Hi I've got a problem here confusing me, and thought Server Fault community could help.
I've noticed a continuous traffic (1-10 Kbit/s) being generated on my desktop. It was running on Windows XP. I checked up all the processes, scanned for viruses and malware. That was not the case! Even when netstat shows nothing but localhosts, the traffic is being used.
Then I switched to Ubuntu 10.10, which is also installed on the same computer. And I was shocked to see the same traffic consumption here on System Monitor. I ran the Firestarter firewall, which shows network activity with no active connections established!
I start to think there's some kind of problem on hardware level, though it sounds ridiculous - network adapter problem causing continuous low traffic... I ran out of ideas!
If you know what to do or have any ideas on the issue, please help! Thank you!

What Vegans May Be Missing...
Certainly a plant-based diet which minimizes animal products is the best approach for losing weight, preventing and reversing disease, and optimizing health. However, those following a vegetarian or vegan diet, and those not consuming fatty fish like salmon each week, should be aware of recent studies that suggest they may be deficient in a critical and essential nutrient, especially EPA & DHA, the long-chain omega-3 fatty acids.
Alpha-linolenic acid (ALA) is an omega-3 fat and is the precursor of the longer chain omega 3 fats eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA). EPA and to a lesser extent DHA can be made in the body from ALA. Primary sources of these fatty acids are certain fish and seafood.
As a result, vegetarian, and especially vegan, diets provide little EPA and DHA directly. A recent study reviewed the varying dietary fat intake across vegetarians, vegans, omnivores, and semi omnivores and its impact on essential omega-3 fatty acid availability in tissues. It concluded that vegetarians were left with reduced levels of omega-3 and recommended that they consume additional direct sources of EPA and DHA, regardless of age or gender, for physical, mental and neurological health benefits.1
In addition, ALA, EPA, and DHA are especially important for the prevention of certain cancers, particularly those of the breast and colon, and possibly of the uterus and the skin, and are likely to reduce the risk of postpartum depression, manic-depressive psychosis, dementias, Parkinson's, hypertension, toxemia, diabetes, and to a certain extent, age-related macular degeneration.2
Although vegetarian diets are generally lower in total fat, saturated fat, and cholesterol than are non-vegetarian diets and may appear to offer cardiovascular health benefits due to higher intakes of antioxidants and fiber, the lack of direct EPA or DHA dietary sources may cause an adverse effect.3,4
With all of this documented research, it is not surprising that when I draw blood for fatty acid analysis on many of my patients, I find that a large percentage of individuals who do not eat fish or seafood regularly do not have optimal levels of DHA, even those eating walnuts and flaxseeds on a regular basis. I often see patients eating otherwise excellent diets with itchy dry skin, seborrheac dermatitis and other signs of DHA deficiency.
Although, there are some vegans and vegetarians regularly consuming walnuts and flaxseeds (which supply adequate ALA) may produce enough DHA on their own and may not require supplementation. However, because this issue is so imperative to their health it should be confirmed with a blood test before assuming that the conversion level is adequate. In order to assure optimal production of DHA fat, without recommending that the consumption of fish or refined fish oils, I recommend taking a vegetable sourced DHA supplement. DHA alone can deliver the same benefits of fish oil, since the intake of DHA can cause a natural retro-conversion to EPA internally.
Laboratory cultivated DHA is made from microalgae and is a pure form of DHA without environmental contamination. It is grown in the laboratory, not collected in the wild. It has no mercury or other toxins, which is a concern even for non-vegans who are cautious about eating fish or seafood.
DHA has been shown to protect against dementia, depression, inflammatory diseases, attention deficit and hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), allergies, and to offer significant benefits for overall cardiovascular health.
There are other problems with consuming fish oils. The main problem is that the fat turns rancid as it sits on store shelves. As a result, many people complain of burping, indigestion, a foul taste, and long lasting fish-breath. I have also observed that rancidity of this fish fat can place a stress on the liver. Patients of mine have had blood tests showing abnormal liver function when consuming fish oil in significant amounts and then have had these tests return to normal when the fish oils were stopped.
Fortunately, vegetable derived DHA, from microalgae, is an alternative. However, even algae derived DHA can become rancid if not cared for properly. We go through great lengths to deliver the purest and freshest DHA product available on the market today. My DHA Purity is manufactured under strict conditions to ensure purity. Every step of the way, from production to packaging, transportation and storage, this product is kept refrigerated and handled to ensure optimal freshness.
In conjunction with a high nutrient, plant-based diet, I advise all people take a daily DHA supplement from a clean source. Early in life, DHA is supplied via the placenta and from breast milk. While adequate DHA is particularly important for pregnant and nursing women and young children, it is beneficial for all ages!

