NATO mulls paying for Afghan forces after 2014
BRUSSELS NATO's top official said Friday that the alliance expects regional powers to contribute to a multibillion dollar fund to finance the Afghan army and police after they assume full responsibility for the war in 2014.
Since Afghanistan - one of the world's poorest nations - cannot foot the estimated $6 billion (euro4.6 billion) annual bill, NATO nations will have to pay the bulk of it. But austerity measures and budgetary cuts caused by the financial crisis in the United States and Europe are making it difficult to raise the money within the alliance.
Anders Fogh Rasmussen said he was appealing to the entire international community to help finance the force.
Asked whether he was specifically referring to China, India and Russia, he replied: "It's a call on the whole of the international community to contribute to financing the Afghan security forces because I think it is also in the interest of countries in the region to see a stable and secure Afghanistan."
"So my call on the international community also includes countries in the region," he said.
Fogh Rasmussen said defense ministers had also discussed the "sustainable size" of the future Afghan army and police, but that a final decision will be left to the NATO summit in Chicago next May.
The two-day meeting in Brussels of ministers from NATO's 28 nations and 22 other countries taking part in the war in Afghanistan is meant to pave the way for the Chicago summit.
The Afghan army and police are scheduled to grow to more than 350,000 members by 2014. But some have projected that the force can be safely reduced in order to reduce its costs.
"A reasonable number would be 230,000," French Defense Minister Gerard Longuet said after the meeting.
The Taliban insurgents are estimated to have about 20,000 armed men.
A related unresolved question that also will be taken up in Chicago is the number of U.S. and other foreign troops that might remain behind and what missions they would be assigned.
The debate on the costs of the Afghan security forces came after NATO allies agreed broadly on Thursday to step back from the lead combat role in Afghanistan and let local forces take their place as early as next year, a shortened timetable that startled officials and members of the U.S. Congress.
Longuet said Paris would start drawing down its 3,600-strong contingent in March, and expects the withdrawal to be completed by mid-2013.
U.S. Defense Secretary Leon Panetta caused a stir when he said that he foresaw American and NATO forces switching from a combat role to a support role by mid- to late-2013. He said this was a natural transition in line with the NATO goal, announced in November 2010, of having every Afghan province placed in government control by the end of 2014.
Until that remark, however, it was widely assumed that NATO forces would remain in the lead until the end of 2014, when most foreign forces are scheduled to be withdrawn.

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. (AP) — A 25-year-old Aurora man has been shot and killed at a shooting range in Colorado Springs.
Otis Freison was killed Saturday. Details of how he died at the Rampart Range shooting area have not been released.
El Paso County Sheriff's Lt. Lari Sevene says the shooting appears to have been accidental. She says Freison was shooting with friends and that CPR was performed, but the man died at the scene. Sevene says the shooting was possibly caused by someone clearing a weapon.

Here's a little breakdown of Chapman's outing.
Chris Duffy - 3 pitch K
Ozzie Chavez - Struck out looking on a 1-2 pitch
Dominic Brown - 3 pitch K
Andy Tracy - Struck out swinging on a 1-2 pitch
Duffy and Tracy for former big leaguers and Brown is one of the top 3 prospects in the minor leagues. IMO, that is Chapman's most impressive outing of the season.

