Before I got pregnant, I would not have considered myself a particularly healthy person. It's not that I had any overtly unhealthy habits, just more of an omission of intentional healthy choices in my life. Hamburgers and french fries for lunch was a norm, an occasional yoga class was the extent of my physical activity, and my grocery bill had three times as many processed pantry items than organic produce. It's amazing how much can change in a year!
Now that I'm a mom, living a healthy lifestyle is one of my top priorities. I cook primarily with whole, organic foods, I am re-thinking my skincare routine, and I purchase the majority of my baby items from brands whose mission is to create safe, healthy and non-toxic products.
One of those companies is Earth's Best Organic and I'm excited to share that I'm partnering with them on a special announcement coming in a couple weeks. Make sure to follow along with the hashtag #EBSpecialDelivery. But, shhh… enough about that, for now.
As I mentioned above, the majority of the foods we eat at home are organic-certified. This is especially true when it comes to the things Beckett eats. Click here for a great article in Time Magazine on Why Organic Is The Right Choice For Parents. In short, children are vulnerable to health and developmental damage, thanks to their small size, fast metabolisms, developing immune system, and less varied diets. And since they're growing organs that they're going to have for the rest of their life, it's important to me that I expose Beckett to as few toxins, pesticides, genetically modified organism (GMOs) and chemicals as possible. A recent study also reported that organic foods are up to 60% higher in antioxidants than conventionally-grown crops. And while it used to be that you had to go to specialty health food stores to find organic products, today many local and convenience retailers, like Kroger and Target, carry some great brands, like Earth's Best Organic and even some of their own in-house labels.
Beyond what we digest, I'm also starting to prioritize healthier products for our home and body care. Without even realizing it many of our household and skincare products contain harmful chemicals that are being absorbed through the skin or inhaled. And while I don't want to become paranoid, I do feel like it's important for me to educate myself, so that I can make informed decisions.
Similar to our food, I am prioritizing these healthier products when it comes to Beckett (call me a first-time mom). Diapers, wipes, sunscreen, lotion, even toys (read my post here on my play philosophy) can all contain potentially hazardous ingredients or materials. But when I do my research and make educated purchasing decisions, within my budget, I feel a lot of peace.
I am so excited to be partnering with a brand that has such great values. In fact, Earth's Best Organic's mission is to "provide 'better for baby' products with the freshest, purest ingredients, so parents can nurture their baby's health with the utmost confidence." I love that! Us moms have enough other things competing for our worry! Make sure to check back next week and follow hashtag #EBSpecialDelivery to find out what's coming up for Earth's Best Organic.

Today I am starting a new food series for the blog. I'm not a chef or a food blogger, but I do enjoy finding good recipes and I love admiring well-styled food photography. I'll be sharing my top favorite recipes and menu ideas for various ingredients, meals and drinks in this new 5 Ways Food Series. I'm starting with one of my favorite afternoon snacks, hummus, which I surprisingly had never tried until this past summer. While I normally pair it with simple pita chips or crudités, hummus is a great, healthy alternative spread or baking sauce.
While there are some great recipes out there for homemade hummus, I usually just pick mine up from the store. I recently received some Skinnygirl Roasted Red Hummus, which is made with non-fat Greek yogurt and is reduced calorie, all-natural, gluten-free and kosher. Oh, and delicious. If hummus is one of your favorite snacks, like mine, you should definitely check out Skinnygirl's new line of snack foods. They also have dips and salsas! Note: I participated in an Influencer Activation on behalf of Skinnygirl. I received a product sample and a promotional item to facilitate my review.

2. Hummus apple tartine from Healthy Happy. Life.
3. Hummus-crusted chicken from from Gimme Some Oven
4. Hummus and Mexican chopped salad tacos from Mountain Mama Cooks
5. The veggie delight sandwich from Camille Styles
All of these recipes can be made using Skinnygirl's new line of hummus. They come in classic flavor, cilantro jalapeño, roasted garlic and roasted red pepper. I can't wait to try them all. If you're interested in checking them out for yourself, print off the coupon below for $0.75 off at your local Walmart.
Summer has come and gone and everything is all pumpkins, football and layered knits. I absolutely love the autumn season! In Dallas, it's really the best time of year to be outdoors. Sunny days that have a slight crisp in the air are perfect for afternoons at the park, patio brunches and walks around the lake. And while I wouldn't consider myself extremely outdoorsy (camping is definitely not my idea of vacation), I am really enjoying spending more time in nature as I get older. That's also a value I really want to foster with Beckett as she grows up.
However, now that I have this little person to consider when making plans, I've found that life is just a little less spontaneous. Thank goodness I'm a planner, especially when it comes to my social life. As in, I make restaurant reservations months in advance. This fall, I'm really looking forward to enjoying the outdoors and getting creative. There's so much inspiration, it's hard not to. Below is my bucket list for this fall, which goes until December 21st, by the way. Make sure to follow me on instagram (@moderneve) and see what items I am able to cross of my list!

