Humanitarian and economic development assistance has long been an important component of U.S. global security strategy. Since 1962, the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) has managed more than $273 billion in such assistance. In fiscal year 2003, USAID estimates that it will obligate about $13 billion for assistance programs in almost 160 countries. In recent years, demands on USAID's budget and workforce have increased as the agency strives to meet emerging requirements, such as reconstruction efforts in Afghanistan and Iraq and increased funding for health programs. However, USAID officials have expressed concern that funds provided for its administrative or operating expenses have not kept pace with the agency's requirements. Since 1976, Congress has included a separate appropriation to consolidate USAID's operating expenses into a single budget item. Congress intended that USAID pay for the administrative costs of delivering foreign assistance (its "cost of doing business") from an operating expense account separate from its humanitarian and development assistance program funds. These operating expenses are costs incurred primarily for the benefit of the United States rather than the foreign assistance recipient. In accordance with congressional guidance, USAID reports all expenses related to the U.S. direct-hire staff as operating expenses and, based on its guidance on what constitutes the cost of doing business, other operating expenses--from rent to office utilities and supplies. In fiscal year 2003, USAID estimates that it will obligate $668 million for its operating expenses. We examined (1) trends in USAID's operating expenses since 1995 and (2) whether the charges to USAID's operating expenses account reflect the agency's actual cost of doing business.
According to date USAID reported, over fiscal years 1995 to 2003, USAID's total obligated operating expenses have ranged from a low $595.7 million in 1998 to a high of $654.8 million in 1995, and USAID estimates total obligations in 20003 will be about $668 million (in constant 2003 dollars). The largest administrative category in USAID's operating expense account is salaries and related support for U.S. direct-hire staff. Obligations for these expenses account for 43 percent ($277.7 million) of USAID's estimated operating expenses for fiscal year 2003. However, funds obligated for direct-hire personnel declined during fiscal years 1995 through 2001--from $302 million to $249.2 million--primarily due to declining levels of direct-hire staff during this period. But, in fiscal years 2002 and 2003, U.S. direct-hire personnel costs have increased over 11 percent. USAID expects these costs to continue rising as it continues its recent hiring efforts. Three other administrative categories--other staff costs, information technology, and rent--account for about 33 percent ($216 million) of USAID's estimated operating expenses for fiscal year 2003. Although these expenses varied from year to year, the net change in total from fiscal year 1995 was a decline of less than 1 percent. Between fiscal years 1995 to 2002, operating expense obligations as a percentage of program obligations remained fairly level--averaging about 8.5 percent. However, in fiscal year 2003, the operating expenses to program ration dropped to 5 percent due to large amounts of supplemental funding. USAID's operating expense account does not fully reflect the agency's cost of doing business primarily because the agency pays for some administrative activities done by contractors and other nondirect-hire staff with program funds.
Recommendation for Executive Action
Status: Closed - Not Implemented
Comments: No action reported by the agency.
Recommendation: To help provide increased visibility over USAID's operating expenses, better reflect what USAID, spends on program administration, and provide a more realistic accounting of the agency's cost of doing business, the USAID Administrator should identify all administrative costs that primarily benefit the United States--whether paid for with operating expense funds or program funds--and report this information to the Congress in its annual budget requests for operating expense account appropriations. Such an accounting should form the basis of USAID's annual budget request for operating expense funds.

Pune: India's adult education programme Saakshar Bharat Mission (SBM) has been cited as the perfect example for large-scale skills inculcation among adults to motivate learners by the Learning Curve 2014 report published by multinational-learning company, Pearson.
India's SBM will aid 70 million people to get literate by 2017. Launched in 2009, the largest adult-education programme in the world is a centrally sponsored scheme of the Department of School Education and Literacy, under the Ministry of Human Resource Development.
The Learning Curve 2014 report explores factors behind performance shifts in global education league tables, and the importance of 21st century skills. The new Pearson-published Global Index of Cognitive Skills and Attainment, compiled by the Economist Intelligence Unit, finds that South Korea, Japan, Singapore and Hong Kong hold top spots in overall education ranking, while emerging economies such as Brazil, Mexico and Indonesia end up at the bottom of the Index.
Alongside the new Index, Pearson has also published a new open data-bank of 2,500 educational, economic and social indicators for 50 countries (available on learningcurve.pearson.com). The data-bank draws on the global education studies - PISA, TIMMS, PIRLS – and combines them with national statistics on education, GDP, employment, crime rates, and other factors to create a comprehensive set of information for researchers and policy makers to draw on.
Managing Director, Pearson India, Deepak Mehrotra, shared that the Learning Curve report is a comprehensive source of education data and evidence and it has been made open and searchable for educators and thought leaders. "The research insights provide valuable inputs for the education sectors across the globe to compare, measure and use. This can help improve country-level educational systems and teachers, parents, governments and academicians can rely on data and evidence when making decisions," he said.
Chief Executive of Pearson, John Fallon said, "One of the most pervasive and endemic problems in education in just about every country is the lack of attention paid to skills provision. The Learning Curve brings together a growing body of evidence on what works in education."
Alongside the Index, Pearson has also published an in-depth report on the importance of skills in improving educational and economic outcomes.

