The UK financial services regulator, the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA), has launched a guidance consultation in order to clarify and confirm its approach to the supervision of financial promotions in social media, including the use of character-limited forms (Examples of character-limited formats are Twitter (which limits tweets to 120 characters) and Vine (which limits videos to six-second loops).
The FCA has identified an increase in the use of character-limited social media (and social media generally) and warned of confusion among firms over the inclusion of regulatory information such as risk warnings (in compliance with the financial promotion rules) when communicating through social sites such as Twitter, Pinterest and Vine. And, as the FCA makes clear, every communication (e.g. each tweet, Facebook page or insertion) must be considered individually and comply with the relevant rules.
The requirement for financial products to be fair and not misleading means consumers should have an appreciation of the relevant risks (through risk warnings) as well as the benefits of a particular product. The FCA's recommendations include not promoting more complex financial products through social media channels, and using embedded infographics to include relevant information. The FCA also confirms that use of the hashtag #ad is an acceptable way of complying with the rule that financial promotions for investment products are identifiable as such.
The FCA does not wish to block social media use but requires firms to adhere to existing guidelines. According to Clive Adamson, FCA director of supervision, the "FCA sees positive benefits from using social media but there has to be an element of compliance" and "financial promotions, whether on social media or traditional media, should be fair, clear and not misleading."
The FCA's consultation, which will close on 6 November this year, seeks feedback from firms on its proposed guidance. Feedback may be sent by email, or by post to Richard Lawes, Financial Promotions Team, The Financial Conduct Authority, 25 The North Colonnade, London E14 5HS. The FCA is also planning to commission research to better understand how consumers receive, use, and contextualise financial promotions via social media communications.
The FCA is not new to social media by any means. It published an update on financial promotions using new media in June 2010; it has deployed teams to monitor and engage with Twitter users; and it uses Salesforce.com's Radian6 application to mine data on social media platforms and to spot general trends.
Some of parts of the proposed guidance are also be relevant to broadcast and print media.

All eyes at the Consumer Electronics Show will be on Google, Apple and Microsoft
The Microsoft question
The world's biggest software company and main CES supporter kicks off the event with a keynote from chief executive Steve Ballmer, his second after taking over for the retired Bill Gates. Microsoft is floundering in the mobile phone business and has lost some of its momentum in video games to Nintendo and a resurgent Sony. Rumours emerged last week that the company is looking to tie its video game and mobile phone strategies together. CES could also provide Microsoft with an opportunity to make some concrete announcements regarding Project Natal, the prototype motion-controlled video game system it showed off last summer.

Mercedes-Benz ML500 QuestionsRefine by vehicle
I have the brake light repair kit already installed and still not working I replaced the turn signal bulb socket and light bulb as well.
Replace Sam module 1 month ago n rear windows will not go down n head lamps will not work
I am replacing the brake pressure sensor to stop the bas esp light from coming on.
wan to buy a fairly used transmission for my ml500 mercedes
when driving slow speed my bas esp light comes on thin my brakes lock up why i am brakes driving
The dashboard doesn't light up, and the gauges don't move... So I'm wondering if it's quite possibly a "Fuse box issue", or maybe a "battery" issue (but it's DEFINITELY an electrical issue)
First time problem.
while driving cruise control stopped working. got home, parked car, went to put in garage later and now car won't go into gear. esp light came on several days ago. but went off.
Last week I noticed my air didn't seem to be working as it usually does. Then the other night I noticed my windows were very fogged over when they shouldn't have been. Today I noticed why they were foggy, the ac is blowing on the windshield. The setting are set to blow out the front facing vents. Also at one point the air wouldn't blow at all. Then just can back on a while later. It has a new fan that was put in this past summer (June sometime).
Recently purchased 2006 ml500 with low miles. Rear suspension seams to "bounce" 3-4 times after every bump in the road.
The fan was recently replaced
It was running fine, now it's making a ticking sound and had slow acceleration.
I have been having lack of acceleration.. first i had all coil packs wires and spark plugs changed. New fuel pump. New crankshaft position sensor..n last my converters checked n new pipes. Nothing has changed this problem... drive for a good 15 minutes then the lacking start floor it and nothing happens.... i have to search for a good acceleration in pedal someone help please.
The horn blowing problem developed after having the vehicle serviced and new brakes installed. It was returned to the dealer to diagnose this and a problem with the brake wear light and coolant light illuminating and they replaced a faulty brake sensor & tested the coolant system for leaks finding nothing. We were told they took apart the horn assembly but after picking up the vehicle and driving less than 1/4 mile & coming to a stop, the horn blew and then did it again during a right turn. So far the brake and coolant lights are still off, we're keeping our fingers crossed on both these issues but frustrated with the horn because it could cause problems in traffic or distract other drivers. FYI the vehicle has been at a MB dealer 2 weeks out of the past 3 weeks to address these problems.
I looked in the fuse box under the hood and there is no listing for it, also looked in the passenger side kick panel, no listing for it there either.
Its hard to explain, but I almost thought it was in the drive train at first, but that's not the case. its like it's out of tune when i accelerate. not missing or anything but just dull.
Seems to be from the engine itself, but i cant be certain.
If i purchase a key online can the dealer cut and program the new key at what cost???
my ml500 has been shaken the fuel pump coil packs and wires has been changed ran for a couple days now its stil shaken and when in drive drives slugish
first air conditioner could not be turned off and mechanic indicated a fuse problem and removed it, worked for a while then stopped when heater was turned on it blows cold air.
Has lots of V-8 punch at cold startup, then it is slow to respond to accelerator after warmup.

