Five years after signing agreements with government, results remain mitigated in most communities.
Some 20 community forest projects are expected to make a comprehensive revision of their management plans following the expiration of the first ones as agreed upon in the convention signed between them and government.
Authoritative sources in the Ministry of Forestry and Wildlife has expressed worry over the performance of the various communities during the first phase of management, stating inter alia that there has been a lot of deviation from the original objective. Several cases of exploiting resources out of the designated zones have been reported. Other improprieties include: clandestine exploitation of tree species, inability to transport products to the market, non injection of forest resources into development projects for the benefit of the population, lack of accountability from some Community Forest Managers, exploitation of the local population for personal ends, and no unanimity on how the resources should be exploited. The population in some cases have been complaining of theft. This is the case with the Mbai Community Forest in the Kilum/Ijim Forest Project zone, where management has been complaining of theft of Prunus Africana bark.
That notwithstanding, there seem to be a misunderstanding of the whole concept of community forestry as introduced by the administration. Once the management plan has been drawn and approved, the population is abandoned to fend for itself. There is total confusion as to which way forward. The mitigated results were readily confirmed in November last year when authorities of the Ministry of Forestry and Wildlife made an on-the-spot assessment of the implementation of the project. They were globally not satisfied, informed sources say. But they have been expressing hopes for change in the near future. Community forest concept is a whole process which will certainly improve with time. A national workshop will soon be organised to assess the milestone covered.
But this will be an on-the-paper assessment. Field evaluation has been quite difficult. The administration do not yet have the necessary tools that can enable it cover the national territory. Otherwise, it ought to be a permanent exercise. This notwithstanding, it is important to note the important role that government has to play in ensuring that the objective of community forest is attained. This has to do with the fight against poverty, improving the life of the population and promoting the sustainable management of forest resources.
The agreements signed between government and communities bequeathing the management of the forest to their (communities) hands, have a life span of 30 years but management plans have to be presented to the administration for approbation after every five years. Initially, 87 community forest projects were created. But with time, the administration discovered so many adventurers, many of whom have been eliminated. Presently, there are basically 20 active community forest projects in the country.

Today Siri Was Hacked To Control A Thermostat, But Tomorrow Siri Will Control Every Gadget In Your Life
Last week, we reported that French developer Applidium had managed to blow the Siri protocol wide open, making it possible for any internet connected device to dial into Apple's Siri servers and get a response.
Any internet connected device? Pshaw, you might scoff. But one week later, we have the proof: a hacker who has tricked Siri into talking with his internet-connected thermostat!

Character Design... What do you think?
This is a Mummy Queen that I've been designing for two days. I finished it and I am pretty happy about it. However I haven't done any characters in a while so hearing opinions/suggestions/"anatomy is broken" from you guys will help me get back on track. Thanks! :p

You need to constantly ask yourself why why why when actually designing things. Why does she look the way she does? Why is she acting the way she is? Why is she wearing what she's wearing?
The anatomy isn't awful but it lacks some understanding, the shapes of the arms around the elbows, the feet, the super-thin torso could all be helped by a bit of reference.

The first thing that comes to my mind when I hear "mummy-queen" would rather be dry rotten skin and a way of presenting your character in a much more majestic and intimidating pose. Unfortunately your attempt goes into a completely different direction. You drew a jouvenile very healthy looking lady in tp tights Would I not have read your description afterwards there would have been no way to figure out your actual intention. Other than that watch out for covered up bodyparts ... if your are not a 100% sure about the human anatomy maybe try to set up a rig first and then add the volumes. Clothes should be the final layer after you have achieved a decently proportioned body.
No skill still isn't a new side.

Also continuing on Jason's point, consider where she lives and what her culture is like when you think what she looks like. Like "mummy" usually makes on think of Egypt, which is something you seem to be going for, but then she has boomerangs and pretty crudely stylized painting that make me think of Australian aboriginals which seems completely unrelated to mummies (and queens). If she's just from some imaginary land, then going too close to real life cultures may work against you, and if she's supposed to be at least a little related to the real thing, then do a lot more research.
Also I can't really tell if that's supposed to be some sort of battle armor (completely useless for a real fight though) or just ceremonial armor or just her usual clothes?

