A Personal Trainer Can Guide You To Fitness In Berkeley
There's no reason for anyone to miss all the wonderful things there are to do in Berkeley, just because they're too out of shape and tired. Fitness in Berkeley is easy to attain, especially with the help of a personal trainer. If simply don't have the energy to hike the trails at Tilden Regional Park or enough stamina to climb the rock or walk the stairs at Indian Rock Park to see a magnificent view at sunset, you're missing out on a lot that life has to offer. A personal trainer can help you build stamina and strength.
You can lose weight faster with the help of a personal trainer.
It's sad to say, but people still judge others by the way they look. No matter how hard you work, your boss might not notice if you're carrying more weight than you should. A survey given to doctors showed that they often felt overweight people were lazy and they should know better than that. Just imagine how uniformed people must feel. A personal trainer can help you lose weight by helping you make lifestyle changes, which include eating habits and exercise. Exercise speeds up weight loss by burning more calories and building muscle tissue that burns more calories than fat tissue does, even when you're not exercising. Soon, your confidence will soar and you'll soon feel the respect from those around you.
Eliminate stress with the help of a personal trainer.
Not everyone wants to lose weight or build the perfect body. Some people simply want to feel less stress. Stress can take a terrible toll on a person's body and spirit. A personal trainer can help you burn off the hormones that stress creates with an exercise program. He'll also provide a healthy diet plan that can reduce stress with healthy eating patterns. You'll feel renewed and invigorated each time you workout and find your energy level grows and the effects of stress no longer plague you.
Restore your spirit through a guided exercise program.
Building your strength and stamina, while losing weight or simply getting healthier, can boost your morale. Exercise helps lift the spirits in other ways too. It invigorates you and some studies show regular exercise can help lift depression. If you've ever felt self-conscious about your body because you didn't think it looked good enough, exercise can change all that. You'll feel differently about yourself and find you're more confident. Accomplishing exercise goals can give you the confidence to set new goals for other areas of your life, as well.
Exercise increases the body's production of antioxidants, which fight free radicals that can cause cell death.
Exercise keeps you looking younger. It can increase the number of times cells divide to keep you looking younger and increase your energy so you'll feel and act younger too.
You'll reduce the risk of many severe illnesses or conditions with exercise, such as heart disease, high blood pressure and diabetes. It even helps prevent dementia and osteoporosis.
A personal trainer not only creates an exercise program designed specifically for you, but also adjusts the program as your fitness level improves, so you'll always be challenged and working at your maximum ability.

I write this from my breakfast table looking out over Clifden Bay.
Like most gigs, I wasn't sure what to expect from this Irish American Wedding. The Bride and Groom were Candian/ American and many of the guest were Irish, hailing from Dublin and Limerick mainly.
The playlist was varied and after setting up some music for during the dinner, I eventually managed to get my gear near the dancing area.
I headed back to the Guest house, 'Rossaroe' and rested after the drive and stress of trying to set up.
The guests were late getting into the dining room so I knew I had time on my side.
When I arrived back, another DJ had set up. Wtf??? There was no drama and he left.
I started the music at 10 and played until 12.30. An early finish compared to the Mansion gig on Dawson street the previous night.
I did the first dance for the bride and groom, the father bride dance and the mother groom dance. The groom said to 'break it down' so I launched into ' This is how we do it', Montell Jordan.
Party on! The intimate dancefloor was packed all night and the tunes flowed beautifully.
I hung out with bridal party afterwards and was entertained by the groom and his college friends singing barber shop and do opps.
I was emotional leaving the venue at 2am. The effort of driving from Dublin and all the toing and froing was worth it. The bride and groom were happy and I did a great gig. I needed a boost.
Call on 0863148403 to make an enquiry.
The pictures are not great quality. You get the picture though.

