The likely tenants for the Olympic Stadium following the 2012 Games, West Ham will become the first club to become multi-purpose, Manchester City deciding to remove the track following the 2002 Commonwealth Games.
Despite West Ham's optimism over the stadium's future, AEG, Tottenham's partners, believe that keeping the track would be an economic disaster. Tim Leiweke, AEG's president, said this week that "it would be broke in 10 years."
Take a glance at those stadia currently housing both football and athletics and there are reasons for concern. Since 1996, major clubs in Europe are increasingly moving to football stadia only, citing falling attendances, sight line problems and pitch re-laying difficulties.
In Italy, a law currently being drafted by the Italian Football Federation will see clubs able to take out loans to finance moves. New stadia have been mooted for Cagliari, Milan, Palermo and Rome – the Stadio Olimpico is, though, the centrepiece of the 2020 Olympic bid. Juventus are one step ahead and will move to a new football-only stadium next summer.
In Germany, the process has been going on since the turn of last decade. Schalke 04 moved to Veltins Arena in 2001, SV Hamburg rebuilt Volksparkstadion as the Imtech Arena while Stuttgart are currently converting Gotlieb Daimler Stadion to Mercedes Benz Arena, moving in next year.
Bayern Munich's move from the Olympic Stadium to Allianz Arena reveals some telling statistics, which formed part of Tottenham's bid process. Namely that the Bundesliga club increased attendance by 28 per cent following their move in 2005 and average attendances have been over 68,500.
Elsewhere on the continent, Dutch giants Ajax moved to Ajax Arena in 1996 while Spanish side Espanyol moved from Estadi Olimpic Lluis Companis to Estadi Cornella El-Prat two years ago.
Hammers should look at Sweden's rock ...
... The Stockholms Stadium
Built for the 1912 Summer Games, Swedish outfit Djurgarden play in front of 14,417 but, importantly, the ground still retains the athletics track. The venue consists of a horseshoe double-tier stand, sweeping around three sides of the stadium, leaving the historic Olympic stands still much in evidence.

Mining Publication: Partial Cab Video and Information Suite
Original creation date: August 2007
A drilling worksite has many health and safety hazards. Drillers can see tripping hazards and dust, but may not realize that the noise around a drill rig can cause hearing loss. Over the course of a career, exposure to sound levels above 90 dB can cause noise-induced hearing loss. The sound levels while hammer drilling can reach 110 dB. At this sound level, a driller would be overexposed to nice in 30 minutes according to OSHA and MSHA regulations. To reduce drillers' exposure to noise, NIOSH has developed a partial cab for surface drill rigs without cabs. NIOSH research shows the partial cab can reduce sounds levels at the control panel by as much as 9 dB. This video is part of a suite of information on building the partial cab from ordinary materials in a standard shop. Full instructions are available from the link below.
This suite is a downloadable ZIP file containing multimedia presentations and documents.
Instructions for Viewing the Information Suite:
- Download and extract the ZIP file below to a folder on your hard disk.
- Select and run the pptview.exe application in that folder.
- From the file list, select and open Partial_Cab_main_menu.ppt.

Investor anger is flaring against a small Calgary oil and gas company that unveiled dramatic changes this week contrary to the wishes of some shareholders.
Shares in Connacher Oil and Gas Ltd. plunged after the heavily indebted company announced on Wednesday it was firing a raft of senior executives, abandoning a search for joint-venture partners and boosting its spending plans. The news was met with selling, with Connacher down as much as 20 per cent Wednesday.
Shares bounced back Thursday amid expectations that activist shareholders will begin to shake things up. Indeed, some believe the company has set itself up for an imminent confrontation with investors, who had hoped it would pursue the exact opposite strategy: pare spending, pay down debt and seek either new partners or a sale.
It is a "complete and radical change in strategy from what the street was expecting," said Eric Nuttall, who runs an energy fund for Sprott Asset Management.
Analysts, too, attacked the plans, with Scotia Capital releasing a piece reacting to Connacher's announcement entitled: "The Ok, the Bad and the Ugly."
For its part, Connacher says it needs to spend more to grow, and is predicting a 15-per-cent increase in 2012 oil output, and more in 2013. Company chief executive officer Richard Gusella said in an interview that the announcements this week are part of "catalytic changes in order to accelerate the realization of our growth and objectives."
Yet it's not entirely clear how the company will get there. An expansion of the $37-million spending planned for 2012 has yet to be approved by the Connacher board. The company has $112-million in cash, plus another $98-million on a credit line, but must pay back $100-million in convertible debentures in June.
Connacher is among the most heavily leveraged in the entire oil patch – some believe it sits in top spot, with debt exceeding cash flow by 7.5 times. Its shares, which crested at $4 in 2008, have traded in penny-stock territory since last August, which has sparked demand for change.
Among Connacher's shareholders is Toronto's West Face Capital, which has been unafraid to publicly brawl with companies and has urged a "comprehensive review of strategic alternatives," language often used to describe a corporate sale. Several other investors have sent letters calling for an "outright sale" of the company.
Late last year, some shareholders worked to find their own leader to replace Mr. Gusella. One shareholder warned that "there's very strong investor activism that's going to be coming in the next couple weeks."
Many of those involved with the company – as shareholders and otherwise – are hoping they can still change it. That has made them reluctant to anger Connacher by speaking out publicly.
But privately, they have criticized Mr. Gusella's personal commitment to the company's well-being over his own.
They point out that on his 70th birthday Mr. Gusella is eligible for a $2-million payout and 400,000 stock options – irrespective of company performance. The CEO is now 67.
Mr. Gusella responded: "I work seven 12's, and I don't get the second week off." His "business ethics" are "impeccable," he said.
As for the departed executives – who have left a substantial gap in the company's technical leadership – Mr. Gusella said he "terminated" them because "they didn't fit into my plans moving forward." The company's board, he said, supported the move.
But there is little doubt that the changes represent a substantial shakeup. One of those fired, Peter Sametz, was named president in mid-2010 as part of the company's succession plans. Now that role has fallen back to Mr. Gusella, who said "that succession plan is off the table."
He added: "I'm looking at Freedom 85 now. I'm not planning to retire any time soon at all."

