Luanda — The secretary of State for Family and Women Promotion, Ana Paula Sacramento, will defend soon in Geneva (Switzerland) the position of the Angolan State on human rights in the country.
This will be during a session of the United Nation's Committee tasked with assessing the observation of the Convention on Elimination of all Forms of Discrimination against Women (CEDAW).
A source from the Ministry of Family and Women Promotion told Angop that the position of the Angolan State is expressed in a periodical report that will be defended before the UN specialised organ.
The official said this is a normal, regular and periodical procedure that the said UN Committee exercises, taking into account the effective accomplishment of the recommendations made by the UN specialised commission.
The topics Angola will defend at the meeting include the country's constitutional, legislative and institutional framework and matters concerning the pending legal reform that has to do with the elimination of discriminatory laws.
Other matters that will be looked into have to do with the visibility of the Convention, the national mechanism for women promotion, elimination of stereotypes and damaging practices.
The list includes violence against women, trafficking and exploitation of prostitution, participation in decision-making and representation in world forums, marriage, family relations and others.
According to the source, the report that Angola will defend before the Committee includes an information and statistic data on the 2006-2010 period and relevant aspects relating to the conquests and progresses made in subsequent years.
"This exercice shows the political will and engagement of the State in the task of honouring the commitments taken toward he promotion and defence of the rights of women as a subject of rights," the source added.
The secretary of State for Family and Women Promotion will travel to Geneva on February 16 this year, at the head of a delegation.

Got bees? Here's who to call for help.

A swarm of honey bees moved into one of my kestrel boxes today. I've heard their numbers are down. Should I contact someone to come and get them, since they are nicely contained?
Marina Chainey, Richmond, California

Good idea. Here's a link to the Mount Diablo Beekeepers Association (http://www.diablobees.org). When you go to this website, look on the left side of the screen and click on "Honey bee removals." It will take you to another page where you can find names of their volunteer members who will come get the bees and put them in a proper bee hive, instead of a kestrel nest box. There's usually a $50 donation charge. It's for a good cause. /Gary

