Teen Smoking Slashes Lifespan—Even for Quitters
Being a teenaged smoker increases your chances of an early death from heart disease years later—even if you quit before you're middle-aged, shows a new study. It analyzed data from 28,000 men who went to Harvard between 1916 and 1950, then took follow-up surveys in later decades. Those who reported early smoking were twice as likely to die prematurely as those who never smoked. But those who smoked young, then quit remained at 29% higher risk than those who never started. Still, quitting is worthwhile. "The risks are cumulative," says David Batty, who worked on the study at University College London. "If you smoke across a life course, you're at much higher risk than if you just smoked around the college years. The positive message is, it's never too late to stop." Dr. Michael Siegel, a tobacco control researcher, agrees: "For people who did quit smoking during the follow-up period, their risk of death dropped greatly. It doesn't quite go back to [non-smokers' risk], but it is significantly less." He says that only around 3% of smokers quit every year.
New Yorkers Can Now Booze at the Gym
Too tired to walk down the block to the nearest bar after your workout? You may no longer have to make the trek, thanks to several New York gyms now offering clientele the option of topping off their workout with something higher proof than the traditional sports drink. Thirsty gym rats can now join in a low-calorie vodka tasting at David Barton Gyms, or sip wine at the women-centric Uplift Studio in the Flatiron District; yoga buffs who also like to party can win a drink ticket to the Stonewall Bar after a session at Yoga for the Average Joe. And more gyms are hopping on the boozy band wagon. Green Fitness Studio in Bushwick, which has hosted raging parties on their rooftop patio, applied for a liquor license last month. Alcohol isn't generally recommended as part of an athlete's post-workout diet; booze can stunt hydration, damage muscle growth by inhibiting the release of human growth hormone (HGH), prolong feelings of soreness, and supply the body empty calories to offset potential fat-burning. However, experts are divided on the subject: CNN's Dr. Sanjay Gupta, say that moderate drinking can boost heart health (and liver health, too) while others have claimed that any physical health benefits are outweighed by the risks.
But owners of these gyms say they aren't offering up beer, wine and liquor because of health benefits—but rather to boost morale and (literally) keep the spirits high. Leanne Shear, one owner of the female-centric Uplift gym, tells The Fix that her program is based off of studies that showed that "being physically active and socially engaged" made for "strong, healthy and happy women." She advocates consuming in moderation, and says in addition to alcohol, her gyms offer "tons of water, healthy snacks, and non-alcoholic beverage options."

Porn-Addicted Pastor Shares His Past
Former pastor Dr. T. C. Ryan's struggle with pornography began as a young teen, when he discovered his mother's lingerie magazines, and continued for over 40 years. He's now authored a candid memoir, Ashamed No More. "I stumbled unknowingly into compulsive sexual behavior in my adolescence," he tells The Fix. "Sexual interest and exploration are part of normal human development, but for me the stimulation of arousal and gratification became my essential method of coping with my life." As a married man, and a pastor for 20 years in Kansas City, he lived a double life, consumed with guilt which in turn fed his compulsive cycle. Technology escalated his behavior. "When I stumbled into Internet pornography, I hated myself," he says. "I promised God that I would never do this again, and I meant it. I honestly thought, 'That's it, I'm done. I've turned the corner.' So the next time, the shame was even greater." Ryan says that sexual addictions—particularly to online porn—are very common among pastors because of the nature of ministry. Hearing people's darkest secrets all day long is emotionally draining, he explains. So many pastors get burned out and seek escape and relief. Internet pornography is always accessible, and—unlike addictions to drugs, alcohol, or food—there are no externally visible consequences of using, so it's easy to hide.
"Sexual issues are only symptoms of deeper issues," says Ryan. "Sexual brokenness is an indicator that there is some disconnect in the way I see myself and the way I interact with others. At the heart of it, sexually compulsive behavior indicates an attachment disorder; we have fundamental core beliefs that are flawed and need to be identified and reworked and thinking patterns that need to be redeveloped." Ryan stepped down as a senior pastor to focus on his recovery, although he still preaches about his experiences: "My experience of freedom from the compulsive behaviors came after a confluence of several factors, including a particular therapy, the death of my mother and me leaving ministry." He and his wife hope that telling his story will encourage others to get help. "I hope that from my journey people might learn that we are all sexual beings, and that is good; that in our society we use sexuality to market and to entertain, but for a lot of us we don't learn how to use our sexuality in healthy, self-integrated ways," he says. "No matter how we might get confused or messed up about sex, there is help, there is a way forward to healthy sexual living. We need the truth, we need each other, and occasionally we need professional help." He adds, "Don't be afraid of the journey to recovery. Don't hold back. It will take everything out of you—which it must if it's going to work—and will give back to you a different and a better life."
Sir Richard Branson: US Drug Policy Is Racist
Sir Richard Branson is the latest celebrity to blast US drug policy, calling the war on drugs a "war on black people." The billionaire Virgin Group founder and member of the Global Commission on Drug Policy (a body of leading figures and politicians campaigning for more effective drugs laws) has called US drug policy racist, as evidenced by the high percentage of African Americans in prisons. "The fundamental difference in America, is that it is a war against black people in America," says Branson. "85% of people who go to prison for drug use in America are black people. They don't take more drugs, but it's a racist law against black people in America." The British business magnate cites Portugal, which decriminalized drug use but still prosecutes traffickers and dealers, as a superior model of effective and fair drug policy. He also urges the US government to treat addiction as an illness, emphasizing treatment and education over criminalizing addicts and drug users. "You've got something like 1.5 million people in American jails languishing for taking drugs and that is wrong," he says. "Those people would be much better being out in society, being helped if they have drug problem, getting off the problem."

