Aparna Choudhary | Married to the marathon
Even when the Pune ultra runner is not racing or training, she is constantly thinking about running
Aparna Choudhary wanted to be a hockey player—it was the sport she chose when in boarding school. But the dream somehow unravelled quickly when she was in college in Jaipur. A heavy defeat in a university match and some other circumstances took the fun away from it. Left without an activity, she switched from running up and down a pitch to running around it. Soon it was a run on a 900m stretch of road near her home and then it became an obsession. This was, of course, some time ago.
In July, the 34-year-old became the first Indian to be invited to run the 222km La Ultra-The High—the race through Ladakh with extreme temperature changes, and less than half the oxygen available, compared to sea level. She was disqualified early because she took 6 minutes extra for the first 48km (7 hours, 6 minutes), but continued to finish in 59 hours, 27 minutes. It was still easier than the time she ran The Thar Ultra. In April 2012, she ran near Pokhran, Rajasthan, in over 40 degrees Celsius—100 miles (around 160km) in 33 hours. "Wherever I run, I think of that race and believe how much easier this one is," she says. "It was miserable; there was no shade anywhere. I wanted to cry but was so dehydrated that I could not find the tears." The only woman among five racers, she finished second.
Why does the Pune-based business analyst with IT solutions company SunGard India do it then?
"I don't have an answer," Choudhary says. "If you ask me 10 times during different points of a day what I am thinking, nine times I would say, running. Every time you see me staring into blank space, I am thinking about running."
Running got a new meaning, as a concept, when Choudhary was in Philadelphia, US, on a project for Tata Consultancy Services (TCS) from 2006-09. An acquaintance suggested she participate in the 10-mile Blue Cross Broad Street Run. But as someone used to doing only around 4 miles, the sudden jump made her feel like her "lungs would pop out".
Other runs followed—a half marathon in Philadelphia, an 18-mile run in New Jersey, US—before she came back to India in November 2009 to find out about the Bangalore Ultra marathon. She managed to run 75km next November. Bhati Lakes in National Capital Region in October 2011 was 160km—"towards the end, I was walking with my eyes closed," she says. Uttarkashi was 220km in September 2012 completed in 45 hours, 27 minutes and another 100km was accomplished in December 2012 at Nilgiris 100 in 14 hours, 59 minutes.
"THE FIRST RUN: Aparna Choudhary's first long run was a 13-mile half marathon in Philadelphia in November 2007 in freezing rain. 'As I heard the words announced that this was the end of the half marathon, I have never felt happier.At that point, i did not know you can stop or walk if you like during the race. i thought you had to run all the way.'"
"On long distances, I try to think of funny things, but that lasts an hour. Initially, I want to maintain a pace, but after 20 hours I just want to crawl," she says, laughing. "It's better not to think about running when you are running," she says.
But Choudhary unwittingly answers an earlier question, about why she runs. "When I say the time does not matter but it's important to finish…that's hypocritical. Finishing well is a moment of indescribable joy. The break you get after a run, nothing is better deserved in life."

Sunita Tummalapalli | Racing through the year
The Hyderabad runner is ticking off a marathon a month, and loving every minute of it
In January, the Mumbai Marathon. February brings the Auroville run. A forest trail through Corbett in March. The flat asphalt of Chandigarh in April, where a personal best—4 hours 53 minutes—is set. Up the steep course, through misty pine forests, of Sangla Valley in Himachal Pradesh for the Himalayan Marathon in May.
So Sunita Tummalapalli, a 44-year-old homemaker from Hyderabad, marks the passing of the months—by running a marathon.
Last year, Tummalapalli and her closest friend, both amateur runners, decided that they would do at least one 30km run a month, just as a personal challenge. They did that. This year, they thought of raising the bar—at least 40km every month.
"Then we realized that's just a couple of kilometres short of the marathon distance, so why not try and run 12 marathons in 12 months?" Tummalapalli says.
In June, a visit to the US to meet her son, who is in college there, coincided with the Minneapolis Marathon. She threw in the San Francisco Marathon for good measure (because she was close by). In July, she was back in India, running the high-altitude Ladakh Marathon. Though she could not find a race to suit her plans this month, she will make up for it by running two in September, in Wisconsin and Illinois, both trail runs, the kind she loves. Then it's on to the venerable Chicago Marathon, one of the six World Marathon Majors, so she can be with her husband, who divides his working time between Hyderabad and Chicago. Istanbul follows, and finally, a homecoming of sorts with the Chennai Marathon in December.
"It can't get better," Tummalapalli says. "I'm getting to travel like I've never done before, and I'm getting to go to places—all these trails and forests and mountains—that I would probably never go to otherwise."
Most people take weeks to recover from a long-distance race, and a marathon-a-month can break the hardiest of runners, but not Tummalapalli. Since she first began running in 2008, Tummalapalli has come to learn about her body and its limitations in sharp detail. She knows she recovers faster than most people from running fatigue; or that the traditional high-carb marathoner's diet doesn't work for her, but lots of fruits and vegetables do just fine.
"The way I'm doing it, every run is getting better," she says. "It's almost as if the previous marathon is a training run for the next one. So every race I enjoy a bit more than the last one, feel a bit faster, and fitter."
Her family and friends keep her going. In 2011, when she hesitated about running in the New Zealand ASICS Kepler Challenge, a 60km mountain ultra, because of the time and money needed, her husband secretly registered her.
"He takes on all the responsibilities of the house when I have to run," Tummalapalli says. "I cursed him through the training for the New Zealand Ultra though, when I had to start running at 3.30am, and he slept soundly."
It was worth it, of course, she is the only person of Indian origin to have completed the race in its 25 years of existence. But the sweetest reward was when she found out that she was a celebrity in her nine-year-old daughter's school after she ran the Everest Marathon in 2011 (she has three children).
"THE FIRST RUN: It was in 2008, a half marathon in Hyderabad, on a whim, after watching runners compete in the Everest Marathon when she had gone on a trek to the region. I made the classic mistake and ran really fast in the beginning to keep up with people,and within the first 2km, my shins started hurting badly. I finished the race, but I suffered through it."
"I had no idea that she was bragging about me at school till I went there one day for a meeting," she says. "Then all her friends started coming to me, excited, and asked me 'you ran on Everest?'"