In 1998, in response to their desire to incorporate a new paradigm for discovery and teaching by breaking down the barriers between the science disciplines, a Stanford University (CA) faculty group launched the campus-wide Bio-X initiative. Intended to facilitate interdisciplinary research and teaching, the Bio-X initiative brought together engineering, chemistry, physics, information sciences, biology, and medicine to enhance collaboration and promote research innovation. The Clark Center, a multidisciplinary research facility completed in 2003, was built to be the campus hub of Bio-X and knit the program together by giving it a central home. The building brought together in a single location faculty from the Schools of Humanities and Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine. Careful thought was given to the design of the Clark Center to ensure it supported the specific needs of the interdisciplinary and collaborative research the building would house. The signature principles of its design are flexibility, adaptable floor plates, adjacent scientific and social spaces, and visual openness across and between floors.
The last decade has witnessed a logarithmic growth of collaborative, multidisciplinary, and interdisciplinary approaches in research among biology, physics, chemistry, and the material sciences. This confluence of disciplines and the interrelated nature of the problems to be solved have convinced most scientists, including those who initiated the Bio-X initiative, of the importance of increased interaction between basic science and engineering, and the intertwining of research. The brilliant individual thinker is still an important ingredient to scientific progress, but collaborations among multiple talented people are considered to be even more essential to future discovery and innovation. Corporations and institutions are looking for ways to increase scientific collaboration within their organizations. It is clear that carefully considered lab architecture can help foster and increase this desired collaboration among its occupants.
Unlike traditional lab buildings, which are broken up into many enclosed labs, Stanford's Clark Center was one of the first to have large, shared, open labs with few walls (Figure 1). A building with open labs was needed to support the varied requirements of the research cultures that would be working together side by side. To enhance the openness and flexibility, all utilities are distributed from the ceiling, with a suspended framework carrying them to the bench or workstation and terminating with quick-disconnect connections. To address the casework and workstation requirements of the different types of sciences working together, the facility uses interchangeable, modular, and flexible "kit of parts" elements on wheels. The wheels and quick-disconnect ability allow the casework to be moved and rearranged fairly easily, promoting the mixing of different research groups and encouraging the blurring of boundaries between individual labs. As an investigator's research changes or as new projects begin, the laboratory can be adapted without major modifications, and is flexible enough to allow new ways of working together.
Figure 1 - Stanford's Clark Center open lab.
The desire of the Bio-X founders was to have the Clark science labs open for people to view, to engage both the building residents and the entire Stanford campus. Rather than having internal corridors, the primary circulation consists of open balconies ringing the exterior walls of the building. Inside the labs, researchers can look through the fully glazed walls into the inner courtyard, viewing other laboratories and the connections and bridges to adjacent wings (Figure 2). It was predicted that the views into the lab would engage students, researchers, and visitors as they passed by on the balconies. The large, open labs allowed multiple lab groups to co-locate together, encouraging researchers to see what their neighbors are doing. Additionally, a major campus circulation path goes through the courtyard, encouraging the greater Stanford community to interact with the Clark Center residents and see science in action.
To increase the potential for new intellectual directions, the Clark Center has blended the scientific disciplines that have traditionally been housed in separate buildings. The success of the Bio-X collaborations depends on a community of varied scientists and scholars working side by side, each with an active interest in collaboration across traditional boundaries. It is the remarkable flexibility of the building infrastructure that accommodates the diverse laboratory needs required to put together scientists whose work ranges from "dry science" to "wet science."
Figure 2 - View of the Clark Center's inner courtyard.
It is acknowledged that significant interaction among scientists happens outside the laboratory. A short walk away from the lab to get coffee or lunch increases the possibility of chance encounters that might lead to breakthrough collaborations. The design of the Clark Center has two places to gather for food and drink: a full-service restaurant located off of the courtyard seating 240 people, and a more intimate branch of a local coffee shop on the third floor. The restaurant was purposely designed with long tables in the "beer hall" style to encourage people to mix together when eating rather than sitting in small groups. The coffee shop was purposely located on the third floor to draw people up through the building and along the balconies, past the windows into the labs.
Starting from the project's initial days, a culture of sharing was encouraged, not only to save space but also to provide opportunities for researchers from different groups to come together. It was hoped that the dialogue and negotiations that come with sharing resources and equipment would lead to researchers joining together for collaborations. A wide range of core facilities and shared equipment were purposely located throughout the building to create opportunities for interaction among the different lab groups and act as a magnet for Bio-X scientists campus-wide.
Almost 10 years after the opening, the lab planners of the Clark Center returned to ask its residents if the Bio-X aim of collaboration among the different scientific disciplines had been successful. Users of the building said that having a flexible facility that allows the mixing of different types of science has proven to work. The Clark Center has attracted a very wide range of scientists who are interested in interdisciplinary bioscience research, and who are eager to collaborate with each other.
Matthew Scott, Professor of Developmental Biology, Genetics, and Bioengineering, said that shared facilities and resources help keep scientists more in touch with each other, and that familiarity helps fuel their collaborations. Scientific resources at the Clark faculty's disposal include a lengthy list of shared equipment located in individual labs as well as in core facilities such as the Imaging Center, Biofilm Laboratory, and Supercomputer. The Clark core facilities are available to the entire Stanford research community and have proven to act as magnets, drawing other scientists to the building. Heideh Fattaey, Bio-X Programs, said the need to use equipment either in other labs or in a core facility gave researchers a good excuse to leave their own labs and mix with others. She also said the success of equipment sharing at the facility should be based on extensive planning and thought on how the equipment would be used and maintained. She commented on how well the core facilities were managed, which greatly contributed to their popularity.
In the late 1990s, when the Clark Center was being designed, open, shared laboratories were a somewhat radical idea at Stanford. Now, the open lab planning concept is accepted, and for the right scientific group, has proven to work very well. Tom Wandless, Associate Professor of Chemical and Systems Biology, said his open lab and shared lab have turned out to feel much better than his former enclosed labs, and indicated that it would be difficult for his lab group to go back to them. He said they like how the lack of walls lets them see and learn what their neighbors are doing. This familiarity gives them a sense of community and lets them bond with the people in other lab groups around them. In a sense, they are all working together.
The central gathering spaces were put into the building program to encourage interaction and informal meetings among the scientists. When visiting the building, it is obvious how well used they are. At lunchtime, the restaurant is packed to capacity, with diners spilling out to the courtyard and lawn on fine days. It is not only the restaurant's design that contributed to its success, but also the high-quality, well-priced menu. The reasonable cost ensures that students can eat there often, and the quality of the food ensures that most people don't leave the facility for meals. It is at the central gathering places that the chance encounters outside the lab can happen and that can lead to collaborations. The designers were told that from a three-minute conversation at the coffee shop, a new path to a potential cure for a disease can be conceived.
From its early inception, a major goal of the Clark Center had been to be a "window onto science," permitting passersby to see into the labs and watch people at work. The open laboratories' exterior walls were designed with large expanses of glass, and the lab support room doors were given large windows. The expansive view allows people to see and connect with their colleagues passing by, and even to spot them a considerable distance away. The ability to see people has proven to generate excitement, not only for people sitting by the windows but also for the people working deeper in the lab.
The architecture of a lab building can support collaboration insofar as it can support a sense of community among the people working in it. Clark Center scientists indicated that the feeling of being part of the "Clark community" was a major factor in fostering their collaborations. Although the building's design elements proved to be highly successful, it was the management of both the Bio-X program and the building itself that truly facilitated success. With the proper stewardship, along with a well-designed building, collaborative science can flourish.

