Burnley's England cricket ace James Anderson bowls over Maasai Warriors
2:14pm Thursday 29th November 2012 in News
ON THE BALL England pace ace James Anderson has turned his hand to a new career in film-making with a documentary about the Maasai tribe's interest in cricket.
ENGLAND fast bowler James Anderson has revealed a second career – as a film-maker producing a documentary about the Maasai Warrior cricket team.
The film, Warrior, is set to tell the story of a group of Kenyan Maasai tribesmen using cricket and the unity of sport to battle HIV and fight for women's rights.
Anderson, who grew up in Burnley and early in his career played int he Lancashire League, took a break after England's triumph in the Second Test against India in Mumbai to speak about Warrior and his role in the film.
He said: "Hopefully cricket can help in a small way, draw attention to the issues they have such as AIDS and domestic abuse.
"The players tour schools and educate through cricket and have recently been getting girls to start playing too."
Dressed in their signature colourful robes, instead of the traditional cricket whites, the warriors add zing to the game by occasionally screaming war cries when hitting or throwing the ball.
The documentary will cover their work in Kenya, where they tour schools and coach cricket along with wider health education.
It will also examine the groups efforts to raise enough funds to tour England in the summer of 2013.
The film is due to be broadcast in September 2013. Anderson said he had a long standing interest in film making and didn't rule out further work in the field.
"I'm the wrong side of 30 now so it's time to start thinking about things to do after retirement from cricket," he said.

A Changed World: The Continuing Impact of the Holocaust
The Holocaust was a watershed event in human history. In the aftermath of World War II, the world—from individual nations to the United Nations; from religious leaders to professionals in fields as diverse as law, medicine, and science; from presidents and prime ministers to private citizens—confronted its legacy.
Elie Wiesel and Oprah Winfrey at Auschwitz Speak About the Relevance of the Holocaust Today
Elie Wiesel and Oprah Winfrey traveled to Auschwitz in January 2006. Learn more about the relevance of the Holocaust today.
The Nuremberg Trials and Their Legacy
The Holocaust was an unprecedented crime—a crime composed of millions of murders, wrongful imprisonments, and tortures, of rape, theft, and destruction. In the immediate aftermath of the Holocaust, the world was faced with a challenge—how to seek justice for an almost unimaginable scale of criminal behavior. The International Military Tribunal (IMT) held at Nuremberg, Germany, attempted to broach this immense challenge on a legal basis.

I figure there will be a lot of media coverage in the coming week, so here's a new KWEEN thread, leading off with an article by Bonnie Ford: http://espn.go.com/espnw/olympics/75...all-week-espnw
Specifically, Kwan was named the country's first Public Diplomacy Envoy, and has made half a dozen overseas trips with government delegations. She rubs shoulders with ambassadors and policy-makers and interacts with young people in her unpaid role. Kwan also serves on the President's Council on Fitness, Sports and Nutrition and the Special Olympics' board of directors. She earned a master's degree in international relations from the Fletcher School of Law and Diplomacy at Tufts University last spring and moved to Washington. She rarely skates any more, preferring to practice yoga several days a week.
Yet Kwan isn't ready to define her dream job and views her second career as a work in progress. She said she felt behind when she re-entered academia and is still listening and absorbing. It will surprise no one who followed her that she is approaching the next phase with inquisitiveness, humility and not a single trace of celebrity entitlement.
"I would like to do something that's different than what I'm used to for the past 20 years of my life, and that's not an easy task," she said.

