I recently competed in my third powerlifting meet, exactly one year to the day after my very first meet. I thought the one year mark of my nascent competitive career would be a grand time to look back and give serious thought to what Id been doing. The great thing about powerlifting is that it is so easy to measure progress. You cant lie to yourself because the numbers are right there to keep you honest. Do I weigh more this year than last? Is my total higher in the same amount and kind of gear? Simple.

Alcohol consumption after age 75 associated with lower risk of developing dementia
3202 German individuals (75+) attending general practitioners , who were free of dementia were studied at baseline, were followed up 1.5 years and 3 years later by means of structured clinical interviews including detailed assessment of current alcohol consumption and DSM-IV dementia diagnoses.
Overall, these results are similar to several previous studies in the very elderly and suggest that moderate drinking is associated with less dementia, even among individuals aged 75 years and older.
Associations between alcohol consumption (in grams of ethanol), type of alcohol (wine, beer, mixed alcohol beverages) and incident dementia were examined using Cox proportional hazard models, controlling for several confounders.
There was good ascertainment of the development of dementia, even among subjects who died during follow up. Of 3,202 subjects free of dementia at baseline, 217 subjects met criteria for dementia during follow up.
Subjects consuming alcohol had approximately 30% less overall dementia and 40% less Alzheimer dementia than did non-drinking subjects. No significant differences were seen according to the type of alcoholic beverage consumed. Forum Comments
Background: In the last 31 years (1980 – 2011) the association between moderate alcohol intake and cognitive function has been investigated in 71 studies comprising 153,856 men and women from various populations with various drinking patterns. Most studies showed an association between light to moderate alcohol consumption and better cognitive function and reduced risk of dementia, including vascular dementia and Alzheimer dementia.
Comments on the present study: This new study from Germany is well done and has some interesting features:
a large sample size of 3,202 men and women with a mean age of 80.2 years.
participants recruited from general practice (probably reducing selection bias)
a thorough baseline examination and almost complete follow up
a large number of non-drinkers and moderate drinkers
substantial incidence rates of dementia during the follow-up period of 3 years
ascertainment of dementia even among subjects who died during follow up.
As stated by Forum member Erik Skovenborg, "The association found between alcohol consumption and incident overall dementia [adjusted hazard ratio (HR) 0.71, 95% CI 0.53-0.96], respectively, incident Alzheimer dementia (adjusted HR 0.58, 95% CI 0.38-0.89) are in accordance with most other studies, including the large Rotterdam Study1 and The Cardiovascular Health Study.2 Since a randomized, controlled study of alcohol consumption and risk of dementia has not been done (and would not be feasible), the jury is still out concerning the importance of confounding. Persons who continue drinking alcohol throughout old age are the remainder population, as mentioned by the authors of this study, exhibiting a survivor phenomenon. Happy people with many friends have the most opportunities for social drinking, and in this study alcohol consumption was significantly associated with factors that are protective for the development of dementia: better education, not living alone, and absence of depression. However, even after controlling for these and several other factors, the risk for incident dementia was still significantly lower among light-to-moderate alcohol consumers. Even so it may still be a part of the explanation that old German men and women, who drank alcohol sensibly in old age, also have a healthier lifestyle in terms of physical, dietary, and mental perspectives."
Forum member Roger Corder adds: "From all I have read on this subject, I fully agree that it is very difficult to separate alcohol consumption from other healthy lifestyle factors in populations where moderate drinking is commonplace. In this respect, the study doesn't correct for a healthy diet, which is also likely very important, as a poor diet is associated with increased risk of dementia due to deficiencies such as low omega-3 fat intake, inadequate vitamin B12, etc. However, it is also known that improved vascular function in alcohol drinkers could account for some element of reduced dementia risk."
Forum member David Vazour comments: "Mechanistically speaking, I don't think that the antioxidant capacity of wine phenolics would be the only explanation for these findings. First of all, following absorption these compounds are readily bio-transformed, therefore decreasing their antioxidant potential. There is also the question of whether or not they are able to cross the blood brain barrier and act in situ. Knowing the concentration of antioxidant enzymes and molecules within brain tissue, it is almost impossible to provide protection through only an antioxidant mechanism. Anti-inflammatory and vascular? Maybe. Further, wines vary in their phenolic composition (due to type of grape, climate, soil variations, etc.). It would be interesting to re-analyze the results based on phenolic composition."
Other Forum reviewers thought this was a well-performed study, with a result supporting previous ones, but there were limitations to the study. It included ex-drinkers with never drinkers in the referent group; there was a rather short period of follow up; among subjects reporting "mixed" types of beverage intake (that had the greatest estimated effect), numbers of subjects according to the percentage of their total alcohol intake from wine (e.g., < 30%, = 30%) were not given; there was no evidence of a dose-response curve, probably due to small numbers; the small numbers also probably made it impossible to assess for differences in effect for Alzheimer dementia and for other dementias. A Forum member added: "My only complaint is that it is a bit surprising to still see in 2011 analyses of all stroke considered as one group. The authors do discuss the disparate relations of alcohol drinking to ischemic and hemorrhagic stroke, a fact that makes it imperative to consider them separately."
A German Forum member, Ulrich Keil, stated: "The Swiss physician and philosopher Paracelsus (1493-1541) wrote: "Alle Dinge sind Gift, und nichts ist ohne Gift. Allein die Dosis macht, dass ein Ding kein Gift ist." (An approximate English translation is "All things are poison, and nothing is without poison. However it is the dose that makes a thing not a poison.") The subjects in this study were in general very moderate drinkers.
An American reviewer, Harvey Finkel, added: "The badge of age is not a warning label of fragility. While, I believe, one should not start to drink just because one has attained seniority, neither must one stop! Elderly folks handle alcohol with more responsibility than do the young, and they may derive greater health benefits from moderate drinking. Age is not a reason for abstinence."

