The summary below is from the full report titled "Mediterranean and Low-Fat Diets Improve Endothelial Function in Hypercholesterolemic Men." It is in the 19 June 2001 issue of Annals of Internal Medicine (volume 134, pages 1115-1119). The authors are F Fuentes, J López-Miranda, E Sánchez, F Sánchez, J Paez, E Paz-Rojas, C Marín, P Gómez, J Jimenez-Perepérez, JM Ordovás, and F Pérez-Jiménez.
High cholesterol levels can lead to blockages in blood vessels, a condition called atherosclerosis. Atherosclerosis can result in heart attacks or strokes when blockages obstruct blood flow to the heart or brain. The endothelium is the lining of blood vessels, and it helps to control their narrowing and expanding. Endothelium that does not function normally plays a role in the development of atherosclerosis. People can lower their cholesterol levels and their chances of developing atherosclerosis by switching from diets high in saturated fats to diets low in saturated fats. However, it is unclear whether these diets have any effect on the endothelium.
To find out if a low-fat diet or a diet enriched with monounsaturated fats (a type of unsaturated fat) affects the endothelium. The low-fat diet was the stage 1 diet that the U.S. National Cholesterol Education Program recommends (the NCEP-1 diet). The diet enriched with monounsaturated fats was the type of diet commonly called a "Mediterranean diet."
The study included 22 Spanish men 18 to 65 years of age with high cholesterol levels.
For the first 28 days of the study, the men ate a diet high in saturated fat. Then, half of the men switched to an NCEP-1 diet and the other half switched to a Mediterranean diet for the next 28 days. After this, the men who had been on the NCEP-1 diet switched to the Mediterranean diet and vice versa for the last 28 days of the study. At the end of each of the diets, the researchers collected blood samples to measure cholesterol and other fats in the blood. They also studied the endothelial function of each man using special ultrasound tests of the blood vessels.
Compared with the diet high in saturated fat, both the NCEP-1 and Mediterranean diets resulted in lower levels of cholesterol and other fats in the blood. Endothelial function was generally improved with both the NCEP-1 and Mediterranean diets. However, only the Mediterranean diet resulted in improvements in one type of measure of endothelial function called "flow-mediated vasodilation." Flow-mediated vasodilation is the amount that blood vessels expand as blood flow increases.
This study included only men with high cholesterol, so the results might not apply to women or to people with lower cholesterol levels. It is not known whether the results would be similar in people who stayed on the diets for longer than 28 days.
Compared with diets high in saturated fat, NCEP-1 and Mediterranean diets improve endothelial function and lower cholesterol in men with high cholesterol levels.

On Feb. 13, 2014, "American Idol" revealed the Top 31 semi-finalist contestants of the year, with the 32nd finalist to be voted on by viewers. Among these semi-finalists is 21-year-old Jillian Jensen, who made it to the Top 24 on "The X Factor" U.S. in 2012 before she was eliminated by "X Factor" judge/mentor Demi Lovato during the "judges' houses" phase of the competition.
People who watched Jensen's "X Factor" audition may remember that she brought Lovato to tears with her story about being bullied in school. Jensen also revealed that, just like Lovato, she has a tattoo that says "Stay Strong." Jensen's sob story even caused Simon Cowell to get choked up during her audition, in which she sang and cried while performing Jessie J's "Who You Are."
Unfortunately, Jensen just kept on crying throughout her "X Factor" journey, and her tendency to break down and cry may have been her undoing on "The X Factor."
Jensen's elimination was somewhat controversial because many viewers felt that she was more talented than some of the contestants who were kept longer on the show.
In an October 2012 telephone conference call with journalists, Cowell commented on Jensen's "X Factor" elimination by saying: "I know people were concerned about losing Jillian, and I think I know why she was replaced by somebody else, because it was all getting a little bit too gloomy. You've got choose people who can be entertainers. I kind of admire Demi for making that decision because she really liked her as a person, but she just went with her gut instinct."
After being eliminated from "The X Factor," Jensen was briefly in a band with "American Idol" alum Erika Van Pelt, who came in 10th place on "American Idol" in 2012.
As previously reported, another "X Factor" U.S. alum was also featured on "American Idol's" Season 13 in 2014: Austin Percario, who was part of the kiddie group InTENsity, which came in 12th place on "The X Factor" U.S. in 2011.
InTENsity disbanded shortly after being eliminated from "The X Factor." Percario is now a solo singer. Percario didn't make it as far on "American Idol" as he did on "The X Factor." He was eliminated during "American Idol" Hollywood Week, which is similar to "X Factor" boot camp.
Feb. 18, 2014 update: Jensen was eliminated from "American Idol" during the show's Rush Week. Just like what happened on "The X Factor," Jensen was dropped from the competition before getting a chance to perform in the live episodes.

Now Calum Hood was born on January 25, 1996 and that makes him eighteen years old. He is of Asian ancestry and is the bassist of 5 Seconds of Summer. I know he has a huge fan bass or following because I did some research on this adorable bassist. Anyways, have fun drawing Calum Hood, I will be back with the rest of the band so stay tuned in.

