1.1 The British Amateur Rugby League Association
was born out of necessity to avert the demise of amateur Rugby
League, and has been the catalyst for a dramatic increase in amateur
teams from 150 teams in 1973 to over 1,350 today, representing
approximately 35,000 players from the under-8 age group through
to the open age.
1.2 There are mixed teams of boys and girls
up to the under-11 age group and single sex teams at junior, youth
and open age levels thereafter.
1.3 Whilst the development of the women
and girl's game is still at an embryonic stage the progress made
is impressive and an area of huge potential for future development
1.4 Whilst the youth and junior game continues
to go from strength to strength with an increase of over 30 per
cent in the last seven years there has been a marked decline in
open age teams which is to be the subject of a review by the Association.
1.5 The amateur game is the proven nursery
of Rugby League talent and produces the overwhelming majority
of players for the professional game.
1.6 In many cases with a lack of adequate
facilities, the amateur game provides a remarkable service to
the local community and to the game itself, a service even more
crucial in areas of urban stress and deprivation in which many
of our clubs operate.
1.7 Through exemplary voluntary effort the
clubs successfully provide local sporting opportunities in particular
invaluable opportunities for local youngsters to play a sport
that promotes fitness, skill, discipline and a healthy lifestyle.
1.8 The contribution to the game of the
volunteer army cannot be overestimated. Figures taken from a Sport
England report show in excess of 15,000 volunteers in Rugby League
equivalent to an investment of over £21 million per annum
based on voluntary hours worked.
1.9 Relationships with the professional
game underwent a renaissance in October 1997 when BARLA and the
Rugby Football League (RFL) signed a 12-month Partnership Agreement.
The motivation behind the agreement was the commitment to a game-wide
development strategy under the auspices of a joint BARLA/RFL body,
the Rugby League Policy Board.
1.10 The agreement, which has been recently
superseded by a further five year agreement, has brought to an
end years of duplication and wasted resources that the game could
ill afford.
1.11 The Policy Board which includes representatives
from BARLA, RFL, Super League and the Premiership Clubs has made
rapid strides in identifying common services, a fine example being
the establishment of a single Coach Education Programme, where
previously there had been two schemes independently run by BARLA
and RFL respectively.
1.12 The Policy Board Development Strategy
will facilitate an infrastructure based on performance and mass
participation that will give the game the opportunity to realise
its full potential, an opportunity never previously afforded due
to the inconsistent relations between BARLA and the RFL.
1.13 Other areas of common interest include:
the establishment of a single player development model which will
demonstrate to every youngster coming into the game a clear pathway
of progression and the opportunities that are available to him/her;
a match official development programme to address the recruitment,
retention and performance of match officials and the establishment
of a facilities development strategy for the game.
1.14 Another major initiative under the
auspices of the Policy Board has been the formation of a BARLA/RFL
joint international youth team, the Great Britain and Ireland
Young Lions which has recently completed a two Test series against
France. The initiative will also ensure the strongest possible
team will be fielded against the World Youth Champions the Australian
Schoolboys when they visit these shores in December 1999.
1.15 Club-school liaison is at the heart
of amateur club development with school children, boys and girls,
from primary and secondary schools, feeding into the club prompted
by in-school coaching by club coaches.
1.16 The Policy Board Development Strategy
will aid the process of promoting participation in Rugby League
by way of provision of support structures, which will assist amateur
clubs in enhancing and sustaining links with schools.
1.17 The Development Strategy will also
be the catalyst for more Rugby League being played in schools
with the localised strategy also addressing issues of talent identification,
coach education, match official development and facility development.
1.18 From a financial point of view, prior
to the Partnership Agreement and the establishment of the Rugby
League Policy Board, the Rugby Football League had never actually
made any direct payment to BARLA for the specific running costs
of the Association's administration. The Rugby Football League
had previously funded posts applicable to both the Amateur and
Professional game, such as the Director of Coaching and National
Development officer, but had never contributed directly to the
running costs of the Association's work programmes.
1.19 BARLA's income has been derived in
the main from Sport England exchequer funding, affiliation fees
and sponsorship.
1.20 This situation changed with the onset
of the Rugby League Policy Board, and in the first BARLA financial
year of the Partnership Agreement the financial year commencing
1 April 1998 the RFL kindly donated a grant of £30,000 toward
the work programmes of BARLA and it is hoped that this arrangement
will continue into the future.
1.21 In the light of Policy Board work,
in particular the establishment of common services, the Association
had to reappraise its primary functions and has placed a major
emphasis on enhancing the support services to member clubs and
1.22 It is recognised that the RFL are currently
investing heavily in a variety of grass roots projects including
the National Conference League, the BARLA open age flagship league.
It is also recognised that the Rugby Football League is making
a major financial investment in the work of the Policy Board as
a compliment to the Sport England exchequer funding secured by
the Policy Board. Furthermore professional clubs invest in their
own grass roots initiatives.
1.23 Another tangible financial benefit
to the grass roots game promoted by the Policy Board has been
a major increase in the player compensation fee payable by a professional
club to the respective amateur club when a player signs a professional
contract. The fee previously a flat rate of £50 has been
increased to £500 and £250 for Super League and Premiership
Clubs respectively.
1.24 It is intended that the Policy Board
will in future assume funding responsibilities with regard to
grass roots initiatives conducted under the auspices of the Board.
This will include the allocation of grass roots funding currently
conducted by the RFL.
1.25 BARLA feel strongly that any future
deals negotiated by the professional game with regard to broadcasting
and sponsorship agreements should include a percentage, set aside
for grass roots development with the monies to be channelled for
distribution by the Rugby League Policy Board.
1.26 BARLA's international programme has
included 31 Tours to and from the Southern Hemisphere since 1973
including tours to Tonga, Fiji, Western Samoa, Australia, including
a series against all-Aboriginal teams, South Africa, and Russia.
BARLA's pioneering work has recently been recognised by Affiliate
Membership of the newly formed Rugby League International Federation.
1.27 BARLA players and officials on outgoing
tours are required to pay a contribution of up to £1,200,
funds, which in the main are raised by BARLA clubs. Tours have
also been part funded by Sport England, which does not currently
apply due to other areas of the BARLA Development Plan being prioritised.
Furthermore international players are required to purchase their
playing strip and other items of clothing.
1.28 It is the hope of BARLA that this international
pioneering role is recognised by way of appropriate funding from
the levies of the International Federation.
1.29 The one concern for BARLA is the existence
of an independent administration at Super League level, which
appears to be superfluous to requirements. It appears to BARLA
that the administrative services provided by Super League could
be adequately absorbed by the RFL and it seems when monies are
in short supply it is a duplication the game can ill afford, particularly
at a time when BARLA and the RFL have rationalised their resources
in pursuit of a common streamlined strategy.
1.30 In conclusion relationships between
the two codes at grass roots level are cordial evidenced by many
examples of Rugby Union Clubs hosting major BARLA games at local
and national level together with an ever-increasing inter-change
of players.

