|Elles sont parfaites pour le roller derby si vous cherchez des roues d'intérieurs et si vous voulez être très mobiles. Je les ai testées dans deux gymnases (un plutôt poussiéreux) avec des sols lisses type parquet, elles sont super. Elles glissent super bien tout en ayant une bonne adhérence pour des roues de cette largeur, + elles sont légères. C'est le même noyau que les Gladiator mais en plus fines pour celles qui préfèrent un peu plus d'agilité. :)

|These were purchased for my son as he is the roller skater! All I can say is that he loves them and is really pleased with his Christmas present. He feels more comfortable and can go a lot quicker, whilst still being in control, than with his previous wheels. My wife who is also a skater is jealous of them and is likely to get herself a set in the near future.
|Richard Woodwards (Sudbury)
|Great wheels. Similar to artistic wheels. Thin and not super thick so you have easy manueverability and don't lock wheels with other skaters. Lightweight and easy cuts with the wheels. Honestly are great value for the price and quality and would buy again. Prefer them over bones elite artistic wheels which are heavier and don't have holes cut out to lighten weight. Using them for derby but also can dance in wheels and do three turns and one and two foot spins with ease.

We have been pretty much killing it with the BBQ pizza lately. It's my favorite meal so far from the "farm". In fact, we have made it so often that I dare say we may get sick of it. I'm eating it hot off the presses as I type actually and there might be yet another pizza entry like this, and this in the near future. This particular evening, with almost all of the Cattivera brothers present (and the wives) we made about 8 pizzas. We had the best combinations so far. With the help of the fabulous dough from Trader Joe's, we could all do our fair share of drinking instead of kneading.
Summer squash, mozzarella and squash blossoms.
Traditional Margherita with Mozzarella di Buffala
Olive and Mushroom
and the best ever…
Potato, caramelized onion and rosemary pizza yet.
Yeah, I will even say it was better than the best "Antica" potato pizza ever, and no Truffle oil in site!
Not bad for a tiny balcony in Sac!

Ok...as we approach the final week of the 2008 presidential campaign all eyes will be on the polls. The important ones to watch, of course, will be the state-by-state polls, as that is where the election will be won or lost. Barack Obama has enjoyed a comfortable lead in most national polling over the last couple of weeks, which seems to be translating into a solidified Electoral College advantage at the state-by-state level.
Personally, I think things will tighten between now and November 4th. This is a conservative country at heart, and while it looks like we're on track to elect Barack Obama president, I also think that the history of presidential elections from 1968 to 2004 will be provide the Democratic ticket with some push back. In those ten elections, no Democrat won 50% of the vote except Jimmy Carter in 1976. (Bill Clinton won both of his elections with 43% and 49% respectively, due in large part to Ross Perot's presence on the ballot in 1992 and 1996.)
That said, I still believe we're on track to a realigning election. Obama looks highly likely to win this thing with a comfortable popular vote margin and a strong showing in the Electoral College.
And so I will post two maps over the next couple of days. A best-case scenario and a worst-case scenario. I don't expect either map to be in place on November 5th. Instead, they'll serve as a political geek's look at the ceiling and floor of Obama's support.
Below is the best case scenario, as I see it. If this election turns into a Reagan-style rout of the ruling party, if enough disenchanted Republicans have the courage to vote against their party as punishment for incompetent leadership, the map could be sky blue on Election Day...
Obama/Biden 400
McCain/Palin 138
(270 needed to win)
If there is a huge Democratic tidal wave on Election Day, we could very well see some longtime Republican states move to Obama's column unexpectedly: Georgia and North Carolina (where African-American turnout could be key); Montana, North Dakota and South Dakota (where Obama is spending butt loads of money because TV ad buys are cheap in those states); and Florida (if Obama over performs with senior citizen and Jewish voters). I think the chances of such a landslide are about 5%. The Democrats may well win one (maybe two) of these states next week, but to win all of them...well...I just don't see it.
Tomorrow: The worst case scenario.

Mmmm…. this was absolutely delicious, as well as super easy. I scooped out the inside of a plump, juicy heirloom tomato and stuffed it with the mushroom "loaf" recipe from Alissa Cohen. Then I threw the scooped out tomato bits in the vita mix with some basil, salt, olive oil, cayenne and garlic to make a quick sauce. I poured the sauce on top and voila – delish!
I give these a strong 4/5 happy monkeys because they're super easy and yummy. Unfortunately, I didn't take a pic because I was hungry and tired, and, quite honestly, it didn't look so beautiful with the sauce over it. My heirloom tomato was pretty yellow so once mixed in the vita mix, the sauce was fairly gray looking. If you want to serve these to company, I recommend serving the sauce on the side for aesthetic purposes.
This particular version was blended into oblivion by my vita mix. I prefer it to be more chunky and less of a smooth pate or dip. I definitely don't recommend the vita mix for this one, but I had broken my food processor so I didn't have a lot of options. Unfortunately, with the vita mix, this is no longer a "quick and easy" recipe, but instead a descent into frustration. When I first bought the vita mix, I thought it was the be all and end all of kitchen implements and that it would make all other equipment obsolete, but that is in fact not the case. A food processor is still very, very necessary.
Note: This makes a lot more mushroom loaf than is needed just for one tomato. You can stuff more tomatoes or keep the leftover "loaf" for use in wraps, salads, etc. It is delicious on its own as well.
Mushroom "Loaf"
3 cups mushrooms (portabello or crimini)
2 cups walnuts
2 tbsp olive oil
1 garlic clove
1/4 tsp marjoram (italian seasoning or oregano works great too)
1/4 tbsp fresh rosemary
1/4 tbsp sea salt
Tomato & Sauce
1 largish tomato
Basil, olive oil, garlic, sea salt, cayenne to taste
Blend everything but the tomato in a food processor.
Scoop out the inside of a tomato and stuff it with the mushroom "loaf." Throw the scooped out part in the vita mix with some basil, salt, olive oil, cayenne and garlic to make a quick sauce.
Serve the stuffed tomato with the sauce on the side. Enjoy!

