Hottest Hairstyles: Paris
In order to tame that pesky frizz, your first impulse might be to slather your hair with a thick serum; however, if your hair is also fine, you'll want to smooth your strands without sacrificing volume. "The most common mistake that people with frizzy-fine texture make is thinking they need to weigh their hair down," says celebrity hairstylist Ted Gibson. "They use heavy conditioners and serums that don't allow hair to breathe and have a life of its own."
Frizzy-Fine Hair Must:
ApHogee Two-Step Protein Treatment, $20.99, sallybeauty.com
To fight frizz and nourish dry, damaged locks, Gibson recommends a keratin and protein treatment like Aphogee's that will condition hair without weighing it down. If blow-drying, he suggests using a styling product with thermal protection: "Because the diameter of each strand of hair tends to be on the finer side, frizzy-fine hair can be more fragile and vulnerable than other types," he says.

PHILADELPHIA - Cornerback Dan Wilk, quarterback Billy Ragone and center Chris Bush were each named team captains for the upcoming 2013 University of Pennsylvania football season, as announced by head coach Al Bagnoli on Wednesday. Selected by their teammates, the senior trio has combined for four All-Ivy honors and seven Ivy League championship rings.
"Our squad has demonstrated great judgment in their selection of captains," said Bagnoli, who enters his 22nd season in 2013. "Personally, I feel all three were excellent choices and will do a great job leading our squad as we attempt to defend our title. They are quality young men and consistently demonstrate the qualities we want associated with Penn football. They are hardworking, accountable, dependable and motivated. They have excelled both on and off the field and will be excellent ambassadors for the program and the University."
Wilk was named second-team All-Ivy last year after he protected a defensive backfield that ranked second in the Ivies with 12 interceptions - 10 of which came in the last four games of the season en route to four-straight wins and the Ivy title. Wilk was fifth in the league with a team-best three interceptions. The Bethlehem, Pa., native was also fourth among Quakers with 56 tackles and was seventh in the Ivy League with eight pass breakups.
Ragone is a two-time All-Ivy selection and wrapped up another stellar season as the starting quarterback for the Red and Blue in 2012. He finished in the top 10 of the league in rushing, passing and total offense. He led the Quakers with 1,288 passing yards on 118-of-210 (56.2%) passing and was second on the team with 476 rushing yards. He threw for 11 touchdowns and ran for four more. Ragone ranks in the top five all-time at Penn in career pass yards (3,999), pass attempts (602), completions (342), passing touchdowns (28), total touchdowns (47), total offense (5,513) and completion percentage (56.8%).
Bush was a second-team All-Ivy honoree last season as well as a Philadelphia Inquirer Academic All-Area selection. He anchored an offensive line that featured two rushers among the top 10 in the Ivy League, including Lyle Marsh, who finished the season with three-straight 100-yard rushing performances. The Westwood, N.J., native started nine games at center for the Ivy League champions, who finished with the third-best rushing offense in the Ancient Eight.
The Quakers won their third outright Ivy League title in four years in 2012 - a feat which had not been accomplished since 1977-80, but has now been duplicated twice in a decade under Coach Bagnoli. Penn finished with a 6-1 league record and 6-4 mark overall. In 2013, Penn will be vying for an unprecedented fourth outright title in five years and has eight returners that were named All-Ivy last season, including all three captains.
The first time the trio will walk out to the 50-yard line for the opening coin toss will be on Sept. 21 when the Quakers open the 2013 campaign at historic Franklin Field against Lafayette. Game times as well as radio and television schedules will be announced later this summer.

Post-Katrina Shootings by Police: Where Things Stand
Brett Duke/The Times-Picayune
Last month, a parade of New Orleans police officers took the stand in the trial of five current or former police officers charged with killing Henry Glover, burning his body, and covering up the crime.
Glover was one of 11 civilians shot by police in the days after Hurricane Katrina struck, and the trial was the first in a series that is expected to continue next year. One former and two current officers were convicted of Glover's death or participating in the cover up. Eleven others, who admitted during testimony that they either lied to federal officials or withheld knowledge of the crime, have been reassigned to desk duty or suspended pending further investigation. Beyond uncovering the details behind Glover's gruesome death, the trial also exposed that problems within the department go beyond a few bad apples and are of a systemic nature.
In December 2009, ProPublica, PBS "Frontline" and the Times-Picayune rolled out a series of stories on six cases of suspected police brutality in the days after Hurricane Katrina. In the year since those stories ran, investigations by the Department of Justice have probed many of the cases, resulting in indictments. But for some cases, there are still more questions than answers.
Case One: Religious Street. On Sept. 1, 2005, NOPD officers attacked two handcuffed men and sought to keep reporters from documenting it. Times-Picayune City Editor Gordon Russell stumbled upon the scene that day, and it took him five years to reconstruct what happened. Months after publishing Russell's account of what he saw, the Times-Picayune was able to locate the men who were beaten that day and air the story of what happened.
Case Two: Matt McDonald. On Sept. 3, 2005, now-retired NOPD officer Bryant Wininger shot and killed McDonald in the Faubourg Marigny neighborhood. The police department said that McDonald had reached for a handgun, prompting Wininger to shoot. But until McDonald's family was called by a reporter, they never knew he had been killed by a police officer.
An autopsy -- which the coroner's office said it had misplaced -- showed that McDonald was shot in the back. Two independent experts who looked at the autopsy said he was likely in a crouched, protective position, or lying flat on his stomach when he was shot. On Feb. 19, 2010, ProPublica and the Times-Picayune reported that federal officials had subpoenaed documents related to the case. But a year after a story first exposed McDonald's death, questions still remain. The Justice Department would not comment on whether an investigation was pending.
Case Three: Danny Brumfield. Either late on Sept. 2, 2005 or early the next morning, Danny Brumfield was shot by an officer as he attempted to waive down a police car for help. Police said that Brumfield had jumped on top of the car and that he had attempted to stab an officer through an open window. His family said the police car had actually rammed Brumfield, throwing him onto the hood, and that an officer had shot him afterwards apparently for no reason.
On Sept. 30, 2010, NOPD officers Ronald Mitchell and Ray Jones were indicted for lying and obstruction of justice in relation to the shooting. A jury trial is scheduled for August 2011.
Case Four: Keenon McCann. On Sept. 1, 2005, two NOPD SWAT officers -- Capt. Jeff Winn and Lt. Dwayne Scheuermann -- opened fire on a man they said was armed and suspected of robbing people on a highway overpass. They shot Keenon McCann, who survived. The gun that McCann allegedly had was never found. Winn and Scheuermann were questioned for just 11 and seven minutes, respectively. McCann went on to sue the department, but while that case was pending, he was lured outside of his home and killed. As of now, no charges have been filed in the case. The Justice Department would not comment on whether an investigation was pending.
Case Five: Henry Glover. It's been two years since ProPublica, with support from The Nation Institute first wrote about the death of Henry Glover, who was killed on Sept. 2, 2005. His charred remains were later found in a burnt-out car on a levee of the Mississippi River. Over the course of 2010, our reporters and partners revealed more pieces of information about the case, including that a police officer had shot Glover, that a police report was allegedly doctored and that a "missing person" report had been filed by Glover's mother.
In June 2010, the Justice Department indicted five current or former officers for their role in the shooting of Henry Glover, the burning of his body, and the cover-up. A jury convicted Officer David Warren of shooting Glover, Officer Greg McRae of burning his body, and Lt. Travis McCabe of covering up the crime. On August 25, 2010, PBS "Frontline" aired "Law and Disorder," an hour-long documentary about Glover's death and the New Orleans Police Department. The documentary also examined allegations that in the days after Katrina, an order circulated among the department that officers were allowed to shoot looters. The day after a story and the documentary ran, federal officials launched an inquiry into those orders.
Case Six: Danziger Bridge. On Sept. 4, 2005, police ended up in a firefight with a group of civilians on Danziger Bridge. Six civilians were shot, two fatally. No officers were injured. Over time, it came out that none of the civilians either had guns on them or fired at officers.
A retired police lieutenant pleaded guilty on Feb. 24, 2010. Four others followed quickly in his footsteps. Only two have been sentenced so far. A total of 11 officers have been charged in the case. A trial is scheduled for June 2011.
In addition to those six cases, the Department of Justice also looked into alleged racial shootings in the predominantly white neighborhood of Algiers Point. ProPublica and The Nation first detailed those shootings on Dec. 19, 2008. Over the course of a year-long investigation, the groups -- along with the Times-Picayune -- were able to identify Roland J. Bourgeois Jr. as the likely assailant of three African-American men. On July 15, 2010, Bourgeois was hit with federal civil rights charges that he opened fire on a trio of African American men as they walked through his neighborhood a few days after the hurricane.