When you're first starting to decorate a home, there are inevitably spaces that fall to the bottom of the priority list. Guest rooms, perhaps? The laundry room? For me, it's been our entryway. Our entryway, in fact, is empty and has been for seven years. As the holiday season approaches and I am thinking about my entertaining plans, I've realized just how important the entryway can be. It sets the tone of your home for your guests. If it's cluttered with piles of unread mail, dirty shoes and haphazardly thrown jackets you'll make quite a different impression than if it's a well-defined, calm and purposeful space, like these gorgeous photos. I don't know what the rest of these homes look like, but I bet they're extremely cozy and peaceful.

A must-have for any entryway is a good mirror. It's the perfect place to apply your lipstick and one final hair check before heading out the door.

A chic place to sit, to take on and off your boots or wait for the carpool, is a smart design addition.

I love the inclusion of a little greenery. A houseplant makes any space more welcoming and inviting.
Art is another item to bring into the entryway. Whether it's a large statement piece or a curated collection of frames, it's a great way to introduce your personality at the very starting point of your home.
Have your prioritized your entryway. I'm looking for a great mirror, a bench, a plant and some art for my entryway. What other items should I be looking to add?
After last week's post on my approach to play, I am starting the hunt for my favorite toys, beginning with early learning toys. It's easy to walk through the aisles at our local toy store and be underwhelmed by all the cheap, battery-operated and character-licensed toys that are flooding the market. As I work on curating list of my favorite toys, I will mostly be considering what is termed "slow toys". In short, here were my criteria in making this list:
1) The toy must aid the development of early learning and sensory skills. This is a huge difference between purposeful play and mere entertainment.
2) The toy must encourage open-ended play. Helping to foster my daughter's imagination is extremely important to me. Toys designed for open-ended play, also allow children to discover at their own pace.
3) The toy must be made of quality, natural materials. All of these items are made from wood. I love this blog post by one of my new favorite online toys shops, Oompa Toys, on the value of wood toys. Not only does this ensure the toys are safe, but that they're more likely to last for multiple children; and they're also beautiful to to both sight and touch.
4) The toy must remain relevant for a minimum of 3 months. Ideally, many of these toys will be used for a least a year or more, in some capacity.
With that in mind, here are my top ten wooden toys for early learning (infants and toddlers). As discussed in my play philosophy post, quality toys can be expensive, so I've also included links to very affordable budget versions for each type of toy listed.
No. 1 Shape sorting house from Janod, $28.50, Budget version from Toys R Us, $9.99
No. 2 Solid drum from PlanToys, $17.85, Budget version from Darice, $7.62
No. 3 Lock activity box from Mamagenius, $49.95, Budget version from Melissa & Doug, $21.99
No. 4 Marcel the cat from Vilac, $34.90, Budget version from Walmart, $4.97
No. 5 Rolling wheel from Grimm's, $39.95, Budget version by Maxim EverEarth, $9.99
No. 6 Frappá ball from Janod, $28.13, Budget version from KidKraft, $16.99
No. 7 Windmill stackeroo from Discoveroo, $14 on sale Budget version from Ikea, $5.99
No. 8 Zig zag ball run from KidKraft, $33.99, Budget version from Maxim, $15.99
No. 9 Flap from Glodos, $149.99, Budget version from Classic Toy, $33.50
No. 10 Tunnel mountain from Hape, $88.61, Budget version from Ikea, $7.99

GP contestants supplying water by drilling borewells
Some are supplying water from their friends' farms
Bijapur: With only six days left for the gram panchayat elections in the district, contestants in Bijapur district are dumping the age-old practice of arranging liquor parties for men and providing gifts to women voters, and are adopting several novel techniques.
Since the villages in the district suffer from acute shortage of drinking water during summer, some candidates are supplying drinking water to voters.
Drilling borewells
A candidate in Devar Hipparagi Assembly constituency drilled three borewells to supply drinking water to voters in his area by spending Rs. 3 lakh.
The candidate has also reportedly assured the people that pumpsets would be installed to all the three borewells after he wins the elections.
Another candidate in the same constituency has taken steps to drill two borewells and has assured to install pumpsets to them after winning elections.
Some candidates, who could not spend huge amounts on drilling borewells, are supplying drinking water to their voters by installing pipelines from the borewells in private farms of their friends and relatives.
A candidate in Bellubbi village of Babaleshwar Assembly constituency has installed a pipeline from the farm of his friend and is supplying drinking water to voters in the village.
He decided to supply drinking water from his friends farm as supplying the water from his farm would amount to violation of model code of conduct.
These candidates opine that the people in villages were fed up with false assurances of authorities concerned to solve drinking water problem and if steps were taken to solve their long pending demand, voters would definitely elect them.

