There are numerous reasons why many of us choose to take a daily supplement. Lifestyle and dietary influences may impact on our food choices, leading to concern for the nutrient content of our meals:
• Work and family commitments may impact on available time for food planning, shopping and cooking.
• Not all weight loss programmes will consider your micronutrient needs, with focus given to the macro nutrients of protein, fats and carbohydrates.
• Young children and teenagers may provide dietary challenges, with small or missed meals and a preference for snacks, processed convenience foods and the fast food outlets.
• Those caring for elderly relatives and those suffering from ill health will often find reduced appetites difficult to cater for.
There may be times and events in our lives which create an increased need for nutrients which cannot always be addressed by diet alone:
• Pregnancy and breastfeeding;
• Intensive exercise programmes;
• Lifestyle issues leading to elevated or chronic stress; and
• Acute or chronic health problems and postsurgical recovery.
Promoting and supporting good health may at times benefit from the addition of food supplements ensuring we meet our nutritional needs:
• Preconception is often a time for both prospective parents to ensure nutritional support for a healthy conception and pregnancy.
• Athletes' training regimes drive an increased nutrient demand for maintenance, tissue repair and immune protection. Antioxidant requirements also increase post intensive training or competing.
• Maintaining healthy bones and the prevention of osteoporosis may require additional nutritional support.
• Vegetarian and vegan diets may require additional support for nutrients such as vitamin B12 and Vitamin D.
How can good nutrition promote health?
Starting with preconception, we know that poor eating habits, nutrient deficiencies and alcohol consumption can, for example, impact on sperm quality, successful conception, pregnancy and the health and weight of baby at birth. More recent research indicates that in the future we will view the nutritional status of mother and baby during pregnancy as relevant for the health of baby, not only at birth but also setting the basis for the lifelong health of the infant.
This early indication for the importance of diet and nutrition to our health is relevant throughout our years; often we consider aspects of ill health as an inevitable part of the aging process. Observational studies of various cultures, diets and lifestyles demonstrate that aging is possible without many of those diseases we consider an integral part of our maturing years in the Western World today.
Obesity: the hidden health implications
Poor dietary choices can lead to a number of nutritional deficiencies and increasing bodyweight with the accumulation of unhealthy levels of fat. The onset of obesity is now considered far more detrimental to our health than was initially forecast; early concerns for cardiovascular disease and Type 2 Diabetes are now joined by an increased risk for liver disease and some cancers. Whilst total body fat and health concerns have been a concern for many years, we now understand that the distribution of fat is also important. The "pear" shape is considered an example of subcutaneous fat which is located under the skin, more frequently associated with fat deposited in the lower abdominal, hip and thigh areas, sometimes described as 'fat you can pinch between your fingers'. Visceral fat is located centrally in the abdominal area and is responsible for the "apple" shaped abdomen; recent findings demonstrate that visceral fat is also located inside the abdominal cavity and around our organs. This hidden fat is considered a health concern for those evidencing excess weight and equally for many who maintain ideal bodyweight. Excess body fat is now known to be inflammatory with obesity representing a chronic low level of inflammation.
Inflammation has many potential causes; obesity linked inflammation should potentially be preventable or treatable with a healthy, balanced diet and exercise. Dietary choices and inflammation have additional relevance, with research indicating the typical Western diet may also be driving inflammation, with many diets devoid of natural protective nutrients provided by a healthy balanced and nutritious diet. Studies have demonstrated that a diet low in processed and refined foods is beneficial to the reduction of inflammatory markers: this includes the traditional Mediterranean style of eating, with dietary focus given to fruit, vegetables, healthy fats from olive oil, nuts, seeds and fish lower intakes of meat (particularly red meat.)
|Inflammation and the inflammatory process has
long been associated with conditions such as
arthritis, asthma, cardiovascular disease and
inflammatory bowel disease; medical science
continues to advance and chronic inflammation is
now considered central to the pathology of many
disorders such as auto-immune conditions,
diabetes, cancer and depression with conditions
such as Alzheimer's and Parkinson's disease also
evidencing neuro-inflammatory aspects.
Inflammatory conditions, particularly those
associated with pain and joints, are often treated
with anti-inflammatory medication. Research has
identified the natural anti-inflammatories in food
such as the flavonoids found in fruit and
vegetables, which provide the dietary potential to
reduce inflammation.
The Immune System
Our immune function is comprised of two systems, the innate system (our first line of defence responding to protect the body from viral and bacterial infection), and the adaptive system (assisting in developing our immunity, learning from past infections and inoculations, developing our immunity and protection).
|The adaptive
system is that responsible for auto-immune
conditions such as rheumatoid arthritis. Errors of
this system result in the body wrongly identifying
tissue and attacking itself, ( or as in allergy, where
an excessive response is initiated to allergens such
as pollen or foods).
The innate system (for many of us) protects and keeps us healthy, destroying potentially harmful organisms; others, however are not so lucky with the innate immune system failing to protect.
So why does the innate immune system fail us?
Potential weakening factors would include stress, lifestyle, toxins, illness, drugs or a nutritionally inadequate diet. As with all systems of the body we require a balanced intake of nutrients in our diet, and many different micronutrients have been identified as vital for the correct functioning the innate immune system. Herbal products have also been identified as beneficial support for the immune system, including ginseng. More recently benefits have been established for the Beta Glucan 1-3,1-6 derived from the cell wall of baker's yeast. This beta glucan plays a critical role in restoring healthy and correct function of our innate immune system, providing that important first line of defence.
Digestive Health
Thanks to the media and the availability of probiotic drinks and yoghurts, we are now much more aware of their importance in a healthy digestive tract. Promotions include the use of probiotics for reducing abdominal bloating, and aiding regularity of the bowel. Healthy gut bacteria have a much wider application in protecting our health, encouraging the colonising in sufficient quantity of healthy (friendly native) bacteria. This can, by the advantage of numbers, help to protect against sickness bugs caused by harmful and undesirable bacteria.
The digestive system is also an important factor in immune function where, for example, stress has been found to detrimentally change the balance of natural protective bacteria in the gut, leading to a dysregulation in the immune response.
Your digestive system will benefit from maintaining a healthy, balanced, bowel flora. It is of particular importance in the following situations:
• After the use of antibiotics, which beneficially destroy harmful bacteria but also kill natural protective bacteria.
• During or post periods of physical and/or emotional stress.
• Those with diagnosed irritable bowel syndrome or inflammatory bowel disease may find a replenishment of friendly bacteria beneficial to their symptoms.
It is important to understand that our intestinal flora contains a wide range of protective bacteria: the more commonly known group of beneficial bacteria belong to the lactobacillus and bifidobacterium groups. It is always best to top-up your own commensal friendly bacteria with the same mixed strains in a probiotic product. Single species products (as often found in yoghurts) will provide limited protection.
Steps to promoting good health
To maintain good health, it is important to ensure an adequate and balanced intake of all nutrients that support growth, repair, energy and protection. Preventative health care and compromised health will also benefit from good nutrition with immune function, digestive health and the prevention and modulation of inflammation all importantly requiring the correct nutrition.
Nutritional supplements can play an important part in ensuring your optimum intake of nutrients.
However these should always support a healthy diet and not be used as a replacement for, or to address, poor dietary habits. It is essential to review your diet. Occasional poor food choices are unlikely to lead to be detrimental to health; however, if they feature frequently in your weekly diet then, over time, they will take their toll on your health and changes may be indicated.

