Offer: Journalism Fellowship with the International Women's Media Foundation (IWMF)
The International Women's Media Foundation (IWMF) is offering 10 journalists fellowships to produce investigative reports on the HIV/AIDS epidemic in South Africa.
Nearly 6 million South Africans are suffering from HIV – among them 3.2 million women and 280,000 children, UNAIDS estimates.
With funding from M•A•C AIDS Fund, the project will offer 10 experienced South African reporters one-on-one coaching with media trainers and stipends to conduct interviews and in-depth research. The M•A•C AIDS Fund has donated more than $8 million to HIV/AIDS programs in South African in the last decade.
Four training sessions in 2011 will bring together experts in the fields of journalism and HIV/AIDS to coach these journalists. From 30 to 40 investigative reports will be produced by the fellows, and South African new media, broadcast and print outlets will spotlight their reports.
Under the IWMF's transformative training model, these trained investigative reporters will work with editors and management to improve news reporting on HIV/AIDS. Key features of the training model include:
Continuous training
Buy-in and a commitment of institutional support from top management
Empowerment of women journalists
Training provided by journalists and experts with a focus on health and gender issues.

Os get three Gold Glove finalists
The Orioles have three finalists for the Rawlings Gold Glove Awards announced on Thursday morning, with shortstop J.J. Hardy, center fielder Adam Jones and right fielder Nick Markakis all honored in their respective American League categories.
The awards, created in 1957, are determined by a survey a player and managers —which make up 75 percent— and the Society for Sabermetric Reasearch accounts for the other 25 percent. The winners will be revealed during special award show on ESPN 2 on November 4 at 7 p.m ET.
Baltimore, which has won an AL-best 67 Gold Gloves since the award's inception, had six finalists last season and is well represented once again. Hardy is vying for his third consecutive Gold Glove win, while Jones is trying for his fourth career award. Markakis won a Gold Glove in 2011.
Hardy is up against Kansas City's Alcides Escobar and Chicago's Alexei Ramirez. Boston's Jackie Bradley, Jr. and Chicago's Adam Eaton were nominated along with Jones among centerfielders, while Markakis will go head-to-head with Tampa Bay's Kevin Kiermaier and Angels' outfielder Kole Calhoun.
Davis still suspended
KANSAS CITY— Chris Davis will finish out his 25-game suspension by missing the Orioles 2015 Opening Day.
Davis, who was with the team in Kansas City, declined to speak to a group of reporters following Baltimore's season-ending 2-1 loss to the Royals.
"I don't think so guys," Davis said as he walked past several media members. "I still got one game left."
The suspension, which was for testing positive for amphetamines associated with the drug Adderall, caused Davis to miss the final 17 regular-season games and the O's sweep in the American League Division Series and Championship Series means the All-Star has one more game to serve.
Davis, who was working out at the team's spring facility in Sarasota, Fla. in the event the Orioles made it to the World Series, has not spoke since issuing a statement through the MLB Players Association shortly after the initial news broke.
"I apologize to my teammates, coaches, the Orioles organization and especially the fans," the statement said "I made a mistake by taking Adderall. I had permission to use it in the past, but do not have a therapeutic-use exemption (TUE) this year. I accept my punishment and will begin serving my suspension immediately."
Davis, who lead the Majors in home runs a season ago, hit 26 homers with 72 RBIs in 127 games, but he batted just .196 with a Major League-leading 173 strikeouts in 2014.
Guthrie apologizes for Tuesday's t-shirt
Royals starter Jeremy Guthrie apologized on Wednesday afternoon for the t-shirt he won on Tuesday night that stated, "These O's Ain't Royal" following Kansas City's 2-1 win. Guthrie said the shirt, a play on a song lyric from Chris Brown's "Loyal' song, was given to him on Tuesday and he showed a "lack of judgement" in wearing it in his post-game press conference.
An Oriole for five years, Guthrie said several players reached out to tell him they thought it was a low blow and, while didn't see how it was disrespecting the city of Baltimore and organization, apologized and said the shirt was going to be thrown away.
"Apologies to everyone who was offended," said Guthrie, who also took to his Twitter account this morning to apologize to his former organization.
The Royals are up 3-0 in the ALCS.

