4 Reasons to Not Take Embarrassing Pictures of Your Friends
#2. Unless It's Not Worth Remembering at All
I am not a big fan of this new modern tendency to document every damned thing we do in our lives. Yes, I am on Twitter now, but that's mainly just so I can keep up with when a fresh batch of popcorn chicken hits at my local KFC.
But I don't see the need to share every photo taken by or of me. Most of them, frankly, aren't that interesting, just a basically handsome dude doing basically normal things handsomely. I will admit there's a chance I'm just being old and weird, and maybe if I grew up on the Facebook, I'd feel differently. But one of the things about being old and weird is that you get pretty insistent that everyone else should become the same kind of weird as you, so I'm doing that. Strap in.
Because frankly, the majority of pictures we're Facebooking and Flikring and Instagramming are bullshit. Even if you are interested in the people being photographed, is this picture of them drinking at a party really any different from the 80 other pictures you have of them drinking at a party? We take the picture so we don't forget, but if we were going to forget, was it worth remembering in the first place?
Let's consider those pictures of Phelps blowing Puff's glass dick again. Even if this was some asshole who was deliberately going to sell this picture, I've seen the exact same thing happen in less-blackmaily circumstances, and every time I do, I have to ask, "What exactly was this supposed to memorialize?" The funny part of marijuana isn't even the inhaling! Get me a picture of a glassy-eyed Phelps watching his friends play Mario Kart for three hours. That'd be pretty funny. Hell, at least get a picture of a caned Phelps thinking about addition.
"But where does the equal sign come from?"
#1. They Will Revenge You
So let's say you've screwed your friend out of a job, his girlfriend broke up with him and he's been bumped back a few spots in line for the throne of England. Whoops. Now imagine it's a few days or weeks later and you're having a fun night out with him. Gonna be tense, isn't it?
We hang around people who are more like us than not, which means that if you're the kind of asshole who would semi-accidentally screw over one of your friends, you can bet they're the kind of asshole who would semi-deliberately do the same. Which means you can look forward to nights sitting like a coiled spring, waiting for him to spike your drink, or set you on fire, or install a suspicious new mirror in your bedroom.
"Just relax and finish your drink. What's that? Yes, this will make it look bigger. What? 'Just thinking about it is working?' Oh come on, man."
Bucholz has gotten less terrified of human contact! Make him reconsider that by liking his Facebook page or following him on Twitter!

Joba Chamberlain was once for the New York Yankees what Bruce Rondon now is for the Detroit Tigers: the young hard-throwing right-hander who is seemingly capable of long-term dominance out of the bullpen
TRADE: Cubs, Marlins swap players
As in his first full season in 2008, Chamberlain struck out 118 hitters in 100 1/3 innings.
Now, for 2014, the Tigers hope Rondon can be an eighth-inning fireballer like that to set up closer Joe Nathan.
But Rondon must prove he has the health, ability and savvy to do so over a full season. The Tigers wanted to find a veteran reliever to step into Rondon's role if he couldn't do it.
They evidently have selected Chamberlain for that assignment. On Thursday, according to reports from reliable media outlets, the Tigers signed Chamberlain to a one-year contract. As reported by ESPN's Buster Olney, the contract is for $2.5 million, plus performance bonuses.
On Wednesday, after the signing of outfielder Rajai Davis, general manager Dave Dombrowski said the Tigers' roster was set for spring training with the exception perhaps of another reliever.
"A bullpen arm — not big-time — but somebody that might give us a little depth out there," Dombrowski said.
Dombrowski repeated that preference on Thursday morning as the meetings were ending. By later Thursday, the Tigers apparently had filled that desire for bullpen depth by signing Chamberlain.
As usual with free agents, the Tigers didn't make an immediate announcement of the signing, perhaps because Chamberlain hasn't yet passed the requisite physical.
Chamberlain, 28, has spent his entire careerwith the Yankees. He broke in with them toward the end of the 2007 season, and by that fall had a major role in their playoff bullpen.
After he had all those strikeouts in 2008, his first full season, the Yankees turned him into a full-time starter in 2009. He went 9-6 with a 4.75 ERA. He pitched in relief in the post-season as the Yankees won the World Series.
Chamberlain went back to the bullpen in 2010 and has been there since. He appeared in a career-high 73 games in '10. But over the next two seasons, he was limited to a combined 49 games by two injuries, one typical for pitchers and the other unusual.
He missed much of 2011 because of ligament replacement surgery in his elbow — the Tommy John operation.
In March of 2012, he injured his ankle while jumping on a trampoline and was out until August.
This past season, Chamberlain appeared in 45 games. As throughout recent years, he's managed to average approximately a strikeout per inning.
If there was a troubling stat in his work this year, it's that he allowed eight homers while pitching 42 innings. He yielded five of those homers at Yankee Stadium, where the home-run distances to right are ridiculously short. He'll work now in a big park, Comerica Park. In 151/3 career innings there, he hasn't yielded a homer.
Chamberlain is 4-0 lifetime against Tigers. Not exactly Nathan's 36-for-36 in saves, but once again, if you can' beat 'em, sign 'em.

