Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Halve and core the pears and cut into 3/4-inch pieces. Heat 1 teaspoon of the olive oil in an ovenproof nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add the pears and cook, stirring occasionally, until beginning to brown, about 4 minutes. Transfer pan to the oven and continue cooking until the pears are softened, about 5-7 minutes more.
Meanwhile, whisk the mustard and vinegar in a small bowl. Gradually whisk in the 1/3 cup olive oil, starting with a few drops, and then adding the rest in a steady stream, to make a smooth, slightly thick dressing.
Toss the watercress , arugula and endive in a large bowl. Add the cheese and dressing to taste, season with salt and pepper, and toss gently. Toss the warm pears into the salad. Divide among 4 plates and serve immediately.

Benjelloun exit disappoints Hughes
The Moroccan was pictured signing a contract with the Egyptian side on their official website after failing to return for pre-season training at Easter Road. Benjelloun, whose compatriot Merouane Zemmama has returned, spent last season on loan at Belgian sides Charleroi and Roselare after falling out of favour under Mixu Paatelainen. "I know that he was given permission to talk to other clubs and I am disappointed that he didn't want to come back," Hughes told the Evening News. "I want to work with players who are committed and want to play for the jersey." Hughes will name his new captain on Wednesday following the departure of Rob Jones to Scunthorpe. Jones' former central defensive partner, Chris Hogg, is favourite for the role after wearing the armband during Saturday's 4-0 friendly victory over Dunfermline. And the 24-year-old is confident he will be up to the task. "I feel that the best way is to lead by example in any case so, if it happens, then it will be a natural progression for me," Hogg told the club's official website. "It would not faze me or change my approach in any way."

On February 8 (2012), eight young boys were slaughtered by American bombs as they tried to keep warm as they tended sheep. NATO apologized and excused themselves by saying, " "The decision to bomb this group was made because they were seen as adult-sized and moving in a tactical fashion", according to the New York Times. Relatives of the boys said that one boy was 12 and several others were younger. NATO countered this: "Our view is that initial assessment suggests them that they are closer to 15 to 16 with one older."
This is not an isolated event. While MWC News readers know this is not an isolated event, those that rely on mainstream media for their news probably don't know about this and the ongoing NATO atrocities that have been happening with disturbing regularity over the past number of years.
On February 4 The Bureau of Investigative Journalism issued a report entitled, "Obama terror drones: CIA tactics in Pakistan include targeting rescuers and funerals".
The report states that since Obama took office three years ago, "between 282 and 535 civilians have been credibly reported as killed including more than 60 children. A three month investigation including eye witness reports has found evidence that at least 50 civilians were killed in follow-up strikes when they had gone to help victims. More than 20 civilians have also been attacked in deliberate strikes on funerals and mourners."
The report also states that unmanned Predator or Reaper strikes occur in Pakistan averaging one every four days. John Brennan, the president's top counterterrorism adviser, argues that the US has the right to unilaterally strike terrorists anywhere in the world, not just what he called 'hot battlefields'. The targeting of rescuers after an initial attack as well as funerals is clearly a deliberate massacre of civilians.
Many legal experts disagree with Brennan. "Naz Modirzadeh, Associate Director of the Program on Humanitarian Policy and Conflict Research (HPCR) at Harvard University, said killing people at a rescue site may have no legal justification.
'Not to mince words here, if it is not in a situation of armed conflict, unless it falls into the very narrow area of imminent threat then it is an extra-judicial execution', she said. 'We don't even need to get to the nuance of who's who, and are people there for rescue or not. Because each death is illegal. Each death is a murder in that case.'
Between May 2009 and June 2011, at least fifteen attacks on rescuers were reported by credible news media, including the New York Times, CNN, Associated Press, ABC News and Al Jazeera.
Overall, there have been approximately 3,000 killed in drone strikes and 175 of those killed are reported to be children. Of 314 strikes, 262 were carried out by Obama.
The Crime
As human rights abuses go, as war crimes go, as crimes against humanity go, the dropping of bombs on populated areas is among the most egregious methods of mass murder in the history of humanity. Aside from recent drone attacks in Middle Eastern countries, many thousands have been slaughtered by NATO or American bombs in Vietnam, Laos, Cambodia, Iraq, Yugoslavia, Libya, Lebanon, Grenada, Yemen, Somalia, and Afghanistan and Pakistan.
Amnesty International, Human Rights Watch, and all the watchdogs that have the self appointed responsibility for raising the alarm about human rights abuses seem to overlook the dropping of bombs on civilians. They mention it when its status as a crime is not controversial but considering what is actually happening, perhaps it's fair to say they don't want to rock the American boat. The civilians that are killed in these bomb attacks are dead as surely as the Jews that died in Hitler's ovens. They live in terror as the people of New York felt on September 11, 2001 and they live with it on a daily basis.
If you compare this crime with torture, first degree murder, sex crimes or any conceivable crime, none can compare with the terror and suffering that accompanies the dropping of bombs on populated areas. Serial killers stalk, rape, and murder women and its front page news. Psychopaths cruelly carry out their nefarious deeds and it haunts our nightmares. Yet NATO murders as a matter of habit and we don't even notice.
The most outrageous act that has affected public consciousness in the West was the terrorist attacks on the twin towers in New York. That was the mother of all terrorist attacks. Those attacks have taken on an air of sanctity, of religious seriousness. There is not much argument from anywhere; those attacks were singularly brutal in their indiscriminate violence and they ripped through the collective consciousness of America. America has been changed by it and unfortunately, that change is not pretty. We are right to view this act with the horror and disgust that is the common reaction to them.
White House Mafia
The President of the United States recently carried out a 'hit' on Anwar al Awlaki. And what did he use to kill this American citizen? He used a bomb. He not only killed Awlaki but anybody that was in the vicinity. Did Obama care about anybody that was in the vicinity? No he did not. Did he care that he carried out an illegal murder of an American citizen?
A week later he killed Awlaki's 16 year old son, again with a bomb that killed anybody near the boy that might have been guilty of being Awlaki's son.
There is no member of organized crime families or street gangs that can come close to the psychopathic callousness found among those in the employ of the American state. Their lofty status does not make them immune from prosecution. Those that have attacked civilians and murdered them are guilty of war crimes. President Obama has joined an exclusive club. A club whose current members include but is not exclusive to Robert McNamara, Henry Kissinger, Bush Sr., Bush Jr., Cheney, Rumsfeld, Bill Clinton, Paul Wolfowitz.
Given the history, it's not much wonder we've come to expect the murder of civilians as par for the course. But when we consider the open boasting about the current savagery - as Obama basks in the limelight of extrajudicial murder, we may feel as if the most crude 'B' rated movies of late night TV, the movie where a mad man takes over the word, to be prophetic. We don't live in interesting times as much as we live in bizarre times.
To be fair, they do sometimes offer weak justifications for the ongoing mass murders. They will justify it and say that the terrorists are at fault for using human shields. That is why innocent people die. They imagine a scenario where the locals that are defending their invaded homeland (terrorists or 'insurgents) leave the home when the Americans approach, stand in the desert with an AK 47, and let the American bombs rain down on them as they shoot in the general direction of the planes that sail safely through the stratosphere and obliterate them.
Or, they may argue that terrorists live in the village and that the pragmatic utility of killing women and children justify getting the terrorists to save the lives of good clean 'White people'. When arguments are made in such a way, we know we are dealing with rationalizations that are not even vaguely connected to rationality.
In the coming months and years, it is likely that thousands of people; people that are now reading opinion pieces as you are reading this one, people that are being tucked into bed by their parents for a good night's sleep, people that are falling in love and people that are embarrassed because they said something silly, will be slaughtered by American or, NATO bombs. Those people will be guilty of being born in Iran.