A study published yesterday in the journal Clinical Chemistry, suggests boosting vitamin D levels could improve health for people who smoke. Researchers say low vitamin D boosts a person's chance of developing a variety of tobacco related cancers.
The finding, published in the journal of AACC, is the first to show higher tobacco related cancer rates associated with low vitamin D.
Smokers are at high risk for lung, bladder, cervical, head, neck, esophageal, stomach, kidney and liver cancer, in addition to myeloid leukemia.
Vitamin D might neutralize tobacco carcinogens
Researchers for the study say it might be that vitamin D has the ability to neutralize the cancer causing effects of chemicals in tobacco smoke. Data also suggests tobacco might influence metabolism and function of the so-called sunshine vitamin.
"Our analyses show that the association between lower concentrations of plasma vitamin D and higher risk of cancer may be driven by tobacco-related cancer as a group, which has not been shown before," stated author Børge G. Nordestgaard, MD, DMSc, in the paper.
For the study, Shoaib Afzal and colleagues followed 10,000 Danes from the general population for up to 28 years who were part of the Danish Cancer Registry; collecting blood samples in 1981-1983 to measure vitamin D levels.
Among the participants, 1081 developed tobacco related cancer.
The finding showed smokers who developed cancer had lower levels of vitamin D of 14.8 ng/mL, versus the higher 16.4 ng/mL, which was the average of all participants.
Vitamin D can be obtained by taking supplements, from sunshine and foods that include salmon, tuna, flounder, mushrooms, eggs, fortified cereals and milk, orange juice, beef liver, pork and ricotta cheese. Speak with your doctor if you think your diet, lifestyle, tobacco use or underlying health conditions could be causing low levels of the vitamin.
The authors suggest more studies to find out if vitamin D could protect the health of smokers. The investigation only found benefits from higher vitamin D levels for tobacco related cancers, the authors note.

Meet Harper:
Juuust kidding, just kidding.
Meet Harper:
The beautiful baby boy, blessed to have Lindsey and Dan as parents. For their first little one, they're naturals, swaddling that little guy up like a pro for his close ups and cleaning the messes he leaves in his wake. (As I look on with very round eyes.)
Lindsey and Dan's wedding, if you may remember, was the very first I photographed back in 2009. It was so fantastic getting to see them both again, now in their new roles as parents, and it seems only fitting that my first newborn session would be theirs. They'll always be dear to me as the first ones who took a chance with the 21 year old girl, excited but beyond nervous, with the Canon glued to her eyeball.
A wink, some bubbles, and a bit of tongue all while looking completely adorable? This kid's a pro at multitasking.
And a great, big congrats to the happy family. 🙂

All three quakes on Monday were centered roughly one hundred fifty miles south of Padang, in the Sumatra region of Indonesia. They were approximately five hundred miles west of Jakarta and a hundred miles west of Bengkulu.
Today the shaking returned with two aftershocks hitting again closer to Padang, registering over 5.0 magnitude. At only one hundred miles from Padang, the aftershocks registered a depth of 16 miles below the earth's surface.

First All-Gay Cruise Marred ByDrug Bust
- 11
Thu 29th Mar, 2007 in Local News
Australia's first all-gay cruise has been marred by a series of drug busts before the boat left the shore after several people were arrested in Sydney in possession of drugs.
The NaviGAYtion Cruise was scheduled to leave Sydney yesterday afternoon to take off to sea for three days. But not without a bit of drama first.
Police and sniffer dogs inspected all passengers before boarding and five people were detected with drugs on them.
A 38 year-old Surry Hills man was found with 20 tablets and charged with supply, while three others – a 26 year-old from Wantirna in Victoria, 35 year-old from Glenmore, Victoria and a 37 year-old from Darlinghurst – were charged with possession of GHB, speed and LSD. A fifth man, 55 years-old, was cautioned for possessing a gram of cannabis.
The cruise was always going to be targeted, after the recent high-profile operations at Azure and Mardi Gras. Sergeant John Cox from the Marine Area Command said the drug dog operation was launched based on "risk assessment and intelligence".
"Police will continue to conduct similar operations based on information we gather and we will continue to arrest and charge any person in possession of illicit drugs."
Compulsory sniffer dogs inspecting all passengers were introduced by P&O on all cruises leaving Australia after the death of passenger Dianne Brimble due to a GHB overdose in September 2002.
Despite the shaky start to the three days of cruising, the virtually sold out NaviGAYtion cruise was still able to leave around 6pm last night.

The "Stretch to Win" book by Ann and Chris Frerdericks is now for sale at CrossFit Scottsdale. This book on self-stretching and flexibility from the creators of the Stretch to Win system and Fascial Stretch Therapy™ is the best book ever written on stretching – period.
As mentioned in Kevin J. Kula's CrossFit Journal article, "Moving Beyond Muscle", Fascial Stretch Therapy™ or FST™ for short is a fascially-based method of stretching that lengthens the connective tissue while tractioning the joint capsule. Research shows that 47% of flexibility potential is in the joint capsule itself. What this means is that the right stretching will not only be more effective, but will require less time.
The Stretch to Win system is based around the 'core-four' stretches for the lower body – the hip flexors, gluts, ql, and lats. Stretching these four areas pre-workout is essential for CrossFitters. Tight hip flexors can inhibit the gluts, and as Greg Glassman has pointed out that all athletic movement requires powerful hip extension. So by stretching your hip flexors you are increasing the ability of the gluts to perform, increasing your work capacity. The psoas (major hip-flexor) is attached through the connective tissue to the diaphragm so hip flexor restrictions affect breathing, putting you at a disadvantage even before you workout.
Ten Principles of the Stretch to Win System
• Synchronize your breathing with your movement. • Tune your nervous system to current conditions. • Follow a logical anatomical order. • Make gains in your range of motion without pain. • Stretch the fascia, not just the muscle. • Use multiple planes of movement. • Target the entire joint. • Use traction for maximal lengthening. • Facilitate body reflexes for optimal results. • Adjust your stretching to your present goals.
Kevin will be giving personal instruction, in-house, on the stretches in the book to help you transform your flexibility. Pickup a copy today and start utilizing the 'core-four' stretches at home. The pre-workout sign-up sheet is out in the gym, Kevin will help you with your at home stretching and stretch you out pre-workout, take advantage now.

