Report reveals why our sporting reputation could waist away

For a supposedly sport-obsessed nation blessed with a benign climate, Australia does comparatively poorly at the amateur, grassroots level. And it shows in our waistlines.
Earlier this month, the federal government released a report by the Australian Sports Commission and the CSIRO which noted that already half the population is overweight, and that the proportion of overweight people was likely to rise by 15 per cent over the next decade. And last week, in The Australian Financial Review's Education section, Joanna Mather wrote that most sport science graduates would end up working in chronic disease management, particularly obesity and diabetes, rather than dealing with top-class athletes ("Sport science's dose of reality", April 15).
Clearly something is going wrong in this country when it comes to eating and exercise.
It's not as if people aren't trying. The ASC/CSIRO report, The future of Australian sport: Megatrends shaping the sports sector over the coming decades, notes "people are fitting sport into their increasingly busy and fragmented lifestyles to achieve personal health objectives. [They] are increasingly opting to go for a run with the headphones and a music player rather than committing to regular organised or structured sport."
This is reflected in the participation rates over the period 2001-2010 for "non-organised" sport. Aerobics/fitness (such as gym) participation rates have risen 110 per cent, running 71 per cent, cycling 45 per cent, walking 44 per cent and bushwalking 6 per cent. In contrast, over the same period, though, only one "organised" or team sport, soccer, has made notable gains (up 55 per cent). Netball is up 6 per cent, and the rates are merely steady for the other team sports. Sports that are losing popularity are golf (participation rates have fallen 5 per cent), swimming (down 6 per cent) and the biggest loser is tennis (minus 24 per cent).
Running rules for the time shy
A Sydney-based specialist in nutrition and exercise, Naras Lapsys, has noticed a trend to individualism in the nine years since he founded his consultancy, The Body Doctor, in Sydney's eastern suburbs. One of the main reasons for the change, he says is the working hours and pressures that people now face. "Demographically my clients are professionals who are time-poor," says Lapsys, a former personal trainer and martial arts instructor who now leans more towards triathlons. "Running and cycling are the sorts of things that people can do in the early hours of the morning before the roads get busy."
But he queries whether activities such as running and cycling can be classed as non-organised sports.
"Human beings seem to love hand-holding when it comes to exercise," he says, pointing to the phenomenal growth in the number of personal trainers in parks and in gyms. "People need to have someone there to push them. There is no doubt when you do something at six o'clock in the morning as part of a team or in conjunction with other people, it is a great motivator, whereas if it was just up to yourself you would be tempted to stay in bed. "
Wake-up call for sports bodies
However, despite all this increased activity, the growing incidence of obesity suggests that a lot more needs to be done in Australia. The ASC/CSIRO report notes that 18 per cent of Australians do no physical activity at all, and the trend towards non-organised activity should be a wake-up call for sports organisations.
"To retain strong participation rates, sports of the future will need to cater for senior citizens," it says, noting that already 14 per cent of the population is aged over 65 and this will rise to about 25 per cent in the next 40 years.
Moreover, sports bodies and local councils will have to align themselves with people's changing preferences as our society becomes ever more multicultural.
It should also be a wake-up call for federal and state governments, which have to deal with the costs of offering health services to a society that is becoming increasingly unhealthy.
However, the report doesn't delve into this issue, other than noting: "The question for government, sports and society is, what investment needs to occur to ensure the broader benefits of organised sport are accessible to all."
Is there more that local government could be doing to promote healthier lifestyles?
Lapsys would like to see more facilities – though he notes much progress has been made.
"Here in the eastern suburbs, for example, we have this phenomenal coastline which you now can walk practically all the way from Bondi down towards Wollongong. Councils have spent a lot of money putting in boardwalks and exercise areas."
But he notes that there is currently a debate about the use of public space by personal trainers and "boot camps", and whether they should be made to pay. He urges councils to encourage more activity rather than cutting down.
It would help if Australia had a more centralised, sports club culture. In the big cities, in particular, the sports facilities are fragmented. If you want to play tennis you have to go to a commercial centre here, if you want to play something else you have to go there. Sydney in particular has a whole tribe of "soccer mums" who spend their Saturdays driving their kids round town to do their various activities.
Councils could do a lot more to build new suburbs around a sports centre rather than a shopping centre.
The overall message from the ASC/CSIRO report is that the drift from organised sport needs to be stemmed.
If not, at the elite sporting level, Australia's national and Olympic teams may have a diminishing "talent pool". But, more importantly for the community, it says that "in addition to providing fitness and health benefits . . . organised sport can help build life skills and capabilities for adults and children, and develop cohesive communities. This is particularly important for children: they learn about winning and losing, the value of teamwork and trying hard."

Bank ratings
Dear Dr. Don, The Zions First National Bank rating in "Research Your Bank" has dropped. The CAEL went from 2 to 3, and the star rating went from 4 to 3 stars. Does this mean the bank is not safe? The money rate is attractive. Mike Moneymarket
Dear Mike, A Bankrate Safe & Sound CAEL rating is based on the financial institutions' Capitalization, Asset quality, Earnings and Liquidity.
When a bank is downgraded from a 2 rating to a 3 rating, it has experienced a reduction in one or more of these factors. A performing rating, which is what a CAEL rating of 3 represents, means that the bank still meets the standards set for these factors. This table shows the difference between the rankings. Bankrate can also provide you with a financial memorandum along with the latest financial statements to help you research Zions' financial health.
When you start chasing yield, it's the deposit insurance that provides the safety net for your money if the financial institution should fail. That's why it's important to understand insurance limits when making deposits. Bankrate's savings basics explain the FDIC limitations and how you can manage your accounts to maximize your insurance coverage.
I'd want the bank to maintain a higher rating for uninsured deposits, but I would be able to sleep nights if I had money on deposit in a bank with a CAEL rating of 3, providing that the deposit were FDIC insured. You should be able to too!

I'm a PhD candidate in neuroscience at UBC, in Nick Swindale's lab. My interest lies in computational neuroscience, and slightly more specifically, the activity of neural assemblies in the brain. I have this notion that what we learn about the rules of neural interaction governing perception, memory, decision making and ultimately behaviour, can be generalized to any complex system of interacting agents. Like, say, human beings making up a society. This might be a naive notion.
At the moment, I have two projects here, spyke and neuropy. The first is for taking raw extracellular neural waveforms and sorting them into spikes from distinct neurons. The second is for analyzing those spike trains in as many ways as possible. Eventually, dimstim, which we use for visual stimulation, will be posted here as well.
Here's my CV.