Santa Clara, CA (Sports Network) - Marc Trasolini scored a game-high 23 points as the Santa Clara Broncos made easy work of the Wagner Seahawks, 69-45, in the championship game of the Cable Car Classic at the Leavey Center.
Trasolini shot 8-of-13 from the floor and scored more than 20 points for the third straight game. Evan Roquemore added 16 points and 10 rebounds for Santa Clara (11-2), while Brandon Clark came off the bench to tally 13 points.
For Wagner (5-5), Marcus Burton was the only player to score in double figures with 10 points.
Santa Clara went into intermission with a 33-19 lead behind a 41.9 percent field goal shooting. Wagner struggled mightily in the opening 20 minutes, going just 7-of-29 (.241).
The Broncos kept their double-digit advantage throughout the second half.

Jesse Ryder has already talked game plans with opening partner Martin Guptill and hopes to light up Eden Park in his one-day international comeback on Boxing Day.
The gifted left-hander will don the black helmet for the first time in 22 months, after being recalled for Thursday's ODI series opener against West Indies in Auckland.
And it will be alongside one of his best mates in the team, Guptill, who also makes his return from finger and ankle injuries that ruled him out of the Bangladesh and Sri Lanka tours.
"Guppy and I have had a chat since the team's been named and we're stoked to be back opening together and hopefully we can light it up on Boxing Day," Ryder said.
News of Ryder's off-field struggles have dominated much of the past two years, since he played the last of his 39 ODIs against South Africa in Napier in February 2012.
Having bounced back from a serious assault in Christchurch in March, then hit form with his new team Otago, Ryder still felt surprised to get the call from selector Bruce Edgar earlier in the week.
"It's just exciting. I've put in a lot of hard yards this summer; scoring runs and being consistent and working hard off the park and it's paid off for me."
This time last year Ryder was hitting domestic bowlers all over the park on return from a cricketing hiatus, guiding Wellington to the Twenty20 final and leading them to Plunket Shield victories.
But he was unavailable for New Zealand as he addressed off-field issues and put his success down to simply batting and not caring about the consequences.
Then the assault happened and turned his life upside down, leaving his career in limbo.
A year on, and with his new team Otago, and he's been focused on returning to the Black Caps since his comeback century against Wellington in October.
The pressure sat well with the 29-year-old, who averages 34 in ODI cricket, and he scored a century and two 80s from his last five first-class innings.
"It's probably been a lot better for me. I've knuckled down and tried to build a plan around batting and I've been taking my time and batting properly and not having the no-care factor and just playing my shots. It's been good to be patient and build an innings."
Being consistent and losing weight provided his big focus.
He credited Otago coach Vaughn Johnson; "he knows me pretty well and how I go about my business", and early morning sessions with the team's fitness trainer Adam Keen.
"Keeno's done a good job and smashed me a bit, so it's a big shout out to him."
Ryder still has a Plunket Shield match for Otago against Central Districts to complete before he focuses on his batting approach against the West Indies.
He was looking forward to returning to the New Zealand team environment, where captain Brendon McCullum had backed him all the way.
"I can't even remember what it's like, it's been that long. I just know there's going to be a lot of excitement, come Boxing Day."

text: Tryla's death seems much more to be there in order for Ahsoka to prove her point to Lux about Death Watch being evil. If we are going to say that she changed after 'A Friend in Need,' I'm going to say it had more to do with what happened between her and Lux during that episode than Tryla's death. I mean, I think she hasn't really ever been in a situation that she could develop strong feelings for a guy before. When she is suddenly put there (and kissed for the first time perhaps?) only to have him leave her at the end - I think that probably plays with a 14 yr. old girl's mind...even if she is a jedi. EDIT: Plus, with the "death" of Obi-wan, she really is forced to mature in the Hardeen arc for Anakin's sake, if we're all assuming the whole "child with an addict parent" theory.

