Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 22/2/2013 (1642 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
You've heard it already: Obesity is epidemic in Canada and is contributing to an increased prevalence of hypertension, diabetes, heart disease, stroke, cancer and other chronic conditions. What you don't often hear is that as a result, health-care costs keep rising, posing a threat to the sustainability of our publicly funded health-care system. The obesity epidemic also compromises our workforce productivity and reduces economic competitiveness.
In the face of this burning issue, there has been little government response.
Although at the most basic level obesity is the result of an excess of calories consumed over calories expended, the causes and solutions are highly complex, involving everything from stress levels to social equality to food production and urban design and a cluster of other complex issues. But this complexity must not continue to be a reason to do nothing.
There is sufficient evidence to guide governmental action -- now.
So where to start? Reducing calorie consumption is the highest priority. While physical activity is important for health, research suggests that by itself it is not effective for weight control and so is not the place for governments to begin.
Unfortunately, health-promotion programs aimed at personal dietary choice and responsibility have limited impact in the face of massive advertising and marketing by the food and beverage industries. So far, despite health promotion in schools (reducing junk food and increasing physical activity) and other settings, the prevalence of obesity has remained stubbornly high.
Industry self-regulation also sounds good, but the truth is, it doesn't work.
There clearly needs to be more effective action. But what actions will work?
The best available evidence and experience from other health-risk behaviours (alcohol abuse, drunk driving, seatbelt and helmet use and smoking) shows government action to "nudge" personal reduction in calorie consumption through regulation will most cost-effectively control the obesity epidemic. Here's how.
First, governments (federal, provincial) should introduce a substantial tax on sugar-sweetened beverages (SSBs). These beverages have little or no nutrient value and contribute significantly to excess calorie consumption. Although a few jurisdictions have applied small taxes to SSBs, there has not been an attempt to apply a substantial tax over a sufficient length of time to determine if this will reduce consumption. But economic theory, clinical evidence and experience from tobacco and alcohol suggest this will not only reduce calorie consumption and obesity but also be a revenue source for government.
Second, governments (provincial, federal) should, by regulation, limit the marketing and sales of junk food and beverages, particularly to children. This should include controls on advertising through electronic and print media, sponsorship of sport, cultural, school-based and health-care events and facilities as well as controls on the placement of junk food and beverages at checkouts and similar child-targeted sites. At the municipal level, this should be extended to control the availability of junk foods and beverages near schools.
Third, the federal government should implement a salt-reduction strategy (including warning labels, advertising restrictions and procurement policies, as in Bill C-460). Although salt in itself is not calorific, it is a key ingredient in the production of many junk foods -- and often what keeps us coming back for more.
Fourth, governments needs to introduce a regulatory requirement for better calorie and nutrient information at the point of consumption in restaurants and other food outlets.
But wait: Is this the dreaded nanny statism we've all been warned about? In New York, when Mayor Michael Bloomberg controlled the size of SSBs, he was accused of creating a "nanny state." But when the food and beverage industry makes large profits, leaving taxpayers to pick up the costs of providing health care for the victims of obesity-related disease, this is a failure of the market mechanism. It is governments' role to take corrective measures.
Yes, there may be some unintended consequences from such regulation -- time will tell. But doing nothing is not an option.
Instead, we should move forward now, but closely monitor and assess the results, learning from any mistakes and spreading success to other regions. To wait would be to lose the opportunity to make a real difference now -- for us and for future generations.

| Divorce & Custody Rights
Here's help in handling the trickiest birthday party conundrums, including divorced parents; birthdays for twins and multiples, adopted children, and those that fall on holidays; and summer birthdays.
When I was about 4-and-a-half years old, my sister was born. At the time I was old enough to feel appreciative of my only-child status, which meant I was also old enough to feel the burn of my parents' newly placed focus when my sister arrived on the scene. As I watched our entire network of friends and family shower the new baby with gifts, my dad remembered that older sisters deserve a little placating for putting up with their competition, and handed me my own gift - my very first Ken doll.
My sibling's subsequent birthdays, however, presented opportunities for me to be not-quite-so-gracious - sisterly moments I am less proud of. For her second birthday my parents threw a simple party. But what I remember most from that day was the distinct impression that all wasn't right in the world (my world) - so instead of acting happy for my sister on her big day, I cried my eyes out beside her.
Although my parents must have felt monumentally awkward and unsure of what to do, there was simply no reasoning with me. (Did I mention I was not quite 5?) It took some work on my end to quit feeling like yesterday's cake (pun intended) whenever my sister's birthdays rolled around; but I finally realized it would be rude to spoil things with tears.
It's easy to get caught up in planning the details of your child's birthday party (cake, theme, activities, the whole shebang), so sometimes the finer points of diplomacy fall off the radar. And there are certainly instances where diplomacy is the order of the day. Here, we offer help for navigating some of the more awkward encounters.
Minimize the awkwardness of your adopted child's birthday.
Perhaps one of the most delicate birthday scenarios is how to celebrate an adopted child's birthday. During this time, adopted children may feel a surge of conflicted emotions regarding where they come from and how they feel about their birth parents. In the case of open adoptions, these mixed-up feelings can be particularly difficult for children to deal with.
"The most important thing is to let the child lead, because every child experiences adoption differently," says Sally Bacchetta, adoptive parent and author of What I Want My Adopted Child to Know: An Adopted Parent's Perspective. "Some children will want to include their birth parents in the celebration, or sometimes they won't want to involve their birth parents at all. It depends on the openness of the relationship. You could have your child write a letter or draw a picture and send it to their birth parents, or call them on their birthday."
Bacchetta says that most of the time, adopted children won't come to their adoptive parents with their emotions because they don't want to hurt their feelings. "Talk to your child a few days before their birthday and let them know that it's okay for them to incorporate their biological parents into the celebration however they want. Let the child take ownership of their birthday."
Above all, Bacchetta asks that parents "suspend their expectations for the day. A lot of the time I'll see adoptive parents plan huge celebrations for their child's birthday, only to be disappointed when their child acts moody and upset. Often the children don't understand their own emotions. It's important for parents not to take their children's emotions personally. Keep that in mind and understand that it's part of the child's journey."
Plan ahead for smooth summer birthdays.
Sure, July and August birthdays are fabulous for pool parties and running around outdoors, but there can be a nagging feeling of missing out on something during the school year. Krista Njapa, a New York City mom and founder of the website Momtographers.com, thinks they are a great chance to get creative. "Remember: A lot of parents are in the same boat as you are in the summer - trying to figure out how to socialize their kids while school is out," she says. "I recommend handing out a 'Save the Date' to your child's school friends the last week of school. Ask the parents to email you, so that you can send further details. Now they have something to look forward to over the summer!" And if your child complains of missing the bring-cupcakes-to-class tradition, talk to his teacher about having a pre-birthday celebration and bring in cupcakes then, Njapa suggests.
Avoid conflict when parents are divorced.
Let's face it: It's rare that divorced parents will act as amicable as say, Bruce Willis and Demi Moore. But it's important to put your children first, especially when they're the star attraction (like at their birthday party).
One of the key decisions is who to include on the invite list - notably, should both parents be present? Nyack-based psychologist Dr. Steven Lee says it depends on a couple of factors.
First, how do you think your child would feel seeing the two of you together? "Depending on how recent the divorce was, there may be potential fallout from having both parents present. It may rekindle hopes for reconciliation," Dr. Lee says. It's generally helpful to have regular talks, he suggests, so you can be attuned to your child's emotional state. "If they have questions, try to answer them. Talking won't create a problem. It will likely uncover one."
Second, do you think it's possible for the two of you to keep the peace? If arguments are sure to flair up, don't even go there. Instead, "do your best to help your child feel a sense of unified support for the celebration," offers Dr. Lee. "This could mean the child doing something special with the non-attending parent - probably a smaller event, so as not to compete with the main event."
In either case, Dr. Lee recommends not having your new date or recent main squeeze attend the party; it's all about the birthday boy or girl!
Double the fun on twins' big day.
How "twin-identified" is your twosome? Some may cherish having their birthday parties together, and some might want very distinct celebrations. "Go to the source," advises Dr. Lee. "If they are younger or have difficulty generating ideas or deciding, give them some options to weigh in on."
If it's a dual bash, Dr. Lee points to Wisegeek.com as a source for some inspired ideas, including choosing themes that have plenty to draw from and can provide your kids with characters for each to identify with, such as Star Wars or Sesame Street. Opposites are also a good idea, he says. "Two cakes might have opposing color schemes, for instance - chocolate-and-vanilla, vanilla-and-chocolate. Having each twin sit at the head of separate tables or at opposite ends of one large table will give both children equal importance."
Brooklyn resident Pam Lehrman, 23, has always shared a birthday with her twin brother Paul. "We'd each get a different party," she says. "If we wanted to have our friends over for our birthdays, we'd do it on different nights. But we were also always together. There wasn't any favoritism. The only time I ever really felt upset was when I didn't get a 'Sweet Sixteen' because of Paul - he didn't want one." Note to parents: In that case, consider throwing one classic milestone party for one sib and an intimate dinner gathering for the other.
Declare a separate-but-equal celebration for holiday birthdays.
It's a given that children with birthdays falling around Christmas or New Year's might feel like their birthdays get overlooked amidst the holiday revelry. Schedule any party far enough in advance that you'll give invitees ample time to plan on making it (December in particular can be a time of party overload!). "Talk to the people you care about to find out what they might already have going on" and schedule around that, suggests Njapa.
Within the family, find other ways to make the special day even more special for the birthday child. "In our house, the birthday girls get woken up to a cupcake, crown, and a wand. We also never combine the birthday party with the holiday celebration - for those couple of hours, it is all about them."

