You've probably seen TV shows where someone is in the hospital and he "codes." Doctors and nurses come running and try to save the patient — sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't.
"Code Blues," as they're called, happen in real life too. A code blue is a term used by hospital staff to alert rescue personnel that a patient's heart has stopped. Only in real life, doctors and nurses at Botsford Hospital are trained to prevent a code blue in the first place, greatly increasing a person's chances of survival.
How is a code blue prevented?
Doctors and nurses are trained to recognize even the most subtle signs of decline in a patient. The earlier a decline can be recognized, the sooner intervention can be made and the more likely a patient can avoid more serious outcomes such as a code blue or organ failure. If something looks amiss, a highly specialized team of critical care-trained nurses and respiratory therapists are called to assess the patient.
Enter the BRAT (Botsford Rapid Assessment Team)
Within minutes, the team arrives with advanced critical care equipment and is able to determine whether intervention is necessary. The patient's doctor is summoned when appropriate and the entire team takes steps to prevent further decline such as a code blue.
What does it mean to have the BRAT?
Having the rapid assessment team available at all times means every bed in Botsford Hospital can be quickly turned into a critical care bed as soon as the need arises. More importantly, patients may avoid the need for critical care in the first place.
For at least one Botsford patient, it also meant a second chance at life — both in and out of the hospital. "God sent an angel," he wrote in a thank you card to the team after he was was discharged. He explained that not only did the team save his life, but the fact that they cared so much and tried so hard to save him gave him the drive to get better. In his case, his nurses and the BRAT caught him in the first of three phases of sepsis, aggressively treated him and prevented him from entering more dangerous stages of sepsis, where the survival rate drops to only 10%.

Prosecutors get tough against heroin dealers, suppliers
Associated Press
With the number of heroin overdoses skyrocketing nationwide, a growing number of law enforcement agencies are dusting off strict, rarely used drug laws, changing investigatory techniques and relying on technology to prosecute drug dealers for causing overdose deaths.
The aggressive change in tactics comes as more people turn to heroin because of crackdowns on powerful prescription opiate painkillers that make them more expensive and inaccessible. The popular prescription drug OxyContin has also been reformulated to make it difficult to crush and snort, making it less desirable on the street, law enforcement officials said.
Nationwide, the number of people who said they have used heroin in the past year skyrocketed by 66 percent between 2007 and 2011, according to the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration. The number of people who died of overdoses and had heroin present in their system jumped 55 percent from 2000 to 2010, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
Rather than going after lower-level users of heroin, prosecutors are looking to take out dealers and members of the supply chain by connecting them and the drugs they sold to overdose deaths and charging them with laws that carry stiff penalties.
"We're going to be ruthless," said prosecutor Joseph Coronato of Ocean County, N.J., where 75 overdose deaths have occurred this year. "We're looking for long-term prison sentences."
Coronato and other New Jersey prosecutors are employing the state's little-used "strict liability for drug death" statute, a first-degree crime that holds dealers and producers responsible for a user's death and has a 20-year maximum sentence.
The USERS are the problem. They are not "victims", they are the root cause. They supply the money. They are the worthless drag on society that we need to be rid of.
As long as there is a market, there will be a supply.

What a Coincidence: 20% of Latest Batch of Obamacare Waivers are for Restaurants/Hotels in Nancy Pelosi's District
Last Friday, 221 new Obamacare waivers were handed out. One out of every five of them went to the district of Nancy Pelosi — one of the biggest proponents of how totally awesome and affordable the new health care law would be.
From the Daily Caller:
Of the 204 new Obamacare waivers President Barack Obama's administration approved in April, 38 are for fancy eateries, hip nightclubs and decadent hotels in House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi's Northern California district.
That's in addition to the 27 new waivers for health care or drug companies and the 31 new union waivers Obama's Department of Health and Human Services approved.
Pelosi's district secured almost 20 percent of the latest issuance of waivers nationwide, and the companies that won them didn't have much in common with companies throughout the rest of the country that have received Obamacare waivers.
That might as well say, "SF waiver recipients were hand-picked by Queen Nancy herself!"
Let this be a lesson heading into 2012: If you don't want laws the Democrats have passed to destroy your business, donate money to Democrats and you might get an exemption.
Pelosi and her husband are invested in a high-end restaurant chain in California called Ristorante Piatti. I haven't been able to find a waiver connection to them though. Nancy wouldn't be that ballsy, would she?

This is a book about travel in the southern Caribbean and the way I saw it through the lens of my camera. It is about photography inspiration but not a how-to book on the workings of the camera. There are to many of those. I think it would be fair to call it a coffee table book. Please take a little vacation with this book. Enjoy it.
Erich G Bruckner.
What I love about my jobs is that I get to really help people in both and in the second job I also get to travel all over the world. I also love to make or create things. Photography is one of my long term passions along with wood working and travel to name a few.

