Omega-3 fatty acids may reduce breast cancer risk (male breast cancer risk up 22%)
August 6, 2010 by
Filed under Uncategorized
The list just keeps growing for the benefits of omega-3 fatty acids and overall health. The newest to the list is breast cancer. A study just published in the journal of Cancer Epidemiology, Biomarkers & Prevention surveyed approximately 35,000 postmenopausal women, ages 50 to 76, for their use of various specialty supplements (1). The 24-page summary took into account past and present use of supplements as well as frequency (days/week) and duration (year). Individuals taking fish oil had a 32 percent reduced risk of developing breast cancer, whereas other supplements typically taken to reduce menopausal symptoms (e.g., black cohosh, dong quai, soy, or St. John's wort) had no association. Although further research needs to be conducted, this again adds to the growing body of evidence on the benefits of omega-3s for disease prevention.

We could live without seeing Michael dunder Jim and Pam's mifflin. And yeah, that's totally what she said.

I am glad I decided to watch Arabs Got Talent for the first time tonight as I had no clue we had such a young talent in Lebanon. I am sure he's not the best opera singer out there but compared to the other competitors, he's on a league of his own. He qualified easily for the finals and is on his way to winning this competition for sure. He reminds me of Britain's Got Talent Paul Potts back in 2007. [YouTube]
Last time a Lebanese movie caused controversy and got banned in Lebanese theaters, it turned out to be a lousy one.
Tannoura Maxi is not yet banned despite several calls to do so but apparently does not deserve all that attention because it's not that good according to what few friends have told me while others portrayed it as being wonderful. Added to that, despite scoring 7 over 10 on IMDb (by only 49 users), the reviews are overwhelmingly bad.
Despite all that, I plan to watch it out of support for Lebanese Director Joe Bou Eid, but it would be nice to hear some reviews or comments from those who already watched it.
This pothole is located on the maritime road on your way to the Forum de Beyrouth. I know already two people who had to buy a new tyre and alloy wheels after falling into it.
Republic restaurant is opening soon in Kaslik facing Saydit el Najet Church. If it's going to be as big and busy as the original one in Amaret Chalhoub, then it's gonna cause some serious traffic there.

I was at the opening of the Beirut Boat Show 2012 this afternoon at the Marina Joseph Khoury and I must say it wasn't at all what I expected. In fact it wasn't just boats and yachts aligned next to each other but there were a lot of stands with the latest boats, engines, electronics and marine accessories as well as many cool stands such as the Castania and Almaza stand, the Grey Goose and an ice cream stand. Moreover, there was a Lebanese Army Navy warship that everyone was allowed to visit.
There were also a lot of top models, with at least one at every stand. Some of them were even dressed up in sexy bikinis like the one in the picture. Price-wise, boats are insanely expensive, even renting them costs at least 2000$ per day.
The Boat Show will take place from May 16th till May 20th.

Portal Server 7.1 更新1中的Ajax容器
By leonfan on 九月 13, 2007
Ajax Container is one of the key features to be launched with the Portal Server 7.1 Update 1 release.
The Ajax Container integrates Ajax capabilities at the portal framework level. The container provides asynchronous loading of individual channels and portlets. Therefore, a slow channel or portlet will not affect the loading time of the other channels and portlets on a page, improving overall performance. The Ajax Container includes Ajax based interaction for all container controls and features which provides for a much richer and faster user experience.
Detailed documentation about the Ajax Container can be found in the 7.1 Update 1 documentation.
This being the first release of the Ajax Container there are some known problems that you should be aware of. The Ajax Container currently is incompatible with the following:
- - Some Community Portlets and the Discussion channel may not work properly in the Ajax Container
- - Portlets making cross-domain Ajax requests, e.g., if you are embedding a Google maps object, will not work because of of security constraints imposed by the XMLHttpRequest object. You can work around this constraint by putting your map object inside an iframe.
- - JMaki based portlets may not work properly

