Nurses' experiences, expectations, and preferences for mind-body practices to reduce stress
Most research on the impact of mind-body training does not ask about participants' baseline experience, expectations, or preferences for training. To better plan participant-centered mind-body intervention trials for nurses to reduce occupational stress, such descriptive information would be valuable.
We conducted an anonymous email survey between April and June, 2010 of North American nurses interested in mind-body training to reduce stress. The e-survey included: demographic characteristics, health conditions and stress levels; experiences with mind-body practices; expected health benefits; training preferences; and willingness to participate in future randomized controlled trials.
Of the 342 respondents, 96% were women and 92% were Caucasian. Most (73%) reported one or more health conditions, notably anxiety (49%); back pain (41%); GI problems such as irritable bowel syndrome (34%); or depression (33%). Their median occupational stress level was 4 (0 = none; 5 = extreme stress). Nearly all (99%) reported already using one or more mind-body practices to reduce stress: intercessory prayer (86%), breath-focused meditation (49%), healing or therapeutic touch (39%), yoga/tai chi/qi gong (34%), or mindfulness-based meditation (18%). The greatest expected benefits were for greater spiritual well-being (56%); serenity, calm, or inner peace (54%); better mood (51%); more compassion (50%); or better sleep (42%). Most (65%) wanted additional training; convenience (74% essential or very important), was more important than the program's reputation (49%) or scientific evidence about effectiveness (32%) in program selection. Most (65%) were willing to participate in a randomized trial of mind-body training; among these, most were willing to collect salivary cortisol (60%), or serum biomarkers (53%) to assess the impact of training.
Most nurses interested in mind-body training already engage in such practices. They have greater expectations about spiritual and emotional than physical benefits, but are willing to participate in studies and to collect biomarker data. Recruitment may depend more on convenience than a program's scientific basis or reputation. Knowledge of participants' baseline experiences, expectations, and preferences helps inform future training and research on mind-body approaches to reduce stress.
Stress and burnout are common among nurses, the largest group of health professionals
According to the US National Institutes of Health (NIH) National Center for Complementary and Alternative Medicine (NCCAM), mind-body practices "focus on the interactions among the brain, mind, body, and behavior, with the intent to use the mind to affect physical functioning and promote health" and include several different practices
Although there has been enormous growth in the number of studies evaluating the health benefits of meditation, the paucity of direct comparisons between training in the different kinds of practices creates a challenge for those planning mind-body training programs to reduce nurses' stress and improve health care quality and outcomes
Because mind-body practices are commonly used by the general public, it is likely that some nurses also use them, but few studies have assessed the
The purpose of this study was to prepare for subsequent studies comparing different mind-body approaches to reducing occupational stress among nurses. Because most studies of mind-body training involve voluntary courses that recruit subjects who are interested in stress reduction, a voluntary survey of nurses interested in reducing stress seemed an appropriate first step. The primary study questions were: Among nurses who are interested in stress reduction: 1. What experience do they already have with mind-body practices to reduce stress? 2. In addition to reducing stress, what other health benefits do they expect mind-body approaches to have for them? 3. What factors affect their preferred training?, and 4. Would they be willing to participate in studies of training, be randomized, and provide biomarker data for such studies?
To answer these questions, an anonymous, cross-sectional on-line survey was conducted in spring, 2010. A broad response from nurses in a variety of settings was sought with the goal of receiving at least 300 completed surveys from a variety of settings. Nurses were eligible if they practiced in ambulatory or inpatient settings, community or academic settings, and whether they were in training or in practice. Internet access was necessary for participation because recruitment was conducted by email.
Recruitment was conducted solely through email. Approximately 75 email invitations were sent between April and June, 2010 to colleagues, leaders in nursing organizations, and to Listserv groups that included nurses. These included the Directors of Nursing at Wake Forest University Baptist Medical Center; the Directors of the Nursing Magnet program at the 17 North Carolina Magnet Hospitals recognized by the American Nurses' Credentialing Center; a nursing leader at the Ralph H. Johnson Veterans Administration (VA) Medical Center in Charleston, South Carolina; the Director of the Rhode Island State Nurses Association; the Dean of the School of Nursing at the University of New Brunswick; the Boston area coordinator of Therapeutic Touch International Association; and a nursing leader at Kent County Memorial Hospital in Rhode Island. They also included Listservs for Pediatric Integrative Medicine; the North Carolina Mountain Area Health Education Center's Nursing Consortium; and the Association of Wound Specialists.
The emails described the purpose of the survey and provided a link to the Survey Monkey site (SurveyMonkey can be found at
The survey was developed, reviewed, and revised by a multidisciplinary group including a meditation teacher, a psychologist with extensive experience with mind-body practices, researchers, nurses, nurse educators, and nursing administrators. It was pilot tested with two experienced nurses in two states before being distributed. In the pilot phase (which did not lead to any substantial revisions), the entire survey required less than 20 minutes to complete. It consisted of 5 e-pages with multiple choice questions: 1) previous experiences, training and practice with meditation, prayer, and other mind-body practices included in the NIH NCCAM category of mind-body practices as well as nursing biofield practices of therapeutic and healing touch (Although healing touch and therapeutic touch are generally considered biofield therapies, they were included in this survey at the suggestion of nurses who view them as ways of centering and extending compassion that reduce stress in providers as well as patients.); 2) expectations about expected benefits of meditation practice for physical, emotional, mental, spiritual, and social health; 3) respondents' overall health status, occupational stress, and presence of one or more common health conditions; 4) demographic characteristics, practice location, and current involvement in research; and 5) preferences about type and format of meditation training, willingness to be randomized in comparison studies, and willingness to collect biomarker data. Answers were multiple choice and provided space for respondents to make comments.
Because the purpose of this study was to describe nurses' experiences and attitudes, data analysis relied on simple descriptive statistics. The anonymous data were downloaded from Survey Monkey into an Excel spreadsheet and exported to SAS version 9.1 for analysis.
This study was approved by the Wake Forest University Health Sciences Institutional Review Board (IRB).
Subject characteristics
Between April 15, 2010 when the survey was approved by the IRB and June 30, 2010 when enrollment was closed, 342 nurses responded to the survey, of which 96% were women. Most (92%) were Caucasian, 4% were African American, 2% were mixed/other, 1% were Latino, and 1% were Asian. Most (63%) were more than 45 years old, and 80% had been in practice for 10 or more years. Most (62%) were registered nurses (RNs), nurses with masters or doctoral degrees (33%), or nurses' aides, licensed practical nurses (LPNs) or licensed vocational nurses (LVNs) (5%). Respondents lived in all major regions of the US designated by the National Health Interview Survey (NHIS): 58% from the southern US, 17% from the northeast, 11% from the west, 4% from the midwest; and 11% were Canadians.
The respondents practiced in a variety of settings: 36% practiced in academic health centers in inpatient settings, 26% in academic ambulatory settings, 19% in community outpatient or ambulatory settings, 11% in community inpatient settings (including long-term care, nursing homes, and hospice), and 9% in other settings.
Most (91%) nurses reported having excellent (20%), very good (41%), or good (30%) overall health. Of the 73% who reported one or more health conditions, the most common were anxiety (49%), back pain (41%), GI problems such as irritable bowel syndrome and reflux (34%), and depression (33%) (Table

