text: I've been eating one full tub (the big one) every night before bed for the last three years. I never really payed too much attention to sodium content, but the other night I noticed how high it was. Is this a big problem? I'm not ever going to compete in any BB competitions, but I am worried about health, and I don't want to retain tons of water if I don't need to. I've considered switching to Ultra Peptide before bed, but I just really don't like the idea of having to take in powder as another meal. Whey already serves as part of my pre and post workout meals, and I don't want to resort to powder for a third time. I like whole foods. Any other suggestions for cassein?

The Warriors XBLA has screens, can probably dig it
Paramount's put out first proper shots of its XBLA Warriors remake. Get them after the break.
The game's out this summer as part of the film's 30th birthday celebrations.
Looks like Streets of Rage with bad make-up. Bear in mind this is made by CTXM: it's got nothing to do with Rockstar.
Solid date soon, hopefully.
Fri, Feb 06, 2009 | 22:24 GMT
The Warriors coming to XBLA this summer
A new Xbox Live Arcade game based on the gang fight brawler The Warriors will be released this summer, Paramount's confirmed.
The game is being developed by CTXM, not Rockstar who developed the decently-received console version back in 2005.
The release is part of the 30th anniversary celebration of the cult classic movie of the same name, which will also see a new comic book series and other goodies released around the same time.
There's a trailer on Joystiq.

Core Strength TrainingCore strength training is part of any well rounded fitness program. You might be asking what is core strength exactly? According to the Collins English Dictionary, core strength is the strength of underlying muscles of the torso, which help determine posture. Working these muscles goes a long way to improving your balance and stability. The good news about core strength training is it does not require any specialized equipment or a gym membership! If you are looking for a place to get started working on your core, the library has you covered. Here are a few recommendations:
I recently picked up Core Strength Training by Dorling Kindersley. If you are just starting out or a fitness expert, this step by step guide has it all. What I love about this book is each exercise has a clear diagram, shows what muscles you are/should be working, gives variations on the exercise, and rates each item on a difficulty scale. Also, there are tips on technique to ensure you are doing the exercises correctly and safely. At the back of the book, Kindersley puts together exercise routines - there is even a section that covers pregnancy. Look for it at your local branch.
A few others to check out: Core Strength for Dummies by LaReine Chabut and Delavier's Core Training Anatomy by Frederic Delavier. How do you work YOUR core?
I can suggest yoga - it strengthens your core fast.

"Once a Giant, ALWAYS, a Giant."
Grading a QB's decision making isn't something you can do by simply going to his ESPN stats. It's one of those attributes that you need to go to the film and review the entire 60 minutes. Schemes are huge in this regard as well because some offenses (like the Redskins) don't offer complex reads due to how they confuse the LBers so well.

this fact has nothing to do with who makes better decisions.
you gave me a stat stating they have the same number of interceptions over the last 3 years, but didnt take into account how many passes were thrown by each. brees threw almost 2,000 (1,985) passes in the last 3 years. eli has thrown 1,664.

GREEN HOUSE: By incorporating elements such as a solar water heater in a house built in the 1940s, the Now House Project in Toronto is aiming to eliminate energy costs and reduce greenhouse gas emissions.

