House Reps Squash Effort to End Oil Subsidies After Raking in $8.7 Million from Big Oil
Photo credit: Abeeeer via Flickr/CC BY
Democrats made a move to remove just some of the billion dollar subsidies from the largest oil companies -- the ones currently announcing sky high profits -- but it was rejected by nearly all Republicans and a few Democrats in the House of Representatives. Curious as to why those politicians were so keen to keep those subsidies in place? You need only follow the money, of course: It turns out that the Representatives who voted to block debate (effectively voting to keep the subsidies in place) received a total of $8.7 million in campaign contributions from the oil companies. On average, each Rep who voted in favor of the subsidies was the recipient of 5 times more oily cash than those who voted nay.
The Center for Responsive Politics has the breakdown:
- House members who voted to continue the subsidies received, on average, five times more money in 2010 from oil and gas interests. Those voting to block debate received $36,066, on average, in campaign contributions from oil and gas interests. Those who voted to begin debate received, on average, $7,192 in campaign contributions from the industry.
- Overall, members that voted to continue the subsidies received more than $8.7 million in campaign contributions from oil and gas interests in 2010 while those opposed raised just $1.2 million.
- 16 of the 18 U.S. House members that received over $100,000 in campaign contributions from the industry in 2010 voted to block debate. One voted to proceed and a second did not vote.
Removing oil subsidies is an important step towards helping cleaner energy sources compete.
In other news, the GOP (and 33 Democrats) succeeded in passing a bill that expands offshore drilling in the House of Reps. All in all, it's been a fun, oily day for Congress.

Fitness trend report: An insider's take on the ECA Convention
This past weekend, fitness professionals in New York—and from across the country—got together at the ECA/OBOW Convention at the Marriot Marquis to showcase their workout, get inspiration, and scope out the competition.
Events ranged from a two-hour Secretariat-themed Spinning class with Josh Taylor to Erin Jacques' SLT Yoga and Rock Your Teaser with Alycea Ungaro to TRX training for active seniors.
We checked in with the ultimate insider, Crunch's senior VP of programming, Donna Cyrus, for what cool workouts and trends she spied this year. Cyrus is a bit of a fitness-class scout who's been attending the convention for about 15 years, evaluating classes and methods in attempts to deliver to gym-goers exactly what they want. Here's what caught her attention this year:
Now Trending
"Everyone is trying desperately to replicate the CrossFit experience," Cyrus says. So hard-core boot camp style workouts that utilize heavy equipment abounded.
On the other end of the spectrum, dance has really taken off. "It's the hunt for the next Zumba," she says. "People are looking to re-create that whole brand."
What's Hot
Three specific workout methods really stood out to Cyrus this year. The first was K'Motion Dance, created by NYC-based dancer and trainer Kendra Kemerly. "She's able to combine dance and step in a way that I thought was really interesting," Cyrus says.
She was also impressed by mind-body fusion method bodyART, a European import that Crunch and The Sports Center at Chelsea Piers added to their schedules in 2011. "He [founder Robert Steinbacher] keeps adding to the program and it's been getting better and better," says Cyrus.
Finally, Cyrus was struck by Hip-Hop Swag, a dance workout created by Viet Dang, who's choreographed for and danced with celebs like Rihanna and Christina Aguilera and is just now taking his method into the fitness world. "A lot of the movements are reflective of an Asian influence in hip-hop, and he has a great personal story that helps him connect with his audience," she says.
What's Not
"Step is dying," Cyrus says, "and people need to stop trying to find the next sexy-girl workout." (Flirty Girl and Sexalicious Diva Groove were represented, among others.)
Cyrus also lamented the influence equipment manufacturers have come to have on the lineup (i.e. TRX). They pay for the space and then have instructors create classes that are meant to showcase the tool. "We turned into an industry of equipment vendors dictating the programming, and instructors who have something innovative aren't able to get in front of people," she says. "The creativity part of the industry needs to get back to the way it was before." —Lisa Elaine Held

A healthcare organization has a lot of things to focus on. Besides providing the best care, there are major issues such as meeting the 30 Day Readmissions quota, improving patient experience, and maintaining a high standard of quality of care. These things lead into one another when a hospital has a high standard of care is given then it will have low readmission rates because patients will be well treated and well attended to thereby reducing the likelihood of them being readmitted.
Follow Up After Patients Have Been Discharged
One major way that a healthcare organization can ensure they meet the 30 Day Readmissions is to have a proper follow-up protocol after a patient is discharged. The first few days or weeks after a patient is discharged are very critical for the patient. The patient should be followed up on to ensure they take their medications, come in for check-ups and follow-up visits. When you call your patient simply to ask how someone is doing after an appointment, they take note. Patients should be called and asked whether their medications are working out, if they have questions or concerns, or if they want to change anything.
Set a High Bar
If a healthcare organization is determined to increase the quality of patient experience, then they must first set a high bar for all employees to follow. Members of the healthcare organization need to understand that there is a quality of care that must be maintained at all times. There should be a culture of high quality with constant improvement always in mind. There should be a code of conduct that does not tolerate mediocrity and subpar services. Setting the bar high also means helping employees understand their purpose. This means they should have an in-depth understanding of their responsibilities and also have knowledge of how these responsibilities play into the bigger picture of the healthcare organization.
Understand the Patients POV
Understanding the patients' point of view will help doctors and nurses provide better quality care because they will be able to meet the patient's needs at the point of origin and also be able to communicate better. One quality needed in order to understand a patient's point of view is having empathy. For doctors putting themselves in a patient's shoes requires empathy, and you should aim to take away as many of their pain points as possible so they can come back to you and get the care they really need. Also, understanding major needs such as how easy are it for patients to access the front door from their cars, how pleasant is the waiting room, and how calming is the wait room music or elevator music. Observe the environment through a patient's eyes to decide whether it feels warm and welcoming. These things, though they seem small contribute to help patients have a great experience. Put yourself in a patient's shoes. Have a staff member go through the appointment scheduling process. See how easy it is to get through the doors if you had a disability. Sit in the waiting room with a stopwatch and see how fast you get seen under normal circumstances
Make Sure Systems Work Properly
If you are going to refer a patient to a website, then you should make sure your site works properly and is easy to navigate. A healthcare organization should make sure it has systems that are of added help to the patients and not a burden. Patient portals should be easy to navigate and intuitive. The ease with which your systems and technologies can be used by patients will affect the quality of the patient experience.
Train Staff to Answer the Phone
This is particularly important for front desk staff or staff that regularly interact with patients on the phone. A lot of times a phone conversation can make the difference between a patient coming in and having a good experience and a patient having a bad feeling about the healthcare organization. If a patient calls in to ask about a service, they should be answered properly that they go ahead and book an appointment. No matter the level of care you provide, when patients perceive the front desk staff as rude or uncaring, or if they don't respect their time they will have a sour opinion about the entire healthcare organization. Front desk staff should be trained to answer the phone in 3 rings or less, use an energetic, friendly, consistent greeting, speak positively of the doctor and services, never put someone on hold for more than a minute or so.
The little things truly matter to those people who are anxious about scheduling an appointment and want to make sure they are going to a friendly and organized healthcare organization.
Keep the Entire Facility Clean
This seems like an obvious point but healthcare organization needs to pay extra care to the cleanliness of the facility especially since things can become dirty pretty quickly if ignored. Hospitals should have proper cleaning services and active cleaning staff always on guard to keep the place pristine and sparkling clean. The hospital should smell clean and fresh, bedsheets and towels should always be washed clean and ironed. The floors should be mobbed and sparkling at all times and the doctors and nurses desks should be kept clean and arranged and not look a mess when patients are around. The small issues add up when patients just want to feel comfortable spending time in your office. From the first visit, people start to register their experience as part of their entire experience.

