WESTFIELD, N.J. (AP) - Gov. Chris Christie's re-election campaign says it will not take public matching money for the June Republican primary.
Christie's campaign announced on Tuesday it's raising money well enough that it does not need the extra cash.
In the fourth quarter of 2012, Christie raised more than $2 million.
No well-known Republicans have announced plans to challenge Christie in the primary.
State Sen. Barbara Buono is the only prominent Democrat in the race. She raised about $250,000 by Dec. 31 and does plan to seek matching funds.

Dear Farm Journal Reader:
When talking with farmers who just weathered the worst drought since 1956, I'm heartened by how many link the impact of the drought with their ability to feed the world. Being from Missouri, I've lived through several droughts. Memories of 1988 are the most vivid, but this is the first time I've heard farmers worry about a short crop putting the hungry at risk.
As the Editor of Farm Journal and President of the Farm Journal Foundation, which leads the nonprofit Farmers Feeding the World initiative, that connection provokes a bittersweet pride for how farmers are engaging in the fight to alleviate hunger, both here and abroad. Today, the average U.S. farmer feeds 155 people. That's a far cry from the 26 people a single producer fed in 1960. Even so, more than 870 million people go to bed hungry every night—many of them children. At the same time, a growing information gap between the people who grow food and those who eat it is creating a general misunderstanding of agriculture.
Thanks to support from farmers like yourself, Farmers Feeding the World devotes philanthropic funds to tackle both problems by:
In the past year, thanks to the generosity of hundreds of farmers, ranchers and friends of agriculture, Farmers Feeding the World has:
Here's a video overview of our work:
Learn more about our Milestone Year.
We are proud of the work that Farmers Feeding the World has done in 2012, and we are grateful for the generosity and support from friends like you, who have made it all possible. We need your continued donations to keep making a difference. Our commitment is that 100% of your donation goes straight to our non-profit mission.
From the Farm Journal Foundation, we wish you and yours a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.

The impending release of WordPress 3.6 has been pushed back one more week to April 29. At this time, WordPress 3.6 is not yet feature complete (meaning that all intended new features have not been entirely finished), so the decision was made to push the first beta release back two weeks to March 27 and the final release back one week to April 29. This will allow the team time to focus on finalizing the in-progress new features so that they (and the brave folks who enjoy running beta software) can simply focus on testing and bug fixing rather than polishing up partial features.[Continue Reading...]

There has been a lot of talk lately about working from home and maintaining a distributed workforce. Web-based software, like WordPress, Joomla, and Drupal, are taking over the publishing industry and allow you to work from anywhere with an internet connection. Though, even though they can be managed from home, working from home and maintaining a distributed workforce is not yet broadly acknowledged in society as a successful and efficient alternative to working in an office. Despite working with software that doesn't need to be tied to one specific workstation, you could still find yourself tied to a desk in cubicle. I work full-time for Automattic and have the pleasure of both working from home and setting my own hours. After all, I only need a browser, an email client, and IRC client, and Skype to do my job.

In his first at-bat as a Dodger, first baseman Adrian Gonzalez provided all the runs the Dodgers would need in their 8-2 victory tonight over the Miami Marlins. Gonzalez drove a Josh Johnson low-and-inside fastball down the right field line just inside the fair pole for a three-run homer to give the Dodgers a 4-1 lead at the time.
Meanwhile, back in Boston, Mauro Gomez was doing his best Adrian Gonzalez impersonation. Gomez hit a two-run home run, his first career home run, in the second inning as part of a 4-for-6 night with three RBI. The Red Sox however, lost 10-9 in twelve innings, dropping their record to 60-67.
Could Gomez make Red Sox fans forget that Red Sox management let the Dodgers buy Adrian Gonzalez right from under their collective noses? Gomez has posted a .310/.371/.589 slash line with 24 home runs, 34 doubles and 74 RBI in 100 games for the Red Sox AAA affiliate in Pawtucket this year. At 27 years of age however, Gomez is not considered a prospect.
James Loney, newly acquired from the Dodgers, will be a free agent after this season. If Gomez doesn't stick in the majors, who might play first base for the Red Sox next year? The free agent cupboard for first basemen this winter looks barren. Lance Berkman? Headed for retirement. Jason Giambi? He will be 42-years old and hasn't played over 100 games at first base since the 2008 season. Casey Kotchman? Carlos Lee? Derrek Lee? Carlos Pena?
Maybe the Red Sox will resign Kevin Youkilis and move him back to first base.
Yeah, that made me laugh too.

