There were no outbursts, no shocking revelations about the recent tragedies in Glenview and Northbrook.
On Wednesday night, hundreds of people filled Sheely Center to quietly reflect on the past and hear expert advice on grief management, the statistical realities of suicides in Illinois and how to communicate with loved ones during periods of emotional hardship.
They gathered in the wake of a string of recent tragedies, including , , , , and .
The speakers' expertise was diverse, but one piece of advice echoed throughout the night — The best remedy for children struggling with grief or depression is positive parental involvement and honest conversation.
"There is no peer group that will out-influence what you have already done as a parent," said District 225 Superintendent Michael Riggle. "Pull them back in, have those discussions and reestablish the relationship."
David C. Clark, Ph.D., a psychiatry professor at the Medical College of Wisconsin, said researchers still have a lot to learn about the nature of suicidal people, but there are no statistical irregularities in recent cases.
In fact, researchers have found the same trends among high school students across the country.
One in four high school students have felt sad or hopeless almost every day for two weeks or more, Clark said. One out of six kids would say they have seriously considered suicide and almost one in ten high school students have attempted it in the last year.
There is also no single common denominator among suicides in Cook County.
"Many elements must coincide," Clark said. "Some of them we can pinpoint, some of them we can vaguely outline, some of them we don't understand at all."
He did say that three common factors exist — the presence of a psychiatric disorder at the time of death, which may have developed recently, a family history of psychological disorders and a family history of suicidal behavior.
The presentation's main focus, however, was helping people deal with the death of loved ones.
According to the evening's first speaker, Karen Liebold, a bereavement specialist from the non-profit counseling center Willow House, grief does not have a timeline and it doesn't go away — it only changes over time.
"Be patient with yourself, be very gracious to yourself," she said. "It doesn't take time to get over grief, it takes a lot of work."
The evening's second speaker, Richard Blue, the founder and clinical director of Northbrook's Center for Christian Life Enrichment, said kids can learn to deal with grief by seeing parents deal with their own challenges.
"It requires courage," Blue said. "It's much easier to numb ourselves, that's what I think most people do. But if we do that, we miss the opportunity to make significant meaning of tragic things we can't control."
Among the people in attendance Wednesday night was Illinois State Representative Daniel Biss.
"Our kids are two and four, it just sounds like a nightmare to me," Biss said after the presentations. "I have a responsibility to my constituents to do as much as I can to put myself in their shoes so that there's a way for me to help them."
"I learned a lot and I don't know what I'll do next but I intend to keep learning," he added.
Before the presentation, Northbrook's Village President Sandy Frum wrote in an email that residents are turning to each other and their faiths to find support after the recent tragedies in town.
"The Coping With Loss event is just a beginning," Frum wrote. "Northbrook can and will recover from this."

Triple H has nothing to do with the WWE wrestler, but does have to do with you laying the "smack down" on the bad holiday habits we are all about to face over the next few weeks. These Triple H's are Holiday Health Habits. With the holidays upon us, we are going to be inundated with tasty treats, high stress and little time for ourselves.
Just imagine, traveling home for the holidays for mom's homemade pies, the office holiday party catered with rich (high fat) foods or New Year's Eve celebrations with the obligatory New Year's toast (followed by the New Year's Resolution of getting back into shape). The following Holiday Health Habits can help you make it though this time of year with little damage to your desire to stay fit and healthy.
Eating habits play a major role in the Holiday Health Habits. We remember mom telling us to chew our food. Her advice could not serve us better than at this time of year. Chewing our food not only helps with portion control but digestion as well. Chewing starts the digestion process by allowing saliva and the enzymes in it to break down the food. When you think of the types of foods we eat this time of year, you realize they tend to be high in carbohydrates and fats. Saliva's enzymes are made to help break down these macronutrients. When food is properly broken down, it starts a chain of events. First, stomach acids do not have to work as hard to allow for proper absorption. Then, the hormone leptin has more time to tell the brain we are full. Last of all, food which is properly digested can be used to help nourish the body and not go to waste. Take your time, enjoy your food and chew a little more.
During the holiday season, you're short on time, energy and discipline and your to-do list is longer than the garland you put on the tree. With everything happening, you do not see how you can find time to take care of yourself. Add to this worry about the extra weight you know you just can't help to put on. Consider that this is where working with a personal trainer can help.
