Q. What is the relationship between long-term statin use (specifically atorvastatin) and adult-onset type 2 diabetes? Lipitor was prescribed for me in 1998 and has successfully lowered my cholesterol.
In the past year my blood sugar went up substantially, and I've experienced preliminary symptoms of diabetes. I have no risk factors: my weight is normal and I walk at least two miles a day with additional daily weight-bearing exercise. I have no family history of diabetes.
My diet is primarily Mediterranean because I'm married to a Sicilian. It's a little high in carbs but low in red meat and high in seafood and plant proteins.
I've stopped taking the statin. Will my metabolism return to normal?
The Statin and Diabetes Connection
A. In 2003 we started getting questions from readers about elevated blood sugar as a side effect of Lipitor. One of the first questions was the following (published in our syndicated newspaper column on 1/20/2003):
"Recently, our physician prescribed Lipitor for my husband and myself. We both have been diagnosed with type 2 diabetes. We both take Glyburide and my husband takes Avandia as well.
"Since we started on Lipitor, our blood sugar has been rising rapidly. My husband asked the doctor about changing to Tricor, but he was told it would not help him much and he should stay with Lipitor. It seems that Lipitor is affecting our blood sugar. Is this possible?"
We contacted University of California, San Diego, statin researcher Beatrice Golomb, MD, PhD. Dr. Golomb responded:
"There are two studies that have shown unexpected significant increases in blood sugar or in hemoglobin A1C (which is an index of blood sugar over time) with statin use. Though increases are modest on average, some people appear to experience more considerable increases."
We encouraged this reader and her husband to let the doctor know there was a statin and diabetes connection; that atorvastatin, as well as other statin-type cholesterol-lowering drugs (lovastatin, pravastatin, simvastatin, etc.) could increase blood sugar. We also invited readers to share their stories with us.
We began hearing from others who either developed diabetes after taking a statin or had more difficulty controlling blood sugar once a statin was on board. Most physicians were unaware that this was a possibility.
Some got really angry that we had written about a statin and diabetes connection. They felt that we were planting a seed of doubt about the benefits of statins with no proof that drugs like atorvastatin or simvastatin raised blood glucose levels.
The JUPITOR Proof:
It wasn't until the JUPITER (Justification for the Use of Statins in Primary Prevention: An Intervention Trial Evaluating Rosuvastatin trial) study was published in 2008 that a clear connection was established between statins and diabetes (New England Journal of Medicine, Nov. 20, 2008). Even though the authors did not mention this complication in their enthusiastic support for Crestor (rosuvastatin) in the conclusion section of the paper, they did describe the statin and diabetes connection in the results and discussion section.
This was the first real proof that statins raised blood sugar levels in some patients. Even after this study was published in a reputable journal, many statin enthusiasts were reluctant to accept the finding. They insisted it was coincidental. For those that did accept the data, many were quick to insist that even if statins did trigger diabetes or raise blood sugar, the benefits of the drugs far outweighed the risks of diabetes.
More Evidence:
Since then, other studies have reinforced the statin-diabetes connection. An article in Diabetologia (May, 2015) confirmed this risk:
Finnish men taking a statin were 46 percent more likely to be diagnosed later with type 2 diabetes than those not on such a cholesterol-lowering drug.
Statin Takers Figured This Out Long Ago:
January 12, 2009:
Q. I was put on Lipitor to control cholesterol and found it shot my blood sugar through the roof. My doctor suggested switching to Crestor. Would this drug also affect blood sugar?
A. You are not the first person to note that some cholesterol-lowering medicines might raise blood sugar levels. Another reader reported that after taking Crestor, his type 2 diabetes numbers also "went through the roof." In addition, he reported: "my hands, feet and arms tingled so much I could hardly stand it."
February 15, 2010:
"I have been taking Crestor. It lowered my cholesterol very well, but my blood sugar went out of control. My HbA1c went from 6.8 to 7.3 in just a short while, and my morning blood glucose numbers went from 110 – 130 to 161 – 217.
"I stopped taking Crestor a few days ago and my numbers are already starting to drop. This morning the reading was 144 and my mid-morning blood sugar was only 96 instead of in the low 200s."
The Bottom Line:
Cardiologists who downplay the importance of the statin and diabetes connection confound us. People who have elevated blood sugar levels are at greater risk of heart attacks and strokes, the very things statins are supposed to prevent. Why would you want to increase the risk of developing diabetes or making it worse with a medication?
With your healthy lifestyle, you may be able to reverse this trend. At this time there is not a lot of research on how long it takes, but we have heard from people like the reader above that blood glucose can move back towards the normal range. Cut back on carbs and keep up the exercise.