It was a year of sassy transitions, of living and dying, of being, wiping tears, sitting still and enjoying silence. Hands on her hips swivel dance skirt dusting Oya gave me exactly what I wanted, needed, could imagine, hope for, feared, craved.
Many in my orbit have had relatives and loved ones transition into a new state. Two friends of mine also went cosmic fishing. Then there were my cats. But as death delivered, so did my sister-in-law: a boy I like to call Pie. And who doesn't like pie?
Travel was big for me this year. Every month I was somewhere running my mouth, conducting business, holding court, and afterward laying about giggling enjoying food, drink and love, often to a chorus of disagreeable beds and fickle weather. Started my 41st year strolling along the beautiful canals in Amsterdam, and ended it in Accra sipping warm palm wine spiked with Guinness from a calabash on the side of a road near the Mapong Akuapem Mountains. You aint been nowhere till you been to a place where black folks are the majority. Where even the television got nothing but a bunch of beautiful, brown faces. For the most part, anyways. Where I winked at more men in nine days than I have in my entire life in the US. Where one becomes acutely aware of the effects of the colonialized mind. Where I saw myself clearly in the metadata. It's better to travel, trust me. Your inside parts will thank you.
Did a lot of work with the BGLA this year. Developed the collection, added more items, worked with two interns to help process many elements of the collection, and gave plenty a presentation about it. I am humbled by this work. It taught me the value of storytelling.
On the publishing tip, birthed two and promoted three VEP books: The Damaged Good, Carry the Word (with RedBone Press), and Conjuring Black Funk. My first solo book, Funny, is now out of print. Hilarious, right?
Immersed in three major writing projects now, a book of essays, poems and fiction; a biography; and an anthology co-edited with the marvelous Cheryl Clarke. Stay turned.
Attended many pride events – Philly, Washington DC, Atlanta, New York. Gave talks in St. Louis, Atlanta, Amsterdam, Baltimore, Los Angeles, and Toledo. Enjoyed myself. Did damn good. Stepped up my game considerably. You should bring me to your town. I give great talk. But you gotta pay a Negro.
Spent time in Toledo and Kansas with family this year. Wonderful. Several times throughout the festivities at my family reunion in Kansas City, my 90-year-old grandmother, who struggles with Alzheimer's, would stroke my goatee and tell me, "ooo, I betcha the girls just LOVE this, don't they?" I just nodded.
In other news…
Emotionally aware of how I feel to about everything, which can be distracting.
Mentally I'm becoming conscious what I create on the daily. A very good thing, indeed. Now, if I could just make better decisions.
Also, kinder to myself. I made a lot of great decisions this year. Now, if I could monitor my thoughts more closely.
Physically got fatter which sort of gives me a butt. Kinda.
And I think I finally got it. Glimpsed it. Took my boat out on the water and rowed toward this thing of mine, alone, trembling.in.this.place.here. My own thing, this, this, this. And she feels good and expansive, quiet.
My Lovers, Third Eyes, Compasses, Cautionary Tales, Ace Boon Coons, Oxpeckers: Carla, Marvin, Mingus, Heru, Niki, Jafari, Phillip, Samiya, Artis, Lisa, Andre, and Larry. This blissful year was in struggle, recognition, and acceptance of what I truly want and need. After many hard lessons, it was a time to return to splendor, of healing with knives and laughter, not to mention, lots of writing, therapy, and love. Turns out that there are only two things that this here boything wants and needs and desires: unconditional love of self and others, and peace of mind. All else has become irrelevant to me. Whatever drained me I let go.
Other lessons:
Fear-based love always implodes.
Choices are always available.
I don't mind a little chaos.
Not into pain like I used to be.
No longer moved to put a wall between us.
I like you better when we share face time.
I tuck pain away in my stomach, hard things to digest.
My muscular memory is a function of my fabulous mind.
My joy comes from creating, not necessarily from the thing created.
Have a great year. I plan to.

Renaissance Cruises halted all operations on September 25. The 10-ship cruise line, with eight contemporary 684-passenger and two yacht-like 114-passenger vessels, has filed "voluntary petitions for Chapter 11 reorganization." The company disembarked all passengers, regardless of what phase their cruise was in, and booked them on flights home. Renaissance also provided its onboard officers and crew with transportation home. In a statement Tuesday evening, Manfred Urpsrunger, Renaissance's president and CEO, said: "In light of the severe, unexpected drop in leisure travel following the terrorist attacks on the United States and the immediate and adverse impact on the Company's late stage recapitalization efforts, we concluded that this was the only responsible action we could take to exit our business in an orderly fashion while preserving value for our investors. We want to thank our customers, travel agent partners and employees for their support over the last year, and assure them that we are taking the necessary steps to minimize the impact of this filing on them." While Chapter 11 bankruptcy filing often means a company will continue operating under a reorganizational plan, in this case sources say this represents the final chapter of Renaissance's financially (and otherwise) tempestuous history. Insurance Issues
The folding of Renaissance Cruises is another blow for travel insurers this month -- particularly those whose policies cover passengers should a tour operator or cruise line cease operating. According to CSA, which does provide this coverage, Renaissance customers who paid by credit card should immediately contact their credit card company, then also request a claim form from their insurers. Those who paid by check or cash, a method of payment we never, ever recommend unless you take out travel insurance, should immediately file a claim with their insurance operator.
Typically exempt from any kind of coverage should a company halt operations is that which is purchased through the cruise line itself.
Also, unusually, Renaissance passengers are not covered by the Federal Maritime Commission -- often a source of last resort for passengers who paid by cash or check and have purchased no insurance policy coverage for business failure. The FMC requires cruise lines that call at American ports to post a bond but none of Renaissance's ten ships qualify.
Status of Ships
Renaissance Cruises has revealed the debt it faces as $110 million in passenger claims, $75 million in supplier claims and -- here's the mammoth one -- $1.1 billion owed in relation to the ships themselves. The latest?
* Renaissance has relinquished 8 out of 10 ships. Currently, the fleet is under the control of a group of French banks. Most, with the aid of skeleton crews, are being sailed to Gibraltar where they will be held for the time being. Some ships have been detained -- notably one that's been ceased in Dover for debt to the port's shipping agency -- and some are on their way.
* The other two are in Tahiti and due to the legal agreement Renaissance had with the French government (the cruise line received funding assistance for those two ships from France) they cannot sail off without permission. The ships, according to sources, have been seized by port authorities in Papeete, Tahiti, over $1 million in unpaid fuel bills.
* They may not need to, anyway, because reports indicate that R3 and R4, the ships that sail Tahiti (and were not part of the 8 that are being sent to Gibraltar), may resurface; Renaissance representatives are negotiating with possible financiers to resume sailing. Sources say an announcement could be made as early this week. This effort, according to the company's bankruptcy lawyers, is a front-burner project in terms of any possibility of getting the company up and running again.
*The banks now controlling Renaissance have said that crew will be paid for the month of September.
Offers for Renaissance Guests
Other cruise lines, like Silversea Cruises, Royal Caribbean and Celebrity Cruises are offering discounts and shipboard credits for displaced Renaissance Guests.
Silversea will reduce its published cruise-only fare by 100 percent of the Renaissance cruise-only fare on any new 2001 or 2002 Silversea voyage. Passengers must provide proof they had a Renaissance cruise booked and paid for to take advantage of the savings offer. Interested passengers can contact their travel agents or Silversea Cruises at (800) 774-9996.
Any guest with proof of a Renaissance passage who books a cruise on Royal Caribbean or Celebrity by October 31 will get an onboard credit that varies from $25 per guest for two - five night cruises, $50 for a week's voyage, and $75 for one lasting ten or more nights. Renaissance booking confirmations can be faxed to 1-800-RCCL-FAX to receive the shipboard credit.

