Behind the scenes with Africa's first Pro-Continental team and an outfit whose mission goes beyond winning bike races
Previous News
Next News
Although it's barely started this year's Tirreno Adriatico has already seen one significant landmark passed, no not Cav pulling the race leader's jersey on after a time trial, but the inclusion of Team MTN-Qhubeka the first African cycling team ever to start a WorldTour event. This short film takes a behind the scenes look at the team at Tirreno Adriatico and explains more about social mission which also sets them apart from the run-of-the-mill pro sports team.
That mission is to help alleviate poverty in rural African communities by giving children bikes in return for working on green projects such as planting trees. Giving access to transport helps to unlock a whole raft of opportunities for rural Africans. You can find out more about the foundation's work on its website www.qhubeka.org and in the second video about the team below. The MTN in the team's name is their other major sponsor a leading South African telecoms company.
The team, which was founded in 2007, gained Pro-Continental status in November last year - the first African team to do so also has a wild card entry in to Milan San Remo. They've already made their mark in some of the early season races too with Gerald Ciolek - the team's best known rider taking the final stage of the Three Days of West Flanders.

This is one of many videos on YouTube in which many of the team's riders, both foreign and African, are interviewed... and a number of them are black, but as I am sure you know, not all Africans are black either...

Editor's note: The following information is part of a countdown recap from the inaugural Top 100 Movers and Shakers publication. It was published in 2012. Some of the information may now be different.
New Orleans-based Naked Pizza – with its "LivNaked" mantra – is just a few years old, but is way ahead of the fledgling healthier food trend with its all-natural, gluten-free ingredients. The business got its start around 2006 by four ambitious partners who tapped high-stakes investors such as billionaire Mark Cuban to help get the ball rolling.
In the six years since, the chain has been recognized by publications such as the New York Times and Entrepreneur magazine. Cuban has also taken a more active role in the company, bringing his network and resources into the mix, according to partner Robbie Vitrano.
Naked Pizza's health-focused menu and mission was the differentiator Vitrano, Randy Crochet, Brock Fillinger and Jeff Leach needed to plant the seed. Its social media strategy helped with the germination.
Naked Pizza is up to 7,000 Facebook fans and nearly 17,000 Twitter followers. The business garnered much attention early on when the delivery billboard in front of its New Orleans restaurant was replaced with one that advertises its Twitter handle.
"We've continued to be invited to share our story and lend our point of view relative to social innovation and entrepreneurship, most recently keynoting Inc. magazine's GrowCo and next month at the Social Innovation Summit 2012 at the UN," Vitrano said.
Naked Pizza's customized POS systems can track orders related to social media promotions and can individualize special offers. Each store is equipped with an iPad kiosk for customers to place carry-out orders, tweet to the company and sign up for email newsletters.
Naked Pizza's main niche is its food, with a crust made from an Ancestral Blend of 10 grains, plus prebiotic agave fiber and probiotics (think, yogurt). The tomato sauce is all-natural, spiced and herbed, with no added sugar or citric acid. Cheese is 100-percent natural, rGBH-free, real Wisconsin mozzarella, and veggies are also all-natural, no additives. Proteinson the menu include pork, chicken and beef, all free of growth hormones and antibiotics.
"We intend to launch the world's largest grassroots health movement. We'll do that by making a delicious, affordable, all- natural pizza," according to the company's website.
Naked Pizza also just jumped into the frozen pizza space, adding a retail component to the fast-growing business. The fledgling company has 23 units in the U.S. and the Middle East (five in Dubai), with numerous agreements in the pipeline, including in Beirut, Sydney, Nairobi, Miami, Chicago, Vancouver, Seattle and Philadelphia. India and Australia are also scheduled to get their first Naked Pizzas.

FACE FRONT – The view from Route 132 of the new commercial building proposed for Southwind Plaza in Hyannis. The wings are planned as restaurant spaces, with retail uses in the middle.
The owners of Southwind Plaza want customers and potential tenants to know they're open for business up the hill from Route 132 in Hyannis. They're preparing a new declaration of that fact: an 8,050-square-foot retail and restaurant building 132 feet back from the highway, nestled between Sam Diego's and the former Borders bookstore.
Proponents met with site plan review officials Oct. 13 for a formal session following a number of informal consultations, and won approval to pursue next steps including OKs from the zoning board of appeals.
Southwind, with access from Route 132, Independence Drive, and Attucks Lane, includes a Stop & Shop and Home Depot among its existing buildings on 31 acres.
"This is a property in transition," Tom Wilder, principal of The Wilder Companies, owner of Southwind, said at this week's site plan meeting. He noted the supermarket's plans to move from its 55,000-square-foot location in Southwind to a new building farther north on Route 132, as well as the search for a new tenant for the Borders building.
So why build more space now?
"We saw this as making a statement on the street," Wilder said, "to let people know this is a great shopping facility." In the economic downturn, Wilder said, the company is focusing on reinvestment in its properties, including the Falmouth Mall.
"We have a tremendous amount of interest in this building and the other spaces," he said.
Attorney Liza Cox and a group of consultants walked site plan officials through the proposal. The new building, set back about 89 feet from Sam Diego's, will have two restaurants and two retail stores (no names yet). There'll be a new right-only entrance to the property off Route 132 and a road and pedestrian connection within the site to the former Borders building.
The proposed building is under the 10,000-square-foot commercial structure review threshold, but approval of a minor modification in open space will be required from the agency.
"Thanks for listening to us," Building Commissioner Tom Perry told Cox and the applicants, "and incorporating our suggestions."

