Healing Touch - Topic Overview
What is healing touch?
Healing touch influences a person's physical or emotional health without anyone physically touching the person. Healing touch is a common practice. Healing touch is related to spiritual or energy healing, therapeutic touch, and distant healing.
In the 1970s, nurses developed a specific form of healing touch called therapeutic touch to provide a more holistic (viewing the body and mind as a whole, not as individual components), compassionate approach to healing. Many nursing schools in the United States teach therapeutic touch, and it is often used in conventional medical settings (such as before and after surgery) to help comfort patients.

By Catherine Guthrie Simple, field-tested strategies you can use right now You know what stress looks like: The sun rises; so do you. Your child suddenly remembers that he needs cupcakes for the school party. The dog's gotten sick in the living room. Your spouse leaves for work in a huff after a pre-breakfast tiff over finances. You leave for work without a report that's due today. You double back, grab it from the kitchen counter, trip over an Everest of laundry — must we go on? You...

Central to healing touch is the belief that a vital energy or life force flows freely through space and sustains all living organisms. In a healthy person, this energy is thought to flow in and out of the body in a balanced way. It is believed that illness results when the energy flow is out of balance.
Practitioners of healing touch use their hands in an attempt to change a person's energy flow and restore health. Healing touch does not require contact between the practitioner and the person during treatment. The practitioner moves his or her hands several inches above the person's body.
Like other complementary medicines, healing touch starts with the idea that people are naturally healthy. The way people live and think may disturb their natural energy, and they may become ill. The aim of healing touch is to focus (or channel) healing energy to restore natural health.
What is healing touch used for?
People use healing touch to help treat many diseases. Supporters of healing touch believe it is especially helpful for healing wounds, curing infections, and relieving pain and anxiety. Some research studies have shown that, like yoga and meditation, healing touch reduces anxiety and stress.
Little research has been done on the effects of healing touch, and it is a difficult form of therapy to study using traditional scientific techniques. But some studies on distant healing show benefits.
Is healing touch safe?
You can safely use healing touch along with conventional medical treatments. But it is not considered appropriate or safe for serious, life-threatening situations or to replace other proven treatments that are known to help with a disease. There is no known risk in adding healing touch or distant healing to your medical treatment.
Always tell your doctor if you are using an alternative therapy or if you are thinking about combining an alternative therapy with your conventional medical treatment. It may not be safe to forgo your conventional medical treatment and rely only on an alternative therapy.

LAFAYETTE, La. — Ole Miss broke a tie game with three runs in the eighth inning, and the Rebels kept their season alive with a 5-2 win over Louisiana-Lafayette in Game 2 of the Lafayette Super Regional Sunday night at "Tigue" Moore Field.
A night after No. 12 Ole Miss (45-19) aided the top-ranked Ragin' Cajuns' 9-5 win on Saturday, the Rebels used some charity from UL-Lafayette (58-9) to help force a third and decisive game on Monday. First pitch is set for 6 p.m. with the winner advancing to the College World Series.
Auston Bousfield's leadoff single in the eighth ended the night for ULL starter Carson Baranik, who scattered six hits and struck out four to bog the Rebels down for much of the night. Ryan Wilson walked Austin Anderson before Will Allen sent a fly ball to center. Seth Harrison dropped it, allowing Bousfield to race home for the go-ahead run, and pinch hitter Colby Bortles followed with a two-run single to extend the lead.
Right-hander Aaron Greenwood (3-1) pitched the final two innings for the win. Greenwood relieved starter Christian Trent in the eighth and gave up a game-tying single to Blake Trahan but pitched a scoreless ninth, freezing Dylan Butler for the final out with a runner at third.
Preston Overbey's fourth home run of the season — a solo shot over the wall in left —put Ole Miss up 2-1 in the seventh.
The Rebels got off to a quick start for the second straight night when Anderson worked a two-out walk in the bottom of the first and came around to score on Allen's double to the right-field wall.
Trent, who yielded just four hits and tied a career-high with seven punchouts over seven innings, cruised through the first four frames, facing just one over the minimum. He fanned the first two batters in the fifth and looked to have a 1-2-3 inning when Seth Harrison rolled a grounder to Overbey at second, but Harrison beat the throw after Overbey bobbled the ball.
Butler followed with a double into the left-field corner. The relay throw got to Allen with Harrison still three or four steps from the plate, but Harrison jarred the ball loose as Allen tried to apply the tag to knot the game at 1.
Overbey and Errol Robinson each had two hits for Ole Miss. Trahan went 3-for-4 for UL-Lafayette while Caleb Adams and Butler each had a double.

