Qiaodan Sports sneakers on sale in China. (Photo/Xinhua)
NBA legend Michael Jordan's trademark lawsuit against Chinese apparel and footwear maker Qiaodan Sports has been rejected by a Beijing court.
Jordan, 49, took legal action against Qiaodan, one of China's largest sports brands, on Feb. 23. Jordan claimed that the brand "deliberately and aggressively" used his name without permission and misled customers into thinking that he had authorized its products.
"Qiaodan" is the former NBA superstar's Chinese name, a transliteration of "Jordan" widely recognized in China. Qiaodan Sports also uses Jordan's number 23 jersey and a symbol similar to Nike's iconic Air Jordan "Jumpman" logo on its merchandise. A 2009 study conducted by a Shanghai marketing company found that 90% of the 400 local people surveyed believed Qiaodan Sports was Michael Jordan's brand.
Yet a Beijing court refused to accept Jordan's claim on Wednesday, saying his surname is neither distinctive nor unique.
In rejecting the case outright, the court has implicitly agreed with what appeared to be a brazen statement from Qiaodan Sports: "There are so many Jordans besides the basketball player," said a Qiaodan representative when the claim was first announced. "There are many other celebrities both in the US and worldwide called Jordan." The spokesperson also said that Jordan's jersey number is "just a number."
The rejection also highlights the difficulties that lie ahead for His Airness if he decides to continue pursuing the matter.
Sources have revealed that Nike, which markets the Air Jordan brand in China, failed in earlier attempts to get China's trademark office to ban Qiaodan Sports from selling under the name. Nike registered a trademark for "Jordan" in the country in 1993 but did not register the Chinese version, enabling Qiaodan Sports to successfully apply for it in 1997.
Chinese trademark law only unequivocally protects the names of famous public figures such as Chinese political leaders. For famous people not in the public sector, protection is afforded by Article 31 of the Trademark Law of the PRC, which states that "an application for registration of a trademark shall not create any prejudice to the prior right of another person, nor unfair means be used to preemptively register the trademark of some reputation another person has used."
This was the same article relied upon by Chinese basketball stars Yao Ming and Yi Jianlian in successful claims against companies that used their names in trademarks without authorization. In those cases, the court found that an "individual's name right should be recognized as a prior right."
Even if Jordan could prove that his name is a "prior right," a further obstacle is that his right to challenge may be time-barred; Article 41 of China's trademark law document requires that any disputes of registered trademarks must be brought within the first five years of registration. Given that the "Qiaodan" mark was submitted for approval in 1997, the statute of limitations has already long passed.
Jordan, who claims he was unaware of the Qiaodan brand until recently, could seek to bypass the five-year limit by establishing that his name is a "well-known mark," which does not have to be registered to be enforceable. However, he still faces an uphill battle as this area of law is highly contentious, and especially as Qiaodan Sports has already managed to establish a sizable presence in China over the past decade. To complicate matters further, "Qiaodan" was itself declared a well-known trademark by China's trademark office in 2009.
A spokesman for Jordan's legal team told the Shanghai Daily on Wednesday that it had not yet received notice of the rejection. Sources say Jordan will refile the claim in Shanghai.

As many of you know, Farmers Guest House recently hosted an engaging leadership retreat for Project Linus. The leadership and management from Project Linus engaged in several team building exercises while meeting at Farmers Guest House. Their Galena executive retreat was recently reported on in their newsletter. Below is their recap of their time at Farmers Guest House. You can check out the Project Linus newsletter and learn more about this amazing organization at: http://bit.ly/QscoDR
I can't think of a better way to spend a few days than gathered together with 7 of my closest friends at a beautiful bed and breakfast. To make it even better, our stay was all about Project Linus, and making blankets. In mid September, just as the leaves were starting to turn warm colors of gold and red, we traveled to Galena, Illinois. There we stayed for 2 nights at The Farmers Guesthouse. Conveniently located on Route 20, in NW Illinois, it is about 18 miles from Dubuque, IA. It is close to shopping and restaurants and in such a glorious setting, we could have easily stayed much longer. Susan and Don, our innkeepers were there to take care of our every need, preparing lovely meals and making sure we had every comfort.
We took advantage of Susan's Quilt Retreat. As a quilter herself, Susan knows just what is needed to be able to create and stitch to your hearts content. She has a large workroom with ironing and cutting stations, and plenty of space for your sewing machine. We highly recommend this lovely destination for anyone interested in taking a few days of relaxing, fun creativity with your favorite Project Linus friends. Please check out their website atwww.GalenaBedandBreakfast.com for more details on pricing and availability, or call Susan at 815-777-3456.
Susan has set aside 2 dates for retreats, which include November 4-5, and January 14-15 both of which still have availability. Use the secret word "blanket" for $25.00 off the double occupancy rate.
Susan and Don are Project Linus supporters, and offer special pricing to anyone who brings in a blanket or buys a blanket kit that she can them make for the local chapter. We are happy to include them in our Project Linus family!

Living with criticism
As boy I had a sunny disposition. For the most part, people around me reflected back to me warm affirmation. Our home was largely free from conflict; I cannot remember a single instance when someone in my family raised a voice in anger. I always had a close circle of friends, and although we would often tease each other, we all knew that it was done with affection. I approached the world with an openness as wide and trusting as the outstretched arms of someone anticipating an embrace. In other words, I was completely unprepared to deal with the criticism that comes with being a pastor.
Two stories
Sitting on the four corners of an intersection in the town where I grew up are the public school, the library, the town hall and my home church. Every morning an American flag is raised in front of each of the four buildings. The church, however, sits on a hill above the other public buildings, as if presiding over all of them.

