From the outside looking in I'm sure that sometimes this marathon training stuff must look pretty easy.
Joe goes out, knocks out 8, 10, 12, 20, 22 milers at will. Runs his hill repeats, two runs on Tuesdays, races half-marathons …. no problem.
Well, it really isn't that easy.
There are plenty of days where the muscles ache, I am monitoring a sore area trying to discern the slight difference between "soreness" and "injury".
Soreness we work our way through. Soldier on, do the best we can and stay the course. It is on those days the marathoner is chiseled from stone.
But when pain and soreness is the precursor to injury – that is when it is far more important to be smart than tough.
Over the final 5 miles of my 22-mile training run last Sunday I noticed some soreness on the top of my right foot. A runner's feet swell a bit over the course of a long run, and it appeared that I simply ran long in shoes, or more specifically, a right shoe that was tied too tight.
I pressed on, finished the 22-miler, my best long run of the training cycle in fact, and went about my usual post-run recovery.
I ran my double workout on Tuesday, an easy paced 12-miler on Wednesday and finally my hill repeat session on Thursday. After four days the discomfort on the top of my foot should have been gone. But it was still there. Nagging at me, letting me know that it was a warning sign. Time to back off.
So this weekend I decided to skip my Saturday and Sunday runs. 12 miles on Saturday, followed by another 22-miler on Sunday. Squashed.
I took it easy, tried to stay off of my feet the best I could, although Landry was pretty determined to make sure Dad was still chasing her around the house quite a bit.
I woke up on Monday morning, put the Tri Bike up on the trainer in the garage and rode hard for 60 minutes. The kind of low-gear, hard-cranking workout that simulates a hard training ride up and down hills on the road. Not just an easy spin in high-gear.
After a sweat-soaked hour, I got down off the bike and my foot felt very good. I no longer had that nagging pain on the top/inner side of my right foot, and tomorrow morning we will fall back into our marathon training schedule for Boston.
Missed training days are just that. Missed.
There is no reason to attempt to "make them up" or "squeeze them in" to your remaining schedule. That approach is the one that causes runners and endurance athletes to miss even more training time due to injury, turning a precursor or warning signal into a full-fledged problem.
I may not be getting any younger, but hopefully with age comes a bit of wisdom.
Yeah, it pretty much sucked this weekend missing my runs, but they are gone.
34 miles missed out of more than 1,250 preparing for Boston will be the equivalent of removing a handful of sand from an entire beach. They will hardly be noticed.
Being 100% healthy at the starting line in Hopkinton, MA on April 16th is all I need to be concerned with, so I backed off and played it safe this weekend.
There will be plenty of opportunities to "go for it" at Boston. This past weekend, just wasn't one of them.

A Child's View
What children look at and what they don't—in other words, what captures their attention—is strongly influenced by genetics, found researchers at Emory's School of Medicine, Marcus Autism Center, Children's Healthcare of Atlanta, and Washington University School of Medicine.
"How a child looks at the world is how she learns about the world," says Warren Jones, Nien Distinguished Chair in Autism at Emory and senior author of the study, which was featured in Nature. "Each eye movement, happening every half-second, shapes brain development. So you can imagine these effects rippling forward, creating the way a child sees and understands her world." The study examined 338 children—including 82 identical twins (same genetics) and 84 non-identical twins (shared genetics, as with any sibling). Researchers used eye-tracking technology to measure each child's eye movement while they watched videos of childhood scenes.
Identical twins were nearly identical in the way they watched the videos. For non-identical twins, that match fell to about 10%. Identical twins were also more likely to move their eyes at the same time, in the same direction, toward the same location and the same content, mirroring one another's behavior to within 17 milliseconds. When the twins were tested again more than a year later, identical twins remained almost perfectly matched, but non-identical twins were slightly less matched than before.
Earlier research by members of the team showed that babies who look progressively less at people's eyes are more likely to have autism.
With these new results in twins, the team has found a specific behavior highly influenced by genetics and directly linked to autism risk.

Day 4: Working Does The Body Good
Here I am at the end of day 4. I gotta say, as much as going back to work after a long weekend sucks, it is very helpful when trying to diet. There are no temptations at my job. Sometimes we have a big container of nuts, but besides that there is only water. So today was a very successful day. I did have some tortilla chips with salad tonight for dinner, which wasn't sugar, but made me feel gross. I started to feel that need for something sweet afterwards, so I went for a run and eventually it went away. Each day gets a little easier!
Here is a link about the "Sugar Busters! Diet" Which tells you which foods to eat and not eat. I must say they have a lot of protein choices that I do not eat (kinda a vegetarian).. According to this diet sugar is toxic!

