Willie Nelson Duets With Carrie Underwood On 'Always On My Mind'
Subscribe to KXRB-AM 1000 on
The new Willie Nelson album 'To All The Girls..' features the Country Music Hall of Famer singing duets with female artists ranging from Norah Jones and Mavis Staples to fellow Country Hall of Famers Emmylou Harris and Loretta Lynn.
For my money, Willie is the greatest song stylist in the history of Country Music, and each cut from the album features the unique Willie voice with the most beautiful female voices in any musical genre'.
And yes, Willie (and the ladies) put new spin's on some old classic's, like the one above with Carrie Underwood, a Willie Nelson signature classic.
Also included on the album is a great cut with Rosanne Cash on the Kris Kristofferson's penned 'Please Don't Tell Me How The Story Ends'.
Now there's no question I'm biased, but truly, on this album Willie Nelson and his guests have hit not only a Home Run, but a Grand Slam!

have soft spot for certain fashion publications. "Vanity Fair" Italia is one of them. I remember sitting in my Atelier back couple of years ago on Sunday, with a badge of fresh Issues of numerous fashion magazines, flipping through the pages of "Vanity Fair" Italia and thinking how cool would it be to one day see my hats on the pages of it. If one lesson I learned through the years of operating my Millinery is that dreams do come true. Not only that, but they do come true and than some. So thrilled to see three of my hats gracing the pages of "Vanity Fair" Italy, March 2014 Issue. I just LOVE saying it: "Vanity Fair" Italia, "Vanity Fair" Italia, "Vanity Fair" Italia! Lol I can go on...
Two separate editorials, both styled by the amazing, sweet, extraordinary visionary-stylist Selin Bursalioglu (I am such a big fan of her work!) include hats of my Atelier:
"Avatar" hat created for my "Sanctum" 2013 Collection you see on the picture above in a dark editorial titled "Prendere Il Volo".
Another hat titled "The Thief: Ruby Hunter" of "Confessions" 2014 Collection is also appearing in the same "Prendere Il Volo" editorial.
Finally, "Blue Lagoon" hat, also initially created for my 'Sanctum" Collection 2013, looks beautiful in "Pop Tribale" editorial for the same issue of "Vanity Fair" Italia. What a great way to start my weekend. :-) My April Session of my Millinery School is in full progress and I am enjoying not only the company of amazing, talented, very accomplished people who came to stay with me for the entire month of April, but I am also looking forward to many more press coverage we works so hard to obtain. I will share every bit of it with you. Have a wonderful weekend!

A Chinese New Year At The Joss House
WEAVERVILLE, Calif. - People celebrated the year of the snake at the Joss House in Weaverville, and had a great time doing it.
There, they enjoyed the annual "Lion Dance," a tradition to bring good fortune and ward off evil spirits in the coming year.
When the "lions" approach, people give them red packets with money inside. Before the dance is over, the lions are challenged to eat something green like lettuce and spit it out... this signifies abundance.
Firecrackers scared away a giant beast that appears at the New Year.
Paul Taslim of Redding said although there aren't many Chinese in Trinity County now, it's important to remember their contributions. The ceremony is "to make [...] people aware of what the Chinese did in the past," Taslim said. "I'm proud of the whole community."
Randy Bashaw of Hayfork coordinates the lion dance. "I think the thing they left was the diversity of the community."
Bashaw said he believes that it's important to keep the traditions alive.
" I think that's the most important part," Bashaw said. "I think we are a diverse world."
The Joss house is the oldest continuously used Taoist temple in California. It was built in 1874 by Chinese who came here during the gold rush to mine gold to send it back to China.
Finally, the lions danced through downtown Weaverville stopping at businesses to bring them good fortune in the coming year.
If you'd like to check out a lion dance, the Weaverville Joss House Association also holds them on Fourth of July weekend.

Acoustically absorbant materials for cabinets
Does anyone know of any information that pertains to the absorption properties of different materials? In other words the absorption characteristics of materials at different frequencies?
I am looking to build some loudspeakers out of materials that are not "conventional", more specifically out of a liquid "Corian" type which will be rigid (and light) with an inner coating of thermoset material that will act as a sound dampener.
If this type of information is not readily available is there any rule of thumb as to the absorption characteritics of materials (such as rubbery materials are more absorptive than rigid materials etc)?

The inner layer you propose is pretty much a waste of time and money. Such compounds are very useful in car doors or flimsily built cabinets that cannot be properly braced, but in a very rigid cabinet such as you would get with Corian you probably need not bother. These materials are good for absorbing low frequency vibrations, but if you build the cabinet right in the first place they are neither required nor desired on the cabinet interior. Such materials can be quite useful when used as viscous damping layers sandwiched between rigid structural layers.
What you must do is make the interior completely non-reflective of frequencies short enough that they can reflect back to the cone at significant angles of phase, ie, the midrange. That is best accomplished with an inch of high density rigid fiberglas batting, but if you can't find any or if it's not adequately user friendly use an inch of high-density polyester furniture upholstery batting.

I respectfully disagree with Bill. The corian has a high resonant frequency by itself and the soft goop type of material will damp out the resonance at those higher frequencies making a very dead cabinet. I've made such cabinets but have also added absorbant batting to stop the reflected waves as Bill mentioned.
If it sounds good... it is good!