'Droopy Drawers Bandit' wanted for smash-and-grab
SALEM, Ore - Police are on the lookout for a robber they have dubbed the "Droopy Drawers Bandit."
The man is wanted in connection with a robbery that happened just after 3:30 a.m. Thursday at the US Market located at 2096 State Street.
According to police, the man used a car door (just the door - no car) to smash a hole in the store's front glass door.
He then ran inside and grabbed beer and cigarettes.
The suspect was dubbed the "Droopy Drawers Bandit" because at one point his pants nearly fell down, revealing bright red shorts.
When police arrived, they found a considerable amount of blood at the scene, which led them to believe the man had cut himself while breaking in.

Winovich switch vital to TJ success
TribLIVE Sports Videos
The Thomas Jefferson football team beat Ringgold, 41-14, in its 2012 season opener.
In Week 2, the Jaguars narrowly escaped with a 21-19 win at Elizabeth Forward.
Following that close call, the TJ coaching staff decided to make a personnel move.
Chase Winovich, a 6-foot-4, 200-pound junior, moved from his safety position — where he had started as a sophomore — to inside linebacker.
The Jaguars haven't looked back, reeling off eight overpowering victories in a row including last week's 63-19 shellacking of Hollidaysburg last week in the first round of the WPIAL Class AAA playoffs.
In the regular season, Winovich led the team in tackles with 45, including 39 unassisted stops, with four fumble recoveries and five sacks.
"We've found a spot for him, that's for sure. He's been getting better and better every week," Bill Cherpak, Thomas Jefferson's head coach, said. "He can cover the whole field, he can run, and he has size. He's a football player."
Winovich joined junior Austin Boyd at inside linebacker, while senior linebacker Derek Toboz switched from inside to outside. He was united with Colton Booher, a senior, on the outside, and Zach Talley, a junior, took over at safety.
The fiery Winovich has been a catalyst in the Jaguars' impressive defensive effort this season. Since the Elizabeth Forward game, the Jaguars have allowed only 55 points (7.9 ppg) and has posted two shutouts.
"(Chase) is aggressive, and he will make plays. He puts pressure on the other team," Cherpak said. "He likes to create havoc in the backfield."
Never was that more evident than in the recent Big Nine Conference championship game at TJ Stadium.
The Jaguars defeated rival West Mifflin, 28-14, as Winovich was credited with a team-high 12 tackles, including 11 unassisted stops, with one sack.
He surely is looking forward to providing the Jaguars with a sterling performance on possibly an even bigger stage — Heinz Field in the WPIAL finals — on Thanksgiving Day weekend.

If you've been following along on Sophistishe, you know that we've been sprucing up our backyard and making it our own. It's always convenient to have amenities at home that would otherwise be public whether it's a swing, pool, slide, or sandbox. To complete our backyard, Step2 sent over the Naturally Playful Sand & Water Center and it has been a hit! First, it was super easy to put together. No problems there. We just had to pop in the legs, and assemble the umbrella. Until we were able to get some sand, Jayden used the Sand & Water Center as a water table. I kind of regret adding the sand… He made such a mess in the sand, mixing it with the water! All in fun though. But I'm not so sure we'll leave the sand in the table next year.
The Naturally Playful Sand & Water Center includes 2 bridges, 2 boats, 2 plant pots, and 1 shovel. As you can see in the photos above, Jayden added some of his toys to the mix! The umbrella serves as a great shield from the sun and the rain. Jayden does not like for water to touch his face or head, but he couldn't resist playing in the sand on a rainy day!
I especially love the Sand & Water Center's lid. It's elastic ties secure it while keeping critters and harsh elements out. The lid also has a built in track/road that Jayden loves to put his trains on. I also love the natural colors of the Sand & Water Center. It blends in a little better with our backyard. We already have the Play Up Double Slide Climber, which is a pretty big and bright piece, so we wanted a natural looking sand and water table since it's positioned in our sitting area.
The Naturally Playful Sand & Water Center is a great toy to keep the little ones entertained for hours – even if it means a few messes! And I just love it to bits because it's so aesthetically pleasing to my eyes! Go get it!

Iron Absorption From Infant Formula and Iron Drops in Infants (MJAU-studien)
Recruitment status was Recruiting
- Full Text View

- Disclaimer
- How to Read a Study Record
Iron deficiency (ID) affects up to 25% of Swedish infants and severe ID is associated with cognitive and behavioral problems. To avoid this, iron supplements or iron-fortified infant foods are recommended for infants. However, the optimal iron dose and mode of delivery have not yet been established. This is a concern as excessive iron intake may impair growth and increase morbidity in iron-sufficient infants. Previous studies have suggested that iron-fortified foods may have different effects than iron supplements. In this study, the investigators will investigate whether the mode of iron administration (supplementation vs. fortification) and the amount consumed (high intakes vs. low intakes) affect iron absorption, iron utilization, and zinc absorption in healthy term non-iron-deficient 6-month-old infants.

Publisher and developer of mobile games Rovio has recently released a major update for one of its smash hits in the Angry Birds franchise, Angry Birds Space. In fact, according to the company, this should be the biggest update that the game has received since its launch.
Obviously, this is a content update, so fans of the franchise should expect lots of new levels and gameplay features. Well, apparently, there are no less than 40 new levels included in this update, along with 10 bonus ones that can be unlocked during play.
The reason for which Rovio has decided to bring such a large update to Angry Birds Space players is the celebration of its two-year anniversary for this particular title.
Aside from the new levels, the developers did not seem to have added anything else, at least according to the official changelog, which is available below.
"Strap in and get ready for launch – it's the biggest Angry Birds Space update ever! To celebrate over two years of epic intergalactic adventure, the all-new BEAK IMPACT episode has a whopping 40 new levels, plus another 10 bonus ones! Think you can master them all?"
You can now download Angry Birds Space for Android 2.0.0 for free via Google Play Store. The game has been confirmed to work on most Android devices powered by Android 2.3 and up.

