Live long and prosper? For this Middle East country, only part of this is true...

Although life expectancy among Jordanians witnessed an increase in 2010 compared to two decades earlier, the Kingdom is still threatened by the rise in chronic diseases, diet-related risk factors, and road deaths, according to a study released this week.
The Global Burden of Diseases, Injuries, and Risk Factors 2013 study ranked Jordan 10th among Arab countries in terms of an increase in life expectancy among men, with a 7.68 per cent rise from 70.3 years in 1990 to 75.7 years in 2010.
However, Jordan was ranked 19th among Arab countries for the rise in life expectancy among women and was only followed by Libya, Iraq and Kuwait.
According to the study, life expectancy among Jordanian women increased by 3.16 per cent, from 72.8 in 1990 to 75.1 years in 2010.
The study, conducted by the Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation (IHME) at the University of Washington, showed that Yemen topped the list of Arab countries in the improvement of life expectancy among men, with a 12.16 per cent increase in the period in question, followed by Lebanon (10.27 per cent) and Sudan (10.21 per cent).
Sudan led the list when it came to women's life expectancy (11.16 per cent), followed by Yemen (9.95 per cent) and Egypt (9.55 per cent).
The study noted that important changes occurred over those two decades in the region as a whole.
"Burden attributable to non-communicable disease, including ischemic heart disease, mental disorders such as depression and anxiety, and musculoskeletal disorders increased, while the premature death and disability from most newborn, nutritional and maternal disorders decreased," the IHME said.
"Basically, there were tremendous improvements in what is killing people but not in what is ailing them."
Of the 10 leading causes of health loss, combining both premature mortality and years lived with disability, between 1990 and 2010, lower respiratory infections remained the first, while ischemic heart disease rose to second.
Major depressive disorder rose from eighth to fifth place, and low back pain — which was not among the top causes of health loss in 1990 — was ranked seventh in 2010.
The rise of non-communicable disease in the Arab world mirrors similar changes in the US, Western Europe, and Canada, the study said.
Among non-dietary risk factors, smoking stands out for its toll on health in the Arab world.
"In many countries, children can buy tobacco and smoke shisha, which is seen as a gateway to cigarette smoking," the study said.
A study conducted by the same centre and published last month showed that Jordan topped Middle East countries in the prevalence of smoking among males and came third in terms of female smokers.
It showed that the rate of smoking among Jordanian men was 43.4 per cent in 2012, followed by Palestine (41.3 per cent) and Turkey (39 per cent).The prevalence of smoking among females in Jordan stood at 8.5 per cent, following Lebanon, which was ranked first with 21.2 per cent, and Turkey (13.6 per cent)."The Arab countries are in transition from places where infectious diseases are the main cause of concern to places where heart disease, cancer and diabetes are the main worries," said IHME Director Christopher Murray in a statement posted on the centre's website.
"Right now, in the low-income countries, they are suffering from a double burden of non-communicable and infectious diseases. And that causes an incredible strain on their health systems," he added.

Breeders' Cup Marathon: Eldaafer takes aim at fourth appearance in race
The heralded French mare Goldikova was among the stories of the 2011 Breeders' Cup at Churchill Downs. After winning the Breeders' Cup Mile an unprecedented three years in a row from 2008 to 2010, Goldikova finished third in her try for a fourth win in that prestigious race.
[BREEDERS' CUP 2012: DRF top 10 lists, video replays, latest news]
This year, another horse will be starting in the same Breeders' Cup race for the fourth consecutive year, albeit to much less fanfare. The 7-year-old gelding Eldaafer has started in the last three runnings of the Breeders' Cup Marathon, and while he won't be heading to Santa Anita this year looking for a four-peat, he did win the event at Churchill Downs in 2010.
That Eldaafer has a chance to make it back to the Breeders' Cup at all is a story in itself, and a credit to his trainer, Diane Alvarado. Eldaafer has a reputation as a difficult horse to train, and Alvarado has admitted that the horse has his own way of doing things and that she learned early on that she had to try to "outthink" him. Once turned over to Alvarado, Eldaafer began to immediately find his potential. In his very first start out of Alvarado's barn on June 5, 2009, Eldaafer won the Grade 2 Brooklyn Handicap at Belmont Park. He made his first Breeders' Cup appearance later that year over Santa Anita's old synthetic surface, finishing seventh in a race won by European import Man of Iron.
But Eldaafer and Alvarado were just getting started at that point. In 2010, Eldaafer won four times from 10 starts, including two graded stakes, earned more than $400,000, and wrapped up the year by returning to the Breeders' Cup to win the Marathon at odds of 10-1.
Things didn't go quite as well in 2011 as Eldaafer could manage only a pair of victories in allowance company prior to making his way back to Churchill Downs to defend his Marathon title. After finishing sixth in that race, he was transferred out of Alvarado's care to Brian Koriner in order to run on the West Coast, where his owners are based. His brief stay in California was missing an important piece – the trainer that knew him best. After failing to finish in the money in his three starts out West, Eldaafer was sent back to Alvarado to prepare for a fourth Breeders' Cup appearance and perhaps a chance to crack the $1 million mark in career earnings.
Eldaafer's second stint in Alvarado's barn began from a familiar place: the Brooklyn Handicap at Belmont Park. After running second to the now-retired Redeemed in that race, Eldaafer won a stakes race at Delaware Park in September and most recently ran a close third in the Grade 2 Hawthorne Gold Cup, his final prep for this year's Marathon.
There will be more important races than the Marathon run over the two days of the Breeders' Cup this year, and there will be bigger stars than Eldaafer and his trainer to keep tabs on, but there may not be a better story than the one they share.

