Lemon wants juice on Cowell home
Keith Lemon has revealed celebrities are no different from you or I when it comes to hoarding junk in their spare room, and admitted he would love to have a snoop round Simon Cowell's house.
The madcap TV presenter is back for a second series of ITV's Through The Keyhole, where he tours mystery homes belonging to the rich and famous, and asks an all-star panel to guess who they belong to.
But while Keith has successfully pried into the private lives of many a well-known name, there are some things that are still out of bounds.
"There's always a door that's locked. Normally it's not because it's a sex den - it's usually a junk room," Keith, 41, said.
"And with a couple of the houses, the homeowners were still there. That was weird. Our booker would say, 'Let's go for a pub lunch', and keep them there all day while we were filming in the house, because otherwise it's too difficult."
Celebrities who opened their doors to the cameras in series one included The Great British Bake Off's Mary Berry, The X Factor judge Louis Walsh and Splash actress Daryl Hannah.
As for series two, Keith said: "I'm blowing my own trumpet, but I think this series is better than the last. We went to Los Angeles to do a few houses - they were really Hollywood-style houses."
But Keith is clear who his dream celebrity home would belong to.
"Simon Cowell's would be amazing. We come on straight after The X Factor, so it would be great to do an X Factor Through The Keyhole special."
The original show launched in 1987, fronted by the late Sir David Frost and with Loyd Grossman doing the prying. The show was cancelled in 2008 before Keith - the character brought to life by Leeds-born comedian Leigh Francis - took the helm for the revamped version last year.
Grossman has given the show his seal of approval, and attended filming of the pilot episode.
"I said a few choice words in the first half of the recording - just specifically for the audience, because some of them expect a bit of naughty," said Keith, whose fruitier language is cut out in the editing process.
"I was a little bit concerned but I thought, 'You know what, I've got to do Through The Keyhole how I would do it'. I came off stage, and [Grossman] said he was crying with laughter."
:: Through The Keyhole returns to ITV tonight (August 30).

Kernel Development
To Do List
- Open code POLICY_RDLOCK and friends (per suggestion from akpm).
- Investigate security policy for cgroups.
- Labeling for loopback traffic (in progress HP).
- Reduce memory usage of selinux structs: pahole (eparis RH BZ#235284)
- Add a 'map' check on mmap and mprotect so that we can distinguish memory mapped access (since it has different implications for revocation).
- btrfs support
- Export current policy via selinuxfs so that it can be verified and analyzed.
- cap_override class2 (rfc patch posted, needs re-base and extension for 64-bit caps)
- Compile out LSM hooks & allow SELinux to be linked directly.
- Automate checking for new syscalls in kernels (-mm, -rc etc).
- remove secondary module stacking code (eparis RH BZ#231890)
- fine grained enforcement of sysfs objects (RH BZ#228902)
- ditto for usbfs and other pseudo filesystems of interest
- additional support of a security netfilter table for secmark/net forwarding (RH: RFC patch posted)
- Namespacing of SELinux global functions and variables.
- NFSv4 support (in progress)
- Linux hv controls (in progress Tresys?)
- Finer-grained proc checking so that we don't require full ptrace permission just to read process state (rfc patch posted),
- Improve/fix ioctl checking (patch posted), 4
- Revoke memory-mapped file access upon policy change or setxattr.
- Real device labeling and access control (i.e. bind a label to a device in the kernel irrespective of what device node is used to access it so that a process that can create any device nodes at all can't effectively bypass all device access controls just by creating an arbitrary node to any device in a type accessible to it),
- Full APIs for getting and setting security contexts of sockets and IPC objects. Ensure that socket context is kept consistent on socket inode and sock structures when changed.
- Polyinstantiated ports
- Increased granularity for Generic Netlink
- CIFS support for single-context clients (also has xattrs & Karl says it's better than NFS).
- Investigate integration with integrity measurement (in progress IBM and NSA)
- Crypto policy for domains & object handling
- Expand LTP as a full regression testuite for every permission & class
- Redo performance testing & profiling
- Support for kernel namespaces: labeling and access controls on namespaces, per-namespace policy?
- Similar support for chroots to support build systems?
- Better controls for posix message queues (?)
- move *mem permissions to new memprotect class. Bump policy version.
- discovery of class and permission offsets 3
2Allow SELinux to selectively grant capabilities authoritatively based on SELinux domain. Executables could be made privileged w/o needing to be setuid root, all via SELinux without needing yet another mechanism like file capabilities. Eliminate the need for filesystem capabilities support (which will be a nightmare to manage, as they are per-file bitmaps vs. per-type accessvectors).
3 Make the hooks/avc layer request class/perm offsets from security server so that static offsets are no longer necessary and obsolete kernel classes can be purged.
4"replacing the default case in selinux_file_ioctl with a simple test of _IOC_DIR(cmd) as in Smack, mapping to FILE__WRITE and/or FILE__READ accordingly."
Known Bugs
- Finalize NFS binary mount support: ensure new hooks are called.
- Review Netlink link creation API code for security hook coverage.
- Remove obsolete object backpointers.
- Fix context_struct_compute_av latency issue raised by Ingo Molnar (lkml post)
- Better support for sys_splice and related syscalls
- change Kconfig to use select instead of depends (eparis RH BZ# 228899)
- allow undefined classes and permissions in kernel (eparis RH BZ#235280)
- explicitly set i_ino on all creations in selinuxfs (eparis RH BZ#235248)
- Review sys_fallocate if/when it is merged
- Labeling for forwarded traffic (done: HP)
- security_file_permission callsite consolidation1 (done: RH)
- Add hook for filesystems with binary mount data per requests by fsdevel folk (done: RH)
- add NFSv4 support for command line mount options. (done: RH)
- Support for 64-bit capabilities (sds of the NSA)
- Display LSM mount options in /proc/mounts (done: RH)
- Permissive domains (done: RH).
- printk prefixes and error message cleanup (done: RH)
- open permission (done: RH)
- security_port_sid optimization (done: HP, netport cache)
- Normalize SELinux in-kernel API (obsolete: converted to LSM hooks)
- Support for setting down unknown file contexts for package managers and filesystem restore (done: NSA, deferred mapping of contexts patch)
1 Provide a static inline helper for all FMODE_READ/FMODE_WRITE checks that also includes the corresponding security_file_permission() call to help ensure that they always happen together in the future. Possibly even rolling up rw_verify_area() checking as well into it.