This story hit home with me. It makes me glad to know that others are in the image battle with me even though we should be NOWHERE near the front lines: http://countrymouse-countrymouse.blogspot.com/
My comments to her story:
As I read this I cried – it reads like my story at that age of not understanding what life had in store for me.
My dad came to my dorm room and pulled me out from under my bed after my professors had not seen me for a week. He described me as "feral" at that stage.
I had to draw what I felt I looked like on a sheet of art paper and then lie down in it – that was pretty damning right there.
I had a child and gained 55 pounds – I ate EVERYTHING I could. However, I was back to a size 0 in 3 weeks after he was born. I thought it was cool – look at all of this attention I'm getting! People didn't care about me otherwise so I thought. And my mom didn't help by perpetuating it by almost smiling when people would comment on how thin I was.
Breaking point? Child was born 5 weeks early and was almost 9 pounds at 4 weeks and I still remember not being able to pick him up. I had to get on the floor and put him on the sofa then sit on the sofa to pick him up from a sitting position. It took years to get past the addiction on my own.
If you saw me now you would not believe that I ever was that way. People see pictures of me and just fall out if they didn't know me then. I'm 5'6″ and weigh myself daily (bad bad bad) and weigh anywhere between 128 and 132. I am NOT happy with the way that I look, but I swear I could not go back to anorexia and expect to be happy in my marriage and with my 13 year old.
Thank you for posting this – how refreshing to see that I was not the only one…. I read the books for the same reason.
Take care and know that you were not alone and will not ever be alone in battling this disease.

|Older family carers of adults with intellectual disabilities: the relationship between psychological well-being and stressors, coping strategies and expressed emotion

Abstract Objectives. The current study examined the relationship between psychological well-being and caring related stressors, coping strategies and Expressed Emotion (EE) in older family carers looking after their son or daughter who has an intellectual disability (ID). Additionally, two methods used to measure EE, the traditional Five Minute Speech Sample (FMSS) and the Preschool Five Minute Speech Sample (PFMSS), were compared. Design. A cross-sectional design with one group of participants was used to analyse the relationships between well-being and caring related stressors, coping strategies and EE in the parent in the family who provided most of the day-to-day support for the adult with ID. Method. Fifty-six participants completed a speech sample which was coded using the FMSS and the PFMSS. Participants completed the Carers' Assessment of Difficulties Index (CADI), Shortened Ways of Coping Revised Questionnaire (SWQ-R), General Health Questionnaire (GHQ) and Adaptive Behaviour Scale - Residential and Community: Second Edition (ABS- RC:2). Results. The two different methods used to measure EE significantly differed in terms of classification of overall EE. The majority of older family carers experienced average levels of psychological well-being, but high EE. Wishful thinking coping was found to mediate the relationship between stressors and psychological well-being and between problem behaviour and psychological well-being, resulting in lower psychological well-being. Conclusions. Overall, the findings do not support the common perception that caring for an adult son or daughter with ID is overwhelmingly burdensome. The findings seem to support the 'adaptional' hypothesis, which suggests that over the years, caregiving becomes easier and families better adjust to their caregiving role. The difficulties with using the FMSS and the PFMSS with adults with ID were discussed and theoretical and clinical implications of the research were explored.

Michael A. Brown appeared on WAMU-FM's Politics Hour today, where he was asked by host Kojo Nnamdi about how the D.C. Council he sits on can show it's serious about ethics. His answer: "We have to look at what great stead our city is in. ... We have 42 cranes doing wonderful things. We're trying to hire as many D.C. residents as possible. We're working on affordable housing issues. Our city's going great. Do we have some ethical clouds, yes. Do we have to work on them, absolutely." Said co-host Tom Sherwood, "It just seems like ethics is a back-burner issue when it should be the engine."

The air quality throughout the San Joaquin Valley is a serious health burden for residents, according to the State of the Air 2016 report released by the American Lung Association.
The San Joaquin Valley Air Pollution Control District has asked the federal Environmental Protection Agency to adopt stricter national vehicle standards in an effort to reduce air pollution. The new petition asks the federal government to mandate that cars to be 50 percent to 90 percent cleaner than before, according to Seyed Sadredin, executive director of the Valley Air District.
In the San Joaquin Valley, Sadredin said, businesses account for about 15 percent of the air pollution, while about 85 percent comes from mobile sources that fall under federal jurisdiction. Out of that 85 percent, 60 percent are trucks and trains, he said.
The Valley suffers from stagnant air, experts have said. Pollutants become trapped here while breezier cities on the coast have pollutants filtered out frequently. A frequent lack of rain and wind also is a factor, allowing pollutants to linger for days, resulting in higher health risks, according to the American Lung Association.
Sadredin said to meet the federal standard in air quality, pollution needs to cut an additional 90 percent, and without stricter national vehicle standards in place, the Central Valley won't get there.
"It's important to point out national standards will even out the playing field," Sadredin said.

Commercial radio is suffering. Satellite and streaming options that link directly to mobile devices are becoming increasingly popular because of the diversity and lack of commercial interruptions. According to The New York Times, one format is incredibly hot right now - classic hip-hop. Stations championing Tupac Shakur, Public Enemy and Snoop Dogg are sprouting up all over the country. Radio One, Cumulus Media and iHeartMedia are all jumping at the opportunity.
KROI in Houston is the case study used in the article. Two months after the news station switched over to classic hip-hop, it was rebranded as Boom 92 and its listenership jumped from 245,000 to 802,000. Radio One, which owns Boom, is working on expanding the brand in Dallas and Philadelphia.
Atlanta's market has been flooded with the format. A total of three stations popped up during one week in November - Old School 99.3, OG 97.9 and Boom 102.9.
"I went to work with one, I came back with three. Who's going to outlast who? I have the least overhead. I have the least amount of debt. It's crazy," Steve Hegwood of Old School 99.3 told the Atlanta Journal-Constitution. "This format hits the sweet spot of 35 to 49 year olds, which advertisers love."
Saturation is a problem though. One of the Atlanta stations changed to an all-urban format only two weeks after flipping to classic hip-hop.
Check out a sample of Atlanta's OG 97.9 below.
Arrested Development - "Tennessee"
Eve and Gwen Stefani - "Let Me Blow Ya Mind"
Coolio - "1-2-3-4″
Ja Rule - "Livin' it Up"
LL Cool J - "Loungin' "