Shepherd's pie is great because you can throw just about anything into a baking dish and add mashed potatoes. So, feel free to experiment with whatever you have hanging out in your fridge. Vegan Mom made this version, which was the best tasting pie we have had yet. This recipe is a bit weird because it makes use of the leftover mushroom mixture from last night's tacos--you don't have to make the same mixture, but I do think the mushrooms add nice flavour to the whole dish
- 2 tbsp oil
- 1 onion, diced
- 1 1/2 cup TVP
- 1/2 recipe of this mushroom mixture, finely chopped
- 2 tbsp HP sauce
- 2 tbsp soy sauce
- 1 1/4 cup water
- 1/4 cup ketchup
- frozen mixed vegetables
- 8-10 potatoes, cooked and mashed with margarine and soy milk
- 1/2 cup bread crumbs
Preheat oven to 350 degrees
1. Heat oil in a frying pan over med-hi heat. Saute onions for 5-6 mins, until softened and translucent. Add in TVP, mushroom mixture, HP sauce, soy sauce and mix well. Add water and cook until absorbed and TVP is soft. Stir in ketchup and remove from heat.
2. Spread 1/3 of the mashed potatoes in the bottom of a 2 quart casserole dish. Add a layer of mixed vegetables, and 1/2 of the TVP mixture. Repeat. Top with a final layer of mashed potatoes, sprinkle with breadcrumbs.
3. Bake for 45 mins, until top is golden.

A Republican candidate for Arkansas governor who supports the new voter ID law was left waiting after he forgot his identification.
Spokesman Christian Olson told The Associated Press that Asa Hutchinson forgot his ID when he attempted to vote at the polls in Bentonville on Monday. Olson says a staffer was able to retrieve the ID and bring it to Hutchinson so he could vote.
This election marks the first statewide test of the law requiring voters to show photo identification before casting a ballot. A state judge has ruled the measure unconstitutional, but has suspended his ruling and says he won't prevent enforcement of the law during the primary.

Olson says Hutchinson thought the incident was a "little bit of an inconvenience" but still believes the law is necessary.

Dalai Lama Asks China to Learn From India
By PTI - SHILLONG
Published: 03rd February 2014 07:21 PM
Last Updated: 03rd February 2014 07:21 PM
Tibetan spiritual leader the Dalai Lama today said China should learn from India the practice of harmonious co-existence of different people, languages and lifestyles.
"They should learn from India, which has apart from different regions, different people, different languages, different scripts and different lifestyles. Yet they all live harmoniously," the Dalai Lama said while addressing the convocation of a state university here.
The spiritual leader, who visited Meghalaya for the first time since he made India his home, termed his adopted country as "wonderful and very nice" to live in.
He likened the country to the United Nations in its embracing a multi-cultural, multi-racial and multi-religion society, while blaming Chinese hardliners for infusing hatred against people living in Tibet. "We are not seeking separation from China. We belong to China with common interests and common economic development," the Dalai Lama emphasised.
Claiming to be a disciple of Gandhi's principle of non-violence, the spiritual leader said he nursed a hope that India's "concept of peaceful living" would make a better Asia and in turn make a better world.
"Over 3,000 years ago, India had the concept of Ahimsa (non-violence). Because of that it commands respect," he said, adding that India was the living example of religious tolerance and culture.

