With all that's happened over the last week or so – from the death of Bin Laden to a report showing nearly half of all Americans are struggling due to higher gas prices – that little wedding in London 2 billion of us watched may seem like the distant past; however, I didn't want to miss the opportunity to talk about its magnificent cost – in the middle of a debt crisis that continues to engulf Europe.
Remember all those headlines about fiscal irresponsibility and government waste from Greece to Ireland to Portugal to Great Britain?
The British must not read the papers. Their government just threw a blowout wedding party that would make even Donald Trump jealous.
I know what you're thinking: So what? Surely, the price tag for one measly wedding can't be more than a blip on this already-messy fiscal radar screen, right?
According to the International Monetary Fund, the United Kingdom's gross domestic product is around $2.3 trillion per year. So giving everybody a day off to celebrate the royal wedding costs the British economy about $9 billion.
And we're just getting started:
• Public services and security: $35 million
• Parties and the honeymoon: $20 million
• Bride's dress: $50,000
• Maid of honor's dress: $33,000
Total: $9,055,083,000
That's about 300,000 times what the average American wedding costs: between $25,000 and $30,000.
Friday's bash in London was a nice wedding, horse trip and all. But I'm not sure it was worth $9 billion — more than the total GDP of The Bahamas. I hope Will and Kate send the British people a nice thank-you note, maybe even bring them a souvenir from the honeymoon.
Are you thinking about how much that wedding you just went to in Atlanta cost? Planning on getting married in the next year or so? I've found important (and fun) tool that will help: the Wedding Cost Estimator.

What do you think: Can you still have a "royal" wedding here in the United States for less than $25,000? Is the cost worth the occasion?

We did my daughter's wedding in Feb. (off-month) on a Friday (off-day), including EVERYTHING – dress, tux, DJ, even a full meal at the reception with a choice of meat – for under $8K. The most expensive item (and the only one that was at full retail) was the cake at $475 but it was gorgeous and worth every penny in every bite! The key was doing the wedding when the vendors were starving for business. A less expensive wedding CAN be done… you just have to be willing to do it. If you're willing to cough up the money, there are certainly people out there who are willing to take it!

I don't get it, what a waste. Think of what they could have done with that kind of money. Morons…

My Sister's last wedding (her 5th – ahem) cost around $900.00. Most of the stuff came from Wal-mart and the Dollar Tree. LOL

Go earn your own Money or "Title".

I think your numbers are a bit off. Plus, the bride's parents paid for quite a bit of the wedding items – including the dresses, so since they are multi-millionaires themselves…

I also heard that outside of security, the majority was paid for by the families. So, that number is inflated. Also, if you didn't give the country a day off, the people were going to take it anyway (or at the very least be unproductive at work while watching it) and it would have been a nightmare on the streets.

How much revenue did it bring to the country though? The BritMania that it has caused surely has picked up the "local economy." Think about the $$$ in tourism, memorabilia, and increased production from a higher morale of your citizens to start. Can your $900 wedding do that?
To even compare an average American wedding to a royal ceremony is just stooopid. Mind ya bizness and carry on.
May 9th, 2011

The wedding business is unbelievable. All for one day. It's such a glorified American (and I guess also, non-American) event that is a huge boom for the few suppliers in the industry. The average wedding costs people 10-25K!!!! For one weekend! Too many Americans are about Keeping up with the Jones'. Hopefully nobody bankrupts their retirement to Keep up with the Royal Family!
May 9th, 2011
9:49 am
Of course you're leaving out the benefits. England generates a lot of revenue from tourism and the Royal Wedding was one of the biggest advertisements ever and I doubt they had to pay to get the wedding on the TV.
Also I'm sure not everything shut down. The Hotels were still open and I'm sure the pubs were.
Actually I'd be willing to bet in the long run the Royal wedding gave the English economy a nice boost.
May 9th, 2011
9:54 am
Worth every penny. What you people don't understand is that spending on the wedding didn't take money away from any other cause. If that money wasn't spent on the Royal Wedding, it certainly was not going to be spent vaccinating babies, providing food for the poor, or sending a man into space.

Think about all the money wasted on Charles & Diana when they were only miserable together and got divorced AFTER all the money thrown away on their "wedding."
A wedding does NOT make a marriage.

I totally agree with Ghostrider! What a WASTE of $$$! My parents gave us the choice of a large wedding, or the money they would have spent. We took the money, got married at Decatur courthouse, and used the money for the down payment on our first house. We celebrated later with a party in the new house. More intimate and a lot more fun. No worries or stress, and our friends enjoyed it.

Thanks Granny — My wife and I got Married in Las Vegas April 28th. 1986, we just celebrated our 25th. annv. and it cost less than $1500.00 including airfare. Spending Millons upon Millons does not make a Marriage.

Just like Ghostrider, hubby and I spent $1500(hotel,airfare,wedding) and got married in Vegas. We're still going strong. Unfortunately, most of my friends that had pricey weddings are now divorced or well on their way to divorce.

