Mario Kart Wii
Review by JRYR19
"An on-par new installment in the Mario Kart franchise."
In the newest installment of the Mario Kart franchise, Nintendo has decided to stray slightly away from the norms set in the past and try some new things. While doing so, they also retain some of the major key elements used that made the Mario Kart franchise so popular. The main question is; does Mario Kart Wii work with these several elements blended together?
Gameplay: 9/10
Mario Kart was always a game I could have in my console and leave it there for extended periods of time. The gameplay was always refreshing with each new installment (for the most part) and having fun was the general byproduct of playing these games. In Mario Kart Wii, I can safely say that Nintendo has created a worthy game in its series on the Wii, and obviously it can be contributed to its gameplay.
The racing in the game is, 90% of the time, a fun experience. The new addition of bikes, a skeptical new add-on, is actually a redeeming aspect of the game. In fact, I find myself and many others using them more often because of certain advantages, but karts still seem to work nicely.
When buying Mario Kart Wii, the game includes a Wii Wheel, a peripheral to emulate "real driving." At first, it seemed like something gimmicky, but the responsiveness is spot-on and is often more fun to race with. However, it seems to be harder to become masterful at the game with the Wii Wheel; it's geared towards casual players.
Like any other Mario Kart, there is the single player Grand Prix mode to race against CPU characters for 1st place in a series of circuit races. There is also time trial and battle available, but the main single player has a lot to do with Grand Prix because one can unlock several things from doing it.
Grand Prix is a generally fun experience. Races consist of 12 contestants, all from certain Mario games (or, you can use your Mii). It wouldn't be Mario Kart without the distinct utilization of items and other tactics to get back in the lead. It can get pretty hectic when there are items careening all over the road, which certainly attributes to its overall fun gameplay. There are three levels of difficulty, with the hardest mode testing skill and patience. There has been a lot of talk about the annoyance of items used against you, particularly when one is in 1st place; especially on the hardest difficulty. While spiny blue shells (target and stun 1st place player) can be obnoxious, and have cost me several races, Grand Prix is certainly beatable with practice, trial and error, and perhaps some luck. You will be bombarded with disrupting items quite often, so prepare yourself.
Choosing from a variety of karts/bikes and characters, there always seems to be a new combination of characters and karts to mix and experiment with, although I find myself sticking to a usual two or three after I have made my choices. It all depends on what stats of the karts/bikes and characters seem to suit you best. All of the usual characters have made their appearances, like Mario and Peach, but oddly there are some characters that seem strangely added. To name a couple, Rosalina from Super Mario Galaxy and Baby Peach are both characters that seem out of place, but it doesn't really detract from the overall gameplay.
If you find yourself bored of the standard single player routine, the online play makes up for any beef you have with the single player. If you want to race friends from around the world or perhaps just some random guy from Spain, the online play is for you. Or, if you want to compare your time trial records with people worldwide, you can do that, too.
One can test their skill with people from all over the world, and the game has a way of recording how good you are with your amount of "VR." Finding matches is almost instantaneous, and only on a few occasions have I had trouble getting some matches going. If you have a friend over, you can both play online through splitscreen, something I have yet to see on a Nintendo game until now. It's fun to just play Mario Kart and race with random people; I find it fun to see the different Miis people create.
If you have a Wii and have been looking for a good game to play online, Mario Kart Wii is a must-buy.
Graphics: 7/10
By now, anyone who has owned or played a Wii for a considerable amount of time knows that the graphics aren't the best, but certainly aren't bad. Mario Kart Wii's graphics are nothing special, but they aren't bad.
There is a lot of color and distinct look put into the courses, and Nintendo clearly put some effort in to making them look nice.
One may find that some things look blocky and the attention to detail isn't of the utmost quality, but the graphics are nice and aesthetically pleasing. There are no major problems in the graphical area.
Sound: 6.5/10
The soundtracks, while racing in the game, are simple tunes that aren't annoying and suit the courses pretty nicely. They give each track a distinguishable feel.
However, the main area that doesn't really work out are the voices of the racers. While some, like Mario and Luigi are not bothersome, others may get on your nerves. I find myself turning the volume down when playing as certain characters, or just playing music from elsewhere.
Put quite simply, the voices are horrendous on a majority of characters. Some of the Baby characters' laughs and giggles will remind you of the time you had to listen to a screaming child sitting adjacent to you.
They are irritating, put quite simply. Donkey Kong is one I can remember offhand that is annoying, with his odd sounding groans.
Ending Statements:
With solid gameplay going for it, Mario Kart Wii will surely keep you entertained. There are some annoyances like the terrible voice acting, but that should not stop one from enjoying the addicting racing aspects.
The difficulty on single player will range from "beginner" to "expert," so no matter who you are, one should be able to find a difficulty to suit them.
Even if you don't care about single player, the game's online portion is certainly a way to get more usage out of the Wii's online service.
Buy this game.
I give it an 8/10 (not averaged out).
Reviewer's Rating: 4.0 - Great

Your tags are great and so is your blog. I've got my tags in a book too. I added the comments I'd received as well but it didn't look right so now it's just the tags and a little square with the theme for the tag written in it.
I've joined your merry gang of followers and look forward to seeing what you make.
Best wishes