Skull and facial fractures are broken bones of the head and face. Injury can result in damage to the brain.
Types of skull fractures include:
- Simple—the bone is broken, but skin is intact
- Linear—the break is in a thin, straight line through the depth of the skull bone
- Depressed—the bone of the skull is crushed and pushed in toward the brain
- Comminuted—a complex fracture with bone splintering and tearing of the skin
Facial fractures can occur in any of the face's bones. They are named for specific areas of the face:
- Maxillary fractures involve the upper jaw. They are classified as Le Fort I-V fractures based on their specific location on the maxillary bone.
- Mandible fractures involve the lower jaw.
- Zygomatic fractures involve the cheekbones.
- Orbital fractures involve the bones around the eyes
Fractures may either be:
- Closed—the fracture does not break the skin
- Open—the fracture breaks through the skin
Both skull and facial fractures may be life-threatening conditions. They require immediate medical treatment.
Skull and/or facial fractures are caused by direct trauma to the head. Trauma can be caused by:
- Falls
- Car, motorcycle, or pedestrian accidents
- Blunt force trauma
- Penetrating trauma
- Domestic violence, or child or elder abuse
- Sports injury
- Gunshot
Risk Factors
Factors that may increase the chance of a skull and/or facial fracture include:
- Children up to 4 years old and older adults
- Not wearing a seatbelt
- Not wearing a bike or motorcycle helmet
- Occupations with risk of falls from heights
- Playing sports without proper head protection
- Health conditions that increase the risk of falls
Specific factors that may also increase a child's risk of a skull fracture include:
- Previous head injury
- Wheelchair use
- Car seat related accidents, such as drops, flip-overs, or falls
These will depend on the location, type, and extent of the injury.
A skull or facial fracture may cause:
- Swelling and pain
- Headache
- Bruising
- Visible bleeding (some injuries cause internal bleeding that may not be seen)
- Leaking clear cerebrospinal fluid, which usually occurs through the nose
- Blood in the ears or nose
- Inability to move face or mouth
- Uneven dental bite
- Eye problems, such as double vision or inability to completely move the eyes
- Breathing difficulties due to airway obstruction
- Hearing loss
- Numbness or tingling of the face
- Deformity or facial asymmetry
Some trauma causes bleeding in the brain. A hematoma occurs when a pocket of blood leaks into the spaces between the brain and the skull, increasing intracranial pressure. Signs of injury to the brain or hematoma include:
- Any loss of consciousness
- Worsening headache
- Vomiting
- Confusion
- Seizures
- Unequal pupils
- Increased pressure in the brain
- Paralysis to the limbs
Concussion may cause:
- Lightheadedness, which may lead to fainting
- Nausea with or without vomiting
- Changes in vision
- Sluggishness or grogginess
- Difficulty concentrating
You will most likely be taken to a hospital. A doctor will ask about your symptoms and how your injury occurred. A physical exam will be done. A neurological exam will evaluate your nervous system. Tests may include the following:
- Pain and airway assessment
- An examination of the ears for blood, and the nose for blood or fluid that may be leaking from the brain
Glasgow coma scale—neurological exam that tests different parts of the nervous system including:
- Level of consciousness
- Pupil reaction to light
- Reflexes
- Response to stimuli
If you are in a situation where there is a skull or facial fracture injury, call for medical help right away.
Treatment will depend on the location and extent of the injury.
Stabilizing the Injury
The first steps will be focused on stabilizing the injury. They may include:
- Attaching a backboard to stabilize the head and neck
- A breathing tube for a blocked airway
- IV fluids
- Admission to the hospital for monitoring
Stabilization may also require emergency surgery to protect surrounding tissues and organs.
Initial Care
Some fractures cause pieces of bone to separate. The doctor will need to put these pieces back into their proper place. This may be done:
- Without surgery—anesthesia will decrease pain while the doctor moves the pieces back into place
- With surgery—plates or wires may be needed to reconnect the pieces and hold them in place
Nearly half of skull and facial fractures require surgical repair. Surgery may not be done until the fracture is stabilized and swelling at the injury site goes down.
People with these fractures usually need to stay in the hospital. Serious injuries may need to be watched in an intensive care unit. Some people with skull or facial fractures need to have help breathing. A tube is inserted and mechanical ventilation is used to protect and assist breathing.
The following medications may be prescribed:
- Pain medication
- Antiseizure medications
- Medications to reduce pressure inside the head or brain swelling
- Antibiotics if an infection is present or possible
Rest and Recovery
Healing time varies by age and overall health. Children and people in better overall health heal faster. In general, it may take several weeks for a skull or facial fracture to heal.
Activities will need to be adjusted, but complete rest is rarely required. Ice may also be recommended to help with discomfort and swelling.
Physical therapy or rehabilitation may be needed to keep muscles strong.
To help reduce your chance of a skull and/or facial fracture:
- Avoid situations that put you at risk of physical harm.
- Always wear a seatbelt when driving or riding in a car.
- Always wear a helmet when riding a bike or motorcycle.
- Do not drive under the influence of alcohol or drugs.
- Wear proper padding and safety equipment when participating in sports or activities.
To help reduce falling hazards at work and home:
- Clean spills and slippery areas right away.
- Remove tripping hazards such as loose cords, rugs, and clutter.
- Use non-slip mats in the bathtub and shower.
- Install grab bars next to the toilet and in the shower or tub.
- Put in handrails on both sides of stairways.
- Walk only in well-lit rooms, stairs, and halls.
- Keep flashlights on hand in case of a power outage.

