West Yorkshire police chief Sir Norman Bettison to retire in March
12:24am Friday 5th October 2012 in News By Kathie Griffiths, T&A Reporter
West Yorkshire's Chief Constable Sir Norman Bettison says he will retire next year amid pressure to resign in the wake of the Hillsborough report.
As part of the announcement last night he said "crime is down and public confidence is up" and he added that the record of his leadership "will speak for itself".
The announcement he will retire on March 31 comes after recent demands from victims' families, including those in Keighley, that he should go.
But Keighley Conservative MP Kris Hopkins said he will be "disappointed" if Sir Norman is still in his high-ranking post by March.
"He hasn't resigned at all, he has only announced his retirement at his own convenience. There's an enormous amount of pressure and there's an inquiry going on and I hope he gets an opportunity to contribute fully to that."
Sir Norman was referred to the police watchdog, the IPCC, last month over his conduct following the Hillsborough disaster in 1989 when he was an off-duty South Yorkshire Police inspector and later took part in an internal inquiry.
After the report into the football tragedy was published, the Telegraph & Argus reported demands for Sir Norman's resignation from Keighley businessman Trevor Hicks whose two teenagers daughters died in the disaster.
Sarah and Victoria were among the 96 lives lost – another victim was Tony Bland from Keighley who spent more than three years in a persistent vegetative state after his brain was starved of oxygen. He died in 1993 after his parents won a legal battle to allow a life-sustaining feeding tube to be removed.
Mr Hicks had told the T&A that Sir Norman should "take a look at his own position" after a damning report laid bare a shocking cover-up which attempted to shift the blame for the April 1989 tragedy onto its victims.
The Hillsborough Independent Panel, chaired by the Bishop of Liverpool the Right Rev James Jones, revealed South Yorkshire Police had made "strenuous attempts" to deflect the blame for the disaster onto innocent fans.
The panel's report also said 41 of the 96 who died could have potentially been saved if they had received treatment earlier.
In a statement last night Sir Norman (left) said: "My term of appointment with West Yorkshire Police was due to end in January of this year, but was extended with the approval of the Police Authority and Home Secretary. However, recent weeks have caused me to reflect on what is best for the future of policing in West Yorkshire and I have now decided to set a firm date for my retirement. I have offered this proposal to my police authority."
And he added: "I hope it will enable the Independent Police Complaints Commission to fully investigate allegations that have been raised about my integrity. They need to be fairly and fully investigated and I welcome this independent and formal scrutiny.
"The record of my leadership of West Yorkshire Police will speak for itself. Crime is down and public confidence is up."

He should have been suspended pending an investigation as soon as the report on the tragedy and the extent of the Police cover up was published.

Just because he retires doesn't mean he can not be hauled before committees and asked to account for his actions over Hilsborough. But he has friends in high places, largely because he helped the Thatcher government destroy the miners, so I'm not expecting too much.

Does anybody think that this man who has been payed handsomley all is adult life, actually believe that he's holier than thou. Take the money away, he will be driving without insurance,tax,mot just to get to his lowly paid job.Why is it the wealthy never break the law. The law is built on haves and have not's. Those that have seek knighthoods, those that don't get a £300 fine and leave the court in the knowledge there a parasite.
This man graduated with a Bachelor of Arts (BA) in philosophy and psychology from the University of Oxford, which was later upgraded to a Master of Arts (MA), and gained a Master of Business Administration (MBA) in business administration and media studies from Sheffield Hallam University, this alone gives him openings in higher paid positions in any employment he chooses. There is no doubt he has worked very hard all his working life. His autocratic style has made him may enemies and shown him to be very selfish, which he should be ashamed of.
Secondly, where do you get off with car insurance? It should be a criminal offence to have no insurance, anyone driving a car without cover should be dealt with ruthlessly, those types increase the premiums for all decent law abiding drivers. As far as throwing this on the man is a sign of your ignorance and inability to form an intelligent debating stand point.
I do wish you were Anywhere but here!

Footy: Tim Weatherald
11/05/2012 , 12:07 PM by elk Kovaricek
Talking about it afterwards helped footballer Tim Weatherald get through the most traumatic experience of his life.
The Sturt footballer and Magarey medallist was one of the young footballers celebrating the end of season in Bali when bombs ripped through both the Paddy and Sari nightclubs.
He survived but teammate Josh Deegan and former Sturt player Bob Marshall didn't.
Tim spoke to Peter and our footy gurus Lincoln Tyner and Lawrie Colliver about the events of that fateful evening but also of his distinguished career in SANFL.
He played 310 games over 16 seasons for both the Double Blues and then the Norwood Redlegs.
In his final season in 2010, under the coaching of Nathan Bassett, Norwood went within a kick of defeating Central District in the grand final, losing a 'heart stopper' by just six points.
These days you'll find Tim teaching PE at Prince Alfred College; he is also one of the 'expert' commentators on ABC TV SANFL telecasts.

