He had urgent news from the manager of the northern territories: Commander warhamma (house Equinox) conquered a solar system from Councilor of the House michimike (house AustrianAlliance) (destroyed combat power: 12). "Sir, we lost a solar system to a house we are not at war with. Should we accept this attack as a declaration of war?" Michimike just awaked: "If proxynick is too cowardly to do it, I will do. Please announce a new war for me: we are now at war with Equinox! I don't tolerate any unheralded planet attacks anymore!" The director left the bedroom and went directly into his office to announce the incidence and michimikes answer. After michimike had washed his face, he started to prepair for the new war. Back to top GinerGuest Posted: Sat Dec 09, 2006 07:48 Post subject: Giner read what had been put in front of him and started to write. Dear Michimike, I understand you are angry at this attacking of your planet but do not blame proxynick as he has not been the aggressor and it was warhamma with his own will. I think that you should urge proxynick to declare him a pirate and go hunting. Greetings Giner Giner sent this off to the technical room to be sent to michimike. Back to top michimikeGuest Posted: Sat Dec 09, 2006 08:32 Post subject: Giner was right, thought michimike. What Giner did not know was, that michimike already sent a private message to proxynick to clear further details and to mabye come to a peaceful resolution. Back to top ZayNGuest Posted: Sat Dec 09, 2006 11:06 Post subject: blanka was wondering that michimike declares a war just for a attacked solar system. Is he so chippy that he answers every eventually mistake with bellicosity...? Back to top michimikeGuest Posted: Sat Dec 09, 2006 13:39 Post subject: Other protests and questions arrived at michimikes communication office. Especially the one from the honourful and great imperator blanka was to be answered by an official announcment: Of course it is not my standard way to declare war to each player, who attacks my planets. For example Tarkin a week ago: I wrote him a privat message and we came to a friendly agreement, that he would not attack any more planets. But some things are different now: at first I'm now in a dangerous situation in a new big alliance and I have to stabilise this position. So if someone like this minor imperator of Equinox attacks one of my planets, I have to show the galaxy by the example of the declaration of war to this house, that I'm not a target you can play with. My planets are spread over large areas in this galaxy and I have to defend them all. And the diplomatic way of fear is the most efficient way. If I would not do anything, I would easily lose many more planets to many other different imperators, although they all just attack 1, but in total it is a deep pain for me. And the second cause, why I declare this war as fast as that, was, that Equinox was part of Nobulon under the leadership of urza333, who made sure some frictions in the confederacy. Since I am an ally of Ragdoll, who shot down Nobula, I am in danger to be attacked by the remainings of Nobulon - maybe I am not in fact, but I fear to be and have to decide for strict methods.

But these are just words - where is the action behind? I can speak to a wild animal to make it having fear but nevertheless it will attack and kill me unless I attempt to attack it first." "Very wise spoken, my Lord. We shall wait and see what follows." "We will, my Consultant, we will..." >>>End of transmission<<< Back to top CarboneaterGuest Posted: Sat Dec 09, 2006 17:28 Post subject: Open Subspace Transmission: Not being near Michimike doesn't mean we're safe. Myself, being near the area of another member of that confederacy, I'm wondering if all of the other members of it are as instable as its leader. I say, every one near them, secure your positions before try to destroy you in a panic attack. End of Transmission.

Back to top CarboneaterGuest Posted: Sun Dec 10, 2006 20:47 Post subject: It's not the fact that you defend your house. It's the fact that you declare war for a single lost planet, in order to use it as an example for future ones who'd like to do it too. And also declare war because you may be in danger in the future for past actions. Just this repression, if successful, may be considered as an act of tyranny.

He entered a room, which couldn't be more beautiful as it was, he saluted and started to report: "My lady, I have bad news for you. Our loyal friend michimike lost two solar systems to an unknown evil imperator". Marion asked for the names of the solar systems. It was Croefu and Zemhu. Marion was scared and in her face you could read her dolours. Marion spent a lot of time in her adolescence on the grassy hills of Croefu and in the beautiful cities of Zemhu. She asked: "Who had done this outrage?" It was the house of Equinox. "Equinox!", Marion shouted. "Yes", the servant agreed low. "This was the last outrage, this house had done!", said Marion, "they already helped this betrayer urza in past and now it is enough!" Marion called the generals together and let concentrate her troops. Then she appeared before her people and announced: "My beloved nation, today is a doleful day. Our friends had bad losses, but we will revenge it! I told the fleet to destroy the house Equinox! In this moment our capital ships and the elite troops of the Royal Goliaths of Neozlick start their engines and set course on the warplanet of the leader of Equiniox! We will burst this doomed house, because they already made the mistake in past to help urza and now they pay for their mistakes. I adviced my generals to bring me imperator proxynick so we can take him to the court of justice. He will learn to know the strenght of Neozlick and I will judge him!" Back to top ZayNGuest Posted: Tue Dec 12, 2006 15:50 Post subject: blanka was very shocked to read about declarations of war with unacceptable reasons! If it is the diplomacy of fear, which the confederacy wants to spread for suppressing their enemies, it is quite obviously, that the peace in the galaxie is broken. blanka was wondering... What would be if I declare a war to the old friend michimike just because he is declaring war to the NAT-partner of my best ally and consequentially to the whole confederacy, cuz michimike is their officiell announcer? What would be if the house Kesh joins this galaxie-war with the simple reason for fighting against the fear, which will be spread from the confederacy? Why should Kesh be awed from humans they don't know? "Gardan!" blanka called his first commandant to him for discussing what they could do in this big war. The confederacy is on their way to suppress peaceful imperators just with the intention to start a war. "Sir, I have the opinion, that we should look what will happen. We cannot turn into it so fast. If we want to get a clear point, we must contact every spy which we can call a loyal member of this network of spies. I will contact our Supai for getting more information that we already have." blanka listened to the explenation of Gardan, he was right... "Be fast... lunatic imperators are declaring war with the simple reason, that their friends lost two planets, which they visit some times before..." Gardan went out of blanka's room and started the preparations...Last edited by ZayN on Wed Dec 13, 2006 02:12; edited 1 time in total Back to top Display posts from previous: All Posts1 Day7 Days2 Weeks1 Month3 Months6 Months1 Year Oldest FirstNewest First Kosmor Forum Index -> Kosmor RPG All times are GMT - 6 HoursGoto page 1, 2 Next Page 1 of 2 Jump to: Select a forum Information----------------NewsGalactic News Community----------------Kosmor TalkKosmor TradeKosmor TournamentsKosmor RPG Support/Feedback----------------Questions and AnswersFeedback / suggestions for improvementBug-Reports You cannot post new topics in this forumYou cannot reply to topics in this forumYou cannot edit your posts in this forumYou cannot delete your posts in this forumYou cannot vote in polls in this forum Powered by phpBB © 2001, 2002 phpBB Group