The $9 billion for the day off – oh well, they can probably catch up over a year, just work harder. There are a few national days off for various holidays anyway. All other expenses are not going anywehere outside of GB. The cost of dress goes to the dressmakers' pockets, the cost of parties to other various party planners and cake cooks, etc. Families of all the workers at the wedding will definitely benefit from that expensive wedding. Instead of the Royal family holding on to this money somewhere on their accounts, they actually benefitted the Brittish economy.

text: content LE Magazine May 1996 Your Personal Life Extension Program Questions and Answers Q I noticed that you offer two separate mineral formulas, one for men and one for women? Could you explain the reasons for the differences between these two formulas? A As women age, their risk of developing osteoporosis increases. Mineral Formula For Women contains potent doses of calcium salts that have been shown to bolster and maintain bone matrix density. Aging men are vulnerable to cardiovascular disease. Mineral Formula For Men contains the potent doses of magnesium salts that have been shown to protect against cardiovascular disease. The Women's formula contains more calcium and less magnesium than the Men's formula, which is higher in magnesium than calcium. Magnesium is required for healthy bone maintainence in addition to calcium and other minerals. Many women take calcium supplements only and, as a result, are at risk for bone density loss due to inadequate magnesium levels. Both Mineral Formulas are available in capsule form because calcium and magnesium often bind so tightly within tablets, that they pass through the digestive tract without breaking down for absorption into the bloodstream. Q Do antioxidants slow the aging process? Are there any other ways to slow aging? Can aging be reversed? A The jury is still out on whether antioxidants slow the aging process. A number of lifespan studies in animals have dietary antioxidants such as BHT, BHA, and ethoxyquin can extend lifespan, but only in short-lived strains of mice, which are prone to develop cancer or autoimmune disease. The failure of dietary antioxidants to extend maximum lifespan in laboratory animals argues against their ability to slow normal aging. However, gerontologists who believe that free radicals play an important role in aging suggest that the proper experiments to prove their theory have yet to be conducted. The originator of the free radical theory of aging, Dr. Denham Harman, of the University of Nebraska Medical Center, for example, believes that free radicals generated in the mitochondria (the power plants of the cell) are key factors in the aging process, and that the dietary antioxidants designed to quench the free radical activity in the mitochondria will be able to extend maximum lifespan in long-lived strains of mice, thus proving that dietary antioxidants can slow normal aging. Richard Cutler, Ph.D. of the National Institute on Aging's Gerontology Research Center in Baltimore, on the other hand, believes that the critical factor in controlling free radical damage is the amount and activity level of endogenous antioxidant enzymes such as superoxide dismutase, catalase, and glutathione peroxidase. Cutler's strategy is to develop methods - either through genetic engineering or enzyme-promoting nutrients and drugs - that raise internal levels of 1 natural antioxidant enzymes. Scientists have theorized that the primary mechanism of action that causes the prolongation of life in calorie restricted animals is reduced free radical activity, but no studies have yet substantiated this hypothesis. Calorie restriction is the only thoroughly documented method of slowing down aging in primates, although body temperature reduction has extended lifespan in annual, cold-blooded fish, and dietary antioxidants and growth factors have extended lifespan in fruit flies 3 and other insects. In recent years, studies have that compounds such as coenzyme- deprenyl, melatonin, Q,, and chromium piccolinate can extend lifespan in both mice and rats, but the extent of their ability to extend maximum lifespan, which reflects the slowing of normal aging, has not yet been determined definitively. The Life Extension Foundation, and other companies and organizations, will soon be funding life-span studies at major university and private laboratories, to pro- vide better evidence regarding the ability of these (and other) compounds to extend lifespan and slow aging in long-lived laboratory mice. These experiments will be the aegis of PROJECT 2020. The Foundation's path- breaking program to control human aging by the year 2020. Some therapies, such as growth hormone and DHEA, have already shown the ability to reverse some of the parameters of aging such as muscle deterioration, mental decline, and loss of coordination. Great anti-aging reversal potential may lie in experiments to pursue the characterization and chemical inhibition of a "death hormone" produced in the pituitary gland. This "death hormone" is supposedly a primary causes of many of the degenerative changes that occur with advancing age, leading inevitably to death. Advances in blocking the deleterious effects of the "death hormone" (and other: breakthrough advances in the control of aging) will continue to be reported first and foremost in the pages of LIFE EXTENSION Magazine. Q How much do you estimate it will cost to achieve PROJECT 2020's goal of total control over human aging? A That's hard to say. The Foundation believes we are very close to major breakthroughs in anti-aging research that will spur tremendous interest in pursuing control of the aging process. Companies such as Geron are develop unique approaches to aging control based upon intervention into the genetic mechanisms of aging, while doctors throughout the world are exploring the anti-aging potential of hormone replacement therapy. We believe that as little as $1 million dollars a year could identify currently available therapies that may already be able to slow aging and extend lifespan right now! It looks as if the expenditure of about a million dollars (by a private company) has already produced compelling evidence of a "death hormone" that could hold the key to control of the aging process. We believe that the expenditure of $10 million dollars a year, if properly directed, could go a long way towards the control of aging within the next decade. We believe that $100 million dollars a year could solve the problem totally within the 25-year period delineated in PROJECT 2020. You can support radical lifespan extending research by purchasing the products sold and recommended by The Life Extension Foundation, and by sending your tax deductible donations to: PROJECT 2020 PO Box 229120 Hollywood, FL 33022-9120 Q I've heard all kinds of answers to the question of what the proper dose of melatonin should be? Even the doctors writing books on melatonin don't seem to be able to recommend the appropriate dosage level of melatonin for sleep. I've also heard that melatonin can slow down aging, but have no idea what dose of melatonin I should take for this purpose. Could you help clear up my confusion over these matters? A If you do not have a sleep problem, the nightly dose of melatonin suggested by some scientists is 500 micrograms (meg) to 1 milligram (mg). Most life extensionist take 3 mg every night because of evidence suggesting that higher amounts of melatonin may be beneficial in enhancing immune function, pre- venting cancer, and slowing aging. For insomnia therapy, 3-10 mg of melatonin nightly usually works. Many people now hold the melatonin under their tongue for more rapid assimilation into the brain. People who wake up at night and can't get back to sleep often take another 3 mg. of melatonin under their tongue help them get to sleep again. Q How do I determine the right dosage levels of life extension therapies for myself? On a number of occasions I've found that the recommended dose of a particular nutrient, drug, or hormone is not best for me. I've heard that I should be tested to determine how much of a substance to take, but I don't know what tests to undergo, where these tests are available, and how they should be evaluated. Can you help me? A Some people determine their intake of antioxidant nutrients based upon their weight. Those weighing less than 150 - 160 pounds take less than the recommended dosage, while those weighing more than 200 pounds take more than the recommended dosage. We do not believe there are reliable blood tests to monitor serum antioxidant levels, though many commercial labs are now aggressively promoting such tests. We suggest that all Foundation members obtain a low cost blood count blood chemistry battery of tests every year to make sure their serum cholesterol, triglyceride, glucose, iron, thyroid, liver and kidney function measurements are all within safe ranges. Anyone taking hormone replacement therapy such as DHEA should certainly have their serum DHEA levels evaluated to make sure their DHEA levels are at the level of a healthy 21-year-old (neither too high, nor too low). We 1 suggest a DHEA test within 4-6 weeks of beginning DHEA replacement therapy, and then every three months until a stable DHEA baseline is established. Any of these tests can be requested by your doctor. We now have listings for about 1,000 innovative doctors around the country who are more willing than conventional doctors to prescribe our blood testing protocols. Q How do you know that following a life extension program is beneficial? What evidence is there that taking life extension therapies can help to prevent diseases or extend lifespan? Have you heard from Foundation members about the results they have been getting with their programs? A All recommendations made by The Life Extension Foundation are based upon peer reviewed scientific studies combined with interviews with research scientists, clinical physicians, and people who have actually used these therapies, and reports of scientific presentations made at meetings, seminars, and conferences. We hear from hundreds of Foundation members every day on the phone, or through the mail, who tell us about the results (or lack of results) they experience with the protocols we recommend. We adjust our recommendations based on the responses we receive from our members as well as from published findings in the scientific literature. Q When was The Life Extension Foundation started? What are its goals? How close is The Foundation to achieving these goals? A The Foundation was started in 1980 as a nonprofit, tax-exempt organization dedicated to the extension of the healthy human lifespan. Extending lifespan has been the central, unwavering goal of The Foundation throughout its existence. We believe that a longer, healthier lifespan is of inestimable value for individuals who love and enjoy life. We also believe that extending the length of healthy productive life of Americans would do more to help solve the nation's social and economic problems than any other scientific or medical advance. We think we've made significant progress towards our goal of controlling human aging in the past 16 years, but we also know that we have a very long way to go before we achieve our goal. The Foundation has begun to develop products with mass market potential such as Natural SleepTM and Natural SexTM in order to reach as many people as possible throughout the world. We've also been reaching out via radio and TV to inform people of the value of our message, as well as the boldness and excitement of our programs. We think we can gain total control over human aging by the year 2020, but, even if that proves not to be possible, we are extremely confident that aging control can be achieved at some point in the 21st century. The sooner the better! Back to the Magazine Forum

