The Rollins Department of Theatre & Dance and the Rollins Players presented the student-produced, final production of the Fred Stone Theatre Second Stage Series, titled Mary's Wedding from March 23 through 27. This was the directorial debut of Kaitlin Elizabeth Baxter (Class of 2011). Her two-person cast of Shannon Lynch (Class of 2012) and Chris Sutter (Class of 2013) created a surreal performance that was both humorous and tragic.
"This show would not have been successful without the talent and dedication of my cast and crew," said Baxter following the March 24 performance. "Bringing this modern play to life was a great challenge." Baxter mentioned the difficulty she experienced interpreting the vague and surreal stage directions in the script.
Set in rural Canada and the French front lines of WWI, the play written by Stephen Massicotte takes place as a young lover's dream the night before her wedding. With a contemporary style, the dream tells the story of the relationship between Mary and Charlie, played by Lynch and Sutter, and how it lasts even as Charlie enlists in the cavalry and dies an untimely death. The performers had to play a variety of different characters throughout the play as it moved disjointedly through time.
Lynch, who was making her Fred Stone debut, commented that she was a little nervous about the intimacy of the theatre, small cast size and amount of lines spoken by her characters. However, it was clear that the actors fed off of their intimacy with the audience. "It was a major challenge, but I feel that everyone involved rose to the occasion and I am very proud of the production," Lynch stated.
The next presentation by the Department of Theatre & Dance is the production of It's All Greek To Me!, created and directed by David Charles, associate professor of theatre. Opening on the Annie Russell Theatre stage on April 15 and running through April 23, this improvisational comedy guarantees no two performances will be alike so audience members should plan on seeing it more than once. For information on the upcoming performance, please contact the Annie Russell Box Office at 407-646-2145.

Mild High Blood Pressure: Exercise OK?
Aug. 8, 2006 -- Your list of reasons to exercise just got longer.
New research from Johns Hopkins University shows that six months of moderate exercise didn't strain heart health in 104 adults with mild, untreated high blood pressurehigh blood pressure.
Participants were 55-75 years old (average age: 63). Blood pressure tends to inch upwards with age, and high blood pressure often goes undiagnosed in people of all ages.
Exercise is famous for its heart benefits. But each workout briefly boosts blood pressure a bit. The new study asked if those temporary blood pressure spikes were safe for participants' hearts.
Cardiology professor Edward Shapiro, MD, sums up the findings in a Johns Hopkins news release.
"Our study ... shows that the vast majority of older people with mildly elevated blood pressure can benefit from moderate exercise," Shapiro says.
"They should talk about it with their physician to determine an appropriate exercise and any other options for treatment," he adds.
To Exercise or Not?
The researchers split participants into two groups.
One group did an hour of moderate exercise three times weekly for six months. The other group didn't change their usual routine.
None was a hard-core exerciser or in great shape before the study. Their average BMI was about 29, which is overweight but not obese.
Here's the drill for the exercise sessions, which were supervised:
- Warm up
- Do resistance training (two sets of seven exercises, with 10-15 repetitions per set)
- Get an aerobic workout on a treadmill, stationary bike, or stair-stepping machine
The plan follows guidelines from the American College of Sports Medicine. But everyone is different, so the researchers aren't touting this plan as the be-all, end-all fitness plan.
All participants got information on heart-healthy foods. But they weren't asked to diet or lose weight.
Before and After
Participants didn't need their sneakers for one of the study's most important steps.
They all got checkups before being assigned to their group. Checking in with your doctor before starting a new exercise program is a smart move, especially if you've been idle awhile.
Six months later, participants got another checkup. The results:
- No dangerously enlarged hearts, or increased stiffness of the heart wall
- No change in systolic blood pressure (the first number in a blood pressure reading)
The exercise group also showed several advantages:
- Better gains in aerobic fitness on a treadmill test
- Better improvement with muscle strength
- More fat loss
- Bigger drop in diastolic blood pressure (the second number in a blood pressure reading)
Fear Not
It's true that "having high blood pressure at rest is a well-established risk factor for heart problems," says exercise physiologist Kerry Stewart, EdD, in the news release.
But "older people should not fear the effects of moderate exercise on the heart, despite short-term bump-ups in blood pressure during their workout," Stewart continues.
Stewart worked with Shapiro and other experts on the study.
"Exercise is a highly effective means of increasing the heart's efficiency and reducing body fat, factors that may ward off future health problems, such as heart diseaseheart disease and diabetesdiabetes," Stewart says.

A grant to Ivy Tech is seen as a first step in solving some local labor problems.
A $670,000 check was handed to Ivy Tech North Central, in support of two new programs.
Both programs are designed to address local labor shortages identified in advanced manufacturing, and respiratory therapy.
Juan Manigault of the Workforce Development Group, INC. said, "I think the respiratory therapy shortage we're dealing with about 130 respiratory therapist shortage in our region, and so this is an attempt to address those shortages."
Ivy Tech's respiratory therapy program will begin in the fall of 2007.
In the weeks to come, Workforce Development will announce additional grant programs designed to respond to other labor shortages in the area.

Excellent tour, even with the rain. The guide was very informative, helpful and accommodating. I booked this, along with the Half Day Small-Group Kyoto Cultural tour (walking) at the last minute after I arrived in Kyoto. I had basically a day and a half in Kyoto prior to spending the bulk of my Japan trip in Tokyo. This was a great way to see the city in a half day's time. I'm not sure I would have wanted more time in Kyoto, because once you've seen several temples and shrines, I think seeing more would just become redundant. Bring a rain poncho, just in case.

Nothing but praise for this tour. Fantastic guide ( Elsa) and a wonderful way to see and learn about some of Kyoto's best sites. Easy , safe but also fun cycle for all ages.

