Osman Topcagic is the Director of Bosnia and Hercegovina's Directorate for European Integration. He is the country's top civil servant in charge of European integration and a tireless advocate of the European agenda. He says:
"More Europe in the region means more stability, more economic prosperity, more jobs… All parties support the European integration process, and the public is very much in favour, 80 percent or more support the process." (See www.esiweb.org, The Adriatic push for enlargement.
Osman Topcagic was born in Sarajevo; his mother came from an old Sarajevo family. Osman's grandfather was a merchant who traded with Vienna, Budapest and Istanbul. He had a big house opposite the library, in which his mother still lives. His grandfather possessed many shops and other properties but these were confiscated by the communists.
Osman went to school at the First Gymnasium, the best school in Sarajevo. Osman's family was religious, but in the Tito era you did not show this in public. Like many seven year olds, Osman became a member of "Tito's Pioneers", the equivalent of the Scouts in Socialist Yugoslavia. At 18 he was proposed for membership of the Communist Party, but he refused. His teacher understood, he says. In the first census which he participated in, in 1971, he described himself as Yugoslav but later on, he started calling himself a Muslim.
Osman studied Mathematics at Sarajevo University. His first job was in Zenica at the Metallurgy Institute. At the time it was not customary to go away from home to work. Everyone stayed at home, so even Zenica was considered far away. He later returned to Sarajevo where he did NCR computer programming for big projects. His job took him all over Yugoslavia; to Belgrade, Pristina, Istria, and Zagreb.
Osman recalls:
"I got married in 1980. We rented a nice apartment. It was a time of decent living standards. I had a car and we could travel. We had holidays in France and Italy. I travelled a lot on business, to Germany and the Netherlands for example. There was social equality, quality education and health insurance. I was in favour of these things. We were worried about what would happen when Tito died. We asked ourselves: 'Will there be war? Will the Russians come?' We were all in favour of defending Yugoslavia.
In 1991, when the war began in Slovenia and Croatia, I didn't believe it would happen in Bosnia. I was involved in big projects on the Yugoslav level. The Croats said it would come. I said everything was fine here. I was working at the UNIS institute. UNIS was a big Bosnian company.
At the time of the referendum in Bosnia, in March 1992, I was offered a big job in Slovenia. I hesitated. The weekend of the referendum we thought of going to Maribor in Slovenia. After the referendum the barricades went up. My daughters were eight and ten years old. I suggested they leave and go to Croatia, which they did in May. But I wanted to be here.
Bosnia was about to be an independent country and we wanted to know what we could do for it. I was not in the frame of mind to move. I did not realise it would be so bad. My family stayed in Croatia until 1993, when the Croatian-Bosniak war broke out. They then left for Sweden and ended up somewhere above the Arctic Circle!
My job in Sarajevo was to save UNIS' computers. We had a new $1m computer and the UNIS towers were burned, but we managed to save it. I was also trying to save data. We were trying to keep working as normally as possible, but there was not much we could do.
Of course I felt very Bosnian and Sarajevan then. My sister was killed in September 1992 at the door of her house. She was giving food to the dog. In February 1993 my mother was wounded and my young niece was killed. It was really a time of complete destruction and 1993 was a time of no perspectives. It was a disaster, because we were also at war with the Croats.
In mid-1993 I got a job, running the computers at the Ministry of the Interior. Then I was moved to Foreign Affairs. In Sarajevo we were only 30 in the ministry. I stayed in Sarajevo until 1998 when I became ambassador in London. Then I went to Brussels for a year.
When I was a child, I sometimes had the opportunity to go and play in the garden at Tito's villa in Stojcevac with some of my friends. It was very luxurious, which was not so common in the late 1950s and early 1960s. There was me - a Muslim, a Serb, one Jew, one Roma and one Montenegrin. That was typical for the time.
Today, I like to go out and drink coffee with my friends and chat with them. Since the war though, Sarajevo is not as ethnically diverse as it was. It has not returned to its former state. But, in other ways it is more interesting than it was, because of the embassies and international organisations. Now it is a European capital. Bernard Henri Levi, the French philosopher was once asked what Europe should look like in the future and he said it should be like Bosnia "which is a little Europe in itself. " I like that very much."

In the past 15 years, the federal HOPE VI program has sought to invest in some of the country's most economically distressed urban neighborhoods. Policymakers have viewed HOPE VI and the more general idea of mixed-income housing as a way to offer families in public housing a chance to escape concentrated poverty and improve housing quality, and also to reduce crime and spur private investment in neighborhoods that have been neglected for decades. Mixed-income housing and mixed income neighborhoods have quickly formed a new policy paradigm.
The first generation of research evaluating mixed-income housing has produced uneven and sometimes conflicting results. The main approach to date consists of attempts to isolate the effect of mixed-income housing interventions either on individual families or targeted neighborhoods. Although a necessary first step, causal processes at the individual and neighborhood level are interdependent. Individuals are mutually influenced by each other and by the larger neighborhood context. When behavior is interdependent, we often observe nonlinear or "threshold" reactions to changes in social environment. Models of causal inference and experimental interventions typically assume that the environment influences individuals as isolates, and thus may miss or incorrectly specify the mechanisms that connect neighborhoods to social outcomes.
Just as important, neighborhoods are interdependent with other neighborhoods, changing in a dynamic and emergent fashion in ways that housing policy has not fully examined. "Spillover" effects are especially likely when a policy implemented in one set of target areas has ramifying implications for a region as a whole. Yet most housing research focuses on the neighborhoods where public housing is redeveloped, overlooking neighborhoods surrounding redevelopment sites, neighborhoods that receive residents displaced by redevelopment, and neighborhoods that were passed over by redevelopment.
This project seeks to advance a second generation of research on mixed-income housing that will address these issues. Anchored by lead studies in Chicago and Los Angeles, the "Mixed Income Neighborhoods Project" (MINP) compares an older city from the "rustbelt" with a newer city from the "sunbelt," yielding marked variation in urban structures and experiences with mixed-income housing redevelopment. The design leverages previous research in a way that offers a unique ability to collect new follow-up data on families and neighborhoods from which a rich set of longitudinal information has been collected starting in the mid nineties. A sample from the Panel Study of Income Dynamics will overlay the project and provide a national picture as well. Our analytic plan examines moves into and out of both (a) planned mixed-income housing developments and (b) "naturally occurring" mixed-income neighborhoods that arise without deliberate policy intervention. Once pathways of residential selection are modeled, we will estimate the effects of living in (or nearby) mixed income neighborhoods on individual outcomes like mental health, economic well being, and family changes. We will also examine the effects of mixed-income redevelopment that are felt beyond the individuals who relocate and the neighborhoods initially targeted for revitalization. Further, we will examine a crucial policy question at the neighborhood level—what are the conditions that lead to stable vs. transitory mixed-income neighborhoods? If mixed-income settings are simply a temporary blip on a neighborhood's overall trajectory, then the assumptions and plans of the mixed-income policy paradigm are called into question. Finally, we will compare HOPE VI and other interventions with the broader population of existing mixed-income neighborhoods. The Mixed-Income Neighborhoods Project thus aims to produce a "holistic" view of the individual and aggregate dynamics of mixed-income housing.

