Various sources, including Dale Lolley, are now reporting that Steelers running back Rashard Mendenhall does, in fact, have a torn ACL.
It is a torn acl for Mendenhall. He could be ready to play by the start of the 201230 season
I'd make a joke about how 200,000 years seems like a long recovery time for an ACL tear, but the truth is that this stinks for Mendenhall and for the Steelers. Pittsburgh was using Isaac Redman after Mendenhall left Sunday's game against the Browns, but he fumbled twice, and by the end of the game, the Steelers were only up four points and they were giving carries to undrafted free agent rookie John Clay. (And then it ultimately turned out that it didn't matter anyway, because the Ravens won their game; Mendenhall was therefore lost in a meaningless contest.) Even with the fumbles, Redman isn't a bad backup option, but I'd feel a lot better about the Steelers' playoff chances with Mendenhall in there.
The PIttsburgh Steelers picked up one final win in the last game of the 2011 NFL season on Sunday with a victory over the Cleveland Browns. As they get ready to face the Denver Broncos in the first round of the playoffs, however, they are beginning to learn that their game against the Browns may have cost them something else.
Featured running back Rashard Mendenhall came out of the game early with a right knee injury and was helped to the locker room. It was later reported that Mendenhall was scheduled to undergo an MRI to assess the extent of the damage.
On Sunday night, Adam Schefter of ESPN reported that Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin stated he did not expect Mendenhall to return in time for the wild card game against the Broncos.
Scott Brown of the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review later reported that Tomlin had suggested Mendenhall might have a torn ACL. He will be replaced in any missed games by Isaac Redman.

The Pittsburgh Steelers picked up a win over the Cleveland Browns in the final game of the regular season on Sunday. Running back Rashard Mendenhall came out of the game in the first quarter after suffering a knee injury. Mendenhall was helped to the locker room by staff and was replaced in the game by Isaac Redman.
After the game, Adam Schefter of ESPN reported that Mendenhall is scheduled to undergo an MRI on his right knee in order to assess the extent of the injury.
The Steelers have already made it into the postseason, although they missed out on a first-round bye due to a Baltimore Ravens win today. If Mendenhall is unable to play in any postseason games, it is expected that Redman will fill in as the featured back for Pittsburgh. Jonathan Dwyer would normally be next on the depth chart, but is currently on injured reserve.

The Steelers defeated the Browns 13-9 in a windy game in Cleveland late Sunday afternoon. The game wasn't decided until the last play, as a late rally by Seneca Wallace and the Browns came up short; the Browns managed to stay in the game thanks to two late fumbles by Steelers running back Isaac Redman, who was playing in place of the injured Rashard Mendenhall.
As it turns out, the outcome of the game didn't matter. The Baltimore Ravens (12-4) knocked off the Cincinnati Bengals to clinch the second playoff seed, which meant that the Steelers were stuck with the top Wild Card seed, which they would have taken even if they lost.
The Oakland Raiders are about to lose to the San Diego Chargers, which means that the Steelers will face the Denver Broncos, who are set to get the AFC West championship and the fourth seed despite a three-game losing streak and an 8-8 record. That's a pretty good matchup for the Steelers, but obviously, it would have been even better to take a week off, given their long list of injuries.
Here are the final AFC playoff seeds.
1. New England Patriots
2. Baltimore Ravens
6. Cincinnati Bengals vs. 3. Houston Texans
5. Pittsburgh Steelers vs. 4. Denver Broncos

The Steelers' game against the Browns isn't yet over – they lead 13-9 with two minutes left to play – but the Bengals couldn't pull out a victory against the Baltimore Ravens, losing 24-16, so the Steelers will take the fifth seed in the playoffs and face off against the AFC West champs. It doesn't matter whether they beat the Browns (as appears likely) or not.
Despite the loss, the Bengals have clinched the sixth seed in the AFC because the Jets and Broncos both lost. That means the only playoff seed yet to be determined is the AFC West champ, which will hinge on the outcome of the game between the Raiders and Chargers. We'll have more on that shortly.
The seeds are as follows.
1. New England Patriots
2. Baltimore Ravens
3. Houston Texans vs. 6. Cincinnati Bengals
4. AFC West champs vs. 5. Pittsburgh Steelers

Hines Ward got his 1,000th career catch on Sunday night in the fourth quarter of the Steelers' game against the Cleveland Browns. It wasn't a particularly glorious moment, since it came on the road and it was a shovel pass that netted -3 yards, but hey, it got the job done.
Ward, 35, has been with the Steelers since 1998. This will probably be his last year with the Steelers, who have an excellent group of young receivers in Mike Wallace, Antonio Brown and Emmanuel Sanders. Ward had fallen behind them on the depth chart by midseason. He got more playing time in the last couple games as the Steelers tried to let him reach the milestone.
Ward's 1,000 career receptions places him eighth all-time, behind Jerry Rice, Tony Gonzalez, Marvin Harrison, Cris Carter, Tim Brown, Terrell Owens, and Isaac Bruce.

