A brain stimulation technique that is used to treat tough cases of depression could be considerably improved with a new headpiece designed by University of Michigan engineers.
Computer simulations showed that the headpiece - a square array of 64 circular metallic coils - could one day help researchers and doctors hit finer targets in the brain that are twice as deep as they can reach today, and without causing pain.
In transcranial magnetic stimulation, special coils create a fluctuating magnetic field that then generates a weak electrical field that can travel through the scalp and skull noninvasively. The electrical signal activates neurons in targeted parts of the brain - a complex electrical network itself.
Exactly how the technique alleviates depression isn't well understood, but it tends to reduce symptoms in roughly half of patients who don't respond to antidepressants. It's been an FDA-approved mental illness treatment since 2006, but researchers say the technology is still relatively crude.
It can send signals only 2 centimeters into the brain before it causes uncomfortable muscle contractions in a patient's scalp. It's not the depth that causes the contractions. It's the relatively large focal spot required to go in that far.
"I started working on transcranial magnetic stimulation a while ago and realized the technology was very limited," said Luis Hernandez-Garcia, a research associate professor of biomedical engineering and co-author of a paper on the work published in the October edition of IEEE Transactions on Biomedical Engineering.
"It was an uphill battle to get it where I wanted. If you wanted to reach deep in the brain, you also had to stimulate a lot of other brain regions that you really didn't want to stimulate."
To treat depression more effectively, it's been hypothesized that the signal should reach beyond 2 centimeters. In simulations, at 2.4 centimeters, the new system excited 2.6 times less unwanted brain volume than today's systems. It can go deeper as well.
"That improvement isn't marginal," said co-author Eric Michielssen, a professor of electrical engineering and computer science. "This should open up a lot of opportunities to treat depression and other mental illness, as well as probe the brain."
This type of neural stimulation is also a tool in the cognitive neuroscience field where researchers study how brain biology leads to thoughts and actions. For example, a neuroscientist can use it to activate regions of the brain thought to be responsible for hand movement and then watch for a hand response to confirm the hypothesis. To advance this field of study, scientists need the ability to zero in on smaller parts of the brain.
"Our coils will enable neuroscientists to further understand brain function by achieving a finer resolution and stimulating regions deeper in the brain," said Luis Gomez, a doctoral student in electrical engineering and computer science and first author of the paper. "It could help us figure out which way information flows inside neural networks, and ultimately understand how the brain works."
The headpiece design is a big departure from today's figure 8-shaped devices made of just two coils. The researchers knew that in order to send a sharper signal, they'd have to change the shape of the fluctuating magnetic field the coils produce. To design a device that could do that, they worked with Anthony Grbic, an associate professor of electrical engineering and computer science who specializes in metamaterials - a class of substances tailored to exhibit specific electromagnetic properties that can, for example, focus light to a point smaller than its wavelength. Grbic suggested that a surface of loops could do the job.
"These coil arrays are sub-wavelength structures - textured devices designed to manipulate the magnetic near-field in ways that people have never imagined before," said Grbic, the Ernest and Betty Kuh Distinguished Faculty Scholar.
The prototype needs only one power source, as opposed to 64. Other so-called multichannel arrays require a power source for each coil. Having just one would make it easier to use on patients and more affordable.
The paper is titled "Numerical Analysis and Design of Single-Source Multicoil TMS for Deep and Focused Brain Stimulation." Biomedical Engineering, IEEE Transactions on (Volume:60 , Issue: 10 ) Oct. 2013 doi:10.1109/TBME.2013.2264632
The study was funded by the National Institutes of Health grant number NS058691.

Is it too early to be thinking about booking a summer holiday? You may not feel like splashing out yet but there are good arguments for getting a deposit down, especially if you have children at school and are restricted to certain dates. People who leave it late assuming they will get a good deal are often disappointed, particularly as tour operators trim their commitments. Get started by looking at this website about cheap holidays in 2014.

It has been some time since I have posted on the evil being conducted by Google, mostly because it seemed as if Google was coming around a bit.
But today, lifehacker.com links to this Gawker report about how Google is spying on our gmail accounts to mine data in order to better compete with facebook. Here's how it works.
[Google] says it looks for "similarities between your connections" in your Gmail address book and in social networking accounts that Google thinks might belong to you. "For example," said the Google page, "Bob's Google Contacts have names that are very similar to the names of people he follows publicly on Twitter."
Once Google finds a social networking account that might belong to you, it offers to "connect" the account to your Google account, saying the connection will help personalize and improve your Google search results, will make it easier for friends "to find the stuff you share on the web," and will optionally leave you with a Google profile that shows all your other accounts and ranks high in Google search results.
The result of which is,
by combing through your Gmail contacts, Google makes it more likely you will participate in its own efforts to compete more effectively with its archrival Facebook. "They are doing this to assemble another copy of [your social] graph by scraping other sources, rather than making their own," a source told Business Insider.

99 Silverado 5.3L, need com. chip advice
I just had a 40 series flowmaster catback duels installed today. I have also installed a K&N filter and I am ready for a performance chip. I know little about the chips. I do know that the chips adjust fuel/mixes, adjusts the shift points and probably alot of other neat stuff. Everything else is stock and I am not interested in top of the line equipment. I just want to free up this engine's potential. Any suggestions or web sites where chips are compared? Thanks.

