Another unknown is the high altitude snowfall rates.
"We know almost nothing about precipitation at high altitude and its spatial variation," said Immerzeel. "We installed several gauges at 5,000 meters (16,400 feet), but maintenance and getting accurate long-term records remains a challenge."
Then there is the big difference between the glaciers in the Eastern Himalaya -- which receive moisture from the Indian Monsoon -- and the western Himalayan glaciers the Karakoram.
But climate models have great difficulty simulating the monsoon.
"They can hardly reproduce the past, and the future is an even larger challenge," said Immerzeel. Better high-resolution models validated with ground data are required to solve this, but this is not something that is done overnight.
"We had an acceleration of mass loss since the 90s in the Eastern Himalaya, where the monsoon is the main control," said Rowan. Over the next century they could continue to lose mass, but changes in the monsoon could offset that, she said. "So glacier melt [in the eastern Himalaya] may not be a problem."
On the other hand, glaciers in the Karakoram seem to be gaining mass. Which just goes to show, again, how complicated the Himalaya climate picture is and how poorly understood it is.
Still, while there is still a long way to go, the new assessment is a huge improvement over the 2007 report, which was based on the little information that was then available.
"There were very limited peer reviewed publications and conclusions were drawn on grey literature sources, because of the lack of properly published studies," said Immerzeel. "This has now all changed and a body of literature has developed over the past years on which AR5 (Assessment Report 5) is based."
To move ahead further, one thing is clearly needed: more field work to study what exactly is happening to the glaciers on the world's premiere mountains.

Genre: Historical Romance
Adam Clayborne has no desire for a wife no matter what his mother believes. But once he see the beautiful Genevieve, he's not so sure he wants to remain a bachelor. Genevieve would like to be Adam's bride. After reading his letters to Mama Rose and listening to his mama's stories, she cares for him, but she has troubles of her own and does not want to burden Adam with her past.
Though neither will admit it, they are strongly attracted to one another, and they agree that she should be on her way. But Adam follows her when she sneaks off. When Genevieve's nemesis catches up to them, Adam makes up his mind to find out just what kind of trouble she's in and to get her out of it with a little help from his "friends."
I have waited for Adam's story since I read the last word in For the Roses. The wait was worth it. ONE RED ROSE is as heartwarming and charming as the rest of the series. Though this ends one phase in the saga, it begins another with elusive Daniel Ryan. Readers will adore Genevieve and feel their hearts have been warmed by seeing Adam meet his match and finally find a bride. Ms. Garwood has a gift for sending our hearts soaring and for writing feel-good stories that stay with you forever. This is one more. SWEET (Aug., 145 pp., $2.99)

They said what? Politicians' best (or worst) quotes of 2013
This is the slightly twisted time of year when we look back with fondness, horror, disbelief and no little amount of wincing to review what came out of the mouths of our politicians since last January.

Sen. Saxby Chambliss on rape in the military( Alex Wong/Getty Images / January 25, 2013 )
As Congress debated an epidemic of rapes in the military, Sen. Saxby Chambliss, R-Ga., scoffed: "Gee whiz. The hormone level created by nature sets in place the possibility for these types of things to occur."

Every February, Black History Month prompts speeches, seminars, gatherings and concerts. But retired Baptist minister and longtime rights activist Ann Gray Byrd of Santa Rosa has marked the occasion in her own way.
Byrd is the author of "Glimpses: A History of African Americans in Santa Rosa," working in collaboration with former Press Democrat staff writer Sheri Graves.
There is a rich local history that often is overlooked, and a long list of African-Americans have made a local difference, Byrd said. Many of them are profiled in the book, which she self-published in 2011.
"If I had not written this book, all of that would be lost," she said. "I am who I am because of the people in this book."
One local history maker is Jesse Love, a survivor of the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor in 1941, who settled in Santa Rosa after the war and helped start one of the county's oldest black churches, Community Baptist. He died at age 91 last year.
Another example is Platt Williams, who co-founded the Sonoma County chapter of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) in 1954, and still lives in Santa Rosa.
Byrd's family also is part of local black history. Her parents, Gilbert and Alice Gray, were Williams' partners in starting the local NAACP, and also were founders of Community Baptist Church.
Byrd has carried on the family tradition, serving as the president of the Sonoma County NAACP for the past four years. She also is a winner of the organization's Legacy Award.
One of nine children, Byrd came to Santa Rosa's South Park neighborhood with her family more than 60 years ago.
"Santa Rosa was very segregated in 1951," she said. "South Park was where black families lived."
Today Byrd, now 78, lives in northwest Santa Rosa with her son, the Rev. Curtis Byrd.
Originally conceived as Negro History Week in 1926, Black History Month was first celebrated in 1970 at Kent State University in Ohio.

LOUISVILLE, KY (WAVE) – On Wednesday, March 5, WAVE 3 News will join the National Weather Service, Kentucky Weather Preparedness Committee and the Kentucky Broadcasters Association for an annual statewide tornado drill.
At 10:07 a.m. EST viewers in Kentucky will see an emergency test message on their television screens and hear emergency alert tones and sirens. NOAA weather radios will also be activated.
[RELATED STORY: The loud truth about tornado sirens]
Wednesday's test is a higher level test than the monthly tests and will interrupt the TODAY Show.
Anyone who hears the emergency alerts should not be alarmed. The test is just part of making sure you can stay up to date when there actually is an emergency.
The test was originally scheduled to take place on Tuesday, March 3, but was rescheduled so students attending schools that canceled classes could participate in tornado drills.

Visits from Colleges
Each semester, college representatives from many California State Universities (CSU), University of California (UC) branches, and private colleges visit Skyline College to answer student questions regarding admissions and transfer requirements, financial aid, housing, student life, and more. Depending on the college, representatives will either meet with students for a one-to-one appointment or else on a drop-in basis. For drop-ins, a table for the college is set up in Building 6 in the Student Center.
Why should you meet with a college representative?
College representatives have first-hand knowledge and experience regarding their colleges, have up-to-date information regarding admissions to their colleges, and in general are a great resource to provide you with detailed information regarding their respective colleges.
How do I schedule an appointment to meet with a college representative?
There are several ways in which you can schedule an appointment to meet with a college representative:
- Click here to register via WebSMART
- Call the Transfer Center at (650) 738-4232
- Email the Transfer Center
- Note: When calling or emailing, please leave us your name, student ID number (G#), and the title, date, and time of the workshop you would like to attend.
Please Note: College representatives located in Building 6 do not require appointments.