I am unsure how to approach this problem:
Consider a random variable, X. Our hypothesis is that X~N(0,1) or X is standard normal distribution.
If we observe that X = 2.2. What is the likelihood of this hypothesis. Would the hypothesis be rejeted if we wanted to maintain a specificity of .95?
Thanks, RH

"I will be talking about doomsday in Washington, D.C., on Wednesday," he says. Krauss recently joined the board of directors of the Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists, who have been warning for decades about the dangers of nuclear war, and who have recently added a new worldwide threat to their agenda: global warming. That's why Krauss slipped that greenhouse-effect reference into his Orchestra introduction. At a recent Bulletin meeting, he learned that scientists' best indicators show the Earth is 10 years away from a point of no return. If we act now to reduce our carbon emissions, we can stop the rise in global temperatures by about one degree — but if current trends continue, climate change will be unstoppable, he says: "We'll have a different planet."Today, though, Krauss is here to talk about his area of greatest expertise: the universe. His PowerPoint throws an old photo of a giant telescope onto the screen behind him. At the foot of the telescope stands a distinguished-looking man, peering into the eyepiece, smoking a pipe. He "gives me inspiration and hope, which I often need lately," Krauss says. The man is Edwin Hubble, the namesake of NASA's orbiting Hubble Space Telescope, and the astronomer who discovered in 1929 that there are other galaxies besides ours, and they are all moving away from each other. Our knowledge of the universe has grown, Krauss says, from Hubble's discovery in 1929 to new breakthroughs of just a few years ago — breakthroughs in which Krauss himself has played a part.After Hubble, he says, "The central question in cosmology became, what's the future going to be? Is everything going to keep expanding and moving apart, and the universe becoming cold and dark? Or is it going to collapse in a fiery reversal of the Big Bang? Are we going to end in fire or ice?" That, he says, is why he got into cosmology. "I wanted to be the first to know how the universe would end."For the next hour, Krauss describes the greatest breakthroughs astronomers have achieved since Hubble's day. They've used supernovae — exploding stars of immense brightness — as "standard candles" to measure how far away the supernovae's galaxies are. Then they used those distances to triangulate the speed of galaxies, which led them to discover the age of the universe: "13 1/2 billion years old — except in Ohio, Alabama, Georgia and a few other places," he jokes. Around 1995, they essentially weighed the universe, calculating the mass of galaxy superclusters by measuring how they bend the light behind them. And in 1998, scientists at the South Pole mapped cosmic microwave background radiation, the afterglow of the Big Bang.The results scrambled everyone's ideas about the universe. The galaxy-cluster calculations revealed that "most of the mass of the universe doesn't shine," Krauss says. "It's dark matter." They also suggested that the universe had only 30 percent of the mass needed to make the universe closed — that is, likely to collapse someday. But the microwave radiation evidence suggested that the universe was flat, the midpoint between an open and closed universe. The contradiction led cosmologists to a mind-boggling conclusion: There's energy in empty space — dark energy, scientists call it. "This will win the Nobel Prize. It shocked everyone," Krauss says. "The biggest energy in the universe comes from nothing, comes from empty space, and it's causing the expansion of the universe to speed up."That may seem nonsensical, but the theories of relativity and quantum mechanics say it's possible, he says. So the old rules about how the universe behaves are gone. "The whole reason I got into cosmology, which was to determine the end of the universe by measuring the total amount of matter there was? Out the window."Instead, Krauss has contributed to the changes in cosmology. He was one of the few who wrote about the possibility that dark energy existed before the convincing evidence was calculated in the mid-1990s — one of the things that made Krauss a leader in his field.Krauss tells the crowd that the implications of a rapidly expanding universe are dire, in the very long run. If the expansion is speeding up, he says, other galaxies will eventually move away from us faster than the speed of light — which is allowed in general relativity. A hundred billion years from now, when astronomers look through their telescopes, "the rest of the universe will have disappeared." That means "life must end," Krauss says. Those isolated astronomers will be stranded, without energy or escape, when their own star burns out — an end in ice, not fire.
Krauss' own future, though, looks as bright as a young star. "What I'm looking for is a bigger platform to have an impact around the world in the areas I'm working in." That might be at Case, or it might be elsewhere. He's talking about founding an organization called the Origins Institute involving Case and University Circle museums. It'd combine physics, astronomy, geology, genetics and psychology to "explore the origins of the universe, the solar system, human cognition and genetic origins." Every year, says Krauss' friend Cyrus Taylor, "stellar institutions around the country and internationally have tried to lure him away." With Case's budget problems not totally solved yet, Krauss is listening more seriously this year. "There are various other possibilities," Krauss says, "from leading a research institute, or maybe [staying] at Vanderbilt, or an administrative position, from dean to vice president for research at various universities." Krauss says he's happy with Case's new president and new deans, but he's waiting to see how much Case can afford to contribute to his projects. "The key question is, has the university been so hampered that my own activities will be constrained enough for the near future that I really can't function effectively?" Krauss' career and fame may be growing, yet his own outlook for the country and world's future is tinged with disillusionment. And cosmology's outlook, seen one way, is darker still. In his work, Krauss is confronted, more than the rest of us, with the fact that the sun will die someday, that life on Earth will die with it, that the latest theory forecasts the universe ending in frozen darkness. Yet to Krauss, the knowledge of the universe's fate and our tiny place in it isn't depressing — it's fascinating, even inspiring."The fact we're insignificant does not make us any less remarkable," Krauss says. "It may make us more remarkable. The fact that we're here is such an amazing accident. The fact that we have this brief moment in the sun means we should make the most of it. The fact that we're conscious and aware beings, and the universe largely doesn't have that, is such a special opportunity that we should make the most of our minds." n

