Victoria Abril Movies
One of Europe's most popular and respected actresses, Victoria Abril has made her mark in more than 60 films produced in France, Italy, and her native Spain. First introduced to American audiences through the work of Spanish director Pedro Almodóvar, who directed her in the controversial Atame! (Tie Me Up! Tie Me Down!, 1990), the sensual, brown-eyed actress has gained a Stateside cult following, but remains thoroughly European in her choice of films and the roles she plays.
Abril first earned wide recognition in Spain as a 14-year-old model on the popular television shows Uno, dos, tres, responda otra vez and 625 lineas. Born Victoria Merida Rojas in Malaga on July 4, 1959, she began studying as a ballet dancer at the age of seven, but following her celebrated turn on TV, segued into acting in the mid-'70s. Abril made her major screen debut in Vincente Aranda's Cambio de Sexo, a 1976 drama that cast her as an effeminate young man who undergoes a sex change. That same year, the actress made her first English-language film, Robin and Marian, in which she played the relatively minor role of a Spanish queen. She went on to do prolific work for the rest of the 1970s and throughout the 1980s, and in 1990 had her first collaboration with Almodóvar, for whom she starred as a drug-addicted porn actress taken hostage by an obsessive fan (Antonio Banderas) in Atame!. The film was a success in Spain -- where Abril earned a Goya Best Actress nomination for her performance -- and proved to be a controversial sensation in the States, where its plot outraged certain feminist groups. Abril collaborated with Almodóvar on two more films, Tacones Lejanos (1991) -- in which she played the estranged daughter of an actress (Marisa Paredes), and Kika (1993) -- in which she had a supporting role as an over-the-top tabloid TV program hostess.
Abril scored particular critical acclaim as a darkly amorous landlady in Vincente Aranda's Amantes (1991), winning a Best Actress Prize at the Berlin International Film Festival for her performance. Further acclaim came her way with Nadie Hablara de Nosotras Cuando Hayamos Muerto (1995), for which her portrayal of an alcoholic prostitute earned her a Goya and a Best Actress award at the San Sebastian Film Festival. A starring role in the French romantic comedy Gazon Maudit (1995), which cast her as a housewife torn between her unfaithful husband and a butch female truck driver, further increased Abril's popularity. She continued to star in films that emphasized her playful, flamboyant sexuality, maintaining her reputation as one of Europe's most colorful and vibrant performers. ~ Rebecca Flint Marx, Rovi

In this French comedy, a man discovers that he has something unexpected in common with his wife -- they're both involved with another woman. Loli (Victoria Abril) is a woman of Spanish blood married to a French businessman, Laurent (Alain Chabat). Loli is not especially happy as a housewife, though she'd likely be even less happy if she knew that her husband is chronically unfaithful and has had a string of mistresses. Laurent, on the other hand, is convinced that his wife isn't the type who would never have an affair, and what she doesn't know won't hurt her. One day, a truck breaks down in front of Loli's home, and Marijo (Josiane Balasko) asks to use their phone. Marijo is a gruff-looking lesbian who works as a plumber; as it happens, Loli has a stopped-up sink, so in exchange for using the phone, Marijo gets Loli's drain back in working order. Soon Loli and Marijo are getting to know each other a bit better, and Loli discovers that she's powerfully attracted to her new visitor. Marijo becomes Loli's bedmate and a permanent guest at the house, which is more than a bit perplexing to Laurent, but after he accidentally reveals his infidelities to Loli, he's not in much of a position to pass judgement. Josiane Balasko, who plays Marijo, is also the film's director and co-screenwriter. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

Casque Bleu
More than a dozen years ago, Patrick (Gerard Jugnot) and Alicia (Victoria Abril) began their relationship by chance at the Peace Inn Hotel on a Mediterranean island. However, despite the fact that they have returned to the place where they first fell in love, it will take more than that for their relationship to survive. For one thing, Alicia is not about to forgive him for the one episode of his infidelity that she knows about. For another, they are no longer wide-eyed young people. Others at the hotel have their own romantic preoccupations, such as the hotel's charming gay male owner, who is being beseiged by a clueless young woman who has developed a crush on him. Surely the people at the hotel long for this vacation to end, along most of the problems that have come with it, but they are taken hostage in a local civil war and have even more difficulties. ~ Clarke Fountain, Rovi

High Heels
Written and directed by Spanish filmmaker Pedro Almódovar, Tacones Lejanos is a murder mystery centering on flamboyant actress Becky del Paramo (Marisa Paredes) and her daughter Rebecca (Victoria Abril), a television anchorwoman. After being estranged for 15 years, Becky re-enters Rebecca's life when she comes to perform a concert. Rebecca, she finds, is now married to one of Becky's ex-lovers, Manuel (Feodor Atkine). As the mother and daughter begin making up for lost time, Manuel is suddenly murdered at his home. Unfortunately, which of the ladies is responsible for the homicide remains unclear, even after one of them confesses. Released in the U.S. under the title High Heels, Tacones Lejanos was nominated for several Goya Awards as well as the Best Foreign Language Film at the 1992 Golden Globes. ~ Matthew Tobey, Rovi