Today, as I was reading an article on Nascar.com, I noticed a banner on the left margin. They were toting "Celebrating 5 years of caring". Well, I don't think I took that how they wanted me to, but I see that as "before then, we didn't care at all".
Seriously, how do people at these marketing companies get jobs? That's a terrible message they're sending, which for a charity shouldn't be tolerated. Surely someone other than me can see the negative side of this message.
Usually, I like Nascar's advertisements. This time, I almost found it offensive. Really, if you didn't care in the past, cover it up... don't flaunt it.

I've been living in the US for over a year now and what better time to give a description of my impressions than shortly after the election? I have to admit I expected the campaigning to be much more intense than it actually was here in my neighborhood, but this was also part of a learning process – I don't live in one of the swing states, so I don't get to see much political ads or movements at all, at least not from the Republicans or the Democrats. (San Francisco and the Bay Area has a lot of other kinds of campaigns, though)
Why would an American presidential election be such a new experience to me? I grew up in Sweden which is also a multi-party system, and I've lived in China for almost a decade. Certainly China in absolute terms has a very different system, but over the years I've learned how it works and gotten used to it; simply put, it doesn't surprise me and I've seen it develop over a fair amount of time. But I'm fairly new to the US and when you're new to a country, differences often stand out more than similarities.
One mistake many people do when moving to a new country is to find out which political grouping is closest to their original viewpoint and then follow it more fanatically than the locals themselves. Given my political viewpoints and my background, I should probably be somewhere in between the Democrats and the Green Party (for a description of what many Europeans tend to think about the US, this article is highly recommended). But every country, for social and cultural reasons, have their own system, and so I think it's my duty as a newcomer to try to understand the political party furthest away from me, the Republican party. I guess I should point out I've gone through the same process with China's Communist Party.
Many American concerns are the same as in other countries – the economy often dominates elections and high unemployment, which is currently a scourge in the whole developed world, was a big thing in this election as well. One major difference between the US and most other countries, though, is its role in the world. US foreign policy is one of very active "involvement" in other countries' affairs, whether you choose to interpret that word in a positive or negative way, but one thing that has surprised me is that the people who often talk about going to war abroad are the same who seem to care the least about the world in the first place. There's a sort of blind spot to the world there that fascinates me – the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, from a hawkish viewpoint, was to liberate these two countries, but most of the debates are about the lives of American soldiers. Be that as it will, the American election has a big influence on the world, perhaps to a larger extent than many locals envision.
Personally, despite my political viewpoints, I haven't been as upbeat about this election as the last one. When Obama won in 2008, the sense of hope was unmistakable. After the Bush years, it was now time for a progressive leader to come to the fore and set things right. In this election, though, Obama in a sense had to fight against himself – the promises he made and failed to fulfill, the economic change that didn't come, the change in foreign policy that hardly happened. Unlike most other people of my political affiliation, Romney didn't strike me as particularly bad. Despite things like the 47%, his viewpoints on foreign policy and a certain "woodenness," he seemed to be a fairly acceptable candidate.
While I should say that I was relieved over the election results, I don't foresee any enormous changes in the short run. In the long run, though, the demographics of this election are very interesting and show the US from its most dynamic and interesting side – several analysts have pointed out that the Republicans still predominantly cater to white people, a strategy they will need to change. The country as a whole is changing, and in this it's doing a much better job than Europe where immigrants and the rest of society is often more separate. The American political system may have problems, its economy may be sluggish, but the dynamism and diversity of its people is still unrivaled in the world. This gives it a lot of resilience despite an often gridlocked political system.