1. Introduction
The Joint Programme on Establishing Effective and Democratic Water and Sanitation Management in Mexico to Support the Achievement of the MDGs (the Programme) aimed to improve the integrated management of water in peri-urban and rural areas of Mexico to help achieve the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) with regard to water and sanitation (W&S), and to combat poverty from the standpoint of environmental sustainability and gender equality. The Programme adopted a gender mainstreaming strategy focused on the institutionalization of gender units in key water-related public institutions and the promotion of women and civil society involvement in water management. It has led to increased democratic water governance, transparency and participation of civil society in the integral management of W&S, with special emphasis on women's participation.
2. Initial Situation
Mexico is reaching the overall MDG goal related to water access (89 per cent of population), yet there is still a large share of population that has no access to this resource in the quality and quantity necessary. In rural areas, especially in indigenous communities, there are thousands of marginalized and isolated localities with almost five million Mexicans not having access to water at all. Additionally, rapid urbanization in the main cities of Mexico is causing informal settlements with difficult access, no services and infrastructure and exposed to hydro-meteorological risks.
In Mexico, municipalities are the entities responsible for water access. However, their management and financial capacities are very weak, especially in poor areas. Furthermore, most institutions in charge of water access place a strong emphasis on infrastructure development, paying less attention to social participation issues.
Progressive realization of access to safe and affordable water for all is crucial for poverty eradication, women's empowerment and the protection of human health. Reduced time, health, and care-giving burdens from improved water services give women more time for productive endeavours, adult education, empowerment activities and leisure. However, water resource use and management is highly gendered in Mexican society. While women are mostly responsible for domestic and community water, sometimes carrying the water for several kilometers, most water-related rights and decision-making are conferred to men. The Programme was put in place to improve population access to water, while increasing women's participation in water management and mainstreaming gender in water-related policies and institutions.
3. Objectives
The Programme aimed at improving the integrated management of water in peri-urban and rural areas of Mexico, from the standpoint of environmental sustainability and gender equality. The Programme focused in three states in the south of the country: Chiapas, Tabasco and Veracruz, characterized by high levels of social and economic deprivation, a significant proportion of indigenous population and high vulnerability to weather phenomena.
4. Key Actors
The Programme was implemented by eight UN Agencies: ECLAC, FAO, UNIDO, UN-Habitat, PAHO, UNESCO, UNODC and UNDP.
Strategic alliances were established with water institutions, gender institutes, civil protection units and institutes for public information at state level.
Civil society organizations, indigenous representatives, women groups and networks were active contributors to the process.
5. Strategy
The Programme adopted a dual gender strategy: on one side, a gender mainstreaming approach aimed at integrating a gender perspective in all Programme actions and, on the other side and simultaneously, specific interventions focused on women's empowerment and gender equality. Following are the three main axes of intervention:
Gender-sensitive Diagnostics on Water Management
The elaboration of the diagnostics followed a participatory approach that included: five workshops per state (for a total of 356 participants), 266 interviews with key informants and 139 questionnaires 139.
Workshops were based on the methodology proposed by the Women's Blue Agenda, developed and applied by the Gender and Environment Network since 2006. The aim was to identify women's and men's needs and challenges related to water access and management, from a gender and ethnic perspective.
Institutionalization of Gender Mainstreaming in Water-related Public Policies and Institutions
The institutions in charge of gender issues in the three states were sensitized and strengthened to extend their mandates to environmental issues, such as water and disaster management. At the same time, sector institutions responsible for water management, access to public information and civil protection were provided with technical assistance and training to integrate gender and intercultural approaches into their work.
The Programme promoted citizen's involvement in water management. Several tools were developed to sensitize and train civil society organizations on social participation and transparency, including the Citizens' Guide to Inclusive Participation in Water Management and the With Information All Win — A Guide to Know Your Right.
Women's Participation in Water Management
In several rural localities, local committees for water disinfection management were created and household based safe water systems were installed. Each process of installation was accompanied by a comprehensive strategy to foster women's participation in the management of the system.
6. Progress and Results
Gender-sensitive Diagnostics on Water Management
Three participatory diagnostics, one per state, were published under the title Water and Development: Local Agenda for Gender Equality. The diagnostics offer targeted and meaningful information on the issues of water, sanitation, gender and ethnicity in the three states. They present sex-disaggregated data on water situation in urban and rural areas, their availability, their uses and the vulnerability and hydro meteorological hazards. They also include information on women's political involvement, economic and labour market participation, maternal mortality, health, education and gender-based violence.
These diagnostics came to fill the previous gap on disaggregated data and analysis related to water access in marginalized communities. They have been used to support evidence-based advocacy action, as well as basis for the design and implementation of the Programme interventions in the communities.
Institutionalization of Gender Mainstreaming in Water-Related Policies and Institutions
Gender issues have been effectively integrated into the agenda, policies, strategies and plans of key sector institutions. Some of the main achievements are:
- The Veracruz Women's Institute has increased its budget dedicated to water management issues.
- The Tabasco Water and Sanitation Commission has created a permanent gender focal point position and has regulated gender parity in local water management units (UDESAS).
- In Chiapas, gender areas have been created in both the Water Institute and the Civil Protection Unit.
- The Institute for Public Information in Chiapas is replicating the methodologies developed to promote women and indigenous participation in 23 municipalities of the state.
Women's Participation in Water Management
Several safe water systems ("water kiosks" and household based systems) were deployed in a number of rural communities of the states of Tabasco, Chiapas and Veracruz. These innovative facilities, for their simplicity and low maintenance, are a good example of sustainable solutions that are easily manageable by the community.
A local committee manages each safe water system. At present, women are the majority in these committees. Some of the water systems have become local microenterprises. Their impact on women's economic empowerment is still to be analysed.
In Sitalá, in the state of Chiapas, the water system is managed and operated by a group of midwives. Fifteen individual safe water systems have been installed in the midwives' houses, serving for both domestic and childbirth attending purposes. The systems were installed in collaboration with the Comprehensive Services Clinic -part of the Sanitary Jurisdiction of Ocosingo and Casa Materna. Thanks to the safe water systems, midwives no longer have to invest time and energy in fetching water. Additionally, the need for wood to boil water has decreased significantly, meaning less time, effort and respiratory complications. Midwives are coordinated with local authorities, which is a key factor for sustainability.
7. Lessons Learned and Challenges
- Gender analysis is an essential tool. Differences and inequalities between women and men influence how they perceive and participate in water use and management. Understanding gender roles, relations and inequalities can help explain the choices women and men make and their different options.
- Community involvement is essential for the sustainability of the services and investments done in the water management sector, as well as to trigger behavioral changes in relation to water use and conservation.
- Community representation is always an issue. The term 'community' is often used as if it represents a homogenous, clear and defined structure. In actual fact it conceals a range of vested interests in terms of economic position, ethnic status, gender balance and age. It is of paramount importance to approach communities considering these complexities and to not fall back on false assumptions. Participatory gender diagnostics revealed differentiated women's and men's needs and interests.
- The role of local and regional authorities is essential to provide the required political, financial and practical support to water management local initiatives. While local communities usually perceive the advantages of cooperation, they frequently lack the financial resources, the technical skills, the expertise or the access to the relevant information to reach an agreement and put it into practice.
8. Sustainability and Potential Application
The strategy of sustainability put in place by the Programme is based on the institutionalization of gender units in key water-related public institutions and the promotion of women and civil society involvement in water management, as well as the installation of safe water systems based on appropriate technologies.

We've been to the Dentist (another filing for me WTF!) and am pleased to say none of my kids have filings. I'm hoping to get them to 16 without any - they don't have sweets very often and have no fizzy drinks so fingers crossed. We had a new stripey stair carpet fitted to go with our hall and landing make-over. Although the stripes didn't match at the top so they're doing it again. I didn't even notice!
The kids went to crazy golf with granny and grandad, crazy splash with me (which made me want to sleep from 3pm onwards), track cycling club, park, more crazy golf, cinema (The Nut Job - okay film but wait for it to come out on DVD) and cyclo-cross.
|Cyclo- Cross Bike - pic Google Pics
My son took part in his first competitive cycling race. If you go onto the British Cycling website it details all 'Go Ride' competitions which are meant to be a taster into competitive riding which anyone can turn up for. Its a great idea and one so happened to be near us. He doesn't have a cyclo-cross bike which is essentially a road bike with sturdy tyres so he took his mountain bike. He didn't come last but nearly! He was in gear 4/5 for the best part of the course. I think the excitement and what not of it all made him forget that he does actually know how to ride his mountain bike and to change the gears depending on terrain. This course was huge and they had to do 2 laps - the more experienced youth riders did 3.
It was very hilly and I reckon 4 miles in total. He was exhausted by the end but I was so pleased he didn't give up and to my surprise he wants to repeat the "brutal" course again next week at a different location. I'd imagine a cyclo-cross bike is far easier to ride but they are in excess of £300 so he'll have to wait a bit if he wants to take it up properly.
He's back into his cycling in a big way and I may find myself ferrying him to the local track every weekend soon. I don't mind this though - its good for children to have a passion for a sport/interest of some kind. I want to give him every opportunity to progress as far as he wants to. It may last less than a year or may be something he continues to do. I don't want him to be an adult and think if only my parents had bothered to take me to this then I could have be involved in competitive sport. A little bit of effort goes a long way.
|One of the many activities during the summer holidays. I am partial to bit of crazy golf it has to be said!
So school is out for summer. It's always a bit mental leading up to break up - sports day, parties, pre-school break up, teacher gifts, end of year production - this year it was Mary Poppins and so on. There was also a lovely achievement assembly for the end of term with medals, trophies, certificates, singing etc and it just (like I need to!) made me realise that mum did good in swiftly removing my children from their old school into this new one. Feel the fear and do it anyway - isn't that the saying? Well it all worked out. My little fella starts full-time (no staggering) on 3rd September with the other two. That will be a strange day indeed but its a little easier to swallow knowing what sort of school he'll be going to.
|The final step does not line up with the stripes!
|5 years married and the hubster trumps me on the present front - yet again!
For example, we were asked to arrived at 11.00 for an 11.15 am appointment - we were seen at 12pm and it lasted 5 minutes max. What are they doing between appointments - all the computer info was done whilst we were there?
There is no sense of urgency - people meander about without a care in the world. I reckon you could save millions just by making the NHS staff walk faster! Enough of this as its quite depressing as I'm pretty sure when I'm an old woman I will be saying "in my day you got free health care by paying a little every month and we didn't need costly private insurance".
|Tempestuous at times - very true!
One year, one year I'll get him on the present front.
Until next time.....

