We know that yoga does the body good from the findings of ACE's 2005 yoga study, which found that a regular practice of hatha yoga significantly improves flexibility, muscular strength and endurance, and balance. But did you know that yoga can also help organizations with their bottom line?
After experiencing a ski accident, Aetna CEO Mark Bertolini found himself in a fog from the prescribed pain and nerve medications. When he lost the ability to think and function clearly, he turned to yoga and was amazed by the results. Not only was he able to wean himself off the drugs, he also regained his focus and was able to get back to work with a clear mind. So impressed by the power of yoga, Bertolini teamed up with eMindful and the American Viniyoga Institute to conduct a 12-week study to determine the effects of practiced meditation and therapeutic yoga for stress reduction among Aetna employees.
The results of the study largely mirrored Bertolini's experience—employees who participated were less stressed and more productive. "Employees who are facing the highest levels of stress cost their employer an average of $2,000 a year more in health care costs than the average employee," Bertolini told CNBC. By reducing employees' stress and increasing their productivity, employers can save approximately $3,000 per year.
Bertolini also mentioned the importance of being present—a factor that they were not able to measure in the study. By being present on the job, employees are able to make better decisions for the organization, which could have long-term effects that would be seen over time.
Arianna Huffington chimed in on the topic in Huffington Post, urging organizations to pay attention to these findings and offer mindfulness programs for their employees. According to Huffington, the World Health Organization estimates that stress costs American businesses as much as $300 billion each year, with self-reported stress levels drastically increasing among both men (25 percent) and women (18 percent). Considering the tough state of our economy, happy and healthy employees may offer businesses a competitive advantage at a time when they need it the most.
"It's encouraging to see that many employers are now recognizing the plethora of benefits that yoga and meditation provide, both for their employees health and happiness as well as for the productivity and bottom line of their businesses," says Jessica Matthews, ACE Exercise Physiologist and Experienced Registered Yoga Teacher (E-RYT), who leads a monthly yoga class as part of ACE's own wellness initiative. "There's no denying that when companies invest in the wellbeing of their employees everybody wins."

Learn to teach English at UTS:INSEARCH. Teach English in institutions worldwide, as well as providing a pathway to postgraduate TESOL programs at UTS.
CELTA (Certificate in English Language Teaching to Adults) is an initial qualification for people with little or no previous adult English language teaching experience and is one of the most widely taken qualifications of its kind. Over 10,000 people each year choose CELTA to open up a world of exciting English language teaching opportunities.
CELTA is awarded by Cambridge English, a department of the University of Cambridge in the United Kingdom, which provides a range of qualifications for language teachers. Cambridge English approves centres around the world, such as UTS:INSEARCH, to conduct courses leading to the award. The course is practical in nature and is strongly regarded by employers as providing sound, initial training.
UTS:INSEARCH has been delivering CELTA courses since 1992. By choosing to do your CELTA with us you will be working with trainers highly regarded in their field with qualifications including masters degrees in linguistics, TESOL or adult education as well as the Cambridge DELTA (Diploma in English Language Training to Adults). The CELTA program at UTS:INSEARCH also provides a pathway to further postgraduate studies at UTS. A preference is always given to our own CELTA graduates for teaching positions at UTS:INSEARCH and in our offshore centres.
Since 2003 we have also delivered CELTA courses at the Sydney Institute of Language and Commerce (SILC), Shanghai, China. This is a joint venture institute between UTS:INSEARCH and Shanghai University.
*includes the assessment fee payable to Cambridge English for certification
You are welcome to attend an information session during which you will be able to meet a course tutor, hear a presentation covering all aspects of the course and ask questions. You will also be able to see a video of trainees doing some practice teaching on a previous course. There is no need to reserve a place.