The number one killer in America today is a disease that can often be prevented.
According to the American Heart Association, heart disease is the nation's single leading cause of death for both men and women. At least 58.8 million people in this country suffer from some form of heart disease.
And on the whole, cardiovascular diseases (the combination of heart disease and stroke) kill some 950,000 Americans every year.
But the good news is that measures can be taken to prevent heart disease. Studies show that nearly everyone can become more heart healthy by following a few key steps, such as eating a healthy diet, exercising, quitting smoking, and maintaining a healthy body weight.
Still, there are many misconceptions about heart disease: "The biggest misconception is that heart disease only happens to the elderly," said Elizabeth Schilling, CRNP with the Center for Preventive Cardiology Program at the University of Maryland Medical Center.
In fact, according to the American Heart Association, almost 150,00 Americans killed by cardiovascular disease each year are under the age of 65. And one out of every 20 people below the age of 40 has heart disease.
Heart disease is any disorder that affects the heart's ability to function normally. The most common type of heart disease is coronary artery disease, which is the narrowing or blockage of the coronary arteries. Some people are born with abnormalities (congenital heart disease). Various forms of heart disease include:
There are many risk factors for heart disease; some are inherited, but others are quite controllable.
Uncontrollable risk factors include:
Controllable risk factors:
"We know the risk factors that appear to promote heart disease," said Michael Miller, M.D., director of the Center for Preventive Cardiology at the University of Maryland Medical Center and an associate professor of medicine at the University of Maryland School of Medicine. "The factors, such as high blood pressure, high cholesterol, family history, cigarette smoking, diabetes -- those have been pretty well established. But some risk factors are congenital, meaning that people are born with them. Congenital risks would include people who have problems with their heart valves, and people who inherit genetic problems that promote hardening of the arteries."
Most people are usually concerned about their total cholesterol levels, and their amount of LDL (the "bad cholesterol"). But in reality says Dr. Miller; low HDL levels are also closely linked to coronary heart disease. According to his recent article in the Cleveland Clinic Journal of Medicine, a low level of the "good cholesterol" (HDL-C) is the most common lipoprotein abnormality in people with coronary heart disease. These low levels best predict the risk of heart disease, even when the total cholesterol is within the normal range.
The National Cholesterol Education Program defines an HDL reading below 40 as an independent risk factor for heart disease.
Lifestyle measures for raising your HDL levels include weight loss, drug therapies, and omega-3 (fish oil) supplementation. In addition, moderate daily alcohol consumption (about 1 to 2 oz a day) can raise HDL levels by 5 to 10 percent
While there are no magic dietary bullets that raise HDL levels, Miller cautions that merely replacing fat with carbohydrates without reducing caloric intake can cause good cholesterol levels to fall by as much as 20 percent
He also favors using monounsaturated fats, such as olive oil and canola oil, in exchange for either saturated fats or carbohydrates. Monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats, help lower blood cholesterol when used in place of saturated fats.
But even more important than diet and weight loss is regular aerobic exercise.
As Miller stated in his article, "aerobic exercise is perhaps the most important lifestyle intervention for raising a low HDL level." Miller says the benefit is "dose related"--the more aerobic exercise you do, (such as running, brisk walking, swimming or cycling) the higher the good cholesterol will be. And the duration of the exercise rather than the intensity appears to have the biggest influence. Good cholesterol rises about a milligram for every four or five miles run/ covered each week.
Lifestyle changes such as losing weight, lowering cholesterol and quitting smoking reduce certain risk factors. But did you know that drinking tea and laughing might also be beneficial?
Maryland Heart Center physicians are studying some of these preventive measures.
"Our research revolves around trying to attain a greater understanding as to how important those positive influences are in reducing heart attack event rates," stated Miller.
He says that two of the most protective factors against heart disease are high levels of HDL (good cholesterol) and also factors that may reduce stress, such as laughter.
In fact, a recent study by cardiologists at the University of Maryland Medical Center found that laughter, along with an active sense of humor, may help protect against a heart attack. The study, which was the first to indicate that laughter may help prevent heart disease, found that people with heart disease were 40 percent less likely to laugh in a variety of situations compared to people of the same age without heart disease.
So why do stress reduction techniques -- laughter in particular-- reduce the risk of heart disease? To answer that, it helps to know how mental stress can potentially damage your heart.
"When you're under a lot of stress there are chemicals that are released that cause blood pressure and the heart rate to go up, cause platelets to clump together and all of those set up a series of reactions that could enhance the process of plaque formation and development," said Miller. "So people that appear to be under lots of stress all the time are at increased risk [for heart disease] even if they dont have a family history of heart disease or if they don't have diabetes."
Conversely, reducing stress, with laughter in particular, can have the opposite effect.
"We think laughter is an active process and may have a direct impact on improving the lining of the blood vessels," explained Miller. Reducing stress also benefits the heart by lowering the blood pressure, and heart rate.
"The ability to laugh may have important implications in societies such as the U.S. where heart disease remains the number one killer," Miller said. "We know that exercising, not smoking and eating foods low in saturated fat, will reduce the risk of heart disease. Perhaps regular, hearty laughter should be added to the list."
Other stress reduction methods can also help.
"Limiting stress in ways that are accomplishable, that dont take up a lot of time and are easy to do would help to facilitate the process of stress reduction," said Miller. He says that any of stress-reducing methods, including yoga and meditation, may be "quite helpful in reducing the risk of coronary events."
In addition to laughter, drinking tea and eating antioxidant foods can also protect you against heart disease.
In fact, cardiologists at the University of Maryland Medical Center have concluded that drinking black or green tea (which contain antioxidants) may help reduce a potentially harmful constriction of blood vessels after a high-fat meal. Their study adds to a growing body of research that suggests antioxidant-rich foods (such as vegetables and fruits) and beverages may help to prevent heart disease.
"We're talking about foods that contain anti-oxidants such as fruits and vegetables like tomatoes, which contain lycopene or broccoli that contain other protective antioxidants," noted Miller. "Vegetables and fruits have natural antioxidants which are probably going to be more protective than supplements."
If you're going to drink tea, you might want to skip the milk. A recent article cited new research which has found that adding milk to tea negates the health benefits. The study findings were published in the January 9th, 2007 online edition of the European Heart Journal. Dr. Robert Vogel, a University of Maryland Medical Center cardiologist and professor of medicine at the University of Maryland Medical School who was quoted in the article, advises his patients not to have milk in tea. See the article here.
One of the keys to preventing heart disease is getting risk factors under control, such as high blood pressure and high cholesterol levels. Main prevention tips to follow:
The bottom line for prevention, says Schilling, is to follow a heart-healthy lifestyle.
"Maintain an ideal body weight, and exercise one hour a day, seven days a week," advises Schilling. As part of a heart healthy diet, she recommends following a balanced diet with approximately 30 percent of calories from monounsaturated fats such as olive oil, canola, fish and nuts and limit saturated fats.
Also limit carbohydrates, sugar or any sugar food including white flour.
Screening is also an important way to prevent heart trouble. "The earlier you start screening and treating it, the more disease you can prevent," said Shilling.
That means getting your blood pressure and cholesterol checked at the appropriate times.
Shilling says adults 25 and older should have their cholesterol screened and should also be screened for diabetes starting in the 20's. High blood pressure checks should also start in the 20's.
The Center for Preventive Cardiology evaluates patients not only for the presence of heart disease, but also for all cardiovascular diseases.
"Our goals are to evaluate for all areas that someone could possibly have a blockage," said Schilling. "We do screening for the total body risk-- not just the heart, but for all cardiovascular diseases, including blockages and clotting of the heart, legs, and kidneys. When we see patients for cardiac disease we want to look at the whole body, look at the entire scope of the vascular system."
This would include screenings of the carotid arteries, coronary arteries, testing for PAD/PVD, and renal artery stenosis.
The Center will offer non-invasive methods of detecting hardening of the arteries, biochemical tests, and other state-of-the-art tests.
"We are going to be among the first in the country to offer a genetic screening in combination with non-invasive tests to try to identify individuals who may be at increased risk for early coronary disease," said Miller. In addition, patients will also have the opportunity to enroll in some of the Maryland Heart Center's new clinical trials.
After screening patients, Heart Center physicians and staff work specifically on modifying the risk factors in order to prevent the onset or progression of cardiovascular disease.
"We are offering an extremely aggressive risk factor modification program with intensive follow up," said Shilling. "We make sure you get to goal, whether it's with lifestyle modification, medications as appropriate, exercise therapies or diet."
This is accomplished with a combination of individual and group therapies such as diet, food preparation, weight control and smoking cessation classes.
"We are trying to establish a wellness center where we'll be able to have a one-stop shopping for patients coming in with heart disease, diabetes or high blood pressure," said Miller. "Patients will have the opportunity to see experts in each of these areas. We are trying to coordinate a program that's tailored for individuals that are affected by any of these disorders."