The Chertsey 'record' - the facts as they stand
UPDATE 29/11/18: Following the publication of this piece, Mark Simmonds commented on our Facebook page: "I have had communication with somebody who actually is aware of the facts and I can clarify a few points.
"1) the fish is a simmo 2) it was not the Chertsey fish. It was not caught from Chertsey.
"There you go. Just a few points to fuel the fire: I am desperately unhappy that one of our fish is a genuine British record but we will never see a photo or see its name in the record books even though it is the most genuine and youngest British fish ever.
"Well done to the angler and fair play to the owner who has created an incredible water to grow such a fish. There is little doubt Grenvilles will produce the next record Simmo and 70lb is well achievable in Grenvilles."
In light of the above, we have no reason to believe this fish was ever a Chertsey resident. The article below (written on 28/11/18) will remain up to show the ups and downs of this narrative.
Has a Simmo broken the British carp record, is it a different fish altogether – or is the whole thing a hoax?
It's been a busy day for the carp rumour mill so we have decided to set out the facts as they are currently known so you can judge for yourself.
At 8.35am, a post appeared from the Facebook page of Mark Simmonds' Heather Fisheries. Mark is known as Simmo and so are the fish he has stocked into countless venues across the country.
The post, on the 'Simmos super stockies' page read: "Hearing a whisper of a very big fish from Chertsey. The Big Simmo that was supposed to be dead. Anyone know any more?"
Ninety minutes later, at 10.05am, another status from Mark's page appeared. It said: "68lb 10oz boom. Three people have now confirmed it. This is a fish worthy of the British record. Born and bred in UK from parents born and bred in the UK."
At 10.37am, Carpfeed spoke to Mark Simmonds on the phone about the fish. Asked by us whether he could name the fish, Mark told us it's the Chertsey Fish, the one Terry Hearn had previously caught at over 50lb. The rest of Mark's quotes can be read in our initial story.
Now, 36 hours before all this, at 4.33pm on Monday, a member of the Carp Forum website posted in a thread about another record claim: "The Chertsey fish is the record as we speak."
This is the first public online mention of the capture that we can find.
The Chertsey Fish has certainly topped 60lb before, though public captures of the Big Simmo seem to put it at a weight of mid-30s five years ago, meaning it would have had to have made considerable, though not impossible, weight gains since then.
Since this morning, we have spoken to a number of anglers in a bid to substantiate or quash the rumours. We understand the venue is in private hands and fished by a handful of anglers who effectively guard the land.
The angler who controls fishing on the venue contacted us this afternoon. He said no fish in Chertsey are publicised anymore and that none has "been caught near that weight", adding: "Rumours are being spread by jealous wind-up merchants who cannot gain access to the lake".
At almost exactly the same time, another source told us that the Chertsey Fish had been caught at 68lb 10oz but the angler in question was unhappy about any publicity.
Our own view? The Chertsey Fish and the Big Simmo are certainly capable of that weight. The former has definitely been caught and reported at over 60lb before.
We fully understand anglers wanting to keep their fishing private, but once the information was public on Facebook from the most well-known fish farmer in the land we had a duty to find out more. As in this article, we have endeavoured to collate the rumours in one place and investigate them as best we can.
We are cautious over claims that jealous anglers who can't fish the venue would demonstrate that frustration by sewing such a specific rumour, but, sadly, this is carp fishing and such things can happen. The low-key post on a thread about a different fish on the Carp Forum, 36 hours before any Facebook mention, also seems an unlikely genesis.
Finally, if you're still with us, we have to consider whether the mirror known as the Chertsey Fish is actually a Simmo.
Mark Simmonds certainly stocked fish into Chertsey when it was run by RMC Angling, but there are suggestions that this specific fish came, via flooding or otherwise, from a lake across the road.
A discussion about its provenance can be found on this Anglers Forum (previously the Cemex/RMC forum) thread from 2011 in which one contributor connected to the venue suggests, "the fish might well have been in Chertsey in the first place and moved between the pits a bit during floods".
Whatever the reality, are we ever likely to see photos of this reported capture, or an official record claim for any fish in Chertsey? It all seems a very, very distant prospect.

