text: The so-called golden age of Athenian culture flourished under the leadership of Pericles (495-429 B.C.), a brilliant general, orator, patron of the arts and politician—"the first citizen" of democratic Athens, according to the historian Thucydides. Pericles transformed his city's alliances into an empire and graced its Acropolis with the famous Parthenon. His policies and strategies also set the stage for the devastating Peloponnesian War, which would embroil all Greece in the decades following his death.

If you haven't seen the highlights of the Barcelona vs. PSG match yet, then make some time this weekend to take in what is undoubtedly one of the best football matches ever, let alone a stunning comeback. Bookmakers had placed Barca at 200-1 odds to progress.
Trailing 4-0 from their first leg, many football experts had all but written Barcelona off. PSG clearly thought the same when they finished the first leg game. Nobody could believe that the formidable Barcelona could lose by such a big margin but at the same time, there was a feeling that if anyone could score four goals to get to extra time, this Barcelona team could.
From the first whistle, viewers knew that this game was going to be a treat. Barcelona hadn't turned up to make up the numbers; they genuinely believed that they could get this back. Suarez scored within the first three minutes to set the tone for a game that could be described as anything but boring.
They took it up to 3-0 and had the Nou Camp crowd in full belief that they were going to achieve this astonishing comeback. However, anguish followed for the home fans and players, as Cavani managed to hit one back for PSG. At 5-3 on aggregate to PSG and a vital away goal, this meant that Barca had to somehow score a further 3 goals. Surely it couldn't be done? As the clock ticked down and only 5 minutes of time remaining, Neymar suddenly scored two goals within the same number of minutes. They had a few minutes, plus stoppage time to try and grab that third goal. Almost inevitably, they snatched a goal in the dying seconds to achieve probably the most amazing comeback in football history.
Steven Gerrard was in the TV studio covering the game, and straight away people were drawing comparisons to that unforgettable match back in 2005 when Gerrard inspired his Liverpool team to fight back from 3-0 down at half-time to go on to win on penalties. Given how desperate they looked in the first half, just to not concede any more goals was an achievement. The fact that they were already huge underdogs before the game made this game even more special.
In 2005, Leeds had a remarkable comeback of their own in the Championship against Southampton. After being 3-0 down at half-time, there wasn't much hope to turn things around in the second half. Maybe the exploits of Liverpool just six months earlier was in the back of the players' minds as they went to task, trying to find a miracle comeback of their own.
It wasn't until the 71st minute that Leeds managed a consolation goal through Butler. At least 3-1 didn't look as bad on paper. But then the next ten minutes saw an astonishing further three goals go past a bewildered Southampton team. The mighty Leeds were victorious with one of their very own near-impossible comebacks.
Best comebacks of all time

And I'm sick of the 'consent' argument used by abusive men- if someone asks you to push them off a cliff, because they like it, and you do it, how does that make you any less a murderer? If you beat a woman because she 'likes' it, how are you any less a batterer? If you are willing to harm people this way, you need to lock yourself away from women... so they don't have to lock themselves away from you. The moral bankrupcy (can't spell) is astounding, the lack of empathy and responsibility for one's own actions unforgiveable.I really need something more coherent to say to this nonsense than "Fucking hell," but at the moment it's not coming.
I'm not a straight male top, but... I spent quite a lot of time as a teen going to shrinks specifically because I thought being a sadomasochist meant I *should* be locked away so as not to harm people, consenting or not.
Laurelin will probably take this as evidence of how thoroughly morally bankrupt the patriarchy is that no one ever did commit me and most tried to help me learn to like myself, but as far as I can tell they were right... and I think my partners would say the same, though if we're presuming me a rapist, perhaps it's better to ask them.
Aside from my personal feelings of complete rage that someone knows based on politics and nothing else whether I deserve my liberty (or do I get a free pass because I happen to be female? Sounds quite essentialist to me, which that side is always claiming not to be), I think there's political reason to be bothered by this as well.
And that is that if you define a batterer as someone who does what they do regardless of consent, then you erode the distinction between sex and rape. Rape is no longer about what someone wants and doesn't want, but about which actions line up on some Official Political Scoreboard with degradation and which don't.
And going down that road is dangerous, to me, because however well-intentioned we begin, it's destined not to capture some people's realities. What happens when battery has a specific definition, for example, and touching someone gently while gazing into her eyes and cooing doesn't fit it, and she didn't want your hand on her? What is she supposed to do?
Or is the new definition of rape something like "anything someone doesn't want and this appended list of things they do?" Well, that's marginally better, but then aren't you losing the heart and soul of what's wrong with rape in the first place?
Rape isn't wrong because specific actions, such as putting a penis into a vagina, are wrong. Those things are not wrong at all in the proper context. Rape is wrong because it violates a person. It disrespects her bodily autonomy. It treats her body as something she doesn't control. None of which applies at all to anything anyone consented to.
Now, could someone, in the recesses of his mind, be thinking "God, I hate this fucking slut, and I want to destroy her with my Corrupting Evil Polluting Wang of Poisonous Evil" as he does whatever, while blissfully unaware she thoroughly enjoys everything he does? Sure, and in that case, yes, he is a horribly nasty git... but how is he a rapist? Rape is not a mindset or an attitude, it's a violation.
Egh. I'm not even sure I'm adequately coherent here. But this whole redefining rape as "whatever our theory says is bad for women" rather than as "nonconsent" (or even as anything about women feeling violated!) not only bothers, but honestly scares me.
I honestly pray that these women never find themselves in that world, trying to explain "But... I didn't consent!" to people who understand rape as only what the theory of the day considers degrading.