Dyson's trash talking
Some interesting comments today from Kansas City's Jarrod Dyson, who made headlines last night for saying that the ALCS is not going back to Baltimore.
Here is what Dyson said this afternoon from the Royals workout:
"I'll just tell you this, man. If we win Game 3, it's going to be hard for them to look themselves in the mirror and say, 'We can win the next four.' That's tough to do, man. … Everything must click. I'm just being honest. If we take Game 3, I guarantee theere's going to be multiple people over there saying, 'Man, ain't no way we can beat these guys four games in a row.' It can be done, but not everybody's going to be on the same page. There's going to be some people ready to go home. There's going to be people not cheering in the dugout. Just like if it was vice versa on this side, it might be the same way. But we're in a good position, we're enjoying it, and we're going to take advantage of it.
We came in as an underdog. All the hype was about them hitting homers, and we have the speed. But we showed pop over there, and I think it shocked them. WE hit good in their park every time we come there. But I just don't think they expected us to come in there and win two. I just really don't. I could tell the way Buck was making his moves, he wanted to win bad. He was taking his starters out in the fourth, both starters, and it was just matchup after matchup after that. That's how you play the game. You're trying to get that win at home. At least one. And if you don't get that win, it's pretty frustrating."
ALCS Game 2
Greetings from Camden Yards, where the Orioles will look to bounce back from last night's 8-6 Game 1 loss to the Royals.
*The Orioles will start lefty Wei-Yin Chen for Monday's Game 3 of the American League Championship Series in Kansas City, followed by right-hander Miguel Gonzalez.
That plan is contingent on neither guy being used in Saturday afternoon's Game 2, with manager Buck Showalter cautioning reporters that both guys Chen and Gonzalez are available in relief as the O's have adopted an all-hands-on-deck approach this postseason.
"He's on the [lineup] card, he and Miggi," Showalter said. "[Starter] Bud [Norris] is not. [Game 1 starter Chris] Tillman is not, everyone else is on call."
Norris pitched Game 3 of the ALDS against Detroit and he pitched 6 1/3 scoreless innings in an impressive postseason debut. Chen struggled in Game 2 against a right-handed heavy Tigers lineup but has pitched well at Kauffman Stadium, going 1-0 with a 2.84 ERA in two career starts.
"I like Chen a little more in their ballpark and Bud has got some experience in 4 o'clock games," Showalter said of the factors that went into switching the two this series. "There were a couple other things. "To have Bud available in Game 5 [in relief] if needed. The third left-hander, Chen, doesn't play as much out of the 'pen."
*The Orioles did a nice job of keeping the Royals speed in check last night and Norris hopes to do the same. He's a little slower to the plate than Tillman but is very athletic and catcher Caleb Joseph –the better arm of the two– is behind the plate.
*Showalter said with the exception of one reliever he expects everyone to be available in the 'pen this afternoon.

ALCS Game 1 (updated)
There's rain in the forecast all night, but the Orioles and Royals are hoping to get this one in. Per usual, there will be immediate updates on Twitter on the game's status with the tarp on the field currently at Camden Yards. Orioles manager Buck Showalter said he got a good weather report and feels confident they will get this game in. If not, the makeup game on Sunday would be at 4 p.m. which would be the original Game 2.
The O's are waiting until after tonight's game to announce a Game 2 starter, with Showalter deciding between lefty Wei-Yin Chen and righty Bud Norris. Both guys will be available in the bullpen tonight.
Quintin Berry and Ryan Webb are here, along with infielder Chris Davis and they will travel to Kansas City with the team. So will Steve Clevenger, T.J. McFarland and Matt Wieters, with the team still deciding on Ubaldo Jimenez.

Os announce ALCS roster
BALTIMORE— The Orioles added left-handed pitcher Brian Matusz to their American League Championship Series roster, removing right-hander Ubaldo Jimenez to clear a spot. The rest of the roster, which includes 11 pitchers again, remains unchanged from the AL Division Series.
Matusz, part of the Opening Day roster, was removed last series given how well Detroit hits against lefties and since the Royals splits are even it was expected that the O's would add a lefty back to the bullpen. T.J. McFarland is not on the roster for the second consecutive series with Jimenez, who was inconsistent all season, also off for the best-of-seven set.
The rotation will be the same four guys: Chris Tillman, Wei-Yin Chen, Bud Norris and Miguel Gonzalez. Though the exact order is still to be announced. Tillman is the Os Game 1 starter again and he's is 2-2 with a 6.21 ERA in five starts against the Royals. He also tossed his first career shutout in Kansas City, a five-hit game, in May. Starter Kevin Gausman will once again be a weapon out of the bullpen, as a late-inning righty or a multi-inning guy.
Catchers Nick Hundley and Caleb Joseph are back, as are infielders Kelly Johnson and Jimmy Paredes. The O's considered speedy outfielder Quintin Berry, who joined reliever Ryan Webb and infielder Chris Davis as players who will remain with Baltimore although they are not on the active roster.
More coming shortly on Orioles.com.
Os reach extension agreement with Hardy
BALTIMORE— The Orioles have reached a multi-year contract extension with shortstop J.J. Hardy that could be announced as early as Thursday, a Major League source confirmed to MLB.com.
It's believed that Hardy's deal is three years and MLB Network's Ken Rosenthal tweeted out that it's expected to land north of the $40 million range. The Orioles and Hardy, who would have been a free agent this winter, had some contract talks this spring that stalled and the shortstop stopped talking about any progress —of lack thereof— during the season. Of all of the Orioles pending free agents, a group that also includes Nelson Cruz and Nick Markakis, Hardy was the one manager Buck Showalter pushed for the most as the Gold Glover captains the team's infield and has been a rock at shortstop.
Hardy, acquired in the offseason by former president of baseball operations Andy MacPhail, signed a three-year, $22.5 million extension with Baltimore in 2012 which included incentives for being an All-Star, Gold Glover and Silver Slugger. Considered one of the League's best defensive shortstop, Hardy would have command a hefty price tag on the open market but has made it no secret that he wanted to stay in Baltimore and play for the O's.
Hardy has a .259/.301/.420 slash line in four regular seasons with Baltimore. The deal was first reported by 105.7 The Fan.
Game 3 lineups
Greetings from Comerica Park, where downtown Detroit is jamming given the Lions 1 p.m. game and the Tigers-Orioles matchup slated for 3:45 p.m. The O's are trying for their first playoff sweep since the 1971 ALCS (best of 5) against Oakland and will send Bud Norris to the mound opposite David Price. Rajai Davis, who has been dealing with a hamstring injury, is not starting for Detroit but manager Brad Ausmus said he is eligible off the bench.
In case you missed it, I wrote about Orioles manager Buck Showalter yesterday, making all the right moves so far in this series. You can read more on that here.