RACP Key Compliance Guidelines
Return to main RACP page
Please review this material carefully and in its entirety as it is a critical element of the RACP process.
It is suggested that a copy of this complete document be given to your Project, Construction Manager, and/or Architect so that they are fully aware of the RACP requirements related to each. Click here for a PDF version of these guidelines. This document should be included in your bid packages, and should be made an addendum to any and all construction contracts, plans and specifications related to the RACP project.
Compliance with all RACP requirements, including the key items in these guidelines will be monitored frequently throughout the construction phase of your project and will be reviewed once more during the legislatively mandated close-out audit.
The sole and exclusive bidding requirement for RACP projects is in the Capital Facilities Debt Enabling Act (Act 67 of 2004), which states "Notwithstanding any other provision of law, the solicitation of a minimum of three written bids for all contracted construction work on redevelopment assistance capital projects shall be the sole requirement for the composition, solicitation, opening and award of bids on such projects." Unless the terms of the law change, the Office of the Budget cannot grant waivers for bidding requirements to Grantees.
RACP projects are not subject to separation of trades. You are REQUIRED to solicit a minimum of three (3) bids for "all generally contracted work" being performed within the RACP defined scope of work. You are not required to receive three (3) bid responses. However, you should provide documentation to prove that at least three bids were solicited by providing copies of the solicitation letters (preferably on letterhead of the bidding entity) used in the bidding process. You are not required to select the lowest bidder, but if you do not, you will have to provide a brief written justification for your selection. Note: there is NO threshold level under the RACP program regardless of the size or dollar amount associated with the work to be performed. You need to show that you solicited a minimum of three (3) bids for any contract to be eligible for RACP.
Bidding is acceptable at either the general contractor level (described in option a. below) or at the sub-contractor level (described in option b. below):
a. General Contractor (GC) Level - If you chose to bid at the GC level, please note that the bid should encompass the entire RACP scope of work to be performed including all associated construction work. The dollar amount bid on the project must include 100% of the work to be performed by the GC and the sub-contractors. Bidding at the GC level will require submission of bidding and construction related documents at the GC level only (see Sub-Contractor level below for a distinction)
b. Sub-Contractor Level - If you choose not to solicit three bids for a General Contractor, then you are required to solicit a minimum of three bids for EACH Sub-Contractor covering all trades involved in the project. Note that any self-performed work by a non-bid GC is NOT an eligible cost for reimbursement OR match purposes. Bidding at the Sub-Contractor level will require submission of bidding and construction related documents at the sub level…meaning proof of bidding, construction contracts, payment and performance bonds, insurance etc. will need to be provided for every sub-contractor in the RACP scope.
Professional Services: Professional services associated with the project are not required to be bid as these associated costs are only eligible as match.
Change Orders: Grantees and/or Sub-Grantees are not required to competitively bid out change orders as long as the work was within the RACP scope of the original bid and is less than 20% of the total contract. If a change order is for work beyond the RACP scope of work originally bid, the Grantee will be required to competitively bid out the new scope of work in order to be considered RACP eligible.
The Office of the Budget cannot grant waivers to the Pennsylvania Steel Procurement Act unless the terms of the law change. All Grantees must comply with the Steel Procurement Act. If a Grantee fails to abide by the Pennsylvania Steel Procurement Act, it does so at its own risk.
For a full explanation on the RACP steel requirements, click here.
In the past, OB only accepted the ST-4 Form (justification for the use of foreign steel) that the Department of General Services (DGS) has exclusively devised to address exceptions linked to the requirements of the Steel Products Procurement Act when it was necessary. Recently, OB has approved the acceptability of two more DGS ST Forms (ST-2, ST-3) with some caveats, providing that the forms are properly filled out. The ST-1 Form will not be accepted by the Office of the Budget. It is not necessary for the ST-2, ST-3, and ST-4 Forms to be notarized.
Please be aware that ST forms are acceptable only in cases where nonstructural steel needs to be addressed. The DGS ST forms do not replace the steel certification forms associated with structural steel. The Office of the Budget will continue to require that steel mill certifications be submitted to demonstrate compliance with the steel requirements.
The DGS website has copies of the three acceptable ST Forms: Visit the DGS website to get copies of the 3 acceptable ST Forms.
It is suggested that the certifications be collected at the time any steel for the project is purchased and delivered for the project to ease the collection process.
Be advised that the Office of the Budget DOES NOT need to approve the ST forms prior to the start of the construction period. The ST forms need to be submitted to demonstrate that compliance, when and where necessary, has been met.
We shall deem as ineligible all contracts that are unable to demonstrate compliance via the submission of steel certifications/ST forms. Therefore, the value of construction contracts associated with non-compliant steel will be removed (both materials and labor costs) from the scope of the project, which may in turn affect the project ability to leverage their full grant amount (project may not receive its full grant).
Recycled products, melted from previously used steel, are acceptable, providing that adequate documentation from the supplier has been furnished. The supplier shall certify that the recycled steel product was produced in the USA.
In accordance with the Trade Practices Act of July 23, 1968, P.L. 686 (71 P.S. § 773.101 et seq.), the Grantee cannot and shall not use or permit to be used in the work any aluminum or steel products made in a foreign country which is listed below as a foreign country which discriminates against aluminum or steel products manufactured in Pennsylvania. The countries of Argentina, Brazil, South Korea, and Spain have been found to discriminate against certain products manufactured in Pennsylvania. Therefore, the purchase or use of those countries' products, as listed below, is not permitted:
