Team GB Olympic sailor Kate Macgregor has pledged to take part in Bournemouth Hospital Charity's Twilight Walk for Women on Friday, June 6.
Participants can stroll 1km, 5km or 10km. Registration forms can be picked up from the charity office in the hospital entrance or bournem outhhospitalcharity.org.uk.
The talented sportswoman was the youngest member of Team GB's sailing squad when she lined up alongside sister Lucy Macgregor and Annie Lush in the women's match racing class at the 2012 Games.
One of the medal favourites going into the Games, the Poole trio finished seventh in Weymouth after their exit at the quarter-final stage a year previously.
Kate returned to Southampton Solent University to complete her business management degree following London 2012.
And last year, having gone back to school to finish her studies, she threw herself into learning a new sailing discipline after match racing was dropped from the Olympic schedule.


text: How to Decide Between an Online and On-Campus MBA Posted November 28, 2012 by AIU in Business Degrees Tags: Business Degrees Life is full of choices. No matter what the topic of discussion is, there are always going to be different choices to make along the way with different outcomes as a result. The same is true of educational choices. In the 21st century students attending college, from undergraduates to doctoral candidates, have the option of attending full-time on-campus programs or online programs. Deciding between the two can be difficult. Not everyone is familiar with the facets of each choice and who might benefit more from these programs. This applies to business professionals looking to enhance their education and improve their career prospects by earning a Master of Business Administration (MBA). One of the most popular degrees among business professionals, MBA programs have adjusted to the 21st century much like any other degree program. According to Monster.com, Master's students now have more choices than ever when it comes to earning an MBA. Among the most popular choices are the online MBA and the on-campus MBA. Each program comes with positives and negatives, and the outcome for each student will vary based upon the individual and the style of program they choose. Monster.com also highlights the following features of the typical online and on-campus MBA program: Online MBA: Considered the most flexible option of MBA students, an online MBA can be catered to the available free time and timeline available for each individual student. Coursework, reading guides, and assignments are administered over the web and completion can take as little as 18 months or as much as three years. On-campus MBA: Traditional MBA programs are offered on-campus at a post-secondary institution and usually take two years to complete. Students attend class on a daily basis and interact face-to-face with professors and other students/business professionals while pursuing their MBA. Online MBA Downside While the features largely highlight the positives of these two differing paths to an MBA, they ignore the downsides of each. Online programs don't come with much of drawback in terms of educational value. Bloomberg BusinessWeek pointed out in July 2012 that online MBA programs are losing much of the stigma they once held in the minds of employers. BusinessWeek, citing a study from the Online Journal of Distance Learning Administration, found that half of the hiring managers surveyed no longer took into account the format a degree was earned in when seeking to hire or promote an employee. However, there are factors that the online MBA may never overcome. U.S. News notes that while an online MBA may be right for those who choose not to, or cannot afford to, leave their full-time job to return to school, these programs remain best suited for individuals who are highly self-motivated to complete tasks. Additionally, it was noted that online programs are best for those looking to remain in the same field of business, perhaps even with the same company. On-campus MBA Downside Just because the online MBA has some drawbacks doesn't mean the traditional route is automatically the best choice as it too comes with drawbacks for the student. Since traditional programs are two-years of full-time study, individuals may have no choice but to leave their current career field in order to complete their studies. This makes for a tough choice for many individuals as the traditional program is the most expensive MBA option, yet asks individuals to leave their financial stability and paycheck behind to attend school. Both programs come with a great deal of merit to their credit. The online MBA offers a flexible, sometimes faster track, for some students with a smaller price tag but sacrifices face-to-face interaction and the potential for networking that exists in traditional programs. A traditional MBA meanwhile, not only offers that networking potential, but according to U.S. News it remains the gold standard in the mind of some employers. The choice between an online or on-campus MBA inevitably comes down to the individual. Each business professional must choose the program that is best suited for them and their career aspirations in order to get the most out of their MBA in the future.

The Panama Straw hats have always been manufactured in Ecuador. They are hand made using the best golden toquilla.
Hand Made Panama Hats
This is Ecuador's most famous export and this natty piece of head wear with an identity crisis has been woven in the southern sierra (highlands) and on the coast of this country for more than a century.

