Medican Discovery News: A Party to Avoid
While many parents are taking their children to birthday parties on the weekends, some will be hauling their children to "pox parties." Believe it or not, that's short for chickenpox. Anyone can find these parties on Facebook, sponsored by groups like "Chickenpox party line" or "Find a pox party." Their goal is to bring together parents interested in exposing their children to the wild virus, Varicella zoster, rather than inoculate them with the chickenpox vaccine.
While the vast majority of parents may find this outrageous, a subset of parents believe natural infection with the virus leads to more vigorous immunity than the protection their children would get from the vaccine. But underlying this is a continued distrust of vaccines among some parents in America.
Public health experts say these parents are not only misguided, they're downplaying serious risks that come with a full-blown infection. Chickenpox causes hundreds of blisters that, when scratched, can lead to life-threatening bacterial infections. Additionally, the virus can cause encephalitis, an infection of the lining of the brain. Children who get chickenpox also face the risk of developing shingles as adults, when the dormant virus comes back as a highly painful nerve disorder.
Incredibly, the interest for natural infection has spurred postings on Facebook from people selling $50 lollipops that have been licked by children with chickenpox. Some offer infected clothing, toys or towels by overnight delivery, with no shortage of interest from responding parents.
Law enforcement has cracked down on the offers, since shipment of infectious substances across state lines is a federal offense. Public health experts question whether the chickenpox virus can survive shipment, but warn that other serious bacterial diseases might prevail, such as the bacteria that cause staph or strep throat.
Parents skeptical of vaccines need to weigh the risks of infection, which are far more serious against the few, mild side effects of a vaccine. The chickenpox vaccine, introduced in 1995, significantly lowers the risk of infection. Those who are vaccinated and do become infected have a much milder form of the illness and are less contagious. These children also face a lower risk of developing shingles later in life.
The Centers for Disease Control indicates severe reactions to the vaccine are extremely rare and only those with certain health risks are advised not to get the vaccine. It's still always a good idea to consult a pediatrician first.
Before the chickenpox vaccine was introduced, four million people were infected every year, including over 10,000 who were hospitalized. Of those, 150 died. However, the vaccine has cut the chickenpox death rate by 97 percent.
Scientists are monitoring whether wiping out chickenpox will increase the risk of shingles in adults who had the virus when they were younger. Evidence suggests periodic exposure to the virus from sick children acts as a natural immunity booster for adults who had the illness. But health experts point out that a shingles vaccine can head off that risk.

Terrorist group says if Syria is attacked by American forces, it will launch surface-to-surface rockets at Israel from Homs, in Syrian territory, to "keep Lebanon out of the war" • Homs sits some 322 kilometers (200 miles) from Haifa in northern Israel.
The Lebanon-based terrorist organization Hezbollah has vowed to retaliate against Israel from Syrian territory should the United States attack Syria over the latter country's use of chemical weapons, a Hezbollah source told Kuwaiti newspaper Al Rai on Monday.
Following a U.S. attack on Syria, Hezbollah would launch rockets at Israel from the Syrian city of Homs to "keep Lebanon out of the war," according to one source who coordinates activities between the Syrian army and the Shiite terrorist group.
"Hezbollah controls 8,000 square kilometers [about 3,100 square miles] near Homs and won't hesitate to engage in a response by launching surface-to-surface missiles from within Syria," the source told Al Rai.
Homs is located some 322 kilometers (200 miles) from Haifa in northern Israel.
Hezbollah openly entered the Syrian civil war over the summer on Syrian President Bashar Assad's side, fighting in key positions and tipping the balance in Assad's favor along the Lebanese border and in the Golan region.

Rating: NR
Duration: 1hr 31min
When Jean, a deserter from the Colonial Army, hitchhikes his way into Le Havre, he's only looking for a place to hide until he book ship's passage. He never expects to become embroiled in a dispute between local "tough" guy Lucien and wealthy but shady shopkeeper Zabel. Nor does he expect to fall in love with the beautiful Nelly, who Zabel also "keeps" What was supposed to be a stopover on his way to a better life turns into a fight against petty jealousies, buried obsessions, and unpleasant pasts.

But anyways, we did it in my garage one Saturday afternoon right beside my M3...I'm in my early 40's and she is 28 with a nice tight ass. She will sense that I am ready to cum in her mouth and then start pissing and then I'll fill her mouth up with my cum...I can feel her piss splashing on my feet (we lay down plastic)...it is hot...I can tell she is getting more and more adventurous...she asked me if I wanted her to take a dump too while I cum...we haven't done this yet but we'll see where this goes...

