Mark Rippetoe is the owner, janitor and general manager of Wichita Falls Athletic Club, CrossFit Wichita Falls and Performance Sports Conditioning. He has 25 years experience in the fitness industry and 10 years personal experience as a competitive powerlifter. He has coached athletes in barbell and strength sports since 1980. He was in the very first group to sit for the NCSA's Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist exam in 1985. He was certified by USA Weightlifting as a Level III Coach in 1988, and currently holds the Senior Coach certification. He has coached numerous national level competitors, and many thousands of people interested in improving their health and strength.
Mark Rippetoe, along with Lon Kilgore, currently has four books in publication:

Strong Enough? : Thoughts from Thirty Years of Barbell Training.
Weightlifting BackgroundEdit
I have been doing the [clean and jerk and the snatch] as a part of my training since 1979. I was a competitive powerlifter, but we snatched and c&jed as a part of training with Bill Starr. I have snatched 82.5 and C&Jed 105 as lifts that were not my competitive sport. My best clean was 275 many years ago -- power, I believe. I have been coached by Bill Starr, Tommy Suggs, Jim Moser, Dr. Kilgore, Glenn Pendlay, Angel Spassov, Harvey Newton, and many fellow lifters. I have never claimed to be a good weightlifter, but I have coached the lifts since 1984. I obtained my USWF Level III certification in 1988 at the OTC in Colo Spgs with Mike Stone, Harvey Newton, and Angel Spassov on faculty. I obtained my USAW Senior Coach certification in 1999 at the OTC with Lyn Jones, John Thrush, Mike Conroy, et al. I was invited, as an Olympic weightlifting coach, to the Olympic Solidarity course at the OTC in 2000. I have coached and participated in the coaching of Jim Moser, Glenn Pendlay, Dr. Kilgore, several of our national and international-level athletes, and the members of the collegiate team at Midwestern State University (still actively coaching the MSU people) and Wichita Falls Weightlifting from 1999-2006. I still actively coach the sport on a daily basis here at CFWF/WFAC, and the power clean (and occasionally the power snatch) at our seminars around the country every month.

Compressional Fault Zones
San Gorgonio Pass Fault Zone
We apply the name San Gorgonio Pass fault zone to a series of Quaternary reverse, thrust, and wrench faults that extends from the Whitewater area westward to the Calimesa area. This system is associated spatially with the Banning fault, but the evolution of the San Gorgonio Pass fault zone may have no relationship kinematically to the paleotectonic Banning fault.
In map view, the San Gorgonio Pass fault zone has a distinctive zig-zag character caused by repetition of a distinctive fault geometry an L-shaped fault distribution in which the elongate staff of the L is oriented northwestward and the shorter base of the L eastward to northeastward. The east-oriented segments are reverse and thrust faults, with moderately dipping reverse faults in the west half of the fault zone and shallowly dipping thrust faults in the east half. The northwest-oriented segments appear to be vertical wrench faults having oblique right-lateral displacements. These segments have approximately the same orientation as active right-lateral faults in the region.
On the east, faults of the San Gorgonio Pass zone first appear a few km west of Whitewater River, where the Coachella Valley segment of the Banning fault splays into multiple north-dipping thrust sheets (Morton and others, 1987). Traced westward, faults of the San Gorgonio Pass zone disappear in the Calimesa area a region where we identify normal faults of the Crafton Hills horst-and-graben complex and where the San Bernardino strand of the San Andreas fault changes to a more northerly strike. These spatial relations between neotectonic fault complexes having three different kinematic styles (right-lateral strike slip, extension, and contraction) suggest that the fault systems are mechanically interrelated.
Faults of the San Gorgonio Pass zone all are late Quaternary in age. Some faults in the complex may have been active only in late Pleistocene time; others have been active throughout the late Pleistocene and Holocene and have generated ground ruptures as recently as a few thousand years ago (J.C. Tinsley and J.C. Matti, unpubl. trench data, 1986). Faults with confirmed Holocene displacements have been identified only in the eastern part of the San Gorgonio Pass zone between Beaumont and Whitewater; faults in the western part of the zone between Beaumont and Calimesa appear to have been active only in late Pleistocene time (J.C. Matti and D.M. Morton, unpubl. data). However, future ground ruptures throughout the entire extent of the San Gorgonio Pass fault zone cannot be ruled out.
Cucamonga Fault Zone
The Cucamonga Fault zone is located along the southern margin of the eastern San Gabriel Mountains, and marks the eastern end of the frontal-fault system of the San Gabriel Mountains. The Cucamonga fault is a zone of Quaternary reverse and thrust faults. The fault zone consists of numerous inter-twining, east-striking, north-dipping thrusts that separate crystalline basement rocks of the eastern San Gabriel Mountains from alluvium of upper Santa Ana valley to the south. Some thrust faults of the zone lie entirely within alluvium (Morton and Matti, 1987). Slickensides in the basement rocks are consistently oriented down-dip, indicating the most recent displacements along the Cucamonga Fault zone have been pure thrust.
The pre-Quaternary history of the Cucamonga fault is obscure, but its latest Pleistocene and Holocene history reflects convergence between the Perris block and the San Gabriel Mountains. Individual faulting events are estimated at about 6.7 M with a recurrence of about 625 years for the past 13,000 years (Matti and others, 1982; Morton and Matti, 1987). The average north-south convergence across the Cucamonga Fault zone is estimated to have been in the range of 3 mm/yr (Weldon, 1986) to 5 mm/yr (Matti and others, 1982b; Morton and Matti, 1987).
Faulting within the Cucamonga fault zone has recurred episodically during Quaternary time. The oldest faults occur within the north part of the fault zone, where some faults cut crystalline basement rock but do not break even the oldest Quaternary alluvial units. Younger faults occur farther south at the mountain front and form conspicuous scarps in young Pleistocene and Holocene alluvial fans (Morton and Matti, 1987). These relations suggest that during late Pleistocene and Holocene time, faulting within the Cucamonga fault zone migrated southward. This southward-younging pattern is complicated by merging of individual strands locally and by apparent merging of all strands in the western part of the fault zone. Latest episodes of strain release may have occurred mainly in the eastern 15 km of the fault zone and not throughout its entire 25-km length. The more complicated fault pattern in the eastern part of the zone may reflect interaction between the Cucamonga and San Jacinto faults. We speculate that northwestward migration of the Perris block by right-lateral strike-slip on the San Jacinto fault during the Quaternary has been taken up partly by reverse and thrust-fault displacements within the Cucamonga fault zone.