The Cleveland Browns are hosting the Pittsburgh Steelers in the final game of the regular season. The Browns managed to take a 6-3 lead into halftime, but entering the final quarter of the game, they have seen that lead slip away in the second half.
The Steelers tied the game on a 29-yard field goal by Shaun Suisham in the third quarter. A few minutes later, the Steelers were right back in the red zone. This time, they finally managed to cross the goal line as Ben Roethlisberger handed the ball off to Isaac Redman, who broke through with a seven-yard touchdown run. For the first time in the game, the Steelers took the lead, 13-6. It was the first touchdown of the game by either team.
The Browns got to the red zone in the final minutes of the third quarter, only to get pushed back and bring on the field goal team. Phil Dawson kicked a 49-yard field goal, his third of the game and the second from 40-plus yards. All nine Browns points have come from Dawson. At halftime, the score stands at 13-9 in favor of the Steelers.
All eyes remain on the scoreboard as the Steelers need to win and have the Ravens lose to the Bengals in order for the Steelers to obtain a first-round bye in the postseason. The score in that game is currently 17-10 in favor of the Ravens.

The Pittsburgh Steelers are visiting the Cleveland Browns in the final game of the regular season. Through the first half of play, the game has been a low-scoring affair.
The Browns managed to make it deep into the end zone with just under 7:00 left in the half, thanks to a long run by quarterback Seneca Wallace. The powerful Steelers defense pushed the Browns back from the goal line, however, forcing Cleveland to settle for a short field goal to get on the board first. Phil Dawson nailed the 26-yard FG.
Dawson would later add another field goal, this one from 45 yards with 1:11 remaining in the half, to put Cleveland up 6-0.
Ben Roethlisberger led the Steelers on a last-minute drive, getting Pittsburgh inside the red zone with 0:30 left. The Steelers ended up at 1st and goal from the 2-yard line with 0:11 left in the half. Roethlisberger threw two incomplete passes, however, forcing the Steelers to bring in their field goal team. The short field goal attempt was good, sending the game to halftime with Pittsburgh trailing, 6-3.
The Steelers, much like Steelers fans, are certainly engaged in a bit of scoreboard-watching during this game. They know they'll receive a first-round bye in the playoffs if they win and the Baltimore Ravens lose their game against the Bengals. Entering halftime in Cincinnati, the Ravens are ahead by a score of 17-3.

The game between the Pittsburgh Steelers and Cleveland Browns is still scoreless about halfway through the second quarter, as the Steelers' latest drive was stopped by a key sack by former Pitt Panther Jabaal Sheard. Shaun Suisham then came on to kick a long field goal, but the wind in Ohio is brutal right now, and he missed.
Rashard Mendenhall left the game with a knee injury, and it's not yet clear whether he'll return.
The Steelers have out-gained the Browns so far, 82 total yards to 50.
Meanwhile, the Bengals hit a field goal to cut the Baltimore Ravens' lead to 10-3. If the Bengals and Steelers can pull out wins, the Steelers will get the second AFC playoff seed and a first-round bye. If not, the Ravens will get that seed, and the Steelers will get the No. 5 seed.
For more on the Steelers, check out Behind The Steel Curtain.
The Steelers and Browns have traded punts throughout the first quarter in a game that might not turn out to matter if the Steelers can't get the Cincinnati Bengals to cooperate.
As we near the end of the first quarter of both games, the Baltimore Ravens lead the Bengals 10-0. If the Ravens win, the Steelers would get the No. 5 seed in the AFC in the NFL playoffs, regardless of the outcome of their game against the Browns.
The Steelers have out-gained the Browns so far, 57 total yards to 16, but so far that hasn't mattered much. The Steelers appeared to be targeting veteran receiver Hines Ward early on, probably in part in order to get him to 1,000 catches for his career. Unfortunately, he began the game with a drop and only has one catch so far. This season is likely to be Ward's last in Pittsburgh.

The Steelers currently hold a record of 11-4 and are 4-3 on the road.

By defeating the Buffalo Bills Sunday afternoon, the New England Patriots wrapped up the regular season with a 13-3 record and clinched home-field advantage throughout the playoffs in the AFC. This means that the outcomes of the Steelers vs. Browns and Ravens vs. Bengals matchups will determine whether the Ravens or Steelers get the No. 2 seed and a first-round bye. The other team will take the No. 5 seed.
The Jets were eliminated from playoff contention Sunday with a 19-17 loss to the Miami Dolphins that dropped them to 8-8. That helps the Bengals, who are fighting for the No. 6 seed (which they would clinch by beating the Ravens). The current playoff seeding looks like this.
1. Patriots
2. Ravens
3. Texans vs. 6. Bengals
4. Broncos vs. 5. Steelers
The Titans, who finished their regular-season at 9-7 with a win over the Texans Sunday, and Oakland Raiders are also in the playoff hunt.
SB Nation has a blog for every team.
Here's a look at scores from around the NFL in Week 17 as 1:00 games reach the half.
From the perspective of Steelers fans, the only significant game is the Bills and Patriots, and the Bills have a halftime lead there, 21-14. That's good for the Steelers, because Point One of the Steelers' three-point plan to get the first overall playoff seed is to have the Patriots lose. Then the Steelers will need to need to beat the Browns and have the Bengals beat the Ravens in the late-afternoon games.
Elsewhere, the 49ers are up 20-7 on the Rams, the Jets are beating the Dolphins 10-6, the Bears are up 14-13 on the Vikings, the Saints are up 24-17 on the Panthers, the Eagles are up 10-0 on the Redskins, the Jaguars have a 10-6 lead on the Colts, the Titans are beating the Texans 13-10, and the Packers are up 24-19 on the Lions.
SB Nation has a blog for every team.
Here's a look at the NFL schedule and TV info for Week 17. Three games will be critical for the Steelers, who don't yet know whether they'll get a first-round bye. The first of those - chronologically, anyway - is Bills vs. Patriots, which is at 1:00 Sunday on CBS. Other 1:00 games are Titans vs. Texans, Jets vs. Dolphins, and Colts vs. Jaguars (all CBS), and Lions vs. Packers, Panthers vs. Saints, 49ers vs. Rams, Bears vs. Vikings, and Redskins vs Eagles (all on FOX).
The other two games that will both be crucial for the Steelers are at 4:15, when the Steelers take on the Browns, and the Ravens take on the Bengals (both on CBS). CBS also has the Chiefs and Broncos and the Chargers and Raiders. FOX, meanwhile, has Seahawks vs. Cardinals and Bucs vs. Falcons.
The Sunday-night game (8:20, NBC) pits the Cowboys and Giants.