The birth of a child is one of the most special times in many people's lives, but for some it can also be a confusing time.
Kimberly Thompson says she's looking forward to having her first child, but with about 4 months to go she also has a lot of questions.
"I just want to educate myself on what I can do to make the birthing process easier for me and my baby," Thompson said.
So she decided to sign up for the upcoming childbirth classes at Harlan A.R.H.
"I feel if they come to child birth classes that they can get the education such as being prepared," Nurse Susie Clark said.
Nurses Susie Clark and Shirley Browning will be teaching the classes and Browning says the education might not just ease the minds of expectant mothers, but the pain as well.
"So they won't be so afraid of the unknown. If they're really scared they're more tense and the pain is more intense," Browning said
Now Kimberly Thompson is looking forward to the series of classes that she hopes will make her journey to becoming a parent a bit easier.
Child birth preparation classes at Harlan ARH begin next week and they are free to everyone, even women not giving birth there.

Publishing system for Cricket World Cup stats
BBC Global News and BBC Sport
We designed a production system and new video format for 2015 Cricket World Cup match wrap-ups.
The format was devised as a set of modules that could be chosen and sequenced as needed, depending on what interesting events took place that match day.
We designed a video format that their in-house designers could use every day to create stat-based match summaries. The result is a flexible set of tools that can be chosen based on what interesting events happened in any given match. This styleguide shows the range of templates created.
As well as going out on BBC World News, the graphics went on the BBC Sport website as daily catchups on the action.
Because we made each film in small chapters, these units could be placed in social feeds as indiviual 'atoms' or as full films.
A key feature of Howzstat is the use of photography from the day's events, allowing the BBC Sport team to place the statistical data in the context of human events and sporting drama.
Howzstat takes full advantage of the expressive possibilities of motion graphics, revealing graph legends over time rather than showing all the information on screen at once.
The format has tools for displaying the important data automatically along with features for highlighting key moments. Here we used a visual pun referencing a common cricket chart type, the 'worm chart' (the line chart of cumulative runs).
In any sports data project, we look to present information that fans actually talk about. BBC Sport were also keen that we created a palette of visualisations that could support the specific stories in the game that they wanted to tell. Our content planning process starts wide with lots of ideas and then focusses them into consistent formats. All day long, we are looking to maximise any important facts by highlighting or annotating key stats as well as engaging with images from the game itself.
The After Effects templates were handed over to production teams at BBC Sport. We spent time making sure they were easy to use.