Preferences for Training and Willingness to Participate in Research
Over 90% of nurses reported interest in receiving additional mind-body training. When given choices between in-person or electronic training methods, the most commonly chosen was in-person (45%), followed by DVD/CD/MP3 (37%), with webinar (18%) as the least preferred training method. However, convenience was cited by 74% as being essential or very important in choosing a future training program. The time required to complete training (58%), time required for daily practice (60%), and being able to train at one's own pace (58%) were also essential or very important in choosing training. Getting to know the instructor, the teacher's or program's reputation, and the scientific evidence for a program's effectiveness were all less important (Table

NOTE: Responses included -- not at all important; somewhat important; moderately important; very important; or essential. For simplicity, this table lists the percentage of respondents who reported very important/essential (combined).
Although most (65%) of those willing to enroll in a research-related training program were also willing to be randomized, 35% had such strong preferences for type or format of training that they were unwilling participate in a study requiring randomization.
Of potential control interventions for a future study of sitting meditation, those of most interest were yoga or tai chi (52%), massage (46%), and acupuncture (36%). Fewer nurses were interested in control groups featuring advice or education about diet/nutrition (26%), exercise/fitness (27%), or natural health products (24%).
Although nurses primarily expected strong benefits for emotional and spiritual well-being, 84% of those willing to participate in a study were willing to have at least one biomarker collected before and after training to assess the impact of training. Most were willing to have weight measured (62%); collect their own saliva for cortisol measurement up to 4 times daily (60%); have their blood pressure (BP) measured (54%); have an electrocardiogram (ECG) reading to determine heart rate variability (56%); and/or blood drawn for biomarkers (53%).
This is the first study to provide a detailed description of nurses' experience with, expectations of, and preferences for practices and training in mind-body approaches to reducing stress. These factors affect recruitment to, retention in, and impact of mind-body training programs
This study focused on nurses because they are the largest group of health professionals; they often experience stress; and stress can adversely affect their personal health as well as the quality and cost of care they provide. The survey included a large number of nurses practicing in a variety of settings across North America. The results are consistent with earlier studies showing high rates of occupational stress and personal health conditions frequently related to stress such as anxiety, back pain, functional bowel disorders, and depression
These results are also consistent with other surveys in which nurses had positive attitudes about mind-body therapies, were already using one or more of them, and wanted additional training
The choice of mind-body practices to include in the survey was informed by discussion with nurses and included healing touch, therapeutic touch, and prayer as well as meditation, hypnosis, and yoga. A number of training programs teach nurses to provide therapeutic touch or healing touch, which NCCAM currently categorizes as biofield therapies. Central to both therapeutic and healing touch are the practices of centering and intentionally extending calm, caring compassion which appear to reduce stress and improve overall well being among the nurses who learn them
The nurses in this study reported numerous expectations about the expected benefits of mind-body training on physical, emotional, mental, spiritual, and social well-being as well as stress. It was not an intervention study and did not assess the actual impact of any mind-body practice. Nurses primarily expected greater benefits in terms of spiritual well-being (56%), inner peace (54%), or serenity (54%) compared with physical outcomes such as better sleep (42%), immunity (36%), or blood pressure (29%). This information builds on results from earlier surveys in which nurses expected that complementary therapies would be helpful with a variety of physical and mental concerns including anxiety, pain, and insomnia
Over 90% of nurses in this study were interested in additional training despite a high rate of existing practice. The information about factors affecting interest in participation (e.g., convenience and time required for training and practice as more important than established effectiveness or reputation) could help when planning and recruiting for training programs. Furthermore, information about preferences for in-person vs. electronic training methods can assist in planning future interventions.
Although most nurses were willing to participate in research on mind-body training, 35% were unwilling to be randomized, suggesting that a combination of RCTs and preference or cohort trials may be useful. The most frequently preferred comparison interventions (compared with sitting meditation practices) were yoga, Tai Chi or QiGong. Comparing sitting with movement-based meditative practices would be useful because movement-based practices may have additional benefits associated with exercise
As a survey of self-selected nurses, this study has several limitations. Just as only a subset of eligible subjects enroll in evaluations of mind-body training, only a subset of nurses respond to a survey on mind-body practices, so interest and practices in this survey may overestimate experience and expectations in the general nursing profession. On the other hand, the survey specifically sought responses from nurses interested in mind-body training to reduce stress, so it is likely to build a better platform for research recruiting voluntary recruits for studies of mind-body training than studies that ask nurses who may not be interested in stress reduction training. Because nurses were recruited by email, response rate cannot be calculated. The respondents included few ethnic or racial minorities; all had access to email and were able to complete an on-line survey in English, limiting generalizability. One the other hand, the survey was completed by a large number of nurses from diverse geographic locations and practice locations, increasing the likelihood that these results would be meaningful in different settings. This study did not directly assess the impact of mind-body practices, but it prepares the way for comparative effectiveness research on mind-body interventions. As a descriptive study, analyses to determine what factors predict which nurses would be interested in what types of mind-body training were not conducted. This would be a worthwhile question for future research. Finally, additional research is needed to understand nurses' perspectives on mind-body training when provided in the context of mandatory or required courses compared with elective formats.
This study confirms earlier research suggesting that many nurses experience high levels of work-related stress, and many already have personal experience with mind-body practices. The most commonly used practices to manage stress include prayer, breath-focused meditation, and healing touch/therapeutic touch. Nurses expect these practices to have spiritual, emotional, and mental as well as physical benefits; want training that is convenient; and are willing to participate in and collect biomarker data for comparative effectiveness research,. These results inform future projects in mind-body training and research.