COLUMBIANA - The street department is getting overwhelmed with the amount of brush being put out by residents for pickup.
Street Superintendent Jesse Wilson said the department has hauled away 138 loads of brush this season.
"Now we are picking up full trees. It has gotten out of hand. I don't really have a solution other than maybe we can have a centralized placed where they can take it," he said.
Councilman Dick McBane said he observed a "tremendous" amount of brush out for pickup, and Councilman Dick Simpson said residents should not expect the department to haul away their landscape refuse.
"If there is a storm and there is a lot of brush down, the city should come pick it up but if I do a lot of landscaping and tear it out and expect the city to come pick it up, that's not right. Maybe we should set some rules on that," Simpson said.
Wilson said the brush is getting worse every year, and that the department is now traveling up to 1,200 miles annually.
"It's very time consuming," he said.
The department also picked up about 100 loads of leaves this year. It averages about 160 to 180 loads for the roughly month-and-a-half spent on leaf pickup each year, he said.
He also said time could be saved through the purchase of a new dump truck with a brine application feature. Using brine between storms means less time spent on the road plowing, he explained.
On Tuesday the department began plowing snow around 5 a.m., about a half-hour after snow began to fall.
"We need to be able to do it quicker ... the only way to do it quicker is to add more trucks. I'd really like to add at least one next year. I'd like to dedicate that to housing developments," he said.
It used to take the department two hours to plow the entire city but that is no longer possible since the city has grown, and the crew is continuing to use the same four trucks as before.
"Now it kills us, it takes too long," he said.
The state's recent salt shortage prompted him to look into the brine alternative, he added.
A brine truck has about a 10- to 15-year life expectancy, and installing a brine application system on one of the existing trucks would cost around $130,000, he said.
Ultimately, he would like to have both - a new brine truck and the application installed on an existing truck.
The department also needs a front end loader to replace the 1970 model back end loader used for salting the roads.
The loader is experiencing mechanical and transmission problems and takes five to 10 minutes to start in cold weather, he said.
A new loader would cost around $120,000 through the purchasing co-op, which is about 45 percent less than what the machine would normally cost, he added.
The department is pursuing grant funding to offset some of the costs of new equipment.
Councilwoman Mary Harold Calinger wished to thank Dickey and Sons for donating equipment for snow removal on Feb. 17.

Here we go again! I've decided to wean off of my SSRI that I've been taking for postpartum depression. I started taking Zoloft when I was about 34 weeks pregnant with Baby Jo, because I was experiencing intrusive thoughts and anxiety reminiscent of the PPD I experienced with C. I was put on 100mg, and it helped a lot but it also gave me weird side effects. It makes me sweat, randomly and profusely. Night sweats, day sweats, all the time.
Down to Zero
Today is the final day of my withdrawal from Effexor: dropping down to 0mg. I'm about an hour past the time I always take my dose, and I'm kind of nervous.
Am I going to have worse withdrawal effects than usual, simply because I'm coming completely off the drug now? Will I finish this long withdrawal process only to find out that I need to continue to be on medication?
Checking In: A Meds Withdrawal Update
It's been nearly two weeks since I've started withdrawing from Effexor. The first phase of my withdrawal was to drop to 112.5 mg from 150 mg. The first few days were the hardest. I had dizziness, nausea, migraines, a sensation that my skin was crawling, and difficulty sleeping. As the time of my next dose approached, I would get very sweaty and jittery. I've been doing better now, but still occasionally get the skin crawling sensation. Sometimes it keeps me from falling asleep at night.
An Apology in Advance…
To my dear family and friends, and anyone else with whom I have contact during the next two months –
I feel the need to apologize in advance. There is a good chance that I will be moody and suffer from a migraine during the majority of the next two months, while I withdraw from Effexor. I will try my absolute best not to be a huge pain in the a$$; but if I am, know that I don't mean it.
On Medical Professionals, Antidepressants and Bad Advice
I'm on 150mg of Effexor. That's a little hard for me to say, because it seems like a lot. On the other hand, research has shown me that Effexor has one of the least potent ingredients on the market.
When I called my OBGYN's office in November complaining of symptoms of PPA and PPD, my doctor was booked for the week and couldn't squeeze me in. They had me see the APNP (advance practice nurse practitioner), who diagnosed my PPD and started me on Effexor immediately. I didn't think to question her judgement of drug choice at the time, because to be honest, I needed help to keep waking up every morning and I needed it fast.

