Working to improve the lives of poor people in the UK.
Posted by
Mora McLagan Commissioning Editor - Communications
16th Oct 2011
Oxfam believes that everybody in the UK should have enough money to feed themselves and their families, whether they are in or out of work. That's why I paid a visit last Friday to The Magic Breakfast club at Randal Cremer school in Hackney, to understand why for an increasing number of families, breakfast is getting harder to provide.
"It's a lifeline" sighs the tired, smartly dressed woman on her way to work in Hackney, London. "I've had to move out to Essex to be able to afford a three bedroom house. I wouldn't be able to have that if I wasn't working full time, and I couldn't work without the breakfast club."
Dionne with her son at Randal Cremer Primary School
This is Dionne, a single mother of two who has recently found herself at the mercy of sharply rising fuel and food bills, against her static wage. Add to this a long working day with a hefty commute into London at either end of it, and the recipe is not only stress and tiredness; but a tightly run ship. Dionne has everything mapped out from dawn till dusk to make sure her children eat healthily and in routine. "Because I don't finish work till six" she tells me, "I have to give the kids dinner at school too, otherwise they'd be eating
too late when we get home. So I cook their dinner the night before, then take it to school with us to eat in the evening together at the after school club." Unwilling to sacrifice either her job or her kids' enjoyment of her home-cooked meals, Dionne would simply not get to work at all if it weren't for the school breakfast club, run by Magic Breakfast.
This system works for Dionne, only just. But as our Oxfam poll showed this week, poorer families and individuals alike all over the UK are feeling the pinch the hardest when it comes to feeding themselves and their children. What's more, their financial balancing acts are becoming even more precarious. For parents like Dionne; suddenly having to fix a broken car, buy a
new school uniform or take unpaid leave to care for a sick relative could send them spiralling further into debt.
A network of school breakfast clubs around England, Magic Breakfast was set up by social entrepreneur Carmel McConnell. In her previous life as a corporate advisor on business ethics, Carmel was researching her first book Change Activist when she stumbled across the disturbing fact of children arriving at school too hungry to learn. Magic Breakfast was her solution; a charity that provides breakfast at school before the day begins. For those parents who can't afford to make a contribution to the club, Magic Breakfast picks up the bill. It costs as little as £3.50 to
give a child a free nutritious breakfast for a whole month.
Though Dionne is able to pay to use the club at Randal Cremer, she is still feeling the impacts of price rises elsewhere. "I haven't had a pay rise for three years" she tells me. "But each January, my costs go up. Bus fares go up, train fares go up, petrol is constantly fluctuating up and down, and food obviously... I can just about pay the bills with my wages, but that's it. I don't have anything extra, even for the kids' birthdays I struggle."
Listening to Dionne, it's tempting to suggest that she takes a back seat for a while, reduces her hours or spends more time at home. But nothing could be further from her mind. "A lot of people have said to me; 'maybe you should take time out of work? Let the government support you for a while because you've been working for such a long time" she explains. "But I've been brought up with a work ethic. My mum was a nurse. She was a single parent too and she struggled along with me. I didn't come out too badly! I'd love it for my children to have the
same values; that life is not about people giving you things all the time, it's about you going out there and learning the value of earning it for yourself."
Later on at Randal Cremer breakfast club I meet a second mother with the same name: Dionne. A busy single mum with seven-month-old twins plus two school age children, Dionne is increasingly juggling not just her time, but also her dwindling finances. While living costs like food and fuel have soared in recent months, her income has not. "My statutory maternity pay is nothing at the moment" she tells me. "Especially with the cost of utility bills rising, I'm getting into debt as my wages are not going up. Electricity and gas bills have gone up, and so has food
shopping. I used to be able to do a shop for £250 a month, now I'm spending £150 a week for more or less the same stuff. I am buying more baby stuff, but it can't make that much difference."
Another mother, also named Dionne, with her kids enjoying a Magic Breakfast
Using Magic Breakfast allows Dionne to feed her children in the morning more cheaply, while also freeing up much needed time. By using the service, she is then able to drop the twins off at her sister's house before starting voluntary work as a classroom helper at the school.
This certainly helps, but again, only just. Dionne has also had to make some drastic changes to her family's lifestyle in recent months. "I'm now having to budget and live a certain standard of life that I'm just not used to," she explains. "I used to drive, but I can't afford to now because of petrol and insurance. It would really help if I could drive though because of the kids. Lots of buses don't take double buggies, and even if they did there might be a buggy on already. I now need to add on an extra hour in travel time on to
every bus journey in order to get anywhere on time!"
Without a car and on a very limited budget, Dionne has also altered the way she shops. It's far more time consuming for her, and a very physical struggle too; "I used to go to the supermarket, but it's hard with no car and also it's the cost. By the time you get to the checkout, you might have gone over your budget. Now, I organise the shopping when the kids are in school. I have to do two trips, as I'm walking with the buggy and I can't carry everything in one hand."
Cooking is also tightly regimented. "I make a weekly schedule" Dionne explains. "I know exactly what I'm making before I buy it, so I only buy what we'll eat and waste nothing. You don't need to buy own brand sauces, you can make your own with the basics. I'm only buying the essentials." Despite this, Dionne is still struggling to stay out of debt, even with all of her efforts to cook well and cook cheaply.
Meeting Dionne I was amazed by how much she is able to fit into one day and still emerge smiling at the start of the next. But tightening the purse strings has really ramped up the stresses in her life, and as she sees it, across Britain too.
"You've got this budget, and then you've got creditors and debtors hounding you and you just have to make do. If we have to go back to the days of just eating potatoes and spam then we'll have to and I think we are going that way!" Dionne worries for her family, but also for the future of all young people across the UK who are growing up in an increasingly unequal society. Dionne believes the government cuts are worsening the situation, but that the media are also partly responsible; "They portray a certain material lifestyle that not everyone can
achieve" she explains. "Society is splitting into two halves; the haves and the have-nots, the people who can achieve this lifestyle and those that can't."
As our food poll showed, the poorest Londoners seem to have particularly severe problems juggling finances for meals. To Dionne though, this is far from a surprise; "London has been broken down into very different areas now. You can predict what is going to happen to the upbringing of a child from one place to another. The difference is right here in your face.
Pupils having their Magic Breakfast
Although she herself is struggling, Dionne still sees herself as better off than many in her area. "I have four kids," she explains, "and I try to get them out of flat as much as possible, but I can only just about afford it. What does someone do who can't, now that all the youth clubs and children's services are shutting?" It's a very good question, and one that's being asked right now up and down the UK.
Dionne says all this had made her want to switch careers, to help young people growing up in poorer urban areas build a better future. That's why she is now volunteering as a classroom helper at Randal Cremer, to get experience to retrain. "I'm becoming more worried about what's going wrong in society today," she says. "But I think that if you give kids the right head start, then you can stop problems like the riots before they happen."
Magic Breakfast is a small step towards making that head start happen for some of the UK's poorest children, and is shining a light on child hunger - the hidden UK story that deserves to be told.

