Telecommunications company CenturyLink is expanding the width and depth of its public cloud, putting it in a better position to compete with more prominent cloud providers.
CenturyLink said today it will expand its cloud infrastructure footprint in the coming months from nine to 13 data centers. New ones will pop up in Santa Clara, Calif.; Sterling, Va.; London; and Paris.
Also, CenturyLink is making available a new type of server instance called Hyperscale. On this new service, developers can deploy hip, nonrelational databases like MongoDB, Couchbase, and Cassandra for storing and serving up unstructured data.
Instead of relying on a combination of reliable hard disk drives and fast flash storage, Hyperscale uses only flash. The service is priced by the hour.
The new service bears some resemblance to flash-backed servers available from cloud providers Amazon Web Services, CloudSigma, DigitalOcean, GoGrid, and Peak.
Meanwhile, the infrastructure expansion comes as other cloud providers are making similar moves, albeit sometimes in vastly different geographies. China has been an area of focus for IBM and Amazon. Alibaba, based in China, is looking abroad. VMware just made its vCloud Hybrid Service generally available in Europe with a data center in the English city of Slough.
CenturyLink, based in Monroe, La., might not be the top cloud out there, but it's one worth watching. Its cloud-building efforts have been swift in the past year, with acquisitions of platform-as-a-service provider AppFog and infrastructure-as-a-service provider Tier 3. Cloud customers include Channel IQ, Exterro, Highjump Software, and Obeo.

Tough Times Continue For North Sea Oil
In 2009 the U.K. economy shrank every quarter, government borrowing rose to crippling levels and sterling took a pounding. As if that wasn't enough, we learned today that another major plank of the U.K. economy–the North Sea oil industry–also just had its worst ever year.
The struggling U.K. oil industry brought just 140 million barrels-equivalent of previously untapped oil and gas resources into production in 2009, the smallest amount in its history, according to a report from consultancy Wood Mackenzie. Just eight new oil and gas fields were started up, the lowest number since the dog days of 2001 when the oil price was around $25 a barrel.
This is bad news for the North Sea, where the bulk of oil and gas fields are in steep decline and nearing the end of their productive lives. U.K. oil production was down 10% year-on-year in the third quarter of 2009 and gas output was down 18.5%, according to figures from the Department of Energy and Climate Change.
That decline rate will accelerate if the industry repeats its 2009 performance, bringing just one new barrel of new oil and gas into production for approximately every seven it produced.
This is also bad news for the U.K.'s mounting public deficit. North Sea oil and gas producers paid £12.9 billion into the Treasury's coffers in the 2008-2009 financial year, 28% of total corporation tax receipts. That is forecast to drop sharply to around 20% next year and the year after that.
The industry says the only way to reverse this trend is to give greater tax incentives to companies to develop new fields, but neither the government or the opposition Conservative Party are likely to make such a gift to big oil, even if it were to yield greater future revenues as the industry claims.

|Spotting Successfully
|If there is one position in a Cheerleading stunt that is the most important, you'd have to seriously consider it to be the spotter or scoop.
Being a spotter (sometimes called third base or scoop) in Cheerleading is no easy task. The responsibility of preventing injury to the flyer rests on the spotter's shoulders or rather in their arms. A spotter should always be in contact with the performing surface and should be an alert, fast thinking, aggressive, and preferably taller person. They are also usually the person that calls everything in a stunt.
A spotter assists the flyer into the stunt but is not the primary support. They help steady or balance the stunt and most importantly, help to catch the flyer, if she falls, so as to prevent injury. Their role in stunting is huge and should never be taken lightly.
Skills, Abilities and Tips on Spotting
As you can see, it takes a very special person to fill the position of spotter and the importance of this position should never be underestimated.
Visit the About Cheerleading
forum and tell us what your position is and why you think it's important
or just read what other Cheerleaders have to say about flying, basing
and spotting.