There's a new serial bank robber in town and the FBI wants your help tracking him down.
FBI agents gave the "Archer Avenue Bandit" this name after they say he robbed two different banks on this street in 2009.
They aslo belive he's responsible for robbing an Alsip bank, not once, but twice. Investigators say the Archer Avenue bandit rang in the New Year by knocking over the Charter One Bank on Pulaski near 120th Street on January 4th. They also say he robbed the same bank on January 9, 2009. That brings his total to four bank robberies.
The FBI's Bob Shields says, "All of these robberies have occurred in the cold weather which is another indicator he's going to wear clothing you cant see if he does have a gun or display a gun."
The clothing you should be on the look out for is an orange or red - colored construction vest and workman's gloves. Investigators believe the bandit may work near the banks he robs. Despite the suspect wearing eye glasses, agents say they are pushed down on his nose so you can still get a good look at his face. They also say the bandit appears very calm and moves very quickly.
Investigators also believe the Archer Avenue bandit is responsible for a fifth bank robbery. It happened in Crown Point - just two days before Christmas. Each time, he claims to have a gun.
Agents believe the Archer Avenue bandit is a black male, in his late 20's, about five feet ten inches tall, weighing around 175 pounds, with a thin to medium build. He is considered armed and dangerous. If you see him, call police.

Explore health content from A to Z.
I need information about...
You had a procedure called pneumonectomy, which is the surgical removal of a lung. This procedure is performed to treat a lung tumor or infection. Here's what you need to know about home care following surgery.
Leave the small white strips over your incision in place for 7 to 10 days after your surgery. If they fall off sooner, that is OK.
Always keep your incision clean and dry.
Shower as needed. Wash your incision gently with mild soap and warm water and pat dry. Do not scrub the incision.
You do not need to apply any creams, lotions, or ointments, even if they contain antibiotics, on your incision unless instructed by your doctor
Don't worry if you are fatigued. Fatigue and weakness normally last a few weeks after pneumonectomy.
Rest when you are tired.
Listen to your body. If an activity causes pain, stop.
Limit your activity to short walks. Gradually increase your pace and distance as you feel able.
Avoid strenuous activities, such as mowing the lawn, vacuuming, or playing sports.
Don't lift anything heavier than 10 pounds for 4 to 6 weeks.
Avoid sitting with your legs down or crossed for long periods of time.
Lie on the side of your surgery, with your remaining lung up (toward the ceiling).
Don't drive until you are off your pain medications and free of pain. This may take 2 to 4 weeks.
Do not smoke and try to avoid being around people who do.
Learn to check your own pulse. Keep a record of your results. Ask your doctor which pulse rates mean that you need medical attention.
Check your temperature every day for 1 week after your surgery.
Use your incentive spirometer at least 5 times a day for the first 2 weeks you are home. You can use it more if you want to. If you can not get it up as high as you could previously, let your doctor know.
Return to your diet as you feel able. Eat a healthy, well-balanced diet.
Keep in mind that the pain medications that you are given after surgery, as well as prescribed iron supplements, might cause constipation.
Use laxatives, stool softeners, or enemas as directed by your doctor.
Eat more high-fiber foods.
Make a follow-up appointment as directed by our staff.
Call your doctor right away if you have any of the following:
Fever above 101°F
Brown or bloody sputum
Drainage from your incision
Nausea or vomiting
Increased pain
Shortness of breath
New or unusual swelling in one or both legs
Sensation that your heart is racing
Irregular, quick, or abnormal heart rhythm
Note: Call 911 if you are coughing up large amounts of brownish or bloody sputum or are in any distress. Lie on the side of your operation with your remaining lung up while you wait for help.