Sox excited to host 2013 Civil Rights game
CHICAGO -- While the White Sox are excited to host the 2013 Civil Rights Game, they're equally pleased to pass along the contest's message.
On Tuesday, Major League Baseball and the club announced that the White Sox will host the Civil Rights Game on Aug. 24 against the Texas Rangers at U.S. Cellular Field.
Now in its seventh year, the game aims to keep the Civil Rights Movement "alive and moving forward," said Frank Robinson, MLB Executive Vice President of Player Development.
The game concludes a two-day even that includes a Baseball and the Civil Rights Movement roundtable discussion, and awards luncheon and a youth clinic. The White Sox hope Chicago's part in the game raises awareness that the Civil Rights Movement is alive and well.
"I hope that people start to begin to recognize that Civil Rights is not something of the past, that is something that is continuous," White Sox Executive Vice President Kenny Williams said. "It is something that is evolving to the degree that there are still fights for Civil Rights in many different avenues of our life. You can look at the pages of our politics and what's being fought for in Congress right now and the Supreme Court and you can see that there are still limitations on people's Civil Rights. So, I think a blend of where we've been and where we still need to go is the right recipe and I think we are going to achieve that through our roundtable."
Atlanta hosted the event the past two seasons after Cincinnati held it in 2009 and 2010. The game originated as an exhibition in 2007 in Memphis, Tenn. and was played there for two seasons before it became a regular season game in 2009.
But in an attempt to keep the contest from growing "stale," MLB wants to move the game annually, though Robinson said Chicago could get the chance to host again in 2014.
When he learned MLB intended to move the event, Williams immediately volunteered the White Sox as a host, Robinson said. The city's diversity and owner Jerry Reinsdorf's history of hiring minorities for high-profile jobs and his team's community outreach programs made it an easy choice for the White Sox to host, Robinson said.
"I think it's going to be a tremendous boost to the Civil Rights game," Robinson said.
Reinsdorf said his impetus for hosting the event is he believes the movement has been forgotten and MLB has a chance to help it be remembered.
The White Sox have twice before played in the Civil Rights Game.
Reinsdorf said he realized how far removed society is from the movement when he realized his team's oldest player at the time, Jim Thome, was born after the assassination of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. in 1968. Reinsdorf wants his organization to take advantage of its ability to reach a larger audience to promote Civil Rights.
"I've always felt when you own a sports team you have an obligation and an opportunity to do the right thing," Reinsdorf said. "We take so much out of the community and we should give back. But the most important thing is we can do so much more than ordinary citizens and ordinary companies because of the attention we're getting. If U.S. Cellular calls a press conference we don't get all you guys showing up. But if baseball does, everybody shows up and it'll get on the air so we have the opportunity to do more than the average business and we enjoy doing it. It's just the right thing."

Something from Ubisoft Worth Getting!ugfish | March 8, 2015 | See all ugfish's reviews »
This is the first game in the Far Cry franchise that I decided to purchase. After reading the raving reviews about the previous game my only thoughts were that the new one had to be better. I was not at all disappointed with my first couple hours spent in the game. It gets you settled in to who your character is and who the "bad guy" is going to be throughout your adventures in Kyrat. The story itself is great and gives you the decisions to go down two different major paths. Both of these affect the missions you get and general reactions of the characters throughout the story. As a first timer in the franchise I went down the good guy path to begin with and then slowly started drifting towards the more action packs, drug running, shoot 'em up path as I reaching the end of the main story line. Far Cry gives you the option to play the game how you want it and lets you take many different approaches to handling missions. The missions can get a little repetitive if you really want to do every little side mission, but as far as the main story line goes it throws in many twists and variations that keep the game interesting. Welcome yourself to the armory! This game has loads of different guns that will keep any battle guru satisfied. If you want to go silent use a bow or throwing knives and take people out with out anyone ever knowing. Maybe you're the next Rambo; strap an LMG and an RPG over your shoulder and role right in guns blazing. I truly loved the variety of weapons in the games and the fact that it didn't matter what I wanted to use it all worked in its own way. The leveling system in the game is pretty straight forward. As you complete missions and tasks for people you gain experience and can then level up the skill tree with two different sides, the Tiger and the Elephant. One being more aggressive while the other more defensive. The skills help you as you progress through the game and also serve to spice up some of the combat and action events throughout the story. Karma is another thing in the game and basically gets you discounts as you gain more levels. In order to level this skill just try to help people out when needed and don't shoot every civilian you see just because they looked at you wrong (I did this once and regretted it due to loss of karma, but he deserved it). As far as running of the game goes this is where I had a few complaints with the game. It probably ran smoothly 95% of the time I was playing, but on occasion it would crash during loading screens which was a real pain because you had the boot the game back up which took a minute or so each time to get back up and going. Other then the occasional loading screen crash the game ran flawlessly and looked beautiful. All the animals and scenery was nicely rendered and the game just looked good when traveling through the world. I would recommend this game to any one wanting to have a good time shooting people up, grappling through the mountains, mounting an elephant, and conquering the oh so flamboyant Pagan Min. This is an open world FPS that I feel almost anyone can enjoy and you will be able to get a good amount of playing time out of it. Don't forget there is multi-player and custom player made maps as well that add a different fun factor to the game if you make it through the whole world of Kyrat and are itching for some more.
What a Sequel Should Bemikenotcaptain | Feb. 17, 2015 | See all mikenotcaptain's reviews »
Far Cry 4 is the first game I beat this year and it has set a high bar. Far Cry 4's greatest achievement is how it utilizes its open world. Not only is this game gorgeous (almost too much, I had to set the game quality lower than its highest so that it would play perfectly) but it has so much to do within it. I would say that I skipped 50% of the side missions and I still did plenty. One new feature that was added since FC3 is random occurrences. While exploring Kyrat (the setting of the game) random events will pop up on your screen to get you to help the war efforts against the tyrant Pagan Min, such as fighting people in battle, rescuing prisoners, killing messengers, destroying convoys, hijacking trucks, and etc. These instances were just as fun as side quests and made the game feel more real. The most fun moments of the game came from clearing enemy bases undetected. This process is so much fun and is the best stealth gameplay out there. Combat in this game is extremely solid and is up there with other FPSs like COD, Halo, etc. The main story of FC4 was really good. The beginning seemed a bit drawn out but it came together well enough. There is a secondary storyline that involves reliving the mythology of the island and how it came to be. This story was amazing and its conclusion had the best boss battle in the game. The reason why I deduct one point from this game having a perfect score is the main story's ending. Without any spoilers, it left me wanting some more closure. In the game I spent all this time working for a goal and it did not show me any of the fruits of my labor. The game just ends. I can assume the results but it would have been great to see it, which could have been an easy fix for the devs. Overall, amazing game and I would recommend it to anyone who likes violent games. You don't even have to play FC3 before.

