Associated Press
JERUSALEM — When Margaux Stelman began modeling a few months ago, she always had her sister Simone in mind.
Simone was an ex-model who died three years ago after a long battle with anorexia, a common affliction of models trying to look thinner and thinner — and girls trying to look like them.
Now, thanks to a new Israeli law that prohibits the employment of underweight fashion models, Stelman says she feels protected from the traditional pressures of an industry notorious for encouraging extremes in thinness. The law sets weight minimums with the aim of discouraging anorexia and bulimia, eating disorders that affect mostly young women, who go on extreme diets and are unable to eat normally.
"This disease is something that's very close to me," the 21-year-old university student from Belgium said at a recent photo shoot, the country's first since the law took effect last week. "Doing the exact opposite, showing girls that (they) can be healthy and be a model anyway, it's really something I want to show."
The Israeli law, passed by parliament last year, is the first of its kind. The United States and England have guidelines, but their fashion industry is self-regulated. Other governments have taken steps to prevent "size zero" medical problems but have shied away from legislation.
Israel, like other countries, is obsessed by models. International supermodel Bar Refaeli is considered a national hero. Refaeli, an Israeli who has graced the cover of the Sports Illustrated swimsuit edition, among others, is not unnaturally thin.

Posted November 02, 2012 on AP on Fox
To no one's surprise, Miami coach Al Golden wants to see the Hurricanes in a bowl game this season. It's still unclear if he will get that chance. The university remained silent Sunday about whether Miami would self-impose a second straight postseason ban, which would be done in response to the ongoing NCAA investigation into the Hurricanes' compliance practices. Golden said he spoke briefly Sunday with acting Miami athletic director Blake James, but was not told of any final decision. ''It's just difficult,'' Golden said of the waiting game. ''It really is. It's difficult and unwieldy.'' Golden said he's always talking to his players about focusing on the things they can control and following a process. ''This is the antithesis of that,'' he said. ''This is kind of a curveball.'' Miami (6-5) became bowl-eligible on Saturday with a 40-9 win over South Florida. And the Hurricanes might not b...

Clean Energy: What is it?
Clean energy is a term used to describe a type of sustainable energy which does not emit pollution. These types of power sources are an alternative to common sources which come from non-renewable materials which create pollution. The term is a broad one which covers many types of energy used to reduce the environmental carbon footprint energy consumption has on the earth. With an increasing world population and demand for power sources, clean energy serves as a way to keep humans from destroying the planet with pollution and depleting all of our resources.
The Problem with Coal, Gas, and Oil
Coal, gas, and oil are our biggest sources of energy to date; these are carbon and hydrogen based elements. When we burn these sources to create power we are creating a chemical reaction which puts off heat (the power) and carbon dioxide. The byproduct of this process has been known to cause acid rain, sulfur oxide emissions, hazardous waste and is often linked to ozone depletion and global warming. Even the process of acquiring these materials is hazardous to the safety of the worker mining for them as they carry a high potential for disaster - a recent example is the BP spill which killed workers, sea creatures, habitats, and led to the demise of many businesses in the Gulf Coast – learn more about the aftermath of the spill on Time.com.
Different Kinds of Clean Energy
Solar Power
One of the most commonly discussed and used types of alternative energy is solar power – this is a process which involves converting sunlight into energy. Solar energy is collected through photovoltaic panels – which convert sunbeams into electricity using the photoelectric process, or concentrated solar power systems (CPS) - which use mirrors and tracking systems to direct a large amount of sunrays into a very tiny beam.
Capturing energy through the use of water systems is known as hydropower. This type of clean energy is generated through the use of water turbines or water mills. Commonly, the water source is natural and ran through a dam. The most famous source of hydroelectricity is the Hoover Dam which powers about a quarter of Nevada and large amounts of areas in California.
Ocean Energy
Also known as wave or tidal power, this form of energy is a specific type of hydropower which converts the energy of waves and tildes into electricity.
Wind Power
Simply put, wind power is wind generated power through the use of wind turbines. Power collected this way is converted into electricity, mechanical power, pumps, and directional power.
Geothermal Power
This type of energy is generated through the use of dry steam power plants, binary cycle power plants, and flash steam power plants. Geothermal power is used in 24 countries and geothermal heating is used in 70 countries in the world.
Living and recently living organisms generate materials known as biological materials which are used as biomass. This renewable source of energy is used in energy products such as biofuels. Direct combustion of this material is used to make energy through the use of steam turbines and gasifiers.
Have you used any of these types of "clean energy" or is there a process that I left out?