Goldman Sachs Group Inc Stock Hold Recommendation Reiterated (GS)
- EXCLUSIVE OFFER: Jim Cramer's Protégé, Dave Peltier, only buys Stocks Under $10 that he thinks could potentially double. See what he's trading today with a 14-day FREE pass
- GS's very impressive revenue growth greatly exceeded the industry average of 3.4%. Since the same quarter one year prior, revenues leaped by 81.6%. Growth in the company's revenue appears to have helped boost the earnings per share.
- Compared to where it was a year ago today, the stock is now trading at a higher level, reflecting both the market's overall trend during that period and the fact that the company's earnings growth has been robust. Looking ahead, our view is that this company's fundamentals will not have much impact in either direction, allowing the stock to generally move up or down based on the push and pull of the broad market.
- GOLDMAN SACHS GROUP INC reported significant earnings per share improvement in the most recent quarter compared to the same quarter a year ago. This company has reported somewhat volatile earnings recently. But, we feel it is poised for EPS growth in the coming year. During the past fiscal year, GOLDMAN SACHS GROUP INC reported lower earnings of $4.41 versus $13.14 in the prior year. This year, the market expects an improvement in earnings ($11.87 versus $4.41).
- The return on equity has improved slightly when compared to the same quarter one year prior. This can be construed as a modest strength in the organization. When compared to other companies in the Capital Markets industry and the overall market, GOLDMAN SACHS GROUP INC's return on equity is below that of both the industry average and the S&P 500.

LOS ANGELES — Astronomers searching for planets outside our solar system have discovered the tiniest one yet — one that's about the size of our moon.
But hunters for life in the universe will need to poke elsewhere. The new world orbits too close to its sun-like star and is too sizzling to support life. Its surface temperature is an estimated 700 degrees Fahrenheit. It also lacks an atmosphere and water on its rocky surface.

Vegetable Crop Outlook 2012 ctd.
Kent Shoemaker
Lipman (formerly Six L's
Packing Co.), Immokalee, FL
Q1. Coming out of a winter with several freezes and some heavy rain, we had a decent yield this past spring. Overall, Lipman was pleased with the season.
Q2. The early tomato crop was fair, due to the excessive rain in Central Florida. Farther south in Estero, LaBelle, and Immokalee, the tomato crop is still young.
Q3. As the largest field tomato grower in North America, we are one of the only companies in the country to provide consistent, year-round employment for migrant workers. As a result, we depend on our farm workers every day, and it is essential for us to care for them and their families. All our workers have I-9 documentation and are approved to work in the U.S. If they don't have this documentation, they aren't hired. We use Job Services of Florida to screen and verify workers.
Q4. Weather fluctuations affect crop yields — therefore, climate change has a major impact on our business. And, while we can't control the weather, we can control our farm locations. To continuously provide fresh, seasonal produce, Lipman's farms are positioned strategically throughout North America.
Q5. Ensuring we continue to meet our customers' changing needs is an important factor. Customers want to interact with the growers and see where the produce is coming from. Lipman's "Access to the Acre" program gives them the opportunity to do this. As part of this program, we have created the "Lipman Vegetable Garden," a 5,000-acre farm that includes a significant volume of all the vegetables grown across Florida.

Middle names revealed: Alan Gordon, Chris Wondolowski named to the Gold Cup preliminary USMNT roster
Quakes forwards, Alan Gordon and Chris Wondolowski, were named to the preliminary 35-man USMNT roster for the upcoming Gold Cup. CONCACAF revealed all twelve teams' preliminary rosters on Friday, with each roster to be trimmed down to a final 23-man version by June 27. The opening match for the Gold Cup is set for July 8.
The USMNT roster is very MLS-heavy at the moment, with players representing from the Houston Dynamo, Sporting Kansas City, Real Salt Lake, San Jose Earthquakes, Seattle Sounders, LA Galaxy, D.C. United, Chicago Fire and Philadelphia Union.
Another great thing about the roster reveal? Middle names.
Another #USMNT naming revelation: He's not just Alan Gordon. He's Alan Eugene Gordon II. Greatness was preordained. We should have known.

Very nicely done article by Eric in today's NYTimes:
which brings some well-deserved publicity to the area. Wish we could find some of those wines out west.
Interesting that the most controversial wine was a extended skin-contact Riesling. No surprise there. I understand they're experimenting some w/ that technique in Germany, but have not tried any yet.

