60 minute one-on-one Interview
Detailed Description:
HIV-infected smokers are at increased risk for life-threatening diseases, such as pneumonia. To date, very little is known about the tobacco consumption characteristics of this at-risk population of smokers, but it has been well documented that they are at high risk for smoking-related co-morbidities. In addition, few effective cessation strategies have been described in HIV-infected populations. A specialized smoking cessation that combines recommendations from an existing scientifically-valid clinical guideline with Motivational Interviewing a new pharmacotherapeutic agent, may be an effective mechanism to apply to this vulnerable population of smokers. This initial, efficacy investigation has the potential to guide future treatment and research pertaining to tobacco cessation, respiratory illness and HIV.

So, clearly the Orioles aren't going to win the Anthony Rendon sweepsteaks. Thanks Buck Showalter!
Now we get to turn our attention to other members of one of the deepest drafts in recent memory. This college crop of pitchers is insane. Gerrit Cole, Matt Purke, Matt Barnes, Sonny Gray, Taylor Jungmann. I'd be happy with any of them.
The high-school class is deep too, and one guy I'd love to keep an eye on is Dylan Bundy, the little, more talented bro of our own Bobby Bundy.
And the Orioles should have their pick of any of the top hitters in this draft, like George Springer, who is an athlete unlike any that we have in the system.
Anyone have any preferences on who the O's should take with their top five pick?

LISBON – Its not every day smashing cars together in a muddy field is considered constructive, but the Lisbon Volunteer Fire Department is banking on that activity to help it raise money.
The department is hosting its third annual demolition derby fundraiser on July 14.
Anyone who has seen it before loves it, and anyone who hasnt seen it will fall in love with it, said Mark G. Hyde, an emergency medical technician and the event organizer.
The demolition derby since its start three years ago has grown to become one of the departments largest fundraisers, Mr. Hyde said.
More than 30 cars of various sizes are expected to compete, Mr. Hyde said, and there will be small, medium, large and outlaw class heats leading up to the final.
Outlaw class vehicles include four-wheel-drive trucks and vans, Mr. Hyde said.
Anything goes, he said.
The rules are old school, Mr. Hyde said. Reinforcing is not allowed. The cars are pretty much just stripped down; move the battery, move the fuel tank and go for it.
And, of course, the heats dont end until theres only one car left running.
This translates into a solid four to six hours of demolition, Mr. Hyde said.
The July 14 crashing and smashing starts at noon at the Firemens Field on the Pray Road.
Spectators will be charged $5 and children under the age of 12 are admitted free.
Mr. Hyde said concessions, including ice cream, will be available all day.
Its a family event, and we usually pull in a pretty good crowd, Mr. Hyde said.
Anyone looking to compete in the demolition derby may register anytime until 11:30 a.m. on July 14.
Registration is $25 and the prize for winning the day is $600.
To preregister or learn more about the rules, call Mr. Hyde at 528-5044, John Hyde at 322-1930 or the Lisbon Fire Station at 393-5531.