Viewers who tune into TNT's Men of a Certain Age (Monday, 10/9c) won't find the next decade's version of Everybody Loves Raymond, and they certainly won't laugh as much as they're used to.
Ray Romano, who used his unique perspective on life to tell jokes, first as a stand-up comedian and later as a sitcom star, uses that same perspective to examine weightier issues. And even though Raymond depicted Romano's semi-autobiographical experiences as a son, brother, husband and father, he says his new character, golfer-turned-party-store-owner Joe Tranelli, is much closer to home.
Check out photos of the Men of a Certain Age cast"That's the sad part. This is more in common [with] me than Ray Barone," Romano says. "Obviously, I'm not divorced and the situation's a little different, but I think internally ... there's a point where I'm kind of going through the same doubts that this character is. The same wonderings of where am I going next? That's kind how I felt after Raymond ended. It was exciting to come off of a successful show and something that I was very proud of. But there was a bit of an identity loss there, and a bit of a void from not being able to do something everyday creative."So Romano teamed with Raymond collaborator Mike Royce to write a pilot about men on the brink of turning 50. "We have the same sensibilities and we were kind of going through the same thing. This need and this search for direction in the next thing in our life," Romano says. "So we said let's write about what we know. That's what works for us, and so we found a way to come with up with characters that were kind of going through at a different level the things that we were going through."Romano, 51, plays a newly separated father of two, who struggles not only with wanting to reconcile with his wife, but also the gambling addiction that ruined the marriage. For support, he leans on two of his college buddies: Owen (Homicide's Andre Braugher), a diabetic, used-car salesman with daddy issues, and Terry (Quantum Leap and Star Trek: Enterprise's Scott Bakula), a small-time actor who works a temp job and still enjoys life as bachelor.
TNT greenlights Ray Romano's Men of a Certain Age"It's a carefully observed, very humane comedy," Braugher, 47, tells TVGuide.com of the show. "The basis for Raymond being such a success is the fact that it was a truthful human comedy. And I think that's also true here. It all begins with carefully observed human behavior."I think we can all relate to the being at that age and asking the question: Is that all there is?" Braugher says. "Some people go insane when they realize that's all there is, and some people become better. How you respond to that question is how you're life's going to go."Braugher's character learns his father isn't planning to hand over the keys to the Chevrolet dealership when he retires. And besides fighting for his father's respect, he battles an eating habit that creates its share of health problems. But Braugher says the journey is worthwhile."He becomes more capable in every direction — as a husband, as a father, as a son, as a friend, as a car salesman," Braugher says. "He's kind of floating in his own limbo. He's not a very good car salesman when he starts, and he's kind of an overbearing father. But things change [by the end of the season]. I wouldn't say that everything is roses, but Owen [uses] these 10 episodes to become a much more capable man."
Go behind the scenes on the set of the show with BraugherBakula, 54, says his character's arc is based in the realization that there's nothing wrong with settling down. "It's the classic grass is always greener [scenario]," Bakula says. "His friends look at him and say, 'Man you got it easy; you've got no cares.' And he's looking at them, saying, 'You've got these kids and a wife that loves you.' [Being single] is not all it's cracked up to be, obviously. The nature of humans is we like companionship, and this guy's no exception to that. He just hasn't found the right one."The great joy of the script and the potential danger of the script is that it isn't something we have on TV," Bakula says. "These guys are talking about their lives in a very real, humorous, and poignant way. ... There's just this brutal honesty that guys have with each other when they've known each other a long time. It's kind of a behind-the-scenes look at what guys our age are talking about, thinking about, looking forward to, worried about."But will the depiction of these existential crises find an audience? Romano worries about how the show will be received, both by the TNT audience who's grown used to the cable network's brand of procedurals and those perhaps expecting a sitcom."I like to think of it as more of a real-life drama with comedic moments in it, but somebody could think it's just the reverse," Romano says. "But we don't really make a point of thinking, 'OK, we need comedy here, we need drama here.' We just have an idea and we write the story. It's natural for me ... to be thinking of something funny during the scene and as long as it's in character and it's real, we'll do it."

