BALTIMORE, Feb. 20 (UPI) -- Retired Gen. Alexander Haig Jr., a top official to three U.S. presidents, died Saturday at age 85 at Johns Hopkins Medical Center in Baltimore, officials said.
Haig was admitted to Johns Hopkins Jan. 28 with an infection and died at 1:30 a.m. Saturday, hospital spokesman Gary Stephenson told CNN.
Haig, a four-star Army general, served as commander of NATO and secretary of state under Ronald Reagan, and in 1988 ran unsuccessfully for the Republican presidential nomination. Haig also served as a senior adviser in the administrations of Presidents Gerald Ford and Richard Nixon.
Haig gained notoriety in 1981 after President Reagan was shot and wounded and then Vice President George H.W. Bush was en route from Texas to Washington.
"As of now, I am in control here, in the White House, pending the return of the vice president," Haig declared shortly after the shooting.
Haig was born in Bala Cynwyd, Pa., a suburb of Philadelphia, and attended the University of Notre Dame for two years before transferring to the U.S. Military Academy in 1944. After graduation in 1947, he served in Japan and led combat units in Korea and in Vietnam.

Packing right for the rugged outdoors takes careful planning and plenty of handy pockets. Although you should be prepared for sun and heat, the weather and average temperature on African safaris can vary significantly, with nighttime lows in the 50's. We recommend packing in smart layers, with a base wardrobe of breathable khakis and tans, to let you stalk wildlife incognito. Add to that a smart pocket-full vest or coat, cargo pants with zip-off legs, and –very important – a good sun hat.

Wiltjer, a 6-foot-9, 239-pounder, was a Top 25 recruit coming out of Beaverton, Ore.
He averaged 4.8 points a game during his freshman season, which saw Kentucky win the national championship. Last season, he averaged 10.2 points and 4.2 rebounds a game.
I am sure he is leaving because next year's lottery is showing up in Lexington this fall.
Can the Buckeyes find room for this guy?

A cautionary tale
Dear owner of a white Jeep Cherokee:
Yesterday, July 11th, you were traveling west on Lehigh Station Road at approximately 11:15am when a young girl and boy mistakenly started across the road at the crosswalk by the RH High School. You were traveling at a safe speed and were paying full attention while driving (not texting, talking on your cell or any of a number of other distracting things) so you were able to stop quickly and at a safe distance, avoiding what could have been a deadly accident. For all of that I owe you a debt of gratitude that I know I can never repay: those were my children.
You see, as much as my husband and I had coached them, warned them, quizzed them and more, they didn't look long or hard enough to see you coming. As you might guess, I was there in my car watching them to make sure they got across OK and saw the whole thing play out. Once they were safely on the other side and I could get to them we had quite a discussion (ok, I admit it, I yelled at them) about the danger of what had just happened.
Thank you again for doing it all right. Thank you so very much.
/s/ Scared witless mom
I titled this "A cautionary tale" because what happened yesterday can happen so easily on any day; a child or even a motorcyclist can appear out of nowhere and rely on your full attention and quick reflexes to avoid tragedy. We're routinely reminded that there's a no cell phone or texting law but how many people choose to ignore it? How many times have you let your attention wander or looked a little too long at something in the car or along the side of the road? That's why I'm urging you to do what the driver in the white Jeep did, be watchful and attentive.
Let's be careful out there.