Retired Boston University professor and historian Howard Zinn, author of the iconic "alternative" textbook, "A People's History of the United States," passed away on January 27, 2010, at the age of 87. He suffered a heart attack while traveling in Santa Monica, California.
A bombardier during World War II, Howard Zinn, while never calling himself a pacifist, came to view the world as a never-ending series of unnecessary and immoral wars. He was a leading critic of America's involvement in Vietnam. He even dared question the motives of "The Good War," which he actively participated in, by not allowing the countless atrocities committed during that time to go undocumented, even if World War II was fought for a noble cause. Howard Zinn merely raised the question of whether the ends always justify the means, even in the case of the second world war. His speeches and writings on that subject caused controversy, to say the least.
Dr. Zinn unapologetically supported civil disobedience. He believed deeply that the powers-that-be, whether in Washington, in corporate boardrooms, even on the Supreme Court, would never work to improve the everyday lives of Americans without constant pressure from the people themselves. The politician's job is to stay in power, the people's job is to ensure the politician uses that power to work for them.
In his autobiography, "You Can't Be Neutral on a Moving Train," Dr. Zinn wrote, "I wanted students to leave my classes not just better informed, but more prepared to relinquish the safety of silence, more prepared to speak up, to act against injustice wherever they saw it. This, of course, is a recipe for trouble."
But perhaps the most amazing constant throughout Zinn's life was his unfaltering faith in humanity and an eternal optimism that the people would always stand up and demand justice, and demand to be heard, no matter how daunting the climb may be.
Amazingly, whenever he spoke, Howard Zinn always had a smile on his face.
Because he never lost hope. And he will never be forgotten.
Rest in peace, Dr. Zinn.

Nominations sought for 5th annual Johana Knox Award
Published: Thursday, January 31, 2013 at 5:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Wednesday, January 30, 2013 at 5:39 p.m.
ORANGE CITY - Johana Knox lived in Orange City for 35 years and was known for her tireless devotion to children and those in need. Knox passed away in 2012, but left her handprints on the heart of the community with her lifelong passion for helping others.
To honor Knox's enduring spirit of volunteerism, Florida Hospital Fish Memorial Foundation will present the fifth annual Johana Knox Award on April 18 at The Club at Victoria Gardens, 1001 Garden Club Drive, DeLand.
This award will recognize, celebrate and encourage outstanding volunteers in Southwest Volusia.
DeBary resident Rani Merens was last year's award winner. Merens has lived with multiple sclerosis for the past 16 years and has not let her disability inhibit her from helping others. A talented artist, Merens paints portraits for people who have lost a loved one. She also paints portraits of dogs and donates 50 percent of the proceeds to an organization that trains dogs to assist those with special needs.
Nominations for this year's Johana Knox Award recipient will be accepted until Feb. 25. Applications for nominees are available via email at firstname.lastname@example.com or via phone at 386-917-5423.
"We encourage you to nominate the outstanding volunteer in your organization or family," said Debi McNabb, director of Florida Hospital Fish Memorial Foundation. "All nominees will receive free admission to the celebration in April, and all will be recognized."

From the Edge of the Continent
...musings of 'being human'
Mark McConnell
This book is a collection of stories – some of fiction, some from real life, but all written with an eye toward what it might be to 'be human'. There are stories of connections, of family bonds; stories of loss and triumph, stories of 'spirit'. Invariably any collection of stories that look to what it is to 'be human' might examine society and liberty, and here the author pulls no punches – but all are written with a compassion for the human being and his/her place in this wondrous world.

This note is addressing one of the letters to the editor labeled "Religion and the Military" written by MSgt. Mick Fulton. I thought he would like to know that there is an organization called MAAF "The Military Association of Atheists and Freethinkers". It's highly unknown.
My husband spent 8 years in the military (released in 1995) and we never heard of the organization. We discovered it about 2 years ago and were very shocked due to the military's position on religion. (Chaplains handed New Testaments out to all soldiers leaving for the Gulf War....My husband refused his, but they stuck it in a "care package" anyway).
I just thought that you could pass this information on to MSgt. Fulton and any others that are interested.
A Happy Reader!

New York Mets came close to first no-hitter against Miami Marlins three times
In the 8,020th game in franchise history, Johan Santana threw the Mets' first no-hitter Friday night. Before he hung the nine zeroes against the Cardinals, the Mets on 34 occasions had one-hitters. Three of those games came against the Marlins.
On June 17, 2003, Jae Weong Seo tossed the first 6 2/3 innings of a combined one-hitter with David Weathers and Armando Benitez. Juan Encarnacion logged the Marlins' lone hit in the game — a fifth-inning single.
Aaron Heilmanon April 15, 2005 went the distance in his one-hit shutout against the Marlins. The only knock he gave up was a Luis Castillo single in the fifth. Heilman is one 16 pitchers in Mets history that can boast at least one one-hit shutout.
Journeyman catcher Paul Hoover spoiled John Maine's no-hit bid on Sept. 29, 2007, beating out a dribbler to third in the eighth inning. Maine walked two and struck out 14 over 7 2/3 innings. Willie Collazo and Carlos Muniz combined on the final 1 1/3 hitless innings.

