London - When she answered the unexpected knock on her front door, Tammy Butler knew immediately that her cosy Easter weekend with her family was about to be ruined. On the doorstep stood Tom, her elderly father-in-law, clutching a bag full of chocolate eggs for his adored grandchildren.
Behind Tammy a furious scream rang out from the stairs. "How can you let that man into your house?" demanded her mother-in-law, Mary. "Have you no loyalty?"
"I was so embarrassed," recalls Tammy. "What could I do? I quietly apologised and said Tom would have to leave.
"I couldn't even invite him in for just a cup of tea, even though he's 72 and had driven half an hour to see us."
Twenty years after her in-laws' messy and bitter divorce, Tammy, 35 - a print company manager who lives in Chesterfield, Derbyshire - and her husband Paul, 32, who works in hotel management, are still struggling with the fallout.
If anything the challenges have become worse as Paul's parents have grown older. The continuing bad feeling between Tom and his ex-wife Mary, 78, impacts on the whole family, including their grandchildren, Alexander, eight, and Savannah, 15.
So bad is the animosity that many family events have been spoiled by it.
Like the growing numbers of other adult children in the same situation, Tammy and Paul have found that the passing of time does not heal the emotional wounds.
In fact it makes the issue of divided loyalties ever more acute, not least because of the increasing loneliness and frailty of their parents.
Much has been written about the trauma that people of any age feel when their parents decide to split. But little thought has been given to the fact that problems caused by broken marriages can actually deepen with time.
And if you throw much-loved grandchildren into the equation, then all-out war can ensue.
This phenomenon is sadly increasing - with the latest figures from the Office for National Statistics showing that divorce rates are rising fastest among the over-60s.
Charlotte Friedman, founder of the Divorce Support Group explains: "Where previous generations would say 'make your bed and lie in it', people now feel entitled to have their needs met, and that's why they are walking away from long marriages."
Katharine Hill, a family-law solicitor who works for the charity Care for the Family, says: "The practical implications of parents divorcing are more obvious when you're younger - who you'll live with, where you'll go to school, where you'll spend your holidays and so on.
"But for adults it can be just as hard emotionally. Any divorce causes a ripple effect of anger, hurt and guilt. Those emotions don't die - they are buried alive and resurface again and again over time.
"The pain of divorce lasts a lifetime."
Charlotte couldn't agree more. She has had contact with thousands of families, as a family-law barrister then a deputy district judge and now a therapist and mediator.
"We have people in our support groups in their 60s going through divorce, and they would love to see more of their grandchildren,' she says.
"They feel aggrieved and find it difficult if their grandchildren are with their ex rather than them.
"And when you divorce, all that you have taken for granted about what will happen in later life is taken away.
"The adult child can feel incredibly guilty, too - about which parent to take on holiday, for example."
And it takes its toll on grandchildren as well, she says, as they quickly learn that certain subjects are taboo and they must not talk to Grandad about what they have done with Granny, for example.
That is certainly Tammy and Paul's experience, as their children 'walk on eggshells' around both grandparents.
"The children have to be aware of what they can and can't say," says Tammy, who worries that her young son is witnessing too much conflict between the adults he loves.
"And because I had to send Tom away after his kind visit with the Easter eggs, he rang me to say he is now seriously depressed due to the fact we chose to spend Easter with my mother-in-law and not him - and so it goes on," she says. "It is a constant juggling act, and affects so much of our family life. I have to think before every holiday, every birthday, every family event - how will I cope with the two of them? How do I invite one and not the other?
"Since the divorce they have both lived alone, and the truth is that they are both sad and lonely."
The loneliness of divorced elderly people has been highlighted in studies by several influential think-tanks.
The Centre for Social Justice reports that divorce and separation are increasing causes of isolation among older people.
The Institute for Public Policy Research has revealed the destructive effects of divorce on those now reaching old age - with almost one in five divorced or separated people suffering mental health problems.
As divorced parents age, there is none of the mutual care there would have been if marriages had survived, and the burden of looking out for the divorcees falls instead on their children.
For Hannah Ganley, that burden fell on her shoulders when she was just 13. When her parents divorced, she became the main carer for her mother Kerry, who has thalassemia, a rare blood disorder.
Hannah is now 31 with a young family of her own - Gracie-Jane, six, Billy-Joe, four, and newborn Junior, but her responsibility for her own mother grows by the year.
Her mom, now 52, lives next door in Borehamwood, Herts, and has to have a blood transfusion every six weeks, She then gradually weakens as the effect of the transfusion wears off.
Hannah does everything for her - including all her cooking, washing and cleaning - and takes her to visit her mom Whillemena, who is 82, widowed, has Alzheimer's disease and lives in a home.
While Hannah's life as a young carer was difficult, she finds coping with the conflicting demands of caring for her young children, her mother and grandmother much more stressful.
"Things are only getting harder as Mom gets older," she says. "If she was still married then Dad and I could have shared the load but, as it is, I am almost solely responsible for her.
"I don't really see my dad any more. He is an estate agent and is remarried and lives in Devon. Maybe twice a year we speak on the phone but because I spend so much time looking after my mother, it's a bit of a sore subject.
"I have a brother but he works full-time, and can't look after her.
"I even had to leave hospital after just one day when Junior was born because I had to get home to care for Mom. There is literally no one else who can help.
"I love her dearly, but it's a lot of pressure. I would love to return to work when the children are older - I used to work as a legal secretary - but there's no way I could manage that and cope with them and look after my mom and my grandmother."
Lisa Graham, from Woking, Surrey, also carries the main burden of care for her mother, who lives in Eastbourne. "My parents divorced ten years ago, when I was 44," Lisa says.
"My mother found out my father was having an affair. He was in his mid-60s and still working - he had his own business. He always says he would never have left Mom, but the affair had been going on for years and she felt she couldn't forgive - that their whole life had been built on a lie.
"I remember two separate phone calls, one from Mom and one from Dad, on a Friday night.
"I had been going to see them that weekend, looking forward to a meal out together and instead I found myself supporting Mom, who was devastated. It has been like that ever since."
Just five years after the divorce, Lisa's mother - who lives alone - became ill with multiple sclerosis.
Her deterioration has been rapid. Now 75, she uses a walking frame inside and a wheelchair outside. Lisa, who works full-time, has taken on the main caring role, arranging support for her mother from a distance and travelling 50 miles to see her several times a week.
Lisa's father, by contrast, is in good health and has set up home with his long-time lover, enjoying expensive holidays and meals out.
"He has even said to me that he doesn't know how he'd would have coped if he'd stayed with Mom, because his life would be so restricted. I can't help but feel he's shrugged off what should be his responsibility," she says.
"I try not to be angry but it's all fallen on me and it's really hard. My sister does help but not so much because she has a young family."
Lisa adds: "Finding live-in help for Mom was a big problem because she didn't take to some of the people we tried.
"We have to do lots of things my father would have done, like organising all her finances, paying the bills, and so on.
"My mom is very bitter and lonely and who can blame her for that? I feel so sorry for her and I worry all the time."
Although Lisa's mother was left financially comfortable following her divorce, others are not so fortunate, forcing grown-up children to help meet bills.
Emily Holzhausen from Carers UK says: "For divorced people, there is no pooling of resources to meet the demands of old age - no economies of scale."
Sarah Timpson, 49, who is a divorcee herself, lives with her children Josh, 16, and Chloe, 19, plus her divorced mother Beryl, 74 - who, she says, was left much worse off financially after her split.
Sarah, from Redhill, Surrey, who works part-time as a head-hunter, says: "The ripples of divorce spread very wide in a family."
Her mother is in the early stages of dementia - and Sarah believes the strain of looking after her for the past five years contributed to the break-up of her own marriage. "My husband found living with her intolerable because she is so demanding, but she has no one else.
"I am an only child and I couldn't bear to see her parked in a home for people with dementia. She's such a proud woman and still capable of holding a conversation."
Sarah's parents divorced when she was 15 and she and her mother had to move from their big house with a garden to a small flat. Sarah was taken out of private education.
Her father is now dead, and although her mother's flat has been sold, Sarah has set the proceeds aside to pay for the residential care her mother will probably need in time.
Then there will be nothing left.
The former marital home is worth close on £1 million now. Sarah says: "I am by no means comfortably off and I worry about money a lot.
"I love Mom to bits but, if I am honest, I dread what lies ahead with her becoming increasingly reliant on me.
"In many ways, my parents' divorce took away all of our futures."
Relate counsellor Christine Northam says a crystal ball would be very useful for couples as they contemplate divorce.
"I think if people were to stop and consider more carefully the implications of divorce over a lifetime, they might ask themselves: 'Can we get this relationship back on track?'
"They could be asking is there anything in the marriage they could rekindle and cling on to make it better for them both. If they did they might not divorce.
"Life after divorce is more complicated than we ever imagine." - Daily Mail

