New Years Resolutions: What happened to yours?
Wednesday, February 22, 2012
Today is Wednesday February 22nd, 2012. I just got done explaining this to a customer when it really hit me. It's almost the end of February! Didn't I have some resolutions to work on?
I remember making a vow to myself that I would take a look at those resolutions once every week to remind myself to work on those. I felt so proud of myself because I knew at the end of the year I would look back and feel proud about the changes I've made this last year. When was the last time I looked at those? I have no clue. Its been so long I can't remember.
What were those resolutions? I remember there being something about setting myself weekly mini goals to help keep me going. Little things I know I can do but I just need to work at more. Things that aren't hard but that make a difference. At the end of the week you look back on those goals and think. Yeah, I did that. You feel confident and like there are many more things that you can do. Those little goals you get done each week help motivate you, keep you motivated and make you feel good about yourself and what you can do. One baby step at a time.
So I've missed at least the whole past month. I haven't been working on my resolutions. Are you feeling the same? You know what I realize? It's never too late to start over. Or to jump back on that train. I'm going to pull out that list tonight and look back over it. Make a few little goals for the rest of the week. I'm going to type of those resolutions and post them everywhere. If I'm not looking at them, I'm not thinking about them and therefore I'm not doing them. So I challenge you. Go find those resolutions, remember those resolutions or create new ones. But make a commitment to get back on track. Put them up in places where you'll see them all the time. On the dash of your car, on your bathroom mirror, on the refrigerator. Every month is a new month, every week a new week, every day a new day and every hour is a new hour. You can start from this moment forward and if you forget or stop or slide backwards, thats ok. Just pick yourself up and start again. 2 steps forward, 1 step back.

Premenstrual syndrome ("PMS") can be caused by fluctuating hormones during the menstrual cycle. PMS refers to a wide variety of physical and emotional symptoms that typically start 1-2 weeks prior to the onset of the menstrual period. The symptoms vary from woman to woman and can be mild to severe. A woman can develop PMS with the onset of her first period. More often however, PMS begins in the pre-menopausal years, around the mid-thirties, and becomes increasingly severe as the years pass. As many as 75% of menstruating women experience some symptoms of PMS.Three to five percent of women experience premenstrual dysphoric disorder (PMDD) which is a severe, sometimes disabling form of PMS. The symptoms of PMDD are similar to those of PMS but are serious enough to interfere with work, social activities, and relationships.
The most common physical symptoms of PMS and PMDD are: tension, headache or backache, abdominal cramps, bloating, swelling of the ankles, feet and hands, weight gain, breast tenderness, acne flares, constipation, diarrhea, food cravings, nausea, and recurrent cold sores. Emotional symptoms of PMS include: anxiety, confusion or forgetfulness, difficulty concentrating, depression, anger, irritability, aggression, fatigue, poor judgment, negative self-image, and change or loss of sex drive.
The specific causes of PMS are not fully understood, but several factors may contribute to the condition, including: fluctuating levels of estrogen and progesterone, poor diet, vitamin deficiencies and stress. Deficiencies of the hormones (neurotransmitters) serotonin and norepinephrine are also thought to have a role in causing of PMS.
While many women simply assume there is little they can do to relieve these symptoms, Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy (BHRT) along with proper diet, vitamins, stress reduction and exercise can help return hormones to their natural balanced levels and reduce or eliminate many PMS symptoms.

Seven wolves legally harvested outside of Yellowstone National Park. Nevertheless, wildlife advocates say it struck a nerve.
"The idea that Yellowstone might somehow be a sanctuary for, at least, some wolf packs has probably been shattered by this," says Greater Yellowstone Coalition Communications Director Jeff Welsch.
Welsch says at least three of the wolves were part of some of the most viewed, most photographed packs in Yellowstone National Park- the Mollies, the Lamar Canyon and the Blacktail.
"It's never really occurred to a lot of us that these wolves that we're so accustomed to seeing in the park sometimes would wander out and it would make them so vulnerable," says Welsch.
He says it raises the question of how folks around the country and even the world will react, those who spend a lot of money to come to Yellowstone expecting to see wolves.
"We want to avoid the possibility that Montana and Wyoming get a black eye nationally and internationally for their management," says Welsch.
That's why Welsch hopes the state will consider a buffer zone around the park where hunting is not allowed and think twice about a trapping season in the units around Yellowstone.
But management officials say they've heard this argument before.
Folks with Fish, Wildlife and Parks say once an animal leaves the park, if it's a huntable species, it's fair game, whether it's an elk, a deer or a wolf.
"They are wild when they're in Yellowstone and they're wild while they're in Montana. If they were fenced into Yellowstone, they would not be wild animals," says Fish Wildlife and Parks Region Three Education Manager Andrea Jones.
Jones says it's also legal for hunters to call wolves, like bugling for elk. If they cross park boundaries, a hunter can shoot them, collared or not.
"We do not consider them by names or by numbers...As a hunter you might prefer not to take a collared wolf because you know that it's part of that research but, at the same time, a wolf can have fur around its neck and if it's sitting down or if it's in a certain way, you might not be able to see it. It's much like, you might choose not to shoot a doe that has a calf, if you can help it," says Jones.
So far, hunters have harvested 61 wolves in Montana, including two in District 316, the one outside of Yellowstone. It has a quota of three wolves.
Wildlife management officials tell us, if wildlife advocates want to make suggestions on hunting around the park, they'll have to bring a proposal to the FWP commission, which will have to be reviewed at the next meeting December 20th.