The "600 cc Sport bike" and "New rider" really stick out. Nothing you can do about being new except practice. All 600cc bikes are not created equally either, so some of this is best guess for you.
Slow down for the road conditions. There are new things to watch for in the wet. Center of the lane has been talked about and despite some beliefs around here is a poor choice on dry conditions as well. Watch for "rainbow" effects. That is oil, fuel or something equally as slick. Watch out for the beginning of a rain event too, it will float all the oils and junk off the road. Asphalt age can make a lot of difference, and concrete, brick(stay off this if possible), gravel and everything else have different traction qualities. IMHO concret is best, but YMMV.
Speed is relative, I have put thousands of miles on the highway at full speed limits, but they were wide open with limited traffic. The main thing is DO NOT do anything fast. Take offs, braking, maneuvering. Plan farther ahead than normal and keep your game on high alert. This is one of the worst time in your life to get laxed.
Maintain your ride. Good rubber is a must on 2 wheels. All tires aren't created equal either, so do your homework when you buy. Knowing your brakes and how they react is a must. Well,,,,,,,, just take care of your ride no matter what.
Do you have ABS? I don't want to start the whole pro/con thing, and I am not much of a fan. Not because they aren't a good thing, but too many people think practice isn't needed to stay alive. ABS aren't made to stop you "faster" although they will in some conditions, they are made to keep you in control. SO, that said, practice hard braking wet and dry.
Gear. You gotta be comfortable and warm. Wet will chill you to a dangerous level in a hurry on a motorcycle. I ride a tour bike and usually have no problems and really don't get that wet, but I also have good rain gear with me 365 days a year. Your choice and you have to decide what works for you.
Good luck, Don't fear the rain. Stay off the throttle hard. Stay off the brakes hard. BTW, no finger pointing, but,just because you don't think it is too agressive doesn't mean it isn't. Food for thought.
Smooth, alert and well maintained will get you far in your motorcycle life.

The Cabinet Office announced that Dundee University would receive a professorship in the life sciences from the Queen to recognise its excellence in research and teaching.
Regius professorships are traditionally created when a university chair is founded or endowed by a royal patron. They come with no extra funding, but enable universities give the title to an existing professor or appoint a new one.
Professor Pete Downes, principal of Dundee University, welcomed the award as an "affirmation" of the institution's world-class standing in life sciences.
And he announced that the first Regius Professor in Life Sciences at Dundee would be Professor Mike Ferguson, the Dean of Research in the College of Life Sciences.
"We also have a strong cohort of dynamic young scientists and rising stars in their fields, who will help carry the excellence of Life Sciences at Dundee into the future," he added.
Mr Ferguson, who is a world expert on the biochemistry of parasites that cause human tropical diseases, said: "This is a great accolade for Life Sciences at Dundee – to all those who have built it up to what it is today and to those who will sustain it in the future."
Before this award, only two Regius professorships were awarded in the past century, both at the University of Cambridge.

