Massage Therapy While Pregnant
As any expectant mother knows, pregnancy brings with it a wide range of physical and emotional changes—and often plenty of discomfort, particularly in the lower back and hips. For many women, prenatal massage offers a naturally relaxing way to alleviate the aches and pains that can result from increased weight, shifting posture and fluctuating hormone levels.
A form of therapeutic bodywork intended to meet the unique needs of pregnant women, prenatal massage promotes better function of muscles and joints, aids circulation, improves overall body tone, and helps decrease mental and physical fatigue. The chemical-free benefits of regular massage can even carry over into labor and delivery, helping mothers relax and breathe more easily through contractions.
After your baby is born, postnatal massage therapy can help reduce anxiety and relieve muscle strain and soreness.
What to expect:
Before your first massage, the therapist will conduct a detailed intake questionnaire to find out how your pregnancy is going, when you last saw your doctor and where you're experiencing the most discomfort. The recommended frequency of massage depends on your specific issues, but typically one session a month or more is recommended beginning in your second trimester and continuing until you deliver.
Your massage therapist may also suggest exercise, acupuncture and other complementary techniques to help you address particular concerns.
Massage sessions may be scheduled for 30, 60 or 90 minutes. Depending on your size and how far you are in your pregnancy, you may lay on your back and/or your side, propped with pillows. Commonly used techniques include a soothing combination of light to medium pressure, mild stretching, and possibly some deep tissue massage. During and after your treatment, you can expect to feel the release of muscle tension, more energy and heightened awareness. Some women also feel their bodies move more easily and enjoy increased range of motion and flexibility.
Try it—you'll like it:
Massage therapy supplements regular prenatal care from your physician, who should always be consulted before beginning treatment. Be sure to find massage therapists specially trained in prenatal massage. And as an extra bonus, many massage therapists can help you get your baby off to a relaxed start by demonstrating infant massage techniques.

An art-felt goodbye to Ribble Valley teacher
12:12pm Tuesday 23rd August 2011 in Billington
A POPULAR teacher has retired after more than a decade at an East Lancashire school.
St Augustine's RC High School's head of art, Graham Mansfield has left the Billington school after 21 years.
Mr Mansfield was inundated with letters of appreciation and thank you cards from past and present pupils, parents and colleagues.
And he was paid a visit by one of his former pupils, Isobel Peachey, now a successful artist who recently became the youngest woman to paint an official portrait of the Queen .
The former Marks and Spencer fashion designer joined St Augustine's in 1991 and earlier this year led his department through a successful Ofsted subject inspection.
Headteacher, Anthony McNamara, said: "Graham Mansfield has taught thousands of pupils over the years and many will remember him as the man who helped them to achieve a great result at GCSE.
"He has been a strong and constant presence in our school and we will miss him greatly.
"We wish him a long and happy retirement and we hope that he will keep in contact with us in the future."

The Wofford practice field was too wet to be used, so the third day of Panthers' training camp was back in Gibbs stadium. Pleasant early weather gave way to oppressive heat, and I have the farmer's tan to prove it.
The good news
Cam Newton was a lot more accurate on Sunday, and really settled into his rhythm. There were a few questionable passes here or there, but overall he showed a lot better touch on difficult passes. The Panthers worked a lot of quick-twitch routes, where naturally the small receivers would excel. Newton got the ball out quickly, and showed a deft touch playing the sidelines.
Two receivers set themselves apart in the day's session: Brandon LaFell, and Ted Ginn. Nobody was better than LaFell over the weekend, and if I had to give belabored 'MVP' award, it would go to him. He was the only receiver who didn't drop a single pass, and looks a little faster than he's been in the past. Ginn looks like a legitimate burner as a third wideout -- but he's done that in the past too. What is noticeable is how much better his body control is, particularly as he contorts to passes away from his body.
It's stunning how big of a leap Joe Adams took today. He practiced better than I've ever seen him, and for the first time looked like a legitimate slot receiver -- however, this also came with a drop or two. Armanti Edwards was much the same as yesterday, which is to say he's starting to make me a believer. Perhaps this is the year he can finally shake the moniker of being a camp performer.
Josh Norman's coverage skills are vastly improved. He still committed a few obvious pass interference penalties, but he's sticking on the receiver's hips better and hounding passes in close coverage. To this end it's important to note that Charles Godfrey is taking an active leadership role with the DBs, and is who they're all looking up to.
Greg Hardy and Charles Johnson are still monsters, but they looked like 20.0 sack defensive ends in relation to the players they were against (more on that later). Star Lotulelei and Kawann Short looked fine, but none of the DTs really shined today.
The bad news
No player was more consistently disappointing over the weekend than David Gettis. His route running is still rounded, he's not getting the separation we saw in 2010, and he dropped two passes today that Ginn hauled in on similar throws. If this keeps up there is no way he sniffs the 53 man roster.
The offensive line is as bad as I've seen in a long time. Today's bright spot was Amini Silatolu, who looks to have slimmed down a little and become more athletic as a result. He was shutting down the young defensive tackles, and man-handled Dwan Edwards for much of the day. Jordan Gross was routinely beaten by Greg Hardy, Byron Bell was a turnstile against Charles Johnson, and Geoff Hangartner still looked like Geoff Hangartner. What's more worrying is how poor the backups looked, where everybody struggled.
Based on this weekend...
Here are my final thoughts from the two practices I watched:
- Jimmy Clausen is a near-lock to make the roster, and I think he could legitimately pressure Derek Anderson. He has a new, slightly-elongated throwing motion -- but is getting a lot of zip from his passes as a result. There are still several "WTF!" moments, but nowhere near as many as last year.
- The offensive line needs help fast, and I'd like to say it's because of DL dominance. A lot of the struggles are their own, and with Dave Gettleman looking on he will probably realize that too.
- I'm more bullish on the safeties than I was entering camp. Godfrey looks so much better at FS, and Robert Lester has a lot of potential. Mike Mitchell was used a lot in safety blitzes, which is a great role for him. It wouldn't surprise me to see SS by committee, given how they're tinkering with third-down packages.
- My WR depth chart right now is: Smith/LaFell/Ginn/Hixon/Edwards/Adams -- that's who I think makes the roster in the end.
- Brad Nortman and Jordan Gay are destined to have a Mare/Medlock battle in camp. Nortman had more impressive individual punts, but Gay was more consistent on the weekend.