How to Score A Goal In Soccer
One Methods:Alternative methods to score
Scoring a goal in soccer can be simple if you know what steps to take. The main goal is to get open near the goal, on the goalie's weak side, shoot and put the ball in the net!
1Know where the ball is on the pitch. You should have a weak side (less defenders) position on the goal as the ball is brought down by the offense. Because the ball travels very quickly when kicked well, you have to keep a close eye on it.Ad
2Run up to the ball. If there are no defenders nearby, you may decide to "trap" it. This means stopping the ball with your body and keeping it in front of you, and it is an effective way to control the ball.
3Dribble (with your feet, since this is soccer) to a relatively open position near the goal. Try to get on the side opposite of the goalie. If he is directly in front of you, pass to someone open on the opposite side.
4Pull your leg back and aim for the goal, then shoot with all your might, but stay accurate. You should do this with the inside of your foot, because it creates a better shot/pass. When you are further from the goal, you should kick the ball with the laces of your cleat, which gives more power. Never kick with your toes. Although kicking with your toes gives you more power, it decreases your accuracy by a ton. It is usually essential to get a good, quick kick off, since the defensive players will be following you towards the goal, and the goalie will be headed towards you or getting ready for you.
5Kick the ball into the goal. If you can use a low, fast, kick to the side of the goal, the goalie will have a hard time blocking or catching the ball. High or slow kicks usually result in the goalie catching the ball and throwing it out to his team.
6Remember, the object of offensive soccer playing is for the team to score, not the individual. (there is no I in team!) If there is another player with a better shot opportunity, Pass a Soccer Ball!
7Be sure to practice goal shots against defenders during your team practice. Making a goal with defenders is completely different than shooting a shot with no one between you and the goal.
8Keep your wits about you. This means no choking, or hesitation. If you miss, you miss, but if the ball is still in play, don't drop back until the other team gets control of it.
9Take whatever chances you can, especially when a teammate crosses the ball to you.Ad
Alternative methods to score
1There are alternatives ways to score. One way would be by leaning to one side and shooting to the opposite side. For example, if you are clear on goal, try leaning to the left side of the body. This gives the keeper the impression that you are shooting or moving to the left. Then, in an instant, aim and shoot to the right side of the goal. Make sure that you are in the right angle which gives you a better view of the goal. Its harder to score from tight angles. Plus, If you try this method there is a better chance of you scoring a goal because you'll be right in front of it, just remember to boot the ball hard, make sure you're not kicking the ball up because it will give the goalkeeper time to react and the ball may go over the goal. Always remind yourself to not get too excited, if you do get so you may not play as well during the game because you'll be distracted.
2Another way is to chip the ball over the keeper. In order to do this, the keeper must be at least 2 meters (6.6 ft) off his goal line. Firstly, lean back your body. Then, shoot the ball in a jabbing motion. This creates backspin on the ball and allows the ball to land in the net.
3Next up would be to stomp your feet quickly in front of the keeper when you have possession of the ball. By doing so, you would sometimes trigger the keeper in making the first move and confusing him. After that, just aim for goal.Ad
Give us 3 minutes of knowledge!
- Make sure to aim at the goal, keeping the ball as far away from the goalie as possible. Often, this means going to a corner, not the middle try curling it into the corner.
- At soccer practices be sure to practice moves and tricks. You can fake defenders out with moves such as the "stepover" or "scissors." By making a move, you can fool a defender into thinking you are going one way, but really going the other. If you do enough moves on enough defenders in a game, soon it will be just you and the goalie so you will have a much better chance of getting the goal.
- Always place the ball a yard ahead from you before shooting as you get more power. Always aim for the corners of the net and do not lean back too much as it will go over the net.
- When beginning, it's okay to tap the ball into the goal with the side of your foot. As you get better, though, you want to try to use the laces of your shoe for more power and control.
- When you are close to the goalie (not too close) put eye contact on one side of the goal but shoot the other way This will trick the goalie and you have a better chance of scoring.
- There is a rule called the offsides rule. It states that your teammate may not pass to you unless there are at least two members of the opposing team (one is usually the goalie) between you and the goal.
- Be sure to have enough space and not to kick anybody if they're in the way.
- Try to score more goals than the opposition!