NPB: Buffaloes push 1 year Powell supension
by Gen on Feb.12, 2008 @ 9:15 am, under NPB
It appears as though the Orix Buffaloes won't be giving up on Jeremy Powell just yet. They made an announcement earlier today informing the press that they have submitted papers to the commissioners office to investigate the doubled-up contract situation.
Buffaloes GM Katsuhiro Nakamura was quoted as saying, "If contracts that are submitted later take precedence over all others, the future of baseball will be in trouble."
I'll be REALLY interested to see how thing turn out if Powell is required to join the Buffaloes after all is said and done. I'm not sure if Powell will be a willing participant and could cause the Buffaloes more problems than not.
UPDATE 2/14/2008: The Buffaloes are pushing for a season long suspension extension instead of the current 1-month suspension that was handed down by the commissioner's office earlier on.
I was trying to find out what the contracts were like and here is what I've found out:
The Softbanks Hawks apparently offered Powell a 1 year deal worth about $930,000. The Buffaloes contract was slightly less at 1 year and about $512,000. The contract does also appear to have a performance clause that could be worth upwards of about $465,000.
The Hawks are offering better guaranteed money to Powell, but if pitches well this season, the contract the Buffaloes offered could be worth more.
Contract information gleaned from Sanspo.
Powell news taken from Yahoo Sports Japan.

Hailing from North Carolina, Nathan Hayes fell in love with Drum & Bass in the late 90s. Stumbling across a copy of LTJ Bukems Logical Progression LP, Nathan would vibe for hours on end listening to what was to him a fresh and exciting sound. Starting out DJing at the tender age of 16, he began to push this sound throughout his home state and at 18 he had firmly established himself as a DJ on the regional circuit. Taking the next logical step, Nathan began to dabble with production. Soon his work was catching the ears of international artists like Total Science and Digital which motivated Nathan to keep his head in the lab; concocting more blazing D&B beats.
A meeting of minds between Nathan and another local DJ led to the formation of Basic Operations. With Nathan behind the production wheel, their output quickly gained support from the Drum & Bass elite. Basic Ops secured early releases such as Mars vs. Earth on Phuturo and their anthemic Era Soul on Advanced and in 2004 Nathan was approached by Dieselboy and asked to remix Karl K, J Kennedy & Kaos Disco fueled dancefloor smasher Studio 54 for Human Recordings.
Over the coming year Basic Operations joints began popping up on some of the scenes most respected labels: Renegade, TOV, CIA, Advanced, Liquid V, Creative Source, Nerve, Freak and Good Looking. Now an unstoppable force, Basic Operations had established themselves as some of the top Drum & Bass artists in America, by 2005 they were headlining massive events all over the country.

A gray suit is a staple In a professional wardrobe because of its versatility and polished look. The neutral appearance of a gray suit allows you to wear it with virtually any color or pattern, which means the styling possibilities are endless. That's why it's so easy to find shoes to wear with it. Depending on where you're headed and whether your suit features pants or a skirt, you can choose from several options that help play up your suit's traditional look or give it a fresh, bold look.
Classic Pumps
When women are wearing a suit, closed-toe pumps are the classic choice of shoe. The neutrality of gray allows for a wide range of shoe colors. For a traditional look, pair your suit with black leather pumps. If you prefer a softer look, charcoal or navy heels can also work well. For a fashion-forward look, wear your suit with patent-leather pumps -- slide toward the conservative side with a neutral shade like black, or add a pop of color to your outfit with a pair of red patent-leather pumps. If you're wearing your suit out in the evening, satin or suede pumps in black, red or even silver can dress up your suit. Look for pumps that feature embellishments too, such as rhinestone details.
Modern Boots
The right pair of boots can give your gray suit a modern feel. To match the polished look of the suit, opt for a heeled style that gives you some extra lift. If you're wearing a pantsuit, choose a pair of ankle boots; a simple pair of black leather booties work well for a classic look, but you can give your suit more personality by choosing a pair that features decorative details such as side buckles or studs. If you're wearing a gray suit with a skirt, knee-high or calf boots are particularly good options in the fall and winter when you want to keep your legs warm. Choose a suede pair in a rich shade like eggplant, cranberry or teal to liven up your gray suit.
Comfortable Flats
If you're not comfortable walking in heels, you don't need to stumble around in pumps just because you're wearing a suit. Flats can work with your favorite gray suit if you choose the right style. To maintain a professional look for the office, opt for flats with a bold, modern look. Pair your light-gray suit with nude flats that feature silver stud details, or slip into a pair of pointy-toed, black, patent-leather flats to wear with a charcoal suit. If you work in a more creative office, you can also finish your look with ballet flats; try a brightly colored, floral-print pair to spice up the look of your gray suit.
Sexy Sling Backs
In the summer, you want to stay cool, but if you work in an office, it may not be appropriate to pair your suit with sandals or wedges. Instead, step through the doors in a pair of sling backs. Sling backs leave more skin exposed than traditional pumps do, but if you choose a style with a closed front, they're still professional enough for the office. To give your gray suit a fresh look for spring and summer, choose sling backs in lighter colors. A pointy-toed pair in a blush or nude shade can help your legs look longer if your suit features a skirt, or you may opt for a bright coral, patent-leather pair to really make a statement.
For The Guys
When it comes to choosing shoes to pair with a gray suit, guys have several classic options. A pair of black lace-up Oxfords offers a traditional, professional look that works well at the office. However, a pair of rich-brown tasseled loafers can give your gray suit some European flair. If you want a more modern look, pair your suit with simple, black pull-on boots. When you really want to stand out, though, play with color. Try a pair of dark oxblood or mossy-green colored shoes to really give a simple gray suit some personality.