The inaugural Youth TechCamp Bangladesh launched on September 16, and Dhaka has been buzzing ever since! Youth TechCamp Bangladesh was the latest in a series of interactive trainings around the world for alumni of State's youth exchange programs. In Bangladesh, 30 alumni (ages 17-19) from our Youth Exchange and Study (YES) program participated, learning how to use technology and social media to impact their communities for the better.
Organized in collaboration with U.S. Embassy Dhaka and iEARN, the three-day program featured lecturers from Citycell, Change Makers, and other Bangladeshi technology organizations. Presenters covered topics including social activism, citizen journalism, and digital storytelling -- all with an eye toward the critical role that connective technologies play in community activism. Dr. Imtiaz Ahmed, who teaches International Relations at Dhaka University, was a particularly popular speaker. He led a session called "How to Build Critical Mass/How to Go Viral" that participants loved -- several said that he inspired them and taught them how to carry forward their ideas for real change in Bangladesh .
Even though the youth participants use various social media platforms in their everyday lives, learning how to leverage those tools to create real-world impact was a new and exciting challenge. After the workshops, participants of the Youth TechCamp divided into three groups to plan their own digital projects, leveraging social media tools to develop community-oriented solutions.
By the end of Youth TechCamp Bangladesh, participants had learned tangible skills that would carry over into whatever professional field they choose. The young people were empowered to code their own websites, establish a successful presence on Facebook, and tell stories effectively online. They left inspired to use their new skills to, in the words of one participant, "build bridges between communities in order to make them work as one, and develop networks between citizens." Each recognized the incredible potential technology has in creating more effective campaigns on various issues and lasting social change. We can't wait to see what the group does next!
Check out these fabulous pictures from Youth TechCamp Bangladesh here and join the conversation on Facebook.

Nokia Corp., the world's largest maker of phones that struggles to sustain its market share, is projected to release its first phone powered by an Intel Atom system-on-chip as well as MeeGo operating system (OS). The phone is said to feature a high quality camera and is expected to be Nokia's highest-performing smartphone.
Nokia N9 will feature Intel Atom system-on-chip with 1.2GHz clock-speed, 12MP camera, 4" OLED-type screen and perhaps LTE networks support, according to a news-story by Processori.fi web-site that cites market rumours. The smartphone is projected to utilize MeeGo operating system, which was jointly developed by Intel and Nokia. The model N9 is projected to be launched at the Mobile World Congress, which will take place on 14 – 17 February in Barcelona, Spain.
It is unclear which Atom-based SoC powers the smartphone, but it is likely that the novelty is based on a Moorestown chip also known as Atom Z600-series.
Moorestown comprises of Atom Z600-series system-on-a-chip, code-named "Lincroft", which integrates the 45nm processor, Intel GMA 600 graphics core (OpenGL ES 2.0, OpenGL 2.1, OpenVG 1.1, 400MHz), 32-bit LPDDR1/DDR2 memory controller and video encode/decode onto a single chip; Intel Platform Controller Hub MP20 codenamed "Langwell", which supports a range of I/O ports to connect with wireless, storage, and display components in addition to incorporating several board level functions; and dedicated Mixed Signal IC (MSIC) code-named "Briertown".
Building on the C6 state in the original Intel Atom processor design, the Atom Z600-series SoC incorporates new ultra-low-power states (S0i1 and S0i3), which take the SoC to 100mW. At the platform level, Intel implemented a new, fine grain OS power management approach that manages the idle and active power states across all aspects of the system based on usage scenarios. This software-managed technique applies aggressive power and clock gating across the SoC's power islands and system voltage rails. Additionally, Intel used a new high-K 45nm LP SoC process to support a multiple transistor design with a range of high-voltage I/Os.
Collectively these new chips deliver significantly lower power including >50x
If the rumours about the Nokia N9 are true, this will be the first smartphone based on Intel Atom chip, the first cell phone powered by MeeGo operating system and one of the first handsets supporting 4G LTE networks.
Considering the fact that the unofficial information comes from a Finnish web-site, which potentially may have access to Nokia insiders (Nokia is based in Finland), it has a high probability to be credible. Nonetheless, at present it should be considered as a rumour.
Intel and Nokia did not comment on the news-story.