Through its three departments, Curriculum and Instruction (CI), Counseling, Leadership, Adult Education, and School Psychology (CLAS), and Health, and Human Performance (HHP), the College of Education prepares teachers, principals, superintendents, school counselors, school psychologists, diagnosticians, as well as professionals in health, exercise science, sports management, recreation and leisure services. The College of Education also prepares students for careers in the mental health fields of professional counseling and marriage and family therapy.
As a premier professional school, Texas State University's College of Education is dedicated to enhancing human potential for all through excellent teaching, relevant scholarship, and community engagement.

Texas State University has received from NASA a five-year, $15 million grant award – the largest ever received by the University – to implement the NASA STEM Education Constellation, a unique program that will provide professional development based on NASA-related science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) content to over 400,000 educators across the nation. As she announced the award at the University Convocation on August 22, 2014, Texas State University President Denise M. Trauth said, "Clearly, a $15 million grant is a big deal and it demonstrates the innovation and energy our people have in the pursuit of excellence."
NASA's solicitation for this grant challenged Minority-Serving Institutions to propose innovative ways to enhance the content and delivery of STEM-related educator professional development (EDP). In response to this challenge, Dr. Araceli Ortiz, Director of the LBJ Institute for STEM Education and Research, assembled and led a team of faculty from the College of Education and the College of Science and Engineering, adding strategic partners from across the country. The result of their work is the winning proposal among 20 submissions; a proposal that, according to NASA reviewers, "clearly outlined a novel and completely new idea" for delivering high quality EDP on behalf of NASA and reflected "sensitivity and commitment" to cultural and geographic diversity as well as to "underrepresented and underserved communities."
Dr. Stan Carpenter, Dean of the College of Education, said, "This award is a game-changer for the University and for our College, which is fitting because the legacy of Texas State University resides in the College of Education. It began 111 years ago when Southwest Texas State Normal School opened its doors for the specific purpose of preparing new teachers. Now, over a century later, this grant positions us as a major player in moving teacher education and professional development into the 21st Century."