Ja genau...
Love sex up in the air, member of the mile high club too. Prefer pussy to anal, sorry not really my thing. Love fucking guy's as we fly up, up and away.
Loved that hood ornament Noticed that the chick had french nails in some scenes and no long nails in others. How many days did it take to shoot this.
@ Amber, WellI'd still love to have sex with you while in the air. I look forward to making you cum way up in the air. I am sure we will fit nicely together. My first time was on a passanger plane, actually got to do anal on one of the female flight attendants. Late at night, most everyone was asleep. She took it like a champ. Hooked up with a couple of her friends when we hit the ground. She set me up for that lovefest. I will remember it til I die. So let's connect and see how much manmeat you can handle. Reply back to this and I will leave my e-mail address....
Marine-One take a look at other ''plane'' video's I can handle as much manmeat as you've got and more besides. One far east trip with a couple of girl friends we sat with a guy on a business trip who was terrified of flying, We kept him occupied by accidently on purpose flashing our boobs or panties, when we landed he asked me out to dinner as a thank you and as he was rather gorgeous I accepted and afterwards went back to his hotel room. What a shock when I saw his hugh hard cock as I never thought it would fit in my pussy but it did and so I know I can take anything you have to offer Not really into anal but love oral and small orgies. XX
Hey Amber.... I got a plane. Have you ever done anal in a small plane while the pilot is fucking you? First time for everything. If you can handle it..
I want a guy with a private plane.
Girl very fantastic beautiful Ass. And woman wwwaaawsss
thats my women
This gal is just plain hot. I have never seen one like her. Where does she live? Hey, petite*latina, I got a plane. Can I fly over and see you. Then I will get behind you and pilot you as hard as I can. I am gonna make you soar into the clouds.
Tolles Flugzeug. Leonie, so geil wie immer. Kann mich an ihr nicht satt sehen. An die Frauen die auch so rangenommen werden wollen: Meldet euch!
holy fuck that cock is thick wish it was going is my ass
Wish he was guiding that weapon into my mouth and unloading his sperm
porn needs to be added to airshows I would love to see wing fucking airobatics instead of wing walkers.
Are U the Man? to take me to cloud 9. I hope so as im not waiting any longer for Marine-One. I love high flyers

It's a bus ride that will never get old for Cumberland American Little League.
The newly crowned New England Regional champions left Bristol, Conn., Sunday morning for Williamsport, Pa., and the Little League World Series.
"They left via coach bus at nine in the morning," Eastern Region assistant director Patrick Holden said.
Cumberland American is making the trip to Williamsport for the second time in four years. Cumberland American also won the New England title in 2011, then went 1-2 in pool play in the World Series.
In both 2011 and 2014, David Belisle was the manager. Belisle deflected credit away from him and onto his assistant coaches Matt Wright and Bill Davock.

Telling Mormons about Mormonism
It was O-Day at UWA, and I like to help out with the UWA Atheist and Skeptic Society. Would you believe: our booth was right next to the Mormons.
I learned something rather surprising: faithful active Mormons seem to be completely unaware of the new essays on church topics. Could it be that there was a purpose in releasing them in the dead of night with zero fanfare?
So I took it upon myself to tell them about these wonderful resources put out by the church.

Perhaps you've heard of Peter Boghossian, author of a Manual for Creating Atheists?
He's a "street epistemologist" and advocate of "interventions" intended to separate people from faith.

Games for the Joystick Impaired
My biggest problem playing video games nowadays is that look you get when you tell someone you love video games.
Anyone who doesn't play them still has this notion that it's all shooting bad guys, no plots, blood and gore all over the place…
Exactly what television news channels adore referencing whenever some kid goes crazy and shoots/stabs a bunch of other kids at school. Even our most treasured games like Bioshock, regarded as pretty much the Godfather of artful gaming, still has plenty of blood, guns and explosions. However, the truth is that there is a whole world of games out there with none of the above but no ever mentions them and that is partially the fault of us gamers.
If we want to legitimise the gaming industry we have to start pushing inventive and unusual games to the top of the charts and the forefront of the publics knowledge of games. So, here are a few titles that you can tell your mother about without confirming exactly what she already though when you have to mention zombies or spaceships.
Flower – by thatgamecompany, available on the PSN.
This game is beautiful. Play it. If you need more convincing than that, then consider this: this game does not use language, characters or enemies. It's a stunning piece of art that deals with urban sprawl and what industrialisation is doing to nature without at any point saying it directly or detracting from just how satisfying the game is. When you first start playing you will be absolutely transfixed by the visual side of the game, complimented by a magnificent and interactive soundtrack. The more you play it, the more intense and jarring the game becomes until it reaches a climax that will blow you away.
Journey – by thatgamecompany, available on the PSN.
The most recent game from the company that gave us flower, Journey is the next evolution of their unique way of creating games. This is more of a narrative based game than Flower and despite the fact that they at no point use any decipherable language, the story is engaging and satisfying. Thatgamecompany seem to be intent on creating games that literally anyone can play but everyone will love. It's atmospheric, impossible to properly describe and features the strangest online multiplayer mechanic I've ever seen.
LittleBigPlanet – by Media Molecule, available for PS3 and PS Vita.
It's narrated by Stephen Fry, it's so adorable that you could let a five year old play without worry, yet so enjoyable that you could suggest playing with all your grown up friends at a party, without feeling embarrassed. If you need any more info then you're crazy but just to humour you; it's predominantly a platformer, a la Mario but with the added feature of being able to create levels yourself and put them online for others around the world to play. It was so successful that there is now a second game and even a racing game on its way.
Braid – by Jonathan Blow, available on XBLA, PSN, PC and Mac.
Another platformer but considerably more story-centric than LBP, this is another very hard game to describe. The story is told in an intentionally vague way that leaves it open for al kinds of crazy interpretations but at its core it is sort of a 'what if Mario was actually a crazy stalker and Peach was really running away', though that is horribly simplifying it. The gameplay is inventive and involves many different kinds of time manipulation, making you really stretch you brain to try and complete it.
Limbo – by Playdead, available on XBLA, PSN, PC and Mac.
God damn this game is creepy. It's beloved for its amazing art style and simple but challenging gameplay and like Journey, it manages to tell a story without telling you anything. Maybe this one isn't for grandma but switch off the lights, get comfortable and get ready to be gently terrified.

