Sausage, Peppers and Onions
- 1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 pound sweet Italian turkey sausage
- 2 red bell peppers, sliced
- 2 yellow onions, sliced
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1/2 cup chopped fresh basil leaves
- 4 garlic cloves, chopped
- 2 tablespoons tomato paste
- 1 cup Marsala wine
- 1 (15-ounce) can diced tomatoes
- 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes, optional
- 4 to 6 fresh Italian sandwich rolls, optional
DirectionsWatch how to make this recipe.
Heat the oil in a heavy large skillet over medium heat. Add the sausages and cook until brown on both sides, about 7 to 10 minutes. Remove from the pan and drain.
Keeping the pan over medium heat, add the peppers, onions, salt, and pepper and cook until golden brown, about 5 minutes. Add the oregano, basil, and garlic and cook 2 more minutes.
Add the tomato paste and stir. Add the Marsala wine, tomatoes, and chili flakes, if using. Stir to combine, scraping the bottom of the pan with a wooden spoon to release all the browned bits. Bring to a simmer.
Cut the sausages into 4 to 6 pieces each, about 1-inch cubes. Add the sausage back to the pan and stir to combine. Cook until the sauce has thickened, about 20 minutes.
Serve in bowls. Or, if serving as a sandwich, split the rolls in half lengthwise. Hollow out the bread from the bottom side of each roll, being careful not to puncture the crust. Fill the bottom half of the roll with sausage mixture. Top and serve sandwiches immediately.

Couple shares foster parenting experience
The size of Brian and Tina Rondeau's still-in-the-nest family jumped from three members to six in a single day's time. Where before only they and their 10-year-old son lived together under the same roof, now their place also is filled with the laughter of three pre-school age youngsters.
The couple had long contemplated becoming foster parents, and in July 2012, they made it official by completing the necessary licensing requirements and gaining approval from the Alcona/Alpena/Montmorency Department of Human Services. Both say now, if they'd known how rewarding the foster parenting experience would be, they would have taken action much sooner.
"It took us a long time to go from our first thoughts of being foster parents to actually taking the steps," said Brian Rondeau.
Thanks to their adult daughter, a while back the couple got to know a young man who through no fault of his own had been raised in the foster care system most of his life and at age 21, still didn't have a sense of a "forever family." The Rondeaus embraced him and shared a sense of warmth and love. Getting to know him helped to solidify their decision to become foster parents.
"We knew that's where God was leading us," Brian Rondeau said. "People that need help seem to be all around us. This allows us to physically serve God and our community. It allows us to physically do something rather than just saying I should or I could."
With May recognized nationally as Foster Care Month, DHS foster care licensing worker Marci Sample hopes to put the spotlight on the need for more families like the Rondeaus. She said the need is great in all three local counties served, but particularly in Alcona County where there are currently no foster families willing to take in children.
"We have only nine homes in Alpena County, three in Montmorency and zero in Alcona," Sample said. "There currently are about 100 children in foster care. If we don't have enough homes here, we have to place them in other homes throughout the state."
Placement outside of the area often creates logistical challenges for the biological parents, the foster parents and those working with the families and children involved.
"Reunification is the goal," Sample said. "If you have foster families in the local area, it will help facilitate the parenting time and the reunification process versus having to go outside the county."
To help highlight the need for more foster care parents and increase awareness of the foster care program, several activities have been planned this month starting today with a Blue Ribbon Campaign. From 3:30-5 p.m., blue ribbons will be hung from the branches of trees on the Alpena County Circuit Court lawn. This is part of a national Blue Ribbon Campaign presented by the National Foster Parent Association.
Other planned activities include a community forum on foster care awareness set for May 20 from 6-8 p.m. at the Thunder Bay National Marine Sanctuary and an invitation to local churches to engage in a That First Night campaign to provide clothing and other items foster children may need for their first, often traumatic night in foster care.
For the Rondeaus, their experience as foster parents has helped to dispel misconceptions they believe many hold.
"Some of the misconceptions are that kids come into foster care because they are delinquent children," Tina Rondeau said. "They don't realize they're abused or neglected children and that a high percentage have no behavioral problems at all. Not all children in foster care have the severe emotional issues seen on television shows."
Before they followed through with their intentions to become foster parents, the Rondeaus sat down with their 10-year-old son and made sure he would be okay with the decision. They said it has been wonderful to see the three children they have taken in now laughing every day and having a good time together in their home.
The two realize they will only have the children in their home for about a year. Nevertheless, they are determined to love them for however long they have them, and then willingly let them go to return to their own family when the time is deemed right.
"You know in the beginning that you are not going to keep them. That's part of the training," Brian Rondeau said. "Reunification is the goal. It's not about us or our feelings. We're adults. We're able to handle our feelings."
The couple also said that being supportive of the biological parents is a big key.
"People deserve second chances," Tina Rondeau said. "You can't go against the parents. They need love and support just like their children do."
One aspect about foster care that surprised the couple was the financial stipend they receive from DHS. When they first agreed to become foster parents, neither of them realized they would receive any monetary assistance to help with clothing, food and transportation costs for the three children in their care.
They also didn't know that as foster parents they would be able to specify what gender and age group of children they believed would work best in their home.
"This makes it so it is not something that will stress your family unit," Tina Rondeau said.
Anyone who might be interested in becoming a foster parent may call the DHS office at 354-7200 and ask to speak to a foster care licensing worker.