|Local officials discuss their rescue strategy for retrieving six miners lost in the Crandall Canyon Mine.
Early Monday morning, a cave-in at the Crandall Canyon mine in Huntington Canyon which trapped six workers in the underground shafts.
At approximately 3:47 a.m. on Aug. 6, a call came into the Emery County Sheriff's Office dispatch center reporting that an earthquake had occurred and the epicenter was in the vicinity of the UtahAmerican Energy Inc. mining operation in Crandall Canyon.
At approximately 3:51 a.m., the Crandall Canyon reported damage at the mine.
The earthquake was believed to have occurred 1,500 feet underground and approximately 5,000 feet south of where the six miners remained trapped late Monday afternoon.
During the day, assessments were being made at the scene and rescue crews from at least two other mines were brought in to locate the underground workers.
Monday afternoon, a press conference was scheduled and UtahAmerican chief executive officer Bob Murray spoke to the media. He stated that he came to the scene from Montana at the first call reporting trouble within the mine. Upon arriving in Emery County, he visited missing miners' families.
"Our company employs 3,300 employees throughout the United States," said Murray. "Six employees have been trapped in the mine as a result of an earthquake and damage underground has occurred. Hopefully, we will rescue them."
Four men working in the same area escaped without difficulty. The names of the trapped miners have not been released. However, the family members were notified immediately.
|Utah American Energy owner Robert Murray conducts a press conference at the Crandall Canyon rescue command post. Mine rescue and public safety officials are searching for six unaccounted for local coal miners.
Along with UtahAmerican officials, United States Mine Health and Safety were at the scene of the incident.
"Ted Farmer is the supervisor of the Price office for MSHA, stated Murray. "He is on the scene and so is Doug Johnson, the director of our corporate services."
"We have the best personnel on the site. We have professionals from safety and rescue teams," continued the company's chief executive officer. "The focus of this effort is the evacuation of the trapped miners. We know where the men are located and we will get to them. It's just a matter of how quickly. All that is humanly possible is being done and as quickly as possible."
According to the authorities, the miners are trapped approximately 3.4 miles from the entrance of the mine.
As of Monday evening, there had been no contact with the trapped underground coal miners.
Murray stated the area where the miners are trapped is in crosscuts 126-130. The site is a large area which reportedly has plenty of air and water. Murray hoped the miners are back behind the caved-in part of the mine.
The company's chief executive officer emphasized that there are four methods being utilized to access the trapped miners, but would not elaborate on the matter. He said he would let everyone know which method had been successful when the time comes.
Murray said he wanted to dispel the rumor that active mining had caused an earthquake.
When asked what Castle Valley resident could do to assist the rescue efforts, the chief executive officer simply said to pray.
"Our company has a great safety record. In 20 years, we have never had a serious accident," stated Murray. "There is a good chance we will find the men unblemished. We have 71 miners employed at the Crandall Canyon mine. We also operate the Tower mine, West Ridge mine and the Wildcat loadout facility. We employ 700 people in this area."
|One of the reporters at the press conference near Crandall Canyon points out on a map where the cave-in took place in the mine on Monday morning. There is some dispute over whether the cave in was the result of an earthquake or if seismic instruments recorded the shocks from the cave-in instead.
As he fielded questions about the cave-in, a reporter asked the chief executive officer about gases in the mine.
Murray indicated that Crandall Canyon is not a mine that has gas problems.
The chief executive officer also told the reporters that he has been in mining for 50 years and has been trapped before.
"The safety of the employees is our primary concern," stated Murray. "This is very serious and we are leaving no stone unturned in getting these men out. Hope and prayers and the best expertise available is all we have."
Murray pointed out that there are four rescue teams and other employees on the site.
The company is also moving in machinery from other mines and some are also being brought in by helicopter.
Murray said updates on information will occur every two hours.
"Trust us, we are doing everything we can," said Murray. "I talked to the families and they aren't saying much. I hope it all turns out to be good news. We have numerous men underground working to get them out."
On Monday afternoon, it was not known how much area had been impacted by the cave-in, but officials speculated that the area might only involved a few hundred yards.
While there was considerable speculation at the site that the cave-in had been caused by an earthquake, an e-mail press release from the University of Utah indicated that the seismic activity was reportedly triggered by the underground disturbance and collapse of the mine.
"There is no evidence that the earthquake triggered the mine collapse," stated the release. which was quoting Walter Arabasz, the director of seismographic stations for the school. "Some news media are reporting incorrectly that the quake triggered the mine collapse, apparently because the cave-in first was reported about an hour after the quake."
Arabasz said the seismic wave patterns from the quake appear consistent with the idea that the mine collapse was the source of the seismic waves recorded as the earthquake.