"But what if they (economics) were ignored?"
Economics can not be ignored. We live in a world with limits. To speculate on a world without economic constraints is on one where there is no shortage of anything. All people have anything they want any time.
This is fantasy. You may as well ask "what if dragons where real?" Who cares? I have too many real world things to consider to bother with fantasy.
Finance is simply micro economics. We are bound by limits. The Universe has limits on the speed we can travel. We have only so much energy per person on the earth. We have only so many materials. When we get into space and start mining Jupitor, this will increase, but supply and demand will bring costs back in line. Everything has a limit.
Time is also a limiting factor, we all have set limits to life. Mind you, the genetic possibilities may be larger, but this is sci-fi as yet. Time is money is stated for a reason.
A factor of finance is time. This is where the concept of the time value of money comes into play. When assessing risk and possible costs, at least an NPV and IRR calculation needs to be factored.
Pen testing is limited economically. Companies can either go for more low cost testing that rarely finds anything at one extreme to an infrequent test by highly skilled individuals at the other. This can range thus from $100 per hour people, to $370-600 for the top people. These find more, but less frequently and the number of people who can do this are limited.
Limits pose constraints.
Risk should be a quantitative function - in many organisations it is required to be (such as BASELII) quantitatively defined even for IT. This means calculus. Either risk is optimised at a inflection point that is a maxima/minima or the function is compounded by saddle points. Quantitative does not equal assigning numbers - this is a perception exercise. Risk needs to be scientifically calculated within defined confidence levels.
If we take a pen test team with 10 members all working on a large site with 500 hosts, we give them 5 days per host (large budget here). The test time is the entire working year. Either a sample is taken or the test takes a year.
This means systems are tested at best yearly.
A full test generally takes more than 5 days for a system so I am being conservative. I do not want to look at "but I broke x in 10 minutes" etc.
Security and risk like finance have a time factor. How long it takes for a consultant to come in and test and how frequently they do this is important.
Testing is a detective control and a validation. Validation is only effective in 2 ways:
if the control has a failure - to find and rectify
to ensure that a control is in place.
Testing is not generally done scientifically. We seek to prove a negative. In Pen testing this can be simple as the standards are frequently low enough already. Testing a broken model (a system with poor controls) will lead to discoveries. The problem is that it can not state that a system is secure.
A pen test can at best find and exploit a flaw. A worst it can make speculations. In any event, it does not test the full compliment of control failures.
The alternatives need to be in place. An infrequent detective control with no preventative controls is less than useless. A pen test is only effective in pointing out holes and control flaws. Even with zero days, there is defence in depth to be considered.
A good control framework will detect and stop even most zero days far more than it stops many other threats. Good logging and monitoring at the host and network level with competent people is a more effective control than pen testing.
I will discover a breach with a combination of integrity checks that run live and database triggers faster than I will using pen testing.
Monitoring and baselining network traffic is more cost effective if done correctly than testing.
Yes testing and audit have their place. Their place is to ensure that other controls exist.

Gwyneth Paltrow, Chris Martin Split: How She Hinted at Their Troubled Marriage
Gwyneth Paltrow has always been open about her marital challenges with Chris Martin. The actress -- who announced her "conscious uncoupling" from the Coldplay frontman Tuesday -- has been extremely vocal about their troubled relationship for years. Back in May 2013, the Goop lifestyle blogger, 41, revealed the pair of 10 years had experienced "terrible times" together.
PHOTOS: More shocking celebrity splits
"It's hard being married," she said in Glamour U.K.'s June issue. "You go through great times, you go through terrible times. We're the same as any couple." She continued: "I asked my dad once, 'How did you and Mom stay married for 33 years?' And he said, 'Well, we never wanted to get divorced at the same time.'"
"I think that's what happens," she added. "When two people throw in the towel at the same time, then you break up, but if one person's saying, 'Come on, we can do this,' you carry on."
PHOTOS: Gwyneth's most obnoxious quotes
Four years earlier, the Glee guest star, 41, dropped similar hints when she discussed how relationships doesn't always last. "A long-term relationship between two people is an ever-evolving organism," she wrote in her Goop.com newsletter in July 2009. "Some stay the course, some fall, all stumble."
Paltrow and Martin, 37, first met at a Coldplay concert in 2002 and married in a very private ceremony the following year in Southern California. Although the parents of daughter Apple, 9, and son Moses, 7, have decided to go their separate ways, they have spoken out about the better times as well.
PHOTOS: Gwyneth through the years
"We laugh, we're good friends, we like to do the same stuff," the Oscar winner said in the October 2013 issue of Marie Claire Australia. "I'm a very grounded, homey person, and Chris is a very mad scientist, genius songwriter," she added to Glamour U.K. in 2013. "So I never say, 'Where are you? You should be home by now.' I never place demands on him because I think he's a really talented man and he's putting something good into the world."
Martin told CBS Sunday Morning back in October 2011 that the actress was the most serious relationship he's ever been in. "It's a giant leap. Let's face it: it's like winning the lottery," he quipped. "It's made it more focused," he said of fatherhood. "And you have a purpose. I like what it does. Just the idea of having to work hard so your kids are okay."
PHOTOS: Gwyneth's surprise BFFs
As previously reported, Paltrow and Martin have since escaped to the Bahamas amid their separation news. "We are, however, and always will be a family, and in many ways we are closer than we have ever been," Paltrow said in the couple's official statement on March 26. "We are parents first and foremost, to two incredibly wonderful children and we ask for their and our space and privacy to be respected at this difficult time."

It's been five years since the second venture boom started in Korea, and now there are several startups that are big enough to compete with KOSDAQ-listed companies. These success stories create a positive trend as they draw more capital and talent to Korea's venture industry, away from traditional tech employers like Samsung, Hyundai, and SK Telecom.
Let's take a look at the top ten biggest tech startups in South Korea. This list is inspired by a Korean-language list on Under The Radar, a local startup-focused blog.
A similar list for the US would be full of social media startups, but there's only one on this Korean list – albeit in the top spot. The remainder of the list is dominated by ecommerce, gaming, and app development, showing that the competition is thriving in these three main areas.
As a disclaimer, it is debatable whether some of the companies listed can still truly be classified as startups. Also note that precise valuations are not available, so we have conducted extensive research to determine valuation estimates based on available figures. For this article, we specifically set our startup universe from the beginning of the mobile and social tech boom, with a focus on companies that are highly likely to go public soon.