Yangtze Cruise & Tibet Odyssey (2012)
18 Days from only $4199
Then journey into the Himalayas to get inspiration from the Tibetan Buddhism at Lhasa. Tour the Potala Palace, once the center of the Tibetan government and the former winter residence of the Dalai Lama, and visit Tibetan local family home. Soak the timeless beauty of Tibet highland and visit its holy lake of Yamdrok Yumtso.
Continue to Chongqing, China's most populous mountain city, to embark on your 3-night river cruise down the Yangtze. From the private balcony you witness the timeless landscapes along the Yangtze valley and sail through the picturesque Gorges and canyons. Tour the Three Gorges Dam site and fly to Shanghai, China's futurist city, where you tour the Shanghai Museum and experience the spectacular beauty of the Yu Garden, which reflects all elements of a classic Chinese garden. This vacation to China and Tibet intentionally planned in 18 days, with the wonderful Yangtze River Cruise, is an once-in-a-lifetime trip.
In my early career as a tour escort, I have been to Tibet 5 times and my experience has contributed to the design of this exciting itinerary for my customers: China Spree Travelers.
Intentionally planned for no more than 18 days, this tour includes only China's premiere destinations. China Spree offers a phenomenal itinerary that compasses the imperial city of Beijing, Historic Xian, mysterious Tibet, laid-back Chengdu, bustling Chongqing, a 3-night cruise down the Yangtze River, classic Suzhou, water town Tongli, and the ultra-modern metropolitan Shanghai.
Besides tours to the mystic lamaseries and temples in Lhasa, our exciting itinerary includes an excursion to the holy lake of Yamdrok Yumtsoso, which is 2 ½ hours from the city of Lhasa. Rarely included in conventional tours, this scenic excursion offers an opportunity to marvel at the magnificent and austere landscape of the Tibetan Plateau, but also gives you a nice break from peering at Buddhist deities and temples, which can be a bit too much for some travelers.
The Tibet portion of the tour is in the middle portion of the journey so you have ample time to recover from jet-leg and acclimatize to China's weather conditions before you arrive high on the Tibet Plateau at Lhasa, which is at an altitude of over 11,000 feet. We intentionally planned the 3-night Yangtze cruise to happen after your stay in Tibet so you can relax and see the Yangtze gorges from the comfort of your ship.
Your Yangtze cruise is a 3-night downstream journey aboard the newest and one of the finest Yangtze cruise ships-M.V. President Prime. By traveling downstream, the cruise is one day shorter than an upstream trip without compromising anything (actually the upstream is too long). This extra day is added to your time in Suzhou and Tongli, followed by a free day in Shanghai-a bargain shoppers' paradise.
An extension tour to Hong Kong is available; please call us for details.

Healthy Schools
It's a fact...childhood obesity is on the rise and the number of children who are overweight has tripled over the past 30 years. High cholesterol, heart disease and high blood pressure, all Illnesses that were once thought of as adult only, are now being diagnosed in children. Parents, you hold the key to keeping your kids at a healthy weight. It's important for you to establish a healthy lifestyle. Practice what you preach and your kids will follow in your footsteps. The Alliance for a Healthier Generation is taking the lead on empowering kids nationwide to make healthy lifestyle choices. The Healthy Schools Program is providing free support and resources to schools around the country who want to take the first step. Principal Ida Escobedo has seen firsthand how effective the program has been in her school and what it means to families. "We have so many students with childhood diseases and obesity and running a school with 500 students that brought my attention so I felt that was important to the campus". Healthy eating is one component...getting kids moving is just as important. Finding fun ways to immerse kids in a healthy lifestyle is easy...you just need to be a little creative. Principal Escobedo says "kids are learning to stay active number 1 they're learning to make good choices when they select foods they're also promoting good healthy habits at home". 15,000 schools nationwide are participating in The Healthy Schools Program. The goal is to reverse the trend and put an end to childhood obesity. To find out more on how your child's school can get started, go to healthygeneration.org. I'm Dr. Sue with The Kid's Doctor helping parents take charge.

Skip to comments.Climate change linked to 21,000 deaths in nine months (according to Oxfam)
Posted on 12/01/2010 3:59:38 PM PST by PROCON
Extreme weather events linked to climate change has caused the deaths of 21,000 people worldwide in the first nine months of 2010, according to Oxfam. This is already twice the casualties of 2009. In a new report More than ever: climate talks that work for those that need them most, the organization outlines the casualties of such weather-related disasters, for example devastating floods in Pakistan which killed 2,000 people and affected more than 20 million.
"This year has seen massive suffering and loss due to extreme weather disasters. This is likely to get worse as climate change tightens its grip. The human impacts of climate change in 2010 send a powerful reminder why progress in Cancun is more urgent than ever," report author Tim Gore said in a press release.
Officials from governments around the world are currently meeting in Cancun at this year's UN Climate Summit, however expectations are low for reaching an agreement.
Despite rising frustration with the international community's unwillingness to tackle climate change, Gore defends the UN as the best venue for such action: "[The UN] is the only forum where the world can decide on an effective global response to an unfolding global crisis. The UN process has helped to generate international pressure in the past few years. This has pushed countries to initiate their own domestic policy, set targets they otherwise would not have done, and start to address the adaptation needs of poor and vulnerable communities."
While a single weather event cannot be solely attributed to climate change, scientists have warned that a warming Earth will increase the number of severe weather occurrences and worsen the severity of such events. This year has produced a litany of severe weather-related events that were surprising in their ferocity: floods across the US, drought in the Amazon, monsoon rains in Southeast Asia, and a record-breaking heatwave in Russia. Given such disasters, both scientists and government officials are becoming less reticent this year in making the connection between severe weather and climate change.
FR blocks most liberal crap, some gets through.
We do not need this garbage posted on this site just so we can debate it.
Climate Change AKA Global Warming is now Extreme Weather Events; and so the train puffs through the long night...
Winter 50-51 was good for three feet+; came up to my armpits.

Speedy report is 'objective'
Before the Westfield and Brocton schools take the next step in a possible consolidation, a report by the consultants who worked with the districts and residents must be produced before Feb. 15.
It need not even take that long.
According to an article in this newspaper last week, the consultants have not come to a conclusion regarding whether the merger is best for the two enrollment-declining districts. "It's like being on a jury," said consultant Robert Christmann. "You listen to all the evidence before deciding on guilt or innocence. We have to stay objective; we trained ourselves to be."
But objectivity was disregarded before the process began. One consultant in this study previously publicly stated a disdain for school mergers. Another in the study has benefited financially from temporarily filling open superintendent positions due to the overabundance of districts in this county.
It must also be noted these consultants are not volunteers. They are paid for their work in this endeavor, which means they have something to gain in the process. When the consultants are done, they pick up and leave.
School board members, however, and those participating in this important task are not paid for their service and are accountable on a local level. Their service is important and appreciated.
Ongoing coverage from our staff writer Diane Chodan reveals the process has been well received from the community members involved with concerns voiced and benefits hailed.
In the end, the two districts have slashed staff, educational programming, athletics, extracurricular activities while the number of students at the districts and funds available have decreased. Do we really believe continuing down the same path is beneficial for both districts and its students, especially when the governor is talking about longer school days and years?
This report is a no-brainer, especially if it is "objective."

