The EU's attention to young people's health is an important element of the EU Health Strategy. Why not get involved? The most important actor in improving your health is you!
The EU Youth Health Initiative
In 2008, the Council of the EU adopted a Resolution on the Health and Well-Being of Young People that highlighted the importance of promoting the health and well-being of young people in Europe.
In 2009, the European Commission launched a Youth Health Initiative with the main goal of involving young people in the decision making process about their health and at generating commitment from stakeholders to improve youth health. The Be Healthy - Be Yourself conference, organised with the European Youth Forum drafted a youth health roadmap with actions to promote young people's health.
EU Youth Health Activities
The Commission has different activities on youth health issues, but in general terms you can take advantage of three:
The EU Health Portal - young people has information on health-related issues and activities in and outside Europe and EU public health programmes.
The EU Health Insurance Card will help save you time, hassle and money if you fall ill or suffer an injury while abroad.
The World Health Organization/Europe – child and adolescent health warns young people against the dangers of alcohol consumption, illegal drug and tobacco use, unsafe sex, violence and injuries.
Many of the health problems young people will encounter as adults, such as cardiovascular disease, diabetes, stroke, cancers and mental disorders, begin in the childhood and adolescent years. This is why, among young people, health should be considered in its widest sense, in line with the WHO definition of health: "Health is not merely the absence of disease, but a state of complete physical, psychological, and social well-being".
The EU's notion of health in young people also covers physical capacity, psychological functioning, social relationships and environmental potentials (for example, opportunities to acquire new information and skills, possibilities for leisure activities, the physical environment).

Mitch McConnell for his Kentucky seat according to a source close to the actress. "At least in Ashley's mind, it is happening," said the insider. "She has devoted herself to many important causes and stepped away from the Hollywood spotlight so this seems like the logical next step. I don't know if she will be successful, but her heart is in the right place." Judd, 44, has reportedly been meeting with well-financed Democratic donors, and last week ventured to Washington D.C for more public engagements. Judd's Hollywood career has cooled in recent years, and her impending run will be challenged by a history of sexually suggestive film roles, a complete lack of government experience and a history of depression.

Maggie's Farm
We are a commune of inquiring, skeptical, politically centrist, capitalist, anglophile, traditionalist New England Yankee humans, humanoids, and animals with many interests beyond and above politics. Each of us has had a high-school education (or GED), but all had ADD so didn't pay attention very well, especially the dogs. Each one of us does "try my best to be just like I am," and none of us enjoys working for others, including for Maggie, from whom we receive neither a nickel nor a dime. Freedom from nags, cranks, government, do-gooders, control-freaks and idiots is all that we ask for.

Like I have been saying for over 7 years about getting fat
Many years too late, the MSM and the government are getting the obvious message which docs have known all along. Unless you do manual work all day and are skinny, you don't need hardly any carbs to be fit and healthy. What carbs to eat very sparingly, if at all, to be strong and lithe? See below the basic list of the bad things which few Americans need to thrive:
All fruit (except strawberries and blueberries). Fruit is just flavored sugar, as are fruit juices
Carb-produced fat on your body is the worst thing for your heart, your joints, some cancers, your sex drive, and your youthfulness, vigor, and energy. If you are skinny and fairly muscular, ignore this.
Unless you are too skinny or healthily-skinny, I suggest one to one and a half smallish meals per day, mainly meat, eggs, greens, and vegetables. Why Westerners decided three meals daily was needed is a historical mystery, and very wrong unless you were a farmer or a growing child: most people used to be farmers, who worked until they dropped and their little kids helped all day too. Being overweight was a sign of wealth, and now it sort of functions as a sign of poverty and the underclass.
OK, a sugary dessert once weekly as a special treat. Alcohol as desired. Your hunger and your stomach will shrink quickly, as will your burdensome lard.
You will feel better and more vigorous, if that is what you want. Some people want that, some do not. Our current prosperity gives us that free choice, in the Western world.