At first I wanted to order a dark colored bed as those are easier to clean, but fortunately I have change my mind when seeing the great price of this bed, and ordered this instead. The quality is really great and the look so elegant and fresh that it leaves you breathless. The material is easy to clean and I sleep like a baby as it is extremely comfortable.
I did not realize when I ordered the bed that it was upholsterd with a leather like material instead of fabric upholstery. I was nervous about how the leather would look whether it was be cheap plastic feeling leather but it is very lovely and soft leather. The bed is absolutely gorgeous and is very well built and sturdy. Putting it together was very easy to follow the instructions and only took about an hour. I am very pleased with everything including shipping the box was not damaged at all everything came in perfect condition. I would definetely recommend this site and bed for anyone looking at this.
This bed has really made our old mattress feel brand new. The structure of bed is durable and strong. It's been great sleeping on this bed because we don't need a box spring and the headboard is soft to the touch.
There is nothing better than having a good night sleep in comfort. I always imagined I have a comfortable bed until I ordered this one. My new bed is beyond comfort, it is my own island of relaxation. I wake up every morning feeling fresh and renewed and I am fit all day long. Beautiful, elegant and really affordable. The best deal made.
I fell in love with this bed at first sight. I wanted a beautiful, large and comfortable bed for so long and now I have it on a perfect quality and price. The headboard is the best, simple and really elegant in design, while assembly was easy and parts are durable. I sleep like a baby every night.
I was very nervous ordering a bed online that I had never seen in person. I got the run around from the "white glove" delivery company in which they held my bed for extra week for no reason and I had to call them several times to get a delivery date! Needless to say my bed FINALLY arrived and I absolutely love it! Very sleek and modern and the quality of the bed is great! Took about an hour to put together and it is very sturdy! I would totally recommend this bed to anyone looking for great quality with bargain pricing!!!
Overall, I love this bed! Although they delivered the wrong color, I am very pleased of my purchased. It has the elegant style I wanted. Make sure to select the color option as it can be misleading.
The bed we ordered had 3 1/4 inch holes poked in the faux leather. Luckily we examined well at delivery and noticed the damage. The delivery men and customer service were wonderful during the process. I am actually a little relieved it did come In damaged because once I saw it in person I was a little disappointed. I felt the faux leather looked "faux". I asked for a refund instead of a replacement. Again-customer service was great and I was quickly refunded though.
Great design. Easy to assemble. ( 1 male is enough). Read the instructions.
It was my first time to buy a bed frame without seeing in real. When I first saw this frame, I just fell in love with this. I am really satisfied with this purchase.

Gambrill State Park
Gambrill State Park is a beautiful mountain park, located on the ridge of the Catoctin Mountains in Frederick County. Its most popular feature is the 16 miles of trails for hiking, mountain biking, and horseback riding. The park is separated into two areas, the Rock Run area and the High Knob area. From the 1600-foot High Knob, three stone overlooks offer breathtaking views of the Frederick and Middletown Valleys then continue to the northern reaches of the Shenandoah Mountains. The High Knob area also offers wooded picnic areas, three picnic shelters, and a large stone lodge, called the Tea Room. The picnic shelters and the Tea Room are available for reservation. The Rock Run area offers a cozy family-style campground, a picnic area, and a small pond for fishing.
History of Gambrill State Park
Gambrill State Park was named in honor of the late James H. Gambrill, Jr., a well-known citizen of Frederick. Mr. Gambrill was a conservationist who first brought attention to the beauty of the area in the early 1900s. He believed that it was in the publics best interest to develop the area into a park. Following his lead, a group of local citizens joined together to purchase the land. The group then donated the land to the City of Frederick to be used for a park. The City of Frederick soon-after gave the land to the State of Maryland for the development of Gambrill State Park.
Special Events
Bike Demo - Saturday, April 13, 2013 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.
Gambrill State Park will host the Bike Doctor and Trek Bicycles in the High Knob Area on April 13, 2013 from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. for Trek Bicycle demonstrations.

