• Using the fluorescent indicator Fura 2, we measured the free intracellular calcium ion concentration in blood platelets of patients with untreated mania, bipolar depression, and unipolar depression; patients who had recovered from bipolar depression or mania; and age- and sex-matched controls. The baseline intracellular calcium ion concentration was significantly increased in platelets from patients with mania compared with controls. The free intracellular calcium ion concentration after stimulation with platelet-activating factor and thrombin was significantly higher in platelets of manic and bipolar depressed patients than in all other groups. The degree to which intracellular calcium ion concentration increased over baseline after stimulation was significantly lower in unipolar than in bipolar patients. These findings suggest that platelets of manic and depressed bipolar patients have a similar enhancement of intracellular calcium ion activity that is distinctly different from the decreased ability of platelets of unipolar patients to mobilize intracellular calcium in response to stimulation.

COLUMBUS, Ohio -- The Big Ten's expansion, with Maryland coming aboard Monday and Rutgers reportedly making it official Tuesday, will bring the conference television viewers, money and a strengthened recruiting base in the Northeast.
Ohio State already has a lot of people watching, plenty of cash and, with coaches Urban Meyer and Thad Matta, the ability to recruit almost anywhere. So what's in it for the Buckeyes?
"Sometimes you just can't look at yourself just locally and be selfish that way. We are part of a bigger family and that's the Big Ten conference, so what is good for the Big Ten?" OSU athletic director Gene Smith said. "When we talked about Maryland, we looked at the big picture, we didn't isolate ourselves to our own locale. What's good for this conference? How can we move this conference forward?
"I think for Ohio State, it strengthens the conference and it strengthens the whole and it makes us better and it rises all ships."
Maryland will join the conference on July 1, 2014 and start play with the 2014 football season, when Ohio State is scheduled to open against Navy in Baltimore. The league will discuss moving to nine conference football games instead of eight, and commissioner Jim Delany said the league could add conference games in basketball as well.
Smith broached the idea of basketball divisions, which would see each team play twice against its six division foes and once against the seven teams in the other division. That would create 19 conference games, while the Big Ten currently plays 18.
Ohio State will be giving up some tradition, for sure. But if the conference can find new areas to mine football talent, that could strengthen the overall product, which would help Ohio State when decisions are made in the future about which teams belong in the football postseason.
While a report from ESPN said Maryland and Rutgers will join Ohio State in the Leaders Division in football, with Illinois moving to the Legends Division, that may be premature. Smith said divisions won't be discussed until January, and there are indications that Ohio State may fight to avoid a setup that would include Wisconsin and then the two new teams, Indiana, Purdue and a weakened Penn State on what might be a rather drab schedule each year.
Smith said he will put a hold on any more additions to his recent aggressive nonconference football scheduling until the divisions get worked out.
This wasn't about football success, though. This was about money.
"You can't skirt the fact that financially it assists us," Smith said.
The AD said that new cash flow should be directed back at the university. Ohio State is a rarity, a healthy, self-sufficient athletic department, so Smith said he'd like to help the university as a whole by, for instance, providing money for more scholarships, not just athletic scholarships.
Realignment at a glance
- Big Ten: The 117-year-old conference adds members for the second time in the past three years, following the addition of Nebraska, which joined in 2010. Maryland and Rutgers would push Big Ten membership to 14 schools and extend the league's reach east and south.
- Atlantic Coast: Loses a charter member in Maryland. The ACC will have 14 schools next year, with Syracuse and Pittsburgh joining. Notre Dame is expected to join as soon as 2015, but not for football. The ACC will need to replace Maryland. Connecticut and Louisville from the Big East are likely candidates.
- Big East: Loses one of its original football members in Rutgers at a crucial time. The Big East has lost three full members (Pitt, Syracuse and West Virginia) since September 2011. The league is slated to become a 12-team football conference that includes Boise State and San Diego State next season. It is also working on a new television deal, negotiations that will not be helped by signs of instability.
Maryland is moving to the Big Ten in 2014. Rutgers is expected to announce a similar move Tuesday. Here is a look at how the moving parts affect the conferences involved:

- Ohio State Buckeyes host the Michigan Wolverines: Who will win and by how much? (poll)
Smith admitted that there is a tipping point of diminishing returns when it comes to expansion, though.
"At some point, enough is enough, I just don't know when that is," he said.
He doesn't think moving to 14 is a problem, and expects expansion will continue around the country and maybe in the Big Ten, believing the conventional wisdom that several 16-team super conferences could be the final result.
While he had some initial concerns about expanding, Smith said he never doubted Maryland's fit. He felt that the Big Ten could not stop the national expansion push by staying put, even though the conference has proven itself as an agenda-setter.
"I wish that was the truth, but I just don't see that," Smith said.
"Really in the last year it's become so obvious that major conferences are expanding outside of their regions," Delany told the AP. "You have multiple major conferences all in multiple regions. It seemed to us that there was a paradigm shift occurring around us. And therefore the question is how do you respond to that in a way that stay true to yourself, but is also only responsive not to the world you want but the world that you live in."
Smith said the first talk of adding Maryland started three months ago, and it heated up in the last few weeks.
Now Smith said he will fight for tradition. That fight after Nebraska's addition for the 2010 season kept the Ohio State-Michigan game at the end of the regular season. But change is here.
"In life sometimes in order to gain some things you have to do some things you've never done before," Smith said. "And I think if you want to look down the road at where we need to be in the collegiate landscape, you have to do some things differently. Don't shirk your traditions, never give those up, try to protect them the best you can. But the reality is you have to do some things different if you want to be progressive."