Modeling was a field where many people have not tried their luck in the past years. Only those people should try their luck in this field who are with full of passion and courage to required become a successful model. This trend has now gone old and times have changed because now young models, teen and also preteen models are trying hard to make their place in this field of advertising. Modeling is now seen by the models as an easy way to get the worldwide recognition. Thousands of young girls, teen and preteens join modeling but only few of them reach the success they were dreaming for.
Why only few models get success in the field of modeling? Modeling is now a highly competitive field where thousands of models try their luck but only few of them achieve what they have come to achieve. Only few models become achievers because rest all the models fail in their mission of becoming a successful model. The truth about the models who fail is the fact that they fail in their mission and they fail because they commit mistakes. Every single mistake that the new models make, work against their goals and throw them in the way of failures. So it is always important to make career in this field without committing mistakes. The most common mistake is nudity. Yes, nudity is the mistake. Many people think that the nude pictures of the models can give jump to their career but in reality it s not true. The nude pictures of models can help them to make money but this shortcut cannot give the type of popularity that an ideal model desires. So the young girls should prefer to have non nude pictures in their portfolio. What are the common mistakes made by the young models, teen and preteen models? There are some common mistakes that the young girls, teens and preteens make and if a model wants to be successful in this field then he or she should avoid making these mistakes. Lack of focus on the goals is the biggest mistakes that many models make. The models in the early days of their career keep on shifting goals. They do not focus on a single goal but they keep on changing their goals. If a model keeps on changing the goals then he or she will not be able to concentrate on a single goal and as a result the model will not focus on any specific goal. Many models enter the world of modeling without having the passion to achieve success. The models should look into a promising career in the modeling world only if they have the passion to achieve success. So before taking the first steps towards a career in the modeling field, it is important to understand whether you are made for modeling or not. The time that you will waste in making wrong decisions will never return and you will yourself at the point where you started from. It will not matter how much distance you have covered but your displacement will be zero. So if you want yourself to save from such situations then take time in analyzing yourself that whether modeling is the field where you should try your luck or not and if you have decided to make career in the modeling world then try to be non nude if the modeling director does not demands. |

An Israeli scientist is calling for Saudi Arabia to return a tagged vulture that Saudi officials reportedly arrested this week on suspicion of being a Mossad spy.
Haaretz reported this week that "residents and local reporters told Saudi Arabia's Al-Weeam newspaper that the matter seemed to be a 'Zionist plot,'" after the bird was picked up wearing a transmitter labeled "Tel Aviv University."
Here's video from the UK's Telegraph of avian ecologist Ohad Hatzofe, who says the bird was only tagged with a GPS tracker. But even though it was tagged by Israeli scientists, he said, it might not even be an Israeli vulture: "This bird didn't stay in Israel in the breeding season, so it might be a Turkish bird, it might be a Jordanian bird, or even be Saudi Arabian."