She just wanted to feel good for a while.
Deb Blauch said she had been looking forward to cashing in a gift from her husband--a $100 gift certificate for a massage.
"I was going to be pampered. I was so sick and thought this (massage) will make me feel good," she said.
A resident of Lebanon County who works in York County, Blauch is living with two types of cancer -- large B-cell non-Hodgkin's lymphoma and non-Hodgkin's cellicular lymphoma. The latter has no cure, she said.
Because she had cancer throughout the lymph nodes in her body, the massage therapist wouldn't touch her, Blauch said.
"It was hurtful. It still makes me cry," she said.
But a salve to some of her hurt feelings is knowing she now has a place to go.
Blauch has found refuge in The Lavender Loft, a skin care shop with a list of services that cater to cancer patients.
Owner Teri Shaffer opened the new business, which also serves customers without cancer, on Oct. 1 in the Prospect Road Professional Center at 877 Clare Lane, Windsor Township.
Second in state: The 20-year-old esthetician was the second professional in Pennsylvania to become certified to meet the skin care needs of cancer patients treated with chemotherapy and radiation.
"I want to help them wake up every morning, feeling more normal and more like themselves," she said.
Shaffer said she lost her grandfather -- whom she's named after -- to cancer, and her grandmother is currently living with cancer.
Perhaps it's the cancer she faces in her family, or her educational training, but her clients and colleagues agree Shaffer has a gentle touch.
"She's so genuine and caring. People going through cancer can have a good day when they go somewhere and feel like somebody cares. It makes a world of difference," Blauch said.
The services -- everything from full facials to eyebrow enhancements -- also make an impact, she said.
"You don't realize ... if you don't have hair or eyebrows and eyelashes, how naked that looks. She can make you look like a natural, with eyebrows and eyelashes that don't look fake or painted on. It makes you feel like you're still beautiful -- even if you have no hair," Blauch said.
Feeling beautiful: Cancer patients' wanting to feel beautiful and normal again is something Sue Bowman hears every day.
As the breast oncology navigator for The Cancer Center at WellSpan, Bowman said body image and self esteem are huge issues for patients.
That's why she and doctors at the center have been referring patients to The Lavender Loft, she said.
"The fact that she's certified assures us as a community. It's medically approved, safe, desirable and on the leading edge of cancer treatment," Bowman said.
Traditional medicine is focused on getting rid of the disease, but there's so much more to being cancer free, she said.
"It's not just a physical disease, it's an emotional disease. Cancer attacks people at all levels of being," Bowman said.
For women, it can be even more dramatic, she said.
The side effects of chemotherapy, radiation and stress affect the skin, possibly making it very dry or leaving behind red spots and scars. The Lavender Loft offers services to soothe those side effects, Bowman said.
"With women, how we present to the public really affects us. It's very very important to how we hold our self esteem. (Shaffer) can heal skin that may have been damaged and make people feel better about themselves," she said.
Sheila Weist said she felt better about herself after recently having a massage and facial at The Lavender Loft.
The Spring Grove resident was diagnosed with breast cancer a year ago, and side effects of chemotherapy have dried her skin, she said.
Having a facial really helped her skin, Weist said.
But, most importantly, going to the loft relaxed her, she said.
"(Shaffer) makes you feel so good. She's so respectful and knowledgeable, and that made me feel confident," Weist said. "When you're going through cancer, you really want somebody who is sensitive to that situation. And she is."
Cancer skin care services
-- Complementary Consultation: The client will receive a personalized skin analysis, product choices and recommendation for further treatment. An intake form of all current treatments and medications will be completed for safe and effective skin care.
-- Facial: A one-hour facial will be modified to the client's skin type. Skin will be safely balanced from chemotherapy and radiation side effects to leave clients looking refreshed.
-- Hand, Foot and Scalp Therapy: The complete package includes relaxation, exfoliation and hydration through massage of the hands, feet and scalp.
-- Fresh Face Makeup Tutorial: A personalized makeup lesson teaches safe and effective makeup application to cover redness, scars and uneven skin tone. The consultation is finished with professional color matching and product recommendations.
-- Eyebrow and Eyelash Enhancement Tutorial: The tutorial teaches clients how to use makeup to create the appearance of eyebrows and eyelashes. Color-matching and styling-tool recommendations are included.
-- Teri's Total Transformation: A specialized makeover includes skin-tone balancing and eyebrow/eyelash enhancement, followed by makeup application. Off-site makeovers are also available.
-- Caregiver's Treat: Clients can say thanks to their caregivers by treating them to a signature facial, followed by a specialty mask.
-- Celebrate at the Loft: The Lavender Loft can be reserved for special events, such as a bridal party or girls' night out, which includes full makeup applications, demi-facials or customized treatments.

Making an impact with your PhD
Practice No. 1112
Last modified: 29/07/2010 10:55:27
Institution: University of Glasgow
Glasgow's researcher development initiative aims to develop and support a vibrant community of researchers who can participate in meaningful engagement with researchers from other fields, policy makers, the wider public, and the local community and business sector. This has been achieved through our flagship 'Making an Impact' event which connects researcher training with opportunities to put what has been learnt into practice in real scenarios. 'Making an Impact' ran 3 times in the last academic year and was well attended by early-career researchers from all disciplines, as well as prospective PhD students. The overarching aim of the event was to help researchers to consider how their research and how they as researchers can have an impact on the local community, Government policy or the economy. Each event had two distinct sections as well as networking opportunities: Part A: Presentations from PhD alumni These were designed to help participants consider the wide range of career opportunities open to them and identify possible routes into these. Many speakers brought examples of how they are continuing to work closely with academia, thus enabling researchers to understand how their research could be used to inform work in museums, policy, social enterprise and spin-outs. These talks have cemented relationships between local organisations and the University. For example, discussions are now underway between a current research student in Adult Education and one of the Social Enterprise speakers about possible research collaboration. Following the presentation from a representative of Glasgow museums, a current researcher was invited to visit and meet curatorial staff to help clarify her career goals. Part B: Presentations from current research students Current researchers presented their work, considering how best to convey its value and interest to an audience outside of their own field (including the external speakers). Pitching their talk at the correct 'level' was particularly challenging for many students but they appreciated having an 'outsider' perspective as well as finding out about research methods and practice in other fields and areas where they might collaborate or learn from each other. -

It's "The Jetsons" come to life, Buzz Lightyear flying off the big screen into the real world.
A New Zealand company has gotten approval for manned test flights for its latest jetpack prototype, and is trying to develop a version to sell to the public.
The Martin Aircraft Co. of Christchurch said that prototype 12 of its Martin Jetpack can climb above a mile and reach speeds of 46 miles per hour.
The company expects to have its first commercial jetpack on the market next year with a price tag of about $150,000.
Here's how test pilot James Bowker describes a ride: "Mixture of scary and just awesome but when you're actually in it, it's all behind you and you just get lifted off the ground."
The inventor, Glenn Martin, has been working on perfecting his concept for 30 years, inspired by "The Jetsons" and other shows, as well as the U.S. space program.
"It's quite nice to look back and see how far it's come," he said.
Martin Aircraft plans to sell it first to emergency responders and specialists in defense and civil defense while it continues to develop a lighter recreational version.
It will be a pricey way to escape traffic -- or villains, like James Bond did in the 1965 movie 'Thunderball' -- but the company says potential customers have been in touch.
"We have over 10,000 people who have actually enquired as to where they might be able to purchase these in the future," Martin Aircraft's CEO, Peter Coker, said.
The name jetpack is really a misnomer because the lift is provided by ducted fans, not jet engines.
The company, which received a permit for the manned test flights from the Civil Authority of New Zealand two months ago, is not releasing video of those flights yet.
In 2008, Martin demonstrated an earlier version of the jetpack to cheers at an experimental aviation show in Oshkosh, Wisc.
Existing footage of manned flights shows the device hovering about one yard off the ground or being flown unmanned by remote control.