A serial offender who targets elderly women blames synthetic cannabis for the sex attack on an 87-year-old Hastings woman.
He said he was standing 100 metres away when he picked out the Hastings woman.
He would later blame the synthetic drugs for his crimes, court documents reveal.
By 10.30am on November 7, 2013, Hugh Hemi Tuatua Tareha, 30, had already been drinking alcohol and smoking synthetic cannabis.
The day before, at a parole board hearing to monitor his progress six months after being released from prison, Tareha was warned that the intoxicating substances ban that was a condition of his parole included synthetic cannabis.
Using it the next day made him "fidgety" and at 12.45pm he chose his victim.
He saw her walk to her letterbox and as she stooped to pick weeds from the garden he grabbed her backside and gripped her as she tried to flee inside.
Following his guilty pleas this week the High Court released a prosecution summary of Tareha's crimes, which said the woman was not raped but was forcefully violated on the floor of her home.
Her physical reaction to the assault stopped Tareha, and he called her "an egg".
Her hips were severely bruised when he kicked her repeatedly before leaving her house. Her neck and arms were also heavily bruised in the attack.
Then she went to bed and waited several hours for her son to come home.
The same day a 73-year-old woman had a lucky escape.
She was sweeping the porch of her home when Tareha made up a story about wanting to use her phone because his car had broken down.
She let him into her house, and when he handed the phone back to her, he complimented her "nice hands" and asked if she would like a "kiss and a cuddle".
She told him her husband was due home and he should leave. As he passed he deliberately brushed her breast with his arm.
Tareha eventually admitted the first attack, and said the synthetic cannabis had made him act that way.
At the time Tareha was on parole after robbing a 68-year-old woman of small change during the course of a burglary, for which he was sentenced to three years and nine months jail in February 2011.
A theme of his parole hearings was the help he needed for what was called a schizoaffective disorder.
"The importance of managing his medication and keeping away from illicit substances and alcohol was emphasised," the board said.
He was approved for release from July 22 last year, when the board decided that his risk to the community could be adequately managed with parole conditions.
Tareha went to a progress monitoring hearing in November, where the board said that apart from "what looks as if it was an innocent smoking of a synthetic drug" he had complied well with his parole conditions.
To make the banning of synthetic drugs clear, it changed the wording of his conditions by adding "synthetic substances" to the alcohol and illegal drugs ban.
The next day he broke that condition with tragic results.
The Corrections Department, whose officers monitored Tareha's compliance with parole conditions, would not comment.
But it will provide information to the judge who is to sentence Tareha in the High Court at Napier in September.
The Crown wants Tareha jailed indefinitely.

I matched them wrong and also didn't understand flat felled seams conceptually. But ripped it out and now the second time is the charm. It's going to my Aunt as a gift.

So Verizon cannot charge for tethering on 4G service, this raises the question of whether they can continue to charge for tethering on 3G or 1x?
Your answer lies in those "narrow exceptions".
Its a regulation on the bandwidth block used for 4g. not the range for 3g. different frequencies, different rules.

Either that or start supporting the content creators and then demand better quality, of course.