Hacking & Warez
Future of War
Sunday morning, 7 a.m., somewhere in US Eastern Standard Time: Mad Hatter gets up, has a glass of Seagram's Ginger Ale and a cigarette, and checks his machine, which has been running automated scripts all night. He looks for errors and then reads his email. He has 30 messages from all over the world: some fan mail, a couple of flames, a few snippets of interesting information, three or four requests - some clear, some PGP-encoded. After a quick espresso and another cigarette, he surveys the contents of a few private FTP sites, filters through a bunch of new files, and then reroutes the good stuff to his newsreader. After breakfast with the family, another wave of automated scripts kicks in. The ISDN connection hums to life. A steady stream of bytes departs his machine 128 Kbps and vanishes into the ether. By the end of the day Mad Hatter, a ringleader of the software piracy group called the Inner Circle, will have poured 300 Mbytes of illegal "warez" onto the Internet.
Monday morning, 9 a.m., Greenwich Mean Time: Phil arrives for work in Bracknell, England, in a suit and tie, just back from a few days in Switzerland. Inside Novell UK's glossy five-story headquarters, he lets himself into his office. It looks like a mad, bad bedroom - shiny desktops and derelict ones, disemboweled minitowers and battered servers, every last expansion slot distended with DAT machines, CD-ROM burners, extra hard drives. A metal shelf unit contains a rack of monitors, some video equipment, spare keyboards. Everything is wired insanely to a single ISDN line. After a coffee, Phil boots up and skims his email. Twenty minutes later he has ceased to be Phil. For the next week, he will pretend to be a trader, a courier, a cracker, a newbie, a lamer, a lurker, a leecher. He is an undercover Internet detective, a "technical investigator." He spends his days roving the Net, finding people like Mad Hatter - and busting them.
This is a story about a universe with two parallel, overlapping worlds. One is the familiar, dull world of the software industry, with its development costs, marketing teams, profit, and loss. Phil's world, at least part of the day.
And then there is warez world, the Mad Hatter's world, a strange place of IRC channels and Usenet groups, of thrills, prestige, and fear. A world of expert crackers who strip the protection from expensive new software and upload copies onto the Net within days of its release. A world of wannabes and collectors, whose hard drives are stuffed like stamp albums, with programs they'll never use. And a world of profit pirates, who do exactly what the software makers say: rip off other people's stuff and sell it for their own benefit.
In Phil's world, software is a valuable tool that commands high prices - programs like QuarkXPress, Windows NT, and AutoCAD, costing thousands of dollars a shot. But in Mad Hatter's world, those sticker prices means nothing - except inasmuch as more expensive programs are harder to crack, and that makes them the most desirable, spectacular trophies of all.
In Phil's world, warez are a menace. In warez world, Phil is.
Filthy lucre
Phil's world is full of nasty numbers. Antipiracy organizations like the Software Publishers Association and Business Software Alliance estimate that more than US$5 million worth of software is cracked and uploaded daily to the Net, where anyone can download it free of charge. A running scoreboard on the BSA Web site charts the industry's losses to piracy: $482 a second, $28,900 a minute, $1.7 million an hour, $41.6 million a day, $291.5 million a week. A lot of that is garden-variety unlicensed copying and Far East-style counterfeiting. But an estimated one-third leaks out through warez world, which can be anywhere there's a computer, a phone, and a modem.
This is bad news for the business. Think of the lost revenue! The lost customers! "It's a frightening scenario out there," says Martin Smith, Novell's product-licensing manager for Europe, the Middle East, and Africa. "We are seeing a very, very rapid development of crime on the Internet."
He's not being paranoid: look at the thousands of messages that pour through alt.binaries.warez.ibm-pc and the other Usenet sites that are the warez world's pulsing heart. In a typical week, you'll see Microsoft Office Pro and Visual C++, Autodesk 3D Studio MAX, SoftImage 3D, SoundForge, Cakewalk Pro Audio, WordPerfect, Adobe Photoshop 4.0 - virtually every high-end package in existence. All this plus impossibly early betas and alphas. Add a smattering of mundane Web tools, Net apps, registered shareware, games, and utilities, and you have everything for the forward-looking computer user.
David McCandless (firstname.lastname@example.com), a London-based writer, musician, and film editor, is still bitter about being dethroned as UK Doom champion.

