AVON PARK - From south to north and areas in between, a general ambivalence to renaming an Avon Park street for Martin Luther King Jr. seems to be the prevalent sentiment, regardless of the neighborhood.
After being delayed a week due to a death in Avon Park Mayor Susan Schuler's family, a Special City Council Meeting on MLK street naming options will be held at 6 p.m. April 14 in City Council Chambers, 123 E. Pine St. The meeting will be an official workshop to review the four current street naming options for an MLK street and will include citizens' input.
A drive in various communities around Avon Park on Friday to speak with residents not generally associated with the effort - the proverbial "man on the street" - showed similar love or disdain for the idea, no matter what the neighborhood.
The current options for roads to rename on the table are the intersection of Cornell Street and U.S. 27 to South Lake Boulevard through Tulane Drive, through South Verona Avenue to Main Street; Memorial Boulevard from Main Street and Memorial Boulevard to Cornell Street; South Lake Boulevard and Hal McRae Boulevard through South Lake Boulevard, through Tulane Drive and East Hal McRae, ending at Memorial Avenue; and renaming Hal McRae Boulevard "Hal McRae/MLK Boulevard," including the segment of Tulane Drive.
Around 11:30 a.m., while two men played checkers under an oak tree in the parking lot of R&W Grocery, 918 Willie Hawk Ave. - between South Verona Avenue and the southeast shore of Lake Tulane - Chester Miller, 59, sat on a bench near the store's entrance. Miller, who has lived in Avon Park since he was 5, took his first close look at maps of the street options. He suggested the city take out Hal McRae east of U.S. 27 and a road east of Lake Tulane and rename them for King. He said other streets in the area named after people such as Ernest E. Sims or Alice Nelson streets should go.
"Change it from one part to the next part. His (Hal McRae) name been up there long enough. Let someone else now go up," he said.
? ? ?
At a Jan. 27 city council meeting, in front of an audience of about 115 people, the Avon Park City Council ruled out the options of renaming South Lake Avenue and Hal McCrae Boulevard or South Delaney Avenue and Main Street in honor of King.
That evening, a vote to rename the stretch of road from the intersection of South Lake Avenue and Hal McRae Boulevard to Tulane Drive, to South Verona Avenue, up to Main Street, onto Tulane and up to Lake Avenue was voted down 3-2. Council members Brenda Giles and Terry Heston voted in favor and Parke Sutherland, Garret Anderson and Schuler voted against, citing the desire to have more input from residents before making a final decision.
The April 14 meeting is another in the process of ultimately choosing a street to rename or letting the issue drop.
In 2008, during the 911 Duplicate Street Name Project, when nearby cities were asked to rename streets with the same name to avoid confusion in emergency situations, the idea to rename a street for King was dropped by the city council at that time.
The consensus among council members is that the change will take place - it's just a matter of when and where.
Avon Park City Manger Julian Deleon said the next meeting will help clarify and focus options while still considering citizens' suggestions.
"I am hopeful that the city council can identify a suitable and prospective road segment to rename after Martin Luther King," he said. "Depending on this preliminary approval, we would follow up and provide the affected property owners with notice for a public hearing where the council would make a final determination."
As he walked by the Zion Temple Holiness Church, 924 S. Woodrow Ave., Leroy Blake, 65, a lifelong Avon Park resident, said he didn't care if a street name was changed or not. He said there were more pressing issues to address regarding the city.
"It doesn't matter to me; there's no need to change anything. Just move on," he said, as he crossed the road.
Deleon said the April 14 meeting is considered a special forum to discuss the alternatives for renaming and provide a preliminary action plan. He said any vote taken will be used to confirm a direction that may be pursued.
While he raked leaves near his home at north Melrose and Manors drives in northeast Avon Park just before noon, about 4 miles north of Blake, Justin Moore, 26, also a lifelong Avon Park resident, said he liked the idea of changing the name of Memorial Boulevard. He said since the road passes the middle and high school, it would be a good way to bring up history.
"We have a street named for the Chicago Bears, so why not MLK? If you're going to change a name, change it to something that has some meaning and history to it," he said.
According to the New Georgia Encyclopedia website, about 70 percent of King streets are in Southern states: Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Louisiana, Mississippi, North Carolina and Texas. King's home state of Georgia had the most with 105 as of 2006. Nationally, over 700 streets are named for King.
There are those who think the status quo should be maintained and changing street names is a frivolous waste of taxpayer money. As they fished on Lake Adelaide in northwest Avon Park, about a quarter-mile west of U.S. 27, Elbert Walker, 76, and his daughter, Amy Walker, 35, were against the renaming. The father and daughter moved to Avon Park two years ago from Sebring.
"I don't think they should change to MLK. I have nothing against black people; I'm not racist, but I think they're giving him too much. There's one in every town; there's not a shortage of those streets," said Amy Walker, as she watched her fishing bobber.

Federal Cloud Technology Roadmap to be Introduced at Forum & Workshop, Nov. 2-4
From NIST Tech Beat: October 13, 2011
Evelyn Brown
(301) 975-5661
The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) will unveil the public draft of its U.S. Government Cloud Computing Technology Roadmap at the Cloud Computing Forum & Workshop IV that it will host Nov. 2-4, in Gaithersburg, Md.
The meeting also will feature an update on NIST's progress in helping to develop open standards to enable interoperability, portability and security in cloud computing.
Cloud computing is a model for enabling convenient, on-demand network access to a shared pool of configurable computing resources that can be rapidly provisioned and released with minimal management effort or service-provider interaction.
NIST's role in cloud computing is to help accelerate the secure and effective adoption of cloud computing. The agency leads efforts to develop standards and guidelines and advance cloud computing technology in collaboration with standards bodies, businesses and other private-sector organizations, government agencies and other stakeholders. Many of these stakeholders participate in NIST-led cloud-computing working groups that convene throughout the year.
The U.S. Chief Information Officer, Steve Van Roekel and Patrick Gallagher, NIST Director and Commerce Department Under Secretary for Standards and Technology, will deliver opening remarks. Melanne Verveer, Ambassador-at-Large for Global Women's Issues, will chair a panel discussion.
Panel sessions will explore a variety of topics and issues influencing the evolution of cloud computing, including infrastructure, security, standards, international perspectives, and opportunities for collaboration.
During the first two days of the meeting, which will be held at NIST, government, industrial, academic and standards organizations will showcase real-world cloud-computing collaborations.
The final day of the event, which will be held at the Crown Plaza Hotel, in Rockville, Md., will feature three tracks: U.S. Government Business Use Cases; Using the Reference Architecture and Taxonomy; and Reviewing the Roadmap Security Requirements List in the Context of the Security Working Group and U.S. Government Security Examples.
For more information on the Cloud Computing Forum and Workshop IV, including the agenda and registration, see http://www.nist.gov/itl/cloud/cloudworkshopiv.cfm.