37 User Reviews of Coral Princess Cruise Ship
This is a review of the Princess CruiseTour we took May 31 – June 14, 2014. The selected tour was a 7-day "Off The Beaten Path†land tour followed by a southbound "Voyage of the Glaciers†on Coral Princess. The selected tour punched our three buttons; Denali National Park, Alaska Railroad and Kenai Peninsula. A similar tour was offered as a Connoisseur tour. We decided the amenities offered were not worth the additional expense.
The travelers were my wife and I (mid 50s) and two friends (mid 60s.) This would our first CruiseTour experience. My wife and I were embarking on our fourth Princess cruise, eleventh overall. Our friends were experiencing their first cruise.
Overall impressions: Four thumbs up. I am so glad we went to Alaska and spent the time we did on land. Of the land based lodges our favorite was Keani. The best overall experience was at Denali lodge and then the train trip between Denali and Talkeetna. Wish we had given ourselves a little more time to go into Fairbanks. Seemed like there was much to see there and we were too tired to take advantage of it. They toldus there were such things as "sunset†and "sunrise†which may be true but it never really got dark, even when overcast, while with we in the Alaskan mainland. We did see dark again while cruising the inside passage.
A word about logistics: We arrived at Fairbanks airport, collected our luggage (at least most of it) and reported to the Princess table next to the baggage claim. We were given an envelope with our room key, luggage tags, and information regarding our stay in Fairbanks. The information sheet had our room number, information about the lodge – map and restaurant hours – and information regarding booked tours, as well as meeting information for our next destination. While the key looks generic it is specific to each lodge, so leave them behind you.
The luggage tags included a "meet me on board†tag for a suitcase that would be transported directly to the ship, and a "travel with me†tag for a large bag that would be moved from location to location. There was also a separate tag indicating our next location. As we arrived at each lodge we were met by a Princess employee with similar envelopes containing lodge information and luggage tags for the next destination. (I assume for post-cruse tours you receive your info for your first stop either at embarkation or arrival at the lodge.)
I think this is going to be wordy. I have divided the review into four sections; Lodges, Land Activities, Coral Princes, and Bays and Ports. Feel free to skip past sections that are not of interest to you.
Each lodge had at least a coffee bar of some sort, a casual-ish bar
This is only to inform you that the Coral Photo Mugs we got in the Calypso Cove leak liquids through the sides of the mugs. This could be dangerous. They leak at a rapid rate and are not useable.
This our first cruise on Princess thru the canal. We have done four other cruises on Holland America (x2) and Royal Caribbean (x2) . being our second cruise thru the Canal we were interested in seeing the changes for the new locks. We are in our mid to late fifties . I suffer from very bad knees that restrict how much Walking I can do.
Princess Cruise Air and Transfers: We selected this option as it was the cheap airfare and a hotel was included at Fort Lauderdale. We are going to take this option with Princess transfers again. The only problem with their flight schedule was that if a flight was late you had to Quickly run or jog to your next flight. On arrival in FLL we where met by the Princess Rep and transferred directly to the hotel . We where impressed as how Princess handle Delayed or lost luggage . The transfer to Port Everglades was very smooth and on time as scheduled or a little earlier..
Embarkation: What impressed us most was how quick we went thru the pre-boarding lines And onto the ship. The totaltime from getting of the bus to being in our cabin was less The 30 min. The cabin was ready and the cabin steward introduced himself with 30 min. HAL and RCI could learn on how to do embarkations this fast.
Accommodation: We originally where got a price from our TA for BH Balcony on Dolphin Deck . Before we even put A deposit down we were upgrade to a BA cabin on Aloha deck under the Adult's only Pool ??? The layout of the cabin was the best we have ever had. Ther was no wasted space with a couch and Coffee table . The closet was more adequate for my wife's clothes . Most of my cloths were On the shelves except for my formal outfit.
Ports: The scheduled port s where Aruba, Cartagena, Fuerto Amador , Puntarenas , Huatulco Acapulco and Cabo san Lucas. The only ports we went ashore Cartagena, Huatulco and Acapulco. Huatulco we went ashore to see the Pink Church on the beach . Acapulco was to visit the fort overlooking the harbor. The rest of the time we just stayed on the ship and relaxed in different quiet spots on deck and around the Wheelhouse Bar.
Food: We ate most of our breakfasts in the Horizon Court on Lido deck. We normally had lunch and diner In the dining room. We had chosen "Anytime Dining" . We normally had supper at 5:30 with MDR opening at 5:15 . I noticed that if you waited until 6:30 you could have a long wait. The wife found the fish cooked to perfection even in the Horizon Court. The only problem we found was with the smoked salmon that was served . It had a tendency to soft and watery . This might just be a personal preference as we both grew up wild smoked sockeye salmon (Pacific Salmon)
Ship in general: The ship was very good condition. Everything was well laid out and in good shape. The only issue we had was that teenagers would run up and down the halls until all hours and the parents didn't seem to care or notice . A couple of times we saw toddlers crawling on the floor of the MDR as stewards were trying to serve tables and carry large trays of meals.
Weather: The weather was usually sunny (85 gegrees) with high humidity (90-100%) . The first sea day after leaving FLL we were in a Force 7 sea and wind condition. They closed the promenade deck for walking during the short period. As we left Cabo the temperature started to drop and sea fog formed for a few hours . The temperature dropped to the high 70's as we approached San Pedro Pier.
Disembarkation: Again Princess was well organized and disembarkation was a efficient as embarkation. The only hold up US Customs in processing the passengers. We used the Princess transfers to LAX . With a 9AM disembarkation we be late getting to LAX . We disembarked 15min early and arrived at LAX within 45 min.
Misc items: We saw whales as we left Cabo . Between Panama and Acapulco we saw two sea turles. Numerous dolphins and flying fish where observed.
Five of us (2 brothers and their wives, and a sister) travelled together -- between us we had 2 balcony mini-suites next to each other, and an interior cabin. The former were spacious, clean, had ample storage space, and a very generous balcony which easily sat all 5 of us. Service in our cabins was excellent and we really enjoyed being able to place a fruit order each day, which was delivered to our cabin (however the interior cabin suffered from lack of attention in this regard).
The whole ship seemed clean and well cared for and the staff was friendly and helpful. We particularly appreciated our 2 servers in the Provence dining room where we had the "late" seating.
Food onboard was excellent, considering the huge amounts the kitchens had to produce. With the Provence, the Horizon buffet, and room service we never went hungry. We tried the "specialty" restaurant Sabatini's one night and enjoyed the quiet ambience and incredible attention. However, the food was not especially better than what we had in the Provence. So for $20 each extra, we weren't sure it was really worth it.
Every deck seems tohave its own laundry room with about 8 washers and dryers and 2 irons. Soap is for sale and is not too expensive, and neither are the machines. Mornings are a busy time for laundry -- late afternoon is better.
The library is so well stocked that we all regreted lugging books from home in our suitcases.
Internet service is excellent with about 12 stations in all.
Our best shore excursion was "Costa Rica's Favourites with Lunch," with a knowledgeable, enthusiastic guide in a beautiful country.
We found Princess to be as efficient and competent as any well run hotel and as good as any other cruise line we've traveled on. We wouldn't hesitate to recommend either Princess or the cruise through the Canal (from LA to Fort Lauderdale).
That being said, there were a few areas that concerned us:
Shortly after we boarded we realized that our 2 balcony cabins were on the "smoking" side of the ship. Nowhere in the literature had we noticed that Port side is "smoking." Fortunately for us, neither of our immediate neighbours were smokers, but we did meet another passenger who had a rather unpleasant altercation with the smoker in the cabin/balcony next to his. Next time, we will ensure we are on the non-smoking side of the ship.
Princess offers a variety of shore excursions for each port varying from the sedentary to the energetic. Three of us opted for the more energetic ones and we had issues with some of them. Princess, who seems very safety conscious as far as the ship goes, seems unaware of the laxity of standards on some of their excursions.
The "Huatulco river float" warned of the necessity of our donning life jackets and helmets, so one of our party didn't bring his sun hat, thinking it superfluous, only to find that just the life jackets were distributed and consequently he had to spend an hour or so on the river in the hot sun, hatless.
"Colonial Leon and Bubbling Mud Pots" resulted in our being let loose in a field of hot springs erupting through a layer of mud with the only supervision being 10 year old local children who spoke only Spanish. One of our group received a bad burn to one foot when it sunk into super-hot mud where the group was walking. This resulted in several trips to the ship's well-equipped and staffed medical centre. Although the usual medical fees and costs were waived, the injury had a serious dampening impact on the rest of the cruise for those involved.
The tour through the "Mangrove Tunnels" in Cartagena meant that we were punted (4 to a canoe) around a mangrove swamp (from which all the birds and beasts had fled) in a very decrepit, leaky, tippy, dug out canoe perched inches above the filthy water, by a guide who spoke not a word of English.
Princess needs to send its staff out to re-check some of the excursions it offers!
Princess movies offered in the large theatres were a disappointment in both the selection (too many chick flicks) and the timing (usually middle of the day when we are either at lunch or just returning from a shore excursion). Given the number of "at sea" days, better movie entertainment would easily be possible.
We only went to one of the "Scholarship at Sea" lectures and were treated to a dull lecture, read off a power point display, that was far too reminiscent of my grade 10 geography class.
The ship's photographers, while professional in their finished product, were often intrusive to the point of harassment.
We would have preferred more time in each of the ports -- some of which we were only docked at for half a day -- which was not enough time for sightseeing as well as shopping.
And finally, our shipboard account -- delivered to us on the day before departure -- was full of unexplained "codes" and was almost incomprehensible. It might save frustration in the long run to stop by the passenger service desk every day to check the account and verify all the entries.
This was a cruise/land tour combination. The cruise was really wonderful. The ship is very well done, great service, good food, lots of options. Shore excursions were super. Only problem...this ship was always the farthest away from town when it docked in all three cruise ports (Juneau, Skagway and Ketchican). That was a real big drawback for us.
The land tour was quite different. Princess Lodges are very nice and comfortable. However, the food is the same at all their lodges (with few exceptions), and it is just satisfactory. And it was extremely expensive! Like eating in the Hamptons (where I'm from). That was disappointing to say the least. Excursions from the lodges were quite varied, and most were really wonderful.
I'd recommend the cruise very highly and the land tour as quite good. However, find a grocery store and stock up for the land tour.
We've been on numerous cruises on many lines and this is our second Christmas (2006 & 2007) cruise on the Coral. It was a repeat booking due to complete satisfaction.
Met some good friends (R&A) on first cruise on the Coral, who also joined us on this 2007 trip.
Everything was great. The entertainment (Denise Canby Trio) was with us for both trips. We spent seven nights enjoying both their music and company.
We will definitely book on this ship again.
We cruised to the Panama Canal, departing and returning from Ft. Lauderdale, accompanied by another couple. We did not utilize any ship-sponsored tours and have no comment on them.
We had a balcony stateroom, ample room to move about and excellent storage; service to our room was top-notch; we could leave for a short time and the room would be clean, beds made, by the time we returned.
Entertainment was generally very good with the exception of one comedian who "bombed". We played bingo every day (tip: bring your own bingo daubers, they don't supply). The jackpot starts out at around $1100 and increases $150/day until won, but the game is arranged so that it won't likely be won until the end of the cruise. Tip: wait until the last day, play then and make off with the jackpot.