Thanks Bill and Mark.
What worries me about using just a rigid cabinet material is the internal reflections and their impinging on the cone material.
My idea was (is?) to use a rigid outer skeleton and say a 1" thick inner sound absorbant layer. The sound absorbant layer would be composed of a highly flexible material containing particulate matter. The theory behind this is that any sound waves that enter the flexible material will be dispersed within it by reflection from the particles thus absorbing and disipating the energy.
I stress that this is just a theory - which is why I needed the data on the acoustical response of various materials!
I take it that more flexible materials are better absorbents?
BTW, I am a polymer chemist by profession and formulating the products and moulding this type of enclosure would be up my alley.

Since you are molding the cab, interior shape is what you would want to use to diffuse and or dissipate the reflections because different materials absorb over relatively narrow frequency ranges. That inner coating, like Mark said, is a great idea for damping the resonance of the corian.
Everyone has a photographic memory. It's just that most are out of film.

You probably need not worry about damping the resonance of the Corian, so long as it is cast sufficiently stiff. In enclosures, we are concerned not only with the frequency of resonance, but also the amplitude of resonance given a specified energy input. Damping helps lower the amplitude of resonance, but so does adding more stiffness for a given panel mode (i.e., adding more stiffness and mass in combination). Thick Corian will have both mass and stiffness in spades, relative to something like MDF, and thus it is unlikely that damping would be of (relatively) much benefit.
Also, the particulate thermoset will likely be reflective at high frequencies, though I don't have any data on hand to prove that. Bill's suggestion to use a porous broadband absorber like rigid fiberglass is spot on.

The one and only
Bill's suggestion is spot on, but any additional crap you
care to coat it with won't hurt, either.

Bill and Nelson are spot on. There is no mysterious way to dampen a poorly built cabinet.

I think that polypropylene has very good internal damping properties, so if Corian's anything like that it should an ok material to use.
One thing to remember is that with conventional magnet-based speakers - due to the laws of physics - the bulk of the mass vibrates with reversed polarity to the cone. This means that if the speaker is solidly connected to the baffle, transverse waves will ripple outward along the box material. Making the baffle out of a stiffer material will increase the velocity of those vibrations, and will thus increase the lowest frequency of box/panel resonances. However, it may or may not decrease their amplitude. That depends on how absorptive the cabinet material is.
A suitable material would have to somehow absorb a lot of energy every time that it bends, rather than store the energy. Therefore I'd look for a material that has a very low yield strength, whilst being stiff enough and hard enough to be usable. Alternatively, use a block of granite/concrete etc for a box of such high mass that those transverse waves won't ever cause any problems anyway.
As for stopping internal air vibrations from affecting the cone (and thus escaping from inside the box), there are several methods...
1) Increase the internal volume of the box relative to the surface area of the cone.
2) Increase the rate at which acoustic energy is absorbed in the box by decreasing the thermal resistance between the air and its surroundings (adding stuffing materials, etc).
3) Optimize the internal design of the box to maximize the amount of time before reflections return to the cone (labirynth, snail shell, etc).
4) Choose a speaker with a very high mass per cone area, so that it's relatively unaffected by sound inside the box. Or, back in the real world: use a very stiff cone so it maintains the same moving mass even at high frequencies. Aluminium cones are decades better than paper in this respect.
5) Choose a speaker with a very low Qes value, meaning that the amplifier will very effectively dampen unwanted vibrations, as long as output resistance is close to zero = high damping factor. In practice, it's commonly observed that there's not much difference due to different damping factors, unless it's extremely low (by today's standards) which causes subjective improvement/worsening of sound.
6) Use a specially tuned and EQ'd amplifier with negative output impedance to effectively make the speaker's Qes even lower.
7) Use some acoustic feedback or microphone calibration system to cancel out existing resonances, to stop them from emanating from the speaker's cone. This relies on stiff speaker cones and a sturdy box for good performance, otherwise the off-axis sound will be badly corrupted.
For the perfect loudspeaker, I'd use as many of the above methods as possible. Achieving truly great sound is not that easy or cheap as you can see.

Thanks for the detailed info CeramicMan.
However, Corian is nothing really like PolyProp although both are polymers. Corian is subjectively a filled version of PMM (polymethyl methacrylate) - Perspex or Plexiglass as you might now them.
The filler significantly increases the hardness of the polymer so the end result is a rigid, inflexible material with a specific gravity (density) of around say 2 (cf 1 for water). Thus I would expect it to be highly reflective of sound waves and the down side there-of.
How would a "prime number" cabinet work out i.e. 3, 5 or 7 sided? The back of the cabinet facing the drive units should be an angle in each and thus not a 180 degree reflective surface.
Standing waves could be a problem I suspect....

I travelled to Welland, Ontario to spend Christmas with Rosie and Sonny, my cousins.
I had put in an order for a White Christmas, but the weather was "not normal" Ontario weather--you know the kind that stays cold with snow. It went from frigid to warm; snow one day and pouring rain the next, resulting in slick and icy conditions. But right on cue, snow arrived for Christmas Eve and Christmas Day, and then was clear to allow Sonny and Rosie to take me to Pearson Airport to fly to England on the 27th of December.
Between R&R, catching up on happenings and preparing for & celebrating Christmas, the time just flew. A highlight amongs many was celebrating a traditional Slovak Christmas with Rosie's parents, Mr. & Mrs. Michal. The Stdry Vecer (Christmas Eve) meal consists of special meatless dishes. The table is prepared with a sweet and sour menu, to represent the joy and sorrow of life's pathway. Food includes honey, garlic, bobalky, sauerkraut and mushroom soup, and pirohy.
Christmas was made extra special by sharing it with Rosie and Sonny's family, and enjoying their special warmth and love.