Charleston, Ill. -- Junior Kendall Hooper registered two hits, including a homerun, as the Tennessee Tech softball team was swept by the Ohio Valley Conference leader Eastern Illinois Sunday afternoon at Williams Field by scores of 6-1 and 4-1. The Golden Eagles are now 19-25, 8-10 OVC while the Panthers remain perfect at home and improve to 32-11, 19-2 OVC.
Taylor Ketchum (13-10) was charged with the loss in game one. The sophomore gave up a triple and a double in the first before finally calming into a rhythm. The Golden Eagles trailed 2-0, but Ketchum retired the next six of eight batters she faced.
In the fourth inning, Ketchum continued to roll, relying on the Golden Eagles defense to help her through the inning. Brittney Spalding threw out the first batter, and senior Melody Christian caught a tough ball in left-center to give Tech the two out advantage.
The Panthers mustered back-to-back singles, while a walk loaded the bases. With a full count, EIU's Carly Willert sent a double to right-center allowing all three Panthers to score. Willert scored on a wild pitch by Ketchum, giving Eastern Illinois a 6-0 lead. Erica Tuck took the circle, and ended the inning two batters later. Tuck finished the game giving up three hits and fended off more Panther runs in the sixth inning.
Tech was held hitless through the sixth inning off of EIU's reigning three-time adidas OVC player of the week Hanna Mennenga. Senior Chanelle Spalding got Tech's only hit of the first game in the sixth off of a single up the middle. Earlier in the inning Christian reached on a short stop error and was driven home by Spalding for the Golden Eagles lone run.
Claudia Harke (5-9) took the circle for the second game, and gave a strong performance holding the Panthers to one hit through the fifth inning. EIU scored four runs in the bottom of the fifth thanks to back-to-back triples by Melise Brown and Willert.
The Golden Eagles turned more hits in the two innings than the previous game but still came up short as four players wearing Purple and Gold found themselves stranded at the end of the first, second and fourth innings. Christian, Hooper and Chelsea Burgess all had singles. Hooper's big hit of the game came in the seventh inning when the junior hit her long drive over the centerfield fence.
Tech returns to action Wednesday in a makeup doubleheader at Morehead State. The games are scheduled for 1 pm and 3 pm CDT. The games will be crucial for both teams as both currently sit on the bubble to make the tournament field.

HOOVER — Southeastern Conference Commissioner Mike Slive said a recent report criticizing Penn State's handling of sexual abuse allegations serves as a stark reminder to schools and athletic programs nationwide.
HOOVER — Southeastern Conference Commissioner Mike Slive said a recent report criticizing Penn State's handling of sexual abuse allegations serves as a stark reminder to schools and athletic programs nationwide that they can't let one individual "derail the soul of an institution."
Slive briefly but pointedly referenced last week's report by a special investigator in his opening address at SEC media days Tuesday.
"We must maintain an honest and open dialogue across all levels of university administration," Slive said. "There must be an effective system of checks and balances within the administrative structure to protect all who come in contact with it, especially those who cannot protect themselves.
"No one program, no one person — no matter how popular, no matter how successful — can be allowed to derail the soul of an institution."
He didn't mention Penn State, late coach Joe Paterno or longtime assistant Jerry Sandusky by name but acknowledged the scandal has left university and athletic officials across the nation sensitive to the issue. The report by special investigator Louis Freeh, a former FBI director, found that Paterno and other top Penn State administrators hid Sandusky's abuse of children to avoid negative publicity against the university.
After his speech, Slive elaborated on the intentions behind his remarks but demurred when asked how or whether the NCAA should punish Penn State.
"I was talking about how we all manage intercollegiate athletics as part of the mission of the institution," he said. "In essence, what happened there is something that in a horrific way reminds us that athletics has a proper place in the context of higher education and we need to be ever-vigilant — all of us — to make sure we keep that perspective."
Slive presides over a league that has captured the last six football national titles in a college football-crazed South. He dismissed any notion that the region's culture makes SEC schools any more susceptible to issues with football's role.
"We all need to be vigilant," he said. "We have very active presidents and chancellors in the policies within the conference. The important thing is that our athletic programs are operated within the context of higher education and the context of our schools' missions."
He noted that the presidents themselves meet regularly, allowing them to discuss both athletics and university-wide issues.
Slive also used his address to emphasize the progress in hiring minority coaches since he was hired 10 years ago, when the SEC had never had a black head football coach.
Now, the SEC has three — Texas A&M's Kevin Sumlin, Kentucky's Joker Phillips and Vanderbilt's James Franklin. The league has eight black men's basketball coaches and five more leading women's basketball programs.
Slive pointed to Mississippi State's hiring of Sylvester Croom to break that color barrier in 2004 as a highlight of his tenure.
"It was a moment in time that I will always remember as one of the most significant things that has happened in my tenure and that could happen in my tenure," he said.
And now?
"I am very grateful that the hiring of minority coaches in the Southeastern Conference is no longer a story," he said. "It is simply part of who we are."