I've used a few products in my time that were geared towards first person games that were hit and miss. Some of the configurations were great to use while others fall flat. Ideazon, makers of the transforming ZBoards, has come out with another keyboard that takes their popular large WASD configuration and attached it to a regular keyboard. Dubbed the MERC, we're taking a look at this new product to see if it really does help you in FPS gameplay.
As you can see from the pictures, the MERC there's a 34 key gaming pad titled at 11 degrees on the left side of the product. The setup is similar to the ZBoard from Ideazon but there are some placement differences. For example, the number keys are more clustered above the movement keys than on the ZBoard keyset. Another example of a small change from the keyset is that there's another button to the left of the jump key.
If you haven't seen the ZBoard FPS keyset, the keys are sized and placed to be idea for those types of games. The movement keys are enlarged so they are easily reached while the placement of the number keys in two rows will make it easy for you to change weapons without moving your hand away from the WASD keys. The more widely used keys such as use, reload, and voice are also placed closely to the movement setup.
Another nice feature of the gaming side is that the various buttons have different shapes and feel to them so you can easily tell what you are pressing without looking. For example, the reload and use key are situated on top of each other but the reload key is concave while the use key is convex. While minor, this did help me quickly identify the correct key to press in hectic situations.
Great placement is also exemplified by the location of the jump button. With the hand in the WASD position, my thumb rested naturally on the jump button. I was easily able to jump around and move even though the jump button is smaller than the traditional space bar. Overall, I was easily able to reach all the buttons without any problems with my left hand.
A major difference between the MERC and a ZBoard keyset is that you do get a full keyboard along with the specialized gaming keys. This can be great for some folks as you don't have to switch keysets when you want to do some regular typing but still have access to the gaming side of things in one easy setup.
Unlike the G15 keyboard from Logitech, you can't program profiles currently. Word is that that's going to change with a software update but as of right now there's no way to create a custom profile. The only way to get a customized keyboard setup is to use the default setting and map the keys in the game. Installing the software and plugging the keyboard in an available USB slot are the two steps to setup the peripheral. After you install the software, a Zboard icon is placed in your system tray. From here you can access your profiles and there a great deal number of profiles. You'll see a nice colored display of keys and what they are used for in the game you select.
I took the MERC keyboard out for a spin on Call of Duty 2 and Unreal Tournament 2004. I chose the two because I wanted two contrasting styles of games with Call of Duty 2 being a little slower paced FPS while Unreal Tournament 2004 offers a more twitch and reflex based gameplay. It did take me a few sessions to get used to the buttons and where they are situated. After a day or two of playing the two FPS games, I was able to use the setup instinctively. Playing the games for long sessions, my hand was pretty comfortable and I really enjoyed the oversized movement keys. Response time seemed pretty good and I didn't notice any key pressing anomolies when using the gaming pad portion of the MERC.
So while the keyboard is successful in implementing a great WASD setup for games, the main keyboard exhibited some problems for me. I'm a programmer by day so I spend a lot of time typing. With the MERC keyboard, the spacing for the keys seemed a little too tight for me. The keys are very quiet when pressed and offered good feedback. I do like the strength of the springs underneath the keys. While I did become proficient enough to type with it on a daily basis, the feeling of being cramped still came into play and I wasn't as comfortable doing daily activities with the MERC keyboard as I did with other ones.
You'll also need to get used to the position of the arrow keys and number pad. The left side of the MERC keyboard is contains a combination of the two. The arrow keys are located at the bottom while the number keys are placed above it forming four rows of five keys except for one row of four with the large enter button. In essence, the arrow keys are pretty much positioned as they are normally and I don't use the number pad that much so it wasn't too much of a change for me. Other people might have trouble at first but they should get adjusted to the setup with continued usage. Overall, not a huge deal breaker and I can understand Ideazon merging the two into one area to try and save some space.
I do like the positioning of the multimedia keys however. Located in the upper left part of the keyboard, the keys control your media player and are easily accessible with your left hand. They are sized adequately and worked in controlling my Windows Media Player when I listened to my MP3 collection.
Overall as a general keyboard, I didn't particularly enjoy typing on it over my Logitech G15, Compaq keyboard, or the Microsoft variants that I have around my desk. Working all day on a keyboard, I want to be as comfortable as possible and the MERC keyboard wasn't at the top of the list. I found myself switching back to other keyboards when doing long sessions of programming or writing.
The gaming portion of the MERC was done well and I expected that as Ideazon's ZBoards are well liked by the community. The regular portion of the keyboard needs some more work in my opinion. Even so if you do heavy gaming with first person shooters and not as much general typing like a programmer or writer, the MERC keyboard can be a good pickup. I'm anxious to see Ideazon implement the programming capability so that the keyboard can be setup to anyone's taste. Ther MERC keyboard is also less expensive than a comparable Ideazon ZBoard with a FPS keyset. It's not as cool or innovative as the ZBoard but is a nice less expensive alternative for FPS heavy gamers.
* The product in this article was sent to us by the developer/company.
I've been reviewing products since 1997 and started out at Gaming Nexus. After writing for a few different sites that went under, it's nice to bring back a site that's not dependent on revenue and just wants to deliver news and reviews of products.
I'm married, and enjoy first person shooters, sports games, and real time strategy games.

