On August 18, 2011, President Barack Obama and Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton called on President Bashar al-Asad of Syria to step aside for the sake of the Syrian people. Secretary Clinton said:
"For months, the world has borne witness to the Asad regime's contempt for its own people. In peaceful demonstrations across the nation, Syrians are demanding their universal human rights. The regime has answered their demands with empty promises and horrific violence, torturing opposition leaders, laying siege to cities, slaughtering thousands of unarmed civilians, including children.
"The Asad government has now been condemned by countries in all parts of the world and can look only to Iran for support for its brutal and unjust crackdown.
"This morning, President Obama called on Asad to step aside and announced the strongest set of sanctions to date targeting the Syrian Government. These sanctions include the energy sector to increase pressure on the regime. The transition to democracy in Syria has begun, and it's time for Asad to get out of the way. As President Obama said this morning, no outside power can or should impose on this transition. It is up to the Syrian people to choose their own leaders in a democratic system based on the rule of law and dedicated to protecting the rights of all citizens, regardless of ethnicity, religion, sect, or gender.
"We understand the strong desire of the Syrian people that no foreign country should intervene in their struggle, and we respect their wishes. At the same time, we will do our part to support their aspirations for a Syria that is democratic, just, and inclusive. And we will stand up for their universal rights and dignity by pressuring the regime and Asad personally to get out of the way of this transition."
Last week, Secretary Clinton also joined Secretary of Defense Leon Panetta for a conversation at the National Defense University, where they discussed the budget, Afghanistan, Pakistan, and Iraq. Secretary Clinton said:
"...One of the goals that Secretary Gates and now Secretary Panetta and I have is to make the case as to what national security in the 21st century actually is. It is, of course, the strongest military in the world that has to be given the tools to do the jobs we send it out to do. It is our diplomatic corps, which is out there on the front lines all the time, trying to deal with very difficult situations to the betterment of America's national interest and security. And it is our development experts who put another face on American power, who are trying to deliver, as we speak, aid to 12 million people in the Horn of Africa who are facing famine and starvation."
In recognition of World Humanitarian Day, Secretary Clinton honored aid workers who make a difference around the world, including in the Horn of Africa, Pakistan, Sri Lanka, and South Sudan. U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) Assistant Administrator Nancy Lindborg spotlighted 100 ways one can help the people affected by the crisis in the Horn of Africa.
Meanwhile, Deputy Special Representative for Global Partnerships Jim Thompson highlighted a new initiative in which one can help identify innovations that have the potential to transform current energy systems and help support a more sustainable future.
Under the auspices of another Global Partnership Initiative, the United States is helping to combat the dangers of unclean cookstoves. Exposure to smoke from unclean cookstoves causes nearly two million premature deaths annually and is a major contributor to preventable noncommunicable diseases (NCDs), such as chronic respiratory illnesses and lung cancer. NCDs kill over 35 million people worldwide each year. The enormous challenges posed by NCDs will frame a high-level meeting at this year's UN General Assembly in September.
In other health news, the United States is partnering with Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Mexico, and Uruguay at both the government to government and investigator levels to fight breast cancer. The United States is also working to advance infant and maternal health in Pakistan, where fewer than 40 percent of women receive skilled medical care during childbirth. To address this issue, USAID is supporting the renovation of women's hospitals across Pakistan.
Tragically, on August 19, 2011, terrorists attacked worshipers gathered at a mosque during Friday prayers in northwest Pakistan. Secretary Clinton said the attack "underscores the brutality of those who would target civilians during a time of celebration and reflection for Muslims throughout the world. Our thoughts and prayers are with the families and loved ones affected by this deplorable violence."
As the week came to a close, Iranian authorities sentenced detained Americans Shane Bauer and Joshua Fattal to eight years in prison. Secretary Clinton said, "We continue to call and work for their immediate release -- it is time for them to return home and be reunited with their families. I join President Obama and the people of the United States in expressing our unflagging support for Shane, Joshua, Sarah and their families during this difficult time."

Welcome back Luke,
Got's your weekend wrap-up raiht-hear-ya'll, brouhght to all yoos Dipnoteted wonderkind, wonderin' what up wit the citizens of the world...stublin' bumblin' mob of freedom lovin' slobs... we be not slaves to circumstance....trending between mild mannered mediocrity and sublime gratuity grasping anticipated miracles great and glory be!
Foreign affairs be all about the endless possibilities inherant in these human conditions.
Well now folks it seems that congratulations are in order...'cause with a little help from their friends the Lybian people have successfully engaged in regime replacement therapy.
And the therapy starts now as the people rejoice in Tripoli.
For Ghaddafi, it's all over but the cryin'....in a hidy hole somewhere.
Now I know you'all diplomatic folk from the Sec. on down are just tickled pick by this and so am I because it validates US policy and proves my point been carrying on with for my entire tenure commenting on this blog.
"Regime change" is an often misunderstood notion, not accurate in description and often misinterpreted with a lot of "political crap" attached to the phraseology when it gets used by folks in the media and such.
See here now...doesn't "regime replacement therapy" have a nice ring to it?
What else would you call this policy where the US gov. along with the willing helps a people kick their oppressors out of Dodge, Luke?
I don't think the press would quite take to that.
So please pass my best regards on to folks @ State/USAID because now the hard work of nation building begins for them as partners with the Lybian people.
Wouldn't do to let either the victors or the vanquished sleep in the rubble.
Now I know the President has said that we need to do nation building here at home, and jobs are job#1 on his agenda....but I maintain that we can do both here and abroad so long as we're exporting the raw building materials and tools for folks to do that with.
The lumber, sheetrock, and all the rest...paid for by Ghaddafi's frozen assets returned to the Lybian people, and bought at reasonable rates from us in a true 50/50 economic partnership to repair the physical damage done by Ghaddafi and by the people tearing down the regime to build anew.
We ought to be able to put 50,000 Americans to work here at home over the next few years if we do this right.
'Ol Newt G. had his "Contract with America" but he don't have nearly the vision I do in all of its worldly manifestations.
Let's show the Syrian people what they can look forward to from us seein' as how Assad's next on our to-do list, now that "...or get out of the way." has become "get gone!" in so many choice words.
Wonders never cease to be when there's never a dull moment on the planet and so with that said, have a nice week!