How adorable are these Marc by Marc Jacobs wedges? Available in either red, green, black or white, these sensational patent leather sandals with a cork heel will cost you $340 at Zappos.com. But we can do better than that, right ladies?
Victoria's Secret to the rescue! These aren't patent leather like the designer originals, but they're also not $340. Available in harvest red, cocoa powder, putty or black, these Colin Stuart sandals are made from soft suede and carry a much more reasonable price tag of $59. Click any image for details!
UPDATE: Blogger Anusha just dropped a comment with the following find from Steve Madden. I think it's a much better match and the price is better, too! The "Vivaci" wedge sandal is available in white, black, gold or coral for $49.95. Thanks, Anusha!!

What is interesting to me whenever we look at software and hardware to solve problems is the needless level of complexity and cost. Let me explain. When you meet with vendors, their first inclination is to add lots of hardware to your infrastructure....and other Cities must just buy lots of it because they seem shocked that we question their solutions and want to keep it simple.
In this particular case, we are adding the ability for our Recreation department to put photos of citizens on their recreation cards. When you review cameras, you begin to hear, "Well you will just add a PC at each remote site to connect to the camera and process the photos". What?!? Huh?? It's very clear that this is unneeded and adds support and upgrade costs. I think sometimes these vendors fail to understand that if you deployed in their design, you would have 100 extra PCs on your network in no time.
So how do we fit in something like a remote camera into a thin client environment? I'm a strong proponent of centralized software and only having very minimal hardware in the field. I didn't want to get a usb webcam that needed drivers and software on the thin clients. Too many problems, and keeping up with ever changing hardware is very difficult. Very often we buy a few devices, and within a few months that same model isn't available anymore. Touching and QAing thin clients and updating them with drivers is not a good idea. I also didn't want the hosts to communicate via USB to remote sites. We always use stateless connections to keep things simple and stable.
So I honed in on the Cisco/Linksys WVC80N Internet camera. Ok, so some problems were solved. We can use the motion sensors, and our employees at the remote sites won't have to push any buttons. All they have to do is sit down the citizen and the photos are taken automatically. Very cool. The camera snaps the photos on motion, and then uploads them via FTP. Because some sites are on lower bandwidth lines, I decided not to send the photos back to our servers. Otherwise anytime there was movement photos would be uploading constantly and possibly slowing their performance. Ever see how many kids run around at recreation sites? :) I wanted to only send the photos when they are really needed by our host software.
It was a logical progression of thought then to house the photos at the remote site until they are used. But where? It turned out that we could store them on the thin clients very easily. We already use FTP to transfer files back and forth from USB sticks to the server to ensure that all file transfers and connections are stateless. So what I did was create a "fake" USB stick in /media that is really a RAMfs (tmpfs) with 20MB of space. This was to avoid having to have a USB stick plugged into the thin client to house the pictures. It was not desirable to store the photos on the flash drive of the thin client itself, these drives have a fixed amount of writes.
When someone moves in front of the camera, it shoots the pictures and puts them on the thin client located at that site via FTP. When we then need those photos from our host based software, we FTP then off the thin clients and back to the server. Clean, solid state and hardware independent. When this camera is discontinued, all we have to do is buy the newer model and drop it into the same location.
Total cost to take photos of our citizens, $110.

Accessing Remote Devices From Centralized Hosts

Edit: Image should say 1000Mb not 1000Gb.

Quite neat and clever, especially when you got to the point about using RAMFS.
Congratulations on doing things the thoughtful way.
- Dave Richards said...
@richard: USB sticks too have a maximum number of writes, plus for sure if they were sitting in common areas of the recreation buildings they would have 'walked off'. :) The thin clients are using so little of the 1GB of memory, that dropping 20MB is nothing.

Rohden is on the market since 1938 and its history follows the evolution of the industry.
The young carpenter Samuel Rohden was its founder. In those days, working in a shed given by his father in the town of Salete, Samuel planted the seed of what the company has become.
With an administration focused on production, the pioneering entrepreneur fought all the difficulties of the time: Even to get nails or screws he needed to travel to major centers. Yet very poor roads and total lack of communication did not prevent the great evolution of his business.
Lino Rohden, current Rohden's CEO, learned to continue, expand and modernize the company.
This vision of future, and a contemporary corporate mentality, brought in streamline management control and production processes with modern technology and the conquest of international markets. The English market came first, marking the beginning of exports, and today Rohden is in Europe, Africa, Asia and especially North America.
When connecting research, constant business travels, participation in trade shows and events across the globe, the leader prepared the organization and its control strategies.
Today the pioneering spirit and the ability to adapt the company to demanding industry puts Rohden as the reference about doors and glass for various purposes, for its quality, competitiveness, and loyalty to clients.

'Pacem in Terris' is model for preaching, teaching, archbishop says
By Cindy Wooden Catholic News Service
VATICAN CITY (CNS) — As the Catholic Church increases its new evangelization efforts and works for justice and peace in the world, it would be wise to imitate the positive, prophetic approach taken by Blessed John XXIII in his encyclical "Pacem in Terris," a French archbishop said.
Archbishop Roland Minnerath of Dijon addressed the opening session April 27 of a meeting of the Pontifical Academy of Social Sciences, which was holding the second of three planned meetings preparing to mark the 50th anniversary next year of "Pacem in Terris," the encyclical "on establishing peace in truth, justice, charity and liberty."
Mary Ann Glendon, a professor of law at Harvard University and president of the academy, told members their study and discussions would be focused on "the role of religion in the quest for a 'tranquility of order' in our increasingly complex and conflict-ridden world." (more…)