Arsenal end trophy drought with FA Cup win
Arsenal ended its nine-year trophy drought on Saturday, coming from two goals...
Brandon Jennings scored a game-high 26 points and Monta Ellis followed with 24 as the Milwaukee Bucks held off a late fourth quarter Brooklyn Nets rally for a 97-88 victory at Barclays Center on Sunday.
Jennings knocked down 4-of-7 from three-point range while Ellis shot an effective 8-of-13 overall from the field in the Bucks second straight win. Marquis Daniels totaled 13 points and seven rebounds.
Brooklyn lost its fourth consecutive game and has won just once since starting center Brook Lopez went down with a foot injury. Gerald Wallace and Deron Williams helped fuel a fourth comeback, but the 29-point hole the Nets fell into during the third quarter was too much to overcome.
Wallace posted a double-double with 16 points and 16 rebounds while Williams finished with 18 points and eight assists in defeat.

Nice Wave - I used to surf this break in the 70's before it had a name. I never could find anyone to surf it with me, so I surfed it alone. I only surfed it in the Summertime. Never even looked at it in the winter because there were too many other good breaks like Surfers, Wilderness, Crash Boat, Bridges, etc.

Magic - This wave is magic! You start paddeling on a nice size hump and while you are dropping it starts sucking and growing to more than double of what it started. Huge deep barrels if you know how to manage them. Spot must be glassy or with south winds. Any other wind will make it look like washing machine junk.

The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission's (EEOC) six-year-old systemic discrimination enforcement program is building steam, fueled by more aggressive investigative tactics and litigation strategies that are creating new challenges for employers.
In adopting its 2012-2016 strategic plan in February, the EEOC reiterated its emphasis on systemic cases. Instead of focusing on individual charges of discrimination, the agency is using such claims to launch broad investigations with the goal of uncovering similar cases that can be combined into pattern and practice lawsuits.
As a result of the mandate from Washington, D.C., EEOC field investigators are under pressure to develop systemic cases, says Jennifer Gokenbach, a shareholder at Ogletree Deakins.
"They are looking at each claim and scrutinizing it more closely than in the past to see if there is a systemic discrimination issue," she says.
At the end of the 2011 fiscal year, the EEOC had 580 systemic investigations underway, involving more than 2,000 charges. Although less than 10 percent of the lawsuits it filed in 2011 were systemic cases—23 out of a total of 261—that number seems certain to quickly multiply given the large number of investigations in the pipeline. Prelitigation systemic investigations resulted in settlements yielding $9.6 million in 2011—a substantial jump from
$6.7 million in 2010.
At the very same time, the agency is taking an aggressive approach toward using its subpoena power and testing novel legal theories.
"The bottom line takeaway for employers is that being a defendant in a lawsuit brought by the EEOC today is a very different proposition than it was five years ago—you have a tiger by the tail," says Gerald Maatman, a Seyfarth Shaw partner. "The EEOC is a very aggressive litigant, sometimes with a take-no-prisoners attitude."
Bang for the Buck
From the EEOC's viewpoint, pursuing systemic cases leverages its limited resources to have the maximum impact on workplace discrimination at a time of tight federal budgets. In a press release announcing the strategic plan, the agency said it will develop a new strategic enforcement program to "stop and remedy unlawful employment discrimination" against large numbers of individuals or where the discrimination has a broad impact on an industry, profession, company or geographic area.
The agency clearly recognizes that systemic cases tend to generate headlines due to the size of the settlements or judgments. That makes it easier to obtain settlements from other companies in the same industry and highlights areas of discrimination the agency thinks employers need to address.
For example, in July 2011, the EEOC obtained a $20 million settlement from Verizon in a nationwide disability lawsuit—the largest ever under the Americans With Disabilities Act (ADA). The press release announcing the settlement emphasized the discriminatory impact of rigid attendance policies that fail to accommodate people with disabilities, an area of recent EEOC enforcement focus.
Judicial Push-back
The bright spot for employers is that some courts are taking steps to rein in the EEOC, with notable decisions favoring employers in both federal district courts and circuit courts of appeal within the past year.
"The EEOC is using the tools of law enforcement in a very aggressive way," Maatman says. "They are stretching the envelope, making them exposure laden, and some federal judges aren't liking what is going on."
Two recent appeals court rulings were particularly favorable to employers. The 10th Circuit's Feb. 27 decision in EEOC v. Burlington Northern Santa Fe R.R. Co. slapped down the agency's use of its subpoena power to build a systemic case. The court found the subpoena for nationwide employment records was "not relevant" to a case that initially involved just two claims of disability discrimination, both from employees in Colorado.
Although Gokenbach says the decision gives employers grounds for challenging overly broad subpoenas or requests for information, she cautions that because the ruling involved ADA claims, the EEOC may argue it doesn't apply to cases brought under Title VII.
And although Maatman calls Burlington Northern a "wonderful opinion," he notes other courts have approved broad EEOC subpoenas. "For every victory in limiting the scope of subpoenas, the EEOC can point to another where it was given wide latitude," he says.
In the other recent pro-employer ruling, the 8th Circuit on Feb. 22 affirmed the dismissal of 67 individuals from a hostile work environment lawsuit in EEOC v. CRST Van Expedited Inc. The court said the EEOC failed to meet its statutory obligation to investigate claims of discrimination and engage in bona fide conciliation prior to bringing a lawsuit.
Specifically, during the conciliation process, the EEOC did not provide the employer with the names of the proposed class members or even a general indication of the size of the class. The 8th Circuit agreed that the EEOC's litigation strategy was "untenable" because it forced CRST to litigate a "moving target" of allegedly aggrieved workers.
Maatman calls the decision "a transformative ruling in terms of defense strategy for employers. The key aspect is that during the investigation, the EEOC has to come clean with the employer. The decision says the EEOC can't use a lawsuit to fish for plaintiffs that aren't identified beforehand."
Defense Tools
Seyfarth Shaw Partner Christopher DeGroff says the EEOC's aggressive litigation tactics underscore the need for robust e-discovery and data management capabilities because the agency has seized on the plaintiffs bar tactic of seeking sanctions for e-discovery violations. Additionally, defense attorneys need prompt access to the data to rebut the claims from the outset.
DeGroff also recommends ongoing audits of payroll procedures and hiring, pay and promotion practices to provide an early warning system for potential discrimination claims.
In addition to vigilance in those traditional areas of enforcement, employers must be on alert for practices the EEOC targets for test cases expanding workers' protection, such as the use of criminal background or credit checks during the hiring process, Maatman adds. In January, the agency obtained its first settlement in a case involving criminal background checks, a $3.3 million settlement with Pepsi.
Gokenbach says an employer's policies, training programs and methods for employees to report harassment and discrimination are factors courts consider when making a judgment. "Good faith measures speak volumes in these cases and go a long way in resolving these claims," she says.