The confusion over the origin dates back to the sixteen century, after the Spaniards took possession of the Isthmus of Panama, they heard about the richness of the South.
It is then that they decided to expand their conquest. Francisco Pizarro and Diego de Almagro reached the lands of present-day Ecuador in 1526, and in 1534 they founded the Royal Audience of Quito.
Later on, these Panama hats were sent abroad through the Panama Channel, thus receiving this name. However, they were originated on the Ecuadorian coast, specifically in the small town of "Montecristi" in the province of Manabi.
Archaeological discoveries of ceramic figurines wearing strange hats have been made on the Ecuadorian coasts.
Legend tells that the Spaniards discovered a strange headgear that some of the South American natives wore, and they thought that this translucent material was vampire skin.
In the mid-19th century gold seekers from the east coast of the US heading for the California gold rush picked up the Panama straw hats on their way out west.
Fifty years later, workers on the Panama Canal found them as ideal protection against the tropical sun and, like the forty-niners before them, named them after the point of purchases rather than their place of origin. And the name stuck.
Also you can find these wonderful hats in the colonial City of Cuenca these are Panama straw hats of the highest quality.
The genuine article should hold water as surely as a glass and, when rolled up, should be slim enough to pass through a wedding ring.

The process begins with nature as everything in its last instance, in golden toquilla plantations. Then the straw is cooked in big bowls.
Afterwards, artisans work to fabricate the fiber, and finally, fine weavers braid the hats, purses and baskets that are not necessarily expensive, yet valuable for their usage and artistic origin.
To measure the quality of Panama hats, you must observe the fineness of the weave and the number of rows on the hat's crown.
Depending on how fine the Ecuador hat is, the price can vary from about $10 dollars to approximately $3,000 dollars!.
Some exported hats are sold abroad at even more expensive prices, since most foreigners value handcrafts more than Ecuadorians.
Read the following review written by Brent Black, journalist writer:
It is unimaginable to me that this hat was crafted by human hands.
With my reading glasses on, placed under a strong light, I admire row after row the tiny, even, overlapping threads of straw.
The color is that of old, well carved ivory. Hold it to the light and it glows, seemingly translucent.
"Panama straw hats are truly a work of art".
Next time you visit Ecuador, purchase one of these quality handcrafted hats as a valuable souvenir from this country.

Here's a postgame update from Kevin:
The Mets beat the Rockies tonight, 6-1, at Shea Stadium behind 7 2/3 quality innings from John Maine and home runs from Jose Valentin and Carlos Delgado.
Some interesting tidbits and a little of my own perspective on the game:
 First, it's worth mentioning that Moises Alou went 3 for 3 with two doubles and two runs scored. It was his seventh muti-hit game in the last eight contests.
Now, I've followed Alou's career back from when he was with the Expos. But I never realized what an outstanding hitter he really was. He can hit in any situation, any count and on any pitch. He drives the ball when he gets fooled, goes to all fields and still has quick hands, even at his age.
When the Mets signed Alou in the offseason, I felt they were wasting their time and were just delaying the inevitable arrival of Lastings Milledge. And, though spring training, I thought I was right. But Alou has been outstanding, especially of late. Of course, he's a swift wind away from an injury and is a liability in the outfield. But he looks like a great signing at this point.
 Jose Reyes stole two bases, something he's now done 29 times in his career. Even on a night when he didn't swing the bat that well, Reyes still found a way to contribute. Sounds like an MVP to me.
 Carlos Delgado hit his first homer of the season, a two-run blast in the seventh. He hadn't homered in 117 at-bats dating back to last season, the longest such streak of his career.
 As much as people believe it, Jose Valentin isn't going to play his way off the roster. For whatever reason, so many people I talk to don't like Valentin and are obsessed with acquiring some young, flashy second baseman to replace him. I'll take Valentin any day, especially with how he's hit of late.
Valentin has rebounded from a slow start (.167 in first nine games) and is 11 for 27 (.407) with nine RBI over his last seven games. It reminds me a lot of Valentin's start last year. He was horrible in April before breaking out and securing an everyday job.
He's one of the smartest players on the team and has such an unselfish personality. He doesn't need to be the center of attention. He's just a solid, underrated No. 8 hitter on the best team in the National League.
 John Maine went 7 2/3 innings tonight and has now gone at least 7 innings in three of his four starters. Compare that to last year when Maine only pitched past the sixth inning in 6 of his 15 starts. That's a remarkable turnaround.
Maine has made a concerted effort to be more efficient with his pitches, something he's been working on since last year. The Mets have a great bullpen (save for the last two Sundays) and they could afford it if Maine was the six-inning pitcher I believed he was. But with this staff, they need somebody to go deep into games and Maine has taken on that challenge.
 David Wright is hitless in his last 15 at-bats with 8 strikeouts. He doesn't seem too concerned, nor does anyone around the team. It's not a big deal. He said he's swinging at bad pitches and letting good ones go. "Not a good combination." Wright will break out in the next few days and we'll all be laughing about it.
 Finally, I was walking out of the Mets locker room tonight and noticed Aaron Heilman standing near the door with a perplexed look.
"Are you serious with this guy?" Heilman asked. I assumed he was grilling us because we waited around for 20 minutes to talk to Wright about his slump.
"Who?" we asked.
"A-Rod," Heilman responded. "He hit two more tonight."
Heilman's face was priceless. It's amazing to me that even fellow Major Leaguers can be in awe of eachother. That's what hitting 14 homers in less than a month will do. As much as you Mets fans might despise the guy, you've got to respect the start A-Rod is off to.
Respect it… and laugh at the Yankees' 8-10 record at the same time.

