My favourite book is Catch 22…and thinking about it, I haven't read it for a while so I must dig it out. I remember reading it for the first time when I was about 16 and laughing out loud in my bedroom so much that my sister had to come down the corridor at home and check that I wasn't having some kind of mental episode.
As a child, Roald Dahl was always my favourite. I still feel the same mix of fascination and fear when I glance over a copy of The Witches. Quentin Blake's illustrations are fantastic.
When I was studying law, I was reading so many big fat textbooks and law cases that I didn't want to even look at a book so I was quite relieved, from a literature point of view, to leave Uni and start a job where I could feel like reading was a relaxing pastime again!

It's the beginning of the new year and for most people that means giving some thought to a few resolutions. If after thinking about your possible New Year's resolutions you've decided that you ought to be getting more sleep, we're here with a helping hand. Being constantly connected to our laptops, smartphones, and other gadgets has its benefits, but the negative impact on our sleeping patterns isn't one of them. Whether you suffer from insomnia, can't turn your mind off, or simply don't give yourself enough hours to catch those zzzs, we've got some tips, tricks, and tech products that might help you attain that ideal 8-hours a night this year.
Getting enough
Studies have shown that most adults need 7-8 hours of sleep a night to feel healthy and avoid sleep deprivation symptoms like fatigue, memory loss, lack of focus, and a weakened immune system. That number can vary from person to person, but aiming for 7-8 hours each night is a good goal. Even if you follow every other tip and trick out there, if you aren't in bed for as many hours as your body needs, you won't feel awake and healthy during the day. Unfortunately there aren't any gadgets that will actually make you sleep more hours, so you're on your own for this one.
Create a routine and turn your gadgets off
It's common knowledge that you will sleep better if you go to bed and wake up at just about the same time every day. It might be tempting to sleep in on the weekends, but your body clock will be less confused if you stick to a more consistent schedule. A bedtime routine might also help, particularly if you commit to turning off your gadgets 30-60 minutes before you head to bed. The blue light that comes from our computers, TVs, and phones can keep our brain awake and prevent us from falling asleep even if we're tired. If you have trouble turning your thoughts off, try a white noise machine or an app like Relax Melodies (free and $2.99 versions), which lets you create your own combination of ambient sounds to soothe you into a deep sleep.
Tracking your sleep
Here's where apps and gadgets come in handy. If you're looking to improve your sleep quality or just the number of hours you spend asleep, one of the best ways to do that is to start tracking your sleep every night. There are many different options, from inexpensive and simple to high-end products that offer premium accuracy. Here are a few that will help you get a handle on what your sleeping patterns actually are before trying to change them.
This system is likely the most accurate of any consumer products that we've seen, but it comes with a catch. The Zeo system consists of a monitoring band that you wear around your head when you sleep as well as a small docking station. The soft headband monitors your movements as you sleep, creating sleep charts that differentiate between light sleep, REM sleep, and deep sleep. With the free accompanying app, you can set alarms (using SmartWake if you choose, we'll explain later) and view your sleep charts from each night, including exactly how long you were in each sleep stage.
Lark, $99
This alternative is a similar set up to the Zeo system, offering a tracking wristband as well as an accompanying app. Lark provides intuitive tracking and charts to see your sleep patterns, and even offers tips on how to improve your sleep. The wristband does the tracking and a silent alarm can vibrate you awake in the morning, avoiding conflict between couples who wake at different times. While we haven't tested this one out yet, we imagine it has similar accuracy results to the Zeo and a wristband might be more comfortable for some.
Wakemate, $60
A similar concept on the less expensive side, the Wakemate uses a soft wristband to track your sleeping patterns and wake you at the most optimal time in the morning. The system works with an app and an online analytics system to provide you valuable information about your sleep cycle and what to improve on.
There are also several tracking apps out there, like Sleep Tracker or SleepLog for iOS, that will help you keep track of how many hours you sleep each night, but they won't be much help when it comes to seeing how much deep and restorative sleep you're getting within that time. There are also several apps that will use the accelerometer in your phone to wake you at a more optimal time in the morning; we'll get into that below.
Waking up at the right time
We didn't mention it yet, but all three of the sleep tracking systems we just told you about have one added element that can make a huge difference in how you feel on a daily basis. They all use the tracking of your sleep cycle to wake you at the most optimal time in the morning, usually up to 30 minutes before your alarm is due to go off. Chances are that you've experienced this phenomenon personally: one day your alarm goes off while you are sleeping lightly and you wake up with ease, another day your alarm goes off while you are in a deep sleep and you wake up grumpy and groggy even if you got the same number of hours.
How you feel in the morning (and even the rest of the day) can be greatly dependent on what sleep cycle you were in when your alarm went off that day. The sleep tracking systems (Zeo, Lark, and Wakemate) all use the information that they get from tracking your sleep cycles to wake you up during your lightest sleep around your alarm time. It might wake you up 30 minutes earlier than usual one morning, but if you were about to fall back into deep or REM sleep, it's much better (and easier) to wake when you were in the lighter phase.
Apps like Sleep Cycle ($.99) use the accelerometer in your smartphone to monitor your movement, well, the movement of your mattress, in hopes of giving you similar tracking and waking results. We wouldn't count on them for accuracy, but the apps can usually tell well enough when to wake you in the morning based on your movement.
Waking up right
We can probably all tell from experience that a loud buzzing noise or harsh flip of the light switch is not the most ideal way to wake up in the morning. Many of the tracking systems and apps we've mentioned offer soft natural noises that gradually increase in volume, which is definitely better than your classic alarm buzz, but if waking up is your problem, making an effort to wake up more gradually might help you get up more rested and refreshed.
The Philips Wake Up Light ($99) is still the best version of this that we've seen, although there are other models out there. This alarm clock bases its design on the fact that our internal clocks are designed to wake up when the sun rises. The faux-natural sunlight lamp gradually increases its light over a 30-minute period and then plays gentle sounds to tell you it's time to get up. The idea is that by that time, the gentle light will have allowed you to comfortably wake already.
Pinpointing problems
There are lots of different reasons that we might not get our best sleep every night. Unless it is related to a medical disorder, chances are that you can change your sleep quality by changing your lifestyle habits. To figure out what factors cause problems in your sleep, it's a good idea to track your sleep and keep some kind of note system on what you did that night, whether you drank alcohol, exercised, or ate a meal close to bedtime. Most of the tracking systems or apps we mentioned allow for some kind of daily journaling that will help point you in the direction of what might be hindering your sleep.
Tracking can help you notice patterns – maybe you'll realize that you sleep the best when you exercise in the afternoon, or that just a couple drinks at dinner reduces the quality of your sleep. Once you figure out what factors are preventing (or helping you) when it comes to your sleep, then you have the power to change them.

