If you contract a bacterial infection it might be impossible to kill the invaders with the antibiotics available today
You and your family have probably heard that for years now. All over the world we are seeing a rise of bacteria that has developed ways to resist the harm drugs should cause them. At the same time as health care officials are trying to limit the spread of resistant bacteria, researchers are looking for alternatives to antibiotics. One of the researchers who has taken up the challenge is Ann-Beth Jonsson, professor in bacterial pathogenesis at Uppsala University in Sweden. "We might reach a situation where we cannot cure simple bacterial infections and then our own immune system has to take over, and we can see how cleverly the bacteria escape this defence. Therefore we must find new ways to attack the disease-spreading ability of the bacteria". She is developing a method that will prevent many types of bacteria from reaching our cells. So how would this new drug attack these bacteria? Imagine that you are in a kayak. You put your paddle onto a pier and use your muscle power, like a motor, to pull the kayak close to the pier to enter the new place. These bacteria have long hairlike structures, called pili, which are protruding from their cell surfaces. Like you use the paddle, the bacteria use their pili to adhere to the cell surface (the pier), drag themselves close with the help of motors (muscle power) and then enter the cell (the new place). By developing a drug that inhibits the motors of the pili the bacteria become paralysed and cannot enter the cell. We could therefore avoid many bacterial infections. While Jonsson and colleagues are trying to find a substance that can stop these motors which are present in many bacteria, another research group is instead aiming to make holes in the bacteria. The leader of this group is Martin Malmsten, professor in physical chemistry at Uppsala University in Sweden. His team has antimicrobial peptides in their arsenal to render the bacteria harmless. Antimicrobial peptides are small proteins which are made when proteins break down in the body, every time a bacterial infection arises. "This research is motivated by the increasing problems concerning resistance against traditional antibiotics. We believe that these antimicrobial peptides give rise to rather limited development of resistance in bacteria," Malmsten said. His team investigates how antimicrobial peptides bind to artificial cell membranes, equivalent either to the outer wall of a bacterial or human cell. To be useful, the antimicrobial peptides need to attack the bacterial cell membrane while leaving the human cell membrane intact. They have seen that antimicrobial peptides can differ between friend and enemy, and the team is now trying to find out what makes this possible. When this problem is resolved, the challenge of delivering the peptides into the body remains. "The intestine has an enzyme system and other processes with the purpose of breaking down proteins, for example meat or other things we eat, so the administration of antimicrobial peptides might be through the skin or mucous membranes. We are looking for different ways of enclosing the peptides in order to protect against, for example, degradation by enzymes." Jonsson and Malmsten still have many studies to conduct before their novel approaches for fighting bacterial infections might be available to patients.

Miller's game-winning grand slam leads USC-Aiken past Georgia College
MOUNT OLIVE, N.C. -- Josh Miller blasted a game-winning grand slam to hand No. 2-seed South Carolina-Aiken an 11-7 win against No. 5-seed Georgia College in the opening round of the 2013 NCAA Division II Southeast Regional on Thursday afternoon at Scarborough Field.
With the victory, USC Aiken moves on to face off against Coker in the winner's bracket of the NCAA Division II Southeast Regional.
USC Aiken (42-11) and Georgia College (33-18) commenced the bottom of the ninth tied at 7-7. Ryan Metzler kicked off the inning by singling through the left side. Tyler Moore then claimed a bunt single to place runners at first and second. Sean Miller shortly thereafter reached on a fielder's choice to load the bases for the Pacers with no outs.
After the first Pacer out of the inning, Josh Miller made sure the Pacers picked up the victory in the bottom of the ninth when he belted the grand slam to left field to garner the Pacers the dramatic four-run win. The dinger was the sixth of the year for Josh Miller.
The home run was the third of the day for the Pacers as Metzler and Ty Barkell both had home runs as well in the game.
USC Aiken opened its thrilling win over Georgia College by looking as if it would run away with the game. The Pacers buoyed by Metzler's two-run shot in the third inning scored the first six runs of the game to own a 6-0 lead after three innings.
Georgia College scored the next seven runs in the game before Barkell answered with a solo home run in the bottom of the seventh to tie the game at 7-7.
USC Aiken concluded its win over Georgia College with a 17-10 advantage in hits.
Josh Miller, Barkell and Moore led the Pacers in the game with three hits each. Josh Miller scored two runs to go along with his four RBIs.
Barkell was 3-for-5 with two RBIs and one run scored, while Moore was 3-for-5 with two runs scored.
Bill Gerstenslager and Metzler each had two hits for the Pacers in their win.
Steve Hazel and Clay Ardeeser each had two hits for Georgia College in its loss.
USC Aiken reliever Taylor Grover moved to a perfect 5-0 on the year by dealing a scoreless ninth. Grover, who was one of five pitchers utilized by USC Aiken in the game, fanned two in the top of the ninth.
Georgia College reliever Jordan Modine suffered his first loss of the year by surrendering the grand slam to Josh Miller. One of three Georgia College pitchers used on the day, Modine is now 3-1 on the year.

He wasn't an innovator, star or major figure, but pianist Charles Bell made some solid records in the early and mid-'60s. Influenced by the then emerging soul-jazz and funky schools, Bell's playing was vibrant, often exciting and full of blues licks, gospel phrases and inflections, plus some bop tinges. He called his first combo a contemporary jazz quartet, and their menu included vamp numbers, standards and originals. His trio albums were more dense, and emphasized his harmonic abilities.