Don't worry it's not my real hand!
I can't believe it's been over two months since I last blogged! Even though the late spring/early summer time has less simulations happening, these are the days to get all kinds of other things going like upgrades, implementation of new equipment, organizing and special training. And that's what I've been doing! Here's the list of sim doings from the past two months:
(Links are orange and my quick notes are in red.)
1. Amsco 2080M surgical table. Allows for more realistic OR simulations.
2. Laerdal Heartcode ACLS system. A stand alone ACLS training, testing and licensing system.
3. Laerdal Advanced Video System. Digital debriefing now possible for SimMan and SimBaby.
4. Hill Rom 835 Hospital bed setup. Looks like a proper inpatient room now.
Zzzzzzz…SimMan sleeping in his new bed.
5. Sennheieser circumaural headphones. Better sound, better comfort and the ability to hear the goings on in the control room simultaneously.
6. Apple MacBook Pro running StudioCode software. Digital debriefing for the HPS or any other simulation.
7. Sony 26 inch HD LCD screen. Multiple uses for debriefing and didactic work.
8. Primera Bravo 2 disc publisher. Makes multiple copies of various disc types quickly…with on disc printing.
9. Privacy screens. Adds flexibilty and realism to simulation rooms.
Privacy screens have multiple purposes!
10. Sony and Canon digital still and video cameras. Allows us to be our own in house production studio.
1. Attended a "How to Build A Simulation Center" course at the Mayo Multidisciplinary Simulation Center in Rochester Minnesota.
2. Attended Laerdal's Northeast Simulation Users Network at Foxwoods.
SimMan at SUN with a KB Port backdrop.
3. Trained with StudioCode technician and recorded Maine Medical's ER residents for detailed, digital debriefing.
4. Configured the Laerdal AVS system in the control room and re-structured the METI HPS computer 2 so that it is positioned on top of the rack.
5. Re-organized all rooms to be more clean and efficient, using new storage and labeling materials.
HPS dude with computer close by.
So…now the goals for the summer are clear – We want to improve all aspects of our simulations and debriefing capabilities.
A. With the new digital debriefing systems we will leap to a new level of detail and be able to data collect as never before.
B. With more appropriate bedding and clinical gear we can better simulate the "look and feel" of a particular setting.
C. With more time in the summer to learn how to use the new equipment we are able to get comfortable with it and then train faculty come fall.
*Stay tuned for announcements about upcoming blogs and Simulation Users Group Meetings! Enjoy the summer!

DAVID Owen Norris will return to Stockbridge tonight when he performs at St Peter's Church.
Last October he performed in the church to a sell-out audience. The evening combined education and fun, with world famous pianist, composer, conductor and broadcaster David performing on his 1828 Broadwood grand piano.
For the next concert David will give a recital on his brown fortepiano and his 1828 Broadway grand piano – identical to the kind of piano used by Haydn, Mozart and Beethoven.
David's work as a concert pianist has taken him round the world many times. He is a specialist in the music of Mendelssohn and his recital programme will include Mendelssohn's famous Rondo Capriccioso as well as Beethoven's Sonata in C Minor Pathetique and other works by Haydn and Mozart.
Tickets, which cost £14, are on sale from Robinsons Butchers, Stockbridge, The Lights Theatre, in Andover, on 01264 368368, or from Roger Tym, The Old Manse, High Street, Stockbridge, on 01264 810363.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 10/3/2013 (1626 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
Ask Canadian women what disease they're afraid will kill them and most will undoubtedly say breast cancer. What they don't realize? A more immediate threat lurks: heart disease.
That's right. Heart disease -- an illness we typically associate with men -- is the No. 1 killer of Canadian women over age 55, say heart specialists. Meanwhile, younger people aren't exempt, says Dr. Sharon Mulvagh, director of the Mayo Clinic's Women's Heart Clinic.
The cardiologist says it's "concerning" that in the United States, there's been a one to two per cent increase of heart disease in women between the ages of 35 and 50, while, for men, the numbers have decreased by the same amount.
The Rochester, Minn., based Mulvagh -- who originally hails from Ottawa -- was in Winnipeg last week to speak at Heart of a Woman, a conference about cardiovascular health.
Here's some of my conversation with the effervescent cardiologist, marathon runner and advocate for a strong heart:
FP: Why are women so susceptible to heart disease?
SM: It's really a very topical issue right now. There's just been another release of information that women in mid-life have shorter longevity than men. It probably has a lot to do with lifestyle, poor diet, lack of exercise, obesity, education factors.
FP: You mentioned that heart attack symptoms in women are different than those in men. What are the differences?
SM: In 59 per cent of women in a huge study of over one million people, (women) had classic chest pain when they presented with a heart attack compared with 70 per cent of men.
But in addition, they are more likely to have the symptoms of shortness of breath and pain that's elsewhere -- in the jaw or neck or shoulder as well as nausea, vomiting, sweatiness... and fatigue.
FP: Is Aspirin always the right thing to take if you think you're having a heart attack?
SM: Yes. Very rarely would it be a problem. In almost all cases it is the right thing to do. The general recommendation is call 911, take 325 milligrams of Aspirin -- four baby Aspirin or one regular Aspirin. Chew it because it gets absorbed more quickly.
FP: You've been studying the role of glucose and insulin on heart disease. What is the connection?
SM: We're looking at the impact of different levels of glucose in the body, normal and high. The effect acutely on coronary blood flow reserve -- that's the delivery of blood to the heart muscle. We found that coronary blood flow decreases when the blood sugar is higher.
FP: So, you were looking at patients with Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes?
SM: No. Just Type 2. And non-diabetics.
FP: So, is it fair to say that the more carbohydrates a person eats, the higher the risk for heart disease? In other words, can we assume that even a momentary elevation in blood sugar in someone who doesn't have diabetes is at risk?
SM: Sure. Because we don't really know. Glucose intolerance, particularly for those who have localized abdominal fat, seem to be more at risk for heart disease than the general obese person. High triglycerides. Increased abdominal girth. It certainly could be that the constant exposure to more refined carbohydrates could be doing that.
FP: In light of this information, what's the biggest enemy in heart disease? Is it saturated fat or refined carbohydrates?
SM: That's the $50 million question. I think what the important thing is following a diet like the Mediterranean diet, where the saturated fats are low but the unsaturated fats are high and the carbohydrates include a lot of fibre. It really is the way to go. I tell my patients avoid starchy white things. Saturated fats, meaning fats that come from animal products, that's really the wrong kind of diet to have.
And what the American Heart Association did by (telling people to eat) a low-fat diet was the wrong thing to do. I think we all agree on that now (because everybody filled in with a bunch of carbohydrates).
FP: Here's Canada's Food Guide. I'm sure it's similar to the American food pyramid. Some critics say Canada's guide recommends too many carbohydrates, even though a lot of them whole grain, because even whole grains can substantially raise blood sugar levels. What's your opinion?
SM: It's good that they are recommending fruits and vegetables, but they put grain products (high) up there, too. Olive oil and nuts should be a bigger deal. And you should be eating fish more often -- and meat just intermittently. This is just wrong. (They should recommend only) skim milk (and not higher fat dairy).
FP: Should we be afraid of fat?
SM: Saturated fat. Unsaturated fat are calories, but they are good calories.
FP: How do unsaturated fats help our hearts?
SM: They protect the lining on the blood vessels. Certainly, they bring down triglycerides.
FP: You're a runner. How many marathons have you run?
SM: Seven. I didn't start running until later. I always ran just because it made me feel better, especially during medical school. Going for a run is the equal to about two cups of coffee for me. And it's like money in the bank. You've made your investment for the day. And it's only going to grow. And it stays with you.
FP: You emphasize the importance of exercise in preventing heart disease. Is extreme exercise such as marathon running healthy for the heart?
SM: Any activity that you do, it's important to listen to your body. If you do have risk factors for heart disease, make sure they are under control.
FP: How do we make sure we don't have risk factors?
SM: Talk with your physician and take control of your own health. Demand that the doctor pay attention to your heart health and risk factors.