Great refreshing drink! So easy to make, but make sure you have something to put it in!
Haven't made the recipe yet, but it sounds good. I am diabetic and 41 g of carbs equals almost 3 carbs. I am allowed 4 carbs for lunch and dinner so 3 carbs is a lot for diabetics who count carbs. However I am going to try this and perhaps serve myself just half, if i can.
This is the best iced coffee drink i've tried!
We served this at my sisters wedding, everybody raved about it!! This is definitely a keeper!
I have been making this recipe since last summer. The entire family and many of our guests love it. We wrote the recipe on a post-it note to hang on the door so it is quick & easy to make another batch. The only change we did to the recipe was instead of 2 cups of cold water we make it with 4 cups of cold water.

Idaho man accused of using gun to force 'moonwalk'
SANDPOINT, Idaho (AP) – An Idaho man has been charged with assault after authorities say he ordered another man to perform the "moonwalk" at gunpoint.
The Bonner County Daily Bee (http://bit.ly/IGAoPn) reports 30-year-old John Ernest Cross was charged with the felony Tuesday in 1st District Court and appointed a public defender.
Police say they were called Monday to Cross' home in Clark Fork after getting a report that he pointed a rifle at another man and demanded that the man perform the dance move popularized by Michael Jackson in the 1980s.
Investigators accuse Cross of using a semiautomatic rifle during the episode, but Cross claimed during his initial court appearance this week that the firearm was simply a pellet gun.

Should what you do determine when you retire?
Posting in Government
MADRID -- Spain's Rajoy government debates changing the retirement age from 67 to variable, based on life expectancy and employment.
MADRID -- Retirement is for many the light at the end of the tunnel. But, what if, your retirement plans weren't the same as everyone else's, but were based on what you do? Or based on your individual, statistical life expectancy? The Rajoy government, following the advice of the European Commission, is considering just that, as they look to cut the biggest chunk of the Spanish annual budget -- pensions.
Last Friday, the Spanish government sent their perspective 2013-2014 budget to the European Commission, the executive body of the EU. This is to see how Spain plans to meet their deficit targets in 2014, before any more aid is promised.
Spain shares the same problem with the rest of the Western world: the baby boomers are a drain on the social security coffers. The main focus of of the newly-proposed budget is cuts to unemployment insurance--now paid to nearly a quarter of the Spanish population -- and indirect cuts to pension plans -- which makes up a quarter of the entire Spanish national budget for 120 billion euros.
Cutting pensions and raising the retirement age each decade is simply referred to as a "sustainability factor." Rajoy and his cabinet are exploring a "more sustainable" and variable retirement age "based on the evolution of life expectancy." The average life expectancy in Spain is 81 and climbing.
The retirement and social security collection age was already pushed last year from 65 to 67. In the last decade, that age has increased from 61 to 63 and then to 65. The steps to raise the retirement age are all in-line with EU goals. Even though the 2012 budget just began, the 2013-2014 budget was presented to the European Commission last week, which is expected to complete the 102 billion euros in cutbacks the EU wants to see over the next three years.
One of Rajoy's goals is not to raise the set age of retirement higher than 67 -- yet --, but to make sure it's more greatly enforced. The effective retirement age is on average two years under the official age. In 2010, Spain had one of the highest averages in Europe at 63.5 years. One of the main goals of the budget sent to Brussels is to try to get the effective to meet the actual edad de jubilacion. When the standard was at 65, the average age to retire was 63. The trend seems to be following that now folks are stopping to work at age 65. Rajoy's team has sent a note along with their budget proposal, promising stricter laws about access to early and partial retirement to prevent further misuse of it. In addition, if companies push someone to an early retirement, they will now have to fund at least part of that pension. Right now, the government holds the entire burden of early retirees.
Another problem is that you can begin to collect retirement benefits currently at 67, but people do not have the option of waiting a bit to retire. Some Spanish, especially if they have lower-paying jobs, are willing to work until 70 years of age, but they don't have the option; retirement is a set process that you can, under current law, speed up, but not slow down.
Spain's business daily El Economista earlier this week had an article talking about how retirement should be a greater choice and that the laws extending the retirement age aren't even a bad thing, but that it must be a choice. The experts also countered the government's new policy against partial retirement. They think it's more natural to phase out the intensity, as well as phase out their income tax contributions. In general, it could be a smoother financial and professional transition for society as a whole.
When more than 100 billion euros from a budget, you need to get creative. The Rajoy government is even discussing predicting more specific life expectancy factors, like profession, into the retirement age.
Your life expectancy goes down when you work longer hours -- like sales, restaurant work or often mid-level management -- or when your trabajo is dangerous -- like police officers, firefighters, construction workers, loggers and deep-sea fisherman. Following this train of thought, since the construction backbone of the Spanish economy is broken, there are fewer people doing this back-breaking work, thus the general life expectancy will rise.
No matter what the age, the Spanish are not ready to see their pensions cut.
A recent survey by Accenture, subtitled "Majority of people globally are worried about outliving their money at retirement," found that 91 percent of the Spanish are worried about their financial situation after retirement., while a mere 17 percent think their savings will cover their financial needs upon retirement. The vast majority of the Spanish are worried what will happen to the future of their state-sponsored pension plans.
Since pension is part of the quasi-socialist government's package, there isn't a natural habit to save for retirement here. Up until the economic crisis, the focus of saving has always been in order to buy a home. Mortgages are often paid off before retirement, and then later, houses are usually passed down within the family. While saving is an idea, it's not something promoted through companies, who don't push for 401Ks or pension plans. You pay into the Social Security pension plan all your life and thus expect to depend mainly on that.
Of course, with nearly a quarter of the population unemployed and paying only the minimum in social security, it all comes back to Spain having a serious revenue problem.