Broken or not?
Science isn't broken is a marvelous article on science, careless data interpretation, and the cult of publishing only significant results.
In the last two nibbles on this site I linked to articles that criticized the practice of "p-hacking" and illustrated the "conformation bias (/node/2108)" that – in combination – lead to innumerable bogus scientific research papers and an increasing number of serious scientific outlets that start to change their review and publication policies.


text: PEKING — Prince Norodom Sihanouk is fed up with the communist Khmer Rouge, partners in a Cambodian coalition fighting a Vietnamese occupation army. His warning: If the Khmer Rouge kill one more of his followers he will ''irrevocably'' quit the resistance coalition. Reports say that between Feb. 16 and June 10, Khmer Rouge guerrillas killed 38 of Sihanouk's followers, wounded 32 and seized or destroyed their weapons. Sihanouk, who lives in Peking, said Sunday the attacks were not the first in the ''cruel and bloody history'' of the Khmer Rouge.

Four Moore Ranch
Bluff Dale, Texas Get Directions
Phone: (254) 968-7933
We are small but long time breeders. Our ranch is 100 acres of hardwoods and grasses near Stephenville, Texas. There are lots of deer, turkey, dove, and beavers. The horses stay in stalls at night with pasture turnouts during the day. So the horses are handled and /or groomed daily. We usually have around ten to twelve horses on the ranch. The horses are trained commensurate with their ages. We have chosen stallions to breed our mares that are both beautiful and athletic. It is important as a small breeder that horses can do well in the halter arena and then perform later.

I used to pine for the coming of spring, with its trillium, and violets, and spring cress, and toothwort. From the depths of the winter with its colorless lull, I would envision the spring ephemerals and believe these spring beauties were the most magnificent of all.
Now I know, as I remember each year after August, that it is the asters of September that hold the crown. I take that back. It is not just the asters, it is late summer wildflowers in general that deserve the title of the most vibrant visions across the landscape. The goldenrods, asters, Joe Pye, ironweed, thistles. All of these create a tapestry of color on the September hills.
Today I was out on the Cross Country Trail at Virginia Kendall (Cuyahoga Valley National Park). Dozens of wild flowers lined the trail, both in the forested and field sections of the trail. September is the perfect time to see white snake root among other things. White berries weigh down the slender branches of gray dogwood shrubs. Berries abound on non-native Russian Olives, Hawthorns, Doll's Eye, and many other plants.
After reading naturalist William Hudson's "Tribute to Late Bloomers", and getting out to explore Nature in the September sunshine, I think you'll agree that the Asters and wildflowers of September are a sight we should always remember.

Michael Valgren crashed out badly with 65 km to go at the Flèche Wallonne.
In the fall, the Astana rider hit his head and face, and got some brushes to the right arm and leg. Immediately after the crash Valgren was sent to the hospital of the city of Huy for detailed medical research. A computer tomography has been held as well as a few stitches have been applied. Fortunately, the research did not reveal any fracture or other serious injuries.
"Unfortunately, this heavy crash happened and it had a big impact over team's strategy in the race. We hope, Michael will get well soon. We were lucky, he did not get too serious consequences after this fall. But, anyway, it was not the only bad luck for us in this race", explained Lars Michaelsen.
Looks like bad road surface caused the crash for @MichaelValgren. Katusha rider also almost fell over same spot #FlecheWallonne pic.twitter.com/b9ZHTXzYwX

Thibodeau keeping Bulls on Anthony's radar
Anyone who has sat near Bulls coach Tom Thibodeau during a game or even heard his baritone voice bellowing through the television knows this -- he's insanely competitive.
And Thibodeau wants enough talent on his squad to make a run at an NBA championship. So he has been working hard on free-agent target Carmelo Anthony.
Thibodeau has played a significant role in keeping Anthony interested in the Bulls, according to a league source. As of Thursday evening, the Bulls were trying to figure out what it would take to close the deal.
If Anthony committed to playing for the Bulls next season, they could begin talking to the Knicks about sign-and-trade scenarios. Otherwise, the Bulls have the means to clear about $18 million in cap room by using the amnesty provision on Carlos Boozer and trading away other players for draft picks.
The Bulls have pushed the idea they can give Anthony the best chance to compete for an NBA title right away. Thibodeau and the Bulls envision a lineup of Anthony, Derrick Rose, Joakim Noah, Taj Gibson and either Jimmy Butler or rookie Doug McDermott.
Of course, nine days have passed since Anthony visited Chicago, so there's no telling how or when this will play out. The NBA world continues to wait for decisions from both Anthony and LeBron James.
A recent report suggested Anthony would announce Thursday he was staying in New York, and that didn't happen. The Knicks can give Anthony the most money, a maximum contract worth $129 million over five years. The most he can get by joining another team is four years and $97 million. Anthony also visited Houston, Dallas and the Los Angeles Lakers last week.
Knicks president Phil Jackson spoke to reporters Thursday in Las Vegas, where the summer league is about to begin. Jackson said the Knicks have five different contract offers on the table. He expressed confidence that Anthony will stay in New York but said he hasn't heard from the high-scoring forward since a July 3 meeting in Los Angeles.
"I expected (an answer) yesterday and the day before yesterday. We're waiting," Jackson said, according to The New York Daily News. "I felt really good about my conversation with Carmelo. We really struck a chord. The two of us feel really passionately about what we're trying to get accomplished."
The Bulls and Knicks are both pursuing Lakers free-agent forward Pau Gasol, a player Jackson coached in Los Angeles. Unless the Knicks can unload high-salaried players, they can offer only the taxpayer midlevel exception of $3.3 million.
The Bulls could offer far more than that if they miss out on Anthony. They could conceivably work a sign-and-trade with New York to get Anthony and use the full midlevel of $5.3 million to try to land Gasol, but that scenario is a long way from reality.
Anthony and James have done a nice job of dominating the national headlines. They're also holding up business around the league. The Bulls are watching some of their secondary targets sign contracts, while James' indecision surely has Miami teammate Chris Bosh wondering if he should accept a reported offer from Houston.