As voting for the Golden Joystick Awards 2012 enters its final weeks, we take a look at each of the individual categories. Today is the turn of Best Action/Adventure category.
Best Action/Adventure shortlist:
Who are we voting for?
Matt Cundy (UK Editor): Asura's Wrath. Epic scale and scope of storytelling, all played out with an insane cast of glorious megalomaniacs, and made interactive with some of the most outrageously mental moments of gaming I've ever had to frantically finger-stab my way through. It caught me completely off guard and I loved every second of it.
David Houghton (UK Associate Editor): There's only one feasible option here. In a year when Uncharted turned out to be uncharacteristically bloated and sloppy, Batman turned up with one of the best third-person action, stealth, and open-world games ever made. It's dense of atmosphere, smart and genuinely affecting of story, and a significant and kinetically pristine gameplay upgrade over the first one. It also creates a rare open-world in which every architectural detail matters and every side-quest feels like a legitimate, significant contribution to the whole narrative and sense of place. It's perfect.
Justin Towell (UK Content Editor): Well, it's got to be Sonic Generations for me. I'm playing through Arkham City at the moment and it's incredible, but I got a lot of enjoyment out of Generations and it's such a relief to finally have a great 3D Sonic game. It's not perfect, but it deserves more praise than it got, if only for that incredible Modern Sonic Green Hill level. Pure bliss on a Blu-Ray disc and it never, ever gets old when you're speedrunning it.
Those are the action/adventure games getting our votes, but what about you – who are you voting for? Tell us in the comments.

Abstract—The popularity of empirical methods in software engineering research is on the rise. Surveys, experiments, metrics, case studies, and field studies are examples of empirical methods used to investigate both software engineering processes and products. The increased application of empirical methods has also brought about an increase in discussions about adapting these methods to the peculiarities of software engineering. In contrast, the ethical issues raised by empirical methods have received little, if any, attention in the software engineering literature. This article is intended to introduce the ethical issues raised by empirical research to the software engineering research community and to stimulate discussion of how best to deal with these ethical issues. Through a review of the ethical codes of several fields that commonly employ humans and artifacts as research subjects, we have identified major ethical issues relevant to empirical studies of software engineering. These issues are illustrated with real empirical studies of software engineering.

During the post game, JOB talked extensively about relentless pressure and its direct correlation to the success of the team. He is absolutely right about the Pacers need to be more commited to attacking the opponent on both ends of the floor, and with the current roster; the Pacers have to do it on a consistent basis in order for success. During the last couple of seasons, the Pacers would let their opponents get into their offensive set and then try to cover their opponents from that point on; a team can not consistently stop opposing offenses with this kind of mindset as the offense is always a step away of the defense. A good team does not wait for the opposing team, rather it is constantly on the attack no matter which team has the ball.
Though the NBA is trying to create a faster and free flowing game, it does not necessarily mean the disappearance of great defensive teams. Pacer Fans should remember that not so long ago around 2004, the Pacers were an elite defensive team, who were defeated by an even better defensive team named the Detroit Pistons. The Pistons won a championship with zero superstars. Non of their five starting players were elite offensive players, most of them wouldn't even be considered athletic in today's term. Their success lies within their ferocious competitiveness and drive to stop their opponents on every possession. That Pistons team was the best cohesive units the NBA has ever seen, as a Pacer's fan, you hate them but also envy them. That Pistons team was downright intimidating with their hard nose defense,. Unquestionably, that was one team most teams did not want to face on any given night, they were simply a terror to behold.
Now lets return to the present and JOB's comments about relentless pressure. The Pacers are no where close to a elite defensive unit, but with that said, there is no reason why they can't commit themselves to every possession. Basketball is a game of rhythm and runs, players get hot and players get cold. Hot streaks are often the products of players getting into their comfort zone and being able to get to their sweet spots. A good defensive team wrecks havoc on the flow of their opponents game by simply making them work harder on every possession to deny them their comfort zone. If this disruption is performed on every possession, even the best players will get frustrated. The Pacers have good size and good athleticism on the current team, they also have many young and high energy players. With these combination the Pacers should be more than capable of rebounding and defending. The problem is simply mindset and the execution of this mindset. The Pacers should no longer be thinking of simply beating teams, no, rather their mindset should be to tear the hearts out of their opponents with shear bruising physicality with unrelenting pressure from all sides from end to end. The Pacers already have a guy with this mentality, ( I think you all know who I'm talking about). There were moments where he simply rips the ball out of the opponents hands, you can see the absolute disbelieve on the opposing player. There is simply no defense against physical play. If the Pacers are really into about Passion and Pride, the have to make relentless pressure a matter of personal determination. Of course, these things do not happen over night, it takes time for individuals to reach these levels on individual basis and from each successive individual comes a more complete cohesive unit that rotates instantaneously on instincts. If the Pacers are really prepared to turn the corner from a franchise spiraling out of control to a playoff team, they must have this resolve to go after each play with sheer tenacity; for it is this quality that distinguish the contenders from the pretenders.