Vicente Aranda's Lovers is set in Spain, mostly in Madrid, during the 1950s. The story line is reminiscent of Theodore Dreiser's classic An American Tragedy (which was filmed as A Place in the Sun), wherein a passive, amoral, and shallow protagonist inadvertently destroys the lives of two women who love him. The handsome Paco (Jorge Sanz, who also starred in Belle Epoque and has been called "the Spanish Tom Cruise") is a young soldier involved with a virginal maid, Trini (Maribel Verdu of Y Tu Mama Tambien). Trini is saving her money and planning for their wedding, but Paco tells her not to worry, that he will find a job and save money for them. Paco leaves the army, but has trouble finding and keeping a steady job. He ends up renting a cheap room from Luisa (Spanish superstar Victoria Abril, best known for her work in Pedro Almodovar's films), a beautiful and mysterious widow. Before long, Luisa has seduced the sexually frustrated Paco, and involved him in her moneymaking scams. Trini quickly figures out what is going on, and makes a desperate effort to win back Paco's affection. Paco is obsessed with the sexually experienced and voracious older woman, but is unable to break off his long-term relationship with Trini. He attempts to string them both along, with disastrous results. The film was the first of veteran filmmaker Aranda to get a theatrical release in the United States, thanks largely to Abril's star power, and caused a minor sensation with its sexual explicitness, in particular the infamous "handkerchief scene." ~ Josh Ralske, Rovi

Fabled Japanese filmmaker Nagisa Oshima was the guiding hand behind the fast-paced French comedy Max, Mon Amour. The "Max" with whom the elegant Charlotte Rampling falls in love is a circus chimpanzee (played by a short-statured man in a monkey suit). Charlotte's British-ambassador husband Anthony Higgins has long suspected that his wife was cheating on him, but he certainly isn't prepared for her simian paramour. Amazingly, the film never descends into goofiness: Oshima uses his unorthodox plotline to poke holes in the self-protective pretensions of the Bourgeoisie. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

Essentially a tale of romance mixed in with a dash of politics, this engrossing story involves Engracia (Victoria Abril), a young Mexican prostitute working just south of the border with the U.S., and two American border guards who are among her clients: Mitch (Scott Wilson), a tough, go-by-the-book Anglo who has no deep affection for Mexicans, and Chuck (Jeff Delgar), an idealistic new border guard who has yet to learn the ropes. In a few instances, the film exposes the prejudice against Mexicans, but otherwise, politics is secondary to what happens next. Chuck falls in love with Engracia, and the two get married in Mexico -- and then he smuggles her across the border that he himself has been hired to guard. Sure enough, the vile Mitch gets into the act and quite clearly, both Chuck and Engracia are heading for trouble. ~ Eleanor Mannikka, Rovi

This technically impressive throwback to the early days of film noir stars Richard Berry as Bruno, a young actor who seems to get blamed for everything. Spotting a gorgeous female shoplifter (Victoria Abril) in trouble, Bruno decides to help her and gets arrested in her place. While lamenting his fate in prison, he is blamed for an escape attempt in which a psychotic guard (Richard Bohringer) is shot. When Bruno's sentence is lengthened, the guard makes his life a nightmare until the terrorized prisoner must lash out in the ultimate rebellion against (and surrender to) his inescapable fate. Director Denis Amar's moody film is strong on atmosphere but weak in characterization, despite an impressively sadistic turn by Bohringer, and the movie leaves the viewer flat rather than moved. ~ Robert Firsching, Rovi

Cambio de Sexo
Themes long forbidden in Spain under the Franco dictatorship began to be explored in the years just following his demise. In this 1976 film, an unhappy and very effeminate man (played by a woman, Victoria Abril), experiences one difficulty after another. As a boy in Cataluña, his father attempts to teach him to "be a man." These lessons include taking him to a big-city whorehouse to have sex. At the bordello, he successfully avoids having sex with a woman, but when he sees a transvestite revue which culminates in the actors revealing their actual genitalia, he is fascinated. He runs away from home, learns to be a hairdresser, and develops a transvestite act of his own. After numerous love affairs with men, he eventually realizes his transsexual nature and goes to another country to have a sex-change operation. ~ Clarke Fountain, Rovi

Though the story told in Robin and Marian is unfamiliar to most audiences, it is actually quite faithful to several of the ancient Robin Hood legends. During the Crusades, Robin (Sean Connery) is still loyal to King Richard the Lionheart (Richard Harris), but even he has trouble adjusting to the monarch's ever-increasing paranoia and lunacy. After Richard's death, Robin returns to England, his first visit to his home turf in 20 years. He looks up his beloved Maid Marian (Audrey Hepburn, last seen in 1967's Wait Until Dark), who is now a middle-aged nun. No sooner do Robin and Marian renew their relationship than the aging Merry Men demand Robin's services in thwarting their old foe, the Sheriff of Nottingham (Robert Shaw). Marian is aghast that the long-standing feud between Robin and the sheriff threatens to expand into wholesale bloodshed. The two venerable enemies agree to one last
mano a mano
battle -- only to watch helplessly as the all-out war they'd tried to avoid commences anyway. Both the tragic climax and Robin's last, defiant arrow shot are drawn directly from authentic Robin Hood ballads of the 14th and 15th centuries. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