Worth vs. Work Transforming People and Organizations for The Knowledge Economy
Labour, as its name would suggest, has shouldered its own burden through the ages. Elevating its noblesse or reducing its worth has pitted politicians, social engineers, economists, Marxist theoreticians and capitalists in a titanic ideological struggle that has resulted in labour being commoditised and reduced to the lowest common denominator. Clearly—the dominant western view enjoys a pan global embrace—putting labour, as we once knew and loved it, squarely at the bottom of the Darwinian food chain.
It stands to reason that value or worth inheres in something other than the proverbial "sweat" of our brows. Value now accretes around our ability to build and leverage connectivity and the accumulated social capital that is measured not in dollars and cents, rather in clicks and likes. Social platforms provide us the ability to form a vast and persistent wake or train of links to a constituency of people who maintain an ongoing interest in us and provide us with a basis of worth in the emerging economy. The prudent investor seeking to increase his or her "worth" in this environment, then, would be wise to invest in being highly social and joining the conversation around the water cooler.
There are many, and I would include myself in the many, who stubbornly cling to a sentimental notion of "work" and who view the "Social Thing" as a waste of both time and money (two very familiar friends from the old paradigm of work). This group sees internet use as a form of play at its best and distraction at its worst. We fail to see "traditional" value in it and many of us in law, finance, markets, advertizing, education struggle to wrestle this round peg into the very square hole we created for ourselves over the years.
Walter Ong asserted that the wired generation would enter into what he termed "Secondary Orality" Where being interconnected to the degree that we are forces us to be highly participatory and involved rather than isolated and detached. If you consider traditional organizational schemas pertaining to work, it was mechanistic and hierarchically and linearly structured with each cog doing a very specific job (valued in years of experience and levels of education) performed in relative isolation. It was the age of specialization.
We must then ask, what are the competencies for thriving in this new economy? Learning the Art of Conversation seems to be a crucial one. Connecting and conversing through Facebook, Twitter, Blogs and WIKIs and the like are a good start. Knowledge in this arena seems less proprietary and more of a multi-valent narrative much like going around a campfire circle improvising the lyrics as we move from one camper to the next. For this to work well you need to develop expert listening skills so that you can take what is offered to you, add to it, and pass it on—classic IMPROV theatre techniques that can be gleaned from the works of Sages such as Viola Spolin or Keith Johnstone. A good conversationalist needs to be a generalist so that you can engage with people on their own turf and terms. A good generalist should, naturally, be willing to assume a variety of roles. This ability to switch roles not only confers an adaptive advantage on the individual and the entities that they provide worth to it also helps to build a deep sense of empathy for others in similar situations—especially when you assume new and unfamiliar responsibilities—you understand firsthand what it is like to walk a mile in the novice's shoes and gain an experience at a grassroots level that older, structured organizational forms cannot accommodate.
While most organizations recognize the sea changes that are washing over and around us, few have a clear vision of what they need to do in order to engineer a successful transformation that can effectively leverage the emerging paradigms of value. Part of the problem is the inability to wean the organization from traditional rubrics of valuation and organization. Most consider integration as being a scheme aimed at embedding a new technology into an existing structure with the least amount of disruption. The irony is that it is the disruptive aspect of these technologies that should be leveraged NOT mitigated! Often in these circumstances the irritation caused by the "integration" is grudgingly tolerated by decree. The points of contact in the organization are not in alignment with the natural tendencies of the technologies adopted and they often fail or fail to live up to unrealistic expectations.
Few storied organizations are flexible enough in their thinking to consider that a radical restructuring of the org chart is necessary in order to allow these technologies to revolutionize the way they do things. The real innovation, interestingly enough, is in the capacity to consider the sweeping cultural, organizational and economic changes that might be required—the technology simply acts as an accelerant.
I have been working for approximately 8 years on driving cultural change vis-a-vis technology in an applied education context and have encountered the tensions between maintaining the status quo and driving innovation. I can assure you that simply acquiring the latest greatest technology simply does not work without exporing new forms of organization that reflect the inherent tendencies of these technologies and the environments that they help to shape.
I have attached a dossier of illustrated PDFs that detail some aspects of the knowledge and media ecosystem, the competencies and relations between people working in these environments as well as a series of snapshots detailing moves that I have been making away from linear, factory models of organizational efficiency toward models that are more organic, self organizing, agile and adaptive in order to facilitate RISK-based learning (Rapid Integration of Skills and Knowledge) and effective engagement with emerging technologies and environments.

