Wolff impressed by Hamilton composure
11:19am Thursday 21st March 2013 in National Sport News © Press Association 2013
Mercedes motorsport director Toto Wolff believes Lewis Hamilton underlined his World Championship pedigree on his debut for the team.
Hamilton finished fifth in Sunday's Australian Grand Prix, two places behind where he started after proving to be the best of the rest in qualifying as Red Bull ominously locked out the front row. It was naturally not the result Hamilton had been hoping for given his grid position, but there was still contentment overall in a job well done over the course of the weekend.
"He is great. He is intelligent, he asks the right questions, and in the race he kept his head down," said Wolff. "He had a very difficult race because there was no-one in front or behind him for long periods. And when we had to make a compromise with a third stop because we could see two wouldn't work, he kept calm, kept going - it was the hallmark of a world champion."
Wolff, making his own debut with Mercedes in a role he only took on two months ago, was relatively satisfied with how Mercedes fared.
It is likely, given the pace of the car, the team would have finished with both Hamilton and team-mate Nico Rosberg in the points only for the latter to retire with an electrical fault halfway through.
"Before the season started, if we'd been told we would finish the first race with one car in fifth then we would have taken that," added Wolff, ahead of this weekend's second round in Malaysia.
"But then expectations are high, and to have an electrical failure which led to one of our cars stopping is unacceptable.
"With the other car, it ran well. We had an interesting strategy at the beginning with the option (supersoft) tyre, but then on the medium compound the pace dropped.
"It's a bit of a shame, but the team are working flat out, and the car is a solid one, which is good, so we just have to keep our heads down and working hard."