Stone Age Pebble Holds Mysterious Meaning
A colorful pebble bearing a sequence of linear incisions may be the world's oldest engraving.
The object, which will be described in the April issue of the Journal of Archaeology, dates back approximately 100,000 years ago and could also be the world's oldest known abstract art. It was recovered from Klasies River Cave in the Eastern Cape Province of South Africa.
"Associated human remains indicate that the engraved piece was certainly made by Homo sapiens," co-author Riaan Rifkin of the University of Witwatersrand's Institute for Human Evolution told Discovery News.
Rifkin and colleagues Francesco d'Errico and Renata Garcia Moreno performed extensive non-invasive analyses of the object. Methods like X-ray fluorescence and microscopic analysis enabled the researchers to examine every minute detail of the ochre pebble, which appears to have split off from a once larger piece....

Stars prospect Shore explains choosing NCAA over juniors
Jul 12, 2014, 10:05 PM EST
As a 16-year-old, Dallas Stars prospect Devin Shore felt like he was being overpowered by more physically mature opponents. That was one of the driving forces behind his decision to play NCAA hockey rather than going the OHL route, as he explained to the team's website.
"It wasn't an easy decision. I flip-flopped back and forth," Shore said. "The OHL is such a great option, but you have to pick what is right for you. The biggest thing for me is that I needed more time to develop. I was a small kid going into my 16-year-old OHL year, and there were guys stronger than me and way more mature physically, so I figured the college route extends the window to become a pro."
The 19-year-old is taking that extra time to bulk up, if nothing else.
When the Stars selected him in the second round (61st overall) in 2012, Shore was listed at 185 lbs. He's impressively managed to pack on 20 lbs. to his 6-foot-1 frame in the past two years while distinguishing himself in the NCAA, including becoming Maine's first freshman to lead the team in scoring since a fellow named Gustav Nyquist accomplished that task.
It all leads to glowing reviews from Stars management, even if it's unclear how far he is from being ready to make the big jump(s).
"Devin had a really strong season. He's a real solid player, smart. He was one of the better players in college hockey," Stars assistant GM Les Jackson said. "He has a great attitude, good work ethic. He is a pretty impressive player and person."

Taking the 'scenic' route eh ? …
what, like slowing down the presidential motorcade to 5 MPH in Dealey Plaza ?
"with victory comes happiness"
The bottom line is that tonight nobody gives a crap about some stupid 'prospect' for the Dallas Stars (ie: maybe these clowns should make better use of their time by 'prospecting' for empty shell casings up there 'behind' the picket fence on the grassy knoll in Dealey Plaza eh?). Tonight friends, all that the people 'want or need' to care about is tomorrow's match between the Argies and the Fatherland ! Yes sir ! And as sure as tomorrow is the 13th day of the month, just like it was the 13th day of the month last month when we LA Kings prevailed victorious, I'm now convinced beyond a 'reasonable' doubt that Deutschland will emerge victorious !
ps: as you know, Jesus was the '13th' man at his last get together … probably the 'nicest' man ever …
Sieg für Deutschland und Los Angeles !!!

good 'creative' effort friend, however how can you omit the likes of Paul Reinhart, Joel Otto and Lanny McDonald from your list ? … those 80′s teams of the Flames were the 'best' they've ever had and they would have won some cups had it not been for Gretzky and crew just up the road (ie: like 'bingo' in '89 after Gretzky left Edmonton)