Kakao – maker of the popular KakaoTalk messaging app – is one of the most successful startup companies the country has ever produced. KakaoTalk is more than just a messaging app, and it now serves as a mobile-only platform and portal for things like social gaming, ebooks, and music streaming.
Equity in Kakao was recently traded in the OTC market at $70 to $80 per share, which roughly adds up to $2 billion in total value. From a growth perspective, we estimate a total valuation of $5 billion, after applying the industry average sales-to-price ratio of 0.1 to Kakao's estimated revenue of $500 million in 2015. However, with their business slightly stalling at the moment, experts believe that Kakao's value will be in the lower range.
Kakao is looking to IPO, probably next year.
Up against rapid growth from larger messaging apps like WeChat, WhatsApp, Line, and Viber, the Korean startup has been very quiet – worryingly quiet? – about its numbers since last July when it reached 100 million registered users.
2. Coupang ($350 million)
Coupang is a daily deals, flash sales, and social ecommerce site operated by Forward Ventures, a US-based company.
In 2012, Business Insider placed Coupang 37th in its top 100 of the world's most valuable privately-held tech companies. Coupang supposedly commanded $550 million in value at that time, but the data in the article was not validated in the right way. Considering a slight downward turn in the online deals industry in Korea, Coupang's value may need to be heavily discounted from earlier estimates.
3. Ticket Monster ($300 million)
Ticket Monster's value can be more precisely measured as it has been involved in some major transactions. In 2011, the company was acquired by LivingSocial in 2011 for $300 million, and later by Groupon for $260 million. The daily deals site is sometimes referred to as Tmon.
Right now, the company should be valued roughly around the same amount. At the time Ticket Monster was acquired, the valuation seemed somewhat underpriced. That was mainly because Ticket Monster had some financial issues at that time, and the overall industry trend for ecommerce was downwards. Currently, Ticket Monster seems to be stable and has succeeded in trimming some of its previous losses.
4. WeMakePrice ($200 million)
According to public filings in 2012, Min Huh, the former CEO of WeMakePrice, owns 100 percent of the company. Due to a lack of external investments, it's a bit difficult to measure the value of this daily deals site. Recently, WeMakePrice's operational activities have been growing thanks to its aggressive marketing strategy. However, we assume that this created some pressure on its financials.
Based on peer group analysis, the company's fair value should be around $200 million, slightly below arch-rival Ticket Monster.
5. SundayToz ($160 million)
SundayToz (123420:KOSDAQ), the game developer behind casual gaming smash-hits like Anipang, filed for its IPO last November. It currently has a market value of around $160 million. Its share price has been skyrocketing in the past few months, despite a recent copyright scandal.
Although some mobile gaming companies have been suffering lately, SundayToz is still standing strong, in part thanks to the successful sequel, Anipang 2. Many SundayToz games are boosted by their integration with KakaoTalk's social gaming platform – something that helped make Anipang a hit when KakaoTalk first ventured into social gaming in July 2012.
Last month another gaming giant in Korea, Smilegate, acquired a 20 percent stake in SundayToz for $112 million.
6. PATI Games ($100 million)
After a successful public listing for SundayToz, PATI Games is also likely to file for an IPO. In 2012, the company's revenue and net income were around $25 million and $10 million respectively, figures much more impressive than SundayToz's.
The market is expecting the company's value to be at least on par with SundayToz's initial IPO valuation, though it's concerning that the revenue from PATI's flagship title, I Love Coffee, is rapidly decreasing.
I Love Coffee integrates with the messaging app Line for social gaming features.
7. DevSisters ($75 million)
DevSisters is the game developer behind the hit title Cookie Run. That game's still performing strongly, and remains in the top two or three spots in both the iOS App Store and Google Play store in terms of revenue.
Recently, NHN Entertainment – a division of the Korean web giant that makes Line – acquired a 22 percent stake in DevSisters. At that time, one of the shareholders, Com2us, sold a 7.4 percent stake for $5.6 million. Based on this data, we can infer the total value to be around $75 million.
DevSisters has a bright future as it's consistently generating cash. Cookie Run recently came out for Line, and saw 20 million downloads in the past two months.
8. Yellow Mobile ($60 million to $70 million)
Yellow Mobile is a rising star in the Korean mobile app industry. The company was founded by Sang-hyuk Lee, an ex-Daum employee, in 2012. Now Yellow Mobile is growing exponentially, having acquired more than 17 local startups.
Earlier this month, Yellow Mobile ploughed $1.9 million into the makers of the AlarmMon app.
Yellow Mobile has raised $11 million in capital from VCs like DSC Investments. Currently, the market is divided as to whether the firm's rapid acquisitions and execution are good form, or whether it's moving too fast.
9. 4:33 Creative Lab ($40 million to $50 million)
Here's another up-and-coming gaming company. 4:33 was founded by ex-Nexon Mobile team members. Last May, the company received $9 million from LB Investments and Korea Investment Partners. If we assume that the company sold a 10 to 30 percent stake in the company for that funding, we get a valuation range between $40 and $50 million.
4:33 is growing fast with a number of hit titles such as Blade and Watermargin.
10. Woowa Brothers ($40 million to $50 million)
Woowa Brothers became successful with the food delivery app Nation of Delivery. It allows people to connect with local restaurants that offer home delivery. The company takes a fee from each purchase. This seemingly simple idea is expected to bring around $10 million in revenue for the company this year.
Recently, Woowa Brothers got series B funding that totaled $10 million, which will be used for marketing in Korea, as well as building out a more comprehensive mobile service and overseas expansion into Southeast Asia. However, the company is under pressure to find new revenue sources, and its powers of profitability are by no means as strong as the mobile gaming companies on this list. Its delivery app is up against major rivals in Asia like Foodpanda.
There are many more rapidly growing ventures in Korea that didn't get into the top 10 list. IUM, NBT Partners, ID INCU, Frograms, KnowRe, Studymax, SE Works, and 5Rocks command valuations of around $10 million to $30 million right now – and are showing good signs of sustained growth.
Sirgoo Lee, the CEO of Kakao, said recently that with the mobile technology ecosystem having existed for only three years, the startup scene is now on the cusp of truly taking hold and making an impact on the economy. "In 2014, we hope to see more successful startups emerging in the scene," he stated.