Thank you Jason Rainville, Black Spot, lord_regenschirm and TinyBird! It's good to hear them. It was foolish of me to do the cover-up- people can see through my weakness right away. Reading your comments I've also realized that I was wrong to just make up a drawing and call it a character design. More thoughts are definitely going to be put into anything I call "character design" from now.
Thanks again!

Daily Encouragement
March 10
Where is happiness to be found? The famous Roman philosopher-emperor Marcus Aurelius (121-80) said, "A man's true delight is to do the things he was made for." Human happiness, he maintained, lies in doing those things only humans can: seeking the truth and acting to help those who are suffering. Goethe, too, asserted that those who work cheerfully and take joy in the fruits of their labor are truly happy. These are the words of great thinkers, and as you can see they are in complete accord with the teachings of Buddhism.

AUSTRALIA'S science lobby groups have not taken kindly to plans for the creation of an Australian Technology Group (ATG). One way they have been expressing criticism is by taking pot shots at its UK forerunner, the British Technology Group (BTG), widely seen as a model for the ATG.
But their criticism is misplaced. The BTG, although not without its problems, is by no means the ineffectual lame duck that the lobby groups perceive.
The ATG was proposed last November by a task force on the commercialisation of research, headed by industrialist Ray Block. The basic idea is that the ATG will provide a way of spearheading the buying and selling of intellectual property in Australia. It was given the nod last week in the Prime Minister's economic statement. According to Block, the ATG could become a centre of expertise in intellectual property law, technology transfer and international negotiations "like the ...

"You Gotta Be Kidding!"
by Mickey Charles CEO, sportsnetwork.com
Hatboro, PA (Sports Network) --
Regardless of what is being reported by ESPN, or anyone else, I cannot possibly believe that someone, except a dart thrower with no knowledge of college basketball whatsoever, had George Mason coming this far in the 2006 NCAA Division l Men?s Basketball Tournament. Puhleeeeze!!!
Let?s keep the all important anticipated score differentials in mind ? spoken in English, that means the point spreads put forth by Las Vegas as well as the off-shore gaming establishments that watch all of sports with more than a keen eye. That watchful attentiveness is also being exercised by the fans that are compelled to invest a few quid in predicting the final outcome of each of the games. Florida is a seeming solid 6 point favorite over George Mason, the persistent Patriots that do not want to go home. The tough kids of the Bayou from LSU are 2-2 ? over UCLA and their degree laden aggregation ? strength versus smarts. Ought to be interesting. And, after Saturday?s confrontations we will be down to a precious two.
Funny that the remaining teams are The Final Four but that the next two are just The Final, no acronym or words that rhyme, like The Terrible Two, The Survivors (great name for a TV show), Two and Done, Terminal Two or Just Two.
OK, replay time. Quickly, I had Duke and Florida in the championship game so the Gators are still alive and so is my bracket. And, I had UCLA losing to Duke tomorrow but they might end up losing to LSU.
The Colonial Athletic Conference. It sounds like a gathering of people waiting for the British to try and retake the Colonies. That is where George Mason competes and they do not arrive with muskets in hand but lots of heart and talent on the hardwoods, choreographed by its coach, Jim Larranaga, not exactly a household word in the collegiate basketball ranks. They were 11th seeded and, in succession, have bested, and ousted, Michigan State, North Carolina, Wichita State and Connecticut, teams with eight national championships among them ? not, of course, these teams precisely, but the schools. Still? impressive. They did not belong here, so many said. Really? Giving them their due, the Gators of Florida have also watched the GM wins, they have seen the game films, they know what to expect and they are as young, talented and aggressive as the upstarts, only more so.
Florida coach Billy Donovan knows what to expect and should be able to counter whatever comes his way tomorrow. Containing Joakim Noah, the 6?11? son of a French tennis great, Yannick Noah, will be akin to catching the wind in a bottle. You cannot get into the area near the basket, as George Mason would like to do, without encountering a forest of humanity. Villanova, with some of the best guards in the college ranks?maybe the best?learned that and finally headed home to Philadelphia to become spectators. Put Noah with forward Al Horford and it is volleyball under the net.
No number one seed in the Final Four for the first time since 1980 and this tournament is one of the best in recent memory for sheer excitement and heart thumping finishes. But, there will not be an 11th seed playing for the championship either.
Enter LSU with its frontline bench pressing the bus that takes them to the arena before heading inside to take on the UCLA Bruins. How does anyone get in the face of Glen ?Big Baby? Davis (310 pounds of proficiency) and his freshman aircraft carrier buddy, Tyrus Thomas, an alliteration that is as tough to say as it is to stop when battling for a rebound? Also, let us not forget Darnell Lazare, often lost in the limelight shining on Davis and Thomas. These guys held Duke to a season-low 27.7 shooting in the regional semifinal. Are you kidding me? There was more coverage there than the tarp you just threw on your new car this morning. Even Ben Howland, coach of the Bruins, refers to Thomas and Davis as ?human fly swatting machines.? And, that was not said to prepare his troops or with a wink towards his own locker room. He is recognizing fact.
One must keep in mind that this team lost to UConn 67-66 on January 7th and then reeled off seven straight wins. Nice, very nice.
UCLA has not won in the classic manner. Truth be told, each victory has been sweet for them but ugly in the eyes of anyone with knowledge about basketball. They beat Memphis on 4-for-17 shooting in the second half, 20 for 39 from the foul line and 17 turnovers. Memphis had to puke its guts out after the game and being told of these stats. It was the lowest scoring regional final since the shot clock was initiated in the tournament in 1986.
With a 31-6 record, UCLA has now won 11 straight and only one of its opponents has scored more than 60 points. They will slow this one down to a crawl. Count on it. The 7-foot Ryan Hollins will not offset the physical presence of LSU and Luc Richard Mbah a Moute will have his hands full trying to do the work of two. Plodding will not help here as the Tigers just wear their opponents down. Ugly no longer works although it was great at a bar in ?Coyote Ugly.?
Make it Florida and LSU in the Finale and I would lay the points both times while a host of handicappers will be encouraging their callers to stay with George Mason down to the wire. What about the Patriots in that tease, adding 6 more points to the total, and doing the same with UCLA? Now you are getting crazy. If you want to do that, take Florida even and LSU plus 4 instead of minus 2. Hey, if we really knew would any of us have day jobs? Shall we look ahead to Monday? Are you kidding me?