This game is visually breathtaking. The antagonist is insane, which makes this game all the better. Farcry 3 was great, so just add elephants and a slightly crazier villain, and you've got Farcry 4. It is fantastic! I would definitely recommend it. And last but not least, Screw Eagles.
MagnificentSenorSloth | Jan. 9, 2015 | See all SenorSloth's reviews »
I have been following the Far Cry series ever since I first got hooked on Far Cry 2 on my old ps3. I played that game for so long, then Far Cry 3 came out and I was blown away. Now we are on to Far Cry 4, and just like the other Far Cry games in the series I love this one as well. I would love to give this game a perfect score but my experience playing the game was a little shot do to some game breaking glitches I encountered in the first 30 min of the game which led me to constantly restart missions because things would not register. This made me rather frustrated with the game and cause me to have to put it down for days at a time. As the game is now, I would have to give it only a 79 out of 100 as these glitches are just horrible and annoying. When these glitches are fixed, this game is a 100 in my books.
ImprovementGrthwllms | Nov. 24, 2014 | See all Grthwllms's reviews »
At its core Far Cry 4 is much the same game as 3. There's no getting around that principle. Every core mechanic of the game is the same, and if you didn't enjoy them in 3 you will not enjoy them here. That said, if you think of yourself as a fan of 3, and wanting more? This game is splendid. The new setting, characters and some subtle changes show that clearly some lessons have been learned by the developers and those lessons have been applied incredibly well. The PC port has some performance issues, and you may find yourself playing on graphical settings lower than you would expect until these have been patched out. I have every expectation that this will happen, but if you're not in a rush there's no harm in waiting for a sale. Overall, this is an incredibly solid game. I took the risk of trusting the Ubisoft name after finding out what happened with Unity, and was pleasantly surprised. Don't expect anything groundbreaking or too mind blowing, just a very good experience. One you're likely to sink hours into if you have any interest in the genre.

flew a midnight flight to Denver the first time in a long while. It seemed everyone providing services were in a grand mood; from the ticket counter person, to the security folks, to the flight attendants. The only average experience was to learn the seats in front of the side row emergency exits do not recline and that would have been nice on a midnight flight. otherwise, a grand experience.

text: After nearly four years of work, the U.S. 58 Hillsville Bypass will soon be open to traffic. While 1.5 miles of the 5.2-mile project opened in October of last year, Virginia Department of Transportation officials hope to have the remaining 3.7 miles of the $83 million project opened by Sept. 1, in time for the VFW Labor Day Flea Market and Gun Show in Hillsville. The entire project is slated to be finished by November 1.There is a difference in the work being finished and the road being opened to traffic, said VDOT spokesman Jason Bond. We are hoping to get it open to traffic by September 1, and then there is some additional incidental work that will have to be completed even though traffic is using the road.A 1.5-mile portion of the Route 58 Hillsville Bypass opened to traffic in October of 2010, connecting the western portion of U.S. 58 to U.S. 52 at the southern end of Hillsville. The remaining 3.7 miles will go from the interchange with U.S. 52 to the eastern tie-in of the bypass at U.S. 58 Business (just west of Route 820, Freemont Road).I think it is really good news if everything goes well it will open in time for the Flea Market. That is what we are hoping for, Bond said. Its always been a fixed date of completion of Nov. 1, so we have always had that date with the contractor. As far as getting it open to traffic, weve opened it as quickly as we could.While he knows its just a possibility at this time, Hillsville Police Chief Steve Williams is hopeful the bypass will be open prior to Labor Day. Doing so would be extremely helpful for his department and other law enforcement agencies deal with the large traffic flow associated with the Flea Market.Were really hoping it is open before Labor Day because hopefully it will relieve some of the problems weve had the past four years, especially in the 58 west area between Exit 14 and where the Flea Market begins there, Williams said. It will help a lot, but it will present its own problems too because its a totally new traffic pattern weve never had to deal with before. We will have to be fluid with our plans and see how things go, and maybe we can tweak it a little bit and make it better. But it is a plus from the last three or four years with one lane in and one lane out because its been a mess.