Book: Ginkgo: The Tree That Time Forgot
YaleNews features works recently or soon to be published by members of the University community. Descriptions are based on material provided by the publishers. Authors of new books may forward publishers' book descriptions to us by email.
Ginkgo: The Tree That Time Forgot
Peter Crane, the Carl W. Knobloch Jr. Dean of the School of Forestry & Environmental Studies and professor of botany
(Yale University Press)
The ginkgo tree has remained unchanged for more than two hundred million years. Today ginkgo is prized for the elegance of its leaves, for its edible nuts, and for its longevity.
Inspired by the historic ginkgo that has thrived in London's Kew Gardens since the 1760s, renowned botanist Peter Crane explores the history of the ginkgo from its mysterious origin through its proliferation, drastic decline, and ultimate resurgence. Crane also highlights the cultural and social significance of the ginkgo: its medicinal and nutritional uses; its power as a source of artistic and religious inspiration; and its importance as one of the world's most popular street trees.

BBC News Online talks to one midwife who left the health service and has no intention of returning.
Suzanne Thompson started working as a midwife in the NHS in 1993.
She had trained for five years and was looking forward to a promising career doing what she loved.
Within two years she had resigned.
"We were also taught to give patients one to one research-based care.
"On the NHS labour ward, we were often looking after at least two women at the same time
"You were never giving patients the care you wanted to be able to give them."
Moved abroad
Suzanne went to work in Saudi Arabia. After a couple of years, she returned to the UK and starting working as a midwife again in the NHS.
"I came back on the same grade. The NHS punishes you for going abroad. My experience counted for nothing."
"There just wasn't enough midwives. It wasn't unusual for one midwife to be caring for 30 women and 30 babies overnight.
"I don't think you can give good quality care like that."
Suzanne, who is now 34, moved to The Netherlands, where she set herself up in independent practice.
"I had my own caseload. I was responsible for how I worked and when I worked. I really could give the type of care I wanted to give to patients."
Suzanne has now moved into teaching and now works at the Institute of Midwifery Education in Maastricht.
She thinks about coming back to the UK from time to time.
"England is my home. It is where my family are. But I don't think I could put myself into the NHS again."

COLUMBIA -- Pistols on hips, South Carolina gun owners appear ready to join their Georgia counterparts at the bar.
The S.C. Senate approved a bill that would allow concealed weapon permit holders to bring their firearm into South Carolina bars and restaurants that serve alcohol, as long they don't drink.
The S.C. House is likely to pass the legislation this month. Under the bill, S. 308, business owners would be allowed to post a no-guns sign on their establishment.
Regionally, Georgia has led the way on guns-in-bars.
In 2008, the state legislature allowed people to carry firearms into restaurants, as long as they didn't drink while armed. Today it's OK to bring guns into both restaurants and bars in Georgia — and partake of adult beverages.
"It is not against the law to drink while carrying in either place, provided that you have permission from the bar owner," said Jerry Henry, executive director of GeorgiaCarry.Org, Inc.
"The only thing against guns and alcohol is that it is against the law to discharge a firearm if one is drunk," he added.
During South Carolina's ongoing debate over allowing firearms where alcohol is consumed, some Democrats tried to stop the loosening of the law, or at least limit the changes to come.
One of them was Sen. John Scott, a Democrat from Columbia.
"Alcohol and guns just don't mix. There may be another family in there, and some persons end up in an altercation, and an innocent bystander could get killed," said the lawmaker.
"But if you're got the gun in your car, you've got a chance to cool off and possibly walk away from it all."
Supporters of the change say it's more secure and more convenient for a gun owner to keep his firearm on him when visiting a bar or restaurant than it is to leave the weapon in a parked automobile.
Scott said locking the weapon in the glove box of a locked automobile should be plenty secure.
Meanwhile, Henry of GeorgiaCarry.Org said his state hasn't encountered the type of scene opponents warned about.
"We have had zero incidents of law abiding citizens being in any 'O.K. Corral shootouts,' as predicted by the gun prohibitionists," he said.
Georgia's southern neighbor has drawn more attention over gun violence lately. Still, the latest fatal shooting in Florida to capture national disbelief took place in a movie theater, not a bar. The alleged shooter objected to the victim's texting. Popcorn was reportedly thrown, but no alcohol has been mentioned.
In Florida, guns in bars are still prohibited. And there are no bills pending like South Carolina's.
"It's definitely something we'd like to see," said Sean Caranna, executive director of Florida Carry, of South Carolina's proposal.
One reason? He pointed to the experience of Nikki Goeser, whose husband was fatally shot by a man in a bar in Tennessee. Goeser now crusades for expanding gun rights.
But the South Carolina senator believes legalizing firearms in bars invites more violence.
"Where are we going with this?" wondered Scott. "What message are we sending?"