I think I can safely say that 99% of us have been there. We are eating right, we are exercising but that promise 1kg a week just isn't come off the scale. So what are you doing wrong and how do you keep motivated to slim down (or up).
Weight Plateau's: 1kg a week depends on the week
The reality is that we have weight plateau's. What this means is that shifting the scales is far easier in between plateau's but the minute we hit a plateau it takes a LOT more effort to get past it. So what I recommend is that when you hit a plateau (and you will now you have) make a promise to yourself to consider the following before giving up:
Look at HOW you exercise: Is your strength, stamina or flexibility improving? If not, you are doing something wrong. Consider pushing yourself harder, attending a group fitness training session or if the budget can afford it get a personal trainer to show you where you are going wrong
Look at how MUCH you are exercising: Are you doing enough exercise to get your metabolism going? It takes at least 20-30 minutes to get your metabolism going. Ensure that your training sessions exceed this amount and if you can't find time in the afternoon, wake up 30 minutes earlier in the morning or consider increasing you incidental exercise.
Look at WHAT exercise you are doing: Pilates / Yoga / Xtend Barre and many other strengthening exercise forms are fantastic for the body, but do not burn as many calories as cardiovascular exercise like running, swimming, fast paced walking. Ensure you are including multiple forms of exercise into your workout to get all systems going.
Look at what you are putting into your mouth: Are you making the right food choices at the right times of the day? For weight loss it is best to avoid carbohydrates like rice, pasta and bread at night, whilst it is the opposite when trying to gain weight.
Exercise can only get you so far, nutrition is not simply about weight management but about overall health and wellbeing. If you are struggling with this, seek professional help, consider going to a nutritionist or a dietician to get you on track.

Has Your Business Received an Unsolicited Call From Google? It's a Scam.
The phone call from Google is a phone scam, here's why.
Remember, Google will never, ever call you out of the blue unexpectedly. Google will only call if you request a support phone call from Google relating to your Google Adwords account that might have some issues. If Google calls then you always know ahead of time and you should expect something very direct to the expected call like "Hello, this is Tina from Google AdWords. Did you request a support call?"..

This is what Kendrick and I did last Sunday, and it was fantastic. I may need a repeat performance this weekend.
For our first stop, we grabbed The Onion (favorite story of the day here), and plunked ourselves down at Stromboli's Pizza (in my opinion, one of the better spots in Manhattan).
This, incidentally, is how I eat pizza: plucking off bites one at a time until all that's left is the melty, perfect center. Kendrick indulges this little oddity of mine, which is yet another reason why I married the guy.
After a pass through the De La Vega Museum, where we met James himself, we went next door to Dumpling Man. Remember the steamed pork buns vs. soup buns debate here awhile back? (Apologies, comments were deleted in the transfer over to my new site, but basically, I unwittingly called a dish that I ordered from a Chinese restaurant pork buns – because that's what they were called on the menu – but it turns out they were actually soup dumplings.) Anyway, we decided to try the soup dumplings, but were pretty disappointed…as there really wasn't any soup in them. Just meat. But Kendrick had his Sriracha to dress them up with, so he was happy as a steamed mini pork bun.
The day ended with goat cheese and lemon-scented thyme at the Tompkins Square Park Greenmarket and a dash into one of my favorite dives in the city, Cheap Shots. Haven't been? I recommend going – preferably in the afternoon, before the crowds pour in, so you can fully appreciate the fabulousness of the place.
P.S. Also love TONY's suggestions for this weekend; I'm hoping to hit the Hester Street Fair.

Nothing in Kierkegaard's life (1813-1855) suggested he would enjoy posthumous fame. A peculiar man, often surly and unpleasant, possibly somewhat hunchbacked, Kierkegaard divided his time between wandering the streets of Copenhagen and writing his unusual philosophical books. He lived off a large inheritance from his father, he published his works at his own expense, and he wrote almost exclusively in Danish (his native language), attracting no readers of any significance outside his native land.
Though many of Kierkegaard's works were prepared as responses to popular ideas or influential writings in Denmark, few of his contemporaries appear to have taken his philosophy seriously. Towards the end of his life, a Copenhagen newspaper published a series of satirical cartoons about Kierkegaard that effectively reduced him to a local laughingstock.
Nevertheless, through a complex chain of events, Kierkegaard's works came to be read with interest by leading philosophers outside of Denmark early in the twentieth century. His fans came to include such notable figures as Wittgenstein, Heidegger, Kafka, Barth, Sartre, and Camus. These thinkers often interpreted Kierkegaard as a precedent for their own ideas--and therefore as an important step in the history of Western philosophy.
Within the context of the history of philosophy, Kierkegaard has generally been understood as a radical critic of Hegel. In brief, Hegel argued that we can obtain knowledge about religious and ethical truth through careful analysis of the historical process that created our ideas about religion and ethics. Kierkegaard argues instead that knowledge about the external world is always uncertain by comparison with our internal intuitions about God and morality. He urges us to pursue a private faith in God.
Ironically, while Kierkegaard's ideas have influenced twentieth-century theology, they have also been an important influence on thinkers who do not believe in God. For instance, "existentialist" philosophers like Sartre and Camus admire Kierkegaard's commitment to personal beliefs but reject his commitment to religion. (See the Overall Analysis and Themes for more on this and other interpretations of Kierkegaard.)
The Sickness Unto Death was published in 1849, just six years before Kierkegaard's death in 1855. It is one of Kierkegaard's last philosophical works, and it offers one of the clearest and most concise statements of his views on religious faith.