With a loud GO from race director Will Newcomer, the teams dashed off for the first leg – a river swim!! Brrrrrr!!!! Team Osprey jetted to the front of pack with a few other teams and all three set the pace during the swim. A quick half hour downstream and the teams started hitting the first transition, to a long downriver kayak leg. Teams should begin to warm up as the sun crests the deep canyon walls and they work their way downstream to the next transition, where rumor has it they will head off to a most amazing ropes section. We shall see!!

From CS-Quakers
Our processes depend on individual and corporate reflection and on continuing revelation. Our marriage process is lengthy and takes a lot of care so we alternate responsibility for shepherding the process between our Ministry & Counsel (Spiritual Concerns) and our Oversight (Pastoral Care) committees. For the rest of this section "Shepherd committee" will be used to designate the committee actually assigned responsibility for a particular marriage request.
The Quaker Marriages Process occurs under the Care of a specific Quaker Meeting. Care is offered by way of Queries for reflection individually, as a couple, and with a Clearness committee, selected by the Meeting. Discernment is sought on all aspects of married life. The Clearness Committee remains in touch with the married couple offering encouragement in the early years of their life together. The Clearness process goes most smoothly when the couple is well known to the meeting. When only one is a member, the other needs to take the time to become familiar with Quaker ways and our community because it is both individuals who are taken under the Meeting's Care. The Clearness Process is an integral part of a Quaker Wedding. The marriage service is the last in a series of steps, not the only step.
Recommendations of marriage are brought to Business Worship by the shepherding committee for the consideration and approval of Monthly Meeting.
Our Minute on the Recognition and Celebration of Committed Relationships explains our understanding of Marriage as a Spiritual Union.
Minute on the Recognition and Celebration of Committed Relationships
"Just as there is that of God in every person, there is that of God in every relationship that calls upon God." - New York Yearly Meeting Faith and Practice.
It is our direct experience that the gifts of the Spirit are bestowed without consideration of gender, race, age, disability or sexual orientation - that there is "that of God" in everyone. It is also our direct experience that committed, loving and spiritual relationships that are enduring, unselfish, mutually tender and supportive are greatly beneficial to individuals, to our Meeting community, and to society as a whole.
Quakers have traditionally recognized and celebrated such committed relationships in a religious ceremony under the care of the Meeting, in which the couple solemnly commits to a lifelong relationship based on love and faithfulness and relying on God's assistance. This recognition and celebration is based on Friends' experience that these relationships are the work of the Spirit to which we are simply witnesses, and not of human ordinance.
We therefore affirm that we will hold meetings for worship to recognize and celebrate such commitments under the care of the Meeting, for couples (at least one of whom is a member of the Meeting) irrespective of gender, race, age, disability or sexual orientation. Requests for such celebrations of commitment or marriage will be considered individually in the manner of Friends (including a process for clearness) and according to the principles and procedures as set down from time to time in Faith and Practice, the Book of Discipline of the New York Yearly Meeting of the Religious Society of Friends, as applicable.
The Meeting acknowledges, and will make clear to any couple seeking to be joined under the care of the Meeting, that certain spiritual relationships recognized by Friends may not be recognized by secular authorities.
"For the right joining in marriage is the work of the Lord only, and not the priests' or magistrates'; for it is God's ordinance and not man's; and therefore Friends cannot consent that they should join them together; for we marry none; it is the Lord's work, and we are but witnesses." George Fox,1669
Summit Monthly Meeting 11th day, First Month, 2004
Click here to read the Marriage Steps to follow when being married under the care of Chatham Summit Quaker Meeting.
We offer Clearness Committees to all members of our community seeking discernment on major life decisions.
In Quaker marriages we are witness to a spiritual union that has already occurred. We leave the legal details of marriage and divorce to the civil authorities.
Both members of a dissolved marriage remain welcome in our community.

South East Asia's favorite LLC is coming to the domestic Japan market with full force and is ready to take its competitors by storm by offering Air Asia's Award winning service on domestic flights within Japan. The Joint Venture between Air Asian and ANA was forged in August 2011 and plans to take to the skies with the first flight in August of 2012.
Air Asia Japan will start off with a domestic fleet of 5 airbus airplanes and will surely grow overtime as long as Air Asia continues to be successful. Its headquarters is in Narita alongside of ANA's headquartered and will be the VERY first low cost carrier based out of Tokyo's Narita International Airport. Although Air Asia X already has a small presence in Japan, this will be the first time Air Asia has planes based in Japan or flies domestically.
Per the Air Asia flights, Japan domestic flights will all depart from Narita and continue on to Fukuoka, Okinawa, and Sapporo. To kick off these new flights, Air Asia is having a sale offering flights for as low as $.06 each way plus tax! So for less than $60 after taxes and Surcharges you could be jetting across Japan!!! Domestic flights go on sell at midnight of 5/31 and the sell lasts until June 3. All new flights begin August 28th and the discount tickets are available for flights 8/28-11/28/12.
If you've never flown Air Asia before, be prepared for the Ryan air of Asia! The low cost business model is in full swing here and you'll pay for ever extra under the sun. Want a water, you'll pay for that; want to check in at the airport, you'll pay for that; want to check a bag, you'll pay for that too; want to select a seat before check in, more cash please!! However, don't worry; unlike Ryan air the add-ons at Air Asia are cheap! It will normally only cost $3-$4 to check in at the airport and $10-$15 for a check bag. Air Asia has a number of other unbundled options and can all be found. So if you're looking for a full service airline avoid Air Asia, but if you need to get somewhere cheap Air Asia is the way to go. Remember Air Asia slogan is "Now Everyone Can Fly"…..and they mean EVERYONE!