The Ox Ridge Hunt Club recently announced that Callari Auto Group: BMW, Mini, Volvo (Westport) and Fiat (Stamford) has been named the premiere sponsor for the upcoming 2013 Ox Ridge Charity Horse Show, scheduled for June 11-16.
The charity horse show features four-star jumpers and show-jumping exhibitions. This year's program will benefit Pegasus Therapeutic Riding, and also kicks off the 100-year anniversary of the Ox Ridge Hunt Club in 2014.
Callari is joined by other local business sponsors, including Garavel Chrysler Jeep Dodge Ram Norwalk, Moffly Media, the Carrington Charitable Foundation, Doubletree by Hilton Hotel Norwalk, Palmer's Catering, Stronghold Equine Equipment, Whole Foods of Darien, Southern Tent, Seedlings Foundation, Aden Brook/AgriSales, Whipstick Farm, Tracy Stables, Grand Prix Equine-Dr.Baus, Atlantic Construction, Lucky Lawn, O'Neill's Pub, Der Dau Boots, FW-PHA, Susan's Canine Training, Darien Electric, Meticulous Landscaping & Design, Jimmy's Southside Pub, Glen Liquors, and Sandy Hook Forge.
"The Darien community has supported our business for over 30 years, and sponsoring the charity horse show is our way of saying, 'Thank you,' and giving something back," said Pam Love, owner of Glen Liquors and Fine Wine, a family-owned and operated Darien-based liquor store founded in 1979. The Love family also owns Jimmy's Southside Tavern in Darien.
Sponsorship and advertising opportunities are still available, with packages ranging between $250 and $30,000, as well as VIP seating and group-table options.
The proceeds from this year's program will be donated to Pegasus Therapeutic Riding Program, a nonprofit organization. Founded at Ox Ridge Hunt Club in 1975, Pegasus provides equine-assisted activities to 225 students a year at four regional chapters, including its main equestrian facility, Pegasus Farm, in Brewster, N.Y. Students ages four and up participate in both therapeutic horseback riding and unmounted programs that offer a wide range of physical, social, cognitive and emotional benefits.

Building of Berlin Wall I
Program InformationSeries: A Moment in Time
Duration: 00:03:49
Year Produced: 2010
At the height of the Cold War, with tensions at a fevered pitch, the Soviet Union and its East German client state--in an act of self-preservation--built a wall around West Berlin.
A Moment in Time is a brief, exciting and compelling journey into the past. Created to excite and enlighten the public about the past, its relevance to the present and its impact on the future, A Moment In Time is a captivating historical narrative that is currently broadcast worldwide.For more information visit: http://amomentintime.com
Lead: At the height of the Cold War, with tensions at a fevered pitch, the Soviet Union and its East German client state--in an act of self-preservation--built a wall around West Berlin.
Intro.: A Moment in Time with Dan Roberts.
Content: The Cold War lasted from 1946 until the collapse of the Soviet Union in the early 1990s. For much of that time, the city of West Berlin was the cockpit of low-grade superpower rivalry. In the summer of 1961, events in Berlin threatened to spark a much wider conflict.
During the interwar period, prior to the Nazi takeover in 1933, Berlin was one of the loveliest, most cosmopolitan cities in Europe. Its center was repeatedly bombed in the closing years of World War II, reducing its handsome boulevards and parks to ruin. After the war, as punishment for its aggression, the victorious Allied powers divided Germany into four zones of roughly equal size, each administered by one of the allies: United States, Britain, France and the Soviet Union. Its capital city received like treatment.
As the years passed and it became clear that the Soviets had no intention of permitting the re-unification of Germany, the western allies formed West Germany and merged their zones in Berlin under a unified municipal government. Increasingly, West Germany--with its modified market economy--grew more and more prosperous. In contrast, East Germany with its command economy and heavily dependent on Soviet subsidies, slipped farther behind economically. Nowhere was the demonstrated contrast between the two systems more acute than in Berlin. Because work was plentiful and the payment in West German marks worth more, thousands of East Berliners crossed the border each day to work in West Berlin. They saw the marked difference and, during the 1950s, many East Berliners crossed the border and never looked back.
Next time: A line drawn.

In 2019 and this is probley the worst attempt of a regen name i have ever seen..
In 2019 and this is probley the worst attempt of a regen name i have ever seen..
Looks like a proper Georgian name according to this... what's wrong with it?
At first it may look unpronounceable, but I assure you - after few bottles of georgian wine you'll be fluent in all those dzgh's and shv's
Andrey Shitts, and Freedom Slabber, who's apparently 100% English, are much worse than this, and I'm only on the third season.
I've got one called Ollie Rattle.
Far too high a percentage of decent regens are strikers from what I've seen so far, regardless of how many you already have. Isn't the game supposed to generate some youngsters in positions you actually need them?
I have a Nigerian striker called Daddy Sheriff. What were the parents thinking?!
I have a Nigerian winger who had the pseudonym Daniel. Very original. Well, he's a great talent so i though i could just give him a nickname consisting of his full name. Then i saw his full name in his profile: Daniel Daniel.
I've seen a player called Lucky Sithole.
Had a French international called David David.
Not a bad one, but I had a very promising french right-back called 'Geronimo' once on FM2010. Amused me.
My favourite was "Peter Parker", one of those entirely made up and crap regens that gets stuck in your squad screen if you don't select another goalkeeper for a friendly.
Signed him, and then constantly used the "Everybody gets one" quote from Family Guy as he blundered about the pitch for the reserves, picking up more sendings off than successful tackles. In fairness, he was an awful goalkeeper, nevermind a defensive midfielder. Still, I got a few laughs out of it!
in FM11 I saw a Brazilian guy who was named Fernando Bob. I found it to be quite amusing.
In Fm10 I had a regen from Africa named Sunday Salami. Made me chuckle.
I bought a French regen striker called Timmy Trim.
Not sure why it amuses me but it does.
I had a dutch/congolese DM called 'Bigger Wangu'.... Made me laugh when I got the headline 'Wangu makes big impression'
I once saw a 'John John' and 'Vasco Vasco' on FM 11. Very amusing.
On the subject of African regens, the current Nigerian president is Goodluck Jonathan, so any African regens with crazy names should be quite realistic!
Wang Gang from China, real player.
Nigerian names are the best though.
I signed 'Sunday Monday' for my Cukaricki team, but left before I could play him.
Found a regen CB from the US called Dylan Goldtwat. Not sure what to think of that.
I've got a class regen for my Arsenal side called "Dogan Dogan", needless to say I've nicknamed him "Dogan".
I see a lot of players with the same first name and last name - in my current FM08 game with random names, I played against both Dean Dean and Martin Martin in the first season in BSN.
Koc Suckru, a Turkish regen from FML will always be my favourite