Lubriderm Sensitive Moisturizing Lotion
- I've tried everything mentionable. Nothing had the effect like the inexpensive bottle of Lubriderm. Great stuff! Stops itching too.
- —Guest Rae
Fish Oil
- I did not feel much difference until I took liquid fish oil. Get top quality brands like Nordic Naturals or Carlson. They taste fine.
- —Guest HT
Dry, Cracked Heels
- I experienced cracked heels for the first time last summer. It did not help at all to exfoliate. What I did was use castor oil, yes, the stuff that people used to drink to be "regular." Well, it's the best moisturizer and it heals. I put it on every night, put on socks, then went to bed. I also put it on in the morning for a while before I went to work. It only took about a week and they were back to normal!
- —Guest Pat
Healthy Feet
- I bought a product fron O'Keefes called Healthy Feet and it has worked wonders on the cracked, split bottoms of my feet.
- —Guest Linda
- I take lots of fish oil as an anti-inflammatory so that likely has a positive effect on my skin that wasn't intended. I also find coconut oil to be wonderful, but the best moisturizer EVER has been squalane. It moisturizes beautifully and is absorbed by the skin in a few minutes without leaving any greasiness. I get the unscented kind.
- —Guest Anna
Elemis Skin Nourishing Milk and Lotion
- I work for the brand and have Grave's Disease (Hyperthyroidism)-- Milk having lactic acid (in this case goat's milk) and all eats up the dry itchy skin - whilst the nourishing lotion soothes and moisturizes --- keep the lotion in the fridge and add on cold if you are feeling hot, and need moisturizing relief!
- —Guest Guest Paula
Itchy Dry Skin Relief
- Safflower oil is a miracle product used not only for cooking, but works great on dry itchy skin. It's best to apply it right after you shower. It helped my skin tremendously.
- —Guest Aldys M.
Tarocco Nourishing Moisturizer
- I'm very sensitive to scents in lotions, most help to dry me out further and doesn't help my alergies either. A sample of Tarocco Nourishing Moisturizer at a hotel I stayed at in Palm Springs worked wonders. It is olive oil and blood red oranges, smells wonderful and is expensive but well worth it.
- —Guest Lonniew
dry skin relief
- I have fair, dry and extremely sensitive skin. I have tried hundreds of products over the years. The one that works best is Avon's Moisture Therapy. It may not be natural but it works better than anything else. I use Clinique products on my face.
- —Guest Vicki
My Own Formula
- A friend recently gave me a recipe for a homemade lotion and I like it pretty well. It is: 1 jar of Vitamin E cream, found at the discount store, approximately 5 oz. petroleum jelly, 2 bottles of baby lotion or non-alcohol-containing lotion. Put all contents in a large bowl and mix with a handmixer until light and fluffy. I also added a few drops of tea tree oil as a natural disinfectant to combat eczema. I still use Eucerin Plus lotion, and I also like Vaseline's Clinical Therapy lotion, but sometimes I need to have a little extra moisture and this lotion is light and non-greasy, and my skin stays soft all day and night.
- —kellydoodle
Dry Skin
- I love DHC products! I use the Olive Oil Wash also.
- —Guest Jean
Dry Skin
- Taking oil of evening primrose tablets every night really helps both my skin and my hair. I drink a lot of water and use Eucerin lotion or Amlactin lotion, I have to be very consistent and use daily after my shower when skin is still moist. I use Sensitive Skin facial lotion by Oil of Olay for my face and Dove soap in the shower. It is a struggle to keep soft skin.
- —Guest Michele
Olive Oil and Coconut Oil
- I use olive oil and coconut oil - I struggle with weight with hypothryoidism, and some believe the fats in lotions absorb inside you. I just use food grade olive oil and coconut oil and I'm nice and smooth. :)
- —Toni590
Shikai All Natural Hand and Body Lotion
- I use the Shikai All Natural Hand and Body Lotion and it is wonderful! Very rich, very healing. From one day to the next much of my dry skin has healed. I put it on around the clock as soon as it has gotten washed off. My favorite scent is gardenia, but there are many others.
- —Guest G. L.
Origins Reinventing the Heel
- I struggled with dry patches on my arms and legs and badly cracked heels -- nothing worked until I found Origins product called "Reinventing the Heel." It cleared up my painfully cracked heels in no time, and I use it on my arms as well. It's expensive unfortunately. But a little goes a long way.
- —Guest Bethany