Ian Donnell Arbuckle writes about...
Publishing "Twisted Fairy Tales"
Ian describes an enterprising project.
I wanted to let you know about a project that a few of my writing friends and I undertook a couple months ago. We decided that it would be fun to collect a number of twisted fairy tales into a peer-edited volume and hawk it out around our disparate locations' bookstores. I already had one (a Rumplestiltskin variation called "Grammar" that was published by lostinthedark.net last summer), and had some more ideas.
Well, now there are at least seven contributors with stories in the works ranging from "Rikki Tikki Tavi" to "Seven at One Blow" to "Wayland the Wandering Smith," and they're all shaping up beautifully.
Now with your contest looming, I thought I might put the bug in the ear of my contributors to submit their stories to you guys, because our collection certainly isn't planned for publication until May or so. Just thought I'd let you know that I'm directing a small flood towards you.
Also... I wonder if any of the contributors you submit to your contest would like to participate in this publishing experiment? The goal is not to make profit, but to have each contributor make an effort to market the book within their sphere of influence, to build up as much interest as we can. More of a vanity project than a publishing effort, I suppose, but my sincere hope is that the popularity of the project will be helpful in sprinboarding we amateurs on to greater things.
Just a thought.
Our collection is going to be called Time for Bedlam with some sort of explanatory subtitle that hasn't yet been decided upon. :)
We, the authors, give the booksellers our books for free and they sell the books for money. If any of us were trying to make an independent profit from this project, that wouldn't look so attractive, but, honestly, neither myself nor my contributors even want to consider the option of making a profit yet (that might be something to pass along to possible BwS contributors.) I haven't yet checked with large-chain bookstores, such as Borders or Barnes and Noble (both of which tend to have small "local author" sections).
Basically, we're going indie: we have a project we reasonably believe will interest people and generate a small fanbase. We will put in money, and hope to organize readings for interested parties, and create the product via Lulu.com, purchase an amount of our own books to distribute to booksellers, and organize as much local publicity as possible in our far flung regions of Omak, Spokane, Seattle, Los Angeles, Missoula, and Vancouver, B.C. We kind of hope that any contributor will be excited enough by the final product to do a bit of shilling themselves, as well, though we won't make it a requirement, by any means. We're young writers, at this point, having fun — we'll be grizzled and cynical when we have time.
And I'll have a contribution for the contest, as well. Good luck with this!
Copyright © 2005 by Ian Donnell Arbuckle
Thank you, Ian! And good luck to you and your friends, too. In light of Jerry's editorial in issue 133, it looks like you and Bewildering Stories are going the same way. Who knows, maybe we can go together. It's certainly seems like something we might talk about.

My wife and I went to an adoption conference a few weeks ago as I wanted to investigate what an Orphan Care Ministry could look like at County Line. The conference as the first of its kind for me, so I didn't know what to expect. However, I came away with some information and ideas that I think can help the local church in caring for orphans. Here are some of the things I learned:
- There are 153 million orphans in the world.
- About 17 million of them are "double" orphans meaning that both parents are deceased.
- About the same number, 17 million, are adoptable for a variety of reasons.
- Several other factors such as HIV/Aids, Human and Sex Trafficking, and Poverty are causes for parents and children to become separated.
- Adoption is only one of the answers to ending the orphan crisis.
- Many agencies that can provide information and help parents discern if and how they can adopt. (Loving Shepherd Ministries is a great organization that will help families get started in the right direction.)
- Foster Care and preventative programs, such as Safe Families for Children, are other options if families do not or cannot adopt.
- The local church can serve in many ways, either directly or indirectly.
- They can start an Adoption Fund with Lifesong for Orphans.
- Raise awareness through Orphan Sunday and other events.
- Partner with an orphanage such as Village of Hope in Guatemala.
- Host an Adoption/Orphan Care Conference.
- Collect and study resources such as Christian Alliance for Orphans, Both Ends Burning, Orphan Justice, The Global Orphan Crisis, and Giving Wisely.
Religion that God our Father accepts as pure and faultless is this: to look after orphans and widows in their distress and to keep oneself from being polluted by the world.