London: Mark Ramprakash, the former England batsman and county veteran, is expected to announce his retirement on Thursday, according to several reports in the UK.
The decision, if true, will bring to an end a 25-year career during which Ramprakash scored 114 first-class hundreds and 35,659 runs at 53.14 along with 13,273 runs in one-day cricket, making him the most prolific county batsman of modern times.
It is believed that Ramprakash has delayed his announcement to a day after the funeral of his team-mate, Tom Maynard, in Cardiff. At 42, Ramprakash is the oldest player in county cricket and his decision to retire has undoubtedly been influenced by the fact that he would have found it difficult to find a contract elsewhere.
Ramprakash has struggled in the ongoing county season and on May 15 had been dropped for the first time by Surrey since he joined them in 2001 after making just 62 runs in eight innings, including a pair against Worcestershire. He was recalled in June for a County Championship match against Sussex and made 8 and 37 opening the innings.

(December 15, 2010)
The newly repaved Daytona International Speedway surface, as expected, has more grip than the rough, aged one that had gone 32 years without a repaving.
Sprint Cup drivers got their first chance to drive racecars on the new surface Wednesday, the first day of a two-day tire test for Goodyear. Eighteen teams elected to participate, while more than 40 are expected for the NASCAR open test scheduled for Jan. 20-22 at the 2.5-mile oval.
Drivers apparently were comfortable going three-wide around Daytona, which is narrower than Talladega and typically featured two-wide with only occasional three-wide racing in the past.
"It is going to make for more exciting racing, more aggressive racing," Jeff Gordon said. "I don't think we're going to see the two-car bump-drafting (for separation from the pack) like we saw at Talladega, but I think you're going to see a lot of three-wide racing, which here typically in the past, getting more than two-wide, you could only do it for a short period of time.
"You'll be able to see us race here three-wide lap after lap after lap."
Teammate Dale Earnhardt Jr. was the first driver to take to the new surface during a day of single-car runs as well as drafting.
"They smoothed out all the bumps," Earnhardt said. "The track is real smooth. It's got a lot of grip. The track reminds me a lot like Talladega was like when they first finished it (a few years ago)."
Travis Pastrana gets first taste of driving stock cars
Travis Pastrana began the process of learning how to go fast in a stock car this week.
Pastrana, a supercross, freestyle motocross and Rally star, turned his first laps in a stock car Monday and Tuesday as he tested a K&N Pro Series East car at New Smyrna (Fla.) Speedway.
Pastrana plans to compete in seven Nationwide races in 2011 and hopes to make his NASCAR debut in an East car by qualifying for the Toyota All-Star Showdown next month at Irwindale, Calif.
"This is the biggest challenge that I've ever had," Pastrana said Tuesday. "It's going to take a lot of time. I'm willing to put the time in. There's going to come a time when I need to focus on this more, and that time is quickly approaching. I'm not taking it easy this first year, but to kind of understand and get a background of the entire sport."
Pastrana, 27, has partnered with Michael Waltrip Racing to form Pastrana Waltrip Racing.
During the test two-day test, Pastrana turned about 350 laps under the guidance of Nationwide Series crew chief Jerry Baxter and driver coach Matt Crafton.
"My main goal is not look like an idiot this year and hopefully next year we can come in with a better game plan and really start doing well," Pastrana said.

Just saw a news blurb on Forbes.com which reports that they think NYB is 'Overbought' as indicated by their RSI. That may be the case, but why would a writer for Forbes.com Dividend Channel care to report it to the world? Oh, and thanks, Forbes for explaining to the investing world what the RSI is...I'm kind of new to this, and bought NYB around 11. Can someone please comment on whether or not this article is an 'advertisement' meant to cast a short-term shadow on NYB? I guess the writers at Forbes.com have a short position in NYB?! Why would this be 'news' that needs to be reported?
NYB is in a basing channel going back to August. If the Forbes writer's strategy is a channel trade on dividend stocks, the call is consistent. If you trade that kind of time frame, it is probably a relevant call for you. Channel traders don't care about breakouts, they fade the channel boundaries regardless.The 50 day SMA is flat so if you are a short term trader getting in at 11 and out around 13-13.5 is not unreasonable. (i.e. leave the long term trades to the investors) It doesn't matter what the fundamentals are really, when it hits the top end of the channel, get out. Oscillators can be useful in that regard, but just because an oscillator is overbought, doesn't at all mean it can't stay overbought for a while, especially in a trend changing situation.I have a long term view and on a weekly chart this appears to be putting in an eventual reversal to the upside so I'm gently accumulating on weakness in the channel and collecting the dividend all the while. If it takes out the lows of the channel, that would be of more concern, but it's a long way from there currently.
I see this stock around 15to16 in the month of march,forbes is always bashes this stock.
I wouldn't put too much credence in Forbes investment opinions either. In fact they're down at the bottom of my list. Much prefer Value Line. Even S&P I'd put above Forbes.
...ask Yakubis. She spends a lot of time "close" to Joe......
gaseous,Overbought relative strength doesn't necessarily mean a selloff is coming. If the stock just stays at this level for a few days while others catch up the RSI will fall. If they don't catch up a stock can stay in overbought territory for days or weeks. On the other hand sellers could come in for a quick trade thinking it will fall. You can find hundreds of stocks everyday with strong RSI's, just check Investors Business Daily. So I agree with you that this was a stupid article for Forbes to write. I don't know what Forbes's agenda was unless the writer is purposely trying to manipulate the stock down for personal reasons.Ralph
I don't trust FORBES investment advice at all. They are about as bad as Cramers advice on stocks. Cramers stock pick of the year last year went down about 60%. Forbes is about the same. I think your fine here. I made a few bucks this year by doing the opposite of what most of the pros say.
Otherwise known as a breakout.