Workspace Betterment
I am a big believer in a nicer workspace makes for a happier worker
I am also a big believer in procrastinating. And boy oh boy this website is my haven when it comes to putting off doing this report.
They have everything you never thought you needed and so much more. So I'm going to take you through what I feel I need to make my office space as perfect as I would like this report to be.
Firstly the Self Sustaining Ecosphere
This little growing world will make you feel like Lisa Simpson's science diorama has come to life, watch weird things grow and move about and forget all the woes of that major assessment being due in 8 hours.
Next you'll need go-go-juice or Coffee. So of course you'll need it in an amusing cup where you can visually see how far down your fuel has depleted.
No good workspace is complete without an iPad these days, but what if you are a poor student or only just making your way up the office money ladder and can't afford such things. No worries, you can get the much cheaper paper equivalent!
Now after all that writing you'll have plenty of rough drafts and scribbles that aren't needed and you'll want to keep your office space as clean as possible. You need a trash can, but not just any trash can oh no. You need a TARDIS trash can, send that rubbish through time and space!
The Doctor Who TARDIS Trash Can
Luckily all that rubbish is now in the TARDIS, but what about your actual laptop/computer – its filthy. You need something to suck up all that muck too. But something fun and silly that'll make the job more fun than just turning your keypad upside down.
The Electronics Cleaning Putty
Now that your workspace is looking its finest, everyone knows that any good workspace has a cat in it. Obviously. So your darling pet needs to stop trying to sleep on your warm laptop and needs its own play bed while you type all that brilliance.
Now, I wish I could say that I have all these things, or that the website was going to magically send them my way. But no, I'm just avoiding doing work and instead wishing for stuff I can't really buy. So while my cat sits next to laptop looking eagerly at the keypad I bid thee adieu and happy procrastinating.
– Mac

The people of Christ Church take to heart the Biblical description of hospitality: offering accommodations to strangers in our Home Stay Program. It is just that, a stay in one of our parishioner's homes. We know we may be "entertaining angels unawares." (Hebrews 13:2.) We maintain a small network of homes in which guest rooms are available at a moderate cost to visitors.
Our guests range from prospective Oberlin College students, parents visiting their students, alumni returning for reunions or alumni meetings, and visiting lecturers and other guests to the College and town. They might be from China or Russia or Boston or LA. Some might be Episcopalians, but most are not; we welcome into our homes all who contact us, give them a good breakfast, help them with insights about the town and College, provide directions, restaurant suggestions, and much more, all to make them feel at home. In return, we meet fascinating people, create life-long friends, and demonstrate Christ Church as a caring and loving community. Some of our visitors return again and again, declaring this to be their home away from home.
A mother of a senior college student recently shared she was sad that after her daughter graduates this May, she will no longer be coming to Oberlin to visit her long-time hosts. Is she an angel? Who knows? But definitely a friend, who has exchanged concern about health and parenting over a cup of coffee at a friend's kitchen table. This is Christ Church hospitality.
For information about accommodations, contact the Church office at 440-775-2501 or email@example.com

A healthy natural strawberry ice cream served in a cinnamon and sugar flour tortilla cup.
Preheat broiler to high. Spray a ramekin with cooking spray; set aside
In a small bowl mix together cinnamon and sugar; set aside.
Brush the flour tortilla with a little bit of water and sprinkle with cinnamon and sugar mixture. Gently fit the tortilla into the ramekin and place into the oven. Broil for 3-6 minutes, until the top is lightly browned (be sure to watch it). Set aside to cool for about 3-5 minutes.
Meanwhile in a blender or food processor, add frozen strawberries and milk and process until it reaches ice cream consistency. You may need a pinch more milk. Add about a teaspoon at a time until creamy. You can also add additional flavors to your strawberries such as sugar, chocolate chips, etc. If you do, blend again until incorporated.
Add your ice cream into your tortilla cup! Serve and enjoy.

Fee Range:
$30,001 - $50,000
Golf legend, Lee Trevino is an icon for Mexican Americans, and is often referred to
In 1968, his second year on the ciruit, Trevino won the U.S. Open at the Oak Hill Country Club, in (Rochester, New York). During his career, Trevino won 29 times on the PGA Tour, including six majors. He was at his best in the 1970s, when he was Jack Nicklaus's biggest rival. He won the money list title in 1970, with ten wins in 1971 and 1972. These included the 1971 U.S. Open, which he took in an 18-hole playoff over Jack Nicklaus. Two weeks later, he won the Canadian Open, and the following week The Open Championship, becoming the first player to win those national titles in the same year. Trevino was awarded the Hickok Belt as the top professional athlete of 1971. he also won Sports Illustrated magazine's "Sportsman of the Year" and was named ABC's Wide World of Sports Athlete of the Year.
Throughout his career, Lee Trevino was seen as approachable and humorous, and was frequently quoted by the press. Late in his career, he remarked, "I played the tour in 1967 and told jokes and nobody laughed. Then I won the Open the next year, told the same jokes, and everybody laughed like hell."
After he had been struck by lightning at the 1975 Western Open, Trevino was asked by a reporter what he would do if he were out on the course and it began to storm again. Trevino answered he would take out his 1 iron and point it to the sky, "because not even God can hit the 1 iron."
Trevino has also said: "I've been hit by lightning and been in the Marine Corps for four years. I've traveled the world and been about everywhere you can imagine. There's not anything I'm scared of except my wife."

Amy Mattingly's diagnosis came after her baby boy was born stillborn at 24 weeks. After giving birth to Leo, the 32-year-old went on to have her entire bowel removed and was fitted with an ileostomy bag.
However Amy, who lives in Bradford-Upon-Avon but previously lived in Bath, was later given the devastating news that the cancer had spread to her liver. She was told she had just months to live .
But now the web designer, originally from Canada, has successfully raised more than £20,000 which will allow her to undergo a new form of radiotherapy which could extend her life.
The treatment, Selective Internal Radiation Therapy, involves injecting microbeads of radiation directly into the liver. It is not currently available on the NHS and costs around £20,000.

