KABUL, Afghanistan -- An angry protest erupted outside a sprawling U.S.-run military installation Tuesday after base personnel allegedly improperly disposed of religious materials, including Muslim holy books.
Gen. John Allen, the U.S. Marine who commands Western forces in Afghanistan, apologized and promised that the incident at Bagram Air Field, north of Kabul, would be investigated.
Protests over desecration of the Quran have sparked serious violence in the past. One of the worst such incidents occurred last April, when a furious mob overran a United Nations headquarters in the city of Mazar-e-Sharif, killing four Nepalese guards and three foreign U.N. workers, after a fundamentalist preacher in Florida burned the holy book.
In Tuesday's protest, four people were injured when guards fired on the crowd, according to Afghan officials in Parwan, where the Bagram base is located. A spokesman for NATO's International Security Assistance Force declined to say whether Western troops were involved in any crowd-control actions during the demonstration.
Abdul Aziz, the Bagram district police chief, said the incident began before dawn when Afghans working as laborers inside the base found several books, including Qurans, being burned and brought them outside.
"This provoked the local people's emotions, and they started a protest," Aziz said.
It was not known whether the materials had been inadvertently placed in the base's trash collection. Most refuse is disposed of by burning.
Aziz said "hundreds" had taken part in the demonstration. The ISAF did not provide a crowd estimate.
The commanding general's statement, issued hours after the incident, was unusually rapid and uncommonly contrite.
Addressing the "noble people of Afghanistan," Allen said he had been given a report overnight indicating that Western military personnel at Bagram had "improperly disposed of a large number of Islamic religious materials," including Qurans.
"When we learned of these actions, we immediately intervened and stopped them," he said, adding that the recovered materials would be turned over to religious authorities. He thanked the local people who had brought the matter to light.
"We are thoroughly investigating the incident, and we are taking steps to ensure this does not ever happen again," Allen said. "I assure you ... I promise you ... this was NOT intentional in any way."

Fox Sports has been in talks with veteran TV host Regis Philbin to host a show for its planned Fox Sports 1 channel, according to several sources. Fox and Philbin have not agreed on a deal yet, but sources say talks are serious and an agreement could be close at hand.
Fox declined to comment on the rumors, but sources say Philbin would serve as the main host of a show that would look like a sports version of "The View," with Philbin serving in the Barbara Walters role as the part-time host. Philbin is a known sports fan, and sources said the show would be a sports show, as opposed to a hybrid entertainment-and-sports show.
Sources also said that Fox has been looking into having a Jay Mohr show on Fox Sports 1. Last month, Mohr launched "Jay Mohr Sports" on Fox Sports Radio. It is not clear whether Fox is considering simulcasting Mohr's radio show or having him host his own show.
Fox Sports still has not officially announced its plans for Fox Sports 1. Sources say Fox will rebrand its motorsports channel Speed as the multi-sport Fox Sports 1 this August. Around the same time, it will rebrand its action sports channel Fuel into the multi-sport Fox Sports 2, sources said.
This story first appeared in SportsBusiness Daily, a sister publication of Sporting News.

Welcome to the Ribs of Beef
01603 619517
Of all the pubs, public houses, bars and inns in Norwich, which is the fairest of them all? Well, you could start with The Ribs of Beef dubbed 'the City's favourite local'. This friendly pub, complete with one of the city's traditional pub food menus, offers cask ale, pub food, riverside jetty and use of their free downstairs meeting room.
Whether you're looking for somewhere to eat a nice pub lunch, or a warm and welcoming environment to enjoy the range of cask ales, farm cider, draught lagers, continental bottled beers, wines or champagnes, the Ribs of Beef is one of the best public houses, bars and inns in Norwich.
Roger and Anthea Cawdron have owned this historic pub on the banks of the River Wensum for over 30 years, and their warm and welcoming approach has built up a strong following and a great reputation in Norwich.
On a sunny summer's day, there is no better place to sit in Norwich, than on the riverside terrace - one of Norwich's "hidden gems" or the triangle garden. Catching the afternoon sun, this is the ideal place to enjoy a cooling drink or read the Daily papers.
In the winter, the main bar is warm and welcoming and is even open on Christmas Day so that you can enjoy the day in good cheer.
The pub caters for all ages - from the youngest, to customers who have been regulars for 40 years.

The staff will be happy to let you have a "taster", to help you select the perfect ale for you or try something new.
All their pub food is prepared on the premises, meaning that it really is among the best pub food restaurants around - and so conveniently placed for Tombland and the centre of Norwich, it's a great place to stop by for brunch, lunch or drinks overlooking the river.