'Despite coming up against an All Black test, the America's Cup once again galvanised public opinion, led the prime time TV news - and the new cycle isn't even a week old.'
'But should we be surprised, after all the last America's Cup pulled the biggest TV audience ever for a sporting event in New Zealand - with over a quarter of the NZ population watching. Sailing has a huge audience, our own Sail-World NZL is by far the most watched single sport website in Kiwi-land. Miles ahead of Rugby and Netball.'
Gladwell continues 'The themes, this time, are your classical America's Cup lines. A US billionaire, running a team led by one of NZ's most loved/despised sons, and a Knight of the Realm to boot and a bunch of Australian hired guns.'
'They're up against the home team portrayed as bunch of bloodied Kiwi battlers, who'd just been handed the latest set of lopsided rules, designed to clean them out of the competition, if they didn't go broke first.'
'Most Kiwi media can relate to the scenarios that spin from those storylines, and duly obliged.'
'Oracle Team USA opened up the battle on three fronts - announcing a Protocol that gave an advantage to the Defender like they had never had before.'
'Next they picked a fight with the world controlling body of sailing, the International Sailing Federation, by virtually cutting them out of the first edition, and putting the America's Cup above the dictates of the ISAF.'
'And then there is the battle to be the next venue. Who will pay how much and give what concessions in what has become known the Commercial Cup. Our information is that San Francisco is in serious trouble - but that was predictable from the outset.'
Oracle Team USA have gone on the offensive with Jimmy Spithills's attack on Team New Zealand management, launched on Friday morning breakfast TV news in NZ. Grant Dalton followed up with an hour long radio interview on Sunday afternoon. We have both interviews in this edition.
Then Russell Coutts let go on Facebook, with a series of five questions for Kiwi fans on why it was OK for Oracle to have two boats to the Challenger's one each. Of course, he omitted to explain why the Defender needed to have two boats AND sail in the Challenger Selection Series, but that is par for the America's Cup.
Yes, it's definitely game-on in the 35th America's Cup - we have all the action in this edition of Sail-World, and carry the ongoing news on our website www.sail-world.com
And having finished reading that, you can see lots of news about Australian's competing on the world stage and on the Oz scene.

|Property type
|Minimum Stay
|5 - 7 nights
This great villa, completed in 2009 and featured in February 2010's 'A Place in The Sun' magazine, is situated on a large private plot on a modern development with views over the nature reserve.
It has a private pool (6m x 4m) and sleeps 6. There are 3 beautiful bedrooms – a double and 2 twins (with wooden floors and large balconies). The spacious open plan living/dining area is furnished in a contemporary style with Italian leather sofas and a 32" flat screen TV, DVD player and stereo. English FreeSat channels are available plus a library of DVDs. Large sliding doors open onto the terrace and pool allowing you to sit either in the shade or by the pool in the sun. There is a fully equipped kitchen and 3 bathrooms. Bed linen and towels are provided.
The villa is situated within a relaxing, protected pine and eucalyptus forest and there's a fantastic Blue Flag family beach 20 minutes walk away, a cycle track and boardwalk around the lagoon and world class golf a short drive away. It's a great place!
The Obidos Lagoon: The proximity of the stunning Obidos Lagoon to the villa (just 5 minutes walk) makes this location truly special and unique. When we visit the villa, no day feels complete without a stroll around the lagoon's perimeter on the cycle path and boardwalk. The landscape is an ever-changing delight and one of the most tranquil and uplifting places I know.
Wild flowers, dune grasses and aquatic birds abound in this protected fragile ecosystem whilst fisherman's huts and their traditional colourful boats (batieras) are a reminder that the lagoon is still a place of work for many locals.
Beautiful Beaches: You are spoilt for choice for fabulous beaches with several in the immediate area.
The closest beach is the huge Blue Flag beach near the mouth of the lagoon, Praia do Bom Sucesso, about 20 minutes walk (or 5 minutes by car) from the villa along the edge of the lagoon. The lagoon waters are calm, protected from the Atlantic waves and the whole family can swim safely here. There are a few restaurants and bars, a small grocery store, cafe and a few shops. The Rio Cortico restaurant has superb views from the top of the headland overlooking the beach. The Atlantic beach at the mouth of the lagoon around the headland has a backdrop of cliffs and is wild and rugged... perfect for a bracing walk.
Just 3 minutes drive away is the beautiful sheltered cove of Praia Rio Cortico with its great laid-back beach restaurant and bar serving the fresh catch of the day.
A 10 minute drive brings you to the stunning Atlantic beach at Praia D'El Rey with a beach snack bar and 5* hotel facilities.
The new hotel and clubhouse at the Royal Obidos Golf Resort both serve amazing top quality cuisine in cool, modern surroundings.
Fabulous Golfing Location: Thtree of the regions top championship golf courses, The Royal Obidos, Bom Sucesso and Praia D'El Rey are less than 10 minutes drive from the villa. Two further stunning courses, The Golden Eagle and The Campo Real are only a 20 minute drive away.
You can make significant saving on green fees for all these courses by booking in advance via online booking services
The Obidos lagoon is a beautiful place to relax and it is still relatively undiscovered. The Blue Flag beach is huge and it is never crowded - even in August. There's no hi-rise development here, just local people, local food and a laid back atmosphere - all surrounded by a protected pine and eucalyptus nature reserve. Walking around the lagoon on the cycle path is a daily ritual for me and the scenery is ever-changing with wild flowers, birds, fishermen and people searching for clams - a local delicacy. The perfect place to relax and unwind.
Portuguese beaches are renowned for their beauty. Many people are familiar with the rugged Atlantic coast however the Obidos lagoon is relatively unknown, even though it is the largest lagoon in Europe, and families can always find a calm, shallow place that is safe for children to play. It is such an easy going place and the local food and wine is cheap, plentiful and delicious... from a chilled beach or lagoon-side cafe to a treat at a 5* golf resort or an authentic restaurant in Obidos old town.
We don't feel the need to rush around when we visit our villa but there's loads to see and do in the local area if you can drag yourself away from the pool and the beach.
This was the first time we have been to Portugal and we had a lovely time, the villia was clean and tidy with all the mod cons you could have wanted. The location of the villa is slightly out of the way and you do need a car but its in an amazing spot, 25 mins walk form the lovley beach and a few beautiful resturants, the main super market is a 30 min drive and in (Obidos) so stock up on all your essantials.
i would definatly recommend this to all friends and family.
Perfect thank you for a lovley holiday.
We spent a very enjoyable week in this clean and well maintained, spacious villa which has a plentiful supply of kitchen equipment. It is in a very quiet residential area near a beautiful lagoon which has a track for walking or running round the edge. There are a couple of good restaurants about a mile away at the end of the lagoon near the sea. We also enjoyed visiting the very pretty walled town of Obidos and the surf beaches and bars at Baleal, Peniche and Nazare. There is an impressive BBQ in the garden on which we cooked the fish caught by the boys on their fishing trip from Peniche while the girls took a boat trip to the island of Berlangas. I would definitely recommend this villa to family and friends.
We were very impressed with the cleanliness, layout and generally high standards of this villa. It was well maintained with good facilities. Even in April we managed a few swims in the pool and you are very close to some beautiful beaches and historic towns. Evening walks to the nearby lagoon were also very enjoyable and there were a number of good restaurants a short drive away. I would certainly recommend the villa and area to friends. We had a thoroughly enjoyable stay.
We have just returned from a wonderful week in Portugal
The accommodation was of the highest standard.
Spotlessly clean with excellent facilities.
The pack provided with information on the surrounding area & restaurants was very useful.
I will be recommending to friends and family & hope to return soon
I booked this villa for 9 nights for my family (me, my husband, my 3 years old daughter and my father) in September 2012. Everything was just perfect! The villa offers all you need to feel like home, is very stylish, all new and well equipped. It is also very well located and a very good start point for exploring the beautiful area around, especially the wonderful town Obidos. The beaches nearby and the lagoon offer a lot of places for enjoying the sun and relaxing. We will certainly go back for another vacation in this beautiful place again!
What a lovely spacious Villa this is - the Master bedroom & bathroom ( with bath & shpower ) are very spacious with a lovely outdoor area..the upstairs twin has 2 balconies and the downstairs opens on to the pool / garden so everyone was happy with their own space with their own shower / toilet.
The open plan living area was plenty big enough,a fun selection of DVDs for all the family, all digital mod cons and the garden space well kept, all you needed in the kitchen,. plus the extra nice touches of cling-film, serviettes , salt & pepper etc
We babrbequed most days with amazing prices in the local supermarket for fresh fish & steak.
I really liked this part of Portugal - a car is essential as there is so much to discover within easy driving range and its fun to try different beaches, Our favourites were Foz, a popular place with the locals, great atmosphere at the beach bars! Praia del Rae, a wild bay with lifeguards but you need to take your own picnic & beers! Also Baleal surfing beach was very cool...
My older kids enjoyed the go karting at Bomberral & the water park at Nazare ( ideal for 7 - 17 yr olds, but with a young kids pool too ) and made a pleasant change from the beach - beware of not taking enough sun cream & insect repellent.
Obidos is very special - you can walk around the narrow ( and somewhat precarious castle walls ) which was a highlight for the lads.
Beautiful area - the smell of the pine trees is divine and all the locals very friendly..I could have stayed for much longer and still found new places to enjoy.
You can book this Villa with confidence - above expectations. :0)
Less than 1 hour's drive from Lisbon Airport, the Silver Coast still retains a sense of being undiscovered and unspoiled. The villa at Perola Da Lagoa is situated by the Obidos Lagoon – a large sheltered coastal inlet with its sweeping expanse of family-friendly Blue Flag beaches .
A nature reserve surrounds the development with a network of trails and cycle paths around the lagoon. Bicycles are available to hire locally or try stand-up paddle boarding, kayaking or wind surfing.
The Silver coast is renowned for its medieval towns and authentic fishing villages. Close by is Obidos, a lovely walled town with great bars and restaurants and artisan's shops lining its cobbled streets.
Spend your days exploring the many wonderful beaches, both Atlantic coast and lagoon-side. Enjoy fresh, local food at one of the beach-side bars and restaurants or treat yourselves to some 5 star luxury at one of the nearby hotel or golf resort's restaurants.
Or pamper yourself at by booking a spa treatment at the Obidos Lagoon Wellness Centre
For golfers: The new Royal Obidos Golf Resort is less than 500m from the villa. The world class cliff-top Praia D'El Rey golf course and the new championship Bom Sucesso golf course are only a short drive away.
The Royal Obidos Golf Resort: 500m from villa. A wonderful new course designed by Seve Ballesteros. A beautiful course that will challenge players of all levels with cascading lakes and streams and a backdrop of the Atlantic Ocean. Clubhouse, restaurant, bar and pro-shop.
Golf: Praia D'El Rei: 10 minutes drive from villa. One of the most picturesque golf courses in Europe, set in extensive grounds of pine forest and undulating dunes with spectacular views over the Atlantic. The course is visually stunning and tremendously exciting to play. Designed by respected golf architect Cabell Robinson to be both challenging and fun for all to play.
Bom Sucesso: Less than 5 minutes drive from villa. Opened in 2008, this course takes full advantage of spectacular scenery and breathtaking views. Designed by Donald Steel, one of the most prestigious golf architects in the world.