The 5 Reasons Marriage Scares Men (Aren't What You Think)
After a couple years of sending my girlfriend a clear message of, "We're never getting married," I proposed. There are reasons it took me so long to come around, but none of them fell into those magazine/sitcom stereotypes (which can be summed up as, "He's having too much fun screwing around and doesn't want to commit").
In fact, I'm pretty sure that the people who write sitcoms and jewelry commercials and movies about bachelor parties don't have any goddamned idea how actual human relationships work. So for the women who have been conditioned to believe that we men are afraid of commitment because we don't want to give up our seat on the Saturday Night Fuck Train, allow me to give you the real reasons marriage scares guys.
#5. We're Flooded with Anti-Marriage Messages
I can't name many comedians who haven't made fun of marriage in a negative way. I think the most famous was Sam Kinison, who was in so many fucked up relationships, he made it his goal to "save" other men from it.
Now, given, Sam made the whole topic pretty goddamn funny, but then every comedian who has ever taken a stage decided to give their version, and before you knew it, the entire industry is saturated with, "You know what sucks about marriage?" No, what sucks about it, angry guy on a stage? Does the sex stop? I bet he's going to tell us that the sex stops. While you're at it, what's your opinion of airplane food?
I've heard the joke about "fucking the same woman for the rest of your life" since before I knew what it meant. Oh, hey, look -- here's Vince Vaughn making the joke I've heard so many times, my reaction is considered a form of bulimia.
The point is that when you're immersed in this message long enough, it's easy to start believing it, yourself. And that message is everywhere. From the cliche sitcom best friend who freaks out when he hears that his buddy is engaged, to beloved comedians who are actually married, like Chris Rock, talking about how boring and sexless it is.
And that's not to say that it isn't funny. One of my favorite sketch shows, Mr. Show, pulled it off beautifully. But after a lifetime of standing in dead fish, it's impossible to not absorb the smell.
Mmmmm ... marriage.
This may not sound very logical to you, and that's perfectly understandable. It barely makes sense to me, and I'm a dude. But it's the no-magazine, no-bullshit truth. We're afraid of marriage because we smell like dead fish.
#4. Ridiculously Expensive, Lavish Weddings
Men aren't totally disconnected from the idea of a wedding. We understand that it's important for not only the couple, but for their families. Our marriage is linking two entire groups of people, and yes, they deserve to bear witness to that ceremony. We also understand that those invitations are more than just a piece of paper that says when and where it's going to be held. It's telling the person, "You are important enough to me that I want you involved in this celebration." And to anyone who didn't get one: "You are a fucking embarrassment, and we don't want you anywhere near us on this day." We get that, and we're fine with it.
But every time we add another name to that list, we can hear our bank account go from a trickling, high-pitched squeal to that farting sound a balloon makes when you let it go without tying the end.
Let it go, man. You're trying to save the boat by draining the ocean.
The average wedding in the United States costs $27,000. That's not counting the honeymoon -- that's just the ceremony and the reception. That's because in every movie, every TV show, every magazine, the message is very clear: A wedding has to be fancy to the point of evaporating an entire year's salary. Even the most simple service shown in movies is something that in reality would cost five figures. It's become a necessity. Just another part of getting married. The fact that "wedding planner" is an actual job is a testament to that.
Men, on the other hand, feel like failures if they can't financially provide that type of a ceremony. But that's understating what a double edged sword it is for us because on one hand, if you can't afford to give her a wedding that makes her feel like royalty, you're inadequate. But if you do pull it off, you're now left with a debt on par with a brand new, zero-miles car -- you've failed your new wife as a responsible provider.
Oh, wait. The father of the bride is supposed to pay for all of that, right?
Here in the farming region of the Midwest, $27,000 is more than most people make in a year. Asking a woman's father for his approval is hard enough -- but asking him to shell out enough money to move into the townhouse Courtney Love was recently evicted from? What kind of balls are required for that?
No, the days of the father paying for the wedding are over. Especially in an economy where people are having to shave down their lifestyles in favor of survival. Dumping tens of thousands of dollars into a one-day ceremony is not only unreasonable, but impossible for an average person to do alone. And every bullshit story we hear about other weddings just makes us cringe.
"Yeah, keep on smiling. I'm getting anal after all this."
Recently, one of my fiance's coworkers told her that a good way to reduce the price is to go with "alternative props." For instance, instead of buying sterling silver candle holders for the Unity Candle (whatever the hell that is), she and her husband opted to pour two different colors of sand into a jar. That way, they made the same symbolic gesture, and got a nice memento to boot. The sand only cost them $50. The jar was $100.
Wait, what? Fifty bucks for goddamn sand? A hundred bucks for a jar?
See, stories like that scare us. We as men don't need or want the huge, showy production of a wedding. We do it because we know you want it, and you deserve to be put on a pedestal. We know this day is about you. But the mere thought of all that money just up and vanishing for a 30 minute ceremony and a couple hour reception is just seems ... retarded to us.
"That'll be $200. And there's nothing abnormal about that at all."
#3. We Compare Our New Relationships to Old Ones
One of the top reasons we've given for men being afraid of marriage is one perpetuated by magazines like Cosmopolitan or shows like MTV's Guy Code, which is so bad, it'll give you chlamydia. They tell us that guys are afraid of not just marriage but the general idea of commitment. According to them, we just love to fuck every woman we see, every second of the day, and committing to one person ends that ability.
Now while I concede that those men do exist in the world, you have to understand that they make up a fraction of a percent of the male population. It's a personality type that the entertainment industry finds fascinating, so they focus on it ... and I can't really blame them. Who wants to watch a reality show about an average looking, normal guy not getting laid for six months?
"This week, on Steve ..."
The average guy doesn't have a line of women sitting by the phone, just waiting for him to call so they can be blessed by his awe-inspiring ass tamer. No, the truth behind our fear is far less stupid.
Men are creatures of habit. We like to find a nice comfortable routine to live in and stick to that. The problem is that over years of building our patterns, we've come to expect certain inevitabilities from relationships. Obviously, we've never had one that worked because if we did, we would have never found you -- we'd still be with one of our past girlfriends.
So over time, we've come to learn that the pattern of all relationships is "meet, date, commit, break up." Even if it's not a conscious thought, right at the forefront of our brains, it's still there. Because of this, the mere idea of marriage is foreign to us. We're not thinking about the fact that marriage means "committing to stay together forever." We're thinking, "Won't that make our eventual breakup a hundred times harder?"
"Is ... is it because of my sweater?"
Now don't get me wrong here -- we're not sitting around, planning a future breakup. Far from it. We've just become conditioned over years to assume that X + Y = Z ... where both X and Y equals "sex followed by breakup." And Z also means "sex followed by breakup."
Adding marriage to that formula seems like an extra layer of complication that makes it that much harder to decide who gets the Xbox when we're packing our shit.
And it's not that all of our past relationships were agreed upon to be month-long flings. They all started out with the best of intentions, just like with you. But over time, things happen. The impression stage wears off. People fall out of love. You find out that the woman you're with likes to wear the skin of her fallen enemies. Or you find out that all the stupid shit you're doing makes her think of you as her 14-year-old brother. My ex wife and I didn't realize that we weren't right for each other until three children and a decade after we tied the knot. And that's even taking into account that we were making a concerted effort to make things work.
I may have gone a little overboard.