Thornberry's clout may aid Sheppard
Thornberry bristles at D.C.'s clash of agendas
WASHINGTON — U.S. Rep. Mac Thornberry is poised to step into a leadership position that could keep military installations from evaporating in sweeping cutbacks, but he's frustrated with gridlock and a clash of agendas on Capitol Hill.
Republicans like Thornberry are concerned the president seeks to subtract Congress from the legislative equation.
"We have gotten to a place in general where more and more decisions are made by agencies and not by the people's elected representatives," the conservative Republican from Clarendon said.
When the Republican-dominated House gets in the way, the administration regulates, Thornberry said.
The Affordable Care Act, as well as rules related to environmental protection, has been a source of irritating regulations for many Republicans.
The GOP generally fights health care reform with its own measures.
"We may see a steady stream of Obamacare-related legislation over the course of the year because it's going to get worse not better," Thornberry said during an earlier interview.
The recent lesser prairie chicken ruling drew outrage from Republicans.
"The decision of the Obama administration to list the lesser prairie chicken as a threatened species is a great disappointment for West Texas families, our businesses and our economy," Thornberry said in a statement.
He and others pushed for voluntary actions instead of a listing.
Democratic opponent Mike Minter sees other sources of frustration but agrees with Thornberry on some things.
"He made some very good points about Congress being gridlocked and their inability to get any legislation passed," the Wichita Falls small-business owner said.
Washington has never been more divided, he said.
"It's just strictly the Potomac two-step," Minter said. "Unless someone's doing something for me, I'm not going to do anything for them. We have more difficult decisions to be made than whether or not we want to keep fighting about" the Affordable Care Act.
In any case, Thornberry is a traditional West Texas lawmaker, said Mark P. Jones, a Rice University political scientist.
"While he's very conservative, he's very pragmatic in part because he represents an area of the country that does depend on the government and government spending," Jones said.
Federal funding is crucial for rural hospitals, Sheppard Air Force Base in Wichita Falls and agricultural subsidies in Congressional District 13, Jones said.
Thornberry is low key, Jones said.
"He's someone who is more of a workhorse than a show horse, and as a result he has not reached the pinnacle of power in the House," Jones said.
But his clout is on the rise.
Seeking his 11th term in the House, Thornberry serves as vice chairman of the House Armed Services Committee. He's widely acknowledged as the successor to the chairmanship next year after Rep. Buck McKeon, of California, retires.
The Pentagon is seeking another round of Base Realignment and Closure.
Lawmakers on both sides of the aisle, including Thornberry, have been united against that. A new BRAC can't go forward without their approval. But political observers expect another round sooner or later as the military cuts back.
"Whenever that starts, you want to make sure you have as many people as possible in influential roles," Jones said.
Having Thornberry as HASC chairman will help insulate his district against BRAC cuts.
"It's kind of like a game of musical chairs," Jones said. "Who's left standing and who's left sitting when the music stops that's determined in large part by the political power in your delegation."
In a sign of Thornberry's rising importance, GOP leaders have already tasked him with cyber security initiatives and defense acquisition reform.
Congressional gridlock means few laws so far this session have won approval.
But two measures authored by Thornberry were in a 2014 defense bill signed into law last year.
A provision in the $632.8 billion law created a pathway back to Tricare Prime for some retirees and family members. The Department of Defense reduced coverage areas Oct. 1, forcing 171,000 beneficiaries onto Tricare Standard, health care insurance with higher out-of-pocket costs than Prime.
The defense bill also incorporated Thornberry's requirements for stepped-up oversight of drone strikes.

Where do you go after Mars? To Google. At the NASA Ames Research Center in Mountain View, California, Peter Norvig oversaw the coder team that in the late '90s taught rovers to find their way across the Red Planet. A true accomplishment - though he's better known for the wry PowerPoint version of Lincoln's Gettysburg Address that became an Internet hit in 2001. Not long after, Norvig decamped NASA to become Google's director of search quality. His mission: Enhance Google's software so it doesn't just give users the results they ask for but leads them to answers they don't know are there. - Paul Boutin

Psst … wanna buy top-tier advertising on Google, cheap? Then check out what Bruce Clay is hawking. He's part of a subset of Internet marketing specialists known as search engine optimizers. Give Clay several grand and he'll guarantee you high placement on results pages all over the Web. He claims that by adjusting a site's content (primarily through keywords) he can double its monthly search engine traffic within 90 days. And these clicks aren't generated from paid ads. Free advertising - that's almost as good as free cable. - Jesse Freund

Most marathoners rely on a good pair of sneakers and a high-carb diet. Monique Maddy had that much and Google. She wasn't prepared for the New York City Marathon, though she had qualified by running especially fast in her local Boston Marathon. Thanks to Google, Maddy found herself 7,000 miles from home and 8,000 feet above sea level doing sets of 20 grueling climbs up a 1,300-foot hill in a forest outside Eldoret, Kenya. "I ended up training at the High Altitude Training Center in Kenya with Lornah Kiplagat, one of the world's top female distance runners," she says. "Google changed my life as a runner." - J.F.

Bristol weather latest - flood alerts for Avon and Frome rivers
Posted: February 08, 2014|
THE Environment Agency currently has flood alerts in place for the rivers Avon and Frome in Bristol.
The Avon alert covers the river from Saltford to Avomnouth and also includes the river Boyd, By and Brislington Brooks and tributaries.
The alert for the river Frome covers the river and its tributaries from Chipping Sodbury to the Floating Harbour.
Flood alerts are the lowest of the three levels of flood risk identified by the agency, below flood warnings and severe flood warnings.
Stretches of the Avon further upstream are currently subject to flood warnings.
The warnings are in place as the Met Office predicts heavy rain for the Bristol area this morning and this evening, with winds expected to gust at speeds of up to 48mph.
The weather is expected to improve somewhat tomorrow and Monday but another storm is expected later in the week.