Pet Policy
Pets are allowed in Gambrill State Park in the following areas:
- Pets are allowed in campground
- Pets are allowed on all trails
- Pets are allowed in day-use area
The Civilian Conservation Corps
Most of the buildings and facilities within the park were built by the Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC) in the 1930s. The CCC was a Federal program that was created during the Great Depression. The goal of the program was to create jobs for young men and to help restore the nations struggling natural resources.
Gambrill has over 16 miles of trails for hiking, mountain biking, and horseback riding. All trails begin at the Trailhead Parking Lot on Gambrill Park Road, between the Rock Run area and the High Knob area. Many of the trails feature great views. Due to the rocky terrain and steep hills, most of the trails are rated moderate to difficult. However, the White Oak Trail is an easy one-mile loop trail, which makes it a good choice for families with small children. All trails close at sunset. Pets are allowed on the trails, but must be kept on a leash at all times.
All trails are open to horseback riding with the exception of the White Oak Trail, which is restricted to hiking. Parking for horse trailers is limited.
Features of the Tea Room
The Tea Room has been a popular feature of Gambrill State Park for over 70 years. The Tea Room is a native-stone building, built by the CCC in the 1930s. It was originally designed for community events and gatherings. Today, the building remains a popular location for weddings, family reunions, business meetings, and other special events.
The Tea Room has a kitchen, a dining room, and two restrooms. The kitchen is designed for cooking and serving food, with a refrigerator, sink, and conventional oven. Tables, chairs, and firewood are also provided. The building is available for rent from April through October, and can accommodate up to 75 people. Pets are not allowed in the Tea Room.
Picnicking and Picnic Shelters
Picnic tables, grills, restrooms, and playground facilities are available at Gambrill State Park. The High Knob area also offers three rustic log picnic shelters, available for rent from April through October. Pets are allowed in the day-use area
The Rock Run area of Gambrill State Park has a campground with 34 campsites. Tent camping will start April 5, 2013. Each campsite has a picnic table, fire ring, and lantern post. Some campsites also have electric hook-ups. All types of camping units are welcome. A dump station is available for sewage and potable water. A bathhouse is located at the center of the campground, with hot showers and flush-toilets. Pets are allowed in the campground, but must be kept on a leash and attended at all times.
Four camper cabins with electricity are also available in the Rock Run Campground. Camper cabins are designed to sleep up to four people, with one bunk bed and one full size bed. Linens are not provided. Each cabin site has a picnic table, fire ring, and lantern post. All cooking must be done outside the cabin. The cabins do not have heat or air conditioning.

GLEN ELLYN – Literary enthusiasts are invited to attend BookFest 2013 in Glen Ellyn to celebrate the world of books and see what authors from the Chicago area and beyond have to offer.
This is the fourth year for the literary festival, which is sponsored by the Glen Ellyn Public Library and downtown Glen Ellyn businesses The Bookstore and Bundles of Books and Gifts.
"I always tell people who are coming into the library for the first time, this is a curious community," said Adult Programming Librarian Amy Franco. "They come to learn. They come with questions."

MARTIN, Tenn. – The University of Tennessee at Martin women's basketball team will close out its three-game homestand at 4 p.m., Saturday, when they host Southeast Missouri State in the Kathleen and Tom Elam Center.
The Skyhawks look to end the homestand on a positive note after this past Saturday's 66-63 setback to SIU Edwardsville.
Juniors Heather Butler and Jasmine Newsome led the Skyhawk scorers with 18 and 15 points respectively against SIU Edwardsville. Freshman Katie Schubert hit a trio of 3-pointers and finished the game with 11 points.
UT Martin head coach Kevin McMillian said his team is faced with the lack of depth. Injuries have sidelined Cortrice Golden and junior Megan White for the rest of the season.
"Hopefully we still have time to figure out the pieces to this puzzle and make a run," McMillian said.
After overcoming an 8-0 SIU Edwardsville lead, the Skyhawks claimed a 16-14 advantage when Butler drained a 3-pointer with 9:29 to play in the first half. The Skyhawks led three other times by two points, and even stretched their lead to five points, 23-18, with 5:21 to play.
In the second half the Skyhawks led 45-33 with 14:24 to play. Butler hit another 3-pointer. However, SIU Edwardsville's Berry made it a one-point game, 52-51, when she canned a free throw with 7:15 to play. With 6:37, Berry made a layup and SIUE led 53-52 and never looked back.
With :54 to play in the game, Butler made it a two-point contest, 65-63, but that is as close as the Skyhawks could get.
Southeast Missouri State enters the game after a 67-62 victory over SIU Edwardsville Monday. Kara Wright scored 20 points for the third time in six games to lead Southeast Missouri State.
Southeast shot 40.6 percent from the field and hit 7-of-18 (38.9 percent) three-pointers while going 12-of-14 (85.7 percent) at the line. Southeast forced 18 SIUE turnovers and committed only nine miscues.
Wright made 7-of-15 field goal attempts and went 3-of-5 from three-point range to lead Southeast Missouri State. Twelve of her points came in the second half.
"At this point in the season, I feel like we are playing our best basketball," Southeast
Missouri State second-year head coach Ty Margenthaler said. "I like mentally where our team is."
Earlier this season, UT Martin claimed an 82-71 victory over Southeast Missouri State. UT Martin sports a 11-14 overall record and a 6-5 OVC worksheet, while Southeast Missouri State is 4-8 in the league and 10-15 overall.
Fans can listen to the game on 95.1 WCDZ or watch the game on the OVC Digital Network.