Chris Williams Wins Washington State Am by 10
Starting the final round with a six-stroke lead, Chris Williams didn't let up, adding birdies on the first, fourth and sixth holes at Eagles Pride Golf Course at Joint Base Lewis-McChord, Tacoma, Wash., to win the 86th Washington State Men's Amateur Championship by 10 strokes. He finished at 13-under 271.
Chris Williams
The No. 6-ranked amateur in the world, Williams collected 16 birdies and an eagle on the week. "Keep it easy, and keep it simple," he said of his approach.
Williams, a senior on the men's golf team at the University of Washington, is the reigning WSGA Men's Player of the Year and 2007 WSGA Junior Boys' Player of the Year.
Williams was pleased about winning this title. In 2009 when the championship was held Palouse Ridge Golf Club in Pullman, Wash., Williams, fresh out of high school awaiting his freshman year at the UW, disqualified himself after the second round for signing an incorrect scorecard.
He walked away from the scoring table after the round, went to lunch, and upon returning to the scoreboard realized a mistake was on his card. He returned to the scoring table, explained the situation (he signed for a 70 rather than a 71), and acknowledged he would be disqualified under Rule 6-6d in The Rules of Golf.
At the time, Williams was tied for sixth and in contention entering the third round. "Super-frustrating to play well and end the tournament with a disqualification," said Williams after finally getting it right. "So now I take extra time to check my scorecard."
To watch his full 2012 interview, visit http://bit.ly/WSGAMENAM.
Two days ago Williams was named a first-team All-American by Golfweek, and justifiably so. He represented the U.S. team in the 2012 Walker Cup and Palmer Cup, and is defending champion at the Sahalee Players Championship and Pacific Coast Amateur. The Moscow, Idaho, native has a record UW six individual victories, and holds the record at eight different courses. He qualified for last year's U.S. Open and is a four-time Idaho High School 4A champion.
Nick Varelia of Kent, Wash. posted the low round on Saturday of the Washington Amateur, a 4-under 67 to jump four positions and claim runner-up at 3-under par 281. Varelia was named 2012 Great Northwest Athletic Conference Player-of-the-Year while leading the Vikings to a conference title.
The 2010 Washington State Men's Amateur champion Jeremy Wendelken ended up in third at 2-under 282.

ATLANTA -- Moderate Baptist leaders rallied around former Vice President Al Gore today, giving him a standing ovation for an appeal to save "God's creation" during a gathering that included members of the largest black Baptist denominations.
About 2,500 people applauded Gore at a luncheon during the "Celebration of a New Baptist Covenant" at the Georgia World Congress Center. Representatives of several metro Birmingham churches are participating in the event.
"There is a growing chorus of evangelical voices decrying global warming," said Mercer University President Bill Underwood, one of the organizers.
Gore tailored his global warming slide show to a Baptist audience, including quotations from the Bible that make reference to creation. "I wanted to put it in the context of my own faith tradition as a Baptist," Gore said.
Christians are to be good stewards of the earth and care for the poor, he said. "The poor countries are hit the hardest by global warming," said Gore, who won a Nobel Peace Prize for his work highlighting climate change.

MINNEAPOLIS -- For the postseason, an old pal of mine at USA Today put together a way to rank each player's postseason performance. After a quick check on Monday morning, it's no surprise to see who tops the list: Alex Rodriguez.
"Six RBIs, I believe, couple homers," Yankees manager Joe Girardi said. "Without Alex, we are not in this situation right now."
Think about it. When was the last time anybody could lose count of how many runs A-Rod knocked in during a playoff series?
For the record, Rodriguez is 5-for-11 with two homers and six RBIs.
"I think going back to spring training, I knew I couldn't change all the 0-for-4's and 0-for-5's, and all the guys I left on base, I knew I couldn't change that," Rodriguez said. "So, I am content right now, both on and off the field. And I also knew that I was 34, not 44, and I have an opportunity to do things right both on and off the field."

The battle for the GOP's direction now starts
This obviously has not been a good night for Mitt Romney. He did not do well in swing states. In fact, it appears at this point that he lost most of them.
But this did turn out to be a good night for Republicans like Jeb Bush, who said during the campaign that the GOP must include Latinos, build its tent and negotiate with others. They now have an opening to take the lead in their party, showing that Republicans can appeal to voters who aren't hard-right on social issues, but are conservative on economic ones.
Romney started offering appealing to them during the first debate. As it turned out, he was too late. And, evidently, too many swing voters wondered if he really planned on governing as moderate Mitt.
Now, though, Bush, or anyone else who knows the party must adjust, can start taking their message to the public. As in tomorrow. The battle for the GOP's direction has already started.

Check out mantic59's videos on youtube for a humorous introduction to the art of shaving.
Has anyone here tried African Black Soap? I think it's pretty natural and my sister ordered it from a cosmetic company once. I used it for hair/shaving/shampoo until it ran out. It was really nice and i felt cleaner/softer/nicer smelling while i used it.
I would like to do the no shampoo/soap thing but i work 5 days a week, every week of the year - i never take time off because I'm basically self employed - teaching piano - and if i don't work, i don't make money/pay rent/buy food/etc. So the transition period could be really tricky for me. The only time i have any time off is a week during Christmas time. I don't know if that is enough to adjust.
In other words, based on my experience, a week should be enough, particularly if you can pad it by not shampooing the day of your last session.
Zone diet on and off for several years....worked, but too much focus on exact meal composition
Primal since July 2010...skinniest I've ever been and the least stressed about food
Okay. Thanks for the advice I'll try it out!
I have very long hair (ass length) and haven't used shampoo since June I think. Same with deodorant and normal soap (except hands while cooking and stuff). I have no trouble with my long hair, and I actually found that washing it too often in just water can cause a small problem. So I wash it once a week and it's soft and shiny and not sticky in any way – very manageable actually. Since I cut grains and junk food and other crap from my diet the smell of sweat has decreased drastically! If I find myself in a situation where I sweat a lot and maybe feel I smell a bit I just slice a piece of lemon and use the slice as a role on deodorant. It works wonders I tell you!
Toothpaste without flour is impossible to get where I live so I stopped using it. Instead I brush thoroughly with water several times a day. My teeth and mouth in general has never felt better and I no longer wake up with a bad taste in my mouth. The stony feel on my teeth is gone and I no longer have sensitive roots plus discoloration is gone. If I feel I need to disinfect my mouth I eat a clover of raw garlic and chew it as long as I can stand. It kills all bacteria and virus not only in the mouth but in throat, nasal cavities and lungs – good bye cold.
I actually love white hair, but my family only seems to go murky grey, so I'll stick to my decidedly non-primal trip to the salon every few months. Having blonde streaks brings me a silly amount of happiness.
Zone diet on and off for several years....worked, but too much focus on exact meal composition
Primal since July 2010...skinniest I've ever been and the least stressed about food
Problems with washing my hair too often with just water are mostly that my hair seems more susceptible to seeming greasy and the scalp seems more dry and irritable.
Yeah garlic breath is a "no friends" to many but I have only had very few remarks from people. I teach … when one person says I smell many others says that I don't have to worry because they don't smell it at all. So maybe some people have a more delicate nose than others while others don't smell it at all? Maybe we should just skip the whole attempt to make everyone else happy *S* Most people already look at Groks funny because we eat all the sea food without putting bread and stuff on our plates at a "all you can eat sea food".
Coloring hair? I got my first gray hair the day my son got baptized … that's 7 years ago (I was 22) and I haven't had my hair colored for years! I kinda see my gray hair as an earning. I'm proud of them, of everyone else's unmentionables what them and their SAD-mentality thinks (SAD is a mentality that reaches far beyond food, but that's another topic for another debate forum).