If aesthetic and personal style are both important to you, you've no doubt worked hard on perfecting your living space, work environment, and your personal affairs. In this digital age, where smartphones are no longer just a luxury, perfect and display your personal style and spice up your routine with a personalized iPhone case. Your iPhone is no doubt one of your most heavily used possessions, so why not create a custom case that truly reflects your personality? Tiny Prints carries cases for iPhone 5's, 4's and new custom cases for the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 plus. Choose between geometric, floral, whimsical and elegant designs, and include one or several of your favorite photos for an ultra-personalized effect.
When you've explored options for yourself, consider a customized iPhone case if you're in the market for an extra-special gift. Include a few photos of those special memories for an added touch of thought and creativity. Matching or themed photos and designs on several cases are also a great gift option for a group of friends or family. Sentiment aside, Tiny Prints' custom iPhone cases are stylish and utilitarian. The cases are durable and shatterproof, and will protect your device against inevitable wear and tear. Choose between slim cases for a sleek look or lined for extra protection. Treat yourself and your loved ones to a custom iPhone case and bring a few extra smiles into daily life.Check out some of our custom iPhone case reviews: "I am so excited for my mom to get this phone cover. She never has pictures with her to show to her friends and now all she will have to do is pick up her phone. It is so cute - my mother lives in VA, but my brother is in NC, and we are in SC so her friends do not get to see all of us together often. I know she will love it. The cover is very hard plastic and will be both attractive and durable! Loved it so much that I bought one for myself. My husband was a little jealous but there are not really any masculine ones..." and "I bought for my wife's new iPhone 5 as a stocking stuffer. Added all our new family pictures we just had done to it and it looks GREAT! I couldn't wait to try it on the phone, so when I had the chance I slipped away with it for a couple minutes and tried it on. I thought I would NEVER get it off! It will be great once she has it on there, but BOY was it hard to remove. No directions come with the phone even though it does come in what looks like was the original box....I am still very excited to see her reaction when she opens it."
"Made this for my mother with pics of my daughter. Came out fabulously and very true to the model that they show you. Used only photos that i had taken with my iPhone and the quality was fantastic. Can't wait to make the next one!"
"I used a picture taken with my cell phone so I was a little concerned about the image quality, but the final product turned out great. Haven't used it enough yet to know if the picture will wear off."
"I put a picture of my husband and my boys on the beach and it turned out beautifully! The quality surpasses my expectations. I purchased the phone case with the liner and I'm very glad I did. I'm not sure the unlined one would offer much protection from falls. I used to use an Otterbox (metro?) but it was just too bulky. This case is perfect! I will definitely reorder when I get a phone upgrade. One thing to note, is that it is not sparkly. It is printed on the plastic that way. I think it's a great design!"
"I used photos of my grandchildren on the phone case and it is AWESOME!! It is so easy to share my grand babies when I want to show them off to friends. Colors are vibrant and true to life."
"I purchased my first case two years ago and was very impressed with how bright the colors were and how clear the pictures were and glad it also was very sturdy the few times I dropped it and nothing happened to my phone. I just upgraded and ordered two so I can change them around, I have had many people ask where I got my phone and explained how easy it was to make and that the only hard part was trying to pick which pictures to use..... have fun"

Surf the Web comfortably, relying on speed, safety, and power of customization.
Mozilla is working on a project that could let a few key Android apps like WhatsApp run on its fledgling mobile operating system, which could keep its prospects alive.
The preview will first launch in New Zealand but then spread to other countries as Firefox tries to break into the world of iOS.
Company behind Firefox accuses the tech giant of making an "aggressive move to override user choice" by designating its Edge as default browser.
The latest update to the browser fixes a number of critical and high-risk vulnerabilities.
Andreas Gal, co-founder of Mozilla's mobile OS project, joins others from the project in a startup to link new devices to the Net. It's part of big changes coming to Firefox OS.
After its $25 phones fail to dent the dominance of Google and Apple, the Firefox backer will try to compete using technological superiority -- and maybe by adding key Android apps, too.
Mozilla is on a path to add core virtual reality support to their Firefox browser, and Khail and Ashley are "scarexcited" about it. Will we ever leave the internet if we can experience it in a VR headset?
On today's show, we check out Bill Nye and the Planetary Society's new privately funded spacecraft, discuss Mozilla's plans for VR, and wonder about the future of 3D-printed apartment buildings.
Mozilla Thunderbird 2 is a fine, free, extensible e-mail client and a solid alternative to pricey Microsoft Outlook 2007 or the free Windows Live Mail.
A partnership with Verizon and other carriers is aimed at bringing the browser-based operating system to wealthy countries. But don't expect ordinary slab-of-glass phones.

