Don't miss the last night of the Proms!
Published: Wednesday 4th of September 2013
The classical music season is well and truly underway with the last few nights of the Proms, featuring some of the best known stars in the industry.
Taking place at the Royal Albert Hall, the Proms, more formally known as the BBC Proms, or the Henry Wood Promenade Concerts presented by the BBC, is nearing the end of its eight-week celebration of orchestral classical music.
If you are a fan of the great Tchaikovsky, then tonight's Prom 72 will feature Verdi/ Tchaikovsky. During the event, Xian Zhang will be directing the Orchestra Sinfonica di Milano Giuseppe Verdi.
Or perhaps you'd rather the Late-night Schubert, featuring pianists Imogen Cooper and Paul Lewis, who will be performing for the Late Night Prom of the festival.
But it doesn't end there. On Friday September 6th, Lorin Maazel will be conducting the Vienna Philharmonic in Bruckner's Eighth Symphony.
And then later in the evening, the Proms Plus Late will be taking place, which is an informal post-prom event featuring great music and poetry.
But the grand finale of the Proms will actually take place on Saturday September 7th. On this night, Marin Alsop will make history as she becomes the first female conductor of the Last Night of the Proms.
Before that however, tourists will get the chance to join the party in Hyde Park, for the Proms in the Park event, featuring special guest Bryan Ferry and hosted by Sir Terry Wogan.
This very unique open air concert will include a whole raft of musical superstars, including including Red Hot Chilli Pipers, Craig Charles and the Fantasy Funk Band.
The Proms is one of those events that really help to highlight the unique culture and tradition of the UK, where visitors get a taste of the culture, music and fanfare that puts the 'Great' in Great Britain.
Even the venue itself has a very special significance in the rich heritage of the UK. Built in 1871, the Royal Albert Hall is one of London's most prestigious historic buildings and has played host to over 150,000 performances during its lifetime.
In the absence of major events such as the Proms, visitors can take a one-hour tour of the building and get an in-depth view of its architecture, history and the work of this registered charity.

Local nonprofit 3Hopeful Hearts will host The Birdhouse Project, a workshop geared toward helping Larimer County parents and families grieving the loss of a loved one.
The Birdhouse Project will be 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. Saturday at Club Tico, 1559 City Park Drive, in Fort Collins. The workshop will consist of a presentation, lunch provided by Macaroni Grill and the hands-on building of a birdhouse for each participant to symbolize the rebuilding of a life after crisis or loss.
Each participant puts the pieces of their birdhouse together, making the creation ready to house life again. Hundreds of groups have benefited from this presentation by helping people begin to rebuild their lives after life-altering events such as a death, divorce, illness and natural disasters.
3Hopeful Hearts is a Northern Colorado organization that provides resources to parents suffering the loss of a pregnancy or child through events, education and remembrance.

A permanent facility serving the residents of Nueva Vida and Ciudad Sandino was dedicated by former Bucknell University President, Steffen Rogers in 2001 and a new building was officially dedicated in March 2007. Building and daily operation costs are largely funded through efforts of the Bucknell Brigade and its supporters. The health complex includes three exam rooms, a pharmacy, an herbal medicine room, a birthing room, a dental chair, and a functioning lab.
With over 10, 000 patient files , the clinic provides acute care and some chronic care for patients with asthma, diabetes and hypertension.
A Nicaraguan doctor works part-time at the clinic in Nueva Vida along with a part-time nurse practitioner. Staff provide a thorough medical exam to those who access the clinic, while the pharmacy provides tens of thousands of dollars worth of medicines and health care supplies.
When the Brigade is in Nicaragua, Dr. Don Stechschulte, Director of Student Health at Bucknell, sees patients with the help of bi-lingual students who provide translation services. Bucknell students also work in the pharmacy to take inventory and distribute medicine.

It was weird last night. Pages were taking forever to load but the stuff I was seeding with uTorrent was getting upwards of a couple hundred kbs of uploading speed, as opposed to the normally 35-40 kbs. I ended up getting frustrated, called my browser a motherfucker and quit for the night.

Oh well that blows. ^
Normally I love snow but I'm glad it got up to the 50s today and melted it all away, because it's supposed to drop down to around 0 tomorrow, which would have frozen all the snow solid and left my side of the mountain -- which doesn't receive any direct sunlight -- a giant sheet of ice. So we dodged that bullet. But there's still the flu I'm sure to contract thanks to the drastic changes in temperature.
So I have that to look forward to.

Funny how people react towards animals compared to humans. The movie wasn't that good anyway, so you're not missing much if you turned it off. The Collection was much better, but I don't recall if there is any sort of animal cruelty.

Nothing offends me in film, it's all fantasy, manufactured for precisely that type of reaction.
Mwahahaha Yeah humans indeed, sure looks like anyways.
Funny truth.
Check out Cannibal Holocaust.
Still just a movie,
Basically I've been treated like absolute trash most of my life, it destroyed my moral cores and made me rather cynical in a lot of ways, but I've also grown up understanding the difference between fantasy and reality, those together add to a sum of near impossible to offend me, what few things can truly disturbed would get me arrested for watching them in the first place.
Fantasy IS REALITY. Dreams are what makes a human look ahead and go forward, if you don't dream anymore you just die. Period.
And I've found it, I truely live in it.
I rarely dream when I don't want to.
I NEVER Dream. I ALWAYS Nightmare instead, much cooler and you don't see girls like this in Dreams, never.
Lovely Alice, SEXY!!!
Nightmares are still dreams.
^^^Nope because they contain absolutely NO GOOD. Well in mine that is.2 very different things. Just like good or bad and I know what you're gonna reply to this so I'm telling you...