According to recent reports, Saudi Arabia will be changing its weekend from Thursday-Friday, to Friday-Saturday, bringing the country in line with other countries in the region, which will help to coordinate business and banking days. Friday will remain a holiday, in line with other countries that set aside the day for communal Muslim prayer. The royal decree is said to be taking effect this week.
Saudi Arabia was only the member of the six-member Gulf Co-operation Council to maintain old Thursday-Friday format. The move comes after Oman's recent switch to a Friday-Saturday weekend.
In 2007, Saudi authorities rejected a similar proposal, until continuous lobbying by the Saudi business community was finally been accepted.
The new weekend will create a far more harmonized and streamlined trading structure between Saudi and regional business hubs, such as Dubai.
As reported by the BBC, Saudi King Abdullah described the move as taken 'for the sake of putting an end to the negative effects and the lost economic opportunities consistently associated with variation based on work days between local departments, ministries and institutions and the regional and international counterparts."
The change will make it far easier for Saudi businesses to trade with r Western businesses as well, as they will now have four working days in common. According to Bloomberg News, analysts estimate that the change of weekends could lower the cost of doing business in the Kingdom by as much as half.

Big K.R.I.T. Interview
|Big K.R.I.T.
|Next Project:
|K.R.I.T. Wuz Here
|Big K.R.I.T. on Twitter
|Big K.R.I.T.'s Website
During the years that DJBooth.net has been in operation, we've already helped to launch the careers of quite a few up-and-coming rappers who now seem destined to write their names on the pages of history. Hoping to become the next in that illustrious line is Big K.R.I.T., a multi-talented Meridian, Mississippi native (and exclusive freestyle series contributor) with aspirations of taking his place among Southern legends like Outkast and UGK as a musical "King Remembered in Time."
Released yesterday and available for free streaming and download, DJBooth.net-sponsored street album (and the artist's Cinematic Music Group debut) K.R.I.T. Wuz Here does just as the title suggests, marking the 23-year-old emcee/beatsmith's arrival as a major player on the national scene. Produced entirely by the artist himself, the project comes complete with reader-acclaimed leaks "No Wheaties," "2000 and Beyond," "They Got Us" and the Devin the Dude-assisted "Moon & Stars," and includes guest contribution from several of K.R.I.T.'s CMG labelmates.
In an exclusive interview with our own DJ "Z," Big K.R.I.T. steps into the Booth to discuss the transition from small-town life to the major leagues, how a PlayStation game (along with the guidance of friends) helped him make his entrance into the production game, and the cereal he considers his "Breakfast of Champions." (No, it isn't Wheaties).