I appreciate the wonderful advice Dave has gave me. He is a very smart man!! thanks to him I have my freedom. Praise God!! Thanks Dave
I wish I could give Mr. Mosely (and his paralegal Shelly) a 10 star rating! I phoned into Mr. Mosley's office one day and spoke with Shelly (Mr. Mosely was in a seminar), being a first time offender I was lost, upset, scared all rolled into one. I explained to Shelly what my situation was (mind you I was NOT a client at this time) and within an hour Mr. Mosley phoned me. He told me exactly what to do and what not to do until he could meet with me. I followed his orders exactly and met with him a few days later.
At our 1st meeting I knew Mr. Mosley was the attorney for me. He was no hold bar; he told me exactly what I could be facing (since I wasn't charged yet it was all up in the air). He then told me again, what steps to take and trust me, you will want to follow everything he tells you to do because this man knows the law!
He was able to arrange it so that I did not speak with detectives (this is super important, do NOT speak to anyone but an attorney 1st) and was able to turn myself in after the warrant was issued. He was there with me the entire time, when I booked in, he stayed with my friend until I was booked out.
I was charged with multiple D felony counts, never before been in trouble my entire life, you can imagine how scared I was to be in this position. Mr. Mosley did not treat me like a criminal, he was very caring, and I know he went way above and beyond for not just me but for my children.
Mr. Mosley is tough and he will not sugar coat anything but what I have found is that you do not want anyone who is not 110% honest with you. He was there for me every step of the way telling me exactly what was going to happen but he was also a fierce supporter of mine. He is the type of man you want in your corner in a courtroom. He's super knowledgeable in the laws and as long as you do everything he tells you do, when he says to do it, he will do the same for you.
I owe this man my life, he gave me a 2nd chance that I know I would not have received with just any attorney. He is not just an attorney for the money, trust me, he puts in a lot more time then he gets paid for; he is in it for the love of the career. You can tell this is his passion as he pours everything he has in your case. I honestly felt like I was his only client.
It was a long, hard road and in we got a great outcome; and I know without a shadow of a doubt I would not be here able to write this review without Mr. Mosley being my defense attorney.
I could go on and on about how wonderful he and his staff is but you are a fool if do you not pick Mr. Mosley to represent you! You will NOT regret having him in your side, in fact you will regret NOT choosing him as your attorney; after all your life depends on it!
David and his staff were beyond amazing. This case was handled by multiple attorneys, when I turned to David, he was eager to get the situation under control and did, just that. Working with him an Shellie was a wonderful experience. We went down some tough roads throughout the case but, they stood their grounds and handled each bump and curve as they came. David was such a blessing to my family, we really appreciate him and his assertiveness! We were never "left hanging," we were informed of every step taken and felt very involved in the case!
When it comes to legal knowledge and understanding I've never met someone like David. He truly makes you feel like your case is the only thing he is concerned about. He never talks down to you as some lawyers do, and he always keeps you informed. He really is an amazing lawyer. If you even think you may need a lawyer, David Mosley is the best you will find. My case was an Accused Child Abuse case an David has handled it better than I ever could have thought.
David worked hard on our case from the first day we stepped into his office. He will make you feel like your case is the only case he handles. He was knowledgable of experts available that helped to win our case. I would highly suggest David Mosley.
Mr. Mosley represented me in a case that had very high stakes for myself ,both personally and professionally. I made the decision to use him after doing my own research into finding a top attorney in Jeffersonville. After much inquiry... Mr. Mosley's name came up time and time again. I found that while dealing with Mr. Mosley that it was not only his vast knowledge of the legal system that makes him great at his job, but his character as well. At the time I decided to procure Mr. Mosley's services, I was in a very tight spot, and truly felt that I was entrusting him with my life...Mr. Mosley did NOT disappoint, nor take his appointment lightly. It seemed as if I had found an attorney that truly cared about what happened to me. I would not only recommend Mr. Mosley, but plead that you use him, for the sake of your best interests...... I owe him immensely for giving me my future back.
I'm not getting into all of the details. But suffice it to say David Mosley is the best attorney anyone could have. When I needed him he didn't fail me.
He's not your average person by a long shot. And his passion for fairness is what makes him so profoundly good at his chosen profession.
If you're ever in need of solid representation, him and his team of pros will be there for you in all regards. They were for me, and I will always remember that.
The first time I met David, he was standing in the foyer of his firm dressed in a suit and tie with a an old wooden baseball bat that possessed some type of Manitou that he was somehow familiar with.
The suit, the tie, his look, and the old wooden bat he was holding like a club just all came together. I could just see him in my mind taking that old but significant wooden bat to my legal problems and pounding them into less than they were. I knew then and there that he would be my attorney.
I hired him. His performance was stellar!
I will no doubt use him again when needed.
Once you've had the best, it's hard to except anything less.
I was referred to Mr. Mosley at the end of a business day, by another Attorney. I literally called at 5pm and Mr. Mosley and his staff stayed over to help address my situation. Mr. Mosley was always professional, knowledgeable and reliable during all aspects of my case. I honestly felt he was on "my" side and had my best interests at heart.
David is the most caring and professional attorney I know. You can trust that David will not short you on any case he handles for you. I recommend him highly and am sure you will be pleased with him as I am more than pleased with him as an attorney and now a friend.
Mosley worked hard days,nights & weekends for him. He was looking at 76 years and was able to get 3. Mosley knows the court staff and system of southern courts well. I believe that is one reason we were able to get this outcome. The courts had wronged this young man many times before sentence & sadly afterwards also. Mosley however even if our case was closed it was wrong & he keeps fighting for us. His passion is not common.