Wouldn't "staying true to Islam" obligate you to dispense with non-believers?

Loved listening to these wise and passionate young women. My younger sister has converted to Islam and I have loved learning and listening and watching her grow into a wonderful muslim woman.
Peace be with you x

Intelligent, articulate and confident. A pleasure to listen to people who don't 'umm' and 'ahhh', don't rely on cliches as crutches (eg 'if you like'), and best of all no rising inflexions.

Well, it depends what interpretation of Islam you wish to follow. If it's that of the Prophet himself, peace be upon him, then living alongside non-believers is something he did his whole life, and the majority of it was peaceful, unless he was defending his life and that of his companions.
Try reading a book about him, a biography, not just random articles on the Internet. Lesley Hazelton has recently written one, she is an agnostic Jew so hopefully you would feel that her account would be unbiased, or at least not in favour of Islam.

Passage of ballot measure would raise $18 million over nine years to purchase property around Fairchild Air Force Base
September 12, 2013 | Vol. 117 -- No. 21
Following a public hearing Tuesday, Sept. 10, the board of Spokane County Commissioners voted unanimously to support Proposition 1 in the upcoming general election, which would collect property taxes to eliminate encroachment on Fairchild Air Force Base.
An estimated $18 million would be collected over nine years across the county to pay for the purchase of a mobile home park south of Highway 2 and in the Accident Potential Zone leading to Fairchild's runaway. That money would also be allocated to finding a proper replacement location for residents outside of the APZ.

ZF-3239: 'From' table not available in $_parts in Zend_Db_Table_Select
As described in #ZF-3235 it would be desirable to have access to the source table information in a Zend_Db_Table_Select instance. The current implementation sets the "from" information in the __toString() method, after which it's available in the $_parts array and thus accessible via getPart(). It would make sense to have the "from" information available in $_parts directly after the Zend_Db_Table_Select object has been instantiated. Attached is a modified Zend_Db_Table_Select which provides an idea to a possible solution. There's a new method _setParts(), which loads some information into the $_parts array. This is copied from __toString().
Please evaluate and fix/categorize as necessary.
I'd like the priority of this issue to be reconsidered... Because the way Zend_Db_Table_Select works the Zend_Paginator_Adapter_DbSelect can't utilize the existing method of modifying the provided select query. Currently it's done like so:
$expression = new Zend_Db_Expr('COUNT(*) AS ' . self::ROW_COUNT_COLUMN);
$rowCount = clone $this->_select;
However, at this point the FROM part is not yet know and can't be altered. The expression is used as argument for the columns() method, but this gets overwritten again in the assemble method. The only solution at the moment is to modify the query string in case of a Zend_Db_Table_Select. This is absolutely not desirable. Zend_Db_Table_Select should basically function the same way as Zend_Db_Select.
Attached is a patch that sets the FROM clause directly on instantiating the Zend_Db_Table_Select object. This is done in the setTable part:
public function setTable(Zend_Db_Table_Abstract $table)
$this->_adapter = $table->getAdapter();
$this->_info = $table->info();
$primary = $this->_info[Zend_Db_Table_Abstract::NAME];
$schema = $this->_info[Zend_Db_Table_Abstract::SCHEMA];
$this->from($primary, self::SQL_WILDCARD, $schema);
return $this;
The code used is directly copied from the assemble method, so it could be argued that some code there has become redundant.
I have tested the modified select query with Zend_Paginator and it now works the same as a Zend_Db_Select query. As far as I could find and run a unit test for this class (installing and configuring XDebug kinda messed with my PHPUnit's output) there don't seem to be any problems (at least no failed tests).
This issue should be fixed in time for ZF 1.6 RC1, so people can get the best Paginator experience ;)
This bug also prevents using Zend_Db_Select::columns(), before the select has been converted to a string at least once:
??Uncaught exception 'Zend_Db_Select_Exception' with message 'No table has been specified for the FROM clause' in /home/jaka/sites/iadmin.kubje.org/wcs/trunk/src/library/Zend/Db/Select.php:224??
Even the examples from the manual do not work because of this bug:
$table = new Bugs();
$select = $table->select()->setIntegrityCheck(false);
$select->where('bug_status = ?', 'NEW')
->join('accounts', 'accounts.account_name = bugs.reported_by', 'account_name')
->where('accounts.account_name = ?', 'Bob');
This would cause an SQL error ??Unknown column 'bug_status' in 'where clause?? since the Bugs table itself wouldn't even be included in the select query, unless echoed out first.
(sorry to double-post) To be more precise: __toString() would have to run before doing the join(), otherwise "accounts" is not joined to bugs, but the only table used for the select.
Jurrien's patch has a minor BC problem (if I understand everything correctly):
Currently, if you select only some columns, then only those would be returned, since * is added before converting to string ONLY if no columns are selected.
With Jurrien's patch, * would always be selected, unless explicitly removed using reset(Zend_Db_Select::COLUMNS).
In addition to Jurrien's change, I propose: - adding a protected variable $_wildcardSelectedByDefault. This would then get set to true in setTable() at the same time as ?$this->from($primary, self::SQL_WILDCARD, $schema)? - override columns() to remove ?self::SQL_WILDCARD? from columns and set _wildcardSelectedByDefault to false if setting columns for the primary table and $_wildcardSelectedByDefault is true.
This way * is selected unless columns() is called explicitly, and the Zend_Db_Table_Select object always reflects the current "state" (columns that will actually be selected).
I will be testing this solution during the next week. If anyone has any other suggestions/worries, please speak :)
Reassigned this issue to myself. I should be able to dig up an email conversation I had with Simon regarding this issue. Together with the comments in this post I should be able to fix this without BC breakage.
Resolved in r. 13530
Reverted in r. 13749 because of BC issues
The solution of ZF-2798 is also a solution for this issue.
I got this error today on Version 2.10.6. Is this bug fixed or not?

Then James meets a mysterious old man who gives him a bag of magical glowing green things (crocodile tongues) and tells him that marvelous things will happen. Racing home, James accidentally spills the contents of the bag at the base of a barren old peach tree. To his astonishment, a peach instantly appears on the branch and grows and grows until it reaches 20 feet in diameter. Hungry and curious, James sneaks out that evening and takes a bite of the peach. When a glowing tunnel appears, the frightened boy ventures inside and meets Centipede, Earthworm, Ladybug, Glowworm, Grasshopper and Miss Spider.