Rodger Saffold has MCL sprain
Updated: September 17, 2012, 9:11 PM ETAssociated Press
ST. LOUIS -- St. Louis Rams offensive tackle Rodger Saffold will be out at least a month because of a right knee injury.
Coach Jeff Fisher said Monday that Saffold has a third-degree MCL sprain and other damage to the knee, but said it was not season-ending.
"He's going to miss a number of weeks. How many weeks, I can't speculate now," Fisher said. "He's got a pretty good attitude about it. He's happy with the news that we got as a result of the MRI."
Saffold was hurt ...

I just might stop subscribing this free amp is great.
(45 stars)
A recent (3/15) upgrade 1) has intrusive ads that "blow up" when you hit the x, rather than go away, and 2) causes my Android phone to reboot randomly when using. Formerly good - no longer.

Would like to be able to get Aces bridge, crossword, cryptogram, sudoku and jumbo to download and work.

This is mostly identical to the website and parsecs away from the iPad app. There's no point in using the app over the website IMHO.
(45 stars)
It's ok if I open the app myself and look around for articles and info. It would be better if the app could alert me to breaking news.
(45 stars)
No customization available. Only push alerts I get are sports. As clunky as the web reader app for the print edition is - way better than this. Uninstalling.
(45 stars)
Article display is reasonable, and readable, though it would be nice if the visual styling could carry more of a flavor of the original paper (each paper has its own app, so style tweaks are easy). Swipe order seems not customizable? Ad presentation is OK. Very weak point is notifications. 1) No filtering is possible. 2) Multiple notifications are not aggregated. 3) Despite 2, clicking on notifica

A breeze of opportunity blew Tuesday at Mandan Memorial Ballpark as Nate Rodriguez of Valley City Babe Ruth, Jesse Johnson of Legion Post 60, and the rest of a collection of nearly 30 select reserves arrived for a nondescript 9 a.m. baseball tryout to which each received letters of invitation.
"It was good," Rodriguez said.
Legion Post 60 found balance in Tuesday's League game against visiting Casselton, stacking up 13 hits and allowing only two in a 9-4 win before Casselton scored eight runs between the fourth and fifth innings of the non-Leaguer for the 9-3 win.
"We're never going to be a team that doesn't hit the ball," said Post 60 head coach Kyle Roelfsema of Valley City's aggressive attitude in the opener.
Post 60 completes the season series 2-1 against Casselton, having taken June 24's League game 9-6 on the road before the non-League game was not completed with an 8-5 Casselton lead.
Valley City will hold a public meeting Wednesday to discuss the future of the city's renaissance zone, which is set to end in July, 2015. The meeting is scheduled for 7 p.m. at Valley City City Hall to discuss potential changes to the zone, particularly to re-examine the geography of the zone to determine if adjustments should be made that would allow property owners to take advantage of the renaissance zone, according to Tony Kobbervig, a member of the Valley City Renaissance Zone Authority.

Nate Rodriguez and Jesse Johnson received invitation letters to Tuesday's major league tryout camp at the Mandan Memorial Ballpark in South Mandan, N.D.
Rodriguez, the upcoming sophomore of this summer's Babe Ruth team, and Johnson, the to-be Enderlin-Maple Valley junior, of Legion Post 60, didn't see it coming.
"I had no idea it existed until I got the letter," said Johnson, nervous and excited to partake in his first such event and to get his name out to scouts. "Maybe some scouts saw us at Babe Ruth State last year."