Government as a Reflection of a People
Popularity 4||
Over the last few months I have had a 'ringside seat' to the slew of stories coming out of Washington and elsewhere about the revelations of the 'Snowden Affair'. It has been interesting to watch as the 'great secret' that the United States Government has been operating a monitoring network that equals, if not surpasses, the dreaded 'Great Firewall of China', seeing the reactions and counter-reactions of different groups across the entire political spectrum 'make sense' of what is occurring. The communication devices and systems that most people in the 'Free World' have taken for granted for decades are now as questionable as anything produced in China? All the actions that are done in a day tracked and catalogued to minute detail? Who would have thought?
For those with a calloused eye towards history, it has been staple for any group of people that have been living with a sustained sense of fear, whether it be of fellow neighbors, nature, or simply manifestations of an over-active collective mind. I have had the belief for years now that governments (whether they are democratic, republican, people's republican, religious, military, dictatorship, etc.) are a reflection of the people it is suppose to 'protect and serve'. Depending on the amount of fear in a people, the form and flavor of its government will reflect back level of 'security and protection'. Whether that 'security and protection' actually works and is really in the best interest of the people will be a matter of some intense debate, but it can be the source of additional fear for the people.
But how does one live within such 'security and protection' without living with fear of said security? I would be foolish to suggest that what holds true in one country can easily apply to another, given that we humans are a very diverse and splendid entity on whole. What I can say is this, 'total security' is a utopian ideal that has not been achieved in the length and breadth of human history. Every day that we wake up and go about our business, there are degrees of risk involved – whether they are natural or human based. While we can reduce the risks, we cannot make them 'totally go away'. It makes up part of the mantles of responsibility we carry each day.
So when I see the various government leaders around the world (Presidents, Prime Ministers, Party Chairmen/women, Dictators, and the like) promise that any and all actions that are considered taboo to the individual, but vital to the government for 'total security', I think to myself, "Who are you really trying fool? The people that you 'serve', or yourself?" Fear lasts only for so long and it can only 'influence' for so much. Once it is gone, it is replaced by torrential wellsprings of rage, hate, and/or indifference that cannot be held 'in-check' even by the most Herculean of efforts. Many a politician has learned this the hard way, much like what Shamans, Priests, Rabbis, Imams, Reverends, Commissars and the like have come to witness over the centuries: Once a faith is broken, it cannot be 'fully restored to its past glories'.
For myself on a personal level, I have never harbored any illusions since I started making my voice known – there is most likely a dossier of some sort kept by more than a few government entities around the world. Yet I realize that the same holds true the various other entities I have interacted with over the decades, whether it be the news outlets I have written to or for around the world, the local grocery store I have a membership with, or the various other businesses that have 'data mined' my every habit to attempt to sell me a good or a service. To that end, I have accepted the level of risk, picked up my mantle of responsibility, and continued on in my daily life, speaking plainly and raising an arched eyebrow to those that say, "Shouldn't you be afraid?" Maybe, maybe not, but I will continue to live my life, regardless of what the reflections in Washington, Beijing, and around the world are showing.
Dossier on either side, no doubt about it.

- Interesting. You suggest that that no matter what the form of the government/leaders, they do really represent a sum-total or an average of the fear and insecurity of the people that they govern. Also by reflecting this back to the people, do you mean the policies that the leaders/governments put out? Would it imply that on the average the American people are as paranoid and afraid of the rest of the world and as arrogant, selfish, hypocritical and war-mongering as their leaders are perceived to be? Would it imply that if the people were on the average happy in a country and prospering, then their leaders are actually representing their collective will, no matter what the system? I agree that all governments since times immemorial spied on their own people and others, such are the ways of power. So is the issue only one of hypocrisy, when one leader loudly and indignantly blames another? And is it that in this matter of spying on ones own people the average opinion of the people in a country is that, they really dont mind being spied on by their own government, never mind what the laws of the country are?

- What is found in the reflection with America, along with other countries, is a wide collection of thoughts and ideals that are in a constant state of flux. As for the actions... that too is a reflection of a population that has really shirked its responsibilities as citizens participating their civic duties - whether it be voting or jury duty. Given what has been paid to insure those responsibilities are there to begin with, versus other forms of government, it is galling on many, many levels.

- Okay... to make a public answer to a private question, when it comes to the question of voter turnout, I look towards the policy of mandatory voting in Brazil, and the results that have come from it. Because of that, I do believe that regardless of the country (China, Brazil, the U.S., and elsewhere), there is going to be a certain percentage of the population that will drive the remaining percentage crazy, regardless of the options made available.

NORTH AMERICA COUNTRY FLAGSThe National Flag of America
On 14 June 1777, the Continental Congress passed an act to create an official flag for the new country. This stated that the North American flag will have 13 stripes, alternated with red and white; that the union will consist of 13 stars, white in a blue field, representing a constellation. On 3 August 1949, President Harry S. Truman formally proclaimed June 14 as the National Flag Day.
Today, the US flag has 50 stars depicting all the states of the nation. It is a flag that symbolises hope.
The historical backdrop of the North American Flag is as entrancing as that of the American Republic itself. It has survived fights, inspired numerous songs and hymns. The flags of North American countries depict the struggles theyâve faced in achieving freedom and independence.
The Canadian Flag
The Canadian Flag is an aftereffect of the commitment of many. The way toward picking the flag was a long one that involved national discussion. The national flag of Canada comprises of a red background with a white square at its middle, one of which sits an 11-pointed red maple leaf. The width of the white square is the same as the consolidated width of the two red groups.
Red symbolizes hope and strength. White stands for peace and serenity, thus reflecting lack of bias and the unprejudiced nature of Canadians. It was perhaps taken from the illustrious French symbol, and the maple leaf speaks to Canada's rich social legacy and its resources.