Take regular surfaces $M_1, M_2$ in $\mathbb{R}^3$ and suppose that we have the charts $$x: U \rightarrow M_1 \qquad y: U \rightarrow M_2.$$
Define the function $F=y\circ x^{-1}: x(U) \rightarrow y(U) $.
Why is $F$ a diffeomorphism between the surfaces $x(U)$ and $y(U)$?
Clearly $F$ is bijective, but I cannot see why $F$ is differentiable.

Cosmic Fast-Forward Button
For Playful Cat-God's Mice?
Todd Smith
From: "Todd Smith"
To: "Positive Atheism" <email@example.com>
Subject: Response to John Gannon's letter "Your Opening Quote Has a Deep Flaw"
Date: December 19, 2001 5:00 AM
I read John Gannon's letter "Your Opening Quote Has a Deep Flaw" and felt compelled to write.
One thing that has always befuddled me about the free will argument is that eventually, according to the Christian religion, Jesus Christ will come again, and we will all either end up in hell or in heaven; presumably to stay at one or the other forever.
Why, then, if God is good 'n' powerful, having already made the mistake of allowing "evil" to exist, does he not just hit the "fast forward" button in time, taking us either directly to heaven or hell instantaneously, therefore quickening the punishment for the sinners, and avoiding the unnecessary pain for the ones destined to go to heaven? I had this thought when I was eight years old, for crying out loud, and my Sunday school teacher couldn't answer it. The problem with the "programmed robot" argument is that it presumes that free will must coexist with evil. This is ridiculous. God could simply make evil an impossibility, and we would have free will to do anything within the framework he has created. Our free will is defined only within the laws of the universe. The impossibility to do something does not hamper free will.
One more point to drive it home: Will those souls lucky enough to make it to heaven check their free will at the pearly gates? No. They will keep their free will, and have everlasting, immortal bliss in heaven. Christians who forward the "programmed robot" argument don't even realize their own religion refutes it. After I realized this point when I was a child, I imagined God was a cat, and we were the mice that he played with before he ate us.

The dilemma with predestinarianism is the classic one discussed throughout history: the Scripture, wanting to describe God in the most powerful terms imaginable, inevitably sides with the idea of predestination, while human emotion tends to recoil against it. This argument crosses all forms of Monotheism, almost all other religious views, and even materialism. On my opinion, it has no answers, being incomprehensible any way you look at it. Wayland Dong and I began a materialist version of this scuffle some time back, in a thread called, "Atheism, Free Will, And Material Determinism. There are more files to be posted, which merely await the time when I can relax and put my best into this discussion. As tough as this discussion is (and as rare as a materialistic version of this argument would be), I wouldn't want to give it my second best. But you can see the basic groundwork laid down in what is already posted.
The notion that God has predestined a certain (small) number unto salvation is, in Christianity, included among the collection of doctrines known as "Calvinism" (after John Calvin, who was neither the first nor the most important proponent of predestination). A study of the Christian Bible will show that between three and four passages support Divine Election for every passage that supports human free will. By selectively emphasizing some passages and ignoring others, one can pronounce either viewpoint as being "biblical" and the opposing viewpoint as going against Scripture. Almost all predestinarians argue that the notion of Election does not mean that God has predestined the rest unto damnation; however, I don't see how this can be done in all honesty.
Predestination was favored up until the Age of Enlightenment, when just about every viewpoint was given a complete shake-down. Christianity, for the most part, did not escape these changes. Now, the opposing viewpoint, Arminianism (after James Arminius), has gained preeminence, particularly due to the efforts of John Wesley. First, Arminianism fits in much more nicely with post-Enlightenment thinking than any form of Christianity has ever fit in with anything before it. Secondly, preaching became very successful as the result of Arminianism. Sophisticated Arminians sometimes admit that Calvinism has more biblical weight, but justify preaching Arminianism because it brings more sheep into the fold: the Calvinism-Arminianism question is not grave, by any means, and so people will not be in danger of Hell-fire because they believed the wrong way on this one matter (although you'd better have such teachings as the Trinity and the Nature of Christ right on the money, according to most sects).

Dec. 2, 1999
NEW ORLEANS - Four Tulane football players were named to Louisiana Football magazine's all-state college team, the publication announced Tuesday.
Wide receiver JaJuan Dawson, quarterback Patrick Ramsey, offensive lineman Torie Taulli and defensive back Tim Carter each earned all-state honors for their outstanding performances during the 1999 season.
Dawson, a 6-foot-1, 197-pound senior from Gibson, La., earned the accolades after catching a school-record 96 passes for 1,051 yards and eight touchdowns. Dawson currently ranks third nationally in receptions per game (9.60) and sixth in receiving yards per game (105.1). In addition, his 9.60 receptions per game is on pace to become a new Conference USA record. Dawson finished his career ranked second on the school's career receptions and career yardage list. He was also a 1999 first team all-Conference USA selection.
Ramsey, 6-foot-2, 225-pound sophomore from Ruston, La., set single-season school records for attempts (513), completions (310), passing yardage (3,410), and yards per game (310.0) in his first season as the Green Wave starting quarterback. He currently ranks 10th in the nation in total offense (304.5 yards per game) and is the only player in the 106-year history of Tulane football to throw for more than 400 yards in a single game.
Tauli, a 6-foot, 256-pound sophomore from Harvey, La., was a starter in every game this season at center and was a key reason why the Green Wave offense rolled to 4,626 yards of total offense, the second-highest total in school history. Tauli was a Conference USA all-Freshman selection last season.
Carter, a 6-foot, 183-pound junior from Tallahassee, Fla., was a starter in 10 of 11 games this season at cornerback. He totaled 35 tackles on the year, including 27 solo stops. He led Tulane with eight pass break ups and one interception. It is the first time in his career that Carter has received postseason accolades.

There is Naught Else
Mikhael Reuvein ben Avraham
That God is One is the fundamental principle of Judaism. But what does it mean for God to be One? This small book brings divrei Torah and chiddushei Torah that show that God's Oneness is Absolute Infinity, meaning that God is all that exists, even as all that exists is not God.