For more than 100 years before the Tokugawa Shogunate took power in Japan in 1603, the country wallowed in lawlessness and chaos during the Sengoku or "Warring States" period (1467-1573). Beginning in 1568, however, Japan's "Three Reunifiers" - Oda Nobunaga, Toyotomi Hideyoshi, and Tokugawa Ieyasu - worked to bring the warring daimyo back under central control. In 1603, Tokugawa Ieyasu completed this task and established the Tokugawa Shogunate, which would rule in the emperor's name until 1868.
The Early Tokugawa Shogunate:
Tokugawa Ieyasu defeated the daimyo who were loyal to the late Toyotomi Hideyoshi and his young son Hideyori at the Battle of Sekigahara in October of 1600. Fifteen years later, he would besiege the young Toyotomi heir at Osaka Castle; Hideyori's defenses failed and the young man committed seppuku, confirming the Tokugawa hold on power once and for all.
In 1603, the emperor bestowed upon Tokugawa Ieyasu the title of shogun. Tokugawa Ieyasu established his capital at Edo, a small fishing village on the marshes of the Kanto plain, which would later become known as Tokyo.
Ieyasu formally reigned as shogun for just two years; in order to insure his family's claim on the title and ensure continuity of policy, he had his son Hidetada named shogun in 1605. However, Ieyasu continued to run the government from behind the scenes until his death in 1616. This political and administrative savvy would characterize the first Tokugawa shoguns.
The Tokugawa Peace:
Life in Tokugawa Japan was peaceful but heavily controlled by the shogunal government. After a century of chaotic warfare, the Tokugawa Peace was a much-needed respite. For the samurai warriors, however, the change from Sengoku meant that they were forced to work as bureaucrats in the Tokugawa administration. The Sword Hunt ensured that nobody but the samurai had weapons.
The samurai were not the only sector in Japan that faced changing life-styles or livelihoods under the Tokugawas. All sectors of society were confined to their traditional roles much more strictly than in the past, beginning in the time of Toyotomi Hideyoshi. The Tokugawas continued this harsher imposition of the four-tier class structure, imposing and enforcing rules about small details like which classes could use luxurious silks for their clothing or tortoiseshell for hair-pins.
Japanese Christians, who had been converted by Portuguese traders and missionaries in previous years, were first banned from practicing their religion in 1614 by Tokugawa Hidetada. To enforce this law, the shogunate required all citizens to register with their local Buddhist temple; any who refused were considered disloyal to the bakufu. The Shimabara Rebellion, made up mostly of Christian peasants, flared in 1637-38, but was stamped out by the shogunate. Afterward, Japanese Christians were exiled, executed or driven underground, and Christianity faded from the country.
Despite some heavy-handed tactics, the Tokugawa shoguns presided over a long period of peace and relative prosperity in Japan. In fact, life seemed so peaceful and unchanging that it sparked the creation of the ukiyo, or "Floating World," among urban samurai, wealthy merchants, and geisha.
The Floating World crashed back down to Earth suddenly in 1853, when the American Commodore Matthew Perry and his black ships appeared in Edo Bay. Tokugawa Ieyoshi, the 60-year-old shogun, died soon after Perry's fleet arrived.
His son, Tokugawa Iesada, would agree under duress to sign the Convention of Kanagawa the following year, after Perry returned with a larger fleet. Under the terms of the convention, American ships had access to three Japanese ports where they could take on provisions, and ship-wrecked American sailors were to be treated well.
This sudden imposition of outside power did not immediately bring down the Tokugawa shogunate, even though other western countries quickly followed the American lead. However, it did signal the beginning of the end for the Tokugawas.
Fall of the Tokugawas:
The sudden influx of foreign people, ideas and money severely disrupted Japan's lifestyle and economy in the 1850s and 1860s. As a result, the Emperor Komei came out from behind the "jeweled curtain" to issue an "Order to Expel Barbarians" in 1863; it was too late for Japan to retreat once more into isolation, however. In fact, the order did nothing to prevent foreign warships from shelling Japanese ports and ships with impunity in reaction to threats, real or imagined.
Anti-western daimyo, particularly in the southern provinces of Choshu and Satsuma, blamed the Tokugawa shogunate for its inability to defend Japan against the foreign barbarians. Ironically, both the Choshu rebels and the Tokugawa troops began programs of rapid modernization, which meant adopting many western military technologies. The southern daimyo were more successful in their modernization than the shogunate was, however.
In 1866, Shogun Tokugawa Iemochi suddenly died, and Tokugawa Yoshinobu reluctantly took power. He would be the fifteenth and last Tokugawa shogun. In 1867, the emperor also died, and his son Mitsuhito became the Meiji Emperor.
Faced with growing Choshu and Satsuma threats, Yoshinobu relinquished some of his powers. On November 9, 1867, Yoshinobu resigned from the office of shogun, which was abolished. The southern daimyo launched the Boshin War (1867-69) nonetheless, to ensure that power would henceforth rest with the emperor rather than with a military leader. The following January, the pro-imperial daimyo announced the Meiji Restoration, under which the young Meiji Emperor would once again rule in his own name.
After 250 years of peace and relative isolation under the Tokugawa shoguns, Japan launched itself into the modern world. With the sorry fate of once-omnipotent China as an example, the island nation threw itself in to developing its economy and military might. It soon grew powerful enough to beat the western imperial powers at their own game in conflicts such as the Russo-Japanese War of 1904-05, and to spread its own empire across much of Asia by 1945.