Uncontested Rhode Island Divorce Work - What You Should Understand
Even though no one truly would like to experience a divorce, a lot of things could result in it. Even though this is true, it sometimes needs to happen, and when it does it would certainly be most ideal for one to make the process as easy as possible. Simply puts, you don't wish to come under the awful divorce trap that a lot of other people will go through.
When you have ever experienced a married couple being divorced, you are most likely aware of simply how horrifying it could be. One person might desire your house, the other might desire the automobile, and in the worst one of them might desire everything. Sadly, you can find several situations where one partner obtains all the properties and then leave the other one completely wrecked.
When there are children entailed, the procedure of divorce will end up being even much worse. Children do not yet understand the intricacies and difficulties of being married and all they see are their moms and dads fighting with each other regularly. One issue with this is that the kids will criticize themselves for the difficulties their parents have, and given that neither partner realizes this, they won't correct the trouble. Picture your children coming to be disheartened and unsociable considering that they think that they're the ones which triggered the divorce.
The very best method to deal with it would certainly be to choose an Rhode
Island uncontested divorce, though this can often be quite challenging. Both companions will should accept it, and they will have to be willing to sit down and work out the specifics. You can find generally 3 things disputed during a divorce process:
1) land property and family home, 2) material properties, and 3) kid wardship.
For those who have children, then an Rhode Island uncontested divorce is crucial for the children. Falling short to work it out in a civil fashion can trigger serious damage to your kids, which is not something which any parent ought to desire under any type of situations. Take a seat and chat it out with your ex-spouse, this is probably for the best.
Some separations can drag on for many years, specifically if one partner does not want to authorize the documents. It's not uncommon for one to end up in this scenario, and oftentimes one spouse will try to undermine the other. Some even go out of their way to alert child services in wish to taint the integrity of their ex-spouse. Since tips can be anonymous, it'll be quite difficult to prove where the contact uses originated from in the first place.
If not for your self, then do it for your kids. Get rid of long processes and challenges by seeing to it that you will get an
Rhode Island uncontested divorce. Your new life is about to begin.

Bulls hang on, get 63-59 win at DePaul
Dominique Jones hit a key 3-pointer with two minutes left and two free throws with 22 seconds remaining as USF hung on for a tight 63-59 road win, beating last-place DePaul on Tuesday night in Chicago.
Here's our full story from Times correspondent Darryl Mellema.
Jones had 20 points for the Bulls, but went just 4-of-17 from the field. Chris Howard added 13 points and Augustus Gilchrist 11 for USF. DePaul got 24 points and 11 rebounds from Mac Koshwal.
The Bulls improve to 18-11 and 8-9 in the Big East, with the regular season wrapping up Saturday in the Sun Dome against Connecticut. DePaul falls to 8-21 and 1-16 in Big East play. The Blue Demons had tied the game at 56-56, but Jones hit a 3-pointer to give the Bulls the lead for good.
After winning just two conference road games in their first four seasons in the Big East, the Bulls have won three this year, winning at Providence and Georgetown before Tuesday's victory. USF sits ninth in the Big East standings after the win.

"Soya: Silvino's Story" - Paraguay
Having broken the 60-year-old stranglehold on power of the right wing Colorado party, former Catholic Bishop and now President Fernando Lugo promises to tackle the years of injustice that were the hallmark of the old regime.
At the time of his coming to power, 2% of the landowners controlled 80% of the productive land. Much of that land had been parcelled out among the supporters of the Colorado party, other parts had been sold off at rock bottom prices to large Brazilian landowners.
These owners cleared large swathes of land on which they planted genetically modified soya. And the production of soya has become hugely controversial in Paraguay. Silvino Talevera died from pesticide poisoning from spraying the soya. His mother has launched a nation and international campaign to highlight the adverse effects of Paraguay's soya industry.

In the lifehacker spirit of sharing tips and tricks that help simplify one's daily routine, I've added a lifehack category to my blog. For the first entry I thought I'd start with this super simple shell function I have in my .bash_profile to make a time-stamped copy of a file. Before writing this, if I wanted to edit a config file I would generally make a copy and append '.old' to the file name. However, the next time you want to change it you're stuck wasting time figuring out what to name the next revision. To address that, this function adds a shell command called 'bak' that will make a quick copy of a file and add a date-stamp to the file name.

Morton's Steakhouse Chain Looking For a Buyer?
Morton's, Arnie Morton's, Morton's The Steakhouse... whatever you want to call it, the upscale steakhouse chain with 77 locations may be looking for a new daddy. Parent company Morton's Restaurant Group has begun "exploring strategic options," including a possible sale, reports NRN.
After a tough couple years for the high-end chain, which relies on plenty of corporate credit cards to pay for those $49 double-cut filet mignons and $17 burgers, business travel and convention attendance have begun rebounding with same-store sales rising 4.8% for 2010.
With locations in Burbank, Woodland Hills, downtown LA and near Beverly Hills, Morton's is something of an institution -- albeit a prefab, corporate-owned one. The Chicago-based company has been public since February 2006, and also operates Trevi, an upscale Italian restaurant chain in Las Vegas.