At the request of the State Department, which has jurisdiction over the $7 billion Keystone XL pipeline project since it would start in Canada, President Obama blocked it for approval last year, which brought accusations of killing jobs to placate environmentalists by the Republican Party.
The pipeline was planned to run from Canada across sensitive areas of the US to Texas and the Gulf of Mexico, but more comprehensive impact studies needed to be completed. Obama will be taking up the issue again over the next month under pressure from Republicans, who said Obama was blocking the creation of up to a staggering 700,000 jobs, according to an American Enterprise Institute report.
Obama wisely took GOP demands with a grain of salt and put environmental concerns by individual states, like Nebraska, where the pipeline would have to cross a major aquifer—ahead of Republican demands.
Canadian-based Environmental Defence has fought the increase of tar sands extraction for years. Tar sand extraction is nothing like oil drilling. It is a highly destructive process that leaves entire ecosystems destroyed, because the oil has to be removed from hard clay, dirt and sand, using twice the fresh water that most average cities use in a year. Then it has to be treated with a carcinogenic chemical to thin the gooey substance enough to flow through pipelines. Other observations by the Environmental Defence include:
The Natural Resources Defense Council is among hundreds of US-based conservation groups and businesses that oppose the Keystone XL pipeline:
"The public deserves to know the real plan about tar sands coming to their backyard," said Danielle Droitsch, from the NRDC. "We know tar sands oil destroys the Boreal forest and pumps large amounts of climate-changing carbon pollution. We've also seen how pipeline spills around the Great Lakes harm water and human health, which is why so many are concerned."
Furthermore, the hefty jobs numbers predicted by Republicans and conservative think-tanks have also been challenged, since the majority of jobs would be in Canada and jobs in the US would be mostly temporary.
In addition, a recent report from the Global Labor Institute said that environmental destruction by spills could far outweigh the creation of jobs by pipeline construction. It cites concerns that potential oil spills, which have plagued similar pipelines in Canada, could be economically devastating.
Excerpt from GLI report:
Potential spills from the Keystone XL pipeline could far outweigh the benefits of jobs created by the project. The institute, which advocates the creation of union jobs in renewable energy and analyzes sustainability issues, believe that more than a million people work in agricultural or tourism jobs in the six states along Keystone XL's route and the economic costs could be considerable if a major spill occurred.
But Republicans in Congress don't want the American people to consider warnings from Canadian or US conservationists. Many GOP Party members are anti-science, anti-sustainability, anti-renewable energy and others don't even believe global warming is real.
Obama's inspirational inaugural speech and friendly Republican photo-ops Monday morning aren't expected to abate Republican obstructionism for long.
Why? Because they don't like him. They don't like any intelligent, thoughtful, articulate, empathic, popular or pragmatic thing about him. And if they don't get their way on things like Keystone XL pipeline, critics expect GOP clowns in Congress to waste little time in performing Act II.