max-i-mum (m-k-se-mem) noun
plural max-i-mums or max-i-ma (-me)
Abbr. max.
1. a. The greatest possible quantity or degree. b. The greatest quantity or degree reached or recorded; the upper limit of variation. c. The time or period during which the highest point or degree is attained.
2. An upper limit permitted by law or other authority.
3. Astronomy. a. The moment when a variable star is most brilliant. b. The magnitude of the star at such a moment.
4. Mathematics. a. The greatest value assumed by a function over a given interval. b. The largest number in a set.
Abbr. max.
1. Having or being the greatest quantity or the highest degree that has been or can be attained: maximum temperature.
2. Of, relating to, or making up a maximum: a maximum number in a series.
[Latin, from neuter of maximus, greatest.]
thresh-old (thr-sh-old-, -hold-) noun
1. A piece of wood or stone placed beneath a door; a doorsill.
2. An entrance or a doorway.
3. The place or point of beginning; the outset.
4. A point separating conditions that will produce a given effect from conditions of a higher or lower degree that will not produce the effect, as the intensity below which a stimulus is of sufficient strength to produce sensation or elicit a response: a low threshold of pain.
[Middle English thresshold, from Old English therscold, threscold.]
Word History: Perhaps the tradition of carrying the bride over the threshold is dying out, but knowledge of the custom persists, leading one to wonder about the -hold or the thresh- in the word threshold. Scholars are still wondering about the last part of the word, but the thresh- can be explained. It is related to the word thresh, which refers to an agricultural process. This process of beating the stems and husks of grain or cereal plants to separate the grain or seeds from the straw was at one time done with the feet of oxen or human beings. Thus, the Germanic word -therskan, or by the switching of sounds called metathesis, -threskan, meant "thresh" and "tread." This association with the feet is probably retained in Old English therscold or threscold (Modern English threshold), "sill of a door (over which one treads)."

All the Comforts of a Log Home in a Pint Size Getaway Shed
This Cedar Shed is the perfect tiny log cabin to use for a variety of things from a backyard garden shed to an artist studio, or writers retreat. You are only limited by your imagination on what you can do. The charming log shed is made of cedar with a standard wood door, metal roof, windows and electrical outlets. You can select the log cabin shed size that you need and prefer. You even get the option of a shingle roof if requested.
On the Handi House site, you will find a wide variety of log cabin designs from a lofted barn, cedar shed, screen room, vinyl sided building, big box Eve and greenhouse log cabin. You will also find log cabins in playhouse styles, customized log houses, double-wide units, and log storage buildings. These tiny log sheds are a great way to get the additional space that you might need around the house. The quality cedar designs are a great way to add some extra space in an affordable and durable log cabin style that will look good wherever they go.
The Handi House cedar log sheds are made at the company's manufacturing facility in Swainsboro, Georgia. They are centrally located so they can distribute the log cabins throughout the Southeast area of the country. Handi House has three different plants on their site in which each produces a different type of log building that allows them to offer the best variety of log sheds to help meet your needs. All the log units are either wood structures made with southern yellow pine that allow them to meet the higher wind zones or their steel stud structures that meet both the 150 mph wind zones required in certain coastal regions of Florida.
With both the wood and steel framing of Handi House log buildings, they can adjust or add additional bracing that is needed for the different wind zones, to meet the engineering requirements of the throughout Florida and other southern states. So you know when you get your log sheds that they will be able to withstand the elements. They also construct their log buildings with a variety of trim packages that enhance the appeal value and aesthetic of each unit. As each log shed is passed through each phase of construction, there are specific inspections that are required to pass the unit to the final phase for a complete pass. After the final inspection, your storage building is ready for shipment to one of their Handi House dealers. Handi House log buildings have been around for almost 50 years, so you know they are reliable and have a reputation to match.
Log homes, log cabins, and log sheds are a great way to add character and space to your existing log home design. With lots of log shed designs, sizes and styles to choose from, some with front porches, others without you will be happy you decided to add some more space. Imagine having a charming barn style shed in your backyard to store all your tools and backyard stuff. Or maybe you've been thinking about having a greenhouse space, where you can start some seedlings in the spring, and extend your growing season, with vegetables and flowers throughout the year. Having a small log shed space in your yard is a great way to destress and enjoy something you love, in a space that is separate from the main house. Who knows you might even love to start a small business space right in your backyard with a tiny log shed used as a backyard office or workspace, the possibilities are endless.