Tyra Surprises 'Twilight' Fans with Robert Pattinson
Two weeks ago a mob of 3,000 Twilight fans was turned away from San Francisco's Stonestown Galleria when crowd control began to grow out of hand.
But yesterday, Tyra Banks had Robert Pattinson, 22, and Taylor Lautner, 16, of the film in for a taping of her show, and they surprised Tiffany Kuhne, one of the original teens turned away from the San Fran mall, with the Volvo that Pattinson's character Edward Cullen drove in Twilight.
"This is the best thing that has ever happened to me in my entire life," Tiffany exclaimed once the taping wrapped, reports the AP.
The episode is set to air on November 28. Kuhn and another disappointed San Francisco mall-goer were flown in to the Tyra Banks Show set, but had no idea Pattinson and Lautner would be there to greet them.
They were lured out to the L.A.-based daytime series to participate in a pie-eating contest in a bid to win "Twilight memorabilia."
Kuhn, who doesn't own a car, added, "I feel absolutely amazing, ecstatic. I can't believe everything that just happened did."
Be sure to catch the all-inclusive Twilight page hosted by Celebuzz parent company Buzznet before you head out to catch the romantic vampire flick this weekend!

(1/13/2009) NEW HAVEN- When the doors to the brand new Cooperative Arts and Humanities Magnet High School open Downtown on Tuesday morning, 446 students will walk into a 140,000 square foot state-of-the-art laboratory for learning. After more than 5-1/2 years of site selection, design and construction, the newest addition to the City�s Downtown will provide professional-grade space for students to develop their talents in dance, music, video-production, visual arts and much more.
Superintendent of Schools Dr. Reginald Mayo, Principal Dr. Dolores Garcia-Blocker, parents, friends and community partners will join the celebration as students enter their classrooms for the first time on Tuesday, January 20, 2009 at 7:30 a.m. at Co-Op, 177 College Street. This grand opening will take place on a monumental day. As students take their place in their new school, President-Elect Barack Obama will be preparing for his inauguration in Washington, D.C. Students at Co-Op will watch the inauguration in their classrooms on their first day.
�We have waited a long time for this new school, which will enhance the Co-Op students� academic and arts experiences,� Dr. Mayo said. �And all the arts institutions and non-profits are excited about partnering with us and using the top-notch facility. We have great expectations for Co-Op and appreciate the tremendous support we have received from the community.�
Co-Op was one of two New Haven and 16 Connecticut high schools to receive a �silver� designation as one of the nation�s top high schools in last month�s U.S. News & World Report annual analysis. �This is an exciting time in the history of our country and our school,� Dr. Garcia-Blocker, school principal, said. �It is truly a new beginning! Cooperative Arts and Humanities High School is now the flagship school of the district. As such, much is expected of us. We will collectively work toward excellence in every aspect of our program.�
Co-Op is an interdistrict magnet high school with 60.5% of its students from New Haven and 39.5% of its students from 21 area towns. Enrollment will increase from 446 to 650 in the next few years. Co-Op is one of only two full-time creative and performing arts high schools in Connecticut.
The new school contains a 350-seat multi-purpose theater, a black-box theater, a scene shop, an 85-seat lecture/film viewing hall, two dance studios, 2D and 3D arts studios, creative writing labs, a video production studio, choral and instrumental rehearsal spaces, a photography lab, seminar rooms, a cafeteria, a library and a gymnasium, all on the lower level or first and second floors. The top two floors include other academic classrooms.
With the opening of Co-Op this month, following the opening of Troup and Columbus Schools in September, 28 new and renovated schools have been completed since 1998 under the $1.5 billion Citywide School Construction Program. Five more schools are in construction and several more are in planning and design.
The new Co-Op, which moves from Orange and Bradley Streets over the Martin Luther King weekend, is a $70 million, 140,000 square foot school designed by Pelli Clarke Pelli; it is the only high school ever designed by Cesar Pelli. Construction on the 1.5 acre site began in the spring of 2006. The construction manager is Giordano Construction.
Co-Op�s partnerships with local colleges and universities allow students to pursue independent studies in courses ranging from music theory to language classes in Swahili or Japanese. Existing arts program partnerships include: Yale University Urban Education Masters Program; Neighborhood Music School; Yale Art Gallery; Creative Arts Workshop; Yale School of Music; Yale Repertory Theatre/School of Drama; Shubert Theatre; Long Wharf Theatre; Beineke Library; Peabody Museum; New Haven Ballet; Gateway Community College; Yale Center for British Art; and Center for Creative Youth.
The official dedication ceremony for Co-Op will take place on Saturday, March 28th at 11 a.m. and will feature student performances in various art forms, tours and guest speakers.
Throughout the 2007-2008 school year, New Haven broke its record, graduating more than 1,000 students in June, achieving soaring CMT and CAPT scores and increasing the number of students who take Advanced Placement exams for college credit.
The 2007-2008 school year saw upwards of 85 percent of graduates go on to two and four year colleges and more than 532 New Haven Public School students took 829 AP Exams. New Haven�s high schools made big gains on the 2008 CAPT test, with every high school showing growth. Across all high schools, 11 areas saw double-digit gains. In some high schools, the percentage of students proficient or better in writing now matches or exceeds the state average. Students throughout the school system will participate in a new round of testing in March where the results are expected to reflect another year of academic improvement in New Haven Public Schools.