John 17:1-19New King James Version (NKJV)
Jesus Prays for Himself
17 Jesus spoke these words, lifted up His eyes to heaven, and said: "Father, the hour has come. Glorify Your Son, that Your Son also may glorify You, 2 as You have given Him authority over all flesh, that He should[a] give eternal life to as many as You have given Him. 3 And this is eternal life, that they may know You, the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom You have sent. 4 I have glorified You on the earth. I have finished the work which You have given Me to do. 5 And now, O Father, glorify Me together with Yourself, with the glory which I had with You before the world was.
Jesus Prays for His Disciples
6 "I have manifested Your name to the men whom You have given Me out of the world. They were Yours, You gave them to Me, and they have kept Your word. 7 Now they have known that all things which You have given Me are from You. 8 For I have given to them the words which You have given Me; and they have received them, and have known surely that I came forth from You; and they have believed that You sent Me.
9 "I pray for them. I do not pray for the world but for those whom You have given Me, for they are Yours. 10 And all Mine are Yours, and Yours are Mine, and I am glorified in them. 11 Now I am no longer in the world, but these are in the world, and I come to You. Holy Father, keep through Your name those whom You have given Me,[b] that they may be one as We are. 12 While I was with them in the world,[c] I kept them in Your name. Those whom You gave Me I have kept;[d] and none of them is lost except the son of perdition, that the Scripture might be fulfilled. 13 But now I come to You, and these things I speak in the world, that they may have My joy fulfilled in themselves. 14 I have given them Your word; and the world has hated them because they are not of the world, just as I am not of the world. 15 I do not pray that You should take them out of the world, but that You should keep them from the evil one. 16 They are not of the world, just as I am not of the world. 17 Sanctify them by Your truth. Your word is truth. 18 As You sent Me into the world, I also have sent them into the world. 19 And for their sakes I sanctify Myself, that they also may be sanctified by the truth.

