Nigel McGuinness joined Inside The Ropes this week to promote his 'Last of McGuinness' film. Highlights from the interview are as follows:
Does he still consider his career a failure after the films release: "I had to come round in my own time. To a certain extent, I still feel the same way I did then. I didn't achieve my dream. My dream was to be there, wrestling in the WWE, to have enough money to retire with and to be recognised on the street. I think the upshot of it was through this, the experiences I've had and getting to impact people's lives somewhat which made it worth the effort. That to me is the story of the documentary."
On being part of ROH as an on screen talent: "I love being a part of Ring of Honor. I felt like I achieved everything I could there so there wasn't that sense of disappointment there. I was very happy with my career there. It's nice to go back there and try to help them reach that next level."
His opinions of the fan criticism of ROH not being as good as it was: "We're in a difficult period, with the transition. When Punk and Joe left it was difficult to fill that void, when Dragon and I left, it was difficult to fill that void. The other guys have got to step up, but they've got to be given the opportunity to step up in the right way. Going forward, Delirious has got the reigns creatively and I think we're all excited about that and trying to get Ring of Honor back to the way it was where it was about bell to bell, the best in ring product in the world. There was some teething problems when Sinclair took over, but I feel like we're headed in the right direction and I'm excited to see where things go."
Feelings on British Bootcamp: "No I haven't had a chance to watch any of it. I'm super happy for them. Spud is a guy who I've seen on shows and thought was fantastic but like most people I thought he was too small, based on the hiring practices to be given a contract overseas but it's fantastic he's been given the opportunity."
Would he ever consider going back to TNA in any capacity: "I don't think there's anything I could add to them based on their current product. They have a notion of what wrestling is and they're gonna stick with that so I'm not really interested."
To hear the full chat where Nigel talks about the challenges of making the documentary, potential touring with the film, his dream match , his feelings on Cesaro, Bryan & others in WWE and more, head to www.facebook.com/theinsidenetwork.
He had a lot of potential in TNA, he and Magnus were getting a push as a tag team and then he got sidelined with medical problems and that was that.
He is the only guy who didn't truly 'make it' like his fellows in Aries and Danielson.
he would of if it wasnt for his health problems. i love him in tna!
man i had to look him up, because he look different with hair
He could come back and wrestle now if he wanted to, he's medically cleared. Doubt Dixie is interested anymore though, especially with Hogan and Bischoff around. They buried him once they got in the company.
Wolfe only got buried in his matches against RVD, he was involved in all the big storylines until he had his health issues.
desmond wolfe forever!
I've never once seen him talk about his time with TNA, the guy was set to be huge, not many people walk into a company, go straight into a feud with one of the top guys (Angle) and come out of it looking great.
Not forgetting he won the first no.1 contender's poll… (which only lasted for three months.)
i dont thiunk so…. but you do realise it ended because of unlimited voting n macros riht

Duke the dog here really is man's best friend, or at least boy's best friend.
The 14-month-old Newfoundland was nominated for Pet of the Day by Kellyanne from Swanley.
Duke loves toys, crabsticks and kids but dislikes birds.
What makes your pet so special? My son is six and has autism. Duke always knows when he is upset or needs a cuddle. We have had him only since last Christmas and the bond between them is lovely.

Organizing Arts and Crafts
Kieran and I love to do arts and crafts: stickers, coloring, painting, gluing, cutting, anything that involves creativity is ok with us. We were blessed with an abundance of art supplies at Christmas, and I couldn't figure out how to store them.
We had feathers, pompoms, glitter glue, pretty scrap paper, craft sticks, and fifty-seven other craft supplies dumped unceremoniously into our craft bins.
Thank you Mandy for suggesting the clear shoe boxes sold at Costco (14 boxes for $14.99). They have been an organizational lifesaver! I really need to go back and get some more, just in case Costco stops selling them (which they are apt to do).
Here are the after pictures of my art and craft organizational heyday this week. I didn't have the heart to show you before pictures, I'll leave it to your imagination.
This three drawer storage cart is low to the ground. Everything in this cart is safe for Kieran to get into in case he decides to do some solo crafting.
The bottom two bins on our tall storage bin are Kieran-friendly. The bottom drawer has his trains and train tracks, the next drawer up has scrap paper, crayons, and a nature tray (currently full of pine cones and seashells). He has been quite pleased that he can get to these items whenever the urge strikes.
The top drawers are craft supplies that require supervision: glue, markers, etc. I store paint and large craft supplies in the hall closet; Kieran would need adult assistance to get to them.
How do you organize your arts and crafts?

I'm glad it worked out for you! hmmm….maybe I should pick up another pack just in case they do stop carrying them….
We have drawer units similar to yours, but the craft stuff just doesn't stay in there anymore. My 4-year-old likes to pull everything out when she's working on a 'project' and then she distributes it widely. I do make an effort to return things as they are used, and I require her to do some cleaning as well, but it's a constant effort. But I'm OK with that, because I would rather that she uses her craft supplies, having fun and learning, than have a pristine craft system. There are children involved, so perfection is out of the question.
we have crayons, paper, coloring books and play dough supplies on a shelf in the kitchen. Everett uses the play dough all the time, but I'd like to have his other supplies (markers, stickers, etc) more available to him but we have his cousin over alot who is 18 mos younger. So we have all of that other stuff up on a high shelf in his room. Any suggestions on how to make it more available for Everett but not his cousin? Maybe the bins on wheels so we can just wheel them into another room or closet when his cousin is over…?