Gehard Demetz
The Snow Comes From The Moon
9th November until 21st December 2013
Beck & Eggeling is proud to present the second solo exhibition of new works by the sculptor
Gehard Demetz (*1972). The vernissage will take place as part of the "Art in the Carlstadt"
weekend on Friday, 8th November at 7 pm, at Bilker Straße 4-6 in Dusseldorf. The exhibition is on
display until 21st December 2013.
The Tyrolean Gehard Demetz creates fascinatingly detailed sculptures and objects from
basswood. Particularly his figures of children, confronting the viewer with blank eyes and in
provocative poses, show his very own and strong artistic imagery. Most of the children are
endowed with different attributes in an oppressive way: A young pinioned boy holds a saw in
his hands, another raises his empty hands high above his head, wearing on his belt a cross like
a gun. Demetz's works question the value system of our society today, as the artist puts religious
symbols and everyday objects into new contexts, thus creating new meanings.
The exhibition also shows Demetz's ongoing artistic development by means of several
sculptural objects that enter into a dialogue with the children figures. These are based on
sacred objects, but are alienated by abstraction and contextualization.
The traditional craft of 'Herrgottschnitzerei', of great importance in his native South Tyrol, is the
starting point for Demetz's technical approach. In constant engagement with traditional
techniques and figures of the genre, the artist has developed a distinctive, contemporary
language. His sculptures are not created by removing wood from a trunk, but by assembling a
multitude of individual pieces. By consciously leaving gaps between these individual parts,
Demetz refers to the concepts of completeness, emptiness, and the fragmentary.
The title The Snow Comes From The Moon makes reference to the simplified explanations with
which adults answer children's questions. These satisfy the curiosity of the children, and when
they grow adult, they leave them greater room for interpretation than the actual scientific
explanation. Demetz says: 'In some stages of life, one misses this playfulness, fantastic, that can
often have something very true in my eyes.'
After studying at the school for sculptors in Selva di Val Gardena, Tyrol, Gehard Demetz
lectured at this school for ten years. He refined his training at the International Summer
Academy of Fine Arts in Salzburg in 2000 and 2001. In 2007, he received the Richard Agreiter
Art Prize for sculpture. The artist lives and works in Selva di Val Gardena.
Since 2002, Demetz's work has been shown in various solo exhibitions, for example at the
Kunstverein Recklinghausen in 2013 and at the Villa Wessel Museum Iserloh in 2008. They were
also represented in numerous group exhibitions, e.g. at the Fondazione Arnaldo Pomodoro in

With a progressive Internet penetration across Singapore, internet accessibility has been much easier for this developing country. As open source movement is making inroads into the governance and administration of Singapore, its impact for the growth and promotion of open access is corollary. Open access is slowly gaining momentum in Singapore, as National Library Board and academic universities are showing keen interest to have openly accessible resources. CreativeCommons Singapore is striving hard to bring more licensed content in Singapore through its concerted efforts. In fact, Singapore is a country having several universities that are sought after by a huge number of students all over the asia, especially India, Srilanka, Bangladesh, China, Indonesia, Malaysia etc. The good reason being the amount and quality of research work being carried out in these universities. With the invasion of the wonderful concept of 'Open Access' for the Scholars and Researchers and the extent of benefits that Open Access carries, Singapore has quite a long time ago embraced it and has quite good contribution to the World of OA in the form of Institutional Repositories in some of the well known Institutions in Singapore like the "Institutional Knowledge" at Singapore Management University, "Scholar Bank" at National University of Singapore, "Digital Repository (DR-NTU)" at Nanyang Technological University, etc.
Enabling Environment
The proactive policy of 'National Library Board' has enabled variety of resources openly accessible through various initiatives undertaken and its promotion & advocacy programmes are aimed to sustain these intiatives for international outreach
Potential Barriers
Open source adoption is relatively slow as reliability of open source applications is a cause of concern. More collaboration is required for making national initiatives in open access. The cyber infrastructure needs to be strengthened, and the funding policies should be made mandatory such that all the public funded research is freely available.