Why I love having my boobies sucked
I am wondering why only 36% of American moms make it through a mere 6 months of breast feeding. I didn't know it was that low until I read this NY Times article: http://well.blogs.nytimes.com/2008/08/11/most-moms-give-up-on-breast-feeding/?em
Anyway, this article has inspired me to talk about what breastfeeding has been like for me. Without really intending to, I came up with a list of 10 reasons to breastfeed. So if the American Academy of Pediatrics' statement that all women should breastfeed at least one year isn't enough for you, please allow me to assuage your fears and tell you why you, too, will love having your boobies sucked.
First of all, the experience.
I love being woken up in the early morning by the squeaking, panting Lorax moving all of his limbs to tell me he's hungry. I move him toward the boob and, with mouth snapping in the pitch black, he sniffs his way to his target. There is nothing in the world like the feeling of breastfeeding and, though few women admit it, it actually feels good. If I say any more, people will probably find it a bit too kinky. I fall asleep immediately after he starts eating, soothed by his little warm body next to mine.
Second of all, it won't make your undercarriage dry (at least not for that long).
Undercarriage is the word SR uses with the older lady patients. But that's an aside. So you may have heard that breastfeeding dries out your, well, undercarriage. This may be true, at first. But the longer you breastfeed, the more normal you will become. And by five months you will probably find you feel completely normal. So don't give up on the breastfeeding before that!
The Lorax just grabbed my tit with his little hand and twisted it as I was typing the above. It hurt but it was fun.
It costs nothing. Except for the extra food you will need to buy for yourself.
You get to eat more.
Humans have evolved to be fed breast milk and breast milk has evolved to feed humans. The proper development of every part of the human body depends on getting it. You are fooling yourself if you believe formula is a good substitute. Formula does not contain antibodies to protect babies from infection. And there are over 100 other ingredients in breast milk that cannot be duplicated in formula. Those that can be added to formula are not in the same form and are not as easily digested and cause constipation.
This means a lot for a baby's development. Let's take brain development as one example:
Here are average IQ's at age 27 years for increasing lengths of breastfeeding:
Breastfed ≤1 month: 99.4
Breastfed ≥1 to 3 months: 101.7
Breastfed 4 to 6 months: 102.3
Breastfed 7 to 9 months: 106.0
Breastfed greater than 10 years: 140.8 (just kidding about this last one)
You can see my old post for all of the health risks of not breastfeeding. But they include asthma, diabetes, heart disease, obesity, etc.
Breastfeeding won't make you too tired to exercise. I have basically had the same energy level as I did before I got pregnant. I do feel it a bit more quickly, though, if I'm not eating a balanced diet.
You don't need to remember to bring a bottle and formula with you everywhere.
Your boobs will be bigger. I guess this could be a positive or a negative. I'll just leave it at that.
As long as you exclusively breastfeed, you can say that all of the precious cells in his little body came from you.
So I guess The Lorax is now composed of me and chocolate cupcake. Running Song of the Day: Det snurrar i min skalle by Familjen. Sweden has the best pop music in the world. But this song is special because it's actually in Swedish and, if that's not enough, the Swedish in it sounds so cool.

Love the picture of the Lorax. I liked your post and particularly liked the part about big boobs and how it can be a plus or negative however you look at it. I hate big boobs and of course mine were huge so I did not like it. I also had an extremely hard time nursing and quit at 3 months. I used to beat myself up about it because it seems like everywhere you look it's pro-breastfeeding but I'm over that. There were so many aspects I loved and a few I didn't (ie: big boobs and feeling tied to my baby 24/7). I think when/if there is a second, things will be better. I went three times to lactation specialists before finally giving up. Everyone was really helpful but nothing really helped my situation. Oh well.
One thing I would have to disagree with are studies which state that formula fed babies are more likely to be obese, have asthma, diabetes, have a lower IQ, other bad things, etc. I guess it's just my own opinion but to me, those things seem more related to lifestyle than breastfeeding. I was only breastfed for six months and am finishing up a Masters degree, am not overweight and don't have any diseases. It just reminds me of what Brian Williams said one night on the NBC Nightly News, "If you wait long enough, a study will come out which supports your way of thinking." Just my two cents.

I meant six weeks... not six months... and I am of course referring to when I was a child.
- 15 August 2008 at 01:42
- sea legs girl said...
Yeah, Abbie. I agree that lifestyle can increase your risk for those diseases more than the lack of breastfeeding ever could. But I don't think we can refute all of the high quality studies that have been done showing links. It is in respected medical literature, such as the New England Journal of Medicine. And it has been proven to the point that it is part of our guidelines as physicians.
All that being said, being the good, loving mother that I'm sure you are is infinitely more important.

Wishful thinking for me...my milk stopped at 4 months both times. I guess I'll have to try once more:)

I've known women who really wanted to breastfeed but for various reasons, despite much effort, it didn't work out. And, there are women who feel like it's a personal choice and choose not to and are offended by people pushing it on them. Kind of a sensitive topic it seems among moms. And I'm not one so this topic doesn't get me worked up :p
- 15 August 2008 at 18:03
- Allison Chapple said...
I think you're right, Danni. Although I plan to breastfeed my baby, what if I can't? What if there's some problem that prevents me from doing so? I think there is so much pressure to breastfeed that if you can't (or don't want to), you're made to feel bad for that choice. I do think it's healthy for the baby but it's also a personal choice.
- 15 August 2008 at 18:32
- Brianne said...
Yay breastfeeding! Though I have to say I don't exactly share your love for it. In my somewhat selfish life, it is probably the only thing I have done, and am doing, that is entirely selfless. I am counting down the days (13!) until the exclusive period is finished so I might get a break though I realize it will be quite a while before I'm finished. (At least until she's a year old.)
I miss my perfect, small, breasts. My "undercarriage" is still, ahem, far from normal - may have something to do with not having my cycle back. And I don't really like being bitten by toothless, yet strong jaws and being clawed by tiny, jagged fingernails. But that's just me. I do it anyway, though.
And I didn't feel pressure to do it. In fact, I feel like a bit of an outsider in the military community. I feel eyes boring into my soul when I feed her in public, no matter how discreet I may be.
You're right about energy. I don't feel like it affects my levels at all, even with a lot of exercise.
- 15 August 2008 at 20:30
- sea legs girl said...
Thanks for all of the comments. First of all, no one should feel guilty if they can't breastfeed. I tend to think it is a good policy to focus only on the things in life that we can change or have an effect on.
The purpose of this post was to help women out there make an informed decision. And to hear about other experiences.
I do have to agree with Brianne that one of the negative aspects of breastfeeding in public is "eyes boring into your soul" and I would add well-meaning people throwing blankets at you so you cover up more.