More Log On To N.H.'s New Health Care Website
More than 200 people have sought assistance signing up for affordable health care on CoveringNewHampshire.org, the state's Health Insurance Marketplace website -- since it went online on December 24th.
The website helps consumers sign up for health insurance on the federal website, healthcare.gov. It got off to a late start after Republican lawmakers refused federal money to build it. But, project leader Karen Hicks says, people are logging in despite the late launch and holiday distractions:
Traffic has been substantial given when we launched it, we've had a couple hundred people sign up to get more information, which means that many more people have cruised around on it.
Hicks says overall, Granite Staters have a general understanding of the new health care law, but many don't realize they are eligible for subsidies.
Although the the deadline for coverage beginning January 1 has passed, enrollment for plans beginning later in 2014 will be open through March 31st.

After playing for about 20 games I've been having some issues playing LoL. So far I've played as two champions: Sion and Ashe. But so far i just can't seem to do very well in-game.
I know the matchmaking system is kinda broken and keeps pitting me against players who are far more skilled than I am but still.
Whenever i play Scion I'm generally not that effective though I've been thinking of trying a nuker build for him since I've had it used very effectively on me before.
Whenever I play Ashe i do relatively well early game but then get ganked like crazy later on. This is partially due to my inexperience with map watching and due to Ashe being a primary gank target but i tend to die way too much.
So what im trying to say it that I need to find a champion (if at all possible) that is more friendly to a player who hasen't touched DotA in his life besides a few LoL games.
I don't think being a ganker or a tank would be the best idea since a bad tank can ruin a game if he doesn't initiate fights well enough and gankers require you to be very good at radar watching.
Any help you guys can give would be great. (PS please don't flame me for being new)
Junior Member
No worries about being new, most players started out as scrubs in either Dota or LoL. If you aren't into being a tank or carry ( ganker) there aren't many options, you could try a support ( Soraka, Alistar for heals) or disabler ( Has a stun, silence, slow ect). Also, the more you play the more you're map awareness increases.
Check out the guides on this forum for the champions, the well written ones help a hell of alot.
Senior Member
I recommend playing every champion in the game before you focus on playing sion.. you need to learn how each champion plays so you can play against them effectively. 3 tips to avoid ganks 1: watch the minimap if 2 people are missing get to a tower or allies 2: mid-late game do not advance past the river unless you have allies 3: buy items like phage or catalyst people will almost always zerg the lowest HP hero if its not a premade
Trying a wider variety of champions would probably be a good idea. "Play everyone once" isn't as easy to recommend now as it was during the launch celebration, but spreading yourself out and exposing yourself to as much as possible is generally a good idea. You've only seen 5% of them, after all; they might just not match your playstyle.
Ashe is usually the most strongly-recommended champion for newbies, but I'm partial to Annie for that purpose. Disintegrate explicitly trains you to last hit (which I think is a more esoteric mechanic than a lot of DotA vets realize), and being a caster, she's less item-dependent than Ashe, at least during the early- and mid-game, and items are pretty confusing for new players. Properly utilizing her stun takes a higher level of nuance than anything Ashe does, but I really don't think it's that hard to wrap your head around.
As Willz0r mentioned, reading guides for anyone you plan on playing is a really good idea. Especially for item builds, which are incredibly easy to screw up when you just try to wing it. And I think practically every Sion guide is an AP nuker guide, so it shouldn't be hard to find help in that respect.
I was in pretty much the same place you are. Then I switched to playing Taric (w/ an aura build) and went on a 12 game win streak.
I'd suggest playing support (Soraka might be better for you since she's much cheaper to unlock) and build into aura items that increase your survivability (Aegis, Frozen Heart, Soul Shroud). This will make you more difficult to gank, and you'll still provide a benefit to your team when you group up later in the game.
Bought Nunu, find him pretty fun though i tend to accidently waste his ulti. Now to find a proper guide for his items. I also have to learn to initiate fights better, half the time i end up dead but its usually because my teammates don't see that I'm initiating and advance too late.
There appears to be quite a few guides on Nunu jungling and i was wondering if anyone knows the best of the 4(?) that are available in the guides compendium. Although they are all similar some have some pretty different choices on certain things.
I think the best characters to learn to play with are ones who farm well (Ashe, Morgana, Sivir, Nasus, Singed, etc.). The more gold you have the better you can equip yourself and contribute to the team. It also becomes much easier to push the lanes and you're still helping the team (instead of ganking).
Tanks are also really good to play early on as you can get away with more mistakes. I would definitely avoid any carries though. Definately take the minute or 2 to read a guide(s) before playing with the character though.
Well, in addition to champion advice, it sounds like you could use some play tips. Focus on playing a champion that can disable the enemy (slow or a prison or the like), and then mid game/late game follow around the more experiened players if they tell you that it's okay. Ask permission first, as you don't want to piss them off.
Learn the movements from them, but realize if they're in the same bracket as you, they're noobs as well, so be ready to grow past their strategies eventually too. You'll be a lot more likely to get ganks/not die in a group