Big K.R.I.T. Interview Transcription
DJ Booth: What's goin' on, everybody? It's your boy, "Z," doin' it real big, and joining me inside the DJ Booth is a native of Meridian, Mississippi who has taken the Booth by storm over the past five months with six highly-rated features and an exclusive DJBooth.net freestyle. Please welcome my man Big K.R.I.T. – how you doin'?
Big K.R.I.T.: Ahh! [imitates cheering] Man, I'm doin' good, doin' good.
DJ Booth: Thank you so much for joining me inside the Booth.
Big K.R.I.T.: No doubt. I'm glad to be here, know what I'm sayin'?
DJ Booth: And I'm glad that you're glad to be here, so we're all good. At 23 years old, it's not that long ago that you were just a kid with some big dreams of making it in the music industry. Has music always been the only career option that you've considered, or was there an alternative, growing up, that still might be an interest of yours in the back of your mind today?
Big K.R.I.T.: Nah, it's music man, pretty much one-hundred percent. I played ball and sh*t, but I feel like I'm too old to be tryin' to be out there competing. It's pretty much rappin' and producin'. I always had a passion and a love for music and the art form and composing it, and it's really all I saw myself doin' at 12 or 13. And I've been goin' strong and tryin' to make this sh*t real, you know?
DJ Booth: You mentioned 12. I read that's when you actually started rapping. You put together your first mixtape when you were 18, and now here in 2010, at 23, you're on the verge of releasing the biggest project of your career to date, K.R.I.T. Wuz Here. Not having heard any of your material from back in the day, 'cause you haven't shared that with me, describe the progression of your sound, style and your skills, as both an emcee and a producer.
Big K.R.I.T.: I mean, really just finding my own lane, not trying to be like anybody or sound like anybody or what the industry wants as far as radio records and stuff like that. Really just doin' me, and prayin' and hopin that people feel the vibe that I give off. You know, speakin' my own lingo, reppin', just things that I know from the perspective of being a Mississippian, that some people might be like, "Well, damn! I never knew that," about bein' country or whatever. And even the production is growing musically, trying to make it all intertwine – the music, the cadence, combining dynamics to the record, where it's not just the same loop over and over again. Really bringing a track to life. You know, it's not rare that a rapper used to actually be the producer, and in any case I get to make exactly the type of beat I want, and all of it vibe and blend together. It took a while to finally find my voice, and the type of hooks I want, and bein' able to sing on records sometimes. It's crazy. I'm just glad that people are really gonna see the progression, if you did hear my music back in the day, to what I've got now, it's crazy.
DJ Booth: It's interesting that you mention the dynamic of someone who both produces and records himself. One of the biggest complaints that I read from members at our site is that the production work on our featured songs doesn't always fit the emcee who's spitting over it, and I guess that makes sense because they got the beat from somebody else. Since you produce almost all of your own material, and you're not being restricted creatively by some suits at a major label, you've never fallen victim to this constructive criticism. So, is it easy crafting beats to suit yourself, or does this process actually make you more picky and indecisive?
Big K.R.I.T.: It's definitely a picky thing. In my case, I try to make a broad range of beats for myself. Sometimes I'm more critical of my music, so it takes me a week or two weeks to really mix a record down and feel like it's perfect. Sometimes when you work with other producers, you get a track, you rap on it, and that's it; with me, I have a lot more time to sit down with the beat and just vibe out, and try to come up with the perfect concept for it. In some cases it's easy, though. If I wanna make a conscious record, then I know I'm finna make a conscious beat, and I'mma give it this kind of vibe, and I'mma make it this kind of tempo. Most artists don't get the opportunity to really craft the song. The beat is the base of it all, you know what I'm sayin'? It's important to really be able to vibe out.
DJ Booth: I couldn't agree with you more. I read that you actually began producing 'cause you couldn't afford to buy beats from local producers, so you figured, "Why not do it myself?"
Big K.R.I.T.: Why not make it myself? Yeah. 'Cause, it looked easy enough!
DJ Booth: [laughs] Yeah, right!
Big K.R.I.T.: You know, back then FruityLoops was boomin', and the first thing I actually made beats on was Playstaion. I'm not sure if you're familiar with the MTV Music Generator?
DJ Booth: Oh yeah, absolutely.
Big K.R.I.T.: That sh*t came out, and I was like, "Damn, I can make beats on Playstation for $40? Let's do it!" 'Cause people were charging $200, $300 where I was from, and I was like, f*cking 13, 14. I couldn't pay for that. Boom – I started making beats on MTV Music Generator, we would pre-record 'em into my dad's tape recorder, and we'd karaoke that sh*t. And that's really where it all started.
DJ Booth: Did you have a mentor or any guidance from friends who knew production well, or did you seriously just teach yourself from scratch?
Big K.R.I.T.: When it came to Music Generator, that was me just f*ckin' off. Like, I'm just trying to figure this out. But when it got to more complex things, like Reason, MPs and stuff like that, I had a dude named Freaky T out in my hometown, that really put me onto a lot of it as far as production was concerned, samplin' and EQing. And I really just watched what he did, and tried to duplicate an aspect of how to format a record and stuff like that. And I had my partner who had gotten an ADAT machine, Money Black, and he was like, "Hey cuz, I'm reading this book. You need to be around me while I'm learning this, so you can learn it." So I had people who were mastering just their section of music – a dude that only wanted to mix and a dude that really just made beats, and I'd go over to their cribs and I'd learn from them. Me bein' a rapper, I'm learnin' from different sections of the game, and I had the opportunity to have real good teachers.
DJ Booth: Well, you were a good student, because the proof is in the pudding, so to speak.
Big K.R.I.T.: [laughs] Yeah, definitely, definitely.
DJ Booth: [laughs] You mentioned influence, obviously, on the production side, but let's talk about on the rapping side. In several of your DJBooth features, I described your sound as directly influenced by a few of the greatest Southern rap pioneers ever, Outkast and UGK, and I know that those are both direct inspirations for you. Now, some artists, K.R.I.T., they tell me that their musical influences provided the drive that they needed to pursue their career, while others claim that those influences actually made them realize that they were destined for greatness. Do you fall into one, both, or neither of those categories?
Big K.R.I.T.: Man, wow… I would have to say… both? Bein' from the South and seein' people from the South doin' it, all this is gonna give you the drive to do it, like, "Man, maybe I can do this." 'Cause they're tellin me, "If you work hard enough, you can do what I'm doin'." That's not to say that you'll be on the exact level of them, or you'll have the same amount of success, but at least be in the same ring, or play in the major [league] or get some kind of notoriety, you know? They definitely encouraged me. I still examine and use them today. Like, I loved the golden era – Outkast, UGK – on a level of just doin' you. 'Cause these artists, they didn't give a f*ck what you think – they did them. And it kind of opened my mind to, like, "If I just be country, stay true to what I believe in and what I like and what I like to rap about, I'll find a fanbase and they'll accept me for me and it'll grow over time."
DJ Booth: Well, it's interesting that you said you still listen to their older stuff today, and I think that is the mark or, should I say definition, of good music. 'Cause if you can listen to it 10, 15, 20 years after it was made, it's timeless.
Big K.R.I.T.: Oh, it must be. If I throw on Marvin Gaye right now, it's gonna have the same effect on me that it had when they was playing it. It wasn't someone who didn't know what they was talkin' about telling you "Do this, do that;" we're just gonna go ahead and jam out, you know?
DJ Booth: Exactly. And that's apparent to me, because when you decided on the name "K.R.I.T.," I read that it stands for "King Remembered In Time." Clearly, you were very aware of the fact that you would like your music to be long-lasting as well as your legacy. Now, did you consciously think about how long that time would be – five years, 50 years – or did you just think, in the end, when all's said and done-
Big K.R.I.T.: Yeah, [when it's done]. In the end, when it's over and the curtains close, they're gonna respect me and remember me as the king of what I did. If you don't feel like you're the best at what you do… you've gotta believe in yourself first and foremost.
DJ Booth: K.R.I.T., according to the last census, which now is a decade old, the population of your hometown is only 39 thousand and some change. So, being that you hail from such a small city in the South, has all the hustle and bustle, so to speak, of the industry and what's going on in your career now, being in major cities like New York, overwhelmed or stressed you out?
Big K.R.I.T.: A little bit. Like I said – you come from our city, where you know everybody. And I'm from a place where the Southern hospitality is real. Like, you're walking down the street, you don't know this person, and they're gonna turn to you and say, "What's up?" It's a very friendly environment, in a way. You go to other places, real big cities, and people don't really speak to each other, they really kind of just do their own thing. Because you're so much of a stranger that motherf*ckers really can't trust you. So it was that, and the competition level. There are a certain amount of rappers in my city, and you know them, and you work with them; you go to other places, it's extremely competitive, so you've kind of gotta fight your way to the top. You've gotta compete and be willing to take the criticism, and go places you haven't been before, out of your comfort zone. 'Cause I'm from, again man, the country.
DJ Booth: It's like getting dropped in a much bigger fish tank, but making everyone aware in that fish tank that you're going to continue to swim the way you always swam.
Big K.R.I.T.: Exactly. And make them love what you do at the same time.
DJ Booth: Well, that unwavering attitude will definitely take you places. As you mentioned earlier, the title of the new project that obviously everybody's excited about, K.R.I.T. Wuz Here, from this I assume you mean that with this release, you are officially making your mark.
Big K.R.I.T.: Definitely. And reminding people, letting the folks that passed me over know, "Hey, I'm still around. You remember me!"
DJ Booth: [laughs] But being that you're so young, do you get the impression that people in your past believe your time has already come and gone?
Big K.R.I.T.: Ah… not really. I guess because I never had the opportunity to have the platform which most artists get, the million-viewer platform, the one song on the radio. I never really had that opportunity, it was all underground, I'm grinding, I'm grinding, and I making noise amongst the people who are in the offices, but not amongst the normal people that just come to your site, DJBooth.net. Like, "Who is this artist?" So now I'm starting to get the real listeners of music, and not so much the business aspect of it all.
DJ Booth: If this project makes the type of impact that I think both you and I know it can make, and are hoping it can make, forecast for me the next seven months. What do you hope to accomplish by the end of 2010?
Big K.R.I.T.: Man… the strongest fanbase you've ever seen. With the team behind me, I'm sure it's going to be lovely, and really bringin' back that feel that people used to have for music. Like, when you hear it, it's like, "I've just got to listen to it again," and it does something to you, versus a factory line where you listen to it [and go on] to the next thing. Just bring that whole [feeling] back – the sh*t I miss as far as music is concerned.
DJ Booth: You're not the only one – we all miss it. Now, we are aware of the fact that you are not a fan of Wheaties, and neither am I.
Big K.R.I.T.: [laughs]
DJ Booth: But since breakfast is undoubtedly the most important meal of the day I assume that that doesn't stop you from indulging in other options. I'm a fan of oatmeal, raisin toast and maybe a banana. What does Big K.R.I.T. like for breakfast?
Big K.R.I.T.: [laughs] Man, Cinnamon Toast Crunch, cuz! I ain't gonna lie – that sh*t's so boomin'! It used to be Cap'n Crunch, but that sh*t will tear the roof of your mouth up!
DJ Booth: Here's the important question: is that with skim, 1%, 2% or whole milk?
Big K.R.I.T.: [laughs] Two percent, cuz.
DJ Booth: Two percent? You've gotta drop it down. Skim or 1%'s is the healthy choice, come on now.
Big K.R.I.T.: Hey dog, when I go, I see that red top, I know what I'm gettin'. This is the milk for me, and I'll rock with this.
DJ Booth: If it ain't broke, don't fix it – I understand completely. Give everybody some more information, how they can find out more about your music, your projects, and everything you have coming up.
Big K.R.I.T.: Oh man, May 3rd K.R.I.T. Wuz Here is dropping, it's hosted by DJ Folk and Wally Sparks, my Cinematic Music Group debut. You can get at me at twitter.com/bigkrit.
DJ Booth: Absolutely. Well, I thank you so much for taking the time to join me inside the DJ Booth for an interview and, as always, nothing but the best of luck.
Big K.R.I.T.: Man, I appreciate the opportunity.