Agenda and Minutes of Feb. 1 meeting approved.
Regarding upcoming elections for NBLF offices, Jackie suggested that all faculty, not just tenured faculty, be eligible for faculty officers. Group agreed that the sub-chairs were the only appropriate positions available to non-tenured faculty; by-laws state that other offices are to be filled by 'tenured members'. She also urged everyone to get their travel requests and receipts to Charlene as soon as possible – even for travel completed earlier in the year. Remember that per diem meals do not require receipts.
Integration going much smoother now that there is an oversight team. The RFP for the Discovery layer is out and the decision to purchase will be made by May 2. Everyone should block out time between April 15 and May 1 to study the products and comment. The discovery layer and link resolver will likely be the product of the same vendor as each requires a knowledge base unique to a vendor and we don't want to maintain two knowledge bases.
All NBL faculty searches are posted and in progress. Rutgers joined Coursera along with 28 other institutions; Rutgers will initially offer three courses.
Discussion originally described in the Agenda as "Please come prepared with job description ideas and new skills that will be required in the future. If possible, investigate innovative positions you have found and talk to the ones holding them. Also start thinking out-of-the-box for ways we can work as liaisons in a team-based environment. Think of new models to support research services and student learning. The Planning and Coordinating Committee has started a similar discussion." Melissa organized this general discussion around two priorities : the two positions that are vacant right now, Humanities Librarian and SCI Librarian; and areas for future development.
Parts of these two positions have already been attached to other librarians: Gay studies, Journalism and Media, Information Science. Melissa suggested that language skills may be best handled in a team environment, rather than focused on as the main component of a particular position. There was general agreement on a functional approach to our position descriptions; one that preferred (instead of required) language and subject expertise we might lack at the time, perhaps assigned according to expertise and interest. There is a growing tendency in academia to organize around multidisciplinary activities that we would like to embrace. We will have a future meeting dedicated to how we can move to team based action through shared funds and other practical methods.
In conclusion, group agreed to pursue positions titled Humanities Digital Librarian, as there is nothing like that in NBLF right now, and Undergraduate Experience Librarian responsible for the SCI Communnications program, McNair, Aresty, etc.
Looking ahead these positions were suggested: Graduate Experience, Distance Education, GIS/Map, second Engineering. Question: should we focus on departments because of their size, the funding they provide, the number of faculty, or?

Q: What is the Kingdom of Edan?
A: The Kingdom of Edan is a serious attempt to recreate a new kind of nation, one made up of people all over the world united in their dedication to a just society, economy, and government.
Q: What does 'a new kind of nation' mean?
A: Edan is a not like, say, Germany, a nation-state. Instead it is a Non-Territorial Nation; a country defined by its people, its laws, and its culture, not by lines on a map. This is similar to the Roma, the Baluch, and other, similar, groups.
Q: How do you pronounce 'Edan'?
A: It rhymes with 'We Can'.
Q: What does 'Edan' mean?
A: It is a Gaelic word that means 'fire'; it was picked to recall the importance of the Holy Spirit.
Q: Why do you call Edan a 'micronation'?
A: The word 'micronation' means 'a nation with a small population, small or no territory, or both'. Edan obviously fits this definition.
Q: I'm not Catholic, can I still join Edan?
A: Certainly. While the core principles of justice are inherently Catholic, anyone dedicated to building a better world can join Edan.
Q: Why is Edan a constitutional monarchy?
A: An hereditary monarchy with strict limits over the King's power is the most stable form of government over the long term. Since Edan is focused on stability and ethics, this was an obvious decision..
Q: Elsewhere you mention something about "feudal technocratic distributism", what's that?
A: Feudal technocratic distributism is the political-economic theory endorsed by the Kingdom. Feudal in that there is an explicit, not implicit, social contract between person and government. Technocratic in that meritocratic concepts are key to the development ofthe use of technology. Distributist in that it focuses on just actions in society, including economics..
Q: Are you a secessionist or terrorist group?
A: No, certainly not. When the time comes we will seek a peaceful way of acquiring sovereign territory. Another thing to remember, we are not a utopia. There is no perfect world, we just hope for one that's somewhat better.
Q: Why do you even want to make a new country?
A: Because there is no longer an existing country that follows consistent morals or sustainable economic systems.
Q: This is a role-playing pretend thing, right?
A: Wrong. This is a purely serious endeavor with goals, time lines, and dedicated people behind it.
Q: Sounds great! How do I join?
A: You must be over the age of 18 years, you must swear an oath, and you must fill out a valid census. At this point in time, the census is merely telling us your real name and some way of contacting you.
Q: Do I have to renounce my existing citizenship to join?
A: No, for a number of reasons. If your birth nation or nation of residence accepts double citizenships then so much the better, but even if it is strict about loyalties you can still join.
Q: Do I have to renounce my other micronational citizenship to join?
A: We would prefer that you at the very least avoid holding titles and positions of power in other micronations, but we will let you get away with it if you have a good reason.
Q: What will I do as a citizen?
A: Citizens can do everything from continue to develop theory to work on a number of projects for the kingdom. .
Q: If you succeed and become a sovereign nation, will I have to live there?
A: We would really like you too, but you can live abroad if you like. The exact legal requirements of citizens living abroad have yet to be determined.
Q: Can I see your constitution?
A: Sure! Just check it's page on this very website.
Q: How does your government work?
A: Check the constitution. For any particular questions, please visit the forums.
Q: What's your government doing?
A: Well, we currently don't have enough citizens to begin the democratic element of the government, and you could count our nobles on 1 hand. So we are currently searching for more loyal citizens. In the near future we will begin providing basic infrastructure services to our citizens.
For any other questions, please visit the forums.