Well the WWDC 2012 keynote is over and now it's time for you, the iMore nation, to weigh in on all things iOS 6.
Is it a great iOS update, or the greatest iOS update? Or did Apple miss the board entirely? iOS 5 was massive and gave us a ton of previously missing features. Did iOS 6 do the same? Did it need to?
It seems iOS 6 was mostly about improving the user experience. Apple added a ton of little features to make things easier, faster and more convenient for us. Everything from free turn-by-turn navigation to the really awesome assistance features for people and children with special needs, show a lot of thought and polish.

Living in Dallas, Texas tends to be a fantabulous experience for those who have been here and lived in the great apartments that are found here, which not only house all facilities, but truly are spacious.
Renting big apartments:

Moreover, discounts and daily specials could also be looked for. It is not that one would need to pay rents that are sky-rocketing in order to enjoy luxury while in Dallas. There is a huge range of the apartment units as well as price range to suit your budget.
All the best features one could desire:
Mostly, the apartments have been upgraded with many modern amenities that could be thought of – ranging from new cabinets, fancy fixtures and fittings, trendy flooring, designer paint and appliances of stainless steel. To add to these, there are other awesome features to make you tongue-tied and just admire all that was in store for you.

There is a great range of activities one could go for. Remember the things like covered parking, all-inclusive price for washer/dryer, pick up of trash from door to door are highly appreciated by those who have experienced life in these great apartments.

Drone operators often kill their targets from a continent away, but studies suggest that even thousands of miles of distance cannot mitigate war's devastating psychological effects. But just wait until you hear how researchers propose preventing PTSD, alcohol abuse and thoughts of suicide in drone operators.
Above: Flying a drone can feel like a deadly two-person video game — with a pilot (left) and sensor (right); photo and caption via GQ.
The latest issue of GQ features a stunning read, written by Michael Powers, about former Air Force drone sensor operator Brandon Bryant and his time in the U.S. Military. One of the first pilots to speak out about his experience with the drone program, Bryant paints a frightening portrait of death-dealing from a distance, and the psychological trauma wrought by his nearly six-years of service as a drone operator.
It's a captivating read – one definitely worth reading in its entirety – but we were particularly struck by the section exploring Bryant's PTSD diagnosis, which he received just a few months after his heavy concscience led him to leave the Air Force:
It was an unexpected diagnosis. For decades the model for understanding PTSD has been "fear conditioning": quite literally the lasting psychological ramifications of mortal terror. But a term now gaining wider acceptance is "moral injury." It represents a tectonic realignment, a shift from a focusing on the violence that has been done to a person in wartime toward his feelings about what he has done to others — or what he's failed to do for them. The concept is attributed to the clinical psychiatrist Jonathan Shay, who in his book Achilles in Vietnam traces the idea back as far as the Trojan War. The mechanisms of death may change — as intimate as a bayonet or as removed as a Hellfire [an air-to-ground missile common aboard Predator drones]—but the bloody facts, and their weight on the human conscience, remain the same. Bryant's diagnosis of PTSD fits neatly into this new understanding. It certainly made sense to Bryant. "I really have no fear," he says now. "It's more like I've had a soul-crushing experience. An experience that I thought I'd never have. I was never prepared to take a life."
In total, the military estimates Bryant contributed to the death of 1,626 human targets. "He hadn't lased the target or pulled the trigger on all of the deaths tallied," Power notes, "but by flying in the missions he felt he had enabled them."
Culpability is a complicated thing. Bryant spent most of his time piloting drones from Nevada, thousands of miles removed from action in the Middle East. As a "sensor," he himself never pulled a trigger (that was his co-pilot's job); he merely guided missiles to their targets. Sometimes he and his drone partner would supply coordinates or other intel to American forces on the ground, intel that those forces would later use to coordinate a deadly strike. Bryant was physically or procedurally removed from the deaths of over 1,600 human military targets, and yet he, and the U.S. Air Force, associates those deaths with himself. He feels their weight.
And Bryant isn't alone. Killing from afar could contribute in a significant way to what Air Force psychologists refer to in a 2011 mental health survey of 600 combat drone operators as "existential conflict." Over 40% of drone crews surveyed reported moderate to high stress. One in five reported emotional exhaustion or burnout. A later study, Power writes, found that "drone operators suffered from the same levels of depression, anxiety, PTSD, alcohol abuse, and suicidal ideation as traditional combat aircrews."
So how best to ease the consciences of America's Drone Warriors? Powers mentions one solution in a parenthetical, emphasized below:
These effects [PTSD, alcohol abuse, suicidal ideation] appeared to spike at the exact time of Bryant's deployment, during the surge in Iraq. (Chillingly, to mitigate these effects, researchers have proposed creating a Siri-like user interface, a virtual copilot that anthropomorphizes the drone and lets crews shunt off the blame for whatever happens. Siri, have those people killed.)
It is painfully ironic, given the ineffectiveness of physical distance at easing soldiers' consciences, that researchers would propose the psychological equivalent as a mitigating measure – even (perhaps especially) if it proves to be an effective therapeutic technique. It is a testament to our species' capacity for humanity, after all, that in withdrawing our bodies from the grisly realities of war we seem to have left our psyches behind.