Moraine Park Technical College's Electrical Power Distribution (EPD) program is preparing its Beaver Dam campus training site for the next phase of substation construction. The program's new Electrical Substation Certificate allows students to enhance their skills by learning how to inspect and maintain electrical substations. Thanks to a donation of labor, material and large equipment from Fond du Lac-based company Eilertson, Inc., students receiving the certificate will be able to get the hands-on experience they need for success in the field. Eilertson, Inc. specializes in the installation of below-grade materials in electrical substations, from low-clearance drilling to finish graveling. At Moraine Park's Beaver Dam campus, Eilertson, Inc. drilled large holes for the pier foundations with a 80,000-pound, high-pressure digging machine capable of boring through rock and all soil types. "This was a real-life opportunity for the substation students to learn and participate in the below-grade construction of a substation," said Mark Theyerl, Moraine Park EPD instructor. "The students learned how to tie reinforcement bar, lay out the form for the pier, pour the concrete pier and set anchor bolts. We are very grateful for the generosity of Eilertson, Inc. to the College." For more information on Moraine Park's EPD program and new Substation Certificate, visit morainepark.edu/programs.

Users have ratedTea with Mussolini
Boy, when they made "Steel Magnolias," little did anybody think that every movie with a mostly woman cast would be called up in comparison. The reason being that movies about the lives of women are very, very, rare and when you add the word aging to the mix, they are even rarer still.
So it is with a great sense of delight I tell you to run, not walk, to "Tea With Mussolini," a marvelous epic about the rise and fall of Il Duce, the Second World War in general, Italy in particular, and zeroing in on the location of Florence (the city of art) to be exact. Starring Cher (in stunning costumes) as Elsa Morganthal, a retired showgirl who has survived marriage to older (and richer) men, and acquired a fortune to spend on art (including a fake Picasso, the infamous "Les Demoiselles d'Avignon"), Judi Dench (the protector of the frescoes), Joan Plowright (simply one of the best actresses of our time), Maggie Smith (playing Lady Hester, a meanie, and loving every minute), and Lily Tomlin (delightfully playing a "tough" woman archaeologist), these are the grandes dames that lived in Northern Italy from 1935 to 1945.
Called the "Scorpioni" by their neighbors, these ladies warped and woofed much of the city�s social fabric, beginning at a time when tea was served every afternoon, following through the Brown Shirts, then declarations of war, and finally victory.
Lady Hester finds little to like and has some great lines like a remark made when an American child is seen eating the American idea of an ice cream sundae, "They can even vulgarize ice cream!" And because of Cher�s character along the way we get to see some wonderful art beginning with Ghirlandaio frescos (he was the teacher of Michaelangelo), the futuristic works of Balla, the Surrealism of Chirico, and, of course, a number of great Picasso�s.
This is a movie that hearkens back to the old days of the cinema where big downtown theatres would often show something meant entirely as entertainment, having nothing to do with political dogma or the so-called charm of youth. (Back before teenagers ruled the world, there was no "charm of youth.")
So settle back and watch the passing parade, knowing in advance that the good guys will win. And hope that another independent producer gets the money to bring us another story-telling treat, in order to save the Hollywood expenditure of shattered glass, gallons of fake blood, and fire balls!

2009 Annual Meeting and Exhibition
The 2009 APSA Annual Meeting will convene in Toronto, Ontario, Canada, September 3-6, 2009. For the first time in its 104 years, the Annual Meeting will take place outside the United States. In its own small way this traveling across a border is symbolic of the multiplicity of ways in which politics is, and our discipline needs to be, in motion.
The 2009 APSA Annual Meeting Program Chairs Bruce Jentleson, Duke University, and Simone Chambers, University of Toronto, ask political scientists to think about the pursuit of knowledge in a context of change and complexity as both a scholarly endeavor and for bringing that knowledge to bear on the crucial challenges that shape our contemporary era.

Saturday night
Saturday night
Saturday night's already old
Walking into Sunday, and I find
All desires are cold
I could walk forever, I don't mind
Show me a light, your company
Goes a little way to help me see
The path on which I'm bound
Rather than the things I leave behind
I've got the keys to the city
I can feel my luck
I got two days' money
If you light me up
This heart will shine on
"L'esclavage D'amour
It will be ours forevermore"
Words we both recall
Either from a lover, or the law
Saturday night, my steps have shown
I can walk away from all I've know
Goodnight, my friend, goodbye
Remember what they say,
When you're alone, laugh or die

A man perched on a statue of Prince George for nearly three hours, bringing traffic to a standstill and striking various poses in front of onlookers before being eventually talked down.. Photo: JUSTIN TALLIS
London's Whitehall was brought to a standstill for nearly three hours as a naked man straddled a statue in front of hordes of onlookers.
He was seen in a variety of poses on the statue of Prince George, the Duke of Cambridge, at times balancing precariously on the duke's head.
The man was coaxed down shortly before 3pm on Friday, local time, and detained under the Mental Health Act, police said.
Officers were called around midday to reports that someone had clambered on to the statue, and might have a knife.
A 100-metre stretch of Whitehall, near the heart of Westminster in central London, was cordoned off as emergency services tried to persuade him to come down.
The man was seen waving his arms around and was talking to crews on the ground as crowds of onlookers gathered at either end of the cordon.
Whitehall runs from Trafalgar Square and is where the Ministry of Defence is situated.

JLF Research | Policy Reports
There has been debate in North Carolina about the wisdom of accepting grants under the federal high-speed rail program to add a third and fourth Piedmont train. Similar controversy has erupted in other states, leading three governors to refuse high-speed rail funding (Florida, Wisconsin, and Ohio), while a legislative committee declined to include high-speed rail funding in the budget in a fourth state (Missouri).
This report outlines issues with respect to the proposed expansion of passenger rail service. Overall, it is noted that:
For the reasons outline above, North Carolina should return the federal high-speed rail grant funding, withdraw its pending application and seek no more funding for passenger rail.

In an interview with the local entertainment media, Matteo Guidicelli, one of the busiest actors in the country, aired his opinion on Sarah Geronimo's new look, he described his princess as a very beautiful and hot when asked by the local media yesterday, March 11, 2014.
"Sarah never looked as beautiful as today. She's very beautiful with her short hair. She looks good and I'm proud of her. She looks hot. She's very beautiful," Guidicelli said.
After hearing his statement, popsters took to their social media accounts and expressed their feelings regarding the hunk actor's latest revelation, according to them, Matteo and Sarah are still in a relationship contrary to some observers claim that they are now separated due to Mommy Divine Geronimo's interference.
And speaking of Mommy Divine, the entertainment media asked Matteo's opinion on rumored interference, but instead of commenting on the issue, he refused to say anything about his future mother-in-law, his only reply was "I don't know."
The hunk actor was also asked if it was right to question the decision of the parents and stand up for what she believes in. The Galema star confirmed that sometimes, he is arguing with his parents, but he added that he is thankful to them because they are always guiding and supporting him despite their argument.
"I believe that our parents are the foundation of who we are. We learn from them, I think 80 percent were from our parents, they teach us what's right and wrong, the values. But I think when you're at the age of 18 or 21 when you have to be yourself, it's up to you to make your own decisions in life," he said.
"You're parents taught you to trust the right person and they taught what's right for you. My parents trust me that when I go out in the outside world, I'll make decisions. If I fall I'll stand up and learn from it. It's one thing I learned from them, when you fall, you stand up stronger," Matteo ended.