Parkinson's disease is a chronic progressive, neurological disease that mainly affects movement. Parkinson's disease results from the destruction of nerve cells in a part of the brain called the basal ganglia. The nerve cells in this part of the brain that are primarily affected are called "substantia nigra" (Latin for "black substance"). When neurons in the substantia nigra degenerate, the brain's ability to generate body movements is disrupted. As a degenerative neurologic disease, Parkinson's is not reversible and becomes increasingly worse overtime.
People with Parkinson's disease often exhibit a "shuffling" gait, tremor of the arms and legs when they are resting, muscle stiffness, and stooped posture. Some individuals also have cognitive (thinking, judgment, memory) problems.
Who Gets Parkinson's Disease?
Estimates regarding the number of people in the United States with Parkinson's range from 500,000 to 1,500,000 with 60,000 new cases reported annually. There were nearly 17,000 Parkinson's disease‑related deaths in 2002. Since Parkinson's is more common in people 60 years old or older, it is expected that the incidence of Parkinson's will increase with the aging of the baby boomers. Although Parkinson's disease is more common in older persons, some people do begin to show symptoms before they are 40 years old.
Symptoms of Parkinson's Disease
All persons with Parkinson's do not develop the same symptoms and the symptoms change over time as the disease progresses. The primary symptoms of Parkinson's disease are:
- Rigidity or Stiffness: In addition to making movement difficult, stiffness can also cause muscle ached and muscles may tire easily. The number of people with Parkinson's disease who experience rigidity is estimated to be between 89% ‑ 99%. Muscle rigidity or stiffness is most common in the arms, shoulders, and neck.
- Tremor or Involuntary and Rhythmic Movements:Estimates of how many people with Parkinson's disease develop tremors range from 69% ‑ 100%. Of those who do develop tremors and involuntary movement of the hands, arms, legs and jaw, only a few develop tremors that are disabling. The tremor is usually most pronounced at rest. Involuntary movement often starts on one side of the body.
- Slow Movement / Loss of Movement: Slow movement is sometimes referred to as "bradykinesia" and loss of movement is known as "akinesia". Slowness occurs in 77% ‑ 98% of htose diagnosed with parkinson's disease. Some individuals also experience episodes of "freezing" where they cannot move for several seconds or minutes. This is often called an "on‑off" symptom.
- Balance and Walking Problems: These may result in a stooped appearance and shuffling gait and can cause falls. Most people do not develop postural problems until many years after they have been diagnosed.
Although there are no specific tests for Parkinson's disease, there are several ways of making a diagnosis. Usually a diagnosis is based on a neurological exam that covers evaluation of the symptoms and their severity. If symptoms are serious enough, a trial test of anti‑Parkinson's drugs may be used. Brain scans may be made to rule out other diseases whose symptoms resemble Parkinson's disease. Symptoms usually affect one side of the body more than the other side. There are always two primary symptoms present when a diagnosis of Parkinson's disease is made.
Hoehn and Yahr Staging of Parkinson's Disease
According to the Hoehn and Yahr scale there are five stages of Parkinson's disease.
- Stage One
- Signs and symptoms on one side only
- Symptoms mild
- Symptoms inconvenient but not disabling
- Usually presents with tremor of one limb
- Friends have noticed changes in posture, locomotion and facial expression
- Stage Two
- Symptoms are bilateral
- Minimal disability
- Posture and gait affected
- Stage Three
- Significant slowing of body movements
- Early impairment of equilibrium on walking or standing
- Generalized dysfunction that is moderately sev
- Stage Four
- Severe symptoms
- Can still walk to a limited extent
- Rigidity and bradykinesia
- No longer able to live alone
- Tremor may be less than earlier stages
- Stage Five
- Cachectic stage
- Invalidism complete
- Cannot stand or walk
- Requires constant nursing care
People with Parkinson's may also develop some of the following symptoms:
- Depression: Approximately 40% of people with Parkinson's disease develop depression, which can be treated with medication andlor counseling. It is important for people with Parkinson's disease and their caregivers to report signs of depression to the physician.
- Memory problems, mental confusion and/or dementia: Studies have indicated that more than 50% of people with Parkinson's have mild intellectual changes; about 20% have more substantial cognitive impairment. Memory problems in Parkinson's are typically milder than in Alzheimer's disease. In Parkinson's disease, the person may have difficulty concentrating, learning new information and recalling names.
- Speech problems: An estimated 60% to 90% percent of people with Parkinson's will develop some difficulty speaking. A person with Parkinson's disease may speak very softly in a monotone (hypophonia). Speech impairment is referred to as dysarthria and is often characterized as weak, slow, or uncoordinated speaking that can affect volume and/or pitch. The voice may sound hoarse or come out in short bursts. Often, speech problems worsen over time. Speech problems can be helped with speech therapy.
- Swallowing problems: At least 50% of people with Parkinson's develop swallowing problems (dysphagia) that may cause the person to drool, to spill food or liquid from the mouth or to send food to the back of the throat before it is ready to be swallowed. People with Parkinson's and their caregivers should take care to watch for signs of choking, food stuck in the throat, or increased congestion after eating. Due to difficulty coughing and clearing the lungs, people with Parkinson's also run an increased risk of developing pneumonia. Swallowing problems can be helped with speech therapy.
Additional symptoms may include:
- Restlessness
- Difficulty writing
- Anxiety
- Urinary tract infections
- Excessive sweating
- Sexual problems
- Sleep disorders
- Eyelid Closure
- Skin problems
- Lack of Facial Expression
Parkinson's and Dementia
People with Parkinson's disease who develop dementia tend to be older and to have developed the disease later in life. It is very important to have the dementia diagnosed accurately. Depression, which is common in people with Parkinson's disease, can sometimes cause the same symptoms as dementia. Also some of the medications used for Parkinson's disease can cause hallucinations. These medications can also make the symptoms of dementia worse. In older people, the dementia may not be a symptom of Parkinson's disease but could he a symptom of Alzheimer's disease. Therefore it is important for the person with Parkinson's disease and the family caregiver to work closely with his or her physician to rule out other possible causes for the changes in behavior and thinking.
Some of the signs of dementia in Parkinson's disease include slowed thinking, a more passive personality, memory problems, and trouble with decision‑making. There is a form of dementia called Dementia with Lewy Body (DLB), in which the person suffering from dementia also shows signs of Parkinson's disease such as slowness of movement, stiffness, tremor and falls. In general, if a person who has been diagnosed with Parkinson's disease begins to show signs of dementia within 18 months, it is likely that they have DLB rather than Parkinson's disease. People with DLB do not respond well to the medications used for Parkinson's disease such as Jevodopa. Dementia in DLB is different from that in Parkinson's. In DLB people may have very vivid hallucinations or delusions.
Living Well with Parkinson's
A good exercise routine should include strengthening and flexing all limbs, stretching legs and feet, walking, facial and breathing exercises, and specific exercises to gain better control in swallowing. An in home aide or caregiver can help with walking and accomplishing every day activities. People with Parkinson's lose the ability to move automatically. A good exercise program can help people with Parkinson's disease learn how to think about their movements and to plan their movements one motion at a time. "Move it or lose it" is the phrase that most people with Parkinson's learn to live by.
A speech therapist can help improve voice volume, quality, and articulation. Therapeutic exercises, including verbalizations and tongue movements, often can make a difference. In some cases where speech is severely impaired, a machine or computer‑generated voice can be used. It also may be important for families to learn new strategies to help the person communicate. If the person is confused, for example, it may be necessary to use verbal cues to understand or assist. The inability to articulate can be very frustrating. Offer reassurance and support. This may alleviate some of the person's anxiety over not being able to express a thought or need.
Diet also plays an important role in keeping a person with Parkinson's disease healthy and as active as possible. Choose foods that are easy to eat when someone is having problems swallowing. It is also important that people get enough nourishment. Some physicians recommend that people taking levodopa eat foods that are lower in protein because protein can make the levodopa less effective.
It is also very important for the person with Parkinson's and his or her caregivers to take care of themselves emotionally. Support groups can be extremely helpful. Many of the organizations listed in the resource section below offer support groups, counseling and additional information on Parkinson's disease and its treatment.

