramatically in the past decade, and problems have occurred with some imported foods and drugs.
Imports of pharmaceutical products have risen by about 13% a year and …

Vault Festival: The Thing That Came To Dinner
February 7, 2018 - February 9, 2018
In a snowbound manor-house an elegant dinner party is in full swing. But one guest is intent on more than just sophisticated repartee – one guest was not invited at all – one guest is a flesh-eating shape-changing space-beast from beyond the stars!
In this pleasant drawing-room, these charming revellers are not who they seem. Is it because they are desperate for social advancement? Is it because they have illicit histories that they wish to keep hidden? Or is it because they are a bloodthirsty world-conquering tentacular horror from another world!?
As suspicions rise, as layer upon layer of deceit and villainy is exposed, as guests are replaced, one by one, with homicidal alien doppelgangers, these high-society bon-viveurs turn against each other with brutal witticisms, savage quips and razor-sharp mots juste. Will anyone survive this evening of refined company and light entertainments? And if so, will what survives – be human…?
A chaotic farce where 80s sci-fi horror meets poised fin-de-siecle drawing-room comedy, The Thing That Came To Dinner is an absurd romp with cosmically pessimistic implications.
Mannered naturalism gives way to impressionistic character doubling, clowning, puppetry and even song and dance, as the fragile reality of the play peels back and forth, and the elusive nature of identity slips further and further beyond our grasp. This is a play that tells a thrilling and hilarious story, and goes further, to touch on something more profound – at once extremely clever and very stupid.


Rafa Nadal subdued Alex de Minaur 6-1 6-2 6-4 in their third round clash at the Australian Open on Friday after dominating the home town’s top-ranked male player.
The second seed comfortably controlled baseline exchanges, forcing the young Australian to take ever greater risks to compete with the 17 times Grand Slam champion.
“I tried to make him feel that my ball was good enough that he was not (in) control of the point – almost never,” Nadal said.
The Spaniard has won three consecutive straight sets matches against Australians, and will play Czech Republic’s Tomas Berdych in the fourth round.
Alarm bells started ringing at the packed centre court almost as soon as the Friday match started.
Nadal held his service game easily, while de Minaur needed 16 points to hold serve, raising immediate questions over whether the young Australian could keep up with his Spanish opponent.
It was the only game de Minaur won that set.
Nadal, who later described his opponent as probably the quickest player on tour, exerted similar pressure in the first game of the second set. This time he broke de Minaur’s serve after a marathon 20-point game.
With superior firepower on his ground strokes, Nadal could take control of baseline exchanges without taking too many risks.
De Minaur tried to lift his tempo to prevent being bullied around the court – a tactic that naturally carries more risk, and one that he could not successfully sustain.
A packed centre court stadium tried desperately to encourage their charge, but the 19-year-old had his work cut-out trying to hold his own service games, let alone pressure Nadal on his.
“If I could have just held on a little bit more with my serve, applied a bit more pressure early on in the sets, then maybe I could have got… more chances on his serve,” de Minaur said.
De Minaur saved five match points before succumbing in an identical scoreline to the pair’s third round Wimbledon match-up last year.
Although mainly known for his aggressive ground game, Nadal recorded a very high first serve percentage (75), leaving his opponent very few opportunities.
The strong serving display also sounded a timely warning to the rest of the field that Nadal is a bona fide contender for the title despite coming into the tournament under an injury cloud.
Roger Federer and Novak Djokovic are both searching for a record seventh Australian Open title in Melbourne, while a younger generation led by Germany’s Alexander Zverev are looking to unseat the aging champions.