Google and Facebook are on a collision course and, as their products start to overlap more, there will be increased competition between them. It's going to be a while before an all out war, maybe even a few years, but, already, the signs are out there. Earlier this week, Facebook released a simplified method for implementing support for Facebook Connect, the social network's popular login standard. Just two days later, Google is firing back with a new, even simpler, way of installing Google Friend Connect.
"Normally when we misplace files here at the Googleplex, we ask our best engineers to get them back. But today, we've gotten rid of a few files on purpose, and we're happy to see them go!" Jonathan Terleski, UI designer for Google Friend Connect, wrote. "Today, we're making it even easier to get started with Google Friend Connect. We've heard from a number of you that uploading files to activate your website is not always easy. So starting today, you no longer have to worry about downloading or uploading files. Setting up a new website just involves entering your site's name and URL upon logging into www.google.com/friendconnect."
The timing of the release is too close to be a coincidence and the move is certainly to counter the threat of Facebook Connect. Google Friend Connect was relatively easy to implement requiring just two files to be uploaded via FTP to the server hosting the web site and going through a few steps. Facebook Connect on the other hand was significantly harder and required more advance knowledge.
Two days ago though, Facebook one-upped Google, literally, with a streamline process which required the user to upload just one file and took only three steps. The idea was that with a simpler install, smaller sites could begin to adopt the standard in detriment of Google's alternative. But now, it's Google's turn to one-up Facebook, again literally, as implementing Google Friend Connect requires no files at all to be uploaded to the server and all it takes is inserting some HTML code to the site.
While it may not seem like such a major difference, it significantly lowers the bar of entry allowing the less tech-savvy users or one using hosting services, which don't allow FTP access to install the login standard. Facing that, Google has nothing to worry about with the competition from Facebook as Google Friend Connect is installed on 5 million websites compared to Facebook's 15,000. The numbers are misleading though, as Facebook has seen adoption from a great number of major sites and services whereas Google Friend Connect's 5 million installs are mostly made up of small sites and blogs like the ones hosted on the company's own Blogger.

Buxom True Hue Blush Swatches
Bare Minerals will be releasing eight shades of Buxom True Hue Blush in February for Spring 2012.
I know many of you are fans of the Buxom Collection, it's a mini oddity isn't it? You got Bare Minerals which for the most part is pretty tame and than you got Buxom which somehow, someway turned into its very own mini collection of fun makeup offerings.
Blush isn't new to Bare Minerals by any means but pressed blush is. I imagine come Spring you'll see Bare Minerals doing pressed blushes however their Buxom Collection gets the VIP treatment first with these.
Take a look at some swatches after the jump!
Swatched top to bottom:
- Luvitate
- Euphoria
- Rendezvous
These will be exclusive to Sephora and Sephora.com for $24 each.
Whatcha think?
12/22/11 13:00 kiwikiwidragon:
Am loving Luvitate! Good for layering or with a dramatic eye
12/22/11 13:34 Sara:
I second Kiwikiwidragon! Blush and lipstick are my new obsessions and Luvitate looks fantastic.
Btw, Muse, do you think you'll post a list of your favorite releases this year? With all the things you review I'm curious what you reach for most on non-swatch days and what stands out each year from all the things you've tested.
12/23/11 13:24 Sara:
Awww, you should take one giant break from the blog for the holidays. We'd all understand! And most everybody is going to be busy playing in all their new presents (what am I, five? :p) and getting in on post-xmas sales.
Play some Skyrim, drink some eggnog, chillax. And then at the first of the year you'll be ready to fill us in on all the Brit tv you watched over the holidays and all the dragons you slayed.
Btw, after everybody raving about it, we decided to get Skyrim too (I feel like I'm not spelling it right?), even though it sounds way too involved for me (stopped playing Rage a wee bit in to the second disc…just do'nt have the ability to sit still anymore), it looks like fun. I think I'm gonna be evil. You can be evil in it, right?
12/22/11 20:50 JenJ:
Gorgois! Seeeeeeeeee im trying to behave. Gah!
12/22/11 21:58 Christina:
Luvitate—I will remember you as Luvit (lol) and pick it up in sephora in February (I'm making my tax time make up list already when I get my return lol!).
Thanks for the blog on this Muse! <3
12/22/11 22:16 gliteratti:
Luvitate is gorgeous.
12/23/11 8:49 Maria:
These look SOOO nice, and I'm a huge fan of the buxom line, but why so expensive!?!?!? *sighs* There's a reason I don't have any Nars blushes and it's not because I don't like the colors, its because I can't afford them.
What are the odds of QVC doing a nice affordable TSV with these so I can get my hands on one I wonder?
12/23/11 12:27 Candee702:
I will definitely be hauling at least one of these.
12/23/11 20:41 Audrey H.:
These would be nice in a palette! Guess Im still in holiday palette mode lol
12/23/11 21:15 Sarah Viera:
I love these! The colors are so useful but also fun!
12/24/11 16:55 Ruthless:
I loathe bare minerals except for shadow eye primers and I LOVE buxom (it's weird I know) so I am excited
12/25/11 1:35 theRothstanator:
Luvitate looks really pretty!
12/26/11 7:41 Shawn:
Those are pretty, Luvitate is delish imho one that can complement any skin tone but a little pricey. I love Benefit Throobbb not only because it gives me the perfect touch of color but for a pressed powder there is a my lifetime plus that for a daughter and grand daughter
Years ago when I started buying BE one was that you got a lot in those little jars which now appear to have become less over time. (I still have a jar from 1999 pre sifter,flat bottom jar that has been used everyday that is now about 1/8 full).
You get what you need or so many are told. Now it seems to me that there is nothing special about BE after all it has been packaged just like many of the other makeup brands, potted plus with more expense.
I've got enough BE to last until the end of time or at least until I quit using makeup altogether
Muse love, Shawn
3/4/12 16:46 Tracy:
Hi Muse ! I was on the hunt for a coral/peach blush, and saw Euphoria at Sephora. Because I'm not a fan of Bare Excentuals, I was skeptical… how is the texture in your opinion ? Do you find it chalky ? How about pigmentation ? Thanks !