Didn't recognize your NAILS Magazine in the mailbox this month? That's because we decided to mix up and do things a little differently. Twice a year, we sit down as a team to go over how to bring you, our loyal readers, the season's latest polish colors. Sometimes we use the bottles in our photo shoots, sometimes we paint a model's fingernails, but this time we came up with a whole new concept-illustrations. And we liked the idea so much, we decided to put one on the cover too.
So let us break it down for you. First, we took the polishes and applied them on white poster board. We had the boards shot with a high-powered professional digital camera. Next, we turned to Quebec-based freelance illustrator Lucie Crovatto to design a series of illustrations showing two girls traveling the world.
Crovatto's normal technique involves drawing of the illustration, scanning it in to her computer, and filling in the color in Photoshop. This is where the polish comes in. We challenged Crovatto to use nail polish as her color palette. She more than rose to the challenge. The illustrations that you see on the cover and the polish preview (p.109-113) were created almost entirely with nail polish colors from the manufacturers' spring 2002 collections.
Take another look at the cover-the purse is actually Orly Sky Blue-Pink. The skin tone is OPI Vanilla-Zuela, the fingernails are Toma Rebel, and the clouds are Orly Luminous Rose. We've included a color chart in the polish preview so you can match the polish colors to the illustrations. Hope you enjoy it.

Caring's common thread through Legion Auxiliary activities
For a well-established organization, Ellsworth's American Legion Auxiliary keeps evolving.
Although the group's origin dates back over 90 years, its members tried a brand new project just last month, for example. Incoming President Phyllis Beastrom said the garage sale they held during Ellsworth Polka Fest weekend was a first and perhaps an annual event in the future.
Not highly successful financially, the sale had the upstairs of the Legion hall packed with donated items nevertheless, Beastrom said to indicate the large interest.
"We had a fun time getting acquainted with everyone," she said, referring to the participants. And some funds were generated to help veterans, she added.
Beastrom herself is a microcosm of the old-and-new blend characterizing the local auxiliary. In the president's job just around a month, she's belonged for 23 years and was the treasurer for 10, she said. The deal she agreed to when approached about becoming president was someone else would have to take over the auxiliary treasurer's responsibilities (she's also the Pierce County Treasurer).
The new president said she has ideas for energizing the ranks, which presently number 99, and include 18 who've been involved for between 50-and-59 years, plus six above 60 years (Marie Demuth holds top longevity at 67 years). Among the notions is organizing a trip to a new veterans home in Chippewa Falls, perhaps additionally making lap robes, bibs and bags to attach to their walkers for the vets there. Admittedly, these are past endeavors for which supply might have overcome demand, but could now be welcome again.

Kim Kardashian Tours Chateau Louis XIV As Wedding Approaches
They say the third time is a charm, and Kim Kardashian wants everything to be perfect when she says "I Do" with Kanye West.
The "Keeping Up with the Kardashians" cutie toured the Chateau Louis XIV in Louveciennes, France earlier this week, and there's a strong possibility that she's chosen it as her wedding venue.
The Chateau, located near Paris, is a reconstruction of a 17th century palace and bears a striking resemblance to the Palace of Versailles.
At the end of her one-hour visit to the location, Kim "smiled and shook hands for a long time when she was leaving. She seemed very pleased," said an eyewitness.

Examples of widespread traditional shops who also supply online variations of their retailer embody Previous Navy, Banana Republic, Abercrombie and Fitch and Ann Taylor.

Man, what a tough weekend at Lowe's Motor Speedway.
I took two really hard hits in the Busch and Cup races. In that past it's been one of our best tracks, but we had no luck there this weekend. Both cars were really fast, but both got loaded into the hauler early. I would say that was probably my toughest weekend of the season. We had cars capable of top 10 finishes in both races and ended up wrecking them both. It's just a part of racing, but I sure hope we don't have a weekend like that ever again.
As far as the week goes away from the track, I had quite a bit going on. Tuesday was the same as usual, with meetings and whatnot at the shop all day. Wednesday I had an appearance at the Discount Tire store located near the shop in Concord, N.C. I would say about 250 people or so were there. Thursday morning I had another autograph session at the race shop and I'd say at least another 250 people were there. David Stremme and I signed together for about two hours. Afterwards I worked in a quick interview for the NASCAR Busch Series awards banquet before heading over to the NASCAR Nextel Cup garage to begin practicing for the night racing ahead of me.
Busch practice went pretty well Friday, except it got started really late Friday night because of some delays during the Cup qualifying session. Saturday, we had a pretty disappointing qualifying run. I really thought I was going to lose, but I managed to hang on to get a 38th-starting position. After I made those two laps, I stopped by the Discount Tire hauler in the Busch garage to meet some Discount Tire guest.
We really made up some ground from where our qualifying effort landed us and I know we could have come out of there with probably a top five. The car was that good. It just goes to show the kind of luck we've had this year. It's just been that kind of typical deal all season. I hit the wall hard and the car was done after that hit. I know we were close to the mid-point of the race but I guess you could say it was typical Friday the 13th luck for a lot of us that night.
It was cool to see Dave Blaney win though. If you can't win, it is good to see someone as nice as he is grab one.
Things were busy on the Cup side of things on Thursday. The car wasn't all that good when we unloaded, but Jimmy Elledge and the guys did a great job of making adjustments during the practice session leading up to qualifying.
We went out first for our two-lap qualifying run, and I wasn't too excited about being the first guy out. It's hard to know what you're shooting for when you're the first guy out, but I gave it all I had and our lap ended up pretty good. The Target team ended up 10th out of 53 teams that attempted to qualify, which is pretty good.
Needless to say things didn't end up like I had hoped in the Cup race. We had an incident on pit road, got into it with the No. 88 car and then ended up wrecking out completely. I felt bad about wrecking Dale Jarrett. I'm not sure if I moved up into him or if he came down, but either way it was a bad deal. I'm going to call him this week and hopefully everything will be okay. We've raced each other clean all season and I hope he knows I would never take him out intentionally.
This week we're testing at Homestead to get ready for the season finale. I'll tell you all about that next week. Well, it's off to Martinsville this weekend for the last short track race of the season.
Hopefully we'll have a much better weekend than we had in Charlotte.