Science news from around the Web:
Eris -- whose discovery in 2006 helped Pluto get demoted to a "plutoid" -- may turn out to be smaller than the former ninth planet. Space.com reports astronomers who observed Eris pass across a distant star this weekend have determined Eris is probably smaller than Pluto, but more massive. When Eris was discovered in 2006, it was thought to be larger than Pluto and was initially christened the 10th planet before the International Astronomical Union moved the two bodies (and others) into its "dwarf planet" classificiation.
ScienceDaily reports a small change in a gene may make people more generous. People with a variant of the COMT gene, which regulates an enzyme that controls certain carriers in the brain (like dopamine), gave twice as much money in a German study than those who lacked the variant. The increased altruism appears to be linked to the gene's effect on dopamine in the brain.
A programmer who got tired of arguing with climate change skeptics has written a program that does it for him. According to Popular Science, the program, @Al_AGW, scans Twitter every five minutes looking for skeptics' arguments, then draws a response from a database with hundreds of answers and links to research.
The BBC reports more than 1,000 tigers have been killed for skins, claws and other body parts over the past decade. The report from Traffic International says enforcement of poaching bans are either "ineffective or an insufficient deterrent." The number of wild tigers has fallen from 100,000 100 years ago to about 3,500 today.
Researchers have found a way to turn skin cells into blood cells. Discover reports the researchers used a virus to carry a gene into the skin cells that "reprogrammed" the cells, which were then exposed to proteins that converted them into blood. The technique could lead to new treatments, although it's not clear if the body will accept the new blood.

Calcitonin is a hormone produced by the thyroid gland that helps regulate calcium levels in the body and is involved in the process of bone building. When taken by shot or nasal spray, it slows the rate of bone thinning related to osteoporosis.
Calcitonin levels in the blood drop after a person has his or her thyroid gland removed. But medicine is not needed to replace this lost hormone.
Calcitonin sometimes is used as treatment to relieve pain from spinal fractures related to osteoporosis. It is not known how calcitonin decreases pain.

Wanted: A clear and coherent language policy
The introduction of national languages in schools of Senegal has been on governments' educational agenda for decades. Several experiments have been carried out but without real success. Today, the use of national languages is still not a reality.
It is generally accepted that the use of mother tongue in schools is a powerful remedy against illiteracy.
In her message on the occasion of International Mother Language Day, on 21 February 2012, Irina Bokova, Director-General of UNESCO stresses how "linguistic diversity accelerates the achievement of the Millennium Development Goals, in particular the objectives of Education for All".
Panel discussion in Dakar
To celebrate the 13th edition of the International Mother Language Day, UNESCO's Regional Office for Education in Africa, based in Dakar, and the Ministry of Education of Senegal are bringing together experts to discuss bilingual education in Senegal.
The discussions will revolve around the theme Use of mother tongues for inclusive education.
Urgent need for language policy
Experts from the Senegalese Ministry of Education, universities and civil society will review the difficulties of introducing national languages in Senegal's education system. They will also propose solutions to move forward.
"The goal is to see together how best to install multilingualism in Senegalese schools," says Yao Ydo, Chief of Peace Education and Sustainable Development in UNESCO Dakar.
"We know that a child who first learn to read and write in his or her mother tongue has a much greater chance of succeeding in school and it makes it easier to read and write in a second language," he added.
"It is therefore urgent to define a clear and coherent language policy that allows the national languages to play their rightful role in the progress towards implementing Education for All," Ydo says.