anyone interested in a regular northeastern gathering?
Hi Baz
Good to hear from you, and that things are going well.
I'm sure there is a club in your area with green and white hoops like mine, in fact I thought it was the Wirral.
Hopefully my hamstring is sorted now, and I will be trying my first long run over the weekend to test it. I realised when I was out running alittle earlier that Amsterdam marathon is a month today, eek !
Wirall AC run in a white vest with 2 green hoops, so not quite the same as yours. My new club run in a red vest. Hope the hamstring is ok & that you will be fine for Amsterdam
Have continued to improve, upto 8 miles now & did another of the 5K seaside runs in exactly 20 minutes this time, so definitely getting better.
On a non running note, I have got some good news for you all. Me & Suzanne are getting married, in May next year.
many congratulations on your good news - 20 mins for 5K is really impressive!!
Seriously - every happiness for the future together to you both.
Baz, wonderful news, both on the 5k time, but more importantly on your impending marriage.
My hamstring now seems fine and i was out for a 3 hour run at the weekend, which gives me some confidence for getting around Amsterdam OK, just not as quickly as I would have hoped.
good news on the hanstring front- are you trying for a BM place????
TS, I hadn't thought about BM this time round, partly as I slept in and missed the last one I entered !
Also I'm off to run up and down (mostly up I think) the jungles of Cuba at around about the same time, so logistically could be difficult.
I've just found out that we cannot take safety pins on a plane as hand luggage.
It's going to be fun trying to pin my numbe ron in Amsterdam on Sunday isn't it!
How much of a threat can a safety pin be??
Hi DD, oddly enough I've just taken abreak from packing my bag to see what the weather will be like.
I wouldn't worry about taking safety pins in hand luggage. I did when I went to Holland for a spring marathon, and I'll be taking them tomorrow. Worst that can happen is they take them off you !
Thanks to everyone for the best wishes
I am probably a bit too late for this, but all the best to Ian for the marathon tomorrow. Hope the weather is ok & you get the time you're after.
Hope DD and Ian have a fab race...sorry I couldnt be there to pace you DD!
So who is doing the Heaton 10km? Im considering venturing north for it....but if no northern friends are doing I might have to give it a miss.
Im doing well-taking a weekend off racing after a new 10mile pb last sunday!(1:47:03!)
Back from Amsterdam. Very pleased with 3:29, hamstring felt good and I managed to run at pretty much an even pace throughout, picking up towards the end, which is a great feeling.
Weather was near pefect for distance running.
good one Ian,
I finished in 5:18 and my Achilles and knee have both been fine. I managed to run pretty steadily (just stopping at drinks stations) for the first 17.5 miles and then had to jog / walk to the end as my legs decided that they weren't going to move any further.
I was over the moon when I got to the stadium espescially as I managed to run into it
DD -glad you got round OK and enjoyed it.
I had a look at my pictures on the website and half of them arent me, most odd !
I have just filled out an application for the White Peak marathon in Derbyshire for next May. Did it last year, and it was excellent. Off road, but all proper trails, conder paths and the like, very much a road shoe event.
Gibside a week on Sunday. Any Northern Socialers entered this event, which is always over subscribed ?
DD & Ian - well done to you both on your marathon exploits
& a very impressive 10 mile PB for our princess
Ian - I am up north next weekend, so have entered Gibside. My first time, have always had various injuries / trips away in previous years. Although the other lads at the club have always reckoned I just didn't want to do the hilly course, having done races like the Derwentside 10 & Keswick half, something I have denied vigorously.
spooky, I sent an entry to this thread and it hasn't turned up.
Baz, I shall look forward to seeing you on Sunday. It isn't for nothing that the race T-shirt tends to have the words "not flat " on it .
It is one of my all-time favourites though, and the last mile is very short
OK any of you lot doing Town moor in Nov? Im sat looking at the form and debating!
I know I can certainly run the distance but dont want to be the only northern social one and obviously there is the transport issue to sort....
Hi princess, I may well do the Town Moor 10k, but not sure.
I have just entered the Benidorm marathon later in the month and may need that Sunday for a long run in preparation, assuming my legs have recovered from Amsterdam.
This may not be the most sensible thing I've ever Done
Ian-oh go on...I will bribe you with banana cake if I have to
I may text durham and see if he fancies being paced/pacing a princess (we seem to work quite well together as a team!)
Ian we never expect you to be sensible...I have the Clowne Half Marathon rattling around in the race ideas bank which would be Nov 25th...so a decent 10km plod wouldnt do any harm........
well best go sort out the bunny and then have a shower....stopping down at parentals at the moment with my bunny and friend Maz....we were tourists yesterday and had lunch in the oldest known pub in england which happens to be located in Nottm...the old trip to jeruselem (sp)....lovely pub grub too!
Hi folks,
PPB, havent entered the town moor10 as I am returning to running after a 2 month layoff due to being busy at work, at the moment I am that snail.
The old trip to jerusalem, I remember visiting that pub a couple of years ago with some friends who live in Clipstone.
Hope everyone else is ok, well done on your marathon successes Ian and D.D.
Baz, late congratulations to you both on your engagement, hope your wedding goes well.

dell studio 1558
windows 7 home premium 64 bit svc pack 1
intel core i3 4g ram
psm version 1.30.1
i'm sure these are dumb questions, and i'm also sure they've been answered already, so please forgive me. i've tried the tutorials pertaining to my problems and i get lost, so bare with me and please try to explain in the simplest terms possible.
i've downloaded and installed the software, codecs etc. i seem to be able to read and play everything in my library, but i under the transcoding section of psm it's still showing that i'm missing avisynth/ffmpeg. i've tried the tutorial on how to install this with windows 7 and it doesn't seem to work. user error i'm sure. so, first question is, how do i get avisynth/ffmpeg installed on this thing?
second question: i want to have a wired connection to my ps3. i'm wirelessly connected to my network though and connecting to my router via cable isn't possible. from my understanding i will be able to stream my media faster by doing this. so, how do i connect to my ps3 via ethernet cable and maintain my wireless connection to the internet?
third question: some of my files plays with subs on when i don't need them and some play when i do. how do i fix this?

It's been a long time coming, but the YikeBike is now officially on sale. With its unique design, and its tag as an alternative electric commuting device, the price tag may seem to make more sense. Initially unveiled a year ago, the YikeBike has finally made it to the "purchase" stage, and just in time for Christmas.
The YikeBike is made out of carbon fiber, and features one of the most unique designs for any kind of piece of equipment for transportation that we've ever seen. If you do buy one, you'll have to live pretty close to your work, or wherever you plan on taking this thing the majority of time, as the bike is only able to go about 6.2 miles on a single charge. It may not be a long distance, but hopefully it's enough to get you where your'e going. At least to somewhere where you can charge it up again. It's top speed is recorded at 14mph. It can also be folded, so that if you do need to jump onto a train or bus, you can.
As for the price, it's listed at $3,595. That's better than the estimated $5,000+ that the designers originally had the YikeBike going for a year ago, but it's still a bit of a shock when you see it. Though, it may not be that wild of a guess to say that if you do pull the trigger on buying one of these for yourself, or someone you know for the holidays, that they'll probably be one of the few riding around in their city.

McConnell: Pleased 'Nuclear Option' Not Used
Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R., Ky.) said that he was pleased that Democrats hadn't gone through with their threat to push the "nuclear option" and remove the minority party's right to filibuster executive nominations.
He said the Senate would try to process the two new nominees to the National Labor Relations Board that the White House will select in July before lawmakers depart Washington for the August recess.
More broadly, Mr. McConnell said the crisis averted was a "step in the right direction" that could result in continued bipartisan cooperation as the year progresses.