a. Argentina: carbon steel wire rod and cold-rolled carbon steel sheet.
b. Brazil: welded carbon steel pipes and tubes; carbon steel wire rod; tool steel; certain stainless steel products, including hot-rolled stainless steel bar; stainless steel wire rod and cold-formed stainless steel bar; pre-stressed concrete steel wire strand; hot-rolled carbon steel plate in coil; hot-rolled carbon steel sheet; and cold-rolled carbon steel sheet.
c. South Korea: welded carbon steel pipes and tubes; hot-rolled carbon steel plate; hot-rolled carbon steel sheet; and galvanized steel sheet.
d. Spain: certain stainless steel products, including stainless steel wire rod, hot-rolled stainless steel bars; and cold-formed stainless steel bars; pre-stressed concrete steel wire strand; and certain steel products, including hot-rolled steel plate, cold-rolled carbon steel plate, carbon steel structural shapes; galvanized carbon steel sheet, hot-rolled carbon steel bars, and cold- formed carbon steel bars.
Penalties for violation of the above paragraphs may be found in the Trade Practices Act, which penalties include becoming ineligible for public works contracts for a period of three years.
This provision in no way relieves the Grantee of responsibility to comply with those provisions which prohibit the use of foreign-made steel and cast iron products.
The requirement for 100% payment and performance (P&P) bonds is a state law; the Office of the Budget cannot waive this requirement.
A performance bond must be obtained at 100% of the contract amount, conditioned upon the faithful performance of the contract in accordance with the plans, specifications, and conditions of the contract. Such bond shall be solely for the protection of the contracting body which awarded said contract.
A payment bond must be obtained at 100% of the contract amount. Such bond shall be solely for the protection of claimants supplying labor or materials to the Grantee, its contractor or to any of its subcontractors, in the prosecution of the work provided for in such contract, and shall be conditioned for the prompt payment of all such material furnished or labor supplied or performed in the prosecution of the work. "Labor or materials" shall include public utility services and reasonable rentals of equipment, but only for periods when the equipment rented is actually used at the site.
The Office of the Budget cannot grant waivers for the PA Prevailing Wage Act. All Grantees must comply with the act. Grantees that fail to abide by the Prevailing Wage Act do so at their own risk. Please do not assume that PA Prevailing Wage is always consistent with your local union wages.
All projects should apply for a wage determination letter prior to the start of construction by registering the project with the PA Department of Labor and Industry to obtain the prevailing wage rates relevant to your project. This determination sheet will provide the necessary trade classifications for the project, along with their corresponding hourly wage and hourly fringe rates that are required for the certified payrolls required as part of RACP. The wage determination should be obtained within 120 days of the award of construction contracts. If necessary, the Department of Labor and Industry can issue determinations letters after construction has begun.
The prevailing wage information and forms can be found on-line at the following web address: Visit the Labor & Industry website to access prevailing wage information and forms.
Certified Payroll Requirements: Grantees and/or Sub-grantees MUST provide certified payrolls for all RACP projects to demonstrate compliance with the PA Prevailing Wage Act requirement of RACP. Certified payroll reports from all contractors and subcontractors should detail each employee's proper trade classification along with hourly pay rates AND hourly fringe benefit rates, itemized, in compliance with the PA Prevailing Wage Act.
Davis Bacon: If federal funds are included as part of the source of funds in the RACP defined project then Davis Bacon Prevailing Wage Rate requirements would supersede the PA Prevailing Wage rate requirement ONLY if the associated federal funds stipulate that Davis Bacon Prevailing Wage rates are required and the federal funds are not excluded from being able to pay construction cost; for example available only to pay A&E cost; by the project or the grant document.
Typically your architect should provide a letter stating the plans and specs are in compliance with ADA regulations. Additionally, the Grantee agrees to comply with the General Prohibitions Against Discrimination, 28 C.F.R. § 35.130, and all other regulations promulgated under Title II of The Americans with Disabilities Act which are applicable to all benefits, services, programs, and activities provided by the commonwealth through contracts.
The Grantee shall procure and furnish evidence to OB of fidelity bonds with coverage to be maintained under the administrative title of the position in amounts and for such positions as are reasonably determined by OB. Fidelity Bonding is also commonly known as "Employee Dishonest Insurance." The minimum level of coverage should equal the average monthly RACP reimbursement amount based on the total grant amount.
a. Worker's Compensation Insurance - The Grantee shall provide Worker's Compensation Insurance where required, and shall accept full responsibility for the payment of premiums for Worker's Compensation Insurance and Social Security, as well as income tax withholding and any other taxes or payroll deductions required by law for its employees who are performing services related to the project.
b. General Liability & Property Damage Insurance - The Grantee will provide and maintain comprehensive general liability and property damage insurance in the minimum amount of $250,000.00 per person for injury and death in a single occurrence; $1,000,000.00 per occurrence for injury or death of more than one (1) person in a single occurrence; and $500,000.00 for a single occurrence of property damage, and which shall be endorsed to protect the commonwealth.
c. Flood Insurance – If the project is wholly or partially within a floodplain, proof of sufficient flood insurance coverage must be provided. In any case, a project is required to provide a copy of a floodplain map of the project area, with the project site being delineated thereon.
Identify Commonwealth as Additional Insured: The commonwealth shall be listed on the above insurance policies as an additional insured. Upon request, the Grantee shall furnish proof of insurance as required by this section to OB.
Article 8 of the RACP Grant Agreement spells out sale price restrictions for a governmental entity that sells property that was acquired and/or improved with RACP funds. The restrictions are required to insure that the Grantees CANNOT sell the property for a net gain or even recoup the value of the grant in the sale price.