The presentation of the award will be made at 9 a.m. Monday, Dec. 10, in the Franklin County Administrative Annex.
CHAMBERSBURG — Members of the Community Coalition will honor the work of K. Marilyn Smith of Waynesboro with its first Lifetime Achievement Award.
The presentation will be made during the coalition's annual year-in-review meeting at 9 a.m. Monday, Dec. 10, in the Franklin County Administrative Annex, 210 N. Second St.
Smith was chosen for the honor because of her work in drug and alcohol prevention, according to Becky Greenawalt, coalition chair.
"She is an amazing force of good in our communities. Her work, her passion and her dedication to the residents of Franklin County is unmatched," said Greenawalt. "Marilyn works quietly, not asking for recognition, but seeking change and growth within our communities. We would very much like to thank her for all she has done."
What she's done
Smith is a lifelong advocate of drug and alcohol prevention in Franklin County, working primarily as the volunteer force behind Waynesboro Communities that Care. Smith has worked tirelessly to support, educate and encourage the children and families of Franklin County communities, Greenawalt said. She has guided many programs and educational opportunities during her time with the Waynesboro CTC.
Other CTC events include the Waynesboro's Got Talent Show and fundraiser and the assets building luncheon, which educates members of the community about services and ways to impact children and build a better community. The child ID program has helped increase the safety of hundreds of area children through fingerprinting, photo identification and information collection.
Smith was instrumental in the implementation of the Pennsylvania Youth Survey for the Waynesboro Area School District. The district's participation in the PAYS measurements led to a variety of grant programs in the Waynesboro area that supported children and families. Among the most well-known is the "Parents Who Host Lose the Most" billboard campaign, which worked to inform parents of the risks of allowing underage drinking in their homes.
Smith was also instrumental in applying for and receiving the Strategic Prevention Framework-State Incentive Grant, which included hiring a specialist to provide drug and alcohol prevention programs in the Waynesboro schools and community.
She spearheaded the annual after-graduation parties for Waynesboro Area Senior High School.
Smith also has held volunteer positions in Rotary Club of Waynesboro, Franklin Learning Center School Board, Waynesboro YMCA Board of Directors, Waynesboro Area School Board, WABEC Foundation, voucher program for Salvation Army, Waynesboro Youth Aid Panel and board of directors at Hearthstone in Waynesboro.
About the coalition
The Community Coalition brings together different community representatives in an effort to combat the drug and alcohol problems that persist in local.
Coalition meetings are held monthly at the Franklin County Administrative Annex, 210 N. Second St. Meetings begin at 9 a.m. and are open to the public.
In addition to monthly meetings and discussions, coalition members organize several community campaigns to educate families about the dangers of drugs and alcohol. Most recently coalition members worked to bring Red Ribbon Week messaging to area school students. Coalition members partnered with schools, community leaders and the Pennsylvania Office of the Attorney General to provide varied messaging throughout Franklin County.

Mono County's hiking trails in rocky spot
A new focus on regional trail system is critical to economy, advocates say
The numbers speak for themselves.
Of the about $369 million that comes into Mono County every year as a result of direct spending by visitors, $223 million derives from the people who come here in the spring, summer, and fall.
About 80 percent of these 1.3 million visitors come specifically for outdoor recreation; out of these, the primary reason the majority of them—54.6 percent—come, is to hike, most often by using the area's hundreds of miles of trails, according to Mono County Tourism studies.
Long, hard trails, short easy trails, rocky trails, maintained trails, goat path trails—trails are the primary infrastructure in the county that supports the summer economy (followed by fishing).
But for all their importance, for all the money they indirectly bring to the county, local trails are in trouble.
"We have hundred of miles of trails all over the region and it is all falling apart," said Paul McFarland, a program director for Friends of the Inyo. "These are our public lands, we need to take care of them."
McFarland knows something about trails. He has been working on them, creating them, and coordinating volunteer crews to take care of them for much of the past two decades.
In the past few years, the trail situation has changed, he said—and changed a lot.
Wind, water, snow, the impacts of millions of feet and hooves—all of this has outpaced the ability of the federal agencies that have normally maintained the trails with taxpayer dollars the ability to do so, including the local Inyo National Forest, that contains most of the Eastern Sierra's trails.
Year-after-year, the budget cuts to the Inyo, which manages two million acres of land including two of the most highly visited wildernesses in the country, the John Muir Wilderness and the Ansel Adams Wilderness, have had a sharp and negative impact on trails, and the forest service itself acknowledges it.
"In general, the funds we get for maintenance are for recreation, and this covers more than trails," said Sarah Tomsky, the district ranger for the Mono Basin Ranger District. "The regional office distributes it as they see fit. Our region sees that recreation is our bread and butter, but there is still not enough to go around."
The lack of trail money is just a beginning. The big problem, according to McFarland and others who spoke Tuesday at the Mono County Board of Supervisors meeting, is that the decline in funds is hitting at exactly the same time that a kind of paradigm shift is occurring across the country; the growing recognition of the economic and life-style importance of trails to rural and recreation-based economies.
A trail system that is ordered, that links communities, trailheads, and recreation activities to one another is one of the most prized resources a tourism-based economy can have, and the Eastern Sierra's fragmented system is losing ground to places like Aspen.
"We are going to lose a race with every other tourism economy if we don't get ahead of this," said Mono County Supervisor Tim Alpers.
But how?
Every community in the county has some kind of trails wish list and some level of involvement in creating and maintaining trails. But with the forest service mostly out of the business of building new trails (due to concerns they cannot be maintained in an era of austere budgets), there is no single entity coordinating the entire thing.
That is where the county can be most effective, said McFarland.
"The county can provide the glue," he said.
Supervisor Larry Johston said it comes down to priorities.
"If 55 percent come to hike, 46 percent come to fish and we put a lot of money into fishing and we don't seem to have a problem with it, why aren't we putting it into trails?"
The rest of the supervisors did not argue. Three of them, Byng Hunt, Larry Johnston and Tim Alpers, have been advocates of a regional trail system for years during their separate and various incarnations as public servants and the other two supervisors gave no argument, persuaded by the economics and the passionate testimony of locals like June Lake's Jill Stark, who is credited with bringing the new Gull Lake trail into being.
"If you want to see something, you have to stand up and make it happen," said McFarland. "That's Jill Stark."
A major shift toward trails is in the county's highest interest, the supervisors agreed and pledged to give what resources they could toward a regional trails project, including an increased emphasis on volunteer and cooperative agreements, working with the forest service on a trail maintenance sharing agreement process, and focusing planning and grant writing on a regional trail system.
One of the first such trails—a pilot project—is likely to be a trail from Lee Vining to Yosemite National Park.
This project, if successful, could persuade grantees and federal agencies to invest in even more trail efforts, the supervisors noted.
Correction: This story has been corrected since it was first posted. The quote, "If 55 percent come to hike and 46 percent come to fish and we put a lot of money into fishing and we don't seem to have a problem with it, why aren't we putting it into trails?" was erroneously attributed to Alicia Vennos, Mono County's economic development manager, in the original version. The statement was made by Supervisor Larry Johnston. The Times regrets the error.

