On March 12, 2011, an explosion rocked the towns of Futaba and Okuma in Fukushima, Japan, but few were there to hear it.
The day before, the earth and then the sea turned against the towns in twin disasters that leveled homes and businesses, strewed debris across lawns and fields, and tore chasms through the asphalt streets. But it was a human-made disaster at the nearby nuclear power plants that made Fukushima residents flee.
Among the few who remained to hear the explosion were those too stubborn to leave their homes and the pet akitas and huskies reluctantly left behind by their fleeing owners. Although the town was mostly abandoned, the nation and the world saw the blast on television. As subsequent hydrogen explosions ripped through the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant, many watching uttered two words: Chernobyl and Hiroshima.
Few words in the collective vocabulary elicit more fear. Whereas terms like meltdown are abstract, mention of Chernobyl (1986) and Hiroshima (1945) bring to mind human suffering from real events. Happily, neither Hiroshima nor Chernobyl would be replicated at Fukushima Daiichi—prevented by both the reactor designs and the laws of physics.
An atomic bomb requires a rapid, uncontrolled chain reaction of fission, but the design of Japan's nuclear reactors precludes such a cataclysmic scenario. The controlled reaction that powered the Fukushima reactors has already stopped, making such concerns moot.
Although the disaster at Fukushima I is the only disaster to share the worst rating on the International Nuclear Events scale, best estimates place the radiation release at 10% of that at Chernobyl. Events at Chernobyl were exacerbated by the lack of a steel containment dome, which all of the reactors at Fukushima have, and a reactor design that allowed the nuclear chain reaction to continue in spite of the loss of coolant.
Yet, we are haunted by the specter of our nuclear past. And given Japan's complicated past with nuclear issues, it is especially surprising that Japan now has such a highly developed civilian nuclear power program, the third largest in the world after those of the United States and France.
The bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, fallout from the testing of Soviet nuclear weapons, and the Lucky Dragon Incident of 1954 left the Japanese in the 1950s with what some observers have called a "nuclear allergy." Historically, Japanese anti-nuclear-weapons activists have been among the most vigorous in the world.
But the desperate need for energy to power Japan's rapid economic growth and the complexities of post-World War II international relations together led the Japanese government to pursue nuclear power.
Choosing a nuclear policy was one thing, persuading an initially reluctant public was quite another. The government and electric utilities promoted the nuclear power option relentlessly, starting a public relations campaign in the mid-1950s that strove to cement a positive image of nuclear power in the public eye.
In Futaba, a sign bearing the town's motto—"nuclear power is the energy of a bright tomorrow"—now stands as an eerie reminder of that campaign for a nuclear-powered future.
But nuclear power has remained a sensitive issue and the public has long expressed ambiguous feelings and increasing concern toward it. The government, by contrast, has remained a firm supporter, even in the face of incidents and disaster that gave rise to questions about the wisdom and safety of nuclear power, such as Chernobyl and Three Mile Island (1979).
Regardless of the outcome of the disaster at Fukushima Daiichi, nuclear issues have played a starring role in Japanese politics, society, and culture for the past seventy years—one that is unlikely to disappear in the near future.
From Hiroshima to Atoms for Peace
Like other researchers, Japanese physicists and chemists closely followed the discovery of nuclear fission by Otto Hahn, Fritz Strassmann, and Lise Meitner in 1938. Japan was one of the few countries at the time with the material resources and scientific talent to pursue this research. In fact, Japan embarked on not one, but two research efforts to create an atomic bomb during World War II.

As was documented earlier, there was a lot cut from "The Amazing Spider-Man" as Sony and director Marc Webb wrestled with the film prior to release. Among the many elements that were apparently jettisoned in the "the untold story" (which turned out be the story we already knew) was an element that Peter Parker's dad had secretly been involved in his son's transformation into Spider-Man. And some deleted scenes seem to be point out this was the case.
Three scenes from the upcoming "The Amazing Spider-Man" home video release (which we presume will be promptly scrubbed from the Internet, so watch now) provide an intriguing look at what was axed from the movie. Of particular notice is a subeterranean sequence with Irrfan Khan's Rajit Bartha (most of his scenes were cut) who strongly implies to Peter that his father used him for some kind of genetic experiment. It's certainly a different angle, but it also suggests that everyone involved with the movie had trouble deciding whether to stick to the origin story everyone knows or cut a new path. Guess we know which one won out.
"The Amazing Spider-Man" lands on November 9th on DVD and Blu-ray. Watch below. [Vulture]

Runners-up a year ago, top seeds Sara Errani and Roberta Vinci were determined not to let another opportunity slip away.
The Italian duo captured the Australian Open women's doubles title on Friday, outlasting Aussie wildcards Ashleigh Barty and Casey Dellacqua 6-2, 3-6, 6-2 at Rod Laver Arena.
The 16-year-old Barty was trying to become the youngest Grand Slam champion since Martina Hingis captured the Aussie Open singles title in 1997.
An Aussie pairing hasn't captured the Aussie Open women's doubles title since 1979.
The 25-year-old Errani and 29-year-old Vinci, the reigning U.S. and French Open champions, lost in three sets to a Russian tandem of Svetlana Kuznetsova and Vera Zvonareva last year at Melbourne Park.
"Our strength is that we always play together," Vinci said. "We went out there today with lots of grit, and we really wanted to win."
Errani, who was last year's surprise French Open singles runner-up, and Vinci will split $500,000.

Get Your 6.7L Cummins VGT Actuators Here
Spend enough time around the 6.7L Cummins and you’ll learn one of the most common failure points is the VGT actuator for the factory turbocharger. Sudden loss of exhaust brake functionality or an exhaust brake that won’t turn off (even while accelerating) are telltale signs the actuator has gone south. The added drive pressure is hard on the turbo, and contribute to a blown head gasket.
Industrial Injection stocks actuators for the Holset HE351VE found on ’07.5-’12 engines. Genuine OEM Holset VGT actuators are bolt-on and — affordably at $390.22.

WELCOME TO OUR NEW WEBSITE
A great deal has happened to online shopping since we started our business in 1996! Since that time, PayPal, with it's high level of security has become the favourite method of payment for many people. We are happy to now provide this facility on our new website and of course you can still pay by credit and debit card if you do not have a PayPal account.
WE PROVIDE A CONFIDENTIAL SERVICE
We do not sell our customer's details to mailing list companies and we are registered under the Data Protection Act 1998.
We post all our orders under plain cover. For orders of up to 72 condoms we use brown card A4 size mailers. For larger size orders we use white Mailite bubble bags. In either case on the pack there is no indication as to the contents.
DELIVERY IN THE UK
We aim to post out an order within 48 hours maximum of receiving it - but usually on the same day. UK customers please let us know if you have not received your order within a 10 days of placing it.
We normally use standard Royal Mail Air Mail Small Packet post for overseas orders and this is usually very efficient and cost effective. Sometimes we may use other Royal Mail services like Airsure or International Signed For if we think it's necessary. There may be an extra charge for this but we will let you know in advance if this applies. Please allow at least 14 days for your order to reach you. It is usually a lot less than this but occasionally it can be more.
POST YOUR ORDER TO US - AND DEDUCT YOUR POSTAGE COST
If you prefer not to order online you can post an order to us with a cheque or postal order for payment. Our address is shown on the "Contact" page. In the past we have provided a Freepost facility but due to the continual rising price of the Royal Mail Freepost licence and the charge they make for each item processed, we have, with regret, decided to discontinue this service. However we don't want you to lose out so please deduct the cost of posting your order to us from the amount of your bill.
WE AIM TO BE THE BEST IN THE BUSINESS
We have been selling condoms on the internet since 1996 and have thousands of satisfied customers. We hope that you will join them. If you are happy with our service please tell your friends - if not please tell us. We are proud of the service we offer and aim to be the best in the business.

Below you will find what some of our customers say about our dealership.
To add a testimonial of your own, submit it on the Customer Survey page.
We purchased a Ranger UTV earlier this year from Bemidji Sports Centre. Brandon, the sales manager was spectacular to work with. He is professional, friendly, and knowledgeable. We have gone back and purchased additional accessories and the parts department is so easy to work with. Bo in the service department helped us with adjusting our
doors and giving great advice for use and maintenance of the machine. It was an absolute pleasure to work with Brandon and the team at Bemidji Sports Centre. Highly recommend Bemidji Sports Centre!
Yes, 5 Stars, Other, I recently purchased a new Polaris snowmobile through Brandon. This is the second unit I have purchased from Bemidji sports Centre. I have had to do all the paperwork either through the mail or email, and over the phone, due to living in Illinois, and both times things have gone smooth as can be. The customer service is the best there is. Everyone in store and on the phone is very friendly and can help you with whatever it is you need. This machine isn't my first and definitely won't be my last purchase from the Bemidji Sports Centre!
"I got a 2015 can-am outlander L 500. The machine is one of the best on earth. Thanks for the easy and fast service."

Her Ranger is perfect for her, and she's enjoyed it every day since she's received it. The special seat belt you outfitted it with keeps her safe and secure while jostling through the trails. She looks so happy in her fancy "flaming" helmet and a grim from ear to ear. Her Ranger is going to bring her a lifelime of pleasure and has already improved her quality of life. Thank you so much for your caring service and special attention. "

That’s a great question! Let’s ask a slightly different question first – “do you sleep more when you’re growing?”. The answer to that is yes! When you grow, you’re using quite a lot of energy, so you sleep to conserve what energy you have in order that it can be used for growth.
So if you’re asleep, then energy that you might normally be using to run around everywhere can be used to help you grow. So while I don’t know the answer for sure, it seems sensible to suggest that you might grow quicker when you’re asleep!
I agree with Pete – it seems logical to think that you would grow slightly quicker in your sleep than you would during the day! Gravity may also have something to do with it….when you’re awake and standing upright, gravity pushes your feet to the ground to stop you flying into outer space!! In essence, this acts from your head through to your feet…when you’re lying down asleep though, gravity is pushing against a larger, horizontal surface area of your body. What do you reckon Pete? So it would make sense to think that a combination of the energy and gravity viewpoints would make you grow slightly faster during your sleep!

Foreign Minister Ahmet Davutoğlu
has warned of a domino effect after Crimea split from Ukraine
and joined Russia, saying it could set an example for other frozen conflicts.
“Our concern is not only Ukraine. If this trend starts, which is an act against territorial integrity, there are many other frozen conflicts like Trans-Dniester, Abkhazia and Nagorno-Karabakh. We do not want the Ukraine
crisis to start a domino effect in and around the Black Sea
and the neighboring regions of Turkey,” Davutoğlu told the Japanese Nikkei Asian Review magazine.
Davutoğlu yesterday departed for Japan to attend a meeting of the Non-Proliferation and Disarmament Initiative (NPDI) in Hiroshima. He will also hold talks with his Japanese counterpart, Fumio Kishida.
The foreign minister said Turkey has a unique position over the Ukraine
crisis. “Turkey is in a unique position in these developments. We are the only neighbor to both Ukraine
that also has direct access to Crimea; therefore, we are following developments very closely. Poland is also a neighbor to both Russia
but with no direct access to Crimea,” Davutoğlu told the magazine, while underlining the importance of international law. “It is very important for us that all these issues will be resolved within the framework of international law, diplomacy and through negotiations with respect to good, neighborly relations.”
The top diplomat also elaborated on the occupation of government buildings and the declaration of people’s republics in the eastern cities of Kharkiv and Donetsk. “These are not positive signals. What I said is important. Kharkiv, Donetsk and other regions should be included actively in the Kyiv government, and everybody must respect the territorial integrity of Ukraine
and have a proportional role in the future of the nation,” he said.
Ukrainian President Oleksandr Turchynov promised yesterday not to prosecute pro-Russian activists occupying government buildings if they laid down their arms and halted a four-day standoff.
Davutoğlu, meanwhile, said Turkey did not expect a crisis with Russia
over energy. “Turkey’s energy agreements with Russia
are clear and have been continuing for many years without any problems.
Turkey of course respects agreements, and we don’t expect any crisis in that sense. But the energy issue is important for all countries, and it should be seen as a tool or instrument of cooperation rather than conflict or confrontation.”
Asked about the 2009 Ukrainian gas crisis in which the flow of Russian
gas via Ukraine
to Turkey also stopped and about Turkey’s energy options, Davutoğlu said the country was diversifying both its energy resources and routes.
“It’s not just because of the Ukraine
crisis, we had already decided to diversify both energy resources and different routes, and the nuclear plants we are building with Japan and Russia
are an alternative source of energy. As for natural gas, we are buying from Azerbaijan
via the Tanap project. We are diversifying our energy using all these. That is not in regard to the Ukrainian issue; we started this process long before. Concerning this particular issue, we do not expect a crisis, as there are clear agreements between Turkey and Russia. We have not faced big problems until now, and in that sense, we do not expect a crisis,” Davutoğlu said.

Hello Heartcry family,
What a glorious day it is today in the UK – perfect spring weather! The sun is bright, the daffodils are shining and tossing their yellow heads in the sun and the birds are singing at full volume. It is as if the birds are all rehearsing the Hallelujah anthem for the Christmas choir!! The other morning the noisy dawn chorus woke me up at about 5:30am. Feeling a little irritated by their noise I then heard the Holy Spirit speak to me. He said, “Rachel, this is what my watchmen and people should be doing. They should be declaring and releasing the sound of JOY and harvest over the nations. It is time to AWAKEN the dawn and overcome the night. Let the Church arise and awaken this NEW DAY of my presence and power in the land. Do not be silent – in these days you must sing and remember the goodness and purposes of your God.” Let the joyful cry of God’s House fill the skies! March was a busy and diverse month with many challenges but also multiple signs of God’s guidance and goodness. Helen and I have found ourselves in many cities and places holding seminars and training days with leaders, a conference in Portsmouth, and also responding to the various needs as a result of the Ukrainian war. We had a wonderful Trustees’ meeting with our board where we were able to review these last 2 years and document the miraculous and constant provision of God for us here at Heartcry. After 2 years of minimal conferences and events we are still able to pay all our bills, provide for the missions’ projects and serve the leaders of many nations. What a joy it has been to watch the kind provision of God.
Helen and I have also ministered in churches across the UK this month, in Walsall, Black Country; Brixham, Devon; Edmonton, London; Betel, Birmingham; Coventry, Midlands, Premier Radio; Portsmouth; Isle of Wight; and Fleet Baptist church. These have been a variety of types and size of meetings but there is one characteristic that unifies them all – people are hungry to know Jesus more and see Him in their everyday lives. As we have travelled the nation this month, we have been so aware that people have lived through some very tough trials. A leader who had to bury his brother suddenly, parents with children who are suicidal and with real mental health issues, businesses needing orders and a new financial boost, uncertainty about job situations and grief due to loved ones dying without a farewell during COVID. Many of the confusing emotions of this last 2 years are now needing to be addressed, discussed, processed and healed. Jesus is the healer and helper in these times. Many of the ministry times have been tender and deep. God is so kind. We have found that there is a cry to know the power and the presence of the Holy Spirit in a new way as people long for that safe atmosphere of connection with God and with people.
Obviously with our connection to Moldova, developed over these last years, we have also been working hard to serve those deeply affected by the Ukrainian war and the refugee crisis. I have thanked God, again and again, for our connection with Moldova and dear Charlotte and Johannes who are working as missionaries on the Moldovan / Ukrainian border to help. As I have watched the news, I have prayed but could at times have been tempted to feel utterly helpless BUT your generosity and these divine connections in Moldova have meant that we have been at the cutting-edge, placing hope and practical help into the hands of these precious refugees.
We were able to send over £25,000 immediately to the frontline in Moldova where it has funded the opening of a 90-bed reception centre for those fleeing through Moldova. We have used your gifts to buy blankets, food and also travel tickets for buses and trains for refugees to continue their travel into Europe. They arrive with their money worthless and unable to even buy water for the journey or the bus ticket to find their family. In the first days there was no one else at the border but the church and Charlotte and Johannes are working with the churches in the area. Now other humanitarian aid has arrived but the needs are overwhelming. Charlotte has found herself working with the local government agencies co-ordinating the border help. She is such a gift speaking Russian, Ukrainian, Moldavian, English and of course her native language Danish! Thank you, God, for these people. They are working so hard but are so gifted to serve in times of crisis. Charlotte and Johannes also decided is was not enough to just meet the people at the border but that they needed to travel into Ukraine and help inside the nation too. In these last 10 days they have taken 2 trips into Ukraine, packing buses with every type of aid, medical supplies, blankets, and food that they can. The busses that we originally bought for the rescue of girls who were being trafficked are now being used to save the lives of children and women fleeing for their lives. This last visit in Ukraine was more dangerous, the roads were more chaotic, shells and bombing is more wide-spread and life has deteriorated further The need is great. But LOVE never fails! I admire their courage and we are doing all we can to help. More money is being sent all the time. We have established a secure and reliable way to transfer money into the hands of our workers, keeping the cash in Euros to be of maximum benefit to the refugees and our workers. We are watching over the stability of Moldova too and praying! If you look at our Facebook page and website you will see the updates. We are now looking for specific medical supplies for the local hospital and other needs – please refer to our webpage for a list of specialist items needed.
As of last week, we have just registered with the UK government to be a sponsorship charity to help bring Ukrainian refugees into the UK and offer them a safe space and home. If this is something you would like to support, please send your details and what you can specifically offer to a family to us at email@example.com . We are working with Charlotte and Johannes to identify families, Christian pastors, children and others who need homes so that we can link you with people as the needs arise. Initially the feedback had been that many Ukrainian mothers and children had hoped to stay in the immediately neighbouring countries such as Poland and Romania in the hope that they could return to their husbands and families as soon as possible and be closer to them. But as the war continues and the utter devastation of some of the cities becomes evident, many are realising that they may need to relocate more long-term so we are aware that the UK may become an option for some seeking refuge. We want to be ready to help connect those in need with wonderful homes here so please do let us know if you can offer accommodation. The government process is as yet a little unclear and lacks detail at this time but we are working to try to serve and help you. We are also working with our MP and the various committees to get further clarity. Thank you for your love and patience. Please pray for us. Heartcry will have someone to work exclusively in this area of helping the Ukrainian refugees and be a link person to help you.
As you will know if you read our letters frequently, Helen, Gordon and I should have been flying to Moldova for a leaders’ conference with the Ukrainian and Moldovan churches this week! Unfortunately, the conference will not now happen but we will be present through our help, finance and love. Please do pray for us to have wisdom and find our way through the paperwork to help many families who want a home. THANK YOU HEARTCRY FAMILY! You have been amazing and together we are making a difference! As we give what we can, God is adding His blessing to it. We were so touched to hear of one woman near Mariupol who has been cooking meals for anyone in need. Each day she prays over her supply of food and simply trusts that the little she has will stretch to feed anyone who comes her way…she has been cooking with the same bag of pasta for over 10 days and it just keeps multiplying as she pours out what she has! He is a miracle-working God!
Although raising help for Ukraine is occupying much of our time, we are still traveling and ministering as well. This coming month we will also have the joy of some international travel as we visit the Faroe Islands over Easter. Here is a summary of where we will be ministering this month:
Ministry Dates For April 2022
3 Fresh Bread Message – Heartcry social media platforms (Helen)
4 Meetings in London (Rachel & Helen)
8 BICP Conversations online (Helen)

We had to work for good gear.
Raiding guilds were the envy of all.
We had to walk uphill both ways until level 40.
It was "OMG" when you could finally afford to get your epic ground mount.
Grinding mobs and playing the AH were the only ways to make money. No dailies back then.
There were hardly any spammers, at least, compared to the amount we have now.
People were mostly civil when you asked for help.
Trade Chat wasn't nearly so...Trade-Chat-ish....
People actually typed with proper spelling/grammar. Or at least they did their best.
Am I getting old?
It certainly feels that way.
Especially since I rolled Shadree, my little Nelf hunter. She's not my first hunter, but she is my first one since 4.0 (four point oh no! As I hear it not-so-lovingly called on Trade Chat/forums). This means she has a little white sabre as a pet from level one. So naturally, I try to think of a good name. I think of Schrödinger, and Guenhwyvar, before wondering how many people would actually get it =/
Then I died a little inside and left it as 'Cat'.

If you are like me you are tired of these dreary days...I received a pair of new sunglasses for Christmas and I have only gotten to wear them twice!
I am ready for some sunshine and more warm weather.....
Together would be nice!
But always trying to be the optomist and finding the good in anything-I know that for dreary days there is nothing better than a bowl of soup.....today I tried a new soup. One I'd never had before and to be honest had never even thought about it.....Golllywhoppers is where the Air Team at J103 went for lunch today and I saw on their menu board.....Meatloaf Soup! Always wanting to try new things.....I did....and it was delicious! It tasted just like meatloaf in a creamy soup.
Try it-you'll like it!