FOX Business: Capitalism Lives Here
The markets dramatically pared down gains on Monday afternoon as traders interpreted mixed signals about when the Federal Reserve will begin cutting back on bond buying.
Continue Reading Below
Today's Markets
As of 2:55 p.m. ET, the Dow Jones Industrial Average jumped 42.5 points, or 0.28%, to 15112, the S&P 500 gained 3.6 points, or 0.22%, to 1631 and the Nasdaq Composite climbed 14 points, or 0.41%, to 3438.
The S&P 500 shed 1% last week in volatile trading as market participants obsessed over the Federal Reserve's strategy to exit its vast bond-buying program. Expectations that the world's most powerful central bank could begin slowing asset purchases in coming months have roiled fixed income markets in a move that has ricocheted into equities.
The Fed is expected to stay in the spotlight this week, with the central bank kicking off a two-day meeting concluding on Wednesday.
"I expect next to no change in the FOMC statement," said Michael Block, chief strategist at Rhino Trading Partners. "In the press conference, (Fed Chairman Ben) Bernanke will play up how tapering purchases down the road is not the same as raising rates, which is so far down the road that investors should not worry about it."
Block pinned the move higher on Monday to investors preparing for the meeting on Wednesday, along with a calming in fixed income and currency markets.
Still, the upward movement lost most of its momentum after the Financial Times reported Bernanke is likely to signal the central bank is "close to tapering" the $85 billion a month it buys in bonds.
The yield on the 10-year Treasury bond fell 0.02-percentage point to 2.115% as traders bid up the asset. Elsewhere, U.S. oil prices continued moving toward the $100 a barrel mark as tension heated up in Syria. The benchmark contract recently climbed 41 cents, or 0.42%, to $98.25 a barrel. Wholesale New York Harbor gasoline was flat at $2.897 a gallon. In metals, gold fell $4, or 0.29%, to $1,384 a troy once.
The economic calendar is fairly light on the day.
The NAHB/Wells Fargo Housing Market index surged to 52 from 44 in May, easily topping forecasts for 45. This is the first time the index has been above 50 since April 2006, suggesting more homebuilders view conditions as favorable than those who see them as poor for the first time since the housing crisis.
The New York Fed's regional manufacturing gauge surged to 7.8 in June from -1.4 the month prior, easily exceeding expectations of 0. Reading above 0 point to expansion for the Empire State factory sector, while those below indicate contraction.
Still, while the headline number was strong, economists noted many of the sub-indices were less rosy: "The unexpected improvement in the Empire State Index was not reflected in the details," Steven Ricchiuto, chief economist at Mizuho Securities USA, wrote to clients. "Details paint a much weaker picture than the headline."
Foreign Markets
The Euro Stoxx 50 jumped 1.5% to 2706, the English FTSE 100 advanced 0.75% to 6355 and the German DAX rallied 1.2% to 8228.
In Asia, the Japanese Nikkei 225 surged 2.7% to 13033 and the Chinese Hang Seng zoomed 1.2% to 21226.