Nail It
Flip flops and sandals are finding their way back on your feet, so you need to be ready to show off your tootsies. Learn what Tip Toe Nail Studio has to keep your nails in summer style.
Transform your fear of feet exposure into pride in showing off a perfect pedicure with Tip Toe Nail Studio in Montgomery. As part of Salon Concepts, this nail studio offers an intimate setting with a sole focus on hands and feet.
Beyond the atmosphere and expertise, though, Tip Toe Nail Studio offers one of the hottest trends — Minx. Owner Veniece Hughes took a course in Chicago to become a certified Minxanista, so she's ready to Minxify your look!
Available for both pedicures and manicures, Minx provides you with opportunities in both looks and longevity that a bottle of nail polish just can't give you. Guaranteed to last one week (manicure) or three weeks (pedicure) without chipping or peeling, this new trend is set to last. And with more than 200 patterns and designs, Minx gives you the chance to truly express yourself.
Two of the most popular Minx styles are the gold and silver metallic colors. While you can buy silver and gold nail polish, nothing you buy can compare to the futuristic look of these Minx options.
But whether you have Minx or not, "shorter is the in thing today," Hughes says. Out are the days of the lengthy acrylics, and a more natural look and length has taken nails by storm.
In addition to her Minx specialty, Hughes also has taken classes specific to diabetic care. Many diabetics go to their podiatrists to get their nails cut, but the shape comes out with a focus on function without the fashion. Hughes takes special precautions to ensure a safe (and stylish) service for her diabetic customers so that they truly can relax while they are in her hands.
Another specialty service at the Tip Toe Nail Studio is the crystal mud bath. Coming in aromas from invigorating peppermint to calming lavender, the crystal mud bath helps promote circulation and relaxation. After a 10 to 15 minute soak in the bath, Hughes gives you a leg and foot massage for 20 minutes per leg, and as one leg enjoys the massage, the other still gets to soak up the goodness of the crystal mud bath.
For a fresher glow to your hands and feet, Tip Toe Nail Studio also offers glycolic treatments. As a milder treatment than the 10 to 30 percent glycolic peels for faces, the seven percent glycolic formula gives you softer hands and feet without such intensity. The glycolic acid still exfoliates the dead skin and can minimize calluses over time for brighter, healthier-looking skin.

Title: Best Halloween costume!
Date: Jun 03, 2013
This outfit was absolutely the best we could have bought. The price was so good for the quality and cuteness of the outfit. The outfit was not cumbersome so my little boy didn't mind wearing it at all (minus the hat but that's a 14 month old for you). I would recommend getting some cheap, small, light weight shoes to slip on under the stockings (we used some sandals). I would recommend this costume to any and everyone, I was very very happy with it.

Title: Not made well but loved something different!
Date: Nov 28, 2012
Love this bc it's different than the same pumpkin or animal costume for a little one. My son was just 21 months for Halloween and in 18 mo pants and tops. I took others' advice and got the 3t and glad I did. Top fit perfect and bottoms I had to tack slightly on each side. The pants are all one piece but green part like tights but I had to cut them off at the ankle bc the foot part was only 2 inches wide! A newborn foot couldn't fit in there! Had to use a little fabric glue so stitching would come apart on the rest of the tights. The costume is definitely a one time use and very cheaply made but I got my $ worth and was happy with the overall look. My son loved it too, especially playing with those clubs!

Title: Cute but ran small
Date: Nov 11, 2012
This was such a cute costume! Our 20 month old who hates hats even wore the hat that came with this costume for almost an hour. The only issue was that it was a little small. Our son typically wears size 18 month clothes which are a little baggy on him but this costume was a little snug and the cute shoe covers didn't even come close to fitting over his sneakers.

every one thought my son looked really cute in this, however there was a few issues. 1 the leggings do cover the foot but the little shoes only have half a bottom. and one was smaller than the other and the strap couldnt be velcroed. 2 the golf bag was not as nice as the one in the pic. it was fabric. 3 over all is was a little small from me average size 21month old. so im not sure how well it would fit up to 24 months..

Title: Adorable and Fun!
Date: Nov 09, 2011
I found this costume less than a week before Halloween and ordered it via express shipping. I received it the day it was supposed to arrive, which was a definite plus, and absolutely loved it from the minute I opened the package. My son doesn't like to wear things on his head so I was a little worried about the hat. I was also concerned about him holding the cute little golf bag that came with the costume. My son is tall for his age (15 months) and I didn't know if the pants would fit. The pants were a little snug, but were fine for him to wear on Halloween. What I didn't know beforehand was that the pants were footed and the "shoes" that came with the costume were not actually shoes, but shoe covers. The shirt fit just fine and even had enough room for me to put a long sleeve thermal underneath. Additionally the golf bag had a Velcro strap that kept coming undo, but it didn't matter much because my son refused to hold it anyway. All in all, this was the cutest, most adorable costume I've seen in a long time and I'm glad I purchased it. Can't wait until next year to find him an even better one!

I bought this for my 16 month old and it was a hit! So much better than an animal or superhero. It did run small but lucky for me my son is on the smaller side so the 18-24 month size fit perfect. Gonna be hard to top it next year.