DemoCamp Halifax Brings Start-Ups and Investors Together
DemoCamp Halifax was a huge success. Presented by Titanfile (previous articles here and here), the event sold out quickly. The event filled a hole in the Atlantic tech community, bringing investors and local start-ups together in one room. The pitches were separated by guest speakers; established local business-people presenting on their start-up experiences.
Former-Olympian/current business-woman Julia Rivard was a Keynote speaker, discussing how her drive to succeed in sports lead to tough business chops. Her company, Sheepdog Inc. is Google's top Canadian partner for Google Document migration. Julia has been/is involved with many ventures, including Norex and DynamicHosting.
The latter part of the event featured Monica Goyle, creater of MyLegalBriefcase.com, as keynote speaker. Entitled "Bootstrapping Your Company", Monica discussed focus and budget; how some ideas are not easy to secure funding for, and therefore personal drive needs to come before income. Drawing on years of first-hand experience with start-up companies, Monica suggested that development should start regardless of funding, and that a prototype can then be easier to fund than ideas.
Pixelbang (Nick Budden) – Pixelbang is an amateur sports video site, featuring simple user submission, so that independent videos can be uploaded by the community.
GistOf (Sreejata Catterjee) – GistOf is a leads and contacts search engine for companies. Featuring geo-targeted real-time results, users are able to see results cumulated from many sources (Twitter, ___, ___, etc.).
Yellowee (Amber Quartermain) – Providing business reviews, keyword searching, and site statistics, Yellowee allows businesses to provide their information to prospective customers in an efficient way. Yellowee also lets business respond to reviewers, addressing their concerns and getting advice on improving their experience. An iPhone app should be available soon.
PitchPerfect (Kyle Racki of Headspace Design) – PitchPerfect helps users with all aspects of creating and managing product or service pitches. PitchPerfect allows businesses to create custom pitch proposals, and includes win, loss, and expense tracking and statistics.
SXPD (Duke Mighten) – SXPD is a novel concept; a comic book/game hybrid. Created for immersive interaction on mobile platforms, the ~48-page comic book will contain 4-5 game sections. Intended to be a series, the reader is awarded points for reading the text segments. These points can then be used to upgrade vehicles and weapons in the game segments.
Compilr (Tim Speed) – Compilr is a browser-based interactive development environment (IDE). Supporting a variety of programming languages, Compilr allows users to write, compile, and run their code. Go here for previous coverage of Compilr.
Equals6 (Andy Osbourne) – Equals6 is a professional social network for student. As Facebook is too social a network and LinkedIn does not meet the needs of students with little business experience, Equals6 allows students to build their professional profile while networking with business professionals. The relationships created by Equals6 should then be portable to the business community when graduated and looking for employment.
SimplyCast (Saeed El-Darahali) – SimplyCast is an all-in-one business marketing tool. Starting out a little over two years ago, SimplyCast have grown their services to include everything from website to social media management.
2nd Act Innovations/4Sight (Peter Hickey) – Searching for files and data loses companies thousands of dollars per year… per employee. 4Sight uses state-of-the-art organization and indexing tools to make large amounts of data searchable.
Brightseeds (Ben Stawitz) – A young entrepreneur himself, Ben found it difficult to meet other entrepreneurs to network and share ideas, knowledge, and experience. Brightseeds was founded in response to this need; a social network for Atlantic Canadian Youth Entrepreneurs ages 18-35.

About Fridae
Our Mission
Fridae is a diversified media and services company implementing an integrated strategy that covers the Internet, Publishing and Events. Founded with a mission to "Empower Gay Asia," Fridae provides a platform that bridges cultures, transcends borders, and unites the diverse groups to form Asia's largest gay and lesbian community. As the gay media leader in Asia, Fridae provides unparalleled reach to the valuable, yet diverse and hard to reach gay and lesbian communities in the region.
Fridae's innovative and industry-leading online portal leverages the distribution power and reach of the Internet to provide a potent mix of Content, Community and Commerce to over 500,000 visitors each month. Prior to 2007, Fridae Events included parties such as NATION (named one of the Top 10 Gay Events in the World by DNA Magazine) and SNOWBALL, offering companies invaluable offline exposure and marketing opportunities.
Fridae uses its expertise to offer forward-looking companies online advertising and branding as well as offline strategies and direct marketing programs.
Through our innovative media channels and world-class events, Fridae is building Asia's largest gay & lesbian community - united in diversity, and transcending geographical borders.

Fridae seeks to be gay Asia's leading media & social networking website; the business community's primary conduit to the Asian gay community; and a respected voice in our advocacy for equality and freedom of choice.
"Fridae" is inspired by "Friday" from Daniel Defoe's novel Robinson Crusoe.
Fridae's editorial mission is to provide accurate, fair and quality reporting and analysis of news and current affairs concerning LGBT Asia and beyond. It is also our aim to inspire and challenge readers to see things differently, individually and collectively as part of the various communities they belong to; and to drive a dialogue about important LGBT-related issues of the day which would in turn lead to action and social change.
While we cover wide geographical area, we are determinedly local as we keep our noses to the ground, and are in constant dialogue with the communities we serve. Where voices of LGBT communities in Asia are suppressed by society and mainstream media outlets, Fridae serves as a platform for discourse; and allows LGBT voices to be heard and for inspirational stories and positive examples of community action, activism and milestones to be shared.

Dancing With The Stars on ABC inches closer to the mirror ball trophy tonight as one more couple will be eliminated as we head into the finale next week.

On November 16 Annie Lennox releases her sixth solo album and first-ever holiday recording, A Christmas Cornucopia which is a stunning collection of new and inspired interpretations of eleven traditional festive songs.
We'll also get a rocking performance by Latin artist Enrique Iglesias of his smash international hit single, "I Like It," from his newest album Euphoria.

Finally we will see the final "Macy's Stars of Dance" performance of the season – the Macy's Design-a-Dance will feature the song, dance style and pro dancers selected by voters. For the first time, viewers this season also had the chance to submit concept design entries for the performance, which fans also voted for on abc.com.