LAS VEGAS—Bartech partnered with INNCOM to give hotels a rooms-control system that controls in-room minibars, as well as various other technologies, using INNCOM's INNcontrol 3 system.
As an integrated technology partner, Bartech's automatic minibars can be installed on the existing IT infrastructure of hotels already using INNCOM room controls. INNCOM primarily uses ZigBee wireless communication technology to integrate its systems with a hotel's on a common network. Bartech offers a choice of standalone ZigBee wireless network, WiFi, coax cable, twisted pair or Ethernet for server communication with its automated minibars.
"We are honored to partner with a trusted name like INNCOM, whose room controls network over 800,000 hotel rooms around the world," said Bartech CEO Mario Agrario in a statement. "The advantages for hotels using Bartech automatic minibars in conjunction with INNcontrol 3 are vast, whether it is a cost savings from the reduction of staff needed and better inventory control, or a more efficient use of resources due to the system's advanced reporting."

Detailed Description:
Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common sustained heart rhythm disorder and is associated with significant symptoms and health problems including an increased risk of stroke and death. Current drug therapies are often ineffective and associated with significant side effects. Abnormalities of calcium regulation in cells may lead to triggers for AF. Emerging data suggest that abnormal intracellular calcium regulation mediated through the ryanodine receptor in heart cells may contribute to AF. Recently the investigators have shown that the β-blocker carvedilol which is most commonly used to treat patients with heart failure, modifies calcium regulation mediated through the ryanodine receptor. At present this drug is not frequently used to treat AF. Therefore the investigators will conduct a randomized trial comparing carvedilol to metoprolol for prevention of paroxysmal AF. This may result in improved health and quality of life for people who suffer AF.

Further study details as provided by Dr. Anne M. Gillis, University of Calgary:
Primary Outcome Measures:
- Event-free survival to first detected AF after the one month blanking period for dose titration [ Time Frame: 1 year ]Time to first AF detected by event recorder transmission will be determined.
Secondary Outcome Measures:
- number of Emergency room visits/hospitalizations for cardiovascular causes [ Time Frame: 1 year ]Subjects will be questioned via telephone interview or clinic visit every 3 months and appropriate hospital recorders retrieved for confirmation of event.
- Proportion of patients who develop persistent AF [ Time Frame: 1 year ]
- Days in symptomatic AF/Time between successive PAF episodes [ Time Frame: 1 year ]The days in which patients report symptomatic AF confirmed by event recorder transmission will be determined and the time interval between successive events will be determined.
- AF Severity Scale [ Time Frame: 1 year ]Measured via University of Toronto AF Severity Scale at baseline and at end of study or study exit
- Adverse effects of assigned therapy [ Time Frame: 1 year ]Adverse effects thought to be related to drug therapy will be documented as well as number of patients in whom drug is discontined because of adverse events.
- Ventricular rate during AF [ Time Frame: 1 year ]Ventricular rate during AF will be measured from the event recorder tracings - from 10 sec of recording
- CCS AF Symptom Score [ Time Frame: 1 yr ]
This will be determined from interview at baseline and each follow-up visit. The CCS AF symptom score is a 5 point score from 0 to 4.
CCS-SAF Class Definitions
Class 0 Asymptomatic with respect to AF Class 1 Symptoms attributable to AF have minimal effect on patient's general QOL.
Class 2 Symptoms attributable to AF have a minor effect on patient's general QOL.
Class 3 Symptoms attributable to AF have a moderate effect on patient's general QOL.
Class 4 Symptoms attributable to AF have a severe effect on patient's general QOL.

|Assigned Interventions
Active Comparator: Metoprolol
The metoprolol arm patients are stratified by the arrhythmia management strategy Rate or Rhythm control and metoprolol is dose titrated from 25 mg bid to a maximum of 50 mg bid over one month then patients are followed for 6 months.
Drug: Metoprolol
titrated to 50 mg po bid as tolerated over a 1 month period
Other Name: Lopressor
Active Comparator: Carvedilol
The carvedilol arm patients are stratified by the arrhythmia management strategy Rate or Rhythm control and carvedilol is dose titrated from 3.25 mg bid to maximum dose of 25 mg bid over one month then patients are followed for 6 months.
Drug: Carvedilol
6.25 po bid titrated to 25 mg bid as tolerated over a 1 month period
Other Name: Coreg
Detailed Description:
The study population will consist of patients with electrocardiographically documented symptomatic paroxysmal AF (≥ 2 episodes of ≥ 15 min duration within a six month period) while on stable antiarrhythmic drug therapy. Patients will be excluded if they have AF due to a reversible cause, persistent AF, significant heart failure or a life expectancy of less than one year. Eligible patients will be randomized to carvedilol or metoprolol and followed for 13 months. Randomization will be stratified based on the AF management strategy (rate or rhythm control). Carvedilol and metoprolol will be initiated over a one month drug titration period to achieve doses of 25mg bid and 50 mg bid respectively. AF occurrence will be documented using event recorders. The co-primary outcome measures are survival free from AF after one month blanking period for drug titration and the number of days in AF detected during follow-up. Secondary outcomes include event free survival to first symptomatic episode of AF, days in symptomatic AF, time between first and second episodes of AF, proportion of patients who develop persistent AF, AF Severity Scale, CCS-AF symptom score, ventricular rate during AF, proportion of patients with discontinuation of the assigned therapy and number of emergency department visits or hospitalizations for cardiovascular causes. Adverse effects and need to discontinue carvedilol or metoprolol will be documented. This study will determine whether carvedilol is safe and effective for prevention of recurrent paroxysmal AF in a general population with AF. Data will be analyzed on an intention to treat basis. Three hundred patients will be recruited over 4 years. The sample size is based on an estimated 20% reduction in event free survival from AF (power 0.90, α = 0.05). Patients will be recruited from our AF clinic population which averages 50 new referrals per month and over 2500 referrals since it's' inception in 2005.