A new benchmark for monoenergetic neutron transport in one-dimensional cylindrical geometry is presented. In the past, several accurate benchmarks (i.e., numerical solutions) in cylindrical geometry, based on the singular eigenfunction expansion of the solution to the corresponding pseudoproblem, have appeared in the literature. In the new formulation, called the direct FN method in cylindrical geometry, we base the FN solution directly on the integro-differential equation satisfied by the pseudoproblem. Through appropriate projections, a straightforward FN formulation results in singular integral equations for both the flux and current. Enhanced by convergence acceleration, the FN approximation accurately reproduces published benchmark solutions for both fixed sources and criticality. Thus, we have developed an entirely pedagogical self-contained and highly accurate benchmark based on an alternative application of FN theory.

Baseball Pick: New York Yankees @ Detroit Tigers Game 4
- Updated: October 4, 2011
Is it about to be lights out for the New York Yankees? It's not often that you see all of the teams in the AL East out of the playoffs this early, but there's a real chance that Tuesday could be the last day that either one is left standing. The Yanks have their work cut out for them in primetime at Comerica Park, where the Detroit Tigers will hope to end their season.
The fans in the Big Apple have to be feeling gloom and doom right now. There was no way that anyone wanted to go into a situation in Game 4 where the Yanks absolutely had to win, and now, that has become a reality. With a shoddy starting pitching situation, there really is little choice but to hand the ball over to AJ Burnett on Tuesday night. Burnett has been a disgrace all season long, going just 11-11 with a 5.15 ERA. Many in New York want to see Burnett simply released after he got his big contract a few years ago, and there certainly wasn't anyone that wanted to see him as the starter in any do or die situation. Manager Joe Girardi has already said that Burnett's leash is short in this one, and that could mean extra innings for Phil Hughes, who seems to be the best realistic long option out of the bullpen. You know that the combo of David Robertson, Rafael Soriano, and Mariano Rivera could probably eat five innings as well with the off day tomorrow, especially since none of the three have been used all that much in this one.
If you're the Tigers, you have to feel great right now. You know that you have the edge in the pitching matchup in this one, and you know that even if you're forced into a Game 5, that Doug Fister pitched well enough to get the job done until imploding late in Game 1. For now though, it'll be up to Rick Porcello to try to finish off this series. Porcello wasn't phenomenal this year, but for a fourth starting pitcher, he is quite serviceable. The righty went 14-9, and the team went a whopping 21-10 in his 31 starts on the campaign. Yes, a 1.41 WHIP and a 4.75 ERA are both high, but when you've got an offense that was good for 5.7 runs per game for you on the campaign, good things tend to happen to you. Porcello has already won this pitching matchup once this season, as he beat Burnett and the Yankees 6-3 right here at Comerica Park in May, and he'll be hoping for a repeat performance.
New York Yankees @ Detroit Tigers Game 4 Pick: Sorry Yanks fans. Your team is finished. The Bronx Bombers aren't going to produce enough offense in this one to get away with the lousy pitching display that will inevitably be on. Don't be shocked if this one ends in a romp and crushes what was a solid season in just three short days.
MLB Pick: Detroit Tigers -115 at Bookmaker Sportsbook.