North American homes, offices and other buildings contribute an estimated 2.2 billion tons of carbon dioxide to the atmosphere every year—more than one third of the continent's greenhouse gas pollution output. Simply constructing more energy-efficient buildings—and upgrading the insulation and windows in the existing ones—could save a whopping 1.7 billion tons annually, says a new report from the Montreal-based Commission for Environmental Cooperation (CEC), an international organization established by Canada, Mexico and the U.S. under the North American Free Trade Agreement to address continent-wide environmental issues.
"This is the cheapest, quickest, most significant way to make a dent in greenhouse gas emissions," says Jonathan Westeinde, chief executive of green developer Windmill Development Group in Ottawa, Ontario, and chair of the CEC report (who admits that green building regulations would be good for his business). But "buildings are not on the radar of any governments … despite being an industry that represents 35 percent of greenhouse gas emissions."
The report echoes the findings last year of the U.N. Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), which identified building improvements as one way to reduce global warming pollution with "net economic benefit."
"Residential is a slam-dunk, it's just a matter of applying the technology we have," says IPCC author Mark Levine, a senior staff scientist at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory in California who studies these issues. "It's the biggest sector. It's the biggest savings."
Yet, "green buildings"—defined by the report as "environmentally preferable practices and materials in the design, location, construction, operation and disposal of buildings"—represents only 2 percent of the commercial edifices in the U.S. and 0.3 percent of new homes.
"In Europe, they are much ahead of us on building," Westeinde says. "As North Americans we pride ourselves on smaller government and bigger activity in the marketplace. We're not seeing the market react fast enough."
A big part of the problem, he says, is that many builders are loath to invest extra money for more efficient energy and water systems that only translate into cost savings for the eventual owners. Westeinde's company gets around this dilemma by working out long-term financing arrangements with owners, who agree share a portion of their future cost savings with the developer.
He notes, too, that the price gap between energy-efficient and conventional construction might eventually disappear as green buildings become more common. "If everyone is using a certain type of window that drives cost down," Westeinde says. "Green construction is only 4 percent of the market which means the other 96 percent are creating a volume discount for themselves. But if green becomes 50 percent of the industry, that cost differential goes away."
The report calls for the Canadian, Mexican and U.S. governments to set specific targets for green buildings as well as to adopt continental standards, such as siting buildings in a way that maximizes passive solar heating and cooling.
"There is not that great a difference between green building in Oaxaca and Ohio," says Evan Lloyd, CEC director of programs. "It is the best systems and technology that can be applied to reduce energy consumption as well as paying attention to resource inputs."

Yesterday, the Center for American Progress, in anticipation of the coming anniversary of Superstorm Sandy, released a report highlighting the work of 50 "Storm-Ready Cities" across the country. Storm-Ready Cities are those that have taken steps to plan for and adapt to increasingly frequent extreme weather. At the League, we were pleased to see that the Center recognized two of our member communities, Ann Arbor and Grand Rapids, for their leadership and vision. Congratulations to the leaders of those two cities!
However, the list of communities in Michigan that are tackling this important issue does not start and end there. A growing number of other local governments are taking the steps necessary to become Storm-Ready. For example, the City of Marquette and the Southwest Michigan Planning Commission have each recently developed climate adaptation plans with the assistance of MSU Extension and the UM Graham Sustainability Institute. The City of Monroe is working with its neighboring townships and LIAA to integrate resilience into its master plan. And the City of Flint is tackling climate adaptation as part of its new Imagine Flint process.
The League is cosponsoring a conference February 25 & 26 at the University of Michigan-Flint that will showcase the work of these communities and others. To be notified when registration is open for that conference and to learn more about the resources available on this topic, join the Michigan Green Communities network.

Sorry for advertising my own product, but pretty much on topic here.
(Then you'll only need to hope that there are no software bugs bringing down everything.)