U.S. Women's National Team Press Kit for FIVB World Grand Prix
USA Volleyball Event Page for FIVB World Grand Prix
COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. (July 25, 2011) – The U.S. Women's National Volleyball Team, ranked second in the world, will look to defend its 2010 FIVB World Grand Prix gold medal during August 2011, but that will be no small task.
The U.S. used an 11-match win streak to capture gold at the 2010 FIVB World Grand Prix, the premier annual international volleyball tournament now in its 19th year since its debut in 1993. The Team USA gold medal was its third in the event, but first in nine years. Before last year's performance, the Americans had not reached the World Grand Prix podium since 2004.
"The World Grand Prix is a very challenging event," U.S. Women's National Team Head Coach Hugh McCutcheon (Christchurch, New Zealand) said. "You have to play a lot of good volleyball to be successful, and when you add the travel and a bunch of strong opponents as well, it all makes for a really tough tournament."
The FIVB World Grand Prix has increased from 12 to 16 of the best teams in the world for 2011. The event has three consecutive weekends of preliminary round pool play divided into four locations per weekend with four teams each competing in a round-robin format. Teams accumulate nine total matches through the three preliminary round weekends with the top seven teams in the standings joining China as host country into the World Grand Prix Final Round. Teams earn three points for a 3-0 or 3-1 victory, two points for a 3-2 victory and one point for a 3-2 loss.
McCutcheon feels the tournament expansion is good for the game, but will not necessarily affect how the team prepares.
"Obviously there are more opponents that we need to be ready for," McCutcheon said. "However, the format essentially hasn't changed. Each preliminary weekend has three matches per weekend, then five matches in the Final Round - but with a different format (pool play before crossover semifinals and medal matches versus five days of round-robin). As far as the expansion of the number of teams, I think anytime you can add more countries to an event of this caliber, it's positive for the sport."
For the 2011 FIVB World Grand Prix edition, McCutcheon has selected an experienced preliminary roster mixed in with some young athletes who are budding stars on the international stage. The 20-player preliminary roster includes middle blockers Foluke Akinradewo (Plantation, Fla.), Heather Bown (Yorba Linda, Calif.), Christa Harmotto (Hopewell, Pa.), Danielle Scott-Arruda (Baton Rouge, La.) and Jennifer Tamas (Milpitas, Calif.). Outside hitters in the mix for the final roster are Angie Forsett (Lake Mary, Fla.), Kim Glass (Lancaster, Pa.), Megan Hodge (Durham, N.C.), Jordan Larson (Hooper, Neb.), Kristin Richards (Orem, Utah) and Logan Tom (Salt Lake City, Utah).
Setters named to the preliminary roster are Lindsey Berg (Honolulu), Alisha Glass (Leland, Mich.) and Nellie Spicer (Barrington, Ill.). Opposites on the preliminary squad are Nicole Fawcett (Zanesfield, Ohio), Tayyiba Haneef-Park (Laguna Hills, Calif.), Destinee Hooker (San Antonio, Texas) and Nancy Metcalf (Hull, Iowa). Liberos on the roster are Nicole Davis (Stockton, Calif.) and Tamari Miyashiro (Kaneohe, Hawaii).
Nine of the 20 players on the FIVB World Grand Prix preliminary roster have Olympic Games experience, while 13 of 20 have played in the FIVB World Championships. Scott-Arruda is a four-time Olympian attempting to become the first American volleyball player to compete in five Olympics. Tom and Bown have played in three Olympic Games.
The Americans have won the World Grand Prix in 1995, 2001 and 2010, along with consecutive bronze-medal finishes in 2003 and 2004. Akinradewo was named the most valuable player and Best Blocker in last year's edition, while Alisha Glass was selected as Best Setter in her first senior-level FIVB-organized event of her career.
The U.S. Women's National Team opens the three-weekend preliminary round phase at Luohe, China. In Pool D, the Americans face ninth-ranked Serbia on Aug. 5 at 4 p.m. (1 a.m. PT), No. 19 Kazakhstan on Aug. 6 at 4 p.m. (1 a.m. PT) and No. 6 China on Aug. 7 at 7:30 p.m. (4:30 a.m. PT).
Team USA travels to Komaki, Japan, for the second preliminary round weekend. The U.S. opens Pool H against No. 13 Dominican Republic on Aug. 12 at 3 p.m. (11 p.m. PT on Aug. 11), followed by No. 3 Japan on Aug. 13 at 6 p.m. (2 a.m. PT) and a rematch with No. 9 Serbia on Aug. 14 at 3 p.m. (11 p.m. PT on Aug. 13).
The Americans conclude the preliminary round in Hong Kong, which will be hosting two pools under the Hong Kong Coliseum roof at the same time. The U.S. faces No. 10 Germany on Aug. 19 at 3 p.m. (midnight PT), followed by No. 4 Italy on Aug. 20 at 7 p.m. (4 a.m. PT) and No. 15 Peru on Aug. 21 at 11 a.m. (10 p.m. PT on Aug. 20).
"There are a lot of challenges in playing the World Grand Prix," McCutcheon said. "Sometimes the challenges are the travel, sometimes it is the pools you are in. There are a lot of different factors you have to watch out for. Certainly we try to prepare for as many eventualities as we can so we can put ourselves in the best possible position to be successful."
For the 2011 FIVB World Grand Prix, the travel and frequent flier miles logged will not be as huge an issue as in the past. All three preliminary weekend pools the Americans have been placed into are in Asia, along with the Final Round. In contrast, the 2010 U.S. team traveled from Poland to Thailand to Hong Kong to China and went on to win the World Grand Prix. In 2009, the miles stacked up with weekends in Brazil, Chinese Taipei and Thailand. In 2008 right before the Olympic Games, Team USA went from Japan to Poland to Chinese Taipei and back to Japan.
"This year's travel schedule is a little different from those past," McCutcheon said. "The prospect of not really having to deal with the jet lag repeatedly weekend to weekend will be interesting. Hopefully it will be a positive for us."
The 2011 FIVB World Grand Prix Final Round will have eight teams divided into two groups playing a round-robin schedule Aug. 24-26. The top two teams in each pool advance to crossover semifinals on Aug. 27 with the medal matches played on Aug. 28. The Final Round winner receives $200,000, while each preliminary weekend winner receives $35,000.
The U.S. Women's National Team will face three teams ranked among the top six in the world (No. 3 Japan, No. 4 Italy and No. 6 China), along with three other matches against top 10 teams (twice against No. 9 Peru and No. 10 Germany). Team USA's nine FIVB World Grand Prix preliminary round matches result in an average world ranking of 9.78.
Following the FIVB World Grand Prix, the Americans will compete in the NORCECA Women's Continental Championship (Sept. 10-18), the Pan American Games (Oct. 14-20) and the FIVB World Cup (Nov. 4-18) should they qualify through the NORCECA Continental Championship. In January 2012, the U.S. will compete in the NORCECA Olympic Qualification Tournament (Jan. 6-14) if it does not secure one of the three 2012 Olympic Games qualifying spots at the FIVB World Cup.
"The goal for this year, obviously, is Olympic qualification," McCutcheon said. "To that end, we hope that by the end of the World Grand Prix, our team is playing and competing at a high level - and we want to carry that momentum through to this year's NORCECA Continental Championship."
Team USA has already competed in two tournaments this year, finishing with a fourth-place finish at the Montreux Volley Masters (June 7-12 at Montreux, Switzerland) and the bronze medal at the Pan American Cup (July 1-9 at Juarez, Mexico). During the Pan American Cup, the U.S. defeated NORCECA rival Cuba in three sets during the bronze-medal match. The Americans also stretched Brazil, the eventual gold-medalist of the tournament, to five sets on the final day of pool play.