Warning Signs of a Stroke
Act FAST
Understanding stroke symptoms is important not only in saving lives but also in preserving quality of life.
An easy way to remember the warning signs of a stroke is remembering to act FAST.
F Face drooping
A Arm weakness
S Speech difficulty
T Time to call 911
A more extensive list of common warning signs from the American Stroke Association includes:
- Sudden numbness or weakness of the face, arm or leg, especially on one side of the body
- Sudden confusion, trouble speaking or understanding
- Sudden trouble seeing in one or both eyes
- Sudden trouble walking, dizziness, loss of balance or coordination
- Sudden, severe headache with no known cause
What Do I Do if Someone Has Symptoms of a Stroke?
If someone has symptoms of a stroke, it is vital to act quickly. If you see symptoms of FAST, remember to call 911.
In the case of a stroke, a rapid diagnosis and treatment within the first three hours is crucial. Acting quickly can help reduce long-term affects with the proper treatment. If symptoms come and then go, still seek out emergency medical care right away.

On the morning after their most dismal performance of the Stanley Cup playoffs, the Phoenix Coyotes regrouped around captain Shane Doan, who issued a challenge the only way one of the nicest, calmest, most mild-mannered players in the NHL can.
"We know we can be better and we will be," said Doan, who clearly thought what everybody else did too in the opener of the Western Conference final, a 4-2 Phoenix loss. His Coyotes were so thoroughly outplayed by the Los Angeles Kings that even mild-mannered coach Dave Tippett went off on their effort and execution.
Tippett is the antithesis of the New York Rangers' volatile John Tortorella and thus understands that for maybe half-a-dozen times a year, it's okay to call out his players as a motivational strategy. Too much of that and it just goes in one ear and out the other. Judiciously applied, the flat recitation of facts – "we weren't close, we got beat in every facet of the game" – can work to grab their attention.
"He didn't even have to do that," defenceman Keith Yandle said, "because we knew as a group, we didn't compete as hard as we wanted to. Guys know we have to play a harder 60 minutes.
"Everybody's angry at themselves for the way we played. We knew we let Game 1 go."
On the limited evidence of the Coyotes' performance in the opener, you'd think their best chance to get back in the series is to hope for another curfew violation by the opposition.
Last round, Phoenix wasn't all great in the opener against Nashville either, but because the Predators were so immersed in their own off-ice issues, they were a distracted bunch and strayed from their team identity. The Kings are showing no signs of doing that whatsoever. In all the areas in which they were superior on paper, they were better on the ice too, especially on the fore-check, where their big bodies punished the Phoenix defencemen; and around the net, where they pounded some 75 shots toward the net, 48 of which actually leaked through to goaltender Mike Smith.
Smith was under siege all night and delivered another quality outing.
"We were the ones feeling them out and they came at us with everything they had," Smith said. "We need to be more aggressive and play more toward our capabilities and not let them come at us so hard."
In the last series, against Nashville, Game 2 was by far the Coyotes' best effort. Of course, it's hard to say how much that had to do with subpar performances from Nashville's Alexander Radulov and Andrei Kostitsyn, the curfew violators, and how much it had to do with their own performance.
Phoenix is a bit like a metronome – steady as she goes. If the Coyotes need to reach another level, it is hard to imagine where that level may come from – although Radim Vrbata and Ray Whitney, their key offensive players in the regular season – can do more to jump-start the scoring.
"We knew they only lost one game so far, but that's got nothing to do with our team, because I know we can be better," Coyotes centre Martin Hanzal said. "You've got to raise your level every single round. They did it and we didn't. If we don't raise our level, we're going to go home. It's very simple."
Simple to say. Harder to do.
About the only thing the Coyotes have going for them is it's hard to imagine they could be any worse than they were in the opener, and even at that, the teams were tied 2-2 at the end of 40 minutes and Phoenix was in a position to steal one. If bottoming out early proves to be a salvation, if the notion that they couldn't be any worse than they were on opening night provides a galvanizing push, then the Coyotes can get right back in the series, with a victory in Tuesday's second game. If not, this will be over in a hurry.Report Typo/Error

Heavy rocker JEFF HANNEMAN has been forced to pull out of Slayer's upcoming tour after he was hospitalised with a nasty flesh-eating disease.
The thrash metal guitarist is suffering from necrotizing fasciitis, a rare bacterial virus which attacks skin, fat and body tissue.
Reports suggest Hanneman became ill after being bitten by a spider, and he is due to undergo surgery on his right arm in a bid to treat the disease.
In a statement issued to Antimusic.com, Slayer frontman Tom Araya says, "Jeff is our brother, we've all been friends and together as a band for almost 30 years. We just want him to recover as soon as possible."
The rocker's Slayer bandmates have chosen to forge ahead with their tour commitments, and will head out to Australia later this month (Feb11) with a guest guitarist in Hanneman's place.
And lead guitarist Kerry King reveals the sick star is fully behind their decision after Slayer had to axe gigs last year (10) due to Araya's own health issues.
King adds: "After everything that's happened we all agreed that we just can't let our fans down again.
"Jeff is totally on board with the decision, so we will tour as planned. We can't pinpoint what day he'll be back, but it will be as soon as he possibly can. We can't wait for him to get better and get his ass back on the road."

Migrating Twitter API apps from basic authentication to OAuth is up there with hoovering the bathroom and taking out the recycling in the "irritating chores to put off for another day" stakes. However, Twitter's announcement that they're dropping basic authentication support at the end of this month has made this task altogether more urgent, like an unexpected visit from the mother-in-law.
If you're using the Ruby Twitter gem by John Nunemaker, you'll be happy to learn that it supports OAuth. You'll be less happy to see that the example code on the homepage merrily omits the difficult part:
# NOT SHOWN: granting access to twitter on website
# and using request token to generate access token
If your Twitter app is of the simple 'bot' variety, with a single dedicated account where everything happens, and no need for end users to authenticate against it, then most of the example code and documentation floating around the internet is overkill, sending you down the path of sessions and callback URLs, when all you really want to know is: what do I put in the 'register an application' form? How do I get hold of these tokens? And what do I do with this PIN code it's just given me?
I eventually found a blog post at BeefyApps which cleared things up immensely, and so I've now reshuffled their code snippet into a mini command line utility which will spit out those all-important tokens and tell you how to use them.