Genital warts, also known as venereal warts, are a sexually transmitted disease associated with pain and discomfort from itching and burning sensations. Genital warts affect the moist tissues of the genital area, causing irritation. A home remedy using aloe vera gel can be used to soothe skin and reduce inflammation, which can be especially helpful in providing comfort at night.
Where to Find Aloe Vera
Obtain aloe vera gel directly from an aloe vera plant for maximum benefits. Look for the thickest leaves, usually the outside leaves at the bottom of the plant. Trim the thorny edges and remove the skin from the top of the leaf, and then, holding the bottom part of the leaf, use a knife to slide the gel substance from inside the leaf into a container. You can refrigerate aloe gel using a food-safe container with a lid.
You can grow your own aloe vera plant outdoors or indoors. Aloe vera is a cactus-like plant requiring very little watering, but it does enjoy sunlight. When growing aloe vera indoors, keep it near a window to be sure it gets enough light.
How to Apply
Apply the aloe gel directly to skin with your fingers. The gel will be cool and comforting to irritated and itchy skin, especially if it's been refrigerated. Apply it immediately after showering and allow it to sink in without being washed off. As aloe gel can be sticky, this home remedy works best at night when you can leave the application on while sleeping for overnight relief.
As a home remedy, aloe gel is gentle enough to be applied on and inside the genitals during a genital warts breakout.
Why Aloe Vera Gel Works
Aloe vera gel feeds the skin with nutrients, including the amino acid lysine. This helps heal the infection while allowing the skin to breathe naturally and remain dry. The gel soothes the skin and relieves itching, which also reduces further damage to skin from scratching.

Prime Collaboration Provisioning
In July 2014, the Cisco Prime Collaboration 10.5 Provisioning software image was replaced on the software download page. This new release of Prime Collaboration 10.5.1 Provisioning provides the following new features:
- On the Welcome page, you can import a configuration file that contains the configuration details required by the wizard. If you have not imported any configuration file, Prime Collaboration Provisioning will use the values provided in the default configuration file (located at /opt/cupm/sep/deploy/dfc.ear/dfc.war/ipt/gsWizard/pcp-config.zip).
- You can also import Cisco Unified Configurator for Collaboration (CUCC) configuration files (tar files).
- On the Domain Creation page, you can add an intra-site dial plan that you can edit or extend later using the Infrastructure Configuration page. You can also import CUCC dial pattern file. If you have not imported any dial pattern file, the wizard will use the default 10-digit dial pattern file located at /opt/cupm/sep/deploy/dfc.ear/dfc.war/ipt/gsWizard/pcp-config.zip.
- On the Service Area creation page, you can enter the PSTN Gateway IP address (or hostname) and site code. You can also provide Survivable Remote Site Telephony (SRST) and Device Mobility information, if required.
- You can export the wizard data to a configuration file by using the Save the Configuration File option in the Summary page. Click Save the Configuration File with Keywords option to save the configuration file with keywords. You can use the exported file on a different server, or update the configuration file and import it during a new session of the wizard. You can use the Save Configuration Data option to save the wizard configuration data as a batch project.
- You can add, update, or cancel a Domain (with or without LDAP setting) using batch provisioning.
- You can add, update, or delete user roles using batch provisioning.
- You can add LDAP servers using batch provisioning.
- Batch provisioning support (add, change, or cancel) for new infrastructure objects.
Prime Collaboration 10.5.1 Provisioning includes support for the following new features in Prime Collaboration 10.5 Provisioning release:
Helps an administrator to quickly set up devices and provision services for new deployments. Using the step-by-step wizard, the administrator can add devices, create a domain and a service area (site), and enable services for the user role. Both manual and automatic service provisioning can be enabled for the user role. At the time of ordering, the user is assigned endpoints and services based on the option selected for the user role.
Note The wizard supports Unified Communications processors 10.5 and above versions. The wizard allows you to add Unified Communications processors for fresh installs only.
Batch action file is enhanced to support comments and multiple headers.
Support for system call handler and directory handler attributes.
Automatic Service Provisioning
You can use this option to automatically provision services for new users. Automatic Service Provisioning is supported for Unified Communications applications 10.0 and above.
While enabling Automatic Service Provisioning for a user role, you must select the service area (to be used for auto-provisioning) and the services that can be automatically provisioned for the users who are assigned to this user role.
While enabling Automatic Service Provisioning for Endpoint service, you have the following options:
- Default Endpoint—If you select this option, you must select the endpoint model that will be auto-provisioned for the user by default.
- Self-Provisioned Endpoint—If you select this option, the users will be able to provision their endpoints without contacting the administrator. The user can add the endpoint by plugging it into the network and following a few prompts to identify the user.
Note If you have enabled self-provisioning for Single Number Reach service, the user must go to the Self-Care portal of Cisco Unified Communications Manager to activate Single Number Reach.
See Supported Devices for Prime Collaboration Provisioning - Standard and Advanced for all supported devices.
User role page is enhanced to support Service Template Assignment Table to list the templates available for auto-provisioning.
Configuring LDAP Server Synchronization
- Support for field mapping for new attributes.
- While synchronizing users from LDAP server, you can use the following filters:
– Assign new line from the extension block
– Apply mask to LDAP synchronized telephone numbers
- In Prime Collaboration Provisioning converged and standalone applications, you can change the time zone by selecting the Time Zone icon from the top right corner of the Provisioning home page.
- Supports HTTPS mode by default.
New Infrastructure Product Support
Support for VG 310 and VG 320.
For Unity Connection 8.0.3 and above versions, during domain synchronization, Email services will be removed and Unified Messaging service will be merged with the corresponding Voicemail account of the user.
While ordering Voicemail service, if you select one of the TTS-enabled class of services (COS), Unified
Messaging service is enabled for that Voicemail account. If you select the TTS-disabled COS, Unified Messaging service is disabled for that Voicemail account. TTS-enabled COS and TTS-disabled COS options are displayed in the Class of Service drop-down list, only if an Exchange Server is configured for that Service Area. If an Exchange Server is not configured in that Service Area, only the TTS-disabled COS options are displayed.
Note In an upgraded server, you must run the user synchronization followed by domain synchronization to remove the Email services and merge Unified Messaging service with Voicemail.
Provisioning enables you to import multiple users in a single operation in the following ways:

Blount looks to turn DSU in right direction
Ryan's note: When it comes to Delaware State football stories, The Mojo Wire will act as sort of the "special features" part of the DVD. I'll try to include extra stuff that might not make it into the paper and occasionally weigh in with my own opinions on stuff…
This offseason was one of change at the top for the Delaware State football program. After a 3-8 season in 2010, the university parted ways with Coach Al Lavan, who had coached the team for seven seasons.
To try getting the program back on the winning track, DSU brought in a proven winner in Coach Kermit Blount.
Blount took the helm in Dover after previously spending 16 years at Winston-Salem State in North Carolina, where he is the winningest coach in school history and won two CIAA (Division II) conference championships.
After spending a year away from the sidelines, Blount decided to join DSU, where he is looking to turn the Hornets around after three straight losing seasons. The Hornets are preparing to open the Blount era on Sept. 3 against VMI.
Q: How have things gone? You've had two weeks of camp now.
KB: "This is actually practice No.14. We're still a ways away, we've got about a good week and a half to get it solid. But we have a lot of work to do and I expected that coming in, I think the staff expected that, but the kids have given us great effort and that's all we can ask for at this point."
Q: I was here at one of the early spring practices, how has the team progressed from then to now?
KB: "It's still a work in progress. We only had about 13 days of spring practice, so it's hard to evaluate it at that point because everything is moving so fast. We're installing offenses and defenses. Now it's just a matter of making sure they understand all the concepts of the rules on offense and defense. So I would say they are progressing pretty good. As a coach, it's not ever at the point you want it to be. But I think we're going to be fine."
Q: Last year the team ran more of a spread offense. How's your offense going to be different?
KB: "We're a little slower. We're going to slow it down. We want to try to establish the run and then throw the football if we have to, but it just depends upon the game plan and depends upon what the defense gives us. That's something that's going to be determined each game."
Q: Who are some players that have kind of jumped out at you so far? Who are some guys we should know going into the year?
KB: "I think when you look at guys like (quarterback Nick) Elko on offense and (linebacker Brandon) Harvey on defense, Darrell Brown is having a good camp, Calvin Minor is having a good camp. Some guys on offense, I thought Keith Newell has stepped his game up on the offensive line a little bit and we needed that. We're still trying to get a few guys healthy. We got some kids that are kind of stepping it up for the program and we just hope that we can get 80 percent of the team doing that."
Q: Jaashawn Jones (last season's leading rusher) looked like he's slimmed down compared to last year, what have you thought of him so far?
KB: "Has made a tremendous comeback. I'm real pleased at him. He did not get a chance to go through spring because of a shoulder injury but he's back and he's been getting at it a little bit, we can tell. He's a little slimmer but he's a little heavier."
Q: What are you looking to see in the scrimmage tomorrow and what do you think needs to be tweaked heading into the opener?
KB: "We just have to tweak assignments. That's got to be tweaked. We have to be assignment-sound when we head to Lexington, Va. in two weeks. And we have to be disciplined and I think we're getting there. I'm not overly concerned about our football team being physically prepared to play, but mentally and discipline is where we have to be. We have to shore up our two-deep. We have to figure out who's the first tier and then trickle it down to who's the second tier. So this weekend will give us an opportunity to kind of almost get to a point to get that first tier straight."
Q: "How's the adjustment been for you? Coming up here, it's your first year, how's that been? Or have you been around long enough that you can just jump right in?
KB: "When you get my age, you'll work anywhere. If I have to go to the middle of Alaska or the South Pole to coach football I could possibly do it. No, the adjustment is good. I think the kids have taken me in. That makes me feel really, really good that we were able to come in and establish relationships with some of these young men. That's a great feeling to be able to do that. I think the staff has adjusted well to these young men and the young men have done the same for us. We just want to make sure that our guys know that we're here for them and that it's about the student-athletes, not so much about football. It's about these guys on the field and off the field and I think that's what we're trying to sell them."

I think the book that has gotten me the closest to actually shedding a tear was Of Mice and Men by Steinbeck.
2. Re: Books that made you cryKennaS Feb 28, 2011 10:32 PM (in response to msmoonlite)
I cried and cried when I read this book at about 10 or 12 and my mother was so iritated. She never let me read Old Yeller either, because of that. Or Animal Farm. Or Charlotts Web. Im a cry baby when it comes to animals dying so Im not really sure that I want to read them anyway.
3. Re: Books that made you crynutz4books Mar 1, 2011 5:54 AM (in response to KennaS)
I'm with KennaS with Where the Red Fern Grows, and any other sad animal story.
I also cried alot with The Outsiders by SE Hinton when I was about 11 or so.

OMG I forgot...the first book to really make me cry was A Dog Called Kitty when I was around 10.
Its funny...I guess I'm more of a crybaby than I thought when it comes to books.

Nicholas Nickleby (Barnes & Noble Classics Series)
The melodrama of melodramas, the standard of its kind.
Dickens went over the top later in his career (Wilde had some reason to say, ''One would have to have a heart of stone to read the death of Little Nell without laughing.'' about the protagonist of The Old Curiosity Shop), but his third novel brings tears of sorrow and tears of joy in alternate chapters.

I have two:
Repeating one from above. As a former houndsman, I can relate to what that boy went through. While it didn't make me cry, it certainly had me reminiscing my experiences. Both good and bad.
His Majesty's Dragon (Temeraire Series #1)
The most recent one is this one. If Levitas' ordeal and death didn't make you choke up then you are a cold-hearted person.