Title: Civil War Update
Posted: September 21, 2006 (07:12 AM)
Little Civil War update for you. I'd mark for SPOILERS, but it's not like any of you guys are reading up on this. <_<
Recently, Captain America and a bunch of the anti-regs went to investigate this fire at a chemical plant. It wasn't a fire, it was really a trap set by Iron Man, and a fight broke out between both sides. Real nasty, but things seemed even until…
Thor came down.
For those who didn't know…and that would probably be most of you, if not all…Thor's been out of commission for the longest time. Long story, but basically he just went AWOL. So he shows up out of nowhere in the middle of a battle, and his first act is to fry Captain America along with the rest of the anti-regs, saying things like 'YOU ARE ALL GOING DOWN'. This is weird for a number of reasons.
First off, Thor doesn't talk like that. He typically has this weird Shakespearean talk, which doesn't actually make sense for a Norse god to have, but that's how he talks. Second, Thor is pretty much a Captain American fanboy. He's always stood by Caps side. Always. Third off, well…check this.
Okay, little fill-in: The big guy is Goliath. He used to call himself Black Goliath, but, well, I guess somebody told him how dumb that was, so he changed it. If you've never heard of him, I don't blame you; he hasn't done much and he's been on a hiatus. He just recently popped up, pretty much reappearing out of nowhere for Civil War. Nobody was asking for a Goliath comeback. Most people, even hardcore fans, had no clue who he is. To make matters worse, he's an off-shot of Henry Pym, aka Yellowjacket, aka as ANT-MAN, aka a really lame superhero with bad taste in names and costumes. So Goliath has a low pedigree, to put it mildly.
His main power is, obviously, to grow really big. That's about it. That's all he's working with.
Thor is a frickin' Norse god. He's traded blows with the Hulk. Smacked Galactus in the face. He's generally regarded as being Superman's equal, if not his superior, and the one time they did fight they messed the place up (Superman won, but eh) So, really…
You gotta ask yourself: What the hell was Goliath thinking? Furthermore, what was Thor thinking? He typically doesn't kill people, especially not other superheroes. So why now?
Well…it's a clone. Yeah. To be continued…

It makes me sad when people do that --bring back characters that no one likes. I actually haven't heard of ANY of those super heroes, and only know Thor from Norse mythology. I didn't know they put him into Marvel. Another reason why I don't get along with them, I suppose... -_-
Ha ha, that's such a lame super power! Just being able to get bigger? Well, if he runs out of work, I guess he could be a bilboard.

Overview of Annuities
An annuity is a contract between you, the annuity owner, and an insurance company. Annuity contracts traditionally provide a guaranteed distribution of income until the death of the person(s) named in the contract or until a final date, whichever comes first. In return for your payment, the insurance company agrees to provide either a regular stream of income (often, per month) or a lump sum pay-out at a future time (generally, once you retire or reach age 59 ½).
Since an annuity is funded with after-tax dollars, give careful consideration to the purchase of an annuity unless you have fully funded or intend to fully fund your Retirement Investment Plan (401(k)), Tax Sheltered Annuity (403(b)) or Individual Retirement Account (IRA). If after funding these products you have additional funds to invest, you might consider an annuity.
There are two basic categories of annuities: deferred and immediate. With a deferred annuity, your money is invested until you begin making withdrawals, typically in retirement. An immediate annuity begins soon after you make your lump sum investment. A deferred annuity accumulates money while the immediate annuity pays out. If you want the income right away, a deferred annuity can be converted to an immediate annuity.
Within these two categories, annuities can also be either fixed or variable. A fixed annuity, as its name implies, has a fixed interest rate. Changes in currency or the stock market will not affect the monthly interest rate. Your interest rate is consistent up to such time your annuity has matured. The variable annuities, on the other hand, have a variable interest rate. Changes in the stock market affect the amount of interest earned. If the stock market is good and the currency in which your annuity is based, your interest will be less than usual. If the stock market has a downgrading trend, your interest rate will increase.
Unlike a Retirement Investment Plan (401(k)), there are no annual contribution limits for an annuity. You can select your investment amount. In addition all the money you invest compounds yearly. However, most annuities are sold by insurance brokers or other sales people who collect a commission. Commission charges can sometimes be as much as 10 percent. Also, an annuity may have surrender charges and sometimes annual fees. Traditionally, annuities impose a surrender fee if you take your money out prematurely. It is not a good idea to take money out of an annuity until you reach age 59 ½ because withdrawals made prior to age 59 ½ have a 10 percent early withdrawal penalty. An annuity does not guarantee that you will receive your money upon retirement without a hassle. Annuities can be risky. If you invest your money in an insurance firm that lacks a creditable reputation, your investment may be adversely affected.
Shop around to find an annuity that best fits your needs. It is recommended that you sit down with a financial planner or an insurance producer to determine if an annuity is right for you.
While an insurance company issues an annuity, the sales representative must be specially licensed to sell annuities. These people may work for different financial institutions—banks, brokerage firms, financial planning companies or they may be independent licensed financial advisors.
Contact the Louisiana Department of Insurance at 1-800-259-5300 to answer your questions regarding annuities.
What Determines the Cost of Health Insurance Premiums
It is fairly obvious that the cost of your health insurance premium includes the cost of doctor visits and hospitalizations but there are several other calculations that are used to determine the insurance premium. A private health insurance policy premium is essentially equal to the sum of two components, the average amount that an insurer expects to pay for services covered under the plan and a loading factor that reflects the insurer's cost of operating the plan.
There are several behind-the-scene calculations that are used to establish a health insurance premium. The average cost of a health insurance plan includes the share of medical spending that is paid for by the plan and that which is paid by the insured. If your plan covers most of your services and procedures, the more expensive your premiums will be. Actuary calculations include the cost of medical services and procedures; the risk level of the insured, with such factors as pre-existing conditions; whether the type of plan being offered is group or individual coverage; the marketing and administrative cost which includes the money spent on advertising and marketing; and finally, the insurance company's profit margin and investment performance.
The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act is a federal statute that became effective March 23, 2010. The intent of this Act is to offer the same premium to all applicants with the same age, sex, geographical location and benefit structure. By 2014, the Act will require nearly all persons not covered by Medicaid, Medicare or other public insurance programs to purchase an approved private insurance policy or pay a penalty. Health insurance exchanges will commence operation in each state by offering a marketplace where individuals and small businesses can compare policy coverages and premium costs.
Generally, the actuarial data provides a framework for the cost of health insurance premiums and the analysis may include age, gender, demographics, health status, expenditures and the use of different types of services. However, even health plans that are actuarially equivalent will more than likely have different premiums due to different profits and expense components.
Filing An Insurance Complaint: How and Why
The Louisiana Department of Insurance is tasked with regulating insurance companies, producers, adjusters and brokers who operate in the state of Louisiana. If it seems as if any one of these has not acted in accordance with your purchased insurance policy or the insurance laws and regulations of Louisiana, you might consider filing a complaint. A complaint is a written communication that expresses dissatisfaction with a specific person or entity subject to regulation under the state's insurance laws. Any questions or expressions of opinion regarding an insurance-related issue are considered "inquiries."
When purchasing coverage, many consumers want to know the number of complaints filed against a perspective company, agency, or producer. The department, along with the other states' insurance departments file the number of complaints with the National Association of Insurance Commissioners
A common question to the LDI is "How do I file a complaint?" Complaints or inquiries can be made on the LDI Web site, by telephone, or by mail. When filing a complaint, make sure you provide all pertinent information that will help in the resolution of your filing. The LDI will assign your file to a qualified compliance examiner to review. However, please be aware that the LDI cannot
Once you have filed a complaint, you will be given a case number. When contacting the LDI to check the status of your case, please refer to this number.
The Louisiana Department of Insurance is here to help you try to resolve your complaint. An LDI compliance examiner will make every effort to promptly and thoroughly research your claim and work toward a fair resolution.