Hector L. (Northridge, CA): I read your FB post but I would like to know more about your thoughts on the pathetic officiating we saw in the Mares/Agbeko fight and what you think should be done in the aftermath?
Vivek W. (ESB): Honestly, it was thee most pathetic display of officiating that I've ever witnessed in my years. Not my years as a boxing scribe, or my years as a fan, but my
years......as in my entire life! It was absolutely horrendous and it left me sick to my stomach. Many fight fans become outraged when they see this because they want equality in the sport, which is great and bodes true for all of us, but the biggest problem I personally have with these type of situations is that it prevents an athlete who has sacrificed his life for the sport from receiving future pay days and opportunities that he has worked hard to earn. These type of mishaps literally take food from the mouths and clothes from the backs of the families of these athletes that fall on the shorter end of the stick and it has to be stopped.
A few months ago we saw the actions of the Williams/Lara judges cost them dearly. I said at that time that I hope it was [the] watershed moment for the sport where these officials are finally held accountable" and I sure hope it was. I hope Russell Mora is held accountable to the highest degree and I would go on record as to say that due to his out right defiant attitude, stating that the punches looked good after seeing video footage where they clearly weren't, I don't think he should ever be allowed to officiate another boxing match again because the biggest element of any official or judge is unbiased integrity and he proved to us all that he has none, which accompanies poor vision and apparently poor judgment. I truly hope that they make an example of him like they did the Williams/Lara judges and that the sport continues to shake the tree and remove all these 'bad apples'.
Now.....regarding Mares, I felt his performance was a decent one, but I loss respect for him as well after seeing him publicly state that the punches were clean, after video footage proved they weren't. I'm very big on integrity, and seeing things like this make me lose total respect for any man or woman. Timothy Bradley, Evander Holyfield, and many others were all men that I greatly respected who saw that respect fade immediately on the heels of this type of integrity lacking affair. Mares has made himself the latest fighter to add to this list. Some of his faithful will try to give him a pass on these fouls, but here's a little something for those ladies and gents to think about: Why do these
things ONLY happen in the fights?
If this was truly a natural tendency of a fighter to throw punches this low, wouldn't it also be happening in sparring where he trains specifically to iron out those type of elemental flaws? So my question evolves to this: If it's normal, why isn't it happening in training? And if it's not happening in training, how can it be categorized as anything other than intentional based on the fact that it's ONLY happening in the fights? We've never heard of this type of mishap from any of his sparring partners, current or past, so why is it continuously happening to the men he faces? And if it has happened in camp and we don't know about it, why hasn't his corner worked on this flaw? This reality makes Mora's actions even more sickening, because Mares acted as if he could not control it and the man who was supposed to opted not to.
Again, I lost total respect for Mora and despite his talent, Mares made me lose respect for him, as well. I wouldn't lose any sleep if Mora never officiated another fight and I wouldn't lose any sleep if Mares was stripped of his title, the Bantamweight trophy, and the victory, if not a retracted purse as well. Just my thoughts. Harsh to some.....but fair to all.
Miguel G. (San Francisco, CA): Who do you see winning a showdown between Nonito Donaire and Abner Mares?
Vivek W. (ESB): I think Abner Mares is a very skilled fighter. Good skills, good footwork, very good ability overall, but personally, I think Donaire picks him apart, maybe even easily. I like Mares' workrate and his shot selection, but he leaves himself open for certain punches that I think could pull the curtains on him if Donaire were to land them. Watching Mares down the stretch against Agbeko, there were times as early as the 8th round started to show signs of fading and left himself open for everything
from the jab, to the hook, to the cross, to the uppercut. Agbeko has a little looping to his punches, but Donaire is far more precise. Donaire would connect with more power and do far more damage. The toughest part of the fight for Donaire would be the early rounds.
If he stays in control through the 5th round, I sincerely think he'd coast the rest of the way, particularly if Mares starts out fast like he did against Agbeko. The more I analyze that fight, the more I think that could have actually been the reason that he faded late. Strategy would be very key for both men in this fight, but all things remaining equal, I like Donaire on the cards, maybe even late stoppage.
Marcus N. (Liberty City, FL): What are your thoughts on Kimbo Slices debut performance last Saturday night and how do you see him factoring into the sports heavyweight
Vivek W. (ESB): Short answer to your questions: Thoughts on his performance....exactly what I expected. How he factors into the sports heavyweight division? I don't. To
elaborate on those thoughts, I think it's funny how many fight fans have jumped on Kimbo Slice and attacked him for becoming a part of one of the sports most boring divisions. Hate to go here, but there are people that still think Iron Mike Tyson should come back! There's no one on the planet who's a bigger fan of him than I am, but
guess what, there's no way in hell I could sit there and try to watch him at this stage. Slice on the other hand is aged fighter, but still able to be competitive. Do I see him taking his dominance to the top? No. Not at all. But here's a plight to consider for all those guys out there who want to be critical:
Every single fighter in the sport is in it to make money. Some do it WITH pride, but they all do it FOR money. That's why they became prize fighters, not street fighters. Something else to add to that point is the fact that every fighter in the sport has an assigned matchmaker. What separates many who make it to the top from many who don't is the ability of that matchmaker. If prompted, we can all think of a few fighters who looked great until they faced someone their matchmaker never wanted them to face but it was a necessary evil because that matchmaker had done such a great job building the fighter up, they finally positioned themselves to cash in by facing a top dollar opponent who was well worth that risk from a monetary value standpoint.
My point is that similar to Holyfield and some of these other aged vets in the sport, as long as he can pass the physicals like every other fighter, and as long as solid matchmaking is available to position him for a big payday at some point, who are any of us to say he needs to pack it in and hang 'em up? My advice to anyone who feels that way would be to simply not watch. But despite the novelty and circus effect, I have no issues with his participation in the sport. I'd take him against a Klitschko any day over men with ability and no heart like we recently saw with David Haye. The one thing he needs to excite me as a fight fan most is the one thing he has: heart. He won't defeat the K-bros in his greatest dream, but I have no problem with his pursuit of greater happiness. Rawk on, Kimbo!
Luis I. (Chicago, IL): Is it true that scar De La Hoya is considering a return to the ring, and how do you see things working out if he does?
Vivek W. (ESB): Rumors have been swirling for a little bit now in the underground about a potential Oscar return and to be honest, he wasn't my favorite fighter in the
world, but I loved to watch the man fight because he wasn't gonna come to lay down. Oscar has one of those odd legacies that could use a little tweaking before it's all said and done. Despite his great reputation and the mega-watt smile, when you look at the bottom line numbers, ODH finished his career 0-6 against future hall of famer's who he faced while in their prime (Mosley twice, Hopkins, Mayweather, Pacquiao, & Trinidad). He has a number of other quality victories, but a few more won't hurt, and it certainly won't hurt the lining in those Versace laced pockets of his. Whether some want to see him return or not, there's two things that will make a return inevitable:
First.....his name recognition and promotional duties will keep him in contention as a big draw against any of today's bigger names in the jr. middleweight division. Call me crazy, but even with Emanuel Steward, I don't see him looking too bad against Miguel Cotto, and I think it's actually a fight he could steal on the cards under the right circumstances. Saul Alavrez in a huge showdown in Mexico? Very winnable fight for ODH, and it would do incredible numbers at the gates, maybe even sell out a stadium across the border. Shane Mosley in a loser goes home for good bout, anybody? Or how about Julio Caesar Chavez jr. in a first fighter to defeat a legend and his undefeated son battle? Comedy aside, there are fights that Oscar could not only make for big paydays, but also be competitive in to ensure more big paydays.
Remember the answer to the Kimbo Slice question ladies and gents: Careful matchmaking and an ability to pass a physical can take even the worst prize fighters to several prizes. Stay tuned.