Maria Goretti (October 16, 1890 – July 6, 1902) is an Italian virgin-martyr of the Roman Catholic Church, and she is one of the youngest canonized saints.[1] She was born on the eastern side of Italy to a farming family, but increased poverty forced the family to move to the western side of the country when she was only six. Her father died when she was nine, and the family had to share a house with another family, the Serenellis. Maria took over household duties from her mother, while her mother and the rest of her family worked in the fields. One afternoon, Alessandro, the son of the Serenelli family, made sexual advances to her, but when she refused to submit to him because that would be a mortal sin, he stabbed her multiple times. She was taken to hospital, but died after forgiving him. He was promptly arrested, convicted and jailed. After three years he repented, and when eventually released from prison, he visited her mother begging forgiveness, which she readily granted. He later became a lay brother in a monastery, eventually dying peacefully in 1970. Maria was beatified in 1947, and canonized in 1950. Her mother attended both ceremonies.
Goretti was born Maria Teresa Goretti[2] on October 16, 1890 in Corinaldo, in the Province of Ancona, then in the Kingdom of Italy, to Luigi Goretti and Assunta Carlini. She was the third of seven children: Antonio (who died in infancy), Angelo, Maria, Mariano (Marino), Alessandro (Sandrino), Ersilia and Teresa.[2][3][4][5][6]
By the time she was six, her family had become so poor that they were forced to give up their farm, move, and work for other farmers. In 1896, they moved to Colle Gianturco, near Paliano and Frosinone, about fifty miles outside Rome; and then in 1899 to Le Ferriere, near modern Latina and Nettuno in Lazio, where they lived in a building, "La Cascina Antica," they shared with another family which included Giovanni Serenelli and his son, Alessandro.[3][6][7][8][9] Soon, Maria's father Luigi became very sick with malaria, and died when Maria was just nine.[10] While her brothers, mother, and sister worked in the fields, Maria would cook, sew, watch her infant sister, and keep the house clean. It was a hard life, but the family was very close. They shared a deep love and faith for God.
On July 5, 1902, eleven year-old Maria was sitting on the outside stairs of her home, sewing one of Alessandro's shirts and watching her infant sister Teresa, while Alessandro was threshing beans in the barnyard.[11] Knowing she would be alone, he returned to the house and threatened her with death if she did not do as he said; he was intending to rape her. She would not submit, however, protesting that what he wanted to do was a mortal sin and warning Alessandro that he would go to hell.[12] She desperately fought to stop Alessandro, a 19-year-old farmhand, from raping her. She kept screaming, "No! It is a sin! God does not want it!" Alessandro first choked Maria, but when she insisted she would rather die than submit to him, he stabbed her eleven times.[13] The injured Maria tried to reach the door, but Alessandro stopped her by stabbing her three more times before running away.[14]
Teresa awoke with the noise and started crying, and when Serenelli's father and Maria's mother came to check on the little girl, they found the bleeding Maria and took her to the nearest hospital in Nettuno. She underwent surgery without anesthesia, but her injuries were beyond the doctors' help. Halfway through the surgery, Maria woke up. She insisted that it stay that way. The pharmacist of the hospital in which she died said to her, "Maria, think of me in Paradise." She looked at the old man: "Well, who knows, which of us is going to be there first?" "You, Maria," he replied. "Then I will gladly think of you," said Maria. Maria also expressed concern for her mother's welfare.[15] The following day, 24 hours after the attack, having expressed forgiveness for her murderer and stating that she wanted to have him in Heaven with her, Maria died of her injuries, while looking at a picture of the Virgin Mary, and clutching a cross to her chest.[16]
Writing in 2002 based on his own interviews with Alessandro Serenelli and Maria's sister Ersilia in 1952, journalist Noel Crusz provided a more detailed account:
A third account of the assault was presented by Italian historian Giordano Bruno Guerri in 1985. He asserted that, while in prison, Alessandro Serenelli stated that he did not complete the assault and Maria died a physical virgin. Guerri identifies the weapon as an awl rather than a dagger.[6]
Alessandro Serenelli was captured shortly after the attack: the police taking him to prison overtook the ambulance carrying Maria to hospital.[17] Originally, he was going to be sentenced to life, but since he was a minor at that time the sentence was commuted to 30 years in prison; judges even considered he was not as mature as he was expected to be for a 20-year-old young man, and that he grew up in a poor, neglectful family, with several brothers and relatives suffering from madness and an alcoholic father.[18] It has also been suggested that it was due to her mother's plea for mercy that he was not sentenced to death.[19] Alessandro insisted he had attempted to rape Maria several times and decided to kill her because of her refusal and desperate crying. He remained unrepentant and uncommunicative from the world for three years, until a local bishop, Monsignor Giovanni Blandini, visited him in jail. Serenelli wrote a thank you note to the Bishop asking for his prayers and telling him about a dream, "in which Maria Goretti gave him lilies, which burned immediately in his hands."[20]
After his release, Alessandro Serenelli visited Maria's still-living mother, Assunta, and begged her forgiveness. She forgave him, saying that if Maria had forgiven him on her deathbed then she could not do less, and they attended Mass together the next day, receiving Holy Communion side by side.[21] Alessandro reportedly prayed every day to Maria Goretti and referred to her as "my little saint."[22] He attended her canonization in 1950.
Serenelli later became a laybrother of the Order of Friars Minor Capuchin, living in a monastery and working as its receptionist and gardener until dying peacefully in 1970, aged 87.[23]
On the evening of the beatification ceremonies in Saint Peter's Basilica, April 27, 1947, Pope Pius XII walked over to Assunta. She almost fainted. "When I saw the Pope coming, I prayed, Madonna, please help me. He put his hand on my head and said, blessed mother, happy mother, mother of a Blessed!" They both had eyes wet with tears.[24]
Three years later, on June 24, 1950, Pius XII canonized Goretti as a saint, the "Saint Agnes of the 20th century."[1] Assunta was again present at the ceremony, along with her four remaining sons and daughters. She was the first mother ever to attend the canonization ceremony of her child.[6] Alessandro Serenelli was also present at the canonization.[25][26][27]
Owing to the huge crowd present, the ceremonies associated with the canonization were held outside of Saint Peter's Basilica, in the Piazza San Pietro. Pius XII spoke, not as before in Latin, but in Italian. "We order and declare, that the blessed Maria Goretti can be venerated as a Saint and We introduce her into the Canon of Saints". Some 500,000 people, among them a majority of youth, had come from around the world. Pius asked them: "Young people, pleasure of the eyes of Jesus, are you determined to resist any attack on your chastity with the help of grace of God?" A resounding "yes" was the answer.[28]
All three of her brothers would claim that she intervened miraculously in their lives. Angelo heard her voice telling him to emigrate to America. Alessandro was reportedly miraculously given a sum of money to finance his own emigration to join Angelo. Sandrino died in the United States in 1917, and Angelo died in Italy when he returned there in 1964. The third brother, Mariano, said he heard her voice telling him to stay in his trench when the rest of his unit charged the Germans in World War I. Mariano, the only survivor of that charge, lived until 1975 and had a large family.[5]
Her body is kept in the crypt of the Basilica of Nostra Signora delle Grazie e Santa Maria Goretti in Nettuno, south of Rome. It has been often reported that her body is incorrupt but this is not the case. Her remains are kept inside a statue which is lying down beneath the altar, which has been mistakenly believed by some to be her entire body.[29]
Goretti's feast day, celebrated on July 6, was inserted in the General Roman Calendar when it was revised in 1969. Maria is the patron saint of chastity, rape victims, girls, youth, teenage girls, poverty, purity and forgiveness.[30]
Goretti is represented in art as a wavy-haired young girl in farmer clothes or a white dress, with a bouquet of lilies in her hands, and she is sometimes counted among the ranks of the Passionist order since her spiritual formation was guided by the Passionists. Both lilies and white garments are traditional icons of virginity in Catholic iconography.
Santa Maria Goretti is an Italian film based on the true story of Maria Goretti.
Heaven over the Marshes (Cielo sulla palude) is another Italian film based on her life, filmed in 1949 and directed by Augusto Genina. Ines Orsini plays Maria and Mauro Matteuci plays Alessandro. It was awarded a prize at the 10th International Exhibition of Cinema Art at Venice in 1949, as the film which contributed most to the spiritual and moral betterment of mankind.[31]
Marcel Delannoy wrote a radiophonic opera, Maria Goretti, in 1953.
In 2003, Maria Goretti, a RAI Italian TV movie directed by Giulio Base, starring Martina Pinto as Maria Goretti, was acclaimed by critics.[32]
Aileen la Tourette, in her fictionalized account of Maria Goretti (The Oldest Girl, Gariband Press, 2011), presents a picture of her which she believes allows Maria to express a more challenging and likely personality than the one associated with the Catholic Church's depiction of her. She also creates a back story for Maria's mother as an orphan and suggests the political reasons for her canonization in 1950. The style of the book is reminiscent of Alice Sebold's The Lovely Bones, where the narrator (also a dead child) looks down on events unfolding; in The Oldest Girl this occurs between chapters.