By incorporating SMR into a routine an individual can improve flexibility, function, reduce potential injuries, and improve performance. SMR is simply a person using their body weight to roll around on a foam roller and this action will massage the soft tissue. SMR will help reduce adhesions and scar tissue that is already present and help prevent them if done daily. Since everyone cannot afford Active Release Therapy (ART), SMR can provide some of the benefits at a cheaper cost from home. All you have to do is purchase a foam roller! To reiterate the benefits of incorporating SMRBenefits
To see these benefits you must incorporate SMR daily and stick with it.Self Myofascial Release relies on a principle called autogenic inhibition. The Golgi Tendon Organ (GTO) is located at the muscle tendon junction. The GTO is sensitive to changes in muscle tension. When there is enough tension to cause injury the GTO will signal the muscle spindles to relax. This process is called autogenic inhibition. With foam rolling you allow the muscle to passively stretch and it also causes the GTO to relax.
General Techniques
1. Hold the position for 1-2 minutes on each side
2. If you experience pain in one spot, stop rolling and rest on the area for about 30-45 seconds. Do not continue to roll if you feel pain/tenderness on an area! Hold it for 30-45 seconds! Again this is important.
3. If you need more weight on a limb you can stack limbs on top of each other.
4. You can perform SMR everyday either once or twice a day.
It's well worth the 10-25 bucks you will spend on a foam roller! There are various kinds of foam rollers too. Usually the higher the price the roller the longer it will last. For example, a 32 dollar roller will last roughly 5 times as long as a standard white roller because the 32 dollar roller has a pvc pipe in the middle and the foam is denser material. You should notice improvements in muscle tension and flexibility in as little as 1-2 weeks if SMR is incorporated daily or at least after workouts.

Asal L. lost 50.0 lbs.*
"After trying just about every diet known to man, I finally called Nutrisystem–and it was the best thing I've ever done."
Overweight and stressed
I've been a bit overweight most of my life, but I remember the turning point. I was trying to put on my favorite pair of jeans and quickly realized they were no longer my favorite–because they no longer fit! Having that extra weight on made life more difficult; it just gave me one more thing to stress about. So instead of always being unhappy about it, I finally decided to do something about it–and I'm really glad I did.
So much to choose from
On Nutrisystem, I was never hungry–in fact, my family and friends would ask how the heck I was losing so much weight when I was always eating! Nutrisystem was also incredibly convenient. I was a graduate student at the time and I knew I needed to choose a program that I wouldn't have to think too much about; Nutrisystem made that easy. I loved the variety, too. I love having choices–and that's exactly what I had with Nutrisystem.
Feeling better than ever
With all the diets I have tried, I have never kept the weight off as I have these past few years by eating the right foods in the right portions. It's a great feeling. I love getting compliments from people, especially those who need to lose weight, too; I love to share my secret with them. I'm grateful for Nutrisystem. This is the thinnest I've been since I was in junior high. I feel like I'm at my very best. I always liked myself, but now I love myself!

File Services are perhaps the most important aspect of any server because file servers are often the first server an organization purchases. There are a number of protocols built into OS X Mavericks Server dedicated to serving files, including AFP, SMB and WebDAV. These services, combined comprise the File Sharing service in OS X Mavericks Server (Server 3).
File servers have shares. In OS X Mavericks Server we refer to these as Share Points. By default:
In short, the default configuration probably isn't going to work for everyone. Therefore, before we do anything else, let's edit the shares to make them secure. The first step is to create all of your users and groups (or at least the ones that will get permissions to the shares). This is done in Server app using the Users and Groups entries in the List Pane. Once users and groups are created, open the Server app and then click on the File Sharing service in the SERVICES list in the List Pane. Here, you will see a list of the shares on the server.
In our example configuration we're going to disable the built-in share. To do so, click on Groups one time and then click on the minus button on the screen.
As mentioned, shares can be shared out using different protocols. Next, we're going to disable SMB for Public. To do so, double-click on Public and then uncheck the SMB protocol checkbox for the share.
When you've disabled SMB, click on the Done button to save the changes to the server. Next, we're going to create a new share for iPads to be able to put their work, above and beyond the WebDAV instance automatically used by the Wiki service. To create the share, first we're going to create a directory for the share to live in on the computer, in this case in the /Shared Items/iPads directory. Then from the File Sharing pane in Server app, click on the plus sign ("+").
At the browse dialog, browse to the location of your iPad directory and then click on the Choose button.
At the File Sharing pane, double-click on the new iPads share.
At the screen for the iPads share, feel free to edit the name of the share (how it appears to users) as it by default uses the name of the directory for the name of the share. Then, it's time to configure who has access to what on the share. Here, use the plus sign ("+") in the Access section of the pane to add groups that should be able to have permission to access the share. Also, change the groups in the list that should have access by double-clicking on the name of the group and providing a new group name or clicking on the plus sign to add a user or group.
The permissions available in this screen for users that are added are Read & Write, Read Only/Read and Write. POSIX permissions (the bottom three entries) also have the option for No Access, but ACLs (the top entries comprise an Access Control List) don't need such an option as if there is no ACE (Access Control Entry) for the object then No Access is assumed.
If more granular permissions are required then click on the name of the server in the Server app (the top item in the List Pane) and click on the Storage tab. Here, browse to the directory and click on Edit Permissions.
As can be seen, there are a number of other options that more granularly allow you to control permissions to files and directories in this view. If you make a share a home folder, you can use that share to store a home folder for a user account provided the server uses Open Directory. Once a share has been made an option for home folders it appears in both Workgroup Manager and the Server app as an available Home Folder location for users in that directory service.
Once you have created all the appropriate shares, deleted all the shares you no longer need and configured the appropriate permissions for the share, click on the ON button to start the File Sharing service.
To connect to a share, use the Connect to Server dialog, available by clicking Connect to Server in the Go menu. A change in Mavericks is that when you enter an address, the client connects over SMB. If you'd like to connect over AFP, enter afp:// in front of the address and then click Connect.
The File Sharing service can also be controlled from the command line. Mac OS X Server provides the sharing command. You can create, delete and augment information for share points using sharing. To create a share point for AFP you can use the following command:
sharing -a <path> -A <share name>
So let's say you have a directory at /Shares/Public and you want to create a share point called PUBLIC. You can use the following command:
sharing -a /Shares/Public -A PUBLIC
Now, the -a here will create the share for AFP but what if you want to create a share for other protocols? Well, -F does FTP and -S does SMB. Once created you can disable the share using the following command:
sharing -r PUBLIC
To then get a listing of shares you can use the following command:
sharing -l
You can also use the serveradmin command to manage file shares as well as the sharing service. To see settings for file shares, use the serveradmin command along with the settings option and then define the sharing service:
sudo serveradmin settings sharing
Sharing settings include the following:
sharing:sharePointList:_array_id:/Users/admin/Public:smbName = "administrator's Public Folder"
sharing:sharePointList:_array_id:/Users/admin/Public:nfsExportRecord = _empty_array
sharing:sharePointList:_array_id:/Users/admin/Public:afpIsGuestAccessEnabled = yes