- Republicans Weigh Expanding 'Nuclear Option' for Supreme Court Nominees
- President Obama Outpaces Predecessors in Filling Judicial Posts
"Put this down as progress in the right direction and the best possible atmosphere to go into the balance of the year when we have much tougher issues to deal with down the road," the GOP leader told reporters after meeting with his Republican colleagues.
Before the end of the year, Congress is going to have to reach an agreement on funding levels for the federal government before the new fiscal year begins on Oct. 1, and lawmakers are also expected to have to agree to increase the debt ceiling by the end of the calendar year to ensure the country avoids defaulting on its obligations.
Mr. McConnell sought to emphasize the role he played over the course of several months in trying to resolve the nominations impasse. He said he suggested to President Barack Obama in January that he send up two new nominees to the National Labor Relations Board to replace those he had recess appointed last year. And he said he said the same thing to Vice President Joe Biden a few weeks ago, when the two began talking about how to end the dispute.
He seemed to play down the role played by Sen. John McCain (R., Ariz.) during the weekend negotiations, saying a number of senators on his side of the aisle got involved over the weekend.

ARM: our netbooks will fly with or without Windows
PC Pro Exclusive: ARM chief Warren East explains why netbooks could become the dominant force in the PC market
ARM chief executive Warren East has claimed that netbooks could swallow 90% of the PC market, in an exclusive interview with PC Pro.
The British chip design firm, which is the biggest rival to Intel's dominant Atom processors in the netbook space, claims the low-budget laptops could transform the PC market. And East says the chip firm will succeed "with our without" Windows support for its processors.
"Although netbooks are small today – maybe 10% of the PC market at most – we believe over the next several years that could completely change around and that could be 90% of the PC market," said East. "We see those products as an area for a lot of innovation and we want that innovation to be happening around the ARM architecture."
There's not really a huge amount of point in us knocking on Microsoft's door
East claims ARM already has several processors inside the typical netbook, but it wants the final piece of the jigsaw - the CPU. "Let's say you go and buy a laptop today. You'll find the application processor is an Intel device or an AMD device. Typically you'll also be buying two or three ARM microprocessors," East claimed.
"Chances are it's an ARM in the Wi-Fi or Bluetooth. More often than not there's an ARM in the hard disk drive and sometimes there's an ARM in the integrated camera as well. Not to mention the ARM that's in the printer that you may or may not have bought to go with it."
"Right now there's only one microprocessor in the PC that probably isn't ARM and that's the applications processor. Certainly what we're talking about over the next few years – particularly with netbooks, not with PCs – is the opportunity for those to be ARM."
No point in chasing Windows
One significant barrier to ARM CPUs in netbooks is Windows' lack of support for the company's processors. East admits it's a problem. "If we were to wake up tomorrow and find Windows support for ARM it would certainly accelerate ARM penetration in that space," he said.
"What's holding it back is people's love of the Microsoft operating system and that fact that it's familiar and so on. But actually the trajectory of progress in the Linux world is very, very impressive. I think it's only a matter of time for ARM to gain market share with or without Microsoft."
And the ARM boss claims he's not pestering Microsoft to broaden Windows' processor support. "There's not really a huge amount of point in us knocking on Microsoft's door," he said. "Microsoft knows us very well, it's worked with us for the past 12 years, all its mobile products are based on ARM.
"It's really an operational decision for Microsoft to make. I don't think there's any major technical barriers. Microsoft's well aware of the technical support we can provide to them, but it is an operational challenge for them, and one that only they can work out. We can't really help them with it."
Asked whether he felt Microsoft's long-term ally, Intel, would be applying pressure on the software giant to withhold support for ARM, East said: "Maybe they would, but Microsoft has to run Microsoft, not Intel."

Hello,I recently moved to San Francisco from New York with 10 years of experience in project management for interaction / industrial design, and have a Master of Industrial Design from Pratt. I am looking for more experience in design consultancies or client-based design businesses in the Bay Area, but do not really have the lay of the land out here yet. If anyone has suggestions beyond Frog, Smart and IDEO, I would be enormously grateful.
Thanks for all of your recent posts as well.Best,Heidi

Mick O'Dwyer talks to Marty Morrissey about what he hopes to achieve as coach of the Clare footballers
Updated: Monday, 14 Jan 2013 19:55 | Comments
Another chapter in the management career of Mick O'Dwyer has just begun, with Clare hoping they can benefit from what the Waterville legend will impart.
It's all of 38 years since O'Dwyer took charge of the Kerry senior footballers for the first time. He presided over a team, perhaps the greatest that ever played the game, that would go on and win eight All-Ireland titles.
Since then, his footballing message has been expressed in Kildare, Laois and Wicklow. Now, in his 77th year, O'Dwyer sets about making Clare a more formidable force.
O'Dwyer accepted the offer from county board chairman Michael O'Neill to come on board. Also on the management ticket is Michael Cahill, who will oversee the physical training, leaving O'Dwyer free to fine tune the core aspects of the game.
The scene is Miltown Malbay and the Clare players are going through their paces in a training session. The evening is cold, yet there is plenty of urgings from the sideline.
Marty Morrissey, a proud Clareman, is on hand to record a piece for RTÉ Radio's Countrywide programme.
Interestingly, the venue was where Kerry humiliated Clare in the 1979 Munster championship on a scoreline of 9-21 to 1-09. O'Dwyer recalls that game: "A lot of the Kerry subs were playing for their places on the team that afternoon. They were all keen to impress and that was the reason for the high score."
Fast forward through the years and Clare's new boss is enthusiastic about the season ahead. He explained: "The intention is to improve football in the county and that's what it's all about. I understand and I know that Clare is a hurling county, but I believe there is plenty of room for a competitive county football team.
"Clare had some outstanding players on Railway Cup teams, so a tradition of sorts has always been there. I've had an excellent response from the players – the majority of those we've asked to be part of the panel have come.
"The big date for me is in June when we enter the championship, but we'll be trying to get out of Division 4 of the league. I do intend intend to have a look at as many players as possible over the next few months.
"If you want to have a decent championship side, you have to assess all options."
O'Dwyer's footballing philosophy is essentially a simple one. "I will be telling the lads to kick the ball a lot more. The direct route is always the best and many training session will be used to improve the art of kicking.
"The more you practice something in life, the better you will be!"