Someone, somewhere, made a bit of an 'oopsie'.
We are the driest State in the driest continent on Earth. We have a river running through our capital city that contrasts beautifully with its surroundings and provides many endless activities: rowing for the fit, walking for the perambulatorily-inclined, a running path, a safe cycling track that starts in the foothills at Athelstone and ends at the beach, fun for families on holidays and weekends with the occupant-propelled cycle paddleboats, a river cruise service and a couple of very nice restaurants who rely on the river to provide a scenic backdrop to their exquisite service.
So imagine the frustration our Premier felt when it turned out that someone or something somewhere had 'stuffed up'.
As I type this, no final explanation has been forthcoming (to the Premier's very vocal and much-reported annoyance and frustration) as to why it suddenly lost several hundred thousand litres of water. So much water, in fact, that the 'opportunity' has been taken by the good citizenry of Adelaide to rename the part of the Torrens River in the city as 'Stinky Flats'.
Thankfully, quick to capitalise on this 'opportunity', the Adelaide City Council has taken upon itself the task of cleaning the river up – removing the old and mangled push bikes, the green wheelie bins, the odd bits of scaffolding and steel girder, the copious bottles and cans; indeed, there's so many bottles and cans buried in the river bed that the project could almost pay for itself once they have been taken to a Boy Scout recycling depot and cashed in at 10 cents per bottle/can.
But with no word forthcoming from anyone regarding an actual 'why' it happened we all, including a fuming Premier, remain left to our own speculations. Which is not a good place for any public service entity to be.
Whither their Communications or Media Manager?

Indianapolis Manager Thinks Starling Marte's Stay Could Be Short
This surprised me. Maybe it's PR, a way to get fans to the games at Indy, but I'm surprised Dean Treanor is quoted as saying, "I wouldn't expect he'll be here very long." And later in the article, "I think they want him to face some more veteran pitching before they call him up, but I really don't expect him to be here an extended period of time." I'd be surprised, barring injury, if Marte were called up any time before July and it wouldn't surprise me if he wasn't called up at all. There is little point in having him up in September unless it is clear he is going to be starting on Opening Day 2013 because they can better manage his service time. Having said that, performance will hopefully will dictate most of what happens. I just don't see how Dean Treanor is benefiting anyone by putting a timeframe on things. But then again, maybe he knows something we don't.

Madonna got fired up and unleashed an expletive-filled rant during a recent sound check performance held before her outdoor concert in Santiago, Chile because several people in the crowd were smoking cigarettes.
Dressed in a hooded black rain jacket, the 54-year-old singer and longtime health and fitness advocate walked across a tarp-covered stage at the National Stadium on Wednesday while singing her song "Human Nature." She and many audience members held umbrellas and hers blew out immediately after she opened it, prompting several people to laugh. She then stopped singing.
"There's people smoking right now," she said, angrily. "No smoking. Where are they smoking? If you're going to smoke cigarettes, I'm not doing a show. You don't care about me? I don't care about you. Alright, are we going to play that game? I'm not kidding. I can't sing if you smoke. Entiendes?"
"You know what -- if you love me then don't smoke," she said. "No smoking. You're looking right at me and you're smoking cigarettes like I'm a stupid [expletive] idiot."
The singer eventually continued the sound check performance and the actual concert was held hours later, although it began more than two hours late and ended 40 minutes early. Organizers said that the delay and shortened performance was prompted by the rainy weather as well as production problems.
Madonna has in the past posed for professional photos while holding a cigarette and famously puffed on a cigar during an interview on CBS' "Late Show with David Letterman" in 1994. She also appears with a lit cigarette in her 2012 music video "Girl Gone Wild". But the singer does not smoke in real life.
After Madonna's teenage daughter Lola was photographed in public with a cigarette earlier this year, the singer said on NBC's "Rock Center" in April she "wasn't very happy about it" and that she thinks she may need to be "tougher" on her.
"It's hard though - every day is a negotiation," she said. "But cigarette smoking I'm not very fond of - for anyone. I don't approve of anyone smoking cigarettes - most of all, my daughter."
Madonna's concert in Chile was one of the stops on her "MDNA" tour, which was named the highest-grossing tour of 2012, according to Billboard. Her world concert series has grossed more than $228.4 million in ticket sales since it began in Israel on May 31.
Madonna is no stranger to controversy and has made headlines over several incidents that occurred during her "MDNA" tour. At her October 27 concert in New Orleans, she was booed by scores of audience members and spurred several to leave after she told the crowd to vote for President Barack Obama in the November election.
She angered France's far-right National Front party by showing at a concert in Paris in July an image of French political leader Marine Le Pen with a swastika superimposed on her forehead.
In August, she was sued by Russian activists for expressing her support for gay rights during a concert in St. Petersburg.
In October, several fans at her concert in Denver, Colorado complained she used a fake gun to shoot a masked gunman during the show, which took place months after a gunman shot and killed several people during a midnight screening of "The Dark Knight Rises" in a movie theater in the state.
Check out fan-made videos of Madonna scolding fans for smoking at her sound check in Chile (warning: Contains explicit language) as well as her "Girl Gone Wild" clip.

|House delays formal vote on calamity day bill
|Wednesday, February 12, 2014 9:12 PM
COLUMBUS (AP) — The Ohio House has held off taking a formal vote on a plan to let schools take up to four additional days off this year because of the season's extreme weather.
A House spokesman said Wednesday that members plan to take an additional week to continue to work on the number of days in the proposal and review its costs.
Snow and frigid temperatures has led many districts across Ohio to exhaust their five allowable calamity days. Some have cancelled classes for 10 or more days.
Meanwhile, some schools are using "blizzard bag" take-home or online assignments to make up missed classes.
Gov. John Kasich has been among those advocating adding extra snow days on a one-time basis this year.
Another proposal slated to get a Senate hearing Wednesday would excuse high school seniors from makeup days that fall after their scheduled graduation ceremonies.
Ohio schools will get an extra week to administer required state achievement tests to third- through eighth-graders due to the effects of severe winter weather that has delayed and canceled classes, Ohio's state superintendent said Tuesday.
Many districts are scrambling to keep pace with classroom topics that students face on the Ohio Achievement Tests starting in April.
Superintendent Richard Ross told members of the state school board that the testing window will be expanded from three weeks to four weeks, running from April 21 to May 16.
The timetable for administering the Ohio Graduation Test has not changed.
Schools in at least 10 states and the District of Columbia have run out of wiggle room in their academic calendars, forcing them to cut short planned breaks, hold class on holidays, add extra days to the end of the year or otherwise compensate for the lost time.
Students will make up at least three days in Philadelphia and New Haven, Conn., and two in Washington, D.C. Delaware schools have missed a week's worth of class, and more than half of Maryland's school districts reached or exceeded their allotted snow days. Boston is extending its school year by nearly a week.
The schedule shuffle is a pain for parents and educators trying to plan for schoolwork and child care now and vacation time later.