CHESTER-Recipients of the latest round of grants from the Hancock County Savings Bank Charitable Foundation include area museums, schools, foundations and social service organizations.
Twenty-five local organizations received funding from the Chester foundation, which, since its founding in 1999, has awarded more than $500,000 in grants to help meet people's physical, nutritional and educational needs.
Among the 2012 recipients, 13 were fully funded and 12 were partially funded, said bank President Catherine J. Ferrari. "We try to do the best we can with what money we have to grant," she said. "It's a difficult decision because the board reviews every application very carefully."
The foundation received 42 applications for funding this year, including nine first-time applicants, Ferrari said. "People have become very aware of our foundation over the years, and that's without advertising," she said.
Award checks totalling $37,323 were presented to recipients at a ceremony at the bank Thursday afternoon. Last year, the foundation gave $43,500 to 45 organizations.
This year's awards spanned organizations as far south as Wheeling and Steubenville, to East Liverpool and Chester. The money will go toward programs that, among other things, give scholarships to high school and college students, make improvements to public spaces, preserve local history, support the arts and feed the hungry.
"Today is an historic day for our foundation," Ferrari said at the awards ceremony. "This foundation has indeed made a real impact and a difference in the lives it has touched."
Ferrari said most of the grants go to programs that meet people's physical needs. "A lot of requests for basic needs-food, clothing, shelter-seem to have increased in the last couple years," she said.
The foundation began 13 years ago when the bank's board converted a $1 million return on an investment into seed money for the foundation, Ferrari said.
This year's grant recipients are:
* American Defenders of the Bataan/Corregidor Museum (Wellsburg, W.Va.);
* Beaver Creek Wildlife Education Center (East Liverpool);
* Chester-Newell F.I.S.H. Foundation;
* Children's Dyslexia Center (Steubenville);
* Community Bread Basket Inc.;
* Dunbar Recreation Center (Weirton);
* Greater Weirton Senior Citizens' Center Inc.;
* Hancock, Brooke, Ohio Counties Victim Assistance Program;
* Hancock County Arts Council;
* Hancock County Senior Wellness Center;
* Hooverson Heights Primary School (Weirton);
* Housing Programs Limited (East Liverpool);
* The Juvenile Mediation Program Inc.;
* Lynn Murray Memorial Library (Chester);
* Museum of Ceramics Foundation (East Liverpool);
* Newell Community Improvement Coalition;
* Oak Glen Middle School;
* Rotary Club of Beaver;
* Team Mojo Foundation (East Liverpool);
* Tri-State Area Citizens' Scholarship Foundation (Dollars for Scholars);
* United Church Social Service Union Inc. (New Cumberland);
* Weir Middle School;
* Weirton Christian Center;
* Wellsburg Middle School; and
* Youth Services Systems Inc. (Wheeling).
The next round of grant applications must be submitted by Sept. 30, 2013. Awards will be announced in November 2013.

Whatever the case, I've decided that the only one true variable that you always have control of is that you know what makes you happy. For me, having religion and spirituality helps immensely with that because of the positivity radiated by most of Christian gospel that propels you towards having more things to be happy about. If you find something else that is satisfactory to yourself, so be it. I won't try to force my judgement or religion on you.
The other things - historical evidence, technical objective definitions, etc. are mainly things for which we grab in the dark. Why argue about those if you can never find concrete evidence or find a true objective definition? I like to participate in these discussions sometimes, but most of the time I lose sight of the point.

Samsung's Galaxy S 4G might not have the very latest version of Android or too much hardware differentiation from the original T-Mobile Vibrant, but hey, it brings a front-facing camera and HSPA+ connectivity, so of course it costs $200. T-Mobile will have disappointed many with its clarification that the Galaxy S 4G will cost a pair of Benjamins on contract, exactly as much as its Samsung-built predecessor did seven months ago, and not as the carrier had originally indicated, $150. Also similar is the fact that T-Mo is launching this phone with an Android build that's one iteration behind the cutting edge, meaning the Froyo update headaches of last autumn may return in the form of Gingerbread jitters this spring. All the same, if the Magenta team sees fit to chop the Galaxy S 4G's price the same way it's been doing with its other Android handsets, we could be in for a fine bargain in the near future.
[Thanks, Matt]

A judge has sentenced a prolific lawbreaker to 21 months' jail after he clocked up his 14th conviction for drink-driving and 13th conviction for driving while disqualified.
Greerton superannuitant Steven Lindsay Rennie, 65, was also indefinitely disqualified for a minimum of one year and one day when sentenced in Tauranga District Court yesterday.
Last month Rennie pleaded guilty to charges of driving with excess breath alcohol, driving while disqualified (3rd or subsequent offence) and giving false details to police.
Rennie was caught driving with a breath alcohol reading of 584 micrograms per litre of breath in Paeroa on November 27, 2011 after being stopped at a checkpoint. The adult legal limit is 400 mcg.
But Rennie gave the police officer a false name, date of birth and address.
When his true identity was established Rennie was sent a summons to court to face charges but he failed to do so. He was subsequently arrested and refused bail last month.
Rennie's lawyer Whare Hika urged Judge Peter Rollo to keep the jail sentence as short as possible, as his client was on a waiting list for surgery to his arm and nose. Mr Hika said his client was remorseful and accepted prison release conditions requiring him to undergo counselling.
Judge Rollo told Rennie his continued flouting of the law was serious. "While there was not driver's fault involved in these offences, your prior convictions history is significant and a serious aggravating factor."
Judge Rollo also noted that the pre-sentence report revealed Rennie had tried to minimise his offending during the "difficult and truncated" interview he had with the report writer.
The judge said Rennie had initially claimed he was unaware that he was still disqualified from his last two drink-driving convictions in 2009 for which he was sentenced 18 months' prison as well as being indefinitely disqualified.
Rennie had then later stated he thought he would "get away with it" - that is, lying to police.
Judge Rollo said: "Your attitude Mr Rennie to your legal and social responsibilities is appalling.
"I take the view that you are truly a recidivist drink-driver and driver while disqualified, and a prison sentence of 21 months is the appropriate outcome to meet the necessary sentencing principles of denunciation and deterrence."