- A personal trainer can provide accountability. Planning time on your own to exercise can easily be pushed aside during these busy days. Knowing you have someone expecting you to show up provides an extra shove to get you moving.
- Trainers can make your workout session more time efficient. Many people believe it takes hours to get in a quality workout. This is not true. You might be surprised to see what can be done in just half an hour.
- Trainers can keep you obligated to the goals you have made for your health. Now you're not just answering to the mirror, you are answering to someone else who has interest in your health.
You can see how working with a trainer can really help you stay away from those extra holiday pounds.
Food selection can help control overindulging. Choosing roughage before dinner and dessert can be a big help. Roughage is those fruit and veggies which add fiber to our diet. Fibrous foods are slow to digest and will take up space in the stomach. When the stomach is full, it sends out a signal (the hormone leptin) for us to slow down or stop eating. With the body telling you to slow down, it will be more manageable to handle portion control. Fibrous foods can also slow down the absorption of simple carbohydrates (sugar). By slowing down simple carbohydrate absorption, we lessen the sugar spike to our system. These sugar spikes can lead to storage of body fat and diabetic health issues. Simply add healthy fibers into your holiday meals and control overeating.
Alcohol consumption can be the villain in the downfall to health goals.
- Keep in mind alcohol is a depressant. So alcohol can depress not only mood but functions of the body as well. Mood is directly affected by alcohol. If, in a depressed state you have a tendency to binge eat when depressed, alcohol can send you over the edge to overeating.
- Alcohol slows down metabolism, so you cannot efficiently burn calories. Alcohol is also a simple sugar or carbohydrate. As mentioned previously, excess sugar into the system can lead to stored body fat.
So what do we do about alcohol during the holiday season? This is where moderation can play a big role. This is not to mean you shouldn't enjoy a glass of champagne or eggnog. Just keep it under control through moderation.
Faster than you can say, "I was waiting for that parking spot," the holiday season will be upon us. Crowded malls, overeating and additional stress to find the perfect present can bring any healthy body to the point of not functioning properly. Don't fret, nutritional science has provided us with some natural ways support areas of vulnerability during the holiday season. There are many natural supplements which help with areas of stress, energy, immune support, digestion and weight management.
- Rhodiola Rosea is a natural herb in the family of adaptogens. Adaptogens help the body deal or adapt to levels of stress.
- Coenzyme Q-10 (Co-Q10) is essential for cell energy and function. This nutrient is what allows your mitochondria (the structure in your cells which manufacture energy at a cellular level) to work properly. To make energy, the mitochondria use plenty of CoQ10, which helps in the chemical reactions required for energy production.
- Immune support can be enhanced by the use of Olive Leaf. The extract from Olive Leaf (Oleuropeins) helps eliminate foreign microbes while promoting a responsive immune system.
- Digestion can be enhanced in many ways (like chewing mentioned in previous paragraph), but supplements of Digestive Enzymes can further your cause. A lot of people already suffer from an enzyme deficiency. When you factor in the additional burden put on the digestive system with holiday overeating, additional enzymes become even more important.
- Weight management at this time of year can be critical. Thankfully, there is Conjugated Linoleic Acid or CLA. CLA has been shown in a number of studies to have benefits with regards to the blood sugar maintenance, lipid profiles and body composition.
As usual, consult a physician to make sure these supplements are right for you and do not conflict with any medications you currently are taking.
Yes, the holidays are here. Let's embrace this time of year and enjoy the time we have with our families and loved ones. We do not have to worry about those pounds or inches we might put on. We now have a blue print for holiday success. The Holiday Health Habits can put you in the direction of having a happy and healthy holiday season. If you have any further questions about anything mentioned in this article, please reach out to Key to Wellness for help and further instruction.
Enjoy the seasonal celebrations and best wishes for a Happy and Healthy New Year to one and all.

Even though it's summer, school vacations and holidays will soon be upon us. And while life may have calmed down a bit (if you're lucky) perhaps you may be saying to yourself, "that was a great family reunion, we need to do that again and not wait so long." Or, "this was a wonderful trip, we should do this more often." Over the next several months, perhaps you might be thinking of planning a trip, short or long, and doing something different. Keeping in mind the ages of your children, whether you'd be traveling with friends or grandparents, a group or exploring a new destination as a solo traveler, there are many unique opportunities out there in the world of travel.