Million Dollar Neighborhood
District Attorney George Gascón announced Monday his office will use the Department of Justice grant as part of a "Safer Together Consortium" to address those victimized and affected by crime in the Bayview Hunters Point neighborhood.
Gascon and Supervisor Malia Cohen say they will partner with agencies to use an out of the box approach as the grant will support research, counseling and intervention.
According to the San Francisco Police and the FBI, violent crimes are nearly three times higher in the Bayview than elsewhere in the city. The neighborhood also has the city's highest rate of alcohol and drug abuse.

Nov. 2, 2012
NEW YORK, N.Y. -- The National Hockey League announced Friday (Nov. 2) the cancellation of the Bridgestone NHL Winter Classic that was slated to be held at Michigan Stadium on Jan. 1, 2013. The NHL's decision was necessary because, given the absence of a new collective bargaining agreement between the NHL Players' Association and the NHL, the league was not in a position to do all that is necessary to adequately stage an event of this magnitude.
The NHL also cancelled the Sirius XM Hockeytown Winter Festival that was to include the Great Lakes Invitational played outdoors Dec. 27-28 at Comerica Park. Instead, the 48th annual GLI, featuring Michigan, Michigan Tech, Michigan State and Western Michigan, will be moved to Joe Louis Arena on Saturday and Sunday, Dec. 29-30.
"This is an unfortunate announcement but one that looked imminent given the current labor situation between the NHL and its players," said Dave Brandon, the Donald R. Shepherd Director of Athletics at the University of Michigan. "We knew this was a possibility, but we stayed prepared in the event the labor dispute would get resolved."
The NHL announced concurrently with the cancellation of the 2013 game that the next Bridgestone NHL Winter Classic will be held at the Big House.
"Our relationship with the NHL has been terrific," added Brandon. "Both parties have a mutual interest in making the Winter Classic a successful and historic event. We are glad they committed to bring the next game to the Big House, matching the Red Wings and Maple Leafs."
Michigan rented the Big House to the National Hockey League for its annual outdoor hockey game on New Year's Day 2013. The 2013 Bridgestone NHL Winter Classic was to feature the Detroit Red Wings and the Toronto Maple Leafs, Original Six members of the league. Everything will remain intact and shift to the next outdoor game.
Any ticket refunds will be handled directly by the NHL, Red Wings and Maple Leafs.
The GLI semifinals on Dec. 29 will pit Michigan State against Western Michigan 3:30 p.m., followed by Michigan vs. Michigan Tech at 7 p.m. The third-place and championship games are scheduled for 3:30 and 7 p.m., respectively, on Dec. 30.

Hawke's Bay stockcar driver Randal Tarrant had every right to be feeling a little apprehensive when he turned up for the provincial championship at Meeanee on Saturday night.
A week earlier his Bay clubmate and one of the hardest hitters in the class, Mike McLachlan, had warned Tarrant he would do everything possible to prevent him from winning the title.
However, McLachlan or "Mr Speedway", as he is better known because of his passion for the sport, was a late withdrawal.
"Mike hadn't recovered from his sore back collected when racing for the Hawkeyes at the Superstock Teams Champs in Palmy last weekend, and that proved to be a lucky omen for me tonight," Tarrant said before the prizegiving for the 17-car championship.
Tarrant, 19, became the youngest driver to win the championship when his first placing and two seconds in Saturday night's three heats saw him beat Bay clubmate Grant Hollyman by four points in the battle for the title. What made the win more of a feat was the fact he didn't require any assistance from his father Beatle.
"It was an awesome night. The track was good and it was neat to win in front of a good crowd," Tarrant said referring to the 3000-strong crowd.
An apprentice mechanic with Ruataniwha Automotive in Waipawa, Tarrant was looking forward to giving his boss and major sponsor Ross Hatfull a positive report on the night's racing at morning smoko today. He hopes his luck continues when he travels to major meetings in Rotorua and Auckland during the coming month.
Defending champion Tony Palmer of the host club won the first heat and did well to finish third in the championship after completing most of the third heat with a puncture on his right wheel. As expected, there was plenty of hard hits for the fans and just eight of the 17 starters were left in the third heat after seven of the 15 laps were completed.
Experienced Meeanee Mauler Marty Cooke and fellow Bay driver Joshua Smith were both shoved up the wall during this heat.
Classy Rotorua driver David Elsworth retained his Under-25 Superstocks Grand Nationals title. Elsworth, 22, recorded first, second and third placings in his three heats of the 14-car event to capture the first prize of $1500.
Last year, Elsworth won the East Coast Championship in his next outing at Meeanee after the Grand Nationals.
When asked if he could complete the double again, Elsworth replied: "That's the aim and this season I'll be coming here for the Autumn Nationals too.
"I think I've only ever had one bad meeting here. Other than that I've always been on the podium. Tri-rails like mine love this track."
An agricultural contractor, Elsworth, intends to put his prizemoney into his travelling fund. He beat Palmerston North's Chad Ace by one point and 3NZ Thomas Stanaway was a further two points back in third place.
A last minute entry, Zac Lawrence, did the best of the Hawke's Bay starters with an eighth placing.
Lawrence drover Michael Peryer's car and this was his first taste of racing in this class.
One of the Bay's best hopes pre meeting, Quinn Ryan, did well to finish fifth in the first heat off grid 11 but two DNFs put him out of the prize money.