If you're into total bombshell makeup and have an obsession with any cult film Quentin Tarantino has ever made, then you're going to be really excited about Urban Decay's latest collection. The beauty brand has launched a Pulp Fiction-themed line, inspired by Mia Wallace, aka the badass leading lady played by Uma Thurman (who nabbed an Oscar nomination for the now-iconic role).
Courtesy Urban Decay(4); Miramax/Everett
Mia was known for her blunt black bob, red lips and matching red mani (plus, her dancing skills), so in honor of Pulp Fiction's 20th anniversary, Urban Decay has created a line of products that can bring her look back to life. What's in store? A deep blood red lipstick, nail lacquer and lip pencil all dubbed "Mrs. Mia Wallace," a Heavy Metal glitter eyeliner in "Gunmetal" (to really bring the '90s vibe home), and a five shade eyeshadow palette. The limited edition collection ranges from $15 to $34 and will be available at urbandecay.com and major cosmetics retailers July 16!
Will you be buying some red lipstick? What product are you most looking forward too? What movie should Urban Decay develop into a themed-makeup line next? Share your thoughts below!

What is VLC Player? Why use it? Well, here are a bunch of reasons.
On the internet, there are many different video formats you'll come across… mp4, mov, wmv, flv, f4v, mpeg, avi, etc. The trouble is, what player do you use? Windows Media Player works great with wmv (Windows Media Video) files, and QuickTime does great with mov (Quicktime Movies)… but why can't we have one player to play all of our videos?
Answer: we can! VLC Player! It works on most computers and plays almost any file you throw at it. So that's why I'm recommending it to everyone.
It's 100% free, and it's open source. I strongly recommend you download this player if you watch sort of videos on your computer. This player has so many great features. You can correct aspect ratio issues (unstretch stretched out video), create playlist, loop A-B (so you can watch the same part of a movie over and over again, and so, so much more.

According this report from Associated Press Li Na had one simple request before answering questions in her on-court, post-match interview following a 2 1/2-hour battle in the brutal heat at the Australian Open on Friday: "Can we stand in the shadow?"
The Chinese star certainly earned the courtesy. She saved a match point before prevailing against Lucie Safarova, all while playing at the hottest time of the day.
The temperature topped 40C (104F) for the fourth consecutive day in Melbourne, the longest heat wave in the city for more than a century.
Players draped themselves with ice packs during changeovers and those in the women's singles were given a 10-minute break before playing a third set, but tournament officials did not enact the "Extreme Heat Policy," which would have suspended matches on the outer courts and closed the roofs on the two show courts.
The heat policy was put into effect on Thursday when the temperature topped 42C (108F) in the early afternoon, suspending matches on the outer courts for about four hours.
The high again topped 42C (108F) on Friday and, again, doctors were a frequent sight on the courts.
China's Zheng Jie received medical treatment after becoming dizzy and struggling with her breathing during the second set of her third-round loss to Casey Dellacqua.
"I feel so hot, my (mind) is not working," she said. "I just watch the ball and just hit it. I don't know where I hit it."
A doctor checked her blood pressure as she was lying across chairs beside the court with ice bags around her neck. She got up and broke Dellacqua's serve in the next game, but lost the match.
Poland's Jerzy Janowicz, the 20th seed, looked completely drained during his third-round loss to Germany's Florian Mayer and said later, holding back tears, that his only chance would have been to play at night.
"Whatever he would do today and whatever I would do today doesn't matter," he said. "I had no power to stay on the court. I felt like I'm going to collapse soon."
Top-seeded Serena Williams had an easier time during her 80-minute win over Daniela Hantuchova, but she, too, sought any shade she could between points and later withdrew from the doubles competition with sister Venus before they were scheduled to play their first-round match.
The official reason was an injury to Venus' leg, but Serena admitted she didn't relish the idea of playing another match in the heat.
"I guess it's a relief, but like I say, we love to play doubles," she said.
Although players have blacked out, staggered, hallucinated and vomited on court this week, tournament officials have defended their decision to only halt play once during the four-day heat wave.
Speaking to BBC radio, tournament doctor Tim Wood said that while it may not be "terribly comfortable" to play in these conditions, it's safe from a medical perspective.
"We know that man is well-adapted to exercising in the heat. If you take us back a few thousand years, we evolved on the high plains of Africa chasing antelope for eight hours under these conditions," he was quoted as saying.
Players aren't totally convinced. As if to underscore the increasingly vocal concerns of players, Novak Djokovic tweeted a photo of what appeared to be an egg frying on an outer practice court at the Australian Open.
Above the photo, he wrote: "That's how hot it was. Thank you everybody for being so persistent and passionate about our sport."
At least the heat should be subsiding. The temperature dropped considerably to 32 (90F) during the event matches and lowered again to 23 C (73 F) when rain interrupted the night matches. Saturday's forecast is for a maximum of 23C (73 F).