The Specials (sometimes called The Special AKA) are an English 2 Tone ska revival band formed in 1977 in Coventry, England.[1] Their music combines a "danceable ska and rocksteady beat with punk's energy and attitude", and had a "more focused and informed political and social stance" than other ska groups. The band wore mod-style "1960s period rude boy outfits (pork pie hats, tonic and mohair suits, and loafers)."[2] In 1980, the song "Too Much Too Young", the lead track on their The Special AKA Live! EP, reached number one in the UK.[3] In 1981, the unemployment-themed single "Ghost Town" also hit number one in the UK Singles Chart.[1] After seven consecutive UK Top 10 singles between 1979 and 1981, the band broke up.[1] Their 1983 song "Free Nelson Mandela" was a #9 UK hit.[1] It contributed to making Mandela a cause célèbre in the United Kingdom, and became popular with anti-Apartheid activists.
Afterwards, Dammers then dissolved the band and pursued political activism.[4]
The group was formed in 1977 by songwriter/keyboardist Jerry Dammers, with Terry Hall (vocals), Lynval Golding (guitar, vocals), Silverton Hutchinson (drums) and a rhythm section. Horace Panter (also known as Sir Horace Gentleman) was in at the creation. The band was first called The Automatics, then The Coventry Automatics.[5] Terry Hall and Roddy Byers (also known as Roddy Radiation) joined the band the following year, and the band changed its name to The Special AKA, The Coventry Automatics, and then to The Special AKA. Joe Strummer of The Clash had attended one of their concerts, and invited The Special AKA to open for his band in their On Parole UK Tour. This performance gave The Special AKA a new level of national exposure, and they briefly shared The Clash's management.
The Specials began at the same time as Rock Against Racism which first gathered in 1978. According to Dammers, anti-racism was intrinsic to the formation of The Specials, in that the band was formed with the goal of integrating black and white people. Many years later Dammers stated, "Music gets political when there are new ideas in music, ...punk was innovative, so was ska, and that was why bands such as The Specials and The Clash could be political."[6]
In 1979 shortly after drummer Hutchinson left the band to be replaced by John Bradbury, Dammers formed the 2 Tone Records label and released the band's debut single "Gangsters", a reworking of Prince Buster's "Al Capone". The record became a Top 10 hit that summer.[1] The band had begun wearing mod/rude boy/skinhead-style two-tone tonic suits, along with other elements of late 1960s teen fashions. Changing their name to The Specials, they recorded their debut LP The Specials in 1979, produced by Elvis Costello.[4] The album lead off with Dandy Livingstone's "Rudy, A Message to You" (slightly altering the title to "A Message To You, Rudy") and also had covers of Prince Buster and Toots & the Maytals songs from the late 1960s. In 1980, the EP Too Much Too Young (credited to The Special AKA) was a number one hit in the UK Singles Chart,[1] despite controversy over the song's lyrics, which reference teen pregnancy and promote contraception.[7]
Reverting once again to the moniker The Specials, the band's second album, More Specials was not as commercially successful and was recorded at a time when, according to Terry Hall, conflicts had developed in the band.[8] Female backing vocalists on The Specials first two studio albums included: Chrissie Hynde, Rhoda Dakar (then of The Bodysnatchers and later of The Special AKA), Belinda Carlisle, Jane Wiedlin and Charlotte Caffey (of The Go-Go's). In the first few months of 1981 the band took a break from recording and touring, and then released "Ghost Town", a non-LP Specials single, which hit number one in 1981. However, shortly afterwards, Staple, Golding and Hall left the band to form Fun Boy Three.[1]
Dammers then drastically revised the line-up of the band, adding vocalists Stan Campbell and Rhoda Dakar, and began working again under the group name The Special AKA.[4] The resulting album from the new line-up, In the Studio, was less successful, although the song "Free Nelson Mandela" was a #9 UK hit.[1] The latter contributed to making Mandela a cause célèbre in the United Kingdom, and became popular with anti-Apartheid activists in South Africa. Dammers then dissolved the band and pursued political activism.[4]
Since the breakup of the original line-up, various members of the band performed in other bands and have reformed several times to tour and record in Specials-related projects. However, there has never been a complete reunion of the original line-up. In the 1980s, Hall, Staple and Golding founded the pop band Fun Boy Three and enjoyed commercial success from 1981 to 1983 with hits such as "Tunnel of Love", "Our Lips Are Sealed" and "The Lunatics (Have Taken Over the Asylum)". From 1984 until 1987, Hall fronted The Colourfield, with some commercial success. After they disbanded, Hall pursued a solo career, working mostly in the New Wave genre. He co-wrote a number of early Lightning Seeds releases. He also performed some vocals for a Dub Pistols' album.
Roddy Radiation fronted and worked with several bands including The Tearjerkers (a band that he had begun in the last months of The Specials), The Bonediggers, The Raiders and Three Men & Black which included of Jean-Jacques Burnel (The Stranglers), Jake Burns (Stiff Little Fingers), Pauline Black (The Selecter), Bruce Foxton (The Jam), Dave Wakeling (The Beat, General Public) and Nick Welsh (Skaville UK). He also fronts The Skabilly Rebels, a band that mixes rockabilly with ska.
In the early 1990s, members of The Beat teamed up with members of The Specials to form Special Beat.[7] The band toured and released some live albums. In 1996, with ska enjoying a resurgence in mainstream popularity on North American radio and MTV, several members of The Specials reunited to record Today's Specials, a studio album mostly of reggae and ska covers.[4] This was followed in 1998 with an album of originals, Guilty 'til Proved Innocent!, featuring guest vocals by Tim Armstrong and Lars Frederiksen of Rancid. The band toured heavily in support of both releases. These albums were followed by Skinhead Girl in 2000 and Conquering Ruler in 2001. Notably absent from these records and tours were Hall, Bradbury and Dammers.[4] In 1992, ex-Specials bassist Panter quit the music industry to train as a primary school teacher at the University of Central England in Birmingham. He later resumed his musical career.
In 2007, Hall teamed up with Golding for the first time in 24 years, to play Specials songs at two music festivals. At Glastonbury Festival they appeared on the Pyramid Stage with Lily Allen to perform "Gangsters". In May 2009 Golding claimed that Allen's reuniting him with Hall played a "massive part" in the groups later reformation.[9] Later the same day they played on The Park Stage, with Damon Albarn of Blur on piano and with beatboxer Shlomo providing rhythm, to perform "A Message To You, Rudy". At GuilFest, Golding joined the Dub Pistols to again perform "Gangsters". In 2007, Golding regularly performed concerts and recorded with Pama International, a collective of musicians who were members of Special Beat.
On 30 March 2008, Hall stated that The Specials would be reforming for tour dates in Autumn 2008, and possibly for some recording.[10] This was officially confirmed on 7 April 2008.[11] On 6 September 2008, six members of the band performed on the Main Stage at the Bestival billed as the 'Surprise Act'. By December 2008, the band had announced 2009 tour dates to celebrate their 30th anniversary. It was announced that founder member Jerry Dammers is not set to join the band on the tour. Hall was quoted as saying "The door remains open to him".[12] However Dammers described the new reunion as a "takeover" and claimed he has been forced out of the band.[13]
On 10 April 2009, the reactivated band guested on the BBC Two's Later... with Jools Holland. The following month, Golding and Bradbury expressed their intentions to release further original Specials material at a later date.[14] On 8 June 2009, it was announced that The Specials would embark on a 'second leg' of their 30th Anniversary Tour - taking in the locations and venues that they missed earlier in the year.[15] In July and August 2009, The Specials toured Australia and Japan. In October the band picked up the Inspiration Award at the Q Awards.[16] In 2010, they performed at the Dutch festival Lowlands.[17]
In an interview at the Green Room in Manchester in November 2010, Terry Hall confirmed that there would be further Specials dates in the Autumn of 2011, and confessed to having enjoyed playing live again; "It's a celebration of something that happened in your life that was important, and we're going to do that again next year, but then maybe that'll be it."[18]
The Specials will perform at Hyde Park, with Blur and New Order, to celebrate the closing of the 2012 Summer Olympics on 12 August 2012.[19]