Many treatments have been tried for relieving the symptoms of PMS. No treatment has been found to be consistently effective for all symptoms, but treating one or two symptoms may alleviate the whole syndrome.
Primary treatment strategies involve lifestyle changes. Secondary treatment strategies are employed only if your PMS symptoms do not improve within 2-3 months after making lifestyle changes. Secondary treatments may involve dietary supplements, medications, psychotherapy, and alternative and complementary therapies.
Treatment is focused on reducing or eliminating physical, emotional, and behavioral symptoms of PMS and may involve the following:Lifestyle changesMedicationsAlternative and complementary therapies
There are currently no surgical options for the treatment of PMS.

I do not think you are right about not being able to specify something for the value attribute, but I can see where you would have thought it would fail:
A fair warning about testing to see if a variable exists...
when it comes to strings, the values '' and '0' are interpreted as false when tested this way...
if ($string) { ... } //false for $string == '' || $string == '0'
The best practice for testing to see if you received a variable from the form (which in the case of a checkbox, only happens when it is checked) is to test using this...
if ( isSet($string) ) { ... } //true if and only if the variable is set
The function tests to see if the variable has been set, regardless of its contents.
By the way, if anyone's curious, when you do make a checkbox without specifying the value attribute, the value sent from the form for that checkbox becomes 'on'. (That's for HTML in general, not PHP-specific).

SAA Chairperson meets unions, staff
Johannesburg, 12 February 2013. Acting SAA Chairperson, Ms Dudu Myeni, today met the airline's management teams and union representatives to share with them the progress that is being made by the group as it works closely with the shareholder to deliver a winning long-term strategy for the airline.
Ms Myeni was accompanied in the cordial and productive meetings by Acting CEO Mr Nico Bezuidenhout.
In the meetings, Ms Myeni thanked all staff for the good work that they were doing despite the difficult industry operating conditions, characterised by heightening competition and rising fuel prices.
She appraised them of the "solid progress" that is being made to come up with a viable long-term strategy for the group, encompassing both operational and human resources imperatives.
"The board's decision to ask Nico to oversee the business in the interim was informed by the need to allow for business continuity, and at the same time to ensure that there is optimal understanding and appreciation of SAA's commercial challenges within the top leadership of the airline during this transitional period.
"Nico is a very experienced colleague and airline executive, having been appointed CEO of Mango in 2006. We are very pleased that he agreed to oversee operations and we have every confidence that he will, together with all stakeholders, provide the necessary leadership during this period," she said.