How is CELTA different from TESOL?
CELTA (Certificate in English Language Teaching to Adults) is a short-course, internationally recognised TESOL qualification which appeals to people who may not come from a teaching background. It focuses on techniques and materials suitable for adult English language teaching.
Certificates and diplomas in Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages (TESOL) are offered by universities as postgraduate courses. They are usually from 1 to 2 years in duration and appeal to people who wish to gain a formal teaching qualification that enables them to teach English as a Second Language (ESL) in primary and secondary schools, and to adults.
How is the course structured?
There are 3 components: methodology, teaching practice and written assignments.
What is the method of assessment?
Assessment is continuous and integrated throughout the course. There are two assessed components:
There is no final examination.
What grades are possible?
Grades are determined with reference to the assessment criteria for the two assessed components. Assessment criteria are given in a Cambridge English document at the beginning of the course. There is no quota for grades.
In 2015, we had a 97% success rate with 32% of trainees achieving either Pass A or Pass B.
What employment pathways does CELTA offer?
CELTA qualifies you to teach English to adults in many countries. Because of its practical nature, the course is internationally recognised by language centres and graduates are in high demand worldwide.
Does CELTA qualify you to teach adults in accredited language centres in Australia?
In addition to CELTA you need to have a degree (or equivalent) to be eligible to teach in NEAS accredited language centres in Australia.
Can you do the course if you don't have a degree (or equivalent)?
Yes, but you may have restricted employment prospects in Australia.
Is the course demanding?
Yes, very. The full time course requires total commitment for 4 weeks. A typical day is from 9.30am to 5.30pm here at UTS:INSEARCH and then at least 3 hours of lesson preparation/assignments each night.
Can you do the course on-line/by distance?
Cambridge English has introduced on-line delivery of the methodology component of the course. Trainees still need to attend a CELTA centre to complete the teaching practice component. UTS:INSEARCH does not yet offer this option.
Can you gain exemptions for prior learning or experience?
Cambridge English does not allow for this. All candidates must successfully complete all components of the course to be awarded CELTA.
Can CELTA be used for credit transfer to university?
CELTA can be used to negotiate credit transfer to post-graduate courses at a number of universities.
What are the minimum entry requirements?
Candidates must:
Can you do the course if you are not a native speaker of English?
Yes, if you fulfill the entry requirements.
What is the selection procedure?
A written application (hard copy or on-line), followed by an interview which includes a language awareness assessment. Allow 1.5 hours for the interview and assessment.
Is there a cut-off date for applications?
No. However, our advice is to apply as far in advance as possible as numbers are usually limited to 12 trainees per course and some courses are full well before the starting date.
How can you prepare for the interview/course?
Refer to Our Booklist and Language Awareness Excercise page for details.
Is FEE-HELP available for this course?
This is not possible because of the authorisation agreement between UTS:INSEARCH, UTS and Cambridge English.

PCGS Now Grading Modern Coins Year-Round In Mainland China and Adding Reference Numbers
- October 30, 2013
(Shanghai, China) - Professional Coin Grading Service is now grading modern Chinese coins on a year-round basis in mainland China. PCGS opened submission centers in Shanghai, Beijing and Guangzhou this past summer, and is expanding its initially part-time certification services to now accept, authenticate and grade modern coin submissions all-year-round with a quick turnaround time of three weeks.
PCGS also was the first to certify in China one of the first 200 of the new 2014 China silver Panda coins struck at the Shenzhen Guobao Mint on October 11, 2013. It was presented by mint officials as a gift to Ms. Muriel Eymery, PCGS Vice President of International Business Development, who was present at the striking ceremony. On October 13, less than 48 hours after it was presented, the beautiful coin was certified at the PCGS Shanghai Submission Center as First Strike, PCGS MS 69 Secure.
The designer of the 2014 silver Panda, Mr. Rocky Zhou, met Eymery and PCGS Co-Founder and Collectors Universe, Inc. President, Mr. David Hall, while they were in Beijing.
The important expansion to year-round grading services in China underscores the increasing demand for PCGS-certified coins there, according to Mr. Don Willis, PCGS President.
"About 200 collectors signed up for the PCGS Chinese Set Registry during the recent Beijing International Coin Exposition, and submissions from PCGS Authorized Dealers and Collector's Club members in mainland China have been exceptionally strong since we launched on-site grading in mainland China on July 20, 2013," said Mr. Willis.
"So, we are now grading modern Chinese coins dated after 1979 on a year-round basis, and will continue to provide on-site grading of vintage Chinese coins four-times-a-year."
so now they have 3 submission centers, Beijing, Shanghai, and Hong Kong
PCGS officials also have announced another important benefit for collectors and dealers.
"In recognition of the diverse variety of modern Chinese coins made for circulation, all such coins certified by PCGS will now include a reference designation on the holder insert label with the corresponding reference number in the Modern Chinese Circulating Coins Catalogue authored by well-respected numismatist, Mr. Sun Keqin," explained Ms. Muriel Eymery, PCGS Vice President of International Business Development.
Coins conveniently can be submitted in mainland China at the PCGS Submission Centers in Beijing, Guangzhou and Shanghai in person or by mail, or submitted through a network of more than 80 PCGS Authorized Dealers in mainland China