When I moved into my own house this summer, just before le divorce, the kitchen became a big-time downsize, which isn't such a horrid event (we did, after all, have a house, and that is something quite spectacular). Except that my kitchen is my lab is my creative studio is my job is where I store everything under the sun that I use for blogging and food photography. So, there's been a lot of shuffling items and tossing items and not being able to find what I need, because there's no space to actually…you know…give anything it's own space.
I settled very quickly in the need for a hanging pot rack. Except, the cheap ones are fugly and the expensive ones are…well…expensive. Add to those concerns the giant fluorescent light hanging smack-dab in the middle of the kitchen, and it felt like the whole idea was becoming one of those too-giant projects that might remain unprojected. Undaunted, I felt certain there was a fairly simple solution, some way to create exactly what I needed with my bare, girlie hands, a properly juiced up drill, and a few basic items from the local hardware store.
I peeked online, checked out a few blog posts, and sought inspiration from Houzz, then took the photos to Home Depot. The concept I pulled together was to take two brackets from the closet-storage aisle of the store, mount them securely on the wall, then utilize a heavy-duty curtain dowel and S-hooks to make and over-the-window pot rack. Total cost for the project, less than $60, and I was on my way home to tame the beast. Or rather, the pots. But stop being picky about my nouns. I'm feeling too womanly to worry about nouns these days.
With a level, a stud finder, and a drill, I decided exactly where to hang the brackets above my window. Since my kitchen window is 4 feet wide, I decided to place a third bracket just above the center of the window to ensure proper securage on my project. My oldest son commented when it was all finished, "great on placing the third bracket. This thing woulda died if it wasn't there."
That said, the actual putting up of three brackets, nine screws, and a single 4″ long curtain rod took about 20 minutes. I decided to hang the brackets nearly flush with the top of my window to allow plenty of head space above the kitchen sink so we're not always hitting pots, but just high enough to keep the pots on the rack easily accessible from their S-hooks.
The kids stood by like paparazzi, screaming, "Mom! You totally did that! You totally made that thing!"
We're excitable when we figure out I can do cool stuff. Once, long ago, I used to just do dishes and laundry and all the generally "girlie" tasks around our house. Nowadays I do everything and it's not a shabby gig. Except for mice catching. That gig is super shabby.
I adored this project because in less than an hour, it felt like I'd completely transformed my entire kitchen. Drawers and cupboards that had been overstuffed were now empty and ready for organizing. The kitchen sink now feels like a functional part of the kitchen, rather than a black hole for dirty dishwater. And I LOVE not having to lean over and hunt through stacks of overloaded pots to find just the one I'm looking for.
Needing a leetle kitchen redo this January? Grab a drill, head to Home Depot, and get your girl on. This project is sexy simple, and soo fun to have done.

