Cardiologists in Dubai
Most people have very little understanding of what someone in the field of cardiology does aside from working on hearts. With a little research you can learn that a cardiologist is one specialized physician that you'll want on your side if the need ever arises.
Cardiologists are intimate with your heart. They work to diagnose and treat many conditions and disorders of the cardiovascular system. From coronary artery diseases to congenital defects, there is very little a cardiologist can't do, except surgery. Usually they leave that up to the cardiac surgeon, though in some cases and communities they can have a dual role.
It's important to know some of the specifics about the disorders that fall in the realm of cardiology. Coronary artery disease occurs when the inside walls of your arteries begin to accumulate with plaque. This plaque prevents the proper amount of blood and nutrients to get through the artery. This disease can cause a sudden heart attack, though the disease generally shows symptoms long before an attack.
Another common condition diagnosed and treated by cardiologists are congenital defects. These are defects of the heart; it's valves and structure, which occur at birth. Congenital defects cause anything from incorrect blood flow to conditions that upset the muscle's pace. Occasionally, these conditions go undetected during childhood and need medical attention later in life.
Within the field of cardiology, there are not only specific disorders treated, there are also specializations that must be chosen during study of the cardiovascular system. The physician will have a chosen specialty as the focus of their career. These specialties include, but aren't limited to postoperative care of cardiac surgery patients, cardiovascular pharmacology, echocardiography, electrophysiology, and pacemakers, even biostatistics and epidemiology.
With obesity, cholesterol and diabetes on the rise, the work of a good cardiologist in Bur Dubai is never done. There is not a lack of patients to keep themselves and their practice busy. At the same time, there is a multitude of disease causing factors out there giving hard working cardiologists lots of business. However, most physicians will tell you that they focus on prevention and would prefer to keep you healthy and out of their office.
In the end, though, it may be an emergency situation that causes you to need the expertise provided by a cardiology office and its staff. When that happens, all of their specializations and education may go on the back burner if they aren't available. It can feel like you just need to find someone that's taking patients. Cardiologists are in high demand these days and finding a doctor that is accessible can be difficult. In these moments rely on recommendations from your primary care physician as well as friends and family.
Regardless of the situation that brings you to a cardiologist in Dubai, you should go to your appointment knowing that you are in the hands of someone extremely knowledgeable about your heart and its ailments. Cardiologists in Bur Dubai take great pride in providing you high quality care that you can trust.
About Cardiology
Our lives move to the rhythm of our hearts. From the musical sounds resonating from cafes, to the rhythmic chimes of a bustling coffee shop, every facet of our well-being depends on a steady beat. But what if that beat becomes irregular, slows, or frighteningly stops? The signs of a heart attack may not be so obvious at times and that's why paying attention to your body's language is so important. Read on for some essential cardiology tips to keep your heart in tip-top shape.
Maintaining a Healthy Heart – Team sports are a great way to blow off steam, have fun, and, best of all engage in a cardiovascular activity. The physical benefits of basketball are well documented, and what makes basketball such a desirable activity lies in its overt accessibility. Virtually every neighborhood has a basketball court and balls are inexpensive. Organizing a quick game is as easy as showing up to the court dressed in your digs and declaring your eligibility. That's it!
Sure, taking the stairs instead of the elevator is one thing, so why not consider walking to the store, running with your dog, or playing outdoors with your kids as a form of exercise too? All of these activities require a semblance of constant movement, which is great for the heart, and all are encouraged in cardiology books everywhere. In fact, the risk of experiencing a heart attack can be greatly reduced simply by adding more low impact activities to your daily routine.
Signs of Heart Disease – Cardiology is the branch of medicine that deals with diseases and abnormalities of the cardiovascular system. Engaging in activity to curtail abnormalities is one thing, but if you have a condition that persists, such as numbing and chronic headaches, it might be time for you to see a cardiologist.
Spells of dizziness, seeing black spots that aren't there, and abnormal chest pain are other signs that you may need to see a doctor. Any of these symptoms could be related to heart disease and your exercise routines, no matter how strenuous or light, should be retired until a cardiologist tells you otherwise.
Seeing a doctor regularly can help you detect early signs of heart disease, even before you have a chance to experience the obvious symptoms; pain in the jaw, weakness or coldness in your arms and/or legs, shortness of breath. These can be scary if you don't what you're up against.
Heart disease is the #1 killer of males and females in Dubai, accounting for 40% of all deaths. Why? Doctors say that people tend to ignore the symptoms. Yes, someone overcome by intense chest pains is going to call 911, but symptoms aren't always that obvious.
Seeking Help – Because most symptoms of heart disease are difficult to sense, cardiologists warn against ignoring the signs, or worse yet, waiting to see if they go away. That's especially true for the elderly, as well as for people with preexisting conditions, such as high blood pressure, high cholesterol, diabetes, smoking, or a family history of heart disease. A heart attack can happen suddenly, and even result in death.
If you've experienced any of the symptoms showcased, are a smoker or are diabetic, or if your family has a history of heart disease, you should consider speaking with a cardiologist about heart disease and what you can do to combat it.