Senator Carr's global view
On 16 August, former Labor Foreign Minister Senator Bob Carr discussed the government's foreign policy priorities and achievements so far, and set out his foreign policy vision for the government's next term, before an audience of scholars, students, members of the public and the media in MacLaurin Hall.
While a protest against the federal government's asylum seeker policy was staged outside the venue, Senator Carr spoke on a wide range of foreign policy issues, with asylum seekers front centre. He restated the importance of "busting the business model" of people trafficking that now sees 3000 people arriving by boat each month. That figure could double again, he warned. Once the model has been broken, he said the Rudd Government – if re-elected – would lift the humanitarian intake from 20,000 to 27,000 a year.
Senator Carr admitted to an error over Syria in relation to forging an agreement to ensure guaranteed medical aid, supplies and support for those injured in the fighting. "The mistake was in thinking a medical pact would be easy to arrange. A ceasefire is more important but in the meantime we would try for medical support.
"I could write a book about the frustrations of trying to get a UN agreement on this."
In other comments during a wide-ranging speech, Senator Carr expressed his reservations with Tony Abbott's idea of the Anglosphere, an alliance of English-speaking nations. "To have a conservative prime minister talk about the 'Anglosphere' would send the wrong message about what sort of nation we are," Senator Carr added.

Incredible table tricks the eyecomments (3) January 1st, 2013 in blogs
Great pieces don't just happen; they are the culmination of many years of experimentation and practice. Much of what Craig Thibodeau has learned over a decade-and-a-half of professional furnituremaking is in his latest tour-de-force. He calls it simply, Art Deco Table with Trompe L'oeil Interior, and I love the understatement.
Although he has been building veneered furniture from the beginning and practicing marquetry almost as long, he says this is his first exploration into trompe l'oeil marquetry imagery. I especially admire the custom hardware he created to make the mechanics as seamless as the exquisite veneer work.
For Thibodeau's engaging video tour of the piece, click here.
And here he is on how the piece came about: "The table commission began as a nice Deco style table without any of the extra details. To that base we added the two pop-out drink trays in maple and ebony with polished stainless steel inserts. We then began discussing what to do with the interior space of the central column. A variety of ideas were tossed about until the client settled on a trompe l'oeil (French for "fool the eye") image hidden behind a secret door with a couple more secret areas hidden in the image."
And check this out: "We worked out a system of embedded magnets that would hold pieces in place but also allow them to be opened with a special magnetic key. The door is held closed by four magnets and there are additional magnets buried inside the hidden drawer and the outside face of the secret door. We decided the special magnetic key should be hidden somewhere on the outside of the table so it could be accessed easily but not seen. The key itself has been veneered to match the surrounding wood and is spring loaded so a gentle push makes it pop out. It then can be used to open the main secret door and also to pull out the hidden drawer. The small door in the image leads to a small space with a polished floor and arched ceiling. The veneer for the walls and ceiling gradually change to darker colors as they go deeper into the cavity to increase the sense of depth."
This is clearly a piece done without compromise, which is always a precious thing, but even more so in today's corporate world. By the way, the table is 38″ wide by 19″ wide by 30″ high, and main wood species are pau ferro, quilted maple, Macassar ebony, and various marquetry woods.

AbstractChronic inflammatory diseases are associated with accelerated atherosclerosis and increased risk of cardiovascular diseases (CVD). As the pathogenesis of atherosclerosis is increasingly recognized as an inflammatory process, similarities between atherosclerosis and systemic inflammatory diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis, inflammatory bowel diseases, lupus, psoriasis, spondyloarthritis and others have become a topic of interest. Endothelial dysfunction represents a key step in the initiation and maintenance of atherosclerosis and may serve as a marker for future risk of cardiovascular events. Patients with chronic inflammatory diseases manifest endothelial dysfunction, often early in the course of the disease. Therefore, mechanisms linking systemic inflammatory diseases and atherosclerosis may be best understood at the level of the endothelium. Multiple factors, including circulating inflammatory cytokines, TNF-α (tumor necrosis factor-α), reactive oxygen species, oxidized LDL (low density lipoprotein), autoantibodies and traditional risk factors directly and indirectly activate endothelial cells, leading to impaired vascular relaxation, increased leukocyte adhesion, increased endothelial permeability and generation of a pro-thrombotic state. Pharmacologic agents directed against TNF-α-mediated inflammation may decrease the risk of endothelial dysfunction and cardiovascular disease in these patients. Understanding the precise mechanisms driving endothelial dysfunction in patients with systemic inflammatory diseases may help elucidate the pathogenesis of atherosclerosis in the general population.

Bishops' Advisory Commission on Doctrine
Parish Development Working Group
Added on 17/06/2013
On the eve of the G8 meeting at the Lough Erne Golf Resort today and tomorrow, St Macartin's Cathedral in Enniskillen hosted an ecumenical service organised by the 'Enough Food for Everyone IF' campaign at which the Archbishop of York was the guest speaker yesterday afternoon.
This Service of the Word brought together the people of St Macartin's Cathedral, St Michael's Roman Catholic church (to which the service was also relayed), the Enniskillen Methodist and Presbyterian churches and others, welcomed by the Dean, the Very Revd Kenneth Hall; the Very Revd Canon Peter O'Reilly, parish priest of St Michael's; the Revd David Cupples of Enniskillen Presbyterian church and the Reverend Kenneth Lindsay, Former President of the Methodist Church in Ireland.
In his sermon, The Most Reverend and Rt Hon. John Sentamu, Archbishop of York focused on the issue of the outrage of global hunger, saying that the needless deaths of 3 million children every year from malnutrition is 'a great scandal and scar on all our consciences'. (Archbishop Sentamu pictured preaching at the service above, photo: Harrisons)
'Enough Food for Everyone – IF' is a coalition of over 200 organisations across the UK and Ireland, including Christian Aid, Tearfund, Trócaire, the Irish Council of Churches and Fields of Life. It received both the strong endorsement of the Church of Ireland General Synod through its resolution to support the call to the G8 leaders to take urgent action in tackling the root causes of hunger in our world and in the pre–G8 Statement issued by the Archbishops and Bishops of the Church of Ireland: see http://ireland.anglican.org/news/4618
As part of the campaign letters signed by senior Irish church figures including the Archbishops of Armagh and Dublin and Bishop Trevor Williams (Chair of Christian Aid Ireland) have been sent to Prime Minister David Cameron and An Taoiseach Enda Kenny asking that the world's hungry were put at the top of the agenda at the G8 summit.
The service closed with a Blessing given by the Rt Revd John McDowell; the Most Revd Liam MacDaid; the Rt Revd Robert Craig, the Presbyterian Moderator and the Reverend Kenneth Lindsay.