Tour Down Under criticised for silence on Armstrong AND keeping quiet over 2003 stage winner's positive test
Organsisers of state-owned race urged to make public thoughts over disgraced champ they paid millions to in appearance fees
Previous News
Next News
Organisers of the Tour Down Under, now established as the curtain raiser to the UCI WorldTour season, are being urged to make their position clear regarding Lance Armstrong or risk next year's event being overshadowed by questions surrounding the digraced cyclist. The 41-year-old secured appearance fees running into millions of dollars in his three appearance in the event, the first of those being his debut for Astana when he came out of retirement in 2009. Race and government officials are also under fire after it emerged that they failed to make public a positive test by a stage winner in the 2003 edition of the race.
Even before the United States Anti Doping Agency's publication of its dossier on Armstrong this week, the Texan's participation in the 2009 Tour Down Under provoked controversy, partly because the UCI gave him special dispensation to compete, despite the fact he had not fulfilled its own requirement of having been subject to a testing programme for six months.
Another cause of criticism was the appearance fee Armstrong negotiated with organisers of the race, which is owned and run on behalf of the South Australian government by Events South Australia,which is a division of the South Australian Tourism Commission.
Although Armstrong's selection of the Tour Down Under for his comeback was seen as a crucial factor in the estimated economic impact of the race more than doubling to A$39 million in 2009, the payment of a fee generally reckoned to be around A$2 million to just one rider proved controversial and attracted widespread condemnation locally.
It is believed that Armstrong also received seven-figure fees for taking part in the race in 2010 and 2011, the latter turning out to be his last ever race outside the United States.
Among the allegations contained in USADA's reasoned decision in the Armstrong case are that he was engaging in blood doping and training under baned Italian doctor Michele Ferrari during that 2009 season and beyond.
Writing in The Age, leading Australian cycling journalist Rupert Guinness accuses Tour Down Under organisers of being "seemingly oblivious" to the potential damage to the race should they fail to go public with their thoughts on the Armstrong situation, saying that if they maintain a media silence until next January' race, the event will be overshadowed by the continued fallout from the US Postal affair.
Race director Mike Turtur, who is also president of the Oceania Cycling Confederation, was quoted in the article as saying: "'I would prefer the UCI to make an official response to the information before I make any comment on it, being a board member.
"I'm in a position not being able to comment on the Armstrong matter or Matt White [the Orica GreenEdge sports director who admitted yesterday to having doped while with US Postal] or anyone else related to that situation.''
He added: ''It's been very difficult to swallow what's been put into the public arena in the last few weeks. It's been horrendous, to a level I never imagined in my wildest dreams.''
Meanwhile, it emerged yesterday – the same day White confessed to doping – that Tour Down Under organisers failed to make public a positive test by Italian rider Giampaolo Caruso after he won a stage of the race in 2003.
Caruso, then with ONCE-Eroski, won Stage 5 of the Tour Down Under in 2003 but subsequently tested positive for the anabolic agent, nandrolone. Caruso was later implicated in the Operacion Puerto scandal but would be released from the investigation by Spanish authorities, and while the Italian authorities tried to have him banned for two years, he was acquitted by the Court of Arbitration for Sport.
In October 2003, the UCI announced that he had been banned for six months, and while Tour Down Under organisers subsequently awarded the prize money for that stage to second-placed Steffen Wesemann of Team Telekom, they made no announcement of the fact.
The failure to make that public meant that until yesterday there was nothing to suggest that the Italian was no longer officially the winner of that stage.
"It would have been published on the (International Cycling Union's) UCI website that he was found to be in violation of the code and that's how it's dealt with," insisted Turtur, quoted in the Herald Sun.
"Race organisers don't go around publicising or advertising or making a point of any doping infringements because it's not their job or their responsibility.
"The organisers manage the race, the UCI manage the sport.
"That's the normal and accepted procedure since day one. The Tour de France might work a bit differently because of what it is and the world-wide media, they will actually go out and state that this has happened.
"It's not that they're breaking the news it's already been identified by the doping agency."
Turtur was unable to immediately confirm whether Caruso is the only rider to have failed a doping control while participating in the race.
"I'm pretty certain that he's the only one that's given a positive from a direct test at the Tour here. We've always operated in the regulations of what's in place on the day.
"I can't see the point in making any other public comment in regard to anything that might happen in that area other than the process taking its natural course with the UCI and the anti-doping agencies.
"The majority of organisers are excluded by that process."
That may indeed be the case, but the rise of the internet and social media mean that organisations in all walks of life are having to become more transparent than ever before about their activities, and are increasingly being held accountable for them; it's hard to imagine that if a situation such as that involving Caruso happened today, the failure to amend a result would go unnoticed for almost a decade.
The Tour Down Under, unlike most leading bike races, also has the additional issue of being owned and organised by a public body, making it perhaps more likely to attract scrutiny than other similar events that are put on by private businesses.

It amazes me that these Directors/Event Managers have an inherent fiduciary responsibility to carry out due diligence when selecting sports persons to represent their organisations. In the situation where a conflict of interest arises e.g. Mr Mike Turtur then he should simply step aside and let someone impartial make the decision. Otherwise it may be construed that he was complicit in the cover up in the event of a scandal. It is a sad day when organisers implicitly or expressly condone the participation of drug cheats. This detracts from all the hard work done by competitive athletes in promoting a level playing field to all.

Like it or not, Lance Armstrong was/is a big star name, if the organisers want to bring them on board to boost their appeal then they are going to have to pay big star money.
Its fairly simple in my eyes.
Like a music festival, if you're a small festival and wanted someone like U2, you'd spend millions, if you're Glastonbury you'll convince them to perform for much, much less.
As for it being a local government, its the same as Manchester City Council recently paying almost half a million for an Alicia Keys performance. I object to the levels of money involved and think it could have been better spent elsewhere, but I wouldn't be holding councilors responsible if she'd had a few lines of coke before she went on stage.

I like your analogy But I would like to think there is a diistinction between artists and athletes. For example if Alicia Keys mimed her way through live concerts it would not be considered Kosher. As for the tour down under there are circa 10k cyclist who turn up http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tour_Down_Under) whereas in the small town of Waterford on the Sean Kelly Tour(http://www.irishtimes.com/newspaper/ireland/2012/0827/1224323032584.html) circa 6500.
My point being I didn't see them paying two million for a celebrity to show up and all the net proceeds went to charity. I would argue that you could spend your money a little more wisely given the numbers involved rather then on an individual surrounded by controversy.

Mind you, I would also enjoy seeing Lance Armstrong going all out mental and copying Salvadore Dali and his quote of "I dont do drugs...I AM drugs" accompanied by a descent in to v-flicking, illegal street races.
Embrace the madness.