The M50s don't really cut it for me. Thin mids, piercing treble, lack of soundstage, creaky build, I could go on and on. They're not bad, but they're definitely not all that great to me.
JVC HA-S500s vs. Brainwavs HM5? Fair fight. I give the JVC's the advantage.
JVC HA-S500s vs AKG K240M? OK, that's closer. Still give the lead to the JVCs.

One Spice Fits all Imbalances.
India has among the lowest rates of prostate, breast, colon and lung cancer in the world.
Some researchers attribute these numbers to the regular consumption of a common household spice, which has also been shown to offer support for cognitive function and inflammation. The best part? Chances are, this spice may already be in your cabinet.
A cancer diagnosis can feel like a death sentence, with 1.4 million new cases of cancer per year resulting in more than 500,000 deaths per year in the U.S. While this is still a life-threatening diagnosis, new research may give hope.*
This research has scientists amazed at how a simple spice can promote healthy cell replication, and even support the health of patients undergoing chemotherapy.
This is only one small role this spice plays in promoting optimal health.* For thousands of years in Ayurveda, this common spice was used for physical pain, liver ailments, healthy skin, mental clarity, intestinal health, bile flow and fat metabolism.
Keep reading for a taste of other incredible benefits offered by turmeric, plus one super-simple tip for boosting its absorption.
Turmeric Supports Healthy Cell Replication
Recently, in the Annals of Internal Medicine, a very large study revealed that many cancers are not detected during a routine colonoscopy. What was once an insurance plan to screen for colon cancer, offering a 90 percent reduction in the risk of death, now can only afford a 60-70 percent mortality risk reduction (1). This means that, while we should still use colonoscopies as a screening tool, we have to take action to offset the risk of colon cancer in other ways as well.
In one study, curcumin, the extract of turmeric, out-performed Western drugs in supporting healthy cellular replication and repair, along with supporting natural and timely cell death, called apoptosis (2,3).
One research team wrote, "Curcumin appears to possess all of the desirable features of a desk-designed, multi-purpose drug."
Cognitive Support
Perhaps one of our biggest concerns as we age is to somehow protect ourselves from the ravages of Alzheimer's disease. Turmeric has at least 10 neuro-protective actions that support healthy cognitive function (5).
Because the brain is predominately fatty tissue, fat-soluble toxins may accumulate in the brain and cause damage. As a fat-soluble substance, turmeric may have an affinity for chelating (removing) fat-soluble toxins out of the deep tissues.
Turmeric crosses the blood-brain barrier, where it may attach to neurotoxins, such as beta amyloid plaque, and support healthy antioxidant activity (6).
A Healthy Inflammatory Response
Inflammation may start in the gut because of an irritated and compromised intestinal wall. The most common cause of this is most likely stress. Stress receptors line the gut and, when we are under a lot of stress, the intestinal mucous membranes produce excessive reactive mucus. This reactive mucus may compromise absorption and detoxification pathways in the gut, leading to congestion in the body's lymphatic system, which also lines the gut.
Turmeric supports the mucosa of the gut, thins the mucus, and supports the flow of bile. In addition to breaking down nutritional fats that we need, bile is also our body's primary immune response in the gut to emulsify toxic chemicals and other fat-soluble toxins that you may have ingested. These include heavy metals, parasites, pesticides, candida, fungi and more.
Increase Absorption of Turmeric by 2000 Percent
One of the problems with turmeric is that it is fat soluble, which makes it more difficult to absorb. That is why many of the studies have been done on curcumin, which is the extract of turmeric, and easier to absorb. So for the past ten years, much research has gone into finding ways to boost the absorption of turmeric, with some good success.
While modern herbal extracts have potent therapeutic value, it is difficult to match the blueprint of the original plant. In addition, the body may build a tolerance to an extract. Whole herbs, while not as potent as extracts, have a sustainable effect. In Ayurveda, whole herbs are combined with other whole herbs and spices to boost function, which can be as potent as today's modern extracts.
For example, in 1998, researchers at St. John's Medical College in Bangalore, India found that turmeric taken with black pepper—both common ingredients in curry—increased the absorption of turmeric by an astonishing 2000 percent, with no adverse effects!
What is interesting is that in India, curry powder is loaded with turmeric, peppers and other spices. Turmeric is added to many dishes in India, and during the cooking process, the turmeric is naturally extracted and concentrated. Boiling and cooking helps naturally break down the turmeric in such a way that the absorption of medicinal grade constituents, like curcumin, are greatly enhanced.
The average person in India eats about 2 to 2.5 grams of turmeric a day—that's about four to six capsules of turmeric a day—almost every day of their lives. Interestingly, India has among the lowest rates in the world of prostate, breast, colon and lung cancer. Some researchers believe this may be due to the quantity of turmeric consumed on a regular basis.