Wave of Pranks Has Swedes Asking 'What is Rabbit Dope?'
A spate of prank e-mails have yielded a number of false stories in Swedish media, embarrassing editors and confusing readers who were left wondering about candy spiked with chili and a dangerous drug dubbed "rabbit dope," which turns out to not exist.
The wave appears to have started by a user on the discussion boards of the site Flashback, who started a thread saying he was sick in bed and bored, and wanted to play a prank on local newspapers.
The first prank was innocent enough. Using a Czech website, the user sent out a fake press release that appeared to be from a press officer at Swedish Radio, saying the city of Umeå would host its popular charity event next year.
To the delight of the pranksters and other commentators, local media bought the story, and the pranks soon became more elaborate. One story that made it into a national tabloid claimed that a food store withdrew a batch of candy bags after one of them had been spiked with dangerously hot chili. Local news sites then reprinted information about a new drug, AH-88, also known as "rabbit dope," from an e-mail which appeared to have come from local police.
The confusion reached new heights when a prankster sent an email to a journalist at a local TV station, posing as a local politician, using profane language and chastising the journalist for calling him on a holiday. When the TV station confronted the politician, he apparently believed that he had in fact sent the email, and said he was entitled to get angry.
The prankster got in touch with the journalist again to explain the situation, and the politician has now said that he will report the hoax to police authorities.
However, the pranksters may have ran out of luck as editors are wising up to the fact that there's no guarantee that an email comes from the person in the header.
Over the weekend, an attempt at delaying the school start was quickly revealed as a hoax. Someone sent e-mails to students at a school in Malmö saying that the start of the semester had been postponed by a week due to delays in construction work at the school. The mail appeared to be sent by a school principal.

You are defo in the right place hun, we're all here for each other. I had a missed miscarriage a few weeks ago which meant I had to have a d&c on the 13th Jan it still hurts. The baby was 7+4. We've lost 2 in 5 months at 7 weeks so if we do get another bfp it'll be scary. I'm under the care of a consultant now (due to 3 losses) so when we do get a bfp I'll be scanned every week from 6 wks-12 wks. Awaiting Blood tests results at the mo. Hugz Xxx

Hi Ladies,
Just noticed this part of the forum. Im too used to going str8 to the ttc section,never even knew this was here. First of all can i say i am very sorry for your losses. There really isnt nothing worse and words cannot express. I wish you all well & a very speedy recovery.
Im 26, OH is 28. Been ttc for just over a year. Had mc over the new year holidays and have not long finished my first af since our mc. I left ttc a full cycle as last month the physical pain was bad everyday. That seems to have subsided which im soo grateful. Although my first af after mc was really really painful & heavy. I had only just begun to feel more better emotionally when af hit with full force and that knocked me for 6 but this month i aint letting the witch beat me. Going all out for a bfp!
Good luck ladies & babydust all round

It's that time again!! I just have so much fun with Giveaway Day and even though it snuck up on me this year I managed to throw a little something or two together for you.
I'll get to the giveaway pretty quickly but here's a little bit about myself. I've been sewing forever but quilting and blogging for only 3 years.

I was thinking some Heath would be nice or I have some great pinks, oranges, sea colors, well just about anything. Also we're all different sizes so I'll make sure it fits.
All the charms from my Japanese fabric charm swap! 60, 2 of each, loverly 5" fabric squares. WHAT?! You know I just went a little charm swap crazy and I have too many projects planned to even know what to do with these. I hope the winner does something special and sends me a picture when they're done.

Ivanhoe Duty Quotes
How we cite our quotes: (Chapter.Paragraph)
Quote #4
"Good brother," replied the inhabitant of the hermitage [the Friar], "it has pleased Our Lady and St Dunstan to destine me for the object of those virtues, instead of the exercise thereof. I have no provisions here which even a dog would share with me, and a horse of any tenderness of nurture would despise my couch – pass therefore on thy way, and God speed thee."
"But how," replied the [Black Knight], "is it possible for me to find my way through such a wood as this, when darkness is coming on? I pray you, reverend father as you are a Christian, to undo your door, and at least point out to me my road."
"And I pray you, good Christian brother," replied the anchorite, "to disturb me no more. You have already interrupted one pater, two aves, and a credo, which I, miserable sinner that I am, should, according to my vow, have said before moonrise." (16.14-16)
When the Black Knight (also known as King Richard) stops by the Friar's broken-down chapel in the middle of the forest, the Friar is initially reluctant to talk to him or give him directions. The Friar claims this is because he is so caught up in his prayers that he can't spare the time to chat with a stranger. The real reason is because he wants to hide his stolen wine and poached deer meat. Characters like Friar Tuck don't seem too concerned with their religious duties. Do we have any counterexamples of true religious faith in the novel? Which characters appear to have real faith?
Quote #5
"What! is it Front-de-Boeuf," said the Black Knight, "who has stopt on the king's highway the king's liege subjects? – Is he turned thief and oppressor?"
"Oppressor he ever was," said Locksley.
"And for thief," said the priest, "I doubt if ever he were even half so honest a man as many a thief of my acquaintance." (20.67-69)
Traveling around his country in disguise gives King Richard information about the true behavior of his lords. Here, for example, he finds out that Reginald Front-de-Boeuf has been stealing from his subjects. This is news to Richard, even if everyone else seems well aware of Front-de-Boeuf's bad nature. And by the way, who is running the country while he's prancing around as the Black Knight? While Richard is clearly one of the heroes of Ivanhoe, it still seems irresponsible of him to spend so little of his time as king actually governing the country. No wonder Prince John was successful in his rebellion.
Quote #6
If, thought [De Bracy], I should be moved by the tears and sorrow of this disconsolate damsel, what should I reap but the loss of these fair hopes for which I have encountered so much risk, and the ridicule of Prince John and his jovial comrades? "And yet," he said to himself, "I feel myself ill framed for the part which I am playing. I cannot look on so fair a face while it is disturbed with agony, or on those eyes when they are drowned in tears. I would she had retained her original haughtiness of disposition, or that I had a larger share of Front-de-Boeuf's thrice-tempered hardness of heart!" (23.31)
As De Bracy watches Rowena cry at the idea of marrying him, he starts to feel guilty. It's difficult for him to turn back on his plan now that he's gotten all of Prince John's knights to help him kidnap her, Cedric, and Athelstane, but he doesn't actually want to harm Rowena or force her to marry him against her will. De Bracy reflects that he is "ill framed" for the part that he's playing; in other words, he's just not cut out to be the tough guy required to carry out this whole scenario.
What's interesting about this reflection is how complex De Bracy's feelings are. Yes, he's a shallow and greedy guy, but he's not a horrible person. He doesn't want to hurt Rowena. De Bracy's second thoughts about the whole kidnapping scheme demonstrate that he's a complex human being. He makes terrible mistakes (which have dire consequences) but he's not simply a villain. While at first the novel seems to set up this Saxon-good / Norman-bad split, it soon becomes clear that it's not as simple as that. There are plenty of vain, stupid Saxons (hi, Athelstane!), and the Normans have morals and regrets just like the rest of us. While Ivanhoe paints a really romanticized picture of medieval England, it's not as black-and-white in its depiction of heroes and villains as it could have been.