What is Autodesk Desktop Subscription?
Autodesk Subscription is a purchasing option that allows you to license Autodesk desktop software on a short-term basis to meet a variety of business and budget considerations, such as taking on finite projects, or hiring temporary staff. Customers who purchase Subscriptions receive benefits similar to those who purchased perpetual licenses with Autodesk Maintenance Subscription. These benefits include Basic Support, access to the latest software and product enhancements, and in some cases, access to select cloud services.
Why is Autodesk selling Subscriptions?
Autodesk is introducing Subscriptions in response to growing customer demand. With the introduction of Desktop Subscription, you have greater flexibility and choice for how to access Autodesk software. Subscription enables you to license software on a short-term basis - monthly or annually. This is a great choice for customers who have fluctuating project and staffing needs; it�s never been easier to get the Autodesk software you want in a way that meets the unique needs of your business.
What Desktop Subscription software is available for purchase?
For a list of available Subscription software visit the Novedge
Autodesk brand page
What is the difference between a perpetual license and Subscription?
Traditional perpetual software licenses grant license holders the right to use the version of Autodesk software that is purchased for as long as they want. Desktop Subscription grants license holders the right to use the software for a specified period of time with the option to renew their contract for additional payments. Customers who purchase a Desktop Subscription receive similar benefits to customers who purchase perpetual licenses with Autodesk Maintenance Subscription. These benefits include Basic Support, access to the latest software and product enhancements, and in some cases, access to select cloud services.
What are the benefits of Autodesk Subscriptions?
Pay-as-you-go access software
: This gives you the flexibility to control costs without an up-front license investment or long-term commitment. In some cases, you may be able to bill the cost of Desktop Subscription back to your clients, making it easier to treat software costs as an operating expense rather than a capital expense.
Stay up to date
: With an active Destop Subscription, you always have access to the latest software releases and product enhancements.
Scalable licensing
: Subscription enables you to easily scale up the number of licenses to manage temporary increases in work flow or staffing and scale back when you no longer need them.
What is the difference between monthly, quarterly, and annual Desktop Subscription?
Annual subscriptions are available for purchase from Novedge). Annual subscriptions purchased directly from Novedge are renewable, while annual subscriptions purchased from the Autodesk store will renew automatically. Annual subscriptions begin the day that the purchase confirmation is sent to the customer and end 12 months from the purchase date. At this time customers with renewable annual subscriptions can choose to renew. Monthly subscriptions are available for purchase through the Autodesk Store and renew automatically. Monthly subscriptions begin the day that purchase confirmation is sent to the customer and renew on the same day of each month. For example, if a customer purchases a monthly recurring plan beginning on July 31, 2013, the customer will automatically be billed on the 31st (or the last day) of each month thereafter, until the customer cancels the subscription.
What are the technical support and upgrade benefits of Desktop Subscription?
Subscriptions include many of the same technical support and upgrades offered through Autodesk Maintenance Subscription for perpetual licenses.
Is Autodesk Maintenance Subscription available for Subscriptions?
No, Autodesk Maintenance Subscription is not applicable for Subscriptions. Subscriptions customers receive similar benefits to that of Maintenance Subscription customers including technical support, software updates, and in some cases access to select cloud services.
When does a subscription term begin?
Subscriptions begins once you receive the order confirmation email. For example, if you place an order on August 31, 2018 and receive the order confirmation on the same day, the subscription begins on August 31, 2018.
What is an Autodesk named user?
Autodesk has developed an identity-based system that maintains a relationship between an Autodesk ID and Autodesk assets (e.g. Desktop Subscription or Cloud Service Subscription). With a Subscription, there is a 1:1 relationship between the user and Autodesk regarding entitlement to access and use the Autodesk asset. Users should not share their Autodesk IDs. Many software firms have adopted similar named user models. Autodesk, InfraWorks, Inventor, AutoCAD, 3ds Max, Maya and Revit are registered trademarks or trademarks of Autodesk, Inc., and/or its subsidiaries and/or affiliates in the USA and/or other countries. All other brand names, product names, or trademarks belong to their respective holders. Autodesk reserves the right to alter product and services offerings, and specifications and pricing at any time without notice, and is not responsible for typographical or graphical errors that may appear in this document.
Once I�ve purchased a Subscription, how do I get started?
Step 1: Sign In
— After your purchase, you'll receive an email with a link to the Autodesk Account sign in page. Login using your username and password (or the temporary username and password created for you).
Step 2: Access Products & Services
— Once you�ve signed in, click "Account" in the top navigation to land on the Products & Services page. This page includes all you've purchased as an administrator and/or entitled to use as an end user. Installation is easy, simply find a product or service and click "Install Now" or "Access Now".
Step 3: (Cloud services only)
: Track cloud credit usage — To view your shared or individual cloud credit usage, click the "Reporting" navigation in the left navigation. In the Usage Report by Contract, expand the contract to view the breakdown of usage per Service and export a detailed CSV report of all cloud credits used by date. If you need more credits, clicking "Get more cloud credits" will take you to the checkout to purchase 100-packs.
How do I find my serial number and product key?
The product download should automatically apply your serial number and product key, but some cases you might need to enter it � on the "Product & Services page", expand a product to find the serial number and product key. Cloud services don't need serial numbers or product keys.
How do I purchase more cloud credits?
If you need more credits, there are three ways to obtain them. Either contact Novedge, or purchase through the Autodesk Store by clicking on "Get more cloud credits" on the Usage Report page � this will take you to the checkout to purchase 100�packs
Does the software included with my Subscription have to connect to the Internet to work?
The desktop software will work when offline for up to 14 days, at which point you must connect to the Internet to continue. After seven days of disconnected use, you will be reminded about the requirement to connect to the Internet. An Internet connection is required in order to access cloud services. Autodesk, InfraWorks, Inventor, AutoCAD, 3ds Max, Maya and Revit are registered trademarks or trademarks of Autodesk, Inc., and/or its subsidiaries and/or affiliates in the USA and/or other countries. All other brand names, product names, or trademarks belong to their respective holders. Autodesk reserves the right to alter product and services offerings, and specifications and pricing at any time without notice, and is not responsible for typographical or graphical errors that may appear in this document.
Does Subscription software sit in the cloud or on my desktop?
Desktop Subscription software is installed on the desktop in the same manner as traditional perpetual-license, desktop products. They are not hosted. Like their perpetual-license counterparts, many Subscriptions include access to cloud services that are not installed on your desktop, for example, rendering.
How do I give other users access and track cloud credit usage?
Manage Users
: If you have purchased more than one Subscription license for a product or suite, administrators can invite other users. Through the "Users" page, administrators can assign users to download/access products and services, view and create web support tickets, and access any advanced support. To Invite users, simply by clicking "add user" - this will automatically create an Autodesk Account for them if they don't already have one. With the Bulk add, copy and paste up to 50 users with the specified formatting (first name last name email). Then select the access the users should have. The users will receive an email notifying them their permissions were updated. Users can then go to Autodesk Account to access the products and services they have been given access to. You can also select multiple users from the user list at a later time and click the "Actions" menu to set their access.
Track User Usage
: To view cloud credit usage for Autodesk services, you will need to enable this feature in the administrator�s Autodesk Account, Once enabled, click the "Reporting" navigation in the left navigation, then click "By Users". You will see a list of users sorted by highest cloud credit usage. If a user is assigned to multiple contracts, they will be listed twice for the services they are using on each contract.
Where do files created with Subscription software reside?
Files and projects created with Desktop Subscription software are saved locally. Although an actively licensed Subscription software product is required to open and edit files, you retain your data.
Is there any difference between files created with Subscription software versus those created with old perpetual-license software?
No, there is no difference between files created in either perpetual or Desktop Subscription software. They are 100% compatible with each other.
What happens to data stored in the cloud after a Subscription is not renewed or terminated?
Cloud services entitlement continues until the end of the billing cycle, at which point all documents stored in Autodesk 360 Storage remains available for a further 30 days (25GB). If your subscription has expired you can continue to access and view existing designs and documentation files during this period, but you will not be able to edit or add information to the files. After 30 days, your Autodesk 360 account will revert to the free offering and storage limitations will be reduced from 25GB to 5GB. Autodesk, InfraWorks, Inventor, AutoCAD, 3ds Max, Maya and Revit are registered trademarks or trademarks of Autodesk, Inc., and/or its subsidiaries and/or affiliates in the USA and/or other countries. All other brand names, product names, or trademarks belong to their respective holders. Autodesk reserves the right to alter product and services offerings, and specifications and pricing at any time without notice, and is not responsible for typographical or graphical errors that may appear in this document.
What are my territory rights if I purchase a Subscription?
If you buy a Subscription in USA you have worldwide rights for usage. If you buy outside USA or if you�re in an excluded country, then the Subscription can only be used in the country of purchase. Consult the terms and conditions agreement for more info.
Can I assign my entire global team to a single Subscription license purchased in the US?
No, the Subscription license needs to be purchased in the home country or territory and only users who reside in that home country can be assigned as a named user.
Can I convert an existing, old perpetual desktop license into a Subscription?
No, you cannot convert a perpetual license into a Subscription.
Can I convert a Subscription into a perpetual license?
No, you cannot convert a Subscription license into a perpetual license.
If I purchase a Subscription can I also purchase cloud credits?
Yes, as a Subscription customer, you can purchase cloud credits through Novedge.
Are Subscription licenses transferable?
No, license transfers are not available.
What happens to expired subscriptions?
1) What happens if I let my Subscription expire but wish to renew at a later date?
2) What if my credit card expires and prevents the automatic renewal of my monthly Subscription?
In these cases, you can simply place an order for a new Subscription. Late renewals after an agreement has expired are not supported.
How do I cancel a Subscription contract?