Food and Magical Thinking
We have commented on the subject of the human diet and health before, but it's time for another comment, because the NYT Science Times has written on it.
"Healthy food" has been an on-and-off American obsession, comparable to the obsession with flavor in France.
Since Rev. Sylvester Graham, a minister, vegetarian, and food-obsessive invented the Graham Cracker in the 1820s to provide "digestive fiber," Americans have been food faddists and vulnerable to food quackery.
More famously, Dr. John Kellogg of Battle Creek, Michigan, an 1870s charlatan with a diet fad, fooled Americans into thinking that cereal was breakfast food. It is not. In Yankee-land, breakfast is eggs, bacon, sausage, toast, potatoes, fruit and apple pie.
Eat what you want, and be happy. All humans are prone to "magical thinking" - aka "wishful thinking." We'd like to imagine that we have some control over things like health, and that things we put in our mouths will make a difference. There is essentially no evidence for that idea, assuming absence of a disease, or a problem like high cholesterol, or pregnant, etc.
Even being fat doesn't seem to make any significant difference to health. (Being obese is a bad plan, though.) I advise patients to eat plenty of salmon, trout and char for their magical properties, and whatever else they want; to exercise and work out if they want to be strong and fit but not because they will live forever; to lose weight if they want to look better and feel less tired; to eat all the salt and steak they want; and to avoid magical health diets. Vegetarian? Fine. Leaves more lamb and steak for me. Just don't imagine that it's about health. What's a healthy diet? Any average mix of stuff, but most of all - enjoy it, and don't fuss about it too much.
(Image from the excellent medical blog Kevin, MD. That steak could be a bit more rare, if you ask me.)

Salt is good food
We have had a decade or two of some experts preaching that fat and salt will kill you. Many of us docs have been debunking those old claims, to little avail.
Pour on the Salt? New Research Suggests More Is OK
Food without salt really doesn't taste very good. If you're worried about your BP, take a pill.

Eat fats! Enjoy them! They are delicious and juicy.
I've been preaching this ad nauseam but everybody has his own food religion based on superstition, old wive's tales, antiquated misinformation, and various quackeries.
If ignorance floats your boat, then go for it and be happy with the placebo effects, but just do not pretend that it makes sense.
There is no reason at all to avoid dietary fats, and this has been well-known for over a decade. I was wrong - we should be feasting on fat, says Dr. Mosley.
If your triglyceride numbers scare you or your doc, take some statins.
Eat all the carbs you want, too, unless you want or need to lose weight. If you wish to be more slim, trim, and muscular, quit the carbs and exercise hard. And, for God's sake, quit with the stupid organic stuff. It's just marketing. Marketing genius for sure, just like the people who sell water in bottles.

Medical guidelines
Guidelines have consequences – intended and unintended.
I don't know what practicing clinician has time to write guidelines for other docs, but guidelines are nothing but trouble. The best medical care is both art and science. Knowledge is always incomplete, patients are individuals with unique situations, and all docs have their own preferences and points of view. Guidelines end up being little more than fodder for tort lawyers and time-wasters.
Worst of all, young docs feel as if they have to follow them. Many things go wrong when practicing by the book. Medicine is an art and a science.

More on dietary fat: It's not "bad for you"
I view part of my duty as to debunk folk myths about health and medicine. Readers know that one of my bugaboos concerns the human diet and the First World preoccupation with what we eat as if it mattered all that much. Food faddism has always been part of American life since we became a wealthy country and had food choices.
Eating fats does not make you fat. Carbs make you fat. That is no longer in dispute.
Do saturated fats "cause" heart disease? There is no evidence for it. Bacon and eggs is the Great American Breakfast, with or without grits, or biscuits and gravy. In the WSJ, The Questionable Link Between Saturated Fat and Heart Disease -Are butter, cheese and steak really bad for you? The dubious science behind the anti-fat crusade.

Your brain and being overweight
I agree with some of this, disagree with some of it. For one thing, she ignores insulin physiology. For another, she ignores menopause. She is right that losing weight is difficult given all of the abundant and cheap carbs available to everybody, and she is surely correct that people without weight issues are those who hear an internal signal that says "That's enough."
In the end, though, carb "addiction" is the main challenge for anyone who is overweight.

Your diet and cancer
Still no links found. No links found for diet and heart disease, either.
Nutrition remains folklore, magic, superstition, and there is essentially no science in it except to avoid scurvy and Beriberi. Of course, being overweight predisposes to almost all medical ailments except starvation. If you do not want to be fat, quit those tasty carbs and try to satisfy yourself with something else like reading blogs, or sex, or doing unto others. If you want to be strong, exercise hard or do physical labor. Otherwise, quit with the magical thinking and accept that death will arrive (unbidden usually) no matter what you do.
People hate to accept that reality because it feels powerless. Well, people don't dine on sacred offerings to gods anymore, and food is no longer magic medicine.
Vegetables and fruit? I do not particularly enjoy them so I am always pleased that they supposedly don't matter. For me, vegetables are just an excuse to eat the olive oil or butter. About fruit, when I get the impulse, I will occasionally eat a whole lemon or a whole lime, skin and all. Oranges are too sweet for me. Otherwise, fruit is good only for cheese. Pears, especially.
Somebody recently told me that they refused to donate to the American Heart Assoc. because she preferred to go by heart attack rather than by cancer. Well, those are the two main choices on life's menu these days, with the eradication of many infectious diseases. Carpe diem, and pursue what your soul needs before it's too late.
I am grateful that my needs are simple other than Jimmy Choos, that my life is rich and complete, and that food is not very important to me other than Shad Roe and caviar.