Cinco de Mayo - BikeHugger Style

Selling at 50 x Earnings, operational problems, current market, comparable companies. To me , this is a no brainer. GL to all longs. Don't hold a position, own much better PM stocks. Couldn't help to express my opinion.
at least put an ounce of analysis in prior to proclaiming something is overvalued. Looking at PE ratio without any explanation doesn't mean a thing. If you did a bit of research you would have found their main mine isn't operational until January and that CAPEX for improvements and new mines ate into their earnings big time. Go ahead and provide a good reason but not saying anything except PE is overvalued is just plain dumb.

News came in yesterday that Downton Abbey will officially come to an end after its sixth season, although we have all been speculating as much this last while.
In a statement, executive producer Gareth Neame says: "Millions of people around the world have followed the journey of the Crawley family and those who serve them for the last five years.
"Inevitably there comes a time when all shows should end and Downton is no exception. We wanted to close the doors of Downton Abbey when it felt right.
"We can promise a final season full of all the usual drama and intrigue, but with the added excitement of discovering how and where they all end up."
The show's creator, Julian Fellowes added: "The Downton journey has been amazing for everyone aboard. People ask if we knew what was going to happen when we started to make the first series and the answer is that, of course, we had no idea.
"Exactly why the series had such an impact and reached so many people around the world, all nationalities, all ages, all types, I cannot begin to explain.
"But I do know how grateful we are to have been allowed this unique experience. I suspect the show will always be a principal marker in most of our careers as we set out from here, and if so, I consider that a blessing and a compliment."
However, for disappointed fans of the show, there is a silver lining to this as Nearne has said that they would be 'very interested' in a Downton movie.
'I can confirm that there have been rumours that there might be a Downton movie. Our position on that is that we would be very interested. It is definitely something that we're contemplating.
"It would be great fun to do. I think it would be a wonderful extension of everything people love about the TV show. But I can't confirm that it's definitely going to happen. It would take a lot of planning and thinking about. We shall see.'
Six seasons and a movie? Sounds about right to us!
While a spin-off also isn't off the table with Nearne saying; "There has again been endless speculation about this. There are no definite plans for a spin-off. [But] again, I can't rule this out."
What do you think, a spin-off and a movie, or should they leave it where it is?

The dogs love these knee caps and I'm happy that they have something safe to gnaw. I think they are messy but they make a great outdoor treat. Cocker spaniels, enthusiastic chewers, keeps them busy while I garden.
I purchased these knee caps because I was looking for a quality, inexpensive treat to keep my Great Dane chewing for a long time. These typically last him for about an hour, and he never loses interest. Great purchase.
Overall these were of great quality and very importantly made in the USA! I have had some that were a little more meatier than these but the pups love them!
My small dogs love these knee caps. They last them a long time. They are greasy at first but as the dogs work on them they get less messy. My only complaint is they are individually wrapped and are hard to open (especially with my dogs bouncing around barking and whining) Wish they were just loose in a resealable baggy.
I (and my dogs) really like the knee caps. They aren't so hard that I worry about anyone breaking teeth, but they do provide good chewing for a pretty long time. I do throw them away when they get small.

AVON - When you nearly double your standardized test scores while serving a mostly minority student population, the education industry's powers that be pay attention.
Take Avon Elementary School, for example, which is one of only five Colorado schools nominated for the national Blue Ribbon School Award by the Colorado Department of Education.
"We are extremely proud of what we have accomplished so far and honored by the nomination from the Colorado Department of Education," said Melisa Rewold-Thuon, Avon Elementary school principal. "During the next few months, we will be focused intently on our instruction and student growth in order to continue excelling and working toward attaining 'National Blue Ribbon School' status."
To be nominated, schools have to demonstrate academic consistency. In Avon Elementary's case, that included significant improvement.
Avon Elementary was nominated based on its Exemplary Improving status. That means that at least 40 percent of its students come from disadvantaged backgrounds and the school has closed its achievement gap - the gap between the school's highest performing students and its lowest performing students.
That data is gleaned from the school's performance on standardized tests.
Rewold-Thuon is bilingual and smiles as she tells you about her school in both English and Spanish.
Between 2009 and 2010, Avon Elementary saw its standardized test scores shoot up more than any other local school by far.
In 2009's Colorado Student Assessment Program (CSAP) scores, only 39 percent of Avon Elementary School's third graders were proficient readers. When the 2010 scores rolled in, 73 percent were proficient.
Just 16 percent of the school's students were native English speakers when they took that 2010 test.
The last time Avon Elementary's CSAP scores were that high, the student body's ethnic makeup was almost the exact opposite of what it is now, she said.
Of the 39 Avon Elementary students who took the CSAP in 2010, only four were native English speakers, Rewold-Thuon said.
Even though CSAP offers a Spanish version, very few Avon Elementary students used it. They took the test in English, and 73 percent scored as proficient or advanced.
It really does take a village, she said. The Vail Valley Foundation and the Youth Foundation provide tutoring and after-school athletic programs, along with music and dance programs, Rewold-Thuon said.
The National Blue Ribbon Schools Award recognizes public and private elementary, middle and high schools that excel regardless of race or socioeconomic status, said. The National Blue Ribbon Schools Award recognizes public and private elementary, middle and high schools that excel regardless of race or socioeconomic status, said U.S. Department of Education guidelines.
The National Blue Ribbon Schools program is part of the U. S. Department of Education's effort to recognize school leadership and practices, said Aba Kumi, director of the National Blue Ribbon Schools program.
"For many schools, attaining the National Blue Ribbon School award and recognition is a realization of a long-held dream," Kumi said. "National Blue Ribbon Schools serve as models for other schools throughout the nation and details of their achievements are shared on the U.S. Department of Education's website."
Each year since 1982, the U.S. Department of Education recognizes schools where students attain and maintain high academic standards, especially those who beat the odds, Kumi said. Over the past 29 years, the program has honored more than 6,000 schools.
"America's long-term economic prosperity and civic engagement depends on our children receiving a world-class education," U.S. Secretary of Education Arne Duncan said in a written statement. "National Blue Ribbon Schools are committed to accelerating student achievement and preparing students for success in college and careers. Their success is an example for others to follow."
The 2012 National Blue Ribbon Schools will be named in September. The winning schools will then be honored at an awards ceremony in Washington, DC, where each school receives a plaque and flag.