- Mark + Ash said...
I am 4 weeks til due date and recently took a breastfeeding class. The instructor said that the world-wide average age to which a child is breastfed is 3.5 years! Obviously, this number is driven by underdeveloped/developing areas. Can you imagine the stares people would give us in the US if we were breastfeeding a 3 year old...
- 15 August 2008 at 23:18
- H said...
I love breastfeeding!!!
- 15 August 2008 at 23:40
- SteveQ said...
Does a man dare comment?
The studies linking breastfeeding with lessened disease risks are merely correlative. In the US, length of breatfeeding runs along economic lines and that seems to be causative: poverty leads to poor health, wealth to better medical care. Also, women who nurse a long time tend to be more alert to health problems just from being with the child longer.
BTW, breastfed 6 months, IQ 174.
- 16 August 2008 at 20:23
- Abbie said...
Steveq... love the comment.
- 17 August 2008 at 04:21
- sea legs girl said...
Steve Q,
I have to respectfully disagree. Many people have thought what you wrote and a recent study I read was in a population of women that had previously exclusively forumla fed. Then, for the study, half were forced to breastfeed. The same difference in IQ existed between the two groups as had been seen in previous studies. Who know if it's the components of breast milk or the act of breastfeeding. But does it matter?
Second, there have been a plethora of studies linking formula feeding (vs. breastfeeding) to adult disease. I refer to you a review article from less than two months ago published in the New England Journal that showed clear links between formula feeding and increased obesity and diabetes. Here's the link:
Gluckman, et al. "Effect of In Utero and Early-Life Conditions on Adult Health and Disease"
N Engl J Med 359:61, July 3, 2008 Review Article
It has now been clearly sorted out that it is not just socioeconomic factors that cause the difference in health and development in breastfed babies.
And that is one high IQ. But just imagine if you had just been breastfed three more months! I'm just kidding. But are you serious about that IQ!? (interrobang)
- 17 August 2008 at 05:46
- SteveQ said...
The NEJM article appears to me simply a restatement that epigenetic factors exist; I'll have to go back to their sources, as it's impossible to determine anything from the review. The other study you quoted is new to me - without having read it, I'll reserve judgment.
Yeah, the IQ was measured at 174 (Cattell scale) at age 10 and 158 (Terman) at age 12. I don't usually mention it because people have odd reactions to the fact.
I'm living proof that IQ is no determinant of success.
- 18 August 2008 at 17:39
- SteveQ said...
Just read the Am. J. Clin. Nut. article that removed income and 12 other variables - it's not very good science.
Let's just agree that breastfeeding is best.
- 18 August 2008 at 18:59
- H said...
Re: IQ debate---- I was bottle fed from the beginning (premature, and back then they supported formula only for preemies). My IQ is 138 on the scale where 140 = genius. Can I blame my mom on my missing that line? ;)
I'm not sure of all the benefits but it is obvious that breastfeeding is by far the best option for your child, if you can. (And for yourself! Hello weight loss and happy-mommy-hormones!)
- 18 August 2008 at 22:02
- sea legs girl said...
Just wanted to give anyone who was interested the reference to the breast vs. bottle feeding and IQ study I was referring to.
Arch Gen Psychiatry. 2008;65:578-584.
I don't actually know of that American Journal of Clinical Nutrition article, Steve.
And Heather, Just curious how much of a premie you were. Studies I have read show that 34 weeks or greater and babies are pretty much normal in terms of IQ, but earlier than than IQ drops precipitously depending on how early the baby is born.
- 20 August 2008 at 01:10
- Kate said...
glad it's going well for you! i am impressed with your running, b/c it took me until about the 9 month mark to be able to get up and run in the a.m. (before baby awoke, and w/out having nursed in the middle of the night (thank god)).
it's too bad that breastfeeding has to be such a touchy subject. seems hard to say "breast is best" without offending those who eventually formula feed, or were not able to bf in the first place.
after pumping at work for 7 months (and hating it - c'mon, who likes to pump?), I have a new appreciation for moms who have to go back to work and don't have nearly the pumping-friendly set up that I did -- my own office, with a door.
- 20 August 2008 at 04:02
- Allison Chapple said...
I was watching a program on "pregorexia" today (basically a non clinical term for woman who develop EDs during pregnancy) and there was mention of the fact that mom's calorie restriction during pregnancy was correlated with lower IQs in baby. I only bring this up to say that there are probably a million and one reasons we have the IQs that we do. Correlation is different than cause and effect. I still would argue that breast is best, but I think there is a lot more that contributes to a person's intelligence than simply if they were breastfed or not.

Sea Legs --
I was two months premature. (32 weeks)
Other than not having fully formed lungs though - I was in NICU for that - I was alright and my development was ahead of the curve.

1941 Plymouth Pickup Truck - Rare Commodity
Paul Christensen's '41 Plymouth Pickup Truck Is A Seldom-Seen Beauty
One little-known Mopar fact is that Plymouth built pickup trucks. These "Job Rated," or commercial class, vehicles became part of the Mayflower lineup in 1937, and featured a half-ton capacity from the factory; if outfitted with another manufacturer's box, the rating could go as high as a full ton. The PT50 Chassis, complete with cab, cost a paltry $495, which meant you could order a new Plymouth commercial vehicle with everything except the bed (it did, however, include the rear fenders) for under $500! For 1938, the Plymouth PT was again available without the bed but the cost increased to $560, and for an extra $25, you could get the bed with your cab. For 1941, the PT was coded 125. The 116-inch wheelbase was the same as the previous year, but the horsepower rose from a whopping 79 to 82.5. The newly designed grille and headlights, which were moved outward, gave it a new identity as well that year. With basic equipment, the PT-125 sold for $625, and 6,073 complete-bodied Plymouth trucks were sold as the storm clouds of World War II gathered. This would mark the final year that Plymouth would produce a pickup truck.
One of that final group which survived that war, the Cold War, hippies, and hot-rodding is now owned by Thousand Oaks, California, resident Paul Christensen. This truck is the 379th truck of 599 total that rolled off the Los Angeles assembly line, and it was originally sold to a Moorpark, California, resident named Bud Ferguson. From 1941 on, this truck served him well, and he kept it almost 50 years. In fact, the truck remained in his possession until August 1989, when Paul purchased the rare hauler. Many times, it's almost impossible to fight the urge to modify such solid iron, but Paul wanted it to be a true restoration.
The cab, together with the bed, came off the frame and went north to Fred's Autobody in Pocoima, Washington, where the seasoned metal was straightened out and replaced, if necessary. This was then covered in Dodge Truck Red (an original '41 color) lacquer paint. The 218ci L-6 engine was completely rebuilt to stock specs and even sports the optional (yes, optional) oil filter. The factory manual three-speed transmission still sends the horses to the then-newfangled hypoid rear with 3.73 gears, while the "posh" interior consists of a black vinyl seat over a black vinyl floormat and a few simple gauges to monitor the engine. Utilitarian, indeed.
Now relegated to enjoyment rides around the So-Cal area, this little hauler is no longer being feed from the mill or lumber from the yard, but is a rolling history lesson of how things once were. Paul's truck is a seldom-seen version of Plymouth's ability to satisfy the marketplace, and even V8 diehards have to admit that this is one 60-year-old Mopar that is perfect just the way it is.