Video Question
My current video card is a 128 MB Intel(R) 82915G/GV/910GL Express Chipset Family. Quite frankly, I've no idea if it has the T&L capability required and I'm not keen on wasting $30 if I can avoid it. Can anyone tell me for sure if I do or don't have it, or is there a demo or similar program I could get of Battlefront that would be able to tell me if I can run it?
Thanks in advance!
Oh, I also wanted to add that my PC was able to run the Republic Commando demo with no difficulties.
Sorry, but your chipset seems not to manage T&L...

On another sellout crowd
"First, and most importantly, it was our third consecutive sellout. The fever is starting to grow here in Fresno. We are 17-3 in Fresno and 13 in a row overall. Some real positive things are happening in our city with football. I hope that's the trend we continue in order to make the stadium bigger. I think you need to fill your stadium before you can talk about expanding. That's a really big part of it. There's only maybe 1,000 or 1,500 left for the Hawai'i game, so were looking at maybe our fourth straight sellout of the season. I think that speaks very well for the commitment the Valley is making to Fresno State football. Hopefully, we are giving them the type of football the can be proud of. I wish we could take this stadium with us when we go on the road."
"I just want to thank the people of the San Joaquin Valley for supporting us. I think that's a great, great accomplishment that we are filling that stadium every week."
On the WAC
"This is the first time we've had as many teams in our conference getting votes. We've got TCU at ninth in the nation, and UTEP got 14 votes in the coaches' poll. There is some recognition of UTEP, which is well warranted by the way they've played."
On the upcoming game against Hawai'i
"I find it very hard to believe this is a 1-6 football team. I think they've got some very good players, especially on defense. Last year, that defensive front...a lot of those guys are the same as they were last year. They are a physical group. I've got a lot of respect for them as a football team. It's very baffling to me that they are 1-6. I think they are very well coached and I think they have a heck of a football team. Maybe things haven't bounced right for them."
"They've given up six sacks in seven games. It's one per 60 throws. They threw it 74 times against San Jose State, and didn't give up a sack. That's an amazing stat when you throw it as much as they do. They are very well coached in the offensive line. The quarterbacks do a good job of getting rid of the ball fast. They're going to get their yards throwing the football. You've got to be patient. Keep the ball in front of you. Get the big hits, try to tip some balls. Once they get close to the goal line, you've got to play good in that area.
"Some teams who have the spread offense, if they can't pass protect, you've got a chance. But this team really pass protects well. And they lost four starters from last year. So, whoever is coaching the offensive line, must be doing an outstanding job. It shows on the tape."
"It's a good thing this game is starting at 4 o'clock, because it could last a long time."
"I think they have good players. Why they are 1-6...when you look at the film, they have breakdowns at times. But when you look at the matchups along the front, they are very physical. It's the same guys that physically played for them last year on a team that had the best turnaround record in the country. I think they have good personnel. I have a very hard time seeing them as a 1-6 football team. People have scored a lot of points against them, though. I'm hoping we have the matchups that we could do the same thing. I just don't view them as a typical 1-6 team.
On getting into a shootout with UH
"We haven't been the type of offense that scores [a lot] of points. I don't think we can get into a scoring game with the University of Hawai'i. I don't think we have the type of offense that's a 45-50 output offense. Hawai'i has the type of team that can score those type of points. What we need to do is get ready to play really solid defense. And if we have to, we need to plan a task to generate points in case it turns into that type of game. We don't usually play those big-time shootout games. We haven't really had one of those since I've been here."
On last year's game at Hawai'i
"Last year's game over there was a great football game. Anybody that watched that game was treated to a football game that was played by two teams that left it all out on the field. They just happened to beat us in double overtime. We got down 21-7. Coming back in Hawai'i is a tough thing to do. But we tied it up and had a chance to win it in the end. That was in front of a crowd that, next to UTEP, was probably the loudest we've played in front of. UTEP was probably a little stronger, but they were very, very loud. It'll be nice to have that game in Fresno."
On Fresno State's game with Tulsa
"I was pleased with our effort against Tulsa. I told the team there has been a lot of growth between 1999 and 2000 as far as handling situations. Last year, we lost to SMU and came home and didn't play our best game of the year, but did win against UTEP. This year, we lost to UTEP, came back and had a great outing against Tulsa. The urgency to play well after a tough loss, I think that shows a lot of growth in our football program. They are all little steps, but they are all important steps in trying to develop our football program."
"David Carr had an outstanding game...And he only really played two quarters. If we kept him in the game, maybe he could have had a 400-yard game. But I don't think that's the importance of what we are trying to do. We got a lot of players playing time in the second half, and I think that is very, very important. And we still won the game going away.

Two things have to happen before the city can annex the county land for the Skyridge project, Mission Viejo Director of Community Development Chuck Wilson said:
The Orange County Board of Supervisors must approve the annexation plan and agree with the city on how property tax from the development will be shared.
The city then must apply to the Orange County Local Agency Formation Commission to annex the property. The city expects to file the application in the next few weeks, Wilson said. It takes about 90 days for LAFCO to process the application, he said.