The Pittsburgh Steelers will face off against the Cleveland Browns on Sunday hoping to secure a win and a first-round bye for the AFC playoffs, which begin next week. A Cincinnati Bengals win against the Baltimore Ravens would lock up another AFC North championship for Pittsburgh and likely a top seed. See below for details on when and where to see the game.
The New Year's Day game will be the regular season finale for both teams. The Browns, 4-11, have been eliminated from playoff contention.
Game Date and Time: Sunday, Jan. 1, 2012, 4:15 p.m.
Location: Cleveland Browns Stadium, Cleveland, Ohio.
Radio: 102.5 WDVE and Steelers Radio Network affiliates.

The Cleveland Browns will be without at least a trio of players when they face the Steelers on Sunday according to Dave Bryan of Steelers Depot.
The Browns have ruled out quarterback Colt McCoy (concussion) wide receiver Jordan Norwood (concussion) and tackle Tony Pashos (illness), according to Bryan.
Linebacker Kaluka Maiava (hand) and defensive lineman Scott Paxon (hand and calf) are questionable, while wide receivers Mohamed Massaquoi (foot) and Josh Cribbs (groin), fullback Owen Marecic (ankle), guard Shawn Lauvao (ankle) and cornerback Dimitri Patterson (hand), running back Peyton Hillis (elbow), and linebacker Quinton Spears (head) are probably after spending parts of the week either limited in practice, or off the field completely.

Jamison Hensley lists his AFC North picks for Week 17, and his forecast isn't necessarily one Steelers fans will be happy to see. He picks the Steelers to defeat the Cleveland Browns 20-10, which seems pretty straightforward:
Pittsburgh will control the game with its running attack against the NFL's 30th-ranked run defense. Expect another 100-yard rushing day for Rashard Mendenhall.
Hensley also picks the Baltimore Ravens over the Cincinnati Bengals, which would mean the Steelers would be stuck with a Wild Card berth. (Victories by the Steelers and Bengals would give the Steelers a first-round playoff bye, and would also put three AFC North teams, the Steelers, Ravens and Bengals, in the playoffs.)
The biggest weakness of the Cincinnati defense all season has been stopping teams inside the 20-yard line. The Bengals rank 26th in red zone defense, while the Ravens are second. Baltimore running back Ray Rice will be a factor around the goal line.
A Baltimore victory would be unfortunate. But it's far from inevitable – the Bengals are a good young team and will be highly motivated, since they would clinch the last Wild Card berth with a victory.
Here are SB Nation Pittsburgh's picks for the Steelers, Ravens and Patriots games. These three games will determine the Steelers' playoff seed.
Mark Kaboly of the Trib tweets that Ben Roethlisberger appears likely to play this weekend as the Steelers take on the Cleveland Browns.
A little gamesmanship going on when I asked Ben if he was ready to go. "Go ask Mike." This just in, he's starting.
The idea here, I think, is that this isn't something Roethlisberger would say if he weren't going to play. Anyway, this is no real shock. Roethlisberger also practiced Wednesday and Thursday. He's tough as nails about these things, and with a first-round bye potentially on the line, the Steelers have a lot to play for.
Kaboly also notes that Maurkice Pouncey will be making the start for the Steelers, which is good news, but is also no surprise. Pouncey was a full participant in practice Thursday. Troy Polamalu also returned to practice and will probably start as well.

Here's a look at the odds and lines (via OddsShark) for the Steelers vs. Browns matchup, as well as other Week 17 games that will determine the Steelers' playoff seeding.
The Steelers are listed as about seven-point favorites against the Browns. I'd probably take the over, given that the Browns have little left to play for and they'll be starting Seneca Wallace at quarterback. Ben Roethlisberger's role in this one could turn out to be crucial. He was a full participant in practice Thursday.
The Ravens, meanwhile, are listed as anything from even money to three-point favorites against the Bengals. I can't disagree that Baltimore should be the favorite, but this will be a key game for Steelers fans - the Bengals are a talented team with a lot on the line. If the Steelers win and the Ravens lose, the Steelers would get a first-round bye.
The Patriots are between 10- and 13-point favorites against the Bills. If the Patriots and Ravens both lose and the Steelers win, the Steelers would receive a bye and home-field advantage throughout the playoffs.

As the Cleveland Browns prepare for their regular season finale against the Pittsburgh Steelers on Sunday, they're still hoping to get a few players healthy.
Wide receivers Mohamed Massaquoi (foot) and Josh Cribbs (groin) returned to full participation in practice on Thursday, joining fullback Owen Marecic (ankle), guard Shawn Lauvao (ankle) and cornerback Dimitri Patterson (hand), who returned to full participation on Wednesday according to Dave Bryan of Steelers Depot.
Bryan also said that defensive lineman Scott Paxon (hand, calf), running back Peyton Hillis (elbow), linebacker Kaluka Maiava (hand) and linebacker Quinton Spears (head) were limited in practice while quarterback Colt McCoy (concussion), wide receiver Jordan Norwood (concussion) and tackle Tony Pashos illness were all held out of practice.