As part of the university Common Experience the Round Rock campus of Texas State University, will celebrate the fortitude and courage of individuals who experienced segregated schools. A panel discussion with individuals who "lived" the history of school integration in Round Rock and its surrounding areas will be a part of event. Four individuals who graduated and/or attended racially segregated schools and who were some of the first individuals to attend integrated schools will discuss their experiences and the impact such education had on their futures. In addition, the Hopewell Middle School choir will perform and children's art will be displayed around our university's Common Experience theme of "Democracy's Promise."
This event will investigate the history of social justice in our Round Rock community and, we hope, cause participants to raise important questions about power and equity today in racially and culturally diverse settings.

Dr. Lori Assaf lead the first annual South African Study Abroad Course in Chintsa, South Africa, with five students and two classroom teachers. During their time in Chintsa, Dr. Assaf and her students worked with over 120 students (grades 4-8) in two township schools teaching them how to write a "Where I'm From" poem then turning their poems into digital stories. At the same time, they studied a variety of issues related to literacy instruction, the apartheid, Bantu education, teaching English to language learners, and a socio-cultural, ecological view of literacy and learning (lifetime learning). Graduate students in the course completed an ethnography on one school and its' issues and the undergraduate students completed interviews and case studies on one teacher in the community and read a variety of articles on South African education and literacy learning. In addition to their academic work, they had the opportunity to visit the Transkei and Nelson Mandela's home village. They also hiked, camped, and swam among the migrating whales!
While in Africa, Dr. Assaf co-directed the KwaZulu-Natal University Winter Writing Institute with Dr. Liz Ralfe, a colleague from the university and fellow National Writing Project Director. The work was sponsored by the National Writing Project and the U.S. Embassy. Based on this work, Dr. Assaf is conducting an impact study with nine classroom teachers who attended the writing institute as well as with two other directors (one in Cape Town and one in Limpopo) who are also collecting data on teachers' learning and transfer of knowledge into the classroom. She will be returning to South Africa in October to collect classroom observations and serve as a keynote speaker for the Reading Association of South Africa (RASA) in Durban, discussing her research findings and the importance of being a writing mentor for students.

School Psychologists Using Psychology and Education to Reach Bilinguals (Project SUPERB)
To address a shortage of bilingual school psychologists, graduate students in the School Psychology program will be prepared with specialized course work, supervised bilingual field experiences at our partner sites, and opportunities to build professional Spanish vocabulary in the areas of education and psychology. Upon completion of the program, participants receive a program-issued certificate in bilingual school psychology. Program faculty have applied for Federal funding to support students through the Office of Special Education Programs (OSEP). For more information, visit:
Participants receive a stipend of $35,000, paid out over the course of 12 months in exchange for a three-year commitment (not including the residency year) to teach in an approved critical shortage area within the program's partner local school district(s). In addition, participants receive a personal laptop to facilitate coursework and residency expectations.
The TEACH Grant program was created to assist students that are seeking degrees in high-need fields and anticipate teaching in those fields at the secondary or elementary level.
Students that choose to participate in this program must agree to serve as a full-time teacher in a high-need field in a public or private elementary or secondary school that serves low-income students.

She said, "It may be beautiful for you, but Christianity, Judaism, the whole West, uses the word in a very derogatory sense."
I said, "I was not aware of it. That means now I have to use it for myself. The word has to be freed from these criminals and their hands. They have destroyed a beautiful word."
Once the pagan existed on the earth and he was as happy as any other animal; he knew nothing of misery. He loved, he lived, never bothering about ultimate questions and problems. He enjoyed eating, drinking - the simple things of life, not making everything a problem. The pagans have disappeared from the world. Religions destroyed them everywhere, all over the world.
All the religions have been against the pagans because if pagans exist then there is no possibility for religions. They cannot coexist because the pagan is not interested in what happens after death. He is not interested in what happened before birth.
He says, "Between birth and death, it is so much just to live. First let me finish this - don't bring in unnecessary things to waste my time. Right now I am in the middle of life, let me live it. When I am in death I will try to live it too, but why should I bother about death now? - because I don't remember ever bothering about life before. Right now life is in my hands, and I want to squeeze the whole juice out of it."
I am reminded of a beautiful story; it is so beautiful that one wants.. It would have been good if it was true too; but it is very close to truth.
In paradise, in a restaurant, Jesus, Buddha, Confucius, Lao Tzu, all four are sitting gospeling. And then an apsara, a beautiful dance girl, comes dancing with a flask in her hands - it is full of wine - looks at them and says, "You are talking about life, and listening to you talk about life I wondered.. Life is available here in this restaurant; that's our special recipe. We make life, the juice called life. I have brought this flask. There is no need to discuss it, why don't you drink, taste it?"
Buddha immediately closed his eyes. He said "Birth is pain, death is pain, and between two pains there is no possibility of life being bliss. I don't even want to see it."
Jesus looked at the girl and told her, "Life is born in sin, and you are trying to tempt us? You must belong to the devil. Get out of my sight!"
Confucius was more human; he said, "I cannot be like these two guys; they are against life. I am a pragmatist." Confucius made China one of the most pragmatic countries, very practical. He said, "I am a practical man. I cannot say anything without tasting - give me a little taste of the juice you call life." He tasted it a little, gave the cup back and said, "No, it is bitter. Those two fellows are right."