Pharmacare Hawaii
"We began our company by teaching patient self-care. We were ahead of the curve of today's health care industry, where patients are now encouraged to take more responsibility for their well-being," says Pharmacare President and CEO Byron Yoshino.
A third generation retail pharmacist, Byron Yoshino and partner Rick Sakurada embarked on a bold venture 27 years ago for the locally owned and operated company, as it faced increasing competition from large Mainland drugstore chains. Pharmacare pioneered a new niche in the state's pharmacy industry as Hawaii's first company to o er home infusion therapies, taking patients discharged from a hospital and providing intravenous antibiotic therapy and other intravenous therapies. Services have grown to include home enteral nutrition services for patients unable to swallow or digest food and Specialty Pharmacy services, to help patients with chronic conditions, such as rheumatoid arthritis and hemophilia, to receive high cost injectable medication to improve their quality of life.
Pharmacare today is the state's largest and most diversified pharmacy services provider with over 125 employees − including pharmacists, nurses and dietitians − providing over 35 infusion therapies to Hawaii, Guam and the South Pacific. In the last decade, it has diversified with three divisions, including an expanded retail pharmacy operation, with eight Oahu outlets; and an institutional care pharmacy, providing multiple levels of care outside of the hospital. Retail pharmacy services include on-site immunizations for adults and the state's only pharmacy specializing in pediatric products and services.
For a second consecutive year, Pharmacare is one of Hawaii's 2010 Top 250 companies. No small feat for a startup that began in 1983 with just three employees. "People thought we were crazy," recalls Yoshino, who recognized the new therapies as an emerging trend on the Mainland. Pharmacare had to convince health care providers and insurers that home therapies were safe and effective, adapt hospital equipment for home use, and face growing competition from national providers.
"From the beginning, we always understood the importance of good customer service and focused on the quality of our innovative services to drive our reputation and growth," says Sakurada, Executive Vice President. "What set us apart is we knew how to run a business and set our sights on growing the company."
Pharmacare's enduring entrepreneurial spirit guides its growth, with the addition of the newest retail pharmacy location at Tamura's Super Market in Waianae and in anticipation of health care reform, the offering of drug plan benefits administration for hospices, employers and unions.
"We are committed to continue our company's mission to improve people's lives with quality, innovative and diversified health care services," says Yoshino.

Has anyone trained using a sandbag or used any other alternative exercise methods?
Hilarious video from Jerome Mayberry on how to train effectively.
- Not eating: It's super early, but you need toeat in order to fuel your workout. Munch on something small while you're getting ready, like half a banana or half a piece of toast with a little peanut butter. You'll not only avoid the gnawing hunger pangs, but you'll also have an extra pep in your step to exercise harder or longer than you would on an empty stomach. When you get home, you can enjoy your usual breakfast, which is always something to look forward to.
- Loading up on fiber: While it's important to eat a little something, you don't want to load up on bulky fiber that can make you feel too full or upset your stomach.
- Not hydrating: Aside from food, you also need water. Definitely don't down half a gallon before you hit the gym because too much water can cause cramping, but make sure you sip a short glass of H2O while enjoying your small snack.
- Not laying your outfit out the night before: You don't have oodles of time in the morning, so don't take away from your exercise time by scrambling to find your missing sock. Plan your outfit before you go to bed so you can just slip it on and go.
- Not getting enough sleep the night before: Exercise is very important, but your body equally needs adequate rest. You can't stay up till midnight and expect to feel bright and perky for a 5:30 a.m. workout. Get at least seven to eight hours of sleep before your alarm goes off.
Most of us will listen to music to increase the intensity of our workout session and to help maintain motivation and enjoyment.

Protein Powders
Whey protein is the most commonly used type of protein and is absorbed into the body quickly and efficiently. Whey Protein also contains high levels of all the essential amino acids and branched-chain amino acids (BCAA's).
To obtain sufficient muscle growth and recovery, a constant available stream of protein is vital. This demand by the body is easily satisfied with the aid of a protein supplement which are available in numerous sizes and flavours.
Glutamine is the most abundant amino acid (building block of protein) in the body. Over 61% of skeletal muscle tissue is glutamine. L-glutamine is predominantly synthesized and stored in skeletal muscle.
While the body can make glutamine, under extreme physical stress the demand for glutamine exceeds the body's ability to synthesize it. For athletes and those taking part in regular exercise a glutamine supplement is essential.
Glutamine supplements have been shown to strengthen the immune system and to maintain cell volume and hydration therefore increasing the speed of recovery, especially after exercise or illness.
CLA is an antioxidant with anti-cancer properties that can reduce the risk of cardio vascular disease. It is also better known for its ability to reduce body fat and increase lean muscle mass.
Apart from particular food sources, CLA can be found in higher doses in many nutritional sports supplements in the form of capsules, powders and health bars.
Creatine is naturally produced in the human body from amino acids primarily in the kidney and liver with approximately 95% of the human body's total creatine located in skeletal muscle.
Creatine supplementation will allow the muscles to exercise longer and harder by creating the required abundance that is unavailable through food consumption. This abundance of creatine subsequently stored in the muscle promotes the synthesis of protein as well as deter the breakdown of protein required to build muscle mass. There are a number of forms of creatine with the most common being creatine monohydrate (creatine complexed with a molecule of water) and Creatine ethyl ester (CEE).
HMB or beta-hydroxy beta-methyl butyrate is synthesized in the human body and is a metabolite of amino acid leucine.
Numerous studies show that HMB supplementation is effective in increasing muscle mass and decreasing muscle breakdown. Moreover, it also helps increase muscle weight and overall strength.
HMB also speeds recovery from strenuous resistance training exercises.
Meal replacement powders offer a convenient source of nutrition to assist a balanced diet and to support strength, power, size and recovery goals. MRP's provide a convenient source of necessary protein and carbohydrates when access to a regular meal is not readily available.
These products are also low in fat and will also contain essential nutrients such as creatine, BCAA's and a wide array of vitamins and minerals.
When nitric oxide is consumed in the form of natural foods or dietary supplements, it helps gain lean muscle mass because it widens the blood channels that supply blood to skeletal muscles. Furthermore, nitric oxide helps improve muscle size, endurance and boosts energy levels.
Muscle recovery and jointcare is also an important factor when looking to reduce the possible risk of injury and alleviating fatigue.
If you are trying to recover after intense exercise or from an injury, it is important to eat right foods. Consume lots of proteins, vitamins and minerals. Supplements can also help repair damaged tissues and ligaments.
Meal replacement bars offer a convenient source of nutrition to assist a balanced diet and to support strength, power, size and recovery goals.
Their convenience provides the perfect source of necessary protein and carbohydrates when access to a regular meal is not readily available.
There are many products on the market with all being available in a variety of forms (i.e protein bars , all-in-one bars) and in a range of delicious flavours.
Protein supplementation for those who are vegans is essential, and especially paramount when looking at sports nutrition and gaining muscle.
Whey protein is a by-product of cheese production with vegans are unable to consume due to its derivation from cows. To combat protein deficiency there are protein supplements available which are formulated from pure pea isolate.
Vegan multivitamins are an ideal source of nutrients for vegans and vegetarians without any sources of animal products such as cod liver oil.
Vegans therefore, with protein powders and multivitamins can engage in an active and sporting regime without compromising their chosen diet or developing any deficiencies which may slow down their desired progress.
Weight loss supplements are designed to assist and and improve the body's physical and metabolic systems. This function of increased efficiency encourages the use of undesirable fat reserves for energy and subsequently resulting in weight loss and a leaner physique.
A balanced healthy diet and regular exercise is the ideal solution for those looking to lose weight and burn body fat. However, there are additional supplements that can aid this process.
Weight gain supplements are a valuable resource for those looking to achieve faster results with their muscle building and size requirements. These products are also ideal for those with an above average metabolism and lean physique.
These products will essentially contain high quality protein, complex carbohydrates, creatine and BCAA's in higher levels to assist in muscle growth and the replenishment of muscle glycogen stores.
ZMA is a combination of the essential minerals Zinc and Magnesium which act as antioxidant and also stimulates the activity of many enzymes in the body. Magnesium is required by the body for bone health and also metabolic and cardiovascular functions. Zinc is an important mineral and assist the body in the synthesis of protein and muscle repair.
Studies have shown the users of ZMA have shown increases in strength, muscle mass and improved overall health.