Throughout the day, Film on the Rocks' host, the Denver Film Society, is using its texting platform to raise funds for the Aurora Victim Relief Fund.
"Being the largest film organization in Colorado, we felt compelled to do something and thought we could use the platform of Film on the Rocks to to collect donations," said Denver Film Society's Britta Erickson. The one-day donation drive is called Day of Giving. Five dollar contributions can be made by simply texting DFS to 50555 and donors can provide a personal message with their donation.
Monday night's flick, the Will Farrell comedy "Anchorman," is nearly sold out, Erickson said Friday. "We think we can raise a pretty good chunk, before the screening."
Community First Foundation, which administers the Aurora Victim Relief Fund and the givingfirst.org online donation site, announced earlier that the fund has received over $3 million.
"DFS felt the need to use the collective power of our large film-loving community to raise much needed funds for the victims and families of the Aurora theater tragedy," Erickson added in an email. "We individually and as an organization, like all in the metro area, the state, and the nation, were devastated and deeply saddened to awaken last Friday morning to the horrible news and there was immediate resolve amongst the whole staff and board to use our next Film on the Rocks presentation as a catalyst to not only honor the victims but to assist however we could."

As with last week's announcement, Marvel didn't give any indication of which film will premiere on that date, vacated earlier today by Sony's "Amazing Spider-Man 4." However, the calendar is expected to fill in somewhat Saturday during Marvel's highly anticipated Hall H presentation at Comic-Con International.
Director Scott Derrickson's "Doctor Strange" has been tipped for the July 8, 2016, slot, but after that, the schedule gets hazy. We can expect third installments of "The Avengers" and "Thor," and likely another "Guardians of the Galaxy," but the remaining blanks seem destined to go to new franchises — perhaps solo movies for the likes of Black Panther, Black Widow or Captain Marvel?
Here are the Marvel release dates announced so far:
Aug. 1, 2014: "Guardians of the Galaxy"
May 2, 2015: "Avengers: Age of Ultron"
July 17, 2015: "Ant-Man"
May 6, 2016: "Captain America 3" [not official title]
July 8, 2016: Untitled film
May 5, 2017: Untitled film

TEPALCATEPEC, Mexico (AP) — Mexico's government on Saturday began demobilizing a vigilante movement of assault-rifle-wielding ranchers and farmers that had succeeded in largely expelling the Knights Templar cartel from the western state of Michoacan when authorities couldn't.
At a ceremony in the town of Tepalcatepec, where the movement began in February 2013, officials handed out new pistols, rifles and uniforms to 120 self-defense group members who were sworn into a new official rural police force.
"Now we are part of the government. Now we can defend ourselves with weapons in a legal way," said the movement's spokesman, Estanislao Beltran, during the ceremony on the grounds of a local rancher's association.
The government hopes creation of the new rural force will end the Wild West chapter of the self-defense movement, in which civilians built roadblocks and battled cartel members for towns in the rich farming area called the "Tierra Caliente," or Hot Land.
The nature of the new force is still unclear. But the federal commissioner for Michoacan, Alfredo Castillo, said Saturday it had already been in action Friday evening in a clash with false self-defense groups — even before the swearing-in ceremonies in Tepalcatepec and the town of Buenavista.
Castillo told members of the new rural force they would "have the responsibility of defending your neighbors from delinquency and organized crime."
The government had found itself in an embarrassing situation: Elected leaders and law enforcement agencies had lost control of the state to the pseudo-religious Knights Templar drug cartel. Efforts to regain control with federal police and military failed. Eventually government forces had to rely on the vigilantes because of their knowledge of where to find the cartel gunmen.
Since the commissioner was named in January, federal forces have arrested or killed three of the main leaders of the Knights Templar. The fourth, Servando "La Tuta" Gomez, is in hiding and rumored to be in the rugged hills outside his hometown of Arteaga.
But the vigilante movement has been plagued by divisions, and its general council dismissed one of the founders, Dr. Jose Manuel Mireles, as its spokesman earlier this week because of an unauthorized video he released directed at President Enrique Pena Nieto.
Another founder, Hipolito Mora, is in jail accused of the murder of two alleged rivals. Castillo told Mexico's Radio Formula on Friday that he is also investigating claims that Mireles was involved in the killing of five vigilantes near Lazaro Cardenas on April 27.
And some of the self-defense groups plan to continue as they are, defending their territory without registering their arms. Vigilantes against the demobilization have set up roadblocks in the coastal town of Caleta and other parts of the region near the port of Lazaro Cardenas.
"We don't want them to come, we don't recognize them," vigilante Melquir Sauceda said of the government and the new rural police forces. "Here we can maintain our own security. We don't need anyone bringing it from outside."
There were indications that cartel members were trying to take advantage of that standoff.
Castillo said state and federal troops, backed for the first time by the rural force, detained 155 people "who were trying to pass as self-defense groups."
Beltran said those arrested were members of organized crime gangs.
A vigilante group member who had been manning a roadblock in the area earlier Friday told The Associated Press that his group's members retreated to their homes when the police arrived about 8 p.m. and then heard heavy shooting involving another unknown group.
The man, who refused to give his name for fear of reprisals, said his group's members were not battling the government and were hiding in their homes for protection.
Meanwhile, no one is giving up their guns, even assault weapons prohibited under Mexican law, though the ex-vigilantes are supposed to register their guns with the government.
Vigilante Irineo Mendoza, 44, drove down from his mountain hometown of Aguililla to register his gun with authorities this week. He plans to take the weapon back home with him because, he says, the Knights Templar remain hidden in the mountains.
"These are the guns we are going to fight them with," Mendoza said.
Authorities said that more than 6,000 guns in the hands of vigilante groups had been registered so far. The coordinator general of the self-defense forces, Alberto Gutierrez, said the process of disarming the not-legalized vigilante groups will begin on Sunday and the new rural police force along with federal forces will be in charge of carrying it out.
Many predict little will change after Saturday.
"This (demobilization) agreement is just something to please the government," said Rene Sanchez, 22, a vigilante from the self-defense stronghold of Buenavista. "With them or without them, we are going to keep at it."

