UPDATE: Malaysia: Fatwa against yoga reversed
Prime Minister Abdullah Ahmad Badawi moved to contain the damage, telling the national news agency Bernama that Muslims could carry on doing yoga but minus the chanting.
"I wish to state that a physical regime with no elements of worship can continue, meaning, it is not banned. I believe that Muslims are not easily swayed into polytheism," he said.

Indonesia's top Islamic body says it will consider banning Muslims from practicing yoga.
Cleric Ma'ruf Amin said Thursday the Ulema Council was trying to determine if the ancient Indian exercise could corrupt the faith of believers. If the answer is yes, a nonbinding edict prohibiting the practice could be passed next month.
The discussions follow a decision by the Islamic body in neighboring Malaysia to issue a ban — though Muslims there have been told they can perform yoga as long as they refrain from chanting religious mantras.
Amin said investigators will interview practitioners across Indonesia, the world's most populous Muslim nation, to see if restrictions need to be passed. They will also visit yoga clubs and gyms.

BMW has chosen the city of San Francisco to launch its new DriveNow car sharing program, alongside their ParkNow mobile parking solution. San Francisco is at the forefront of cities working to develop and implement innovative approaches to urban challenges, including traffic congestion and the need for smarter, greener parking systems. The DriveNow car-sharing program gives drivers access to BMW's ActiveE electric car, while the ParkNow mobile app makes it easier for drivers to find parking spots in the city.
Anyone that has ever driven in San Francisco and tried to find parking knows that it can be quite a challenge. There are an estimated 505,000 vehicles in San Francisco, yet only 448,000 parking spaces available at any given time. On weekdays, the total vehicle population increases by approximately 35,000. An estimated one-third of all downtown traffic on weekdays is due to vehicles searching for a parking spot. Drivers can search for parking using ParkNow's mobile app or website, reserve, pay and then be navigated directly to the parking facility, reducing time spent looking for parking, as well as emissions. There are currently 14 ParkNow locations in and around San Francisco piloting the system, but over 100 locations will be launched in the coming weeks.
DriveNow originally launched in June and is a flexible, premium car-sharing program offering the opportunity to drive BMW's first all-electric vehicle, the BMW ActiveE, which is based on the 1 Series coupe. The fleet of 70 ActiveE vehicles is located at eight DriveNow Stations around San Francisco, with two additional stations in Palo Alto and at the San Francisco International Airport coming soon. Users can locate and book an available car using the DriveNow web site or mobile app. They can then return the car to the same—or any other—DriveNow Station, allowing for convenient one-way trips. Through a partnership with California-based Coulomb Technologies' ChargePoint network drivers can easily also locate a nearby charging station if they need to top-off during the course of their rental, which has no time limit.
"The BMW Group is more than a premium car company, it is also focused on developing and delivering new services to help meet the increasing need for flexible mobility solutions in our cities," said BMW Group Member of the Board Dr. Ian Robertson. San Francisco is serving as the launch city for both programs, but it is expected to be available in other cities in the future.