Art of blends
Reading about the history of Black Dog Scotch whisky led me to the making of whisky and subsequently to the information about how the making of its latest blend TGR is different from the making of any other whisky.
Before going further into the making of Black Dog TGR, let us understand the basics of Scotch whisky. Only a whisky distilled in Scotland qualifies to be called a Scotch. Scotland has many distilleries and many families in Scotland have been involved in whisky-making for generations.
Whisky was originally made of malted barley. Later on, with commercialisation entering, distilleries started using malted grain too to make whisky.
Whisky can be categorised into five types:
1. Single Malt whisky – is the whisky that is made of only malted barley and is from a single distillery.
2. Single Grain whisky – is the whisky that is made of single grain like wheat, maize, or rye and is from a single distillery.
3. Blended Malt whisky – is a blend of single malt whisky from different distilleries.
4. Blended Grain whisky – is a blend of single grain whisky from different distilleries.
5. Blended whisky – is a blend of malt whisky and grain whisky of one or more distilleries.
Each whisky is distinctive based on the process of ageing and duration of maturation, and casks used for storing the whisky. A blended whisky is thus dependent on the age of the whiskies used for the blend and the exact proportions of each whisky used in the blend. This is not as simple as it sounds. Creation of blended whisky is an art to create a whisky of perfect colour, aroma, taste and finish.
Normal maturation process for a blend is easily understood by the following picture:
However, Black Dog Triple Gold Reserve is the only blend that is produced involving a triple maturation process.
The triple maturation process which involves Grain whiskies and Malt whiskies separately matured in American Bourbon Casks and then blended together and matured again in Oloroso Sherry Butts for an extra longer period of time to give the blend a distinctive flavour and a delicate finish.
One of the meanings of 'art' is given as 'a skill at doing a specified thing, typically one acquired through practice' in the web dictionary. Going by this definition, Mr Richard Paterson, the Master Blender, of the brand Black Dog and its variant Black Dog Triple Gold Reserve is an artist creating pieces of art.

'I began my career in the public sector. However, when I moved into private practice and discovered insurance law, I realised I had found my niche. I've now spent more than 20 years working in the industry. Coincidentally, this has involved quite a lot of work for local government – specifically, defending matters involving multiple claimants in cases arising out of the subsidence of underground mines, fires causing toxic fumes to be released into the atmosphere and fires in premises causing multiple deaths and injury.'
'It's important to understand that our clients are very sophisticated users of legal services. I've come to believe that as a lawyer you need to be a problem solver. Obviously, that involves being able to investigate a factual situation and develop a legal solution. However, you also need to take the time to listen to the client so that you understand their objectives and can offer them the most advantageous solution possible.'

Why are so many American women dying from childbirth?
Aug 6th 2015, 13:40 BY E.B. | NEW YORK
CHILDBIRTH was once a reliably dangerous experience. As late as the 1930s, one out of every 100 live births in America cost a woman her life; similar rates were seen around the world. But the 20th century brought tremendous advances in obstetric medicine and widened access to decent care. The maternal-mortality rate plummeted in rich countries by as much as 99%, and now poor countries are starting to catch up. But in America something odd is happening: over the past quarter of a century, the maternal-mortality rate (which counts deaths within 42 days after delivery) has been creeping back up. In 2013 more than 18 women died for every 100,000 live births. America is one of only eight countries, including Afghanistan and South Sudan, where these numbers are moving in the wrong direction. What is going on?
The shortest answer is that no one really knows. Some speculate that it has to do with the fact that American women tend to be both fatter and older when they become pregnant these days. Indeed the risks associated with childbirth rise in tandem with weight and age. But these trends can be seen in plenty of countries where the death rates are still coming down. Others suggest optimistically that America is simply more rigorous about counting these deaths. The problem with this theory is that the system for collecting these records hasn't changed much over the past decade, while the rate has continued to rise.
Death from childbirth is unusually common in America
The most compelling explanation is that more women are in poorer health when they get pregnant, and then failing to get proper care. Chronic health problems, such as obesity, hypertension, diabetes and heart disease, are increasingly common among pregnant American women, and each of them makes delivery more dangerous. Indeed the traditional causes of pregnancy-related deaths, such as haemorrhage, venous thromboembolism and hypertensive disorders, have been declining in recent years, whereas deaths from cardiovascular conditions and other chronic problems have been on the rise. These conditions are more common among African-American women, which partly explains why they are nearly four times more likely to die from pregnancy-related complications than white women. Poverty is also closely correlated with worse health outcomes, as poor women are less likely to have access to proper health care, including contraception and prenatal care. (Women who become pregnant accidentally are less likely to seek timely prenatal care, which raises the risks of death.) Because African-Americans are more than twice as likely as their non-black peers to live below the poverty line, this also helps to explain the grim racial disparity in maternal mortality rates.
Prenatal health and life outcomes
What is the solution? Many hope the Affordable Care Act (ACA), otherwise known as Obamacare, will widen access to health care, which would ensure that more women are in better shape when they become pregnant. In the 31 states plus Washington, DC, that expanded Medicaid under the ACA, poorer women will have access to contraception and better care before and after childbirth, which should reduce their mortality risks. (After-care is seen as essential for both managing potentially critical problems and putting women back on track for a healthy lifestyle.) Studies of obstetric emergencies have also shown that at least 40% of fatalities are completely avoidable in the moment. Once doctors are trained to spot the signs of haemorrhage, severe hypertension and venous thromboembolism when they arise, they can move more swiftly to protect their patients' lives. Federal, state and professional organisations, including the Centres for Disease Control and the American College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists, are working together to make sure that hospitals and childbirth centres know how to handle these emergencies. Hospitals in California—where one in eight American births take place—have put these protocols in place already, and the state has managed to bring its maternal-mortality rate down. The hope is to see a similar transformation on a national scale.