While Fashion Week is really the only time when celebrities take a back seat to designers and fashion editors (although some might argue that designers and editors like Karl Lagerfeld and Anna Wintour are celebrities in their own right), this season, all eyes will be on a certain celeb's runway debut, a certain celeb who has been all over the media thanks to her very high profile divorce to a man named Tom Cruise. Not only will everyone be on the watch for Katie Holmes' fashion line, Holmes & Yang, which she co-designed with stylist and friend Jeanne Yang, it just so happens that Katie will be showing her collection the same day her ex-bestie, Victoria Beckham, shows hers. While Victoria is already considered an established designer and probably won't even concern herself with Katie's debut, the comparisons will be more than likely, and even more so, set to make Katie a nervous newbie. Which begs the most important question: What is Holmes & Yang? Described by Katie in an interview with Style.com as "comfortable clothes that you can wear going from a meeting to being a mom to going on a date." Followed by the luxe explanation, "Everything in the collection is lined in silk and no expense is spared," it's safe to assume that the label falls under the casual-luxe category.
The idea for the clothing line came about in 2009 when Holmes and Yang bonded over a pair of pants and decided there weren't enough luxurious/expensive staples out on the market. (The duo apparently hadn't hear about The Row, you know, that other really expensive line that sells luxury staples.) Regarding the clothing line's inception, Holmes told WWD, "We both love fashion and we both like to sew, although we don't do the sewing [for Holmes & Yang]…We thought that it might be interesting to create a line. We also thought it was important that we make things here in the U.S." While it's very considerate that Holmes & Yang thought about the everyday woman when creating their line, "The collection which is priced at retail from $325 for a silk camisole to $2,500 for suede jackets, though a lace and leather gown retails for $9,100," is definitely not considered in the affordable range. (WWD)
The then hush-hush Holmes & Yang line debuted to L.A.'s fashion set at Maxfields, where the label was initially exclusively sold, resulting in solid reviews. Style.com reported, "The collection, done in a palette of cream, navy, and black, features luxe shirts and trousers; textured silk jumpsuits; motorcycle jackets; leather, silk-lined blazers; and ruched strapless dresses worthy of the red carpet." Not bad, huh? Two years later, that high-end line started selling exclusively at Barneys, which now carries the label's full line, including its Fall 2012 collection.
Holmes who has test driven a few pieces from the label on the red carpet (back during her days as Mrs. Cruise) is now known to be out and about wearing a piece or a whole ensemble from her line, whether it's to take Suri to the park or to have a meeting with her divorce attorney. In fact, for her recent Elle cover, Katie wore several pieces from Holmes & Yang, including a leather bustier top and stretch wool skinny pants. How Victoria Beckham of her. While there is no word as to what the Spring 2012 collection will look like or what we can expect from Ms. Holmes' runway debut, one thing is for sure, everyone will be watching.

Rutherford B. Hayes marries Lucy Webb
On this day in 1852, Rutherford B. Hayes marries Lucy Webb, a gregarious, devout Methodist from his home state of Ohio. She was 24 and he was 33.
According to the National First Ladies Library, Lucy met Rutherford when she was only 14, but the two did not start courting until she was in college. In 1850, she graduated with honors from Wesleyan Female College in Cincinnati, Ohio, and delivered a speech at her commencement entitled "The Influence of Christianity on National Prosperity." After an engagement of a year and a half, the two were married in her mother's home in Chillicothe, Ohio. The couple had eight children, though two of their sons died in early childhood.
During the Civil War, while her husband served in Ohio's 23rd Infantry regiment–at 40 he was considered to be an "old man" by the younger soldiers–Lucy volunteered to help out in hospitals, where she saw first-hand the horrors of war. Rutherford's fellow soldiers called her the "Mother of the Regiment" for her kindness and nurturing care. Her Civil War work inspired her future activism for reforms in mental health, orphanages and homelessness. Lucy was also an effective campaigner in Hayes' successful bid for the White House in 1876.
The very popular Lucy Hayes was the first wife of a president to be referred to as "first lady"–a title that grew out of her husband's reference to her as the "first lady of the land." Lucy was an abolitionist and supported, in theory at least, the early women's suffrage movement. She was often criticized for not taking a more active role in promoting women's suffrage and while she and Rutherford were both believers in the temperance movement, it was her husband's idea–not hers as legend has it–to forbid serving alcohol in the White House. Lucy allowed White House servants to take time off to pursue their education and commissioned paintings of the presidents who had not yet had portraits hung in the White House. She also had a portrait of Martha Washington created to hang next to George Washington's.
After Hayes retired from politics (he served only one term from 1877 to 1881), he and Lucy moved back to their home in Spiegel Grove, Ohio. She died from a stroke in 1889, five years before the death of her husband.