This year’s Tent London is sure to satisfy BlogTour London’s design cravings and an artist we won’t want to miss will be Lillys Lightbox Company by designer Felicia Strehmel. Her box lighting is the essence of vintage with modern functionality. The pieces are each made from chests of drawers with handmade acrylic photo slides displaying vintage inspired sepia photos that appear to hover gently within their frame. Many drawers are restored to retain their original charm while others go unchanged to preserve their historical value.
We love the retro style of the above Radio Erfurt, GDR 1958 and the warm nostalgic light it produces. The Glow Tree lightbox on the right also evokes nostalgia with its soft glow and dreamlike image. “All of the pieces are built with traditional electrical fittings produced by small British companies and are fitted, tested and CE certified to be used with energy efficient CFL light bulbs up to 20W,” says Felicia Strehmel. The images slide in and out to permit a easy access to the light bulbs. The boxes are also constructed with brass mirror plates to hang safely.
Two of our favorites among Strehmel’s lightbox collections is that of the London 1908-1948 collection, “The Jump 1908″ and “Brighton Shore” of the Compositions Collection.
We absolutely love the creativity of the reused drawers and the wonderful stories that are being told through the vintage images.
Note from the writer: My birthday is around the corner, just a little food for thought folks. What a fabulous find.

from the Redford Observer January 1, 1990
I'm guilty of being one of those straight through only stopping to go to the bathroom, gassing up and eating (fast food! I never stop at a sit down restaurant) kind of drivers. Not that I'm opposed to sitting down to eat somewhere and having a good meal but when I'm driving long distance the last thing I want to do is get out of my rhythm. I'm one of those fall asleep on a dime type of people as well and nothing triggers a nap more than indulging on food! Plus I'm always on a tight schedule so trying something such as Gundella suggests here is unlikely although it does sound like fun if you can afford both a long and leisurely trip. Not many of us can these days but it does sound very enticing to say the least.
Obviously, part of the article at the bottom is illegible but I'll try to track down this exact column in another city's edition but that's very tricky as none seem to publish anything remotely close to the same paper on any given publication date. As for the blotted out recipe portion, I think it read 2 cups of flour but I can't be certain so use with caution!
Oh yeah, and what's with the turkey burger recipe not including any turkey?!?! Haha. Must be a Michigan thing that I've not come across in my years here.

A new standard in analog to digital and digital to analog conversion
The Lynx Studio Technology Aurora(n) significantly improves upon the spectacular performance and specifications the world has come to expect from the well-regarded Lynx Aurora line – each in a single rack-space. Providing an even greater level of wide-open, uncompressed and unequalized audio for studios, mastering facilities, remote recording, broadcast, live performance and production installations, these Aurora(n) converters set a new standard in analog to digital and digital to analog conversion. Leveraging technology that was previously reserved for the Lynx Hilo combined with the latest FPGA processors, the Aurora(n) achieves the pinnacle of transparency and low distortion and noise.
A converter for now and for the future
The Aurora’s future-proof design is expanded in the Aurora(n). New enhancements and capabilities will be made available through firmware upgrades. LSlot expansion slots allow for a wide array of current connectivity options to include Thunderbolt, Dante, ProTools|HD, USB and future formats. Expandable audio I/O modules are being developed to include pre amp, analog summing, digital I/O (AES3 + ADAT) which will be available in 2017. This makes for an Aurora(n) that will perform exceptionally for you now and remain innovative well into the future. Also added to the line are two audiophile-grade headphone outs with independent volume control. A 480 X 128 TFT LCD display provides immediate access to all levels and functions – also configurable for future functionality.
- Complete redesign integrates Hilo Converter Technology (HCT) for analog I/O to achieve significant improvements in transparency and reductions of both noise and distortion
- LSlotTM expansion slot for Thunderbolt, Dante, USB, ProTools|HD connectivity and more
- Configurable I/O - pre-amp, summing & AES3+ADAT modules to be released in 2017
- Two audiophile-grade headphone outputs

We are delighted to announce the appointment of our committee members to the new National Statistician’s Committee for Advice on Standards for Economic Statistics (NSCASE), chaired by Professor Martin Weale.
Following the UK’s exit from the European statistical system, we are strengthening the governance arrangements for official economic statistics, focussing on the ways we produce, and assure our statistics.
At the centre of this new governance framework will be the new National Statistician’s Committee for Advice on Standards for Economic Statistics (NSCASE). NSCASE will ensure our processes for influencing and adopting international statistical standards are of a high standard. NSCASE will support the National Statistician in his decisions about the statistical guidance the UK will follow in the future. The advice NSCASE provides to the National Statistician will span the full range of domains in economic statistics, including the National Accounts, fiscal statistics, prices, trade and the balance of payments and labour market statistics.
David Caplan is a statistician with extensive experience of the production and use of economic statistics. In the first half of his career, he held a range of posts within the ONS including multiple roles in the national accounts. David then moved on to a range of senior posts including Director of Research and Analysis at the Audit Commission, and, most recently, Head of the Essex Centre for Data Analytics. He also co-founded an economics consultancy.
Robert Heath is a former Deputy Director of the IMF Statistics Department responsible for methodological development in economic statistics, overseeing the publication of IMF statistical manuals and guides including the 6th edition of the Balance of Payments Manual and Government Finance Statistics Manual 2014.
Paul Mizen is Professor of Monetary Economics at the University of Nottingham where he leads research into use of economic statistics to support policy making at the Bank of England, COBRA, the Cabinet Office, 10 Downing St and various Government Departments; he is an ONS Fellow, member of the Economic Experts Working Group and ESCoE.

Impact of the Financial Turmoil on the Romanian Capital Market
The unprecedented financial and economic world present turmoil is dangerously covering the Europe and Japan, coming from the USA and being more painful than the economic downturn of the ‘80s. A massive decrease of trust and confidence is also perceived by consumers and business alike, and their answer and reaction is a continuous cut of the expenditures. With a view to rebuild the stability and to recover the economy, the USA government as well as certain Western European governments have nationalised substantial parts of their financial sectors, in such an extent that is simply against the modern capitalism basis. Actually, the whole world is changing its usual course, towards an age when the role of the state is becoming greater and greater, while the role and the significance of the private sector is drastically diminishing, as the most dramatic consequence of the present crisis. Annalists’ opinions consider July 2007 as the beginning of the present financial turmoil, since this was the moment when the appearance of the first mortgages troubles seriously upset the global stock exchange markets, as shown in the records of the negative major indices or in the weekly - and even daily – downturns, hardly to conceive and unseen in the last five years. One can consider that the real lesson of the actual financial turmoil consists in the necessity of an ideal meeting between the most important theoretical systems concerning the economic and social process and phenomena, in order to create a new and more desirable model of economy and society. This normative and explanatory character of the new theory and synthesis is keen connected with the necessary giving-up the old model of the economic and social optimality that should be replaced by the new model of sustainability.

Needed this motivation! My daily workout routine - lately it has been nonexistent. But I blame that on my new job. Usually I try and do cardio 2 times a week and yoga or pilates 3 times!
I love doing yoga at least once or twice a week (but I should do it more often!) and I love to go running if their isn't any snow on the streets. Right now running is really no option unless you want to slide instead of run :DHave a happy day!
Great shot! Right now I have no weekly routine (I know, I know...) mostly because of my work schedule, which is about to change since I got a new job! Hopefully now I will be able to get something normal going. Oh and my night class is about to end, which occupied 2 nights a week. Morning workouts don't happen for me. I realize this is just a lot of excuses, but I'm working on it! What I really love to do it Cardio Barre (we've blogged about it before, if you've never tried it I highly suggest it).Strive to Thrive,Nicwww.Thriving-Wives.com
This is great and so true don't wait just start now and commit!! I try to run 3 to 4 times a week, bike and do strengthening the days I don't run. I also do some Tae Kwon Do and Kick boxing! There is seriously nothing like a good workout!
Haha, sliding would be fun too, Kristina :) Yoga in the winter is perfect - I try and do it once a week too! Proud of you for exercising through the winter!
Rachel - I am beyond impressed with you! And the fact you do Tae Kwon Do, how do you have time to fit it all in? Impressed...so impressed
Crossfit 5-6 days a week (Yes I am a fellow addict). I love that you love Crossfit as well!! Love your pictures also, keep up the great work! Do you work out at an all girls gym?
I've been wanting to try crossfit! Right now my workout routine is weather dependent... On good days its hiking, mountain biking, or a run. Snowshoeing or xcountry skiing in the winter, and other such nonsense. I'm loving your blog! Found it through #followfriday
Mine is so simple I walk everywhere and I do an hour of yoga everyday. And when I can't manage an hour I make sure I get atleast 15 minutes lol :) I don't think crossfit is for me though, I'm real lazy but I totally admire my friends who have stuck with it!
I should seriously get back in the gym, and you just reminded me why! Oh, to have abs like they are made out of stone! Sigh.

From 1-3 August 1997, the Southern Ocean Planning Group of the International Global Ocean Ecosystem Dynamics (GLOBEC) Program and other interested persons (ANNEX 1) met at the Hubbs-Sea World Research Institute in San Diego, CA. The objective of the meeting was to develop cruise and sampling plans for a Southern Ocean GLOBEC program and to begin the development of the infrastructure needed to coordinate and undertake such a program. The starting points for the workshop discussions were the Southern Ocean GLOBEC (SO GLOBEC) science and implementation plans that were published in International GLOBEC Reports 5 and 7, respectively.
The first portion of the workshop agenda (ANNEX 2) consisted of reviewing the existing SO GLOBEC documents and providing updates on GLOBEC activities in several countries. Following this, considerable discussion focused on recent studies that have shown the importance of sea ice in structuring the Antarctic marine ecosystem (e.g., Siegel and Loeb, 1995, Marine Ecology Progress Series). It was noted that the interactions between penguins, krill, and sea ice were not explicit in the existing SO GLOBEC science questions and it was felt that these questions needed to be amended or rewritten to include this aspect of the Antarctic marine ecosystem. The meeting participants also felt that the breadth of the SO GLOBEC program should be more narrowly focused in terms of target species and location. The modifications to the existing SO GLOBEC science and implementation plans are detailed in the following sections. A formatted version of this report can be obtained at http://www.ccpo.odu.edu:80/Research/globec/aug97meeting/final.html.
The major change suggested for the science aspect of Southern Ocean GLOBEC was to select Antarctic krill (Euphausia superba) as the primary target species. The focus on Antarctic krill includes the habitat, prey, predators, and competitors of this species. The science questions for the zooplankton and top predator target species were modified to reflect this narrowing in focus and are given below.
Also, the meeting participants felt strongly that the SO GLOBEC program should be a year-round study, with emphasis on austral winter processes. Recent evidence indicates that seasonal coverage is necessary to fully understand the linkages between the environment, krill, and top predators. This is also reflected in the revised science questions.
The field portion of Southern Ocean GLOBEC is scheduled to begin in 1999/2000 and will focus on two primary sites: the Antarctic Peninsula region and E and the surrounding area. The Antarctic Peninsula region will be studied through a multi-nation, multi-ship effort in order to obtain seasonal coverage, especially in the austral winter. Studies in the E region will be primarily seasonal. Specifics of the two primary sampling sites are given below. Additional Southern Ocean GLOBEC field sites are encouraged. These may cover a single season, such as austral summer, but with a focus on Southern Ocean GLOBEC questions. Furthermore, the use of ships of opportunity to obtain measurements at other times and locations is encouraged. Given the differences in the environment and marine ecosystem in the austral winter and summer, the Southern Ocean GLOBEC studies for these times will not necessarily be the same. The site selection, detailed below, reflects the desire to have one field program that is designed to follow an entire overwintering cycle of a krill population during one year. Other sites will focus on various processes during autumn, winter, and early spring, which in general are of importance in the krill life cycle. Thus, the multiple sites will provide overlap in activities but with a slightly different focus for each of the areas.
It was recommended that, in the Antarctic Peninsula region, Southern Ocean GLOBEC follow the general guidelines given in the Implementation Plan (GLOBEC Report No. 7). Two major multinational projects should be planned, each with a minimum of six months duration. These would include a Summer Study, focused on foraging and recruitment, and a Winter Study, focused on overwintering strategies.
The research format should consist of two elements: a synoptic, mesoscale Time Series Survey over an area of 40,000 and Process Studies aimed at understanding phenomena and mechanisms of crucial importance in the survey area. These two elements would alternate at two-week intervals, providing a continuous research effort over a period of six months for both the Summer Study and the Winter Study.
It was agreed that a site for the Time Series Surveys in the Antarctic Peninsula region should be chosen according to the following dominant criteria:
The last criterion was deemed especially important, as a need was acknowledged to follow target populations during each six-month study period, rather than to cause the survey grid to be fixed in space. Furthermore, the need was acknowledged to assure that the time series measurements will resolve population dynamics of krill, which demands that measurements be made at intervals of no less than two weeks throughout the Time Series Survey.
The optimal site was recommended to be near Anvers Island, as this site appears to best satisfy the criteria outlined above. Both krill and predator populations occur in the region, which is definitely subject to seasonal ice coverage. The probability that the survey grid would be strongly advected is thought to be much lower than further east in the Peninsula region, where strong eastward advection is known. To the contrary, there is evidence for a recirculating gyre in waters northwest of Anvers Island. Advection of the survey grid from this area is likely to be minimal by comparison to other sites. Sites further to the west (i.e., the coastal Bellingshausen Sea) are often subject to ice cover for the entire year and thus might not be accessible during summer to vessels that are not ice-strengthened.
Two windows of opportunity appear within the next 4 years, during which times it appears possible that ice-strengthened research vessels of several nations would be able to coordinate activities for a repetitive Time Series Survey. The first such opportunity is during 1999. The Polarstern will be in the region from March through May, which provides an opportunity to obtain winter measurements. There are plans for a Japanese vessel to be present in the region the following summer, though it is dedicated to research in an area of secondary priority, north of Livingston Island. The second opportunity does not appear again until 2001, when both the Polarstern and the James Clark Ross might again be present, but this period would be earlier in the year and most likely would allow for coverage in the summer.
It was recommended that detailed planning and logistic preparations be discussed in a forthcoming regional planning meeting, with all interested parties present. There is a need for such a planning meeting to happen very soon so that ship schedules may have time to be accommodated.
SO GLOBEC studies in the Indian Ocean sector present a different set of opportunities and limitations from those proposed in the South Atlantic. The coastline of the Antarctic in Southern Indian Ocean runs approximately parallel to the lines of latitude and the major current systems for much of the region between E and E, yet there are major regional differences in the amount of seasonal and permanent ice cover. This region thus has the potential to be a natural laboratory for the study of the effects of the physical environment on the marine ecosystem. The South Indian Ocean sector may also be more "typical" of large sections of the Antarctic coastline and is a region which offers a contrast to the better studied Antarctic Peninsula region.
There are far fewer research stations in East Antarctica (~8 between 40-E and there are fewer opportunities for marine research because few research vessels operate in this region. There has been some fishing activity in this area in the past, but there has been no krill catch from the South Indian Ocean sectors for the last three years. The waters of the continental shelf in this area have been studied little except in specific areas, e.g., Prydz Bay, and there are few long-term data sets either from land-based studies or from ship-based surveys. Because of these limitations, studies in the Southern Indian Ocean will have to address a subset of the questions that SO GLOBEC has posed.
This question can be rephrased as several related sub-questions:
These questions can be addressed in the Indian Ocean sector through a combination of shore-based and ship-based studies.
This question is probably intractable in the Indian Ocean sector. It requires considerable information on krill distribution and abundance and the dispersion patterns of krill. There is little historical information of this nature and it is unlikely to become available in the short to medium term. There is some possibility, however, that minke whale data may provide some information pertinent to this question.
Information on the year-to-year variation in the predator parameters is available from CEMP studies (at Mawson station) and from other long-term studies in the Indian Ocean Sector. Question (i) is currently amenable to study, while question (ii) is unlikely to be possible due to lack of long-term krill data.
The needed predator measurements are: winter distribution and behavior of key predators, breeding success, and population size. Data sources for these are from time series at selected sites (e.g., CEMP sites), experimental studies, and coordinated-ordinated land-based and ship-based research.
These research questions can be further reduced. Questions 1 and 4 can be combined as:
This question requires seasonal and geographic-based studies.
Research questions 2 and 3 can be rephrased as:
Studies in the Indian Ocean sector will be able to address several aspects of these questions.
Potential krill overwintering strategies consist of: a) shrinkage, b) metabolic reduction, and c) feeding on/under ice algae, benthos, protozoans, and/or zooplankton. The question is then what physical/biological factors determine which strategy is followed?
The krill measurements needed to differentiate the various possible overwintering strategies are: growth rates, metabolic rates and biochemical measurements, condition factor, reproductive rates, and feeding. The latter further requires studies of diet analysis, feeding rates, and food selectivity. Studies in the Indian Ocean sector will be able to address these questions related to overwintering strategies through field and experimental studies.
The types of data sources needed to address SO GLOBEC questions are listed and the likelihood of obtaining these is indicated.
Given the focus of SO GLOBEC there are only a few locations in the Indian Ocean sector where a study might be possible. These locations are highlighted because they are the sites of existing or past land-based studies and are in locations where land-based predators access the krill-based ecosystem. These locations are also situated where there is some (limited) knowledge of the marine ecosystem from past ship-based studies and where there are planned ship-based activities in the next 5-10 years.
Mawson (~E) Positive features Existing CEMP Site (5 years of data) Other well studied predator colonies (emperor penguins, petrels) Close to krill-based ecosystem High ice cover area Regular occurrence of coastal polynya
Negative features Distance (at least 12 days from Australia) High ice cover (increases transit time)
Syowa station (~E) Positive features Well studied predator colonies Selected CCAMLR monitoring site Negative features Distance (at least 15 days from Australia) Difficult ice conditions No planned winter access
Dumont d'Urville (~E) Positive features Studied predator colonies Low ice area Short travel time (~6 days from Australia) Oceanography/glaciology well studied Recent commercial fishing nearby Nearby coastal polynyas Negative features Probably not krill-based system Second low-ice study area
Casey Station (~E) Positive features Studied predator colonies Shorter travel time (~6 days from Australia) Recent commercial fishing nearby Negative features No CEMP site Difficult ice conditions
Davis Station (~E) Positive features Studied predator colonies Travel time (~10 days from Australia) Good experimental facilities Best offshore data base (Prydz Bay) Negative features No CEMP site Difficult ice conditions Not krill-based ecosystem Situated in embayment (Prydz Bay)
The site chosen for SO GLOBEC will obviously depend on the questions being addressed but will also have to take into account national priorities and the availability of both land-based and ship-based facilities. Planned Australian marine research could address SO GLOBEC questions 2 and 3. This list is tentative and the list of research programs is firm only for the 1998/99 season.
1998/99 August/September Polynya study ~E December Seal Survey as part of APIS 1999/2000 November Ice edge bloom time series February-March Krill/zooplankton fine scale studies off Mawson Station.
Beyond this season, the vessel schedule is not well defined; the nature of the vessel operation (number of ship, type, etc.) is still under negotiation.
The workshop participants recognized that a data management policy was a priority for SO GLOBEC. Such policies are already in existence for other multi-national, multidisciplinary programs (e.g., JGOFS, International GLOBEC) and the consensus was that these policies cover the issues of concern to SO GLOBEC. Therefore, the existing data policy adopted by the International GLOBEC program was modified for SO GLOBEC. This data management policy is given in ANNEX 3.
The meeting participants also identified the need for Data Management and Modeling Working Groups and recommended that these groups be formed as soon as possible. Nominations are being solicited for membership in these working groups.
Since the Southern Ocean GLOBEC program will consist of several sampling sites and involve participation by multiple nations, the meeting participants identified the establishment of an international coordination office as a priority. The location of this office is yet to be determined. However, all meeting participants were requested to investigate the possibility of hosting this office or providing support for such an office.
The ice breaker, the R/V Nathaniel B. Palmer, is the best potential platform for U.S. SO GLOBEC field activities because of the focus on winter processes. The current allocations for requested ship time for projects funded by the National Science Foundation, Office of Polar Programs have this vessel scheduled for January through July of 1999. At present, this vessel is available for 2000 and 2001; however, proposals are pending with the Office of Polar Programs for field studies during this time. Continued availability of the R/V Nathaniel B. Palmer is contingent upon future funding decisions.
The German research vessel, Polarstern, will be in the Southern Ocean from March to May 1999 to undertake biological research. This time is confirmed, however, it is still to be determined the amount of this time that the Polarstern will be able to work in the Antarctic Peninsula region. Logistical constraints on ship time are still to be worked out.
Three potential contributions to the SO GLOBEC field program, in terms of cruises, from the British Antarctic Survey (BAS) were considered and discussed. The first was a cruise on the RRS James Clark Ross (JCR) in the June-September 1999 period. This would follow the 1999 March-May Polarstern cruise and precede a potential U.S. cruise. Unfortunately, there is no possibility of BAS being able to support a JCR cruise at this time.
The second possibility is a cruise in the winter of 2000, which is ideal for the U.S. program, or 2001, if 1999 is impossible. Unfortunately, BAS cannot mount a winter cruise during this time because all its marine staff will have been committed to two 30-day cruises (Core Programme and Krill Biomass Survey) in the 1999/2000 summer. However, the JCR could be made available for a winter cruise if there were external resources (e.g., via a UK Thematic Bid to the Natural Environment Research Council (NERC) and/or via technical and scientific collaboration with other potential participants in the cruise (e.g., AWI, LTER, etc.)) to complement a reduced BAS staff input.
The third possibility is a BAS/UK summer cruise in SO GLOBEC Antarctic Peninsula study area. If a cruise in winter 2000 has not taken place, then the Marine Life Sciences Division (MLSD), BAS would expect to be able to undertake a 30-day cruise in the SO GLOBEC study area (and linked to Rothera) in the spring-summer of 2000/2001. If a winter cruise has taken place, it will not be possible to undertake a summer cruise until 2001/2002 at the earliest.
The BAS can provide to SO GLOBEC results of krill-related research based at/around Rothera (including physiology and related work). It should be possible to undertake appropriate work for SO GLOBEC and to offer collaborative opportunities at Rothera in the summer of 2000/2001. Note that in the adjacent summers, the life science priority at Rothera is allocated to terrestrial sciences. Marine science has the priority in 1998/99, 2000/01, 2002/03. This does not preclude small-scale collaborative work in terrestrial seasons.
Support for the use of BAS aircraft for survey work over ice and adjacent areas would probably be limited to the summer period. The cost of wintering a twin otter and crew at Rothera would likely be prohibitive, even if technically feasible.
The planned Australian activities in next 5 years that could support SO GLOBEC related research are:
Winter 1998: joint Australia/U.S. polynya project (Aurora Australis and Nathaniel B. Palmer) in E region. Mainly physical but considerable possibility for biological research. Contacts for biological elements--Australia, Steve Nicol and U.S., Walker Smith and Ray Smith.
1998/99: APIS surveys late spring.
Future years: fine scale survey for krill off Mawson Base (E). Possible SO GLOBEC link.
winter--polynya study near Mawson (E). Possible SO GLOBEC link.
Mawson Base continuing CCAMLR Ecosystem Monitoring Program.
Also opportunistic ship-based studies on up to 7 voyages/year. Laboratory-based studies on krill using aquarium facilities at Antarctic Division in Hobart.
The Japanese Antarctic Research Expedition (JARE) has been conducting routine oceanographic and marine biological observations onboard the icebreaker, Shirase, in the Indian sector of the Antarctic Ocean. The ship leaves Fremantle, Western Australia in early December and arrives at Syowa Station (E, S) in mid-late December every year. The ship leaves the Syowa Station area in mid-late February and arrives at Sydney, Australia in mid-March. A total of 15-25 oceanographic stations are occupied along the cruise track every summer. In recent years, the SO-JGOFS-related observations were carried out at the so-called Indian sector time series station (S, E), which was established as the French initiative station. Time series observations are now carried out as part of the French-Australia-Japan collaborative framework of SO-JGOFS. Japan is now conducting time series sediment trap experiments. Continuous measurements of surface chlorophyll a, zooplankton abundance, and related parameters are made onboard and measurements of in water and in air are also carried out. Since the 1997/98 summer season, satellite data from the SeaWiFS sensor is received onboard. The Sea Ice and Penguin Study (SIPENS) has been carried out at Syowa Station to clarify Adélie penguin foraging behavior and breeding success, particularly in relation to the variability of sea ice.
The Kaiyo-Maru, operated by the National Research Institute of Far Seas Fisheries, is planning to conduct a research cruise in the Scotia Sea region for the 1999/2000 austral summer season in connection with the CCAMLR synoptic survey in Area 48.
In connection with the IWC program, Japan has been conducting the Japanese Whale Research Program under special permit in the Antarctic since 1989/90. The program is scheduled for a 16-year duration and focuses on the IWC Whaling Area IV (70-E) and Area V (E to W) in alternate years.
The T/S Umitaka Maru (Tokyo University of Fisheries) and R/V Hakuho Maru (Ocean Research Institute, University of Tokyo) are potential ships of opportunity in the near future. However, the exact schedule for these ships has not yet been decided at this stage. These two ships participated in the BIOMASS program and have made other research cruises in the Southern Ocean in recent years.
The Polar Research Center of the Korean Ocean Research and Development Institute (KORDI) has conducted oceanographic and biological surveys in the Atlantic sector of the Southern Ocean since 1988. The main objectives are: 1) to understand structure and function of the marine ecosystem in the Weddell Sea marginal ice zone and geochemical process on particle flux and energy flow, and 2) to understand energy and carbon flow connecting marine and terrestrial ecosystem near King Sejong Station with relation to global environmental changes.
The biological oceanographic research was designed to examine physical and biological processes that give rise to high biological productivity in the marginal sea ice-edge zone of the northwestern Weddell Sea and to look for a phytoplankton bloom effect over all trophic levels. In the 1996/97 season, the cruise included 22 stations in the Weddell Sea ice-edge region. This cruise focused on a small but representative geographic region, with a research plan for high-resolution sampling. A new understanding of ecosystem dynamics and the mesoscale upper-ocean circulation can emerge only from intensive study of a more restricted geographic region. Our study has investigated two major questions: 1) what are the mechanisms which result in enhanced productivity at all trophic levels in nearshore waters? and 2) is the ice-edge region an ecological interface among distinct biological communities, one associated with the open ocean and one with ice-edge waters, and, if so, what are the dynamics of these regional communities? To address these questions, we measured the distributions of bacteria, phytoplankton, and zooplankton and, whenever possible, their rate processes, over a wide range of conditions in the different regions and the relationships with physical and chemical parameters.
In the coastal region, field and laboratory work had been done on shallow water benthic organisms at King Sejong Station on King George Island. Experimental studies on feeding physiology and ecology of the Antarctic benthos in Marian Cove (King George Island) had been conducted to evaluate the contribution of benthic species to organic carbon flux in the Antarctic coastal waters. Research was focused on adaptive strategies of marine benthic invertebrates and the role of benthic communities in the carbon cycle. Summer metabolic rates of a dominant infauna, the bivalve, Laternula elliptica, were determined to get better understanding on its ecological and physiological strategies dealing with extremely seasonal food availability. Measurements of nutrient fluxes from benthic communities were conducted using diver-operated in situ chambers to quantify the organic matter processed by nearshore benthic communities.
Seasonal variations in species composition, abundance, and productivity of water column microalgal populations were also investigated in the nearshore waters near the station in order to understand the dynamics and, furthermore, to clarify the interactions with benthic communities. Related oceanographic and meteorological parameters, such as ice cover, seawater and air temperature, salinity, wind speed, and UV-radiation were also routinely measured over the year of 1996. As part of long-term monitoring of human impacts, heavy metal accumulations in indicator species, such as marine mollusks, are being assessed.
South Africa does not have any specific GLOBEC-related plans at this stage. Activities currently planned for the next two austral summers are:
1997/98: joint cruise to eastern Weddell Sea with Sweden. JGOFS focus
1998/99: joint cruise with New Zealand. Circumpolar passage(?) with JGOFS work on Polar Front south of New Zealand and krill-predator study in Ross Sea. Latter likely to have SO GLOBEC relevance.
Post-2000: the national Antarctic program enters the next cycle of five-year funding. At this stage, pre-planning as noted the potential significance of SO GLOBEC-related studies. Such research could be built around joint ventures, possibilities include focusing on the CCAMLR Ecological Monitoring Programme site at Bouvet Island where there is currently cooperation with the Norwegian program.
Research by the British Antarctic Survey, centered around the island of South Georgia, contains several elements of direct relevance to the objectives of SO GLOBEC. The current program of ship-based research includes studies of interannual variability in the physical environment and in key plankton stocks and processes and a series of process-study cruises. Two cruises in 1997-98 will examine plankton interactions in the beginning of the growing season and geneflow in key species in the Scotia Sea and Antarctic Peninsula region. Analysis of archive acoustic data has also been used to examine the large-scale transport of krill stocks to South Georgia and planned studies aim to determine the physical constraints on the location and duration of krill swarms. Work on higher predators and their interactions with the plankton and nekton food supply is also carried out, as part of a long-term research program on Bird Island. This is complemented by at-sea observations of predator distribution in relation to environmental variability and prey distribution.
There is also a strong UK GLOBEC community which has expressed an interest in Southern Ocean studies. The UK GLOBEC committee has resubmitted a proposal for a thematic funding bid to NERC. Although primarily focused on UK territorial waters, the bid includes research components which are directed at more general aspects of zooplankton interrelationships with their environment. Such studies would use the Southern Ocean as a site, but funding is not available for this at present.
Krill is the target species of the Southern Ocean GLOBEC program with a particular focus on krill habitat, prey, predators, and competitors. It will be a year-round study, with emphasis on winter processes concentrating on two primary field sites. German contributions will be carried out around the Antarctic Peninsula using the German research vessel, Polarstern, focusing on late autumn/early winter behavior of krill with respect to overwintering habitats (team leader: V. Smetacek, Bremerhaven). Additional activities are detection and measuring of krill schooling, swarm formation, and grazing activities (U. Bathmann, Bremerhaven); investigations of age-classes and developmental stages (V. Siegel, Hamburg); determination of enzymatic and physiological characteristics of krill stages (H.-O. Portner, Bremerhaven and F. Buchholz, Helgoland); studies on the under-sea-ice habitat as a potential hiding ground for krill (G. Dieckmann, Bremerhaven); and investigations on krill food sources (S. Schnack-Schiel and U. Bathmann, Bremerhaven). To supplement this program, Australian, Japanese, and South African scientists will study the second field site, which is located at E. Here, the same scientific approach will be followed, however, with seasonal coverage. Southern Ocean GLOBEC will be operational starting in 1999.
The United States Antarctic Marine Living Resources Program (AMLR), funded through the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), provides scientific information needed for U.S. policy relating to the conservation and management of the Antarctic marine living resources in the context of CCAMLR. For about ten years, the AMLR program has conducted research in the Antarctic Peninsula region during the austral summer from land-based stations and ships. These included studies of predator (seals and sea birds) and prey (krill) interactions. The oceanographic surveys are focused on krill and environment (e.g., hydrography) interactions. Previous land-based predator studies were done at Seal Island, near Elephant Island; however, the focus of the land-based AMRL research has moved to Livingston Island. Also, NOAA funds a cooperative effort with the U.S. National Science Foundation, Office of Polar Programs, to study penguin populations located near Palmer Station on Anvers Island. For more information on this program, please check http://swfsc.ucsd.edu:80/antarctic.html or http://swfsc.ucsd.edu:80/anta_div.html.
The Long-Term Ecological Research (LTER) Program is funded by the U.S. National Science Foundation, Office of Polar Programs and is based at Palmer Station on Anvers Island. The Palmer LTER was established in Fall 1990. The program focuses on the pelagic ecosystem in Antarctic and the ecological processes that link the extent of annual sea ice to the biological dynamics of different trophic levels. An extensive field program has been undertaken as part of the Palmer LTER, which consists of sampling the nearshore environment around Palmer Station and research cruises that cover a larger area offshore over the continental shelf. Specific areas of research interest include hydrography, nutrient dynamics, phytoplankton and bacterioplankton studies, krill, and seabirds. Since 1992, a bottom-moored sediment trap array has been collecting data on the export of particulate matter on the west Antarctic Peninsula continental shelf. For more information on this program, please check http://www.nsf.gov/od/opp/.
The Antarctic Pack Ice Seals (APIS) research program has been established by the SCAR Group of Specialists on Seals to coordinate and stimulate research activities on seals in the sea ice zone of Antarctica. In particular, it aims to carry out a circumpolar survey of pack ice seal distribution and abundance during the 1998/99 austral summer. Studies relevant to understanding the environmental factors affecting distribution and abundance will be carried out concurrently with surveys. This includes collection of data about the physical environment, food availability, foraging patterns of seals, and correlations with the presence of other top marine predators. Standard survey and sampling methodologies have been developed and results from different national programs will be combined to ensure the largest possible coverage. Participants include Australia, Germany, Norway, South Africa, United Kingdom, and United States. The program is due to end after 1998/99, but it is likely that the results from APIS will highlight areas of specific interest that could be taken up under the banner of GLOBEC in subsequent years. For more information on this program, please check http://nmml01.afsc.noaa.gov/apis/apis.htm.
Many nations have conducted oceanographic surveys in Antarctic Peninsula region, although with different research objectives. Since the 1994/95 field season, four nations (Germany, Japan, Korea, USA) have agreed to conduct joint oceanographic cruises in the Antarctic Peninsula region. At the start of the cruise, each nation undertakes research that contributes to the goals of its national program. However, the CCAMLR Subgroup on International Coordination requested that the member countries spend a minimum effort (1 or 2 days) in a certain area taking standardized samples. The sampling protocols for collecting the oceanographic time series data had been discussed during several CCAMLR meetings. To date, the four participating nations have conducted coordinated oceanographic surveys on one transect (5-8 Stations) near Elephant Island during the 1994/95 and 1996/97 field years. Conclusions and new findings from these data sets were obtained through workshops in 1995 (Hamburg, Germany) and 1997 (La Jolla, CA, USA). These results were reported to the CCAMLR Working Group on Environmental Monitoring and Management in reports WG-EMM-95/58 and WG-EMM-97/44, respectively.
The Ecology of the Antarctic Sea-Ice Zone (EASIZ) program is an international program supported by SCAR (Scientific Committee on Antarctic Research). It is coordinated through an international steering committee, chaired by Andrew Clarke from the British Antarctic Survey, Cambridge, England. The scientific aim of the EASIZ program is to improve our understanding of that part of the Southern Ocean covered by seasonal or long-term sea-ice. It thus covers a significant fraction of the area of interest to SO GLOBEC. The EASIZ program is concerned with both the water column and the benthos and those processes which link these two oceanographic zones. The EASIZ program was designed in particular around the year-round observational capacity of shore-based facilities. Such observations are important in providing winter data, and thereby a means of separating the spatial and temporal patterns which are inevitably confounded within ship-based studies. To date, most EASIZ work has concerned the benthic environment, with year-round data including near-shore oceanography and autecology of selected species. There have also been significant studies of physiological adaptation to low temperature.