One of the charges often leveled against the Protestant Reformation is that it essentially continued, and in some accounts exacerbated, fundamental problems with the received medieval models of the relationship between church and state. As Lord Acton put it memorably, "From the death of St. Bernard until the appearance of Sir Thomas More's Utopia, there was hardly a writer who did not make his politics subservient to the interest of either Pope or King." There was nothing approaching a modern doctrine of religious liberty in the views of the major Protestant and Roman Catholic traditions of the 16th century.
The reformer Wolfgang Musculus (1497- 1563), himself a source for what would come to be known as an...
Peter Schweizer is the William J. Casey Fellow at the Hoover Institution, Stanford University and a best-selling author. He is a partner in the Washington firm Oval Office Writers which provides speechwriting and communications services for corporate executives and political figures.
His most recent book is Throw Them All Out: How Politicians and Their Friends Get Rich off Insider Stock Tips, Land Deals, and Cronyism That Would Send the Rest of Us to Prison (Houghton Mifflin Harcourt, 2011). It was the subject of a feature on CBS' 60 Minutes and in Newsweek...
There is no evidence that Mark Felt, identified by the code name Deep Throat, ever whispered "follow the money" to Washington Post reporter Bob Woodward during the Watergate investigation just over 40 years ago. It's a line that lives on in the film All the President's Men. It's assumed to be true because it accurately depicts the situation in our government where many corporations and politicians profit from state power and expansion.
Cronyism is a full frontal assault on the free society. Author and Hoover Institution fellow Peter Schweizer talks about the crony crisis that infects the culture of Washington and many corporate board rooms. "I would say some of the biggest enemies of the free market today in America are big corporations," adds Schweizer. He also delves into how big government wedded to corporations threatens...
Profits are central to capitalism, and I am often asked whether profit making is evidence of greed. Not in itself. The fact that a business is profitable tells us little that is morally relevant. Profit, after all, is simply the name that accounting attaches to the condition of income outpacing costs. In other words, a company that earns a profit brings in more money than it expends for all of its costs, including materials, real estate, labor, and taxes. The opposite of profits is financial loss. A firm that is losing rather than making money cannot long survive. So, under ordinary circumstances, profits are a necessary condition for the success and continuation of a business.
Of course, the government can bail out unprofitable businesses at taxpayers' expense. But that only shifts the need for profits to the other— profitable—enterprises that pay the taxes....
"He alone can in truth call himself sovereign who is master of himself, who is not subject to his passions and conquers by charity."
Born Theodore Kolychev, Metropolitan Phillip II of Moscow, a saint of the Orthodox Church, took the name Philip when he was tonsured a monk at the monastery of Solovki in northern Russia, on an island in the White Sea. Though his father had been a minister in the court of Basil III, he chose instead the life of a monk at one of Russia's most remote monasteries.
Having advanced to the point of living as a hermit in the nearby forest, Philip succeeded the abbot Alexis as head of the monastery at the latter's request. As abbot, Philip set about to improve the monastery by encouraging a...
Starting in 2010, the Acton Institute began developing a seven-part stewardship curriculum to strengthen the connection of faith, calling and economics in the daily life of the believer. The small group curriculum for Our Great Exchange is largely tailored for evangelical small group engagement and features over two hours of creative storytelling and practical insight. In a particularly moving scene, Chuck Colson, in his last-ever extensive interview, talks about his calling and its impact upon his life.
Acton is committed to continually reach new audiences. This resource further engages people in the church and discipleship communities. The curriculum is another great launching pad for us to continue to grow as we expand our reach and influence with additional stewardship resources for churches and small groups.
The curriculum ties directly into our mission to...
Review of Silent Spring at 50: The False Crises of Rachel Carson. Edited by Roger Meiners, Pierre Desrochers, and Andrew Morriss (Cato, September 2012) ISBN: 978- 1937184995. Hardcover, 344 pages; $25.95.
During the 50 years following the publication of Rachel Carson's Silent Spring, much has been written to discredit the science of her landmark book. Little, however, has been written on the environmentalist cult it helped spawn.
Until Silent Spring at 50, that is.
Subtitled "The False Crises of Rachel Carson," Silent Spring at 50 is a collection of essays specially commissioned by the Cato Institute and edited by Roger Meiners, Pierre Desrochers and Andrew Morriss. Much like Roger...
Review of Dennis Prager's Still the Best Hope: Why the World Needs American Values to Triumph, (Broadside Books, April 2012) Hardcover, 448 pages; $26.99.