North Tahoe basketball | Lakers play final league games against Vikings
The Lakers can breathe a sigh of relief knowing they won't have to face their largest Mount Rose League opponent again.
In their final meeting of the season against South Tahoe on Tuesday, the visiting North Tahoe boys and girls basketball teams could not keep pace with the Vikings, as the boys lost 72-39 and the girls 50-34.
Next year, however, the Division III and Division I-A schools will no longer be in the same league, or pod, as the NIAA is scrapping the four-year-old pod system that combined DIII and D-IA schools.
The Laker boys got off to a slow start, scoring only four points to the Vikings' 15 in the first quarter. North Tahoe (8-12, 2-5) recovered to outscore the hosts 17-12 in the second quarter, which shaved the lead to 27-21 by the half.
But South Tahoe (11-9, 5-1) took complete control after the break, outscoring the Lakers 22-4 in the third quarter to pull away.
"We did a great job until halftime. The second half we just went cold," said North Tahoe coach Frank Wright.
Junior point guard Alex Tyler scored a game-high 19 points and dished out six assists, going 3-for-5 from 3-point range, while Colin Spencer scored 10 points and grabbed eight rebounds, and Mitchell Myers had seven points and seven rebounds.
John Espiritu led the Vikings with 18 points, matching Tyler's 3-for-5 on 3-point attempts, and Cale Backinger had 15 points.
The North Tahoe girls played the Vikings relatively evenly through three and a half quarters before coming up short. They trailed 12-8 after the first quarter, 26-18 at the half and 35-27 at the end of three quarters.
North Tahoe coach Rick Buhler said the Lakers could have made things more interesting had they converted a higher percentage from the field.
"We spotted them eight (points), and then we hung between six and eight most of the game. We didn't get outplayed by them. We just couldn't make 2-footers," Buhler said. "It's been our Achilles' heel all year. When we make our layups, we win. When we miss 2-footers, we lose."
It didn't help that the Lakers (8-10, 2-5) lost sophomore guard Sara Trimm, who left with a concussion and will miss the rest of the regular season.
Senior guard Liz Buhler led the Lakers with 12 points, while Angela Wood had 11 points. Savannah App finished with 10 rebounds and Taylor Briggs and Buhler each pulled down nine rebounds. Brooke King scored 12 points to lead the Vikings (10-10, 5-1).
UP NEXT: North Tahoe will host Incline for its senior farewell on Saturday, girls at 2 p.m. and boys at 3:30. The Lakers then end the regular season at Sparks on Tuesday and at Truckee on Friday, Feb. 8.

The office of the State Fire Marshal urges
campers to practice fire safety
Following safety tips can prevent outdoor cooking fires and serious
Send a link to a friend
[June 03, 2014]
SPRINGFIELD – With the season for
outdoor cooking and camping trips now here, the Office of the State
Fire Marshal (OSFM) is encouraging campers to consider fire safety
as a priority to ensure a safe and fun experience.
"Camping and other outdoor activities that involve building a
fire should be enjoyable for the entire family. It's important for
campers to be aware of rules and regulations governing open fires.
Everyone should use common sense and keep fire safety in mind when
cooking or engaging in other activities that involve fire," said
State Fire Marshal Larry Matkaitis.
Campers that fail to follow adequate fire safety measures can
jeopardize the safety of themselves, their friends and loved ones.
Lack of caution can also cause wild fires, brush fires, serious
damage to natural resources and personal property. Fires should
never be left unattended and campers should check with state parks,
campsites and recreation areas for rules on cooking and campfires.
More than 200 uncontrolled campsite fires were reported in Illinois
between 2005 and 2012. Many of those fires could have been prevented
if proper safety procedures were followed.
The following is a list of additional fire safety tips for campers:

Lisbon taxpayers could be asked to decide whether the town should invest in a safety complex that would be an operational hub for all of the town�s emergency responders.
Lisbon Fire Chief Mark Robinson and Director of Emergency Services Jonathan Arbin are considering circulating a petition for a town meeting, which could ultimately lead to a referendum.
�It�s not his (First Selectman Thomas Sparkman�s) decision. It�s the voters�,� Arbin said.
Sparkman said his responsibility is to the taxpayers.
When Lisbon�s Plan of Conservation and Development was drafted, it identified space constraints at the fire department and noted the practicality of bringing all the town�s emergency services into one location. That was in 2004.
Arbin said they�ve been trying ever since to put something in motion � and being brushed off by the town�s selectmen.
Whether the town would replace or add on to the new department is still up in the air, but Robinson said adding on may not be as feasible as it sounds. Expanding on the first level is improbable because of the sewage system, and going up would involve raising the roof entirely because the newer ambulance models won�t fit into the existing space, he said.
Sparkman said a cost study is now under way, and Arbin said the town�s engineering consultant was in the firehouse a few months ago, but since then, nothing has happened.
Sparkman said the fire department has yet to come up with a concrete next step and isn�t willing to compromise on its expectations.
�We gave them $10,000 to do a needs assessment, but the fire department has not said they need all of those things� that are identified in the assessment, Sparkman said.
Sparkman said based on today�s market, a fire station three times the size of the existing one would cost about $4.4 million. The cost study under will determine what the town can do to improve the existing fire house and whether it�s feasible to expand the existing building, according to Sparkman.
If it isn�t feasible, the town will have to consider other options.
�The first thing we�d have to do is find a place to put it. If they don�t want it there, than where?� Sparkman said.
The 2004 plan also determined that Town Hall needs more space, and Robinson said he doesn�t understand why, rather than decreasing the mill rate like it did this year, the town didn�t keep taxes level and put money toward its infrastructure needs.
�I�m not trying to make it a political issue so much as an issue of the town making an investment in itself, Robinson said.