After nearly five years, the Pharcyde producer J-Swift returns to music with his latest single "I'll Do Mine," featuring St. Imey of the Wascal on the mic. The song has been released through One Cell Records and is featured in the recent film 1 More Hit, a documentary chronicling Swift's addiction to drugs and his homelessness. Although sobriety is still a battle, J is keeping his spirits up and hopes that his music and the film will help to "...unite all the drug users" in their struggles against substance abuse.
"You can't even imagine trying to save data when you're homeless," he jokes. "But I'm proud of the film though. I hope it can be a lesson to others."
J-Swift will also be unleashing his rap alter ego Negro Kanevo! next year with his long-awaited return LP.
In other news, 2DopeBoyz has reported that Demigodz/Army of the Pharoahs rappper Celph Titled is teaming up with D.I.T.C. producer Buckwild for the album Nineteen Ninety Now.

The eternal return of Nancy Botwin
|Entertainment - Television
|Friday, 26 November 2010 20:04
Two seasons ago that left Agrestic Botwin seeking a new life, a way out of the alley where they had gone, but most who try the History always repeats itself and must flee. And as expected, the sixth season of Weeds has been no exception and is that Nancy is doomed to repeat their mistakes over and over again.
This season began with Nancy and company having to flee in haste with the murder of Pilar Zuarzo. As usual, thanks to the resilience of Nancy quickly (perhaps too) manage to escape the influence of Esteban area thanks to their new identities. And with Newman on stage for a moment everything seemed to return to the beginning of the series together as a family wheeling and dealing again in overtime to survive.
But then, as much as we see Nancy Grace hiciese maiden (and with a wig impossible), a frustrated chef Andy, Silas and Shane buttons babysit (or single parent, as now), this could not last because Stephen is a powerful guy and extremely dangerous, and would not remain with folded arms watching the murderer escapes from his sister taking their child. So it was no surprise when the new front collapsed with the reappearance of Ignacio and Cesar although, again, manage to escape thanks to Shane psychopath vein.
Then came several episodes that did nothing more than beating around the bush, with family strolling back and forth until you return to the town of Nancy, Dearborn (interesting name), where he will be caught again, how could it be otherwise. It is a very quick and superficial overview but show that this sixth season has been a continuous flight, always forward but always returning to the same dead end. The end seemed to go down that same road but luckily, and as usual, managed to surprise us with a twist of the plot.
If we had asked at the beginning of the season how we thought that would end many of us would have answered that Nancy reunited with Stephen but that was how it ended the penultimate episode, so what else could happen? Nancy was delivered as sacrifice and love for his family. And for once, that sacrifice does not involve the sacrifice of others and that each time they had to rush the rest of the family had to leave everything as well (Andy leaves Audra and chairs left his college career and his new acquaintance biological father .) Anyway, I doubt that his family moved to Copenhagen without further because the link is too strong so that Nancy can be sure to be quiet because family visits to prison and why not, some vis a vis.
We'll see what the consequences will surrender to the FBI but it is clear that the plot has taken a decisive turn and this time there seems to be going back. Does it? The truth is that I have not clear but the fact that the very creator of the series, Jenji Kohan, suggest that the seventh may be the last season makes me suspect that perhaps history is not repeated. It was fun while it lasted but be aware that history can not be stretched ever so maybe it's time to stop. What you you think? What do you think of this sixth season? Above all, do you think that the seventh should be your last season?

Lauderdale County, Miss. Dedication, service, excellence and a love for teaching are all great qualities in a teacher. This year no one exemplified that more than West Lauderdale Middle School teacher Melissa Pogue. She is Lauderdale County Schools' Teacher of the Year.
Pogue's peers as well as a selection committee were the deciding factor in her receiving the award. The 16-year veteran says she wants her students to excel in life, as well as academics.
"Someone recognizes the hard work that we put into being teachers," said Pogue, who teaches 7th grade math. "It's not what oftentimes people consider to be an 8 to 3 job."
Pogue says she lives by the motto, Learners Today, Leaders Tomorrow.
"It is such a privilege to work with the teachers and the staff of West Lauderdale Middle School and I just couldn't be more honored," Pogue said.
A Mississippi Teacher of the Year winner will be named Apr. 11 in Jackson from a field of four finalists. The winner receives $5,000.

text: EU votes to tighten data protection for digital age Politics 12 March 14 by Katie Collins Shutterstock The European Parliament has voted in favour of radical data protection reform, designed to ensure people have more effective control over their personal data and make it easier for businesses to operate and innovate within the EU Single Market.The vote was based on reports drawn up by two MEPs, Jan-Philipp Albrecht and Dimitrios Droutsas following a Commission proposal in January 2012 that suggested the largest overhaul to data protection laws since the Data Protection Directive was drawn up in 1995, in order to make them relevant in the digital age.Included in the reforms are the right to be forgotten, meaning that if there are no legitimate grounds for retaining your data, it must be deleted. This is designed to empower individuals and restore their confidence in the way their data will be handled, the EU is keen to emphasise.There is also an emphasis on individuals having more control over their own data, including being able to access it more easily in order to move it between service providers. They must also give explicit consent before companies are allowed to process it in the first place and must be informed "without undue delay" about data breaches that could adversely affect them.Data protection safeguards will have to be built into all products and service from the very earliest stages in their development and for services like social networks, privacy settings will be required to be turned on by default."Strong data protection rules must be Europe's trade mark," said Vice-President Viviane Reding, the EU's Justice Commissioner in a statement. "Following the US data spying scandals, data protection is more than ever a competitive advantage."According to the Commission, the data protection reforms will help the EU realise the full potential of the value of European citizens' data, which is estimated to grow to almost one trillion euros annually by 2020. There are three central changes within the reforms to make sure this happens.Firstly they will establish a pan-European data protection law instead of the current "inconsistent patchwork" of current laws covering different companies. For businesses operating within the EU, this means they will only have one set of laws to negotiate when they trade internationally with other EU states.In the same vein, another of the changes will introduce a single supervisory authority to regulate all businesses across the EU, rather than them having to be supervised by several of the 28 national authorities. This should make it easier and cheaper for businesses to trade internationally.Perhaps the biggest of the three changes is that all companies, whether or not they are based in the EU, will all have to adhere to the same rules. Currently countries within the EU are subject to stricter rules than their external competitors, but in future when non-EU countries want to do business within the Single Market they will have to do so on a level playing field. Data protection authorities will be able to fine companies that do not comply up to 2 percent of their annual turnover.Following the vote today, the European Parliament's position on the matter is set firmly in stone, although to become law the regulation will have to be adopted by the Council of Ministers using the famously tricky-to-navigate co-decision procedure. "The message the European Parliament is sending is unequivocal: This reform is a necessity, and now it is irreversible. Europe's directly elected parliamentarians have listened to European citizens and European businesses and, with this vote, have made clear that we need a uniform and strong European data protection law, which will make life easier for business and strengthen the protection of our citizens," said Reding.