Interactive Travel Map | Text the Secretary | Behind the Scenes PhotosSecretary Clinton's op-ed, "Women Are Drivers of Positive Change," appeared today in South Africa's City Press.
When I first visited the Victoria Mxenge co-operative in Cape Town in 1997, I met homeless women working to transform an empty patch of land into a new community.
They pooled their savings and microloans, bought shovels, poured concrete and built new homes for themselves and their children. In 1997, there were just 18 homes. I returned a year later and saw 104. Yesterday I found a village of thousands of homes where once there had been only dust and despair.
The determination and entrepreneurial spirit of the women of Victoria Mxenge underscore a basic truth: empowering women is key to global progress and prosperity. This is not just a moral imperative – it is an economic one as well. When women are accorded their rights and afforded equal opportunities in education, health care and gainful employment, they drive social and economic progress. When they are marginalised and mistreated, as is the case in too many places in Africa today, prosperity is impossible.
This week I am traveling across Africa to highlight the continent's promise and possibility. Empowering women is a crucial step towards seizing the economic opportunities of this new century. No nation can succeed in spreading prosperity or increasing security if it leaves out or leaves behind more than half of the population.
Our broader agenda for progress and economic growth also includes increasing trade, implementing development strategies that build capacity and opportunity, and advancing responsible governance that rejects corruption, enforces the rule of law and delivers results for people.
South Africa's leadership is essential in advancing this agenda across Africa.
South Africans have many reasons to be proud on this National Women's Day. President Jacob Zuma recently appointed Gill Marcus as governor of the South African Reserve Bank. Across the country, women are leading small and medium-sized businesses that are the foundation of economic progress.
And South Africa is home to dynamic entrepreneurs such as Sally Marengo, who started the KPL Aluminium and Zinc Die-Casting factory which now manufactures car parts in Bedfordview, and Lillian Masebenza, who created the Mhani Gingi Social Entrepreneurial Networks to turn traditional stokvels into collectives that help disadvantaged women generate income and start new businesses.
The women of South Africa have helped to make the country an economic anchor for the continent. They are an example of what can be accomplished through civic responsibility, commitment to the rule of law and a diversified and inclusive economy.
Across Africa, women are driving positive change. Kenya's Wangari Maathai has launched an international movement on behalf of environmental stewardship. Liberia's Ellen Johnson Sirleaf has taken the reins of a nation once gripped by civil war and proven that women can lead at the highest levels.
But in many parts of Africa, and indeed around the world, the picture is not so encouraging. Laws deny women the right to own property, access credit or make their own choices within their marriage.
Women comprise the majority of the world's poor, unfed and unschooled. They are subjected to rape as a tactic of war, so-called "honour" killings, maiming, trafficking, child marriages, genital mutilation and other violent, degrading practices.
This week I will visit survivors of sexual and gender-based violence used as a tool of conflict in eastern Congo, where women have been victimised on an unimaginable scale. Some 1 100 rapes are reported each month, with an average of 36 women and girls raped every day.
In the face of such depravity the world must speak with one clear voice: this violence must end.
The United States is working to develop partnerships across Africa to ensure that the rights of women are protected and respected, and that they have the opportunity to pursue an education, find a good job, live in safety and fulfill their own potential.
President Barack Obama and I believe in Africa's promise. Too often, the world views Africa only through the lens of poverty, disease and conflict. But we see a continent of opportunity, home to 800 million people – more than half of them women – ready to build, create and thrive.
National Women's Day commemorates the 20,000 South African women who marched for justice on August 9,1956. Fearless, they sang an anthem that has become a rallying cry: "Wathint'a bafazi, Wathint' imbokodo" (You Strike a Woman, You Strike a Rock). Women can be the rock on which a freer, safer and more prosperous Africa is built.
They just need the opportunity.
Grace in Canada writes:
If this truly reflects Clinton's belief, a salute to her. Equality in the world, not just to women, but to all race/ethnical group & countries.
Helen in Pennsylvania writes:
I was so proud of our Secretary of State when I read this story about how she visited the same housing projects when she was first lady. She is truly a remarkable woman.
Katalin in Hungary writes:
I think the economy of african countries like Nigeria can be developed, if new technique is developed and give up old ways of trade like exporting crude materials and importing products. United States partnership is crucial, but not with militant governments who exploiting the richness of the country in raw materials using it for their own purpose while leaving the majority of the population in poverty. So United States should empower poor women and families to help create democracy.
Amy in South Carolina writes:
I am so proud of Secretary Clinton, and the work she is doing. What a blessing she is, not only to U.S. citizens, but to citizens of the world. Her work on behalf of women and children is outstanding.
Secretary Clinton, you have my greatest respect.
Rosemary in New Jersey writes:
Hillary and these women are awesome! I know that stops like this are her favorite part of her travel. She's so outgoing. They love her! (So do I!)
S. writes:
Positive discrimination the only real way to have women in true leading positions worldwide as it needs more than a generation to change the way men look at women with lesser muscular power.
Anna in Washington, DC writes:
Secretary Clinton, Thank you for your essay, and for advocating for women and children.
Please continue to stand firm against gender violence in the Congo. The women there need voices like yours and the action of people in government and all people with conscience.
Sukoluhle in South Africa writes:
very true, women need to be empowered in all walks of life after all a home is not so homely wtout a mother, our home changed when mom passed on. she was a loving and hard working woman.
Siranga in Uganda writes:
i am happy at long last,a high goverment representative from America has realised that Africa as a continent has oppotunities,mrs Clinton should do more to enhance democracy,rule of law and accountability in the African continent,when we talk of women rights its about believing in the rule of law and advocacy,for instance in Uganda women rights have been entrenched in the constitution above all there is the 1.5 points given to girl child to access university education,Rule of law has to take precedence and thats the message Kenyan leaders have to be told by the American goverment has ideal state for democracy.