A Great Time to Hoard Oil
Here's the big problem with oil. It's a great time to hoard it. With the glut of ships and day rates well below $20,000, it pays to fill up with oil and just keep it on a ship while prices go higher. Why not? I think that if I were still in the hedge fund business I would most definitely contract with Frontline (FRO) or Nordic American (NAT) to do so. It takes a lot of money to buy all of that crude, but it's a terrific trade and you can sell futures against it or sell it at a later date as Iran gets increasingly out of control.
You see, there are so many ships that are empty that the financial demand for oil can be filled rather easily....151 more words left in this article. To read them, just click below and try Real Money FREE for 14 days.

Lucas Leiva [2] believes Liverpool [3] have shown they mean business by persuading much-coveted striker Luis Suarez [4] to commit his future to the club until 2018.The Uruguay international, who has hit 19 goals in just 12 Premier League outings this season, had looked destined to leave Anfield in the summer, after stating his desire to play Champions League football.However, Liverpool stood firm and the former Ajax man performed a dramatic u-turn on Friday by putting pen to paper on a lucrative long-term deal.Lucas told LFC TV: "What he is doing this season and what he has done in the past few seasons he deserved that (his new contract). We can see he is really comfortable playing here. "It (the new deal) is a positive message because the owners (Fenway Sports Group) and manager (Brendan Rodgers) said they want to keep their best players and at the moment he is not only our best player but the best player in the league."Hopefully he will maintain this form for a long time for the club."Liverpool will stay top of the table if Arsenal fail to beat Chelsea on Monday night.

GIRLS from Leaden Hall School stepped back in time when they spent the day at Longford Castle on Thursday.
Dressed as Victorians, the Year 1 pupils learned about the life of a housemaid including making pastry for jam tarts, polishing brass and setting the fireplace.
They also helped the gardener dig up dinner from the vegetable patch and collected eggs from the hen house before preparing the evening meal.
The girls agreed that being a housemaid was hard work but they had a lovely time learning all about it

With the upcoming rematch between Eddie Bravo and Royler Gracie at Metamoris 3, the jiu-jitsu world has been buzzing and wondering how the two veterans of the sport are preparing for a rematch that has been 10 years in the making. Bravo spoke with Luke Thomas from MMAFighting.com to talk about facing Royler Gracie again after all these years.
"In my eyes, if I can beat him twice, that removes all doubt I got lucky the first time. As long as he doesn't crush me and beat me really quick and I put on a good, valiant effort and I throw some heat on him; as long as it's a good, entertaining match, in the long run it might not matter who wins or loses. I think them most important thing for jiu-jitsu is, this is an opportunity to take jiu-jitsu to the mainstream where it should've been a long time ago.
Yes, I want to win. Yes, I've trained like a madman. I'm stronger than ever, my cardio is better than ever. My jiu-jitsu is better than ever, thanks to Jean Jacques Machado. I want to win. I'm going out there to win, but the most import thing – for everybody, for the sake of jiu-jitsu – is we put on an exciting show, a show that people can't stop talking about."
Metamoris 3 takes places today at 4:00 PM PT.. Reserve your stream ticket here.

He wasn't above a little breaking and entering. He sometimes arrived with the bulldozers and wrecking balls. When he didn't beat them to the site, he would sometimes comb through the wreckage.
He famously rescued a number of chandeliers from the rubble of the Pacific Coast Club. Somehow he was able to ferry an entire drugstore counter and soda fountain before a building was taken down.
In his later years, he combed through eBay and other websites for Long Beachalia with the same kind of fervor.
That's how much Ken Larkey loved Long Beach history, and that's how dedicated he was to saving it.
By the time Larkey died in 2011 at the age of 82, he had amassed the largest collection of original Long Beach artifacts, remnants and just plain stuff this side of, well, anywhere.
He purportedly began at the age of 9, when he saved a panoramic photo of Long Beach circa 1906 from a trash can.
Marshall Pumphrey, who now curates Larkey's collection under the auspices of the nonprofit Long Beach Heritage Museum, teased his friend, calling him Long Beach's original "Dumpster diver."
In 1971, Larkey opened the Queen of the Beaches museum, later named the Long Beach Heritage Museum, which remained open until 1994, when its second home at Third Street and Elm Avenue was condemned.
Larkey spent the rest of his life attempting to find a permanent home for his collection. Today it exists in five 40-foot storage containers, with pieces at several storefronts.
There are hopes for finding homes for a number of Larkey's displays.
While the museum was open, it was a treasure trove. It contained much of an antique barbershop and displays from the Long Beach Ice Co., bathhouse and harbor. There were postcards, matchbooks, photos, grocery items, correspondences and signage. And, of course, the famed roller-coaster car from the Cyclone Racer, which Larkey reportedly bought from a scrapper for $10.
Pumphrey said, "It'll take several lifetimes to go through it all."
For Pumphrey, putting the items out where the public can see them would be the best legacy for a friend who did so much to save and preserve Long Beach's past.

TNT Orders Michael Bay's The Last Ship Starring Eric Dane and Releases Action Packed Promo05/07/2013
TNT Orders Michael Bay's The Last Ship Starring Eric Dane
Eric Dane Stars in Newly Greenlit Series from Executive Producer Michael Bay
TNT has greenlit the action-packed drama series The Last Ship, starring Eric Dane (Grey's Anatomy) and executive-produced by blockbuster filmmaker Michael Bay (Transformers). Based on William Brinkley's popular novel, The Last Ship comes to TNT from Bay's Platinum Dunes and its partners, Brad Fuller and Andrew Form, whose credits include upcoming Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. Bay, Fuller and Form serve as executive producers, along with showrunner Hank Steinberg (Without a Trace) and Steven Kane (The Closer). Steinberg and Kane wrote the series pilot, which was directed by Jonathan Mostow (U-571).
TNT has ordered 10 episodes of The Last Ship, with plans to launch the series in 2014. The story opens with a global catastrophe that nearly decimates the world's population. Because of its positioning, the Navy destroyer U.S.S. Nathan James avoids falling victim to the devastating tragedy. But now the crew and its captain must confront the reality of their new existence in a world where they may be among the few remaining survivors.
Dane stars as Captain Tom Chandler, a career Navy man who is authoritative and decisive, but also fair and courageous. A born leader and a loving father and husband, Chandler is respected and loved by the men and women under his command. The Last Ship also stars Rhona Mitra (Strike Back) as Rachel Scott, a strong-willed, intelligent and fearless paleomicrobiologist assigned to the Nathan James to investigate the cause of billions of deaths worldwide. Adam Baldwin (Firefly, Chuck) is Slattery, the ship's second-in-command who worries deeply about his family and occasionally clashes with Dane's Captain Chandler over the best course of action. And Tracy Middendorf (Boardwalk Empire, Mission: Impossible III) plays Darien Chandler, the captain's wife.
"The Last Ship has all the elements of a big Hollywood blockbuster, from its epic storytelling to its top-notch cast headed by the perfect leading man, Eric Dane," said Michael Wright, president, head of programming for TNT, TBS and Turner Classic Movies (TCM). "Michael Bay and his fellow executive producers have shaped William Brinkley's story and characters into an exceptional drama full of action, suspense, tragedy and triumph. The Last Ship is smart, fun television that takes you on a great ride."