UPDATE: Congo, Rwandan presidents in talks over rebel seizures
Presidents of the Congo and Rwanda are reportedly in talks about Tuesday's rebel seizures of Goma and the Congo's international airport.
Update: 12:16 p.m. ET: Congo, Rwandan presidents in talks over rebel seizures, Reuters reports
Rwandan President Paul Kagame is expected to hold talks with Democratic Republic of Congo's President Joseph Kabila in Uganda after rebels claimed control of the eastern Congolese city of Goma, sources at Uganda's presidency said Tuesday.
The two presidents arrived at Uganda's Entebbe airport on Tuesday afternoon, and were due to meet Ugandan President Yoweri Museveni separately before holding face-to-face talks, said the sources.
"Museveni will first meet them separately to try to create a rapport for a joint meeting which is likely to take place tomorrow (Wednesday) morning," one of the sources said.
Update: 10:21 a.m. ET: Rebels seize Congo's capital, airport
GOMA, Congo — A rebel group created just seven months ago seized the strategic provincial capital of Goma, home to more than 1 million people in eastern Congo, and its international airport Tuesday, according to a rebel spokesman and witnesses.
Explosions and machine-gun fire rocked the lakeside city as the M23 rebels pushed forward on two fronts: toward the city center and along the road that leads to Bukavu, another provincial capital which lies to the south. Civilians ran down sidewalks looking for cover and children shouted in alarm. A man clutched a thermos as he ran.
By early afternoon the gunfire had stopped and M23 soldiers who are believed to be backed by Rwanda, marched down the potholed main boulevards, unimpeded. Their senior commanders paraded around the town in all-terrain vehicles, waving to the thousands of people who left their barricaded houses to see them.
The United Nations peacekeepers, known by their acronym MONUSCO, were not helping the government forces during Tuesday's battle because they do not have a mandate to engage the rebels, said Congolese military spokesman Olivier Hamuli, who expressed frustration over the lack of action by the peacekeepers.
"MONUSCO is keeping its defensive positions. They do not have the mandate to fight the M23. Unfortunately, the M23 did not obey the MONUSCO warnings and went past their positions (at the airport). We ask that the MONUSCO do more," he said.
French Foreign Minister Laurent Fabius Tuesday urged a review of the United Nations' peacekeeping mandate in the Congo.
Fabius said it was "absurd" that a few hundred rebels had been able to parade past a 17,000-strong U.N.-mandated peacekeeping force (MONUSCO), which gave up the battle for Goma.
"MONUSCO is 17,000 soldiers, but sadly it was not in a position to prevent what happened. It is necessary that the MONUSCO mandate is reviewed," Fabius told reporters.
The rebels are believed to be backed by neighboring Rwanda, which is accused of equipping them with sophisticated arms, including night vision goggles and 120 mm mortars. Evidence is mounting of the role played by the neighboring country, and Friday the United Nations Group of Experts is expected to release its final report, detailing the role Rwanda has played in the recruitment, financing and arming of the new rebel movement.
Tuesday, Congolese government spokesman Lambert Mende said that Rwandan soldiers had crossed into Goma, hiking over footpaths across a volcano that looms between the two countries.
"Goma is in the process of being occupied by Rwanda," said Mende, speaking from Congo's distant capital of Kinshasa. "We have people who saw the Rwandan army traverse our frontier at the Nyamuragira volcano. They have occupied the airport and they are shooting inside the town. Our army is trying to riposte but this poses an enormous problem for them — this is an urban center where hundreds of thousands of people live," he said.
A Congolese colonel, who was at the frontline in Goma before the city fell, said that the soldiers he saw were Rwandan. Neither his claim nor Mende's could be independently verified.
M23 rebel spokesman Col. Vianney Kazarama confirmed that they had taken the airport and the city. "We are now inside the city of Goma," he said.
Goma, a city of low-lying buildings, many topped by rusted corrugated roofs, was last threatened by rebels in 2008 when fighters from the now-defunct National Congress for the Defense of the People, or CNDP, stopped just short of the city. Their backs to the wall, the Congolese government agreed to enter into talks with the CNDP and a year later, on March 23, 2009, a peace deal was negotiated calling for the CNDP to put down their arms in return for being integrated into the national army.
The peace deal fell apart this April, when up to 700 soldiers, most of them ex-CNDP members, defected from the army, claiming that the Congolese government had failed to uphold their end of the deal. They charged that they were not properly paid and equipped and that the government has systematically discriminated against ethnic Tutsis, which make-up the majority of their ranks.
Although M23 is tapping in to long-held grievances regarding the marginalization of Tutsis in Congo, analysts and country experts say the real reason for the rebellion is over control of Congo's vast mineral riches, a good chunk of which is concentrated in North Kivu province, where Goma is located, as well as neighboring South Kivu, of which Bukavu is the capital.
Germany, which is a member of the UN Security Council, called on the rebels to halt their military action immediately. Foreign Minister Guido Westerwelle said in a statement that he called on Congo's neighbors, a reference to Rwanda and Uganda which are accused of backing M23, to not do anything to worsen the crisis. "I expect of Congo's neighboring states that they refrain from doing anything which further exacerbates the situation," Westerwelle said.
Over the weekend, UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-Moon called Rwandan President Paul Kagame and asked him to call the M23 leaders and ask them to stop their advance, according to a statement issued at UN headquarters in New York. In January, Rwanda will assume a seat on the United Nations Security Council, creating a diplomatic minefield in light of what is happening in Goma.
If the rebels succeed in taking Bukavu, it will mark the biggest gain in rebel territory since at least 2003, when Congo's last war with its neighbors ended.
Jean-Claude Bampa, who lives near the road to Sake, the first town on the drive to Bukavu, spoke on the telephone over loud gunfire in the background. "I can hear gunshots everywhere, it is all around my home," he said on Tuesday morning. "We are stuck inside and are terrified. I pray this will be over soon."