Vanderbilt University Spasticity Management Program Evaluation Plan
- Full Text View
- Tabular View
- No Study Results Posted
- Disclaimer
- How to Read a Study Record
People with severe developmental disabilities frequently have comorbidities that make providing care to them more difficult. Spasticity is one such comorbidity. It produces increased muscle tone that can cause stiffness in joints and bodily contortions that can interfere with all of the major types of care provided to participants. Typically, care areas include splinting, hygiene, dressing, transfers, positioning, ambulation, and engaging in other functional activities. Moreover, persons with spasticity often experience pain.
Typically, spasticity is managed by health care providers using a combination of the following therapies:
- Physical / occupational therapy (PT / OT)
- Oral medication
- Botox injections
- Intrathecal baclofen administered by the Medtronic SyncroMed pump (ITB)
- Orthopedic / neurological surgery
Drug: Botulinum Toxin Type A
Drug: Intrathecal baclofen administered by the Medtronic SyncroMed(TM) pump (ITB)
Phase 4
|Study Type:
|Study Design:
|Allocation: Non-Randomized
Endpoint Classification: Efficacy Study
Intervention Model: Single Group Assignment
Masking: Open Label
Primary Purpose: Treatment
|Official Title:
|Vanderbilt University Spasticity Management Program Evaluation Plan
- Total time (in seconds) spent by caregivers to complete a defined care area task at one year followup.
- Categorical rating by blinded, independent reviewer of baseline and one-year care area task videos.
- Range of motion score for each care area goal, assigned by physical therapist and compared at baseline vs. one-year followup.
- Differences in the number of hospital admissions 12 months pre- and 12 months post-program.
- Differences in costs associated with caregiving 12 months pre- and 12 months post-treatment.
- Difference in Physician's global assessment of spasticity at baseline and one-year followup.
|Estimated Enrollment:
|Study Start Date:
|August 2002
|Estimated Study Completion Date:
|February 2006
As individuals are identified as appropriate participants for the Program and consent is obtained, the care team for each person, consisting of both medical and caregiver staff, will define up to three specific care area goals and related tasks for treatment. A comprehensive spasticity management program will then be developed for the individual. Clinical and outcome assessments at baseline and at follow-up will include measures of range of motion, global spasticity according to a modified Ashworth scale, and the time and number of staff required for the task. In addition, video will be obtained of caregivers performing each participant's care area tasks at baseline and follow-up to allow an independent external reviewer to judge task difficulty. Treatment will be provided as outlined by the spasticity management plan. Follow-up evaluations will be conducted when the participant is at least one year from their initial Botulinum injection, or are one year post-implant for ITB participants. When the participant is exited from the study, Survey Physician will be asked to rate the overall impact of the Program on each of the individual's care area tasks.
|Ages Eligible for Study:
|18 Years and older
|Genders Eligible for Study:
|Accepts Healthy Volunteers:
Inclusion Criteria:
- Adult with spasticity residing at Clover Bottom Developmental Center in Nashville, Tennessee.
- Spasticity must interfere with daily functioning.
- Care team must be able to identify at least one treatment goal for the potential participant.
Exclusion Criteria:
- Family or guardian is unwilling to provide written informed consent.
- Spasticity does not interfere with patient's day-to-day care.
- Staff who provide daily care are unable to identify a clear treatment goal.

1:3-scale drivers wanted
Pierre Scerri is pictured taking the bodywork off his 1:3 scale, fully operational 312 PB. The model was built from scratch and took approximately seven years to complete.
You might remember the Ferrari 312 PB as the car that dominated the 1972 World Sports Car Championship with the likes of Mario Andretti, Brian Redman, Jacky Ickx, Arthuro Merzario, Tim Schenken, and Ronnie Peterson handling the driving chores.
The PB didn't lose a single race that season, though it skipped Le Mans because Ferrari reportedly didn't think the cars could go the entire, grueling distance. Nevertheless, it handily bagged the championship that year, racking up nearly twice as many points as the second-place overall finisher, Alfa Romeo.
This undoubtedly impresses you a great deal. However, it's probably safe to say that you're not as impressed with the 312 PB as Pierre Scerri of Avignon, France, was when he began building his 1:3 scale replica of the car.
Words alone can't do this scratch-built model justice, so if your curiosity has been piqued, check out this video of the car, and its creator, here.

I have a couple of quick questions regarding the stripper factory and the beer volcano in Heaven. Does the stripper factory only produce female strippers, or are their male strippers as well? While I imagine Heaven may be full of females pole dancing in nothing but stilleto heels, I'd like to imaging there are some Chippendales gyrating their hips in some skimpy thongs, as well.
As for the beer volcano, what kind of beer is it? I drink Miller Lite, myself, but am open to many other ales, lagers, and the "dog pee" that I drink, too. I was curious as to if there is just one volcano that spews forth one kind of beer, one that erupts in foamy goodness of all kinds, or is there a wide variety of volcanoes for us to imbibe in?
My apologies if these questions have been answered before. I'm new to Pastafarianism and love basking in the glory of His Most Holy Noodliness!