We Need More Latinos Involved In Math & Science
By Jean Rockford Aguilar-Valdez
I have a proposition for us Latinos. A revolution of sorts, and one that is ripe for the making: Latinos need to become a force to be reckoned with in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math (STEM).
A recent report showed that over the past 10 years, jobs in science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) grew three times faster than jobs in other fields, a trend that is only likely to continue. Further, people with jobs in these fields are less likely to be unemployed, earn 26% more than those in other fields, and are in high demand by employers in the U.S. With such wonderful prospects, you'd think everyone would be climbing over themselves to major in these fields and to take these high-paying, high-status jobs with such job security and potential for future growth. Not so.
In spite of the fact that in other arenas, job prospects have been dim, the amount of openings in STEM-related careers continues to increase, and yet the pool of qualified applicants continues to remain low. The shortage of those applying for STEM-related jobs has caused national concern, which has not escaped the attention of even President Obama.
In our increasingly global, interconnected, and technologically-driven society, the demand is high for those with drive and talent for innovation in the sciences, technology, engineering, and math. So much of our future is dependent on there being a large workforce of creative and dedicated minds, to maintain our technological way-of-life and fuel its growth.
Yet, of those who currently inhabit the STEM workforce, the majority is largely white and male and this trend is similar for those majoring in STEM. Latinos represent only 4% of those in STEM. It has long been the case that minorities, especially Latinos, have been grossly underrepresented in STEM. This kind of under-representation not only hurts the economic and social viability of Latinos as a whole, but also becomes a vicious cycle, where young Latinos do not see role models in STEM, and so do not feel welcome there. Further, the lack of Latinos in STEM makes the chances that the knowledge and skills gained from such fields will not be "brought back" into the Latino community. Latinos are then left without examples or benefits of the burgeoning STEM field that others, like middle to upper class whites, are reaping. But things are changing, and there is a golden opportunity before us.
50.5 million Latinos are currently in the U.S. (unofficial numbers are likely way more), and more than half of the nation's growth in the last 10 years was comprised of Latinos, whose numbers grew four times faster than the U.S. population as a whole. Furthermore, 23.1% of U.S. children under the age of 17, are Latino, making Latinos the largest minority group in the country (And most of this growth is of U.S. citizens, not immigrants).
When 1 in 5 of the children in our schools is Latino, what justification is there for saying that STEM is only for the white, male, and middle- or upper-class? The demographics of the U.S. are changing, and with it we are faced with two options:
1.) Leave STEM to the disproportionally represented white population (and the associated stereotype that only white nerdy boys go into that field) and thus allow the STEM shortage to continue without Latinos enjoying the career-related benefits.
2.) Claim STEM as our own, as a field that can benefit from the strength of our numbers, perspectives, connections, and understandings; bringing to the Latino community all the economic, social, and intellectual power that the field of STEM affords to modern society.
Guess which one I recommend?

Justin Bieber Almost Cost Olympic Swimmer Missy Franklin Her Career
Olympic swimmer Missy Franklin is a known Belieber, but it turns out her love for the singer and the power of social media almost cost her her career. Say what?
Franklin damn near lost her mind -- like any self-respecting Belieber -- when Justin Bieber acknowledged her via tweet. The Bieber showed his appreciation and support by sending her a swag bag of t-shirts, CDs, posters and other goodies. She shared a photo of the items on Twitter.
But she didn't get to keep 'em. Not because she outgrew her love for the Biebs, but because receiving such gifts threatened her status as an amateur. So she couldn't fully enjoy her favorite singer's act of kindness.
"It was really sweet of him," the swimmer revealed in a chat with ESPN. "But it was considered a form of special treatment that could have jeopardized my amateur status. I've given up way too much and sacrificed too much to keep a Justin Bieber T-shirt and lose it all. So I sent it back."
What a bum out, though! We're not sure how receiving a care package of Biebs' stuff is "special treatment." It's not like it was steroids or he was paying her to wear Bieber shirts at events.
Turns out the Bieber items are not the only thing that she has had to nix in order to maintain her high school level swim status. She has had to pass on endorsement deals, as well, which are always lucrative. Just ask an NBA player about those, since hoops stars pretty much work for Nike, not the NBA, at this point.