Jake Gibb catches his breath during his semifinal match on Saturday in Rome.
B.J. Hoeptner Evans
Manager, Communications
Phone: (719) 228-6800
E-Mail: firstname.lastname@example.com
COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. (June 16, 2012) – The U.S. men's beach volleyball team of Jake Gibb and Sean Rosenthal earned enough qualifying points to secure a USA Volleyball nomination to the 2012 U.S. Olympic Team on Saturday after advancing to the semifinals of the smart Grand Slam Rome in Italy.
Gibb and Rosenthal also made it into Sunday's gold medal match in Rome.
Gibb and Rosenthal clinched The Chase for London with their third-round victory on Saturday over Latvia's No. 11 Aleksandrs Samoilous and Ruslans Sorokins, 21-16, 18-21, 16-14 in 54 minutes.
"It has been a great week and a pretty good year," Rosenthal said. "It has been a huge year and an emotional year. Every tournament that we enter we want to win and we have the opportunity here. We still have work to do and we are excited to play tomorrow."
The U.S. pair went on to win its semifinal match over Switzerland's No. 25 Sasha Heyer and Sebastian Chevalier, 14-21, 21-16, 15-10 in 52 minutes and will play Brazil's top-seeded Emanuel Rego and Alison Cerutti in Sunday's gold medal contest.
"I was feeling it in my legs," Rosenthal continued. "I had a couple of cramps in my hamstrings at dinner. They are a good team. We were playing for a lot and it was a big match for us."
Gibb (Bountiful, Utah) and Rosenthal (Redondo Beach, Calif.) went into Rome leading their compatriots Matt Fuerbringer (Costa Mesa, Calif.) and Nick Lucena (Santa Barbara, Calif.) by 200 points in The Chase for London.
Fuerbringer and Lucena also advanced to the Rome semifinals, but lost their match to Rego and Cerutti, 21-18, 14-21, 15-10 in 53 minutes and will play Heyer and Chevalier for the bronze medal on Sunday.
In the women's event in Rome, the U.S. team of Jennifer Kessy (San Juan Capistrano, Calif.) and April Ross (Costa Mesa, Calif.) will play in Sunday's bronze medal match.
Gibb and Rosenthal opened play on Saturday by defeating Germany's No. 15=seeded Sebastian Dollinger and Stefan Windscheif in the second round, 21-15, 21-14 in 38 minutes. Fuerbringer and Lucena also won their second-round match over Italy's No. 10-seeded team of Matteo Ingrosso and Paolo Ingrosso, 21-18, 15-21, 15-11 in 1 hour, 4 minutes.
Fuerbringer and Lucena also won their third-round match over Czech Republic's No. 16 Premysl Kubala and Petr Benes, 21-18, 18-21, 15-12 in 56 minutes, but once Gibb and Rosenthal won their third-round match, Fuerbringer and Lucena could not have caught them.
It is the second time in 2012 that Rosenthal and Gibb have reached a Grand Slam final after they took silver in Shanghai. Previously they have won gold at the Acapulco Open in 2006 and the Prague Open in 2008, but so far a first Grand Slam gold has eluded them.
Now under the guidance of 1996 Olympic Games silver medalist Mike Dodd the hope is that they can end that run.
"I think he completely turned our year around," Gibb said "We were floundering around at the end of last year without direction and he took us in and absolutely changed our game. He really deserves a lot of the credit for our success this year."
On the women's side, Kessy and Ross, who have already secured enough qualification points for an Olympic nomination, won their third-round match over Germany's No. 24 Karla Borger and Britta Buthe, 21-16, 21-17 in 36 minutes.
However the U.S. pair fell in the semifinals to Germany's No. 10 Sara Goller and Laura Ludwig, 21-19, 21-17 in 45 minutes. Kessy and Ross will play Italy's No. 5 Greta Cicolari and Marta Menegatti in Sunday's bronze medal match.
The sixth-seeded U.S. women's beach volleyball team of Misty May-Treanor (Santa Monica, Calif.) and Kerri Walsh (San Jose, Calif.), which has also secured enough qualification points for a 2012 U.S. Olympic team nomination, fell in the third round to Cicolari and Menegatti, 21-18, 21-15 in 41 minutes and finished tie for fifth.

When the TV show Designing Women was at its heyday, there was an episode called "Working Mother" (October 1, 1990) where new stay-at-home mom Charlene and 9-to-5 mom Mary Jo get into a fight that starts when Mary Jo comments that it must be nice to watch soap operas all day. The two make up with the following conversation:
Charlene (referring to a neighbor who commented on Charlene's new position): I said I work – I work in the home. Something that …I have chosen carefully and thoughtfully and deserves respect.
Mary Jo: It's so hard these days – whatever choice a mother makes you feel guilty. Like the world is judging you whether they are or not. What we have to do, the stay-at-home moms and the 9-to-5 moms, is to keep from turning on each other.
Charlene: I have a confession: I was watching that soap.
At the end, they bring over a computer connected to one at Sugarbakers so Charlene, the accountant, can work from home since her replacement was an utter dunderhead.
But these two groups of women are nothing compared to this recent article about stay-at-home wives.
We're talking Samantha Stevens. We're talking Gabrielle Solis. We're talking Lucy Ricardo—pre Tabitha, the twins and Little Ricky.
"What do you do all day?" is a question Anne Marie Davis, 34, says she gets a lot.
Davis, who lives in Lewisville, Texas, isn't a mother, nor does she telecommute. She is a stay-at-home wife, which makes her something of a pioneer in the post-feminist world.
Dr. Scott Haltzman, author of "The Secrets of Happily Married Women," says stay-at-home wives constitute a growing niche. "In the past few years, many women who are well educated and trained for career tracks have decided instead to stay at home," he says. While his research is ongoing, he estimates that more than 10 percent of the 650 women he's interviewed who choose to stay home are childless.
Daniel Buccino, a Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine clinical social worker and psychotherapist, says stay-at-home wives are the latest "status symbols."
"It says, 'We make enough money that we both don't need to work outside the home,'" he says. "And especially with the recent economic pressures, a stay-at-home spouse is often an extreme and visible luxury."
Davis says her life isn't luxurious. "Tuesdays are my laundry day," she says. "I go grocery shopping on Wednesdays and clean house on Thursdays." Mondays and Fridays are reserved for appointments and other errands.
But her schedule also allows for charity work and leisure: reading, creative writing and exploring new hobbies, like sewing.
It's a lifestyle, Davis says, that has made her happier and brought her closer to her husband. "We're no longer stressed out," she says; because she takes care of the home, there are virtually no "honey-do" lists to hand over.
We're not talking about women with children. We are not talking about women who are older and their husbands are ill and need care. We are talking about women in their 20s, 30s and 40s who have to care only for themselves and their husbands.
Such a lifestyle is promoted highly on Web sites like ladiesagainstfeminism.com and www.retro-housewife.com.
A whole day to grocery shop? Does she just float from line to line – or from store to store?
Let's see. I commute to and from a full-time job five days a week, I'm on a neighborhood board and sisterhood board and I freelance. And with all that, I am able to not only spend quality time with my husband, but go grocery shopping, do laundry, keep things clean and do errands – plus have plenty of time for fun and relaxation.
It might make life less stressful for the wife, but I know that if I stayed home all day while my husband was in the rat race, it would cause more fights, not less.
I worked too hard to get where I am – and I'm still paying off a student loan. Should my husband be asked to pay it back for me? Does Mrs. Davis get an allowance?
Sorry stay-at-home wives … I think your days went out the door with black and white television, vacuuming in pearls and finishing schools.