They lose $500,000 and it's no big deal.
Could you afford to take a $500,000 loss on an investment? Didn't think so. Jennifer Aniston recently sold some property in New York for half a million less than she bought it for. And it's not like she had to sell it; she just wanted to liquidate some assets. To put things in perspective, Jen also just bought a $21 million mansion in Bel Air and sold her Beverly Hills mansion for $36 million. (Radar Online)

Sanford City Commission Denies Resignation of Trayvon Martin Police Chief
Posted By Adan On April 23, 2012 @ 4:26 pm In Hot News,Old Infowars Posts Style | Comments Disabled
April 23, 2012
The Sanford City Commission has voted to deny the resignation on Monday of Police Chief Bill Lee Jr., who temporarily stepped down from his position in connection to the Trayvon Martin shooting.
Sanford Mayor Jeff Triplett called the special meeting with city commissioners Monday afternoon. Commissioners voted 3-2 against the resolution, which would have allowed City Manager Norton Bonaparte to execute the separation agreement for Lee. Under the agreement, Lee would have resigned from his post, effective at midnight.
Lee will stay on administrative leave until the outside investigation is completed, officials said. It's not clear when that will be.

Talking Hair with Naomi Watts, Pantene's Beautiful Lengths Ambassador
Fri, 16 November 2012 12:11PM
Naomi Watts has come along way since her beachside days on Home & Away. As has her hair. The Australian (albeit British-born) actress might still be a natural-loving, beachy-haired babe at heart (more on that in a mo), but the mega-watt star can do glamorous Hollywood hair like few others. No wonder she scored herself a Pantene contract along the way to international fame.
Image: courtesy of Pantene
Naomi Watts has been in Sydney the past few days, to help celebrate Pantene Beautiful Lengths National Donate Your Hair Week. And that's why I found myself sitting across from the glamorous star yesterday, with 8.59 minutes in which to talk all things hair.
Although I did manage to quickly slip in a personal question, about how she makes bringing up two boys seem so glamorous (for me, I feel like I live in a constant cycle of picking trucks up off the floor and mopping various bits of goo off my beloved Stella McCartney bag). "Do I?"' Naomi asked incredulously. "It's not always glamorous, believe me!"
I don't believe her, you know. Naomi is a star of the classic, old-Hollywood variety. She wouldn't have looked out of place in the 1950s, alongside Grace and Marilyn and all the Hitchcock blondes. She radiates pure glamour. Not to mention glow. The lady positively beams, from her shiny, chic nails to her dewy skin to her lustrous hair.
Speaking of hair, let's get down to business, shall we?
PRIMPED: You're the ambassador for Pantene Beautiful Lengths – why is this campaign so close to your heart?
Naomi Watts: Originally it came to me as a hair endorsement, which is always very flattering, and then they asked me if I wanted to get involved in the Beautiful Lengths campaign. It made a lot of sense to me to be supportive in some way, and was a great opportunity, because for women who are undergoing cancer treatments, it's not a great feeling as it is, but to be then told you're going to lose your hair… So Pantene can provide you with a real-hair wig and help you feel more like yourself again. I got to see it today firsthand, in a room full of women at St Vincent's Hospital at a Look Good…Feel Better workshop. We passed over the wigs and you could just feel the spirits being lifted. It was such a great group of women. Collectively when women come together for any subject, it's always a great atmosphere to be a part of, but even women who are dealing with something as difficult as this disease … it was just wonderful to see how their spirits were lifted.
P: We often talk about having a good hair day, but knowing you have a nice 'do really does make you feel a little better, doesn't it?
NW: Well, hair is such a part of a woman's identity and it starts as early as, you know, when you're six in the playground and playing around with each other's hair.
P: Can I ask you about your own hair now … You've had a similar length for a while now. After this week, do you have any temptation to go shorter?
NW: Yes definitely! I've actually gone up and down quite a bit but Pantene need me to keep my hair at a certain length, so I've been trying to keep it as healthy and as long as possible. Unfortunately my hair stops growing at a certain point. It's very fine. I'd love to be able to donate 20 centimetres but I don't have it!
(PRIMPED note: you also can't donate hair that has been treated with permanent colour).
P: What has been your favourite shorter 'do?
NW: I've always liked a short bob. I had it in Mulholland Drive, but I did once have a really short hair cut, back in my late teens or early twenties.
Naomi in 2009
P: You're playing Princess Diana, who inspired a generation of women to cut their hair. Do you think the Diana 'do is ripe for a comeback?
NW: Her 'do was more about the '90s … And it seems that the '90s are really right back with fashion: the shoulder pads, the double-breasted jackets …
P: So watch this space! In the meantime, what are some great tips and techniques you've picked up in your time on set, working with top stylists?
NW: I'm always better with not too much product because I've got fine hair. I've never learned how to do my hair – I don't even know how to blow-dry my hair! I love having someone do my hair, so I don't have to do it!
P: So what would be your go-to style for a weekend?
NW: A ponytail. Or fresh out of the shower and a rough-dry. I also love it when you've been to the beach and the salt has gotten into your hair – even if you haven't swum, you get that salty mist and it gives your hair body.
P: If we peeked into your bathroom, what hair products would we find?
NW: I love the Pantene oil (Intensive Damage Repair Oil, $9.99, from pharmacies) because I get quite dry. I just work it through the ends, on dry hair, as needed.
P: Do you eat anything in particular for hair health, or take any supplements?
NW: Lots of water and I keep a fairly healthy diet, like fish and vegetables … but I'm not fanatical about it. I do like pizza!
P: We're almost out of time … can I finish off by showing you some of our favourite looks from the past and from this year?
NW: Sure.
P: This was at the Oscars in 2009. It's so romantic and pretty …
NW: I love the middle part. I always thought I couldn't wear a middle parting until this day. I love how it's quite a simple look.
P: This is another all-time favourite of ours, from about ten years ago … It's kind of that beachy look you were just talking about …
NW: That was also at the Oscars. I had a black fairly simple dress so we wanted to make the hair look wild. I don't like big updos. I like hair to look like I've done it myself.
P: So from this year, one highlight has been this vintage-looking 'do, which had the fabric flowers pinned at the back with a little twirly bun.
NW: They're finger waves. But again, it was actually quite simple.
P: And this was another great look from this year, with the long sleek faux-pony …
NW: Oh yes, I added a bit of length there! I often do add a little extra length for the red carpet.
P: And finally, this one. You just look so drop-dead glamorous …
NW: This has actually been one of my favourite looks because it's a tribute to the old-Hollywood hairdo, but it's not too tight or serious or severe.
P: And just to end up, do you have any final words of hair wisdom you'd like to leave us with?
NW: Use the right shampoo, but don't wash every day. I wash every other day.
And with that, I was off. While über-hairstylist Renya Xydis jumped in to make sure Naomi's hair was perfectly in place for her next interview.
Oh to have an on-call hair guru… But isn't it nice to know Naomi's still a salty-haired Aussie beach girl at heart?
What about you, Primpers? Beachy waves or Hollywood glamour?
Which Naomi hairstyle of recent times has been your favourite?
And do you think the Princess Diana 'do will come back?