Pitt's Gibbs to get NBA draft feelers
Junior point guard Ashton Gibbs will toss his name into the 2011 NBA Draft, but that doesn't mean his days at Pitt are over.
Gibbs' father, Temple, said his son plans to declare for early entry to get feedback from NBA teams and a feel for the draft process but won't hire an agent. That would allow him to return to school if he's not content with what NBA scouts say about his draft situation.
"It would be to see what it is like," Temple Gibbs said Tuesday. "From what I know, he was thinking about (declaring). But he wouldn't hire an agent, without a doubt."
As of yesterday, Ashton Gibbs still hadn't declared for early entry, said Pitt basketball media relations director Greg Hotchkiss. Gibbs could not be reached for comment, and Pitt coach Jamie Dixon, who is traveling, did not return phone messages.
The 6-foot-2, 190-pound Gibbs, who led Pitt in scoring each of the past two seasons, has until April 24 to file paperwork with the NBA.
Provided he maintains his amateur status, Gibbs can withdraw his name anytime before the May 8 deadline without losing NCAA eligibility. The two-round NBA draft is June 23.
News that Gibbs will declare came as a surprise. The Scotch Plains, N.J., native is a first-team all-Big East selection who led Pitt in scoring each of the past two seasons, but is regarded as a late second-round pick in 2012 — following his senior year — by many popular NBA mock draft websites.
Another factor is the NBA's labor troubles that may threaten the 2011-12 season.
Gibbs, however, has nothing to lose. By declaring early, Gibbs would have a two-week window to attend workouts — taking advantage of a three-year-old rule that allows NBA teams to pay for the travel expenses of underclassmen — and gauge his stock in a 2011 draft that is considered weak.
"I think it's a good idea for Ashton Gibbs," said one NBA scout, who requested anonymity because his team prohibits him from publicly discuss college players. "He had a hell of a year. It's not going to hurt him, and I think it could help him."
Gibbs, who averaged 16.8 points this season for Pitt (28-6), is one of the top pure shooters in the nation. He made a school-record 102 3-pointers this season while shooting 49 percent from behind the arc. He possesses a quality in demand in the NBA. On the down side, he is undersized for the position and isn't regarded as an NBA-caliber athlete.
If Gibbs stays in the draft, he would be the third Pitt player in the past six years to leave early. Chris Taft and DeJuan Blair departed after their sophomore seasons in 2005 and 2009, respectively. Both were drafted in the second round. Back problems ultimately forced Taft out of the league. Blair is averaging 8 points and 7 rebounds for the San Antonio Spurs, who own the NBA's best record.
Aaron Gray declared after his junior season and went through the pre-draft process but returned for his senior year. Sam Young flirted with the idea but decided not to test the waters after his junior season.
Last year nearly half of the NCAA's early-entry candidates — 48 out of 98 — withdrew their names before the deadline. Of those who remained, 36 were picked and 14 went undrafted.Additional Information:
Testing the waters
Here are some of the top underclassmen guards who have declared • or are expected to declare • for early entry into the 2011 NBA Draft:
Kyrie Irving, Duke: Fr., 6-2, 175 • Projected to go in top 5#
Alec Burks, Colorado: So. 6-6, 185 • Top 10
Kemba Walker, Connecticut: Jr. 6-0, 179 ? Top 15-20
* Malcolm Lee, UCLA: Jr. 6-5, 180 • Early 2nd round
* Darius Morris, Michigan St.: So. 6-4, 190 • Early 2nd round
* Ashton Gibbs, Pittsburgh: Jr. 6-2, 190 • Not rated

ARETHUSANS Netball Club is now in its sixth year of success – the South & West Dorset League's very own 'Pink Ladies'.
The club boasts more than 30 registered players (three teams), seven umpires including an England umpiring mentor and five qualified coaches (holding UKCC Level One – to the coveted Level Three). The club is fortunate to be sponsored by two thriving local businesses – Belle Construction Ltd and Boho Bar – who provide much needed financial support.
With Arethusans having dominated local top-flight netball for a number of seasons, the club has more recently gone through a development stage with club manager Kelly Browne quick to recognise the strengths of new recruits.
She said: "We're fortunate to have secured key new signings during the past season, including Anna Godwin who has strengthened Boho B, although this has been at the expense of established club members leaving for university, such as Danielle Hodkinson (who now plays alongside England's Sonia Mkloma)."
With all three teams focused on following their own personal goals, there seems plenty to get excited about. Belle have chalked up many league titles to date, and claimed another runners-up spot this season.
After a spell out of the top-spot limelight they are vying to conquer Division One when the Summer Season returns.
Recently back in the fold after a break are league stalwarts Browne, Clare Stenhouse and Louise Bugler, with the latter excited to be back after having a baby and looking to galvanise the rest of her team to claim the honours.
Boho A are now captained by Carly Dean and she has proved to be a danger in mid-court and a fierce threat for any challenging opponent.
Her team narrowly escaped relegation during the Summer 2011 season and during the recent campaign were fixed on raising the standards by assuming a more consistent side each week that reflects their young talent.
Dean is assisted in the decisions by Tori Naerger, and she has praised the efforts of her team-mates.
She said: "We certainly have what it takes to remain in top-flight netball."
Boho B suffered relegation down into Division Three for the Winter 2011/2012 season, but to their credit they regrouped and stormed into pole position, winning the league while remaining unbeaten.
Team captain Stella Campbell said: "We have been playing with conviction and have learned huge amounts from playing at the higher level – we are over the moon that we have recouped some silverware."