Told ya so: Dietary fats are just fine
For years, I have been explaining here that dietary fats are not a meaningful factor in heart disease (arterial disease). Your cholesterol level most likely doesn't matter either unless you have familial hyperlipidemia or diabetes. I believe those outliers skewed earlier studies.)
Here's more evidence: Study Questions Fat and Heart Disease Link.

The physiology of climbing Everest
It's fascinating how crowded Everest is becoming these days, with queues of mountain tourists for the rope lines. The highways are all mapped out, ladders installed, ropes installed, sherpas hired, etc., so it's almost like a rich man's chilly Disney World.
The medical part - and the risk of bad weather - seem to be the greatest challenges. First World Problems, if you will, because nobody needs to do this. However, if it is made too safe, where's the credit?
As with the Olympics, I think it's wonderful that some people want to try these sorts of adventures in life, but I do not admire the amateur tourists. Good film:

To PSA or not to PSA, and other medical confusions
"Decisions, decisions, decisions!" This often is spoken in a mixture of ennui and smug irony for decisions such as "should I buy the Audi, the BMW or the Lexus?" But this piece is nothing like that, it is about the general confusion and questionable value of our medical establishment.
The three "decisions" are apt because the diagnosis and treatment of three major illnesses have been called into question in the past year and this is disconcerting if not alarming. If you are unfamiliar with the work of Dr. John Ioannidis I recommend you find him on the web. His view of the state of medical research is summarized as "Lies, damned lies and medical research."
The original quote actually was by the British prime minister, Gladstone: "There are three kinds of lies, lies, damned lies and statistics."
The recent study out of Canada declaring the value of mammograms in women under fifty without value is noted. One doctor at Sloane Kettering has already balked and we have yet to hear from the Susan Komen foundation. The other disqualifying report identified antidepressant medication as simply placebo with no valid clinical evidence to the contrary. As a clinician my experience does not support that position, but there are facts that are hidden from us. For example, the FDA requires two "positive" studies to approve a medication for the treatment of a condition. That there may be six negative studies is not required to be revealed to us, and, as Ioannidis points out, many of the "successful" studies measure the new product against drugs that are known to be less than effective, if effective at all.
But it is prostate cancer I want to focus on. To PSA or not to PSA, that is the question. (Excuse me Prince Hamlet.) I have learned a great deal about this question from a man whom I have known for many years and who has had prostate cancer diagnosed. There was a series of articles in the popular press questioning the need for and value of the PSA test around the time his PSA began to increase incrementally. "You will more likely die with the prostate cancer than from the prostate cancer." This is very reassuring, unless you have witnessed a patient or a relative die the excruciatingly painful death of metatstatic prostate cancer.
The concerns expressed, in our behalf, is that the PSA can lead to biopsies which can be painful and prone to serious complications. While I am not a urologist, I can say I have seen one man who complained of persistent pain following a biopsy. That is all. What most of the articles failed to make reference to is something called the Gleason Score, an assessment of the aggressiveness of the tumor's malignant cells. The numbers of the score range from low to high but what you need to know is that a score of Seven is at the dividing line of could be serious and is serious. Eight and up are without question serious. Without that information one cannot make sensible judgements about how to proceed and one can only have that with the prostate biopsy. You can see the circularity of this process. With that information in hand one is then given a menu of treatment choices to consider. Watch and wait, radiation, surgery - robotic and standard supra-pubic surgical removal of the prostate gland, proton beam treatment, cyberknife, aggressive sonic ablation - more than most doctors, let alone lay people, can assess when in a state of some anxiety. Every treatment brings its own list of complications and ill consequences. "5%" risk of whichever one sounds reassuring but, if it is you who experiences that ill consequence it is 100%.
And what is most important is, as my friend learned, there is no evidence that any treatment is superior to any one of the other treatments and there may never be a study to pit one against the other to determine which is best. He chose surgery and has done well now for a few years. His PSA is zero and hopes it will remain that way. So, we ponder these three conditions, each afflicting roughly 10% of the general population, and we are asked to act or not act on the basis of flawed and insufficient information. What else are we missing?
Makes you think, doesn't it?