Collecting anything is usually dictated by two guiding forces: your passion, and your budget. Sometimes, one can take priority over the other, which can result in some pretty rough moments of clarity the next day when you realize you blew your rent money on a sweet looking hockey jersey.
Of course, there's also a level of collectibles that no amount of passion will bring to your home. Such is the case with Robert Edward Auctions' "blockbuster sale," running from April 16 through May 12, according to a post on Sports Collectors Digest. The post offers a sneak preview of what some truly high rollers will have the chance to bid on when the auction gets underway next month.
What kind of items? Well, when you think of valuable sports collectibles, it's impossible not to think of the T206 Honus Wagner card, widely regarded as one of the most valuable baseball cards in existence. The card is especially rare because Wagner, a Pittsburgh Pirate and widely regarded as one of the best ballplayers of the era, demanded the American Tobacco Company cease production of the card, resulting in a very limited number ever produced. The card's Wikipedia entry notes that estimates of the number of cards made range from 60 to 200…and even at 200, that's a remarkably low number of cards.
The card featured in the upcoming REA auction is a particularly rare specimen, it seems. According to the SCD post, the Wagner card is stamped "October 16, 1909," the date of the final game of that year's Wold Series. REA's president, Robert Lifson, offered his view on the item:
"This is an incredible card with or without the stamp, but the date stamp gives this card an amazing significance. Not only is this the only T206 Honus Wagner card that actually dates itself – which all alone is interesting as the T206 Honus Wagner card was only issued in 1909 – Oct. 16 is the date of the final and deciding game of the 1909 World Series between the Pittsburgh Pirates and Detroit Tigers."
The card has a reserve of $100,000, and it's expected that it could sell for more than $300,000–but knowing the passion that this card can generate, I have a suspicion that might even be a conservative estimate.
The auction also features a whole slew of other valuable baseball collectibles from the game's early years, including a 1912 Ty Cobb Tobaco Tin, a 1923 Babe Ruth bat that is believed to have been swung by Ruth on opening day with the Yankees, a Ruth rookie card, a T206 Eddie Plank card (from the same era as the aforementioned Wagner), and plenty more.
While baseball cards, autographs, and other memorabilia take the lion's share of sports items going up for bid next month, the selection also includes fight-worn trunks from the infamous 1975 boxing match between Joe Frazier and Muhammad Ali–the match more commonly known as the "Thrilla in Manilla." The trunks' reserve is at $25,000, but the final amount some lucky (and probably wealthy) collector will shell out for these could wind up anywhere.
While there is no chance I will ever have enough cash laying around to even consider bidding on any of these items, it's easy to get excited about the items themselves, as they represent some of the greatest and most legendary moments in not just sports history, but American history and culture in general. I'm very eager to see how these auctions go next month.
Of course, in the meantime, I guess I'll just stick to buying bobbleheads. While they probably won't go up in value ever, it is fun to watch them nod approvingly.

Ethnic cleansing
This is the view of Douglas Cassel, Director, Centre for International Human Rights - "At Nuremberg, leading Nazis were sentenced to death for crimes against peace, defined to mean waging a war of aggression, or a war in violation of international treaties. Because NATO's war violates the UN Charter - an international treaty - it is a crime against peace."
At the final session of the Independent Commission of Inquiry into NATO War Crimes Against Yugoslavia, called by Ramsey Clark, former Attorney General of the US, held in New York City on Saturday 1 0 June 2000, NATO was found guilty on 19 counts of crimes against peace, crimes against humanity and war crimes. Ramsey Clark concluded the tribunal by issuing a call for a world wide campaign to abolish NATO. He called upon the British peace movement as follows: "We believe that the final hearing of the Independent Tribunal WW show that US political and military leaders, and their co-conspirators in Britain and the other NATO countries, are guilty of Crimes against Peace, Crimes against humanity and War Crimes. "The entire world movement against war and exploitation of the world's people and resources must demand an end to NATO aggression. The aggressive policies of NATO constitute a serious threat to world peace, and its use of weapons banned under the Geneva Convention is a threat not only to present generations but to generations to come. Economic sanctions against Yugoslavia should be lifted and NATO should provide finance for reconstruction and the cleaning of the poisoned environment. "We believe that the courage of the Yugoslav people in the face of the NATO onslaught must inspire us for the future.
"In order to ensure a peaceful future for our world and its people, and for an environment that is safe for ale we must call a halt to NATO aggression. We must also work to prevent a new US sponsored arms race.
"The most effective sentence the Tribunal can render will be to use its authority to launch a world-wide campaign to abolish NATO. I urge the peace movement in Britain to join us in working for world peace and in campaigning for NATO to be abolished." Ramsey Clark, June 2000.
The Members of the Independent Commission of Inquiry to Investigate U.S./NATO War Crimes Against the People of Yugoslavia, meeting in New York, having considered the Initial Charges and Complaint of the Commission dated July 31, 1999 against President William J. Clinton, Gen.Wesley Clark, Secretary of State Madeleine Albright, Prime Minister Tony Blair, Chancellor Gerhard Schroder, President Jacques Chirac, Prime Minister Massimo D'Alema, Prime Minister Jose Maria Azmar, the Governments of the United States and the other NATO member states, former Secretary General Javier Solana and other NATO leaders, and Others with nineteen separate Crimes Against Peace, War Crimes and Crimes Against Humanity in violation of the Charter of the United Nations, the 1949 Geneva Conventions, other international agreements and customary international law;