I'm kinda feeling low today. I'm hoping to snap the fuck out of it and come back and actually string words together, instead of posting one of the creepiest videos ever.
Also: Other, Better Shit I've Written (a.k.a. I Get Around):
10 Ways To (Not) Entertain Your Kid On An Airplane. I have a feeling the comments will be troll-worthy.
7 of the Most Baffling Products Aimed At Parents
And a repost of an old favorite: When "He's My Dad" Makes Everyone Feel Awkward
We Mommy Bloggers get a lot of shit.
Not just because we have a dumb name (I mean, MOMMY BLOGGERS? It sounds like some sort of weird disease or exotic insult), or because we're all angling to get free shit, but because we're talking about our KIDS! Online! Without their consent!
(all together now)
*wrings hands*
/end hand wringing.
I get what they're saying. I do.
If you spend all day, every day, discussing the most intimate details of your kids life, well, that's maybe not okay. So we each do our best to write things that WILL be okay when our children stumble across them someday. I mean, as we've learned, the Internet is a small, small place and whatever you've written WILL be read eventually by the one person who you don't want to read it.
That's a no-brainer.
I've never kept what I "do" under wraps in my family. I don't necessarily broadcast it to the small crotch parasites because they'd be just as likely to try and fart on me as they would be interested in it. But the Big One, Ben, well, he knows what I do. Sorta.
We're doing a bullying carnival (much less cotton candy than you'd expect) on Saturday over on Band Back Together. Basically, this means we're collecting as many bullying posts as we can find (join us, y'all!) to offer as many different perspectives on bullying as possible. This comes on the heels of the tragic suicides of a couple of kids after repeated, intense bullying.
I asked my son to write for us.
He's been the victim of numerous bullies in his short ten years. If anyone knows how a bully makes them feel, it's Ben.
Last night, I sat him down and asked him to write 5 paragraphs for us over at the Band about bullies.
He. Was. Thrilled.
And he did it.
What I got was one of the sweetest, awesomest things I've ever read. What I also got were questions about what it was, precisely, that Mom does. He knows I'm a "writer" and I have a "blog," but I haven't really discussed my other projects with him. I explained what Band Back Together was and how we ran things and the stigmas we were trying to combat.
He thought it was the coolest thing ever.
I, of course, was bowled over. I figured he'd think it was "lame" or "stupid" or something, but no. He thinks it's great. I know. I KNOW. What. The. Fuck? I thought kids were supposed to hate whatever their parents did. Maybe I'm doing this parenting thing wrong – perhaps I need to become an assassin or something to fill the kid with angst.
When he was done with his bullying post, he told me, very sweetly, that any time I needed him to write a post, he'd be happy to help out.
I actually had to fight back tears. We all three (me, Ben, The Daver) did. What an awesome kid.
Guess that means all that hand-wringing was in vain.
Fill in the blank?
We live in interesting times.
"There's a study," Ben said, "that shows that people who watch Fox News are less informed than those who watch no news at all."
I laughed. Mostly because I can't imagine why a DANGER FEAR SEGMENT story about escalators "STAIRWAY TO DANGER!" or a story about applesauce "AN APPLE A DAY MAKES THE CORONERS DAY!" would be considered news by anyone anywhere. But the world needs ditch-diggers too, so I try not to think about it.
I get my news primarily by The Twitter. Crowd-sourcing seems to be the best way to manage news that's important to me. If that means it's news about the hats at the Royal Wedding, so be it.
Last year, during The NotoriousSNOMG, I sat at my computer as the wind was a-howling and the snow was outrageous. Roads were blocked, the power threatened us, lights flickering, the occasionally brown-out making me wonder when we'd have to huddle in the basement for warmth. They shut down Lake Shore Drive (arguably my favorite road), The Twitter told me, and I realized how fucking serious the situation was.
My friends all over the Chicagoland area tweeted back and forth about what they were experiencing, which helped me see what I was in for. Also: made me shit myself, but that's neither here nor there.
Months later, on September 11, we ran a blog carnival on Band Back Together to share stories about that day. I sat on Skype with various members of the board from the moment I dragged my sorry ass out of bed and onto the computer. I was on until well after midnight that day, editing, scheduling, and posting stories – our stories – about where we were that day.
We ended up with fifty different perspectives.
It was FASCINATING.
Not so much that people would want to share their "Where Were You" stories, but because we, as a community blog, we able to see perspectives from people who were actually there, people who lived overseas, people who lived nowhere near the Twin Towers, and those who were children (now adults) at the time.
Every other story I'd read, every magazine I'd poured through, they only posted a few random stories – and while they were interesting, they didn't offer the variety of perspectives that The Band did. They weren't glossed over, our stories, they weren't edited to be more or less exciting, they simply WERE. Because we WERE.
When the Twin Towers were attacked in 2001, I was not a blogger. I had a single email address: firstname.lastname@example.com and no chat service. I'd never figured out why I should go into a chat room, besides pretending to have fake cyber sex with someone, and barely used the computer for anything beyond writing research papers.
Now, I've been blogging for longer than I care to admit. If there's a social media outlet, I'm probably on it. I've learned what works and what doesn't.
Being able to use social media for things other than telling the world that, "Anxiety can eat a hot bag of dicks," well, that's incredible. And that's what we saw when we ran our September 11 carnival. It's the premise of Band Back Together – a group site where you can read a variety of stories about any one topic to feel less alone.
It's why I trust the unfiltered tweets of my friends over Fox News. It's why I believe you when you write on your blogs. It's why what we do here, in this virtual space, is so much more than any one of us could have predicted. It is why we must continue to do what we do – whether we have five readers or fifty. What we do, it all matters.
It's a brave new world out there, Pranksters.
And I, for one, am fucking proud to be a part of it.