Colon Cancer Genetic Testing
What Is Colon Cancer Genetic Testing?
Colon cancer genetic testing is a blood test that can tell you whether you carry rare changed, or mutated, Reference genes Opens New Window that can cause Reference colon cancer Opens New Window. Although most people who get colon cancer do not have one of these mutated genes, having them greatly increases your chance of getting colon cancer.
Colon cancer develops in the Reference large intestine Opens New Window Reference Opens New Window when cells change and grow out of control. Colon cancer is also called colorectal cancer, because it can occur in both the colon and in the lowest section of the colon, which is called the rectum.
Colon cancer almost always begins as small growths on the inner wall of the colon called Reference polyps Opens New Window. A doctor can find and remove polyps during a Reference colonoscopy Opens New Window, a test in which a doctor uses a flexible video camera or scope to look at the inside of the colon. If a close member of your family, such as your brother, sister, or parent, has had colon cancer, talk with your doctor about colonoscopy screening.
The most common genetic changes related to colon cancer are familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP) and hereditary nonpolyposis colorectal cancer (HNPCC). In these conditions, screening often starts even sooner than age 40.
Familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP)
Reference FAP Opens New Window develops because of a changed gene that causes hundreds or thousands of polyps to grow in the colon. The number of polyps increases with age. If one of your parents has FAP, you have a 50% chance of having the changed gene and the disease.
Everyone who has FAP will get colorectal cancer if they are not treated. They can develop polyps in their 20s and 30s, or even earlier. People who have FAP need to have their colons removed to prevent colon cancer.
Hereditary nonpolyposis colorectal cancer (HNPCC) or Lynch syndrome
Reference HNPCC Opens New Window can cause polyps in the colon, but not as many as FAP. Changes in any of one or more different genes can cause HNPCC. These changes also increase the risk of getting other cancers, including cancer of the endometrium, ovaries, stomach, urinary tract, small intestine, skin, brain, and liver.
Having the gene change related to HNPCC does not mean you definitely will develop colon cancer. But it does increase your chances of getting colon cancer at a younger age. And the cancer is more likely to grow faster. It also increases your chances of other cancers, so screening for endometrial or other cancers may be important. If a person has an HNPCC gene change, he or she has a 50% chance of passing this gene on to a child.
If you have a very strong family history of colon cancer, you may want to have a blood test to look for changed genes. These things are common in families with HNPCC:
- You have at least three relatives who have had colon cancer, endometrial cancer, or another HNPCC-related cancer, and at least one of the relatives is a parent, brother, or sister.
- Those relatives are spread over two generations in a row (for example, a grandparent and a parent).
- One of those relatives had colorectal or endometrial cancer before age 50.
Testing is more useful when the family member who has colon cancer, FAP, or HNPCC also tests positive for the abnormal gene. If your relative who has the condition does not test positive, this means he or she does not have the changed gene. If your relative doesn't have the changed gene, most likely you don't either, so you would not need to be tested for this changed gene. But you would still have a high risk. This means you would need to be watched closely by your doctor and have careful screening.