The historic first pitch is yet to be thrown at the SCG, but organisers are hoping Major League Baseball in Sydney can become a four-yearly event.
Securing the rights to host official MLB matches has been a process nearly eight years in the making for promoter Jason Moore of Moore Sports.
However, director of the MLB's Australia and Oceania office, Tom Nicholson revealed the first moves towards bringing America's favourite pastime down under were made after the Sydney Olympics.
Now the dream has finally become a reality, with the LA Dodgers and Arizona Diamondbacks to lock horns this weekend, organisers are confident they have the infrastructure and know-how in place to host MLB matches at the SCG on a regular four-year cycle.
And it seems the desire to make baseball part of the Sydney sporting calendar isn't a one-way street.
MLB officials are interested in Australia for its talent resources and proximity to the huge Asian market.
Nicholson confirmed Sydney is being looked at to host the MLB opening series again in 2018.
"Absolutely. We want this to be a success. We want Sydney to support it and they are," Nicholson told AAP.
"This has never been done before especially in what we call a developing market.
"It's OK in Japan, you just turn the key - you've got a ready-made baseball stadium.
"But coming somewhere as iconic as Sydney and the SCG, we're trailblazing.
"Seeing all this hard work and the template we have now to replicate next time around, we'd love to host this every four years.
"There is a window for us on the international calendar so we're looking at 2018 as a possibility and have it every four years thereafter."
The MLB were initially concerned about Sydney for travel and logistical reasons, but came around to Moore's concept for two key reasons.
The potential of the Australian Baseball League, which is to begin its fourth season, and the fact that Sydney was a safe and easy way to bring the game to Asia.
"We're not going to get ahead of ourselves, let's just worry about getting past the 23rd of March," said Moore, who has negotiated the concept from the start.
"We would like to think we now have a playbook of how to do it and certainly we'll sit down after the dust settles and speak with NSW government, speak with the SCG, speak with Major League Baseball.
"People should be aware that baseball is a growing sport in this country ... there's some great opportunity for talent here. We're certainly over represented from Major League Baseball scouts, with 28 of 30 clubs represented by fulltime scouts in this country.
"We are the gateway to Asia and from a business to business standpoint, this is a business opportunity for them - 2.2 billion people live in our time zone."
Arizona and LA players will touch down on Tuesday, the Diamondbacks suffering a major blow with starting pitcher Patrick Corbin ruled out with an elbow injury, while the Dodgers will be missing all-star Carl Crawford, who is staying back for the birth of his child.

100 Team GB contenders for London 2012: Liam Tancock
Swimming (100m backstroke)
Born : 07/05/85
Career highlights
The two-time 50m backstroke world champion and world record holder has won medals at every major competition except the Olympics. He was one of three British gold medallists at the 2011 World Championships in Shanghai, becoming the first man to retain the 50m backstroke title.
He picked up four medals at the 2010 Commonwealth Games, including gold in the 50m and 100m backstroke. As the 50m backstroke is not an Olympic event, it is the 100m backstroke he will be concentrating on in 2012.
Olympic history
- 2008 - 6th (100m backstroke), 8th (200m individual medley)
Did you know?
He practises ballet as part of his warm-up before swim sessions. He and the rest of the Loughborough-based British team also do kick boxing, rock climbing, 40km cycle rides and running.
"They help enhance strength, co-ordination, stamina and balance," Tancock explains.
Did you know?
Devon-born Tancock played rugby union for the Exeter Chiefs junior team until the age of 13. He was invited to a first-team match following his Commonwealth Games success in 2010, and successfully slotted a conversion through the posts during half-time.