Assad and the Syrian case:

@ Mrs Secretary, Eric, world leaders, Audience
we all must move faster cos the globe is moving fatser then any form of comunication and events occurring
CHANGE current corrupted system and current financial western financial regime working to restore democracy and freedom for any single individual on this planet.
I personally invite you all to review any single speech of President Obama and get his message as an executive order and consequently I invite you to act and lead right away to have his vision coming to fruition.
I want to see a nation that chooses a leader executing what his leader order to his nation right away
I want to see a nation that gather and in one voice, in one spirit propose itself to the globe.
I want you to be United cos the challenge we all are going to be facing are not even thought and understandable from the human mind

… Time was passing. Somebody could become skeptical, but I was so sure about your analysis.
As you wisely wrote at the beginning of the story: Ghaddafi ENDs!
Maybe it's a 24-48 hours, maybe 56, before the final "confirm†of the "Ghaddafi political stupidityâ€, but I'm sure that you were/are right!
Now I can predict it (LOL)!
It's a question of time to get out of his hidy hole…
Dead or Alive, as he decided.
THE END of a Regime.
THE START of a free Nation!

@ John in Greece,
If memory serves, this is the first thing I said on the Libyan issue and for whatever gut instict may been worth at the time to the US gov, this ought to prove its worth today...though I never promised them "dry analysis" by any stretch...what I do tends to be more accurate than most analysis they pay folks big bucks to give them.
It is what it is...

Crater a few military runways and tell the Lybian airforce to go home and take care of their mothers?
There's an idea...get you a "no-fly" zone for about a month that way, easy. If there's anything left for them to fly after that, more precicely.
The question is will their mothers let them back in the house after bombing the people?
I think it's all but a moot point, Ghadaffi will likely endure the same fate as Mussolini at the hands of his people, for his crimes committed upon them.
And he'll have only himself to blame if he be hung on a meathook like a side of beef.
Maybe once a terrorist, always a terrorist?
Like serial killers I guess, sometimes they take a break for a few years and then go back at it.
Well I remember telling a fellow dipnote blogger awhile back that there was a lot of mental illness on the world stage.
I guess I don't need anyone to second that opinion as it's patently obvious that the criminally insane are doing their thing.
@ PJ Crowley, Assist Sec. of State- Public Affairs
How about we just put a screeching halt to it PJ? Talkin's not doing, and the other guy ain't listening, so let's all get busy as democracies on this planet and tap dance on Ghaddafi's head...might wake the boy up.
Or we could simply have him for batting practice at spring training this year courtesy of the entire RED SOX NATION.
I mean with all due respect for life, limb and property and all...words alone, I don't think will cut it when you need a scalple to perform the lobotomy.
See, this is a another real good example of why the world can no longer afford to put up with tyrants and dictators for another second.
And I would suggest to you without speculation sir, that "the war on terror" has actually entered a new universal understanding thereby.
Looks like the people are winning, but at a very high price.

Daily calcium intake in excess of 1400 mg is associated with increased all-cause and cardiovascular disease mortality in women
- Division of Preventive Medicine, Brigham and Women's Hospital, Boston, Massachusetts, USA
- Correspondence to

Division of Preventive Medicine, Brigham and Women's Hospital, 900 Commonwealth Avenue East, 3rd Floor, Boston, MA 02215, USA; hsesso{at}hsph.harvard.edu
Commentary on:
Implications for practice and research
Greater calcium intake is encouraged for bone health, but has unclear cardiovascular consequences.
In a large cohort of Swedish women, total calcium intake of <600 or ≥1400 mg/day was associated with an increased risk of total mortality (TM) and cardiovascular disease mortality (CVDM).
It is important to emphasise adequate dietary calcium intake in patients, with calcium supplementation only when necessary.
Sufficient calcium intake is required for bone health. Recommended daily calcium increases with age, reaching 1500 mg/day by the age of 65 years. Intake of calcium-rich foods tends to be inadequate, with a large proportion of predominantly older women taking high-dose calcium supplements1 to increase the …