Power was knocked out in the Delaware Water Gap area Tuesday afternoon after downed lines along Green Briar Road in Smithfield Township sparked a small grass fire.
Met-Ed reported a total of about 505 customers without power. Most had their service restored as of 5 p.m.
According to Robert Mudrick, PennDOT maintenance supervisor, a crew was trimming trees in preparation for drainage work along Route 611 when one felled tree caught on a set of three phase power lines, pulling them away from the pole.
The lines landed on an unoccupied PennDOT truck and started a small fire in the grass when they arced.
No injuries were reported in the mishap. Firefighters from Shawnee Fire Co. were on scene to extinguish the fire once power was cut off by Met-Ed.

More than 2,800 Applicants Attend Airport Job Fair
Event draws record numbers
By DeAllous Smith
There were business suits and power ties. Resumes here. Cover letters there – and, of course, thousands of job-seekers hoping to, well, land that dream job at Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport.
That was much the scene on Oct. 31 as more than 2,800 people converged on the Georgia International Convention Center for the Airport's Fall 2007 Job Fair. Once doors opened at 11 a.m., interested candidates strolled through the ballroom and spoke directly with company representatives to learn about their recruiting process and discuss employment opportunities.
"I'm very excited to be a part of this job fair," said greeter Linda Ballard of Express Personnel. "This event allows individuals interested in working at the Airport a rare opportunity to meet with potential employers on-site, which is very encouraging to the candidates."
Attendees met with prospective employers who represented a wide range of
areas at the Airport, including airlines, car rental agencies, retail, food
and beverage outlets, and construction companies.
As the event began to end at 4 p.m., Ballard recalled her family's excitement while attending a previous fair. "My husband's first experience in Atlanta was with the Airport's job fair. The volunteers and employers were extremely knowledgeable and helpful in making his transition to a new city a seamless process," said the two-year volunteer. "Participating as a greeter in the job fair has provided an excellent opportunity for me to interact with and assist others, just as we were, which is very rewarding."
Hartsfield-Jackson's job fairs are currently scheduled in May and October. Aviation officials will publish additional information about the next job fair as the event approaches.

Maggie's Revenge
Music: Anastasio/Fishman/Gordon/McConnell

Albums: Undermind
Historian: Mockingbird Staff
Serving as a bridge between "Crowd Control" and "Nothing" on Undermind, "Maggie's Revenge" is a short instrumental track powered by a driving drumbeat and all manner of effects, feedback and general psychedelia from Trey. With the 2009 debuts of "Undermind," "The Connection" and "Tomorrow's Song," "Maggie" stands alone as the only track off Undermind not to be performed live. Phish had better watch out; I hear she's one vindictive bitch.

Editorial Overview
Four years after scoring a box-office touchdown with Blade (1998), actor Wesley Snipes returns to portray the Marvel Comics character again in this sequel that teams him with Mexican horror director Guillermo del Toro. A half-vampire, half-human hybrid, Blade (Snipes) is a merciless vampire hunter bent on destroying the bloodsuckers that feed on humanity. The keys to Blade's success are a serum that allows him to resist the urge for blood and an array of inventive, deadly weapons, both of which were once supplied by his mentor, Whistler (Kris Kristofferson). Since Whistler's death, Blade has relocated to Prague and recruited the pot-smoking slacker Scud (Norman Reedus) to take the place of his father figure, but then he discovers that Whistler's not dead after all: He's been infected with the vampire virus. Reunited with Whistler, Blade is dealt an even bigger surprise: His greatest enemy, vampire leader Damaskinos (Thomas Kretschmann), wants to make peace with him. It seems that the vampires are facing a greater threat than Blade and hope to persuade him to fight the Reapers, a mutated super-race of vampires on a rampage of murder, indiscriminately killing both humans and their fellow bloodsuckers while sucking their victims dry. Blade agrees to a truce and joins the Bloodpack, an elite squad of commandos originally formed to fight Blade himself. Soon, the vampire soldiers discover that the virus responsible for creating their enemies is spreading rapidly and can be traced back to a mysterious "Patient Zero." Blade 2 (2002) co-stars Ron Perlman, Leonor Varela, Donnie Yen, and Matt Schulze. ~ Karl Williams, All Movie Guide