What do family physicians do when the 1 million plus citizens of their state -- celebrated for its wide open spaces -- are starved for the kind of comprehensive health care that only family physicians can provide? In Montana, a group of energetic and like-minded health care professionals rolled up their sleeves and created, from scratch, the Family Medicine Residency Program of Western Montana.
Resident Saul Rivard, M.D., right, discusses a patient's care with Kevin Chin, D.O., a physician at the Partnership Health Center in Missoula, Mont.
"We thought if we could identify physicians who wanted to live in Montana and got them trained in Montana, they would stay in Montana," said Montana AFP President-elect Janice Gomersall, M.D., of Missoula, in an interview with AAFP News Now.
The five-year project, which began with a casual conversation in May 2009, included many parts, pieces and players, including the Montana AFP. "Even though we are a huge state, everybody knows everyone, and almost everyone lives in rural areas that need a doctor," said Gomersall.
"Many times we used our chapter influence to contact someone and get them involved. Several of our members sat on the organization board that came up with the planning. All of us had input," she added.
Story highlights
- Montana, by all counts a largely rural state, faces a critical shortage of primary care physicians.
- The Montana AFP partnered with other primary care forces in the state to create and launch the state's second family medicine residency program to help grow more family physicians in the state.
- The first class of 10 residents reported for training on July 1 in Missoula; the program had 600 applicants for its upcoming 2014 class.
Fast forward to 2013 when this new, untested program filled all 10 of its available slots in the first round of the National Resident Matching Program, known as the Match. The inaugural class of four women and six men began their training as family medicine residents in Missoula on July 1.
Identifying the Need
Montana doesn't have a medical school to call its own, but it is part of the University of Washington School of Medicine's WWAMI(www.uwmedicine.org) (Washington, Wyoming, Alaska, Montana and Idaho) program, which is a regional medical education program that pools resources to help train physicians in these five rural western states.
The Montana Family Medicine Residency, which is located in Billings, opened in 1995 to help alleviate the state's shortage of primary care physicians. The program has expanded to graduate eight residents a year, and nearly 70 percent of those graduates stay in Montana. But Montana's physician shortage is severe. Consider that among the state's 56 counties,
- all but one are considered "frontier" counties,
- 54 are designated as primary care shortage areas, and
- 11 don't have a single physician.
In addition, more than 19,000 Montanans live in counties with no primary care physicians, and nearly a quarter of the state's physicians are older than 60 and may retire within five years.
Ned Vasquez, M.D., of Missoula, the program director of the new residency, said, "Montana has been 50th in the nation for the number of GME (graduate medical education) residency slots, (two) per 100,000 people, for a long time. We're in the cellar."
"However, in a relatively short period of time, we managed to create a viable residency program that's attracted good, young budding family physicians to the state," he added. "And by doing that, we will provide a better pipeline of doctors for the rural communities."
John Miller, M.D., the new residency program's associate director for clinical operations and medical director of Partnership Health Center, a federally qualified health center that serves as one of the residency's five key clinical partners, ticked off the names of rural towns that would benefit from an influx of family physicians. "Plains (population 1,048), Ronan (1,871), Libby (2,628), Dillon (4,134) and Anaconda (9,328) all have critical-access hospitals that need to be staffed, and family physicians are the ideal people to staff ERs, labor and delivery, and see patients in clinic," said Miller.
"But it is so difficult for those towns to recruit with just the one residency program in Billings," he added.
Frank Reed, M.D., senior clinical professor of family medicine at the University of Montana and the rural program director for the new residency, put it this way: "Next week, our first resident goes out to Ronan, 60 miles from here, where family physicians do operative obstetrics and see Native Americans (from the Flathead Indian Reservation). That resident will get real-life exposure to family physicians who confidently perform Cesarean sections and provide care to underserved patients.
"Our sole purpose with this residency is to land people in the little communities in western Montana," he added.
Neonatal resuscitation training at Clark Fork Valley Hospital in Plains, Mont., is on today's agenda for residents, clockwise from right foreground, T.J. Sherry, M.D.; Kevin Kropp, D.O.; Harshida Chaudhari, M.B.B.S.; and Saul Rivard, M.D., as instructor Nerissa Koehn, M.D., far right, provides direction.
Chronology of Success
Ensuring the success of the residency program was a task that fell on many shoulders. A bird's eye view of the chronology helps explain all that was accomplished.
A series of meetings in 2009 and 2010 ensured the support of local family physicians. Much of 2011 was spent developing curriculum, hiring faculty, gaining approval of the Montana Board of Regents for University of Montana sponsorship of the residency and completing the accreditation application.
The program was accredited by the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education in October 2012, but not soon enough to secure a listing in the Electronic Residency Application Service (ERAS) computer system that residents rely on for individual program information.
"We had to be creative about recruiting our first class since we weren't listed in ERAS and there was no obvious way for people to know we existed," said Vasquez. "We made sure we had a good website up and running" and alerted all of the U.S. allopathic and osteopathic medical schools.
In addition, the yet-to-be accredited residency program had a strong showing at Bartle Hall during the AAFP's 2012 National Conference of Family Medicine Residents and Medical Students in Kansas City, Mo. The convention hall effectively serves as a giant display case for residency programs seeking to snag interested students.
"We went into the recruiting season not knowing what would happen," said Vasquez. But the program's marketing push paid off with 142 applicants, 60 of whom secured interviews. The rest is history.
The five main residency program partners work together to ensure a high level of clinical care and a variety of practice experiences for residents. Those partners are Partnership Health Center in Missoula, which houses the residency; three hospitals, including St. Patrick Hospital and Community Medical Center in Missoula and Kalispell Regional Medical Center, located 145 miles to the north; and the University of Montana in Missoula.
Resident T.J. Sherry, M.D., engages with his patient at the Partnership Community Health Center. The Missoula clinic serves many patients with complex medical histories, which makes it a rich learning venue for family medicine residents.
Funding -- which has jumped from an initial start-up cost of $971,000 in 2009 to a proposed budget of $6.7 million when the residency is fleshed out with its full cadre of 30 residents -- is derived from a delicate web that includes federal GME dollars, state and federal grants, and revenue from the residency clinic.
Residents Show Pioneer Spirit
Resident Saul Rivard, M.D., of Missoula, counts himself among the lucky first 10 residents. Born and reared in Livingston, Mont., Rivard said he felt family medicine's tug in high school.
During his third year at the Warren Alpert Medical School at Brown University in Providence, R.I., Rivard heard rumors of a possible start-up residency program opening in Missoula. "I kept my eyes and ears open for more information," he said.
"I went through the interview season and applied to a number of programs, but I was lucky enough to match here," said Rivard. He described the experience of helping mold a fledgling program as both exciting and terrifying. Above all, he relished the challenge. "Maybe that's part of the pioneering spirit I grew up with in Montana.
"The hard work had been done before (the residents) ever set foot in Missoula, and the program was already structurally sound," Rivard added. He lauded the strong and solid core faculty. "They empower me," said Rivard. "And they want this to succeed as much as we do."
Chapter EVP: Linda Edquest
Number of chapter members: 472
Location of chapter headquarters: Helena
2014 annual conference: Chico Primary Care Conference, June 19-20, Chico Hot Springs
Resident T.J. Sherry, M.D., also a native Montanan, hails from tiny Frenchtown, population 1,825.
"I love the experience of rural medicine because I can wear many hats … from the emergency room, to rounding on patients like a hospitalist, to seeing clinic patients. And then I may deliver a baby at 5 o'clock that night. I love the variety," said Sherry.
He is secure in his residency choice. "I have absolutely no regrets," said Sherry. "It's quite the honor to be thought of as someone who could help develop a residency program."
Bright Future Ahead
Reed set up and oversees a frontier and rural advisory committee tasked with matching community needs with residency requirements. "In other words, instead of imagining what is needed out in rural areas, we will take ongoing feedback from people that is based on our residents' rotations out there," he said.
The future looks bright for the program, according to Reed. "We've already, in just our second year, filled all of our interview slots with tier-one candidates. Two days into it, we had 600 applications for this year."
Montana AFP President Larry Severa, M.D., of Billings, said he was excited at the prospect of watching the new program expand the outreach of family medicine in the state. "Family medicine is the foundation of excellent care, and we embrace family physicians trained in our state who will serve and lead in Montana now and in the future," said Severa.