Among the alumni: Sinai Temple's Rabbi David Wolpe, Temple Beth Am's Rabbi Perry Netter, Valley Beth Shalom's (VBS) Rabbi Ed Feinstein, Temple Aliyah's Rabbi Stewart Vogel, composer and Sinai Temple Friday Night Live impressario Craig Taubman and Bureau of Jewish Education Executive Director Gil Graff, just to name a few.
Having reached all of these future leaders in their formative years, Ramah can take some credit for the face of today's L.A. Jewish leadership. Spiritual leaders, social justice advocates, educators and community board members all proudly trace their strong Jewish values and current commitment to Judaism to their summers at Ramah.
"Ramah is a place where campers and counselors have their first experience in not only participating in, but helping to form and lead the Jewish community in which they find themselves," said Camp Ramah of California Executive Director Rabbi Daniel Greyber.
As it has throughout its history, the camp's programming team sees as its mission to create dynamic ways to blend recreational summertime fun with specifically Jewish lessons on values and life. The campers' days are divided into seven time slots allowing time for electives like drama, soccer or photography, as well as required classes like Judaic studies, Jewish music and Israeli culture.
Some activities are more recreational, others are more clearly Jewish, but the goal is that every activity shares a little of both. Sports, for example, teaches the Jewish values of respect, community, and taking care of one's body. Judaic studies classes offer campers concrete lessons in principles.
At Ramah, tefillah is also meant to strike a balance between inspiring kids to want to pray and giving them the skills and literacy they need to pray. Daily services take place outdoors and usually follow a traditional format. Once or twice a week, counselors design creative services meant to emphasize the inspirational side of prayer. These services might be held on a hike, as a scavenger hunt, or carried out as an art project. Ramah's weekly Shabbat afternoon Mincha services also famously overflow with spirit and song.
It's this brand of spirituality that inspired VBS's Feinstein. Having served as camp counselor and division head in the '70s and camp director in the 1990s, Feinstein believes a balance of fun and spirituality is key to the camp's success. It's also key to his work at VBS.
"I run the synagogue a lot like I used to run the camp," he says. "It's got to be a joyful community."
He believes summer camp is the most powerful Jewish experience, next to visiting Israel.
"Too often we forget that joy is a constituent element to all Jewish life," Feinstein said. "It's just so important to make joy the central part of Jewish living. That's the most important thing I got from Ramah."
Steven Spiegel, UCLA professor of political science, relishes Ramah's combined intellectual and social environments. One of 92 youths to participate in the 1955 Ramah pilot program, Spiegel returned as a camper, then counselor, program director, and ultimately teacher.
Ramah afforded Spiegel the opportunity to work and study in close proximity to Jewish teachers like David Lieber, Chaim Potok, Walter Ackerman and Jack Pressman. For him, Camp Ramah of California was an educational awakening.
"I couldn't be the kind of professor I am and do the kind of things I do without the Ramah experience," said Speigel, who acts as the director of the Center for Middle East Development at UCLA's Ronald W. Burkle Center for International Relations. "Bringing people together and trying to resolve conflict, as well as working with students and colleagues, many of those patterns that I pursue I really first experienced at camp."
Similarly, Ron Reynolds, a camper from 1959 to 1964 and a counselor from 1965 to 1967, credits Ramah with sparking his interest in education.
"At camp, I realized the incredible power of education in all its modalities. Not just formal studies, but experimental learning and informal education," said Reynolds, who now acts as executive director of the California Association of Private School Organizations, an umbrella group that serves 1,750 private schools and 500,000 students,
Camp Ramah also emphasizes tikkun olam (heal the world) and engages campers and counselors in Jewish education. They are encouraged to debate, discuss and intellectually explore their Jewish world. They're offered classes in topics like Israeli current events, social justice, the Holocaust, Jews in comedy and how to make choices guided by Jewish principles.
Throughout the years, Ramah has always encouraged campers to be aware of the world outside their Ojai utopia. Last summer, in association with Friends of the Israeli Defense Force (IDF), Ramah hosted Israeli youths who had lost a family member in service to the IDF. In getting to know these youths, the camp community was able to personalize the current events in Israel. In association with The Jewish Federation, the camp also hosted several youths from bourgeoning Jewish communities in the Baltic area.
"When we're in camp, we're keeping an eye towards the outside world, and ask ourselves in what way can what happens at camp help the world and the Jewish community at large?" Greyber said.
Tzvia Schwartz-Getzug attended Ramah in the late '70s and early '80s and recalls a day when she and others brought residents from the Ojai Home for the Aging outside to watch a parade, enjoy the sunshine and be part of the festivities. It was something, she says, "which they never would have been able to do if we weren't there to take responsibility for them."
"That was definitely part of what I learned and what I began in my Ramah days," Schwartz-Getzug said.
Today Schwartz-Getzug acts as executive director of Jewish World Watch, where she oversees a coalition of synagogues, schools and community member who work to combat genocide and human rights violations around the world. Not only does she continue to take responsibility for others, but she engages today's youth to do so, as well.
"Being at camp, you see the passion and power created by 800 campers singing together, or small groups of campers praying together, or all of them getting involved in an issue. It's incredibly inspiring," said Schwartz-Getzug. "Now I'm encouraged to depend on not just the usual leadership in our community -- adults who are involved in philanthropy -- but on the youth."
Every summer, Ramah adopts a campwide tzedakah project. As campers and staff pack their bags for the camp, they also pack items for someone in need. Last summer, Ramah's staff and campers worked in conjunction with Jewish World Watch and collected educational toys that were air shipped to one of Jewish World Watch's medical clinics in Darfur.
"Being in a camp where you're living a halachic life, and still participating in swimming, sports, arts and crafts, and carrying on boy-girl relationships gave me and my peers a framework for figuring out where we wanted Judaism to fit in our lives," Schwartz-Getzug said.
Ramah campers and staff return home each year with a renewed sense of Jewish identity. They often take a piece of what they learned at camp and incorporate it into their life at home.
"If Ramah just happens in Ojai and if it just stays there, then we haven't fulfilled our mission. Because the purpose of coming to camp is ultimately to change lives outside of camp," Greyber said. Schwartz-Getzug recalls that for months after camp ended, her Ramah friends would gather in somebody's house, borrow a Torah, and conduct camp's Mincha service.
KNBC investigative reporter Joel Grover returned home from his first summer at Ramah requesting that is mother start keeping kosher.
"I grew up in an observant Jewish home, but Ramah made me even more observant. Through the learning, the tefillot, the rituals, it all intensified my sense of being Jewish and my commitment to Judaism, which endures today," Grover said. "I bring a lot of the Jewish values I learned at camp Ramah to my work every day. Looking out for other people, I learned that at camp."
While today's leaders look back to Ramah as inspiration, the current Ramah staff looks forward to creating tomorrow's leaders. Ramah counts more than 1,270 campers each summer, and has 260 staff members.
Greyber is well aware that Ramah is an incubator for Jewish leadership: "It's a daunting task and also an inspiring task to realize we don't just run a summer camp, we run a major Jewish educational institution which has the opportunity to change the L. A. Jewish community for decades to come."