Pita Jungle
Some myths never seem to go away. Case in point: healthy food is bland and boring.
Every item on Pita Jungle's wonderfully eclectic, "healthy Mediterranean"-style menu puts the lie to that old stereotype. The extensive menu includes inspired appetizers (cilantro jalapeno hummus, anyone?), shawarmas, veggie (or black bean or portobello mushroom) burgers, wood-fired pizzas, seasonal specials and a wide selection of salads, wraps, pitas and combo meals.
A substantial number of the menu items are vegetarian; quite a few are vegan. (Check the vegan chart on their Web site.) Desserts range from heavenly baklawa to piquant raspberry mango cheesecake to deliciously decadent chocolate cake. There's also a good selection of beer and wine.

Interviewed. Rejected. Called Again.
I had interviewed with a company a month back. According to my assessment, the interviews went fine and I was really keen to take up the role. After the interview, I was informed by the hiring manager that either he or the recruiter would schedule the final discussion. I didn't get any mail from either of them for a couple of weeks. However, at the beginning of the third week, I got a rejection mail from HR! It stated that they were keen to hire someone who fit the role better. I was really disappointed. I did not pursue the opportunity and planned to start interviewing with other companies. It's been a month now and I got a call from the same recruiter asking if I was still keen to take up further discussions. I asked about the rejection mail and he did not have an explanation for it. I'm still keen with the role, but a bit apprehensive.
What should I do? Do I go ahead with the discussion?
Well, it's not common. Yet, it does happen. There could be a few things that might have happened after they met you.
First, maybe the hiring manager met a more qualified candidate after he had met with you. He then decided to go with that candidate and asked the recruiter to send a rejection mail to you. They might have extended an offer to the candidate and he took time to decide, but eventually declined. If this happened, it's left the hiring manager in a quandary. He'll have to start the hunt for a new candidate, all over again. You were the next best candidate that came closest to meeting their requirements. It might explain why you were called again for the same role. The recruiter might not have much to say in this situation, it's the hiring manager's call.
Second, there's a possibility that the hiring manager had a re-think on your candidature. The interview feedback might not have looked good initially, but later the manager decided to give it another shot. He might want to re-evaluate specific skill-sets, that they couldn't assess in the earlier rounds. Again, if this is the case, the recruiter is really just following instructions.
Third, the recruiter might have screwed-up. Really. It's possible. He could have got a negative feedback from one of the interviewers you had met and he acted real quick. Later, the hiring manager asked him to schedule you for further rounds of discussion. Now, he has to salvage the situation, by getting you back for the next round of interview.
None of these are examples of a robust hiring process. Yet, these do happen and also brings out the flaws or gaps in communication between the hiring managers and the recruiters. Noticeably, the hiring manager has informed you that he/recruiter will schedule the final discussion! I really doubt if the hiring manager is the one making the final decision on hiring you. Clearly, someone higher-up in the chain is the key decision-maker.
I would suggest that you take up the discussion with the hiring manager. Ask him candidly about the rejection mail. You may also want to ask them one more thing; what made them reconsider your candidature? Your only chance to find that out is to have a discussion. Get the answers and you can then decide whether you want to pursue the opportunity or not. I would also suggest that you keep your options open, getting recalled for an interview doesn't necessarily mean they are going to offer you the role.
Good luck!

I have seen all three cases.Unfortunate but it happens.
Chances of such cases are higher in services companies, where volume is too high.

The oil and gas industry's 'social license' to use groundwater without limit may no longer be a given.downstream into water sources for Pittsburgh and other cities, with uncertain health consequences.
'It is highly likely that more water is withdrawn and more waste generated than is known,' says a report.radioactive elements, such as radium, loosened during the fracking process.
New technology includes mobile filtration plants to filter the flowback of fracking fluids.and schools is cause for concern, especially given the presence of radium and other pollutants in fracking wastewater. According to Brown, more than 50 families have called the center, or were referred by doctors, after experiencing rashes, gastrointestinal conditions, or other health concerns. After ruling out pre-existing conditions or symptoms triggered by other causes, Brown said, the center's medical staff concluded that 17of the 50 cases may have been caused by exposure to pollutants.
Levels of radium 200 times higher than normal were found in sediment downstream.streams or other water sources. But while there have been improvements in storage and treatment technology, there hasn't been "an overall industry solution for flowback in Pennsylvania and Ohio," said Anthony Ingraffea, an engineering professor at Cornell University. "In Pennsylvania, disposal of wastewater has been and will remain a chronic problem because they produce it in very large quantities," Ingraffea said.