Here's some surprising green gossip for you. Apparently, celebrity athlete and boxer Mike Tyson is the new poster boy for vegans. The former World Heavyweight Champion just converted another Hollywood celebrity to eating the strict vegetarian diet.
Tyson, who recently starred in the sleeper hit movie The Hangover with actor Bradley Cooper, is pretty fierce about staying healthy and eating right. He's been advocating to his Hollywood friends that they join him in just saying no to eating animal products and byproducts.
Ecorazzi, a good news and green celebrity spotlight entertainment news source, shared the following: "Alan Cumming has gone from vegetarian to vegan , and credits another vegan celebrity for the inspiration."
Their entertainment news source Contactmusic further elaborated that the Hollywood actor has been a vegetarian since early 2010, but has made it his New Year's resolution to remove all animal products from his diet in 2012.
Alan Cumming tweeted, "That's it. I was toying with going the whole hog to veganism and now I see Mike Tyson is the new Vegan posterboy! Sold! Get ye back, seitan!"
So much for making himself sound like a bad ass! According to Ecorazzi, the formerly brutal boxer (who served time in jail after assaulting a woman) became a vegan in 2010.
Good for him!
Other vegan star celebs who deserve a healthy round of applause for sticking to a vegan/vegetarian diet include actress Alicia Silverstone, Katy Perry's soon-to-be ex-husband, comedian Russell Brand, former Buffy the Vampire series star Eliza Dushku, heavy metal rocker Ozzy Osbourne (Kelly Osbourne's dad), and former United States President Bill Clinton.
Over indulgence and weight gain is an accepted part of Christmas for most people with the new year bringing resolutions of fitness and weight loss to the forefront once again.
General overeating is of course a significant factor in the increased calorie intake during the festive period; however, the majority of food and drinks consumed are high in calories with negligible nutritional benefit. This consumption, alongside limited bodily exertion and exercise, results in significant and rapid weight gain. Using supplements during this period so that the body still receives its required nutritional content is essential.
Although many of these traditional elements would be difficult to sacrifice, a number of products can be indulged in moderation not only to not avoid them but to limit the effect of the high calories they contain.
Baileys Irish Cream
Just 3 large 100ml glasses of this popular Christmas drink can add almost 1000 calories to you daily intake. Try drinking in moderation.
Premium Lagers
Consuming just 4 pints of an average premium lager can add over 1000 calories to you daily intake. Light beers can be substituted if possible to save some valuable calories.
Mulled Wine
A large glass of this unique festive drink can contain up to 505 calories. Although an ideal warming drink, having just one, will significantly limit your calorie intake.
Overeating and abdominal bloating is something most will experience during December. OptiBac Probiotics For a flat stomach is an ideal supplement for those suffering from abdominal bloating due to trapped wind, food intolerances, PMS or stress.

Yes. The sanitary sewer and the storm sewer are two completely separate drainage systems. The sewer system, or sanitary wastewater system, takes all household wastewater from toilets showers, and routes it through your plumbing system into a water treatment facility. Once there, it receives three levels of filtration treatment before being discharged. The storm water system, on the other hand, is intended to route rainwater quickly off impervious surfaces

Akhilesh Yadav will be the next chief minister of Uttar Pradesh, according to TV reports. Sources say that Samajwadi Party leader Mulayam Singh Yadav has convinced senior leaders of the party on Akhilesh's candidature.
At 38, Akhilesh Yadav will be the youngest CM of Uttar Pradesh. The SP parliamentary board will meet on Saturday March 10 to formally decide and announce the CM of Uttar Pradesh. Even, Akhilesh Yadav added to the suspense today by evading questions on the chief ministership issue.
Ever since the election results were out on Tuesday, there has been speculation as to who would be the chief minister. A section of party leaders wanted Akhilesh as the new CM, crediting with the party's change of fortunes with his spirited campaign before and during the elections.
"We don't have anything to say today. The legislature party will meet tomorrow where the leader will be chosen. All MLAs and MPs will take part in the meeting," Mulayam Singh Yadav said earlier in the day.
The SP got a majority in the state assembly by securing 224 seats out of the total 403 seats.