Linux Magazine: Desktop Publishing with Scribus
Linux Magazine regularly makes all articles from older issues online available in PDF format. Recently added is a three-part tutorial about creating a newspaper with Scribus: after introducing the basics, you can learn how to layout page objects and it ends talking about templates and PDF. Scribus recently released version 188.8.131.52.
Usual Scribus question on dotty...
How is Scribus related to KDE besides that they both use the same base toolkit?
And for that matter, has optional Scribus integration into KDE progressed since last time there was a Scribus announcement here on the dotty (when some Scribus developers asked what KDE integration would look like)?

Re: Usual Scribus question on dotty...
Scribus is pure Qt.

Re: Usual Scribus question on dotty...
Everything that benefits Qt based application pool benefits KDE.
By Anonymous at Thu, 2005/07/14 - 5:00am
Re: Usual Scribus question on dotty...
We have made investigations into the requirements of KDE integration. Nothing will happen in the 1.2.x series. We will do whatever we can to integrate into the platforms we now run on with 1.3.x. KDE integration will come in some sorts at some point in time, and I know thats up in the air but its not exactly trivial. The advances in 1.3.x cvs are much more important DTP wise than KDE integration at this point in time.
By Craig Bradney at Thu, 2005/07/14 - 5:00am
Re: Usual Scribus question on dotty...
That's cool to hear. Is the KDE integration effort outlined or coordinated somewhere? It's barely mentioned in the roadmap for 1.3.x, and I don't know what investigations were made and what are the results.
(I personally wish that effort could be more closely coordinated with KDE so that optional KDE support for pure Qt apps will become much easier to include with KDE 4, ideally similar like done with KDE themes which subclass Qt API and thus include Qt apps as well. Also more apps should be able to profit of Scribus' excellent SVG and PDF engines.)
By ac at Thu, 2005/07/14 - 5:00am
Re: Usual Scribus question on dotty...
Yes, this is really important. Scribus always looks like an alien app on the KDE desktop. And of course KDe integration means also better interoperability.

Scribus looks nice
I've done some small tests with it in the past, and while it does require some learning for someone not used to DTP apps, it seems like a very capable application. The last version I tried was a bit slow, with my AMD 2600+ with 1G it felt quite sluggish. I compare to apps like OO or the dead Linux version of FrameMaker (which was really fast even on my old P2-333).
I've decided to do our next wall calendar (we do one for each Christmas to annoy our relatives) with Scribus instead of OO, so that will for me be the real test wether I can learn to use and like it as well as wether it is fast enough on "normal" hardware.
By chakie at Thu, 2005/07/14 - 5:00am
Re: Scribus looks nice
OO cannot be compared with Scribus. Scribus is a DTP app and OO is not.

I did not create a newspaper, only smaller documents, and my experience is that it feels faster that OO on my Laptop. Which is a 500Mhz P3 with 192MB memory.

Re: Scribus looks nice
Of course it can't be compared technically, but for what I want to do I can compare how the apps work for my needs. Previously OO has been the best tool for creating a table for the days of the month, importing an image, adding in some info for some days, adding in the month name and a comment for the image. That's it. If Scribus does that better I'll use it, if not, I'll stay with OO.

great articles
These articles are quite informative, not only about Scribus, but about page layout and publishing in general.

Scribus is great but...
Let me first thank the developers of scribus, who have done an amazing job in very short time. The biggest drawback that I have seen is the current lack of an undo function. Without it, doing any complex desktop layout is nearly impossible.
What's most strange about this is that they have found time to implement much more complex functionality, yet they have not done this, which is absolutely essential. This is the only thing preventing our media group from using scribus right now.
Thanks and I hope to see this soon or to be proven wrong in the follow-up comments.

Re: Scribus is great but...
From the today released development release Scribus 1.3.0 changelog: "There is a new undo system, which includes an undo palette that has the undo history with details of each action. Undo also has object specific capabilities. The number of undo/redo steps can be set in the preferences."

Re: Scribus is great but...
Thanks for the compliments.
You will be pleased to know we just released 1.3.0 as a technology preview which has a very sophisticated Undo palette with a graphical depiction of actions which can be done or undone.
1.3.0 is the beginning of the long road to the next stable version of Scribus.

a usage question :)
If this is wrong place to ask questions, I apologize...
Is there a way to make a picture, or a picture frame actually, go across two pages in Scribus? Facing pages, of course...
Doing it manually like splitting the picture in two, making two frames... doesn't count.
I tested Scribus the other day, and I was pretty impressed :) If it can do what I asked above, and if, when creating PDF, it manages colors the way I need it to, I might throw Quark to garbage can, and stop playing with InDesign :-)

Re: a usage question :)
Nice :)
Now, I must ask you about the color management thing... I was told by people in a printing house, that black letters (or perhaps black color in general) must not include all the cmyk colors, but only black. When you are printing to pdf with Acrobat Distiller, you can make this setting and all is fine (In Acrobat Pro., you can chech this by turning colors on and off)
Is this possible with Scribus?
I am not trying to be negative, honestly. I am just evaluating real-world usability of Scribus. Thank you for providing this great alternative, and please keep up the fantastic work.
By Moi at Sat, 2005/07/16 - 5:00am
Re: a usage question :)
A. Not in every case must black be 100% K. There are different flavors of black depending on paper, content and other issues. There is "Warm Black" "Cool Black" and the exact recipe not standarized for all printer/designers.
B: Yes this is possible with Scribus
C: The 1.3.x devel series will have even more capability with these kind of needs.