>Runner's World - My Event Ratings>
In short: It says tough it was toughIn full: The pre race information was very good with regular email updates. The regular warnings about using the toilets provided rather than the side of the road left me concerned about hoards of villagers with cameras waiting to catch the miscreants in action.On arrival there was a well marshalled large field for parking and a short walk to the race HQ at The Swallow Inn. Collection of numbers and chip timers was easy and quick.The race information was given on a village green and then a little trot or walk up a hill to the start. Anyone who tells you that Lincolnshire is flat has never been to the Wolds! The course saw serious hills between miles 3 and 4 as well as 6 and 7. Then just as you think you have done the hills another one hits you just before mile 8. Once you have reached 9 it has to be downhill again, yes, to a point. Then a shorter one finishes you off. A good and welcoming finish back at The Swallow with a bottle of water, running shirt and hot sandwich with a massage if you want to queue.The course had an abundance of signs and loads of cheerful marshals. I found those at marshal point 10 and 18 particularly vocal in a positive way.It was tough but that was how it was advertised and would consider doing it again.Date of review: August 30, 2014
In short: Great pre race information, marshals and scenery but hard as nailsIn full: I entered this race to be in the same race as one of my sons. The pre race information was good and I was kept up to date by email. My son collected my number on the Saturday so I did not need to register.On arrival there was plenty of parking, toilets and entertainment for all the family. The race started on time and immediately we were on an uphill climb within the grounds of Hitchin Priory, down then up before leaving the park.It may be my recollection but this course always seemed to be going up or down. Some slight and long but some incredibly steep. This was not hard it was horrendous!There were five water stations and very welcome on this very hot day. The marshals were inspiring and the spectators supportive. We passed two pubs on this course and I have to say I was tempted!This is a well organised event but not for the feint hearted.Date of review: June 22, 2014
In short: Well organised, great Marshall's but not flatIn full: Let's say the heat today did not lead to a PB for me. I had entered hoping as worst case scenario for 3.59 with a real hope of 3.45. The race started well with half runners and full runners starting together. This is not a problem other than many runners who could not do a great time starting at the front or near to and left a lot of dodging and weaving. The other thing is that the pace makers, great idea had blue balloons to say who they were but their pace was on their shirt so difficult to find the pace one wanted. The first 10 miles is very much on closed roads with brilliant and enthusiastic Marshall's. Then the two parts separate. I was pleased with my time up to 12 miles and ahead of the time I was hoping for. Unfortunate land not the fault of the organisers is that we had the hottest day of the year and the heat got to me. My time from 12 onwards went down hill. This is also an event advertised as flat - this was not flat with some very long hills. It is important here to use the downhills to your advantage. The finish is in Stadium MK, a great ending. Spectators were very supportive all the way round and the off road aspect is very scenic, though don't ask me where have been in Milton Keynes today!Overall well organised, great Marshall's, fantastic spectators and a scenic route. Too hot for me but a nice medal after running around Stadium MK.Date of review: May 5, 2014
In short: Great views, tough hills and well organisedIn full: This is the first time that I have entered this race. Signing up was easy but I did have to check with the organisers that I had entered rather than just imagined it. Lots of information came by e-mail as race day approached and there was a Facebook page to look up as well. Race day was a lovely warm one so no gloves or double shirt for a change. The race starts and finishes in the sports ground and there are loads of facilities there including, changing, food, toilets and somewhere to sit as well as an easy pick up of numbers and chip. The race itself takes you out into the country, along the canal and up two steep hills. An opportunity to overtake or walk quickly, I chose the overtakes. The marshalls were great and there was plenty of water stations. Much of the route has little support but on entering the track at tje end there was a good and supportive crowd. Well done Grantham for a good Sunday morning event.Date of review: March 17, 2014
In short: Well Organised and wonderful atmosphereIn full: I had not run a marathon for 30 years and decided that 2013 was going to be my second. In addition I had never been to Jersey and therefore the opportunity for both was the driver to tackle this one.16 weeks of training however was nearly wrecked by a calf strain in the latter part of week 15 but with two sessions of physio and strapping for the event I was all set to go.A downside to the race, if there is such a thing is that you have to register on Jersey as the number and chip are not sent out. When initially booking ferries and hotel I had not realised that and almost missed the opportunity to register and ended up having to alter the outgoing ferry and booking another night in the hotel. Having arrived on the Friday afternoon I went to register at the marathon village. I arrived early but the really nice people at registration gave me my envelope before the due time - thanks for that. Now the envelope basically contained my number and a chip, most organisations now send these out to runners and perhaps the organisers could consider that for the future.The pasta party was a good opportunity to carb up but also to meet other runners and to realise that they too have the same degree of trepidation you do. The food was good though the servers did not seem to understand what was expected of them and the owner/ manager of the catering had to continually tell them.The day of the race and a short walk from the hotel to the start for me.The race takes the runners through the town of St Hellier and then out into the country before returning along the seafront. At 1.5 miles unfortunately my calf started to cramp up and caused a lot of pain but I had come to Jersey to run and I was determined to finish, though my hope of 3.50 hours was dashed.The first four miles are fairly flat but then you are taken up fairly steeply and a lot of the runners who had dashed off found the climb difficult. Once at the top though there is slight undulation but mainly flat. All along, even in the smaller hamlets there was amazing support and brilliant marshalls. The run takes the runner around the airport and then almost to the 'Lands End' of Jersey before heading back. From mile 21 for about two miles there is a wonderful downward stretch, again steep but gives the opportunity of regaining a bit of speed.At the base of the hill is the seafront and then a few miles to the end still with brilliant support and as you approach the finish the road and the run in are crammed with people willing you on.At the finish there is an area for runners to collapse and also obtain water before moving into the tent to collect your tee shirt, goody bag and medal.There are about twelve water stations on route and some have the choice of poweraid as an alternative.Personally I didn't like having the marathon relay running at the same time but only because after change over 2 for the relay I was being overtaken on a regular basis by relay runners which I found off putting.The calf? I made it to the end in 4.17.12, disappointed but at the same time pleased that I had achieved my goal despite the constant pain.Date of review: October 14, 2013
In short: Very hilly with great marshalls and well organisedIn full: The race itself starts in the town centre and registration took place at The Eastgate Pub. A good location for refreshment and toilets prior to the event.The race started on time and is downhill and then flat for the first 4 miles. The only issue happened early on when we turned into a road being dug up and the majority of runners funnelled through a narrow gap. Don't be fooled by the downhill though as between 4 and 5 and 7 and 8 miles there are very testing uphill stretches, steep and long.The marshalls were enthusiastic and supportive and there was plenty of water stations.Overall a good run out on a warm morning.Date of review: September 22, 2013
In short: A good run around Regents ParkIn full: I live in Lincolnshire and entered this race as I was coming down to London anyway. That said from the time I entered to race day the organisers kept in touch by e-mail and instructions and my number arrived in plenty of time. The race itself is chip timed and I look forward to the accurate result. The event involves three loops of Regents Park and as the event does not involve the closure of the park and negotiating walkers and dogs was from time to time a challenge. The weather was good, not too hot and not too cold and the marshals were friendly and there was no chance of getting lost. Well done organisers I look forward to another event in the future.Date of review: August 11, 2013
In short: Well organised with a great atmosphereIn full: The pre race organisation was superb, my number arrived in good time together with a sheet giving me all the advance detail I would need. On arrival at the sports ground it was easy to park and find friends. We were led to the start by marshalls with large banners and the start was marked with pens to indicate potential times. The weather was warm and the race got underway. The marshals were encouraging and from time to time spectators were out in the villages. Upon arriving back in Long Bennington there was a lot more spectators and encouraged runners to a fast finish. Although this was not my best time I enjoyed the event and the bottle of beer at the end is a nice touch. Changing facilities are available here but I have to say with about 20 men in a small room changing was a bit of a challenge. I will certainly be looking to enter again next year. Well done Grantham!Date of review: June 24, 2013
In short: A good turn out on a sunny morningIn full: This is the third time I have run this race and each year it becomes more popular. The organisation before the race was very good and I received my number and instructions early. Car parking this year was away from Jubilee Park and this led to a fair walk into the park and then out again for the start. The route itself is not spectator friendly until you get back into Woodhall Spa but from time to time within villages people have come out to applaud. At the end there is an inspirational number of spectators leading to sprint finishes. The views as you run round the route are good and there is room for overtaking if you want to after the first 500 metres. A bottle of water, medal and a BBQ with friends at the end.Date of review: June 2, 2013
In short: Shame about distance but still a good runIn full: The organisers could do nothing about the bridge and I found it amusing that when the announcement came that the distance had been shortened there was a sigh from the front runners and a cheer from those at the back.This is my second running of this event and last year was cold and wet but was the first time I had broken 50 minutes. This time looking at my time and adjusting I would have been under 46, never mind.The atmosphere from spectators varied from place to place but overall supportive. I will be signing up for next year.Date of review: May 19, 2013