My Father, My Mother, My Brothers and My Sisters
In this sly comedy of manners, Anne (Victoria Abril) is a free-spirited single mother whose three children were all fathered by different men, none of whom are currently in contact with Anne and none of whom know that Anne bore their offspring. Anne's son Victor (Pierre-Jean Cherit) has started asking his mother questions about who his father is and where he's gone; Anne, however, isn't sure just what to tell him, or any of his siblings, about their Dads without things becoming embarrassing. However, when Anne takes the kids on a vacation to Mexico, she realizes she'd better come up with an explanation and quick, since all three of her former beaux happen to be staying at the same resort where Anne and her brood are registered. Mon père, ma mère, mes frères et mes soeurs was the first directorial credit for actress Charlotte de Turckheim, who also appears in the film as Jeanne. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

Tie Me Up! Tie Me Down!
"I'll never love you . . . ever!" the sexy and attractive Marina (Victoria Abril) states emphatically to the love-struck Ricky (Antonio Banderas). You know she means what she says because when she makes this statement she is handcuffed and lashed to a bed, not exactly the proper way to warm anyone up for romance. Yet in Pedro Almodovar's Tie Me Up! Tie Me Down! the way to a woman's heart is depicted as being held in captivity until the Stockholm Syndrome kicks in. The film concerns the plight of Marina, a "B"-movie diva trying to adjust to her recent success after years of porno films and drug addiction. But then into her life comes Ricky, a part-time handyman and full-time mental patient, who, during one of his past escapes from the mental ward, had spent the night with Marina -- who gave in to him during one of her less-discerning moments. Since then, Ricky has been thinking of her constantly. Determined to win her affections, he kidnaps Marina, holding her captive in her own apartment and trying everything to convince her to love him -- then they could marry and have a big family. All Ricky's attempts to woo Marina fail. Finally, after taking a severe beating from some street thugs, he strikes a chord in Marina's nurturing heart so that when her sister Lola (Loles Leon) finally discovers her plight, Marina no longer wants to be rescued. ~ Paul Brenner, Rovi

Microsoft slammed as partner event kicks off
DENVER--The temperature may have topped 90 degrees yesterday, but Microsoft got a chilly welcome as it got set to kick off its Worldwide Partner Conference on Tuesday.
Under the headline "Di-worse-ifying," the Denver Post took the software giant to task for losing its focus on its traditional business as it works to expand into areas like the Xbox and online advertising.
Well, if the paper doesn't love Microsoft, downtown Denver sure does. The mile-long 16th Street pedestrian mall was filled with banners welcoming the company--and the estimated 13,000 people it is bringing to the city.

Date: December 4, 1995 Code: AD 95-15
To: Vice Presidents for Administration
From: George A. Pardon Accounting Director Business and Finance
Subject: State - 1993/94 Early Retirement Program
Coded Letter AD 95-03 provided instructions for calculating the estimated cost of annuities for participants in the 1993/94 early retirement program. It also provided for the deallocation of a minimum of 25% of each campus' estimate plus any additional amounts the campus wished to identify. The result of the cost estimates and initial deallocations is shown on the attached table.
The attachment also displays the actual annuity cost of the 612 retirements which have been processed by PERS as well as the estimated cost of the 313 retirements still pending. It also identifies amounts deallocated to date and the estimated balance due. The balance due does not include interest or administrative charges since we have not as yet been invoiced by PERS. Both of these items will be addressed in a subsequent memo as the costs become known.
The administrative costs will be prorated on the basis of the number of participants from each campus. The estimated cost is $63,279. Systemwide interest costs are unknown at this time. However, no interest should be accruing since we paid the total amount of the contract as of June 26, 1995. Campuses will only be charged interest through that date. However, those campuses which paid the entire estimated cost of their annuities prior to that date will only be charged interest through date of their last payment.

Sometimes our children may exhibit near perfect behavior, while at other times their actions may be less than ideal. Regardless of their conduct, who they choose as friends, where they spend the majority of their time, or how protective we are as parents, YOUR CHILD WILL FACE OPPOSITION from peers.
1) Talk with your child on the topic BEFORE a "crisis" occurs. Preparation provides your child the opportunity to effectively deal with adversity and quickly move on.
2) While discussing this topic with your child, don't make it dramatic or give extreme examples. Have a calm, matter-of-fact demeanor as you discuss the topic. Show only facial expressions and body language that are positive and reassuring.
3) Assure your child that EVERYONE faces some form of opposition from time to time, including YOU. This knowlege will allow your child to know that they are not alone, which is comforting to them. Sadly, opposition is commonplace in our world and there's little need to try to hide it from your kids. It's better that your child be conscious of this as opposed to believing that it's their own fault(Is something wrong with me?) each time that adversity occurs.
4) Instruct your child to avoid a strong reaction towards those showing oppposition. A strong reaction is often what the "opposing peer" desires. Teach your child assertiveness, not agressive or passive behaviors, and to use as few words as necessary when facing adverse circumstances. Instruct your child to then "leave the scene".
5) Have your child memorize Romans 8:31. It states, "If God is for us, who can be against us?" Helping your child to understand that God is with them at all times(especially during conflict) can give them strength during difficult moments. Have your child occasionally repeat the verse to you over the next few weeks.
Chapter Two in my book, Don't Forget Your Shield, is entitled, "Dealing With Opposition". The chapter provides a short story for kids that focuses on properly handling opposition that is inevitable in everyday life. Chapter Two concludes with instruction and suggestions on improving one's ability to handle opposition. Equip your child today!