After years of waiting patiently for definitive info on Weightless, the film from Terrence Malick set among intersecting love triangles in Austin’s vibrant music scene and starring Ryan Gosling, Rooney Mara, and Cate Blanchett among many others, we finally got a host of it today, starting with the tidbit that the film is no longer called Weightless. Song to Song is the new title, and if you want to get technical it’s the third the film has had. It was originally called Lawless, but Malick gifted that to his friend John Hillcoat for the Tom Hardy-Shia LaBeouf bootlegger film that came with the cumbersome title The Wettest County in the World. This one will stick though, because one of the other pieces of info we received was a release date, and it’s sooner than you might have thought: March 17th, 2017. No time to change anything now. There’s also an official synopsis: In this modern love story set against the Austin, Texas music scene, two entangled couples — struggling songwriters Faye (Rooney Mara) and BV (Ryan Gosling), and music mogul Cook (Michael Fassbender) and the waitress whom he ensnares (Natalie Portman) — chase success through a rock ’n’ roll landscape of seduction and betrayal. Besides the names I mentioned above and those in the synopsis, Song to Song also stars (deep breath) Christian Bale, Haley Bennett, Val Kilmer, Benicio Del Toro, Clifton Collins Jr., Angela Bettis, Berenice Marlohe, Florence Welch, and Holly Hunter. T-minus 10 weeks and counting.
Been a year in the making, but now Ohio's Copywrite gets set to release one of the biggest international albums of the year, God Save The King on 30th April 2012. The Columbus based MC first came to prominence as part of the group Megahertz. His work with producers RJD2, J-Dilla, Cool & Dre, Illmind and collaborations with artists such as Royce da 5 9, Killah Priest, Sean Price, and Dilated Peoples soon established his position on the international hip hop scene through a series of releases including The High Exhaulted, Ultrasound and The Life and Times of Peter Nelson. Earning a reputation as a battle - hardened MC with punchlines for days, and having just picked up "Best Lyricist" at the Ohio Hip Hop Awards 2011, Copywrite has created an exceptional album. The title is part inspired by the features on this record with some of the best that the UK and US have to offer, and follows previous collaborations with the UK's Rhyme Asylum, Loudmouth Melvin, Skillit and Sam Khan. The release includes contributions from some of the most respected MC's in the UK game, including recently Radio 1 playlisted Context, Mystro, Genesis Elijah, Iron Braydz, Melanin 9, Eurogang's S.A.S. and Bigz Flygerian, Akala, and USG's Don Jaga. Standing shoulder to shoulder with them are US heavyweights Royce da 5 9, Killah Priest, Illogic, Crooked I, Sean Price, Casual, Evidence, Roc Marciano and Sonny Seeza (Onyx). Also look out for a special guest appearance by the 1st Lady of Hip Hop, DJ Sarah Love. Copywrite is on top of his game throughout with his unique flow and rhyme skills, complimented by production from Kount Fif, Stu Bangas, Jaguar Skills, Marco Polo, RJD2, Bronze Nazareth, Surock and Illogic. This is an album for fans of the real deal - lyricists and MC's of the highest calibre spittin' fire over bangin' beats. Copywrite reinforces his position as one of the most skilled wordsmiths around today while producing a record which showcases the true essence of hip hop from both sides of the Atlantic. First out the block is the title track G$K, produced by Stu Bangas and featuring Jason Rose and Lewisham's Dru Blu, currently making huge moves on the UK scene right now with his new single "Living the Dream". The video was shot in the United States and in London, the latter courtesy of Dirty Media and Despa of Stay Fresh Digital. Stu Bangas also produced last year's "English Troops" with Dru Blu and English Frank. Both Copywrite & Dru Blu go in hard on this joint with some choice cutting provided courtesy of DJ Drastik. The album God Save The King releases in the UK on 30th April 2012 on Man Bites Dog Records, also home to Megahertz, Vast Aire, Kount Fif, Dub Sonata and more. Look out for much more news on this release over the coming months including plans for a future UK & European tour later in the year.