Dypsnea: Alternative Treatments
Jun 18, 2014
Few issues are as concerning as breathing problems or shortness of breath; however, such issues are quite common. While different individuals experience shortness of breath, medically termed dyspnea, the condition is typically described as a feeling of intense tightness in the chest. Likewise, the issue may be similar to that of suffocation. The severity and frequency of dyspnea is typically dependent upon the cause of the disorder. Many healthy individuals experience shortness of breath due to common factors such as vigorous exercise, extreme temperatures, excessive body weight, and high altitude. If an individual experiences shortness of breath outside of these factors, the cause is likely a medical concern.
Typical causes of dyspnea can be linked to heart and lung conditions, as the heart and lungs are responsible for the transport of oxygen to the tissues as well as the removal of carbon dioxide from the body. Common problems with these systems include asthma, carbon monoxide poisoning, cardiac tamponade, heart attack, low blood pressure, pulmonary embolism, pneumonia, pneumothorax, and upper airway obstruction. Some instances of shortness of breath are chronic. Typical causes of this type of dyspnea include asthma, COPD, heart dysfunction, interstitial lung disease, and obesity.
Natural Asthma Remedies and Treatment for Dyspnea
Typical asthma remedies and treatment for dyspnea are determined based on the cause. Natural treatment methods are generally considered effective for treating a wide range of breathing issues. A daily dose of ? a teaspoon sea salt and ? teaspoon baking soda dissolved in water can drastically reduce if not cure episodes of breathlessness. Additionally, a mixture of apple cider vinegar and baking soda or lime and baking soda balances the body's sodium levels and also helps treat breathing issues.

Remedies for Dypsnea
Baking Soda, Sea Salt
Hi, I've had breathlessness (dyspnea) for well over 4 years now. My doctor and my pulmonologist have been unable to discover the cause. I've had x-rays, cat scans, a variety of asthma medications, and even xanax when they thought it stress related. Nothing has helped. No heart related issues were discovered either (pulmonary hypertension, etc). It's been a real puzzler. I read somewhere (not this site) that 1/4" a teaspoon of sea salt and a 1/4" teaspoon of baking soda dissolved in a glass of water would help people with asthma-related breathlessness episodes. I tried it, and it reduced my symptoms almost immediately. It hasn't made it go away, but it helps me sleep at night. I take the mixture when the dypsnea becomes more than just annoying. I haven't tried a daily regiment though. (Incidentally, I also have GERD and seemingly no longer need to take Aciphex to control it. The baking soda apparently is all I needed to cure that) My question is: Is the sodium bicarbonate in the baking soda count against total RDA of regular sodium intake? if so, this would compound the total amount of sodium I am taking with the sea salt. I'm nervous about doing a daily regiment of the high sodium mixture as I am borderline pre-hypertension and don't want to stress my heart unduly. What do you suggest? (Incidentally, I will try out the ACV cure you have promoted recently. I will post how it works for me) Thanks...

386 PostsDear Mike: I will not go to the details of the cause of blood pressure, but most of the increase in blood pressure is usually two things, too much fried foods and excessive acidity of the body.
The body attempts to reduce the acidity by retaining more sodium to stabilize the alkalinity. To prevent excess sodium retention is simple, add 10% potassium bicarbonate to 90% percent sodium bicarbonate. This won't cause the body to increase the blood pressure.
Basically the sodium bicarbonate will cause the body to stabilize its blood pressure while the potassium bicarbonate will cause a decrease in blood pressure as potassium displaces sodium. The reason why you can't take too much potassium is the body extracellular fluids consists of 90% sodium and 10% potassium, approximately. So by taking a similar ratios similar to extracellular body fluids won't cause an unnecessary change.
To take sea salt is simple, just add 10% potassium citrate or potassium bicarbonate to the mix. This will at least be similar to your bodily fluids anyway. To change that is not the optimum in which it exists and it is best to keep it in that ratio.
The reason why apple cider vinegar and baking soda can be use safely is the potassium content in the vinegar allowing at least be roughly close to your bodily fluids. It is the same if you use lime and about 1/2 teaspoon of baking soda. Apple cider vinegar has some potassium content and when added with sodium bicarbonate, allows the best of two worlds, sodium and potassium. Most of the body's extracellular fluids is made of sodium about 90% and about 10% of that is potassium. If you want to be precise about such measurement you need to buy potassium bicarbonate. However, in practice this ACV and baking soda is a home remedy and works fairly well in general for most people.
Most of the problems of high sodium retention that I found out is that the body's ability to produce nitric oxide is suppressed due to certain deficiencies or the impaired mechanism of biochemical processes. To help the body return such nitric oxide to normal will always cause the blood pressure to normalize. To increase nitric oxide you can supplement them with various supplements that promote them, including sodium ascorbate, magnesium ascorbate, L-arginine (2000 mg), L-citrulline (2000) mg. usually taken in the morning hours. Obviously you need to avoid heavy foods and instead take more onions and garlic during the supper or evening hours.
Quite often one of the cause of asthma is the capillary constriction, by alkalization, capillary expands allowing improved breathing.

You can be cured by a single touch

By Joe Huang-Oracle on Oct 29, 2012
I would like to announce that there is now an iPhone App in the Apple AppStore that's built using Oracle ADF Mobile. This app is the Hudson Mobile Monitor application for the iPhone, which allows you to monitor build status for the Hudson Continuous Integration server. By default it points to the production instance of the Hudson CI server hosted at Oracle. One of the key goals for ADF Mobile in general is to ensure an application built using ADF Mobile is compliant with Apple iOS SDK terms. We designed the framework to ensure applications can go through the approval process - of course there are still things that can be done which would cause issues during the approval process, and we will be publishing more best practices in the coming articles.

"I got these cards for my 2-year old son to pass out to his pre-school class and teachers and family members. They are beautifully printed on soft thick paper. I love the size, they are pretty small, but come with their own tiny envelopes! Very happy with my purchase."
"This is an adorable and different valentine card for little girls..not your run-of-the-mill card..My daughter Loves it!!"
"We ordered for my daughter's 1st grade classroom valentine exchange. These were cute and fun and the kids loved them. They are smaller than I expected, but a great size. I will have 2 in school next year and plan to order these again."
"Perfect for all those preschool exchanges as well as the grandparents, aunts & Uncles, etc. They are soooo cute! So much better than the tacky ones at the big box stores."
"My daughter loved that she was a "kitty kat". She really enjoyed giving cards that had her face on them. The quality was much more than I expected and the picture quality was great! I was very impressed. I would highly recommend this valentine."