JACKSON, MI – Another city construction project is coming down the pipeline, so to speak.
Jackson City Council recently voted unanimously to contract with Jackson-based Bailey Excavating to replace a section of water main pipeline in the city. The city will pay $136,000 for the project.
Set to begin Sept. 16 and end in mid-October, the project calls for the replacement of 440 feet of 12-inch pipeline under Wesley Street between Francis Street and Cooper Street.
"It's actually no longer a public street but the city is still responsible for the water main," Jackson Senior Civil Engineer Troy White said. "It's part of the Commonwealth parking lot, now."
The Commonwealth Commerce Center is located at 209 E. Washington Ave. and company officials will be working on fixing the parking lot this fall.
White said while the water main is under private property, it still distributes water through the city's system, connecting Francis and Cooper streets pipelines.
"Since they're going to be breaking up the parking lot, it seemed like a good idea to get in there and fix the water main when we could," White said. "That way we wouldn't have to break it up in the future."
Bailey Excavating was one of four companies that bid on the job. Bids ranged from $136,000-$158,000. City engineers estimated the project would cost about $138,000.

Do we live in a bootstrapping dog-eat-dog world where everyone is out for self ? Have we been so focused on Me, My, and I that the concepts of We, Us, and Team are distant memories? (I don't think so)
I believe that teamwork makes the dream work. My grandmother always says "everybody needs somebody sometimes." Living Life Abundantly is a team effort! We can all realize our dreams and goals at an accelerated rate by using a little teamwork.
We work in teams on our jobs. We work in groups in school to complete projects. In professional and educational settings we work with others to increase productivity to accomplish whatever the goal is quickly and efficiently.
Why not apply the same principle in our personal lives to achieve our dreams and goals?
How do you find a team? In your circle of family and friends identify five like minded goal oriented people. Express to each of them your desire to bring a group of like minded people together willing to help each other reach a goal. Not everyone will be interested but for those that are have a meeting of the minds to discuss goals, interests, strategies, team players and making the team official (who's on board). This is a networking opportunity that will enable each of you to identify ways in which you can support each other. Your team's objective is to achieve each team member's goal. Choose your team wisely team captain and get a good coach. Take your team just as seriously as you would a team at your job or in school. Be honest with each other. Meet and communicate regularly. Support and encourage each other. Hold each other accountable. Celebrate success.
The Law of Enrichment:
All lasting wealth comes from enriching others in some way. The more you can train yourself to contribute value to the lives of others, the more you will earn and the more certain it is that you will become wealthy.—Brian Tracy
Two are better than one:
Because they have a good reward for their labor.
For if they fall, one will lift up his companion.
But woe to him who is alone when he falls,
For he has no one to help him up.
Again, if two lie down together, they will keep warm; But how can one be warm alone?
Though one may be overpowered by another, two can withstand him. And a threefold cord is not quickly broken.—Ecclesiastes 4:9-12

IPCC Chair Highlights the State of the World 2009
15 January 2009: In the foreword to the Worldwatch Institute's State of the World report 2009, which focuses on climate change and is sub-titled "Into a Warming World," the Chair of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), Rajendra Pachauri, notes that the contents of the volume are based on the findings of the Panel's Fourth Assessment Report 2007.
Pachauri underlines that the State of the World 2009 brings out clearly the difference between inaction based on a business-as-usual approach and action to mitigate greenhouse gas emissions in order to avoid the worst impacts of climate change. In his view, the report's strongest message is that "if the world does not take action early and in adequate measure, the impacts of climate change could prove extremely harmful and overwhelm our capacity to adapt." Pachauri also highlights that the publication comes at a time when governments are negotiating a new agreement to be finalized in Copenhagen in December 2009 and that the report will influence negotiators to look beyond the narrow and short-term concerns.

For the third time in six days, a gunman walked into an area business late Friday morning, pointed the weapon at an employee and demanded money before fleeing with cash.
This time is was in the city at the Uni-Mart at 1944 W. Fourth Street, where a clerk and a manager were robbed at gunpoint just before noon, city police confirmed.
The man, wearing all black clothing, demanded cash from the two and then fled with money he had placed in a bag, police said. The bandit was white, medium build, weighing more than 200 pounds and about 6 feet tall, police said.
The robber was seen fleeing east after leaving the store. Police were checking to see if the store's video camera might offer any helpful clues that might lead them to a suspect.
Police believe it is very possible that the same man who committed Friday's holdup perpetrated the one late Wednesday morning in Old Lycoming Township at the Cigarette Outlet at 1930 Lycoming Creek Road.
"The two (robberies) certainly could be related. Both suspects have similar physical characteristics," township Police Chief William Solomon said Friday afternoon.
"We pursuing some leads," he added.
The first holdup of the week occurred at the Nittany Minit Mart, 1450 E. Third St., about 8 p.m. Sunday.
A man, described as white, 5 feet, 7 inches tall and wearing a black hooded sweatshirt, bolted from the business with an undisclosed amount of cash after holding up a female clerk.
No shots were fired and no injuries occurred in any of the robberies.

