TransCanada natgas Mainline no substitute for Asian markets
By Ethan Lou
CALGARY, Alberta (Reuters) - Transcanada Corp's move to lower tolls for its Mainline pipe raises the competitiveness of Canadian natural gas for the near future, but access to Asian markets is the key to the long-term survival of the landlocked industry, industry insiders say.
Canada's C$45-billion ($34 billion) gas industry relies solely on North American demand and domestic producers have been increasingly squeezed from the lucrative eastern market by U.S. rivals who have lower transportation costs.
TransCanada said last week it will seek regulatory approval for a discount in tolls of nearly 50 percent for western Canadian producers to use the Mainline to send their output to markets in the east, a move that had broad industry support.
But the North American market will get crowded in the near future, with flat demand and increasing U.S. output, according to a report released on Monday by the Conference Board of Canada think tank. It painted a bleak outlook for the industry, projecting U.S. output to eat into Canadian market share.
The think-tank warns that U.S. pipelines including Energy Transfer Partners LP's Rover that target the same areas Mainline serves does not bode well for Canadian gas.
"This is a worrisome development for Canadian producers," according to the report.
Even with the Mainline, Canadian producers, whose product trades at a discount, still need to look to new markets in Asia, industry executives said.
Canadian Natural Resources Ltd, which will be a shipper on the Mainline, said while the lower toll is a "positive step," the company still supports accessing new markets. Continued...

bkuehn1952 says:
I'd design a course in Ann Arbor, MI, along the Huron River valley to utilize the elevation changes and water (and also so at $4.00+ a gallon I can afford to drive to it).
GBogey says:
I love links style courses although my game doesn't. I'd pick a southern locale and design the course around the tees most people play - 6300 - not around championship length that seldom see action.
cmuidiot says:
Build one in Miami-Dade, FL at the Everglades. Use the water (seaside sytle?) as an cost advantage for less fairway maintenance. Just need a tee box, a small landing area for a fairway, and greens. Bridges everywhere and the natural dangers of gators. If you don't want to use the bridges, rent an airboat instead of a golf cart that day.
lud5380 says:
Along the marginal way in Ogunquit, Maine. Links course.
wordent says:
If you could design a golf course, where would you design it (name of a city) and what style course would it be (example, mountain style)?
I would design a course in Sioux City, IA. It would be a links style course. We dont have enough opportunities to play links style golf around my parts!
birdieXris says:
I'd put one in Easton, pa. Make it a cheap, flat Muni so as to get more people to play in that area.
homermania says:
Can we open this to fantasy locales? I'd love to build Lunar Hills Golf Club on the moon.
Kurt the Knife says:
A cute little 3-par on Machu Picchu.
Kurt the Knife says:
@ homer
Yeah, then maybe my drives would carry more than 200yds.
GolferAnt says:
grand canyon golf course...i would get someone to help
bducharm says:
I would design a course in Antarctica, call it Southern Pole, indoor of course!!! Cost - $10,000 per round!!!
garthspaulding says:
downtown SF. Par 3 rooftop course complete with zip lines.
BAKE_DAWG40 says:
Links style course in Pyongyang, North Korea close enough to the DMZ so I could orientate the driving range toward it. If you set off a land mine with your golf ball you win a free round of golf. Pyongyand means "flatland" too. I like it.
wrhall02 says:
Mexico City needs a good public course, all are private & stupid expensive.
I wuld design a reasonably priced daily fee, very playable Mountain course. The elevation here is great. The ball flies!
Banker85 says:
Mokena IL across street from work. tree lined faiways, minimal water.
Blakevt says:
Piedmont/Mountains of VA, a walkable traditional style course that is resonably priced
CeeBee says:
Where is Hooters hdqrs? That's where it would be. 6200 from the tips. Walking only. Hooter babes as caddies and they are Mandatory. Must be 18 to even step on the course. Now I'll think about what type of course to build.
Duke of Hazards says:
There's a perfect 160 acre patch of hilly, California shrub land behind my house nestled in the middle of a bunch of housing communities that would be ideal for a golf course. Currently it's just a bunch of nature trails and wildlife and junk.
GolfSmith7 says:
In central park ny call it city view
theghost25 says:
somewhere in the Blue ridge mountains. Away from prying eyes and quiet!
theghost25 says:
Asheville NC forgot to name a city :(
mmontisano says:
a not so expensive public course here in Singapore that's near the sea with a linksy feel to it.
bsta93 says:
I would buy some land in northeast Ohio where a river meets Lake Erie. Instead of tree lines, the rough would be surrounded by grape vineyards and the clubhouse would double as a winery during the brutal winter months. During the summer and fall months, golf packages could be combined with sport fishing trips on the lake.
dtak84 says:
I would build a course on a huge flying platform and charge a fluctuating amount per round. Cost per round would be dictated by where in the world it's located. California, $400 per round. Uganda, free. And then everything in between. The schedule of the world tour would be known to no one but myself, so that people couldn't play trips ahead of time and play when the rate was super low.
dartboss04 says:
Anywhere but probably in the south...I'd build a Augusta replica open to the public...
pyjlee says:
A mountainous course in Vancouver, BC along the jagged cliffs by the Sea-to-Sky Highway...
DrLongballz says:
Lima, Peru. It would be a coastal course like Pebble but the mountains within view. That or a course around Machu Pichu and the Incan ruins
legitimatebeef says:
Have to agree with Golfsmith7--Central Park NYC. It's a great fantasy--a lighted 18-hole pitch and putt that's open late. New Yorkers are in need of more healthy normal-people activities. There's nothing to do here except shop, eat and drink.
dooboo says:
Will design a course in Houston, TX (since that is where I live), and since it is flat land, I would go for the Link style course. Something US players are not used to playing, would be a good addition.