There are large data management concerns for the SO GLOBEC project. The challenges are:
Data sharing and exchange are essential components of SO GLOBEC interdisciplinary studies. At the end of SO GLOBEC project all data have to be published on the Internet and archived in a data center of the World Data Center System in order to ensure a lasting contribution to marine science.
SO GLOBEC will use a decentralized data management and distribution system connected to a central directory system.
All investigators should be prepared to share their data and data products and should recognize the `proprietorship' of such data (`rights to first publication/authorship') acquired from other investigators.
SO GLOBEC investigators retain the primary responsibility for data quality control and assurance. Investigators should be prepared to track updates, corrections and dataset ``versions''.
Each SO GLOBEC program/project should create an inventory of data and data products.
To facilitate implementation of this strategy, members of the SO GLOBEC Steering Committee will provide the chair with nominations (including attached CVs) for suitable members to serve on the DMWG by 15 September 1997. Membership of the group shall comprise of a mix of field workers who are familiar with the likely scope of data to be collected during SO GLOBEC and those with experience in information technology/management. The DMWG should urgently commence its work and meet in the first quarter of 1998. For educational reasons, this meeting should be sited at a facility, such as Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution, where the database for a similar program (i.e., SO-JGOFS) is housed.

If you follow the Popular Woodworking Editors’ Blog, you might remember Bob Lang writing a series of posts about a hand tool exercise called the Gottshall Block. The block is an exercise in layout and handwork, the idea being to take a rough sawn board and create this object, that has specific dimensions and contains most types of joinery, by hand.
When first reading the series of posts, I thought that this was an interesting project for refining a woodworker’s skills. I consider myself a hybrid woodworker, but right now I definitely lean to the power tool side of center. I’m also a bit of a smartass, so I thought to myself “Why not try to make one of these with just power tools?” Here is the result:
I was true to the “power tool only” constraints I placed on myself for this exercise. Here’s how I cut each part:
- Front Edge & Bottom Face – Jointer
- Top Face/Thickness – Planer
- Back Edge, Rabbet – Table Saw
- Mortise, Dados, Gain – Hollow Chisel Mortiser
- Concave Curve – Forstner Bit
- Convex Curve – Spindle Sander
- Miter – Miter Saw
I have to thank Matt Gradwohl of UpperCut Woodworks. I don’t own a hollow chisel mortiser and he was kind enough to let me use his when I was visiting Seattle back in late July. We also jointed and planed the board in his shop.
I have a couple of thoughts on my choices of tools. I cut the rabbet with my normal blade on the table saw, a la Norm Abram, chipping away at the wood. If my shop wasn’t in complete disarray (and I wasn’t butted up against my self imposed deadline of finishing this before Woodworking In America) I would have used my stacked dado set to cut the rabbet. That would have likely left a smoother cut. The convex curve would have been cut on the bandsaw if it were larger, but the amount of wood that needed to be removed was so small that the sander was enough for the whole cut, not just the finishing.
The one place that I wasn’t able to get great results with just power tools was the inside corners of the gain:
The way I approached this cut was to plunge with the mortiser down into the face of the board at the inner most shoulder of the gain. Then I flipped the board on edge and plunged down the “length” of the gain. This gave me crisp lines on the face of the board, but the inner corners are a mess. I tried to clean some of it up with the smallest router bit I had, but that didn’t go very well. Perhaps if I had the world’s smallest router bit with a bearing, it could have worked. As it is, this is easily the most sloppy part of the block.
I’ll be bringing this with me to Woodworking in America this weekend – hoping to get Bob to sign it for me! If you want to check it out, find me milling about during the conference and come say hi!

This weekend is Erin's Husband's Birthday. He LOVES chocolate chip cookies. When preparing for the wedding there was a brief discussion about wedding cake then it was decided that there would be no cake, Tim only wanted chocolate chip cookies.
This week, we decided to figure out the best chocolate chip cookie. Most of the research has already been done in that since Tim loves these cookies so much we've made quite a few. A basic, tried and true stand-by is the Good Ol' Nestle Toll House recipe. Its hard to find something wrong with this recipe, to make an improvement, but people try, well respected people like Martha Stewart, Cooks Illustrated, um...us. Ok, so it's back to Sesame Street and "one of these things is not like the others" but I digress.
We started with the Toll House recipe. We made it as instructed. It's supposed to yield 5 dozen cookies! I don't think we've ever ended up with 60 cookies but we followed it as directed at least for the first batch. It calls for 1 rounded tablespoon of dough.
Now, that's not very much and we wanted bigger chewier cookies. We about doubled the size of the dough balls and were happy with that. Anyone who's made cookies before knows the risk in this practice; siamese cookies. Luckily, we happen to be excellent cookie surgeons or tearer-aparters...
Our recipe follows the Cook's recipe except for when it comes to complicating the cookie. We browned 10 tablespoons of butter and mixed in the rest to add some flavor to the dough.
Cook's adds a step here to make the cookie crunchier and add a toffee flavor. We wanted a chewy cookie so we skipped it. There's also a 60% Dark Brown sugar to 40% White granulated sugar ratio instead of equal parts like the Toll House recipe. Again, this adds flavor. Instead of Ghirardelli, which we've used in the past, we went with the same Toll House morsels. Tim just likes the taste better. We can't help what he likes. He does eat a wide range of delicious and fancy to generic foods, from Filet Mignon to Hot Dogs. This just happens to be more on the Hot Dog end of the scale.
These cookies are bigger. 3 tablespoons instead of 1.
We think that they look prettier too.
In a side by side comparison, we like our modified Cook's Cookie better. The dough was nuttier and more flavorful. The bite was more appealing than the thin Toll House cookie. We also liked that the chocolate chip to dough ratio was higher.
In the end though it was up to Tim. Which cookie did he like best? The Nestle Toll House one. Grr!
Lessons learned: Make them more often. Tim will be happy with any homemade chocolate chip cookie. Literally, he is happy when he has one. Happy Birthday Tim!
The Toll House recipe is easy to find but here it is:
2 1/4 Cups All purpose flour
1 tsp. baking soda
1 tsp. salt
1 cup (2 sticks) butter, softened
3/4 cup granulated sugar
3/4 cup packed brown sugar
1 tspn vanilla extract
2 large eggs
2 cups (12 oz pkg) Nestle Toll House Semi-Sweet Chocolate Morsels
We skipped the cup of chopped nuts.
Preheat oven to 375
Combine flour, baking soda, and salt
Beat butter, sugars, and vanilla till creamy then add eggs
Slowly add flour mixture till just combined, then add the morsels
Drop rounded tablespoon (or in our case, closer to 2 tablespoons) on baking sheets
Bake for 9-11 minutes.
We're sorry to report that the other recipe is property of Cook's Illustrated though we adapted it a little. We assume that posting it here would be in violation of their Use poilcy. We can say that their online service is incredibly thorough and helpful in learning to cook or bake and is great for coming up with ideas. They offer a 14 day Free trial and their service is $34.95/year. Their recipe is called "The Perfect Chocolate Chip Cookie" and has loads of info about why they chose each ingredient, quantity, and process. There's no limit to what one can learn from them. We should point out that they are the same people who make the America's Test Kitchen TV show and cookbook that we LOVE.

I received a call from the school telling me my son is constantly lying. I said "Tell him he's a good liar. I don't have a son."

How can you tell when a woman is about to say something smart? When she starts a sentence with "a man once told me".
My son asked me what it's like to be married so I told him to leave me alone and when he did I asked him why he was ignoring me.
I asked my wife what she wanted for Christmas. She told me "Nothing would make her happier than a diamond necklace" So I bought her nothing.
To this day, the boy that used to bully me at school still takes my lunch money. On the plus side, he makes great Subway sandwiches.