After being inspired by—what else—a viral video, Daniel Tosh got his staff together for a gigantic wheelbarrow race. Being that the chain was mainly full of men, the biggest complaint about the process was "the smell of balls."
Also of note: this episode was the 50th episode of Tosh.0 ever. Time flies!

Cybercrooks Digging for Tax Data
It's tax season, which means cyber-thieves are trawling the Web and sending counterfeit email in the hopes of snaring your personal tax data. And they've created websites with reasonable-seeming addresses and legitimate-seeming emails in order to lure unsuspecting citizens into clicking on the wrong link or downloading a virus-laden PDF.
They've been working on this particular scam for many months. Jeff Horne, director of threat research for anti-virus vendor Webroot, says an email account he set up to attract and study these types of email has received over one million phony tax-related messages since November.
These cyber-crooks also begin publishing malicious sites early in the tax season, with pages that allow people to download IRS forms for filing. "They automatically deliver the malware without you even realizing it," said Horne. Whether delivered via email or a visit to a malicious site, the viruses lurk on your hard drive looking for keywords related to tax filing, such as social security numbers, street addresses, employer names and income, and then sends it back to the cyber-crooks.
Horne offers says there are several ways people can protect themselves from this type of attack:
- Don't download documents, particularly PDFs, attached to email that purports to be from the IRS or a tax preparer. A lot of these messages seem legitimate because they've copied official letterhead and watermarks, but they're still fakes. "The government will never send you a form over email," said Horne;
- Make sure you're using the most recent version of your operating system and browser, including the most recent updates, and run some kind of anti-virus scan. "People can be infected [with malware] much earlier" than when they actually file, said Horne;
- When browsing the Web, use a browser that blocks so-called cross-site scripting (a kind of virus that hops from a malicious site onto your computer's hard drive). Safe browsers include Firefox, Chrome, and Internet Explorer 8 (Horne notes that earlier versions of IE don't, but Microsoft is touting this security feature for IE 8);
- Avoid filing taxes online using any wireless connection, but certainly don't file using unsecured public wireless hotspots like the ones provided by coffee shops;
- After you've filed, back up your tax data onto a CD or some other removable storage device, and completely erase it from your machine. "That includes wiping the browser cache and cookies, because some of these guys retroactively install malware and they can still get that data," said Horne.

Ginger - Information and Spice Variations
Ginger is one of the most widespread culinary spices. Originating in Asia, it spread to India, the Middle East, Africa and the Caribbean. Nearly every major cuisine uses ginger in some form, although it features particularly in Asian cooking. In the U.S., ginger is predominately used in sweet cooking (gingersnaps, gingerbread), but it pairs beautifully with garlic and is being used more for savory sauces and marinades. Fresh and dried ginger have noticeably different flavors, and are often used together in the same dish for a layered flavor.
Crystallized or Candied ginger is eaten by itself (it's highly addictive) both for flavor and as a cure for motion sickness and nausea, or used to add a delightful kick of flavor to stirfries, chicken salad, and baked goods.
China "Number One" Ginger, Whole Root Or Powder
Dehydrated Ginger root comes in whole and powdered form. It is very healthy and useful for baking, marinades and sauces. Once you find ginger creep…
Crystallized Ginger, Slices, Chunks or Nibs
Candied ginger makes a wonderful snack and is very good for the stomach. Crystallized, or candied, ginger is simply young slices of gingerroot cooke…