WARSAW (Reuters) - Poland's Prime Minister Donald Tusk said on Tuesday that the pace at which NATO increases its military presence in Poland was unsatisfactory.
"We are gaining something step by step, but the pace of NATO increasing its military presence for sure could be faster. You remember the endless debates about the missile shield, with mediocre results," Tusk told a press conference.
"This is a unsatisfactory result for us," he said, commenting on earlier statements by Polish foreign minister, who said he would be fully satisfied if NATO located two heavy brigades in Poland.
"We will act to increase NATO military forces in Poland, but we are aware that some time will pass before it becomes a fact," Tusk said.

We all start the new year with an ambitious resolution. The most common desire of all is to shed some pounds. For several weeks, we'll try to consume a healthier diet and be more active. But in the end, we slowly return to our lifestyle, and when we get on the scale, the results are disappointing. Will the fat binders help you lose weight in 2017?
There are very few weight loss pills as effective as Proactol Plus. In fact, this natural recipe for slimming was voted by more than 95% of the consumers as the no. 1 fat binder on the market.
Every year, millions of people's resolution is to lose weight and improve their overall well-being with a balanced, healthier lifestyle. Unfortunately, many of them will end up trying extreme weight loss programs that are downright jeopardizing their health. Those weight loss diets that claim you will lose 4 to 7 kilograms in a week deprive your body from essential nutrients and you might get hospitalized because of them. Here are some important facts about extreme diets and why you should never fall prey to them.
Search on the web for weight loss programs and you will receive millions of results. They all claim to assist you lose weight in a healthy, natural and safe way – but how many of them will truly work? Consult your doctor and you will learn that fast weight loss plans do not work and if they are efficient, they can harm your health. Here are some recommendations that you should consider if you want to shed a few pounds without risking your well-being.
Overweight people concerned about their weight and health condition have many weight loss options available. Although the holy grail of weight loss consists in following a healthy lifestyle, with regular exercise and balanced diet, some people still believe these days that starving or just ingesting a pill will help them burn the extra fat. Most popular diets are often considered fad diets and most of them claim fast weight loss, but they sound too good to be true and can be downright dangerous for the health of the consumers.
Many people in the world struggle with the extra kilograms and they would like to lose weight miraculously and extremely fast without putting their health at risk. Various diets, routines, supplements and prescribed drugs can help them lose weight, but the results will not appear as quickly as they would like. These people who want to lose weight to improve their appearance rather than their health can opt for liposuction, the cosmetic surgery that will help them remove the unwanted body fat.
Despite of what most people believe, obesity is not just a cosmetic concern. Obesity is a complex disorder that involves an excessive amount of body fat and which enhances the risk of health diseases and disorders such as high blood pressure, diabetes and heart disease. Because of these risks, it is mandatory to lose weight even if you do not feel any sings of sickness now. Lifestyle changes and dieting are necessary, but you can ask the advice of your doctor if you think that you cannot deal with your problem on your own.
Being overweight is not the result of a single factor. Overeating, inactive lifestyle, metabolism issues, hormones, ageing, body toxins and genes can be blamed when extra fat accumulates. But basically, weight gain appears when the patient eats more calories than he manages to burn. Numerous supplements and prescribed drugs can help patients lose weight, but they should keep in mind that following a balanced diet and having a healthier lifestyle are mandatory for a healthy weight loss.
Based on numerous nutritionists and body-builders, accelerating the metabolism with exercise is the holy grail of weight watchers. The metabolic rate and the rate how fast the body burns the calories can be influenced by numerous different factors, from diet, habits and age to genes, lifestyle and many others. As we get older, and especially after the age of 40s, our metabolism slows down and weight problems will start being noticed. But regardless of your genes, age and gender, you can accelerate metabolism with exercise.
Because a significant percentage of population is overweight and weight loss diets are often too restrictive or inefficient, there are numerous products and supplements developed to support people lose weight effortlessly and in a healthy way. Although most of the weight loss supplements available claim to be highly efficient, safe and secure for the health of the consumers, the truth can be very disappointing. Yet some dietary products can indeed assist you to lose weight in a natural, efficient and healthy way, without putting your health at risk.
Although there are numerous weight loss plans and diets available, most of them will keep you hungry and unsatisfied and your body will be deprived of the nutrients you need in order to stay fit and healthy. But losing weight does not have to be a difficult task. You can burn the calories in a safe and healthy way, by just eating some superfoods that will stimulate the weight loss process. Here are the best foods that will nourish your body and support you to shed pounds in a natural, healthy and safe way.
Establish your goal and seek for the support of your family and friends. Opt for healthy foods, consume plenty of fruits, legumes and veggies that are rich in nutrients and improve your metabolism and health
Anyone with a few extra kilos has searched at least once for a miracle pill that will take away the extra fat effortlessly. After trying various weight loss pills claiming to melt the fat miraculously, the consumers convinced themselves that losing weight is not likely to occur without some lifestyle changes and a little effort. However, you can stimulate the weight loss process in a natural and healthy way by taking Proactol Plus, this powerful fat binder that accelerates the metabolic rate and suppresses the appetite in a safe and risk-free manner.
Over 20 million Americans suffer from thyroid disorders, as shown in statistics. About half of them are not even diagnosed and they do not follow a proper treatment to regain their health state. Although hypothyroidism is quite common, it does not mean that people should get used to the unpleasant symptoms and just let it be. Thyroid gland influences the function of the entire system and when this gland stops working properly, numerous health issues will occur and patients will gain extra kilos.