Dunno how it works in Germany, but I think the people should be able to decide for themselves what kind of education they want, whenever they want (+- a few years). And maybe more importantly: If you decide wrong at some point, you should be able to switch if you're good enough. I think the way it works in Finland is good enough. I dropped out of high school (wanted to code all nights), finished it 7 years later when I had more motivation, had no problem getting into university trying out something new interesting I re-learned at high school (biotech!), then deciding it wasn't really worth the trouble and switching back to computer science and getting a BSc out of it. The high school and college stories I hear from the US are pretty depressing usually.
My laptop comparisons nowadays:
Apple laptop:
Non-Apple laptop:
Until some laptop has MagSafe or similar I won't even consider it. I remember too well when I used to trip over the power cords and drag my laptop on the floor. Or break the power plug because it got twisted when moving the laptop in a bad direction. Or stepping on the power plug and breaking it. (Yeah, I don't treat my laptops all that well.)
I thought it was somehow referring to the "Captain's log" recordings.. Yeah, haven't watched that much star trek.
Any time you join an existing project you have to learn how to use its libraries, this is no different. Yeah, maybe you'll save a few hours of learning time if some of it is standardized by the base language. If that becomes a real issue with someone you probably shouldn't have hired him/her anyway.
I'm not sure what you mean. It's possible to have arrays of ints, floats and everything. Looks to me like your idea would assume that array works only on structs? Anyway here's the implementation: http://hg.dovecot.org/dovecot-2.1/file/tip/src/lib/array.h
Well, that kind of GENERATE_SORT() seems very ad-hoc way to do it and very specific to a sort.. My method looks more like this (dynamically growing type safe arrays):
#include "array.h"
int foobar_cmp(const struct foobar *f1, const struct foobar *f2);
ARRAY_DEFINE(foobars, struct foobar);
struct foobar f;
array_init(&foobars, 16);
array_append(&foobars, &f);
array_sort(&foobars, foobar_cmp);
I don't think that's much different (or more difficult) from how you'd do it with C++ templates. Of course implementing array.h is easier with C++.
It's also very hard to write type safe code properly in C. Just look at the classic example of the unsafe qsort versus the safer and faster std::sort.
You can do all kinds of nifty stuff with macros and gcc/clang extensions to provide type safety to C. Yeah, if you don't already have a library for that it can be a bit difficult to write one (or find one you like). But once you have the library it's very easy to write (mostly) type safe code with C. For example I have a type safe array_sort() in C.
I kinda did in my next sentence, but whatever..
But every implementation I've seen of a QR code reader in Android and IOS also gives you the option to inspect the content visually before acting on it. They ask if you want to proceed.
Of course one could argue the click-thru generation does not know enough to evaluate the content, but then these are the same people that no amount of malware/antivirus software can protect.
Is the confirmation something like OK/Cancel? I also tend to click OK buttons without hardly even reading them. That's why potentially security sensitive questions shouldn't have such simple buttons, but rather two (radio?) buttons that require you to read (and hopefully understand) what you're doing, such as: "Replace network settings from QR" and "Keep the existing network settings".
Yes, there are some advantages to using SQL database, like I said.. But I highly doubt "huge speed advantage" is one of them, unless you compare to a really badly set up system. I know people have switched from DBMail to Dovecot simply because Dovecot is so much faster..
Email isn't stored in SQL, because typically it's rather pointless. Full text search indexing doesn't require SQL, and it's more efficient without SQL anyway. There are some good use cases for storing emails in SQL database, but efficiency isn't one of them.
I wasn't planning on fixing all of security problems, but the typical case of clicking open random email attachments or running random programs from internet should and could be made safe, while still keeping the user interface user friendly. Those are the reasons for most of today's security problems.
SELinux doesn't address the problem. I agree with grandparent, although I think the focus should be more about on the UI side. The really low level implementation could perhaps be addressed with SELinux, but it's not a practical solution for any GUI app currently. For example how would you prevent Open Office from deleting everything in your home dir with SELinux, while still allowing it to read and write arbitrary documents? Yeah, you can't unless you manually go changing the labels every time you want to write somewhere.
I thought about how to implement an actually secure operating system in 2004, where you could safely just run any random program from internet, but no one cared to listen and I moved on.
Science is what happens when preconception meets verification.

Got an interview coming up? Avoid these questions:
1."When Will I get Promoted?" Instead, ask what is needed to earn one.
2. "What's the salary for this position?" Use the first interview to sell yourself, and bring up the pay for later of wait for them to.
3. "When can I expect a raise?" Because sometimes, there is none..
4. "What sort of flextime options do you have?" It sounds like you will be out of the office a lot.
5. Anything that shows you haven't been paying attention. LISTEN!