Holy hell, that picture of NikkiZ is amazing! It'll be cosmic karma that, by the time I finally have a child of my own, he/she'll register as a republican. The thought keeps me up at night.
As an aside? As a former Hunstville resident, I love how active you are as a liberal. It gives me a lot of hope (tm Obama). I often wonder if I'd have had the same awakening if I hadn't moved away. I'm not so sure I'd be able to swim against the current quite so much.

Last year, 28 children in Australia under the age of five drowned.
But an exciting partnership between Logan City Council's multi award-winning Aqualogan Swim Program and the renowned Laurie Lawrence Swim School hopes to help change this frightening statistic.
This week, Council and Laurie agreed to a long term partnership which will see Laurie transfer his award-winning and nationally-renowned swim school from its current location in Millers Rd, Underwood, to the Aqualogan Springwood facility. To be launched on Tuesday 2 October, the partnership stands to have significant benefits to swimmers of all ages. Logan Mayor Pam Parker said the partnership would combine the best aspects of the Laurie Lawrence Swim School Program and the award winning Aqualogan Learn to Swim Program to help prevent children becoming another statistic. "This is truly an exciting opportunity for the families of this city," she said. "Living in the Sunshine State, water-based recreational activities are a part of life so it is imperative parents do everything they can to ensure their children have the skills to be able to swim. "Council has worked hard over the years to develop our own award-winning learn to swim program and I am delighted that Laurie has taken the opportunity to strengthen it even further by adding his knowledge and skills – the winners will undoubtedly be our children."
Laurie, renowned for his Kids Alive – Do the Five program, does not shy away from his passion for getting parents to accept their responsibility of teaching their children how to swim – far from it. In fact, his startling comparison of statistics rings home just how much work needs to be done in this all-important area. "Last year, 28 kids under five drowned – that's a busload of kids. If a busload of Logan kids went over the mountain it would be a national tragedy," he said. Parks, Sport and Community Services Committee Chair, Councillor Phil Pidgeon (Division 9), said Laurie would take an active role in the new partnership, helping instructors and swimmers alike. "It is great to know Laurie will be at the pool very regularly teaching the instructors, giving them a hand and working with the kids," he said. "Combining Laurie's knowledge and expertise with our own quality program promises to develop what is on offer at Aqualogan into a very strong swimming program." He said the revamped learn to swim program would be more consistent and feature four terms of 11 weeks.
Laurie knows just what it takes to make a great swimmer – and the benefits of the sport. And he is adamant there is no reason why another Australian swimming great can't be a product of the new partnership. "I am looking forward to working with Council to build Aqualogan into a very strong swimming program," he said. "What we want to create here is a group of swimming teachers and junior coaches that will be second to none in the world." Councillor Lisa Bradley (Division 1) said as part of the launch of the partnership, every child to register with the Aqualogan Springwood Aquatic Centre in the Kids Alive – Do the Five program would be entitled to five free 30 minute lessons. "Aqualogan Springwood is Logan City's premier aquatic facility and Laurie's recognition of this by joining forces with Council is testament to the wonderful work we have done over the years to improve the pool itself and develop our learn to swim program," she said. "I encourage parents in Brisbane to contact Aqualogan Springwood on 07 3120 1600 and enrol them in the next term of swimming lessons."