Albany- When day turns to night, South Georgia becomes a Christmas wonderland, as homeowners cover their yards with lights. If you are getting ready to put up your lights, there are certain things you should know, so you can prevent a Christmas blaze.
Home Depot electrician, Jamie Fowler, says when you are getting ready to buy lights you should look for U-L sign of approval on the box, which means they are safe for you to use.
Franklin Lofton, lives in Bronwood, Georgia, and he says he's been putting up lights for the last twenty years, and he says he's always careful. While Fowler says more consumers should be just as save as Jones, he says many people go wrong when they put the light plug into the socket, to see the finished project.
Fowler also says putting up Christmas lights should be fun, he says you have to be careful, follow directions, and if you have questions, just ask, so your home will still be standing when the season is over.
Jamie Fowler says some people try to use indoor lights on the outside, but that is very dangerous because the insulation on the indoor lights cannot withstand the wet and cold outdoor conditions.

News: Rick Ross Addresses Gucci Mane's Twitter Meltdown: "When You Jump Off That Porch, You Jump" [Video]
Wednesday, Sep 11, 2013 12:25PM
Maybach Music Group leader Rick Ross has spoken out on Gucci Mane in light of explosive name-dropping remarks made on his Twitter page this week.
Rather than jump the gun, Ross said he hoped Gucci would reach out to him personally if there are any real issues.
"You know, as far as, you know, if somebody needs some help, they need to get it. You know what I'm saying? As far as when you jump out there, when you jump off that porch, you jump. You know what I'm saying? Me and homie, we was always cool. We'll see. I haven't spoke to dog. At the end of the day, for one, I don't move with that Twitter talk. I'm a $50 million dude. I don't move by Twitter talk and all that. You know what I'm saying? Real dudes, they make up. Even if it's a problem, they get on the line. You know, on Twitter, you'll never see Rozay really jump off the porch with Twitter. Regardless, I'm not an emotional person like that." (Hot 97)
A couple days ago, Grand Hustle boss T.I. made a reference to Gucci's public tirade.
"Only a fool acts reckless for publicity.," Tip tweeted September 9.
Instead of keeping quiet, Young Money's Nicki Minaj fired back at Gucci over sexual allegations he made on Twitter.
"May God strike me dead if I ever had sex wit that man. Lmfaoooooooooo. Nigga da way ya #ugliness is set up ???????????????????????????? #BubbaGump #crackhead," Nicki tweeted back.
"I'm rlly cracking up. He's fighting so hard for one more ounce of relevance. Tyga and I turned down his feature request last Thursday. ????"
"Wait. He called somebody a piece of lard. ???????????????????????????????????????? yall I'm cryin!!!!"
"Gucci look like a upset stomach ????????????????????????" (Nicki Minaj's Twitter)
According to Gucci, a former manager is responsible for compromising his Twitter page.
"My ex manager hack my acct str8 up," Gucci tweeted September 11. (Gucci Mane's Twitter)

Zizioulas ( The Eucharistic Communion and the World ) argues that "the New Testament Churches . . . seem to have so identified the Eucharist with the Church herself that the terms 'Eucharist' and 'Church' are interchangeable in the existing witnesses" (15).
He elaborates, focusing on 1 Corinthians:
"While it is clear from the contextthat Paul is thinking of the eucharistic gathering in this chapter, hecalls this gathering Church: When you come together as a church . . . (1 Cor. 11:18). If the Corinthians who read this sentence were livingtoday, they would certainly wonder: What does he mean by, youcome together as a church? Are we not the Church when we are notgathered? But apparently this question never occurred to them becauseat that time the term Church was not related to the theories and theidea of universalism, and actually meant this gathering meeting forthe purpose of celebrating the Eucharist. This is precisely why Paul,immediately after, does not hesitate to say that to injure the eucharisticgathering is to injure the Church of God (1 Cor. 11:22). Moreover,he continues by identifying the Eucharist with the Church in a strikingway when he connects everything that he said about the former towhat he says about the latter by simply for, as the one sufficed as anexplanation for the other: do you show contempt [by your conduct inthe Eucharist] for the church of God . . . ? For I received from the Lordwhat I also handed on to you [i.e., the Lords Supper] (1 Cor. 11:22-3).Therefore, according to Pauls usage in this passage, the expressions togather or to gather in one place, Lords Supper, and Church orChurch of God are identical" (15).
He argues that a eucharistic ecclesiology is implicit in other New Testament images of the church: "house Church ( kat oikon ecclesia ), an expression thatdoes not mean a Christian family, but the house where (according toearly tradition, e.g., Acts 2:46) the local church usually met for theEucharist (the family even a very Christian family is clearlydistinguished from the Church in Pauls thought, cf. 1 Tim. 3:4-5, andeven 1 Cor. 11:22). For this reason we should not consider the houseChurch as a special type of Church, but as an indication of where theChurch gathered for the Eucharist, a place that naturally received thename of the owner of the house (Philemon 1-2; Rom. 16:5-16), justas the houses in Rome that were later known by the names of theirowners (Saint Clement, etc.) because they had been used as a place forthe eucharistic gatherings of the local Church" (15-16). "House Church," in short, suggests a meeting place for the Christian family, gathered around the family table.

