When you cast your ballot for president in November, something as simple as the candidate's face could play a role in your decision.
Sound hard to believe?
A growing body of research supports the notion that a candidate's attempts to establish himself as a powerful leader can be helped or hurt by his facial features. Appearance is not, of course, the sole factor that sways voters, but experts who have studied the link between faces and people's perceptions say we place more emphasis on looks than we think.
Facial structure can play a role in how trustworthy, strong and charismatic we perceive someone to be, said Caroline Keating, a psychology professor at Colgate University who studies facial structure and perceptions of power.
Sens. John McCain and Barack Obama, the likely Republican and Democratic nominees, respectively, both have strong features that convey leadership, she said. But their faces may send different messages depending on the qualities most important to a voter.
A square jaw, prominent eyebrows, smaller eyes and thin lips are equated with dominance and strength. Round eyes and a weak chin can give someone a baby face and chip away at his power.
"One reason why it's so important for us to perceive our leaders as competent, credible and sincere is because that makes us feel secure," Keating said. "We identify with leaders. If leaders look confident, brave, bold and true, then we feel we can take on the world."
Keating has conducted research on people's reactions to former Presidents Reagan and Kennedy. Using digital images, she made subtle, almost undetectable changes designed to enhance or diminish their facial features and tested reactions. Giving the youthful Kennedy a more mature appearance made him appear more cunning, while people thought the already-mature Reagan's power diminished with added wrinkles.
Reagan and Kennedy had faces that conveyed power but also caring, which are ideal features for presidential candidates, she said.
Researchers say candidates need more than just strong facial features to win an election.
Choosing a presidential candidate is a personal and emotional decision that can be driven by several factors, including a person's priorities, financial situation and outlook.
For Phoenix resident Mary Beth Borkowski, facial features played no role in her choice for president, she said.
The 43-year-old, eighth-grade English teacher is drawn to Obama because of his views on health care, the Iraq war and early-childhood education.
"For me, it's totally substance," she said.
Even so, appearances can play a role. In the first-ever televised presidential debate, the 1960 matchup between Sen. John F. Kennedy of Massachusetts and Vice President Richard Nixon, viewers perceived Kennedy as the winner after Nixon showed up pale and sickly with a 5-o'clock shadow. Kennedy, by contrast, looked tan and well-rested.
Those who listened to the debate on radio, however, declared Nixon the winner.
Studies since then have shown that facial features can have some influence, but how much and with whom is unclear. People rely on faces to give them social clues about a person, and many believe they can judge character by looking at someone's face, according to a 2000 study by two New York University researchers in the Journal of Personality and Social Psychology.
McCain has a square face and pronounced jowls, features that have been associated with perceived dominance when shown to people in both Western and non-Western cultures, Keating's research has shown. His close-set eyes give him an aggressive look when he knits his brows together.
McCain's facial scars, wrinkles and receded, silver hairline give the 71-year-old the appearance of masculinity and seniority, an aura of "been there, done that," she said.
Voters who are concerned mostly with national-security issues could be drawn to him because of his mature features, she said.
"People who are less confident will be worried about him imposing old solutions to new problems, and for that, they will be looking for someone who looks different," she said.
In that case, they may be drawn to Obama, she said, who as a mixed-race man may appeal to people who want a new way of thinking about problems.
Obama's strengths include a square jaw, narrow eyes, and prominent brow and nose. His brown eyes and full lips lend a feeling of warmth, she said.
Voters who are concerned mostly with the economy and health care may be drawn to Obama's face because his warm eyes and smile convey caring, she said. His oblong-shaped face gives him a mature look, and his well-defined cheekbones suggest an aristocratic air.
"He looks like more of a strategist than a fighter," she said.
Obama's prominent ears could work for or against him, Keating said. They give him a boyish look, making him seem approachable and fun. Voters who mainly are looking for strength could view his boyish ears as a negative.
There is evidence that people can often predict the election winners just by looking at faces.
Alexander Todorov, an assistant professor of psychology at Princeton University, gave people photos of unfamiliar political candidates who won and were runners-up in state governor races. He asked people to pick the most competent candidates, and they chose the winners 68 percent of the time.
Whether this reliance on snap judgments is good or bad is hard to tell, Keating said.
"What's the job of a leader? It's to move us," she said. "If you don't look sincere, then you're never going to move anybody. You're not going to instill in them the confidence and the emotional tenor you need to get them to sign onto the programs you think are important. So, when it comes to motivating people, it's all about the non-verbal."