text: Wow! Does this thing get a bad knock in some circle. In short, a thoroughly enjoyable, relaxing, extremely efficient (10+ pulls per load) and very smooth vapor experience. I concede the angle problem that some have pointed out. However, I see this is a problem with some other vapes, such as the DBV also (though not as pronounced). A vape that gets stellar marks. Well, I can't see why the VB doesn't get those same marks. The VB HF likes a coarse grind, light and fluffy. The VB HF will turn everything into a very even, deep dark brown. I start out at 12'oclock until its warm, which is a pleasantly quick 5 minutes. Then, before I insert the whip, I bump it down to about 11, for the first pull and 9:30 - 10 for the rest. At the end, I'll kick it back up to 12. After the first 3-4 hits, vapor takes a bit more time to build up. This is where you really notice how draw speed (air flow) effects your vapor density. The VB makes a VERY good mixture and soon after you start pulling on what you might assume, is a AVB load at this time, returns another 4 milky and tasty hits. I pull the whip after the 2nd hit, dump and stir. Then I'll stir after every 2 hits. I leave the whip inserted, otherwise. Since you're not drawing that air through and the element has some distance between itself and the herb... it doesn't get hot enough to produce vapor. Once you start the draw however, within seconds... you're pulling a nice milky cloud. As I've said. I think Vapor Brothers gets a bum rap and this vape doesn't get enough credit. Its the most copied vape, in the history of vapes, for a reason... besides, its easy to build. The design works. It works well. Other than the common angle complaint, there isn't anything I could ask them to do, to improve on it. Smooth, easy, extremely low drag pull off a whip and one of the best vapes for tasting your strains. While there isn't any visual temp control other than a chart they supply with the unit and markings on the dial, but its not numeral indicators. Finding the right temp, is easy, however. Just adjust off the 1st couple pulls. Once set, temperature stays ROCK steady. These units, do NOT fluctuate temp (which is a big hit on the knock-offs). The medication takes, with a pleasant easing you into whatever state you need to be in. A very casual and relaxing way to vape. It really is a great unit. I had it set up on my bed table the other night. Loaded up a nice Indica. Grabbed my SSFG and just a nice chill time getting to where I wanted to be. Took my time, no rush and really no maintenance, other than an occasional stir. Performance-wise, I think it warrants the $199 price tag, people complain about. It operates as well as any $200 vape I've tried. Plus, I would love to sit down with ANY person that has had a bad experience with one of the knock-offs and introduce them to the real deal. Solid A. Would be A+, if not for the angle issue, like the DBV. Haven't found any other fault in it, to knock it down. Its exceeded my expectations. Oops. Forgot a picture.

A massive media campaign was launched by the Central Agency to spread news about government's decision to allow bedoon to work in the governmental sector; something that has been banned since the 1986 bill was approved. Newspapers were filled for days with interviews and reports about the preparations made to receive Bedoon applicants. However, all of this turned out to be only another wave of state propaganda.
The requirements for applicants included the 1965 census, a B.A degree. Those requirements made the Bedoon call the alleged employment criteria "Mission impossible" since the majority are not given access to public education, especially higher education.
According to the Central Agency, only 1% of Bedoon 1965 census holders have higher degrees which shows how the agency is conducting this trick about the right to employment. It also requires applicants who have no 'security holds' (which are fabricated by the agency) and should wait for over twenty thousands of Kuwaitis to get employed before getting the chance to be hired!
Today, Al-Qabas newspaper reported that an official stated that there is no official decision made by the civil service or the ministries council regarding the employment of Bedoon. He also added that the conditions indicated in the Central Agency's statements make no sense because expatriates who apply for jobs do not have a second priority but get jobs wherever they are needed in the government sect and they form now 26% of the work force.

I was asked (along with Dave Cormier and George Siemens):
"How might it be possible to show that cMOOCs are effective for
learning, in the sense of providing evidence that institutions might
accept so as to support opening up more courses to outside participants (a
la ds106, Alec Couros' EC&I 831, etc.)? Or, more generally,
providing evidence that participation in and facilitating cMOOCs is
worthy of support by institutions... What I'm looking for are criteria one might use to say that a cMOOC is successful. What should participants be getting out of cMOOCs?"
I think the best way to understand success in a MOOC is by analogy with, say a book, or a game, or a trip to the city.
The person taking the MOOC is like a person reading a book, playing a
game, or taking a trip to the city. It is impossible to talk about 'the
objective' of such an activity - some people want to learn something
(and others something else), others are doing it for leisure (and others
as part of their job), others to make friends (and others to get away
from their friends for a while), etc.
If we were a commercial enterprise we could focus on sales. Then we
could focus an ad campaign on the actual reasons people take MOOCs -
but we wouldn't need to worry about whether they were met, only about
whether our advertising enticed people to pay the fee. But I think that's
a pretty narrow criterion for success.
I would adopt George's suggestion, and look to the institutional goals
for offering MOOCs. But again here we find a wide array of interests:
some want to use MOOCs as advertising, to entice people to enrol in
other courses; others want to experiment with new methods of delivering
learning; others want to support products or services they sell; still
others want to serve a social good and provide free learning from the
community. Each objective will have its own metric for success.
My own response treats a MOOC for what it is: a network. I then ask
whether it satisfied the properties of a successful network. I can do
this from two perspectives: first, from a process perspective; and
second, from an outcomes perspective.
The process perspective asks whether the MOOC satisfied the criteria for
successful networks. Of these, the most important are contained in what
I call the Semantic Condition, which ensures that the MOOC remains a
living system. The semantic condition contains four parts: autonomy,
diversity, openness, and interactivity. The MOOC is assessed against
each of these and a degree of compliance may be found.
The outcomes perspective looks at the MOOC as a knowing system. By that
what I mean is that the MOOC should exhibit network properties on a
macro scale - in other words, that we should be able to say things about
the MOOC without reference to particular individuals in the MOOC. This
is to treat the MOOC as an entity which perceives, or which learns, as
a whole. These things are emergent properties, for example, emergent
knowledge or emergent learning. Did the MOOC as a whole produce some new
insight, or recognize some new phenomenon in its area of study?
MOOC success, in other words, is not individual success. We each have
our own motivations for participating in a MOOC, and our own rewards,
which may be more or less satisfied. But MOOC success emerges as a
consequence of individual experiences. It is not a combination or a sum
of those experiences - taking a poll won't tell us about them - but rather a result of how those experiences combined or meshed together.
This may not reflect what institutional funders want to hear. But my
thinking and hope is that over th long term MOOCs will be
self-sustaining, able to draw participants who can see the value of a
MOOC for what it is, without needing to support narrow and specific commercial or personal learning objectives.