Cardiac muscle
Cardiac muscle | |
Cardiac muscle | |
Dog Cardiac Muscle 400X | |
Latin | Textus muscularis striatus cardiacus |
Code | TH H2.00.05.2.02001 |
Cardiac muscle (heart muscle) is a type of involuntary striated muscle found in the walls and histological foundation of the heart, specifically the myocardium. Cardiac muscle is one of three major types of muscle, the others being skeletal and smooth muscle. These three types of muscle all form in a process known as myogenesis. The cells that comprise cardiac muscle, called cardiomyocytes or myocardiocytes, only contain one, unique nucleus.[1][2] Coordinated contractions of cardiac muscle cells in the heart propel blood out of the atria and ventricles to the blood vessels of the left/body/systemic and right/lungs/pulmonary circulatory systems. This complex of actions makes up the systole of the heart.
Cardiac muscle cells, like all tissues in the body, rely on an ample blood supply to deliver oxygen and nutrients and to remove waste products such as carbon dioxide. The coronary arteries fulfill this function.
Contents |
Metabolism [edit]
Cardiac muscle is adapted to be highly resistant to fatigue: it has a large number of mitochondria, enabling continuous aerobic respiration via oxidative phosphorylation, numerous myoglobins (oxygen-storing pigment) and a good blood supply, which provides nutrients and oxygen. The heart is so tuned to aerobic metabolism that it is unable to pump sufficiently in ischaemic conditions. At basal metabolic rates, about 1% of energy is derived from anaerobic metabolism. This can increase to 10% under moderately hypoxic conditions, but, under more severe hypoxic conditions, not enough energy can be liberated by lactate production to sustain ventricular contractions.[3]
Under basal aerobic conditions, 60% of energy comes from fat (free fatty acids and triglycerides), 35% from carbohydrates (primarily as glucose), and 5% from amino acids and ketone bodies. However, these proportions vary widely according to nutritional state. For example, during starvation, lactate can be recycled by the heart. This is very energy efficient, because one NAD+ is reduced to NADH and H+ (equal to 2.5 or 3 ATP) when lactate is oxidized to pyruvate, which can then be burned aerobically in the TCA cycle, liberating much more energy (ca 14 ATP per cycle).
In the condition of diabetes, more fat and less carbohydrate is used due to the reduced induction of GLUT4 glucose transporters to the cell surfaces. However, contraction itself plays a part in bringing GLUT4 transporters to the surface.[4] This is true of skeletal muscle as well, but relevant in particular to cardiac muscle due to its continuous contractions.
Appearance [edit]
Striation [edit]
Cardiac muscle exhibits cross striations formed by alternating segments of thick and thin protein filaments. Like skeletal muscle, the primary structural proteins of cardiac muscle are actin and myosin. The actin filaments are thin causing the lighter appearance of the I bands in striated muscle, while the myosin filament is thicker lending a darker appearance to the alternating A bands as observed with electron microscopy. However, in contrast to skeletal muscle, cardiac muscle cells may be branched instead of linear and longitudinal.
T-Tubules [edit]
Another histological difference between cardiac muscle and skeletal muscle is that the T-tubules in the cardiac muscle are larger, broader and run along the Z-Discs. There are fewer T-tubules in comparison with skeletal muscle. Additionally, cardiac muscle forms diads instead of the triads formed between the T-tubules and the sarcoplasmic reticulum in skeletal muscle. T-tubules play critical role in excitation-contraction coupling (ECC). Recently, the action potentials of T-tubules were recorded optically by Guixue Bu et al.[5]
Intercalated discs [edit]
Intercalated discs (IDs) are complex adhering structures which connect single cardiac myocytes to an electrochemical syncytium (in contrast to the skeletal muscle, which becomes a multicellular syncytium during mammalian embryonic development) and are mainly responsible for force transmission during muscle contraction. Intercalated discs also support the rapid spread of action potentials and the synchronized contraction of the myocardium. IDs are described to consist of three different types of cell-cell junctions: the actin filament anchoring adherens junctions (fascia adherens), the intermediate filament anchoring desmosomes (macula adherens) and gap junctions. Gap junctions are responsible for electrochemical and metabolic coupling. They allow action potentials to spread between cardiac cells by permitting the passage of ions between cells, producing depolarization of the heart muscle. However, novel molecular biological and comprehensive studies unequivocally showed that IDs consist for the most part of mixed type adhering junctions named area composita (pl. areae compositae) representing an amalgamation of typical desmosomal and fascia adhaerens proteins (in contrast to various epithelia).[6][7][8] The authors discuss the high importance of these findings for the understanding of inherited cardiomyopathies (such as Arrhythmogenic Right Ventricular Cardiomyopathy, ARVC).
Under light microscopy, intercalated discs appear as thin, typically dark-staining lines dividing adjacent cardiac muscle cells. The intercalated discs run perpendicular to the direction of muscle fibers. Under electron microscopy, an intercalated disc's path appears more complex. At low magnification, this may appear as a convoluted electron dense structure overlying the location of the obscured Z-line. At high magnification, the intercalated disc's path appears even more convoluted, with both longitudinal and transverse areas appearing in longitudinal section.[9]
Role of calcium in contraction [edit]
In contrast to skeletal muscle, cardiac muscle requires extracellular calcium ions for contraction to occur. Like skeletal muscle, the initiation and upshoot of the action potential in ventricular muscle cells is derived from the entry of sodium ions across the sarcolemma in a regenerative process. However, an inward flux of extracellular calcium ions through L-type calcium channels sustains the depolarization of cardiac muscle cells for a longer duration. The reason for the calcium dependence is due to the mechanism of calcium-induced calcium release (CICR) from the sarcoplasmic reticulum that must occur under normal excitation-contraction (EC) coupling to cause contraction. Once the intracellular concentration of calcium increases, calcium ions bind to the protein troponin, which initiate extracellular fluid and intracellular stores, and skeletal muscle, which is only activated by calcium stored in the sarcoplasmic reticulum.
Regeneration of heart muscle cells [edit]
Until recently, it was commonly believed that cardiac muscle cells could not be regenerated. However, a study reported in the April 3, 2009 issue of Science contradicts that belief.[10] Olaf Bergmann and his colleagues at the Karolinska Institute in Stockholm tested samples of heart muscle from people born before 1955 when nuclear bomb testing caused elevated levels of radioactive carbon 14 in the Earth's atmosphere. They found that samples from people born before 1955 did have elevated carbon 14 in their heart muscle cell DNA, indicating that the cells had divided after the person's birth. By using DNA samples from many hearts, the researchers estimated that a 20-year-old renews about 1% of heart muscle cells per year and about 45 percent of the heart muscle cells of a 50-year-old were generated after he or she was born.