CARSON, Calif. -- LA Galaxy head coach Bruce Arena addressed the media after the club's 6-0 win over the Colorado Rapids.
(On the emotional game for the LA Galaxy...)
ARENA: "We think the world of AJ [DeLaGarza] and his family. It's a difficult moment, so our thoughts are definitely with them. It was emotional. He's a person that we all care about. He's such a great person. Him and his wife. It's awful difficult to be in that position. We feel his pain, and we will be as supportive as we can be for AJ and his family. Certainly, our thoughts were with him tonight. It's certainly it was a game we wanted to win for him."
(On Baggio Husidic's performance...)
ARENA: Very good game. Baggio is a very good player. He's played very well over the past couple of weeks. Those were big goals tonight.
(On the defensive injuries...)
ARENA: Our injuries this year have really been in the back. We are just hanging on with bodies right now. We are getting James ready, but it's still a little early for him. We wish we would have been able to get him some Galaxy II games, but it's past the deadline to get him on the roster. We are just going to have to work him in through training and hopefully some game time
CARSON, Calif. -- The LA Galaxy are in mourning after the loss of A.J. DeLaGarza's newborn son and club president Chris Klein insists that the team will continue to support him and his family in their time of need.
Klein spoke to reporters ahead of the Galaxy's match with the Colorado Rapids on the ways in which the team was honoring Luca.
(On when A.J. will return to the field...)
KLEIN: It's entirely up to him, kind of the speed with what he does. Bruce has been great with him and defers to him with whatever he's comfortable doing.
(On how A.J. is doing...)
KLEIN: I don't know that I could put myself in his shoes. And know what it is that he and Megan were going through and have been going through, not only last week but the last couple months. AJ is a very tough kid, but you can't prepare yourself for going through something like this. All we could do is come around him as his extended family and support him as best as we could.
AJ was at training this week, through this has been a release for him to come and be around the guys. This week, we've had people talking to him consistently.
(On Rapids coach Pablo Mastroeni wearing the armband...)
KLEIN: It's not only Pablo but to see the support from players, from teams in our sport and other sports to se the reaction and how other people set everything else aside and come to the support of one family. It's been incredible. I don't know that AJ has seen all of it, but even to sit and look at it all has been something pretty cool. Pablo is part of our family as well, and AJ is someone that everyone likes. To have that is pretty amazing.
(On if the match is an emotional one...)
KLEIN: It is. Anytime you have a teammate that's going through something it's emotional, but to have someone like AJ who has been a part of us for so long and to have this group that's so close is something you can't describe. The guys are going to be emotional. You saw last week and I think you'll see it again tonight.
(On the plan to honor DeLaGarza with cheers at the 20 minute mark...)
KLEIN: whose idea I don't know. It is cool. Things just started to come out. We don't have the right words to say, but anything we can do that our supporters and fans can do to support AJ and his family.
CARSON, Calif. -- The LA Galaxy will take the field against the Colorado Rapids with heavy hearts after the passing of A.J. DeLaGarza's newborn son Luca on Thursday.
The Galaxy will be holding a moment of silence pregame for Luca DeLaGarza while also wearing black Luca inscribed armbands during the match.
More on the game itself below.
*LA Galaxy forward Landon Donovan was named MLS Player of the Month for the month of August on Friday.
*Brian Perk is scheduled to travel to Sacramento with LA Galaxy II for their upcoming match against Sacramento Republic on Saturday meaning that goalkeeper Brian Rowe appears to be the safe bet to get the start against the Rapids.
*Alan Gordon told LA Galaxy Insider earlier this week that he's approaching full fitness, but is unlikely to be 90 minutes fit. With that in mind, Galaxy head coach Bruce Arena spoke to forward Chandler Hoffman earlier in the week stating that he'll be likely used off the bench in an effort to spell Gordon if he is unable to go the distance.
*LAGalaxy.com's Larry Morgan noted in his preview that Rowe is likely to start and reported that Stefan Ishizaki is nearing his return to the field after missing the last several matches with a lower body injury.
*In the latest "By The Numbers," we look at Gyasi Zardes' incredible summer that saw the forward score 15 goals in 17 games.
GYASI ZARDES AND ALAN GORDON vs. COLORADO DEFENSE
Alan Gordon was once part of San Jose's "Bash Brothers," but could we bill his new partnership with Gyasi Zardes as "Thunder and Lightning?" With Zardes' speed balancing with Gordon's brawn, expect the pair to be a handful for the battered Colorado defense.
DESHORN BROWN vs. LEONARDO
The oft-maligned Leonardo got all that he could handle from the speedy Brown in the first half of the Galaxy's 4-3 win over Colorado last month, but the big Brazilian will need a much stronger performance -- like his second half showing -- if he's to prevent the Jamaican from terrorizing the Galaxy back four.

CARSON, Calif. -- The LA Galaxy will seek to keep their winning streak alive against the Colorado Rapids on Friday.