Francisco Jiménez was 4 when his father dug a hole under the fence separating Mexico and the United States and led his family through to a new life. By age 6, Francisco was working in the fields of California, trying to help the family dig out of poverty as they migrated around the state in search of work.
Life was tough for Francisco, his five brothers and sisters, and his parents. But he was determined to earn an education and help his family make ends meet, even if it meant working 35 hours a week·before and after school·cleaning offices and picking produce at Santa Maria-area ranches on the weekend.
In Breaking Through, the sequel to his award-winning 1997 autobiographical book, The Circuit: Stories from the Life of a Migrant Child, Jiménez takes the reader through his high school years, from his family's deportation to Mexico, to his struggles in English class, to his ultimate acceptance into Santa Clara University.
Forced Out
I lived in constant fear for ten long years, from the time I was four until I was fourteen years old.
It all started back in the late 1940s when Papá, Mamá, my older brother, Roberto, and I left El Rancho Blanco, a small village nestled on barren, dry hills several miles north of Guadalajara, Jalisco, Mexico, and headed to California, hoping to leave our life of poverty behind. I remember how excited I was making the trip on a second-class train traveling north from Guadalajara to Mexicali. We traveled for two days and nights. When we arrived at the United States-Mexico border, Papá told us that we had to cross the barbed-wire fence without being seen by la migra, the immigration officers dressed in green uniforms. During the night we dug a hole underneath the wire wall and wiggled like snakes under it to the other side. "If anyone asks you where you were born," Papá said firmly, "tell them Colton, California. If la migra catches you, they'll send you back to Mexico." We were picked up by a woman whom Papá had contacted in Mexicali. She drove us, for a fee, to a tent labor camp on the outskirts of Guadalupe, a small town on the coast. From that day on, for the next ten years, while we traveled from place to place throughout California, following the crops and living in migrant labor camps, I feared being caught by the Border Patrol.
As I got older, my fear of being deported grew. I did not want to return to Mexico because I liked going to school, even though it was difficult for me, especially English class. I enjoyed learning, and I knew there was no school in El Rancho Blanco. Every year Roberto and I missed months of school to help Papá and Mamá work in the fields. We struggled to make ends meet, especially during the winter, when work was scarce. Things got worse when Papá began to have back problems and had trouble picking crops. Luckily, in the winter of 1957, Roberto found a part-time job working year-round as a janitor at Main Street Elementary School in Santa Maria, California.
We settled in Bonetti Ranch, where we had lived in army barracks off and on for the past few years. My brother's job and mine·thinning lettuce and picking carrots after school and on weekends·helped support our family. I was excited because we had finally settled in one place. We no longer had to move to Fresno at the end of every summer and miss school for two and a half months to pick grapes and cotton and live in army tents or old garages.
But what I feared most happened that same year. I was in my eighth-grade social studies class at El Camino Junior High School in Santa Maria. I was getting ready to recite the preamble to the Declaration of Independence, which our class had to memorize. I had worked hard at memorizing it and felt confident. While I waited for class to start, I sat at my desk and recited it silently one last time:
"We hold these truths to be self-evident: that all men are created equal; that they are endowed by their creator with certain unalienable rights; that among these are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness..."
I was ready.

It isn't so much that Michael Ingrassia doesn't look before he leaps, he just doesn't dwell on it.
"It's funny, but the more I try to focus, the worse I do," the Desert Vista high jumper said.
So, he skips most of the rituals most high jumpers go through and just soars.
"That's the best part about high jumping," Ingrassia said. "It doesn't take that much physical effort. We do a lot of work, but you either have the hops or you don't. I just kind of relax, and I think it's one of the most fun events in track and field."
But the junior's specialty, the 300-meter hurdles, is another story.
"That takes a lot more training," he said. "You have to have the endurance and form. I always had the speed. It was just getting the other stuff down."
Ingrassia announced his presence with authority in the 300-meter hurdles at the state championship last season when he won the event as a relatively unknown sophomore.
"The 300 hurdles is really my best event, more than the high jump," he said. "But when I was a freshman I didn't do well at all."
Ingrassia's older brother, Chris, was also a high jumper and hurdler at Desert Vista, and the younger sibling saw the 300 as a challenge.
"I wanted to beat him in something," Ingrassia said. "I didn't quite do it. I got close, but he edged me out."
Chris won the 300 hurdles at the state meet two years ago, and Michael was third.
Ingrassia has been involved in track and field since sixth grade and his times qualified him for the USA Junior Olympics last summer. He was leading his qualifying race when he hit the final hurdle.
During the fall, Ingrassia, like a lot of the Desert Vista male track and field athletes, also plays football.
The 6-foot-1, 190-pound wide receiver and defensive back has been on the football field since he was in third grade.
"I've always loved football," he said. "I only got into track to keep in shape for football and ended up being good at it."
But Ingrassia said the training routine for the two sports can be more diverse than putting on cleats or spikes.
"There is more endurance in track where football is a lot of hitting that can wear you down and can take a toll," Ingrassia said. "Track is more relaxed. It isn't that we don't train hard, but you don't always have a coach in your face and stuff like that."
Ingrassia doesn't have to worry about Desert Vista co-head coach Chris Manson getting in his face.
"We knew as a freshman that Michael was a pretty special kid," Hanson said.
Now Ingrassia has to make sure he clears those hurdles as well as he clears the high jump bar.


text: I have been using a DIF1 diffuser in my L1200 since I've had it. I also have a DIF2 which I've never used. The DIF1 is only half the thickness of the DIF2 so I have always assumed it gave less diffusion and therefore sharper projection than the DIF2. However, I just held them both upto the light together, and if anything the DIF2 transmits more light and is fractionally less diffuse than the DIF1 which has a milkier perhaps more dense appearance even though it is only half the thickness of the DIF2. I'm just wondering what other peoples experience with these two diffusers is? Just to add for those who are not aware. The 4x5 diffuser which sits directly above the negative on a Femobox 450N. They are exchangeable. One end of the retainer is sprung and you can pull it back to get the diffusion sheet out.