Poll this: In every poll taken when it come to any type of whose most likely to be affected by a disorder,disease and or death African Americans are always at the top of the poll.
karanti_mariaAug 8th, 10:20
Many of those competent, diligent, efficient, well-educated, high performing Obstetricians and Gynecologists from Europe and Latin America would be eager to immigrate and work in remote areas of the United States, saving women's lives and ensuring healthy neonates.
Strict exhausting unrealistic long term bureaucratic selection procedures are imposed to "maintain quality", or better seclude the profession and maintain high wages.
Funny thing is that those who examine for high quality foreign colleagues are the same poorly performing dangerous US Obstetricians!
The only hope for US women is that the forthcoming EU-USA Treaty liberalizes professional services and abolishes seclusion processes and bureaucratic procedures…
firstname.lastname@example.com 8th, 08:56
the article really shocks me a lot….
guest-onosnaeAug 7th, 19:47
If unhealthy = greater chance of death during childbirth (seems reasonable), then would be good to look at different proxies for unhealthy vs healthy (e.g. age, income, geography, etc.) and determine if the birthrate for the unhealthy is growing faster than the healthy. Has to be something like this. Seems like a simple way to test the above hypothesis, no?
eKK25iuTRTAug 7th, 06:47
I was in Silicon Valley and I thought I was getting the most natural and "alternative" birthing experience I could at a hospital. My midwife encouraged me to write a birth plan and hire a doula, so I did. So alternative, so natural! I was warned multiple times about the dangers of epidurals and interventions that quickly spiral into a C-section, which is risky, major surgery. But when the big day arrived, my midwife was too busy to see me. I had a horrible nurse that hounded me every 5 minutes to take an epidural even though I said "No!" several times. My birth plan stated that nobody was to offer me an epidural, but I'm fairly certain she didn't read it. The only doctor available was a complete stranger, not my regular ob/gyn. I refused to have pitocin but they hounded my doula until I agreed to a tiny dosage which "would not do anything". Turns out it's impossible to say no with any authority when you are having contractions every few minutes. Between contractions, I realized I was sold a false bill of goods, so in desperation I locked the bathroom door and allowed them to knock and bang on the door repeatedly. I gave birth on the bathroom floor alone without their "help". If I hadn't done so, I'm fairly certain I would have had a C-section and the medical team would have received a nice chunk of cash from my insurance company. When I emerged from the bathroom a new mother, my midwife eventually showed up and had the nerve to be angry with me. I had no idea why she would be upset, but I found out later that whoever "catches" the baby receives extra cash. Moral of the story: the incentive structure ($$) sets up American women for unnecessary major surgery.
umghhhin reply to eKK25iuTRTAug 7th, 07:50
Nice chunk of cash for a routine op is a driving force for apparent increase of C-section. Doctors know it, hospitals know it and mothers to be should know it too.
It is all about not harming the patient while digging a pile of cash.
New Freetraderin reply to eKK25iuTRTAug 8th, 01:39
Well, it is of course your choice to refuse an epidural. Most women prefer to have one – my wife arrived at the hospital for our second in plenty time but by the time the Midnight Shift RNs finished their coffee it was 'too late'. So she ended up going without.
CA-OxonianAug 7th, 04:16
Data suggests that the "natural" rate of C-sections is about one in a thousand. In the USA approximately one third of all births are by C-section. American women want to be gassed into unconsciousness and wake up only after it's all over; American doctors want to be able to schedule their golf games without risk of disruption so they regularly induce with oxytocin, leading to complications, leading to an "emergency" C-section. In consequence, a large number of overly-large women undergo invasive surgery that is wholly unnecessary and which puts their lives at risk. But that's the American Way.
When my two children were born we agreed in advance with the attending physician that short of a real medical emergency they would be natural births. The physician agreed, but when the time came he was unable to contain his urge to use all manner of unnecessary procedures and it was only by threatening actual force that I was able to dissuade him. Our two children were born without complications, while three of the other women on the ward were induced, had C-sections, and so enjoyed the Full American Experience.
Until doctors are not remunerated for creating unnecessary surgeries and until women accept that a certain amount of pain is part of childbirth, the horrific level of unnecessary death will remain a fact of American life.
guest-ljnoawlin reply to CA-OxonianAug 7th, 06:34
All of which misses the article's main point – that maternal death rates are rising in the US and falling everywhere else. Unnecessary C-sections could theoretically explain the comparative LEVELS of maternal deaths (though I deeply doubt it – else why do black women die so much more than white ones?), but unless these have become far more common in the US and/or far less common in other countries (neither of which are remotely true) then it cannot explain the comparative TRENDS.
A far more likely cause is the intersection of the US' inefficient and unfair health system with increasing inequality. That explains that white/black differential.
New Freetraderin reply to CA-OxonianAug 8th, 01:42
C sections are not part of the issue; or at least, there is no indication that they are. C sections are used often because doctors (and more frequently – the patients) want to schedule the birth as if it were any other 'elective' medical procedure. I'm not sure I have any right to judge anyone who chooses for convenience to have a C section – why the Hell not if that's what they want – but having one's abdomen cut open unnecessarily seems like a bad idea to me.
guest-onoiimlAug 7th, 03:07
Why is this a mystery? American Maternity care involves much more "interventions" than all comparable countries. Scheduled c-sections, avoidable c-sections, pitocin and other medical inducements, and an over-use of epidurals. All of these things (when not absolutely necessary) increase the risk for harm of mother and baby.
Just look at the c-section rates in the US compared to European nations. The answer is right there.
A. AndrosAug 7th, 01:46
"These conditions are more common among African-American women, which partly explains why they are nearly four times more likely to die from pregnancy-related complications than white women."
And,once we control for that there really is no story.
Black women, as observed, live in less prosperous circumstances and more than two-thirds of the time lack a husband or reliable male partner.
They far more likely to drop out of high-school.
As a hypothesis, one can postulate that lack of spousal assistance, little attention at home to prenatal care as a result of limited education and economic distress are the culprits.
Regardless, it is worth any amount of money to mitigate this situation. I do not know the relevant provisions of ACA — at our age my wife is unlikely to become pregnant and if she does we aren't likely to name the kid after me — but a national health plan that does not contain free and easily obtained care for expectant mothers is a failure.
Visiting nurses . . . visiting dieticians . . neighborhood walk-in maternity clinics in each locale with an above-average loss of mothers and or child. . . well-baby care at community centers . . . extensive daycare for newborns so that an exhausted post-delivery mom can recoup her strength . . . amplified WIC provisions so that formula and diapers are free . . . week-long stays for new, young single-mothers in maternity and recovery wards that not only assist in bonding but give mothers confidence and acquired skills . . . these are a few positive things, some of which may already be in place, but there must be others readers can imagine.
Also . . . kick the ass of every insurance company in America until they stop hassling people with chicken-shit objections and questions to routine claims in the hope they can stiff the consumer. Maternity should be safe, comfortable and without unnecessary stress.
Cost is not a consideration.
BrownPelicanAug 7th, 01:39
They flat out don't give a shit, as indicated by the continued rise in obesity.
Connect The DotsAug 7th, 00:05
"Indeed the traditional causes of pregnancy-related deaths, such as haemorrhage, venous thromboembolism and hypertensive disorders…These conditions are more common among African-American women, which partly explains why they are nearly four times more likely to die from pregnancy-related complications than white women."
Ideally White American Women should be subsegmented and compared to White Europeans for health outcomes.
And Black American Women should be subsegmented and compared to Black Africans for health outcomes.
In both cases, American health outcomes are either on par or excel.
The premise is an apples to oranges comparisons, when it should be apples to apples.
Mike Hoyin reply to Connect The DotsAug 7th, 00:21
A less ridiculous comparison would be the pregnancy-related death rates of white and black American women with their white and black European counterparts.
umghhhin reply to Mike HoyAug 7th, 07:58
Actually that would be a nice comparison and I would urge TE to do so. Do a comparative study in which poverty is controlled for so that we can extract that as a factor – I have this hunch that while you take care of poverty in US by giving a chance to rise out of it, the racism apparent from any statistics on social malaise in US will wither enough not to be considered systemic anymore.