THE spiral patterns of growth seen in many plants, such as cacti and sunflowers, follow a precise mathematical sequence, but just why they do has always been a mystery. Now the problem has been solved: these patterns minimise the amount of mechanical stress in a growing plant.
The spirals are easy to spot. For example, a cactus head is full of bumps that each sport a pointed tip or "sticker". In some cacti, you can start at the centre and draw spirals connecting each sticker to its nearest neighbour. What you get are three sets of spirals: one with three, another with five; and the third with eight members.
These are consecutive numbers in a mathematical sequence known as the Fibonacci series in which each number is the sum of the previous two. The series reads: 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, and so on.

Employing the disabled : Meeting the challenges
About 1 in 20 people in Mauritius suffers from a disability, as reported in the 2011 Population Census published this week. There were 59,868 individuals disabled compared to 40,790 in the 2000 Population Census, representing an increase of 46.8%. Does the government incur more expenses because of the increasing number of disabled people? To what extent can they contribute to the development of the economy ? News on Sunday reports.

Strategic foresight challenges and opportunities for change
On a recent visit to the country in August 2013 (and previously in 2011 and 2010), I could see the heavy transformation that has been happening over the years. Looking at the visible scale of new urban development, I asked a few questions to ordinary people about perceived opportunities and problems; and what follows are a few reflections on key themes and challenges that could be relevant for the island to move on to its next phase of development. This is a measured attempt to provide food-for-thought to policy-makers, political decision-makers, planners, professional bodies and especially the youth, who represents the future.