Having been provided with documentary evidence, eyewitness statements, photos, videotapes, special reports, expert analyses and summaries of evidence available to the Commission; Having access to all evidence, knowledge and expert opinion in the Commission flies or available to le Commission staff;
Having been provided by the Commission, or otherwise obtained, various books, articles and other written materials on various aspects of events and conditions in Yugoslavia and other countries in the Balkans, and in the military and arms establishments;
Having considered newspaper coverage, magazine and periodical reports, special publications, TV, radio and other media coverage and public statements by the accused, other public officials and public materials;
Having heard the presentations of the Commission of Inquiry in public hearing on June 10, 2000, and the testimony, evidence and summaries there presented;
And having met, considered and deliberated with each other and with Commission staff and having considered all the evidence that is relevant to the nineteen charges of criminal conduct alleged in the Initial Complaint, make the following findings:
The Members of the International War Crimes Tribunal find the accused Guilty on the basis of the evidence against them and that each of the nineteen separate crimes alleged in the Initial Complaint has been established to have been committed beyond a reasonable doubt. These are: 1. Planning and Executing the Dismemberment, Segregation and Impoverishment of Yugoslavia. 2. Inflicting, Inciting and Enhancing Violence Between and Among Muslims and Slavs. 3. Disrupting Efforts to Maintain Unity, Peace and Stability in Yugoslavia. 4. Destroying the Peace-Making Role of the United Nations. 5. Using NATO for Military Aggression Against, and Occupation of, Non-Compliant Poor Countries. 6. Killing and Injuring a Defenceless Population throughout Yugoslavia. 7. Planning, Announcing and Executing Attacks Intended to Assassinate the Head of Government, Other Government Leaders and Selected Civilians in Yugoslavia. 8. Destroying and Damaging Economic, Social, Cultural, Medical, Diplomatic Facilities - including the Embassy of the People's Republic of China and other embassies - and Religious Resources, Properties and Facilities throughout Yugoslavia.
9. Attacking Objects Indispensable to the Survival of the Population of Yugoslavia. 10. Attacking Facilities Containing Dangerous Substances and Forces. 11. Using Depleted Uranium, Cluster Bombs and Other Prohibited Weapons. 12. Waging War on the Environment. 13. Imposing Sanctions through the United Nations that are a Genocidal Crime Against Humanity. 14. Creating an Illegal Ad-Hoc Criminal Tribunal to Destroy and Demonise the Serbian Leadership. The Illegitimacy of this Tribunal is Further Demonstrated by Its Failure to Bring Any Case Regarding the Oppression of the Romany People, Who Have Suffered the Highest Rate of Casualties of Any People in the Region. 1 5. Using Controlled International Media to Create and Maintain Support for the U.S. Assault and to Demonise Yugoslavia, Slavs, Serbs and Muslims as Genocidal Murderers. 16. Establishing the Long term Military Occupation of Strategic Parts of Yugoslavia by NATO Forces. 17. Attempting to Destroy the Sovereignty, Right to Self-Determination, Democracy and Culture of the Slavic, Muslim, Roma and Other People's of Yugoslavia. 18. Seeking to Establish U.S. Domination and Control of Yugoslavia and to Exploit Its People and Resources. 19. Using the Means of Military Force and Economic Coercion in Order to Achieve U.S. Domination.
The Members hold NATO, the NATO states and their leaders accountable for their criminal acts and condemn those found guilty in the strongest possible terms. The Members condemn the NATO bombardments, denounce the international crimes and violations of international humanitarian law committed by the armed attack and through other means such as economic sanctions. NATO has acted lawlessly and has attempted to abolish international law.
All Members urge the immediate revocation of all embargoes, sanctions and penalties against Yugoslavia because they constitute a continuing crime against humanity. The Members call for the immediate end to the NATO occupation of all Yugoslav territory, the removal of all NATO and U.S. bases and forces from the Balkans region, and the cessation of overt and covert operations, including the "International Criminal Tribunal for the Former Yugoslavia" in the Hague, aimed at overthrowing the government of Yugoslavia.
The Members further call for full reparations to be paid to the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia for death, injury, economic and environmental damage resulting from the NATO bombing, economic sanctions and blockades. Further, other states in the region which have suffered economic and environmental damage due to the NATO bombing and economic sanctions on Yugoslavia must also be awarded reparations. The Members condemn the threat or use of military technology against life, both civilian and military, as was used by the NATO powers against the people of Yugoslavia.
The Members urge public action and mobilisation to stop new and continued sanctions and aggressions by the U.S. and other NATO powers against Iraq, Cuba, North Korea, the countries of Eastern Europe and the former Soviet Union, Puerto Rico, Asia, Sudan, Colombia and other countries. We ask for the immediate cessation of oven/covert activities by the U.S. and NATO in such countries.
The Members believe that the interests of peace, justice and human progress require the abolition of NATO, Which has proved itself beyond any doubt to be an instrument of aggression for the dominant, colonizing powers, particularly the United States. The Pentagon, the central and key element of NATO and the greatest single threat to the people of the world, must be disbanded.
The Members urge the Commission to provide for the permanent preservation of the reports, evidence and materials gathered to make them available to others, and to seek ways to provide the widest possible distribution of the truth about the U.S./NATO war on Yugoslavia.
We urge all people of the world to act on recommendations developed by the Commission to hold power accountable and to secure social justice on which lasting peace must be based.
Done in New York this 10th day of June, 2000
A panel of 1 6 judges from 11 countries at a people's tribunal meeting in New York June 1 0 before 500 people found U.S. and NATO political and military leaders guilty of war crimes against Yugoslavia in the March 24-June 10, 1999 assault on that country.
Former U.S. Attorney General Ramsey Clark, the lead prosecutor at the International Tribunal on U.S./NATO War Crimes Against Yugoslavia, urged those present and those they represented from the 21 countries participating to carry out a sentence of organising a campaign to abolish the NATO military pact.
Ben Dupuy, former ambassador from Haiti, Rev. Kiyul Chung of Korea, and auto worker Martha Grevatt, who heads the AFL-CIO's organization Pride at Work, read the three parts of the verdict.
Participants taking the witness stand included eye-witnesses, researchers who visited Yugoslavia, renowned political and economics analysts, historians, physicists, biologists, military experts, journalists and lay researchers.
Many of these witnesses have in the past 15 months presented to audiences worldwide a complete picture of the war NATO waged against Yugoslavia. For the tribunal, however, all limited themselves to a single area of expertise that made up a single part of the evidence against the political and military leaders of the United States and the other NATO countries.
Taken together, the judges decided, each single part contributed to construct a proof that beyond a reasonable doubt proved the guilt of the accused, just as the proper placing of single tiles can build a mosaic.
The witnesses' presentations were accompanied in many cases by slides and videos displayed on a large screen on the stage of the auditorium at Martin Luther King Jr. High School in Manhattan. This screen was easily visible both to the judges, who sat on the stage, and to the hundreds in the audience, many of whom stayed throughout the nine-hour day.
In addition, pictures and videos were on display in the hall outside the auditoriums, and documentary evidence was offered in books or in research papers.
The International Action Center, founded by Ramsey Clark in 1992, organised this final session of the tribunal. There were also participants who had organized similar tribunal hearings in Germany, Italy, Austria, Russia, Ukraine, Yugoslavia, and Greece where, last November in Athens, thousands declared U.S. President Clinton a war criminal.
In addition to the witnesses, there were also important guest presentations from representatives of the governments Yugoslavia and Cuba. In addition, Ismael Guadalupe from Vieques, Puerto Rico showed in a poweful speech how the practice runs against his snmn island laid the basis for U.S./NATO aggression around the world.
According to the IAC organisers, total registration, including justices, witnesses and staff was 511. Invited speakers, witnesses and judges came from Haiti, Spain, Turkey, Korea, Roma, Puerto Rico, India, Gemany, United States, Canada, Italy, Yugoslavia, Russia, Britain, Belgium, Iraq, Greece, Austria, France, and Portugal. The U. S. government refused visas to four people from Ukraine, whose message was read from the stage.
There were also representatives of the Roma people, called gypsies, and the verdict took note that the persecution of Roma people has never before been made an issue before an international tribunal.
Five different television crews taped the entire proceedings, including Serbian television and a three-camera crew from Australia, as well as alternate media sources in the U.S. like the Peoples Video Network.