After missing last week's game against the Rams, the Steelers' Ben Roethlisberger looks to be on track to play against the Browns on Sunday as Scott Brown of the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review tweets that the quarterback fully participated in in practice on Thursday.
Roethlisberger talked about his injured ankle after practice, tweets the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review's Mark Kaboly.
"It's a little sore today because I worked out on it yesterday. We will see how tomorrow goes and keep plugging away."
Brown also said center Maurkice Pouncey, wide receiver Emmanuel Sanders and linebacker Chris Carter were full participants as well, so it's likely they'll play against Cleveland, while noting linebacker LaMarr Woodley was limited for a second straight day.
In a separate tweet, Brown said safety Troy Polamalu (knee), running back Mewelde Moore (knee) and guard Doug Legursky (shoulder) we all held out of practice by the team.
For all the latest news leading up to Steelers vs. Browns, stay tuned to SB Nation Pittsburgh.
One of the key storylines surrounding the Steelers vs. Browns matchup this weekend (secondary to the Steelers' hunt for a first-round playoff bye, certainly, but a key storyline nonetheless) is the aftereffects of James Harrison's helmet-to-helmet hit on Browns quarterback Colt McCoy in Week 14. Harrison has since returned from a one-game suspension for the hit, but McCoy is still out. Harrison hits also led to concussions for the Browns' Mohamed Massaquoi and Josh Cribbs last year. The Browns, however, say they aren't concerned about all that.
"We haven't even thought twice about [the Harrison hit] after that week," said Browns linebacker D'Qwell Jackson. "He's back playing. We're going to show up, just as usual. That Harrison situation is not a focus of ours, by any stretch."
"We're not going into this game thinking about getting even with him," said Josh Cribbs. "We're going in thinking to win it."
What follows in the article is a pretty hilarious Q+A in which Mike Tomlin answers questions about Harrison like "At which point in his career do you think he made the conscious decision to be a headhunter?" It certainly seems like members of the Cleveland media want this to be a huge story. I don't agree with them, but I don't blame them, either. It appears, however, that neither the Steelers nor the Browns are indulging them.

The 2011 NFL playoff picture for the Pittsburgh Steelers and the rest of the AFC North is still a bit murky, but the waters will clear up this Sunday depending on the outcomes of some key matchups.
Pittsburgh Steelers 23, Cleveland Browns 3 - The Steelers will end their regular season against the team that took out Ben Roethlisberger a few weeks ago. Against the Browns, Big Ben injured his ankle which caused him to play essentially on one leg against the San Francisco 49ers and miss last weeks win over the St. Louis Rams. The Steelers defense was able to handle the Browns relatively easily last time, especially once a concussed Colt McCoy re-entered the game. The Browns will be without McCoy on Sunday, however, so their stagnant offense will likely once again be stifled by the Steelers defense.
Cincinnati Bengals 20, Baltimore Ravens 17 - The Ravens were able to knock off the Bengals back in November in the their first match up, but the Bengals are now fighting for a playoff position. In the first match up, the Ravens offense was able to put up nearly 400 yards of offense while Andy Dalton turned the ball over three times. A repeat of both of those instances is unlikely and the Bengals are going to want to game more, winning on a late field goal.
New England Patriots 30, Buffalo Bills 23 - The match up between the Patriots and the Bills has no bearing on the AFC North, but if the Steelers are able to win the division it could have an effect on the seeding in the playoffs. After the Bills were able to knock off Tim Tebow and the Denver Broncos, they'll have a much tougher go of it against Tom Brady and the Patriots. Brady isn't likely to throw four interceptions, including some returned for touchdowns. The Patriots can close out the season avenging one of their three losses and seal the number one seed in the AFC.

Jamison Hensley notices that, with quarterback Colt McCoy likely out in the Browns' Week 17 matchup against the Steelers, McCoy might have made his last start with Cleveland.
Everyone in the Cleveland front office -- from team president Mike Holmgren to general manager Tom Heckert to coach Pat Shurmur -- has remained noncommittal on McCoy's future. They refuse to evaluate his season, saying that will happen after the season.
If you're McCoy, it's not a good sign when Holmgren gives Shurmur a strong vote of confidence during the season but doesn't do the same for the quarterback.
The Browns could look around for a quarterback this offseason, Hensley notes.
McCoy's absence was triggered, obviously, by a helmet-to-helmet hit by the Steelers' James Harrison in Week 14. McCoy had a concussion on the play, and he hasn't yet been able to return to the field. Harrison was suspended for a game for the hit.
McCoy is still only 25 and in his second season, but the Browns are restless after what has a 4-11 season so far, and they might have a chance to grab a good young quarterback in the draft.
The Pittsburgh Steelers got back onto the practice field today in preparation to take on the Cleveland Browns in their final game of the 2011 regular season. Quarterback Ben Roethlisberger practiced in full today, after missing last week with an ankle injury. It is expected that Roethlisberger will start on Sunday, as the Steelers still have a chance to clinch the AFC North and the No. 2 seed in the AFC playoffs with a win and a Baltimore Ravens loss.
Offensive lineman Maurkice Pouncey also returned to practice and practiced in full, telling reporters after practice that he will play on Sunday against the Browns. Wide receiver Emmanuel Sanders also returned to practice in full. There were four Steelers who did not practice, however.