This is the 2nd most disgusting BB cream I have ever used after Laura Mercier Foundation! Oily, smeary, greasy, just ugly. I thought I got a bad batch but I tried from different stores and everytime I just couldn't wait to wash it off. I wouldn't put this one on a problem skin, not even on a combination skin let alone oily or acne prone.
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
I used this cream and I didn't like it at all...it turns orange after few hours of being applied and if you touched your face you will have orange spots. It caused acne for my face too and made it even more oily.
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
Just purchased my second tube of this after the first one ran out. I was kind of hoping Garnier might have improved the formula in that time, but no such luck. It is very runny and can get quite messy, especially in summer. BUT it is actually a good product that suits my skin needs well. Good medium coverage, feels light on the skin. Blends away pores and blemishes (I have a few acne scars and this covers them quite naturally). It lasts a good while, I've tried other BB creams (Maybelline, Max Factor) that have made my skin break out but never had any trouble with this. Skin looks good all day, no discolouring. Has become a staple day to day product.
More reviews by kaileekitching
This product is absolutely amazing. It has medium to full coverage which is buildable once the product dries, matches my skin tone and has actually kept breakouts away. It has definitely improved my overall skin quality and stays on all day, though I do use a primer and moisturizer so that could attribute to how long wearing it is. The only real con's are that it takes forever to dry and its pricey for a bb cream, the Maybelline one is much cheaper. on the bright side though, it doesn't run out quickly. I've been using the same one for months and I feels like I've barely started using it.
I had originally tried the original, which left me super oily, didn't have much coverage. So when this came out, I got excited. I had originally decided to try it in the shade "medium dark" since normally I'm matched to the darkest colours in BB creams, foundations etc... So I bought it and at first I thought it was great colour match, however this product oxidizes and it left me looking like an Oompa Loompa. So I didn't use it again. I finally found the "light medium" shade and tried that. Perfect match after it sets. The coverage is must heavier than the original, almost medium to full. The consistency is a lot more liquidy, and leaves you with a natural looking finish. I don't use concealer when I use this, because I don't feel like I need it. However, this has it's cons as well. Because it is so liquidy, it leaves a mess in the cap after awhile, so I'm not a ran of the packaging. The product oxides so if you're able to try it and it looks like a perfect match at first, I'd
My skin: extremely oily/acne prone/light asian skin with a warm yellow tinge/i have acne scars and hyperpigmentation
Pros - affordable - easy to blend - natural - lasts all day - light to medium coverage ( you can get fuller coverage by using a brush, using your fingers will give you a more natural finish) - can double up as a concealer - does not go patchy (the longer i wear it, the nicer it looks) - velvet/natural finish - evens out skin - cover up most of my acne scars and hyperpigmentations -
Cons - can sometimes look orange (fix it by applying a whiter base powder over and it fixes the orange problem ) - oil control lasts for about 3 hours on me before i have to blot (I have extremely oily skin) - the liquidy formula can be messy as it spills from the bottle (but its nothing intolerable)
In general: I really love this product, I apply it with my fingers - a brush will give you a fuller coverage but it will look less natural, it lasts all day when i powder it. SOMETIMES (it has only happened like 3-5 times for me and I've used it for a year ) it can look orange but not often, but when it does i just apply a light-coloured finishing powder over the top and it fixes the problem. One bottle has lasted me for over a year, a little goes a long way.
If you have dry patches .. MOISTURISE, it can cling to dry patches but as you wear it and your natural oils come through, the dry patches disappear and you get a really beautiful velvet finish. The light colour matches me well, but sometimes in the winter it is a tinge dark (but nothing noticeable), so i just blend it down my neck and it looks fine.
I will definitely repurchase since it is afforable, great coverage and long-lasting - on the face and product wise. (Had my bottle for over a year and i still have a quarter of the bottle left).
The first day i bought this and put it on, it was... in a way... amazing. It gave good coverage,didnt run all over my face, and looked very natural. The next few days told a different story. It caused me major breakouts, large pimples on my cheek merged together creating this huge boil looking thing on face, a family of three on the other side of my cheek, and more on the side of my forehead. This was dissapointing, too good to be true.