Canterbury Maps goes live
April 12, 2012
Canterbury Maps goes live
Canterbury Maps, a joint data-sharing initiative by all the territorial authorities in Canterbury, is now live online. The new website – www.canterburymaps.govt.nz – features detailed maps and background data drawn from across the Canterbury region. Best of all, all the information is free to use.
The Canterbury Maps project has been co-ordinated by staff at Environment Canterbury Regional Council working with staff at Kaikoura District Council, Hurunui District Council, Waimakariri District Council, Christchurch City Council, Selwyn District Council, Ashburton District Council, Waimate District Council, Mackenzie District Council, Timaru District Council and Waitaki District Council.
At the website's official launch at Canterbury's Mayoral Forum on Friday 5 April, Mayor of Timaru Janie Annear welcomed the initiative. "Canterbury Maps is a great way to enable people in all walks of life – from schoolchildren to software specialists – to view and use maps based on real map data and to learn more about our region," she says.
It's simple to get started with Canterbury Maps. The map carousel and the map gallery on the site's homepage link to a wide range of available maps – including detailed land and property information, data on the region's water and air quality, council services and local attractions.
The site has a built-in map viewer which allows the maps to be manipulated by the user, including zoom and measurement functions, selecting of areas and map layers, drawing and annotation of the maps. Pop-up information boxes link to the raw background data that sits on council websites across the region.
An advanced viewer is also available on the site, suitable for more professional users including resource management consultants and planners. There are also useful links to geographical information system tools for serious software and app developers.
For further instructions about Canterbury Maps, including more on how to get started on the site, see the document attached.

Aldiko Basic Question
I'm used to Kindle, but now have Nexus7, and to read my own epub books, have had to start using Aldiko, and after some days of getting used to, it seems to do the job fairly well.
My question seems simple enough: how do you go back to the page you were reading, when you check bookmarks, or do a 'go to' elsewhere in the book. I know on Kindle I could just click on 'Back' and I would go back thru the different areas to my original page. Now, I've learnt to bookmark here, same as on Kindle, but it does seem there must be an easier way to just 'go back' to page I was reading.
I've already checked up and down Aldiko forums without finding this, and I"m sure it's something stupid I've missed, so if you've a link I could go to, or even instructions for the clueless, I'd be gratefull...
Much appreciated....

I am polyamorous and living with a polyamorous partner. I would enjoy having an friendship/open relationship with someone locally, but long distance is OK. I am open to whatever develops, from friendship to something more. I don't have a set age or physical profile in mind. I am more interested in the entire person.
I am open minded, imaginative, and insightful
Meeting the demands of everyday life, trying to grow as a person, enjoying what life has to offer and focusing on friends and family fill most of my days.
2. Listening - being sympathetic – compassionate supportive and kindhearted and considerate I am told I have a warm open manner that allows people to open up to me....
3. I am intelligent -.I value brains...and people who use them....
4. Laughing- I have a good sense of humor
5. Teaching and training -
6. Conversation -
I like all kinds of music, at least in part. That includes classical, jazz, classic rock, singer/songwriter stuff, roots music, alternative music and world music. I'm sure I've left some out!
I am pretty adventuresome when it comes to food. If it's well prepared with quality ingredients, I will probably like it!
When it comes to movies, I lean toward older ones. I love romantic comedies, film noir, mysteries, fifties sci-fi andAlfred HItchcock. The old Thin Man series is wonderful as are the Tracey/Hepburn films. I also like Bogart films. I have a soft spot for musicals, too as well as The Marx Brothers and Monty Python.
Also I love some old television shows like Firefly, Perry Mason, Route 66, Dick VanDyke, Andy Griffith and the various Star Treks.

Preventing Email HarvestingAugust 3rd, 2006
An accessible method with MochiKit
When you include a href="mailto:email@example.com" link on your page you are publishing a sure fire way of attracting spam. The usual way around this is to mangle the email address, the typical example being href="mailto:name [at] example [dot] com". Unfortunately this relies on your user being savvy enough to edit the email address after their email client takes the trouble to load up, a burden that is pretty impolite to lay at our users door.
I'm introducing a method to circumvent this here that isn't original, wettone already has a version. It relies on a JavaScript transformation of the page, so that the source code doesn't contain the email address, but the user can still see it. Where this method differs from wettones however, is that it is designed so that it does not affect (too much) the user's ability to email you if they have JavaScript turned off (and also it doesn't use document.write, which is illegal in xhtml). Please remember that this method is just a tat in the anti spam arms race, and that it's only a matter of popularity before the spammers game this method.
The idea proceeds as follows (and requires that you are using MochiKit be installed):
- Remove all your mailto anchors and replace them with a span (or any other element) which has a class of email (the class can be configured if you like)
- Insert your email address into the span with all '@' signs replaced with ' [at] ', and all '.'s replaced with ' [dot] '
- Insert the following JavaScript function somewhere in your JavaScript files:
emailAntiSpam(atString, dotString, containerClassName){ if(!atString) atString = " [at] "; if(!dotString) dotString = " [dot] "; if(!containerClassName) containerClassName = "email"; MochiKit.Base.map( function(emailContainer){ var emailAddress = MochiKit.DOM.scrapeText(emailContainer); emailAddress = emailAddress.replace(atString, "@"); emailAddress = emailAddress.replace(dotString, "."); MochiKit.DOM.replaceChildNodes( emailContainer, MochiKit.DOM.A({'href': 'mailto:'+emailAddress}, emailAddress)); }, MochiKit.DOM.getElementsByTagAndClassName(null, containerClassName) ); }
- Call the emailAntiSpam function in your page load function (in the simplest form this would be body.onload=emailAntiSpam, but there are much better methods I won't get into here). All text within elements which have class email get a mailto anchor inserted.
Optional: you can change the class from the default of 'email', as well as the strings of text to replace with '@' and '.', by calling the function with the atString, dotString and containerClassName parameters specified. You can see this method at work on the qatano website. View the source and compare it with what you see on the page. I have used ' at ' and ' dot ' as the strings to be replaced with their symbolic equivalent.
Other Accessibility Considerations
I deliberately have left out the ability to specify your own text for the email link e.g. email us rather than email@example.com. This is done to ensure that users can still copy and paste the email address from their web browser into, for example, a web based email system, such as Yahoo, as the operating system isn't usually set up to handle mailto links in this way. Also it means that someone can read out your email address over the phone by looking at your website.
Another thing I have deliberately left out (or in this case deliberately not bothered finding out how to do!) is the ability to specify the subject line that should appear in the email. The reason for this omission is that it can completely fail in old browsers. Admittedly, really old browsers.