Free calling in Gmail extended for all of 2011

Google extends free Grmail calls for all of 2011
Google has given users of its calling in Gmail service a holiday present by announcing on Monday it will extend the free service for all of 2011. Introduced in August, the calling feature was free for calls made in the US and Canada for the remainder of the year. The feature mimics a regular phone, with calling accomplished through a dialer or by clicking a saved contact's name.
The feature requires a Google Voice account and will show that number on caller ID as well as take calls sent to the same number. It also needs the same Linux, Mac or Windows plugin that is used for regular AV chat. Calling to countries outside of North America starts at two cents per minute.

The Associated Press reports that former CEO David Perdue and congressman Jack Kingston won first and second place, respectively, in Tuesday's Republican primary for U.S. Senate in Georgia. Because Perdue, at 30 percent, did not win an outright majority, both he and Kingston (who got 26 percent) will face off in a runoff election for the GOP nomination on July 22. Fewer than 25,000 votes separated Perdue and Kingston.
The five-way primary saw former secretary of state Karen Handel come in third at 22 percent and congressmen Phil Gingrey and Paul Broun practically tied for fourth at 10 percent, according to the latest results from the AP.
How did Perdue and Kingston do it, and how does that portend for the runoff? Kingston's numbers in south Georgia, from which he hails, were impressive. He consistently won 70 percent or more in several counties, running up big totals in Chatham County (Savannah), Glynn County (Brunswick), Bulloch County (Statesboro) and Lowndes County (Valdosta). Kingston's votes in Chatham alone make up for more than half his margin over Karen Handel. And despite starting the race with little name recognition in the more populous northern third of the state, Kingston racked up enough votes in metro Atlanta counties to stave off any threat from Handel. Handel was also hurt by strong showings in some metro Atlanta counties like Cobb and Cherokee by Phil Gingrey, who represents those counties in Congress. By keeping her numbers down and performing well enough in Atlanta, Kingston ensured his place in the runoff.
Kingston also had the benefit of help from outside groups with advertising, particularly the U.S. Chamber of Commerce. Rob Engstrom, the Chamber's political director, says Kingston represents the "very best of Georgia."
"He is tested, proven and ready to lead Georgia forward," says Engstrom. "The Chamber is proud to stand with Jack to help restore economic growth and bring America back." Expect to see more help from the Chamber on Kingston's behalf in the runoff.
As for Perdue, the first-time candidate was consistently first or second in nearly every county in the state. His early ad buys that defined him as an outsider ensured he separated from the pack of sitting and former elected officials. It didn't hurt that he shares the last name of his cousin Sonny Perdue, the first Republican governor of Georgia in the modern era. Perdue has the benefit of his own fortune, the lowest estimates of which are just under $12 million. He's likely to self-fund his campaign.
It's difficult to say who has the advantage in the runoff after such a close primary. Turnout will be even lower in July, and there are nine weeks of campaigning in between. Supporters of Handel, Gingrey, and Broun may be more likely to shift their vote to Kingston; talk-radio host Erick Erickson, a Handel supporter, was quick on Twitter to lend his support to Kingston, even before the AP made its final call.
But Kingston will have to grapple with his long tenure and record in the House of Representatives--11 terms--and the potential for an anti-incumbent, anti-Washington message from the Perdue campaign to take hold.
"Georgia Republicans have spoken tonight," said Perdue in his victory speech Tuesday. "They're concerned about the mess in Washington, like you and I are. And I believe they are looking for an alternative."
So, too, will the general election be an issue during the runoff. The Republican nominee will face Michelle Nunn, who easily won the Democratic nomination without need for a runoff. As Perdue said in his speech, "Whoever represents the Republican party as the Senate nominee this fall, they have got to beat Michelle Nunn this fall." The sense of urgency about beating Nunn isn't campaign-speech bluster; changing demographics in Georgia mean its recent GOP tilt may not be so in the next several cycles. Nunn, the daughter of former Democratic senator Sam Nunn, represents one of the Democrats better chances at flipping a Senate seat in their direction. Having an incumbent Republican in that seat when it's up again in 2020 is critical for the GOP.
If there's one thing we know about today's Georgia Republican primary for U.S. Senate, it's that we really don't know who will win. Or, more precisely, we don't know which candidates will come in first and second to proceed to the inevitable runoff election in July. With five major candidates in the running, it's unlikely the winner will get the necessary 50 percent support to avoid a runoff. So even after today, we still won't know who will be the Republican nominee in November.