The ship's crew and staff were fantastically friendly, smiles all the time even when confronted with some trying guests (not us, of course!).
Only one disappointment: The FOOD. It was not quite as good as we have experienced on other cruise ships; strange, exotic combinations of dishes but without a great deal of flavor. Wefound much of it to be bland, especially the coffee. Also disappointing: They charge for soft drinks, water, coffee service if requested in a lounge, etc. At current cruise prices, we felt these should be "no charge".
Princess has "anytime dining" which is great, but reservations need to be made because everyone wants to eat around the same time to save time for the shows.
CASINO was just "OK"; not many big winners, few newer video machines, many older 25-cent and $1 mechanical reels. The "cash out" feature in the casino allows you to transfer $$ in and out of a machine on your room/account card; very neat and handy.
All in all, we enjoyed our cruise and we felt that Princess gives good value and a pleasant experience for the money. Another tip: if you take this cruise to the canal, read David McCullough's "The Path Between the Seas" beforehand and buy Anne Vipond's "Panama Canal by Cruise Ship" -- you won't be disappointed.
On October 31, 2007 we sailed on the Coral Princess to the Panama Canal. Due to a storm we had to rearrange our route. We went to Grand Cayman instead of going to Aruba first. Grand Cayman was not one of the ports we were to visit, so it was a pleasure to get this port. All the other ports, including our last which was Aruba, followed the route.
Our cabin was terrific. We had the best cabin steward (Samuel Bernardino). He was great.
We ate most of our meals in the food court because we didn't always want to get dressed up. The food was terrific. The crew we had in the food court for breakfast was great (we had Maynard Ron, Carlos and Mark). Their service was the best we had the whole cruise. Sorry we didn't have them for all the meals, but they were only there during breakfast. The evening service in the food court for dinner was the worst. Not enough help to handle what needed to be done. But the food was good.
The entertainment was outstanding. Did not see one show that was not great.
Theboarding and embarking was handled the best of the many cruises I have been on. The only drawback was that 10 cruise ships arrived in Fort Lauderdale on November 10th so the airport was a total mess. We got to the airport at 9:00 A.M and our flight was at 2:32 P. M. They would not let us check in until 11:30 A.M. so we had to lug our luggage at the airport while we waited. Not enough seats to sit down. Our airline was Air Tram.
Other than the airport, it was a great cruise. Coral Princess was one of the cleanest ships I have cruised on. We were a group of 8 people. I would highly recommend this cruise.
Beautiful Ship. No complaints in this department.
Everything very clean and in top shape.
Food Buffet was good to excellent. Fruit was always fresh and items were plentiful. Pizzaria we ate at once. The pizzas and salads were good. We chose personal choice dining and it was very good. All meals and appetizers during meals were very good. I had a crayfish gumbo, which was very good and the crab legs were delicious. My only complaint in the food and drink department was I wish more iced tea and water stations were put out on different levels. The only place I could get tea and water was the buffet or restaurants.
Entertainment Music Shows were good. The comedians and variety shows were great.
Cabin Rooms were nice. We had three in our room. My husband, son, and I. They made a bunk for our son. The beds were comfy. It was an inside cabin and Lou, our room attendant, was polite and only took care of the room "okay." We left obvious dirty dishes on the table and came back to beds turned down and still dirty dishes. We left them outside ourroom and they eventually disappeared. Fruit in our room was only filled once and never refilled. Lots of storage space for all our clothes, and suitcases fit under the bed fine. TV choices were good, CNN, Cartoon network, travel, and lots of movie choices. My only complaint, no clock in the room. We brought our own, from previous history, but not sure why this isn't a staple in the room.
The weather was absolutely beautiful on all days but the last coming back into San Diego. It was cool and windy. A little cool the first day as we departed San Diego area, but not as cool as last day at sea.
Childcare Program I had an 11 year old, and he didn't care too much for the children's program. They had an interesting program set up, but he didn't give it much of a chance. He hung out with us at the pool and went with us to ship events.
Spa and Fitness Lots of equipment. I went in the afternoons a couple of times and equipment was always available. Didn't try the morning. Didn't try any spa services.
Shopping Gold bracelets and watches were available in the sidewalk sale. No big sales in this area.
Art Auctions They had a few, but I didn't attend.
Ports The ports were great. First stop was Cabos San Lucas. We rented a "water taxi" boat and took a short 45 minute tour of the bay area. Then he dropped us off at "The Office" (Mexican bar/restaurant) on the beach. We caught a water taxi back to the cruise boat area to catch the tender. Cost was $12 a person, and my son was free. Second stop was Mazatlan. We caught an open air taxi and went to the gold zone. There we went to the beach and caught a catamaran over to Deer Island where we swam about an hour and then took the catamaran back to the mainland. It was $30 for all of us. The last stop was in Puerto Vallerta, and we took a Haciena, Tequilla, Tile Tour. It was okay. I'm glad I got to see all of Puerto Valleera, but wouldn't take it again. Too much shopping for me. I'm not a fan of shopping.
All in all, a great cruise and I would do again in a heartbeat.
This was cruise number two for my wife and I and our best friends. If we weren't hooked on cruising after our first sailing, we're definitely hooked now. We can only compare it to our initial cruise on the Costa Classica. Our itinerary this time took us return from Ft Lauderdale directly to the Panama Canal; Colon (Cristobal), Panama; Limon, Costa Rica; Ocho Rios, Jamaica; Grand Cayman, Cayman Islands; and Cozumel, Mexico. This was 10 days of absolute pleasure followed by 4 days of relaxing in Ft Lauderdale to round out the two weeks.
We flew from Toronto to Ft Lauderdale, one day in advance of our cruise and stayed at the Hyatt Pier 66. Our room in this hotel was a little dirty and noisy and definitely not worth the price we were charged. I complained (which I rarely do) but it didn't make any difference, as there were no other rooms. We returned to this hotel after our cruise and did not fare much better, but the room was cleaner. Keep in mind I expect a lot for $350.00 US per night, but I also understand that "reasonable ratesin Ft Lauderdale" is an oxymoron.
Now for the cruise. Embarkation was quick and efficient. There were gates for each deck level and this really sped things up. If you're traveling from Canada with non-Canadian citizens or landed immigrants, you must surrender your temporary visitors' visa until you leave the ship. Upon entry to the ship a quick photo is taken for which you'll pay later, of course (who can resist?). We were greeted by staff and directed to the elevator. I had expected to see the main atrium/lobby but that is not where we entered. After finding our way to our cabins (D415 and D417) on the Dolphin level, we immediately checked out our mini-suite. It was a nice size with a double bed, sofa, chair and coffee table. A mini bar, desk area and two televisions rounded out our needs for the next 10 days. The washroom was large with a tub and shower and the storage closet was plenty. A foam eggshell mattress cover was already installed, but if you don't get this I suggest you ask for one. The balcony was much larger than we expected and was quickly opened up to join our friends next door. We used these balconies every day for morning coffee, and afternoon cocktails, and they were well worth the upgrade. D415 had an open view above and D417 was partially covered by the balcony above. This combination was excellent for giving us sun or shade whenever we wanted it. After the mini-suite inspection we set off to tour the ship and to find out where everything was.
We found the Coral to be beautiful. The Princess Plaza is a 4-story atrium with splendid spiral staircases, flanked with palm trees. The glass elevators with sparkling lights zoom up and down the atrium from the Plaza to Emerald level. Most of these levels are filled with bars, lounges and shops. Forward, off the atrium, are the restaurants. The Provence Dining Room is on the Fiesta level where the first and second seatings take place. Down one level on the Plaza is the Bordeaux Dining Room where we ate. This is an "anytime" dining room and proved to be excellent. We did not reserve a table, although it is possible. We just showed up and usually got a table for 4 right away. On a couple of occasions we sat at larger tables and met different people each time. The service was good, but some of the waiters were better than others. Our second formal night was lobster night and I've never eaten so much delicious lobster at one time. I'm not sure if it was our timing or if they do that for everyone, but after our plates were delivered to us, a second platter of lobster tails was placed on our table. After that we were asked if we wanted more. "Who ever heard of all you can eat lobster tails?" The following night it was the same, only with King Crab. We also tried out the two specialty restaurants, The Bayou Café and Sabatini's, located on the Promenade Deck. The food at the Bayou Café was outstanding, however, the constant vibration under my feet was annoying. Sabatini's was also good, however, it was way too much food for us. For a $15.00 surcharge, you should definitely do the Bayou Café.
The rest of our meals (breakfast and lunch) were eaten at the Horizon Court Buffet on the Lido deck. The selection was excellent and there were frequent changes so as not to get bored. The Horizon is on the very front of the ship so it is pleasant to watch the sun come up as you eat breakfast. It is a little bouncy though, so if motion bothers you, head for the back. Up one more level, off the center pool, you can hit the burger grill or pizza stand for the best pizza I have had in a long time.
The ports on the cruise were very nice, but if I did it over again I may select different activities. We like to go to the beach and do a little shopping so that is what we aim for at most ports. Of course, Panama is all about the canal and the locks. We reached Panama after two days at sea. This was a fascinating day that began at 5:00 am with room service. The ship arrives very early and almost in the dark. It's a slow trek into the canal and very quiet and peaceful. As daylight appears you realize you are being escorted into the entrance of the first Gatun Lock. The journey through the locks is just over an hour, and by the time we reached Gatun Lake the temperature was very hot. Here you can depart for Panama City or many other excursions. We chose to stay on the ship and go back through the locks a second time on our way to Cristobal, Panama. We were greeted by the native Embera Indians singing and dancing dockside. Shopping for native crafts and art was available dockside as well.
The next port was Limon, Costa Rica where we took a canal boat ride through the Costa Rican rainforest. Here we saw a lot of wildlife including sloth, birds, lizards, and even bats. The bus ride back was also entertaining as our bus driver and tour guide stopped each time they saw something of interest. Later we arrived at a banana plantation where we saw the entire process including picking, washing and packaging. It was a very enjoyable tour and I highly recommend it.
After another day at sea, we finally reached Ocho Rios, Jamaica, and for us this was a beach day. We walked to the beach from the dock and enjoyed the sun. If you take the tour with lunch, the food and service is never ending. There was some musical entertainment on the beach and massages were available at a fraction of the cost of the ship. The water was warm, but watch for the jellyfish. We also did a little shopping about a block from the pier.
Next it was on to Grand Cayman and another beach day. Seven-Mile Beach was very nice, but the wind was real strong that day. There wasn't very much shade and the drinks that came with our package were all gone before we each got one. A $5.00 taxi ride to the beach would have been a smarter move considering this package cost around $30.00 per person. The sand and water were beautiful.
The next port was Cozumel and we also took a beach day and expected to do some shopping. The chairs we were given were molded fiberglass and stuck in the sand. This is not good if you want to roll over and lay on your stomach. They were crazy and not worth paying for. The beer was included though, and this softened the blow. (Beer or wine solves most problems -- lol.)
In conclusion, we had a very memorable trip. From the nightly chocolates on our bed to the platters of deserts on the buffet, we thoroughly enjoyed every minute of our Princess cruise. This cruise will be a tough one to beat. The ship, the staff, the food and the adventure itself all exceeded our expectations.