While Jim Henson was the figurehead of the company, his wife Jane was integral to the success of the Muppets.
12:25, UK, Wednesday 03 April 2013
The co-creator of the Muppets, Jane Henson, has died at the age of 78 after a long battle with cancer.
Mrs Henson was described by the Jim Henson Company, founded in her late husband's name, as his "partner in marriage and Muppets".
The couple met in a puppetry class at the University of Maryland in the 1950s and soon after became creative and business partners in what would become the world famous puppet family.
In the following decades their credits included Sesame Street, The Dark Crystal, Labyrinth, Fraggle Rock and the sci-fi cult series Farscape as well as The Muppet Show.
The Hensons married in 1959 and had five children: Lisa, Cheryl, Brian, John and Heather.
Legally separated in 1986, Jim and Jane Henson continued to share their love of, and vision for, the Muppets, said the company.
Jim Henson died in 1990, aged 53, and in 1992, Mrs Henson created and funded The Jim Henson Legacy to preserve his artistic contributions.
Always modest about her own contribution to the creation and success of the Muppets, she would often speak to the public about Jim Henson's body of work and how "Jim wanted to leave the world a better place".
But Arthur Novell, the trustee of The Jim Henson Legacy, said "most would agree they both did".
Their children now run the family business with Brian as chairman and Lisa the chief executive. Cheryl is president of The Jim Henson Foundation, which promotes the art of puppetry in the United States through grants.
In a statement, the Jim Henson Company said the couple shared "a unique approach to puppetry that is joyful and sophisticated".
The Muppets first appeared on local television in the show, Sam and Friends.
It wasn't long before characters like Miss Piggy and Kermit the Frog were making special guest appearances on the top variety shows of the time.
The company went on to receive more than 50 Emmy awards and nine Grammy awards.
Born in New York City, Jane Henson was the daughter of a professional astrologer.

My Story - Uncut
Thursday, November 22, 2012
I did not start to really gain weight until my 7th grade year. This is when I started to become less active and my family had once again moved. It is always hard and difficult to move especially when you are younger.
As I got older and got out of high school I gained more weight, hung out with the wrong crowd, and started drinking and smoking. The older I got the heavier I got. The more disappointments I had, the more I ate -I have always been an emotional eater so my mood has always dictated what and how much I eat.
When I joined sparks a few years ago, that is when I realized that I was an emotional eater.
I have been on numerous diets, weight watchers, etc. I would lose 30 pounds only to gain it back and then some. It got to the point that no matter what I did or how much I exercised I could not lose weight.
Then came the knee injury this year - I thought that it would be simple back to work within a month. NINE months later I am not only at the highest weight I have been in my entire life but I CAN NOT EXERCISE due to same. About 1 1/2 months ago I think reached the lowest point in my life. I was overweight, depressed, and . felt as worthless as I have ever felt. As a christian that is pretty hard to admit and having the thoughts that I had I felt like a split person. I did not want to go to my pastor or his wife who are like my best friends - I was afraid of what they would think of me. .
I have always been harder on myself than others. So at this point I started really doing some soul searching. I started searching out about schools and found a niche where I will be able to work whether or not I can get around. I really feel that God is leading me to get my masters degree in forensic psychology and I will begin that difficult journey in December.
I also found that once I had found this my depression decided to lighten up. I had something to focus on - do not get me wrong - I have 4 beautiful kids who are all in high school and I love them very much BUT even they could not help me. They are what kept me going and still believing.
God led me to that so then I started to really listen - what else do you have or want me to do?
I realized that God wanted me to get control of myself and my body. I started noticing a bunch of Facebook ads for various weight loss products.
Wow!!! There are sooo many but I decided to look, research and pray about it. I felt God leading me to the IT WorKs! program. I started it about 1 week ago and I have already lost 18 inches and going!!! I am feeling better and looking up.
God always has a reason even if we do not understand.

Have you heard of chair exercise? There are things that you can do without using your knee. I don't really know to what extent your injuries are/were. But there is a lady (Indygirl is her screen name) who was bedridden, and was able to start exercising in this way. She has lost over 200 pounds. Obviously not overnight - but she has stuck with the stuff over the long haul. You might want to check her page out.
Here is her page:

and never give up!

College of Science
This major investigates how organisms interact with their physical environment and other organisms, from an evolutionary perspective. Ecologists' work includes research and/or teaching involving population genetics and evolution, adaptive strategies for survival, the nature of populations, and community ecology. Ecologists also offer technical services in connection with environmental impact decisions and regional planning, and environmental education at various levels as teacher, naturalist, or journalist. Common career paths for undergraduate students include graduate study leading to academic positions (research and teaching in small colleges and major universities), technical positions in industry (mostly dealing with environmental assessment), and employment in state and federal environmental agencies.