To enable individuals to create narrowly targeted, local niche publications with local advertising
Printcasting will allow individuals to easily create ad-supported, customized publications with a mix of local news and information. The software will help aggregate feeds from news organizations, bloggers or newsletters, for example, so that would-be publishers can pick and choose among them to create a niche publication. The Printcasting model then will guide users through placing articles, photos and ads onto a template that either could be delivered by e-mail or printed at home and distributed. For example, a publication for reef-diving photographers could include ads for nearby dive shops or underwater cameras. The idea is to pair localized ads and content to create targeted publications.

Conservation in Focus: #Get2KnowCaravaggio
For the first time, the Cleveland Museum of Art will conserve one of its treasures in front of museum visitors. he Crucifixion of Saint Andrew by Michelangelo Merisi da Caravaggio was painted in 1606–7 and is among the most important paintings in the museum's collection. Starting today, audiences will be able to witness firsthand the skill, planning, research, and technical analysis that go in to a major conservation project. A sophisticated paintings conservation lab will be constructed in the museum's focus gallery so that visitors can watch the process unfold. Conservator of Paintings Dean Yoder will be in the gallery on weekdays working on the first phase: cleaning the painting by removing deteriorated varnish layers and old retouching.

Linda Spoonster Schwartz, RN, MSN '84, DrPH '98, FAAN, Commissioner of the Connecticut Department of Veterans' Affairs, was recently installed as the president of the National Association of State Directors of Veterans' Affairs (NASDVA) for 2010-2011. Dr. Schwartz is the first woman to hold this position in NASDVA's 65-year history.
NASDVA is an organization comprised of the top veterans' affairs officials in each state, the District of Columbia and the U.S. territories. NASDVA members are tasked by their Governors as the "office of prime responsibility" for providing services to veterans and are uniquely qualified to be a vital resource which can augment Federal programs, improve the identification of needs, coordinate local resources and ultimately enhance the quality of care and services to America's veterans and their families.
Dr. Schwartz was originally appointed commissioner of the Connecticut Department of Veterans' Affairs in 2003, becoming the first woman and nurse to hold this position in state history. She served as an officer and flight nurse in the United States Air Force from 1967 to 1986, both on active duty and as an Air Force Reservist. She retired from the military in 1986 after sustaining injuries in an aircraft accident while conducting a mission as an Air Force flight nurse.
"Serving as NASDVA's president during these challenging times for today's veterans is both an honor and a serious responsibility," said Dr. Schwartz. "Our states and the Federal government must work even more closely together to maximize available benefits and services for both our aging veterans and those returning each day from Afghanistan and Iraq. I intend to use this position to continue my strong advocacy for veterans which began over 30 years ago."
Dr. Schwartz holds a doctorate degree in public health from the Yale School of Medicine and a master's in nursing from Yale University School of Nursing, where she is an associate clinical professor. She is a past president of the Connecticut Nurses Association and Connecticut Nurses Foundation and has served on the National Board of Directors of the American Nurses Association, the Vietnam Veterans of America and the Vietnam Women's Memorial, Inc. In 2009, Sigma Theta Tau International, the Honor Society of Nursing, bestowed the Archon Award to Schwartz for her devotion to nursing practice and to healing the wounds of war.