Review: Hitlantis
February 6, 2012
Hang on for a minute...we're trying to find some more stories you might like.
Email This Story
Finding new and decent music is a battle, one lots of people fight most days with a grimace on their faces and a stiff-search-engine-clicking feel in their hands. It's a long and tiring battle for the 'mainstreamers,' and an even more tumultuous task for those who have more specificity when choosing what to filter into their fragile brains.
As music connoisseurs, we rely on sites like YouTube, Pandora, GrooveShark, and those unreliable top twenty lists to find new bands and songs. These sites may relieve some of the stress induced by music-hunting, but even still, I fear, there is an emptiness that needs filling in my hungry-little-musical-soul, and I know I'm not the only one.
But have no fear! Hitlantis is here!
It's like an intravenous drip of a variety of new and stimulating bands from throughout the world, all in one convenient little place, for anyone to peruse at their own leisure. Based and managed in Finland, Hitlantis offers a little bit of everything, and more.
Go to the URL bar, type in Hitlantis.com, and prepare to be amazed. What sets Hitlantis apart is the colorful bubbles arranged in organized chaos on the homepage. They are color sorted in a massive blob surrounding one bubble which features highlighted bands and the occasional advertisement. The colors represent the genre of music. For example, dark blue is alternative and bright green is R&B. Under each genre there are literally hundreds of bands. Each represented by its own little bubble. All the user has to do is zoom in and click to begin exploring new and upcoming bands.
There is a search feature and handy icons which allow the user to create playlists, submit feedback, get help, and look at videos.
The site is evermore expanding, as well, adding new band-bubbles often. Anyone can make an account; they are free and offered for music seekers and bands alike. Bands can sell music as well as get free publicity on the site. It's a great tool to utilize, as there are a fair amount of bands running around Riverside.
"Hitlantis is a music community where everyone can come to discover new Music easier than ever before. Hitlantis inhabits Music Lovers and Artists. On the Hitlantis Map, Users may easily see the quantity of Artists per different musical genres. Also, The Map displays the popularity very well: the hotter the Artist is the closer to the center they are."
The site writes under general information to describe itself. It's true. It's a user friendly music sharing site. The site has slim to no bugs or glitches. The site does not ask to be granted credit-card-stealing permissions on your computer's hard drive. It is safe and efficient. If anything, it is at least worth a glance. What's the worst than can come from it?
Everybody should check it out, to see what the fuss is about, because lives are definitely changed on Hitlantis.
Remember folks, you may lose a battle, but Hitlantis can help you win the war.

Klein, Brown Earn Big 12 Weekly Honors
Klein, Brown Earn Big 12 Weekly Honors
Oct. 22, 2012
MANHATTAN, Kan. – Following an impressive 55-14 victory at No. 13 West Virginia on Saturday, Kansas State quarterback Collin Klein and linebacker Arthur Brown were named the Big 12 Offensive and Defensive Players of the Week, the conference office announced Monday.
The honor was the second of the season for Klein (Miami) and the third of his career, while it was the first time Brown has been honored in 2012 and the second time in as many seasons. The Wildcats now have a Big 12-leading 14 player-of-the-week honors since the beginning of 2011, double the amount of the team in second place.
Klein, who was also named the Walter Camp National Offensive Player of the Week, accounted for seven touchdowns – including a career-best three through the air – and completed 19-of-21 passes for a career-high 323 yards (266.82 rating) against the Mountaineers. With his four rushing touchdowns against WVU, Klein set the NCAA FBS record for rushing touchdowns by a quarterback in two consecutive seasons with 41, while his career total of 47 surpassed Darren Sproles' previous school record of 45. The senior has thrown for 1,397 yards and 10 touchdowns this season while rushing for 551 yards and 14 scores.
Brown led a K-State defense that held the prolific West Virginia offense to just 243 total yards, including 155 through the air. The Wichita, Kan., product carded eight tackles, including a pair for losses. He also registered his second career interception, which ended Geno Smith's streak of consecutive passes without an interception at a NCAA record 273. The senior linebacker's first career pick came against Baylor's Robert Griffin III last season and ended the eventual Heisman Trophy winner's consecutive passes streak without an interception (110).
Kansas State, ranked third in this week's BCS standings, will take on 14th-ranked Texas Tech on Saturday at Bill Snyder Family Stadium. The game, which kicks off at 2:30 p.m., serves as FOX's College Football Game of the Week with Gus Johnson (play-by-play), Charles Davis (analyst) and Julie Alexandria (sidelines) on the call. The game can be heard on the K-State Sports Network as well as SIRIUS Satellite Radio channel 85 and XM channel 85.

Boring Cruise, Princess can do better: Crown Princess Cruise Review by Spray
Overall Member Rating
Boring Cruise, Princess can do better
Destination: Mexican Riviera
Embarkation: Los Angeles
It was a disappointing cruise. We flew into LA and spent the day waundering around San Pedro trying to kill time until we could board at 5 p.m. It was tiring however we did take a very interesting tour of the battleship USS Iowa which is berthed there.
At 5 p.ml. we boarded and went to our cabin. We had asked for twin beds with waffle tops, robes and distilled water. We had a double bed without a topper, no robes and no towels. We didn't have toiletries or tissues in the bathroom. Our steward was running around doing his best to bring the cabins up to standard. I must say by the end of the next day all of our concerns had been addressed and our steward did a very good job of keeping our cabin ship shape.
This was not the normal Princess cruise in terms of food or entertainment.
No entertainment by the pools, unless you More classify Movies Under the Stars as your entertainment. No pool games, ice carvings, bands, cocktail making contests, etc. It was very boring, one can only read for so long. There were no sail away parties. When we were leaving Puerto Vallarta the Cruise Director announced there would be a sail away party with music etc. He came up to the pool deck, stood there for 10 minutes and then left. Nothing happened. People just stood around looking bored.
As the they were still trying to eliminate the norovirus, for the first 4 days of the cruise we could not serve ourselves in the Horizon. This meant that the remaining crew had to serve which resulted in diminished food selections and long lineups. Burgers and pizza were by far the best food options for lunch or a snack.
We have a complaint regarding service in the main dining rooms and this does not pertain only to the Crown. We were recently on the Ruby in the Caribbean and had the same problem. They are understaffed in the main dining rooms. The waiters are running around, barely having time answer any questions regarding the menu. There are long waits between courses. On more than one occasion we left before ordering dessert as we had been left sitting for over 20 minutes waiting for the dessert menu. We do not feel this is the fault of the servers but the result of a management decision to reduce staff. The worst part is the anxiety transfer, instead of feeling calm and enjoying a relaxing dinner in lovely surroundings, you feel the frantic pace of the dining room staff as they rush about trying to accommodate everyone. This complaint does not apply to the Crown Grill or Sabbatini's where the staff is great.
Another complaint is the lack of enforcing the dress code for formal nights. We dressed in formal wear for both ships, the Ruby and the Crown which meant that we paid extra for luggage in order to bring formal wear but we enjoy dressing up on that one night. On the Ruby we were seated next to a table of diners in t-shirts and shorts and on the Crown we sat next to a gentleman wearing a bowling shirt and ripped jeans. Princess needs to decide to enforce the dress code in the dining rooms on formal nights or I predict over the next year or so formal nights will be a thing of the past or will come to mean - wear your best pair of jeans!
The staff were very friendly as expected on the Princess ships and I expect that we will cruise Princess again; however, if they don't entertain us or staff up then we will go elsewhere. We work hard for our cruise dollars and will spend them on whichever line gives us the best bang for the buck. Less