I read the question and the answers regarding the idea of the mean being equal to the standard deviation, in which the mean can always be adjusted to equal anything. But, if the data is restricted to only positive values, then it seems the normal distribution would not work, while the exponential distribution and Poisson would work. Any ideas?

There are many other examples.
The simplest non-degenerate one is $1$ or $0$ with equal probabilities which has mean and standard deviation $\frac12$.
Another is to take the value $\sqrt{p(1-p)} - p$ with probability $1-p$ and the value $\sqrt{p(1-p)} - p+1$ with probability $p$, for $p \le \frac12$.
You could devise many more. A $\chi^2$ distribution with two degrees of freedom. Or if $X$ has a $\chi^2$ distribution with $1$ degree of freedom then $X+\sqrt{2}-1$.
You can multiply any example by any positive number $k$ and retain the property.

College Hockey:Workmanlike Spartan Effort Tops Wildcats
MSU Moves To Championship; NMU Holds Out Slim NCAA Hopes
DETROIT — Adam Hall and Brad Fast each netted a goal and Ryan Miller stopped 23 pucks as Michigan State beat Northern Michigan 2-1 in the second CCHA Super Six Semifinal game.
There were no surprises in the contest, except perhaps for how hard NMU goaltender Craig Kowalski had to work. Kowalski kept the game close, turning aside 39 of the 40 shots he faced.
"We knew this was going to be a tough game," said MSU head coach Ron Mason. "It's hard to beat anybody three consecutive times, and that's what we've done with Northern.
"I think they played with a lot more of a sense of urgency, early in the game especially, and obviously a little tentative. They're a tough team to play against. They're a strong team physically, and they play very, very well defensively, and tonight Kowalski played great."
"It was a hard-fought game," said NMU head coach Rick Comley. "Scoring, obviously, was going to be a key. When we got that goal to tie it, I thought we really got good jump, got going, and had really good opportunities."
Hall opened the scoring for the Spartans at 3:56 in the first, fed by Jim Slater and Brock Radunske. Along the boards near the right NMU circle, Radunske dropped the puck back to Slater, behind the Wildcat net. Slater centered it to Hall, whose initial shot was stopped by Kowalski. The rebound flew up into the air, and Hall stretched himself out to backhand the puck into the net on the left side.
Michigan State led 1-0 after one.
Alex Sawruk evened it up for Northern Michigan at 3:08 in the second, the end result of a smart play by Sean Owens in the NMU end. Owens stole the puck near the Wildcat blue line and passed ahead to Dave Bonk, who was already flying up through the neutral zone on the left wing. Once in the Michigan State end, Bonk passed from the left faceoff circle to Sawruk on the right wing, and Sawruk blasted it past Ryan Miller clean on the short side.
Fast's game-winner came at 16:29 in the second, fed by Ash Goldie. After taking the pass from Goldie, Fast hesitated at the top of the right circle before firing the puck on net. Kowalski made a grab for the puck, but the shot just squeaked in between Kowalski's outstretched hand and the crossbar.
In spite of being significantly outshot each period, the Wildcats made Miller work for a living, especially when Kowalski was pulled in favor of the extra skater with 53 seconds remaining in regulation. The closest NMU came to evening things up was near the final buzzer, when Chad Theuer gave it everything he got, sending the puck dead-on to Miller, who preserved the win with a save that looked routine but preserved the win.
"We got two goals, and that was enough to win," said Mason. "We didn't play 60 minutes of hockey, there's no question about that. That could have been because they did a nice job of forechecking us and things like that.
"The bottom line is we did what we needed to do to win the game, and we're where we wanted to be tomorrow."
Said Comley, "I thought we really, really played hard. You give your best effort, you deal with it, and you move on, and I thought our kids gave a very, very good effort."
The Spartans finished the night 0-for-5 on the power play; NMU went 0-for-1.
Now the Wildcats (26-12-2), a bubble team, wait until Sunday to find out if they'll be invited to the NCAA tournament.
Michigan State (27-7-5) faces Michigan in the Sunday afternoon CCHA championship game at Joe Louis Arena. The puck drops at 3 p.m. ET.

Steinhatchee, Florida is located on the Gulf side of the peninsula and near the mid-point of the Big Bend Region. It sits on the shores of the river of the same name and is a piece of Old Florida preserved. There are no theme parks or beaches here, so development has been slow. That's one reason the area is referred to as the Nature Coast.
There is, however, a playground for anglers here in the form of Deadman Bay. The waters of the Steinhatchee River empty into the bay on their way to the Gulf of Mexico. The bay is a mixture of hard, rock bottom, interlaced with sand and seagrass flats.
The region is well known for producing great seatrout fishing, but there is another side to the action. Redfish forage over the hard bottom and roam the seagrass areas looking for crabs, shrimp and other delectables.
Because the water in much of the bay is only a couple of feet deep, sight casting to the reds is possible, especially on lower tide levels. Also, when the surface is riffled by the breeze, topwater lures can entice some explosive strikes. If the reds don't respond to topwater offerings, a jig and soft plastic trailer often turns the trick.
Don't expect giant reds here. Most of the fish are going to be less than 27-inches. There's a two fish per day limit per angler, but most guides encourage catch and release of the reds. That's one reason the fish are so abundant in the region.
If you plan to run your own boat in the bay, it would be a good idea to first book a day of guided fishing. Navigating these shallow flats can be trick. Many novices to the area have ended up ruining a lower unit on the motor, or have gotten stranded by falling tides here. Capt. Tommy Thompson knows the Steinhatchee region and its fisheries well, and would be a good choice for anglers wanting to toss artificial lures or flies for a fun day on the water.
When you're ready for a lunch break it's a short run back into the river, where you'll find Hungry Howie's Pizza & Subs perched over the water on the north side of the flow.
At the end of the day you can have a full seafood dinner at Roy's Restuarant. That restaurant has been a favorite with visiting anglers since 1969. The eatery offers a great place to dine and catch the colorful Gulf sunset.
Anglers looking for bait, tackle and other guiding options can head to the Sea Hag Marina. Or if you trailered your own boat, there is a public ramp on the north side of the river.
For excellent accommodations, check out Steinhatchee Landing.