I'm currently making a Warrior/Necro after hearing so much good about it. I want to use it primarily for farming but so far my soloing ability is not so outstanding. I seem to lose health faster than my healing signet and vampiric touch can keep up with. Well of Blood hardly gives you any health at all and is all but useless when your health is dropping rapidly. Same problem with life siphon.
Has anyone made a successful W/N for farming or should I just hurry to the desert and change my secondary to monk? (which I REALLY dont want to do)

1793 Half Cent, Remarkable AU 55 Preservation1793 1/2 C Bent Cap, Bunched Leaves AU 55 PCGS. B-2, C-2, R.3. The 1793 half cent holds an important place in U.S. coinage history. The first coin of this denomination to be produced by the Mint, this issue is also a coveted one-year type. Breen (Encyclopedia of United States Half Cents: 1793-1857) believes that the Philadelphia Mint prepared two obverse and three reverse dies for this issue between April and July, 1793. The obverse design was based on sketches prepared by David Rittenhouse, who in turn relied heavily on Augustin Dupre's attractive Libertas Americana medal of 1782. On July 20, the first 7,000 pieces were produced, followed by 24,934 coins on July 26, and a further 3,400 pieces on September 18. These deliveries totaled a mere 35,334 pieces.
The present variety is the second scarcest die marriage of this issue after B-1, C-1. Since Breen's (1983) Condition Census for B-2, C-2 includes three XF coins, the present Choice AU example easily qualifies for this important status. This is a remarkably appealing representative, and it is the finest 1793 half cent that we have offered in several years. Both sides are evenly toned in crimson-brown shades. The strike is both expertly centered and exceptionally bold. For accuracy, we note that the reverse is rotated several degrees clockwise in relation to the obverse. There are a few small abrasions on the obverse and green verdigris has gathered between some of the leaves in the reverse wreath, but we stress that the surfaces possess nearly unsurpassable eye appeal for the issue. A lovely coin that makes a significant contribution to the importance of this sale.
From the Bob Bisanz U.S. Type Set. (NGC ID# 2222, PCGS# 1000)

Are you looking for a position that brings new challenges and excitement on a daily basis? Are you a business area expert who embraces technology? Then you may be the perfect fit for our Business Release Manager position on the EDR Project Team. The EDR Project is made up of three design stages and nine releases that deliver major functionality across the enterprise. Each release can be described as a project in itself due to the complexity and level of effort to deliver. The first two EDR design stages focused primarily on; 1) PIT Tax Return and Payment Processing; and 2) PIT Correspondence Processing and TP folder development. The third release focuses on PIT & BE Return Analysis (also known as validation). The first two stages were foundational and now this third stage builds upon that foundation to generate over half of the $4.7 Billion dollar revenue goal with $1B revenue commitment annually thereafter. Under the direction of the EDR Business Director, the incumbent(s) are responsible for holistically managing the EDR releases to insure business areas are prepared to successfully implement, support, and maintain the new functionality and processes, as well as ensure the new functionality supports the business vision of the EDR project. The Release Manager will work through a matrix organization of peers and related staff within and outside the EDR Project Team. The Release Manager will coordinate each EDR release to insure the new deliverables are fully utilized and current processes are not disrupted. This includes, but is not limited to, working with the EDR Application Development Team, EDR Technical Architecture Team, EDR Business Implementation Team, EDR Testing Team, FTB Operations Team, and FTB Business and Process Owners and impacted staff throughout FTB.