There's a compelling video circulating today, responding to a Rush Limbaugh monologue that he delivered Friday, criticizing U.S. intentions to send soldiers to Uganda to help fight the rebel group, Lord's Resistance Army (NPR story here).
This was part of Limbaugh's statement:
Lord's Resistance Army objectives. I have them here. "To remove dictatorship and stop the oppression of our people." Now, again Lord's Resistance Army is who Obama sent troops to help nations wipe out. The objectives of the Lord's Resistance Army, what they're trying to accomplish with their military action in these countries is the following: "To remove dictatorship and stop the oppression of our people; to fight for the immediate restoration of the competitive multiparty democracy in Uganda; to see an end to gross violation of human rights and dignity of Ugandans; to ensure the restoration of peace and security in Uganda, to ensure unity, sovereignty, and economic prosperity beneficial to all Ugandans, and to bring to an end the repressive policy of deliberate marginalization of groups of people who may not agree with the LRA ideology." Those are the objectives of the group that we are fighting, or who are being fought and we are joining in the effort to remove them from the battlefield.
Limbaugh's statement said President Obama was sending troops to "kill Christians."
Today, however, Evelyn Apoko, a survivor of atrocities at the hands of the LRA, told her story.

After printing Screen Daily's report on Cannes, one inquistive Cannes-watcher posted a question about the state of Hungarian master Bela Tarr's latest film "The Man from London" and whether it might be ready for the Croisette. Those familiar with the director's work know that a year ago the project looked as if it might be abandoned, after the film's French producer Humbert Balsan unexpectedly comitted suicide. The international FIPRESCI jury published a plea for help for the project, writing "Béla Tarr tries under devastating and humiliating conditions and by now without any protection to shoot his new film in Corsica without a producer."
But good news has arrived. Last week, Screen Daily reported in a story available at this Hungarian news site that "The Man from London" is back on track and will begin shooting in March, featuring an international cast, including Tilda Swinton, Czech actor Miroslav Krobot, British actress Leah Williams and Hungarian stars Janos Derzsi and Istvan Lenart. Based on the Georges Simenon novel, the film is now targeting a Cannes 2007 launch. For further update, I emailed German filmmaker and Tarr devotee Fred Kelemen, the director of photography on "The Man from London" and he confirmed the news: "I can infom you that we will not finish the shooting of the mentioned film before the end of the year," he said.

When it comes to scandals, we like to think that it is the clumsy cover-up, the lying that matters. As Maureen Dowd put it recently, "It is a truth universally acknowledged that it's not the scandal that kills you; it's the cover-up." But is it really? Do we honestly believe that if Anthony Weiner had stood up on national television, right from the beginning, and admitted the full scale of his virtual forays, the American public and the Democratic National Committee, and editorializers of all stripes, would have said "oh fine"?
And of course with yet more women coming forward, Herman Cain is still saying "There's not an ounce of truth to these accusations." He has called the airing of previous allegations "a witch hunt." We don't know for certain what happened in any of these cases, but it doesn't matter: The idea of his lying or evading—or what Dowd called "the cascade of malarkey"—has already become a central part of the public narrative. ("Man up and tell the truth," demanded one influential political blogger. James Carville said the lying means he's not fit to be president. A fellow conservative called for him to take a lie-detector test.)
The revelation that politicians evade certain uncomfortable truths when possible, that they are professionally trained to strenuously and creatively avoid answering certain questions, that they sometimes stretch that evasion into what the general public would probably categorize as "lying," cannot possibly be news to us.
In private life, the idea of someone lying to cover up a sexual indiscretion is so banal as to be hardly worth mentioning. Of course they lie! And one could argue that the motives they have for lying, say, protecting their family, are not universally craven or ominous. If we are being entirely honest, wouldn't many of us say that we can in fact understand and perhaps even sympathize with the impulse to lie?
And yet, the striking part of our ritual of public scandal is that pundits inevitably feign amazement that the politician tries to cover up the scandal. Every single time reporters, analysts, and citizens are astonished, outraged, shocked anew that the politician didn't just go ahead and admit what he did. Much ink is spilled, trees are wasted, videos posted, and yet, nearly every single politician with even the slimmest, most remote hope that they are not absolutely 100 percent caught, and even most of those who are, continue to lie or evade.
Let's just do the thought experiment: If Herman Cain had stood there, under television lights, and said: "I have been lonely, I have been misguided by power, and I have made passes at women who were perhaps unhappy that I did. I have perhaps overstepped in social situations in which I was still the boss, and I am sorry." Would the liberals attacking him attack him less? Would the conservatives defending him defend him more? Would his rivals cease their jubilant attacks? Or would it make, in the end, no difference at all? I would think the last because our judgments are hardwired, our outrage so automatic, our scripts about these things already written.
We are not as forgiving or fluid in our opinions as we pretend; the idea that it's the lie or the evasion that matters to us is a self congratulatory fiction. We are more comfortable objecting to the dishonesty, perhaps, in the chattering classes, in cities and other liberal pockets, because we like to pretend to a tolerance and sexual open-mindedness that we don't quite have.
In situations like this it can be useful to look farther back: If we think of a man who survived a scandal like Bill Clinton, the fact that he lied originally, in that famous moment, looked right into the camera and said "I did not have sexual relations with that woman," was not the salient feature of either the ultimate public forgiveness of his affair or his survival in the presidency. The truth is that we forgive our politicians or we don't, whether they lie or they don't, and the outcome is in no way dependent on that question.
In the past two decades the culture has retreated somewhat from the dangerous feminist reductionism of the phrase "the personal is political." These days people are more comfortable saying they are outraged that, say, Mark Sanford lied about his Argentine mistress, and said he was hiking in the Appalachian trails, than admitting that they wanted him to lose his job over that affair; easier to say that what they mind is Anthony Weiner lying about tweeting, not his Internet flirtations themselves, since he seemed to have broken no laws. It is the hypocrisy of our public narrative that we continue to pretend that the lie is what we cannot forgive; it is part of our singular admixture of Puritanism and tolerance that we are not able to respond to these scandals honestly ourselves.