Ghana's NCA set to offer voice and data WiMAX licences but with conditions
Ghana's regulator NCA is consulting on offering spectrum and a licence that will allow those who win them to offer both voice and data. But as you might imagine there's a number of catches contained in the package. Russell Southwood looks at what's on offer.
NCA says that it wants to award a total of five spectrum licences for BWA services in the 2,500 MHz-2,690 MHz band. There will be three slots of 30 MHz blocks nationwide for operators using unpaired spectrum and two slots of 2 x 15 MHz blocks for operators using paired spectrum.
Both licences will run for ten years. In addition, there will be an extra paired 2 x 5 MHz and an extra unpaired 15 MHz available to the winners of the five licences. Obviously the spectrum could suit a number of technologies but the most likely is WiMAX.
What is ground-breaking about the licence is that "end users shall be allowed to use their equipment in fixed locations, in a nomadic manner or with a full mobile capability, at their choice." Furthermore, these licensees do not require to have a separate Internet user licence. The licence also covers the whole of the country.
There's a non-refundable application fee of US$100,000 with the winning of the five licences being determined through an auction. The minimum reserve price for the auction is US$5 million.
However, the licences is hedged about with conditions. The successful operators have to achieve 60% penetration of each of a set of zones and 100% penetration of district capitals. The zones are groupings of district areas from the highly attractive (Accra Metropolitan) to the much less attractive (Bole in the Northern region). In addition, the operator has to satisfy a set of quality of service metrics that will be outlined in the licence.
So five years later, half way into their licence period, if they have satisfied all these conditions, luck operators will then be able to pay a one-time fee of US$1 million and be able to offer voice services. However, the licence does not entitle the operator to an international gateway licence and that will have to be purchased separately.
So the licence structure is an attempt to get the maximum investment whilst offering a carrot that would be a bargain at US$1 million if you can reach the finish line in five years. The only realistic bidders will either be existing mobile operators wanting to put data traffic on to WiMAX or an insurgent wireless challenger with deep pockets.
A recent case in Ghana shows why there needs to be an alternative network to Vodafone Ghana's wholesale operation, the National Communications Backbone Company NCBC). The Ministry of Communications issued a tender for the eGhana project which required 10 mbps to be delivered to various parts of the country. One of the country's ISPs Internet Ghana, on the basis of the prices it was charged by NCBC made a bid of US$8,000 per E1, on the basis of being charged US$4,500 per E1 by NCBC.
It emerged that NCBC had quoted a price that equated to US$1,083.33, clearly well below the sum it charged for wholesale bandwidth to other companies. After a number of unconvincing explanations, it said had made a mistake and would still offer the bandwidth in order to keep its commitment. The case is currently with NCA and in the courts.
Interestingly, the incumbent's new owners Vodafone have put in place a capacity-related charging structure for wholesale bandwidth so that you get the same price anywhere in the country. Unless you happen to be the company broadband subsidiary and then it looks very like you get a much better deal. Mistakes do happen but a mistake of this magnitude needs a different explanation.

Spotlight on: TROVA
Past Honors:
He is the Award.
In the world of awards statues, the Trova stands alone. While Oscar is sleek, Tony is two-faced, Grammy is old fashioned, Emmy is reaching and the Golden Globe is, well, round. Trova, with its flip-top head, convertible back and open heart, is not conventionally beautiful, but more a jolie-laide – what the French call a not traditionally beautiful person that is nevertheless striking. The statue "is very enduring," said Stan Herman, who was CFDA president from 1991-2006, and involved in the selection of the Trova from the start in the early 1980s. "Trova just kind of snuck into our lives and when it was done, it was a little controversial, but it was done with good intent." One of the most controversial bits about this silver wonder is its gender, which is not discernable in either direction. "It was meant to be neither male or female, but it's representative of both," Herman explained. For a statue that's so rife with controversy, it certainly gets around, and is building legions of fans through social media outlets. Last year, Trova made its way all around town, as chronicled by Hanuk's photos on the CFDA's Facebook page. This year, Trova is sharing its exploits on twitter @CFDATrova. And, Herman adds, "like good fashion, it has stood the test of time."
Six Questions for Trova
What career did you want when you were 16? If you weren't an icon, what would you be?
"I started studying dance at a very young age, I have a way with movement that nobody else has I think. My childhood dream was to be a music box dancer but, you know, things change and everything … I'm happy to be a fashion icon though."
Who is your fashion idol? Whose work do you admire?
"I really love the work of the great American designers, I have love for the new kids on the block but there's a certain swagger that Mr. de la Renta, Ms. Herrera, Ms. Karan and Mr. Lauren bring to the table that only comes with time and age."
Who is your biggest fan?
"Oh, it's probably Prabal Gurung, he tweets me all the time and told me I was his favorite."
Who are you taking as your date to the Awards?
"Holding out for the Stanley Cup…but if he says no, I'll just go stag."
When you get dressed, do you choose clothes to match your accessories or accessories to match your clothes?
"It's always about the clothes for me, the accessories play second string to the clothes. I can't have a pair of shoes upstaging everything else."
If you were getting the CFDA Lifetime Achievement Award, whom would you choose as your presenter?
"I'd like to have Diane Von Furstenberg – she seems like a woman with her wits about her and I admire her work so much."

COIMBATORE: Is corporate India headed for a period of good growth as well as decent cash flows? While the free cash flow (FCF) yield of Indian companies is estimated at only 0.7% for fiscal 2010, with nearly 45% of the largest companies and four out of 10 sectors generating negative FCF, a study of 118 companies (ex-financial) shows that fiscal 2010 would be the first FCF positive year since 2007-08. ( Watch )
"India is turning FCF positive after a significantly negative year and is going to accelerate its cash flow generation over the next couple of years," an analysis by Citigroup, which studied stocks of 118 companies, said. FCF is the cash that a company is able to generate after allocating the money required to expand asset base or simply put capital expenditure (capex).