Stands for Robbinsville High School. Loacted in New Jersey, RHS stands as a model for what high schools should be. The technology department is beast, the theatre deparment lives for success (and is always alive), the music deparment sounds like heaven, and the athletic deparment rocks out any sport they will try. Every person here paints the culture of this school by being funny, happy, awesome, and a complete fun and true friend. You don't have to live in the honors classes to be considered smart here because we know people are smart in all sorts of things, not just science and math, but in theatre, history, or being a leader. When anyone here decides to join a part of our school whether cross country, take AP classes, or do the robotics team, they know what that invovles. They aren't just doing it as a joke, they want to be dedicated to what they are doing, and are comitted to making the push for a victorious time. Our school colors are red and black, colors of leadership, honor, and culture. Not bluejay blue and vomit yellow like some other schools. The only bad part is that we're in New Jersey; one of the worst states. Therefore, we have to associate ourselves with New Jersey despite its infamous reputation. Darn you Jersey Shore, Christ Christie, sky-high taxes, trenton, camden, Altantic City, and Bayonne (if you know what that is). We have not been around that long, but what have made that time victorious and amazing.

Barnes & Noble and Samsung announced on Thursday they will team up to create a new co-branded Nook tablet in the hopes of breathing life into the struggling brand and better compete against Amazon's Kindle line.
The co-branded tablet will be called the Samsung Galaxy Tab 4 NOOK tablet and will feature a combination of the Samsung Galaxy tablet experience with that of the NOOK software.
"We are very excited and proud to partner with Samsung, a world-class technology and tablet leader, to create customized co-branded devices featuring our valuable NOOK reading experience and digital content catalog for Barnes & Noble customers nationwide," CEO Michael P. Huseby said. "Partnering with Samsung brings our customers great new products and evidences our commitment to our NOOK customers and growing our digital content business."
The first model, which will be a 7-inch version, is expected to hit Barnes & Noble physical and online stores beginning in August. No price for the tablet has been announced, but B&N noted that they will continue to sell their other NOOK models of eReaders.
According to Reuters, the struggling bookseller agreed to buy 1 million of the new tablets from Samsung over the first year of availability, but that can be stretched to a period of 15 months, if sales don't prove to be all that strong.

text: I was able to find images of your camera on eBay where one is being sold, and the red lever looks like it might be a timer. Most timers on mechanical cameras are ten-second, so after cocking the shutter and pressing the red lever, after about ten seconds elapses the shutter should fire. Keep us posted about it! I love TLRs and the Hongmei 5 looks like an interesting one.

Carmaker's Compliance with Federal Safety Regulations does not Bar Liability
Carmakers are not shielded from liability when they manufacture cars that comply with federal regulations, but are alleged to be defective under state tort law, the Supreme Court unanimously held on Feb. 23.
In Williamson v. Mazda Motor of America, the Supreme Court held that a California family can continue its lawsuit alleging that Mazda's installation of a lap belt in the middle-rear seat in the 1993 Mazda MPV, even though the seat belt technically complied with the federal standard at the time it was manufactured. Our Annapolis Maryland Injury Attorneys have substantial experience aiding injuring people who have been injured by defective products.
The Williamson family argued in California State Court that the defective seatbelt system, which involved just a lap belt in the second-row middle sea, caused the death of their daughter Thanh Williamson.
Mazda argued that its seatbelt system complied with the federal standard when the vehicle was manufactured in 1993. The Federal Standard at the time gave automakers the choice of a lap belt or a lap and shoulder harness seatbelt in the middle rear-suit. Mazda argued that the Federal standard essentially gave Mazda a choice.
The California Courts agreed with Mazda, holding the doctrine of preemption applied. Under a doctrine called pre-emption, when a state law conflicts with a federal law, the federal law usually wins out.

The combination of MR imaging and mammography can provide a cost-effective way of improving life expectancy for women who have an increased risk of breast cancer, according to a study authored by Mass General Imaging radiologist Janie M Lee.
Screening with mammography and breast MRI effective for women with high cancer risk
"For women at the highest risk of breast cancer, using both breast MRI and mammography together for screening will likely reduce their chances of dying from breast cancer and help them live longer, healthier lives," said Lee.