Letter: Gets our vote
Stella and Jim Lawson, Bonita Springs
Gets our vote
We are so fortunate that Robert Sharkey wants to continue to serve on the Bonita Springs Utilities board of directors.
Sharkey has been a major reason why BSU water and sewer rates have not increased in recent years. He steadfastly looks at all issues from the member perspective and helps keep this well-funded utility from raising rates without sufficient justification.
A vote for Sharkey will greatly help keep your money in your pocket.
Better yet, voting only for Sharkey, and no other candidate, provides the best chance for re-electing Sharkey.

Development plans of the State are urban-centric: Santhosh Hegde
Bangalore: Lokayukta N. Santhosh Hegde called upon the youth to help bridge the urban-rural divide in development.
Speaking at the inauguration of the two-day State-level conference of youth awardees, organised by the Department of Youth Services and Sports here on Thursday, he said: "The plans chalked out for development of the State are urban-centric. For overall development, we should also concentrate on the rural areas. The educated youth should help the Government bridge the urban-rural divide."
Mr. Hedge stressed on the need for a youth policy in the State. He also said that more employment generation programmes needed to be formulated.
"Political parties are misguiding the youth. Youth need to be moulded in a proper manner, for which values are important. The youth should work towards reforming society, so that the country can prosper," he said.
Later, Mr. Hegde interacted with the youth awardees. Asked about the Lokayukta's demand for more teeth, he said the statutory body has booked 192 cases and conducted eight raids. "Our work has not got much publicity. Our demand for more power is still being discussed. We will continue to crack down on corrupt officials irrespective of whether it is granted," he added.

Cholesterol levels are a great measure of your cardiovascular health. Unfortunately, many people work towards lowering their "bad" cholesterol (LDL), while forgetting that there is "good" cholesterol (HDL) that needs to be raised.
When it comes to HDL, the higher the cholesterol the better! This may sound confusing to you, and that is why we are going to look closer at LDL and HDL, in addition to finding ways of boosting your "good" cholesterol levels.
The Two Types Of Cholesterol
For those who might be unclear about what cholesterol is, it is a substance found in our cells which works to build healthy body cells. As I mentioned above, there are two types of cholesterol in our body. These include:
Low-Density Lipoproteins (LDL)
LDL carries cholesterol through our body, transporting it to cells in our organs and tissues. However, if our body has excess cholesterol, the extra cholesterol circulates aimlessly throughout our body until is eventually deposited within our vessel walls- this is called plaque.
This plaque narrows the blood vessels and eventually blocks blood flow, often resulting in coronary heart disease. It is small wonder why LDL cholesterol is nicknamed "bad" cholesterol.
High-Density Lipoproteins (HDL)
HDL works to pick up all the excess cholesterol circulating in our blood, eventually transporting these cholesterol particles to the liver where it is broken down. Therefore, the higher your HDL levels are the lower LDL cholesterol you will have in your blood. Thus it is referred to as the "good" cholesterol.
Ways To Raise HDL Cholesterol
The methods of raising HDL that I will outline below consist mainly of lifestyle changes. Changing even the smallest habits you have can have a dramatic effect on your HDL levels. Here are a few ways of boosting your HDL cholesterol:
- Quit smoking: While quitting smoking is difficult for many people, it can result in an increase of up to 10% in HDL cholesterol levels.
- Lose weight: For every 6 lbs of weight you lose, you can increase your HDL by 1 mg/dL. This means that by shedding off excess pounds you can dramatically improve your HDL level.
- Exercise more: Physical activity is great for increasing HDL cholesterol, and aerobic exercise in particular can lead to a 5% increase in HDL in just two months. If you walk, run, swim, cycle, do outdoor chores, and play sports for 30 minutes five times a week, expect great results.
- Drink a moderate amount of alcohol: Consuming alcohol in moderation has been shown to increase HDL cholesterol. Red wine in particular is recommended for everyone seeking to increase their HDL. Healthy men can drink two 5oz glasses of wine a day, while women can drink one. However, if you do not drink alcohol then do not feel pressured to follow this point.
- Consume Orange Juice: OJ contains flavanoid and hesperidin, and a recent study showed that consuming a few glasses of OJ a day for an entire month can increase your HDL by 21%. Tangerine juice can also be used as an alternative, but it should be taken with less frequency because it is high in calories.
- Boost your vitamin B: Two B vitamins have been shown to boost HDL, and these are niacin (B-3) and pantothenic acid (B-5). You can take these B vitamins in supplement form; however you should consult with your doctor because they have side effects.
- Take medication: Apart from the B vitamin supplements talked above, you can consider taking fibrates and statins which have been shown to raise HDL levels.
- Choose a healthy fat diet: A healthy diet consists of some fat, but this fat should be limited. You should avoid foods that are composed of saturated and trans fats, as they raise LDL cholesterol which in turn damages your blood vessels. In fact, saturated fats should make up less than 7% of your daily calories.
Instead your fat intake should come from mono-unsaturated and poly-unsaturated fats, as they have been shown to improve the anti-inflammatory abilities of HDL. Foods that contain these healthy fats include olives, canola oils, nuts (walnuts, Brazil nuts, almonds), peanuts, fish, seeds (flaxseed and flaxseed oils), and cheese.
- Eat fatty fish: In a continuation from the point above, fatty fish like salmon have been shown to increase HDL levels. By consuming fatty fish and foods containing omega-3 fatty acids once or twice every week, you can improve your HDL.
- Cut down on sugar: The more calories resulting from sugar, the lower HDL levels you will have. Therefore if you cut down on high-sugar foods so that they account for less than 5% of your calories, you can increase your "good" cholesterol.
- Eat whole grains: Fiber-rich whole grains like oat bran, oatmeal, and whole wheat products have been shown to boost HDL levels.
- Eat more dark chocolate: Moderate amounts of dark chocolate (1.5oz daily) improve the anti-oxidant properties of HDL.
- Eat red and purple veggies and fruits: Red and purple fruits and veggies have been shown to raise HDL and lower LDL. These include plums, purple cabbage, grapes, raspberries, eggplant, and apples.
With this information you can start implementing the lifestyle changes that will see you increasing your HDL levels in the months to come. Good luck on this journey!