Created attachment 580963 [details]
The upcoming testcase crashes js debug shell on m-c changeset 63bff373cb94 with -m, -a and -d at JSC::MacroAssemblerCodePtr::executableAddress
s-s on the safe side because a previous bug 686107 was s-s.
This was found using a combination of jsfunfuzz and jandem's method fuzzer.
For some strange reason, the testcase should be in the same directory as where one is executing the command.
./js -m -a -d testcase.js
~/<something>/js -m -a -d testcase.js
works, but NOT:
./js -m -a -d ../testcase.js
~/<something>/js -m -a -d ../testcase.js
I can't repro this on tip. I tried Win 7 and MacOS 10.6.
Debugged this on Gary's machine. It is an NPE. jit() goes to NULL during the call to nativeLookup in ic::SetGlobalName. I verified that a GC also occurs during that call. So I think it will always be an NPE, but I'll let Brian check on that--he says it's an ObjShrink regression.
Created attachment 581117 [details] [diff] [review]
Before ObjShrink, JSObject::native{Search,Lookup} could not GC --- they search for a native property on the object, possibly malloc'ing a property table for the last property (malloc cannot GC). With objshrink, the property table allocation needs to allocate an owned base shape for the shape, which is a GC thing allocation that can trigger GC. This patch fixes SetGlobalName and a similar case in GetGlobalName; there aren't any other places where native lookups are performed directly by the IC code.
Thanks go out to dmandelin for helping to debug this.
Brian, is this always a null deref? (we can then set the sg: rating to [sg:dos])
> Brian, is this always a null deref? (we can then set the sg: rating to
> [sg:dos])
Also, will adding assertions help us to trigger similar bugs in the future? Does adding assertions apply to this case? This was particularly hard to trigger and reduce, fwiw.
I think this always be a null deref. There really isn't any way to assert this, it requires the GC to happen in just a particular spot to behave at all incorrectly and afterwards will crash regardless.

His first seven mounts in Britain since the summer of 2006 suggest that trainers have lost none of their regard for Kieren Fallon in the meantime. The multiple champion jockey resumes at Lingfield and Kempton tomorrow with a book of rides so diverse that his past difficulties, if never likely to be forgotten, at least seem to have been broadly forgiven.
He starts with a two-year-old trained by Amy Weaver, who houses her horses in Newmarket's smallest yard and is, at 27, the youngest female trainer in the land. And he finishes off, under the floodlights at Kempton nearly seven hours later, riding for the man who will finish the season as champion trainer for the 10th time.
It was to Sir Michael Stoute, of course, that Fallon turned for support and employment when suspended for 18 months after failing a drugs test in France in 2007 – at a time when he was already prohibited from riding on these shores, because of corruption charges he would have to answer at the Old Bailey in London. In the event, the judge ordered for that case to be dismissed, but Fallon hopes to put the whole, traumatic saga behind him now.
He certainly has sound prospects of making a perfect start on Rare Malt, who has shown promise on both her starts in maidens. Bookmakers anticipate that the fidelity of trainers will be shared by the betting public, who have always cherished his indomitable style. "We expect all his mounts to be extremely well backed," said David Stevens, spokesman for Coral. "Fallon had a huge following among punters before his suspension, and despite his run-ins with the racing authorities, we expect him to remain just as popular in betting shops up and down the country when he makes his comeback."
Fallon could win a Group One prize the very next day, on High Standing at Haydock - a possibility now likely to top the weekend agenda after heavy rain reached Leopardstown yesterday. An aversion to soft ground means that Sea The Stars is unlikely to be declared for the Tattersalls Millions Irish Champion Stakes, leaving Fame And Glory – gunning for revenge after suffering his only defeat behind Sea The Stars at Epsom – as red-hot favourite.
Aidan O'Brien, trainer of Fame And Glory, yesterday warned that another of his best colts, Rip Van Winkle, is "touch and go" to make the Queen Elizabeth II Stakes at Ascot on 26 September. He is still troubled by the foot problems that have plagued him all year.
His absence would be a big boost to Delegator – and so to Godolphin's hopes of winning only its second Group One prize in Europe since 2007. Saeed bin Suroor, the Godolphin trainer, reports Delegator to have come out of his impressive debut for the stable last weekend in good form. "Physically he has done very well for the break he had when he first came to us," he said. "He can be the flagship we needed. I told everybody last December that I could see no Classic horses among the group we had, it was very clear. Now Delegator can be that flagship."
The stable's juveniles have had an excellent summer and Al Zir, so impressive on his Newmarket debut, could run at the St Leger meeting next week. "The horse has been working nicely," his trainer said. "Nothing crazy, he's just a relaxed horse, easy to train. He's still quite light, a horse for next year. Some of the two-year-olds can win maidens, but may not be able to go higher – but the ones I really like, that I think can go on, are him, Poet's Voice and Emirates Dream, the Kingmambo colt who won at York. I think the two-year-olds we have now are our best group in four years. And we still have a lot of the more backward, three-year-old types to run during the weeks ahead."
Matching the stable's overall renewal is Rio De La Plata, author of its last juvenile success at the elite level in the 2007 Prix Lagardere. He has not been seen for over a year, but holds an entry in a listed race at Haydock on Saturday. "He has had problems, but we have given him time and he's working nicely now," bin Suroor said.
Turf account: Chris McGrath
Covert Ambition (5.35 Salisbury) Perhaps stepping up all the way to 14f is an extreme way of acknowledging that confining him to 10f has delayed his fulfilment, but even as his form stands, he is the one to beat – and his genes promise improvement for this overdue test of stamina.
Next best
Even Bolder (5.0 Salisbury) Has to be forgiven a tame run at Sandown last time, but that will be reflected in the odds, and he had previously shaped as though poised to profit from a falling handicap mark. Down another 2lb today, and has run well here in the past.
One to watch
Silverglas (Marcus Tregoning) conceded a start to Kaolak at Goodwood last weekend, but the way he worked through into second in his first handicap suggests that he will soon be contributing to his stable's revival.
Where the money's going
Main Aim is 6-1 from 7-1 with Totesport for the Betfred Sprint Cup at Haydock on Saturday.