(continued from previous page)
Q: Are there any limitations here? Can I use the coupons toward the cost of a digital TV?
The coupons may only be used for converter boxes certified for use by NTIA, and the agency placed a number of restrictions on what features they can employ. For instance, it's acceptable for the boxes to include an electronic program guide feature, equipment necessary for processing software upgrades, antenna inputs and video outputs. They also must meet certain energy efficiency and interference standards.
But the coupons can't be used toward digital TVs themselves or toward more "deluxe" devices that also contain, for instance, DVD-recording or playback capabilities.
Q: Does DTV mean HDTV?
Nope. As federal officials themselves note, digital television comes in many flavors. It can be low-resolution standard definition, or SDTV, or it can be high-resolution, or HDTV, or somewhere in between.
Q: Have any specific models been certified for use with the coupons yet?
Yes. NTIA confirmed that it gave the green light last week to two models produced by a Korea-headquartered company called Digital Stream. In a press release dated Friday, that firm estimated the price for each of those models would be about $70. (A more detailed spec sheet is posted at its Web site.) Several other companies, including LG, Samsung, RCA, Broadcom and Echostar, are reportedly in the process of seeking certification.
NTIA said it plans to include with the coupons it issues a final list of eligible devices, along with retailers near the household's ZIP code that sell some or all of them.
Q: When will the coupon-eligible boxes be available in stores?
The answer to that question remains a little murky. None is on the market yet, but NTIA has said retailers expect to have them by "early next year"--a statement that Best Buy, for one, echoes on its Web site.
Radio Shack vice president of merchandising Larry Harris told attendees at an NTIA public meeting this week that he expects all of the company's approximately 6,000 company-owned and franchise stores to carry coupon-eligible boxes as close to January 1 as they're available. He said the company hopes to begin outfitting its point-of-sale systems to work with the IBM-contracted coupon system within the next 30 days.
Q: What if the coupons run out?
Some consumer groups have argued that Congress should really be making double the number of coupons available to accommodate all of the some 70 million television sets they expect will need the converter boxes. Some Democrats have thrown support behind that idea.
Echoing statements he and other Republicans made earlier this year, Rep. Fred Upton (R-Mich.), the ranking member of a House of Representatives telecommunications panel, said this week that he doubts the coupons will run out. He told NTIA public meeting attendees that about 23 million are expected to be requested, based on the number of consumers who rely on over-the-air television.
If there aren't enough, he added, "I'm sure there will be a bipartisan effort to make sure the funds are there, but I think we'll be OK."
Q: How can I tell whether my TV is currently able to receive digital signals?
Check your owner's manual or the TV set itself for indication that it contains either an integrated HDTV tuner or an Advanced Television Systems Committee (ATSC) tuner, which refers to the American digital-TV standard. If you can't track down the manual in paper form, try searching for your TV's make and model number at the manufacturer's Web site.
A TV designated "HD-ready" or "HDTV monitor," by contrast, does not have a built-in ATSC tuner, which means you must supplement it with a converter box or subscribe to cable or satellite.
The newer your TV is, the greater the chance that it's already primed for the switch. If it's older than a 1998 model, when TV manufacturers first began offering a limited quantity of TVs with integrated digital tuners, it likely needs a converter box. An uptick in the number of TVs equipped with digital tuners began in 2004.
Q: Remind me again--why are we even making this shift?
The U.S. government has actually been attempting to clear off the analog TV spectrum for many years to make the prime airwaves available for public safety responders and for mobile broadband projects. A portion of the vacant spectrum will automatically be set aside for use by emergency broadcasters. The FCC plans in January to start auctioning off the rest to companies, including the likes of Google, eager to take advantage of the spectrum's inherent physical properties, which allow signals to travel farther and penetrate walls.
All told, the auction is expected to generate between $10 billion and $15 billion to offset the government's deficit.
Q: Then who's to say this whole process won't be delayed again?
So far, all we have to go by is the word of Bush administration officials presiding over the plan, and they say they're determined for it to go off without a hitch. "It is critically important for a host of public policy reasons, and that's why it's so important that we get it done," Commerce Department Assistant Secretary John Kneuer told about a hundred people gathered for a digital-television expo (PDF) at the agency's downtown Washington headquarters this week.
Q: What's in this for me as a TV watcher?
Digital television delivers clearer pictures (meaning less-snowy versions of your favorite broadcast TV shows) and sharper sound than its analog counterpart. It also allows broadcasters to do "multicasting" of various channels at the same time--say, weather on one channel, a soap opera on another, and news on a third. According to the National Association of Broadcasters, more than 1,600 television stations already offer digital-broadcasting streams.