Overhead weight room exercises such as presses and jerks have gained increasing popularity in recent years. When appropriately prescribed and programed, the performances of these overhead exercises are of great benefit to athletes of various sports of participation. This dialog will provide the reader with some considerations when prescribing overhead weight room exercises.
The daily activities of life as well as the requirements of athletic performance, necessitate the ability to repetitively perform overhead effectively. A painter, an electrician, a construction worker, a basketball, volleyball, tennis, track and field or throwing athlete, are examples of individuals who are required to perform overhead optimally and repeatedly over time.
Overhead weight room exercise performance is preferably performed in the standing position. Most athletic endeavors begin and end on two feet. Athletes compete on their feet, and to wind up in a seated position or on one’s back is rarely if ever effective during athletic competition.
There are a variety of exercises available for selection for overhead weight room exercise performance. The various physical qualities trained include strength, power, and elastic abilities. Overhead training in the standing position requires a contribution and coordination of the entire body to produce an optimal exercise performance. Exercises such as the military press and push press emphasize strength qualities where exercises as push jerks and split jerks include a power/speed component. The eccentric “dip” that occurs during push press and jerk exercises embraces a stretch shortening cycle (SSC) component to the exercise performance as well.
The scapula of the shoulder is not anatomically situated in the coronal (frontal) plane of the body. The concave ventral surface of the scapula lies upon a convex posterior thoracic wall creating a scapula position (angle) anterior to the coronal plane. The plane of the scapula is defined (depending upon the reference) as a shoulder (upper arm) position of approximately 30 to 45 degrees anterior to the coronal plane of the body (Figure 1a).
Overhead exercises are recommended to be performed in the plane of the scapula as this shoulder position allows for, but is not limited to the following:
The starting overhead exercise position performed in the plane of the scapula is displayed in Figure 1b.
During active arm elevation there is a distinct relationship between the glenohumeral and scapulothoracic joints of the shoulder. This relationship or “scapulohumeral rhythm” is also described as a ratio of corresponding motion between these two joints. As the athlete lifts weight overhead the humerous elevates and rotates as the scapula elevates, rotates, tilts, and protracts. The complexity of all coordinated shoulder girdle movement is beyond the scope of this discussion, therefore the elevation of the arm will be described as follows. The initial 30 degrees of unweighted arm elevation is described as the “setting phase”. As arm elevation continues from 30 to 90 degrees, a 2:1 ratio of humeral elevation to scapula rotation occurs and concludes with a 1:1 ratio from 90 to 180 degrees of overhead motion. The total 180 degrees of arm elevation is a result of 120 degrees of humeral elevation and 60 degrees of scapula rotation.
It should be noted that during dynamic arm (humeral) elevation the scapulohumeral rhythm alters, especially when lifting heavy loads. The scapulohumeral rhythm now changes from a 2:1 ratio to approximately a 4.5:1 ratio. This alteration in rhythm is reasonable as the scapula is the platform of stability for efficient humeral mobility and lifting heavier loads will require a more stable platform.
Overhead Shoulder Range of Motion
Overhead exercise performance also requires the athlete to conclude in a properly extended arm position. This position places both arms extended straight and in line with each ear. The athlete must possess the soft tissue and joint mobility necessary to assume this concluding overhead arm position. When lifting weights overhead the barbell will travel through an arc of motion and should conclude in this fully extended arm position (Figures 2a and 2b).
If an athlete lacks the soft tissue and joint mobility to assume this overhead arm position, they likely will conclude with an extended arm position anterior to the midline of the body. This anterior arm position places increased and unnecessary stress to the shoulder complex, enhancing the risk of shoulder pathology, especially when exercising with heavy weight intensities.
It has been mentioned that a stable scapula is important for the most favorable overhead exercise performance. The stability of one joint(s) is necessary for the effective mobility of the associated joint(s). However, a stable joint is not “cemented” in position so to speak. Although the associated motion between the scapula and humerous adjusts when lifting a heavy load overhead, the stable scapula must also be somewhat mobile as well.
There are many sources that acknowledge how compressive forces will enhance joint stability. This is one concept for the favorable use of closed kinetic chain exercise performance. The question remains is it ever possible to have too much joint stability, thus limiting the necessary joint movement that occurs during overhead exercise performance. When performing overhead pressing from a seated position, often times a bench with a backing will be utilized to assist to stabilize the torso during exercise performance. If the bench backing results in increased compressive forces to the scapula via a “pinning” of the scapula between the thorax and system of weight (barbell weight intensity + body weight) upon the bench backing (Figure 3), will the scapula have additional limitations in motion for effective overhead exercise performance? In other words will the scapulohumeral rhythm ratios be further compromised? This is a concern that we have during overhead exercise performance, and is another reason why our athlete’s perform overhead exercises in the standing position. If there were ever circumstances to perform these exercises seated, we would avoid utilizing a bench with a backing.
There are also occasions when coaches and athletes will inquire about the behind the neck press exercise. We are not advocates of the behind the neck press in our training facility with one exception. The behind the neck press exercise performance is initiated with the barbell positioned behind the neck and resting upon the posterior/superior aspect of the shoulders. When gripping the barbell in this position the scapula are required to retract as the humerous is now abducted to approximately 90 degrees in the coronal plane of the body and externally rotated (Figure 4).
The behind the neck press shoulder exercise performance position:
The exception for the utilization of behind the neck type exercises occurs when working with athletes who compete in Olympic Style Weightlifting. These athletes often assume a barbell position above and posterior to their head during the performance of the snatch exercise. To improve their snatch weightlifting performance, exercises such as behind the neck type presses and jerks, snatch balance, etc. are included in the program design. Behind the neck type exercises are both specific and necessary for Olympic Weightlifting success.
I am often asked “Will an athlete injure their shoulder with overhead lifting” from the coaches and athletes with whom we work. This is especially true of athletes whom are throwers i.e. pitchers. When asked where they acquired this information their response is usually “That’s the word on the street” or “I read it on the internet”. Let’s discuss this “on the street topic”.
We’ve all heard and/or read that overhead lifting will result in some type of rotator cuff pathology or trauma due to the “dreaded” type III acromion, but I have never been witness to any scientific evidence substantiating this definitely will occur. According to Dr. Louis Bigliani’s acromion classification, a type I acromion is flat, a type II is curved, and a type III is hooked (Figure 5). In a study reviewing 394 cadaveric scapula’s the relative percentage of acromial types I, II, and III were 22%, 68.5%, and 8.6% respectively. There were a greater percentage of type III acromions in men (10.2%) vs. women (6.9%). Acromial morphology was symmetric in 71% pairs of acromions and asymmetric in 29% of the pairs.
Type III acromion’s fall in the minority of the population and although a type III acromion concern may be valid at times, it is usually overstated, especially in the presence of a strong rotator cuff muscle group which will sufficiently stabilize the head of the humerous in the center of the glenoid during overhead exercise performance.
EMG studies have demonstrated that exercises such as the military press have a significant contribution by the rotator cuff muscle group, especially the supraspinatus muscle, as well as the deltoids and scapula musculature. With such high EMG activity demonstrated by the supraspinatus during overhead exercise performance, wouldn’t it make sense to utilize exercises that enhance the strength of this muscle, as the supraspinatus is the most frequently affected with regard to rotator cuff type pathology when compared to the other rotator cuff muscles of the shoulder.
At many high schools and colleges the football quarterback is also a starting pitcher on the baseball team during the spring season. During the spring and summer football off-season training, many programs require quarterbacks to perform the overhead lifts. However, it appears to be “taboo” for these same athletes to perform these same overhead exercises at the time they trade in their football helmet for a baseball cap when participating in a baseball off-season training program. Off-season training programs assist not only to prepare the athlete for athletic competition, but to also prepare the shoulder of the throwing athlete whether they are a quarterback or a pitcher. If quarterbacks are permitted to lift weights overhead and pitchers are not, we are to assume that shoulder injuries will occur during off-season overhead weight room training based on the time of year that they train? Should the athlete be he permitted to train overhead during the spring and summer months but not during the fall or winter off-seasons? At our Athletic Performance Training Center we train a number of professional baseball players each off-season, including baseball players with $100+ Million dollar contracts, and they ALL lift weights overhead without complaint or incidence of injury.
Certainly not every exercise may be appropriate for each individual (hence the reason for the athlete to be evaluated), but isn’t the selection of the specific exercises to be performed by the athlete as well as the training program design the responsibility of the Strength and Conditioning (S&C) Coach?
In my experiences of rehabilitating the throwing athlete or any shoulder athlete, unless a direct trauma is involved it is usually excessive exercise or throwing volume that usually leads to shoulder pathology. Excessive exercise volume will result in muscle fatigue and the inability of the rotator cuff to resist the superiorly (upward) directed vector forces of the deltoid, as well as a repositioning of the scapula upon the thorax. Therefore, not only will excessive fatigue negatively affect exercise performance technique, but with the onset of fatigue the head of the humerous has been shown to migrate superiorly from its position at the center of the glenoid as the scapula will also protract and both anteriorly tilt and internally rotate. This combination of events results in a decreased subacromial space with a consequential increased risk of potential rotator cuff injury. So in most instances where the overhead exercise is blamed for a shoulder injury, one may ask is it the specific overhead exercise or the poor programing that results in excessive shoulder fatigue that is the real culprit for overhead exercise performance injury.
A coach or an athlete may become apprehensive when prescribed an overhead exercise, but why does the bench press exercise get a free pass? I personally am not anti-bench press as our athletes do perform this exercise, but not in high volume. In a review of the literature one will find no incidence, ZERO, of anyone tearing their pectorals muscle(s) while performing overhead pressing type exercises, while there certainly are a significant number of studies documenting pectoral tears that have occurred while bench pressing. We treat a number of athletes each year in our physical therapy clinics who tear their pec(s) while bench pressing.
There is also a shoulder condition called “Distal Clavicular Osteolysis” or “Weightlifter’s Shoulder” that may occur with excessive bench pressing. This condition is an overuse (poor programing) phenomenon that causes tiny fractures along the distal end of the clavicle in conjunction with a breakdown and resorption of bone (osteolysis) that occurs at the site of injury. Clearly other shoulder pathologies, including rotator cuff pathology, also occur with bench press exercise performance, and so is there really a justification to have more concern with overhead weight training type exercises?
When speaking to coaches and athletes regarding overhead weight room exercises it appears the main concern is usually due to the potential injury of the rotator cuff via an impingement mechanism as the overhead exercise performance requires the arms to be fully extended overhead. However, like the bench press, there appears to be no concern with the athlete performing pull-up activities. Doesn’t the pull-up exercise also require the arms not only to be fully extended overhead, but the glenohumeral joint is also placed under superiorly directed joint distraction forces.
The point here is that any exercise, if not appropriately selected, applied, and programed may result in a possible shoulder joint pathology. Overhead shoulder exercise appears to be the focus of scrutiny when compared to other exercises that stress the shoulder girdle as well. With proper exercise application and programing is that really a valid concern?
The S&C coach should perform an appropriate assessment of the athlete prior to the initiation of overhead exercise or any exercise performance. The athlete’s posture, shoulder range of motion, scapulohumeral rhythm, and rotator cuff and scapula muscle strength are a few considerations for this assessment.
The overhead exercise performance should occur in the plane of the scapula and conclude with the arms fully extended directly overhead in line with both ears
Proper program design is essential to avoid excessive muscle fatigue when training over time as weight heavy weight intensity will also have an effect upon scapulohumeral rhythm.
When appropriately prescribed and applied, overhead exercise performance should be no more dangerous that other weight intensity exercises that stress the shoulder.

Today is a good day – well for apps to get loaded in Marketplace…not for my wallet. New York Subway hit and it’s a subway guide with Bing that gives you the best route, nearest subway and a trip planner for NYC. It’s already available on the iPhone so you can expect it to be comparable. The Hundred Pushup app is a WP7 version of the Hundred Pushup website that guides you to be able to do 100 pushups. And finally there’s the game Decimation X2 which is the #1 Xbox Live Indie Game in Japan. It’s a crazy arcade alien invasion game that’s retro in style but with pixels flying everywhere ein the best of ways. Each of these is just $.99.

If you've ever invested time in a level editor, there's a good chance you've started looking around your environment and considered how you might re-create it in a game. If you've ever invested time in a piece of zombie fiction, there's a good chance you've started looking around your environment and considered how you might survive an attack by the walking dead. The Project Zomboid Map Editor lets you explore both fascinations by enabling you to create your own home, office, or other environment, and port it into the alpha-developed isometric zombie survival RPG.
There's currently no official documentation for the tools, and very little in the way of community guides. The Zomboid development team have offered to answer people's questions as best they can in the forum post though, and they do link to this video of someone building Alcatraz in the kit.
Zomboid has been in alpha development for yonks, since long before Early Access, and from the beginning of the trend of early releases. In that time the game has grown from a few houses with a couple of guns, to a vast and complex RPG, with an open world containing multiple towns, a lot of fields, and even more brainless brain-hungry undead. It's an extremely unforgiving game, and in singleplayer, even more lonely and grim than DayZ. It's worth playing in its current state.
The team also deserve a lot of credit for their approach to selling their game. When Zomboid eventually came to Early Access, the developers took great pains to make sure the community were aware of the current state of the game, partnering with streamers to display as much of it as possible to anyone who was interested in buying. In the current climate, that's honourable.
On the official blog, the post announcing the map editor also talks about future update plans, including the continued shift to a 3D model system (which will enable better performance and lighting) and the wonderfully phrased "zombie migration systems", which controls the ways the undead spread themselves over Zomboids worlds. Important, if you want to practice surviving your escape from your home or place of work.
Living in Bath's Georgian basin, I'm probably fine in the event of a zombie apocolypse. The newly undead would all be retired second-hand bookshop owners still more interested in searching out expensive pots and pans than human brains. Perhaps I should build the town just to find out though.

Pro Golfers often play hole to tee, not tee to hole… they start with the end in mind and work backward. They see where the hole is in the green, and visualize their hits one step back at a time to see the most efficient way to play the hole.
In developing a marketing piece, whether it be an ad, a landing page, or an email, we need to first think about what we want to happen when our prospects see that ad. Do we want them to give us an email, watch a video, or take action to make a sale. Then we need to create our words and images to bring out that desired response. Try 2 different versions and test to see which one brings the best results.
So many people start with an idea to create a business without first asking is there a real market for my business? They put hours and hours, sometimes months and years to create a product only to find that it wasn’t what their customers really wanted or needed.
So I say, ask yourself, “What are you doing now, that changing the way you ask questions at the beginning, can change your results? “

Bob Hope's daughter: 'It's been an amazing life'
(CNN) – One of Bob Hope's daughters said the legendary entertainer's death, in his home surrounded by his family, was "an amazing send-off" for the 100-year-old.
Linda Hope spoke to reporters Monday at the Academy of Television Arts and Sciences in North Hollywood, California.
HOPE: To have you all here is really wonderful. And I just wanted to express our appreciation. I speak on behalf of my family, for all of the outpouring of love and affection that not only the media have shown but, also, all of his many fans and friends. And it is, you know, so heartwarming to all of us at this stage.
And I just wanted to let you all know that dad had an amazing send-off. All of the family was together with him and he died very peacefully last night, just about 9:30. And I don't think you could have asked for a more peaceful, beautiful death. And I think all the good vibes that he put out during his lifetime came back to take him up.
And, you know, it's been an amazing life. And I think ... [his] 100th birthday ... really warmed his heart. I think that it was something that sustained him the last couple of months and brought him a lot of joy. And we thank you so much for that and for all of your interest in him.
We're planning a private burial service. My family asks [that] you would all respect our privacy for this because, after all, we've had him with us for a long time and it takes a little while to let him go.
There is going to be a memorial service that will be held the 27th of August. And we're going to get invitations out to that. And there will be a special tribute here at the television academy on the 27th, as well. ...
[Last night] was really quite a lovely evening. This priest friend of my mother's and dad's was there. And he said a Mass in dad's bedroom, and all of the family was there, and a doctor, a nurse, and some of the nurses that have looked after him over the years. And it was just -- I mean, you couldn't ask for a more beautiful, peaceful time.
And I think at 100, people are a little bit prepared and know that it's not going to be too much longer. So we've known that we weren't going to have him around for a long time.
I can't tell you how beautiful and serene and peaceful it was. And the fact that there was a little audience gathered around, even though it was family, I think warmed dad's heart. ...
I think the things that brought him most joy were laughter and applause. ... And golf was, I think, a satisfying and probably very frustrating thing. Those of you who are golfers, I'm sure, realize that that's the case when you're a golfer. But it was a passion of his all his life.
And certainly my mother was a great joy and a support and someone who's been by his side for 69 years. You know, this is why I'm really appealing to everybody to please let her have her time that she needs to deal with this, because you know, anybody that's been in your life for 69 years, almost 70, it's got to be a big hole in there. ...
One of his writers said to him at one point, 'Bob, you know, if you had your life to live over again, you wouldn't have time.' And he sort of took that on, and that was kind of his philosophy.
And then I think of a thing that my mother has been saying to him: 'You know, Bob, where do you want to be buried? What do you want?' And his response was, 'Surprise me.' So he will, I'm sure, [be] surprised. But hopefully happy.
He left us with a smile on his face and no last words. We all had our little time with him and time to say good-bye. And he just gave us each a kiss, and that was it. ...
Mother and dad back in the 1950s started the Bob and Dolores Hope Charitable Foundation. And so we ask, in lieu of flowers, if people would like to make a contribution, [that] they contribute to that, and then we, in turn, will get the funds out to different charities that dad was particularly interested in during his lifetime.

Catholic Mission is urging Australians to reach out to residents of Fiji following a category five cyclone that devastated the island at the weekend.
The call comes amid fears of a health crisis in the Pacific nation, after tropical cyclone Winston caused widespread destruction and left at least ten people dead.
Catholic Mission, with its partner Australian Marist Solidarity, is funding a shelter in the capital Suva for families affected by Cyclone Winston, reported to be one of the most powerful ever recorded in the southern hemisphere.
Father Brian Lucas, National Director of Catholic Mission, says while the storm has passed, the most dangerous time may be yet to come. “In crises such as these, the storm itself is only part of the problem,” he said. “It is the subsequent loss of power and infrastructure, as well as flooding and isolation, can lead to the significant spread of disease and famine.”
Catholic Mission is funding the Marist Champagnat Vocational Centre in Suva, which is being operated by Australian Marist Solidarity as a shelter for vulnerable people in the low-lying region of Nanuku.
“Fiji will need a great deal of support in coming days to rebuild the church infrastructure that is so important to its spiritual and faithful people,” said Fr Lucas. “However, at such a critical stage, the Church, through its agencies, is working to provide for the immediate needs of safety and security.”
Fr Lucas says Catholic Mission is liaising with the National Director of the Pontifical Mission Societies in Fiji, Sister Merieti Riiki, in an effort to assess the situation and provide support where it is most needed. “It is important at this difficult time that we work together, with agencies such as Caritas, in the best interests of our brothers and sisters in Fiji.”

TOKYO, July 31, 2012 — On August 8, Fuji Xerox Co., Ltd. will release Apeos PEMaster Evidence Tracker 2.3, software for visualizing the status of work progress based on work-generated and evidenced documents.
Combined with Apeos PEMaster Evidence Entry 2.3, which attaches names and attributes to proof and evidenced documents to effectively store them in a document database, as well as Apeos PEMaster Evidence Manager 2.3, which stores and manages documents appropriately, the new software realizes the visualization of work processes and document management with a work process perspective.
Normally, companies internally or externally exchange a range of documents and other types of evidences such as quotes, order sheets, delivery notes, inspection statements and invoices, and it is required to accurately manage such document-based operations and record of these evidences.
In order to record and manage documents as evidence, it is necessary to design a document management structure, and store documents at the correct level of folder hierarchy. Although the documents and evidences are digitized and shared, it is difficult for users to grasp the overall work progress and what kind of documents are being processed, forcing them to contact the personnel in charge.
To solve the issue, Fuji Xerox is providing a document management solution designed from the perspective of work processes.
Apeos PEMaster Evidence Tracker 2.3 allows users to intuitively check a pre-registered workflow, evidences required in each of the processes, registration status of such evidences, and outstanding, delayed or overlooked work processes.
Users can register evidences directly from the work process screen, and the registered documents are managed appropriately by Apeos PEMaster Evidence Manager 2.3. Also with Apeos PEMaster Evidence Entry 2.3, documents exchanged as hardcopy or by FAX can be registered directly from multifunction devices to the applicable work process.

An Embroidery Mystery #7
by Amanda Lee
June 3, 2014
Available in: Paperback
Embroidery shop owner Marcy Singer is about to have the rug pulled out from under her....
Marcy can’t wait to see the new exhibit at the Tallulah Falls museum on antique tapestries and textiles, including beautiful kilim rugs. But her enthusiasm quickly turns to terror when, the day after the exhibition opens, she discovers a dead body behind her store, the Seven-Year Stitch, wrapped up in a most unusual fashion.
The victim appears to be a visiting art professor in town for the exhibit. Did someone decide to teach the professor a lesson, then attempt to sweep the evidence under the rug? Along with her boyfriend, Detective Ted Nash, Marcy must unravel an intricate tapestry of deception to find a desperate killer.
Amanda Lee is a pseudonym Gayle Trent is using for the new cozy mystery series featuring a heroine who owns an embroidery shop. The series is set on the Oregon Coast and features Marcy Singer, a spunky, thirty-something, entrepreneur who is handy with a needle.
Amanda/Gayle lives in Southwest Virginia with her husband and two beautiful children, a boy and a girl. She’s a full-time writer/editor/mom/wife and chief cook and bottle washer, and she loves every minute of it. Okay, not the bottle washing so much, but the rest of it is great.