OJHL is a Tier II hockey. OHL is Tier I. That said it's another dumb NCAA rule. Who cares if they've played major junior and want to flip over to college hockey.
- esracerx46 - Jul 13, 2014 at 3:05 AM
Because a hundred bucks a week as far as the NCAA is concerned qualifies them as professionals.
- paperlions - Jul 13, 2014 at 11:14 AM
Which doesn't make the rule a dumb rule. Playing NCAA spores is being a professional, they are compensated for their work with tuition, room, board, books, equipment, and a small stipend. The value of that compensation for most is well north of $30K/year. For some sports, that is fair compensation because those sports are financial net negatives, for others…not so much.
- paperlions - Jul 13, 2014 at 11:39 AM
Dang it, should have said, "Which doesn't mean the rule isn't a dumb rule."
- notmrknowitall - Jul 13, 2014 at 11:28 AM
So a junior player gets boarding and maybe $250 a month in spending money from the team. How can you say that's any different from what they get in college. It's a dumb rule period.
- notmrknowitall - Jul 13, 2014 at 2:40 PM
LOL…that makes more sense. The rest of your original comment sounded like it was pretty much agreeing with me.

canoe cover
Posted by: sapien on Apr-17-13 7:22 PM (EST)
You should be able to find a relatively inexpensive ($40-50) zippered canoe cover that will fit your kayak. Not only does it protect from the sun/UV rays, it also keeps the dirt, pollen, mold, bugs etc. off to keep your boat nice and clean. (Sportsman's Guide carries a couple of inexpensive brands.) I use these year-round and all my boats stay looking great.

City Board Approves $100M Tax Break For Energy Giant Headquarters
Updated: Friday, August 2 2013, 09:22 PM EDT
A development deal that is asking for more than a $100 million tax break to build a corporate headquarters for energy giant Exelon is stirring controversy after the board that approved it refused to release any details about it.
Maryland Public Interest Group is one of the many to call into a question a common city practice of granting big tax breaks, known as TIFs, to benefit development projects in Baltimore. TIF's were originally created to spur growth in blighted areas, but in recent years, that have mostly been used to boost pricey projects on prime real estate.
The latest TIF, recently granted by the Baltimore Development Corporation, gives over a $100 million tax break to allow Exelon to build a corporate headquarters in a piece of waterfront property in Harbor East.
When Fox45 requested details about the analysis that led to the board's decision under the Maryland Public Information Act, the city responded with a letter saying they "are withholding" that information citing "deliberative process privilege."
And today, when the city Board of Finance took up the issue, they decided to close the meeting shutting out all media and the public.
Some city leaders say the lack of transparency is wrong. "If BDC did it, then I think taxpayers should be privy to that information. Anything that's done with taxpayer dollars - taxpayers should have that information," Councilman Brandon Scott said.
The board eventually reopened the doors to tell the media that they gave approval of the huge tax break. The tax break will now go to the City Council for final approval.

Title: Failure to bloom of non-native crepe myrtle
Answered by: Barbara Medford
QUESTION:I have a white crepe myrtle that never bloomed last year..my pink ones were beautiful. What can I fertilize with to promote blooming for the white one? And, yes, it is in the sun!
While there is a crape myrtle native to North America, Malpighia glabra (wild crapemyrtle), it is native only to Texas and is a member of the Malpighiaceae (Barbados Cherry) family. It is therefore not even closely related to Lagerstroemia indica, which is native to temperate and tropical Asia. The Lady Bird Johnson Wildflower Center is dedicated to the care and propagation of plants native not only to North America but to the area in which they grow naturally, which places this out of our range of expertise. We can, however, refer you to a Floridata website, Lagerstroemia indica, which should give you some more information on the culture of your plants. We can also advise you NOT to fertilize until you explore some more possibiities for the non-bloom, as over-fertilizing creates abundant foliage at the expense of blooms, especially high-nitrogen lawn fertilizer. It is possible that your white crape myrtle is situated where regular lawn fertilizing is causing it receive an overdose of nitrogen.

The range comprises the mecabounce diffusor MBM-01 (for the Metz flash units 58 AF-2, -1, 50 AF-1 and 48 AF-1), the MBM-02 (for the Metz flash units 52 AF-1 and 44 AF-1), the MBC-10 (for the Canon flash units 580 EX II and 580 EX) and the MBC-11 (for the Canon flash units 430 EX II and 430 EX). As a special feature on mecabounce diffuser attachments MBM-01 and MBM-02 for Metz flash units, the integrated wide-angle diffuser can be pushed backwards using two pins mounted inside the diffuser attachments. As a result, the zoom position produces an optimum illumination for a focal length of 16mm.
Metz mecablitz – technology "made in Germany"
Metz flash units represent high performance technology and reliable quality. We have been manufacturing in Germany for over 60 years. As such we hold a unique position – Metz is the only manufacturer of camera flash devices to develop and manufacture products in Europe.