Arsène Wenger believes the FA Cup retains its glamour even if some clubs field weakened sides in the competition.
Tottenham manager Harry Redknapp threatened to rest a number of key players for their Fourth-Round tie at Manchester United in the wake of their midweek exertions in the Carling Cup and a pressing need to steer clear of the Premier League drop zone.
Redknapp's comments, made after Spurs edged a gruelling encounter with Burnley after extra time, sparked accusations that Tottenham were 'devaluing' the FA Cup. Wenger played down those criticisms when the topic was raised at his pre-match press conference on Friday.
"Harry Redknapp is responsible for Tottenham and I leave him with his statements," said the Frenchman.
"I personally think that the question of whether the competition has been devalued has been asked for years and still everybody fights to be at Wembley.
"It can be that some clubs have different priorities like Tottenham at the moment. They might have different worries but overall the FA Cup is still a glamorous competition."Copyright 2017 The Arsenal Football Club plc.

Anthopologists, social scientists who embed themselves in obscure cultures, are finding new revenue sources in corporate marketing. Long employed by resources companies to assist with land ownership cases, they are now moving into product promotion. According to The Atlantic magazine, one US consultancy enlists the academics to attend private social parties where they mingle while analysing and then documenting guests' relationship to products, such as vodka. Companies are keen to take advantage since liquor does well in times of economic uncertainty. Sales hit $19.9 billion in the US in 2011, up 4 per cent on the previous year.
A Seattle clinic is pioneering a euthanasia program for cancer patients.The Seattle Cancer Center Alliance's program, Death with Dignity, offers patients with poor life expectancy prescriptions for a lethal drug. Before obtaining the script, patients have to pass through interviews, endure a waiting period and submit to screening. According to a report in The New England Journal of Medicine, of 114 patients who applied to participate in the program, 40 collected a prescription but only 24 chose to take the medication. Doctors at the US clinic are yet to receive a family member complaint, despite one patient remaining alive for longer than the expected 35 minutes, which they acknowledge was distressing.
The disease outbreak in Sydney's Hawkesbury River that has killed millions of oysters and caused severe financial damage to local farmers, may be due in part to commercial shipping patterns, according to Professor
Experiments from his research team confirmed hoisting adult oysters higher out of the water during the warmer months gives them a 50 per cent lower mortality rate.
Diseases spread in higher summer water temperatures and farmers this winter will hasten to grow disease-resistant oysters before the water warms .
Asthmatic kids need a health kick more than others, an Australian study has confirmed. Scientists have long suspected fast food leads to more severe asthma symptoms and that fibre has an anti-inflammatory effect.
Research published in Respirology has added to growing evidence that obesity is connected to the disease, finding that diets low in fibre and high in fat led to a decrease in lung function and an increase in airway inflammation.
Earlier this year a study published in Thorax surveyed children in New Zealand, Spain, Australia, Germany and Britain, and found that children were 40 per cent more likely to have severe asthma if they ate fast food more than three times a week