I am extremely crazy about puppies. They are some of the most adorable creatures that exist on the planet.
I do not at all understand how and why certain people in the world go around abusing and mistreating them.
There is no logical explanation except for them being mentally ill and/or deranged. A lot of people are sick minded. Low and degenerate.
Doing the most despicable things.
For all of my life I have been an animal lover. I had a set of the most cute "teddy bear" hamsters when I was about ten years of age.
One hamster was a pretty light tan color and the other was a pretty light brown and white.
I had both a male and a female. And they would always fight one another for the possession of the wheel that was hooked onto the inside of their cage.
Eventually I had to purchase another wheel to place inside of the cage.
As I thought I had solved the problem between my two competitive pets, I was wrong.
The male hamster would get out of one of the wheels that he rode just to go and push out the female from the one that she rode in.
He would continue on back an forth doing the same routine constantly.
His name was Toby.
I named both my hamsters Tiffany and Toby.
Tiffany could never get any peace.
Toby was always bothering and fighting her when she went to eat, play on the wheel, and while she went to rest.
He'd even chase her around the cage from time to time.
Things got to be a bit more serious as I had began to see Tiffany bleed. Toby would bite her hands and feet.
I immediately separated them apart from one another.
I placed Tiffany inside of a cage by herself and from then on she was much more content and at peace.
The only reason that I could come up with at the time-for Toby's negative behavior-and still rationalize now til this day is that Toby may have wanted and tried to mate with Tiffany but she continued to instinctively refuse his rodent advances.
I have had quite a few puppies that I shared my home and life with through out the years.
However, the most recent puppy that I had was the most unique and strangest of them all. She was mysterious in her own specific way. Yet at the same time she was very bright, funny, and affectionate.
And I did come to love her a lot within the short time that we spent together.
I adopted the two month old light tan and white mixed Labrador Retriever that had the prettiest dark brown eyes from North Shore Animal League in the month of September 2011.
When I first brought the puppy that I named Lailah home I noticed that she was already paper trained.
I was impressed.
I never had a young pup who would automatically relieve them self on newspaper without me constantly having to make an effort to train them.
Not only was I amazed by Lailah's intelligence to have already learned where to appropriately poop-and what to properly poop upon-I was also astonished, delighted, and tickled by her gracious and prompt attitude.
When I or my mother would go to clean up behind her she would always run up to us, wagging her tail.
She'd then lick one of us and give us a little nip on the skin with her teeth-as to happily say "thank you".
If one of us were late in picking up her dirty newspaper that was stained with feces or urine she'd summon to us by barking.
I could not believe how much sense this new puppy of mine had.
How can I say that though when I know I had a dog before who was extremely keen, and have come across other exceptionally intelligent canines who would amaze one with excitement.
It is not at all hard for me to imagine the stories and experiences that many people could tell about their most special and treasured pets.
Aside from the positive advantages that came along with adopting Lailah there was a few negative aspects as well.
Lailah appeared to have an unnatural fear.
She would not go to eat at her bowl unless no one was close by around her.
If Lailah heard someone's footsteps she would instantly run away to her rest area then quickly make a u-turn run back towards the direction where the person left from.
Whenever I tried to walk her on a leash she'd refuse and pull back fiercely.
Lailah would not budge while she was on a leash and collar.
She also would never leave the second floor of the house. She never walked down the stairs. I had to carry her up and down the steps.
Otherwise she was a very normal puppy.
Lailah was very greedy and loved to eat just like most other canines. She loved to bark, bite, play, and chew onto things just like the rest of them do.
There was just something not right within her spirit that she needed to overcome and eventually she seemed to be making progress.
Every day when I would come home from work I could here Lailah upstairs whining in anticipation to greet me.
And when we'd meet one another inside of my bedroom she'd charge at me with expressions of love, jumps, and licks.
Lailah slept in bed with me every night even though she had her own pillow bed. I was unable to keep her off of my bed.
I had gained her trust.
Lailah had gotten use to her surroundings and to the three people living their within our home.
She surprised me one day when the doorbell rang and she barked. I was so proud of her.
Lailah had totally reacted on her own. By her own natural instincts.
I know that gradually she would have come more out of the acute negativity that was plaguing her due to the love and encouraging environment that I had provided for her well being.
However, Lailah did not get the opportunity to conquer and develop into the true canine that she had the potential to grow up to become.
Due to certain circumstances I had to relocate to a new home and neighborhood and unfortunately my lanlord did not allow pets.
I reside in a nice and comfortable apartment building right now.
One day I will move into another house or find an apartment that I can afford that will allow puppies and dogs.
I returned Lailah back to North Shore Animal League by the time she was eight months old. It was a sad departure.
I will never forget her.
The adoption shelter claimed that they were a no kill safe environment for animals and that they would not euthanize Lailah.
Nevertheless, she had to be evaluated before they were able to accept her back there at the facility. And she was not responsive to their efforts.
Lailah still would not walk on a leash. She was terribly frightened while in the shelter's care.
Lailah had found a sense of comfort and familiarity at home with my family and I. The animal shelter-even with all of their experience could not understand what she was going through-but I did.
There was not anything that I could do about the situation. I had to sign Lailah back over to North Shore Animal League and get on with my life.
A few months after I moved into my new apartment I had a precognitive dream about the complicated puppy that I was meant to help.
I dreamed that Lailah was sharing a space within the spiritual realm where my other dog of seventeen years peacefully resides.
I know that there are many people in the world who do not believe in spiritual visions and things of this nature but for those who do the experience is real and meaningful.
I get visits from both of my pets now and again.
At least I know now that Lailah is free in any and every way possible from all of the fears that were effecting her character and growth (her sweet and innocent soul).
Lailah is definitely in a much better and safer place.

The Madeleine McCann Netflix documentary trailer is here and it's giving us chills
Whether you're into pop legends, whodunnits, or against-the-odds stories of survival, the streaming giant Netflix has a critically-acclaimed documentary for everyone.
Now, we've another to add to our weekend to-watch list: a new true-crime documentary about the disappearance of British schoolgirl, Madeleine McCann.
The eight-part docuseries, which hits Netflix on Friday March 15, will explore the story of the missing three-year-old and interview key investigators from the case in the run-up to the 12th anniversary of the disappearance. The trailer has just been released and it's super gripping...
Madeleine's parents, Kate and Gerry McCann, have refused to take part in the controversial documentary.
In a statement issued on March 7, the couple said that the documentary could affect the police investigation.
The couple said: "We are aware that Netflix are planning to screen a documentary in March 2019 about Madeleine's disappearance.
"The production company told us that they were making the documentary and asked us to participate.
"We did not see - and still do not see - how this programme will help the search for Madeleine and, particularly given there is an active police investigation, it could potentially hinder it.
The couple also said that their "views and preferences" have not been reflected in the programme.
Here's everything you need to know about the new documentary.
I'm GLAMOUR's Entertainment Director and this is the Netflix true crime documentary I think you *need* to watch RN
What's it about?
The documentary will explore the disappearance of Madeleine McCann, who was just three-years-old when she went vanished from the Portugese tourist resort of Praia de Luz in May 2007
Madeleine had been left alone sleeping alongside her twin younger siblings in the family holiday apartment, while her parents were dining at a tapas restaurant nearby.
The search for the toddler went on to become the most high profile missing persons case in history, with both a Portuguese police and an £11 million Scotland Yard investigation launched in an attempt to locate the missing girl.
The new Netflix series will speak to key figures and investigators involved in the case, tracing the events leading up to the disappearance.
Will Madeleine's parents appear?
Gerry and Kate McCann will not be taking part in the upcoming documentary.
According to The Sun, the couple reportedly declined to be involved in the series due to the Metropolitan Police's ongoing investigation into the disappearance of their daughter.
"We would have welcomed the opportunity of working with the McCanns directly but they informed us they couldn't and wouldn't consider taking part while a police investigation is into their daughter's abduction is ongoing," a source close to the filmmakers revealed.
"But we have interesting new interviews with people close to the inquiry and we believe we can give justice to this unbelievably tragic story."
A friend of the McCann's told the Daily Mail: 'We understand it is a serialised drama but neither Kate, Gerry nor their holiday friends and main players have co-opertated in any shape or form. And we have no idea who the actors are. We believe it is coming out very soon, within the next two weeks and before the next anniversary.
The investigation, named Operation Grange, is currently waiting to hear from the Home Office whether it will be granted extra public funding to continue the search.
When will it air?
The documentary is airing on Friday 15 March.