But bosses at their European HQ, in RAF Mildenhall, Suffolk, have been left red-faced after a chaff canister fell off one of their aircraft.
The unit, which is designed to confuse enemy missiles and radar, plummeted to the ground from a MC-130H personnel and equipment carrier during a training mission on Monday.
Scroll down for more ...
Members of the public have been warned not to approach the square cannister or to use mobile phones nearby in case they trigger explosive charges which expel bundles of metal chaff.
To add to the U.S. Air Force's discomfort, the crew have no idea where they lost it. All air chiefs could confirm was that it was somewhere 'along the greater part of the UK coastal perimeter'.
It is the second embarrassing incident this month for the USAF at their base in Mildenhall. Last week mobile phone footage posted on YouTube showed an airmen apparently taking drugs in the barracks and another brandishing a Samurai sword.
A spokesman said yesterday: 'The chaff canister does not contain flares. It does, however, contain small bundles of metallic chaff and small explosive charges.
'There are hazards associated with it. For safety reasons, do not attempt to handle or manoeuvre the canister if found.'
During its mission, the aircraft travelled west from RAF Mildenhall to Wales, north over Colwyn Bay and past the Lake District to the electronic warfare tactics range at RAF Spadeadam in Cumbria before returning to base via Leeming in North Yorkshire, and Conningsby, Lincolnshire.
It was not clear how the box-shaped chaff unit, which is just under eight inches long, became detached.
The crew reported the loss immediately upon their return and an appeal was put out by Suffolk police.
A police spokesman said: 'The aircraft course took it along the greater part of the UK coastal perimeter.
'Officials urge anyone finding objects with government markings to please report the find to their local constabulary.
'For safety reasons, do not handle the chaff module or attempt to move it. Do not use any electrical transmitting devices, such as mobile phones, within 35ft or 10 metres of the item.'
The MC-130H Combat Talon II is one of several aircraft used by the 352nd SOG in operations across Europe, Africa and the Middle East.
It has state-of-the-art equipment which allows it to penetrate hostile airspace at low altitudes and crews are specially trained in night and adverse weather conditions.
One-third of all airdrops in the first three weeks of Operation Desert Storm in the 1990 Gulf War were provided by the plane and another model, the MC-130E Talon I.
It was also used to drop leaflets as part of the Allies' psychological warfare and in combat search and rescue missions.

This guest post is written by Microsoft Partner PTC, the Product Development Company.
The company I work for, PTC, along with Microsoft, has a vested interest in "social" in the enterprise – PTC's product, Windchill SocialLink, leverages social computing enabled by Microsoft SharePoint 2010 to bring the collective wisdom of communities to bear on product development challenges.
As a result, we're very interested in continuing a discussion within the manufacturing industry about how web 2.0 technologies impact product development processes, and how social, in a variety of forms, can bring value to enterprises of all sizes. While it may seem to the younger generations (cough-ahem-cough) that social technology has been around…forever…the relative newness of social means a lot of ongoing, interesting, and sometimes heated debate on what social means to business, why companies should consider investing in it, how it will be used, and what it will look like in the future.
It also means that the lexicon related to business-ready social is constantly developing. For example, some people think of social in product development as simply synonymous with crowdsourcing. If you haven't heard the term crowdsourcing, the Wikipedia definition is: "the act of outsourcing tasks, traditionally performed by an employee or contractor, to a large group of people or community (a crowd), through an open call." Now, if my title includes anything related to product development, this definition might make me a bit nervous. After all, crowdsourcing in its traditional interpretation seems to be about finding an alternative to your product development team. And if I'm a manufacturer, I might fret about a brave new world where crowdsourcing rules and innovation is outsourced. After all, creative IP developing solely outside of a company seems to bring with it some inevitable questions about differentiation and competition based on anything other than price.
For PTC, the application of social as a medium for feedback is interesting – but it's not our definition of Social Product Development. Certainly, understanding your customer likes, dislikes, and wishes is an important input into innovation, and customer satisfaction. But that's not the same as relying on your customers to actually do the innovating. The core assumption of crowdsourcing is that you are choosing the unqualified crowd over a skilled product development team. I'm going to hazard a guess that, as a manufacturer, you've chosen your R&D team for a reason – you think they're smart, you think they're qualified, and you think they're capable of new ideas that will move your company forward. Right? With this in mind, it makes sense to me that the promise of social computing is in its ability to give these experts additional tools – to help them collaborate in ways they weren't previously able, with a level of access to your community of experts they couldn't previously achieve.
So here's where Social Product Development and crowdsourcing do agree – people are important. Social tools allow a wider pool of people to contribute to product development. And widening the pool of people that can contribute to product development can have a positive impact. The key for Social Product Development is defining and qualifying your crowd, perhaps by granting or limiting access, creating relationships between contributed content and contributor experience and skills, or establishing communities of practice for functional-specific collaboration.
I'd love to hear your thoughts – what do you think social means to product development? You can comment here or at the PTC blog, or you can find me on Twitter: @edaly8198.