During my time here at the JTEL Winter School 2011 in La Clusaz, France I had the opportunity to reflect about my Ph.D. thesis. Tomorrow I will have to give a simulated thesis defense including the presentation of the overall context of the thesis and my overall research question. While the latter seems to be an easy task, I am rather heavily thinking about the first part. My thesis is placed in the middle of knowledge work in the research domain and I was wondering what you would comment on the statement:
Researchers are the archetype of knowledge workers.
For me this so obvious that it is even hard to argument for it. If you look at the typical job descriptions of researcher positions, they have to create new knowledge using a multitude of methods. Researchers are carrying out non-linear and non-routine tasks that require a lot of cognitive effort, combination and recontextualization. From my point of view that's exactly how I would describe knowledge workers.
What is your take on this? Do you agree to the statement or do you think this is pure rubbish?

We chose the theme of "Transparency and Transformation" deliberately.
Transparency is accelerating daily and changing people's relationships with each other, as well as with the institutions that reflect and shape our world. The changes are coming with dizzying speed, and they both enable and complicate the drive to create a more just and sustainable world.
Transparency is a powerful force, but it does not automatically lead to transformative outcomes. And the urgency of transformation is growing.

n Next weekend's Region 23 Tournament can't get here soon enough for the Itawamba Community College offense.
On Saturday, the Indian bats capped off a dominating three-day performance in a 17-6 throttling of Holmes at the MACJC State Tournament in Raymond, giving ICC its fourth state championship in school history.
In three tournament wins, ICC scored 47 runs, including the tourney-high 17 against Holmes. In the championship game, eight ICC starters registered multiple hits and the Indians collected 19 on the day. The Indians outscored Holmes 13-0 in the first three innings.
Justin Bryant and Nate Coleman led the way with three hits each and Josh Chism delivered his fifth home run of the year.
With the win, ICC improved to 43-11 on the season.
The state title is ICC's first since head coach Rick Collier's first season in 2003. That year, the Indians advanced all the way to the NJCAA World Series.
This season, ICC will have to advance through the Region 23 Tourney, which is hosted by No. 1 ranked LSU Eunice and begins Thursday.
ICC will play Hinds in the opening round; Holmes will meet LSU-Eunice.

EUGENE, Ore. – All good things must come to an end, and on Friday night at PK Park, Illinois snapped No. 17 Oregon's 10-game win streak with a 2-1 victory at the Nike College Showcase.
Right-hander Kevin Johnson (2-1) tossed a one-run complete game, holding the Ducks (10-2) to a season-low four hits while striking out five.
Oregon right-hander Alex Keudell (1-2) was the tough-luck loser, allowing just two runs in eight innings of work. He surrendered six hits and struck out six.
The Fighting Illini (5-5) took a 2-1 lead in the top of the sixth as Jordan Parr drove a two-out triple into deep center field, and Reid Roper came around to score from first. It was Roper who kept the inning alive with a two-out single.
Oregon took the first lead of the game in the second as Ryon Healy hammered Johnson's first offering into left field. Kyle Garlick then knocked him in with a one-out double to left.
Illinois evened the score in the top of the fourth as Davis Hendrickson's fielder's choice allowed Roper to score.
In the first game of the day at PK Park, despite surrendering four runs in the bottom of the ninth, Connecticut held on for the 8-7 upset of No. 22 Oklahoma.
The Nike College Showcase resumes tomorrow with the first game of the day at 11 a.m. as West Virginia and Illinois square off. The Ducks will play the final two games of the day, hosting West Virginia at 3 pm and No.22 Oklahoma at 7pm.
Notes: The Ducks four hits were a new season low…in Oregon's only other loss this season, UO's offense was also held to one run (4-1 at Hawai'i on Feb. 17).

text: Jan 29, 2013 00:54 Advocate story Comments Stronger winds for some may mean weaker winds for others. Nature Climate Change reports that coastal areas in Australia, Indonesia and Antarctica could be hard-hit by stronger winds and waves because of a warming world. Wind and waves in the Northern Hemisphere could lessen and residents of coastal regions, the fishing industry and ecosystems would notice the effects. Experts studied five different climate-change models and extrapolated data, predicting an increase in westerly winds in the Southern hemisphere, resulting in stronger, higher and more frequent waves. An opposite effect was forecast in the Northern Hemisphere, with high-pressure systems in the Pacific basin shifting northward, thus reducing wind and waves in the North Atlantic. The effects could be less beach erosion, calmer seas and less wave-power-generation. Fastcast: Still Springy. Get The Advocate in your inbox Subscribe