Brits wanting a holiday in the sun have to stump up a lot more since the pound's crash during the financial crisis. Even after a partial recovery, the pound remains down almost a fifth in real terms against its trading partners.
On the plus side, exports should be booming. Sadly, they aren't. There are plenty of
excuses explanations, but one stands out: British exporters have too much focus on slow-growing European economies and not enough on the whizzy emerging markets. The killer statistic is that the UK exports more to tiny troubled Ireland than to all the Brics put together. Read more

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 4/11/2012 (1753 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
You have to give them credit.
History will record that in the sequel of the farewell to Canad Inns Stadium, the Winnipeg Blue Bombers dug deep and sent the old barn out on a winning note again.
Now, no one is going to confuse this year's send-off — a 19-11 victory over the Montreal Alouettes Saturday afternoon in a meaningless game — with Winnipeg's victory over Hamilton in the East Final last year that sent the Bombers to the Grey Cup.
But in a game that looked for three quarters like the Bombers — as they have so many times this season —were going to simply roll over and die in the face of a deficit, they found a little extra and rattled off 11 points in the final quarter to take back the history of the occasion.
And so with that, the 2012 CFL season goes into the books for the Bombers at 6-12. That ties Winnipeg with the Hamilton Tiger-Cats for the worst record in the CFL, but — in one final indignity to the 2012 season — deprives the Bombers of the first overall pick in the 2013 CFL draft.
Winnipeg won the season series against Hamilton and so will choose second when the league holds its draft next May, but there was not a player or coach in the Bombers locker-room Saturday who would have traded the collective emotional lift they got from beating the East Division champion for the second time in a month for a higher draft pick.
Offensive lineman Glenn January traced his team's fourth-quarter performance back to Thursday, when the club announced they were retaining head coach Tim Burke and GM Joe Mack for next season, and even before that.
"Whenever the higher-ups make a commitment to the people who brought in the majority of this locker-room, you have to believe that in turn is a commitment in us," said January. "It really renews a sense of what we're playing for. This game had a lot of storylines going in...
"We owed it to the fans. And even more so, we owed it to the guys who came before us and laid the groundwork for what it means to be a Blue Bomber."
As they have so many times previously, the Bombers quickly fell behind in the first quarter as Alouettes backup QB Adrian McPherson -- filling in for starter Anthony Calvillo -- led scoring drives on his team's first two possessions of the game, the first culminating in a 17-yard Sean Whyte field goal and the second in a five-yard keeper that capped a nine-play, 73-yard drive.
With a 10-0 deficit to end the quarter, the Bombers end the 2012 season having been outscored an appalling 145-45 in the first quarter. But what was different in the script on this day was that a team that was just 2-11 when trailing at half-time this season, found a way in the second half to get it done.
And the way they found was courtesy of the quick feet of punt returner Jovon Johnson, whose 42-yard return in the third quarter led to a Bombers field goal and whose 70-yard return in the fourth quarter led to a go-ahead six-yard touchdown run by QB Justin Goltz that put the Bombers up for good.
"Any time I get a chance to run back a return," said Johnson, who did that job only sporadically this season after being the team's regular returner in previous years, "it just makes me that much better of a football player."
Burke said that while the win meant nothing in the standings, it meant a lot to his team as they finished with a 4-3 record in their last seven games.
"It shows that there's a lot of character there, there's guys who have ability to play and can beat teams. We won two tough games on the road against good opponents. There's a lot of positives in this," said Burke.
Playing with a long list of injury replacements, including at the quarterback position where third- and fourth-stringers Alex Brink and Goltz respectively were at the controls, the Bombers racked up 357 yards of offence but lost the turnover battle 2-0.
Brink finished 17-26 for 173 yards passing along with another 58 yards rushing, the only blemish an interception in the dying seconds of the second quarter as Winnipeg was attempting to move into field goal position. Goltz was a modest 3-5 for 30 yards and the rushing TD, but he showed poise and used the reps he did receive -- he played the whole fourth quarter -- to help lead the comeback.
McPherson went 17-26 for 193 yards in the air, but the Montreal pivot did his most damage on the ground, where he rushed for 102 yards and a touchdown. Montreal finished with 328 yards in total offence.
Burke said he and his coaching staff will conduct exit interviews of the players over the course of the next few days, before the coaches themselves will meet and begin diagramming next season.
Burke will also have to hire a defensive co-ordinator, a job he said he hopes to have filled "as soon as possible" and certainly no later than Christmas.
FIELDNOTES -- Bombers wide receiver Chris Matthews, who got injured in the third quarter on a hit by Montreal safety Kyries Hebert, said after the game that he was knocked out on the play but felt fine...The last play ever at Canad Inns Stadium was a Kenny Mainor sack of McPherson...An announced crowd of 26,907 looked to be closer to 18,000 or 19,000.

TEACHERS at Peter Symonds College are preparing to strike next week.
With 144 National Union of Teachers members, the largest in the area, the college will see teachers walk out on Wednesday March 26 as part of national action calling schools and sixth form colleges to "stand up for education."
NUT members want to draw attention to the estimated £100 million in cuts that colleges have seen over the past three years.
Nigel Fox, NUT representative for the college on Owen's Road, said: "Staff and students alike are affected by these cuts. The consequences include large classes, overstretched teachers and a narrowing curriculum as 'unviable' courses are axed.
"Funding for things like tutorial support and non-examined activities have been cut by 74%.
"As a country we should be investing in young people and teachers, not cutting post-16 education provision. On March 26 we will be standing up for education."

A WOMAN who nearly fell victim to a phone scam in Sidemoor, has spoken out to warn others of the sophistication of fraudsters.
The woman who didn't want to be named, was targeted by someone claiming they were calling on behalf of the UK government financial services, and offering her a refund on bank charges.
She said: "They said I held a Barclays visa debit card, and read out the first four digits asking me to read out the rest of the number. Then they said could I read out the expiry and they'd tell me when the card started. I still can't believe I did it.
"It was a call centre abroad, but they said they had offices in the UK. They asked me for the security code, and I said 'no'. I said 'call me back tomorrow I want to check with Barclays, this doesn't sound right, I'm not giving you my code'."
At that point the caller tried to convince her to give the information, and failing ended the call.
The woman has since cancelled her card, but she was surprised at how convincing the call was.
She added: "I'm not normally a vulnerable person and I very nearly fell for it. I'm just trying to make people aware. I'm sure there's people more vulnerable than me, and I nearly did it. I've already called my parents and told them to tell their friends, but people should know."
A spokesman for West Mercia Police said: "Any phone calls people receive from banks asking them to update their personal information should be treated with caution. Call the switchboard of the company in question, not any number given by the caller, and ask to be put through to the person that called. Banks will never ask customers to reveal PIN numbers, bank account numbers or passwords. Anyone who believes a PIN number may have been compromised, should change it immediately and alert the card supplier."