Karen Handel, a Republican candidate for Senate in Georgia, has a new TV ad that pitches her as a "conservative fighter" who wants to "stop illegal immigration and Obamacare" and "cut spending."
"I've been a fighter my whole life. I left a troubled home at 17, but I beat the odds," Handel says in the 30-second spot. "I worked my way up in the private sector and implemented Georgia's tough voter ID law." Handel is the former secretary of state. Watch the video below:
Three Republican House members from Georgia, who are also running for the Senate, voted against their conference's budget Thursday. Jack Kingston, Phil Gingrey, and Paul Broun joined nine other Republicans in voting against the budget, authored by chairman Paul Ryan of Wisconsin.
In a new radio ad, Republican Senate candidate Karen Handel of Georgia hits back at her primary opponent David Perdue for his recently released comments about her lack of a college education. Perdue also touted his international business experience. The minute-long Handel ad replays Perdue's comments.
Republican congressman Paul Broun is leading a field of five Senate candidates in Georgia, a new poll has found. Broun has 27 percent of the GOP primary vote, according to a poll commissioned by liberal group Better Georgia. Broun's competitors came in relatively far behind, with fellow congressman Phil Gingrey in second with 14 percent, congressman Jack Kingston with 13 percent, and businessman David Perdue with 12 percent. Former secretary of state Karen Handel registered 9 percent support.
A new poll of Georgia voters found the likely Democratic nominee for U.S. Senate is slightly ahead of four the candidates in the crowded GOP primary. PPP, working on behalf of the liberal group Americans United For Change, found that Democrat Michelle Nunn leads Republican congressmen Paul Broun, Phil Gingrey, and Jack Kingston, as well as former secretary of state and gubernatorial candidate Karen Handel.
A Republican candidate for Congress in Georgia has received around a quarter of his donations from out of state--and at least one of those is from the grave.
Michelle Nunn, the daughter of former Democratic senator Sam Nunn of Georgia, will run for the Senate next year, the Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports:
Georgia Democrats may finally have a candidate for next year's Senate race to succeed Republican Saxby Chambliss. Michelle Nunn, an Atlanta businesswoman and the daughter of former senator Sam Nunn, is "actively preparing" for a Senate campaign, the Hill reports:
Tom Price, a Republican congressman from Georgia, will not run for the U.S. Senate next year. Price told the Marietta Daily Journal that his "assessment at this point is the House is the battleground for politics in this country right now" and he will seek sixth term for his metro Atlanta House seat.
Congressman Tom Price, a Republican, has said he will not announce a decision about running next year for the Senate in Georgia until May, but a pair of fundraising emails obtained by THE WEEKLY STANDARD indicate the GOP congressman may be leaning toward getting in the race. Here's an excerpt from Price's first email to donors, sent Thursday:
Dear Friends:
The first quarter FEC reporting deadline is fast approaching on March 31st! We are off to a strong start with fundraising this year, and we are extremely close to reaching our first quarter goal.
Dear Friends:

House Phil Gingrey of Georgia plans to announce his candidacy for the U.S. Senate on Wednesday. The six-term Republican and obstetrician will make the announcement at his alma mater of Georgia Tech in Atlanta. Here's more from Georgia Tipsheet:
Republican Karen Handel, the former Georgia secretary of state, gubernatorial candidate, and vice president for the Susan G. Komen Foundation, is moving closer to running for the Senate next year to succeed Republican Saxby Chambliss. Georgia political blog Peach Pundit reports:
"I have some discomfort with all Republican primaries because they're all family squabbles," said Tom Price, the 58-year-old Republican House member from north of Atlanta. "My brother and I used to fight almost daily," Price, the middle child among five brothers and sisters, said. "My mom's only prayer was, 'Don't hurt each other.'"

The wheels should be 8-170mm, it always best to measure this prior to ordering to make sure. You do this by measuring the center of one lug stud to the center of the 180 degree opposite lug stud. 170mm is 6 11/16 inchs

- The Daily Times launches Four Corners Bucket List
EDITOR'S NOTE: This is part of The Daily Times' outdoors bucket list. On the last Thursday of each month in 2014, we'll bring you a feature on a spot in the Four Corners that you should check out.This month, our readers chose Monument Valley Navajo Tribal Park as our outdoors bucket list feature through a poll on The Daily Times' website.
MONUMENT VALLEY — The iconic image of John Wayne perched on a saddled horse with a lasso in his hand, bandana around his neck and cowboy hat blocking his face from the harsh, western sun is burned into the minds of baby boomers throughout the U.S.
But it's also a scene that resonates worldwide.
What else to do in the neighborhood
Iconic buttes throughout Monument Valley Navajo Tribal Park make this a destination for any connoisseur of the Southwest. But several spots nearby also offer majestic views.
How to get there: This route takes you by other must-see spots. It's about a 300-mile round-trip drive from Farmington, and takes about three hours each way. From Farmington, drive west on U.S. Highway 64. In Teec Nos Pas, Ariz., continue straight onto U.S. Highway 160 . After 28 miles, take a right onto U.S. Route 191. You will drive into Utah, and, after 26 miles, take a left onto U.S. Highway 163. You will go through Mexican Hat and continue on Highway 163 for about 22 miles. Here, you will pass Goosenecks State Park. Stay straight and you will see signs directing you to Monument Valley.
Next month's Bucket list item: It's the hottest time of the year, which means people want to be near the water. In July, read about the best lakes in the area where you can cool off, as well as a couple of ways to do so.
Douglas Walton, 72, and his wife, Pauline, 67, were far from their home of Perton, a village in England, during their fourth visit on Sunday to Monument Valley Navajo Tribal Park. Both are avid John Wayne fans, but unlike most of their friends who have never visited the U.S., they have seen the Southwest for themselves.
"Our childhood was made of Hollywood movies, cowboys and Indians," said Douglas Walton. "You remember things from your childhood better than the things that come later."
On Sunday, the couple set out with matching blue trekking poles to hike Wildcat Trail inside the park. While the trip marked the couple's 40th time in the United States, it was their first time hiking the 3.2-mile trail that meanders into the valley and loops around the prominent sandstone formation of West Mitten Butte.
The trail is well-marked — the route include painted white arrows, cairns and mile-markers — but still conveys the sense of isolation one finds in the desert. Only from the bottom of the valley can one stand at the foot of the rock structures, most towering 400 to 1,200 feet overhead.
The trail begins to the north of the visitors' center parking lot. Ample water — at least one liter per person — and sneakers or hiking boots are necessary for this hike. The trail itself is mellow, but the last stretch requires an uphill climb on soft sand that, after already being in the sun for a while, could drain even the most fit.
Although the formations inside the tribal park have remained largely unchanged over the last 50 years, aside from a bit of erosion, a visit to the area is vastly different than it was decades ago.
Tour guide Leroy Teeasyatoh remembers when he first came to the park in the 1970s and it was a place feared by white people.
"The man would make the woman jump out of the car and take the photo really quick, and then drive right through," said Teesayatoh, who owns Sacred Monument Tours with his wife, Torrie Teeasyatoh.
Monument Valley was officially named a Navajo Tribal Park in 1958, according to Navajo Nation Parks and Recreation Manager Martin Begay, and the visitors center was the only addition for about 25 years.
Hike to Tear Drop Arch
This hike cuts through private land, so you need a guided tour. It's an easy hike, with ruins along the way. There are rigorous trail offshoots, too. The trailhead is off Highway 163, south of the intersection with Highway 468.
Take an iconic photograph
As you head south into Monument Valley, stop near milemarker 13 on U.S. Highway 163 to get a shot of the landscape. You won't be alone; this stretch is littered with tourists snapping shots in the middle of the road.
Stay outside the park
Mexican Hat, Utah, is a small town on the San Juan River. The San Juan Inn is just outside the Navajo Nation, so if you'd like to drink a cold one after a day at Monument Valley, this is the spot you will want to stay. Go biking or four-wheeling
Goosenecks State Park gets its name from the section of the San Juan River that is six miles long but only advances two miles. Hiking, biking, and four-wheeling are all activities available in this Utah park.
In the 1980s, the park received funding to build a paved road, water line and campground. Now, 350,000 to 400,000 people visit the park each year. Leroy Teeasyatoh believes it is important for Navajo people, like him, to serve as guides in the park so misconceptions about his people can be squashed.
"Now when they come, the tepee becomes the hogan," he said.
The Waltons on Sunday chose not to take a ride in one of the open-air touring trucks that bounce hundreds of tourists daily through the tribal park. Not once in their 25 years of visiting the park have they taken a tour.
The couple said they enjoy the independence of exploring on their own, though there are many advantages to a guided tour. The park sits within the boundaries of the Navajo Nation, and parts of it can only be accessed with a Navajo guide. The buttes and mesas that create the area's unique horizon line are sacred monuments in the Navajo culture.
If you go on a horseback ride with Leroy Teeasyatoh, he may tell you these formations are like what churches are to an Anglo society. He may tell you Merrick Butte represents the soul, East Mitten Butte is the female hand and West Mitten Butte is the male hand, representing the open arms of a hug.
Or he may tell you to make your own interpretation.