Optimism May Protect Against Heart Problems
Be happy—it's good for your heart. A new analysis by the Harvard School of Public Health suggests that having a positive, optimistic outlook may reduce the risk of heart attacks, strokes, and other cardiovascular problems. Researchers analyzed more than 200 studies from the past 15 years, and found that optimism, life satisfaction, and happiness were tied to reduced risk of heart disease and its progression. The most optimistic people, for example, had half the risk of a heart attack when compared to the least optimistic. Those with a strong sense of well-being also tended to have healthier blood pressure, cholesterol, and weight, and were more likely to exercise, eat well, get enough sleep, and avoid smoking. And for those who are naturally pessimistic? "That's a hard question. There's no magic happy pill," cardiologist Elizabeth Jackson, a professor at the University of Michigan, told the Associated Press. "Sometimes it's hard, particularly in tough economic times, but taking a moment to just relax and enjoy a sunny day might be good heart health."
Signs of Caffeine Addiction
Miss your morning cup of coffee and get a pounding headache? Feel grumpy if you haven't had a cup of Joe in hours? Caffeine addiction is easy to develop and hard to kick. Though caffeine is prevalent and legal, it's the most commonly used drug in the world. In addition to coffee, it can lurk in soda, tea, energy drinks, chocolate, gum, vitamins, snacks like "caffeinated peanuts," and even some over-the-counter medicines. Last year, "caffeine withdrawal syndrome" was recommended for inclusion in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Fifth Edition (DSM-5), which is used by mental health professionals to diagnose and research disorders. That's because caffeine can alter mood and behavior and caffeine withdrawal can interfere with sleep, work, and the ability to function at peak capacity. (The proposed revision has not yet been approved.)
"People are hesitant to think of [caffeine] as a drug of addiction because it doesn't have a lot of the health and adverse social consequences associated with our classic drugs of addiction," says Roland Griffiths, a professor in the departments of psychiatry and neuroscience at the Johns Hopkins School of Medicine. "Yet the basic mechanisms by which it hooks people are very much like our classic drugs of addiction."
Most people experience mild to modest withdrawal, Griffiths says, which is relieved by drinking coffee in the morning after abstaining from it overnight. Many people say, "'I really don't get going until I have coffee, [and] then I feel great.' What they're not recognizing is that if they didn't consume coffee [at all], they would wake up feeling great," Griffiths says. [Read more: Signs of Caffeine Addiction]
7 Mind-Blowing Benefits of Exercise
Maybe you exercise to tone your thighs, build your biceps, or flatten your belly. Or maybe you work out to ward off the big killers like heart disease, diabetes, and cancer. But how about sweating to improve your mind? "Exercise is the single best thing you can do for your brain in terms of mood, memory, and learning," says Harvard Medical School psychiatrist John Ratey, author of the book, Spark: The Revolutionary New Science of Exercise and the Brain. "Even 10 minutes of activity changes your brain." If you need a little extra incentive to lace up those sneakers, here are five ways that exercise can boost your brainpower.
1. It reverses the detrimental effects of stress. Jumping on the treadmill or cross trainer for 30 minutes can blow off tension by increasing levels of "soothing" brain chemicals like serotonin, dopamine, and norepinephrine. What's fascinating, though, is that exercise may actually work on a cellular level to reverse stress's toll on our aging process, according to a 2010 study from the University of California—San Francisco. The researchers found that stressed-out women who exercised vigorously for an average of 45 minutes over a three-day period had cells that showed fewer signs of aging compared to women who were stressed and inactive. Working out also helps keep us from ruminating "by altering blood flow to those areas in the brain involved in triggering us to relive these stressful thoughts again and again," says study coauthor Elissa Epel, an associate professor of psychiatry at UCSF.

Reviews for Vegetarian Stuffed Peppers(22)
Sort By :
It was good, just not quite as good as the reviews made it sound
I made these and my husband loved them. I did not use a slow cooker - I baked them in the oven for 45 minutes at 350. Because we had only four peppers I took the rest of the stuffing and filled two small baking dishes. These were cooked along side the stuffed peppers. I ate them with tortilla chips. Yummy!
My family absolutely loved this recipe. As a matter of fact, the meat lovers decided that meat is no longer necessary in a stuffed pepper!
I did make a few adjustments. I did not have time to wait 3&1/2 hours to bake the stuffing. So, I sauteed the vegetables in olive oil for about 10-15 minutes. As far as vegetables go... After reading reviews, I decided to omit the black beans, and black olives. I did use a whole can of red beans. Only because I love cooked cabbage...I also added cabbage to the mix. Once the vegetables were tender, I added the brown rice for about 1 minute. I then removed the skillet from heat, and folded the cheese in. I add a little Colby Jack, as well as the Monterey Jack. I baked the stuffed peppers for 30 minutes. They were absolutely scrumptious!
I am excited to add this recipe to my cold weather, comfort food night dinners!
I am a total meat eater, but my boyfriend has been trying to eat healthier. He doesn't usually like peppers, but he even ate the peppers with this recipe. We both liked it and didn't even miss the meat!
My gluten-free vegetarian daughter loved these, as did my son. Neither of them ate the outside bell pepper, but I ate all of mine! Yum!