Five Vitamins and Supplements That Are Actually Worth Taking
Many of my medical colleagues would agree with this, more or less: Science tells us that taking most vitamins is worthless—but here's a few that buck the trend.
Of course, recommendations like this change all the time, just as do all dietary recommendations. I take it all with a grain of salt or, I should say, with plenty of salt. I love salt.

MPs: Axe Nimrod subhunters to balance MoD budget
As the UK Ministry of Defence (MoD) confronts yet another looming annual budget shortfall, Parliament's Defence Committee has issued its 2008 report into British military kit procurement. The oversight MPs say bluntly that it is time for the MoD to start axing major equipment programmes, rather than spreading its cash ever- …
"The only other project which the MPs see as a possible candidate for the chopper is the plan to build two big new aircraft carriers for the Royal Navy. These, however, have top-level political protection - they are to be built in a yard within sight of Gordon Brown's constituency seat - so their axing would appear unlikely."
You mean that Dearly beloved Gordon would actually BUY votes! Oh SHOCK; HORROR!
Paris because she doesn't have to buy ANYTHING
Totally for binning
The fewer toys we have, the less the temptation to help out our good buddy George. I'd rather have fewer £292m planes and more telescopes.
Not broad enough
In our modern fast warfare scenarios, why do we still hang on to archaic divisions in the armed forces where all three operate aircraft, yet we have the RAF, etc.
Maybe the real saving could come with having just one armed force, that works together and has one set of equipment. We could then concentrate on always having the best for each job.
Avro Shackleton for the win. ;)
There was always something about that wedge shaped nose that did it for me. ;)
Where does the money go?
Every single year, we hear of various government departments having to carry out budgets cuts, embarking on cost-saving exercises, and cutting the workforce.
Every single year, my company and personal taxes go up.
I do hope you're not naïve enough to believe that dumping Nimrod will mean more cash for Gemini. As if. It'll all be spent on road-pricing infrastructure, the olympics and re-equipping government ministers with Toyota hybrids.
Lets face it...
.. we aren't the global superpower that we once were, yet we (the Gov) insist upon these impossibly grand projects in the sad belief that it will save our reputation and reinstate potential adversaries' fear of our ability to bloody their noses.
We had a MUCH more formidible army, navy and air force back in the 1980s, yet it didn't stop the Argies having a pop at us. Its about time we realised that we need to concentrate upon defending our borders and stop interfering in far flung wars - leave NATO for that. We simply can't afford to pay for modern high tech warfare - especially when its managed by expensive suited incompetent imbeciles (you know who I mean!).
re: Where does the money go?
It makes our overlords richer! (by various financial vehicles obviously)
Just work, consume and pay your taxes
Everything will be just fine....
The obvious solution
The problem with defence procurement is that it takes so long, by the time you have the capability the threat has gone.
The obvious solution is to pair up projects (sub + sub-hunter) and split the costs with your near-future industrialised enemies (e.g. China).
You are then guaranteed that come delivery-time, you'll have a threat to counter, your enemies won't be any better off, and you'll both have kept your respective defence-tech industries alive.
You also can split the work as suits your economies - Germans design, Chinese build, Brits push paper, Yanks start conflicts (beta-testing).
Additionally, it's quite possible that the threat posed by your tooled-up enemies is negated by the fact that they're no longer your enemies, because the geopolitical landscape has changed completely in the 30 years it took to deliver working kit.
Do I get to be defence minister now?
simple MP's are idiots
The MOD spend over the odds to get kit that comes in late or over budget because of the issue of planning stupidity and the fact they are clueless morons, added to the fact R&D boys can talk them round and the need to preserve jobs so our lot can provide weapons overseas to dodgy places, knowing jobs are safe by our govt faffing.
It then gets bought already off the shelf from someone else that did it years ago when the MP's send the boys off to die in some daft combat and the fact the kit isn't there is actually made a head line. Under so called emergency funds (mp's reacting to bad headlines???? Never) which is also going to be cut.
They can't sack off the carriers as we already don't have carriers, we have toy cargo ships converted. We don't have a navy anymore, it is second rate in the world and only just second rate by the subs which most of the world don't have. So losing the pocket carriers which old age means will happen loses our effectiveness at anything remotely useful overseas and giving us a third rate navy. As we are an island overseas means anything.
Add in we already have lost sea based air to air because harriers were scrapped about five years too early so nothing to replace them and you realise how much of a shambles things are.
AND the fact lessons of the falklands said a plane or helicoptor is needed to fly over a navy to act as recon for missiles, because large waves ground the radar of ships to limited ranges and you realise why the nimrod is used, as well as the sea kings. (major lesson learned to the point the US have two pieces of hardware doing that task at all times, we are scrapping one of ours)
Right now we couldn't have another falklands as we don't have the planes to use from carriers or the carriers. Seeing as we have two pocket carriers now??? and fewer chopper carriers.
The air force can't afford to put bullets in the eurofighter because of frame stresses when firing it so the RAF isn't much better off, and if cuts continue it will be the service as 40000 makes it a force. Below that it isn't allowed to be called a force.
What we need is the govt to resign and the MOD to get people with brancells on board. People who visit a front line and ask squaddies what is needed, not some desk jockey from white hall.
A typical good question might be.