Blood Assurance, the non-profit regional blood center, is in critical need of type O negative blood, said officials. Currently level 1 trauma centers are using 20 percent more O negative blood than last year. Typically, 275 units of O negative type blood are sent weekly to area hospitals, but the demand has surpassed the number of donations by 18 percent in the last two months.
To meet the need of local hospitals, over 440 blood donors are needed every day. Blood Assurance serves 70 healthcare facilities in a 47 county region. Patients in these area hospitals depend on Blood Assurance's volunteer donors for life-saving blood and blood components. One donation can save three lives.
To be eligible to donate blood, donors must be at least 17 years old (16 years old with parental consent), weigh 110 pounds or more and be in good health. The process usually takes about 30 minutes and includes a complimentary snack and T-shirt. Donors are asked to drink plenty of fluids - avoiding caffeine - and eat a meal that is rich in iron prior to donating.

Winnipeg Free Press - PRINT EDITION
Artist market on way to Main
Space to include photo studio, coffee bar
Another piece of the Main Street revitalization puzzle will fall into place with the expected opening this fall of an new artist market just a stone's throw north of city hall.
The Compendium Artist Market is a new venture by Ryan Poworoznik, a local graphic designer/artist/photographer who is converting a 2,400-square-foot building at 5641/2 Main St. into an arts-themed, mixed-use space that will include an art gallery, a craft market, a photography studio and an organic coffee/juice bar.
The building, which is on the northwest corner of Main and Rupert Avenue, has been vacant since 2005, when Siloam Mission moved out and sold it to Winnipegger Glennys Hardie.
Hardie and her husband, Les Johnson, also own the small building next door at 560 Main St. and operate two of their companies -- Simpson McGrath Inc. and Manitoba Institute of Management Inc., out of there.
Hardie is also an artist, so that makes the pending opening of the Compendium Artist Market extra special for her.
"I'm absolutely thrilled that Ryan is doing what he's doing in there," she said in an interview.
"I think he is going to do well... and I think he's going to fill a niche in the market. There aren't a lot of places for emerging artists to show their work."
CentreVenture Development Corp., the city-owned downtown development agency that has spearheaded the Main Street revitalization efforts in recent years, is also pleased to see a tenant moving into one of the last vacant buildings on the strip of Main Street between William and Higgins avenues.
"It's also very important... in that it's a project that is totally grassroots, with no public-sector involvement," said Loretta Martin, the agency's director of development. "The public sector invested in some strategic properties (on Main Street) and now the private sector is coming to the table. That's been the experience in most North American cities with their revitalization efforts."
Martin noted a new office building under construction on the west side of Main Street just north of Higgins Avenue is also a private-sector project.
Hardie said she had contemplated converting the building into an artist's studio for herself.
"But then Ryan came along so we decided to rent it to him."
The interior of the building had been stripped down to the bare walls, so Poworoznik has a free hand in developing it the way he wanted. That includes installing all new mechanical systems, new framing and insulation, a wooden floor and ceiling, bathrooms, an office and a separate room for the photography studio.
"I... liked that the space I chose didn't have to be deconstructed to create the look I wanted," he said. "Instead, I had an empty slate to work with, which also allows me to make it more eco-friendly and energy-efficient than trying to work around a space that's already been started."
The only drawbacks are renovations are proving to be time-consuming and costly, he added.
Poworoznik said he plans to open the art gallery, craft market and photography studio at the same time, and add the coffee/juice bar later when he has the funds to purchase the necessary equipment.
He wanted to make it a multi-faceted space to generate more revenue and make the venture economically feasible.
The photography studio will be rentable by the hour, the craft-market tables will be rentable by the day, and the space on the art gallery walls can be rented by the week based on linear footage.
In addition to the regular offerings, Poworoznik also plans to hold a variety of other events and activities in the space, including film screening.
"Film screenings will include local work, as well as documentaries on social issues and popular/classic movies to promote and provide inspiration for themed art shows," he said.
"We're also hoping to have one fashion show a month, either featuring local designers or local boutiques and what they have to offer. Other events we will hold are pop-up dinners, intimate musical concerts, theatrical shows, business meetings, lectures, meditation and yoga classes, as well as weddings events. We're open to anything."
Poworoznik originally looked at several sites in the Exchange District because there are a number of other art galleries and graphic-design studios in the area.
"But there are many other requirements that I had, which made that impossible. The space had to be fairly large, and it had to be on street level. I looked at a few other locations... but nothing fit that criteria."
Poworoznik also likes the idea of doing something he hopes will help make Winnipeg a better place.
"Obviously, downtown and Main Street fall under that umbrella, but I'm just excited to bring something new to Winnipeg that's missing. If this business takes off and does well, I'm hoping to create many more businesses in Winnipeg. I'm also looking forward to working with various local entrepreneurs and offering my help to anyone thinking about opening a business in the city."