Gastrointestinal: The most common side effects of ethionamide are gastrointestinal disturbances including nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, abdominal pain, excessive salivation, metallic taste, stomatitis, anorexia and weight loss. Adverse gastrointestinal effects appear to be dose related, with approximately 50% of patients unable to tolerate 1 gm as a single dose. Gastrointestinal effects may be minimized by decreasing dosage, by changing the time of drug administration, or by the concurrent administration of an antiemetic agent.
Nervous System: Psychotic disturbances (including mental depression), drowsiness, dizziness, restlessness, headache, and postural hypotension have been reported with ethionamide. Rare reports of peripheral neuritis, optic neuritis, diplopia, blurred vision, and a pellagra-like syndrome also have been reported. Concurrent administration of pyridoxine has been recommended to prevent or relieve neurotoxic effects.
Hepatic: Transient increases in serum bilirubin, SGOT, SGPT; Hepatitis (with or without jaundice).
Other: Hypersensitivity reactions including rash, photosensitivity, thrombocytopenia and purpura have been reported rarely. Hypoglycemia, hypothyroidism, gynecomastia, impotence, and acne also have occurred. The management of patients with diabetes mellitus may become more difficult in those receiving ethionamide.
Read the Trecator (ethionamide tablets) Side Effects Center for a complete guide to possible side effects
Trecator (ethionamide tablets) has been found to temporarily raise serum concentrations of isoniazid. Trecator (ethionamide tablets) may potentiate the adverse effects of other antituberculous drugs administered concomitantly. In particular, convulsions have been reported when ethionamide is administered with cycloserine and special care should be taken when the treatment regimen includes both of these drugs. Excessive ethanol ingestion should be avoided because a psychotic reaction has been reported.

Rethinking the meaning of various phrases in light of "aiki"

Re: Rethinking the meaning of various phrases in light of "aiki"
O Sensei: It only seems to be mystical. In Aikido we utilize the power of the opponent completely. So the more power the opponent uses, the easier it is for you.
B: Then, in that sense, there is Aiki in Judo, too, since in Judo you synchronize yourself with the rhythm of your opponent. If he pulls, you push; if he pushes, you pull. You move him according to this principle and make him lose his balance and then apply your technique.
O Sensei: In Aikido, there is absolutely no attack. To attack means that the spirit has already lost. We adhere to the principle of absolute nonresistance, that is to say, we do not oppose the attacker. Thus, there is no opponent in Aikido. The victory in Aikido is masakatsu and agatsu; since you win over everything in accordance with the mission of heaven, you possess absolute strength.
B: Does that mean ~o no sen? (This term refers to a late response to an attack.)
O Sensei: Absolutely not. It is not a question of either sensen no sen or sen no sen. If I were to try to verbalize it I would say that you control your opponent without trying to control him. That is, the state of continuous victory. There isn't any question of winning over or losing to an opponent. In this sense, there is no opponent in Aikido. Even if you have an opponent, he becomes a part of you, a partner you control only.
This whole section from the other thread reminded me very strongly of the IS stuff, but I was staying out of trouble so I didn't say so there.
No attack; "win over everything in accordance with the mission of heaven"--harmonize aiki in yourself first; then when you meet the attack you meet it without resistance or opposition because then you would no longer be harmonized with yourself. We practice
You are in a state of continuous victory because your own centered body continually controls yourself and uke. You don't have to fight him because you're controlling him. I have to work at it to come up with different words than O-Sensei already used.

Names for products of the pyrotechnic industry in those explosion-dangerous materials or material mixtures are contained. Depending upon a use goal are to be produced thereby light, sound, smoke, nebula, heating, pressure or movement effects. One differentiates accordingly:
Main parts are oxidizing agents like e.g. Nitrate, chlorates and Perchlorate, fuels such as charcoal, sulfur, aluminum, magnesium, zinc, sulfur, phosphorus and many other materials) as well as auxiliary materials for the achievement of the desired effects. As igniting mixtures igniter cords, serve rubbing heads, for military purposes also electrical or break igniter-militarily used products are fire weapons, nebula weapons, smoke candles and flares.
Fireworks rockets contain propellant charges from black powders and the effect fillings, which consist of flares, sometimes also of bang and whistling sets. The climbing height is limited with fireworks rockets on 100 m to 200 m.
In small fire works black powder in firm casing is usually dammed. The in such a way specified consist of a whistling propellant with locking relatively weak bang set.
Mixtures from oxidizers and metallic powders calls one lightning-corrodes or also if necessary lightning bang set (UC), if they are intended primarily for the production of a bang. As the name already says, explodes UC with a bright flash and a loud bang under enormous delivery of energy, whereby some lightning-corrodes also into detonation change can. A further substantial characteristic of these explosives is it, without exploding insulation, which depends on the kind and the composition of the mixture. This characteristic makes it very interesting for pyrotechnics, since one can produce a often louder bang with small quantities, than is possible with black powders. Almost exclusively the mixture from Kaliumperchlorat and very purify-hasty aluminum powder (Aluminiumpyroschliff/Dark Pyro aluminum), applied in pyrotechnics, explodes already in small quantity openly ignited with a deafening bang. This characteristic makes the handling of UC dangerously, particularly since the mixture reacts sensitively to static loading. To find this mixture is in bird fright cartridges and Salutbomben in that largeammunition technician-egg-far the so-called Flashmischungen in small Bombetten as Zerlegerladung is used, whereby these frequently also of barium nitrate, sulfur and high-fine aluminum powder to then consist.
Whistling sets contain usually chlorates or Perchlorate as oxidizing agents as well as salts of organic acids. Noise results not from form of the outlet separates by reciprocating pulsating burn-up in open Except in rockets whistling sets use find in air-hay-learn.
In Knallerbsen Silberfulminat, a salt of fulminic acid is used. In a Knallerbse at the most 25 mg are contained, which are in-wound with a small quantity quartz sand in silk paper. The quartz sand lends on the one hand the necessary weight to the Knallerbse, secondly releases it with the impact hard document by crushing the Fulminatkristalle the explosion. The material cannot be manufactured in very large quantities, since it can be brought also at the dead weight of the crystals to the explosion. Also small friction or vibration can lead to the explosion. Also damp Silberfulminat is explosive.
As pyrotechnic products for technical purposes are mentioned: Gas-corrode for filling Airbags or driving out fire-ex. powder; Heating sets for welding plastics or weld from steel (Thermit); Smoke and/or smoldering sets of appropriate composition can be used to the Begasen by vermin; in the start time of the photography flashlight was produced by burning magnesium.
Legal handling, in addition belong manufacturing, working on, processing, using, spending, transport and leaving within business premises, recovering and destroying; traffic (trade) and the import are regulated due to the possible endangerment in the explosive right.