Internet site shut down that targeted PNC Bank
PNC Bank had authorities investigate and shut down an Internet site early Tuesday after cyber criminals tried to "phish" sensitive information from people online, said a bank spokesman.
An unknown number of PNC customers and possibly non-customers received e-mail from someone posing as PNC saying their online bank accounts had been blocked and instructing them to renew online.
Once it detected the scam, PNC posted the rogue e-mail message on its site to alert people, said spokesman Pat McMahon.
The bank also provided ID theft protection tips on its site.

From the wrong side of the tracks...
Alyson Blake had learned early on that the only one she could depend on was herself. The only light in her life was a boy whom everyone agreed was destined for prison; but with his first kiss, he had set her soul on fire. Since the day the police dragged him away in handcuffs, she had managed to lead a quiet life, but when she attends an event fraught with mayhem, trouble resurfaces.
The one person she can't forget...
Jamison Weston is the kind of guy dads load their shotguns for; endowed with a hot temper and a rap sheet as long as both tattooed arms. Known as "The Judge," Jami's hot temper, lethal fists, and cocky attitude have earned him respect and admiration both in and out of the ring. But just when he thinks he's pummeled his past to death, Alyson Blake reenters his life.
Two paths collide…
After years of separation, Alyson is eager to reexplore the man who's never left her thoughts, but for Jamison, she's both the distraction he wants, but doesn't need. As the two embark on a relationship that neither of them expected or bargained for, an outside threat closes in. When Alyson crosses the line of professionalism and takes her work home with her, her life is put in danger, leaving Jamison with no choice but to once again step in and become her protector.