Just like a wedding, this year's Fourth of July concert by the W.D. Packard Concert Band will feature something old, something new and plenty that's (red, white and) blue.
Thomas Groth, executive director of the band, tinkered with the format for the show that brings thousands to the south lawn band shell at Packard Music Hall to celebrate Independence Day.
''We wanted to present a good program of music and entertainment for the people of Warren, per the wishes of W.D. Packard, and this was the best way to go for this year's concert,'' Groth said.
Some elements were untouchable.
There will be a medley of Armed Forces songs, Peter Tchaikovsky's ''1812'' overture will build to the finale, and the concert will open with the ''Star-Spangled Banner'' and close with John Philip Sousa's ''Stars and Stripes Forever.'' But regular concertgoers will hear some different things in between.
The program led by guest conductor Stephen L. Gage will include some patriotic selections the Packard band will be performing for the first time.
Fact Box
When You Go
WHO: W.D. Packard Concert Band Fourth of July concert with Stephen L. Gage, guest conductor, Helen Welch, vocalist and Warren Mayor Doug Franklin, narrator
WHEN: 8 p.m. Wednesday with Zambelli Fireworks display to follow.
WHERE: South lawn band shell, Packard Music Hall, 1703 Mahoning Ave. N.W., Warren
HOW MUCH: Admission is free, and funding is provided by the W.D. Packard Trust. For more information, call 330-841-2931.
One of those is a John O'Neill composition called the ''Fourth of July Polka.''
''It was commissioned by the Nevada Symphony Orchestra for their Fourth of July concert, and quite a few symphonies perform it,'' Groth said. ''We came up with a band arrangement for it. Polkas are a big part of this area, and we felt it would fit in with what we do.''
''America the Beautiful'' will be accompanied by a monologue about America's battle for independence delivered by Warren Mayor Doug Franklin.
''I wanted to have a narration on this,'' Groth said. ''I've gotten to know him (Franklin) over the last few months and I just thought he would be a natural to come over and do that.''
Another new song is an Earl Wilson/Lewis Allan tune that's most associated with Frank Sinatra.
''I've always wanted someone to sing with the Packard Band Frank Sinatra's 'The House I Live In,' which is also known as 'What America Means to Me,''' Groth said. ''So I contacted Jerry Ascione, who's worked with us before, and had him arrange it so we could present it at this concert.''
''The House I Live In'' will be sung by Helen Welch. She performs regularly with the Big Band Sound of Packard and has appeared as a guest vocalist with the full band before, but this will be her first appearance on the Fourth of July concert.
Welch will be featured on several selections, including ''Over the Rainbow,'' ''On a Wonderful Day Like Today,'' ''Zing Went the Strings of My Heart'' and the Gershwins' ''Strike Up the Band'' and ''I Got Rhythm.''
Other band selections include Sousa's ''Fugue on Yankee Doodle,'' Samuel L. Nestico's ''Sabrejet'' and a medley of Sinatra favorites.
And, as always, the concert will end with a bang with a fireworks display by Zambelli Fireworks.
''It's our largest audience of the year by far, and I think that's what performers live for,'' Groth said. ''The audience is appreciative of their efforts and is always very enthusiastic on the Fourth of July.''

Today's coalition politicians simply don't understand Margaret Thatcher's way of doing things. The change has been fundamental: Thatcher would hate today's government because it is based on compromise.

Sentencing guidelines allow for anything between four and 36 months for perverting the course of justice. But what kind of a sentence is Chris Huhne likely to receive?
David Cameron has let domestic politics triumph over diplomacy. The closer you look at his EU referendum speech, the more it becomes clear his goal is winning power in 2015.
David Cameron's frustrating Europe obfuscation can be traced back to his other big crisis on the issue: abandoning the Tories' "cast-iron guarantee" over the Lisbon treaty referendum.
The benefits cap puts Labour exactly where George Osborne wants them, but the chancellor's plan could yet backfire.

Couple's joy at £250 win in weekly draw
5:00pm Monday 11th March 2013 in Headlines
BEAMING Veronica Simpson and husband Brian were presented with £250-worth of Sainsbury's vouchers after winning the Oxford Mail Motability week prize draw.
The Rose Hill great-grandparents entered the competition when they visited Skurrays in Kidlington to order a new car on the motability scheme, which offers free or subsidised vehicles to disabled people.
The Oxford Mail's Maureen Vale and Chris King and Skurrays sales manager Andy Semper and motability specialist Hannah Meiklejohn presented the prize to the couple on Monday.
Mrs Simpson, a former staff member at Sainsbury's in Heyford Hill, said: "I was surprised."
The retired 70-year-old said: "I'm not going to spend the vouchers on anything in particular at the moment. I haven't had time to think about it yet."