There's a reason why baseball has been called our national pastime for decades. It's as American as hot dogs and apple pie. It's been a summer tradition in big cities and little towns across the U.S.A. for generations. It's a great team sport, and it's fun.
Baseball is by no means a dangerous sport. But it can present a very real risk of injuries from things like wild pitches, batted balls, and collisions in the field.
At the high-school level, some pitchers can throw fastballs that reach 80-plus miles per hour, speedy enough to cause painful welts, broken bones, even concussions. Excessive pitching and improper throwing mechanics can lead to major league arm problems, and base runners and fielders frequently collide while running at top speed.
As with all sports, wearing and using the right gear can go a long way toward preventing injuries. The amount of equipment required for baseball isn't on a par with football or hockey, but it is every bit as important. Players need to be sure they always have all the gear required by their league.
Most leagues will insist on the following:
Base paths are one of the most common places injuries happen. This is especially true when you slide into a traditional stationary base, which puts a rigid obstacle in your path as you slide. Sliding into a fixed base can result in foot, ankle, and lower-leg injuries.
As a result, doctors have started recommending that leagues install breakaway bases in all of their playing fields. These bases, which snap onto grommets on an anchored rubber mat, can be dislodged when a runner slides into one, lessening the chances that a base runner will get injured. During the course of normal base-running, the base is stable and does not detach.
Ideally, you should get plenty of exercise before the season begins and be in the best shape possible before you swing a bat for the first time. This will not only lower your risk of injury, it will also make you a better ballplayer. Be sure to warm up and stretch before a baseball game as you would for any other sport, but remember that in baseball, you have to pay particular attention to your throwing arm. Most arms require plenty of warm-up before they can safely attempt a long, hard throw.
Different people have different preferences when it comes to warming up their arms. Some like to make short throws, while others prefer to start with long, easy tosses. Regardless of how you choose to warm up your arm, the idea is to start with soft throws meant to stretch your muscles and loosen up your joints. As your arm warms up, gradually increase the intensity of your throws until you are throwing as you would during a game situation.
Make sure that all bats, balls, and other equipment used during warm-ups are safely put away before play begins, and always inspect the playing field for holes and debris, especially broken glass.
When you're out in the field, you're going to want to go full speed after every ball hit your way. The problem is that so will your teammates. With your attention focused on the ball, it's easy to lose track of where people are, and painful collisions can and do occur.
Make sure that if there is any doubt as to who should field a ball, one player calls for it as loudly as he or she can to let other players know to back away. Practice doing this with your teammates so you get used to listening for each other's voices.
When you're batting, it's important to stand confidently in the batter's box and not be afraid of the ball. That being said, baseballs are hard objects. Getting hit with a pitch hurts. You'll get a free base if you get plunked, but it probably won't be worth the pain. Know how to safely get out of the way if a pitch is headed toward you. The best way to do this is to duck and turn away from the pitcher, exposing your back and rear end to the pitch instead of your face and midsection.
On the base paths, practice running the bases with your head up, looking out for other players and batted balls, and know how to slide correctly. Many leagues make it illegal for kids to slide headfirst, as this can lead to head injuries and facial cuts.
Pitching, particularly for adolescent arms that are still growing, puts an enormous amount of strain on joints and tendons. Injuries to wrists, elbows, rotator cuffs, ligaments, and tendons can result from excessive pitching but can be largely avoided if players and coaches follow a few simple guidelines:
These tips should help you have a great time playing America's pastime. Picture yourself under the lights at Yankee stadium, hitting a home run to win game 7 of the World Series.

After the recent heavy snow, icy conditions and severe frosts, strengthening easterly winds will make it feel bitterly cold as we head through the weekend.
Richard Young, Chief Forecaster at the Met Office says: "Temperatures will struggle to rise above freezing across most of the country by day, with severe and penetrating frosts at night. Strong east to north-easterly winds will pick up across many areas later Friday, making it feel bitterly cold. Drifting snow will become an additional hazard over the weekend."
At these times Met Office health forecasting services are at their most useful, helping people suffering from long term conditions such as Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) stay healthy and out of hospital.
The Department of Health is urging people in all areas of the country to protect themselves against the risks faced during this period of cold weather. This is particularly important for older people, families with young children and people with disabilities or long-term health conditions.
Public Health Minister Gillian Merron says: "Cold weather is especially dangerous for older people or those with serious illnesses.
"The Government's 'Keep Warm Keep Well' campaign gives important advice to older people on how to stay fit and healthy through the winter. "Keep warm keep well" leaflets are available online at www.nhs.uk and in local GP's surgeries, pharmacies or council offices."
The freezing conditions are forecast to continue until at least the middle of the month with further snowfall expected, especially in the south and east.