Here's a look at the NFL playoff picture as we head into the last week of the NFL regular season. To clinch a first-round bye, the Steelers basically need a win against the Browns, and they'll also have their eyes on the Ravens and Bengals. Via the NFL, here's what other AFC teams will need in Week 17 (leaving out some arcane stuff about ties, which happen so rarely in the NFL that there's really not much need to worry about them until they happen).
PATRIOTS clinch top AFC seed with a win or a loss by both the Ravens and Steelers.
RAVENS clinch the AFC North and a first-round bye with a win or a Steelers loss. They would get the top overall seed if they win and the Patriots lose.
STEELERS have clinched at least the No. 5 seed. They can win the AFC North and the No. 2 seed if they win and the Ravens lose. They can clinch the top seed if they win and both the Patriots and Ravens lose.
TEXANS have clinched the AFC South and the No. 3 seed.
BRONCOS clinch the AFC West and the No. 4 seed if they win or the Raiders lose.
RAIDERS clinch the AFC West and the No. 4 seed if they win and the Broncos lose. They could also win a Wild Card spot if they win and the Bengals and Titans both lose, or if they win, the Bengals lose and the Jets win.
BENGALS clinch the last Wild Card spot and the No. 6 seed with a win, or with losses by the Jets and Raiders, or with losses by the Jets and Broncos.
JETS clinch the last Wild Card spot and the No. 6 seed with either a win and losses by the Bengals, Titans and Raiders, or with a win and losses by the Bengals, Titans and Broncos.
TITANS clinch the last Wild Card spot and the No. 6 seed under one of three scenarios. First, the Titans and Jets win while the Bengals and Raiders lose. Second, the Titans and Jets win and the Bengals and Broncos lose. Third, the Titans and Raiders win and the Begnals and Jets lose.
We're not really an NFC site, but here's what the NFL sent out regarding the NFC.
Green Bay - NFC North and home-field advantage
San Francisco - NFC West
New Orleans - NFC South
Detroit - playoff spot
Atlanta - playoff spot
SAN FRANCISCO 49ERS San Francisco clinches a first-round bye with: 1) SF win OR 2) SF tie + NO loss or tie OR 3) NO loss
NEW ORLEANS SAINTS New Orleans clinches a first-round bye with: 1) NO win + SF loss or tie OR 2) NO tie + SF loss
NEW YORK GIANTS New York clinches NFC East division with: 1) NYG win or tie
DALLAS COWBOYS Dallas clinches NFC East division with: 1) DAL win

New team at Montagu Arms promise ultimate dining experience
2:50pm Tuesday 19th February 2013 in News
A TOP trio have taken the helm at a Michelin starred Hampshire restaurant.
The Terrace Restaurant, at the Montagu Arms Hotel in Beaulieu, is already a favourite with diners but it is hoped the addition of two new experienced restaurateurs will create the ultimate dining experience.
Pierre Rizet Mosser, who has previously worked with top French chef Marc Meneau, has been appointed restaurant manager and David Kubler joins the team as head sommelier, having worked at other Michelin starred establishments.
Head chef Matthew Tomkinson – pictured with Pierre and David – said: "The wealth of knowledge both Pierre and David are able bring to the Terrace is second to none. Having both worked extensively in top Michelin starred restaurants, I am looking forward to working with them and developing ideas on how we can further enhance the dining experience we provide."

there are many reasons make the diet program fail including:
1 – Hard diet
A lot of think people that when they doing a hard diet will make a rapid reduction of weight.
When dealing with fewer calories a period of time the body's ability to metabolize will change to burn fewer calories.
When you stop the diet and return to eating more calories the body still burns fewer calories gaining weight again.
2 – Not doing the exercise
Balance between calories consumed and calories Intake helps to achieve the target weight.
The key to success for weight loss is physical activity.
Physical activity plays a major role in burning excess calories and prevent stored as fat also promotes physical activity metabolism by lowering insulin levels.
3 – Not eating breakfast
Breakfast has an active role in reducing the weight.
Research and studies show that people who eat breakfast are better able to maintain a healthy weight.
Eating breakfast rich in protein, fiber and contains the proper amount of calories improve metabolism by activating the secretion of enzymes necessary for the metabolism of fat and prevent storage.
Also eat breakfast prevents the feeling of hunger and the need to eating a larger amount of food at the end of the day.
4 – Not drinking so much water
Dehydration is one of the reasons for the failure of a weight reduction program.
Water is an essential nutrient for the body and plays an active role in burning fat because water is part of the chemical reactions to burn fat… also transferred waste water resulting from breaking down fat out of the body, in the case of drought these wastes accumulate in the body, causing liver problems affecting liver function and fat burning.
Water helps the body's muscles and organs to work and better efficiency which reflects the increased metabolic rate subsequently burning more calories… research indicates that adults who drink eight or more cups of water a day to burn more calories than those who drink the least amount of water.
5 – Planning unrealistic goals
Planning the basics of success… The situation of a large number of weight losses greater than your ability to achieve is one of the reasons for the failure of diet program.
In order to achieve long-term success, you gradually reduce weight through a timetable.
6 – Measurement of body weight per day
Measurement of body weight per day is a recipe for frustration, because it leads to injury eating disorder, also lead to frustration due to fluctuations in weight.
Many experts recommend measurement of body weight per week.
7 – Avoid dairy products
A lot of diet programs does not contain dairy products because it is thought to increase the weight.
Recent research has suggests that the body burn further fat when it gets enough calcium and milk products are rich, and nutrition experts recommend include a weight loss diet and low-fat milk and milk products.