This is my fav BB cream- My revlon colour stay is my fav. foundation but this is my second fav.
-Great coverage (light to medium)
-Doesn't make me oily
-Lasts pretty long for a BB cream
-Feels very light on the skin
-Looks natural
-Packing: I don't like the packing- its very liquidly formula and as soon as you open it, the product spills alot and I guess you waste product that way (tip- never store it the right way up)
-Only 2 shades! Cant believe they made only 2 shades- I use light but during winter it does get too dark for me and does have orange undertone.
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
I really like this bb cream. The first one I've tried and I'm obsessed. Doesn't cover up giant red spots but covers everything else and gives a flawless finish. My pores looked a lot smaller too.
I would say, light has a slight orange undertone and is pretty dark, so wouldn't be good for people who are porcelain or ivory skin tones.
I have dry skin with oilytzone in summer and it works so good for me. Definitly would recommend.

I love this BB cream! It gives enough coverage to hide any redness on my face WITHOUT covering up all my freckles, which are one of my favorite features. It stays put all day (even on a hot summer day) and doesn't oxidize on my face. I apply it with a stippling brush and the results are fabulous. You can't even tell up close that I have anything on my face! Overall, the formula is light and comfortable on the skin. You also get a considerable amount of product for the price! I will definitely be repurchasing this in the future and I would recommend this product to anyone who is looking for light coverage.

The United States, meanwhile, has led many nations to tighten sanctions on Iran and North Korea for their nuclear programs. But then, in a similar political move that sent shivers around Asia and into the Pentagon, China last week halted exports of "rare earth" minerals to Japanese high-tech industries in a dispute with Japan over a set of small islands. One Japanese official called China's action a "surprise attack," a phrase often used by the US for the 1941 Japanese bombing of Pearl Harbor.
What made China's retaliation so troubling is that it controls 97 percent of the world's production of these 17 exotic metallic elements, such as dysprosium. They contain unusual properties that are critical for making computers, TVs, smart bombs, fighter jets, battery-driven cars, wind turbines, and many other advanced products.
Over the past five years, Beijing has begun to slowly restrict rare-earth exports in order to force foreign manufacturers to set up industries in China, such as electric-car factories, even as the world's appetite for these elements has grown.
Using trade as a tool or weapon can easily get out of hand, especially if a country like China has little regard for maintaining the system that governs the global economy or seeks strong leverage over other nations' strategic industries and defenses. As former Chinese leader Jiang Zemin once said, China must use its advantage in rare-earth resources to create "economic superiority."
In October, the Pentagon plans to issue a report on how the US should respond to Chinese control of the rare-earth market. While China commands nearly all of the world's production, it has only about 57 percent of global reserves. The US used to be self-sufficient in rare-earth production. But it gave up production in 2002 when a Colorado company, Molycorp Minerals, was closed down because of cheaper exports from China. The company hopes to reopen in 2012 – if investors can be found. The process of extraction is costly, dirty, and dangerous.

Then pour the water from the 3 liter in the 5 liter. you now have 2 liter of water space left in the 5 liter jar.
You fill the 3 liter with water again
Then you pour water from the 3 liter container into the 5 liter comtainer
when the 5 liter is full you know you have ONE liter left in the 3 liter container.
Posted 26 December 2007 - 08:58 PM
Just curious. Why would you not just spill the 5 into the 3 catching the overspill both times? Seems the easiest to me.
Because what makes the riddle challenging is you don't have anything besides the 3 litre and 5 litre bowls to hold water in.
Posted 02 January 2008 - 05:35 PM
Then pour the water in bowl to 5litres bowl
Then fill the 3ltrs bowl again and pour the water in 5ltr bowl
they left 1ltr of water in 3ltr bowl.
Empty the 5ltr bowl and then pour the 1ltr in that bowl.Again fill the 3ltr bowl full of water.
Then pour the entire water in the 5ltr bowl.it will contain exact 4ltrs of water.

Fill the 5L bowl, then fill the 3L bowl with water out of the 5L bowl to leave 2L in the 5L bowl.
Dump the 3L bowl and pour the 2L of water from the 5L bowl into the 3L bowl. You now have 2L of water in the 3L bowl (room for 1 more)
Fill the 5L bowl again and then fill the 3L bowl with water out of the 5L bowl. Tadah!!! 5 - 1 = 4.

Pouring water I. - Back to the Water and Weighing Puzzles
If you had a 5-litre and a 3-litre bowl and access to water. How would you measure exactly 4 litres?Spoiler for Solution
That's a good answer but try measuring four liters without wasting any water. Assume there is a drought. The solution is possible.
Posted 05 February 2008 - 11:07 PM
I forgot to mention that you must assume that the bowls are the same sizea although not same in volume.That's a good answer but try measuring four liters without wasting any water. Assume there is a drought. The solution is possible.

Arizona Cardinals
Mock Draft: McShay has Cardinals taking quarterback
It's never too early to start thinking about the NFL Draft, especially if you're a fan of a team that's in the middle of a nine-game losing streak.
That's the boat Arizona Cardinals fans are in. And considering the woeful play the team has gotten from the quarterback position during the skid, fans will be happy with what ESPN/Scouts, Inc. draft expert Todd McShay has Arizona doing in his very early 2013 mock draft.
McShay has the Cardinals tabbing West Virginia signal caller Geno Smith with the eighth overall selection.
There is still a lot of work to do on the top quarterbacks, but the question at this point is how high a team will reach for the top player a the position. It's easy to argue the Cardinals need a quarterback as badly as any team in the NFL right now, and when Smith is on, his mechanics, footwork and confidence make him an effective passer.
Smith got off to a tremendous start in 2012, throwing for 1,996 yards with 24 touchdown passes and zero interceptions during the Mountaineers' 5-0 start. West Virginia finished the season 7-5 and Smith ended up throwing 40 touchdowns and finished fifth in the nation in passing efficiency.
Smith stands 6-foot-3 and weighs 214 pounds -- decent size for an NFL signal caller. McShay currently has Smith ranked as the top quarterback in the 2013 draft crop and 23rd-ranked player overall.
The Cardinals last drafted a quarterback in the first round in 2006, when they nabbed USC's Matt Leinart with the tenth overall pick.