Tell Us What Running Does For You
Speak Up: What Does Running Do For You?
by Susi May
Like us on Facebook
The New York Marathon is fast approaching, and I'm excited for Shalane Flanagan's debut at the distance. Running shoe giant Asics is one of the renowned race's sponsors and I am liking the sneaker company's new ad promoting the race.
We all know that no matter the distance, no matter the setting, running releases more than just sweat. When I'm pounding the pavement, I sometimes feel like the runner in this ad. I can almost see my negative thoughts, bad mood, and stress leaving my body. Does that happen to you? What does running do for you? Share your thoughts in the comments section below.

Running helps to clear my head. I try really hard not to think about work! It definitely is a stress reliever for me; if it's been a couple days since I've last run, I am restless and sometimes a little cranky. Since starting to run more, I care less about losing or maintaining weight because I'm so proud of what my body is capable of doing, especially while training for and after running my first half marathon. I have trained for 2 half marathons by myself and take pride in knowing that I made those half marathons happen all by myself.

I miss running as much as I used to. Right now I'm only running a couple of miles a week supplemented with the elliptical because of my ankle tendonitis. But what I do love about it is that it clears my mind and gets my aggression out. I always feel so fantastic after I get back from a great run.

Running makes me feel accomplished and strong. There's a sense of freedom that comes with running. I love the idea of being able to outrun zombies, too.

Running makes me feel free...but right now I haven't felt that way in over a month because I suffered a stress fracture. So currently, running makes me feel pain.

Running makes me feel beautiful, toned, healthy, and loved by my muscles....you know they are in there thanking all of us for working out so hard.

Right now this post makes me really depressed. Things have become very busy and involved with work and family and I'm only able to run 2-3 times a week.. I've definitely seen a shift in what I'm able to do. It's so frustrating to feel like you're out of shape or a slower pace is harder than normal. So sad. I miss the free flowing form/breath and the excitement of the last five minutes in the hour run. :( :( :(

Its different every run, sometimes I feel strong and confident. Other times I'm just trying to endure the pain and keep focused. But after every run, I feel really satisfied and relaxed.

I love running because it makes me feel strong, and the fact that I am the sole reason for being able to run mile after mile. I also love it because I can eat dessert almost guilt free =) and it keeps my weight in check.
TADOW 4 years
Running relieves stress because I can just zone out while I do it and that boost of endorphins really hits the spot. Running also boosts my self confidence and body confidence because I feel so accomplished and proud of my self and body, especially after completing a really intense run.
tlsgirl 4 years
It depends...sometimes it makes me lose toenails, sometimes it helps me get rid of stress, sometimes it makes me talk to myself to get through that last mile (I'm that crazy girl, I guess). It just depends on the day.

2013 Australian Open Final: (1) Novak Djokovic v (3) Andy Murray
A proper thread without Armstrong and Mugray nonsense.
Thanks you I will post on this one refused to vote on that one because some **** called the world number 1 armstrong
I just looked at the ranking points, and even if he wins, Murray will not only be behind Djokovic but also Federer. How could the number three player have two slams, the number two player one slam, and the number one player no slams? Crazy stuff.
I'd rather see Murray win, I think, but I'll be happy regardless. Both are going for a unique achievement. I hope we get a match as good as the one they played last year, which unfortunately I was not able to watch live.
Hard to pick against Djokovic, but I just have this feeling Murray will get it done. Don't ask me why. I couldn't explain it even if I tried.
I'll pick Djokovic as the 65-35 favorite. Djokovic in 4. And I have no idea who to pull for. I would've normally pulled for Murray but now I can't seem to care much about who wins. I'll just watch it without any support.
Murray in 4 sets.
You'd be a fool to bet against Djokovic but you never know if anyone can do it Murray can.
Prefer Djokovic, like him very much overall. Murray I am not a fan of, but unquestionably he is a truly great player.
Murray in 5 is my prediction. It will be yet another war.
Damn it zag, should have made it public. Y people no make polls public?
Murray in four or five.
It's a close call, slight edge to Djokovic if it goes to 5 perhaps, but then again, Murray is a physical beast now, he should be fine.
Going with Braveheart in 5 for the drama!
Very recently we have had:
Nadal reaching 8 out of 9 GS finals (from 2010 RG to 2012 RG, only failed in 2011 AO because of injury).
Djokovic reaching 8 out of 10 GS finals (from 2010 UO to current AO, only failed in 2011 RG and 2012 WB losing both times to Fed in the SF)
Of course Federer reaching 10 out of 10 GS finals at one point (and 8 out of 8 at another point, which gives 18 out of 19 GS finals).
Now Murray is playing his third consecutive GS final...
If Federer declines a bit more (because of age) and Nadal does not come back strong....we could have Djokovic-Murray GS finals many many times in the near future.
And some people still don't want to know that all this is totally related to homogenization of conditions in tennis...
I am not saying it is better or worse to have it like this (it depends on what every viewer prefers, I prefer variety and more than the same three players to be able to play GS finals, but other people may like to see the same players, all with basically the same style, in all GS finals all the time).
Thanks zagor. Much more civilised thread...
I think Murray in 4 or Noley in 5.
Now that Murray isn't slamless anymore, I'm rooting for him in the final.
And picking him in 5 sets so that Djokovic doesn't get too cocky.
I hope Murray can recover and keep his focus during the match. Due to the extra rest and the level he has been at throughout the tournament, I think Novak will create more opportunities and be able to take them, unlike what happened today. I think Djokovic will take it in 4, but a competitive 5 setter is what I'm hoping for.
Djokovic in 5. These days it's sort of hard not to assume their matches will go the distance.