Dennis Prager argues for a rebirth of a particular American exceptionalism: the distinctive aspects of the American ethos rooted in the once considerable but now misunderstood Judeo-Christian moral union. Prager claims that traditional American conservatism is distinctive because of its ethical decency, high ideals, moral values, and intrinsic visionary worth. Rejecting the establishment's liberal vs. conservative rhetorical dichotomy, he depicts today's political liberalism as Leftism, while positioning traditional...
Sadly today, we live in a fatherless society. Currently, just over 40 percent of American children are born out of wedlock. In the United Kingdom, it is a majority. This is easily one of the biggest social disasters our country faces. It's hard to imagine a lot of spiritual and economic blessings for a society that continually treads down this path. It's hard to believe that many of the economic and cultural problems that plague this country will be transformed if statistics like that remain unchanged.
The book of Malachi has a recurrent theme of unfaithfulness to God and the family. God takes seriously the commitment to the family and promises judgment against those that fail to keep his...
In the current settings of the HHS mandate, some Catholics in America have come to feel as if there is no hope left; Bishop Daniel R. Jenky of Peoria said, "I am honestly horrified that the nation I have always loved has come to this hateful and radical step in religious intolerance." Intolerance or religious persecution is of course not new and the issue today brings to mind an important and underappreciated chapter in American history.
In 1774 Maryland remained undecided on the issue of American independence sweeping across mainly Calvinist New England. While the Stamp Act was unpopular overall, the issue of separation had far less of a following than in New England. A debate between a man calling himself "First Citizen...
In early January 2013, a United Nations special envoy reported that the civil war in Syria had reached "unprecedented levels of horror" with an estimated death toll of more than 60,000 people. In the wake of the Arab Spring uprisings, the situation for Christians in Syria, and in many parts of the Middle East and North Africa, continues to deteriorate.
The Russian Orthodox Church has been among the most active witnesses against Christian persecution in Syria and other countries around the world. In a statement about the Middle East, the Russian Bishops' Council warned of "the...
Christianity is the world's most persecuted faith today. Around 200 million Christians are denied fundamental human rights solely because of their faith in Christ. Metropolitan Hilarion of Volokolamsk, who is chairman of the Russian Church's Department of External Church Relations, is especially vocal against the crisis of slaughter and persecution that has persisted after the "Arab Spring." Sadly, this issue has far too few voices sounding the alarm, but the Russian Metropolitan is an important defender of religious freedom and the rights of Christians around the world.
Metropolitan Hilarion is also involved in ecumenical relations with Roman Catholics and conservative Protestants. He touches on the topic in this interview and how the surge of liberal Protestantism is damaging Christian unity and cooperation with the Western world. This too, is a topic that...
One of the main keys for a successful social media strategy is having timely, professional, and relevant content to share. Almost everyone today is bombarded by content from virtually everywhere. At Acton, we face fierce competition from a wide variety of news and opinion sites vying for the attention of the busy. We want readers of Acton's print and digital content, and video productions, to know that investing their time in our resources is valuable for them and it's beneficial for their intellectual and moral growth.
Acton has a unique and rich message to share with the world and we are working hard at broadening our social media reach every day. We know that our content can help shape and influence a free and virtuous society. We reach popular opinion makers but also the faithful individuals active in their businesses, and in their churches and synagogues.
Freedom is a word that can mean dramatically different things to different people in different settings. The kind of freedom that leads to human flourishing—and that is sustainable over time—is freedom in a much richer sense than what many people mean by freedom today.
Let me take the point even further. True freedom is actually the opposite of what has been called "freedom" at some times and some places. One example from the previous century illustrates what I mean.
The Constitution guaranteed freedom of speech, freedom of assembly, and freedom of religion. I'm not talking about the U.S. Constitution, although the same could be said of it. I'm talking about the Soviet Constitution of 1924. And after that constitution took effect, political dissidents were brutally suppressed; priests, ministers, and rabbis were deported to the Gulag;...
"It is only when men begin to worship that they begin to grow."
Calvin Coolidge was deeply committed to limiting the power of the state. But his desire to check the expansion of the federal government was always rooted in America's founding principles. He declared of the founders, "They were a people who came under the influence of a great spiritual development and acquired a great moral power." Coolidge has often been referred to as "the last Jeffersonian president."
Coolidge was sandwiched in between the rise of Wilsonian and New Deal progressivism. He was deeply critical of those that wanted to harness the state as an overseer of the community and individual man, a project that had...