Chocolate craving, period link debunked
Published 4:57 pm, Tuesday, October 9, 2012
Myth: Women's craving for chocolate is related to their menstrual cycle.
Fact: Many women would like to credit "that time of the month" for their insatiable desire to eat brownies, but University of Pennsylvania researchers say they may need to come up with another excuse. Chocolate cravings in women who had reached menopause were nearly as common as they were in menstruating women - and they were even common in men.
Chocolate is reported to be the most craved food in the United States, and 90 percent of women and 60 percent of men say they've craved it at some point, according to another study out of Cornell University in 2006. (Source: bit.ly/nZU8Oj)
Latest news videos
But back to the 2009 study at Penn, where researchers theorized that if chocolate cravings were linked to the menstrual cycle, the cravings would significantly decrease after women reached menopause. Cravings decreased some, but not nearly as much as the researchers thought they would. (Source: 1.usa.gov/AHlc2)
They surveyed 280 women aged 45-80, about one-third of whom were still menstruating. Of those who were past menopause, 77 percent reported craving chocolate compared with 90 percent of women who were menstruating.
About half of the premenopausal women told researchers that they thought their chocolate cravings were tied to the onset of their monthly periods, but fewer than 10 percent of the postmenopausal women said they thought those cravings had ever been linked to menstruation.
So, what are some other explanations for chocolate cravings?
Besides the fact that most people think it tastes good, studies indicate that chocolate - particularly dark chocolate - boosts serotonin and endorphin levels in the brain. Endorphins, which are also released during exercise and sex, can decrease pain and elevate a person's mood. Serotonin promotes relaxation and also has mood-brightening effects - it's found in many antidepressants.

As the world's sole remaining superpower, tragedy and terror in the states tend to create a kind of rubberneck effect around the globe. Much in the way St. Jerome sobbed over the sacking of Rome, the world tends to slow down, rightly or wrongly, when bad things happen to the United States.
Geography, as Aaron David Miller explains, plays a role as well. Americans have a somewhat schizophrenic view of the world, formed in part by their relative geographic isolation. The U.S. controls its hemisphere and is bordered by typically friendly and — if you'll permit me to gloss over the U.S. immigration debate — malleable allies…
So if Americans, as Zakaria suggests, seem entitled to a kind of utopian peace — and free from the chaos and death witnessed daily around the globe — that's because the bomb blasts in Boston snapped Americans awake — if only momentarily, in the grand scheme — from a security most of them believe themselves to be entitled to. It's a "near-perfect security" most feel they paid for with blood on soil both foreign and domestic.
But nothing is perfect, and Americans appear to be waking up to the world in which they now reside. If the 9/11 attacks taught the country to fear the many organized Jihadists from far off places, last week's carnage has taught Americans to fear the few in their own backyards. Indeed, a Pew Research Center survey released this week indicates that Americans now expect occasional acts of terrorism to be a part of life in America moving forward.