Ram Viswanathan | There's nothing like a marathon
From the mountain trails of Zermatt to the ghettos of Durban and the 'Big Six', IBM's chief technical officer combines running with travel.
Ram Viswanathan, chief technical officer at IBM, travels a lot for work. The first thing he does when he knows the dates of his next trip is look up the race calendar to see if there's a marathon at the same time within a 50km radius of wherever he is headed. Family visits or holidays get the same treatment. "I would rather be running than doing anything else," Viswanathan says. "For me the best way to travel is on foot. It gives me a tremendous world view—running through the mountain trails of Zermatt, or the ghettos of Durban."
Running came to Viswanathan, 50, accidentally. He had come back to India from the US in 2005, and was complaining to his family, one night over dinner, about the lack of outdoor sporting activities in Chennai. He used to be a skater in the US. His son, then 13, told him about a poster he had seen in school advertising a "marathon" in Chennai. "It turned out to be a 10K run," Viswanathan says, "but I went and ran it. And that was the beginning." Within a year, he had set up an informal group of runners. That circle of friends has now extended to over 1,500 members, and the group, Chennai Runners, organized the city's first international marathon last year in December.
Viswanathan himself has run 43 marathons so far, and is on course to completing the "Big Six". Boston, Chicago, Berlin and London are done. Next year, it's New York and Tokyo.
"Running has become the family mantra now," Viswanathan says. "My wife, who has never run in her life, started last year. My son and my daughter both run. My mother is quite the sight, running 10K races in saris."
Viswanathan too has clocked his fair share of mileage this year—seven already, including the London Marathon in April, and a gruelling trail run in Zermatt, Switzerland, in May.
"THE FIRST RUN: The first long-distance race Viswanathan took part in was the 2005 Singapore Marathon, a run he squeezed in between two working trips, one in Macau and the other in Australia. 'I had prepared for it, and thought it would be a relaxed run,' he says.But i was in a plane 24 hours before the race, and in a plane 12 hours after the race. that was tough."
While the London Marathon was a dream come true, the trail run at Zermatt was one of the toughest Viswanathan has ever done. "Trail marathons are lonely, extremely rugged runs," he says. "The ground is uneven, the ascent was more than 6,500ft over the course. There were roots popping out of the ground everywhere, streams to be crossed—trail running just makes you tougher."
He needs all the lessons in toughness he can get. At this year's Comrades Marathon, a brutal 89km ultra in Durban, South Africa, an old heel injury flared up yet again. He had to give up 10km from the finishing line. For weeks, he could not put his heel down even to walk. "Comrades is unfinished business," Viswanathan says. "I went last year and could not finish. I had to pull out this year. I need to fix this heel, and try again."

Bhupendrasing Rajput | The last man on his feet
The Pune runner does not follow conventions, but runs for the sense of freedom it offers
It's almost as if Bhupendrasing D. Rajput was born to run and his inherent desire for peace and solitude, a perfect partner for the lonely sport of long-distance running.
Yet, the senior sales manager from Thermax Ltd, Pune, busts all myths associated with running these days. His diet is not especially protein-rich, his training schedule is non-existent, he has no particular routine and he has never had injuries. He runs on a whim, he is not competitive, and shows up for events not carrying weeks of preparation but just his curiosity.
Rajput, 44, was working in Mumbai in 2005 when he happened to spot a sign for the Standard Chartered Mumbai Marathon on a bus. He thought of giving it a shot. Initial training started in Joggers' Park in Andheri, where he would run a few staggered hundred metres. He ran the 2006 half marathon in Mumbai in 2 hours, 33 minutes, which triggered the passion in him. He reckons his ability to run owes its origin to a childhood spent on open fields in rural Maharashtra. There, free from boundaries, shoes and competitors, he would run for sheer joy, or necessity to travel from one place to another. The outdoor bug built a stamina whose reserves run deep, which is one reason, he says, he has never had to try too hard.
Two more half marathons followed in Mumbai before Rajput switched to the marathon in 2009. Since then, he has done more than 20 marathons in the country but that was never going to be enough. By 2011, he had concluded that around four-and-a-half hours would be his "bandwidth", till someone mentioned a 150km run in Pune.
"How does 150km work? I was curious. Thought if it doesn't work, I would go back home," he says. He returned home after chugging on for 23 hours, having completed the race which set new personal boundaries.
Others followed—Bhati Lakes in October 2011 outside Delhi, 160km in 27 hours, 28 minutes; 200km in January 2012 near Munnar, Kerala, in 26 hours, 10 minutes; 160km in April 2012 through nearly 40 degrees Celsius near Pokhran, Rajasthan, in over 30 hours—winning all in respective categories. "In Pokhran, running in the night through deserts, you can lose your way. You have to follow the signs, which are these red ribbons tied on bushes. You are looking for them with a hand-held torch. It's easy to miss them because for long distances, there may not be any bushes," he says.
"THE FIRST RUN: When he went for the 2006 Standard Chartered Mumbai Marathon, having never run any such race, Rajput turned up like he would for work—in a shirt, trousers and leather shoes. When he looked around, he realized that it might help to get the right gear. He completed the run, but before the next one, he got running shoes."
Rajput's mind switches off, in a way that can be best described as hypnotized. "I may look at you, but I may not even see you," the engineer adds. "Physically, there are several better runners but mentally they may not be able to push the boundaries."
Running, he says, gets his mind off daily problems and gives him the space a city cannot. "I carry no concerns of the world. If the rupee is falling or someone is calling for work, it does not matter.
"Running," says the bachelor with a smile, "is perhaps also a substitute for loneliness."