Does ziplining, surf simulators, rock climbing, comedy shows and live broadway style entertainment peak your interest? Or is an ATV expedition, flightseeing and a crab feast or a jeep and canoe safari what you had in mind?
Looking for an intimate upscale ambiance while being pampered at a spa, relaxing in the sun reading a book, while others enjoy the casino or take in a cooking class? Is an educational lecture, computer class, dance workshop or painting pottery something that grabs your attention? How about playing bridge, learning a language or taking yoga?
Always wanted to visit Asia but are nervous about the language barrier? Curious about Alaska or Paris but not sure how to go about planning the trip? If you haven't guessed by now, a cruise is one of the best ways to see the world. Visiting an exotic destination is easy through cruising. Itineraries offer adventures at major cities and picturesque villages, all of which are highlights. The research on the best places to visit is done for you and even the excursions are planned down to the last logistical detail.
Yes, a cruise is a fantastic vacation! Cruise ships leave from various departure ports around the world. But keep in mind, you can board cruise ships at three major passenger cruise ship terminals in New York and New Jersey; The Manhattan Cruise Terminal, only a few blocks west of Times Square in the heart of Manhattan. The Brooklyn Cruise Terminal, at Brown Street and Imlay Street in Brooklyn and the Cape Liberty Port located in Bayonne, seven miles from NYC and three miles from Newark Liberty International Airport. Several cruise lines depart from these ports including Azamara, Carnival, Celebrity, Crystal, Cunard, Disney, Holland America, Norwegian, Princess and Royal Caribbean.
And don't think that taking a cruise will break your bank. There are cruises for every budget. Carnival cruise lines appeals to travelers of all ages who want to have a fun time without going bankrupt. Carnival's fleet of 25 ships sail to Alaska, Bahamas, Bermuda, Canada, New England, Caribbean, Europe, Hawaii, Mexico, Panama Canal, South America, Tahiti and the Fiji Islands as well as 15-night transatlantic sailings. They even offer two-day cruises to Nowhere! Just enjoy sailing and the time onboard. Carnival keeps it going with pool and deck parties, karaoke, a comedy brunch show and your favorite board games that come to life in a hilarious game show where you are the contestant. Not to mention a variety of dining options, spa and fitness services and a whole lot more. No doubt, an unforgettable vacation.
It's a sure bet for teens and tweens onboard any of Royal Caribbean's fleet. From ziplining on the ship, rock climbing, mini-golf and a sports court offering various age level tournaments to ice skating, two 40-foot long surf simulators, volleyball and a state-of-the-art fitness center, there are many activities to keep the adrenaline pumping. Scuba diving training onboard is even available giving students the opportunity to reach full certification in the Caribbean waters. And after an active day, teens can relax in a spa designed specifically for adolescents and socialize with others at teen only lounges, pool parties and teen dinners.
Norwegian also caters to teens with interactive sports, themed events and pool parties and a teen lounge with events designed to meet others from around the world. Another excellent cruise line with a fleet of 11 ships, Norwegian offers a different cruise experience than the others with their "Freestyle Cruising." This includes a much more relaxed and casual atmosphere. No fixed dining times, relaxed attire, more dining options, lounges, bars and entertainment activities, internet cafes onboard and cell phone service available on all ships. A guest friendly disembarkation system allows guests to depart the ship at their leisure rather than on a schedule. All very nice options on luxurious cruises.
And if you're traveling with smaller children, the magnificent designs and innovation Disney Cruise Lines offers on all its ships will truly make your vacation magical. It's all about relaxing time for Mom and Dad and imaginative activities for children of all ages. With lively deck parties, character greetings, digital 3-D shows and themed dinners, you'll not want to leave the ship! But if you can tug your little ones away from Mickey, Disney's excursions are a must. How about creating your own sailing experience on a private yacht in the Cayman Islands or be a dog musher for the day in Alaska or be entertained at a Garden Tea party with your favorite Disney characters in St. John, New Brunswick? Wherever you sail with Disney, it's certainly a unique paradise.