Houston Texans defensive tackle J.J. Watt is having a break out season. He currently leads the NFL in sacks, but had one removed Elias Sports Bureau earlier this week. After losing the sack, Texans Defensive Coordinator Wade Phillips raised some controversy by questioning New York Giants legend Michael Strahan, his record breaking sack and why that one wasn't removed.
"Why didn't they take away Strahan's when he set record?" Phillips questioned.
Strahan is known for being one of the fiercest pass rushers of all time and holds the NFL record for most sacks in a single season. However, some question the sack that ultimately broke Mark Gastineau record of 22. Some believe that then Green Bay Packers QB Brett Favre laid down in front of Strahan on purpose, essentially gift wrapping the record for him. After all, the two were close friends.
It's clear that Phillips is just standing up for his player, but there was no reason to question Strahan's record in the process. If later in the season it appears Watt has a chance to top Strahan's 22.5 sacks, then the decision by the Elias Sports Bureau to take one away could become a bigger issue but for now the record belongs to the Giants' legend.

text: I saw a news story today about a flight crew that had a man removed from a plane before take-off due to the fact that he was in the back of the plane praying and refused to take his seat until his prayers were finished. While the news story identified the man's religion, I'm not going to mention it here because I don't care what god or gods a man prays to, or doesn't pray to. My point in bringing this up is that I'm sick and tired of the notion that "WE" have to bend and compromise and change the way "WE" do things so that "THEY" can have "THEIR" way. When did it become necessary for the majority to succumb to the wishes of the minority? Again, I'm not singling out any religion, race or ideology. I'm just saying that "When in Rome, do as the Romans." If I go to another country and their custom is to stop everything from 2:07:54 p.m. to 2:13:06 p.m. so that they can feed their cats, pray to their god, wash their cars or whatever, then fine. I can wait until 2:13:07 p.m. to order my lunch, buy my souvenier or cash my travelers check, no matter how silly their custom seems to me. If someone from another culture comes here, or even if they are a citizen here but follow different customs from the majority, then "THEY" can either do as "WE" do or arrange "THEIR" schedules so that "THEIR" customs don't interfere with "OUR" customs. Am I the only one fed up with this PC thinking crap? So come on folks ... agree with me or flame me. I'm pretty fireproof. As I've always said, "If you can't stand the heat, stay the hell out of Hiroshima."

Best Bank Account Interest Rates - Summary for Week Ending March 2, 2014
Fed chairwoman Janet Yellen in the Senate Banking Committee on Thursday said that there is uncertainty about how much of the recent economic weakness is weather related. If the Fed determines that the weather isn't the only factor in the slowdown, the Fed could cut back on the tapering, and that could delay when we see rate hikes. However, Chairwoman Yellen did say that it would take a "significant change in the outlook" for a change to be made to the pace of tapering.
One thing the Fed may have overlooked is that the risks of market chaos has grown as the Fed let the Zero Interest Rate Policy (ZIRP) go on for so long. As the Fed ends ZIRP, the chance of a stock market crash and economic disruption is significant. As described in this WaPo article:
a major paper by a quartet of top economists suggests that confidence in the Fed's ability to taper without causing market chaos may be misplaced.
This could put pressure on the Fed to slow the exit from ZIRP.
Some weak economic reports continue to push down yields. The change in Treasury yields and Fed funds futures in the last week are shown below. The following numbers are based on Daily Treasury Yield Curve Rates and the CME Group FedWatch.
Treasury Yields:
- 1-month: 0.04% up from 0.02% last week
- 6-month: 0.08% same as last week
- 2--year: 0.33% same as last week
- 5--year: 1.51% down from 1.56% last week
- 10-year: 2.66% down from 2.73% last week
- 30-year: 3.59% down from 3.69% last week
Fed funds futures' probability of rate hike by:
- Jan 2015: 15% down from 16% last week
- Apr 2015: 35% same as last week
- Jul 2015: 58% down from 60% last week
- Oct 2015: 81% down from 82% last week
Savings & Checking Account Rates
Three internet banks made rate changes last week.
On the positive side, GE Capital Retail Bank increased its savings account rate from 0.90% to 0.95% APY.
On the negative side, American Express Bank reduced its savings account rate from 0.85% to 0.80%. Also, Nationwide Bank reduced its money market rate from 0.71% to 0.66%.
GE Capital Retail Bank's new savings account rate came close to 1%, but until it reaches 1%, it's not a top rate. The number of institutions offering a non-promo 1% savings or money market account remains at six (I consider Salem's rate a promo for new customers). SFGI Direct is the latest one in this club with its 1.01% APY savings account. Four of those six are First Trade Union Bank savings account, MySavingsDirect savings account, the new iGObanking.com money market account and the SmartyPig savings account. All of these are offering a 1.00% APY. The highest rate continues to be at Connexus Y.E.S. Money Market Account which has a top-tier APY of 1.15% for a $100K minimum balance. An important downside of this account is that it requires an active checking account and direct deposit.
Reward Checking Accounts
The most interesting change last week was at Consumers Credit Union. Its Rewards Checking Account now has two new rate tiers. If you do the typical reward checking requirements, you'll qualify for 3.09% APY for balances up to $10K. This used to be 3.09% APY for balances up to $5K. So that's a nice increase in the balance cap. The interesting aspect is that you can earn 4.09% APY for balances up to $10K for performing the typical reward checking requirements and in addition completing 12 VISA Credit Card purchases. There's no minimum purchase requirement. You can earn 5.09% APY for balances up to $10K by performing the typical reward checking requirements and in addition spending $1K or more in VISA purchases. I doubt the requirement for earning 5.09% will appeal to most reward checking customers. Thus, I'm only listing 4.09% in the table below.
The other change is a disappointment. Redneck Bank and its two sister banks (AmericaNet and Evantage) announced that they will be cutting their Rewards Checking top rate from 2.00% to 1.50% APY. The balance cap remains the same at $10K. The change is scheduled to take effect on March 20.
There continues to be only six banks and credit unions in my table below offering reward checking yields of over 2.00% for balances of at least $15K.