Founder of Quebec and Father of New France , born at Brouage, a village in the province of Saintonge, France, 1570, or according to the "Bibliographie Saintongeoise", 1567; died at Quebec, 25 December, 1635. He was the son of Antoine Champlain, a mariner, and Marguerite Le Roy, and his early education was entrusted to the parish priest. While still a youth Champlain accompanied his father on several voyages, and thus became familiar with the life of a mariner. When about twenty years of age he tendered his services to the Ambrose Maréchal d'Aumont, one of the chief commanders of the Catholic army in the expeditions against the Huguenots. The career of a soldier did not appeal to the youth, whose ambition was to become a navigator. "Navigation", he wrote,has always seemed to me to occupy the first place. By this art we obtain a knowledge of different countries, regions, and realms. By this we attract and bring to our own land all kinds of riches; by it the idolatry of paganism is overthrown, and christianity proclaimed throughout all the regions of the earth. This is the art . . . which led me to explore the coasts of a portion of America, especially those of New France, where I have always desired to see the lily flourish, together with the only religioncatholic,Apostolic and Roman. (Les voyages du Sieur de Champlain, Paris, 1613, Pt. V).
In 1598 Champlain returned to Brouage and made preparations for a voyage to Spain in the interest of his fellow-countrymen. While at Seville he was offered the command of the Saint Julien, one of the vessels fitted out by Spain to oppose the attack made on Porto Rico by the English. It was during his cruise in the Saint Julien that Champlain first suggested the possibility of uniting the Atlantic and the Pacific oceans by cutting through the Isthmus of Panama. Champlain kept a journal of his explorations in the Gulf of Mexico, and after his return to France, in 1601 or 1602, he received a pension and the appointment of geographer to the king. It was in the year 1603 that Champlain first visited the shores of Canada, as the lieutenant of Aymar de Chastes, viceroy under Henry 1V. Pierre de Chauvin had proposed to make a permanent settlement at Tadoussac, but Champlain was not in favour of this place, and, having cast anchor at the foot of Cape Diamond, he considered that the point of Quebec would be the most advantageous site for the future colony. He then proceeded with Pont-Gravé to explore the St. Lawrence as far as Sault Saint Louis, and gathered from the natives such information as he could concerning Lake Erie, Lake Ontario, the Detroit river, Niagara Falls, and the rapids of the St. Lawrence, and returned to France in August, 1603. The next year he followed the fortunes of de Monts' expedition in Acadia, as geographer and historian. The party wintered on the island of Sainte-Croix, and in the spring Champlain explored the country between the island and Port Royal, continuing this work until the fall of 1607. As the lieutenant of de Monts Champlain laid the foundation of the Abitation de Québec on the 3d of July, 1608, and around this modest dwelling arose the little village of Quebec. A year later the founder joined the Hurons in an expedition against the Iroquois whom they defeated. Criticism has been directed against Champlain for having become involved in Indian warfare ; but with a knowledge of the conditions of trade, and the situation of the few Frenchmen at this time, his action seems to have been in the best interests of the settlement. It was during this expedition that Champlain discovered the lake which still bears his name. On his visit to France in 1610 he married Hélène Boullé, then a girl only twelve years of age. According to the marriage settlement the young wife remained with her parents for two years. In 1620 she arrived at Quebec, and remained in the fort until 1624. Madame Champlain was beloved in New France and after her husband's death she founded the Ursuline Convent at Meaux. In the year 1611 Champlain continued his exploration of the St. Lawrence. Within a short distance of Mount Royal, discovered by Jacques Cartier seventy-five years before, he found a place suitable for a future settlement, and ordered the ground to be cleared and prepared for building. La Place Royale , the name given to the site by Champlain, is now in the heart of the commercial portion of the city of Montreal. The island opposite, now a popular summer resort, he named Sainte-Hélène, in honour of his wife. After his return from France in 1613 he set out from Sainte-Hélène with four Frenchmen and an Indian, to explore the region above Sault Saint Louis. In the month of June he came in sight of the River Gatineau, the River Rideau, and the Chaudière Falls, and went as far as Allumette Island. Two years later, on the 14th of August, 1615, he set out from Carhagouha at the head of a small band of Frenchmen to assist the Hurons against the Iroquois. The place of rendezvous was Cahiagué. On their journey they passed by Lake Ouantaron, now known as Lake Simcoe, and proceeded by way of Sturgeon Lake. Following the River Trent they reached the Bay of Quinté, where, says Champlain, "is the entrance to the grand river St. Laurence." Crossing Lake Ontario they penetrated the woods and passed over the River Chouagen or Oswego. This journey had occupied five weeks, and the expedition had endured many hardships before meeting the enemy. During the skirmishes Champlain had been severely wounded in the knee by an arrow, but the pain from the wound he says "was nothing in comparison with that which I endured awhile I was carried, bound and pinioned on the back of one of the savages." The Hurons were forced to retreat, and it was not until the 23d of December that the party again arrived at Cahiague. Champlain had now prepared the way for colonization in New France, but for a time his efforts were fruitless. The merchants were not disposed to assist him in developing the country, seeing that the fur trade held out prospects of large gain. After crossing the ocean several times, however, he induced a few hardy settlers of sterling merit to seek their fortune on the banks of the St. Lawrence . These were the real pioneers of New France. In 1629 the little settlement received a check, when an English fleet under three brothers named Kirke appeared before Quebec, and the fort was compelled to surrender. Under the Treaty of Saint-Germain-en-Laye Quebec was restored to France, and Champlain again took up his residence in the fort, where he died, after having spent forty years of his life in the heroic endeavour to promote the religious and commercial interests of the land of his fathers in the New World.
Champlain published the following works: "Bref discours des choses plus remarquables que Samuel Champlain de Brouage a reconnues aux Indes Occidentales" (1598); "Des sauvages: ou voyage de Sieur de Champlain faite en l'an 1603" (Paris, s.d.); "Les Voyages du Sieur du Champlain Xainctongeois, 1604-1613" (Paris, 1613); "Voyages et Descouvertures faites en la Nouvelle-France, depuis l'année 1615 jusques à la fin de l'année 1618. Par le Sieur de Champlain" (Paris, 1619); "Les Voyages de la Nouvelle France Occidentale, dicte Canada, faits par le Sieur de Champlain Xainctongeois, depuis l'an 1603 jusques en l'annee 1629" (Paris, 1632); "Traité de la marine et du devoir d'un bon marinier. Par le Sieur de Champlain" (s.d.). In 1870 the Abbé Laverdière edited the works of Champlain in six volumes under the title of "Oeuvres de Champlain publiees sous le patronage de l'Universite Laval, par l'Abbé C.H. Laverdière, M.A., professeur d'Histoire a la Faculte des arts et Bibliothécaire de l'Université" (2d ed., Quebec, 1870). While the work was in the press the plates were destroyed by fire and only the proof sheets were saved. This edition does not contain the account of the visits to Mexico and the West Indies. The first volume has an excellent biographical sketch of Champlain by Abbé Laverdière. The Voyages du Sieur de Champlain was published in two volumes (Paris, 1830), and another edition in the same year at the expense of the French Government. The "Voyage to the West Indies and Mexico (1599-1602)" appeared in 1859.
The Catholic Encyclopedia is the most comprehensive resource on Catholic teaching, history, and information ever gathered in all of human history. This easy-to-search online version was originally printed between 1907 and 1912 in fifteen hard copy volumes.
Designed to present its readers with the full body of Catholic teaching, the Encyclopedia contains not only precise statements of what the Church has defined, but also an impartial record of different views of acknowledged authority on all disputed questions, national, political or factional. In the determination of the truth the most recent and acknowledged scientific methods are employed, and the results of the latest research in theology, philosophy, history, apologetics, archaeology, and other sciences are given careful consideration.
No one who is interested in human history, past and present, can ignore the Catholic Church, either as an institution which has been the central figure in the civilized world for nearly two thousand years, decisively affecting its destinies, religious, literary, scientific, social and political, or as an existing power whose influence and activity extend to every part of the globe. In the past century the Church has grown both extensively and intensively among English-speaking peoples. Their living interests demand that they should have the means of informing themselves about this vast institution, which, whether they are Catholics or not, affects their fortunes and their destiny.