October 31, 2003Leslie-- Results of the autopsy on a Sumter County baby will not be released. A criminal investigation is underway in the death of eight-month-old Haley Bone.
Investigators told us Monday it appears she died from Shaken Baby Syndrome--but the Americus District Attorney won't release information until the investigation is complete.
Haley Bone was under the care of her baby-sitter when she was taken to the hospital last Thursday. The baby-sitter has temporarily lost custody of her own child and she's hired a lawyer.

Some of his Chemistry 101 students sat in the back of the lecture hall and spaced out. Others simply left class as they pleased. "Maybe you're just not a good teacher," his department head said when LaCourse sought advice.
"We need to do something drastic," he remembers thinking as he and his colleagues dreamed up a space they christened the Chemistry Discovery Center. The center would become a prime example of the teaching innovation that is a major component of UMBC's rising national reputation.
It feels like an alternate dimension compared to the freshman lectures you might remember. A large class is broken into teams of four, with each member serving a defined role such as "scribe" or "manager." The teams work through a series of chemistry problems, with professors circulating to take questions instead of speaking from the front of the room. If students arrive late, they're denied entry. They get five minutes of bathroom time in a two-hour class period, and cell phones are verboten. It seems more like elementary school than college.
But the idea has worked.
Since the center's inception six years ago, the failure rate for Chemistry 101 has been halved to 15 percent, and the number of chemistry majors at the university has doubled to 160. UMBC officials say these gains are vital at a time when schools around the country are straining to produce more graduates in science, technology, engineering and math, also known as the STEM fields.
At a more essential level, says UMBC President Freeman A. Hrabowski III, the chemistry center speaks to his institution's soul.
"What you see from our faculty, across disciplines, is an excitement about experimentation," Hrabowski says. "We're honest about looking in the mirror and saying what works and what doesn't. But when they're thinking of trying new approaches, we don't want them to worry about what might not succeed."
Hrabowski was recently featured in a "60 Minutes" television piece describing the university as one of the most progressive in the country. When the Carnegie Corp. gave Hrabowski a $500,000 leadership prize this fall, it cited the university's pervasive focus on teaching excellence. For the last three years, U.S. News & World Report has included UMBC on a list of 10 universities most focused on undergraduate teaching. A billboard along Interstate 95 touts that UMBC tied with Yale on the 2012 list.
"It's part of our culture," Hrabowski says. "It comes out of the faculty. They're constantly thinking about how to make students succeed."
The most acclaimed success story from Hrabowski's tenure at UMBC is the Meyerhoff Scholars Program, which funnels top minority students to doctoral studies in STEM fields.
"But this is different," Hrabowski says of the more recent course redesigns. "It's about creating approaches that make sure the average student does well. Taking care of the best-prepared students is not enough."
To goose the process, Hrabowski plans to start an innovation fund using his Carnegie prize. Faculty will be able to apply for grants when they have ideas for new or revamped courses.
UMBC officials note that the course redesigns have not been exclusive to the sciences. Revamped psychology courses have also produced higher pass rates, and the English faculty is redesigning freshman composition courses to include more training in visual media and more one-on-one coaching.
Many courses retain a traditional lecture format, but from Hrabowski on down, the university's leaders talk about more interactive approaches as the wave of the future.
"My experience of college was sitting in the back of a lecture hall and falling asleep," says interim Provost Philip Rous. "That teaching style is just not that effective for a lot of students. Just because that's the way we experienced it does not mean that's the most effective way to do things."
It was frustration with the failure of the old way that prompted LaCourse to blow up the way UMBC taught chemistry.
"A lot of it was gut," he says of the changes. "I didn't know what I was doing when I started."