Breakfast baps are served from 11am and the Lunchtime menu is available 12noon to 2.30pm weekdays and 11am to 5pm at weekends.

Answering the Hard Questions About Forgiveness (Booklet)
Many, if not most, of the personal problems Christians seek counseling for eventually boil down to one issue: forgiveness. If you want healthy relationships — and healthy resolution to problems that threaten your relationships — don't underestimate the power of forgiveness. But knowing how to apply general biblical principles of forgiveness to specific situations isn't always easy. Difficult questions are common: - How can I forgive when there's a pattern of repeat offenses?- What do I do if I think a person's "repentance" is a sham? - Should a person confess the sin of infidelity to his or her spouse — even if confessing may cause more pain than keeping silent would?- Is the forgiver ever obligated to also forget an offense? - What if I can't forgive myself? In Answering Hard Questions About Forgiveness, John MacArthur addresses some of the hardest questions about forgiveness that have come his way in more than three decades of ministry. The answers will lead you to a greater understanding of forgiveness — and a greater measure of health in your relationships.

As far as bareback bronc riding goes, Jeremy Seay saved the best for last.
The Dalhart cowboy had a difficult time with his horse, but once he finally got to ride him, Seay turned in a score of 76 to win the title on the final night of the 60th Annual Will Rogers Range Riders Rodeo.
The 24-year-old Seay had his horse flip on him when he got into the chute. Luckily, Seay was not injured, but his ride got delayed until all the other riders were finished. When it was finally time to ride, Seay, with the crowd cheering him on, put on a good show, overtaking Jim Richards of Dublin, who scored a 72.
It ended a good week for Seay, who also placed at the Erick, Okla. rodeo.
"I really didn't ride that good in Clayton (New Mexico) or Erick," said Seay. "I didn't score in the 70s. Tonight the horse turned upside down on me. It's was kind of spooky, but that's part of the sport. The second time I just wanted to get on him and get my chance."
For another bareback bronc rider, it was a chance to get back into action. Junior Salinas of Dumas was making his first saddle bronc riding appearance in almost a year. Although he was thrown, he said he was glad to be back.
"The last time I rode was at the Texas Cowboy Rodeo Association Finals (in November)," said the 33-years-old Salinas. "I've just been working and really haven't had time to rodeo. I was a little nervous, but it was good to be back. I had a strong horse, Terry (Terry Walls Rodeo Company) always has some strong horses, though."
Also in Saturday's competition, Lori Wall of Bellville overtook Randus London of Freedom, Okla., in barrel racing. London had recorded a time of 16.777 seconds Thursday. Wall, who finished third at the rodeo last year, was timed in 16.622. London is a three-time Tri-State Rodeo all-around champion.
In saddle bronc competition, Canyon's Mark Eakin failed to defend the title he won last year. His horse, Short Fuse, made short work of Eakin, bucking him.
"That's just part of it," said Eakin. "That was just a real good horse. But I"ll be at the finals (TTCRA).
There was a three-way time in the saddle bronc competition. Bobby King of Reagan County, Bill Hebert of Marble Falls and Joel Picou of Beaumont all scored 75s.
Canyon's Angel Christian rode away with the breakaway roping title via her time of 3.0 she recorded on Thursday. Saturday's best time was a 4.3 by Shawna Mitchell of Canyon and Cashley Hughes of Model, Colo.
Hillsboro's Jim Bob Wallace in the calf roping (9.0).
Katrena Kelly was crowned rodeo queen.

There are even more things in the LG G2 that can spur interest. For example, how about those physical keys hiding in the rear? Now, that's what we'd call a differentiator! Of course, whether or not those keys, or the future-proof hardware are going to make such a great difference in real-life usage remains to be seen, but one thing is certain - we are excited enough to be looking forward to actually seeing if those things make a difference.
Anyway, enough small talk. We've gathered here today for an overview of all the content that a real LG G2 enthusiast might ever need. Yep, it's right here, below these lines of text. Just browse through the titles and read the ones that grab your attention!

FLINT, Michigan — If it weren't for Reading, Pa., Flint would top the nation's list of cities with the largest share of residents living in poverty, according to a story in The New York Times.
The article relates the experiences of Reading residents who are struggling to make a decent living for their families, not unlike many residents in Flint.
"These are common stories in Reading, a struggling city of 88,000 that has earned the unwelcome distinction of having the largest share of its residents living in poverty, barely edging out Flint, Mich., according to new Census Bureau data. The count includes only cities with populations of 65,000 or more, and has a margin of error that makes it difficult to declare a winner — or, perhaps more to the point, a loser."According to the article, Camden, N.J., and Brownsville, Tex., are also on the list.