Comprehensive DescriptionRead full entry
DescriptionThis sponge normally consists of flask-shaped lobes with terminal openings, resembling a cluster of Scypha ciliata, but with a common basal crust. The colour may be off-white to beige but is often indiscernible due to the amount of silt that is trapped on the surface. This species is similar to Leuconia nivea but L. nivea has a smoother surface and doesn't trap silt.

Andrew Clapp, the barefoot gent who blithely strolled out to left field during Friday night's Giants game to offer an in-game wazzup to Barry Bonds may have been conversing about the pressures of organized athletics.
It strongly appears that Clapp, described by San Francisco police as a 24-year-old tourist from Fargo, N.D., is a former player on the Minnesota State University at Moorhead men's soccer team. The soccer player Clapp, who last suited up in 2006, is listed as a native of Fargo as well. Moorhead is only about a mile from Fargo (as any fan of the Coen brothers knows well).
Calls and e-mails to the university were not answered on Saturday. Calls to the San Francisco Police were not immediately returned and attempts to reach Clapp were not successful.
Yet the photographic evidence seems hard to refute.
Here's the Clapp who met with Barry in a Chonicle photo:
And here's the soccer player:
With media reports on roid rage and Bonds' illegitimacy to carry Hank Aaron's jock spawning fears that the Giants left fielder may become a marked man as he approaches Hammerin' Hank's record 755 homers, Friday night's encounter was almost charmingly benign.
"He just wanted to shake my hand," Bonds told MLB.com in the hallway outside the clubhouse after the Giants dropped a 4-3, 10-inning decision. "I told him to come with me so he didn't get into any more trouble."
Bonds put his arm around Clapp and calmly walked him off the field. If Barry was shaken by the incident, he didn't show it. He went on to hit a game-tying home run shortly thereafter, his 750th.
Clapp was taken to San Francisco County jail, where he was charged with public intoxication and trespassing, both misdemeanors. He apparently spent the night in jail and his whereabouts could not be ascertained on Saturday. -- Joe Eskenazi