Beaconsfield officials say it's news to them that the waterfront in their city's Memorial Park is being considered as a candidate for a new public beach.
The director general has told The Gazette that there has been no analysis of the idea and no strategy for creating the swimming spot.
He adds that Beaconsfield residents have not been consulted about whether they want a beach for swimming in their midst.
The idea was floated last week when City of Montreal officials and the environmental group CRE-Montreal got together to talk about public access to the river. Two spots were mentioned a possibilities for swimming sites: Memorial Park and Parc de la Promenade-Bellerive in the east end.

The two pieces selected by Southampton were chosen because they demonstrate the extent to which Helen Chadwick has used this approach to achieve strikingly different results. The image of tightly-bunched deep yellow and orange tulips surrounding a single cherry in a well of black oil is in sharp contrast to that of pink and white delphiniums floating in translucent hair gel. Wreaths to Pleasure make clear reference to bodily forms and fluids, and to sexuality. They are beautifully delicate, tempting yet untouchable, simultaneously delicious and bordering on the repulsive.

Does anyone expect to see a change in management? I get the feeling Ram is stringing us along and keeping IFON alive just to continue to collect a paycheck. Clearly, they are not executing on their business plan and haven't in quite some time. Can't the board see through this? I don't know about anyone else, but cash is now down below 5mm and I would not be buying any shares at this level based upon current performance of the company. There is just too much risk that this stock falls below .20 with another two quarterly losses. I also noticed for the first time Ram had no encouraging words to say in his PR. Maybe he realizes also that IFON is no longer a viable business and can't compete. Sad to think even when their target market is third world countries with second rate phones. Did anyone really believe that anyone would pay $169 for a Verykool phone when you can get a subsidized Apple IPhone for $99?

Major sporting goods companies such as Nike and Adidas have sponsorships available, which provide athletic apparel to organizations that qualify.
Golden Valley High School is one such organization.
"It's been awesome for us," says Golden Valley co-athletic director Chris Printz, who helped orchestrate a Nike sponsorship through a contact with the company. "Given the rising costs of athletics, we're able to do so much with reducing the cost of high school sports for student-athletes."
Nike has an application process for securing sponsorships, which can be accessed through Nikebiz.com.
According to a preliminary questionnaire, the company will not provide sponsorships for individuals or individual sports teams, nor will it provide them for groups affiliated with the church, state or other for-profit ventures.
Adidas requires interested parties to send proposals to its sports marketing offices, promising that a representative will then contact the party about the proposal.
This past school year was Golden Valley's first under Nike, and it is the only Foothill League school with a Nike sponsorship.
None of the other Foothill League schools have full sponsorships with a sporting goods company.
The deal helps Golden Valley save money by providing the normal practice apparel that is given out to athletes in each sport.
Collectively known as "spirit packs," the apparel typically bears the name of the school and the individual sport. But thanks to the sponsorship, Golden Valley's spirit packs are different.
"What we're able to do because of our sponsorship is instead of each individual sport, it'll say, 'Golden Valley athletics,'" Printz says. "Nike allows us to do that at a very nice discount. It allows us to fund different sports."
The sponsorship reduces the cost of playing multiple sports, which Printz says was a catalyst behind the move.
"We want as many multi-sport athletes as possible," he says, "and I think that's something that's been lost in this scholarship push over the last 10 years. Kids think they have to specialize, and I believe there are a lot of kids who don't go out or participate in as many sports simply because of the cost.
"We're trying to use the business of athletics to provide more opportunities for student-athletes."
As much as sponsorships can benefit schools, the deal is hardly selfless on the part of the sporting goods company.
Ever since 2004, Nike has sponsored a national cross country meet after the high school season.
Known as the Nike Cross Nationals, it serves as a de facto national championship meet, and the Saugus girls team has finished second the last two years.
For its efforts in 2007, Saugus was rewarded with 25 uniforms and warm-ups produced by Nike for the next season.
The company didn't offer the same prize in 2008 because of employee cutbacks.
"We just used them as varsity uniforms," says Saugus head coach Rene Paragas. "But it was kind of nice to get those free uniforms if you're on the varsity team."
The Saugus cross country team gets its apparel from Venue Sports, which is based in California and sells track and cross country products.
Most of the teams in the Foothill League work with more localized sporting goods companies. West Ranch athletic director Dody Garcia says that companies such as Easton and Buddy's All-Stars supply certain Wildcat teams with apparel and equipment.
No other school currently has a sponsorship, although Canyon High assistant principal Pete Getz says the school is looking at pursuing one in the future.
Like the other schools, Canyon's teams do independent fundraising to earn most of the money for their apparel.
But Getz says a sponsorship will make things easier.
"The local companies are generous in what they do, but with the way the economic climate is, I don't think it's conducive to donating right now," he says. "We're trying to get a sponsorship for the school as one instead of having all these fragmented things going on."
If Canyon succeeds, the sponsorship would help cut costs for the athletic program.
And of course, it wouldn't hurt the name recognition of the company providing it.
"Anything that a Golden Valley athlete is going to be outfitted in is going to be Nike," Printz says. "If there is a successful program, Nike will be the emblem out there. They profit, and we profit from the huge discount. I think it's very, very mutually beneficial."