Grandparent scam affecting Humboldt County residents
FORTUNA- Phone scammers are back at it again, this time targeting grandparents. The Fortuna Police Department says they've received several reports of a grandparent scam happening around the county.
The scam involves a caller claiming to be a grandchild. The caller will then say they are in some sort of trouble and ask the grandparent for money. As the call progresses, the scammer will try to get as much personal information as possible, usually resulting in the grandparent getting scammed out of thousands of dollars. Authorities say if you receive a call like this, you should ask the caller detailed questions that only your grandchild or close relatives would know.
"Don't be giving out information," said Sgt. Jason Kadle of the Fortuna Police Department. "If something sounds too good to be true or a family member that normally hasn't called you and hasn't asked for money is all of a sudden calling and asking you for money, you might want to think twice before you start sending money without contacting other family members first and trying to clarify and make sure there isn't something actually wrong."
If you are contacted by one of these scammers, authorities say to report the phone number to your local police department. For more about scams… you can contact the Fortuna Crime Prevention Unit or visit www.bbb.org, www.consumer.ftc.gov, www.fcc.gov or www.fbi.gov.

Is your kid a reluctant learner?
Find out how to get your kid excited about being back at school. more
It might not be the first thing you think of when you sit back to enjoy a cup of tea but you could be giving yourself a dose of medicine and boosing weight-loss. The latest research shows that green tea does wonders for your weight, diet and health - and this antioxidant rich drink may help to prevent cancer and can calm anxiety .
Most tea drinks contain large amounts of polyphenols - substances with antioxidant properties. However green tea is particularly rich in a type of polyphenols called catechins.
When it boils down to health essentials, it's the catechins that may affect our weight and improve diet.
Some scientists believe that catechins trigger a transmitter in the nervous system that helps burn the kilojoules and fat. A study showed 10 healthy men in their twenties, who were given green tea over six weeks, burned more kilojoules than others drinking placebos.
In another test, three groups of people were given green tea, a placebo and a caffeine drink - those drinking green tea used 4% more energy than the others.
Reports also show that drinking green tea in large quantities may encourage the slow release of carbohydrates that maintain the blood insulin that helps to burn fat – showing that green tea may reduce fat cells (webMD.com, 2004).
As powerful antioxidants, the catechins in green tea will get rid of free radicals that attack our healthy cells. Health experts say antioxidants can slow down or halt the oxidizing damage that can cause cancer and heart disease.
Recent studies in Japan have shown it may help colon cancer, other health risks and may even be protective against breast cancer in its early stages.
Other scientific tests suggest that drinking large quantities of green tea can even keep cholesterol levels down as the catechins lower the build up of the baddie cholesterol, LDL.
Boil some water and let it to cool for about 30 seconds to a minute, to ensure that you do not overheat the leaves. Pour over the green tea bag and brew for 1-2 minutes.
The fact that green tea has no milk and sugar means it is a low kilojoule and low fat hot drink for weight loss. If the distinctive taste isn't to your liking, there are a range of blends available in the supermarket, so experiment. Or add a handful of fresh mint while it's steeping.
Don't forget green tea contains caffeine. Caffeine adds to the flavour, and can help us to concentrate, and in moderation is relatively safe. The World Health Organisation recommends 3 mg of caffeine per day, or about 6-7 cups per day, as a sensible upper limit.

IVF Diary: Unpleasant presence
This is the fourth post in my Dear IVF Diary series. If you're just joining me, then I recommend that you start here. You'll find all related entries at the end of this post. Thanks for reading! x
Seven days after the embryo transfer, I was sitting at my desk at work when I got this sensation in my thighs. It was barely noticeable but all too familiar, one that I've always associated with the start of my period. A trip to the bathroom provided some relief when a knicker check was clear.

Dear IVF diary
It has taken me a long time to write this. A really long time.
Before we started down the road of assisted fertility treatment, I had great intentions of documenting our IVF journey*.
Even if I didn't publish it, I was sure that I would definitely write it all down, to have a record of that time to look back on – hopefully with fondness after a successful end – but also as a form of therapy. In the past I have found writing has really helped me to process strong emotions. But not this time. Continue reading Dear IVF diary