Insurance Rant
Not fly fishing related so going here in general discussion.
Friendly reminder to keep your insurance agent honest. I've been asleep at the wheel , which is odd because I am cheap.
2008 homeowners policy $800 per year
2013 premium, same house , coverage and no claims $2350
2008 auto policy for 2 cars $80 per month
2013 same same except newer cars , even though had new ones in 2008 as well $150 per month
Don't be asleep at the wheel. My buddy just re did his with comparable cars and a house worth 100k more and he is paying $200 per month less than me. Do you realize how many nano fiber , Kevlar lined, 3M nano resin from mars super duper fly rods per year I could buy with this savings....uggggggg
Re: Insurance Rant
Yikees! That is one steep increase, I feel your pain!
Last week I went to Denver to take my son and his family to a Rockies ballgame. He lives in Milliken, CO and told me he got his tax assessment on his house, it jumped $250,000 from last year. He is going to try and protest such a high increase in one year.
Re: Insurance Rant
" I'm an American, and I vote with my wallet "
Sounds like it's time to find a new agent.:eek:
Re: Insurance Rant
My first position after graduation was in the insurance industry. After a year i was done....couldnt look myself in the mirror anymore..
Soooo, i became a banker...........:D
Re: Insurance Rant
I can't stand the insurance industry. They are legalized thieves without control !
I pay more to them than I am taxed for government services. ....and government is what most will point a finger at causing our financial woe.
Sure I can shop my policies but do I have to do it every 6 months. I receive all the discounts from my premiums that are available and still face an increase at renewal.
10-4 :mad:
Re: Insurance Rant
When I moved to MT from NH my auto premiums nearly doubled. Been a long time member of USAA and great institution but switching to Geico saved me $630 a year just in auto for the same coverage. Felt weird parting with USAA after 10 years.
Had my brother do a check on his and he saved about $200 for a six month period. For those that haven't shopped around in a while it's probably worth a look. I'm thinking this savings will transition nicely into a new 7wt for streamer season.
Re: Insurance Rant
The Gecko dropped 50% of of what I was paying for car ins. (Part of it was they have a short view of driving history - for me that's important.)
Re: Insurance Rant
Changed all of our insurance this year and saved HUGE money. I would have been happy with small money and ditching our annoying agent! Life is good!;)
Re: Insurance Rant
Happy for now... but it's early! :)
This seems to be a 3-5 year cycle for us.
Re: Insurance Rant
That little plug in thing under the dash is well worth the 6 months time. My auto insurance premium (and I don't drive that much) dropped by close to 2/3's.
Gather its like a small cell phone sort of thing that reports when you drive, how far you drive, time, speed, etc. A frequent history of high speed breaking is not a good thing. Driving between 11 PM and 3 AM apparently is also not a good thing unless there's a consistant history of such. (Shift work related.)
Don't know if it's still true, but a neighbor up in Washington was a State Patrol Officer. Told me that at 3 AM it was likely that 1 in 3 drivers were 'impared' to one degree or another.
HO also went down a bit but not paying anything like the premiums guys are posting above.

After totaling 246 yards of offense and three touchdowns in a 41-7 win over
San Diego State, TCU quarterback Marcus Jackson has been named the Mountain
West Conference Co-Offensive Player of the Week.
Jackson shares the award with Colorado State running back Gartrell Johnson,
who rushed for 191 yards and three touchdowns in a 41-28 victory against
It's the second time Jackson has received MWC Player of the Week honors. The
first occasion came in his collegiate debut. With TCU trailing Baylor 7-0 at
the half in the 2006 season opener, Jackson came off the bench to complete
11-of-13 passes for 148 yards and two touchdowns to rally the Horned Frogs
to a 17-7 win in Waco.
Against San Diego State, Jackson was making just his second collegiate
start. He rushed for a career-high 131 yards on 27 carries with scoring runs
of 9 and 3 yards. It was his second 100-yard game in the last three
contests. He ran for 115 yards at SMU (Sept. 20).
Jackson completed 10-of-19 passes for 115 yards, including a 3-yard scoring
toss to Shae Reagan.
A junior from Houston, Jackson was instrumental in the Frogs running 90
plays from scrimmage compared to just 41 for the Aztecs. TCU held a 43:29 to
16:31 edge in time of possession.

Engel, Rahaeuser Lead Cross Country Teams Again at Stanford
The women's team had a different top five than usual.
Sept. 29, 2012
Katie Engel and senior Jonathan Rahaeuser led the Pepperdine cross country teams to the finish line as the Waves took part in the Stanford Invitational on Saturday.
The Waves' women had a different top five than usual as Engel (Honeoye Falls, N.Y./Honeoye Falls-Lima HS) was followed by freshman Hannah Turpin (Lebanon, Ohio/Lebanon HS), junior Sarah Attar (Escondido, Calif./Escondido HS), freshman Rachel Rant (Boise, Idaho/Boise HS) and freshman Kami Bates (Lacey, Wash./Northwest Christian HS).
"Katie continues to grow her confidence and speed," Pepperdine Coach Robert Radnoti said. "But our normal two, three and four runners all had problems. Stasia Demick and Kelly Smyth were both knocked down, and Rachel Rant reinjured a sore heel. Those three will be back stronger than ever at the next meet.
"The good news is that it opened the door for Hannah Turpin to move up as our number two runner. She set a nice PR by a half-minute. And Sarah Attar also continues to run one to two minutes faster than previous years. It's exciting to see the team's improvements."
Engel finished in 109th place overall out of a field of 292 runners with a time of 22:46 in the 6K.
On the men's side, Rahaeuser (Irvine, Calif./Calvary Chapel HS) took 189th place out of 265 runners with a time of 27:11 in the 8K. Radnoti was also happy with freshman Jordan Scandlyn (Menlo Park, Calif./Menlo-Atherton HS), who finished 15 seconds behind Rahaeuser.
"Jordan's a bright spot, he continues to make good strides toward becoming a nice Division I runner for Pepperdine," Radnoti said.