AP Business NewsBrief at 8:20 p.m. EST
(Associated Press Via Acquire Media NewsEdge) Schapiro's SEC successor likely to follow her leadWASHINGTON (AP) _ The leadership of the Securities and Exchange Commission will change next month. Its approach to regulation probably won't. Mary Schapiro will step down as chairwoman after a tumultuous tenure in which she helped lead the government's regulatory response to the 2008 financial crisis.
Cyber Monday likely to be busiest online sales dayNEW YORK (AP) _ Americans clicked away on their computers and smartphones for deals on Cyber Monday, which is expected to be the biggest online shopping day in history. Shoppers are expected to spend $1.5 billion on Cyber Monday, up 20 percent from last year, according to research firm comScore. That would not only make it the biggest online shopping day of the year, but the biggest since comScore started tracking shoppers' online buying habits in 2001.
Euro officials reach deal to reduce Greek debtBRUSSELS (AP) _ A European Union official has told The Associated Press Tuesday that a deal has been reached that would pave the way for Greece to receive the next installment of its much-needed bailout loans. Part of the agreement is that the target for Greece's debt levels - one of the conditions of the deal going ahead - would reach 124 percent of its gross domestic product by 2020. The original goal had been 120 percent of GDP.
Stocks end lower after a strong weekNEW YORK (AP) _ Wall Street came back to work after the Thanksgiving weekend and faced leftover worries about the "fiscal cliff" and the European debt crisis. Stocks retreated after one of their best weeks of the year. The Dow Jones industrial average fell 42.31 points to 12,967.37. The Standard & Poor's 500 index declined 2.86 to 1,406.29. And the Nasdaq composite index managed a 9.93-point increase to 2,976.78.
Wal-Mart distances itself from fire in BangladeshDHAKA, Bangladesh (AP) _ The garment factory in Bangladesh where a weekend fire killed at least 112 people had been making clothes for Wal-Mart without the giant U.S. retailer's knowledge, Wal-Mart said. Wal-Mart said the Tazreen Fashions Ltd. factory was no longer authorized to produce merchandise for Wal-Mart but that a supplier subcontracted work to it "in direct violation of our policies." AP IMPACT: NYC flood protection won't be easyNEW YORK (AP) _ Inside tunnels threading under a Houston medical campus, 100 submarine doors stand ready to block invading floodwaters. Before commuters in Bangkok can head down into the city's subways, they must first climb three feet of stairs to raised entrances, equipped with flood gates. In Washington, D.C., managers of a retail and apartment complex need just two hours to activate steel walls designed to hold back as much as a 17-foot rise in the Potomac River. If metropolitan New York is going to defend itself from surges like the one that overwhelmed the region during Superstorm Sandy, decision makers can start by studying how others have fought the threat of fast-rising water. And they must accept an unsettling reality: Limiting the damage caused by flooding will likely demand numerous changes, large and small, and yet even substantial protections will be far from absolute.
Intrade boots US customers after federal chargesWASHINGTON (AP) _ Intrade, the online prediction market that gained popularity as an informal oddsmaker for the presidential election, shut itself to U.S. customers Monday after regulators charged it with illegally facilitating bets on future economic data, the price of gold and even acts of war. Hours after the Commodity Futures Trading Commission filed a complaint in federal court, Intrade posted in its user forum and on its news page that it could no longer allow U.S. residents to trade "due to legal and regulatory pressures." Yahoo's stock hits $19 for 1st time since 2010SAN FRANCISCO (AP) _ Yahoo's shares touched $19 Monday, the first time they have traded that high in more than two and half years. The latest gains extend a rally that has been gaining momentum in recent weeks as Yahoo Inc. buys back its own stock and more investors bet on CEO Marissa Mayer's ability to turn around the long-struggling company.
Nintendo says more than 400,000 Wii Us sold in USNEW YORK (AP) _ Nintendo has sold more than 400,000 of its new video game console, the Wii U, in its first week on sale in the U.S., the company said Monday. The Wii U launched on Nov. 18 in the U.S. at a starting price of $300. Nintendo said the sales figure, based on internal estimates, is through Saturday, or seven days later.
McGraw-Hill sells education division to ApolloNEW YORK (AP) _ McGraw-Hill said Monday that it reached a deal to sell its education arm to private equity firm Apollo Global Management LLC for $2.5 billion in cash and debt, as part of its plan to focus on its financial information businesses. As part of the deal, McGraw-Hill will receive $250 million in Apollo debt with an annual interest rate of 8.5 percent. The acquisition includes the New York-based company's digital and traditional textbook business and other assets.