Addicted to high-def? No chance of that happening. You're just reading this blog on a Sunday morning because you choose to. We would never compare the feverish need for increased resolution that keeps you tuned to Discovery-HD watching a documentary you would have fallen asleep on in grade school to the effects of controlled substances. This Columbia Tribune sports editor however seems particularly weak-willed and unable to control his impulses, watching sports continuously on his new HDTV. A lost soul.
I think this is more propaganda meant to confuse the masses about high definition, and cause fear about its effects. You can stop watching HD anytime you want, and everyone knows that real life has better pixel density than even 1080p and very few compression artifacts, it's no contest. Even this fall when football will be on practically every day and we can anticipate all the new network shows will be high definition, there will be uh...plenty of reasons to go outside.
Now if you'll excuse me, I have to unplug my phone so no one interrupts me about skipping Father's Day brunch to catch Brazil vs. Australia World Cup action in 720p.
[Happy Father's Day Dad!]

Biography / Administrative history
With the launch of Alouette I for ionospheric research in 1962, Canada became the third country in the world to enter the space age, after Russia and the United States. The Alouette II satellite followed in 1965. Dr John Chapman, head of the Alouette Project, was then asked to create a blueprint for Canada's future in space. The 1967 Chapman Report proposed, among other things, the development of a national space agency. In 1969, the Canadian Cabinet created the Interdepartmental Committee on Space (ICS) to advise the government on policy and planning for Canadian space activities. Originally chaired by Ministry of State for Science and Technology (MOSST - 1969-1976), responsibility for the ICS passed to the Department of Communications (1976-1980) and back to MOSST (1980-1989).
Canadian ionospheric studies continued with the launch of International Satellites ISIS-I and ISIS-II in 1969 and 1972 respectively. The David Florida Laboratory (DFL) - named after the manager of the ISIS program - was founded in Ottawa in 1972, as a spacecraft assembly, integration and testing centre. Gradually, the DFL evolved into a support facility for major space projects involving telecommunications, earth observation and robotics technologies. In 1975, Canada entered into the first of a series of five and ten-year agreements with the European Space Agency. Then, in 1983, the first group of six Canadian astronauts are selected, with Marc Garneau becoming the first Canadian in space in October of that year.
On 1 March 1989, the space-oriented divisions of MOSST; the National Research Council; the Department of Energy, Mines and Resources; and the Department of Communications were re-grouped to create the Canadian Space Agency (CSA or "the Agency"). Authority for this new Agency came from the Canadian Space Agency Act (SC 1990, c13), which was officially passed on 14 December 1990. The Act established the Agency's mandate as: The peaceful use and development of space, to advance the knowledge of space through science and to ensure that space science and technology provide social and economic benefits for Canadians. Larkin Kerwin was named the first president.
The Agency has a status equivalent to that of a Departmentbof the Government of Canada and reports to Perliament through the Minister of Industry. The President, who has powers equivalent to those of a deputy minister, manages an organization divided into 14 divisions, which can be loosely organized into three branches - science, integrated functions and administration. The 'Science' branch consists of: the Space Science Program; the Space Technologies Division; the Space Systems Division; the Space Operations Program; and the Canadian Astronaut Office. The 'Integrated Functions Branch' consists of: Administration, Human Resources and Legal Services. The 'Administrative Branch' consists of: Communications; Corporate Management: Audit, Evaluation and Review; Strategic Development; External Relations and Government Liaison.
In fulfilment of its mandate, the CSA has managed Canada's involvement with the National Aeronautics and Space Administration, the European Space Agency and the International Space station. The Agency has also been involved in many projects, including the RADARSATI and II satellites, experiments with the International Space Station, the selection and missions of Canadian astronauts, etc.