Syracuse on upswing after inconsistent play |
Written by Admin |
Tuesday, 05 November 2013 12:31 |
SYRACUSE, N.Y. (AP) - In an up-and-down season, Syracuse remains on track to qualify for the postseason for the third time in four years. When the Orange (4-4, 2-2 Atlantic Coast Conference) have been up, they've been very good thanks to their defense. On Saturday, they'll face Maryland (5-3, 1-3). Two weeks after a 56-0 rout on the road by Georgia Tech's ground-chewing triple option, Syracuse rebounded after a bye week with a 13-0 win at home against Wake Forest last week. The Orange forced Wake Forest to punt 12 times, only one off the Syracuse team mark set in a 47-0 win at Holy Cross in 1968. Perhaps most impressive has been the defense's performance on third down. Opponents have converted just 37 of 123 attempts (30.1 percent), the eighth-best mark in the nation. |

10 Ways to Manage Fibromyalgia at Work
Learn How to Combat Pain and Stiffness

If you have fibromyalgia, the pain, stiffness and fatigue can be especially hard to handle during a long workday. Read these expert tips to hold your own with fibromyalgia at work without exhausting your sick leave...
Amy L. Szymanski constantly battled fatigue and muscle soreness when she was at work, making it difficult to get through the day.
Because of her condition, "I regularly feel like I'm coming down with the flu," says the Atlanta resident.
And that's when her fibromyalgia symptoms are mild. During severe flares, Szymanski has trouble concentrating and paying attention to details – which led to making mistakes on the job.
"I had to excuse myself, saying, 'I'm not feeling well today.' I eventually depleted my sick and vacation time. The worry led to increased stress, which then worsened my fibromyalgia."
If you're like Szymanski, you also may have a tough time handling fibromyalgia at work. The chronic disease can be discouraging.
"Not only do women have the typical on-the-job pressures and stress, they also worry about their fibromyalgia symptoms costing them income," says gynecologist Elizabeth Lyster, M.D., a fibromyalgia specialist at the Holtorf Medical Group in Foster City, Calif.
"But there are ways to manage fibromyalgia at work," Dr. Lyster says.
Here's how to beat fatigue, sidestep stress and soothe sore, stiff muscles from 9 to 5 and beyond.
1. Stay rested.
What you do the night before a work day has a big impact on the job. But sleep is one of the hardest things for a fibromyalgia patient to come by.
That's because pain and stiffness can make it difficult to get comfortable, and worrying about the condition can turn restful dreams into restless nightmares. "Sleep is one of the most important tools to manage fibromyalgia symptoms," says Stephen Soloway, M.D., a rheumatologist in Vineland, N.J.
Make sure you stick to a regular bedtime routine, he says.
"Going to sleep at the same time every night helps your body fall into a natural sleep/wake rhythm," he says.
This can also help you get just the right amount of zzz's – about eight hours per night.
"Too much can make it tough to get to sleep the next night," he says. "And less than that can leave you feeling sluggish in the morning."
If necessary, it's OK to make occasional use of natural sleep aids or a doctor-prescribed sleep medication, he says.
(For more tips, read our article
Losing Sleep Over Fibromyalgia?
2. Dress for the office climate.
"Cold can trigger inflammation, which increases pain and stiffness," Dr. Lyster says.
Even shivering can cause pain if you have fibromyalgia, she says.
So keep a sweater or wrap at work for days when you're feeling especially cold, or when the air conditioner is blowing too hard.
"Wear lightweight fabrics and dress in layers so you can stay comfortable no matter what the temperature," Dr. Lyster says. That way, you can add or subtract items as needed.
3. Cushion your feet.
Comfortable footwear can make a big difference. "Slip into sneakers or similar shoes whenever possible – like when you're at your desk. They'll keep your feet warm but properly supported," says Amy Rice, an administrator and physical therapist at the Center for Pain Management in Indianapolis.
Ballet flats with an insert for extra arch support (in case you have to walk around the office) help you look on-trend while being kind to your feet.
If your job requires that you stand for several hours, take "sit" breaks to rest your legs and back, Rice suggests.
And, if possible, stand on an ergonomic, or anti-fatigue, mat that absorbs some of the shock for an extra layer of cushioning.
4. Take regular breaks.
If you spend much of your day sitting behind a desk, take regular "movement breaks," Dr. Lyster advises.
"Change positions or stand up before you start experiencing pain," she says.
If you can comfortably sit for 30 minutes, get up from your desk and take a short break every 20 minutes. "This can help you break the cycle of working for hours [at a time] when you feel good, only to have to lay down for a day or two because you overdid it," Dr. Lyster says.
If you wait until you're feeling stiff to move around or change positions, it's too late – "your muscles are already inflamed and aggravated," she adds.
5. Stretch your muscles.
"Stretching helps ease the tension and stiffness in your muscles caused by fibromyalgia at work," Dr. Lyster says.
You should lightly stretch 3-4 times per day, "or whenever you feel stiff," says Melissa Gutierrez, a yoga instructor in New York City.
"Some simple modified yoga poses can help prevent your muscles from getting tight, whether you sit or stand all day at work," she says. This modified Downward-Facing Dog pose, which makes use of a wall in your office, can help you stretch out your stiff back as well as core (abdominal) muscles, hips and thigh muscles, Gutierrez says.
Start by facing a wall, standing about 3 feet away.
Stretch your arms out and lean toward the wall. Once your hands meet the wall, slide them down until they're at waist height and your torso is parallel to the floor.
Slide your feet back so they're under your hips, creating a 90-degree angle.
Push against the wall, stretch your back and breathe deeply. Hold long enough to take 1-2 slow, deep breaths.
6. Make your office fibro-friendly.
A few modifications to your workspace can help prevent fibromyalgia symptoms before they start.
"If you're on the phone a lot, use a headset to prevent neck strain and discomfort," Rice says. And make sure your computer monitor is directly in front of you, at eye level, adds Dr. Lyster.
A Styrofoam wedge or other lumbar support positioned by your lower back may ease pain when sitting, Rice says.
"Keep both feet flat on the floor and position your chair so that your work surface is at elbow height," she says.
7. Don't overdo things.
"You shouldn't push yourself to the brink of sheer exhaustion, where it feels like you want to collapse. That will increase the odds you'll be using a sick day the next morning," Dr. Soloway says.
If you have a special project due and have to work long hours, you may need to have a heart-to-heart with your boss.
"Explain that you're committed to the project, but need to pace yourself," says Cheryl Rezek, a clinical psychologist in Gerrards Cross, England, who specializes in stress management.
Don't be afraid to ask for help or to take tasks home in order to lighten your work day, and take frequent breaks while accomplishing your tasks.
Remember to talk to your boss as soon as the project's assigned, even if you feel fine.
"You never know how you'll feel closer to the project's due date, so you shouldn't gamble on being symptom-free while you're working all those long hours," Dr. Soloway says.
8. Rev up in the morning.
Start your day with a healthful breakfast geared toward sustaining energy – such as lean protein, oatmeal and fresh fruit, Dr. Lyster suggests.
And don't overdo the caffeine, notes Dr. Soloway. Stick to a single cup of coffee, and drink water to stay hydrated and alert throughout the day.
Then beat on-the-job fatigue by taking short breaks and changing your routine every hour or two.
"Take a walk around the office, do some light stretching or take a few slow, deep breaths to fill your lungs and blood with oxygen," Dr. Lyster says.
9. Keep heat on hand.
If your muscles get sore, 10 minutes of heat applied every hour will help relax and soothe them.
"A heating pad, heated rub or disposable, self-heating patch can provide short-term pain relief," Rice says. Plus you can use it under your desk if needed.
She recommends an inexpensive microwaveable heating pad – "that's great for quickly spot-treating sore areas with heat."
10. Manage your stress.
If left unchecked, stress can trigger fibromyalgia symptoms – even if what you're worried about is the condition itself, Rezek says.
"Stressing out about how your fibromyalgia is impacting your job, and whether your co-workers are questioning your abilities, leads to guilt over the possibility that you're letting them down," the psychologist says. That causes a vicious cycle of more guilt and stress.
Your support system can help you deal with the pressure caused by fibromyalgia at work, Rezek says.
"Talk to your family or a trusted friend, and vent about what's bothering you," she says. "Don't keep things bottled up."