Stop Screwing With The National Anthem
Please. The National Anthem is a beautiful song that (in my opinion) is not open for artistic interpretation.
Please. The National Anthem is a beautiful song that (in my opinion) is not open for artistic interpretation.
I'm sad that I just found out about this amazing performance of the late Whitney Houston classic, "I Will Always Love You."
Jessica and Skylar. That's basically all you need to take away from American Idol last night.
In a new statement made Monday (Feb. 13), Dolly Parton emphasized once again just how deeply saddened she is by the tragic and sudden death of pop superstar Whitney Houston, who died Saturday in a Beverly Hills hotel room. Parton seems to have felt a special connection with the soaring songstress, especially since they shared the hit 'I Will Always Love You,' a song Parton wrote and performed in 1974. Houston then brought the git to girls across the globe, who sang it into their hairbrushes after 1992, trying to mimic the astounding runs and unbelievable high notes of the talent.
The world lost a wonderful voice over the weekend, with the passing of Whitney Houston.
Dolly Parton and the late Whitney Houston are forever connected through one very specific hit ballad. Houston's version of 'I Will Always Love You' — which Parton wrote and first released in 1974 — was a massive hit for Houston in 1992 as part of 'The Bodyguard' soundtrack.

A heuristic: If a members of a datatype have a unique representation on the machine level, then it is safe to use eq?. If two different representations can represent the same (abstract) value, then use eqv?. For floating point numbers +0.0 and -0.0 have different representaions, but both represent zero. The fixnum 0 and the bignum 0 also have different representation, but represent the same number. Conclusion: Always use eqv? instead of eq? when comparing numbers. Exception: If you in an algorithm can prove all numbers are representable as, say, fixnums, then you can use eq? -- but remember that the range of fixnums may be different on other implementations. Characters can also have different representations - at least in some implementations. The subject pops up once in a while in comp.lang.scheme.

In hindsight i think these rules are too restrictive, but hey ho!

Turns hosting later tonight!
Its that time of the week again, turns due in but a few small hours!!
I notice you didn't push the front last turn and that my raiders have found your capital very close to our old borders. I'll keep an eye on this thread in case you want to do any diplomacy before the turn is processed.
- Sauromatia
Really really really sorry would you guys mind rerolling? The thing is we have a long weekend. A few mates and I went to another city so i missed submitting my turn. i'll monitor my email and submit my turn as quickly as possible.
Shieeeet. I just noticed the new turn file (well, third new file!) and that my spam filter apparently has decided to start eating the reminder e-mails from the past three weeks. So, sorry about not sending in turns for the past three weeks.
Don't worry all, i'll just accept the stale turn :)
We all ok for turn this Sunday?
I'd much rather delay the turn going in than rollback. I check this thread early Sunday evening so if you post if you need it delayed.
I will be going abroad for a month without any chance to play this in about two and a half weeks. I don't know if you want to put me as AI in the meanwhile or if I could hope to find a stand in.
(For the record, I've also forgotten to take my turn twice so far.)
Going AI is permanent i believe. I open this to the collective. For the record i'm fine with waiting til you get back.
Heliocentric just offered to cover for me while I'm gone, assuming that's acceptable.
Firstly, sorry - I'm shit, I've been really busy and everytime I see the notification e-mail for turns, I put it to the back of my mind and file it under' I'll deal with this later'.
But yeah, I'm gonna go AI, I have been appalingly bad at keeping up, didn't respond to diplomatic messages someone sent the time to craft and think through and basically have slowed this game down for you fine folks several times. I'll set myself to AI and send off the current turn this evening and wish you all the best of luck in completing it.
I believe the admin just has to change the email for Mictlan to yours.
So do I need to request a resend? Or has this turn been submitted already?
Probably a resend, this turn is due Sunday and Mictlan has not submitted yet.
Sorted (hopefully!)
Worst substitute ever, I went to take the turn then had to go before finding the map.
Any chance of a 6 hour bump and I can take it as soon as I get home?
Sure, turns not due until tommorow evening tho?
Doh, ignore me, carry on.