Credit unions talk a lot about their philosophy of people helping people, which they are humbly proud of.
Credit unions can form a CUSO to provide services aimed at helping credit unions comply with federal regulations, according to a legal opinion from NCUA Associate General Counsel Sheila Albin.
Designed to connect with credit unions and CUSOs locally, NACUSO will kick off its regional meeting series March 10 at Northwest Federal Credit Union in Herndon, Va.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 6 (UPI) -- Voters across the country went to the polls Tuesday to choose state and local officials.
In Virginia, Democrats are trying to oust the GOP from the governor's mansion and beat back the slim Republican majority in the House of Delegates. Former Democratic Party Chairman Mark Warner, a self-made millionaire from vote-rich Northern Virginia, has led former state Attorney General Mark Earley throughout the campaign, which has been overshadowed by the events of Sept 11.
Voters also will pick a lieutenant governor, a new attorney general and elect 100 sate delegates, with Republicans favored to expand their two-vote majority following contentious redistricting.
In New Jersey, the governor's mansion and control of the state legislature are up for grabs. State Sen. Jim McGreevey, making his second run for governor, has led throughout the fall, sometimes by as much as 19 points. The GOP is expected to lose control of the State Assembly, which it has held for close to 10 years while the outcome of the State Senate is up in the air.
Voters in several cities will choose new mayors.
The marquee contest Tuesday is the race to succeed Republican Rudy Giuliani as mayor of New York City, who couldn't run again because of term limits. Following a last-minute endorsement by the mayor -- and former Democratic mayor Ed Koch -- Republican Michael Bloomberg has surged in the polls. Exit polling now shows him close to the Democrat, Public Advocate Mark Green, suggesting that late-deciding voters are breaking from their predicted behavior. If Bloomberg wins, he becomes the first Republican to succeed a Republican as mayor of New York.
In Houston, the nation's fourth-largest city, Democrat Lee Brown is attempting to win another term as mayor. Republicans have put a lot of work into the campaign of City Councilman Orlando Sanchez, an Hispanic who appears positioned to force Brown into a Dec. 8 runoff.
In Detroit, the non-partisan contest between Kwame Kilpatrick, the leader of the Democrats in the state House, and Gil Hill, president of the city council, may be close. Surveys have shown Hill closing the gap to within a couple of points in the last days of the campaign. Meanwhile, a move by state elections officials to require that questionable absentee ballots be examined by hand caused the counting of those ballots to stop, potentially delaying the final results by several days.
Voters in Cincinnati, which has been rocked by racial violence in recent months, must choose between incumbent Mayor Charlie Luken, backed by the Democrats, and Courtis Fuller, a popular television anchor running under the Charter Commission banner. The racial divide in the city is mirrored in the relatively non-partisan race as Luken is white and Fuller is black. Turnout was reportedly robust, which could spell trouble for Luken.
The reaction to the Sept. 11 terror attack may play a role in determining the outcome of the non-partisan mayoral race in Dearborn, Mich., where incumbent Mayor Michael Guido, in office for 16 years, is facing a stiff challenge from Wayne County Prosecutor Abed Hammoud, a Lebanese immigrant. Arab-Americans make up more than 20 percent of the total population of Dearborn.
Seattle voters, still in shock over the 1999 riots against the World Trade Organization and the loss of Boeing, one of the city's largest employers, turned out incumbent Mayor Paul Schell on primary day. Now, they must choose between City Attorney Mark Sidran and City Councilman Greg Nickles, both Democrats running in a non-partisan race.
In St. Paul, Minn., State Sen. Randy Kelly and businessman Jay Benavav are running to succeed incumbent Mayor Norm Coleman, a Democrat-turned-Republican who is the likely GOP candidate next November against incumbent Democrat U.S. Sen. Paul Wellstone. Coleman remains immensely popular in the city, casting a long shadow over both Kelly, whom he has endorsed, and Benavav.
In Minneapolis, Minn., longtime Mayor Sharon Sayles-Benton, who benefited from a campaign visit from former Vice President Al Gore in one of his few political forays since the presidential election, is facing a tough challenge from R.T. Ryback, a former local journalist and entrepreneur.
And in Miami, incumbent GOP Mayor Joe Carollo is one of 10 candidates on the non-partisan ballot. The top two vote getters -- and polling indicates that Carollo might not be among them -- face off against each other in a run-off next week.
There are also a number of propositions on the ballot attracting attention including a Washington state effort to limit property tax hikes to 1 percent per year and several anti-special rights for homosexuals efforts in Houston, Miami Beach, Fla., Traverse City, Huntington Woods and Kalamazoo, Mich.
And New York voters are being asked to approve a measure making the state's constitution gender neutral.