Santo Domingo.- The choir of voices which asks for the head of Miguel Vargas, president of Dominican Republic's biggest opposition party grows by the hour, in the aftermath of Sunday's elections.
Several senior PRD leaders also demand a change of course after suffering its fifth consecutive defeat, spurring some to calling Vargas's attitude of distancing from the heat of presidential candidate Hipolito Mejia's campaign "treason."
Some lawmakers of the PRD party have even called Vargas a cancer which the political organization must extirpate if it plans to compete in future elections.
Ex PRD senator and vice president Jesus Vasquez said treason is never forgiven regardless of who commits it. "Treason isn't accepted in the divine order of God and we the human beings who believe in God have as a norm that you can commit any action in the life of a citizen, regardless of what it might be, except treason."
I am not a PRD follower, but I understood that Vargas Maldonado behave like a gentleman all the time.Vargas didnt do anything wrong..
Mejia was insulting him, and making fun of him all the time..He was picking up a conflict with vargas..
In fact vargas behave really properly...
PRD lost not because of Vargas , but because of the stupid things that Hipo did and say..and his conceited and arrogant attitude..
And they deserve it!
La Noche de Los Machetes Afilaos" se aproxima. LOL
Night of the Sharpened Machete Blades" is coming soon. LOL
Josey, where's your Pimp?
Comment at 7dias.com
From: Alejandro Martes
The PRD allowed Miguel Vargas to impose a Dictatorship in the PRD and now they are paying the consequences of The Purple Dictatorship that Leonel Fernandez, Miguel Vargas and Danilo Medina have imposed on the country.
So much struggle and sacrifice of blood and lifes to return to 1931.
The PRD must honor the memory of our heroes and heroines by REMOVING Miguel Vargas on May 30th as the first blow to the Goat Leonel Fernandez.
De: Alejandro Martes
El PLD dejo que Miguel Vargas Impusiera una Dictadura en el PRD y ahora paga las consecuencias de la Dictadura Morada que Leonel Fernández, Miguel Vargas y Danilo Medina han impuesto en el país.
Tanto luchar y tanto sacrificio de sangre y vidas para regresar al 1931.
¡El PRD tiene que honrar la memoria de nuestros héroes y heroínas DESTITUYENDO a Miguel Vargas el 30 Mayo como el primero golpe al Chivo de Leonel Fernández!
Miguel Vargas sold his soul to the Devel...
"Cuándo el niño nace feo,le echan la culpa a la partera"
"When the newborn is ugly,they blame it on the midwife"
That's what the ILLITERATE PRD GANG IS DOING TO VARGAS.
"Miguel Vargas sold his soul to the Devel..."
i.e. Narco-Lie-onel Fernandez!
PRD is guilty to chose the most stupid presidential candidate EVER.
Vargas has nothing to do with his failure.
PLD won.. you better acept your reality..
Hey PRD:
Want a chance at winning in 4 years?
Throw all the bums out. All of them.
As part of the new transparency of the PLD, OHHHHHHHdung is praising Vargas. He and his ilk want to make sure that the PRD nominates a sure loser like Vargas for the next election, so they praise his work. (Thsi is the old, the enemy of my enemy is my friend thinking)
Sure would like to hear OHhhhhh's campaign rhetoric if Vargas ever again runs for any office. Trust me he will not speak so flatteringly.
So...you can murder, steal, embezzle, intimidate and whatever else that could be on a long list???
Confession is not enough. You must pay the church indulgences. "Indulgentia plenaria perpetua quotidiana toties quoties pro vivis et defunctis."
Guillermo Moreno: "Danilo Medina elected with precarious legitimacy"
"That precarious legitimacy that comes from an abusive use of state resources in the electoral process and the intervention of the current President of the Republic in favor of the government's candidate"
May 24, 2012
SANTO DOMINGO, Dominican Republic. - The Country Alliance presidential candidate, Guillermo Moreno, said that after the passage of an electoral process, "there is a formally elected president but has a very precarious legitimacy."
Moreno pointed to Hipólito Mejia's speech saying it did not fulfill the expectations of the PRD base for "the least that was expected was legal action that would lead to prove the violations of law committed against the PRD. So it was surprising that was suggested was a call to pass a law governing political parties in a Congress dominated by the same party that carried out the violation of policies in the electoral process. "
Gullermo 2016
Non-sense. The PLD won close to 52% of the vote with many parties participating. The LAW OF THE LAND does not state that the current President has to abstain from helping his Parties nominee during campaigning. Nor does the LAW OF THE LAND prohibit a sitting President from "cutting ribbons" during this period for Project completion.
What the PRD and their NOT-so-secret admire Josey want to do is promote a DE-Legitimacy Campaign against Medina. Hopefully the Dominican people will see through this ploy and render their half-baked idea of a strategy null and void.
"Moreno pointed to Hipólito Mejia's speech "the least that was expected was legal action that would lead to prove the violations of law committed against the PRD."
They have none. If cedulas buying and other shenanigans happened both are guilty; I'm sure Guido's SUV was carrying baked cookies for dinner. LOL
Atabey is so defensively reactive because he Knows something is not Kosher here!
Today his Favorite PLD apologist Mouthpiece Listin Dario, other than himself, is reporting the scanners were tampered with!
"Dedicating 4 more years to fighting the Dictatorship of the Narco PLD Mafia!"
Dedicating 4 more year or fighting Josi Ane lies and misinformation and trying to cure his mythomaniac syndrom!