Hi Everyone!
So the New Year is here and I, like millions others out there in the world have come up with a promise to lose weight. I already have had somewhat of a good start in the past, but in 2013…I am kicking it into high gear. I can't beat around the bush anymore. This weight has GOT. TO. GO. Yesterday, I officially began my 2013 health journey again. I'm kinda excited about it. And terrified. And nervous. And excited.
Buuuuuuuuuuut! During the dates of December 24th through January 1st…all bets were OFF! I went IN on some of my favorite foods and not one single ounce of care was given! I had foods that I HAD to get in before I began my journey again. I didn't have a name for this assortment of foods until I saw this post from my fellow BLM girl over at What Rose Redd Said. She named it her "2012 Fat Girl Bucket List"…and yes…that NAME WAS PERFECT!
I'm getting cravings right now just thinking about mine again! LOL! Here goes….
Wendy's Caramel Apple Frosty Parfait
When I tell y'all this thing is heaven in a cup…LAWD…just thinking about it makes me all giddy inside! :-D I discovered this piece of caramelly (yes, I know that's not a word), sweet mix of fruit and granola sensation when one day I was in the mood for something sweet a couple of weeks ago. When I tell y'all that I have had one EVERY SINGLE DAY (one day TWICE) since then…it is NOT an exaggeration! LAWD…I just….*wall slide*
The obsession was so bad that on Christmas Eve, I went to not one, but TWO Wendy's because the first one's Vanilla Frosty wasn't working properly! It was THAT. DAMN. SERIOUS. Now though…The caramel apple frosty parfait is gone. At 340 calories per serving…I just can't do it. I had my LAST one on December 29th. I pray those things are still available when I reach my goal in June (because I WILL reach my goal), because that will be one of my special treats!
Drizzle some Caramel sauce out in honor of my Frosty parfait. *sigh*
Flea Market Donuts
THESE. THINGS. RIGHT. HERE! Whooooooooo!
Let me explain first. I call these "flea market donuts" because for a while, where I live, the only place you could get these donuts was from two places: our local flea market…and the state fair. Our fair only comes once a year (October) so sometimes I would make the trip to the flea market just for these mini circles sprinkled with cinnamon sugar straight out of the grease.
It got REALLY real when I discovered that a dough factory in the mall that I frequent opened in September. Every time I stepped foot in JC Penney from the parking lot at said mall, the heavenly aroma of sweet dough filled my nostrils and I left with a dozen EVERY TIME. I don't know how I am going to manage! Maaaaan…the dough factory even has flavored toppings! I can't…Even though I really want to. Maybe I should just quit with the mall altogether since my other goal is trying to save money! That's a win/win…right?
Sprinkle out some cinnamon sugar for my flea market donuts. *deeeeep sigh*
Chipotle Barbacoa Salad
Now if you have been following me for a while on Twitter, you know that my obsession with Chipotle is like none other. I love that place. At one point, I was going 2-3 times a week. Sometimes TWICE a day. I was real big on the burritos when I started eating there, but now…I'm big on their salads. The barbacoa (shredded braised beef) salad to be exact.
Now I know what you are thinking…"Britton, salads are healthy!" I know they are, but with extra dressing, extra sour cream, extra cheese, AND sometimes a tortilla on the side…my Barbacoa salads are NOT healthy! SMH! Sometimes we think that eating salads are good choices, but when we pile them with toppings, it can be as unhealthy as a cheeseburger!
Now, I may not eliminate my love for Chipotle completely…I just gotta compromise. Maybe, I will substitute the beef for chicken and maintain the SERVING sizes of dressing, sour cream, and cheese. Yeah…right. Chipotle just won't be the same…so I'm going to let it go. For now. My last salad was this past Saturday…the same day I had that Frosty. LOL.
Please pour out some Chipotle signature dressing in honor of my damn Barbacoa Salad!
Starbucks Venti Salted Caramel White Mocha
Y'all do know that a Salted Caramel WHITE Mocha isn't even on the Starbucks menu right?!?
See…what had happened was: I went to Starbucks one evening which is conveniently adjacent to Chipotle and I was debating trying a new drink. I was used to getting a White Chocolate Mocha, and I was explaining to the barista that I wanted to try the Salted Caramel Mocha. Well she said…"you oughta try it with White Mocha! It's really good!"…and I said…"Suuuuure…whip it up barista lady! And be sure to add some extra whip cream on there too!" *Hangs head in shame* So…umm…yeah. In the month of December, I was drinking a venti Salted Caramel White Mocha almost EVERY morning coming in to work.
I don't even have to get into why these things have to go! A venti size is 510 CALORIES! BYE Salted Caramel White Mocha with extra whipped cream and three packs of sugar on top…I'm gonna miss you. My last cup was on New Year's Day.
Gone and drizzle some of that Wendy's frosty caramel out for the morning joe as well.
and LAST, BUT NOT LEAST on my 2012 Fat Girl Bucket List…
EVERYTHING at this place RIGHT HERE
I don't care how unsanitary it looks. I love me some damn Waffle House. The waffles, the patty melts, the omelette, my cheeseburger with a fried egg, the rib eye steak (cooked medium) and eggs. I have a Waffle House not even 5 minutes away from me so if I want something quick…it's always my go to place. Not to mention I can feed both my daughters on ONE All Star Special and for LESS than $6!
As much as I love it though, there is nothing nutritional coming off that grill of grease. So…no more Waffle House! My last trip to Waffle House was on December 28th. In MY defense though, Kayden wanted to go there…LOL.
*sigh*…and that's it!
Looking back at my bucket list and considering the fact I didn't go to the gym but once in the past week, it's a miracle I didn't gain ANY weight. And even though I did my happy fat girl dance several times in the past week, I am looking forward to doing my "I reached my goal weight" dance in June and December.
If you are beginning a weight loss journey for 2013, did you have any foods that you HAD to have before you began? Did you have a "fat girl bucket list"? Sound off in the comments!
Ok, Bye!