Yes, the MPH Program in the Department of Health at West Chester University received accreditation from The Council on Education for Public Health (CEPH) in September 2006.
CEPH is an independent agency recognized by the US Department of Education to accredit schools of public health and certain public health programs offered in settings other than schools of public health. These schools and programs prepare students for entry into careers in public health. The primary professional degree is the MPH but other masters and doctoral degrees are offered as well (CEPH, 2007).Specific Objectives of CEPH:
The goal of the Council is "to enhance health in human populations through organized community effort." The Council's focus is the improvement of health through the assurance of professional personnel who are able to identify, prevent and solve community health problems.
The Council's objectives are:
Applications for admission to the Master of Public Health (MPH) degree in the Department of Health are accepted at any time.The MPH Application Requirements
West Chester University's policy for graduate studies includes that the highest possible grades/test scores do not guarantee admission to graduate school, nor do low grades/test scores automatically disqualify a candidate. Our policy is that no applicant should be admitted unless we expect that applicant to do well enough to graduate and have no serious academic problems.
Note: Graduate admission decisions are made using a variety of criteria including the undergraduate grade point average, letters of reference and an applicant's goal statement. Individuals who have questions about their admissibility are encouraged to contact the Office of Graduate Studies or the MPH Program Director.
Applications for admission to the Master of Public Health (MPH) degree in the Department of Health are accepted at any time. The following materials are required from all applicants:
The applicant is responsible for assuring that all necessary materials are received by the Office of Graduate Studies by the recommended application deadlines. While the Department of Health accepts applications at any time, a student's ability to schedule desired courses may be impacted by the timing of application processing. All application materials become the property of West Chester University and may not be returned or forwarded to another institution.
Please be aware that an undergraduate statistics course is a prerequisite for two core courses in the MPH program. Students may begin the MPH Program (without the undergraduate statistics requirement) if other academic requirements are met, however students will be admitted under provisional status. To remove the provisional status and be eligible to register for HEA 520 and HEA526, proof of statistics course completion or the Statistics Competency Examination score is needed by submitting a copy of a transcript or score to the Department of Health and the Office of Graduate Studies.The Statistics Competency Examination is held by Dr. Stacie Metz (email@example.com).
Students who complete HEA520 and HEA526 without the undergraduate statistics course will not able to obtain Degree Candidacy and will remain in provisional status. We strongly encourage students to complete this undergraduate course as soon as possible. If students do not obtain Degree Candidacy they will not be able to complete the degree.
The Office of Graduate Studies (firstname.lastname@example.com) collects application materials as they are received. When a student's file is complete, and not before, the application is sent to the Department of Health. Departmental faculty evaluate the application then recommend either full or provisional matriculation or denial, as appropriate, to the Graduate Dean. A student is admitted to graduate study at West Chester University only after final action by the Graduate Dean.
For more information regarding the status of an application under review please contact:

Yes, you may apply online.
Up to nine (9) semester hours of graduate credit from other CEPH-accredited MPH Programs may be transferred for credit toward the MPH core courses at West Chester University. Additional course work for MPH Tracks may be transferred in from other programs. The acceptance of transfer credit is based on review and approval by the MPH Program Director and Track Coordinators. Only grades of "B" or better will be accepted for transfer. Transfer credit must carry a letter or numerical grade of "B" or better and cannot be a pass/fail course.
Yes, students can enter the program with part time or full time status. Students who maintain part time status are registered for 3-6 credits per semester. Students who maintain full time status are registered for 9 -12 credits per semester. Most students working full time prefer to complete the MPH program on a part time basis.
West Chester University offers flat tuition billing for full-time students (9+ credits per semester) and our tuition is competitive as compared to annual tuition of the regional universities (see Tuition & Fees). The current tuition and fees can be found at the WCU Bursar's Office.
The purpose of financial aid at West Chester University is to provide financial assistance and counseling to students who can benefit from further education, but who cannot obtain it without such assistance. Financial assistance consists of gift aid in the form of scholarships or grants and self-help aid in the form of employment or loans. The main responsibility for meeting educational expenses rests with students. Financial aid is a supplement to family contributions and is to be used for educational expenses. Eligibility for financial aid, with the exception of some assistantships and scholarships, is based on demonstrated financial need. Family income, assets, and family size influence the demonstrated financial need of the student. Please direct questions concerning financial aid to the Office of Financial Aid (610-436-2627). The Department of Health has a limited number of scholarships or awards. The availability of awards varies by emphasis area.
Graduate assistantships are available in the Department of Health and across the university.
University-Wide Graduate Assistantships: Contact the Office of Graduate Studies for university-wide graduate assistantship opportunities. For maximum consideration for support, university-wide applications are due by April 15th to be eligible for a fall semester assistantship, or by October 15th for a spring semester assistantship.
Department of Health Graduate Assistantships: The Department of Health has very limited number of graduate assistant positions. We ask that students follow the procedure outlined below during the application and decision process for graduate assistantships. When positions are filled in the Department of Health, students interested in pursuing a graduate assistantship are encouraged to contact the Office of Graduate Studies for additional opportunities in other departments.
To be eligible to receive a graduate assistantship specifically in the Department of Health, the student must complete our Department of Health graduate assistantship application form and satisfy the following requirements:
For both Department of Health and university-wide graduate assistantships, full-time graduate assistants, in return for 20 hours of assigned duties per week, receive tuition remission and a stipend of $5,000 for the academic year and must be enrolled as full-time graduate students (9-15 credits). Half-time assistantships involving 10 hours per week of assignments also are available. For these, students enroll in six credits of course work and will receive tuition remission for those credits as well as a stipend of $2,500 for the academic year. Full-time graduate assistants are not allowed to hold other on-campus employment simultaneously. Part-time graduate assistants may work on-campus a maximum of 10 hours per week in addition to holding an assistantship.
Maintaining graduate assistantships requires students to demonstrate both satisfactory performances in meeting assigned hours, dates, and responsibility, as well as good academic standing. Students holding graduate assistantships who fail to maintain good academic standing (minimum GPA of 3.0) will have their assistantships revoked or will not have them renewed. This policy includes courses taken during summer sessions. Full-time graduate assistantships are given for a maximum of four semesters. Half-time assistantships may be granted for up to eight semesters.
International students seeking admission to a master's degree program must complete an admission application via the online Graduate Admissions Application. For up-to-date information on the requirements, please visit the Center for International Programs website.
A non-degree student may be admitted to take a workshop or other credit-bearing class. Non-degree students may schedule up to nine credits of course work on a non-matriculated basis. Students taking courses under this policy are expected to meet the minimum GPA required for graduate work and may need to seek permission prior to enrolling. Taking courses on a non-degree basis does not guarantee admission and credits earned may not necessarily be applied to a degree program at a later date. Additional course work may be taken only after the student has applied and been accepted as a matriculated student into the MPH Program. Students taking only special courses, such as workshops, are the exception to this rule. Courses taken under non-degree status may not necessarily be applied to degree programs at a later date. Students should begin the formal application process immediately after they have decided to pursue a graduate degree at West Chester University.
Only West Chester University undergraduate students are eligible for the MPH Fast Track program.
Here are the eligibility requirements:
Students may choose one of the following tracks within the MPH Program: Community Health, Health Care Management, Environmental Health,and Nutrition.
The MPH Program draws a variety of students representing a wide array of health and non-health related undergraduate majors. The minimum requirements for the graduate program include:
Statistics Competency Examination: Students have the option of completing a Statistical Competency Examination (administered by the Department of Health, under the direction of Dr. Stacie Metz). This exam is scheduled at the start of fall/spring semesters. A score of 85 or better will be accepted as a replacement for the undergraduate statistics requirement. This option should only be considered if the student has previous experience with introductory statistics through other courses that may not appear on the transcript as traditional statistics courses. If students are considering this option, please contact Dr. Stacie Metz (email: firstname.lastname@example.com) for more information about the competency exam.
Students may begin the MPH Program (without the undergraduate statistics requirement) if other academic requirements are met, however students will be admitted under provisional status. To remove the provisional status and be eligible to register for HEA 520 and HEA526, proof of statistics course completion or the Statistics Competency Examination score is needed by submitting a copy of a transcript or score to the Department of Health and the Office of Graduate Studies.
Students who complete HEA520 and HEA526 without the undergraduate statistics course will not able to obtain Degree Candidacy and will remain in provisional status. We strongly encourage students to complete this undergraduate course as soon as possible. If students do not obtain Degree Candidacy they will not be able to complete the degree.
The nutrition curriculum within the MPH Program requires specialization in nutrition and dietetics in addition to public health fundamentals. For students who apply to the program without undergraduate training in the nutrition and dietetics field, the following prerequisite undergraduate courses must be completed prior to acceptance into the nutrition concentration: "C" or better grade in an introductory nutrition course, one year of anatomy/physiology, organic and biochemistry.
The MPH Nutrition Track does not prepare students to become Registered Dietitians. If students are interested in becoming Registered Dietitians please visit http://www.wcupa.edu/_academics/healthsciences/health/nutritionanddietetics/default.asp for information on WCU's Undergraduate Program in Dietetics.
All requirements for the master's degree including course work and the Applied Learning Experience I and II must be completed within six years of admission into the MPH Program. It is important to note that MPH Track advising sheets offer two course rotations to complete the degree within two or three years. Students do have the option of taking one course a semester but this may take up to six years for program completion.
If you have any additional questions about the MPH program, please contact Dr. Lynn Carson, MPH Program Director, at firstname.lastname@example.com.