This recipe makes more meringue than you'll need for 8 servings. You can pipe the extra into sticks and bake them to eat as a snack.
Active time: 45 min Start to finish: 2 1/2 hr
- Yield
- Makes 8
- 3 large egg whites
- 3/4 cup superfine granulated sugar
- 1/3 cup sliced almonds, lightly toasted , cooled, and coarsely crushed
- Special equipment: parchment paper; a pastry bag fitted with a 3/8-inch plain tip
- Preheat oven to 225°F.
- Beat whites with a pinch of salt in a bowl with an electric mixer at high speed until they hold soft peaks. Add 1/2 cup superfine sugar a little at a time, beating, then continue to beat at high speed until whites hold stiff, glossy peaks, 1 to 3 minutes. Fold in remaining 1/4 cup sugar gently but thoroughly.
- Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper. Put a small dab of meringue on all 4 corners of each sheet, then turn paper over, pressing on corners to adhere parchment to baking sheets.
- Spoon meringue into pastry bag. You will be making 4 lattice cookies on each sheet, so work in 1 quadrant for each: Pipe 4 (4-inch-long) diagonal lines, about 5/8 inch apart, then pipe 4 (4-inch-long) parallel lines diagonally across original 4 lines, 5/8 inch apart, to form a lattice. Make 3 more lattice meringues on same baking sheet, about 1 inch apart. Sprinkle half of almonds over meringues. Pipe 4 more lattice meringues on second baking sheet in same manner, then sprinkle with remaining almonds.
- Bake meringues in upper and lower thirds of oven, switching position of sheets halfway through baking, until crisp and pale golden, about 1 hour total.
- Cool meringues completely on sheets on racks, about 1 hour, then carefully peel from parchment.
Cooks' note:
• Meringues can be made 3 days ahead and kept in an airtight container at room temperature.

Wells Fargo Asset Management is in the market for a fund of hedge funds business with assets under management of up to $12bn.
Chief executive Mike Niedermeyer said: "We are keen to provide advice on alternatives allocation. It is the thing our clients request most often."
He said he would look at businesses with as little as $5bn under management.
Wells Fargo is best known for its traditional equity and bond funds. Niedermeyer said he preferred to access skill in hedge fund selection and allocation, rather than invest directly in managers.
The hedge fund industry faces a number of headwinds, with assets managed in the eurozone set to drop by an eighth over the next four years, according to Ernst & Young.
Niedermeyer said he expected charges to drop in the sector, including a fall in fund of hedge fund performance fees. Don Steinbrugge, managing partner of hedge fund marketer Agecroft Partners, believes that pension schemes are set to invest more in hedge funds. But he agreed that manager fees were coming under pressure.
He said investors would back funds with good reputations: "Performance is of secondary consideration to perceived safety and a reduction of headline risk."
Damien Loveday, global head of hedge funds at consultant Towers Watson, said: "Investors think fees are way too high, and they are talking about it more than ever before." He added that costs were going up because of regulation and prime broking charges.
Jim McCaughan, chief executive of Principal Global Investments, told Financial News he wanted to buy a fund of hedge funds last April, although he has yet to confirm a deal.
One investment banker said: "Wells Fargo and Principal have been looking for a bit. But they've got some competition. US buyers don't have the same hang-ups with the sector as the Europeans."
Private equity firm KKR recently bought $8bn fund of hedge fund manager Prisma Capital Partners. Franklin Templeton, a traditional asset manager, bought a majority stake in K2 Advisors, a $9bn fund of funds firm, last week.
One analyst said she expected Franklin to use K2 to offer strategy advice to clients: "People will want to use the '40 Act legislation [1940 Investment Company Act], which can offer retail investors a wrapper similar to Europe's Ucits."