Causes of Male Infertility
Male factor infertility is a complex condition that we are just beginning to understand. Its diagnosis and treatment can best be understood by dividing the causes of male factor infertility into three groups. The first group consists of factors where we can diagnose and treat the underlying cause. The second group we can diagnose but cannot treat the underlying cause. In the third, we cannot diagnose and cannot treat the underlying cause.
The good news and the bad news about male factor infertility is that most conditions, although they fall into the third category where we cannot diagnose or treat their underlying cause, are able to be surgically addressed allowing most of these men to father their own children. At the root of most of male factor infertility are genetic conditions resulting in low production of sperm and often, no sperm in the ejaculate. Although we cannot treat the underlying genetic cause of many of these conditions, we are typically able to find sperm surgically in about 70% of these men. Other treatable causes of male infertility will be covered in depth in the following sections.

For those of you who didn't read my post in Accountability for May 20:
SO's rig broke down and since he isn't sure if it is worth fixing, we got another car off of craigslist. Details aside, we were considering canceling out destination wedding coming up soon.
I wanted to share (especially those of you with kinds words down below) that we ARE going. :) I will do what I can to contribute as much as possible to the trip.
On side note to all of this, this was the first time I had ever used an agent (a good friend of mine) and booked an entire package in full before. After our little scare, and finding out it was going to cost 25% of the entire package to cancel, I don't know if I would ever do it this way again. I understand the airfare thing, but accomodations and car rental, really???
Anywho, relieved that we are going, but need to get back into the planning mode. I am in good standing with my homework (have to turn everything in early), so grateful for that.
Thanks again for the kind words in the Accountability thread. My MSMW board is toally dead, so need you guys. :)
|Fri, 05-24-2013 - 3:24pm
I'm sososo happy that you are going to be able to go.
I know it's hard to make these sorts of decisions, but I truly believe you made the right one.
Now when you are actually on the trip, PLEASE don't worry about the money. You've made the decision after careful consideration . . . so don't second guess yourself or let any lingering worries disturb your fun and relaxation.
You deserve to celebrate! CONGRATS!!!!!!
|Fri, 05-24-2013 - 6:24pm
It sounds like the best decision for you. I hope you both enjoy yourself!
|Fri, 05-24-2013 - 8:22pm
I agree with Stormdancer: now that you're going on the trip, don't think about money and just try to enjoy what you've bought.
I'm a little surprised to hear that you can't cancel, but then it's been ages since I used a travel agent. Some online websites allow you to cancel your hotel reservation within a week of the travel. Also, when I am going through a strecth of illness, I tend to buy travel insurance -- this way if I cannot go on the trip, I can get a refund. I guess I'm giving you tips without knowing whether they'd apply to your situation now or in the future.
Enjoy the honeymoon!

Castile rebuilds
Castile, N.Y. - One year after fire ripped through town and villages offices, destroying local government offices and a restaurant, Castile has begun to rebuild.
Its hard to believe its been a year already, said Steve Tarbell, Town Supervisor.
On October 2, 2012, nearly two-dozen fire companies responded to North Main Street in Castile in efforts to extinguish the fire. Despite their efforts, what was left of the building had to be demolished.
The building stood for more than 130 years.
Restaurant owners death
Lorraine Qutermous lived in an apartment above the offices and owned a restaurant on the first level.
Family members would not learn of her death until the next day, October 3rd.
We just waited, and waited and waited, and we had to come to terms, everybody had to come to terms, said Connie Dziemian, Qutermous sister-in-law.
Dziemian said Qutermous was a mother of three. A small memorial with photographs and letters rests on and below the fence surrounding the property.
Rebuild begins
A day after the fire, the Bank of Castile offered office space to town and village leaders to serve as a temporary government office.
Construction on a new shared facility for town and village offices began approximately one month ago, according to Castile Town Supervisor Steve Tarbell.
The building could be complete by February, said to Tarbell.
Paying for it all
Local leaders expect insurance to cover most of the costs of the new facility, but are also awaiting a $400,000 grant from New York State.