Don't forget to check out Touring Downtown Asheville and the great giveaway I'm hosting!
Then I was single, living by my own schedule. I worked freelance and lululemon, dined and did yoga with friends and spent most of my free time biking, swimming, running or in a local yoga studio. I was happy.
Now I am very much engaged to be married. I work at home (for now), doing freelance work and focusing more time on this blog. I don't have many local friends yet and my free time is spent with my hot man. I am happy (even more so). But something is missing.
I've said many times I don't exercise for weight loss or anything like that. I've been so active because it gives me time to think, calms my stresses and connects my self with the beauty of nature.
Since moving to Asheville and in with Richard I've been exercising much less in favor of staying warm indoors, saving money by canceling my gym membership and snuggling with my love.
I haven't swam in two months, haven't had a good bike ride outside since the Ironman and haven't finished a double-digit run since the 50k. I thought I was okay with this, remembering I'm in a new phase of life. Long workouts and tri shorts moved out for household chores and pretty aprons.
But I miss those bikes, rides and swims (and yoga classes!). No matter what those are the things I love and I'm just not the same without it.
In effort to be my best me (and as a result the best almost-wife to Richard), I've written down fitness goals for the next week. Also, I'm searching local gyms to find a place to swim. Aaaand checking out the local race calendar.
I'm psyched.
Richard and I are big Chipotle fans. They were on almost every corner back in Florida, but the closest location to Asheville is several hours away.
Yesterday we visited Urban Burrito, a Chipotle look-a-like with two locations in Asheville.
Maybe it was because we walked in with such high hopes, but we were less than impressed. I ordered the taco salad and Richard got a steak burrito. The flavors were bland and the rushed feel of the customer service was unsettling.
Oh well. You win some and you lose some!
Have you ever dismissed any look-a-like restaurants because of your love for the original?

At a college that prides itself on service, Libby Hurley's name has become part of the repeating soundtrack of student names associated with making the region a better place to live.
As her dedication to service grows, the senior from East Bend, N.C. has added a national position with a prestigious honor society to her ever evolving resume. At the Nov. 5 conference of the Cardinal Key Honor Society in Phoenix, Ariz., Hurley was elected by her peers to serve as the group's national vice-president. She currently serves as president for the E&H chapter.
Cardinal Key is open to all students of at least junior status in American colleges and universities with a cumulative 3.0 GPA, between 61 and 90 credit hours, and demonstrated scholastic achievement and leadership in the college community. Cardinal Key aims to honors these ideals, inspire leadership in others, and utilize leadership capabilities in an active program of service to school, community and country.
Among other service activities, the E&H chapter of Cardinal Key particpates in the annual St. Jude's fundraiser, Up 'til Dawn, in support of the St. Jude Children's Research Hospital.
Hurley's primary responsibility over the two-year appointment will be organizing the biennial Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation Walk held in conjunction with the national conference. On average more than 20,000 people participate in the walk that raises millions of dollars for research to find the cure for type I diabetes and its complications.
"I was very drawn to the position because of my love for non-profits and children," Hurley said.
The purpose of Cardinal Key is to recognize achievement in scholarship and extracurricular activities and to advance personal growth, patriotism and service by affording training for leadership in the college community.
Hurley hopes that her selection as vice-president can help shine the national spotlight on the college she loves. "I hope to use my position to help Emory & Henry partner with other colleges to make a bigger difference in the world," Hurley said.
The E&H chapter of Cardinal Key has a long tradition of being an active and effective group. The group's advisor, Dr. Jack Roper, is confident that Hurley's position will help the group better serve those in need. "Libby will not only help the many chapters in the U.S., but she will teach us much about how to run the local chapter better." Roper said.
Hurley is double majoring in theatre and history. She serves as the executive director for the local chapter of Up 'til Dawn, chapter president for Cardinal Key, resident advisor for Elm Hall, and secretary for the Greek Council. After graduation in May of 2012, Hurley hopes to work for St. Jude's or some other philanthropy.