Osu Ora Goku! lol j/k, I'm Ryan, that one guy on that one video for that one TokyoPOP contest, http://americasgreatestotaku.com/video/app-vid-los-angeles-ryan , with all that stuff! lol I've been collecting since I was a wee lad, went hardcore nuts during High School but went mostly anime during college.
Here's my blog thingie:
As you can see, I have a Disneyland Annual Pass. I go there like once a week. A lot of collectors don't realize that you can bring figures there. YOU CAN! There's just a few things to keep in mind... a) there's a lot of people b) that swarm of people make it hard to take pics sometimes. There are a lot of rules, when entering Disneyland and California Adventure, 1. no weapons or whatever dangerous objects. 2. No pervy stuff (cameras everywhere... So, with that said, I'd stay clear from bringing large figure accessories like Cloud's Buster sword and leave the pervy figures at home (it's a park for KIDS). Now, when carrying your figs into the park, I like to have a "murse" (Man-purse) or what I call my "sketch-book bag". It's big enough to hold a couple of figures and a sketch book. Usually, when carrying figma or Nendoroids, I have them in Ziplock bags. They're easily accessed and protect them slightly. Setting the figs up and taking the pic, that's the hard part. YOU WILL GET STARED AT... don't pay attention to them. Sometimes, and this is rare, you will get some compliments from other photogs. This is awesome. SO, if you ever do decide to use Disneyland (Anaheim) as your figure environment and you happen to see some other doing the same thing, don't be afraid to say, "Hey!" Cos it's a Small World After All! lol

Con: Johnson's outspoken support for legalizing marijuana may help him raise money among advocates of that position but it could also limit his support among Republicans who might otherwise be drawn to other parts of his small-government agenda. Johnson may also be hampered in the GOP primaries by his support for abortion rights.
Con: Santorum's biggest weakness is that it is hard to make the case that you should be your party's presidential nominee when you were defeated in your most recent bid for re-election to statewide office. And yet that is exactly the situation that Santorum finds himself in: The Pennsylvania Republican was defeated in 2006 by Democrat Bob Casey. Santorum has also been criticized by Mark McKinnon, a former Bush and McCain adviser, as being "dangerous" for the future of a GOP that needs to attract Latinos.
Con: Pataki actively flirted with running for president in 2008 but ultimately passed on the race. Many of the questions which were raised then are still relevant now: How does a Republican who supports abortion rights and gun control win the nomination of a party that has become increasingly conservative?