The item came the next day and was exactly as described. Very impressed with every part of the experience and wouldn't hesitate using/recommending Catherine Best. Thanks

This limited edition bronze is a piece of art by Michael Simpson and fits in so well with the art that the Team at Catherine Best create and sell.

R&B star Sean Kingston underwent three life-saving operations following his May jet ski smash, and was rushed back into surgery just before his planned release from hospital.
The 21-year-old singer was left in a critical condition after the accident in Miami, Florida and reveals he underwent open-heart surgery after the crash.
He spent nearly a month in hospital recovering and was discharged in late June - but Sean Kingston would have been home sooner if he hadn't needed another emergency procedure to fix a torn aorta.
Speaking in an MTV special, Kingston reveals he was about to leave the hospital when he felt a "shocking pain" and medics rushed him back into the operating theatre.
He explains, "They were gonna send me home, but then I had felt a pain in my left chest, and I told my mom. They rushed me and they did a lot of scans on me, (and) they said I couldn't leave.
"A lot of people don't know it was a deeper situation. I had open-heart surgery and I had two other surgeries; it was a life-or-death situation."
But the star refuses to give up thrill-seeking: "I'm definitely going to be jet-skiing again. I have to overcome my fear. It wasn't the jet ski, it was not knowing the area."

Impact on diabetes management of General Practice Management Plans, Team Care Arrangements and reviews
Leelani K Wickramasinghe, Peter Schattner, Marienne E Hibbert, Joanne C Enticott, Michael P Georgeff and Grant M Russell
Med J Aust 2013; 199 (4): 261-265.
doi: 10.5694/mja13.10161
Objectives: To investigate whether General Practice Management Plans (GPMPs), Team Care Arrangements (TCAs) and reviews of these improve the management and outcomes of patients with diabetes when supported by cdmNet, a web-based chronic disease management system; and to investigate adherence to the annual cycle of care (ACOC), as recommended in diabetes guidelines.
Design, participants and setting: A before-and-after study to analyse prospectively collected data on 577 patients with type 1 or 2 diabetes mellitus who were managed with a GPMP created using cdmNet between June 2008 and November 2012.
Main outcome measures: Completion of the clinical tests in the ACOC (process outcome) and values of six of these clinical measurements (clinical outcomes).
Results: Significant improvements were seen after creation of a GPMP in the proportion of ACOC clinical tests completed (57.9% v 74.8%, P < 0.001), total cholesterol level (P < 0.01), low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol level (P < 0.001) and body mass index (BMI) (P < 0.01). Patients using GPMPs and TCAs also improved their glycated haemoglobin (HbA1c) level (P < 0.05). Patients followed up with irregular reviews had significant improvements in the proportion of ACOC clinical tests completed (59.2% v 77.6%, P < 0.001), total cholesterol level (P < 0.05), and BMI (P < 0.01), but patients with regular reviews had greater improvements in the proportion of ACOC clinical tests completed (58.9% v 85.0%, P < 0.001), HbA1c level (57.7 v 53.0 mmol/mol, P < 0.05), total cholesterol level (4.8 v 4.5 mmol/L, P < 0.05), LDL cholesterol level (2.8 v 2.4 mmol/L, P < 0.01) and diastolic blood pressure (76.0 v 74.0 mmHg, P < 0.05).
Conclusion: There were significant improvements in process and clinical outcomes for patients on a GPMP or a GPMP and TCA, particularly when these were followed up by regular reviews. Patients using cdmNet were four times more likely to have their GPMP or TCA followed up through regular reviews than the national average.