(COLORADO SPRINGS, COLO.) - USA Boxing is pleased to announce a new alliance with Golden Boy Promotions, one of the leading boxing promotional companies in the world, under which USA Boxing and Golden Boy Promotions will collaborate on numerous marketing, media, broadcast and consulting efforts.
"Golden Boy Promotions has set the gold standard in terms of a top-quality approach to the sport and business of boxing," said USA Boxing CEO, Jim Millman. "This alliance will help USA Boxing accelerate its growth and development in many areas, while giving our elite athletes the benefit of more time spent with Oscar de la Hoya."
"Beyond the obvious sports marketing opportunities that this alliance offers both partners, we're delighted about the important connection it establishes for Golden Boy Promotions with amateur boxing," added Golden Boy Promotions CEO, Richard Schaefer. "USA Boxing events were important benchmarks in the early development of Oscar's career and his Olympic Gold Medal in 1992 was one of the greatest moments in Olympic history. We are greatly looking forward to working with USA Boxing during these exciting years of its development."
One of the many benefits of the newly created alliance will be Golden Boy Promotions' new relationship with AEG, one of the world's leading sports and entertainment presenters, in coordinating potential venues for select USA Boxing national and international events. Golden Boy and USA Boxing will work together on sponsorship strategies as well as developing media, digital and event content. Ring Magazine, one of Golden Boy Enterprises' recent acquisitions, will also become a focal point of the alliance, relative to editorial coverage, advertising opportunities and subscription promotion for USA Boxing members.
The alliance also establishes a platform for De La Hoya to spend added time in Colorado Springs at the Olympic Training Center with the U.S. National & Olympic Teams athletes.
Founded in 2001 by 10-time world champion and 1992 Olympic Gold Medalist, Oscar de la Hoya, Golden Boy Promotions has quickly become one of the most powerful boxing promotional companies in the business. Boasting an impressive roster of close to 60 fighters, from future hall of famers Bernard Hopkins, Sugar Shane Mosley, Juan Manuel Marquez and Marco Antonio Barrera to current world champions Ricky Hatton, David Haye, Joel Casamayor, Israel Vazquez and Gerry Peñalosa, Golden Boy has catapulted to the top of the field in less than a decade. Also included on the company's roster are top contenders, Juan Diaz, Daniel Ponce De Leon, Jhonny Gonzalez, Librado Andrade and Rey Bautista; 2000 United States Olympians Rocky Juarez and Jeff Lacy; 2004 United States Olympians Abner Mares, Vicente Escobedo and Rock Allen; and highly regarded prospects Danny Garcia, Jermell Charlo, Hylon Williams and Carlos and Juan Velasquez.
"When Olympic champions like Oscar de la Hoya find outstanding career success, it reflects positively on the Olympic movement and becomes another source of inspiration and motivation to every young athlete," said USOC Chairman, Peter Ueberroth. "Having one of the premier companies in boxing, and one of the greatest champions in Olympic history, Oscar de la Hoya, partner with our Olympic National Governing Body is an extremely positive development."