I was just reading the mainpage post about the man sentenced to 14 years in prison for tricking a woman into taking an abortifacient which caused her to miscarry. Like everyone else (or almost everyone!) I'm horrified by his action.
But the comments got me thinking. One thing on which I really sympathize with MRAs is reproductive choice. Don't get me wrong – their idea that men should have the right to "financially abort" is wrongheaded for the simple reason that child support is about the child. But because of my staunchly pro-choice views, and because for me, personally, having a child is literally my worst nightmare (my most recurrent dream is realizing I am pregnant when it's too late to have an abortion, having fetuses crawling around inside me, etc.), I can't help but thank the God I don't believe in that I'm a woman, and thank SCOTUS that I, at least for now, have the legal right to end any pregnancy that happens in my body.
Sometimes I wonder how guys get up the courage to have sex, particularly slutty guys who don't want children. And so many of them do it without condoms. I have insisted on condoms more times than I can count, but I can't remember a single time when a guy brought it up first or insisted when I seemed lackadaisical. Why aren't they terrified of getting their one-night stands/friends/girlfriends/sex workers pregnant?
That said, sex is… well, sex. You know what it is. You know that when you want it, very little else seems to matter in the moment. The risk of pregnancy hasn't stopped me from having unprotected sex on occasion – but never did I forget, either, about my unspeakably precious legal right to abortion. But: when I've had unsafe sex, I did take the risk of contracting HIV or another STI. There's no $400, one-day, "cure" for that.
I certainly think that we should say to MRAs that if they don't want a baby they should insist on condoms and ask their partners about their views on abortion in case of accidental pregnancy. But I know all too well how the heat of the moment fucks with one's judgment. (We should not say to MRAs: if you're not prepared to support a child, don't have sex.)
I had an abortion in 2010. My inseminator, who was one of my closest friends, has never spoken to me since the day I told him I was pregnant. I hold him in utter contempt for that. But though he's a man I despise, I don't know how I feel about the idea of having had the baby in spite of my knowledge that he didn't want me to. I'm not judging women who do make this choice – in the end, a pregnant woman can and should do absolutely anything that she believes is right for her – but for me, personally, I think I would feel that I had deeply wronged a man if I had his baby against his wishes and especially if I then involved him in the form of child support or in any other way. I've had some odious sex partners, and the thought of one of them being my co-parent against my wishes is just… nauseating.
This is rambling, I'm sorry. I've had an awful day. I keep thinking of this terrible moment in my own life – crying outside Planned Parenthood. I'd signed in and then gone out for a cigarette while waiting for my appointment. And the protesters rushed up to me, because of course they thought I was crying because of guilt and second thoughts (I was crying because my asshole inseminator/ex-best friend wasn't there for me). But it was a terrible moment of seeing the pity and compassion in their eyes for this young woman who they thought was struggling with the choice of whether to murder her baby. (In their defense, my mumbled "not now" caused them to back up at once and give me space.)
Anyway, thoughts? Does anyone else sympathize with MRAs (or men in general) on this issue? I simply can't think of a worse thing than losing the choice to not be pregnant or be a parent, and I think it sucks massively for them that becoming a parent is out of their hands if the condom breaks or if they're too drunk/horny to use one.