Bamako - Mali's interim president, Dioncounda Traore, sidelined his controversial prime minister, Cheick Modibo Diarra, on Sunday by announcing the creation of new bodies tasked with ending the crisis.
In a televised address to the nation, he announced he would be in charge of a High Council of State, lead talks for a unity government himself and create a committee to negotiate with the Islamists controlling Mali's north.
The High Council of State is designed to "complete the country's institutional architecture" and "adapt it to socio-political realities".
It will be made up of the interim president and two vice-presidents, one of whom will be in charge of defence and security and handling the four-month-old crisis in the north. The other will represent the various non-political forces in Mali.
Traore also announced a government of national unity, with consultations being led by himself and not by prime minister Diarra, who has been in the post since April 17 by who has come under fire by a broad front of political parties, unions and civil organisations.
A unity government has been demanded by west African neighbours who set a deadline of July 31 for its creation, otherwise sanctions would be imposed.
Traore said a "national negotiating committee" would be set up to "engage in peace talks so as to seek through dialogue negotiated solutions to the crisis" in the north.
Traore returned to Bamako on Friday amid tight security after a two-month stay in Paris for medical treatment after he was attacked by a mob in his office.
"I forgive my attackers," the 70-year-old said at Bamako Airport after he landed in the West African nation, which is in a worse state of crisis than when he left it.
Armed, masked men kept watch on roofs to secure Traore's arrival, and he was greeted at the airport by Diarra.
Ex-junta leader Captain Amadou Sanogo, who led a March 22 coup which plunged the previously stable democracy into crisis, was also present.
"The Malian people are going through a very difficult period, starved for unity. I will apply myself to that," Traore said.
Traore said he was getting "better every day" after suffering a head injury when a mob of protesters against his appointment burst into his office on May 21 and beat him. He had been recovering in Paris ever since.
The interim president has a heavy workload awaiting him.
Hardline Islamists have strengthened their hold on the vast desert north of Mali, which they seized after the coup. The interim government which took over from the junta has proved powerless to deal with the occupation.
Diarra is trying to cobble together a wider unity government on the orders of mediators from the Economic Community of West African States (Ecowas) regional bloc to deal with the mounting crisis.
Ecowas wants to send a 3 000-strong military force to Mali, but is waiting for United Nations approval and a formal request from Bamako from a more inclusive government. - Sapa-AFP

Over-the-counter sleep remedies?
- Question from Julia: What about Benadryl for sleeping?
Answers -
Helena Schotland
I'm constantly taking my patients off of Benadryl (chemical name: diphenhydramine). The reason Benadryl is used for sleep is because it causes sleepiness, which is one of its biggest side effects. Benadryl can stay in your bloodstream many hours, thus you can awaken feeling very groggy. Benadryl can also interfere with sleep architecture, or the various stages of sleep we go through at night. People often have decreased REM (rapid eye movement) sleep with Benadryl and feel less rested as a result. Some have reported that Benadryl can lose its effectiveness fairly quickly after repeated use.
Editor's Note: Benadryl (chemical name: diphenhydramine hydrochloride) is known to reduce the effectiveness of tamoxifen. If you are taking tamoxifen, talk to your doctor about alternatives to Benadryl. For more information, please visit the Breastcancer.org Tamoxifen page.
- Marisa Weiss, M.D. Is there any effective sleep remedy that is over-the-counter?
- Helena Schotland None that I know of. So if someone needs a sleep medication, they should see a sleep physician.
- Marisa Weiss, M.D. Do you have a favorite sleep medication to start with?
- Helena Schotland Sometimes, after doing all the sleep hygiene techniques first, I sometimes start with Rozerem, which is a melatonin agonist. The beauty of Rozerem is that it does not have any issues of dependence or tolerance (where the medication stops working over time). If that is effective, then you may not need to take further steps into a true sedative-hypnotic medication such as Ambien, Lunesta (chemical name: eszopiclone), and Sonata (chemical name: zaleplon).
- Marisa Weiss, M.D. It's not a good idea to take someone else's sleeping pills. One size does not fit all.
- Helena Schotland Alcohol is a central nervous system depressant, as are the sedative-hypnotic medications. These are not two things that you should ever mix. Once you've taken a sedative-hypnotic medication, make sure you're ready to devote yourself to a full night's sleep. By no means should you be operating heavy machinery, such as a car, after having taken any sedative-hypnotics. You also may want to limit your activities the following morning after the first dose of a sedative-hypnotic until you see how the medication can affect you. Some people report drowsiness upon awakening in the morning. So it is important to know how you are going to react.
- Marisa Weiss, M.D. In terms of sleeping habits, if you have to wake up early during the week, is it okay to sleep late on the weekends? Or will that varied sleep schedule during the week cause a problem overall?
- Helena Schotland If you don't have insomnia you can vary your sleep schedule without too much problem. If you have the opportunity to sleep in, by all means—enjoy! However, if insomnia is an issue for you, you may not want to deviate more than an hour each way in terms of your bedtime and your rise time.
- Marisa Weiss, M.D. Are there certain hypnotic noises, like the waves on a beach, or soft blowing winds, or a soft train sound that help some patients go to and stay asleep?
- Helena Schotland Some people do fall asleep to a timer and have a noise-producing machine, but I don't like people to have those run for the entire night's duration. I prefer that they are set on a timer. It's amazing to me in my practice how many of my patients use the white noise of the TV to fall asleep. That's actually a bad thing, and if people are really dependent on the TV, I have them put it on a timer. One of the nice things about using silicone ear plugs is that you can hear your heartbeat and your breathing very easily. That's an internal stimulus that can be very relaxing to some people.
The Ask-the-Expert Online Conference called Sleep Well: Healthy Habits for Good Rest featured Helena Schotland, M.D. and moderator Marisa Weiss, M.D. answering your questions about ways to improve your sleep.