Press Release
District Attorney Concludes Charges Are Not Supportable in Dimond Mall Shooting Death
August 26, 2005
(Anchorage) - Today representatives from the Anchorage District Attorney's Office and the Anchorage Police Department announced that charges will not be filed in the death of fourteen year old Calil Gross-Mininall at the Dimond Mall on March 1, 2005.
The evidence collected by the Anchorage Police Department showed that a group of three young men and the victim, Gross-Mininall, left the Dimond Mall and went into the parking lot at about 5:00 p.m. on March 1. Gross-Mininall was armed with a handgun. One of the group of three men was also armed with a handgun. There was an exchange of gunfire in which Gross-Mininall was killed by a bullet fired by one of the group of three. One of the men in the group of three suffered a leg injury caused by a bullet fired by Gross-Mininall.
When there is an exchange of gunfire between two sides, it is difficult to prove which side fired first. It was more difficult in this case, because the only statements came from one of the two sides. The statements from that side were that Gross-Mininall fired first. Furthermore, the statements of the other three young men differed as to who on their side did the shooting. There were no other eyewitnesses or physical evidence to prove which of the three fired the shot that killed Gross-Mininall.
The law requires the prosecution to disprove self-defense beyond a reasonable doubt at trial. On this evidence, the prosecution cannot disprove that the group of three were not entitled to defend themselves from the gunfire of Gross-Mininall. Even if the prosecution could overcome self-defense, the evidence does not show who fired the shot that killed Gross-Mininall.
A claim of self-defense cannot be used when a party claiming this defense is engaged in a felony involving one or more persons. This is called the "gang" exception to self-defense. But there was no evidence that the person who shot Gross-Mininall was affiliated with a gang. In fact, the evidence showed that Gross-Mininall was affiliated with a gang. So the "gang" exception does not apply to this case.
Earlier in the week detectives from APD and lawyers from the District Attorney's Office met with Gross-Mininall's mother to explain their decision. "Our hearts go out to Calil's mother, said Linton. "Sometimes the facts surrounding the death of someone make prosecuting a case unfeasible. If, however, new evidence or witnesses are discovered that add to our understanding of this matter, we will consider whether to go forward with criminal charges."

Well, crap
Yesterday I went and met with a trainer at my new gym for my "fitness evaluation." I hate this part of joining a gym. I KNOW I'm out of shape. In fact, I am intimately aware of just how out of shape I am and all I really want you to do is show me how to use the torture devices in the back so I don't rip off my own arms trying to do a tricep lunge. But this trainer was so nice, so personable and easy to talk to that before I knew it I was standing on a scale and letting her put a blood pressure cuff on my arm.
And that's when things got ugly.
She took my blood pressure once. Then again. Then asked me to take some deep breaths and relax my body and uncross my legs. And took it again. All three times my blood pressure was 153/110. She then very gently and kindly informed me that I needed to see a doctor and that I could not exercise again until I had a note from said doctor assuring her that I would not stroke out on the ellipticals.
So, I went to my doctor today, keeping my fingers crossed that it was just the nervous reaction to being in a fitness evaluation, and having my fitness (read: flabbiness) evaluated (read: judged). BUT OF COURSE IT WASN'T. It was just as high today as it was yesterday, and she reminded me that back in September she had said that I was borderline and that if it continued to creep up, we'd have to start trying medication. She then handed me a prescription for Lortel and said no exercise for three weeks, at which time she'll check me again and make sure it's going down.
THEN she tells me that I should expect to feel unusually tired for the first week "or so" and that I need to not get up too quickly from sitting or lying down. I reminded her that I have small children. She just smiled as if to say, Do you really need to move all that fast when someone starts vomiting on the good couch? Isn't your health more important?
So of course as soon as I get home, I look up this drug online and start reading about all the side effects. Because they NEVER tell you all the side effects there in the doctor's office. No one would ever take any kind of medication of it was the doctor going, "And you may experience weight gain, dry mouth, a persistent cough, edema, nose worms, excessive toe jam, an unusual need to listen to Neil Sedaka in the shower, and a lack of interest in lepidoptery." And reading about the potential side effects, without being a statistician, it's very difficult to determine what the chances are of developing any of the more severe side effects. If you go onto any kind of forum where people report how they did on a drug it's all "MY NASAL PASSAGES SWELLED SHUT AND I HAD TO PRY THEM OPEN WITH GARDEN TOOLS. THEN MY LIVER FELL OUT AND THE DOG STARTED PLAYING WITH IT BEFORE I COULD GET IT BACK IN. THEN MY WIFE LEFT ME OVER ALL THE NEIL SEDAKA MUSIC." The people who do well on meds and aren't hypochondriacs don't tend to participate in forums like that, so you have to take it all with a grain of salt (EXCEPT I CAN'T HAVE ANY MORE SALT, DAMMIT).
Then I get to the end of the side effects list and of course the last one is "loss of interest in sex." Why is this ALWAYS one of the side effects of any medication I have to take? I was on Zoloft for about a year after my second child was born, and I remember the doctor saying, "Oh, and your sex drive may be reduced a bit while you're on this." Because when they DO decide to tell you about a side effect, they have to say it like that. And was she correct? Let's put it this way: on Zoloft, you still want it, and you can certainly still do it, but you just can't...finish it. Like, ever. You get what I'm saying? IT'S VERY FRUSTRATING.
But then she asked if I'd been feeling off lately, any headaches or anything else, and I mentioned the daily headaches that I have had for several weeks now, along with an inability to concentrate. I have been so unfocussed, and it has been unusual enough that it was one of the reasons I finally caved and joined the damn gym. I thought maybe some exercise would do me good and get my brain back on track. She just nodded and said, "The effects of high blood pressure, especially on women, are subtle. They can seem just like the effects of the normal stresses we have in daily life." And having written about heart disease in women, I knew she was right.
So sometime this weekend, I will start taking some little pill and wait for the nose worms to set in. And hope that, despite the fatigue, I'll still be able to finish things. I MEANT MY WORK. Geez.