The 2011 edition of Taste of Chicago is underway in Grant Park now through July 3. With some 59 vendors offering six items each, it would be a challenge for almost anyone to eat all the food that will be available. To help make your choosing easier, the Stew crew offers its Taste food faves.
"I'd encourage folks to sample bites from Lao Sze Chuan, which is new on the scene this year. Even better, go to the Chinatown restaurant in person for some of the best regional Chinese food in the city." – Lauren Viera
"I was excited to find out that my favorite restaurant, Loving Hut, is making its debut at Taste. I like almost everything they serve in their restaurant (minus the drumsticks), so I'll grab a Kung Pao Home Run Ball, after I get vegetable fried rice from my third favorite restaurant, Lao Sze Chuan. But there's no way I'm leaving the Taste of Chicago without a couple chocolate-covered strawberries from The Fudge Pot, too." – Shamontiel L. Vaughn
"Lou Malnati's has participated in every Taste of Chicago but the first one (at the time, Malnati's had just the Lincolnwood location and did not qualify as a city restaurant), and they still make every pizza, by hand, on site (I'll forgive their mixing and proofing pizza dough back at the shop). Let's hear it for tradition." – Phil Vettel
"If I hit Taste – and every year I do, preferably on, say, a Tuesday after work – I'm always sure to get a collard green egg roll from C'est Si Bon! Not exactly summer street food, but it's the only time of the year I go out of my way to eat one." – Josh Noel
"Alcapurria at Sabor Latino: Earthy and flavorful fried green plantain fritter studded with tasty pork. Chicken and waffles at Lagniappe Creole Cajun Joynt: Flavorful fried chicken marries beautifully with crisp waffle and syrup." – Monica Eng
"I have a very deep appreciation for the mustard-fried catfish at B.J. Market – it's one of the few things at Taste that retains a sense of personality. It's even fried well, and the fish is delicate. And that's rare at a sit-down restaurant." - Chris Borrelli
"Garretts popcorn booth for their ice cream sample." - Darcel D. Rockett
"My preference would be staying at home, but if I were forced to go out into the steaming humidity surrounded by 500,000 people, I'd skip the fried foods and go for a slice of cold watermelon from the Dominick's booth." – Kevin Pang
"I've never been a huge fan of the food at the actual Tuscany restaurant, but for some reason the toasted cheese ravioli is one of the best taste portions I've ever had at Taste. It is a must-try every time I'm at the Taste." – Matthew Wood
Ten @ 10: Favorites from Taste of Chicago

4 Arrested in Hoffman Death Investigation
Four people believed to be connected to the drugs found in Philip Seymour Hoffman's apartment were arrested late Tuesday night.
Four people believed to be connected to the drugs found in Philip Seymour Hoffman's apartment were arrested late Tuesday night.
Most of us have heard by now that acclaimed actor Philip Seymour Hoffman was found dead at the age of 46 of a suspected heroin overdose in his home in Manhattan Sunday.
I know there are much more important news stories but file this under "distractions".
Go figure that Sharon Osbourne would fancy someone so completely different from Ozzy.
Patrick Stewart demonstrates the "quadruple take", a highly difficult acting maneuver, especially while stoned.
Actress Eileen Brennan died Sunday in her Burbank home at age 80.
After three years of development, it seems the Freddie Mercury/Queen movie is stuck in limbo after the star, Sacha Baron Cohen, walked out on production.
The cover of Rolling Stone is usually reserved for rockstars, movie stars and other celebrities...but their August issue is raising some controversy.
I wanted to give a nod to the person I believe to be the funniest cartoonist on the planet, but in all good conscience, I could not use his work in my blog.
Ah, you silly Mets fans. Jimmy Fallon and Matt Harvey kill it in this excellent bit.
Ouch, that had to hurt, but Johnny Depp, doing his own stunts on the film set for "The Lone Ranger" was lucky not to have been trampled and suffering serious injury when he fell off his horse during shooting.
Like so many others, I was sad to learn that Jean Stapleton died at age 90 of natural causes on May 31st