My "cousin" mentioned having spaghetti soup a few nights ago and I was like, "what is that?" So tonight I tried making my own Spaghetti Soup.
I had some leftover meat sauce in the freezer so I thawed that out to use. Then I cooked some pasta (I used Angel Hair because I have plenty on hand).
Then I added my leftover sauce (I had 24 oz. container of leftovers) to my sauce pan (which ended up not being big enough, so use something bigger than a 3 qt sauce pan).
It wasn't quite thawed so I heated it up slowly to thaw it out. Then I added a more spices (Italian seasoning, garlic and some minced onions) and 3 beef bouillon cubes. Then I heated up some water to add to the pot. I added the spaghetti and as much water as I could and then added more once I dipped out our first servings. Then I topped it with Parmesan and mozzarella.
My almost 3 year old ate about 3 cups of it. My almost 5 year old ate 3 bowls full! I only ate 2. But it was definitely tasty and will make for a new spin on spaghetti next time I have sauce to use up.
Ashlee's Spaghetti Soup
24 oz of your favorite spaghetti meat sauce
Spices I added in addition to what was already used in my sauce:
Teaspoon of minced onion
1/2 tsp of garlic
Italian seasoning to taste
3 beef bouillon cubes
Water (I probably added 4-5 cups but that a guess)
1. Cook pasta and set aside
2. Heat sauce (or make sauce).
3. Add spices, bouillon and pasta to sauce and stir.
4. Add water and bring to boil.
5. Serve with optional cheese. Enjoy!

Design of Wideband Power Transfer Networks for Communication Systems via Real Frequency Techniques
Design of Wideband Power Transfer Networks for Communication Systems via Real Frequency Techniques
Event on 2012-12-07 16:00:00
In this seminar, firstly, history of broadband matching and glimpse of analytic theory of broadband matching will be presented. Then, practical solutions to matching problems via Real Frequency Techniques will be discussed.
Actual examples, such as design of various commercial and military antenna and transducer matching networks, single and multistage microwave amplifiers will be shown.
Finally, on MatLab environment, a live design example will be exhibited to construct a wideband matching network to transfer maximum power from the output of a power transistor used for VHF/UHF wireless communication system.
At the end of the seminar, the audience will be witnessed to design a matching network from measured impedance data to optimum circuit layout printed on the screen of the laptop computer.

I took a look around the web today to see who all the mock drafts had the Jaguars picking in the upcoming draft. This is assuming they stay at the number 8 spot which I could easily see them trading down to avoid a high rookie salary. Now, in my mock draft last week, I had OT Michael Oher from Ole Miss falling to us. If he is there I have no doubt we will take him but the big question is whether or not someone else will take him first. Let's begin the rundown:
thehazean.com - Jason Smith, OT, Baylor
sports2debate.com - Malcolm Jenkins, CB, Ohio State
nflmockdraftaces.com - Jason Smith, OT, Baylor
cdsdraft.com – Jeremy Maclin, WR, Missouri
mynfldraft.com - Malcolm Jenkins, CB, Ohio State
profootballamerica.com - Jeremy Maclin, WR, Missouri
footballjabber.com - Jeremy Maclin, WR, Missouri (Lee)
footballjabber.com - Jason Smith, OT, Baylor (TJ)
kornheiserscartel.com - Rey Maualuga, LB, USC
dawgpounddaily.com - Rey Maualuga, LB, USC
draftdude.blogspot.com - Jason Smith, OT, Baylor
nfldraftexperts.net – Michael Oher, OT, Ole Miss
prosportsdraft.webs.com - Jason Smith, OT, Baylor
sidelionreport.com – Eugene Monroe, OT, Virginia
draftace.com - James Laurinaitis, LB, Ohio State
draftdaddy.com – Andre Smith, OT, Alabama
draftguru.wordpress.com - Jeremy Maclin, WR, Missouri
So the most common names to come up are Jason Smith and Jeremy Maclin. I don't see the Jaguars picking either of these players in the draft. I don't think there is any way we take a receiver in the first round and I think that eventhough Jason Smith has a lot of upside, he is a reach that high in the draft as a converted TE.

Hi Guys,
I would love to purchase an STI when im 21. Im thinking of getting either an 06 or 07 model as i think these look the best shape wise. I have fallen in love with the Subies but i need some serious help. My plan once i get one is to do it up slightly. I to no extent want my car to look like an experiment, stock standard on the outside except for maybe some nice looking wheels is all i want to do body wise. This is where i need my help though. I want to make it a seriously quick vehicle and would like to put another turbo on it and ideally a BOV. (yes i do like the sound although many dont ) I need to know as much as possible about this so when i make my moves i know whats happening to my vehicle.
Help would be much appreciated to those who know their stuff about these vehicles, ideally those who know about the 06 or 07 model STI's.
I understand how the BOV's work and why they are there, but when would one need to be installed onto a car such as this? Can they be installed onto the factory turbo that already comes with the car? If not then why?
Can i fit another turbo to the car? If so then tell me as much as you can about it...? Does this now allow for a BOV to be fitted?
I need to know as much as what you can tell me about these specific things. If you guys can do this i would be very very grateful, as i have no idea .
Thanks for your time guys, and please help!