Childbirth is often thought of as one of the most painful events that humans can experience. In reality, the degree of pain can vary widely from woman to woman, and even from pregnancy to pregnancy.
Preparing yourself for the type of pain you will experience during labor and delivery can help alleviate some of the worry and anxiety you may be feeling. Planning strategies for pain relief in advance of labor will also help ensure you are able to deal with pain when the time arrives.
The Causes of Labor and Delivery Pain
Most women begin labor around the 40th week of pregnancy. Signs associated with the beginnings of labor include uterine contractions and water breaking (amniotic fluid leaking through the vagina).
Uterine contractions are the primary cause of pain during labor. In addition, the baby's movement out of the uterus can cause pain by stretching the vagina, and putting pressure on the cervix, bladder, and bowels.
Labor pain is often manifested as cramping in the abdomen, groin, and back. Many women complain of a tired, achy feeling throughout their entire body. Some women may also experience pain in their sides and thighs.
Managing Pain During Childbirth
While you cannot prevent pain during labor and delivery, the following strategies can prepare you for this pain, so you are better able to handle it:
Exercise During Pregnancy
Getting regular exercise during your pregnancy can strengthen your muscles and increase your endurance to prepare your body for the stress of labor. If your doctor says it is okay for you to exercise, aim to get 30 minutes of moderate cardiovascular activity, such as walking, stationary biking, or swimming, and strength training exercises on most days of the week.
Take Childbirth Classes
In childbirth classes, you will learn pain management techniques, such as visualization and stretches. The 2 most popular birthing philosophies in the United States are the Lamaze technique and the Bradley method.
In the Lamaze technique, relaxation strategies, breathing exercises, distraction, and massage are taught as ways to manage pain during childbirth. The attitude toward pain relief medications is generally neutral, encouraging women to make an informed decision about whether medications are right for them.
The Bradley method emphasizes avoiding pain medications unless absolutely necessary. Instead, women are encouraged to rely on the baby's father, who is the birth coach, to help the mother relax and use deep-breathing techniques.
Use a Doula
A doula (pronounced doo-lah) is a nonmedical person trained to give continuous emotional support during labor to help manage pain. Some hospitals and birth centers provide doulas, and some women hire them privately. One study found that the presence of a doula during childbirth significantly reduced the rate of cesarean section deliveries and use of epidural anesthesia.
Use Other Nonmedication Strategies
Other ways of managing pain include: undergoing hypnosis, doing yoga, walking, having a massage, changing positions, taking a bath or shower, and engaging in other distractions. One study found that breathing techniques and nurse-administered massage significantly reduced the perception of pain during labor. Acupuncture may also provide some benefit.
Use Pain-relief Medications
Spinal and epidural anesthesia are commonly used to manage labor pain. In epidural anesthesia, pain medications that numb nerves are given through a catheter placed in the epidural space around the spinal cord. In spinal anesthesia, the medications are injected into the spinal fluid.
In most women, these medications almost completely relieve labor pain, but do not numb the entire body. This allows the mother to use her abdominal and leg muscle strength to push and deliver the baby when it is time. In addition, the epidural catheter can be used to give extra medications in the event a cesarean section becomes necessary. However, there are risks involved with using epidural medications. The numbing process can prolong labor. They can also increase the chance of an instrumental delivery (forceps) and maternal fever.
Pain medications can also be administered through an IV catheter or through an injection into the muscle. But since these medications can cross into the baby's bloodstream and cause their heart rate to decrease, epidural anesthesia is often preferred.
Plan Ahead
However you choose to manage childbirth pain, be sure to discuss all of your options with your doctor well before you go into labor. Having a pain-relief plan in place will not only make labor and delivery less stressful, it will also relieve your anxiety during your pregnancy. Remember to be flexible since you will not know how childbirth pain will affect you until you are in labor.