Convergence of the Export Structure of Romania, Croatia, Serbia and Bosnia-Herzegovina to the Structure of Import Demand in Developed Countries
The similarity coefficients of the export structures of Romania, Croatia, Serbia and Bosnia-Herzegovina and the import structure of the EU and the U.S. have increased since 2000, but to date, they have not reached a critical turning point. This indicates that the qualities of exports from the observed transitional economies have not rapidly improved, and the export structure remains relatively unfavourable, particularly when compared to advanced transitional countries. The most important factors in the success of advanced transitional economies were: the inflow of foreign direct investment, imports of modern technology (and later, their own development), innovation, development of small and medium sized enterprises, foreign competition, the development of a market economy and macroeconomic stability. The export structures of Romania, Croatia, Serbia and Bosnia correlate with improvement in the process of transition in the observed countries. In 2009 Bosnia had the absolute lowest level of similarity coefficient among the studied countries, followed by Serbia, Romania and Croatia, which corresponds to the overall economic performance and foreign trade of the observed economies.

Tree farm changes ownership but remains family tradition
by Dennis Dalman
A 30-year-old family business, Hinkemeyer's Tree Farm near Rice, has been sold, but it will remain part of the family tradition because its new owner is Cheryl Thiele, one of the Hinkemeyers' two daughters.
Cheryl and her husband, Randy Thiele, recently purchased the tree farm from Cheryl's parents. During an interview with the Newsleader, Cheryl and her father talked about the many years of the business and some of the changes the Thieles intend to make.
Many residents throughout central Minnesota have long been familiar with Hinkemeyer's Tree Farm, a place where customers can saw down their choice of trees. Visiting Hinkemeyer's has become a virtual holiday tradition not just for getting a tree but for the ambience of the business – families with children pulled on sleds, the cozy toasty shop filled with colorful Christmas gifts, wreathes, mistletoe, scented candles and the nostalgic aroma of spicy punch.
The business was started three decades ago by Floyd and Janice Hinkemeyer, who recently built a house across the township road from the property. Floyd was a school counselor for many years at Pierz (Minn.) High School.
The tree farm is located on CR 2 about five miles east of Rice.
"It's a big change," Floyd said. "But we're so glad it's still going to be in the family. Cheryl bought our old house and the 40 acres with the trees."
Even though Floyd and Janice are now retired, they will still enjoy occasional visits to the tree-farm business so they can chat with their long-time customers or lend a hand now and then to their daughter and son-in-law.
The Thieles live in Chanhassen, Minn. Cheryl is a stay-at-home mom with three young children: London, Jaden and Olivia. Randy works for a computer service that sets up computer tests for companies that allow companies to determine the strengths of applicants for jobs.
Both of the Thieles will be at their tree farm during the busy pre-Christmas selling season.
One change the Thieles made was to rename the business by taking the "s" from the Hinkemeyer name. They did so, Cheryl said, just so there would be no bookkeeping confusion from the previous ownership and the new ownership. The official name is now "Hinkemeyer Tree Farm."
Another change is the new large glass window on the gift shop from which customers can view the vast fields of trees: balsam, Frasier and Canaan firs; Scotch and Norway pines; white and blue spruce. There are about 25,000 trees planted on the 40-acre farm, but only about 3,000 are ready for cutting down every Christmas season.
Other changes the Thieles will introduce are a lunch-vending wagon and horse-drawn rides beginning Nov. 29, the day after Thanksgiving. Early birds will have a chance to get their trees early during a special pre-sale opening from 9 a.m.-5 p.m. Sunday, Nov. 24.
"It's an honor to carry on this family tradition," Cheryl said. "Keeping it in the family – that's the most important thing. I grew up with it. I don't know what Christmas would be like if I wasn't selling trees."
Cheryl and her older siblings, Chad and Camie, helped with tree sales ever since they were young children.
"Most people have no idea how much work and details go into this business," Cheryl said, noting it requires year-round work, including such tasks as weeding and insect control. "There's a lot to it and so many background details my parents are still teaching us."
The tree-farm business can also bring surprises, like a gopher that kept "excavating" recently by the tree shed.
The Hinkemeyer Tree Farm will be open from 9 a.m.-7 p.m. Thursdays and Fridays; and from 9 a.m.-5 p.m. Saturdays and Sundays. It will be closed Mondays, Tuesdays and Wednesdays. The tree farm employs 15 employees at peak times.
Its number is 320-393-2854. The address is 12675 22nd Ave. NE, Rice.