St. Mary's daily Masses move to activity center
Date: June 10, 2009
by: Robin Hartill | Community Editor
St. Mary, Star of the Sea, Catholic Church is currently undergoing minor renovations, but the updates aren't making a dent in the church's Mass schedule.
Work began approximately two weeks ago, and, since then, the church's daily Masses, which take place at 9 a.m. Monday through Friday, have moved into the Stella Maris Activity Center. Weekend Masses, which are held at 5 p.m. Saturdays and 8:30 and 10:30 a.m. Sundays, are held in the church.
According to the Rev. Gerard Finegan, the renovations consist mostly of painting and installing closet space and are limited to the main office and sacristy. The church moved weekday services to avoid noise interruptions.
"Rather than listening to the banging, Mass is in the activity center," Finegan said.
Finegan estimated that work will continue for another two to three weeks.
For information, contact the church at 383-1255.

There is no doubt that expert technology consultants working for IT spend a great deal of their working hours interacting with technology. This does not mean, however, that IT consultants do not benefit from the 'personal touch'. Indeed, establishing a strong relationship with the IT consultants providing advice and support to your company is a key element in making that relationship as successful as possible. IT consulting is best when there is frequent and open communication between consultant and client.
The time to begin establishing a strong relationship with an IT consultant is during the selection process. Many IT support companies have multiple consultants on staff. Administrators or managers should consider meeting with several of them in person in order to begin establishing rapport. This process may also help businesses get a feel for which individuals will be best able to fit into the corporate culture in question. It may also be helpful for those who will have to work closely with a consultant to be included in any preliminary meet-ups.
Once a business has contracted with a specific IT consultant, it is essential that the consultant be introduced to all company employees who may interact with him or her. All too often, the consultant is brought in and immediately shown to his or her office so that work can commence. This impedes a smooth flow of communication at best and at worst, may make a consultant feel unwelcome. Even better than introductions is a question-and-answer session, so that staff and consultant can be on the same page.

The Department of Natural Resources survey shows a minimum of 658 to 687 wolves across the state while in 2013 the count was 809 to 834. While the numbers are down, DNR large carnivore specialist David McFarland says the wolf population is still nearly double the current goal of 350 and over six times the federal delisting goal of 100 wolves for Wisconsin and the Upper Peninsula of Michigan. The data will be used in determining the goals for wolf quotas during the next hunt.

Google buys Zagat in local push; vies with Yelp
The Zagat guides use customer opinion polls and published reviews to help compile their guides to local restaurants.
Thu, Sep 08, 2011 at 11:52 AM
LOS ANGELES - Google Inc has bought Zagat, the popular restaurant recommendations and ratings authority, to expand its local content in the niche marketplace that includes Yelp and Yahoo Inc.
Google said the 32-year-old Zagat, which polls consumers and compiles reviews on restaurants around the world, will become a cornerstone of its "local offering" and work in tandem with its mapping services and core search engine.
Founded by Tim and Nina Zagat, their eponymous service provides pocket-sized guides to restaurants in more than 100 cities. It may be one of the earliest forms of user-generated content, Google Vice President Marissa Mayer said in a blogpost on Thursday.
"We are thrilled to see our baby placed in such good hands and to start today as official 'Googlers,'" the founders said in a joint statement.
Zagat will go up against competing services popular with users on the Internet, including Yelp.

Besides not feeling well in the beginning of the past week, it started out as any other; I was doing well and then everything happened at once.
Both, my shoulder and ankle started to hurt, but I'm chalking that up to working out so much.
The boyfriend left this past weekend for his first load driving to Tennessee in a semi-truck, so I'm dealing with the haywire emotions that come with the beginning of him being on the road.
Dieting and working out will be easier now, though. Since he doesn't eat vegetables and I love them, I just have to shop for me now!
I'm trying to throw myself into this 200 percent, but this past week was just a little difficult.
Along with my 4 Curves workouts, I'm going to make myself walk every day this week. Hopefully I can finish "Week 1 – Day 1 of Couch to 5K." I've made attempts, but have yet to get through it.
Oh and Zumba Thursday's are AWESOME!!!!!! It left me sore as all get out, but it was still awesome!! :-)
I truly hope I will succeed at this. I don't want to fail! I can't fail! and I don't think my support system will let me (even with one of them being 11 hours away).
My wishes for my fellow contestants are that they are having an easier time than I am. Don't worry, I'll catch up with y'all!