It's a tad ironic that although I've lived on an island my entire life that I've never spent more than a day on a boat before. I've always been a bit nervous about committing to a long-term boat trip before as other peoples tails of misery from seasickness has always deterred me. However, when Gavin and Jody sent me an invite to spend two weeks on their boat "Discovery" with promises of long barreling lefts and not another soul insight, I would just be stupid to even attempt to come up with an excuse not to go on such an adventure. Plus, there's always an added allure to go somewhere new, especially to a remote destination like Madagascar.
As it was a last minute trip, my itinerary was not ideal. It involved a 4 stop, 5plane, 3.5-day journey (takes the same amount of time to get to the moon) and a few lost bags before reaching the port where Discovery was anchored. However, it was my best baggage experience ever. First, the check-in lady willingly ignored the surfboard charge because she was: "so happy to see you leaving Hawaii and seeing the rest of the world". I got my entire check in luggage checked through to Madagascar for only $40US. When I got to Antananarivo (the capital of Madagascar) my luggage was left in Kenya but the airline gave me $100US for compensation for delaying my bags and would later deliver them to the boat the following day. The whole experience resulted in making $60US and having my bags delivered to the boat all without ever seeing them since check-in in Hawaii a few days previous; by far the best experience I've ever had with check-in baggage.?After the mind-numbing journey, I rocked up to the luxurious Discovery. Discovery is a 57foot Lagoon catamaran, completely first class to say the least. Six cabins that comfortable sleep 12 and crewed with a full time 1st mate, full time gourmet chief and a captain who makes you feel so comfortable that you could swear you've been best friends for years. I couldn't help but wonder how lucky I was to find myself in this position.
With the freedom of living on a floating mansion for two weeks, Madagascar offered up a few different choices of world-class waves. The first being "TTs" or "Tony's Tavarua" named after the 20 year South African Madagascar local Tony. Tony has never been to Tavarua, but started calling this wave Tavarua after its close resemblance with the Fijian wave, Cloudbreak. The second is "Flameballs", this was by far my favorite wave that we found the entire trip. No one beside us for miles, this 100-200meter barreling left was our personal surf break. The only paddle surfers on board were: Captain Gavin, first mate Tim and myself. We were frothing on first site of the goofy foot's wet dream and wasted no time jumping in the water scrambling to get every wave that came through. There were more perfect waves coming through than the three of us could catch.
Going surfing was a bit of a trip for me as I am used to traveling with a bunch of wave junkies. However, aside from Gavin and Tim, I was the only surfer on board and the rest had no surfing background what so ever. It was the strangest feeling showing up to a perfect barreling wave with not another soul in site and being the only one excited about the scenario. It felt like I was the only one laughing at a movie in a full theater; it's a little uncomfortable. As the trip progressed the others on board started showing an interest in catching a wave, so the when the swell dropped of a bit we found a small right that was perfect for learning on. Everyone on board grabbed whatever they could: SUP, surfboard or boogie and jumped in the water for a surf/wave catching lesson. I took the SUP out and started barking instructions to everyone and to my own surprise, I managed to coach everyone to their feet and ride their first self caught (no kite/windsurf assisted) wave of their life.
One of the only days of no wind and no surf, we took advantage of the time off and booked a local zebu (local cattle) ride into the Adansonia forest. More commonly known as a "Baobab", it is a genus of eight species of tree, six native to Madagascar, one native to mainland Africa and one to Australia. The mainland African species also occurs on Madagascar, but it is not a native. They are an amazing and complex tree; growing as deep underground as above and some are thought to be thousands of years old, which is difficult to verify as the wood does not produce annual growth rings, so they use radiocarbon dating to be able to find out the age of a tree.
A few days after the Baobab excursion, the swell started to pulse again and Gavin and I were quickly on the rising swell with the SUPs. Unfortunately, the session didn't last long, or end well for Gavin. A late drop, with an odd angle cause Gavin to hit his rib on the hard, dense rail of the SUP causing him to loose his wind and struggle to keep afloat. No one saw the fall and he spent the entire set taking double overhead waves on the head with a collapsed lung, broken rib and a 12lbs SUP dragging at his ankle. Luckily after the set passed, Jody saw him waving for help on the inside and took the dingy to rescue him. After about an hour, he brushed the look of death off of him and walked away a little shaken up, and with a cracked rib. Truth be told, the man's an animal, from barely able to move, to walking around the boat, shouting instructions and commanding the Discovery within an hour and doing it all laughing about it and with a smile. Legend.
Despite the injury scare and the lack of wind (from the right direction) for wavering, the trip I couldn't have felt it more of a success. There were some great times had, a few new friends made and a lot of good waves caught. Madagascar has the potential for greatness, I just need to come back and find it!

Dennis Buchmann, who began his "My Little Farm" project in November, said visitors to his Web site can get to know the pigs on his colleague Bernd Schulz's farm before purchasing the sausage Buchmann makes from their meat, Deutche Welle reported Monday.
Buchmann said he loves to eat meat but prefers to know the animals had decent lives before ending up on his plate. He said he hopes his project will inspire people to eat meat consciously.
"Imagine you are a pig and you have this wonderfully big nose that's been genetically programmed to dig around in the ground all day long," he said. "But imagine you are standing on some concrete floor all the time, never able to use your nose in the way you should. It's very sad."

Scarlett Johansson is reportedly dating advertising executive Nate Naylor
By: Amy Andrews | Published Thursday, February 2, 2012, 10:30 AM | Updated Sunday, August 4, 2013, 6:06 AM
Scarlett Johansson
'The Avengers' star is said to have been secretly romancing the freelance creative director for the last six months, and they were spotted canoodling together in Manhattan, New York, at the weekend.
A source told RadarOnline.com: "They're keeping it very, very low key. He's not one for the limelight and fame and she likes that about him."
Scarlett, 27, and Nate were also spotted having a cozy dinner with three friends together at a restaurant in the city's Bowery Hotel.
Another source told the New York Post newspaper: "Scarlett was rubbing his back and kissing his neck.
"He was wearing a short- sleeve, V-neck T-shirt and had tattoos up his arm."