They aren't the Schuyler sisters, but they are in love with 'Hamilton'
Courtesy of Brooke Bekoff
Combining two college sophomores, ambition and relentless love of a hit Broadway musical resulted in the start of "Hamilton" memes.
Brooke Bekoff and Sara Shmueli, students at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and Duke University, respectively, founded Meme Me Inside, a meme account on Instagram devoted entirely to the musical "Hamilton." They've known each other since they were in first grade attending the same school.
It started when Bekoff and Shmueli sent "Hamilton"-themed memes to each other throughout the summer of 2016. When they had stockpiled enough memes and saw the potential to create their own, they founded the page in August, Bekoff said.
The account attracted 1,000 followers on the first day it went up, Bekoff said. When the women saw the potential growth of the page, they decided to keep posting. Today, the page boasts nearly 60,000 followers.
Meme Me Inside refers to the song, "Meet Me Inside," sung by the character of George Washington after Alexander Hamilton and his cohorts directly disobey Washington's orders in the musical.
All of their posts are original, Shmueli said. The founders conceptualize and Photoshop all the memes themselves. It's why they said they have so many followers — they aren't simply recycling old posts.
"Everything — the design, the execution — is all on our end," Shmueli said.
The account tries to post every day and if not, every other day, Shmueli said. She added it isn't difficult to make a new post every day because they can communicate and bounce ideas off each other to see what's trending and what works. Even if they can't conceive a new meme for the day, they have a lot of unposted material in reserve that they can choose from, Shmueli said.
The page's following extends beyond fans of the musical. Chris Lee, who plays Marquis de Lafayette and Thomas Jefferson in the Chicago production of "Hamilton," was the first cast member to follow Meme Me Inside. He has since unfollowed the page, Shmueli said.
Ensemble members of the New York cast followed the page, Bekoff said. Christopher Jackson, who originated the role of George Washington in the New York production, follows them currently and Renee Elise Goldsberry — the Tony Award-winning actress who played Angelica Schuyler in the original Broadway cast — liked one of their posts, Bekoff said.
"I think that's my favorite part of the account: Cast members who we admire so much actually look at our content and enjoy our content. It makes me really happy," Bekoff said.
Bekoff and Shmueli sell advertisements on their page to Broadway-centric companies, but have expanded their business model a month ago to include an online store, where they sell original designs on T-shirts, phone cases and coffee mugs. They even sell a red baseball cap that reads, "Make America Ham Again."
"That's how our business started out. From there, we saw the potential to — rather than sell other people's merchandise — why not sell design our own original merchandise and sell it," Bekoff said.
Shmueli said all their merchandise is original and acts as a way to spread their love for "Hamilton" to new audiences.
Meme Me Inside has been brought up in job interviews, Bekoff and Shmueli said. Bekoff said the page's original intention wasn't to become a business or a resume booster, but it's indirectly become one as their fan base grew.
The page transforming into a business brought out each woman's individual working styles, Bekoff said.
"More than anything, it shows we've gained skills to become entrepreneurs. We provided something for the internet and Instagram that didn't exist," Shmueli said.