I take Lotrel also. It DOES wipe out the sex drive...but then that could be my age? maybe?
I did have the tiredness, but it went away after a couple of naps..

I take the highest dosage possible of Metoprolol and I do just fine. It did seem to make me a little tired to start out, because that's the effect of lowered BP!
I will say, I'm a salt lover and eat just as much of it as I used to... :D

I can't help you with the side effects, my BP is perfect. It is my mind that wanders..........oh, yeah.....uhhhh.....good luck on the medication. Got to run and finish whatever it was I was doing before I walked into the room and decided to sit at the computer.......

I typed a LONG comment on my iPhone..and it wouldn't post. ARRRGH!
First of all- Take a deep breath and relax!
Not everyone who takes Lotrel has decreased sex drive. I have a friend who takes it and has a HEALTHY sex drive. (yeah I know- TMI)
Don't anticipate side effects; your mind is amazingly powerful. It can create problems that are not related to the medicine. HOWEVER if you are convinced it is related and you stop the med, it will stop the problem.
I have taken BP meds for a few years. I have taken several different ones. Actually I am planning to ask my MD to switch me to Lotrel (generic) at my next visit. (I have reasons)
Lotrel is a very good medicine. It combines an ACE inhibitor (heart protective) with a calcium channel blocker. They work synergistically. (god, I sound like some freaky sales rep!)
If you need support, holler out to me. My email is available thru my blog. I remember when mine high BP started. It can be scary and confusing. A friend who has been there done that can help. (but they have to have a good attitude and a wicked sense of humor!)

oh crap! --> "I remember when mine high BP started."
yeah, the mind is the first part to go!
I meant "when MY high BP started"

OK - if you have any "unfortunate" side effects, I have one word for you - "Intense"!! If you want more info, e-mail me - maybe TMI for a blog post!!

Sorry about all of that...I have no idea about the high BP thing, but can definately relate to the extra pounds!! ugh!! Good luck with all of that!

- Duff said...
Look on the upside (don't you hate it when someone says that crap?)
Look on the upside. One of the side effects is not hairy tongue.
And everyone around will tell you exactly what the side effects really are--my son asks, "Are you gonna go Hulk this week?"
My apologies, was I supposed to say something soothing?
- May 27, 2010 at 6:16 PM
- Patty said...
ROTFLMAO after reading your post, you make my day. I think I've had every side effect you've mentioned except I don't know what lipidotry (or how ever it's spelled) is. But I've probably had it to. Just think, it only gets worse with age. I'm there, believe me.
Oh ya, I want to talk to Sarah Craig about this "intense" thing.
And thanks to Duff for sharing that you won't get a hairy tongue as a side effect. I don't need one of those.
- May 27, 2010 at 6:53 PM
- Susan Entwistle said...
All those side effects are listed for legal reasons. Enough said.
Chin up. My husband's been on Lotrel for years, and he's had no problem with his sex drive. (Maybe I should start crushing up extras and sprinkling it on his Cocoa Krispies....)

I know you're frustrated and worried about the BP thing. Yeah, side effects are crappy, but... (it's a big but) you WILL feel better once you get on the right med. Your kids need you to be there for them for a long time, and, well, I don't need to mention the bad things that happen when high BP isn't treated. Don't worry about the side effects, just recognize them when they happen. Meds aren't always bad. Sometimes they even save lives.