Featured Golf News
Exotic Animals Protected at Cape Kidnappers
The 18 holes at Cape Kidnappers in Hawkes Bay, New Zealand, have, in the first two months of 2014, solidified their place among the top-ranked courses in the world along with its standing as one of golf's most ambitious environmental properties.
Red-Billed Gulls & White-Fronted Terns
Gather at Flat Rock Colony at Cape Kidnappers
On January 16, Audubon International renewed Cape Kidnappers GC as a Certified Audubon Cooperative Sanctuary, its highest environmental designation and one that only 873 of the world's approximately 35,000 courses have achieved. The week prior, Golf Digest issued its first-ever global top 100 and Tom Doak-designed Cape Kidnappers came in at No. 22.
There are three Audubon-certified courses ranked ahead of Cape Kidnappers on the Golf Digest list, all in the U.S.: No. 1 Pine Valley GC, No. 14 Merion GC, and No. 15 Pebble Beach. However, it's unlikely that any course ranked above or below Cape Kidnappers is home to as many endangered species or wildlife protection zones, to say nothing of kiwi footprints in bunkers and rare kakariki birds nesting in the maintenance shed.
"We've recently added bee hives to the property, which will help pollination of all the Cape's plant species and we plan to extract our own 'Cape Honey' for the restaurant at some point," said Cape Kidnappers course superintendent Brad Sim. "We've also added some 1,689 native plantings in the last year, representing 11 different species, and a wildflower field, which is more a point of interest for our non-golfing guests, perhaps, but it looks pretty spectacular. It's this combination of world-class golf, lodging and environmental programs that makes Cape Kidnappers so unique.
"On the golf side, we do take notice of new world rankings," the Australian-born Sim continued. "We're quite proud and definitely have high goals to maintain our spot, or improve it. With Kauri sneaking up a few places, to [sister course Kauri Cliffs GC in Bay of Island, NZ is ranked No. 39 on the same list], we're obligated to keep pace."
Cape Kidnappers is more than a top golf destination - it's a landform unto itself, a triangular headland whose white cliffs jut 8 kilometers into the Pacific from the North Island, the wine-region community of Napier. Owned by American hedge-fund leader Julian Robertson, the golf course and adjoining lodge (the Farm at Cape Kidnappers) occupy but a fraction of a 2,400-hectare property that represents one of the largest privately owned wildlife preserves in New Zealand.
The resort itself, the Farm at Cape Kidnappers, has earned a lofty reputation in its own right. In 2010, it was named to Travel+Leisure's "World's Top 50 Hotels," and earned Gold List status from Condé Nast Traveller in 2012. Soon its dining room will serve homegrown honey alongside the meat and vegetables raised on the property.
Yet Cape Kidnappers also maintains the largest gannet colony in the world. Populations of rare kiwi and pateke birds - plus the very rare brown teal duck - are routinely released and nurtured here on land protected by a predator-proof fence some 13 km in circumference. Guests are invited to hike and explore the vast property - even track the kiwis now living in the Cape Sanctuary.
Sim's maintenance staff routinely works alongside Farm and Cape Sanctuary staff to ensure that the on-course environment complements work carried out across the wider property. This means, among other things, carrying out pest control, monitoring water quality in old farm dams, maintaining the integrity of the predator-proof fence, restoring habitat for native species, and removing invasive species like blackberry, pink ragwort and boxthorn.
Holes 12-17 at Cape Kidnappers GC
"We on the golf staff get involved with wildlife conservation efforts as much as possible," Sim said. "Prior to my arrival, the staff helped with building the bird-breeding aviaries and also installed their water supply, something we continue to maintain. We got a nice thankyou for that effort when we found the kakariki trying to nest in our maintenance shed last year.
"We always have a couple staff at any release of new species. Recently, there was a release of a predominately ground-dwelling bird, the Saddleback, which for many years only survived on a predator-free offshore island. They were brought in by helicopter and lots of locals came to witness the release, which was months in the planning."
Iwi representatives [Maori tribal elders] from both the bird's island of origin and Hawkes Bay region performed a karakia, a blessing or prayer.
"All watched over the release with great pride. The whole process is quite spiritual actually, as most of the releases are," Sim said. "The Saddleback in particular didn't go so well at first, but we've recently got evidence they're breeding: chicks and hatchling remnants. These are ground-running birds. They don't fly far, but they found a pair outside the Sanctuary in a local's garden down in Te Awanga, 10 to 15 kilometers away. This pair was released back into the sanctuary. The population will be 'topped up' in August, with a release of more Saddleback collected from Bushy Park in Wanganui."
When he and his staff aren't releasing rare species or nurturing the highly sought-after makuna honey, Sim does what all superintendents do: he tends to his golf course. They are working hard this season at organic matter reduction/control, which includes coring fairways for the first time since the club opened in 2004. ("Good, solid organic tactic. All about increasing turf health.") As part of Cape Kidnappers' recent recertification, Audubon International enlisted the help of Craig France of the Sustaining Hawkes Bay Trust. France visited the course and observed first-hand, and in great detail, Sim's environmental practices on course and off.
"Craig applauded your continuing efforts to maintain naturalized areas on the golf course, which provide valuable water, food and habitat for local and migratory wildlife in the area," wrote Doug Bechtel, Audubon's associate director of Environmental Programs. "He noted your extensive native plantings, sighted kiwi prints in a sand bunker (!), and was impressed by the diverse and extensive wildlife corridors and buffer habitats around all water bodies.
"Your pest-management methods and chemical-use practices at the course are exemplary, and we applaud your use of scouting, setting thresholds for turf diseases and pests, and creative use of cattle for Porina grub control. These are great examples of integrated pest management. Craig recorded all your appropriate IPM methods, and noted your rotation of low-toxicity pesticides and wide no-spray zones. We applaud these efforts and consider them good role models for other facilities."