sharing:sharePointList:_array_id:/Users/admin/Public:dsAttrTypeNative\:sharepoint_account_uuid = "51BC33DC-1362-489E-8989-93286B77BD4C"
sharing:sharePointList:_array_id:/Users/admin/Public:path = "/Users/admin/Public"
sharing:sharePointList:_array_id:/Users/admin/Public:smbIsShared = yes
sharing:sharePointList:_array_id:/Users/admin/Public:smbIsGuestAccessEnabled = yes
sharing:sharePointList:_array_id:/Users/admin/Public:afpName = "administrator's Public Folder"
sharing:sharePointList:_array_id:/Users/admin/Public:dsAttrTypeStandard\:GeneratedUID = "4646E019-352D-40D5-B62C-8A82AAE39762"
sharing:sharePointList:_array_id:/Users/admin/Public:smbDirectoryMask = "755"
sharing:sharePointList:_array_id:/Users/admin/Public:afpIsShared = yes
sharing:sharePointList:_array_id:/Users/admin/Public:smbCreateMask = "644"
sharing:sharePointList:_array_id:/Users/admin/Public:ftpName = "administrator's Public Folder"
sharing:sharePointList:_array_id:/Users/admin/Public:name = "administrator's Public Folder"
To see settings for the services use the serveradmin command with the settings option followed by the services: afp and smb:
sudo serveradmin settings afp
AFP settings include:
afp:maxConnections = -1
afp:kerberosPrincipal = "afpserver/LKDC:SHA1.978EED40F79A72F4309A272E6586CF0A3B8C062E@LKDC:SHA1.978EED40F79A72F4309A272E6586CF0A3B8C062E"
afp:fullServerMode = yes
afp:allowSendMessage = yes
afp:maxGuests = -1
afp:activityLog = yes

Great safety information especially if you have children. This gal is very sweet, smart and conscious. I highly recommend her Fusing videos. Thank you so much for sharing. Love and Aloha from Maui. :)
Bobbie aka: Rogue Perfumer
I decided I wanted to take my jewelry making skills to another level. I found Beaducation on someone's Pintrest. After viewing Kriss Silva's ball head pins tutorial I was hooked and knew I had to try working with a torch. I'm so glad I did!!! She's a great teacher, and I've learned so much from watching her and others on Beaducation. Beaducation has opened up a whole new world of possibilities! I feel alive once again and so excited to explore new ideas and techniques. I thank God for Beaducation and the inspiration and empowerment I now have to try something new.
I just can't seem to get enough! I am very new to jewelry making and Beaducation always seems to have the instruction I need to feel confident to start the next new piece. Fusion is something I definitely want to learn but it was so scary to me with the torch and the heated metals. Kriss you make it look easy by taking the mystery out of my fear of the torch! The balled head pin is within my grasp now. I feel ready to play with my husband's torches and see what I can do. Thank you so much!
I love Kriss Silva's teaching style. She's so easy to follow and is very knowledgeable. I want more classes from her!!! Thank you Kriss!

Case for invasion not beyond some doubt: Howard
Foreign Affairs Correspondent
Page Tools
The case to invade Iraq was circumstantial and not beyond reasonable doubt at the time, Prime Minister John Howard has conceded amid the fallout from criticism of intelligence in the Flood report.
Mr Howard said he would not act against intelligence personnel for failing to identify the Jemaah Islamiah terrorist threat and providing inaccurate advice on Iraq, and has rejected calls for a royal commission. Final responsibility for the decision to take Australia to war against Iraq rested with him, Mr Howard said.
No one should be treated as a scapegoat for the findings of the inquiry by former intelligence chief Philip Flood, Mr Howard said.
The Flood report said that Australian intelligence material used by the Government to justify war on Iraq was "thin, ambiguous and incomplete". The emergence of the regional terrorist threat to Australians was missed, it said.
Opposition foreign affairs spokesman Kevin Rudd said Mr Howard had sent a message to intelligence agencies that he wanted to join a US-led war on Iraq, which had affected their independence. He called for the full, classified version of the report to be given to Labor.
Mr Howard said intelligence had never delivered a clear, perfect case and, with Iraq, "I knew that we weren't being presented with a beyond reasonable doubt case, we were presented with a strong circumstantial case".
"It is true that (Mr Flood) used the words that we have both acknowledged about thinness and incompleteness and ambiguity.
"It is true he used those. It is also true that he said that our agencies had done a very good job, that their conclusions on the material in front of them were reasonable."
The report said Australian intelligence agencies failed to adequately question assumptions or sources in assessments from US and British agencies about Iraq's weapons of mass destruction.
Mr Howard said a basic finding of the Flood report was that intelligence agencies served the country well.
The Government never pressured the intelligence agencies.
"At no stage did we mislead the Australian public, at no stage did we manufacture intelligence, at no stage did we heavy intelligence agencies," he said.
"I think a royal commission is unnecessary, a complete waste of time . . . I accept responsibility for that, total responsibility, and if the Australian people in the fullness of time form an adverse judgement about the decision, well, I will pay the political consequences of it."
Mr Rudd said that although the report cleared the Government of pressuring intelligence agencies, it was only because no evidence was found to support that position.