DEFIANCE, Ohio – Defiance College stormed out of the gates on Saturday at Coressel Stadium, bolting to a 10-0 lead against Anderson before waiting out an 85-minute delay and finishing off a 30-7 Homecoming victory against the Ravens.
The continued dominance by DC over Anderson on the gridiron marked the first victory for head coach Brian Sheehan at the helm of the Defiance College football program and extended the Jackets' current win streak against the Ravens to eight-straight victories.
Defiance came out clicking on all cylinders, forcing a fast three-and-out by AU and finding the end zone seven plays later for an early 7-0 lead. Garrett Teague capped the 83-yard drive by finding Sam Mason for his first collegiate reception and a 26-yard touchdown.
The Yellow Jacket defense then pushed Anderson back 13 yards on its next possession and extended the gap to 10-0 on a career-high, 33-yard field goal off the foot of Spencer Saunders.
Weather then halted the onslaught, as lightning forced the game to stop at the 6:32 mark of the first quarter. The delay stalled a dominant showing on both sides of the ball by the Purple and Gold, as DC had held Anderson to minus-10 yards on eight offensive plays, while racking up 10 points and 87 total yards on 10 offensive snaps.
The Ravens finally broke through after play resumed, as a fumbled snap by DC was scooped up by Jeremy Martin and returned 23 yards for a touchdown to trim the Defiance lead to 10-7 with 1:50 left in the opening quarter.
The Yellow Jackets would reclaim control with a pair of quick scores to open the second quarter. The first strike came on a 30-yard touchdown completion from Teague to Jon Carrabino that pushed the spread back to 10 points. Matt Forry then dove on a loose ball two plays later to give DC possession on the AU 27-yard marker and Saunders capitalized by splitting the uprights from 28 yards out to make it a 20-7 cushion with 7:27 to play in the half.
Saunders would then connect from 22 yards out to cap Defiance's first touch of the second half and push the margin to 23-7, before Trevon Burrell broke loose down the Anderson sideline for a 33-yard touchdown run. The score came nine seconds into the fourth quarter and capped a string of 20-unanswered points by the Purple and Gold over the final 46:05 of action.
The DC defense was the story, as the Jackets held Anderson without an offensive touchdown on the afternoon and limited the Ravens to 139 total yards of offense and only 19 yards rushing.
D.J. Brigham led the dominant showing, notching seven of his nine tackles via the solo variety and racking up a pair of sacks and 3.5 tackles for negative yardage. Gregg Pickett also played well in the trenches with a team-leading 10 tackles, one sack, two hits for lost yardage and a trio of quarterback hurries. Andrew Leverenz ended with seven stops, one sack and four hurries, while Blaine McGowan added one sack of his own.
DC ended with five sacks and 10 quarterback hurries in the victory, while also piling up 12 tackles for a loss that resulted in 70 negative yards for the AU offense.
Burrell powered the attack for Defiance, carrying the ball 13 times for a career-high 87 yards and his first collegiate score, while Carrabino and Mason each hauled in one touchdown through the air.
Saunders also had a career-day, booting three field goals in as many attempts and connecting on a trio of point-after tries for a total of 12 points on the afternoon.
Defiance (1-3, 1-1 HCAC) will look to make it two in a row when it travels to Richmond, Ind., on Saturday, September 29 for a 2:00 pm start against Earlham (0-4, 0-2 HCAC).

Comets: Remnants of the Beginning
The Epoxi mission will fly by a comet to unlock secrets on how the solar system formed.
Comets are the most spectacular thing in the sky, at least, in the night time sky (music)
Comets are important because they represent the leftover bits and pieces from the outer solar system formation process, which took place four and a half billion years ago. As the planets formed, the first thing you got was tiny clumps of dust in the inner solar system, and in the outer system, dust and ice.
The comets are what made the cores of Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune. But the planets are so hot that the chemistry changes completely, whereas the comets have remained frozen the entire time so that the chemistry is preserved. Comets are basically made up of a number of different regions; a dirty ice ball, relatively small and black. When it gets near the sun these ices start vaporizing, which forms a atmosphere. And then, when some of these dust particles are blown back away from the sun because of the pressure of sunlight, you form a dust tail and often a gas or ion tail.
Comets and asteroids have always gotten bad press. The dinosaurs checked out 65 million years ago because of an asteroid impact. But what we don't hear about, is how important these objects are in terms of bringing the building blocks of life to the early planet. Comets almost certainly brought most of the organic material and much of the water to Earth.
In a sense, we wouldn't even be here without comets and asteroids. Scientists like to put objects in boxes. Comets should look this way. Asteroids should look this way. But Mother Nature keeps knocking the boxes over and saying, no it doesn't look that way. The few comets that we've seen, they all are very different from one another. So the question is, are all these objects different from one another? The Epoxi mission is an extended mission for the Deep Impact flyby spacecraft. After we went past comet Temple 1 and drove an impactor into it, we spent a year or more observing extrasolar planets and we are now on target for a flyby of comet Hartley 2. Which is interesting in the sense that it's one of the smallest objects we've seen and it's thought to be active over 100% of its surface. If we understand the comets really well, it will tell us how all the planets got made. That's why we choose comets to study.

I tried making and running live Ubuntu zip drive and succeeded but somehow i messed up my previous MBR, HDD drivers, file system or maybe something else while trying to make a dual boot system. Now i am able to see my HDD from Ubuntu zip drive but windows 7(ultimate 64 bit) which was already installed and running prior to all this started to crash on every boot, also when i tried to repair it, some error came up, then again i tried to boot it from windows 7 bootable disc, its not detecting my HDD, althought i can see my partitions still there with diskpart command from command prompt through that disc.
I have a 500GB SATA HDD Seagate Previously it was partitioned as: 700KB 100MB C 63GB D 100GB E 100GB F 197GB
Now from running command prompt with a bootable win 7 disc and executing DISKPART command with select disk 0 and list partition commands i am getting
partition 1 700KB partition 2 100MB partition 3 63GB partition 4 437GB(Not exact)
I have some very important data scattered in partitions other than c: which is fully dedicated to windows.
So please help/guide me to bring my previous windows 7 back or reinstall it without effecting my data.
Or if it is not possible please tell how i can erase that 63GB partition and re-install windows 7 from scratch using command prompt since in GUI mode my HDD is undetectable.
Thank you.