Govt Encouraged Solid Energy Expansion
26 February 2013
Govt Encouraged Solid Energy's
Expansion But Never Required A Business
The National Government encouraged Solid Energy expansion plans but never required it to submit a business case for its ambitious but ultimately futile $2 billion lignite developments, the Green Party said today.
Information released under the Official Information Act confirms that Solid Energy never provided a business case for the proposed multi-billion dollar lignite expansion to Treasury or the shareholding ministers.
"The National Government failed to provide adequate oversight of the ambitious expansion plans of the state's coal miner," said Green Party Co-leader Dr Russel Norman.
"The shareholding ministers and Treasury's Crown Ownership Monitoring Unit are responsible for providing this oversight but they manifestly failed.
"But more than that, John Key was actively encouraging the expansion of Solid Energy's lignite plans."
John Key said to an Invercargill audience on 3 June, 2011 that, 'At the moment companies like Solid Energy are growth companies and we want them to expand in areas like lignite conversion'.
"It is desperate stuff to now blame Solid Energy's failings on a speech from Trevor Mallard in 2007," said Dr Norman.
"Like South Canterbury Finance before it, the National Government's complacency has cost taxpayers hundreds of millions of dollars.
"National is failing at the basics of good economic management and oversight."
Dr Norman also questioned the Government's attempt to paint Solid Energy's demise as a failure of its clean energy investments.
"The majority of Solid Energy's asset write-downs (or impairments) were dominated by its investments in underground mines, as reported by Solid Energy's CEO when presenting the 2012 Annual Report," said Dr Norman.
"The closure of the Huntly and Spring Creek mines as a result of falling coal prices and the high New Zealand dollar have had a disproportionately bigger negative impact on Solid Energy's bottom line than its investments in clean energy.
"In fact, the National Government's decision to end the Biodiesel Grant then remove minimum biofuel requirements destroyed the business case for Solid Energy's prior investment in biodiesel."

You're looking at the future career for all those puppies who don't cut it in broadcasting when their Puppy Bowl playing days are over — they referee table games between their masters' children. It seems like a pretty sweet gig for a happy dog if it has the energy to bounce around like a motorized pogo-stick as well as the temerity to show its family that it is perfectly capable of eating table food whenever it damn well pleases and only by virtue of its good manners does it still beg underfoot. I'll warn you, though, this video will probably test your depth-perception — the dog bounces back and forth over the net and I pretty much had a panic attack thinking he'd hit his snout if he wasn't more careful.

The Crimson took seventh place in two regattas last weekend (photo courtesy Gil Talbot).
Cambridge, Mass. – The Harvard coed sailing teams turned in a pair of seventh place finishes in two regattas this past weekend. At the 73rd Owen, Mosbacher and Knapp Trophies at Navy, sophomores Andrew Mollerus and Sydney Karnovsky won four heats to lead the Crimson at the regatta. As a co-host with MIT for the Boston Dinghy Club Challenge Cup, junior Isabel Ruane and freshman Marek Zaleski led the Crimson on home waters with 108 points in Division C.
Mollerus and Karnovsky tallied 110 points on their way to a third place finish in Division B at Navy. The duo finished in the top-five nine times over the course of the weekend. In Division A, senior Jinyan Zang and sophomore Gram Slattery totaled 165 points to finish in 10th place.
Harvard's seventh place team standing came on 275 points. Boston College won the regatta with 269 points, followed by MIT (294) and Brown (298).
At the Boston Dingy Cup, Ruane and Zaleski turned in eight top-five finishes to take fifth place in Division C. Junior Luke O'Connor and sophomore Michael Drumm sailed their way to fifth in Division B, using six top-five placing to total 115 points. Sophomore Brian Drumm and freshman Jacob Bradt took to the waters in Division A, summing 149 points for eighth place.
The Crimson accumulated 372 points for seventh place. Yale claimed the team title with 165 points, beating out Connecticut College (210) and St. Mary's College of Maryland (233).
Complete scores for both regattas can be found by clicking Boston Dinghy Cup and Owen, Mosbacher and Knapp Trophy.
The sailing team splits its squad three ways March 30-31. The Crimson will compete in the 27th Women's Brad Dellenbaugh Trophy at Brown, Third Mystic Lake Team Racing Invitational at Tufts and the BU Trophy at Boston University.

'The violation of Anne Hathaway's privacy was repeated by every media outlet and media consumer who circulated or viewed her picture and by every writer or commenter who gave the peeping Tom cameraman a free pass by turning the focus away from his harassment…'
I'd like you to imagine that you have been invited to a party. Not just any party, – a really big deal. Definitely favourite dress, maybe even new dress territory. The evening of the party arrives, and you get ready. Dressed to the nines, feeling great.
Now, let's push things a little further and imagine that, for whatever reason, you've decided not to wear underwear underneath your dress. Perhaps you're more comfortable that way; maybe you think the dress sits a little better without the cottontails on. It might be a quiet message to a lover, or even just that your favourites are in the wash. It doesn't really matter anyway, because the cab is here, and shortly you're arriving at the party.
And then, as you open the door to step out of the car, there's a moment in which your dress slips up, revealing a glimpse of your underwear-less genitals for the merest fraction of a second. But before you've had a chance to react, to adjust your dress and protect yourself, you see a camera flash as somebody standing outside the venue snaps a photo. You are shocked, but go in to enjoy the party, trying not to worry about it.
The next day, you discover that instead of apologising or deleting it, the photographer has sold their picture of you and your exposed vagina to a news outlet. And as your vagina goes viral, they ask: was it an attention-grabbing stunt? An attempt to distract from her 'hideous outfit'? Or do girls just not wear undies anymore?
This, unfortunately, is where the imaginary journey ends. For the scenario above isn't a daydream gone awry – it happened, last week, to Oscar-nominated actor Anne Hathaway as she arrived at a red-carpet premiere.
Under the circumstances, Hathaway's response when questioned on the Today show was remarkably dignified:
"It was obviously an unfortunate incident… It kind of made me sad on two accounts. One was that I was very sad that we live in an age when someone takes a picture of another person in a vulnerable moment and rather than delete it, and do the decent thing, sells it. And I'm sorry that we live in a culture that commodifies sexuality of unwilling participants, which brings us back to Les Mis, that's what my character is, she is someone who is forced to sell sex to benefit her child because she has nothing and there's no social safety net."
Her response strikes to the core of the problem. For we do indeed live in a series of cultures in which the bodies of girls and women are under constant and sustained assault, from individuals and organizations treating them as property and sexual objects. Being a celebrity, Anne Hathaway's case made headlines worldwide, along with the inevitable lines about how celebrities put their lives in the public sphere and should expect this kind of thing. Which is the weakest of excuses, given how many girls and women suffer or even expect 'this kind of thing' daily, not because of their status or wealth but simply for having the impudence to live their lives in possession of female body parts.
Of course, it's not limited to invasive photography– women report a wide variety of assaults and violations, not only without consent, but in many cases without the victim even being aware of what has taken place.
It's also important to remember that, despicable as the actions of the photographer were, he is by no means the only predator in this situation. The violation of Anne Hathaway's privacy was repeated by every media outlet and media consumer who circulated or viewed her picture (even pixellated), and by every writer or commenter who gave the peeping Tom cameraman a free pass by turning the focus away from his harassment into "the real question… why Hathaway opted not to wear any panties (did she not learn anything from Lindsay Lohan?)"
This is rape culture 101. First, treat a woman and her body as public property, and do to her as you enjoy or see fit. Then, blame her for not doing enough to prevent what happened. Finally, when discussing the incident, be sure to frame it in terms of how the victim was at fault and how what she did or didn't do contributed to her assault. Never discuss the person who harassed or violated her, or those who circulated the story or image. She and everyone else must know her place, and exactly who is to blame.
And so, for next time – because there will inevitably be a next time – when a man takes a photograph of a woman's vagina, without her consent, and then circulates that picture, without her consent, if anyone tries to tell you that the "real question" is 'why wasn't she wearing any underwear', tell them to think again.