Breakbulk shipping faces a challenging 2012 with excess capacity capping freight rates as a slowing global economy depresses conventional cargo volumes.
But the project cargo and heavy-lift sectors are more bullish as demand in the oil and gas and mining sectors in emerging markets looks set to outpace faltering growth rates in the advanced industrial economies.
The industry has moved on from the sudden collapse of Germany's Beluga Shipping, the poster company of breakbulk shipping, whose spectacular growth into a 72-ship business lured a $280 million investment from U.S. private equity investor Oaktree Capital Management. The company was even being rumored to be in the hunt to take over Houston-based rival Intermarine just weeks before Beluga itself tanked, with founder Niels Stolberg facing allegations of financial irregularities.
The project cargo industry's long-term potential was underscored by Oaktree's decision not to walk away from the busted business; instead it set up a new company, Hansa Heavy Lift, which took over part of Beluga's fleet and will be a major player in 2012 with 21 modern vessels, including 10 with an average age of less than two years, worth around $1.2 billion.
Hansa's chief executive, Roger Iliffe, said Oaktree plans to hold on to Hansa for the next five to seven years and most likely exit through an initial public offering.
Another six former Beluga-chartered ships — four 12,700-deadweight-ton vessels and two 17,000-dwt. 'tweendeckers — are being managed by Danish shipowner Scan-Trans of German Project Carriers, a consortium of German owners.
The largest breakbulk players will survive the market downturn, but smaller operators could go under as rates likely come under further pressure through 2012 with too many ships chasing too few cargoes. Charter rates for multipurpose tonnage were firming toward the end of 2011 but remain well below levels of earlier years. A 17,000-dwt. geared vessel on a one-year timecharter was earning approximately $9,750 a day, about $150 above the 2010 average but several thousand dollars short of the $17,800-per-day average through 2008.
The long-term ambition of the heavy-lift sector was highlighted by the $240 million order by Netherlands-based Dockwise in early 2011 for a vessel with an 110,000-ton lift capacity. The potential of the business is underscored by the company's signing of two contracts to ship oil platforms from Korea to the U.S. Gulf and to Norway — a year before the Hyundai shipyard is due to deliver the behemoth vessel.
But the industry is far less bullish about short-term prospects. Dockwise expects subdued revenue in the conventional heavy marine transport market to persist into 2012.
Ports have benefited from rising conventional cargo volumes, but traffic could decline through 2012 as the global economy slows. Antwerp, Europe's top breakbulk port, boosted conventional traffic 16 percent in the first nine months of 2011 from a year earlier to 9.7 million tons. The increase, which outpaced all other cargo sectors, was driven by a 37.3 percent surge in steel shipments to 6.5 million tons, which more than offset a 33 percent plunge in paper and cellulose traffic to 560,000 tons, largely because of a loss of a key import contract to a rival port.
Rotterdam's breakbulk traffic jumped 24 percent in the first three quarters of 2011, totaling 6 million tons of steel, paper products, metals and fruits; the growth mainly was tied to sharply higher imports of steel slabs from Brazil.
Hamburg's conventional cargo shrunk by 100,000 tons to 1.8 million tons, as fruit imports slumped 18.9 percent, or 372,000 tons, outweighing a 24 percent jump in steel exports and an 11 percent increase in paper imports.
The underlying strength of the breakbulk market is seen in the proliferation of regular liner services, mainly in the BRIC nations of Brazil, Russia, India and China, as well as other emerging markets benefiting from the global commodity boom that has dampened economic growth in the industrialized nations.
Germany's BBC Chartering recently established a global project division that plans to operate 22 ships by 2013 out of three global service hubs — its home base in Leer, Germany, Singapore and Houston.
BBC is leveraging a fleet of more than 140 multipurpose ships to spread its global footprint in response to solid demand in the oil, gas and mining sectors. Most recently, the carrier launched a twice-monthly service between Houston and Mobile, Ala., and Venezuela and Trinidad in a joint venture with New Orleans-based Caytrans Project Services. It also established a monthly trans-Atlantic link connecting Izmir, Turkey; Porto Maghera and Genoa in Italy; three Brazilian ports — Suape, Rio de Janiero and Santos; and Buenos Aires. Earlier, it began a monthly trans-Pacific service linking Shanghai, Masan, Kobe and Yokohama and Long Beach, Houston and Charleston.
Meanwhile, Rickmers Linie, whose Pearl String round-the-world service deploying nine 30,000-dwt. multipurpose vessels moves into its ninth year, also is steadily expanding its global coverage. The carrier upgraded its Indian service with the addition of two new vessels and launched a direct east and westbound link with Europe. It also started making regular monthly calls at Bilbao after winning a contract with French forwarder Geodis to ship high-speed trains from the northern Spanish port to Damman in Saudi Arabia.
The German shipowner expanded its portfolio last year by teaming up with Maersk Line to provide a joint breakbulk-project cargo service with two newly built, 19,000-dwt. ships flying the U.S. flag.
Although medium-term prospects for the heavy-lift sector appear promising, companies are facing short-term financial pressures. Only weeks before Dockwise reported an all-time order backlog of $512 million at the end of the third quarter, it announced an agreement with its bankers to ease leverage ratios in loan agreements from March 2012 to September 2013, "to provide additional headroom in the event of extraordinary market circumstances."
The industry is set for a fresh round of consolidation as smaller, undercapitalized operators, particularly in Germany, likely will run into financial difficulties amid worsening market conditions in the coming 12 to 18 months.
And Hansa Heavy Lift has gone on record as saying it expects to play a leading role as a consolidator as the financial muscle of Oaktree, which has $80 billion of assets under management, puts it in pole position to acquire weaker competitors.
Meanwhile, companies are monitoring the oil and gas, petrochemical and mining sectors for news of projects that will eventually provide them with lucrative contracts if they have the right tonnage to transport equipment for increasingly complex projects in more distant locations.
And the outlook is looking good as the energy and mining industries reboot investments after canceling and postponing scores of projects in the wake of the 2008 credit crunch.
Capital expenditure in the global mining industry was estimated to total $113 billion in 2011, 50 percent higher than in 2010, according to consulting firm Deloitte Touche Tohmastu.
High crude prices have simultaneously boosted oil exploration and production activity to meet the projected increase in demand, and have triggered a boom in liquefied natural gas, which could replace coal as the world's second-most popular fuel after oil.
The International Energy Agency forecasts that five nations likely will supply the bulk of new supply: Saudi Arabia, Brazil, Iraq, Canada and Kazakhstan. The Middle East and North Africa alone will invest $2.7 trillion in production and exploration over the next 25 years, according to the IEA. And heavy-lift/project carriers can look forward to a share of this spending.
Petrobras, Brazil's national oil company, estimates it will need 65 deep-water oil rigs to boost the nation's oil production from 2.1 million barrels a day to 4.9 million by 2020. And the biggest challenge in this $120 billion expansion is the supply chain, according to CEO Jose Sergo Gabrielli.
This is where the breakbulk, project cargo and heavy-lift shipping industry can carve out a profitable future.