There is really no way to know for sure if you're going to get endometrial cancer. Certain factors can make you more likely to get this cancer than another woman. These are your risk factors. However, just because you have one or more risk factors does not necessarily mean you will get endometrial cancer. In fact, you can have all the risk factors and still not get it. Or you can have no known risk factors and still get it.
Most of the risks linked to endometrial cancer come from too much exposure to the hormone estrogen. Estrogen and progesterone are the two main types of female hormones. The balance between these two hormones in your uterus changes every month during your menstrual cycle. These two hormones need to be in the right balance for your uterus to be healthy.
If you agree with any of the following bolded statements, you are at an increased risk for endometrial cancer. Many of these risk factors may be out of your control, such as your age or family history. Some risk factors, such as the types of food you eat, are factors you can control. Ask your healthcare team and your loved ones to help you think of ways that you can succeed at lowering your risk.
Uterine cancer or colon cancer runs in my family.
If several of your family members have had uterine, endometrial, or colon cancer, you are at greater risk for getting endometrial cancer. You may have inherited a genetic problem called nonpolyposis colorectal cancer (HNPCC). You may wish to talk with your doctor about having genetic counseling and testing. This may help show you if you have a high risk for endometrial cancer.
I have used tamoxifen.
Tamoxifen is a drug that is used to treat women with breast cancer. If you have taken tamoxifen for five years or more, you have a higher risk of developing endometrial cancer. If you have used tamoxifen for treating or preventing breast cancer, tell your doctor right away if you have any unusual vaginal bleeding.
I use estrogen replacement therapy.
If you take the hormone estrogen alone to help deal with the effects of menopause, your chance of getting endometrial cancer is increased. If you need estrogen replacement therapy, discuss using a combination of estrogen and progesterone with your doctor. This combination helps protect your uterus from developing cancer. Keep in mind, though, that taking estrogen and progesterone together can increase your risk for breast cancer and blood clots. If you use hormone replacement therapy, see your doctor regularly for follow-up care.
I have been exposed to a lot of estrogen over the years.
Exposure to excess estrogen raises your risk for endometrial cancer. You could be exposed to too much estrogen for any of these reasons.
I am very overweight. Fat cells can change other hormones into estrogen. So having more fat can increase your estrogen level.
My periods started before I was age 12. If you started menstruating at an early age, your uterus has been exposed to estrogen for longer than average. The total number of years you have menstruated matters, too. If your periods started early, but you went through menopause early as well, your risk of getting endometrial cancer is not increased.
I went through menopause late. If you went through menopause late in your life, your uterus has been exposed to estrogen for longer than average. The total number of years you menstruated matters, too. If you went through menopause late, but your periods started later in your teens as well, your risk of getting endometrial cancer is not increased.
I have never been pregnant. During pregnancy, more progesterone is present. This helps protect the uterus from too much estrogen. If you've never been pregnant, than your uterus may have been exposed to higher levels of estrogen.
I have diabetes.
If you have diabetes, you have a greater risk of getting endometrial cancer. The reason for this connection is not totally known. Obesity and one kind of diabetes are linked. But even women with diabetes who are not overweight still have higher rates of endometrial cancer.
I eat a diet high in fat.
A high-fat diet increases your risk for several cancers, including endometrial cancer. Eating fatty foods is also a quick route to obesity, which is known to increase your risk for endometrial cancer.
I am older than age 50.
As you get older, your risk of getting endometrial cancer increases. Most cases of it occur after menopause.

Decentralization and the Environment
AbstractA part of the literature on fiscal federalism aver the years has dealt with environmental policy as a particular case of the supply of public goods. The centrai issue is the identification of criteria on how to allocate powers and functions aver environmental management at different levels of govemment. The main stream of literature focuses on the conditions needed to establish whether pollution standards and regulatory programs should be set and designed by centraI or rather by local governments. This paper provides a review of the debate and explores a few potential limits of the prevailing line of enquiry.