She doesn't die (they tell him, on the fourth day, his knuckles turning white and his fingernails making red half-moon marks into his palm, his eyebrows furrowed into points, a perpetual worry wrinkle on his brow).
She does live. She's still Quinn, somewhere inside there, a mess of broken bones and bruises and open wounds. Somewhere in that body is Quinn Fabray. He can't find her, but he knows she's there.
They shaved part of her head where they had to stop the blood flow, and one leg is whisked high into the air at an uncomfortable angle. Her eyes are closed, but the monitor is reassuring him she's still okay, just sleeping, her cracked lips formed into a loose pout and her hair in a disarray on her pillow. He said he was family, and they knew he wasn't, but they let him go anyway, let him watch her.
She wakes up, eventually, and she says his name, and she mumbles, "What're you doing?" through the obstruction in her throat caused by the pain medication they've doped her up on.
"Making sure you're alive." The words feel funny on his tongue and for some reason he feels like crying.
"I'm fine," she says, too fast and too breathless, and the monitor shows the tiny blip of her heartbeat, and he wants to cry so much that he thinks he will, and he does.
And she says, "Oh my God," and gives him a look like he's insane and he is and she starts crying too and that's how they start talking again.
She wants her homework delivered to her pronto, all the time. "I can't let a few broken bones —"
"Twelve broken bones, including your ribcage, a fracture in your —"
"— get in the way of Yale."
He huffs. He wants to graduate too, so he gets it, kind of, but he feels like he'll be the one graduating with the minimum grade-point average, just enough to ensure him a spot in the military. She'll be graduating with her four-point-fucking-oh and whisking off far away to New Haven, far away from Lima. That's the point. Maybe it always has been.
Watching Quinn work is terrifying, in the best way; watching her sloppy handwriting due to the brace on her wrist is heartbreaking, specifically the way she struggles to write in her neat calligraphy and simply can't. He hasn't yelled at her about the whole "texting-while-driving" thing, and he keeps trying to find the right time.
She ends up on the news (of course). The world never stops loving Quinn Fabray, and he gets it, because he has a hard time not doing so, too. She secretly likes the attention. She hates that she's an after-school special for freshmen about to get their licenses, a cautionary tale, but she likes that the flowers haven't stopped coming and people haven't forgotten about her yet.
Puck visits her every day, because he has no choice not to, and also because his life is a miserable existence and she's been ruling it since day one.
He ends up never really yelling at her about texting while driving, and she never really acts like it was her fault, always grumbling about the truck that hit her like she wasn't in the wrong, and he rolls his eyes fondly and somewhere in the back of his mind, "some things never change."
She spends a full month in the hospital after she wakes up, including another couple weeks because she can't quite let go of the pain medication. She rolls out on a wheelchair — they tell her she won't be able to walk for another couple months, and she complains about not being able to graduate on her own two feet, when Artie's not around to hear her — and makes him carry all her wilting flowers and over-sized teddies and makes him drive her home, too.
Puck kind of feels like he owes her all this, owes her the attention she wants from him, owes her the devotion and the slavery too. He fucked up big-time with Shelby, fucked up big with Quinn, made everything worse when all he wanted was to make things better.
She was broken on the inside just a few months ago, the kind of sick you can't see. Now she's hurt on the outside. Her bandages need changing, her bruises need tender care, her leg needs resting. She'll be bed-ridden for another few weeks.
Quinn Fabray is a busybody. She hates sitting still. Even when she was pregnant, waddling around with a stomach the size of three bowling balls, she always had something to do. Something to take care of.
Now she can't. Puck does all that stuff for her. Brings her the homework, gossips about glee, complains about Blaine, complains about Schue.
She has a look like sadness in her eyes because all she wanted to do was graduate with everyone else, and now she's worried she'll be lagging behind in a wheelchair, or bed-ridden, even, and Yale might not even want someone so broken on the outside; inside, too.
Puck doesn't hold her, doesn't even touch her, in fear of dislodging a bandage or pressing on a bruise, but he smiles at her and tells her not to worry, it'll all turn out fine, and she probably doesn't believe him but she smiles like she does, right back.
"Tell me why I loved you."
She is super doped up on that pain medication; her speech is slurred and her eyes are flickering, but the question comes out pretty genuine and curious, so he answers:
"I dunno." Because he can't imagine why.
She hums, tucks her blanket up under her chin. "I think I loved you most," she says, and she sounds honest, and Puck hates the way his heart falters, wishes he wasn't so close to her on the side of the bed. "Out of all of them. Definitely you."
He doesn't ask why, kind of scared of the answer. "That's, ah — good to hear. Thanks."
Quinn's not even this chatty when she's tipsy; the thought kind of explodes in his head. She's definitely in a mood, a weird one, and maybe it's the pills or maybe it's the fact that he hasn't gone a day without visiting her at least once since she got released from the hospital. Maybe she's eternally grateful for his surprising loyalty and she feels she owes him honesty.
For some reason, that sort of sits bitter in his throat. She goes on, "I think Finn really loves Rachel, and Sam —" She stops, as if she forgot what she was going to say, then continues: "And you liked me most."
"You're like, the coolest fuckin' girl I've ever met." He used to think that about her freshmen year, the year she sort of burst into his life in a red uniform and a scraped-high ponytail. The unattainable. Now she's simply Quinn Fabray. Smart and loyal and kind and careful. And broken, more ways than one.