Redundancy of Communications Systems: Backup Power Private Land Mobile Radio Services: Selection and Assignment of Frequencies, and Transition of the Upper 200 Channels in the 800 MHz Band to EA Licensing
Final Rule.
In this document the Federal Communications Commission's (Commission) Public Safety and Homeland Security Bureau (Bureau) and Office of Managing Director (OMD) make nonsubstantive, editorial revisions to the Commission's rules. The Bureau and OMD make these revisions to delete certain rule provisions that are without current legal effect and obsolete. These nonsubstantive revisions are part of the Commission's ongoing examination and improvement of its processes and procedures. The revisions and the specific reasons for each one are set forth below.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Back to Top
This is a summary of the Bureau and OMD's Order, DA 11-1838, adopted and released on November 1, 2011. The full text of this document is available for inspection and copying during normal business hours in the FCC Reference Center (Room CY-A257), 445 12th Street SW., Washington, DC 20554. The complete text of this document also may be purchased from the Commission's copy contractor, Best Copy and Printing, Inc., 445 12th Street SW., Room, CY-B402, Washington, DC 20554. The full text may also be downloaded at: www.fcc.gov.
1. This Order deletes a rule setting forth backup power requirements for communications providers. This rule never took effect and ultimately was vacated in its entirety by the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia (DC Circuit). The rule, 47 CFR 12.2, is therefore without current legal effect and is deleted as obsolete.
2. This Order also deletes a rule providing that UHF television translators on Channels 70 to 83 must operate on a secondary basis to land mobile operations in the 800 MHz band and will not be protected from such operations. There are no UHF television translators operating on Channels 70 to 83, and the Commission has eliminated the TV allocation from these channels. Accordingly, this rule provision, 47 CFR 90.621(d), is without current legal effect and is deleted as obsolete.
3. This Order also deletes a provision that allocates specified channels for Basic Exchange Telecommunication Radio Service (BETRS) but expressly cautions that a pending FCC proposal could remove this allocation from these channels. The Commission removed the allocation in 2005. Accordingly, this provision, 47 CFR 90.621(h), is without current legal effect and is deleted as obsolete.
4. This Order also deletes rule provisions that provided a framework for the relocation of incumbent site-based licensees in the upper 200 channels of the 800 MHz Band by incoming geographically-based (EA) licensees. These provisions were a component of the 1995 reconfiguration of the 800 MHz band from site-based to geographic-based service that has since been completed. Accordingly, these provisions, 47 CFR 90.699(a)-(c), (e)-(f), are without current legal effect and are deleted as obsolete.
I. Procedural Matters Back to Top
A. Accessible Formats
5. To request materials in accessible formats for people with disabilities (Braille, large print, electronic files, audio format), send an email to email@example.com or call the Consumer & Governmental Affairs Bureau at 202-418-0530 (voice), 202-418-0432 (TTY).
B. Paperwork Reduction Act Analysis
6. The rules contained herein have been analyzed with respect to the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 and found to contain no new or modified form, information collection, and/or recordkeeping, labeling, disclosure, or record retention requirements, and will not increase or decrease burden hours imposed on the public. In addition, therefore, this Order does not contain any new or modified "information collection burden for small business concerns with fewer than 25 employees," pursuant to the Small Business Paperwork Relief Act of 2002, Public Law 107-198.
C. Congressional Review Act
7. The Commission will send a copy of this Order in a report to be sent to Congress and the Government Accountability Office pursuant to the Congressional Review Act ("CRA"), see 5 U.S.C. 801(a)(1)(A).
D. Effective Date of Rule
8. The rule amendments adopted in this Order and set forth in the attached Appendix are ministerial, nonsubstantive, editorial revisions of the rules under 47 CFR 0.231(b) and 0.392(e). The revisions adopted in this Order merely delete obsolete rule provisions and the Bureau and OMD find good cause to conclude that notice and comment procedures are unnecessary and would not serve any useful purpose. See 5 U.S.C. 553(b)(3)(B). Because the rules being deleted are obsolete and without current legal effect, the Bureau and OMD also find good cause to make these nonsubstantive, editorial revisions of the rules effective upon publication in the Federal Register. See 5 U.S.C. 553(d)(3).
II. Final Regulatory Flexibility Analysis Back to Top
9. Because this Order is being adopted without notice and comment, the Regulatory Flexibility Act, 5 U.S.C. 601 et seq., does not apply.

MOREHEAD, Ky. - Sam Umberg has joined the Morehead State football coaching staff, where he will assist with wide receivers.
Umberg spent the 2013 season as an assistant coach at his alma mater, North Gwinnett High School, in Suwanee, Ga. He coached wide receivers and assisted the offensive coordinator. He was also instrumental in film analysis and developing game plans.
"Sam brings a wealth of spread offense knowledge with him, and he is detail oriented," Head Coach Rob Tenyer said. "His experience at Valdosta State allowed him to assist with drills, scout teams, special teams, academics and recruiting."
Umberg was a student assistant coach at Valdosta State (Ga.) for five seasons. His primary duties were assisting with the offense and monitoring academic performance.
"I am very excited to be at Morehead State," Umberg said. "I have worked in our offensive system for many seasons now, so I am very familiar with the formations and strategies we use here for the most part. There is a great group of receivers returning and an excellent freshmen class to work with."
In his time as a collegiate coach, the Blazers were 41-16 and won the 2012 Division II National Championship. Valdosta State averaged more than 300 total yards per game all five seasons and more than 200 passing yards in four of five seasons.
Umberg coached all-region and First-Team All-Gulf South quarterback Cayden Cochran at Valdosta State. At North Gwinnett, he helped guide Vanderbilt signee Caleb Scott and Missouri signee Nate Brown, who combined for 2,071 yards and 31 touchdowns.
"Sam is a great addition to our staff," Tenyer said "I believe his knowledge and collegiate coaching experience will allow for an easy transition.
Umberg earned his bachelor's degree in history from Valdosta State in 2013.