Kinesiology is the study of human movement, and knowing how to maximize our kinetic efficiency is a crucial component of our health and well-being. From biomechanics and strength and conditioning to sports psychology and physical/occupational therapy, UM's Kinesiology Department offers state-of-the-art resources and a close faculty relationship to promote success in an increasingly important field. This department is one of the true hidden gems of UM.
Health Promotion
At its heart, the science of Kinesiology is all about advocating health and wellness. That's why UM offers a focused concentration in Health Promotion. A wide variety of courses – from First Aid and Prevention to Exercise Physiology to Pharmacology – are provided in order to educate students in a number of kinesthetic disciplines and train them for a variety of graduate school and career opportunities within this field, including but not limited to physical and occupational therapy.
Nutrition and Wellness/Dietetics
Kinesiology is about more than just our mechanics and movements; it's also about how we fuel our bodies in order to do the activities that we love. UM's Nutrition & Wellness program takes you to the beginning of the kinesthetic timeline in order to emphasize a healthy diet and proper nutrition. We can all learn to eat a little bit better, and after graduating from this program, you'll be well prepared to help others in this practical and essential field. In addition, those students who have exceptional grades are eligible for admission into our accredited program in Dietetics, which is the best route toward becoming a Registered Dietician in the state of Alabama.
Finish-in-Four Plans
A non-teaching minor with a minimum of 18 hours in Kinesiology is available. Students should consult the Bulletin for more information.

I have been trying to figure out how to make a Spanish romesco sauce work in different ways than just on fresh crunchy veggies. This classic Spanish sauce is made with roasted red peppers, tomatoes, almonds, garlic, and vinegar- similar to how you would make a pesto. The bite from the vinegar is the perfect complement to the pureed tomatoes and red peppers, and I realized it would make a fresh and veggie-packed pizza sauce! While I cut the corners with some of my ingredients (canned tomatoes, jar of roasted red peppers, and whole wheat pita for the pizza crust), sub in your own ideas, your favorite dough and toppings for this pizza to make it yours.
You should also know that I apologize in advance if you see the word PITZZA anywhere. Pita pizza is just really hard to write. This healthy pizza recipe is a fun one to make with others- whether an impromptu pizza party or for Superbowl viewing snacks. Lay out a bunch of toppings for people (including marinara for the not as adventurous to try this romesco sauce) and pop everyone's individual pizza on cookie sheets to warm up. You can find great whole-wheat pita near the sandwich thins and bread in your grocery store, and it crisps up nicely while still staying soft on the inside- my favorite part of pizza!
Spanish Romesco Sauce (makes 2 and 1/2 cups sauce)
- 4 cloves garlic
- 1 cup roasted almonds
- 12 oz jar of roasted red peppers, drained
- 14.5 oz can of diced tomatoes, drained
- 2 tablespoons sherry/red wine vinegar
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1/4 teaspoon paprika
Spanish Romesco Vegetable Pita Pizza (serves 2 as a meal, 4 as a snack)
- 1 cup romesco sauce (recipe above)
- 4 pita breads
- 1 sliced yellow pepper
- 1 vine-ripened tomato
- 2 oz sliced mozzarella
- Green or kalamata olives
Begin by draining the roasted red pepper and diced tomatoes, since we do not need additional liquid in our chunky romesco sauce. I got about 1 cup of liquid total from draining both containers. You can discard this liquid or save it for another use (homemade tomato sauce, maybe!).
In a food processor, begin by processing the garlic cloves until minced. Add in the whole almonds and chop them up until they are in small pieces. Add the rest of the sauce ingredients (roasted red peppers, tomato, vinegar, olive oil, and paprika) and process until smooth. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees if you are proceeding with the pita pizza recipe.
Spread the sauce out onto your pitas and top with sliced mozzarella, sliced veggies and tomato, and olives. Bake for 10 minutes at 350 degrees, or until the cheese is bubbly and the pita pizza is warmed throughout. Let the pita pizzas cool on a rack for a couple minutes before cutting.
Use the excess romesco sauce as a sauce for dipping raw vegetables, or try baking it on top of chicken with some mozzarella – it will blow your mind. It will last a week or more in the fridge, but can be frozen for later use.