The FBI Are Looking Into Brad Pitt Child Abuse Allegations
Allegations Brad Pitt was abusive on a private plane last week relate to the actor's treatment of his 15-year-old son, sources say, as the FBI continues to gather information before determining whether to open an investigation.
FBI spokeswoman Laura Eimiller said the agency hasn't made a decision on a formal investigation into what occurred on a plane ferrying Pitt, his wife Angelina Jolie Pitt and their six children.
Several news outlets have reported that a child welfare agency in Los Angeles is investigating the wellbeing of the children, who range in ages from 8 to 15.
Sources familiar with the allegations say the child welfare investigation centres on Pitt's conduct towards his son Maddox, 15, during an argument on the September 14 flight.
No law enforcement agency responded to the plane when it landed in Minnesota after the incident.
Amara Suarez, a spokeswoman for the Los Angeles County Department of Children and Family Services, said the agency could not confirm whether it was investigating Pitt or the wellbeing of the former couple's children.
Jolie Pitt filed for divorce on Monday and her lawyer released a statement the following day saying she came to the decision "for the health of the family".
She listed their separation date as September 15, the day after the alleged plane incident, and the actress is seeking sole custody of all six of the children.
Pitt and Jolie Pitt - known as "Brangelina'" - were together for 12 years but only wed in August 2014.
Their six children include 15-year-old Maddox, 12-year-old Pax, 11-year-old Zahara, 10-year-old Shiloh, and 8-year-old twins Knox and Vivienne.
This is the second marriage for Pitt, 52, who was previously wed Jennifer Aniston.
It's the third for Jolie Pitt, 41, who was previously married to Billy Bob Thornton and Jonny Lee Miller.

Last month I posted about my recent journey of getting in shape and dropping the pounds I gained since my small intestine started to heal after being diagnosed in 2008. Did you know that depending on the amount of damage in your small intestine it could take anywhere from several months to up to three years to heal completely? Neither did I until I was reading articles for my research on project about celiac disease vs. wheat allergy. You learn a whole lot of thinks when reading research articles I tell ya.
For my anatomy and physiology class I had to write an article review so I decided to pick an article on fibromyalgia because I suffer from that as well. The article was all about a research done in Romania that lasted for 12 weeks and examined physical training and the effects it had on patients with fibromyalgia. During the 12 week study each patient had to perform the following physical activities: flexibility exercises, postural hygiene and balance exercises, pain aerobic exercises, and pilates. It wasn't much of a surprise that when asked which of the four types of exercise they preferred, 74% of them said the flexibility exercises and two-thirds of the patients that completed the program said they continued the exercises at home after the 12-week period was over.
I have heard information like this in the past. One of the hardest things with fibromyalgia is that exercise helps, but having the pain can prevent someone who suffers from fibromyalgia to even begin to work out. From my personal experiences since going gluten-free my symptoms of fibromyalgia have reduced dramatically. I have much fewer days where I cannot get out of bed or function really.
So with this information in mind I was really trying to seek out a "work out program" that would suit my needs but also keep me interested at the same time. I get bored with this stuff rather easily and having the excuse of fibromyalgia on my side makes it all to easy for me to try something for a few days and give up. But this time around I am determined to shed these unwanted pounds.
I can't afford a gym or to take classes anywhere so I needed to find something I could do at home. I was using some videos I found on my OnDemand, but I would start them and then they would be gone a day or two later. Talk about discouraging. When living in Monterey I went to a few Zumba classes both basic and aquatic and loved them. It's a dance party that just happens to be a work out as well. If you didn't know already I was a dancer growing up and I miss it dearly. So I tried to find some Zumba videos online but there wasn't many that I found that I liked (mostly of the class and not of the instructor so I couldn't tell what I was SUPPOSED to be doing).
I finally broke down and bought the Zumba Exhilarate box set. It comes with 5 DVD's, an instruction booklet, and toning sticks. I'm pretty much in love with it. I do it at home, in my living room, without a bunch of people watching…just Penny, I go at my own pace, and I can fit it into my schedule.
After a few weeks of doing the Activate video I decided that I wanted to come up with a workout schedule so I (with the help of Bryan) put one together. Feel free to use this for yourself as well, when you get to the point of completing the Step-by-Step and Activate videos. The schedule below is a 2 month schedule so when the two months are up I will post my new measurements and anthropometric's. Also on the schedule you will notice that it is five days of Zumba videos (Activate, Ripped, and Exhilarate) in addition to a day of yoga/stretching and one day of rest. For the yoga I follow the video that Bryan uses for his Tapout XT workout called Yoga XT. I'm not going to lie it will take me a while to get through the Exhilarate and Yoga XT videos completely, but I am determined. The yoga is a bit rough on my shoulders because back in 1998 I tore my left rotator cuff and had surgery on it, but no physical therapy so my upper body strength isn't so great at the moment, but again I'm working on it and I'm rather determined.
I don't own anything Zumba related…yet. When I can afford to purchase something this will probably be first on my list: mostly because 30% of sales price from The Great Calorie Drive™ Zumba® merchandise sold are donated to World Food Programme and Feeding America. I love companies that donate and support charities that I support.
Who knows maybe someday I'll do one of the Zumba training programs to become an instructor…
I am looking for a protein shake/meal replacer that is gluten-free and is affordable. I have heard many great things about Shakeology but I just can't afford the $130 a month for it. So if anyone has suggestions PLEASE let me know! Thanks so much.