"Squaddy on the front lines, Do you have a gun that works or do you use the 1945 designed SA 80 that has had 3 redesigns at least because of a bad flaw in that it can't be used in bad weather, mud, sand etc, and whose heavy caliber support version has around 3 seconds of fire before needing a reload because the clip is 30 bullets? Meaning under emergency funds we needed to buy you all a Belgian heavy machine gun before sending you over seas? A gun so good we are the only country in the world to use it for the army and who is considered pants by the police force which chose alternatives when looking to replace their weapons."
/end rant
All our armed services are in a shambles.
As said earlier, just buy 'off the shelf'!
Yes I dont really understand why we have to spend bilions on useless kit that doesnt work or never arrives.
Who do we go into battle with the most? The Americans.
Who spends the most on weapons R&D? The Americans.
So why dont we just let them spend billions developing this junk and then we just cherry pick what we want, license it and build it in the UK if we can?
I can handle a few hundred folks being let go in Vickers/BAE etc. R&D dept if it saves me the taxpayer, 20 billion quid+ a year in wastage.
Plus if we buy US kit it might stand a chance of being compatible with our allies.
Not saying US kit is necessariliy the best but the vast majority of defense spending is wasteful anyway cos the vast majority of the real 'killer' stuff never gets used.
IMHO, The forces should be totally restyled into two branches 1) purely rapid response peacekeeping force 2) defence/deterrent
These uber-expensive nimrod style projects are just enormous pointless cash cows to prop up a sickly defense industry. There are far more important things the money should be spent on, such as education and healthcare.
Here they come £££
@Simon Elliott
Not the best option (IMO). The tri-services works fine, although sharing equipment and training could (and I think is) be further encouraged. The competing between helps.
The AC above summed it up well. Govn are a bunch of idiots with spending. They'll spend £bn on a project worth £th because a few thousand doesn't sound grand (again pun not originally intended) enough.
Companies see an MoD project as a high value project, oh the MoD can afford it..... and the daft bastards just cough up. High time some real people with real commercial awareness teamed up with people with frontline awareness to do procurement. Not just tosspots straight from uni into a blinkered head-up-arse job.
I've stopped using rant tags these days, it seems the govn keeps me in a constant rant.
Best, Plane, Ever.
The Nimrod may be over 50 years old, but it regularly runs rings around other nation's equivalent kit. The guys and the kit inside are second to none. That's why we're still using it and looking to upgrade. It's also why a sub hunter is being employed over a desert.
The AEW version got canned in a similar cost-cutting move years back. At this rate our flyboys will be soon be kicking about in a 75 year old airframe.
@Simon Elliott
Joint operations and cost-cutting are the reason that the forces are falling apart, we should be stopping the rot, not encouraging it.
Posted anon as I worked on the mighty 'rod for many years.
All ur sqaddy r belong to us
nuff said
I was told the real reason is...
...because there are more civilians employed by the MOD than there are soldiers, sailors and airmen in the armed forces!
Perhaps if we chopped the number of MOD civilians down to a reasonable level (10%, 5%, 3?) there would be enough money to pay for proper military kit instead of the half-arsed stuff we have now.
Mine's the bullet proof vest made of cardboard. Can you bring it out to my soft-skinned land rover please?
Hi, we need new nuke subs because?
I'd rather have subhunters than new nuclear weapons delivery systems. How much are those new nuke subs going to cost again?
Have they missed something?
They've wrecked agriculture, so we have to import more food.
They're gutting the Royal Navy and its RAF support.
I just hope none of our enemies invent U-boats.
Does it strike anyone else about the irony of...
nimrods talking about Nimrods?
Why Nimrods?
Someone please explain to me why they're still putting their sub-hunting stuff in 45 year old Nimrods when there are nice shiny new Airbus planes rolling out of Toulouse which are at least partially UK produced, could be serviced at almost any commercial airport, are wide body and could hold all this kit in much more comfort?
I notice the new Nimrods use Airbus technology already, so why not go the whole way and simply use something that is as close as possible to an existing product off the production line?
Even the Americans are (trying to) do this with their tanker fleet (assuming pork barrel politics doesn't stop it).
two hundred and ninety two million pounds sterling
gosh - don't get much for £300 million these days do you... a 45 year old rust bucket, held together with spare parts from a commercial airliner... justonefuckingminutehere, I thought inflation was about 3% (must be one of those new government approved percentages that are out of 5 because politicians have lost the ability to use their other hand for counting - too busy stuffing used tennerrs in their back pockets). See icon for further details.
OAP Aircraft
The Dh Comet from which this derives first flew in 1949. As, for some reason (It's a tradition, and old charter or something © rankin) these are thought of as female It'a bout due to be retired anyway. I recall engineers who worked on these in the'60s describing them as "leaking hydraulic fluid like a sieve" even then.
Avro Shackleton
AKA "forty thousand rivets flying in close formation".
Nimrod MRA4
The Nimrod MRA4 (previously called the Nimrod 2000 - that's how far behind schedule it is!) was an absurd idea from the start. It basically involved taking the existing 30-year-old (now nearer 40-year-old) Nimrods, sawing off the wings and tail, gutting the rest, then bolting on newly-designed wings (with new engines), tail, landing gear and electronics.
It should have been obvious from the start that if they were designing 75% of a new aircraft they might as well have gone the whole hog and done the other 25% while they were at it. Then at least they would have something they could try selling to other countries to defray the costs.
It certainly did become obvious when they first attempted to physically bolt the new wings on the first prototype and they had no end of problems actually getting them to fit! I expect lot of the delay and cost escalation in the programme has come from the need to reuse the ancient carcasses of the old Nimrods.
And now they've reduced the order to 12 aircraft, it makes things even more ludicrous.