On May 31 there will be a lot of paper folding going on in and around the Greek city of Thessaloniki. The municipality is on a mission to break into the Guinness Book of World Records by constructing the world's largest origami structure -- in this case a 400-meter-tall (1,312 feet) replica of the town's presiding landmark, the White Tower, comprised of an expected 40,000 individual pieces of origami. But this isn't just a bid for obscure glory -- it's also a somewhat roundabout attempt to raise recycling awareness.
The stunt is the brainchild of Greek social anthropologist and origami teacher Myrto Dimitriou in collaboration with the Youth, Sports and Volunteers department of the Municipality of Thessaloniki. Hong Kong holds the current record with a 320-square-meter (3,444 square feet) origami structure.
"We want to send a message of hope, optimism and show the importance of recycling," Dimitriou told the Greek Reporter. It's safe to assume that all the paper used in the attempt will ultimately be recycled, though no word on whether the city is making any attempt to ensure paper from recycled sources is being used to generate the origami army.
Also no word on whether there will be paramedics standing by to deal with the coinciding record number of paper cuts.

Construction has started on a development project known as the Merano located on the last open parcel of the Bulfinch Triangle. Of the three open parcels created by The Big Dig, the first parcel was developed into an apartment complex called the Victor while the second was developed into a luxury apartment building called One Canal.
When completed, the Merano will mark the full development of the Bulfinch Triangle. This latest development project is part of several massive development projects in the area, including the redevelopment of the TD Garden, the redevelopment of the Government Center Garage, the West End Tower and Avalon Tower.
Originally slated as a 12-story building that would hold two major hotels, the project was recently changed in order to win city approval. Now this $230 million development project has grown to a 14-story building that will have underground parking to accommodate the parking lot, which currently sits on the lot. Half of the building will be a 220-room hotel while the other half will hold 239 apartments.
All of the apartments in the building will be reserved for working class people whose income fall into a certain bracket. With the major building boom in Boston, many neighborhoods around the city have seen a rise in property values and increased rents. Many local politicians have advocated for the creation of price controlled housing so that working people will not be pushed out of Boston by rising rents.
The first floor of the building will be reserved for street level retail space. There is no doubt that the project will have a positive impact on the surrounding area. Many of the projects supporters have pointed out that the new residents and hotel guests will be a boost to shops and restaurants nearby.