The flap about trace amounts of arsenic in apple juice has nutrition experts talking about other health risks that juice may pose -- to waistlines and children's teeth.
The government says it is considering stricter limits on how much arsenic is allowed in apple juice after several consumer groups called on it to tighten standards.
However, nutrition experts say people should still be careful about how much apple juice they drink and give to children. Apple juice contains few natural nutrients, unless it is fortified. It has lots of calories. And in some cases, it has more sugar than soda.

The Red Sox have got their man in former pitching coach John Farrell. So why was he their top choice?
John Farrell to the Red Sox isn't a sure thing, but the process is one step closer to completion.
The Astros hired their new manager after interviewing Tim Bogar, but it wasn't Boston's bench coach who got the gig.
Ken Rosenthal thinks the Red Sox should look back in order to go forward at manager.
Bobby Valentine is the new manager of the Red Sox, and that's a good thing, even if you're a fan of advanced metrics.
Are Terry Francona and the Red Sox splitting up? And who is the one making that decision?

CHARLESTON, W.Va. (WSAZ) -- A new food inspection rating system is now in full effect.
On Friday, the Kanawha-Charleston Health Department kicked off its new rating system with the inspection of a Charleston restaurant.
Ratings will now be in colors and as words like "excellent" or "fair." Before the new system, ratings were grades.
Restaurants must now post inspection reports near the front entrance so the public can easily see.
Friday, inspectors checked refrigerators, under sinks, in restrooms and the dates of food in the restaurant.
"Well going from the old system to the new system, this will bring about public awareness," said Nasandra Wright with the Kanawha-Charleston Health Department. "This will help our residents make more informed choices as to where they eat."
The Wheelhouse restaurant along Bridge Road was the first to experience the new ratings.
"I'm excited," Wheelhouse owner Tina Vanbibber said. "We work very hard here to do what we do here and keep everything clean."
Wheelhouse received an excellent rating Friday.
"I'm proud of us, all of us, the whole Wheelhouse crew," Vanbibber said.
Starting Feb. 7, ratings will be available online.
Wright said the new round of investigations could take as long as a year. Since inspections are completely random, though, restaurant owners are told to be prepared.