It has been eventful year, to put it mildly—and nobody knows that better than the comedians trying to keep up with the news cycle as it lurches ever forward. But difficult as that job may be, the chaos has also led to a late-night renaissance.
As our weary nation trudges toward a new year, let's look back at the genre's most memorable moments from the last 12 months—a year that challenged every host to face a new reality, and their viewers' ever-changing expectations.
January 10: Seth Meyers interviews Kellyanne Conway
Early in the year, the Late Night host set the standard for conducting tricky interviews in the age of Donald Trump. As some comedians learned during the campaign, sitting down with Trump and his colleagues can be a risky proposition for those unprepared to walk a fine line between maintaining access and holding their subjects accountable. Stephen Colbert and Jimmy Fallon's campaign-trail interviews with the future commander-in-chief were both widely panned for being toothless, while Jimmy Kimmel's was merely uneventful—though at least he was game to try a little harder.
Meyers, on the other hand, came prepared when he sat down with Conway shortly before the inauguration—and, thanks to a twist of fate, he ended up speaking with her shortly after unverified reports suggesting that Russia had compromising information on Trump surfaced.
The highlight of the interview was Meyers disposition; both he and Conway treated one another with respect, but Meyers made it clear that he was not there to glad-hand. Instead, he got his biggest laughs when he called Conway out—politely, but unequivocally. Since then, other late-night hosts have welcomed controversial Trump-land figures to their shows—usually after their departure from the president's orbit—including Sean Spicer and Anthony Scaramucci. But Meyers's Conway interview remains the most memorable—and the hardest hitting.
May 1: Jimmy Kimmel gets political
Stephen Colbert might have finally established long-term ratings dominance over Jimmy Fallon this year—but it's arguably been an even bigger year for Kimmel, who has migrated toward the center of the late-night conversation thanks to a family emergency. In the spring, his son was born with a congenital heart defect. As a result, the ABC host found himself wading into somewhat unfamiliar territory: extended political monologues. Before, Kimmel was a prankish host happy to take shots at the president and his administration, but unlikely to really dig into policy. Since that first emotional monologue, Kimmel has become a vital voice in the fight for health care—even earning a nod from Bill Cassidy, a Louisiana Republican, who vowed that the health-care legislation he supported would have to pass "The Jimmy Kimmel Test." (Cassidy subsequently broke that promise, and Kimmel was not pleased.)
Beyond health care, Kimmel has gradually, if somewhat reluctantly, become a more progressive figure in pop culture. He's still typically reticent to wade into topics that don't hit close to home—but due to that selective balance, when the comedian does decide to sound off, his words have a major impact. Case in point: his tearful monologue about the Las Vegas shooting this autumn, which generated more attention than any other post-tragedy late-night address.
May 1: Stephen Colbert finally pushes Trump too far
Though 2016 was the real turning point for Colbert, the CBS host also enjoyed some big moments this year—particularly when he finally delivered a monologue that angered Trump so much that the president couldn't help but respond.
The joke came in May, after the president insulted Colbert's CBS colleague John Dickerson during an interview. "John Dickerson has way too much dignity to trade insults with the president of the United States to his face," Colbert noted in his monologue. "But I, sir, am no John Dickerson."
What followed was a rapid-fire string of insults that ended, you might recall, with a lewd joke. The president tried to hit back at Colbert with an inaccurate ratings knock, but it was no use. Colbert's only response? "I won."
"Mr. Trump, there's a lot you don't understand," the Late Show host said. "But I never thought one of those things would be show business. Don't you know I've been trying for a year to get you to say my name? And you were very restrained. Admirably restrained! But now you did it. I won."
May 7: John Oliver rallies his fans to save net neutrality
As the F.C.C. plans to repeal net neutrality, it's worth remembering that back in May, John Oliver rallied his viewers—for a second time—to defend it. The agency received 150,000 comments following the Last Week Tonight host's segment—five times as many as it had received in the month prior to the piece. Oliver is not airing new episodes this month, so denizens of the Internet will have to rally themselves this time around.
Although Oliver, like many late-night hosts, has done plenty of solid work in keeping his viewers informed about the Trump administration, this segment in particular stands out as an exemplary performance. Oliver's net-neutrality pieces speak to one of the HBO comedian's strongest qualities: his ability to inspire passion even around the most arcane of subjects. Oliver's explanations, always replete with humor and gimmicks like the creation of the Web site "gofccyourself.com," help combat apathy. That might be why he and his viewers have seemingly managed to crash the F.C.C.'s website both times he addressed the subject.
June 20: Trevor Noah reacts to the Philando Castile verdict
In June, the police officer who fatally shot Philando Castile, Jeronimo Yanez, was found not guilty—and Trevor Noah, who had already established himself as late night's most consistently insightful voice when it comes to police violence, delivered his most powerful monologue yet.
The Wednesday monologue—which remains one of Noah's strongest since he took over The Daily Show from Jon Stewart—was stunning. It also followed several days of scorching Castile coverage. That Monday, the comedian had asked why the N.R.A. did not offer any response to Castile's death, which happened after Castile disclosed that he was carrying a legal firearm in his car. On Tuesday, Noah released a Between-the-Scenes clip from that same monologue, in which he discussed his own experience with police as a black man in America. And then came the most emotional segment—in which Noah said, "When I watched this video, it broke me . . . it broke my heart into little pieces."
"It's one thing to have the system against you," Noah continued. "The district attorneys, the police unions, the court. That's one thing. But when a jury of your peers, your community, sees this evidence and decides that even this is self-defense, that is truly depressing. Because what they're basically saying is, 'In America, it is officially reasonable to be afraid of a person just because they are black.'"
July: Late-night defends transgender military personnel
Hosts across all networks stepped up when the president proposed banning transgender service members from the military. Noah went deep, interviewing two transgender former service members about their experiences, while just about every host found their own ways to address the matter. Perhaps the most memorable was a James Corden parody of "L-O-V-E," using the letters "L-G-B-T"—a lighthearted bit with topical bite. Similarly, Jimmy Fallon—who normally shies away from more politically charged subjects—offered his stage to transgender comedian Patti Harrison, who told her own jokes on the subject.
August: Late-night rallies around Charlottesville
As the nation reeled following the tragedy that unfolded in Charlottesville, Virginia—and Trump's subsequent comment that there had been violence "on many sides"—Seth Meyers offered a typically well-composed and powerful message to the president: "You can stand for a nation, or you can stand for a hateful movement. You can't do both. And if you don't make the right choice, I am confident that the American voter will." It was one of Meyers's best episodes of the year, and more proof that while Colbert and Fallon might have better ratings, the Late Night host is actually the genre's unsung hero.
Meyers's network neighbor, Fallon, also had a striking response to Charlottesville. He got visibly emotional as he described watching the news about Charlottesville while his two young daughters played in another room. "As kids grow up, they need people to look up to," Fallon said. "To show them what's right and good. They need parents, and teachers, and they need leaders who appeal to the best in us. The fact that it took the president two days to come out and clearly denounce racists and white supremacists is shameful. And I think he finally spoke out because people everywhere stood up and said something. It's important for everyone—especially white people—in this country to speak out against this. Ignoring it is just as bad as supporting it."
It was an unusual moment on The Tonight Show—one Fallon has not really replicated since. But it spoke to the gravity of the moment that even he felt that Trump's response could not go unchecked.
"We all need to stand against what is wrong, acknowledge that racism exists, and stand up for what is right and civil and kind—and to show the next generation that we haven't forgotten how hard people have fought for human rights," Fallon concluded. "We cannot do this. We can't go backward."
October 11: Samantha Bee calls out Harvey Weinstein
After a week of watching male late-night hosts struggle to figure out how to address the breaking news about Harvey Weinstein's sexual abuse allegations, Samantha Bee came after the disgraced producer with all the ferocity her longtime viewers expected.
"Listen up, creeps of Hollywood," Bee said as she capped off a furious monologue. "We know who you are. Weinstein isn't the only cool Democrat lurking in film-festival hotels waiting to play a jolly masturbation prank. Women talk to each other. And we talk to journalists. And we talk to lawyers. It's 2017. We don't have to put up with this shit. We are coming for you. Talk to every woman you work with like she has The New York Times on speed dial. Well, I guess it took the Times a little while to take care of business—O.K. Talk to every woman like she has me on speed dial. My show is only once a week. I've got some free time."
October 12: Robin Thede premieres The Rundown on BET
October saw the premiere of two new talk shows headlined by women: Robin Thede's The Rundown on BET and Sarah Silverman's I Love You, America on Hulu. (More on Silverman in just a minute.) Thede's series, which takes a combined look at pop culture and politics, offers a fresh perspective in the still overwhelmingly white late-night arena. (Thede is, in fact, the only black woman to host her own late-night program.) Her premiere was rock solid, and the show has only improved from there.
Thede told Variety ahead of her premiere, "I'm going to be able to give a perspective that's definitely not happening simply because I am a black woman, but I don't want people to watch just because of that. If that's the reason you tune in, that's great, but the reason you'll stay is because of what I'm saying," she says. "The jokes will be pointed. The jokes will be sharp." They have been.
November 21: Sarah Silverman opens up about Louis C.K.
Of all the Hollywood sexual misconduct stories to break, perhaps the most difficult for late-night hosts to grapple with has been Louis C.K. Which makes sense: as a fellow comedian, C.K. ran in similar circles to those of the hosts tasked with tackling the news of his abuses and served as a writer for Conan O'Brien and David Letterman. That's what makes it even more remarkable that Sarah Silverman, just weeks into her new gig as a talk-show host, offered perhaps the best response of all to the news—a clear-eyed look at both her friendship with C.K., and what his admission of misconduct meant.
"I hope it's O.K. if I am at once very angry for the women he wronged and the culture that enabled it," Silverman said in her monologue. "And also sad, because he's my friend. But I believe with all my heart that this moment in time is essential."
Silverman's soul-searching moment emphasizes the shift that's taken place across late night: a format originally designed for light comedy and softball interviews about upcoming movies has become something more complicated and serious. Alec Baldwin pinpointed the metamorphosis in a grumpy tweet apparently inspired by John Oliver's recent, charged discussion with Dustin Hoffman, even though that sparring match did not take place on a late-night program: "Talk shows were once promotional pit stops for some blithe chitchat about movies, etc.," Baldwin complained. "Now the likes of @iamjohnoliver and @StephenAtHome have flipped that and they are beginning to resemble grand juries."
He's not entirely wrong. But isn't the current state of late night a tinge more exciting than the old status quo?