Counseling Widowers
By Jason M. Troyer
Routledge – 2014 – 224 pages
Series: The Routledge Series on Counseling and Psychotherapy with Boys and Men
Routledge – 2014 – 224 pages
Series: The Routledge Series on Counseling and Psychotherapy with Boys and Men
Working with widowers can be one of the most challenging parts of a therapist's career. Despite the need for better research and professional guidance, therapists have often been left alone to confront a group struggling with high rates of suicide, mortality, physical health problems, and depression. Counseling Widowers builds from the latest developments in grief research and men's studies to bridge the gap between counseling practice and the needs of bereaved men. In these pages, therapists will find tools for adjusting their clinical strategies to work more effectively with these men. Through a more empathic understanding of widowers, therapists can help them build from their strengths as they face the loss of their partner.
"Jason Troyer has provided an elegant and extremely useful understanding of the contributions therapists may make with grieving widowers, a population that is little understood and seldom considered in either grief research or therapy training. By sharing an instrumental model of engagement that is consistent with masculine development, readers will benefit from the beginning to the end of this very interesting, engaging, and informative text."
—Arthur M. Horne, PhD, distinguished research professor and dean emeritus, University of Georgia
"Counseling Widowers provides a thoroughly engaging review of the scholarly work on grief and loss and the psychology of men. Readers can expect to gain a more sensitive understanding of the pain, struggle, and existing resources of men experiencing the loss of their partner. The pragmatic clinical suggestions will greatly enhance the therapeutic understanding and skills of those working with men experiencing grief. This is a much needed and long overdue contribution of the field."
—Matt Englar-Carlson, PhD, professor of counseling and codirector of the Center for Boys and Men, California State University–Fullerton
"In this well-written book, Jason Troyer provides therapists and others who want to assist widowers with a full review of the relevant literature on grief and helping. He uses a gender-awareness perspective that maximizes the ability to understand and be effective to men in their time of need."

A simple, convenient, and efficient method for highly sensitive Raman detection is made by using a Au nanoparticle (AuNP)-embedded polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) elastomer, referred to as AuNP-PDMS. When this AuNP-PDMS layer is applied to a surface, it can dramatically enhance the Raman signal of detected molecules. Moreover, it can be used for sensitive chemical imaging on solid substrates. As a proof of concept, patterned chemical images of p-aminothiophenol and methylene blue on a Ag substrate are obtained after this chemically patterned Ag substrate is covered by AuNP-PDMS.

Hesh-Bopana-Paes.. Olympic controversy
The issue of Paes/Bhupathi is an old (and enuf already) affair... and this is another horrible way to come out again...
Bhupathi told Times Now -- "He (Paes) publicly and privately stabbed me in the back in November, last year, and things can't be turned around. We don't speak and have no camaraderie,"
Anyone know any insights into that November incident.. and other internal details? :confused:
is what i read this morning. What surprises me is that Bhupathi says the decision to pair Paes and him is based on ego and not logic, whereas to me it looks like Bhupathi has the ego issue in playing with Paes.
We don't have Paes' angle on this, but i do remember that a couple years back Hesh and Bopanna were revolting against Paes being the DC captain. Doesn't speak too well for Hesh/Bops.
Can someone tell me what are the achievements of the Hesh/Bops pair ? Do they stand a chance of a medal ?
These guys are given 3 lakh rupees a month for training? Does it really cost that much for court time, equipment, and coach?
"I have no reaction to the recent statements made by Mahesh Bhupati to the media. I have always maintained that I will play with whoever the selection committee and AITA choose and this continues to be my stand," said a statement sent by Paes exclusively to NDTV on Saturday.
He, though, added that he would prefer to partner Rohan Bopanna but that too for professional reasons.
"It is a well known fact that when asked by the AITA, I have expressed my preference to play with Rohan Bopanna as my partner in the Olympics 2012, based on his physical fitness and big serve.
"Winning a medal at the Atlanta Olympics is the most cherished memory I have in my tennis career. To play for our flag, and represent India for the 6th time at the Olympics, is my greatest honour. I will, as I always have in the past, put my best foot forward," said Paes.
Indian people here I would like to ask you guys something. What is their socio-economical background? I am talking about caste system and stuff. Thanks in advance.
I think it was Gimmelstob who related the story on TV. Paes told Bhupathi that he was going to partner with Bopana for the upcoming year's ATP schedule. Bupathi asked about the Olympics and Paes said "I plan on playing the Olympics with you".
Bhupathi then turned around and called Bopana with this development and the two agreed to play the year together kind of giving Paes a dose of his own medicine.
Was it Mike Bryan that Paes referred to as "an angry little man"?
Bhupathi doesn't trust Paes
NEW DELHI: Indian tennis star Mahesh Bhupathi has refused to play with Leander Paes at the Olympics, saying he does not trust his erstwhile partner, a report said Saturday.
The All-India Tennis Association (AITA) on Friday named the ageing duo for the mens doubles event in London even though Bhupathi had publicly stated he wanted to play with his current partner Rohan Bopanna.
Bhupathi reportedly told the Hindustan Times newspaper on Saturday that he would never play again with Paes, who he has won three Grand Slam doubles titles with.
Doubles is not only about serve and volley, its about mutual respect and trust, Bhupathi told the paper from London where he is preparing for Wimbledon with Bopanna.
I dont trust him (Paes) after he dumped me without any warning at the end of last year.
Let's remember that Bhupathi plays with Sania who is a Muslim, Sania has paired with Peer who is Jewish, Bopanna has paired with Qureshi, a Pakistani, so at this level things like faith and caste do no play a role.
Acco to some folks here, their initial problem began once in a hotel lobby over some Indian actress. They got into fisticuffs over her. Perhaps everything now is clouded by that and they can't shake it off.
It's sad, and quite a national shame.
Just saw today's paper. Bhupathi says that if he says No to Paes then even Bopanna will say No.
Also, he says he is willing to pay back the $6000 pm training grant.
He does add that he will consider this with his family before giving it in writing to the Federation.
btw, Bhupathi-Bop lost at AEGON, as did Paes-Anderson.
I don't get why they don't just send two teams instead of insisting on pairing up two guys who don't get along.
BTW, my father and Lee's father were colleagues.
That does not mean Lee and I have similar tennis skills.
He could use a lot of improvement.
somehow Paes face looks sleeky.. he is a kind of sneaky, cocky guy.. no wonder he has so many difference partner over the years.. yes.. he's a talented double player but too bad sneaky guy will push people away.. !!
this must be some kind of mistake. it can't be. there is never controversy surrounding Paes.