[…] Viral genomic sequences were identified as part of a previous study (). Briefly, bats were collected with harp traps at an abandoned railroad tunnel near Little Orleans, MD, and fresh guano was collected. Samples were stored on ice until processing. The BtCalV/A10 capsid sequence was isolated from Perimyotis subflavus (tri-colored bat) using the sequence-independent single-primer amplification technique and 454 next-generation sequencing platform. De novo contigs were assembled using three programs: Codon Code Aligner, Geneious, and DNAStar. Viral amino acid sequences were created using Vector NTI. Assembled contigs were analyzed using the basic local alignment search tool (BLAST) from the National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI) (). BLAST searches were conducted at the amino acid level using the protein-protein BLAST (blastp) function to query nonredundant protein sequences. [...] Maximum-likelihood cladograms of 50 known calicivirus VP1 amino acid sequences and 51 known calicivirus S domain amino acid sequences were generated using MEGA7. The cladograms were generated based on the JTT matrix-based amino acid substitution model and initially derived with the Neighbor-Join (NJ) and BioNJ algorithms followed by pairwise distance estimation by the use of the JTT amino acid replacement model. Bootstrapping was conducted by generating 500 bootstrapped replicates, and a consensus tree was developed using MEGA7. Consensus radial phylograms were generated in Geneious R11, employing the same sequences used to construct the cladograms, with the Jukes-Cantor genetic distance model, the NJ build method, no outgroup, and 100 bootstrap replicates. Phylograms were rendered for publication in Adobe Illustrator CC 2017. [...] The full-length BtCalV/A10, GII.4.1997.Lordsdale HuNoV, GI.1 human sapovirus, GV.1 MNV, and BtNoV capsid sequences () were submitted to the Protein Homology/analogy Recognition Engine V2.0 (PHYRE2) server () and analyzed using Intensive Mode. Homology modeling of the BtCalV/A10 and BtNoV sequences was based on the known HuNoV GII.4/VA387 (PDB ID: 2OBT) () and HuNoV GII.4.2012/NSW0514 bound to type A trisaccharide (PDB ID: 4WZT) () and MNV (PDB ID: 3LQE) structures from the Protein Data Bank. The amino acid sequences were aligned using the Clustal Omega platform on the Bioinformatics Toolkit from the Max Planck Institute (, ).

December 20 1940: A Good Man
'A Good Man' was published by Huang Yao's publishing company, The People's Publisher (Minjian Chubanshe). Similar to 'A Chinese Soldier', 'A Good Man' teaches soldiers how to behave, except this book is in picture form for those who could not read. Each picture comes with a simple caption of 10 to 14 characters divided into 2 parts for easy reading. It is similar to China's comics books but the content is current, realistic and motivational. In the 163 pages, this comic book is about the true story of a beggar, joining the military and his contribution to society.
Huang Yao strongly advocated that the Chinese do not fight Chinese but from 4 January to 14 January 1941, the National Army and the Communist Army clashed and many were killed. There is a turning point in Huang Yao's works as he stopped encouraging people to join the army. He turns instead towards praising the spirit of ordinary Chinese people and their resilience in the war, through his many exhibitions and books after this event. Huang Yao also starts doing cartoons about the local people and culture relating to his travels.

One of the best things in life is gaining new friendships, increasing the amount of love you receive and give. Wouldn't it be great if space automatically increased each time we "gained" a new plant? True, you can practice vertical gardening and get creative with the layout of your landscape, but let's face it: most of us garden within a physically contained space.
Every garden, whether it's 1/4 acre or 40 acres, has another limiting factor: water. When space and water are plentiful, you can have a huge party with all your little (and not-so-little) green friends, but the average urban lot and water shortage mean it's time to pick and choose which plants mean the most to you, and which party crashers can go.
It may seem like plants have feelings, but really, they don't, so you can be ruthless in the initial stages. The first group of plants to consider eliminating are invasives, plants that spread rapidly at the expense of everything around them. A good example is English ivy, which covers the ground in a thick carpet, taking away water and nutrients from other plants. More information on invasive plants can be found at the California Invasive Plant Council's website: cal-ipc.org/landscaping/dpp
Plants that are not doing well, no matter how hard you try, should also be considered for removal. Plants placed in the wrong light exposure, unfavorable soil (too heavy, etc), or are marginal in our climate will probably never do well unless conditions can be amended to suit them. Fussy plants can be beautiful, but start asking yourself if it's worth the trouble and what you are getting out of them in the end.
Overcrowded planting beds are very common, a symptom of impulse purchases, impatience, and poor planning (or no planning). Remedies often include removal, but choosing the keepers requires you to know what species you have and what their natural growth habit and life cycles are. Unidentified plants can be brought to a locally-owned nursery or the Master Gardener's (see our website below for contact information). Bringing more than just a leaf is helpful (a small branch and photo of the overall plant is best).
After you know your plants, you can begin to think about their functions. Shade from trees, the aesthetic value of flowering perennials, and maintenance requirements are major factors to consider. Mature trees add economic value to your home, so removing competing plants can help them get the water, sun, and nutrients they need. Thirsty plants with only aesthetic value can be considered for removal, especially if there are other existing plants to fill in. However, you can think about what the plant does in exchange for the amount of resources that go into it. For instance, fruit trees require regular water, but they provide food for people (and wildlife, much to our chagrin!).
Plants with wildlife value offer something to the creatures that share their space with us. Plants providing nectar and/or pollen are great for people to look at and pollinators to feed on, though not all plants are equal in their ability to provide forage. Insects and birds also need habitat for mating, nesting, and shelter from enemies, so keeping some of you large shrubs and trees is important.
Letting some plants go can be tough, but it allows your remaining plants to breath and take on their natural shape and size. Understanding what happens in an overcrowded garden can help you become more conscientious about over-planting in the future, though I know from experience this doesn't always happen. If nothing else, decluttering your garden gives you an excuse to go buy more plants.