Welcome back to Wentworth!
- 74
Mon 19th May, 2014 in Local News
Season two of Aussie women's prison drama Wentworth starts this week, and promises to again be a hotbed of drama, intrigue, violence… and lesbian sex.
The first episode of the new season will feature the arrival of Pamela Rabe as scary screw Joan Ferguson. Fans of the 1980s version Prisoner Cell Block H will know she lived up to her nickname… 'The Freak'.
She's showcased in the exciting teaser clip for the new season – but you can call her "Governor"! Watch it below.
In the original version of the show, Joan Ferguson, played by Maggie Kirkpatrick, was a smart but sadistic lesbian who was famed for her controversial 'frisk' search of the inmates. It'll be interesting to see if the 21th century Freak has similar tastes.
One thing's for sure though, lesbian passion won't be far off the agenda. Last year's finale episode saw Wentworth inmate Franky Doyle (Nicole da Silva) and Governor Erica Davidson (Leeanna Walsman) give in to a passionate clinch, shown below.
It looks like Erica won't return for season two, so who will Franky set her sights on next?
Wentworth season one is now available on DVD, and season two begins 8:30pm this Tueaday May 20 on Foxtel's SoHo channel.

LOS ANGELES (LALATE) – The "Ryan Seacrest Queen of Bravo Competition, Favorite Housewife" headed into the round two results today, Seacrest told news. Some Housewives franchises learned that their entire cast advanced to the second round of the reality show "competition." While viewers are still wondering what did Brandi say about Adrienne Maloof's family, they did not chose to advance Maloof to the second round along with several other Beverly Hills Housewives.
Vicki Gunvalson has allot to go "woo hoo" about today. Vicki Gunvalson's break up with Brooks Ayers has dominated news since the end of last season of RHOA. But Vicki, Tamra Barney, Gretchen Rossi and Heather Dubrow all advanced in the annual competition. All Real Housewives of Orange County returning full cast members inked spots into the second round of Seacrest's battle.
But Miss USA turned Detroit Barbie tells news that she is ready to fight back. In fact, the entire Real Housewives of Atlanta crew with Kenya Moore twirled into round two, including Phaedra Parks, NeNe Leakes, Porsha Stewart, Kandi Burruss, Cynthia Bailey and former housewife Kim Zolciak.
The entire New Jersey cast advanced as well, Seacrest told news. But some housewives from New York, Beverly Hills and Miami were eliminated in the first round.
Seacrest has yet to indicate to news how the competition's structure will progress. Is this the "group stage" of his competition, much like the structure of soccer's English FA Cup meets Lisa Vanderpump's tea party, or is there a live Hollywood round coming up next? Will there be quarterfinals, semifinals and a final round like a Bravo World Cup of Pinot Grigio? That remains to be seen. No word what the winner gets either, but perhaps Seacrest has planned some Diamond Water and GG hair extensions for the popular housewife HERE.

James made Cyrus be honest about his sexuality, talked him into having a baby, hustled his way into being press secretary and turned his back on his husband to snitch on him under the alias Publius. And now he's been killed. Shocking as it may be, are gladiators going to miss him the way they would with other characters?
Sometimes a character gets killed on a show and cast members have to walk around defending themselves for months. Need an example? Ask anybody from the cast of "The Wire" about how people reacted to Russell "Stringer" Bell being killed -- especially Michael K. Williams or Michael Potts. Or even mention it to the writer/producer David Simon.
Just like Stringer Bell, James refused to play the game. Anytime Cyrus was dishonest -- manipulating the presidential election, lying about Sally killing her husband -- James was the good samaritan who wanted to expose the truth. Too bad he didn't know enough about B13 to figure out, as Jake said, "Bad things happen to good people all the time."
Any chance of denial that Jake wasn't really dead went down the drain when Jake stood over him until he breathed his last breath. This makes Team Jake have to defend the man that much harder, by the way.
Cyrus almost busting a blood vessel on every episode is entertaining enough, and although Jake compliments his character, Cyrus is good on his own.
But for the gladiators who'll really miss seeing Dan Bucatinsky, check him out on a rumored NBC project "Marry Me" and a confirmed upcoming TV movie "Show & Tell."