Article Date: 24-April-2012
Alderwood (5/2) battled hard under A.P. McCoy to win the first Grade 1 contest at the 2012 Punchestown Festival to fight off Trifolium and take the Evening Herald Champion Novice Hurdle by half a length.
The Tom Mullins-trained eight-year-old, carrying J P McManus's colours, was completing a three-timer having won a Grade 2 novice hurdle at Fairyhouse and the Vincent O'Brien County Handicap Hurdle at Cheltenham on his last two starts.
"I thought we would have to settle for third place turning for home but he fought it out after the last," said Mullins. "I did give him a break after September so that we could come back for these festivals. The main target was Cheltenham and that came off, so what has happened since is out of this world. To win a Grade 1 anywhere is special, but particularly at Punchestown.
"I haven't done much with him since Fairyhouse, he did a small breeze five days ago, but that's it. I don't think this victory changes our plans - he will still go chasing next year. There are plenty of good horses with J P (McManus) so there are horses for everything. I will talk to Frank (Berry) again, but everyone who rides Alderwood says he will make a lovely chaser so we will see where the summer takes us."
Owner J P McManus added: "Alderwood is a tough horse. It looked like he had it all to do when Davy (Russell) went past him on Trifolium, but he has done it well and is a good sort. He has a wonderful constitution and in fairness to Tom Mullins, he had him looking wonderful today. I thought we were in trouble turning in, but on the run to the last I was hopeful as Alderwood was responding and Davy was hard at work so anything could happen. What more do I need to say about A P McCoy, he is one in a million."
McCoy added: "I think that he was improving for winning. I rode him over two and a half miles at Leopardstown, when I just felt that he was a bit keen and he might be better off in a strongly-run two-mile race. Luckily, myself and Tom suggested the County Hurdle rather than the Coral Cup at Cheltenham and it worked out. I actually genuinely think that the horse has got confidence from winning. I think that he has improved mentally for winning as much as physically. As crazy is it sounds, I think that he knows that he has won.
"I am not saying that he is a really good horse yet but all good horses seem to jump and go in any ground. This horse seems to be the same - he loves jumping, which makes a jockey's job very easy, and he keeps responding for you. He has a great will to win and keeps trying to please you. I keep saying that horses are like people - some of them want to please you more than others.
"They went a nice gallop and I gradually quickened on my horse. Davy was able to quicken a bit better than me but I knew that my lad would stay the trip out well and he did that. My lad may have outstayed anything, whatever way the race panned out. When I rode him at Leopardstown before Cheltenham, I dropped him in and he was a bit keen. That's why I thought that the County Hurdle would suit him because I thought that he would travel off a really strong gallop over two miles. For a horse to win the County Hurdle, they normally have to stay two and half miles, so he must stay fairly well."
Punchestown has been a happy hunting ground for trainer Philip Hobbs and he pulled off a great training performance when returning Snap Tie (16/1) from a 921-day break to win the Boylesports.com Official Betting Partner to the Irish Soccer Team Handicap Hurdle under top-weight of 11st 9lb.
"It's amazing after two and a half years to come back and do that," said Hobbs. "Especially at the age of 10 to carry top weight and on ground we thought he didn't like. When he won his novice chase at Cheltenham a couple of years ago, he had a suspensory problem then he had a recurrence just over a year ago so had to step back again. He had a hiccup and had to miss Cheltenham this year and after that the plan was to come here. He won his only start over fences so we couldn't go for novice chases and I'd like to run him again somewhere, maybe in the Swinton Hurdle at Haydock or I think there is a race over two and a half miles at Aintree in May."
Winning jockey Richard Johnson added: "It's a massive credit to Philip Hobbs and the yard to get this horse back. He was going to run in the County Hurdle last year before going wrong the week before and he has been so patient with him. The plan was the County Hurdle this year, but it has ended up being here instead.
"It's fantastic to get a horse like Snap Tie back and to win at a big festival, it's just a brilliant performance.
"The race panned out well, he was seventh in a Champion Hurdle and placed in a Supreme Novices' Hurdle, so I was able to travel through the race. He is a horse with a lot of ability and hopefully he still retains most of it. The handicapper has given him a chance after such a long time off which is great.
"The only worry during the race was approaching the first down the back where a horse jumped across him and gave him quite a hard bump which nearly knocked him over. But other than that he has jumped, travelled and taken me to the front turning in, but one thing I knew he would do is stay.
"The ground is definitely heavy in places, but is mainly soft."
Local trainer Peter Maher saddled Big Shu (8/1) to win the opening Kildare Hunt Club Fr Sean Breen Memorial Chase for the Ladies Perpetual Cup but he will be keeping the celebrations to a minimum tonight.
"I'm coming out of retirement to ride in the farmers' race (the KFM Hunters Chase for the Bishopcourt Cup) on Friday on a horse I got from Arthur Moore (Havagoodsip) so I won't be celebrating too much," said Maher.
"There's no feeling like winning here and I've got Barry Cash to thank for schooling this horse, a lot of it is down to him."

Almost everyone Cinelândia square knows. Some may even know that the region won the affectionate nickname in 1920, by which time housed the best cinemas of the city. But few know his name Marechal Floriano Square: official.
The square was born and grew up after the Francisco Serrador project Spanish: a block of shops, offices and cinemas-4 at the time of the most modern rooms. The offices and shops are still present, only the cinemas already Odeon survives, imposing and with a special programming!
The region also deserves special attention by its architecture. In his outline, the majority of the building still maintains the same facade construction. In addition, beautiful palaces located in praça give rise to the Municipal Theatre, the National Museum of fine arts, the National Library and the House of Councillors, which transforms the square numerous times on the stage of political claims.