I have a Pro-10 printer and have printed sports photos, auto racing, cityscapes, etc and have ZERO problems when printing. The colors that I develop to on the screen in Lightroom or in DPP print exactly as I see them. Even a cheer competition that I took photos of a month back seemed to print out fine. But photos I took yesterday and developed show a heavy red tint when I do a print preview. It is as if the girls have the worst sunburn imaginable. I haven't changed a thing and do the same adjustments as always. At first I thought maybe Lightroom was fubar so I opened the files un in DPP and the same thing happened. Converted and output to JPEG and went to print with the exact same results.
Also, her glasses are a teal color and appear teal when developing, and looking at the photos I've converted and am viewing on my cell phone, yet in the print preview they turn green. So somehow everything is getting a red saturation added. If I try to remove the red saturation in the develop module the photo goes to hell and all the colors go off in the print preview, except for the "sunburn"!!
What am I missing or what can I do to change the red skin color back to a more neutral flesh color?

The Chinese techniques of acupuncture have been around for centuries. However, its countless uses and benefits remain a mystery to many of us. In this article, you will find tips and advice that will help to familiarize you with acupuncture, and whether it may be something you wish to try.
You should not let acupuncture scare you. A lot of people are reluctant about using acupuncture because they do not like needles. Keep in mind that the needles are very thin and you will not feel them. You will only feel their relaxing effects on your nerve endings as your acupuncturist performs a treatment.
If you have some fear of acupuncture because you think that it is going to hurt, ask your acupuncturist about techniques in painless needling. Ask questions about where he learned that technique and how long he has been practicing it. Only go with practitioners who have had multiple years of experience.
Ask your acupuncturist about their education. Acupuncturists need to go to medical school for four years before completing an internship. The internship should last at least eighteen months. If your acupuncturist cannot prove they have this kind of educational background, you should find another specialized doctor who can treat you.
Before deciding on acupuncture, read up on it. Acupuncture is something that has been used for hundreds many generations, thousands of years. It's an Eastern health treatment style than many Westerners aren't too familiar with. If you are considering it, do yourself a favor and get used to what will be entailed. You'll be much happier and calmer for it.
It can look painful, but this isn't the case. Acupuncture needles are very thin, unlike injection needles. A few feet in the distance and the needles are impossible to see. You may be slightly uncomfortable, but it is nothing that should cause you extreme pain.
There are few negative aspects to acupuncture as an alternative therapy, but one important one is that there are no guarantees the treatment will be effective. While it is rare, but soreness and bruising may occur, and it is also possible to get an infection if sterile procedures are not carefully followed.
No matter what you are going to acupuncture for, do not expect to see results right away. Many acupuncture patients simply stop going for sessions because their problems are not solved right away. It takes at least a few sessions of acupuncture to receive the results you are looking for.
Ask your acupuncturist how many years of experience they have. It is important to choose a doctor who has been practicing for at least five years to make sure they know what they are doing. Look for reviews on the Internet and ask your acupuncturist for a few references if you want to learn more about their methods.
As you can see, there is much more to acupuncture than simple pain relief. For centuries, it has proven to be beneficial to the mind, body and spirit of those who choose to give it a chance. What you have learned here should help you to make an informed decision, should you decide to try it for yourself.