COFFEE-RUBBED STEAK TACOS WITH PICKLED RED ONIONS via My Daily Morsel
"Let me ask you something, coffee lovers of the universe. When you first tried coffee, did it taste like a piece of leather that had been soaked in vinegar and then left outside at the height of a Texas summer for two weeks? Because that's the initial image that came to mind when I tried coffee for the first time. I keep coming back to it, thinking I will finally like the taste of coffee because I'm, you know, super mature and all. Right… It still tastes like a pickled and sun-dried piece of leather to me. I suppose it's an acquired taste, yes? I so wish that coffee tasted as good as it smells. It's like the exact opposite of stinky cheese. I very much wish that Gruyere smelled the way that it tastes. But I have found the perfect way to get my coffee fix, and surprisingly enough, it does not include coffee cake. It does, however, involve tacos. I make a spicy and smoky chile-coffee rub that I spread over New York strip steaks. I turn that steak into savory tacos that I top with some pickled red onions, crumbled cotija cheese, and a squeeze of fresh lime juice."
2 red onions, thinly sliced
1 cup apple cider vinegar
1 cup water
2 tablespoons granulated sugar
2 tablespoons + 2 teaspoons kosher salt
1/4 cup packed brown sugar
2 tablespoons chili powder
2 teaspoons ground coffee
1 1/2 teaspoon paprika
1 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 (1 pound) New York strip steaks
12 corn tortillas
1/2 cup crumbled cotija cheese
2 limes, quartered
1. Place the red onions in a small bowl. Combine the vinegar, water, sugar, and 2 tablespoons of salt in a small saucepan and bring to a boil. Pour the liquid over the onions and let sit at room temperature for 30 to 45 minutes, until the onions turn bright pink in color.
2. Preheat the oven to 400°F. Stir together the brown sugar, chili powder, coffee, paprika, remaining 2 teaspoons of salt, and the black pepper in a small bowl to combine. Meanwhile, heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Rub the coffee mixture all over the steaks, covering completely. Sear the steaks for about 2 minutes per side, until a golden brown crust forms. Transfer to the oven and cook for 5 to 7 minutes, until the meat registers 125°F on a meat thermometer. Transfer the steaks to a cutting board and let rest for 10 minutes.
3. Slice the steak against the grain into thin slices. Arrange the steaks in the corn tortillas. Top each with some of the pickled red onions, cotija cheese, and a squeeze of lime juice.

The big story in the news these days is President Bush's attempt to reform our nation's Social Security program. But is it really broken? You hear the horror stories about how it'll be bankrupt in 20xx (insert years here) but will it really be?
According to government's Social Security website quick calculator [3], for an individual born in 1980 who makes $40,000 this year who plans to retire in 2065, you will receive $1,239.00 in 2005 dollars each month starting in 2047 (67 years old). The $1,239.00 is projected to actually be $5,254.00 in 2042 dollars given inflation (CPI, etc). That assumes an orderly 3.75% raise each year until 2045. This is all just for retirement and not for disability or survivor benefits.
That sounds great right? Let's get a second opinion…
Let's use the The Heritage Foundation's calculator [4] which will give us a comparison between Social Security's piddly return and President Bush's alternative. Of course, this calculator works a little differently, it asks only for your average annual salary (into which we will enter approximately $70,477 (average salary if you were paid $40,000 as a 24 year old and worked until 65 with annual raises of 3.75%, the same assumptions as the government site).
The Heritage Foundation says you will have paid $596,627.00 into Social Security your entire lifetime and you will be paid $3,203 a month in 2045 dollars with a rate of return at about 0.89%. If you were given the option of putting that money in a Personal Retirement Account and invested in conservative investments that netted you a mere 4.89% (the S&P has risen approximately 11% annually since forever and is the benchmark against which lots of funds are judged), you would instead be paid $13,246 a month, $10,044 difference. Even if you use the Social Security results as truth and Heritage as politically spun data, you're still talking nearly an $8,000 difference in your monthly return.
What does this mean? This means that I don't care if Social Security is broken or not. I don't care if it goes bankrupt or not. All I know is that according to The Heritage Foundation I'm getting a 0.89% return on my Social Security money… inflation would be kicking my ass. Even if I took the government's numbers, inflation would still be kicking my ass. A Treasury bond (SS funds are typically put in a special type of government bond) would be better than Social Security because I get that fatter percentage unless the United States government collapsed. If the US government collapsed, my social security would be the least of my problems.
Verdict: I don't care if Social Security will be bankrupt, all I know is that even if it were 100% healthy, the return is weak. Forget politics, Democrat vs. Republican vs. Nader's bank account, just straight dollars and cents: Social Security is a ripoff because I get a piddly return (not even guaranteed because SS isn't guaranteed) and I'm forced to pay into the system.