The Clinton Herald
---- — CLINTON — Despite reservations from the community, the Clinton City Council has approved a $10.3 million Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) for the fiscal year 2015 budget.
During a public hearing Tuesday, three councilmen-elect expressed their opposition and concern with the CIP plan, saying they do not want to take on the responsibilities the current council is burdening them with.
"When the new council is seated, I myself will diligently try to convince my colleagues to take all this off. We need to start with a budget that is bare bones," councilman-elect Ed O'Neill said. "To drop $10 million in the 2015 budget is a lot to put around our necks."
Councilman-elect Grant Wilke agreed with O'Neill and added that although the city does need some kind of plan, approving the CIP is putting them into an even deeper financial hole that will be difficult to come out of.
"You do have to give them credit because we have not had a plan as far as I know, of where the city's going," Wilke said. "The problem I have though is with the money that we do not have, to vote on this. I think it's premature on putting this forward because I just don't think we can afford it."
However, the council members assured those concerned that although they approved the CIP, the city is not bound financially to any of the projects, and the future council will have the decision to move them forward or not.
"It's an important thing to do as a city, is plan where you're going and not just have knee-jerk reactions to everything that comes up," Ward 4 Councilman Paul Gassman said. "These are not commitments, these are ideas of what needs to be done in the future, when we can afford it, and all the new council that comes in will have the opportunity to vote on every one of those projects."
Despite Gassman's remarks, Councilman-elect Tom Determann still felt it would be fiscally irresponsible for the city to take on such a heavy 2015 budget while it is struggling with current debt.
"I think we're going to have a tough enough time to do the budget," Determann said.
The visitors on Tuesday were not the only ones concerned with the decision to approve the Capital Improvement Plan. Council members John Rowland and Julie Allesee also had reservations about the city's financial future.
"I think it sends a very mixed message to the public when we would approve tonight here the $10.3 million. I understand very well that it doesn't necessarily commit the council but in the packet it is very clear that it does put it into the budget so you're going to have to, through budget sessions, take it out," Rowland said.
The $10.3 million is part of an even larger, six-year plan for more than $67 million of capital improvement projects that was approved Tuesday.

How is your sleep?
~Joseph Campbell
Sleep is an essential part to managing chronic pain, and those who have difficulties should discuss this with their doctor.
I am on way less meds now than ever in my life and I am getting older and it gets quite painful from time to time and sleep only 3-4 hours a night.
I use to get Soma for spasms, and never had a problem with it...in fact was surprised that people abuse this drug.....but I am lucky now, 9 years later to get 15 Flexeril.......Just plain frustrated.
That was a very informative and interesting article to read.
My sleep is fairly good. I am not lucky enough to have a sleep number bed like Dave (but I drool over the commercials lol) but I get by with the bed we have and its old. We have patched it up by adding memory foam to the top. We need a new bed and I need to bump it up on our list of priorities.
I take morphine with valium before bedtime and the two together synergistically help a lot with the chronic pain in my back and I am able to get a deep restful sleep every night. I read in the article that morphine and codeine tend to prevent deep sleep or REM sleep but I don't think that phenomenon occurs with me as I wake up very rested each morning. The only bad thing is that the medication wears off. Even though I take the extended release form of morphine, I cannot sleep more than 10 hours. Most of the time I sleep between 7-9 hours. If I sleep 10 hours, it was a good night! My back begins to "wake up" as I call it at the 8 to 9 hour mark.
Before my pain was under control, I wouldn't get good sleep at all. I would toss and turn all night. It didn't matter how I slept, I was in pain and I would wake up with a higher pain intensity in the mornings. So, I truly believe lack of adequate sleep leads to more pain.
I sleep on my side with a pillow between my legs . I also have a pillow to keep my arm level with my shoulders and I make sure the pillow I place under my head is tucked underneath neck between my ear and shoulder. I sleep this way religiously and it has helped align my spine such that I wake up in less pain.
Are you aware that you can claim the Sleep Number bed or anything like that (hot tub, etc.) as a medical expense on your taxes? You have to pay for the item and then get a letter from your doctor that you need the item to help with pain relief, then include the full cost and any related supplies when you file your taxes. The letter from the doctor is best to have in the event you are audited. That really was the only way we justified the large expense in 2008 of the bed and the hot tub.
I didn't know that I could write it off as a medical expense on my taxes. If you don't mind telling, I would like to know the price tag of the sleep number bed. The never tell on the commercials. Is my estimate of $1500 in the right ball park? Thanks for the great info!
The best thing to do is to go to your Sleep Number store and try them out. It has proved to be a very good investment for us.
That is so nice of you to get your Dad one. I am sure is very happy and proud to have such a giving son like you.
We will definitely go to the sleep number store to check them out.
Have you tried any over-the-counter pain medicine? The non-steroidal anti-inflammatory meds are commonly recommended for arthritis.
There are also specialists who treat both of your problems.
Good luck.
Yes, you may write it off, if you have a prescription or other written documentation from a physican stating the "necessisty" of the bed.
If you do not and you claim the expense, should your return be investigated (audited), you will have to pay back any refund caused by that deduction plus penalties and intrest from the original filing date of the return.
This is true for ANY deductions claimed on ones tax return.
"You have to pay for the item and then get a letter from your doctor that you need the item to help with pain relief, then include the full cost and any related supplies when you file your taxes. The letter from the doctor is best to have in the event you are audited."
From now on I will change "best to have" to "absolutely necessary" for there is no confusion.
I can fully relate to what you're going through... Just got a new Dr. who switched the Soma I'd been taking for the past 6 yrs. to "Baclofen". I'd told her I won't be able to sleep w/out the Soma, but there's a big LOOPHOLE going on in the system... The DEA is coming down big time on people who take certain drugs, especially in combinations, & BTW: Hate Methadone users. One person I blame for this is "Anna Nicole Smith" for having a QUART of Methadone in her fridge. People in the lime light have infiltrated the minds of Dr's. & the DEA to the point your Dr's. license is at stake. My Dr. can't even prescribe a higher dose of one of my pain meds; why? Because I have to see a "Pain mgmt. Dr." 1st. My PCP Dr. is already telling me "Good Luck" getting what I need, & have been taking for a few yrs.[the only med that works>. Now w/Obama & his new HealthCare biz, who knows what's next? I've become so depressed over all this I've contemplated doing things I would of never thought of before... They're making it look like I'm some kind of "dope fiend" instead of someone in legitimate pain.I'ts not right, nor fair, & I think something needs to be done about it- but what? Let me know what you think, OK? Thanx, DawnnaBee