Heisman Trophy winners, past Husker players return
LINCOLN, Neb. -- A Cornhusker reunion for this weekend's season opener is attracting the famous and forgotten players of Nebraska's past.
Nebraska's three Heisman Trophy winners -- Johnny Rodgers, Mike Rozier and Eric Crouch -- and more than 800 other players are returning to Memorial Stadium for the Oklahoma State game Saturday.
They are holding a party dubbed "Husker Nation Celebration," the largest Nebraska football reunion in program history.
On Thursday, the university unveiled a new area inside the west entrance of Memorial Stadium honoring the three Heisman winners with the dedication of the Nebraska Heisman Room.
The room features the three Heismans on black pedestals. The players' game jerseys are framed and displayed, with videotaped career highlights shown on a plasma screen television.
Rodgers and Crouch, who both live in Omaha, were there for the unveiling with NU athletic director Steve Pederson. Rozier arrived late, due to problems traveling from his New Jersey home.
The Heisman winners called the exhibit a tribute to all the great Nebraska teams and fans.
"The one thing that I'm always going to remember about Nebraska is that the fans are the best and the people are the best," Crouch said.
Rodgers said all players should share in the honor of the display, which he believed unique to Nebraska.
"You don't win Heisman trophies by yourself," he said.
Rozier said the room would be a lasting symbol of the contributions that he, Rodgers and Crouch made to the Nebraska football program.
"I love Nebraska, and I'm glad I came to this school," said Rozier.
The idea of the "Husker Nation Celebration" was to recognize Nebraska's rich history by honoring the players and firing up fans as the Huskers look to improve on a 7-7 season that was their worst since John F. Kennedy was president.
For some players, it is literally a family reunion.
Tom Ruud, who played for the Huskers from 1972 to 1974, plans to be on hand Saturday. He is the father of current Nebraska linebackers Barrett, a junior, and Bo, a freshman.
"I know quite a few of them," Barrett Ruud said of the returning players. "I'm going to try to ignore them until after the game. If I get too worried about talking to those guys, I'll lose focus on what I need to be focusing on."
Pederson developed the reunion shortly after becoming NU's new athletic director, saying he thought it was important to gather past players to recognize the Nebraska tradition of excellence.
"Response to our invitation has been tremendous," Pederson said.
In addition to former players, other notables who are scheduled to attend are Mike Devaney, son of coach Bob Devaney, and former coach and U.S. Rep. Tom Osborne.
Returning players include 41 of 89 first-team All-Americans and five who were on the team in the 1930s.
A private reception was scheduled for Friday night. On game day, each returning player will wear authentic jerseys and parade behind the marching band down Stadium Drive into Memorial Stadium.
Before kickoff, the former players will encircle the field.
Seeing all the stars of years past may help motivate this year's squad.
"I like it. A lot of pressure, too," said sophomore cornerback Fabian Washington.
Barrett Ruud also is feeling the pressure.
"You don't want to show up and play bad in front of them," Ruud said. "I think pressure is a good thing. You should be a little antsy. You want to be scared of making mistakes. That makes me play better."
The former players have won so many games and been on so many championship teams, it will be good for the 2003 squad to be surrounded by them, head coach Frank Solich said.
"There's an awful lot to learn from what guys have done in the past and what they expect guys to do now," Solich said.
Knowing that winning history, personified by the former players, will be on Washington's mind.
"We have to prove to them we can do it, too," he said.

The Bettendorf Parks & Recreation Department is looking for volunteers to serve as park ambassadors to patrol city parks this summer. The ambassadors patrol Bettendorf's 22 parks, watching for vandalism, providing information and directions for park users and access to first aid if needed and acting as "goodwill ambassadors" for the city.
Ambassadors, who wear hats and shirts for easy identification, patrol the parks in vehicles provided by the city and by walking through the parks. They have access to a police frequency radio and 911 so that if a serious situation is encountered, they have instant access to assistance.
Patrol shifts run 6-11 p.m. daily, from Memorial Day weekend through Labor Day. Each ambassador generally works one night a week and are placed in teams of two when possible. If requested, husband and wife teams can be set up or friends can be paired together.
Applications are available at Bettendorf City Hall, 1609 State St., or at the Herbert D. Goettsch Community Center, 2204 Grant St., or by calling 563-344-7170.

After upgrading to Spiceworks v5.1, I noticed that when an end-user replies to a Helpdesk ticket email, the entire body of the email is being displayed/copied in each and every response.
This is creating massively long tickets, and causing delays when loading tickets.
This problem was fixed a few patches ago, but it appears to have returned.
Is there a quick-fix for this?
This topic was created during version 5.1.
The latest version is 7.5.00101.

We're aware some of our users are experiencing this issue (see http:/
- What protocol are you using for Incoming settings in Settings -> Email Settings?
- What client is being used to send email? Outlook 2007, 2010, etc.?
May 4, 2011 at 2:29 UTC
Thank you both for your rapid response.
- The 'Comment Reply Text' was set to strip to begin with, and toggling it back and forth did not resolve the issue.
- I am using SMTP for outgoing email, and IMAP for incoming.
- Our organization is using Exchange/Outlook 2007.
May 4, 2011 at 2:38 UTC
We suspect the problem is caused by POP/IMAP for incoming settings. If you switch your incoming protocol to Exchange, it may prevent the issue from occurring while we get this fixed.
May 4, 2011 at 2:57 UTC
Switching incoming email to Exchange did resolve the issue with the replies.
I was using IMAP for incoming because the Exchange protocol seems to butcher Outlook's auto-signatures. Every space of an auto-signature that Spiceworks receives seems to be converted to a carriage-return instead of a normal space, making the auto-signatures 10-20 lines long on any emails that we receive.
I suppose that this is better than the duplicated response thread text though.
Thank you much!

Also, when using the incoming Exchange mail protocol, the Helpdesk system does not receive any incoming email attachments.

Hi Guys,
Would like to know if this got resolved, I am also experiencing this issue.
Jun 24, 2011 at 4:05 UTC
I'm pretty sure that the June 9th update fixed this issue with the Exchange mail protocol.
I will re-post on this thread if I discover that the issue has not actually been resolved, but everything looks all right so far.

After a few days in the 24-hour casinos, some fresh air and nourishment is a necessity. As a traveler explores Main Street and jumps onto Beach Boulevard, he or she may desire to keep on driving. This drive will inevitably change into a day trip.
The Gulf Islands National Seashore is a collection of barrier islands a few miles from the mainland coast of Mississippi. They can only be reached by passenger ferries and private boats.
However, visitors are provided with a remote shoreline ideal for fishing, hiking. camping, and nature photography. 250 bird species, blue crab, sea turtles and a variety of fish inhabit this seashore preserve.
Since the barrier islands protect Biloxi from the majority of incoming tropical storms, Hurricane Katrina disrupted this verdant sanctuary. Contact the
National Park Service for updates on its current state of recovery.
In the event that the Gulf Islands remain closed or their shifting topographical features are dizzying, drive west on Beach Boulevard to Long Beach and Pass Christian. These beaches offer a more serene setting and wider stretches of sand than Biloxi.
Otherwise, keep driving to Gulfport.
Gulfport can provide a day of pampering at the spa, teeing on an expansive green or throwing residual change into more slot machines.