I might add that Norwegian is another excellent choice for smaller children. They have teamed up with Nickelodeon to create a family friendly experience. Hang out with SpongeBob SquarePants, sing, dance and party with Dora the Explorer and get slimed during the Splash Mob games.
So when the kids are grown, perhaps it's time for some elegance and interesting learning experiences. Holland America or Cunard Cruise Lines are excellent choices for mature adults. Holland America's 15 mid-sized ships offer 500 sailings per year visiting seven continents including the Amazon and Antarctica. Innovative programs such a Culinary Arts Center with cooking demonstrations are available as well as a Digital Workshop powered by Windows. With a long history of tradition, afternoon tea is served along with a "chime ringing" to announce dinner. In addition, each Holland America ship hosts a gathering for solo travelers early during the cruise. And there are plenty of things for solo travelers to do that make it fun and easy to meet fellow cruisers. On most cruises of 30 days or longer, dance partners are offered for single ladies.
Elegance, luxury and superior service defines the Cunard Cruise Line consisting of three ships in its fleet. What sets Cunard apart is its legendary White Star Service. Each member of the crew is meticulously trained to provide a level of attentive British hospitality that will exceed all expectations. The Queen Mary 2 is the flagship of the fleet and features the first planetarium at sea offering a Science at Sea program. Jump into a discussion about ancient history, current events or oceanography. Or enjoy afternoon tea served by white gloved stewards. Dance the night away to the orchestra in the Queens Room or get caught up in conversation in the Yacht Club. A voyage with Cunard is a magnificent celebration.
And for those looking for a new learning experience, Princess distinguishes itself with their Princess Scholarship@Sea Program, an enrichment program that offers about 20 courses per sailing. Join a performance choir and take center stage with other passengers performing to a delighted audience. Or learn the secrets of creating a gourmet meal, create beautiful cards or a keepsake journal, enjoy computer classes and pottery painting. Listen to stimulating speakers present topics about maritime history, theater, art history, politics, science and more. And one of the highlights of Princess cruises is their very own "Movies Under the Stars," where you'll enjoy watching the latest movies on huge poolside screens with complimentary blankets and popcorn.
More enrichment programs are offered on Celebrity Cruise Lines. Celebrity has partnered with Rosetta Stone letting passengers study foreign languages during their cruises. Some Celebrity ships feature the Hot Glass Experience, a live demonstration of museum-quality glass-blowing by experts from the Corning Glass Museum. And one of the most impressive programs features Smithsonian experts who present enrichment lectures on every Bermuda, Holy Land, Mediterranean, Panama Canal, Antarctica and Transatlantic cruise. Sail to the Mediterranean and you'll hear archeologists or art history expert's focus on art, architecture or the history of the region. During sailings to Bermuda, hear marine biologists, naturalist, astronomers or aviation expert's talk about the mysteries of the sea and sky. There are many topics that spark any interest.
The variety of offerings for a cruise vacation makes it easy to figure out the best type of cruise for YOU. Travel boards are available all over the internet adding another resource to gather more information. Relax, regroup, refresh and try something different if you haven't already. Take that Alaskan cruise, go to the Caribbean or go on an adventure to Europe. It's all a unique experience and I know you won't be disappointed!

A blind tee shot downhill, followed by an uphill shot to a green surrounded by potential traps. No wonder the third hole on the North Course at Olympia Fields Country Club is rated as the No. 1 handicap hole on player scorecards.
The par-4 hole was the most difficult in the U.S. Open in 2003, according to Club President Jeff Goldman.
Out on the links, club member Mike Lewis shared a bit of local knowledge and did Patch the honor of explaining an ideal way to attack the daunting hole. Then, he did a good job himself of completing the task, recovering from a minor fairway bobble to salvage a bogey-5.

2012 Season Coverage
Week 1:
Game Recaps
L-W East 31, Carmel 6 (Week 1): After a slow first quarter, Lincoln-Way East showed why it went 10-0 last season. Quarterback Tom Fuessel showed poise and agility by scrambling and then tossing a 61-yard touchdown pass to start the scoring for the Griffins on the first play after the defense recovered a fumble. That same stifling defense also put points on the board after a blocked punt and after defensive lineman Cody Hoffman stripped the ball from the Carmel QB and ran it for 39 yards.