Interactive Travel Map | Text the Secretary | Behind the Scenes PhotosYesterday, Secretary Clinton visited the Liberian National Policy Academy, where she said:"Thank you very much, and it is an absolute honor for me to be here this afternoon at this national police training academy, and to see the future of Liberia before my eyes. I want to thank the special representative of the secretary general, Representative Loej, for her outstanding work as head of the UN's mission in Liberia. And I especially appreciated those very important remarks about the progress that has been made cannot be taken for granted; there is still much work ahead of us.
I also wish to thank the inspector general of the police. I thank you, Inspector General, for your leadership. And to all the ministers who are here, and especially to President Sirleaf – her outstanding work as the president of this country over the last three and a half years has focused very specifically on making sure that we've had security in Liberia.
Now President Sirleaf and the special representative and the inspector general and all of the ministers could have worked very hard through trying to create a Liberian national police force. But unless the men and women of Liberia stepped forward to serve their country, it would not have happened. You know that maintaining law and order is a critical element in sustaining peace and stability. Your fellow countrymen and women, and particularly the children of Liberia, need you. They need you not only to protect them and to provide security; they need you to help heal the wounds left by 14 years of conflict. They need you to help renew the promise of Liberia.
The challenges you face are even greater, because as you know, in the past, some elements of Liberia's police force betrayed the public's trust. When President Obama visited Ghana last month, he spoke about the Africans taking control of their destiny and striving for the peace and security necessary for progress. You are living examples of President Obama's words. For too long in Liberia, the police instilled fear. Today, you must fight fear. For too long, the police undermined the rule of law. Today, you must oppose it.
I can imagine how difficult the training has been. In fact, training professional police officers is one of the hardest jobs to do in post-conflict situations. But you have been given some of the best training available. And it is important that you recognize the investment that has been made in you not only by your fellow Liberians, but by people who believe in the role you will play in securing a positive, prosperous, peaceful, progressive future.
President Sirleaf reported to us on your progress when she came to Washington earlier this year. And we talked about ways the United States could continue to strengthen the LNP. We have been proud to work with the United Nations and with the wonderful trainers and police officers who have come from around the world. Liberia has become a powerful example of how the international community can respond together when a nation is ready to move forward.
And I especially wish to salute the women who have joined this year's training class and those who have come before. What we have found around the world is that women police officers are essential, along with their male counterparts, to provide the stability of peace and security.
U.S. police officers and advisors have had the opportunity to collaborate closely with the LNP. We have focused much of our effort on the LNP Emergency Response Unit. Our investment in the ERU, including the new headquarters that will be opening soon, is a down payment on Liberia's future security. And I am pleased to announce today that in next year's budget, the United States will increase its financial support for training the LNP.
So let me thank you. Thank you for your courage, for your service, for your commitment to continuing Liberia's already remarkable progress. The United States is honored to work with you. President Obama and I are committed and dedicated to seeing that you succeed. We look forward to expanding our partnership in the future, and I congratulate this class for making this decision to be part of ensuring that Liberia's future is a really positive one. Thank you all very much."