Browsing Faculty of Education by Title
Pheko, B.C.; Kgosi Linchwe II (Routledge. http://www.informaworld.com, July NaN, 2008)[more][less]
Abstract: This article provides traditional and teachers' academic views on school leadership in Botswana. The traditional view is based on the practice used in the kgotla's system. This is a traditional way of engaging all people in a discussion, which has a community or national focus. The system emanates from the pre-colonial leadership approach based mainly on the Setswana proverb that 'kgosi ke kgosi ka batho'. This literally means a leader (king/kgosi) can lead with the support and active participation of those led in the decision-making processes. The academic view is drawn from teachers' understanding of school leadership in their context. The problem is that headteachers are generally seen to be the only school leaders and they too seem not to be actively involving teachers in the school decision-making processes. Their approach is centred in the modern construct of school leadership, which tends to emphasise the importance of a leader. This is in contrast to the Setswana indigenous view, which focuses on group consensus and effort in leading. The study indicates that the two views could be combined to produce a blend of a nationally rich cultural and modern approach to school leadership. The methodology of the study is based on the interpretive paradigm using the interview and the case study as methods. The research suggests that leadership is a concerted effort and effective leadership is possible if the headteacher is de-centred and the focus is on combining the traditional and modern approaches to develop a 'tune' in leadership. Finally it is argued that preparation for school leaders in Botswana should take cognisance of the Setswana culture so that headteachers do not find themselves isolated as a result of their positions but should cooperate with teachers.

Abstract: The paper is based on a study conducted in Botswana from June 2001 – February 2002 as part of an larger regional research project on Leadership, Civil Society and Democracy in Africa. In Botswana, the research was based on two non-governmental organisations, namely, Emang Basadi Association and Molengwane Ikemeleng Producer Cooperative. The study on Leadership, Civil Society and Democracy in Botswana has confirmed that well-led civil society organisations are a valuable instrument for democracy.

Abstract: This paper analyses Botswana's commitment to lifelong learning policy and discusses how it can help the state achieve its vision for sustainable development. First, it argues that while Botswana is renowned for its economic success, it still fails to address positively such traditional challenges as poverty, unemployment and income inequality, which are increasing disproportionately, especially among the youth and non-literate adults. These structural problems can be attributable partly to the low quality of education, which does not enable learners to reduce their risks and vulnerabilities. The paper outlines the concepts of lifelong learning and sustainable development and work from there to analyse the national education policy. It is acknowledged that the state made commendable progress in delivering basic, extension and continuing education since adopting lifelong learning in 1994. However, the delivery failed to use education to transform people's lives. The education itself failed to balance quantity with quality effectively to inculcate a culture of democracy. These issues need to be critically addressed because they invariably hamper Botswana's efforts to deliver quality education and attain its vision for sustainable development. Finally, the paper suggests that the education system should incorporate lifelong learning principles, effectively involve learners in decision making and teach for empowerment.