The Oregon Grille, after 16 years, has achieved institutional status.
For residents of northern Baltimore County, especially those reluctant to drive into the city, the Oregon Grille is a retreat from the crowds and their flashy manners.
Gentlemen are still asked to wear jackets in the dining room — not just on weekends, but weeknights, too. We had a pleasantly paced and relaxing dinner in the main dining room, which is decorated extensively with equestrian kitsch and framed scenes of the hunt. A piano player lends the room a touch of class.
The flip-side of all this country-club civility is smugness, and the Oregon Grille has been known to present a cold shoulder to first-time diners. But I found the atmosphere has thawed a bit since my last visit a few years back. The bar, where the dress code is relaxed, is lively and merry. The service we had there and in the dining room was polite and personable.
Although the Oregon Grille is not a steakhouse, steaks are the pride of the house, and the prized steak on the menu is a boneless, dry-aged prime sirloin strip. Listed on the menu as market price, it ended up being $53. That's how much we were charged, too, for steak au poivre, which was prepared, we were told, from a similar cut of beef.
That's a lot of steak. And the third entree we ordered was an ahi tuna au poivre. I wish we had dug a little deeper into the Oregon Grille's menu. But none of the dozen or so other entrees, heavy-going fine-dining fare such as pan-fried rockfish, lobster cardinale and grilled loin of lamb, called out to us. And our waiter seemed to be tacitly advising us to stick with the steak.
I was most impressed with the steak au poivre. The Oregon Grille is one of the few restaurants to prepare it with an encrusting of black peppercorns instead of just covering a piece of steak with a brandy and peppercorn sauce. So big points for that — and for the overall handling of the steaks, which had the full-bodied flavor you associate with good marbling but with all of its fat trimmed away.
And the tuna was fine, too — generously portioned, robust and satisfying, with a liberal pepper crusting. It would be the ideal option for someone who wants steak but has been told to cut down on red meat.
But because the Oregon Grille is not, in essence, a steakhouse, your $53 steak doesn't come with the sizzle, or that little something extra a steakhouse provides that makes an evening feel special. And this would be OK, you reason, if everything else was perfect, or close to it.
But it's not. An appetizer of grilled oysters, served handsomely with a lemon beurre blanc, was a problem. We enjoyed the flavor, but the oysters hadn't been separated cleanly from their shell, and they tore when we tried to eat them.
The other appetizers were much better. The "paella" risotto cakes offered good pieces of buttery lobster and tender shrimp. A saffron-paprika aioli gave the cakes the sunny appearance and warm flavors of paella. The evening's outstanding effort was a crispy duck leg, garnished with slices of caramelized pears and cranberries, which yielded hunks of beautiful lean duck meat.
For every encouraging sign, such as the expertly suggested wine pairings, there's a discouraging one, like the a dull and dated dessert lineup — things like Key lime pie, New York-style cheesecake and "assorted fresh berries." We settled for a bland apple crisp and a flabby creme brulee.
The Oregon Grille seems to have settled for being a very good restaurant but not a great one. That is how it's loyal customers seem to prefer it.
One thing more: The maitre d' on duty when we visited was especially adroit at resolving a tricky issue that arose in the dining room. It had to do with diners at a nearby table who were using a lot of swear words in their conversation. We mentioned it to the maitre d', who asked them to stop, which they did. Eventually, they started up again, but more quietly.
I bring this up both because I was impressed with how the situation was handled and to make what is maybe an obvious point about dress codes. They don't guarantee civility.

Who is affected?
Alzheimer's disease
On the basis of comparisons of large groups of people with Alzheimer's disease with others who have not been affected, researchers suggest that there are a number of risk factors. This means that some people are more likely to suffer from the disease than others. However, it is unlikely that the disease could be traced to a single cause. It is more likely that a combination of factors lead to its development, with the importance of particular factors differing from one person to another.
About one person out of twenty over the age of 65 develops Alzheimer's disease and less than one person in a thousand under the age of 65. However, it is important to note that although people do tend to become forgetful as times goes on, the vast majority of people over 80 stay mentally alert. This means that although the likelihood of developing Alzheimer's disease increases with age, old age does not itself cause the disease. Nevertheless, recent evidence suggests that age related problems such as arteriosclerosis may be important contributing factors. Also, as people are now living longer than in the past, the number of people with Alzheimer's disease and other forms of dementia will most probably increase.
Some studies have suggested that more women are affected by the disease than men at any one time. However, this can be misleading because women as a group live longer than men. This means that if men were to live as long as women and did not die of other illnesses, the number with Alzheimer's disease would be about the same as that for women.
Genetic factors (Heredity)
In an extremely limited number of families Alzheimer's disease is a dominant genetic disorder. Members of such families inherit from one of their parents the part of the DNA (the genetic make-up), which causes the disease. On average, half the children of an affected parent will develop the disease. For the members of such families who develop Alzheimer's disease, the age of onset tends to be relatively low, usually between 35 and 60. The onset is fairly constant within the family. A link between chromosome 21 and Alzheimer's disease has been discovered. As Down's syndrome is caused by an anomaly in this chromosome, many children with Down's syndrome will develop Alzheimer's disease if they reach middle age, although they may not display the full range of symptoms.
Head injury
There is evidence to suggest that a person who has received a severe blow to the head may be at risk of developing Alzheimer's disease. This risk is higher if at the time of the injury the person is over 50, has a specific gene (apoE4) and lost consciousness just after the accident.
Other factors
There is no conclusive evidence to suggest that any particular group of people is more or less likely to develop Alzheimer's disease. Race, profession, geographical and socio-economic situation are not determinants of the disease. However, there is mounting evidence to suggest that people with a higher level of education are at less risk than those with a lower level of education.

Talisker-controlled firm withdraws application in Old Town
A firm under the Talisker umbrella recently withdrew an application for a work force housing project that had been under consideration in the southern reaches of Old Town.
United Park City Mines withdrew the application during a recent meeting of the Historic Preservation Board, a City Hall panel that sometimes is involved in development applications in Old Town.
United Park City Mines appeared before the Historic Preservation Board after people who live close to the project site, situated at 100 Marsac Ave., appealed a staff-level approval of the project's design.
Tom Eddington, City Hall's planning director, said in an interview it appeared the Historic Preservation Board would side with the people who filed the appeal challenging the design. A representative from the developer then said the application would be withdrawn, according to Eddington.
The project entailed 10 houses on the east side of Marsac Avenue. The site is across the street from the Hillside Avenue intersection. The project had been seen as part of the overall work force housing plan for Empire Pass. Eddington said the developer continues to meet its Empire Pass work force housing requirements even after withdrawing the application at 100 Marsac Ave.
David Smith, an attorney for the developer, said afterward United Park City Mines is determining how to proceed. He declined to discuss the future of the 100 Marsac Ave. site.
United Park City Mines has considered the site as a potential location for work force housing for years and has received neighborhood criticism throughout that time.
Park City campaign: Consider the time, the criticism and the 'honor'
City Hall has scheduled an event on Tuesday, May 21, designed for people who are contemplating a bid for elected office in the municipal campaign.