Real Wages in Germany: Numerous Years of Decline
AbstractNet real wages in Germany have hardly risen since the beginning of the 1990s. Between 2004 and 2008 they even declined. This is a unique development in Germany-never before has a period of rather strong economic growth been accompanied by a decline in net real wages over a period of several years. The key reason for this decline is not higher taxes and social-insurance contributions, as many would hold, but rather extremely slow wage growth, both in absolute terms and from an international perspective. This finding is all the more striking in light of the fact that average employee education levels have risen, which would on its face lead one to expect higher wage levels. In contrast to the prevailing wage trend, income from self-employment and investment assets has risen sharply in recent years, such that compensation of employees makes up an ever shrinking percentage of national income. Inflation-adjusted compensation of employees as a share of national income reached a historic low of 61% in 2007 and 2008. As in previous recessions, however, investment income has been under greater downward pressure in recent months than wages.

The NY Post is reporting that the New Jersey Devils and GM Lou Lmaoriello have opened up contract talks with soon to be restricted free-agent Zach Parise. With their backs up against the deadline to file team elected arbitration for Parise the Devils appear to have decided now is a good time to try and sign the star forward to an extension. It's still up in the are as to whether a deal can be reached before the deadline, but the Devils could file for arbitration while continuing to work on an constructing a new deal. Let's keep our fingers crossed.
In other news Lamoriello has confirmed that D Matt Taormina is 100% recovered from the ankle surgery he had to repair damaged ligaments in his severely sprained ankle. Lamoriello also said that Taormina has been skating regularly and is expected to participate in the teams prospect camp during the summer.
The Devils also made a minor trade on Thursday when they acquired D Maxim Noreau from Minnesota for C David McIntyre. Not exactly the big defensive acquisition I had hoped for but the summer is still young.
I also was to congratulate former Devils head coach Claude Julian on leading the Boston Bruins to the organizations first Stanley Cup Championship in 39 years. It's always good to see Devils alumni having success.Follow me on twitter! @westcoastdevfan

4 gold stars for partial success
My most recent "mission" has been to try to become Brazilian in 3 months, i.e. reach the stage that several Brazilians would think that I too was Brazilian. And I can say… mission complete!!!
I have decided to award myself 4 gold stars for my achievements. To achieve 5 stars I emphasised that I wanted to converse for about 2 minutes in several casual social situations with the result of the other person being surprised when I made a mistake or mentioned naturally where I was from. Sadly, I didn't achieve exactly that – but I am still very pleased with the result.
What I did do was have a few (6 at last count) locals that I had just met, who genuinely thought I was from here, each in isolated events, for up to 20-30 seconds and when I was very focussed and intentionally trying. So I didn't reach my more generous time limit and I couldn't pull it off naturally and casually, and especially not if I was even the slightest bit tired or distracted. Even so, the overall end-goal has been reached!
As well as the "trick a local" goal, I have achieved so much more here; I've greatly improved my Portuguese and will label the main linguistic achievement of this time as getting past the plateau of speaking "well". My accent has hugely improved (even when I'm not focussed) and I use more casual and less formal language and I can tell that Brazilians are more comfortable talking to me because of this. In upcoming posts I will describe the biggest changes I've made to my Portuguese, to make it more Carioca.
Apart from the technical linguistic aspect, I think that what I've achieved from the Brazilians' perspective is more important. Nearly everyone I talked to assured me that my accent was inconsequential and that my attitude towards Brazilians was the key factor in deciding if I was Brazilian at heart; which is way more important to them. I definitely feel like I wasn't just another gringo in Rio to them, and I've made lots of friends in the process. I am genuinely feeling sad to leave my favourite country and the cidade maravilhosa. There is a famous untranslatable Portuguese word: saudades . That is what I'm going to be feeling very soon…
I'll also summarise the social aspect of what I learned in becoming a Carioca, in a separate post. So there will be a couple more posts about what I've learned in these 3 months, before I wrap up this mission entirely.
What will the next mission be?
I will be home for xmas for one week, and then I am going to Zakopane for one week in Poland for the JES event for New Year's. The first week in January I am getting a flight out of Poland to my next destination, where I will be spending 2 months. I have big plans for 2010!! I plan to take on 3 languages by September.
So, I hear you ask, what is the next language??
I will tell you of course, but since I'm an evil bastard I'll keep you in suspense a little longer! I want to finish some posts relevant to the Brazilian mission over the next 2 weeks before officially starting the next one on this blog just before the end of the year!
But for those of you who want to find out sooner, I will announce it first on fluentin3months' facebook page and then on my twitter account, this weekend! And yes, this is a shameless plug to get more fans/followers
Otherwise, you can leave a comment below to say what you think the next language will be. I will e-mail anyone who gets it right to confirm. Each commenter only gets one guess! Some close friends and other contacts already know where I'm going, so don't spoil the surprise please
Also, leave your comments to share your thoughts about this mission. Do I deserve 4 stars, or is that too generous? Is being Brazilian at heart more important than just speaking with no accent or having the right body language? Let me know you have been following this story and tell me if you've enjoyed it!