NASA Makes Unprecedented Return To Mars, Advances Commercial Spaceflight And Adds To Its Amazing Research And Discoveries In 2012
NASA and its industry partners around the country also made swift progress on the Space Launch System (SLS) this year, testing and developing new components and improving on existing hardware. New construction on the largest rocket ever built is enabled by existing, proven technology, like the space shuttle main engines that will power the first stage of the rocket. The new J-2X engine, which is targeted to power the upper stage of the rocket, underwent a battery of tests that broke duration records and pushed the engine design to its limits.
The Orion, SLS, and Ground Systems Development and Operations programs also reached their critical milestones this year each with an approved system requirement review and system definition review. Those pivotal steps allowed these programs to move from concept into its preliminary design phase and all remain on target for its first flight test in 2017.
Using NASA's Hubble Space Telescope, astronomers announced Dec. 12 they have seen further back in time than ever before and have uncovered a previously unseen population of seven primitive galaxies that formed more than 13 billion years ago, when the universe was less than 3 percent of its present age. The deepest images to date from Hubble yield the first statistically robust sample of galaxies that tells how abundant they were close to the era when galaxies first formed. The greater depth of the new Hubble images, together with a carefully designed survey strategy, allows this work to go further than previous studies, thereby providing what researchers say is the first reliable galaxy census of this epoch. Notably, one of the galaxies may be a distance record breaker, observed 380 million years after the birth of our universe in the theorized big bang.Check Out Our Best Services for Investors

Chalet Virage, Meribel
- Mumsnet Reviews

Your Reviews
"I returned one week ago from a skiing holiday with…"
I returned one week ago from a skiing holiday with my three children with Meriski in Meribel. This was our third time with Meriski in three consecutive years and we were blessed this year with perfect snow and lots of wonderful sunshine.
Meriski was an independent ski holiday company bought by Four Winds Resorts 4 years ago and has been running successfully in Meribel for the last 23 years.
Meribel is a supremely family friendly resort; picturesque, safe, never too crowded and with plenty of choice in terms of bars, restaurants and cafes. It is situated at the heart of the 3 Valleys ski area which includes Courchevel, Les Menuires and Val Thorens and is the largest ski area in the world and, arguably, the most beautiful. After 5 years going to Meribel, I have probably not even skied half of it yet!
We stayed in Meriski's Chalet Virage, a new addition this year to Meriski's portfolio of chalets. It is a large, spacious chalet which can accommodate 4/5 families or 16 plus guests. Unlike some of Meriski's other chalets which must be booked as a whole, individual rooms can be booked at Chalet Virage. This is never a concern for me as the other guests are invariably nice and usually have children for mine to play with.
The Chalet has fantastic views over the mountainside but is barely a 5 minute walk into Meribel village. It has a Games Room downstairs with TV, DVD player, Wi-Fi and i-Pod docking station, a laundry room, sauna and shower-room and ski and boot room with heated boot rack. Upstairs there is a large lounge/dining area with a TV, DVD and CD players, a massive table, leather sofas and a centrally positioned wood-burning fireplace which makes the room very warm and welcoming in the evening. Outside, there is a large sunny balcony for relaxing and taking a dip in the wonderful hot tub; a luxury I now fear my children will regard as a necessity having insisted on going in it every afternoon after skiing and having lots of fun with the other children staying in the chalet. The bedrooms in the chalet are warm and cosy and pleasantly decorated each with an en suite bathroom and balcony.

Agitation against privatisation process to be intensified next week, staff said
The protest by employees of the Airports Authority Employees Union (AAEU) continued at Chennai airport on Wednesday and plans are afoot to intensify it, employees said.
There was high drama at the airport on Tuesday, when representatives from companies planning to bid for the privatization process arrived for a visit.
Over 500 airport employees barged into the terminal and prevented the bidders from entering. None of them were able to see the terminals, and went back disappointed.
"We will continue to protest till our demand is fulfilled. Next week, we will strengthen our protest by organising candlelight demonstration and a human chain," said an AAEU member.
Airport officials said they would work on contingency plans in case the employees decided to go on mass leave.
"We have not decided as yet. But if there is a mass leave situation, we will work on making alternative arrangements sometime next week," said an official.
Several employees of the airport have been wearing black ribbons and staging black flag demonstrations for over a month now after the government announced the invitation of bids for the privatisation of Chennai airport.

So, we just ordered all the materials to convert our back porch (300 sq ft) into a sun room kinda thing. Glass doors all round, bamboo floor etc. I'm not really looking forward to doing the work, but I AM looking forward to sitting in it. Also, we just bought a small antique desk that I have to restore so that I can do my work from home at it in the new sun room. I'm not looking to restoring that either, but I AM looking forward to using it. Anyways, we went garage saling today, and funnily enough we hit two in a row that had kegerators for sale. Neither were much good for the price, but I had thought of buying one just to put in the fruit cellar away from view as it was kinda tatty........THEN.....My wife......The one who is not over keen on my hobby. (I brew when she is at work just so she doesn't have to see me doing it)............She says "Why not build a bar?" WTF!!!?? The voice in my head jumped in immediately. "Play this one calmly, you don't want to blow it, Trev" (I don't call myself Gnome in my own head) So I tell her that I suppose I could dedicate a corner to it, hide it inside some cabinets so you hardly know it's a bar. "No" she says. "I meant one with a sink and stuff, that you can walk behind. I want to be able to use that pub stuff they gave me when we were in England" Wooohooo! So when I get the sunroom done, I get to put a bar in it!! It has obviously not occurred to her yet that I will actually doing my day job within staggering distance of easy beer access, but I'm hoping it gets finished before she realises!
I'm ecstatic for you! Build quickly!
"For beer, that's not what 'import' means. For beer, import just means better."