Janikowski reflects on record-tying kick
ALAMEDA, Calif. (AP)
When Sebastian Janikowski lined up for a record-tying 63-yard field goal attempt there was little doubt he had the leg to get it there in the thin air of Denver.
The Oakland Raiders ran the ball up the middle on the previous play for no gain just to set him up on the left hash mark. The Broncos didn't even put a returner in the end zone in case the ball came up short.
It didn't. The ball cleared the crossbar with a little room to spare, putting Janikowski's name in the record book alongside Tom Dempsey and Jason Elam with the longest field goals in NFL history.
''I'm excited. I didn't sleep last night, talking to my wife, friends calling. I was waiting a long time - 12 years,'' Janikowski said Wednesday. ''Only two other guys have done it. Dempsey and Jason Elam. It's an honor, but I always want to break it.''
The most impressive part is that he didn't hit the ball square so he could hit one even longer if the situation was right.
Janikowski said he thought he could hit one from 74 or 75 yards in the thin air of Denver and probably from about 68 closer to sea level. He hit from 70 yards in warmups with plenty of room to spare. He has gone even longer in previous trips to Denver or on the training camp field in Napa when he got a ball flush, according to holder Shane Lechler.
''He didn't hit it good at all. I thought he mis-hit it, he thought he miss-hit it,'' Lechler said. ''But still it was enough to carry it there.''
The record-tying boot might not have even been the most impressive for Janikowski in his career. In December 2009, Janikowski hit a 61-yarder that barely cleared the crossbar on a cold day in Cleveland.
He has 21 career field goals of at least 50 yards, including a 59-yarder last year against Indianapolis and a record 57-yarder in overtime to beat the New York Jets in 2008.
''Cleveland was the hardest one,'' he said. ''I mean, it was cold, and it was snowing a little bit. But in Cleveland I hit it solid. This one I didn't hit it solid.''
Janikowski has had a couple of chances to break the record, falling well short of a 76-yard attempt in 2008 against San Diego in Lane Kiffin's final game as Raiders coach and hitting the right upright on a 64-yard attempt late in the first half against Houston the previous season.
Lechler said he wasn't tempted at all to spot the ball on the 46-yard line to make it a 64-yard attempt for the record because the situation was too important with Oakland on top 13-3.
''We were a full yard in front of it, completely. There was no hesitation,'' Lechler said. ''Maybe if the score had been last year's score (35-7 at halftime) but not in that situation.''
Janikowski started getting ready as soon as Matt Giordano intercepted a pass at the Oakland 24 with 24 seconds left in the half. A facemask penalty on Kevin Vickerson moved the ball out to the 39 and a 16-yard pass to Marcel Reece got the Raiders in position at the Denver 45.
Coach Hue Jackson then called for a run up the middle that netted no gain but put Janikowski on his preferred left hash mark for the record-tying kick.
''I knew he's going to try a long one. He'd been talking about it all week, he's going to give me a chance,'' Janikowski said. ''Every time we cross the 50-yard line I warm up anyway because you never know what's going to happen. But Denver, you know, that's the different story.''
Janikowski has been at his best so far this season at age 33. He hit a pair of 57-yarders off the infield dirt at the Coliseum in each direction during preseason and then the big kick in Denver.
He credits the success to being in better shape and in a better mindset.
''Just do more weights, work out with those guys here,'' he said. ''I think I've gotten more relaxed. I know that I've been making long field goals and we're going to try long field goals and I feel more relaxed out there.''
Janikowski's ability on long kicks impacts the way opposing teams have to defend the Raiders late in the half or game. While most kickers don't get into range until their team crosses the 40-yard line, Janikowski is a threat from much deeper.
''Don't let them get to the 50, especially if there's any wind at all,' Buffalo coach Chan Gailey said. ''You can't assume that he's going to make every one of those but, again, you can't discount it, as well. So, if they get to the 50, you start getting nervous.''
Notes: The Raiders had officials at practice after committing 15 penalties in the opener. ... TE Kevin Boss returned to practice for the first time since spraining his left knee on Aug. 20 in an exhibition game against San Francisco. ... WR Jacoby Ford (hamstring), S Michael Huff (groin), DT Richard Seymour, WR Louis Murphy (hamstring), S Mike Mitchell (knee) all missed practice.