L-W East 20, Montini Catholic 14 (Week 2): L-W East's defense shut down Montini Catholic, and the Griffins' offense struck early with consecutive touchdown drives on their first two possessions, the Chicago Tribune reports. L-W East quarterback Tom Fuessel had 16 carries for 113 yards, with five rushes for more than 8 yards, the report continued. In the fourth quarter, linebacker Kyle Langenderfer sacked Montini quarterback Alex Wills, and the junior left the field on a stretcher and did not return, the report stated. .

October is National Breast Cancer Awareness Month. But that doesn't mean October is the only time to think about breast health [12].
The key is to find problems early. Because that's when today's advanced treatments work best and save the most lives.
If you're 40 or older, the American Cancer Society [13] recommends you examine your breasts every month, have a clinical breast checkup every year, and have a mammogram [14] every year or as recommended by your doctor. If you're between 20 and 39, examine your breasts every month and have a clinical breast checkup every three years or as recommended by your doctor. You may need a mammogram before 40 if you have risk factors.
Risk factors for breast cancer.
Some factors, such as a family history of breast cancer [15], are out of your hands. But there are factors you can control — smoking, having more than one alcoholic drink a day, being out of shape, or taking birth control pills [16]. Please discuss these and other risk factors with your doctor!
Individualized treatment plans.
At The Brooklyn Hospital Center, you benefit from advanced screening and treatment technology. If cancer or a precancerous condition is present, we'll design a personalized treatment plan for you that may include precision radiation technology [17], hormonal therapy or surgery [18]. We'll even coordinate your care through our Breast Cancer Navigator Program.
Take matters into your own hands.
One of the best gifts you can give yourself is a monthly breast self-exam (BSE) [19]. This will help you learn how your breasts normally feel, so if you find a lump [20] or anything else out of the ordinary, you can tell your physician immediately.
[21]Monthly breast self-exams should always include: visual inspection (with and without a mirror) to note any changes in contour or texture; and manual inspection in standing and reclining positions to note any unusual lumps or thicknesses.
BSE is a useful and essential screening technique, especially when combined with mammography and regular physical exams by your doctor. About 20% of the time, breast cancers are found by BSE rather than by mammography.

Nonxuba, P.Z. (2006) An evaluation of the Nelson Mandela Metropole as a location to attract investment. Masters thesis, Rhodes University.
The Nelson Mandela Metropole is the largest contributor to the Eastern Cape Province's economy and its share of the production of the Eastern Cape is about 41, 3 % per annum. This requires that the competitiveness of the Metropole be improved in order to enable it to meet the challenges of the Province. The objective of the GEAR policy strategy places a focus on the leading coastal industrial locations of South Africa. Furthermore, the national government has shifted the responsibility of service delivery to local governments in an effort to reinforce the integrated development planning process in municipalities. To meet those challenges, the Metropole has focused its attention on improving local resources. To enhance the performance of the manufacturing industry of the Metropole, it is necessary to ensure that the Metropole has locational attributes to attract new investment. Such attributes include creation of closely located industries. This will help the firms to engage in competition as well as engage in co-operative activities among themselves. The study employs a variety of theories to highlight the need to enhance productivity of industries in order to attract new investment. These theories include the new (endogenous) growth theory that argues that productivity growth is determined by introduction of new technologies. Such technologies accrue because ideas that contribute to their development are nonrival, and thus their creation has a fixed cost and zero marginal cost. The property of fixed cost in the creation of ideas results in the emergence of increasing returns to scale. The Porter's Diamond framework is used in the study to take the issue of productivity growth further. Its thrust is that in particular nations some industries experience high productivity growth rates. It further argues that the locational attributes are responsible for these industries in registering high productivity growth levels. These attributes include the creation of advanced resources such as a skilled labour force. The data obtained from the survey of the research on the manufacturing industries forms part of this study. The findings of the survey reveal that although the manufacturing sector of the South African region has registered some significant success, there is still some room for improving its competitiveness. It revealed that development of the local markets through competition and cooperation among the industries would help to render these industries internationally competitive. This study concludes with some recommendations. These recommendations place emphasis on improvement of infrastructure, quality of labour force, and development of the region's market. In order to carry out the recommendations effectively, government policy has to be repositioned so as to enhance its visibility among the stakeholders in the economy. Of importance is to ensure the promotion of policy that supports geographically concentrated businesses.