"God helps those who help themselves" says the popular saying.
In other words, one who anticipates, doesn't gain weight.
Especially if we're going on vacations.
For most, this is almost impossible. In fact, many people find themselves in the middle of a trip with the inconvenience of traveling with extremely tight clothes because they gained weight!
To enjoy your break smoothly (and for the memories of your vacations not to include getting a huge belly) it is essential to prepare in advance and use ingenuity.
Some Ideas to Implement When You're Away from Home:
• If you take a long trip,it is likely you'll get hungry at some point. If you're driving, you'll probably wonder when and where to stop to eat. So take a hand bag with a small container with healthy snacks.
• If you're traveling by plane, take a low-calorie energy bar or whole-grain cookies in your wallet or purse. Always take some sugarless chewing gum with you, it will help you reduce appetite and anxiety.
• Begin your day with energy.Especially if you're staying at a hotel where you can eat whatever you like at the buffet, choose nutritious foods, avoiding excess carbs and fats. Some breakfast ideas: fruit salad, whole wheat bread with white cheese and low fat yogurt.
• Don't skip your snack.It is very common, when you're on vacation, to stay out until late at night. But this has a negative consequence: by the time dinner is served, you are extremely hungry. To avoid this, take a break and have a healthy snack between lunch and dinner. Choose fruit, yogurt, or a vegetable sandwich as snack options.
• Become friends with salads.When we're forced to eat out every night and our budget is limited, it is likely to end at a food court or fast food restaurant. You don't need to spend a fortune to have a healthy meal. Most food chains offer tasty salads. Choose the one you prefer, but don't add a dressing.
• Guide to eat at fast food restaurants.
• Use the refrigerator at your room.Before you go out, visit a supermarket or grocery store and buy some yogurt, fruit, whole wheat bread, low fat cheese, and diet sodas. Besides saving money, you'll be able to prepare your own snacks and take them with you the next day. Remember to take small bags to save your sandwiches and snacks!
• Some ideas to prepare a low-calorie sandwich. http://www.midieta.com/article.aspx?id=20732
Not that you can't enjoy a special treat when you're visiting a new place. It only becomes an issue when these treats become very often instead of an exception to your healthy diet.

Activist Sampat Pal Wednesday moved the Delhi High Court for blocking the release of forthcoming Hindi movie 'Gulaab Gang', which is reportedly based on her life.
Sampat Pal
Sampat Pal formed 'Gulabi Gang', a group of pink sari clad women vigilantes from Uttar Pradesh.
The film, starring Madhuri Dixit and Juhi Chawla as leads, is set for release on March 7.
Sampat Pal moved the high court seeking a restraining order on the release of 'Gulaab Gang', saying the filmmakers did not take her permission before making the movie.
She also sought financial compensation, saying there are certain scenes in movie which will effect her reputation.
Justice Sanjeev Sachdeva, hearing the plea, questioned Pal for the delay in filing the plea.
"Why you approached the court last minute when movie is going to release? Why didn't you come earlier?" asked court, while passing over the case to hear it later in the day and asking Pal's counsel to show judgments related to the case.
The movie, slated for release on Friday, is directed by debutant Soumik Sen and produced by Anubhav Sinha.