Frozen Shoulder
July 9th, 2004
In march I started getting a ache in my shoulder. Then started to get swelling in my shoulder blade about the size of a baseball. After two weeks I went to my dr, and he had me go to pt for 2 weeks. Which did not good. He ordered an mri and had me go to an orthopedic specialist. After the specialist looked at my mri, he said my rotator cuff was torn and that I had to have surgery, he explained the surgery, and said it would be 12 weeks before I was good as new. Said I was not going to be able to do anything with my arm for the first 6 weeks. I asked him about the swelling in my shoulder blade and he said it would go away after the surgery. Well...I had the surgery, 3 months ago now, and I still have severe pain in that arm, and I still have the swelling in my shoulder blade, although, it is not as bad as it first was. I can't seem to get many answers from my dr, who after 5 weeks signed a release for me to go back to work 4 hours a day. My last dr appt, I finally got him to talk a bit to me and he said my shoulder is freezing up, and that he had to either give me a shot of cortisone, or put me to sleep and unfreeze it. My question...Should I have the injection?? Is that just a temp. Fix? And what is going to keep my shoulder from freezing up again after he puts me to sleep and unfreezes it?? Can anyone help. I am at the end of my rope here. Any answers would very much be appreciated.

Are you still seeing the pt? If so, and if the pt has taught you a stretching program that you are diligent with, then a cortisone shout could be of some help. However, if you don't work on your range of motion, any improvement from the cortisone will likely be temporary.