In our quest to understand trading options for income, we rely on the Probability Model to determine where to place our short strikes for both the Strangle and Iron Condor (IC). Just how accurate is the Probability Model given a high IV (implied volatility) environment is the focus of this article.
A short Strangle is an undefined risk option strategy in which an OTM (out of the money) Call option is sold while concurrently selling an OTM Put option, resulting in premium received. The max gain is the premium; the max loss cannot be determined which is why this is called an undefined risk trade. A one lot Strangle requires just 2 options to be sold (1 option per leg). When trading low cost underlyings, like ETFs, the Strangle offers the opportunity to bring in more premium than is practical with an Iron Condor (IC).
A short Iron Condor (IC) is a defined risk option strategy composed of the following: an OTM (out of the money) Put credit spread and an OTM Call credit spread, both within the same option chain. A credit spread is a vertical option strategy composed of a short OTM option plus a long further OTM option. The capital at risk is the difference between the short and long strikes less the premium received. A one lot IC requires 4 options (2 options per leg).
A short Chicken Iron Condor is a defined risk option strategy composed of the following: a NTM (near the money) Put credit spread and a NTM Call credit spread, both within the same option chain. The objective of this strategy is to collect 45 to 50 percent of the width of the strikes. The capital at risk is the difference between the short and long strikes less the premium received. A one lot Chicken IC requires 4 options (2 options per leg).
To determine how accurate the Probability Model is, Tasty Trade recently conducted a test over 5 years using the following ETFs: EWW, GLD, IWM, SPY, and TLT. The test criteria was as follows: enter a trade on the first trading day of each month if the IV Rank is greater than 50; the DTE (days till expiration) should be around 45 days; and hold the position through expiration. The Strangle and IC (5 point wide spreads) should have their short strikes at 90 percent OTM (1.25 standard deviation) for a POP (probability of profit) around 80 percent. The Chicken IC (2 point wide spreads) should have its short strikes located at the first strike just OTM to collect between $0.90 and $1.00.
Our expectation for the Strangles and 5 point ICs is that the percent winners would fall around 90 percent. For the Chicken IC, our expectation is 50 percent.
The results: with 70 total trades, the Strangle had 93 percent winners, the IC had 91 percent, and the Chicken IC had 54 percent. It is interesting to note that the Strangle had an average ROC (return on capital) of 5.85 percent vs. 5.49 percent for the IC vs. 8.46 percent for the Chicken IC. The largest loss was the Strangle at -$560 vs. -$462 for the IC vs. -$108 for the Chicken IC.
In conclusion, this would indicate that the Probability Model in high IV environments is quite accurate. I would question the average ROC of the Strangle, since it is not clear whether Tasty Trade used a 1 SD (standard deviation) measure rather than the more appropriate reduction in buying power (or margin requirement). In addition, testing shorter periods (for example, a 7 DTE) would reveal (from our own testing) a higher ROC and P&L.

The comment box really ought to be a HAPPY place and I have attempted to regulate the site for maximum enjoyment of everyone.

A judge ordered R&B singer Chris Brown to remain in jail until he returns to court on April 23rd.
Brown was kicked out of a court ordered rehab facility in Malibu, CA on Friday. The details of the eviction were not revealed until recently.
The 24 year old already has an unrelated trial set for April 17th addressing an assault in Washington D.C., last October.
This recent jail sentence was due to Brown's violation of the internal rules at the facility. According to TMZ, Brown violated three internal rules:
"...Chris was booted from rehab Friday for violating three internal rules at the facility -- most significantly ... violating a rule specifically for Chris -- stay at least 2 feet away from every woman in the facility. He was seen touching a woman's elbow and hands."
TMZ, who broke the story, goes on to say:
"He also violated the rule requiring him to submit to a random drug test. He belatedly had a change of heart and came up clean, but the initial refusal was a violation."
The saga continues.

Febrile seizures
Tamara Zach is a pediatric neurologist on staff at Banner Thunderbird Medical Center. Her office can be reached at (480) 412-7400.
Question: What is a febrile seizure and how I should react if my child experiences one of these seizures?
Answer: Febrile seizures occur in children when their body temperature suddenly spikes, typically from some fever-inducing infection. During a febrile seizure, children often lose consciousness and experience full body shakes. The majority of these seizures last only a minute or two, but can range in duration from a few seconds to 10 minutes or more.
Febrile seizures are the most common type of seizures in humans, usually occurring in children between the ages of 6 months and 5 years. Roughly one in 25 children will experience at least one febrile seizure. While it can be incredibly frightening for parents to witness their child having a seizure, the majority of these seizures are harmless. Simple febrile seizures do not cause any damage to the brain, lead to learning disabilities, or decrease intelligence, according to research studies.
A febrile seizure can be hard to predict, especially since it may be the first sign that a child is sick. So, it's important that parents do not blame themselves for not preventing these seizures from occurring. The best way to prevent a febrile seizure is to control your child's fever by giving ibuprofen or acetaminophen as directed by your pediatrician.
If you recognize or suspect a seizure, make sure your child is in an area where he/she won't get hurt from thrashing around, and do not put anything in the child's mouth. Instead, place the child on his/her side so that the child doesn't choke on his/her tongue, saliva or vomit. Also, try to time the seizure. If it lasts longer than three minutes, call 911. If the seizure stops after a couple of minutes and the child is conscious, call your pediatrician. Always let your pediatrician know if your child experiences a seizure.
Please keep in mind that febrile seizures do not indicate epilepsy. By and large, children who experience febrile seizures are no more likely to develop epilepsy than the general population.

On Dec 4, Coll Thrush talks 'Native Seattle'
On Wednesday, December 4, Coll Thrush will give a talk at the Olympic Sculpture park at 7 pm. The talk will be on representations of indigenous life in Seattle's civic imagery, art and monuments, and look at issues raised by the use of First Nations icons in the Vancouver Olympics of 2010.
Thrush is the author of Native Seattle: Histories from the Crossing-Over Place (University of Washington Press) and the co-editor of and co-editor of Phantom Pasts, Indigenous Presence: Native American Ghosts and Hauntings in North American History and Culture (University of Nebraska Press) (which sounds fitting for this Halloweek!). He is currently a visiting fellow at the Institute for Historical Research at the University of London and an Eccles Fellow in North American Studies at the British Library, working on "Indigenous London," a history of that city through the experiences of indigenous persons from the British Empire's territories. He is an associate professor of history at the University of British Columbia.