It's D.C. as it is, a Vanity Fair of skyboxes, name-dropping, and $130 Sushi Taro lunches. Few lobbyists have their own restaurant, as Abramoff did. But many might relate to that twinge of panic when it's the end of the month, and the checks don't seem to be rolling in.
"Our pool is getting shallow - we need to reload my man!" Scanlon e-mailed Abramoff in September 2002.
* * *
Let's start with what might be called The Great Circle of Influence. It's a basic procedure whereby lobbyists obtain access for their clients, and it's well illustrated by the connections that occurred at the Council of Republicans for Environmental Advocacy (CREA) dinner on Sept. 24, 2001.
There's no evidence that either the CREA group or any of its officials have done anything illegal in conjunction with Abramoff. Ms. Federici strongly defended her innocence in an appearance before the Senate Indian Affairs Committee last November, saying she had been subject to Abramoff's manipulations.
But in 2001, with the Bush administration still new, Federici held a card of value: Top GOP officials would show up if she asked. Secretary Norton had helped found the group, and Mr. Griles was a friend. So both agreed to attend when Federici invited them to a fundraising dinner.
"Just heard back from Interior and the date for the dinner is Monday, September 24th," Federici e-mailed Abramoff in late August 2001. "Steve is personally inviting everyone from Interior and talking with them about the dinner so I expect a wonderful turnout ..."
Abramoff, for his part, controlled something that the GOP environmental group needed: cash. Most of his Indian tribe clients agreed to sign on as trustees of CREA, at a cost of $50,000 each. Among the perks for trustees was an invitation to the CREA dinner. And the Interior Department is where many issues important to Indian tribes, such as land use and casino policy, are decided.

"Does Wyuu wub his mommy?" Kaira said in a cutesy voice. Just to give her
the satisfaction, he giggled and reached for her. "Aw, come here!" Kaira
picked him up from her bed. He rested his head on her chest.
"Oh, okay then! So he can do that, but I can't?" Vegeta said with his arms
"Shut up, he's a baby! He's supposed to do that."
"Hmph! It doesn't matter! Mizuki loves her daddy, doesn't she?" he said,
picking her up. She giggled and laid her head on his chest, falling asleep.
Kaira just playfully rolled her eyes. "You know, I was gonna let you lay on
my chest, but nevermind now!" she said, walking to the baby room. Vegeta
just shook his head and followed her.
Kaira set Ryuu down in the crib next to his sister. Their parents watched
them as they slept quietly, for the first time in a while. Vegeta grabbed
Kaira from behind and kissed her. "it's still hard to believe it's been
5 months."
"I know, they're already big."
Yeah, that day was the twins' 5 month birthday. Though, being how fast time
flies, they could still remember getting the news. They were scared of course,
but they were more happy.They couldn't be a family without them.

Owens Growing, and it Showed vs. Brees
Owens Growing, and it Showed vs. Brees
Jay Adams
Published November 30, 2012 at 1:21 AMTwo years ago, Chris Owens' name was like a four-letter word for a contingent of the Falcons' fanbase. Part of a crop of young cornerbacks, Owens was still learning the NFL when he was thrust into a nickelback position the Falcons need him to become reliable in.
He struggled at times, and in turn, he caught the ire of fans.
The 2011 offseason was no different than any other, but it signaled another year under his belt. The 2012 offseason did, too.
That experience for Owens, he said, has been invaluable.
"The biggest thing is the experience. Adjusting to the NFL from college, people belittle that process," Owens said after the game. "It's a major process. Some guys develop better, faster or slower than others. The past two years, with the experience I had, the coaching, the offseasons — it all just sums up to where I am now."
During the biggest game of the year for the Falcons to this point, we saw just where Owens is now.
With Asante Samuel banged up and trying to tough through a shoulder injury that's clearly painful for him, Owens' number was called just a few defensive plays into the game when Samuel — who was questionable coming in Thursday night — came off the field.
Owens said he didn't notice Brees trying to test him at all, but when a player whose nickname is "Pick Six" comes out of a game, you have to imagine the quarterback will gravitate toward throwing to that side of the field.
When Brees did, he was met with not a whole lot in the way of breathing room for his passes. Owens blanketed receivers, taking away some of Brees' biggest options in the passing game.
"Tremendous, man. I came in after the game and gave him a big hug," cornerback Dunta Robinson said. "That was great to see him come out here in this type of atmosphere, not knowing how much he was going to play, thinking he was just going to be a special teams player, Asante goes down and he comes out and plays tremendous.
"It's a testament to the way we believe. No matter who's in, we believe everybody can step in and get the job done."
Owens did just that, especially on two particular plays. Both times in one-on-one coverage, Brees looked to Owens' side, but Owens wasn't having it.
The end result was two pass breakups. On another play, Owens was in great position to make an interception but the ball was overthrown.
"He's definitely coming into his own," safety Thomas DeCoud said. "He's doing a hell of a job on special teams, and now he's having his number called on defense and he's doing a hell of a job."
Owens, as DeCoud said, has been a crucial part of the Falcons' special teams. If you recall last year, Owens may have saved the Falcons a win over the Vikings when he chased down a kick return and prevented a touchdown just in the nick of time.
On defense, it would seem, that 2010 campaign is on its way to becoming a distant memory. Owens vaguely remembers the criticism and he says it never helped drive him toward the growth he's experience, but it taught him how to put the adversity aside and just do what he needs to do.
"I don't want to say it goes in one ear and out the other, but it kinda does. You've got to ignore the media and just fight through it," Owens said. "There's going to be ups and downs in anybody's career, anybody's game.
"You've just got to fight through it."