There are three important things going on in "The Tillman Story" (in selected theatres today), two of which almost make the conspiracy-mongering documentary worth your time. The first and best is the opportunity to get to know better the extraordinary and extraordinarily complicated and interesting Pat Tillman. In the best sense of the word, this was a fierce and fiercely passionate man - fierce on the football field, fierce on the battlefield, and fierce in his personal beliefs. This was also a man who only ever dated one woman, the woman he would marry the same week he enlisted; and my guess is that Tillman was the kind of man and husband who found leaving the fame of professional football much easier than leaving his young bride.
You also meet Tillman's family; his parents, brother and wife - a decent, loving, inconsolable group dealing with the terrible loss of someone they obviously loved and miss very much. This is a family furious with a United States government who didn't know all the facts before they told the story of Tillman's death to them, and to the American people. And as far as that goes, they are right to be angry.
Unfortunately, you also witness a partisan filmmaker attempting to prop up the absurd anti-Bush conspiracy theory that it wasn't the ever-reliable incompetence of government bureaucracy that caused what was probably the second worst day in this family's life - the day they were told Tillman had been killed in a friendly fire incident, but rather a sinister plot hatched by the Administration and the Pentagon to use Tillman's death as a flag-waving symbol to bolster military recruitment and support for the war. The Tillman family agrees wholeheartedly with this conspiracy, believes that the memory of their heroic son was maliciously abused in this way. But with all due respect to them (and they are due our respect), neither logic nor facts come close to making that case.
As far as addressing the specific details surrounding the film's specific charges, using his military experience and keen mind, Kurt Schlichter has already taken much of the film's case completely apart, piece by piece, and I urge you to read his review. My review will remain focused solely within the context of the documentary itself, a documentary no intellectually honest person can respect, much less champion.
To director Amir Bar-Lev's credit, the most important fact of this entire case is not left out of what basically plays like an overlong "60 Minutes" segment. But this important fact is glossed over and presented so early on that - probably by design - you might forget all about it during the third act as circumstantial evidence is laid out hot and heavy with the help of foreboding camera moves - such as the one that slowly rises though a mob chart of Administration "bad guys" until ominously arriving at the smiling face of one President George W. Bush. It's just too bad for Bar-Lev that the melodramatic use of a camera crane doesn't equal damning facts.
On May 3rd, 2004, a memorial for Pat Tillman took place in San Jose's Municipal Rose Garden. Tillman was posthumously awarded the Silver Star and both his family and the whole world believed he had been killed in a Taliban ambush during a brave attempt to draw their fire in order to save his own men. Just a few weeks later, the Army would come forward to acknowledge that this narrative was wrong and that Tillman had been killed by friendly fire.
At this point, the question that came to my mind was why would the Pentagon and the Bush Administration voluntarily come forward and uncover their own conspiracy? The film makes no mention of any outside pressure on the Pentagon from the Tillman family or even the media to get the bottom of anything. Meaning that at this point everyone believed the initial report and apparently all the Administration and military had to do to keep us all believing was to keep their mouths shut.
So the question is: If the idea was to use Tillman's death for nefarious pro-war purposes, why just a few weeks after the memorial service would those with the most to lose from doing so, voluntarily kick over a political hornets' nest by telling the truth? Why not milk the situation for as long as possible and for as much propaganda as possible, especially with a presidential election just five months off? At the very least, why not save all the political heartache and fallout this revelation was sure to bring (and did) and stall until after Bush is reelected?
A producer once told me that whenever you have a film character open a refrigerator door you either have to show them close it or include the sound effect of the door closing, or else the audience will get unsettled thinking the door has been left open. Bar-Lev's refusal to address or explain why a supposed-group of conspirators would of their own volition blow the whistle on their own supposed conspiracy leaves that door open. And no fancy camera move or sinister scoring is going to close it.
As the film moves towards its climax, an August of 2007 Congressional hearing, the conspiracy becomes even less convincing. Democrat Rep. Henry Waxman brought together all the players, including Donald Rumsfeld and General Richard Myers, to testify under oath and before the television cameras about what they knew and when they knew it. You get the sense that Bar-Lev actually wants us to believe that Henry Waxman, one of the most extreme Bush haters in all of Congress, was - at best - less than enthused at this opportunity or maybe even in on the alleged cover up.
Bar-Lev's sin of omission is not giving the audience any background on Waxman's investigative crusades to bring Bush down, which would go a long way towards giving this Congressional hearing looking into the Tillman case credibility. But that kind of knowledge would also work against the filmmaker's obvious political agenda. No one wanted Bush's scalp more than Henry Waxman. Instead, however, all we see are shots of the Congressman looking indifferent and bored.
To anyone who's even a tenth the independent thinker Pat Tillman was, this documentary looking into his death never rises above the level of left-wing propaganda.
Pat Tillman was a patriot and an American hero, and the truth of what happened that terrible day changes none of that. As far as Pat Tillman's family, there is nothing they deserve more than whatever emotional closure one can have in such a situation. I do hope they find it. But where they're looking for it now, it simply doesn't exist.

I have two boys and one girl. I don't really believe one is 'easier' than the other, but is based entirely on personality. One of my boys has ADHD and dyslexia and that said, anyone who doesn't have a child with this type of 'gift' in the spectrum has no idea about challenging children. He is now 9 and it has been a hard road from early on. These children are definately the hardest to parent in every way!
I have 2 boys and one girl and i think that the boys are very hard to look after than the girl. Girls listens and do what's told but the boys will always argue that why i have to do it. boys have more interest in playing with cars than reading a book or doing homework.
well according to your article my eldest son is in fact a girl. He started speaking at 9 months (before he could crawl) and by 18 months had a vocubulary of over 500 words. I was studying language acquisition at the time so kept a list (geek alert). He's kind, gentle and a people pleaser, His teachers all love him because he sits quietly and does as he's told. He loved to play with dolls as a wee boy and now loves to play with 'action figure'. He'll amuse himself for hours drawing, building, reading etc.
I don't like these stereotypical boxes they get misused and overused. When you're working with large groups they can be a useful starting point, when you're looking at individuals they're next to useless.
I keep getting told that boys are easier to raise, as I don't have any girls I'll have to take that at face value - absolute garbage.
As individuals my second son is the hardest so far, He's an interesting combination of bolshy and insecure, physically very adventurous but socially quite clingy. I find him mentally very tiring.
Get the troop together and they're loud and boisterous, hardly surprising. We've had our share of broken bones, cuts, abrasions, falls and bike accidents. Typical boys? The older two play rugby and love it, they're usually to be found at the bottom of any mauls. Typical boys? They love to cook and bake, yesterday we made cupcakes and decorated them. Typical boys? One of their favouite games has always been families. They'll have a toy each (car, animal, soft toy, transformer ...) and role play. You be the baby and I'll be the dad. Typical boys?
The world is all too fast to push them into boxes and judge their behaviour, Do we have to do it as well?

U.S. grower-shippers aren't the only ones reaping the benefits of increasing demand for locally grown produce.
"The locally grown craze does help us in Ontario as local consumers are concerned about where their produce comes from and if it is safe," said Mark Slater, director of Erie James Ltd., Leamington, Ontario. "They request Ontario-grown product in the stores when it is available."
Slater said Foodland Ontario — a consumer promotion program of the Ontario Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs — helps growers with radio ads and display materials to help promote local products.
Slater said he didn't think there was a local sales boost from large markets near Leamington on the U.S. side of the border. The Ontario greenhouses are close to Detroit, but sources disagreed on whether or not an imported product could be promoted as local.
"Leamington production is as close to home as a rural Detroit consumer can get," said Peter Quiring, owner of Nature Fresh Farms Inc., Leamington. "I would hope that most of the population would understand that when making their close-to-home choices for fresh food."
Paul Mastronardi, executive vice president of Mastronardi Produce, Kingsville, Ontario, said "there is much interpretation as to what 'buying local' really means."
"We are well located for sure, and there are some advantages," he said. "We would like to think that many considerations add up to making the purchase decision, and we add up to a compelling value equation for most customers we serve."
Joe Santoro, produce buyer for Nino Salvaggio International Marketplace, St. Clair Shores, Mich., said some of his competitors in the Detroit area do promote Ontario product as local, but the small independent retail chain does not.
"We say, 'grown in Canada,'" Santoro said. "Our customers prefer Michigan product to anything else, but they're more accepting to Canadian product than Mexican product."
Santoro, however, said the high quality and close proximity of Ontario's greenhouse products are appreciated by him and his customers before Michigan's own local deal begins in July.
"When it's in season, we pull out of Canada," he said. "The Detroit terminal market gets flooded with Ontario produce. It's basically overnight delivery. It really couldn't be any fresher."
George Gilvesy, general manager of Ontario Greenhouse Vegetable Growers, Leamington, said the organization's programs this year will focus on in-store demonstrations both in the U.S. and Canada.
"In addition, we are taking a keen focus on merchandising education for retailers in regards to Ontario greenhouse produce," he said.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. - The Jacksonville Sheriff's Office issued a warning Tuesday about a rash of van thefts throughout the city of Jacksonville and now Channel 4 has learned that a local church was victim to one of the thefts.
Pastor Gabe Trevino told Channel 4 that the church van from Faith Temple Assembly of God was stolen on Valentine's Day.
"These guys wouldn't be able to get to church if we didn't pick them up, so it was priority to us," said Trevino.
Trevino explained that the van was used to shuttle kids to and from church, but now the group is left using a costly rental to get by.
"We forgive them. It's a van. It's replaceable and we look forward to one day meeting them and going forward from there," said Trevino.
The sign on Faith Temple Assembly of God's building reads, "No perfect people allowed." Trevino told Channel 4 that if the thieves came forward, that he'd welcome them into his church.
"I don't know what all of this is about, but it's an opportunity for our church to even love those who didn't show so much love that night," said Trevino. "So I would love to even invite those who took our van to be part of what we're doing here at Faith Temple."
The Jacksonville Sheriff's Office said the Westside church's van was one of 10 vans targeted by crooks over the last month.
VIDEO: In the last 30 days, the Jacksonville Sheriff's Office says 10 different vans have been stolen on the Westside. The Faith Temple Assembly of God was among the victims.
RELATED: Police warn about recent van thefts
"Right now, we'd like to get a break in one of these cases so we can make an arrest in one of these cases and start to determine if any of those are linked," said Jacksonville Sheriff's Office Public Information Officer Shannon Hartley.
"We have about 60 students in our school, so we're talking about re-arranging field trips right now. We have to try to get parents to try to leave their work to be a part of the carpool right now and with Wednesday night and Sunday morning picking people up, we only have one van," said Trevino.
Deputies are asking anyone with any information about these crimes to come forward.
"We realize people are going through stuff and we know that it could be used in a crime, and our pray is that it's not," said Trevino.