Obama and the Criminal Collective Punishment of the Iranian People
Posted By John Glaser On January 14, 2013 @ 11:29 am In News | Comments Disabled
Article 33 of the Fourth Geneva Convention: "No general penalty, pecuniary or otherwise, shall be inflicted upon the population on account of the acts of individuals for which they can not be regarded as jointly and severally responsible."
The Guardian reports [1] that "Hundreds of thousands of Iranians with serious illnesses have been put at imminent risk by the unintended consequences of international sanctions, which have led to dire shortages of life-saving medicines such as chemotherapy drugs for cancer and bloodclotting agents for haemophiliacs."
The key word there is "unintended." The problem with describing it this way is that it isn't accurate. Washington understands the consequences of the sanctions, and the same Guardian report acknowledges that the Obama administration has been made aware that hundreds of thousands of sick people in Iran have had their access to medicine restricted because of the sanctions. And they haven't done anything about it.
"The west lies when it says it hasn't imposed sanctions on our medical sector. Many medical firms have sanctioned us," Naser Naghdi, the director general of Iran's biggest pharmaceutical company, told the Guardian.
But sanctions aren't just blocking much needed medical supplies; unemployment is rising and inflation is spiraling out of control. "Prices of fruit and sugar, among other staples, have soared – in some cases showing threefold and fourfold increases," Saeed Kamali Dehghan wrote in the Guardian [2] last summer. "The price of meat, an essential ingredient of Iranian food, has gone up to such an extent that many now eat it only on special occasions."
"What is most concerning," according to [3] Trita Parsi, president of the National Iranian American Council, "is that it is now increasingly clear that the people are the target." Parsi added that "in a non-democracy, such as Iran, the ability for people to pressure their government is limited," and that "Many in Washington acknowledge that we are conducting economic warfare. That means the entire Iranian economy is the battlefield – and ordinary Iranians are [seen as] enemy combatants."
Secretary of Defense Leon Panetta has admitted [4] sanctions aren't demonstrably changing the policies of the regime, but has insisted on their continuance nevertheless. As one of the top congressional supporters of sanctions, Rep. Brad Sherman (D-CA), said [5], "Critics [of the sanctions] argued that these measures will hurt the Iranian people. Quite frankly, we need to do just that." Or take Rep. Gary Ackerman (D-NY) [6]: "The goal … is to inflict crippling, unendurable economic pain over there. Iran's banking sector — especially its central bank — needs to become the financial equivalent of Chernobyl: radioactive, dangerous and most of all, empty."
One of the major atrocities of all of post-WWII US foreign policy was the American-led sanctions on Iraq [7], which ended up killing hundreds of thousands of Iraqis. We heard the same odious rationales for the sanctions on Iraq as we are now hearing for the sanctions on Iran. Denis Halliday, UN Humanitarian Coordinator in Baghdad, insisted [8] the effect of the Iraq sanctions "fit the definition of genocide."
We may be seeing this repeat in Iran. And for what? It can't be punishment for a rogue nuclear weapons program: the US intelligence community has concluded [9] it doesn't exist. Whether the reason behind the sanctions are to placate Israeli security concerns or to block Iran's regional influence, what matters is that this economic warfare is criminal; it violates the Fourth Geneva Convention.
But apparently President Obama – Nobel Peace Prize winner – doesn't care about legally binding international treaties and conventional laws. Instead, he is busy implementing the collective punishment of Iranians for a crime they haven't committed.

Should women exercise during their pregnancy? Chartered physiotherapist Dan Lawrence looks at the pros and cons
The answer in short is yes! It is generally accepted that exercise during pregnancy is beneficial for both the physical and emotional well-being of the mother. There is little understanding of the benefits for foetal development, but the mother's awareness of the potential risks and warning signs is important.
Generally speaking, a previously active, expectant mother with a low-risk single pregnancy can continue to exercise as long as she adheres to some simple guidelines. One formal research paper concluded: "Parachute jumping should be avoided!"
Paula Radcliffe and former Bupa Great North Run winner Kara Goucher are among top female athletes who have continued albeit scaled-down training regimes well into pregnancy.
Knowledge of the advantages is mainly focused around the physical and psychological benefits for the mother. Continuing to exercise during pregnancy allows mothers to gain less weight and to deliver, on average, slightly smaller babies than inactive women. Unfortunately, there is no evidence to suggest that labour will be easier, although in theory a better level of fitness would be beneficial during the labour period. Beginning exercise during pregnancy has proved to be of benefit if done correctly.
Exercise also has protective effects, helping to reduce the risk of pregnancytriggered illnesses such as gestational diabetes and pre-eclampsia. The reduced risk of gestational diabetes is achieved through the increased use of blood sugars (glucose) and the resultant increase in insulin sensitivity.
Women that engage in exercise during pregnancy are reported to be half as likely to suffer from this condition.
Yes. Lots of information is available detailing the risks, contraindications and dangers. An informed and commonsense approach is usually enough to avoid any issues, but speaking with a GP or midwife is always recommended as they need to be aware of anything which could change your health status for the better, or for the worse.
As a pregnancy develops, increased weight, altered balance and hormonal changes will increase the risk of musculoskeletal injury. This can be avoided by a change in training to include lowerimpact activities and utilising supports when necessary. The pelvic support belts are very helpful for lower spine and pelvic pain. During pregnancy, joints – including those of the pelvis – become unstable as their supporting ligaments relax under the influence of an aptly named hormone called relaxin. Low blood pressure can also pose a problem for pregnant women. Both standing and lying down can cause reduced blood pressure (hypotension). When lying down flat, the uterus can compress the large blood vessels and reduce blood flow.
Despite what you may have read or heard from fitness experts, there is no one recommended exercise to benefit all pregnant women. Women should continue to do the exercise they enjoy as long as it doesn't cause discomfort or the onset of any concerning symptoms. There are many common (and less common) reasons why women cease exercise during pregnancy, these should be discussed with a GP or midwife. Contact and potential collision or impact sports such as jump-based activities should be avoided for obvious reasons but running can be continued with modifications as required. It may be advisable to switch to water-based activities later in the pregnancy, which will take away any impact related stresses.
Core stability is very important during pregnancy because of the increased weight and general weakening of the supportive muscles. Diastasis of the abdominal muscles refers to the separation of the main abdominal muscle to allow for expansion. This returns to normal following pregnancy, but any activity that causes a bulging of the abdomen, such as sit-ups, should be avoided. Simple pelvic floor and transverses abdominal training can be performed on a regular basis. Your GP or midwife will have a good knowledge of these.
Weight training should favour higher repetitions and lower weights, accompanied by a good breathing technique to avoid the build-up of internal pressure. Breathholding should be avoided.
Altitudes above 10,000 feet (3000 metres) are known to cause an increase in the likelihood of complications and should therefore be avoided. There have been no reported complications at lower altitudes.
After a normal delivery, the answer is yes. Care should be taken though for a few weeks as the body takes its time to return to normal as hormones, posture and balance readjust themselves. Extra care should be taken after a caesarean section and strenuous activity should be avoided for the first six weeks. Pelvic floor muscle-strengthening is important following both types of delivery. Adequate fluid and energy intake remains important, especially for lactating women. A supportive bra may also be required, depending on your choice of activity.
Exercise and training are often an important part of an athlete's identity and any sudden change to this can be detrimental to their well-being. Some well-known athletes have continued to train hard and even compete while pregnant, but this is not normally recommended and individual circumstance and health status should be considered alongside the ability to regularly monitor the vital health markers of both the mother and foetus. The maintenance of a comfortable and healthy pregnancy should take absolute precedent over any competitive or training objectives.
Stop exercise if you experience any of the following:
» Dizziness
» Headache
» Chest pain
» Vaginal bleeding
» Weakness
» Calf pain
» Fluid leakage
» Contractions
» Decreased foetal movement