Back in the days of Bill Clinton's first campaign for presidency of the U.S. of A. his people posted a sign at headquarters to humourously focus their own attention on the fundamental campaign issue: "It's the economy, stupid." This became the unofficial slogan for the campaign.The turnout of the Belizean people on Tuesday 18th November at the National Assembly in Belmopan, to support Prime Minister Dean Barrow and his Government's spending of the Petrocaribe money, which has provided a range of benefits to people across the entire country, was massive – despite grey skies and rain. This money has been very transparently and very publicly used to build roads, streets, drains, public buildings and facilities in different locations across the country. It has created jobs, putting money directly in people's pockets and driving down crime. It has been used to provide social assistance to those in need. In the motion before the National Assembly the Prime Minister produced a highly detailed accounting of how every dollar was spent!The contrast with the spending by the Said Musa Government in 2008 of the Venezuela money could not be sharper. That Government took ten million US dollars gifted to the people of Belize by Venezuela and gave it away, purely for the private benefit of their cronies. They concealed this action from the people. They never accounted for it.Focus on the Petrocaribe money was drawn by Mr. Julius Espat, the aspiring Opposition leader. He launched media presentations and a court case to challenge the spending of this money. In direct response Prime Minister Barrow stepped up to meet the challenge by bringing the matter before the National Assembly for the Assembly to give specific approval to using the money for the projects and programmes for which it has been used. That approval was formally given at Tuesday's stirring meeting of the National Assembly.Again, there is sharp contrast with how Mr. Espat's party handled a comparable situation. In 2007 his party introduced a motion in the National Assembly to approve a resolution to pay the debts for the failed private Universal Health Services Hospital, that the Musa Government had guaranteed for their cronies. A massive public protest at the National Assembly building almost brought down that government and the motion was abandoned.The massive support by the Belizean people of the Barrow Government's use of the Petrocaribe funds has provided the governing party with an ideal launch of its campaign for country wide municipal elections, due in March 2015. The governing party must thank Mr. Espat for creating an issue where there was none. And visitors to his campaign headquarters should look to see the sign he should put up: "Petrocaribe is the people's money, stupid."

"I wanted a simple card that would highlight the photo I chose. This one is perfect. I chose the rounded edges rather than the one displayed. Tiny prints comes through again!"
"I loved the quality of the cards, this is my second order, and will be placing another for my daughter's graduation invitations. The service is quick and fast and the pictures come as clear as submitted. I just love this company. I will recommend them to all my family and friends."
"We were very happy with our order!! The quality of the card was fantastic!! The website is easy to use, there are a lot of choices in each category, the layout choices are good."
"I chose Tiny Prints because of their user friendly website, a variety of layout choices, and excellent reputation. I was not disappointed in my choice. The cards arrived quickly and the paper quality is excellent."
"This was such a lovely card! This year our family decided to send a new years card instead of a Christmas one. I'm so glad we did - we received lots of compliments - the faux glitter effect was fun and I loved being able to choose between different accent colors (Black or red). The card is a great weight, as are the envelopes. They arrived quickly - I couldn't be happier."