But a recent Scottish study of roughly 20,000 adults also found that exercise reduces stress, eases anxiety, fights depression, and boosts happiness and energy levels. The study found that participants could get these benefits with as little as one 20-minute workout per week.
While we recommend more than one workout per week for weight loss, anything is a good start. In fact, you don't even have to hit the gym to burn calories! The study found that almost any type of physical activity works: cleaning your house, gardening or brisk walking.
If you can't fit in a full-on workout, here's a list of activities that will burn around 100 calories. As an added bonus, most of these motions have to be done anyway, so by tweaking them just slightly you'll be burning more calories while cleaning your house, yard or car.
How to Clean and Burn Calories
Do these chores at a brisk pace. Try not to take breaks and use some elbow grease to get things sparkling. It might also help to turn on some tunes and time yourself, trying to do it a little faster each week.
Washing Windows — 30 minutes will burn about 150 calories.
Doing the Dishes — Skip the dishwasher and do them yourself to burn 75 calories in 30 minutes.
Rearranging Your Room — 30 minutes of moving furniture burns 225 calories.
Vacuuming — Burn about 100 calories in 30 minutes.
Painting — Tired of your beige bedroom? Pick a new color and burn roughly 100 calories per 20 minutes of painting (think Karate Kid).
Outdoor Fat-Burning
Cutting the Grass — Mowing the lawn will burn 160 calories in 30 minutes, as long as you're pushing the mower yourself.
Washing the Car — Burn about 150 calories in just 30 minutes (bikini optional).
Gardening/Raking Leaves – The digging and raking you do are big-time calorie burners. You can burn up to 100 calories in just 15 minutes!
Biking — A leisurely bike ride (approximately 10 mph) will burn more than 100 calories in 40 minutes. Grab the family and get pedaling!
Swimming — No need to go all Michael Phelps here. Just a 15-minute slow swim will burn about 100 calories.
Frisbee — A fun 30-minute Frisbee toss with your kids or friends will burn about 100 calories and hardly seem like exercise at all.
Pushing a Baby Stroller — Pushing a stroller burns about 60 calories in 20 minutes. Don't have a baby? I'm sure your relative, friend or neighbor will be happy to lend you theirs.
Walking — It's one of the simplest ways to burn calories because you don't need anything to get started. Fifteen minutes of brisk walking will burn approximately 100 calories. A brisk daily walk at lunch time or after work will make a difference.
Dancing — Who doesn't love to shake it? 20 minutes of dancing at a moderate pace will burn 100 calories. As Lady Gaga says, "Just Dance!"
*All of these numbers are based on a 150-pound individual.
Of course, regular workouts can be fast and effective, too!
Posted by one of our fit females:
Thank you for sending these to me! I can absolutely tell I have went down a great amount.....I am happy with the results I have gotten in these last 6 weeks and would be happy here just because It's so far from where I was at and more so I have made INCREDIBLE changes(I.E. my eating habits and my physical activity) I couldn't really ask for more than that. That being said I am totally ready to give this last 6 weeks everything I have and go out with a bang! And the kids all look super cute and my kids look happy and I know they are healthier too as they are reaping the benefits of mommy trying to live a healthier life style They actually ate Cauliflower with mixed veggies last weekend and LIKED IT!!! I actually found out that I liked it too! It was one of those foods that got denied entry into our home growing up because my mom didn't like it. Next on the list to try is Asparagus.......Thanks again Patty,YOU ROCK!!!!
Making healthy changes to your lifestyle can be very, very overwhelming. There is so much information out there about what you should eat and what you shouldn't eat. What exercises you should do and what exercises you shouldn't do. For someone just learning about fitness or healthy eating, it can be a lot to take in.
Fitness Tip: Persistence! - Violate this step and you'll never achieve permanent results. A10-year study was recently conducted which proves that persistence is the single most important aspect of any diet or exercise program. The study followed a group of people (Group #1) who exercised and dieted very strictly, but sporadically. They were compared to a group of people (Group #2) who exercised mildly and followed a very basic diet, but Group #2 never varied from their routine. Even though Group #2 exercised and dieted far less than Group #1, they achieved 68% better results than those who exercised and dieted very strictly, but only occasionally. When it comes to exercise, persistence really does pay off
Nutrition Bars…or Candy Bars?
"If you're running a marathon or embarking on a rigorous three-day hike, there may be a place for more traditional energy bars with high calorie and carbohydrate counts, but for most of us, who are just boarding a plane or bouncing between meetings, an apple or handful of nuts is a much better option".
Do you eat protein bars? If so - when?