These days, plenty of hotels across the globe are going green, incorporating features like energy-efficient windows and low-flow toilets and instituting regular eco-friendly practices like collecting rainwater and using all-natural cleaning products. But it's Earth Day, so I thought I'd highlight a few of the hotels I've found that are going the extra mile and rewarding guests for also getting in on the act. Beyond just the basics like asking guests not to insist on fresh towels every day, these hotels are helping them get involved in efforts and activities that put the environment front and center.
Los Suenos Marriott Ocean & Golf Resort
As part of this Costa Rica hotel's Red Macaw Project, which strives to preserve the natural habitat surrounding the property, guests can take part in the complimentary Reforest the Rainforest initiative. Through the program, interested guests can take native almond tree saplings that have been donated by the nearby Carara National Park and plant them in a specified area along the golf course, with the goal of boosting the surrounding 1,100-acre rainforest that is home to more than 150 species of animals, including the endangered Red Macaw. Herradura, Costa Rica. www.marriott.com/hotels/travel/sjols-los-suenos-marriott-ocean-and-golf-resort
InterContinental San Francisco
This City by the Bay hotel's LEED by Example program not only celebrates and informs guests about its own green achievements, but encourages them to go green during their stay. For instance, they can save up to 10 percent off the rate of their room if they take part in any of the following: reusing towels and linens; showing a used public transportation stub; walking 10,000 steps per day, as measured by a complimentary pedometer provided by the hotel; or using the ecoMODE button on their in-room thermostat throughout their stay. The InterContinental San Francisco is also the first LEED Gold certified hotel to partner with Zipcar in offering their guests Toyota Prius plug-in hybrid cars to tool around town in. Guests must sign up to be a Zipcar member first, but in celebration of the partnership, they can join for just $50 (instead of the usual $85) by using the promotion code "intercon50" when registering. San Francisco, California. www.intercontinentalsanfrancisco.com
JW Marriott Cancun Resort & Spa and CasaMagna Marriott Cancun Resort
These sister Mexico resorts situated side-by-side on a stretch of beach not far from the Maya ruins of Chichen Itza participate in the Sea Turtle Protection Plan that saves, on average, 3,000 endangered baby sea turtles each year. During nesting season (June through September), hotel guests can volunteer to work alongside staffers in making sure the newly hatched baby turtles make it across the sand to their forever home. Cancun, Mexico. www.marriott.com/hotels/travel/cunjw-jw-marriott-cancun-resort-and-spa, www.marriott.com/hotels/travel/cunmx-casamagna-marriott-cancun-resort
Bucuti & Tara Beach Resorts
This idyllic Aruba complex featuring the Bucuti Wing and the Tara Beach Suites is owned and managed by Ewald Biemans, who has long been lauded by the hospitality industry for his many environmental efforts. As you can imagine, Bucuti's sustainability initiatives are many, and guests are invited to get involved, too, by purchasing renewable energy credits to help offset their carbon footprint, judging one of the resort's recycled crafts contests, joining hotel staffers for the monthly beach cleanup, or even, for guests living outside the European Union, adopting one of the stray dogs or cats that roam the island. Visitors to Bucuti are also given a canteen to refill throughout their stay to help cut down on the number of plastic water bottles used. Eagle Beach, Aruba. www.bucuti.com
Shore Hotel
Beyond its innovative green design—think recycled material construction, a solar-heated pool, drought-resistant plants—this chic Santa Monica, California, boutique property supports sustainability through guest-centric initiatives like the Green Clean program, which allows a $10 discount on the room rate to anyone who opts out of the daily towel and bed service. The Shore even employs its own Green Concierge, who can instruct guests on where to buy eco-friendly clothes, grab a shot of fair-trade espresso, or reserve a hybrid taxi. For those who book the hotel's Car-Free Package, aimed at reducing auto traffic and emissions, they receive a bike tour of Santa Monica, along with a dining certificate to a Santa Monica Pier restaurant. And from now through Mother's Day, you can also take advantage of the Mother Earth promotion, which rewards any guests who opt in to the Green Clean program with a complimentary breakfast in bed for mom, along with a recyclable shopping tote. Santa Monica, California. www.shorehotel.com
Westin St. John Resort
This 47-acre retreat is located just 10 minutes from beautiful Virgin Islands National Park, where, through the hotel's Spring Into Giving Back program, charitable guests can volunteer part of their day in the sun to not only learn about the park, but help preserve it for years to come by maintaining trails and runs, removing debris along the coastline, and other efforts. As a reward, they are presented with a $100 resort credit that can be used back at the hotel towards everything from meals to spa treatments. St. John, U.S. Virgin Islands. www.westinresortstjohn.com

I recently revisited one of the best vintage spots in Chicago and it was truly unforgettable. Here are my top reasons why:
Beehive Chicago put on a vintage fashion show, Beehive in Bloom, which featured over 25+ looks. We saw everything from 70s style jumpsuits, swimsuits from the 60s, rompers, eveningwear, vacation wear, and 50s style sundresses just screaming red lips and Rock-a-Billy.
The vintage stores that took place in the fashion show were: Take 2 Vintage, Lost Girls Vintage, Imaginary Girl Jewelry and Vintage (handmade jewelry only), Cat's Pyjamas Vintage + Ephemera, Leah Onomatopoeia Vintage, and Poly Golightly Vintage.
VIP Status for Moi = Goodie Bag
Thankfully and luckily I was able to achieve VIP status at the fashion show. I received a super cute goodie bag filled with all kinds of treats. A few of the goodies included a handmade broach made by Imaginary Girl, a vintage handkerchief from Marthette Vintage Rental, a small journal, aromatherapy, and flower seeds (good for my green thumb). Not to mention, a coupon from my VIP hook-up Leah Onomatopoeia and other gift certificates from Lost Girls, Take2Vintage, and Chicago Avenue Salon (the salon that did the models' hair and makeup for the fashion show) were also in the goodie bag.
Need I say more!? Okay well I will say more… The fashion show started with a performance by The Janes. The Janes are Chicago's only authentic 1960s style go-go troupe! The go-go dancers performed to various 45s and other retro music from the 60s.
Beehive Chicago's 8,000 sq. ft. loft houses 10 unique vintage vendors. These vendors sell anything and everything, from furniture and home décor, to clothing, accessories, and memorabilia from past-times. The 10 vendors include:
- Leah Onomatopoeia Vintage
- Take 2 Vintage
- Poly Golightly Vintage
- Cat's Pyjamas Vintage + Ephemera
- Imaginary Girl Jewelry and Vintage
- Yetti Treasures
- Marthette Vintage Rental
- Lost Girls Vintage
- South Loop Loft Collection
- Tweed Creative Collection
Now for my final reason, all I can say is CHRISTIAN DIOR. I happened to score a vintage, Christian Dior, cross-body, logo pattern bag from Lost Girls Vintage. Lost Girls Vintage carries a large selection of vintage, designer leather goods, i.e.) purses, shoes, handbags, satchels, etc... If you covet these types of items, Lost Girls Vintage is definitely for you.
Needless to say, I left Beehive Chicago with more than just things to take home. I had a great time at Beehive in Bloom. I took a lot of great photos (check out the accompanying slideshow), and I also had a great time with my mom (my guest of honor). The experience and nostalgia that surrounds you at Beehive makes for more than just physically attending, it allows you to make memories. Places like Beehive are the reason you own conversation pieces and have conversation starters. I urge everyone to check out this amazing loft! It is a perfect weekend activity.
For more information on Beehive Chicago:
Beehive Chicago is an indoor vintage market located on a third floor loft in East Garfield Park, at 2958 W. Carroll Street, Suite 3S, Chicago, Illinois. Beehive is open every Saturday from 11:00 AM to 5:00 PM and by appointment.
For more information on the Janes:
Hire The Janes to dance at your next event! The girls can perform choreographed routines to recorded music, or improv the night away with a DJ or a live band! E-mail email@example.com for booking inquiries.
The girls also teach aerobics classes (leave your boots at home) at the Flamenco Arts Center on Western & Grace. Classes are at 7:30 PM on Mondays & 6:00 PM on Tuesdays. The one-hour class will leave you sweating, with a complete routine to take home! $12 per drop-in or buy a 6-class punch card for $60.