Press Release--Lewis Commends President for Declaring Disaster for December Storms
For immediate release
January 26, 2011
Lewis Commends President for Declaring Disaster for December Storms
WASHINGTON – Congressman Jerry Lewis Wednesday commended President Obama for declaring a major disaster for the devastating December storms in San Bernardino County. The decision will allow all public agencies to submit claims for reimbursement for damage to infrastructure and actions they took in response to the floods.
"I am relieved that the President has accepted the recommendation of the Federal Emergency Management Agency to provide disaster relief for our cities, counties and local agencies, who were overwhelmed by the terrible floods in December," Lewis said. "This relief is essential to helping San Bernardino County to put things back in order and prepare for any further storms this winter."
While the declaration cleared the way for public assistance to all California counties, federal officials are still reviewing damage to private property to see if it meets the threshold for FEMA relief grants. Lewis promised to push for aid for those constituents who lost their homes or suffered major damage during the floods.
There are a number of avenues available for individual relief, including possible very low-interest loans from the Small Business Administration, Lewis noted.
"We will be working with county and state officials to make it clear to federal agencies that many of my constituents need help recovering from these storms," Lewis said. "I hope to convince them to move as soon as possible to help that recovery get started."
State and federal disaster relief officials have already been reviewing the damage in the county, and should be establishing local numbers for assistance soon, Lewis said.
More information is available on the assistance to public agency program on FEMA's web site at http://www.fema.gov/government/grant/pa/index.shtm

On Tuesday, seven Democratic presidential hopefuls face-off at the AFL-CIO forum at 7pm ET at Chicago's Soldier Field.
Each candidate will want to turn out a performance reminiscent of the deft moves of the late Walter Payton, the toughness of Dick Butkus and the flashy style of Jim McMahon. But they also want to avoid the spotty leadership, questionable decision-making and lack of big-game composure of Rex Grossman.
Confirmed attendees are: Hillary Clinton, Barack Obama, John Edwards, Bill Richardson, Joe Biden, Chris Dodd, and Dennis Kucinich. (Who will announce themselves as the biggest Bears fan, Obama or Clinton?)
Only Mike Gravel is missing from the all Democrat line-up, because he did not submit the required AFL-CIO questionnaire.
Although it takes place in Chicago, it may not be a hometown crowd for Obama. Clinton and Edwards appear to have made more inroads with Big Labor this cycle. We'll be listening carefully to see if that still seems to be the case. (No, we don't expect Caroline Giuliani to form an Obama cheering section near the 40-yard line.)
The forum will be hosted by MSNBC's Keith Olbermann, and will be broadcast live on MSNBC and XM radio. Organizers are expecting around 12,000 union members and their families in attendance.
The questions will come from Olbermann, the audience members and online submissions. The primary focus will, of course, be on economic issues, but not limited to that so expect Iraq and other policy issues to come up as well.
All seven candidates would love to leave (New) Soldier Field as the latest Monster of the Midway but don't expect any big announcement of an endorsement just yet.
The AFL-CIO's executive council is meeting over the next few days and will convene on Wednesday morning to discuss whether to move ahead with an endorsement.
What will come out of the meeting? That's a question mark right now, AFL-CIO spokesman Steve Smith told ABC News.
"We're going to have the executive council take this discussion on and see where the different unions are in their process now. And coming out of Wednesday we'll have a good sense in terms of what the next step will be," Smith said Monday.
The AFL-CIO executive council will decide whether it wants to convene its general board in the fall and endorse a candidate. The AFL-CIO has a very high threshold to meet before that can happen. A candidate must receive the support of two-thirds of the voting members of the general board.
There won't be an endorsement coming out of the Chicago sessions, Smith said, but the labor group will have a good idea of whether it will set that process in motion before the primaries or do more exploring of the candidates until then.
Elsewhere around the country…
Bill Richardson starts his day in Iowa, where he is set to unveil his plan for universal healthcare at a 2:30 ET speech to local firefighters, ABC News' Sarah Amos reports. "My plan focuses on guaranteeing universal coverage, keeping down the cost of care for all, and improving care in general. My plan provides affordable health coverage choices to every American, without raising taxes," said the Governor in a statement released by the campaign.
Bill Clinton gives the inaugural speech at the Clinton Presidential library as part of the Frank and Kula Kumpuris Lecture series.
Sam Brownback is celebrating his 25th wedding anniversary and has no campaign events.

Title: | Advances in the control of a "smart tube" high power backward wave oscillator |
Author: | Abdallah, Chaouki T.; Schamiloglu, E.; Park, G.T.; Soualian, V.S.; Hegeler, F. |
Abstract: | Previous accomplishments pertaining to the control of various parameters of an intense beam-driven relativistic backward wave oscillator (BWO) include maintaining a specified or desired output power over a determined frequency bandwidth, and maintaining a constant frequency over a wide range of power. This was accomplished using an iterative learning control (ILC) algorithm that yielded the appropriate input variables for the electron beam, as well as the appropriate displacement of the slow wave structure from the cutoff neck. A problem of much greater complexity is the simultaneous control of both frequency and power, involving the independent mapping of both power and frequency dependence on the two input variables: cathode voltage and slow wave structure displacement. The resultant two-variable system has been successfully implemented and tested for convergence with minimal iterations. In this paper we present an overview of our "smart tube," its development, and our most recent results. |

You doubt me
deny me
cast me to the back of your thoughts
I dont want to be here
i want to be out in the open!
I want to be shared with the world!
because of the others words
you keep me hidden...
and whenever i show my face
trying to show you who you really are
you deny me
And shout those awful words
those piercing
ever scaring words...
I guess i'll just stay here
waiting in the darkness until you're ready
continue to live the lie
continue to repress me
continue to deny me
I cannot fight it anymore
i cannot stop you
i...i cannot...
What is...
What is going on?
Is that...
are you...
accepting me?

PHOENIX – The Phoenix Zoo's last remaining cheetah died Thursday just two months after his brother.
Zoo spokeswoman Linda Hardwick said 9-year-old Juma died from severe chronic renal disease.
Hardwick said Juma's keepers and veterinary staff learned more than a year ago that he had kidney disease. He was monitored very closely and received medical treatment as needed.
"He will be missed by zoo staff and guests alike," Hardwick said.
Zoo officials are working to acquire another cheetah, but Hardwick said it can be a very long process. At this time, there is no estimate on when the zoo will get one.
Juma's brother, Ratel, died in January from myocardial fibrosis and heart failure.