Opera House to screen 'Rise of the Guardians' as part of Family Night at the Movies
The 1891 Fredonia Opera House will screen the animated family comedy "Rise of the Guardians" on Friday at 7 p.m. Sponsored by the Lily Dale Assembly as part of Family Night at the Movies, admission to the film is free.
Family Night at the Movies often features films based on or that inspire books for children. The series was originally developed as a way for adults to share the excitement of reading and great family entertainment with the children in their lives. The Book Nook has donated several books, which will be given away in a drawing before the film.
"Rise of the Guardians" is an epic adventure that tells the story of a group of heroes, each with extraordinary abilities. When an evil spirit known as Pitch lays down the gauntlet to take over the world, the immortal guardians must join forces for the first time to protect the hopes, beliefs and imagination of children all over the world.
Based on William Joyce's "The Guardians of Childhood" book series and short film, "The Man in the Moon," the film tells the story of how the Guardians (North or Santa Claus, the Tooth Fairy, Bunnymund or the Easter Bunny, and the Sandman) enlist Jack Frost to help stop Pitch from engulfing the world in darkness. It features the voices of Chris Pine, Alec Baldwin, Hugh Jackman, Jude Law and Isla Fisher.
Free admission tickets are available only at the door on the night of the show. Seating is limited to 400; patrons are reminded that there is no food or drink allowed in the Opera House and that all children must be accompanied by an adult. For more information, contact the Opera House at 679-1891 or visit www.fredopera.org.

It's not called horsepower for nothing. Jupiter-based nonprofit therapeutic center Hopes, Dreams and Horses (HDH) puts people with physical, mental, social and emotional needs on the backs of horses and gives them the reigns. Its mission to "improve the quality of life of children and adults through equine therapy and interaction" is seen through just about every action, from the work with riders down to the care for the horses.
Part horse rescue, part therapeutic riding center, HDH helps individuals with special needs connect through horses, be it riding or simply coming to the barn and being in their presence. The nonprofit assists people such as at-risk youth, seniors, amateur riders, veterans, cancer patients and survivors, and individuals with socialization and communication needs.
Horses have a natural and unique ability to reach people who have been injured, afflicted by disease or coping with social and cognitive disorders. It all stems from the pelvis. Similar to humans, a horse's pelvis has three-dimensional movement, giving its natural gait a similar rhythmic motion to that of people. This helps riders whose core and large muscle groups have atrophied or gone dormant because of injury or being wheelchair-bound improve physical conditions like balance, coordination, reflexes, range of motion, muscle development and decreased spasticity.
The horse's gait also helps stimulate the nervous system, encouraging people who fall within the autism spectrum be more open to taking in information. Beyond gait and skeletal structure, the bond between human and horse, the task-oriented nature of riding and the goal-oriented therapies enacted at HDH help improve the rider's self-esteem while working on physical and occupational therapy strategies. Programs like therapeutic riding, equine-assisted psychotherapy and equine-assisted learning harness the power of horses to instill an overall sense of well being, improve confidence and self-esteem and create a dynamic of positive communication as well as a place for relationship growth.
HDH is not only a therapeutic place for humans but horses as well, acting a rescue center for horses that are no longer wanted or have been abandoned or abused. Since Executive Director Sue Copeland founded HDH in 1997, 42 horses have been rescued, 10 of which are still in service with the organization today. The sense when walking among the stalls at the Jupiter Farms stable is overwhelmingly positive, a place where good is the basis of every action.