We have launched a social media campaign to help in the global fight against Malaria. We have both been involved with the fight aganist Malaria on the ground and have seen the devastation of this disease. Every 30 seconds a child in Africa dies of Malaria; bringing the death toll of Malaria to almost a million children a year. Help us change that!
social media users (facebook) in a demographic of 16-25
We are looking for a set of characters for an online game we currently have under development. They will all be child-like, mostly African, and should all be happy, cute and positively inspiring personas. These characters will be collected through the game and therefore need to be collectible in the sense that they share an overarching style but differ in distinct features.
In a first instance, we will need 20 unique characters and the winner of the contest should have the capacity to finish them in a short timeframe. FOR THIS CONTEST, we are looking for a set of 5 little characters. (The other 15 will be separately compensated).
For now, to win this competition, we want to see the following 5 characters:
1) Mosamba (African boy)
2) Tanesha (African girl)
3) Amadi (African girl)
4) Baback Orama (An African-child version of Barack Obama, maybe behind a little podium, giving a speech)
5) Tangerina Jolly (An African child version of Angelina Jolie, maybe with huge sunglasses, long hair, exquisite clothing)
A size around 70px(w) x 120(h) is totally sufficient
We recommend you start with one character so we can tell you whether it goes in the right direction. We're happy to give detailed and immediate feedback and really want to make this a highly interactive process.
We are looking forward to your submissions. Thank you all a lot in advance!

The French Government is trying to implement some reforms to its retirement and pension program. The reforms would basically increase the retirement age from 60 current to 62 and then raise the age pensioners can receive full state pension from 65 to 67. All this is set to get activated not today but in 2018. Sounds simple in theory but then why are the French revolting. One possible explanation could be that well , they are French and they love to strike, for every possible thing, and for every possible opportunity. The strikes often turn violent and rioting and vandalism are quite common. Maybe, its because the French are socialists and the Americans are obviously capitalists. Is that all?
This is more of a cultural and ideological issue than anything else. Living in the United States, I have not seen an actual strike and I hope to never see one. Apart from the occasional well organized parades and some processions, I am yet to see trash pile up, streets go uncleaned for weeks and gas stations remain closed with no end in sight. Hard work and personal responsibility are the core of the American value system and this is something that will never go away. Is the American quality of life much better than in France. I have no answer to this question. Personally, I can say without doubt that I would live nowhere else but just for kicks here is a short comparison. You decide.
United States : Average of 12 paid vacation days a year, start work at 16-18 and retirement is usually at 65, although some are putting it away for a few more years to ensure income and savings. Pensions do not exist except in some professions and social security is rarely enough to pay for expenses. Health care is not universal and incredibly expensive especially as you get older. Work hours 40-60hours a week and overtime may sometimes apply.
France : Must take 35 days of minimum paid vacation for most this averages 60 days of paid vacation days that must be utilized. Retirement age is 60 and well they are in the process of rioting and striking against plans to increase that to 62. Pensions are standard and plentiful. Health care is universal and free. Work is limited to a maximum of 35 hours a week and overtime is forbidden.

Five early candidates with Denver Pioneers ties to succeed George Gwozdecky
If Denver wants George Gwozdecky's successor to be someone familiar with the tradition-rich program, the following five ex-Pioneers players and coaches will likely have preliminary conversations with the search committee:
1. Mike Corbett, Air Force associate head coach — Former Frank Serratore-recruited DU defenseman has been Serratore's right-hand man since 2003, helping lead the Falcons to five NCAA Tournaments in the past seven years. Corbett, 41, played his final three seasons for Gwozdecky (1994-97) and is known as an excellent recruiter and player's coach who demands structure and discipline. He was married and raised a child while at DU.


text: I had a misdemeanor incident when I was 15. I know you should write a letter stating all the conviction you have had, but I was wondering if this should be done in a statement like form or simply listed, stating when, where, why you did it. Should the disclosure statement be separate from the addendum, or do you state it in the addendum as well. If so, how would you go about doing that? thanks.

Today is World Wetlands Day – an opportunity to highlight the importance of wetlands, the biodiversity they contain, and the benefits that we gain from them. So what makes wetlands attract so much attention?
Wetlands – areas of marsh, fen, peatland and so on, are considered the most biologically-diverse of all ecosystems. According to IUCN's Freshwater Biodiversity Unit, an estimated 126,000 described species rely on freshwater habitats, including species of fishes, molluscs, reptiles, insects, plants, and mammals. Almost 45% of all fishes live in freshwater and about 25% of all molluscs are freshwater species. An estimated 15,000 fish, 4,300 amphibians and 5,600 Odonata (dragonflies and damselflies) depend on freshwater habitats.
Wetlands provide us with a wide range of services, many of which are essential to our survival. Recharging of groundwater reservoirs, water purification and waste treatment, flood control and storm protection, fisheries and recreational opportunities offered by wetlands are valued at US$14 trillion annually. But wetlands are extremely vulnerable to human activity. Agriculture, urban and industrial development, introduction of invasive species, pollution and over-exploitation all contribute to their ongoing degradation.
The theme of this year's World Wetlands Days is 'wetlands, biodiversity and climate change.' Climate change is a growing threat to wetland biodiversity. Coastal wetlands such as salt marshes and mangroves are likely to be affected by sea level rise and increased damage from coastal flooding through storms and tidal surges will occur in many areas. At the same time, wetlands play an important role in helping us fight climate and adapt to its impacts by storing carbon and offering protection from sea level rise.

We all rely on wetlands in some way, but the poorest communities, particularly those whose survival depends on the food and water provided by wetlands, are most directly affected by the loss of wetland ecosystem services.

EMR18 in Phoenix What You Need to Know
Celebrating 40 years in business has been a lot of fun, but perhaps the best fun is when it's spent with you at Forever's home in the USA! This year, we are thrilled to invite our esteemed Eagle Managers for training, celebration and networking in our home town of Phoenix, Arizona.
Every year, Eagle Manager's Retreat brings together FBOs from all over the world to learn about the power of aloe vera and our products, hear exciting announcements about the company and train on innovative business techniques and motivation that can bolster success for the rest of the year. They say the power of Eagle Manager is what it does for your business, which is why so many of our FBOs who qualify go on to achieve the Chairman's Bonus incentive!
The Logistics
EMR18 will be hosted at the Westin Kierland Resort & Spa, which is located in Scottsdale. The resort will host each group with spectacular amenities and restaurants for Eagles to play just as hard as they work. It will also serve as the locations for activities and training during their stay.
Two groups will head to Phoenix for a few days for a training, tours of our Forever Home Office and Forever Nutraceutical, home of our nutritional supplement manufacturing, and the Forever Palooza, a Forever music festival to celebrate their achievements.
Group 1 arrives the 7th of October and departs on the 10th. Countries who are part of this first group include: Argentina, Australia, Baltics, Bangladesh, Bolivia, Bulgaria, Ecuador, Greece, Hong Kong, Hungary, Israel, Italy, Japan, North America, Malaysia, Mongolia, Paraguay, Peru, Philippines, Poland, Russia, Scandinavia, Slovakia, Spain, Taiwan, Turkey, UAE and Ukraine.
Group 2 arrives on the 10th of October and departs on the 13th. Countries who are part of this group include: Benelux, Brazil, Cameroon, DACH, DRC, Cote D'Ivoire, East Africa, France, Ghana, India, Ireland, Nigeria, Romania, Senegal, South Africa, UK, Portugal and Vietnam.
Training at EMR is the best you can possibly get. Global leaders not only travel to our EMR destination with very specific training topics designed especially for serious business builders, but they also are prepared to help new leaders emerge. EMR training is so exclusive because you have to be at a certain level of business volume to get there in the first place and once you're there, you're part of an elite crowd.
It's no wonder that the power of Eagle Manager can be felt in the energy of the event. As soon as Eagles land and begin checking into their hotel, you will see them networking, catching up and sharing business stories almost immediately.