Joni Ernst, the Republican candidate for the United States Senate from Iowa, delivered the Republican response to President Obama's weekly radio address on Saturday, according to the Washington Times. In the response, noting her own military service, she made a full throated attack on liberals, in Washington and elsewhere, and their tendency to tell people what to do. Then she announced that she was suspending her campaign for two weeks so that she might perform her annual service in the Iowa National Guard.
Hot Air's Jazz Shaw, himself a veteran of a number of political campaigns, noted that when a political candidate proposes to take time off from campaigning, it is usually the occasion for a campaign manager to want to slit his or her wrists. One does not risk losing momentum by taking time off. It also does not look good to be vacationing in the middle of a campaign, as former Speaker Newt Gingrich did in the midst of his ultimately unsuccessful 2012 run for president.
But Shaw also suggests that Ernst may be the exception to that rule. She is not, after all, taking two weeks off to relax. She will be doing military service as an officer in the Iowa National Guard. That cannot but be impressive to Iowa voters.
In the meantime Iowa Republicans are preparing to take full advantage of Ernst's service. Noting that her opponent, Democrat Bruce Braley will not leave off attacking Ernst while she is on active service, Republican Party of Iowa Chairman Jeff Kaufmann urged that Iowa Republicans step up and campaign for her while she is away at Fort McCoy training. This sets up something of a conundrum for Braley, who has already hurt himself with a gaffe about trial lawyers being more important than farmers in rural Iowa.
Does he continue to attack a woman who, for the next two weeks, will be a solider on active service, thus risking a backlash? Or does not soften his own campaign, also risk losing momentum? Either approach is fraught with peril.

Out now on Orange, the Nokia 5030 XpressRadio is the latest pay as you go phone from Nokia and it costs less than £20!
The Nokia 5030 XpressRadio is an entry-level phone with a playful bar design. Although 15mm thick, it's a nice shape and weighs only 82g. What you get for your money with the Nokia 5030 is quite respectable.
There is a dedicated radio key, as you would expect from a phone called XpressRadio, and an inbuilt antenna so you no longer have to attach the headphones for the radio to work, which is wonderful as the phone comes equipped with a great loudspeaker. Battery life is good too with 525 hours on standby or 10 hours talk time. The rest of the features are basic, which isn't a bad thing if you just want to make and receive calls, send texts and listen to the radio! Overall this is a nice little phone and excellent value for money.

Cold air, shipwrecks, and heavy rain top the list of Michigan weather events on this day in history. From the National Weather Service archives here are the weather events that happened on April 19.
1897 – Cold air controls the Great Lakes as an area of high pressure drops down from Canada. This is the first of several record setting cold days. In Michigan Grand Rapids has a low temperature of 19° Lansing 14°, Detroit 23°, and Sault Ste. Marie dips to a bitter cold 5°.
1913 - The wood, bulk freight Uganda, while carrying corn, was bound Milwaukee for Buffalo, when struck pack ice and cut her hull 4 miles east of White Shoals, Western Straits of Mackinac in Lake Michigan. Despite frantic effort by the crew to save her she finally sank. The crew of 22 saved by steamer Donaldson.
1922 - The Canadian lighthouse tender Lambton, while carrying gear and passengers, was carrying relief keepers to various Canadian lighthouses when she disappeared in a spring gale somewhere between Caribou Island and Whitefish Point. Several freighters spotted the boat and later wreckage near Caribou Island in Lake Superior. A Georgian Bay paper company's tug G. R. Gray searched for her for more than a week. The lost included two young sea cadets from Soo, Ontario. All 22 people on the boat perished.
1929 - The wood ship E.J. Laway, Jr. foundered and was a total loss during a gale off Sein Island, North Channel of Lake Huron.
1953 - The temperature in Flint never rose above 35°. This temperature was a record temperature, in that it was the lowest maximum temperature for that day. Houghton Lake observes a record low maximum of 38°. The next day, the record lowest maximum temperature for Flint was 34°.
1957 - Less than a week after record low temperatures in the teens, high temperatures are pushing 80 degrees across Lower Michigan. Muskegon went from 19° on the 15th to a high of 79° on this date, a rise of 60° in four days.
1985 - A record 3.09 inches of heavy rainfall for the day fell at Weather Forecast Office in Marquette which was followed by record warmth 2 days later. 2.88 inches fell in Ishpeming, 2.49 inches at Van Riper State Park while 1.60 inches fell in Marquette. This rain combined with snowmelt caused some flooding in Marquette County. Floodwaters made it to hundreds of residences along rivers and streams in central Upper Michigan. Marquette County had as many as 500 homes affected. Numerous roads were closed due to flooding and at least one bridge was washed out in Marquette County while Alger County had 4 secondary roads washed out. Flooding lasted for 3 days in South Republic.