Gray: Change to a healthy lifestyle makes a huge difference
Amanda Freeland of Alpena proudly says that she was born to be a teacher. It's in her DNA. But a dramatic change in life helped her explode her potential in the classroom. Take a peak inside Amanda's kindergarten class today and you'll see her educating and inspiring our youth with fun, flair and boundless energy.
A few years ago, she had the same determination, but not the energy to match. What changed? Her health.
When I first met Amanda as my son's teacher at Bingham Arts Academy, she was a newlywed who had just moved to Northeast Michigan and landed her first job. It was a lot of change all at once, but she seemed eager. She was in love, excited about her career, but battling something greater lack of confidence.
After hearing that I worked in health and fitness, she confided in me. She said the stress of planning a wedding, moving to a new community and starting over had thrown her off track. She was consuming a lot of processed foods, spending too much time on the couch and was uninspired. In fact, she even found herself bored or lonely in her spare time. Her husband worked different shifts and was often gone on the weekends. So, she stayed in. She was young and out of shape and had no path to change it. She didn't grow up in a physically active household and never considered exercise as a way of life.
She described her steady weight gain as feeling like she was "zipped up in a fat suit" and lost in her own body. She knew she did not like the way her clothes fit, or how tired she felt at the end of the day, but was not sure how to turn the corner.
Soon after this conversation, I was teaching yoga to the young students in her class. We practiced hopping in a tree pose, rocking like a boat and doing a swan dive off a cliff into the ocean. Her young friends lit up and so did she. After they settled into their afternoon rest time, she leaned to me and said, "I really enjoy doing yoga with the kids. It calms their nerves and helps them focus for the afternoon. What I didn't realize is that it would do the same for me." Her journey had begun.
Fast forward to today. Amanda and her husband Ben, an occupational therapist at Alpena Regional Medical Center, have overhauled their priorities, their kitchen, their schedules, their relationships and their lives. They are walking billboards for health and fitness. Why? Because it worked.
Ben is 30 pounds lighter, sleeps better and feels stronger. As a therapist, he is often advising patients to exercise more and choose better nutrition, so he is proud to be walking the walk.?He exercises regularly on his lunch hour and has swapped burgers and fries for healthy meal replacement shakes, sandwiches and fruit.
Amanda lost 20 pounds and has more confidence in all areas of life. She shares her love for wellness with her students and their families to inspire others to live better. She routinely exercises with her kids in class and promotes healthy snacks and lunches. Amanda found her own way in fitness by attending group classes. She was hooked and earned a TurboKick certification. She now teaches her own classes at the health club and leads school-wide special fitness events, like Glow Turbo in the dark. She lights up the room with her smile. The young woman in the mirror today is a simply a better version of herself.
When the Freelands married, they did not envision a healthy lifestyle because they did not know what it looked like. Surrounding themselves with like-minded, healthy people has rubbed off. This couple has transformed from video games, couch time and TV dinners to workouts, 5Ks and home cooked meals. Throughout this journey, Amanda taught herself a valuable lesson – her health fuels her future.
Trina Gray is the owner of Bay Athletic Club, a mother of two, a national presenter on fitness and wellness and a change agent in the community. Her wellness column appears monthly.

OK, so Herman Cain just announced the suspension of his presidential campaign. That was pretty predictable (despite moves in recent days that seemed to confuse this predictability). Perhaps less predictable, given that he pledged to stay in the race the day after the Ginger White allegations went public, is that, in his remarks today, he announced that he would endorse another candidate "in the near future." Who will it be? The smart money is on Newt Gingrich. There are many reasons to think so, but the immediate one that comes to mind was tweeted just moments after Cain's announcement.

Those sound juicy.BruceMirken wrote:"Pudd'nhead Wilson" is a great obscurity.

I don't do reviews often but felt this one was deserving. I've needed a pickup for years but could never find anything that I felt would give me decent natural sound without feedback issues. I heard about the Lyric, read all the reviews, good and bad, and decided to go for the Lyric Venue combo.
I've had the Lyric installed in my Collings DS2HA for 5 months now and have nothing but good things to say about it. I'm not a tech or a luthier but after speaking with the techs at both Collings and Baggs I chose to do the installation myself. The scary part was drilling out the endpin but after that it was simple and straightforward. The entire install took appx 30 minutes.
I play in an all acoustic bluegrass group and usually struggle to hear my guitar through stage monitors, can never get enough monitor without feedback. My expectations were basic, I just wanted decent sound out front, and the ability to hear myself in the monitors without feedback. The presence control on the Lyric was pretty easy to get right. With EQ set flat it's a little "honky/quacky" but by dialing the mids down on the Venue I get a good natural sound with zero feedback issues. I was a little concerned about external/pick noise but that's not been an issue for me. I've had opportunities to use it on stage at different types of indoor and outdoor venues and it's worked great, just ask the house sound to set your channel flat. (Also ask them to turn it down 'cause the Venue sends a strong signal!) It has greatly exceeded my expectations, the sound is better than decent, it's the most natural sounding plug-in-and-play pickup I've ever heard. And I didn't realize how much I'd like the boost function and the tuner on the Venue.