The difference
Ferme d'ORée Farm
Our philosophy
Owners Sarah Hui & Gert, Rosalie & Camille Janssens
We are going much further than
No antibiotics
No growth hormones
Our farm is
Grass-based and local!
Our vocation is to model our farm to the romantic idea of a picturesque family farm where animals and people live a good life. This is in stark contrast to the reality of modern agriculture. The privilege of breathing the country air, working the land and caring for our animals is our reward for hard work under difficult conditions and otherwise unprofitable investment. Even though we know some fantastic farmers with industrial (family) farms, it is not what we are about.
Environmental agriculture is based on the principle that
you are what you eat.
This goes much further than no chemical fertilizers, preventative antibiotics or growth hormones
Good food is natural food
. Nature is our template. We let animals be animals. Our animals live outside as much as possible. Herbivores have evolved to eat grass - not grain, pigs have a strong desire to root. Sunshine, fresh air, hygienic living conditions and a natural diet make for happy animals that rarely get sick and do not need preventative antibiotics.
Good food comes from a diversified farm
. Nature is resilient because of diversity. In a sense, we try to create a balanced ecosystem rather than using chemical fertilizer as a crutch for a depleted soil. Since we feed very little grain, almost all our land is both pasture and hayfield. This is much better for the soil.
Good food is seasonal food
. We follow the rhythm of nature as much as we can.
Good food is slow food
. With more exercise, less grain and no steroids, hormones or chemical food additives, our animals grow slower. That results in lean meat, yellow fat, and more taste. What is healthy for animals is healthy for you!
Good food is local food
. Reducing transportation is better for the animals and the environment. Local food means that more money stays in our community. We sure prefer a local abattoir over a huge one. Local food encourages openness and a relationship between consumer and farmer based on trust. Local food forces farms to stay relatively small. We think that that is essential in what we do. Small is beautiful...
Good food is social food
. Our food has no hidden social costs. We do not cause pollution and we do not exploit people. We try to keep our prices reasonable.
Good food is family-friendly food
. Environmental farming is not just our job, it is our vocation! Our kids take pride in our farm. We hope to create a little paradise they will always return to.
Good food is community supported food
. Rural communities are having a hard time as many young people leave in search for better jobs in the city. We discovered that most of our neighbours and clients in city and country alike, are really cool and resourceful people. Nothing is more encouraging than your support. We love living here and we hope to contribute to the development of our region.
Good food is not just food
. In our consumption and production decisions, we chose what kind of world we want to live in. We want you to enjoy our products as you cook and eat a good, healthy and guilt-free meal together!
Environmental agriculture is grass-based farming
that nurtures the original philosophy of the organic, bio-dynamic and permaculture movements. We are not certified organic. Industrial agriculture -even if it is organic - thrives on cheap grain and cheap fossil fuels. It produces cheap commodities for global markets.

This ritual performance features a unique soundscape – including live instrumentation, classical text derived from Shakespeare's Julius Caesar, and physical theatre and dance generated by the all-female ensemble. Our very own ruin from an imagined San Francisco of antiquity, The Palace of Fine Arts – with its famous weeping maidens, sweeping pergolas and unique avian life – will serve as inspiration. Turning up the volume on women's stories, we reach a hand back through time to empower those with lesser-known histories. Through Roman Women we explore the public and private lives of the women in Julius Caesar, in the late Roman Republic, and in the 21st century – imagining and recreating secret rites and hidden mysteries.

"Amazing place, amazing people"
I really had good time in Aldea Luna and this mainly because of the people. Martin, Elizabeth, Matias and the little Anna are all the members of this family but everyone that goes there is part of the group! The place is amazing, in the middle of the jungle and so the nature is incredible.
"Great Place. Great Location. Great People."
Aldea Luna was the highlight in my Yeartrip around Southamerika. I stayed there for only 3 weeks, because I was running out of time.
If not I would stay for 2 or 3 more weeks. The location is gorgeous, very very scenic.
"A Jewel in the Forest"
I was at Aldea Luna for 6 weeks. I arrived in april and I was coming from Bolivia with 2 friends of mine. After travelling for 2 months, our digestive situation was a bit delicated and I recommend Aldea Luna because it is a very healthy place.
"Everything You Could Ask For and More"
If only staying forever were an option. I was only able to stay at Aldea Luna for 2 weeks, which was far too short in my opinion. Aldea Luna is unlike any other place I've been to before or since. The owners, Elisabeth and Martin, are welcoming, generous and impressive people who have built an amazing sustainable vegetarian farm
"Very Homey and Loving Family! Would Return in a Heartbeat!"
While I was at Aldea Luna for over 5 weeks I had a great experience with the whole crew there and with all the travelers coming through. I also took Spanish classes while I was there and they were very helpful and I gained a lot of Spanish Speaking skills. Honestly while I was there I felt at home.
"Beautiful place with beautiful human beings"
I've been leaving in Aldea Luna for 2 weeks and I loved it! I took some spanish class with Elisabeth that has been really helpfull to me.
It's a little place of paradise hidden in the mountains.
I recommend deeply!
"Best Place in Argentina"
Aldea Luna ist THE place for volunteering. For my sister and me it was the perfect combination of working (4 hours a day), cooking and eating (best vegetarian food in my life) and living with a real authentic, friendly and lovely family. We improved our Spanish a lot, learned a lot while working, had great walks on the hiking trails
"Feeling at home, far from home!"
Whether you are travelling alone, with your friends, your partner or your kids, whether you speak fluently Spanish or you have no idea of this language, whether you are carnivore or vegan, 20 or 70, travelling for a month or for a life,