Dvd Release Date: 2007-06-05
Genre: Documentary,
Rating: PG-13
Duration: 54min
Baghdad , September 2003: In a middle-class house on a quiet street, a family is fast asleep. Without warning, the front door is crashed and American soldiers storm the house looking for weapons and bomb-making material. Cameraman Michael Tucker documents the event as the men in the house are cuffed and forced to kneel in the garden. A search of the house uncovers no incriminating evidence, however Yunis Khatayer Abbas and three of his brothers are taken and detained. Bent on forcing Yunis to confess to crimes he did not commit, his captors press him with bizarre questions about music tastes, sexual preferences and Harrison Ford. His intelligence value exhausted, he is then transferred to Abu Ghraib Prison. The charge: planning the ssassination of Tony Blair. Yunis endures by helping his fellow prisoners and keeping a secret diary. He also forges an unlikely friendship with one of his guards, who he calls "The Good Soldier." Combining Tucker's embedded footage, Yunis' home movies, testimony from former guard Benjamin Thompson and original comic book art, the film traces the moving story of an ordinary man trapped in a Kafkaesque nightmare. Unique in its presentation and unlikely in its very existence, "The Prisoner Or How I Planned to Kill Tony Blair" details an absurd comedy of errors where one freedom-loving Iraqi journalist learns the true meaning of liberation.

"Catch me if you can," taunted 27-year-old Alberto Rodriguez to Texas police. And they did. The video above, posted before Rodriguez was caught, shows just how dangerous his actions were.
The lunatic biker, who posted a Facebook video of himself outrageously speeding through traffic on Interstate 35 in Texas at speeds in excess of 150 mph, has been nabbed by police, reports Fox News on Tuesday.
The arrogant speed demon was arrested Monday while sneaking out of a friend's house near the Salado Creek Greenway in San Antonio's north-east side. Rodriguez had at least three outstanding arrest warrants, and was wanted in connection with a stolen motorcycle.
Rodriguez had posted incriminating video of himself, biking at high speeds through rush hour traffic in San Antonio. The smug offender was evidently as reckless online as he was on the road. The video, which Rodriguez jeeringly titled "Catch Me If You Can," ultimately led to his arrest.
"When we pulled up on the house, our man ran out the back door and was hiding behind an air-conditioning unit," San Antonio Police Chief William McManus said.
In May of last year, Rodriguez posted his helmet cam video to Facebook, where it received tens of thousands of views. According to ABC News, it also caught the attention of San Antonio police, who began tracking Rodriguez in February after a member of the public posted his video on the San Antonio Police's Facebook page.
McManus told Fox News that the video was "one of the most insanely dangerous things that I have ever seen… He brought this on himself. He brought attention to himself."
Thankfully, Rodriguez and his broad-daylight thrill ride at terrifying speeds has come to a halt.
According to the San Antonio Facebook page, the "stolen motorcycle was recovered," and Rodriguez now "faces his currently outstanding felony warrants, a misdemeanor assault warrant, a possibly charges in connection with the stolen motorcycle."
Sergeant Javier Salazar of the San Antonio police said Rodriguez's reckless behavior on the road could have easily led to tragic consequences.
"Really all it would have taken was a split second for him to impact the lives of several people possibly killing someone by his very actions," Salazar said.

The Davis Cup by BNP Paribas World Group first round tie between Italy and Croatia has been moved to a bigger venue in Turin.
The Federazione Italiana Tennis has decided to move its clash with the 2005 Davis Cup champions to the Palavela, which holds 2,500 more spectators than the previous location – the Palaruffini.
Originally built for the Italia '61 Exposition, the Palavela was given a facelift for the figure skating and short track speed skating events at the 2006 Winter Olympic Games. The venue tends to host more winter sports but has held various basketball events, including the 2008-09 Eurocup.
The Palavela also has iconic film status, after three Minis drove over its distinctive roof in the 1969 movie The Italian Job.
Italy and Croatia have met on two previous occasions, with the latter coming out on top both times despite the encounters being close-fought affairs. The most recent match-up came in 2008 when Mario Ancic defeated Simone Bolelli in the decisive fifth rubber.
Italy kept their place in the World Group after Andreas Seppi led them to victory over Chile in September's play-offs with a little help from Fabio Fognini. The Italians might have a proud history in the competition but they have not won a World Group tie since 1998 when they went all the way to the final.
Croatia will be competing in the World Group for the fifth straight year and looking to build on their run to the quarterfinals in 2012, when they were defeated by Argentina at Parque Roca. The tie in Italy will mark their fourth consecutive away trip having won on the road against South Africa and Japan before the loss in Buenos Aires.