- Denver hospital hobbled after death probe
Nearly a month after the state ordered it to stop performing surgeries, the Colorado Orthopaedic and Surgical Hospital is in such critical condition financially that it may have to close.
In a letter sent Tuesday, St. Joseph Hospital chief executive and COSH board member Robert A. Minkin told Exempla employees that the hospital has only enough money to pay the staff for two more weeks.
The state health department ordered the hospital to stop surgeries as of July 7 after a young woman who had surgery at the hospital died. The state and COSH leaders continue to work out a Plan of Correction that would allow the hospital to resume operations.
Since it halted surgeries, the hospital has continued paying the more than 90 nurses, lab techs, clerks and others who work there, said Dr. Ted Parks, COSH's chief of staff.
"We kept them at their regular salary; that's what we feel is the right thing to do. We've used time to do extra training," Parks said.
He said he and other hospital leaders met with employees Tuesday to update them.
"Even for a robust company, if you're out of business for a month, that's a hard pill to swallow. We're a fledgling company, and we're not set up to garner a lot of profits," Parks said.
In his e-mail, Minkin said board members discussed options at a meeting Monday.
"Since COSH continues to generate expenses, including payroll expenses, without generating income during this period, those options include the possibility of making staffing changes, reorganizing and possibly closing," the letter stated.
Parks said he and the other physician owners are considering ways to raise enough money to sustain the hospital until it can resume doing surgeries.
"We're looking at off-the-wall ideas, like outside investors, basically anything we can do to sustain the facility," he said.
"We're facing some serious financial challenges. We're trying to be creative in keeping the facility open. Our goal is to keep the facility open."
Exempla and National Surgical Hospitals are financial partners in COSH, and Parks said owners may ask them for more money.
The 42-bed doctor-owned hospital, which opened in September, specializes in orthopedic and neurologic surgery.
Once the state and COSH leaders agree on a Plan of Correction, another inspection would be conducted, said Dr. Ned Calonge, the state's chief medical officer.
"We could inspect as early as next week," Calonge said. "If they pass, they could resume surgeries right after that."

Heather, Phill, Allen:
Thank you for the kind words.
Heather, sorry to hear that the package was bent, to fit in your mail slot. I had thought, the the stiffer package would suffice to discourage that, given the bubble packs I had used previously experienced the same treatment. I guess where there is a will there is a way. Maybe I will need to add additional cardboard to stiffen the package more.
Eagerly awaiting your contributions.

My name is Brownie. I'm a handsome brown dutch who is just the perfect size for holding in your arms. I was featured on the front page of the San Jose Mercury News, 7/2009, when the Moreland School Great Rabbit Rescue story broke. "Run for your life" was the caption. Many people remember me as the baby bunny trying to dodge death by dog chasing or teenage shootings. I was so fortunate to have been rescued as a baby bunny. I was living with a buddy bunny from Moreland but over time he wanted a girl friend and now I'm on my own. I might like a girlfriend bunny of my own, too, someday. My foster mom had children and a cat, so I don't mind older children who are kind to me and cats don't bother me much anymore. I enjoy being petting and don't mind being carried. I do like snuggling in my fleece bed covered by my willow tent so that's included in my adoption since it's my most favorite place to be. I'm looking forward to having a forever home and family to spoil me and give me all the TLC a bunny needs.
Thank you SaveABunny for posting on your website.
My adoption donation is $50. check out www.PAWSforSJACS.org for more information on the animals helped by the PAWS medical fund.