EnclosuresSilverStone Raven RV05We're finally starting to reach a state where case manufacturers are doing away with the seldom-used 5.25-inch drive bays! With computer enthusiasts not often needing optical drives these days in their desktops, SilverStone introduced the Raven RV05 this past summer that does away with all 5.25-inch drive bays (though there is a slim slot-loading optical drive bay slot if you really need it...). With Linux users especially being rarely reliant on optical drives given that most Linux distributions can be installed in a "live USB" manner and most software obtained over the Internet via distribution package repositories, the Raven RV05 we're looking at today should be efficient and attractive to many Linux users.
9 October 2014 - 13 Comments SilverStone Milo ML06For those in need of an attractive yet modestly priced mini-ITX HTPC enclosure for a new AMD AM1 system or other mini-ITX Linux build, the Milo ML06 chassis from SilverStone is worth considering.
13 May 2014 - 4 Comments Rosewill RS-MI-01: An Ultra Low-Cost Mini-ITX ChassisAfter spending $30~60 on an APU, and as low as $30 on a motherboard, you are probably looking for an ultra low-cost computer case / PSU to go with a new budget AMD AM1 build, right? If so, the Rosewill RS-MI-01 is a very cheap mini-ITX enclosure that also includes a 250 Watt power supply, but its $45 price tag may raise concerns over quality.
23 April 2014 - 12 Comments Mini-Box M350: A Simple, Affordable Mini-ITX CaseIf you are looking for a very compact enclosure that can handle a mini-ITX motherboard and up to two 2.5-inch hard drives while measuring in at just 192 x 210 x 62 mm, the Mini-Box M350 might be the performance case for your needs.
16 April 2014 - 9 Comments SilverStone Raven RVZ01When opening the box to the SilverStone Raven RVZ01 there is a disclaimer printed on the packaging in multiple languages about being a "unique product" and recommending users first reading the included manual. This statement isn't just some marketing verbage to build up hype or purchasing confidence in the product, but with being able to accommodate up to a 13-inch PCI Express graphics card and four drive bays within this petite mini-ITX chassis, it truly is a unique product. Today at Phoronix we're looking at SilverStone's Raven RVZ01 mini-ITX chassis, the SFX 450W ST45SF-G power supply, and SST-CP11 SATA cabling for building a great Linux HTPC or your own Steam Machine/Box Linux gaming system.
26 March 2014 - 7 Comments SilverStone SG05-LITE: Building A Low-Cost, Linux, Mini-ITX SystemThe Sugo SG05-LITE is a decent Mini-ITX/DTX enclosure from SilverStone that is very low-cost yet decent build quality and design. Here's a look at the SilverStone Sugo SG05-LITE and some other Linux-friendly system components for those thinking about doing a low-cost Linux-based mini-ITX system.
15 February 2014 - 14 Comments SilverStone PS08: A Decent, Ultra Low-Cost Micro-ATX CaseWith being in the process of assembling a new automated test farm for Phoronix Test Suite / OpenBenchmarking.org / Phoromatic test purposes, when it came to finding new computer cases I ended up finding a decent choice with SilverStone. While SilverStone is known for their very expensive and high-end cases, the Precision PS08 is less luxurious but sells at a very nice price.
2 February 2014 - 23 Comments SilverStone Fortress FT04When it comes to hardware reviews after reviewing CPUs, GPUs, and SSDs under Linux, one of my personal favorites is always looking at SilverStone's latest and greatest computer cases. While their enclosures have nothing to do with the operating system, so many of their designs are incredible and innovative that they're always fun checking out. The latest ATX enclosure I've had the honor of looking at is the SilverStone Fortress FT04.
9 December 2013 - 6 Comments SilverStone Milo ML04In the past at Phoronix we have looked at the SilverStone Milo ML01, ML02, and ML03 HTPC enclosures, which all were nice and lived up to the prestigious SilverStone name we have come to expect over the years. When the opportunity arose to look at the Milo ML04 revision, of course I was very interested to see what the talented SilverStone designers envisioned to make a home theater PC chassis even better.
20 October 2013 - 5 Comments SilverStone Sugo SG09When it comes to Small Form Factor (SFF) computer cases, one of my favorite for the better part of the past decade has been the SilverStone Sugo series. SilverStone generally is always right on with delivering incredible computer enclosures, but their Sugo line-up in particular have been innovative, feature rich, fun to work with, and all around great when it comes to SFF/HTPC builds. Their latest addition to the Sugo family is the SG09, which I've been testing at Phoronix.

Community action against child marriages
By Vidya Kulkarni In Hipparaga-Rava, one of the villages in Lohara block, almost 43% marriages (12 out of 28 marriages) in 2005 were underage marriages. Child marriage has far reaching implications for women. It curtails their educational opportunities, affects their health and makes them more vulnerable to domestic violence. This socio-economically backward region of the state is home to many such problems. Community action was initiated through a discussion with women and adolescent girls prior to sharing it with the larger group. During the interactive sessions, the statistics of early marriage in their village were brought to the notice of school going girls from Grade 8 to 10, who then opened their hearts and said that they did not want to get married before the age of 18. The girls unanimously opted for education and were reluctant to get married soon, especially after they were explained the social and health consequences of early marriage. The girls then took a collective oath not to marry till 18 and also to win their parents' support by convincing them of their decision. Kusumbai, barely in her thirties, moved everyone with her story. Kusumbai, who was married while in Grade 3, at the tender age of 9, was determined not to do the same with her daughter. She said she had decided to educate her daughter till Grade 12 before marrying her. In a society where early marriages are the norm, delaying the marriage of a daughter is not appreciated. Kusumbai represented the voice of many, who could not gather courage to voice their feelings. After the interactive discussions, the men too understood the gravity of the situation and felt that concrete measures were needed against child marriage. Such participatory discussions through the village planning process have been able to create a consensus to fight social evils like child marriage in the district. Therefore community pressure and awareness rather than legal pressure can play a significant role in preventing it. |

Psychic Teens: Philadelphia Goth-Punks Brood and Snicker Into the Abyss
"We're not, like, three Robert Smiths walking in."
Who: Psychic Teens dole out bleak washes of post-punk punishment, cobbling together their sound from bits of Bauhaus, curtains of shoegaze, and an undercurrent of Lynchian discomfort. The trio — composed of singer-guitarist Larry Ragone, bassist Joe Decarolis, and drummer Dave Cherasaro — formed in 2010 and quickly established their festering rhythm. "We came from a lot of similar bands in our area," Ragone says. "We'd known each other for a long time and tried a new configuration; we kind of gelled together very quickly." After unleashing their debut album, TEEN, in 2011, the foursome recorded a split release of cover songs with Hulk Smash, issued a digital EP of Misfits covers, and burned off a masterful sophomore full-length, the arthouse-horror document COME, which earned an Album of the Week distinction from SPIN just before its August 13 release via SRA Records.
Don't Believe the Type: Ragone may be at the forefront, strapped to a six-string and droning into the microphone, but Psychic Teens feed off an equal partnership among its band members. "People look at a guitarist-singer and it's like, 'He's a songwriter and this is his backing band,' and for us that's completely not the case — the sum of all parts is what you hear," Ragone insists. "In starting this, I never thought of me singing and playing at the same time, but as I got more attuned to what we were doing, I felt more confident. As far as writing goes, the bass and the drums are the true framework for these songs, and I think that's true of a lot of bands like Joy Division and New Order at the beginning. A lot of the older punk bands aren't really too guitar heavy as far someone coming in and writing riffs."
Jammin' at Club Silencio: The threesome draw on a variety of influences, not just the Factory Records catalogue circa 1982. They're all devout sci-fi and horror fans — Ragone sports a tattoo that references David Lynch's 2001 creep-piece Mulholland Drive — and count books, art films, and comics among their inspirations. Don't accuse them of being pretentious, though: When asked about his writing process, Ragone remains modest. "Lyrically, I don't put too much thought in each word I use," he says. "I try to make it somewhat cohesive, where the songs are self-contained narratives... [but] I'm not doing poetry. There is nothing scribbled in my journal."
Three Imaginative Boys: Despite their proclivity for most things gothic, the men of Psychic Teens aren't all doom and gloom. For every song on COME that spins a tale about vampires ("LUST"), there's one that delivers a fourth-wall-breaching wink ("H#TE"). "There's also a little bit of comedy in what we do," Ragone says. "We don't take ourselves too seriously. A lot of times, being 'gothy' is thrown around because of what we sound like and the lyrical content and maybe the way I sing. But we're really goofy people. We're not, like, three Robert Smiths walking in. We just look like three regular dudes. A little bit of it is tongue-in-cheeky. Don't put too much stock in the lyrics. I'm not really that much of a tormented soul."