Ice Boats
by Edson I. Schock
This small ice yacht was designed to fit the 75 square-foot racing class. While the woodwork on her is very simple, there is quite a bit of machine work to be done, and the prospective builder should be able to do this, or have facilities available to do it for him.

Silver Bird is a speedy motor iceboat racer that will give no end of safe pleasure and thrills. Neat and compact, the craft has two cockpits with seating capacity for three, including the pilot. The body of this icemobile is stream-lined and mounted on a frame supported by four runners. Double steering runners in front increase stability and maneuverability more than a single rudder. A notable feature of Silver Bird is its unique, quick-acting brake, which is easy to operate without physical exertion. The weight of Silver Bird is about 600 pounds, depending on the engine.

Common Sense Says
Deeply moving, irreverent film about friends, cancer, life.
What Parents Need to Know
Parents need to know that Me and Earl and the Dying Girl is an irreverent, heartfelt, thoughtful, and very funny dramedy based on the same-named book by Jesse Andrews. You know from the title that a teen girl is dying (cancer), so it's no spoiler to say that although the movie is quite humorous and sarcastic, it also explores intense subject matter, including post-high school boredom/lack of direction, fear of intimacy, and mortality. Expect some swearing (including "s--t" and "f--k"), cigarette and pot smoking by teens, and drinking -- but ultimately the take-away is that illness can ravage the body but not the soul, and friendship can conquer it.

First Year Analysis Show Recovery Act's Successes
"President Obama's Recovery Act has helped create jobs and lay a new foundation for economic growth during the greatest economic crisis since the Great Depression," said Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack. "USDA has used Recovery Act funding create badly-needed jobs and stimulate local economies, help farmers and rural businesses make it through tough times, ensure that struggling families can put food on the table, and build and revitalize critical infrastructure in rural communities across America."
Since the Recovery Act was signed into law a year ago, USDA has moved quickly to get dollars out the door. Aside from funding for the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, which is allocated on a mandatory basis each month, USDA has announced the vast majority of its remaining $7.9 billion to support more than 90,000 grants, loans, and other job-creating projects. In the first year implementing the Recovery Act, USDA has:
· Provided over $100 billion in tax relief for American businesses and families, including tax cuts for 95 percent of working families through the Making Work Pay tax Credit. And tax relief is expected to nearly double in the coming months.
- Helped over 38 million Americans who need food assistance by providing an average increase in benefits of $80 per month to low-income households of four. This funding is a fast-acting economic stimulus as every $1 in food benefits generates up to $1.84 in total economic activity, supporting jobs at all levels of the food chain.
- Helped 85,420 rural Americans purchase or repair their homes with affordable loans while simultaneously stimulating the economy, and creating jobs in the construction and real estate sectors.
- Helped create private sector jobs protecting rural communities from large wildfires, while improving the health of our forests, water and air resources. We provided $500 million to treat over 134,000 acres of forest to reduce the risk of wildfire.
- Provided 2,636 loans to farmers and ranchers help them purchase the farm equipment, feed, seed, and fuel they needed to keep their farms operating and support jobs in the rural economy. Approximately half of these loans went to beginning farmers and 25% to socially disadvantaged farmers.
- Created green jobs at plants that use of wood from forest restoration activities to generate renewable energy. Grants worth $50 million went to projects that will power 223,000 homes.
- Helped more than 5,000 schools purchase equipment to improve the safe and healthy meals they serve to children.
In the coming months, USDA will be implementing additional programs and projects as weather begins to thaw, and construction projects are expected to break ground across the country. In 2010, USDA will continue to invest in projects to help get Americans and the economy back to work:
- By bringing broadband internet to an estimated 1.2 million households, 230,000 businesses, and 7,800 anchor institutions like hospitals and schools across rural America, in one largest job generating efforts to date. This $3.4 billion investment will give businesses access to global markets and spur rural economic development.
- By helping 300 rural businesses grow, innovate and create jobs, providing $900 million on top of $570 million already at work helping 160 businesses across the country.
- With the construction and improvement of hundreds of community facilities, such as police and fire stations, and libraries in rural America. We will improve access to health care for 3 million rural residents, and educational services for 2.5 million residents. We will provide nearly $750 million on top of $470 million already announced for more than 850 projects.
- By constructing and rebuilding water and waste water systems in more than 200 communities affecting 1 million rural Americans. We will provide nearly $1 billion on top of more than $2 billion already announced for projects in 530 communities.