Well, darn. I have a new blouse that I was going to show off today but the pictures all turned out unacceptable. The weather is supposed to be warmer later in the week so I think I'll wear it again and try some outdoor photography. (I finally found my tripod.) It's the flash that messes things up.
So, since I have nothing to show right now let's see what a few of the sewing bloggers have been doing lately.
Anne took some free fabric that wasn't her style at all and made it into something totally Anne.
From 70's skirt to sofa pillow
a neat and nifty bobbin holder
"totally twee AND squee at the same time". I love that fabric and I want to make an adult size version of that dress.
More sewing for kids. Cute and practical.
And another adorable little girl's dress. I just keep finding these. I love those colors.
beautiful spring colors and a very nice pattern

How does an amateurish, do-it-yourself movie, a piece of anti-Islamic agitprop almost no one has seen, get mixed up in 9/11 attacks in Cairo, Egypt, and in Benghazi, Libya, tightening political tensions at home and abroad?
The still largely mysterious film The Innocence of Muslims lays bare today's media world. Its bizarre progress - from the California hills to YouTube to TV screens in the Middle East to the streets of Cairo and Benghazi - displays the instant power of media to spread words, images, or ideas worldwide, into millions of minds. It shows how easy it is for almost anyone to make a movie these days - and how easy for advocates and opportunists, from real estate developers to Middle East extremists, to leverage media to further their aims.

GRAND RAPIDS, MI – As the daughter of Betty Ford, the woman credited with changing American attitudes toward breast cancer, Susan Ford Bales had to wonder: What was her risk for the disease?
About a year ago, after her mother's death, Bales decided to see if she had inherited one of the BRCA gene mutations that carry a sharply increased risk of breast cancer.
"I had the genetic test done," she said. "I don't carry the gene."
Bales, the daughter of former President Gerald R. Ford and first lady Betty Ford, discussed her genetic risks in an interview Monday, Oct. 14, after taking part in a breast cancer seminar sponsored by Spectrum Health at DeVos Place in Grand Rapids.
When she learned her test result, Bales said, "I was ecstatic."
Her concern was not just for herself but for also her two daughters and her granddaughter. If she carried the gene mutation, she could have passed it on to them. To know she was not a carrier was a big relief.
"It doesn't mean I'm not going to get breast cancer," she added. "I could still get breast cancer. It takes my numbers down some."
Related: Pink umbrella gathering creates giant pink ribbon for breast cancer awareness
Betty Ford, who died July 8, 2011, was never tested for a breast cancer gene mutation, Bales said.
She added she particularly was concerned about her genetic risks because breast cancer is on both sides of her family history. Her dad's mother, Dorothy Ayer Gardner Ford, also had the disease.
The average American woman has a 12.5 percent lifetime risk of developing breast cancer, said Dr. Judy Hiemenga, a geneticist with Spectrum Health.
The majority of cases are diagnosed in women who have no family history of the disease.

But those who carry the BRCA 1 and 2 genes face risks of 50 to 85 percent. Many of those who carry the abnormal genes eventually opt for a double mastectomy to prevent cancer, Hiemenga said.
Bales advised those worried about their risks to talk to a genetics counselor about whether to be tested.
Speaking at the seminar, she recalled how her parents discussed whether her mother should talk publicly about her breast cancer – or even mention the word "breast" in public – when she was diagnosed in 1974. Betty Ford said it was time to end the silence about the disease.
"In an instant, Betty Ford changed the history of women's health," Bales said.
Her mother would have been proud to see the crowd that filled a DeVos Place ballroom for the seminar on breast cancer and genetics, she said. Despite the progress made in early detection and treatment, there is still a need to raise awareness "until we have the magic silver bullet," she added.
"We haven't defeated this disease. I don't want my children to have to deal with this."

Free safety videos are always welcome in a blended learning strategy. Perhaps mix them in with your current safety training videos?
No matter how much training you seem to be doing, do you need to remind staff of the same safety infringements?
Or perhaps the same incidents seem to be reported time after time?
It's hard to keep your safety training fresh which is why we invite you to view these gems. The WSIB videos are hard hitting, engaging and sure to gain everyone's attention. They all centre around this theme:
"There Really Are No Accidents"
You will be proud to present these to your staff as a hard-hitting opener. Or use them in conjunction with our safety videos for peace of mind.
Alternatively, put the download ones in your own PowerPoint safety presentations as another tool in your ongoing efforts to improve safety awareness and safety culture at your site(s).
Safety Manager Interview
This is a snippet of SafetyVideoShop.com.au's interview series you can use for free in your safety training.
Here Bill with over 20 years of experience in manufacturing talks about the devastating effects of taking shortcuts. Then Jo speaks of the misconception "It Won't Happen To Me".
Little Safety Man Animation
An interesting little animation by NCH Animations.
It runs for only 77 seconds and is of a little man who chooses not to wear his helmet on a construction site.
"Compromise on Your Safety, and Risk Compromising Other People's Safety"
Fire Safety with Impact
This was made by the British Fire Brigade for the consumer market but has a massive impact regardless of where it is shown.
Try it in a toolbox safety session about fire safety about the importance of using the right extinguisher for the right kind of fire.
Melon Head
An excellent one of our little free safety videos to download right now. It is short, amateur, to the point and perfect for a toolbox training topic.
Play it now and see for yourself – it gives an example of how a melon (your head) is protected by a hard hat – or any PPE for that matter.
WSIB Coffin Video
The fourth safety video in the series by WSIB.
This one is confronting firstly because were in church hearing the eulogy seeing the coffin in the background.
When the word "accident" is heard, we see and hear the coffin open, then the electrical burns victim sits up and he has a few words to say…
WSIB Retail Video
The fifth and final safety video in the series by WSIB.
Here's one for retail. Actually it's for you if you have any workers who work indoors.
In this we see a terrible ladder accident. Again, if you've watched the other videos first, you'll be watching this one through your fingers when she's leaning right over…

Very attractive passable blonde on her back getting fucked... and she jacks off and cums on her sexy toned abs at 3:30 into it.
I absolutely LOVE seeing them cumming on themselves while getting pounded!!! Damn I wish it was me getting to have sex with her!!!!!