Pre-Requisite: Architecture 5609-001 Seminar, Spring 2015 (3 Credits) Non-UVa students should review options for preparation with Program Director, Peter Waldman.
Tuesday 6-8:30PM, Room TBD
June 21-August 01, 2015:
Architecture 5011-501 International Summer Studio (6 Credits)
Architecture 5607-501 Summer Design Research Independent Work (3 Credits)
Pankaj Vir Gupta, In Country Director, Shure Professor 2014-2016
Peter Waldman, India Program Director 2014-2016,William R. Kenan Professor of Architecture
Project Sites: 2014 Haus Khas Village/ 2015 Yamuna River Waterfront/ and 2016 the Delhi Metro System
Eligibility: Third year Undergraduates and Graduate students at any level in the School of Architecture.
Pre-conditions: We will be burnt by the sun and drenched by the rain, stained by dung and turmeric, inhaling incense and cremation ashes, as we will seek to be more often lost rather than found, in suspension some call ether in the moment, and for some infected for a lifetime. India has many thresholds, more than one good window I attest, and the subject of constant renewal. The term re-entrant is spatial and temporal, an architectural term for a corner, and a philosophical term of a state of fluctuating ethers and aura, certainly transcendentalism. India has been since the beginning of civilization the land of the most far-sighted scientists, who we in the west interpret as the work of magicians.
Structure: Spring Seminar/Summer Studio / Concurrent Independent Design Research with Faculty The curriculum would commence with a Re-Entrant India Seminar this Spring 2014 for 3 credits taught with Pankaj Vir Gupta and faculty from the three other departments, and continue Summer Term 2014 for 4 weeks in India and 2 weeks back in Campbell Hall for an additional 6 credits for studio and 3 credits for independent work to develop materials for exhibitions, symposia and publications.
From Pankaj Vir Gupta:
From the Imperial capital planned by Lutyens and Baker, to the capital of Independent India, and the present circumstance of a "mega-city" encompassing the National Capital Region (Delhi, Gurgaon, Noida, Manesar etc.), much of New Delhi's present circumstance is characterized by haphazard planning, unauthorized settlements (hurriedly legalized in time for election cycles), and inadequate infrastructural planning. There are gross areas of neglect such as the Yamuna waterfront, Delhi's diminishing natural forest preserves, depleting local water bodies etc.
The development and introduction of the Delhi Metro has been a significant infrastructural intervention, facilitating new links and mobilities between disparate sections of the sprawling capital. Yet, the full urban design potential of this intervention - its great potential to support innovation in planning, landscape, urban and architectural solutions for the city - remains largely unexplored.
Most of the rapid development of this capital city has been "outsourced" to private developers, without fully engaging in a "design audit" of the consequences of this scale and manner of construction.
Large areas of the city are still under government control, yet a comprehensive evaluation of the equitable potential development of this invaluable asset remains unexplored.
I would propose to direct a school wide engagement, aiming for an ambitious and comprehensive three-year enterprise with faculty and students from the Planning, Landscape, History and Architecture departments.
The first priority would be the creation of a Research Document assimilating all available data on land use, zoning, land ownership, transport networks, energy / water / sanitation infrastructure, and identification of cultural, social and commercial patterns evident in the city.
The second priority would include identification of templates for streamlining zoning, creating a systemic overlay for a renewal vision encompassing population growth, re-zoning, and proposing paradigms for land-use in sync with the Delhi Metro and other infrastructural upgrades
The third priority and most critical perhaps would be the development of a series of 'enabling proposals' - design mandates encompassing new planning frameworks, landscape propositions, and urban / architectural design proposals that would exemplify the possibilities of envisioning FUTURE DELHI –an urban concentration of population, resources and technology organized by intelligent design.
I'd propose establishing a series of local partner affiliations: with CEPT University, with the Municipal Corporation of Delhi, with the Ministry of Urban Development, with the Aga Khan Foundation etc.; in creating this great synergy between the scholarship and resources of the University of Virginia School of Architecture and the metropolis of New Delhi, a significant work of design research and scholarship would be initiated…unprecedented in the terms of scale and scope, but with tremendous potential to launch a fertile and expansive agenda for other Future Cities across the globe.
From Andrew Mondschein, Assistant Professor of Planning and Environmental Negotiation:
India's cities are transforming themselves to accommodate massive growth in population and economic activity. The nation is investing trillions of rupees into transportation infrastructure to address critical mobility and access challenges. At the same time, planners, designers, and engineers must find a way to increase flows of people and goods while ameliorating significant environmental and social impacts from the current transportation system. Current plans in cities like Delhi prescribe more of everything – rail, bus, highways, rickshaws, bikes, sidewalks – but the balance remains uncertain. We can and will ask many questions about the parameters of an efficient, equitable, and sustainable transportation system, and how it shapes and serves constantly expanding urbanization:
· Mobility for whom? How do we supply access to not just to middle and upper classes, but the breadth of Indian society, affordably?
· -Do current Metro plans rein in or promote sprawl? How can the Metro support sustainable densification?
· -What systems and modes work best in a place where regulation and enforcement are minimal? Can a system self-regulate?
· -What does resiliency mean in Delhi? How do we link these complex systems to make the system functional on "normal" days and under stress?
· -As the city's "public realm," can Delhi's transportation system be integral, integrating part of its social and cultural life?
· -What are the solutions at regional, neighborhood, and site scales?
We will tackle these questions through infrastructure and facility design, regional and local planning approaches, and the development of strategies and policies that get the balance right. The program is an opportunity to use field work, analysis, and design to tackle some of the most fundamental challenges to cities not just in India but worldwide.
Length of Program: Summer, 4 weeks in India + 2 weeks in Charlottesville
Eligibility: Undergraduates and Graduate students at any level in the School of Architecture, including non-UVA students.
Number of Credits: 6 credit Studio, 3 credit Seminar
Internship: Possible post-program internship in Indian firm
To apply to program:
Applications are made through the International Studies Office website; search by program name, city and/or country.
"India is a sensory experience more than anything else, and Architecture is experienced primarily through the senses. Removal from one's comfort zone is the only means to understand this." Ryan Carbone, Master/ARCH, Dec. '14
"Unlike programs focused within Europe, the India program positions students to confront and work within a place which is constantly in flux, yet rooted in thousands of years of rich cultural and built history. This allows us to not only learn from an immense history, but to imagine how architecture can truly affect people and place, both today and into the future." Sarah Karpinski, Master/ARCH, Dec. '14
Program Director: Peter Waldman