text: (KDAL) - The Minnesota Supreme Court on Friday denied a petition to further review a request for a preliminary injuction to stop the upcoming state wolf hunting season. DNR Commissioner Tom Landwehr says the action resolves any uncertainty that hunters and trappers might have for the season that begins on Saturday, November 3rd. The planned wolf hunting and trapping seasons will go on as planned this fall and winter. Landwehr says the state has a about 3000 wolves and the conservative target of 400 wolves in the hunt will not have a significant impact on the population.

Commercial printing presses are pricey, complex pieces of machinery, but hobbyists and small printers can build a simple sticker printing machine with basic hand tools and basically available parts. Screen printing is the simplest technique for sticker printing, and a small flat-bed screen press will produce excellent quality stickers in small batches. Though screen printing of stickers is similar to t-shirt printing in technique, the screen and inks used are different. Particular advice on materials necessary to print different sticker types can be gotten from your local ink and supply distributor, along with the screen printing hinge clamps to complete the press.
1. First measure the center of the plywood, two inches from the outside edge with a measuring tape and use a pencil to mark it.
2. In the second step measure three inches out from the center on each side and use a pencil to mark it.
3. Center the screen printing hinge clamps on the inch marks on either side of the middle, and mark the screw hole locations with a pencil.
4. Drill pilot hole for the screws, in the exact area where it is marked by the pencil for the screw holes with a drill. Be sure to use a drill bit that is smaller than the screws provided with the hinges and drill to depth approximately ½ the screw length.
5. Place the hinges in position and use screwdriver to tighten the screws.
6. Screen printing screen should be installed on the press by inserting the screen into the hinge clamps, and tightening the built in thumbscrews.
7. Place a sheet of sticker material on the plywood by lifting the screen.
8. Measure all sides using a tape measure and lower the screen and center the sticker with the screen image. Several tries may be necessary to center the sheet.
9. Using a double sided tape installed cardboard strips on the outside edge of the sticker material. One strip should be stripped on the top and another one strip on one side that will act as a placement gauge for sheet loading.
10. Remove the sticker material sheet, and spray a light coating of spray adhesive to the plywood where the sticker material will be placed. Permit to dry for minute before re-loading the sticker material, and smoothing flat with hand. The press is now prepared for ink and printing.
These are some useful tips that will help you to build a sticker printing machines. Now day's stickers are becoming more popular, so if you are thinking to start a sticker printing, you need a good sticker printing machine.

SPECIAL OFFER: - Limited Time Only!
(The ad below will not display on your printed page)
In case you haven't heard, sitting is bad for you. Really bad. It can contribute to weight gain, diabetes, cancer, and early death, says Madelyn Fernstrom, PhD, professor of psychiatry, epidemiology, and surgery at the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center. Adults who sit 11 or more hours per day have a 40 percent increased risk of dying in the next three years compared with those who sat for fewer than four hours a day, according to a study of more than 200,000 people published in Archives of Internal Medicine. And regular sweat sessions don't even seem to help that much. Women who regularly exercise sit just as much as couch potatoes, according to Northwestern Medicine researchers.
The Plan: Since we don't recommend storming out of your office in protest, it's time you become an "active sitter." Try swapping your swivel chair for an exercise ball. It will force you to sit up straight to maintain balance, the whole time strengthening your core. When you take calls, stand up and walk around if you can, and make indoor meetings walking ones (if your colleagues are up for it). And when you get home from work, don't just sit on the couch!