More material on the various branches of the Heath family is located on my sister site: AlliedFamilies
There were several Heath families in the early years of Virginia and Maryland. The first are the descendents of Thomas Heath who arrived in 1635. The second are the descendents of William Heath who arrived in 1650. This is the branch which intermarried with the Gee family of Southside Virginia. Later, there is the family of James Heath of Princess Anne County and another large family descended from John Heath of Middlesex County.
All of these branches had descendants who migrated across Virginia and into North Carolina. Also in North Carolina were unrelated Heath families, or families for which a connection has not been established. The process of elimination has required a thoughtful exploration of all potential contributors to the William Heath family that eventually settled in Darlington County, South Carolina. It should be noted here that a large Heath group settled in New England, and also in Pennsylvania. The latter group is very interesting in that they originated in either Cheshire or Staffordshire and were closely linked to the Janney family of those counties. They were Quakers.
I want to say a word about spelling. In examining the records it quickly becomes clear that census takers, county record keepers, and members of the family themselves, spelled the Heath name in a variety of ways. It was not uncommon to find Heath, Heeth, Heth, Hath, Hayth, Haythe, and even Haith and Heith used. Only one branch maintained this transition, the records went from a mix of Heath and Hayth, to Haythe by 1850.
This material is organized by family groups, and in some instances the branches lived close to each other. This is my best impression of the Southern Heath family up to the Jacksonian Era. I have not traced further, as it was not needed to make the family connection to William Heath of Darlington, South Carolina. His descendents are beautifully traced in the established genealogy, Heath Trails, by Frank Miller Richey
The Heaths of Kent
In 1635 John Heath, Willliam Short, William Edwards, and Thomas Dawson with others were transported to Virginia by William Spencer. The Captain of the ship, William Pierce, Esquire, John Heath, William Short, William Edwards, and Thomas Dawson received headrights in Lawnes Creek, Charles City County. It is claimed that this John Heath was the brother of Sir Robert Heath. Sir Robert was at one time Lord Proprietor of North Carolina, but his support for Charles I resulted in the loss of his property and position. He died in France in 1649. An examination of his family history does not substantiate a conection to the Heaths of Virginia.
Robert Heath married Thomasine Seyliard of Brasted, Kent and they had three children Joane, John, and Robert. John married 1st Ellen Richards, 2nd Elizabeth Casinghurst. Robert Heath II, married 1st Joane Foster, 2nd Ann Posyer in 1574.
Robert II and Anne Poyser had five children: Sir Robert, who married Margaret Miller of Tunbridge, Kent in 1600; Richard, who died as an infant; Anne born in 1578, Mathias born in 1582, and John, born in 1590. It is this John who is identified as the John Heath who immigrated to Virginia in 1635. As the youngest child, John would not have any substantial inheritance. That he would have been sent on a foreign adventure seems a reasonable possibility. The following year, in 1636, Robert Heath, age 30, arrived in Virginia. It is stated by some sources that this Robert was the fourth son of Sir Robert Heath however his given age precludes this.
Sir Robert Heath and Margaret Miller were the parents of Anne born in 1602; Mary born in 1608; Robert born in 1609 died in 1615; Sir Edward Heath born in 1612; Sir John Heath born in 1614; Elizabeth born in 1615; Reverend George Heath born in 1617; Robert Heath born in 1620, and Francis born in 1622. Sir John Heath eventually came into possession of the family estate and in 1662 became Attorney-General for the Duchy of Lancaster. He married Margaret Mennes.
John in 1635 and Robert in 1636 were likely from the Kent Heath branch, however no link has been shown between this Heath family and the families of either Thomas Heath of York County, and William Heath of Southside Virginia. Significantly the name Robert is not used in the first or second generations of either Virginia Heath family and neither John no Robert appears to have become established in Virginia after their arrival. They either died or returned to England.

August 15, 1648, a petition by William Allen and John Heath, merchants, who have equipped the Honor and the Prosperous Susan to transport many planters, with their wies, children and servants to Virginia, petition the House of Lords that their ships may be released from Embargo at Gravesend (Coldham, I:237)
In the records of the Exchequer Port Books it is recorded that in October, 1684, John Heath, master of the Olive Branch departed for Virginia. In June, 1685 he arrived from Virginia with a shipment of staves and hides. Again on August 19 it left Guernsey with a load of tobacco and then sailed outward in September for Virginia.
Edward Swann, son of William Swann, arrived in 1635. He lived, variously at Swann's Point and in England. In December 1664 he claimed as headrights Susannah Heath, whom he married. He founded a 1200 acre plantation in St. Mary's County, Maryland.

Cool news from Chris Kerstner's Foundation – Recently the Kerstner Foundation, in partnership with Hosted Fusion announced that they were offering free web hosting to nonprofits organizations.
A little under 3 weeks later they are elated to announce that over 45 organizations have applied, and all were approved!
All together, these nonprofits will now save close to $50,000 a year in web hosting bills; $50,000 that can now be spent on great charitable causes instead of wasted on some inanimate server in a data center.
Although Mr. Kerstner felt this was a great start, he had this to say:
"Only 45? That's not good enough for me. There are over 91,000 registered nonprofits in the U.S. alone; I can only venture to guess that many of them have websites they are paying to be hosted. There is no reason any of these nonprofits should be paying for this."
When asked how many freely hosted nonprofits it would take to satisfy him he responded:
"Ahhh, all of them! Whether they host freely with one of my companies or through other means, there is no reason even one of these nonprofits should be paying for website hosting. Especially when every dollar they save can then be spent on something much more important, like poverty, mosquito nets or clean drinking water."
If you are a nonprofit that wants free web hosting, apply here.

Now, after several retailers confirmed that Black Ops 2 sold millions of copies during its first day of availability, Activision has arrived with official figures, confirming that the game has managed to rake in over $500 million worldwide in the first 24 hours of its release.
"With first day sales of over half a billion dollars worldwide, we believe Call of Duty is the biggest entertainment launch of the year for the fourth year in a row," said Bobby Kotick, CEO, Activision Blizzard, in a statement.
"Life-to-date sales for the Call of Duty franchise have exceeded worldwide theatrical box office receipts for "Harry Potter" and "Star Wars," the two most successful movie franchises of all time."
According to Activision, over 16,000 midnight launches were organized on November 13 at retail stores worldwide, as the game became the most talked about thing on Twitter and other social networks.
"Call of Duty has become more than a product people buy, it's a brand people buy into. And every November we do more than just the launch of a game, we kick off an annual, unofficial but worldwide phenomenon called the Call of Duty season," said Eric Hirshberg, CEO of Activision Publishing.
"I want to thank our incredible team at Treyarch for making an amazing game, everyone at Activision for making this brand a force of nature and our retail partners for their unprecedented support of this franchise. But most importantly I want to thank our millions of fans for their continued support and loyalty and for making us better every day."
Activision didn't say just how many units were sold in the game's first day of availability and declined to say if it had become the newest fastest selling game in the series.
This profit will only increase on Sunday, November 18, when Black Ops 2 is released alongside the Nintendo Wii U in North America.