1. Know your financial status Work out exactly how much you are left with after all your fixed monthly installments are paid. 2. Ditch the denial A lot of people don't want to draw up a budget because they don't want to face the reality of their finances. Bottom line? If your income cannot handle your lifestyle you are in trouble. Admit it to yourself and see what you can do towards fixing it. 3) Keep a daily log of everything you spendIt's a pain in the ass, yes, but you only need to do it for a week or so. This will help you identify your spending habits and give you a proper idea of areas where you can save. 4. Pay your debt smartlyRemember, debt is the big killer. Interest and compound interest take a chunk out of your bank balance every month without you getting any further with settling it. If you are paying high interest charges for credit cards, auto and personal loans and other debt, you could be wasting lots of money. Many homeowners have taken advantage of home equity loans to consolidate their debt into a single, smaller payment, often with considerably less interest charges, and one which may be tax deductible. And remember, if you have any extra money pour that into your debt to settle it faster. You can't have debt and save at the same time!5. Distinguish between wants and needsGo on, be honest. You don't really NEED a R25 000 couch. Or that many pairs of designer jeans. Make a list of your expenses with the necessary stuff high on the list and the treats down low. And when your budget runs out before you got to the luxuries, tough. 6. Become pro – active about your debt. See a registered debt counsellorDo not leave things until it is too late. Go and see a registered debt counsellor who can – in accordance with the National Credit Act – negotiate with your creditors for much smaller repayments and protect you against any further legal action – i.e summonses, judgments, repossession.7. Plan it with your partner If you're in a relationship you need to make financial plans with your partner. You have to work together as a team and both of you must make sacrifices. 8. Remember to update your budget regularlyYour finances are never static. Inflation changes, you should get a raise at least once a year and emergencies happen that mess up your planned budget. Do update your budget, and mindset, accordingly. 9. Scale downIf your expenses exceed your income every month, perhaps you should think about scaling down. Renting in a cheaper area perhaps? Buying a cheaper house? Selling one of your children? Hah hah hah. 10. Stick to itMuch like a diet, a budget only works if you stick to it. Sure, you can fall off the wagon every now and then, but it is important to get back on it!Follow Women24 on Facebook and/or Twitter in November 2010 and stand to win a prize EVERY SINGLE DAY!

An historic gay pride gathering in Georgia has ended in violence.
Religious activists disrupted what was dubbed the country's first-ever march to mark the International Day Against Homophobia.
A fist fight broke out as radical Orthodox believers in central Tbilisi tried to block the progress of those taking part, demanding the event be stopped. Police intervened and people from both sides were detained.
Gay campaigners claim that hate speech against their community has been unleashed by radical nationalist and religious groups in Georgia.

Kings in Grass Castles?
Are the lights causes by fires burning or just lights?
If they are fires they seem mighty close. The news reports of the fires and temperatures in Australia and Tasmania are terrifying.
Hope all is well with your families.
What a great view!
Tim: kings in Grass Castles is the name of a well known Australian book. In the context I have used it though, it refers to the rumour that the houses in this area were built by those involved in the marijuana trade.
Gaynor: The lights are the Belconnen area of Canberra, not fires.
chm: it is indeed a great view and the photos don't really do it justice.

War heroes repatriated from Laos decades later
QUANG BINH (VNS) — The remains of 32 Vietnamese volunteers and experts who lost their lives in Laos during wartime were laid to rest with a ceremony yesterday.
They were buried at a cemetery in Bo Trach district in the central province of Quang Binh.
The remains were gathered during the 2013-14 dry season beginning in October last year, with close co-ordination between Quang Binh and Laos' province of Khammoune.
At the ceremony, representatives from the two localities offered incense to war heroes who devoted their lives to Laos' national liberation, helping tighten the two countries' special friendship and solidarity. — VNS

The Day After Tomorrow
The 'Day After Tomorrow'
is such an awful movie,
but the day after tomorrow
is always a beautiful day.
It's your sweet birthday
the day after tomorrow
I wonder what I'll do to celebrate
maybe I'll bake you 46 birthday cakes
to give to all of your fans
maybe I'll get a stick of dynamite
and start an avalanche
of confetti
and streamers
and birthday balloons
and thousands
of screaming
people who love you
yes, I think that would do.
It's gotta be something drastic,
it's gotta be something great
it's gotta be better
then all the other days
after tomorrow.
It's gotta be sweet
as sweet as your smile
and it's gotta be as crazy
as a country mile
yes, my adopted baby,
I hope you have a great birthday,
the day after tomorrow.