Search: Royal Depression
When the Harvard educated Princess Masako married into the Japanese imperial family she lost her independence and her privacy ~ she no longer has a private phone line or money of her own. Stifled by protocol and under pressure to produce a son, she is deeply unhappy, writes Richard Lloyd Parry
IT was obvious from the start that something was not right about Crown Prince Naruhito's press conference. The courtiers of the Imperial Household Agency, unbending in matters of punctuality, had scheduled a three o'clock start. But it was closer to 3.30 pm when the Crown Prince entered the roomful of journalists in the Togu Detached Palace in central Tokyo.
As always, the questions had been submitted and vetted days in advance; the Prince, seated behind a bouquet of seasonal flowers, read his answers from a sheaf of papers. He has made such appearances two or three times a year since his youth, but on this occasion he seemed almost nervous, stumbling over the earnest platitudes which are the staple of Japanese imperial utterance.
He congratulated two other Crown Princes, Frederik of Denmark and Felipe of Spain, whose weddings he was about to attend. He expressed his condolences to the victims of the Madrid bombings. He talked with polite enthusiasm about Portugal, which he was also about to visit. The words were as neat and bland as the Prince's light blue suit and dark tie; until he was asked about the woman who should have been sitting along side him, his wife, Crown Princess Masako.
For the past six months, Princess Masako has been ill; although no Japanese journalist has reported as much, people close to the couple say that she has had a breakdown and been treated with anti-depressants. There has been discreet media speculation about the causes of her illness — the stress of being the mother of a two-year old daughter, perhaps, or pressure to produce an imperial heir (as a female, baby Aiko cannot succeed to the throne). None of the royal reporters present would have dared to put any of this directly; the question was a discreetly vague one about the Princess's "current condition and prospects". And the answer was completely unexpected.
Gone was the habitual indirectness and delicate understatement; Naruhito's answer was full of emotional superlatives. The Princess, he said, "regrets from the bottom of her heart" that she could not travel to Europe. He himself found it "very regretful"; he said that "I feel I am wrenching myself away as I depart". Masako, he went on, had "completely exhausted" herself in trying to adapt to life as a princess. In the past, she had been "greatly distressed that she was not allowed to make overseas visits for a long time". He went on to add — in the sentence which has reverberated through the imperial establishment ever since — "In fact, there were moves which nullified Masako's career, and nullified her character based on that career."
The words were spoken calmly, but it is hard to underestimate the violence of their impact on the rarefied, protocol-bound world of the Japanese imperial household. "I was quite astounded when I heard," said Toshiya Matsuzaki, a veteran royal reporter. "In almost 40 years, I have never heard anything like that."
It has brought to the surface a tangle of tensions that have been developing within the Imperial family over the past 10 years. They originate in the crisis over the succession; after 126 unbroken generations, the world's oldest unbroken royal line is running out of heirs. They raise questions about the Imperial family's treatment of its women, about how it is funded and administered. Most remarkably, they suggest a generational conflict between Emperor Akihito and the son who will one day succeed him. "His remarks were unprecedented," said Minoru Hamao, a former chamberlain to the Crown Prince's household. "He has never shown his emotions like this. The Crown Prince has declared war against the Imperial Household."
The story begins in 1986 when the Crown Prince, then 26, met 22-year-old Masako Owada at a tea party in the Akasaka Detached Palace in Tokyo. She was a graduate of Harvard and Tokyo Universities who had just passed the demanding examinations for the fast track of the Japanese foreign ministry; he was at the age when a Japanese mother would start to worry about a son who didn't have a regular girlfriend. Further discreet meetings took place, several at the British Embassy under the cover of the Japan-British Society. The Prince proposed; Masako politely declined, embarked on her diplomatic career, and soon picked up another degree from Oxford. The Prince, meanwhile, remained single. After further proposals, and discreet arm-twisting by Masako's father, a senior Japanese ambassador, Masako and Naruhito became engaged.
She married him in a Shinto ceremony in 1993, dressed in a traditional 12-layered kimono, amid an atmosphere of happy celebration. Before the wedding, the princess-to-be underwent 62 hours of private tutorials from protocol experts on such matters as how to walk and the appropriate angle of an imperial bow. There were Masako dolls and Masako silk scarves in the shops, and a rash of optimistic speculation about the tonic effect that this young woman would have on one of the most closed, conservative and controlling institutions in the country.
Never had the palace been home to someone as intelligent, educated, and ambitious. Optimists predicted that she would become a role model for young Japanese women, uniting femininity, education and tradition. "If she ends up politely smiling royal smiles," the Asahi newspaper observed, "the Crown Prince's bride will not have been put to good use." From the point of view of the palace, however, Masako's intelligence and education were secondary to her primary task: to provide an imperial heir. Six years passed, with no sign of an imperial baby. In December 1999, it was announced that Masako was pregnant; a few weeks later, she miscarried.
Among the many things known among Japanese royal watchers, but never discussed publicly, is that Princess Aiko's conception a few months later came about as a result of fertility treatment. At the time, any disappointment over the baby's sex was outweighed by relief that the couple could at least have children. It is now widely expected that, in the next few years, the law will be changed to allow Princess Aiko to succeed as a reigning empress. But many legislative and political obstacles remain, chief among these being the vehement opposition of the far-right, and the pressure on 40-year-old Princess Masako is heavier than ever.
In December last year, she formally ceased her official duties; the Imperial Household Agency, the government bureaucracy that runs the Imperial court, reported that she was suffering from shingles, painful blisters caused by the herpes virus and often associated with stress. But conversations with friends and associates close to the couple suggest that she has suffered a breakdown.
Since well before the birth of her daughter, one friend of the couple reports that she has not been herself. Once a keen sportswoman, she seems to have lost interest in exercise. At a party held for her husband's 44th birthday in February, she appeared drawn, and retired after the briefest of appearances. She has consulted specialists and been prescribed with a low-dosage anti-depressant. In April, she spent a month in a holiday home in the mountain resort of Karuizawa with her mother and baby. She suffers from dizziness and headaches, but it is clear to those who know her that the problem is more psychological than physical. She has ups and downs, they say, but is essentially as unhappy as she was six months ago.
What has triggered her depression? There are numerous theories. One rumour among journalists and in Internet chat rooms is that little Princess Aiko has a developmental problem, possibly autism — but in her few public appearances there has been no obvious sign of this. Anxiety about producing an heir must also be great, especially after the IHA's Grand Steward, Toshio Yuasa, told reporters, "I strongly wish for one more child."
But the biggest reason may be no more than loneliness. Palace insiders describe a life of quite extraordinary human isolation. Apart from their intermittent official appearances and occasional breaks at a handful of country and seaside villas, the couple rarely leave the Togu, the central Tokyo palace reserved for the Crown Prince and his household. Even in their own home, the couple rarely entertain. IHA security rules make it impossible to invite people over on the spur of the moment; the couple do almost no regular socialising, outside their immediate family. Naruhito and Masako do not even have direct phone numbers of their own — calls must be made and received by courtiers to be transferred to the Prince or Princess, if appropriate.
The vast grounds of the Tokyo palaces can never be leased or sold; the family possesses no jewellery or art collections or race horses. The Princess has made only a few overseas trips — the reason given is that onerous official business is a distraction from the task of conceiving a future emperor. And even if they wanted to escape on a private holiday, they do not have the financial wherewithal. They carry all the burdens of royalty, without any of the perks.
For Masako, brought up by cosmopolitan, multilingual parents in the USA and Japan, this is stifling. It is an open secret that her mother-in-law, Empress Michiko, suffered a nervous breakdown in the 1960s after snobbish treatment from her aristocratic mother-in-law; in the early 1990s she lost the power of speech for several months after another collapse. Gossip — again unsubstantiated — suggests that the Empress may not have the best of relations with her own daughter-in-law.
Imperial courtiers reported that Emperor Akihito was "surprised" by the Prince's recent remarks. Privately, they wondered why he didn't come and talk to them about this. At the very least, his remarks suggest an extraordinary breakdown in communication between the parents and their son and daughter-in-law. "Masako has become an Imperial drop-out," said one royal newspaper reporter. "To be blunt, she is hostile towards the Emperor and the Empress, and is waiting for them to die. It sounds horrible and shocking. But this is the truth of what's happening inside the Crown Prince's household and the public doesn't know about it."
Scrutiny of their press conferences reveals that they have been hinting at their unhappiness for a while. Eighteen months ago she spoke of the effort of adjusting to a life without foreign travel. In February he said outright that pressure to have an heir had made her ill. Royal watchers speculate that the couple were pinning their hopes on travelling together to Europe soon. When the IHA insisted that Masako could not go, it was the last straw.
The Crown Prince's aides, the theory goes, prepared a draft of his more innocuous press conference answers. Then, at the last minute, he added the anguished lines about Masako —hence the delay, as the courtiers pleaded with him not to go ahead. Who knows what cuts and compromises were made behind the scenes in that half hour?
"Masako and the Crown Prince are communicating with the Emperor and the Empress through the media," said one royal reporter. "This is an extraordinary situation. I don't think this is good for them and their future." But of the 700 e-mails sent to the IHA after the press conference was televised, most expressed sympathy with the Prince and anger with the bureaucrats.
What will come of the showdown is anyone's guess. The institutional stubbornness of the IHA cannot be underestimated. On the other hand, Japan has a Prime Minister, Junichiro Koizumi, devoted to reforming the country's sclerotic financial and political institutions — so why not its monarchy too? Most importantly, it has an Emperor in waiting who is prepared to take unthinkable steps to protect his wife.
"Masako-san," Naruhito famously said when he was wooing her, "I will protect you for my entire life." This month, after 11 difficult years, he has kept his promise.