Mairose's in AmericaUpdated July 31, 2011 |
Paul T. Mairose 4606 NW 387th Street Woodland, WA 98674 United States |
360-263-8175 firstname.lastname@example.com |
Edit Your Page |
This is a quick start on a web site to provide information on the MAIROSE (MAYROSE, MEIROSE) surname. I will be updating this site periodically as new information becomes available. The family history I have gathered is very broad and includes more than Mairoses. In all, there are over 25,000 names. I am aware there is some data that is incorrect but this will be corrected as more authoratative sources are found. Much of the information I have has been gathered by family and relatives and mostly from memory. Therefore, some of this information may be incorrect. I have been to Germany to gather additional information but the link to Germany is still somewhat missing. I think the spelling of the name has changed over the years but do not have a definitive trace on that yet. |

Facebook exec Dustin Moskowitz quits
Head of engineering from day one, Moskowitz's involvement with Facebook goes back to when he and CEO Mark Zuckerberg were students together at Harvard.
Update: Facebook co-founder and CEO Mark Zuckerberg has confirmed Moskovitz's departure from the company, saying "Dustin has always had Facebook's best interests at heart and will always be someone I turn to for advice."
Dustin Moskowitz, one of Mark Zuckerberg's co-founders at Facebook and one of the young CEO's longtime confidants, has left the company according to Valleywag. He's leaving to found an undisclosed new company with Justin Rosenstein, another departing Facebook engineer, the blog said.
Moskowitz, who served as a head engineer at the social network, was one of Facebook's earliest employees--so early, in fact, that he was named along with Zuckerberg and several other then-Harvard students in the ConnectU vs. Facebook lawsuit that was finally settled this year. Moskowitz's departure was reportedly announced in an e-mail to the company from Zuckerberg.
In recent years, Moskowitz's role at the company was primarily behind-the-scenes, but he was responsible for some public product debuts like the Facebook for BlackBerry application .
At the same time, Facebook's executive ranks began more and more to resemble those of a Silicon Valley power player rather than a geeky college start-up. The social network hired former Google executives Sheryl Sandberg and Elliot Schrage as chief operating officer and vice president of communications and public affairs, respectively, and just last week announced the hire of veteran D.C. insider Ted Ullyot as general counsel.
Facebook representatives were not immediately available to confirm Moskowitz's departure.

Mark Webber, 1m 27.572s, P4
There were no problems for Vettel, who said hed been surprised on his first run in Q3 by just how quickly all the water had drained. Like everyone else bar Grosjean, the German set a banker lap on wet tyres before quickly switching to intermediates. From there he easily dominated the session with a superb lap that won him pole position and set him up to equal Alberto Ascaris record of nine wins in a row. Webber, by contrast, never really got a good lap together, and his chances of winning his final Grand Prix look remote by having to start fourth. However, with Sundays weather looking unsettled, neither Vettel nor Webber can count on finishing where they start.
Nico Rosberg, 1m 27.102s, P2
Lewis Hamilton, 1m 27.677s, P5
Rosberg was happy with his lap, which put him in a position to challenge Red Bull in the race, but admitted that he was very surprised by the size of the gap to Vettel. He put that down to a lack of KERS after going for two consecutive fast laps. Hamilton had said the previous day that he had no hope if it stayed wet, but now reckons that Mercedes have made some progress with his car. But he still feels he has much to learn about getting the best from things such as the engine mapping in wet conditions. Mercedes nevertheless believe they are well placed to maintain their second position overall in the constructors championship over Ferrari.
Fernando Alonso, 1m 27.539s, P3
Felipe Massa, 1m 28.109s, P9
Alonso admitted to mixed feelings despite taking his equal best grid position of the year. On the one hand, being third was a fillip for Ferrari, especially if it stays wet, but he felt he lost too much time struggling for traction and that without that he could have been ahead of Rosberg. In his last race for Ferrari, Massa struggled for grip and traction on his way to a disappointed ninth. The Brazilian will be desperate to perform well in front of his home fans, and having won twice at Interlagos in the past, hell hope to move forwards in the race.
Romain Grosjean, 1m 27.737s, P6
Heikki Kovalainen, 1m 27.456s, P11
Grosjean was on fire in Q2 when he set the pace three-tenths ahead of Vettel, and the plan to make an early switch from wets to intermediates seemed sound in Q3. But Lotus admitted that they should have waited before sending him back out as conditions improved further after hed taken the best from his tyres. The Frenchman is still hopeful of being able to exploit Lotuss race pace, whatever the conditions. Kovalainen admitted that he just didnt have the pace to make Q3, plain and simple. However, having never driven the E21 in the wet before this weekend, he can be excused slightly.
Toro Rosso
Daniel Ricciardo, 1m 28.052s, P7
Jean-Eric Vergne, 1m 28.081s, P8
Ricciardo is very happy to be starting his final race with Toro Rosso from seventh, while Vergne was extremely relieved to recover from a shaky start - getting through to Q2 at the last gasp - to then more or less match his team mate in Q3. Seventh and eighth represents Toro Rossos best qualifying performance of the year and whats more, both drivers believe they can have strong races if it remains wet on Sunday.
Nico Hulkenberg, 1m 29.582s, P10
Esteban Gutierrez, 1m 27.445s, P18
Having qualified on pole for Williams in a wet session at Interlagos in 2010, Hulkenberg said he struggled in the wet on Saturday - which seems to be a corollary of Saubers improved dry road performance - and that it was tough on the super-slippery track. Gutierrez spoiled his best lap in Q1 when the track was at its best, and couldnt recover as conditions soured. Hell have a tougher job than his team mate to make the points on Sunday.
Force India
Paul di Resta, 1m 27.798s, P12
Adrian Sutil, 1m 28.586s, P16
Di Resta was reasonably happy with the set-up which Force India had decided on early in the weekend, but Sutil said he struggled for grip and suffered too much oversteer. The Scot fancies his chances if the weather is dry, but that is a big if. Sutil, meanwhile, is hoping to be helped out by an unpredictable race.
Valtteri Bottas, 1m 27.954s, P13
Pastor Maldonado, 1m 27.367s, P17
Williams had their cars out at the right time and on the right tyres in Q1; Bottas got the best from his, Maldonado didnt, missing Q2 by a tenth. Despite their different fortunes, both drivers remain confident of scoring points on race day.
Sergio Perez, 1m 28.269s, P14
Jenson Button, 1m 28.308s, P15
Button rued not running in FP3, to save tyres, as it gave him insufficient data on what the intermediates needed to give their best. He felt that the tyre pressures were too low in Q2, and that running a low-downforce set-up also hurt his chances, though it could help him if the weather is dry for the race. Perez was pushing hard to try and get into Q3 when he crashed near the end of Q2, but the damage was minimal and he remains eager for a strong final race with McLaren.
Charles Pic, 1m 27.843s, P19
Giedo van der Garde, 1m 28.320s, P20
Pic was very happy, after solving the balance issue hes had on his car for the past three races and also managing to save a set of intermediates for the race. Van der Garde also saved a set, but admitted to a mistake on his best lap as he struggled with his CT03s balance. Caterhams aim for race day is simple: finish high enough to snatch P10 in the constructors championship from rivals Marussia.
Jules Bianchi, 1m 28.366s, P21
Max Chilton, 1m 28.950s, P22
Once again the Marussias were close to the Caterhams, though Bianchi was adamant that he could have been closer to Pic but for a big mistake on the one lap in Q1 in which he had the chance to set a decent time. Chilton likewise had a big moment in the final sector as he struggled with his MR02s balance. Both drivers know their job is to race the Caterhams on Sunday.