Truck permits drive fears
By MINDA RAE AMIRAN
The current moratorium on horizontal hydrofracking of gas wells in New York state finds citizens fairly evenly divided on whether the process should be allowed. But there is no division on the proposition that contaminated wastes from the process must be prevented from poisoning the water sources on which our lives depend.
In Chautauqua County, where so much of the economy is based on tourism, fishing, attendance at the Chautauqua Institution and dairy farming, preserving our lakes, streams, springs, and wells is a top priority.
Accordingly, The League of Women Voters was astonished to learn that the county has issued overweight permits to let a hydrofracking operation in Pennsylvania transport wastewater over our county roads from one site to another in Pennsylvania.
Upon inquiring of Chautauqua County Executive Greg Edwards' office, we were told that the county's income from the permits would repair any damage to our roads from the heavy vehicle traffic, and also that Julius Leone, the county emergency services director, had been notified to prepare remedies in case of spills.
These responses seem entirely inadequate to us. The Times Observer of Warren, Pa., which reported the permits on Feb. 21, quoted the fracking operation's president Karl Kimmich as expecting eight to 10 truckloads a day to pass over the roads.
We don't know how accurate this projection may be, but even if the eight to 10 trips are made by eight to 10 trucks, at $250 a year per truck the total doesn't seem to result in nearly enough money to make any substantial repairs. The county overweight charge of $250 a year is the figure named to us by the county Public Facilities Department. The roads involved are reported to be County Road 33 to Panama Rocks and Weeks Road to Columbus Township, Pa. The unaccustomed weight of wastewater trucks on these roads is sure to damage them over the life of the operation.
But paying for any needed repairs is the least of it. What of the potential for spills into creeks or ponds or for seepage into the water table under a field by the side of the road? Accidents to heavy trucks on wet or icy roads are scarcely unheard of in our area, and we have been told of incidents in which tired or uncaring truckers have simply dumped their loads into any nearby stream. With the best of intentions and abilities, Mr. Leone can do nothing to prevent such accidents or misdemeanors, and it's hard to see what he could do to clean polluted water that had seeped into a field or stream. Especially since the chemicals used in the fracking water are classed as trade secrets: we don't even know what they are.
To make matters worse, we have learned that the wastewater carried over our roads is to be poured into two disused 30 year-old gas wells in the community of Bear Lake, Pa. It seems there are homes with children bordering on the dumping area and some of those homes are actually in state.
The EPA has permitted the use of the now refurbished wells for waste disposal, over the protests of residents of Bear Lake, who petitioned unsuccessfully for two years to prevent the decision. These residents are on record as fearing the old wells may leak and they're worried that their water supply will be polluted. So must we be: there is nothing to stop the wastewater from seeping into Chautauqua County from just across our border.
We have heard that Mr. Edwards says he had no choice but to issue the permits once transport of the waste had been approved. But the EPA approval of the Bear Lake wells cannot affect transport in Chautauqua County, and New York's DEC doesn't govern transport of hazardous materials through New York from one out-of-state place to another. So it's not clear what permit is involved.
The proposed fracking safeguards now under moratorium give counties the sole authority to decide on the use of their roads, showing the state's current thinking on this problem. And if Mr. Edwards now has the authority to issue overweight trucking permits, why has he no authority not to issue such permits?
Pending information to the contrary, we call on him to retract the permits. We also call on him to refrain from taking such actions in future without open discussion in the Legislature and without consulting the public.
Minda Rae Amiran is a Fredonia resident and member of the League of Women Voters Chautauqua County.

Surprisingly, a number of chefs I know seem to disdain the food processor, saying that they own them but rarely use them. Other machines seem to do individual jobs better for them. Mixers for doughs and knives for cutting. Of course, professional chefs usually have better knife skills than most of us mere mortals, simply by the nature of their job and training. So why drag a machine out that will have to be cleaned when a chef's knife will give them the same result and is a lot easier to clean.
Hi everyone,Back in the 80s, mom bought a beautiful Cuisinart brand food processor. The thing still works, and is built like a tank. I'm currently thinking of buying a new one, and wonder if anyone here has a newer model of either a Cuisinart or KitchenAid food processor....I don't see many good reviews on any of the Kitchen Aid food processors, this is really sad to see from such a greatcompany. Lack of power is a constant complaint with so many of the KitchenAid models. == Perhaps it's because I'm looking at the wrong model. Is there a KA model thathas tons of power ? perhaps so... if you have one, please let me know.If you DO have a KitchenAid model that does have tons of power, I really want to hear from you. I find it so difficult to find info like "what is the strongest, mostpowerful food processor that KA has to offer" - I can't find a good answer.So with that said, those of you that do have food processors, are you Cuisinart fans ( using new models ? ) if so, what model should I be looking for ?Thanks for any advice, info, help !

text: Men's BB Falls In OTIt was another free wheeling affair for the HU men's basketball team. This time, however, it didn't end so well. Hamline had an impressive rally from an early deficit to take a second half lead at Northwestern. Then the Eagles got the same idea and came back to win, 93-85, in overtime. Dior Ford had a season high 23 points to lead the Pipers. Noah Aguirre added 16 and Tyler Pannell chipped in with 14 points. Aguirre also had nine rebounds and Victor Easter had seven. Northwestern (4-0) jumped to a 21-4 lead. Aguirre hit a couple of baskets in a row as the Pipers steadily pecked away, cutting the deficit to 39-32 at halftime. The good vibes went into the second half as HU went on a 21-4 in its own right for a 53-43 lead. The lead expanded to 13 before the Eagles came back to tie matters at 75 and force OT. The Eagles scored the first five points in the extra session but the Pipers came back for a 85-84 lead with 1:50 left. Northwestern then scored the last seven points. Hamline fell to 2-1 overall. They open MIAC play Wednesday, November 28 against St. John's at Hutton Arena. Game time is 7:30 p.m. Northwestern boxscore

How can we run more than 1 RoR project in WEBrick server?
Well, you can run multiple webrick servers. You need to set the port manually so there's no conflict. Sorry I'm not at a rails machine so I'm not certain how to do it. I'll research it if you need me to.
Will that work for you?
If you are using RadRails when you create a webrick server it will add it to port 3000. When you create another webrick server it will add it to port 3001. I'm assuming if you do it a third time it will be port 3002, etc... This will allow you to run multiple projects at once via webrick.

Book a slot now to minimize the wait
As the industry recovers from the long recession, sales of used and new aircraft are accelerating. Largely as a result, more and more independent completion and refurbishment shops are building a backlog of orders.
Another reason: the first Global Express XRS business jets from Bombardier are coming in for required major inspections, and a lot of owners are choosing to do cabin refurbishment at the same time. Meanwhile, owners of larger bizliners—Airbus ACJs and Boeing Business Jets—are jostling for refurbishment slots timed to coincide with required 10-year maintenance and inspection checks. At centers approved by Airbus Corporate Jets and Boeing Business Jets to do interior outfitting of their new airplanes, backlogs began growing last year.
A word to the wise: peruse this directory now and, to minimize delays, schedule your job as soon as possible.