China-Africa's Emerging Economic Links: A review under the Core-Periphery perspective
AbstractThis essay has explored the validity of Marxist dependency theories in the context of the emerging China-Africa trade and economic relations. Whereas dependency theory assumes that economic domination runs across north-south geoeconomic patterns, this discussion has shown that the China-Africa economic links represent a distinct south-south dialectic occurring in an emerging new global economic configuration marked by a technology gap. Therefore, the discussion fails to support the idea that China's involvement in Africa is of a conventional center-periphery type; which suggests the existence of nonexploitative, tough dependent, trade features. This dependence implies that external factors and decisions (included those related to China) also determine the real level of development in the Africa. Also worth mentioning is that for the first time Africa is drastically shifting its trade pattern away from its colonial framework: it too is becoming linked to a rapidly changing economy. Such a shift means that China's own constant economic and social structural changes make it easy for Africa to adjust to the emerging new global economic order. At the same time, the China-Africa relationship is marked by unavoidable dialectic tensions like labor and competition issues. Even though synergies can be created by considering China's legitimate interests in Africa and Africa's own legitimate rights, no matter how well-intentioned China is, Africa must still generate its own technological capacities and rid itself of its legendary rampant corruption. Thus, both sides must admit that there will be no long-run benefit unless each contributes to the emergence of a new economic configuration that is deeply rooted not in mutual but in common or joint interests.

Metro Newsroom
LouisvilleKY.gov Links
Friday August 9, 2013
For Immediate Release:Democratic Caucus Louisville Metro CouncilContact: Tony Hyatt 574-4137 / 526-3622Louisville – Councilman Tom Owen (D-8) has released the following statement on the Metro Council action on the Willow Grande project:
"My silence on the controversial Willow Grande rezoning in my Council district has been viewed as failed leadership by those adamantly opposed to the hi-rise condo project. I removed myself from deliberation on the case because of a clear personal conflict of interest that would, at the very least, create the perception of impropriety. My duty to protect the integrity of the rezoning process—especially if the case is appealed-- greatly outweighed my duty as the legislative representative for Council District 8.
Now that my Council colleagues have voted on the Willow Grande, citizens across Metro need to hear from me. First, I believe that "city folks" should not be allowed the luxury of condemning suburban sprawl while refusing to allow somewhat denser and taller residences in their neighborhoods. Long-standing neighborhood plans—adopted in the Cherokee Triangle's case in 1989—should be viewed as guides for planners, developers, and land-use panels not as unwavering dogma that makes urban neighborhoods "stay the same" for centuries.
In the case of the Willow Grande, the opposition over-and-over supported demolition of the existing Bordeaux Apartments but their compromise on new construction on the site seemed limited unrealistically to three stories. I believe a tall residence similar in height to the Dartmouth condo directly across Barringer Avenue and uniquely positioned in a row of existing hi-rises trailing down Willow Avenue would prove to be a significant asset to the neighborhood.
Last night, my Council colleagues sought a compromise of this divisive issue challenging the Planning Commission to seek a development plan calling for a somewhat shorter building that would take up less of the lot. They changed the zoning at Willow and Barringer Avenues but directed the Commission to initiate conversations between the developer and opposition knowing that any new development plan must be recommended to the Council for approval.
I reject those voices that accuse the Council of being swayed by "wealth and power" and deaf to the will of neighborhoods. In my judgment, my colleagues last night signaled hope for a broader range of housing in our older neighborhoods which will inevitably slow the march to the suburbs. In addition, the tortured, three year journey of the Willow Grande rezoning case asks us all whether neighborhood plans are guides for future development or unwavering dogma. Sponsor:Tom Owen (D) 8

Electronic Frontier Foundation :: A New York judge's broad opinion, ordering Twitter to comply with a subpoena (PDF) and turn over account information about one of its users arrested for disorderly conduct in connection with an Occupy Wall Street protest, is worse the deeper you dig into it. The judge ruled (PDF) that the user, Malcolm Harris, lost ownership of his tweets once he posted them online, and therefore had no legal standing to challenge the subpoena. This decision prompted several worried responses, including our own, because our Fourth Amendment privacy rights should not be surrendered simply because we use online service providers that store information remotely. Even Twitter stepped in to defend Harris, filing a motion to quash (PDF) the subpoena.