Maruatona, T. (Routledge http://www.informaworld.com, November NaN, 2006)[more][less]
Abstract: Lifelong learning has come to be internationally recognized as a framework in the development of sustainable education. However, in spite of rhetoric and its endorsement in some nations' policy documents, lifelong learning is not operationalized and Africa continues to be plagued by social maladies such as HIV/AIDS, capacity poverty, low quality education, global marginalization and ineffective governance. The article argues that post-colonial Africa transited from concern with service delivery, went through structural adjustment policies to focusing on African renaissance. It indicates that some countries have embraced lifelong learning as policy framework but have not made sufficient efforts to translate that in their teaching and learning. It contents that lifelong learning in Africa can only be effective if African communities are encouraged to make concerted efforts to embrace principles such as deliberative democracy, multiculturalism, decentralization of decision-making and helping to redirect the agenda of civil society as a way to use lifelong learning to enhance public participation in Africa.

Abstract: Environment and sustainability issues are contemporary in educational innovations in institutions of higher education particularly in their core business regarding teaching, research and community engagement. The introduction and implementation of the United Nations Decade of Education for Sustainable Development (UNDESD) (2005-2014) has added impetus to the contemporariness of environment and sustainability issues in education. This paper is based on the empirical data generated within a selection of University of Botswana departments and units to determine the extent to which sustainability issues and concerns are implemented. The paper provides the outcome of the audit exercise that indicated that some of the University of Botswana departments and units are not incorporating sustainability issues in their practices (be it in teaching, research, community engagement or management practices). The paper recommends a systematic approach to mainstream environment and sustainability issues across the faculties. URI: http://hdl.handle.net/10311/975 Files in this item: 1

Abstract: This article describes a small group intervention for HIV/AIDS prevention among adolescent girls in Botswana. The psychoeducational group model is designed to empower girls to overcome the gender inequality that puts women at increased risk of HIV infection in the country. Group goals include heightening group members' awareness of the influence of the restrictive social messages that surround them and assisting them in developing efficacy and skills to combat the barriers they face. Specific goals, strategies, and interventions for the initial, middle, and termination stages of the group are described. Indigenous and culturally relevant interventions are included in each stage.

Abstract: With an estimated 38% of the sexually active population infected, Botswana has one of the highest prevalence rates of HIV and AIDS. Since HIV and AIDS affect the most productive section of the population, it is expected to have a negative impact on the labour intensive agricultural sector. The study aims at measuring the impacts of HIV and AIDS on agricultural production in Botswana. The cross-sectional comparative study was conducted between July and September 2004 in three selected areas.... URI: http://hdl.handle.net/10311/222 Files in this item: 2

Abstract: Productivity is the buzzword in all organizations worldwide. Organizations, including schools are busy trying to enhance the productivity of their employees by introducing a number of interventions or incentives. One of the interventions that was introduced in education in Botswana was teacher appraisal, and one of its objectives was to motivate teachers to improve their performance. This paper is based on a combined quantitative/qualitative study that was carried out from a sample of 607 secondary school teachers in seventeen schools in the South Region of Botswana evaluating the effectiveness of the current appraisal process as carried out in secondary schools. It looks at how the process of teacher appraisal can motivate teachers to improve their performance of facilitating effective teaching and students' learning. The study revealed that if carried out properly, the appraisal process can motivate the teachers to do more. URI: http://hdl.handle.net/10311/649 Files in this item: 1

Abstract: The article critiques pregnancy policies in the education systems in sub-Saharan Africa. Policies discussed are divided into expulsion, re-entry and continuation policies. Arguing from the standpoint of theories of oppression, it is postulated that expulsion policies symbolise direct violence against girls who become pregnant and are more common in those countries with poor human rights records. Continuation and re-entry policies are prevalent in countries that have ratified the Convention on the Elimination of all Forms of Discrimination Against Women and the Convention on the Rights of Children. It is argued that re-entry policies also violate girl mothers' right to education through a retreat ideology that requires temporary withdrawal of the pregnant girl from school. Moreover, gender inequalities are built into the policies and supported by traditional and institutional ideologies that make re-entry of the girl mother into the school difficult. The Botswana re-entry policy is reviewed to illustrate difficulties in the readmission of girl mothers to school. URI: http://hdl.handle.net/10311/1040 Files in this item: 1