We have the door open at our building today, and I can hear the beautiful sound of birds chirping as I type right now. I think it's safe to say that spring is in the air – which means, it's time to start planting your garden.
The official date of the start of spring is March 21 – only three days away. With that in mind, we've picked the Rainshow'r Gard'n Gro Garden Filter System as this weekend's special deal. It's a completely non-toxic de-chlorinator, which is just a fancy way to say that it removes 85 percent of the chlorine from your water, promoting healthy plant growth and nutrition and enhancing the effectiveness of non-chemical pest control methods. Chlorine can have toxic effects on plant growth. If you prefer growing your garden naturally, without the presence of toxic pesticides and harsh chemicals, this filter is for you. In addition to being an effective de-chlorinator, the Rainshow'r Garden Filter System also features an all-white, UV-resistant, molded polypropylene body, making it better able to withstand prolonged sun exposure.
Please note that this filter is not intended for use with drinking water. It is specially designed to remove chlorine, but does not remove particulates and other water contaminants. This garden filter is also not recommended for use with fish ponds. FiltersFast offers a wealth of options for filtering your drinking water. See our Buyer's Guide on Home Water Filters for more information.
This weekend only, purchase your Rainshow'r Gard'n Gro Garden Filter System at a special discounted price of $44. This offer begins today at 4 p.m. and ends Sunday night at midnight, so order now and start planting just in time for spring!

Dramatic Showhouse Rooms
Drama, fantasy, matinee idol looks, and design solutions dazzle at the country's leading showhouses
In design, the grass is always greener. Diminutive rooms leave designers wishing for larger proportions to let them spread their creative wings. And when a room clocks in at a whopping 17x30 feet—like the dining room that Melanie Turner designed for the Atlanta Symphony Showhouse—it can lack the intimacy that is ideal for social gatherings.
"The space was too large for one table and one chandelier," explains Turner. "It needed heft that would offset the spacious dimensions."
To create that "heft," she placed two square Regency-style tables at one end of
the room and a sitting area at the opposite end. The twin tables can be pushed together or pulled apart, making room for four additional guests. Around the white-topped tables Turner mixed two seating styles: contemporary white frames covered in leather and settees with slim, modern profiles that are softened by theatrical mauve-colored velvet. Matching crystal chandeliers from France hang above the tables.

Dining Room by Matthew Patrick Smyth
Following service at the American embassy in China, the owner of this showhouse venue was presented with a hand-painted mural—and its installation—by the Chinese government. (With such provenance, chances are the mural isn't going anywhere.)
When Matthew Patrick Smyth agreed to re-envision the grand dining room for
Kips Bay, the painting was part of the package. "The mural wrapped the entire room and couldn't be touched," says Smyth. "The purpose of a showhouse is to show all that you can do, so this mural really made the design a challenge."