I was also sent a press release with some commentary:
Melbourne 19 August 2013
As diabetes looms as a runaway epidemic in Australia, a Monash University study suggests that Internet technologies may be key to overcoming this challenge to our healthcare system.
The study monitored 577 diabetes patients over 14 months. It showed significant improvements in quality of care and clinical outcomes for patients whose care was supported by an internet-based care management service called cdmNet. The study is published in the Medical Journal of Australia issue of 19 August.
cdmNet assists General Practitioners (GPs) and patients to manage chronic diseases and other illnesses. Using cdmNet, any member of the patient's care team can access the patient's health record and care plan, including the GP, specialists, allied health, pharmacists, and the patient themselves. They can do this from anywhere, anytime, while maintaining data privacy and security. Everyone on the team knows what everyone else is doing, all the time.
The results of the study show that 80% of patients on a care plan created and managed using cdmNet were regularly reviewed and followed up compared with national figures indicating fewer than 20% follow up of (non-cdmNet) patients.
Furthermore, of those patients who received regular reviews, 85% adhered to best practice care compared with 59% otherwise.
Comparing patients before and after the use of cdmNet, significant improvements were observed in
· HbA1c*, the surrogate measure of blood glucose levels, fell from a mean of 8.4% to 7.4% for patients with an initially high HbA1c
· Lower total cholesterol (4.6 to 4.3 mmol/L); and
· Lower LDL (bad) cholesterol (2.6 to 2.3 mmol/L)
The greatest improvements were in patients who had regular reviews of their care plan.
Professor Michael Georgeff, CEO of Precedence Health Care, the company that developed cdmNet, said the study suggests that improvement in clinical outcomes is related to the level of coordination among the care team and with the patient. It also indicates that patients are more likely to adhere to their plan when it is regularly reviewed and followed up by the GP and the care team.
"How to put this into practice is the challenge. GPs' waiting rooms are full of people with a chronic illness. Trying to keep track of what everyone is doing or not doing places a huge burden on GPs and practices, especially when communications among the team are limited to fax, telephone tag and hand delivery of patient information.
"Without the use of advanced Internet and mobile technologies, one simply cannot achieve the level of coordination and follow up needed for these patients.
"More than seven million Australians have a chronic disease, costing the health care system more than $70 billion per year. The losses to the economy through reduced workforce participation rates and productivity are more than $8 billion per year. Diabetes alone accounts for nearly a quarter of avoidable hospitalisations and 9% of deaths.
"It will be impossible to maintain a sustainable health care system without the use of these technologies," Professor Georgeff said.
For GPs on the front line who have adopted cdmNet as a patient management tool, the results speak for themselves. Dr Tim Denton, GP in Anglesea, Victoria and chair of the Barwon Medicare Local, said: "Since using cdmNet for ensuring quality of care, we have not had any amputations, strokes or progressive retinopathy in our patients with diabetes. People have fewer complications, are living better lives and living longer."
Professor Paul Zimmet, AO, Director Emeritus at the Baker IDI Heart and Diabetes Institute and Adjunct Professor at Monash doesn't hold back on the level of concern he holds for the "rise and rise" of diabetes in Australia.
"Diabetes in the 21st century is the equivalent of cholera in the 19th century and HIV/AIDS in the 20th century. During this millennium, diabetes is well on the way to cementing its place as the fastest growing epidemic in human history. And the situation in Australia is daunting both from the personal cost to individuals for medical and support care and the economic cost to the nation due to reduced national productivity as type 2 diabetes is now affecting the workforce age group and even children and adolescents.
"In Australia, there are at least 1.5 million known cases of diabetes and a similar number with pre-diabetes. Moreover, for every diagnosed person with diabetes, there is likely to be one undiagnosed case. So, we are looking at potentially more than 4 million people, either with diabetes or who are at risk. It is possible therefore that some 20% of the Australian population is affected by diabetes in some way.
"The medium to long-term answer, of course, is prevention. But, in the meantime, to reduce the burden of this epidemic, people with diabetes require comprehensive support and care from a whole range of allied health professionals along with GPs and specialists. It is a unique healthcare challenge and its treatment is best administered through a management plan involving a complete care team.
"Web-based tools appear to enable this kind of care more easily and, as the Monash study indicates, clinical outcomes are worthwhile and likely to reduce the burden of the sometimes devastating complications of diabetes.
"Diabetes is potentially the greatest epidemic in the history of world. By 2020, the condition will bankrupt the economies of many nations unless urgent action is taken," Professor Zimmet added.

2013 Sun Run: Ran the Spring Run Off race
I did not make it to my Sun Run training clinic this Sunday. And you are thinking I was on my couch watching "March Madness." Wrong. I ran the 8K Spring Run Off race at Stanley Park in just over 40 minutes. It was a perfect day for a run; slightly overcast and cool. I have to admit that it wasn't easy run; felt winded. I realized after the run that I wasn't breathing properly. Lesson: Remember to breathe on race day!
The weather did not cooperate last Wednesday when I ran with Joyce – a friend and neighbour. We faced sheets of rain and the wind was gusting. That didn't stop us from running around the seawall for 1 hour and 45 minutes and completing our long (17K) run in preparation for the BMO half marathon on May 5th. It wasn't an easy run, but as Joyce put it: "I can feel it, but in a good way."
This Wednesday, we plan to do another long run early in the morning. As to how we are going to feel, you will have to read my next blog post.