Ooh that one IS nice!!! That's the way I like to see a shemale--very girlish face, hot body, nice dick, and a very feminine asshole!! mmmmm-mmm! I loved the creampie at the end!!
Shit, now I want to take the day off work and watch shemale porn all day!! I wonder if my boss would accept that excuse?
So--take off from work I did. Watching shemale porn I am!!
I skip past most of the beginning, the dick sucking, and watch where she is stroking herself while he's pounding her in the ass. As soon as she cum on herself I stopped the video. I like shemale solo, and shemale x2 the best.
Obviously, to each their own... I still fantasize about wht it would be like to have a sexual encounter with some of the hot, passable ones!!!
The brown haired one is much more passable. Great angle at 15:50, and nice cum shots at 21:00 and 22:00
CDs aren't my usual thing, but this one rides a big, long Kevin Dean dildo like a champ.
Also, this one, with BAM:
Yes. I own these dildos. That's why I like to watch people fucking them. I know what they feel like!
I know there are a few links in here but anyone have some more solo cumshot compilations?
Can ya'll post more pics here of gorgeous trannies?
fireproof69, I wish. the only ones i've found are in this thread
http://www.ashemaletube.com/videos/77749/hot-shemales-cumming-compilation.html <-- mostly solo, a few that are jacking and cumming on another person, some really hot ones!!!
http://www.ashemaletube.com/videos/73986/ladyboy-may-barebacked-pov.html <-- one of my fave's...not a compilation, but she is very sexy, great body...love watching her cum on her firm abs!!! Wish it was me fucking her, and jacking her off!!!!!
http://www.ashemaletube.com/videos/77789/two-blondies-pleasing-each-other.html <-- 2 super hot sexy blondes!!! At 10:30, how I'd love to be jacking off with a cock in each hand!!!!! Theses girls are gorgeous!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Tight, young sexy bodies...I'd love to join them!!!
Enjoy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Holy Fuck!!!!! Just found this amazing video. probably my new favorite for a wwhie... 2 smoking hot chics, one with a pussy, one with a dick!!! Both are amazing bodies, tits and private parts too!
http://www.ashemaletube.com/videos/4633/blonde-in-boots-nailing-a-guy.html <-- really nice blonde, with a guy (Justin Beiber after an all night drug binge) She takes the lead on this one...his ass is getting reamed, and his face creamed!!!
http://www.ashemaletube.com/videos/86302/amazing-blondes-in-action.html <-- hot blonde shemale with hot blonde girl...nice cumshot at end. Very nice tits on the shemale.
http://www.ashemaletube.com/videos/4977/shemale-anal-action-outdoor.html?ct=2 -- shemale/shemale...nice short clip, both cum at end
For the record... I strongly prefer very attractive, sexy, hot, passable shemales...so these videos lean towards those sexy shemales that are just that.....Hot chics with nice dicks!!!
EDIT: here's a good cumshot compilation. Some solo's, duo's, shemale x2, shemale/male...good stuff mostly, a few that I skipped over (don't care about the facials)
Last edited by KssnCzns; 10-31-2012 at 09:28 PM. Reason: added cumshot compilation at end
Wow!! You weren't kidding! Those are all some mighty fine looking shemales!! Thanks for the links. I surf that website all the time. I'm really horny for some hot shemale dick today!!
Don't even think about just some dude cross-dressing...but these sexy feminine hotties with dicks are amazing to watch. They have to have the look, the appearance, the mindset and the quality tits of a woman.
There's times I will see some spread eagle girl pic in the porn thread, and think to myself..."damn, that would be so hot if she had a cock down there!"
Thanks fireproof!
Thought I'd share a couple of pics of Domino Presley using a Fleshlight. I don't think there have been any links to it.
Hopefully I can find more pics and a name. That is an incredible body!
http://trannylives.tumblr.com/ <-- here is a nice collection of shemale pics...I'm on my phone so don't have time to post individual pics...I'm about ready to jack off in the bathroom stall at work after viewing some of them!!!
MOST AWESOME cumshot compilation EVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
They are all shemale cumshots while being pounded in their asses!!!!! SOme of them are on top and cum on the guy, while most are on their backs and cum on themselves (my preference).
Oh how I love to watch shemale girls jack themselves off and cum... this is an amazing compilation. I really like seeing them masturbate while being fucked!!!
It would be cool if the guys could synchronize and as soon as she starts cumming on herself, he would pull out and cum on her hand as it strokes her cock!!!!!
I've watched the entire 31:12 of this amazing video collection... now I'm just a little disappointed because it's time for my wife to get home and she doesn't have a cock to jack off while I fuck her in the ass...