NASDVA provides a medium for the exchange of ideas and information between states so that issues facing veterans and their families nationwide can be addressed uniformly and effectively. NASDVA is also actively involved in the development, analysis and implementation of veterans' legislation both at the state and Federal levels.
Collectively, state governments commit more than $4 billion each year of their own resources in support of our nation's veterans and their families. States are second only to the Federal VA in providing benefits and services to the men and women who defend our nation.
Prior to her installation as NASDVA president, Dr. Schwartz served for several years on the Association's executive committee, most recently as senior vice president. She has represented NASDVA frequently before Congress, testifying on a variety of topics related to the care and conditions of today's veterans.

By Ali Sanders, Rapid Equipping ForceMarch 9, 2012
GILBERT, Ariz. (March 9, 2012) -- Colonel Peter Newell, Director of the U.S. Army's Rapid Equipping Force based in Fort Belvoir, Va., visited students last month at Highland High School in Gilbert, Ariz., to share the importance of science, technology, engineering and math to respond to today's Army's growing demands for innovation.
The military is a catalyst for groundbreaking innovation, as it increasingly relies on robotics, technological capabilities and scientific analysis to combat its agile enemies. This trend is expected to grow in future conflicts, and Col. Newell expressed the importance of a new generation of innovators to meet that demand.
Featured guests accompanying Col. Newell were three state-of-the-art robots currently in use in the war in Afghanistan to locate improvised explosives and enemy insurgents. RHEX, SUG-V, and Recon Scout performed a "Battle of the 'Bots" to showcase the unique capabilities of each robot.
Operated by Sgts. 1st Class Mario Whitaker and Joshua Marion, the robots displayed abilities to be thrown over walls and onto roofs and land upright; to crawl over obstacles; to pick up, handle and replace items; and to adeptly maneuver throughout their environment. Each robot collects visual reconnaissance via cameras, which give Soldiers in theater a better operational awareness of their surroundings and the dangers therein.
The students, comprised mostly of Robotics Club and JROTC members, were enthusiastic about the Army's interests in their individual ideas and abilities, asking relevant questions and discussing their own ideas. Following the presentation, Col. Newell invited the students to operate and evaluate the robots.
With Soldiers' needs being as dynamic and evolving as modern warfare, troops will increasingly rely on the ability of future generations to innovate and develop game-changing, groundbreaking capabilities to save lives and defeat enemies.
Hanging on the wall that served as a backdrop to the Col's presentation were the words, "Upon the education of the people the fate of the nation depends," by Benjamin Disraeli. No words better encapsulate the Army's effort to engage students in developing life-saving capabilities at a young age.
For additional information about REF's robotics efforts call REF Public Affairs at 703-704-9433.
About the Army's Rapid Equipping Force
The Rapid Equipping Force, headquartered at Fort Belvoir, Virginia, rapidly supports deployed Soldiers' needs to defeat an adaptive enemy. The REF works in daily partnerships with industry, academia, military leaders, and other government agencies to support warfighter requirements. The organization responds to immediate needs in the field and provides readily employable capabilities to enhance lethality and survivability. Using a combination of commercial and government off-the-shelf products and developmental technologies, the REF enables the Army to remain ahead of an adaptive enemy and save Soldiers' lives.