Delivering First Class Communications With WebRTC
This webcast captures a recent discussion about WebRTC between Jim Donovan, Director of Product Management at Oracle and Larry Hettick, Editorial Director and Senior Research Fellow at Webtorials. The topics cover WebRTC reliability, interoperability, and security--looking at how Oracle addresses these issues.

Oracle in Enterprise Communications
Most in the industry have heard of the acquisition of Acme Packet by Oracle. What you may not know is that Oracle has a number of telecommunications products including a UC suite, WebRTC Session Controller, and Operations monitoring tools. Oracle is pursuing both the enterprise and service provider.

ConnectCare & Unified Contact Manager
SPAN's ConnectCare is a WebRTC-based telemedicine app, which allows consumers to easily and instantly avail clinical healthcare from the providers, regardless of their location. This app is extremely useful to healthcare providers, patients and their caregivers alike.
WebRTC Security Concerns
This whitepaper covers two of the most relevant topics in communications industry today: WebRTC and security. We will introduce the problem of security in WebRTC including those traditional VoIP attacks that are going to be present in WebRTC services. Later we will mention ad-hoc WebRTC attacks and protection mechanisms, to close with an overview of identity management solutions.
Migrating Real Time Communications Services to the Web
In the Internet age, businesses that own fixed and mobile communication networks, including traditional Communications Service Providers (CSPs) of all kinds, are being challenged with some tough questions: How do we stay relevant to our customers?
Delivering Enterprise-Class Communications with WebRTC
WebRTC is an emerging industry standard for enabling Web browsers with real-time communications capabilities. It enables enterprises to enhance Web sites, empower BYOD users, and improve video collaboration and on-line meetings, to name but a few examples.
WebRTC Report Extract Reprint
This document examines the growing important of WebRTC, both generally and for telecom service providers. It considers the expanding range of use-cases, the multiple layers of interoperability likely to be desired by telcos, and some implications in terms of network integration and mobility.

Robust Enterprise Grade WebRTC Systems and Services
The emerging WebRTC standard has become one of the industry's hottest topics – and with good reason. Being able to "communications enable the web" has Communications Service Providers as well as Enterprises busily making plans for deployment. But, as these plans unfold, reality is starting to intrude on those plans. Our expectations of telephony services are much higher than web browsing. We expect the phone to connect instantly, operate with minimal disruption, and work seamless across any network, anywhere, at any time. There is also an understanding that phone service is inherently secure. With WebRTC, the expectation is for these applications to behave in the same manner.
This session looks at the user experience and expectations of a WebRTC Enterprise service. It will also cover how a WebRTC enterprise handles security, reliability, and interoperability within browsers and networks.