Posted on Wednesday, January 4th, 2012
This week's pet of the week article was shared with us by one of our Facebook fans. Take a look at what he has to say about four of his favorite pals!
"I have had animals all my life, dogs and cats. My dogs were always my best buddies, playmates and protectors as a kid and as I have become older they are my children, my confidants, my comfort and sanity on many days. Three of our babies were rescued and one was bought as a puppy. Our big boy, Durango, is a ten-year- old chocolate lab; our five-year-old Lhasa Apso is Jester; our four-year- old Pekingese is Bonsai (even though he is the smallest, he is the BOSS around here), and then we have our four-year-old, Champ, who is a shepherd/collie mix.
There are many days when I look at my boys and think I was the one rescued by them, not the other way around. I was diagnosed this past March with Multiple Sclerosis and I have had five spinal surgeries since 2003. All the medications I am on cannot give me the peace that and comfort that our fur-boys give every day, every second, every minute. I could live forever and not be able to return the love they give to me and others.
Each one has their own personality, and just like children they can make you laugh and smile at the simplest things they do. I love at bedtime when all you have to do is say, "Champ, let's go to bed," and no matter where he is in a flash he is headed down the hall to the bedroom and he beats us onto the bed. I wish more people had the hearts of dogs; life would be a lot simpler and happier. They all loved their Christmas gifts from Santa "Hartz" – we bought a bag of Hartz pig ears for our lab, and he doesn't and never has liked to play… or retrieve! I think he was just tied up outside and ignored before we adopted him. If you don't have the time and you aren't going to love these pups back then please don't own a dog, that's how I have always felt. All four of them have been blessings to me and my family because they are family too!
P.S. It's been three days since the boys got their Hartz toys and they all still have their squeakers despite Jester's dogged determination! The longest lasting squeaker until now was less than 12 hours."

Set in what is commonly perceived as a simpler time, A Reliable Wife, Robert Goolrick's debut novel, follows the lives of two very misguided and confused people trying to find love and comfort during the industrial revolution. Ralph Truitt is a rich and powerful man who has inherited a vast fortune from his father's railroad empire, yet in gaining this success he had to leave behind a life of excess, debauchery, and frivolity. As a solution to the loneliness of a failed marriage and the death of his young daughter, Ralph decides to post a personal ad in the surrounding cities to find a suitable wife. In response, Catherine Land sees this as her opportunity to a life she has never been afforded. Raised on the streets and caring for her younger sister, Catherine turned to prostitution and drugs to provide the basic necessities of life to her sister.
However, as the novel progresses the reader quickly learns that the experiences of these two characters have grossly misled them to believing that sex equals love. So, while Truitt is uncertain about Catherine in the beginning of the story, he accepts a love for her that is merely based on their close proximity to one another. Additionally, Catherine feels Truitt is a means to an end. She has desperately hoped for a meaningful and loving relationship, but Truitt will do as long as he is as rich as he claims.
It becomes quite apparent to the reader that even as sex is a dominating factor of this story, almost having the presence of another character, its not-so-subtle interjection into every thought and feeling can only be described as truly depressing. Deluded into believing that just the physical contact of a person, any person, constitutes love, all of the major characters are overwhelmed with deep-seated psychological issues. The only two people in the tale who don't appear to be all-consumed with sex are the servants that Truitt employs, who seem to be the only people actually in a relatively normal relationship. But, even that is short lived when the husband goes crazy and cuts off his own hand.
There are few redeeming qualities to these main characters. Even as their sad stories are revealed, their obsessions and absorptions with sex ultimately distracts from much of the sympathy a reader may feel towards them. To be sure, they all live in a superficial world where sex and objects seem to provide true happiness. However, the story could have been much more powerful had the sex scenes not been so prevalent. Extremely well-written to begin with, the integrity and message of A Reliable Wife would have remained intact, if not become more powerful, minus the lurid details.

Complete Results
The women's 4x400m relay punched their ticket to NCAAs on the final day of the NCAA Preliminary Round in Eugene, OR as they finished third in heat three to automatically advance. The Bruin team of Joy Eaton, Briana Barlow, Ashlea McLaughlin and Turquoise Thompson posted the sixth-fastest time of the day, 3:35.07.
In all, the Bruin women qualified three individuals and the 4x400m relay to the NCAA Championships, held June 8-11 in Des Moines, IA at Drake University. Heading to Iowa are McLaughlin (400m), Turquoise Thompson (400m hurdles), and Ida Storm (hammer), as well as the 1600m relay.
The Bruins were in a precarious position after a rough handoff from Barlow to McLaughlin, but McLaughlin made up some ground to move UCLA into fourth-place heading into the final leg. McLaughlin handed off to Thompson who clocked a 51.26 split to anchor UCLA to a third-place finish and an automatic qualifying spot out of the heat.
Senior Lindsay Rowe finished 18th in the 100m hurdles in a time of 13.62 and does not advance to NCAAs. She ends her career at UCLA as the No. 9 high hurdler in school history (13.24) and the 2010 Pac-10 champion.
Senior Shannon Murakami finished 38th in the 5000m semifinal in a time of 17:04.05. She ends her Bruin career as the No. 8 5000m runner in UCLA history with a best of 16:28.97.
In the high jump, freshman Alexis Walker cleared opening height of 5-5, but could not get over the next bar (5-7) and does not advance to NCAAs. She finished in a tie for 24th overall. Sophomore Mariah Gibson did not clear opening height.

Owls that eat poisoned rats can be poisoned themselves. And its not limited to owls; hawks and other birds of prey are routinely poisoned and die as the result of eating rats that have ingested rat poisoning. Other birds can also be poisoned if insects eat the rat bait and the birds then eat the insects.
The chemicals in question are used by professional pest-control operators. The chemicals are anticoagulant rodenticides (ARs)-, they work by interfering with the blood's ability to clot. Studies show that the toxins accumulate in birds of prey and other animals.
We ask the Environmental Protection Agency to ban the use of anticoagulant rodenticides in the United States as new studies suggest these poisons get into the food chain and can even kill endangered species.