News of Riverton, Lander and Fremont County, Wyoming, from the Ranger's award winning journalists.
Reservation trash station collected $700 in fees; officials say it's 'filthy'
Mar 6, 2013 - By Christina George, Staff Writer
Fremont County Solid Waste Disposal District superintendent Andy Frey said a little more than $700 in revenue was collected in January from non-enrolled members who discarded trash at transfer stations on the Wind River Indian Reservation.
January was the first full month since the waste disposal district and the Northern Arapaho and Eastern Shoshone tribes agreed in December to a six-month contract for waste collection on the reservation.
Under the agreement, the tribes pay staff to operate their transfer stations, collect fees from users, and the district hauls the waste to the county's landfills at the county's expense.
The agreement also stipulates a waiver of tipping fees for enrolled tribal members who discard waste at one of the four transfer stations on the reservation.
Frey shared the revenue figure with the district's board of directors at its Feb. 18 meeting after board members Jerry Crews and Rich Klaproth described a recent visit to some of the reservation sites.
The two voiced positives and negatives they observed, including a variation of how helpful and knowledgeable employees were at each site. Crews and Klaproth said the fenced-in areas at the sites were clean, but conditions varied outside the fences.
The two said the Fort Washakie site was in poor shape.
"It was filthy," Crews said. "Crap everywhere."
The two said there was quite a bit of trash around the Ethete transfer station but not as much as what they saw at Fort Washakie.
They said the transfer station on 17 Mile Road was spotless.
Frey said the Wind River Environmental Quality Commission continues to work on public education and staff training.
He said representatives from the district and reservation continue to meet and discuss the situation. He pointed out that tribal officials are aware of both successes and areas of improvement with each site.
Frey said one of the reasons Crews and Klaproth encountered employees with varying knowledge of operations is because there is a high employee turnover rate. He said some staff have quit, others have walked off. He added those who are still on the job continue to learn about the functions of the sites.
"It seems that they are getting a pretty good understanding with all the issues with running a site," Frey told the board.
Frey said later that a special committee comprised of district board members and tribal officials continues to meet at least once a month to discuss the ongoing work.

Grey's Anatomy
Spoiler: No Dancing in the Grey's Anatomy Musical Episode
Kevin McKidd dished that the cast of Grey's Anatomy had quite a few challenges with the musical episode (the least of which, thankfully, was the singing). But did the cast really learn choreography for the ep? Because that leads us to believe that the entire cast is lying when they keep insisting it's no Glee song-and-dance musical. Relax, fans, and allow McKidd's fine Scottish brogue to allay your fears.
He says the episode is a "very experimental" Grey's Anatomy, he admits, "It's going to be really hard work because we all have to learn the medical, all the jargons, and be able to sing. With the music we have to choreograph it like we're doing a musical number even though there is no dancing. I think it will be [great]."
Alright, Kevin, we're trusting you. Don't betray us with those baby blues...

I also recommend the PREGNANCY MIRACLE GUIDE for information on ovulation pain and fertility!
You may have noticed having a pain on one side of your abdomen right around the time you ovulate. This pain is called ovulation pain. If you are alert to changes in your body, you may also notice other signs of ovulation taking place, such as an increase in cervical mucous, bloating, or tender breasts. The medical term for ovulation pain is mittelschmerz, a German word meaning "middle pain". Not everyone notices or has pain during ovulation. Only about 1 in 5 women experience mittelschmerz and in most cases it can be relieved with an over the counter medication like Tylenol.
Some women describe ovulation pain as a pinching feeling and others describe it as feeling similar to menstrual cramps. The pain is generally on one side of the lower abdomen, right around your hip bone. During a typical menstrual cycle, a woman will release one egg from one of her ovaries. When the egg is released during ovulation it ruptures through a tiny follicle. This rupturing can cause pain and sometimes even mild spotting or bleeding, known as ovulation spotting. If you are keeping track of your cycles, you may notice that you feel ovulation pain on a different side each month. Most women do not ovulate from the same ovary every month so you may feel ovulation pain on one side one month and the other side the next month. But, it is also possible to feel ovulation pain on the same side for a few months in a row.
When a woman ovulates, the egg bursts through a follicle inside her ovary and is moved through the fallopian tube towards the uterus. During ovulation, the fallopian tube contracts rhythmically. These contractions help to push the egg through the fallopian tube and towards the uterus. The pain you feel during ovulation is most likely a result of the egg bursting through the follicle. Following that, you may notice some mild cramping as the fallopian tube contracts and moves the egg through the fallopian tube. You may notice a pinching pain first – probably from the follicle bursting – and then dull cramping. Some women only notice the cramping feeling and others feel both types of ovulation pain. It can last for a few hours or a few days.
For most women ovulation pain is not severe and usually disappears within a day or so after ovulating. If you are having severe abdominal pain, you may be experiencing something other than ovulation pain. There are some conditions that could be confused with ovulation pain such as ovarian cysts, appendicitis, or endometriosis. If you are having severe abdominal pain that is not typical for you or does not go away after a few days, you should consult your doctor.
If you are having discomfort from ovulation pain, there are several things you can try to help relieve the pain.