Current Time
Concierge.com's insider take:
After opening in 2003, this 23-room hotel became the place for stylish travelers to stay—in 2006, for example, both the queen of England and the emperor of Japan checked in (separately, of course). Its stature has been challenged by the opening of sister hotel, the Telegraaf, but for a romantic weekend, the Three Sisters is still unbeatable. It occupies three adjacent 14th-century buildings (the so-called sisters) in the former merchants' area of Old Town, and each of the bedrooms is individually decorated. The rooms do have modern touches, such as flat-screen TVs, but the decor makes the most of the age of the buildings: A wood-clad wall in room 8 is a remnant of the space's former use as a stable, and an arched alcove in room 9 is a portion of the city's limestone walls. En suite bath facilities range from luxury "wet rooms" in Brazilian slate to freestanding baths in the bedroom. Have a drink in front of the fireplace in the high-ceilinged library or wine bar before dinner in the restaurant—you'll want to take full advantage of the hotel's 3,000-bottle cellar.

The Denver Cutthroats clinched a spot in the 2013 CHL Playoffs in the team's inaugural season
Denver Cutthroats clinch CHL playoffs
DENVER, Colo - Thanks to a three-goal rally in the third period against the Quad City Mallards that created a 3-3 tie at the end of regulation last night, the Denver Cutthroats earned a point in the Central Hockey League standings and clinched a spot in the 2013 CHL Playoffs in this, the team's inaugural season in Denver.
"Even though we are an expansion team, reaching the playoffs was one of our goals and it is great for our team that we will have another chance to play in front of our awesome Denver fans in the Coliseum this season," said Cutthroats Head Coach Derek Armstrong.
The Cutthroats wrap up the CHL regular season with two games in South Dakota against the Rapid City Rush, Friday, March 22 and Saturday, March 23. The CHL's regular season concludes on Sunday, March 24, and the Playoff schedule will be released shortly thereafter. The highest the Cutthroats can finish in the CHL standing is with the No. 6 seed, so Denver will be on the road to start its quest for the Ray Miron President's Cup.
Tickets for the Cutthroats first home playoff game, date and time to be determined, are on sale now at Ticketmaster.com, or by calling 303-688-5297.
The Denver Cutthroats are the CHL affiliate of the NHL's Colorado Avalanche and AHL's Lake Erie Monsters. The team's 2012-13 season marks the return of professional hockey to the historic Denver Coliseum for the first time since 1989.

You might have seen articles recently on a case of a man with Google Glass addiction. It's been written about in the Guardian, BBC, Fast Company, io9, and many other places. They all refer (through each other) to an article to be published in the journal Addictive Behaviors. But if you look a little closer, and read the piece, you find there are both a couple striking details, and some background that makes this story less of a "wearables technology will eat your brain" cautionary tale than first appears.
First, the report comes out of a Navy Substance Abuse and Recovery Program (SARP) based in southern California. The patient was a 31 year-old man who had been wearing Google Glass for up to 18 hours a day for two months, and had to give it up when he entered the SARP program. He "noted significant frustration and irritability related to not being able to use the device during treatment," and even declared, "The withdrawal from this is much worse than the withdrawal I went through from alcohol."
But it gets even better:
He noted that when he dreamed during his residential treatment, he envisioned the dream through the device. He would experience the dream through a small gray window, which was consistent with what he saw when wearing the device while awake.
Finally, "When asked questions by the examiner, the patient… [would] reach his right hand up to his temple area and tap it with his forefinger," automatically turning to Glass to help him answer questions.
As a writer, I can recognize super-evocative details when I see them. The dreaming in a little screen, the complaints about being separated from it, the hyper-reliance on the device for everything—these are awesome details.
But before we jump from this patient to World War Z, it's worth noting a couple other things.
First, this was the second time he'd been through the SARP program, and the doctors note that
The patient has a history of a mood disorder most consistent with a substance induced hypomania overlaying a depressive disorder, anxiety disorder with characteristics of social phobia and obsessive compulsive disorder, and severe alcohol and tobacco use disorders.
So Google Glass didn't corrupt a previously-innocent mind; rather, this was someone who already had a lot of issues, technology addiction ranking kind of low on that list.
It's also worth noting that the authors don't really make the "man reduced to compulsively-clicking dopamine addict by the Internet" argument that you might see from someone channeling Nicholas Carr or Susan Greenfield. Rather, they take a more, well, clinical view of the problem, and relate it to other examples of addiction. In particular, they note that
Individuals consume alcohol for social motivations, as a coping modality, and for enhancement motives. Similarly, problematic use of technology, and in our case Google Glass, may be driven by similar motives for social motivations, as a coping modality to escape personal deficiencies, and for a desire to improve personal performance. In our patient, he exhibited all of these characteristics.
This is especially notable given that the patient told doctors that "Google Glass increased his confidence with social situations, as the device frequently became an initial topic of discussion."
I think we often talk about the Internet and information technologies as completely autonomous forces, like viruses or radiation: mere exposure is all you need in order to be affected by them. What the authors of this study are arguing is that it's more complicated than that: in reality, addictions have a social dimension, and they can be pushed along by other psychological issues.
That's what happened here. It's not that Glass literally rewired the patient's brain (it's a variant of what I call the vitamin theory of interaction), or that these changes are beyond our capacity to resist or change. Rather, like so many other addictions, it sounds it arose in someone who's fought other addictions, who used it as a coping mechanism, and got some extrinsic reward for doing so.

4 Year Old with Bladder Infection?
I think my daughter has a bladder infection. She couldn't pee before bed tonight because of the pain. I will start giving her 100% cranberry juice in the morning and I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions for the discomfort she has when she tries to pee. Also, are antibiotics absolutely necessary, as I would like to avoid them. Thanks!
So What Happened?™
Wow, thanks for all the advice! I know more about bladder infections then I ever thought possible. Seems I may have jumped the gun, though. In the morning she peed normally and there are no signs of an infection. I am thinking that she just needed a bath, we have a new baby and things are a little chaotic!