"I personalized this card by not having our names beneath the words "thank you". My request was executed perfectly. Everything looked elegant and appropriate."
"The colors are sharp and happy, which we wanted for a Thank You card. Our invites were the Delicate Ambiance, and save the dates and thank yous were this design (rustic print) which gave a good contrast while still being relevant to each other."
"The colors, the quality of the paper and design were perfect. I am so delighted with these Thank You Cards. They arrived earlier than expected. I am very satisfied with this company and their products."
"The paper is a nice and thick quality, my fiance thought they were very classy. I personalized the font in the brown ink and they look beautiful."
"Added "thank you" to the front. Customer service was so helpful correcting a problem with my order. They really helped me out."

OK, House: The bill is in your court
Half the battle for farm bill passage was won Monday evening when the Senate passed a five-year, half-trillion farm bill with a bipartisan 66-27 vote.
We like most of what the Senate's bill entails, especially the expansion of crop insurance and the elimination of subsidies currently paid to farmers regardless of if they farm or not, while still subsidizing corn, soybeans, wheat and other crops.
The bill would also protect environmentally-sensitive land, international food aid and other projects to help rural communities.
Thank you, Senate, for this legislation.
Now, if only the House can get its act together and follow suit – something that might not occur too easily and definitely not without a fight. Although District 7 Congressman Collin Peterson has expressed subtle optimism for a farm bill to pass in the House and ultimately get signed off on by the president, we know there are plenty of House conservatives who will put up a fight. One of the contentious issues is the food stamp program called the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP). While the Senate bill would cut SNAP by about $400 million per year, the House reportedly wants to cut it by a whopping and potentially-devastating $2 billion per year. We think that number is far too high.
This is a gap – a huge gap – that needs to be addressed. Can the House pass a bill? Can the Senate and House find middle ground? We shall see, but if roadblocks can't be conquered on this one, don't expect rural America to forgive and forget. As slick as some politicians are, there will be no talking their way out of this one on their next campaign trail.

New Dissertation Abstract Institution: Lancaster University Program: Department of Linguistics and Modern English Language Dissertation Status: Completed Degree Date: 2000 Author: Izumi Tanaka Dissertation Title: The Value of an Annotated Corpus in The Investigation of Anaphoric Pronouns, with Particular Reference to Backwards Anaphora in English Linguistic Field: Text/Corpus Linguistics Subject Language: English Dissertation Director 1: Geoffrey N Leech Dissertation Director 2: Anthony M McEnery Dissertation Abstract: This thesis investigates English personal pronoun reference in particular focusing on cataphora (backwards anaphora), using the Anaphoric Treebank (AT), which is a written English corpus with discourse annotation, and other corpus data. The analysis of corpus data reveals certain coreferential cataphora patterns (in particular in the initial adverbial or initial direct speech constructions). On the basis of the corpus data, the claims on cataphora made by generative approaches and cognitive discourse theories are tested. The points which became clear in testing generative approaches are: (1) The result of an informant test indicates the inadequacy of narrowly restricting data to invented examples. (2) The lack of understanding of the scope of the application of the theory can be observed in Reinhart (1984) and Binding theories. (3) A sentential-level approach to investigate pronoun references is inadequate. The points which became clear in testing cognitive discourse theories are: (i) First mention cataphora and Overriding-type of cataphora clearly show that there is such a phenomenon that can be called cataphora, contrary to the sceptical view on cataphora. (ii) These cataphora data indicate that a pronoun reference can be made not only for an already-mentioned entity but also for a new discourse entity. Also the analysis of the borderline cases (anaphora/cataphora) reveals that in certain conditions, the reference-direction (anaphora/cataphora) judgement tends to involve a triple-choice (anaphoric /cataphoric /indeterminate). In order to account for the corpus data of cataphoric pronouns, the following suggestions can be made: (i) It is necessary, from readers' perspective, to assume that a personal pronoun creates a temporal information gathering point in some kind of the reader's short term memory. (ii) The reference-direction judgement of a personal pronoun (anaphora/cataphora) tends to reflect the way in which a reader perceives focus of attention (highlight) when the reader resolves the pronoun reference.Mail to author|Respond to list|Read more issues|LINGUIST home page|Top of issue

On 3 September we had a small family gathering at home to celebrate my husband's 60th birthday. I'd already given him a gift so I was looking for something a little unique to celebrate the occasion. I was referred to Marianne at Harmony Events. She arrived at our home and sang one of my husband's favourite songs and then a personal Happy Birthday song. She was warm, friendly and professional. Marianne had us up dancing and everyone very much enjoyed her performance. I'd highly recommend Marianne – she created a happy lasting memory for him.

First impression on unpacking the Q702 test unit was the solid feel and clean, minimalist styling.
For work use, Microsoft Word and Excel programs pre-installed on the device are adequate for preparing short documents.
The Fujitsu LifeBook UH574 allowed for great mobility without being obnoxiously heavy or clunky. Its twelve hours of battery life did not disappoint.
The screen was particularly good. It is bright and visible from most angles, however heat is an issue, particularly around the Windows button on the front, and on the back where the battery housing is located.
My first impression after unboxing the Q702 is that it is a nice looking unit. Styling is somewhat minimalist but very effective. The tablet part, once detached, has a nice weight, and no buttons or switches are located in awkward or intrusive positions.