Greek PM and opposition leader agree to form a coalition govt after the EU made it clear a deal needed to be done today #greece
Scenarios: Greek political drama moves into high gear
ATHENS (Reuters) – Whatever the outcome of Greece's confidence vote on Friday, political instability will almost certainly keep markets guessing whether Athens will be able to ratify a 130 billion euro bailout deal in time to avoid a messy default in December.
Greece has to pay nearly 3 billion euros in bonds maturing in December with big bills falling due from December 19 onwards. Finance Minister Evengelos Venizelos told parliament on Thursday the state can meet its obligations until December 15.
The Greek finance minister says he has told the EU that there will be no referendum #greece #g20

"The Psychology of Winning for the 21st Century"
Dr. Waitley is as witty as he ever was and delivers his message with just as much candor and just as direct as he always has. If you're a student of POW, you MUST get this book.
"not as sharp as his classic"
not as sharp as his classic The Psychology of WInning, which I recommend over this one.
"The Psychology of Winning in the 21st Century"
This guy, Denis Waitley is one of my heroes. I read his books and he is so practical in his approach. He makes the process of success come to life and fuels you with the passion to pursue your dreams. I have read his stuff since the early 1980's. You will love anything he produces.

Pronunciation: /präɡ /
Definition of prog in English:
(Of rock music) progressive: prog rock bands
More example sentences
- At this point the band were more psychedelic fledglings than soaring prog jazz birds of paradise.
- Songs meander with forgettable melodies and all kinds of twists and turns that bear no relationship to one another, other than that they're all copped from 70s glam rock, prog rock and funk.
- Replace hard rock, piano balladry, and opera with death metal, prog rock, and emo, and the result is one of the most intensely colorful albums you'll hear this year.
1950s: abbreviation.