HOUSTON - Three million child abuse cases involving six million children are reported in the United States each year. That's why Child Abuse Prevention month is more than just a slogan.
In Harris County there were nearly 25,000 reported cases of child abuse last year involving more than 30,000 children.
April is Child Abuse Prevention month. It's a time to look at the causes and solutions to a problem that threatens the very future of our children.
Lidya Osadchey is the CEO of the ESCAPE Family Resource Center. She talks about the proactive mission of her organization to train parents about how to parent and how to deal with the stresses of life and the challenge of successfully raising children.
"All our programs are dedicated to one thing only, educating families, educating parents, and children, grandparents, adoptive parents.. fathers, whatever the composition of the family is," Osadchey said. "It's giving them the skills so they will prevent the pain not just to their children but themselves."
It is good information for parents, those who plan to be parents or those who know parents.
Also this week, you know him as Mattress Mac, the owner and energetic pitchman of Gallery Furniture. But Jim McIngvale is also a new father after adopting a daughter.
Mac is passionate about adoption and the role it can play in helping to provide hope and success to a whole generation of children.
"Understand it's going to be a battle and a blessing, and there's going to be set backs along the way," he said about the adoption process. "Be prepared for those setbacks, but it's such a wonderful thing to do."
Mac, now 63, says this new role has given him new energy and the anticipation of seeing his daughter succeed.

Bollywood actress Karisma Kapoor Tuesday launched her book "My Yummy Mummy Guide" on pregnancy and motherhood. She says it is for 'desi' mothers.
"We don't have an Indian take on pregnancy and motherhood. I felt that this will be something that Indian mothers will be able to relate to," Karisma told reporters at the launch of the at the Landmark book store.
The 39-year-old has written about everything related to pregnancy and childbirth. The book also gives tips on how to loose post pregnancy fat.
A mother of two – seven-year-old daughter Samaira and two-year-old son Kiaan, Karisma says just like any other woman she too have to balance work and home.
"I am also a normal person and a normal woman. I have the same feelings and emotions that other mothers go through. It is all about priority, if you know your priorities, you can do anything," she said.
She did have guilt pangs when she left her children and stepped out to work.
"I felt the guilt every single day. When you have to leave your children at home, you do feel guilty. But if your work also makes you happy, then you must work. A happy mom equals to happy children," said the actress who was married to Delhi based businessman Sanjay Kapur.
She admits raising children is not easy and a mother can go through a certain level of frustration.
"We all feel frustrated, but we have to continue to teach our kids. Don't get angry with them rather explain things to them. It is very important to be a friend to your child," she said.
The actress of films like "Raja Hindustani" and "Dil To Pagal Hai" still looks the million bucks.
Talking about how to keep fit post pregnancy, she said: "It is very important to maintain a healthy lifestyle. Eat what you want, but in small quantities."

It is a known fact that Bhandarkar had unceremoniously dropped Aishwarya from Heroine since the actress was then reported to be pregnant. After this controversy started hitting the headlines, Ash vanished from tinselville as she started preparing for her motherhood phase. That was the time, when Bhandarkar took Kareena on board and then started the filmmaker's high talks and claims about Bebo and the movie.
Heroine released last week, but failed to live up to our expectations. Kareena Kapoor's performance received some praise, but considering how stale the film was, Aishwarya should probably be glad to lay no claim over it. Some even feel that Aaradhya's birth was like a blessing or a 'vardaan' to Aishwarya's career, that could have suffered skirmishes and clashes, if she would have done Heroine.
Why Aishwarya?
Ash has wooed the audience with her drop dead gorgeous looks combined with good acting abilities for decades now. Her diva-like charm and enigmatic aura left millions swoon over her. Not only in India, Aishwarya is loved and adored in overseas as well. But, this does not mean that we are here to belittle Kareena. Bebo too has the ability to captivate the viewers with her charm and talent.
Could Aishwarya have saved Heroine's fate?
Well, this is the key question that many has been asking since Heroine's release. Heroine's first look poster with Aishwarya Rai, was released as part of the 64th Cannes Film Festival. Without a doubt, no one could ever deny that Aishwarya just looked heart-stoppingly gorgeous.
But, it's not only about the diva like looks that would work for a movie's success. Here's the question to all our readers, could Ash have done justice to Heroine?

Policies for the regulation of coexistence between GM and conventional crops
Pollen-mediated gene flow is one of the main concerns associated with the introduction of genetically modified (GM) crops, since growers of GM varieties normally do not take into account its possible impact on conventional and organic growers therefore generating negative externalities. Should a premium for non-GM varieties emerge on the market, 'contamination' with GM pollen would generate a revenue loss for growers of non-GM varieties. The existence of such externalities has led the European Union (EU) to put forward the concept of coexistence in order to guarantee farmers' freedom to plant both conventional and GM varieties without generating economic losses to conventional farmers. The first part of this paper develops a simple economic model analysing the problem of pollen-mediated gene flow as a particular kind of production externality. The model, although simple, provides useful insights into the policy needed to regulate coexistence. Since pollen-mediated gene flow is distance-dependent, the externalities will depend on the spatial structure of GM adoption in the landscape. The second part of the paper, taking GM herbicide tolerant oilseed rape (Brassica napus) as a model crop, uses a Monte Carlo experiment to generate data and then estimate the effect of some important policy variables (i.e. number of GM and conventional fields in the landscape, width of buffer zones and spatial aggregation) on the magnitude of the externality associated with pollen-mediated gene flow. Our results show that buffer areas on conventional fields are more effective than those on GM fields and that the degree of spatial aggregation exerts the largest marginal effect on the externality to conventional growers. The implications of the results for the coexistence policies in the EU are then discussed.

D&G Womenswear S/S11
English roses were in full bloom at the duo's playful collection of floral motifs in ode to romance
- PhotographyMorgan O'Donovan
- TextKasia Bobula
Stefano Gabbana and Domenico Dolce are renown for their playful use of corsetry and floral motif, and for their latest collection for D & G they once again delved into their favourite theme: the English garden. Delicate rose prints were emblazoned on pinafore dresses, jumpsuits and off-the-shoulder tops, with printed headcarves and large canvas totes topping off the silhouette. The feminine look was later shaken up by techno accents such as PVC bloomers or a windbreaker with a rose pattern. However, it was a series of floaty chiffon dresses with floral prints at the show's finale, which reaffirmed that it's romance – not eccentricity – that's really exciting D & G this summer.