WEBSTER, Texas - Prosecutors are expected to charge two men on Thursday in connection with a burglary, sexual assault and kidnapping.
Authorities said the ordeal started Wednesday in Webster when two men entered a home on Anne Drive through the back door.
Investigators said the two men tied up three residents and then sexually assaulted the mother and her daughter.
Next, the intruders loaded up the three into family's Suburban and drove 11 miles to Alvin, police said. According to investigators, the men were going to kill the victims and leave them in a field near FM 528 and 35.
Police said the intruder with the gun did not want anything to do with the killing. Authorities said all five got back in the Suburban and headed home. Somewhere along the way, police said they stopped for beer twice and one of the intruders fired his gun into the Suburban's windshield.
After they returned to the house, the intruders forced the victims to help gather crime evidence, police said.
"The boy went and got the handgun that they had in the house and confronted the two of them. One guy took off running," said Chief Ray Smiley.
Neighbors helped lead police to one suspect. Police said the other suspect took off in a maroon truck and was later arrested in Dickinson.
The mother and her daughter were taken to the hospital.
Police said they will release the names of the suspects as soon as charges are filed.
Authorities said one suspect claimed he was the victim's ex-boyfriend.
"That's his ex-girlfriend, is what he's telling us now. I hold that with a grain of salt cause I'm not sure that's the truth or not," said Smiley.

Side Event: Remarks by Ambassador Berger on "Linkages between Violence against Women and Health"
(Remarks as delivered by Ambassador Berger at a side-event to the 57th session of the Committee on the Status of Women on "Linkages between Violence against Women and Health")
"Excellencies, ladies and gentlemen, dear guests,
On behalf of the German Mission, I would like to extend a very warm welcome to all of you to today's side event on "Linkages between Violence against Women and Health", which has been jointly organized by the United Kingdom, the World Health Organization and Germany.
I am very glad and honored to welcome today's panelists who will be introduced shortly by the chair and moderator of our panel, Ms. Karin Nordmeyer, President of UN Women's German National Committee.
Distinguished guests,
Violence against women and girls is a serious violation of human rights. The World Development Report 2012 describes violence against women as one of the greatest challenges in a country's development.
Women are more likely to be killed or seriously injured than men, or to become victims of sexual violence. According to UN-Women, country data reveal that as many as 7 in 10 women in the world have experienced physical or sexual violence at some point in their life.
Addressing violence against women is central to the achievement of gender equality and women's empowerment. It is also an important aspect of international peace and security. Almost a year ago the German Mission hosted the launch of a UN Guidance for Mediators on addressing Conflict- Related Sexual Violence in Ceasefire and Peace Agreements. This as one example for the great importance Germany has attached to this issue during our membership in the Security Council and we will continue to do so in the future.
All forms of violence are associated with considerable health, psychological and physical consequences. Besides direct consequences of injuries, there are indirect, long-term health effects for the victims and their children.
The health-related costs of violence against women are very high. The measurable costs include short-term medical and dental treatment for injuries, long-term physical and psychological care, lost time at work, use of transition homes and crisis centers. And to this we have to add the high "dark figure" of unreported or undetected cases.
We already know that dealing with the consequences of violence is for a society much more expensive than preventing violence.
Reducing violence against women requires action in multiple ways. We need to give better services for women who suffer or have suffered violence, we need to invest in prevention mechanisms and improve policies, but we also need to make necessary adjustments to our health care systems.
Health care systems need to contribute to preventing violence against women. And they need to react more appropriately when violence against women occurs. Victims need timely and effective assistance through health and social services. They need service providers who focus on and target the specifically the needs of women affected by violence.
Our speakers today will be sharing their ideas, initiatives and experiences on how the health care sector can respond better to the scourge of violence against women.
And now I would like to give the floor to Ms. Nordmeyer and look forward to an interesting, lively and inspiring discussion.
Thank you."