espnW: Kentucky
Famous fans in the stands
In honor of actor and Los Angeles Lakers superfan Jack Nicholson's 77th birthday today, we salute five of our other favorite celebrity sports fans.
1. Spike Lee: The legendary director might love the New York Knicks more than he does making movies. A fixture at Madison Square Garden, Lee even wrote a book about his fandom called "Best Seat in the House" in 1997.
2. Ashley Judd: The actress and Kentucky native grew up watching Wildcats basketball with her father and uncle and claims her passion for the team has been passed down through generations. The Kentucky graduate regularly attends games and often appears on sports talk shows to discuss her love for the Wildcats.
3. Billy Crystal: The comedian and actor's lifelong devotion to the New York Yankees was rewarded with a one-day contract during spring training in 2008. He struck out in his one at-bat against the Pittsburgh Pirates but called the experience "the greatest thing ever." Frequently spotted at Yankee Stadium, Crystal even directed the TV movie "61*" about Roger Maris and Mickey Mantle racing to break Babe Ruth's single-season home run record in 1961.
4. Ben Affleck: The Boston native often returns to his hometown to cheer on the Red Sox at Fenway. Affleck's wife, actress Jennifer Garner, has even said Affleck would not have married her had the team not won the World Series in 2004 because he would have considered her a jinx after the two attended a World Series game together.
5. Jerry Seinfeld: The comedian is such a dedicated New York Mets fan, he worked his loyalty into his classic television show. With multiple references and an epic Keith Hernandez storyline, Seinfeld put his fandom on full display. Today, he regularly attends games and even occasionally calls into a local sports-talk radio station as "Jerry from Queens" to talk about the team. In 2010 and again in 2013, he helped call games with Hernandez on SportsNet New York.
Titles time, anyone?
We're down to 12 teams in the men's bracket and 16 teams in the women's bracket, and four schools -- Connecticut, Tennessee, Kentucky and Louisville -- still have both their men's and women's teams alive and well amid the March Madness. There have been only 10 times in the history of the NCAA tournaments that both men's and women's programs from the same school have advanced all the way to the Final Four in the same year. Here we look back at those schools and how they fared:
Louisville, 2013: Both Cardinals teams made it all the way to the championship game. The men won the national championship with an 82-76 win over Michigan, but the women lost to Connecticut 93-60.
Connecticut, 2011: The men won their third national title in program history by holding off Butler 53-41 in the final, but the women were ousted in the semifinals by then-Big East rival and national runner-up Notre Dame 72-63.
Connecticut, 2009: The women won their sixth national title with a 76-54 rout over Louisville in the final. The men, however, fell to Michigan State 82-73 in the semifinals.
LSU, 2006: Neither team advanced to the final. The men fell to runner-up UCLA 59-45 and the women were ousted by runner-up Duke 64-45.
Michigan State, 2005: The women made it to the final but fell short, losing to Baylor 84-62. The men lost in the semifinals to eventual champion North Carolina, 87-71.
Connecticut, 2004: Connecticut became the only school to celebrate men's and women's basketball national championships in the same year. Led by Most Outstanding Player Emeka Okafor and Ben Gordon, the men beat Georgia Tech 82-73 in the final. Led by Diana Taurasi, the women topped rival Tennessee 70-61 to claim their third consecutive national championship.
Texas, 2003: Neither Longhorns squad advanced to the final and both lost to the eventual national champion. The men fell to Syracuse and Carmelo Anthony 94-84 in the semis, and the women were edged by Connecticut 71-69.
Oklahoma, 2002: The women advanced to the national championship game, but fell to UConn 82-70. The men were ousted in the semifinals by national runner-up Indiana, 73-64.
Duke, 1999: Both teams came up one win short of a national title. The men fell to Connecticut 77-74 in the national championship game, and the women lost to Purdue, 62-45, in the final.
Georgia, 1983: Both programs' runs came to an end in the national semifinals. The men lost 67-60 to Jim Valvano's NC State, the eventual national champions. The women fell to eventual champion USC and Cheryl Miller, 87-51.
Conference Call
This weekend largely marks the end of the nonconference portion of the women's basketball season. And while matchups like UConn-Stanford, UConn-Duke and Tennessee-Stanford were a great way to tip off the season, here are our elite eight conference games before March that we can't wait to see.Jan. 5: Maryland at North Carolina, ESPNU
Jan. 27: Notre Dame at Maryland, ESPN2
Feb. 2: Notre Dame at Duke, ESPN
Feb. 2: Stanford at Cal, ESPN2
Feb. 9: Louisville at UConn, ESPN
Feb. 10: North Carolina at Duke, ESPN2
Feb. 16: Kentucky at Tennessee, ESPN
Feb. 23: Duke at Notre Dame, ESPN
But if you just can't get enough of the nonconference showdowns, there are two more next month that are perfectly acceptable to start popping the popcorn for.Jan. 13: UConn at Baylor, ESPN2