- I'm in no hurry
- Since congress says cable operators must support analog tvs until 2012, I'm going to wait until there is enough (good) HD content available to it worth make purchasing a new television.
Five years might be long enough for that to happen.

- well you needn't be...
- Since you're apparently getting your signal from a cable operator, this entire issue doesn't apply to you. Didn't you read the article?
Oh and um... HD content isn't the only reason to get a new TV set... fortunately for you, the converter box will downgrade all future digital signals (HD or otherwise) so you can continue to get the same inferior signal for as long as you can keep that old set running!
But you might want to upgrade that 8 track player in your car now... there has been some decent content released in the time since they quit producing those tapes.

- I'm stuck. Right now everthing just works. My DVR's, My TV's all work with no set top boxes mucking up my remote controls and ability to record a show. When we go digital, I lose the convenience thanks to a lack of government standards on how the signals should be broadcast.
Right now, Analog just works. Digital is propriatary as heck and a PITA.

- Been Ready Since 2000
- I bought my 53" HDTV in fall of 2000. I live in a valley where there is no OTA so there is either the choice of satellite or cable (no IPTV availabe yet). I currently have cable and have done satellite both with HD receivers. And on top of that I have an HD tuner for one computer and a networked HD tuner. I've been ready for some time and ready for more channel to provide actual HD content instead of upverted SD. One thing people never mention about the transition is we're getting rid of that terrible Not The Same Color (NTSC) standard (kludge) which is a big win all the way around.
The technology keeps getting cheaper so this is much ado about nothing. In fact I recently bought a 720p camcorder for only $150.

- What About Analog Cable?
- Your answer to the first question was incomplete. I subscribe to cable, but receive an analog signal which I watch using my "cable ready" television. I don't have a cable box. What does the digital transition do to folks like me?
- Like Reply Link Flag
- Two answers
- Answer 1: It means nothing to you, because the change applies only to over-the-air broadcasts.
Answer 2: Talk to your cable company. Sooner or later, you'll need a box from them, or an upgraded TV. When that happens depends not on this law, but on your cable provider.
It seems likely that once over-the-air broadcasts are all digital, cable companies will initially sell their service as a way to avoid having to buy a converter box. Sooner or later though, cable companies will start pulling support for analog channels (reasoning that you've already upgraded to a digital TV, and if you haven't they still have you as a captive audience). It's to their benefit to drop them, for much the same reasons -- they can offer more channels if they use that analog signal space for digital signals instead.

- You're good to 2012
- The 2009 deadline is for OTA programming. Cable isn't required to change over until 2012.
Most cable systems already have digital to analog converters, so when the OTA change occurs, you won't see anything different since you've probably already been converted, you just didn't realize it.

- Ways to avoid abuse
- In the application form, applicants must enter their TV model, brand, year and size. Sure enough they can make fake information (and when get inspected simply say it was sold). So there must be some sort of agreement to not sell the TV(s) for a period of time (6 months or 1 year at least). At least it can give enough time for inspectors.
My 2 cents.

- What about the antenna?
- OK, just for those poor folks the writer calls the minority who haven't bought a new TV since March and aren't on cable or satellite. Do you have any numbers to support that minority statement?
You've indicated a requirement for a digital tuner but will that work with a current antenna in the attic? Also are the frequencies handed out for digital transmission as good as the one's the government is hijacking?

- Antenna might be OK
- If it has UHF, maybe. Channels 2-7 are moving to UHF (I suppose in some areas where 8-13 are not used, they could go there), so 2-7 move to UHF. So if you don't get a strong signal now, those new UHF channels might not come in since the range is less. Right now nearly all digital TV is UHF, since 8-13 are still analog. We have a cabin 40 miles from the antennas and in a low-lying area, and with a roof UHF antenna and mast mounted booster we can only get the lowest digital UHF channel reliably (17).