The Ford Focus ST has quickly become one of our favorite hot hatchbacks on the market today, as the U.S.-spec model pumps out a monstrous 252 horsepower and 270 pound-feet of torque, and gets this hatchback to 60 mph in just 6.2 seconds. The UK-spec Focus ST is slightly detuned – wow, we actually got the upper hand in performance for once – as it has 250 PS (246 horsepower) and 360 Nm (265 pound-feet) of torque, which gets it to 62 mph in 6.5 seconds and gives it a 154 mph top speed.
Apparently, the UK thinks so highly of Ford's newest version of the Focus that it has been approved by the National Policing Improvement Agency (NPIA) for use by UK police officers. While Ford does not go into many specifics about what's under the hood, we assume by the lack of information that this Police Patrol Vehicle pumps out the same 250 PS and 360 Nm of torque, which will give it a huge upper hand on most of the cars roaming the streets of the UK.
Inside, the Ford Focus ST PPV is a mobile data terminal, which allows the police to activate the various functions of the car and likely acts as the in-car computer system for checking up on bad guys. Atop the Focus's compact body sits the obligatory blue-and-white light bar boasting long-lasting LED technology. The body of the demonstrator car that Ford is dragging around the UK is draped in white with your typical police livery.
Local police forces can pick up the Focus ST PPV for £21,995 ($35,156 at the current exchange rates) in hatchback form or for £23,095 ($36,915) for the estate (wagon) model.

Press Release
Brentwood, Essex, 23 October, 2012 – Following its movie debut in the UK crime thriller The Sweeney, the all-new Ford Focus ST has taken on its next starring role – this time as an official police patrol vehicle.
While the five-door hot hatch used by Flying Squad detectives Regan and Carter was unmarked, this estate version gets the full law enforcement livery.
The one-off demonstrator has been developed and engineered at Ford Special Vehicle Preparations (SVP) in Earls Colne, Essex. Equipped as a compact traffic car, it meets the latest National Policing Improvement Agency (NPIA) standards for fast response vehicles inside and out. The light bar on the roof is all-LED, and the dashboard is fitted with a mobile data terminal (MDT) and screen to illustrate the Focus ST's versatility for multi-role police use.
The car appeared at the National Association of Police Fleet Managers' Conference and Blue Light Fleet Exhibition (NAPFM) in Peterborough.
Terry Adams, Ford's Direct Sales Manager for Police, Fire & Ambulance, commented: "With the Ford Focus ST being seen so publicly on cinema screens nationwide, the timing for this 'official' version couldn't be better. At the NAPFM show we displayed the car's crime-fighting talents to police transport managers and took bookings for demonstrations."
Also available for the public to buy, the all-new Ford Focus ST comes in five vibrant colours including Tangerine Scream and Spirit Blue.
The car's 2.0-litre 250PS EcoBoost engine means it can accelerate from 0-62 mph in just 6.5 seconds and has a top speed of 154 mph. The hatchback is priced from £21,995 with the estate costing from £23,095.

This is easily the best accessory for the iPod for active people. I've used it every time I've gone riding and I'm continually amazed at how convenient its features are. No more having to remove gloves or headphones every time you're in a lift line or asking your riding buddies which run you'll be doing next. Plus tons of room for extra gloves, goggles, and spare layers of clothes. The pack itself has an impressive amount of space too. I can fit a change of clothes (jeans, hoody, fresh sox, and t-shirt) for after work activities. Backcountry also had the best price anywhere!!