A Date With Raitt
News flash, gentlemen: The reason your significant other has been giving you the silent treatment is because you bungled Valentine's Day by staying home and watching WWE Raw. Surprising your lady with a night out would be a good idea, and a smart choice is Fridays Bonnie Raitt concert. From her early days as a bottleneck/slide guitar virtuoso to her current status as Rock ´n Roll Hall of Famer (and nine-time Grammy winner), Raitt needs no introduction. 2006 marks 35 years since the release of her eponymous debut album. Over the years, Raitt has become a true renaissance woman, exploring blues, R&B, rock, pop, jazz, and world music styles; surviving the highs and lows of fame and obscurity; and working tirelessly in activism. Indeed, at an age when many of her peers are nearing retirement, Raitt seems to be hitting her stride. Not bad for a woman who never planned to go into music. Raitt hits the stage at 8 p.m. at the Mizner Park Amphitheatre (590 Plaza Real, Boca Raton). Tickets cost $45 to $65. Call 561-750-1668, or visit www.miznerparkamp.com.

Anyone with an interest in discovering new fiction in Ireland will already be familiar withDeclan Meade. Tireless and dedicated, unassuming but committed, he is a literary champion of old-school generosity and the publisher/editor and co-founder of The Stinging Fly.
The Fly is now a literary journal in format, with each issue averaging more than 120 pages. Meade, with characteristic modesty agrees: "Yes, it has become a bound journal but I still think of it as a magazine."
It's been 15 years since Meade introduced his forum for new writing. "I had been writing and was in the company of other aspiring writers. I could see that a place was needed, an outlet. I was 26, but the first issue came out in March 1998, when I was 27," he says.

But surely all the Presidents 'men'; could be pounding this home if only while inhaling on all the media interviews'.
Come on folks out there; this is worse than criminal. . .hold these Dems r e s p o n s i b l e!
So, what's the mystery?"who drew up the plans" --"the plot authored by aides to ......"
What's the mystery?
The mystery is why they are not hung by their toes in the public square!
Millions of American tax dollars wasted on a non event.
Leave it to low life power hungry democrats to come up with an anti-American lie like this. How many of the military personal are they willing to see dead to regain their power, anyway?
Democrats, Al Quata, and Hammas are all made from the same mold.
Insight has pieced together how the Democrats' fishing expedition worked. According to insiders, Mellon, a former Clinton administration official, is part of a network of liberal operatives within the Pentagon and CIA who reportedly are seeking to discredit and politically disable some of the nation's most important architects of the war on terrorism...
The plot was authored by whom...?
This is a critical point -- these leftist moles have to be identified and removed from positions of authority within the Administration.

While fans were disappointed about the delay, many will be able to get some hands-on time with Gears of War 3 before long -- Epic has announced a multiplayer beta, complete with dedicated servers.
The servers should help out with the poor matchmaking many have complained about in the past besides decreasing lag, while the beta will do what betas do -- make a great game even better. In the long run, we're sure Gears players will thank Epic for it -- a little patience goes a long way, sirs.
The beta is expected to arrive about April 2011. More details will arrive before too long, so check back.