Not outside the U.S., but I don't get your question. What difference would it make where you are on the planet regarding using the G4? As long as you can get the supplies for it, you should be fine. And, many pregnant women use the Dex. The company can't provide data on how it acts with frequent hormonal changes, etc. Research projects omitted women from drug studies for many years but the docs still prescribed the studied heart meds to women. Now research must include a representative sample as one part of a robust study. Maybe that will occur with cgm some day.
Would suggest you follow the Dexcom group here on Tudiabetes as well as the sixuntilme blog. You will need help from time to time from other users. Also, I don't know if there is a pregnancy group on here but there probably is. Just search for it.
Hey Neil,
Thanks for the suggestions. I asked the question because the lady at Medtronic Hong Kong office told me that their CGMS has some frequency settings and if I bought their device in UK for example, it might not work in HK. The "frequency settings" on their machine between US and HK are the same.
it's more a technical question which I'm awaiting for a response from Dexcom.

Oh My God!
This breakfast would send my cholesterol into the stratosphere. I have syndrome X. Diabetes 2, hypertension, very high cholesterol.
I tested 3 months ago with normal cholesterol following a low saturated fat diet also eating complex carbos, (no refined carbo)fruits and lots of veggies.
After reading a book suggesting to eat basically a diet low in complex carbohydrates and no refined carbos. adding lots of fruits and veggies and an egg every morning, very lean turkey, turkey sausages (no nitrates). This was suppose to help my Diabetes. My cholesterol shot up to almost 300!! within a three month period.
Just wanted to let your readers know what happened to me. -
I am 45 years old. I, too, am a type 2 diabetic (have been for over 10 years) and I HAD a cholesterol level over 300 and HBP before starting the Paleo plan. In a little over 3 months of eating eggs practically every morning, plenty of fresh or steamed veggies, meat, nuts, a little dairy, a bit of fresh fruit, and NO grains of any form, along with some form of exercise 5 – 6 days a week (fast-walking 2 miles, working with weights, stretches, sprints, anything to work my muscles and/or heart), my cholesterol dropped to 187 with normal levels of LDL and HDL without any help from statins, and my BP is back to normal with no help from drugs. I'm sure that diet alone was not responsible, though.
I'd encourage you to keep trying the Paleo plan and add a daily 15 to 30 minutes of exercise that makes your heart and body work. Good luck! -
Was sceptical at first, but literally just cooked this and am eating and it is delish! Thanks!

When Jahvid Best went down with yet another concussion, I'm sure Detroit Lions back up running back Jerome Harrison felt ready to seize the opportunity of getting on the field and contributing, as all competitors do. Surely, Harrison's spirits took a nose dive when shortly after, he found out he was being traded to the struggling Philadelphia Eagles (where he spent part of last season after being traded from the Browns) for Ronnie Brown. Little did Harrison know this unwelcome move by the Lions would be a blessing in disguise.
While we don't know the details yet, a brain tumor is a brain tumor… you don't want one, no matter what kind it is, and that, unfortunately, is what 28-year-old Harrison, in his sixth NFL season has. Eagles team doctors found the tumor while giving their new running back a physical exam which nullified the trade. Now Brown will stay put in Philly and Harrison is having the tumor treated. Hopefully we will get more information about his exact medical condition soon.
ESPN's Adam Schefter writes, "The trade might have actually saved Harrison's life, the sources said. Without the deal being made, Harrison would not have undergone a physical."
If you have read my previous blog post about head injuries, concussions, depression and player suicide, you can guess where I'm headed here.
For many years, I've believed every player on a professional team should undergo three physical (including blood work, body scans) and psychological exams per season. Once before the season starts, again at mid-season and a third time at the end of the work year.
While I know my ideal is just that, an ideal (for many reasons such as cost, and teams surviving on "what we don't know can't hurt us" in regards to their players), imagine the impact such care could have in terms of both physical and mental health.
Hank Gathers. After collapsing during a game in December, 1989, the Loyola Marymount University basketball star was checked out and diagnosed with an exercise-induced abnormal heartbeat and prescribed medication. Gathers was fortunate to survive that first episode, but we all know how this story ends. Gathers had reportedly reduced his dosage of medication or perhaps stopped taking it all together because he felt it adversely affected his play on the court. Just a few months later, he collapsed at a West Coast Conference Tournament game and died shortly after.
Michigan high school basketball player Wes Leonard wasn't as lucky as Gathers, never getting that initial second chance at life. The first collapse, which came after Leonard and his teammates celebrated his game-winning shot, would be his last. Shortly after his death in March of this year, the medical examiner said the 16-year-old died of cardiac arrest brought on by a condition called dilated cardiomyopathy. According to an LA Times article by Eryn Brown, "people with dilated cardiomyopathy have enlarged and weakened hearts that cannot pump blood through the body efficiently. The American Heart Association has advised that children with dilated cardiomyopathy should not play competitive sports 'because of the possibility of a sudden collapse or increased heart failure.'"
The last sentence suggests that such ailments, like Gathers' condition, can be diagnosed by a doctor, certainly, before death.
Unfortunately, the idea of such screenings is a bit of a mixed bag. Famed Chicago Bears running back Brian Piccolo passed a full physical, including a chest x-ray in July heading into the 1969 football season. Four months later, the 26-year-old was diagnosed with cancer after a grapefruit-sized tumor was discovered in his chest cavity. Piccolo died less than a year later.
David Epstein provides more details on the pros and cons of screening athletes in his Sports Illustrated column:
"A study published last year by doctors at Massachusetts General Hospital reported on a program that screened 510 Harvard University athletes. That study identified 11 athletes with heart abnormalities that had not been previously identified, and three of those athletes ultimately had to be restricted from sports…At the same time, about one in every six athletes was given a false positive result that required follow-up, begging the question of whether a mandatory nationwide screening program would be effective from a financial and emotional standpoint, given current diagnostic tools."
Clearly this discussion opens up a massive can of worms and perhaps there is no easy or obvious solution to the problems faced by athletes, athletic institutions and medical providers. But it's still a discussion worth having. Just ask Jerome Harrison.