Topic: Lainy
This is Terry of misswayne, Friday was two years since Wayne went to be with the Lord. I took off work Friday, went got my prescriptions. I knew I had a bad, bad last weekend, then they stuck Valentine's Day in the middle, you can stay away from that mostly except at work at a elementary school. Friday I was on my own. I had to go downtown Baton Rouge, I stopped my daughters work for a few minutes. Then I decided, with much encouragement from my therapist to get a hobby. So, I stopped at Hobby Lobby, just looking, I haven't sewn much in the last few years, I couldn't believe how much everything has gone up(material). My chaplain from my hospice called to see if I was alright, it made me feel good. I told her I was looking for hobby like sewing something, last summer I made teddy bears, until I broke my thumb). She told me that she can find things for me, through her church or through hospice. It made me feel good that somebody needed my very few talents. After that I went got lunch, went to the cemetary with my baby. Yes, I still cry but I don't feel like my world is doomed, not this week anyway. Next week I might feel different. I go to group tomorrow that's usually always a plus. I nearly caught my house on fire yesterday. I had used the curling iron Monday, yesterday I was separating clothes for washing. When I took the sheets out of the basket, I saw a huge brown spot, I had no idea of what it was I tried scrubbing that only caused a hole. No still no clicked in the head, last night I know that I had gone there 50 times since Monday noon, I was sitting in my bedroom I looked over and saw the curling iron on the floor on. It had already turned brown a spot in the carpet 1 X 4. It was only through God's will, and I surely believe Wayne had something to do with it, or today I probably would be history. So, I believe as hard as it is Wayne wants me to live.
I'm not a widow, I am a wife
We are only apart for heaven's sake
You are waiting for me at heaven's gate

No Darvish, no problem for Orioles
Baltimore completes four-game sweep, topping Texas, spot starter Baker
BALTIMORE -- On the night that the Orioles took over first place in the American League East, Adam Jones' ceremonial celebratory pie to the face was reserved for Steve Pearce.
His face has stood out. The slugger has been a whirlwind of power, speed and consistency for the O's and one of the biggest surprises in all of baseball. The Orioles have been without some of their best players and have needed help from the previously unknowns to catch the Blue Jays for the top spot in the division. It's never been a more fun time for Pearce.
"Especially being where we are in the division," he said. "We're fighting and winning."
Baltimore moved into first place in the division on Thursday night and it got there on the back of Pearce. He collected a career-high four hits and drove in a pair of runs to help the O's finish off a four-game sweep of the Rangers with a 5-2 win in front of 24,535 at Oriole Park at Camden Yards.
Pearce added a pair of steals, two doubles and a run scored. Coming off a June where his on-base-plus-slugging percentage of 1.099 ranked second in the entire American League, Pearce has started his July even better.
"Running out of things to describe him," Baltimore manager Buck Showalter said. "Let you guys do it."
Except that there is no way to properly describe the tear that Pearce is on. In the third inning, he gave the O's (46-39) an early lead with an RBI single. Two innings later, he got the lead back with one of Orioles' season-high six doubles.
In the seventh inning, Pearce notched his fourth hit, stole his second base and scored a run on a single by Chris Davis.
"Their bats came alive over there," Texas manager Ron Washington said. "We didn't score enough runs. They played better than us."
Wei-Yin Chen once again vexed the Rangers (37-48). The starting pitcher surrendered just two runs in six innings to pick up the win and improve to 4-0 with a 1.67 ERA in his career against Texas.
"I think I did OK out there," the lefty said through a translator. "Tonight we got a win because our offense did a pretty good job and our defense played really well behind me."
After Chen's (8-3) solid outing, Baltimore turned to its bullpen anchored by Zach Britton for the third straight night. Britton, who began his first season as a reliever as a middle-innings guy, notched his 12th save of the season by holding on in the ninth to hand Texas a ninth straight road loss for the first time since 2005.
Like Pearce, Britton was once a well-regarded prospect who has reinvented himself in 2014 and helped lift the O's to the top of the division.
They were fortunate on this particular day that Yu Darvish, the Cy Young candidate who was originally scheduled to start, was scratched when the game was delayed for 56 minutes due to rain and his replacement Scott Baker (0-2) lasted just 4 2/3 innings, but the recent days have been a struggle.
The Orioles have played with a 24-man roster since Monday as third baseman Manny Machado serves a five-game suspension. During that same stretch, Davis has been mired in his biggest slump of the season and his batting average has dipped to .207. Still, they've rallied around the adversity and emerged with four victories in four tries.
"Looks like we are," Pearce said. "We're relying in some people and people are stepping up. We're pitching, we're hitting, we're having timely hitting. We're finding ways to get it done."
After the game ended, Baltimore was hit with the latest bit of adversity -- travel issues. The O's are playing in Boston at 1:35 p.m. on Friday and their plane was running late because of the weather. They wouldn't have one until 2 a.m. at the earliest, Showalter said.
Eventually, though, they'll scrape together a way to get to Fenway Park and take the field against the Red Sox as the top team in the AL East -- even if it is just by percentage points.
"It's a relentless journey," Showalter said. "You walk up in your office and the travel secretary tells you you don't have a plane, and how are we going to get to Boston? So you move on to the next challenge, and there'll be another one at Fenway in some form or fashion tomorrow."

Topic: New Member - Dad not getting any treatment
Hello All,
I have been reading through the posts now for a few weeks, trying to piece together as much information as I can. This site is amazing, and it is wonderful to see such caring people sharing support with each other. I am truly sorry for all you have experienced.
My father was diagnosed on February 1st of this year. He initially presented with acute jaundice and itching. After diagnosis, he chose not to pursue any treatments, but he did receive a plastic stent via ECRP, in March. That alleviated the itching and jaundice. Two-three weeks ago he started presenting with jaundice again, but this time no itching. I told him he needs to get his stent replaced, but he is not interested. I spoke with his doctor, and they said they could call in antibiotics if we wanted, but he would need to go in for a blood test first. He does not care to do that either. His jaundice is worse this time than last, but again, no itching.
The fatigue has really gotten to him this time. It is sad to watch, and feel helpless. He says he is not ready to let hospice come in either, and has asked us to respect his decisions. While trying to do that, it is hard not knowing what we need to look out for, or do to make things easier. Overall, Dad is staying in good spirits, although yesterday he was noticably more withdrawn. Any advice, good or bad, is welcome. Hoping he lets hospice in soon, that will take some of the burden off of us, not knowing how to help. Thank you in advance.....you all have already helped tremendously!

I remember the good ol' days when this forum hustled and bustled with activity, participation, and interaction. Those were the days when many, many folk had a CharGriller SuperPro or similar. In fact, many of us found our way here through the CharGriller site. As many moved on to other alternative models of "pits," (eg. Big Green Egg), so they moved on to other forums.
Do you remember Steven? Are you listening? I yearn for this forum to be like it once was-- THE forum to be, rather than its current ghost town like state. May I make, for now, two simple suggestions?-- One, take the initiative to get on the new Kamado bandwagon (which is going to give the BGE a run for its money), and direct those people here, perhaps through CG, or something along those lines. Remember, when this place bustled, the overwhelming popularity of the CG thread. Also, I would like to offer testimony as to how valuable and important such a simple thing like a plethora of emoticons for incorporating into posts really is. People just have too much fun with those, and can communicate on an extra special level.
I, for one, would sure like to know that you care about your forum. I apologize if I am missing something.

A WOMAN who was apparently spotted with a gun in Poole on Sunday evening remains in custody this morning.
Police had informed the Daily Echo that the woman, in her 40s, had been released, but they now say that she remains in custody.
A spokesman did confirm that the incident involved an air weapon.
Armed police were called to the Yarmouth Road area yesterday after the woman was spotted appearing to hold a handgun.
The emergency services received reports from several members of the public at around 5.05pm of a woman seen in Yarmouth Road, which leads off Alder Road.
A police spokesman said that the woman was not found with the gun when she was arrested, but a weapon was located nearby.
Officers attended and arrested a woman a short time later, on nearby Surrey Road.