Emory University
Psychosocial Well-Being Initiative Grant
This initiative offered a Happiness Boot Camp (HBC) to second-year students living in Harris Hall. With programs such as HBC, it is no surprise that one of the top pillars that emerged during Emory Campus Life's 2014-2015 strategic plan was flourishing.
The implementation not only included the Happiness Boot Camp, but several stakeholders wanted to create new technology that would make the living-learning community sustainable. This includes:
- Developing a Flourish Coaching program based on the VIA (Virtues in Action) self-assessment
- Bringing a Well-being course to the living-learning community
- Creating fellowship position who supervises flourishing advisors (FA's). These FA's would develop programs and experiential programs to apply new knowledge about well-being
- Common Readings
- Mentor Program

There are many methods out there that can be applied to studying the Bible. Yesterday we looked at the method of using guided or prewritten Bible studies. Today I want to introduce you to the SOAP method of Bible study.
I was first introduced to this method of Bible study through the Good Morning Girls online studies. This method is great because it can be used in correlation with other types of study. So if you desired to do a topical study on humility, you could SOAP any verses related to humility, or if you were doing a character study on Abraham, you could SOAP any verses that illustrate his faith.
So what does SOAP mean?
SOAP is an acronym that stands for:
Scripture…Read the Scriptures, but then write out the Scriptures.
Observation…Write down what you see in the Scriptures. What do you notice? Is there anything about the people or audience that stands out to you? Is there a word or phrase that you keep being drawn back to?
Application…How can you apply this to your life? What is God trying to tell you? Is this something I need to work on?
Prayer…Pray about the Scripture or rewrite the Scripture as a prayer.
The SOAP method of study is really a quick and simple method to go a little deeper into God's Word. It is a simple way to personally meditate on God's Word and to let it enrich your life.
I am providing a free SOAP printable for your use.

Buy Atman Hatchi Vaporizer for $119.99
The Atman Hachi is a specially designed for dry herb flower, made in Brazil Rose Wood which makes it appeasing to the eyes because of its natural beauty. It has a whole on the top where the mouth pieceis inserted.It is quite small,about 300g, meaning you can easily put it in your pocket and move with it wherever you want.
The Atmon vaporizer has a nice clear window, made of glass, making it easy to see how your vape is heating up.The window casement is magnetic so needs no screws to keep it in position. That's something unique about this product and makes it out standing. You can also change your screen if one wears out since the kit comes with an extra one.
Powering up
It is really cool for those that love wood curved products. It has a magnetic top so u don't spill. It does not have a micro USB charger but rather uses an iPhone 5Scharging cable. It comes with a screw driver and two extra mini screws for backup in case you lose the two that are already screwed to the vaporizer.
The vaporizer is just a button press on. It has a 1500 mah big power supply.On one side of the vaporizer is a light that blinks, as a warningin case something goes wrong or if the buttery needs charging. That is soo cool!
Fast heating
Hit the button for 10 seconds and you are good to vape. So it doesn't take long to start. The taste gets better after the second hit.Very convenient when you just hit a button to start heating meaning that you don't need a lighter to start the heating.
It heats between 0.3 and 0.6 sebum. Really pretty and very eye catchy. Very clean and for those that love camping, it is one that I would recommend since it does not need a lighter to heat it up. Good job Atmon!

Little info about pictures of Happy new year 2016
Which kings (kuningaz) ruled these Suiones is unknown, but Norse mythology presents a long line of legendary and semi-legendary kings going back to the last centuries BC. As for literacy in Sweden itself, the runic script was in use among the south Scandinavian elite by at least the 2nd century AD, but all that has come down to the present from the Roman Period is curt inscriptions on artefacts, mainly of male names, demonstrating that the people of south Scandinavia spoke Proto-Norse at the time, a language ancestral to Swedish and other North Germanic languages.