Pippa Middleton, the younger sister of British royal Kate Middleton, started her 3,000-mile cross-country bike race to raise money for charity.
Pippa and her younger brother, James, are part of an eight-person team participating in the Race Across America to raise money for the British Heart Foundation and for their friend James Matthews, whose brother died while descending Mount Everest in 1999.
Pippa's team will bike 3,000 miles across 12 states in eight days, she wrote on her sponsorship page. The race kicked off June 14 in San Diego and ends in Annapolis, Md., June 21.
"We are aiming to complete this non-stop challenge in eight days, riding between 350 and 500 miles a day," said Middleton.
The Middletons are both great athletes who have experience doing endurance events. In 2012, Pippa and James completed a seven-hour cross-country ski marathon in Sweden (also for charity). In 2011, Pippa completed a 50-mile duathlon in the Scottish Highlands, for which she ran 20 miles and cycled another 30 miles.
Pippa, 30, is in fantastic shape thanks to a low carb diet and rigorous boxing, Pilates, running, swimming, and circuit-training workouts. Pippa, now a celebrated fashion and beauty icon, is the author of Celebrate: A Year of Festivities for Families and Friends.
Kate's Weight Loss Secrets Are Low-Carb Diet and Circuit Training
Meanwhile, the glamorous, size-two Kate is no stranger to diet and exercise. Middleton achieved her incredible 29-pound weight loss just two months after giving birth to son George (in July 2013) with a low-carb diet, running, walking, yoga and fat-burning circuit-training workouts.
Middleton's longtime friend and former college rowing partner Emma Sayle told Life & Style the Duchess of Cambridge gained only 29 pounds and worked out and ate healthy during her pregnancy.
"Kate stayed super-fit by running and hitting the gym," said Sayle. "That helps in bouncing back. Kate loves exercise and did lots of swimming and Pilates while pregnant. It's really helped her lose weight."
The duchess, a former high-school and college athlete, is a longtime fitness fanatic who worked out an hour a day and followed a portion-controlled low-carb diet before getting pregnant.
Low carb diets promote weight loss by forcing the body to burn fat for fuel in a metabolic state called ketosis, said obesity expert Dr. Eric Westman, author of Keto Clarity.
Sources who have known Kate for years said she has always been careful to never overeat, and became even more disciplined about her diet after marrying Prince William. "She's quite figure-conscious and she's very aware that the camera adds a good 10 pounds," said a source. "She is tiny, with no hips."

College Hockey:RIT, Army, Skate To Tie
RIT Can't Convert Penalty Shot In OT
ROCHESTER, N.Y. — After a weekend of hockey, nothing was decided.
On Friday night, RIT and Army played to a 2-2 tie. Tonight, the teams once again played to a deadlock, this time 1-1.
Despite 11 power plays for Army, eight power plays for RIT, two extended two-man advantages for Army, another five-on-three for RIT, and even a penalty shot for RIT in overtime, neither team was able to force
a decision after 130 minutes of hockey. A tie seemed destined when an Army goal with 1:10 left in overtime was disallowed.
"From our standpoint, obviously we just couldn't get any pucks to the net," Army coach Brian Riley said of his team's powerplay. "We need to work on that. From the penalty killing standpoint, we had talked about this being a big challenge to us. We placed emphasis on coming up here and shutting down a good team on the power play."
"I think we lost our confidence a little bit," RIT coach Wayne Wilson said of his powerplay. "I thought as the weekend went on, we got better and better. They put good pressure on us, their guys blocked shots, the goalie played real well."
RIT immediately got into penalty trouble, which translated to immediately getting into trouble on the scoreboard. Before the game was 1:04 old, two Tigers were in the penalty box. At 1:24, Army had a 1-0 lead thanks to superb passing.
Owen Meyer fed it across the ice to the right faceoff circle to Robb Ross, who passed it back across the middle to Luke Flicek. Louis Menard overplayed Ross, and was unable to recover as Flicek had a wide open net to deposit the puck into.
RIT was back on their heels in the early going, as they did not get their first shot till over six minutes into the game, just like Army the night before. When RIT finally did get their offense going, they were able to tie the game at 12:36.
Matt Smith picked up a rebound to the left of the net, and, from the bad angle, roofed a shot past Jay Clark.
RIT nearly took the lead a few minutes later when Matt Crowell made a nice move in front of the net to get open and beat the goalie with a high shot. However, it sailed up and off the crossbar.
Shortly afterwards, while on a power play, Army nearly took the lead. In a play virtually identical to the first goal, Chase Podsiad received a centering pass with nothing but an open net to shoot out. However, instead of one-timing it, he hesitated, settling the puck, which allowed Menard to get across and make a kick save.
The second period featured plenty of chances for both teams. After outshooting RIT 15-6 in the first period, Army was outshoot, 17-5, in the second. Both teams had plenty of time to fire shots, but many of them never reached the net. The best opportunity came when Matt Smith was unable to stuff in a rebound from in close, as Clark stopped it on the line. Clark was heavily tested in the period in just his third start.
After Josh Kassel played extremely well, some were surprised with Clark getting the start; Riley didn't have any doubts.
"I thought he played great," Riley said. "That certainly wasn't a freshman out there. He made a couple of key saves in the third period, a penalty shot save. We know we have some good goalies here. It was an opportunity to give Clarkie a chance in a great place to play. This will go a long way in helping his development cycle."
"I thought he played real well," Wilson said.
As the middle frame progressed, so did the chipiness of the game. By now, familiarity between the two teams was breeding contempt. The hits got harder, the after-the-whistle activity increased, and emotions ran high as players jawed at each other after the horn sounded.
"It was a very chippy game," Riley said.
Clark continued to shine in the third period, as RIT increased their territorial control in Army's zone. Menard also had to come up with some big saves, including stopping a semi-breakaway and then the rebound shot from in close.
The defining moment of the game came 17 seconds into overtime when an Army defender covered the puck in the crease, causing an automatic penalty shot call. RIT picked Steven Matic to take the shot.
"I was hoping the Zamboni would come out and clean off the ice," joked Wilson.
Matic cut right and went to his backhand, but the puck bounced on the well-used ice and he wasn't able to get much of a shot off, as Clark stayed with him the whole time and easily made the save.
Army got one last power play in overtime, and though they did force the puck into the net in a wild scramble, it was disallowed by the refs.
"To come out of here with the two ties, those were two hard fought games," Riley said. "Those points were certainly earned by both teams tonight."
Army (5-2-2, 5-5-2) moves into first place by one point over Bentley. Next weekend they play a home and home series with Sacred Heart. RIT (3-3-2, 4-5-2) hits the road to play two games at Bentley next weekend.