CLEMSON – The banner hangs on the side of Clemson's sparkling new $10 million indoor practice facility, hanging high above the FieldTurf and impossible to miss.
"Best Is The Standard," it trumpets.
Dabo Swinney loves motivational slogans and sayings. The amount of football-related propaganda that covers the surfaces and flashes on flat-screens across the WestZone and practice complex would make a 1980s Eastern European strongman nod in approval.
Yet, for some reason Friday afternoon, "Best Is The Standard" caught my eye as I watched the Tigers stretch and prepare for their first full practice of the 2013 season.
"We hear it literally after every practice. And before every practice," junior defensive tackle Josh Watson said of the phrase. "It gets engrained in you. That's the way we live, on and off the field. It never really gets old."
It fits what this season is all about – or at least what Clemson hopes it is about – starting with Aug. 31's much-anticipated season-opening top-10 showdown against Georgia ….. Read Full Story

When I start composing an SMS message on my Samsung Galaxy S2, if I pause for a couple of minutes the SMS gets sent automatically, even though the message hasn't been finished (and I haven't hit the "send" button). Is there some way I can stop this happening, please?
You could start off by checking if this is a problem with the Messaging app itself. Install an alternative SMS app (I use GO SMS Pro myself).
If all's fine with the alternative app, and you don't mind using it (they're much more powerful anyway), problem solved. Otherwise, you could try out what patchie is suggesting.
I would re install Android to the newest version. Either do it yourself, or go to a phone shop and pay 10$ or so for them to reinstall your phone.
If this solves your problem, it was a cheap fix. If it didn't work, you can go back to the phone shop where you bought the phone and make them fix it in guarantee.
If you want to try to download and install an awesome rom for your phone, you should read this: http://www.cyanogenmod.com/devices/samsung-galaxy-s2

In this day and age, men often feel that they have to compete for the affections of women. This may or may not be true, depending on the situation. Regardless, they will always be competitive, and therefore always find themselves trying to be better than the others. Some of the worst/best pickup lines that I've ever heard/have been used on me are listed below:
1. "Did you fall from heaven? Because you're the angel I've been looking for!"
2. "....you'll do."
3. "I just love your dress!...I think I would love it even more on my bedroom floor."
4. "I lost my phone number. Can I have yours?"
5. "You've been very bad. Go to my room."
6. "I lost my teddy bear! Can I sleep with you instead?"
7. "Do you believe in love at first sight, or should I walk by again?"
8. "I lost my keys. Can I check your pants for them?"
9. "Is that a mirror in your pocket? Because I think that I can see me in your pants!"
10. Thats, uh, a long text message that you're typing...*winks seductively*. Yes, this was actually used on me....
Got a better line or story? Email me at email@example.com and tell me about it!

Thieving Plumstead police officer is dismissed
15:47 20 November 2012
A serving Metropolitan Police officer jailed for theft earlier this month has now been sacked.
PC Ian Scouler, 46, was found guilty at Southwark Crown Court of the offence on November 7 and sentenced to 12 months in prison. He was suspended after being arrested in October last year and was dismissed yesterday.
The court heard he and PC Kenneth Potter, who resigned, were caught after an internal investigation found they stole more than £400 in cash from an address in Sidcup Road, Mottingham.
The pair were based on the disruption unit at Plumstead Police Station in Greenwich and in 2010 and 2011 police received several complaints from the public regarding theft of money and property in cases handled by the unit.
Commander Allan Gibson, of the Directorate of Professional Standards, said: "Where we have intelligence that officers may be breaking the law, we will be proactive and run covert operations to identify corruption.
"Both these men are now out of the police service and sitting in prison having been found guilty of theft. The prosecution case was based on evidence gathered by the Directorate of Professional Standards."
"There is no place for criminals in the Met and the Directorate of Professional Standards will put anyone who thinks they are above the law before the courts."

So, I'm at the PX on Foster the other day...minding my own business...looking at something. All of a sudden this older Japanese lady comes up and starts tapping on my belly saying "Almost done, almost done". Then says something in Japanese and walks away. I didn't really know what to say, so I just smiled.
BTW...I am 7 1/2 months pregnant.
Anyone else had anything like that happen while they have been here on Okinawa? :)

The bachelor of science in biology is a multidisciplinary program combining rigorous foundations in biology, chemistry, and physics.
All students will complete an experiential learning requirement where they do an internship, laboratory research, or participate in student teaching.
The student will also participate in a Senior Seminar course where a thesis is written based on either laboratory-based or library-based research. As part of this course, the student will also prepare a poster summarizing this research that will be presented at a professional public event during the senior year.
The major provides all biology students with a core set of courses introducing the basic concepts of life science and an in-depth introduction to the fundamentals of biological processes.
A subsequent series of courses provides a broad biological base for advanced work in specific concentration areas.
Requirements for the Major in Biology
3 credits unless noted
Total for Biology Core: 35 Credits(Excludes PHY 101 and PHY 102)
Requirements for the Pre-Dentistry Track
3 credits unless noted
Total Credits in Track: 25(Excludes MAT 130)
Total Credits Overall: 60
*BIO 290 & 291 will be offered beginning in 2015-16. BIO 360 will be offered beginning in 2016-17.

What's the longest you waited to tell family and friends you were expecting? If it was after 20 wks how did they react?
How long did you wait to tell you were pregnant?
with my first I told evverrryone within a couple days after my positive test. with my second, I waited til 12 weeks because I felt that something was wrong, or that I would miscarry... I ended up losing her at 21 weeks. this time, I was more cautious and wanted to wait till after I passed that 21 week milestone... but at 16 weeks when I found out it was another girl, I got too excited and wanted to be able to share it with everyone on fb.. so I did.
All girls <3
Kayleigh Paige 11/2009, ^^McKenna Anne^^ 3/2012, Lorelei Mary 2/2013, Adalynn Jane 4/2014
I told my family and some close friends as soon as I found out with all 3. I actually posted on Facebook with #2 and #3 at 9 weeks. With #1 I didn't openly tell people aside from clsoe family and friends until i was 12 weeks. With #1 one of my co-workers said to me one day "OMG you are glowing!!!!". i was like "Um ok?", and she was like "You are pregnant!". the randomness caught me off guard and I started giggling and blushing, which gave away the truth LOL
By 20 weeks I was showing pretty well with all 3. There was no hiding it after like 15 weeks.