Who Should Host the 2018 Super Bowl?October 10, 2013
Three finalists have been asked by the NFL to submit bids to be the host for Super Bowl LII in February, 2018.
As ESPN reports, the pressure now ratchets up for folks in Indianapolis, Minneapolis and New Orleans, as business and civic leaders put their heads together in an effort to win the rights to the financial bonanza that is football's biggest game.
Speculation will also grow as fans debate which city should host the game. With all due respect to those fans, and the fine citizens of the 'Polis-ses, this is a one-horse race.
Granted, this isn't to say that Minneapolis and Indianapolis have no chance, or that they wouldn't be fine host sites.
It's been a while since the city of Minneapolis hosted their one and only Super Bowl. In fact, it's been more than two decades since the Washington Redskins defeated the Buffalo Bills 37-24 in Super Bowl XXVI.
The biggest obstacle to the Twin Cities hosting the game is in the process of being eliminated. By the time that Super Bowl LII rolls around, the Vikings will be playing their games in a brand-new billion-dollar downtown stadium chock full of the bells and whistles that the NFL looks for in a Super Bowl venue.
Michele Kelm-Helgen, chairwoman of the Minnesota Sports Facilities Authority, told Richard Meryhew of The Minneapolis Star-Tribune that hosting the Super Bowl is only the beginning where the new stadium is concerned:
To me, the most exciting part of this is it is just the beginning of what I think are going to be many amazing economic development opportunities that this stadium is going to attract. The impact, I think, is going to be significant.
That may well be, but construction hasn't even started yet, which could hurt their chances this time around.
The biggest problem Minneapolis has is one the city can't do anything about: the weather.
It has a tendency to be a little on the chilly side in Minnesota in February. As Jacquie Walker of WIVB-TV pointed out two years ago during the lead-up to Super Bowl XLVI in Indianapolis, fans in Minneapolis back in 1992 had to brave sub-zero weather during Super Bowl week while traveling around the city.
Remember, the Super Bowl isn't just a game. It's an event, a week of parties and gatherings that lead up to a football game. Don't think for a minute that the NFL won't give serious consideration to the fact that fans may become fansicles while navigating the city, especially if Super Bowl XLVIII in New York is a frozen fiasco.
However, a small(ish) Midwestern city has recently shown they can pull off the Super Bowl.
As Super Bowl XLVI approached, questions swirled over the city of Indianapolis. Would the weather be lousy? Could a city with the nickname "Naptown" successfully pull off the most exciting spectacle in American sports?
The answers were "no" and a resounding "YES!"
The week leading up to the New York Giants victory over the New England Patriots was hailed as a rousing success. As Dan Bickley of The Arizona Republic wrote (via The Huffington Post), "Incredulity is in the air. Naptown is alive and thriving. The urban Super Bowl is a huge success, where everything is in walking distance, and everyone feels the electricity."
The success of Super Bowl XLVI likely landed Indy a spot as a semi-regular in the "Super Circuit." They will host the game again.
Just not in 2018, because of one huge problem with the city of Indianapolis.
It isn't New Orleans.
There's a reason why New Orleans has hosted 10 Super Bowls, including Super Bowl XLVII this past February.
There isn't a more vibrant, fun, exciting or exotic city in all of America than New Orleans. There also isn't a city with more experience at how to show people a good time.
Yes, last year's game between the San Francisco 49ers and Baltimore Ravens was marred by a second-half power failure in the relatively ancient Superdome.
Had that happened anywhere else it would have been a death knell for that city's chances of hosting another game. In the Big Easy? People just shrugged their shoulders and kept partying.
It's certainly no slight to either Indianapolis or Minneapolis, but this isn't even a competition. They have new stadiums. New Orleans has Bourbon Street and the French Quarter.
Minneapolis and Indianapolis are cities. New Orleans is a destination.
The destination that should host Super Bowl LII.

Michelle Suzanne Dockery is a British actress and singer probably best known for her role as Lady Mary Crawley on "Downton Abbey." She will also lend her voice to the show "Family Guy," in which she'll appear an aristocrat in a British period drama.
For her role on "Downton Abbey," Michelle Dockery was nominated for a Golden Globe and Emmy Award, and won a Screen Actors Guild Award for Outstanding Performance by an Ensemble in a Drama Series. Her onscreen will-they-or-won-they relationship has been called the Ross and Rachel of period drama.
Michelle Dockery said of her character, "Mary and I are quite different. I guess I liked her snobbishness in the beginning."
She said, "I come from a working class background, so my family would've been downstairs in the past. People are often surprised to hear I'm not actually posh." (Her maternal great-grandmother was in service as a domestic servant.)
Michelle said of her costumes, "I don't mind wearing a corset, it informs your posture, changes the way you move, you can't slouch."

She added, "We're approached far more in America. I wonder whether that's to do with Americans generally being more confident at approaching someone."
Michelle Dockery graduated from the Guildhall School of Music & Drama in 2004 and apprenticed at London's National Theatre. She said she lost roles when she was younger due to her Essex accent. She won Best Newcomer at the 2008 Evening Standard Theatre Awards for her portrayal of Eliza Doolittle in Pygmalion.
Aside from acting, Michelle Dockery is a jazz singer, having appeared at the London club Ronnie Scotts' and music festivals. She also dances and plays the guitar. She has recorded backing vocals on Elizabeth McGovern's album with her band Sadie and the Hotheads.

Michelle Dockery has also appeared in "Hanna" and "Anna Karenina."
She told Life and Style that she'd loved to work with Kristen Wiig and her celeb crush is Jim Carter, who plays Mr. Carson on "Downton Abbey."
Michelle Dockery resides in London when not traveling for work.