Anuradha Vaidyanathan | Ironwoman
There's no race tough enough for this Bangalore runner and triathlete, the only Asian person to have completed the brutal Ultraman triathlon
Running is many things for Anuradha Vaidyanathan. When she first started, back in 2003, it was a way to beat the stress of a demanding engineering programme at a top US college (and to fit into tighter, shorter clothes). It evolved into a personal adventure—the excitement of midnight training, the secret thrill of watching the body grow stronger, the rush of pushing past one's physical limits. Then it became an opportunity to shine, to be part of an elite field of amateur athletes taking on extreme endurance challenges, and the buzz of being from a country typically not represented at those events. The 32-year-old from Bangalore was the first person from India to complete an Ironman Triathlon—a 3.8km swim, followed by a 180km bike ride and a marathon on the same day—back in 2006 (she has competed in four more Ironmans and seven Half-Ironmans since then). In 2009, when she finished sixth at Ultraman Canada, a three-day triathlon comprising a 10km swim, 420km of biking, and a 84.4km run, she was the first person from Asia to do so (she remains the only one).
She has done over 50 races now—marathons, triathlons, and ultras—and the pleasures of being a pioneer has transformed into quieter, more serious motivations, like using the races as a platform to speak about equal access and gender rights. Vaidyanathan now raises funds for Educate Girls, an NGO that works for the education and social empowerment of women in rural Rajasthan, through her races.
"The one thing that does not change is the adventure of it all," Vaidyanathan says. "And the incredible relationship I have with the outdoors and with nature."
Though Vaidyanathan, who runs her own intellectual property management firm, got into sports in college in the US, it was only when she moved back to India in 2005 that she began to train seriously for extreme races.
"That in itself was an adventure, the training in India," she says. "There is so little infrastructure. Access to stadiums was not easy, and they did not have changing rooms or loos for women." The training involved waking up every morning at 3.30, so she could get her long bike ride done before the traffic became impossible.
"Just after I moved back, I was living with my parents for a few months," Vaidyanathan says. "My parents were puzzled by my training schedule, but kept out of it. One day, my father could not help himself and after I left in the morning for my bike ride, he followed me in his car."
"THE FIRST RUN: Vaidyanathan does not remember her first long run, though it happened sometime in college, when she was 18 or 19. She did it to impress a friend. 'The one thing I do remember,' she says, 'is that throughout that first race, all I thought of was— what will my friend say when I tell him I finished the race?"
But soon, he lost sight of her on the highway, and decided to stop the car and wait. On her way back, Vaidyanathan spotted her father's car parked by the side of the road.
"At first, I thought I was delirious," she says. "Then I went up to him and asked him 'what are you doing here?' He had the same question for me. We had a good laugh about it."

United send Paul Scholes to watch Huddersfield starlet Jordan Rhodes
Manchester United have stepped up their interest in Huddersfield striker Jordan Rhodes, after sending newly appointed scout
Paul Scholes to run the rule over the free-scoring 21-year-old.
Scholes was in the stands at the Galpharm Stadium last night, where Rhodes found the net once again, as Huddersfield drew 2-2 with Scunthorpe United.
The strike was Rhodes' ninth in his last four matches for the Terriers, while a hat-trick for Scotland's Under-21's in-between means he has 12 goals in five matches for club and country, in a remarkable purple patch.
That superb form has led to increased speculation about Rhodes' future, with a host of Premier League clubs now increasing their interest in the powerful hitman, who bagged 22 strikes in all competitions last term.
Sir Alex Ferguson has since been put on to the player by Scotland Under-21 boss Billy Stark, and with United loanee Oliver Norwood also in action last night, he instructed newly appointed scout Scholes to take a closer look and report back.
However, should Ferguson decide to push ahead with a bid, it's likely to take up to £5 million to secure his services, after Huddersfield chairman Dean Hoyle warned off interested parties last week.

Strengthening Women's Rights in New York
From the time of Susan B. Anthony and Elizabeth Cady Stanton, New York State has had a long and proud history as a national leader with respect to women's rights.
Building upon this legacy, the State Senate took action today on two bills designed to further protect and enhance the rights of women in New York.
These measures are key components of the State Senate's Women's Equality Agenda -- a groundbreaking series of nine bills that will empower women and break down barriers that perpetuate discrimination and inequality based on gender.
The first measure, S.5879B, tackles the devastating and deplorable human rights violation that is human trafficking. The "Trafficking Victims Protection and Justice Act" enhances protections for victims of human trafficking and sexual exploitation, especially children. The bill will also hold accountable the criminal buyers and traffickers who are fueling the growth of this reprehensible underground industry.
The second measure, S.5880, would require employers in New York State to accommodate the needs of pregnant women in the workplace, helping to ensure the protection of their full rights under the law.
It took a bipartisan effort in the State Senate to pass these important bills, but we still need the State Assembly to take action so that they can become law.
That's why I hope you will join my effort to encourage the Assembly's Democrat leadership to do the right thing and stop holding the Women's Equality Agenda hostage to partisan politics.
Women throughout New York State have waited long enough. It's time to finally pass the State Senate's Women's Equality Agenda into law.
For additional details on the Women's Equality Agenda, please visit: www.nysenate.gov/video/2013/sep/18/strengthening-womens-rights-new-york.
Warmest regards,
Senator Cathy Young

Raleigh, N.C. — North Carolina would prune the complex web of regulations that agencies turn state and federal laws into administration action under a bill sponsored by Rep. Tom Murry, R-Wake, and Ruth Samuelson, R-Mecklenburg.
"For every rule, there's someone who has to live with it," Murry told the newly formed House Regulatory Reform Committee Wednesday morning.
"This is a broad, sweeping bill," Murry said, explaining that House Bill 74 is only a first draft and that it would likely change as the session went on. However, he said, the state needs to begin reviewing the nearly 23,000 administrative rules on the books to figure out which ones are necessary and which ones merely pose problems for business.
"Many of them (the rules) haven't had proper sunsetting or sunshine in many years," Murry said.
When the General Assembly passes a law, it often doesn't set specific requirements for how that law is carried out. For example, the legislature requires restaurant sanitation inspections and licensing for child care centers. However, the exact standards for what constitutes a clean restaurant or a high-quality day care were set by rules drafted by agencies.
As currently drafted, Murry's bill would require all rules to be reviewed over the next four years. It would then set up a periodic review every 10 years.
Samuelson said the bill could change so that, instead of having to review all rules, agencies could focus in on rules that were causing problems.
"We need to find a way to implement this in a way that targets the ones we most need to target," she said.
The bill was well-received by committee Republicans, like Marilyn Avila, R-Wake, who had served on a committee that toured the state gathering input about regulations.
"So many times we hear, 'I don't mind a rule, but this one, there's no reason for it, but I have to obey it because it's there,'" Avila said.
Others were concerned that the bill might be too broad a rule and wipe away needed regulations.
"I'm concerned about these delegated programs where we're under a federal mandate," said Rep. Pricey Harrison, D-Greensboro. The state could end up wiping away rules required by the federal government.