Updating real estate industryReal estate is one of the most uncompetitive sectors of the Korean economy. A complex mixture of old-dated business practices and government intervention plagues the industry. The result is high prices for low quality amid a limited number of choices that leaves everybody unhappy. The faults in the real estate industry are particularly glaring as other sectors of the Korean economy have made great progress. A quick comparison of Korean real estate websites with those in other countries reveals the extent of the problem. Real estate sites in Korea list basic information, such as size and price, but not much more. Often a short description is included, but photographs are relatively rare. For buyers of condos, a price range based on recent sales is given as a reference. Major sites in the United States, by contrast, almost always include photographs, often of each room. Information on sales history, price history, and comparable offerings in the area is given. Buyers can easily search recent sales of all forms of residential real estate in the area. To make up for the lack of information on websites, Koreans usually end up visiting real estate agents in person. Like their counterparts elsewhere, most are professional and they arrange showings quickly. Detailed information in writing, particularly on detached houses and other non-condo types of housing is often lacking. Information on price history is difficult to obtain and realtors themselves may not know. One of the most curious practices is for sellers to raise the price after a realtor has shown the house, a practice that is unthinkable in countries where sellers are required to sign a contract with realtors that places limits on behavior such as multiple listings and discrimination against buyers. For renters, the situation is problematic because landlords are free to demand a high security deposit along with a monthly rent. There is no set standard of one or two months' rent as a security deposit. The larger problem, however, is that landlords are free to increase the rent, the security deposit, or both at the end of the two-year contract. This creates a situation in which renters always feel insecure, and thus feel permanently detached from neighbors and the community that they live in. The larger problem for the Korean real estate industry is the continued existence of the "jeonse" system. Jeonse, or ``prepaid rent," is basically a huge security deposit that is returned at the end of the two-year contract. In the days of high interest rates, landlords made money by investing the deposit. Others would use the money to help purchase properties that would go up in price. At first glance, jeonse looks like a great system. Renters do not need to pay a monthly rent, which allows for increased saving. Landlords can obtain a chunk of interest-free leverage. A closer look reveals problems. Interest rates in Korea are no longer high, which means that returns on invested jeonse are not good. Indeed, returns on rental properties in Korea are among the lowest in the developed world. High security deposits and jeonse keep rents low, while purchase prices of properties remain high. The larger problem is that the jeonse system inhibits ownership. Often the amount of the deposit equals half the purchase price, which in the case of Seoul usually amounts to a huge amount of money. The same amount could be used toward the purchase of a house with the remainder coming from a loan. The loan would require interest payments, but the resident would be an owner, not a renter, and would have a greater sense of security. Home ownership is not always the best financial choice, but it creates greater social stability because home owners have a financial and emotional stake in their property. They maintain their property better and created deeper bonds with the community, which creates more stable neighborhoods. This is why ownership is used as a measure of social development around the world. The Korean government, like governments elsewhere, has actively encouraged ownership. This explains the government's active stance in promoting the construction of condos and rental apartments. Government intervention in the real estate industry has focused mainly on building supply and limiting speculation in hot areas such as Gangnam. To date, the government has done little to protect consumers (renters and buyers) or to develop a more advanced real estate sector. To improve the situation, the government must implement stricter regulations regarding transparency while allowing realtors to make a fair profit from their work. Above all, it must take a hard look at the jeonse system. The writer is a professor at the Department of Korean Language Education at Seoul National University. Email him at email@example.com. |

Samples had contacted department heads about participating in such a survey at the request of the Bradley County Compensation Committee.
During Monday's meeting, Samples told the committee Gayla Miller's department (Circuit Court) did not want to participate, and none of the fee-based departments responded to inquiries.
Fee-based offices are paid from the fees collected, not the county general fund.
Compensation committee chairman Terry Caywood expressed concern that the departments could say they wanted to participate, but then change their minds later.
Since many departments are run by elected officials, these departments have the choice to participate in such a study or not. These offices would also have the option to participate in a countywide compensation plan.
At a previous meeting, the committee had discussed moving forward with a compensation study as the first step to researching the plausibility of a countywide merit-pay plan.
"We're not looking to try to give a bunch of pay raises because we don't have the money at this point to do that," Caywood said. "We're looking at an equitable way of dividing what we have."
Commissioner Brian Smith said developing a pay plan now would be good for the future when the economy improves. He said a plan would give an idea of where the county is headed.
Gary Hayes of County Technical Assistance Service was present to answer questions.
He said surrounding counties have different factors and needs that may affect compensation plans.
Hayes said finding which departments have the most disparity and working at better balancing them is the goal. Hayes stressed that departments within the county should be compared to find any disparity.
Although some commissioners have favored a countywide compensation plan when funding allows, Hayes said it is possible to have different plans for different departments.
"I've seen some counties where they say, 'Here is what we've got. We're going to do this over a three-year period. We are going to do the best we can. You are not going to get it all at once," Hayes said. "(There are) different ways and different approaches based on the economic funding."
He said the majority of departments' budgets are comprised of salary and benefits.
Elected officials also are empowered to file a lawsuit if they feel the funding is insufficient.
"You have to find ... where are your problem areas?" Hayes said.
Hayes said a plan would not have to include fee-based offices because they are under a separate budget.
No motions for moving forward were made during the meeting.