You�ve got to hand it to the members of the Justice League. After all, how many grown adults can get away with wearing their underpants on the outside? Given their powers, however, one would think that superheroes should be able to get away with a lot more. That�s exactly what happens in the fighting game �Injustice: Gods Among Us,� which explores the age old question posed by comic book nerds, �What would happen if Superman turns evil?� Bad things, that�s what.
Developed by the same studio that worked on the well-received 2011 Mortal Kombat game, Injustice serves up a solid fighting system that stands out due to its heavy emphasis on environmental destruction. For starters, you can pick up items or use background hazards to inflict undue pain on your opponents. In certain stages, you can also use a souped-up love tap to send opponents flying clear across another part of the map. It�s quite a fitting calling card for a game that deals mostly with metahumans. The fact that the regular combat itself is pretty solid adds to the game�s enjoyment. Local and online multiplayer combined with objective-based modes such as Battle and S.T.A.R. LABS also provide extra replay value. Wii U players also can play off-TV on their tablet controllers.
Issues include some visual quirks and long loading times. Folks more used to Japanese-style fighters may not warm up to this, too. A fleshed-out story and solid gameplay, however, make this worth a look for fighting game fans.

Another earphone review, Jason? Yes, I know, I�ve been getting a lot of these.
The good news is that the last crop of earphones I�ve gotten are making me reassess my opinions on earbud-style headphones, particularly in terms of fit. The Jabra Vox is certainly one earphone that got on my good side. The first thing I noticed is that build quality is quite good. The Vox feels pretty solid and also sports a nice design. These include extended nubs that help the earphones stay in place in your ears. The lower half of its cord also uses a squared rubber cover that helps prevent tangling. For folks who use an iOS device such as an iPhone, the Vox comes with a remote for adjusting volume, skipping tracks and answering phone calls.
Soundwise, the Vox provides a solid audio experience with a good amount of bass that does not overpower the mids and the highs. It also comes with a download code for the Jabra music app, which supports Dolby Digital Plus. The sound is fine using the stock iOS music player but using it with an equalizer is when it the sound truly shines.
The remote�s design is a bit finicky, especially when trying to skip forward or backward. The top half also uses regular rubber cords, which are prone to tangling. Then there�s the price tag, which is a bit high for some folks. Overall, though, the Jabra Vox provides a good audio experience for earbud lovers.
Cost: $99.99
Being the resident tech guy is nice and all. If there�s one issue about being a heavy gadget user, however, it�s the fact that certain areas of my house and workspace look like a nest of vipers. I got black cords, white cords and even red cords. I also have thin cords, thick cords and thicker-than-thick cords. All these combine into one tangled mess that make it seem like I have rubber gorgons slithering just inches away from me.
As a result, one can say that I have an acute interest in cord organizers. One such organizer is the Mini Cable Turtle.
Sporting a look that makes me pine for bagels for some reason, the Mini Cable Turtle attempts to provide the same cord crunching goodness its bigger brother delivers in a more compact size. This makes it perfect for taking with you on the go to organize portable accoutrements such as headphone cables, charging cords and USB cables. Despite its diminutive size, the Mini Cable Turtle can handle some pretty chunky cords. It�s also easy to use � you just open it up, wrap around your cord and then fold it in to hide your wiring.
Although the small size makes it quite portable, it also limits the number of cords you can spool around it. This makes it not ideal for organizing multiple cords that have a lot of length. You also can�t easily unspool it if you simply want to lengthen your wrapped cord just a bit.
Cost: $4.99

Led by women's basketball, Eastern ties its best-ever finish in the women's all-sports trophy competition
Click here for the BSC release and complete All-Sports Trophy standings
The Eastern Washington University women landed among the top three schools in the Big Sky Conference in the 2009-10 All-Sports Trophy standings. The Eagles garnered 75.5 total points, finishing just behind Montana (76.0) and the 2010 BSC All-Sports Trophy winner Sacramento State (88).
Points for the All-Sports Trophy are determined based on a team's finish in the regular-season standings for soccer, volleyball, men's and women's tennis, men's and women's basketball and football, while additional points are awarded based on a team's finish at the Big Sky Championship in men's and women's cross country, men's and women's indoor and outdoor track and field, and golf.
After capturing the regular-season title for the first time in school history, the EWU women's basketball team earned the most points possible for a given sport at 24. The Eagles' 12-4 conference record in 2010 marked the best season not only in head coach Wendy Schuller's nine-year tenure, but the best since the Eagles joined the Big Sky Conference in 1987.
The EWU volleyball and women's soccer teams also made significant contributions, tallying 19.5 and 13 points, respectively. The soccer team was the 2010 BSC regular-season runner up, while volleyball tied for second in the league race.
On the men's side, EWU collected 47 total points to finish sixth in the final All-Sports Trophy standings. The football team was the highest point earner for Eastern, as it tied for second with Weber State, collecting 19.5 points. The men's track team added seven points to EWU's total after finishing fourth at the outdoor BSC championship.
Combined, the Eagles claimed the No. 4 spot in the overall athletic point standings with 135.5 total points and an 8.75 point average per sport.
The men's and women's overall athletic points are just two of the five criteria used to determine a winner of the Sterling Savings Presidents' Cup, an annual award that recognizes a combination of academic and athletic achievements of student-athletes. Other established criteria include team grade point averages, graduation rates and number of all-conference performers with a grade point average above 3.0.
The winner of the 2010 President's Cup will be announced in July after spring grades are finalized. As of April 30, EWU was in fourth place behind Sacramento State, Northern Arizona and Montana.