NEW YORK - Parkersburg native Morgan Spurlock ("One Direction: This is Us" and "Supersize Me") and a children's cable network are casting a documentary project about middle school students who feel like they "just don't fit in."
The documentary is looking for suburban students in the continental U.S. between the ages of 10-13. If a child is selected to participate, Spurlock's production company, Warrior Poets, would film with your child for approximately three days in January and February.
"We'd love to feature some Parkersburg kids! It will be a documentary series just for kids," Claresa Mandola, casting director at Warrior Poets, wrote in an email.

Morgan Spurlock
"It would be great to film this in Morgan's hometown" (of Parkersburg), Mandola said.
Do you have a tween that walks to the beat of her own drum and is often misunderstood by her peers? Do classmates poke fun at your child for being one of the bigger students in his class, even though he's a healthy and happy kid?
Is your child incredibly intelligent or creative but just doesn't fit in with other kids her own age? Is your tween a recent immigrant struggling to navigate American culture without abandoning his native culture?
If you feel your tween child has an interesting story to tell and would be comfortable sharing it, then Warrior Poets wants to hear from you, Mandola said.
This series will take an inside look at the lives of tweens in America. "We are giving a select few kids the unique opportunity to share their stories with the world and to inspire other kids by showing them that they're not alone as they navigate these exciting but sometimes awkward years," a press release states.
To tell the production company more about your unique child, visit the website for instructions on making a home video application: www.wpcasting.net. Or if you have questions, email Warrior Poets at firstname.lastname@example.com.
Information on Spurlock and his company can be found at: morganspurlock.com, warrior-poets.com
Spurlock, who was born in Parkersburg and lived in Beckley, is a New York City-based writer, director and producer. His first film, "Super Size Me," premiered at the Sundance Film Festival in 2004, winning Best Directing honors.
The film went on to win the inaugural Writers Guild of America best documentary screenplay award as well as garner an Academy Award nomination for best feature documentary. Since then he has directed, produced and distributed multiple film and TV projects, including the critically acclaimed FX television series, "30 Days," and the films "Where in the World is Osama Bin Laden?", "Confessions of a Superhero," "Czech Dream," "Chalk," "The Future of Food," and "What Would Jesus Buy?"
Spurlock is working on the series Inside Man for CNN, as well as This Is Us, a 3D documentary following the musical group One Direction, which opened last summer.

Massage is a great recovery tool. Most of the professional- and international-level athletes in weightlifting, cycling, and other sports all use it regularly. It's particularly useful if you have a knowledgable therapist who understands anatomy and fascia and can work on soft tissue, break up knots, relieve pressure around joints, etc.
Sometimes I travel and I'll book a massage. I ask about the therapists' backgrounds and choose carefully. They don't seem like they're used to being grilled prior to a session. And when I walk in they start up with their little aroma therapy schtick and I have to let them know that I'm here with an agenda. I've got tight IT bands. I want you to really mash on the calves and achillies area too. Loosen that up. Get some quad and hip flexor stretching in after that. Look for knots in my back. Really focus on the traps and neck. Attack the upper pecks and anterior delts. Get my shoulders to open up and sit back. Then . . .
And she's looking at me like WTF? Should I be taking notes?