text: Kenya Airways commences flights to Ouagadougou Airline obtains 5th Freedom Rights to fly to Cotonou, Benin Nairobi, July 15th 2011 … Kenya Airways has today commenced flights to Ouagadougou in Burkina Faso. The new route, the 55th of the airline's global destinations, and 45th in Africa, will see Kenya Airways strengthen its presence in West Africa with direct flights to Burkina Faso's capital city. The new destination will be serviced with a Boeing 737 –700, twice a week every Friday and Monday out of Nairobi. During the event to officially inaugurate the service, Kenya Airways Chief Executive Officer Dr. Titus Naikuni announced that the airline has also been granted 5th Freedom Rights by both Government of Benin and Burkina Faso. This means that Kenya Airways will now be able sell tickets and uplift passengers between Cotonou and Ouagadougou and vice versa. "This is an important development for Kenya Airways as it offers further consolidation of our expanding African network and brings us closer to achieving our ambition of being the carrier of choice for Africa. Our plans to fly to every Capital in Africa by 2013 and consolidate our route network on the continent are thus well on course," noted Dr. Naikuni. The 5th Freedom Rights is offered under the UN Convention on International Civil Aviation's 'Freedoms of the Air.' This refers to a set of commercial aviation rights granting a country's airline the privilege to land in another country, uplifting passengers to another destination with the flight originating or ending in the airline's own country. Kenya Airways will therefore offer services between Ouagadougou and Cotonou in neighboring Benin twice a week on Monday's and Fridays. Speaking at the same event, Minister for Transport Hon. Amos Kimunya commended Kenya Airways for the launch of the new route, noting that transport plays a major role in economic development. "The launch of this new route is laudable because it complements the government's efforts to grow bilateral trade and economic links with countries in West Africa. Kenya's exports to West Africa are still quite low although we believe that there is vast potential for economic cooperation," said Kimunya. The Minster thanked the Governments of Burkina Faso and Benin for the 5th Freedom Rights to Kenya Airways and urged Kenyan businessmen to take up the opportunity to identify new markets and expand their export regimes. Dr. Naikuni noted that Africa is acknowledged as the new frontier for growth with the continent recording increasing economic activity and trade. He added that Kenya Airways was seeking to diversify its route network throughout Africa in order to tap into the unique opportunities on this very diverse continent. Ouagadougou is the 2nd destination that Kenya Airways has launched this year following the commencement of flights to Ndjamena in Chad last month. The airline plans to commence service to a further 6 destinations within Africa and the Middle East in the course of this financial year.

Tailoring and targeting interventions for women with heart disease: the need for gender-based approaches
- Centre for Cardiovascular and Chronic Care, University of Technology Sydney, Sydney, New South Wales, Australia
- Correspondence to Patricia M Davidson
Centre for Cardiovascular and Chronic Care, Level 7, Building 10, Jones Street, Broadway, Sydney, NSW 2007, Australia; patriciamary.davidson{at}uts.edu.au
Implications for practice and research
■ Increasingly, there is recognition that women with heart disease have greater psychological morbidity than men.
■ Owing to increased rates of depression and other factors, such as older age, women are less likely to adhere to behaviour change strategies and attend cardiac rehabilitation (CR).
■ A tailored and targeted approach, using a gender-based framework and a theoretically derived behaviour change strategy, can improve depressive symptoms in women following an acute cardiac event.
■ The worth of tailoring and targeting strategies to women's readiness to change behaviours as well as the likely benefit of providing a gender-based approach to care delivery.
■ The need to replicate this study in other study settings and in women from cultural and linguistically diverse groups.
■ The importance of measuring process measures and ensuring monitoring of intervention fidelity in research.
In developed countries, coronary heart disease (CHD) contributes to death and disability among women.1 Gender is a dynamic and socially defined construct comprising role enactment, values and beliefs of …

Trump signs orders advancing Keystone, Dakota pipelines
Cramer just being himself
Julie M. Sandvig, West Fargo
Lately Congressman Kevin Cramer has made some controversial remarks. He's threatened Native Americans, blamed school shootings on the legalization of abortion, and defended those remarks as "truth." Those of us who know Kevin Cramer have known for years that he has his own version of the truth.
I grew up in Kindred and had the good fortune to attend a beautiful country church, Norman Lutheran. Our regular pastor, Al Sandness, was excellent at preaching about God's love and the sacrifice of Jesus Christ for our sins. He allowed me to understand that all sins would be forgiven through Christ to those who repented and accepted His love.
For a few weeks, we had a different pastor – Kevin Cramer. For those few weeks, it seemed as though the God that Pastor Sandness preached about was not the same God that Kevin Cramer preached about. Pastor Cramer preached about a God that would damn us all to hell. I remember one sermon in particular where he said that people who told dirty jokes were evil. Pastor Cramer preached judgment. He preached a God that I had never been taught before.
I was only a teenager, but I remember thinking that if that's the way it is, why bother trying?
As I grew up and Pastor Sandness went back to being our pastor, I came to believe that God does love me. My sins are forgivable. One of my favorite biblical quotes that I live my life by is "Judge not, lest ye be judged." I wonder if Kevin Cramer has ever read this one. I wonder if he believes those Supreme Court justices who heard Roe v. Wade and changed the future of women in this country are all going to hell. I wonder if he understands that Jesus loves everyone. Although I am a Christian, I believe that religion has no place in government. In fact, the entire reason this country was founded was to free those who believed differently from religious persecution.
Don't be surprised by Kevin Cramer's statements, North Dakota. This is who you voted for. While I thought briefly that I should support my hometown candidate, I remembered those hellfire and brimstone sermons and remembered that is not a man that should be making decisions for others. I cast my vote for Pam Gulleson. I only wish you had done the same, and I hope you will remember this in 2014.