We had a short (one night) visit to Portland over the weekend. We usually stay with friends, but this time we stayed at the RiverPlace hotel on the Willamette River as our friends were out of town, plus we were there for such a short time.
The RiverPlace was a very nice place to stay. The people who worked there were all very friendly and accommodating. We had registered on the internet and had the chance to put in for an upgrade if one became available. We arrived early (around 1 pm) and were upgraded, for $10, to a "junior suite" with a nice view to the north and west. The north view included the river and Mt. St. Helens in the distance. At night we could see the lovely colored lights on the bridges. The hotel was very tastefully decorated - aimed for a "calm" feeling in the midst of the city.
In the morning, I got to do complimentary yoga on their courtyard overlooking the river (offered on Sat and Sun morning). That was a treat! The location is great. We walked across the Hawthorne Bridge past the OMSI (science museum) to the boat that we were cruising on (Friends had rented it for an anniversary celebration). Lots of people were bicycling and walking around the waterfront. If we'd had time, we could have walked through the watefront park to the Saturday market. The area around the hotel includes a marina and some restaurants and a few shops, plus the waterfront park. The downtown is a little ways off, but one could walk it or take a bus. We were really pleased with our choice -wish we'd had more time.
I was reminded of how great Portland was on our visit - so well planned with lovely parks, water features. I was also reminded, talking to our friends, of why we moved away, which was for DH's work. Oregon has a major problem with unemployment. It has always been a very poor state and the recession has hit very hard. Seattle is also nice (where we live), but I wish Seattle had more public parks along the waterfront. Years ago, Portland actually moved a freeway along the west bank of the Willamette River to make room for public space. Portland is a very liveable, lovely city. I miss it!

Glad you enjoyed your stay at Riverplace! We stayed there for 4 nights this year in a riverview suite. We were in Portland this past Sat. and enjoyed a fantastic meal at Meriwether's. This was our second time there. ***kim***

Fun Things to Do Before the World Ends on December 21
By Nairita Mukherjee | posted Dec 20th 2012 at 4:56PM
Nostradamus said it, and so did the Mayans. And apparently, it's inevitable; we cannot really do anything to stop it. So if you do believe in such catastrophic prophesies about the doomsday, make sure your to-do list is ticked. Here are a few fun things you should do before the Apocalypse.

Veteran NHLer Arnott retires
Nov 5, 2013, 2:15 PM EST
Jason Arnott announced his retirement on Tuesday, via a release from the National Hockey League Players' Association.
"I would like to thank everyone who helped me throughout my NHL career, including my family, friends, teammates and fans. Playing in the NHL was my dream, and I am very proud and appreciative of the fact I was able to play at the highest level for 19 years, with the best players in the world," said Arnott. "Each of the teams I played for provided me with great experiences and memories, and our Stanley Cup team in New Jersey certainly stands out among all of them."
An 18-year veteran that scored over 400 career goals, Arnott played for the Oilers, Stars, Predators, Capitals and Blues during his time in the league — but, as he alluded to, Arnott's finest moment came as a member of the Devils during the 2000 Cup Final:
The seventh overall pick at the 1993 NHL Entry Draft, Arnott was named to the league's All-Rookie team in '94 and proceeded to play in a pair of All-Star Games (1997, 2008).
Last year, Arnott had a deal in place to join the New York Rangers, only to see it scuttled after he failed a team physical. After the nixed deal with the Rangers, reports surfaced that the Blues were interested in bringing Arnott back, but GM Doug Armstrong shot down the idea in mid-March.