New York, NY (Sports Network) - The National Football League released the results of a lengthy investigation on Friday, which discovered that Saints players utilized a bounty program from 2009-2011.
The investigation found that between 22 and 27 defensive players, as well as at least one assistant coach, maintained the illegal program, which included payments to players for inflicting game-ending injuries on competitors.
Commissioner Roger Goodell has been presented with the findings and will determine the appropriate discipline for the actions.
"The payments here are particularly troubling because they involved not just payments for 'performance,' but also for injuring opposing players," Goodell said. "It is our responsibility to protect player safety and the integrity of our game, and this type of conduct will not be tolerated. We have made significant progress in changing the culture with respect to player safety and we are not going to relent. We have more work to do and we will do it."
According to the NFL, Saints players regularly contributed money into a pool and received improper cash payments based on their performance in the previous week's games. Payments were made for plays such as interceptions and fumble recoveries, but also included compensation for injury-inducing plays.
The pool paid $1,500 for a "knockout" -- meaning the opposing player was unable to return to the game -- and $1,000 for a "cart-off" -- meaning the opposing player was carried off the field. The total amount of funds in the pool may have reached $50,000 or more at the program's peak during the 2009 playoffs.
"I have been made aware of the NFL's findings relative to the "Bounty Rule" and how it relates to our club," Saints owner Tom Benson said in a statement. "I have offered and the NFL has received our full cooperation in their investigation. While the findings may be troubling, we look forward to putting this behind us and winning more championships in the future for our fans."
Ed Daniels' Take:
The fallout from the Saints "bounty program" could be substantial.
New Orleans head coach Sean Payton and general manager Mickey Loomis could face fine or suspension or both. Gregg Williams will likely be suspended. It is not out of the realm of possibility that key personnel could be fired over the severity of the bounty program.
And it is likely that the Saints will be forced to surrender several draft picks because of the bounty program.
In 2008, the New Englang Patriots forfeited a first round pick and head coach Bill Belichick was fined $500,000 for his role in spygate, the taping of defensive signals by the New York Jets. The Patriots were also fined $250,000.
This appears to be a far more serious violation.
The "Pay for Performance" program violates the NFL's rule prohibiting "Non- Contract Bonuses."
The rule states that "No bonus or award may directly or indirectly be offered, promised, announced, or paid to a player for his or his team's performance against a particular team or opposing player or a particular group thereof. No bonuses or awards may be offered or paid for on field misconduct (for example, personal fouls to or injuries inflicted on opposing players)."
The NFL's investigation included "the review of approximately 18,000 documents totaling more than 50,000 pages, interviews of a wide range of individuals and the use of outside forensic experts to verify the authenticity of key documents."
The NFL Players Association also weighed in on the issue.
"Health and safety is a paramount issue to the NFLPA. The NFLPA was informed of this investigation by the NFL earlier today and will review the information contained in the league's report," the NFLPA said in a statement.
Former Saints defensive coordinator Gregg Williams, in charge of the defense in New Orleans during the three year span in question, apologized for his role in the "bounty" payments through a statement from his new employers, the St. Louis Rams:
“I want to express my sincere regret and apology to the NFL, Mr. Benson, and the New Orleans Saints fans for my participation in the ‘pay for performance’ program while I was with the Saints. It was a terrible mistake, and we knew it was wrong while we were doing it. Instead of getting caught up in it, I should have stopped it. I take full responsibility for my role. I am truly sorry. I have learned a hard lesson and I guarantee that I will never participate in or allow this kind of activity to happen again.”
The Saints have gained a reputation in league circles as a dirty team in recent years, and Vikings running back Adrian Peterson said this past season that the Saints targeted his high left ankle sprain.
"I felt like it kind of got overboard," Peterson said at the time. "I got up and kind of got in his face. Thank God I was able to keep my composure."
The Saints denied Peterson's claims.

The famous chicken and egg question has finally been cracked - the chicken came first.
Boffins believe that modern birds and reptiles’ early ancestors gave birth to live young, rather than laying eggs.
Bristol University scientists found egg-laying species evolved from those that gave birth more like humans.
Eggs were being laid by the chicken’s distant dinosaur ancestors millions of years before the first chickens arrived.
But scientists have now found that the chicken’s ancestors may not have laid eggs at all, as previously thought.
Scientists have long believed that laying eggs with hard shells was a crucial role in the evolutionary success more than 300 million years ago of species known as amniotes, including mammals, lizards, crocodilians and birds.
But researchers from Bristol and Nanjing Uni in China have now found that some oviparous, or egg-laying, species could have evolved from ancestors that were viviparous, or gave birth to live young, and that species can switch in both directions between the two modes.
Bristol Uni’s Professor Michael Benton said: “We can be pretty sure many of the dinosaurs laid hard-shelled eggs way back in evolutionary time.
“[Our research] doesn’t change that but it does change our assumption that the hard shelled egg was a very early occurrence that was key to the success of amniotes.
“[There was] more of a diversity of reproductive modes, especially the ability to retain the young through extended embryo retention (EER).”
Modern birds, crocodiles and turtles lay eggs when the embryo within is still at an early stage of development. It grows outside the mother and hatches later.
Mammals keep their embryos internally, known as EER, allowing them to develop within the mother before being born live.
Lizards and snakes also keep their embryos internally for longer. They usually then go on to lay eggs, but some can give birth to live young.