On behalf of the City of Leavenworth, Parks and Recreation Department.
To the editor:
On behalf of the City of Leavenworth, Parks and Recreation Department. I want to publicly thank Navy Federal for sponsoring the free movie night that was held on June 29 at Ray Miller Park for our community.
It was a wonderful family-friendly event that was well attended. Navy Federal provided a giant 45-foot inflatable screen for the movie "Here Comes the Boom" and a variety of pre-movie family activities that included three large inflatables, music, an interactive family game area, face painter and an onsite radio remote station Alice `102.5.
They sponsored all costs associated with the movie production as well as all pre-movie events and promotional advertisement.
It was our sincere pleasure to partner with Navy Federal to help bring such a wonderful free family event to our community. We also want to thank the Veteran's Administration and CPAC for allowing us to use their parking for the event.
These types of events and partnerships help make for a great community.

Hoping this hasnt been posted previously. I learned about this after I had adopted my boy Fergus, got him from KC MO though. In the county I live in they do not allow county run shelters to adopt out pitbull breeds. They are given a temperament test and if deemed safe they are sent to a neighboring county for adoption. This has come under fire before in 2009 and again in 2010 as a high percentage of the dogs tested dont pass and are euthanized. A judge ruled in 2009 that this was not a form of BSL and it continues.

Science Scoops: Expansive Crystals
by Stephen James O'Meara
Who would argue? When you place a solid in a vise and increase the pressure, it should compress, right? Well, an international team of scientists claims that they have discovered a crystal formation that appears to do just the opposite: It appears to expand under pressure.
Meet natrolite—a crystal whose three-dimensional structure contains regularly spaced pores. Yongjae Lee at Brookhaven National Laboratory in Upton, NY, and his colleagues discovered this counterintuitive behavior. They placed a natrolite crystal in a cell filled with a water-alcohol mixture and then squeezed it between two diamond anvils to pressures up to 50,000 times normal atmospheric pressure.
Actually, the crystal initially compressed as expected. But when the pressure ranged between 8,000 and 15,000 times atmospheric pressure, the crystal appeared to expand. As the pressure increased further, however, the material compressed again.
Was the expansion some kind of illusion? No. An X-ray analysis of the expansion suggests that the material expanded because water molecules from the water-alcohol solution were squeezed into the pores within the natrolite, causing it to temporarily expand.
The researchers have already come up with a use for natrolite, namely as a crystal sponge for chemical cleanups. You see, when natrolite expands, so too do its pores. So natrolite can absorb pollutants when it's under pressure. By simply releasing the pressure, its pores will get smaller and trap the pollutants inside.
- atmospheric pressure:
- Pressure caused by the weight of the atmosphere. At sea level it has a mean value of one atmosphere but reduces with increasing altitude.
- pore:
- A tiny opening, as in the skin or on the surface of a plant, through which liquids or gases may pass.
- What is the state of a natrolite crystal at standard atmospheric pressure? What is the state of the crystal at 8,000 to 15,000 times atmospheric pressure?
- A natrolite crystal is put under pressure that is 10,000 times atmospheric pressure. The crystal is not put in a water-alcohol mixture. What do you think happens? Why? Explain your answer in a sentence or two.
- What do you think might happen if a natrolite crystal were put in water and then the water was frozen? Explain your answer in a sentence or two.

You should have seen the excitement around here today when I accidentally found hubby's Italian grandparents!
Today I noticed that I forgot to copy and paste the obituary of hubby's aunt, Beatrice Marmorale, in my database 7 years ago, so I was searching around to see if it was still online. No such luck, looks like I am going to have to type it out (I'll post it on a Sunday). But Google did lead me to EbookReads.com where I found a List of residents. (title varies) (Volume 1), which is one of many books by Boston Mass. Election Dept.
It read:
Reported Residence,
Jan. 1, 1944.
Maverick Street
Mangiafico Lena — f
Mangiafico Paul
Marmorale Beatrice — f
When I saw "Maverick Street", my heart started beating a little faster. I knew that sounded familiar. So I pulled up the Naturalization images that I downloaded from Ancestry.com a while back.
Sure enough, they lived on Maverick Street! One of the reasons I wasn't sure that this was the right couple is because, for one the surname Mangiafico is like Smith in Italy. I never knew that Poalo's middle name was Michele, he just went by Paul. Of course it doesn't help either that hubby never knew his grandparents. He never even met his father (that is for another post).
Zillow says that the house on 95 Maverick Street was built in 1900. Unfortunately there is no photo available.