As has been the case most of the season in New Jersey, the Devils got some good news and some bad news on Sunday.
New Jersey activated goaltender Cory Schneider from injured reserve, and placed defenseman Peter Harrold on it. According to Tom Gulitti of Fire & Ice, Schneider will get the start on Sunday in Minnesota. He missed the last three games with a lower-body injury.
Harrold's injury sounds more serious. The young defenseman hasn't played since Oct. 22, when he suffered a lower-body injury in Columbus. According to Gulitti, Harrold has still been practicing with the team despite the injury.
When healthy, Schneider has been one of the best goaltenders in the league this season with a 2.14 goals against average and a 9.15 save percentage. Harrold has no points and is minus-6 through nine games this season.
New Jersey has called up rookie defenseman Jon Merrill from the Albany Devils of the AHL, though it's unclear at this point if he'll get the start tonight.

We Have a Winner!
March 22, 2013 | by Sadie Stein
A few weeks ago, we asked you to send us your best portrait-of-the-artist-as-a-young-person photos for a chance to win a Frank Clegg briefcase. Read on for a slideshow of exceedingly sensitive finalists … and one gloriously pretentious winner!
Third Place
This would be mid- to late eighties. I had just finished writing my first novel, calling it Bad Girls of Ireland. I would like to note, for the record, that while the book remains unpublished, I stand firm in my belief that it was the first to wear that "bad girls" label which became a thing in the early nineties (before we had memes, kiddies).
At the time I thought it was an appropriately high/low moniker to slap on two hundred pages that were (let's be honest) too esoteric to be legible to anyone else on earth; in retrospect it sounds kind of cheesy. I think you had to be there. Influences? Joyce, naturellement. Nabokov, Calvino, Rilke, Duras, Cortázar, all of those Zone books about the body. Jung! Was I a mo girl swimming in a pomo stream, or the reverse? From the outside my life looked way more like a Tama Janowitz story than the Kathy Acker one that was going on in my head, right down to the jewelry-selling on the street. Earrings—singletons only, made out of broken glass I collected at bus stops. Some insufficiently considered "performance art." You get the picture. Read More »
Last Chance, Poseurs! Win a Briefcase
March 8, 2013 | by Sadie Stein
Here is the youngest resident of the Hotel Duncan taking a "sensitivity break" from his senior thesis, on the fin-de-siècle poet Trumbull Stickney, 1995: "But that I know these places are my own / I'd ask how came such wretchedness to cumber / The earth, and I to people it alone. // It rains across the country I remember." —Lorin Stein
Remember! Whether you had a Romantic phase, a Beat fixation, an Aesthetic idyll, send us your picture of yourself at your most self-seriously bookish and you could win a Frank Clegg English Briefcase. Send your picture, along with a brief description of your influences of the time, to email@example.com. All entries must be in by Monday, March 11. (Luckily for you, staff is ineligible; this is hard to top!)
Show Us Your Soulful Side to Win a Briefcase
February 4, 2013 | by Sadie Stein
I had a briefcase at one point, but it was a kind of 1980s new wave briefcase. It was made of some kind of cardboard and it had metal hinges. It was kind of faux industrial looking, and I used to carry my books in it rather than a backpack. I didn't want to have normal student accoutrements.
We know the feeling. If you too had a visibly bookish phase, we want to see it: send in a picture of yourself at your most literary, and, in honor of youthful self-seriousness everywhere, you could win a Frank Clegg English Briefcase. Send your picture, along with a brief description of your influences of the time, to email@example.com.
Brave New Turkeys: We Have a Winner!
December 10, 2012 | by The Paris Review
For our most recent contest, we asked you, dear readers, to create a festive, possibly dystopian, turkey from Aldous Huxley's handprint. You delivered. Below, without further ado, our favorites.
Win Lovely Gloves with a Brave New Turkey
November 19, 2012 | by Sadie Stein
The enormous room on the ground floor faced towards the north. Cold for all the summer beyond the panes, for all the tropical heat of the room itself, a harsh thin light glared through the windows, hungrily seeking some draped lay figure, some pallid shape of academic goose-flesh, but finding only the glass and nickel and bleakly shining porcelain of a laboratory. Wintriness responded to wintriness. The overalls of the workers were white, their hands gloved with a pale corpse-coloured rubber. The light was frozen, dead, a ghost. Only from the yellow barrels of the microscopes did it borrow a certain rich and living substance, lying along the polished tubes like butter, streak after luscious streak in long recession down the work tables. —Brave New World
As should be perfectly obvious from the above quote, we are giving away a pair of cozy, woolen Etre gloves (made by one of the last British glove manufacturers) to the person who can make the best, most apt Thanksgiving turkey from Aldous Huxley's handprint. Will your turkey be chrome yellow? Savage? Dystopian? Psychedelic? Whatever your motif, send your turkey, be it photoshopped, collaged and scanned, handpainted, to firstname.lastname@example.com by December 1st.