Tunisian Honeycomb Hat
This pattern is available for free.
Tunisian crochet pattern, using an afghan hook…
The worsted weight yarn I used is actually a bit on the thicker side. You may need to increase the initial chain amount when using thinner weight yarn. I wouldn't recommend increasing the hook size though, because you really don't want the hat to be too hole-y.
Happy Hooking!

Former Hephzibah basketball star Le'Coe Willingham just completed her 10th WNBA season. As a member of the Atlanta Dream, Willingham saw her team get swept in the WNBA finals by the Minnesota Lynx.
Willingham, 32, played at Auburn and joined the WNBA in 2004. The forward has played for Connecticut, Phoenix, Seattle and Chicago.
Q: You have been successful at all levels of basketball. What are the biggest differences you have found in what it takes to win consistently at the different levels?
A: There's always hard work and a spirit of never giving up. It takes a lot to be a champion. It takes a team with one goal, and you have to work at it every single day. There's no time off. But of course there's a difference now at this level. When you're younger there are a lot of kids playing, and you find that you're much more athletic than most of them. But here the talent is the best in the world so you have to bring your best every single night. You have to stay in the best condition you can be in.
Q: When you left Hephzibah in the late 1990s, the WNBA was still a new phenomenon. What were your impressions of the league then, and how do you feel about it now?
A: I was a big fan when the league first started. I remember an article back then in The Augusta Chronicle where they came and talked to us at a summer league about the WNBA. It was always a dream, and to be here 10 years is special to me. I have a lot of faith in this league. We all want it to continue grow and be prosperous.
Q: As a professional athlete, do you feel a personal responsibility to serve as a role model for young girls?
A: Of course. Someone is always watching you. And that goes for not just athletes. Children are watching grown-ups during everything we do. You never know, the smallest thing can have an impact on a child. So yes, I feel a responsibility to be a great role model, especially since I have a son, also.
Q: What was your most memorable game played in the WNBA?
A: My first championship. Game 5, 2009, at Phoenix against Indiana to win the WNBA championship.
Q: What would you like to pursue in life once your playing days are over?
A: I definitely want to get into coaching. I have a passion for basketball. I'm a basketball brat. I love it, I study it, so I really want to go into coaching to stay in this sport.

Thanks Matthias, That certainly is a different approach than defmacro! But it does seem to get me most of the way there and I think I could get the rest of the way (and maybe understand and appreciate more of what I've been reading in the Macros section of the reference) if I could see how to modify your example so that it evaluated its first argument, as in: (define partial-name "yours") (def partial-name x (sqrt x)) (my-yours 4) => 2 BTW this isn't for prefixing or suffixing per se -- it's for a version of a stack based language in which there are a bunch of types, a bunch of instructions that work the same way on all types but with different names and accessing different stacks, and I want to generate functions by looping over the two lists and executing a definition for each type/ instruction pair. (These aren't PLT types, they're types in my language -- http://hampshire.edu/lspector/push.html -- and I'm not interested at the moment in doing this in any way that depends on PLT types... I just want to be able to generate and execute definitions with computed names and bodies, which is something I often find handy in CL.)