Greek duo with University ties make impact at Olympics
By : Katie Ellis
Lydia Koniordou, a familiar face to Binghamton University, was asked many months ago by Olympics creative director Dimitris Papaioannou if she'd play a role in the games' opening ceremonies.
On August 13, at the Olympics Stadium just outside Athens in the suburb of Maroussi, she did.
In a venue featuring a steel-and-glass roof designed by Spanish architect Santiago Calatrava and referred to as his "Olympic Dream," Koniordou fulfilled her waking dream amid more than 80,000 performers.
Koniordou and Papaioannou have ties to the Binghamton campus that stretch back to 1999 and their performances, cornerstones of the University's semester-long Homage to Greece celebration. Koniordou directed and starred in Sophocles' "Electra," and Papaioannou was the director, choreographer and star of "Medea."
A native of Athens, Koniordou has been called the greatest contemporary tragedienne in Greece, where she has performed and directed in countless plays. She's also taught acting, improvisation and ancient Greek drama worldwide, and earlier this year she returned to Binghamton to direct Euripides' "Alcestis" on the Watters Theater stage.
Koniordou was so convinced that Papaioannou's artistic vision for the Olympics' opening ceremonies would be so wonderful that she said she would have participated blindfolded.
As it turned out, the experience was "one of the most happy moments" of her life, she said.
Papaioannou "had created a small universe in the stadium and it was like a journey in time - so beautiful and deeply moving," she added. "I felt that we were sharing our gifts from the past with the whole universe."
After opening the artistic portion of the ceremonies by reading a poem authored by a Greek poet, Koniordou witnessed history.
"I was in the stadium, walking slowly all around this sea created inside," she said. "I was in the heart of the stadium. I felt like I was making a journey around the world and at the same time, through time, since ancient times."
A record 202 delegations marched in the ceremony. In addition to 75,000 spectators at the stadium, more than 4.5 billion people worldwide watched on television.
"I also became conscious, along with many Greek people, that modern Greek artists and creators can now face our classical past and great civilization bravely and creatively, with love, humor and tenderness," she said.
"We are not in need of proving anything anymore. It's a turning point for us because it was such a high level of art, and yet it moved every spectator and touched everyone. The result, I believe deeply, will be seen in the future, at least in the world of creators."

Fay Vincent: Most memorable Christmas of my life spent in hospital
In 1956, when I was 18, I spent Christmas Day in the Waterbury, Conn., hospital. It turned out to be the most memorable holiday celebration of my now long life. I was confined to a Stryker frame, which, had it not been superbly designed to suit paralyzed patients, might have been seen as a torture device. The frame was necessary because I had fallen out of my college dorm window — after my roommate had locked me in my room — and broken my back. I was to spend about two months on that frame and though I recovered the use of my legs sufficiently to walk again, I never got back their full use. That Christmas Day I experienced several simple joys that have remained with me as powerful and poignant memories.
The genius of the design of the Stryker frame was that it permitted the immobile patient to lie first on his back and to be "flipped" onto his stomach in order to stimulate circulation and prevent blood clotting and skin breakdown that had afflicted such patients before it became possible to rotate patients with severe back injuries. The flip took place every two hours day and all night. To accomplish it, the patient became the middle of a sandwich comprised of a cot-like frame identical to the one on which he was resting being bolted on top of the prostrate patient. Then, on a command, several nurses and aids would flip the bolted twin frames over and the patient would then spend the next two hours in the reversed position.
It sounds like a grim procedure, but in fact I got used to the flipping and it became normal activity.
But with the arrival of Christmas, my father volunteered to stand in for my daytime nurse who wanted the day off. What made the holiday so special was his total devotion to helping me, albeit with no words spoken. He was not a verbal man. But to have him there with me and to have him so readily willing to share that long day — those are pillars of a devotion I held for him for the next 30 years of his life.
We were so close because we had experienced an intimacy during a sad and difficult time. Our Christmas was spent together. It was shared with others in the family and happily so, but when everyone left and the day turned to dusk and the time arrived for the next flipping, there he was, this powerful former Yale football star, standing over me, strong hands fixed to the frame, signaling to me he was there with me and all was secure. Those moments are transforming. They are the core of the Christmas love. They remain at the essence of my devotion to my father.
In the hospital that day, I also remember vividly the warmth and good cheer of the nurses and staff and even the doctors who rotated in and out of my room with bright wishes of the season. Some were delighted to share the candy or cookies I had been given. Others wanted to chat of the cold weather or the latest news, but I recall no one complaining at having to be on duty for the holiday. Unspoken was the clear recognition that I was in a tough position and my complaints would have been of the trump card variety. I still remember how pleasant the day was and how surprised I was that it passed much like every other day with no special sense of disappointment. I was stuck. I was paralyzed. I simply had to be patient and pray for the healing process to continue.
The great blessing was to have been so young. It never occurred to me I would not get better, not have many better Christmas days and besides, this one was not all that bad.
Then there were the two little kids who looked into my room as they walked by in the hall. "Hey, look at that guy. He got tubes coming from everywhere. He got to be bad."
I had to laugh, but I was so young I did not realize what truth they told.

By Kristin Ohlson, Experience Life
You've been trying to start a family without success for the past year or more, you're not alone. As many as one in 10 Americans will experience infertility, according to RESOLVE, a national infertility association. While the causes are not completely understood, research suggests contributing factors may include poor nutrition, environmental agents and stress — symptoms common to other health issues. The fact that many women are waiting longer to start families also plays a role.
The good news is that there are a number of natural, noninvasive options for treating infertility, and embracing them can often help improve general well-being and vitality.
If you've been struggling for a while to get pregnant, seek medical testing to rule out any physical impediments, like blocked tubes. In the meantime, consider working with a healthcare professional who takes an integrative approach to infertility.
Instead of focusing strictly on ovulation and conception, integrative practitioners look at the big picture. They work to correct hormonal imbalances and biochemical problems that can be triggered by factors such as toxins, a poor diet and anxiety. They see infertility as being symptomatic of a larger, systemic issue.
"Remember the spot-reducing craze of the 1980s?" asks holistic health counselor Alisa Vitti, founder of FLO Living, a healthcare center for women in New York City. "We thought we could do certain exercises to get rid of 'saddlebags.' Now we know you have to work on the whole body and increase your metabolic rate, build your muscle mass and so on. Same thing with fertility. The best way to protect it is to use food and lifestyle to support the overall function of the endocrine and reproductive systems."
That means consciously working to improve health before even attempting to get pregnant, especially if you're over 35, when the decline in the frequency of ovulation can make conception harder.
"We used to think it only made a difference what women did while they were pregnant," says Marcelle Pick, OB/GYN, NP, cofounder of the Women to Women clinic in Yarmouth, Maine, and author of Are You Tired and Wired? (Hay House, 2011). "Now we know that it's important to begin these changes during the year before you get pregnant. A lot of women don't even realize that they're pregnant until they're already six or seven weeks in, so it's important to make that conscious shift to a healthy body early on."
If you want to start a family, today or sometime down the road, these nine strategies can help make your dream a reality.