DHL's 'catalogue of shame' is revealed today
2 November 2012
Global union the ITF is confronting DHL with what it calls 'a catalogue of shame' today by releasing evidence that the company is allowing its Turkish subsidiary to get away with illegal and punitive anti-union, anti-worker campaigns. To back up its allegations against the logistics giant, the ITF (International Transport Workers' Federation) is unveiling the results of an investigation by respected US academic Professor John Logan which can be seen here.
The report Aggressive and unlawful: a report into Deutsche Post DHL operations in Turkey, which is based on one-to-one interviews with workers, union officials, labour lawyers, parliamentarians, journalists, academics and others reveals a well coordinated and sophisticated anti-union campaign involving management at the highest levels. It charges the instigators with the use of unfair and illegal sackings, threats and intimidation to create a climate of fear within the company. Despite this, the report finds, the parent company, Bonn-based Deutsche Post DHL, has tried to discredit allegations of abuses, despite compelling evidence from several sources.
ITF organising globally coordinator Ingo Marowsky commented: "This report provides the 'smoking gun' that DHL has long denied existed. The fact is that DHL in Turkey is out of control, with responsibility for that going right to the top of Deutsche Post DHL."
He continued: "We and our colleagues in UNI Global Union have raised this scandal face to face with DHL management in Bonn and received nothing but platitudes, excuses and claims that there is no proof. Well, DHL, here's the proof, what are you going to do now? Nothing less than a clean up and the reinstatement of these illegally sacked workers will do."
The ITF and its fellow global union UNI have long challenged Deutsche Post DHL's commitment to the rights of its employees and its own claimed corporate social responsibilities. Their campaign has included targeting the company's annual general meetings with evidence of serious wrongdoing being carried out in several countries, including as recently as May this year (see). The two organisations have repeatedly called on DHL to enter into a global framework agreement, a negotiated 'bill of rights' that would sets out minimum protections and trade union rights for all DHL workers.
Germany's powerful ver.di union has publicly called on Deutsche Post DHL to honour the right of workers at its subsidiary in Turkey to join a trade union, and on 3 November is sending a six-strong top level delegation to investigate the situation there.
A further delegation will arrive in Turkey on 9 November made up of Eduardo Chagas, ETF (European Transport Workers' Federation) general secretary and members of the European Parliament.
Professor Logan's report notes that:
For well over a year, almost 1500 workers and about 1000 subcontracted employees who work at DHL Turkey's supply chain division have been attempting to form a union. In response, the company has apparently fired several workers for union activities and engaged in a host of other aggressive and illegal anti-union actions. This report attempts to uncover exactly what has happened at DHL Turkey and examine whether the company's actions are consistent with the principles contained in the company's Corporate Responsibility Code, its Code of Conduct and the external labor standards that it has embraced.
Much of the evidence for this report is based on extensive interviews with DHL Logistics workers in Istanbul and Ankara. During the period September 10-17, I conducted multiple interviews with current and former DHL employees (i.e., those fired, allegedly for union activities) and sub-contracted workers at DHL Logistics, officials from Tumtis (Turkish transport workers union), officials form Turkey's main labor federations, labor lawyers, journalists, academics, members of the Turkish Parliament and others. These interviews help illuminate exactly what is happening during the ongoing attempt by DHL Turkey workers to form a union, which has to date resulted in the sacking of over 21 workers since April 2011.
The interviews with DHL Logistics workers have uncovered multiple examples of anti-union activities by management. Every single interviewee describes instances of anti-union behavior – some legal under Turkish law, other clearly illegal – that he or she had either experienced firsthand or witnessed directly. But this is not simply a "little local difficulty." These activities form part of a sustained and coordinated strategy to limit workers' freedom of association, and are not simply the rogue behavior of a few over-zealous local managers.
This is the executive summary of the report
For well over a year, workers at DHL Logistics in Turkey have been attempting to form a union. In response, management has apparently fired workers for union activities and engaged in a variety of other aggressive and illegal anti-union actions.
DHL's anti-union tactics have included the following:
1. At least twenty-one terminations, apparently for union membership, under the pretext of "poor performance," safety violations, or other vague violations of company policy.
2. Management pressure on workers, either through threats of dismissal or offers of financial incentives, to sign notarized letters resigning from the union.
3. Direct warnings given to employees by management that becoming unionized would harm the company and harm their personal careers at DHL.
4. Explicit anti-union threats by management intended to create an atmosphere of fear and intimidation within the workplace.
5. Derogatory statements about the union made directly to the workers, including suggestions that the union has links to a known terrorist organization.
6. Instances of management preventing DHL Logistics workers from talking to union officials during break times and outside of workplace premises.
7. Management discrimination against workers because they had joined the union.
8. Management-conducted "training sessions" warning workers against joining the union.
9. Surveillance of picket lines and discrimination against workers who visit the picket lines.
10. Alterations to the work environment designed to prevent workers from communicating with union officials and stop workers from talking to one another about the union.
These anti-union activities form part of a sustained and coordinated strategy to limit workers' freedom of association, and are not simply the "individual erratic behaviour" of a few over-zealous local managers. Rather than make a good faith effort to remedy these violations, however, Deutsche Post DHL has attempted to discredit allegations of labor rights abuses, even in the face of compelling evidence from several sources.
Professor John Logan, the report's author, is director and professor of labour studies at San Francisco State University, and a senior labour policy specialist at UC Berkeley's Labor Center.

Aggressive and unlawful: a report into Deutsche Post DHL operations in Turkey
A report by a respected US academic commissioned by the ITF (International Transport Workers' Federation) has laid out evidence that since, early 2011 when 2,500 workers and subcontracted workers at DHL Turkey chose to be represented by a trade union, the company has been guilty of a concerted, punitive and at times illegal campaign against them.
"Every single interviewee describes instances of anti-union behaviour – some legal under Turkish law, other clearly illegal – that he or she had either experienced firsthand or witnessed directly."
Professor John Logan, Aggressive and unlawful: a report into Deutsche Post DHL
The report is based on one-to-one interviews with existing and dismissed workers, union officials, labour lawyers, parliamentarians, journalists, academics and others. Using the evidence gathered it charges DHL management with (among other practices):
• Sacking at least twenty one people since April 2011, apparently for union membership, under pretexts such as poor performance or refusing overtime – despite records proving otherwise. All eight of the sackings that have so far been challenged in the courts have been found to be unfair
• Putting pressure on workers, either through threats of dismissal or offers of financial incentives, to sign notarised letters resigning from the union
• Warning employees that becoming unionised would harm their careers at DHL and harm the company
• Making threats intended to create an atmosphere of fear and intimidation
• Claiming the union chosen by the workers (Tumtis) is linked to terrorists
• Preventing staff from talking to their union officials during breaks and outside work
• Discriminating against workers who have joined the union.
• Running so-called 'training sessions' warning workers against joining the union
• Conducting surveillance of picket lines, and discriminating against workers who visit them
• Physically changing the work environment to prevent workers from communicating with union officials and to stop workers from talking to one another about the union
"(DHL) management said at the meetings: 'Either you are with us or against us, and if you are against us, you will be fired.'"
DHL employee, Kirac, Istanbul
Who ordered this victimisation?
DHL Turkey parent Deutsche Post DHL has claimed that the shocking tactics employed in Turkey never happened. The ITF is presenting them with this report to make clear that this campaign of intimidation exists, is provable, and cannot be explained away as a 'local problem'. National managers have reported in conversations with Tumtis officials that they are acting directly on the orders of executives at Deutsche Post DHL in Bonn. For example, in conversations in July and August 2012 between the president of Tumtis, Kenan Ozturk, and the human resources director for DHL Turkey, Riza Balta, Ozturk was told that Bonn did not want a union at DHL Turkey, and that Balta intended to implement that policy.
About the report
The report can be seen in full here. Its author, Professor John Logan, is director and professor of labour studies at San Francisco State University, and a senior labor policy specialist at UC Berkeley's Labor Center.
What must Deutsche Post DHL do now?
The ITF believes that the company must now act to remedy the situation in its Turkish operations by reinstating the sacked workers, ending the campaign of intimidation and talking to the workers and their trade union of choice, Tumtis. The ITF and its sister union organisation UNI Global Union want Deutsche Post DHL to sign a global framework agreement, a negotiated 'bill of rights' that would sets out minimum protections and trade union rights for all DHL workers, wherever they are in the world.