How did Kuo look last night? I couldn't stay awake for the extra 10 minutes it would have taken me to see him pitch. From the box score, it looks like he was on, but that doesn't tell me how his control was in general.
Hard to say, some positive and some negative.
Biggest positive : his arm is still clearly attached to his shoulder!!
From a camera view his pitch seem noticeably faster than anyone else in the game, you could even say that it looked explosive. though the guns yesterday was a mess, the Miles gun shown on the screen seem to be at least 3-4 miles slower than what the local announcer keep reading, if we believe the former he was pitching around 86-88 mph, the later however keep saying that he's pitching around 146 and up to 149 kMph, which is about 91 to 94. which seems more consistent with the reports from the warmup games over the last couple week.
He did also throw at least one nice hook.
Control seem spotty, though it's not like he was really a control / command guy to begin with.
Hopefully we'll get to see him a few more times at least this tournament. so far so good at lest. the fact that he can actually pitch a inning without being sent to the hospital is probably already something of a minor miracle (see Chris Snelling in this game.)
What's the ratio of Carribbeans to Hollanders on the Dutch team?
Per Wikipedia I've got
Curacao 9
Netherlands 7
Aruba 2
Netherlands Antilles 2
Canada 1
EDIT: Plus 7 unknowns...(I'm sure SOMEONE knows where they're from, I'm just too lazy to look them up)
Though to guess by name -
Kevin Heijstek (Europe)
Joanthan Isenia (Carribean)
Mark Pawelek (Poland?)
Orlando Yntema (Carribean)
Bas Nooij (Europe)
Dashenko Ricardo (Carribean)
Quintin de Cuba (Carribean)
Pawelek is a former 1st rd pick from Utah317. Gamingboy Posted: March 02, 2013 at 02:48 PM (#4379196)
Ricardo is from the NA.
Leon Boyd, one of the few honest-to-goodness passport players on the Netherlands, is the son of a Canadian Hockey player who met his wife while playing in Holland, if memory serves.318. Joyful Calculus Instructor Posted: March 02, 2013 at 02:51 PM (#4379198)
Also, I submitted the Day 2 Omnichatter, hopefully it'll be up later.
Wow, Korea going down really changes the outlook of bracket B. That was the bracket that looked like it had a good chance of a 1-3 team advancing, and that it would mainly be a show of which lower tier team could beat the other two lower tier teams. Now it's chaos. (Looking really bad for Australia, though)319. Gamingboy Posted: March 02, 2013 at 04:16 PM (#4379228)
The day 2 omnichatter isn't up that, and that makes me sad.320. Joyful Calculus Instructor Posted: March 02, 2013 at 04:59 PM (#4379244)
By the way, David Hernandez has replaced Chris Perez on the USA roster. There was some initial controversy because it was thought he was going to be on Team Mexico, but it turns out that he hadn't been able to provide the proper documentation to Mexico, so he wasn't going to play for them and was, well, a WBC free agent.
Have to say, looking at his stats, I did not realize he did that well last year.
What makes me more sad than day 2 omnichatter not being up is that if you go to the front page of espn.com, there is no evidence that the WBC exists. Heck, they have a soccer scoreboard up that isn't even MLS, but no WBC. It's almost like a media blackout.321. Gamingboy Posted: March 02, 2013 at 05:19 PM (#4379250)

Interestingly, that can't be said for the ESPN Deportes website, where, while not front and center, it is certainly there and could be front and center later on when the games themselves are going on.
This seems to be a mix of "Most of the players in these games aren't MLB" and "Sour grapes because MLB decided to bring the WBC in-house". I can guarantee you that once Team USA, DR, PR, etc. start playing that it will be getting more attention simply because of the names involved, or if Barry Larkin (who WORKS FOR ESPN) pulls off an upset.
The fact is is that ESPN, with the exception of the super-duper big events (Super Bowl, Olympics, World Series, etc.), will always prioritize the content they own the rights to before that which they don't. This is especially true with events that are happening during ESPN broadcasts of stuff. Like, if this was a slow Monday with no major NCAA basketball going on, it might be on the front of the English ESPN, but right in the middle of a NCAA-packed saturday, it probably won't until the MLB players arrive in large numbers.

If you go to ESPN's MLB page, there is quite a bit of WBC material. Might have to be using the Desktop version of the site since the Tablet version is usually somewhat abbreviated.
The guy currently pitching for Brazil seems to be beer league quality.