The Mercedes-Benz of midsize luxury sedans (and coupes, convertibles and wagons).
Mercedes-Benz is doing an excellent job of evolving its vehicles to keep up with changing tastes, while maintaining its stranglehold on prestige and tradition. The 2014 Mercedes-Benz E-Class is a perfect example.
Already the best-selling car in the segment, the E-Class received extensive upgrades and modifications for 2014 that give it a more contemporary appearance and more responsive driving dynamics. As we discovered in our most recent time behind the wheel, the result is a car that's more relevant to (younger?) BMW 5 Series and Audi A6 buyers, but still offers all the comfort and confidence on which the brand is built.
Driving It
We like the newly revised driving feel of the 2014 Mercedes-Benz E-Class, as noted in our full review: "Handling has also been improved across the board, with all E-Class models delivering more communicative steering feel and a slightly more intuitive grasp of the road below."
Build and Price
The 2014 Mercedes-Benz E-Class starts around $52,000 and tops $90,000 when fully loaded. And that's not counting the E63 AMG which can climb well into six figures. Build and price your own E-Class right here at KBB.com to unlock its Kelley Blue Book Fair Purchase Price, 5-Year Cost to Own and more.
Extensively Exclusive
Mercedes-Benz has been consolidating model designations lately, so now the E-Class lineup includes not just the sedan and wagon, but also coupe and convertible versions. And there are no fewer than five engine options, including diesel, hybrid, V6, V8 and, in the high-performance E63 AMG, a 550-horsepower twin-turbocharged V8 monster.
Owners' Opinions
KBB.com reader and Mercedes-Benz E-Class owner Nutmeg is a fan: "The E-350 sedan is the perfect size with every creature comfort and electronic advancement you could imagine! Love the comfort and style... nothing comes close in the same price range." Read more Mercedes-Benz E-Class consumer reviews.
Key Competitors
The BMW 5 Series is the clearest E-Class competitor, with the Audi A6 another obvious one. While the newly redesigned Cadillac CTS sits opposite the E-Class on the sport-luxury spectrum, it's now a more viable alternative to the Europeans, as detailed in this 2014 luxury sport sedan comparison. Just be sure to know all your midsize luxury sedan options before settling on a favorite.

Servings: Makes about 36
- 1 1/2 cups sugar
- 1 1/2 cups water
- 3 cinnamon sticks, broken in half
- 1 vanilla bean, cut into small pieces
- 1 1/2 cups whole almonds (about 8 ounces), toasted
- 1 1/4 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 3 large eggs
- 1 1/2 cups powdered sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
- 3/4 cup (1 1/2 sticks) unsalted pareve margarine, melted
- 12 sheets fresh phyllo pastry or frozen, thawed
- Assorted grapes, cut into small clusters
PREPARATIONView Step-by-Step Directions
Stir all ingredients in heavy medium saucepan over medium heat until sugar dissolves. Increase heat and boil 5 minutes. Set aside.
Finely chop toasted almonds and cinnamon in processor (do not grind to powder), about 15 seconds. Using electric mixer, beat eggs, powdered sugar and baking powder in medium bowl until thick, about 1 minute. Beat in nut mixture. Cover and refrigerate until cold and thick, at least 3 hours. DO AHEAD Syrup and filling can be prepared 1 day ahead. Cover syrup and refrigerate. Keep filling refrigerated.
Brush large baking sheet with margarine. Place 1 phyllo sheet on work surface (keep remainder covered with plastic and damp towel to prevent drying). Brush with margarine. Cut lengthwise into three 3 1/2-inch-wide strips, discarding any extra phyllo if necessary. Stir filling to blend. Place 1 tablespoon filling at 1 short end of 1 pastry strip. Fold 1 corner of phyllo over filling. Repeat folding down length of pastry strip as for flag, forming triangle. Brush with margarine. Place on prepared sheet. Repeat forming traingles with remaining phyllo, margarine and filling. DO AHEAD Can be made 1 week ahead. Cover pastries and freeze. Do not thaw before baking. Cover syrup; chill.
Preheat oven to 375°F. Bake pastries until golden brown, about 15 minutes. Transfer pastries to clean baking sheet. Strain syrup. Spoon some syrup over each pastry. Let cool on sheet in syrup.
Arrange pastries on platter. Spoon additional syrup oven to moisten, if desired. Garnish with grapes.

Where Will You Hide the Bodhi?
- By devnet

I had a brief flirtation with Bodhi Linux this past week. I nuked my CrunchBang Linux install to give it a go. It seemed pretty solid, but after spending some quality time with the distro, I found the version of Network Manager loved to randomly disconnect me from wireless networks…as in, right in the middle of me transferring files, streaming music, and doing tha IRC thing. Very irritating. I did a full update to the most recent released version (released in … Continue Reading →