I had surgery with lipo 13 days ago, I wanted to know if any PS think everything came out normal? Now it looks like from the backside of me I have "love handles" (flanks), and the skin on the side of me bulges over my incisions.2nd Question: Under my right breast when they stitched me up, left a skin tag. I'm afraid it will ALL stay looking this way. thanks FYI:I also had a tattoo on my lower right side removed when I got my tummy tuck I included photos of my surgery & a before surgery photo

Post breast and tummy tuck surgery
It is a bit early to get too worried. Let things heal and let the swelling go down before getting too nervous. You should wait at least 3-4 months minimum.
Post op photos
You are very early in the postop period and things will change for over six months. Only then should you critique your result. Donald R. Nunn MD Atlanta Plastic Surgeon.
Scars and shape At two weeks after surgery look great
You are only two weeks after surgery. Things may seem wrong and scary to you at this stage however be reassured that at three months you will look great.
After surgery your body goes through a healing phase. Your scars settle down, body shape adjusts itself. Right now when you look at yourself, try to squint and focus away from the details and try to see the overall changes. Scars will smooth and fade, implants will settle down and achieve a more natural position/shape. For two weeks after surgery you look great.

Dr Del Vecchio
2 weeks out from surgery
For two weeks your results look to be right on track. It's always hard to tell from photos alone but your scars have a long way to go. I tell my patients that they really need 6-12 months for scars to soften, lose color, and flatten out. For two weeks your scars look to be in good position and healing well. Ask your PS if they reccomend massage. Your flanks look good but again at two weeks they too will continue to change. As your implants drop this will change your lift scars as well. Patience is a virtue. All the best, Dr Kerr
Normal appearance for 2 weeks post abdominoplasty/implants
you look very good for so soon after mastopexy/augmentation and abdominoplasty, certainly well within what is normal. be patient, the healing process takes many months.ask your surgeon if you have concerns.

Scars change for months after surgery.
For two weeks after surgery you look good. Scars and pleating and irregularities are common early on and tend to flatten over time.Areas of liposuction stay swollen for a number of weeks if not months. Your surgeon will be watching you to be certain you are both pleased with the final outcome. Give it time to see how things settle. you are just at the very begining of the healing process.
Post breast and tummy tuck surgery
I think you are doing well considering that you are only two weeks after your surgery. Both breast and abdominoplasty surgery will look different several months from now. Right now, simply relax and let the normal progression of healing move forward.
Don't hesitate to talk with your local Plastic Surgeon if you have any questions, however.
Good luck.

Mommy Makeover
Dear Mommymakeover20,
You look fine at 13 days. It is not uncommon to have minor swelling, wrinkles, bumps and tags along or near your incisions. Be patient! These irregularities almost always go away with time( several weeks to several months).

Mommy Makeover Results?
Thank you for the question and pictures.
At 13 days postoperatively, I think you are doing very well. it is MUCH too early to evaluate the end results of surgery.
You will likely find that with time much of the irregularity, punching, and "skin tag" look will dissipate. I would suggest continued patience and follow-up with your plastic surgeon.
Best wishes.

Trilogy managing director Matthew Allen told MCV:
"As a company we always said we wanted to work with a limited number of clients and we are not far away from our total target. We are in discussions with a number of publishers and we will be making more announcements in the New Year."
And the firm has predicted that its Trilogyi service will handle a wider product range than ever before in 2008 – and offer indies even better value.
"We are starting to build up a strong relationship with the indies and we will continue to build on this next year and beyond," added Allen. "We will be offering a wider product range next year to help give indies incremental sales."
Trilogy announced in March that it was to provide telesales, marketing and distribution services to indie stores in the UK with its Trilogyi department – and soon secured exclusive accounts with both Ubisoft and Midway.
The move allowed the firm to expand outside of providing logistics, and to take on the big four distributors of Centresoft, Pinnacle, Gem and Koch.
"Setting up Trilogyi was the proudest moment of our year," added Allen. "To see this 18-month project finally launch gave us all a great sense of achievement.
"We had to build it on the premise that we may get contracts and clearly a lot of investment had to be committed beforehand."

This has been one of the great additions of this summer. Have a look at https://svn.enthought.com/enthought/browser/branches/enthought.mayavi_2.0.3a1/examples/standalone.py for a demo of how mayavi is integrated in a traits application.

How different is the mlab within tvtk from that in mayavi2? I more and more think of the mayavi engine as an abstraction over tvtk that allows one to think in terms of data and visualisation rather than in terms of VTK objects. The mayavi2 application is a GUI around the mayavi2 engine. The example above exposes the engine without the GUI, allowing you to use its nice API and features in you own app. Mlab is a simplied API for Mayavi that tries to mimic pylab/matlab. The calls are really simple and easy to learn. However, due to a design error on my side, mlab cannot be used in a standalone way, ie to integrate in an existing WxPython app. This will be changed, just give me a month or two (not that there is a huge amount of work, but that I am very busy). It is much easier to add features to mayavi's mlab than to tvtk's. Moreover, with mayavi's mlab you can pop up the UI to edit the pipeline in your own app, you also have the engine API that you can access, and this is great to update/modify a visualization. I think the big difference between the two is the presence of the mayavi2 engine, which give a nice abstraction on the visulization. As a result, mayavi's mlab already has more features than tvtk's, altought some features of tvtk's mlab are missing (mainly the ability to run in standalone). HTH, Gaël