Staff Reports
The Tonawanda News
— Rep. Louise Slaughter introduced a bill on the House floor Thursday to halt the spread of Asian Carp from the Mississippi River into the Great Lakes system, following a surge in political pressure for expedited action by the U.S. Army Corp of Engineers.
Slaughter called the Stop Invasive Species Act "bipartisan legislation" that would speed the creation of an action plan to block the carp from entering local waterways through rivers and tributaries.
The congresswoman pointed to the economic benefits derived from lakes Erie and Ontario as well as the importance of the entire system as the largest source of fresh water on the planet.
"The Great Lakes make up 20 percent of the world's freshwater and we must do everything we can to protect them. In Western New York, we rely on the Great Lakes for fishing, shipping and recreation and the introduction of Asian carp could be devastating to the Lakes' ecosystem and regional economy," said Slaughter, a co-chair of the Congressional Great Lakes Task Force.
The Stop Invasive Species Act requires the U.S. Army Corp of Engineers to submit to Congress an expedited action plan with options for stopping Asian carp from penetrating the Great Lakes across 18 possible points of entry. The bill requires the Army Corp to submit a progress report to Congress and the President within 90 days of the law's enactment. The full plan would need to be completed within 18 months.
Under the Stop Invasive Species Act, the Army Corp would continue to examine modes of transportation across key waterways to ensure shipping could continue while mechanisms for preventing Asian carp from entering the Great Lakes are implemented.
The fish frequently enter waterways when ballast water from international freight ships is released. The carp are voracious eaters, consuming between 20 percent and 120 percent of its body weight each day, cleaning the water of plankton and other microbes that native fish require, essentially starving them of their food source.
"Time is a luxury we don't have which is why this legislation to expedite the protection of the Great Lakes from this damaging invasive species is so important."
Slaughter has repeatedly noted that once an invasive species such as Asian carp is allowed to take hold in any part of the Great Lakes system, it is only a matter of time until the species spreads to the rest of the lakes.
The bill is supported by the Great Lakes Commission, The Great Lakes Fishery Commission, Alliance for the Great Lakes, Healing our Waters Coalition, National Wildlife Federation and Trout Unlimited.
In January, Slaughter called on the Army Corps of Engineers to move quickly on a strategy to combat the threat of Asian carp armed with new information from a study analyzing various engineering options to separate the Great Lakes and Mississippi River basins in the Chicago Area Waterway System to prevent inter-basin movement of harmful aquatic invasive species, including Asian carp.
In a November letter to House Appropriations Committee leaders, Slaughter advocated for federal funding to protect the lakes.
"The lakes provide invaluable recreational opportunities and support shipping, fishing, boating and tourism industries that generate 1.5 million jobs and $62 billion in wages. Restoring the Great Lakes advances our regional strategy to create jobs, stimulate economic development and invest in freshwater resources and waterfront communities," the letter said.

I hardly can sleep well at night mamximam 4 or 5 hours but in the day time my sleep is much better after lunch.