By syed from USA on 2013-10-30 21:36:46 Things I liked:love the new changes such as spin loc tank and sound loc.this gun is super accurate.i am already shooting 1/2 inch groups@90 yards with exact kings,and its not even broke in yet. its also super powerful,scope set @ 50 yards only drops 1 mil dot @ 90 yards. this .25 cal. condor ss is awesome. all you hear is the hammer slap.its short ,light weight, dynamite in a small packageThings I would have changed:nothing at all, airforce got right with this condor ss What others should know:this .25 cal. condor ss is amazing.it boast lots of power and superior accuracy. I have had several other high end air rifles,this condor ss beats them all. airforce is a great American company and pyramyd air is a awesome distributor that stands behind their products. would highly recommend this gun to any serious airgunner. |

By Becky from USA on 2013-11-27 21:57:41 Things I liked:The sound lock air suppression. Comparable in loudness to my .25 cal mrod! I also really like the ability to fill the gun w/o removing the tank. The top hat is very vulnerable to damage (bending) with having to remove the tank each time to fill. Also, I like having the pressure gauge and the spin lock system. Spin lock system keeps the tank from unscrewing inadvertently and maintains the orientation of the valve in relation to the hammer. The gun does not seem to have the POI shifting that my old full sized condor used to have from shooting session to session. I really think the condor is really too powerful for any other platform than .25 cal. I like the simplicity and modular design of the gun. Also, the light weight and the ability to separate the gun to fit in a small carrying case for ease of transport.Things I would have changed:I don't like how the gun cannot be decocked!! I think that is a dangerous feature. However you can hold the delrin breech before you pull the trigger, so that you keep the hammer from hitting the valve but this is not ideal. My gun was shooting faster at the lowest power wheel setting compared to the highest. It was probably due to the tophat setting being too far out and bounding off of the valve at the higher settings. I would add an additional collar near the end of the barrel for an additional anchor point. What others should know:This is not the gun you want to fill with a hand pump. I recommend already having a scba tank to fill with. This gun takes technique to shoot similar to a spring piston gun. Be advised about the learning curve. If you are expecting the ease of shooting and consistency like other pcp's you are choosing the wrong gun. If you want power, the ability to change calibers and relatively quiet operation this is a good choice. I would consider this gun to be back yard friendly especially if you keep the power wheel on the lowest setting. Consider turning in the top hat to .85" from the factory setting of 0.1" or place a small oring behind the top hat to flatten out your power curve. |

(HUTCHINSON, Kan.)—
Jerry Stokely takes a break from the production line at siemens manufacturing plant to break down his new job."it's very impressive is exactly what visitors call Siemen's new $50 million plant in Hutchinson," says Jerry Stokely.
Friday, the plant celebrated the completion its first 90-ton nacelle.
The plant will produce "nacelles" for wind turbines, its the center part of a turbine that converts wind to electricity.
A piece of equipment siemens has been shipping in from Denmark until now.
Thisis the first nacelle assembly facility in the US.
Last month nearly 150 new employees started training on equipment.
"Its a much needed boost to our economy," says Stokely.
"Its almost opposite for what most of us have been used to where we work with the economy and struggle through," says Silver.
Jim Silver, siemens business manager, says Hutchinson is already feeling the economic impact.
An international training team was brought in to teach staff and has stayed in Hutch for weeks.
"I think the city is really pumped about having this kind of business and this boost," says Silver.
And with the anticipation of a few hundred more new hires, things promise to continue to improve.