Dani Alves' Barcelona Career in Doubt as Juan Cuadrado Chase Heats UpAugust 11, 2014
If Barcelona get Juan Guillermo Cuadrado, it could spell the end of Dani Alves' career in Catalonia.
The Brazilian full-back is still a high-quality player, and if Barcelona end up with him at the end of the transfer window it would not be a disaster.
But at times last season it seemed as if he took matters into his own hands without paying enough regard to the actions of the team as a whole.
It was not uncommon to see Alves flying up the right and not putting enough effort in getting back to defend when needed.
What's more, he launched in several wasteful crosses and shots from the right flank.
Whether he was told to do that by Tata Martino or just decided to himself is not known.
He was carefree when speaking after matches in the mixed zone, saying controversial things frequently.
Cuadrado is far more likely to listen to new manager Luis Enrique and is also a hungrier player, starved of success, unlike Alves.
The 26-year-old Colombian was an impressive performer at the World Cup, where he played on the right wing.
Even though he would be expected to start at right-back for Barcelona, that is not too different for most games at the Camp Nou.
The Blaugrana are usually camped in the opposition's half, so Cuadrado could be useful in unlocking tough defences.
Then, if a more standard full-back is required for tough away trips, there is Martin Montoya.
He stalled under Martino, but Enrique will be hopeful of getting the defender to progress once more.
Barcelona sporting director Andoni Zubizarreta said on Monday, at the unveiling of Thomas Vermaelen, that at the moment there was no clear exit route for Dani Alves.
As per Sport, Zubizarreta told a press conference:
Alves has a contract with Barcelona. In no moment have have we spoke with him about leaving.
He is training with the team - it is as simple as that.
We don't have any information that makes us think things might happen [for Alves to leave].
However, this is football and things can change. We are working with him as with any other player in the squad, though, and his work since returning has been very good.
However, his words make it seem like if Barcelona can find somewhere for him to move, they will.
Alves wants to keep playing top-level football, and Barcelona are struggling to find a team that requires a right-back and can afford one of his calibre.
Zubizarreta did say that he was still trying to secure the best squad possible by the end of the transfer window, which is a hint at the chance of Cuadrado arriving.
Asked about Cuadrado he said, per Sport:
The clubs is very happy with what we have.
If we can improve the squad, we will do it.
We always work to have the best possible squad, for the manager to have the best possible options - we want the best squad on August 31.
Football is an uncertain world and the market is still open, but I will not name names.
Barcelona love players with versatility; the outfield players they have signed this season shows that.
Ivan Rakitic can play as a No. 10, a central midfielder, or even a creative pivot, while both Jeremy Mathieu and Thomas Vermaelen are comfortable on the left, with the latter even featuring in defensive midfield on infrequent occasions.
Cuadrado fits the bill on this front, and at 26 has many years ahead of him, while Alves is past his best.
Barcelona will be sad to see one of the key figures in their past successes leave, but Dani Alves may have reached the end of the line at the club.

South suburb doing away with terrorism warning signs
A south suburb of Chicago plans to take down signs that alert residents to the current terrorism threat level. That's after the feds announced they were scrapping the color-coded system.
It may seem a bit out of place driving through Country Club Hills to see big signs reading "Homeland Security Advisory System."
"I think there's five ratings, and you fly a flag above it corresponding with the rating," said Dwight Welch, mayor of County Club Hills, which is about 25 miles south of Chicago's downtown.
Welch said the signs went up shortly after the 2001 attacks. He said he did not expect his city with a population less than 17,000 to be targeted, but he said his residents should know the risks.
"Any given day, I would say that 50-percent of my citizens are employed in downtown Chicago," Welch said. "The impact would be devastating...if there were an event there to the kids in town and their parents."
Welch, though, is not so concerned that he wants to keep the signs up with the new system from the Department of Homeland Security, which trades in the five color codes for two threat levels: elevated and imminent.
"This one it seems like they're shooting from the hip," Welch said.
For now, Welch has ordered Country Club Hills staff to take down the signs.


text: On 24 January, the Ukrainian Ministry of Defence presented its financial plans for 2012. According to the budget law, 16.4 billion hryvnia (US$2.04 billion) will be allocated for military purposes, an increase of 20% on last year. The Armed Forces' current operation has been allocated up to 35% more money than in 2011. The greatest increase in expenditure – of up to four times – will go towards the technical modernisation of the armed forces (up to US$185 million). These measures will allow for the modernisation of 21 combat aircraft, 5 helicopters, and 612 tanks and armoured combat vehicles. The Ukrainian army will also receive 10 new Oplot tanks (the first 10 were delivered in December 2011). In addition, expenditure on the development of armaments and military equipment will double (to US$293 million), including work (started in 2011) on building a new 58250-type prototype corvette (expenditure on this ship has risen by five times, and this year it will amount to US$54.2 million); completing work on the prototype An-70 transport plane; and developing the new Sapsan missile system. The beginning of this modernisation process is linked to a further reduction in the numbers of the Ukrainian army. At the end of 2011 it had 192,000 personnel (including 144,000 military personnel); by 2017 it is projected to number 130,000 employees in total, both soldiers and civilian.

Listening to the rolling EDM sounds of Canadian duo Adventure Club, one might be hard-pressed to hear elements of the group's roots in the emotive rush of pop-punk and hardcore music.
Taking to Christian Srigley and Leighton James about the band's upcoming debut album, however, there's a good chance those rock-leaning influences will shine through, thanks to some proposed collaborations on the full-length.
"We're going to collab again with Yuna," James revealed when asked about the status of the album, referring to the vocalist who appears on such previously released Adventure Club tracks as "Gold" and "Lullabies." "We're going to collab with some of our friends from the pop-punk hardcore scene. Maybe Tyler Carter from Issues, maybe Oliver (Sykes) from Bring Me the Horizon. As far as the other guys go, I don't think we're really at liberty to say just yet."
While there's no release date set for the album's release, the duo have been hard at work on it, saying that they've got "a lot laid out, we just have to finalize the tracks."
In the meantime, fans can catch Adventure Club on tour this summer, with dates including stops at the Global Dance Festival in both Colorado (July 18) and Kansas City (July 19) and Chicago's North Coast Music Festival (August 30). See the band's current itinerary here.
Watch the guys discuss some of their favorite places to play, how they differ as DJs and more in the above video interview.