TRUCKEE — Many, many, years ago — OK, in 2009 — in the back corner of downtown Truckee on Jibboom Street, an unsuspecting couple ventured into the cool, dark Old Jail Museum, one of the few surviving 19th century jailhouses. The old Bastille, used continuously from 1875 until May 1964 and a virtual strongbox, looked inviting with artifacts from industries including lumbering, box manufacturing and ice harvesting.
"The door was open, and we thought, oh, what small-town charm, just boxes for a donation," said Anne Flamm, vacationing with her husband Scott Flamm.
They were downstairs in the back room, when they heard a noise and joked, "We're going to get locked in!" The Flamms didn't pay much attention, until they realized about 20 minutes later, they really were locked in. A Truckee Donner Historical Society member had dropped by and departed, unwittingly locking the Cleveland, Ohio visitors inside.
The Old Jail walls are 32 inches thick at the lower level, with no windows unless you count the vents for each cell, set with irregular rows of two-inch steel bars. The ceilings are plate steel, insulated with dirt, and lined with narrow gauge railroad tracks. All doors are riveted steel, weighing an estimated 200 pounds each.
Fortunately, they had a cell phone — and a sense of humor. The calls ping ponged from the Truckee Donner Chamber to the TDHS to the town of Truckee police. Keys were secured and TPD Officer Jeff Safford approached the Old Jail.
"Boy, they were thrilled to see me," said Safford of their 30-minute wait. "They were pretty jovial, joking they were going to be 'free at last.'"
"That's one of the comforting thing about being in a small town," said Anne. "Everybody knows each other."
A serious rescue effort
City of San Francisco exhibit
A life-threatening event occurred in 1952 when the luxury streamliner City of San Francisco was stranded in deep snow on Donner Summit. A heroic rescue effort ensued (find Mark McLaughin's account at sierrasun.com).
Truckee's history centers on railroads, tourism and dealing with the "storm king." The railroad is a common thread in the area's history. The 1952 snowbound City of San Francisco train rescue is one of the monumental Sierra tales, which captured the nation's attention.
Truckee played a key role in the rescue operations. The 2012 Truckee Old Jail Museum Exhibit highlights the harrowing yet successful rescue from a personal perspective. Stories from passengers and crew members, rescue effort participants and surviving family members are told.
Museum hours are Saturday, Sunday and holidays through September, 11 a.m.-4 p.m.; and Truckee Thursdays through Aug. 23, 5-7 p.m.
Also exhibited are artifacts from the Truckee's early winter sports era, including early skiing equipment and historical photographs. Other exhibits pay tribute to the film industry, which thrived in Truckee during the 1920s along with gambling and bootlegging.-
Pack a picnic lunch to enjoy in the memorial garden behind the Old Jail. The always friendly and often entertaining volunteer docents are happy to answer questions.