HUNTINGDON - During National Nutrition Month and beyond, the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics (formerly the American Dietetic Association) encourages everyone to include healthy foods from all food groups in their diet through this year's theme: "Get Your Plate in Shape."
In recognition of National Nutrition Month, J.C. Blair's registered dietitians are hosting several events to focus attention on the importance of making informed food choices and developing sound eating and physical activity habits.
n The community is invited to a "Get Your Plate in Shape" Lunch n' Learn Program at noon March 20 in the J.C. Blair Education Center. Participants will enjoy a delicious and healthy lunch while talking to J.C. Blair's registered dietitians about healthy food choices. Cost for lunch and program is $5. Reservations are requested by March 13 by calling 643-8833.
n Join the J.C. Blair registered dietitians for a grocery store tour on at 10 a.m. March 27 at Weis Markets, Huntingdon. The dietitians will guide participants through the store teaching shopping strategies, pointing out healthy food items, introducing some new or unfamiliar items and answering questions about puzzling foods (butter vs margarine, etc.). To register for the tour, call 643-8833.
"Vegetables, fruits, whole grains, lean proteins and low-fat dairy products contain the nutrients we need to maintain healthy lifestyles," said registered dietitian and academy spokeswoman Andrea Giancoli. "Make sure your eating plan includes foods from all the food groups and in appropriate portions. USDA's MyPlate is a great tool to guide and help us be mindful of the foods that make up our balanced eating plan."
Giancoli offers the following recommendations to "Get Your Plate in Shape":
Make half your plate fruits and vegetables.
n Eat a variety of vegetables, especially dark-green, red and orange varieties, as well as beans and peas.
n When buying canned vegetables, choose "reduced sodium" or "no salt added" whenever possible. Rinsing whole varieties like beans, corn and peas can also reduce sodium levels.
n Dried and frozen fruits and those canned in water or their own juice are good options when fresh varieties are not available.
n Make sure every meal and snack has at least one fruit or vegetable or both.
Make at least half your grains whole.
n Choose brown rice, barley and oats and other whole grains for your sides and ingredients.
n Switch to 100-percent whole-grain breads, cereals and crackers.
n Check the ingredients list on food packages to find foods that are made with whole grains.
Switch to fat-free or low-fat milk.
n Fat-free and low-fat milk have the same amount of calcium and other essential nutrients as whole milk, but less fat and fewer calories.
n If you are lactose intolerant, try lactose-free milk or a calcium-fortified soy beverage.
Vary your protein choices
n Eat a variety of foods each week from the protein food group like seafood, nuts and beans, as well as lean meat, poultry and eggs.
n Eat more plant-based proteins such as nuts, beans, whole grains and whole soy foods like tofu and edamame.
n At least twice a week, make fish and seafood the protein on your plate.
n Keep meat and poultry portions lean and limit to three ounces per meal.
Cut back on sodium and empty calories from solid fats and added sugars
n Drink water instead of sugary drinks like regular sodas, fruit-flavored drinks and sweetened teas and coffees. Choose 100-percent fruit juice.
n Compare sodium in foods and choose those with the least amount listed on the Nutrition Facts Panel.
n Season foods with spices or herbs instead of salt.
n Select lean cuts of meat or poultry and fat-free or low-fat dairy products.
n Use heart-healthy oils like olive, canola and sunflower oil in place of butter or shortening when cooking.
Giancoli recommends cooking more often at home, where you are in control of what is in your food. "And don't forget that exercise and healthful eating are crucial to maintaining a healthy lifestyle," Giancoli said. "Choose activities you enjoy like going for a walk with your family, joining a sports team, dancing or playing with your children. If you don't have a full 30 minutes, carve out 10 minutes three times a day. Every bit adds up and health benefits increase the more active you are."
As part of National Nutrition Month, the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics' National Nutrition Month website (www.eatright.org/nnm) includes helpful tips, recipes, fun games, promotional tools and nutrition education resources, all designed to spread the message of good nutrition around the "Get Your Plate in Shape" theme.
For those unable to attend any of these events, or those with more individualized questions, nutrition counseling is available at J.C. Blair. J.C. Blair's dietitians do an in-depth evaluation of each client's nutritional needs. Nutrition counseling sessions may be covered by insurance. For more information or to make an appointment, call J.C. Blair's registered dietitians: Katy Petrosky or Caitlin Quinn at 643-7054.