THE first ever Anglesey Wetlands Festival is being held in Gors Goch National Nature Reserve this weekend.
Visitors to the first outing of the festival will have the chance experience one of the island's special areas for wildlife, which neighbours Llanbedrgoch and Benllech.
Made up of two sessions - the first session will run between 12pm-5.30pm and will include a range of activities, including guided walks, storytelling, nature displays/models, bushcraft and 'edible hedgerow' activities, as well as facepainting and much more.
The second sessions will be held between 7pm-9.30pm, which will include live music from local folk group Dawnswyr Bro Cefni and a twilight walk through the wetlands with local tales of mystery to fit the scene.
The event is being held as part of Mawndir Mon, an Anglesey Wildlife Forum run, Welsh-Government-funded project which seeks to help conserve and raise awareness of Anglesey's special wetlands.
Speaking on behalf of the event steering group, David Cowley, of Anglesey County Council, said: "A lot of work has gone into organising this special, free event.
"There's a great line-up of activities - under canvas as well as outside - and all with the superb wildlife features which make this site internationally important as centrepiece."
The event takes place this Saturday, July 26.
For details of how to find the event site and car park, visit the Anglesey Wetland Festival Facebook page or email Graham Cruickshank firstname.lastname@example.com.

How do i qualify for loan modification
Understanding Debt-To-Income Ratio
When applying for a loan modification, your debt-to-income (DTI) ratio is the key to calculating an affordable house payment. President Obama's foreclosure prevention plan sets the target front-end DTI for the first mortgage at 31 percent. In other words, your house payment or PITIA (principal, interest, taxes, insurance, and homeowner association fees) cannot exceed 31 percent of your gross monthly income. The DTI ratio comes in two flavors:
- Front-end DTI ratio is based on your house payment. (Under the Obama plan, the front-end DTI target of 31 percent accounts only for the first mortgage. If you other loans against your home, such as a second mortgage or home equity line of credit, you account for those separately as part of your back-end DTI.)
- Back-end DTI ratio is based on all monthly debt payments combined, including your house payment, credit card payments, payments on auto loans, and other loan payments.
Calculating Your Front-End DTI Ratio
To calculate your front-end DTI, divide your house payment by your gross monthly household income:
House Payment / Gross Monthly Household Income = Front-End DTI Ratio
This is easy, assuming your monthly house payment includes a monthly amount held in escrow to pay your property taxes, homeowner's insurance, and any homeowner association fees. Such a payment is often referred to as PITIA (principal, interest, taxes, insurance, and association fees). You simply divide your PITIA amount by your gross monthly household income.
If you pay property taxes, insurance, and homeowner association fees separately, then add them all up, divide by 12 months, and add the result to your monthly house payment (principal and interest). You can then divide the resulting house payment by your gross monthly household income to determine your front-end DTI ratio.
Note: Private mortgage insurance (PMI) payments fall outside this calculation under President Obama's guidelines.
Calculating Your Back-End DTI Ratio
To calculate your back-end
DTI ratio, add up all your monthly debt payments, including:
- House payment or PITIA, as discussed in the previous section
- Any payments on second mortgages, home-equity loans, or home-equity lines of credit
- Credit card payments
- Auto loan or lease payments
- Alimony
- Other payments on credit accounts or loans
Now, divide your total monthly debt payments by your total gross monthly household income:
Monthly Debt Payments / Gross Monthly Household Income = Back-End DTI Ratio
Exploring DTI Ratios Under Obama's Foreclosure Prevention Plan
The government's Home Affordable Modification Program accounts for both front-end and back-end DTI ratios. When attempting to reach the 31% Target Front-End DTI, the focus is only on the first mortgage:
- For qualifying homeowners, the lender will have to first reduce payments on the first mortgage to no greater than a 38 percent front-end DTI ratio. Treasury will match further reductions in monthly payments dollar-for-dollar with the lender/investor, down to a 31 percent front-end DTI ratio.
- Borrowers who qualify for a modification but would have a post-modification back-end DTI ratio greater than or equal to 55 percent, will be provided with a letter stating that they are required to work with a HUD-approved counselor. The modification will not take effect until they provide a signed statement indicating that they will obtain counseling.
Keep in mind that only lenders, investors, and servicers who choose to participate in this program are bound by its guidelines and that the guidelines may change over time. Your lender may have its own DTI ratio targets and limitations.
I encourage you to consult with a qualified third-party representative who has experience in loan modifications to assist you in determining what your lender's DTI-ratio targets and limitations are. Although you can negotiate directly with your lender, you really should have representation of your own to protect your interests.Source: www.keepmyhouse.com

January 13th, 2009, 04:55 PM #1Web2Cars - number on site and lowered payout
Hey - Just wondering if anyone here has worked with web2carz. They are fairly new to cj.com. I started with them and did ok, but i am considering dropping them soon for several reasons
1) they lowered their payout from $6.25 to $4.00 (also, as soon as they lowered their payout i my conversions suddently plummetted... which seems odd. Am i being paranoid, but how does one's conversion rate suddenly plummed one day by about 7% points?)
2) there is a phone number posted on the site! (apply by phone) and no phone tracking
3) I didnt quality for the performance incentive which stated that for actions above 100 one would get 10% -- well the merchant says that invalid transactions lowered my total below the 100. This could be entirely true, but I have no way of knowing! And i just don't feel comfortable with that.
Any suggestions as to who else to work with. I am in the bad credit auto loan niche.
What has your experience been thus far??

I'm sitting in 'Computer Science Unplugged: CS Activities For K–12 Beyond Programming' a session at NECC being given by Tom Cortina and Tim Bell. They are talking about the exercises in the Computer Science Unplugged book. They just opened a new version of their website today.
CS Unplugged is very interactive so of course the workshop is as well. We've had several interactive exercises that have involved people working at the front of the room. I like this technique because it is a great step away from the old fashioned "pundit on the platform" form of teaching that is so common not only at conferences but in the classroom.
Right now the people in the front of the room are working on a deadlock exercise. This is a concept that can be difficult to understand but I think this activity is really a great way to make the concept more real and less abstract.
These exercises really make me wish I had a class to try these exercises out.
A reminder that there is a CS4HS workshop this summer. Information at http://www.cs.cmu.edu/cs4hs The ideas in CS Unplugged are taught in those workshops.