Meanwhile, Scarlett and her ex-husband, Ryan Reynolds - who she split from in 2010 after two years of marriage - have put the home they used to share together in Los Angeles up for sale.
The $3.6 million, four-bedroomed house in the Los Feliz Hills area of the city is eco-friendly with solar panels, floor-to-ceiling windows in the kitchen, living room and den and a private garden and outdoor bath connected to the master suite.
The couple - who finalized their divorce in July 2010 - bought the property in 2008 for $2.9 million.

Reader wants mall benches replaced
Dear Editor:
Brother can you spare a bench? Monty Arnold headed Community Action Agency's senior nutrition program for many years. Monty often reached into the congregation where we worshipped for help in delivering meals to homebound seniors, delivering and serving meals at food sites throughout Blount County and driving the van that picked up seniors.
Monty, who is gone now, would not take "no" for an answer when you protested, "I can't do that." Monty came back with, "Sure you can. See you at (such and such) time."
Thus began my journey getting to know those that persevered and built Blount County.
Once while driving the van a lady asked me to stop at a feed mill and buy her pig some feed until she got her check. I told the others on the van if they tattled on me I wouldn't pick them up (just kidding).
Did I mention the lady was raising a pig in a bedroom inside the city of Maryville, and when I took her home this 80-year-old woman threw that bag of feed over her shoulder and off she went. This pig was no pet, if you get my drift.
Many of the seniors I served kept us safe, fought our wars, built our roads, taught our children, raised our food, and their children and grandchildren serve Blount County today.
Foothills Mall has chosen to remove benches that seniors and many others used to sit a spell. Next will it be the children's play area and stop walkers in the mall? The mall manager said the mall couldn't afford to put them back. Maybe some group could sponsor a bench.
Yours truly,
Sylvia Fagg

Inspired by the Bible's account of the splendor of his temples and palaces adorned in glittering gold and copper, countless treasure-seekers have set off in search of King Solomon's mines. They have trekked through burning deserts and scaled the forbidding mountains of Africa and the Levant. Yet to date, the evidence that's been claimed to support the existence of Solomon and other early kingdoms in the Bible has been highly controversial. In fact, there is so little physical evidence of the kings who ruled Israel and Edom that many contend that they are no more real than King Arthur. During the summer of 2010, NOVA and National Geographic embarked on two groundbreaking expeditions to expose new clues buried in the pockmarked desert of Jordan: the ancient remnants of a mass industrial-scale copper mine and a 3,000-year-old message from the past with the words "slave," "king" and "judge." These cutting-edge investigations illuminate the legend of Solomon and reveal the source of the great wealth that powered the first mighty Biblical kingdoms.

Employment is projected to experience little or no change, primarily reflecting productivity growth and strong foreign competition in manufacturing. Job opportunities are expected to be good for qualified applicants in the manufacturing sector, particularly in growing, high-technology industries.
As assemblers and fabricators become more experienced, they may progress to jobs that require greater skill and may be given more responsibility. Experienced assemblers may become product repairers, if they have learned the many assembly operations and understand the construction of a product. These workers fix assembled pieces that operators or inspectors have identified as defective. Assemblers also can advance to quality control jobs or be promoted to supervisor. Experienced assemblers and fabricators also may become members of research and development teams, working with engineers and other project designers to design, develop and build prototypes, and test new product models.
Future job growth is projected to decline slowly or moderately

Editor's note: We watched this game on televison, while eating some barbecued spareribs and cole slaw on our laps. Not a bad way to spend a moldy Wednesday night!
"Matt Cain was perfect Wednesday night," according to the S.F. Chronicle.
"The Giants' 27-year-old right-hander retired all 27 Houston hitters at AT&T Park. A crowd of 42,298 witnessed the first perfect game in franchise history as the Giants waltzed 10-0.
"In the ninth inning, Cain got Brian Bogusevic on a foul fly to Melky Cabrera in left for the first out. Chris Snyder hit a routine fly to Cabrera for the second out."

Greyson talked about his relationship with Cody Simpson who he's headlining the touring with.
He talked about the fact that he met Cody at his birthday party and then they started to hang with one another more which eventually led to them discussing touring together. They actually presented the idea of touring together to their individual management teams who worked out the details and made it happen!
We already spilled the beans on this one, but Greyson talked about the fact that he and Cody are sharing a tour bus. The bus has been dubbed "The Party Bus".

KATHMANDU: Department of Foreign Employment has introduced a new provision for medical reports that migrant workers require with some revisions in the current system that Nepal Health Professional Federation has been following. A medical report is mandatory to avail a foreign job permit.
According to the department, the revision has been made to bring in uniformity in medical reports. "It is a new initiative in the Medical Examination Report and all medical centres issuing medical reports must follow it," said director at the department Kashi Raj Dahal.
The Gulf Cooperation Council Approved Medical Centres along with Nepal Health Professional Federation must follow the changed Medical Examination Report procedure. About 12 Gulf Cooperation Council approved medical centres and 205 medical centres associated with the federation have been issuing medical certificates for migrant workers.
Migrant workers and outsourcing agencies have to submit four copies of the MER certificate including the original certificate. "Medical certificates must have the hologram of Nepal Health Professional Federation," he said.
About 350,000 Nepalis have joined foreign jobs in recent years. The Gulf Cooperation Council approved medical centres have been issuing MER for Gulf countries while others have been issuing medical reports for Malaysia and a couple of Gulf countries like Qatar and the United Arab Emirates.