Dining Room by Kay McKallagat
Kay McKallagat doesn't regard a dining room as a pretty showplace visited only when a holiday or family gathering occurs. She's convinced that contemporary homeowners want to use the room for a variety of purposes, so she decided to test her theory on the showhouse room she designed.
The space already boasted beautiful woodwork, including ceiling beams. But because the beams had been stained dark brown before McKallagat took the reins, the wood made the space look like what she describes as a brown cave.
White paint between the beams now tempers the darkness, introducing a chic attitude with a light-refracting, high-gloss finish. The ivory-colored walls, gracefully stenciled with an airy vine pattern in shiny gray, also send light bouncing around the room.
The lesson in contrasts continues on the furniture, where a mahogany table is
a foil for French chairs covered in white linen fabric. A light-colored rug cushions the floor. Secured to the woodwork above the mantel, an existing mirror twinkles with a fresh gold-leaf finish.

Living Room by Michael Carter
In design, good bones are half the battle. So when Michael Carter was presented with this sitting room, he jumped at the chance to work with an architecturally first-rate space with beautiful millwork that included deep crown moldings and a striking broken-pediment fireplace overmantel.
Seating spans a breadth of styles. The sofa is sumptuous in mouse gray velvet and faces a pair of antique shield-back armchairs covered in a slate-and-white damask pattern. Nailheads emphasize the lines of an armchair wearing a silvery cotton velvet.

Living Room Window
"I knew I wanted to implement some changes that would highlight the millwork details instead of letting them recede into all-white walls of paint," says Carter.
To begin the color scheme, Carter chose two grays for the paneled walls. They are soft colors, he explains, like pencil lead. One shade apart, the darker color adds depth to the moldings. A band of gold further accentuates the crown molding and echoes other gilded elements like the cocktail table, a floor lamp, and a clock that hangs over the mantel.

Library by Celerie Kemble
It would be easy for a library paneled entirely in antique Norfolk pine to speak in a schoolmarmish tone. But designer Celerie Kemble coaxed it into unwinding. Hot colors and glamorous surfaces prompted the room to undo the top button of its blouse—and even flirt a little.
"This was meant to be a woman's library," says Kemble. "The idea was to create a space that was sophisticated but fun."

Library Window
The room's focal point is the big window framing an elongated tête-à-tête covered in tone-on-tone pink stripes. With the garden view, the tête-à-tête and a marble garden stool foster serenity and good conversation. Grand drapery panels fall from a shapely cornice with cutout details that span the width of the tall, statement-making window.

Living Room by Mary Douglas Drysdale
The living room that Mary Douglas Drysdale transformed at the Richmond Showhouse was classic in style and gracious in its dimensions. But what it provided in area, it neglected in light. Despite three sets of French doors leading to a porch, natural light was limited and thus a challenge.
"From the get-go, I imagined this space to be light with everything in white and off-white tones," says Drysdale. "I accented the space by picking up the wood tones set by the floor."

Associated Press – Mon, Oct 1, 2012By |
SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — California investigators searched Monday for thieves who made off with an estimated $2 million in precious gems and gold from a mining museum in the Sierra Nevada foothills during a brazen daytime robbery.
But they didn't get away with the biggest prize of all — the nearly 14-pound Fricot Nugget, a giant crystalline gold mass unearthed in the Gold Rush era.
During their attempt to grab the massive nugget, the robbers triggered an alarm that alerted authorities who swarmed the museum but were unable to nab the thieves.
At least two robbers wearing hoods and armed with pickaxes threatened workers during the heist Friday at the California Mining and Minerals Museum in Mariposa, the California Highway Patrol said.
No suspects have been identified. Read More

Gestational diabetes usually does not cause symptoms distinguishable from those that commonly occur in pregnancy. If symptoms do occur, they may be similar to those in nongestational diabetes. These may include:
- Increased urination (polyuria)—When glucose accumulates in the blood, it pulls water out of the body's tissues and into the blood. The kidneys turn this extra water into urine and excrete it. This increases your urine output.
- Increased thirst (polydipsia)—The increase in urine output causes your body to become dehydrated . This makes you thirsty.
- Increased hunger—Your body's cells are not getting enough glucose, which means your cells cannot get enough food. This causes you to feel hungry.
- Recurring urinary tract infection or vaginal yeast infection —When glucose builds up in the blood, it can affect the functioning of your white blood cells. This may cause you to have urinary tract infections or vaginal yeast infections more often.
- Weight loss—Despite the increase in appetite, you may lose weight. This is because the cells cannot get enough glucose to use for energy so they begin to break down the body's stores of fat in order to produce energy.
- Fatigue—Because your cells are not getting glucose, they cannot get enough energy. This can make you feel tired.