News Headed to Sentara? Consider a Face Mask
WOODBRIDGE, Va. –– If you walk into a Sentara medical facility you're should consider a new accessory for your face.
Starting this past Tuesday, patients, visitors, and medical staff at Sentara Northern Virginia Medical Center in Woodbridge, Sentara Lake Ridge, and Sentara Lorton, will be encouraged to wear a face masks. The move will curb the spread of the flu, officials said.
The move comes as influenza is noted as widespread throughout Virginia, and at a time when flu season is at its peak.
Those coming in for appointments to see physicians, or those who are visiting family members in the hospital will also be encouraged to also wear masks. Even if you had a flu shot, masks are still encouraged by the hospital.
More in a press release:
Medical evidence suggests infected persons can transmit the virus as much as 24 hours before displaying symptoms. This recommendation will help protect patients, visitors, and staff from exposure to flu, even before symptoms occur.
Our goal as health care providers is to use every available and appropriate measure to protect the community, our patients, visitors, family members, and staff at medical facilities from exposure to outside infections. Masks and hand sanitizer will be provided at most facility entrances for public use.
Hospitals and health systems are also asking individuals displaying symptoms of influenza-like illness not to visit patients at area hospitals. Symptoms of flu include: fever and respiratory illness such as cough, sore throat, runny or stuffy nose, muscle aches, chills, and sometimes vomiting and diarrhea.
*An earlier version of this story stated masks would be required but a correction was made to reflect the medical center's policy of strongly encouraging the wearing of face masks, not requiring them.

This is a terrible article. The nuclear industry has been under siege? Nice framing. The "industry" deserves to be under siege. There is no such thing as safe nuclear. The toxic life of spent fuel, no resource, is millions upon millions of years. Spent fuel comes out of reactors 1,000,000x MORE radioactive than the Uranium dioxide that goes into the reactor. Spent fuel then continues to become MORE radioactive for the next 250,000 years or longer. Why do nuclear power plants need to even change out the fuel in the first place? It's changed out because it starts to have too much of the most toxic and reactive substance on the planet, with water and air, Plutonium, 2 million times more radioactive than anything else. Also, Plutonium is a nice neutron generator. Spent fuel also has a significant quantities of U-235, also a neutron generator. What's the problem with U-235 and Plutonium if it happens to get a little too warm, a little too wet or a little too much O2? Well, Fukushima Cataclysm on 10 months of absolutely uncontained coriums from no less than three reactors that fully melted down, out and through their containments. Study Chernobyl to learn what we're NOT being told about Fukushima or about nuclear power spent fuel that you absolutely better learn about and need to know. Documentary: "Chernobyl Heart" will set you straight to start.

According to the Washington Business Journal, earlier this month district officials and developers with major holdings along the proposed streetcar system traveled to Portland Oregon. The group met with meet managers of the Portland system and property owners who helped finance the Rose City's streetcar line.
The WBJ article collects impressions from several major developers, including the Wilkes Company which counts Mount Vernon Place project in the Triangle among its holdings.
The Wilkes Company's Sandy Wilkes, already a fan of streetcars, said he was further impressed by the residential occupancy and retail leasing rates along the Portland tracks. "There's been a level of economic activity that is probably greater than they had even forecasted," he said. His company plans mixed-use developments for Mount Vernon Triangle and NoMa, and Wilkes said the walkability, cleanliness, and ultimately value, of both those projects would be enhanced by streetcar lines. "There is something about the streetcar experience that is so appealing," he said.

Staying Up to Date with OSHA Compliance, Regulations
Aug 19, 2014
Employers are responsible for keeping up to date with the standards relevant to them and making sure all employees are likewise up to date with procedures as well as trained on proper safety equipment relevant to their duties. Here are a number of sources that can help you find the latest regulatory information. Staying up to date with Occupational Safety and Health Administration standards and regulations can not only ensure the safety of your company and your employees, it can save you from fines and the possibility of being shut down. As just one example, OSHA recently had to issue two citations to an Oklahoma-based cellphone tower company for multiple safety violations that caused the death of two employees and a volunteer firefighter after a cell tower collapsed during a routine maintenance. The citations were issued after an OSHA investigation found that important key structural members were removed and not properly braced, which caused the structure to be too weak to safely support the added weight of the workers, their safety gear, as well as tools and supplies to complete their tasks. A $7,000 fine was issued for each violation - the maximum amount allowed by law for serious OSHA violations. OSHA is responsible for promoting and carrying out standards that are legally enforced by both state and federal agencies. The requirements, introduced through outreach, education, training, and assistance, may apply to means, methods, or practices that are both necessary and reasonable to meet to ensure healthful working conditions. Employers are responsible for keeping up to date with the standards relevant to them and making sure all employees are likewise up to date with procedures as well as trained on proper safety equipment relevant to their duties. Under the Occupational Safety and Health Act, states and territories can adopt occupational safety and health plans that are approved federally. State job safety and health plans that meet minimum OSHA requirements become OSHA-approved state plans and receive partial funding by the federal government. These states and territories are also required to cover employees in the public sector, which are not covered federally by OSHA. Currently, 22 states and territories have adopted their own occupational safety and health plans. New York, Connecticut, Illinois, New Jersey, and the Virgin Islands cover employees in the public sector only. Although OSHA sends out compliance officers across the United States to inspect 7 million work sites and enforce regulations annually, it cannot be everywhere. While employees report workplace safety issues and accidents, violations can be reported by authorized individuals for an employee. They include attorneys, social workers, members of the clergy, spouses, family members, recognized labor organization representatives, and organizations and nonprofit groups acting on complaints and injuries sustained by employees. How to Obtain a Copy of OSHA Standards OSHA regulations and standards can be categorized into General Industry, Construction, Agriculture, and Maritime. One of the best resources for information on OSHA standards is the Federal Register. The Federal Register publishes the OSHA standards when they are adopted, as well as all corrections, insertions, deletions, and amendments. You can sign up for annual subscriptions to the register through the Superintendent of Documents, U.S. Government Printing Office (GPO), in Washington, D.C. You can also find a copy at your local library. Through your local library and the Government Printing Office, you can find copies of the annual updates for current regulations and standards through the Code of Federal Regulations, or CFR. These OSHA regulations can be found in Title 29 of the CFR, Part 1900-1999. You may also sign up for the OSHA Regulations, Documents and Technical Information CD-ROM. This CD-ROM was developed to help the public stay current with OSHA standards. On this CD-ROM, you will find all current regulations and standards, technical information from the OSHA Computerized Information System, or OCIS, and selected documents. The OSHA disc was created as a way to fill the need for quicker access to current regulations and other information. The CD-ROM contains some of the following information:
- OSHA Regulations (Standards)
- OSH Act
- OSHA Technical Manual
- Directives
- Variances
- Standards Interpretations
- Federal Register Index
- Text and Preamble of Recent OSHA Standards
- Fact Sheets
- Field Operations Manual
- Chemical Sampling Information
- Blood Lead Laboratories
- Consultants (Expert Witness)
- Library Catalog