16.03.07 By Kieran Redmond: Recently I found myself watching a TV interview with none other than Mr. Bert Sugar. I`ll be honest, I don`t much care for most of his rants. He`s a pure anachronism and I long for the moment that science develops a time machine that can send him to when most other people smoked cigars as well. On this occasion Bert was displaying his all time top ten heavyweights of all time. Firstly, as I had expected from Bert, there was no Lennox Lewis on the list, and secondly he had put Evander Holyfield at tenth place.
Before we go any further maybe we should clarify what greatness should mean in boxing (how we should construct an all time top ten heavyweight list). Take, for example, fighter A at first place and fighter B at second place. Firstly, fighter A should be ranked above fighter B based on the fact that fighter A in his prime would most likely beat fighter B in an encounter in the ring. Secondly, fighter A should be ranked above fighter B because fighter A faced and beat a higher number of high level opposition.
Based on this criteria Lewis should easily be on the top ten boxing list. Most of the small size cruiserweights of yesteryear which counted then as heavyweights (especially the flat footed ones) would not have coped well at all with Lennox Lewis. Lewis would have displayed much more coordination, speed, technical ability, and athleticism than was the norm of giants such as Jess Willlard and Primo Carnera, but I don`t expect Bert to ever grasp this fact. Just how on earth a 185 pound Rocky Marciano could ever hope to slug it out with Lewis for 12 rounds is beyond me.
I will be fair though, the Dempseys and Marcianos of yesteryear would most probably completely dominate the cruiserweight division of today (including the James Toneys and Holyfields). They would also most certainly destroy some of the out of shape slow heavyweights of today (some of which heavily resemble the Carneras and the Willards). The Dempseys and Marcianos of today are still cruiser weights though, and if you think that a talented 185 pound cruiserweight can easily walk through a talented 235 pound plus heavyweight then you obviously don`t understand why we have weight divisions in boxing.
You might ask why I am only classifying heavyweights as those who weight more than 200 pounds, the answer is because I am not an anachronism, that is today`s weight limit.
However that being said, fighters such as Holmes, Foreman and Ali would simply walk through today`s heavyweight division. Ali would be an even faster and even more technically sound version of Byrd (who gave many big fighters far more than they could handle) and even Wladimir`s accurate would find it very hard to hit Ali clean given his head movement, remember that Klitschko rarely ever hits to the body if at all. Foreman would equally be decapitating fighters with his power. Holmes with his perfect jab would also be bludgeoning today`s heavyweights endlessly. However, it is uncertain how any of these three would have done against Lewis, maybe he would have beaten them, maybe they would have beaten him but he clearly deserves a place in the top ten boxing list up there with those guys.
Unfortunately with fighters who fought in different eras it is impossible to ever gain a consensus as to who was greater. However, with regards to Lennox Lewis and Evander Holyfield it should be much easier given that they both fought in roughly the same era, it should be anyway. Unfortunately it is difficult for many to see Lewis as the greater fighter of the two because he did not fight certain great fighters that Holyfield fought, namely 1 A prime Tyson, and 2 Riddick Bowe as a professional.
What I am about to say has been said countless times in boxing circles but maybe if I spelled it out for some people they might grasp it. Bowe, after beating Holyfield in a clear 12 round UD in 1992 gave up his belt as opposed to facing Lewis, a person who had shamefully called him out publicly on numerous occasions, a person who had taken away Bowe`s chance of a gold medal at the Seoul 1988 Olympics, and a person who was visible to the boxing world as the guy who had easily destroyed Razor Ruddock in 2 rounds. Mike Tyson in 1996 gave up his WBC belt rather than face Lewis, who did he then face? Holyfield.
Holyfield had to fight Bowe twice in order to get his world titles back (the third was a non title fight) and he fought Tyson twice to get his belt. Lewis got belts from both Tyson and Bowe without even lifting a finger, in the words of Sun Tsu Hence to fight and conquer in all your battles is not supreme excellence; supreme excellence consists in breaking the enemy's resistance without fighting. Two world champions gave up their titles to Lewis without even fighting, in essence beat those two without even setting foot in the ring. Bowe and Tyson (in 1996) were both unwilling to fight Lewis yet they were not phased by the presence of Lennox. Boxers know which other boxers are good and which aren`t. After his destruction of Ruddock Foreman said that Lennox scared even him, he certainly wasn`t the only one voicing that sentiment.
In terms of their records, Lennox still comes out on top. As well as taking two titles off of two world champions without facing them he virtually beat every fighter he ever faced in the ring. Yes, he did lose to McCall and Rahman who were not class A fighters. However, let`s look at this more carefully. Firstly Lewis did not take either of these fights as seriously as he should have McCall came into the fight with a record that had five losses on it and most of those losses were to bad opposition, and Rahman had lost to Tua and Maskaev before entering the ring (Lewis faced Rahman 10 pounds heavier than the weight he had faced when fighting Holyfield). Lewis got beaten fair and square and then he came back with his A game and dominated, although to be fair the McCall rematch was a disgrace and a man in that condition should not have been allowed by a doctor to enter the ring.
The Rahman rematch was amusing since Rahman obviously wanted no rematch against Lewis, a person he had brutally koed, a person who he would make a lot of money from in the rematch, a person who defeating a second time would even further solidify his legacy, a person who he was contractually obliged to rematch. Rahman resisted so much he had to be dragged through court before entering the ring. Why do you suppose he did not want a rematch with Lewis? Was it possibly because he knew that he got lucky in the first fight and that he was going to get schooled in the rematch? Again, boxers know just how good other boxers are.
The point is though that Lewis avenged his losses and when he brought his A game he never lost a fight, the same couldn`t be said about Holyfield. In his prime Holyfield lost to Lennox, Bowe and Moorer, he never avenged the Moorer loss and in fights with Bowe and Lennox he got beaten three times with one win and one controversial draw.
Lewis still has a better record even in his later years, his last fight was a win against Vitali Klitschko, a fight Lennox won but which certainly warranted a rematch, maybe Vitali could have won the rematch maybe not who knows but Lennox was fighting after his prime and you can`t blame him for retiring rather than facing the man who would become the dominant champion of the division for a few more years, a man with the highest stoppage ratio of any heavyweight ever. Holyfield would continue to a series of fights with Ruiz, winning one, losing another and then drawing in the third. Most boxing fans would recognize that Vitali was a better champion than Ruiz, I don`t think I even need to explain why. Even past their primes Lennox held his own better than Holyfield did.
Let us not forget the fact that Lewis and Holyfield actually fought each other twice. The first fight was a clear win for Lennox and to be declared a draw was an absolute travesty, Holyfield won 3 rounds at most in a fight in which Lennox landed almost twice as many punches. The crowd that had been chanting USA in round 12 gave a loud resounding booing when the draw was announced. The rematch was much closer and could have gone either way but was awarded to Lennox and was certainly not a robbery like the first. In their fights with one another Lennox again comes out on top.
Probably the most ridiculous argument ever made in favor of Evander over Lennox is that Evander was a four time world heavyweight champion but Lennox was only a three time world heavyweight champion. What people fail to grasp is that Holyfield lost the title more times than Lewis and he failed to recapture titles, Lewis never failed in recapturing a title he had lost. Both Holyfield and Lennox were undisputed champions, but Holyfield was an undisputed champion before Lennox emerged, Lennox became undisputed champion by taking that place away from Holyfield. In the past 20 years only 2 boxers have managed to unify three titles after having held a title before a unification fight, Lennox and Tyson are the only two. Lennox has the third highest number of successful title defences (15) behind Larry Holmes and Joe Louis. Lennox retired as undisputed champion, something only Marciano previously managed. Lennox was the most dominant fighter of the era, he has many accomplishments that very very few heavyweights have ever had.
Not surprisingly, the reasons that Lennox gets very little praise for his accomplishments are the reasons that Holyfield does. Firstly, Lennox was not American whereas Holyfield was, let`s be honest if he was American he would easily be in the top ten by now. Secondly, Lennox did not like to brawl and mix it up, Holyfield was more likely to mix it up and go toe to toe (this may be why Holyfield lost more fights though). It is strange how many people praise Floyd Mayweather for not fighting Carlos Baldomir head on yet seem perfectly at ease ridiculing Lennox for doing exactly the same thing even though both employed winning strategies. What sort of sensible boxer would slug it out with David Tua? (barring chin of granite Ibeyabuchi).
Thirdly, Lennox was a big guy who was cautious and Holyfield was a little guy who would risk it all, people like rooting for the little guy, have you ever seen a kung fu movie where a big guy is the hero fighting a much smaller guy?. Fourth, Lennox accepted that his body was getting older and decided to get out of boxing on top and some fans feel cheated by this somehow, Holyfield on the other hand is going into dangerous territory and is being praised for doing this by many fans who should really be trying to stop him.
Holyfield though was a great champion and fought great fighters and certainly deserves a place in the top ten heavyweights list of past to now (you can`t say of all time because all time includes future as well as past, unless Bert sugar is claiming to be a psychic as well). The only thing I am trying to argue is that Lennox Lewis should also be on this list and occupy a spot just slightly higher than that of Holyfield.
Comments of all shapes and sizes are very welcome from all, even Bert!