|Purification of food-grade oligosaccharides using immobilised cells of Zymomonas mobilis.
MedLine Citation:
|PMID: 11935179 Owner: NLM Status: MEDLINE
|Immobilised cells of the bacterium Zymomonas mobilis were used to remove glucose, fructose, and sucrose from food-grade oligosaccharide mixtures. Unpurified fructo-, malto-, isomalto-, gentio-, and inulinoligosaccharides, containing total carbohydrate concentrations of 300 g l(-1), were added to immobilised cells, in 100 ml batch reactors. No pH control or nutrient additions were required. Contaminating glucose, fructose, and sucrose within the mixtures was completely fermented within 12 h. The fermentation end products were ethanol and carbon dioxide. A minor amount of sorbitol was also produced as a fermentation by-product in the inulin-oligosaccharide mixture. No degradation of the oligosaccharides in the mixtures was observed.

Everyone who sees the three-wheeled car wonders what the Elio Motors safety record will look like once the car is in production. The upstart automaker discussed exactly that topic in a recent e-mail.
The e-mail said the unconventional, 84 MPG, $6,800 tandem two-seat commuter machine is expected to earn a five-star crash test rating from NHTSA. That's not news. What is news is the level of detail shared about Elio Motors safety planning:
knowing that a vehicle is only as safe as scientifically demonstrated during collision testing, Elio Motors is going to follow a similar process to other OEM's. One where tests are conducted approximately six months after the vehicle reaches the market. (click on pictures to be linked to Elio – The Science of Safety video)
In such a process, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) will around this time-frame purchase a vehicle from "the lot" unannounced to ensure that it is representative of the Elio production vehicle and will then place it through a series of crash tests. Such tests serve as a means to provide consumers with information about the crash protection and rollover safety of a new vehicle beyond what is required by statute.
Prior to these tests being completed by NHTSA, the Elio will be deemed "safe" well in advance to the results being known and before the vehicle even hits the streets. This is because Elio Motors will conduct the same engineering simulations and crash tests by a third party test facility prior to the official testing.
Additionally, the Elio Motors supplier partner teams remain focused on achieving the 5-Star Safety Rating objective by:
- Selecting the Elio Motors safety supplier partner that manufactures the parts utilized in the majority of vehicle makers today. And, who also just so happens to have engineered the precision of safety products to the millisecond for over 70 years.
- Incorporating an Elio Safety Management System of vehicle dynamics, seat belts, three airbags, reinforced high strength steel roll cage with side intrusion beams, ABS, stability control and crush zones for the front and back.
Together, through each engineering decision and crash test Elio Motors and team engages in, we will continue to strive towards the highest standards of excellence in safety.
One has to wonder how mass will factor into the safety equation. The Elio stands to be just about the smallest car to hit our streets since the Smart ForTwo. I shudder to think what an Elio-vs-half-ton truck crash would look like. I'm also very curious how the Elio, which is about half the width of a normal car because of its tandem seating arrangement, will fare in side-impact crash testing.

King County forgoes crackdown on medical marijuana
July 26, 2011
By Warren Kagarise
King County is adopting a more laissez-faire approach to medical-marijuana operations as Issaquah, Sammamish and other cities tighten rules for patient-run collective gardens and other operations.
Issaquah City Council members upheld a six-month moratorium on medical marijuana collective gardens July 18 — the same day the council in neighboring Sammamish enacted a similar moratorium. Federal Way, Kent, North Bend and other cities also clamped down on medical-marijuana operations.
King County Executive Dow Constantine, however, does not intend to propose legislation to address the issue in rural and unincorporated areas.
"At this time, the executive does not plan to propose any new regulations governing dispensaries in unincorporated areas of the county," said Frank Abe, a spokesman for the executive.
The decision means medical-marijuana operations in unincorporated areas, such as The Kind Alternative Medical Collective, a nonprofit collective in Preston, can continue operations unaffected.
In the meantime, county officials plan to reach out to residents in unincorporated areas to address concerns.
"The King County executive, prosecutor and sheriff will continue to work with unincorporated area communities and other local jurisdictions to protect public health and safety, and monitor issues that evolve under the new state law," Abe said.
Initiative 692, passed in 1998, allows people suffering from certain medical conditions to possess a 60-day supply of marijuana. Marijuana, for medical purposes or otherwise, remains illegal under federal law.
King County Prosecutor Dan Satterberg does not prosecute "legitimate patients who qualify under the law if they reasonably adhere to the dictates of the statute" — a policy the prosecutor's office adopted in October 2008, not long after the state Department of Health clarified possession rules for medical marijuana users.
County prosecutors continue to pursue marijuana cases related to the criminal drug trade.
State lawmakers attempted to legalize and regulate marijuana dispensaries and farms, but Gov. Chris Gregoire vetoed measures to legalize such operations, and the truncated law took effect July 22.
Under the state law, up to 10 qualifying patients can join together and form a collective garden of up to 45 plants, so long as the marijuana is not visible from public spaces.
In unincorporated areas, "King County government will continue, as it has since the enactment of Initiative 692, to protect public health and safety through existing laws and regulations," Abe said.