Our bamboo (not willow as originally conceived) geodome will be part of the River Art Trail which is being sponsored by Waveney and Blyth Arts and the River Waveney Trust. Have learned a lot already about trying to work collaboratively when we live so far apart and have such busy lives! It will be interesting seeing what we have each made and trying to bring it together to form a cohesive piece of work. I am taking along fish and netting as part of our river/flow theme. Will add photos of the finished piece but in the meantime, here are some of my fish.

Strategic Imperatives
February 23, 2007
Have you ever been confused over establishing priorities for your business. One way to think about this issue is to establish strategic imperatives. Essentially, strategic imperatives define what you absolutely must accomplish over a given period of time to be successful. First, of course, you need to define your overall strategies within the context of your business plan.
Once that step is accomplished, you must review your entire plan and decide which strategies must be accomplished in order to achieve your objectives. The word MUST is the operative word. Clearly when you develop an annual plan every strategy and tactic in that plan has importance. So, the difficult decisions you must make are what are the most important strategies that must be accomplished. Without accomplishing those strategies, your plan will clearly fail.
Once you identify your strategic imperatives, then you need to lay out clearly and simply what you must do to accomplish each of those imperatives. Included should be key dates by which each of these steps must be accomplished.
This exercise will help you stay focused on what you need to do to ensure success in the coming year.

US presidential hopeful Hillary Clinton has called for overhauling America's "out of balance" criminal justice system, stressing on the need to end era of "mass incarceration" amid continued tensions over the deaths of young black men at the hands of police officers.
"We have allowed our criminal justice system to get out of balance. And these recent tragedies should galvanize us to come together as a nation to find our balance again," Clinton said here, referring to incidents of deaths of black men from Ferguson to Baltimore.
Clinton, addressing faculty and students at Columbia University yesterday, said the "inequities" that persist in the US justice system undermine a shared vision of what "America can be and should be".
Clinton listed the recent incidents that sparked tensions with the police, including the killing of Eric Garner, choked to death after being stopped for selling cigarettes in the city, shooting of unarmed Walter Scott in the back in Charleston.
"And, from Ferguson to Staten Island to Baltimore, the patterns have become unmistakable and undeniable," she said during one of her first significant speeches on the issue after announcing her bid for president.
She added that the nation has to come to terms with some "hard truths about race and justice in America."
Making a strong case for reforms in the criminal justice system, Clinton said there was a need for "fresh thinking" and "bold action" from all sides.
"We need to deliver real reforms that can be felt on our streets, in our courthouses, and our jails and prisons, in communities too long neglected. First, we need smart strategies to fight crime that help restore trust between law enforcement and our communities, especially communities of colour," she said.
Clinton called for ensuring that every police department in the country has body cameras to record interactions between officers on patrol and suspects, describing it as a "commonsense" measure.
She said of the more than two million Americans incarcerated today, a significant percentage are low-level offenders – people held for violating parole or minor drug crimes, or who are simply awaiting trial in backlogged courts.
"Without the mass incarceration that we currently practice, millions fewer people would be living in poverty.
Keeping them behind bars does little to reduce crime. But it is does a lot to tear apart families and communities," she said.
Clinton added that if the United States brought its correctional expenditures back in line with where they were several decades ago, it will save an estimated USD 28 billion a year.
"It's time to change our approach. It's time to end the era of mass incarceration. We need a true national debate about how to reduce our prison population while keeping our communities safe," she said.
Overhauling the criminal justice system needs to go hand in hand with correcting the inequality among communities, she said.

Moves management. We all know what it is. It's probably one of the first things we learn as development professionals. Moves management is the core of everything we do. It's a strategic and well-planned path to stronger relationships and greater giving. It's a means to carefully plan every move to increase awareness and commitment to your organization and its cause.
In my organization we're coming up on a quarterly deadline to get all of our actions recorded in our database. Somewhere in the scramble to record all my moves and plan next steps I started wondering how I could improve the process. Is there a better way that is more proactive instead of reactive?
As an organized, detail-oriented person, the concept of moves management is something I am wholeheartedly on board with. But, let's face it, it can be a daunting process, especially if you have a large list of new prospects, most of whom are in the very beginning, qualifying stages.
So I did a little research to see how others have tackled this issue. Here's three really great, simple ideas I found that can put new energy into your moves management process:
1) Identify your top 10 prospects, your next 20 and your next 30. This is a great starting point that can be used to set priorities and really focus your efforts. For your top 10, make a plan to connect with them in some way once a month. The next 20, every 2 months, and the next 30, every 3 months. Take the time each month to reevaluate and reorder your list. This great idea and many others came from Gail Perry's "Skyrocket Your Fundraising with a Systematic Major Gifts Program" webinar which I highly recommend.
2) Conduct a "mind-sweep" to create your individual donor plans. Focus on an individual donor and all the things you think need to happen to move them from one gift level to the next, and write them down. This list is now your "moves" that need to happen. Finally, add dates to the list and put it all into a spreadsheet, and you now have an organized, actionable individual donor plan!
3) Diligently record your moves. Record each move immediately after you have done it, or take 30 minutes out of your day – everyday – to complete this task. This idea isn't new or ingenious – we all know we should do it. But not having a week's (or month's) worth of actions to enter all at one time can make the whole process more manageable.
I'm just beginning to implement these three ideas into my moves management process. I'll keep you posted on my progress! In the meantime, I would love to hear what's worked for you. Please leave a comment below.