She falls asleep to the sound of his breath, and he stays with her for another hour, waiting for her to respond to the non-confession, but she stays asleep, and maybe it was the drugs talking the entire time.
Graduation is only a few weeks away and her legs are still wobbly.
She swears a couple times under her breath and holds onto his shoulder for support, her nails digging into his skin. He winces with pain but hides it, balancing on one leg, hand clenched over hers. She's determined to be able to walk up to the podium to get her diploma. Quinn Fabray generally always gets what she works for.
"I won't be able to do it," she complains, her voice taking on that high-pitched whiny tone it does when she gives up on something. She used to do it a lot when she lived with him, telling him she was so tired of listening to Mozart, and it's not really gonna help the baby anyway.
He says, "Of course you will," and he believes it, but she rolls her eyes at him like you're just saying that.
Puck shrugs, rubs the bruised indents on his shoulder. "Try again tomorrow." She's already looking sleepy, the drugged-up kind of sleepy, and he probably should take the Xanax away from her before she starts getting crazy-addicted like his uncle did.
"Thanks, Puck," she says, softly, and she means it. There's a look in her eyes like genuine gratitude and something else he can't figure out, and won't be able to. She smiles at him, slow and off the mark, and he leaves without really saying goodbye, jacking the bottle of Xanax on his way out.
On the third day without her medication, she is totally up-and-at-'em, her nails making those scratches on his shoulder every day for two full weeks until she doesn't even need him there anymore. She can totally walk now, at least far enough to get her diploma, to get her ticket out of this bumfuck town, and that's something, at least.
Puck doesn't talk about the way it feels to know that in a couple weeks, she'll be waving goodbye to Lima and goodbye to Puck and everyone who's staying behind, and maybe in a few months she won't even remember why she loved him.
Puck doesn't remember why he loved her, either. It sort of happened. She came into his life in the weirdest way, her skirt hitched high up on her thighs, her eyes green, green, green above his, her hair in curls in his fingers. She was clever, and witty, and cruel in all the right ways. She made him wish he was better.
Now — he knows she's better. That she's clever enough to leave, to leave him and everyone else. He loved her because he knew that she was better than him, and he always yearned for the stars.
On the day before graduation, she makes like she's gonna kiss him, but she doesn't. Her lips touch the shell of his ear and she says, "Thank you so much," and the feeling of bile in his throat is like goodbye.
He's still fidgeting in his too-hot red-and-white gown, feeling like a total fucking idiot, and itching in the blazing sun, when they call her name up there. She wobbles a little unsteadily up the first few steps, and the crowd is hush-silent waiting for her to pick up the diploma, and when she grabs it outstretched in both hands, a quiet applause starts and then roars. She beams at them, at everyone, defying them with her smile, with her bruised cheeks and wrist-brace.
Puck has a funny feeling in his chest, like tightening and contracting, and he knows that he's probably gonna be sick, so he stumbles out of the group of people, while the crowd is still enamored with Quinn Fabray's retreating shape down the steps. He shoves past the other kids in their gowns and slips behind the bleachers.
After he vomits a couple times, he waits until they call his name —
"Noah Puckerman!"
Silence. An uneasy chatter in the crowd. Did he even get a diploma? Are you sure there hasn't been some mistake?
Puck rips off his gown and salutes goodbye to high school by stomping on it, grinding his heels into the ground like he's five years old. Fuck off, he made it. He graduated. He doesn't need a fucking slip of paper to prove it. He'll get it in the mail in a couple weeks, after Quinn leaves. After.
She does say goodbye, because she's Quinn, and she's predictable.
Mom's been out of town for the past week or so, and Sarah's sort of grown up now, so he doesn't really need to babysit her all that much, but he's still here. Maybe he'll never leave. He'll stay in Lima, marry a girl he doesn't really love (neither here nor there), have kids and raise them. Maybe it's all he's really worth; Quinn is so far above him that it's frightening.
"My plane leaves tomorrow," she explains, and she's smiling sort of sad and bittersweet because it's what she wants. And it's what he wants, too, for her. The bruises have started to fade into her pale complexion, and the clunky brace on her wrist has been replaced by a simple padding to hold it in place. She's healing. He never really had the chance to break.
"You'll do good things, Puck." She means it. He knows she does.
"I know." He doesn't believe her, but the sentiment is nice. He deserves good things, and she deserves better, and that's why they would never really work. He loved her because she was out of his league. She still is, and he still loves her, but the truth is just as disappointing.
She doesn't kiss him. For some reason, their final goodbye isn't as climatic as Puck thought it would be, or maybe she made him watch too many goddamn chick-flicks. There's no kiss in the rain, or crying, or pleas to stay. It's a simple agreement between two people who have grown up. It's a goodbye. It's promises to call and promises to visit that will be broken in time, and they both know it.
Puck says, "Good luck," and she nods and tells him the same, and when the door closes behind her, Puck doesn't cry at all.
He never leaves. Lima, that is. He marries a girl, a brunette he meets at community college, enlists in the military and goes away every couple years. When he comes back the second time, he has twin daughters waiting for him at home, and eventually, eventually, he forgets he loved Quinn Fabray. He forgets why he did. He forgets she was ever the one that got away.
He doesn't know how she did at Yale, if all her dreams came true, if she graduated at the top of her class. He doesn't know if she married and had children, if she became rich and successful.
When he's old and dying, he doesn't think of her once.