Boston Celtics coach Doc Rivers loves his team's mental toughness. It's been on display throughout a hurdle-filled 2011-12 season. Sure, he'd love his team to take the easier route sometimes; he's just not sure that's possible.
"I keep saying with our team, we don't ever do it the easy way. But I don't know if we could," Rivers admitted. "Sometimes I just don't. Not because the mental [aspect], just because we are bent, and there are times that we do break, and more for other reasons than basketball."
The latest example of upping the season's degree of difficulty: The Celtics kicked away an 18-point second-half lead during Game 4 of their Eastern Conference semifinal series with the Philadelphia 76ers on Friday night. That tied the series at 2 as it shifts back to Boston for Game 5 on Monday night at TD Garden.
Rivers chastised the Celtics after they "completely lost our discipline," particularly on the defensive end late in Friday's loss. But Rivers also knows that adversity has a way of bringing out the best in his team and thinks it will respond well in what's now a best-of-three series.
"I think they're upset, they clearly understand what happened," Rivers said. "But you also understand that just happens. It's happened every night [in the playoffs]. If you watched both games [Saturday] night, you're like, 'Wow.' It just happens, and you move on."
The Celtics spent a lot of time Sunday answering questions about Game 4, but captain Paul Pierce may have said it best in terms of putting the game behind them.
"It's over. Milk is spilled, got to clean up, move on to the next game," he said. "You can't let it frustrate you, can't dwell on the past. It is what it is. The series is 2-2, obviously we have to go back to Philly. But we've got to take care of business at home."
Kevin Garnett also acknowledged the importance of Game 5. "It's critical," he said. "Nothing more, nothing less than that. We're at home, we've got to win."
Pierce said the extra day off between Games 4 and 5 probably worked against Boston this time. It's only the second time this postseason that the Celtics have received an extra day of rest in a tightly packed schedule, but the players are eager to get back on the court and atone for the lackluster second-half effort in Game 4.
Pierce pointed to the "little things" to clean up, like doing a better job on the glass (Philadelphia out rebounded Boston 52-38), limiting second-chance opportunities (the 76ers had 17 offensive rebounds and 12 second-chance points) and winning the 50/50 game (Philadelphia out hustled and outmuscled the Celtics throughout the second half).
One chess match to watch is how the Celtics counter when the 76ers go small, often using Thaddeus Young at the 4 and rookie Lavoy Allen at the 5. Boston typically has gone small to counter the move, taking Brandon Bass off the floor and running four guards with Garnett. But that backfired Friday.
Rivers said the Celtics have to be careful about making knee-jerk reactions to one bad half.
"Honestly, if we made one mistake, we should have gone back to Bass," Rivers said. "In the first three games, our small lineup was a better lineup than our big lineup. Statistically, in Game 4, the big lineup was better; the big lineup was what got us the lead. The big lineup at the beginning of the third got off to a good start. And both times when we went small, it hurt us.
"So that's something as a staff we have to recognize, and it's a tough call. We're going to have to make a call each game, it looks like, and there's no right or wrong to it. It's going to have to be a gut feeling and I hope when we make it, we make the right one."
The Celtics haven't had to make too many tough personnel calls this postseason because they've been able to keep their players upright. But Rivers held second-year shooting guard Avery Bradley out of practice Sunday after his left shoulder was dislocated for the third time this postseason on Friday. Bradley toughed out the rest of the game — and is expected to start Game 5 — but his shoulder is a perfect example of the tenuous nature of the Celtics' season.
"That's the scariest part about our team," Rivers said. "I've said it for about three months, we are very thin. That's why games like the other night hurt you more. We don't have a big margin for error. We don't even have it when guys are healthy.
"Our [starters] have to play well to give our bench guys a chance to stay on the floor longer, which allows us to get more rest. There's a minute number every game that I'm concerned by for our starters, and when they get over that we struggle.
"There's a lot of things going on in a game every night for us that quite honestly a lot of teams don't have to deal with. But we know that and we understand that."
Yes, the Celtics know they've been forced to navigate the hard path this season. Through it all, they've emerged at the other end. And as Game 5 approaches, they're confident in their chances to do the same yet again.

Media release
No media release.
Australian scientists have identified a genetic cause of birth defects, and found when vitamin B3 was given to pregnant mice with the defect-causing genes, the mice gave birth to healthy pups. The researchers identified gene variants in 13 human families, and discovered that the genes are responsible for an enzyme which the body usually makes from vitamin B3. When researchers genetically engineered mice with the same gene variants, they found that pups were born with birth defects, but that this could be prevented by giving the mouse mums vitamin B3 during pregnancy.