Skip to comments.Mika To Google On Chavez-Over-Easter Choice: Admit You 'Screwed Up'
Posted on 04/01/2013 5:08:04 AM PDT by governsleastgovernsbest
That Mika Brzezinski is a dyed-in-the-wool liberal is well-known. Less publicized: the Morning Joe host is also a person of faith with traditional views on a number of subjects.
So it actually shouldn't come as a great surprise that Brzezinski sided with those criticizing Google for its choice of devoting its homepage doodle yesterday to celebrating the birthday of Cesar Chavez, rather than honoring Easter. Said Mika on today's Morning Joe: "how about a statement one day that just says: 'we screwed up'?"
View the video here.
(Excerpt) Read more at newsbusters.org ...
Mika gets one right! Flying pig ping to Today show list.
Who pays attention to Google doodles anyway? Google produces nothing of value. If it disappeared tomorrow, it would make no difference to the world.
I looked on the Google site and it showed they in fact have had an Easter doodle. So, what's all the hubbub? Are they supposed to ignore all non-Christians all the time?
I'm so glad ignored a Christian holiday - again!
I've been meaning to change over to bing or duckduckgo.
Google is an evil site. They monitor your searches and sell the information. Just go to google and search for a hotel in Orlando. Bang - you'll start getting pop-ups from travel companies. Or type in bankruptcy and foreclosures. Whatever you search for, by the time the sun sets, every marketing company will know your personal information.
What I find most interesting about all these liberal company leaders and RAT supporting companies, is that if their idols were to be in charge, the very companies that they invented would not be allowed to exist because of the lack of control that the dictator would want to have over it, but the founder would not want to give up that very control because of "freedom of speech". Am I missing something on this?
What is this google you speak of?
There is now a spirit at work in this country that is openly and actively agitating an anti-Christ message. Google's action demonstrates this.
Really? So the entire world saw the screenshot in post #1 but you saw an Easter doodle. Interesting.
The Easter doodle wasn't this year, obviously, but Google has doodled Easter in the past. You can look it up. I just don't understand why so many are allowing their feelings to be hurt over nothing.
I suppose we could hope that Google went with their April Fools plans one day early?
Being in California they get a day off for Cesar Chavev. They don't get one off for Easter. So maybe they're just showing their appreciation?
Google made their choice.
I made mine.
(A site which incidentally, had an entire page of easter eggs yesterday)
leftists never admit when they are wrong, because they are ALWAY wrong!
I'll bet Google has created a LOT of jobs for Americans. N'est Pas?
If Google wanted to stay out of any religious controversy they should hove stuck with their original Logo
But to put Cesar Chavez (who???) over Easter was a STUPID STUPID STUPID move.
What Easter doodle did you see?
I like IXquick....a good "old fashioned" search engine.
NO flippin' "auto-complete".
She should be on TV.
He should be flipping burgers.
They screwed up by dropping the veil.
Commies (like Mika) know that they can only advance their cause under cover.
She's a "person of faith"?
If you go to Google's website, you can see all of the doodles they have ever posted. There was one for Easter a few years ago. Just search for Easter when you get there. It shows two colored eggs for the Os. Now, I'll bet those with extremely thin dermis will say, "See, they only showed secular things, not religious ones". So, I'll have to conclude that what a wise person told me long ago is true. He said, "When one goes looking for trouble, he always finds it".
If you go to Bing's website, you'll see better doodles, and a "top of the news" bit.
Bing is far more informative.
I may never use Google again. I'm series.
I believe Google doesn't do religious holidays ... when was the last Christian, Muslim, Jewish, Hindu doodle shown in the United States?

What kind of water you are using for making tea?
In weekday I make tea from water of the hot water tank.
At home, I use bottled spring water which cost about 20HKD ( about $2.5 USD ) per 1.5 Litre bottle .
I am considering installing a water filter at home but I am not sure what kind of filter is effective. Another consideration is that a full scale water filter is pretty large and my home do not have much space for that.
Right off the math I spend 20*5 = 100HKD ~= 13USD per month for tea. Because using a water filter also cost extra in replacement of parts, so I am thinking if the cost for maintaining the filter is larger than the money I could've spend buying bottle water in 1 year, I might be better just buy the bottled water for tea.
What do you think?

Facebook Fires Up for IPO: Tech Weekly
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- Even though earnings slowed down this week for the tech sector, there was plenty of news to be had, led by a trio of tech titans: Facebook, Apple(AAPL) and Microsoft(MSFT) .
The week started off with Microsoft investing $300 million in a joint venture with Barnes & Noble (BKS) , as the NOOK becomes a viable competitor in the tablet space.
The partnership sees Microsoft and Barnes & Noble teaming up to form a joint venture for the NOOK tablet, bringing together Barnes & Noble's digital and college businesses.
Microsoft will own a 17.6% stake, with Barnes & Noble owning the remaining 82.4% in the as-yet-to-be-named company.
Shares of Microsoft closed the week down 3.5% at $30.98. Barnes & Noble gained $37.8% during the week to close at $17.90.
After the close of trading on Monday Groupon(GRPN) announced the resignation of two board members .
Starbucks(SBUX) CEO Howard Schultz and venture capital firm Accel Partners' Kevin Efrusy resigned from the board. Schultz is stepping down immediately, while Efrusy's resignation from the board of directors will be effective as of the company's annual meeting in June.
Groupon said Daniel Henry, the chief financial officer of American Express (AXP) , replaced Schultz, and Robert Bass, a vice chairman of accounting firm Deloitte LLP , should join its board after a shareholder vote at the annual meeting.
The Chicago firm has been wrestling with accounting issues since its IPO last year. Groupon recently restated fourth-quarter earnings, citing a shift in the company's deal mix and higher price offers, which have higher refund rates.
Shares of Groupon ended the week 16.4% lower at $9.97.
Apple once again garnered attention, amidst chatter about the new iPhone and market share gains against Amazon(AMZN) .
Rumors emerged of a longer, thinner iPhone, slightly different from previous versions of the iconic smartphone. Research firm IDC also showed Apple stole tablet market share from Amazon during the fourth quarter, as more consumers bought the iPad, seemingly at the expense of the Kindle Fire.
Shares of Apple closed the week 7.0% lower at $565.25.
Despite not being public yet, Facebook made news on Thursday when it set its IPO price range.
Facebook could raise as much as $13.6 billion from the IPO, and expects to receive approximately $5.6 billion from the offering. Approximately 180 million of the 2.14 billion shares Facebook has will be sold in the IPO.
The social networking giant expects its IPO to price between $28 and $35 per share. Shares priced at $35 would give Facebook a total valuation of $74.83 billion, less than the $100 billion mark rumored in recent weeks.
Sirius XM (SIRI) reported record first-quarter results on Tuesday but made no mention of returning cash to shareholders, as its battle with Liberty Media (LMCA) continues to heat up.