Bears rally past slumping Red Raiders
LUBBOCK, Texas -- Tweety Carter always seems to come up with what Baylor needs.
He did it again Tuesday night when the Bears (No. 22 ESPN/USA Today, No. 21 AP) beat Texas Tech 86-68, their sixth win in seven games.
"All year long Tweety's given us what we need," Bears coach Scott Drew said. "If we needed scoring, he gives us scoring. If we need assists, he takes care of the ball. I thought between him and Epke [Udoh], they really controlled things from the inside and outside."
The Bears (23-6, 10-5 Big 12) got off to a slow start and trailed by 11 points in the first half but came to life right after the break.
Carter knows sputtering first halves must change.
"We can't continue to start like this," said Carter, who had nine assists and two steals. "When we huddled up, I think their lead was up to 12 or 11 or something like that. We knew we had a run in us but at the same time we were lucky to cut it down to one at half and get back into the game."
Baylor used a 14-5 run to go up 51-43 and then built its largest lead, 76-58, on a dunk by Udoh with 5:29 remaining.
Texas Tech whittled its deficit to 81-68 on a jumper in the lane by Mike Singletary with 2:32 remaining but the Red Raiders could get no closer.
Carter was 7-of-12 from the field, including 3-of-6 from behind the arc.
Singletary scored 20 points to lead Texas Tech (16-13, 4-11).
Baylor, which has its most conference wins since the Big 12 began in 1996, had five players score in double figures.
The loss was the Red Raiders' sixth straight overall and their fourth consecutive at home. The last time Tech lost four straight conference games at home was in 2000.
The Bears owned the boards, outrebounding the Red Raiders 39-23.
Udoh scored 17 points, Josh Lomers added 13, Quincy had 12 and Anthony Jones got 10.
Udoh, who averaged 4.4 blocks per game coming in, had one against Texas Tech.
Carter said he couldn't be as effective without Udoh.
"When Ekpe is knocking down jumpers like that it's easy for me and it's easier for everybody to just spread out," he said. "He's a big threat on offense. Coach called some great plays, got Ekpe the ball early, got the bigs the ball and got them touches."
The 14-5 run that broke the game open in the second half included four points from Udoh, a 3-pointer by Carter and field goals from Lomers, Jones and LaceDarius Dunn.
"When we got active and we got aggressive, we were able to get some transition baskets," Drew said. "When we got transition baskets going it really opened things up for us."
The game was similar to when the Red Raiders lost at Baylor by the same margin two weeks ago, Texas Tech coach Pat Knight said.
"We just quit again like we did in the second half up there when they jumped on us," he said. "We beg and plead with our guys, and you can't make dumb mistakes with bad passes and bad shots against a good team. Our guys are careless."
The Bears were nearly flawless from the free-throw line, missing only 3-of-24 attempts.
Baylor started slowly and fell behind as Tech made six of its first seven shots.
The Red Raiders used a 14-2 run, including five points from Singletary and four from D'waylon Roberts, to lead 22-11 with just over 10 minutes left.
The Bears gradually came to life, chipping into their deficit with a 14-4 run that included seven points from Carter to trail 26-25 with just over six minutes remaining in the half.
"Tweety was huge all game but especially early on offensively," Drew said. "When [Tech] had that big run, he was able to help get us back into the game and in the second half he did a tremendous job finding people."
Tech cooled off as the half progressed, finishing 14-of-28 from the field, including 4-of-10 from beyond the arc. The Red Raiders led 38-37 at halftime.

BareMinerals READY Eye 4.0 Elements ($30) is supposed to be inspired by air, earth, wind and fire. But we can't figure out which is which. Maybe the teal is water but perhaps that's the sky. We suppose the gray can be wind but we feel like a good deal of earth is covered in pavement and that's gray. Either way, we bought it and since haven't given the color inspiration two seconds of thought. We just love it regardless.

How should physicians respond to the growing tension between care and cost? One option is to reinforce the ideal of doing everything to further the best interests of the individual patient. Others, however, have argued that because health care resources are shared and limited, physicians should consciously participate in rationing by saying "no" to patients' requests for some marginally beneficial services.
But even physicians who endorse the idea of rationing wonder whether patient–physician relationships could ever survive a frank admission of rationing at the bedside. This article explores the idea that caring about costs can be brought to the bedside in a way that will sustain trust among patients and the public. By illustrating a hypothetical case and the ensuing conversation between a physician and her patient, a mode of "proportional" patient advocacy is presented in which physicians can remain forceful agents for patient good while acting within a framework that admits to the boundaries of responsible budgets for health care needs.
In this model, societal pressures to control costs are applied unevenly, and even capriciously, resulting in a competitive relationship among patient–physician dyads for available resources. Some patient–physician dyads gain preferential access to services, whereas others are forced to accept less. In this model, patients and physicians are viewed as part of a moral community in which costs are controlled through group deliberation and decision making. Physicians are called upon to ration at the bedside with the open knowledge and collaboration of their patients and the broader community.

How Nokia fell from dominance and got pinned down by competitors
No company sold handsets better than it did. Not in India. It customised products as McDonald's did with aloo tikki and sold them like Lux soaps in neighbourhood stores. This disruptive innovation landed Nokia India almost 60% of the handset market by 2005. The brand became a synonym for the product. Indians didn't go to buy a mobile phone. They went to buy a Nokia.
Now many of them don't. Increasingly, Indians go to buy a Nokia and come out with a BlackBerry, Samsung or Micromax. According to the latest 2010 (January-September) report by IDC, a provider of market intelligence, Nokia's market share was 56.2% in 2008 and 32.9% in 2010. The brand has lost its X factor.
Nokia India, however, disagrees, claiming its market share in CDMA and GSM handsets today is 52.2%. Technology research firm Gartner puts the 2010 figure at 30.3%. GfK-Nielsen estimates it at 44.8%. Nokia says the IDC report does not include shipments from Nokia's manufacturing facility in Chennai. Also, it says that IDC's statement that most of its shipments from the Chennai plant were exports was "inaccurate and untrue".
"IDC and Gartner are reputed global firms which have a history of tracking numbers and trends. We do extensive work on the handset industry and we often use their reports," says Jaideep Ghosh, executive director, KPMG India.
But Gautami Srinivasan, 19, hadn't given up Nokia on the basis of IDC or Gartner reports. A Delhi-based beautician, Srinivasan wanted a basic phone. Features didn't matter, price did. What better than a low-end Nokia?
"The salesman told me that Micromax Q1 had a dual SIM, loud speakers, expandable memory and an ABCD [Qwerty] keypad. It was cheap but looked expensive," she says.
Smartphone users have found different reasons to convert. Sweta Kumar, a 28-year-old consultant, was bored with her toy and wanted to buy a Nokia C7. But she ended up buying a Samsung Ace. The salesman at the multi-brand store pushed Samsung as "the top brand in smartphones" and the "leader in touch technology". What nailed the deal was the phone's Android operating system.