A Queensland party organiser may be banned from hosting unregistered events under council laws designed to rein in out-of-control teenage partying.
Logan City Council is exploring its legal options against the party host after 200 teenagers flocked to a vacant block of land in Loganlea in Brisbane's outer suburbs on Saturday night.
Yohans ''Yoyo'' Shol hosted an open party, dubbed ''Yoyo's Round 3'', at a house in the nearby suburb of Underwood. After police and firefighters shut down the party, the teens converged on the vacant block. Drunken teens started brawling, smashing bottles and screaming abuse at residents.
Logan City Council is considering issuing Mr Shol with a stop order, barring him from hosting future parties without a permit.
Mr Shol will not be pursued by police, because he has not committed a criminal offence. But irresponsible party hosts can be fined up to $22,000 for breaching a stop order. Logan's deputy mayor Russell Lutton said he was shocked teenagers as young as 13 were attending unsupervised, open parties.

Decided to give a recipe from the BGE Cookbook a try tonight. It was the Mesquite Lemon-Pepper Wings with Creamy Feta Dressing recipe. Except I didn't use mesquite, I used cherry wood. I also added some corn starch for the crispiness factor and grilled them up differently. I personally like the indirect setup at around a 375-400 deg f dome temp.
My wife bought a bunch of wings, so we also made some Buffalo Ranch Wings...those were crazy good too.
The Lemon Pepper Wings are on the left, and the Buffalo Ranch Wings are on the right....those will get tossed in the sauce once finished.
The Lemon Pepper wings got brushed with the mixture of Lemon Zest / EVOO throughout the cook.
Here are the Buffalo Ranch Wings finished. The corn starch gave them a nice and crispy fried skin...
The Lemon Pepper Wings are on the left, the Creamy Feta Dressing is in the middle, and the Buffalo Ranch Wings are on the far right.
So good...

South Goa lifestyle
- South Goa
Look for outstanding spices, precious stones and fabrics in the shops. In the north and south of the country you'll find stalls selling locally produced goods, and there's also the famous Anjuna market where you can pick up some excellent souvenirs. It's also worth visiting Panjim to get branded clothing for a fraction of what you would pay at home.
Although there's a large selection of bars and restaurants serving every type of cuisine you could imagine, you can't visit Goa without trying some of the local specialties. Chicken Xacuti is something you'll find on most menus, which is a spicy dish served with rice. The seafood is also wonderful: giant tiger prawns and kingfish are often served straight from the tandoori oven. As far as drinks are concerned, Feni is the local spirit made from cashew nuts and coconut, and Kingfisher is India's most famous beer.
North Goa is where the night-life happens. There are several clubs, and many hotels also have weekly live music. There's a floating casino docked at Panjim, and carnivals are held in the town throughout the year. The south is much more tranquil, although the beach shacks will stay open until the last person leaves - and you'll always meet a local that will have a story or two to keep you entertained!

What tips and advice can you give me on how to train my toddler not to wear
nappies at night. Though she's already potty trained and no longer wearing
nappies during daytime she still sometimes pees in bed.
What tips and advice can you give me on how to train my toddler not to wear
nappies at night. Though she's already potty trained and no longer wearing
nappies during daytime she still sometimes pees in bed.
Hi Mumnlikenit,
I found that all of my children potty trained at night at different times. One was 3, one was 8, and the others were in between there somewhere. But I never ended up with a teenager who wasn't potty trained
There are many different things that can play a part in potty training at night. One thing I found was when things were more stressful around the house (i.e. tension between my husband and I, or my husband being gone more than usual) that my children would have more accidents at night.
But for the normal training situations, I found these wonderful cloth pads that I could put across the bed, under them. These pads held up to 6 cups of liquid. I had two of them. At night I would put one on the bed, and if my child wet the bed at night and she woke up to it, I would direct her to take the wet pad off the bed, put the dry one on (just had to lay it on the bed), change her clothes and get back in bed. She did this on her own.
Sometimes I found that if they were wet night after night, that they just weren't ready to be in underwear at night, so I kept them in a nappy until they started to wake up dry. I also found that waking them up and taking them to the lu at 11PM helped them to wake up dry. My husband would usually be the one to do this as he would come to bed after I was already asleep.
And, of course, having them empty their bladder right before going to bed helps, and having them stop drinking any liquids 3 hours before going to bed can help too.
Here's a great article on how to Toilet Train in Just One Day.
It mentions a night time routine too, so do take a look.
Hope this helps - please post back and let us know how she's doing.
Warm regards,
The pads that Kate mentioned sound great! She always has such fantastic suggestions.
As for training times, I have a five-year-old who still wets at night. His older sister stopped at around three. The two younger ones haven't quite made it to potty training yet so I cannot say when they will be night trained.
With the oldest, it just happened. Same with daytime training. One day she just got it. =)
It's frustrating sometimes for me and my husband, cause we hear our friends who has kids with same age that their kids no longer wear nappies. My husband feels that I'm not doing something to train her. But it was my sister in law who mentioned as well that it's the same case with her...it just happened, one day my nephew don't want to wear nappies at all. And I'm waiting for that day to happen as well with my daughter of course applying the advices that you shared here.
Thanks a bunch Kate and mom2many!
Hello All,
I also have a 3 year old son who is potty-trained and not wearing nappies during the day or when taking a short nap (even pees when he feels that he has to). However, he still needs to wear nappies during the night because he pees a lot and can't control it yet.
So what my husband and I are doing these days is to let him pee before going to bed and wake him up a few times during the night and make him pee. In this way, he can control it everytime nature calls. The first few days were terrible though but he is doing fine lately. Putting some pads underneath his bed is a good suggestion though, it saves much on the cleaning time.
Hi MumO'Three,
We also found that if we have the children empty their bladders before bed, and then my husband takes the children potty at 11PM, that they will almost always be able to wake up dry in the morning. That coupled with not letting them drink right before they go to bed