Pro wrestling fans are going to be in for a treat tonight. Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson recently went to Instagram to reveal photos from the upcoming episode of Young Rock. The episode will focus on a battle royal with some of the legends in pro wrestling.
"YOUNG ROCK fans the wait is over - the BIGGEST BATTLE ROYAL IN HAWAII HISTORY!!!" Johnson wrote. He went on to mention the pro wrestlers that are featured including Andre the Giant, The Wild Samoans, "Macho Man" Randy Savage, Sgt. Slaughter, Ricky "The Dragon" Steamboat, The Iron Sheik and Johnson's father Rocky Johnson." Young Rock has received strong reviews since premiering in February, earning a 88% score on Rotten Tomatoes. PopCulture.com recently talk to three stars of the show - Uli Latukefu, Bradley Constant and Adrian Groulx, and the trio revealed what Johnson shared with them before they began production.
View this post on Instagram
"I think for me — he said a lot, he was super encouraging, very encouraging, gave us insight into how he was at different stages of his life," Latukefu said in our series PopCulture @Home. "But for me, it was really just his vote of confidence to tell his story, which meant a lot to me just being able to go, 'We chose you.'"
"He sent me a personal video and he was so nice. He was saying how great I did; he was saying that I did such a good job and that he was so glad to have me playing little Dwayne," Groulx said. "That just warmed my heart. I was in tears. I was just starstruck because of all this, again happening so early on in my career, so I was very honored."
Young Rock tells the story of Johnson's life in three different stages - 10 years old, 15 years old and 18 to 20 years old. When speaking with USA Today, Johnson said everything seen on the show happened in his life. "The fun thing about 'Young Rock' is everything that people see in this first episode and throughout the season, everything happened," Johnson said. "Now, what we do is, maybe it happened in a different year, maybe it happened in a different city." Young Rock airs on Tuesday nights at 8 p.m. ET on NBC.

The Bosniak member of Bosnia and Herzegovina's tripartite presidency, Bakir Izetbegovic, announced last Friday that an appeal would be lodged against the International Court of Justice's 2007 verdict that cleared Serbia of complicity in genocide during the 1992-95 Bosnian War.
The leader of the Republika Srpska, Milorad Dodik, told reporters after a high-level meeting with the Serbian president and prime minister in Belgrade that the Bosnians were not satisfied with the decision, and "they are ready to consider Bosnia as their own.
"With this decision, the Bosniaks want to abolish the Republika Srpska. It is not possible to equate Bosnia and Herzegovina with Izetbegovic or Bosniaks," he said.
Serbian Prime Minister Aleksandar Vucic said the decision set bilateral relations "22 years back.
"Bosnia and Herzegovina prefers to live in the past. Serbia disagrees," he said, adding that Serbia supported regional peace and stability.
Serbian President Tomislav Nikolic said Serbia would always stand by the Serbs in Bosnia and Herzegovina.
"Serbia will support every step taken by the Republika Srpska that is in line with the Constitution and laws."
Nikolic also voiced concern about the future of relations between Serbs and Bosniaks, saying they are "unlikely" to be further developed.
"It is uncertain how the relations of Bosnia Herzegovina and Serbia will develop," he added.
The president of the Mothers of Srebrenica group, Munira Subasic told Anadolu Agency earlier Wednesday it wanted justice for the relatives lost during the Bosnian War.
"As the relatives of the victims of genocide, we have a right to reopen the case. Serbia must take responsibility whether they want it or not. Serbia provided all the support for genocide. Without their help, the Bosnian Serbs could have done nothing," she said.
The lawsuit has its origins in the July 1995 Srebrenica genocide that occurred when Bosnian Serb forces killed 8,000 Bosnian Muslim men and boys after overrunning a UN-protected safe area during the Bosnian War.
In February 2007, the International Court of Justice in The Hague rejected the genocide case taken by Bosnia against the state of Serbia. Although it described Srebrenica as a case of genocide, it did not find Serbia guilty of being directly responsible for the killings. The statute of limitation to reopen the case will expire at the end of February.

- Best iPhone, iPad Business Apps for 2014
- 14 Tech Conventions You Should Attend in 2014
- 10 Desktop Apps to Power Your Windows PC
- How to Add New Job Skills Without Going Back to School
CIO - That's why finding the right candidate is so important. As a hiring manager, you need to do everything you can to minimize the risk throughout the hiring process. Here are 12 common mistakes IT managers make, along with advice on how to take a more successful approach.
1. Not being well-prepared for the interview.Let's face it: Most managers are busy people, which can lead to a common IT hiring mistake. According to Ron Lichty, co-author of "Managing the Unmanageable," most hiring managers don't adequately prepare for interviews.
"The typical hiring manager reads the resume on the way to meet the candidate. That's not preparation," says Lichty. A job interview can be a subjective situation from both perspectives. As a hiring manager, you need to be sure you are weighing all your candidates against the same criteria. If you've done a good job with your description, you should be able to use that to help measure one resume or candidate against another.
Another important mantra for IT hiring managers, according to Licthy: Always be hiring. "To be effective at always recruiting means being out in the technical community meeting potential hires, staying connected with your network and building relationships," says Lichty.
2. Not performing a phone interview. Not screening candidates is another mistake that managers make early in the hiring process. In a previous CIO.com article on identifying superstar developers, director of recruiting at Lextech Chad Lily discussed the importance of using this time to weed out candidates who wouldn't make it through the interviewing process. Many times a 20-minute call can save you hours of interviewing and ensure the people who actually make it to the interview are qualified.
3. Having an interview instead of a discussion."The interviewer should focus on asking experience-based questions. Managers should dig deeper than the typical "what are your strengths and weaknesses'," says Paul Silvio, senior vice president of Modis, an IT staffing firm.
Modis, for example, has a format where instead of interviewees just saying they worked on a certain project, prospective employees must explain their individual participation and what they were able to make, save or achieve for the company.
4. Not getting programmer candidates to demonstrate their coding prowess. "It's essential to ask questions that elicit a picture of their understanding of programming. It's critical that you ask them to do some design and to write some code," says Lichty. This will give you insight into how the prospect will react and problem-solve in the world of IT.
5. Not having career paths for employees. While this might not seem relevant to this article, it is. " Career Mapping is probably the most important management tool we use internally. Figuring out where someone wants to go and will be successful is one of the most important frameworks we use for promotion trajectory and managing folks over time," says Michael Rosenbaum, CEO of Catalyst IT Services. The reason: To get the best talent you have to have something to offer. If you can demonstrate a clear path for advancement, it will make it that much easier to attract and retain talent.

Garry Rayno's State House Dome: Mental health help fixes are coming slowlyBy GARRY RAYNO
January 09. 2016 7:55PM
ABOUT 18 MONTHS AGO the state reached agreement on a plan to improve its mental health system, which had fallen from its one-time perch as a model for the nation.
The state said it would boost community-based services so those with mental illness would be less likely to go to hospital emergency rooms, or stay for an extended period in institutional care at New Hampshire Hospital or Glencliff Home.
The estimated cost to upgrade the mental health system to reach the benchmarks was about $30 million spread over a couple of state budget cycles.
Last week the expert reviewer overseeing progress on the settlement issued his third report, showing mixed results with some positive areas but also some areas where the state was slow or failed to meet benchmarks.
“We continue to be pleased to see continued development of what we know to be effective services for people with mental illness,” said Amy Messer, executive director of the Disability Rights Center for New Hampshire, which filed the suit that led to the agreement, “but we have a long way to go and a lot more work to be done before (people have access to the services they need.)”
One area Messer praised was the development of what are called Assertive Community Treatment teams in 11 regions of the state. The teams include psychiatric specialists, nurses, social workers, job counselors and others who are available 24 hours a day, seven days a week to respond to people in crisis.
If someone has a crisis at night they can call their ACT team and meet with them in his or her community and be helped through the crisis.
Messer said there are teams in every region, and while some are robust, others need more personnel to meet the model.
If an ACT team is not in place or available, there are mobile crisis units that can be called in to help.
The state hired Riverbend Community Mental Health to provide mobile crisis services, including housing in the Concord area, and is about to issue a request for proposals for the same services in the Manchester area with the understanding the services will be available by summer.
“This is a proven method to help stabilize people and begin to engage their recovery efforts,” Messer said. “If you can keep people out of New Hampshire Hospital, and also emergency rooms, they are far less likely to end up in an institution.”
Another high point is support housing, a continuing problem for those with mental illness. In the expert's report, the state is ahead of schedule in securing housing units.
“That's a really positive development,” Messer said. “This is a very important program that makes a difference for a lot of people. Having a roof over their head allows them to participate in recovery services.”
That's the good news for the state.
One of the keys to the settlement is transitioning people from the Glencliff Home and New Hampshire Hospital to their communities.
The expert reviewer notes that the state has done little to move the four residents out of Glencliff Home as was called for in the agreement.
“The DHHS (Department of Health and Human Services) needs to take aggressive executive action to increase the speed and effectiveness of transitions from the New Hampshire Hospital and Glencliff,” the expert wrote.
He said he would focus on that area for the next report in six months.
The expert, whose name was not attached to the report, was also critical of the state's speed in forming ACT teams in some areas of the state.
“We look forward to continue to work with the state,” Messer said. “We recognize there is still a long way to go. We view this not as an agreement to do a little bit more of the same, but for system transformation and change.”
People opposed to the Supreme Court's decision in the Citizens United case allowing unlimited corporate, union or private money into political campaigns believed they had a victory Thursday only to have it snatched away after key House technology failed.
The failure was the voting system, so instead of a two- or three-minute process, a roll call vote had to be done the old-fashioned way, calling out the names down the rooster so each representative could cast his or her vote.
Senate Bill 136 passed the Senate late last year after much discussion and revisions, but the House retained the bill to work on it this summer and fall.
The Legislative Administration Committee recommended more study for a bill that establishes a committee to monitor proposed constitutional amendments in Congress dealing with the issue.
Opponents of the ruling know interim study in the second year of the two-year term is nothing more than a polite way to kill a bill and they worked to overturn the committee's recommendation, which they did successfully by two votes.
Those seeking to kill the bill tried to table it, but that lost by four votes, and then House Minority Leader Stephen Shurtleff, D-Concord, moved to pass the bill, which lawmakers did by four votes.
When he asked the House to reconsider the vote and vote it down so approval would stand and the bill would go to Hassan without any shenanigans, the electronic voting machine broke.
The 45 minutes it takes to do a roll call vote was a little too much for some House members that late in the day and they left.
When the roll call on reconsideration was tabulated, it passed instead of failed, and opponents moved to kill the bill and that passed.
Some members said afterwards there was some strong-arming by leadership to kill the bill, but that happens all the time.
If the electronic system had worked when Shurtleff called for reconsideration, the bill would be on its way to the governor's desk and not a victim of technology. The voting system was replaced three years ago because the old system was unreliable.
Right to Know
Any reporter will tell you obtaining public documents under the Right-to-Know law can be either easy or difficult depending on the community or agency or person being dealt with.
It is no secret it has become more difficult to obtain large amounts of information and expensive if charged by the page and for research.
This week may bring some good news for those seeking electronic records.
Under House Bill 606 no fee can be charged for electronic record transfers if printed copies are not involved.
The Senate will vote on the bill Thursday, but it will have to go back to the House because the Senate version is different from the House's.
The Senate Executive Departments and Administration Committee voted 4-0 to recommend the bill pass.
The three bills the drug task force voted to fast track to the governor's desk this month have a public hearing Tuesday before House and Senate committees.
The public hearings begin at 9 a.m. and the committees are expected to make their recommendations on the bill by the end of the week with a vote before the end of the month.

Just like any information product, creating an online course at Udemy allows you to do the work once and get paid over and over again, sometimes for years. “But ebooks and video products and so forth already do that – why an online course?”
Would you believe, because it looks cool? When you’re selling your course through your own website, you look just like everybody else pushing an info-product. But when you do it through a teaching platform like Udemy, you automatically get credibility and prestige points.
Plus Udemy will get you customers you never would have found in any other manner. True, they get a cut, but so would affiliates.
Another reason why you might want to create an Udemy style ecourse is this: By having an online course (or 2 or 20) you are automatically an expert in your niche. Imagine trying to sell a brick and mortar business a marketing package when they don’t know who you are. Now imagine selling that same package after you’ve shown them that you are a Udemy Instructor. See the difference?
Sure, you and I know that putting together a Udemy course isn’t rocket science, but to your prospect you are suddenly THE MAN or THE WOMAN who can ride in on that big shiny horse, save the day and fix their problems. Okay, maybe not, but their trust level in you and your expertise just increased by a couple of hundred points, easy.
Here’s yet another reason for creating a Udemy course: You can charge more than you can for a random ebook or video course. Which would you rather do – sell 10 THOUSAND copies of a $10 product, or 508 copies of a $197 product? It takes essentially the same work, yet on the higher priced product you need far fewer sales to reach that six figure number. In fact, just 1.39 sales per day for a year will yield you $100,000.
One last reason to consider creating a Udemy course: Your course makes for a terrific back end product. Let’s say you do sell a $10 product, or you guest blog, or you get interviewed, etc. Where do you send people? Yes, you can send them to a squeeze page to capture their email address, but where do you take them after that? Imagine if, on the ‘thank you for subscribing’ page, you invited them to take a peek at your Udemy course. You could also provide them with an expiring coupon. Even if just a few percent of them buy, you are now making significant money you otherwise would have left on the table.
This can be a self-liquidating method to build your list. Pay for advertising, make money on your Udemy course, and you can continually and almost effortlessly build your list – forever.
If you’re an expert on a topic and you haven’t thought about creating a Udemy course before, you might want to consider it.

Good morning and KUT CHIBAI! Thank you for giving me this opportunity and the honour of being invited as the ‘Functional President’ today – the first of its kind for me here in Hyderabad!
My co-special guests have both already spoken at length about our traditional KUT celebrations. I will, therefore, focus more on the freshers who have recently joined us (given that ours has always been a Freshers’ Meet cum KUT Celebration) and take this opportunity to briefly share my own personal experience and perspective on ‘success’.
I do hope, however, that the deliberation that follows is relevant and perhaps maybe even equally helpful for the rest of us – the old-timers – who have also been working very hard to create our own success stories here in Hyderabad!
A few years back, in one of my interactions with the young students back home, I challenged them to a task of collectively developing a “Success Formula” – i.e. identify its key ingredients, apply the formula to create our own personal success stories and refine it through personal experimentation and fine tuning.
As expected, the initial ingredients included the typical success secrets like goal setting, perseverance, hard work, discipline, etc. Over the subsequent years, I have also read several books and articles on ‘success’ as well as biographies of many successful people whom I truly admire.
What I have come to realize from the exploration to try and understand what makes successful people successful and also from my own humble experiences is that – success is personal! Although the general key secrets to success as outlined in the ‘Success Formula’ do play a role in all cases and for all people, the definition of success itself (which can vary widely) and particularly the key driving force behind one’s success (if you were to try and narrow it down) tends to be unique for different people and their distinctive success stories.
Hence, what follows is the result of a reflection of my own humble experiences with success as well as failures (whether big or small) and an attempt to identify the one key factor which has played the most critical and significant role for me – if I were to pick one!
The No.1 Key….
After my engineering, I was one of few students recruited from the various IITs to join NTPC. The organisation plan at that time apparently was to train and groom us into possible key future managers in the various departments of the organisation. Hence, after a special one-year training programme, the much coveted head office posting in NCR was accorded to all us.
The head-office posting was a matter of great pride at that time – particularly after seeing the amount of effort and lobbying my other co-new recruits had to undertake to secure a posting in the corporate offices.
However, by the time I was leaving the organisation (about two years later), I realized that the initial head office posting would have resulted in a major handicap for me if I were to pursue a long-term career in the company / industry.
I missed out on the best opportunity to start off the initial years of my career towards building a keen understanding of the industry’s basic fundamentals. A posting in one of the site offices (although highly challenging and demanding given the remote locations) would have enabled me to get a first-hand experience and understanding of the intricacies involved in setting-up and/or operating a power plant – the core business of the company.
Even during the my B-School interviews, I realized that such an exposure would have enabled me to speak with greater authority about the industry and my own company’s operations.
Hence, when I joined my current organisation to pursue a new career in another industry, I decided not to repeat the same mistake! I resolved to focus on first grasping the key basic fundamental knowledge and skills-sets which I believed would be critical for a long term growth in the organisation and industry.
Although I was initially recruited for a role in Business Development (which was apparently a better profile), after several persuasions and promptings, I got myself shifted to the role of a Financial Analyst – as I soon realized that’s where I need to start!
I spent the initial few years learning everything I could about financial modelling / analysis as well as gaining a broader perspective of the intricacies involved in financially evaluating prospective investments – which is the core of any investment firm’s business. I spent those years trying to gain mastery of those basic fundamentals and skills – investing in myself first (reading books – actually lots of them, attending courses, seminars, workshops, etc)!
I recently came across a saying “People who have mastered a skill or area of expertise usually stand out in the crowd”. When I look back today, that’s precisely what has happened for me as well. The initial few years I spent gaining MASTERY of the hardcore financial aspects of the business soon enabled me to stand out both within the organisation as well as outside (amongst our business partners / associates).
It enabled me, initially and at a fairly early stage, to start playing a role in the decision making process of the organisation. Very soon, it resulted in increasingly bigger decision making roles and a higher career growth path – with bigger roles and assignments!
Several subsequent events and other factors were also definitely at play. However, the main reason which enabled me to achieve such growth within my organisation and finally landed me the responsibility of being the CEO, I believe, is the initial MASTERY of the basic knowledge / skill sets which enabled me to get noticed and kick-started the chain of events leading up to my final appointment as the CEO.
Some of you might still remember the discussion we had on Financial Intelligence during our recent Youth Day Celebrations. We pondered on how 60-70% of the world’s total wealth is owned by the wealthy 1% while the poor 50% people own only 1% of the total world’s wealth.
Even more surprising is the social scientists’ prediction that even if the total world’s wealth were to be equally redistributed today, we would revert back to the above highly skewed unequal distribution of wealth, just within a few years.
One logical explanation for the same is this – the wealthy 1% have mastered certain high-income skills – be it artistic, sports, business or investments which cannot be taken away from them even if they were to lose all their wealth.
That same mastery of a specific skill(s) which enabled them to build their wealth the first time will help them rebuild their wealth – while the rest will continue to work (for them) to help them do so again!
Even if Bill Gates or Warren Buffet were to give away their entire wealth today, their business or investment acumen, which they have mastered and are a class apart, will not take them too much time to rebuild it all over again!
That I believe is also the real financial freedom! Knowing and being confident that the you have mastered certain skill-sets which will enable you to generate your desired level of income / wealth, anytime and anywhere – even if you were to lose your job, your business or your entire accumulated wealth!
We are all here in Hyderabad today to script our own success stories. If you ask me the one key secret which can give anyone an edge for success in any field / profession – it is MASTERY! It doesn’t come easy, but anyone with a strong resolute desire can acquire it!
And if we do manage to reach that requisite level of mastery in our chosen field, nothing (literally) can stop us from being successful or reaching the goals we have set out to achieve!
Thank you all once again!

California Gov. Jerry Brown vetoed a bill that would have given a tax break to all licensed marijuana businesses, dealing a setback to MJ companies hoping to reduce their state tax bills.
The measure – Assembly Bill 1863, approved by the Legislature earlier this summer – would have allowed licensed cannabis companies to take tax deductions under the state Personal Income Tax Law. If Brown had signed the measure into law, it would have gone into effect for the 2018 tax year.
“Given the cost to the General Fund, this proposal is best evaluated as part of the budget process,” the governor wrote in his veto message Wednesday.
The veto is likely to be met with dismay by California marijuana businesses, which already are struggling to make ends meet given the cost of complying with new state regulations and high local taxes. They also face a federal tax burden under 280E that typically results in MJ companies paying a federal tax rate of 70%-90%.

For Faculty & Staff
Clarkson University Professor to Discuss Technology's Role in Caregiving
Clarkson University Professor Charles Robinson knows from experience that technology can ease struggles for sufferers of neuromuscular disorders and their caregivers.
Robinson will present “Caring for the Caregiver Through the Appropriate Use of Technology” at 6:30 p.m. on Thursday, January 24, at the Massena Public Library, 41 Glenn Street, in Massena, N.Y.
The informational session will explore different forms of technology that can help maintain abilities for those who will gradually become paralyzed by a degenerative neuromuscular disease.
Robinson, the Herman L. Schulman Endowed chair in Rehabilitation Engineering and the founding director of Clarkson’s Center for Rehabilitation Engineering, Science and Technology, lost his wife to Lou Gehrig’s Disease after a two and a half year struggle. He will share how technology helped compensate for her declining functional movements over the course of the disease.
The talk is geared to those with progressive disabilities and neuromuscular diseases like ALS and Muscular Dystrophy, their caregivers and therapists, nurses, hospice personnel, social and church groups and local ALS and MDA chapters. The presentation will help caregivers decide what technology is appropriate and how to acquire it.
ALS of Upstate New York Chapter Executive Director Kathy Lahey and Care Services Coordinator Kate Cavan will provide information designed to help North Country patients, caretakers and families.
Robinson is a rehabilitation engineering specialist and neuroscientist, who is retired from the VA Medical Center in Syracuse where he was a senior rehabilitation research career scientist.
Clarkson University launches leaders into the global economy. One in five alumni already leads as a CEO, VP or equivalent senior executive of a company. Located just outside the Adirondack Park in Potsdam, N.Y., Clarkson is a nationally recognized research university for undergraduates with select graduate programs in signature areas of academic excellence directed toward the world's pressing issues. Through 50 rigorous programs of study in engineering, business, arts, sciences and health sciences, the entire learning-living community spans boundaries across disciplines, nations and cultures to build powers of observation, challenge the status quo, and connect discovery and engineering innovation with enterprise.