From historical renovations
to water line replacement and construction of the new hospital, the U.S. Corps
of Engineers at Fort Riley seems to does it all.
"The corps is huge and does
everything from civil works projects, emergency response to maintenance of
waterways and inland waterways and reservoirs. We are the Army's construction agent,
so the corps handles all of the military's construction, the congressionally
appropriated projects," said Anthony Cady, program manager forward, Kansas City
District, U.S. Army Corps of Engineers.
"And the majority of the
Air Force's as well, along with the Reserves," added Mark Schuler, area engineer,
Kansas City District, U.S. Army Corps of Engineers.
The Corps of Engineers
office at Fort Riley is made up of about 30 engineers who work closely with the
Engineering Division in the Directorate of Public Works.
The organization also
provides emergency management, civil works and environmental assistance.
The Corps also often
collaborates with the Environmental Protection Agency to complete projects.
"The Corps is a national
tool, not just within defense, but any other government agency. When something different
needs to be built, quite often, the agency in need comes to the Corps of
Engineers," Schuler said.
The Kansas City district
for the Corps, where the Fort Riley office is based, responds when floods or
other natural disasters occur.
"The Corps immediately sent
an emergency response team out to Joplin, Missouri, to start working with debris
removal (after a catastrophic tornado hit in 2011.) They also did a lot of
structural repairs," Cady said.
The majority of the Corps'
projects at Fort Riley consist of sustainment, restoration and modernization.
These projects include
historical renovations, water line replacements and electrical repairs.
The Corps is currently
working on a few dozen projects at Fort Riley. Part of its function is to
oversee contracts in addition to planning and executing.
"We are involved in so many
things. Whatever the post needs, quite often, they can come to the Corps of
Engineers and find that help," Schuler said.
If the expertise needed
isn't available at Fort Riley, then the Corps will collaborate with its
district office in Kansas City.
"Our district functions
like any other architect, engineering and consultant firm, but we also do
emergency management," Schuler said.
The largest single project
the Kansas City district has ever done is located on Fort Riley and currently under
The new hospital will be
the largest project executed by the district when it is completed, and the
Corps of Engineers at Fort Riley assisted with the process.
"I think that when you talk
about the Corps and the entire district, you have to talk about the hospital," Cady
The vast project is not
only large in scale but also detailed and of high quality, all of which he said
takes time to complete and ensure all standards are met.
"The quality that's
required for that facility will be there when the ribbon's cut," Cady added.
The hospital will boast
many upgrades from the old one, including more rooms, better facilities and
many green or energy efficient features.
"The hospital will service
more people in a greater degree than any other facility the Corps has worked on
at Fort Riley," Schuler said.
Another recent project that
had a large impact on the Fort Riley population was the replacement of water lines
on Historic Main Post.
"One project I was most
happy to work on was the water line replacements on main post," Cady said. "We
brought new water, new water pipes and meters into every single building --
including housing and down on main post -- and replaced all of the water mains.
The magnitude and level of detail that project took and the improvement of the quality
of basic drinking water on main post made it one of my most rewarding
The designs for the water
line replacement project were completed in the Kansas City district office and
after nearly two years the project is just about complete according to Cady.
"They are virtually
finished with all of the facilities are on new water," he said.
Projects like the water
lines often take a long time to complete and are intrusive to residents and workers
at Fort Riley. However, Schuler explained the prolonged inconvenience is a
result of the challenges maintenance work presents.
"It's tougher to do
maintenance projects than new construction as they often have to be done in
phases," he said.
Cady added it's also tough
when they have to dig into people's yards, but it's necessary and the outcome
is worth it.
Less intrusive projects the
Corps of Engineers have taken on in the interest of environmental preservation include
assisting the EPA with a pilot program to build a membrane biological reactor
and repurposing a portion of Camp Funston that was occupied by portable
"Those trailers on Camp
Funston were no longer needed and expensive to maintain. There were 89 of
them," Cady said. "So now we are sending that area back to grassland."
Without the Corps of
Engineers, DPW would be left with the responsibility of many of their projects.
Based on the magnitude of
what the Corps of Engineers actually do here, it's unlikely that the post
itself would have the manpower to get as much done without them, Cady said.
"The beauty of us being
here is we work with and personally know all the primary stakeholders on the installation,
and they know us," he said. "We know what's important to them; and we know
their intent as we design and build infrastructure for the post."
"There are no other
organizations that can do all the different things the Corps of Engineers
does," Schuler added.

This, the sweetest wine of the Series, finished in the Top 100 wines of 2006 in The Wine Enthusiasts end-of-year wrote that it unfolds slowly in the glass, gradually revealing layers of depth and flavor. Coffee, toffee and date notes emerge, followed by earthy, almost truffley flavors. Powerful and assertive on the long finish.
New York Malmsey demonstrates why Madeira can be one of the planet's greatest dessert wines. It marries with an astonishing number of desserts, its kaleidoscopic flavors bonding with chocolate, nuts, citrus and dark fruits. But it can also be served during the meal, with foie gras, sweetbreads and almost any dish that has a rich, sweet sauce.