ATLANTA -- Sixers head Doug Collins spent a significant amount of time during Thursday's practice at Georgia Tech in conversation with two of his young leaders -- Evan Turner and Jrue Holiday.
It was not a talk about blame. Instead, it was an exchange about the importance of starting games right and not easing into a contest. The coach shared statistics and examples with the players to explain the importance of a quality start.
That message appeared to certainly sink in with Holiday, Turner and the entire team as the Sixers scored 40 points in the first quarter en route to a 101-90 win over the Atlanta Hawks on Friday night (see Instant Replay).
The Sixers' 40 points in the first period were a season high for the team in a quarter this season. They also shot 73 percent and had 10 assists on 16 made field goals in that dominant opening frame.
"We were just really, really sharp," Collins said. "I thought Evan came with a very good first quarter. I thought Jrue did even though he didn't score that much. Thad (Young) was active, Spencer (Hawes) and Damien (Wilkins).
"I mean it really set the tone for the game and then we found a way to close it out. It wasn't pretty at the end. That is a really good road win for us against a playoff team."
Getting off to a good start was particularly important for Holiday, who was trying to put Wednesday's 2-for-24 shooting nightmare behind him.
Holiday connected on 2 of 3 shots in the first quarter for four points to go along with four assists.
The All-Star point guard did struggle again overall from the field, evidenced by his final line of 3-for-14 shooting for just nine points. However, Holiday's ability to set the pace of the game early and get everyone involved put the team on the right track.
"I am not sure if I really had that good of a start. It was me more trying to facilitate and getting other guys going," Holiday said. "Again, just getting into the paint. Sometimes when you see the numbers they can either hurt your feelings or you see it as criticism and you learn from it."
The Sixers rode that fast start to a 13-point halftime advantage. They increased that total to as much as 19 points in the third quarter, mainly behind a good performance from Turner.
Turner scored 10 of his game-high 24 points in the third quarter. He also grabbed 11 rebounds in the game.
"We won and that is always fun," Turner said. "We all played well. Everyone contributed and that helps a lot."
"I thought this was the best game Evan has played in a while," Collins said. "He was really sharp and it makes me feel good because I spent a lot of time with he and Jrue sitting around and talking at the practice facility, talking about getting yourself prepared to play, especially coming down the stretch."
The Sixers sputtered in the late stretches of the game, but they were able to put it away thanks to their balance.
Hawes (19 points and 12 rebounds), Young (14 points and 13 rebounds) and Wilkins (16 points) each seemed to come up with a key play when the Sixers needed it to help secure the win.
"These games are important for us," Collins said. "I've got young players. Little things that you keep teaching, that's why we're going to coach and teach and play these games to the finish."
The Sixers return to the court on Saturday in Miami against the Eastern Conference-leading Heat.

The Best of The Best: Creme to Powder Blushes
The product of the moment at the Beauty Bug household is creme to powder blushes. The Beauty Bug likes them because they are so blendable and buildable and tend to last longer than the average powder blush. Determining the right amount of product for your skin tone is a fun exercise in color and the best part is, it's impossible to mess up. The blushes remind The Beauty Bug of watercolor paints – beautifully sheer, soft and delicate, with just a touch of pigment. Here's what's on Her vanity right now:
Ramy Beauty Therapy Juicy Cheeks in Melon Rouge – This beautiful romantic pink looks hot in the compact, but is very feminine, subdued and soft on. The smooth formula, which is almost like a stain, leaves skin with a dewy finish that really brightens the face. A good choice if MAC's True Romantic is one your blush picks…
Mally Beauty Get Cheeky Dewy Blush in Ipanema – This is perfect color for achieving that natural, sun-kissed glow. While the color in the compact looks like a deep bronze, Ipanema works like a charm on The Beauty Bug's pale skin. It provides Her with a healthy glow with a hint of shimmer and perfectly warms Her face. The compact comes with a brush, but The Beauty Bug chooses to use Her fingers instead – She gets more product that way, and has more control of the color. Just call Her The Girl from Ipanema…
Three Custom Color Specialists Creme to Powder Blush in Pink – Out of all 3 blushes, this color is the most universally flattering. The creamy formula blends out to a medium pink that gives cheeks that true flushed look.
Some quick tips before application:
- Apply on a light layer of powder so the product doesn't mix with the powder and lighten
- Apply the most product on the apples of the cheeks and blend out and up
- Apply the product to your finger, and tap/dab the color on the cheek, then smooth
- Most creme blushes are extrememly versatile – experiment with using on your lips, or use the sheerer, lighter shades (like Ramy's Pure Juice Pearl Gloss) as a highlighter on the brow bone.

The last time Cedar Key School students participated in the state's Learning in Florida's Environment (LIFE) program, they did so with the help of the Cedar Key Energy Advisory Panel and Suwannee River Water Management District.
Today, when 50 students participate in a second LIFE program it will be with state funding. That's because an agreement with the state Department of Environmental Protection's Office of Environmental Education will establish the state's 18th Learning in Florida's Environment (LIFE) Program site in Levy County.

|Jeep road gets pretty rutted past the creek, you need 4WD.. We took mountain bikes and rode with packs to the pull out couple miles in. Great protection on quality rock. I thought smearing on traverse on third pitch was the crux. I used 0 Metolius master cam to BD C4 #4 (2nd pitch), also bring pink and red tri cams if you have them. Good climbing with incredible views. Don't start up approach to soon. Look for cairns next to wash below spire

How long will non-surgical rhinoplasty last? Cost? Cartilage at end of bridge seems to be growing, pushing my lip up. (Photo)
Been hit multiple times, one time dislodged cartilage which eliminated the "bridge bump" when viewed from the side. The bulbous tip is what really bothers me when viewed from the front in conjunction with my wide "German" bridge (which i love). I just want to get ride of the "Snowman/Figure-8" shape. Filler between the tip and the bridge would be good to smooth the line i think... Could the nose-lip angle be adjusted too without surgery? Fillers in top lip?