There are seven Aboriginal community elected Directors who form the Board and at VACCA the role of the Board is one of governance. The Board works with the CEO to oversee the longer term strategic goals (as set out in our strategic plan), set aims and objectives and establish policies.
The Board has overall responsibility for:
- Authorising all major decisions
- Setting long-term goals
- Appointment of the CEO
- Seeking information from the CEO as to whether its major decisions and long-term goals are being met
- Ensuring legal compliance and financial accountability standards are met
Board Rules
VACCA was established in 1977 as a Cooperative under the Victorian Cooperatives Act. In 2014 the Co-operatives Act was replaced in Victoria by the Co-operatives National Law. In accordance with the Co-operatives National Law, only members of VACCA can nominate for vacant positions on the Board. To become a member of VACCA you must be of Aboriginal descent, over 18 years of age and comply with the Code of Conduct. The Board are elected by members at the Annual General Meeting.
The Directors meet bi-monthly and their role is to govern, not manage, the Agency. Therefore the Directors address ends and delegates the means to the CEO. The CEO is responsible for the good management, direction, co-ordination and future development of the organisation and all its services.
The CEO is appointed by and is accountable to the Board of Directors.

Ada Hagerberg who is considered to be one of the most talented female soccer players has decided to sit out the Women's World Cup of 2019 in order to protest inequality in the sports industry.
Hagerberg has specified that she is extremely unhappy with the way women in sports are treated, saying that every woman is paid much less than their male counterparts and has less recognition for higher feats in their career.
Has anybody responded?
Due to the fact that Hagerberg quickly became the face of the UEFA's (Union of European Football Associations) #TimeForAction campaign, her decision spread wide across the globe.
Many female soccer teams in countries such as the USA and Ireland have already started protesting the same issues in the industry.
The US team went as far as to file a lawsuit against the United States Soccer Federation. The lawsuit was regarding institutionalized gender discrimination and brought in arguments such as unequal pay and recognition.
In fact, the lawsuit details that a female soccer player in the United States was paid 40% of what their male counterparts made on a yearly basis.
A comment was made by the UEFA women's soccer director, Nadine Kessler, saying that Hagerberg's decision was one of the most far-reaching and impactful she has ever seen, mentioning that sitting out a World Cup for a world-class soccer player was a huge deal.
As reported by news source NorskeCasino, The Norwegian Football Association has also shown support for Hagerberg, mentioning that they support her decision and will hold relevant procedures to make sure that the sports industry in Norway is built on equality and fairness.
Sportsbooks respond
The loss of Hagerberg was a huge hit for Norway's female national team, which has affected their chances of scoring a victory.
The player was so valued that various sportsbooks across the world have started increasing the odds on Norway's victory on nearly every single match. This is especially true of bookmakers in Norway, where Ada is a superstar and considered a top female soccer player.
This has led to some outcry in the community, saying that the team does not revolve around one player, but it can't be argued that the loss of Hagerberg was a huge hit for the effectiveness of the team, regardless of its performance without her.
More about Hagerberg
Ada Hagerberg has been playing soccer nearly all her life an has been nominated multiple times as one of the best performing female soccer players in the world. She has received multiple awards such as the 2015 Norwegian Gold Ball and was named as a player of the year in 2017 and 2019 as well.
Her journey on fighting for women's rights started when she first experienced discrimination herself, although many football fans simply deem it as an honest mistake and a joke, Hagerberg took it quite seriously.
During the ceremony of the 2018 player of the year from Ballon d'Or, she was publicly asked to twerk on stage, which she deems to have been the last straw in her more restrictive demeanor and has become more vocal about the social issues in the sports industry ever since

I'm going to need some help to edit the video ( cut scenes, add music, etc). One person has already volunteered ( or was it me who actually "obliged" him?).
As the third song says....see you TONIGHT, TONIGHT, TONIGHT at the Cross party.
Here, it's the only picture I could take while waiting to film again. It's a pity because it would have been great to have plenty of them... :(
Thanks for taking part in this crazy project I hope you have enjoyed doing.

Someone once told me that the friends you make in college are unlike any others. I was always very skeptical of this claim, as I loved my high school friends and could not imagine meeting people that would ever live up to the incredibly high standards they have set for me.
In 20/20 hindsight, I was pretty naive and clearly inexperienced for thinking this. In the past six months, I have grown as close, if not closer, to my college friends that I did to my high school friends in two years. There is just something about physically living with some of your favorite people that makes your relationships that much deeper. I started off freshman year totally alone, 2,000 miles away from a place that had always been my home.
I was lucky enough to meet people the very first week of school who ended up being some of my best friends for the entire year. As the months went by, I met more people through classes and clubs and just life in general. The friends I have made my freshman year became more like a family. From walking to class together, studying together, going out together and doing absolutely nothing together, I have found people who I truly love to be around.
My friends have been there for me when I was feeling stressed or lonely, and they have been around for the best, most fun nights of my life. They have accepted me for who I am and have pushed me to be a better person. So even though I am super excited to go home to my high school friends, I am sad to say goodbye to the people who have made a place that was new and unfamiliar feel so much like home for the past three quarters.
Even though we will be separated for only three moths, I am already so excited to see what next year has in store.