From total isolation and grave-like lows to feeling like she's on Venus, here, in her own words, Hayley Denise Sawkins tells of living with bipolar affective disorder
"Before the illness struck at 25 years of age, I was gregarious, vivacious, outstanding and ambitious.
"At 14, I had a Saturday job in London's Hampstead which I loved, not only serving the public but I remember the delicious sandwiches from the wonderful Jewish deli.
Hayley Denise Sawkins, left, with the memorial bench to her mother
"I would sometimes take myself to Keats House. I was intrigued by his stunningly beautiful play-on-words poetry.
"Other times, I could be found sitting on the heath known as the Village of London – so terribly peaceful. There I remained for three years in sales.
"At 16, I left Camden School for Girls rather proud but not complete as such, as from the age of 11 it was found I was dyslexic, with reading and spelling difficulties.
"To this day I still rely on my Franklin pocket speller, not a keen typist at all. Having dyslexia made me painfully shy and I dreaded exams.
"I did my very best, say no more, and stepped into the world of fashion as a buyer assistant for a leading fashion house, again in London.
"Funny now, I look back there as my boss, Ms Kretish, would from time to time come to my parent's house for supper.
"I remember her distinctly saying to my mother: "Hayley has rather a unique eye for fashion and works relentlessly with the running of the establishment.
"However, she seems to be doing things remarkably quickly and at times her concentration goes adrift."
Hayley with friends Debbie Haynes, Tracy Carr and Marie Jordan at the Talk It Out wellbeing centre in Deal
"She said I exhibited some high-octane patterns of behaviour.
"I stayed in this position for 18 months – five days a week plus Saturdays at Hampstead Shoe Shop, a specialist in large footwear.
"I saved more or less every pound and shilling as I had a desire by the age of 18 to return to Australia.
"My parents took us for the very first time to Australia one Christmas – I was 15.
"We arrived Christmas morning and were met by my mum's cousins who had settled there very nicely and lived in a posh suburb of Sydney.
"The house was stilted and at dusk and dawn you could see the Blue Mountains.
"Thirteen years ago, my brother, Tim, and sister-in-law emigrated to Western Australia. Thank goodness my brother has a healthy, brilliant brain.
"Now with this introduction, I begin to write more on bipolar affective disorder.
"I finally value my life at this stage… it has taken so many years of feeling ashamed" – Hayley Denise Sawkins
"I have never worn a watch and nine times out of 10 I have an accurate placement awareness of precision timing.
"I have chosen to write my second article. The Matter of One's Mind, my first publication, was at Stephen Fry's office at Mind's head office in Oxford Circus.
"In fact it was five years ago this article was discovered and read by over 30,000 other sufferers.
"I wrote it directly after my mother's natural death and in memory of a young lady, Zoe, a victim to manic depression, a rapid cycler, as I am, and who tragically took her own life.
"What a tremendous loss to this day. I still see her as my rainbow.
"Here goes my mother's serious suicide attempt. I was in Australia into month nine, almost 18, and I had excelled remarkably, gained a sponsor and been offered full-time employment as office junior in Sydney with a permanent entry to Australia.
"Due to exceptionally difficult circumstances it was then that I had to return.
"It was always a Sunday night weekly, exactly at 6pm, that my parents called me from the UK.
"Those days the home telephone line plus those light blue air-mail letters were the only means of communication.
"This particular Sunday it was my dad's voice that said hello. Usually it was my mother's. 'Hayley, your mother isn't well at all. She has, as it seems, a problem with her nerves'.
"I didn't quite grasp exactly what this meant. What I did automatically think and feel was that I wanted to repair her.
"I returned home to the UK within one week. This next chapter to this very day still punctures my heart. I am crying as I write.
An invitation from Hayley's mother's memorial service
"What then was her very last thought? Thoughts of a beautiful lady with a terrific husband – totally monogamous – two great kids that were young adults and a fabulous home in London's Muswell Hill.
"The Royal Free Hospital actually saved her life. Her heart had given up after she had taken a massive overdose of Ativan, otherwise prescribed as Valium.
"How on earth was this given out on a repeat 28-day prescription? Miraculously, she survived.
"Only that she had built up part resistance to this drug somehow prevented her death.
"My aunt found her in the nick of time. She was sectioned for three months and it took two years in total with the medical team to stabilise her.
"She was offered electric shock treatment or a well researched medication known as lithium, alongside her family unit support network, and with her own determination and tremendous efforts to achieve a level of stability.
"She was given 800mg daily of lithium with regular blood works to ensure her therapeutic level was completely correct.
"This drug can have fatal consequences of toxicating the body. It's not everyone's first choice due to the profile of some damaging side effects.
The Talk It Out well-being centre located at The Landmark Centre in Deal
"At the age of 66, my mother passed away peacefully. I was assured all her main organs had shut down.
"She took this medication for more than 30 years and often said it was the lesser of two evils.
"She was a fantastic example of life – flamboyant, candid, astonishing, at times versatile, exceptionally attentive to her own insight medically and a well respected lady within the community, and above all she always thought people were more important than anything.
"She was curious and forever interested in supporting others through their trials and tribulations.
"This quality I fortunately inherited. Thank you forever there, Mum.
"What was exceptionally difficult for her to accept was my diagnosis at the age of 25.
"Two doctors – the first Dr Sarsed, at a practice in Whitstable – diagnosed me instantly. I was hyper manic that entire summer.
"At the time, my mother and father were successfully self-employed, trading in antiques between Whitstable and Greenwich.
"Some very concerned customers and friends, on several occasions, went to my mother's shop and said: 'Valerie, what on earth is wrong with Hayley? She isn't right at all'.
"The display went on. By September, I was full-blown manic and had to have another home visit – an injection to bring me down.
"I just hope by taking a little time myself that this story may well help and support others that may read it" – Hayley Denise Sawkins
"To follow, a possible section at St Martin's in Canterbury. Immediately, the decision was made that I should be taken to The Priory for further help and expertise.
"It was a German doctor, Dr Stein, who explained things. It was undoubtedly hereditary and he profusely told my mother to ease up on her self-blame pain.
"I look back, now at the age of 51, and it is quite a miracle that I remain in the game of life as such.
"This illness has certainly distorted my life and taken its toll over the years with problematic mainstream medications breaking down my immune system.
"I religiously take two leading mood stabilisers plus 7.5mg of zopiclone when needed.
"I have chronic, sporadic sleep patterns. It's incredible that I can function on as little as four-and-a-half hours a night for weeks on end.
"My energy levels are particularly high and I try absolutely everything to reduce them, for example I walk up to 30 miles a week, most often with my terrific dad, Dennis.
"Him, alongside my remarkable razzle-dazzle daughter, Roxanna, 30, have been my main lifelines along with other family members. Thank you always.
"Other coping mechanisms are from the practise of meditation at home but soon I will return to a lovely lady, Dr Ingrid Dodd at the Golf Road Centre, Deal. Her ancient practice is excellent.
"I have a very careful diet –mainly omega-3, masses of avocados, coconut water for the immune system and I work closely with my dietician's advice as my weight sits at seven stone and my BMI is rather worrying.
"At the moment, I see my marvellous consultant as and when needed.
"I finally value my life at this stage. It has taken so many years of feeling ashamed.
"It's not easy being placed on the mental heath register at 26. Now I feel, at last, the government is looking at the picture.
"Before I finish I would like to give a tremendous mention to both Tracy Carr and retried psychotherapist Marie Jordan for their outstanding efforts launching the Talk It Out Thursday evening support group over five years ago and I highlight their Talk It Out wellbeing centre at the Landmark Centre in Deal, open every weekday, all year round, for those in isolation or in need of secure, understanding friendships.
"Please do not hesitate to contact Tracy Carr on 07923 096273, if you would like to make a donation of any shape or form to enable this centre to remain long-term.
"They have so far had some fantastic backing from Kent Police.
"I just hope by taking a little time myself that this story may well help and support others that may read it.
"On a brighter note, I once sold one of my poems A Deeper Love for a fiver. If I can support anyone in any way please email firstname.lastname@example.com"
Hayley, 51, who lives in Sholden has titled her story A Language Understood and wants to raise awareness during Mental Health Month and show her support to the Talk It Out Wellbeing Centre at Deal's Landmark Centre.
Hayley gives special thanks to: Alistair Gould and all at the Pines Gardens in St Margaret's, Joan Bull at the British Red Cross shop in Deal, Samantha Burgh for the carefully chosen gift of a WH Smith spell checker, David Richards, a friend for life who helped, cared and understood through her darkest days, Madalin and Catherine Michel, family friends for 20 years living in Marseille, and Suzanne West, her very best friend and godmother to her daughter.