Serves 8 |
Prep Time 2 hours |
Cook Time 10 minutes
32 ounces Eden Apple Juice
1 pinch Eden Sea Salt
4 Tbsp Eden Agar Agar Flakes
4 cup fresh strawberries, remove stems
1 Tbsp organic maple syrup, optional
Place the juice, salt and agar flakes in a sauce pan, stir and bring to a boil. Reduce the flame to medium-low and simmer until the flakes have dissolved, about 10 minutes. Slice 3 cups of strawberries and place in a shallow bowl. When the agar flakes have dissolved, remove from the flame and allow to cool slightly before pouring the juice over the strawberries. Refrigerate until gelled, about 1 1/2 hour. This gelled dessert is now called kanten. Place the kanten in a blender with the maple syrup and remaining strawberries. Puree several seconds until creamy. Place the custard in small serving dishes.
Variation: this custard is nice with sliced fresh strawberries or whole blueberries on top. Granola sprinkled on top adds delightful crunch.

Jay Leno apologized Tuesday for on-air remarks he made during a chat with Ryan Phillippe that were then criticized by gay activists and others.
"In talking about Ryan's first role, I realize that what I said came out wrong," the host of NBC's Tonight Show said in a statement to PEOPLE. "I certainly didn't mean any malice. I agree it was a dumb thing to say, and I apologize."
Last week, while talking with Phillippe (whose appearance was keyed to his new movie Stop-Loss), Leno, 57, said to the actor, "Can you give me, like – say that camera is your gay lover ..." (Phillippe's first role was as a gay character on a soap opera).
Leno then went on to say, "Can you give me your 'gayest look?' "
"Wow," replied Phillippe, 33. "That is so something I don't want to do."
On Tuesday, the gay rights group GLAAD condemned the remarks.
"We are proud of Ryan for refusing to participate in Leno's thoughtless attempt at humor," said GLAAD President Neil G. Giuliano. "Under the guise of comedy, the talk-show host is demonstrating a lack of respect for the gay community and insensitivity to both his co-workers and the audience, to whom he owes an apology."

United officials review 3-mill levy information
April 18, 2013
HANOVERTON — Two board members are concerned that information regarding the 3-mill continuous permanent improvement levy on the May 7 ballot is confusing residents....
The school has admitted in print they did not maintain the school because they wanted the new one. Why should the people have confidence that decision has been reversed. I won't vote for more money when they neglect the children purposely.
2 Agrees | 2 Disagrees | Report Abuse »
This school has a track record in print of deceiving the people to get a new school. They have lost the support of the locals as shown by the embarrassing defeats of the new school has shown.
2 Agrees | 2 Disagrees | Report Abuse »
That has to be one of the stupidest reasons to not vote for a levy. United has been one of the BEST schools in the county for YEARS in managing funds...just look around you at other schools in the red! So much so that they are still operating on a levy that was passed almost 30 years ago! It's $10 a month, we need to maintain this building since the voters won't allow a new one. You either pay for a new building or pay to maintain the old one, the maintenance fairy isn't going to show up!
1 Agrees | 2 Disagrees | Report Abuse »
They didn't maintain the one they have. Don't you read this newspaper? How long would you give your adult child money to improve their life when the spend it on things opposite of your reasons for giving it? They spend money on internet and sending the principal to China so they can bring back communist ideals to our children. They didn't fix the roof or update the electric. Do any people of your group read this paper or just hold your hands out for others' money to try to fix stupid?
2 Agrees | 1 Disagrees | Report Abuse »
Merge with another district and lose the money pit.
2 Agrees | 1 Disagrees | Report Abuse »
They have maintained the building...it's still standing and safe, isn't it? It's badly outdated and not up to serving the 21st century needs of the students, but it's not some dilapidated structure and far from a "money pit." And what district to you propose merging with? Look around you...United is not in a position where they should be looking into taking on the problems of any neighboring districts. That's an asinine notion.
0 Agrees | 1 Disagrees | Report Abuse »
I guess you misunderstand. The board backs this behavior. Our only recourse is to defund the district and merge with one that has sensible monetary practices. I see the signs already spreading that defeated the school levy in the area. What happened to all that shale money the school has? We are tired of looking at our property tax bills getting hit twice to fund deceivers. No trust, no money.