MARANA, Arizona (Reuters) - Former champion Luke Donald was the biggest name to fall in the second round of the snow-delayed WGC-Accenture Match Play Championship after being pummeled 7&6 by American Scott Piercy on Friday.
The British world number three was totally outplayed by Piercy, who was effectively seven-under par on his ball after being conceded a four-foot birdie putt at the short 12th to seal the win.
Piercy spectacularly holed out with a four-iron from 221 yards to eagle the par-four fifth, then birdied the sixth, eighth and ninth to go 6up on Donald by the turn on a sunny but cool and breezy day at Dove Mountain.
"Scott played very well, I played just very average," 2011 Match Play champion Donald told reporters. "I probably didn't drive it well enough today to put any pressure on Scott.
"He was just playing extremely solid, didn't give me really a look. I had a few opportunities on the greens, but for whatever reason I was just not making the putts today, and hence I'm going home."
Making his first appearance in the elite World Golf Championships (WGC) event, Piercy will next meet 2001 champion Steve Stricker who edged past fellow American Nick Watney after 21 holes.
"I played really solid today," said double PGA Tour champion Piercy, whose 7&6 margin of victory has been eclipsed only five times at this event.
"I hit every green in regulation. I got up early and tried to lean on him once I got up. It was just a solid day all around.
"I think he was off a little bit," the American said of Donald who double-bogeyed the opening hole. "From the first tee shot it didn't look like Luke. I just tried to make some birdies and stay out ahead of him."
The stunning departure of Donald follows the premature exits on Thursday of world number one Rory McIlroy and three-times champion Tiger Woods.
Northern Irish McIlroy, a losing finalist last year, was eliminated 1up by Ireland's Shane Lowry and Woods was eliminated 2&1 by fellow American Charles Howell III.
World number 68 Lowry continued his winning form on Friday, making five birdies in a flawless display on the way to a commanding 6&5 victory over Swede Carl Pettersson.
Howell, however, ran out of steam as he was crushed 6&5 by Spaniard Gonzalo Fernandez-Castano.
Long-hitting Belgian Nicolas Colsaerts became the first player to reach the third round with a 4&2 upset win over British world number six Justin Rose on Friday.
Nicknamed the 'Belgian Bomber' because of his power hitting, Colsaerts will next face American Matt Kuchar, who beat Spaniard Sergio Garcia 2&1 in a closely contested match between two Ryder Cup players.
Ian Poulter, the 2010 champion, also advanced with a 3&1 victory over American Bo Van Pelt to set up a third-round encounter with South African Tim Clark, who beat Dane Thorbjorn Olesen 3&2.
"I had seven birdies, no bogeys, and when you play like that, and you don't give your opponent anything, then obviously it's going to be a tough day for him," matchplay specialist Poulter said with a smile.
Defending champion Hunter Mahan never trailed on the way to a commanding 4&3 win against South African Richard Sterne and he will take on Germany's Martin Kaymer in the next round.
Kaymer, who lost 3&2 to Donald in the 2011 Match Play Championship final, advanced by beating Spaniard Rafael Cabrera-Bello 2&1.
"I just feel comfortable here ... from the tees to the greens and everything," said Mahan. "I feel like I just know where I need to hit it.
"Confidence is high. I know I can play this place well, and I know I can beat anybody on any given day."
In other second-round matches, Masters champion Bubba Watson battled past fellow American Jim Furyk after 22 holes and U.S. Open winner Webb Simpson beat Swede Peter Hanson 1up after never leading until the 18th.
With the snow-delayed first round finally completed earlier on Friday, officials plan to get the tournament back on track with the third round and quarter-finals both set for Saturday.

Author Notes: Leftover homemade Roast Beef is a very convenient part of many deferent dishes and especially for hearty, satisfying sandwiches for meat lovers.
Here is one sandwich that has all components of a French Onion Soup, except of the beef slices. I think even if you make the same sandwich without beef, it will still be very tasty.
Serves: 6
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 tablespoon butter plus 2 tablespoons soften for spreading on bread
• 2 large yellow onions, cut in half and thinly sliced
• 6 thick, 1/2-inch good quality whole grain or sourdough bread
• 4 thin slices (preferable homemade) roast beef for each sandwich
• 1/4 cup dry sherry wine
• 1/2 cup beef broth (low-sodium)
• 6 slices Gruyere cheese cut in half
• 2 tablespoons freshly chopped parsley
• 1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves
• 1 cup leftover jus from roasting the beef
In This Recipe
- Heat oil and butter in a medium nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add onion and cook stirring until lightly browned, about 15 minutes.
- Deglaze with beef broth and cook until it is absorbed, about 10 more minutes. Add the dry sherry, cook stirring, until no liquid is left in the skillet and onions have caramelized to a deep brown color, mix in parsley.
- Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Meanwhile, slice the bread and spread butter on one side. Place on baking sheet, buttered side up, and toast on the upper rack, until golden about 7-10 minutes. In a small sauce pan heat the leftover jus.
- To assemble; top the buttered sides with 1 half slice of cheese, then about a tablespoon of the onion mixture. Dip beef slices into hot jus and arrange 4 slices on top of onion mixture, cover with the other half of cheese.
- Return to the oven and bake until cheese has melted. Serve with extra jus for dipping, if eating right away. The jus can be substituted with any your favorite sauces (I love Chimichurri).

Ray J Finally Addresses Whitney Houston's Death
With Whitney Houston's funeral set for tomorrow (Feb.18), her on-off love interest Ray J finally spoke out about this great loss via a statement to The Associated Press (per Ace Showbiz) about the 'I Will Always Love You' singer's death.
Ray J, who achieved his own measure of fame as a singer and as Kim Kardashian's sex tape partner, said, "Over the past few days, I've tried to process the emptiness that I am experiencing. What my heart feels cannot be expressed in words. The world lost an icon, but I lost my close friend." How heartbreaking.
Additionally, Ray J referred to Houston, who was 48 at the time of her death last Saturday, Feb. 11, by her familial nickname of "Nippy." He said, "Nippy I miss you so much! You were so happy and full of love. Your smile will live in my heart forever."
Ray J, who had been surprisingly quiet in the wake of Houston's death, presumably to deal with the grief, will be in attendance at the services in Newark, N.J. tomorrow. The funeral will also be streamed online in the wake of a public memorial so that fans can participate and share in the celebration of the singer's life, as authorities are discouraging fans from showing up since no one without an invitation will be permitted entry to the ceremony.
Ray J will be accompanied tomorrow by his sister Brandy. Our thoughts and prayers continue to go out to Houston's family and friends like Ray J.