Having a baby can be stressful. What can I do to feel better?
Morag Martindale
GP and expert in baby and women's health.
- Your new role as a mum.
- A different financial situation.
- Physical changes to your body.
- Relationship changes with your partner and family.
- Lack of sleep.
Being aware that you are stressed is one of the first steps towards dealing with it. Here are some ways to combat stress:
Rest when you can
Sleep deprivation will make your day harder to cope with, so try to catch up on sleep during your baby's daytime naps. If you can't nod off, why not make yourself a hot drink and curl up on the sofa.
If you are breastfeeding, put your baby's cot next to your bed, to make night feeds easier. Your partner could pass your baby to you for a feed, and burp and settle her afterwards. You could share night feeds with your partner if your baby will take a bottle of expressed breastmilk, or if you are formula feeding.
Eat a healthy, balanced diet
Eat regularly to keep your energy levels up. Slow-release carbohydrates, such as wholemeal bread, pasta and brown rice, will help to keep you going throughout the day.
Instead of saturated fats in foods such as butter, ready-meals and hard cheese, choose unsaturated versions, such as olive oil and avocados.
Eat foods rich in protein, such as lean meat and chicken, fish, eggs, beans and lentils. Try to aim for at least two portions of fish a week, including two portions of oily fish, such as salmon.
Eating plenty of fruit and vegetables will keep your immune system working well, and help you to feel better. It will also help to prevent postnatal constipation.
You could join a healthy eating club to get advice on making healthy food choices. Ask your midwife or health visitor for information about local groups.
It can be hard to find the time to cook when you have a baby. Aim for meals that are nutritious, but easy to prepare, such as a jacket potato with beans, or pasta with a simple tomato sauce. Try not to snack on sweet things. A handful of nuts, hummus or a piece of fruit are better choices than chocolate, when you get the munchies.
Keep using techniques that you learned at antenatal classes or at yoga, to keep muscle tension under control. Or try a wellbeing podcast from the Mental Health Foundation.
Exercise is good for your physical and mental wellbeing, and can give you more energy. It triggers the release of endorphins, your body's feel-good chemicals. You can start some gentle tummy and pelvic floor exercises straight away, as well as short walks, as you recover. Over time, you can build up your regime, but wait until you have had your postnatal check before you start strenuous exercise.
Find out if there are any postnatal exercise groups, aqua aerobics sessions or yoga classes in your area, but remember to tell the instructor that you have just had a baby.
Try going for a brisk walk with your baby in a pram or sling. Or try a postnatal exercise DVD, so you can exercise at home. But make sure it's endorsed by a professional association, such as the Guild of Pregnancy and Postnatal Exercise Instructors.
Make time for yourself
Ask a trusted friend or relative to sit with your baby, so you get some time off. Or you could swap babysitting duties with other mums for short spells. Remember, taking care of yourself is an essential part of taking care of your baby.
Talk about it
Sharing your worries with someone else is a great stress-buster. Unfortunately, communication is often the first thing to be neglected in a relationship, whether it's with your partner, family or friends.
Try to remember that the adjustments that you are making as a new parent will also be happening to your partner. Sharing your feelings can help to strengthen your partnership. At the end of each day, let go of the things that you didn't manage to do, and remind each other of the things that you did achieve.

Make a Charitable Donation from Your IRA by Jan. 31
Prior to Jan. 31, 2013, you can still make a gift that is applied to 2012 if you are 70 1/2 or older.
It is once again possible to make completely tax-free gifts from traditional IRA and Roth IRA accounts. Gifts for 2013 must be completed by Dec. 31, 2013.
On Jan. 1, 2013, Congress passed the American Taxpayer Relief Act of 2012, the primary purpose of which was to prevent scheduled tax increases for the vast majority of taxpayers. One example of note, Congress has restored the ability for many to make charitable gifts directly from IRA accounts, and you may still have the opportunity to contribute. The law also retroactively exempts from federal tax any gifts made to a charity, such as Pacific University, from an IRA account in 2012.
Pacific University
Consider a gift to Pacific University. To learn more visit Pacific University IRA Contribution or contact Jan Stricklin at 503-352-2890 or firstname.lastname@example.com.

Original recipe yields 12 servings
- Place meat in a large plastic bag. Combine 1/4 cup flour with 1/2 teaspoon salt; pour into the bag with the meat, and shake to coat.
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add stew meat, and cook until evenly browned on the outside. Transfer to a slow cooker along with the carrots, potatoes, parsley, and pepper. In a small bowl, stir together 2 cups of boiling water and dry soup mix; pour into the slow cooker.
- In the same skillet, melt butter and saute onions until softened; remove to the slow cooker. Pour red wine into the skillet, and stir to loosen browned bits of food on the bottom. Remove from heat, and pour into the slow cooker.
- Cover, and cook on High for 30 minutes. Reduce heat to Low, and cook for 6 hours, or until meat is fork tender. In a small bowl or cup, mix together 2 tablespoons flour with 1/4 cup warm water. Stir into stew, and cook uncovered for 15 minutes, or until thickened.

This is a wonderful recipe. Please don't be deterred by the "extra preparation" noted in some of the reviews. Every step is worth it, from browning the meat to deglazing the pan. This hearty and flavorful stew satisfied my family and dinner guests. Everyone went back for more. I followed the recipe as written, using merlot for the red wine because I like the rich flavor and Yukon Gold potatoes because I like their taste and texture and they were on hand for the Potato Fougasse (potato bread with olive oil and rosemary) I made to accompany the stew. They were wonderful together. Trust your instincts when thickening the stew once it is done. Some reviews complained about consistency but you really need to decide what it needs for yourself using more or less of a flour/water paste than indicated. Do what works for you. (And by the way, if you have extra merlot use it with the flour instead of water to thicken the stew to impart some extra flavor.)
Yum! This is a great basic recipe but I did make some changes. I marinated the beef in the wine and some minced garlic for a few hours (I made this on a weekend). I floured and fried in oil as directed. I omitted the onion soup and we didn't miss it at all, but I did use beef broth in place of the water. I added celery and mushrooms, and also tossed some peas in at the very end. I added a bay leaf and some thyme and a pinch of rosemary. Next time, I might add some tomato paste or diced tomatoes. Very tasty and hearty.
Added a little extra wine, worcestershire, and garlic powder like other users suggested, as well as a pinch of red pepper. I ended up cooking it for 1 1/2 hours on high heat and 3 on low to speed things up a bit, and it turned out great. This recipe is a real winner -- the meat was very tender and the gravy texture, perfect. Served it up to rave reviews. I'll definitely make this again!