An exciting time
Having twins can be one of the most exciting times of your life. It can also be one of the most demanding. While twins will bring you special joys, caring for twins is a big job. Sometimes just getting through the day can seem overwhelming.
Here are some ideas about how to make life with twins a little easier.
Planning ahead
The first few months after the babies arrive can be a blur of diapers and feedings. Take the chance during pregnancy to look for help in those first months. Accept any help that is offered. It can make a big difference. Talk with your partner about how the duties of caring for the babies can be shared. Having both parents involved in child care is both good for you and your children.
Start childbirth classes early. Many twins are born prematurely (before the due date). If you don't start classes early, you may not finish before the twins are born. Make all your other arrangements early too, so you're ready.
What else can I do to prepare?
- Contact a Multiples of America (also know as the National Organization of Mothers of Twins Club). Talking with others who have had twins is invaluable. You can get many helpful ideas and advice from the parents in this group about how to get through those early years.
- Read some of the books written about caring for twins. These books can give you more helpful tips and tell you what to expect. You may also want to subscribe to a magazine for parents of twins.
- Breastfeeding is the best nutrition for your twins. Get some advice from those who have gone through it. The Mothers of Twins Club has La Leche League group meetings, a support group for mother's who breastfeed. It might be less difficult than you think.
What should I expect?
Expect to be tired. It will be a long time before you get a full night's sleep, so take every chance to rest during the day. With the intensity of the experience of having twins, expect to have some negative feelings from time to time, too. It is natural to have these feelings. Try not to feel guilty about having them. Most parents of twins have moments when they feel they aren't up to the job of caring for the twins. These feelings won't last and you will soon get the hang of life with twins.
As you get used to life with twins, don't forget about yourself or your partner. Talk to each other about your feelings and problems. Try to find some way to take a break regularly. You need it and you deserve it! Remember to give other children in the family the attention they need. The amount of time that it takes to care for twins can make other siblings feel forgotten. Make a special effort to set aside time regularly to be alone with other children.
What are some things to avoid?
One of the most difficult jobs for all children is to learn who they are as people and how they are different from others around them. This job is harder for twins, especially identical ones, who are always being compared to one another. There are things you can do to help, such as:
- Avoid picking names for the twins that rhyme or sound alike.
- Avoid dressing the twins alike.
- Avoid referring to them as "the twins." Use their names just as you would 2 children of different ages. It helps them learn who they are.
- Don't make comparisons between the twins and don't create competition between them. It is natural for all siblings to compare themselves and be competitive with each other. Being a twin and being constantly compared with your twin can make these feelings worse. You may want to think about putting them in different classrooms at school.
It's also important to give each twin time alone with you. They need to know they are important as individuals and not just as twins. Make a special effort to speak and read frequently to each child. This may help with the delay in language development that some twins have.

Transport 2050: The major challenges, the key measures
Why it matters
Transport is fundamental to our economy and society. Mobility is vital for growth and job creation. The transport industry directly employs around 10 million people and accounts for about 5% of gross domestic product (GDP). Effective transport systems are key to European companies' ability to compete in the world economy. Logistics, such as transport and storage, account for 10–15% of the cost of a finished product for European companies. The quality of transport services has a major impact on people's quality of life. On average 13.2% of every household's budget is spent on transport goods and services.
The major challenges
Mobility will increase. But European transport is at a crossroads. Our transport system faces major challenges:
Transport 2050: The main measures
The strategy outlined in the Transport 2050 Roadmap to a Single Transport Area aims to introduce profound structural changes to transform the transport sector.
It will move forwards in coming years (2011–14) with key measures:
High-quality transport services in all sectors depend on the consolidation and enforcement of passenger rights legislation across all modes. Following the completion of the legislative framework for passenger rights in all modes, the Commission will publish reports on the application of air passenger rights, and later in 2011 bring forward guidelines on the common interpretation of passenger rights across all modes.
The above list is not exhaustive, it aims to highlight some of the key measures which will move forwards in the period 2011–14 to introduce the major structural changes necessary to build an integrated Single European Transport Area.
The full list of initiatives foreseen in the Transport 2050 roadmap — in over 40 areas of road, rail, air, maritime and inland waterway transport — can be found at http://ec.europa.eu/transport/index_en.htm.

Anybody who was born subsequent to 1953 can probably tell you exactly where he or she was when they first heard the news that John F. Kennedy was dead, the victim of an assassin's bullet while on a trip to Dallas, Texas.
November 22, 1963 certainly is one of the iconic dates in American history, not unlike July 4, 1776, December 7, 1941 and September 11, 2001.
Now, everybody — including those who do not personally remember JFK's death — can relive that day through the new movie, "Parkland," named for the hospital where the president was rushed after being felled by an assassin's bullet.
The movie provides a glimpse into Dallas that day and the actions of some of the major players in the event. For those who remember that day all too well, it will fill in some blanks. For those who do not, it will give the event some context.
Most people have an iconic and historical day where they can remember what happened, that remains in their memory years after the event itself.
For me, there are several. I will never forget the morning of November 12, 2001, two months and a day after 9/11, when a large Airbus A 300-600 augured into the street on the block were my son and his family lived, only three blocks from my apartment and a mile from where I worked as a newspaper managing editor.
I remember hearing on the police scanner, "Central, we have a heavy airliner down on Beach 129 and RBB." Those words still bring chills nearly a dozen years later. That day and the following weeks were perhaps the most hectic of my long life.
So, I am no exception to the rule that everybody who was old enough to remember where they were and what they were doing on any of those iconic dates above, or others of their own, personal choosing, will certainly do so for the rest of their lives.
As to Kennedy, it was a Friday and I had travelled home from the Brooklyn Navy Yard to Far Rockaway. The ship upon which I served at the time, the USS Franklin D. Roosevelt (CVA-42), a 67,000 ton aircraft carrier, was in the sprawling yards for a refit and repairs and I had become something of a commuter for a few months, riding the A Train to and from the yard each day rather than sleeping on the ship.