LONDONERS are reportedly being terrorised by a gang of hooded men who confiscate booze and order women to cover up in Muslim neighbourhoods.
Police launched an investigation into the group, who call themselves Muslim Patrol, after footage emerged showing the men in vigilante mode, the Daily Mail reports.

What are actinic keratoses (AKs) of the skin?

Actinic keratoses (plural of actinic keratosis) are growths of the skin that are caused by cumulative ultraviolet (UV) light exposure. These growths arise from a type of skin cell called the keratinocyte. Because actinic keratoses are caused by ultraviolet light exposure, they most frequently arise in areas of sun-exposed skin. When this type of growth occurs on the lips, it is called actinic cheilitis. Actinic keratoses are pre-cancers. A fraction of these growths turn into squamous cell carcinomas of the skin if left untreated.

How do actinic keratoses present?

Actinic keratoses can present in many different ways. They are often skin-colored, pink, red, tan or brown. They are often gritty in texture, reflecting heaped-up dead skin cells. They are most often located in the sun-exposed areas such as the face, ears, scalp, upper chest, forearms, and back of the hands.

How can actinic keratoses be prevented?

Because actinic keratoses are caused by ultraviolet radiation exposure, good sunscreen and sun protection measures can help prevent these growths. However, keep in mind that these growths are caused by cumulative ultraviolet radiation exposure so good daily sunscreen and sun protection will give you the maximal benefit in prevention.

How are actinic keratoses diagnosed?

Actinic keratoses are most commonly diagnosed by dermatologists (skin doctors). Most actinic keratoses can be diagnosed based on their appearance alone. However, actinic keratoses can sometimes mimic other growths including squamous cell carcinomas of the skin and seborrheic keratoses. Because treatment for these various growths is different, a sample of skin called a biopsy may be taken to definitively distinguish between these growths.

How are actinic keratoses treated?

Actinic keratoses may be treated in several different ways. When these growths are discrete, cryotherapy is commonly used. When there are many thin actinic keratoses clustered together, creams, photodynamic therapy or peels may be used to treat the entire "field" of actinic keratoses. Think of these as a treatment that gets rid of weeds when they are still on the ground. When the actinic keratosis is very scaly (called a hypertrophic actinic keratosis), electrodesiccation and curettage may be pursued.

Below is a summary of some of the treatments that may be used to treat actinic keratoses:

Cryotherapy – This is cold therapy. Typically, a liquid nitrogen spray is used to freeze the actinic keratosis. After the treatment, the spot is red. It may even blister and crust over after the treatment.

Creams or Gels – Commonly prescribed topical treatments include 5-fluorouracil (e.g. Efudex ® or Carac ®) or imiquimod (e.g. Aldara ®). 5- fluorouracil is a chemotherapeutic medication while imiquimod induces an enhanced immune response towards the actinic keratosis. A newer topical agent is ingenol mebutate gel which does not need to be applied for as long as the 5-fluorouracil or imiquimod. These creams or gels are often prescribed when there are many clustered actinic keratoses. Other creams and gels that may be prescribed include topical retinoids and diclofenac sodium. These latter topical therapies are not as effective and are less commonly prescribed as the primary treatment for actinic keratoses.

Photodynamic therapy (PDT) – Photodynamic therapy involves the application of a photosensitizing agent such as an aminolevulinic acid (e.g. Levulan Kerastick ®) which sits and soaks into the top layer of the skin. The skin is then exposed to a light which activates the photosensitizing agent. Redness and irritation are expected after the treatment. Photodynamic therapy is often used to treat a "field" of actinic keratoses as well.

Chemical peels – Chemical peels involve the application of a liquid such as trichloroacetic acid (TCA) to the area with the actinic keratoses. Because it can be applied over an area with multiple actinic keratoses, this treatment may be used as "field" therapy as well.

Electrodesiccation and Curettage (ED&C, EDC, ED+C) – The actinic keratosis is scraped away with a curette and an electric "needle" is used to treat the base of the growth.

Laser Surgery – A carbon dioxide or erbium YAG laser may be used to obliterate the actinic keratosis. This is a less commonly used treatment.

When should I be concerned or contact my physician?

If your actinic keratosis persists after treatment, let your physician know. Sometimes the actinic keratosis will require multiple treatments. Additionally, if the growth does not resolve, it may require further investigation into whether it is a skin cancer such as squamous cell carcinoma. If you develop excess redness, irritation, burning, swelling or other concerning symptoms after your treatment, also contact your physician.

Using social media negatively impacts body image, New Study Says
Body images and social media
Given social media ubiquity across cultures, doctors are trying to determine the consequences. And what they're finding isn't good: High social media use could cause serious body image issues.
A new study published in the Journal of the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics found that participants who were in the top quartile of social media users in terms of volume (higher than about two hours per day) and frequency (higher than about 60 visits per week) were more than twice as likely to develop negative body image issues than those in the bottom quartile.
In a nationally representative study, University of Pittsburgh researchers surveyed 1,765 young adults, ages 19-32 (the age group most likely to use social media) about their use of social media platforms like Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram, and websites with a similar social aspect, like Reddit and Youtube.
Social media and body image quotes
The researchers found that social media encourages the "propagation of stereotypes among peers" and increases the risk of developing harmful body image issues. Exposure to images and messages that promote what the study called "the thin ideal" may lead social media users to develop negative perceptions of their bodies.
These findings build upon another study cited by the researchers, which found that women who spend more time on Facebook "feel more concerned about their body" because they have a greater opportunity to compare themselves to others.
The study also points to the large presence of "pro-ana" groups on social media, where people (usually women) with eating disorders can find support and validation from their peers, as another reason social media has a strong connection to body image issues.
Body image and the media
For its part, Instagram attempted to curb the flow of images that idealize eating disorders like anorexia by banning any content with the hashtag "thinspiration" and "thinspo." However, as the study points out, this mandate is easily avoided by simply spelling the words with letters or symbols, like "th1nspo."
Furthermore, the study's authors make it clear that the connection between poor body image and social media use is "not confined to young women," writing that "men are not immune to media images of 'ideal' body shape."
With 90 percent of Internet users between 18 and 29, both men and women, using social media, this problem will surely only get worse.