If you take the right precautions, regular exercise can be beneficial in pregnancy for you and for your baby
How exercise can benefit your unborn baby, too
Just as diet and nutrition directly affect your baby, exercise is another influence on your body which links straight to the growing fetus.
A natural high Exercising produces a biochemical compound in our bodies called endorphins. They help to drive us in times of exercise, shock or other extreme emotions. Some people call them our 'natural pain killers', but the rush they produce when we have pushed ourselves even a little, during exercise, can be passed on to a baby in a perfectly safe and positive way.
Oxygen feed Because exercising improves our blood flow – and blood is the route by which we feed our growing babies everything they need in the womb - we up the levels of oxygen in the blood which helps fetal development.
Adrenalin injection The hormonal change that comes with exercising, can cross the placenta which means your baby can enjoy the adrenalin feed too.
Make sure you know what's safe to do in pregnancy, trimester by trimester, and that you drink the right about of water.
Posted: 27/09/2007 at 22:59
HI Diana,
Fetus is just the medical term for your baby once you're into the second trimester. Congrats on the pregnancy!

Amy Winehouse - "You Know I'm No Good"
Amy Winehouse exploded in 2007 with her release Back to Black, produced by British DJ Mark Ronson. Ronson took Winehouse's soulful vocals and matched them with Sharon Jones' backing band, the Dap-Kings to create a sound that revived British R&B. This track showcases that sound in all its glory, with its skittering drums and horn bursts. Though she has self-destructed in recent years, this record keeps fans hoping for a follow-up.
Sharon Jones & The Dap Kings - "I Learned The Hard Way"
Though Sharon and the Dap Kings have only been playing together since 1996, their music recalls the funk and soul of Motown, Stax, and FAME Studios in Muscle Shoals. This song, from their recent record of the same name, highlights their throwback sound, which was recorded using microphones from the 60's and 70's in an effort to authentically capture the energy of the instruments.

U.S. economy grew faster-than-expected 3.1% in third quarter
Washington, DC, United States (4E) – The U.S. economy grew at a much faster rate than previously predicted in the third quarter, amid worries of a "fiscal cliff" taking effect next year and the effects of superstorm Sandy slowing growth in the final months of the year.
In a report released by the Commerce Department on Thursday in Washington, the country's gross domestic product (GDP) expanded by an annualized rate of 3.1 per cent in the three months ending September, higher than the previous estimate of a 2.7 per cent advance. In a survey by economists, the median estimate calls for a 2.8 per cent gain.
The latest figure also shows that the economy grew at a much faster rate compared to the 1.3 per cent rise in the second quarter.
The Commerce Department report said that the latest reading does not change the general picture of the overall economy for the quarter. It did show modest rise in consumer spending and lower import activity.
The latest data shows consumer spending is on the rise at a rate of 1.6 per cent during the period, slightly better than the 1.4 per cent previously estimated, primarily because of higher spending on healthcare.
As global demand weakens and local firms holding off spending and hiring because of the looming tax hikes and budget cuts in 2013, the world's largest economy may find it difficult to maintain that growth rate in the fourth quarter.
The Federal Reserve is seeking to boost economic activity and drive down unemployment by pushing for record stimulus.

"I think this card fit exactly what I wanted. Nothing to flashy, but perfect to express our thanks to our family and friends for celebrating with us. Love the idea of it!"
"We used this beautiful card as our son's birthday thank you cards. The paper & quality were excellent. We changed the layout to portrait and changed the font for his name to Kids Play Bold to make it less formal. The text came out lovely. The size of the card was perfect. We reorder more cards to have as general thank you cards since the design is so simple."
"Overall I am happy with this card. I was happy to be able to customize it- I wanted to make more generalized cards that I could send out- not just thank you cards so I asked the designer in the live chat. I was able to change the wording on the card as well as the colors. The design turned out perfect. I wish the print quality of my picture was better- it doesn't list anywhere that the picture needed to be a certain resolution size or pixel."
"I love the way this card turned out. Even using an iPhone photo for this card the quality was still beautiful when printed from tiny prints."
"This thank you card was perfect for my little one's baptism thank you cards and matched closely to the baptism invitations I had purchased here as well. I loved that I was able to add her photo to it and name adding such a nice personal touch to it. The quality of the paper is so nice. All of the card products I have purchased from tinyprints have been such quality products."