Re: Pt
Yes, I have been seeing a pt since 3 weeks after my surgery. I still have the cpm machine that lifts and turns my arm as well. I do the therapy here at home when I don't see the therapist, and even when I do see him, I still have 2 more times a day that I do the excercises. My dr ordered another mri this past week. He thinks everything is in my head and that once I see the mri myself and see that nothing is wrong, i'll be just fine...He seems to think I am having some kind of a mental block that is freezing up my shoulder. Which I think is the craziest thing I have ever heard of...But as long as my wc will ok the mri, I am going to have it done.
Thanks for your reply

This morning I went to the gym and ran some errands as I normally do. But, today was a little different. Today the wind chill was -20 degrees Fahrenheit. Booo!!!
I'm not a fan of the cold, at all! I'm convinced I was born in the wrong part of the world. I've always envisioned myself moving to a tropical paradise, like an island in the Caribbean. For now, however, I'm trying to make the most of my frigid midwestern paradise. 🙂
Although it's freezing outside, this recipe for tropical salad with coconut chicken and pineapple vinaigrette is definitely warming my spirits. It's absolutely gorgeous, tastes amazing, and reminds me of the warm tropical beaches I covet.
This salad has chopped lettuce, sliced veggies, pineapple rings, and baked coconut chicken tenders. And, it all gets coated in a pineapple vinaigrette made from pineapple juice.
Tropical Salad with Coconut Chicken and Pineapple Vinaigrette
For the Coconut Chicken Tenders
- 2 large eggs
- 2 tsp. garlic powder
- 1 tsp. salt
- 1/2 tsp. ground black pepper
- 3/4 cup panko bread crumbs
- 3/4 cup shredded sweetened coconut
- 1 lb. chicken tenders
- cooking spray
For the Pineapple Vinaigrette
- 1/4 cup pineapple juice (from the canned pineapple in the salad)
- 2 tbsp. extra virgin olive oil
- 2 tbsp. red wine vinegar
- 1 tbsp. honey
- 3/4 tsp. salt
- 1/4 tsp. ground black pepper
For the Tropical Salad
- 6 cups chopped romain lettuce
- 1 (20 oz.) can sliced pineapple rings in 100% pineapple juice
- 1 medium avocado, peel and seed removed, sliced
- 1/4 medium red onion, thinly sliced
- 1/2 cup grape tomatoes (about 12)
- Prepare the coconut chicken tenders. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Spray a large baking sheet with cooking spray.
- In a wide shallow dish, add the eggs, garlic powder, 1 teaspoon salt, and ½ teaspoon black pepper. Whisk until well combined. In a second wide shallow dish, add the panko breadcrumbs and shredded coconut. Stir to combine.
- Dip the chicken tenders in the egg mixture, coating both sides. Lift the chicken out of the egg and allow the excess to drip off. Place the egg coated chicken into the coconut mixture. Press the coconut mixture into the chicken ensuring that all sides are completely coated. Place the coconut coated chicken on the prepared baking sheet. Discard the excess egg and coconut mixture. Spray the tops of the chicken tenders with cooking spray.
- Bake on the middle oven rack for 12-14 minutes, until chicken is cooked through and coating is crisp and light golden brown. Cool for 5 minutes before serving.
- In the meantime, prepare the vinaigrette. Pour ¼ cup of the pineapple juice out of the can of sliced pineapple rings into a small bowl. Add the rest of the vinaigrette ingredients to the bowl. Whisk until well combined. Store covered in the refrigerator until ready to serve. Whisk or shake well before serving.
- Assemble the salad. In a large serving bowl, add the lettuce. Top with 8 pineapple rings, the sliced avocado, sliced red onion, and grape tomatoes. Add the desired amount of vinaigrette to the salad and toss until the salad is well coated.
- Top the salad with the coconut chicken tenders. Serve immediately.

The Obama administration has found itself on the defensive over the botched Obamacare rollout and allegations of National Security Agency spying against allies.
But President Obama, fresh off the shutdown fight, is going on the offensive over immigration reform, seeing a chance to further split already-divided Republicans and boost Democrats ahead of the 2014 midterms.
Obama has urged lawmakers to deliver a bill to his desk by the end of the year.
A bipartisan Senate bill passed earlier this summer, but efforts in the House stalled with Judiciary Committee Chairman Bob Goodlatte, R-Va., opposing a comprehensive bill and Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio, vowing to only push legislation backed by the GOP caucus.
The White House insists Obama "firmly believes" immigration reform can pass and the president is pushing his case.
Republicans, though, are skeptical of Obama's commitment to negotiate with them on immigration, charging him with trying to score political points with Hispanic voters.
Sen. Marco Rubio, R-Fla., has said chances to pass a comprehensive immigration reform bill this fall are all but dead and cited Republicans' "lack of trust" in Obama as the reason.
"The notion that they're going to get in a room and negotiate a deal with the president on immigration," Rubio said on Fox News Sunday after the government shutdown ended, "is much more difficult to do." Rubio said Republicans simply don't trust the president to follow through with his end of the bargain.
Any immigration deal Rubio and other reform advocates, such as Rep. Raul Labrador, R-Idaho, cut with the White House would likely hinge on offering illegal immigrants already in the country a path to citizenship in exchange for tougher enforcement of existing immigration laws. But Republicans, Rubio said, don't believe Obama will make good on those enforcement provisions.
Obama, though, has little incentive to drop his immigration push even if Republican lawmakers are unmoved by his appeals.
Democrats know immigration reform divides the GOP, with business groups led by the U.S. Chamber of Commerce facing off against a core group of conservatives in the House who want to see tougher border enforcement before accepting measures they deride as granting "amnesty" for illegal immigrants.
Boehner must contend with an aggressive group usually aligned with the GOP that wants to see a comprehensive immigration bill passed. An unusual coalition of business executives and evangelical leaders held a lobbying blitz supporting a major overhaul of the nation's immigration laws on Capitol Hill this week.
The sponsors included the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, the National Immigration Forum, FWD.us — a political action group established by Silicon Valley executives including Mark Zuckerberg, the founder of Facebook — and the Partnership for a New American Economy, which is led jointly by New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg, and business leaders Rupert Murdoch and Bill Marriott Jr.
A large homemade sign at Washington Reagan National Airport greeting those immigration reform proponents earlier this week reflected the intra-party tension on the issue. "Welcome phony conservatives here for the fly-in," it said.
Business groups threaten to withhold financial support to Republican lawmakers they see as blocking progress on a comprehensive immigration bill.
If fundraising dries up and minority voters blame Republicans for immigration inaction, Democrats could have an advantage in several key House races next year.
Two of the most vulnerable House Republicans, California Reps. Gary Miller and David Valadao, are trying to protect seats in heavily Hispanic districts, along with fellow Californian Rep. Jeff Denham and Nevada Rep. Joe Heck.
At the same time, Democrats are trying to defend a number of Democratic incumbents in swing districts with a high percentage of Hispanic voters, including Arizona Reps. Ann Kirkpatrick, Ron Barber, Kyrsten Sinema, and California Reps. Raul Ruiz, Ami Bera and Scott Peters.
Immigration-reform advocates, though, caution that Hispanic voters expect Washington to act and will be attuned to any political gamesmanship by either side.
"Latinos and Asian voters especially in the targeted districts are watching this debate very closely," Ali Noorani, executive director of the National Immigration Forum told the Washington Examiner.
"They will know if a Republican member is fighting for immigration reform but they will also know if Democrats are just playing politics with immigration reform."