More complex, Themes can be used to not only change the underlying image but also rearrange the buttons on the browser header and even add new ones. There are far fewer Themes than Personas from which to choose, but they offer a wider range of goals. The Full Flat theme, for example, simplifies the browser header, while Mythical Sirens Summer Night fills your screen with electric colors. For those who miss the browsers from the 1990s, you can have all of the latest HTML5 features Firefox has to offer in a nostalgiac, old-school wrapper.
Chrome can also be easily redesigned with the help of any of the hundreds of themes available from Google's Themes Gallery. (There are many third-party directories to choose from on the Web as well.) Tastes vary, and there are options to match. The architects Venturi, Scott and Brown, Mariah Carey's management team, and Donna Karan have all rolled their own.
Google's Theme Creation Guide shows how to build your own theme from a pile of images. Google's mechanism is much more involved than Firefox's simple Persona methodology, and you will need to edit hundreds of images to cover cases such as when the user invokes Incognito mode. Any good theme should shift to handle a wide variety of contingenices.
Step 3 to a better Web browser: Tailor the browser to suit your surfing habits
When you need to organize browser tabs with some intelligence, Personas and Themes just don't go far enough. For that, Firefox add-on developers offer more than 400 packages devoted to automating tabs. They've also developed more than 1,200 ways to add and customize toolbars, and nearly 1,000 more add-ons for fiddling with bookmarks. And then there's the thousand-plus packages devoted to the appearance of your browser. Many of these offer similar versions for browsers other than Firefox.
It's hard to summarize such a diverse collection. Many, such as ColorfulTabs, just add colors or cosmetic touches to organize the controls. Cooliris, as mentioned above, takes content and displays it on an infinite wall in three dimensions.
AmazonAssist, eBay Sidebar, and eBayBuddy show how developers are tuning browsers to particular merchants. In some cases, the developers of these plug-ins ask for donations; in others, they make money from affiliate fees.

(WHAS11) - Living a green, Earth-friendly lifestyle is getting easier around Kentuckiana as more and more "Green" stores are opening up. Over the last year, several new shops have opened up and WHAS11's Ben Pine has another name to add to the list in our Project Green Report.
The new store is called Earthen Nirvana and it's located in Crescent Hill.
You can go in, learn to go green, and also just lounge around.
Store owner Matt Martin wants to teach you how to "Reduce, Recycle, and Reinvent the World" by conserving and going green.
Martin says it's a new Earth-friendly business model.
"Your primary focus is not the retail; your primary focus is the education. The retail is there to hopefully just pay for the free education, so if it sustains itself, which is what we're focusing on anyway, we can be sustainable just like we are trying to teach people to be," says Martin.
Earthen Nirvana is made up of three rooms, and if you have time, Matt wants you to learn about ways to go green and to lead you to a sustainable lifestyle, they've got comfortable chairs, the television, and the computer for training.
In the midst of your education, you can always take a break to the back room, relax a little bit, this is the lounge where you can shoot pool, throw some darts, and grab a cup of coffee.
And if you decide to make things change towards a greener lifestyle, you can stop at the store up front, the third room, and take a look at some of the conservation products.
Martin says, "We try to make sure that every aspect of your home gets covered in one way or another."
The retail room carries green items that are tough to find elsewhere, from toilet tank banks to solar battery chargers. And, according to Martin, they have the largest L.E.D. light selection in the city.
Martin says his goal is "to reach as many people as I possibly can and get people to understand when they're wasting things, and hopefully make this place, make Louisville a better city to live in."
But for now he just hopes to keep teaching sustainability for as long as he can.
Visit Earthen Nirvana at 3310 Frankfort Avenue.

Essential Foods for Women
Power foods and smart snacks for every lifestage
- Salad: Tossing together a variety of greens (romaine and spinach are rich in vitamin A and folate, while iceberg has fiber), along with tomatoes, carrots, and cucumbers, is the smartest way to sneak vegetables into your diet, explains Joan Salge Blake, a clinical assistant professor of nutrition at Boston University. According to the National Institutes of Health, getting at least three servings of veggies a day can reduce your risk of cancer, heart disease, and diabetes. (Just be sure to take it easy on high-calorie dressing!)
- Peanut Butter: Don't feel guilty for snacking on a spoonful of peanut butter. Peanut butter is chock full of protein, fiber, zinc, and vitamin E. It also contains mostly unsaturated fat, which lowers both total and LDL ("bad") cholesterol. "Peanut butter and jelly on whole-wheat bread with a glass of skim milk is a perfect meal," says Therese Franzese, director of nutrition at Chelsea Piers Sports and Entertainment Complex, in New York City. But don't go for the reduced-fat version. "The fat is replaced with sugar, so it has the same calories as the regular stuff," Franzese explains.
- Sweet Potatoes: These spuds—which are available year round—should be a staple in your diet, not simply a holiday treat. They're an excellent source of potassium, fiber, vitamin C, and cancer-fighting antioxidants such as beta-carotene.
- Whole-Grain Cereal: One bowl of fortified cereal typically supplies 10 or more vitamins and minerals, as well as complex carbohydrates (for energy), disease-fighting phytochemicals—non-nutrient plant chemicals that help prevent disease. Choose cereals with at least five grams of fiber per bowl.
- Lean Red Meat: Women, especially those who have given birth within the last two years, are at risk for low iron levels, which can lead to anemia. Red meat is an excellent source of iron that's easily absorbed by the body. Stick with lean cuts—anything with loin or round in the name—for their lower saturated-fat content, and eat no more than one 2-ounce serving (about the size of your palm) each day.

An emergency situation has been declared after a driver was killed when his truck plunged onto the railroad tracks below the Jasinski Overpass near the Sample and Olive St. intersection on Sunday.
Michael Strantz, 53, was driving east on Sample when his car left the road, went between a guardrail and fence then toppled over the bridge falling over 30 ft.
A memorial to Strantz is now in place there.
The damage is still visible, and St. Joseph County Commissioners have authorized repairs on the overpass.
In the meantime, temporary steps may be taken to repair the sidewalk and fence before permanent repairs are made.
Authorities are looking into the possibility that a medical episode may have caused the crash.