Advertisement Top Photo via Intrepid ScienceAntarctica is a desolate place. That much we know, but nothing prepares you for it until you actually get there. It's cold, windy and lonely. Everything about it is the exact opposite of my normal summer destination. But scientists value the continent like an uncut gem. Advertisement Every bit of data retrieved from Antarctica pushes science forward. Which is why just over a month ago, we set out on the Australasian Antarctic Expedition 2013. Our goal was a survey of the Southern Ocean near a place called Commonwealth Bay, which is unique because its conditions changed dramatically a few years ago.Ever since Sir Douglas Mawson first arrived in Commonwealth Bay in 1912, the place has been ice-free and directly connected to the Southern Ocean in summer. But in 2010 a giant iceberg (B09B, almost 100km wide) ran aground in the middle of the bay and since then sea ice has been building up around the berg. There is now 70km of ice between the ocean and the site where Mawson sailed in. Mawson's original Australasian Antarctic Expedition Intrepid Science Sponsored Scientifically, the iceberg offers a wonderful opportunity. Climate change in Antarctica means melting of the ice sheet, but also an increase in sea ice. While the extra sea ice in Commonwealth Bay is not directly due to climate change, the site offers a unique glimpse of how it affects the ecosystems.Commonwealth Bay is as close to a controlled lab experiment as one can get in Antarctic science. So despite my aversion to cold, I joined a team of ecologists, glaciologists, ornithologists and oceanographers heading south. Along with us, we had journalists, teachers and nearly two dozen paying science volunteers. We set out to study what difference an iceberg makes.With the birdsI've been at sea before, having spent a total of 15 weeks aboard four different research vessels, measuring the temperature and salinity of the ocean. But all of these expeditions were in the subtropics. There isn't much ice around there. Advertisement Advertisement Taking observations on ice is much more difficult than in open water. Going off the ship is an endeavour – the Antarctic equivalent of a spacewalk. It requires careful planning and preparation. Even a short trip requires a full survival kit, including tent, sleeping bag, freeze-dried food and a plastic bag to use as toilet. This is because blizzards can trap people in the open without warning. Fortunately, we never needed to use the survival kit. Nor the plastic bag.We returned to the ship with some amazing data. My ecologist colleagues found that kelp forests are dying in Commonwealth Bay because the sea ice blocks sunlight. My ornithologist colleague found that penguin colonies are in decline as the penguins need to walk so much further to get to open water. And I found that the water below the sea ice has become less saline.The cyclic freezing and melting of the bottom parts of the sea ice annually has created a 40m thick freshwater lens. As freshwater freezes more easily than saltier water, the drop in salinity below the sea ice means that it is easier to form new sea ice. This is called a positive feedback cycle, and it means that the bay is likely to remain covered with sea ice for quite some time. The Shokalskiy in sea ice Intrepid ScienceTesting timesAnd then we became world news. As we packed up our gear and got ready to sail back to New Zealand, we got caught by a massive outbreak of unusually thick, old sea ice. Within hours, our ship was surrounded by heavy ice, too thick for us to break through. We were stuck in our own experiment. Stranded in the ice we came to study. Advertisement Thanks to crews of the Chinese icebreaker Xue Long, the French icebreaker l'Astrolabe and the Australian icebreaker Aurora Australis, we were rescued. Not only did the evacuation they carry out bring everyone to safety, we were able to salvage our valuable samples and data as well. This data is crucial for helping us to understand Antarctica better.Our adventure shows the difficulty of fieldwork in Antarctica. One hundred years since the first exploration it is still a major endeavour to get to the frozen continent. But there is so much research to be done – and we need all the help we can get.

They have been America's leader in herbal medicine for over 40 years. As the pre-eminent provider of health and healing through the power of nature, their commitment to quality reflects their commitment to you. In fact, it's woven into the very story of their founding. A family crisis and an herbal renaissance.Nature's Way originated from a circumstance everyone can understand—a family's desperate need to overcome a personal health crisis. Back in the late 1960s, Tom Murdock, the founder of what is now Nature's Way, needed a solution to help his gravely ill wife. After trying conventional medicine without success, Tom and his wife turned to the traditional Native American knowledge of "medicinal plants" growing in the Arizona desert. As a result, she recovered and lived an additional 25 years. Tom Murdock's pioneering spirit did more than save a life—it led to the renaissance of herbal medicine in America. As word spread about his wife's recovery, Tom set out to find other healthy treasures growing in the Arizona desert. By 1969, Tom and his family had eight new herbal remedies to share with others and thus began the legacy of Nature's Way. While it may seem hard to believe now, for many years herbal knowledge was a lost art in a country fueled by conventional, and often invasive, medical approaches. The founding of Nature's Way reopened a door that had long been closed. Motivated by a passion to spread the power of natural healing, Tom and his family moved back home to the beautiful mountain valleys of Utah and almost single-handedly spurred the growth of what could be called the "Silicon Valley of Herbal Supplements." An industry pioneer in many ways.When you've been pioneering natural health for over 40 years, you develop an impressive list of "firsts" among major dietary supplement companies. Many of these innovations initiated by Nature's Way have shaped how America thinks about natural medicine. Here are just a few: Nature's Way has a state-of-the-art, pharmaceutically licensed, industry-recognized GMP manufacturing facility, and invested in it well before it became more common to do so. They were the first major supplement company to be certified as an organic food processor, an important distinction as they focus on being caretakers of their resources, as well as natural medicine providers. They were the first to bring clinically proven, European phytomedicines to the U.S. market that had long been recognized as effective, but were new to many in this country. They fund major third-party organizations to responsibly disseminate trustworthy health information and ensure quality in the field at large. They believe that health freedoms aren't something to take for granted. As such, they champion and fund legislative efforts to guard their health. It's more than a business. Nature's Way believes in giving back. Nature's Way is grateful for their business success and they express it through a tradition of giving back. A few examples include: Founding donor groups to protect the world's rainforests, where the world's next great herbal medicines may be discovered. Donating vitamins to the poor in developing nations, where daily nutrients are in short supply. Supporting self-reliance programs for the homeless to address physical needs and the dignity of each individual. Contributing to research to find a cure for breast cancer and other diseases. Nature's Way Today. Today, their manufacturing capacities have expanded and they're able to bring even more good things to you. That's because being affiliated with Schwabe North America and its family of brands, including Boericke & Tafel, Enzymatic Therapy, Integrative Therapeutics, Inc., allows them to expand their reach and enhance the health of more people through the power of nature. As one of the most technologically advanced supplement manufacturers in the United States, they continue to push the boundaries forward on quality research, testing and introducing new ingredients. They offer over 500 premium nutritional and natural products, including single herbs and herbal extracts, homeopathic remedies, vitamins, minerals and specialty products. While herbal supplements are still the backbone of their product line, new and innovative products including Alive Whole Food Energizer, Primadophilus probiotics, Ginkgold clinically proven ginkgo extract, EfaGold essential fatty acids, Hydraplenish hyaluronic acid and Thisilyn liver support formulas, just to name a few, are exciting additions to their offering. After all, innovation, seeking the best in nature, and bringing "the world's best" to the marketplace is their goal. Like their founder Tom Murdock, they're still pioneering. There are many discoveries yet to be made in this amazing world. They may happen in a rainforest, a savannah, or like they did over 40 years ago, in a desert. When they are discovered, they'll bring them to you. That's why you can Trust the Leaf. Nature's Way's company logo—the green leaf seen on their product packaging and on this web site—features a motto: "Trust the Leaf." They mean it. They take it seriously. They strive to produce the very best and have worked hard to build trusting relationships with their retailers and with you. They know that millions of people rely on Nature's Way products to enhance their health. They consider it a legacy of their history and a pledge to the future. That's why you can turn to them again and again and "Trust the Leaf."