AN ARSONIST grandmother who struck for the fourth time when she torched her bedroom has been jailed for two-and-a-half years.
Drunken cleaner Bernadette Meadowcroft, 44, lit a piece of paper and dialled 999.
When the fire brigade arrived at her mid-terrace property in Chapel Street, Rishton, six minutes later, officers forced entry and found her asleep in bed next to the flames, Burnley Crown Court heard.
The hearing was told Meadowcroft claimed she had seen a flash from a socket above where the fire had taken place.
When no electrical fault was found, she blamed the blaze on smoking in bed.
An officer then found a piece of paper that appeared to be the cause and the defendant was challenged and confessed: "It was me. I did it. I got the paper and I lit it."
Meadowcroft, who still lives in the property, admitted arson being reckless as to whether life was endangered on May 21 last year.
Emma Kehoe, prosecuting, said the defendant was interviewed by police the next day and said she had had four or five cans of very strong lager. On a scale of one to 10 of drunkenness, she said she was eight.
The hearing was told in 1990, Meadowcoft was convicted of three arson allegations and had been given a suspended sentence. Mark Lamberty, for Meadowcroft, said a psychiatric report stated she was not suffering from any specific illness.
He said: "There are obviously some very concerning features abut this case. There is no question about that.
"She has been drinking to excess in recent times. She, nonetheless, for the last 12 months, has held down a job as a part-time cleaner."
He added that Meadowcroft looked after her two grandchildren at weekends.
Passing sentence, Recorder Anthony Cross, QC, said there was no evidence that the neighbouring houses were occupied, the fire had not taken hold and it was confined to the bedroom.
The judge said 23 years ago, when Meadowcroft was 21, she had committed three offences of arson. They were committed under the instructions of another, it was said, she had been living rough, wanted to move and used fire as a way of forcing that move.
Recorder Cross continued: "It's plain to me that there is a real risk, as demonstrated by the facts of these convictions, committed as long ago now as 23 years and the fact of this conviction, that you will turn to arson as a means of resolving issues."
"I agree your focus is on harming yourself and not harming others.
"I have formed the view that you present a real risk to the general public that can only be cured by a custodial sentence."

Joe Philbin would rather throw long on fourth-and-1 than publicly criticize one of his players.
So when the Miami Dolphins' cautious coach conceded rookie guard Jamil Douglas played better in Week 1 than Week 2, Philbin hastened to add, "But I'm really pleased with the progress he's making."
That kind of progress bodes badly for the Dolphins. And Douglas wasn't the only one to take a step backward in last week's loss to lowly Jacksonville, making Miami eager to rebound Sunday against AFC East rival Buffalo.
Like the Dolphins, the Bills are 1-1 and coming off a demoralizing loss. They gave up a franchise record 466 yards passing against Tom Brady and lost at home to the New England Patriots, 40-32.
Buffalo is eager to avoid an 0-2 start in the division as it hits the road for the first time. The Dolphins want to win their home opener in a stadium undergoing renovations that will cost more than $425 million.

BLACKBURN Rovers fans are hoping to strike it lucky after being offered the chance to win a unique piece of derby day memorabilia being raffled by one of the club's stars.
David Dunn is selling the black boots he wore in last season's home clash with Burnley when his injury-time strike secured a dramatic 1-1 draw.
Trailing a goal down with only seconds remaining on the clock, the star netted the late leveller and preserved Rovers' long unbeaten record against the Clarets.
With this season's return fixture fast approaching, the Rovers ace has now decided to put the prized possession up for grabs.
Raffle tickets cost £10, with all proceeds to be split between Dunny's three chosen charities – HYPE of Blackburn, The John Bury Trust and Prostate Cancer UK.
He said: "With the Burnley game just around the corner, I thought this would be a timely opportunity to give something back to the fans.
"Hopefully we can raise as much money as possible for three worthy causes, two of which are local charities that support local people.
"The idea behind holding a raffle is that it gives all Rovers fans an equal chance of winning and hopefully the boots will go to a home that gets as much pleasure from owning them as I did from scoring that goal."
The draw will be made at the Bournemouth match on March 12.
Raffle tickets are available from the Roverstore at Ewood Park, Oneroverstore in Blackburn town centre, online via www.onerovers.co.uk and from the ticket office on 0871 222 1444 until Tuesday, March 11.

Haha, nice. I'm a sap for kid/dad surf stuff.
Classic man,One stoked little kid.Thats what its all about.
So much fun seeing how stoked they get and how nervous my wife gets when I do the same thing.
Nice catch on the hat!
i want to surf so bad with my kid but he is petrified!
Nice Video! Two Questions:
1. Where was that video shot? The conditions looked perfect for that type of thing and also for some one new to surfing to learn.
2. What SUP board was that? It looked like a C4, yet was not to wide that you could "arm paddle".
Thanks in advance!

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 18/9/2013 (1435 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
It started life with four tables in a windowless cubby hole, tucked in behind a not-much-bigger grocery store on Henderson Highway. Today it's in a more spacious (if still not huge) and airier place with windows overlooking Sargent, and the roles have been reversed. Mercadito Latino plans to open another outlet on St. Mary's Road that will focus on Latino groceries, but, although there are still a few shelves of those groceries tucked into one corner of this venue, it is primarily a restaurant.
The decor doesn't seem to have changed much since this address was home to La Rica Vicky -- the Peruvian posters are gone (and also, alas, the delicious Peruvian specialties) -- or before that Desperado, which left behind its tiki bar (but no beer), and a bullfight poster.
Don't expect forceful spicing -- this is Salvadoran food, not Mexican -- and although it was good in its original location, it's even better in this new one. Everything tastes fresh and delicious and, what's more, there are more choices on the menu, and 80 per cent of them are gluten-free.
Obviously, I dine out very often and often very well, but every now and then I find a dish so vividly good I want to come back for more... immediately. That's how I felt about the fabulous tortilla soup, a glory of textures and flavours, floating strips of moist, tender chicken, globs of melted cheese, chunks of avocado, streaks of sour cream, and a sprinkling of scallions, in a bowl lined with crisp strips of corn tortillas. It goes for $8.50, but it's a meal in itself, and I still regret sharing it with my friends. Next time I won't.
The pupusas are wonderful, too. Neither heavy nor greasy, these soft, thickish corn-masa pancakes are fried on a griddle, stuffed with the usual options of cheese, beans or pork, or all the above, to be topped by a lightly marinated coleslaw and a mildly spicy salsa (three for $9.95, or one for $3.95). There is also the much rarer pupusa de queso con loroco, stuffed with lots of cheese and loroco flowers (three for $10.50). One is a snack, three a rib-sticking meal.
The enchiladas, which resemble Mexican tostadas -- crisp corn-flour tortilla shells heaped with avocado, beans or ground beef, lime-scented cabbage salad, salsa and cheese -- are terrific (three for $9.95, $3.95 for one). So are the quesadillas, 10-inch flour tortillas with either shrimp, beef, chicken with bell peppers and cheese, or loroca flowers with cheese ($11.95 each). There's also a deluxe version with extra cheese and slices of zucchini ($12.95). The tacos are made with soft corn tortillas, and they too are excellent, filled with shredded beef, chicken or shrimp and green peppers, topped by diced tomatoes, onion, cilantro and liberally moistened with lime juice ($10.95 to $11.95).
I'm sometimes wary of corn-dough tamales, which can be bland, and of pre-cooked chicken fillings, which can be dry and flavourless. At Mercadito Latino, the tamale dough was wonderful, and the chicken tasted remarkably fresh, moist and flavourful, as it did in every other dish it was part of. I didn't try the tamale de elote, which is made with fresh corn -- apparently similar to corn bread -- and cooked in a corn husk ($3.25).
There are a few dishes I haven't found on most other local menus -- the rigua, for instance, a flat pancake made of ground corn with a hint of sweetness served with a dip of refried beans and sour cream ($4.95). I've had yuca frita con chicharrones before, but it's rarely been this good -- deep-fried cassava strips, topped by a lime-scented cabbage salad, salsa and a heap of crunchy shredded fried pork. Another version is made with boiled instead of fried cassava ($10.95 each).
There are three kinds of burritos, and they're good, if not as great as some of the above dishes. The 10-inch flour tortillas are filled to bursting with either ground beef, chicken or refried beans, rice and cheese ($9.95 each). I preferred the ground beef with refried beans and cheese to the chicken and rice filling, which was dryer and less flavourful. They come with little containers of salsa and sour cream, and sometimes, with luck, a house-made cream that tastes more like cr®me fraÆche than sour cream.
The Salvadoran ceviche is a little bowlful of pre-cooked shrimp in a sauce that is thicker than most, and sweeter (ketchup possibly?). It's pleasant enough, but less impressive than some of the other dishes or, for that matter, other ceviches ($11.95).
The salsas were tasty, but pretty mild (Salvadoran style), although a green salsa did have a bit of bite. You won't find them listed on the menu, but if you ask you can have small side orders of the top-notch, slightly chunky guacamole, or the freshly refried beans.
Service by the Salvadoran family is friendly, attentive and couldn't be nicer.