Although the subjects of a missing person's report, Mindy McCready insists that she and her 5-year-old son Zander are safe.
"I am working with lawyers to try to get all this straightened out," she tells Access Hollywood. "I did not steal my child, as it would be impossible for me to kidnap what already belongs to me! There never was any missing persons report and never an Amber Alert."
Police say that McCready, 36, and her son disappeared after she picked him up from her father's house in Cape Coral, Fla., on Tuesday. The troubled country singer does not have custody of the child – her parents do – but she does have visitation privileges.
A judge has given McCready until Thursday night to return the child.

Like I said three weeks before: It was a fantastic stay again. We will come back next year for the Reds in the Champions League :-)
Really nice house not so far away from Liverpool centre and from the airport. Well equipped with all you need for a couple of days stay.
We had a wonderful weekend in Liverpool and we'd love to come back.
It was a fantastic stay. Everything was on top level. We will come back in May, so that's everything you need to know about the apartment.
Had a really lovely stay . It really felt like home . Sonya and the property were perfect. We will definitely be back. :)
Thank you
We had a brilliant stay at Sonya's house. There was plenty of room for 5 of us, and although fairly sparsely furnished it was comfortable. Nice patio garden at the back where we ate our lunch. Sonya was very friendly and kind. It's right on the bus route into town as well, and a short walk from a big Aldi. I'd definitely recommend it as a great value base for a trip to Liverpool.
Fantastic house / apartment, clean and inviting. We (three Danish guests) can recommend this apartment. The host, Sonya, is friendly and welcoming.
From the apartment to Liverpool city center is about 30 minutes by bus.
We had a lovely week (week 20, 2015) in Liverpool.
We've had a wonderful stay at Sonya's house in Liverpool. We did not meet Sonya but she was great to us. Brought the key to the house and left us towels.There's a great connection from the house to the city centre by public transport: the busstop is just arround the corner. The house is very spacious and clean. The only thing is the kitchen equipment. The pans are a little bit small for our company of five.
The house was very nicely done up, fresh and clean with plenty of room for our family. It is situated in a very quiet close and there are big supermarkets nearby so very convenient. One word of warning - there wasn't quite enough kitchen equipment for our party of five. All in all we had a great weekend seeing the city and visiting Anfield - and Liverpool won 4-0!

Ruffled Scrap Fabric Towel
We are adding the craft to your Craft Projects.
The project was added to your Craft Projects.
Click here to view your Craft Projects.
Find an old, tattered towel or purchase one at the dollar store and create quick, easy scrap fabric crafts that will last a lifetime. This Ruffled Scrap Fabric Towel can easily complement anyone's kitchen decor and is so easy to make.
- Kitchen towel
- Fabric scrap
- Measuring tape
- Scissors
- Straight pins
- Sewing machine
- Iron
- Crochet thread
- 1-inch wide bias tape
- Rickrack
Measure the width of your kitchen towel. Cut a strip of fabric 5 inches wide by a length one and a half times the width of the towel.
Fold the strip in half with the right sides together and the long edges matching. Pin the short ends. Sew the short ends using a 1/4-inch seam allowance. Do not stitch the long edge. Turn the strip right side out and press.
Place the long open edge of the strip under your presser foot at the end of the strip. Knot the end of crochet thread. Place the crochet thread under the presser foot with the knot behind the foot. Set your machine to a wide, long zigzag stitch. Sew the length of the edge, zigzagging over the thread. The zigzag stitch will create a casing over the crochet thread. Cut the thread at the end of the strip and tie into a knot.
Pull the crochet thread to gather the strip until its measurement is the same as the width of the towel. Determine which side of the ruffle will be the back and lay it on your work surface with the back facing up. Cut 1-inch wide bias tape 2 inches longer than the width of the towel. Place the tape on the gathered edge of the ruffle with the wrong side facing up. Center the tape on the edge with an equal amount extending from each end of the ruffle. Pin the tape to the gathered edge of the ruffle. Sew the pinned edge using a 1/4-inch seam allowance.
Fold the tape to the front of the ruffle and press. Fold the excess on the ends to the back and press. Pin the tape to the ruffle. Top stitch the pinned edge.
Lay the towel on your work surface. Place the ruffle on the towel with the tape edge approximately 1-1/2 inches above the bottom edge of the towel. Pin the tape edge to the towel. Top stitch the pinned edge as close to the top edge as possible.
Cut rickrack 1 inch longer than the width of the towel. Position the rickrack over the top edge of the bias tape. Center the rickrack with an even amount extending from each end of the ruffle. Fold the ends to the back of the towel and pin. Top stitch down the center of the rickrack to attach.