The Wings of Mindful Meditation
There are lots of lists to keep track of when one begins exploring Buddhist practices. I love it when teachers condense these lists into one or two clear points. Here are the two I find most helpful:
Cling to nothing as Me or Mine.
Mindful Meditation is uplifted by the wings of Compassion and Wisdom.
That kind of boils it down to three things, no clinging, wisdom and compassion. Cool. I want to focus on just the last two, the Wings of Mindfulness. I love birds, but have yet to see one with three wings. Two works. Here we go.
First of all, Mindful Meditation. The word for Mindfulness in the Pali language spoken by Siddhartha Gautama (The Buddha) is Sati. One of the major collections of teachings is focused on Sati. Without going into all the details, there are five focuses for Sati: mindfulness of the breath, mindfulness of the body, mindfulness of feeling tone, mindfulness of the heart/mind and mindfulness of things as they are. And to get at these five skillfully one needs…
…Wisdom and Compassion…
At almost sixty nine years of age I have acquired a certain amount of natural/life wisdom, through experience, training and various facets of learning. I have always been a fairly kind person (Metta) and that has enabled compassion to grow in my heart/mind and in my actions. My dual professions of teaching and pastoring have leaned heavily on these two qualities of Wisdom and Compassion.
How do these life qualities support mindful meditation?
Mindfulness is basically a fusion of curious awareness and grace. My therapist used the phrase, "compassionate curiosity". Awareness becomes useful when it is edged with thoughtful interest.
"Pain in the shoulder is being known." Huh?! How am I dealing with the pain? Are there any other bits of the body that are reacting to that pain? Am I trying to contract my body to avoid the pain? Am I creating a 'narrative' story around the pain or just dealing with it as a physical phenomenon? Is there blame? Fear? Dread? This is all wise awareness. I am learning about pain.
Now, can I sit with it? This is where Compassion enters the picture.
I care about what is arising in the body; I'm not an insensate robot. I bath the shoulder with loving attention, breathing into the pain. No lectures. No plans to fix it. Just pure compassion.
If you have been following this blog at all you know that I am part of a 12-Step program called Adult Children of Alcoholic/Dysfunctional Families, and that what I am describing vis a vis Mindful Meditation sounds an awful lot like healthy reparenting of the Inner Child by an Inner Loving Parent.
This is what I love about ACA and what has been so helpful to me as I have grown in my understanding of Buddhism and Mindful Meditation. The two reinforce each other at nearly every turn.
Two wings of Mindful Awareness. An Inner Child and an Inner Loving Parent working in harmony to lift the True Self on wings of courage, hope and clarity.
I shared some of this with my therapist the other day. It captured where I want to be, and where I am finding myself…and I love birds! Namaste.
PS If you have read this and are saying to yourself that the Satipatthana Sutta just notes Four Foundations of Mindfulness…you are correct. Mindfulness of the breath is part of the first foundation, mindfulness of the body. Most teachers begin with the breath as an anchor for mindfulness, almost giving it its own place in this Sutta.

TACOMA, Washington – A quartet of Loggers from Tacoma and Greater Tacoma had a superb weekend, and the four have been named the Logger Club Loggers of the Week.
AJ Johnson (Lincoln High School)
A D3football.com Preseason Second Team All-American, Johnson matched his career in receptions (14) during the Puget Sound football team's 21-17 victory over Claremont-M-S in Baker Stadium (Sept. 7). The senior totaled 150 receiving yards and added two touchdowns.
Jordan Ubaldo (Mount Tahoma High School)
Making his first-career start at defensive end for the Logger football team, Ubaldo totaled five tackles and two sacks against Claremont-M-S. The Puget Sound defense limited the Stags to just three points through the game's final three quarters.
Angel Herrera-Flores (Lincoln High School)
Men's soccer sophomore Herrera-Flores netted a career-high three goals during the Loggers' 8-0 victory over Multnomah (Sept. 7). Puget Sound is unbeaten through the first three games of the season.
Colin Monaghan (Puyallup High School)
Monaghan, the reigning Northwest Conference Men's Cross Country Champion, placed fourth overall in a field of 57 runners during the Viking Rust Buster hosted by Portland State (Sept. 7). The race featured numerous NCAA D-I student-athletes.