Here's how RW members rated this race in the past (478 votes).
In short: Monster!In full: I'd sum it up with this: the real problem with most large road marathons is the finish; they mollycoddle you and ply you with drinks before and during the race, but at the end there are so many people that they really must get you away from the finish as fast as they can, unless you've actually collapsed. Trouble is this is really the only time where you really need a bit of care.The Loch Ness Marathon, on the other hand, is just the right size to be able to lay on a big tent with hot soup, hot food, chairs, tables and drinks where you can warm up and savour the moment with other runners. Brilliant.The whole thing feels like it's been organised by someone who actually knows just what it's like running a marathon, and that's quite unusual. Will most certainly be back.Date of review: October 7, 2012
In short: Scenic race that will challenge your toughness...In full: Scenic race with some added toughness. Did a PB despite the hills. Organisation was the best I've seen. Tshirt was amazing and so was the post run food. I will definitely be back again for this one. This is, by far, my favourite marathon!Date of review: October 6, 2012
In short: Excellent dayIn full: Excellent day got a pb fantastic course stunning scenery (2nd to the Grand Canyon Marathon)plus had a great weeks holiday Date of review: October 6, 2012
In short: Spectacular race, very friendly, even a good technical t shirtIn full: The race lived up to its billing, with spectacular views over the hills as we came up to the start on the bus, and even delivered perfect sunny conditions. I got the bus from Drumnadrochit, which meant a slightly later pick up time and a trip round the other side of the Loch, which was good. Great atmosphere on the bus, and just enough time to get to the start line after handing in my bag. Flew down the first mile and carried on at pace, passing the half way in close to a HM PB, but then reality kicked in with the 2 mile hill at 18 miles. Had a good value massage in the tent afterwards and a very welcome bowl of curry, along with a technical shirt that I will actually use and a nice medal. Really good value.The only thing I'd change is the registration. As I wasn't staying in Inverness, just coming in to pick up the number, which took 1 minute and could have been posted, was a bit of a mission.Date of review: October 4, 2012
In short: A very special raceIn full: This was my second marathon, VLM in 2010 being my first. Organisers of this event have certainly got it nailed. Pre race registration easy, the coaches up to the start all on time and leave promptly and things to do for spectators. We put together a 7 day break around this event with another couple and I will just list a few pointers below which you may find helpfull. Firstly, drive to Inverness, I drove from Norwich, very long way and overnighted in Berwick upon Tweed. If you decide on flying or train you are limited in Inverness as to what you want to do for a few days. However, Inverness is a very nice city. Loch Ness and Urqhart Castle are a must and we also drove over to Fort William to ride the Jacobite train along the most scenic railway journey in the world. Also, the Castle Pub, real ales, real food, the ales after the race!!! Back to the race! Having done VLM as my first marathon, the crowds, as expected are in not in numbers here. For the first 25 miles you are on your own apart from the odd house you pass with people cheering. Fantastic scenery, from the word go until Inverness, you do literally follow the Loch, 90% of the way. Sureal start up in the highlands as you are Pipped over the start by a band. Excellent value for money, great medal and Techincial T Shirt. Reviews say it can be fast, which I will agree with to a point, but there are one or two tricky steep climbs early on, one in particular at the 6 mile mark, where I saw people walking. Another long climb, not so steep is at 18 miles. I was plesed with my performance to a point, ran 20.5 miles without stopping until an old football knee injury cut in. Walk and and ran the last 5.5miles, hopeful of breaking the VLM PB, but failed by 3 minutes. Lastly, all I can say is, if you want a marathon which is totally different then do it. I would like to say, that I will probably do it again, but living so far away I probably never will. A special, special race....... Date of review: October 4, 2012
In short: Beautiful views but a bit lonelyIn full: Great race, great vistas, great weather!!!I got a PB, very happy with dipping under 3h50 on the undulating course.Badged as the "friendliest" marathon but in my opinion it isn't. There is virtually no crowd apart from the last mile due to its location. I love the support of the crowd so this was a bit of a downside for me in an otherwise great day.I'll stop moaning now.Date of review: October 4, 2012
In short: This continues to be one of my favourite marathons. Organisation, scenery and local support is second to none. The course isn't the flattest but I've managed to get 3 of my best marathon times on this course. I'll be back next year.Date of review: October 3, 2012
In short: Complete one off of a race but be prepared and not to be taken lightlyIn full: The start was like nothing I have ever or will ever experience again as mountainous scenery was unreal.Although I had done some hill training reckon a few cross training sessions would have benefitted as the undulations came back to haunt me late on (20m+) . Organisation was spot on as everyone involved played their part in making everything run so smoothly on the day. Was nice to see runners from all over turn out for this one , was on my to do list and may well come back one day and have another go . Date of review: October 3, 2012
In short: A great event, well organised, friendly race...just don't get too carried away in the first few miles!In full: A PB for me - HURRAH! It was worth a turn of the head to look back at some amazing undulating (key word!) hills (behind me!!), the crisp, autumnal weather made it perfect! A couple of ascents which certainly challenged my, by then fatigued legs (ouch!), The drinks/ gel stops, marshals, support at the end - guy on the bike(!?!) for a lot of the the route - THANK YOU for your support! ALL good! The only thing I would say - next year can someone turn down the blower on the last half mile home stretch!!!!!? That wind was mean! ;0) Date of review: October 3, 2012
In short: AmazingIn full: If you like spectactular views this is the marathon for you.I am an experienced marathon runner, this being my thirtieth (including multi day events and ultras). As a marathon this now has to be one of my favorites.Is it a fast race? I would disagree with most people and say this race has PB potential, being my second fastest marathon. The start is downhill, and any hills you climb later are short and steep, but are more than compensated by long slow descents. The wind also pushed me along! The gels, drinks and water were very generous, the marshals were first class. The end was fantastic, curry, soup, bagpipes and a beer tent! The only downer I suppose was lack of toilets at the start, but us men can normally make 'other arrangements' so its not a big deal.Even if this is not a fast race, do it anyway. Its still quite small so not massive running crowds, Inverness is pretty and you dont need taxis all weekend, and we shouldnt just do the flattest course just to get a PB. Should we?