Skating Tripods wrote:Well, I'll post this through the tumbleweeds of the forum.With the 6th overall pick, the Columbus Blue Jackets selected Russian Nikita Filatov.Luke Schenn, the franchise defenseman I really wanted, got taken by the Maple Leafs who traded two picks to move up from 7 to 5. Clearly, the Islanders wanted Michael Boeddker, and knew that Columbus had no interest in taking him. Schenn was going to go 6 to Columbus, and it's a shame that he couldn't. He's a bruising physical specimen, basically NHL-ready on defense.Meanwhile, Filatov, who has spoken English since he was 5, is a smaller version of a Nikolai Zherdev. Filatov possesses more leadership skills (he was captain of his WJC team this past year), and more of a desire to play in North American.Also, he's very small, about 5'10" 175, and not NHL ready physically. It's probable that he'll be a top 2 pick in the CHL Import Draft next week, and then get used to the North American game there.With the 19th pick, Columbus has traded it for former Buckeye R.J. Umberger. Umberger's claim to fame is getting massacred by Brian Campbell in the first round of the 2007 NHL Playoffs. They also dealt their 3rd round pick and got a 4th rounder back in the deal.Umberger is not a top line center, so that is still a glaring need for Columbus going forward. It is possible that Filatov makes Zherdev expendable in a Marleau deal later on tonight, but that is highly unlikely.I'll have a more in-depth piece on the Blue Jackets draft tomorrow, and the draft as a whole, along with the offseason.

He could be flat out nasty when paired with Lupul in Philly and I think Nash will have the same effect on him.The Great One beat Howson to the punch on Jokinen. Calgary picking up Cammalleri should improve an already steady attack from the Flames. He immediately becomes the 2nd line C. A great pickup for the Flames, despite having some injuries last season.

Calgary picking up Cammalleri should improve an already steady attack from the Flames. He immediately becomes the 2nd line C. A great pickup for the Flames, despite having some injuries last season.Umberger can't play on the top line. He'll get absolutely shut down by the top pairings in the conference. The West is an animal of a different kind than the East. The East has the reputation of being rougher and a muck-and-grind conference, but the West is right there.The problem I have with Phoenix getting Jokinen is that he was a steal. I will readily admit that Columbus did not have a Keith Ballard that they'd be willing to move. However, they have a high 2nd, much like Phoenix, and Tollefson is on par with Boynton. Columbus could have put the #19 with Tollefson and their 2nd or 3rd and gotten Jokinen. Ballard was a high pick, but has already been dealt twice (once by Buffalo in a Reinprecht/Drury deal). It makes me wonder what Howson offered.Once again, they lack a true #1 centerman. Marleau has not moved, but the longer this goes, the less likely that he moves. Columbus is still lacking a franchise defenseman. Schenn would have been that guy.I'll admit, Filatov has lots and lots of talent. His saving grace may be the fact that he was captain of his Russian WJC team. That, hopefully, personifies his desire to play the game and he won't take nights off like Zherdev. But, if I had my choice between Schenn and Filatov, it's a no brainer.

Another thought, ST...does this make Columbus the clubhouse leader in pursuit of Brian Campbell in FA? I would guess the answer is yes.

Myers has Chara dimensions, but we'll see how he does with the Sabres. From all I get, though, Myers has loads of upside.I think Myers is a stud or a bust. Many big defensemen are susceptible to speedy forwards on the outside because their pivots are slow. They say that he needs to work on his foot speed, and that's of no shock to me. His agility will probably be a question. I think he was a bit too much of a reach for a team that needs to get younger on the blue line. They should have gone with a pick like Teubert, a kid who is more well-rounded.Then too, Myers could be the next Pronger/Chara. He has the heavy shot already and the size that cannot be taught. If he can make the adjustments to play a better transition game while skating backwards and play effective physically, as the knock on him is that he is not a physical player, he should be able to succeed as a top 4.Word is that he is extremely skilled with the stick. That's huge, assuming that he doesn't become a defenseman known for taking bad penalties under the circles. He definitely has upside, but at only 205 pounds in that 6'7" frame, he's got a lot of building to do. He's a project, similar to the Boris Valabik pick by the Thrashers. Valabik's been a bit of a bust so far, not playing any NHL games after being drafted in '04 at 10 overall.As the Sabres are my favorite team, I'm hoping he's more of a Chara than he is a Valabik. I still would have liked to see them take Teubert, not to mention that LA was probably taking him all along and trading the 3rd rounder to move up was completely unnecessary.You have to wonder how good Schenn made Myers look too. Schenn's a franchise defenseman and Howson made a big gaffe letting Toronto move ahead of him to take him. Filatov may be sound, but I firmly believe Schenn will be a Norris Trophy candidate one day.Another thought, ST...does this make Columbus the clubhouse leader in pursuit of Brian Campbell in FA? I would guess the answer is yes.One of Redden or Campbell is absolutely necessary for this team to contend. As is getting a top flight center, or at least a center comparable to Umberger so one of them can, hopefully, overachieve.

buckeyehoppy wrote:Myers, for the most part, is still a boy growing into a man's body. I saw the same measurables at 6'7"/205#. Damn...what a toothpick. Still, as someone who follows the Sabres among other teams, I like his upside. It is a reach to take him as high as they did, but the Sabres could have a find if Myers pans out.
I'm pretty sure Howson didn't do all he could to grab Schenn. And to lose him to the perpetually mediocre Leafs didn't earn him much respect in league circles, to be sure.The Jackets, almost assuredly, will be spending large jack in FA. I think Campbell would be a definite upgrade over Foote, as would Redden. But I have seen more of Campbell and could imagine him doing great things in Columbus.
A final note on Umberger would be that I prefer to think that Hitch has the same chance to do with him what he has apparently done with Hejda. As with Umberger, I saw a little more with Hejda than you have. But Hejda is a pretty good fit with Hitch's system, by and large. Getting a first line C still seems like a necessity even after getting Umberger. But I'm sure that Umberger, at worst, will be a pretty solid anchor for a second line. If Hitch can get him to work solidly with Nash, more power to him.