I started on high BP meds last year - Lisinopril - was on 10mg per day - had some dizziness when getting up too fast. My BP was actually a little too low. My dr. cut my dose in half and it's great - no more dizziness - great BP. I think mine was even a little higher than yours! Good luck. (No prob. with sex drive - it's still way lower than hubby's)

- Sequana said...
When my doc's eyes started rolling at the sight of my BP numbers, she told me before we started figuring out any meds to see what I could do about changing my diet. And I did. And I never had to go on meds.
CUT OUT THE SALT! Start reading those labels. Every damn thing has salt(sodium) in it.
Then I got a little wrist thingie to check my own BP numbers at home when I was calm.
In a couple of months, I had those numbers down and they've stayed there. I swear you won't even miss salt in a little bit. Use unsalted butter, crackers with no salt.....cut back on the prepared foods and snacks.....and for God's sake, NO RAMEN NOODLES! *L*
Calm down and carry on.

I have taken BP medication since I was 30 years old. High BP is called "the silent killer" and can be prevented by medication. Sometimes it's not lifestyle, it's genetics. (No cancer in my family, most everyone who died young had a stroke). And as far as the side effects, if only a few people experience one thing, it has to be listed in the side effects. Just go by how YOU feel, and stay in touch with your MD. (Do I sound like a nurse??? LOL. I am.)

Paxil did the same thing to me as your Zoloft. Kinda defeats the purpose of an antidepressant, huh?

My husband and I joke about the ads we see on T.V. Whenever one comes on WE always finish the commerical with "and sometimes death."
It's so scary taking meds for anything because of all the side effects.

- Lori said...
SNORTING AND ROLLING AROUND ON THE FLOOR. Well, I am steering clear of the gardening tools if my nose swells shut! I will be sure to share the "other" side effects with my husband! So far the only one I notice with my med is it makes me cough after I take it. But then, maybe I think all the other things are NORMAL??!!
- May 28, 2010 at 11:00 PM
Deborah says:
Yes, please listen to mscallie53 and wordmama.
Start the meds, when you are ready to start exercising, just keep at it.
Maybe eventually you can exercise off the meds. Also with diet change.
Have to say though that I think the recent research says that salt (sodium) doesn't contribute as much to high blood pressure as previously thought, but your doctor will be able to give you the most up to date information there.
Don't abandon allopathic medicine, but you might want to check out ayurvedic medicine....
Be well.

Good luck on the meds. I am 38 and took a BP pill for while, it was not the worst thing ever. I did not notice any nose worms, but I did cough a lot. They can change it to a different one if the effects ie- sex drive, are unpleasant.
Ultimately you will feel better. You kidneys will be happier too!
Good luck!

OH! I agree with mscallie! Very selfishly... but, yes! You lower my BP with every post! I'm usually laughing so much!

Thank goodness the trainer at the gym took your blood pressure. Hope you will get along just fine with your meds, but it may take some adjusting to get just the right dosage (and avoid the nose worms). Good luck!

I've been looking for a nice coral/orange color for the summer. This is PERFECT. The color leans more towards coral, which I love. This color suits many different skin tones. This is definitely a bright, eye catching lipstick. What I like is that this is beautiful, but not too over the top. This definitely is an attention grabber. I also love the formula & how smooth this glides on. This is also very hydrating as well. The color is buildable, you can go lighter or more intense if you want. This adds that little POP to your makeup. The only thing I don't like is the staying power. This color quickly fades, which was very dissapointing. I had to keep reapplying this every 10 minutes. Other than that, this is a great color/lipstick. Since the staying power wasn't that great, I'm not sure if I would buy this one again. Especially at $19 a pop, I would expect the staying power to be better. That's too much money for me to be able to overlook the staying power of this. I still gave this 4 points though, because I don't think it would be fair to go any lower since I did love the color itself & the smooth/hydrating formula. If you don't mind reapplying often, this is worth checking out.
**UPDATE:** I ended up returning this & getting my money back. It's a nice color, but not for me.