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 9/7/2013 (1504 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
It's summer and everyone with a family knows exactly what that means.
It's time for the annual fun family vacation, wherein everyone piles into the family car and, within minutes, drives off a cliff, because you have been driven insane by the constant bickering and the fact offspring No. 1 insists on sitting on offspring No. 2's side of the (bad word) car, even though No. 2 drew an invisible line down the middle of the (bad word) seat.
The problem is, as Canadian citizens, you are required by federal law to experience fun family vacations so that, in years to come, you can look back and, in your heart of hearts, come to a deep spiritual understanding of why everyone in your family hates one another.
The biggest challenge in planning a family vacation -- even bigger than deciding which offspring you are going to leave at the nearest gas station -- is to figure out where to go to maximize your fun experience. As a public service, I spent several minutes on the Internet on Tuesday plotting out some attractions you will not want to miss.
Based on an outstanding article I have just read in Reader's Digest's online magazine, I am going to suggest you start your excursion at the Calgary Stampede, where you can take in the 20th annual Testicle Festival, which I wish I was kidding about but, sadly, am not.
Every year during the Stampede, Calgary's Buzzard's Cowboy Cuisine restaurant and its adjoining pub, Bottlescrew Bill's, serves up platters of prairie oysters, the polite term for bull bits. You can feast on something called "bacon-wrapped tendergroin." Don't forget to pick up the official festival T-shirt, sporting such sensitive slogans as: "Having a ball!" You'd be nuts to miss it.
Now that everyone has eaten, hop back in the car and head west to the bustling city of Duncan, B.C., because the kids are going to want to feast their eyes on the World's Largest Hockey Stick, which stretches 62 metres and tips the scales at 28,000 kilograms.
Listed as No. 3 on Reader's Digest's list of Canada's 10 Biggest Things, the giant stick was made from Douglas fir and was created for Expo '86 in Vancouver, which I attended and can therefore state categorically that, if you were to use this stick in an actual hockey game, you would instantly be crushed flatter than that poor porcupine Dad ran over when you left Calgary.
But you don't have time to worry about flattened porcupines, because it's time to steer in the direction of our beloved province -- which, in case you have forgotten where you live, is Manitoba -- to spend some quality family time at the Narcisse snake pits.
Mom and Dad will especially have fun trying to cover the kids' eyes to shield them from the fact that what the tens of thousands of garter snakes are doing is rolling themselves into huge hissing balls to have (Note to sensitive readers: Skip this next bit if you are offended by words beginning with the letter S) sizzling snake sex.
If you stick to the special viewing platforms, you will have time to marvel at a miracle of nature and answer some difficult questions from the kids, such as: Why don't these snakes just get a website like everyone else?
Once the snakes have reduced their stress level, they slither off to wetlands and spend the summer getting fat on minnows and toads, which are better for their health than smoking tiny snake-sized cigarettes.
Speaking of places with naughty names, once you've savoured snakes, it's time to visit the picturesque Niagara region of southern Ontario to view one of the most beautiful waterfalls in the world. No, we are not talking about THOSE waterfalls. We are referring to the majestically named Balls Falls, which are the highlight of the Ball's Falls Conservation Area.
You might want to hurry, though, because the website WaterfallsofOntario.com offers this urgent tip for tourists: "You should be warned, however, that the falls can dry up completely in late summer."
We hear there's medication for that, but that's not today's travel point. Today's point is we have arrived at your final vacation spot, which rates as No. 4 on Reader's Digest's list of Canada's 10 Strangest, Crudest and Rudest Town Names. We are referring, of course, to Crotch Lake, Ont.
Travel tip: Make sure to bring along a lot of baby powder, because as the website points out: "Poking fun at its name is a shot below the belt, especially since Crotch Lake gives plenty of reasons to visit the nether regions of the North Frontenac Park Lands."
Once you've scratched that off your list, so to speak, you can point the car towards home, stopping first at the kennel to pick up Rover and Mr. Whiskers. They sure look relaxed, don't they? Maybe next year you can join them at the kennel. Talk to the spouse about that, just as soon as you get that big ball of snakes out of the back seat.

I cannot believe that there is one sentient being in existence who could reasonably question the fact that burning a cross on the lawn of a POC is a hate crime. I came across the story at the black lunatic and I simply had to write a post about it..
According to The Morning News, "A rental home where a mother with three biracial sons lived burned to the ground only days after she says people set a wooden cross ablaze in her yard."
"Deputies arrested Jacob Wingo, 19, on charges of terroristic threatening and aggravated assault over the cross burning. Jailers said Wingo posted bond shortly after his arrest Thursday."
Yvette Briggs, Wingo's mother, said he turned himself in to authorities earlier and "told the truth."
"It was all a joke," Briggs told the Arkansas Democrat-Gazette. "He's got mixed friends. He's got black friends – he does not hate people. If he knew it was considered a hate crime, he would never have done anything like that."
So let me get this straight, your son should be rewarded for telling the truth, and he really doesn't hate blacks, because he supposedly has a black friend. You would think that maybe, just possibly, one or two of those black friends that you claim he socializes with, would have told him that it might not be a good idea to burn a cross as a sign of love, respect or camaraderie. When most people want to be friendly to new people in the neighbourhood, they stop by with a cake, or a pie even.
Call me crazy but burning a cross just doesn't seem to say welcome to the neighbourhood. Perhaps all of the images popularized in the media of men in white sheets burning crosses just looked like some kind of weird celebration of Halloween. Maybe he believed that when they were screaming, "white power" as the crosses burned they were making a statement about how wonderful bleach is at keeping whites, white and not actually pushing a racial agenda. Come on, not even the fictional Forest Gump is that dumb.
How much longer do white people believe they can use the I have a "black friend" card to cover their clearly racist behaviour? I would like to know the name of the black kid that goes around befriending racists so that I can smack him. Really though, I think I have finally figured out the mystery of the black friend…he/she is imaginary aren't they? …Yep, your "pretend buddy" that you can whip out every time the word racist is thrown your way. Here is a little tip, next time you go to pull the "black friend" out of your defence arsenal, please be aware that this excuse has worn thin, and we (anti-racists) are on to your sorry, lying asses.

Scholars from Tijuana and San Diego are key contributors to a new book that looks at the changing relationship between the United States and Mexico, examining issues such as immigration, trade, drug trafficking and water resources.
Among the recommendations of "Mexico and the United States: The Politics of Partnership," are: increasing investment in infrastructure and education; promoting debate about whether to decriminalize marijuana possession; and collaborating on the management of aquifers beneath the U.S.-Mexico border.
"What we are stressing is that this is a new phase," in the bilateral relationship, said Tonatiuh Guillén, president of Mexico's Colegio de la Frontera Norte, and one of the book's contributors. "This obliges societies and governments to respond in a coherent manner."
During a presentation of the book on Wednesday at the Colegio's Tijuana headquarters, Guillén and other authors said that factors such as growing economic interdependence, security issues after the 9/11 terrorist attacks, and an upsurge in drug-related violence have changed the terms of the relationship between the two countries.
With a new president in Mexico, Enrique Peña Nieto, and the re-election of President Barack Obama last fall, the timing was right to re-examine the relationship, said Peter H. Smith, professor of political science and Latin American Studies at the University of California San Diego. Smith co-edited the book with Andrew Selee, vice president of the Wilson Center in Washington, D.C.
"There is closer collaboration than ever between the United and Mexico in areas such as commerce and culture," said Alberto Díaz-Cayeros, director of University of California San Diego's Center for U.S.-Mexican Studies and co-author of one of the chapters. "And yet the United States as a country lives in denial of the reality of the state of its relationship with Mexico."
One chapter, "Drugs, Crime and Violence," written by University of San Diego professor David Shirk together with Luis Astorga of the National Autonomous University of Mexico, urges that the United States and Mexico lead a hemisphere-wide campaign to reduce drug demand.