When you are looking for right fitness and diet information, it can be quite perplexing to judge the appropriate fitness program for you out of virtually unlimited advices on losing weight over the Internet. These programs seem to be very tempting due to the claims of science behind the diet and fitness theories but soon after starting the program you realize the ineffectiveness of such claims.
Unfortunately, you might get disappointed to find that even after each day researching for hours on various diet theories you are unable to get the perfect diet plan that you can depend on.
Really speaking, the theoretical process of weight loss is quite simple. All you have to do is create an energy deficit by consuming less and burning more calories. Although, you have to support this process with certain activities, but that doesn't complicate the theoretical contract at all.
Click here to watch a video of exactly why The Venus Factor Diet works
So, the best approach is to look back at the basics of weight loss:
- The first basic requirement for effective weight loss is that you have to consume fewer calories than you burn during the routine activities. No fitness program can give you results if you cannot manage your food intake and consume more calories than required. The occasional cleanses or the so-called healthy foods are not going to help you remove excess weight. Eating fewer calories is the key to your weight loss regime.
When you need to efficiently manage your diet, the Venus Factor provides the excellent choice, and I have already reviewed the program for you. The support provided by virtual nutritionist ensures that you can go on the weekly diet schedule without any slightest chances of crashing.
- Physical activity is the second basic parameter defining the success of your weight loss. The modern society is blessed with technologies that create comforts in lifestyle taking away the physical activities. If you are really serious in losing weight, you have to move. You can even start by walking only five minutes in alternate days.
When you are ready for your extensive exercise regime, you can opt for the recommended Venus 12 week full fledged workout program, and you don't have to look anywhere else.
- The patience is the third basic parameters that become extremely important to keep you motivated in your fitness regime. The body of different people responds differently and there are always some specific limits of physical exercise for each person. Any attempt to push your body beyond the sustaining capacity will create the risks of injuries or crash creating the situations of rebound weight gain. You must acknowledge the physical capacity of your body and plan your workouts accordingly. Your patience in accepting the pace of your body will bring results by improving your physical stamina and reinforced weight loss.

Patience is something that depends on your personal attributes. The temptation to get quick results are always there and the very idea of having patience in weight loss might create frustrations. However, you cannot do everything in a single day, and it will take time to get the desired results.
You have to work with commitment to get desired results, but it doesn't mean that your routine workouts should affect your daily life. If it does so, that means you are pushing too hard to get quick results. You have to plan your fitness program in such a way that it allows you the freedom to participate in social events, enjoy your favorite food, including some delicacies and still deliver the results. Any restrictions to your freedom or routine life are an indication that you are getting impatient to push yourself too hard.
In another post I did a full rundown on What is included in The Venus Factor System
Your weight loss regime should maintain a very balanced approach to life, incorporating the three basics of weight loss as described above and the process will reward with stunning results at the pace your body and life supports.

Prague, Czech Republic (SportsNetwork.com) - Alejandro Bedoya netted the only goal of the match on Wednesday as the United States men's national team earned a 1-0 victory over the Czech Republic in an international friendly at the Generali Arena.
With the 2014 World Cup in the rearview mirror, manager Jurgen Klinsmann's squad looked vastly different from the squad that featured in Brazil back in June.
Most of the regulars were left off the squad in favor of trying to usher in a new era of U.S. soccer based on youth with an eye toward the 2018 World Cup, which will be contested in Russia.
Clint Dempsey, Michael Bradley, Kyle Beckerman and Jermaine Jones were all left off the squad on Wednesday, as well as goalkeeper Tim Howard, who is taking a one-year break from international competition.
In their places were young players Julian Green, John Brooks and goalkeepers Brad Guzan and Nick Rimando filled in for Howard, while Klinsmann handed international debuts to forward Joe Gyau, defender Greg Garza and midfielder Emerson Hyndman.
The home side had the better of the play early in the first half as they worked toward the upcoming European Championship qualifiers and the first quality chance came in the 19th minute.
Petr Jiracek did well to send Ladislav Krejci in behind the U.S. defense down the left wing and he sent a low cutting ball across the face of goal, but it was cleared away by Brooks with an excellent sliding block.
The Czech Republic had another stellar opportunity on the counter-attack in the 33rd minute as Arsenal man Tomas Rosicky got clear down the left wing and sent a low ball to the far post hoping for a tap-in from Vladimir Darida, but Darida couldn't get his toe to the ball and it rolled out of play.
The goal materialized in the 39th minute through a bit of sloppy play by the home side.
Goalkeeper Petr Cech played the ball out to Darida in the middle of the pitch and he was caught in possession by American midfielder Mix Diskerud, who set sail toward goal and let a strike go from the top of the box that was stopped by Cech, but Bedoya followed the play well and slammed home the rebound.
The second half brought the introduction of defender Tim Ream to Klinsmann's side and Rimando took over in goal for Guzan, while Garza, Hyndman, Brek Shea and Alfredo Morales also entered the fray.
The Czech Republic began to take control of the match in the second half and had several opportunities to find an equalizing goal, but Rimando made several quality stops to keep the home side off the score sheet and get the new World Cup cycle off to a positive start for the U.S.
The Stars and Stripes will take the pitch again on Oct. 10 in a friendly against Ecuador in East Hartford.