Cathal O'Connell, founder of Paddywagon Tours, had been guiding backpackers from Africa to Auckland and Australia's Bonsai Beach for several years when he decided to start up a similar business in Ireland, reports Forbes.
The tourism industry had long played to middle-aged and elderly American tourists looking for their Irish roots. O'Connell decided to aim for the younger crowd.
O'Connell, a.k.a. "Dublin Charlie" says he founded Paddywagon Tours some "beery afternoon" when he wrote the name on a beer mat in New Zealand.
"The name 'Paddywagon' came to me in a flash," O'Connell once said in an interview. "I knew everybody else in the business would hate what I would be doing under that name for subverting everything they were trying to pretend to be. But I knew young people, who they had ignored for years, would love it. That name was my gold."
He began his business by festooning his buses with leprechauns, sending nude streakers bearing "Paddywagon" banners across Australian sports pitches, buying up rundown buildings across Ireland that he called "Paddies Palaces."
"Today's young people don't come here because they've read every last word of Joyce or Yeats, they're lucky if they've even heard of them. But they are as entitled as anybody else to enjoy Ireland's hospitality and to be well looked after at prices they can afford, even if getting drunk is one of their biggest goals," said O'Connell.
"We were the first to understand our market segment, which includes a lot of young females from America and Australia and the U.K. whose chief purpose is to get drunk in a trustful setting with hilarious people right and left."
Paddywagon Tours had grown exponentially throughout the last decade, but then the economy tanked with Irish hotels becoming more economical for every age group and competitors pushing in on Charlie's market of adventure travel for the young.
Today, O'Connell's business handles around 90,000 visitors a year.
Day trips have become one of the highest growing areas of the travel market, but providers of those are difficult to find. O'Connell seeks to remedy that gap with his new venture DayToursWorld.com, with $400,00 of seed funding from the government, which is now on the look out for ideas that have big growth potential.
"We found that 80-90 percent of day tour activity and excursion providers do not possess a booking engine and through our research with Enterprise Ireland we discovered that the world day tour market had a value of $89 billion in 2011," O'Connell has said in a recent interview.
Forbes reports that the company, which is seeking international investors, is back to its guerilla marketing tactics, offering free stays in its "Paddies Palaces" for lodging X number of promotional emails on its behalf.
The company's marketing man Steve McPhilemy has said that the new enterprise already has 15,000 excursion accessible on its website. Offerings at the moment cover not only trips in Ireland but also also horseback tours of the Abu Sir pyramids in Egypt, quad bike safaris along the Nile, walking tours in Rome, cooking classes in Turkey, ballooning in Cappadocia, bicycling in Sydney, and ghost hunting in Prague.