(CNSNews.com) - A report in Tuesday's Washington Post discusses Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson's "legacy of federal interventionism," a surprise to those who know him, the paper said.
Paulson, once a "skeptic of government meddling," has "engineered a series of massive federal intrusions into the markets while persuading reluctant bank executives and influential politicians to fall in behind him," the newspaper said.
According to the Post, Paulson is about to unveil proposals urging President-elect Barack Obama and the new Congress to give the federal government broad new authorities to take over any failing financial institution, not just banks.
In an op-ed in Tuesday's New York Times, Paulson describes the current financial crisis as "more severe and unpredictable than any in our lifetimes," and he defends his decision to abruptly shift how the bailout money will be used. (Congress is expected to press him on the latter point.)
He also indirectly confirmed reports that he will reserve $350 billion of the $700 billion in congressionally authorized bailout funds for the Obama administration to spend as it sees fit.
As Paulson put it, "We have preserved the flexibility of President-elect Barack Obama and the new secretary of the Treasury to address the challenges in the economy and capital markets they will face."
The op-ed is a preview of what Paulson is expected to tell lawmakers when the House Financial Services Committee grills him on Tuesday.
In the op-ed, Paulson writes that he originally intended to strengthen the banking system by purchasing bad mortgages and mortgage-backed securities of banks and financial institutions. That's what he told Congress he would do when he asked for the emergency "rescue" funds.
"But the severity and magnitude of the situation had worsened to such an extent that an asset purchase program would not be effective enough, quickly enough," Paulson wrote. "Therefore, exercising the authority granted by Congress in this legislation, we quickly deployed a $250 billion capital injection program, fully anticipating we would follow that with a program for buying troubled asset."
Lacking a "playbook" for such an unprecedented crisis, Paulson said he adjusted his strategy, "always keeping focused on our goal: to stabilize a financial system that is integral to the everyday lives of all Americans."
Not enough money
According to Paulson, "A troubled-asset purchase program, to be effective, would require a huge commitment of money. In mid-September, before economic conditions worsened, $700 billion in troubled asset purchases would have had a significant impact. But half of that sum, in a worse economy, simply isn't enough firepower," he added.
"We decided it was prudent to reserve our TARP money, maintaining not only our flexibility, but also that of the next administration."
Paulson said the $250 billion the federal government has used to buy bank stocks "is strong medicine for our financial institutions." Paulson said the capital injections allows banks to absorb losses as they write down or sell troubled assets. "And stronger capitalization is essential to increasing lending, which is vital to economic recovery."
Paulson emphasized that the financial bailout legislation was intended to stabilize the financial system. "It is not a panacea for all our economic difficulties," he said. He also said an economic recovery will happen much faster because of the financial bailout program.
"I am very proud of the decisive actions by the Treasury Department, the Federal Reserve and the F.D.I.C. to stabilize our financial system," Paulson wrote. "We have done what was necessary as facts and conditions in the market and economy have changed, adjusting our strategy to most effectively address the crisis. We have preserved the flexibility of President-elect Barack Obama and the new secretary of the Treasury to address the challenges in the economy and capital markets they will face."
Paulson said the nation's banking system is "significantly more stable" than it was. And as Congress moves forward, "the failure of a major bank is no longer a pressing concern," he said.

Butchery in Woolwich
Combine a meat-cleaver murder by Islamist radicals in the streets of London with the U.K. tabloid press and Twitter, and you get something as bizarre as it was gruesome.
At about 2:20 p.m. on May 22, two men driving in the suburban south London area of Woolwich crashed their car into a young man. He was wearing a T-shirt from the charity Help for Heroes, which assists former soldiers. The two assailants jumped out and attacked the man with a knife and cleaver. One of them, his hands red with blood, then demanded that a passer-by film a statement from him. As he spoke, a woman pulling a shopping trolley wandered past.
"Beheaded..On a British Street" says the front-page headline of the Daily Mirror. It's unclear whether the man's head was cut off.
A local rapper called Boya Dee , said he stumbled onto the scene while going out "to buy some fruit and veg." He began sending messages on Twitter: "Ohhhhh myyyy God!!! I just see a man with his head chopped off right in front of my eyes!" When the police arrived, Boya Dee sent another message. "The first guy goes for the female fed with the machete," he said, referring to the police woman. "And she not even ramping she took man out like robocop never seen nutn like it." By ramping, he meant messing around.
A woman called Ingrid Loyau-Kennett, aged 48, was on a passing No. 53 bus. She got off to see if she could do anything to help the victim. She said in interviews afterwards that one of the killers told her to leave the body alone and said in response to her questions that he had killed the man because he was a soldier. "He killed Muslims and I am fed up with people killing Muslims in Afghanistan. They have nothing to do there," she recalled him saying.
Witnesses described the men frantically chopping at the body as they chanted "Allahu akbar" as they killed him. Yet, according to Loyau-Kennett, the man she spoke to "was not high, he was not on drugs, he was not an alcoholic or drunk." Instead, she said, "he was in full control of his decisions and ready to do everything he wanted to do."
The murder in Woolwich appears to slot into a pattern of recent years, in which the killers -- like the Boston bombers and Mohamed Merah, who killed seven people, including three French soldiers and three Jewish children last year in France -- have been mostly young, of immigrant backgrounds, radicalized by Internet propaganda and self-directing.
Despite the gory details, media coverage of the Woolwich killing was surprisingly calm and rational. The newspapers reported on numerous denunciations of the attacks and provided news and analysis, but mostly avoided commentary. The Times and the Guardian, for example, chose to run nothing on their opinion pages. The Sun, the U.K.'s sensationalist tabloid, made the banal comment that "we must defy the extremists and stand shoulder-to-shoulder with our armed forces."
The Sun also published an article by Mark Almond, a historian at Oxford University. "Fanatics want to promote tension between Muslim migrants and the rest of us," Almond wrote. "The terrorists must be hoping that indignant ordinary Brits will pick on local Muslims. Yesterday's atrocity was insanity. The rest of us must not react according to the killers' logic."
The U.K. has had larger terrorist attacks in the past, including the London subway and bus bombings of July 7, 2005, when 52 people were killed. These appear to have had relatively little effect on relations between the country's religious communities. After yesterday's murder, a protest by about 250 supporters of an extremist group called the English Defence League, who clashed with police, has also had no wider resonance so far.
Yet across Europe, intolerance is growing. In some countries, such as the Netherlands, Greece and France, anti-immigrant and anti-Muslim sentiment is out in the open and finds expression in mainstream political parties. In the U.K., that isn't the case, although it does emerge in more coded ways. Such sentiment has become inextricably linked with the debate over whether to leave the European Union, for example. The Woolwich killing can help only the isolationist side in that argument.