THE Archbishop of York has hailed a decision by Nestlé to launch a Fairtrade two-finger KitKat next month.
The York confectioner's move means more than a billion bars a year will now carry the familiar Fairtrade mark and gives a boost to an additional 4,500 cocoa farmers in the Ivory Coast.
The Archbishop, Dr John Sentamu said he was delighted by the news. "Having been to the Ivory Coast and met farmers there, I understand how great the challenges are," he said.
"We must continue to press for a fair deal for producers, and for the welfare of children and families in their communities. "This latest step is a sign of Nestlé's ongoing commitment to change across the whole cocoa industry."
KitKat, the UK's favourite chocolate biscuit bar, first went Fairtrade in January 2010 when the four-finger version was certified.
Ciaran Sullivan, Nestlé Confectionery managing director, said the launch of the two-finger version was the next step on the company's journey toward a sustainable supply of quality cocoa.
"Farmers in the Nestlé Cocoa Plan receive benefits such as new plantlets, farmer training and new schools for their communities," he said. "Ivorian farmers badly need our support and this move will help even more cocoa farmers and their families build a positive long term future."
Mike Gidney, of Fairtrade, said: "This is sweet news not only for the farmers and communities but also for consumers. "We know how much Kit Kat four-finger going Fairtrade has been able to transform communities in the Ivory Coast.
"For example, the Fairtrade certified co-operative Kavokiva has already been able to develop a variety of community projects including health insurance for all members and their families with their Fairtrade premiums. "We are very excited now that Kit Kat two-finger is going Fairtrade."
Ivorian farmer Kouame Fasseri, who has appeared on the back of the Fairtrade four-finger KitKat since its launch, said that when people bought such products, it was small farmers like him who benefited. "Nestlé has been a very good partner to us," he said.

>Racing>50K Training Plans
Just got picked in a lottery today to run my first 50K in March. Does anybody know of any good training plans for a 50k. I've followed Pfitzinger's 18/55 plan for my last two marathons and my initial thought for the 50K was to follow this, but add some more mileage to my long run day. Also, I thought I'd drop the VO2 Max workouts and just do some occasional tempo runs to keep the speed in the plan. This 50K is mostly trail (inclines/declines), but does has some asphalt at the beginning.
Some 50ks are like long marathons, while others are much MUCH tougher. My fastest 50k has been 4:23. My slowest was 7:45. I was actually in the same basic shape for both... the difference? The courses! One was rails-to-trails (basically like road) and the other was gnarly trails.
For a race more like the first, just stick with ye olde marathon training plan. And I wouldn't even worry too much about extending the long run. Maybe do one more long run.... maybe... More importantly, get your volume (mpw over time) up and pay particular attention to pacing on race day. You CAN go out and do a 25-27ish long run, but that may just beat you down. Or not. I've done it. But I don't think you need to do it.
For a race like the second, things get murkier.
Either way, try to get some running time in/on surfaces and climbs/descents similar to your race if at all possible.
Srlopez hit most of it pretty well. I would argue weekly volume is most important. I finished two 50 milers based totally on weekly volume. My plan was to try to get as much time on the trails or similar surface as possible and to get my MPW above 50. My first 50 was a flat .5 mile loop (it was actually a 12hr race) but I think I only had one long run in the 18-20 mile range. However, my weekly mileage was above 50. For the second 50 miler, my volume was capped out above 50 mpw. I also ran a couple of 20+ runs, a 28 mile FA, and a trail marathon before the race. I prefer having runs above 20 miles during training. But everyone is an experiment of one. I tend to use ultraraces as training runs for a goal race. I also like to run far with friends so FAs work well for me. The nice thing is that the ultra season is long so as long as you base is good you could experiment with both styles of training in a year.
As far as VO2 Max workout and temps, don't stop doing them. I think Pfitzinger's plan allows you to fit them into an ultra training plan well. You could replace the VO2 workout or speed work with some hill repeats. I would recommend this if your race is going to be really hilly. If the course has a lot of hills/elevation gain, you could also do some walking/hiking cross-training or replace one of the recovery runs with a hiking session. I like to use the treadmill, set it on 10-12% incline and walk as fast as possible for 20-30 minutes. The stairclimber is also a good alternative.

I am doing the Chattooga 50K in May, it will be my first ultra as well as my first real trail race. This is what was suggested to me to do once a week in place of an interval/speedwork day.
Going out with some friends today to hit the trails up in Auburn, CA...part of the Western States. I'm sure this will motivate me. The one worry I do have is that I just ran the CIM December 2nd, took a week off, and this week was my first back. There is only 11 weeks until my 50K. I hope I can get the training in that I need to be successful. I've run the CIM the last three years as my goal race with no other races planned for at least 4 months, and that was only a half. I've always been able to ease into my next race. With this 50K, I'm right back to training after a tough marathon (my quads were really messed up from all the rain...extra weight in my shoes).
Yeah, definitely have to hit the trails more. So much more different than the road and so damn fun. SRL, you are a West Coast guy so you might be familiar with the Way Too Cool 50K in Auburn? That's the one I'm doing and part of that course is the Western States. I did wear my Wave Riders and they seemed to do fine so I don't think I'll buy any trail shoes.

16 October 2012: World Food Day
The German emergency relief organization Welthungerhilfe supports people all over the world by helping them to help themselves. One focus of its work is on projects aimed at bringing about lasting improvements in food supply. October 15, 2012
Deutsche Welthungerhilfe has been in existence for 50 years now. Since its foundation in 1962, this independent and private aid agency in the field of development cooperation has provided nearly 2.5 billion euros in funding for more than 6,800 projects in 70 countries — in its fight for a world without famine or poverty. The spectrum of the organization's work extends from swift disaster relief to reconstruction and longer-term projects. Working in tandem with partner organizations at the local level, Welthungerhilfe's goal is to help people to help themselves and lead a self-determined and dignified life.
Take for instance the Nepalese mountain farmers in the Himalayan village community of Korak, who belong to an ethnic minority. Their knowledge of how to utilize natural resources sustainably has been lost as a result of civil war and social marginalization. What is more, severe monsoon rains and droughts are on the increase, with devastating consequences for harvests. Since November 2011, however, the tide has begun to turn: in nine communities, Welthungerhilfe and its local partners have started to work together with the population. For the first time, the people in Korak feel that they are being taken seriously. Never before have they ever had any say in things – but now their needs are being identified for a village development plan. The People's Forum, which represents all sections of the population, was established as the project's umbrella organization. This has meanwhile given rise to more than 40 different initiatives in the areas of road building, sustainable forest use and reforestation, irrigation, integrated agriculture and marketing as a source of income. The training and education programmes are tailor-made for the people in Korak.
Another example is the famine crisis in the Horn Of Africa, which in 2011 provoked a tremendous willingness to help in Germany. "For East Africa alone, we received donations of 17 million euros, not only to provide acute survival relief but also to lay the foundations for long-term improvements in food supply", reports Wolfgang Jamann, chairman of Welthungerhilfe. Around eight million people in the region continue to rely on emergency aid as a result of drought, crop failures and high food prices, not to mention the tense security situation.

The Immigration Department employs a 66-strong team of spin doctors, dwarfing the 39 media and communications staff employed by Prime Minister Tony Abbott and the ministers on his frontbench.
In August last year, Immigration employed 72 media staff, but the 66 officers who now work in the media unit are supported by a further 33 staff, who work on media operations and events in the Australian Customs and Border Protection Service.
In 2011, the Immigration Department reportedly employed just 13 spin doctors.
Fairfax Media asked the Immigration Department to comment on its media staffing levels, but was referred to Mr Morrison's media team, which did not respond.
Details about the staffing levels were quietly tabled by the department last week in response to a series of questions posed by Labor senator Joe Ludwig during budget estimates hearings in November. The staffing figures were correct as at November 19.
The documents show Mr Morrison's office spent $29,788 on media monitoring in just over two months between September 7 and November 19.
The department spent another $11,476 on media monitoring in that period, including $9056 for transcripts of Mr Morrison's weekly Operation Sovereign Borders briefings (which he has since abandoned).