The Runners' Web - Page 3
I must have high-fived literally hundreds of people--I just ran past the crowds with my hand held out and touched hand after hand. By mile 20, my hands were numb and stinging. Whenever I felt tired, there would be some little kid with shining eyes by the side of the road holding out their hand, so I would do run over and do another high five and instantly feel better. I saw people from Germany, Japan, South Korea, Canada, Italy, Austria, Brazil, Mexico, New Zealand running. I sat next to a woman from France on the bus ride to the start.
The marathon course passes Wellesley College. One of the traditions of the Boston Marathon is that the Wellesley College Scream Tunnel.
The students hold signs saying "Kiss Me" and a million variations on that theme ("Kiss Me, I'm from California," "Kiss Me, I'm A Masshole," "Kiss Me, I'm Graduating Without A Job! "), and they cheer so loudly that you can literally hear them half a mile before you see them. Boston College too--the students line the barricades screaming and holding out their hands to you.
When you enter the race's final stretch the cheering is deafening and that whole area is packed with spectators. It always is a huge thrill to see the finish line of any race, especially a marathon, but this time I had a twinge of regret that this amazing experience was about to end.
A runner next to me turned to me and said, "Isn't this AWESOME?" I just pumped my arms in the air in agreement and cheered. We crossed the finish line.
I wanted to linger and see more, but I left instead.
I used to joke and say that running the Boston Marathon feels something like what the liberation of Paris in 1944 must have felt like for American troops. OK, that's facetious, but a tiny bit true. Is there another sport where people come out to root for total strangers, who are neither famous nor winning?
Up until I heard the news about the bombs, it was a beautiful weekend in Boston. Perfect weather. A tremendous event. I was thrilled to be there for the second time.
It's hard to describe how much joy and energy and trust the whole big-city marathon experience contains. It's open to everyone—just make your way to the road to join the party.
I think people realize, even if they don't run, that there's something simple and primal about you and the marathon distance. I think they know that the hardest parts aren't the middle miles, but at the start and during the final miles—when you have to decide to begin, and then decide to continue when it would be so much easier not to.
That to finish the race, at those points, from the heart, you must say a great big YES to the entire race, and accept everything it will hand you.
I didn't see or hear the explosions yesterday. I was spared. What I saw instead was something much better, and I hope ultimately more memorable. I saw the race itself.
SCOTT DUNLAP, 43, of Woodside, California, covers trail running on A Trail Runner's Blog (this article an excerpt from his blog). The race was his ninth consecutive Boston Marathon, and he says he will definitely return next year.
Scott Dunlap running Boston, April 15, 2013, with Joan Benoit Samuelson in the background.
The finish line was packed by the time I got there, and my functional alcoholism was getting impatient with a 15-to-20 minute wait for a beer. Especially on a PR day! I decided to walk several blocks down Boylston Street and find a pub, and soon was clinking pints with fellow runners and sharing our stories. Then we heard it ... a sound that will stay with us for the rest of our lives.
BOOM. A few seconds later, another one. BOOM. What was that? A celebration? A gas leak? Within seconds we had our answer, as all we could see through the pub front window was thousands of people running with panic in their eyes. A crying woman stepped into the pub, saying something about an explosion at the finish line, bodies and limbs ... We all stood there in shock. A few minutes later, the TVs were turned to the live coverage and we got the unfiltered clarity of the horror. It was surreal to see it on TV while hearing the crowds outside, and seeing and smelling the smoke. My senses said to run, but I didn't think it made sense to go anywhere for the time being. But a few minutes later, the pub owner said they were closing. All of the blocks near the explosion were being evacuated.
On the curb, the scene was intense. Nobody could find their loved ones, and feared the worst. Names were being screamed out in helplessness. Local Bostonians couldn't believe what was happening in their community, and tears streamed down their faces. Sirens echoed down the city streets, and bomb units moved in. I hustled across the Boston Commons park and stepped into another pub with lots of big TV screens, texting my wife and parents that I was OK before the phone lines jammed up. The efficiency of the Boston Police Department, medical teams and volunteers was stunning, and the medical tents at the finish line quickly turned into MASH units. The videos showed as many runners going to the scene as running away from it, and it was clear there were 100 people helping on scene within five seconds. Then the counts started to come in ... three dead (including an eight-year-old boy), 125-plus injured, 10-plus amputations already.
Tragic. Senseless. I felt nothing. I couldn't even conjure up anger or denial. It was similar to when I narrowly missed the 9/11 tragedy 12 years ago and couldn't feel anything for days. I needed to do something. I needed to help.

The holidays are a crazy time of shopping, sending greeting cards and entertaining guests, so it's no surprise that your makeup may not be able to keep up with your active schedule. Luckily, with the use of a heated eyelash curler and a bit of tube mascara, you can be the perfect host without having to worry about your look, according to HometownLife.com.
Primer is the secret to crafting a beautiful look that can handle the rigors of cooking meals and chasing after children. Be sure to use it before you apply eyeshadow or foundation for a superior hold throughout your gathering.
Curling your lashes with a heated eyelash curler and then using water-resistant mascara can help them maintain a well-manicured look during your festivities. Be sure to apply one coat of mascara at a time to avoid the risk of lashes clumping together.
Paying attention to your eyebrows may go overlooked this holiday season, so stay protected with blinc Eyebrow Mousse. This will help provide water-resistant color to fill in your eyebrows and moisturize the skin underneath.

Britain's Got Talent winners Ashleigh and Pudsey came in to chat to our reporter Jo Parkerson and you can listen to her full interview with Ashleigh and a sleepy Pudsey below.
The film is all about Pudsey the dog and the adventures he gets up to with comedian David Walliams as his voice. Ashleigh described how the film seemed a natural progression from winning the TV series back in 2012, but due to various commitments they hadn't managed to work on a feature film until last year.
When asked about Pudsey's stunts in the film Ashleigh said "he's like the canine Tom Cruise..."
The film is out now and you can watch the film trailer below.