A scientists team has developed what is believed to be the first artificial hand that has feeling.
The device, called 'SmartHand,' resembles - in function, sensitivity and appearance - a real hand.
The prosthetic hand is a new invention from Tel Aviv University researchers.
Yosi Shacham-Diamand of TAU's Department of Engineering, along with a team of European Union scientists, successfully wired the state-of-the-art artificial hand to existing nerve endings in the stump of a severed arm.
Robin af Ekenstam of Sweden, the project's first human subject, has not only been able to complete extremely complicated tasks like eating and writing, he reports he is also able to "feel" his fingers once again.
In short, Shacham-Diamand and his team have seamlessly rewired Ekenstam's mind to his SmartHand.
Shacham-Diamand's contribution to the project, on which TAU collaborated with Sweden's Lund University, is the interface between the body's nerves and the device's electronics.
"Perfectly good nerve endings remain at the stem of a severed limb. Our team is building the interface between the device and the nerves in the arm, connecting cognitive neuroscience with state-of-the-art information technologies," the researcher said.
"Our challenge was to make an electrode that was not only flexible, but could be implanted in the human body and function properly for at least 20 years," Shacham-Diamand said.
The artificial SmartHand will belong to Ekenstam, the test subject, as long as he wishes.
"After only a few training sessions, he is operating the artificial hand as though it's his own. We've built in tactile sensors too, so the information transfer goes two ways. These allow Ekenstam to do difficult tasks like eating and writing," Shacham-Diamand said.


S&C Slatter was selected by principal contractor Willmott Dixon as specialist sports construction partner for a key element of the £23 million re-development of the Hart Leisure Centre in Fleet, Hampshire. The new centre is managed by leading leisure operator Everyone Active.
Over 10000 square metres of artificial turf have been installed by S&C Slatter for a full size 3G football turf pitch to FIFA Quality Performance Standard and four 37m x 18.5m 5 a side 3G football turf pitches. All feature surfacing systems from FieldTurf the World’s leading producer of artificial sports grass and the company’s manufacturing partner. The relevant civil engineering works were all completed by S&C Slatter using its in-house construction expertise and resources.
The provision of floodlighting and rebound quality rigid panel weld mesh fencing to the perimeter of the artificial turf pitches was also part of the contract, as was the creation of two natural grass mini-pitches. Toby Spearing was Site Foreman for S&C Slatter on what is a highly impressive mixed facility sports hub adjacent to the new Edenbrook Country Park and housing development.

Gazprom postpones launch of plant to produce LNG from coalbed methane by three years - authorities
KEMEROVO. June 9 (Interfax) - The first stage of a Gazprom plant to produce liquefied natural gas (LNG) from coalbed methane in the Kuznetsk basin is now scheduled for 2026, the press service of the Kemerovo Region's Industry and Trade Ministry told reporters.
The capacity of the first stage is expected to be 3 tonnes per hour and the second stage will expand it to 24 tonnes per hour, with two trains producing up to 12 tonnes per hour each.
The regional authorities said in June 2021 that the Russian gas giant's subsidiary Gazprom Dobycha Kuznetsk (GDK) had begun building an LNG plant at the Naryksko-Ostashkinskoye methane and coal deposit in Kemerovo Region. The first stage of the plant was scheduled to go into operation in the first quarter of 2023 and the plant was supposed to reach design capacity of 220,000 tonnes per year in 2024.
The regional ministry -said the total capacity of the plant will remain unchanged, but it is unclear when this figure will be reached. "The dates will be determined when the field development plan for the Naryksko-Ostashkinskoye methane and coal deposit is updated," the ministry said.
"Design documentation for the construction of the connecting gas pipelines of demonstration wells, the LNG plant site, power transmission line and access road has been drawn up in order to prepare the infrastructure for the operation of the LNG plant with capacity of 3 tonnes per hour," the ministry said.
Forecast methane resources in the Kuznetsk basin are estimated at 13 trillion cubic meters.
GDK holds licenses to explore for and produce gas at the Taldinskoye deposit with methane reserves of more than 70 billion cubic meters, the Naryksko-Ostashkinskoye deposit with over 160 bcm and the Tutuyassko-Raspadskaya field with methane resources of over 530 bcm.