The Incredible Story Of Walmart's Expansion From Five & Dime To Global Megacorp
Walmart employs over 2.1 million people. There are 8,500 stores around the world. More than 200 million customers visit the store every week.
But less than 50 years ago there was just a five-and-dime store, and Sam Walton was an entrepreneur who couldn't find backers for his dream of a discount mega chain.
Walton recognized that selling for less, meant selling more and making more. He also focused on small rural market, places that most people ignored.
As much as business owners everywhere resent the price-cutting giant, its own startup story is the stuff of legends.

South Korean banks' efforts to improve their funding structure appear to be gaining traction. According to a recent report by the country's Financial Supervisory Service (FSS), Korean banks' appear to be making significant headway in their endeavours to alter their external debt profile. Domestic banks have not only been paring back on their foreign-currency borrowings, but more importantly, the share of short-term borrowings has been declining. As seen in the accompanying chart, short-term borrowings now account for 18.1% of banks total foreign currency-denominated borrowings, compared to 50.1% in 2008 as banks continued to borrow long-term to pay off short-term debt. Additionally, banks have been widening their pool of lenders while also trimming their borrowings from lenders in Europe (see chart) and increasing their borrowings from Asia and North America.
|Boding Well For Banks
|South Korea - Domestic Banks' Foreign Debt Profile
The improvement in Korean banks' funding structure chimes with the country's endeavours to scale back on its dependence on foreign capital, which, is one of the root causes of the volatility that the country's financial markets face in times of economic uncertainty. To be sure, as at end-2012, short-term external borrowings accounted for 32% of the country's gross external debt, down materially from a 2008-peak of 52%. From a foreign exchange perspective, while we remain bearish on the domestic currency, the structural improvement in the debt structure suggests to us that we are unlikely to witness a major selloff in the Korean won.
|A Structural Positive
|South Korea - Gross External Debt, US$bn
Broadly speaking, we believe the fundamental change in the country's debt structure bodes well for the economy going forward. Such is the case that this has boosted the attractiveness of Korean government debt, particularly by overseas sovereign investors, which, if sustained, would augur positively for the Korean won and by extension, Korea's all-important export engine.
While these developments augur a relatively sanguine outlook on Korean banks in the longer-term, we hold a less positive view on the banking sector in the near-term. The domestic real estate market is unlikely to witness any meaningful recovery in the quarters ahead and will consequently adversely impact banking profitability, given that mortgage loans comprise a significant portion of banks' total loan book. Additionally, given our expectations of further monetary easing, we expect banks' net interest margins to face further compression. Loan growth is expected to remain tepid on the back of a slowing economy and weak private consumption.

From the album
Wide Eyed
By Danny Fox Trio
Fiona's Comments
Do you ever wonder where Gershwin would sit if he was dishing out the ditties in the 21st Century? Might he be a Fox populating an orchestra with more Beests? Providing a whole new food chain of potential samples to go with bigger words than "B*tc£a$$" hip bop? #stilldreaming
About the Album
"Sterling" is the opening track from the NYC-based Danny Fox Trio's second album. Since their critically acclaimed 2011 debut, The One Constant (Songlines), the group has continued to push the boundaries of the classic piano trio format. Falling somewhere between jazz and chamber music, the album's eleven pieces are replete with sonic surprises: quirky rhythms, jaunty yet catchy melodies, haunting harmonies, and out-of-the-box arrangements that showcase the capabilities of each member of the group, all while maintaining tuneful melodies.

Chris van Voorst van Beest: bass;