These comments have been collated by the Science Media Centre to provide a variety of expert perspectives on this issue. Feel free to use these quotes in your stories. Views expressed are the personal opinions of the experts named. They do not represent the views of the SMC or any other organisation unless specifically stated.
Professor Claire Roberts is Professorial Research Fellow at the Robinson Research Institute and Adelaide Medical School, University of Adelaide
The authors identified genetic causes of a rare constellation of malformations at birth called VACTERL. Affected babies have anomalies in at least three of the spine, anus, heart, trachea (windpipe), eosophagus (food tube) and limbs. About 1/20,000 babies are affected and some of these babies die. Note there are about 310,000 babies born in Australia each year.
The paper identifies gene variants in two enzymes in a biochemical pathway that makes Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide or NAD. NAD is a co-enzyme that is important in cellular metabolism, specifically it is essential to the cell's ability to generate energy from nutrients such as glucose. NAD is synthesized in the body by two pathways from tryptophan, an amino acid, or from niacin also known as Vitamin B3.
The authors undertook whole genome sequencing in 13 affected families. The gene variants were identified in three families with consanguineous marriages [when close relatives marry] with children with VACTERL malformations. This is important because we inherit one copy of each gene from our mother and a second copy from our fathers. Because we are genetically more similar to our blood relations than to non-related individuals babies born to consanguineous marriages are more likely to inherit 2 copies of defective genes that can cause malformations. Inheriting one copy often does not cause problems because the healthy copy can compensate.
The authors also genetically engineered mice to show that absence of the genes caused NAD deficiency and similar malformations in mice. However, when they provided extra niacin to pregnant mice the pups were relatively normal despite the absent gene. This does NOT mean that taking niacin/vitamin B3 in pregnancy prevents birth defects. The Australian population is not considered to be deficient in niacin. Most breakfast cereals have niacin added to them, it is also present in meat and whole grain cereals.
There have been previous publications showing mutations in other genes are also associated with VACTERL and it is likely that different genes contribute to these malformations and that not all babies with VACTERL will have the same mutations. However, it is important that we understand the role of different genes in birth anomalies and this paper has not only identified genetic mutations but also the mechanism by which they cause them.
This study uses a comprehensive approach to understanding the cause of a relatively rare group of co-occurring congenital malformations (called VACTERL association). Using genetic information from four families in which there was a child with VACTERL association (three families were consanguineous), variants in two genes were identified in affected individuals. These variants were both involved in a metabolic pathway involving the vitamin niacin in the body. In mice bred with the same variants, similar congenital malformations and similar metabolic deficiency were found. The metabolic deficiency seen in the mice was averted with treatment with niacin during pregnancy.
Whilst this is an exciting advance in understanding one mechanism for causing VACTERL, it is not yet clear whether it is the only cause for this group of malformations, whether other malformations may be linked to this cause, and whether dietary supplementation with niacin in humans would prevent this group or other malformations.
Associate Professor David Amor is Lorenzo and Pamela Galli Chair in the Department of Paediatrics at University of Melbourne, and a Clinical Geneticist at Royal Childrens Hospital and Victorian Clinical Genetics Services
The key finding is that genetic deficiency of NAD, a coenzyme that is found in all living cells, can lead to birth defects in the developing baby. From this perspective, the paper is describing a new genetic condition, but one that is likely to be very rare.
What is most interesting is that these birth defects are potentially treatable if the mother is given niacin supplementation during pregnancy. This is because, in addition to being produced in the body, NAD can be also be sourced from dietary niacin. In fact in mice that had the genetic deficiency of NAD, niacin was shown to be effective in preventing birth defects. Whether this is also the case in humans is yet to be determined.
A broader question is whether dietary niacin deficiency might play a role in birth defects even in the absence of the genetic deficiency of NAD, and whether dietary supplementation of niacin might be of benefit to pregnant women in the general population. This will be an interesting area for future study, but at present there is no reason to believe that dietary niacin deficiency is a major cause of birth defects in the general population.
I should add that the concept of a birth defect that is potentially preventable by diet is very cool, even if it only applies to rare individuals.
The NEJM study:
- The NEJM paper looks at some families where congenital malformations were found in NSW. They genetically identified the cause and then created a mouse model to replicate the problem. The authors conclude that disruption in the production of a coenzyme, called NAD, was related to the likelihood of one of these birth defects.
- The study found that niacin (vitamin B3) supplementation prevented birth defects
- Nicotinamide is part of the vitamin B3 complex. We commonly also know vitamin B3 as niacin (which is a common generic name that covers nicotinamide and nicotinic acid).
- Nicotinamide is the "N" in NAD. This co-enzyme is needed for cells throughout the body.
- Hence nicotinamide is required for many of the bodies normal function.
General information:
- The Australian recommended daily intake (RDI) can be found at https://www.nrv.gov.au/nutrients/niacin
- Nicotinamide is the preferred form to give for treatment of vitamin B3 deficiency (pellagra). This is because it does not cause flushing side effects due to vasodilation, unlike nicotinic acid.
- This vitamin is water soluble, which means we do not store it in the body for long periods.
- It can be found often in meat, fish and some nuts etc. Some cereal manufacturers add this vitamin to their products.
- It can be bought over the counter as part of a vitamin supplement
- It has limited side effects if the dosage is followed, hence it is is relatively safe to take and therefore we do not measure it often in hospital pathology laboratories.
What should people do now?
- Have a balanced healthy diet that includes all vitamins and trace elements. Talk to your doctor (GP) or health professional about your diet.
What may happen in the future ?
- May be fortification of foods with nicotinamide is considered / expanded as more evidence is produced.
The paper of Hongjum Shi et al describes an important discovery about the genetic cause of multiple congenital malformations that occur in combination (MCFs). They identified, in four families with MCFs, defects in genes that code for enzymes (HAAO, KYNU) that convert the amino acid tryptophan to the important cofactor nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD) which can also be derived from the vitamin niacin (vitamin B3).
The study was limited by investigation in only four families but strengthened by data from a rodent model with defects in the same genes and increases in metabolites indicative of mutations in the HAAO and KYNU enzymes.
The findings are significant because they show the importance of tryptophan and vitamin B3 deficiencies as a cause of simultaneous multiple congenital defects and the possibility of preventing these abnormalities by adequate maternal supplementation with these nutrients before and during pregnancy. These developmental defects are probably the result of DNA damage and abnormal gene expression because NAD is needed for DNA repair, the control of which genes are switched on or off, as well as for energy production needed to sustain normal metabolism.
The authors hypothesise that high dose niacin at 140mg/day, which is ten times the USA recommended daily intake of niacin, is required to prevent congenital malformations in families with defects in HAAO and/or KYNU genes but no evidence is provided to support this. Furthermore, this dose may not be safe given that the Tolerable Upper Intake Level for Niacin is only 35mg/day for adults.

Truro School's Head of Football, Glynn Hooper, is excitedly walking the corridors this week as he gears up to take his Cornwall Under 18s team to the final of the FA Youth County Cup at Barnet FC's 6,400 capacity stadium this weekend.
Having not won the cup in its 73 year history, Mr Hooper's Under 18s team has already progressed further than any previous Cornwall side, with the team having been knocked out in the semi-finals at two previous attempts.
The cup run started back in October when the Cornwall Under 18s defeated Gloucestershire 7-0. Further victories against Lancashire and Sussex saw the side play Durham in the semi-final where they edged their way through to reach the final against Middlesex.
Mr Hooper said:
"Truro School has supported the Cornwall Under 18s through its facilities, with boys travelling from all over the county to train here. For me, it's been a tremendous term, with the county Under 18s still unbeaten this year and Truro School Under 18s also still unbeaten this year. It's a really positive time, not only around results, but around how the boys try to play the game; another key part of what we are trying to educate."
This is now Mr Hooper's eleventh year at the school having started in 2006. During his football career, Mr Hooper found himself on the books of Ipswich Town for 5 years and was also Assistant Manager/Player of Truro City Football Club in 2007 when they won the FA Vase, which was another first for a Cornwall.
"The philosophy and ethos that I try to incorporate into my everyday roll at Truro School has hopefully put me in a nice position to be able to translate that to boys throughout the county," he said.
During the Easter break Mr Hooper will also have his ear to the ground for news from the MeCup, a youth development tournament in Menorca where a number of Truro School students have been selected to represent the South West Independent Schools' Representative team. The students will get to play against the likes of Manchester City, Barcelona and Real Madrid youth development sides with Mr Hooper describing the competition as a "wonderful opportunity".
Mr Hooper finished by saying:
"Here at Truro School we are not looking for pupils to play football just to become professionals, we really want children to play football first and foremost for fun, through participation. However, what we can do is identify talented players at an early age, the main development is then done through the professional clubs. Competitions like the MeCup give students exposure to high level football and opportunities to be scouted. Being in a position of watching young players from the ages of 11 to 18, I feel that it is important to deliver a rounded approach to the reality of having aspirations of becoming a professional footballer, and advice can certainly be given alongside students' academic studies at Truro School."