At the heart of Pakistan's complaint about Balochistan, is India's growing influence in neighbouring Afghanistan. Pakistan had invested heavily in Afghanistan and put the Taliban government in power to gain strategic depth. But it lost much of its influence when the Taliban was pushed out of Kabul in 2001. The northern alliance leaders who form the core of President Hamid Karzai's government had no use for Pakistan.
Islamabad's diplomatic thrust in the coming months and years will be to get the international community's help to force the roll back of the four Indian consulates in Afghanistan, which have been in place since 2001.
Pakistan Prime Minister Yusuf Raza Gilani, now regarded as closer to the military establishment than President Asif Ali Zardari, was under pressure to somehow get Balochistan into the joint statement. He succeeded perhaps because Prime Minister Manmohan Singh sincerely believes India has nothing to hide. That is fair enough, but the Prime Minister should have known that the move is aimed at dislodging India from Afghanistan.
Pakistan has been saying over the years that Indian consulates operating from Herat, Mazar-e-Sharif, Kandhar and Jalalabad are funding and arming Balochi separatists fighting for autonomy from Pakistan. Kandhar incidentally is just across the border with Balochistan. Since 2001, this has been Pakistan's constant refrain. New Delhi had constantly denied this.
Now however, with Balochistan cast in stone in the joint statement, Pakistan's spin doctors will use it to the hilt to point a finger at India and insinuate on the activities of the consulates in Afghanistan. The western media and western diplomats will be flooded with "material" on Indian meddling in Balochistan.
Little wonder why Indian analysts and former diplomats are disappointed with the joint statement's reference to the B-word. "Balochistan is now permanently embedded as an agenda in India-Pakistan dialogue. It will play out for long, even after Manmohan Singh is no longer the Prime Minister," said former secretary in the foreign ministry K C Singh, who headed the first two rounds of anti-terror talks with Pakistan. What can New Delhi do to minimise the damage? "Make sure it does not become part of the composite dialogue when it is revived," warned Singh.
Retired foreign secretary Kanwal Sibal agreed with Singh. "At the political level probably Balochistan will be on the table, but at the bureaucratic level we must keep it out, such as in the anti-terror mechanism exchanges," Sibal said. "The joint statement gives Pakistan an opportunity to deflect attention from themselves, and point a finger at us, saying Indians have acknowledged Balochistan as an issue."
Analyst K Subrahmanyam, a firm supporter of prime minister Manmohan Singh, said, "It is a blunder all right," but pointed out that because Islamabad's credibility in the international community is so low, it may not be too hard to minimise the fallout. "India, the US and the rest of the international community, all have an understanding on Af-Pak, and Pakistan's constant murmurs on Balochistan are not new. Nobody gives it much credit. We must highlight what special envoy for Af-Pak Richard Holbrooke said recently, that Islamabad had not given any credible evidence of an Indian hand in Balochistan."
Defending the PM, former foreign secretary Salman Haider said, "He extended the canvas of diplomatic exchange. It is nothing more than that: Balochistan worries you, and we are willing to listen to your problem. Frankly, we have nothing to hide. Our consulate in Kandahar is a small little place from where such operations of training and funding Balochis cannot be done. The Pakistanis know it as much as we do." Haider does not believe that Islamabad can use the B-reference against India except domestically.
Former RAW chief A S Dulat, who served as adviser in Vajpayee's PMO, too is not worried. "Big deal. What difference will it make? Pakistan has been saying this for years. You heard what Richard Holbrooke had to say. That's exactly how most international diplomats will take Pakistan's accusations on Balochistan. I don't understand the fuss being made over the joint statement. Personally I think the Prime Minsiter's stature has gone up in the region."

This hostel was great for our first night in sri Lanka. As two young female travelers we felt very safe. They had trustworthy staff and the drivers were excellent. Dinesh is mighty helpful and helped us plan the rest of the trip and also helped organize accommodation with a lovely family. The place next door also does great brekky. Apart from the hostel being great I do reccomend getting out of Colombo asap as there is lots to discover in the amazing hill country and beaches. Cheers!