OJ Simpson testifies in bid for new Vegas trial
LAS VEGAS His leg shackles rattling as he shuffled to and from the witness stand, O.J. Simpson made his own case Wednesday for a new trial on armed robbery charges with testimony that he relied on the advice of his trusted attorney when he tried to reclaim mementos from his football glory days.
"It was my stuff. I followed what I thought was the law," the 65-year-old former NFL star and actor said. "My lawyer told me I couldn't break into a guy's room. I didn't break into anybody's room. I didn't try to muscle the guys. The guys had my stuff, even though they claimed they didn't steal it."
Simpson said he took the advice of his longtime former lawyer, Yale Galanter, and didn't testify in his Las Vegas trial at which he was convicted in 2008 of armed robbery, kidnapping and other charges and sentenced to nine to 33 years in prison.
His fall from long-ago fame and fortune was on display as a grayer, bulkier Simpson made his way through the courtroom. The Heisman Trophy college running back and NFL record-setter once made TV commercials running through airports. As Nevada prison inmate No. 1027820, he's been handcuffed and chained at the ankles during a hearing on his claim that he was poorly represented by his attorney during the trial.
His physician, Henry Johnson, watched and said Simpson appeared to be in good health.
H. Leon Simon, attorney for the state, conducted a brief cross-examination that focused on some of the same details Simpson attorney Patricia Palm raised about advice Simpson received from his trial lawyers, Galanter and co-counsel Gabriel Grasso.
"Mr. Galanter advised me not to testify," Simpson reiterated.
"You made a decision to follow Mr. Galanter's advice, rather than Mr. Grasso's, and not testify?" Simon asked.
"Yes," Simpson said.
Simpson did acknowledge that he didn't have a legal right to take some things from the Palace Station hotel room where he and five men confronted two sports memorabilia dealers - including baseballs signed by Pete Rose and Duke Snyder and lithographs of football great Joe Montana. Simpson said he thought those items would be returned later. He said he didn't remember taking a hat from one of the dealers.
Earlier, under detailed questioning by Palm, Simpson seemed to describe every minute of a weekend that began with plans for a friend's wedding and ended with him under arrest.
He said he knew the memorabilia dealers, had no fear of them and certainly didn't need guns.
"There was no talk of guns at all," he said. Simpson declared he never even saw guns during the confrontation.
During the trial, two former co-defendants who testified for the prosecution said they had guns.
Simpson's bid for freedom hinges on showing that Galanter had conflicted interests and gave him bad trial and appellate advice.
Galanter, of Miami, is due to testify Friday. He has declined comment ahead of that appearance.
"He was my guy," Simpson said of his long friendship and professional relationship with Galanter.
He said Galanter told him he was within his legal rights to take back possessions as long as there was no violence or trespassing.
Grasso has said it was Galanter who convinced Simpson not to testify.
While the trial prosecutor testified earlier that there were preliminary discussions with Galanter about a plea bargain, Simpson testified he was never told a bargain was under consideration and that he did not remember any offer being given to him at trial.
Asked by Palm if he knew he could have gotten as little as 30 months in prison if he pleaded guilty to robbery, Simpson said no, and that he would have considered it if he had known.

AMES, Iowa - The Iowa State soccer team concludes its regular season Friday at a Missouri in a match that could have huge Big 12 Championship ramifications. The 6:30 p.m. CDT match at Audrey J. Walton Soccer Field will likely play a significant role in deciding the final team to earn a berth to the Big 12 Championship. Iowa State and Oklahoma are currently tied for the final bid to the tournament, with Oklahoma holding the tie-breaker with a victory over the Cyclones on Oct. 14. An Iowa State victory over Missouri and Oklahoma either losing or drawing at Kansas will see the Cyclones into the Big 12 Championship. If Iowa State ties Missouri, the Cyclones would need the Sooners to lose at Kansas. No scenario exists for Iowa State to advance if the Cyclones lose or the Sooners win.

Despite some hopeful signs of reform and restraint on executive compensation in the Northwest, we are outliers as usual.
According to the Economic Policy Institute, the average compensation for a chief executive last year was $15.2 million, up 21.7 percent from 2010.
From 1978 to 2013, that pay rose an astonishing 937 percent, adjusted for inflation. The typical worker saw a raise of only 10.2 percent.
CEO comp also rose double the increase in the stock market. It is climbing even relative to the income of the 0.01 percent of the top earners.