SAN FRANCISCO – When Dr. Darragh Flynn sits down with her pregnant patients, she preaches healthy habits: Don't smoke or drink, eat nutritious foods and take vitamins.
She also advises them to avoid gasoline fumes, pesticides, certain types of fish and some household cleaners and cosmetics.
"It's only for nine months," she tells them. "Let someone else put gas in the car."
But Flynn is in the minority. A new nationwide survey of 2,600 obstetricians and gynecologists found that most do not warn their pregnant patients about chemicals in food, consumer products or the environment that could endanger their fetuses. More than half said they don't warn about mercury, and hardly any of them give advice about lead, pesticides, air pollution or chemicals in plastics or cosmetics.
Many doctors say their priority is to protect pregnant women from more immediate dangers, and that warning them about environmental risks may create undue anxiety. Some say they don't feel confident in their ability to discuss the topics.
"We're worrying about pre-term labor, obesity and hypertension," said Dr. Jeanne A. Conry, an ob/gyn at Kaiser Permanente in Roseville, Calif., and incoming president of a national medical society. "Obesity trumps almost everything. We put our time and energy there, and don't dwell on some of the other things we should be aware of."
More than 100 chemicals
Virtually all pregnant women have chemicals in their bodies that might harm fetal development.
Monitoring of pregnant women found about 100 different chemicals, with 43 of them in all women tested. Lead, mercury, toluene, perchlorate, bisphenol A, flame retardants, perfluorinated compounds, organochlorine pesticides and phthalates are among the chemicals, according to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's nationwide testing program.
Studies suggest that for many these compounds, low-level exposures in the womb seem to disrupt development of the brain or reproductive systems. Others may raise the risk of birth defects, or lead to cancer, immune problems, asthma, fertility problems or other disorders later in life.
Yet that information is not reaching most women who are pregnant or may become pregnant.
Almost all of the doctors in the new, nationwide survey, conducted by University of California, San Francisco researchers, said they routinely discussed smoking, alcohol, diet and weight gain. Eighty-six percent also said they discuss workplace hazards, and 68 percent warn about second-hand smoke.
But only 19 percent said they talk to their pregnant patients about pesticides and only 12 percent discuss air pollution. Forty-four percent said they routinely discussed mercury with pregnant women. Eleven percent said they mention volatile organic compounds, which are fumes emitted by gasoline, paints and solvents.
Even fewer physicians warned their patients about two chemicals in consumer products that are often in the news: bisphenol A (BPA) at 8 percent and phthalates at 5 percent. Nine percent of the doctors told their patients about polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), industrial compounds often found in fish.
The results show a disconnect between environmental health research and what the physicians do – and do not – tell their patients, said Patrice Sutton, a research scientist at University of California, San Francisco's Program on Reproductive Health and the Environment who helped design the survey. The goal of the study, which was discussed at a recent conference but is not yet published, was to try to break down obstacles that keep health messages from pregnant women.

SYRACUSE -- The Level 3 sex offender accused of loitering near a school was sentenced Monday for kicking a police officer during his arrest.
55-year-old Terry Jandrew, of Syracuse, will spend one year in the Onondaga County Jail for assault.
Investigators say Jandrew was spotted near the East Syracuse Minoa School District offices and Woodland Elementary School several times in September. Because of his sex offender status, he is not allowed to be near school property.
Level 3 sex offenders are deemed most likely to re-offend.
Jandrew is scheduled to appear in Manlius Town Court on the loitering charge later this month.

California Republican Congressman Duncan Hunter told C-SPAN's Washington Journal that a military conflict with Iran regarding their nuclear program may be inevitable and that the U.S. should hit them with tactical nuclear weapons.
"I think people like to toss around the fact that we have to stop them in some way from giving them this nuclear capability. I think it's inevitable. If you hit Iran, you do it with tactical nuclear devices and set them back a decade or two or three. That is what you do with a massive aerial bombardment campaign," Hunter said.

Construction helps build UAE's GDP
The construction sector's contribution to the UAE's GDP is expected to reach 11.1 per cent by 2015 driven by a growing expatriate population, according to a study by the Dubai Chamber of Commerce and Industry.
A projected increase in population is expected to drive demand for residential and commercial property in the next three years, the study said.
The UAE population is expected to reach six million by 2015, according to the International Monetary Fund (IMF). Real GDP growth is projected to reach 4.4 per cent in 2015, signifying a revival in the overall economy that will boost the construction industry, the study said.
"In the short term, the UAE construction residential industry may be affected due to the prevalent oversupply of residential units in the market but, in the long term, it will gain momentum based on the optimism of a rising population and a more stable economic growth path," the study stated. It indicated that rent revenues in the short term will continue to be under pressure due to declining rentals and high vacancy rates.
In 2013, favourable government policies are expected to attract more overseas companies to the UAE's construction sector as a series of new construction projects further boost the industry, the study concluded.

Otley artist Shane Green commemorates the Diamond Jubilee
8:20am Saturday 30th June 2012 in News
He has just completed a major new sculpture to commemorate the Queen's Diamond Jubilee.
And Otley artist Shane Green is justifiably proud of the large stone work, showing the Wharfedale Press printing machine and the 'three Rs' of education, which was unveiled in Wharfemeadows Park on Monday.
But his toughest challenge of 2012 is still to come – in the form of carving 18 tree trunk sculptures, using a chainsaw, in three weeks during the London 2012 Olympics.
Shane, who is head of art at Prince Henry's Grammar School, will base each work on an Olympic event that's happening on the day, working in ten different parks around the city.
The end result will be an Olympic sculpture trail similar to the ones he has already installed on Otley Chevin, albeit on a far grander scale.
He has been preparing for the epic challenge by creating a massive 35ft high work – The Calverley Angel – in the grounds of St Wilfrid's Church, Calverley. That has required three floors of scaffolding to let Shane carve a 200-year-old, storm-damaged beech tree.
And he thinks the experience should make his London task less daunting.
Writing on his olympicsculpture blog, he said: "I have been focussed on sculptures since the beginning of 2012 as a way of preparing for my Olympic chainsaw sculpture trail down in London.
"Those six feet-high sculptures are going to seem like small-scale models after this monumental one I am doing up here in Yorkshire."
His preparations for what he describes as a "labour of love" – he is not being paid for the Olympic sculptures – have also included drawing sketches and building detailed models for the trail, as well as trying out some full-scale prototypes.
He hopes the project, which will see him travelling to the capital a few days before the Olympics start to ready the tree trunks for carving, will go down well with the crowds.
He said: "Hopefully, people will be interested and see what I am going to do next.
"I've got my little marquee with me so I will be able to continue my work whatever the weather.
"I'll be carving with the torch relay coming past me twice before the official opening, which should fire me up. Then, on the night of the opening, I'll be carving the discus event at Alexandra Palace."