1631: The story of Taj Mahal reflects the intensity of love. Mumtaz Mahal was a rare found combination of beauty and brain. She was Shah Jahan's (her husband) best friend and confidante. Some 2 to 3 million visitors come to the Taj Mahal annually, and nearly a quarter million arrive from overseas. All of them come with love and respect in their hearts for Shah Jahan. And many more girls envy Mumtaz Mahal for her glory and such loving husband. But one cannot omit the first three letters 'Mum' from her name to derive the remainder as the name for the building. Very Few people are aware of the fact that Mumtaz Mahal passed away as she was not provided with hygiene medication while giving birth to her 14th child. We see Taj Mahal as a tribute to their love but nobody ever knew that it was a tribute to motherhood too. Are we really learning any lessons from our past? Did Shah Jahan or any other emperor ever gave a thought on the matter that if they love their wives so much then how can they improve the childbirth hygiene so that no other Mumtaz Mahal succumbs to death while bringing a new life to this world.In 1631, there were not many facilities in our country. There were no medications, no awareness and no facilities. Although, hygiene could be maintained but still I would accept the fact that because of absence of facilities a legendary beauty left the world. We are living in 21st Century now. India is developing at a very high rate. Every year lakhs of doctors graduate from medical colleges. Definitely the situation must be so much better today. Let's have a small look on the statistics in 21st Century India.
2011: Having said that, now imagine bringing a baby into this world on a table stained and infected. That's the experience of lakhs of poor women across India. It's a miracle that so many of them make it out alive. Let me take you to one such government hospital in Madhya Pradesh, a state with one of the worst maternal mortality statistics.22 yr old Sheena rushed to the nearest hospital with her husband as soon as she had labor pains. Her Husband was running from one corner to another in the hospital just to get attention of any doctor or even a nurse. But, to his misfortune everybody kept passing the case to another doctor. She went to the hospital at 4 pm and just to get a basic medical aid they had to wait for 28 hours. Yes, the doctors checked her the next day. She died while giving birth to her first child. The child could never ever get even her mother's first touch. If she was given timely attention, Sheena would have been alive. She wouldn't have dreamt even in her worst nightmare of such an end to arrival of her first baby in this world would cost her own life.
Is India not a country for Mothers?
A mother dies during child birth in India every eight minutes. For every maternal death in India, 20 more women suffer from lifelong health impairments that result from complications during their pregnancies. Worldwide an estimated five lakh woman die as a result of pregnancy each year. Approximately one quarter of all pregnancy and delivery related maternal deaths worldwide occur in India. In Uttar Pradesh (Indian State), caste discrimination is an ingrained part of the medical system, doctors and activists say."Upper-caste health workers refuse to visit Dalit communities," said Lenin Raghuvanshi, a rights activist. "Because of that pregnant Dalit women do not get (nutritional) supplements and the majority of them are anemic." It's not just mothers who died. Babies were stillborn and few of them were premature. Many of these children who survived, many are at risk without their mothers to take care of them.
Why Do Mother's Die:
According to WHO,the major complications that account for 80% of all maternal deaths are: • Severe bleeding (mostly bleeding after childbirth) • Infections (usually after childbirth) • High blood pressure during pregnancy (pre-eclampsia and eclampsia) • Unsafe abortion.
There are 3 major reasons/delays for which even a well-educated mother is succumbed to death during child birth. If taken care of below delays caused, 90% of deaths can be avoided.
The First Delay: Pregnant mothers or their families often fail to recognize and seek medical help quickly enough, when a pregnancy related complication happens. This is due to illiteracy, not just in the family but also in the community that does not have adequate education or access to the right information necessary to spot the early warning signs. Women might also use ineffective home remedies due to traditional myths.
The Second Delay: Many mothers die at home or on their way to hospital due to lack of preparedness for any complication, lack of access to transportation or because they were referred from one hospital to another. The incidents of mothers dying because they cannot get to the right hospital at the right time is high because more than half of the child births in India still happen at home, and in most cases a skilled attendant or midwife is not available.
The Third Delay: Even if a mother gets to a hospital in time, there is no guarantee that her life is safe. The third delay happens when the right medical facilities, trained professionals, medicines and other critical inputs like blood are not available.The health care service system in India consists of three tiers. The facilities available, the expertise level of health care workers and quality of care differs widely at each level because of the lack of standards. For example, according to the National Family Health Survey II, less than 30 % community health centers had an obstetrician available; less than 10 % had an anesthetist.Many rural and low income urban families first go to either a private nursing home or a primary health care facility. These centers are not equipped to handle complications that arise during a delivery. Some of them do not have access to basic services like a blood bank. The poorly trained medical staff takes a long time to recognize complications that occur during labour or immediately after birth.
The Solution: Reduction of the first and second delays involves increasing "Birth Preparedness and Complication Readiness" by planning interventions at the community level including raising awareness of danger signs and improving access to information, communication and transportation. The best and most cost-effective strategy for reducing third delay and also maternal mortality is to provide Emergency Obstetric Care (EmOC) services within the reach of all pregnant women.
Take action! This post was submitted in response to eMagazine: Maternal Health .
I can only say that we still have a long way to go, and if we sit back and pass the buck to someone else, we will remain at the same place forever. We need to keep raising our voices so that if our governments are deaf, then other women in this forum are gonna help us make enough noise to raise such a racket that the powers that be will not only take notice but action too!