Tomato growers push for compensation for FDA warning
WASHINGTON -- Tomato growers can thwack the Food and Drug Administration next week, but their try for federal funds could be a long shot.
Two separate congressional hearings will enable California and Florida growers to bash the FDA for supposedly blowing a recent salmonella outbreak. Regulators initially raised warning flags about tomatoes, costing farmers a bundle before suspicions turned to jalapeno peppers. On Friday, the FDA narrowed its focus to Mexico-grown jalapenos, clearing the U.S. crop.
"Clearly, the FDA has done a very poor job at tracking this outbreak," said Rep. Dennis Cardoza, D-Calif. "They blamed the wrong industry."
Cardoza chairs the House horticulture and organic agriculture subcommittee, one of two House panels convening food safety hearings next week. The other panel, an oversight subcommittee of the House Energy and Commerce Committee, recently sent investigators to California's Central Valley to delve into the problem.
Finger-pointing, though, may be easier than finding viable fixes.
Four Florida lawmakers -- Democratic Reps. Allen Boyd and Debbie Wasserman Schultz and Republican Reps. Adam Putnam and Vern Buchanan -- have introduced legislation compensating tomato growers and packers nationwide for their losses during the latest salmonella scare. The Florida Tomato Exchange pegs those losses at $100 million.
Few doubt the FDA's warnings hurt business. California tomato exports to Canada have dropped by one-third, and retail tomato sales between San Diego and Seattle were down at least 40 percent in June, according to Ed Beckman of the Fresno-based California Tomato Farmers.
"The FDA's warning about tomatoes devastated the ... industry," declared Rep. Tim Mahoney, D-Fla., adding that "we need to ensure that all impacted tomato growers and packers are compensated."
Politically alluring for rural lawmakers, the compensation proposal nonetheless faces several practical hurdles.
One problem is financial. The ink is barely dry on a $296 billion farm bill that is supposed to cover growers for the next five years. The farm bill, enacted over President Bush's veto, includes special disaster relief provisions. A new tomato compensation package would add to the cost of what's already a record-setting bill.
Another problem is the effect a compensation program would have on food safety regulators. Extracting what could be interpreted as a $100 million fine from the federal government for issuing a food safety warning that was based on the best information available could send a chilling signal, some fear.
"The problem with that is, next time, you might have a situation where the FDA is slower to respond," Cardoza said.
To date, more than 1,250 people in 43 states have been stricken with this latest outbreak. At least 229 have been hospitalized, and two have died.
On June 7, the FDA issued a nationwide warning against eating several types of raw tomatoes. On July 17, the agency removed that tomato warning and declared instead that raw jalapeno and raw Serrano peppers "may be linked" to salmonella. On Monday, regulators announced they had found a contaminated Mexican-grown pepper at a produce distribution center in McAllen, Texas.
"The first scientific indication showed a very clear association with tomatoes," FDA Associate Commissioner David Acheson stressed Monday. "And there is nothing to indicate that that association was incorrect or inappropriate. (But) as the outbreak has progressed ... jalapeno and Serrano peppers have become more clearly implicated."
Ed Beckman of California Tomato Farmers said the California and Florida tomato industries would benefit if strict standards already applied in the two states would be extended nationwide. The FDA, though, says it first needs authorization from Congress to impose certain nationwide mandates. This could take a long time, of which lawmakers in this election year already have a shortage.
Cardoza's subcommittee will conduct its hearing Wednesday morning, focusing on the challenges in tracing back sources of food contamination. The House Energy and Commerce Committee's oversight and investigations subcommittee will conduct its separate hearing Thursday on lessons learned from the salmonella outbreak.
The latter committee has been conducting hearings into food safety since January 2007. Illustrating the political difficulties involved, a draft food safety overhaul bill was published last April, but a formal bill has not been introduced.

Safehaus Finds Open Source Business Model in OATH
Authenticating with Open Source
Can an open source .org find happiness and success in teaming up with a multivendor consortium? It's a business model that seems to work for Safehaus, an organization now collaborating with OATH (Initiative for Open AuTHentication) on technologies for authenticating cell phone subscribers, among other things.
For its part, OATH was formed by vendors who perceived a void in standards around authentication based on strong encryption, said David Berman, OATH's membership chair, during an interview with LinuxPlanet.
"The static password has been a weak link. We need to drive down the costs of strong authentication," according to Berman, who is also director of partner marketing for VeriSign Security Services.
Although industry groups such as OASIS and the Liberty Alliance have been dealing with issues such as federated identity management, other groups have not focused on the need for specifications dedicated to strong encryption and authentication, Berman said.
Meanwhile, though, banks, cellular providers, and other organizations have been using a range of different proprietary authentication and encryption methods on various smartcard and keyfob hardware, he maintained.
"If you have accounts in three or four banks, you might be carrying around three or four different keyfobs," Berman told LinuxPlanet.
OATH wants to build a unfied specification for secure single-on that will be available for royalty-free use throughout industry.
"Free is good," agreed Alex Karasulu, a founder of Safehaus, also during the interview.
"It's great to be able to mix and match the best of breed. And if the best of breed is open source, by all means you should go with this," chimed in Wally Kowal, vice president of marketing for DiversiNet.
But instead of acting alone, OATH [plans to work with established standards bodies wherever possible.
As a first step, in October of 2004 the group endorsed submission of a dynamic two-factor authentication method dubbed HOTP as a proposed draft standard to the IETF.
According to Kowal, the HOTP algorithm creates a one-time sequence number by combining a "secret credential," pre-loaded on to the device, with a sequential counter. The authentication server is aware of both the credential and the sequence for the specific device. Once the server grants access, the same sequence number can never be used again.
Meanwhile, DiversiNet announced last June that its MobiSecure mobile token and authentication system will be integrated with VeriSign's United Authentication service.
The deal is [targeted at letting mobile service providers authenticate users of smart phones, PDAs, laptops and other devices by deploying software tokens directly on the mobile device, rather than requiring the use of smart cards or other hardware.
Then, in December of 2005, OATH made a draft submission to the IETF proposing a set of extensions to HOTP. Known as Mutual OATH, the extensions accommodate occasionally connected environments by permitting replacement of the sequential counter, which requires time-based synchronization, with challenge-response mechanisms such as passwords.
Mutual OATH also provides for authentication of servers, so as to help prevent phishing scams, Berman said.
Now, OATH is looking at submitting another technology proposal to OASIS at some point in the future, he added.
How is Safehaus playing into this security scenario? The .org now runs a total of eight open source projects around open source directory and security infrastructure.
Last year, Safehaus announced integration between two of these projects--TripleSec and HausKeys--with the OATH framework and OpenSource HOTP
According to Karasulu, the integration project was targeted at helping enterprises to deploy OATH as an open source authentication solution for use with Windows, Macintosh and Unix.
The solution combines Kerberos security with LDAP directory services, he said.
Meanwhile, Safehaus has become a contributing member to OATH, a consortium that also includes board-level "coordinating" members such as VeriSign and IBM Tivoli, in addition to several dozen adopter members.
Safehaus' TripleSec is an authentication server. HausKeys, on the other hand, is a token-based encryption system.
Through OATH, Safehaus has been working particularly closely with VeriSign partner DiversiNet, according to Karasulu.
The relationship with DiversiNet helps to bring more exposure to Safehaus' open source development work as well as much greater production capabilities as the technology starts to come to market, Karasulu contended.
"Without DiversiNET, we wouldn't have nearly the same resources at our disposal," he elaborated.
OATH's algorithm might also be used in other form factors, such as credit cards, according to the OATH members.
"But we see the cell phone as the future," Karasulu noted. "The HOTP footprint is small, and its processing requirements are also small."
Karasulu also participates in the Apache Foundation, another .org that has joined OATH. Apache, however, is an adopter member of OATH, meaning that it pays no dues.
He is also the author of the LDAPd pure Java LDAP server and founder of a previous .org called the LDAP Group. After dissolving the LDAP Group, Karasulu proposed and founded the Directory Project at Apache, which has absorbed the code base to the LDAPd Directory Server.
Meanwhile, two banks have joined OATH as adopter members, but their names are being kept anonymous.
Safehaus is also "a staging area where we bring in a whole bunch of products," Karasulu told LinuxPlanet.
Other current projects at Safehaus include Penrose, Guardian, Mitosis, HausMail, Radius, and Jug.