Most Read Stories
Last year, the CEO-to-worker compensation ratio was nearly 296-to-1. Although below the peak of 383.4-to-1 posted in 2000, consider that the ratio was only 20-to-1 in 1965 and 29.9-to-1 in 1978.
Not coincidentally, the American middle class was at its strongest and most secure in the 1960s and 1970s.
No wonder star economist Thomas Piketty cites the astounding rise in executive compensation as a major driver of widening inequality.
The nonbinding "Say on Pay" reform that made Seattle's Expeditors International rethink its executive comp has made little difference in most cases.
According to the executive-comp consultancy Steven Hall & Partners, 3,363 companies held Say on Pay votes last year. But an "against" vote won in only 73. At the 71 percent of companies where a "for" vote triumphed, the victory margin was 90 percent or more.
It is interesting that in the age where jobs are increasingly seen as commodities that can be slashed, sent offshore for cheaper labor, interchanged or automated, only the top executives are considered indispensable.
One paper by researchers in Australia, France and the United States implies that shareholders have come to value CEOs more than ever. It doesn't answer the question of why they believe this.
A big reason, surely, is the rise in the late 1980s of the cult of the star chief executive.
In the real world, CEOs can be quite competent and occasionally visionary (Bill Gates, Steve Jobs, Jeff Bezos). But they depend upon many lower-level employees to execute with great skill.
Other CEOs can be bumblers and even criminals. (Dennis Kozlowski of Tyco comes to mind.) Yet they have ridden the wave of skyrocketing executive pay anyway.
In 2008, before Washington Mutual became the largest banking failure in American history, ousted Chief Executive Kerry Killinger received $25.1 million in compensation.
Indeed, in the case of Killinger and many others, pay was enhanced by risk taking, even to the point of putting the company in danger of imploding.
Such are the perverse incentives in how pay at the top is decided.
Some of the worst abuses of good ol' boys and friends of the CEO deciding his or her comp have been sanded away. But plenty of rough edges remain. Doing well in too many cases means keeping the stock price rising by any means. That often collides with doing right by stakeholders such as employees and communities.
For example, a chief executive will be richly rewarded for steering the company into a merger. Shareholders will benefit, too, at least in the short term. But hundreds or thousands of jobs can be lost. Cities and towns can lose their economic crown jewels.
Another big change is the meaning of "shareholder." Once, it meant ownership with responsibility, a long-term commitment to see the company thrive. Since the 1980s, it has become more of a short stopover by big institutional investors seeking a quick payoff.
Also, even with more independent directors on boards and compensation committees, these people are almost always from the same class as the CEO. They all see the world the same way.
A union member as a director is rare. It would be amazing to see Starbucks appoint a barista to its board. If that were the case, Howard Schultz might not make, according to the AFL-CIO's Executive Pay Watch, 489 times the average worker's pay.
There are opportunity costs to these bloated salaries: jobs that aren't created, productive investments that aren't made, and research that is curtailed among them.
Perhaps the biggest cost is impossible to calculate. The one where much of big business became unmoored from the notion of a common good. In the 1960s, it would have been unseemly for a big boss to make 296 times more than his workers.
Today, it's a baseline.

Outgoing PM's 'stunning revelations' have already been uttered decades ago

Ehud Olmert obviously has a very high opinion of himself. Figures such as David Ben-Gurion, Pinchas Sapir, Uri Avneri, Yossi Sarid, and Yitzhak Rabin
(and this is a very partial list) are not considered leaders in the book of Olmert the leader. Their views and words were apparently never formulated or uttered. In any case, Olmert heard nothing.

Charter school tackles opera
DAVIDSON – Fifth-graders at Community School of Davidson composed every note, scripted each word and lyric, created every prop and backdrop to this year's opera.
They will give eight performances through March 27.
The opera is based on Ellen Levine's book "Henry's Freedom Box," about a slave who escapes to freedom by mailing himself in a small box to Pennsylvania. His journey lasted more than 27 hours and 250 miles.
"The opera really is a culminating event of what students have learned K-5 and they couldn't do it without the foundation they have been given," music instructor Debbie Shutt said. "When I look at what we do at each grade level through our curriculum and performances, I see steps they are taking towards getting ready for the creation and performance of the opera at the end of fifth grade."
Fifth-grade teachers Erica Whitley, Kristina Losey, Peyton Randolph and Beth Garren, along with art instructor Taisia Mills, helped students with logistics.
Parent Chris Lundsten coordinated the period costumes.
Students help peer facing eviction
HUNTERSVILE – When Huntersville Elementary fifth-graders Benjamin Lucier, Charles Powell and Max Crawford heard that a classmate faced eviction days before Christmas, they talked to their families about ways they could help.
They bought and collected items for an overnight bag including socks, books, a stuffed animal and a pair of gently used shoes, along with several wrapped presents.
They were among nine other CMS students recognized for selfish acts in the Do The Right Thing ceremony March 18 at the NASCAR Hall of Fame.
Jazz performers win awards
ROCK HILL, S.C. – The Bailey Middle School Jazz Band played for clinician Will Campbell at Northwestern High School's Jazz Discovery Festival on March 1.
James Shaul won three awards: Outstanding Musicianship, Outstanding Soloist and Best Overall Middle School Jazz Soloist. Caitlyn Haponik and Stephanie Kapit also won Outstanding Musicianship.
Band gets highest rating
WINGATE – The Bailey Middle School seventh and eighth grade band earned superior ratings at the South Central District Music Performance Adjudication on March 14 at Wingate University.
Band members include Renee Alquiza, Alexander Arias, Zachary Borkowski, Parker Brown, Brooke Cardwell, Jordan Carter, Sabrina Dyer, Drew Elliott, Graeme Elrod, Jack Fread, Alene Gipson, Jacob Gulan, Veronika Hartong, Morgan Hoehaver, Andrew Hord, Mai Johnson, Kiana Jung, Stephanie Kapit, Ethan King, Austin Koppenhofer, Eliza Lagua, T. J. Legg, Wesley Marshall, Nathan Marti, Jennifer McHenry, Connor Merson, Emily Modrow, Colin Myers, Ellen Pruss, A. J. Ranson, Aydin Roberts, Evie Rosseel, Cameron Simma, Trey Snyder, Kareem Tiwari, Madi Treon, Mallory Vance, Christopher Wunder, Alexis Yarbrough, and Ben Ziegler.
Schools place in Science Olympiad
CHARLOTTE – Superintendent Heath Morrison gave kudos to North Mecklenburg High and J.M. Alexander Middle in his weekly newsletter for placing in the Regional Science Olympiad at UNC Charlotte.
North Mecklenburg placed third in the high school division. Alexander placed third in the middle school division. Both will compete next month in Raleigh.