I think an applique would be perfect for this project. I do not believe the ruffle is big enough to add an applique, but the towel is certainly big enough and I think that would be a great work surface for your daughter to learn on. Depending on the type of towel you get, it can hide a multitude of creative differences. With that said, if you wanted to do an applique on the ruffle, just extend the width of the ruffle to come down more. I would not suggest you start your daughter out with a tiny applique until she is more confident with her new skill.

The use of the crochet thread is brilliant. I never thought of that before. I also think that these will make a great practice craft for my daughter to learn how to make ruffles on without worrying about ruining a bigger project. Has anybody tried making an applique out of the fabric to use on the towel? I thought that might be a fun little extra touch..

In the 1980s and 1990s he won several industry acting awards before retiring to a career in editing. He is a member of both the AVN and XRCO Halls of Fame, is a Legend of Erotica, and has his name on the Hustler Walk of Fame.[1] Among his pseudonyms are Eric Cowards, Erik Edwards, Rob Emmett, Rob Everett, Rob Evert or Eric Roberts.

Getting Through the First Week
Getting Through the First Week
For most people, the first week of quitting is the most difficult time. This is a time when getting over both the psychological dependency on cigarettes and physical effects of nicotine withdrawal can feel overwhelming. You might feel anxious, depressed, impatient, tired, or even hostile. During this critical time, it may be very tempting to go back to old behaviors and use smoking to deal with these feelings.
Don't worry, this stage in the process and the feelings you may have are only temporary. Although you may have cravings to smoke weeks or even months after quitting, as more time goes by, these urges will diminish in strength and frequency. Nicotine withdrawal symptoms are more short-lived, and should only last a few days (or a couple weeks) at most. When you put that into perspective with being smoke-free for the rest of your life, you know you can do it!
The symptoms you experience in the first week will vary from one person to another, depending on how much nicotine your body is used to, and how much you smoked. Keep the tips below in mind to help you get through that important first week and set yourself up for success:
- Remember that urges to smoke will come and go. Try waiting it out for a few minutes and occupying your mind with something else. Use the list of 101 Things to Do Besides Smoking to get ideas for how to keep busy.
- Remind yourself every day of why you are quitting. Your motivations for quitting can powerful reminders for when you're in the worst parts of the quitting process. This is when you need them most to keep you on tract. Revisit your motivations from time to time – see how you answered your questions to think about.
- Write down your rationalizations. One way to help overcome cravings is to write down any rationalizations you may have for having a cigarette. Rationalizing is trying to find a good reason to do something you know is wrong. For example, "I'll just have one cigarette today to get through this tough time," or "you've got to die of something, might as well smoke." If you write down rationalizations as they come to mind, it will help you to see them for what they are: traps to get you back into your smoking habit.
- Drink plenty of water. Water cleanses and purifies your system while also giving you something to do with your hands. When you're fully hydrated, your urge to eat is reduced as you're stomach is full with liquids. This is a great tip if you're concerned about weight gain. You can also drink herbal teas or fruit juices.
- Take your mind off of a problem and come back to it later. With the symptoms of withdrawal at their height, you may feel that the world is against you. Remember that these feelings are only temporary. It may be tempting to think that it was better when you smoked because you didn't feel this way. The truth is, these feelings will go away and once you're past nicotine withdrawal, you are ready to feel even better than you ever did when you smoked.
- Change everything! In many ways the habitual part of smoking cigarettes can be tied into your daily routines – the first cigarette with coffee in the morning, the drive to work, the smoke breaks, the after dinner cigarette. Think of ways to change everything so you can break free of the habit aspect of smoking. This is just a short-term adjustment. Once cigarettes are no longer a part of your life, you'll go back to having different routines that you enjoy without smoking.
- Don't be afraid to ask for help. Your friends and loved ones want to support you any way they can. Your doctor can also be a great asset to you in leaving cigarettes behind, and can direct you toward other resources for help.
Once you've gotten through the first week, you've passed a big milestone in the quitting process. While you may still find yourself dealing with urges and temptations to smoke, you will have the experience and success of your fist week behind you. In the weeks that follow, stay focused and keep moving toward your goal!
Learn how to cope with triggers.
Your First Week Off Smokeless Tobacco
When you quit smokeless tobacco, your withdrawal symptoms will be strongest during the first week. After two weeks of not using smokeless tobacco, your body will be rid of the addicting nicotine and the worst part will be over. Soon, you will feel better than you ever did when you dipped or chewed. But in the meantime, know the side effects you will experience when quitting so you can better deal with them:
- Craving smokeless tobacco — Since nicotine is addictive, you'll have cravings for smokeless tobacco. Try waiting it out. Each urge to use will usually last only three to five minutes. Deep breathing and exercise help you feel better right away.
- Feeling irritable, tense, restless or edgy — You're going through nicotine withdrawal. Try some form of exercise. Ask others to be patient.
- Feeling hungry or having a desire for sweets — People do sometimes experience weight gain when they stop using tobacco. If you get hungry, drink fruit juices or eat a low calorie snack. Drink a lot of water.
- Constipation/irregularity — Add fiber to your diet, like whole grain breads and cereals, fresh fruits and vegetables.
Smoking Fact
Smokeless tobacco is a known cause of mouth cancer, pancreatic cancer, leukoplakia (white sores in the mouth that can lead to cancer), receding gums and bone loss around the roots of the teeth.