Does your desk stand the test?
In the clinic we see a lot of neck and shoulder pain and this can cause chronic headaches relating to sitting at a desk for extended periods. Every day we get asked whether a stand up desk might help. The answer is yes, but there are a few other things to consider first.
Make sure you get up every 45 minutes for a stretch, to grab a drink, or take a tea break.
The problem is often caused by a poor desk set up. That might be a dodgy chair or using a Laptops as a desktop computer without a separate keyboard and mouse or elevating the screen to eye height. Try to fix your current set up before going to the stand up desk.
If your chair is a concern, look at getting a swivel one with a Lumbar support adjustable back and seat rest which should be at a slight decline with your feet touching the ground.
Your screen should be at eye level with no more than 20° of tilt and no more than 100cm from your eyes. Your keyboard and mouse should be separate to the computer and sit square with your main screen allowing your elbows to be at 90°.
A basic desk should fit your chair and knees under comfortably and be big enough to have two screens but not so big that you have to stretch to reach your printer or phone.
If you still need a stand up desk, this is what else you need to think about:
- If you have ongoing foot and lower back issues that are aggravated by standing, the desk may be under utilised.
- The desk needs to quickly and easily go from sitting to standing, as it will make you more likely to use it and won’t cause more injuries.
- Price $$$ – preferably a press button desk rather than clumsy winding system is recommended, but this does push the price up.
- The shoes you wear! If you’re not going to wear sensible shoes, don’t bother standing. (Hint: keep a second pair stashed under the desk for those important meetings.)
- Consider the height of the desk and whether it goes high enough.
Here are two reasonably cheap desks from Officeworks:

A fresh dispatch from the imperial satrapy of Bactria brings word that the Pentagon has ended the eyeblink-brief "suspension" of one of its super-duper missile systems following the "unfortunate" slaughter of 12 civilians, including five children, in the opening hours of the all-out media blitz -- sorry, the "largest military operation of the Afghan war" -- now being inflicted on the city of Marja.
As you'll recall, after this initial child sacrifice to waft the pleasing smell of innocent blood to great Ares, that he might smile upon the bold Achaeans in their martial endeavor, mighty Agamemnon himself -- now robed in the flesh of General Stanley "Black Ops" McChrystal -- stepped forth before the cameras, and with great show of crocodilian regret, declared that the "errant" missile system would be withdrawn from battle forthwith, until such time as it could be determined why it killed all those civilians and, worst of all, gummed up the glowing press which the Pentagon had painstakingly cultivated during the run-up to the attack.
But as the ever-astute Jason Ditz at Antiwar.com notes, the Pentagon concluded its in-depth investigation of the incident in a matter of hours. What's more, the brass found that not only was there no error whatsoever in the hi-tech death-hurling technology, but also that the whole incident was actually the result of the heroic efforts of a clean-limbed young Leatherneck to save the cowering civilians in his tender care.
Yes, that's right. The Pentagon's story now is that it killed 12 civilians in order to save civilians. As Reuters reports:
"We know now that the missile arrived at the target it was supposed to arrive at. It wasn't a rogue missile. There was no technical fault in it," [Major General Nick Carter, the British commander of NATO forces in southern Afghanistan] told reporters ... A young U.S. Marine Corps officer in charge in the area where the rockets were fired was protecting a number of civilians behind his positions, Carter said.
And so he called in the missile strike on the house, because, as another occupation spokesman put it: "It is not unusual for the insurgents to operate in compounds where there are civilians sheltering."
So you kill civilians in order to protect civilians. And every civilian is a potential enemy who might harm civilians -- so you kill them. (Three more civilians in Marja were shot down just yesterday.) Every house is a potential nest of no-goodniks -- and thus a legitimate target for destruction.
And if it turns out that you kill a whole houseful of civilians -- if it turns out you take five children and shatter their skulls, spill their viscera from gaping holes torn across their bellies, and crush their small, undefended bodies beneath rubble and stone -- why, that's OK. Because all that matters is that the weapon functioned in the way it was intended to function. The rules of engagement were followed to the letter. Everything happened as it was supposed to happen.
The five children died because they were supposed to die. The system worked.
This point seems difficult for some to grasp. Oh, how terrible, they say, when these "mistakes" are made! Oh, how these "unfortunate tragedies" detract from the altruistic intentions of our young, progressive president and his humanitarian war machine! Oh, isn't it such a shame when things go wrong!
But nothing is going wrong. When you read of children lying in a broken heap, their lifeblood draining away into dark, coagulated pools -- that means the system is functioning properly. That's what the system does. That is what it is there to do: to kill, destroy and dominate. That's why we have installed the system in Afghanistan.
And what is the ultimate goal of this system, the purpose of the killing, destroying and dominating?
As Frida Berrigan at TomDispatch points out, the United States now owns a virtual monopoly in the ever-burgeoning world market for weapons of death. And under its young, progressive president, Barack Obama, the government is relentlessly pushing to strip away the few remaining fig leaves of regulation hindering this immensely destructive but staggeringly profitable business:
As Pentagon spokesman Geoff Morell explained in January, Secretary of Defense Robert Gates wants to see "wholesale changes to the rules and regulations on government technology exports" in the name of "competitiveness."
When he says "government technology exports," Morell of course means weapons and other military technologies. "Tinkering with our antiquated, bureaucratic, overly cumbersome system is not enough to maintain our competitiveness in the global economy and also help our friends and allies buy the equipment they need to contribute to global security," he continued, "[Gates] strongly supports the administration’s efforts to completely reform our export control regime, starting ideally with a blank sheet of paper."
... In addition to revising these export controls, the administration is looking at the issue of "dual-use" technologies. These are not weapons. They do not shoot or explode. Included are high-speed computer processors, surveillance and detection networks, and a host of other complex and evolving technologies that could have military as well as civilian applications. This category might also include intangible items like cyber-entities or access to controlled web environments.
This is the world that the Obama Administration is pushing hard to create: a hellish global dystopia of bristling, bloated military-dominated regimes wielding ever-greater control over their populations with ever-more intrusive "security" technology. It is the world described in the nightmare vision voiced, as a warning, by Dwight Eisenhower more than half a century ago:
[A] life of perpetual fear and tension; a burden of arms draining the wealth and the labor of all peoples; a wasting of strength that defies the American system or the Soviet system or any system to achieve true abundance and happiness for the peoples of this earth.
Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired signifies, in the final sense, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed.
This world in arms in not spending money alone. It is spending the sweat of its laborers, the genius of its scientists, the hopes of its children ... This is not a way of life at all, in any true sense. Under the cloud of threatening war, it is humanity hanging from a cross of iron.
Now that nightmare has become the happy dream of our progressive government. Where Eisenhower, the top general in history's most destructive war, saw that the weapons business was a monstrous waste, an outright theft of the lives, blood, treasure and opportunity of all humankind, Obama and his handpicked Bush holdover Gates see it as a noble enterprise that actually "contributes to global security"! They are not concerned -- even rhetorically -- about the hungry being robbed of food and the cold being stripped of clothing. No, their focus is on "maintaining our competitiveness in the global economy" -- "competitiveness" in a business where, as Berrigan notes, the United States already controls almost 70 percent of the global market.
So that's why no super-duper hi-tech death technology is going to be pulled from the order of battle in Afghanistan for longer than a single news cycle, just long enough to offset the bad headlines that a slaughter of civilians will momentarily produce. These death technologies cost too much money -- and, more importantly, make too much money -- to be set aside for any reason.
Berrigan notes the naked profit motive underlying Obama's grand strategy of "Afghanistanization" -- i.e., building up the military and security forces of the American-implanted Afghan government. As in Iraq, the aim is not so much "nation building" as "market building": setting up yet another conduit to pass American taxpayer money directly to weapons dealers:
"What’s Hot?" is the title of Vice Adm. Jeffrey Wieranga’s blog entry for Jan. 4, 2010. Wieranga is the director of the Pentagon’s Defense Security Cooperation Agency, which is charged with overseeing weapons exports, and such pillow talk is evidently more than acceptable – at least when it’s about weapons sales. In fact, Wieranga could barely restrain himself that day, adding: "Afghanistan is really HOT!" Admittedly, on that day the temperature in Kabul was just above freezing, but not at the Pentagon, where arms sales to Afghanistan evidently create a lot of heat.
As Wieranga went on to write, the Obama administration’s new 2010/2011 budget allocates $6 billion in weaponry for Afghan Security Forces. The Afghans will actually get those weapons for free, but U.S. weapons makers will make real money delivering them at taxpayers’ expense and, as the vice admiral pointed out, that "means there is a staggering amount of acquisition work to do."
You ain't just whistlin' Dixie, Vice Admiral. There will be "acquisition work" out the wazoo as the war goes on -- for decades afterward. But of course, these "free" arms sales are just like the samplings that pushers pass around outside the high school gates. Because once the mark is hooked, once the native military and security forces are thoroughly entrenched, they will need constant replenishment with more weapons, new technologies, and more lucrative "training" from American sources, both public and private. This in turn will leave the client state saddled with crippling public debt -- necessitating the usual "shock therapy" of "economic reform," i.e., shredding "inefficient" social programs -- like, education, sanitation, health care, etc. -- and turning the material wealth and natural resources of the country over to a few select private investors, foreign and domestic.
This treatment is not just for client states anymore, by the way. As Michael Hudson points out at CounterPunch, the American people themselves are beginning to get this full treatment. With their economy, communities and social fabric being devoured by a bloated military establishment and voracious elites, the American people are now being told -- by these same voracious elites -- that they must address the "deficit crisis" by giving up their meager "entitlements" and accepting a vastly diminished and degraded way of life ... even as their young, progressive president continues to expand the bloated military establishment in all directions.
But again, this is what the system is intended to do. Like the missile launcher that stole the lives of five children in Marja, the whole militarist-corporatist system is functioning properly in nailing humanity on a cross of iron, diminishing and degrading life all around the world -- for money, for power and profit, for the power and profit of a tiny sliver of privileged elites, so they can strut and preen and gorge themselves in comfort, for a brief time, before they too, like all the rest of us, go down howling into darkness.
That is what it comes to. That is what the system is for. That is what the war is about. That is why the children died. That is why more will die tomorrow.
And that is why your own children's lives -- their opportunities, their hopes, their possibilities for a peaceful, secure, productive, fulfilling life -- are being systematically constricted and degraded before your eyes.
There is no dysfunction in all of this. As we noted here not long ago, quoting Alex Cox: The Purpose of a System is What It Does.
UPDATE: Michael Hudson has more on the glowing future (as in the red glow of smoking ruins) that the system has planned for us, in this new Counterpunch piece.

Women tend to be more self conscious about their weight than men, no more so than when they are pregnant.
However, with your baby growing inside you perhaps now is not the best time to start worrying about losing weight. Especially not through the use of a diet pill.
There is a reason why you will find a label on the back of most diet pill forbidding the use of them if you are pregnant or breastfeeding.
Lets look at how diet pills can affect pregnancy:
Could a diet pill prevent pregnancy?
If you are overweight and struggling to conceive then one of the first suggestions your doctor will make is to lose weight.
Obviously a healthy diet with regular exercise is preferred but there should not be any harm using a diet pill BEFORE you get pregnant.
Always read reviews before you buy them though and always check that the ingredients used are effective and safe.
Once you finally get lucky then it will be time to put those diet pills in a draw somewhere, at least until the baby is born (that is if you are not going to breastfeed).
Could a diet pill affect a pregnancy test?
At the present time there is no proof either way that a diet pill can affect a pregnancy test.
Could using a diet pill increase pregnancy risks?
Using a diet pill during pregnancy can raise the risk of your unborn child developing different health conditions or even birth defects.
As with smoking and drinking, using a diet pill while pregnant is not recommended under any circumstances.
Could a diet pill affect the course of your pregnancy?
There are numerous risks to your baby if you choose to use a diet pill while pregnant. For example if the diet pill contains high doses of Caffeine then your unborn child will be more likely to be born underweight or addicted to Caffeine.
Too much Caffeine can also increase the risk of miscarriage.
There are many reasons why you should not even contemplate using a diet pill while pregnant.
If you are really concerned that you are gaining too much weight during your pregnancy then it would be a better idea to look at what you are eating.
Even though the old saying is that you are eating for two, you do not have to take it literally.

Small lymphocytic lymphoma is a slow-growing (indolent) cancer involving immature white blood cells (lymphocytes) found in bone marrow, lymph nodes, and blood. The disease is a form of non-Hodgkin lymphoma and often treated the same as CLL (chronic lymphocytic lymphoma).
The disease develops as too many abnormal lymphocytes thrive and multiply in the body, especially in the lymph nodes, which are tiny organs found in the armpits, groin, neck, and other areas of the body. Lymph nodes are an essential part of the body's immune system that helps fight off infection.
Small lymphocytic lymphoma usually develops and progresses slowly where symptoms are not obvious when the condition is first diagnosed. Usually, the patient is told that have the disease after it is identified in a blood test taken for other reasons.
- Who Is at Risk for Small Lymphocytic Lymphoma?
- Common Symptoms
- Diagnosing Small Lymphocytic Lymphoma
- Small Lymphocytic Lymphoma Treatments
Who Is at Risk for Small Lymphocytic Lymphoma?
Doctors have yet to determine the exact cause of small lymphocytic lymphoma. However, there are notable risk factors associated with the disease.
- Viral Infections including Epstein-Barr virus and hepatitis C virus likely increase the potential risk of developing small lymphocytic lymphoma
- Workplace exposures to toxic chemicals including pesticides and herbicides likely increase the risk of developing the disease. In farming communities across Midwest America, the incident rate of lymphoma cancers is high.
- Family history of a father, mother, or siblings who have acquired small lymphocytic lymphoma likely increases the risk of developing the disease. However, inheriting the disease is considered to be rare.
- Weakened Immune Systems affected by HIV/AIDS or other serious diseases likely place people at risk for developing small lymphocytic lymphoma
- Exposure to Chemicals when receiving chemotherapy to treat cancer and other conditions is thought to be a risk factor for the disease
- Age is thought to be a factor associated with small lymphocytic lymphoma because the disease tends to affect adults who have reached their 60 th year.
Many of the symptoms associated with small lymphocytic lymphoma are not obvious. Usually, the individual is told they have the disease from a diagnosis derived from blood test results during routine examinations. Approximately one-third of all people with the condition live years without ever displaying symptoms. However, the most common small lymphocytic lymphoma symptoms involve:
- Unexpected weight loss
- Loss of appetite
- Painful swelling in the groin, armpits, or neck
- Night sweats
- Pale appearance
- Easy bruising or bleeding
Even during the initial development of small lymphocytic lymphoma, the individual may develop the symptoms associated with anemia. This is because abnormal white blood cells are likely accumulating in bone marrow where the body produces blood cells. Anemia results in pale looking skin associated with fatigue because the body lacks sufficient numbers of red blood cells.
If the skin bruises or bleeds easily, it is likely the result of bone marrow making insufficient numbers of platelets (blood clotting cells).
Diagnosing Small Lymphocytic Lymphoma
There is no one simple diagnostic test to validate a diagnosis of small lymphocytic lymphoma. Instead, the doctor will conduct a thorough physical examination and take a medical/personal history asking questions that include:
- Have you noticed any swollen areas on the body including in the groin, armpits, or neck?
- Do you often feel fatigued, overworked, or tired?
- Have you experienced unexpected weight gain or lost your appetite recently?
Likely, the doctor will recommend a lymph node biopsy if an enlarged lymph node is detected. Removal of the note allows it to be examined under a microscope to determine if small lymphocytic lymphoma is present. The procedures performed under local anesthesia, numbing the area to be excised, or under general anesthesia while the patient is asleep.
Once a diagnosis of small lymphocytic lymphoma has been verified, the doctor will assess (stage) the extent of the disease including its progression and whether it has metastasized (spread) to other areas of the body.
The doctor will stage the disease using a strict system that identifies the affected group of lymph nodes, the location in the body, and whether the disease has spread to other organs including the liver or bone marrow. These stages include:
- Stage I – At this stage, only a single group of lymph nodes in a localized area is affected. This is usually in the groin, one side of the neck, or armpit.
- Stage II – As the disease progresses, at least two groups of lymph nodes have now become affected in a localized area just above or just below the diaphragm (the muscle under the lungs separating the abdomen from the chest).
- Stage III – As the disease advances, the lymphoma has spread to lymph nodes low and above the diaphragm.
- Stage IV – In its final stages, the lymphoma has spread (metastasized) beyond the lymph nodes and has invaded other organs including the lungs, liver, or bones.
In addition to identifying the stage of the disease, the doctor will also reference its progression by the letter "A" or "B" to categorize specific symptoms. If the patient is suffering weight loss, fevers, or night sweats, the doctor will classify the stage as "B".
However, the doctor may be using an alternative staging system recognize as the "Binet" system that refers to the number of enlarged lymph nodes and the associated platelets, red blood cells, and white blood cells in the bloodstream. This system involves:
- Stage A – It this initial stage, there are only one or two enlarged lymph nodes detected.
- Stage B – Three or more enlarged lymph nodes have been detected.
- Stage C – The numbers of platelets, red blood cells, or both are lower than normal.
The doctor uses the staging method as an effective tool for formulating the best treatment of small lymphocytic lymphoma.
Small Lymphocytic Lymphoma Treatments
If the patient does not display any symptoms associated with small lymphocytic lymphoma, the doctor will likely recommend "watchful waiting" to see if the condition is stabilized. In its initial stage, treatment has not been effective at extending the patient's lifespan or known to cause side effects. The doctor instead will likely recommend that the patient regularly visits a cancer specialist once symptoms have developed. In many cases, it is years before the disease progresses to the point where any treatment is required.
However, treating advanced cases of small lymphocytic lymphoma have been highly effective where the disease goes into remission (no active signs of the condition is detected). Recurrence of the disease requires additional treatment that could be followed by remission. The most common treatments for small lymphocytic lymphoma include:
- Chemotherapy – The doctor will recommend the use of cytotoxic (anti-cancer) medications that destroy cancer cells. This form of chemotherapy is usually administered intravenously (through a vein), by tablets, or both. The oncologist might prescribe a combination of medications that include bendamustine, cyclophosphamide, fludarabine, or chlorambucil.
- Monoclonal Antibody Therapy – Medications known as monoclonal antibodies are formulated to recognize specific proteins that are found on the surface of affected cells. Injecting antibiotics into the bloodstream can destroy abnormal lymphocytes (T cells and B cells).
If the above therapies are ineffective, the doctor might recommend a stem cell transplant where healthy stem cells from the patient or a donor are given through an IV drip to allow blood cells to recover from the serious side effects associated with chemotherapy.

SAN CLEMENTE – Arguably the most difficult nonleague schedule for any team in Orange County ended with a loud statement on Friday night.
No. 5 Edison rode some timely playmaking and its dominant defense to a 31-3 nonleague victory against No. 15 San Clemente at San Clemente High.
"We were ready to play," Chargers coach Dave White said. "We lost to a really good Mater Dei team last week, so we wanted to do the best we could tonight and make some improvements for league."
The complexion of the game changed late in the first quarter. With both defenses digging in at the start, Aleksander Torgersen completed a pass to Trevor Borkowski, who broke two tackles and ran 65 yards to give Edison (4-1) a 7-0 lead with 1:59 left in the opening quarter.
The Chargers continued their dominance with two more touchdowns in the second quarter. The first came on 3-yard Torgersen touchdown run and the second came from a 51-yard fumble return from Elijah Herrera. Edison held a 21-3 lead at half and never looked back.
"For me, personally, it was two big plays," Tritons head coach Jaime Ortiz said about the first half. "Take away those two big plays, and it's a close ball game."
Edison's passing game, which has been improving from week to week, took another step forward against San Clemente (4-2). Torgersen passed for 235 yards, 227 in the first half.
Torgersen received help from his running game in the second half, as Marquis Ross carried the ball 14 times for 128 yards. One of those carries was a 33-yard touchdown run to put the Chargers up 28-3 midway through the third.
The dominant Edison defense sacked Loren Applegate four times, including 21/2 by Trenton Aschoff.
Aschoff said now that the nonleague portion of the Chargers' schedule is completed, it will begin to pay dividends.
"It was a tough schedule," Aschoff said. "It's going to get us ready for league and definitely prepared us for CIF."

|These promotional boxes featured large images of two players on each box front, the players are not named but are easy to identify.|
So one day last month I am checking Ebay for CFL items and I come across an auction for the two boxes shown above (with seller's thumb on the left) with these dynamic and attractive CFL players plastered all over the package fronts. Pleasantly surprised I head to the local grocery stores to see if I can locate actual copies for myself.
|There are six boxes in total in the set and the common backs advertise a Post sponsored contest for the Ultimate Grey Cup Experience. The players are only available on the Family Size versions of these popular Post brands.|
The players available in the promotion are :
- Box 1 Darian Durant & Joshus Bell
- Box 2 Bo Levi Mitchell & Marcus Howard
- Box 3 Drew Willy & Kyries Hebert
- Box 4 Henry Burris & Nicolas Boulay
- Box 5 Zach Collaros & James Yurichuk
- Box 6 Mike Reilly & Adam Bighill
Turns out that by the time I even found out about this promotion it was already over so I was lucky to still be able to find most of the boxes at stores around my area of the city. The website image below shows that Post was promoting the products online fairly well but the CFL might have made a bigger splash on its website or via its mobile Apps because I never heard about it from those channels.
While searching for the boxes, lo and behold I stumbled upon another Post CFL promotion relating to the Jerseys of each CFL club.
|These boxes are dressed up as the nine CFL team jerseys on different brands of Post cereals. This time the backs advertise a contest to win Official CFL team jerseys.|
|Details on this promotion are available at the Post Canadian website|
This contest is still active and goes until December 31, 2016 and includes discounts at cflshop.ca as well as 250 Jerseys available to be won for each team.
|For unknown reasons some of the boxes (Winnipeg, Calgary & maybe one more) have the jersey graphics on both sides of the box bilingually.|
Co-op was the first to produce modern cereal boxes with player images from the start of this decade and these were partially catalogued in Volume II of Collecting Canadian Football. You would think that over the last five decades there would have been a lot of CFL themed material promoted on cereal boxes but other than the classic Post sixties sets, this is generally not really the case. There were a few generic football cards from multi sport sets made available in cereal boxes as well as a few generic football items as prizes in cereal boxes (those will eventually be catalogued in the upcoming Volume III of Collecting Canadian Football).
No doubt there are more vintage unidentified CFL cereal box memorabilia items out there waiting to be discovered, and happily these days some current ones as well. With any luck Post and the CFL will expand on this collaboration in upcoming seasons.