I have by no means become an expert on freediving but I have been lucky enough to have had a freediver contact me, after my first article, and has since told me a lot more about this extreme sport.
Kerian Hibbs lives in New Zealand and is a passionate freediver – his words. He is equally passionate about this sport not being mis-represented as it does attract a lot of bad press – particularly from the media.
It is an exhilarating sport, but there is no doubt that it has its fair share of danger. Pressure on the body in deepwater freediving can reach 235 pounds per square inch (16.5 kilograms per square centimeter). For this reason, freediving is very heavily regulated to ensure safety of the athletes taking part in training and/or competition.
It is a problem with all extreme sports – they do attract bad press and there is a feeding frenzy whenever anything goes wrong. I don't suppose anything will ever control that – the public likes reading sensational material, and the media loves supplying it. I apologise to any reporters out there who may feel I have overstepped a boundary or two!
As with all extreme sports – if you do freediving correctly, if you take the time to have proper and professional training, you minimize the risk. If there was no risk it would not be an extreme sport would it?
There is a difference between freediving and 'no limits' diving. My last 2 articles on record breaking dives were both 'no limits' dives. A 'no limits' dive is where a diver is dragged down to depth by a weight (sled) and then retrieved using winches or mechanical means. Whereas a freediver uses no aids – breast stroke down and back up again either with fins or a mono-fin. This discipline is considered the most pure form of free diving . Some consider the 'no limits' dive more of a publicity stunt than a discipline – although there is no doubt that the feats they achieve are extroadinary and applaudable.
Kerian has a friend who he trains with, Dave Mullins, who has been down to 110m deep with a monofin only. He also, as of a few days ago, holds the world record in the pool in Dynamics with a 248m pool swim. Kerian himself has achieved 201m in Dynamics which places him 7th in the current world records. By all calculations he is only the 10th man in history to swim over 200m on a single breath of air and he is hoping to reverse those last 2 digits in November when he is going for 210m. Watch this space…
And it shows how out of kilter you can get when researching something… I was looking for a dynamics youtube pool swim that I could post and came up with a wonderful freediving video which is advertising for BMW cars! But I'll post it anyway as its beautifully done!

One is represented by a dot product, the other by a cross product. The "inner product collapses two co-ordinate vectors into a scalar, the exterior product seems to expand them in a multilinear (manifold)? The inner product seldom has "cancellation," the exterior product has a lot of cancellation (between the same differential forms).
Are they just two opposite sides of the same coin? If not, why do they seem to be so "parallel"?

So why is the ONE Asia MMA Summit so important?
Right now as you're sitting at your desk waiting for the weekend to come, some of the greatest minds in Asian MMA are either on a plane to Singapore or have already arrived on our sunny island. As you should know by now, the reason why these prolific names are gathering here in Singapore, is because of the inaugural ONE Asia MMA Summit which will be held at the iconic Marina Bay Sands Resort.

555 Capitol Mall, Suite 850
Sacramento, CA 95814
Murphy Austin's Tax and Estate Planning Team offers a full range of services in tax and estate planning matters. Our tax attorneys work directly with our clients, accountants and other attorneys to assist in identifying and addressing potential tax problems. The areas of tax and estate planning law in which we have particular skill and experience include the following:
As the population of America ages, we have seen a growing need for advice to elders and their family members as to the many issues particularly relevant to elders. We address these issues, which include entitlement to government benefits such as Social Security, Medicare, Supplemental Security Income and Medi-Cal. Other issues relate to the need for family members or interested parties to be able to assist in the property management and health care decision-making for elders.
We prepare estate plans of all kinds and complexity, and for all sizes of estates. We incorporate into the planning considerations of our clients' estates income tax, estate and gift tax, generation-skipping transfer tax, charitable trusts, life insurance, pension law, property tax, and the potential future need for long-term nursing or custodial care. Particular emphasis is given to tax planning for family wealth transfers, including the creation of intra-family gift programs involving outright gifts, gifts of stock in family corporations, the creation and implementation of family partnerships and grantor annuity and income trusts.
We represent personal representatives, trustees, beneficiaries and heirs in audits by the Internal Revenue Service or Franchise Tax Board regarding estate tax returns. We assist accountants in the preparation of federal and California estate tax returns, fiduciary tax returns and final federal income tax returns of the decedent.
We design and prepare planned giving programs, and advise charities and donors regarding the tax and other benefits of such programs. Particular emphasis is given to advising clients regarding the income tax aspects of charitable contributions as well as the creation and implementation of charitable remainder trusts and pooled income funds. We also assist clients regarding valuation issues and the implementation of private foundations as a vehicle for effecting charitable gifts.
We represent employers and employees in tax planning for employee benefit plans, and in dealing with governmental agencies and benefit providers.
We represent clients in tax controversies with the Internal Revenue Service at all levels, including conferences with Internal Revenue Service Agents, hearings before the Internal Revenue Service Appellate Division, and representation of clients before the U.S. Tax Court and U.S. District Courts. We represent clients before the State of California Franchise Tax Board, Board of Equalization, California Employment Development Department and other governmental taxing agencies and authorities.
Advise clients in all areas of federal and state taxation, including the areas of income tax planning, compliance and controversy. Extensive experience with mergers, business acquisitions and corporate reorganizations.
We have extensive experience advising clients with respect to California sales and use taxes, and real and personal property taxation, and representing clients in matters involving such taxes before the California State Board of Equalization, local assessment boards and courts.
In addition to estate planning activities in drafting a trust instrument, we also represent trustees and beneficiaries in administration of trusts. Our practice includes petitioning for transfer of assets into the trust after the death of the trustor in the event title was incorrectly cleared, petitioning for instructions regarding the interpretation or modification of trusts, monitoring the creditors' claim process, petitioning for instructions regarding actions to be taken by the trustee, petitioning for termination of trusts, and petitioning for resignation of trustees and for the appointment of successor trustees. We also advise trustees regarding their fiduciary duties, the sale or distribution of trust assets, and the preparation of accountings and reports.

Journalist and pundit Juan Williams deserves to be questioned and even chastised for his recent comment on the O'Reilly Show about his being scared to see people with Muslim "garb" on airplanes.
National Public Radio (NPR), who fired Williams yesterday after approximately a decade of service, stated it had problems with his appearances on FOX since 2008. Basically, they are stating that the "garb" comment was not the primary reason why Williams was let go but a reasonable cover.
Williams is far too educated about Muslims to have made such a gaff. Moreover as a Black male, he must realize that his comment differed little from persons who say that they scared to see Black males in an "urban" setting wearing hoodies and saggy jeans.
In addition, Williams should know from being so well read that extremists, who commit acts of terrorism on airplanes attempt to blend in and not bring suspicion upon themselves. Doesn't the booking photo of "Captain Underpants" that tried to bring down the plane over Detroit on Christmas Day look like a typical teen? Was "Captain Underpants" wearing Muslim "garb" with a long beard? Of course not!
Williams' visceral response, however, is also very educational. There are many Americans, who are less educated yet well-meaning that are simply anxious being in the company of Muslims, and they would probably be nervous if boarding an airplane and seeing an Arab male wearing a kufi cap and long beard or a woman wearing all black with a niqab (face veil).
The broader challenge for Muslims is to extend ourselves more in the general public to dispel these fears while questioning the fallacious statements of those who seek to stereotype all Muslims as potential threats.
UPDATED – 10/22/10 at 12:15 a.m.
If it wasn't made clear above, I DO NOT think that Juan Williams is a flaming anti-Muslim bigot or raving Islamophobe.
Williams had a Sharon Sherrod moment. Or since he is a journalist, it may be more analogous to Rick Sanchez.
One thought on "On Juan Williams being fired"
@ "Basically, they are stating that the "garb" comment was not the primary reason why Williams was let go but a reasonable cover."
I think most people knew this. I for one am proud of NPR.