The Republican leadership in the Texas House has proposed changing the rules to block Democrats from forcing a vote on funding for public schools.
Next week lawmakers are scheduled to vote on an emergency spending measure to cover a budget deficit for Medicaid, the health program for the poor and disabled.
Democrats want to use that bill to also restore $5.4 billion in cuts to public schools. But Republican Rep. Todd Hunter proposed a rule Thursday that would block any attempt by Democrats to force a vote on public education spending.
The latest news from around North Texas.
Republican lawmakers don't want to be forced to vote against raising public education spending.
The rule Hunter proposed is extremely unusual and breaks with the tradition of allowing lawmakers to offer amendments to spending bills, no matter the cost.

For designer shopping in Dubai, there's no better place to head than the BurJuman Centre. One of Dubai's most popular malls, BurJuman's recent extension now offers shoppers a bigger range than ever. Good for clothes, which, in fashion-conscious Dubai, is a must, it is well worth browsing through the impressive line-up of boutique shops.
There is also a proliferation of designer names (including Calvin Klein, D&G, Diesel, Hermes, Polo Ralph Lauren and a huge Saks Fifth Avenue) jostling for space with the Mangos, Nexts and Zaras of this world. It really is designer shopping paradise.
The BurJuman Centre is well stocked with perfumes, cosmetics and jewellery. Children are well catered for, too, at Fun City and Fun World. A key sponsor of Dubai Summer Surprises (DSS), you'll find plenty of offers here during the hotter months, and the mall is also a huge promoter of breast cancer awareness, pulling out all the stops and bedecking itself in pink ribbon every October to draw attention to the cause.
If designer shopping is close to you heart, Dubai's BurJuman Centre should be first on your list.
Address: Trade Centre Rd
Open: Saturday to Thursday 10:00 to 22:00, Friday 14:00 to 22:00

Anthony Watts writes:
The picture above comes to me courtesy of Gary Kobes, of the US Coast Guard. It is the temperature sensor at the climate station of record in Aberdeen, WA It is located at the sewage treatment plant. Note the sign on the support post. Note also the temperature shelter plates are clogged with some dark matter, what I'm not sure.
Gary writes: The general location is about 300-400 feet north of Grays Harbor—the body of water. The sewage plant is located in the middle of an industrial area. The sewage plant lies between the site and the harbor generally on the south. The heavy construction company's yard building and equipment are to the east. Weyerhaeuser has a log yard to the west. The northern boundary of the site is a railway and on the far side is an area of light industrial buildings.
The measuring head is 6′ above the ground. It is about 25′ from the office building in the background. It is surrounded on three sides—the tree and out building about 75" to the southeast, the office building 25′ to the southwest and the #1 sewage digester and processing tank 90′ to the northwest—and sheltered from the three primary prevailing directions of wind in the area. The measuring head has a 25′ wide strip of grass on the southwest side and a concrete sidewalk and asphalt parking lot to the northeast.
Nothing like convenient parking next to a weather station, why I'll bet those hot automobile radiators only affect the temperature a few degrees, not to worry.
This USHCN station is used in the GISTEMP database to calculate future trends in computer driven climate models. You can see it here:
I don't know about you, but I think something smells about the data.
Steve adds:
Here are a few plots from Aberdeen for context. Here are 7 versions of the Aberdeen series; Anthony has shown the GISS unadjusted version, which is pretty much identical to the USHCN adjusted and GHCN adjusted versions, which are probably what are used in CRU – though only the Shadow knows what CRU does. The GISS adjusted version allows for a substantial UHI effect – see difference between red and other series.
Here is a plot showing adjustments in a format that I've shown before: USHCN Raw- USHCN Adjusted; USHCN Adjusted – GISS Raw; GISS Raw – GISS Adjusted ; thus USHCN Raw – GISS Adjusted. You see that the UHI allowance between early 20th century and modern values is up to 1 deg C, notwithstanding Parker, but look at the attenuation in the late 19th century.
BTW in response to a question, Aberdeen shifted to MMTS in 1985. For some reason, Aberdeen station history is not at the MI3 site (why not?) but is decodable from http://cdiac.ornl.gov/ftp/ushcn_monthly/station_history .