The Press Newspaper
The Press Newspaper
Less than a month after being placed on administrative leave, Genoa Police Chief Randy Hill has resigned.
Mayor Mark Williams announced the resignation during village council's Dec. 6 meeting, according to Eric Hise, a member of council. He declined to comment on the resignation, saying it was a personnel matter.
Garth Reynolds, village administrator, also confirmed the resignation but referred calls to Mayor Williams, who also is the village safety director to whom the chief reports.
An e-mail message and phone message left with the mayor were not returned prior to The Press deadline.
After an executive session of council on Nov. 16, Chief Hill was placed on paid administrative leave.
Hill was hired as the chief of the village police department in October, 2008. Prior to that he was a member of the Perry Township Police Department.
He was being paid an annual salary of $49,200 when he resigned as Genoa's chief.
Oregon City Council on Monday will consider an ordinance to allow Mayor Mike Seferian to submit an application for a $468,113 Transportation Enhancement Grant to the Toledo Metropolitan Area Council of Governments (TMACOG) to help fund the Navarre Avenue Beautification Project.
The grant would help the city enhance Navarre Avenue from the CSX railroad to Coy Road.
The city will commit $117,028, or 20 percent toward the $585,141 project.
The project consists of replacing the existing unsightly gravel shoulders on Navarre Avenue just west of the I-280 exit ramp to the CSX railroad with bioswales, a five-foot wide paved shoulder, a permeable concrete strip, and a five- foot wide sidewalk, according to Public Service Director Paul Roman.
The project will also include landscape lighting and decorative stone for the green space at the I-280 exit ramp. Decorative street lighting will be added to the existing pedestals on the north side of Navarre Avenue between Wheeling Street and Coy Road.
Wouldn't you like to be a lighthouse keeper, if only for a few days?
The Toledo Harbor Lighthouse Society plans to have that opportunity available once a $1.5-2 million renovation project is complete.
"Once it's restored, we're hoping in two to three years, people will be able to stay out there three to four days a week," THLS President Sandy Bihn said. "It would be about four people, two pairs in each room that obviously know each other and apply together.
"They would pay some amount to stay there. They would be the keepers at the lighthouse so that when boaters and the school children will hopefully come out and tour it, it will be manned from spring until fall. So it will be a long period of time. We are giving priority to becoming a keeper to members, so the longer you've been a member, you get first and then second and whatever. A lot of people are enthused about the project and we've gotten a lot of positive feedback."
The Toledo Harbor Lighthouse is located about five miles north of Maumee Bay State Park's shores. The lighthouse marks the entrance to the Toledo shipping channel where Lake Erie and Maumee Bay meet. Boaters are generally destined for the Maumee River.
Lake board to unveil high school plans
The reception will start at 6 p.m. and be held in the middle school cafeteria.
Jeff Carpenter, district treasurer, said floor plans, which will include computerized three dimensional images as well as architectural renderings will be presented.
The district is leasing a building on Tracy Road from Owens Community College for high school students.
After lengthy negotiations with the district's insurance carrier, the school board proceeded with having the former high school building on Lemoyne Road razed.

One Man, Two Wives and Many Accepted Forms of Violence in Pakistan
By DECLAN WALSHMAY
LONDON — The murder case of Farzana Parveen, it seemed, could hardly have turned more tragic or gruesome: a 25-year-old pregnant woman, bludgeoned to death with a brick by family members on a busy street, for having married the man she loved.
Then, in recent days, came a dark twist.
It turned out that Ms. Parveen's husband, Muhammad Iqbal — who had been photographed over the bloodied body of his wife, his face etched with grief — had been a black widower five years earlier. Mr. Iqbal, 45, said he had killed his first wife to be with Ms. Parveen, and later won his freedom, legally, using an Islamic provision of Pakistani law. "I strangled her," he said of his first wife in a telephone interview. "I liked Farzana since she was a child."
The attack on Ms. Parveen in Lahore, Pakistan, on Tuesday has generated global outrage, a public intervention from Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif and an unusually aggressive effort by the Pakistani police to pursue those responsible. By Friday morning five men, including Ms. Parveen's father, had been arrested, but officers were still searching for her two brothers, one of whom faces accusations of beating her to death with a brick.
Mr. Iqbal with a picture of Ms. Parveen. He strangled his first wife to be with Ms. Parveen and was freed under Islamic law.
To some, Ms. Parveen's death was a sign of growing religious intolerance in Pakistan, an impression burnished by news media reports of a stoning, an image with echoes of Taliban-era Afghanistan.
Yet rights activists and analysts said the deaths of Mr. Iqbal's two wives were not a product of religious extremism, but rather stemmed from a deep rooted societal prejudice against women and what they call a flawed legal provision that allows killers to, quite literally, get away with murder.
"The state has created an enabling environment for honor killings," said Saroop Ijaz, a lawyer and commentator whose office is yards from the spot where Ms. Parveen was felled. "A woman being disciplined by her family is seen as a private matter by the police, the courts and the law."
Under an Islamic provision of Pakistani law, a convicted murderer can avoid punishment either by obtaining forgiveness from the victim's family or through payment of "blood money," also known as diyat.
The rich and powerful often abuse the law to avoid punishment, but rights activists say it can also foster a dangerous sense of impunity.
"It creates the feeling that you can kill a person in broad daylight and get away with it," said Ali Dayan Hasan, a former director for Human Rights Watch in Pakistan.
In Mr. Iqbal's case, police records show that after killing his first wife, Ayesha Bibi, in 2009, he absconded for four years, during which he stayed with Ms. Parveen's family in Nankana Sahib, a district roughly 60 miles west of Lahore.
The police captured Mr. Iqbal in April 2013 but his incarceration was short-lived. His son, his first wife's next of kin, legally pardoned him for that killing and he was set free. Months later, he asked Ms. Parveen to marry him.
But that union was blighted by a dispute with Ms. Parveen's father over the dowry payment, and came to a bloody conclusion Tuesday outside the Lahore High Court. Her family, who had chosen a cousin to marry her instead, had filed a police complaint saying that Mr. Iqbal had coerced her into marriage, and she was headed to court to testify in the case.
As men crowded around Ms. Parveen, who was three months pregnant, a man fired a gun and the bullet grazed her ankle, said Umer Riaz Cheema, a police investigator. She tried to flee but was pulled to the ground by her shawl.
Her father, Muhammad Azeem, hit her with a brick taken from the side of the road. Then her brother Zahid and a cousin named Mazhar Iqbal took up the attack, the investigator said.
After Ms. Parveen died, her family continued to beat her body with a shoe. Had she reached the courthouse, her lawyer said, she would have testified that she had married Mr. Iqbal of her own free will.
The independent Human Rights Commission of Pakistan reported 869 so-called honor killings in 2013