American Cancer Society Joins Screening Supporters
Washington, DC [January 11, 2013]—Today, in response to the announcement by the American Cancer Society, Lung Cancer Alliance (LCA) President & CEO Laurie Fenton Ambrose said: "We are pleased that the American Cancer Society has joined Lung Cancer Alliance, other leading professional organizations and medical centers around the country in endorsing CT screening for those at high risk for lung cancer."
"No one disputes the results of the National Lung Screening Trial; screening works," she said, referring to the large randomized controlled trial (NLST) launched by the National Cancer Institute in 2002 and terminated in 2010.
"The issues are how to deploy lung cancer screening responsibly and equitably, and how to determine who else will benefit beyond the NLST population of older, heavy smokers. We are addressing these issues through our National Framework for Excellence in Lung Screening and Continuum of Care," Fenton Ambrose explained.
The National Framework, launched by LCA early last year, outlines the rights of the at-risk public, guiding principles for screening sites and also calls for collection of data on outcomes so that lung cancer screening can be continuously improved through a rapid learning process.
"This is important because we have already seen improvements in imaging and protocols since the screening rounds in the NLST were completed," said James Mulshine, MD, LCA Board member and Associate Provost for Research at Rush University.
"This is critical. 160,000 people a year are dying of lung cancer and that is close to a third of all cancer deaths in the United States," he said.
Over the past two years, in addition to LCA, the National Comprehensive Cancer Network (NCCN), American Association of Thoracic Surgeons (AATS), and others have publicly supported screening those at risk.
Wellpoint, one of the largest health insurers in the country, included screening as a covered benefit for those at high risk in November 2011. Other commercial insurers are starting to act.
"It is time for policy makers to act. Screening needs to be available to those at high risk of lung cancer and it should be rated as an essential service under the Affordable Care Act, said Cheryl G. Healton, Dr. PH, LCA Board member and President and CEO of Legacy, the national public health foundation devoted to keeping young people from smoking and helping all smokers quit.

Church celebrates Pastor, fights to reopen damaged sanctuary
Sun, 19 May 2013 23:42:07 GMT —
A Wisconsin congregation rallies around the Joy Tabernacle Church to celebrate Pastor Robert McCathern and to support church members in their time of need.
"We believe in the ministry of Pastor McCathern and the Joy Tabernacle Church," said Bishop Lawrence Kirby of St. Paul Baptist Church.
Members of the Joy Tabernacle congregation and 90 people from St. Paul's Baptist Church in Wisconsin celebrated Pastor Robert McCathern and his 13th year of ministry.
"They've been able to reach urban America. His church if full of teenagers and youth adults who come right from the streets from gangs and drugs and their lives have been changed and transformed," said Bishop Kirby.
Now, the church is in need of its own transformation.
In December the roof of the sanctuary collapsed.
Since then, church members have been meeting in the basement.
"The roof caved in and State Farm (insurance) was supposed to come out and reopen it. They found out all the damages and they refused to do it," said Minister Michael Nard.
To make the day special for Pastor McCathern, the church rented Saint Luke's Catholic Church to worship.
They were surrounded by their friends from St. Paul's in Wisconsin.
"Any time a congregation has been uprooted due to adversity or tragedy it can present obstacles and barriers to worship," said Renee Kirby of St. Paul Baptist Church.
Joy Tabernacle is suing state farm insurance to get the help they need and to hopefully reopen the doors of their sanctuary.
"I would that God that other congreatations in this area put their arms around Pastor McCathern and the Joy Taberncacle Church because we are all one we are all together in this," said Bishop Kirby.

Hi! I am just wondering as to whether hyper baric oxygen therapy would help recovery 3 months post op? My tip and columella are still very swollen, So I am wondering if this type of therapy would help? Any other suggestions for de-swelling would be great- little or big! Thank you!
Rhinoplasty Recovery- Hyper Baric Oxygen Therapy?
Doctor Answers 6
Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy For Rhinoplasty Swelling
Hyperbaric oxygen therapy is not a useful treatment for nasal swelling three months after a rhinoplasty. This is an adjunct to wound healing in tissue compromised areas, not a swelling reducer for normal tissues.

Rhinoplasty recovery
Dear em1990,
- It is common to be swollen in the tip and columella at this point
- It will go down, but hyperbaric oxygen will not help
- Sometimes, some kenalog (a steroid) can be injected to speed up healing
- Talk to your surgeon and see what they say
Best regards,

Hyperbaric oxygen and nasal swelling
Hyperbaric oxygen is usually used for questionable wound healing issues and not for swelling. Swelling will improve with time.

Hyperbaric therapy 3 months post-rhinoplasty is of NO benefit!
Hyperbaric oxygen therapy is used when tissues have insufficient circulation and inadequate oxygenation (perfusion problem, injury, oxygen-carrying hemoglobin poisons like carbon monoxide, etc.). Your rhinoplasty is well on the way to healing, though scar tissue softening and maturation, as well as swelling and lymphatic congestion resolution, can take up to a year to be "complete." This is why experienced rhinoplasty surgeons will recommend waiting a year in most cases before proceeding with surgical revision!
Swelling, firmness, and numbness are absolutely normal for this point in your recovery, and time will resolve most of your concerns. In some cases judicious steroid injection may be of benefit, but would be something to ask your surgeon about.
Hyperbaric oxygen is expensive and will add nothing to your recovery. Best wishes! Dr. Tholen

Hyperbaric therapy after rhinoplasty.
Hi there,
Im pretty sure hyperbaric therapy will be a waste of time and money for this purpose.
It can take a long time for swelling to reduce after rhino.
If you post before, just post surgery and current pictures of your nose it will be possible to give you better advice.
Good luck.
Hyperbaric oxygen to reduce swelling after rhinoplasty
Early in your post-operative period (first 2-3 weeks), if cost is not prohibitive, hyperbaric oxygen therapy is likely to be of some benefit in decreasing the swelling after rhinoplasty. At 3 months post op I do not think you will achieve a discernible benefit. Healing after rhinoplasty can be a long process, and unfortunately time is the best therapy.