The long-range goal of this research is to determine how actin filament dynamics is regulated in the spectrin-actin lattice of the membrane skeleton to create the red blood cell (RBC) with its specialized membrane, unique biconcave shape and deformability properties. Mutations in membrane skeleton components produce human hereditary hemolytic anemias with fragile RBC membranes, due to defective membrane biogenesis and/or weakened interactions in the membrane skeleton, thereby leading to reduced stability in the circulation. The spectrin-actin lattice consists of spectrin tetramers attached to short actin filaments at junctional complexes (JCs), forming the strands and vertices of a quasi-hexagonal lattice. The short RBC actin filaments are capped by tropomodulin-1 (Tmod1) at their pointed ends and 1/2-adducin at their barbed ends, while tropomyosins (TMs) span along the filament length, binding to Tmod1 at the pointed filament end. Despite the importance of RBC actin filaments as structural nodes in the spectrin latice and JC anchorage sites for membrane proteins, the role of actin monomer-polymer dynamics in membrane skeleton structure and stability, or biogenesis during erythroid terminal differentiation is not understood. This proposal focuses on Tmods, a unique family of TM-regulated, actin filament pointed end capping proteins that control actin dynamics and stability, cell morphology and physiology. Absence of Tmod1 in mouse RBCs leads to a mild compensated sphero-elliptocytic anemia with osmotically fragile RBCs, and a disrupted membrane skeleton with mis- regulated actin filament lengths. In contrast, absence of Tmod3 leads to fetal anemia with embryonic lethality at E14.5-15.5 due to impaired definitive erythropoiesis. Unlike Tmod1, which is a strong actin filament pointed end capper, Tmod3 sequesters actin monomers but is a weak filament capper. We hypothesize that Tmod1 regulates actin dynamics to maintain filament lengths and membrane skeleton structure in mature RBCs, while Tmod3 regulates actin monomer pols to control membrane skeleton assembly during erythroid terminal differentiation.
The Specific Aims are: 1) To dissect the molecular and structural basis for Tmod1 and Tmod3 differential regulation of actin dynamics in vitro;2) To define actin dynamics in normal human RBCs, and in wild-type, Tmod1-null and 1/2-adducin-null mouse RBCs, and to screen as yet undiagnosed human hemolytic anemia patients for defects in TMODs;3) To determine the cellular basis for the Tmod3-null mouse fetal liver anemia, and test a requirement for Tmod3 in erythroblasts using bone marrow reconstitution and a RBC- specific conditional knockout for Tmod3;4) To investigate Tmod1 and Tmod3 functions in membrane skeleton assembly during erythroid terminal differentiation from cultured human CD34+ cells isolated from peripheral blood. Our studies of actin dynamics will define a novel control point for membrane skeleton assembly and stability in human and mouse RBCs and their precursors, providing insights into RBC membrane biogenesis and survival in normal contexts and in human hemolytic anemias.
This project will investigate regulation of red blood cell (RBC) actin dynamics by tropomodulin (Tmod) capping of actin filament ends, and how this contributes to RBC formation and physiology in vivo. We will study actin regulation by Tmod proteins, study actin dynamics in normal human RBCs and in mouse hemolytic anemias due to deficiencies of Tmods, screen human hemolytic anemia patients for defects in TMODs, and study how TMODs contribute to formation of human RBCs from their progenitors. These studies will define the importance of actin dynamics in membrane skeleton biogenesis and stability for the first time, leading to better understanding, diagnosis and treatments for human hemolytic anemias.

How we Will Dress in the Future, According to Hollywood
Prepare to buy the hype, boys. The bespoke suit from Cesare Attolini is touted as among the finest in Christendom, and a special visit to their workshop only increases the brand's mystique.
The House of Attolini is currently managed by the family's third generation: two extremely affable brothers named Massimiliano and Giuseppe. The gentlemen are not shy about sharing the role that tradition plays in their success; they are quick to let you know that their grandfather effectively invented the classic "Neapolitan" jacket (with its characteristically high arm holes, soft shoulders, light construction and slim, natural fit) that eventually went on to become emblematic of Italian style. After their father, who still oversees suit design on a daily basis, and whom Massimiliano affectionately refers to as "The Mentor," scaled operations into a proper workshop, it fell upon the ambitious brothers to bring their hand-sewn, absurdly high-quality product to a discerning international clientele.
We visited their workshop to witness their process and discuss what makes their suits so special — "it's all in the shoulder!" — or how there is really only one rule for a man to consider when deciding what to wear: "Non essere fuori luogo" (loosely, "never be outside the circumstances"). When asked what will change in five, ten, or twenty-five years from now, Massimiliano stops, flashes a devious smile, and says "Nothing, nothing, nothing will change. The quality and the tradition of our suits will always be the same."
Here, we offer a glimpse into how they execute that tradition.
The jackets here are ready for the next stage of construction, the collar, which is followed by one of the most intricate steps, attaching the sleeves. When asked if the volume could ever increase one of the workshop managers replies, "We couldn't possibly double-up production — it takes time to achieve quality."

Artificial intelligence will happen, eventually. Machines will have to be able to learn without direct programming and that hasn't happened yet.
Most intelligence I come across is artificial, this does not concern me.

Investing in lives and livelihoods
We aim to reach 1.1 million with safe water
We aim to reach 1.9 million people with sanitation
We're working together in six countries
WaterAid is proud to be a global partner of the HSBC Water Programme.
The HSBC Water Programme brings together expertise from WaterAid, WWF and Earthwatch to help tackle the global water challenge – a challenge that sees 500,000 children die every year from diarrhoea caused by unsafe water and poor sanitation.
Over eight years, this exciting partnership will support WaterAid to reach millions of people with safe water and sanitation across Bangladesh, India, Nepal, Pakistan, Ghana and Nigeria.
Access to safe water and sanitation is vital for building healthy communities and developing economies. With safe water supplies close to home, women and children are able to spend less time collecting, or queuing for water. This extra time and less fatigue from carrying heavy containers over long distances enables children to go to school or play and women to carry out other work, often to earn money.
With access to a safe and private place to go to the toilet people are healthier and quality of life is greatly improved, especially for women and girls.