SEMINOLE — An argument over littering led to a street fight that left one man seriously injured and three people arrested, authorities said.
It happened near 113th Street and 102nd Avenue in unincorporated Seminole about 8 p.m. Sunday when two cars on 113th Street stopped at a red light at Park Boulevard.
Sterling Goodloe, 17, of Clearwater was in the back seat of a 2001 BMW and threw a plate and a fork out his window at the light, according to the Pinellas County Sheriff's Office.
A 47-year-old passenger in the other vehicle started yelling at Goodloe.
Troy McKenna of 5647 Bayview Drive in Seminole and Goodloe continued yelling and insulting each other as the light turned green, their cars swerving through traffic, deputies said.
McKenna's wife, who was driving, tried staying behind so the BMW would go on, deputies said. The couple's son was also in the car.
Both vehicles stopped at 102nd Avenue, with the BMW in front, deputies said.
Troy McKenna got out of his car and approached the BMW, prompting Goodloe and another passenger to leave their car and start fighting, deputies said.
Goodloe and Brandon Harvey, 17, punched and kicked McKenna several times, deputies said. McKenna was seriously injured, they said, and flown to Bayfront Medical Center.
The teens and their 26-year-old driver, Miranda Coyle, drove away, deputies said. The three people in the BMW were all related, deputies said.
McKenna's wife and son were able to write down the BMW's license plate number before it fled. They turned it over to deputies, who located Goodloe, Harvey and Coyle and persuaded them to return to the scene.
Deputies arrested Goodloe and Harvey, both of 3121 Mary L. Road, on a felony charge of aggravated battery. They were taken to the Pinellas Juvenile Assessment Center.
Deputies arrested Coyle, of 5911 110th Way N, on a charge of being an accessory after the fact. She was taken to the Pinellas County Jail.
When tempers flare on the road, law enforcement officials say it's not good to get out of the car. "It's definitely something that we do not recommend," said sheriff's spokeswoman Cecilia Barreda.
And if you see littering?
It's against the law, so take down the tag number if you wish and report it, Barreda said.

Welcome to the PSBO
EOPSS established the PSBO to coordinate Commonwealth activities with the First Responder Network Authority (FirstNet). Congress established FirstNet in 2012 to provide emergency responders with a nationwide, high-speed, wireless network dedicated to public safety. This National Public Safety Broadband Network (NPSBN) will provide prioritized data communications to first responders during emergencies and reliable, secure access every day.
Join the Conversation!

What's Happening with FirstNet in Massachusetts?
This year promises to be busy times for FirstNet activities in Massachusetts. Earlier this year, FirstNet announced its selection of a vendor - AT&T - to implement the National Public Safety Broadband Network. This June, FirstNet will present the PSBO and the Governor's Office with the details of its proposed plan for Massachusetts. This plan is expected to specify planned coverage, cost, supported devices, timelines, and other information critical to the implementation of the wireless data network here in the Commonwealth. Initial implementation of the network in Massachusetts could begin as early as the end of this year and is expected to be completed by 2022. In addition, the PSBO has issued a request for responses to seek alternative plans, should the Governor decide to implement the NPSBN radio access network using the "opt out" alternative for the national wireless network buildout.

Massachusetts FirstNet Baseline Coverage Objectives Map
FirstNet has provided a baseline map of where public safety coverage objectives are concentrated throughout the state. This is based on locations of population, buildings, roads, public safety officials, and critical infrastructure. To view the baseline coverage objectives across the state and in your community, use the Massachusetts FirstNet Baseline Coverage Objectives Map tool.
The History of FirstNet and the Public Safety Broadband Network
The First Responder Network Authority (FirstNet) was created by Congress in 2012 to establish a nationwide broadband network for public safety. The final recommendation of the 9/11 Commission, the network will connect police officers, firefighters and EMS providers like never before. This video provides a short history of the NPSBN and the creation of FirstNet. View more videos like this on our FirstNet Videos page.
Priority, Pre-emption, and Quality of Service Tutorial: LTE Basic Concepts
FirstNet and the Public Safety Communications Research (PSCR) have coordinated to develop a two-part video tutorial to explain some of the key concepts regarding priority, pre-emption, and quality of service for the nationwide public safety broadband network (NPSBN). The first video focuses on the basic Long Term Evolution (LTE) concepts of these features. View more videos like this on our FirstNet Videos page.

Google rumored to offer Fiber areas with mobile phone service
Google Fiber areas are rumored to get a lot better in the future, with the Mountain View-based search giant looking into offering Fiber customers a mobile phone service.
The Information has its sources, which said that Google is interested in becoming a mobile virtual network operator, or MVNO. Google could offer its mobile service through Wi-Fi access points that are built directly into the super-fast Fiber service. This means that the company would only require the traditional mobile network when its service is unavailable or insufficient.
Even if Google were to announce this, it's not going to affect much of the mobile market in the US as Fiber only reaches a small handful of US residents at the moment.

VitaSol Therme
VitaSol Therme, Bad Salzuflen
VitaSol Therme in Bad Salzuflen invites you to experience how your movements, your mind and senses become lighter in the warm salt water. The sauna area with its natural swimming pond, the fitness club, different spa baths and various preventive and curative therapies offers many different opportunities for relaxing, for fitness activities, and for well-being.
Bad Salzuflen is one of the most famous resorts in Germany. The municipality appointed us to manage the VitaSol Therme under a lease contract. The original spa facilities at the edge of the resort park had already been built in the 1970s. In 2000, the entire thermal spa was renovated and made more attractive. When we took over the operational managment in 2008, additional investments were made to secure the futuure of the entire spa complex.