Padres coach interviews to be Tigers' manager
After playing for retiring Leyland with Pittsburgh, Renteria hopes to replace him
DETROIT -- Padres bench coach Rick Renteria officially joined the list of Tigers managerial candidates Thursday, interviewing with team president/general manager Dave Dombrowski for the opportunity to replace the recently retired Jim Leyland.
Renteria did not come in as a household name, and he brought little recent history with Dombrowski. However, he was a player on Dombrowski's first team in Florida before managing in the Marlins' farm system in the late 1990s. Renteria's extensive experience as a Minor League manager and a big league coach, however, is almost Leyland-like.
Renteria played for Leyland when he made his Major League debut for the Pirates in 1986, Leyland's first year in Pittsburgh. Renteria, a former first-round Draft pick, had a few cups of coffee with the Mariners in the late '80s before playing the 1993 season with the expansion Marlins at age 31.
Renteria found a place with the Marlins in his post-playing career, becoming the first former Florida player to manage in the organization. He was the Midwest League Manager of the Year for Kane County in 1999, moved up to Double-A Portland after that, then moved into the Padres' farm system 10 years ago as a Class A coach.
Renteria's first coaching chance in the big leagues came after Bud Black became Padres manager. Renteria joined Black's staff as the first-base coach following the 2007 season, then became the bench coach three years ago.
Renteria is the fourth person to interview with Detroit for the job, joining Lloyd McClendon, Tim Wallach and Brad Ausmus. There is a strong possibility the Tigers will ask permission to interview Red Sox bench coach Torey Lovullo now that Boston's season has ended with a World Series title.
The 51-year-old Renteria, meanwhile, has now interviewed for three managerial jobs this October. He reportedly had a strong interview for the Cubs opening before talking with Mariners general manager Jack Zduriencik about the Seattle job a week ago.
Both the Cubs and M's are in rebuilding phases. The veteran-laden Tigers comprise a different project entirely, with their win-now focus. Renteria's ability to work with young players in San Diego, combined with his managerial track record from the Minors, apparently made an impression in baseball circles.

The advantages of the new methodology, called multiplexed ion beam imaging (MIBI), is described by a team of scientists at UC Davis and San Francisco and at Stanford, Genentec in the March 23 advance online publication of the journal Nature Medicine.
"This technology enables researchers to identify the molecular makeup of breast tumor cells more quickly and in greater detail than has been possible before," said Richard Levenson, study co-author and professor and vice chair for strategic technologies in the UC Davis Department of Pathology and Laboratory Medicine. "It's a powerful tool that allows us to look at many more than one biomarker at a time, which has important implications for research and clinical diagnosis."
Conventional immunohistochemistry (IHC), the standard method for detecting these molecules, typically can simultaneously pinpoint only two to four markers, Levenson said. And while other existing technologies could be used to assemble a detailed map of many protein markers, called antigens, of breast tumor cells, he said that these techniques are time-consuming and can involve many steps. In contrast, future iterations of MIBI could quickly provide up to 100 antigens "all in one shot."
Researchers and clinicians need the greater detail that MIBI can provide because identifying protein markers that make up each cell in a breast tumor is complex. Tumors contain a variety of cells, from cancerous cells that differ in gene expression, or activity, to immune system cells and non-malignant stromal cells that form the structural framework of the tumor.
Until recently, a tumor's stromal cells were thought to be inconsequential in the development and growth of a malignant tumor. But recent research has found that biological cross-talk occurs between malignant and stromal cells, Levenson said.
"The stromal cells are clearly influencing the cancerous cells and vice versa," he said. "Understanding the nature of the cross-talk as well as the protein markers associated with a tumor's growth and spread to other sites in the body potentially could lead to more effective treatments against the disease."
For the study, Stanford University researchers developed MIBI, and Levenson and UC Davis anatomic pathologist Alexander D. Borowsky provided the expertise in breast tumor pathology and the clinically relevant antibodies from breast cancer patient biopsies that enabled Stanford researchers to evaluate MIBI's effectiveness. Like other clinical samples, the tissue sections were formalin-fixed and embedded in paraffin.
MIBI uses a technique known as secondary ion mass spectrometry to image the locations of antibodies that have been labeled with isotopically pure elemental metals. Because each of these metal-tagged antibodies binds to a specific protein, or antigen, in a section of tissue, they serve as reporters of the identity and location of the proteins there. The signals produced by the metal tags on the antibodies also enable the mass spectrometer to produce images that reveal the spatial features of protein expression in individual cells.
Co-authors of the technical report, entitled "Multiplexed Ion Beam Imaging of Human Breast Tumors," include Michael Angelo, Stanford University and UC San Francisco; Sean C. Bendall, Rachel Finck, Matthew B. Hale, Chuck Hitzman, Scot D. Liu, Shuchun Zhao, Yasodha Natkunam and Garry P. Nolan, Stanford University; Alexander D. Borowsky and Richard M Levenson, UC Davis; John B. Lowe, Genentech.

Milk cappuccino and caffé latte based on the classic espresso stimulant are some of the most popular coffees prepared according to the Italian recipe. They taste great in the morning in the company of a light breakfast, and in the afternoon with a sweet dessert. In cafes, where the baristas ensure that milk is perfectly frothed and original patterns float on its surface, it's hard for us to refuse one of these caffeinated beverages. Similarly, when we have automatic coffee machines at home. Unfortunately, some of us do not tolerate milk, which must limit its consumption, and often completely eliminate them from the diet. What then? Is there any solution to be able to drink a cappuccino or a latte at least once in a while? Fortunately, just reach for one of the so-called plant milk.
Almond milk
Almond milk is a drink that is prepared from crushed almonds. Its great advantage is the taste and aroma – delicate, velvety, slightly sweet, nutty. Therefore, it goes well with coffee brewed on the basis of a composition of grains coming from traditional Italian smoking rooms. What's more, almond milk is health! It has a lot of beneficial for the human body antioxidants in the form of vitamin E. Besides, due to low calorie (one serving is only 30kcal) and lack of saturated fatty acids, with a clear conscience can also reach for those who follow the diet for fat reduction.

Soy milk
Soy milk is probably the most popular replacement for cow's milk. Nowadays, most of the good cafes have a latte or cappuccino in their menu with a drink prepared from soybeans. In stores, we find three types of milk: natural (unsweetened), sweetened and flavored (eg chocolate, vanilla). Importantly, they contain calcium, vitamin D and A, as well as riboflavin. It also contains about 8-10 grams of protein per serving (similar to cow's milk). However, it is worth bearing in mind that the daily intake of soy and soy products should not exceed 50 grams.