Background: CGGBP1 is a repetitive DNA-binding transcription regulator with target sites at CpG-rich sequences such as CGG repeats and Alu-SINEs and L1-LINEs. The role of CGGBP1 as a possible mediator of CpG methylation however remains unknown. At CpG-rich sequences cytosine methylation is a major mechanism of transcriptional repression. Concordantly, gene-rich regions typically carry lower levels of CpG methylation than the repetitive elements. It is well known that at interspersed repeats Alu-SINEs and L1-LINEs high levels of CpG methylation constitute a transcriptional silencing and retrotransposon inactivating mechanism. Results: Here, we have studied genome-wide CpG methylation with or without CGGBP1-depletion. By high throughput sequencing of bisulfite-treated genomic DNA we have identified CGGBP1 to be a negative regulator of CpG methylation at repetitive DNA sequences. In addition, we have studied CpG methylation alterations on Alu and L1 retrotransposons in CGGBP1-depleted cells using a novel bisulfite-treatment and high throughput sequencing approach. Conclusions: The results clearly show that CGGBP1 is a possible bidirectional regulator of CpG methylation at Alus, and acts as a repressor of methylation at L1 retrotransposons.
CGGBP1 (CGG triplet repeat-binding protein 1) regulates cell proliferation, stress response,cytokinesis, telomeric integrity and transcription. It could affect these processes by modulatingtarget gene expression under different conditions. Identification of CGGBP1-target genes andtheir regulation could reveal how a transcription regulator affects such diverse cellular processes.Here we describe the mechanisms of differential gene expression regulation by CGGBP1 inquiescent or growing cells. By studying global gene expression patterns and genome-wide DNAbindingpatterns of CGGBP1, we show that a possible mechanism through which it affects theexpression of RNA Pol II-transcribed genes in trans depends on Alu RNA. We also show that itregulates Alu transcription in cis by binding to Alu promoter. Our results also indicate thatpotential phosphorylation of CGGBP1 upon growth stimulation facilitates its nuclear retention,Alu-binding and dislodging of RNA Pol III therefrom. These findings provide insights into howAlu transcription is regulated in response to growth signals.
MicroRNAs (miRNAs) and their role during tumor development have been studied in greatdetail during the last decade, albeit their expression pattern and regulation during normaldevelopment are however not so well established. Previous studies have shown that miRNAsare differentially expressed in solid human tumors. Platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF)signaling is known to be involved in normal development of the brain as well as in malignantprimary brain tumors, gliomas, but the complete mechanism is still lacking. We decided toinvestigate the expression of the oncogenic miR-21 during normal mouse development andglioma, focusing on PDGF signaling as a potential regulator of miR-21.
We generated mouse glioma using the RCAS/tv-a system for driving PDGF-BB expression ina cell-specific manner. Expression of miR-21 in mouse cell cultures and mouse brain wereassessed using Northern blot analysis and in situ hybridization. Immunohistochemistry andWestern blot analysis were used to investigate SOX2 expression. LNA-modified siRNA wasused for irreversible depletion of miR-21. For inhibition of PDGF signaling Gleevec(imatinib mesylate), Rapamycin and U0126, as well as siRNA were used. Statisticalsignificance was calculated using double-sided unpaired Student´s t-test.
We identified miR-21 to be highly expressed during embryonic and newborn braindevelopment followed by a gradual decrease until undetectable at postnatal day 7 (P7), thiscorrelated with SOX2 expression. Furthermore, miR-21 and SOX2 showed up-regulation andoverlapping expression pattern in RCAS/tv-a generated mouse brain tumor specimens. Uponirreversible depletion of miR-21 the expression of SOX2 was strongly diminished in bothmouse primary glioma cultures and human glioma cell lines. Interestingly, in normalfibroblasts the expression of miR-21 was induced by PDGF-BB, and inhibition of PDGFsignaling in mouse glioma primary cultures resulted in suppression of miR-21 suggesting thatmiR-21 is indeed regulated by PDGF signaling.
Our data show that miR-21 and SOX2 are tightly regulated already during embryogenesisand define a distinct population with putative tumor cell of origin characteristics. We believethat miR-21 is a mediator of PDGF-driven brain tumors, which suggests miR-21 as apromising target for treatment of glioma.
The shelterin proteins are required for telomere integrity. Shelterin dysfunction can lead to initiation of unwarranted DNA damage and repair pathways at chromosomal termini. Interestingly, many shelterin accessory proteins are involved in DNA damage signaling and repair. We demonstrate here that in normal human fibroblasts, telomeric ends are protected by phosphorylation of CGG triplet repeat-binding protein 1 (CGGBP1) at serine 164 (S164). We show that serine 164 is a major phosphorylation site on CGGBP1 with important functions. We provide evidence that one of the kinases that can phosphorylate S164 CGGBP1 is ATR. Overexpression of S164A phospho-deficient CGGBP1 exerted a dominant-negative effect, causing telomeric dysfunction, accelerated telomere shortening, enhanced fusion of telomeres, and crisis. However, overexpression of wild-type or phospho-mimicking S164E CGGBP1 did not cause these effects. This telomere damage was associated with reduced binding of the shelterin protein POT1 to telomeric DNA. Our results suggest that CGGBP1 phosphorylation at S164 is a novel telomere protection signal, which can affect telomere-protective function of the shelterin complex.
Human POT1, a widely studied telomere protector protein is perceived to be expressed as a single 70 kDa form. A survey of the literature as well as different commercially available antibodies against POT1 suggests occurrence of multiple forms of POT1. Knowledge about possible various forms of an important protein like POT1 is necessary for our understanding about its function. We have discovered that POT1 exists in at least three consistently occurring forms; 90,70 and 45 kDa. The unexpected molecular weights of POT1 seem to be associated with SUMO1 and ubiquitin conjugation; the latter occurring at a double lysine residue at 289-KK-290. We also present evidence that the relative abundance of the different POT1 forms can be altered by experimental modulation of POT1 nuclear localization. We thus present strong evidence that there are post-translational modifications of POT1 that can affect its molecular weight as well as intracellular localization and function.
Voltage-dependent Ca(2+) channels (VDCC) exist in most excitable cells and their properly regulated activity is essential for critical biological processes as many of these are sensitive to cellular Ca(2+) ion concentration. The ancillary cytoplasmic Ca(2+) channel beta subunits (CACNB) modulate Ca(2+) channel function and are required to enhance the number of functional channels in the plasma membrane. There are four genes encoding CACNB subunits and the gene encoding CACNB3 is over expressed in hyperplastic placentas of mouse interspecies hybrids. To determine the role of CACNB3 in the mouse placenta, we performed an expression and function analysis. Our results show that Cacnb3 exhibits specific spatial and temporal expression in the mouse placenta. Deletion of Cacnb3 does not produce a strong placental phenotype, which may be due to expression of other CACNB subunit encoding genes; however, sporadic occurrence of a labyrinthine architecture phenotype, characterized by reduced density of fetal blood vessels and decrease in pericyte number, could be observed. Down-regulation of Cacnb3 expression did not rescue placental hyperplasia in a model of interspecies hybrid placentas, which indicates that up-regulation in the hyperplastic placentas is a downstream event.