Car bomb kills 4 in Pakistan, another defused
More News from Associated Press
ISLAMABAD—A car bomb aimed at a Pakistani Shiite politician missed him but killed four other people Tuesday, hours after police defused an explosives-laden vehicle near the house where ex-leader Pervez Musharraf is being held, in the latest signs of simmering unrest in the country.
Police in the capital were investigating how a car with a bomb inside managed to approach Musharraf's house. It was found parked about 150 meters (500 feet) from the main gate of Musharraf's house on the outskirts of the city, said Islamabad police chief Bani Amin. The former military strongman was home at the time.
Musharraf is being held under house arrest in connection with a case involving his decision to fire senior judges while in power.
Musharraf seized power in a military coup in 1999 when he was army chief but was forced to step down in 2008 because of growing discontent with his rule. He returned last month to make a political comeback, but his fortunes have gone from bad to worse since then.
He was met with paltry public support and a raft of legal challenges, including the case that has him under house arrest. He has been barred from running in the May 11 parliamentary election for which he returned.
On the eve of his arrival, the Taliban issued a video saying they had put together a special group of militants to kill Musharraf. He was attacked several times while he was in power, but he managed to escape unharmed.
The Taliban have targeted Musharraf because of his alliance with the United States in fighting Islamic militants while in power and for his decision to launch a raid in 2007 on a mosque in downtown Islamabad that had become a sanctuary for militants opposed to Pakistan's support for the war in Afghanistan. At least 102 people were killed in the weeklong operation, most of them supporters of the militants.
The car bombing in southwestern Pakistan on Tuesday hit Quetta, the capital of Baluchistan province. The bomber targeted Abdul Khaliq Hazara, head of the Hazara Democratic Party, said police officer Fiyaz Sumbal. The Shiite politician was not harmed, but four people were killed and 26 wounded, said Sumbal. The dead were two paramilitary soldiers and two passers-by.
Sunni Muslim militants in Pakistan have increasingly targeted minority Shiites, whom they consider heretics, especially in Baluchistan.
Elsewhere in Quetta, four small bombs exploded in different commercial areas of the city, wounding 12 people, said Sumbal.
In the southern city of Karachi, unknown assailants threw a homemade bomb at an election office run by the Muttahida Quami Movement, killing two people and wounding eight, police officer Amir Farooqi said. The party has been threatened by the Taliban in the run-up to the election.—Munir Ahmed

Hagel Nomination Could Face Resistance From GOP Over Israel, Iran
By editor
Originally published on Mon January 7, 2013 4:19 pm
President Obama rounded out his second term national security team on Monday. He nominated former Republican Sen. Chuck Hagel to be Secretary of Defense and chose counter-terrorism adviser John Brennan to lead the CIA. Already, Hagel has encountered opposition from some in the GOP who question his commitment to Israel, and Brennan is sure to face questions about his tenure at the CIA under President George W. Bush.

Bold-faced name alert: "A string of celebrities from the entertainment world are helping Obama raise campaign money in August and September: Bruce Hornsby, Luciana and Matt Damon, Jennifer Garner and Ben Affleck, Star Jones, Kal Penn, Mira Nair, Ellen Pompeo, Justin Chambers and Scarlett Johansson. Leon Fleisher, Yo-Yo Ma and Itzhak Perlman will perform at an Obama fund-raiser in Phoenix next month," Sweet reports.
Whose vacation is it again? "There has always been a fine line in politics between fame and success," Peter Nicholas writes for the Los Angeles Times. "According to the latest poll by the nonpartisan Pew Research Center for the People & the Press, nearly half of those surveyed said they are tired of hearing about Obama; about one-quarter said the same about McCain."
"Obamamania may be filling Barack Obama's campaign coffers and making him a global celebrity, but Americans are getting tired of hearing so much about him," Charles Hurt writes in the New York Post.
How conventional can we get? "In a presidential campaign billed as 'the maverick vs. the outsider,' this was supposed to be a different sort of election," John McCormick writes in the Chicago Tribune. "So far, however, the nastiness is just as intense as in previous contests, with tire gauges, pop stars and some choice adjectives being tossed about in recent days."
David Broder remains optimistic: "The first question I asked John McCain and then Barack Obama was: How do you feel about the tone and direction of the campaign so far?" Broder writes in his column. "No surprise. Both men pronounced themselves thoroughly frustrated by the personal bitterness and negativism they have seen in the two months since they learned they would be running against each other."
It's not just Democrats who are worried about their candidate. More advice from Karl Rove, in his Wall Street Journal column: "Mr. McCain must also make a compelling case for electing John McCain. Voters trust him on terrorism and Iraq and they see him as a patriot who puts country first. But they want to know for what purpose?"
Rove continues: "Mr. Obama has the easier path to victory: reassure a restive electorate that he's up to the job. Mr. McCain must both educate voters to his opponent's weaknesses and persuade them that he has a vision for the coming four years. This will require a disciplined, focused effort. Mr. McCain has gotten this far fighting an unscripted guerrilla campaign. But it won't get him all the way to the White House."
(But Rove likes the tire-gauge gag: "What is the president of the United States going to do, send out the tire police to make certain we all have inflated our tires to the proper level?" Rove said on Fox News Wednesday.)
McCain Thursday tries to get control of a damaging Ohio storyline: "Republican presidential candidate John McCain is taking up the issue of possible job losses due to the closure of a DHL shipping site in Ohio, the result of a corporate merger aided by his campaign manager during his work as a lobbyist," per the AP's Beth Fouhy. "McCain on Thursday was to discuss DHL's plans with local officials and others affected by the potential job losses."