GUI GWEN.NET Another small but great projectPosted Wednesday, 21 December, 2011 - 16:35 by migueltk
Today, thanks to StrongCod3r have known of this project Gwen.net is a GUI for OpenGL-OpenTK simply fantastic!.
Do not hesitate, download the source and use in your projects.
- migueltk's blog
- Login or register to post comments
This looks very interesting thanks for sharing!
Great work miguel as usual! Keep it up. Thanks for the share.
I've been playing around with the colors of the skin and I got this other darker skin. Obscure-Skin link.
I love Gwen, I only find one problem, it is very slow. On my computer the frame rate per second (FPS) for Gwen is about 240 and for Bixion2D is about 1000, the difference is remarkable.
On the project page Gwen.net I added an entry in the "issues" that solves the resizing.
Are you guys using the latest version from SVN ?
When I run the OpenTK unit-test sample the 'Unit tests' panel on the left is empty. I can click the buttons that are supposed to be in there.
Everything else seems to work. I can't seem to figure out why it's not rendering the elements inside the 'Unit tests' panel.
Anyone having the same problem or am I experiencing a driver issue?
Assure that the image resources (like DefaultSkin.png) are in the binary folder, either by copying them there or by changing the "Copy to Output" property in the respective sample project.
[edit:] You might need to grab the DefaultSkin.png from the gwen subversion repository, the one in the GWEN.NET seems outdated.
Ok thanks
works now!
The DefaultSkin.png from the 'Gwen.Sample.OpenTK' directory was causing the problems.
The one from the 'media' folder works fine.
Only difference in the textures seems to be the colour swatches at the bottom.
The performance problems seems to be related to calling GL.Flush().
It's called way to much. I think with some care you don't need any at all.
Yes, I also think the problem is so many calls to GL.Flush (). The code needs revision.
Do the text functions work fine for anybody? For example the TextBox test (editable text) is quite off for the text selection here, or the button spacing (StatusBar test) looks wrong.
The text renders fine, but the cursor placement and selection is indeed wrong.
I managed to make it run faster
as reference the C++ DX9 example runs at ~500 fps ( OpenGL sample was locked at 60 fps )
and now the C# OpenTK sample runs at ~1000 fps similar to the C++ SFML sample.
I did the following:
* Removed all the GL.Flush calls and use one big array of vertices
* Only call draw when swapping textures
* Removed scissor test and replaced it with software scissor test, so it never has to change renderstates
* Removed GL.GetBoolean and GL.GetInteger and just stored the values in C#
* Changed primitive type from triangles to quads
* Removed Z component of the vertices
I think the slowest thing left atm would be the number of texture changes used to render al the text.
Didn't look at the CPU usage yet, so might run even faster with some more work :-)
Also I'm not sure about the way GL.DrawArray is used, would it be faster to use a VBO ?

Premier League, but wants to improve his own individual performance.
The Spanish international has left a significant early impression on Arsenal supporters, as he has quickly emerged to be a focal point of the side's offensive play.
Cazorla signed for the Gunners this summer in what was believed to be a £17 million deal from Malaga, and has really bought into the club's footballing philosophy.
Despite this, the player knows that he has to increase his contribution to even higher levels, telling the club's official website: "Here it seems that teams' first priority is to attack instead of defending their goal, which is great. It's a huge change for me but I hope to keep on improving."
The summer signing was also torn when questioned on a long running debate of whether the Premier League is better than La Liga.
"It's difficult trying to pick one [European] league over the others. There are massive clubs in many of them, especially in the Spanish and the English leagues," he added.
"There are very good teams competing with each other, for example in European competitions with Chelsea winning the Champions League last year, and Barcelona winning it before that. It's very difficult to choose between the two."
Santi Cazorla will be hoping to build upon his positive start this weekend at Old Trafford as his Arsenal side take on Manchester United.

It is hard for me to believe that it has been eight months since I became the director for the Sikeston-Miner Convention and Visitors Bureau. It has been a wonderful experience and I have thoroughly enjoyed every moment of it.
My first big project was the Trike Riders International Rally which took place in July and brought close to 1,000 people to our area. I am happy to report that they had such a great time and were so well received by Sikeston-Miner residents that they have already made arrangements to hold their rally here again in 2009 with an expected turnout of well over last year's participants.
As you know, I have also had the opportunity to attend various conventions and seminars this past year. It has been thrilling to learn that many tour operators, event planners, meeting planners and destination marketing organizations are interested in our area and do in fact recommend the Sikeston-Miner area as mini vacation destinations. Due to the gas crunch this summer, some of them even extended their journey from a one day trip to a two-three day stay.
And finally with the Christmas season upon us, please take advantage of the many shopping opportunities we have in the Sikeston-Minor area. We have a variety of shops that will fit your gift giving needs and numerous sales personnel that will be more than happy to help you find that special gift or gifts you are looking for.
If you have any ideas, or if I can help you with an upcoming event or party, just give me a call at 573-471-6362. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you all!