Maybe we're easily impressed, but the idea of a ruler with a handle on its face has us all infatuated. We have grand visions of measuring and marking everything in sight with extreme ease.
If you've ever done anything around the house that requires measuring, you know that keeping a ruler in place can sometimes be a hassle, especially if the surface is slick. Either that, or fingers get away as you try to grip the shallow edges of the ruler, hoping to keep it steady. And as many other rulers have implemented, there's a level to make sure you don't mistakenly mount a crooked shelf or make an errant cut. And at only $US15 bucks, you won't break the bank.

Solar Trade War, Here We Come
- Order Reprints
- Print Article
Looks like China and Europe won't be able to work out a deal to avoid a solar trade war after all. The Wall Street Journalhas the details:
Talks on resolving a multibillion-dollar trade dispute between the European Union and China over solar panels have reached an impasse, EU officials said, with a deadline looming that would see EU import tariffs on solar energy gear spike, raising the threat that Beijing would retaliate with tariffs on European goods.
The negotiations are intended to avert a broader trade war. If successful, they would spare China's politically sensitive solar-energy industry the turmoil of seeing its products face average EU tariffs of nearly 48% starting Aug. 6, the date the European Commission, the EU's executive arm, set for those tariffs to come into force. The commission temporarily imposed lower tariffs of 11.8% last month while negotiating a settlement that would avoid tariffs and instead impose minimum prices and other conditions on Chinese solar-equipment exports to the 28-nation EU.
Still, China's solar stocks appear to be holding up better than would be expected. Yingli Green Energy (YGE) has dropped 2.1% to $3.74, Canadian Solar (CSIQ) has fallen 0.4% to $11.23, Trina Solar (TSL) has dipped 0.6% to $6.96 and LDK Solar (LDK) is off 1% at $1.46. The iShares FTSE China 25 Index (FXI) has fallen 2.9% to $33.17.

CU-Boulder says product placement in TV comedies works
Product placement in TV comedies works better than you think.
You think you're wise to product placements in sitcoms, right? You think you've built an immunity to the advertising of brands paraded quietly through scenes on TV comedies? Not so fast.
The University of Colorado at Boulder has found in three studies that "consumers who watch television sitcoms and see product placements through covert marketing have better memories of the products and better attitudes toward the brands." Even though we think we're "correcting" for the marketers' influence.
Even though we know marketing experts are paying big bucks to get their products in front of our faces, we are apparently still suckers for the ploy. If we're told ahead of time to beware of covert advertising we "correct" for the persuasion; if we're told afterward we "correct" but to a different degree. It all gets a bit fuzzy in the details.
"Frankly, we were a bit surprised at the power of covert marketing across a variety of studies," said Margaret C. Campbell, professor of marketing at CU-Boulder's Leeds School of Business and lead author of the article appearing online this month in the Journal of Consumer Psychology. "Even though most U.S. consumers know that marketers pay to surreptitiously get their brands in front of consumers, consumers are still influenced by covert marketing efforts."
The authors of the studies suggest they've turned up more evidence that disclosure of this sort of stealth marketing to consumers should be required.

Tension between Pakistan and the United States over a US air strike that killed 24 Pakistani soldiers grew Sunday as the two sides offered widely disparate accounts of what might have taken place.
NATO officials said Afghan and US troops operating inside Afghanistan early Saturday had been fired on from the Pakistani side of the border and had requested close air support to help defend themselves. What happened next is still under investigation, officials said.
But Pakistan's chief military spokesman said he did not believe that there had been any fire directed at the Americans from Pakistan and said he did not believe the attack could have been inadvertent.
Major Gen. Athar Abbas said the military outpost on a mountain top at Salala in the Mohmand part of Pakistan near the Afghan border was well marked on maps that both Pakistan and NATO have and that the US air assault lasted for more than an hour.
"I cannot rule out the possibility that this was a deliberate attack by ISAF," Abbas said, referring to NATO's International Security Assistance Force by its acronym. "If ISAF was receiving fire, then they must tell us what their losses were."
No NATO casualties have been acknowledged in Saturday's clash. A military official in Washington identified the NATO forces involved as American.
The Saturday incident was by far the worst to date between the two supposed allies along the rugged Afghan-Pakistani border and sent US-Pakistani relations to their lowest point since the May raid on Osama bin Laden's hideout, when US troops entered Pakistan without notifying Pakistani officials and killed the al Qaida leader in the Pakistani city of Abbottabod. US officials believe bin Laden had lived for years in Abbottabod, the site of the Pakistan's premier military academy.
In Pakistan, a nation already bursting with anti-Americanism, public opinion was further riled by images of the funeral of the soldiers killed, which filled television screens Sunday. The army chief, Gen. Ashfaq Kayani, considered Pakistan's most powerful man, attended the funeral services at a military base in Peshawar as did the top civilian officials from the north west.
Television images showed 24 coffins laid out on a lawn, each wrapped in a Pakistan flag. Each coffin was carried away by an honor guard to be buried in the soldiers' home towns and villages.
In a statement, NATO Secretary General Anders Fogh Rasmussen called Saturday's events a "tragic unintended incident." But NATO provided no details on what took place, and US Army Col. Greg Julian, a NATO spokesman, said officials are still trying to determine what happened after the joint US and Afghanistan army units took fire from inside Pakistan.
US officials in Washington, after a flurry of statements offering condolences Saturday, made no pronouncements Sunday.
The Pakistan positions hit are located about 300 yards inside Pakistan, Abbas said. The attack lasted for more than an hour, Abbas said, during which ISAF troops made "no attempt" to contact the Pakistani side using the established border co-ordination system. He said that the map references to the Pakistani positions had been previously passed to ISAF.
"This was a totally unprovoked attack. There are no safe havens or hideouts left there (for militants) in Mohmand," Abbas said. "This was a visible, well-made post, on top of ridges, made of concrete. Militants don't operate from mountain tops, from concrete structures."
Taliban fighters often use Pakistan's tribal area as a sanctuary, from which to launch artillery or rockets, or as a place to retreat under fire from NATO.
In the past, much confusion has been caused by insurgents firing into Afghanistan from positions close to Pakistani check points, making it appear to NATO and Afghan troops that they are coming under attack from the Pakistani positions.
In an incident last year, Pakistani soldiers shot into the air to warn NATO helicopters that they had crossed the border, but that was mistaken by the aircraft crew for incoming fire.
ISAF commanders, however, suspect that Pakistani forces look the other way when their territory is being used by Afghan insurgents, or even actively collude in the attacks. Pakistan angrily denies the charge.
The Pakistani military has repeatedly proclaimed that it has cleared Mohmand of Taliban and other extremists, only to have to launch new operations. Local anti-Taliban militias operate in Mohmand to try to keep the extremists away.
Earlier this month, Maj. Gen. Daniel Allyn, who commands troops along Afghanistan's eastern border with Pakistan, told reporters at the Pentagon that there are on average three to four cross border attacks a week. Most are blamed on the Taliban-allied Haqqani network, which US officials have claimed is allowed to operate in Pakistan.
Pakistan announced Saturday that it would "review" all military, intelligence and diplomatic co-operation with the United States and ISAF forces in response to the incident.
Pakistan also closed its border with Afghanistan to trucks carrying supplies for ISAF and announced that American forces would be expelled from Shamsi, a remote air base in Pakistan secretly turned over to US forces after the 9/11 attacks and used as a launching point for the US's highly controversial drone program.
On Sunday, Pakistan raised the possibility that it would also boycott next month's international Bonn conference, which is supposed to chalk out Afghanistan's future.
Tehmina Janjua, the spokesperson for Ministry of Foreign Affairs, said the Bonn issue is "is being examined and no decision has yet been taken in this regard." The conference is scheduled to begin Dec. 5. Pakistan's cooperation is considered vital for stabilizing Afghanistan and bringing the Taliban into negotiations.