Even kitchens on a budget need to be well designed—and well stocked — no matter if your speciality is your famous seven-layer cake or a grilled cheese sandwich.
Kitchens can be a big investment. Most experts recommend allocating 7 to 15 percent of your log home building budget on the kitchen alone. As with any room, there are ways to cut corners without ruining the entire recipe. Read on for a collection of helpful hints for kitchens on a budget.
Cabinet Creativity
- Add a cherry finish on maple cabinets instead of splurging for real cherry.
- Instead of spending big bucks on custom cabinets, enhance stock or semi-custom cabinetry by adding crown molding or vinyl-covered rigid foam.
- You can also dress up stock cabinetry with glass doors. Inside, opt for affordable wood veneer, which can be stained to match the wood outside.
- Installing cabinet doors yourself can save you $50 to $75 per cabinet. French Country fans replace some doors with a decorative curtain rod and fabric for a distinctive (yet inexpensive) look. Or leave some open for tasteful displays of your favorite serving pieces.
- In lieu of costly built-in organizers, shop around for lazy Susans, spice racks and other sorting systems.
- If you splurge on fine hardwood cabinets, add your own hardware. Home centers and department stores stock decorative knobs and pulls for just $1 to $25 apiece.
- For an upscale look at a midrange price, vary the heights of your cabinets, such as pairing two corner 42-inch wall cabinets with standard 36-inch cabinets.
Kitchen Staff
- Look for Energy Star®-compliant appliances to increase your kitchen's efficiency. Some areas in the United States and Canada offer a rebate or tax credit for buying these energy-friendly essentials. Also look for the yellow Federal Trade Commission Energy Guide label, which is required on appliances like refrigerators and dishwashers, to compare the efficiency of different units.
- When selecting appliances, compare the cost of various models by looking at important details, such as a microwave's power output, the number of spraying arms in a dishwasher, and the storage capacity of a refrigerator/freezer. Use "bells and whistles" as a deciding factor only if they'll make a difference in your day-to-day life.
- Because even the best appliances can eventually break down, consider the value of each model's warranty along with its price. What's the term length? Which parts are covered? Is labor included? Will it be honored by other dealers?
- You may not need to give up on Old Reliable. Dressing up your existing refrigerator and dishwasher with wood panels can give them new life at a reasonable price.
- Stacked fridges/freezers are generally less expensive than side-by-side models—particularly with the freezer on top.
- Although they're often more expensive than electric ovens, gas ovens operate more efficiently in the long run. Infrared broilers are most efficient of all because they heat up fast.
Counter Measures
- Laminates are a less-expensive alternative to popular granite and stainless steel counters. They are easier to maintain, come in many styles, and can be personalized with wood or tile trim. But note: laminates aren't as durable as stone and can't be repaired. So they may be perfect for a vacation home, but may not be ideal for serious cooks or big families.
- If you're really on a budget, plywood counters can look great with quality stains and finishes. Consider them "starter" counters and remodel in a few years.
- Decorative edges are another stylish detail for cost-conscious kitchens. It costs more to add this detail to a stone counter than a laminate one.
- Still determined to use granite countertops? Look for construction-grade granite that has more flaws but is priced lower than residential grades. Another option: use smaller granite tiles instead of a large single slab.
- If you choose steel or stone surfaces in your kitchen, mix them up with reasonably priced countertop materials like butcher-block wood or ceramic tile surfaces.
- A kitchen backsplash can be a dramatic and inexpensive kitchen accent. Ceramic, stone, glass or metal tiles are available in tile shops and kitchen showrooms, or you can buy them for a little less at home improvement stores.
- If you're looking to economize on space, try a mobile worktable with locking wheels. It will give you the surface area you'd get from an island without permanently stealing from your floor space.
- Speaking of islands (and peninsulas), they can do double duty. Multitask with a well-configured bar that can be used for food preparation, casual dining, entertaining and even homework.
Cooking Light
- Task lighting shines light exactly where you need it. Fluorescent lights are the least expensive—and compact fluorescent lights (CFLs) largely eliminate the poor color, flicker and noise of traditional fluorescent lights.
- Hidden under-counter lighting—which is great below the kitchen sink—is a functional powerhouse that can cost as little as $50.
- Good window design and placement will bathe your kitchen in 100-percent-free sunlight. (Bonus: this can make a smaller kitchen feel bigger.)
- If you plan to add curtains, choose something sheer or light in color for maximum solar power.
Unsinkable Savings
- Undermounted sinks (where the bowl is attached beneath the counter) are the most affordable sink option—and generally also the easiest to clean.
- In terms of material, stainless steel is the most popular choice—and also the least expensive. (A more luxurious choice would be copper.) Look for at least 20-gauge steel (18-gauge is even thicker/better) to resist dents and reduce noise.
- For optimal corrosion resistance, look for a stainless steel blend of 18 percent chromium and 8 percent nickel. To save a little dough, consider brushed chrome instead of nickel.

Chapter 4,372 in the Drake/Rihanna love story: Drake, arguably the world's friendliest ex, gave RiRi a birthday shoutout during his concert in Dublin yesterday. (MELTING.)

"It's somebody's birthday today—somebody I have a lot of love for and a lot of respect for," he said. "So, instead of singing 'Happy birthday,' though, we just going to do this in Dublin. Instead of singing 'Happy Birthday,' we're going to set it off just like this..."