In a city filled with them, many call The World War Two Memorial in Washington D.C. the best of them all.
And now 103 North Central Wisconsin veterans have seen it, thanks to the Never Forgotten Honor Flight.
It sends vets to the nation's capital, free of charge to see the memorials dedicated to them.
They may be the people who protected the world against tyranny, but World War Two veterans have to check in and go through security at the airport just like everyone else.
Before the plane is even off the ground, the Honor Flight is bringing back memories for Merwin Bunker.
He says, "It was hot and boring because I was on a Navy ship in the boiler room."
And at this point they're not quite sure what the day ahead will bring.
"I've been to the Vietnam Memorial before, I haven't been to the World War Two Memorial, but I'm looking forward to it," says Dick Bruno.
Once on the runway, the vets get a tribute normally reserved for retiring pilots - fire trucks spraying water over the departing plane.
The veterans do what everyone else does on flights- they sleep, look out the window, talk, sit alone with their thoughts, and do a little flirting with the flight attendants.
One of the guardians, the people along to take care of the vets, reminisces over a picture of his parents, and dog tags from his father, a World War Two vet.
At the airport in D.C., wheelchairs and workers to push them, line the jet way for the vets who need a little help getting around.
After a smooth flight filled with anticipation, the veterans are given a greeting with open arms, one to bring back memories of the first time they came home from the war.
Some of the people saying welcome and thanks to these heroes are volunteers.
Other, current members of the military say they also join in, because they say life was more difficult for their predecessors in uniform.
"Even though we've all been to combat, there's was tougher, we have technology they didn't. We can't compare to the things they went
through and the sacrifices they made," says TSGT Chris Johnson with the Air Force.
But no matter who's doing the cheering, the gratitude from the current generation is not lost on the members of the greatest generation.

Summary: These Cyclone and Dust Collection Research web pages share more than you probably ever wanted to know about the hazards of fine invisible airborne dust, how to protect yourself from fine dust and how to get good fine dust collection. These pages share how to choose, upgrade and set up your dust collectors, cyclones, ducting, shop vacuums, air cleaners, tools and downdraft tables for better fine dust collection. They share how to inexpensively test your air quality, airflow, and filtering. These pages share plans to build my dust collection solutions that protect my family and me. You can use the included free plans to build a cyclone of my design for your personal use or purchase my cyclone design from Clear Vue Cyclones. These easy solutions let you get good fine dust protection and collection without having to master the complex air engineering science that air engineering firms who guarantee customer air quality use to provide good fine dust collection.
Applicability: Although woodworking dust inspired this site creation, most fine dust particles have so many sharp edges and points that do so much damage to our respiratory tissues that the peer reviewed medical research clearly shows every exposure to fine dust of every type causes a measurable loss of respiratory function, some of this loss becomes permanent, and the greater and longer the exposure the higher the damage. Fine invisible dust causes so many health problems that the EPA sets indoor air quality standards that will fail a typical small shop when less than two tiny thimblefuls of any type of fine dust gets launched airborne. Many respiratory doctors now recommend small shop owners and their family members, fiberglass workers, coffee roasters, granary storage workers, and others with fine dust exposure read and follow the recommendations shared on these pages. Woodworkers should pay particular attention because working wood creates huge numbers of particles with razor sharp edges and point, plus different woods contain and carry many toxic chemicals that are poisonous, strong irritants, sensitizers meaning they cause us to build ever stronger allergic reactions, and can increase our risk of cancer.
Bottom Line: I strongly recommend good fine dust collection and these pages share how you can get good fine dust collection, but please do not get overwhelmed and forget your goal is to protect yourself and those close to you from fine dust. All need and can easily and inexpensively get good fine dust protection. Good fine dust protection requires us to address the dust we are making and the previously made fugitive dust that keeps escaping collection. Fine dust consists of particles that are invisible without magnification and so fine and light it gets launched and kept airborne by the lightest air currents. Fine dust does not settle in normal room air currents, so it rapidly spreads like an odor to rapidly contaminate all shared air. Most fine dust lasts until it gets wet. The unhealthiest finest dust particles go right through the even fine filters used on almost all shop vacuums, dust collectors, cyclones, air cleaners, and heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) systems. Most health damage comes from this finest fugitive dust that keeps escaping collection and going right through our filters. The health damage is so high that just a couple of tiny thimblefuls of fine dust will cause a typical two-car garage sized shop to fail an EPA air quality test. With every twenty pounds of sawdust we also make enough fine dust to cause over 15,100 typical two-car garage sized shops to fail an EPA air quality test. Those who vent their dust collection systems inside invariably build up so much fine dust that just walking around without doing any woodworking stirs enough airborne to fail an EPA air quality test. If our homes share air with our shops, they also get badly contaminated. So good fine dust protection requires us to make sure we don't build up the fine dust and to wear a good dual cartridge properly fit NIOSH certified respirator mask. Our particle counters show it is easy to prevent the fine dust build up. Before we start making fine dust we also need to turn on a good strong commercial fan blowing out a back door or window with the main shop door cracked a little. Our particle counters show we need to leave the mask and fan on with good airflow through our shops for about a half hour after we stop making dust to minimize fine dust build up. So protection is easy, just wear a good respirator mask and use a strong fan to limit dust build up.