Bold For Men Dry Shave Gel Description
Bold For Men Shave Gel is a product that I would like to bring to your attention. This is described by the company as a "luxury shave product" that is designed to deliver a dry shave, as opposed to a "wet" shave. There is no water, no foam. The transparent gel allows you to see where you've already shaved and thus reduces overall shave time. This product can be used on the face, and head.
Bold for Men
Bold for Men is vegan. It does not contain any animal ingredients. Bold For Men also does not test any ingredients/formulas on animals and is part of the PETA cruelty free program. Also! The formula is alcohol free, paraben free and fragrance free
Dry Shave Gel : A Luxurious Waterless Shave
- Step 1 is the Pre-Shave: Apply a thin layer onto shaving area and wait for 30 seconds. This will soften/prep the hair to allow for a smoother shave.
Step 2 is the Shave: Gently shave. Allow the blade to slide without applying any pressure. You can even shave against the direction of hair if you feel it gives you a closer shave. Rinse the razor when needed as you would using any other shaving product.
Step 3 is the After-Shave: Reapply a thin layer on shaved area for a clean finish. A combination of natural essential oils will help fight against razor-burn & irritation.
Bold For Men Dry Shave Gel Ingredients:

A TOURISM expert from Appleby has been chosen to be the chairman of a county organisation which represents the front line of the tourist industry.
Ron Smith replaces Alan Heppenstall as the chairman of the Cumbria Tourist Guides association which has 50 members taking visitors out on professional tours of the county every year.
Mr Smith said: "I am extremely pleased to have been chosen as the Chairman of Cumbria Tourist Guides and I want to place on record our appreciation of my predecessor, Alan Heppenstall's hard work over the past four years. I look forward to working with colleagues and partners throughout the county."
The Cumbria Tourist Guides association recently held its annual meeting at the Jerwood Centre, Dove Cottage.
Special guest was Isabel Moore, President of the Institute of Tourist Guiding, the national standard setting body for the tourist guiding sector and awarding body of the coveted Blue Badge, an internationally recognised hallmark of excellence.
During the tenure of outgoing chair Mr Heppenstall, membership of the Cumbria Tourist Guides has grown to 50.
They are qualified to guide all over Cumbria and the Lake District, from Hadrian's Wall to Sedbergh or the Cartmel Peninsula and the Eden Valley to Barrow or St Bees and everywhere in between.
The guides lead tours by coach or private vehicle and walking tours, and this year several members have branched out into delivering tours around some of Cumbria's lesser known areas by electric bicycle.
Besides leading general tours, members of the group have various specialisms and speak foreign languages including Japanese, German, Italian, French, Spanish and Portuguese.
Mr Smith said added: "Our members possess the highest national qualification; they are predominantly local and are all committed to providing a quality service for both visitors and partners alike. They are an asset to the county and can complement the business interests of our partners."

Sneak Peek: Lindsay Lohan Can't Find Her Phone in a Scene from 'The Canyons'
Have you been hearing a lot of buzz about Lindsay Lohan's next project, indie film 'The Canyons?' Us too. Check out a clip from the movie here!
-Lucia Peters
By now, you've probably heard about The Canyons, right, Bettys? Y'know—that microbudget indie film Lindsay Lohan shot last summer with a script written by Bret Easton Ellis of American Psycho fame and co-starring porn star James Deen (real name Bryan Matthew Sevilla)? We know that as much as you try not to be, you're super curious about the movie—we are, too—so here. Have a sneak peek at a scene from it!
The initial goal of The Canyons was to make a $250,000 film look like a $10 million film. Rated NC-17 and funded through kickstarter, it tells the story of Christian, a classic Ellis sociopath, and his emotionally and economically dependent girlfriend, Tara. It shot for three weeks last summer—and the New York Times Magazine has a fascinating behind-the-scenes look at the making of the film, appropriately titled "Here Is What Happens When You Cast Lindsay Lohan in Your Movie." Included in the online version of the article is a scene from the movie, which ultimately ended up getting rejected from Sundance, but which is being put up for sale by William Morris Endeavor later this month. Check it out here!
Read 25 Things About Jennifer Lawrence
Why cast LiLo? The article brings up an interesting point, which is this: The primary reason Lindsay is having so much trouble getting work these days is because no one will insure her. Your standard Hollywood movie requires insurance, and since Lindsay has such a bad track record, no one will insure her anymore. But with The Canyons, the film is so low-budget that they didn't NEED to get insurance, and voila—say hello to LiLo.
The clip is just under three minutes long. In it, LiLo wakes up next to James Deen (who plays an outright evil person in the film, but who is by all accounts a nice young man and super professional while he's working. Fun fact: Did you know his parents are rocket scientists? Me neither!) determines that the smartphone sitting on her bedside table isn't hers, gets up to look for it, and, well… insanity ensues. Take a look for yourself:
Thoughts, Bettys? I've commented before that I've never quite seen the talent that so many others see lurking beneath the surface of Lindsay's numerous problems, but the New York Times Magazine's article describes a skilled but flighty and unpredictable actress who blew this scene away while shooting. I'm still not totally sure I see it, but that might also be because whenever I look at Lindsay Lohan, I don't see her characters—I see Lindsay Lohan. But maybe that's just me. In any event, we'll have to wait and see whether The Canyons gets a theatrical release—and how it's received when it does.
Want to know more? Head on over to the NY Times' website to check out the article.
Tell us: Do you think Lindsay will finally be able to make her big comeback in The Canyons?
Lucia Peters is BettyConfidential's associate editor.