To the Residents of the 6th District:
As your representative, I wanted to be sure that you were aware of my position on the proposed Hosanna House in Edgemere. Let me be clear: I do not support the placement of the Hosanna House attached to the St. Luke Church. I simply feel that the proposed location is a haphazard placement of resources for people in need, in this case inappropriately locating a shelter near residential housing, a senior citizen facility, and most importantly directly next to a preschool. I find this neither thoughtful nor productive.
While I commend the efforts of Catholic Charities and appreciate their commitment to our area, this shelter will not tackle the fundamental problem of homelessness in eastern Baltimore County. Our communities require a much more comprehensive approach to homelessness and needs of our neighbors.
Indeed, while I believe that the homeless population in our community needs our help, simply hastening t implement a patchwork of services and resources will ultimately be counterproductive. That is why I have proposed to the county administration that we address these problems with a complete service center that aims to aid populations in need, while being sensitive to other considerations. I ask that you consider my attached proposal and consider supporting it. A balance of our shared concerns can be met, and I am committed to working with community, county and state leadership to create a viable solution to this ongoing problem.
Delegate John A. Olszewski Jr.
Editor's Note: The attachment referred to in the delegate's letter was a reprint of a column published on Dundalk Patch on Oct. 20. It is linked to here as well as in the body of the councilman's letter above.

Showing posts tagged as "shark week"
Fun fact for Shark Week: Where do sharks go? Our researchers have made surprising discoveries. Tagged sharks traveled from Southern California down the Baja Peninsula. Adult white sharks off Northern California have journeyed to the Eastern Pacific and the "Shark Café," and as far west as Hawaii. Some made 1,000-foot dives! Check out this Today.com interview with our researchers, and see shark travels in real time at the GTOPP website.
Learn more about shark conservation at the Aquarium.
It's Shark Week on the Discovery Channel! Did you know that after renovating our million-gallon Open Sea exhibit in 2011 we added a new species, the sandbar shark? This beautiful animal is one of the largest coastal pelagic sharks, and can grow to eight feet.
Next week is Shark Week on the Discovery Channel! This weekend (August 11-12) the Aquarium will be hosting a special premiere of the film, "Great White Highway" in the auditorium, about shark migrations and conservation, followed by a Q&A with research scientists. We'll also be giving away vouchers for a re-mastered edition of "Jaws" on Blu-ray Disc, as well as other gifts!

OPEN DAILY 10 a.m. to 6 p.m.
Don't miss this inspiring story of love, dedication and the remarkable bond between humans and animals.
» Our Animals » Birds » Trumpeter Hornbill
The Trumpeter Hornbill is a medium-sized hornbill characterized by a large grey casque on the bill. They are gregarious birds, usually living in groups of 2 to 5 individuals, although sometimes as many as 50. Like other hornbills, the females incubate 4 to 5 white eggs, while sealed in the nest compartment. When fed in captivity they are tame, loving birds that can be taught a variety of tricks, and enjoy companionship with their owner. They require large spacious cages to move about in because of their active nature. They are very intelligent and have a life expectancy of up to 20 years. CONSERVATION
The population trend appears to be stable, and hence the species does not approach the thresholds for Vulnerable under the population trend criterion.
SIZE 24 inches tall RANGE Found in humid forest, savanna, and second growth woodland habitats from south central and southeastern Africa. HABITAT Found in tropical evergreen forests of Burundi, Mozambique, Botswana, Congo, Kenya, the Caprivi strip of Namibia and eastern South Africa. DIET Fruits and large insects

Front Row Online?
Last night I had the opportunity to watch the Burberry Prorsum show, OK, I wasn't actually at the show, but I got the next best thing (that's what I keep telling myself) I watched it streamed live on the Internet. I thought that this was a great idea so all the unlucky people who didn't have a ticket could feel a slice of the magic.