Letter to the Editor: Honor Flight the trip of a lifetime
I want to take a moment and thank the staff and volunteers of Honor Flight Cleveland for a safe and wonderful trip. Last Wednesday, (Nov. 7) my Dad John McElravy and I flew to Washington, D.C., on the Honor Flight for World War II and Korean Veterans.
The thrill of hundreds of people clapping, shaking hands, thanking and sometimes hugging of our veterans in the airport was overwhelming for my Dad and me. I am so proud to be his daughter.
We visited the World War II Memorial, Air Force Memorial, Iwo Jima, Vietnam, Memorial Wall, Korea Memorial, saw the Washington Monument, Lincoln Memorial, and finally to Arlington National Cemetery to witness the Changing of the Guard at the Tomb of The Unknown Soldiers.
Our veterans sacrificed so much to keep our freedom in the United States of America.
While on this day trip, the veterans were treated like precious cargo and I cannot say enough good things about this group. If you know anyone who served in World Word II or Korea, now is the time to nominate them to go on this fabulous trip.
It was the trip of a lifetime and will never be forgotten by either one of us.

As far as asp.net is concerned, a textbox corresponds to both input html element and the textarea html element. The only difference between a textbox rendered as an input html element and a textbox rendered as a textarea is the TextMode property. To get a textarea, TextMode is set to multiline.
In the MSDN link provided in the previous post, you can use any of the methods mentioned there except the one using QueryString. The reason is simple - a textarea will potentially have linebreaks which will be lost if the value is passed via querystring.