Simon Lack responds to Mesirow's Greg Fedorinchik: Hedge fund investors are betting on a record year, every year.
By Simon Lack
A friend drew my attention to a
thoughtful article on the benefits of using a fund of
hedge funds compared with going direct. Mesirow's Greg
Fedorinchik has presented a justification for the extra layer
of fees by showing how little additional performance is needed
to reach a better outcome, particularly when the fee discounts
that FOHFs can negotiate are figured in. Greg compared the
additional cost of a FOHF with the expenses of investing in
hedge funds directly, including staff and other expenses. He
also assumed that FOHF's are able to negotiate lower fees than
other investors, an understandable assumption but one for which
there's little hard evidence.
There are many talented people working at FOHFs. I
worked for JPMorgan Alternative Asset Management for a number
of years where I focused on smaller managers where you can
often achieve better returns. I still have many friends there
(and yes, they've all read my book The Hedge Fund Mirage!).
However, there are some problems with Greg's
analysis. First of all, he assumes that the industry will
generate 8.5% per annum. In my book I famously showed that all
the money ever invested in hedge funds would have done better
in treasury bills, a surprising result. There are great hedge
funds and happy clients, but analyzing asset weighted returns
so as to capture the results of all the
clients reveals that the average is far worse than
But hedge funds are a soft target, so let's go with
time weighted returns using HFRI and contemplate this 8.5%
return expectation. It's been a very long time since hedge
funds consistently delivered this much. In fact, for the
theoretical investor who started his portfolio long ago and
didn't add or subtract (i.e. not very realistic but nonetheless
how proponents like to present results) if you made your hedge
fund investments any later than 1995 you haven't yet earned
8.5% per annum. Even if you had the heroic insight and cash to
begin in 2009, as markets were recovering, you've only earned
7.5% per annum; not much for catching a falling knife.
It turns out that in the 1990s hedge fund investors
did very well. There just weren't that many of them. Those
early years of success have attracted too much money and now
the industry is overcapitalized. Every quarter hedge funds
collectively provide empirical support for the findings in my
book. Some of the smartest people in Finance run hedge funds,
and there's now $2.5 trillion competing with itself in looking
for an edge. The goals have evolved -- they no longer seek
Absolute Returns (maybe AR should change its name) or Relative
Returns but now Uncorrelated Returns. It's still called alpha
(though the benchmark needs to be flexible) but investors are
discovering with real money just how much alpha is really out
there. For even assuming FOHF's can consistently select
managers who will work for a discounted 1.5% & 17% (versus
2% & 20%) the 8.5% net return requires a gross return of
11.74% (8.5%/(1-0.17) + 1.5%). On $2.5 trillion that's almost
$300 billion every year, just below the GDP of Chile (#41 on
the IMF's list). Hedge funds have never made that much (apart
from in 2009 following a far greater loss in 2008). Hedge fund
investors are betting on a record year, every year. The
analysis that begins in 1995 and ignores AUM in assessing the
appropriateness of hedge funds for a client assumes no
size-related constraints. Such analysis is resulting in many
years of disappointment and missed targets for pension
The deep flaw in the FOHF model is diversification.
As counter-intuitive as this may sound, if you're investing in
a sea of mediocrity where occasional nuggets of value can be
found, manager selection is critical. Assuming you possess such
skill (and some do) more numerous investments to achieve
diversification draw the portfolio toward the prevailing
mediocrity of the average. If you're good at picking hedge
funds just choose a couple. Naturally, the 10%-20% conventional
allocation will be far too much for this investor; 1-2% is more
appropriate, but it provides a greater chance of higher
returns. Hedge funds are just not going to solve every pension
fund's problem of underfunded obligations. Diversification
suits the allocator as it reduces the risk of substantial
underperformance which would jeopardize the business model, but
the consequence is that investors are stuck with the mediocre
average as a result.

Maryland basketball coach Mark Turgeon has already shown a knack for recruiting in his brief tenure in College Park and now he has landed another big-time local prospect.
Bishop O'Connell junior guard Melo Trimble (Arlington, VA) has committed to the University of Maryland, making the announcement on Thursday morning. He chose to officially share the news on his mother's birthday.
Trimble, a member of the AAU powerhouse DC Assault, heads to Maryland as part of Turgeon's 2014 class. He follows in the footsteps of fan-favorite Dave Neal who also played for the Terps.
The 6'3" Trimble is rated as a four-star prospect and is considered a combo guard. Rivals.com currently has him listed as the 59th player overall in the 2014 class.
According to Rivals, Trimble also had offers from Miami (FL), Virginia Tech, and Villanova. Georgetown was also in the mix.
Trimble is the first official signing of the Terps' 2014 class as the commitment comes much earlier than most players decide.