Bexarotene topical can harm an unborn baby or cause birth defects. Do not use if you are pregnant, or if you are a man and your sexual partner is pregnant. Use at least 2 reliable forms of birth control while either sexual partner is using bexarotene topical. Keep using 2 forms of birth control for at least 30 days after treatment ends. If you are a woman, you must have a negative pregnancy test before you start using bexarotene topical, and you should start the medication on the second or third day of a normal menstrual period.
Stop using this medication and tell your doctor right away if you become pregnant, if you stop using birth control, or if you miss a menstrual period.
Before using this medication, tell your doctor if you are allergic to bexarotene, or if you have liver or kidney disease. Avoid taking a vitamin A supplement without your doctor's advice. Use only the amount your doctor recommends.

I received a catalog in the mail stating that Simply Be is "now in the US." Great, never heard of them but the clothes in the catalog looked fantastic. They were a little pricey but I thought I'd treat myself to a couple of pieces.
Free shipping, you say? Fantastic! 20% new orders? Even better! The only thing they left out is the international finance charge that will hit your credit card along with the duty you have to pay at the post office. I ordered four items (~$200 with discount) and paid almost $50 in duty and international financing charges. Are you kidding me?!
When I finally picked up my package (after shelling out the duty at the post office) I took it home to hope it was all worth the trouble. I was wrong, wrong, wrong, wrong! The clothes looked awful compared to how they looked in the catalog. The material was flimsy. Out of four pieces, I only kept a poncho.
Horribly disappointed. For all of the money I spent (and duty money I'll never get back) I expected WAY more. The company also needs to be more upfront about the duty charge. I found it buried in their website.
My message to Simply Be? Go back to where you came from!

First Look: Lara Stone Replaces Madonna as Spring 2010 Face of Louis Vuitton
>> As rumored, Louis Vuitton chose to go with Lara Stone for Spring 2010, rather than bring Madonna back for her third consecutive season. Antoine Arnault, Vuitton's communications director, explained: "After two seasons with such a huge star, Marc [Jacobs] decided to take a breather and work with a model — and not just any model. It's the choice of a new supermodel."
Steven Meisel, who took over the Vuitton campaign three seasons ago from longrunning Vuitton photographers Mert Alas and Marcus Piggott, captured Stone surrounded by doves (perhaps carrying on a thread of his Fall 2009 Lanvin campaign with Kristen McMenamy in the midst of black cats). Arnault described the six images, which break in February magazines, as fresh, summery, whimsical, young, and optimistic.
UPDATE: More images can be seen here.

MIAMI – (CBSMiami.com) – It sounded like the cries of a child coming from inside a parked van.
But Miami police say what they discovered were eight roosters, four guinea hens, four pigeons, four goats and one duck in distress inside a van left behind by two men in the parking lot of Northwest 37th Avenue and 7th Street Monday afternoon.
Police charged Raul Armenteros, 46, and James Arroyo, 44, with 22 counts of animal cruelty after police were dispatched to the area after passersby reported noises coming out of the van.
Inside, police found four goats "tied up inside plastic bags" with one of the goats dead. About 45 minutes later, Armenteros and Arroyo arrived on the scene and both said they owned the animals.
Instead, police arrested the two men and both were held in Miami-Dade County Jail on $110,000 bond each.
"All the animals in the van appeared to be in distress and lacking of water," police wrote in their report.
Animal control responded and recovered the animals.

It's going to be another gorgeous June weekend. With that being said, do you find it hard to find time to knit with so many activities going on? Do you wish you had more options to make your "passion portable?"
Guess what, you're in luck, because today I'm sharing tips for how to make this happen!
Follow these 3 tips, and you'll definitely make your knitting passion portable this weekend:
Tip #1 Always have a knitting bag ready to go with at least one project.
Tip #2 The project you take should consist of an easy-to-memorize stitch pattern so you're not fixated on your pattern. If you do your friends will think you're ant-social!
Tip #3 Choose a one, or minimal-skein project so your bag does not take up much space–the goal is to be a "stealth knitter," so you can knit at a party or at the park– and one will even notice!
What steps will you take today to make your knitting passion portable?