With its rugged styling and sporty good looks, the Formula One series watch from TAG Heuer is designed to work as hard as you play. This version features a black dial with three-hand function, luminous hands and markers, hand-applied Arabic numerals, and a date window at the 4 o'clock position. Surrounding the dial is a black unidirectional rotating bezel with engraved dive time markers for safe timing of dives and other limited events. The bezel is crafted from steel with PVD titanium treatment for superior strength and durability. Oversized flutes make it easy to grip and turn. Other notable features include precise Swiss quartz movement and a scratch-resistant sapphire crystal. The dial is set in a steel case that measures 42-mm in diameter and is accented on the sides with black protective bumpers for added durability. It presents on a triple-link brushed steel bracelet that fastens with a double-locking foldover clasp. A built-in extension system allows for length adjustment so that the watch can be worn
TAG Heuer traces its roots to the small Swiss village of St-Imier where, in 1860, a watchmaker named Edouard Heuer opened his first shop. His vision was to create remarkable timepieces that pushed the envelope of innovation and precision. The company's reputation grew, and Heuer's first patent for a chronograph mechanism in 1882 was followed by a long list of achievements: the first stopwatch accurate to 1/100 of a second, the first dashboard stopwatch for race cars, the first miniature electronic timekeeping device accurate to 1/1000th of a second, and the first automatic movement with a microrotor, to name just a few.
Over the years, Heuer's reputation for gold-standard precision earned the company the privilege of providing official timing services for a number of world-class competitive sporting events, including the Olympic Games, the FIS Ski World Cup, and the FIA Formula 1 World Championships. To this day, TAG Heuer maintains a close association with the world of competitive sports and enjoys a devoted following among sports celebrities and enthusiasts. In 1985, Heuer joined the TAG (Techniques D'Avant-Garde) group, and the TAG Heuer name and logo were created. Now one of the most recognized and sought-after watch brands in the world, TAG Heuer continues its reputation of innovative design and technological excellence, creating prestigious timepieces that are always at the cutting edge of precision, reliability and style.
A luxury watch at an affordable price. It has some weight and feels solidly built. Initially, the clasp is very tight and very difficult to open and thus 4 stars. Read morePublished on December 28, 2009 by T. Tam
I have had this watch for 3 years and have found it to be an excellent time piece. The crystal has no scratches at all the bezel has some very light wear (not noticable) Keeps... Read morePublished on October 21, 2007 by Rush Junkie