Jared Lee Loughner Pleads Guilty to Federal Charges in Tucson Shooting
Loughner Faces Life in Prison Without Possibility Of Release
Jared Lee Loughner, 23, of Tucson, Ariz., pleaded guilty today in federal district court to charges stemming from the January 8, 2011 shooting outside a supermarket that killed six people and wounded 13 others. Under the terms of the plea agreement, Loughner will be sentenced to life in prison with no eligibility for parole.
"It is my hope that this decision will allow the Tucson community, and the nation, to continue the healing process free of what would likely be extended trial and pre-trial proceedings that would not have a certain outcome. The prosecutors and agents assigned to this matter have done an outstanding job and have ensured that justice has been done," said Attorney General Eric Holder. "In making the determination not to seek the death penalty, I took into consideration the views of the victims and survivor families, the recommendations of the prosecutors assigned to the case, and the applicable law."
"Given the defendant's history of significant mental illness, this plea agreement, which requires the defendant to spend the remainder of his natural life in prison, with no possibility of parole, is a just and appropriate resolution of this case," said U.S. Attorney John S. Leonardo. "I hope that today's resolution of this case will help the victims, their families, and the entire Tucson community take another step forward in the process of healing and recovering from this sad and tragic event."
"Today, we remember the victims and their families who tragically lost their lives on January 8, 2011, as well as those in the Tucson community who were greatly affected by this senseless tragedy," stated FBI Special Agent in Charge James L. Turgal Jr., Phoenix Division. "I would like to thank the Pima County Sheriff's Office and the United States Attorney's Office who we worked side-by-side with on every aspect of this joint investigation. I would also like to thank all of our federal, state and local law enforcement partners for their tireless efforts in this case. The partnerships that we have throughout Arizona enabled the FBI to have a coordinated response which resulted in a comprehensive and thorough investigation—all which has led up to today's plea agreement."
According to the plea agreement, on Jan. 8, 2011, Loughner showed up at Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords' "Congress on Your Corner" event outside the Safeway grocery store in Tucson armed with a loaded semi-automatic pistol and carrying three additional magazines containing 60 rounds of ammunition with the intent of killing Congresswoman Giffords and others attending her community event.
Shortly after arriving at the event that Saturday morning, Loughner shot Congresswoman Giffords in the head, and then shot several other people who were in attendance. As a result of the shooting, six individuals were killed and 13 people, including Congresswoman Giffords were injured, some seriously.
Through a plea agreement, Loughner pleaded guilty to 19 counts of the superseding indictment handed down March 3, 2011, consisting of the following crimes:
· The attempted assassination of U.S. Congresswoman Gabrielle D. Giffords;
· The murders of federal employees U.S. District Court Chief Judge John M. Roll and Congressional Aide Gabriel M. Zimmerman;
· The attempted murders of federal employees and Congressional Aides Ronald S. Barber and Pamela K. Simon;
· Causing the deaths of Christina-Taylor Green, Dorothy J. Morris, Phyllis C. Schneck, and Dorwan C. Stoddard, all of whom were participants at an activity provided by the United States;
· Injuring through the use of a Glock pistol Bill D. Badger, Kenneth W. Dorushka, James E. Fuller, Randy W. Gardner, Susan A. Hileman, George S. Morris, Mary C. Reed, Mavanell Stoddard, James L. Tucker, and Kenneth L. Veeder, Sr., all of whom were participants at an activity provided by the United States;
Loughner also admitted that in committing these offenses, he knowingly created a grave risk of death to Carol A. Dorushka, Robert C. Gawlick, Daniel Hernandez, Mark S. Kimble, Patricia R. Maisch, Emma E. McMahon, Owen A. McMahon, Thomas J. McMahon, Sara M. Rajca, Faith M. Salzgeber, Roger D. Salzgeber, Doris Tucker and Alexander J. Villec.
Under the terms of the plea agreement, Loughner will be sentenced to seven consecutive life sentences, followed by 140 years in prison, as follows:
Loughner will be sentenced to a term of life in prison for each of the following crimes:
· The attempted assassination of Congresswoman Gabrielle D. Giffords;
· The murders of federal employees U.S. District Court Chief Judge John M. Roll and Congressional Aide Gabriel M. Zimmerman; and
· Causing the deaths of Christina-Taylor Green, Dorothy J. Morris, Phyllis C. Shneck, and Dorwan C. Stoddard, all of whom were participants at an activity provided by the United States.
Loughner will also be sentenced to the maximum term of 20 years in prison for each of the attempted murders of Congressional Aides Ronald S. Barber and Pamela K. Simon.
Finally, Loughner will be sentenced to the maximum term of 10 years in prison for injuring through the use of a Glock pistol each of the following:
· Bill D. Badger;
· Kenneth W. Dorushka;
· James E. Fuller;
· Randy W. Gardner;
· Susan A. Hileman;
· George S. Morris;
· Mary C. Reed;
· Mavanell Stoddard;
· James L. Tucker; and
· Kenneth L. Veeder, Sr.
Convictions for the attempted assassination of a member of Congress, the murder of a federal employee, and causing the death of a participant in a federally-provided activity each carry a maximum sentence of life in prison or death in the case of murder), a $250,000 fine or both. A conviction for the attempted murder of a federal employee carries a maximum penalty of 20 years in prison, a $250,000 fine or both. A conviction for injuring a participant in a federally-provided activity carries a maximum penalty of 10 years in prison, a $250,000 fine or both. In determining an actual sentence, U.S. District Judge Larry A. Burns will consult the U.S. Sentencing Guidelines, which provide appropriate sentencing ranges. The judge, however, is not bound by those guidelines in determining a sentence.
Sentencing is set before Judge Burns on November 15, 2012, at 10:00 am in Tucson.
The investigation in this case was conducted by the FBI and the Pima County, Ariz., Sheriff's Office. The prosecution is being handled by Wallace H. Kleindenst and Mary Sue Feldmeier, Assistant U.S. Attorneys, District of Arizona, Tucson, with the assistance of C.J. Williams, who served as trial attorney with the Department of Justice's Criminal Division, Christina M. Cabanillas, Appellate Chief, and Bruce Ferg, Assistant U.S. Attorney (Appellate), District of Arizona, Tucson.

Vegetarian Quinoa and Eggplant Caviar
07.11.09 by Jackie
"Chose promise, chose due!" This is a French expression that translates as promises are made to be kept.
As promised, this is the recipe of the vegetarian equivalent of fish caviar that I served my "vegetarian" dinner guests last night. I paired it with mini-crumpets and a little dollop of crème fraîche in between.
This recipe was inspired by the Tassajara Cookbook by Karla Oliveira, which is an excellent resource for vegetarian party food recipes. The quinoa grains and eggplant seeds resemble the original fish eggs. It is basically eggplant caviar, very similar to baba ganoush, mixed with cooked quinoa.
For more flavor, I topped it with an Asian-style mint and cilantro sauce that added a beautiful, bright green color.

Conversions to/from UTF8 from/to charactersets
Provides UTF-8 conversion for perl versions from 5.00 and up. It was
mainly written for use with perl 5.00 to 5.6.0 because those perl
versions do not support Unicode::MapUTF8 or Encode.
Unicode::UTF8simple is written in plain perl (no C code) and will
work with any Perl 5 version. It is just slightly slower than Encode.