Join the conversation on reimagining Africa's future now #WEFAFRICA
Answer today's questions, and ask tomorrow's with KPMG's revamped Thought Leadership App.
With a dedicated team of 202 partners and 2,745 practitioners globally, KPMG's Healthcare Practice has the global expertise and local knowledge to provide Africa's healthcare sector with forward thinking services.
KPMG's Technology, Media & Telecommunications team assists our firms' clients to manage a range of key issues across these sectors and the continent.
Join us for a cyber lunch every 2nd Thursday from 14:00 to 15:00 on LinkedIn
Keep up to date with the latest African country reports, fiscal guides and country profiles.
Africa's key oil producing countries are expected to continue to list amongst those countries expanding the fastest on the continent.
Strong adjacent industry competition from over-the-top brands, device companies and social media has demonstrated adequate signals to limit telecom operators' role in the entire sector. Revenue growth from voice-based services is tapering down, with more and more customers demanding data services. Margins are under threat.
While in most African states voice is, and will continue to be, the dominant business for telecom service providers, average revenue per user (ARPU) is declining because of these challenges and enhanced competition.
KPMG has built a significant practice in the telecoms industry in Africa. Its Africa Telecom Group (ATG) is a joint venture between key KPMG member firms from Africa, Europe, the Middle East and India. Each brings specific knowledge and expertise in the telecommunications industry to the table, creating a centre of excellence that can help clients succeed in Africa.
In response to the sector's challenges, KPMG believes customer focus is essential. "Increasingly, global organisations from services sectors such as telecoms are incorporating customer-centricity in their core business strategy," says Johan Smith, Director and Head of KPMG ATG.
It is imperative for telecom operators in Africa, and elsewhere, to focus on the customer to sustain and grow business. They also need to leverage innovation, and introduce new products and value-added services to manage the ARPU decline and retain a prominent position in the value-chain.
During the 4th Annual Customer Retention and Profitability Summit held on July 3 - 4 in Johannesburg, KPMG experts presented their thoughts on customer-centricity, innovation and enhancing profitability.
A panel discussion with African telecom service providers, led by Jaideep Ghosh, Partner in Business Effectiveness & Strategy, KPMG in India, focused on innovation and value-added services to enhance ARPUs. The panellists agreed that value-added services are now practically part of the core proposition. Further discussion led to an agreement that telecom operators need to collaborate significantly more with ecosystem players over and above usage-based and bolt-on value-added services.
The panel also recognised the impact of social media and over-the-top contenders, and the need for telecom operators to innovate continuously to retain value. Ghosh emphasises, "Innovation needs to be institutionalised in the telecom service provider's DNA, and has to be centred on the customer, taking into account the importance of social media.
Joaquim Ribeiro, Senior Manager in Management Consulting, KPMG in Portugal, also presented at the conference. He focused on the cost side of the profitability equation, saying, "I think we should discuss the philosophy of improved customer service but not at any cost. Cost to serve has been increasing constantly with no direct link to increasing ARPU." The presentation sparked an interesting debate about how best to serve and retain customers while controlling the cost at a time when the cost of capital is high and shareholders are increasingly worried about the earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation (EBITDA) margin.
KPMG has been very active in the operating expense (OPEX) and capital expenditure (CAPEX) optimisation space without losing focus on customer-centricity and core strategy.
Johan Smith summarises, "Customer-centricity is no longer a mere buzzword in the telecoms industry. It has become a business necessity to stay ahead of competition."