Fit Mommy Friday - Challenge Week 1
I'm very excited with the strong turn-out the Fit Mommy Challenge has received! It's inspiring to see so many of you jump back in the game and work to finish the year off strong. :)
So, how was everyone's first week? Were you been able to stick to your goals/plans fairly easily? I've been so impressed with how many of you are posting on Facebook or sending private emails to me about your progress. Keep it up! :)
My week has gone really well. I've worked out 5 days this week focusing on variety and intensity:
Monday: The Biggest Loser: Bootcamp (I haven't used this video in forever and it killed me!)
Tuesday: Jillian Michaels' "No More Trouble Zones" (Really hurt after Monday's workout...ouch)
Wednesday: Winsor Pilates Accelerated Workout (Still sore, but not too bad.)
Thursday: Cardio--exercise bike for 45 mins (Okay, yeah. I'm back to being sore. Time to sit 'n be fit!)
Friday: Cardio -- exercise bike for 60 mins. (See Thursday...)
And thanks to not eating past 6pm (as well as a fair amount of stress--but we won't get into that), I've lost 2 pounds. Neat!!! My nutrition has been better--not perfect, but certainly better. I haven't had any Reese's peanut butter cups (which is saying a lot, considering they're on sale absolutely everywhere right now!), been drinking a considerable amount of water, and--drum roll, please--going easy on the chai. (Yes, it hurts.)
I realized to my shock and horror, that I've failed to actually post my challenge goals. Although I'm exempt from winning the prize, I still have a few goals I'd like to achieve. Here they are...
1. To firm up my middle abs (you know, the ones that are still kinda "soft and squishy" from having babies!). My obliques and lower abs are solid. It's just the darn middle part surrounding the ol' belly button that's got me irritated! ;-)
2. To firm up the back of my upper thighs and turn the "bulge" into muscle.
3. To lose 1 inch off my hips/waist.
Okay! That should just about do it. ;-)
Now get ready to link up and share your progress with the rest of us!

Well, as I said in my blog post, stomach flu and healthy eating/active lifestyle don't really go hand in hand... but I lost three pounds (the bright side of a dark week?)
I'm slowly getting back to the land of the living... so I'm only going to make good choices, and maybe this 3lb start will stick around and help me towards my goal of 15 lbs gone. ??? ;o)

You're my hero when it comes to workouts. ;) Someday...
How do you manage the not eating after 6? What time does your family eat supper? I think, no I know, I would be starving if I didn't eat something in the evening.
I too want to have the nice, firm abs once again.

So as a recipient of the award I will attempt to list ten things I have learned about any of my ancestors that has surprised me, humbled me, or enlightened me ==>
1. I was surprised to learn that my gr-great grandfather William Henry Piggott was arrested for cutting timber on Uncle Sam's domain
2.I was surprised to learn that hubby and I are 25th cousins. We are both descended from Somerled, King of the South Isles.
3. I was surprised to learn that I am 10th cousins with my daughter-in-law through John Wing and Martha Spooner.
4. I was surprised to learn from the divorce records of Mary Edwards and her polygamous 3rd husband Charles B. Taylor that he claimed she was a drunkard. (The jury is still out on that one, I don't know if I believe him.)
5. I was surprised to learn that my 2nd great-grandfather, Thomas Cotton Smedley did not die in 1851 as we were led to believe. He sailed across the ocean blue with his son and daughter-in-law in 1857 who failed to mention this to his kids or grandkids. (I am still trying to figure out what they were hiding.)
6. I was surprised to learn from reading the postcards that great-grandma Piggott saved that she had a boy that was very interested in her and tried to woo her away from my great-grandpa before they were married.
7. I was surprised (more like saddened and disappointed) that I am the only one who signed the guest book of my x-husband's aunt Dorothy Marie Olsen who died March 9, 2010.
8. I am very humbled by the fact that my Welsh 3rd great-grandmother, Mary Edwards lost her first husband while making the voyage from Liverpool to the U.S. after only a year of marriage, and then was widowed again when my 3rd great-grandfather, George Cannon died away from home after only 4 months of marriage. She was about 3 months pregnant with my 2nd great-grandmother, Elizabeth Cannon Piggott at the time. I believe she was a very strong woman who endured more than her share of loss, including being disowned by her father for joining the L.D.S. church. (By the way, she is the woman on the Ancestor Approved Award.)
Sorry, but I just can't think of two other things. (shame on me)
Now I pass this award on to ten more wonderful genealogy and or family history bloggers that are doing their ancestors proud in no particular order ==>
- Cindy Bergeron Scherwinski at In My Life
- Diane at Attic Treasures
- T. K. at Before My Time
- Luckie Daniels at Our Alabama Roots
- Jen at Chicago Family History
- Patti Browning at Consanguinity