A SCIENCE student from Andover will present his research to Parliament.
Christopher Asquith, a PhD student at the University College London, will present his science to a range of politicians and a panel of expert judges, as part of SET for Britain on Monday, 17 March.
Christopher's poster on research into using small molecules that target feline immunodeficiency virus (FIV) as a model for HIV will be judged against dozens of other scientists' research in the only national competition of its kind.
The 25-year-old was shortlisted from hundreds of applicants to appear in Parliament.
He said: "It is really an excellent opportunity to showcase my research to an excited and enthusiastic audience and to have exposure of my work at a national level."
MP Andrew Miller, chairman of the Parliamentary and Scientific Committee, said, "This annual competition is an important date in the parliamentary calendar because it gives MPs an opportunity to speak to a wide range of the country's best young researchers.
"These early career engineers, mathematician and scientists are the architects of our future and SET for Britain is politicians' best opportunity to meet them and understand their work."
Christopher's research has been entered into the chemistry session of the competition, which will end in a gold, silver and bronze prize-giving ceremony.
Judged by leading academics, the gold medalist receives £3,000, while silver and bronze receive £2,000 and £1,000 respectively.
Tom Crotty, director of INEOS Group AG, sponsors of the gold medal in the chemistry section, said: "It is crucial that there continues to be investment in skills to provide the next generation of engineers and scientists, particularly as the age profile of highly skilled engineers continues to increase.
"For manufacturing to thrive, the UK needs a large and growing reserve of people with the knowledge and skills to deliver world-class manufacturing and research and development.
"We're delighted to support SET for Britain as an opportunity to celebrate the success of our early career scientists and we hope it will convince politicians to invest even greater effort to ensure the next generation of engineers and scientists come to the fore."
Professor Lesley Yellowlees, president of the Royal Society of Chemistry, added: "Scientific research and innovation are fundamental to the UK's future and communicating the value of what scientists do is also fundamental.
"SET for Britain is a fantastic opportunity for talented young chemists to talk to our politicians and show them how their research has the potential to impact on our future.
"We have 30 chemistry students doing that this year and I'm really looking forward to hearing all about their exciting discoveries."

It's official. My husband and I are running our first HM on April 22! We just signed up with a local running shop for an 18 week training program that starts in Dec and ends with the HM on April 22. We actually will be working with a coach 2x a week for the 18 weeks. This is just what we needed. It will keep us motivated through the winter and since neither of us have ever been runners, it will also give us the coaching we desperatly need. They also will be including a nutrition class and an injury prevention class. Can't wait for it to start.
But this means running outside a lot in the winter in Northern Ohio = cold. What do you wear to run in the winter? It was about 35 when I went out yesterday. Ran in a long sleeve cotten shirt and cotton sweatshirt.= wet and cold! Need to find out what to wear. Help?
Side note, I just ran almost 8 miles yesterday! I have had to cut my miles way back because of a knee injury. It felt great! Today a little sore, but not as bad as I expected.
Training together should help both of you reach your goal, so this sounds like a great idea.
Training through the winter is tough- I am in Canada and we probably have similar weather. A few suggestions:
1) Be flexible- if the weather is ridiculous stay inside that day. If your kids have flu skip your run that day, you are not professional athletes whose living depends on your finishing time.
2) Get balaclavas for cold and windy days, and sunglasses that wrap around to keep blowing snow and ice crystals out of your eyes.
3) Buy Trax or similar grippers or put screws in one pair of shoes so you don't slip on ice. After a deep snow wait till the plows go by before running, anything over an inch or so makes running tough.
4) Wear thin gloves inside mitts or nylon wind mitts over warm gloves.
5) Use vaseline or similar on lips and nose.
Good luck!
PBs since age 60: 5k- 24:36, 10k - 47:17. Half Marathon- 1:42:41.
10 miles (unofficial) 1:16:44.
Hi Kathy!
Simon is much better placed to advise you on running in the cold. Apart from last winter in VA... I have run most of my winters in TX... cold doesn't have the same meaning down here!
I found out I was OK in the cold (down to about 10F) in shorts, long sleeved top, running jacket, gloves, mittens and hat.... but if there was any wind... you would find me on the treadmill!
Good luck with your training... keep telling us all about it as we all love to hear how folks are getting along.
Good luck in the frozen north!
Cheers MattJ

an amazing likeness
You've got a lot of time between now and April -- which is a gift. You've got a coach....another gift. You've got the desire and excitement to tackle this...another, well you get the idea.
Living in Maine with our cold and snow, I still find winter running is easier to deal with than the heat of summer. Winter is all about layers of clothes and I can almost always get comfortable. If you have some budget for winter gear, one company that makes really versatile and well made stuff is Sporthill -- they have outerwear for all temps and activities. I'm a big fan. Anyway, winter is about adjusting layers and adding the final, outer layer for the weather. I don't change footwear, same shoes year round. I do move to warmer, Smartwool socks.
I will head for the treadmill on days with ice or heavy snowfall.
Were I in your shoes, between now and Feb I would focus on running consistently -- getting in volume of steady runs, and when possible a longer run on the weekends -- all aimed at building base. A steady diet of running most days.
Congrats on picking the half marathon target -- it is a great distance. It takes endurance, focus and training but you can out train and out last those who can run faster, and unlike its big brothers, you can try again and again to improve without life altering attention to training plans.
I've done my best to live the right way. I get up every morning and go to work each day. (for now)
THanks for the tips on what to wear. Went out and bought a three long sleeve dry wicking shirts in various thicknesses and two jackets. Ran today in 35 degrees and was fine. Now I need to invest in some running pants.
Now I need to invest in some running pants.
Now I need to invest in some running pants.
I love my Underarmour running pants for the coldest of days. I'll be getting another couple of pairs for this winter. Winter running is fine, and I also prefer it to the wicked heat of summer.
Well, we have officially started the HM training! We started Christmas Eve of all days. They broke us up into groups, I am in the slowest group but that's ok. I just want to finish the HM I don't care about my time. Not yet. When I run this in April, I will have only been running for one year! The thought that I could go from obese and not active at all to running a HM in a year still shocks me! The first long run ( only 3.5 miles - they are starting us slow and building miles) was pretty good. It was at a pace slightly faster than I normally run but I was able to not only keep up but be in the lead pack. That felt pretty good. Tomorrow is our first speed work out with the coaches. I'm a little nervouse about that one. I have never done a speed work out. Looks like it will be tough.
BTW, thanks for the tips on what to wear in these OH winters. I have a collection now of Tech shirts/ jackets and running tights/ pants that keep me warm. So far the coldest I have run in is 16 degrees and I was comfortable. Face was a little cold so I bought one of those "gator" things. Have not tried that out yet.
Wish me luck tomorrow, hope I don't die... lol
Good stuff Kathy - looking at your log you can see the progress. Keep it up.
Stick with the training and you'll certainly be able to get round the course.
Sounds like you are well coached but remember to have fun and take it easy.
Good luck tomorrow - come back (alive) and tell us how it went!
OK - so I survived my first ever speed work out, but just barely. It was just as hard if not harder than I thought it would be. I was able to complete it but felt like death warmed over. I'm sure I will be sore tomorrow so glad it's a rest day! I can tell that the speed workouts are going to be the hardest part of this whole training program.