SANTA CRUZ — If information is power, a new iPhone application that tracks white sharks could deliver a lot more fear or a lot more relief to surfers and other ocean users in Santa Cruz and along the coast in the coming months.
In January, the San Diego County-based Marine Conservation Science Institute released its Expedition White Shark app, which tracks 12 tagged white sharks in their migration from places like Año Nuevo Point and the Farallon Islands to feeding areas hundreds of miles offshore.
Two of the white sharks were tagged in Northern California and the rest were tagged off Baja California, said marine biologist Michael Domeier, president of the institute. The app coincides with a National Geographic Channel documentary "Expedition Great White", which aired last year.
Despite the small sample size, Domeier said Santa Cruz ocean users might find the app useful in late summer to get an idea when the bulk of adult white sharks return.
"You should not use the app to know where and when to go surfing," said Domeier. "But you can use it to know when they're in coastal waters and when they're not."
Shark experts have long said that white sharks mistake surfers and other ocean users for prey such as seals and take investigatory bites. There have been about six attacks in the county since 1990 and they have generally been from October to January, according to California Department of Fish and Game data used in the app.
Domeier also cautioned that the tags only transmit when the shark is "finning" or swimming with its dorsal fin above water for several minutes. The satellite also has to be above the shark to record data.
"Because of that, there's no pattern to the regularity of our signals. During migrations, they spend a lot more time at the surface and they tend to go in quite straight lines," said Domeier.
Since the sharks were tagged in 2007 and 2009, the most data has been collected during migratory periods. The app uses Smart Position and Temperature — or SPOT tags, which some researchers have criticized because they are more permanent and more difficult to attach to the sharks than traditional temporary tags.
Domeier said the tags have allowed more data to be collected for longer periods.
The $3.99 app has been downloaded more than 10,000 times, not including an expanded version of the app for the iPad. Proceeds go to the nonprofit Marine Conservation Science Institute.
The app also includes the date and location of recent shark attacks in Santa Cruz County and the rest of the state. The app has photos and more information on each shark in the project.
Domeier said, "We thought it was a great means of outreach to help educate the public about Great White sharks." He added that other researchers have expressed interest in adding information to the app in the coming months.
"This is just the beginning," he said.

Cunningham, Vaus take their Poway council seats
POWAY The latest version of the Poway City Council was seated Tuesday night with recording artist and local businessman Steve Vaus being sworn in for the first time and Councilman Jim Cunningham for a second term.
The Nov. 6 election pitted four candidates for two open seats. Vaus fills the seat vacated by Merrilee Boyack who decided not to run for a third term and endorsed Vaus' candidacy early on.
To the surprise of many, Vaus received more votes than Cunningham in the election garnering 11,707 votes to Cunningham's 11,571. Candidates Jeff Mangum and Gary Vineyard were far behind. Mangum received 7,705 votes, Vineyard 4,188.
Vaus, wearing his trademark black cowboy hat, a black leather jacket, black shirt and jeans, thanked Boyak for her service.
"I know her to be someone who loves God, country, family and Poway. And we are all better for that," he said.
"There's been a lot of talk since the election about the seismic shift of power that's the result of the election on the city council," he said. "For the first time ever, facial hair will have the majority."
Vaus wears a goatee while Cunningham and Councilman Dave Grosch have mustaches.
This is also the first council in the city's history to be composed completely of men.
Cunningham thanked all the candidates who ran. "It's an awful lot of hard work. I know it was a tough campaign…but people fight real hard for things they really want," he said.
Boyack teared up while saying goodbye.
"My heart is with this community," she said. "That will not change… I love living here, I love serving here, and will continue to work hard to make this a great place to live….We are so extraordinarily privileged to live here and I feel that every single day."
Both Vaus and Cunningham spent months before the election walking the streets of Poway knocking on doors and talking to people.
Vaus was a relative unknown in Poway politics until just a few years ago when he organized the recall election of former Councilwoman Betty Rexford. Rexford was recalled and Vaus ran for her seat in the June 2010 special election but lost by 103 votes to John Mullin.
That same year Vaus won a Grammy award for Best Spoken Word Album for Children under his stage name Buck Howdy.

Izzo's Illegal Burrito opens in Flowood
Burrito fans sleep outside to be first in line
UPDATED 10:01 AM CDT Oct 15, 2012
Burrito fans slept outside so they could be the first in line to taste the food from a new Flowood restaurant.
Izzo's Illegal Burrito opened Saturday morning. The first five customers got free burritos for one year.
The Flowood location is the first Izzo's to open in Mississippi.
"We just take a lot of love and pride in what we do," said co-founder Ozzie Fernandez. "We want you to come out and experience the difference."
Restaurant owners said they have plans for a second location in the metro area.

Truth time: Soccer dudes are the hottest guys in sports. It all goes back to high school—the football players may have been the popular jocks, but you just know the soccer studs were the real bad boys. There's something about those lanky bodies and long hair that just feels...exotic, right? And while America may still be just trying to make the sport happen, here at SELF we're all over 2014 FiFA World Cup, thanks to the soccer studs across the world. We can't really vouch for their performance or their teams, but out of the hundred of footballers headed to Brazil, these are the ten we'll be making eyes at.
1. Panagiotis Kone, Greece
What's not to love about a guy who can rock a 'stache while looking supremely sexy? The Albanian-born Greek midfielder has some serious panache— on and off the field. Calling him a Greek God might be a bit much, but we're not above it.
2. Graham Zusi, USA
A University of Maryland grad, Zusi was drafted to the Kansas City Wizards in 2009 and played his first international game in 2012. We love an American dude who's confident enough in his masculinity to rock a headband. Dude has his priorities straight.
3. Neymar, Brazil
Like Madonna, Rihanna and Cher, Brazil's own Neymar needs only one name. Yeah, he's that good. The 22-year-old forward already helped his team to a whopping four titles in the last four years; now, he's looking to take home the World Cup trophy on his home turf. If his playing is as exciting as his badass faux-hawk, it's a done deal.
4. James Troisi, Australia
What is it about Australian men? There's something just so much more, manly about them. (Yeah, maybe it's the accent, too.) No exceptions for this midfielder/forward—he's got a chiseled jawline Superman would be jealous of. Oh, we hear he's pretty good on the field, too—but we're only paying attention if he plays shirtless.
5. Glen Johnson, England
It wouldn't be a soccer round-up without a Brit—easily the most passionate ballers out there. This defender/right back plays for Liverpool, one of the premiere English clubs—as well as the national team. But who cares? All we need is to catch this guy's sweet smile on the field and we forget there's even a game going on.
6. Claudio Marchisio, Italy
Heey there, blue eyes. If Marchisio's midfielder career doesn't work out—it probably will, considering his stellar reputation on the field—he can always fall back on modeling gigs. Those eyes! Those cheekbones! It's too bad he's married, don't you think?
7. Olivier Giroud, France
Oui, oui, Olivier! This sexy Frenchman's smoldering stare is almost too much, and we're dying over his near-perfect bone structure. When he's not playing for his national team, he's killing it as a striker for the English Arsenal Football club, another highly ranked British… Sorry, that stare. Can't. Finish. Sentence.
8. Aleksandr Kerzhakov, Russia
Besides the clear blue eyes, the muscly arms and powerful-looking thighs, Kerzhakov has a more legit claim to fame—this striker has scored more goals than anyone else in the history of Russion football, with a total of at least 209. We're still more interested in his thighs. #sorrynotsorry
9. Karim Ansarifard, Iran
You maybe wouldn't guess it, but Iranians are super passionate about soccer—and we bet Ansarifard is at least one of the reasons why. It's probably because he's often compare to Ali Daei, the country's best former player, but we like to think it's because of that 5 o'clock scruff, and hair you just want to run your hands through.
10. Miiko Albornoz, Chile
This Swedish-born full-back/winger doesn't have a very patriotic spirit—he chose to play for Chile over his home country for this year's World Cup. But with that tall, dark, and handsome thing he's got going on, does it really matter what country's name is on his jersey? Not in our book.