If you've ever fantasized about being a rock star, you might think twice.
The first half of "Her Smell" batters you to exhaustion.
It focuses on punk-rock singer-guitarist Becky Something (Elisabeth Moss), who leads the trio Something She. Thanks to Becky's abrasive personality and unreliability – resulting from heavy substance abuse and, most likely, mental illness – Something She is on the downslide of a once successful career.
The film opens with Becky, bass player Marielle Hell (Agyness Deyn) and drummer Ali van der Wolff (Gayle Rankin) playing the last concert of a tour. Writer-director Alex Ross Perry then takes us backstage, where Becky's relentless obnoxiousness dominates. She attacks pretty much everyone, verbally and sometimes even physically, while acting the pretentious punk enfant terrible.
Her manager (Eric Stoltz), her ex-husband (Dan Stevens) and her bandmates try to steer her in the right direction, but it's hopeless. Even a rival singer (Amber Heard) whose career has risen as Becky's has declined offers to have Something She join her on a new tour, but Becky calls her a sell-out and says no way.
Have you ever spent a lot of time with an alcoholic or a drug addict when that person is out of control? The long backstage sequence – and a later sequence in a recording studio – have the same effect, as Becky insists on being center stage. Director Perry immerses you in these scenes with the oppressive immediacy found in the nightmarish films of Gaspar Noe ("Irreversible," "Climax"). As with Noe's films, you're left feeling like you're in some kind of hell – and you want to get out.
But try to stick with it. It won't be easy, but it will be worth it, as the story and the character of Becky finally move forward from the wreckage. There's one scene, for instance, a single, uncut, static shot of Becky at the piano, singing Bryan Adams' "Heaven" to her young daughter, that is so transcendent that it alone makes up for the (necessary to the story) torture one endures early on.
Moss is phenomenal as Becky. Seemingly inspired in part by Courtney Love (Something She's music is reminiscent of Love's band Hole – and that's a huge compliment), Moss comes across as mostly one note as her character acts so out of control through much of the film. But, like the film itself, there's much more to the performance as it continues.
The supporting cast – all of those already mentioned plus Virginia Madsen as Becky's mother – also are excellent.
If you've ever fantasized about being a rock star, you might think twice after seeing "Her Smell." It's probably closer to reality than we'd like to imagine.

Dalai Lama advocates dialogue to end terrorism
January 19, 2009
New Delhi
, January 18th, 2009 (ANI): Tibetan spiritual leader, the Dalai Lama, on Saturday urged a path of non-violence and dialogue to confront terrorism.
"We must show non-violent ways to deal with these conflicts so that is dialogue. I think the text books should include the education of morals without touching religion, education of non-violence and peace and the concept of compromise," the Dalai Lama told a gathering here.
The Tibetan spiritual leader''s comments come at a time when tensions have been simmering in India and Pakistan over last November''s terror attacks in western Mumbai, blamed on Pakistan-based terror outfits.
The Buddhist leader said he loved the outgoing US president George Bush though he did not agree with some of his policies.
"I love him (US president George Bush) but some of his policies…one time I told him I love you but some of your policies …I expressed that way so he knows I am opposed to some of his policies," the Dalai Lama said.
The Dalai Lama earlier in the day inaugurated a forum named "Global Congress on World''s religions after September 11 - An Asian Perspective" in New Delhi. (ANI)

An Evaluation Method for Unsupervised Anomaly Detection Algorithms
In data mining, anomaly detection aims at identifying the observations which do not conform to an expected behavior. To date, a large number of techniques for anomaly detection have been proposed and developed. These techniques have been successfully applied to many real world applications such as fraud detection for credit cards and intrusion detection in network security. However, there are very little research relating to the method for evaluating the goodness of unsupervised anomaly detection techniques. In this paper, the authors introduce a method for evaluating the performance of unsupervised anomaly detection techniques. The method is based on the application of internal validation metrics in clustering algorithms to anomaly detection. The experiments were conducted on a number of benchmarking datasets. The results are compared with the result of a recent proposed approach that shows that some proposed metrics are very consistent when being used to evaluate the performance of unsupervised anomaly detection algorithms.

- If you are the original purchaser, the MOP is computed from the date of purchase of the flat
- If there has been a transfer of flat ownership, the MOP is computed from the effective date of the transfer of flat ownership, or the date the owner was included as an authorised occupier of the flat

You will have to consider the Non-Citizen Quota for Renting Out of Flat if any tenant renting your flat is a non-Malaysian non-citizen (Singapore Permanent Resident or foreigner). The quota is to help maintain a good ethnic mix in HDB estates. Malaysians are not subject to this quota in view of their close cultural and historical similarities with Singaporeans.
The quota is set at 8% at the neighbourhood level and 11% at the block level, and applicable if any tenant renting the whole flat is a non-Malaysian non-citizen (Singapore Permanent Resident or foreigner) . If the quota is reached, only Singaporeans and Malaysians can rent a flat in that neighbourhood/ block. Note that this quota does not apply to the rental of bedrooms.
You may use our e-Service to check if your flat can be rented out to non-Malaysian non-citizens. The e-Service can also be accessed via the HDB Map Services