Kathy -- speed sessions will beat you up, so just expect that. Your body is getting more pounding as you're literally hitting the ground harder and pushing off harder, stressing muscles, ligaments and tendons. This is why lots of folks call 'speed' sessions 'strength' workouts.Don't let the soreness discourage you, it will always be there following a hard workout. Embrace it (soreness) as a badge of your effort rather than letting it introduce caution. Remember that soreness is your body getting stronger. (versus pain, which is a signal which should be heeded)
Consider heading out for walk on you rest day -- the walk will help you recover faster. Seriously.
Great job! I find the speed workouts to be so much tougher mentally. It's great that you are part of a group, that will keep you motivated. Running by myself, sometimes I am a slacker on my speed days
2nd speed workout in and worse than the first one! I'm pretty sure these will be the death of me! Glad I only have to do this once a week. I can run for hours but these speed work outs kill me.
I actually really enjoyed the speed workouts when doing cross country - are you sure you're taking them at a pace that's good for you? It was always surprising to me when I was able to maintain pace over a bunch of repetitions, but also a big confidence booster. They're definitely harder than easy running but you learn to enjoy them for different reasons.
I ran. I ran until my muscles burned and my veins pumped battery acid. Then I ran some more.
Future Goals: 5:30 mile • 19:30 5k • 33:30 8k • 42:00 10k • 1:15:00 10-mile • 1:40:00 half-marathon • 1000 miles
So the training for my first HM is going well. Today was a long slow run. They had us run a 7 mile prediction run. My pace has been a little all over the place lately so I wasn't sure what to use. I decided that since this was suppose to be a long slow "EASY" run I would put down a 12:15 pace, pretty average for my slow long runs. Naturally we were not allowed to wear watches so me and my running partner started out. After what I suspect was about a mile or so, I was breathing pretty hard, so I told her we better slow down a bit, we did and continued on. A couple of times, I felt we were speeding up so I kept reminding her this was suppose to be a slow and easy run, so we would slow down a bit. We decided that at what we thought was the 1.5 miles to go mark we would slowly ramp our speed back up and finish strong. We did this. To our surprise we ran the 7 miles at a 11:08 pace and still have a little in the tank! I was so shocked! It appears the speed workouts that I HATE so much have helped tons. I can't believe I just ran 7 miles at that pace. If you look at my log you will see I have run that for shorter distance but not for 7 miles! Pretty shocked! We still have about 10 weeks until our HM so I am feeling very confident now! I really don't care what my time is for the half, my goal is to just finish and run the whole thing. Starting to look like that won't be a problem.
Sounds great! You're reaping the benefits of your hard work training. That's got to be uplifting, because it should. Hope you had a good moment or two smiling about it.
Your run today was a lesson. A lesson that we all need to learn and re-learn. Effort is not pace. "Easy" is an effort, not a pace. All the workout types (easy, hard, tempo) are the amount of effort and not a pace goal.
Just wait until your training takes you (and it will) to a 10 miler that happens just like today, that's right around the corner.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 25/1/2013 (1668 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
Australian men once routinely referred to their closest friend as "an old bastard" in the confident knowledge his mate would never accuse him of being insensitive, or even inaccurate.
Being born outside wedlock even a mere 40 years ago still carried serious social stigma.
But such a potentially inflammatory insult was received in the affectionate spirit in which it was delivered and there's no record of a recipient seeking compensation, or a court-ordered apology.
Australia's federal Parliament is expected to soon pass legislation many suggest will make it illegal to diminish or demean our fellow human beings.
Not even the most rabid opponents of proposed new anti-discrimination laws (still in draft form) suggest they'll make outlaws of two aging Australians insulting one another in the front bar of their local pub.
But there are credible suggestions Australia, one of the few western democracies without a bill of rights, is moving toward a new cotton-woollen age where the government plays nanny in the national nursery.
Mark Dreyfus, a federal cabinet secretary in the ruling Labour government connected with the framing of the legislation, says there's nothing to be afraid of.
"It's not going to be illegal to insult or offend anyone,'' he told the ABC current affairs show The 7.30 Report.
Dreyfus said the new laws would do little more than consolidate five existing acts to give a more coherent legal framework to Australia's anti-discrimination law.
While Sec. 19 of the proposed act defines discrimination as behaviour that offends, insults or discriminates, the law would do nothing more than defend the most vulnerable against brutal verbal attack, he said.
He offered up the scenario of a woman constantly harassed by a boss who demeans and denigrates her on a daily basis.
"They are designed to give protection against a women who has a superior who says, 'You are useless, you are just a woman, what would you know.' ''
Opposition MP George Brandis, a highly credentialed lawyer, believes something far more sinister than the protection of the vulnerable is underway.
He identifies a new definition of what constitutes discrimination residing in the new laws, which include bans on insulting someone based on political opinion or social origins.
"I think we should have a zero-tolerance approach toward laws, which tell us what we may say or what we may not say in political discussion,' he said.
Sen. Brandis says the Australian Liberal/National Party Opposition is strongly against imposing moral, political or cultural censorship where an expression of an opinion can lead you into a courtroom.
Oddly enough, the new laws may yet hold up the rights of religious organizations to maintain their own brand of discrimination against those who don't match their view of the world.
Prime Minister Julia Gillard, whose de facto relationship with her live-in partner could possibly preclude her from employment at a Christian school, says the nation should remain calm while the framework of the laws is hammered out.
She says the laws are only in a draft form.
"We'll get the feedback and we'll consider it,'' she says.