I wouldn't give her 100% cranberry juice. You would need to do maybe half juice and half water so it is not so strong. Push her to drink a lot of water as this will help too. She does need to see a Dr. as soon as you can get her in. Unfortunately bladder infections can cause worse infections in us females such as Kidney infections. They will only put her on antibiotic if it is necessary. Good Luck!!
T.M. answers from Salt Lake City on June 18, 2008
STOP! the cranberry juice. The little ones can't handle it, this is a help for adults not children.
You need to get her to the pediatrician immediately for antibiotics. Is she running a fever yet? You need to get her on antibiotics today, and pick up tylenol and motrin to have on hand. She may develop a fever even after you start her on the antibiotics. Give her tons of water, or gatorade would be better if she'll drink it.
Unfortunately I've dealt with many UTI infections with my 3 1/2 yr old daughter. The doctor's finally diagonosed her with bladder reflux a year ago and she now takes a low dose of antibiotic daily.
UTI infections aren't something to mess with. The kidneys are still developing and can be scared if the infections get too bad. And the cranberry juice is too concentrated for the kidneys at the young ages as well.
Kind Regards,

Hi M.,
Yes, antibiotics are necessary for bladder infections. Especially being so young. I would try and continue the cranberry juice, however, I would get hold of your doctor. A child's bladder is not something you should deal with, with out, a repeating episode where you know what you have done, and it has worked, until then, work with your doctor for her sake, and yours. Take care and Good Luck I will be praying for her.
I am so amazed by how strong you are. Congratulation in your births of your children, Do you home school also, or are you thinking about it when they are of age? Curious, I think it is awesome, your strength.

D.H. answers from Grand Junction on June 19, 2008
I get them all the time and the best thing that I have ever done is to take vitamin C. For and adult you take 2000 mg a day, but for a four year old I think that you should start with only ###-###-#### mg. It is a great thing to use because you cannot overdose on it. And since your body can't absorb that much vitamin C it flushes the extra out in your urine, making the urine so acidic that the bacteria can't live there. This is also good because vitamin C is not expensive. You could also try going to a health food store and getting D-mannose ( not sure if that's spelled right). It is the simple sugar found in cranberries that get rid of the bacteria but it is very expensive.

J.L. answers from Pocatello on June 19, 2008
There are some infections you can wait out, but a bladder infection isn't one of them. It can quickly and easily spread to their kidneys and cause irreparable kidney infections. Also, the worse the infection is and the longer it goes untreated the more likely it is that your child will have chronic bladder infections. It may seem that I am blowing things out of proportion, but my daughter has struggled with bladder infections since she was 3 years old; she is turning 9 next week and still has trouble.
Here are some notes we have learned on bladder infections over the years. Cranberry juice, even 100% cranberry juice, is not potent enough to treat a bladder infection. The sugar in it actually feeds the bacteria, and ALL cranberry juice has sugar; otherwise it is too tart to drink. You have to get cranberry extract supplements like Azo to do any good. Also, the cranberry extract is not a treatment for an active infection, but it can help prevent them. Once your daughter is free of her infection I would recommend having her take cranberry pills to help keep future infections at bay. Also, a high fiber, low sugar diet really helps. It keeps her insides from being more of a breeding ground for bacteria than absolutely necessary. Many bacteria that cause bladder infections are resistant to many antibiotics so after she is treated keep a close eye on her. She may have symptoms recur after a week or two. If she does, it's the same infection and you need to get a different antibiotic. This can happen over and over again like it did with our daughter. If it recurs more than once see a pediatric uroligist; pediatricians are just not good at treating stubborn bladder infections. If they persist they will do a VCUG and see if she has a physiological problem that is causing the infections. If she does they may recommend that you put her on an antibiotic long term. I would try to avoid a long term antibiotic unless absolutely necessary. There is new research that strongly indicates that long term antibiotic use, particularly for some of the antibiotics used for bladder infections, can cause Type I diabetes. My daughter is now a type I diabetic and I am sure that is what caused her diabetes. However, there weren't really any other options when she was 4. Now a child with chronic infections can have a procedure done called Deflux that is very simple, fast, and effective. Opt for that over long term antibiotics.
I know this is way more information than you wanted, but we have a long history of this and are just getting off of another set of infections so I have it on my mind now. Good luck! Also, I don't mean to scare you about the chronic stuff; your daughter will probably be fine. I just thought I would fill you in with some of the information we have learned over the years if it does end up being a problem.
K.D. answers from Denver on June 18, 2008
Cranberry juice is so harsh it may only make it hurt worse. It's great for preventing, not so great once the issue has arisen. I'd get her in right away to avoid serious complications. UTIs (Urinary Tract Infection) of any sort progress very quickly. Left unchecked, she could end up with her kidneys infected, which usually has life long consequences. When I was working, the doctors' advice was always come in at the first signs, difficulty going, burning, strong odor, dark color, etc.
S.S. answers from Provo on June 19, 2008
Danielle is so right. D-mannose is a natural wonder when it comes to getting rid of bladder infections. My husband is a paraplegic who has to use catheters to urinate, and tends to get bladder infections often. When he gets a one, we have him pop 2 d-mannose in water (it is not unpleasant) and the infection is gone, literally, overnight. I get it at our health food store. If they don't have it where you are,they are more than happy to order it for you. It isn't expensive- maybe $10 for a bottle that would last your daughter for 2 years. Three capsules in a quart of water (or juice) would probably suffice for a four-year old. Have her drink it all day long. The hurt when peeing is caused from sphincter contractions when she tries to urinate. One sure-fire remedy of yore is plain old watermelon. It flushes out the bladder lickety-split, dilutes the urine, and cleans things up. When the urine stays in the bladder, that's when the infections start. Kids love it, and you can have some fun with spitting the seeds together. Good luck. There are always alternatives!
K.D. answers from Fort Collins on June 19, 2008
Yes, antibiotics are necessary. I see here other responses have also stated bladder infections can lead to kidney infections. My daughter had urinary reflux as an infant and I learned right then the importance of treating bladder infections. Hope she feels better soon!

Heat lamps are incandescent lamps used for the primary application of generating heat. They come in a variety of wattages, voltages, and sizes.
Heat lamps operate on the same principles as regular incandescent lamps, but produce much more infrared radiation. This creates more radiant heat, and allows the heat lamp to be much more useful as a source of warmth than a regular lamp. There are two primary kinds of heat lamps, red lamps and frosted/clear lamps. They function identically in terms of heat production, but the red lamp is designed to produce less visible light and is more suitable for situations where both heat and darkness are important.
Heat lamps are used in applications where the generation of heat is of primary importance, such as in animal enclosures, food service, chemical and paint drying, and bathrooms. Heat lamps operate at much higher temperatures than regular incandescent lamps and should only be used in fixtures designed to prevent the risk of malfunction or fire.
Some heat lamps are also safety coated. Many safety coated lamps produce a trace amount of gas from the coating when burned, and this gas can be fatal to birds. Please heed all product warnings make sure your lamp is safe for usage around live birds and animals before using it in such applications.
That's why we make the process as easy as possible and pledge to never leave you in the dark when it comes to buying replacement bulbs and lighting accessories.