MIDLAND – Greg Pusztai, left, of the Midland District Railroad Club talks...
ALLISTON - As far as reputations are concerned, Alliston teacher Jodie Lang is viewed as one of the best in the local community. Now it can be said she's one of the best teachers in the province.
In late September, the Grade 2 teacher at St. Paul's Catholic Elementary School attended a special ceremony in Toronto where she received the Ontario Teachers Insurance Plan (OTIP) 2012 Teaching Award for excellence in the elementary category.
The award, organized by the Ontario Teachers' Federation but funded by OTIP, is doled out to just three teachers throughout Ontario each year. The award program was founded in 1991 but was brought back in 2004.
Lang, an Everett resident who has taught at St. Paul's for 14 years, is the first teacher in Simcoe County to win the accolade since the program returned nine years ago.
"It's thrilling, it's a huge honour to win this," Lang said. "It's very humbling because there are many, many, many wonderful teachers out there."
Lang, who actually found out about the award in June, was nominated by a parent of two former students.
The award selection process is rigorous and it includes interviews and many rounds of judging.
According to the award website, overall the accolade recognizes teachers that make a difference in the lives of students, who use innovative teaching techniques and demonstrate "a personal commitment" to lifelong learning.
As a teacher, Lang said she tries to venture beyond the "pencil and paper" and answering questions from a textbook approach.
"I try to keep things as interactive and hands on as I can," she said, adding she's always looking for new teaching ideas online or in books.
Some examples include a mapping project she's working on with her students. By allowing students to draw their own maps, students learn about their place on the planet, from a global and continental perspective, all the way down to where their house fits into the community.
"It's more hands-on for them and it brings the material to them in a real sense," she said.
Lang also makes use of songs as a more fun way to help her students learn, encouraging kids to personalize the lyrics so their individuality can shine through.
She also makes efforts to interact with students outside the classroom setting. At Christmas, instead of buying her gifts, she asks her students to collect money for a local family in need. She then takes the class out to a local retail store and helps them buy gifts.
"We go shop and I tell them the age of the kids and the gender," she said. "And we just go around and try to find things for them. Then I always take them for hot chocolate after."
Baxter resident Sara Roberts nominated Lang for the accolade.
Roberts' daughter, now in Grade 6, has a learning disability, while her son, now in Grade 4, has Asperger's syndrome.
"She did so many things to make it easier for them to learn," she said. "She would take so much time and effort to help them. She's just such a nice, caring and loving person."
She credits Lang for her teaching methods, recalling one example where she asked students to use their Nintendo DS handhelds to draw and share pictures as part of a class project. Another popular event she organized was a community meal event, where students were encouraged to make a dish from a family recipe and then bring it to school to share with their fellow classmates and their families.
This is the second time in the past two years Lang has received a major award.
In 2011, she was inducted into the Herald's South Simcoe Hall of Fame, partly for her role as a teacher, but more for her volunteer contributions with the Everett Parks and Improvement Committee.
"I love what I do and I am very passionate about my job," Lang said. "And I thank my family for allowing me to pursue my passion, and they support it."
For her award, Lang received a plaque of recognition, along with two cash prizes of $1,000, one for herself and one for her school.
Lang's award also marks a second education accolade for the school over the past two years.
In 2011, school principal Pattie Campbell was named one of Canada's most outstanding principals The Learning Partnership, a charitable organization and champion of the public education system.

Zurich - Nine goal-line technology systems are to undergo tests to try to win approval for match-day use next year, FIFA said on Thursday.FIFA did not identify the nine candidates, all from Europe, which will be examined between September and December by the Swiss Federal Laboratories for Materials Science and Technology."Each company's respective technology will be scrutinised across a broad range of criteria, in both daylight and floodlit conditions," FIFA said in a statement.FIFA's rule-making body, the International Football Association Board, will study the results in London next March and invite the best systems to a second round of trials.The IFAB panel, composed of FIFA officials and the four British associations, can approve successful systems at a meeting scheduled next July.First, the nine candidates must show their technology's "recognition of free shots on goal, with 100 percent accuracy required, as well as static and dynamic accuracy tests, to 90 percent accuracy in the first phase."FIFA also requires that the match referee must know within one second if a goal has been scored.The message is relayed "with both a vibration and visual signal required to be sent to the referee's watch. This indication must be received wherever the referee is positioned on the field of play, or within the technical areas," FIFA said.FIFA president Sepp Blatter reversed his opposition to tests after England was denied a clear goal in its second-round loss against Germany at the 2010 World Cup.Blatter has said the technology could be in place at the 2014 World Cup in Brazil, though that plan will be opposed by influential UEFA president Michel Platini. He favours employing additional assistant referees beside each goal.Nine systems were previously tested at FIFA headquarters before the annual IFAB meeting in March but their accuracy was unacceptable.Hawk-Eye, the Sony-owned company whose ball-tracking technology is used in tennis and cricket, declined to participate because its system uses cameras that need to be set up in a stadium.FIFA said the nine candidates can propose testing venues which have still to be agreed for the next round of trials.