A recent poll released by the business advocacy group Small Business Majority found that an overwhelming majority of small business owners are concerned about the effect that the looming fiscal cliff—a combination of expiring tax cuts and across-the-board spending cuts under sequestration that could take effect in January—will have on federal funding for CTE and the workforce system.
Posted by Application Administrator at 4/15/2013 2:02:26 PM
The next time you need to illustrate the value of CTE to a policymaker, industry leader, colleague or parent, consider using an ACTE fact sheet to help you make your case!
Posted by Application Administrator at 4/15/2013 12:39:37 PM
The Association for Career and Technical Education (ACTE) is releasing today six guiding principles that it believes should shape the future of the federal investment in career and technical education (CTE) through the reauthorization Carl D. Perkins Career and Technical Education Act (Perkins Act).
Posted by Application Administrator at 4/15/2013 10:27:26 AM
Yesterday evening, ACTE and NASDCTEc hosted a reception on Capitol Hill highlighting CTE. The theme of the reception was "Beyond the Farm: Integrating Agriculture, STEM and CTE in the 21st Century," and featured students from Career and Technical Student Organizations (CTSOs) demonstrating projects showcasing the intersection of agriculture and STEM.

"Emma, your going to be late for school is you don't hurry up." My dad called from downstairs.
"I'm coming, I'm coming."I said rushing down the stairs.
"There's toast and a cup of coffee on the table." He pointed towards it.
"Thanks." As you noticed I'm Emma White, I have dark brown hair and brown eyes. I'm a junior at Grant High. I live with my dad my mom left us when i was 12 and i haven't seen her since.
"I'm done." We then got into his truck.
"Dad when is my car going to be done?" I crashed my car a couple weeks ago, because some moron ran a red light.
"Once you get the money to fix it." We weren't rich nor poor just in the middle. My dad always taught me to work for what i wanted.
"Please, it wasn't even my fault." I begged.
"I will think about, we are here."
We did our hand shake before i got out. My dad and I have done this practically my whole life.
"Later dad."
"Later sweetie." I watched him leave before walking into the doors of my high school. There was a few flyers about the homecoming dance coming up.
"You noticed them." My best friend Asher pointed.
"Ya, but I'm not gonna go, you?" I then opened my locker and grabbed my history book.
"Ya I'm asking Libby." Ugh Libby, school slut she's also the captain of the cheerleadering squad.
"Don't make that face, she really nice once you get to meet her." He tried to reason.
"Ha ya real nice I bet." I scoffed.
He then threw his arm around me.
"You have to give her a chance."
"Whatever you say, well see you 3rd period." He pecked my cheek and i walked into my class.
Asher Turner is my best friend since like we were 3. We hang out all the time when he isn't partying or at football practice. Ash is like the schools "hottie". Girls are constantly after him, he's a dork to me. I'm not gonna deny he good looking , but I don't see him like that. He has messy dark brown hair and dark blue eyes.
"Hey Emma, has Asher asked anyone to the dance?" Some random girl from my history class whispered.
"Umm...I don't know why don't you ask him." That was normal girls always asking me about him and what he's doing. History was slow today.
Ding ding ding
Finally history is over now science. It's like i have the worst schedule.
"Hey Emma." Sarah walked up to me. She was actually the only girl who talked to me for me and not Asher.
"Hey what's up?" I asked.
"Nothing, but did to do the science homework?" Crap I forgot too.
"No I totally forgot." Oh well do it tomorrow.
Science was just as bad and i wanted to see Ash already. He always in a good mood.
Ding Ding Ding
"Em how I missed you." Ash hugged me tightly.
"I...missed you too." I said unsure of what was going on.
"Okay thanks, this one girl wouldn't leave me alone even when i lied about having a girlfriend." That is a lie Asher has never had a girlfriend, hook ups ya girlfriends no.
"Sucks to be you." I laughed.
"Your jealous you can't have all this." He placed his arm on my shoulder.
"Are you sure its not the other way around." I rose my eyebrow.
"Naw why be jealous of what's mine." He tightened his grip.
"Ya all yours alright."
"No need for sarcasm, babe."
"Your right I'm not all yours or any of yours at all." I pulled away teasing.
He then pushed me towards the wall, but not hard. He trapped me with both arms on either side of my face.
"Take it back." He said trying to stay serious but the corner of his mouth turned into a grin.
I shook my head. He then cupped one side of my face and brought his face closer to were I could feel his cool breath against my lips.
"Are you sure?" He whispered causing goose bumps up my arms.
I pressed my self against him.
"I'm sure." The tardy bell then rang.
"Come on player we are already late." I smirked while grabbing his hand to walk into class.
Ash and i also like that people always think were dating, which we always say we aren't. Like can't a girl and guy be best friends.
We had a math test 3rd period so Asher and I couldn't hang out. After 3rd period was over he walked me toward my 4th period class.
Since Asher is on the football team and he's my only friend I sit with all of the football players. They are all cool with it. We been sitting together since freshmen year.