Skating Tripods wrote:...being 6'7" and playing like you are 5'10" doesn't impress me. I've seen scouting videos on the kid and he shies away from the physical game. If I were 6'7" and any weight, I would hit any and everything. Like I said, I still would have liked Teubert. Myers looks like a rebuilding pick. And if they're going into rebuilding, that means Miller goes and the reins get handed to Enroth. That's a risk.
Skating Tripods wrote:I'm not sure where the Jackets are going to get a ton of money to spend on FA. Obviously, they have the cap room. But as a small/mid market team, funds aren't easy to find. Hopefully Ted Ruth continues to develop and they could, hypothetically, have a D of:Campbell/Klesla-Klesla/ReddenTollefson-RussellHejda-Ruthwithin the next 3-4 years.For what it's worth, Columbus took Cody Goloubef, a defenseman out of Wisconsin, with their 2nd round selection. I've seen him projected as a first round talent, as well as about where he was taken. This is a pick I absolutely love. CBJ traded their 4th rounder to move down and took Steven Delisle, another defenseman, from the Quebec Major Junior League. He's 6'6" 209, so he must really be a project. They picked up another 4th from the Flyers and took Drew Olson (5'11" 215) from Brainerd HS in Minnesota.With three 5th round selections, the Jackets took LW Matthew Calvert from the Brandon Wheat Kings of the WHL; Tomas Kubalik a RW from the Czech Republic, and Brent Regner, another D, from Chicoutimi of the QMJHL.They have their regular picks in the 6th and 7th round barring any deals.
Skating Tripods wrote:Umberger shouldn't see first line minutes, but he probably will. The only real top C out there in FA are Pavol Demitra (who has primarily played at RW and been hurt) and Martin Straka, but I'm wary on Straka.I'm not sure that I can foresee any chemistry with Nash for Umberger. He's a decent distributor of the puck, but what Rick Nash really needs is a Ron Francis type player. Obviously not to his caliber, but a guy with laser like accuracy passing the puck.Umberger is a Hitchcock type player in that he won't take any shifts off. But, his talent ceiling is that of a second-line C. I firmly believe that.This is another reason why the Filatov pick bothers me. If he was a C that could play a good two way game with tremendous speed and good passing, then sure. He has the finishing ability, but Columbus needs distributors. He is not one.

buckeyehoppy wrote:That's part of what makes Chara such a stud. He has the size and uses it to his advantage. How well Myers can learn his style of play and work to gain 20# or so will tell the story with him.I did say he was a reach at #12, so the Sabres taking him as a presumed project player suggests they are already in a rebuild. Miller would be useful to several teams. But he can't do it on his own. He needs a brutal blue line in front of him to clear the crease. He had that for a while the past few seasons in Buffalo, but started losing pieces this year.I think the Sabres will be one of those teams that will perpetually be on the periphery unless they can assemble a FO like the Braves or the Athletics did in baseball and just build from within the systemand be prudent in the trading of prospects. That takes a lot of work, but, obviously, it can be done. More and more, it will have to be done in places like Buffalo and Columbus where the big time money and fan base is typically inconsistent.That's why Myers seems like a riskier proposition than the Sabres can really afford.
Would you think that Goloubef will crack the line-up before Filatov under the circumstances? Filatov is young and might be NHL-ready. But Goloubef played at Wisconsin and they're in a league which does a pretty good job of sending guys to the NHL with a good, basic skill set that mirrors lots of NHL style programs.I like Wisconsin's style of play. Here's hoping the Jackets can get a little lightning in a bottle with this kid because they need to start getting some blue liners who can lay down the law in the crease.
Straka is a guy I've always liked. But he's getting up there and really hasn't fulfilled all the promise that he could have.It doesn't mean that either he or Demitra couldn't spur Nash to greater achievement. I think either one could, but neither one is an ideal player that you would think of to pair off with a perennial all-star.But there is always a degree of luck that goes into a successful campaign. Straka has always been a steady, if not spectacular, player. That might be who Nash needs to be paired off with at this stage of his career. Ron Francis was always steady but not spectacular. But he found an additional gear later in his career and became more than just a serviceable player. Perhaps Straka or Demitra could become that kind of player and the way the league is, the chemistry is typically a crap shoot. Howson might just have to bite the bullet. He couldn't get the Jokinen deal done, so now he has limited options. Howson will have to deal with that fact through FA.

Together we can explore the underlying causes of anger. I believe there are many types of anger and often we have misdirected anger and underlying causes. We can explore and differentiate between justified and irrational anger and learn ways to handle frustrations. Increasing frustration tolerance and learning to think about situations differently is helpful for managing anger.

I really like this make up! I feel good about putting something without a lot of chemicals on my face! I didn't know what shade to purchase, so went with the Light Beige, since my skin tone is light, and it is perfect!

My skin didn't tolerate this foundation very well, as it clogged my pores. The colour was also a little darker than I expected (I usually need a foundation in between fair and medium), and it was difficult to get it to apply evenly and blend well, even with a foundation brush.
I have to get this more

Since it's aloe vera based, texture is quite unusual and you have to get used to putting it on. But it's a great foundation - non-toxic, and I really love the SPF.
not so great

it doesn't stay on my skin. Not very smooth.