Abstract: This paper sets out to identify some key problems, issues and challenges relating to out-of-school experiences of learners in science teaching that emerged during classroom observations in schools in Botswana. Generally, there is evidence suggesting weak incorporation of learners' experiences into teaching. The experiences seemed to have a lower teaching priority than did formal universally accepted canonical science concepts. The study revealed that the relative merits of the science curriculum also appeared undermined by lack of teacher preparedness to handle the learners' out-of-school experiences. This paper also considers some of the implications of the research findings to science education in Botswana. URI: http://hdl.handle.net/10311/1113 Files in this item: 1

Abstract: This study investigated the classroom practices of moral education (ME) teachers in three (3) of the ten (10) Botswana senior secondary schools that are piloting the curriculum. The aim of the study was to gain insight into classroom practices and the challenges that moral education teachers face when implementing a new curriculum. Interviews and classroom observations were used to collect data from five (5) participants who were purposively sampled. The results suggest that teachers have a positive attitude towards the subject despite the challenges faced in implementing the new curriculum. This study finds that it is not always easy for moral education teachers to methodically follow a particular approach in teaching moral education, as per the expectations of the curriculum, since they are generally not sure which ones are the most appropriate. The findings of this study may be of use to curriculum planners, policy makers, teachers and researchers in education in their efforts to better understand the thinking and practices of teachers in classrooms.

Abstract: This study was conducted to determine the extent to which the teaching practices of Business Studies teachers in Botswana junior secondary schools conform to pedagogical practices recommended by curriculum planners. The findings of this study suggest that teachers and curriculum planners are not singing from the same hymnbook, thus, the pedagogical practices of Business Studies teachers are at variance with the expectations of the curriculum planners. Teacher-centred pedagogy is the dominant mode of instruction used to teach Business Studies in Botswana junior secondary schools despite the fact that curriculum planners advocate for a paradigm shift from teaching to learning through the employment of learner-centred entrepreneurial-directed teaching methods. The study concludes with the recommendation that, for pedagogical practices of business teachers to be aligned with those prescribed by curriculum planners, educational authorities and school administrators should put in place support structures aimed at monitoring and ensuring that the delivery of business education is done according to the stipulated business curriculum standards as well as enforcing the fulfillment of pedagogical practices set in the syllabi.

Abstract: Critical incidents of peer provocation in physical education were investigated among 675 junior secondary school students in Botswana. Data were generated through a brief, open-ended questionnaire requesting the students to narrate their experiences of bad, hurtful and offensive peer behaviours during physical education classes. Six overlapping categories of peer provocation that emerged from the data were: humiliation, injustice, physical assaults, sexual harassment; dangerous play and female physicality frighteners. These categories are discussed with reference to the themes central to boys' and girls' experiences. To the extent that peer provocation is differentially aimed at boys and girls, it is crucial to recurrently (en)gender its analysis. This study encourages educators in general and physical education teachers in particular to take heightened interest in, and reflect more critically about proactive ways to address the multiple domains and consequences of peer provocation in physical education settings.

Abstract: Participation in different forms of recreation and physical activities has beneficial effects on the health and health status of individuals. Physical inactivity has also been identified as a major health problem affecting many people in all regions of the world (World Health Organisation, 2002). Participation in physical recreation activities is influenced by several factors, e.g. time, interest, availability of facilities and accessibility to facilities (Scholtz, 1995; Sayed, Meyer & Monyeki, 2004). In developing countries several factors have been identified as precursors of physical inactivity, e.g. overcrowding, poverty, crime, lack of parks, and sports and recreation facilities (World Health Organisation, 2002). These factors often lead to the development of a number of health problems including hypokinetism, obesity, hypertension, premature mortality and increased prevalence of concomitant social and economic problems. In order to determine perceived barriers to sport and recreation participation in Botswana the modified Crawford, Jackson and Godbey's (1991) constraint assessment questionnaire which focused on five barrier categories, i.e. aptitude, socio- economic, socio-cultural, facility-awareness and facility constraint, was used. Specifically, the study examined the factors that preclude or limit Botswana people's frequency and quality of participation in sports and recreation, and the extent to which the barriers were distributed among the population. From an initial target sample of 2195 residents in six randomly selected communities in Botswana, data based on responses from 1664 (75.8%) correctly completed questionnaires were statistically analysed. Results indicated that the participants were constrained mainly by socio-economic, socio- cultural, facility awareness and facility inaccessibility barriers. These results provide relevant information for planning and delivering sport and recreation services as well as implementing intervention programmes for community health promotion in Botswana.