THE PRESEASON SCHEDULE BEGINSSaskatoon gets 'A' group…Travis Hamonic injured
11:25 am, NVMC: Travis Hamonic just appeared to suffer an upper-body injury, possibly to a shoulder, at practice. Working with the "Philadelphia" group after already skating with the first group on ice at camp today, Hamonic got tangled with a teammate in a drill and crashed into the boards behind Dwayne Roloson's goal. After spending five minutes on the bench being attended to by Nates Gato, Hamonic left the ice and went to the trainer's room.
On a positive note, Frans Nielsen is practicing with the second group.
Joining the Islanders for his first day as a camp invitee, Manny Legace is tending the net opposite from Roloson and is working with goalie coach Mike Dunham.
"Philadelphia" Group
Moulson – Nielsen – Kolanos
Hilbert – Hisey – Sim
Haley – Romano – Joensuu
DiBenedetto – Marcinko – Yablonski
Hillen – Gervais
Reese – Kohn
Klementyev – Katic
Anders Eriksson – Hamonic
10:15 am: Looks like the Islanders are sending their A group to Saskatoon.
The first team on the ice at the Coliseum is the same one on first today, and they're scheduled to fly to Saskatchewan early this afternoon. Garth Snow was already on the record with a Saskatoon reporter that Rick DiPietro would make his return to NHL game action there. Expect a minor change or two, but this should be close to what the Islanders' lineup will look like when they travel to play the Flames:
"Saskatoon" Group
Comeau – Tavares – Parenteau
Bailey – Schremp – Niederreiter
Martin – Ullstrom – Hunter
Gillies – Konopka – Rakhshani
MacDonald – Martinek
Eaton – Wisniewski
de Haan – Jurcina
Notes: No announcement or sourced report yet on Kyle Okposo. This is likely not a Mark Streit scenario, but I can't say I'm loving the body language around camp this morning. Comments.

Note: Rick Nash Took Out An Ad In The Columbus Dispatch/Loved In Columbus For Charity Work
Last week the Dispatch ran editorial with the title "Farewell: On the ice and off, Rick Nash has enriched Columbus."
In it, the Dispatch wrote "Nash also distinguished himself with his humility and his largely behind-the-scenes contributions to charity. Nash bought up prime seats to games at Nationwide Arena and donated them to charities. He funded an athletic scholarship at Ohio State University. He made regular visits to sick children at Nationwide Children's Hospital. These were just the high-profile activities. Many of his good works were done quietly and without cameras present."
"Such activities led to Nash being awarded the NHL Foundation award in 2009; the prestigious honor recognizes a player's commitment and service to charities in their communities."
Original Post Below
image via CBJfaninNH who tweets "Shows the class of Rick Nash. Enjoy him
#nyr you won't find a better ambassador to the team"
The text reads:
Dear Blue Jacket Fans,
Thank you for the unwavering support you have shown me over the past nine seasons.
I am so fortunate to have had the chance to call Columbus home and to say proudly that I am from the Buckeye State.
Thanks for the memories. Thanks for everything.
Rick Nash