TV and Radio treats, most on-demand so they won't hold up your social plans. You could see the New Year in with Lang Lang and Howard Skempton on BBC Radio 3 but for me, from 1800hr, it's La Traviata from The Royal Opera House with Beczala, Perez and Keenlyside. This production has been done so many times that it's become pretty tired, but this second of the four casts was a surprise hit.
The opera is a vehicle for sopranos who always sound amazing, since Violetta is written wonderfully for voice, flatteriung every woman who sings it. Papa Germont is a vehicle for big name baritones because they don't have to sing all that much for their fee and star billing. And Alfredo's are often cast with up and coming media darlings. So along comes Piotr Beczala, and suddenly the perspective switches. It's like hearing the opera with fresh ears, from Alfredo's point of view. Beczala is extremely experienced and has one of the most beautiful lyric voices in the business. When I hear him, I think what Fritz Wunderlich might have been had he lived. Beczala has another advantage in that he understands his roles from within, so the singing flows from deep sources. So La Traviata takes on new life. "It's like falling in love all over again," said a friend. A good experience ! (review here)
On New Year's Day you can catch Maris Janssons live from the Musikverein, Vienna on TV and on Radio from 10.15. The current production of Wagner Die Meistersinger von Nürnberg at the Royal Opera House is worth catching at 1445 on January 1st It's enjoyable on its own terms, once you get your head around the fact that it's more good natured Donizetti than Wagner. (review here) It's unidiomatic but but at least genial, and not as bland as Walt Disney Wagner at the Met.
Mozart The Magic Flute from the Lucerne Festival should be worth hearing too. Daniel Harding conducts the Mahler Chamber Orchestra, whose personnel he has been connected with for years. The cast is mostly English or resident in England, which might be interesting.
Wild cards : Kurt Weill's Street Scene, one of his better "American" works, not that that's saying much. Much more unusual is the programme that places Beethoven's Egmont Overture in context, with readings from the original source. It also includes Sibelius's Kung Christian II. The performance isn't particularly rivetting, but the piece is worth hearing, even if it's very early work. It precedes the symphonies and more ambitious works like The Tempest but has affinities with his Kalevala pieces.

Survey Points to Positive Software Spending in 2010
It seems the worst of the worldwide economic slowdown is over, as most companies are beating their forecasts expectations. Sales are going up and companies are facing brighter future for the rest of the year. The economic downturn made most companies rethinked their expense habits and to plan better their corporate acquisition strategy.
Although organizations are continuing to drive down their total IT budgets in 2009 from 2008, in 2010 worldwide software budgets will increase, according to a survey by Gartner, Inc. The survey showed that organizations plan to increase their software budgets on average 1.53 percent in 2010.
Gartner surveyed approximately 1,000 IT professionals worldwide during April and May 2009. Respondents were asked whether they expected their 2010 IT budget to be below, be the same as or exceed the IT budget for 2009. Thirty percent of companies in Asia/Pacific, 28 percent in North America, and 25 percent in Europe, Middle East and Africa (EMEA) said they expected their 2010 IT budget to increase.
With regard to spending expectations for software by region, North America is still expected to decline 2.06 percent, and EMEA is only slightly positive at 0.45 percent for 2010 compared with 2009. Software budgets in Latin America will rise 2.54 percent, and in Asia/Pacific, software budgets will increase 4.34 percent, showing a very positive trend in increasing their software spending in 2010. Gartner analysts said this is a reflection of the relative maturity of the markets.
Generally, the survey found software spending to be holding ground, and consequently, Gartner recommends that vendors work toward helping clients know where they can cut costs and better utilize resources to allow new budgeted dollars to go further.
Gartner has the following recommendations for software vendors:
– Vendors must be able to differentiate with key integration technologies, vertical-market and line-of-business solutions/specialization, and diversified customer base.
– Vendors need to improve on their abilities to strengthen relationships with IT and lines of business, build trust, and deliver true business-enhancing results.
– Align go-to-market functions with the maturity of the demand. Tactics in an emerging or high-growth software market are not appropriate in consolidating or maturing markets.
Gartner advised software vendors not to use the current economic market as an excuse to scale back on their service offerings and said that vendors need to be able to differentiate with key integration technologies, vertical-market and line-of-business solutions, and diversified customer bases.
Analysts said that although infrastructure spending (telecom, networks, PCs and help desk, and their maintenance) still accounts, on average, for 37 percent of the IT budget, savings in the infrastructure area are being used to fund "frontier applications" that drive innovation and provide competitive edge.

There is one topic, and one topic only in this world that fills me to the brim with emotion while simultaneously robbing me of the words I could use as a release. Suicide. It takes me almost ten minutes to even continue after typing that word. But why? Suicide is one of those things that you just don't talk about. Don't want to upset people, don't want to upset yourself… and yet, so many of our lives have been touched by it, will be touched by it… could be ended by it. It kills me inside. I want to open a dialogue. I understand no one enjoys talking about this, suicide isn't pretty, it isn't inspiring, it just isn't good. But it is avoidable.
Lately it feels as if my world has been pushing me to write this post. I saw Milk earlier this week (fantastic movie) and during the suicide scene I bawled – thank god my boyfriend was there with me to help me collect myself or else I may not have made it to the end of the film. Since that night suicide has been on my mind and in my writing. Personally, I lost an aunt to suicide or, more specifically, the possibility of an aunt since she took her life before we even had the chance to meet. I feel like my whole life has been spent in the shadow of that event, always left to wonder what would have been if she had managed to find a way to cope. If I had one wish, one dream come true, I would wish for a world where no one reached that place, where no one felt that ending their own life was the best or only course of action they could take. That dream is possible; with communication and love, the hate that brings people to that dark and lonely place can be rendered useless I really do believe this.
No good comes from not talking about things, no good comes from bottling your thoughts and feelings up. If we could just talk about it – what pushes someone to that place, what makes us feel as if we could stand in their place… if we just talked maybe things would get fixed.
Society makes depression or any type of mental issue into a stigma, something to be ashamed of and swept under the rug. I spent years telling people I had "doctors appointments" or "dentists appointments"…. anything so that I didn't have to admit I was going to therapy. But why? Therapy is a beautiful thing, it can transform lives. People who go to therapy learn how to deal with stress and sadness, they learn how to build stronger relationships, they grow to better understand themselves. What's to be ashamed of in that? Personally, I believe yearly mental health "exams" should be encouraged, like physicals, just to check up on one's emotional health (and I don't say this just because I want to be a counselor myself!) While we're on the topic, you know what else is great? Crying. No reason to be ashamed of that, a good cry can be just the release that anyone female OR male could use to push some sadness out.
Its frustrating that is issue, possibly the closest on to my heart, is the one that I can hardly think of a way to help. Volunteering at hot lines and working as a therapist are methods of course, but I just feel like its not enough. Really I feel like society doesn't have enough of a safety net in place for people who experience emotional fallout. But, as I have said so many times on this blog, we cannot hope to change society; we can only hope to change ourselves.
How many times do we pass our acquaintances, even friends, and ask how they are without even stopping to find out the answer? I know I have at least five exchanges a day that go exactly like this…
Me: *spots friend in hallway* Hey!
Friend: Hey!
Me: How are you?
Friend: I'm… *and I'm gone before I can hear the rest*
Does this sound familiar? We all do it. We all need to stop. And I mean it literally, stop and listen to someone's response. And furthermore, when someone asks us how we are I think we should be honest. None of this "fine" bullshit… it seems like my friends are always "fine" or "good" but that can't be true 100% of the time – some of them are lying. I understand its a social norm to say something like good or fine, we wouldn't want to make a casual social interaction like this too heavy or too awkward after all, now would we? I think we should. I mean, why not? Just imagine what it would be like if everyone in this world was just honest with their friends about how they were feeling, if everyone sought out comfort and friendship when they were sad; I bet we'd have a lot less people feel the desperation it takes to push them out of this world.
So I would like to challenge everyone reading this to just take a small step: open your eyes to the people around you, ask how people are and wait to hear the answer every time (if you have to turn around and walk in their direction for a moment to get the answer, do it) and if someone asks you how you are, tell the truth.
It may feel weird at first but once you've confided in a friend, or made it a point to hear how they are you will have made a connection – opened up a lifeline that both of you will feel more comfortable using in times of pain and sadness, as well as times of joy.
I promise you won't regret it!