I'm looking to buy a new laptop. I just need to for browsing the internet, music and pictures, and then for work occasionally. I know that Mac's are very popular, but they are so much more expensive. What makes them so much better? Is it worth spending the extra money on?
A few thoughts....
This is a classic when it came out....
No bloatware. Support is in North America, Genius Bars are across the world. Warranty is international. Operating System is Unix-based. No antivirus necessary. Quality hardware. etc.etc.
Okay, time for a little clarity. The claim that MACs do not need antivirus or malware protection are completely, totally, 100%, undeniably false.
Next, the clain that the OS is any better than Windows is also false...one only had to visit the OSX support forums to read the litany of programs that crash, lock the system, etc.
To be honest, each platform (MAC vs. PC) has both strong points and weak points. I use both, and I can tell you that I hate Apples' walled garden, and having someone else dictate to me what I want and what software I can use on *MY* computer.
The days when OSX had a lead over windows in functionality and user friendliness are gone.
Basically, it comes dow to asthetics. Go with what "floats your boat". Either way, you'll have a computer that will do what you want.
One last point...claiming that Apple has no bloatware is so funny....iTunes is probably the worst pice of bloatware in wide use, and it has a nightmare interface. So, that poitn is out the window.
Hardware wise, Macs use the same technology as PCs; Intel chips, the same motherboard manufaturers, etc.
It sounds like you're used to using a PC, so I would stick with Windows if you're not very familiar with OS X.
Mac does excel in the uses you have listed such as web browsing, email, music, and pictures. And if you do not mind being nickel and dimed for every piece of software/game and like the simplicity of the Mac App Store, then this might suit you well. Especially, if you have an iTunes account and already use an iPhone or iPod device now.
The MacBook Air starts at $999 and only has an 11 inch screen and 64GB SSD drive. Your only real meaningful upgrade choices are a larger hard drive 128GB-256GB or a slightly larger 13 inch screen. Each one of these choices will cost you at least $200-300+ for a very minimal upgrade IMHO. I will say that the Mac Book Air a is quite nice looking design and the small size is appealing to me, so I would certainly use one, but I would not spend that kind of money on one when I stop to consider the performance of a PC laptop at those prices. I could also mention the MacBook Pros, but these systems are so expensive, that you are literally approaching the more rare/high end laptops that every manufacturer sells and most consumers never purchase.
When you buy Apple, you are paying for the design and name. The OS has a very nice GUI in appearance/functionality, but I still prefer Windows 7's aero peek rollover, pinned applications/websites, and one taskbar/notification area to rule them all over Apple's retro menu bar and dock offerings duality. IMHO Windows is just much easier when multitasking and navigating the file system, but that is mostly because I have used Windows for so long, perhaps. OSX does offer compelling arguments when looking at things like expose, stacks, and spaces. Finder is mostly a wash compared to Windows Explorer since I only use the detailed icons view or the list equivalent in Finder.
Apple is very proprietary in nature and hardware driver performance is somewhat lacking compared to Windows, in nearly all areas. Windows is everywhere and is a much more powerful/robust system that runs on basically all hardware and has a much higher demand for backwards compatibility. However, this legacy dependency is also one of Microsoft's biggest hurdles. Apple just tends to throw compatibility/legacy concerns to the wayside and start over.
Malicious software has never been a real concern for me, but Microsoft Security Essentials has really turned the whole third party antivirus mess on its head, so there is no reason not to use it over other offerings, nuff said. I do not really agree with the malware argument when comparing Windows to OSX, since technically, Windows is the much more secure operating system overall. It is actually designed with security in mind because it dominates in the client-server business world architecture and will continue to do so for a very long time.
UltraBooks or MacBook "clones" are starting to appear for slightly better prices right now. This is a new trend that will continue on throughout the year and into the next as Windows 8 launches later in October of this year. So, if you like the look/design of the MacBook Air, the lowend PC laptop market will be quickly adopting to this sleeker form factor and the netbook will just die, as it should.
OEM installations of Windows are mostly terrible. Wiping them and cleanly installing WIndows 7 is always the preferred method. This can be done for free with a little tech expertise since you will already have a valid Windows license with the purchase of a new Windows laptop. Of course, doing so involves finding links to download the ISO, burning it to a disc/usb, and having to use the telephone activation over the online one. You could also re-buy an OEM copy of Windows 7 online for a little over $100; this is well worth it IMHO. If you need copies of both WIndows and Office, a technet subscription is only $199 and it includes access to Microsoft's entire library of Windows/Office products for an entire year. This means that you can only download and access the technet software for up to a year before having to renew your subscription, but any downloaded software or keys are still valid after it expires, so you basically have a year to get what you need with no obligation to re-subscribe. Technet gives you 2 keys for each product and up to 10 installations per key and it is technically only for testing environment purposes
Don't take my word for it: Ask someone who owns a Mac why they own a Mac, and they'll tell you.
Apple is famous for comparing the number of apps on their phone and tablets to the competition.
How many Apps are available for the Mac? How many Apps are available for Windows?
Don't take my word for it: Ask someone who owns a Mac why they own a Mac, and they'll tell you.
End Quote
Yeah, but most can't tell you anything about their Mac, or iPhone. They don't know anything about computers. Or smartphones. They'll tell you they own it because it's cool. Go figure.
I think there are many many more software titles available for PCs. PCs don't really have "apps".
Apple's walled garden attitude towards software has contributed to them not overtaking PCs, IMHO.