Kenneth Matheson (1922-1931)
Matheson was born in Cheraw, S.C., in 1864, graduating from the South Carolina Military Academy (The Citadel) in 1886. He served as commandant of cadets at George Military College, the University of Tennessee, and Missouri Military Academy, and obtained a master's in English from Stanford University in 1897.
That year, the Georgia School of Technology hired Matheson as a junior English professor; he advanced quickly, and in 1905 was elected acting president after the incumbent's death. The "acting" was removed in June 1906. Created with turning the then-technical school into a full-fledged university, Matheson was an ideal candidate to lead Drexel after Hollis Godfrey's resignation. Elected president in the fall of 1921, Matheson left Georgia Tech and assumed his role with Drexel in April 1922. (A special administrative board, chaired by Dean of the Faculty Frank H. Linthicum, governed in the interim.)
Matheson reorganized the administrative and faculty structure of the institute, making several new appointments and creating the position of Dean of Men to go along with the expanded position of Dean of Women. These two posts were key in supporting student organizations and encouraging extracurricular participation. Matheson also created a Faculty Council comprised of deans, directors, and department heads that met weekly. At alumni request, he reinstated the Library School; the Department of Education and Psychology was also formed.
At his arrival, the institute operated at a deficit, which Matheson offset with donations from the Drexel family and their friends. For a more long-term fix, he developed a $1 million endowment campaign, announcing in 1923 that the General Education Board of the Rockefeller Foundation would contribute $100,000 if the institute could raise $900,000 in public contributions. The drive began in 1924 and reached its goal in four years, receiving the $100,000 by 1930.
Matheson expanded the cooperative education program begun by Godfrey, making contacts to allow engineering and business administration students to work for wages throughout the school year, rather than only during breaks.
Campus growth included the 1929 dedication of Curtis Hall for engineering, and the opening of the Sarah Drexel Van Rensselaer Dormitory for Women in 1931.
In May 1931, the Board of Trustees voted Matheson a leave of absence because of poor health. However, Matheson decided to postpone his leave and died of a heart attack on Nov. 29, 1931.

of Labor Force in January
The number of Americans not in the labor force grew by 169,000 in January, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics' latest jobs report.
BLS labels people who are unemployed and no longer looking for work as "not in the labor force," including people who have retired on schedule, taken early retirement, or simply given up looking for work. There were 89 million of them last month.
The number of people not in the labor force had declined in December to 88.8 million from 88.9 million in November.
The nation's unemployment rate increased a tenth of a point in January, rising to 7.9% from 7.8%, a level the Labor Department described as "essentially unchanged."
"Total nonfarm payroll employment increased by 157,000 in January, and the unemployment rate was essentially unchanged at 7.9 percent," the US Bureau of Labor Statistics reported Friday morning. It said jobs were added in retail trade, construction, healthcare, and wholesale trade.
The number of unemployed persons, at 12.3 million, was little changed in January and has been at this level since Sept. 2012.
Among the major worker groups, the unemployment rates for adult men (7.3%), adult women (7.3%), teenagers (23.4%), whites (7.0%), blacks (13.8%), and Hispanics (9.7%) showed little or no change in January. The jobless rate for Asians was 6.5% (not seasonally adjusted), little changed from a year earlier.
In January, the number of long-term unemployed (those jobless for 27 weeks or more) was about unchanged at 4.7 million and accounted for 38.1% of the unemployed.
A bright spot is mining employment, which increased (+6,000) over the month; employment in this industry has risen by 23,000 over the past 3 months.
Employment edged down in transportation and warehousing in January (-14,000). Couriers and messengers lost 19,000 jobs over the month, following strong seasonal hiring in
November and December. Air transportation employment decreased by 5,000 in January.
Manufacturing employment was essentially unchanged in January and has changed little, on net, since July 2012.

The report, which was picked up by 9to5Mac, gets that date from Taiwanese suppliers who spoke to a Chinese newspaper in the area.
It's also worth noting that February 24 is a Friday, a day which Apple typically likes to launch new devices on.
Of course, this is just a rumored date, but it does coincide with other reports we've heard that Apple is targeting a February launch for the iPad 3. If that's the case, expect an announcement in mid-February.

Motorola already has an Android powered watch product named MOTOACTV. Sony too has a product named SmartWatch.
And we have heard about the rumors of Apple developing a similar product likely to be named iWatch.
Samsung has now confirmed that they have been working on a smart watch for a while now and they expect to bring it to the market in the near future.
Industry analysts believe that both Apple and Samsung are working hard to ensure that they release their product first.
It would be essential to enter this emerging market faster so as to get the first movers advantage.
Motorola has not had much success with their MOTOACTV model which was marketed more as a fitness accessory.

New Computer
Hi all,
So I am looking to get a desktop computer for some gaming and photoshop. I was originally looking at the Dell XPS 8500 with i7 and nvidia 640 gddr5. This seemed good but I don't know how well it will perform for games. I am looking at simcity and sims3 and photoshop mainly, and it will be running on a 27" 1920x1080 monitor. Is there another computer to buy for under $1000 that will do this better, or can I build one for this (I am really inexperienced with this) and will it be easy enough to do? Or will this computer suffice for my needs?