- Summary
Communication Service Provider (CSP) voice service revenues continue to face pressure due to shifts in communication preferences and competition from non-traditional service providers. Voice communications are now often embedded into applications outside the domain of traditional telephony voice usage. CSPs have been challenged to effectively leverage and monetize new web-oriented communications technologies.

We did not get to see as much as we would have liked to. Many of the other riders on our tour could not keep up or obey basic traffic laws. We probably would have been better off exploring on our own without the guided tour. The company its self did a fine job though.
The guide was helpful and provided good insights about the park.

PHILADELPHIA, PA – At a press conference held at Cabrini College on Wednesday, January 9, Senator Robert Casey (D, Pa.) announced that the Southeastern Pennsylvania Consortium for Higher Education (SEPCHE) will receive a $527,000 federally funded grant in support of the SEPCHE Institute for Mathematics and Science. Congressmen Patrick Murphy (D, Pa., 8th); and Jim Gerlach (R, Pa., 6th) joined Casey at the announcement along with the eight presidents of the SEPCHE schools. Established in 2001 through a grant from the Department of Housing and Urban Development, the Institute's efforts are directed toward advancing math and science literacy and accomplishment in the region's college and K-12 institutions, while ensuring that faculty are teaching and students are learning with state-of-the-art equipment and methodologies.
The SEPCHE Institute for Mathematics and Science prepares the next generation of leaders in two critical fields of world competitiveness. Through this federal funding, SEPCHE colleges are able to offer summer graduate workshops for K-12 teachers in the Delaware Valley to help enhance the quality of math and science curriculum and teaching resources.
"What brings us all together today is that we really believe that inside every child is a bright light burning within them…..it is our basic obligation to make the investment so that bright, scintillating light inside of a child can burn ever brightly," said Casey. "Whatever that child's potential is, whether the brightness of their potential is limited or boundless, we have to make the investment and make them a priority and do everything we can so they can achieve their potential, especially in the important subject of math and science." Sister Patricia Fadden, chair of the SEPCHE President's Council and president of Immaculata University, estimated that program participants of the Math and Science Institute directly influence more than 16,000 K-12 students annually.
Formed in 1993, SEPCHE is a nonprofit consortium of eight independent higher education institutions in the Greater Philadelphia region who engage in a collaborative approach to the challenges of higher education and work together to promote quality and efficiency of academic programming, student access, faculty development, institutional operations and community outreach, through sharing a range of activities, services, technology and information. Member schools of SEPCHE include Arcadia University, Cabrini College, Chestnut Hill College, Gwynedd-Mercy College, Holy Family University, Immaculata University, Neumann College, and Rosemont College.
Collectively, SEPCHE awards more master's degrees in education than any other institution in the State and is the largest provider of teaching credentials in the Delaware Valley. Front row, left to row: Brighid Blake, executive director of SEPCHE; Dr. Kathleen Owens, president, Gwynedd-Mercy College; Antoinette Iadarola, Ph.D., president, Cabrini College; Sister Francesca Onley, CSFN, Ph.D., president, Holy Family University; Rosalie M. Mirenda, D.N.Sc., president, Neumann College; Back row: Congressman Patrick Murphy; Congressman Jim Gerlach; Sister R. Patricia Fadden, IHM, Ed.D., president, Immaculata University; Jerry M. Greiner, Ph.D., president, Arcadia University; Carol Jean Vale, SSJ, Ph.D., president, Chestnut Hill College; Sharon Latchaw Hirsh, Ph.D., president, Rosemont College; and Senator Robert Casey.
The CHC community welcomes you to join them for a night out at the Phillies game on Saturday, August 23rd. See Big Griff down on the field with the Phanatic. Sister Carol will be throwing out the first pitch! Discount tickets are still available, only $17 and $12! All tickets include a special CHC Night at the Phillies T-Shirts. All tickets can be purchased at www.phillies.com/chestnuthillcollege. Please contact email@example.com for any additional information
Chestnut Hill College will host a groundbreaking exhibit called "Face to Face: The Craniofacial Program Portrait Project" with a grand opening Thursday, September 11, from 7 to 9 p.m. in The Rotunda at St. Joseph Hall. The exhibit, funded by the new Stan and Jan Berenstain Healthy Kids Foundation, will showcase portraits made by artists from Studio Incamminati, School for Contemporary Realist Art in cooperation with surgeons and psychologists from the Craniofacial Program at the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia and the Edwin and Fannie Gray Center for Human Appearance at the University of Pennsylvania. The exhibition will run through October 14. The September 11 opening is free to the public, however, registration is required by emailing email@example.com.
The Psychology department will host David B. Sarwer, Ph.D., a psychologist from CHOP/Penn, on Monday, September 15, from 5-7 p.m., in the Redmond Room, St. Joseph Hall. He will present a symposium entitled: Psychological Aspects of Physical Appearance: Cosmetic Enhancement to Treating Disfigurement. The event is free and open to the public and you can email Dr. Kelly Landman, Assistant Professor of Psychology, with any questions at

Loved reading this, pos.
"Given the substandard caliber of Sputnik's output, they easily could have sang openly about their homoerotic love for Sufjan Stevens, their dual-hate of both "hipsters" and "elitists," an odd obsession with mediocre metal music and very questionable post-hardcore, or even unfunny attempts at trolling, and they could have gotten away with it-- nobody would have listened to nor noticed the tiny EP."

Bitten: A Novel (Otherworld Book 1) (Paperback)
Not in stock. Usually ships in 1-5 days from the warehouse.
Elena Michaels is a werewolf. On certain nights, she takes off into the streets of the city naked and furred, savagely striking at the throats of her animal prey. Elena has done all she can to assimilate to the human world, but the man whose bite changed her existence forever continues to haunt her. When the elite pack of werewolves that initiated her into her new life is threatened, Michaels is thrown into a desperate war for survival that tests her allegiance to this secret clan, and forces her to reckon with who, and what, she is. In the spirit of Anne Rice's Interview With a Vampire, Bitten is a powerful stay-up-all-night fiction debut and has been adapted into a TV series, to be aired on the Syfy channel in 2014.
About the Author
Kelley Armstrong lives in rural southwestern Canada with her husband and three children.
Praise for Bitten: A Novel (Otherworld Book 1)…
"[This] might just be the welcome diversion you need." —The Washington Post