WASHINGTON, June 25 (Reuters) - The White House on Monday urged U.S. lawmakers to focus on enacting measures to cut federal deficits rather than holding hearings on the effect of $1.2 trillion in automatic spending cuts due to start on Jan. 2.
U.S. House Armed Services Committee Chairman Buck McKeon said in an editorial published by Politico that it was "deeply discouraging" that the president's budget director had refused to testify at a mid-July hearing on the projected impact of the mandatory budget cuts under a process called sequestration.
McKeon called on Democrats and President Barack Obama to "do their part" and offer more than "vague talking points" to avert the mandatory cuts, which could result in the loss of 1 million jobs in 2013 and 2014, according to several reports.
Ken Baer, communications director for the White House Office of Management and Budget, countered the comments by the Republican lawmaker, noting that Congress knew all along that sequestration would hurt both defense and non-defense programs.
"Instead of holding a hearing about how to mitigate the effects of a destructive sequester, right now is the time for Congress to enact bipartisan, balanced deficit reduction legislation that the President can sign into law and avoid the sequestration scheduled to take place on January 2, 2013," Baer said in an emailed statement.
Lockheed Martin Corp, the Pentagon's largest supplier, last week said it could face hundreds of millions of dollars in business claims from suppliers if $500 billion in additional defense spending cuts take effect in January.
Lockheed and other big weapons makers say uncertainty about the cuts, which would come on top of $487 billion in cuts already being implemented, could lead to extensive layoffs, closings of facilities and an erosion of quality.
The National Association of Manufacturers released a new report which said the automatic budget cuts would knock about 1 percent off U.S. gross domestic product by 2014.
Baer said OMB would be prepared if Congress was unable to avert the additional cuts, which would include about $500 billion for defense over the next decade as well as over $600 billion in cuts to healthcare and other government programs.
"While OMB has not yet engaged agencies in planning, our staff is conducting the analysis necessary to move forward if necessary," he said.
The issue is gaining increasing attention in Congress, which makes some lawmakers optimistic that the cuts may be averted.
Three Republican members of the Senate Armed Services Committee, including Senator John McCain, last week called for immediate action to avert sequestration.
McCain, the senior Republican on the committee, told a defense conference hosted by Bloomberg Government on Thursday, that a revenue increase may be possible to avoid the further budget cuts. He said a previous proposal to reduce spending and raise revenue "could serve as a blueprint for further action."
The second round of defense cuts was included in a budget deal last year between Congress and Obama. The cuts were believed to be so extreme they would encourage rival Republicans and Democrats to compromise on alternative ways to reduce the country's trillion-dollar budget deficits.
But that plan failed and lawmakers did not reach a compromise late last year, triggering across-the-board cuts to take effect on Jan. 2. Lockheed and other companies say they will have to start notifying workers about possible job cuts at their plants as early as October.
The Pentagon has requested $525 billion in defense spending for the 2013 fiscal year beginning in October. The request was about $6 billion less than 2012, a drop for the first time after a decade of rising military spending. The budget was the first to reflect the initial round of spending reductions.

THE province will spend $300,000 over two years to support Brandon's composting program, Premier Greg Selinger said in Brandon Friday.
The money will go toward the expansion of Brandon's automated organic waste collection system to 6,000 households.
It's expected to divert an additional 2,600 tonnes of organic waste from the Eastview Landfill every year, extending the estimated life of the landfill by six years to 2048.
More information on Brandon's program is available at www.brandon.ca/departments/operations/sanitation/composting .

TOKOROZAWA, Saitama Pref. — Against the Pacific League leader's gorgeous offensive lineup, a group whose big bats usually score a lot of runs, there was no way the Tokyo Yakult Swallows could've countered with the same force.
But the Swallows were still able to come up with just enough runs to finish the game with more points than their opponents.
Outfielder Kazuki Fukuchi, catcher Atsushi Kinugawa and designated hitter Kazuhiro Hatakeyama stepped up for Yakult, leading the Central League side to a 5-4 victory over the Saitama Seibu Lions in their first interleague game at Seibu Dome on Wednesday.
"We played good today," Swallows manager Shigeru Takada said after the game. "We can't score many at a time, though. But it's meaningless to talk about what we don't have."
Fukuchi, who joined Tokyo Yakult this season as a compensation pick for Kazuhisa Ishii, the game's starter for Seibu, had a remarkable game by going 3-for-5, while Kinugawa went 2-for-3 with two RBIs and Hatakeyama was 1-for-3 with two RBIs.
"I've been fortunately given a chance to play," said Kinugawa, normally a backup catcher behind Masakazu Fukukawa. "So I was going to go aggressively anyway. I'm going to continue to go aggressively from now on as well."
Many in the crowd were paying attention to Ishii, who left the Swallows to join the Lions through free agency before this season.
The slippery southpaw got off to a rocky start, however, as he loaded the bases on the game's first three pitches, giving up two hits and hitting a batter in the top of the first.
Yakult got on the board quickly, scoring two runs on a double by Hatakeyama and an Aaron Guiel sacrifice fly.
Ishii left the mound after five innings, his shortest outing of the season, yielding four runs and eight hits and fanning three.
"I wasn't very bad," said the 35-year-old Ishii, who played for the Swallows for a total of 12 seasons. "But I went too loose at critical occasions and came up with this outcome."
Takada said jokingly : "If we were beaten by Ishii, he was going to say whatever he wanted to. . . .But he's been on a roll this year."
The Lions, meanwhile, gave the Swallows a little hint as to why they have the best record in the NPB with just one long ball before a crowd of 15,683.
Trailing 4-1 in the bottom of the fifth, Craig Brazell literally smacked Daniel Rios' fastball into the right field stands for a no-doubt-about-it three run homer to equal the game at 4-4.
But the Swallows' tenacity was even bigger this day.
In the top of the sixth, Kinugawa drove home Shinya Miyamoto for the go-ahead run.
Tigers defeat Buffs
KOBE (Kyodo) Keiichi Hirano hit a bases-clearing triple and Takahiro Arai followed with a two-run homer as the Hanshin Tigers beat the Orix Buffaloes 7-3 in interleague play on Wednesday.
Orix manager Terry Collins announced his resignation following the game.
Fighters 4, BayStars 3
At Sapporo Dome, pinch-hitter Shinji Takahashi drove in the go-ahead run with a bases-loaded groundout
in a two-run eighth inning as Hokkaido Nippon Ham edged Yokohama to win its third game in a row.
Dragons 3, Eagles 1
At Sendai's Kleenex Stadium, Tyrone Woods homered and veteran lefty Masahiro Yamamoto won his third
straight start, lifting Chunichi over Tohoku Rakuten.
Hawks 9, Carp 4
At Fukuoka's Yahoo Dome, Hiroki Kokubo delivered a tiebreaking single in the seventh inning.
Giants 8, Marines 5
At Chiba Marine Stadium, CL home run leader Alex Ramirez homered twice.