THE taps and swipes we use to control our gadgets don't have to be applied by our fingers: our tongues can do it too.
A team at Osaka Prefecture University in Japan has developed a device that senses tongue pressure through the cheek. Once installed in a helmet, it could allow motorcyclists and skiers to control their personal technology. "The tongue is a well-developed muscle capable of fine-grain movements – so we thought it should be good for control interactions," says team-member Kai Kunze.
The team strapped a pad with 64 pressure-sensing elements to the cheeks of six volunteers to mimic a sensor installed in a helmet. They asked them to try five tongue gestures: swipe up, swipe down, swipe left, swipe right and a pushy "click". In 300 attempts, recognition accuracy was 98 per cent, they told the Augmented Human conference in Kobe, Japan, last month.
"My personal motivation here was skiing," says Kunze. "I like to check factors like my speed while on the slope, yet it's quite cumbersome to take out a smartphone and use a touchscreen in the cold." He is now working on putting the sensor in the face masks worn to keep out flu, so people can control phones without touching them.

Manchester United midfielder Tom Cleverley suffered ligament damage in his foot, but no break, following a tackle by Kevin Davies during Saturday's 5-0 win at Bolton, his club have said.
United expect the England Under-21 midfielder to be out for four weeks which is an improvement on the initial forecast when they feared a fracture would have meant he was unable to play for months.
The 22-year-old will miss England's Euro 2012 qualifier against Montenegro next month but should be available for November's matches, when national team manager Capello has pencilled him in to make his debut.

I was too young to think for myself when I was baptized into the Catholic Church and I wasn't asked for my opinion either. Now I despise this ignominious organization and I want out. Unfortunately the Church doesn't let anybody leave voluntarily.
In their infinite arrogance they say that when you are baptized into the Church your soul is "marked" for eternity. The only way to get out is apparently to get excommunicated. But what the heck does one have to do to get excommunicated when apparently even child rape doesn't do it? I shudder at the thought…
Some of my friends ask: why bother? Well, it is a matter of principle. I do not want to be counted as one of the "sheep" of a flock tended by hypocritical men in robes. I do not want my name to be on the registry of this repressive cult. I do not want to be tacitly associated with the Church-sponsored genocide in Africa. I want my protest against the current Pope and his decades long protection of child-rapists to be heard loud and clear.
I've been looking into how to do this and here is some of what I found:
Understand that there is no secular legal method for leaving the catholic church, but within the Catholic church a person can be forced out, usually by acting in a way that is contrary to church belief or goes against the code of canon law. Excommunication is the formal way the Catholic church punishes a member. The member is excluded from church worship services and can't receive the sacraments.
Also found this article on WikiAnswers:
How do you get kicked out of the Catholic Church?
Being "kicked out" of the Catholic Church is impossible. Once you are baptized you become Catholic and one of the effects of baptism is to place an eternal mark on the soul that forever identifies that soul as a member of Christ's Church, whether in heaven or hell. You can, however, become a "dead member" of the Church. To become a dead member is fairly simple, you can sin and remain unrepentant, thereby depriving yourself of the sacraments by joining another religion or practicing nothing at all, or you can commit an act that will incur excommunication, in which case, the Church Itself will no longer make the sacraments available to you.
The Church, due to spiritual, political or disciplinary circumstances, can pronounce a sentence of excommunication on someone that has shown severe disregard for God, His laws, His Church or Its members. There are certain sins or transgressions considered so heinous, however, that the sinner can incur an automatic excommunication, without the Church having to review and declare it. An automatic excommunication is attached to those sins that are so heinous the soul must have premeditated the deed and maliciously decided to go through with it despite the blatant obviousness of its evil. Automatic excommunication is incurred by heresy, schism (usurping legitimate Church authority), apostasy (denouncing the Faith by a member of the Faith), desecration of the Blessed Sacrament, violence against the person of the pope, involvement in an abortion, ordaining bishops without a papal mandate, absolution of a illicit sexual partner (for priests only, trying to cover their tracks), breaking the seal of confession or being a participant in any of the above. Someone who incurs an automatic excommunication must reveal their sin to a confessor who may require them to confess to a bishop, as some sins are so serious they must be put to a bishop first.
Interesting tidbit, they list: "desecration of the Blessed Sacrament" as worthy of excommunication. Does that mean that if I were to take a communion wafer and spit and step on it I would be excommunicated? Is this really worst in the Church's eyes than child rape? However, according to this, the only result of excommunication is that you can no longer receive the "sacrament", they probably still wouldn't take my name off their books…
Seems like a lost cause, my "soul" is really doomed to be associated forever with the cult that steals from the poor and lives in a $150B gold palace.