SLIPPERY ROCK — It was probably the last thing a borough police officer expected to hear from a suspected drunken driver he pulled over earlier this month: "thank you."
But that's what Caleb D. Trombatt, 27, of Butler Township told Patrolman Jake Ingram, police said.
Not only did Trombatt express his gratitude, according to court documents, but he admitted making a dumb mistake — drinking and driving.
Police allege he was more than three times the state's legal limit for alcohol when he was pulled over on Kiester Road.
The suspect's truck was "weaving back and forth," documents said, when the officer stopped Trombatt near the Slippery Rock Middle School.
"Sir, thank you for pulling me over," Trombatt told Ingram, according to a police affidavit. "I'm way too (expletive) to be driving."
He was subsequently arrested and taken for a breath test, which showed his blood-alcohol level was 0.244 percent.
A full report will appear in the Butler Eagle.

PlayStation All-Stars Battle Royale Getting Two Free Characters
New combatants from two Sony exclusives are joining the All-Stars Battle Royale fight, and will be free for two weeks.
Kat from Gravity Rush and Emmet from Starhawk are now available as downloadable characters for PlayStation All-Stars Battle Royale. Both fighters will be free for two weeks, after which they will cost $4.99 each. Sony originally promised these characters would be free when they were announced last year, but didn't disclose when they'd be available.
Kat is a close combat fighter, with the ability to use some of her gravity warping abilities in the arena. Her level three attack summons a massive black hole that deals instant death to any opponent sucked into the vortex. Emmet will bring Starhawk's "Build and Battle" mantra with him, which allows him to drop weapons into the arena for use. When releasing his level three super attack, Emmet hops into a Hawk mech, stomping and blasting everyone who gets in his way.
Which of the new characters are you most excited to use? Who do you hope Sony adds next?

Whether Copenhagen's Noma is the world's best restaurant doesn't matter: René Redzepi, its chef, has responded to his well-deserved recognition with the kind of inspiration and energy that guarantee he'll be around for a while. Redzepi, soon to turn 34, is also a sweet guy running an oddly nonhierarchical kitchen, and talented people from all over the world are flocking to Denmark to work for him.
Meanwhile, well-heeled people from all over the world are flocking to Noma to get a sample of the restaurant's "new Nordic cuisine." ("Noma" is a conflation of the Danish words for "Nordic" and "food.") Much of the food is actually Nordic, though not exclusively so: the pan-seared langoustine with oyster-parsley purée, for example, could be claimed just as legitimately by New Orleans.

French-Canadian explorer La Verendrye dies
In the midst of planning another expedition to search for the elusive Northwest Passage, French-Canadian explorer La Verendrye dies at the age of sixty-four in Montreal, Canada.
Born in 1685 in the small frontier town of Trois-Rivieres, New France (now the Canadian province of Quebec), La Verendrye exhibited an adventurous spirit from an early age. When he was only 12 years old, he joined in the French-Indian raid on Deerfield, Massachusetts, and then sailed across the Atlantic to fight for France in the War of the Spanish Succession. After spending time as a soldier, he returned to New France, and in 1726, he became a fur trader in the frontier region north of Lake Superior.
Native Americans in the area told La Verendrye stories of a great river that flowed out of the West—they were speaking of the river we now know as the Missouri. None of the Native Americans had ever followed the river all the way to the headwaters, but they heard it led to a giant western ocean. La Verendrye realized that if the stories were true, the river could be the hoped—for Northwest Passage to the Pacific.
La Verendrye's exploration was motivated by a desire to discover the secrets of the West, and a financial interest in discovering new sources of furs. He and his sons built up a string of trading posts that probed deep into the unknown western territories. In 1738, armed with several crude maps—given to him by Indians—that supposedly showed the all-water route to the "western sea," La Verendrye reached the Mandan Indian villages along the Missouri River in present-day North Dakota, some sixty years before Lewis and Clark reached the same area. From this base, two of his sons continued westward; it is possible they may have traveled far enough into Montana and Wyoming to see the massive Rocky Mountains in the distance.
Unfortunately, La Verendrye and his sons never found the elusive Northwest Passage, and their failure earned them only scorn from the French authorities in Montreal. This derision was perhaps unfair, since Lewis and Clark discovered in 1805 that the passage for which La Verendrye had been searching did not actually exist, and La Verendrye did deserve credit for opening new areas to French fur traders. Without his exploration, those areas likely would have been claimed by British competitors. At entirely his own expense, La Verendrye pushed farther into the West than any other Frenchman, at least temporarily strengthening French political claims in North America.
Despite the poor treatment he received from French leaders, La Verendrye remained determined to find the coveted path to the western sea. He was 64 years old when he died preparing for another journey of exploration.

Civics Homework And Power of the Third Parties
September 15, 2008
I guess you are pretty obsessed when you light a political fire in your head over Civics homework (yes, I still do homework), but I've got to get this out. While reading and highlighting a packet on immigration, the author somehow got his random point across, unleashing his/her demise of the third political party and how the two-party system is the ultimate future of politics.
So, on a less heated note, I'd like to kindly point out that in fact the third party has essentially been the centerpiece of American political innovation, as supported by Bobby Roth's: "A Reason To Vote".
The first people to oppose slavery? We should give the GOP a hand, they founded the Republican Party (at the time) based on abolishing slavery. I'll also note that most other nation-changing innovations have been conducted by a third party, including women's rights for voting.
So although I do admit Bob Parr scares the living daylights out of me, one of the things I am very passionate about when it comes to politics is the fact that it is currently very hard for a third party to get on the ballet — and literally impossible for them to gain any recognition in the general election.
I haven't ever agreed with a Green Party candidate nor a Libertarian, but one thing is for certain — every party should have the same chance to present themselves and their candidate's credentials, and that has been fading away in the US lately.