Watershed Protection touts wildfire plan progress
Tuesday, January 13, 2015 by Tyler Whitson
Watershed Protection Department staff told the Environmental Board on Wednesday that they have begun to implement an intergovernmental plan designed to help prevent catastrophic wildfires in the future.
Senior Environmental Compliance Specialist Ryan Hebrink stressed that the Austin/Travis County Community Wildfire Protection Plan is “not a regulatory document, but a strategic tool.” Travis County, City of Austin and Texas Forest Service officials adopted the plan Nov. 14 of last year.
The plan’s three primary objectives, Hebrink said, are “restoring and maintaining healthy landscapes, creating and supporting fire-adapted communities and using a risk-based management response to wildfires.”
Hebrink said that Watershed Protection staff have published and promoted educational materials online, including a downloadable version of the plan, an interactive wildfire risk assessment map and a 40-page risk reduction and recovery guide, called “Before and After the Fire: Environmental Best Management Practices for Wildfire Risk Reduction and Recovery.”
Hebrink added that staff have given out physical copies of the guide — printed in April 2014 — at community events, workshops and meetings with neighborhood organizations. They’re also considering a distribution plan that would include placing them in racks at local hardware stores, plant nurseries and related locations.
Environmental Board Chair Mary Gay Maxwell encouraged Watershed Protection staff to go further by distributing the guides to local grocery stores and other less specialized places so that a wider array of residents will happen upon them. “It’s so beautiful,” she said, “it needs to be out there and needs to be seen.”
Hebrink later told the Austin Monitor that the plan breaks up Travis County into 83 different planning districts and ranks them based on wildfire risk and susceptibility, which will affect implementation. “Partially, we’ll be looking at those risk rankings and targeting our efforts toward the most at-risk communities,” Hebrink said. “But we’ll be spreading our efforts around the county.”
In addition to working with and educating private property owners, Hebrink said that Watershed Protection is working with the Austin Fire Department and other agencies to prepare and protect wild lands, including the Balcones Canyonlands Preserve.
Watershed Protection staff are also preparing to get involved in the emergency response objective of the plan, Hebrink said. “We do plan to have some role in the emergency response to wildfires, and certainly after the fire to mitigate secondary impact,” he said. “But we’re still ironing out exactly what those roles and responsibilities look like in coordination with other emergency response agencies like the Fire Department.”
Watershed Protection Environmental Officer Chuck Lesniak told the Monitor that the plan aims to address misconceptions about wildfire management that spread after an extreme 2011 Texas wildfire season.
“A lot of people had an initial reaction of, ‘Let’s cut down all of the trees around the houses and the buildings and just put in lots of rock and stone and just clear-cut things,’” Lesniak said. “From an environmental standpoint, that’s not a great idea, because it has a lot of unintended consequences.”
“We’ve developed a wildfire management plan that’s unique in the country in that we took a really hard look at how you could protect the environment at the same time that you manage wildfire risk,” Lesniak continued. “I think we’ve been really successful, and I suspect that this will become a model, nationwide, for how you do environmental protection and wildfire management.”

"Serbia sticks to military neutrality and does not want to become a member of NATO", Djurovic said at a meeting of a Russian-Serbian parliamentary panel on cooperation.
She referred to the latest opinion polls, which showed that only 12 percent of Serbs support the idea of their country joining the block.
Djurovic also signaled the Serbian parliament's support for Russian airstrikes on Daesh militants in Syria, but said that her country's legislature will never back "the bombing of a state where the president was legitimately elected."
"We will always be on the Syrian people's side," Djurovic said.
Earlier this year, the country's Prime Minister Aleksandar Vucic said that Serbia has no intention of joining NATO in the near future, adding that the people of Serbia "need to be very cautious" on the issue of NATO membership "because of our past, because of 1999,",in a reference to NATO's bombing campaign in Serbia at the time.
Serbia has repeatedly affirmed its policy of military neutrality regarding NATO membership, even though the country remains a participant of NATO’s Partnership for Peace program for bilateral cooperation. In January 2015, Serbia deepened cooperation with NATO through an Individual Partnership Action Plan.