VIDEO: Fire Destroys Building at Family Church in Bryant
By: KARK 4 News
Updated: September 1, 2012
Firefighters in Bryant worked a large fire that destroyed a building at Family Church Saturday evening.
Some believe lightning is to blame. When firefighters arrived the Youth Ministries building was fully engulfed in flames. It has since collapsed and officials believe it will be a total loss.
The main building of the church was not damaged.
Family Church is right off the Interstate 30, around mile marker 122.
No word on how services will be impacted Sunday.

James H. Rimmer, Ph.D.
Professor, Department of Disability and Human Development, University of Illinois at Chicago.
All Americans should engage in regular physical activity at a level appropriate to their capacities, needs, and interests. All children and adults should set and reach a goal of accumulating 30 minutes of moderate-intensity physical activity on most, and preferably all, days of the week. Those who currently meet these standards may derive additional health and fitness benefits by becoming more physically active or including more vigorous activity (NIH Consensus Statement, December 18-20, 1995).
There is no longer any doubt that moderate to vigorous levels of physical activity confer immense benefits to one's health. Since the seminal work of Morris and colleagues in the early 1950s, there has been a plethora of research, documenting the benefits of physical activity in reducing morbidity and mortality. In the past three years, this influx of research has led to reports on the health benefits of physical activity from the Surgeon General, National Institutes of Health, and American College of Sports Medicine.
Dovetailing with this fitness movement has been the increased visibility of persons with disabilities in American society. This strong disability rights movement led to the passage of three major laws addressing the rights of persons with disabilities: the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act, and the Americans with Disabilities Act. These laws guaranteed that Americans with disabilities would not be discriminated against in entities receiving federal financial assistance, in schools, in the workplace, and in other public settings, and have helped dismantle some of the common myths associated with persons with disabilities. Despite all the emphasis on physical activity and health over the last three decades, information on guidelines for exercise for persons with disabilities in general, and those with cerebral palsy in particular, is scarce. This was highlighted in a 1996 paper by Rimmer, Braddock, and Pitetti:
The benefits of physical activity and physical fitness have become one of the more popular topics in media circles, with findings from new studies being reported on the evening news, radio talk shows, and in newspapers and magazines around the country. But despite all this publicity, the message seems to be reaching only a small percentage of Americans. Much of the rest of the country remains sedentary, and despite knowing very little about the physical activity habits of persons with disabilities, it is generally accepted that they are at the forefront of this sedentary existence.
There is a pressing need for the public health community to begin to develop exercise guidelines for persons with disabilities, and for consumers to use this information to become more involved in maintaining their health and well-being.

One day this past month in Sana'a, Lili and Sofia, two Ethiopian women now living in Yemen, made their official declaration of conversion to Islam. Sheikh Abdulla Bin Farj, the head of the Islam Presentation Committee, guided them through this moment. He asked the two women to lift their index fingers.