This Is No Ordinary Retirement Home. This Is Unlike Anything You've Seen Before. Just Wait For It…
Unless you have been living under a rock for the entirety of your existence, you are probably well aware of the existence of the retirement home. They provide a safe sanctuary for seniors during their golden years, allowing them to age gracefully and receive the help that they need on site. But did you know that retirement homes are not just for seniors anymore? In fact, there are now rest home for our furry friends who are in need of tender, loving care as they reach old age. Don't believe us? Take a look at this clip from a dog retirement home in Gaithersburg, Maryland. They are truly dedicated to ensuring a restful stay for all of their clients.
This doggy retirement home provides a place to stay for at least two dozen elderly dogs. A team of volunteers is on hand to make sure that all of these dogs' needs are met and it is truly heartwarming to see such selfless people taking the time to ensure that these dogs' twilight years are spent in total comfort and safety. How many times have you been out and about, only to see an old, sad dog who clearly no longer has a home or people to love them? If you're anything like us, it breaks your heart every single time that you catch a glimpse of it, without fail.
That is why it is so great to see clips these, where people are allowing themselves to make a true difference in the lifespan of an animal, in a manner that is completely selfless. These workers are volunteering their time out of the goodness of their heart, not for fifteen minutes of fame or monetary gains of some kind.
No matter what these dogs need, they are attended to, in a manner that is not only professional, but also loving. Older dogs require more help to get through each day than their younger counterparts and having a staff on hand that recognizes this reality makes a world of difference.
We absolutely loved this clip to pieces and you certainly will too! Be sure to share it with all of your fellow animal lovers on Twitter, Facebook and all other social media hubs of choice.

text: Universal Power Group, Inc. (NYSE MKT: UPG), a Texas-based distributor and supplier of batteries and related power accessories, and a third-party logistics provider, today announced the signing of a lease for a distribution center and corporate office in Coppell, Texas. With the signing of the lease, UPG will relocate its corporate headquarters from its current location in Carrollton, Texas when that lease expires in March 2013. Universal Power Group will be the sole tenant of the 208,800 square-foot building strategically located near the DFW Airport – one of the fastest growing submarkets in the Dallas-Fort Worth area. The location provides for easy access to major highways for truck traffic and the airfreight hub at DFW. "We are excited to be moving to our new facility as it will mark a significant improvement in efficiencies compared to our current facilities," stated Ian Edmonds, UPG's President and Chief Executive Officer. "As we continue to execute growth initiatives, the new location provides for greater warehouse, distribution and operating efficiencies, greater energy efficiencies and improved operating costs. Being located in a major industrial business center will allow us to attract stronger talent and also facilitates travel for our customers and employees as we grow." Although the new facility has a slightly smaller footprint than the current location, it allows for increased overall capacity through improved layout, greater racking capabilities and office spaces to accommodate current sales and operating personnel with additional room for expansion. When considering the effects of lease payments and facility improvements, management believes that the overall cost of the new facility is comparable to the current facility while offering much greater capacity and operating efficiencies. As part of the Company's initiative to increase its efficiency and reduce its carbon footprint, UPG is currently in the process of qualifying as an "Energy Star Partner." Built in 2000, the new facility is more energy efficient and will be equipped with a new R-20 roof and T5 lighting, which will reduce operating costs and decrease carbon emissions. Also as part of the lease agreement, the landlord will be upgrading a number of items including the offices and exteriors, and the installation of fans in the warehouse to enhance the performance of the heating and cooling systems. In total, the landlord has agreed to provide these improvements at a total cost of approximately $1 million, the cost of which will be amortized over the term of the 10-year lease.

The US-based Be International Group is making a foray into the Indian advertising industry by setting its fully-owned subsidiary company. Floating two new divisions in advertising and media buying and planning — Be advertising and Media pros — the Be International Group has already set up offices in Delhi and Mumbai.
Mr Devraj Basu, Head of Be Advertising said, "In spite of the fact that we have set up offices in the two metros, all this time we have been servicing domestic companies in the international markets. Now we are looking at servicing the Indian market, and have already bagged some accounts."
Handling accounts for clients such as HDFC and Raymonds, Be Advertising has been doing work for Indian companies wanting to build their brands in the international markets.
Setting its sights on the domestic industry, Be Advertising has already managed to bag the creative accounts of smaller companies such as JK White Cement, Elite Modelling and Param International.
Explaining as to why Be International decided to set up operations in India, Mr Basu added, "There have been opportunities unfolding in the last few years and so much has been happening in the industry."
The US-based company presently has 34 offices across the world, out of which 12 are wholly-owned subsidiaries, including the one in India. Set up in 1997 in the US, Be International had humble beginnings starting its operations out of a garage.