Hopefully this topic doesn't fly south like my last one did.
Do any of you have a favorite Windows 8 or (Windows 8.1) feature? One of my favorite features is the new Win + Prt Scrn keyboard shortcut that captures an image of your screen and saves it to your Pictures Library. I do wish for a shortcut that only takes a screenshot of an active application window, though.
The Ribbon interface in Explorer is something that I wish Windows 7 offered as an optional feature.
I do like the ability to snap Metro applications; while this is, to my knowledge, unique for a tablet interface, an identical feature has existed since Windows 1.0.
I am also very fond of the new notifications, particularly the toasts. My only regret is that Windows 8 lacks a notification archive (such a feature was planned for "Longhorn").

One of the major mechanical components of your Audi is the steering system because it controls the movement of your vehicle. It involves the working of many other components like steering wheel, steering shaft, steering rack and gearbox. Depending upon the model of your car, the steering system differs. It can either be a manual or power steering system. Compared to manual steering, a power steering system minimizes the driver's effort while driving. The design of the steering rack differs in power steering.
In power steering system, the hydraulic fluid and the inner valve play a major role in the movement of the car wheels. If you find any problems with your Audi power steering rack, then you have to replace it with quality parts as soon as possible.

Double-sided Leaf from a Chandana Malayaqiri Varta series
Whereas most manuscript paintings made in Rajasthan in the eighteenth century were commissioned by Hindu rulers, this painting was made for a practitioner of the Jain religion, probably a wealthy merchant. The image illustrates a Jain text (though the precise subject is difficult to identify) and includes a small shrine with an icon of a Jain savior, known as a Jina or Tirthankara, on the right. The icon sits cross-legged in a meditative posture, and the temple has two white towers of the classic North Indian form. In a nice detail, a small pool in front of the temple reflects the surrounding architecture.

Alumni Weekend 2013 Recap
More than 500 School of Medicine alumni and their guests came back to the Medical Campus on May 3-4 to attend the School's annual Alumni Weekend, some for the first time in more than 50 years.
After a campus welcome and Grand Rounds, alumni listened to a group of faculty members and medical students who discussed new instructional technology and its impact on the experience of medical students at BUSM today.
"Sometimes when alumni come back to the medical school for the first time and learn that students don't use microscopes anymore, they stare in disbelief," said Jean Ramsey, MD, associate dean for alumni affairs, who hosted the presentation. "It can't be a medical school without microscopes, they say."
Deborah Vaughan, PhD, professor of anatomy and neurobiology and assistant dean for admissions, shared how BUSM is using technology that is changing the way students learn today. "It is often said that technology isolates students, and what we are doing here at the medical school is making sure that we take advantage of the technology to help the students work in teams," said Vaughan, this year's winner of the Metcalf Cup and Prize for Excellence in Teaching.
Vaughan demonstrated how students and faculty use the online learning management system, Blackboard, to share educational resources online. Laptops are used during class, to take exams, and in place of microscopes in the lab. Lectures are recorded and presented online for students who miss class or can be used as a resource to clarify material. She highlighted technological tools for clinical training including robotic teachers, affectionately called SimMan and friends. These patient simulators are programmed for a variety of situations including emergency care for students to practice their clinical skills.
"I was very unprepared when I got here because everyone had told me that I was going to spend every second of my life studying," said Mauro Caffarelli, a second-year student at BUSM. "That turned out to be very inaccurate. The way we learn here is tremendously efficient."
Doug Hughes, MD, associate dean for academic affairs, also explained plans to expand the medical school curriculum to a global platform by implementing a third- year pediatric clerkship option for BUSM students in the U.S. Virgin Islands, which began this June.
"In addition, we have been chosen by the AAMC (Association of American Medical Colleges) to pilot a new global program, the Global Health Learning Opportunity," said Hughes. "This program will help facilitate our fourth-year students doing electives globally and will allow fourth-year medical students from other countries to do electives more easily at BUSM. Our students can choose from 15 international medical schools in their fourth year, and we will be bringing international students to our campus each year. The goal is to create a diverse, rich, global experience for our students both in travel and also on campus."
In addition to reunion dinners, the annual meeting and banquet of the Alumni Association, BUSM alumni attended a presentation on the extraordinary history of the medical school. Tours of the medical campus highlighted the new classrooms, expanded research facilities, the Alumni Medical Library and the new Medical Student Residence. The weekend ended in a night of dinner, dancing, and award presentations, recognizing Robert Golden, '79, and Andrew Levey '76, as 2013 Distinguished Alumni.