Division of Alcoholic Beverages and Tobacco Arrests 17 at the University of Central Florida Versus the University of East Carolina Football Game
November 1, 2010
ORLANDO—The Department of Business and Professional Regulation's Division of Alcoholic Beverages and Tobacco agents arrested 17 individuals for underage possession of alcoholic beverages during the University of Central Florida versus the University of East Carolina football game on Saturday.
Underage drinking prevention is one of the division's top priorities. In its third year, The Charmer Sunbelt Group (CSG) together with Florida's Department of Business and Professional Regulation, Brown-Forman Corporation, The Retail Beverage Council of the Florida Retail Federation, Premier Beverage, CBS Radio, WAXY "The Ticket" and TURF spokesman Boomer Esiason collaborated on an integrated program designed to promote safe and responsible tailgating at Florida sporting events.
Establishments that sell alcohol to individuals under the age of 21 three times within a 12-week period face up to a $1,000 fine and a seven-day license suspension. Individuals who sell or give alcohol to underage youth face a maximum penalty of 60 days in jail and a $500 fine. A new law stiffens criminal penalties for anyone caught two or more times giving alcohol to underage drinkers. Anyone who facilitates underage drinking will be subject to a first-degree misdemeanor on the second offense.
The mission of ABT is to keep alcohol and tobacco out of the hands of underage persons, to ensure that licensed establishments are in compliance with the laws and rules regulating the industry in Florida, and to collect taxes and fees related to these industries.
DBPR's mission is to license efficiently and regulate fairly. DBPR licenses more than one million businesses and professionals ranging from real estate agents, veterinarians, and accountants to contractors and cosmetologists. For more information, please visit www.MyFloridaLicense.com.

Making Regression Tables in Stata
The estout package provides tools for making regression tables in Stata (www.stata.com). The package currently contains the following programs.
esttab: Command to produce publication-style regression tables that display nicely in Stata's results window or, optionally, are exported to various formats such as CSV, RTF, HTML, or LaTeX. esttab is a user-friendly wrapper for the estout command.
estout: Generic program to compile a table of coefficients, "significance stars", summary statistics, standard errors, t- or z-statistics, p-values, confidence intervals, or other statistics for one or more models previously fitted and stored. The table is displayed in the results window or written to a text file for use with, e.g., spreadsheets or LaTeX.
eststo: Utility to store estimation results for later tabulation. eststo is an alternative to official Stata's estimates store. Main advantages of eststo over estimates store are that the user does not have to provide a name for the stored estimation set and that eststo may be used as a prefix command.
estadd: Program to add extra results to the returns of an estimation command. This is useful to make the the results available for tabulation.
estpost: Program to prepare results from commands such as summarize, tabulate, or correlate for tabulation by esttab or estout.

>Runner's World - My Event Ratings>
In short: Tough, but worth itIn full: Fabulous fabulous race. From the rain sodden Jerusalem to the crazy muddy course (Tough Mudder? Pah!) to the slippery stony ascents and descents to the windy hills and monsoon conditions this was a wonderful event. Organisation was like clockwork as always, a sense of humour pervaded everything and the participants all encouraged each other superbly. Where else would the race leader take the time to slow down slightly and offer words of encouragement to other runners? I enjoyed this so much I'm actually considering the Picnic!Date of review: October 14, 2013
In short: Mildly hills, very pretty, most enjoyable.In full: Lovely day out. Well organised, lots of loos, queues at check in weren't too bad, plenty of parking.The run itself was very pretty - a mixture of trail and road but the vast majority of the roads were very very quiet. Lots of nice views from the top of the Hogs Back.All in all, a good event.Date of review: December 5, 2012
In short: Another scorcher but a lovely day out and the lack of the killer hill at 11 miles was most welcome. Will be back.Date of review: September 28, 2009
In short: Fabulous day. Comedy wife carrying, the national anthem and then a run in the woods. I'm having trouble walking today but I'll definitely be back next yearDate of review: March 9, 2009

Comprehensive DescriptionRead full entry
BiologyAdults inhabit upper edge of outer reef slopes and inshore rocky reefs. Juveniles associated with drifting seaweed (Ref. 12114, 12115). Benthopelagic (Ref. 58302). Feed on zooplankton, benthic algae, and small invertebrates (Ref. 1602). Often in aggregations (Ref. 9710) feeding at midwater or tending nests among rocks and coral ledges (Ref. 90102). In large numbers at spawning sites that are timed with large tides that carry their pelagic offspring far offshore (Ref. 48636). Oviparous, distinct pairing during breeding (Ref. 205). Eggs are demersal and adhere to the substrate (Ref. 205). Males guard and aerate the eggs (Ref. 205).

Lupus, also called systemic lupus erythematosus or SLE, is a disease that affects your immune system. Normally, your immune system fights infections caused by germs. Instead of protecting your body, your immune system makes the mistake of attacking your body's healthy cells. Lupus can affect almost any part of your body, including your joints, skin, kidneys, heart, lungs, blood vessels, and brain. There is no way to know what part of your body will be affected. For most people though, lupus is a mild disease affecting only a few parts of your body, and some patients don't get inner organ problems (like in the heart and lungs), but do have skin and joint problems. Normally, lupus develops slowly, with symptoms that come and go. For some, it can cause serious and even life-threatening problems. Even for patients with diseases that hurt their organs, with good care and management and a strong partnership between a patient and her health care provider, the prognosis is good.
Lupus affects up to 1.4 million people in the United States. About 9 out of 10 people who have lupus are women. Lupus is 3 times more common in black women than in white women. It is also more common in women of Hispanic/Latina, Asian, and American Indian descent. Black and Hispanic/Latina women tend to develop symptoms at an earlier age than other women. African Americans have more severe organ problems, especially with their kidneys. Each person with lupus has slightly different symptoms that can range from mild to severe and may come and go over time. Because many people with lupus are sensitive to sunlight (called photosensitivity), skin rashes often first develop or worsen after sun exposure.
In an autoimmune disorder like lupus, the immune system cannot tell the difference between foreign substances and its own cells and tissues. The immune system then makes antibodies that, simply put, attack the body itself. This causes inflammation, pain and damage to various organs.
Sometimes people with lupus experience a "flare." This occurs when some symptoms appear for short periods then disappear. Even if you take medicine for lupus, you may find that there are times when the symptoms become worse. Learning to recognize that a flare is coming can help you take steps to cope with it. Many people feel very tired or have pain, a rash, a fever, stomach discomfort, headache, or dizziness just before a flare.
There is no one test to diagnose lupus, and it may take months or years to make the diagnosis. There is no cure for lupus, but medicines and lifestyle changes can help control it.
Also called: Discoid lupus, SLE, Subacute cutaneous lupus, Systemic lupus erythematosus
The cause of lupus is not known. It is likely that there is no single cause but a combination of genetic, environmental, and possibly hormonal factors that work together to cause the disease. Lupus is not contagious-you can't catch it from someone. No specific "lupus gene" has been found, but it does run in families.