And if you are on the treadmill more then 1 hour a day and still arent losing weight or leaning down, you need to fix your diet, NOT do MORE cardio!--I have had SEVERAL trainers that have had me on 2 to-- NO JOKEl; 3 HOURS of RUNNING! It has lead me to severe injury and metobolic damage.... Once your body begins to expect 2-3 hours a day of cardio, anything less wont do anything for you -- the 2-3 hours will make you EXHAUSTED and generally your body will adapt, even if it is interval/sprint style and you will plateau...where do you go from there? 4-5 hours of cardio? NO! I am very sad to see trainers still destroying competitors like myself, which I fell victim to, by these long cardio sessions. The best way to continue to lean down when you see your body not responding to an hour of cardio is to alter your diet, AND/OR take a week or TWO off cardio completely-- YUP believe it or not, it will respark your metabolism to respond to the cardio again. Dont become a slave to the treadmill, there are other ways to lean down and burn that fat =)

As the horse meat scandal continued to spread across the continent, European Union officials scheduled a Wednesday meeting to discuss the issue, an Irish official said Monday.
Simon Coveney, Ireland's agriculture minister, called for the informal session in Brussels, Belgium, inviting the EU Health Commissioner Tonio Borg and ministers from other European Union nations.
Coveney said officials need to take "whatever steps may be necessary at EU level to comprehensively address this matter."
French officials said Monday they will take measures to ensure that no suspicious products remain for sale.
Officials said customers of the food supplier at the center of the uproar, French-based Comigel, will be inventoried.
"We will look (starting Monday) at who their clients are and, as a consequence, we will see what products will have to be taken off the market because there is a reasonable suspicion that these products are composed of horse meat and not beef," said France's junior minister for the social economy, Benoit Hamon.
Horse meat has been discovered in products that are supposed to be 100% beef sold in Sweden, the United Kingdom and France. As many as 16 European nations may be involved in the supply chain, officials say.
French officials said that they should know by Wednesday whether fraud or negligence is to blame for the scandal.
Agriculture Minister Stephane Le Foll said regulators weren't at fault.
"This is not a regulation failure," he said. "We have to stop saying that just because there is a fraud. That's like saying that just because there are police officers around and that an accident happens, there is a failure on the part of the police officers."
Tesco, which operates grocery stores in 14 countries worldwide, said Monday it discovered horse meat in spaghetti bolognese products made by Comigel. Most of the samples showed small amounts of horse meat, but three contained more than 60%, Tesco said in news release.
"The level of contamination suggests that Comigel was not following the appropriate production process for our Tesco product, and we will not take food from their facility again," said Tim Smith, a Tesco executive.
Also Monday, Romania denied any responsibility in the scandal. Prime Minister Victor Ponta said the two Romanian slaughterhouses initially suspected to have links to the horse meat scandal never had direct contact with Comigel and haven't done anything illegal.
"This tendency to throw the responsibility as far away as possible, eventually to the new members (of the European Union), to countries that might have a weaker PR policy, is something that bothers me," he said.
Minister of Agriculture Daniel Constantin said there is no evidence false horse meat labeling occurred in Romania.
The news conference came in response to food supplier Findus France saying it will file a legal complaint against a Romanian business that is part of the supply chain. It did not name the business publicly, nor did the Romanian officials.
Authorities in Europe have said there is no immediate cause for health concerns, but government officials in the UK and Sweden are testing the meat to be sure there is no danger to public health.
The blame chain and legal action
Swedish food producer Findus announced Thursday that it had withdrawn its lasagna from stores as a precaution. The products were pulled Monday after Comigel raised concerns about the type of meat that was used, Findus Sweden said.
Findus said a letter from Comigel dated February 2 informed Findus that the contamination may date back to August.