Are you a Photographer or a Film maker?
By April 2014, we will publish a book and produce a short film titled The Splendour of South African Seas, a publication that all South Africans will become involved in producing.
The purpose of the project is to engender pride in our coast, its towns and the many activities it offers. South Africans from all over our shoreline as well as those inland will be asked to contribute photographs displaying what they cherish about our coast. From family days' at the beach, to scuba diving and exploring our rock pools, all these activities deserve recognition as part our coastal culture. Committees will be established in around 17 different towns around our coast and will help us liaise with the communities and engage interest. Yachtsmen, surfers, fishermen, holiday makers and everyone else who uses our coastline to make their lives happier and more fulfilled will be approached and asked to enter any hidden gems they might be holding onto.

Of the 10 million women who have died in pregnancy and childbirth since 1990, three-quarters of the deaths were preventable, primarily in Africa and South Asia. Millions of other women have been left with crippling injuries or illnesses as a result of poor care in childbirth. One of the most common birth-canal injuries, fistula, leaves many women so incontinent that they are ostracized by their families and villages.
For every woman who dies in childbirth or pregnancy, another 20 to 30 are left with illnesses and injuries that can be debilitating for life. And the consequences for the surviving children can be devastating. The children face a much higher risk of malnutrition, dropping out of school, or even death. Among infants who were born alive to mothers that died of maternal causes in Afghanistan, a study found that 74 per cent of the infants subsequently died too.
Even as economies improve, the deaths persist. India, with its booming economy, still suffers more than 135,000 maternal deaths every year. Despite the boom, India's government spends only 0.9 per cent of its gross domestic product on public-health services - one of the lowest percentages in the world. Its public-health clinics and hospitals are so under-equipped that they often refuse to admit pregnant women for fear they will die.
In the richest countries, too, there are pockets of high maternal deaths, revealing the patterns of poverty and inequality.
In the United States, for example, the maternal mortality rate among black women is 3.4 times higher than the rate for white women.
Many of the solutions are not expensive. A new study, released last month by the United Nations Population Fund and the Guttmacher Institute, estimates that 70 per cent of the world's maternal deaths - almost 400,000 lives - could be prevented if an additional $13-billion was spent annually on health care and family-planning services. The cost would be just a few dollars per capita. "It's not rocket science," the authors say. "What has taken so long?"
Most maternal deaths are caused by a brutally simple problem: a lack of health-care services. In the poorer countries of Africa and South Asia, the vast majority of women give birth at home, often lacking basic hygiene, because they cannot afford to travel to a hospital or clinic. Yet 15 per cent of these women suffer complications in labour, and usually there is nobody to help them. Millions of women with major complications get no treatment at all.
'It's almost like going into a killing field'
Even when hospitals and clinics exist, they are often so filthy and badly equipped that a pregnant woman stands a serious risk of dying from infection or bleeding. She enters the hospital and never returns.
In one regional hospital in Nigeria, a shocking 12 per cent of women are dying in childbirth. Many hospitals and clinics have no blood supplies, no antibiotics, and no running water. "It's almost like going into a killing field," says Sharmila Mhatre, a health specialist at the International Development Research Centre in Ottawa.
Afghanistan, where Canada has spent billions of dollars on foreign aid and military intervention, still remains one of the world's most dangerous places for women giving birth. About 25,000 women die from pregnancy-related complications in Afghanistan every year, and more than 90 per cent of deliveries take place at home, usually without any health attendants. The lifetime risk of maternal death in Afghanistan is one in eight - one of the worst rates in the world.
In five of India's poorest states, more than 90 per cent of primary health clinics do not have any blood-storage facilities - dooming women to death if they are bleeding heavily during labour complications - and more than 90 per cent cannot perform a Caesarian section.
"There's no way they can handle an emergency," says Jashodhara Dasgupta, co-ordinator of a women's health organization in India. "They don't want a death on their hands, so they keep turning women away, and they die on the road."
In Ethiopia, the government has drastically boosted its training programs for doctors and health extension workers, yet it is still handicapped by the exodus of thousands of doctors and nurses, lured away by better-paying jobs in Canada, the United States and Europe.
"I wish we had a trained person in my village," says Getachew Mesaye, the farmer who carried his sister for six hours to the nearest town. "If we did, we wouldn't be forced to travel all this distance to Addis Ababa."
He was lucky: He was able to borrow the equivalent of a year's income from other villagers to pay for his sister's transport and medical costs. But the loan repayments will burden him for years.Report Typo/Error

The One Where I Lived on a Coach Bus
I'm back everybody! After a very very very long week of traveling all over the Balkans, I am finally in one place for a week, which doesn't seem like a long time but it definitely is after the week I have had. I'll go destination by destination for this blog post!
After leaving Sarajevo, we headed for Banja Luka, capital of the entity Republika Srpska, located in Bosnia-Herzegovina. Just for a quick bit of background, Bosnia-Herzegovina was split during the Dayton Peace ...
Banja Luka
Our third stop in Bosnia, we are now in Republic Srpska in the city of Banka Luka! A lovely 5 hour train from Sarajevo, this riverside locale so far feels like a modern metropolis in comparison to the laid back old towns we have visited so far. Tomorrow is time to explore and enjoy the weekend, before boarding our uber budget flight (somehow cheaper than the 6 hour bus ride) to Belgrade on Monday followed by a night train to ...
Mystery Tourism
After several hours and two border crossings, we arrive at Banja Luka in Bosnia. Little did we know, that this supposed adventure tourism hub had been badly affected by the floods. This adversely affected the tourist industry, resulting in hours searching for hidden tourist agencies that may or may not exist. We ended the day settling for a dinner of delicious veal rolls with spicy Serbian salad and some World Cup ...