Washington (AFP) Nov 30, 2012
The US Senate unanimously approved new economic sanctions Friday aimed at further crippling Iran's energy, shipping and port sectors, a year after Congress passed tough restrictions against Tehran.
The amendment, tacked onto a sweeping defense spending bill being debated by the chamber, passed 94-0 and should sail through the House of Representatives.
Senator Robert Menendez introduced the measure out of concern that Iran was pressing ahead with its nuclear weapons drive despite earlier sanctions that had been hailed as the toughest-ever against the Islamic republic.
"Yes, our sanctions are having a significant impact, but Iran continues their work to develop nuclear weapons," said Menendez, a Democrat.
He cited last week's report by the International Atomic Energy Agency that Iran continues to defy the United Nations and world community by refusing to slow uranium enrichment, denying access to inspectors and conducting live tests of conventional explosives that could be used to detonate a nuclear weapon.
"By passing these additional measures ending sales to and transactions with Iranian sectors that support proliferation -- energy, shipping, ship-building and port sectors as well as with anyone on our specially designed national list -- we will send a message to Iran that they can't just try to wait us out."
The vote came on the same day a defiant Iran denied it was pursuing nuclear weapons and threatened to withdraw from the nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty, which aims to stop the spread of atomic weapons.
Meanwhile, the P5+1 powers -- the United States, China, Russia, Britain, France and Germany -- said after a meeting in Brussels last week that they want talks with Iran "as soon as possible." This may happen as early as December.
Building on the US sanctions passed last year, the new amendment would designate Iran's energy, port, shipping and ship-building sectors as "entities of proliferation" because they "support and fund Iran's proliferation activities."
Under the new rules, the United States would sanction anyone selling or supplying certain commodities to Iran -- including graphite, aluminum, steel, and some industrial software -- that are relevant to the country's ship-building and nuclear sectors.
Despite tough US and European sanctions, Tehran has been able to bypass certain restrictions by accepting payment in forms like gold for certain exports.
The Menendez amendment targets such circumventions by seeking to prevent Iran's central bank from receiving payment in precious metals.
The sanctions would also designate the Islamic Republic of Iran Broadcasting and its president as "human rights abusers" for airing forced televised confessions and show trials.
Senator John McCain offered his blunt assessment of the need for expanded sanctions to counter Iran's intentions.
"The screws need to be tightened," the Republican told the Senate before the vote. "The centrifuges are still spinning in Tehran."
McCain said the new sanctions "can -- I emphasize can -- lead to a way to prevent a conflagration in the Middle East."
AIPAC, the pro-Israel lobby in Washington, praised the amendment as a way to "significantly ratchet up pressure on Iran," and pointed to earlier sanctions which have led to an 80-percent loss in the value of Iran's currency and a 50-percent slash in the country's oil exports.
But the National Iranian American Council saw the new sanctions as a dangerous step toward "a military endgame" and one that would "undercut their aspirations for democracy and human rights."
"Unbending sanctions do not buttress negotiations, they make diplomacy impossible and war inevitable," said NIAC Policy Director Jamal Abdi.
The defense spending bill would have to be reconciled with the House version passed in July, and the Republican-led House has been highly supportive of previous Menendez sanctions legislation against Iran.

"Structural and Dynamic NMR Studies of Integrin-Collagen Interactions"
The binding of integrin receptors to collagen mediates cell-extracellular matrix adhesion processes and its dysregulation plays critical roles in arthritis, cancer and heart disease. Collagen is a long rod-like shaped ligand, and its mechanism of recognition and role in selectivity and affinity are unique, and at this stage not well understood. Using NMR together with other biophysical techniques, we have developed a novel picture of the integrin αI binding to collagen and have shown that dynamics plays a central role in the binding. NMR is a particularly powerful tool for studying dynamics over a wide range of timescales and 15N relaxation dispersion experiments, along with hydrogen-deuterium exchange (HDX) experiments, have highlighted that αI affinity and selectivity to different collagen motifs may arise from complex dynamics on the μs-ms timescale and the slower HDX timescales.

We need your help! As you know, each year we select a book for the entire Watertown community to read together. We encourage everyone from high school students (and sometimes even younger!) through senior citizens to take time over the summer to read the book, and we schedule a couple of months in the fall to be chock full of fabulous programs related to the book. It's an opportunity for people of many backgrounds and occupations to come together as a community to share ideas and build connections. Did I mention that we adore this program?
This year, we want your help in selecting the book! Staff members of the WFPL and members of the adult book group have submitted many nominations, and we've been reviewing the submissions and voting on them to winnow the list down to a manageable short list.
In a few short days, we'll post a poll to the website asking for your vote! We will share a synopsis of each selection, and let you, the citizens of Watertown, select the book we should all share this year. We're so excited about this prospect, and hope that you will be, too!
Please watch this space for details on the books, and a link to the forthcoming poll.