Kristin's intro: Americans are showing their first indications of improving financial security. In the monthly Financial Security Index, Bankrate.com found that, relative to one year ago, consumers feel their financial security has actually improved. But will it last? Here with some insight is Greg McBride, senior financial analyst at Bankrate.com.
So Greg, it's nice to see that for the first time since polling began in December 2010 that the attitudes of Americans are upbeat when it comes to financial security. In what areas are people feeling better?
Greg: Consumers are feeling better Kristin, and we see this in their feelings of job security, comfort level with debt, their net worth, and how they feel about their overall financial situations. Savings remains the lone sore spot, with those that are less comfortable with their savings outnumbering those that are more comfortable by a margin of more than 2-to-1.
Kristin: The economy is expanding and consumers seem to be benefiting. Are there any risks on the horizon?
Greg: Despite dropping a bit in recent weeks, high gasoline prices are still squeezing consumers, particularly when their incomes have been flat. Nearly 6-in-10 Americans -- 59 percent -- say they have cut back on spending since the beginning of the year, specifically due to high gasoline prices.
Kristin's close: Hopefully we'll see a continued decline in oil prices that gives consumers some much-needed relief at the pump. Thank you Greg. For more information on Bankrate.com's latest Financial Security Index poll, log onto our website, Bankrate.com. Thanks for watching. I'm Kristin Arnold.

Parkinson's patient exploring virtual world
La Costa woman, 86, has few physical limitations in Second Life
"I felt like an artist who had never found her medium. The mouse became my paintbrush," said Richards, whose avatar is "Barbie Alchemi."
After seeing how much joy it brought to her mother, Richards decided 2 1/2 years ago to build Creations Park, a much larger sim for Swenson and other people with Parkinson's, where they could form a support group and raise money for Team Fox, a grass roots fundraising division of the Michael J. Fox Foundation for Parkinson's Research. (Second Life users can shop for online homes, clothes, land and material goods and make donations using "Linden dollars," where 250 LDs equate to $1 U.S.). She also recruited 30 Second Life fashion designers and several visual artists who agreed to sell virtual clothing and paintings in the Creations mall and donate half of their profits to Team Fox.
Last year, Creations visitors raised $4,000 for Team Fox, enough to earn Richards two tickets to the foundation's annual gala in New York City last March, where she met the actor, Fox, who was diagnosed with Parkinson's in 1991. This year, her goal is to raise $12,000.
Richards said one of the biggest challenges now is finding enough people with Parkinson's to visit Creations Park (the Thursday group sessions average 6 to 15 people). There's a negative stigma associated with Second Life, many adults get frustrated trying to learn how to create and move their avatars through virtual space and others don't want to spend the money (it's free to join, but most users spend at least $10 to $20 a month on purchases). Also, some Second Life people with Parkinson's say they don't want to talk about their disability online because it's the one place they can escape it, Richards said.
Maintaining and building Creations has become Richards' full-time, unpaid job but it's worth it for the satisfaction it brings her mother.
"I feel so close to the people there with Parkinson's disease because we know what we're experiencing and other people don't," Swenson said. "We know what it's like to deal with rigidity, we all walk like ducks and we laugh about it and tell Parkinson's jokes."
Swenson said she has also experienced some improvements in her physical mobility as a result of Second Life. Two weeks after starting her avatar in tai chi classes, Swenson said she began walking better and now she can stand up from her chair without needing a motorized lift (something she hadn't been able to do for five years).
Boellstorff said Swenson's belief that she has improved physically through her avatar — which he calls "the Fran Effect" — may be triggered by mirror neurons, where neurons in the brain trigger the mind into imagining it is performing the same action the eyes see someone else doing. He has been investigating Swenson's experience with Donna Davis, a strategic communications professor at the University of Oregon, who wrote her dissertation on relationships in Second Life.
Davis said she was so intrigued by the "Fran Effect," she built an adjoining island called Frantastica where she now hosts the weekly Parkinson's support group sessions, in hopes of learning more about how the avatars can help patients. So far, no other member has reported a similar experience but all report that they're less depressed and more active socially.