Topic: Best way to build database structure?
I'm just starting out (with Rails 3.0), and am confused by the multiple ways to accomplish the same task of creating migrations. As I understand it so far, there are at least two methods to create the schema and the associated scaffold:
Method 1:
rails generate scaffold <object name> <field name :datatype> ...
[change app/model/<fieldname>.rb with linking e.g., has_many: <child obj> or belongs_to: <parent>]
rake db:migrate
Method 2:
rails generate migration <collection name> {note: collection name = plural of the object name }
[edit the migration and add the schema commands]
rake db:migrate
rails generate scaffold <object name> <controller name>
Which is the best way? (easiest to understand, least amount of editing magic files, etc.)
Is there another method that's better?
Which is the 'standard' way?
In Method 2, how & where do we put the relationship commands?

Bipartisan Group Introduces Bill to Block FAA Tower Closures
Lawmakers on Wednesday introduced a bipartisan bill that would block FAA's planned closure of 149 air traffic control towers resulting from the sequestration budget cuts implemented in March.
The Air Traffic Control Tower Funding Restoration Act would transfer funding from FAA's facilities and research account to continue funding the contract tower program. The bill is sponsored by Rep. Bruce Braley (D-Iowa), Rep. Richard Hudson (R-N.C.) and Rep. Tom Cotton (R-Ark.), all of whom have contract towers in their states scheduled to be closed.
"Local air-traffic-control towers have served a vital role in our country's aviation infrastructure for over 30 years and are integral to the success of local businesses and rural communities. They prove to be a safe, cost-effective alternative to federally operated towers in low-traffic areas and should not be closed without an opportunity to evaluate alternative approaches the FAA could take within its operating budget," said Hudson.
Last week FAA announced it would delay the closures of all 149 towers until June 15. The phased four-week closures process was originally scheduled to begin April 7. Most of the towers are at small and medium-sized airports with fewer than 150,000 annual takeoffs and landings.
The sequester required the agency to reduce its budget by $637 million, and the tower closures are expected to save about $30-40 million.
The House bill is based on an amendment sponsored by Sen. Jerry Moran (R-Kan.) that he offered in March as part of the Senate continuing resolution bill to fund the government through the end of the 2013 fiscal year. Moran is expected to introduce a similar bill in the Senate to block the tower closures later this month.

One of the key aspects of any cosmetic salon establishment is making reservations. Cosmetic salon reservation must be handled professionally and in the best way possible to smoothen up operations at the salon. Thankfully, salon software can help you achieve exactly this and enjoy to see your business grow and become more profitable.

To start with, you will find various options out there and you will need to make an informed choice on which one to select depending on the reservation level that you need. If you are not well experienced about software that you can use, it is imperative that you opt for a basic program that is not complicated.

We both love to write although she's more of a poet and children's writer and I do non-fiction and history. We got to talking because we both have fibromyalgia and other issues and we had daughters graduating from the same school. We just hit it off and became good friends.
We kept trying to challenge each other to write but there wasn't enough of whatever we needed to keep doing it. About the same time we discovered the book, Writing Down the Bones: Freeing the Writer Within by Natalie Goldberg. This book is an absolute must for anybody who wants to do any writing. Through various prompts and very short essays Natalie teaches how to do the stream-of-consciousness type of writing that just gets the words down on the page.

Are you all waiting for wireless ttl solutions from a Fujifilm?
Dec 17, 2013
I know that the fujifilm has x20 flash that can be triggered wirelessly. But I personally am waiting for decent more powerful flashes that can be triggered off camera with the superb fuji super-intelligent ttl capability. Even better if they release a radio or infrared trigger for the flashes with group ratio control. That's the only thing holding me back from getting into the system (I have the x100s). Just curious how many of you want this to happen or are you all fine with third party manual flash? Thanks.