Over at U.S. News & World Report today, I list 10 common mistakes that you might be making on your resume. Yes, you. Go read it.
{ 8 comments… read them below }
Nadeem Bhanji
Having put objectives in every resume I use, I find it hard to get rid of them. How does a resume start without an objective? Does it go straight into work history/ degree information? Speaking of degree info, if one was to leave out the major what would you put down? Just "Bachelor of Science"?
Yes, no objective. You start with something called "PROFILE" – a summary of your key qualities in 1 long sentence.
I had tried to write objective in my resume, and I always find it silly and pointless. I'd probably repeated the position I'd like to apply in the email title and coverletter couple times, and my resume is probably nicely sorted under the job I'm applying at. I know, and employers know, why waste space?
ot: Do you know any good places to get resumes done?
I spent 500$ on one it had most of the mistakes you listed. Needless to say it has been a horrible experience.
Pingback: Marketing agency resume advice: 14 tips to get more interviews | Frontline Results Marketing by Karl Sakas
Robert Green
The biggest mistake people make with their resume is doing it on their own. I've literally seen 100,000 plus resumes in HR and recruiting and nearly 100% could be significantly improved. People need third party objective input on a resume. Friends, family, and co-workers are not the answer.
For someone who has just graduated from her masters and has only had one 'real' job, how long should a resume typically be? I know I don't have all the experience in the world, but I think my volunteer experience amounts to something. Right now, my CV is 5-pages.. Is this over-board?

The Block: hammer falls
Property reporter Toby Johnstone attended the invite only auction. Here's his take.PT1M31S http://www.theage.com.au/action/externalEmbeddedPlayer?id=d-2ggwa 620 349 March 21, 2013
Property slump? What property slump? More than two million viewers tuned in for the TV auction of the four houses renovated on the Nine Network's reality series, The Block: All Stars.
While Phil Rankine and Amity Dry may have walked away with $295,000 profit and $100,000 prize money, it was Channel Nine who woke today to find ratings gold on their doorstep.

The final broadcast of The Block: All Stars was coded into three separate broadcasts, a common industry practice to maximise the numbers.
The "winner announced" segment drew 2.1 million viewers. The preceding "auction" segment drew 2.01 million viewers. The grand final episode, which kicked off the night, drew 1.64 million viewers.
In a rare turnaround, Seven's ratings steamroller My Kitchen Rules was pushed back to 1.56 million against The Block, but it would be expected to resume its chart-topping ratings from tonight.
MKR's elimination of Angela and Melina was no competition for The Block.
In fact, The Block: All Stars got off to a bumpy start this year. Its launch, preceded by a heavy marketing campaign on Nine, had to face off with My Kitchen Rules' "Spice Girls" episode.
Some 2.2 million viewers went for the Spice Girls, driving the launch of The Block: All Stars back to 959,000 viewers. Failing to crack the "one million viewer watermark" - the new benchmark for success and failure in commercial TV - was particularly bruising, doubly so when you consider The Block's history of strong ratings.
But The Block recovered, slowly building its audience up to the respectable side of the one million watermark, before soaring into the giddy heights of the two million mark for its finale.