Target: U.S. Ambassador to Chad, Mark Boulware
Goal: Create harsher penalties for poachers, and create more effective regulations protecting elephants
A brutal killing spree took place in Chad recently, when 86 elephants were slaughtered by poachers on horseback. Thirty-three of the slain elephants were pregnant females, making the massacre even more devastating. Poachers hacked out their ivory in the worst elephant killing spree since early 2012.
The demand for ivory has not abated, as it goes for $2,000 a kilogram on the Asian black market. Countries like Thailand and China still have thriving underground ivory markets, making poaching lucrative. The constant demand keeps elephants in constant danger.
The Central African elephant population is also rapidly shrinking. One of the last remaining elephant populations in Africa now faces the danger of extinction. It is estimated that 150,000 elephants lived in Central Africa 30 years ago. Today, that number is estimated to be only 2,000. In order to protect the elephants, justice must be dealt to the poachers who have been driving down the elephant population. Those who poach must be punished, and there must be stricter laws protecting the elephants. Demand that these animals are given the opportunity to survive.
Dear Ambassador Boulware,
The elephant population in Chad is rapidly declining, and the loss of these magnificent animals would be devastating. They face threats on all sides, and some of these are out of human control. Others, however, could be fixed with government intervention and more effective legislation. The poaching that intermittently takes the lives of dozens of elephants needs to be stopped, and in order for that to happen, there must be punishments so harsh that the potential risks outweigh the potential profit made from ivory.
The punishments dealt to poachers must be carried out as well. When a number of elephants are killed, every effort must be made to hunt down the poachers and show the country that only punishment will come from committing such a crime. It is the government's duty to create such legislation, and the U.S. must negotiate with Chad to begin the necessary dialogue required to create these regulations.
Elephants must also receive increased protection with harsher punishment not only for poachers, but for others who harm the elephants in other ways, whether it be by maiming them, disturbing them, or harming their habitats. As the elephant population dwindles, the governments in which their populations still reside must make an active effort to protect them. The U.S. must begin a discourse with Chad in which these issues are brought up in the hopes that they can be resolved.

I have been enjoying cold weather running a lot more lately. It is mostly because of how convenient it is for me. I can just walk out my door and run at a river trail. I don't have to pay a gym fee, and I get to stretch my legs and get fresh air.
An added bonus is that you don't really need any equipment to run except a pair of running shoes! Except in the winter and cold weather months, I find myself having to make sure I have plenty of warm running clothes, gloves, warmer socks, etc.
So, here are some cold weather running basics that I am loving right now. These running picks could be good for fall to winter! Disclaimer: I am not paid to talk about these products–it is all my honest opinion, but I make pennies from Amazon links in the post.
The Turtle
I recently discovered that "The Turtle" neck warmer still exists!!! I was thrilled to find it on Amazon. We wore these every single winter as kids growing up in New York. After I moved to Georgia, I didn't think about the turtle, but for running it could come in quite handy. I just ordered two in a lime green and aqua color!
I highly recommend "the turtle" because it keeps your neck and lower chin warm. You don't have to worry about the annoyance of it falling down like you do with scarves.
Sweaty Bands
This is not necessarily a cold weather kind of thing, but it is my new favorite exercise accessory for the moment. My Mom gifted me the one pictured below, and I wore it today for the first time today. It almost seems magical how this hair band does not slip and slide one bit. It stays perfectly in place, keeps sweat and hair out of your face, and does not hurt your head. Love it!
The only negative is that one hair band will cost you about $15 either online or you can usually find them at your local running store. You can also get a "mystery" sweaty band for $7.50. You won't know what color you are getting, but you save 50%.
I love how they have festive hair bands for the seasons! Haha.
TJ Maxx for Running Clothes
I DO NOT shop at specialty running stores because of the crazy insane prices. Instead, I go to TJ Maxx or an equivalent discount store where I get pretty much the same clothes for a small percentage of what it would normally cost. I also shop at the outlets to get similar pricing and excellent quality.
Here is what I picked up today:
Sadly, I lost my last running jacket. So, I got this new pink one for $30! I also bought another soft long sleeve shirt for $12, and some socks that are a little longer so that they will better cover my ankles in the cool months.
I have not yet bought a headlamp for running during these upcoming dark winter nights. However, the time change is coming soon! And that is what happens when you are a normal working person–you might have to run in the dark.
Anyway, I have never worn one of these, but most people have said they are excellent so long as you wear it over a hat or a fleece headband of some sort. This Petzl Tikkina 2 is only $20, so I might try it out. There are other brands and models that can cost you $70-$100 easily, but most people say the cheaper ones work for them just fine.
I have only run a few times in the dark, but it was in a parking lot or side street of some sort where I had to still worry about cars and car noises. I plan to run on a trail with a light so that I don't have to worry about the cars.
Do you run in the dark and cold?
I'd love to hear feedback since I am more of a comfortable temperature, daylight runner 😉