- Audio flaws in digital TV
- I don't understand why the audio is often so out of sync with many digital broadcasts and why obviously broadcasters do not seem to care. Maybe we need a FTC regulation to get things right. Compare digital and analog programming on PBS that are broadcast at the same time as standard def and HD. The sync on the standard def is fine and very much off on the HD.

- Audio Flaws in DTV
- I have seen some of this. It sometimes involves station engineers who are having trouble getting the DTV signal proceessing equipment to keep the audio and video on the same time. The audio goes thru faster than the video. Also my television does not have the latest ATSC tuner and the processsor gets hung up dealing with the video while letting the audio thru. By next year TVs with better tuners will be available to correct some of this problem.

- I do not seen any of these devices that receive over the air HDTV signals from an antenna, which is what you would need. What these devices do is allow a standard definition cable or VCR signal to work with an HDTV only television. What you would need with an ordinary TV in 2009 is an HDTV receiver or set top box. This is more of a down converter, rather than an up converter application.

This isn't "big brother" in the slightest way; They aren't watching you, and the converter boxes don't record you nor your habits in any conceivable way.
1)Good. But it is slow, inefficient and like it or not, technology has to advance. When it comes to technological advancement, the greater majority of the public > small minority.
Your statement is the same as saying "writing always worked for me, why use a typewriter?"
2)And getting exponentially cheaper. Much in the same way that the computer/TV you are using was extremely costly 10, 15 years ago.
3)lol wut? How does it kill vcr's? Converter -> VCR on channel 3 or through AV -> TV on Channel 3 or AV. Problem solved.
If you have a newer VCR that schedules recordings, most digital set top boxes can be programmed to switch the channel at specific times during the day.
4)All the government is doing is oversight; the switch itself is managed by individual stations.

You missed the point. Read the book again. It not the one standout fact about the book 1984, whch is the telescreen. The point he was making is that there is controll over information. The fact then the only info you have or can have access to is what you ar allowed. It not that they will be watching, its about them being able to alter facts and info about history, science and other subjects at will. They dictate the events of the past, rather than record them. Try ACTUALLY reading the book, rather than lean on common knowledge of the book. If you have read the book, take a class on comprehension.

everyone else has to bid for a spot in the spectrum?
Furthermore, exactly how does one abuse the vouchers? You
still have to buy a converter for 50-70 dollars. If you think you
end up ahead if you spend 10 dollars to get a 40 dollar discount
on something you don't, then you're an idiot and you deserve to

The only potential fraud is the converter box manufacturers
turning in coupons for fictitious converter sales. But that is

But worse, this is a one-time spectrum auction that will net the government an estimated $15 billion. That sounds like a lot of money.
But Bush will have blown that amount of money in Iraq in the next two months. In other words, by the time the first converter coupons become available. What an abominable waste.

- Well, this is just another example of ur government screwing us. I don't care about what all the "pro digital" folks have said, talking down to people who have complained about this. Just because some of you can afford to buy the newest and best of everything is no reason to talk down to people. Please grow up. More than half of the country lives week to week. And yes, dakotabrown34 thank you. You nailed it right on the head. We SHOULD have a choice in the matter. Any time the government forces something down out throats, we should stop and ask, "what the hell is this all about?" THAT is what made us America, NOT just standing there and taking the abuse we have been.
For those who don't know the facts, the government has been trying to tax TV veiwing since it began and they have not een able to. Why? The nature of the broadcasting signal. With an aerial or rabbit ears, anybody can get the signal free. Well, guess what people? They won.
Now, not only do you have to pay taxes to watch TV, but you have to spend extra to (at the very least) covert to a digital signal. For those of us who ran out and bought a new HDTV, we spent TONS of money and guess what? Without ALSO paying even more for an HDTV receiver, the picture SUCKS! Man, I haven't seen motion blur, pixelation, and color distortion like that since the old days of worn out VHS tapes. So, now I have a 2 grand TV and the picture quality is far worse than my old CRT TV (which had a pretty sharp, clear picture, I might add). So, now, in order to get back to decent viewing I have to spend an extra $40+ for the HDTV package addition.