Spain's Marc Marquez wins MotoGP U.S. Grand Prix
Jul 21, 2013, 7:59 PM EDT
At 20 years and 154 days old, Spain's Marc Marquez became the youngest back-to-back winner ever in the MotoGP motorcycle series with his victory in today's United States Grand Prix at California's Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca. Marquez, who suffered a crash during qualifying on Saturday, made the race-winning pass on pole sitter Stefan Bradl of Germany at Lap 19 and went on to take his third win of the MotoGP season by 2.2 seconds.
"Before I came here, I was expecting to struggle more," Marquez told the series' official website. "From the TV, this circuit looked so tricky. Since FP1, I have felt so good. Next time I'll be able to learn where all of the bumps are and everything – yesterday, I found a new bump, when I crashed at Turn 6! Anyway, today in the race, it was so good.
"At the beginning, with a full fuel tank, I was little bit scared because – with all of those bumps – it's so easy to lose the front. I overtook Valentino [Rossi] then caught Bradl; I stayed behind him for about 12 laps, then tried to pass him to open up a gap. I'm very, very happy because it's a new circuit and I've got 25 points. I'm very happy because it's great to go into the summer break with this result."
Bradl would maintain second place for his inaugural podium finish in MotoGP, while legend Valentino Rossi was able to hold off Alvaro Bautista for third by a mere .059 of a second. Marquez's REPSOL Honda teammate, Dani Pedrosa, rounded out the Top 5 finishers.

Apache Releases OpenOffice 4.0
The great open source productivity suite settles into its new home with a new look and a little help from IBM.
The Apache Foundation has announced the Apache OpenOffice 4.0 productivity suite -- the first major release since Apache took over the OpenOffice project.
OpenOffice has a long history with the Linux community. The software began in 1986 as part of the StarOffice suite, which was developed by the German company StarDivision. Sun Microsystems acquired StarDivision in 1999, releasing the source code as an open source project under the name OpenOffice. When Oracle acquired Sun in 2010, they continued to fund development of OpenOffice, however, many of the principal developers left Oracle to work on the community-driven LibreOffice fork, which has gradually replaced OpenOffice in most Linux distributions. Oracle gave the OpenOffice code and trademarks to the Apache Foundation in June 2011, and OpenOffice graduated from the Apache incubator to become a full Apache project in October 2012.
Since Oracle's exit, the leading force in OpenOffice development has been IBM. The latest release release shows IBM's influence, with a new sidebar adapted from code used in IBM's Lotus Symphony suite. The new sidebar gives one-click access to several editing and document-processing options. According to Apache OpenOffice VP Andrea Pescetti, the sidebar is "The first radical improvement to the OpenOffice user interface in years."
Other changes include improved color management, as well as enhancements to the Calc, Chart, and Draw editor modules. The new release also comes with some new features for better compatibility with Microsoft Office.
Apache OpenOffice 4.0 supports dozens of languages and runs on Windows and MacOS as well as Linux.