My friend Natasha from 5 Star Foodie Culinary Adventures is hosting a great recipe contest. She is giving away 4 Magic Bullets. They are wonderful kitchen gadgets useful for doing quick and easy prep work. Submit your favorite snack recipe. Hop over to her blog to get all the pertinent information. The contest closes FRIDAY JUNE 18, 2010. I have already submitted my entry.
This week I have 3 Blogcritics Articles to promote.
1. If you watch the show Treme, then check out Kate's great review Treme - Wish Someone Would Care
2. Deana from lostpastremembered wrote the interesting piece All the World's a Blog & A Great Chocolate Cake is Found
3. Yours truly penned Ceviche: Fish As Cocktail
Although I like to think of myself as straightforward, in many ways I am a person of contradictions.
I'm not much of an early riser but not exactly a night owl either as sleeping in always makes me feel guilty about missing the morning light.
I'm a language teacher but dislike the idea of taking courses myself and prefer to learn alone.
I pride myself on having good taste in books and films but listen to the cheapest kind of music.
I grew up in a small village but only really feel comfortable in the anonymity of a big city.
I'm one of the most organised people as far as time management is concerned but also one of the messiest you'll ever meet.
For years, my great passion was mountains. They became like old friends I could pick out on the horizon on walks and I couldn't imagine my life without them, yet I now live in one of the flattest areas far from the Alps.
Perhaps though, it's not so surprising that I ended up in Berlin since it too is a place of contradictions, the divided city. To the untrained eye, it seems modern and bursting with change yet blink again and you'll find traces of the past springing up everywhere. It's a place where old meets new, a vast building site that may never be finished as the writer Döblin once described it. It's a capital city with no real centre since each area considers itself separate and unique from the others. I love the fact that you find everything here; travel just a few stops on the suburban train and it's like stepping into another world.
Last week, I took a trip back to Sans Souci palace in Potsdam, a place where I first went on my first visit to Berlin back in the summer of 2006. I remember the heat and humidity of that day not so different from how it was last week. Already early in the morning, there was a kind if stickiness in the air as groups of tourists made their way around the park under a cloudless sky. I opted for the shade of a bench under the gaze of the white statues which resisted the sun's rays. I thought back to past summers when I used to spend all day here reading but this time was content to explore different corners like the church tower reflected in the mirrored surface of the lake or the vast array of flowers bursting into bloom. I thought about how much time has passed since my first visit, how it was to see Berlin through the eyes of an outsider, something I cannot imagine now. I long to return here when the leaves have turned to a deep gold or the avenues are buried under a blanket of snow.
Boston Cream Pie (from Nigella Lawson's How to be a Domestic Goddess)
For the sponge cake
225g unsalted butter, very soft
225g caster sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
4 large eggs
200g flour
25g cornflour
1 teaspoon baking powder
3-4 tablespoons milk
2 x 21cm sandwich tins (around 5cm deep), greased and lined
1. Pre-heat the oven to 180°C. Cream the butter and sugar together in a large mixing bowl.
2. Add the eggs one at a time, adding a spoonful of flour in between each one so the mixture doesn't curdle. Then fold in the flour, cornflour and baking powder until you have a nice smooth mixture, adding a little milk if needed.
3. Divide the mixture equally between the tins and bake for around 25 minutes or until golden and a cake tester comes out clean. Leave to cool in their tins for around 10 mins before placing them on a wire rack to cool completely.
For the crème patisserie
125ml milk
125ml double cream
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
3 large egg yolks
50g caster sugar
15g plain flour
1. Warm the milk and cream in a saucepan until almost boiling then remove from the heat, cover it and leave it to stand for 10 minutes.
2. In large bowl, whisk together the egg yolks and sugar until creamy then beat in the flour. Add this egg mixture to the warm milk along with the vanilla essence. Pour back into a saucepan and place over a low heat, stirring constantly, until the custard thickens. Remove from the heat then leave to cool by tearing off some greaseproof paper, wetting it and placing it on the surface of the cream in the bowl so you don't get a skin. Please don't place it in the fridge as apparently, it does strange things to the texture.
For the chocolate ganache
150ml double cream
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 teaspoon unsalted butter
150g dark chocolate
1. Warm the cream, vanilla extract, butter and chopped chocolate in a pan until melted. Remove from the heat and leave to cool a little.
To assemble everything when cool, place four strips of greaseproof paper on the plate on which you're going to serve the cake to make a square. Sandwich the cakes together with the cream, the pour the chocolate icing over the top of the cake so you have a nice thick layer that runs down the sides. When everything's set, remove the paper so you have a perfect cake on a drip free plat