I first heard about it when I received an e-mail update from Burberry with my ticket to watch the show live. It got me thinking, even though you can get access to the images from the show the next day why go to the effort of making it Live and hype up the occasion. The show I admit was great and as one of the people watching it live online, I did feel that I was apart of the front row magic. But what are fashion shows about; the clothes? the designers? or the front row? The most press that we hear about the various fashion week shows involve who was at what show. Will this new trend of online streaming then reduce the prestige of the fashion show as it has become that bit more accessible for the public.
The attendees of the runway shows, focusing on the front row, include the media and famous models and celebrities. Sitting on the front row is vital for peoples reputations, sitting next to the right or wrong person could mean a photograph in the papers for the right reasons or no photo at all. Allowing the shows to be shown live may reduce the feel of intimacy and elitism for those attending.
Will people travelling for afar not feel the need to travel to fashion shows in the different continents when they have the exact thing available to them from their computers. Burberry has been the first that I have heard of to show their collection online, but with rumours of Alexander McQueen to follow suit with his Paris show.
A main part of fashion shows are the social aspects with vital after parties used to showcase the celebrities wearing the designers items, and making the clothing more coveted for the buyers. But will this new trend reduce the numbers attending fashion shows in the future if other designers start to follow suit, I hope not.
The effect of this will not be known initially, it may take a few years to see whether this will change fashion shows in a negative way, or whether this new venture will be positive. I really do hope that by the time I start getting tickets to fashion week shows that the exclusivity will remain the same...

Routine sputum culture is a test of secretions from the lungs and bronchi (tubes that carry air to the lung) to look for organisms that cause infection.
A health care provider will often collect sputum samples in the morning. The doctor or nurse may have you rinse your mouth first. The goal is to bring sputum up from deeper in your airways and your throat.
You will be asked to take three deep breaths, then force up some sputum amount by coughing deeply. You will spit any sputum that comes up into a sterile cup. The sputum is then taken to the laboratory. There, it is placed in a special substance (medium) under conditions that allow the bacteria or fungi to grow.
Drinking a lot of water and other fluids the night before the test may help to get the sample.
You will need to cough. Sometimes the health care provider will tap on your chest to loosen deep sputum. There may be a steam-like mist to inhale to help you cough up the sample.
The culture is done on the sputum to help identify the bacteria, or other type of germs, that are causing an infection in the lungs or airways (bronchi). The doctor may collect a sputum sample the office or in the hospital.
The culture can prevent the need for more invasive procedures such as bronchoscopy.
In a normal sputum sample there will be no disease-causing organisms present. Often, bacteria that normally live in the mouth will grow in a sputum culture. This does not mean that you have a lung or airway infection.
If the sputum sample is abnormal, the results are called "positive." Identifying the bacteria, fungus, or virus may help diagnose the cause of:
There are no risks with this method of obtaining a sample, although severe coughing might cause some chest discomfort.
Sometimes a Gram stain or acid fast bacilli (AFB) stain of the sputum done at the same time can help make the diagnosis.

Tonawanda News — Professional mixed martial arts, one of the fastest growing sports in the U.S., is illegal in New York state and has been since 1997. The UFC and its parent company, Zuffa, have been fighting for the past four years to legalize the sport, but to no avail. There was hope in June 2012 when a bill to overturn the state's ban made it to the State Senate and was passed, but it never reached a vote in the Assembly.
So in November, Zuffa filed a lawsuit against the state citing that the ban is unconstitutional because it violates the First Amendment right to freedom of expression.
Victory MMA promoter and Tonawanda native Don Lilly recently joined the fight against New York state. He's a plaintiff in the lawsuit, joining UFC light heavyweight champion Jon Jones, Gina Carano, Frankie Edgar, Matt Hammill and Dana White.
"I want the state athletic commission to basically govern MMA," Lilly said. "Govern MMA just like boxing and pro wrestling to try to give the athletes some kind of guidance. Since Eric (Herbert) and I did the first T-NT show, there have been like eight other promotions which have popped up around New York state."
The T-NT fight series, put on by Victory MMA, is an amateur promotion, which has been legal since 2010 when, Lilly said, the state came out and said so. The series continues this Saturday night when its third show goes live at 7:30 p.m. at Rainbow Rink in North Tonawanda.
But Lilly thinks that professional MMA should be legal and that's why he's advocating for the change, and that's why he spent an entire weekend in Manhattan in early February. One route that may be the key into New York state is through an outside commission.