How do I cope with morning sickness at work?
I've had morning sickness every day since I was six weeks pregnant. On some occasions it's been so bad that I've had to call in sick for work. My boss knows I'm pregnant and claims to understand -- but I suspect he really thinks less of me for calling in sick. What's the best way to deal with this? Should I go to work sick and run to the bathroom every ten minutes, or is my boss in the wrong?

I am 12 weeks pregnant, and I'm at the peak of my morning sickness. The sickness is worse in the morning or any time I'm hungry. What's worked best for me is never letting myself get hungry. I eat small amounts of food constantly, because I don't even realize I'm hungry until I start gagging. Peppermint, ginger, etc. have never helped much for me. In the end, you have to accept that you might vomit at work, so I keep a bottle of water, a couple clean washcloths, and some breath mints in my desk. That way, when I can't stop myself from throwing up, I can at least clean up and feel more like myself quickly. Oh, and I keep a trash can with extra liners near my desk, too. That way I can dispose of the evidence quickly and neatly.posted 12/17/2007 by mamanomnom
carbohydrates!! You have to be really tough to keep them down, but once you do, you'll feel better for hours. Also I have to keep my tummy full no matter what. Even if I don't feel like eating, I do. The second I start to feel nauseated again, I eat something full of carbs and I feel better. Also sipping on ginger ale (with real ginger) really helps settling my tummy. Good luck my dear!posted 12/05/2007 by Elyseholly
I found that drinking ginger tea, made me feel a lot better. I ended up liking it so much I drank it all the time.This is my 4th baby but I haven't been sick yet. But I have ginger tea ready :Dposted 11/03/2007 by lovemy4angels
First thing is that your boss is thinking like a busness man that needs you there. At the same time you cannot function properly in the state that you are in. The thing that you should look into is pregnancy acupressure. There is a downloadable book that I found when I went through the same thing during my last pregnancy. Its at http://www.MaternityAcupressure.com. It is a easy to follow guide that tells you what you need to know to function properly. It also tells you things that you need to avoid.posted 10/27/2007 by pixie27105
I am 6 weeks pregnant and just starting morning sickness a friend told me to try a 8 oz of warm water and half a lemon her doctor recommened it and drink in the morning and night if your morning sickness last a lot longer take a water bottle with you all day filled with warm water and half a lemon it really helps a lot to keep things calm and in your system posted by jennposted 10/15/2007 by mandie1525
Hi! I am 6 weeks pregnant, and have read all of the postings on here and I have to be honest with all of you. Nothing helps! :-( Sorry to say it, but it's true. Every suggestion anyone has to make the nausea go away, I try that very same day. The reality is though, that everything suggested is meant to "tune down" the nauseousness, but not make it go away. Everything everyone mentioned works to some extent, but it mostly just gives you a little extra time before the inevitable vommiting returns.posted 10/11/2007 by a BabyCenter Member

Find out what you need to do to stay safe during all types of weather.
2013 Year in Review
Q: Storms don?t roll through town on a 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. schedule. When can we expect your meteorologists to be on duty?
A: A majority of severe storms occur between 3 p.m. and 9 p.m. For a television meteorologist, that?s part of the normal working day. Here on the High Plains, we also experience late-night thunder as storms roll in off the Rocky Mountains. We pledge to have someone on duty 24-hours a day, seven days per week, when severe storms threaten our area.
Q: Why do your bulletins always have to air during our favorite programs?
A: Storms don?t know when the best shows are on television. A severe storm rolling across the Plains could care less if our stations are running ?American Idol,? ?The Office,? or color bars. Unfortunately, the majority of severe weather happens when television stations have their most viewers. It gives the appearance that we?re always cutting into someone?s favorite program. That?s why we pledge to interrupt programming only when it is absolutely necessary to protect life and property.
Q: I understand why you have to cut-in, but do I have to miss all of my favorite program because of the weather?
A: Not always! Every time a severe weather outbreak is expected, we look at the programming on all three of our stations (KAMR, KCIT, and KCPN). We decide which station has the most popular programming that night and put that station in a ?delay? mode. That means if we have to interrupt programming on that station we will resume that station?s programming exactly where it left off. We have the capability to do this for one station at a time. This is a pledge that no other station in the Amarillo area has taken.
Q: Why does it seem like you sometimes stay on the air for a long time, repeating the same thing over and over?
A: The simple answer is that every tornado must be t