Well, surprised! Yes, it seems Power Star Pawan Kalyan is going to dazzle as a director after the disastrous Jhonny in Tollywood. It seems he is going to involve himself with Sampath Nandi and writer Sridhar Seepana (Loukhyam fame). Don't you feel wow? As we all know Pawan Kalyan has bowled many hearts by his acting skills, his human nature and now even with direction skills. His craze is proudly called as Pawanism and he now proudly presents himself as a director too.
Fans says "It would be rocking entertainer and Pawan would be prove himself as a perfect commercial filmmaker with Gabbar singh 2 and silence his detractors". According to sources, Pawan is keen about directing Gabbar Singh-2 and is taking the project as a prestigious one. He is spending time with the writer Sridhar Seepana and Sampath Nandi inorder to make the script the best one.
He is also involving himself in choosing characters in the movie. However, Pawan's debut directional movie did not really work well and so the questions about his direction are yet to be analysed. Will he be able to be a block buster film-maker? Can he repeat the Gabbar Singh magic?

NY-bound flight reports laser in cockpit, says official
Posted April 19, 2010, at 5:57 a.m.
NEW YORK — A JetBlue Airways official says the pilot of a New York-bound flight reported what appeared to be a laser directed into the cockpit of the airplane.
JetBlue spokesman Morgan Johnston said Sunday the plane landed safely and the incident was reported to air traffic controllers. The pilot was unhurt.
Johnston says Flight 607 from Portland, Maine, was on approach to JFK on Saturday night when the pilot noticed the laser coming through the window. The flight landed around 8 p.m.
The Port Authority of New York and New Jersey, which operates the airport, says police are investigating.

So I made Rebecca Rather's White on White buttermilk cake last night but after the layers cooled they were about 1 inch high and was as dense as one of those Lemon bars. This is embarrasing to admit, but when the cakes came out of the oven, the tops had a little dome so I pushed them down gently, the way I do with box mix cakes. Do you guys think that cause them to be so small and dense? I thought since these cakes would be layered and fondanted there would be compression anyway so gently pushing the top wouldn't matter. Any thoughts?

A couple of weeks ago, my friend Emily invited me to the "Pleasures of Frutti di Mare", a seafood cooking class at Cicchetti. It was the first class being taught by their new Chef (Josh Green), and I found it particularly appealing because the previous night I had attempted a pan-seared cod and I'm pretty sure I did it wrong. Tasted fine, but my technique sucked.
I was the first person to arrive and claimed a seat at the counter. The main floor had been rearranged so that the nine guests could be seated in two rows, but if the front row turned around, they'd be sitting around the second row's table. Does that make sense? It was so nice to just swivel on our stools and be face-to-face with the people who were behind us, and essential because we were able to enjoy our first dish (freshly shucked oysters) together, seated as one party.
Each place was set with a booklet that included the class agenda, what was to be demo'd and plenty of space to take notes. The last few pages included actual recipes so that we could attempt to recreate the dishes at home, though I am pretty sure I will just leave it to the professionals. Above us, a mirror was positioned so that we cook look up and see what was happening on the counter.
Once everyone was seated and had a glass of wine, the Chef got started. First, he demonstrated how to properly shuck oysters, emphasizing that they should really only be shucked about 20 minutes before they are going to be eaten. If you're going to throw them on the grill (really!? I didn't know you could do that!), they need about 6-8 minutes to pop open.
After indulging in plenty of freshly-shucked oysters with a shallot mignonette (so tart and fantastic), we moved on to our second course. The Chef put two large Dungeness crabs into a pot of water that was flavored with wine, lemons, onions and harissa, my absolute favorite spice (buy it here). When they were done about 10 minutes later, we learned how to take apart the body of the crab and how to crack the legs and claws just enough so that if you were to serve crab at a party, you wouldn't need all of the fancy tools to take the meat out of the shell. The crabs were ultimately served with some freshly grilled Columbia City Bakery bread and a cocktail sauce that was included in our recipe packet. Simple and delicious.
Our next course was salmon! The chef brought out a massive fish and demonstrated how to properly de-bone (use needle-nose pliers!) and fillet the fish and how to tie a salmon steak. He put three skillets into the 800 degree wood-burning oven with just a little bit of oil, sprinkled a dill pollen spice rub onto the fillets and then placed them directly into the hot pans and returned them to the oven. A few minutes later, he pulled them out and served the fish on a bed of a white bean and arugula salad.
Finally, the Chef Josh threw a bunch of mussels into another hot skillet and put it directly into the oven so that they started popping open just from the heat. The most important thing about mussels is to make sure that they open fully before you eat them. If they don't, it's probably because they were dead before you tried to cook them and they'll make you sick! The mussels were served with a lemon wedge in another no-fuss display of how simple can truly be the best way to get the most from your seafood.
The main technique from the class that I feel I can replicate at home was how to cook and shell the crab, and I honestly could have eaten that cocktail sauce by the spoonful, it was so good. The overarching lesson was that it's important to establish a good relationship with your fish purveyors because they will help to ensure that you get the freshest ingredients and that's the number one step to creating a successful dish. Visit Taylor Shellfish in the Melrose Market, Pure Food Fish Market in Pike Place Market or Mutual Fish on Rainier for your future seafood needs.
Many thanks to Chef Josh for the great class and wonderful food, and to Emily for inviting me to attend! It was the PERFECT way to spend a couple of hours on a Saturday and I can't wait for the next class!

Glenveagh National Park 1
Posted by Hatka Hatnaa Posted on 2:41:00 PM
Ireland's second-largest National Park at 14,000 acres, Glenveagh is County Donegal's number 1
attraction, drawing hikers and fishermen from all over the country. While you're taking in the mountaintop views, enjoying afternoon tea in the 19th century Glenveagh Castle or fishing for salmon and trout in the glittering lakes, keep a lookout for the park's rare wildlife. The formerly extinct Golden Eagle was reintroduced to the park in 2000 and they share their habitat with Ireland's largest herd of red deer.