Salt River Project is now receiving renewable energy from the recently completed Cove Fort Geothermal Project in Beaver County, Utah.
In 2012, SRP signed a 20-year agreement with Massachusetts-based Enel Cove Fort, LLC to purchase the output of the 25-megawatt plant. The geothermal power generated by the project will offset enough carbon dioxide emissions each year to equal removing 15,000 cars from the road.
A geothermal power plant produces electricity from naturally occurring heat below Earth's surface. The Cove Fort project will utilize binary cycle technology, allowing access to regions with lower temperature geothermal resources. Geothermal energy is considered renewable energy because no fuel is consumed and the energy is from a naturally occurring source.
"Geothermal energy is an extremely valuable product and it greatly enhances our sustainable portfolio," said John Sullivan, SRP's chief resource planning executive. "It is one of the only renewable-energy technologies that can provide energy for our customers around the clock."
Under SRP's Sustainable Portfolio goals, SRP must meet 20 percent of its retail electricity requirements through sustainable resources by the year 2020. SRP's sustainable portfolio is currently providing more than 10 percent of retail energy needs with sustainable resources such as solar, wind, landfill gas, geothermal, biomass, hydro and energy-efficiency measures.
SRP is the largest provider of electricity to the greater Phoenix area, serving more than 980,000 electric customers.

Patient Comments: Athlete's Foot - Symptoms
How long did the symptoms of your athlete's foot last? Was there anything that helped with symptom relief?

White vinegar worked for me. I put my foot in a plastic bag with the vinegar for about an hour and I have seen a great reduction in my athlete's foot and nail bed fungus. I keep baby powder or corn starch in my socks when I put them on in the morning to keep the moisture under control. Good luck!

I had athlete's foot, and I was unable to get rid of it. I used Vicks Vapo Rub, and I just applied it to my feet every night before bed for about two weeks and it was gone. It was cheap and easy.
Comment from: Andrew, 45-54 Male (Patient) Published: August 17
I have suffered from athlete's foot since age 13. I am not 53 years. Only 2 years back I was able to completely eliminate this problem by taking oral tablet GRISOVIN (griseofulvin 125mg). I used to have watery blisters on the soles of both feet, in between the toes and near the nails and sometimes on my fingers and palms of my hands. I have tried topical creams etc to no avail until a dentist told me about GRISOVIN. I also realized I probably have a contact allergy especially when wearing rubber tongs. All of that is over. What a relief. I only have to take the tablet once a day until all the symptoms have disappeared and continued for 2 weeks before stopping. Hope this info helps. I noticed this particular drug was not listed.
Comment from: Angietigerfan, 45-54 Female (Patient) Published: August 17
My son was in a serious car accident and was in the hospital for 30 days while there I would rub his feet with lotion, he had very mild athletes foot, although I was very careful to wash my hands I got a fungus on the pinkie on my left hand, it then spread to my right hand and now my feet, I have been to several doctors tried all the creams and Lamisil by mouth and antibiotic. I read where tea tree oil was supposed to help, so I went to the healthfood store and they introduced me to "Thursday Plantation anti-fungal treatment for nails." It is a very small bottle, but it does work, I also got tea tree oil and peppermint oil and mixed them together, I use this as lotion for my feet and it is slowly getting better, so only the natural stuff worked for me after many doctors' visits and dollars spent on medication.
Comment from: UK patient, 35-44 Female (Patient) Published: August 12
I have had it three times in six months now. Twice it has become infected, with the infection tracking quickly up my foot and the only thing that sorts it out (apart from antibiotics) is using a footbath of potassium permanganate (called Permitabs) twice a day. It's what they used to use for soldiers who had trench foot! Makes your foot skin a bit brown for a couple of days, but it sucks all the moisture out of the area.
Comment from: sydneymale, 45-54 Male (Patient) Published: August 12
I have fairly severe athletes foot in both feet. I tried all the over the counter medicines without success. I eventually went to the doctor's who prescribed an antifungal tablet, this also failed. I then chose to follow some of the advice I saw on the web. Mainly, daily foot soaks with apple cider vinegar (it relieves the itch wonderfully). Vaseline during the day while wearing work shoes (helps a lot). What has really started to help 7 months down the track is daily washing of the feet with an antifungal soap, drying immediately with a hair dryer and using 20% tea tree oil applied with cotton balls. This has entirely stopped the intense itching I had during the day and at night in bed. My skin is also almost entirely healed of cracks. I hope this is going to be the real solution for me. At least I have stopped the itch which was driving me insane.

10 ways that Trump's new ...

Since 1994, the Green Scissors Campaign has been working with Congress and the administration to end environmentally harmful and wasteful spending. Working to breach party lines, the Green Scissors Campaign has helped cut more the $26 billion in environmental wasteful programs from the federal budget. Our Green Scissors partner for 15 years has been the watchdog organization Taxpayers for Common Sense.
Green Scissors is the flagship program of Friends of the Earth's Earth Budget campaign, which among other objectives, seeks to end environmentally harmful subsidies.
You can go here to visit the campaign website: http://www.greenscissors.com
Green Scissors 2011 builds on last year's report by advancing cuts that could potentially save taxpayers $380 billion or more over five years. The report builds a strong case that the federal government can help protect our natural resources, reduce the growth of government spending, and make a significant dent in the national debt by eliminating harmful spending.
The Green Scissors report finds cuts in energy, agriculture, transportation and land and water and targets include massive giveaways of publicly owned resources such as timber, oil and natural gas and minerals such as gold, poorly conceived road projects and a bevy of questionable Army Corps of Engineers water projects.
Read the report | News release | FAQs
Green Scissors 2010 identifies more than $200 billion in wasteful government subsidies that are damaging to the environment and harmful to consumers. The report targets four major areas for budget cuts: energy, infrastructure, agriculture and biofuels, and public lands. Each section provides an overview, a summary of the spending cuts and a chart of recommended subsidy cuts. Undoubtedly there are more cuts that could and should be made, but this report is a first step to restoring fiscal sanity while also protecting our environment.