It is important to show yourself in an updated, professional portrait that projects a level of professionalism yet approachability.
Call for your updated headshot and choose two different looks. We provide two images on a USB for your convenience, one is high resolution for marketing material and the other is suitable for web use.
- Glasses: if you use them and want them in your headshot, please take out the lenses if possible (eyeglass kits are helpful). It helps us avoid removing eyeglass glare which is difficult at times in Photoshop.
- Wear darker colors: they distract less from your face. Men should wear a suit or jacket with a tie and women should wear a blouse with a darker suit jacket.
- Try to avoid white when all possible.
- Think of what you would wear to an interview as a good guide.

Microsoft revealed that the Windows Phone 8 will support the Micro SD cards, for hosting photos, music, video, movies and for installing games and applications. It also allows you to format the card in NTFS type and will also be compatible with other systems, so that it would be readable by others on their systems. A few days ago, the installing of the applications 100% was possible on the Micro SD card, but now, after the CNET reportage, Microsoft says that the applications shouldn't be installed onto the memory card, because it puts the booting system in a difficult situation, so that it would be much better if the users install their applications from their memory card, directly to their phones.
So, this means that the users should keep an eye on the space available of any Windows Phone 8 that they are buying, because the applications from our days can easily pass 1GB, when yo are installing it. Also, another risky situation is if you remove the card, after you have installed the application or applications on it, so that the phone presents a high risk of making corrupted files. You don't need to install applications on the memory card, if the internal memory of your phone allows you to install the applications, because you can use the card as a stick: you just put the files that you need in there and just remove it when it is necessary. Now, in my opinion, Windows Phone 8 is a great success and the Micro SD should be used, no more than for keeping personal information.

Having had breast cancer I add this to lots of my food as Green Tea Powder is a anti-cancer superfood. Be careful not to use too much as it's very strong.Using a hand blender (or smoothie maker), blend until the mixture is a fairly smooth liquid. If it's too thick you can add more yoghurt, coconut water or just use normal water. It should be the consistency of smoothies. Squeeze in some lemon juice, this will stop the mixture going brown.Optional step: The smoothie will have bits in. If you don't like bits then pass it through a sieve. At this stage you can drink it as a smoothie but in this hot weather I like to pour the mixture into lolly moulds.

TERRELL (CBS 11 NEWS) – It's been a little more than a decade since Terrell Army Sergeant Gerardo Moreno was killed in action while serving in Iraq. On Saturday his mother Sandra Iracheta received a special gift honoring her fallen son and recognizing his service to his country.
The North Texas Patriot Guard Riders rode into Terrell to deliver the gift. Printed on a large canvas was his portrait painted alongside images of his young children.
Iracheta said, "it makes me feel that they still care for my son", about the gift she received.
Sgt. Moreno was known to his family and friends in Terrell as "Chito". He was only 23-years-old when he died.
His mother says she will never forget the words her son spoke to her when he left for war. She tells us he hugged her and said, "I have to do everything for my country no matter what."
It was that kind of honor that he set out with to accomplish his mission in Iraq. Now that honor has been returned to his home and his mother.
Iracheta, says she was always concerned for her son's safety in Iraq and she feared his death was imminent. It's not the way she wanted him to come home, but his legacy now lives on in their hearts and on a piece of canvas.

Fashion is a constant cycle. There isn't much that is new or ground breaking, just revisited and redesigned. Eventually everything comes back. Even shoulder pads. Yes, those pillow like cushions worn to broaden your frame, add power to your suit and perhaps adding a cozier comfort to your shoulder to cry on. Sure there are those that might have a shoulder deficiency and require a little extra something. And of course there are the bold and the um, beautiful, that can pull this look off today and everyday . But for the general masses (and I am making an assumption here, prove me wrong, please) the thought of shoulder pads bring up images that make most say "Oh Hell NO!". I, myself, love the gigantic shoulder, let it be a poof or a puff or a shoulder pad…or three. Seeing the broad shoulder beauties strutting their stuff down the runways as of late has gotten my shoulders doing the happy dance!
Now if this is a trend not for you or perhaps you are a "I lived it once not again" kind of gal I have a few suggestions for alternative uses for what you might consider a fashion faux pas.
1. Add a little something else where…give your girls a lift (you know what I'm saying), I would not suggest adding to your backside.
2. Knee pads…for all that scrubbing you do on your hands and knees or knee spins in your break-dance routines.
3. Pad out a dress form to fit your measurement needs.
4. Stuff the toes of shoes and hi-heels to help maintain the shape.
Love them or leave them? That's for you to decide.