The result doesn't write itself into the history books. Those gods, based on capital city TV ratings, are MasterChef(3.9 million in 2010 and 3.56 million in 2009) and Australian Idol (3.33 million in 2006 and 3.34 million in 2004).
But it positions Nine confidently for the rest of 2013: the launch of The Voice, the re-launch of Australia's Got Talent, new series of Celebrity Apprentice and Big Brother and yet another Block.
The Block: Sky High will set its contestants the challenge of turning a drab Melbourne motel into a high-end apartment tower. It will air on Nine later this year.
■ In a good omen for Seven's celebrity diving show Celebrity Splash, the US version made a strong debut in the US, drawing an audience of 8.8 million viewers and landing in second place in its timeslot.
It was beaten by the ratings titan NCIS.
Seven's local version of Celebrity Splash will feature socialite Brynne Edelsten, surfer Koby Abberton, Gold Logie winner Denise Drysdale and television presenter Laura Csortan, amongst others.
The format was launched last year at the MIPCOM television market in Cannes, France, and generated enormous buzz. Seven launch their version later this year.

A look at today's forecast
After a cold and cloudy night, it does mean a chilly, grey start today. Fairly miserable and damp with some light rain.
Difficult to pinpoint any breaks for a little sunshine this afternoon. Perhaps later on for the fringes of Gloucestershire and Wiltshire. Highs reaching 7 degrees despite the cloud cover.

College Hockey:Wong's PP Goal the Difference for UNO
OMAHA, Neb. — The long-awaited and anticipated return of Bowling Green to the Omaha Civic Auditorium had finally come, and Nebraska-Omaha was ready, as the Mavericks defeated the Falcons, 3-2.
"I thought it was a pretty hard fought hockey game," BGSU coach Buddy Powers said. "Neither team wanted to give an inch."
UNO Head Coach Mike Kemp agreed.
"I thought tonight was reflective of what I expected. Both teams played with the intensity we have come to expect from these teams," he said.
Last time these CCHA opponents met in Omaha, a birth at Joe Lewis Arena in the CCHA final five was at stake. On two goals by Jeff Hoggan, the Mavericks advanced, and sent the Falcons flying home. The Falcons have been waiting for a rematch since.
However, Bowling Green actually had a crack at the Mavericks on its ice before this weekend. Back on Dec. 8-9, BGSU hosted UNO. The Mavericks took the first game, 3-1, but the Falcons answered with a vengeance, winning the second game, 7-2, to earn the split.
Friday, Bowling Green started Tyler Masters in goal, the same man who was in net for the CCHA play-in game. For UNO, a rookie unfamiliar with the history of these teams, Dan Ellis, was the goalkeeper.
Jason White got UNO on the board first. White stuffed in a pass from Dave Noel-Bernier, who was camped behind the net and saw White streaking in.
Bowling Green got the equalizer 17:56 into the first period on a power play, capitalizing on a strange goal. Scott Hewson attempted a centering pass deep in the UNO zone that deflected off of Mavericks defender Zach Scribner's skate, up over Ellis' shoulder and into the net.
At 6:33 of the second period, UNO re-took the lead. David Brisson fed Billy Puglise in the slot. Puglise fought off a BGSU defender and slid a shot toward Masters. The goalie actually got a leg on the puck, but not enough to keep it out of the net.
The Maverick advantage was short-lived. In transition, the Falcons soared down ice and set up. Roger Leonard skated around the UNO net and attempted a wraparound, but Ellis hugged the post and made the save. Noticing he left a rebound, Ellis dropped to make another save, only to see Mark Wires tuck the puck just under the crossbar at 7:54 of the second period to tie the game.
Very late in the second, the Mavericks ended the scoring. Brisson rushed a Greg Zanon pass up ice and towards the center of the net, where he left the puck for Andrew Wong. Wong, through traffic, beat Masters down low. The power-play goal came with just 32 seconds left in the period.
"That goal made us realize all we needed was 20 more minutes of good hockey, and we won 3-2. That was a big thing," Brisson said.
Wong, a rookie, earned first star honors with his goal and assist on the night.
"I went back to basics, doing the little things, and what I have to do to stay in the lineup is going to be what I do the rest of the way," Wong said.
Fireworks erupted after the buzzer to end the second period. An ugly scene broke out involving several Maverick and Falcon players. Words were said, fists were thrown, and eventually five men receive penalties. The result was a Bowling Green power play to start the third period.
The Mavericks shut down the power play to open the third period and played tight defense to prevent the Falcons from scoring.
"That was huge. Coming out of that scrum, and getting the extra penalty, that put a little pressure on us. It wasn't the ideal way to start a period, but it was huge to kill it," Kemp said.
Ellis made one last huge save on BGSU's leading scorer, Greg Day, with about one minute left to preserve the win.
"Nebraska might have been a little more consistent, getting to loose pucks, and at times just outplayed us," Powers said.
With the win, UNO improved to 12-10-1 (7-7-1 CCHA). Bowling Green, which was coming off a sweep of Princeton, fell to 6-11-4 (3-8-4 CCHA).
The two teams meet again Saturday night.