Green Fees & Scissors in Texas: 13 Recommendations for Greening the State Budget
This report offers thirteen fiscally sound recommendations that could help Texan leaders ease the budget crisis and potentially free up more funds fo schools and more adequately fund important natural resource programs, while discouraging pollution and natural resource degradation.
The Green Scissors 2004 report focuses on particularly egregious policies and programs that should be addressed immediately. It targets five issues specifically:
This report is the fourth in a series of annual reports that provided recommendations that would improve California's environment and public health while restoring fiscal accountability.
Eleven fiscally sound and environmentally friendly "green budget" policies evaluated in this report could help the State of Maryland ease its budget crisis while discouraging waste and pollution
Green Scissors 2003 outlines 68 recommendations that would do much to protect our natural resources, reduce unnecessary government spending by more than $58 billion, and help guide our nation towards a more sustainable economic and ecological future.

Seneca principal resigns
Oconee School District has released the following statement pertaining to Principal Idasa Cobb: "The principal at Blue Ridge Elementary School was placed on administrative leave, with pay, earlier this week. The principal has submitted her resignation to the School District of Oconee County, and there is a pending investigation by law enforcement. The principal has been charged with failure of certain persons required to report child abuse or neglect. The allegations of child abuse do not involve a District employee and they are not alleged to have occurred at school. The District is fully cooperating with law enforcement in its investigation and cannot comment further given the ongoing investigation and confidential student issues involved. Kathy Eichler,, who previously served as principal of Blue Ridge and Code elementary schools, will serve as Interim Principal for the time being." Seneca Police Major Jeremy Rothell says a warrant, issued by City Judge Danny Singleton and signed by school resource officer Casey Bowling, was obtained yesterday. Cobb, 41, was booked at the Oconee Detention Center yesterday afternoon. Rothell says the police will make a further statement about the case today.

Supreme Court to Hear Exxon Appeal
Company lost 2003 $1.3 billion judgment for overcharging service-station dealers.
WASHINGTON -- The U.S. Supreme Court has agreed to hear part of ExxonMobil Corp.'s appeal of a $1.3 billion judgment against the company for overcharging service-station dealers, according to several news reports.
The decision Tuesday stems from a 2001 trial, in which a federal jury in Miami decided Exxon broke its promise to give gas station owners discounts that it promised in exchange for imposing a new fee on credit card purchases.
The suit was brought on behalf of 10,000 gas station owners in 34 states and Washington, D.C. In June 2003, the 11th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals affirmed the verdict in favor of the station dealers. The court upheld the judgment in March.
According to a statement Tuesday from the plaintiffs' attorneys, the Supreme Court will only review whether the trial court had jurisdiction over individual claims worth less than $50,000 at the time the case was filed in 1991.
ExxonMobil did not immediately return calls for comment Wednesday.

JOHANNESBURG (Jul. 19)
Possibility of a pan-African and Anglo-South African conference to consider the menace of intensified Nazi activities in south west Africa is being discussed by prominent south African leaders, it is learned here.
The planned "Armed Census" and recent disclosures of Nazi activities have focussed attention on the danger to the security of the Union of South Africa resulting from Nazi activities in the mandated south west territory. It is understood that members of the South African United Party plan to raise the question in party caucus and in the House when it meets late this month.
The expose of Nazi activities in South West Africa has been followed by numerous press demands for strong action and an appeal to the Dutch reformed church, issued "in the name of many thousands of god fearing Afrikaners," protesting against persecution of Jews and urging a fight against the Nazi menace.
The Cape Times declares editorially that the Union Government cannot for a moment admit the German claim of dual allegiance. The Johannesburg Star advocates legislation forbidding propagation of foreign ideologies, movements against racial and religious sections of the community and quasi-military organizations. The Windhoek advertiser warns that unless immediate action is taken a German minority problem similar to Czechoslovakia's may arise. The Sunday Times quotes a prominent South West African leader as stating that the Government is reluctant to curb Nazi activities, not wishing to antagonize Germany "for trade reasons."

October 26, 2010, Long Beach, CA. The Aquarium of the Pacific is pleased to announce the winners of its Urban Ocean Poetry Contest that was open to local high school students.
First place was Megan Foo for her poem Coexist:
Just as buildings rise up from the land
Kelp shoots up from the ocean floor
Fish swim and move about it as people move about the high-rise buildings
Coral reefs are the metropolises of the ocean- cities underwater
Whales swim alongside cargo ships- whales of a different sort
Is our ocean a completely separate world?
One of a deep blue abyss?
Or is it merely and extension of our own dry world?
As the cities of the deep come to merge with our own
We see not a separate world
But one that we've learned to protect
One not so different from our own
An under water urban parallel
With which we coexist
Second place was Anna Leon for her poem Use, Don't Abuse:
Use, Don't Abuse
My bare feet touch the cold salt water A ship arrives at the dock and unloads Crabs gather in tide pools.
They have relatives in the Gulf, the crabs They sense something not well, something not right "Mom, how come we don't eat shrimp anymore?"
Somewhere a loud horn sounds "Let's get this shipment filled boys… Got two kids to put through college."
Crystal clear ocean for uncountable millennia Now waves roll up, their contents unattractive Green initiatives needed for rescue Before just a swampy landfill remains.
The cool breeze whips my hair around my face
Salty air rests on my lips
My bare feet touch the cold salt water.
Third place was Kelly Annala for her poem The Urban Ocean:
The Urban Ocean
Whales swimming with cargo ships, Jet Ski's frolicking with the dolphins, starfish practically suctioned to our shoreline buildings; we have built a very thin line between our water and land. The everyday contact between us and the creatures of the sea seems so harmless. But what makes it alright for us to invade their home? We enforce the "dos and don'ts" to keeping the ocean safe for animals: DO be friendly to the ocean and its creatures, DO recycle our trash, DON'T pollute the ocean, DON'T harm the animals, ect. But some people believe rules are meant to be broken. So does the sea and land really mix without tension? Is it really okay for the ecosystem of the ocean to combine and intertwine with non oceanic beings? There would be real issues if swordfish were swimming through our streets and sharks were constantly eating our food. So we should ask ourselves again, what makes it alright for us to invade their home?
Thank you to all the contestants, and congratulations to all the winners.