dont eat rice with that curry.India has a very high rate of diabetes type 2 .
Hi Helen,
A lot of the diabetes cases are a result of adopting a Western diet. The consumption of rice does not cause diabetes.
I LOVE turmeric! Thanks for the many reminders of why I should remember to cook with it!
This is great! Isn't Dandelion used in every almost culture as an herb and as a base for a lot of herbal remedies too?
All well and good, but what are recommendations exactly? I've been adding 1/2 teas turmeric (+ginger + cayenne) to my Perfect food green juice and ground flax for quite some time. I have NO idea if it's benefiting me in any way. I can only hope. Should I be boiling the herbs first?
[…] circulation, prevents nausea, lower cholesterol, relieves pain). My other favorites are cinnamon, turmeric and cayenne […]
[…] just to make the whole house smell cinnamony. Besides being delicious, the addition of cinnamon (as well as other spices) to your diet can be a huge health boost as […]
Well great but where are even a few tips on how to get tumeric into your diet? Or was that not the point of the article? Is tumberic available in capsule form? I think the only way to get the benefit of the article is to buy the books.
The most delicious way to get organic, cold-pressed Hawaiian turmeric into your diet is (( http://tumericalive.com/ ))
Every bottle has 15 grams of turmeric and ginger, plus the peppers/fats to increase bio-availability.
I think it's always important to mention contraindication. Turmeric, while natural,when used medicinally can be harmful especially when other medications are being used- such as blood thinners. I'm not a doctor, but I'm a personal chef and I was recommending (and using) turmeric for clients who suffer inflammation. I accidentally ran into info about blood thinners and had to immediately inform a client who I knew was on thinners for her COPD. So many sites tout the value, but not the risks-it's important to have all the information, right?. Here's some info I just now quickly Googled. http://www.livestrong.com/article/112941-side-eff…
True, this is a contraindication because turmeric itself is a mild blood thinner. It has a similar effect in the body as ibuprofen, except instead of breaking down the liver, it cleanses and rejuvenates your liver and kidneys. I am also not a doctor, but think the best bet would be to double the dose of turmeric and drop the pharmaceuticals altogether.
The only other contraindication is for pregnant women, as turmeric is known to induce labor and accelerate the birthing process. So if you're not ready to have your baby, go easy on the turmeric. At the same time, you might just want to try taking a huge dose before you resort to C-section.
It is totally available in capsule form – try where you buy vitamins or supplements. I do. The science appears to be there.
I have a condition in which I build up a great deal of mucus on my colon wall. I just had to get three colonics in the span of one week to remove it all as it seemed to be paralyzing my large intestine. I was very sick with a constant headache from the toxins. I'll now incorporate turmeric daily so that the build up does not happen again.
I sprinkle it on eggs, tuna, fish, oatmeal, rice, potato salad, grilled chicken breast, fruit, adds a lovely color.
Wow! This blog looks exactly like my old one! It's on a completely different topic but it has pretty much the same page layout and design. Excellent choice of colors! deddgbgckabb

about purple stitch project
Purple Stitch Project (PSP) was founded by designer, author, and on-air personality, Vickie Howell, who is best known as the host of DIY Network's Knitty Gritty and the spokesperson for the yarn company, Caron International.
In 2011, Vickie's youngest son, Tristan was diagnosed with epilepsy after an EEG test proved that the tonic clonic ("grand mal") seizure he'd had in front of his big brother had not in fact, been a fluke. Since then it's been an emotional roller-coaster of anti-seizure drug side-effects, alternative treatment options, academic challenges, and dealing with the emotional strife a child feels when he's not in control of his own body. Tristan is a brave kid, though and is getting better every day.
According to the Epilepsy Foundation, epilepsy affects more than 300,000 children in the U.S., but for any one kid who has the disorder it can feel pretty isolating. Vickie noticed this feeling in her own son, and began work to help him feel less different and alone. While reaching out to form a community for Tristan, she met other children with varying degrees of seizure disorders. She decided that she wanted to do something that would help raise their spirits, so she drew from what she's knows best: the handmade world. Thus, the idea for Purple Stitch Project was born.

I can see how the side-by-side view of the maps could be misleading, but Verizon isn't fudging any numbers. The maps in the commercial show 3G network coverage for both providers. The difference is, where there are holes in Verizon's maps there isn't coverage. On the AT&T map, much of the white areas not covered by 3G, AT&T's 2G network is offered. Apparently Verizon did add a disclaimer to the ad, but AT&T is still dissatisfied.
AT&T's main goal seems to be to get these commercials off the air. . . Do you think they have a case?