Organic Body Care Standards
Beyond Food, Organics in Whole Body
It only makes sense that the definition of "organic" should not change substantially between the food and the non-food aisles of stores. Unfortunately, there are no mandatory government standards for the "organic" label claim on body care products.
The good news is at Whole Foods Market we're setting our own high standards. We're working to make organic mean organic in every aisle throughout our stores.
We believe that what you put on your body is as important as what you put in your body. So we're making organics in body care as reliable and straightforward as the existing standards for food.
Our Organic Body Care Standards
All personal care products making an "organic" product claim are required to contain at least 95% organic ingredients and be certified to the USDA National Organic Standards.
Products labeled "made with organic X" must be certified to the USDA National Organic Standards and include at least 70% organic ingredients.
Products that make "contains organic X" claims must be at least 70% organic and certified to NSF/ANSI 305, a consensus-based private standard for organic personal care products.
Aside from the three certified claims above, no other use of the word "organic" will be allowed on the packaging.
Hopefully our efforts, and those of our producer partners, will encourage the quality of personal care—and the industry as a whole—to improve. We do the homework and the footwork so that you have more reliable greener choices – and your shopping decisions will send a message!

LAKELAND, Fla. – Senior Billy Shida (Berkeley Lakes, Ga.) did something no golfer has done since 1995, along the way helping lead the No. 15 Georgia College golf team to a second-place finish at the Matlock Collegiate Classic, hosted by Florida Southern College.
Shida posted three rounds under 70 with a 67-69-69=205, good for 11-under. The last time a golfer posted three sub-70 round scores was Florida Southern's Darron Stiles in 1995. David Toms also completed the feat for LSU in 1989, winning the tournament and also carding a minus-11. Shida was named the first David Toms Award winner this summer, a new honor given to a collegiate golfer that has overcome strong adversity.
The team posted rounds of 285, 285 and 292 to finish two under par, one of two teams to have a sub-par tournament. The other was tournament champion No. 9 University of West Florida, just four strokes ahead of GC on the par-72, 7,065-yard Lone Palm course.
Senior Joe Young (Cochran, Ga.) climbed to seventh, capping the tourney with a round of 71 today after a 73 and 69 yesterday for three under par. Sophomore Patrick Garrett (Kennesaw, Ga.) was 31st, finishing plus-five with a 73-73-75.
Senior Matthew Yonz (Waycross, Ga.) was 40th, with 72-74-78=224, while sophomore Taylor Smith (Mansfield, Ga.) took 66th at 80-75-77.
The Bobcats beat host No. 20 Florida Southern by three strokes. Three other Peach Belt Conference (PBC) schools competed at the tourney, with No. 7 Columbus State University taking seventh, No. 25 Lander University finishing 14th and Clayton State University taking 15th.
Shida bested the field by five strokes, as FSC's Jude Eustaquio was six-under, tied with UWF's Blake Olson.
The Bobcats are back in action Monday, Feb. 28 at the Argonaut Invitational, hosted by West Florida.
The Georgia College Department of Athletics, back-to-back winners of the PBC Commissioner's Cup, sponsors 10 varsity athletic programs at the NCAA Division II level. As a Division II program, Bobcat Athletics prides itself on balancing the life of the student-athlete, evidenced by the teams' multiple appearances in post-season competition as well as documented academic success and community-service involvement.

Teammates now: Joey Logano and Brad Keselowski -- Ford's new 1-2 punch (Photo: Getty Images for NASCAR)
By Mike Mulhern
MARTINSVILLE, Va.
The man at the center of the hurricane is Joey Logano.
And he seems cool with it.
This season, it appears, there is a new Joey Logano on the stock car circuit. With more than a little bit of Brad Keselowski in him now.
Call this the 'Joey ain't taking no more @#$%^ tour.'
Logano is only 22, hard to remember at times, because he's been racing Sprint Cup since 2008.
Up too fast? Well, maybe so. But then he was billed as a hotshot newcomer, by no less than Mark Martin. And Joe Gibbs used that to help sell sponsor Home Depot on a new deal, when Tony Stewart left.
During his early years on the NASCAR trail, Logano was pushed and pushed to toughen up, to stop taking guff from rivals.
And it's hard to figure out this NASCAR stuff anyway, without having someone with 'a foot in your back,' as Jeff Burton described Logano's situation here Friday.

Jimmie Johnson, who was noticeably off at California the last time out, two weeks ago, took a step toward bouncing back, winning the pole for Sunday's Martinsville 500 at record speed. "The first pit box is key, helps you out quite a bit," the seven-time track winner says.
Not only is this the first race at this flat half-mile for the new 2013s, but Goodyear also has a new tire setup, leading to record speeds. However the tire test for this event was last August.
Six men broke the record, and drivers predict more track records will fall this spring.
NASCAR's new rear end camber rules may well be an issue here; drivers wonder if some teams might abuse the camber rule and thus also abuse the tires too much -- looking very fast on short runs, but risking tires wearing excessively on longer runs. "We've studied the rear end temperatures and all that extensively, and I don't think there will be mechanical issues," Marcos Ambrose, on the outside of the front row, says. "But it may be possible to abuse the tires."
"I think that is a valid point," Brian Vickers agreeded. Vickers is third fastest.
Tires are expected to fall off in speed as much as two seconds per lap over a full gas stop. "Our teammates did see high-wear (on race setups), which is fairly common here, because this track doesn't seem to take rubber that well, until we get into Saturday's practices," Johnson said. But he said he didn't anticipate any tire issues because of excessive brake heat.
"Actually I consider this a 'green' track until the race starts, because the track changes so much about halfway through the race, and the setup you worked so hard on Friday and Saturday is out the window. When we really start laying down right-side rubber, things change a lot."