NYT: New Pandemic Plight: Hospitals Are Running Out of Vaccines
Vaccines are in short supply and hospitals across the country are having to cancel vaccination appointments. The problem is particularly bad in Texas where cases are increasing by about 20,000 each day. There is much confusion on vaccine distribution because as of Friday, 39.9 million doses were distributed but only 19.1 million were administered. The distribution of vaccines decreased and fully stopped in some cities. Hospitals expecting to receive thousands of does only got a few hundred.

The hype of Samsung Galaxy S6 as the best Android smartphone invites a lot more people into checking and even purchasing the Galaxy S6 Sprint. This leads to another great thing for Samsung as the device is sold more than the predecessor in the first month of its sale by 25%.
What makes this one smartphone a really popular device that everyone seems to want it? It’s not difficult to see why the new addition of the Samsung Galaxy S family becomes so popular. Like what wise men say, there is quality for every penny paid. The brand new Samsung Galaxy is the epitome of high quality product with great performance and high value wanted by a lot of people. Buyers are greedy and they always want the best. Samsung Galaxy S6 has become an answer to the long journey of finding the perfect mobile phone endorsing Android operating system.
Galaxy S6 Sprint: Great Features, Highly Valuable and Popular
Features of the brand new flagship phones by Samsung are greatly valued by many. IN a nutshell, it has great and fast processor, sturdy build and stylish design, wide, clean and crisp display, good memory and storage capacity (storage can be expanded up to 200GB) and more great things. The thing that stands out the most about the new Galaxy S6 is the camera. Despite having fewer megapixels compared to its predecessor (Galaxy S5), the camera actually capable of taking better pictures especially under the lower light environment. This comes as surprising for many people.
For every buyer who has interest in purchasing this one great smartphone by Samsung, there’s no need to wait longer. Plenty of shops providing the Galaxy S6 Sprint locked or unlocked. These devices are ready to be taken home by those who can pay to get them. Grand it now, it’s truly the best offer.

They look so magnificent, stately in summer, covered with leaves.
But I like them best in the winter. That's when they're most interesting. The way the gnarled, twisted branches interweave as they stretch to the sky. I love to look at them.
Winter is last on my list of my favorite season. But mornings like today, the beauty Old Man Winter made... was awesome!
Here in the river bottoms, our trees grow real big, living on virgin land means they are old as the river below.
We had a few inches of snow last night. The...
for trees. Northern California is covered in giant redwoods. Old, towering creatures with trunks as massive as buildings. And beautiful white birches. And oak trees everywhere. The cherry blossoms have just finished shedding. And the magnolias are budding.
and old EVEN BETTER! they make me happy. makes me wonder and i start thinking about all they have lived through, what animals lived in them, did people have a picnic under them. were they planted or naturally grow?? endless things run through my mind. lol i just want to hug em...

House Spirits, the makers of Aviation Gin, has expanded into the whiskey world, and they aren’t messing around. Westward is a very small-batch 100% single malt whiskey made from locally sourced (Pacific Northwest) barley. Westward Oregon Straight Malt is fermented with Scottish and American ale yeasts, then double pot distilled. The spirit is aged in full-size, new American oak barrels for two years.
Despite its evident youth and substantial cost, this is an exciting and engaging whiskey you ought to try. Viscous and honey-colored, it’s unassuming to the eye and mysterious on the nose, with earthy honey notes, and a bit of orange peel. On the palate, things get exciting, quick. The honey character is there in the body in spades, with lots of citrus, some light cereal notes, and a touch of smoke on the back end. All of this melds well together, the slightly thick body pulling the various flavors together into a really cohesive whole. The sweet, almost candied finish is incredibly inviting, requiring further exploration with each sip. Highly worthwhile.
90 proof. Reviewed: Batch #2, bottle #392.

Help needed getting a job
I am currently enrolled in Charlotte Truck Driver Training School. I am going to graduate at the end of the month. I am having a hard time finding a job, due to the fact that I have a 20mph over from a year ago, and back in 2007 my license was suspended due to the fact I could not pay a ticket. I have never had them taken from me, but it does not look good on a resume. I have had so many let downs, and to make things worse I see all the people in my class that have felonies in there past getting jobs, and I have a ticket from a year ago stopping me from doing just that. I am a hard worker, and put what was left from my life savings into getting the training to get a new trade going. I feel like I am letting my family down, and bills are piling up and unemployment is just not doing it. I am so tired of getting let down, due to my past. The ticket was old and I only paid 125.00, for a fine. If you guys know any companies that would hire me I would greatly appreciate it. I swear to you on my life I will not let them down. I have no felonies,and no prior arrests,I am a good honest person, with a few speeding tickets in the last five, and only one in the last three years. If you can help let me know.

The Only Way Is Essex star Lucy Mecklenburgh has claimed that co-star Sam Faiers is not her friend.
The pair have been feuding the the latest series of the reality show over claims Sam has proof Mario Falcone cheated on Lucy.
Lucy and Sam previously tried to resolve the situation, but in an upcoming episode, Mecklenburgh tells co-stars Lydia Bright and Danni Park-Dempsey: "If she had proof, when I went round to her house, why didn't she give me the proof then, rather than make up with me and carry on starting it all up again?
"Let's be fair - it's not the first time she has stabbed me in the back."
She added: "I broke up with Mark Wright and then that night she got in a cab with him and slept with him. That's not a friend."
Mecklenburgh recently said Faiers had tarnished her engagement to Mario.
Lucy told Closer magazine: "Sam's my old friend, but I feel like she's tarnished my engagement [by spreading rumours] and hasn't said sorry.
"I'm genuinely really happy and I trust Mario. He's with me every night, so I'm sure I'd know if he was having an affair!
"Unfortunately, being in the position we are in, rumours start that get out of control. But as long as we're honest with each other, that's all that matters."

The cost of college tuition is on the rise, and families are often concerned about how to make ends meet. However, there are ways to save on university costs with the help of financial aid, says Ian Welham of Complete College Planning Solutions. You just have to know when and how to approach it.
According to Welham, over 90 percent of students are overpaying for college, simply because they don't understand how the system works and aren't applying for financial aid when they need to. This leaves tens of thousands of unclaimed dollars on the table.
The first thing a student needs to do is fill out the FAFSA -- the Free Application for Federal Student Aid. This allows the student to be considered for government money, but he or she will want to get their application in as soon as possible. The aid is relinquished on a first-come, first-serve basis.
In general, it's a good idea to fill out the FAFSA right away. Many schools require that it be completed before they'll consider a student for merit-based aid, which is given to whom the school considers will be an asset to their student body. Merit-based aid can account for over one-third of college tuition costs.
Welham also suggests refraining from putting too much money in your child's name. The penalty counts four times what it would against the parents when being considered for financial aid. Also, you don't want the student to work too much in the year before heading to college, as the income will count against him or her and can affect the amount of aid received.
Gender also plays a role in applying for aid. Currently, 60 percent of college students are female, so schools are willing to offer incentives for males to attend their school. That being said, there are less women in the fields of engineering, science and technology, so universities may offer money to female students who are gifted in those areas.
The high costs of college tuition are a concern for many families, but by following these tips, students can potentially save thousands.

The Drs. Julian and Raye Richardson Apartments provide a dignified residence for chronically homeless adults, with 120 studios and supportive services including counseling, medical care, job training, and employment opportunities. The landscape design encompasses a streetscape, a central courtyard, and a roof deck, all designed to provide a peaceful respite in contrast to the city streets where residents once lived. The central courtyard forms the heart of the building. Lushly planted with ferns and palm trees and equipped with custom furniture made from locally salvaged materials, the space accommodates a variety of uses. Five stories above the courtyard, a roof deck offers another healing space for residents, with seating areas and raised beds for vegetable gardening. GreenPoint Rated, the project employs a multi-faceted stormwater management system that includes permeable pavers over a gravel infiltration system, rain gardens, and a green roof.

Your customer sits on their couch, phone in hand, shopping on your website. They see a product they love, click buy, and await its arrival. It should be that easy. But delivery isn't always easy. Your driver takes a shortcut and is stuck in traffic, the delivery is late, and you and your customer don’t know where the package is or when it will arrive.

We would like to take a moment to apologize to you, our audience.

If you’ve ever wondered why UPS operators sound like they’re both bored and on the verge of killing you, it’s because of jackasses like this who call up and give fake information because they’re too lazy/stupid to figure out how to perform basic measurements.

As any Mad Men fan can tell you, ads are all about creating the itch and then selling the cream to soothe it. You stoke the desire and then offer the solution. Sales ensue. But what the modern dreamweavers on Madison Ave have figured out is that the two don’t even have to be related. You could show a bunch of elephants trampling a village – an anxious event, indeed – and then “Pencils! Get 20 for $2″ and you have yourself a great ad. Very Eisenstein, and for some reason, this tactic seems especially popular in cellphone ads. I remember a Verizon one where a girl had to have a llama and it was socially awkward.

All of this reminds us a little of this Kids In The Hall Sketch (see below) where a young boy finds a stray businessman and brings him home.

Going through your first pregnancy is both an exciting and scary time. Becoming a new mom comes with a host of responsibilities and financial obligations. Staying on track financially when welcoming a new baby can be challenging, but it’s not impossible. When preparing for motherhood, it’s a good idea to stop and assess the big picture of your finances and start planning for the future. Below in this article, we will cover the 3 Smart Investments for New Mothers.
1. Rethink your budget
You should already have a household budget that keeps your spending in check and allows you to set aside savings. Newborns are expensive, and unfortunately, you need to make sure you can afford to have a baby. The larger your family becomes, the greater the need to build your savings. An emergency fund should have three to six months’ worth of living expenses in the event of unforeseen financial circumstances. It’s important to adjust your savings to reflect the updated expenses of a new baby.
Even with your finances well planned, transitioning into motherhood takes time. Rather than make any major financial decisions in the first year, it’s a smart idea to focus on saving and get acclimated with your new budget. Things like purchasing a new home or diving into college investments should be put on pause so that you can keep extra cash flexible.
Navigating the first year of motherhood can be intimidating without the support, advice, and wisdom from other women who have been through it. Truly Mama is a trusted resource for everything you need to know about babies and becoming a parent. At trulymama.com you can find trusted information about baby registries, strollers, car seats, cribs, morning sickness, preeclampsia, childbirth, and getting through toddlerhood. Having a safe place to turn to when feeling overwhelmed as a new mom is a lifesaver.
2. Make sure you have all the right insurances and coverage
You’d think that your health insurance provider would discuss adding a new baby to your insurance plan when using prenatal services. In reality, it’s your responsibility to contact your health care provider and add your newborn to your plan in a timely manner. Most insurers require newborns to be added within the first two months of age.
Many parents don’t have a life insurance policy at the time of their first pregnancy. One of the biggest concerns you’ll face when approaching motherhood is how you will provide for your family in the event of your death. Purchasing a life insurance policy takes the financial worry out of a worst-case scenario and allows you to name beneficiaries for death benefits.
Whether you or your toddler require prescription medications, it’s always a good idea to save money when possible. Internet pharmacies offer a competitive advantage over traditional local pharmacies. CheapoMeds works with Canadian International Pharmacy Association (CIPA) certified and licensed pharmacies to source quality products that adhere to local and national regulations and standards. All products are approved by Health Canada to ensure meds meet Canadian standards as well as the FDA’s safety standards in the U.S. This online pharmacy allows you to save big on prescription drugs and OTC medicines by purchasing generic equivalents that are just as effective as brand-name prescription medications.
3. Plan your estate and name your beneficiaries
Along the same lines as life insurance, it’s important to plan your estate upon the birth of a new baby. Writing a will is the best way to divide your assets among named beneficiaries and designate legal guardians for your children. Deciding what will happen with your estate, who will manage it, and how your children will be provided for saves a lot of headache during a difficult time. It’s important to update your estate documents as your family grows.
Reaching the intersection of family and single life is a big decision that requires a bit of financial thought. When you welcome a new baby, it’s a good idea to re-think your budget, make sure you have the right types of insurance, and take the time to plan your estate.

Volleyball: Teens aim for world glory
Monday, June 24, 2013
Two Tauranga teenagers have their sights set on global under-19 beach volleyball glory ahead of the age group world championships in Portugal next month.
Tauranga Boys' College Year 13 student Brad Fullerton and Otumoetai College old boy Liam Matheson are a big chance at the tournament after their top 20 finish as relative youngsters at the event last year.
The boys have high hopes as only about a quarter of the teams are returning from last year's tournament.
"We want to place in the top five, so quarter-finals or better," said Matheson.
"In placing 17th last year we got knocked out in the first round of elimination, but this year we want to aim for two rounds better than that, which could hopefully get us some funding from Sport New Zealand."
Matheson, who only started playing the sport in Year 10 as a way to spend more time with friends, has risen through the ranks to be one of the country's top young prospects.
After first making the Otumoetai College Senior A side in Year 12, he progressed quickly to make the North Island secondary school indoor team before travelling to Singapore with the New Zealand under-19 development team in 2011.
Fullerton has played for much longer, but only started taking the sport seriously once he was exposed to expert coaching at secondary school.
A promising small forward who made Bay of Plenty age group basketball teams, Fullerton formed part of the Tauranga Boys' indoor team that captured the school's 10th national title earlier this year.
"It was going to be our 10th or Western Heights' 10th so it was amazing. I've never felt anything like it. It made everyone so proud."
In less than two years they have formed a formidable beach combination that impressed at the Swatch Youth World Championships in Cyprus and captured the under-19 title at the New Zealand championships.
Like many promising young players from across the region, they are looking further abroad in their development.
"I'm currently looking for a scholarship to America to continue my volleyball over there," said Matheson. "With the scholarships to America I'm looking to gain one for indoor because you don't really play beach at college over there. In the future, though, I'll probably concentrate on beach because I'm not exactly tall enough for indoor if you look at some of the guys on the world circuit."
The BayTrust scholarship recipient attributes his success to the tireless work of coaches from Otumoetai College and, more recently, Tauranga Boys' College.
"They've all done so much through the years. The work they put in with us boys is just ridiculous - training three times a week every morning before nationals."
At the end of the competition the pair will travel to Miami to meet up with the New Zealand under-19 indoor team to contest the US high performance championships.

1.2 AROMA 2/10 APPEARANCE 1/5 TASTE 2/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 5/20
Bottle. Standard boring lager flavour from China, could be worse. Sweet in the finish
mile (2444) - Helsinki, FINLAND - AUG 16, 2013
1 AROMA 2/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 2/10 PALATE 1/5 OVERALL 3/20
Bottle. Light golden, very small and fully diminishing head. Light, malty - corn and sweetish aroma, faint vegetables. Body is light, malty – corn and sweetish flavor, faint vegetables. Finish is short, malty – corn and lightly sweetish, faint vegetables and light alcohol. Almost like water.
EithCubes (4409) - New Jersey, USA - JUL 29, 2013
0.7 AROMA 2/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 1/10 PALATE 1/5 OVERALL 1/20
11.2oz bottle, green glass, no abv marking, assuming this rating is in the right spot (GTIN=819538001508). Nose is sultry with corn, light dust and flowers. Dull clear golden with a soapy white head. Ultra-watery body sweet and grainy, no corn here, faintly floral. No bitterness whatsoever, but at least the sweetness is controlled; there is a slowly grating and warming sensation at the back of the throat and something of a foul aftertaste. Strange, considering how nondescript the main thrust is.
Rob_D_UK (443) - Surrey, ENGLAND - JUL 7, 2013
1.5 AROMA 3/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 3/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 5/20
Had this on a flight from Beijing to Sydney. Light golden clear body with normal size head. Lemon, grass and hops in the nose. Hops and bitter in flavour and bitter in aftertaste.

Rated in 2010 (Backlog) - Yellow in color with a small white head. Aroma is of corn and skunkiness. Taste is of corn and grain. Blah.
Lenusik (119) - Illinois, USA - JUN 24, 2013
0.5 AROMA 1/10 APPEARANCE 1/5 TASTE 1/10 PALATE 1/5 OVERALL 1/20
This was the official beer of the recent Beijing Olympics. I’m pretty sure this beer was chosen because it goes down easy and would make it very easy to obtain urine for drug tests (Carl Lewis needed 5 beers in Barcelona for one test - this beer would have been perfect). It’s swill. It’s Chinese Bud Light.
kiwianer (2916) - Otorohanga, NEW ZEALAND - MAY 24, 2013
2.1 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 8/20

AndreasJaeger (505) - Malmö, SWEDEN - FEB 14, 2013
1.4 AROMA 2/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 3/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 5/20
Gul i färgen, vitt skum. Doftar och smakar söt malt, gräs, lite unket, kolsyrat. Bättre än många andra Kinaöl.
theisti (3001) - Leawood, Kansas, USA - DEC 31, 2012
1.3 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 1/10 PALATE 1/5 OVERALL 4/20
11.2 oz green bottle gifted to me as part of a World Market beers of the world 9 pack. The pour is a clear yellow golden with a 2 inch white head that breaks down quickly with with thick bubbles. The aroma is cereal grain, lightly sweet, faint and not much going on. The taste is a weird chemical sweetness right away, unpleasant, followed by a flat floral sweet, and then a bit of cardboard in the back. The palate is light to medium bodied, low carbonation level, and the dirty vegetal finish. Flat, watery and flabby, I could only drink a few ounces of this. Gross stuff.
czar (3246) - Québec, Quebec, CANADA - NOV 12, 2012
1 AROMA 2/10 APPEARANCE 1/5 TASTE 2/10 PALATE 1/5 OVERALL 4/20

A judge found Carlos Benavides-Montes guilty of second-degree disorderly conduct and interfering with a peace officer for trying to pull a cop off another Occupy Portland protester who was under arrest during a May Day demonstration.
Last week, the judge fined him $220, reducing the prosecutor's recommendation by a few hundred dollars. Benavides-Montes stammered, explaining that he works only part time and he's barely getting by as is. "I don't have the means to pay this!" he shouted.
A fellow Occupy protester -- sitting in the courtroom gallery and not associated with the case, angrily chimed in: "Don't do this to people!"
Gone are the days when Occupy defendants arrived to court in droves, emboldened by the belief that standing in the streets, chanting on sidewalks, camping in parks or marching into downtown banks was constitutionally protected free speech. They would smile at each other and wiggle their fingers in the air to show solidarity.
They believed the justice system would clear their names if they were only patient.
But now the Occupy protesters are getting convicted -- mostly on non-criminal violations, such as failing to obey police or blocking the street. The violations are similar to traffic citations: They draw fines but no jail time. But they sting nonetheless.
In all, police made about 240 arrests during a series of demonstrations from October 2011 to May 2012. The court dismissed some cases for reasons that included lack of evidence or officers who didn't appear for court dates. Other defendants decided to admit guilt and take plea deals with sentences that called for community service.
Defendants in 94 cases chose to fight the charges at trial in Multnomah County Circuit Court.
Of those, 50 cases are on hold -- awaiting an Oregon Supreme Court ruling on whether the protesters are entitled to jury trials and court-appointed counsel. Those defendants were charged with criminal trespass.
In 37 of the 94 cases, defendants faced other charges and had to go to trial before a judge. In 32 of those, Judge Cheryl Albrecht found defendants guilty of at least one of the charges against them. She's acquitted just three defendants. She has yet to rule on two cases.The judge has pointed out to the disappointed defendants that she hasn't convicted protesters of every charge. She tells them she's spent many hours poring over the details of their cases and dismissed charges she thinks weren't proven.
One of the stickiest questions before the judge has been whether the First Amendment protected protesters who were on public sidewalks -- as was the case of three people arrested in front of the Pioneer Courthouse Square branch of Chase bank on Nov. 17, 2011. Police ordered the protesters to move down the sidewalk away from the bank.
The judge found that police had a legitimate purpose for clearing a portion of the sidewalk -- to get to protesters inside the bank. The demonstrators had "ample" opportunities in the "immediate vicinity" to protest nearby, she said, and so convicted the three of ignoring police. One of them was Elizabeth Nichols, who was captured in an Oregonian photo receiving a blast of pepper-spray in her mouth.
Portland police Sgt. Pete Simpson said the bureau "vigorously" supports protesters' First Amendment rights, but it wants people to exercise free speech without flooding into businesses, blocking traffic or camping in city parks. He hopes that the arrests -- and now the convictions -- are getting that message across.
"The purpose is ... to change behavior," Simpson said. "Then maybe the next time if at a protest, police give an order to move out of the street, people will understand they're not kidding. They will arrest you."
Bill Walsh, one of more than a dozen attorneys who represented Occupy protesters pro bono, said American protesters throughout history have had to push boundaries to get noticed. That was true of suffragettes who marched the streets of Washington, D.C., a century ago and of the civil rights movement in the 1960s, when protesters organized sit-ins in businesses.
"How do you get your point across if you just stay out of the way?" Walsh said.
At a recent sentencing hearing, Occupy defendants said police and prosecutors had trampled on their rights.
"It feels like an intimidation campaign to try to keep the people from being out there," said Neill Seigel, 48, who complained that police violently pulled him off his bike and threw him on the street before arresting him. The judge found him guilty of failing to obey police and fined him $220.
The passion for their movement is still there, many protesters say. But the reality of the courts has dampened some fires.
Marjorie Hoover, 21, stuck through seven months of hearings before receiving a $220 fine. She said she thought if protesters fought long and hard enough, the prosecution just might back down.
"We were thinking they would get tired of wasting time," Hoover said. "And I think the opposite has happened: They've just exhausted us."