A North Carolina teen is in trouble after an unusual attempt to kill her grandmother, Fox Carolina News reported April 25.
Tyt'ana Lisa Nicole Johnson, 17, of Fayetteville was charged with two counts of attempted first degree murder after putting insecticide and termite killer into a pot of collard greens. Johnson was reportedly upset because the grandmother had taken away her cell phone privileges.
Johnson poisoned the pot while her grandmother was attending Easter services at her church. Gaylon Moody, 51, the grandmother and her friend Clifton Evans, 56, both ate the poisoned greens, and both had to be treated at a local hospital.
Johnson is being held at Cumberland County jail on $500,000 bond. Since she is older than 16, Johnson has been charged as an adult.
In an interview with The Fayetteville Observer, Gaylon stated
"We started feeling funny afterwards. He and I started feeling very funny, started feeling numb from my waist up."
Gaylon told the Observer than she was going to drive herself and Clifton to the hospital, but a friend advised against it, and drove the two to the hospital
Clifton is still experiencing some numbness in his fingers. Both he and Gaylon are expected to recover.
The deed might have gone unpunished, thinking it a bad case of food poisoning, had a friend not overheard Johnson telling a friend what she had done. Johnson did apologize to Clifton, saying she only meant the 'greens' for her grandmother.
Johnson also admitted to her crime to Fayetteville investigators.
Gaylon describes her granddaughter's attachment to her cell phone
"She paid more attention to that cellphone than her surroundings."

This prestigious game is one of the most awaited football championships. There are many countries send their best football teams to win the match. This once-every-four-year tournament always chooses one country as the organizer to arrange the championship. In 2014, the football competition were conducted in Brazil. It is the second time for Brazil to conduct the game, which makes them becoming the fifth country to ever hold the world cup for more than once along with Mexico, Italy, France, and Germany. About the stadium, at first, there were only eight places planned to be used. However, Brazilian Football Confederation asked for permission to add four more places, and FIFA allowed them. As a result, there were 12 places opted to hold the match.
In this year, there are 32 countries which managed to join the worldwide competition. Similar with the previous championships, these countries were divided into eight groups of four. In group A, there were Brazil, Mexico, Croatia and Cameroon. Netherlands, Chile, Spain and Australia were included into group B. Group C had Colombia, Japan, Greece and Ivory Coast. In group D, it consisted of Costa Rica, Uruguay, Britain and Italy. There were Switzerland, Ecuador, France and Honduras in group E. Argentina, Nigeria, Iran, and Bosnia and Herzegovina were in group F. In group F, it had Germany, USA, Ghana and Portugal. In group H, the last one, there were Algeria, Belgium, Russia and South Korea.
After the elimination round, those 32 countries turned into 16 countries. The top 16 round was started from June 28 to July 1. On June 28, both Brazil and Chile got one score for each. Hence, they did a penalty kick which resulted Brazil as the winner. On the same day, Colombia won 2-0 from Uruguay. On June 29, Mexico lost the game from Netherlands, and Costa Rica made it through to the next round after beating Greece through the penalty kick. On June 30, France got two points from Nigeria, and Germany got an overtime which made them win the game from Algeria. On July 1, Argentina won the game from Switzerland after acquiring overtime. Same thing happened to Belgium which also got overtime to steal 2 points from USA.
On July 4, according to agen maxbet, the quarter-final was began. It was started between Brazil and Colombia. The winner here was Brazil with the score 2-1. Meanwhile, France had to lose the game with zero point from Germany. On July 5, since both teams had the score 0-0, Netherlands and Costa Rica did a penalty kick, and Netherlands was able to get four points which allowed them to go to the next round. In the match between Argentina and Belgium, Argentina made it through with the score 1-0. On July 8, the semifinal between Brazil and Germany was began and ended with the score 7-1 for Germany. On the next day, Argentina won the penalty kick from Netherlands. Brazil and Netherlands then tried to get the third place on July 12, and the winner was Netherlands. The final game between Germany and Argentina, which was on July 13, ended up with overtime. For the fourth time, Germany won the world cup in 2014, and Argentina had to be satisfied on the second place.

Recently diagnosed gay men talk about their HIV treatment decisions
With thousands of the world's HIV researchers meeting in Melbourne this week for the International AIDS Conference there will be much discussion about HIV treatments.
Delegates will hear the latest research findings about the optimal time for people diagnosed with HIV to initiate treatment in order to achieve the best health outcomes, with current evidence suggestingthat starting treatments earlier reduces harm done to the immune system, improving long-term health.
Another area of intense research is the role that HIV treatment has in reducing the risk of onward transmission of HIV. Studies have reported that achieving undetectable viral load through effective treatment practically eliminates the chances of passing the virus to sexual partners. Though most of this evidence is among heterosexuals, current studies are underway, including the Opposites Attract study here in Australia, to understand if the same protection applies to sex between men. These combined benefits have led to a shift towards recommending early treatment; but how do recently diagnosed gay men in Australia feel about the prospect of beginning treatment?
An Australian study, the HIV Seroconversion Study conducted by researchers from the Kirby Institute and the Australian Research Centre in Sex, Health and Society, asks participants about their intentions regarding HIV treatment. About three quarters of the men interviewed had been diagnosed within the six months prior to their interview, and half had already begun treatment. Beginning treatment was seen as a way of taking control of the virus, and as a way to protect their sexual partners. Among those who had not yet begun treatment, some expressed concerns about the potential for harmful side effects, and others did not feel ready to commit to a life-long regimen of medication.
The researchers concluded that, if early initiation of treatment is to be encouraged, appropriate mechanisms must be in place to provide recently diagnosed individuals with the information and support they need to enable them to make informed choices and to address their concerns.
The Seroconversion Study continues to recruit participants. Anyone in Australia over 16 years old who has been diagnosed with HIV sometime in the past two years is invited to participate. The study aims to understand the factors involved with HIV transmission, and learn about the experiences of people recently diagnosed. Participation is completely anonymous and involves an online survey, and an optional face-to-face interview.
Since 2007, more than 600 gay and bisexual men have completed a survey, while 100 have participated in a face-to-face interview. Information collected from the study is used to inform Australia's response to HIV.