TOKYO, Dec. 3, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Ajinomoto Co., Inc. (Ajinomoto Co.) today announced that the EU Commission has just published the Implementing Decision authorizing the placing on the market of dihydrocapsiate (DHC) as a novel food ingredient under Regulation (EC) No 258/97 of the European Parliament and of the Council (http://eur-lex.europa.eu/LexUriServ/LexUriServ.do?uri=OJ:L:2012:327:0049:0051:EN:PDF).
"The entirely novel characteristics of DHC and the benefit of increasing energy expenditure safely will enable our customers in the EU food and beverage industry to innovate completely new and exciting applications for the consumer," said Shoji Tsubuku, General Manager of Ajinomoto Co., Inc.
Dihydrocapsiate has held GRAS status from the U.S. FDA as a food ingredient since March 2009 but the EU approval is particularly important, as it will drive global expansion into a much wider range of food products throughout Europe.
About Dihydrocapsiate
Dihydrocapsiate is found naturally in chili peppers and is a member of the capsinoid family of compounds. It is structurally similar to capsaicin, the substance responsible for the sensation of hotness in chili peppers, which has long been recognized to increase metabolism and energy expenditure. Like capsaicin, capsinoids are naturally occurring substances that activate receptors in the body and can favorably affect energy expenditure, but they do not taste hot. Ajinomoto Co., Inc. has conducted an extensive program of animal and human studies on capsinoids, and dihydrocapsiate received a positive opinion on safety from the European Food Safety Authority in July this year.
About Novel Food
Novel foods or novel food ingredients have no history of significant consumption in the European Union prior to May 15, 1997. Any food or food ingredient that falls within this definition must be authorized according to the Novel Food legislation, Regulation (EC) No 258/97.
About GRAS

How do APIs and IoT relate? The answer is not as simple as merely adding an API on top of a dumb device, but rather about understanding the architectural patterns for implementing an IoT fabric. There are typically two or three trends: Exposing the device to a management framework Exposing that management framework to a business centric logic Exposing that business layer and data to end users. This last trend is the IoT stack, which involves a new shift in the separation of what stuff happens, where data lives and where the interface lies. For instance, it's a mix of architectural styles ...

Pot Legal Joe Catfish, present their newest music video on Legalize.co! We interviewed Don Holifield who posted on our Facebook site after reviewing his music video. Don an outspoken cannabis activist since the 70's expressed his willingness to reach out to the world and let it be known it is now legal! Don who admittedly has had many run ins with the law over smoking marijuana said he is no longer afraid since he now is a marijuana card toting toker. Don said he personally wrote the lyrics to his newest song and actually recorded it on a whim in his very own studio. If you listen to the words, his message is pretty simple, but I will let you be the judge of that. The video has the aroma of a dimly lit bar from the 70's with a packed out standing room only with thick smoke in the air with beer sipping hippies jamming to pot legal. It was a pleasure interviewing such a fine man such as Don, he was being real and is one of those guys who says it like it is. Read More

Is Marijuana Awful for your HeartMay 2, 2014 | Legalize
Dr. Max Gomez reported a study discharged a week ago discovered marijuana is awful for your heart. Yet there's another confirmation it may have the capacity to help treat some cerebrum infections.There's confirmation that medicinal marijuana can ease ache, sickness and regurgitating created by a mixed bag of sicknesses and medication medicines. Subsequently, 21 states and the District of Columbia have some rendition of sanctioned medicinal marijuana with shifting limitations from state to state, Gomez reported. Notwithstanding, there's some confirmation of its viability in patients with various sclerosis. Numerous patients with weakening mind maladies turn to marijuana after conventional medicines come up short, Gomez reported. Another review from the American Academy of Neurology shows that marijuana pills or shower can help a few MS side effects. "The ones that were helped the most were pain, spasticity, which is tightness of the muscles, difficulty walking, which is usually related to spasticity," said Dr. Barbara Koppel, Professor of neurology at New York Medical College. Yet the discoveries propose marijuana is not successful in treating Parkinson's malady or epilepsy seizures. Dr, Koppel said that doesn't mean the medication doesn't work. Rather as of right now, there isn't sufficient research in those regions including smoked marijuana.
"There were too few patients studied in the rigorous manner that we need in order to classify and say something conclusive." Koppel said. Smoking marijuana is not without dangers including heart and lung harm and cam weaken taking in and memory observation and judgment. Yet with marijuana now legitimate in numerous spots specialists trust it will be simpler to direct more thorough studies to get a clearer picture of its dangers and profits.

Obama Eager to Work with CongressApril 8, 2014 | Legalize
Legalize.co reports — The Obama organization might be eager to work with congress if legislators need to
take cannabis off the rundown of what the national government acknowledges the most perilous pills,
Attorney General Eric Holder said Friday.
" We'd be more than glad to work with Congress if there is a desire to look at and reexamine how the
drug is scheduled, as I said there is a great degree of expertise that exists in Congress," Holder said
throughout a house Appropriations Committee hearing. " It is something that ultimately Congress
would have to change, and I think that our administration would be glad to work with Congress if such a
proposal were made."
A few parts of Congress have approached the organization to minimization cannabis on its own without
sitting tight for congressional movement. Under the elected Controlled substances Act, the lawyer
general has the power to " remove any drug or other substance from the schedules if he finds that the
drug or other substance does not meet the requirements for inclusion in any schedule." Holder didn't
show Friday that he might be ready to do that singularly. Read More