That is indeed some good stuff!!!
Thank you very hot
In fact, I just watched that one again!! then twice!!... I gotta hand it to you on that one, that is some stuff right there!!!!...I really like the compilation ones!!! I watched it once while standing and stroking hands free into my Ashley, then watched it again while standing and fucking my Kaley dildo!!.....NICE!!!
no Bailey Jay???
Ask and you shall receive http://www.shemale-porn-galls.com/galls/baileyjay/jesse_jane_fleshlight_mov/?nats=MjYxMzo0OjQ1
I do like Bailey Jay, but for the most part I skip most of the video when watching porn. I am most interested in seeing the shemale cum shot. Not really in to watching the blow jobs, or very long sections of penetration/fucking. That's where the last cum shot compilation I posted is SO amazing for my preference.
Bailey Jay is really hot. I think the thing about her is not so much that she is smoking hot, as it is her demeanor. She seems very bubbly and giddy in the same way a teen girl might be. To me, watching her videos is not so much about great shemale sex, it's the way she carries herself in her videos, laughing and giggling and seeming to have so much fun!! I mean let's face it, I (for one) can tell she is not a "real" girl. In fact, yeah I'm going to say it, I defy anyone to post a real honest-to-god pic of a shemale and tell me that I can't tell that it's not a real female. I don't think you can. Sorry, but that's just the way it is. But that doesn't mean I can't get off on it.....I'm not going to lie to you, I've never had sex with a shemale (or a male either) and the truth of the matter is--I'm probably never going to... But that does not mean I cannot fantasize about it.
I like watching some shemale porn, I do. But it's got to be one that is very feminine AND has a good looking dick. Not some shrivelled up half inch penis, OR a well hung shemale that looks like a linebacker in a tutu. I am not one of those macho fuckin' guys--I admit to having some homo-erotic fantasies...There I said it, I don't care. Sometimes I like watching dick!!..I love watching dicks squirt cum!!..But I really have no attraction whatsoever to the person attached to it....Especially if it's a guy. I have no desire at all to watch guys sucking cock, or kissing, or the "acting" build-up to the sex. If I am going to watch that, I'd rather watch women. But I admit to watching gay compilation vids, just cocks and cum and creampies--I love the squirt!!...and buttholes... I love 'em!!
Hoo, shit, I'm really drunk right now....What the fuck was I talking about?......

You might enjoy these pics of Bailey with a load on her face and tits...
...annnnnd I just shot my load all over my monitor...
You're right, the thing she does with her tongue and teeth drives me wild...
I would really like to plow her senseless...

Not really into trannies but I am surprised ILF doesn't take advantage and make some tranny FL's.
We'd probably see a shemale Fleshlight series only after ILF makes a handjob Fleshie and Hell freezes over.
Someone could always give a petition the old college try, if enough signatures signify intent to buy, hypothetically ILF could potentially release a generic shemale "lotus" butt and dildo combo.
Omg these post are really giving me a boner. I can't masturbate until the fleshlight cums though. Must fight the urge!!
that's a great tranny tube WatchTranny.com
plus some hot pics taken from http://pics.freetrannygals.com/shemalesinpublic/132a-tamy_1/?nats=MzguMi45LjEwLjAuODY5LjAuMC4w
Man, look at this big beautiful shemale dick!! I would so love to have this pumping into my ass right now!!
And I would love to take a good throat glazing with the hot stuff I bet cums out of this beauty!!
I mean just look at this big hard glorious shaft!!! MMMMMM MMM!!
Last edited by SLECTOR; 12-12-2012 at 12:05 PM.
Damn, those ARE a couple of nice dicks! Especially the black and white pic!
this is so hot.i want more pictures like this.were can i get more?
Well, sorry to say but that one is photoshopped. Not real. Still hot though! But who knows, some of the ones I posted may have been too. Sometimes it's easy to tell, sometimes not.
This one looks exceptionally well!!
And I'd sure like to get ahold of this baby on a picnic table!!
Look at how inviting this is!! She would be fun to play with!!
Aw man!!! Here's where the fun begins!!....
^^^^^ I hope that's not photoshopped, because that is SO freaking HOT!!!!!

Hitchcock - Wide Shoes for Men - Mens Wide Shoes, Extra Wide Shoes, EEEE, Orthopedic Shoes
Forget minimalist here but work/dress shoes it might be worth checking out. I go 4 or 5 E myself.
I cannot find shoes to wear. I need something with an ungodly wide toe box. I made my own moccasins, but they are more useful for casual wear. I'd prefer something minimal (thin sole). I've already tried Vibrams, and they work but cause skin pain for me. I need something for hardcore physical work. I've done Google searches, but still no luck thus far. To give you an idea, New Balance 6E's today were too narrow. The shape of nearly every shoe is wrong for me. What company makes very wide toe box minimalist shoes? Altra, Keen, and New Balance Minimus have been the closest for me yet. I'm still looking though.

Wheat is the new tobacco. Spread the word.
Thanks. I'll go back there if/when I ever need some formal shoes.
Athletic And Outdoors - Propet - Travel Walkers - Hitchcock Wide Shoes for Men
Those look somewhat intriguing for daily wear.
I don't know how you'd feel about how casual these shoes are, but I love them. Unshoes Minimal Footwear They are sandals, but they're made for outdoor uses.
These shoes are made with vibram rubber and the best part is they're all custom made from drawings of your feet that you send to them. It doesn't matter how wide your foot is. The Wokovas rage from $39-47, depending on the sole thickness you choose. The 4mm soles are cheaper than the 10mm. The Feathers are $45, since the only a sole thickness offered is 5mm. I've been patiently waiting for them to release the Pah Tempes for adults, but they keep delaying those. Don't get me wrong; I like the ones I have. I just like the style they're delaying better, lol.
Motherhood: When changing from pj pants to yoga pants qualifies as 'getting dressed'.
Unshoes Minimal Footwear-----look nice, I guess. I can make something like that with an old tire or a thick inner tube. Lot less expensive but maybe not so 'cool',--- BUT--- lot less expensive and the good feeling of accomplishment after making something for yourself. It probably is just me, but I feel a lot prouder of my self made tire tread sandals than of any high end shoes I ever had.
Shoes, moccasins, sandals, and such are really easy to make.
Tayatha om bekandze
Bekandze maha bekandze
Randza samu gate soha
Vibram makes two VFF styles that fit wider feet - Bikila LS and Speed. I have both and they allow for quite a wide foot I think.
crocs fit my wide feet pretty well
By the way everyone, save for some new advice, I think I am going to order some custom fitted shoes from this website. I'm going with the funkasins. My mocs are great, but I just need something more heavy duty and well made. This guy seems to have his act together with double leather everywhere plus a rubber sole. PLUS, the rubber sole is reportedly something you can repair and rebuild yourself as it wears down. He calls it "future tread."