One writer's take on the oft-misunderstood shoe that is "safe but not sensible."
Fashion watchers say that the kitten heel is ubiquitous this spring, but is it? Since the kitten heel is neither as flat as a crepe nor as high as a flagpole, much gets dumped into its medium-sized category that isn't kitten, or, really, even feline, at all. In fact, it's easier to say what a kitten heel isn't than what it is.
It is certainly not a stiletto. Neither is it square, squat, sturdy or stacked, even if it's medium height. What makes the Dior slingback with logo strap, Prada sandal, pointy Acne Studios slingback, Loewe moccasin and Céline babushka slipper kitteny is the indentation right at the top of the heel, called the "seat." It makes the heel look like a comma. Sometimes, it's so bent in that it looks like a cartoon shoe that has skidded to a screeching halt. And although the heel is shaped like an hourglass, it is imperatively skinny because a fat hourglass-shaped heel is for high kicks and tap dancing. "They give your leg a pretty silhouette," says my friend Sabine. "And if you have full calves, kitten heels make them taper away and disappear."
Christian Dior spring 2017 RTW (Imaxtree.com)
Kittens are great in-between shoes. They are safe but not sensible, dressy but not ditzy, stylish but not slavish. Which is why they were the heel of choice for Audrey Hepburn and Jackie Kennedy (and still are for Michelle Obama).
But what do we really think about the kitten heel? It isn't a heel that inspires heated passion. By nature a compromise shoe, the kitten emerged in the 1950s as a "training" heel for younger girls. Designed for one's first tentative steps in what was then the high-speed foot race for husbands and high heels, kittens are cute, tasteful, elegant and demure. They are the Baby Duck that comes before champagne. They are the quinceañera of footwear.
Givenchy spring 2017 RTW (Imaxtree.com)
That said, cats have their claws and so do kittens. When the heel is spiky and the toe pointy, like last fall's white Balenciaga bootie, it can be an interesting, aggressive shoe. Diana Rigg wore a black leather bodysuit and kitten booties as she kung-fu-chopped villains in the '60s TV show The Avengers. Sharp kitten heels, torn fishnets, bird's-nest pompadours and gobs of black eyeliner was how punk icons Exene Cervenka, Siouxsie Sioux and PJ Harvey rolled in the 1980s and early 1990s. These were not women of moderate taste, as the kitten heel is wont to express. This shows that it's a shoe with plenty of wiggle room for personality and, possibly, even rebellion—a shoe exactly suited to our times.

The basic knit is reinvented and a new trend is born.
When was the last time you thought purposefully of a cardigan? The button-up knit with preppy roots emerged as a hero piece on the runways of New York and the message continued in London. Like denim and the white button-down before it, the cardigan was taken apart and reinvented by the likes of Christopher Kane, who presented holographic, slightly oversized versions. In New York, Alexander Wang sent model Stella Lucia down his party-ready runway in a loose, borrowed-from-dad knit that read as anything but precious. Lacoste, Ulla Johnson and Dion Lee took a fuzzier approach, while Tory Burch and Victoria Beckham represented the more sophisticated end of the spectrum.
The takeaway? Whether undone, artsy or preppy, the cardigan is infinitely versatile and, for the first time in many seasons, covetable.

"Who'd you rather what?"
We never would have taken J.Lo for a Harry Styles fan. The singer was cornered into a game of "Who'd Your Rather" while appearing on The Ellen DeGeneres Show this week.
And while she remained super coy about whatever is going on between her and Drake, she got pretty candid during the game featuring some of Hollywood's most desirable bachelors. Watch below to see which Oscar-winning actor she's not-so-secretly pining for and what star is "like a brother" to her.

From Anaheim to Akron
Miranda Ricks' trophies stand as tall as skyscrapers. Put them all on one dining room table and the Los Angeles skyline materializes in her parents' Anaheim home.
Ricks has hoarded quite a collection of hardware for an 11-year-old who picked up soapbox car racing just last year.
"What's your favorite one?" she's asked on a Friday afternoon.
Miranda points to a diminutive silver trophy with a four-leaf clover stamped at the top.
"That's my favorite trophy. Because it was my first."
Steve Ricks, 50, took his daughter to Oceanside on March 17, 2012 – St. Patrick's Day – to watch their first soapbox car race.
That afternoon, the pair stood underneath a tarp as it poured rain.
Miranda was asked off-the-cuff if she wanted to race.
"Of course," she remembers saying. "Is it too late?"
It wasn't.
"They gave us a shabby club car, a 'beater,'" Steve Ricks said. "The steering wheel was crooked, so to go straight you had to hold it crookedly. There was hardly any weight in the car, too."
To ensure his daughter's safety, Steve Ricks "hit every nut and bolt" prior to the race.
Miranda didn't even have goggles to wear.
"(Miranda) did fine, but I was a little worried."
Miranda placed fifth, and received a diminutive silver trophy with a four-leaf clover stamped at the top.
"When everyone asked how we did, we said, 'We got fifth!'" Steve Ricks said. "We didn't say that there were only five racers."
Miranda graduated Juarez Elementary School in Anaheim this spring at the top of her Gifted and Talented Education (GATE) class.
At Juarez, she received special recognition by the Anaheim City School District for her participation on the school's Academic Pentathlon team.
Miranda has been a Girl Scout now for seven years. She is also an active member of her church youth group.
According to Debbie Rush, Miranda's mother, Miranda took after-school classes as a fourth- and fifth-grader for college credit.
"Everything she's tried, she's been really good at," Rush said. "She just seems to excel in whatever she puts her mind to."
This Saturday, nearly 500 kids will flock to Derby Downs in Akron, Ohio, for the 76th All-American Soap Box Derby.
Miranda, in just her second year of racing, will be one of them.
"I'm really excited," she said. "I just hope the weather's nice, everyone's happy and that I get a good lane."
On June 6, Miranda won the Region 2 championship in Ventura to qualify for the national derby.
She finished the 2013 season with 184 points, tops in a region that accounts for racers in Arizona, California, Hawaii, Nevada and Utah.
"You try to make the car as perfect as you can," Steve Ricks said. "But I try not to worry about that too much. I'll spend one day on the car before a race, put it in the trailer and I'm worrying all night.
"When we get (to Akron), we'll throw the car on the track and see what happens."
Saturday will officially end Miranda's gilded run in the Stock Car division – the sport's introductory division.
She has grown seven inches (from 4-foot-7 to 5-foot-2) since last season, and has gained more than 30 pounds.
Her growth spurt has since sprouted strategic disadvantages.
"You want to be able to add weight to the car, so light drivers are better because you can place weight where you want," Steve Ricks said.
Miranda will ascend to the Super Stock division next season, which will inevitably require a more accommodating soapbox car.
It won't require a change in approach, however.
"She's gained a lot of experience as a driver," Steve Ricks said. "I'll tell her to try out certain things and she won't try them because she knows what she's doing."
Miranda is a young, outstanding racer in a generation full of young, outstanding racers.
Of course, she judges herself, and her competitors, by different criteria than most.
"It's not how people race," Miranda explained. "It's just what they do after they race, before they race – not specifically the line they drive or how well. It's just how they are as people."