All outreach programs can offer an arts integration experience and feature an engaging interactive demonstration component that is tailored to the age of the scheduled audience. Programs are available September through July.
Ballet Beginnings – Storytime Events for Pre-K and Kindergarten Audiences
Ballet Beginnings offers an interactive learning program designed to be a great introduction to the art form of ballet for children ages 3 to 6. Dressed in full costume, a ballerina tells a ballet story and performs a short dance. Using a series of age appropriate exercises, the dancer also teaches the audience members a variety of fun jumps, turns and poses accompanied by music from the ballet story. This 40-45 minute event can accommodate a group of up to 150 children.
Ballet Beginnings Storytimes on tour during the 2012-2013 season, for Pre-K and Kindergarten audiences:
HONK! The Story of a Prima Swanerina
Based on the light-hearted tale of Mimi the dancing swan by Pamela Duncan Edwards, this interactive story engages all ages with a humorous tale of a ballet smitten swan that gets an unexpected moment to shine onstage with a group of prima ballerinas, who, in Mimi's mind, are simply pretending to be her!
Nashville's Nutcracker Storytime
Join one of our professional artists for this special holiday treat to learn more about Nashville's Nutcracker. This event introduces young audiences to Nashville Ballet's unique version of the holiday classic. Participants will see a short performance then dance through the Land of the Sweets in a fun interactive demonstration featuring age-appropriate exercises.

Not everyone sees in the same way. While some are color blind, and others can detect even infra-red light, most of us simply have our own set of colors to which we are most sensitive.
Of the light that strikes the human eye, 90% never reaches the retina. Much of it is reflected back into the environment, after being so close to discovery, and escapes, for the moment, unseen.

Hurrah for Roly, I'm glad he's OK :-)
I am a 'mammal girl' but read your last post with interest. I thought that 30 years was a good age, but Pete the Vet on facebook has taken a picture of a 70 year old that turned up at their surgery with anorexia after hibernation.
Pete also answered this question in the Telegraph the other day http:// I wish you and Roly many happy years together - unless you want a swap? Your tortoise for two adorable sibling felines. They are no trouble at all and love each other to bits. ;-) |
victor has been on the march this week looking for dandelions first time hes been active since he woke up about a month ago ,glad yours is eating now
We look after our neighbours tortoise when they are away, and he eats cat food mixed with strawberry jam from a spoon. how He ever got into this diet I cannot imagine, but He is 30 years old and a character. He always looks up to see who is feeding him, and if He hears the garden gate left open ( I think He knows the sound of the catch when it's shut) He heads for it to make a break for freedom, He almost runs the 20 feet. He also tries to get through the bars on the gate by turning sideways and pushing himself forward, but he is too large to get through. glad yours is o.k. coming out of hibernation, we are still waiting for the neighbours to emerge.
Question Author
Why they always want to escape beats me. Must be the explorer in them. Roly can get his head under the gate but cannot understand why the rest of him won't fit under! They are very clever creatures.

During the first two weeks of the fall and spring semesters, students have the ability to drop and add courses using Albert. (See the Academic Calendar for specific dates.) [NOTE: The timeline is condensed in summer.] Students need instructor permission before adding a course after the first class session. When dropping courses, students should be aware of the Tuition Refund Schedule. Tuition refunds are given according to the Bursar's schedule, and registration and service fees are never refundable once the semester begins.
Courses beginning after the University add/drop deadline (e.g., 7-week session 2 classes), in most cases may be dropped within 1 business day of the first class meeting without a W appearing on the student's transcript with 100% tuition refund, but no refund of fees.
Any registration transactions after the two-week add/drop period must be done manually. Please email Academic Services with your registration request.
Students attempting to drop one course and add another should use the Swap function in Albert. With Swap, Albert first checks for availability before dropping the original selection. Students who drop a course in one Albert transaction and then add a course in a separate Albert transaction may be subject to additional registration fees and tuition charges based on the tuition refund schedule.
If students have concerns, they should consult their program administrator or the Office of Academic Services at firstname.lastname@example.com before making a change.
Non-attendance in class does not automatically withdraw students from a course. To withdraw officially after the Drop/Add period, students must contact Academic Services at firstname.lastname@example.com. Withdrawing from a course means the course remains on the transcript, but the student is awarded a "W" instead of a grade.
If a student withdraws from a required course, s/he must repeat the course in the next semester it is offered by re-registering and paying the full tuition and fees. Withdrawing from a course constitutes an attempt at completing the course. Students are reminded that they are only allowed two attempts at any given course.
Be sure to consult with Tuition Refund page for information about withdrawls and complete withdraws.
While it is not common for courses to have waitlists, some occasionally do. Students who place themselves on a waitlist should remember the following:
Waitlists are part of the computerized system on Albert. The next person on a waitlist is automatically enrolled when a space opens up in the course. No confirmation is sent. Therefore, it is extremely important that students check their waitlist status daily and drop courses as needed. All registered credits are subject to the Tuition Refund Schedule.
Students should adjust their schedule so that their potential enrollment in the waitlisted course does not take them above their maximum credit load. Albert will not enroll students from the waitlist if doing so would take student above their maximum credit limit for the term or if the class conflicts with the meeting time of another class on the student's schedule. Waitlists expire by the end of the second week of classes, but students who no longer wish to be on a waitlist should drop themselves in order to avoid confusion.