At least 13 people have tested positive for hepatitis, after undergoing screening offered by Olean General Hospital because of the possibility that insulin pens were inadvertently reused, according to a report in the Olean Times Herald on Thursday.
At least one former patient reportedly plans to sue the hospital system, after claiming to have been infected when injected with an insulin pen at the hospital last year.
Those are the two latest developments since last month when the hospital mailed 1,915 patients letters recommending they seek testing, after an internal review raised the possibility that some of them may have received an injection from another patient's insulin pen.
The issue in Olean followed news that 716 patients at Buffalo Veterans Affairs Medical Center may have been exposed to HIV, hepatitis B or hepatitis C for the same reasons.
Cattaraugus County Public Health Director Dr. Kevin Watkins told the Board of Health this week that the recent testing revealed 12 people tested positive for hepatitis C and one person for hepatitis B, the newspaper reported.
But it's not clear exactly how those people may have been infected.
Both the commissioner and Olean General said the hospital "has not identified a single patient who ever received an insulin injection from another patient's insulin pen."
The hospital said Thursday that it could not go into details about the testing of patients or results, but "there is no documentation at this time of the transmission of any blood-borne infections during the stay of any patient who received insulin by an insulin pen at OGH from November 2009 to Jan. 16, 2013."
Watkins told the newspaper that those who tested positive will be retested to confirm the diagnosis.
Meanwhile, the Olean paper also quoted John Elmore, an attorney with Brown Chiari, that he plans to file papers against the hospital in Cattaraugus County Supreme Court on behalf of a client who claims to have been infected with hepatitis when being injected with an insulin pen at the hospital last year.
Neither Watkins nor Elmore returned calls from The Buffalo News seeking comment Thursday.

There hasn't been a moment to sit still. I made dozens and dozens and dozens of cookies and truffles for teacher gifts and finished my Christmas shopping (all online of course, mostly at etsy)
and freecycled some things and picked up some things from freecycle and I'm involved in the auction (that ends today) and finalization of the Triathlon
and a ton of other things I can't even tell you about yet and, oh, fit in being a Mom and writer so I've been staying up past 2 a.m. every night to sit at my computer and work in the fabulous quiet of my house.
2 a.m. is actually quite beautiful when everyone else is fast asleep. I'm a little addicted to it.
There's so much to be done. There's so much chaos around me.
But I feel calm.
The kids busy themselves without me while I'm elbow deep in powdered sugar. So I spy and find them doing really sweet things like playing nicely together, or making up a new game or planning a new adventure in the bunk beds
and I
realize that it's not the moments they are on display for everyone to see, like when we meet new people, when we're walking into church, or in line at the grocery store. Their behavior in those times is not a reflection of my parenting (or shortcomings as a Mother).
It's these very moments, the ones when no one is watching. When you can see right in the window to what's true in their hearts and intentions, open and wide.
I peek and I beam and stifle teary giggles
and I
burst with love.
[And I think, I'm doing okay at this. ]
This is good.
This is really good.
And I
[think about who's watching me.]

Whythawk Bue Emerging Market Abstracts offer rapid, high-level comparative emerging market overviews. Each is designed to be read in no more than 20 minutes and in combination with our other abstracts. To assist comparisons, data covers a constant period, with the content bringing events up to date.
The Bue data analysis system - used in the abstracts - allows rapid, consistent and objective comparison of specific countries or regions against a chosen benchmark, using an expansive set of data from trusted sources. Country criteria selected from the UN, IMF, World Bank and WHO (amongst others) are benchmarked against those of a basket of competitive emerging nations.
The Bue scores are based on a rate of change in the criteria considered in each segment; it is not a measure of the absolute number of that particular factor. In this way, the Bue scores are able to allow comparison between highly diverse and very different countries.
Brazil, Chile, China, India, Indonesia, Poland, Russian Federation, Turkey and Vietnam
Data used for the Bue Curve is arranged into six segments:
1. Demography: Population, Health and Education
2. Economy: Market Opportunity and Investment Environment
3. Infrastructure: Telecommunications, Energy, Access and Rights
4. State: Governance, Law and Stability
5. Structure: Aid, Enterprise and State Expenditure
6. Healthcare: Morbidity, Mortality & Treatment