I have been trying my best with Demon's Souls, but it has turned quite dull, almost boring at times. It is of course very exciting to explore new areas and meet different demons and challenges, but after the 20th time you know what will happen and that does not add to the suspense…
Gloomy world
The world of Demon's Souls is a bit on the colorless side. Don't get me wrong here, I love dark games, but this game more lacks color and variation than it is dark. Many areas are quite similar, inside castles, dungeons, prisons; but even the outside areas have a bleak atmosphere that make them look similar to each other. A few games can have repetitive areas and still be great, but a game that relies on visuals like Demon's Souls need more variation in the environments and layouts of the levels.
Bad level design
One thing I almost laughed out loud at when I saw was a message I got when trying to enter a new area. I beat a boss called Tower Knight and I thought, "cool, now I can proceed to the next part of this level", but when I tried to enter the fog (which cover entrances to new areas) it said something like "You have to beat an arch deamon before you can proceed".
The bad thing in this is not that I could not proceed, but the way the "stop" has been implemented. It would have been so much more logic to put up a huge, locked door with a gigantic lock. Then I would have understood that I have to search for that key. There could even been a message "You need the arch deamon's key to proceed". Invisible walls are the worst design thing/feature in games, especially First/Third person games where you are (more or less) free to roam. Just put up a bl***y door, wall, river or something, as long as it is a real, physical barrier!
What made this message in Demon's Souls so bad was that normally you can enter these fogs after beating a boss, and they just put up a message with some reason that you cannot enter it now. It could have been done so much better, at least in my eyes…
I don't need to much of a story to play a game, but Demon's Souls loose world gives no feeling of connectivity or relatedness between the events in the world. Why is there a "teleportation" hub instead of roads between the different worlds; that would have made much more sense.
In Dark Souls more or less the whole world is connected through pathways, gates or other systems or travel. This gives you a feeling that you are playing in the same world, even if it is huge and some areas are more remote than others.
The difficulty is the saver
Not all is bad in Demon's Souls though, otherwise I wouldn't play it at all. Most of these "complaints" are based on comparisons with Dark Souls (see more below) and a really great thing that this game still have, is the difficulty; a difficulty that let you succeed if you play everything right, but if you take one step wrong, then you are, literally, dead. This is a big reason I come back to this game; "I have to beat this part / puzzle / enemy / abomination!"
Dark Souls, preferable
I played Dark Souls before I played Demon's Souls, that can of course play a role. Perhaps I expect that Demon's Souls should live up to the greatness of Dark Souls, but unfortunately that have not happened yet. I have played around 20 hours of Demon's Souls but have not reached any cool area or vile creature that can compare to the greatness of the game world and the inhabitants of Dark Souls.
I will surely play through the whole game anyway, and hopefully it will "take off" soon, to impress me in the same way as Dark Souls did. Currently crossing my fingers for a third installment in this game series; please make it happen soon!!

After burning her fingers with her movie debut Nasha, controversy's favourite child Poonam Pandey has finally signed a second film
The film is to be produced by The World Networks who are venturing into film production for the first time.
Says Poonam excitedly, "I can't tell you how many scripts I've rejected after Nasha. It will sound like bragging. But when these producers The World Networks came to me with this offer I instinctively knew it was the right project as my second film. Nasha suffered because of poor marketing. I am confident these producers will take my film wherever it is destined to go."
When asked if there will be a lot of skin show Poonam Pandey says, "My fans won't be disappointed. But there is much more than just skin in this film. It is a very sensitive subject. That's all I can reveal right now."

Once the wife of Hadhrat Abu Darda (radhiyallahu anhu), a Sahaabi, supplicated: "O Allah! Here on earth Abu Darda married me. Perform my nikah to him in Jannat as well."
Hadhrat Abu Darda (radhiyallahu anhu) said: "if you wish to be my wife of Jannat, do not marry after my death"
After his death, Hadhrat Muaawiyah (radhiyallahu anhu) proposed marriage to her. On account of her desire to be married to Hadhrat Abu Darda (radhiyallahu anhu) in Jannat, she refused the proposal of Hadhrat Muaawiyah (radhiyallahu anhu). In Jannat a woman will be the wife of her last Husband.