Movies are my favorite. Mubi is a great website, and I try to keep my profile updated, but I forget to rate things now and then. If you love movies I highly suggest you check the site out: https://mubi.com/users/161699/
I really like Bossa Nova, Jazz, House, African, and Classical.
I'm partial to Mediterranean and Indian food. Jalapeño poppers are my horrifying weakness.
I'd rather go to a museum than a concert.

Crews are working to move a truck - believed to be full of sewage - which rolled over on Morshead Drive outside the Royal Military College at Duntroon on Thursday morning.
No one was injured in the crash, which occurred at 10.52am.
Police said the truck was carrying sewage and according to an emergency officer on the scene, about 20 thousand litres had to be emptied before it was able to be cleared.
Lanes were closed near the Morshead Drive and Staff Cadet Avenue roundabout.
Police also closed the exit ramp from the Monaro Highway around 1pm and diverted traffic via Fairbairn Ave.
Crews were still working to lift up the truck as of 12.55pm.

Bad news for Katy Perry. The 'Part Of Me' starlet may be in legal trouble for indecency in India following a fairly harmless concert at a cricket match. What happened?
2012 Teen Choice Awards Red Carpet Pictures
The 2012 Teen Choice Awards brought out a pretty fashionable bunch. Hostess with the mostess Demi Lovato rocked a futuristic, super long blonde ponytail — gone are her blue and green (once pink) tips! It was a huge night for Lovato, as she wasn't just co-hosting with 'Glee' star Kevin McHale, she was also up for a few awards of her own. You go, Demz!
2012 Teen Choice Awards Winners List
Teens get a bad rap as being a pretty angsty, hormonal bunch — but they're also smart, fun and kind of awesome, so it only makes sense that the 2012 Teen Choice Awards followed suit. With nominations for everyone from Justin Bieber to Nicki Minaj to Zooey Deschanel, some frontrunners are predictable: Katy Perry, Miley Cyrus, Selena Gomez and hostess with the mostess Demi Lovato are favorites for all of their categories, though for some of them they're actually competing against one another!
One Direction Fall Victim to Pregnancy Prank
In what may well be the funniest thing you see all day, One Direction members Louis Tomlinson and Zayn Malik — with a little help from Nickelodeon and a really good actress — pranked fellow members Niall Horan, Liam Payne and Harry Styles hard on set.

Carly Rae Jepsen is more than capable of writing and performing a pop hit by her lonesome — see the ever-ubiquitous 'Call Me Maybe' for proof — but she really likes working with other artists, too.

Listen to a Snippet of Pink's 'The King Is Dead But the Queen Is Alive'
We guess the truth about love is that it's not a monarchy.
Following the release of 'Blow Me (One Last Kiss),' Pink is back with yet another breakup tune — albeit this time, it's only a snippet. A clip of 'The King Is Dead But the Queen Is Alive' hit the Internets, and it's trademark Pink all the way.
Carly Rae Jepsen Spills on Her Love Life
Carly Rae Jepsen is in the public eye all the time, whether she's partying with Katy Perry or performing with Justin Bieber. But for as much as we see and hear her, we don't actually know too much about her life — specifically, her dating life. So is she single or taken, maybe?
Pink Says She Loves Being a Mom, But Misses Her Whiskey
Pink was one of the biggest partiers in the pop scene for a while. While you never caught her stumbling out of nightclubs like a sloppy drunk mess, she made no secret of her love for throwing back booze. Since becoming a mom to adorable Willow Sage, though, Pink is throwing back milk, instead.

Fonterra plans to invest in new Indonesian plant
By Paul McBeth
April 17 (BusinessDesk) – Fonterra Cooperative Group, the world's biggest dairy exporter, plans to invest in a new blending and packing plant in Indonesia as it seeks to tap growing Asian demand for high-protein food products.
The plant is expected to be running within 18 months, and will pack and blend New Zealand-sourced ingredients for the Anlene, Anmum and Anchor Boneeto consumer brands to be distributed into the Indonesian market.
Chief executive Theo Spierings announced the plan as part of the Prime Minister John Key-led trade missions to Indonesia, which is the 10th-biggest market for Fonterra and New Zealand's 10th-largest export destination.
"With such rapid growth forecast in Indonesia, we want to increase our packing and blending capabilities on the ground to support the long-term growth of our business," Spierings said in a statement.
"While Fonterra's brands will continue to use New Zealand ingredients, the new plant will support more local secondary processing of the products and help us respond to market needs swiftly," he said.
The announcement comes a week after the dairy exporter flagged it would spend $100 million to build two more farms in China, when Fonterra said it wants to produce up to one billion litres of milk a year by 2020 across the world's most populous nation.
Maspiyono Handoyo, president director of Fonterra Brands Indonesia, said the company is looking to work with partners to set up the plant, and is considering its "possible structural options and locations."
The dairy exporter is seeking to attract external investment to pay for its global aspirations with its controversial Trading Among Farmers project – a scheme that would enable farmers to sell the dividend rights of their shares into a fund, which would then become available for investors to purchase as units in a secondary market.