MAYPORT, Fla. - The commanding officer of Mayport Naval Station says the notices haven't come out yet, but he expects more than 1,000 civilians who work on the base will be cut back one day a week due to federal budget cuts.
Capt. Douglas Cochrane says the notices are in the chain of command and may be released this week, although the 20 percent cutback civilian employees may not begin until mid-April.
These employees do everything from operate tug boats, repair ships to work as flight control operators.
"They are basically sprinkled throughout the base," Cochrane said. "There really is no part of the base that doesn't have civilian employees."
Thousands more civilian employees at NAS Jacksonville -- including nearly 3,000 who work at the Fleet Readiness Center Southeast -- are awaiting the same news.
The U.S. Navy on Saturday issued orders to plan and prepare to cancel and shut down a variety of operations and procurement efforts. That move was in response to a presidential directive signed Friday evening by President Obama to begin the forced federal spending cuts known as sequestration.
The Navy, which has been the most aggressive military service warning of dire consequences both of sequestration and the prospect of a year-long continuing resolution funding scheme, didn't actually set in motion the biggest of the moves — most of which are expected to take place within weeks if Congress doesn't act to reverse the cuts.
"These actions aren't final yet, but we've begun the process for them to take place," a Navy official in Washington said Saturday night. "We're still holding out hope that sequestration will be fixed, or that Congress will pass a defense appropriations bill."
In a fleet-wide message issued Saturday, Navy Secretary Ray Mabus said the Navy Department "intends to commence some reductions immediately."
Key elements are plans to:
- Shut down Carrier Air Wing Two (based at NAS Lemoore in California) in April, with moves to gradually stand down or reduce flying time in five more air wings by the end of the year.
- Defer the humanitarian cruise this year of the hospital ship Comfort to Central and Latin America.
- Cancel or defer deployments of up to six ships in April.
- Lay up four Pacific Command support ships starting in April.
- Return the deployed destroyer Shoup and frigate Thach to their homeports.
Mabus, in the message, also said the service would begin negotiating contract modifications with contractors to "de-obligate" work to buy Virginia-class submarines, reactor power units and one joint high speed vessel.
Actions announced earlier, Mabus added, will continue, including the deferral of the aircraft carrier Abraham Lincoln's refueling overhaul; major repairs to the submarine Miami and destroyer Porter; the deployments of the carrier Harry S. Truman and the Mayport-based cruiser Gettysburg; the civilian hiring freeze; planning for civilian furloughs; and the reduction of most units in the U.S.
Asked about Gov. Rick Scott statement last week that the sequestration would halt three ships from being transferred from Norfolk to Mayport, Capt. Cochrane said, "I have not heard that."

Why did Voldemort want it if he already had the horcurches??
And what would happened if he had had the stone??
Finally why in the 4th book he says that with the stone he would have immortality?
Answer: The stone was need for his own body. I think that he mean by immortality and the death eaters wasn't know his horcruxes. He can't say about them.
SirChrisMorris (talk) 16:10, August 31, 2012 (UTC)
Voldemort wanted the Philosopher's Stone because his body had been destroyed by the rebounding Killing Curse at the Potters' murder. If he had the stone, he would have somehow been granted a body earlier and would have went on killing until Harry stopped him. And in the fourth book he says with the stone he'd be immortal, because he'd have had his body back, his horcruxes to support him, and the Elixir as a backup plan. Also, note that the Death Eaters didn't know about his Horcruxes, so he couldn't reveal that to them - what if one defected, as one of them did? Essentially, the same answer SirChrisMorris gave, except more detailed and with less grammar errors (no offence to SirChrisMorris). james (talk) 16:37, August 31, 2012 (UTC)

There are things ex-FBI agent Brigid Quinn wishes she could un-see. Things that have affected her past relationships , so much so that she has completely hidden her career hunting serial killers from her new husband. She has done well keeping up that mask, until she receives a call informing her that her most frustrating case may now be solved. A suspect has confessed to being the Route 66 Killer, recounting details that were withheld from the public, details that could finally reveal the fate of Brigid's protégée who disappeared while undercover seven years ago. Brigid finds herself back in the game when the current agent on the case tries to convince her that the confession is false and she begins to suspect that someone wants her dead.
Fast-paced and well-plotted, Rage Against the Dying is Masterman's debut. Brigid Quinn is a snarky, tough character who happens to be a middle-aged woman (who can break your collarbone). Fans of Jeffery Deaver and Tess Gerritsen will enjoy this new thriller.

LAKELAND, Fla. – Less than a week after a sweep of conference rival Lynn University, the Saint Leo softball team traveled to Lakeland, Fla. and defeated the Florida Southern Moccasins in an 11-inning battle by a score of 5-1. The win extended their Sunshine State Conference championship and post-season hopes.
Freshman hurler Alana Tabel took the mound for the Lions in the pitchers' duel tossing four solid innings before junior lefty Sarah Steiner came in for relief duties for the next six innings. After the Lions scored four runs in the top of the 11th inning, however, senior Megan Still came in to pitch the bottom of the 11th and close out the game. The pitching trio allowed 10 hits and seven walks on the evening, while striking out six.
Both the Lions and Moccasins were scoreless through three full innings, and it was the Mocs who took control of the board first, scoring an unearned run in the bottom of the fourth to take a 1-0 lead.
The Lions threatened in the top of the sixth inning, when sophomore speedster McKenzie Burns blasted a double to start off the inning and easily took third base. With two outs and Burns on third, Saint Leo's Rachelle Gremo stepped to the plate and sent a sky-high pop fly to the Mocs' third baseman Gianni Artidiello, who committed an error and allowed Burns to score unearned and tie the score at 1-1.
At the end of the regulation seven innings, the Lions and Mocs completed three more innings before either team scored a run. In the top of the 11th, the Lions took advantage of a walk and back-to-back singles from Gremo and Brittany Ewing to push pinch runner Emily Holman across the plate and take a 2-1 lead. The intensity continued for the remainder of the inning, as an infield single from sophomore Kelsey LaNeave sent two more runs home to give the Lions a four run lead.
With the Mocs unable to score in the bottom of the 11th, the Lions took home their 18th Sunshine State Conference win of the season.
In total, the Lions collected nine hits on the evening, in addition to three walks and three stolen bases.
The Lions will return to action on Friday, Apr. 26, when they wrap up the Sunshine State Conference series against the Florida Southern Mocs with an afternoon doubleheader. First pitch is set for 1 p.m.

A campaign to support businesses damaged by 'bullying' banks is being backed by the MPs for Otley and Aireborough.
Pudsey, Horsforth and Aireborough MP Stuart Andrew and Leeds North West MP Greg Mulholland attended the Bully Banks campaign day in Westminster to show their support for small and medium businesses that have suffered because of misconduct by high street banks.
Bully Banks was created at the end of 2011 by a small group of business owners who had all been mis-sold an IRSA by a bank, and now has over two thousand members. The aim of their campaign is to seek justice for all SMEs damaged by their bank's misconduct.
Mr Andrew said: "The purpose of the lobby day was to raise awareness for the ongoing problems with the interest rate swap mis-selling scandal and to look at ways to take action on behalf of businesses in my constituency. I am supporting all small businesses in Pudsey, Horsforth and Aireborough damaged by the misconduct of banks.
Mr Mulholland said: "I was pleased to attend the meeting for the Bully Bank campaign and certainly share their concerns about the way in which banks treat small and medium-sized businesses. "From listening to the concerns of my constituent, and those raised by Bully Banks, I understand that this is common practice and urge the Government to investigate this thoroughly."
Jeremy Roe, chairman of Bully Banks, added: "The parliamentary support for this campaign has been invaluable in securing redress for thousands of businesses across the UK each of which has been the victim of mis-selling at the hands of our high street banks. Much more remains to be achieved but the turn out on Wednesday was extremely encouraging. We look forward to working with our MPs to resolve the ongoing issues."