What should I do after getting top google rankings
posted in Blog, SEO Future, SEO Tips by Anup Batra
I get this question frequently from clients. What is the next step after getting top search engine rankings. I did some research over the last few months and these are the answers I found :
- You have the rankings, now start measuring how they convert to tangible business goals : e.g, increase in sales, reduction in cost/sale, improvement in profitability etc.
- Track how long people stay on your website, what % of visitors fill up online forms or call you up. Also Track what % of enquiries are converting into sales.
- If you are an online store, what % of the visitors make a purchase, at what stage do the people who leave without making a purchase abandon your store. This can help you to make improvements or increase visitor confidence at that stage
- Create persuasive copy, fresh testimonials etc on an ongoing basis. This will reinforce the confidence in your products or services. If you don't have the time or resources, hire an SEO Copywriter who will increase the appeal of your website content
- Elicit feedback and ideas from prospects and customers by providing forms on the website. Make sure these forms are easy to fill and easily found
- If you are selling complex products or services, provide a 'search' facility and a 'chat' facility
- Create an excitement about your products or services by bringing in specials, events, novelties. This will give your visitors a reason to return back to your website.
- Use RSS Feeds to syndicate your site content so that new updates get broadcasted across the internet fast
- Make your meta-description (these are the two lines that show just below the title tag) attractive. If you are an online store with new specials on a regular basis, mention that. If you are a service industry expert who offers an initial free consultation, mention that. This will get you more clicks for the same ranking.
- Put interactive tools on your website to engage your prospects and customers. e.g, savings calculator, home loan calculator, insurance calculator, diet profile etc. These tools can be developed easily and increase both traffic and visitor loyalty.

I woke up on Tuesday morning feeling quite emotional. My hips were aching, I'd been contracting on and off and I felt thoroughly fed up. I decided to ring the midwives and ask if they would consider doing a stretch and sweep, only to be told they wouldn't consider it before 40 weeks (I'd been told 39 the week before). I hung up the phone and burst into tears before finally pulling myself together and deciding that I needed to get out of the house for a while. I rang my friend's hair salon and made an appointment to go in and get a long over-due chop and to get my crazy eyebrows tamed at the first time. Good timing too because when I got home I started to have contractions again. I kept an eye on them for a few hours, but they were still fairly irregular. When I had an hour of them coming five minutes apart I decided to ring Fetal Assessment to get checked out. The husband and I headed up and the minute I set foot inside the place everything stopped, the midwife examined me and the conclusion was I had a UTI so all I could do was go home.
On Wednesday, the husband and I went for dinner as I was figuring it could be our last chance to do something before we became a family of six.
I felt very niggly that evening and certain that something was going to happen. I woke up several times in the night convinced my water had broken was about to break just to discover that, no, of course it hadn't.
On Thursday morning I looked around my bare kitchen (I hadn't managed to go grocery shopping the previous weekend so we were running on the dregs). I decided what I needed to do was a big shop and lots of batch cooking so the family would be well taken care of when I did eventually go into labour. I text my brother at about 2.30 to ask him if he could watch the little ones while I went to Tesco and I was sitting on the sofa waiting for his reply when I felt an almighty pop and a gush.
I'd been told to go to hospital straight away if my waters broke because of the GBS so I rang the husband to tell him he needed to come home from work. I started to panic a bit because I'd gotten behind on the laundry and the only trousers I had that were dry were the ones I was wearing when my waters went! The Squishy one was following me around while I was making phone calls and heard me telling the husband that my waters had broke and I was going to phone my mum, she looked at me all earnestly and asked "are you going to phone Granny so she can fix your waters?"
My waters have always gone in labour before so I couldn't believe how much there was! I left a trail from the kitchen, all down the hall and a huge puddle in the bathroom (Squishy at this point was following me with a mop!)
Once the husband and my mum got home, I managed to find a dry pair of leggings. I put on three pads to try and contain the never-ending fluid, and we headed up to fetal assessment. They examined me and said I was about 4cm. Contractions hadn't started yet so they wanted to take me to the labour ward and start me on the drip. I was just gobsmacked, everything I had read had led me to believe I could have a totally normal labour with the gbs, the only difference was I would need the antibiotics but now they wanted to stick me on the ctg for constant monitoring and were pushing for me to take syntocinon. I started to panic a bit, I had such a bad experience getting induced with my first, that drip is a hateful invention and I could just see the situation spiralling out of control. I said to them I wanted the chance for contractions to start on their own, and for the next two hours I had a parade of doctors and midwives coming in telling me how I was putting the baby at risk and it would probably turn transverse if I didn't start the drip and I needed to make a decision right now. They also left a student midwife in the room constantly so I could get bugger all privacy to discuss the options with the husband or my mum. I finally started to have contractions on my own but the machine wasn't really picking them up so the midwife was very dismissive that anything was happening at all, it probably took her an hour to believe me. They moved me to a different room and at that point they started to accept that I had gone into labour on my own and stopped hassling me about the drip. Being on the ctg was a total pain in the arse though, my movement was restricted and they kept shifting me around to pick up the heartbeat, in the end the put a clip on the baby's scalp. When the contractions did start they came thick and fast and I was holding on to the gas and air for dear life. I was sitting on the ball, holding the tubing and I found it really helpful at the height of a contraction to lift my head up. The entonox made me a little giggly, I got this image in my head that I must have looked and sounded like a trumpeting elephant every time I lifted my head up into the air.
It didn't seem like long before I started to shake and I said to the husband "I think I'm in transition", then I totally lost it. I had been kneeling over the back of the bed but suddenly I flipped myself over (apparently I almost fell out of the bed, it was just the judicious pressing of the husband's knee into the small of my back that stopped me hitting the floor). It took about two pushes that I had no control over and she was born with me letting out an almighty roar. I was just shaking repeating thank god that's over thank god that's over. I got the major shakes again and it took me about 20 minutes to calm down and stop shaking and gibbering.
Arya Beibhinn made her debut appearance at 9.20 pm on the 28th of June, weighing 7lbs exactly, after a recorded labour of 1hr 45 mins. She started feeding straight away and it seemed like not long passed before they moved me to the postnatal ward and chucked the husband out. I didn't sleep a wink on Thursday night even though Arya slept well, but I was just too wired and it was too noisy.
We are home now and settling in nicely. She's a little bit jaundiced so we are having some issues with her being quite sleepy and difficult to feed, but I feel so blessed to have her here.