Hi all,
while being a frequent reader of IxDA emails this is the first topic I'd like to discuss in this list.
Just a few words about myself: I am a german postgrad student currently attending a 2-year Master course in Interaction Design in Germany. With a background in Urban Planning / Urban Design I am driving myself into fields of interactive products which I find both challenging and exciting.
During the last weeks I have thought a lot about the question of what it actually needs to anticipate trends in technology and society. We have read some texts (Vannevar Bush, John Maeda, Don Norman) in the history&culture-course and I think this is basically the final question which emerged during this time. I have started to write an essay and at this point I am looking for some more inspiration as well as meanwhile I am really caught in this issue and would like to share thoughts. ;)
I think this question is really interesting for designers as we can play a main role. I think about this topic in terms of the idea of user experience design, means: people can only anticipate technology they understand. On the other hand I think it requires a certain openness of people to experience technology instead of being afraid. Which is, of course also connected with design. What I want to design are friendly products which will be understand by the user and which don't patronize people. So I'd like to add this point to my assumption: people can only understand technology they understand and are not afraid of but like to use.
How do you think about this question? Do you probably see it in a different light than I do? Why do Japanese people seem to are more open to experience new technology than the rest of the world? I have thought about where the actual reason is but I don't really have a good answer.
Maybe you'll like to join the discussion and add some of your own thoughts, examples, experiences, sources :)

Help support your Meetup
We meet to Laugh! Our sessions are led by Certified Laughter Yoga Leaders. Laughter Yoga is fun and easy - everyone can do it. Sessions include simple stretching, breathing, easy and playful laughter exercises, and relaxation. Laughter is the best medicine - it will lower your stress and improve your physical, emotional, mental and spiritual health. It will leave you feeling GREAT. And it's FREE.
here are some news reports on laughter Yoga.
Laughter Yoga is a deceptively simple, yet very powerful and potentially life-changing, form of exercise that anybody can do — anytime, anywhere. Its core premise is that your body can and knows how to laugh, regardless of what your mind has to say; Laughter Yoga is a body-mind approach to laughter, as opposed to mind-body. The distinction is very important. Here you do not need to have a sense of humor, know jokes, or even be happy. Laughter Yoga invites you to laugh by choice, not by chance. You start with an intention to laugh as an exercise and quickly the "simulated" laughter becomes real laughter. You don't laugh because you feel happy, you feel happy because you laugh.

News 12 at 11 o'clock, July 18, 2010
AUGUSTA---The Augusta Southern Nationals is a thrilling event that left many people with chills Sunday.
The crowd screamed in horror.
"All you do is think," said competitor John Haas. "I hope the guy is alright. I know Kent pretty well."
Kansas drag boat racer Kent Price managed to eject moments before his boat split in half at speeds of more than 160 miles per hour.
"This is kind of a dangerous sport," said John. "That kinda goes along with it. I've been out there myself a couple of times."
Fellow racers say Kent took a similar spill back in September.
"And he was back by November or so," said John. "This ain't going to stop him...I don't believe."
Fast acting rescue crews were on the scene within minutes, but it's a standard safety tube that may have saved Kent's life.
"The sport has gotten a lot safer than it used to be," said race chairman Dayton Sherrouse who plans to review the video. "Look at everything that went right and wrong and try to make whatever improvements we can for next year's race."
It's that dedication to safety that keeps fans and racers coming back each year.
"They treat us like kings when we are here," said John. "You can't get a better place to race than Augusta."
John knows things can always take a drastic turn.
"It's kinda like falling over on a motorcylce," said John. "You just gotta get up, and go again."
Price was taken to MCG Hospital with a possible broken leg. News 12 thanks event organizers for sharing the accident video with us.