There's no doubt about it, there's no shortage of diets out there for you to choose from, each promising to be the one to help you finally lose weight and get in shape. The problem is separating the winners from the losers. Pretty much any diet scheme that restricts your calorie intake for long enough will make you lose weight.
This doesn't mean these 'quick-fix' approaches are healthy or sustainable, though. To achieve lasting results, the right diet plan should be flexible and consider and meet your individual needs. Here are our pick of the top 5 diets for women which meet this criteria and actually work. Choose the one that best fits you.
Despite some negative press, the Paleo diet is a good choice for women looking to lose weight. Thanks to it's embargo on processed foods, grains/legumes and dairy, the Paleo diet focuses on natural foods high in protein, healthy fats and vegetable sources of carbohydrate. The Paleo diet is typically used in conjunction with Cross-fit which makes it a good option for women looking to not only lose fat, but build strength, lean muscle and combat aging. See our Paleo Grubs Book Review here.
As the name suggests, this diet plan focuses on raw foods. This means anything that's been cooked, microwaved, processed, genetically modified or exposed to pesticides is off the menu. Naturally, this limits a large amount of food which can raise issues of practicality.
However, following this eating style has shown significant health benefits and is inherently low-calorie. This would be a good approach for women who are health conscious and wish to prolong longevity.
Perhaps the best known diet for women. The key to the success of weight watchers is it's pro-point system. Every approved weight watchers food is assigned a points value based on it's macro-nutrient profile – protein, carbs and fat. The lower the number, the more filling the food. Weight watchers is a good all-round diet which can help make healthy food choices easier by negating the need to examine food labels.
Similar to weight watchers, this well-known diet provides ready-made, calorie/portion-controlled meal packages based on your individual caloric requirements and physical activity levels. This would be an excellent option for busy working women and moms who don't have time to cook and prepare healthy meals.
What working diet list would be complete without a mention to the grapefruit diet. This diet has been popularly touted as a quick and easy way to lose weight and detox the body. Despite it not being a sustainable long-term approach, it can be an effective way to jump-start weight loss and healthy eating thanks to it's low calorie content and it's ability to aid digestion and inflammation.

I have a particular job that requires a watchbill. It is pretty standard in the military, making a watchbill and rotating folks in every four days, every eight days, every month, or every six weeks. It depends on the watch.
Ours is simple. The watchbill coordinator is in charge of making sure everyone on the bill is qualified and no one who has left the command is put up for watch. When I started this particular job, a Chief became my new watchbill coordinator. No problem, right? He'd stood watch for years of his life, no doubt.
Bottom line up front, he was a disaster. Every time he told me the watchbill was good to go, there were people who were long gone from the command on it. He put un-qualled people up for watch. Mistakes that I pointed out to him went uncorrected.
One day, I had it. I complained to the Senior Chief who used to sit near me.
Well, have you told him? He thinks he is doing fine, she said.
Yes, every time it is jacked up, which is always, I tell him. Last month, I scrapped what he did and made up a fresh watchbill myself.
I'll talk to him.
A month goes by and he emailed me to tell me the new watchbill was ready. Looking forward to a mistake-free bill, my hopes were crushed within ten seconds. Officers and Chiefs no longer at the command were on it. And I go over to his desk in person and point out the mistakes.
I complained again to the Senior Chief. All jacked up, like usual.
He is having problems. He got back from his IA in Afghanistan and may have some issues.
I am not hard to please. It is an easy job. I've written hundreds of them. Just get it right.
He may not be the guy.
Just my luck, a Marine Corps Master Sergeant checks into the command. Me and the Lieutenant Commander, who I work for, strike a deal with him. You don't even have to qual for this watch. Can you do a watchbill?
He looks at us like two kids. Watchbill? Of course.
One year later and not one mistake. Great guy. Quiet perfection. Just today, I am at his desk talking about the watch, the folks ready to qual, and the great gun sales at Turner's Outdoorsman. Above his cubicle is a box of vitamins. And the label says something like: Supplements for Military Personnel.
Well, that is kind of goofy, Master Sergeant. Do we really need specialized vitamins?
Um sir, see the model on there? The one in the wheelchair?
That is the Captain's wife. He nods to the desk next to us. She is combat disabled.
Good thing the Captain is not here.
Good thing.
And the final story goes to the Chief who jacked-up the watchbill to begin with. Just yesterday, the Senior Chief invited six of us to have lunch in the Chief's Mess. I've been in there a couple of times and have always enjoyed it. We get in the Goat Locker and the Chief who I wanted to strangle is in there all alone, just staring at TMZ on the teevee.
I'm glad the Master Sergeant came to the command. I would've strangled Chief by now.

Monocular with integrated altimeter
For over 75 years, MINOX has been known for technical innovation in subminiature format. Once again, qualities that made MINOX famous are found in the ultra-compact and robust design of these miniature telescopes. The brilliant optics, shape, color and intelligent design of these monoculars are directly evocative of the legendary MINOX spy cameras. With the MD 6x16, MD 6x16 A and MD 8x16, MINOX has introduced the smallest pocket telescopes in the world.
With the introduction of the MD 6x16 A, our engineers have been able to integrate an electronic module to provide additional features especially interesting for lovers of the outdoors. The easy to read LCD display on the top of the metal housing enables a quick reading of the data like air pressure, temperature, time and altitude.
With a close focus range of 1.5 m, even butterflies can be carefully observed in their immediate surroundings without being disturbed. With an unusually large field of view of 140 m., these tough mococulars are also perfect for viewing distant objects.
Equipped with a neck strap and a practical case, the MINOX MD 6x16, MD 6x16 A and MD 8x16 are the ideal companions for all those who appreciate lightweight equipment but do not want to miss out on any of the action. Thanks to the easy one-hand operation, these mini telescopes can be used for almost any occasion - at sports events, on hiking trips, at the opera or in a theater.