In recent weeks, student leadership team interviews have taken over my life. These one-on-one meetings are follow-up conversations to the written application filled out by each applicant. They typically take about an hour each.
I know that's a LOT of time to spend with potential leaders. But it's time well spent.
Student leadership team interviews give you an excuse to meet face-to-face with kids and to ask them hard questions about their lives and faith. Doing so deepens your relationship and ultimately, allows you to better minister to teens. By asking them hard questions during their interview, you establish a precedence that allows you to continue to do so in the future. That, in turn, makes it easier to confront teens when things go awry. Aside from that, interviewing potential student leaders helps you discern their role on your team.
To make the most of your time together, ask good questions.
Begin with some questions about the student's life outside of church. This is particularly important for students you don't know well, as it helps establish your rapport.
Then ask specific questions about things students wrote on their application. This allows students to clarify and expand upon what they wrote. It also show teens you read their application and that you care about them and the team. Throughout this process, ask students to "Tell you about a time when…" Such questions prompt concrete rather than abstract responses and give you a sense of how teens will react in real-life situations.
Ask students about their definition of leadership. Find out what they expect to do as a leader in your ministry. Such questions may reveal mismatched expectations that if not confronted up front, may lead to conflict later.
Ask returning applicants to reflect upon their experience on the leadership team thus far. Ask about what teens learned about themselves and others by being on the team. Find out how they've applied their leadership skills to situations outside of your youth ministry.
Finally, ask both new and returning leaders questions about their faith. How would they describe their current faith? How's it changed in the last year? What do they hope their faith will look like a year from now? Invite them to confess their doubts. Find out how you can pray for potential applicants and then take time during your interview to do so.
Don't be surprised if student leadership team interviews prompt some of your best conversations with teens.
That's certainly been my experience.
During a student leadership team interview the other day, I listened as a student excitedly told me about the joy she experienced this year in telling her friends about her faith. Moments later, she fought back tears as she told me, frustrated, "I'm just not sure what my gifts are."
This conversation wasn't just good, it was downright holy.
Take it from me. These are the kinds of conversations you can expect when you take time to interview potential student leaders.

YAY! We did it! Our Indiegogo campaign for 'Mind My Brains, Darling!' has ended and is a huge success! THANK YOU!!
After the excitement of reaching (and actually exceeding!) the goal we are forging ahead. This weekend we've been recording the exclusive, extra video for funders who donated $10 or more – and that's a lot of you! Hopefully it will be completed and up for you later in the week.
And there's more….
How about a part in 'Mind My Brains, Darling!'?
We know that many people would love to have a chance to contribute to a webseries if they could and see their names in the credits. So we're launching a competition that will give you the chance to do just that! And you don't even need to leave your house….
What we want:
A short (no more than 45 seconds) audio clip of you reading the MOST BORING RADIO ANNOUNCEMENT you can think of. In a POSH BRITISH ACCENT. You DO NOT have to be BRITISH to take part, we want to hear from people from all over the world, because this competition is open to you wherever you are. ANYONE can enter!
UPDATE: a FAKE British accent is FINE! Have a go no matter how bad you think it is…but do at least try
If you're not sure what we mean then go and have a listen to Lord Poncenby announce the 'Turning Left at Albuquerque' podcast chapters.
You can announce any sort of program you like but you need to start your audio with these words:
"And now British Radioweb Entertainment Worldwide is proud to present….." then the name of the show and short description. Then fill the remaining seconds (if any) with a portion of the program. Remember…BORING!!
Examples of programs you might announce:
Cooking with offal, Madame Le Croix's Guide to Etiquette and Manners, This week in your Victory Garden….the possibilities are endless, fire up your imaginations! If you want to reference things from the 70′s that is fine, but please no trademarks, slander or bad language (we have delicate ears).
There will be THREE WINNERS, to be announced two weeks after the competition ends.
CLOSING DATE is MONDAY 13 DECEMBER 2010.
Send your submissions to email@example.com with the subject line "Mind My Brains Radio Announcement Competition", or you can click below:
By sending in a submission you are agreeing:
- to let us use your clip in any way we want

- mp3 format only
- there is no music or sound effects (we only want your voice)
- you have read and understand the submission agreement
We can't wait to hear what you come up with!
ONE LAST THING…..we didn't want to make following us on Facebook or Twitter a part of the competition because not everyone uses them and we want as many people to enter as possible. BUT…please help us spread the word by tweeting and linking on Facebook if you can. Thanks!

KTM's Sam Sunderland takes a strong second in Dakar stage 3
Like many riders, Sam Sunderland's teammates Toby Price, the winner of stage two, and Matthias Walkner, both got into difficulties in the early part of the stage.
They, and many others lost time in their battle against difficult navigation, fesh-fesh, camel grass and riverbeds. Price was ninth in the stage and dropped in the overall standings to fifth position. Walkner, who incurred an overnight five-minute speeding penalty, was 11th in the stage and tenth overall. KTM Factory Racing teammate Laia Sanz finished 17th on her KTM 450 RALLY bike after the hard ride that took competitors from San Miguel de Tucuman to San Salvador de Jujuy – a total of 780 km with a total of 364 km over two timed specials. On a day that was particularly tough, Sanz is now 15th. Her goal is to improve on her 2015 result, her best so far at the Dakar, where she finished overall ninth.
Sunderland: "We knew the first 45 km were going to be tricky, but they were really tricky. There was a lot of vegetation, we were crossing through rivers and trying to find the piste again. It was really tough. We lost 10-15 minutes in the first 45 km and that was a bit frustrating, then in the second part of the special it was good, and I managed to push a bit. We knew it was going to be a tough day and there are still many more to come. We just take each day one at a time, and tick them off as we go. I want to arrive at the finish this year. That's very important for me, and we still have a long way to go."
Price: "It was a hard stage and the first 70 km was really difficult. If you didn't hit your marks exactly right and get all your way points at the times you needed to, then your road book got all out of whack and you had to recalibrate and sort out where you were. I went a little bit too left in the first one and then I couldn't find it. I ended up doing an extra 10-12 km more than I needed to today. We just have to put that day behind us."
Walkner: "Today was not so good and I sometimes got lost at the beginning of the stage. It was heavy to start with Toby in the front, but I think everyone got lost a couple of times because it was tricky navigation. Then after the neutral part I was late arriving for the start of the second part of the special. The time calculated was very short and I hope I will get some of this back again. It was not really a good day, but there are still more to come."
Stage 3 was a test, perhaps the first real test of what Dakar Rally Sports Director and former five-time Dakar winner Marc Coma has promised will be one of the most difficult editions ever. Not only was the day's ride long and hard, they also encountered temperatures ranging from the high 30s Celsius before climbing to 4000 meters altitude in the Andes where it was was only around 5 degrees Celsius.
On Thursday riders leave Argentina and travel north to Tupiza in the south of Bolivia – another brutal ride of 521 km, of with 416 km is timed. It will be another high altitude day with the additional challenge of tackling dunes at around 3,500 meters. Rain is also forecast for their destination.Foto: Marcelo Maragni / Red Bull Content Pool