Hemorrhoids (HEM-uh-roids), also called piles, are swollen and inflamed veins in your anus and lower rectum. Hemorrhoids may result from straining during bowel movements or from the increased pressure on these veins during pregnancy, among other causes. Hemorrhoids may be located inside the rectum (internal hemorrhoids), or they may develop under the skin around the anus (external hemorrhoids).
Hemorrhoids are common ailments. By age 50, about half of adults have had to deal with the itching, discomfort and bleeding that can signal the presence of hemorrhoids.
Fortunately, many effective options are available to treat hemorrhoids. Most people can get relief from symptoms by using home treatments and making lifestyle changes.

Skipping rope? Mini-trampoline/rebounder? Indoor climbing wall? Dance classes?
Greetings from South Africa! Not wanting to sound like 'one of those mothers', I was wondering about children's fitness? In summer we have no problem getting outdoors cycling, running, swimming etc; it's just winters I need help. What can I do to keep their overall fitness up & keep it down to 20min sessions?
Skipping rope? Mini-trampoline/rebounder? Indoor climbing wall? Dance classes?
Annie Ups the Ante
Can the kids also do the squads, push ups etc like we do...just less of course?
Designate an hour per day where electronics are switched off and then open the back door and kick them out...My kids love their trampoline/bikes/swings/ scooters etc......they are naturally very active kids and don't get fed many sweets at all..
We just have a rain problem in winter. Sweets & electronics are already switched off during the week. My daughter is a good swimmer, but I don't want to start the swimming through out the year, like her friends, as she will get bored too soon. So I need to get her fit for when swimming season starts.
Do you want this to be stuff they do at home or another class?
I don't know how big your house is, but obstacle courses are great fun.
You could create a mini-circuit workout - a minute or two of an activity then change, and include plenty of fun things like star jumps or crazy dance moves.
My daughter is 7 yo and we live in a place where winter lasts 6+ months of the year. As the weather gradually becomes worse, I start adding up active classes for her. Normally she starts with athletic 2 classes a week, in September and October, and I increase it to 3 -4 classes a week in the dead of winter. She has done swimming since age 4, last winter I set her up with diving and that was the BEST thing ever, because they do dryland gymnastics type of stuff there and then jump into the water, she loves it! We also tried badminton and basketball. On our own, we play ping-pong, go to Zumba together once in a while, or to the pool and climbing wall. She doesn't like ice-skating, but I do. But she now tries to roller-blade, so fingers crossed she will be more willing to skate.
We also go for walks and frequent a snow hill nearby for sledding. Oh, and a play gym, they set up play-gym every Sunday with a bouncy slide, and bunch of balls, hoops, mats etc.
My daughter also takes a huge interest in the gym, so she often asks to go to the gym with me, and I teach her push-ups, pull-ups, squats on the bosu ball and stretching. Yesterday she refused to leave the rec centre until she tried the Kaiser bike. She told me it is a good practice for her biking (she can't yet make the transition to the two-wheeler).
Now, I guess, I sound like one of those moms....
My Journal: http://www.marksdailyapple.com/forum/thread57916.html
When I let go of what I am, I become what I might be.
Give them a stick and let them outside
My daughter is 6 yr old and she used to go to gymnastics class regularly once a week, but not now due to the hot weather (and no air conditioning in the gym).
These days she's interested in my bodyweight training at home, so I'm playing with her with those exercises.
bear walk, spider walk, seal walk, crab walk, assisted handstand, cartwheel, box jump, side jump,
bar hanging, half bridge, kneeling push-up, squat, table pose, tree pose, down dog pose, etc.
There are so many bodyweight exercises and yoga poses you can enjoy with your children at home.