Saint Augustine's extends CIAA streak
Falcons blow by field, claim 15th consecutive conference crown
PETERSBURG, Va. -- Top-ranked Saint Augustine's coasted to a victory at the CIAA Championships on Saturday afternoon at Rogers Stadium on the campus of Virginia State.
The Falcons claimed their 15th consecutive league crown and 29th title in the last 30 CIAA Championship meets under legendary head coach George Williams by a lopsided score. They compiled 216 points to easily defeat the rest of the men's field. Virginia State was second with 88 points and Johnson C. Smith University was third with 84 points.
The outcome was never in doubt once the championship meet started. The Falcons built a 15-point lead after four events Friday and steadily increased the margin Saturday after each event. The only question was how much the Falcons would win by.
The depth and talent of the Falcons were simply too much to overcome. They took the top three places in the 800-meter run, the 110-meter hurdles and the high jump, and had two of the top three finishers in the 400-meter hurdles, the 100-meter dash and the 400-meter dash.
DeJon Wilkinson added a victory in the triple jump to go along with his long jump win on Friday. Other winners for the Falcons on Saturday included Ramaan Ansley (100-meter dash), Marcelis Lynch (800-meter run) and Jason Boyd (110-meter hurdles). The Falcons won the 4x100-meter and 4x400-meter relays. Christopher Copeland captured the high jump Friday. Boyd is No. 3 in the nation in the 110 hurdles, and Copeland is No. 4 in Division II in the high jump.
Other men's winners were Daniel Ross of Virginia State (400-meter hurdles), Hildrew McNair of Virginia State (pole vault), Watson of Johnson C. Smith (shot put), Ahmad Garrison of Livingstone (discus) and Bryan Aycoth of Livingstone (javelin).

Suggestions For Using PEpods
- Some centres adopt a fairly casual approach. Students download the PEpodsTM from the school/college network/website to their IPods or other MP3 players and use them as they choose – on the bus, at the gym, while subbathing, in bed – anywhere!
- Other centres adopt a more controlled approach and 'release' the PEpodsTM as sections of the specification are taught
- Some teachers ask students to listen to a particular PEpodsTM to prepare for the next lesson or to re-cap one that has just been taught
- Students can listen to a PEpodsTM to catch up if a lesson has been missed
- PEpodsTM can be used throughout the year – not just at test and exam time.
We really do hope that your department and your students find the PEpodsTM stimulating and engaging and that they become an integral part of your programme as a valuable supplementary learning tool.

The X Factor Australia – Why Are We Not Getting Local Talent?
Mel B aka Scary Spice is now strongly rumoured to have signed on for the Australia version of The X Factor. She will replace Kyle Sandilands. This will make it two english judges on the show, which to me shows a cultural cringe.
One theory could be that Simon Cowell wants to control who is cast, however how are we expected to get behind the local talent on the show if no one has any faith in the local talent already in the industry?
The panel if the rumours are correct will consist of Guy Sebastian, Natalie Bassingthwaite, Ronan Keating and Mel B. Mel B when she mentored the singers on one of the shows last year was fine but not that memorable.
Do the big stars pull bigger ratings? Personally I like to have a bit of undiscovered talent on the show. Remember when Dicko hit our screens on Australian Idol and was embraced and loved by the viewing audience.
There must be one local music industry person who has the charisma to do the role. A behind the scenes guy or girl. I know I constantly suggest Roger Davies, P!nk's Australia manager, but he has been around a long time and would give a different perspective.
What about some male or female stars in music? Some examples of people I would at least audition are Simon Day from Rat Cat, Tim Freedman from The Whitlams, Chrissie Amphlett now she would definitely rock it. Or because she is over 50 has she hit some magically can't be on TV barrier?
What do you guys think? The TV industry is so small here why not at least try give the locals a crack at it.
The Sunday Telegraph announced Mel B will start filming after the birth of her third child.

I gotta be honest and I love Mel B she is hilarious and will tell people up front if they suck and they need someone who will. Her reality show is one of my favourites. But I like your suggestions also as long as Altiyan Childs stays away from the show I will be a very happy camper They should erase him like they did Matt Newton
- 2 Mia { 04.24.11 at 1:05 pm }
As you suggested with the Dicko example, I would like to see a Sony A & R/manager type, or a record producer on the panel. It's all fine and well to have a 'nannas favourite' like Ronan gushing that some kid is "world class", but we really need someone who will tell it like it really is/how it has to be in the cut-throat music industry.
Mel B might have been a part of a hugely successful record company marketing exercise/cash cow/group, but the woman couldn't carry a tune in a bucket. Her own musical credentials are basically non existent. She can certainly teach the contestants how to sustain a career with little talent by publicity seeking alone though.