Persistent fetal circulation An obstetrician who has subspecialized in the care of pregnant women and unborn babies. If you have a complicated pregnancy or one at high risk of having complications, you may be referred to one of these physicians. They are often the specialists who perform the level 2 or detailed ultrasound examination.
Persistent fetal circulationThe circulation of blood in the fetus is somewhat different from that of the baby after birth. This transition from fetal to neonatal circulation is one of the major physiologic changes after delivery. Before birth, the lungs are collapsed and the blood pressure in the lungs is quite high. This results in a very low blood flow through the lungs. After delivery, the lungs expand the and the blood pressure in the lungs decreases.
In some babies, although the lungs expand the blood vessels in the lungs remain constricted resulting in persistently high blood pressure in the lungs. This reduces the amount of blood that the infant can pump through the lungs. This decreased blood flow through the lungs after birth is called persistent fetal circulation because it is a persistence of the pattern of blood flow normally seen prior to birth during the fetal period.
Infections, malformations of the lung or diaphragm, and lung immaturity can all cause persistent fetal circulation. This is a very serious, although infrequent, newborn problem. Several new treatments for persistent fetal circulation have been developed in the past few years and have increased survival of infants with this problem.

India: Killing of human rights defender Mr K Rajmohan Chandra
On 2 July 2012, human rights defender Mr K Rajmohan Chandra was attacked and killed by a gang armed with sharp objects.
K Rajmohan Chandra was a social activist who used the Right to Information to uncover alleged cases of corruption involving judges, police officials, politicians and businessmen. He had received frequent death threats in connection with public interest lawsuits and petitions he had filed in the past.
On 2 July 2012, at approximately 6:00pm, K Rajmohan Chandra was cycling to his home in Rajiv Gandhi Nagar near Simha Theertham, when he was set upon by a group of seven or eight people on the Tiruvannamalai-Bangalore Highway. The human rights defender fell off his bike when the assailants threw chilli powder in his face, and they then attacked him with sharp objects before fleeing the scene. K Rajmohan Chandra died on the spot as a result of severe cuts inflicted to his head and body.
After the killing was reported to the Tiruvannamalai Town Police, the Police Superintendent R.V. Ramya Bharati and the Deputy Superintendent C. Ravichandiran visited the crime scene. It is reported that four special teams have been tasked with continuing the investigation.
Two individuals have surrendered themselves to the Polur judicial magistrate in connection with the murder. Both individuals have been remanded in judicial custody, and the police reportedly intend to take them into police custody for interrogation. Furthermore, Tiruvannamalai Town Police have filed a First Information Report (FIR) based on a complaint lodged by K Rajmohan Chandra's wife, who witnessed the attack. The police have detained five suspects for questioning. In her complaint, the defender's wife alleged that she saw six assailants, four of whom she was able to identify. One of these individuals is a municipal councillor who has reportedly gone into hiding.
Front Line Defenders believes that the killing of human rights defender K Rajmohan Chandra is directly related to his legitimate and peaceful work in defence of human rights, and is gravely concerned for the physical and psychological integrity of other human rights defenders working on cases of alleged corruption in India.
Action Update Needed. Before taking further action on this case please contact email@example.com for further information

I regularly sit on a Herman Miller Eames lounge chair at work; so I know what it's like - Your version is aesthetically very close and blows other reproductions out of the water.
I've been looking for an excellent reproduction of the famous Eames Lounge for a long while & when I discovered your version I was almost instantly sold.
Super fast delivery, excellent customer service and amazing quality to price ratio. Kudos Manhattan Home Design!
I Love my Wicker Sofa set!! Thanks for making the process very easy with great customer service & speedy delivery!
This is the highest quality and most true-to-the-original (non-HM/Vitra) reproduction available. I'm confident that very few could honestly tell yours from the licensed version.
I purchased your platform bench last week. The Bench itself is of good quality and I�m very satisfied with it.
Purchased two Aluminum Group Executive Chairs from your website. We love the leather and aluminum design, and at this price, may order several more. Thanks and great job on shipping and service.
Ordered two Womb chairs and we are very pleased with the craftsmanship and quality of the material. We think that if you set it next to the Knoll chair with the higher price tag no one would know the difference!
Thanks for the amazing Arco lamp. Not only did it arrive in two days, but it's such a good reproduction. I've seen and studied the original and honestly, no one would be able to tell the difference. Can't wait to try more of your products.
Quality of materials are top notch. I would recommend you very highly to anyone.
I went to the showroom on Friday and ordered the Eames lounge Chair. I got the chair next week and I couldn't be happier! The leather is so comfortable and the design is great. I will definitely recommend them!
Overall I am very happy with my Knoll Sofa purchase. Packaging of the product was excellent. Placing the order on the website was easy. Great job Manhattan Home Design!
The modern office chair is so comfortable. I am more than pleased with your customer service, which was very efficient as was the delivery process. I would definitely tell all my friends to order from Manhattan Home Design.
Got the Eames Lounge Chair and Ottoman for my Birthday. I�m very pleased with the quality of the product and customer service. Will order again.... Many thanks!
I purchased the Womb chair and I love it! It is so comfortable and I got it for such a great price thanks to the coupon I got from you. I am very satisfied with the customer service and I am sure I will make further purchases in the future.