Traveling By "Corporate" Airplane
A local breakfast flight emphasizes the value of corporate aviation
Unfortunately, comments about corporate aviation have had the desired effect. Both Ford and General Motors have scaled back or sold off their flight departments, and Chrysler has vowed to reduce operations. It's almost as if the economic laws that dictated the wisdom of those purchases in the first place have been repealed.
The simple fact is that corporate and business airplanes make sense for a variety of applications. Okay, we've probably all seen the proliferation of business jets and turboprops at places such as Aspen or the venue for the Super Bowl, but is that any more immoral than driving your Toyota to the country club or your Audi to the marina for a day of sailing?
In many instances, a business plane is the only viable method of reaching a destination. It also can be the most efficient. Obviously, corporate aircraft of most varieties expand the places you can fly and improve the schedule to get there.
You're no longer limited to the roughly 300 airports served by the airlines; your horizons expand to some 4,000 paved strips and, perhaps, even some unpaved, boondock runways.
We've all seen examples of salary and bonus abuse in the corporate world, but I for one accept the fact that the majority of executives are worth what they're paid. A little simple math is revealing. High-level corporate execs rarely work as little as a standard 40-hour week, but if you grant that assumption, a $5-million-per-year exec is paid about $2,500 per hour. Coincidentally, that's roughly the hourly tab of a typical light to medium jet, such as a Citation Excel. Of course, bizjets rarely fly with only one passenger. According to the NBAA, it's usually more like two or three. I've been fortunate to pilot, copilot or ride in back of corporate jets a few dozen times, and I've never been in one with less than four people aboard (except for ferry flights).
This means it can make economic sense to transport a pair of executives on a jet rather than the airlines. Does it really make sense to pay someone $2,500 per hour, then have the person commute to an airline airport, wait for baggage check-in, security and boarding, wait a half hour or more for baggage claim at the destination and then commute an indeterminate distance to the job or meeting site only to repeat the whole process for the return?

People spend a considerable part of their lives in their workplaces. Therefore, employers have a responsibility to ensure that their employees have a safe and healthy environment where they can work. They are also responsible for ensuring that preventative measures are put in place to reduce the risk of accidents in the workplace, including back injuries.
Neglecting any of these duties leaves room for workplace accidents. If you have been in a workplace accident where you sustained back injuries because your employer failed to carry out their duty, then you can claim compensation from them here at Accident Advice Helpline.
Understanding back injuries
The back is divided into three main parts, namely the upper (cervical) spine, middle (thoracic) spine and the lower (lumbar) spine. The cervical or upper spine is typically referred to as the neck. Back injury compensation claims often deal with injuries sustained on the lower and middle spine together with the surrounding tissues and muscles.
The common causes of back injuries at work include lifting heavy objects and slips, trips or falls. If you have been a victim of any of these through no fault of your own, you can claim compensation for financial losses as well as for the pain and suffering you incurred.
Compensation for back injuries
Since injury compensation claims differ from individual to individual, it is difficult to give an exact figure for the payout you can receive without reviewing the particulars of your case. Generally, back injury payouts range from £1,000 to £200,000 although this figure only provides a rough estimate.
The final settlement you receive is dependent on factors such as the details and extent of your injuries and the consequences they have had on your life. While some compensation claim cases are simple, resulting in quick settlements, others remain stalled in the negotiation stage for years on end.
If you want to find out the approximate payout you could receive from your back injury claim, you can use the Accident Advice Helpline's 30-second calculator. This innovative tool, found on our website, is also designed to help you determine if you are eligible to claim compensation for your back injury.
Different types of back injuries you can claim compensation for
Different back injuries attract different compensation payouts. Back injuries are grouped as follows:
- Least severe back injuries. These include strains and muscle injuries that last for a few weeks with no further symptoms of pain two years after the accident.
- Minor back injuries. These include muscle injuries, strains or cases of prolapsed discs. These injuries do not require surgery and the pain symptoms last for two to five years.
- Moderate back injuries that include crushed fractures of the spine, spinal fusion and prolapsed discs. These often require surgery.
- Very severe back injuries. These are the most serious back injuries. They can result in impairment of lower body functions and paralysis.
Give us a call today on 0800 180 4123 and let us help you get started on your back injury compensation claim.

Lukewarm Christianity leads teens to embrace atheism, foundation finds
Catholic World News - July 03, 2013
Active members of college atheist organizations tend to be students who rejected lukewarm Christianity in their high school years, according to research conducted by the Fixed Point Foundation.
"These students heard plenty of messages encouraging 'social justice,' community involvement, and 'being good,' but they seldom saw the relationship between that message, Jesus Christ, and the Bible," Larry Alex Taunton, the foundation's executive director, wrote in The Atlantic.
"They felt their churches offered superficial answers to life's difficult questions," he added. "They expressed their respect for those ministers who took the Bible seriously."
The Fixed Point Foundation, according to its website, seeks "innovative ways to defend and proclaim the Gospel and to prepare Christians to do the same."