Create Now!
Adobe has been holding a series of online creativity events over at http://createnow.adobe.com/ and I cannot help but think that these would be great events for students to participate in – and can also serve as a foundation for various assignments and projects after the fact. The previous event was an assignment to remix an Eames chair however you like and post it to Behance. There are also a good number of other resources at the website aside from these activities.
The latest of these events was "Claim your Frame" in which Adobe requests individuals to reserve a frame for which they will use a template to draw out a sort of self-portrait for submission. The idea is that after all of the user-generated frames are submitted, that they are they re-purposed into a full video artifact.
The first step in this case was to go through and register a frame after a specific date and time. You then receive an email which includes a Photoshop document with a specific name (ID) to it along with instructions, an assigned primary color, and a guide layer which indicates where the eyes and mouth should be drawn. The template needed to be downloaded within 3 hours else the frame would go to someone else! I'm including an image of the template I received, below.
After getting the template – the fun part starts. Now you just open it up in Photoshop and draw out your frame. I used a lot of layers, blend modes, and brushes for my submission. One thing that consistently amazes me about Photoshop is how closely it can come to "real" painting when you have the mixer brush and a nice, big Intuos tablet at your side. Such fun.
This project reminds me of a painting class I took for my undergraduate degree. We took a painting, School of Athens, and divided up into a grid. Each student was then given a set of coordinates along the grid with which to create a replica of that portion of the painting. At the end of the class, everyone brought their individual portion back together to form a complete whole. It was very interesting and not unlike this particular exercise.
This particular Create Now event is all over – but there are more coming up, including Kulest City in July. See the final result of this creative experiment playing live in Times Square below!

Whiley set for Wimbledon
9:50am Thursday 19th June 2014
9:50am Thursday 19th June 2014
HALESOWEN tennis star Jordanne Whiley is dreaming of victory at the Wimbledon Championships.
Whiley could prove the key to a home victory in the tournament when she competes in the women's wheelchair doubles.
The Australian Open and Roland Garros champion is among three Brits set to contest the wheelchair doubles at the event which runs fromJune 23 to July 6.
British number one Whiley, who also sits in the world number two doubles spot, will look to go one better this year after being runner up with her partner, Japan's Yui Kamiji, in 2013.
Whiley and Kamiji missed out to Dutch top seeds Jiske Griffioen and Aniek van Koot, the same pairing that beat the partnership of Whiley and fellow Brit Lucy Shuker in the 2012 final.
However, Whiley and Kamiji have enjoyed a tremendous run of success since last July, ending 2013 by winning the Doubles Masters before claiming their first Grand Slam titles in Melbourne and Paris this year.
They defeated Griffioen and van Koot in the final at Roland Garros, with Whiley subsequently earning a career best women's doubles world ranking of number two behind Kamiji, who has moved to the top of the women's singles and doubles rankings.
Whiley said: "To have won my first two Grand Slam titles with Yui this year is incredible and we're very excited to be the top two doubles players in the world right now, so we can't wait to play at Wimbledon.
"I've been in two Wimbledon finals so far and, of course, everyone dreams of a victory at their home Grand Slam, so we'll give it our best shot and hopefully we can continue this winning partnership."
Whiley will also compete against Shuker in the event after she was also given direct entry with her doubles partner.
Gordon Reid will contest the men's doubles after he and his Dutch partner Tom Egberink were awarded a wild card.
A total of £50,000 in prize money is on offer for the wheelchair tennis doubles competition and the event will be played from July 4 to 6.

We are having great success in the field and finding all kinds of features related to past land use in the Chicama Valley, such as relic fields and ancient canal systems. We have also found tons of previously unrecorded archaeological sites in the now barren desert. I am excited to return and update the blog with more photos, videos, and information on all of the discoveries!
For now, check out 2013 Teen Science Scholar, Kimi McBryde's account of her first day of travels!
August 1st, 2013
Flying to Fort Worth right now, a long day of travelling ahead of us. It was hard to say goodbye, even knowing that we would only be gone for 3.5 weeks. It's crazy that this trip is actually happening. It all feels kind of surreal right now. We got to Fort Worth at like 2ish in the afternoon (Dallas time). We chilled out in the Fort Worth airport, which is huge-it's bigger than Manhattan. The airport was kind of terrifying and easy to get lost in. Clare, Michele, Lauren and I had lunch at this little burrito place in the airport and then went to wait at the gate for our plane. I think we had about a 3.5 hour wait in Dallas before getting on the plane for Lima. After arriving in Lima, we went through customs and they didn't make us jump through any hoops, which Michele was surprised about. All of the bags made it to Lima, including the soil auger. Interesting fact, in Peru, you don't put any toilet paper in the toilets, it all goes in the trash can. It's hard to break habit and deposit toilet paper in the trash can. In the Lima airport, we had to recheck all of the bags, and they asked a few questions about the auger, but let it through baggage. We waited in the airport till about 5:30 am to board the flight to Trujillo, which was only about a 45 minute flight. Getting in line and getting on the flight for Trujillo was one of the most unorganized and chaotic things I've ever done. Even though the airport and employees do the process every day, it was crazy. They didn't even check the tickets, just kind of assumed you knew where you were going and would get yourself on the correct flight. Also, since it was a commuter flight, it was on a smaller plane, and didn't have a big gate like what we have in the US. The plane was waiting out on the tarmac and had the stairs to climb into the seating area. After the airport person took your plane ticket, you boarded a bus (like the 16th street mall shuttle in Denver) and it drove you to the plane. At the time, the bus kept slowing down and almost stopping at every plane it passed-it was like the driver didn't really know where he was going. The nice thing about that flight, was that they boarded through both the front and back doors of the plane.

Published: 2013-03-28, by Manu Galvez.
One of the most downloaded games of this genre.
There are two game modes "Free Ride" and "Missions". The purpose in "Free ride" mode is to complete tricks by jumping or grinding over platforms. There are four different stages (Original, Holidays, Graveyard, Grind Session). The purpose is shared for all of them, the only difference lies on the amount of jumping, grinding platforms and handicaps/obstacles (zombies, snowmen, elves) that you will have to avoid.
"Missions" mode features different snowboard modalities: timed-race, grinding, jumping, among others, through 30 levels. 3-star scoring system. Level after level you will earn stars and points that will allow you to unlock riders, boards and grabs. There are 13 different riders to unlock, 13 boards and 16 touch tricks. This boosts the game's playability. We are missing an online mode though.
Rider's are tilt-controlled when referring to side-moves and there's a joypad to rotate and jump. Although the screentouch response should be enhanced, it's acceptable.
One interesting feature is the "Wi-Fi remote control". If you have an Android tablet, you can use it as a second-screen and your Android phone as a joypad by connecting them through Wi-Fi.
3D graphics and the music are great. No lag noticed. You can share your scores on Facebook and Twitter as well as in ezone.com leaderboards.
Highly recommended.