C'mon Appy St. .... do it again.
It's hilarious that the Browns think they can control this guy .... he's been this way his whole life ... and they knew that when they drafted him .... I say go Johnny go .. have a little fun in the No Fun League.
your post figuratively hit me like a cord of wood
I hate Time Warner Cable with the same fire reserved mostly for the pits of hell and TTUN. I cut the cord on cable TV solely as a matter of protest over giving that piece of shit company any more money than absolutely necessary (I still have Roadrunner, sadly). Thus, I'll be a radio/twitter fan of the Buckeyes when they're not on network TV until someone out there who's ready to print money decides to offer a la carte sports to all us internet people.
I trust Birm .... that's pretty much it....there's no need for a recruiting service with Birm writing for 11W.
Birm ... I'll take my payment in helmet stickers ..thanks.
the premium lounge is experiencing budget cuts .... security got hit particularly hard .. it's a damn shame really
New poster ...that's huge!
9Route, eh? That's it ....
If they live in the middle of desserts we should probably treat them for diabetes and save the water problem for later .... sorry, couldn't resist.
When Bert decides to retire from football, he's got a multi-million dollar book/speaking gig waiting for him:
Do you want to eat like a slob and still bang hot women?
Do you want to suck at your job but keep getting raises and new opportunities?
Do you want to act like a jackass but still have your employer love you?
Do you want to get through life on blind luck and
Barry Alvarez's someone else's good will?
Then reserve your spot today for Bert Bielema's "Life Can Kiss My Fat Ass" world speaking tour.
Second: I cut cable earlier this year because I rarely watched it ... now I primarily use Netflix, Amazon Prime and Hulu Plus ... more tv than I could watch for a fraction of the price. However, I haven't figured out my Buckeye strategy yet ... input appreciated.
Cautiously optimistic. Urbs knows how to recruit - so the kid has talent. Obviously, he's young ... but so were Famous Jameis and Johnny Football. Maybe we'll go to some double TE sets this year to give him easy 5 yard passes to big targets .... or maybe he'll just make a living getting the ball to Dontre in the slot. In any event, I don't know that he'll have to win games by himself. I think VA Tech will be a challenge just because I expect their D line to be pretty good and our O line will be inexperienced. Our new look D might have to dig deep that night and use the crowd for that little bit of "extra." Even with JT at the helm, I still think our entire season hinges on the trip to East Lansing.

How Prehabilitation Can Improve Outcomes and Reduce Hospital Costs
Better preparing cancer patients for surgery and the rigors of treatment regimens can improve patient outcomes and generate cost savings through shorter hospital stays and fewer readmissions, researchers say.
A study published in the August issue of the American Journal of Physical Medicine & Rehabilitation points to the results of several recent pilot programs involving cancer patients that show prehabilitation programs helped patients recover more quickly from surgeries and pursue follow-up care. The study suggests that taking advantage of a small "window of opportunity" before surgery can "improve patient outcomes and reduce direct and indirect healthcare costs."
"There's a long history of using prehabilitation in other settings such orthopedic surgeries and heart bypass surgeries," said Julie K. Silver, MD, an associate professor at Harvard Medical School and co-author of the study titled Cancer Prehabilitation: An Opportunity to Decrease Treatment-Related Morbidity, Increase Cancer Treatment Options, and Improve Physical and Psychological Health Outcomes. "And our review shows there's a great opportunity to use prehabilitation to improve health outcomes for cancer patients as well."
Silver says the concept of prehabilitation has been around for decades, dating back to a 1946 pilot program in which 85% of 12,000 formerly substandard military recruits were able to pass recruitment exams after a two-month improvement program. More recently, a study of patients undergoing knee replacement surgery showed patients who exercised before their surgery recovered more quickly and had fewer complications than those who didn't exercise.
Comments are moderated. Please be patient.
Lea Ann Webb (8/19/2013 at 11:11 PM)
From a patient perspective I will say that even introducing the respiratory therapy prior to surgery required of all patients after general anesthesia prior to would be great. In pain and medicated is not an opportune time to learn anything new. Practicing the therapy in advance and deciding how to keep up with the required # of times performed per day would be a great help. When my son had acl reconstruction he was an athlete and therefore needed to shorten his recovery time as much as possible so he was prescribed prehab. He cycled and performed other exercises at the rehab facility and his surgery was not scheduled until his thigh circumference was equal to his non injured leg. My husband has done well since his robot assisted prostatectomy, but he never took the after surgery exercises very seriously. A female patient would have better understood the exercises, because most women know about kagel exercises. Again, after surgery was not the opportune time to learn A new exercise. His surgeon did require him to prehab by walking every day and losing 2 inches of waist circumference. We had carefully chosen the surgeon and it is the only time my husband has ever followed the exercise and diet recommendations of any MD. So yes, any small improvements in this area would be helpful!

Some of you might got to know i bought a Harley Davidson last year and i have joined the H.O.G (Harley Owners Group) Kuwait Chapter.
I really love the group and the community of the HOG. Every Friday we gather and ride to wherever the wind blows.
We had an interesting long ride from Kuwait North border to Kuwait South border.
It was estimated 420 km but actually it was 527 km almost the distance to Bahrain.
At one of our stops we did BBQ and distributed a badge and certificate for the participants, it was my first HOG badge

Health Briefs TV Show Announces New Senior Health Special, Jan 2013
The Health Briefs TV show has announced a special which is geared toward America's senior population, caretakers and medical professionals. As the population ages and continues to live longer and healthier lives, the choices they have are growing by leap and bounds. The show explores how to shop for and cook nutritious meals on a budget, senior exercise programs, how to handle medical claims, and getting the most from health insurance coverage, and other hot topics. The compelling senior health special will air in January, 2013.
Today's senior population is large and growing every day. According to the Federal Interagency Forum on Aging-Related Statistics, in 2010, there were 40 million people age 65 and over living in the United States. The older population in 2030 is projected to be twice as large as their equals in 2000, growing from 35 million to 72 million. This naturally puts a strain on families, medical professionals, policy Makers and other providers. Cities and towns will continually search to find ways to keep the Baby Boomer generation active and healthy. Today, there are many low-cost senior exercise classes, health fairs and activities available through government programs and senior centers, some of which are held in Community centers. The Health Briefs television program explores the challenges and triumphs in working with and providing for America's golden generation as it examines the obstacle in aging such as loss of hearing, arthritis, memory loss, and many more.
Hosted by NFL star Terry Bradshaw, the show brings riveting health and medical information to the viewer. He is the former Pittsburgh Steelers Hall of Fame quarterback who led the team to four Super Bowl victories. Bradshaw is also an author and co-host of a nationally television football pregame show. Health Briefs TV films on location in the United States and is broadcast on many regional and national cable television networks. More information is available at health-briefs.com, or on the show's Facebook and Twitter pages.