I'm having what you could call a quintessential Los Angeles experience today -- starting with dropping by LA Live to check on the Emmys red carpet and the final installation of our donated SolarWorld solar panels, then heading to the Los Angeles Coliseum with my husband and kids to cheer on the USC Trojans at their football game against Syracuse.
Largest ever solar array at an Emmy Awards show
When the folks at Fox first approached us at SolarWorld about their goal to have a "green" red carpet for the Emmys, they had my attention for sure. I must admit that I am a self proclaimed Gleek and can't miss an episode of "Modern Family." And, I do LOVE award shows.
We were quite excited to be part of the largest solar installation to power an awards show ever and help to bring solar to such a large audience. I truly believe that the path to our independence from foreign fuel sources will be led by solar power – specifically American-made solar power, such as solar panels from SolarWorld.
Final preparations are in full swing the day before the 63rd Primetime Emmy Awards
We were even more motivated to participate by the fact that our solar panels would later be donated to Habitat for Humanity. This step falls right in line with our SolarWorld philosophy of giving power to those who need it most.
As I see the amazing completed structures with our donated solar panels on top, I'm so proud to be part of SolarWorld and proud to have helped facilitate making this happen.
The red carpet is covered now with plastic so that it will be bright red tomorrow, and there are people all around putting in the last-minute touches. Some are rehearsing for tomorrow's big event, and there are even some media filming and doing their red carpet run-throughs. I even ran into a friend in "the business" from the town where I live who is there setting up lighting for one of the networks.
I can't wait for the Emmys tomorrow. I'll be in front of my set with my glass of champagne, glued to the screen.

|Key regulator of entry into cell division that acts as a tumor suppressor. Promotes G0-G1 transition when phosphorylated by CDK3/cyclin-C. Acts as a transcription repressor of E2F1 target genes. The underphosphorylated, active form of RB1 interacts with E2F1 and represses its transcription activity, leading to cell cycle arrest. Directly involved in heterochromatin formation by maintaining overall chromatin structure and, in particular, that of constitutive heterochromatin by stabilizing histone methylation. Recruits and targets histone methyltransferases SUV39H1, KMT5B and KMT5C, leading to epigenetic transcriptional repression. Controls histone H4 'Lys-20' trimethylation. Inhibits the intrinsic kinase activity of TAF1. Mediates transcriptional repression by SMARCA4/BRG1 by recruiting a histone deacetylase (HDAC) complex to the c-FOS promoter. In resting neurons, transcription of the c-FOS promoter is inhibited by BRG1-dependent recruitment of a phospho-RB1-HDAC1 repressor complex. Upon calcium influx, RB1 is dephosphorylated by calcineurin, which leads to release of the repressor complex (By similarity).