Marchetta: Standing up to save Lake Tahoe
Following years of public process and serious discussions to improve one of the strictest environmental plans in the nation, the Sierra Club recently filed suit on the update of Lake Tahoe's Regional Plan, a blueprint for the region's long-term sustainability. As the litigation deadline loomed, the options were clear – further extend discussions that started a decade ago, or stand up for the positive progress that Lake Tahoe residents and visitors have made toward true environmental stewardship. We chose to stand up for the lake and the thousands of stakeholders who have brought us to this critical moment in time.
It's relatively easy to make regulations, and Lake Tahoe has no shortage of them, but ensuring they continue to work toward the underlying goal takes real commitment. Changing them to improve environmental benefits takes courage and insight. What the proponents of the litigation have failed to understand, despite best available science and repeated documentation, is that maintaining the status quo at Lake Tahoe will not only fail to restore the ecosystem but it also will not address the communities surrounding this national treasure that are in decline and crisis. Under 30-year-old rules, rows of outdated motels and strip development were locked in place, complicating efforts to update needed environmental protections. Environmentally beneficial change requires investment, either public or private. Without investment in change, Tahoe's struggling communities can only dream of ever achieving the scale of environmental restoration that Lake Tahoe needs.
But the plan gave something far more important than new tools to encourage environmental investment. A side effect of the process to update the Regional Plan is a new positive spirit in Lake Tahoe – something we haven't seen in the region for decades. The culture surrounding Lake Tahoe has tended to be cynical and focused on what isn't possible. An intangible benefit of the groundswell of support for the 2012 Regional Plan is newfound momentum toward renewal and possibility. More people have shown they are willing to step in, participate, engage, and even lead Lake Tahoe's communities forward. More than ever we are hearing about what is possible when people come together and work together-environmental improvement, economic sustainability, and positive social change.
Litigation by well-meaning but uninformed activists throws a wrench into the spirit of the possible. Pointless litigation, without solutions, by those who cling to an outdated environmental strategy works only to kill the renewed spirit of a community just when we are taking responsibility and stepping up more collectively than ever before. Why would the Sierra Club want to kill a community's newfound vitality which is grounded in environmental restoration?
Besides missing the opportunity to play a role in Lake Tahoe's future, the litigants are not offering any new arguments or groundbreaking information. TRPA staff spent hundreds of hours in stakeholder meetings with representatives of these groups and never hesitated to consider and respond to concerns. Each of our reasoned responses was met with the same negativity: "It can't be done." Worse still, the lawsuit espouses a backward-looking philosophy for Tahoe that appears hostile to local residents and the millions of visitors who marvel at this spectacular natural wonder. This philosophy fails to acknowledge a key fact – that we can live in harmony with our fragile environment. Let's be clear, the 2012 Regional Plan is not a development plan, it is an environmental restoration plan that focuses on the largest contributors of pollutants to Lake Tahoe. The plan keeps regional caps on growth and requirements to preserve open space, and prohibits land subdivisions. With a few modest amendments in defined high-use areas, the plan works to accelerate restoration of Lake Tahoe's famed water clarity and is projected to reduce greenhouse gas emissions in the basin by 7 percent per capita by 2035. By that time, the basin-wide population is projected to equal only what it was in the year 2000.
Looking at the details of the plan under litigation, you might join me in asking the question, why exactly are the litigants suing?
If you supported the plan, or even if you simply recognized the need for a renewed approach to save Lake Tahoe and support its communities, now is the time to stay the course. Let's keep moving forward.
– Joanne S. Marchetta is Executive Director of the Tahoe Regional Planning Agency.

The purpose of screening is early diagnosis and treatment. Screening tests are usually administered to people without current symptoms, but who may be at high risk for certain diseases or conditions.
Screening Guidelines
According to the American Diabetes Association, about 1 in every 400-500 children and teens have type 1 diabetes.
Screening is usually only done in people who have symptoms, which may include:
- Weight loss
- Increased urination
- Extreme thirst
- Hunger
- Fatigue, weakness
- Blurry vision
- Irritability
- Headaches
Screening will also be done if you are at high risk for type 1 diabetes, such as:
- Having a family history of type 1 diabetes (especially if you have a twin with the condition)
- Having a personal history of hyperglycemia
If you have symptoms of type 1 diabetes or risk factors, report them to your doctor so that you can be tested.
Screening Tests
Your doctor may do a blood test to check your blood sugar level. A measurement of 200 milligrams per deciliter (mg/dl) [11.1 mmol/L] or higher indicates that you may have diabetes. Further testing will be done to confirm the diagnosis.
The HbA1c test is a good indicator of your average blood sugar levels over the previous 2-4 months. If your HBA1c level is 6.5% or higher, this indicates a diagnosis of diabetes.
People with type 1 diabetes produce autoantibodies that attack and destroy the islet cells that make insulin. Researchers have found that these autoantibodies appear in the blood long before the development of diabetes symptoms. The immune system seems to slowly attack the pancreas. One way that doctors can screen for type 1 diabetes is to measure autoantibodies. However, this test is not routinely done.

Finally pulled the trigger on a Leaf in Austin, TX this weekend.
2016 Black Leaf S30 + Premium Package + floor mats + splash guards
Agreed upon value: $35,000
Cap cost reduction: $12,443
Cap cost, adjusted: $25,081
Residual: $12,269
Rebates: $10,450
Down payment: $2,500
Total monthly payment (w/ TT&L): $356
One day in and I'm loving my Leaf! I have a feeling that I could have done even better on the price, but the effort it took to get to this point was beyond ridiculous. All the dealerships in my area kept quoting leases around $590 with $2,500 down.
In any case, goodbye VW diesel, hello electric Nissan!