The Stages Of Coming Back From Spring Break
You had the time of your life this break, but now it's time to face reality.
You had the time of your life this break, but now it's time to face reality.
It was about 6:20 a.m. of the first day of finals week and I was fast asleep dreaming of spring break.
All of the sudden, everything started shaking like crazy.
We UCLA students are no strangers to stairs, but have you ever thought about using them for a quick workout? One of the best things about stair workouts is that you can do them pretty much anywhere. In your dorm or apartment building, at the track and even on campus. They're perfect for adding a little movement to your routine, and you can break them up into small segments that are spread throughout the day if you don't have time for a full-on workout.
Basically, a stair workout is the perfect workout for finals week. You probably won't have to leave your building, and you can pick how long you want to go for. (Five to 10 minutes will get your heart rate up and blood pumping for sure.) So next time you need a quick study break, think about getting those legs moving instead of perusing Facebook or Instagram. (more…)
Mojo asked 62 UCLA students where they were headed for spring break. Although they were headed all over the place to eight states, five countries and two continents, a clear top-5 destinations emerged.
1. Home
It comes as no surprise that the most common spring break destination is home, with a whopping total of 23 people. We've never needed to sleep in our own beds, eat home-cooked meals, catch up with old friends and – let's face it – our Netflix series more than in our current states of exhaustion and brain fry. (more…)
As UCLA students, we need to embrace being "so L.A." Be proud of wearing flip flops every day, being excited to eat kale, and buying something with rhinestones from one of those overpriced doggy boutiques. Even if our lives aren't actually as glamorous as we lead our Facebook friends to believe, we need to at least keep up the appearance of being "so L.A." by doing quirky L.A. things. One such activity is attending FREE television tapings. These are a great way to see celebrities, be on TV, get a behind-the-scenes experience of a show, and possibly win some pretty cool prizes. The following shows are just a bus ride (or two) away from UCLA and guaranteed to make your Instagram followers jealous of your super cool life. (more…)

Blast Further Erodes Nigerians' Confidence
By NORIMITSU ONISHI
Published: February 10, 2002
LAGOS, Nigeria, Feb. 9— As explosions from the nearby arms depot shook their house, the Adeniyi family, 10 in all, packed into their blue 1984 Mercedes two Sundays ago and, like tens of thousands of their neighbors, fled toward the city's northern limits.
''My husband was driving, with fear,'' recalled Monsurat Adeniyi, 27. ''We thought it was a coup. We thought maybe the northerners had taken over the government and were killing everybody.''
The car eventually had to stop several miles away, before a canal where most of the more than 1,000 victims of Nigeria's latest disaster perished, trampled upon and drowned.
The accidental explosion in Nigeria's largest city came after months of rising lawlessness here in Africa's most populous nation. It focused anger on an elected government that is widely seen as ineffective, uncaring and, nearly three years after the end of military rule, dangerously fragile.
''If the government had told us what was happening,'' Mrs. Adeniyi said, ''this disaster could have been avoided.''
Instead, the family parked the Mercedes and went to cross the canal, with the mother carrying 6-month-old Aishat on her back and her husband holding 3-year-old Miriam in his arms. In the darkness, she saw her husband sink into the putrid water. When he resurfaced, Miriam had vanished from his arms. They searched in vain for hours.
''My frustration was so much,'' Mrs. Adeniyi said, ''that I wanted to throw the newborn baby into the water.''
Two days later, after the family had abandoned all hope, a rescuer found Miriam alive and conscious, floating on her back among hyacinth pads in the canal.
Others were not so lucky. Hundreds among the more than 1,000 dead, who could not be identified, are expected to be interred in a mass burial next week. At police barracks in Lagos there are hundreds of refugees from the blasts, which sent shrapnel and bombs miles away from the arms depot, flattening houses, tearing off roofs and shattering windows.
At the canal, a swampy cesspool with black, reeking water, the curious kept coming last week to look at the scene of the tragedy. Divers had fished out all the bodies, but personal effects left on the banks were reminders of the dead.
Clothes were embedded in the now-dry mud; flip-flops were scattered everywhere, some only a few inches long -- testimony to the preponderance of children who failed to make it across. A time-card of a worker at Nanita Industries, a certain Peter Awesu, showed a perfect attendance record for the month, interrupted only by the blast, which occurred on Jan. 27. The Bibles strewn nearby were a reminder that the day was a Sunday.
''At all!'' said Otum Okechukwu, a 22-year-old trader, who had come to the canal. ''The government does not care about its people at all. They don't care whether the poor people survive or die. If they cared about us, they would have made sure that this danger did not exist. Why were there so many arms kept in such a densely populated residential neighborhood?''
Only three years after the end of a 16-year dictatorship, during which soldiers preyed on ordinary Nigerians, it is perhaps not surprising that most Nigerians still doubt that their elected leaders have their interests at heart.
Nigeria has suffered from the most brutal of Africa's rulers. But four decades after most of the continent gained its independence, few African leaders seem to govern with national interests in mind.
The government's response to the Lagos disaster hardened Nigerians' low opinion of their leaders. A few hours after the explosions were triggered before 6 p.m., state and military officials appeared on national television to allay fears of a coup. The next day, President Olusegun Obasanjo visited the military barracks in the Ikeja neighborhood where the arms depot had exploded. In an appearance that angered Nigerians, he expressed little sympathy for the victims.
Crowds urged him to visit the munitions dumps, shouting, ''President, go inside!'' But Mr. Obasanjo chastised them for being unruly and told them he did not have to be there. He later proceeded with an official visit to the northern state of Katsina.
A couple of days later, Mr. Obasanjo apologized for his remarks. He said he had not been informed that many had died, despite the evidence around him of burned-out houses. The remarks came too late. When the vice president, Atiku Abubakar, visited the barracks, his car was stoned and he had to flee.
''How could Obasanjo have not known that people had died?'' said Jonah Nnachi, another 22-year-old trader who was visiting the canal. ''If he was a person who cared for people, he would not have said those things.''
Later, Mr. Obasanjo said on television that he could not rule out sabotage. The Lagos state governor, Bola Tinubu, went further, accusing retired generals of wanting to seize power by creating disorder.
The truth, however, may have been far simpler, and was inadvertently revealed by the commander of the Ikeja barracks, Brig. Gen. George Emdin. He said the armory was an old one, incapable of handling the large shipments of weapons that came into Nigeria through Lagos, where they were redistributed from the Ikeja armory.