MAX 2011 concluded a few days ago, and as expected there was a lot of excitement. In this post I'm putting together some recordings that I found really interesting.
I'm still working my way through all the recordings available, so I'll update this post. Below are some sessions that were nice.
Sneak Peek to Liquid Layouts
In this short video, Kiyomassa Toma gives you a sneak peek of a potential feature in InDesign to create high quality magazines that automatically re-layout across devices and screen orientation. Totally awesome stuff. A must watch for designers working on challenges for designing for an ever changing array of devices and screen sizes.
There were some other sessions, slightly longer, but as engaging.
I'm still working my way through all the recordings available, so I'll update this post. Meanwhile, if you want go on ahead to Adobe TV and post links here.
Beautiful Typography | A crash course
In this session, Michael Ninness shows you ten practical tips for achieving consistently beautiful typography.
InDesign CS5.5 Power Shortcuts
Michael Ninness shows you how to get more done in less time by keeping your hands on the keyboard as much as possible.
Creating EBooks for distribution on digital devices
Colin Fleming gives step-by-step instructions on how to take your content from creation to publication to distribution on the Sony Reader, Kindle, and iPad.
Do serifs, sans serifs, glyphs, ligatures, leading, tracking, kerning make any sense to you? If you're also as confused as I am, you just reached the right place. I have attempted to condense some of the information relating to Typography into a single page document, that can be used as a ready-reckoner for newbie Typographers. I am posting version 1.0 of this project on my blog.
The PDF file is here.
What's even better is that I've even mapped these terms to the features in Adobe Illustrator, so that you can apply this information right away!
Take a print, Save the PDF, Share it with your friends. Feel free to use it whichever way you want. If this really helps you, share your experience with us.
Can you help me make this better. Let me know how. Post a comment.

This article is about a part of Guild Wars that has been removed from the game in the Game_updates/20070525.
Please see the history of this article for further information.
In the May 25th, 2007 game update, all references to Light damage were changed to Holy damage, effectively removing Light damage from the game.
- Light damage was a damage type that could be found on Monk wands and staves linked to Smiting Prayers and Healing Prayers.
- Light damage did not ignore armor, but nothing protected specifically against Light damage.
- Light damage was neither Physical nor Elemental damage.
- Light damage used to deal double damage to undead creatures, such as minions.
- The necromancer's Tormentor's insignia used to take additional damage from Light damage.
- There were never any skills that caused Light damage. Some Monk and Dervish skills cause Holy damage, which is functionally the same.

Reviews for Anadama Bread
Average Rating
Reviewed Apr. 28, 2010
"This is wonderful bread! I had not tried it but took a chance and made it for a luncheon for my art class. They loved it and I was thrilled... Tastes great, looks good and is easy to make. My only problem was in getting it to rise; I wound up heating some water, putting a cake rack on the pan, then put the bowl of bread on the rack and covered it with a towel. Very good results."

Cameron Diaz Pictures at Jude Law's London Play
Cameron Diaz Reunites With Her Old Pal Jude Law in London
Cameron Diaz flashed a smile last night when she headed out to see a production of Jude Law's Anna Christie at the Donmar Warehouse. Jude and Cameron have been good friends ever since they starred together in 2007's The Holiday, and they meet up frequently when they're in the same place. There were even rumors that Cameron and Jude were dating back in 2009. It seems they're just close pals, though, and Gwyneth Paltrow is another member of their actor circle. Cameron, Jude, and Gwyneth hung out at the 2011 Vanity Fair Oscars party, and the ladies were together earlier this week to reopen the London Arts Club with Prince Philip. Cameron's abroad just a few weeks after news of her split from Alex Rodriguez became public. Alex hasn't been faring too well in the aftermath of their split. His baseball team, the Yankees, lost a game last night that meant the end of their season, and some are speculating that Alex's mistakes may have cost them the win.

A Slovenian ballet production is touring in Israel and the Netherlands the upcoming month. The dance project features Radiohead's music and is entitled 'Radio & Juliet'
The SNG Maribor production has the following on their website:
"After the successful Tango and Lacrimas, Radio and Juliet, the whole evening dance project of Edward Clug will enjoy us. It was created by the connection of the famous British music group Radiohead (which is one of he most controversial and avant-garde music groups of the last ten years) and the movement (Juliet).
The mentioned music is the sonorous reflection of our time, their text is the reflection of the problematic world in which we live and it is at the same time an important massage for all who are closing their eyes before the truth.
How to find the essence of the man and the woman of today and how to express their desire with the dance is the challenge that Clug and his dancers will be faced with." [thanks Gon]