My Nonprofit Reviews
Review for Sunwork Renewable Energy Projects, Milpitas, CA, USA
SunWork's Operations Director, Reuben, is compassionate about solar, an excellent teacher and an effective leader. I have been through the training and have helped on at least 4 jobs. Some of SunWorks volunteers come from Classes at Skyline College. This includes me and at least 3 or 4 others who went on to employment in the Solar industry. SunWork fills a void in the Solar Industry as a non-profit that focuses on helping low energy users and other non-profits go solar while promoting; Environmental Health, (by producing power from the sun vs coal or other non-sustainable fuels), and Economic prosperity along with Social Equity, (by providing hands-on training to individuals looking for a career in the Solar Industry. Tell your friends about SunWork!!

text: Just ran across your forum and I'm really glad I did. I'm fairly new to grilling but have had a blast doing it. I bought a big green egg on the forth of july and made ribs straight out. They actually turned out pretty good. From there I've done Pizza, pulled pork, pork and beef ribs, salmon, burgers, steaks and my latest challenge a beef brisket. I'm hoping to gain some knowledge from some of you on techniques, rubs and general grilling skills. Look forward to getting to know y'all. Brett

Got an image you'd like to see in here first thing in the morning? Send it to firstname.lastname@example.com. Subject: Morning crap
Because, readers, you've once again failed to deliver a suitable interesting morning photo so I can start my day the usual way (Grape Nuts, juice, semi-nude toe stretching) you're forced to endure this image of a young woman attempting to wrestle a pig. Pig wrestling, if you will. A practice that's extremely cruel and reflects poorly on society, according to one pig sympathizer.
While these activities may seem harmless on the surface, it only takes a moment to see the real cruelty involved. This particular family fun event consisted of children chasing around terrified pigs, slathered in mud, with the objective being to stuff the animal into a basket.
(PHOTO: Evansville Gleaner)
You know what else is cruel? Soundgarden breaking up.
So good morning to those who get mystified.

Shares of OVTI fell by 3.69% or $-0.73/share to $19.06. NASDAQ is trading at a price to book ratio of 1.26. This indicates that the shares are relatively cheap compared to book value which means the market is pricing in going concern value. The PEG is 0.54 suggesting that the shares are trading at an excellent value relative to firm's growth rate. The price to sales ratio came in at 0.76. Hence, the firm is extremely cheap relative to its top line sales figures. On average, 1010520 shares of OVTI exchange hands on a given day and today's volume is recorded at 404215. These financial metrics combined make this company seem undervalued. Lookout for any takeover chatter or takeover news regarding this stock as one of the bigger players may have an eye on this one.

Unless the producers want to do a shocker tomorrow and put Mya and Joanna in the bottom 2, I think it'll come down to Aaron or Kelly, with hopefully Aaron going home. I don't think there's anything wrong with Kelly, she just can't compete with Donny or the judges pets, Derek and Mya.
Of course I'm still skeptical Mya and Joanna are doing so well in the fan votes, but Joanna redeemed herself with the paso.

Good News Ladies, We'll Get Equal Pay in About 118 Years
It's time for a little good news, the kind of good news that you can pass down to and your grandchildren and your great-grandchildren. According to new estimates from the World Economic Forum (WEF), it will be 118 years before women across the globe will achieve pay equality. A legacy, indeed.

Delivery mode and the course of pre- and postpartum depression
- 917 Downloads
- Citations
To compare depressiveness scores, both during and after pregnancy, with the delivery mode (DM).
In a longitudinal, prospective study, standardized questionnaires for the Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale were presented to 1,100 women and used to assess the presence and severity of depressiveness at three time points: prenatal, from the 30th gestational week (Q1); 48–72 h postnatal (Q2); and 6–8 months postnatal (Q3). The patients were divided into four groups relative to DM: spontaneous delivery, primary cesarean section (CS), secondary CS, and assisted vaginal delivery. The final number of participating women with both delivery mode and depression information for all three time points was 753.
There was a significant difference of the mean EPDS values between the spontaneous delivery and primary CS groups (P = 0.04) at Q1 (5.1 vs. 6.3). None of the other comparisons was significant. Significant differences relative to DM were seen at Q2 (P < 0.0001), but there were no significant differences between the patient groups at Q3 (P = 0.54).
DM only showed coherence with the extent of depression briefly during the peripartal period. A relationship was found between depressiveness during pregnancy and DM, with higher depressiveness scores in the group of patients undergoing primary CS. This should be taken into account when patients requesting an elective cesarean section are being counseled.

S.O.H. Is an organization I would refer to ladies/women of all ages. Momma Jackee (founder) & my lovely Sister Gwendolyn (Executive Director) are 2 aspiring women, using their personal life experiences, to bring out the best in people and inspire to chase their dream. These ladies lead by example to young women and girls. S.O.H. is known for their mentoring, encouragement, guidance, and much more. This organization teaches girls how to be young respectable young ladies, how to love themselves and others, helps one to enhance their professionalism, and how to balance work/life issues. The only reason I rated this organization as a 4 star is because they have more in store and being a 5 could mean they have nothing more to give & have reached the top but S.O.H. will always have something to give and I know they will start touching young ladies all over the WORLD.

The space saved is devoted in part to Douglas' personal life, including the rather novel relationships with his final three wives, whom Douglas neglected to mention...