Seeing a cover band in a loud bar is one of life's little joys. It's like watching a train wreck that takes 2 or 3 hours to happen and is scored by indecipherable versions of classic songs – all of which is set to a bed of the ambient sound of drunk dudes getting shot down by drunk girls (which, by the way, sounds exactly like every Pat Benatar song, just with more slurring).
But when you've been to enough bars with live bands playing songs that would make the original artists sue everyone involved – from the band to the people drinking their sorrows away – you start to see some patterns arise. After awhile, the experience can be telegraphed to the point that, if you wanted, you could make a bullet point list of every event that will occur and check off every moment as it happens. Why these things always seem to happen is a mystery up there with the Bermuda Triangle and the popularity of CBS's primetime lineup. Perhaps it's just chance, or maybe if you plug a cover band, middle-aged drunk people, and a faux-Irish setting in to some kind of complex mathematical equation the result will equal these four things.
The Dancing Drunkards
For the first few songs the area in front of the stage will look as though someone farted and created an invisible barrier of avoidance that no mortal man or woman dare pass lest they be the first to officially declare that they have smelled it and, therefore, are the malodorous scum that dealt it.
The only people that seem to enter this forbidden zone are the ones pounding booze in amounts that could be used to disinfect the floors of an orgy that turned in to a crime scene after an argument about whose testicles those were. Even with the cautious, thoughtful stepping, the drink carrier is moving at a pace that other drink carriers consider "break neck" – and all in an attempt to avoid the dance floor at all costs.
Once all of those drinks are imbibed, and after four more sessions of cautious tip-toeing, that dance floor, that tiny 12X4 plot of real estate in front of the band, becomes occupied by a cluster of the bar's drunkest and horniest. If you were viewing this scene from a helicopter you would be forgiven for mistaking this incohesive body of movement for mitochondria looking for some sugar to synthesize. The wailing arms and gyrating hips, the closed-eye head sways and the attempted butt squeezes – all of these are hallmarks of the Dance of the Drunkards. There is no rhyme or reason for the moment. Hell, it doesn't even look like they're all dancing to the same song, as one person seems to have a Hippie spaghetti dance thing going while another is performing a combination of the Macarena and Elaine's Little Kicks from Seinfeld. But they all share one thing in common – none of them will remember this tomorrow.
The Progressive Decline In Quality
As a rule, most cover bands aren't of the highest caliber in terms of talent. There's a reason this gang of 40-somethings are playing A-Ha tunes in Dan's Pub at 2 A.M. So, from the moment a cover band takes the stage you mentally prepare yourself for perplexing version of the songs you've been hearing your entire life. At certain points throughout the show you may find yourself asking, "Hey, I didn't know Johnny Cash's 'Walk The Line' had a part in it where the drummer just kind of stopped doing his job. Is this a remix?"
Cut to 2 hours later and the band has downed so many free drinks that they could be mummified at this point, and the low quality we saw and heard earlier has vanished. In its place is what some music experts call "sound" and what others call "like the Hindenburg disaster, but with a keytar." Getting an already bad band drunk, while fun at first, is an exercise in diminishing returns, as seeing them forget what music is supposed to sound like can be an experience that leaves you feeling dirty, like trying to ask a prostitute for your money back after a terrible and lazy lay. The more you put in (alcohol) the less you get out (talent).
Taking Requests (That They Can't Play)
By the time the band has drank itself in to a musical coma, they will stop playing a song for a moment as they change guitars and set up mics and such. Inevitably, when this occurs someone will yell out a song they wish to hear, and they, for some reason, want to hear this band's rendition of the song. This person is also the one that ends up in a cop car at 6 A.M. wearing a poncho while superglued to a Doberman.
The lead singer says "You wanna hear [insert song here]?!" The crowd (particularly the person that requested the song) replies with "Ahhh" and "Bhu-Grrrrrr" and whatever else their whisky sour-soaked brains think are words. So the band, at the behest of the crowd, plays the tune. And it is awful. And no one seems to be surprised by this.
Either the awfulness was expected, like the crowd collectively decided to play a cruel joke on the band, mocking them for even thinking they could entertain this group of wannabe Roman emperors with a ridiculous Rihanna cover; or the sheer awfulness of the song will enter their ears all dissembled and muddled and their alcohol-sloshed brains will rearrange and un-muddle the song and they will hear it in the exact manner it was meant to be heard, which, to a sober ear, is an incomprehensible feat. It is only then that you realize that the likes and dislikes of a drunk are not to be trusted.
A Moment of Depression
As the show winds down and the alcohol has been thoroughly absorbed into the bloodstream, the band, specifically the lead singer, begins to become wistful for the set that is nearly over, that feels like it had only just begun, that they are too drunk to remember the beginning of. A common rule at wedding receptions is to quickly remove the microphone from the hand of the drunk person talking about how Mike and Sandy are, like, totally right for each other — as long as Sandy keeps it in her pants, the whore. This rule should also be applied to cover bands.
By the time the show ends the lead singer will mistake a simple and elegant "Thank you, good night!" for "You know, things ain't been too hot for the members of Hot Rod Sally. Yep, one might say our lives are kinda in the shitter." It isn't always that blatantly morose, of course, but there's always a hint of sadness wedged in-between their last few happy tunes. If you're not so drunk that you're face down in a urinal puking up food you're sure you didn't eat, then this is the moment of the show to pay the most attention to. This is the moment where the inherent sadness about not "making it" comes to the forefront.
It could be something as simple as, "It's been great playing for you guys tonight…even though most of you won't remember us…" or it can be as obvious as "My wife left me, and – uh, things have been…lonely for me. Anyway, who here's a fan of Kajagoogoo? Anyone? Anyone?"
As they wrap up their set and load their equipment back in to the van, this is the best time to take advantage of last call and just start pounding the drinks, because only alcohol will thoroughly drown the sorrows that the band has transferred over to you. It's also around this time that heading over to a late night karaoke bar seems like a really good idea, assuming they have enough of those morose Morrissey songs on hand so that you may wallow in another band's depression.

Inspired by his relationship with a Kwaxkwaka'wakw elder, the filmmaker embarks upon a cinematic journey to an ancient rainforest on the Pacific Coast of Canada. Guided by passion and a determination to honour reality, Boyce travels to the most remote corner of Vancouver Island, through some of the most intensive logging on the planet, into a wilderness that is on the brink of extinction. Massive trees thrive along the banks of an ancient river floodplain providing for diverse like forms in the temperate rainforest. This film is an evocative journey, contrasting forestry as practised for ten thousand years by First Nations people with modern logging.