Inspirational writer SARK - "a recovering procrastinator and perfectionist with a short attention span" - says 5 minute micro-movements are the only way she reaches her goals.
All of my 11 published books, posters, cards and company exist due to many thousands and thousands of micromovements all strung together. I think of the micromovements as tiny colored beads that have helped me be someone who lives in her dreams instead of talking about them.
And when SARK says micro, she means micro. Like, instead of deciding to clean out the closet, commit to "Thursday, 10AM, Open the door to the closet." Then, on Friday, move onto "Take out 5 pairs of shoes and look at them." I've been a sucker for SARK's colorful, childlike approach to life for a long time (I own many of her books) and I just love the micromovement approach to the classic todo list.

An incredible, precedent-resetting manifesto from the Californian extreme rap crew.
Paul Lester 2012
Even given the stellar company – Odd Future, The Weeknd, A$AP Rocky et al – Death Grips stood out in hip hop circles in 2011. Vocalist Stefan Burnett, aka MC Ride, and the production team of Andy Morin (under the alias Flatlander) and Zach Hill, the drummer for Hella, actually didn’t so much stand out as pummel and bludgeon with their debut album/mixtape Exmilitary. It featured the astonishing single Guillotine, accompanied by a video that fully expressed the group’s jittery hyperanxiety and sense of a micro-paramilitary unit holed up in their native Sacramento, not so much waiting for the bomb to drop as assuming that it already has.
Talking of bombs... On this, the first of two albums due for release this year, Death Grips achieve the density and intensity of several Bomb Squads, Public Enemy’s famous production wing. The Money Store may be their first recording since signing to Sony, but it hardly betrays signs of softening before their new paymasters. If anything, what they lose in sonic impact you gain in range: Hill and Morin seem to invent new rhythms and textures on each track.
Opener Get Got is madly inventive and crammed with ideas; it's art rap masquerading as aural thuggery. Like most everything here, it will stun even those familiar with the more far-out output of the Def Jux label, a crushed collision of extreme electronica, industrial and metal: imagine Throbbing Gristle in a grinder with Tricky, Slayer and El-P. Dubstep, ghetto tech, juke, punk and, oddly, synth-pop are also part of Death Grips’ aural maelstrom: I’ve Seen Footage is like some long-lost Gary Numan hit from a distant planet where Are ‘Friends’ Electric? became the pop blueprint over Love Me Do, while The Cage evokes the dystopian futurescapes conjured by the early Human League.
Sometimes they synthesise new hybrids. What is that sound on Lost Boys? Avant-dancehall? Industrial slowcore? As for the words, it's tricky making them out, but given the context it's hard not to conclude that there is an overall dissatisfaction with the status quo, a sort of disgust fetishism and biblical bile as MC Ride declaims as though from a pulpit within a church in flames. Death Grips invite such fanciful, apocalyptic extrapolations.
F*** That encapsulates DG’s worldview, and their language of dissent and alienation. With their siege mentality, they are arguably a new paradigm, obviously oblivious to the usual trappings of rap, a grievous counter to the culture of consumerism and acquisition. The track System Blower is well titled: it, like so much around it, threatens to blow your speakers with every maximalist second. Bring the noise? It’s already here.

A busy time in the tea fields of Shizuoka, with plenty of delicious tea being picked
Genmaicha green tea comes from gardens in the coastal region of Shizuoka in the shadow of Mt Fuji and it relies on a tea refiner, Mr Wada, to oversee its final stages of production. Read on to find out why tea refiners only exist in Japan and why we selected a rice called 'Mochi Gome' to go with Wada’s spring green bancha tea.
The tea gardens of Shizuoka in the shadow of the great Mt Fuji.
Origin: Abe River Garden, Shizuoka, Japan
Cultivar: Camellia sinensis var. sinensis ‘Yabukita’
Name: Genmaicha (玄米茶) literally Brown Rice Tea
Style: A blend of steamed bancha green tea with toasted and popped rice
Terroir: Grown by the banks of the Abe river in Japan, the terroir is rich and fertile with a seasonally temperate climate.
Picking Season: Late spring 2019
Leaf: White popped rice kernels floating on toasted brown rice and dark green tea leaves
Infusion: A refined and bright yellow-green shade.
What kind of tea does Shizuoka produce?
Rising from the Akaishi mountains, the Abe River flows down through the heart of Shizuoka, stretching to the Pacific Ocean and providing a large fresh water source for the entire prefecture. Abe River feeds the rolling hills that elevate from its banks, making them a great spot for tea gardens to thrive. This area is known for producing green tea in the traditional Japanese style, which means that after picking, the greenness of the leaves is locked in through steaming (this is different to the Chinese style where the leaves are fixed by either baking or frying). The steaming works to bring out the deep umami character of the Yabukita cultivar. This cultivar is prized in Shizuoka for being first cultivated in the region and now makes up 90% of the tea bushes grown here. The cultivar delivers a resistance to the frosty winter weather during the dormant months and a high yield in the spring, and perhaps most importantly, it works with the Shizuoka soils, climate and ways of tea making to create plenty of umami character.
Although a relatively low elevation for tea, the temperate climate and cooling, costal breeze provide a great environment for the tea plants, with production happening through spring and summer. As with most high quality tea growing regions, the spring picking is the most prized. The youngest leaves have the freshness of the season and the cooler spring days so that they grow slower than in summer and have longer to develop their umami character and refinement.
How did we source this batch of Genmaicha and who made it?
This batch of Genmaicha was produced by tea master Hiromi Wada in late spring 2019. Wada’s role is known as the Tea Refiner in Japan. It is a position unique to the Japanese tea industry – needed because of the styles of tea that are produced and because of the mechanisation and automation of the industry. Mechanisation began during the Meiji era (in the late 19th Century) which saw much of the country industrialise. Machines for picking, rolling, shaping, grading and sorting were all introduced and since then have themselves been refined so that experienced tea producers and refiners, such as Mr Wada can work with them to produce incredibly consistent and high quality tea. At the refinery, Mr Wada processes what is called ‘aracha’, meaning crude or unrefined tea which is partially processed; having been steamed and semi-dried at the tea garden. The aracha will still contain lots of larger leaves, stems and broken pieces, so the refiner will control the process of sifting and sorting it into various grades, before a final heat drying stage creates the finished tea ready for blending. Our relationship with Mr Wada means that the tea we select can be finished and then blended to our exact specifications.
Knowing that we wanted to create a Genmaicha that found the sweet spot of being both refreshing and warming, and where the combination of spring and autumn flavours work to enhance each other rather than detract, we knew we needed to find a high quality green tea base. The leaves used in this Genmaicha were harvested in the spring, around mid-May. As is typical of green tea production, they are steamed to stop any oxidation and fix them in their green state (this also deepens their umami flavour). They are then rolled to reduce any moisture and dried. At this point the leaves are often graded, with the coarser or older ‘bancha’ leaves being used for Genmaicha. These leaves have plenty of richness and flavour but are either not fine enough or tightly twisted to be considered for sencha.
We've seen that Genmaicha can often have up to 70% rice – done either to cheaply pad out the tea or mask the flavour of low quality bancha. When we were working with Wada to create our blend, he refined the bancha to a grade that delivered umami richness and a sweet finish, which works with a much more balanced 50% rice to 50% green tea ratio. Wanting the rice to enhance but not compete with the sweetness of the tea, we selected mochi gome glutinous rice, which is typically used to make sweet mochi cakes and sticky rice. It’s been toasted until it turns brown and sometimes even pops. When blended with the bancha green tea, the mochi gome gives a sweet and toasty popcorn flavour that picks up on the tea’s sweetness and importantly balances the tea’s vegetal umami – or savouriness – giving that juxtaposition of sweet and savoury; warming and refreshing.
What is this batch of Genmaicha like to drink?
Before I sat down to write this, it had been a while since I’d had a cup of Genmaicha. I lean towards it in the cooler weather, drinking lighter green teas like Dragon Well or Sencha in the summer. Getting that first scent of sweet popcorn and rich, toasted aroma from the wet leaves I was immediately reminded how enticing this tea is. The flavour of the infusion has lots of grass and umami. Its sweetness comes mostly from the balance of the sweet finish in the tea and the toasted flavour from the popped brown rice. I can pick out a sesame oil note too – perhaps it’s there or perhaps I’m being reminded of this tea’s place in Japan, on a table alongside rich bowls of oily noodles. The infusion feels thick and soft when I drink it, it gives a comforting, easy-going drinking experience with delicious umami and plenty of warmth.
Where and when is this tea for?
The toasted sweetness makes this a very accessible green tea. It’s a versatile tea too – I enjoy it’s flavours across a full day. It’s rich and tasty enough to go well with breakfast (the toasted rice flavours even hint towards cereal) and the green tea does enough to give you a pleasant, refreshing lift. It’s also great for a late morning or afternoon break as the flavours would pair equally well with lots of savoury snacky foods like nuts, or even a piece of dark chocolate.
What is it like to make and how easy is it to get a good taste?
Single Serve, One Cup Method using 250ml teapot and cup:
This is such an easy tea to get right! It’s one of very few green teas which needs 90 degree water. We want the heat from the water to bring out the body from the tea as this will carry the sweet, toasted rice flavour. You’ll get warmth from the toasted rice, as well as enough richness and umami from the bancha green tea. It's super simple – add the leaves to your pot with a dash of cold water, then top up with boiling water. Remember, after three minutes, always pour out the whole infusion into your favourite cup – “Don’t forget the golden drops” as the Miyazaki’s reminded us!
This is our go-to method: 4g per 250ml; 90˚C; 3 minutes per infusion (can be re-infused once)
The deep green tea leaves and toasted mochi gome rice of our Genmaicha
This warming, bright infusion is really easy to make well, try it for yourself
Who is Genmaicha for?
I think this tea would be a great place to start for anyone who wants the refreshment of green tea, but might have found other green teas like Jade Sword or Sencha too grassy or vegetal. With Genmaicha, you get refreshment from the green tea flavour, but the warmth and sweetness from the toasted rice. It’s also a tea for green tea lovers who want something with warmth in the cooler months.

We here at Field Gulls are currently embroiled in a Writers' Mock (PART I, PART II), where the twelve of us have been respectively tasked with making each selection and providing something resembling logic and reason behind each pick. In the scenario that we created, North Carolina G Jonathan Cooper was still on the board at #25, and Kenny and I evidently presented a case for selecting him that proved convincing enough that he won the fan vote and became the Seahawks' first-round selection for this pre-Combine Mock Draft.
The only problem with this is that I don't actually think that Cooper will make it to 25, so perhaps the argument we presented was moot. Even if he does make it to 25, do the Seahawks want to spend another first-round pick on an offensive lineman? Maybe not! Regardless, I do still believe that offensive line is a positional group that Seattle will look to bolster in this upcoming draft, but instead of focusing on early-round players that I like, like OTs D.J. Fluker and Menelik Watson, and OGs Jonathan Cooper and Larry Warford, let's sit back and create a different scenario, a scenario that sees Seattle target the mid-rounds or late-rounds to add depth and talent to their ever-important offensive line positional group.
I've got a few more guys in mind that may be of interest: I like North Carolina's Brennan Williams, a guy that Jared pointed out on Saturday, Wake Forest OG Omoregie Uzzi, James Madison OG Earl Watford, North Carolina OG Travis Bond (h/t to Jared again), San Jose State's David Quessenberry, Arkansas-Pine Bluff's Terron Armstead & Louisiana Tech's Jordan Mills, but another guy that I added to my short list last night is:
OT Vinston Painter, Virginia Tech
I actually don't quite understand why this guy hasn't gotten more press in the draft scouting community because when I sat down and watched tape from three or four games last night, I came away very impressed. The measureables and eye test are the first things that pop out at you though -- 6'6, 310 pounds, long, sinewy arms with a strong, muscular base. Reading more on Painter, I discovered that he originally played DT for Virginia Tech early in his career, then switched to the offensive side of the football, playing at both guard and tackle. Ok, now I'm intrigued.
Further research showed he tested out with a 30-inch vertical, 4.72 time in the 40, 430 pound bench press, 336 pound power clean, and an absurd 500 pound front squat. That 40 time is probably not all too accurate, but as I said earlier this morning - anything under 5.0 seconds and you're talking about an athletic lineman that can 'move and create violence,' as Tom Cable so aptly puts it.
Back to my first thought when I saw Painter: 'This guy looks just like a poor-man's Menelik Watson.' He's big, smooth, yoked up, and has the frame to add a little weight, if that's what a coaching staff wanted. Here's a picture of Painter prior to last season LINK.
Of course, Watson is being projected as a high-second to late-first round player, but for Painter, according to everything (read: nothing) I saw, he's being projected as a UDFA. I literally couldn't find one scouting report on him. Regardless, Painter was honorable mention All-ACC (voted by coaches), started 13 games for the Hokies in 2012, and may just be worth a look in the mid- to late-rounds for the Seahawks. If he goes undrafted, if I'm John Schneider, I would personally write him a letter persuading him to come to Seattle,.
Take a look at some tape. Painter is at Right Tackle, #71. Obviously, the box highlights other players (Clemson DE Malliciah Goodman to start), but keep your eyes on the right tackle. The guy keeping Goodman from doing pretty much anything.
Painter has a smooth kick-step at the snap and mirrors pass rushers very well. In the run game, he fires off at the snap quickly to engage his block, and more often than not, maintains his block at the point of attack until the runner has gone by. In the games that I watched last night, I didn't see him get straight beat to the quarterback to the outside in pass pro one time.
Now of course, to avoid hyperbole, he's no where near a perfect prospect: I did see him overextend himself at times -- you'll see him reach for a defender, bend too much at the waist, allowing the defensive end or linebacker the ability to swim-move counter underneath him and into the pocket. The majority of the times I saw this, the play was going in the opposite direction, and thus was fairly inconsequential, but it's a concern nonetheless. I do think that he uses his arm length well in spurts to keep opposing defenders away from his body - a skill that can be coached up - and against the absurdly long-armed Goodwin above, he holds his own in keeping himself clean and holding onto his blocks.
I like how light on his feet he looks -- he's a lean 6'6 with long arms, and that ability to mirror on the edge and push pass rushers out of the pocket as they overplay is important for a RT in any scheme. His mobility in this Seattle scheme though, is even more important. The Seahawks don't pull a whole hell of a lot - but they do at times (and the read-option stuff does tend to require more movement up front from the offensive line), and his ability to get up out of his stance and move downfield will be a plus.
Much like Menelik Watson though, he does look lost on the 2nd level, often missing on blocks and getting turned around, but of all skills necessary for the job, this feels like a coachable aspect. At least, Painter needs work when it comes to second-level blocking and target acquisition.
The reason I can see him in Seattle is that they like to move their right tackle laterally at the snap in their zone stretch schemes, either doubling down on a defensive tackle, leading the way right to create cutback lines, or stretching outside to extend the pocket like an accordion in pass protection. An ability to move around is key. Painter's footwork is strong, and when he stays balanced, he's hard to move off of his spot. I never saw him get bullrushed, and yet he's light enough on his feet to move around to protect Logon Thomas, who like Russell Wilson, likes to get outside the pocket and improvise.
Painter is not a complete prospect, obviously. I don't project him to be a year-one starter, but given the Seahawks' scheme, I think he could be developed as a longer-term replacement for Breno Giacomini at RT, or a longer-term swing tackle that could provide some depth. He has a Combine invite, so he'll be one player that I'm watching closely this week. If he runs a sub-5.0 forty and puts up solid workout numbers, we might see his perceived stock rise a bit in the coming months.

If there's one thing all big sisters know to be true it's that if someone messes with your sib, you're going to go 50 kinds of crazy on their face. And when it comes to her sis, Bella, Gigi Hadid is right there with you!
She recently said in an interview with British VOGUE that if someone was mean to Bella "it's like the end of [their] life pretty much." She went on to tell the story of how she almost laid the smackdown on a photographer who was taking pictures of Bella while she was changing (UM EW).
"Backstage at a show in Paris for some reason they let photographers take pictures while girls were changing, which just pisses me off," she said. "My sister's changing next to me and I was like, 'If you don't put that camera away and stop shooting my sister, I'm going to come over there, I'm going to take that camera, and throw it on the floor!'"
The world needs more Gigi Hadids, amiright?

By Jorge Otaola
BUENOS AIRES (Reuters) - Dozens of relatives of the 44 crew members of an Argentine submarine that went missing on November 15 marched from a naval base on Sunday, demanding to know what happened and criticising the government's response to the tragedy.
Holding posters with photos of the crew and chanting "Search and Rescue!" the family members walked away from a naval base in Mar del Plata, following a press conference during which the navy said the submarine had still not been located.
The disaster has spurred soul searching over the state of the military in Argentina, which now has one of Latin America's smallest defence budgets in relation to economic size after a series of financial crises.
"Our disagreement is with the government, not with the navy," said Marcela Moyano, wife of crew member Hernán Rodríguez, during the protest. "Whoever is responsible needs to be held responsible."
Spokesman Enrique Balbi said on Thursday the navy had abandoned hope of rescuing the crew alive, noting the ARA San Juan had air supplies for a week while 15 days had passed since it last reported its position.
Some family members complained they were not advised before the general public of the end of the rescue mission and have also demanded more contact with President Mauricio Macri in Mar del Plata, where the San Juan was scheduled to end its journey.
While local media have speculated Macri will soon declare a period of national mourning for the submarine crew, he has been silent in recent days.
"He (Macri) needs to be here because this is the priority, there are 44 families behind this situation and someone has to be in charge," said Marcela Fernández, wife of Alberto Sánchez.
Macri's defence minister met with families in Mar del Plata on Friday.
Balbi said on Saturday an object that was being reviewed by a Russian unmanned remotely operated vehicle in the South Atlantic had turned out not to be the submarine. The government has pledged to continue the search with foreign assistance.
The navy said on Nov. 27 that water that entered the submarine's snorkel caused its battery to short-circuit before it went missing. The navy had previously said international organizations detected a noise that could have been the submarine's implosion the same day contact was lost.

While scouring boxes hidden in the National Archives, historians have stumbled across a report from the first doctor to rush to Abraham Lincoln’s side as he lay bleeding in his box at Ford’s Theater.
The document, discovered last month tucked away in a file of medical reports, is probably the earliest firsthand account of the assassination of Lincoln by actor John Wilkes Booth on April 14, 1865. Before it was unearthed by Helena Iles Papaioannou, a researcher for the Papers of Abraham Lincoln project, it’s believed that no one had seen it for nearly 147 years. The organization says it plans to digitize the report for release.
(MORE: Portraits of Abraham Lincoln)
Its author, Dr. Charles Leale, was an Army surgeon sitting just 40 feet from President that evening. When he saw Booth jump on stage, he suspected something was immediately wrong and rushed to Lincoln’s side. The report details what Leale found when he came to the president’s aid:
I commenced to examine his head (as no wound near the shoulder was found) and soon passed my fingers over a large firm clot of blood situated about one inch below the superior curved line of the occipital bone. The coagula I easily removed and passed the little finger of my left hand through the perfectly smooth opening made by the ball.
Though Leale was only 23 years old when the incident happened, according to health professionals and historians, he did everything correctly. “When Dr. Leale got into the president’s box, Lincoln was technically dead,” Dr. Blaine Houmes, an emergency room specialist, told the Associated Press. “He was able to regain a pulse and get breathing started again. He basically saved Lincoln’s life, even though he didn’t survive the wound.”

There has been scrutiny over Lincoln’s treatment after suffering a gunshot wound for Wilkes. Even certain details, like how Leale resuscitated the fallen president, are still a subject of debate. Modern trauma treatment was not yet available and Lincoln’s chances of surviving the bullet were slim.
“[You can sense] the helplessness of the doctors,” Daniel Stowell, director of the Papers of Abraham Lincoln, summed up in an interview. [Leale] doesn’t say that but you can feel it.”

Do you cohabit with another person you consider your husband or wife, even though you aren’t legally married? If the other party also considers you to be his or her spouse, you are in a common-law marriage. Common-law marriages are legally recognized, and you can obtain a divorce if you’re ready for the relationship to end. However, the divorce process isn’t nearly as straightforward since you don’t have legal marriage documents.
Our Golden, CO, common-law marriage lawyer is experienced in these relationships. We can gather evidence to prove the marriage and then negotiate or litigate the divorce. We can also help you determine if you’re eligible for child support, alimony, and more. Contact us for a free consultation today.
Common-law marriage has been legal in Colorado since 1877, and the requirements are fundamental. Your relationship is recognized as a common-law marriage if both parties:
“very professional and worth every penny,” “incredibly professional and delivered documents in a timely manner,” “highly recommend working with Marie and her team,” “attentive, professional, and extremely competent in dealing with my unique situation,” “outstanding experience,” “very professional and looked for out of the box ways to help me with my case,” “professional, upbeat, responsible, and a pleasure to work,” “always felt she had my best interest at heart,” “very thorough and considerate of my needs, and listened very well to represent me,” “highly recommend and the firm got the work done in a timely fashion,” “kind, reasonable, and a pleasure to work with,”, “Marie is a blessing,” “ very responsive and is always there when I need her most,”