Emily Harper did not expect to be at a presidential inaugural when she arrived at Ohio University nearly four years ago.
At the time, the 2009 LaBrae High School grad only had a fledgling interest in politics.
Today, Harper, 22, and several Ohio University friends who, as young Democrats, worked hard on President Barack Obama's re-election campaign are experiencing their first inaugural.
Article Photos
President Barack Obama is officially sworn in by Chief Justice John Roberts, not pictured, in the Blue Room of the White House on Sunday in Washington as first lady Michelle Obama holds the Robinson Family Bible.
Photo provided
Emily Harper, a student at Ohio University and a graduate of LaBrae, shakes hands with Vice President Joe Biden.
"It (the campaign) was a lot of hard work," she said. "But it was totally worth it. It was rewarding to see people get so excited and wanting to volunteer."
Harper said she worked so hard on the campaign because she believes in the president's policies.
"He has done so much for students, like the doubling of Pell Grants and extending women's rights," she said. "He also is for marriage equality. While that is not something that will affect me personally, it will help people I know and love."
Although Harper majored in international business and marketing, she is hoping to use her experience as a young Democrat and become involved in public works.
"I fully expect to cry during the ceremony," she said. "I am so honored and privileged to be able to see this in person."
Harper is one of many Mahoning Valley natives making the trip to the nation's capital to see Obama take the oath of office. Though largely ceremonial - he and Vice President Joe Biden were officially sworn in on Sunday - attendance is expected at about 800,000.
Dave Green, president of United Auto Workers Local 1714 in Lordstown, says the ceremony will be a culmination of the work that was done to get Obama re-elected.
"We really worked hard over the last election cycle because he supported General Motors," Green said from Washington on Sunday. "He was there for us during our darkest days."
Green has taken his daughter with him to Washington.
"I'm here because I want to be part of history," he said. "Going forward, I want the president to continue supporting working people and give all of those wanting to work a chance to get good paying jobs."
Warren Councilwoman Helen Rucker has been to every inaugural since President Bill Clinton's first in 1993.
"I even went when the person I didn't support won as a form of protest," Rucker said on Sunday night.
The first Obama inaugural was different from others she attended because there was a sense of new hope and historical change that she did not experience in earlier ones.
"There definitely were more people," she said. "It was the first time that I saw so many poor people make it."
She believes that there only will only be half as many people attending this inaugural.
"People who come this time will be looking for the president to reaffirm what he promised to do in the first term," she said. "There is still a lot of work to do. Only this time, people know he can't do it alone, even with the power of the presidency. They know he has to find ways to work with Congress to get work done."
Gina Bianco of Girard is attending her first inaugural and also is visiting Washington, D.C., for the first time.
"I'm so blessed to have this opportunity," Bianco said. "I just hope the president in the second term keeps moving in the direction he has in the first four years."
Bianco attended the Ohio Ball on Saturday night.
"It was amazing," she said.
She toured the monuments on Sunday.
"They took my breath away," she said. "I had tears in my eyes. We missed seeing the president at the Martin Luther King Memorial by a half-hour."

A projected revenue shortfall of more than $200 billion in the state budget and a national crisis in the U.S. financial markets have combined to create a perfect storm for Gov. Deval L. Patrick, who is wisely moving to change the course to calmer waters.
In an effort to adapt to the rapidly changing climate, Patrick - who has been preparing since March for a slowdown in state revenue collection - announced on Thursday he will cut spending and implement a series of cost-savings reforms including the merger of the Massachusetts Turnpike Authority with other transportation agencies.
While spending cuts are always painful, the governor's proposals are sound and prudent - and desperately needed as the national credit crunch has begun to reach Massachusetts, affecting the abilities of businesses to expand and families to pay their bills.
Recognizing that the buck stops in his office, Patrick has ordered a 7 percent cut in his budget and has encouraged other constitutional officers such as the secretary of state, auditor and treasurer to follow his lead. In an encouraging sign of legislative cooperation, House Speaker Salvatore DiMasi and Senate President Therese Murray announced a 10 percent cut in their collective budgets. We hope others will scour their bottom lines and find ways to save money as the state seeks to save hundreds of millions.
Just as important as the proposed spending cuts are the governmental reforms Patrick is seeking. Changes in the operation of the Turnpike Authority, which is deeply in debt and operating at an unsustainable loss, are long overdue.
Other initiatives on the governor's agenda include: consolidating state agencies, reforming the state and MBTA pension systems and containing health costs. They are necessary reforms.
Patrick believes the long-term prospects for the Bay State remain strong "if we're wise today."
We do too. The governor's proposals will help us weather this fiscal crisis. Eventually the storm does pass, and then the job of repairing what has been lost must begin.

Faculty & Staff Directory
Professor Bierer joined the UW Speech and Hearing Sciences Department in the fall of 2005. She obtained her doctorate in Neuroscience at the University of Michigan (2001). During a post-doctoral fellowship at the University of California at San Francisco, she obtained a Masters of Science degree in Audiology from San Francisco State University (2003). Also during her time in the bay area, Professor Bierer, underwent clinical training at the Department of Otolaryngology at Stanford.
Professor Bierer's research interests involve cochlear implants, which are prostheses that enhance or restore hearing in severely impaired individuals. Cochlear implant patients typically perform well, but they show a wide range of speech perception abilities and most can not enjoy music. Her research addresses the possible causes of poor outcomes and explores new clinical techniques and signal processing methods that may improve the way cochlear implant patients hear.