Wendy Wiedenmeyer, the new executive secretary for the city manager, was introduced at last week's City Council meeting. Wiedenmeyer comes from Seattle Pacific University where she worked in the University's advancement department managing alumni affairs, donations, and customers of the University.
Wiedenmeyer is originally from Montana. "After I graduated from Montana State University, I traveled in Communist countries and worked in refugee camps in Thailand and Hong Kong. These experiences made me appreciate our government here, and I've been an active participant in and proponent of the process since that time," Wiedenmeyer said.
Currently she lives in Magnolia, but plans to move to Woodinville soon. "We are very pleased to have her on board," City Manager Joe Meneghini said.
The executive secretary is a new position at the city. Wiedenmeyer will serve in the executive department, in a position that has been "long overdue," according to Meneghini.
Wiedenmeyer will be doing research analysis, writing and composing reports and publishing the results, and also will also be assisting the police department, according to Meneghini. Other duties will include acting as liaison between the city and outside public, answering city and business questions.

I got these for my daughter and let me just say you can't go wrong with Hestra. I have been using Hestra's for almost two decades and still have my very first pair. They are awesome quality and durable gloves worth every penny. My daughter was complaining of cold hands after two or three runs on cooler days and that is just too soon for all the effort it takes to get the little guys going. Just went up last weekend on a below freezing day with wind chill as a factor and no complaint about cold hands all day.....Thanks Hestra! Oh, there is a printable size chart to lay your hand on to establish proper sizing, I ordered kind of big as they are not cheap when they are growing so fast. You want them to like skiing not hate it ......so good equipment pays off!

Rescued polar bear cub arrives at Buffalo zoo
BUFFALO, N.Y. -- A polar bear cub that was orphaned and rescued by a hunter in Alaska in March has arrived in Buffalo, where he will have a playmate at the city's zoo.
Kali, accompanied by a group from the Alaska Zoo, arrived at the Buffalo airport shortly before 5:30 a.m. Wednesday on a UPS flight.
Buffalo Zoo President Donna Fernandes was on hand to greet them.
In time, Kali will be introduced to the zoo's polar bear cub, Luna, a visitor favorite.
The Buffalo Zoo is in the final stages of fundraising for a new $18 million polar bear exhibit.
Kali is expected to stay in Buffalo for about six months.

Just because Shanny was the last piece, doesn't mean he was the most important. He was a great addition, no doubt, but he should never have his jersey hung in the rafters.
Agreed, and the Pistons aren't going to retire Rasheed Wallace's jersey any time soon either, and they wouldn't have won in 2004 without him.
Also, regarding all the numbers we want to retire.. don't forget you can only retire the jerseys for the top 99 players before they have to start wearing Roman numerals..

The Fire This Time: Young Activists and the New Feminismby Vivien Labaton Dawn Lundy Martin
Young feminists today are becoming activists on behalf of many causes beyond the classic--and indispensable--feminist ones of reproductive rights and equal pay for equal work. InThe Fire This Time, Dawn Martin, one of four founders of The Third Wave Foundation--a multiracial, multi-issue, and multicultural activist organization--and Vivien Labaton, its first executive director, offer an exciting cross section of feminist voices that express new directions in activism, identity, and thought. Ayana Bird dissects the role of black women in hip-hop; Joshua Breitbart and Ana Noguiera demonstrate how Indimedia can break the hold of the corporate media over the news; and Jennifer Bleyer reviews the exhilarating power unleashed by the GirlZine movement. Anna Kirkland's analysis of transsexual and transgendered people and the law is deeply thoughtful, and Shireen Lee's piece on women, technology, and feminism envisions empowering prospects for women. . Ranging from media and culture to politics and globalization,The Fire This Timeis a call to new frontiers of activism, and helps reinvent feminism for a new generation. From the Trade Paperback edition.