The new Oris Big Crown ProPilot Altimeter
More than 75 years after Oris made its first pilot's watch, the company is proud to announce the launch of the most innovative pilot's watch in its history – the Oris Big Crown ProPilot Altimeter, the world's first automatic mechanical watch with a mechanical altimeter.
Aviation continues to play a significant role in the Oris line-up. In 2014, Oris introduced the Big Crown ProPilot collection, a series of mechanical watches designed to cope with life in the cockpit. Initially, there were three models – a date, a day/date, both with an enlarged font size, and a chronograph. Now, the Swiss watch company is unveiling the most complicated pilot's watch it has ever made – the Oris Big Crown ProPilot Altimeter. The new watch is an innovation pioneered by Oris in its Hölstein factory, and the world's first and patented automatic mechanical watch with a mechanical altimeter.
It demonstrates Oris's exceptional watchmaking know-how and horological ambition, both of which have been built up over 110 years of watchmaking history.
The Oris Big Crown ProPilot Altimeter has been developed entirely by Oris to serve as a high-performance instrument for pilots, mountaineers, explorers and research scientists, who work at altitude. Its sturdy 47mm multi-piece stainless steel case houses an Oris automatic movement, and a Swiss mechanical barometric altimeter and barometer movement.
The Oris Big Crown ProPilot Altimeter, the world's first automatic mechanical altimeter watch developed for ambitious explorers.

A Perfect Day for Bananafish
by J.D. Salinger
Analysis: Writing Style
Salinger is so famous for his tell-tale writing style, we figured we would just call it what it is. Observe all of these typical Salinger trademarks:
- Italicized words for emphasis give the dialogue a natural phonetic feel.
- Incomplete sentences reflect the way people really talk.
- Physical movements are described in poignant, conscientious detail.
- The narrator is removed from the action but intimately aware of what's important.

THE Queen's composer has blasted councils which charge children to learn to play musical instruments as "shameless".
Sir Peter Maxwell Davies – hailed as the world's greatest living classical composer – is so outraged over the fees imposed by some local authorities that he broke off from the final stages of his cancer treatment to appeal for the scrapping of all such charges.
Local authorities in Scotland have been urged to review charging policies for instrumental music tuition to ensure children who want to learn an instrument do not miss out.
The move is part of a wide-ranging report on instrumental music produced last month by a Scottish Government group in response to Scotland on Sunday's Let The Children Play campaign, which has been pressing for tuition fees for instrumental music tuition in schools to be scrapped.
Children across Scotland are charged between £95 and £340 to learn a musical instrument in school, which campaigners claim is preventing some from exploring their musical talents.
Maxwell Davies, the Master of the Queen's Music who lives on the Orcadian island of Sanday and is currently undergoing treatment for leukaemia, said: "If there is one thing I believe passionately about it is that children should have free access to learning an instrument. I am furious that some councils think it is perfectly acceptable to charge for instrument tuition. It is not. They are shameless and are unnecessarily limiting the life chances of those who can least afford it.
"It goes against the very ethos of widening music across all social classes. The danger is that music becomes the preserve of the better off – the parents who can afford to pay – while talented children from poorer families miss out. When it is a choice for some people between food and other necessities and music fees you can understand their decision.
"But this is not even about meeting the needs of just the musically gifted. Instrument tuition should be made available freely to all. Music helps children express themselves and communicate."
Maxwell Davies added: "Some councils should hang their heads in shame over charging for instruments.
"It is always the arts that are the easy target in any budget cutback.
"But many councillors simply do not have a full grasp and understanding of how the arts enrich the lives of people.
"I want to applaud and congratulate Scotland on Sunday for mounting this campaign. It should be supported widely – and I hope that it forces more local authorities and their parliamentary funders to think again over the damage they are causing and the lives they are frustrating and limiting in the process."
The government report, which calls for a "national vision statement" for instrumental music tuition, recommends that councils "review their charging policies and concessionary schemes to ensure that pupils in their area are not prevented from learning a musical instrument".
It states that there "should be a general principle that pupils' individual circumstances should not be a barrier to their ability to access and benefit from instrumental music tuition".
It could mean that some councils will come under pressure to scrap fees altogether.
The Scotland on Sunday campaign played a part in bringing an end to tuition fees for children sitting Scottish Qualifications Authority (SQA)music exams, which five local authorities had also been implementing.
A national conference on music education, which will be held in September, and an instrumental music implementation group is planned by the Scottish Government to oversee the recommendations.
The group will report back to learning minister Alasdair Allan by the end of next year.
The group was set up last December in response to Scotland on Sunday's campaign and charged with "getting a grip" on instrumental music tuition by education minister Mike Russell.
The government also announced the creation of a £1 million instrument fund for schools. Last year, 24 councils out of 32 across Scotland charged between £95 and £340 for tuition, while five charged children sitting SQA exams.
Following the launch of the Scotland on Sunday campaign, two councils – Dumfries and Galloway and Dundee City – have scrapped all charges, while Midlothian and Dumfries and Galloway got rid of SQA music fees.