Can I get a copy of the MG Registry survey?
Can persons with limited internet access participate in the Registry?
What types of questions are in the enrollment survey?
General contact information
Demographic information, for example, education, employment, income, insurance
Year, month, and place of birth of parents and grandparents
Information on places you lived when you were under 25 years old
MG medical history, including tests and diagnoses; treatments; other conditions; family's MG history
Information on quality of life and lifestyle
Future, follow-up surveys will contain a subset of the enrollment questions as well as one new section of questions.
How long will it take to complete the survey?
The actual amount of time required to complete the enrollment survey will vary from one participant to another depending on availability and accessibility to survey information. Examples include your medical history and perhaps your family's medical history, which may or may not be readily accessible.
All surveys can be completed at your own pace. Once you have completed the registration/ enrollment process (described below), you may log on and off the MG Registry website as often as needed to enter the survey information, before submitting it in its final form (i.e., when you have entered as much of the survey information as you can or intend).
The enrollment survey is expected to take longer to complete than follow-up surveys.
How do I enroll in the MG Registry?
- Enrolling in the MG Registry is an internet-based process.
- You must read and agree to the Terms and Conditions of the registry to participate.
- You will be asked to provide an active email address. The email address is used (1) to provide you with email notification when your user account has been set up, (2) to authenticate your user account, and (3) to notify you when future survey updates are available for you to complete on the MG Registry website.
- You will be asked to select a username and password. You will use both to log-in and access your personal survey in the Registry. Please note, your username and password can be anything you choose, barring those that are already taken. You are NOT required to use your personal name for your username. Be sure to record your username and password in a safe place, as you will be required to enter it every time you log on.
- Once you complete the registration page, you will receive a "Welcome" email message confirming that you have completed the registration process. This message will be sent to the address you used to register.
- Once you register, you will also have access to the enrollment survey.
- When the enrollment survey has been entered and submitted within the website, you are fully enrolled in the MG Registry. Please note, you MUST click the button "Submit My Survey" to complete this process. Until this step is completed, your survey is considered pending.
What if I did not receive an email verifying my registration?
If you did not receive a Welcome email verifying your registration in the MG Registry, please check your "junk" email folder or check for an email message notifying you of SPAM email. Email administrators often flag as junk mail, those incoming messages that contain "welcome" or other designated terms in the subject line. If you are unable to locate a welcome email, you can try to log-in to the Registry by entering your username and password. If successful, you will be directed to the MGR User Homepage (see Figure 1.0 below). You may contact us at email@example.com for additional help.
How do I log-on to the MG Registry to access my survey?
- When you initially complete the registration process, you will be automatically directed to the MG Registry user home page. From there you click on the link "My Enrollment Survey".
- As part of the registration process, you are setting up a personal, user account in which your survey data is kept. For data security purposes, when there is no activity in your survey (i.e., no typing of information or movement from one page to another) for 20 or more minutes, your session will time-out and you will have to log-in again in order to re-access your information.
- To log-in, go to the log-in web page: https://mgregistry.soph.uab.edu/MGRegistry/PortalLogin.aspx; enter your username and password; identify the picture/object you see by selecting its name from the dropdown list; then click "Login".
How do I navigate the MGR Registry once I have completed enrollment?
Figure 1.0 below shows a view of the "MGR USER HOMEPAGE". After logging on, you are directed to this page. The homepage menu (i.e., the blue bar extending across the page, just under "MGR USER HOMEPAGE") provides the following links:
♦ User Home - returns you to the view shown in Figure 1.0
♦ User Settings - where you can change your password and update a name or email address; usernames cannot be changed
♦ Print Blank Survey - access to a PDF of the full-printable survey
♦ Print My Data - functions to print selected survey sections including your data\
♦ Log Out - where at any time, you can log out of the Registry
► If you have not yet begun to enter information in your survey, your homepage will show the link "My Enrollment Survey".
► If you have begun to enter information in your survey, your homepage will show a link "Return to my Enrollment Survey" (as seen in Figure 1.0).
► If you have completed and submitted your survey, your homepage will show the following message: "You have completed the Survey. Please check back later for Updates."
When follow-up surveys become available for your completion, you will receive an email from the Registry. At that time you can log on to the website and click the link provided to access the latest available survey.
What if I leave the website too long and get logged out?
If your session times out, you need only to go back to the login web page: https://mgregistry.soph.uab.edu/MGRegistry/PortalLogin.aspx; reenter your username and password; identify the picture/object you see by selecting its name from the dropdown list; then click "Login". For data security purposes, when there is no activity in your survey (i.e., no typing of information or movement from one page to another) for 20 or more minutes, your session will time-out and you will have to log-in again in order to re-access your information.
What if the website indicates my password has expired or I forget my password?
For security purposes, MG Patient Registry user passwords expire every 180 days, regardless of user activity. There are two options for resetting a password outlined below:
1. You may call or email the MG Patient Registry coordinating center to request a password reset. Please have your Username available. EMAIL: firstname.lastname@example.com PHONE: 205-975-8632 or Toll free 855-337-8633.
2. Use the security questions you setup at registration to reset your password on-line. Have available either your Username or the Email address used during registration.
- Go to the log-in page and click "Forgot Password/Username"
- Enter your Username or email address and click "Continue"
- Enter the answers to the 2 security questions you set at registration. IMPORTANT NOTE: The case of your data entry does not matter, but the digits entered must match exactly what you entered at setup. If you mistakenly misspelled your entry or added a character during setup, to reset your password you will have to enter the security question answers with the same misspelling or added character in order for the entry to validate and to proceed with the password reset.
- For example, a date entered at setup as 01/01/2018 cannot later be entered as 01-01-2018, 01Jan2018, etc. and validate. It MUST be entered as 01/01/2018.
- For example, a city entered at setup as Homet$own cannot later be entered as Hometown, Home Town, etc. It MUST be entered as Homet$own
- Enter your new password in the field provided. Remember, passwords must be a minimum of 7 characters.
- Reenter the new password in the field provided
- Click "Reset Password"
- If you have problems with any of the steps for using security questions to reset your password, please contact the coordinating center (see #1 above) for personal assistance.