Follow-up Comment #14, bug #52748 (project lwip): > Returning true when equal is both better for cyclic timers and is what the old implementation did. I don't see a need to change this. The macro name is wrong in this case, of course. Probably best to have a look at the actual uses of this macro. When inserting a new timeout it now places the new time after others with an equal time, so a FIFO, which seems good. When checking the timeouts if *returns* when 'now' is less than the next timeout (so handlers the next timeout if *equal*), and it seems best not to return if 'now' is equal. etc _______________________________________________________ Reply to this item at: <http://savannah.nongnu.org/bugs/?52748> _______________________________________________ Message sent via/by Savannah http://savannah.nongnu.org/

In a city that sometimes seems completely obsessed with the Yankees, the face of the baseball season is Jose Reyes. Smiling. Clapping his hands again. Having just ended up on second or third. Again. You tell me the last New York baseball player, other than Reyes, to play the game this way, at what feels like the speed of light. He got two more hits Wednesday night. The Mets won again. He continues to be the brightest star of his sport.
"I'm focused on what I'm doing right now," he says.
At a time when baseball needs players you want to watch, it is impossible to take your eyes off No. 7 of the Mets. With just three home runs he has carried his team more than anybody else in baseball. He has 15 triples already, has 41 multi-hit games out of the 80 the Mets have played. He now has six hits in the first two games of the Tigers series and his hitting .349, nobody close to that in the National League.
Three weeks into the season the Mets were 5-13 and there was Fred Wilpon sitting up in his suite with a writer from The New Yorker saying that Reyes wasn't going to get "Carl Crawford money," which means $20 million a year for a lot of years. It seemed like Wilpon was right at the time, even if he was wrong to be talking this way in front of a reporter. Now there is no telling what kind of money the Mets will be offering Reyes when they have exclusive negotiating rights once the season is over.
Nobody was supposed care about the Mets this season, nobody was supposed to watch them. Now everybody wants to see what Reyes is doing. There is never any script for these things, or timetable. At the age of 28, it is as if we have discovered Reyes all over again. He has made baseball seem like fireworks going off, almost every day.
Nobody knows what will happen with Reyes, whether he is here or gone next season. Maybe this really doesn't play out until the season is over and the Mets have a brief, exclusive right to negotiate with him, and will offer him enough money to stay. Or he will leave, get his Crawford money and maybe more than that somewhere else, as much as he says he loves playing in New York.
That is for down the road. For now a show such as this must be enjoyed, for as long as it lasts, celebrated as loud as ever at Citi Field.
The irony with Reyes is that even when he plays more like a kid than ever, he seems to have grown up. When asked Wednesday about the home series against the Yankees, Reyes' immediate response was this: "Right now we don't want to focus on the Yankees because we still have two more games here in Detroit."
Of course if you are Jose Reyes, No. 7 of the Mets in the summer of '11, if you are hitting the ball this way and being this kind of streak of light as you make your way around the bases, you really don't want to get ahead of yourself, you want to savor every day and night. The closest thing we have had lately to somebody such as Reyes - again: other than Reyes himself - was Rickey Henderson, when he was still young and leading off for the Yankees. But Henderson never had this kind of charm.
The Mets? They have never had anybody such as Reyes. Maybe that is why Mets fans are so desperate thinking that next year he might be playing somewhere else. He is not just the best player in town right now. He feels like the MVP of everything.
Wednesday I ask him if he is not just a better player than he has ever been before, but a better teammate as well.
Here is Reyes' answer: "I've been like that all my career man, I've been the same guy, same type of person in baseball, so nothing's changed for me, I just try to be with a lot of energy for my guys around me. I like to smile every day, I like to have fun, I like my teammates to have fun by the work that I do, so that's why they like me and I love them too, so we have good chemistry over here in this clubhouse with everybody so that's good to see."
He is asked if he HAS grown up.
"I'm 28 years old," he says, "so I know what I have to do to put my team in a great position to win every single night. It's about being on the field, having fun, enjoying it the most I can, being around my team."
The Mets were 5-13 on April 20. It took them 61 games to get over .500. Now they are two over .500. For two months now they have played as well as any of the top teams in baseball.
"We were worried about the way we played (at 5-13), but we believed in each other," Reyes said. "We knew it was going to get better, because we have a lot of talent to go around. We just went on the field and continued to play because somehow we knew that it was going to turn around."
It did. The biggest reason is Reyes. Adrian Gonzalez has a higher batting average. The Yankees have all those home run hitters. So far this season Reyes is the one to watch. At a time when we were supposed to be counting Derek Jeter's hits, we only want to watch Reyes run. This year the 4th of July fireworks are him.