One of the things that made Josh Hamilton a difficult signing beyond the $25 million per season was the fact no one outside of the Texas Rangers really knew what it required to attempt to keep the slugging outfielder clean and sober.
The Los Angeles Angels are now on the hook for making sure Hamilton remains that way, but they have no protection in case Hamilton relapses. His contract doesn't contain any extra language to shield the Angels from anything of the sort beyond normal Major League Baseball drug policy restrictions.
However, the team is taking precautions. The Angels have hired Hamilton's accountability partner, Shayne Kelley, from the Rangers and given him the position of staff assistant. His main job will be to keep Hamilton clean. Hamilton has a long history of drug and alcohol abuse that got him suspended from baseball for from 2003 to 2005.
The Rangers hired Kelley in February after it was revealed Hamilton had relapsed for a second time. He replaced Johnny Narron in that position after Narron left to be the hitting coach for the Milwaukee Brewers.
This is a smart play by the Angels. They just made a monster investment in a player they are counting on to be the missing piece they needed to win a World Series. That means they can't afford to have the player having missteps by falling back into drug and alcohol addiction.
Part of trying to make sure that doesn't happen is keeping familiarity in Hamilton's life. He knows and presumably trusts Kelley, so hiring him to be part of the Angels' staff gives Hamilton a familiar face in the organization.
No one knows what might trigger another relapse like the one Hamilton had last winter, but by bringing on Kelley the Angels are at least attempting to take steps to makes sure that won't happen.

Welcome to my photo archive! This was originally a feature of the moribund www.twincitiespage.com, and although that site has slid into ignominious desuetude, the photo collection has discovered a life of its own. You'll find thousands of photos of the Twin Cities (some better than others) and some other assorted Midwestern cities that I've visited. This is a free and personal collection; I pay a trite annual premium to ensure these photos remain on-line and available to the public.
Since this is a personal collection, I do use this site for academic uses, which includes the extemporaneous opening of new albums. All pictures in this collection, unless specifially noted, where taken by me and that includes scans. With exception to the Image Bank at the University of Minnesota (http://www.designcenter.umn.edu/imagebank/), I have NOT taken media from any internet sites.
I occasionally get inquiries about use of my photos. Here is the bottom line about photo use:
Thanks for coming!

Banana Cinnamon Waffles
Banana Cinnamon Waffles are slighty sweet, warm, nutty, and super simple to make! Everything you could want in a breakfast item.
Are you the type of person to peek into someone's medicine cabinet? I totally am. In fact, I will slow to a near stop if I happen to drive past a family's house at night who has all their blinds/curtains open and all their lights on. I just like to see how other people live, what they eat/drink/watch/do. It's fascinating to me.
A peek inside someone's closet, car, fridge, pantry, purse, iTunes, bookshelf can give away a lot about a personality. If someone were to check out your pantry, what would they surmise?
If someone were to look inside my freezer they would find a batch of these waffles, frozen and ready to be popped into the toaster for breakfast. Quick breakfasts don't get much better than that. Freezing these waffles is super easy. Once you've finished cooking all the batter in the waffle iron, lay the waffles in an even layer on a baking sheet, making sure they aren't touching each other. Freeze until solid and frozen, about 30 minutes. Remove to a resealable zip-top bag. Reheat in microwave, toaster, or toaster oven.
Recipe Rundown
Taste: Slightly sweet, warm, nutty. Everything you'd want in a breakfast item.
Texture: When first out of the waffle maker they're light and fluffy. If you freeze them and reheat in the toaster they become more crisp at the edges.
Ease: Really easy. Making the waffles is somewhat time-consuming because each set of 2 takes up to 4 minutes.
Appearance: Definitely not the worst thing to see when you first wake up!
Pros: Relatively guilt-free, can be frozen and reheat in toasted, tastes extra delicious with peanut butter slathered on top and dotted with fresh fruit.
Cons: None, really.
Would I make this again? I've got some in the freezer.
Banana Cinnamon Waffles
Yield: About 1 dozen
Total Time: 15 minutes
1 cup all-purpose flour
3/4 cup whole wheat flour
1/4 cup ground flaxseed
2 tablespoons sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 cups low-fat milk
3 tablespoons butter, melted
2 large eggs, lightly beaten
2 large ripe bananas, mashed
Combine flours, flaxseed, sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt in a bowl.
Whisk together milk, butter, and eggs in a large liquid measuring cup or small bowl. Add milk mixture to flour mixture, stirring until blended. Fold in mashed bananas.
Preheat a waffle iron. Coat iron with cooking spray. Spoon about 1/4 cup batter onto hot waffle iron, spreading batter to edges. Cook 3-4 minutes or until steaming stops; repeat with remaining batter.

Megan Frye leads NKU with 10 points, with four goals and two assists while Martha Staab has eight points off three goals and two assists.

Daemen College : Admissions : International Students : International First Year Experience
Adjusting to life as a college student can be an exciting, but sometimes overwhelming task. At Daemen we care deeply about the experiences our first year students have and we work hard to foster positive learning and living situations and to provide critical support for our new students.
Like many colleges we offer a wide range of services and opportunities for our first year students through Residence and Student Life. Becoming involved in positive activities on campus is crucial for personal wellness and growth. But, at Daemen we also take special care to address the transitions that take place for first year students in the classroom. That's why all first-year students take an Interdisciplinary Studies class – a theme-based multidisciplinary course generally taken during the first semester of the freshman year. It is designed to challenge students intellectually, build an appreciation for the core curriculum, initiate acquisition of essential competencies, introduce institutional and academic support services, and foster a sense of community throughout the campus. The course alternates between lecture and small-group discussion sections. A different theme, used to organize the content, is selected each year.
First-year students are also encouraged to participate in programs and events designed to aid them in their transition from high school to college, including the Peer Mentor Program, in which first-year students are paired with upper-level students who are available to provide advice on both academic and extracurricular concerns. A variety of workshops are also available throughout the year to assist students in such areas as study skills, time management, test-taking strategies, and clarifying academic and career goals.