Abbott attacks to solo win, Giro race lead
- By VeloNews.com
- Published Jul. 4, 2013
- Updated Jul. 4, 2013 at 4:34 PM EDT
American Mara Abbott made her full return to the sport she once dominated on Thursday, winning the fifth stage of the Giro Ciclistico d'Italia Femminile and taking the overall leader's pink jersey. Abbott (U.S. National Team) attacked from a breakaway with countrywoman Evelyn Stevens (Specialized-lululemon) to ride solo to the finish and pull on pink for the first time since her 2010 overall win in the most prestigious women's stage race in the world.
Francesco Cauz (Top Girls Fassa Bortolo) was second, at 1:44. Fabiana Luperini (Faren-Kuota) was third, at 1:49.
Abbott's attack distanced overnight leader and defending champion Marianne Vos (Rabobank Women).
"The only tragedy of racing the Giro is that you're not home on July 4. What better way to celebrate than to win it?" Abbott said in a press release from USA Cycling. "I really can't say enough about my teammates."
With three days remaining, Abbott leads Tatiana Guderzo (MCipollini-Giordana) by 1:27. Luperini is third overall, at 1:34. Vos is now seventh overall, at 3:20.
"I'm going to try to protect this lead with the help of my teammates," said Abbott. "They have been great so far. They've done everything that's been asked of them. I have confidence that they will continue to give everything until the end."

Police: Sons ignored mother lying on floor
The woman was found lying amid maggots, beer cans and trash.
Published: Tuesday, May 19, 2009 at 6:01 a.m.
Last Modified: Monday, May 18, 2009 at 11:12 p.m.
A Dixie County woman believed to be in her 70s was reportedly lying on the floor of her home for five days amid maggots, beer cans and trash while her middle-aged sons ignored her.
The woman was found Saturday when a neighbor stopped by, saw the woman's sons sitting on the porch and then found the woman on the floor inside the house at 737 N.E. 644th St. in Old Town.
Dixie County Sheriff's Office Capt. Chad Reed said Jerry P. Holland, 49, and Donald K. Holland, 48, were arrested and charged with aggravated abuse and neglect of the elderly.
The neighbor who found the woman called 911.
The first ambulance crew on the scene summoned deputies after finding the partially clad woman covered with bruises and sores.
Deputies said the home had a strong odor of urine and feces and that the home was in deplorable condition, with maggots, empty beer cans and trash strewn everywhere.
Jerry Holland reportedly told deputies that his mother had been on the floor for five days. The woman was taken to North Florida Regional Medical Center in serious condition.

Rwanda : Hair care rules you must break
How many times have you been told that it's not a good idea to wash your hair every day? And yet you still find yourself lathering your locks in the shower morning after morning?
According to Emmy Award-winning stylist Curt Darling, not listening to certain hair care philosophies can cause some serious strand damage. "Hair is the ultimate accessory," he says. So there's no better time than now to start treating it right.
Find out how bad those alleged must-follow rules affect your hair when you keep reading.
Wash your hair every day
Darling compares over washing your hair to over washing your favorite piece of clothing; if you were to wash your favorite shirt every day, it would fade and become threadbare. "The fabric of your hair is the same in that it gets worked out and dry from over cleansing," he says. The tone of your hair can also fade, causing your strands to look dull and drab.
Not get regular haircuts
"A great haircut is the foundation of your everyday style," Darling says. Cuts can usually last about six weeks, but it depends on the style and texture of your hair, along with other influences. If you abuse the straightening iron, for instance, you'll want to trim your ends regularly. However, if you tend to be kinder to your locks, you can leave a little time between cuts.
Use hot tools (like blow-dryers and straighteners) every day?
Like washing your hair too often, using hot tools on your hair will wear it out and drastically drain its moisture. On top of that, if we are burning it into submission on a daily basis, we may wake up one day with scarecrow hair! Use a dry shampoo every other day, cutting your need to use hot tools in half. Over the course of a year, it can make a huge difference.
Bleach your hair
It may seem like the worst possible thing to do your hair, but Darling maintains that bleaching isn't the monster-under-the-bed it's made out to be. "When hair is bleached by a highly skilled stylist, great results can be had with minimal damage to the hair," he says. Bleaching can also give your hair punched-up tone and texture. Just make sure to properly care for your locks after you bleach them.

Care of the hair and care of the scalp skin may appear separate, but are actually intertwined because hair grows from beneath the skin. The living parts of hair (hair follicle, hair root, root sheath, and sebaceous gland) are beneath the skin, while the actual hair shaft which emerges (the cuticle which covers the cortex and medulla) has no living processes. Damage or changes made to the visible hair shaft cannot be repaired by a biological process, though much can be done to manage hair and ensure that the cuticle remains intact.-*

Thugs Do the Unthinkable: Mug a 3-Year-Old BoyMeredith Carroll
It's not hard to imagine how you'd feel if you got mugged: Violated, frightened, angry. But it's seemingly impossible to think how you'd feel if your 3-year-old child was mugged, because you probably suppose no one would actually do that.
Except they did. A 3-year-old boy was sitting in his stroller being pushed by his mom in the Bedford-Stuyvesant neighborhood of Brooklyn last week when two thieves came along and ripped a $400 gold chain off his neck, according to the New York Post.
Not only was it a pricey gold chain, but it was a sentimental one, too, as it was given to the boy by his godparents for his christening and had a small medallion on it with the image of a pair of hands holding a child.
Little Harvey Hernandez was in the lobby of his family's apartment building at 11:45 p.m. last Tuesday night after he and his mom and teenage brother returned from a Laundromat. His mom knew they were being followed and locked the lobby door after they got inside to keep the teen attackers at bay. The thugs kicked in the door anyway.
The mom told the Post she screamed, "Let go of my baby! Let go of my baby!" but the aggressor "didn't say anything — he just looked at us and laughed, almost mocking us." She fought with the attackers and tried to get them away from Harvey.
"How could he do this to a helpless little baby!" she asked.
Harvey's mom Riyana Guerrero even believed they would have kidnapped him if her screams hadn't alerted neighbors, who scared away the thieves.
Thankfully no one was hurt, although Harvey's 13-year-old brother is now too traumatized to go outside, especially since the attackers, who are believed to be around 16 or 17, have not been caught.
The family plans on moving.

This is the only place that this will be allowed, but there are some rules.
If it was so, it might be; and if it were so, it would be; but as it isn't, it ain't. That's logic.