I LOVE limeade. And, lately, with swearing off sodas altogether (I've been on a very rare occasional soda diet for years), I've been looking for something exciting to drink when I don't feel like water. I've made a lot of fruit sodas like apple juice and club soda. But when I came across a simple limeade recipe, I knew I had to give it a try. The girls are sure to love it, too. They love fresh fruit juice, even when it's super tart. Such great, adventurous kids.
Homemade Fresh Limeade
2 limes, quartered
1 1/2 cups water
1-2 cups sucanat (to taste)
Water and ice to fill remainder of 2 quart pitcher
Blend limes and push through a strainer into a pitcher. Mix with remaining ingredients and serve.
Recipe Source: VeggieConverter.com
Adapted from Easy Homemade Limeade Recipe
The Results
Wow! This is a fantastic and refreshing drink. And it's also great spiked with a little rum or tequila! Delicious.

THE X2 bus service which runs from Oxford to Abingdon and Didcot is switching operators.
From Sunday, responsibility for the service is changing from Oxford Bus Company to sister company Thames Travel.
Operators say the switch makes sense as Thames Travel's Wallingford depot is closer to most places on the X2 route and will be better placed to deal with any problems.
And they are pledging that the service for passengers will not be affected Phil Southall, operations director for Oxford Bus Company, said: "Apart from the different bus livery, we hope passengers won't notice any difference to the service.
"Thames Travel will be using exactly the same timetable and all existing fares will remain the same.
"Thames Travel already operates other services in the X2 area, and it makes sense for passengers, as well as the operator, for Thames Travel to run the X2.
"The Wallingford depot is closer to most places on the route and if there are problems with traffic hold-ups, we can put things right much more quickly."
Mr Southall said existing fares would be unchanged, with some new deals on offer.

Monday Morning Memo
Here's a brief synopsis of what's going on this week in regards to Physics... and beyond.
Friday, January 24, 2014
Tuesday, Jan. 28:
Please join us for a talk with Frans Pretorius, Department of Physics, Princeton University:
Black Holes and Fundamental Physics
Black holes are perhaps the most remarkable prediction of Einstein's theory of general relativity. They are one-way membranes in the fabric of space and time, hiding singularities that exert infinitely strong tidal forces. I will begin by giving a brief history of the development of our theoretical understanding of black holes, and the astronomical discoveries that lead to the realization that they likely exist in the universe and play an important role in many astrophysical processes. As if this were not enough, over the past few years theoretical advances inspired by string theory are suggesting that general relativity, and in particular black holes "know" much more about fundamental physics that just gravity. This includes connections between black holes and thermodynamics, hydrodynamics and even quantum field theory. I will give a few of examples of this. I do not know whether there are deeper physical or philosophical reasons for these connections, though these examples hint that black holes could be become a cornerstone of 21st century physics.
Tuesday, January 28th, *CNS 112* @ 12:10 p.m.

Family Fitness
By exercising together, families support each other while improving their personal health.
Family fitness opportunities are available at two Children's Aid Society sites.
Sunday Sports
The Dunlevy Milbank Center's Sunday Sports program provides more than 60 children and youth ages 8-17 with age-appropriate fitness classes, sports instruction and nutrition education.
Sunday Sports helps children and families improve their overall health through regular fitness activities. Youth develop self-confidence and leadership skills in a safe space while parents support and encourage the community's young athletes.
Intergenerational Aerobics Program
The Intergenerational Aerobics Program at the Frederick Douglass Center is founded on the principle that fitness is something that a family can work on together.
During 90-minute sessions, a male and female instructor lead adults and youth in warm-up, full-body aerobics, cool down and abdominal exercises. Instructors also engage parents, grandparents and children in discussions about skeletal and muscular health and proper nutrition.
Classes take place Monday and Wednesday evenings from October through June.

Hi guys!
I'm really getting nervous at the moment because my 3GS is behaving extremely weird. But I'll let it to you to figure out what might be the reason. First of all some information about what I'm running:
3G S on custom 3.1.2. (from a good 3.1.1.) with old bootloader and SHSH on file
Jailbroken & Unlocked Tethered via blackweather
So what has happened was rather easy.
My signal died once again (it does that occasionally -.-) and didnt regain signal ever since. I switched to flight mode and it wouldnt leave it since then, didnt react to any key pressing or anything else, so I rebooted with the hard reboot method using the two keys for 10sec.
Soooo... I did a reboot, connected to blackra1n aaaaaaand.... got stuck as the phone rebooted. Geohot remained on my screen, the phone didnt react on any keys but was recognized by the computer and I was able to save my contacts.
Bad luck I decided, rebooted again (hard reboot), run blackrain again and zaaaaack... same thing.
Well then, I got my 3.1.2. SHSH stored with cydia so I decided to restore to my good old custom 3.1.2 like I did many times before... aaad oups... the phone obviously doesnt enter restore mode. iTunes shows "preparing phone for restore" for like 10 minutes and then fails on error 1600/1601/1604.
So if it's not entering restore mode properly - lets try DFU mode. Thought - done and failed me right away.
Right now the phone in restore mode takes iTunes 10minutes to fail on the 160x errors, in DFU mode it fails right away.
Well... even if my 3.1.2. SHSH is stored maybe apple went mad and found another way to block that. So I sn0wbreezed a 3.1.3. and tried the same with that one.
Yet same effect. 160x errors either right away, or after a 10 minut pause on trying to prepare the phone for restore.
So I am absolutely clueless about what do with the phone so I could restore to one of my custom firmwares and stay on the old bootrom&loader.
Do you guys have any idea?
Thanks so much!