She also asked me how I was coping with the sudden change and traveling etc. She also apologised for everyone constantly speaking in Serbian and not ...

Lacassine's Madyson Brasseaux, left, goes up against St. Louis' Mary Guillory in Westlake. (Rick Hickman / Special to the American Press)
Last Modified: Thursday, November 28, 2013 7:27 PM
By Damian Juneau / Special to the American Press
WESTLAKE — The Barbe Bucs and the Lacassine Lady Cardinals were the big winners at the Iberia Bank Westlake Tournament Wednesday as they took home the championship trophies.
The Barbe Bucs used a big first quarter and third quarter to take a 46-34 win over the Westlake Rams, while the Lady Cardinals used a big first quarter and held on for a 66-52 win over the Sulphur Tors.
The Bucs jumped on the Rams early in the first quarter to take an 8-0 lead. Tyrone Stewart scored seven of the Bucs' 18 first-quarter points to take a 18-8 lead.
The Rams rallied in the second quarter after a 3-pointer by Chris Ledet cut the Bucs' lead to 19-14 with 3:40 to play before the half. The Rams outscored the Bucs 9-5 in the second quarter, but the Bucs held on for a 23-17 halftime lead.
"We were able to handle their pressure early on and get some transition buckets," said Barbe coach Carl Klein. "I thought defensively were able to extend a little bit and make them shoot some perimeter jump shots."
The third quarter saw both teams struggle to get going offensively as both teams turned the ball over several times. Ben Dix gave Barbe a 25-19 lead with 5:13 to play. Westlake went on a 5-0 to cut the Barbe lead to 25-24 with 2:03 remaining in the quarter. Rene Scott's 3-pointer with 1:40 stopped the Westlake run and gave Barbe a 28-24 lead.
The big momentum swing came in the final 26 seconds of the quarter. Barbe went on a 7-0 run to close out the quarter and ended with a half-court shot at the buzzer by Devin Anderson to take a 35-26 lead going into the fourth quarter.
Jacobe Escolavan's 3-pointer for the Rams cut the Bucs led to 37-31 with 6:20 to play in the game. The Bucs were able hold the Rams scoreless the final 2:55 of the game to seal the victory.
Barbe was led in scoring by Stewart, who finished with 14 points, followed by Dix with 10 points. Escolavan led Westlake with eight points.
"I'm pleased with our performance as we have a lot of work to do to get where we need to be," said Westlake coach Doug Morris. "Barbe played well tonight and their size gave them a big edge against us."
The Cardinals jumped on the Tors early behind an 11-2 run to open the game behind eight points from Madyson Brasseaux. The Cardinals outscored the Tors 19-5 in the first quarter to take the early lead.
Sulphur fought to get back in the game in the second quarter. A 9-0 run during the quarter cut the Lacassine lead to 24-22 with 3:32 to play before halftime. Consecutive baskets by Lindsey Priola and Abbie Melanson gave Lacassine a 28-22 lead with 2:39 to play in the quarter. Sulphur outscored Lacassine 23-25 in the second quarter but trailed 34-30 at the half.
Brasseaux took control of the game in the third quarter. She scored 10 third-quarter points to help the Cardinals outscore the Tors 17-13 to take a 51-43 lead going into the fourth quarter.
The Cardinals opened the fourth quarter with the first four points to take a 55-43 lead. The Tors answered with baskets from Cierra Wilson and Kourtney Brooks to cut the lead to 55-47, the closest margin they got in the fourth quarter. The Cardinals outscored the Tors 15-9 in the quarter.
"We knew coming in Lacassine had played several more games than us this year and was a little more polished," said Sulphur coach Helen LeFevre. "We didn't have anyone who could stop Mady (Madyson Brasseaux) tonight as she was on. They had too many weapons for us."
Brasseaux led Lacassine in scoring with 26 points. Haley Cooley and Melanson finished with 11 and 10 points, respectively. Sulphur was led in scoring by Wilson and Ally Cupit, who finished with 12 and 10 points, respectively.
"She's a very special player and sets the tone for us really every day in the way she works," Lacassine coach Jeremey Hollier said about Brasseaux. "Her effort carries over to everyone else and it really showed tonight."

New summer timetable — settlement agreements and other reforms - .PDF file.
The new Enterprise and Regulatory Reform Act renames compromise agreements 'settlement agreements' and, once the relevant provisions come into force, if an employer makes an offer of settlement before a formal dispute has arisen and follows the statutory ACAS Code of Practice, an employee will not be able to give evidence of the offer at any subsequent tribunal hearing. However, the confidentiality of negotiations is preserved only in relation to an ordinary unfair dismissal claim (so not including automatically unfair dismissals or discrimination claims).
Having consulted on a first draft in February, ACAS has now published a revised code of practice. The new version deals mainly with the confidentiality provisions and, although it does list the requirements for a settlement agreement to be legally valid, it does not now specify how settlement offers should be made, beyond making it clear that, while an initial offer can be made orally, the final agreement must be in writing. Employees should also be allowed to be accompanied at settlement agreement meetings, even though this is not a statutory requirement. The template offer letters to employees, included in the previous draft, will now be demoted to non-statutory guidance…

A 38-year-old woman from California named Blondie Bennett is on a mission to become a real-life Barbie doll.
She's had five boob jobs and numerous other appearance-altering surgeries, so she's got the look down at this point.
However, that's not enough for Blondie.
She also wants to be stupid and "brainless" like Barbie.
To that end, she's going through hypnotherapy a few times a week to lower her IQ.