We're pleased to announce a new addition to our library of Bibles: the Lexham English Bible (LEB) New Testament!
Anytime a new English Bible translation is released, it's fair to ask what distinguishes it from the many other Bible translations already available. The introduction to the LEB describes two major elements that make it stand out:
- The LEB was specifically produced to be read alongside the original language text of the Bible. Most modern Bibles, aiming for accessibility and readability, necessarily depart from the exact wording and style of the original text. The LEB New Testament instead follows the Greek as closely as possible, making it ideal for comparison to the original text.
- The LEB is designed to make extensive use of the most up-to-date lexical reference works available, like Walter Bauer's A Greek-English Lexicon of the New Testament and Other Early Christian Literature.
The result is a comparatively literal translation that is especially useful for students, pastors, and anyone who wants to do regular comparisons between the English and original text. (If you haven't done so already, read how to view more than one Bible side-by-side on Bible Gateway.) You can get a feel for the LEB by reading its translation of John 3—and to see how easily it reads alongside the Greek text, read the LEB alongside the SBL Greek New Testament.
We hope you'll find the Lexham English Bible to be a useful resource in your own Bible reading and study. We're grateful to Logos Bible Software for making it available on Bible Gateway.

Post subject: OMG I JUST READ THIS!!!!!!
A couple who travelled to India for IVF treatment dumped their newborn twins at a British hospital when they found out they were girls.
Reports said the mother, 59, and father, 72, travelled to India for fertility treatment that would not have been allowed in Britain because of their age.
The parents, who were born in India but are British citizens living in Birmingham, reportedly told doctors they did not want the "wrong sex" babies immediately after the children were born by Caesarean section in Wolverhampton's New Cross hospital a fortnight ago.
The newspaper says the husband then asked medics how long it would be before his wife was fit enough to fly back to India for more IVF treatment in the hope of getting a boy to continue the family name.
It was reported the twins have now been transferred to a central Birmingham hospital, where they have not been visited a single time.
A spokeswoman for New Cross Hospital said she could not make any comment because of "data protection reasons".
Birmingham Council's social services department said it is investigating.
Countries such as India are known to display a cultural preference for sons

you think thats bad, In Sheffield when my mum was preganat with my little brother, so 89, they wouldn't tell you the sex of your baby at your 20 week scan, because some women from ethnic backgrounds were terminating their pregnancies themselves, by methods I don't want to tell you because they found out they were carrying girls.
I don't get it at all

That has made me feel physically sick. How disgusting. You hear those kind of stories from China where they drown their kids at birth if they're the "wrong" sex. People like that should be dumped on a cold outer hebridean island with no food, love and left to fend for themselves and see how they like it xxxx

A new record and a date with Andy
Roger moved another step towards defending his Australian Open title. He not only defeated Spain's Tommy Robredo 6-3, 7-6 (2), 7-5 to reach the semi-final, but also set up a new record. Roger is the first player of the Open era to have reached 11 consecutive Grand Slam semi-finals.
The conditions were not ideal tonight and forced both players to adapt a fair bit. The windy gusts on one side of the court were the reason for a whole series of breaks and re-breaks. Roger produced a total of 31 unforced errors during the match and dropped his serve twice in the opening set, but still managed to restrict Robredo to just three games.
It was Roger's seventh-straight triumph over Robredo, whose only victory over our champ came in their first meeting at the Hopman Cup in 2002.
The victory sets up a semi-final clash with Andy Roddick, an opponent our world number one has had the wood on since their first meeting in 2001. But it must be mentioned that Roger just lost the final to the American at the AAMI Classic in Kooyong, an exhibition tournament, just a few weeks ago.
I know that you can beat Roddick, just play your great game and concentrate.
; )
ora attenzione a Roddick!
u have to win this championship. SHOW MUST GO ON.
Wind was strong today. I like a slight action to show after you did a common mistake plenty. Will head cold be all right?
Next to Andy. I am a pleasure now what kind of fight two people develop following US open of last year. I s
Congratulations to you. You won well and you still seem to be bothered by your cold.Please take care of yourself and all the best for tomorrow. I know you wioll be the winner.
God be with you now and forever. The best to your Mon an
So far this year, you are not yet at your best (the level that you usually maintain).
So Boost it up....Roger. Not only for yourself, but for your fans too.