Comments On Jun 05, 2013:I needed new boots after my 8 year old AXO RC5 were pretty well shot. Tried on a few different brands including SIDI and Alpinestars and these were by far the most comfortable. Decided to buy since the price was good as well. I have about 8 hours of ride time on these now and the stitching is starting to come undone on the upper front flap of the right boot. The buckle system isn't real positive in its lock and I have had the lower buckles come unlatched on several occasions. As other reviewers have mentioned it is also hard to get the buckles tight enough. The soft construction on the outside front of the boot makes it tough to get the buckle at the ankle latched unless it is so loose that it doesn't do much good to help support the boot. The sole is also glued on, not stitched, so I'm not sure it can be replaced when it wears out. I'll be surprised if these boots are still usable after this season and I won't be buying them again.

Like everyone else, yesterday's excitement got to me. The case was monumental—one of those things that happens once in a lifetime. Not only was I personally genuinely interested, I got to help tell the story.
I must also admit that CNN's screaming "Mandate dead" announcement—while others were reporting different outcomes—gave me an extra adrenaline rush (or at least scared me as we were reporting the opposite).
But today my excitement has slowed down. After a long work day that entailed writing a handful of stories, editing others and monitoring a constant roster of interviews and responses, I have to admit the big decision has made me a little tired. And that's partly because though I expected the decision to give us an ending, I'm beginning to realize that's not the case.
I expected the Supreme Court to rule the way it did—so much so that the story I wrote about the court upholding the law was penned the night before. I was ready to hear it, accept it and move on as both a health care reporter and as a consumer.
But much like Al Gore (or maybe someone who earns a living asking a lot of questions), I couldn't accept it.
Immediately, there were questions:
Why did Chief Justice John Roberts change his usual conservative tune? Why the heck would Obama say the mandate wasn't a tax shortly after that was the reason the Court gave for upholding it (these will be great soundbites for the Romney camp later on)? Sure, the law provides more access, but how are we going to pay for all this? Will there be enough doctors for the growing number of insured Americans? Will states and employers be able to implement all these changes in time? Will this help Obama win reelection, or give more ammo to Romney to win the presidency?
Sure, I can try to give answers to all these questions, but I'll save myself the time and the backlash by giving a collective one: Health reform isn't settled. As the Carpenters would say, we've only just begun.
The Supreme Court ruled the law constitutional, but it didn't say whether it was a good idea. In fact, some said it was an entirely bad idea. That debate is not going to go away any time soon.
And more than that, the waiting game isn't over. Regardless of the fact that the Court did, in fact, uphold the law, employers and states are still going to drag their feet on implementing changes.
First they said they were going to wait until the Court decision, and now it's going to be about something else. They'll wait for a repeal vote. They'll wait for the November elections. Heck, maybe they'll wait until 2014, when someone finally makes the changes for them.
Republicans will use repeal and replace as a rallying cry. And they have a good chance of making some noise: There are reports about employers not hiring due to PPACA; insurers are talking about the law increasing costs; and doctors are discussing the backlash it could create. (And that's a short list.)
Doctors have a good point (and shouldn't they be the ones who know?). Our health care system is absolutely flawed, but the law will have little impact on patients' access to medical care. And it will do nothing to help high costs, except if you count causing them.
Health insurance doesn't always equate to health care, just as a Supreme Court decision doesn't always equate to an ending or to an answer.