2 cm dialated and 80% effaced - how long till delivery?
Any guesses? Experience? I have an incompetent cervix and have gone from 1 cm to 2 in a week, and no clue what to expect next. I will be 35 weeks on Saturday and my ob says my baby will be in good shape if she comes early. I am still on bedrest and trying to make it as far as I can - I am in no hurry!
Answers: Well, I began dilating at 33 weeks.I was still induced nearly a week after my due date! So, it could be tomorrow of it could be a week past your due date lol! If you want to wait as long as you can (HURRAY for you and thinking about how it's best for baby and not complaining about how horrible it is for you, awesome job!!) then rest and stay hydrated! Stay away from sex, warm showers/baths, stress and walking a lot which can all bring on labor. Snuggle up witha good book, movie or whatever and relax.trust me.it's the last time that will happen anyways! GOOD LUCK!!
Ive got a 50 dollar spread on Jan. 25 - Feb 10.
No one can tell you exactly when but you can be sure it isnt much longer. Maybe a couple of weeks. Are you feeling like it is time? Is the baby lightening?
well ill tell you a story. i started having false labour at week 36 by week 38 i was already 95%effaced and 3 cm dialated. went over 40 hours of false labour and i went into labour on my own at exactly week 41. so you could go into labour soon or could still alittle more than a month away
I was 3 cm dilated for 2 weeks. I ended up being induced.
With my first I was 2 cm dialated and 50 % effaced at 35 weeks. I continued working and delivered at 38 weeks. With my second baby I was the same at 35 weeks and delivered at 37 weeks. So, it varies, but I would definitlly say you won't go the 5 more weeks till your due date!
i'm guessing that the doctor has not stripped your membranes yet so it could be a while yet. i was 2 cm dialated and 41 weeks along when my doc stripped mine and he was born within 24 hours. but as long as you stay in bed and take care of yourself you might be able to go another week or two. just be a bit more aware of what's going on in your underpants. when your water breaks, it's not a big gush like on TV and in the movies. it'll feel more like you're going to the bathroom in little bits at a time and it'll be clear and smell almost sweet and no matter how much you try to hold it in, it will keep coming out. good luck and congrats!!
There is no way to tell. Cervical checks are really pretty useless information, for the most part. Honestly, unless you are in active labor, how far dilated and effaced you are means NOTHING. You can walk around for a week or more 100% effaced and 3-4 cm dilated. (I did with my first.) Or you can be closed up tight as a bank vault and have a baby a few hours later. Cervical checks are just another way that docs try to "manage" women's pregnancies and labors. Many midwives don't even do cervical checks until mom is in active labor. (And some NEVER do them, even in labor!) Just relax and try to take it easy and keep that baby in as long as possible. At least 37 weeks!
The answers post by the user, for information only, FeelBaby.com does not guarantee the right.

Disease Proof
Health Points: Friday
- Looking for a healthy heart? Sure you are! Get some cranberries then, because they're being linked to good heart health. More from EMaxHealth:
A recent review of scientific research suggests cranberries may offer a natural defense against the development of this dangerous disease. Researchers feel that many of these results are due to the fact that cranberries contain a greater concentration of antioxidants than other commonly consumed fruit and that these nutrients may be working together to offer even greater benefits.
The report conducted at Tufts University, and published in Nutrition Reviews, found that cranberries offered a range of different benefits that work to promote cardiovascular health. These benefits include effects on cholesterol as well as on blood pressure and the development of blood clots, all established risk factors for heart disease.
- Smoking is not doing India any favors. It could kill 1 million people by 2010. Muneeza Naqvi of the Associated Press reports:
One in five of all male deaths and one in 20 of all female deaths between the ages of 30 and 69 will be caused by smoking, said the study, conducted by a team of doctors and scientists from India, Canada and Britain and published in the New England Journal of Medicine.
"The results we found surprised us, because smokers in India start later in life and smoke fewer cigarettes or 'bidis' than those in Europe or America, but the risks are as extreme as in the West," said Prabhat Jha of the Center for Global Health Research at the University of Toronto, the lead author of the study.
- Surprise! Fast food isn't good for you—or your liver. A new study claims eating a lot of fast food spikes liver enzymes. WebMD is on it:
On average, the students gained 14 pounds, added 2.6 inches to their waistline, and padded their body fat percentage by 3.7% during the study.
Blood samples provided by the students throughout the study show a spike in levels of the liver enzyme alanine aminotransferase (ALT). ALT levels rose quickly -- typically within a week -- after the students started the fast-food diet.
- I don't eat tuna, but if you do. You might want to check out the "tuna calculator." It helps you decide how much tuna to eat. See it at ParentDish:
Tuna is one of those annoying pregnancy foods that might be really, really good or really, really bad for the baby.
Instead of driving yourself crazy (like I did!) trying to guess the proper amount to ingest without putting increasing your mercury level to the point of now return, you can use the handy dandy Tuna Calculator that will give you a suggested weekly serving based on your weight.
- Cloned meat makes a lot of people nervous—myself included—one food producer is prohibiting cloned animal products. The Seattle Times reports:
PCC Natural Markets is prohibiting suppliers from using cloned animal products in their food. It also wants them to disclose where ingredients are from and what they mean by terms such as "natural flavors."
These moves come months after the Seattle chain eliminated high-fructose corn syrup from its eight stores and began identifying the countries of origin for its meat, seafood, peanuts and fresh and frozen produce.
- Some people think red wine is a magic potion for your heart. Well, it turns out its no better than other alcohols. From the Dairy Reporter:
According to the research, red wine and alcohol consumption were found to have virtually identical impact on health, with one drink of either substance helping to reduce the work rate of the heart.
The findings, which are published in the February edition of the American Journal of Physiology, Heart and Circulatory Physiology, could challenge the perception that polyphenol content of red wine is responsible for cardiovascular benefits.
Red wine has been linked to extended survival rates of mice and prevented the negative effects of high-calorie diets, in other testing, due to the presence of the polyphenol, resveratrol.
- Sandi Doughton of The Seattle Times asks the question, "Does our lack of sun put your health in danger?" Here's a bit:
"You're in a dark, gloomy place," said Bruce Hollis, a leading vitamin D researcher at the Medical University of South Carolina. "In the winter, you could stand outside naked for five hours and nothing is going to happen."
Increased use of sunscreen has turned a seasonal shortfall into a year-round condition for many people. A recent survey in Britain found 87 percent of adults tested during winter, and more than 60 percent in summer, had subpar vitamin D levels. Doctors in many parts of the world — including California — report a resurgence of childhood rickets, soft bones caused by lack of vitamin D.
- Look, cigarette companies up to no good—big surprise. It seems the "tobacco giants" are in cahoots. The AFP reports:
Tobacco giants Philip Morris, British American Tobacco and Japan Tobacco actively collude with cigarette smugglers to gain a foothold in lucrative developing markets, campaigners alleged on Wednesday.
"Transnationals benefit in a number of ways from the illicit trade in tobacco," said Kathyrn Mulvey, director of international policy with the lobby group Corporate Accountability International (CAI).