How much of Sunday's four-hour battle will be technical/mechanical and how much mental temperment is up for more debate than usual, given the Joey Logano debate.
Keselowski reflects on Logano's early season controversies and says "It's a real test of character for him. If he can get through this test, he'll graduate to an elite level.
"It's a lot of 'old guard/new guard.' And it all depends on how competitive you are.
"When I look back at what I've gone through, I'm proud of it -- because when someone is mad at you like that, it's because you're competitive with them.
"In some ways Joey should be proud of it."
Tony Stewart, so upset with a block Logano threw late in the California 400 two weeks ago that he was throwing fists on pit road afterwards, says he's trying to keep focus here, and keep Logano off his radar:
"There are bigger feuds going on than what happened two weeks ago," Stewart said Friday, apparently trying to downplay things now. "And it's not even a feud. I disagreed with him and what he did, and he has a different side to it and he is entitled to that.
"I think it's a hard scenario for him this year because of switching teams (from Joe Gibbs to Roger Penske), and a lot of things that are going on. So I think there is a little extra pressure on him right now.
"He has to understand he is in a position where he can run good...and he is messing with guys that run up front all the time... and there are common denominators in some of these equations here, and you don't have to be a genius to figure out what it is."
Stewart says California is history, for him: "I've got three race cars here and we are in Martinsville this week. I've got a lot of stuff to do other than worry about something that happened two weeks ago.
"I can't change it. I can't do anything about what happened two weeks ago."
And Stewart concedes his personal feelings about 'blocking,' may not be universal on the stock car tour: "My stance has never changed about blocking. Everybody has got a different opinion.
"I know the last two weeks everybody has tried to make a comparison to the Talladega deal (where Stewart, race leader, blocked Michael Waltrip's passing bid the last lap, triggering a huge crash that wiped out most of the field). Talladega is a little different deal than the rest of it. I don't like it at Daytona and Talladega either, but it's the position we are put in there.
"What happened at California is a different deal.
"The people that are trying to compare the two are people that -- honestly I've read who has written it, and it's disappointing they don't understand the sport any better than that. But there is a huge difference between the two.
"I don't like blocking. I never have, I never will.
"I learned from Rusty Wallace and Dale Sr., Mark Martin, Bobby Labonte, Jeff Burton -- drivers raced each other with respect. Your job was to go out and do a better job than anybody. And none of those guys ever blocked 15 years ago."
Now that may be rewriting history. We'll have to go to the tape to make judgement.
Still, Stewart makes the case like this: "It's our jobs as drivers to go out there and try to pass people. That is what racing is about.
"We didn't have blocking 10 years ago.
"I don't know where all of a sudden it became a common deal, or some people think it's all right to do now.
"I don't believe it should be common practice."
But then Jeff Gordon is among those who disagree: "There's a mirror and a spotter in these cars for a reason.
"To me blocking has always been sort of wide-open and accepted.
"But you've got to make the block soon enough. If the guy is there, and you start turning down on him, you're basically giving the guy behind you an excuse to turn you. We see it a lot more at Daytona and Talladega.
"To me that (at California) was two guys racing hard.
" I can understand why Tony was mad, because he had a hole in front and faded. Had he gone down into turn one and raced side-by-side with him and finished in the top five, he probably would have shaken it off as 'I wasn't happy about it, but we'll deal with that later,' and not reacted quite as aggressively as he did.
"But to me everywhere we go, you've got to use that mirror and you've got to figure it out -- especially in a green-white-checkered situation, you've got to go for it, and you've got to do everything you can to win on both sides."
Virginia officials are honoring NASCAR legend Wendell Scott with an historical highway marker near his Danville, Va., home.
Logano himself? "I feel like, with Tony and me, it's pretty much over.
"We have not talked to each other; but we had an off-weekend and time to relax a little bit and cool off. So I feel that's over; I feel we're moving on.
"I think we both understand what happened. I've heard his comments, and he's heard mine."
"Every driver is going to have his own opinion," Logano says. "Late in the race you're going to see that a lot. You're going to see it here.
"A lot of people do it, and as a driver you have to be ready for that.
"I looked back at the four or five cars behind me (in reviewing the California video), and they did the same exact thing. That's hard racing at the end of the race.
"Early in the race, no, you shouldn't do that. At the end of the race, I would expect it to be done to me."
Logano has a new team this season, a new boss Roger Penske, a new brand, Ford. Everything is new. Except the pressure. Which is amped up.
"The game plan is not to be in the middle of the drama... but at least they're talking about you," Logano says. "That's a good thing.
"And we've had some really fast cars that can go out there and win these things."
Indeed, Logano could easily have won both Bristol and California, and he could well be considered Ford's lead driver right now, as surprising as that might seem.
Hamlin says Logano needs to show more patience, but Logano disagrees. "I feel I have enough racing experience and enough racing savvy to know when to hold 'em and know when to fold 'em."
Logano isn't known as a man who goes looking for trouble: "But I'm also not here to get walked on either.
"There's a fine line how you're going to earn that respect.
"No, I don't feel like I need to prove myself. I want to go out and win races. If that's proving yourself, okay, then that's what it is.
"I'm out here to win races just like everyone else is, and I'm going to race hard to do that."

Chelsea walked away with a 1-0 win in their home leg of the Champions League semifinal with Barcelona today, putting a stumbling block in the road of Barça's attempt to defend their CL title. They did this despite being dominated at nearly every aspect of the game, thanks to Barcelona's failure to execute at key closing moments and one very special counterattack at the end of the first half that led to the match's only score.
How bad was Barcelona at crunch time? We compiled some of the most regretful moments above, though the biggest breakdown came late in stoppage time when they failed to score despite Chelsea practically asking them to equalize. (That isn't to downplay Chelsea pulling itself together defensively and making some terrific plays, of course.) Observers may expect Barça to demolish the Blues on the return trip to Catalonia, but for now the squad needs to pull themselves back together for this weekend's El Clásico bout with a Real Madrid team reeling after its own Champions League letdown.