Breakthrough Artificial Pancreas Study Welcomed As New Data Reveals UK People With Type 1 Diabetes Have "Shockingly High" Number Of Hypos
Hollywood actor Jeremy Irvine, who lives with type 1 diabetes, hails artificial pancreas.
In a world first, British children with type 1 diabetes have successfully been entrusted to use pioneering artificial pancreas technology all by themselves at home overnight - without the careful supervision of expert researchers.
The breakthrough trial, detailed today in the journal Diabetes Care, comes as type 1 diabetes charity JDRF reveals UK people living with the condition are experiencing a "shockingly high" average of ten hypos a week - laying bare the urgent need for the artificial pancreas to become an accessible reality.
The University of Cambridge-devised artificial pancreas promises to dramatically improve quality of life of people with type 1 diabetes, which typically develops in childhood. The latest trial, coordinated by the University and funded by JDRF, has shown for the first time globally that unsupervised use of the artificial pancreas overnight can be safe - while also providing exciting benefits.
Participants, all aged between 12 and 18, saw improved blood glucose control during the trial, experiencing fewer nights with hypoglycaemic episodes, generally known as hypos. A hypo occurs when the blood glucose level of someone living with type 1 diabetes falls dangerously low. Without proper treatment, it may cause unconsciousness and even death.
The figure of ten hypos per week has emerged through a first ever real-time information haul of more than 10,000 UK residents with type 1 diabetes, released to JDRF from the mySugr app. It follows the recent revelation that nine per cent of all hospital admissions for children and young people with diabetes are due to hypos*.
All previous artificial pancreas trials, in hospitals and in home environments, have seen researchers strictly monitor patients. News of the successful unsupervised trial has had a positive response from UK celebrities that live with type 1 diabetes.
Hollywood actor Jeremy Irvine, who is a JDRF supporter, has lived with type 1 diabetes since the age of six. He said: "When the chance came for me to take part in early artificial pancreas trials a few years ago, I jumped at the opportunity. I wanted to play my own very small part in moving the artificial pancreas closer to reality. I'm really excited to hear of this latest progress - the scientists behind it are my heroes."
Television presenter Dominic Littlewood gave his reaction to the statistic showing that UK people with type 1 diabetes are having 10 hypos a week. He said: "I have lived with type 1 diabetes for almost 40 years. When you do the maths, 10 per week means I may have had 20,000 hypos in my lifetime. That's more than many people have had hot dinners. It highlights the challenge that this life-long condition represents."
He added: "Worrying about hypos - let alone actually having one - is a daily stress for anyone with this condition. I experienced my worst hypo during the night in a hotel room just over 10 years ago. I found myself crawling along my hotel room floor, before finally being hospitalised. It nearly killed me. That's why JDRF's progress on the artificial pancreas means a lot to me."
Sky News presenter Stephen Dixon, who was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes when he was 17, said: "I've always refused to let type 1 diabetes hold me back. But minimising hypos does take considerable effort. I always carry Glucogel or a snack around with me in case I feel the symptoms of a hypo come on - which has happened when I've been on air. The artificial pancreas is very exciting technology. I look forward to the time when I can use one myself as part of day-to-day life."
Dr Roman Hovorka from the University of Cambridge is leading the UK effort to develop an effective artificial pancreas. As principal researcher on the trial, he said: "The study is an important stepping stone for the wider use of an artificial pancreas. We have shown that overnight home use is feasible and beneficial - allowing people to live their life more freely."
He added: "The artificial pancreas is expected to transform the treatment of type 1 diabetes and we have proven that this promise holds. The success of this trial means that larger and longer studies are already in the pipeline."
Katharine Barnard, from the Human Development and Health Academic Unit at the University of Southampton, worked with Dr Hovorka on the trial to evaluate psychosocial impact. She said: "Hypoglycaemia - particularly at night - is a common fear among those living with type 1 diabetes and a major obstacle in achieving optimal blood glucose levels. The findings from this study are positive and are certainly worth investigating further."
She added: "Reassurance, confidence and improved diabetes control are just some of the psychological and physical benefits that patients may witness as artificial pancreas technology continues to develop."
Karen Addington, is UK Chief Executive of JDRF, the type 1 diabetes charity which funded Dr Hovorka's study. She said: "Type 1 diabetes is a challenging and complex condition that requires constant management every day. At JDRF we remain focused on improving lives until we find the cure."
She added: "Hypos are what people living with type 1 diabetes hate most. Ten hypos a week is a shockingly high figure, demonstrating just how much we need the artificial pancreas to become an accessible reality. Thankfully, the results of this latest artificial pancreas study are really exciting."
Notes to Editors
About type 1 diabetes:
- Type 1 diabetes is a chronic condition that has a life-long impact on those diagnosed with it and their families
- Type 1 diabetes is an autoimmune condition which cannot be prevented, and is not linked to lifestyle factors such as diet and exercise
- People with type 1 diabetes currently rely on multiple insulin injections or pump infusions every day just to stay alive
- A child diagnosed with it at the age of five faces up to 19,000 injections and 50,000 finger prick blood tests by the time they are 18
- It normally strikes children and stays with them for the rest of their lives
About the artificial pancreas: The artificial pancreas aims to replicate the insulin-producing functions of a healthy pancreas. It is designed to provide exactly the right amount of insulin to the body, exactly when it's needed. The University of Cambridge team in charge of this study only saw the findings from the trial when patients submitted their data in weekly intervals over three weeks - making it the first unsupervised trial.