LONDON, MONDAY: People often feel the most profound question they can ask after a senseless killing is "why"? It speaks not only to bafflement faced with the apparent meaningless of the particular act, but also to our more existential need to find explanations for the things that happen to us and around us, and ultimately our search for a meaning for life (and death) itself.
On Saturday afternoon, someone unfurled a huge banner in Paris's Place de la République saying, "Pourquoi?" Perhaps the literal translation, "for what", is better here than "why". Because "why" doesn't seem a particularly useful question to ask about something like the Charlie Hebdo massacre. The killers would have no difficultly answering it, and we know more or less what they would say. "For what?" or "to what end?" would be a more difficult question and a truthful answer would be revealing. What these people wanted could range from the utterly delusional (a global Islamic caliphate), through the implausible (civil war in France) to the much more terrifyingly possible (permanent alienation between the Muslim and non-Muslim communities in Europe). My gut feeling is that jihadist "leaders" will tend towards the more realistic (and dangerous) end of that spectrum; the actual killers are more likely to be delusional in their motives. But who knows?
Rather than (metaphorically) asking the killers why they did it, we might more usefully ask ourselves why these people think so differently to us. Why do they not recognise and respect free speech? Why do they not see religious observance as a private matter and not something to be imposed on other people? Why do they see ISIL's statelet in Syria and Iraq, where life is indeed "nasty, brutish and short", as preferable to free, prosperous and cultured France? Why do they believe evident fantasies? Why do they believe them with such fervour that they are prepared to kill for them? And why do they hold their own lives so cheap?
This has nothing to do with responsibility for the killings, which rest squarely with the gunmen and those who aided, abetted and encouraged them. But when we start to look at why they thought they way they did, it ought to be clear that the responsibility for that is much wider.
We might look at the characteristics and training of imams in French mosques, at the responsibilities of parents and the care system involved in their upbringing, at the way radical Islamism functions as a nihilist death cult, with a particular appeal to alienated and psychologically disturbed youth. We might also look at the French prison system (two of the Paris gunmen were apparently further "radicalised" at the notorious Fleury-Mérogis prison south of Paris, though it didn't start there), at the way "ordinary" Muslim criminals are rehabilitated, at the culture of the banlieus (the often-desolate suburban zones that ring most large French cities), at youth unemployment, ghettoisation on housing estates, even mental health services. The list could go on and on, but we can't simply walk away from this and pretend that having people who are primarily and viscerally motivated by a hatred for the society they live in has nothing to do with the way that society works.
If we hadn't realised it before, the Charlie Hebdo and Hyper Casher attacks have revealed that violent jihadism, particularly in Western countries, is an extremely complex problem with many, many causes. There are religious and geopolitical aspects, of course, but also personal and psychological ones. Many of the jihadist terrorists who have perpetrated atrocities in Western countries seem to show signs of psychological disturbance. A 2002 court psychiatric report on the Hyper Casher gunman, Amédy Coulibaly, found an "immature and psychopathic personality" (and one thing jihadist terrorists seem to have in common is an enormous capacity for self-delusion). It could be that this, combined with a sense of racial and religious grievance, instruction from manipulative and "hate-filled" preachers (such as the Kouachi brothers' "guru" Faris Benyettou), connections with "ordinary" criminal gangs into drugs and petty theft, and a sense of nihilism and alienation to set against the perverted glamour of killing and dying for a cause, produces this murderous cocktail. Or it could be even more complicated than that.
It's not good enough to pin everything on mass immigration or the impossibility of different traditions living side by side. It's not good enough to put it all down to handful of "radical imams" and internet "hate preachers". Still less to common criminality. But neither is it good enough to blame it all on George Bush's invasion of Iraq and poverty and unemployment on bleak housing estates.
All these factors and more need to be carefully unpicked and dealt with, both ruthlessly and sensitively (a difficult but not impossible balancing act). Are we up to it? We will have to be.