Says project spillover, delay will not be tolerated
Panchayats should complete welfare projects in time or else risk the prospect of being sidelined in the allocation of funds, Minister for Social Welfare M.K. Muneer said here on Tuesday.
He was addressing a meeting of panchayat officials from Kozhikode and Malappuram districts at Town Hall here. Dr. Muneer said he would give under-performing panchayats, both at the block and village levels, time till the first week of January 2014 to complete 80 to 100 percent of their annual welfare and development works.
"From here on, there should not be the word 'spillover' in your dictionary. Projects meant to be completed this year, should be completed this year. Projects and its funds should neither lapse nor be conveniently spilled over to the next year," he said in a strongly worded address.
"The government's share of funds has been given in eight instalments. The Finance Commission's recommendations on welfare projects have been complied with. What is left for you is the fund from the World Bank. And as you all know, the World Bank has decided to give money only to those panchayats which perform," Dr. Muneer said.
The review meet saw an official from each panchayat in both the districts give a detailed description of how funds allotted was spent.
The Minister said panchayats should use the January-March period to devise new projects for the financial year. "Do not scramble at the last minute to finish your projects. There should be no excuses such as the treasury did not supply the funds in time or the election caught us by surprise," he said.
The day was tough on certain panchayat officials with the Minister expressing his displeasure over their fund utilisation, or rather, the lack of it. The Kozhikode district panchayat was at the receiving end. The local body had 675 projects to complete this year. Out of this, over 300 are spillover projects from the previous year.
District panchayat president K. Jameela, who was sharing the dais with the Minister, was compelled to intervene after her official in the audience could not explain why there was so much of spillover and delay in completion of projects.
She said work was held up due to the monsoon, and materials were already lying 'stacked,' waiting to be put to use. Ms. Jameela then chose to be on the offensive, saying that her panchayat which dealt with projects worth crores had not been given a Secretary.
"In the past three years we have had only one Secretary who was with us for hardly 10 months before he got a transfer and left," she said.
The Perumpadappu panchayat in Malappuram was also at the receiving end when an official said a major welfare project got cancelled after a 'data entry operator pressed the wrong button on the panchayat office computer.'

Mitsuko Uchida is a performer who brings a deep insight into the music she plays through her own search for truth and beauty. She is renowned for her interpretations of Mozart, Schubert, and Beethoven, both in the concert hall and on CD, but she has also illuminated the music of Berg, Schoenberg, Webern and Boulez for a new generation of listeners. Her recording of the Schoenberg Piano Concerto with Pierre Boulez and the Cleveland Orchestra won four awards, including The Gramophone Award for Best Concerto. Amongst many current projects, Uchida has recently been recording a selection of Mozart's Piano Concerti with the Cleveland Orchestra, directing from the piano. The Cleveland Plain Dealer wrote of their performances of K.466 and K.595 in April 2010, 'Uchida turns in readings of such eloquence, one has no trouble understanding why they're also being recorded for posterity' and The Times wrote of the disc issued in October 2009, (K.491 and K.488), which won a Grammy award, 'Did even the great Clara Haskil play Mozart's piano music as wonderfully, as completely – with intelligence and instinct perfectly fused – as Mitsuko Uchida?'
Highlights this season include performances with the Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra and Haitink, Vienna Philharmonic and Boulez, Cleveland Orchestra, Chicago Symphony, Philharmonia Orchestra and Salonen, and the continuation of the Beethoven concerti cycle with the London Symphony Orchestra and Sir Colin Davis. Uchida will perform chamber music at the Mozartwoche festival in Salzburg, with the Hagen Quartet in a tour of Japan, and with Magdalena Kožená in Europe. She will give solo recitals in Tokyo, Salzburg, Berlin, London, Chicago and New York.
Mitsuko Uchida performs with the world's finest orchestras and musicians, in all the major concert halls. Some recent highlights have been her Artist-in-Residency at the Cleveland Orchestra, where she directed all the Mozart concerti from the keyboard over a number of seasons. She has also been the focus of a Carnegie Hall Perspectives series entitled 'Mitsuko Uchida: Vienna Revisited'. She has featured in the Concertgebouw's Carte Blanche series where she collaborated with Ian Bostridge, the Hagen Quartet, Chamber Orchestra of Europe and Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra as well as directing from the piano a performance of Schönberg's Pierrot Lunaire. Uchida has also been Artist-in-Residence at the Vienna Konzerthaus, and with the Berlin Philharmonic Orchestra, where she performed a series of chamber music concerts and a Beethoven Piano Concerti cycle with Sir Simon Rattle.
Mitsuko Uchida records exclusively for Decca and her recordings include the complete Mozart piano sonatas and piano concerti; the complete Schubert piano sonatas; Debussy's Etudes; the five Beethoven piano concerti with Kurt Sanderling; a CD of Mozart Sonatas for Violin and Piano with Mark Steinberg; Die Schöne Müllerin with Ian Bostridge for EMI; the final five Beethoven piano sonatas; and the 2008 recording of Berg's Chamber Concerto with the Ensemble Intercontemporain, Pierre Boulez and Christian Tetzlaff. Uchida's most recent releases are CD's of Mozart's concerti K.488 and K.491, and a second disc of K.466 and K.595, both with Uchida directing the Cleveland Orchestra from the piano; and an acclaimed disc of Schumann's solo piano music, featuring the Davidsbündlertänze and the Fantasie.
Mitsuko Uchida has demonstrated a long-standing commitment to aiding the development of young musicians and is a trustee of the Borletti-Buitoni Trust. She is also Co-director, with Richard Goode, of the Marlboro Music Festival. In June 2009 she was made a Dame Commander of the Order of the British Empire.