Hmmm... i started as a leo (august 22nd) and now that it changed i'm still a leo. Only a "deeper seated leo". BORING.
By the way, not that im a horoscope fanatic, but i'm about 90% sure that this new horoscope thing only applies toward babies born after the recent change. People who were born a certain sign are still that sign. Babies born after this change however will have the new dates apply.

Pregnant Kate absent from royals' Christmas church visit
SANDRINGHAM, United Kingdom – Queen Elizabeth II joined the British royal family for a Christmas church service on Tuesday — but Prince William and his pregnant wife Catherine were notably absent.
William and the former Kate Middleton, who is recovering from severe morning sickness that saw her hospitalised for four days earlier this month, broke with tradition to spend Christmas Day with her family rather than the royals.
The 86-year-old queen, who had missed church on Sunday due to a cold, appeared in good spirits as she arrived for the morning service at St Mary Magdalene Church on her Sandringham estate in Norfolk, eastern England.
Wearing a turquoise coat dress and matching hat, she was met by some 1,000 wellwishers including crowds of children who queued to give her flowers.
The queen's 91-year-old husband Prince Philip, who spent last Christmas in hospital following a heart scare, was also at church along with heir to the throne Prince Charles and his wife Camilla.
The royals traditionally spend Christmas at Sandringham, but William's younger brother Prince Harry will also be absent from this year's festivities as he serves in Afghanistan as an Apache helicopter pilot.
William and Kate's office at St James's Palace said the couple, whose first child will be third-in-line to the British throne, would visit Sandringham later in the festive season.
The queen and Prince Philip are understood to have approved their grandson's decision to spend Christmas Day with his parents-in-law, Michael and Carole Middleton, who run a party supplies business.
Kate's sister Pippa and brother James were also expected to spend the day at the Middleton family home in Bucklebury, a village west of London.
The queen's annual Christmas message to the Commonwealth — recorded in 3D for the first time this year — was due to be broadcast at 1500 GMT.
Behind-the-scenes photographs showed the queen beaming as she previewed the footage, wearing customised 3D glasses marked with a "Q" in diamante studs.

Mo'Nique has always been a diva in the best sense, but that might be hurting her Precious Oscar hope.
The New York Daily News reports that the comedienne has become demanding and difficult to work with in the weeks leading up to the release of her new film, Precious. Mo pulled a no-show for the film's New York premiere Saturday, making that her second absence: She also ditched on film promotion at the Toronto Film Festival when organizers wouldn't pay her $100,000 appearance fee.
"That money didn't even include hair and makeup costs. She also demanded that her glam squad fly first class," an industry source dished. "Apparently, she's ignorant as to how the Hollywood system works."
According to the source, Mo has always had her mind on her money. Supposedly, she did the film for a relatively small payday. However, the insider explained, "Because Oprah [Winfrey] and Tyler Perry are backing the film, she feels as though there should be a budget to pay for her promotional duties."
Studio execs asked Oprah to put Mo'Nique in check, but not even she could achieve that goal. Now, she and Tyler have reportedly told Lionsgate to push Mariah Carey and Gabby Sidibie for Oscar nomination, who have both been promoting Precious at events for free.
"When people say, 'You care more about money than winning an Oscar,' well, what does an Oscar mean? An Oscar means more work when you win it, and that means more money," Mo'Nique said in response to claims she's gotten greedy. "I couldn't eat that Oscar. Everybody needs money, baby. That's how we survive, right?"
Although, the studio, Tyler and Oprah aren't exactly loving them some Mo, Precious' director Lee Daniels has come to her defense, stating, "Mo'Nique is not a diva. She puts her soul into whatever she does." But he went on to acknowledge that "doing the press is hard for her because she's in the moment."

text: Adobe has made the cloud an essential part of its business strategy, but on Friday it's been dealt a major blow thanks to cyber attackers. The company has revealed that an intrusion led to an untold number of Adobe IDs and passwords falling into the hands of hackers. But it gets far worse. Adobe says "certain information" on 2.9 million customers may have also been compromised. Among that data set are customer names, encrypted credit / debit card numbers, and expiration dates. Source code for "numerous Adobe products" was stolen in another recent attack, and Adobe says the two are likely connected. Arkin says that Adobe doesn't believe attackers made off with any decrypted financial information. Nonetheless, the company will be notifying the many customers whose credit or debit card information was involved. Read the full story at The Verge.

Great fit, good breathability for a full finger leather glove with minimal foam knuckle armor. I like mine although the leather seems to be stretching a little too much.
great fit very good leather quality
Good gloves, tight fit, and springy new leather feel. I love 'em!
Nice gloves! Will buy another pair!
After one day of hard riding, my gloves sarted to fall apart where the left thumb joins the body of the glove. I have metal grips, so I am assuming that this propbably caused more of the problem, they may last a lot longer with rubber grips.
good protection and great air flow.
A bit tight but hopefully will stretch that little extra. Fingers also too long.
Good but not the best. Gloves fit nice and look nice however leather has already started to break down
love these gloves...