Bath Bombs
Posted by Deborah Ward on January 4th, 2014 in bath and body, bath bombs, bath fizzies, bath products, essential oils, Fragrance Oils, herbs, Natures Garden | Comments Off
A bath bomb (also called a bath fizzie) is a skin softening bath product that produces "fizz" when it comes into contact with water. Bath bombs contain citric acid and baking soda, although the more elaborate bath bomb recipes include luxurious butters, oils, colors, fragrance, and herbs. In order to get bath bombs to form a shape, witch hazel is gently sprayed into the bath bomb mixture until it is crumbly.
Making your own homemade bath bombs is really easy to do. With a few essential ingredients and fillable plastic ornaments, you are able to create any number of different bath bombs. In fact, even if you don't have the fillable plastic ornaments, you can use other things like silicone molds or even leave the bath bomb in a loose form that you can scoop into your tub.
Bath bombs or bath fizzes can introduce many great elements to tub time. Some examples of this are the wonderful aromatic or healing capabilities of herbs and/or essential oils. You can even make bath bombs bright, colorful, and fun by introducing fragrance oils and soap colorants to the mix.
Knowing how stressful the holiday season can be for many of us, we recently sought out to make some soothing and relaxing themed bath bombs. Anyone with a chaotic and busy schedule can relate that sometimes, it is necessary to take a step back, breath, and focus on relaxing; even if it is just for a short period of time. The recipe that was created was inspired by the goal of relaxation; and are called Lavender Sage Bath Bombs. These enjoyable fizzes are just what you need to take the edge off.
Some of the key ingredients used in these fabulous lavender bath bombs are:
Bentonite Clay Powder- used to help clean impurities on the skin
Lavender Flower Powder- a natural relaxant, is also used for the soothing of irritated skin as well as healing.
Castor Oil- a humectant that draws moisture to your skin.
Rose Petals- great for relaxation but also have antiseptic, antiparasitic, and anti-inflammatory properties.
Citric Acid- reacts with baking soda and water to create fizz. Citric acid is a natural water softener.
To view the complete Lavender Sage Bath Bomb Recipe click here. To view other free bath bomb recipes simply click on this link.
When you are ready, here are the steps to use a bath bomb:
1. Tell your family you are out of commission for 30 minutes.
2. Run your bath water. Do not add any bubbles to the water.
3. When you are ready to get in the tub, hold your bath bomb above water. Do not let it get wet.
4. Gently get in the tub and finally place your bath bomb in the water.
5. Set back, relax, and enjoy your peace and quiet while also enjoying the delightful fizz, calming scent, and tranquility of the moment.
Hint: If you make bath bombs that contain herbs, but you do not want those herbs floating around your tub, you can always place the bath bomb into a nylon, cheesecloth, or gauze prior to putting it into the water.

Job Shadow
What is a Job Shadow?
- A job shadow is a non-hands on observational experience. You'll spend limited time with a professional in the health care area of interest in order to see what their daily job is like.
Are there different kinds/lengths of Job Shadows?
- Most definitely. Please read below to understand the different kinds so you can fill out the correct forms. If you are unsure, please ask us! Here they are:
- High School (8 hours or less): For students interested in the healthcare field; the experience lasts 8 hours or less. As of September 2010, high school students are required to first attend a 3 hour "Career Experience Event" in the Fox Valley area before being considered for a one-on-one job shadow. Visit the Career Experience Events page for further information.
- Adult, Dislocated Worker, or Career/Job Change (8 hours or less): 8 hour or less job shadow experiences may be available for:
- An adult who is enrolled or considering enrolling in a higher education program (technical college, university, etc.) and wants to spend a day or less with a healthcare professional. Some schools make this a prerequisite, but once you need more than 8 hours, requirements increase.
- An adult who has been dislocated from their job and is considering a healthcare career.
- An adult who is considering a career change, or a even position change within their field.
- Extended Job Shadows (more than 8 hours, additional requirements apply): Occasionally, higher education programs will require additional hours of job shadowing as a prerequisite to apply for their healthcare programs. Examples include Physical Therapy, Occupational Therapy, and Physician Assistant. Requirements vary by school. To be considered for an extended job shadow, there are additional things you need to do, including a signature from the school requiring the experience and a separate application.
Is a job shadow different than a clinical placement?
- Definitely. Job shadows are observational experiences, most of them for a day or less. Clinical placements are for advanced students already enrolled in a higher educational program. Further information can be found on the Student Clinical Placements page.
I want to shadow in Pediatrics, Obstetrics, Gynecology, or the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU), or at the Orthopedic & Sports Institute of the Fox Valley. Do I need to do anything extra?
- Yes. For the specialty areas above, you will need to provide proof of current immunizations by completing a student health requirements form, which is then sent in with your application. The student health requirements form and application are provided later.
My family member/neighbor/friend works at an area medical provider and they know someone who said I can just shadow them without going through this process. Is that OK?
- No. Due to the high number of requests, the job shadow system was restructured. As mentioned before, high school students can now attend one of many "Career Experience Events" in lieu of a one-on-one experience. Because of potential liability and insurance concerns, various forms/paperwork need to be completed. So while we appreciate the fact that someone offered to help you, everyone must follow the same process.
If I follow all of these steps and turn in my job shadow application, am I guaranteed a placement? How long does it take to hear back once I turn in my information?
- Unfortunately, job shadows are not, and cannot, be guaranteed. Area health providers do their best to accommodate reasonable requests, but it depends on staff availability, administrative direction, and other factors that can, and do change. Staff try to respond within a two week period once a request is received. If it's been two weeks and you haven't heard back, feel free to inquire, but please, no earlier than two weeks.
Can I do more than one job shadow experience?
- While we'd like to accommodate every request, that is not possible, so we prefer you take some time to really research areas you are interested in and then narrow it down before selecting an area. If you are a high school student, remember to check out the career experience events first as it's a requirement.
I'm an adult student enrolled in an out of state or an online program. Am I able to do an extended job shadow experience?
- It depends. We suggest you fill out the application and send it to a facility which offers the career area you need, but please note that the first priority of the FVHCA partners is to assist local students who are going to school in the area/state of Wisconsin.