Fight the Signs of Aging with Advanced Antioxidant Support
As we get older, our body's production of mitochondria—the energy factories our cells need to function and thrive—goes way down. Add to that the constant assault from free radicals and it's no wonder our hearts, brains… all of us, don't work as optimally as they once did. Advanced Cell Rescue™ combines powerful antioxidants to spark the development of new mitochondria and scavenge free radicals so that you can fight the signs of aging and keep your vital systems running the way they should.
The key ingredient in Advanced Cell Rescue™ is PQQ (short for pyrroloquinoline quinone), which stimulates the creation of mitochondria. PQQ is a highly potent antioxidant that protects you against oxidative aging. That means your heart, kidneys, brain, and every cell in your body feels younger.
Advanced Cell Rescue™ also helps create your mitochondria's natural bodyguard, the super-antioxidant glutathione. Glutathione is perhaps the most important antioxidant in the world. This powerhouse increases nitric oxide, which supports healthy arteries, blood pressure, and healthy muscle function. It also protects your eyes, your blood glucose balance, your brain and all your 100 trillion cells that make up your body.
However, glutathione is hardly ever used in supplement formulas because of absorption issues. Advanced Cell Rescue™ solves that problem by using the building blocks of glutathione—N-Acetyl-Cysteine (NAC) and Glycine—to help your body rev up production naturally.
Finally, Advanced Cell Rescue™ includes astaxanthin help promote younger-looking skin.
Each of Nutri-Health's formulas is made with high-quality ingredients, backed by clinical research. Learn more about the ingredients and science behind Advanced Cell Rescue™ by clicking on the Science & Research tab.

- Science & Research
In Advanced Cell Rescue you get these proven ingredients:
Pyrroloquinoline Quinone (PQQ): Advanced Cell Rescue includes a special form of PQQ called BioPQQ® with such impressive research, it earned the prestigious "Ingredient with Best Science" by leading supplement industry experts in 2013.
In one study published in The Journal of Biological Chemistry researchers infused active PQQ compounds into aging animal cells. The results showed that PQQ increased levels of PGC 1-alpha—the human chemical that triggers mitochondrial growth. In addition, the number of mitochondria increased.
Another study conducted at the VA Medical Center at UC-San Francisco demonstrated in animal studies that PQQ supplementation resulted in:
• Support for heart health
• Increased mitochondrial energy production
And, a mice study showed that those with higher levels of mitochondrial antioxidants supported the mice's heart health and overall well-being.
PQQ's ability to support cognitive health was demonstrated in one double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical trial in Japan where adults aged 40-70 were given 20mg of PQQ on a daily basis. After a 12-week period, the PQQ group showed a trend towards higher cognitive function.
Animal studies also demonstrate PQQ's valuable support for brain function.
N-Acetyl-Cysteine (NAC) and Glycine: Advanced Cell Rescue includes both these nutrients because studies suggest their combination may be even more effective than NAC alone. NAC has been shown to increase your levels glutathione naturally. Studies have demonstrated that high levels of glutathione are associated with good health, specifically in the elderly.
One study in Denmark looked at centenarians between 100 and 105 years old. The researchers found that centenarians with the highest glutathione activity also had the best functional ability—even compared people aged 60 to 79.
Another study evaluated women in excellent physical and mental health, ranging from 60 – 103 years old, and found that all of the subjects had very high glutathione levels. Researchers followed these women for five years and concluded that "high blood glutathione concentrations are characteristic of long-lived women."
And, researchers at University of Michigan studied people over age 60 and found that higher glutathione levels were associated with better health, and lower body mass index.
Astaxanthin: Through various human clinical trials and animal studies, astaxanthin has suggested two important physical benefits—it supports endurance and muscle recovery.
In one Swedish human study, the daily use of 4mg of astaxanthin for six months was analyzed. The results showed strength and endurance improved significantly compared to the placebo group.
In an in vitro study, astaxanthin had greater antioxidant power than certain other antioxidants (alpha lipoic acid, green tea catechins, coenzyme Q10 and vitamin C) at quenching oxidation.
New research has started to uncover astaxanthin's benefits for the skin. This was demonstrated in a study conducted in Japan with 40 year old women. After four weeks of taking astaxanthin, participants saw improvements in:
- Spots and freckles
- Fine wrinkles
- Moisture levels
- Skin tone
- Elasticity
- Smoothness
The placebo group showed no improvement.

The last thing the Georgia soccer team needed to see Sunday was a great goalkeeper.
7 p.m.
But Megan Rivera played that role perfectly, and with a little help from midfielder Kellie Evans Auburn held off Georgia 1-0 at the Georgia Soccer Stadium.
Rivera, a 5-foot-7 sophomore, dove to her left and pushed Elizabeth Metherell's bid for the upper left corner over the bar in the 80th minute to preserve the Tigers' 1-0 lead.
Evans then did her part in the 86th minute as she made a back save on a Tricia McKee header that caught Rivera out of position.
The two plays frustrated Georgia (4-7-1, 0-2 Southeastern Conference) on an afternoon in which it controlled the second half.
''I think we made progress today,'' Georgia coach Sue Patberg said. ''Our first half was OK, and in the second half our intensity just elevated the game. That's where I think the progress is. We have to remember how that felt and they have to remember how hard they worked to play at that level and carry it through to the next games.''
Georgia hurt itself in the first eight minutes when it failed to put two scoring opportunities on net.
Auburn (9-3, 1-1) made Georgia pay in the 25th minute when Sandra Carnes scored off a scramble in the box. The Bulldogs had two chances to clear the ball, but Carnes was the first player to get a solid touch on the ball.
''We talk about games are won and lost in the penalty box, and a lot of times it is just effort and who is going to get a hold of the ball first,'' Auburn coach Karen Richter said.
Georgia goalkeeper Ashley Lindley kept the score 1-0 in the 26th minute when she made a diving stop on Jessie Allan and then in the 32nd minute when she pushed Evans' restart over the crossbar.
McKee may have had the Bulldogs' best chance of the half in the 35th minute, but her left-footed shot from the top of the box bounced off the crossbar.
Georgia, which was coming off a 4-1 loss to Alabama on Friday, maintained its intensity in the second half and dictated most of the play.
But while the Bulldogs worked the ball around effectively in their defensive third and in the middle of the field, they just couldn't click in the final third.
''It's like the defenders are one team, the midfielders are one team and the forwards are one team and we can't be one team,'' Metherell said. ''I think it is going to click in sometime, and that's when we're going to get our goals when that clicks in.''
And when Georgia connected or had an open shot, Rivera or Evans was there on the last line of defense.
''(Rivera) did it for us all last year, and this year she really has stepped up her leadership,'' said Richter, who coached Rivera on the U.S. Under-19 National team at the inaugural FIFA World Youth Championships in the fall. ''To pull that one out of the corner, that wins games for you. A good team with a great goalkeeper is a great team. It is a difference-maker for us.''