Dear Paula, I just wanted to tell you how much I enjoy your shows, your cookbooks, and your recipes. Sorry you are having controversy on being a diabetic and finally telling the world. That was up to you to tell and it's up to the individual to make your recipes and eat them. I too am a type 2 diabetic now on insulin only, but when it comes to special occasions, I make one of your cakes. Everyone I make even for one of those events or for church everyone raves about them. I will admit, I am one that tries some myself. So please continue being yourself and I will continue to watch and cook. Thanks for all you do! Charlotte
By Anonymous on January 25, 2012
This may be a blessing in disguise, Paula. Who would be a better public spokesperson for changing eating habits, but America's favorite cook!? Millions of viewers watch your show, and now you can touch those viewers and maybe help them to identify their own health issues as you show us how to eat healthier! I guess this is a "if life hands you lemons, make lemonade" moment! Kudos to y'all and God Bless!
By M. Andros on January 25, 2012
Dear Paula, you are who you are and please don't change. I personally think that your health problems are your personal business and no one else's but you and your family's. After all you are the queen of southern cooking. This is how you have made your living and I won't quit buying your magazine just because you chose not to share this sooner. I am really disappointed in the other chef's who claim to be your friend and then don't defend you. Yes, I am also a diabetic but I can cook your recipee's and eat them in moderation. Hold your head up high and know that your fans still love you. I know I do!
By Becky Carter on January 25, 2012
Paula I love your show I have MS and I know what you mean about having to control your diet but I think your food is awesome and I have tried several of your dishes and they all rock. And you are so right as long as you eat food in moderation you can eat just about anything.. Your an inspiration to me so keep doing what your doing.... Big Hugs and Much Love from my kitchen to yours. Sincerely Julie Wolfe

You are my Heroette! When I was diagnosed with Type II Diabetes, I kept it from my family. I have a very loving, supportive and sometimes nosey family. I had to learn how to deal with the diabetes on my own, before I was ready to share with anyone. My family is very supportive and understood my need for privacy. I understand your need for privacy and totally respect and admire your decisions. Diabetes is a very personal thing to deal with. May God Bless you and your loving family as you strive to heal yourself and help us with "our journey!" I LOVE BUTTER!
By Cindylynn on January 24, 2012
With all the love you put into your cooking I have no doubt in my mind that you will make some adjustments to your recipes that will make them diabetic friendly.

I know you will get everything ship shape in no time because I believe you are more than capable my friend. We all have our tests in life and this is one you can get perfect grades and attendance in.

Paula, it breaks my heart to hear of your illness. One minute they tell me I'm pre-diabetic and the next one says i'm not, not sure why other than my own eating habits. Can't wait to see what you have come up with for us folks that love to eat,I know I only need to take it more seriously on a daily basis. I know if i don't pay more attention it will be a fact not a possible for me. God Bless you, and as they say here in the south Y'all come on we can overcome it.

I think you'll find your results on Vezax aren't exactly a shocking surprise. There's no way you can get that far and not see these same people in the fire on easier content. The trick is to catch people who consistently fail at it and address it while the content is still easy. When you're wiping on Yogg and people aren't getting it, it's already too late. If you see someone failing all the time in Obsidian Sanctum, and allow a person to adjust I think some people might have a better chance bringing their skills up to par.
I wouldn't exactly say Heigan is a good way to judge people though. I never died on it either until I had problems with my cable modem. While usually I have 150ms latency, it started shooting up between 1500 and 2000+. I'd see people in the goop but not dead, and everything was just shooting up in random places and my character was all over the place. I knew where I was SUPPOSED to be, but it didn't matter. It doesn't take more skill than getting past stage 1 in super mario bros, but I think you'd find super mario bros quite difficult if you had no idea where mario was, or if the game actually registered the point where you thought you jumped.
Babbling, so anyway. Rehearsal is key. Take the time to coach people through easier content, and I think you'll see them perform better as it gets slightly more complicated instead of watching them drown when their in way over their heads.

TEAMS: Dallas Cowboys
Dallas leads the regular season all-time series 56–44. But when the Cowboys and Eagles play all bets are off. No team is safe ever. The Cowboys and Eagles play twice in the next 4 weeks. What happens in four weeks most likely will not mean a thing for the team that loses this week. Whichever team falls to 3-6 will have their season officially over. So which team will get on a run and get back into the playoff hunt? Both teams have been turnover machines on offense and so-so on defense. The Eagles just fired their Defensive Coordinator during their bye week but did not look any better after the break. The Eagles offense has been anemic at best averaging less than 17 points per games. The Cowboys the are not much better at 19 points per game. Turnovers on offense have killed both teams. The defenses are very close letting up 22.6 and 22.9 points per game respectively. The Eagles are at home which should give them an edge but the Cowboys played a solid game against an undefea...

"We don't have an opinion or more importantly a vote one way or another. We're not thrilled with it ... but it's essentially up to the analysts."
"I just received a phone call regarding a "public opinion survey." I told them I had a poor opinion of the public and hung up."
"Seniors are still divided as to being favorable or unfavorable, but many still don't know enough to have an opinion."
"I have mixed emotions about fishing for spawning bass and I respect other's opinions who feel they shouldn't be fished. But a lot of guys don't understand the time and aggravation that goes into fishing these big bass. The stars really have to be aligned. Conditions have to be perfect. Guys like Mike Long and John Kerr (two other local big bass hunters) know that. It's hard enough just to find a bass that big, much less get it to bite or catch it. Only the people who have caught and fought these big bass know that."
"Your "I" is not what you think about yourself, but millions of other opinions all together. Your "I" depends on how you adapt to the person in front of you."
"We are satisfied with the meeting with the mufti. We were able to exchange constructive opinions. The conversation was positive on all sides."
"In my opinion, and I think Dave [Duncan, pitching coach] shares this, if we had Al Reyes healthy, then I think Jason would pitch Game 4 just because of the success he's had against Houston -- especially in that ballpark. But we don't have him healthy. And [Marquis] is a force that we think will help us out of the 'pen in a lot of games in an area where we may be a little vulnerable."
"When words become unclear, I shall focus with prayer. When opinions become inadequate, I shall be content with silence..."