STATE COLLEGE '?? In a bold challenge to the NCAA'??s powers, Gov. Tom Corbett claimed in a lawsuit Wednesday that college sports'?? governing body overstepped its authority and '??piled on'?ù when it penalized Penn State over the Jerry Sandusky child molestation scandal.
Corbett asked that a federal judge throw out the sanctions, which include an unprecedented $60 million fine and a four-year ban on bowl games, arguing that the measures have harmed students, business owners and others who had nothing to do with Sandusky'??s crimes.
'??A handful of top NCAA officials simply inserted themselves into an issue they had no authority to police under their own bylaws and one that was clearly being handled by the justice system,'?ù Corbett said at a news conference.
The case, filed under federal antitrust law, could define just how far the NCAA'??s authority extends. Up to now, the federal courts have allowed the organization broad powers to protect the integrity of college athletics.
In a statement, the NCAA said the lawsuit has no merit and called it an '??affront'?ù to Sandusky'??s victims.
Penn State said it had no role in the lawsuit. In fact, it agreed not to sue as part of the deal with the NCAA accepting the sanctions, which were imposed in July after an investigation found that football coach Joe Paterno and other top officials hushed up sexual-abuse allegations against Sandusky, a former member of Paterno'??s staff, for more than a decade for fear of bad publicity.
The penalties include a cut in the number of football scholarships the university can award and a rewriting of the record books to erase 14 years of victories under Paterno, who was fired when the scandal broke in 2011 and died of lung cancer a short time later.
The lawsuit represents a reversal by the governor. When Penn State'??s president consented to the sanctions last summer, Corbett, a member of the Board of Trustees, embraced them as part of the university'??s effort to repair the damage.
Corbett said he waited until now to sue over the '??harsh penalties'?ù because he wanted to thoroughly research the legal issues and did not want to interfere with the football season.
The deal with the NCAA has been unpopular with many fans, students and alumni. Corbett, who is up for re-election next year, deflected a question about whether his response has helped or hurt him politically.
'??We'??re not going to get into the politics of this,'?ù he said.
An alumni group, Penn Staters for Responsible Stewardship, applauded the lawsuit but said Corbett should have asked questions when the NCAA agreement was made.
Paterno'??s family members said in a statement that they were encouraged by the lawsuit. Corbett '??now realizes, as do many others, that there was an inexcusable rush to judgment,'?ù they said.
Corbett'??s lawsuit accuses the NCAA of cynically exploiting the Sandusky case, saying its real motives were to '??gain leverage in the court of public opinion, boost the reputation and power of the NCAA'??s president'?ù and '??enhance the competitive position of certain NCAA members.'?ù It said the NCAA has not cited a rule that Penn State broke.
Corbett charged that the NCAA violated the Sherman Antitrust Act, which prohibits agreements that restrain interstate commerce. Legal experts called it an unusual case whose outcome is difficult to predict.
Federal courts have consistently rejected antitrust challenges to NCAA rules and enforcement actions designed to preserve competitive balance, academic integrity and amateurism in college athletics.
'??It'??s difficult to justify the sanctions as necessary to protect the amateur nature of college sports, preserve competitive balance or maintain academic integrity,'?ù said Matthew Mitten, director of the National Sports Law Institute at Marquette University Law School.
Corbett, a Republican, said his office did not coordinate its legal strategy with state Attorney General-elect Kathleen Kane, who is scheduled to be sworn in Jan. 15. Instead, the current attorney general, Linda Kelly, granted the governor authority to pursue the matter.