Threshold reduced for smaller locals to send delegate to Representative Assembly
MEA delegates passed an amendment to the MEA bylaws Saturday that will allow local associations to send one delegate to the Representative Assembly if they have at least 56 members.
Locals had previously been required to have at least 76 members to seat a delegate.
Farwell Education Association President John Pakledinaz of Region 12 proposed the successful amendment, saying it will provide "locals of all sizes a voice on the future of our organization."

I'm going a little retro here with this review, and there's a great reason other than the fact that this is a crazy, cool book. First I need to back up a bit to the Friday before spring break.
My classes were three months in to the independent reading addition to our curriculum, and one student in particular was just devouring YA books. Many times I book talked a title I was reading, this particular student would show up in class with the same book. Turns out we had very similar YA tastes.
On the Friday before spring break, this student came up to me at the end of class and said, "Mrs. P, this is my all-time favorite book. I know you are busy reading lots of other things right now, but I just wanted to share this with you."
Ok. I didn't do a happy dance right in front of her. I thanked her, told her I was in the middle of two other books plus grad class but that her book was next. But inside, I was dancing up a storm because I knew this would go down as one of the highlights of my teaching career.
The students I teach are so over extended and so used to being told what to read (by people like me) that they've forgotten that joy can be a product of reading. Thanks to innovators in my English department (that's you, Gary and Russ) who are paving the way for independent reading in the classroom as well as outside educators like Kelly Gallagher (Readicide) and Donalyn Miller (The Book Whisperer), I have seen the light. By offering my students time AND choice, I'm starting to see a resurgence of joy and reading occurring simultaneously. My student sharing her favorite book with me is all the data I need as proof that I'm on to something good.
Ok. Ok. I didn't forget about Mr. Was, Pete Hautman's first YA novel. I'll give you just a taste. You'll have to read it for more!
The book starts out like realistic fiction. Jack Lund, teen, has an alcoholic father who is verbally and physically abusive. Jack's mom won't leave him. After Jack's dad cleans up his act only to fall off the wagon again, Jack's mom finally decides that enough is enough. Then some terrible things happen, and THEN…there is time travel. What? That's right. Time travel. When I finished the book and brought it back to my student, our conversation went as follows:
Me: That was insane!
Student: I know, right?
Me: But he spoiler spoiler spoiler spoiler!
Student: I know!
Me: And he spoiler spoiler spoiler spoiler!
Student: I know!
I probably would not have picked up Hautman's book on my own for the sole reason that there is so much out there to read in YA that I've been devouring newer, more current releases. Thanks to this student, I'm reminded that there are even more exciting reads out there that may not have any running publicity campaigns, but on offering to share in my student's favorite book (and the chance to have a conversation like the one above) is all the publicity I need.

Preview of the New Adidas Headguard for 09/10 Season
Adidas has launched its new headguard for the 09/10 series. The Headguard currently worn by International stars Danny Cipriani of Wasps and England and Pierre Spies of the Blue Bulls and South Africa and soon to be British Irish Lion Leigh Halfpenny of the Cardiff Blues and Wales.
Other top players waering the Adidas Headguard are Ali Williams of the Auckland Blues and All Blacks, Andrew Hore of Wellington Hurricanes and All Blacks and Ben Kay of Leicester Tigers, England and British and Irish Lions.
The Headguard will retail at £30 which we think is an unbelievable price for a quality headguard which will now challenge Canterbury's and Kooga's. The headguard feaures pro ventilation to prevent overheating and maximum protection for contact. The headguard has taken a year to develop with the players, hence they are all happy to switich from prevous headguards into it.
The headguard will be with us towards end of July, ready for season ahead. We here at Lovell Rugby are sure it will be a success.