The Eastern Desert
The Eastern Desert comprises almost one-fourth of the land surface of Egypt and covers an area of about 85,690 square miles (221,900 square km). The northern tier is a limestone plateau consisting of rolling hills, stretching from the Mediterranean coastal plain to a point roughly opposite Qinā on the Nile. Near Qinā, the plateau breaks up into cliffs about 1,600 feet (500 metres) high and is deeply scored by wadis, which make the terrain very difficult to traverse. The outlets of some of the main wadis form deep bays, which contain small settlements of seminomads. The second tier includes the sandstone plateau from Qinā southward. The plateau is also deeply indented by ravines, but they are relatively free from obstacles, and some are usable as routes. The third tier consists of the Red Sea Hills and the Red Sea coastal plain. The hills run from near Suez to the Sudanese border; they are not a continuous range but consist of a series of interlocking systems more or less in alignment. A number of peaks in the Red Sea Hills rise to more than 6,000 feet (1,800 metres), and the highest, Mount Shāʿib al-Banāt, reaches 7,175 feet (2,187 metres). They are geologically complex, with ancient igneous and metamorphic rocks. These include granite that, in the neighbourhood of Aswān, extends across the Nile valley to form the First Cataract—that is, the first set of rapids on the river. At the foot of the Red Sea Hills the narrow coastal plain widens southward, and parallel to the shore there are almost continuous coral reefs. In popular conception and usage, the Red Sea littoral can be regarded as a subregion in itself.
The Western Desert
The Western Desert comprises two-thirds of the land surface of Egypt and covers an area of about 262,800 square miles (680,650 square km). From its highest elevation—more than 3,300 feet (1,000 metres)—on the plateau of Al-Jilf al-Kabīr in the southeast, the rocky plateau slopes gradually northeastward to the first of the depressions that are a characteristic feature of the Western Desert—that containing the oases of Al-Khārijah and Al-Dākhilah. Farther north are the oases of Al-Farāfirah and Al-Baḥriyyah. Northwestward from the latter the plateau continues to fall toward the Qattara Depression (Munkhafaḍ al-Qaṭṭārah), which is uninhabited and virtually impassable by modern vehicles. West of the Qattara Depression and near the Libyan border is the largest and most populous oasis, that of Siwa. It has been inhabited for thousands of years and is less influenced by modern development. South of the Qattara Depression, and extending west to the Libyan border, the Western Desert is composed of great ridges of blown sand interspersed with stony tracts. Beyond the Qattara Depression northward, the edge of the plateau follows the Mediterranean Sea, leaving a narrow coastal plain.
Sinai Peninsula
The Sinai Peninsula comprises a wedge-shaped block of territory with its base along the Mediterranean Sea coast and its apex bounded by the Gulfs of Suez and Aqaba; it covers an area of approximately 23,000 square miles (59,600 square km). Its southern portion consists of rugged, sharply serrated mountains. These reach elevations of more than 8,000 feet (2,400 metres); among them is Mount Catherine (Jabal Kātrīnā), Egypt's highest mountain, which has an elevation of 8,668 feet (2,642 metres). The central area of Sinai consists of two plateaus, Al-Tīh and Al-ʿAjmah, both deeply indented and dipping northward toward Wadi al-ʿArīsh. Toward the Mediterranean Sea, the northward plateau slope is broken by dome-shaped hills; between them and the coast are long, parallel lines of dunes, some of which are more than 300 feet (100 metres) high. The most striking feature of the coast itself is a salt lagoon, Lake Bardawīl, which stretches for some 60 miles (95 km).
Apart from the Nile, the only natural perennial surface drainage consists of a few small streams in the mountains of the southern Sinai Peninsula. Most of the valleys of the Eastern Desert drain westward to the Nile. They are eroded by water but normally dry; only after heavy rainstorms in the Red Sea Hills do they carry torrents. The shorter valleys on the eastern flank of the Red Sea Hills drain toward the Red Sea; they, too, are normally dry. Drainage in the mountains of the Sinai Peninsula is toward the gulfs of Suez and Aqaba; as in the Red Sea Hills, torrent action has produced valleys that are deeply eroded and normally dry.
The central plateau of the Sinai drains northward toward Wadi al-ʿArīsh, a depression in the desert that occasionally carries surface water. One of the features of the Western Desert is its aridity, as shown by the absence of drainage lines. There is, however, an extensive water table beneath the Western Desert. Where the water table comes near the surface it has been tapped by wells in some oases.

PH growth continues in Q4, says FMIC and UA&P
GDP to expand by an estimated 6.5%, one of fastest in region
The Philippines is expected to remain one of the fastest growing Asian economies in the fourth quarter, with its gross domestic product (GDP) estimated to expand by at least 6.5 percent during the period from a year ago.
This was according to the latest issue of "Market Call," a joint publication of First Metro Investment Corp. and University of Asia and the Pacific, which said significant infrastructure spending in the last three months of the year would likely keep the Philippines' growth rate robust.
"GDP growth for the fourth quarter should be at least as good as the average of 6.5 percent in the first three quarters since infrastructure spending is going full blast," the report said.
The comment was made following pronouncements from the budget department that government spending, especially on infrastructure, was targeted to substantially increase in the latter part of the year to compensate for the lower-than-programmed expenditure in the earlier months.
In the third quarter, the Philippines grew by a surprising 7.1 percent from a year ago, thus becoming the fastest growing economy in Southeast Asia for the period.
This brought the country's average growth rate for the first three quarters to 6.5 percent, one of the fastest so far this year in Asia.
The country's growth performance was attributed to the year-on-year increase in government spending (which was, however, lower compared with what has been targeted), higher household consumption on the back of rising remittances and rise in investments by local firms.
Economists said the Philippines in the first three quarters landed on an economic "sweet spot," as its high economic growth came with a modest inflation rate.
The Market Call said the favorable combination of high growth and low inflation would likely be sustained in the fourth quarter.
Inflation averaged at 3.2 percent in the first three quarters. For the first 11 months, the latest report of the National Statistics Office on consumer prices showed that inflation averaged at 3.2 percent.
"We see inflation to average 3.2 percent this year," The Market Call said.
This average is at the low end of the government's official inflation target of 3 to 5 percent for this year.
The combination of high growth rate and low inflation makes the Philippines worthy of recognition at a time when the global economy remains weak, economists said.
They also said, however, that the Philippines remains challenged with a significant poverty incidence, which reflects the failure so far of economic growth to improve the financial conditions of the poor.
They said investments must be channeled to sectors that will employ people belonging to poor households.