Race 1: LITTLE CHERIE (1) should be tough stalking the early pace with some class relief and competes for the leading trainer. SPONTANEITY (3) SWIMMING PARTY (2) appears to be the speed of the speed and should improve second time at the distance.
Picks 1-3-2
Race 2: LADY ANN (1) just missed for the win by a neck last time out over the track and is the one to beat. GINGER STONE (3) ran a distance second with an awkward start and wide trip to be considered a contender in this spot. WILL GRACIE SHINE (4) has been very consistent runner on the Polytrack all winter and has a good work on the dirt.
Picks 1-3-4
Race 3: DEEP IN A DREAM (3) has a good series of works with a drop in class from a hot barn. IRISH COLONEL (1A) has fast works since he was claimed last time and sharp at the distance. A BAND APART (6) exits sharp effort and should be tough just off the pace.
Picks 3-1A-6
Race 4: BILLY'S KITTEN (1A) has two solid tries on the grass, which he exits very tough maiden race last time out that he just missed. TOWN CLASSIC (4) should move forward with a race over the turf and change of tactics with a new rider in the irons. DECISIVE TRIUMPH (3) may like the added distance to be a serious contender for his first start at KEE at 8-1 odds.
Picks 1A-4-3
Race 5: MANIACAL (4) ran second behind a talented 2yo now stakeswinner in his first career start and he's training sharply to be dangerous for winning connections.

Picks 4-2-3
Race 6: AMAZING BETS (6) exits a wide trip hoping to move forward with a new rider aboard and has a good record at the distance. SCENT OF GOLD (3) should be the lone speed and others may never catch her, but it's the longest distance of her career. FLATTER ME ZANJA (1) has some class and gets the top rider in the saddle.
Picks 6-3-1
Race 7: GIMLET (7) got into some trouble in her latest and hopes for a clean trip as she returns to her preferred footing for top connections. SCISSORS and TAPE (1) tries the grass first time, but has good form over synthetic footing and she has early speed in a race lacking speed. HONOVI (6) is a well-bred 3yo that exits his sharpest performance on the turf.
Picks 7-1-6
Race 8: SPANK (2) won wire to wire to break her maiden and barn wins at 15% back to back races. CLASSY GREY LASSY (3) was an impressive winner on debut and biggest threat to choice early from the gate. STRIKE BACK FAST (1) returns off a brief freshening and has the experience edge.
Picks 2-3-1
Race 9: The Grade III Bewitch Stakes
BUTTON DOWN (6) appears the most consistent turf runner that always fires late and has a good record at the distance. OLORDA (8) is one of the most accomplished ladies in this field and should be considered a serious threat from the Chad Brown stable. GENEROSIDADE (11) has two wins at the marathon distance and could prove it was all worth shipping in from the west coast with her regular rider.
Picks 6-8-11
Race 10: BOOGIEWOOGIEDANCIN (7) has early speed going long to be one of the key players in the final race of the meet. SHOPPINGWITHBILL (5) runs for a capable barn and gets in light with a bug rider.

Easy steps to transform a few paper plates into a ladybug clock and discover a hidden surprise! This peek-a-boo clock is a fun way for your preschooler to learn to tell time.
Watch Kai-lan every day on Nick Jr.
For the ladybug's head, cut out a crescent shape slightly above the central circle of a 9-inch paper plate. Cut another paper plate in half for the ladybug's wings.
Have your child paint the back of the two half plates in red. After they dry, paint big black dots over the red paint.
Paint the back of the crescent shape in black. After drying, have your child draw two white circles in the center as the ladybug's eyes. Let dry, and then draw two smaller black circles within the eyes to make pupils. Set aside the painted pieces.
Cut out Kai-lan's Ladybug Clock Template. Attach Kai-lan's clock image in the center (through the front) of a new plate. If desired, paint the front of the plate before you glue on the clock image. Use the pointy tail of an unopened brad to poke through the bottoms of the hour and minute hands and the center of the plate (with the clock image in place). Open the brad fastener at the back of the plate to secure it.
Connect the ladybug shapes to the clock plate with a brad. Before you do that, arrange the pieces together to have a vision of the final product. All the painted sides of the plates and the clock image should face you--the clock plate at the bottom, the two wings forming a circle but slightly overlapped at the top, and the head (crescent shape) as the upmost layer covering the top corners of the wings. Use the pointy tail of an unopened brad to poke through the top of all the shapes in this order, and open the brad at the back of the clock plate to secure it.

quote: A stockholder in a public company does not get to know the details of each and every detail that company makes. For example, you can't be a stockholder in Apple, owning a single share, then go in and demand to see all the files or any single file you want to see. It does not work that way.
quote: Apple, with HTC's support, was willing to provide the entire agreement with just 33 words and numbers redacted out.