6E, damn that's wide! I'm a size 9.5 4/5E. I had no idea they made bigger than 4E. In Australia it's almost impossible to get anything but 2E. Got my Nike sneakers in 4E from Foot Locker in New York. The thing that sux about Oz is that they block you purchasing sneakers from most online outlets overseas so you have to pay 70% more getting them from their Oz stores. Eg my friend brought the same Nike in 2E in Oz for $220 but I got then for $100 in NY. The markup is criminal.

Africa is my land. To see it again, to touch it with the Pope, is a great joy, a great grace and a moment which will be special in my life." With these words, Cardinal Bernardin Gantin, 58, Roman Catholicism's most influential black churchman, prepared to accompany John Paul II on the Pontiff's scheduled 11-day visit to six African nations. Did the cardinal offer any special advice prior to history's first papal tour of his continent? "No," replied Gantin. "I am but one voice, a modest voice."
Modesty and discretion are characteristic of the man who in 1960 became the first black archbishop in modern history. He received his cardinal's hat three years ago, and when death took both Paul VI and John Paul I in 1978, Gantin was mentioned as a long-shot possibility to succeed them. Today he is the only black member of the Vatican's powerful Curia and is frequently consulted by the Pope.
The son of a railway official in the part of French West Africa that later became the nation of Dahomey, the 6'2" Gantin trained for the priesthood in local seminaries and in Rome. Named archbishop of Cotonou at age 37, he returned to Rome in 1971 and now serves in eight Curia offices, including the top posts in the human rights and international relief agencies. Ironically, his relations with his own homeland have become strained since a Marxist regime seized power in 1972 and renamed the country Benin in 1975. Despite official efforts to ignore him, some 20,000 of his countrymen turned up at the airport to welcome Gantin on a home visit after he was elevated to the College of Cardinals.
Though Africa's 53 million Catholics make up only 12 percent of the continent's population, the cardinal rejects the idea that Christianity there is merely a legacy of colonialism. "The Gospel is directed to all of mankind, apart from culture, from color and from human and social conditions," says Gantin. "Therefore, the church is at home everywhere."

The Northern Territory has two distinct climate zones: the tropical Top End, and semi-arid Central Australia.
The Top End, which includes Darwin, Katherine, Kakadu and Arnhem Land, has a tropical climate, and has two distinct seasons, the 'Wet' and the 'Dry'.
The Wet season spans from November until April and is characterised by increased humidity followed by monsoonal rains and storms. Temperatures typically range from a minimum of 25C (77F) to a maximum of 33C (91F), and humidity levels can reach in excess of 80%.
While weather conditions at this time of year can restrict travel to some areas, the Wet season is a stunning time to see the Top End. Waterfalls tumble, skies host incredible light shows, and the landscape turns a lush green.
The 'Dry' season, from May until October, is characterised by warm, dry sunny days and cool nights. Temperatures typically range from 21C (70F) to 32C (90F), and the humidity levels are much lower: around 60–65%.
Central Australia, which includes Alice Springs, Tennant Creek, the Barkly Tablelands and Uluru/Kata-Tjuta regions, has a semi-arid climate. The area experiences Australia's four typical seasons: summer, autumn, winter and spring, with large variations in temperature from season to season.
In summer (December–February), average temperatures range between 20C (68F) and 35C (95F). In winter (June–August), the average temperature range is 3–20C (37–68F). Spring and autumn in Central Australia see warm days and cool evenings.
Note that temperatures in Central Australia can be extreme: temperatures can drop below 0C (32F) overnight in winter, and rise above 40C (104F) in summer. At these times, be sure to check the weather before you venture outdoors and make sure you are equipped for extremes.
Slideshow controls have visual effect only.
The warm, tropical climate of Darwin and surrounding areas is characterised by the 'Wet' and the 'Dry'. But all year round there is something to do.
The impressive national parks and nature reserves of the Katherine region are most comfortable in the dry season when it's access all areas.
Find out about Tennant Creek and Barkly Region's unique tropical climate and get all the information you need to plan your visit ahead of time.
The climate in Alice Springs is great for getting outdoors. Unlike the wet and dry seasons of the Tropical North, you'll get the typical four seasons.
Sunny days are the norm for much of the year in Uluru, allowing visitors to make the most of the stunning desert landscapes and rock formations.

"It was a great game," said head coach Bobby Petrino. "You can't say enough about how they played offensively and how we played offensively."
The two teams traded offensive drives throughout the night, but it was the Cardinals that had the last possession, which led to the winning score, a 1-yard touchdown run by Eric Shelton. LeFors rushed for a 2-point conversion for the final margin.
The Louisville defense entered the contest ranked 11th in total defense and 10th against the rush, but Tommy West's Tiger offense produced a near perfect game plan, attacking U of L both through the air and on the ground. Memphis quarterback Danny Wimprine threw for 361-yards and tied a career high with four touchdowns, while running back DeAngelo Williams became the first opposing runner to eclipse the 100-yard mark, gaining 195-yards on the evening.
Louisville's offensive attack was just as potent. Along with LeFors 321-yards, Shelton gained 134 yards on the ground, while the team racked up 281 total rushing yards.
Linebacker Abe Brown intercepted Wimprine's pass late in the game to secure the victory.
Louisville, which is now tied with Southern Miss atop C-USA at 4-0, will return home to face Conference USA foe TCU on Wednesday night.