Hello all,
I've had Type 1 for 35 years and I have a very severe dawn effect around 3-4 am. I recently changed the time and amount of my evening Levemir dose and that has really helped with the morning highs. Still, I notice that if I don't take my insulin and eat immediately upon waking up my blood sugar will rise with no food intake. Here is an example:
8 am - bs 123
no food, no insulin
10 am - bs 323
My doctor has explained how the liver will automatically release glucose into the blood stream after not eating all night. Taking insulin and eating right away will stop the liver from doing this. Ok, makes sense. But I don't always eat first thing when I wake up. Sometimes I don't eat for an hour or so. Now I have started taking 2 units in the am even without food and then doing another bolus when I eat. Hoping this will not drop me too low. So far it's working.
Does this happen to anyone else?
At the moment I am also having terrible numbers in the morning. It used to be that 9 mornings out of 10, I would wake up at 80-100. The last 24 hours was fairly typical of the weird highs I have been seeing. I went to bed in range, about 100. In the past that would have meant I'd wake up 80-90. But this morning I woke up at 130. I took 7 units of Apidra, had a cup of tea with no sugar and just a small splash of milk. Two hours later, I was at 100. Five hours later and with the insulin on its way out, I was at 80.
I am not sure what's going on either. But for sure you are not alone!
Thank you both for your reply. It's always difficult to start the day with high blood sugars. I always feel I'm playing catch up.
I've found that I rise getting out of bed, whether it's a night's sleep or a nap. I've started taking between .5-1 unit as soon as I get up, then worry about breakfast whenever and bolus for it.
I do this too, unless I am low ( under 70): I take a unit upon arising in the morn ( not for my infreuent daytine naps, though). I correct with more insulin if ncessary, but even if I AM in range, I take a unit of insulin.Then I can postpone brerakfast and still have a normal BG, whenever(PS: I do not have hypo-unawareness)
God bless,
I take my dog for a walk every morning at 6:30 am. I started doing this when the Big Blue Test started in October. I used to leave my house at 95 for a blood sugar and by the time I got back I was in the 150-160's without eating anything. Obviously the liver said, hey you haven't eaten anything and you're exercising, better throw some sugar in the mix. So in response to this, I decided to eat something and see what happened. This too was not successful. Finally I decided to take a 3 units of humalog and bring a 15 gram snack bar with me on my 40 minute walk. My I:C ratio for breakfast is 1:5 so it makes sense. this has worked really well. I start at 95 finish at 95 or thereabouts and I have no lows or highs. I'm not a huge fan of eating that early, and if the Dexcom says I am stable I usually skip the snack bar and just take my coffee with me. I always have glucose tabs in case I go low, but so far I have not needed them.
Although I am T2, I also suffer from bad Darn Phenomenon (DP). I heavily stack my insulin overnight (I take more than 3 times my daytime basal level), but it is still a struggle. I still often find I have to correct. On observation I made, even before I started insulin is that not eating in the morning can make DP much worse. DP occurs as your liver releases glucose. Glucagon signals the liver to release glucose and higher levels of insulin can override the glucagon, but it often takes much higher levels than you might think. Instead, you can deal with the source of the messed up signals. If you don't eat, your body can get confused, demanding energy, but having no food it turns on your liver into super nova. Eating something, anything in the morning can really help. I found a protein shake, a nut bar or just an egg or two was enough to "reset" my system. Somehow eating turns off those confused signals. I still often awake high and need to correct, but I always eat something first thing so I don't have a really bad day.
That's exactly what happens with me. I had to change my basal rates to start increasing before I even wake up just to cover that am spike, and sometimes, depending on the time of the month, I will give an extra 1 unit bolus just to cover it.
It does make for a rough day starting out so high. Just keep working at it :)
I have dawn effects. I have the insulin pump and Dexcom which warns me if I hit high or low in the middle of the night. My doctor adjusted my dose on the pump to .50mg of Novolog (drips every hour) after midnight until 6:00 a.m. This has helped somewhat. When the alarm on the Dexcom goes off I get up, test, and bolus extra insulin if it's high or drink some OJ if it's low. I sleep with a 1/2 glass of oj on my nightstand. It's frustrating because no matter what my bg is at bedtime, there's an unpredictable incident between 3-4 a.m.
How often do you inject your levemir? The timing would be interesting too.