I made this "I Love You Because"… DIY Valentine's Day gift for Don last year, but you can use it all year around, thanks to it being reusable — you can erase the note you wrote on the glass with a dry-erase pen over and over again.
This is definitely a cute gift for your boyfriend or husband, or you could decorate your home with it for Valentine's Day. Every family member can also use it to leave little love notes to each other.
Making this is super easy and only took me minutes.
"I Love You Because…" Frame Supplies:
- 1 page of scrapbook paper
- 1 page of vellum
- 1 dollar-store frame
- 1 heart-shaped foam sticker (optional)
- 1 dry erase marker
- Scissors
- Pencil
"I Love You Because…" Frame Tutorial:
- Put the glass on the page of paper you want as a background, trace around the glass with your pencil, and then cut it out.
- Hand-write or type "I you because" and add a few lines under it in a Word document. You could also just add the word "love" or find a clip art heart to add to the sentence. I used a foam sticker heart, or you could cut a heart out of craft paper.
- Print out that page on the vellum page and put the glass on top of that page. Trace around it and cut out the vellum.
- Add the heart-shaped sticker or craft paper to the vellum page to complete the sentence and put those two pages into the frame.
- Write a short love note on the outside of the glass with the dry erase marker and wrap up the frame as a Valentine's Day gift, or find a special spot for it in your home and encourage your family members to leave each other little love notes.
Have fun making this DIY Valentine's Day gift. What will your first love note be?

A happy birthday wish for all the Marines out there. Thanks for watching my flank!
Thanks! I only regret not going to the Marine Corps balls when I had the chance. [insert your own joke here]
They were crazy formal affairs and I only went to one ever.
*Stands up and salutes* Happy Birthday Marine Corps!
My old Navy friend posted a nice message this morning: "Happy Birthday, Jarheads... For 236 years, sailors have been keeping your wives and girlfriends 'warm'"
But seriously, happy birthday to the Marine Corps!
Happy Birthday Marines!
Ronald Reagan, I think, said it best: "Some people spend an entire lifetime wondering if they've made a difference to the world... The Marines don't have that problem."

Mike Nolan is out as defensive coordinator, replaced by Don "Wink" Martindale. One of the reasons the Broncos promoted Martindale from linebackers coach is they needed some sense of continuity. Whoever took over as Denver's defensive coordinator was going to be the fifth in the past five years. By tabbing Martindale, not much should change.
There are some changes, aside from the boilerplate offseason talk about the new coordinator being more aggressive. Denver could play more man defense, trying to create more turnovers, and Martindale could add in a few different blitzes, which might help free up Elvis Dumervil.
Martindale is a wild card himself, however. He has never been a NFL coordinator. His last coordinator job was 2003 at Western Kentucky University.
--Be dynamic on offense: Last year, the Broncos simply weren't an offense that could beat a team with one big play. They did a good job gaining yards, but most of their drives were long, grinding trips down the field.
The Broncos want to push the ball downfield more often in the passing game. They didn't do that last year relying on Brandon Marshall, who simply is not a great deep threat. The problem is there might not be a great deep threat on the roster, unless rookie first-round pick Demaryius Thomas can fill that role right away. He averaged 25.1 yards per catch at Georgia Tech last year, but not necessarily because he has blazing speed.
Big plays lacked in the running game, as well. Knowshon Moreno had just two runs of 20 yards or more, a startlingly low number for a player who was pretty good at breaking big gains in college. The Broncos think with another year of experience, Moreno can turn some moderate gains into huge plays.
--Fix the offensive line: If Ryan Clady, Ryan Harris and Russ Hochstein are all fully healthy by the season opener, the offensive line isn't much of a concern. But going into camp with 60 percent of the projected starting line dealing with various problems is far from ideal.
Clady is obviously the biggest concern. His knee injury, sustained playing basketball this offseason, could keep him out the entire preseason. The Broncos' hopes of getting Clady back by the season opener could be very optimistic, but not out of the question. The Broncos can't replace Clady, who is arguably one of the best left tackles in the NFL. He might be the best player on the roster. But Tyler Polumbus, or perhaps even rookie Zane Beadles if he goes back to tackle, have to prepare during camp for the possibility of starting the season opener.
Harris at least returned for some practice reps late in the offseason, but was limited. The toe injury he suffered was quite serious, and it's fair to wonder if he'll be back to his old self right away. Hochstein is yet another injury concern, coming off a knee injury. He started at left guard last year, but could start at center if the team decides rookie J.D. Walton isn't ready.
Getting the entire unit on the same page during camp will be a challenge considering all the injuries.