Airports around the country were slammed on Wednesday with travelers on their way to see family and friends.
For most of them, the vacation came to an end Sunday. Traveling during the holidays is tough, and things don't always run smoothly.
"Columbus was packed this morning," says Barbara Price. "We had to get up at 3 a.m. to get to the airport from Newark. And, long lines, but we got out on time."
At Reno-Tahoe International Airport, employees are working overtime to make sure there are no hiccups during the week.
"We really work together closely with the airlines and with the Transportation Security Administration and also with our food and beverage retail," says Heidi Jared, spokesperson for the airport.
Some nasty weather can turn a family trip into a nightmare pretty quickly, but thankfully, we had some beautiful weather around most of the country.
"Today, there was just one delay so far with the San Francisco bay area," says Jared.
Folks flying back to Reno say with any flight, whether it's over the holidays or not, you just have to pack your patience.
"When you get on the plane and you have all these kids in various humors," says Charles Price. "It becomes interesting."
Being on a plane with a screaming child isn't a whole lot of fun, but some kids are a breeze to travel with.
"He doesn't say a word usually and takes it easy on us because he knows we're kind of lightweights, so he wants to make sure we're ok," says Stephen Eisenmann, talking about his 1-year-old son.
The Eisenmann family travels a lot. So, they know what to expect at airports this time of year.
"We have all of our liquids and gels in a bag already before we get there," says Kathleen Eisenmann. "I'm a planner so we're always ready ahead of time."
The airports will be slammed again in a few weeks for Christmas. So, if you're traveling next month, take a deep breath and be prepared for just about anything.
"You mentally gear up for it," says Barbara Price. "You have a good book."

Ah, but making its debut at #4 is Voice winner Cassadee Pope's "Stupid Boy," bumping The Band Perry's "Better Dig Town" down to #5. Also making an impressive entrance is RaeLynn, whose tune "Boyfriend" clocks in at #32. She's also a contestant from the show where people swivel on chairs. On the rise are Kip Moore's "Beer Money" (#9 to #7) and Eric Church's fourth single from Chief, "Creepin'," which manages a best-of #10. That's after 26 weeks of release.

It's a repeat winter forecast: Taylor Swift is #1 with Red (for the eighth week in a row) while Christmas collections continue to decorate the top 5 like so much tinsel. An exception is the soundtrack to ABC's musical soap Nashville, which debuts at #4, and Little Big Town's Tornado, which blows back into the top 5 from #7. Florida Georgia Line's studio debut, Here's to the Good Times, experienced a long fall from #3 to #9. Not to say I told you so, but I sort of predicted that last week.

Josh Ellis Defends Cowboys Fans
With the rise of BTB I find myself visiting the mother ship less and less. I still visit the site at least once a day but I don't spend anywhere near as much time there as I used to. Well, yesterday my brother (Ol Nasty) told me about a story Josh Ellis had written that he highly recommended. We all know about the "delusional" fan base thing that Colin Cowherd did the other day. Well, Josh Ellis decided to defend us. And I for one really appreciate that. Thank you Mr. Ellis.

The Association of Medical Directors of Information Systems (AMDIS) Fall Symposium in Boston will be getting "back to basics" by looking at the role innovation in health IT should play in the relationship between patient and provider.
In the wake of the Community Health Systems (CHS) disclosure that hackers breached its computer system and accessed personal but not health data it held on 4.3 million people, a representative of the Federal Bureau of Investigations (FBI) joined the monthly Health Information Trust Alliance (HITRUST) cyber threat information call to discuss work being done to build a better public-private partnership on cyber threats facing the healthcare industry.
As healthcare systems implement EHR systems with patient portals for sharing test results and other health information in order to comply with Meaningful Use requirements, many have expressed concern that patients may be unable to comprehend their test results outside of a physician consult. A new study by University of Michigan researchers indicates that these critics may be right.
In June Michael Hunt, DO, CMO/CMIO at St. Vincent's Health Partner's in Bridgeport, Conn., was selected as one of two recipients of the 2014 Association of Medical Directors of Information Systems (AMDIS) Award for excellence and outstanding achievement in applied medical informatics.
In a filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission, Community Health Systems (CHS), the nation's leading for-profit publicly-traded operator of general acute-care hospitals, disclosed that this spring, a group likely originating in China was able to bypass its computer security measures and copy non-medical information on approximately 4.5 million individuals either treated at or referred to one of its facilities in the past five years.

Editor's Note: The following FanPost was written by a member of the Silver Seven community, and does not necessarily reflect the beliefs or opinions of the site managers, editors, or Sports Blogs Nation, Inc.
We all love our team and many of us have opinions and ideas on how to change the Sens for the better. I'm interested in those ideas. Don't be constrained by things like salary cap and budget, we're just brainstorming here. It doesn't have to be on ice changes like "I'd bring in a power winger, a top six forward type" (but of course, it can be). It could be something incredibly functional like, "I would improve OCTranspo service to Scotiabank Place". Anything should be brought up and discussed in detail!
I have already posted about my interest in a Sens museum/arena tour and the next big change I would make would be to the uniforms. I want to bring back the original white jerseys. I feel like the sideways centurion logo is still the most recognizable Sens logo and that many fans feel that logo/design was classic. I still associate that jersey with the best moments of the franchise (Alfie's overtime winner against Buffalo to send us to the Cup Finals). Also, I think the current whites are fairly generic and the lines are too similar to Pittsburgh. I would love the heritage jersey to be a permanent feature of the Sens' look. I think they did a great job with the design (the nod to the past, modern updates, font choice) and I want to see them wear it in more games. However, I don't want the Sens to get rid of the red by any means. We may have come into the league wearing white and black but it is red I associate with this team's success. I don't have strong feelings about our current red jerseys nor did I really have strong feelings about the previous red. The previous red was somewhat silly (the stripes) but was distinct. I love the red because it's highly visible and I love when the Bank is a sea of red. But given the success of the heritage jersey, I would try a red jersey update. I would keep the forward facing logo (either design, like aspects of both) and add in other elements like horizontal stripes (personal bias, love horizontal stripes). I feel like bringing back the original whites, making the heritage jersey permanent and more visible, and updating the reds ensures not only that we have a great look, but that our past and present is connected visually.
What do you think? What changes would you make to the Sens organization to make our club better than ever?