Stories About
Guatemala on GoNOMAD
Hands down and without equivocation, Guatemala is the gem of Central America, offering more to the traveler than any of its half dozen neighbors, even if the equatorial heat had melted them into a tropical glob.
World class sites stretch from the most fabulous Mayan ruin at Tikal in the north to the Rio Dulce and Lago Izabal in the south, sandwiching polychromatic markets and variously active volcanoes from Antigua to Lago Atitlan. Read more...
Biking Belize and Guatemala: From Temple to Temple
Shadows flicker on the cave walls as I squeeze into narrow crevices, skirt past 100,000-year-old stalactites, wade through waist-high algid water and slide down abrupt rock faces. What kind of courage must have it taken for the Mayans to enter such a forbidding place?
"Don't step there," our guide Emilio barks out from in front as he points over to pottery left here by the Mayans centuries ago. The trail is littered with ceramic pots of all sizes, their bottoms broken in order to release the spirits. Camera flashes abound. Read more....
Guatemala and its Caribbean Treasure
If you think Playa de Carmen is played out and Belize has bottomed, head a little further south to Guatemala. You can find more thrills and chills to check up on. Hedonist and history buff will both find plenty to please. It is a fact that there are more Mayan people living in Guatemala than anywhere else. From beach resorts to Caribbean villages to jungle treks the Izabal area has a lot of options.
One of the most unusual aspects of my visit to the area was the encounter with wildlife. At times that meant facing down a lifelong phobia of snakes. Read more...

MADISON, FL – As part of its ongoing 2012-2017 Strategic Plan, North Florida Community College adopted new vision and mission statements for the College. The statements, approved by NFCC's District Board of Trustees on June 19, are: Vision: To be our communities' first choice for education and cultural enrichment.
Mission: An exceptional college dedicated to an individualized and supportive academic atmosphere, accessible education, lifelong learning opportunities, and professional growth for our students and communities.
"The College is always aware of its responsibility to our six-county district and we feel that the new vision and mission statements articulate well our commitment and obligation to the students and communities we serve," said NFCC President John Grosskopf.
Development of the college's new vision and mission statements was a collaborative effort. NFCC used surveys to gather input from NFCC students, employees, alumni, and the community. Draft statements, developed in late 2012, were sent out via survey for additional input and suggestions. According to Tara Orlowski, NFCC Institutional Effectiveness Coordinator and Strategic Planning Committee Chair, the drafts received positive responses from the campus and community.
"It was exciting to be able to present the new statements to the NFCC District Board of Trustees in June," said Orlowski. "The College's new strategic plan has been in motion for 19 months and we continue to see positive results."
The evaluation of NFCC's mission and vision statements is one of many objectives outlined in NFCC's 2012-2017 Strategic Plan, which was also developed with input from across the NFCC campus and service district. The plan, adopted by the NFCC District Board of Trustees in November 2011, identifies four major planning and assessment goals to guide NFCC through 2017; they are: (1) Improve performance accountability: Create and maintain a sustainable and data-driven decision-making campus environment; (2) Strengthen communication: Strengthen information sharing procedures at NFCC; (3) Increase resource acquisition and allocation: Ensure campus funding acquisition, expenditures and resource allocation are aligned with strategic plan; and (4) Provide a holistic campus experience: Provide a holistic campus experience for students, faculty, and staff. Committees comprised of NFCC employees from different departments and areas on campus oversee the various goals and objectives.
"NFCC's Goal 2, Objective 2 Strategic Planning Team did an excellent job bringing everyone's input together to develop our new statements," said Orlowski.
For more information about NFCC's 2012-2017 Strategic Plan, visit www.nfcc.edu/about-nfcc/strategic-planning- or contact Tara Orlowski at (850) 973-1789 or firstname.lastname@example.com.

Aged and Gritty in the Hollywood Hills
From Margaret Everton on May 11, 2010 in Los Angeles
Tucked away in the Hollywood Hills, this place was given a down-home design with the proper amount of comfort to match. Nickey Kehoe Inc. headed the re-do, and they were even able to add that bohemian style that L.A. loves so much.
The dining/living room is a hodgepodge of furniture with slightly different styles, but similar neutral wood tones. A stained black floor contrasts the dark brown wood of the ceiling without putting too much emphasis on the color difference. Plants help liven up the space.
The exposed wood ceilings that can be seen throughout the home are softened in the bedroom with a coat of white paint against a powder-blue wall. The rest of the mismatched touches, such as the wall hangings, speak to the owners personal style.
A close-up of the living room shows that careful attention was paid to the details. The chosen pieces look aged, yet contemporary, complementing the interesting artwork on the walls.
Obviously, designing a home in an area rich with creative inspiration served this team well. Besides making each space look fantastic, they also brought the owners personality to the forefront a true indication of success.