Mohammed Mansoor was born in Aden and moved to Sana'a when he was two. Though he's now in his twenties, he still speaks like an Adeni, using regional slang from the South. But only in his home and with his family. On the street—with work colleagues and friends—he tries to speak more like the people around him.

Yemen has long been noted for its unique history. Proof of this is the numerous historic relics found in museums and archaeological sites that piece together the country's rich cultural heritage. However, questions are now being posed regarding how serious concerned authorities are about protecting the country's antiques against saboteurs and merchants looking to earn a quick buck by smuggling and selling the historic valuables.

The short film, "Picture," just won the second place prize at the Meknes International Festival for youth cinema in Morocco, and now the film has been invited to be screened at the Arabian Camera Festival in the Netherlands. However, the film's director, Yemeni poet, Swsan Al-Ariqi, will be forced to submit and watch her film online, from home, because there is no staff at the Dutch Embassy to issue her a visa to the Netherlands.

"All Together," an operetta that offers social commentary focused on events relating to the 2011 revolution has captivated audiences for nearly two weeks. Showcased in various cultural centers and halls across Sana'a and sponsored by the Bader Development Organization, the performance uses artistic expression as a way of remembering and learning from a bloody and simultaneously peaceful period in Yemen's history.

For many years, anti-qat campaigners have been working to eradicate or at least curb the use of qat in Yemen. Despite several campaigns, initiatives, and associations started to raise awareness about the health hazards and the environmental impact of the leaf, Yemen remains inundated with consumption of the mild narcotic. However, over the last several months, the battle cries of anti-qat campaigns have noticeably increased.

I don't watch Keeping Up With the Kardashians, but I heard about one incident in the most recent episode that puzzled me. In it, Kanye West forces Kim Kardashian to empty out her closet. He and his stylist then partner up to give her wardrobe a makeover, leaving little room for Kim's objections. So is this weird and kind of jerk-y, or is it nice of Kanye to give his girlfriend a bunch of new clothes? Watch the scene here and let us know what you think!
I think it would be so boring if someone came in and replaced all my clothes with new ones, boyfriend or not. Half the fun of getting fresh items is shopping for them, and I would never want someone to just swoop in and do all the work for me! Plus, if I'm dating a guy, I would expect him to like me just the way I am, even if I wore a garbage bag every day. Sorry, Kanye, this isn't cool! [via Reality TV Vixens]
Was this fine for Kanye to do, or not?

You and about 10 others at least.. don't take it too personally..
I can only think of 7, unless you are more heartless than you seem. Inside you are probably a good person, and I always give you the benefit of the doubt when negative thoughts about you enter my head.
Here is your list as I see it, with your thoughts on each of the subjects:
Me (definite ban, though I mean well and have overcome severe emotional trauma due to addiction to Skinemax)
Hombre (ban for sure, take away his dr. license as well)
Ali (not even close, deserves ban the most, candidate for insane asylem and AA)
OAR (enjoys intimacy with animals, throw him under the jail)
House (though he rarely visits now, throw him under OAR under the jail)
CampyBob (borderline convict, future gun-nut holed up in cabin shooting at the ATF)
Whareagle (double digit IQ, 5th grader on "Who is Smarter than a 5th Grader")
I really wish you would change your mind about all of us. We are really nice people if you get to know us. You just need to take the time and look at our good qualities instead of concentrating on your negative perceptions of us.
As a friend, I suggest a book by Dale Carnegie "How to Win Friends and Influence People" for your reading. If you practice what that book preaches, you may even talk me into lovin some Danilo Diluca.
Take care.

Christopher Plummer (I)Until the 2009 Academy Awards were announced, it could be said about Christopher Plummer that he was the finest actor of the post-World War II period to fail to get an Academy Award. In that, he was following in the footsteps of the late great John Barrymore, whom Plummer so memorably portrayed on Broadway in a one-man show that brought him his second Tony Award...