Rental period
The minimum rental period for each tenant must be 6 months per application. You are not allowed to rent out your flat or bedroom on a short-term basis, as it may disrupt the living environment and pose security concerns for our residents.
The rental period is indicated in the approval letter, up to a maximum of 3 years if all the tenants are Singaporeans or Malaysians. The maximum is capped at 2 years for non-Malaysian non-citizen tenants. Non-citizens refer to Singapore Permanent Residents and foreigners. You are required to reapply for approval each time you rent out your flat or renew the application.
Unauthorised renting out of flat
Our flats are meant for homeowners to live in. The terms and conditions help ensure a conducive and harmonious living environment in HDB estates. Singaporean citizens have to meet all the eligibility conditions and obtain our written approval by submitting an online application.
We take a very serious view of unauthorised rental and will not hesitate to take action against errant flat owners who flout the rules. Even if you have obtained approval to rent out your flat, you should conduct regular checks to ensure that the rules and regulations are met.
Rental Enforcement
We conduct regular checks to take enforcement action against unauthorised rentals. We also carry out targeted investigations on suspected cases of unauthorised rental when we receive feedback from the public.
We urge members of the public to report suspected cases of unauthorised rental or misuse of HDB flats to us, by calling our dedicated hotline 1800-555-6370 from Monday to Friday, 8am to 5pm. All information will be kept strictly confidential.

How Does Citronella Keep Bugs Away?It's the middle of July and summer has officially arrived, driving sun-deprived workers out into the great outdoors to enjoy a bit of warm weather. Unfortunately, mosquitos also enjoy the summer heat so we keep them at bay by stocking our decks and campsites with citronella. You may have asked yourself, 'How DOES citronella keep bugs away?' and we are here to answer that question.
Oil of citronella is an all-natural insect and animal repellent made from the distilled oils of different varieties of grass, according to the National Pesticide Information Center. The main components in the oil are citronellol, citronellal and geraniol. Although those components may seem unpronounceable and thus a bit scary, citronella has actually been approved for use as a food additive by the Food and Drug Administration and has been used in many foods and drinks as a flavoring agent for more than 50 years. It has been labeled as a low risk pesticide by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency.Now that we know what it is, let's look at how it works.Unlike other varieties of pesticides, citronella not does kill mosquitos rather it repels them and other pests, reducing the number of mosquitos that land nearby. Researchers at the University of Guelph in Ontario studied the effectiveness of citronella by using candles with a three percent concentration of the oil. The citronella candles effectively reduced mosquito landings by 42 percent, according to their study published in the National Institute of Health library. Our patent pending formula repels approximately 74% of mosquito landings. Quite a difference.Citronella works by masking scents that are attractive to insects namely carbon dioxide and lactic acid in humans according to the NPIC.One benefit of using citronella as mosquito repellent is that it is safe and non-toxic to humans and animals (and even the insects). Although some people can have mild allergic reactions to the oil, even ingesting citronella will not affect humans it is simply broken down and passed out of the body through urine.In recent years, those who frequently spend time in the great outdoors have drifted away from purchasing citronella candles in favor of higher-concentration citronella bands, such as our MOSKITO jars. This kind of citronella product is not affected by the elements.

AUSTIN — The Texas House of Representatives today passed House Bill 63 which would reduce criminal penalties for possession of small amounts of marijuana.
Responding to today's vote, ACLU of Texas smart justice strategist Nick Hudson stated:
"Today's House vote in favor of HB 63 is a major step forward in reforming our state's broken drug laws. Even a short jail stay can have repercussions that derail a person's entire life, and Texas is currently wasting hundreds of millions of taxpayer dollars arresting and jailing ordinary Texans for low-level marijuana possession. We also know that people of color are significantly more likely to be arrested for marijuana possession than white people, despite similar usage rates. HB 63 will ensure that thousands of Texans no longer have their lives destroyed by facing jail time for minor marijuana possession, and we are grateful to the members who have supported it."

Catchers, first basemen among important under the radar fielders
Hitting and pitching are important but any successful baseball or softball team also needs to be strong in the third dimension of fielding. And within the world of defense there are always figures that go under the radar. This week the WCI Sports panel dishes on defensive positions that are undervalued and often overlooked.
Catchers go underappreciated
It might be hard to believe catchers are under appreciated but good ones are often taken for granted. When they do their jobs well, they almost go unnoticed and don't get to make the flashy plays shortstops and center fielders can make. But catchers impact almost everything on the defensive side: calling pitches or relaying calls from the dugout, blocking pitches , framing pitching, helping hold runners, throwing out runners handling and supporting pitchers and aligning defenses are just some of the things they do. That's why good catchers who can also hit are so valuable.
---Mike Trueblood, Galesburg Register-Mail
Solid first basemen breed confidence
Because of the volume of plays they are required to make a significant amount of attention is paid to shortstops, second baseman and third basemen. But the quality teams get from those positions can be directly connected to how strong of a first baseman is on the receiving end of the throws. The tangible ability to use height or flexibility on a close play plays an intrinsic role on the confidence of the rest of the infielders. Also the ability of a pitcher to take care of business on routine (or non-routine) plays around the mound can't be overlooked.
---Jackson White, WCI Sports
Catchers are ever present
Probably catcher, other than pitchers they handle the ball more than any other player on the field. Also, they're in charge of controlling the running game, either by throwing runners out trying to steal or preventing wild pitches or passed balls.
---Scott Holland, McDonough County Voice
Right fielders aren't caricatures
I'd have to say right field because of the stereotype that seems to start in little league. The assumption is always that coaches put some good hitting players in right-field even though they are terrible defensively. But with the majority of hitters being right-handed, and the majority of high schoolers being unable to catch up to hard fastballs, right fielders come into play more often that you'd think.
---Jeff Holt, Daily Review-Atlas
Catchers can be mini-coaches
I think the most under appreciated position in baseball is catcher, and this applies to all levels. At the high school level, if you have a backstop that can stop pitches in the dirt and throw out baserunners, that gives you a significant advantage. At higher levels and in the big leagues, having a catcher who can call a quality game behind the plate, frame pitches well and manage a pitching staff is essentially like having a coach on the field at all times.
---Matt Carlson, Star Courier