I don't watch this kind of stuff, but totally agree with –
'This will make it two english judges on the show, which to me shows a cultural cringe.', and '… however how are we expected to get behind the local talent on the show if no one has any faith in the local talent already in the industry?'
- 4 Karla { 04.25.11 at 6:19 am }
I don't think the producers could win either way. If they opted for a new homegrown talent the press would have moaned that they need someone well known to bring in viewers. It seems that the Telegraph are going to try their hardest to "kill" the show before it even starts, just like last year then.
- 5 Jo { 04.25.11 at 8:34 pm }
So who is this second English judge? Last I checked, Nat & Guy were Australian, and Ronan was Irish.
- 6 Juani { 04.27.11 at 5:42 am }
I think they should choose Renee Gayer, she's got the experience she knows how to sing, she knows what the industry's like…
- 8 Mel B Confirmed For The X Factor Australia | reality ravings { 04.27.11 at 10:11 am }
[…] In what was revealed in the Sunday papers Mel B will be a judge on The X Factor Australia. Here are my thoughts on that in a previous blog post on why we should use local talent. […]
- 9 Joan { 04.27.11 at 3:37 pm }
"I should have said judges from the UK…"
lol, you did it again RR. Ireland is not part of the UK.

True...True...I found out that some aspecs of our company's service are going to India. Not a popular decision, let me tell you. Look at the whole Dell business tech support fiasco! I have expiereinced that first hand many times. Nice people, but it was not a good setup.
Thats the way I am, credit card free for most my mods.I do have a small CC with USAA, but its nothing major to do any damage with, so Ill have to wait until I get paid. Who did you talk to when you ordered through ND? Still, $560 and change isnt all that bad for such a great looking product. Let us know what they all look like when you get them in.
A fellow USAA'er, cool. If I may ask how do you affiliate with them?
Ditto, my dad was in the Navy. They are great if you need to make a claim and if you have no claims you get a refund each year if they make a profit, which is great.

Andrew Sullivan cannot have an easy life. A Catholic gay man who is also HIV positive, his political views have led him to attach himself to a party, a movement and a church that believe him to be practicing an abomination. Influential Republican power-brokers blame America's sexual tolerance for the attacks of 9/11. The military he reveres is kicking gays out at a rate unseen since the presidency of Ronald Reagan–another Sullivan hero. And his church offers a warmer embrace for pedophile priests than for honest homosexuals.
Sullivan is best known as a kind of all-purpose controversy magnet. He posed for a Gap ad; he posted a lurid online advertisement for unprotected sex; and he briefly accepted $7,500 in paid website advertising from a pharmaceutical industry trade association whose products he regularly praises, before returning it. During his stormy editorship of The New Republic, he opened its pages to the lunatic ravings of Camille Paglia, the racist pseudoscience of Charles Murray and the libelous fantasies of Stephen Glass. Sullivan has, moreover, been the target of much gay ire over the conservative content of his writings in The New York Times Magazine, where its editors inexplicably allowed him–slyly but effectively–to out a whole host of allegedly gay Democratic politicians, including Clinton Cabinet members, along with liberal talk-show host Rosie O'Donnell.
Now Sullivan has launched a career in the brave new world of "blogging," or vanity websites. And while his site arouses a certain gruesome car-wreck fascination, it serves primarily as a reminder to writers of why we need editors. Andrewsullivan.com sets a standard for narcissistic egocentricity that makes Henry Kissinger look like St. Francis of Assisi. Readers are informed, for instance, that Andy's toilet recently overflowed; that he had a rollicking dinner chez Hitchens; that he might have seen Tina Brown across a hotel lobby, but he's not sure; and that, in separate, apparently unrelated incidents, he had a nightmare and ate a bad tuna-fish sandwich that upset his tummy, requiring many "stomach evacuations."
Beyond the confines of his bathroom, Sullivan's singular obsession appears to be the crushing of any hint of democratic debate about the war. His campaign began with a now notorious London Times missive warning his fellow patriots: "The decadent left in its enclaves on the coasts…may well mount…a fifth column." Called upon to defend this vile slander of inhabitants of the very city that suffered the attack, Sullivan named four writers who, he determined, "were more concerned with what they see as the evil of American power than the evil of terrorism, that their first response was to blame America." Among the myriad problems with this answer was the fact that at least one of the four–me, as it happens–supported the war and much of the patriotic reaction the attacks inspired.

I downloaded the new NetOp firewall (it runs behind Windows) but havn't installed it yet.

In a workplace that used to run like a well oiled machine why have things changed so much for the worst. Every day I go into work with a fresh mind that things will be better than the last day. This is not always the case. It is true that it depends on who you work with, however this should not be so as no matter who you work with you should feel that your patients are safe and things will get done as that is what people go to work to do (or should go to work to do!).
aricept retail price Whilst I was a student I was most definitely spoilt and that includes the ward that I am currently on, which was also my first ever placement as a student nurse. Now that I am a staff nurse things seemed to have changed drastically. For the past two years it has been a constant battle of wills to get the smallest of jobs done by people who are here to 'help'.
My understanding of a nursing assistant is not a general dogs body to do all the things the nurses don't want to do. We are not afforded with such a luxury of picking and choosing the tasks we do during a shift. And my point of this is why should Healthcare Assistants (some not all!) have such a luxury whilst being paid almost a similar wage to qualified members of staff (some of them) and doing almost 20% of the work. Please do not mistake this as a health care assistant bashing session as it is not all HCA's that let the side down.
I currently work with a lovely bunch of people (some not all!) and those that pull their weight are most definitely worth that and more in gold. Those that do not however really do make things difficult by starting petty arguments which are picked up by management and over inflated into something that is so insignificant that the time wasted on it could potentially be used for quality patient care.
One saying that I find myself constantly repeating is 'I would never ask any person to do something that I am not willing to do myself' I stand by this statement vehemently. My reasoning behind this is because the only reason I will ask someone else to do something is because I am busy doing something else at the current time and the job that I am requesting to be done cannot wait.
Why is it so difficult to get people to do the job they are paid to do? Why do people always want more for doing less? And WHY does it seem that those that word hard never get recognized but those who moan and groan and do the bare minimum surf to the top with ease.
This post is not about lack of recognition as I know what I do and I know I do it well. It is about those that DO NOT 'DO' or work collaboratively as a team and the managers that support such a backwards system.
The NHS is full of policies and procedures, some of which protect those who do so little. It really is time for a change and this change needs to happen soon. That is unless they want nurses to walk away from jobs they truly love because those that only work because it is 'money in the bank' are taking away what it means to care.
Most days nurses are bashed in the press as 'uncaring, without compassion, lazy' does anyone ever think to write about the support from above or below that they receive? How about an article titled 'Healthcare buy Mysoline (Primidone) ASSISTants – there is a hint in the job title!' where do i buy proscar