McLean, Va.(WUSA)-- A powerful tool in combating post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) may be getting both the sufferer- and his or her significant other- into therapy.
A study outTuesday in the Journal of the American Medical Association shows couples therapy that tackled both on the PTSD symptoms and the stresses on the relationship made a four-fold impact compared to people not getting that help- and the improvement lasted for months.
Researchers tested 40 couples, each of which included one partner with PTSD. Half of the couples were put on a waiting list for therapy, during which they were allowed to stay intheir currenttherapy as long as it was not for PTSD. The remaining coupleswent tocouples therapy once or twice per week, for a total of 15 sessions.
Dr. Gary Kaplan, D.O. ofThe Kaplan Centerfor Integrative Medicine in McLean says, "PTSD as all mental illness is a family illness, it doesn't just affect the individual it affects everyone in the family.
PTSD is caused by traumatic experiences, which may include combat, natural disasters, serious car accidents, and sexual assaults.
People withthe disorderoften become emotionally withdrawn. They avoid places that remind them of the original trauma.
Around7.8 percent of Americans will experience PTSD at some point in their lives, according to the Nebraska Department of Veterans' Affairs.
Dr. Kaplan says, "This approach of treating it as such is I think exactly spot on and proven through this study to be highly effective."

By CHRISTINE WATKINSRepresentative from District 69
The 2009 Utah State Legislature ended shortly after 11 p.m. last Thursday evening. Wow, what a rush on the last day to get bills passed.
HB 96 passed at 9:30 p.m. This bill will allow individual charter schools one additional opportunity to join the Utah retirement system after they have opened their school. I was the sponsor of this bill and was very pleased it passed.
It was also exciting to speak in support of Senator Hinkins' SB66, renaming our stretch of Highway 6 as the Mike Dmitrich Highway.
I was also the co-sponsor of the Nuclear Energy Resolution; it passed and I received many emails from constituents who were supporting this resolution.
On the other hand it was heartbreaking to see the bill that would have given much needed funding to WETC not make it out of the Senate. The same thing happened to another bill that would have allowed San Juan County to build a larger jail to house inmates from all over the state.
SB 48, a bill that would have allowed teaching to be more of a hobby than a profession was killed on the House floor.
We also killed SB 199, the anti-PTA bill, which was a very controversial bill. I received many emails about that one.
SB 159, the Singapore Math Initiative Program, was also defeated. I have no objections to Singapore Math, but $500,000 for a very exclusive program seemed excessive with the current economic conditions. I spoke against this bill and was relieved when it died. When the economy turns around I will have no problems supporting this program. My years in education have seen the pendulum swing back and forth several times. I firmly believe that strong parent support, a good teacher, and work on the student's part can provide a solid educational background in math. At this time I would much rather see the money used to keep people employed.
I can't tell you how important it is to email or call me to express your ideas or concerns on issues. I need to know how people feel about various issues. A mining bill came to the floor that people in Moab and San Juan were concerned about. It took some research to discover that the bill was narrowly written for Kennecott Mining. Sometimes there are unintended collateral consequences to bills, and this is what San Juan citizens were worried about. They emailed all of the legislators while I worked on some amendments, and they made a very favorable impact on the legislators. Unfortunately, when the sponsor presented the bill he was more convincing than I was, arguing that the bill would not hurt those residents. My amendments failed and the bill passed. I will work with those constituents this year to see if I can draft a bill that will help them.
I believe I had a very successful freshman year on the hill. I was told as a freshman that we should just be quiet, observe, and learn. I did observe and learn, but I was not really good at being quiet. I made good friends on both sides of the aisle and look forward to returning next January. I start interim committees in May. I can also get bills going for the next session. If you have concerns or issues please contact me.
I am glad to be home in our wonderful part of the state. And I appreciate the opportunity to serve you.