Working with a hospitalist
Kathryn Perkins, MD, is the Chief Medical Officer at Banner Thunderbird Medical Center.
Question: What is a hospitalist?
Answer: A hospitalist is a medical practitioner whose primary focus is to care for patients in the hospital setting. Hospitalists complete med school and usually specialize in internal medicine, family practice or pediatrics. They might be members of a medical practice, or they may cover for one or several physicians independently. Hospitalists may sometimes be hired to handle on-call services for your physician after hours or weekends and holidays. So you may have contact with them if you need assistance after hours.
Question: Why isn't my regular physician coming to see me at the hospital?
Answer: Most of the medical care you receive is in your primary care physician's office. Because the hospitalist is in the hospital all day, your doctor can spend more time in his office (which, consequently, often reduces the time you have to wait for an appointment). Has one of your doctor's appointments ever been interrupted or cancelled because your doctor was called to the hospital to handle an acute question or medical emergency? Your primary care physician handles issues coming at him/her from many different directions, so the less time he is pulled away, the better he is able to concentrate on you when you are in his office.
The hospitalist has the ability to communicate with your regular physician by phone or electronically as often as is necessary. Think of the hospitalist as a consulting specialist in hospital care that assists your primary care provider to ensure to provide the best possible care when you are hospitalized.
When you are discharged from the hospital, the hospitalist makes efforts to communicate the details of your hospital stay with your primary provider. The hospital provides medical records that address the hospitalization, treatment needs, diet, medication changes and, if necessary, the need for further testing.
Question: What if I also see specialists?
Answer: When your medical needs call for specialty care, the hospitalist work closely with specialists you have already or, if needed, consults a specialist that is a member of the hospital's medical staff. Again, because the hospitalist is at the hospital, the communication with you and your specialist is usually more timely and efficient. The specialist's recommendations can be carried out with less delay.

Pepperdine is 3-3 after going 2-1 at its home tournament last weekend. The Waves swept Rice and Eastern Washington before falling to Missouri in four.

The Waves are hitting .283 as a team, averaging 13.60 kills, 1.00 aces, 12.15 digs and 2.58 blocks per set. Junior middle blocker Kim Hill leads the team with 3.85 kps, while three others are also averaging more than two kps. Sophomore middle Victoria Adelhelm is second with 2.80 kps to go along with a team-best 0.95 bps, junior outside hitter Lilla Frederick is third with 2.65 kps and second with 2.65 dps and freshman outside Emily Cook is fourth with 2.58 kps. Freshman Kellie Woolever handles the setting duties and is averaging 11.75 assists per set, while junior Stevi Robinson is the libero and averages 4.10 dps. Nina Matthies is in her 28th year as Pepperdine's head coach and has a record of 513-308. The Waves return 11 letterwinners and five starters from last year's team that went 16-11 and placed third in the West Coast Conference.
The Bruins and the Waves have met at least once a year since their rivalry began in 1976. UCLA leads the all-time series 49-11 and has won five straight, including the last two at Pauley Pavilion. Last year in Malibu on Sept. 16, the Bruins lost the first set but claimed a four-set victory. Lainey Gera led UCLA with 18 digs, as the Bruins hit .270 as a team and won the final three sets 25-14, 25-15, 25-22 after dropping the opener 26-24. In the last meeting in Westwood on Nov. 25, 2008, the Bruins again won in four after dropping the opening set. Katie Camp had 12 kills and seven blocks, while Gera posted 17 digs. The Bruins are 21-5 all-time at home against the Waves. Each of the last eight matches have gone at least four sets, with four of them going the distance.
The Roadrunners have dropped their first seven matches of the season, which includes a three-set sweep at Arizona last Saturday. Bakersfield is hitting .116 as a team, averaging 9.68 kills, 1.48 aces, 11.56 digs and 1.44 blocks per set. Junior outside hitter Lindy DeGeare is tops on the team with 2.92 kps, while freshman outside Haleigh Haratyk is second with 2.23 kps and 2.68 dps. The Roadrunners have two setters, junior Danielle Gong (4.64 assists per set) and freshman Samantha Whittington (3.76). Sophomore Lauren Holderman leads the team with 3.67 dps. John Price is in his 14th year as the Roadrunners' head coach and holds a record of 232-145. Bakersfield, a Division I independent, went 14-17 last season and returns four starters and seven letterwinners from that team. Thursday's matchup will be the first time the Bruins have faced CSU Bakersfield.