LAGOS, Nigeria (AP) — Nigeria rumbled to a war footing Wednesday as soldiers and equipment moved into its northeastern states as part of an emergency military campaign against Islamic extremists waging a bloody insurgency.
In the last two days, Associated Press journalists and witnesses have seen armored tanks and soldiers moving through major roads and cities in Adamawa, Borno and Yobe states. Those states, crossing an arid region of some 155,000 square kilometers (60,000 square miles), are now under a state of emergency declared by President Goodluck Jonathan Tuesday night. The presidential order allows the military to arrest anyone at will and raid any building suspected of housing extremists.
Residents of the northeastern region greeted the new military campaign with faded hope and suspicion. Some prayed for an end of a violent guerrilla campaign that's killed more than 1,600 people since 2010, according to an AP count.
"Let's hope that there is light at the end of the tunnel; we have had enough killings and attacks and this created a tense situation in the land," said Amuga Keftin, who teaches at the Modibbo Adama University of Technology in Yola, the state capital of Adamawa state.
Others worried that regular life would halt entirely in the region, as people stay home out of fear of being targeted by security forces already accused of harassing, detaining and even killing civilians.
"We are waiting to see the arrival of the soldiers and it's our hope that unprovoked attacks, arrests and (abuses will) not be witnessed," Adamawa state resident Rabecca Musa said.
It was unclear the exact strength of the incoming military presence. A statement issued Wednesday by Brig. Gen. Chris Olukolade, a military spokesman, promised a "massive deployment of men and resources." However, Olukolade did not provide specifics and did not return calls for comment.
"The operational (planners) have also briefed participating troops appropriately on arrests, cordon and search — especially directed at apprehending those who have been violating sovereignty of Nigeria through terrorist training for insurgency and related activities," said Olukolade's statement.
In Maiduguri, the spiritual home of the Islamic extremist network known as Boko Haram, state officials said soldiers had been airlifted into the city. An AP journalist saw convoys of military vehicles on Monday night heading north into the rural expanse that borders Niger and Chad.
Nigeria's military also has jet fighters and attack helicopters, but it was not clear if those would be used in the assault.
Under the president's directive, soldiers have ultimate control over security matters in the three states, though his order allows civilian governments to remain in place. Such declarations are rare in Nigeria, a nation that abandoned a revolving door of coups and military rulers for democracy in 1999. Former President Olusegun Obasanjo placed two states under emergency rule during his tenure, throwing out elected leaders and installing caretaker governments.
This is Jonathan's second declaration of a state of emergency. In late December 2011, he declared emergencies in parts of four states, including Borno and Yobe. However, that declaration and an increased security presence failed to end the violence that is plaguing the nation.
The president's speech Tuesday offered the starkest vision of the ongoing violence, often downplayed by security forces and government officials due to political considerations. Jonathan described the attacks as a "rebellion," at one point describing how fighters had destroyed government buildings and "had taken women and children as hostages." He even acknowledged for the first time that Nigerian forces had lost control of some villages and towns in the northeast, something analysts and residents have warned has happened.
Nigeria's military even has said Islamic fighters now use anti-aircraft guns mounted on trucks to fight the nation's soldiers, likely outgunning the country's already overstretched security forces.
While the military prepares for its campaign, human rights activists remain concerned about the possibility of soldiers indiscriminately arresting and killing civilians. A recent military operation in a fishing village in Borno state along the shores of Lake Chad saw at least 187 people killed amid allegations that soldiers were responsible. While the military has denied repeatedly that it attacks and kills civilians, the country's armed forces have a history of committing such assaults.
"The path towards public safety cannot be an expansion of violations of the rights of Nigerians," Jibrin Ibrahim, the director of the Center for Democracy and Development, said in a statement. "We believe that the human rights of citizens should not be secondary to the provision of security."
In Washington, State Department spokesman Patrick Ventrell condemned Boko Haram's "campaign of terror" and echoed the need to deal with the "worsening cycle of violence in northern Nigeria."
But he said Nigeria must ensure that its security forces "protect civilians in any security response in a way that respects human rights and the rule of law." Recent allegations of abuses in Baga and elsewhere in the north need to be fully investigated, with those responsible for wrongdoing held accountable, he said.
"We have made clear to the Nigerian government that its heavy-handed response to insecurity in northern Nigeria and the failure to address human rights violations will potentially affect our ability to provide security assistance going forward," Ventrell told reporters. "We've made that message clear to the Nigerians."
Meanwhile, violence pitting different ethnic groups against each other continues, with clashes that kill dozens at a time. In addition, authorities acknowledged Tuesday that a single attack by an ethnic militia in Nasarawa state killed at least 46 police officers and 10 agents with the country's secret police.
Even Jonathan in his speech Tuesday named 11 states in Nigeria that have suffered in "the recent spate of terrorist activities and protracted security challenges." The president's tally identified nearly a third of the states in Nigeria, without him mentioning the eastern states suffering through a spate of kidnappings and those in the oil-rich southern delta where crude oil thefts go unstopped. His words signal the serious challenges now facing this country's weak, increasingly embattled central government.

ABC News, trying desperately to reinforce the impression that Barack Obama has a coherent foreign policy, attempted to defend Obama's indecision about his policy toward Syria and his unwillingness to give his term "red line" any real significance.
ABC News reports, "President Obama's red line on Syria isn't quite as straightforward as it's been made out to be. The president is facing a complicated decision on Syria."
The article explains Obama's wavering this way:
The use of chemical weapons, itself, was not exactly Obama's original "red line," as he laid it out during a news conference at the White House on Aug. 20, 2012. For purposes of expediency and practicality, media outlets have simplified the "red line" as this: If Syria deployed chemical weapons against its own people, it would have crossed a threshold with the White House.
But what Obama said was a little less clear.
"We have been very clear to the Assad regime, but also to other players on the ground, that a red line for us is we start seeing a whole bunch of chemical weapons moving around or being utilized," the president said a year ago last week. "That would change my calculus. That would change my equation."
It was also unclear what the consequences of crossing that "red line" would be.
Meanwhile, Doctors Without Borders announced that three hospitals in or near Damascus received 3,600 patients on Wednesday morning, 355 of whom died. Dr. Bart Janssens, the group's director of operations, said the deaths "strongly indicate mass exposure to a neurotoxic agent."
After noting that Obama is seeking approval from the U.N. for any intervention, the ABC piece goes on to give Obama every inch of wiggle room:
But despite the description of "mass exposure" to nerve gas, whether the "red line" has been crossed seemingly will depend on Obama's interpretation of how much gas was used and may also depend on whether Obama intended his "red line" to refer to multiple attacks and large-scale movement of weapons, not just a "whole bunch" of neurotoxins deployed at once.