Speech Writing Services
Speech writing is one of the types of academic writing. Writing a speech is not an easy task. Speech writing has the proper requirements that are similar to writing an essay. It is recommended to avoid using the words that are difficult to pronounce or the meanings of which are not clear enough to the speaker. Students involved in speech writing should follow the number of requirements. First, it is necessary to assess the time taken by the speech. If a student does not have a time limit, he/she should keep the speech brief and, at the same time, informative. Secondly, students should be aware of the key characteristics of the audience. It is necessary to shape the tone of the speech in order to attract the audience's attention. Thirdly, students should begin their speech with an effective introduction that provides the major facts about the speaker, the purpose of the speech and the issues that will be presented to the audience. Besides, it is crucial to inform the audience regarding the length of the speech. It is recommended to include an interesting joke or an anecdote in order to grab the audience's attention. Fourthly, students should be ready to organize the required information into three –five major points, placing emphasis on the importance and effectiveness of these points. Fifthly, students may avoid the use of unimportant points. It would be better to start the speech with the most important point, moving the speech to less important and finally, returning to the most important points. Sixthly, students should add the proper information to support each of the points from the list. It is possible to add statistical data, significant facts, useful examples, amazing anecdotes, and important quotations. Seventhly, it is necessary to link the introduction, body and conclusion sections together with the most suitable smooth transitions. Finally, students should write an effective conclusion that will provide a summary of the key points, restating the main purpose of the speech. Students should work hard to leave the audience with a long-lasting positive impression.

Go follow @elleluna on instagram. She created this movement and I am joining so I can get more creative with what I do.
I choose the black out poetry project because I tend to abandon things after a few days and sharing it on here will force me to blog! I am just a big ball of procrastination and forgetfullness.
Here is the last black out poetry I worked on today and I will remind myself to only do one a day to pace myself and also not feel as overwhelmed so if I miss a day, I can easily catch up.
Entry and exit
No hurry
He listened
Take care
Hope you all gained a little inspiration and let me know of you will join me in this creatove endeavor.
Stay blessed, Vanessa.

Rupert Christiansen reviews The Mikado at the Gielgud Theatre
When, if ever, did two productions of the same piece open simultaneously in the West End?
That's what has happened this week to The Mikado, as English National Opera's umpteenth revival of Jonathan Miller's wacky Grand Hotel updating runs head-to-head with Carl Rosa Opera Company's traditional version - a tribute to the resilience of this marvellous G?&?S operetta which, in its 130-year existence, has never ceased to captivate audiences all over the world.
Carl Rosa's staging - in appropriately Pooh-Bah style, both produced and directed by Peter Mulloy - claims to follow Gilbert's original prompt book and reproduces the elaborately pretty designs used at the 1885 première (and also seen in Topsy-turvy, Mike Leigh's great film about the making of The Mikado).
Mulloy has in fact taken several small and pardonable liberties in the interests of keeping the show buoyant: most of them are in good taste, though I'm not sure that a stickler like Gilbert would have approved of the business behind a transparent gauze during the overture.
What was truly and refreshingly authentic about the performance, however, was its scale and honesty. In a medium-sized theatre, with a proper pit orchestra, crisply conducted by Martin Handley, there was no need for any amplification, and the words came across with a refreshing directness and naturalness. If only modern musicals would follow suit.
Star of the occasion was Nichola McAuliffe, who played the lovelorn and deluded spinster Katisha for Joyce Grenfellian pathos rather than Edith Evansesque monstrosity, making something subtly touching out of "Hearts do not break" and her pride in her exquisite shoulder blade. What a rarely talented actress she is - and a competent singer, too.
She was strongly flanked by an urbane Alistair McGowan, who stopped the show with his risqué version of the Mikado's song, and Eric Roberts, an unusually endearing Ko-Ko whose little list targeted the horrors of Derek Conway, the Olympics, boy bands and BlackBerries.
Andrew Rees's Nanki-Poo and Bruce Graham's Pooh-Bah were rather characterless in comparison, but I relished Charlotte Page's tart Yum-Yum and Sophie Louise Dann's gravel-voiced Pitti-Sing.
The chorus seemed a bit listless and could have had more fun with all the japonaiserie, but on a grey winter's night you'd have to be a very sad, uptight person indeed not to sit back and enjoy such unpretentious old-fashioned entertainment.