Five Southeastern Conference teams enter Wednesday action with 7-7 league records, creating a five-way tie for fourth place in the standings, which takes on added importance because of the fourth and final double-eye to the SEC Tournament quarterfinals.
Ole Miss is among those five teams, as it enters the final four games of the regular season starting with Alabama Wednesday night at Tad Smith Coliseum (7 p.m., ESPN3). The Rebels enter Wednesday's matchup, having lost four straight games since a 91-88 win over Missouri on Feb. 8.
"We need to try to find a way to stop the bleeding," said head coach Andy Kennedy on Monday's SEC teleconference."
The four-game skid started with a 67-64 loss at Alabama on a last-second 3-pointer by the Crimson Tide's Trevor Releford. It continued with a 61-60 loss at Georgia and then back-to-back home losses to top-20 teams in No. 18 Kentucky (84-70) and No. 2 Florida (75-71).
"It's easy to look back and live in the world of would have, could have, should have," Kennedy said. "You can see the finish line. You have two weeks left in the regular season leading to Atlanta. We know we have five more games. How we play in those five games will determine what happens next.
"My hope is that we're just anxious to play again because it's been two weeks since we have won a game. It's not a good feeling. I want our guys to share that sentiment and look forward to having the next opportunity."
In the first meeting, Releford scored 16 of his team's final 20 points and finished with a game-high 26 points. Releford leads the team and ranks fifth in the league averaging 19.0 points per game. He also leads the team and ranks among the six players in the league in field goal percentage (50.8%), free throw percentage (88.6%) and 3-point field goal percentage (40.4%).
"He's a first team all-league player," Kennedy said. "They have their ups and downs, as we have all had. If a few games had gone the other way in Alabama's favor, he would be in the conversation for most valuable player in the league simply because of what he means to their team.
"He's had a terrific career. He's been very steady and very consistent, and he's really improved, which is a credit to Anthony (Grant) and his staff. He was a guy who's always been very good with the ball, fast in the open floor, but his ability to develop perimeter shooting and his ability to make perimeter shots has really made him a difficult cover."
Alabama is 11-16 on the season and 5-9 in the SEC, having played the nation's third-toughest schedule (ESPN.com). Away from home, the Crimson Tide is 0-12, including 0-7 in the SEC. After a 63-48 loss at Texas A&M Thursday night, Alabama rebounded with an 80-73 over Missouri at home Saturday.
"It's been a rough year for us, in terms of some of the tough losses that we have had, in nonconference and conference play," Alabama head coach Anthony Grant said. Our guys have had to battle. Some games we have performed well and come up short, one or two possessions. Other games we have not performed well and not been as close."
When asked about the win over Missouri starting a wave of momentum, Grant said that each game has a life of its own, and Wednesday's rematch with Ole Miss is no different.
"That one game, certainly, was a great character win," he said. "Now, we have to be able to learn the lessons from that, good and bad, and move forward and understand that we're going to get a completely different look when we go on the road here for Ole Miss."

The world's oldest motorcycle brand is about to get some new blood, as Dr. Venki Padmanabhan has been named Royal Enfield Motors new CEO. Serving Royal Enfield for the past two years as COO under then CEO R.L. Ravichandran, Padmanabhan has a bevy of management experience, which has seen him serve as the Managing Director of Chrysler's South East Asia Global Sourcing Office, along with other positions at General Motors and Mercedes-Benz. While Padmanabhan has been at Royal Enfield, the company has posted 21% growth in sales volume, 54% growth in sales turnover, and double-digit profitability (that's the business equivalent to a triple-double).
Reporting to Siddhartha Lal, the Managing Director of Eicher Motors Limited (Royal Enfield's parent company), we imagine Padmanabhan's marching orders will be to continue the strong growth the company saw under Ravichandran, and to continue to expand into emerging markets, while solidifying Royal Enfield's position in India against outside producers.

Mohandas K. Gandhi
News about Mohandas K. Gandhi, including commentary and archival articles published in The New York Times. More
Updated March 5, 2009
Mohandas K. Gandhi was a Hindu leader in India's quest for independence from Britain and was a prime apostle of nonviolence — "passive resistance" — as a way to achieve political and social goals. Gandhi was looked upon as a saint by many of his followers and was popularly known as "mahatma," which is Sanskrit for "great soul." The image of this small man wearing nothing but a loincloth and shawl and standing up to the great colonial power of Britain gained him, and his cause, worldwide attention.
Gandhi was born on Oct. 2, 1869, at Porbandar on the Kathiawar peninsula of India. At age 19 he went to London, where he studied at University College and was called to the bar by the Inner Temple. He opened a law practice in Bombay but had little success and accepted a position as a legal adviser with an Indian firm having interests in South Africa, where he found that Indian immigrants were denied civil liberties and political rights.
It was during his 20 years in South Africa that he began teaching the policy of passive resistance, or Satyagraha, in his struggle for human rights. After World War I, he began advocating passive resistance against Britain as a means to achieve home rule. He became the international symbol of a free India. In his pursuit of independence, he would become accustomed to spending time in prison.
Gandhi believed that through his and his followers' practice and advocacy of nonviolence Britain would eventually consider violence useless and would leave India — which it finally did in 1947. The next year, he was assassinated by a Hindu fanatic.
At 5 o'clock in the afternoon on Feb. 1, 1948, a funeral pyre of sandalwood bearing his rose-covered earthly remains was set alight by his son on the banks of the holy Jumna River in New Delhi. It was 24 hours, almost to the minute, after the assassin's bullets had shot him down as he was on his way to prayer. His body had been carried in state in a five hour procession over five and a half miles through the streets of Old and New Delhi. His funeral procession and cremation were witnessed by about a million people. His ashes were scattered on the Jumna.
On March 5, 2009, despite direct appeals from the Indian government and a last-minute stay from an Indian court, an auction of Mr. Gandhi's personal items — including his sandals, bowl, watch and spectacles — was held as planned at Antiquorum Auctioneers in New York City. The items were sold for $1.8 million.
The buyer was identified as Vijay Mallya, an Indian liquor and airline executive who owns the company that makes Kingfisher beer. A representative for Mr. Mallya, Tony Bedhi, did the bidding and later announced that the belongings would be returned to India for public display, but it was not clear whether they would be turned over to the government, as some officials have demanded.Indian officials had maintained that the auction was illegal, but continued to negotiate with the owner, James Otis, over a possible resolution. Ultimately, the government and Mr. Otis were not successful in halting the auction.

If you've anytime apprehend Shakespeare's Othello you apparently apperceive that the titular appearance kills his admired Desdemona by baking her with a pillow. She again laments with her final line, "Nobody; I myself. Farewell: Commend me to my affectionate lord: O, farewell!" if Emilia asks who asleep her.
Now, if you're like me, you'd apparently not be able to appear aback from the asleep to eek out that final band if anyone has just smothered you with a pillow; neither would you acceptable die afterwards authoritative this statement. Sure, some may say she got an aneurism, which is what absolutely asleep her afterwards Othello's bootless attempt; but those humans are reaching.
The artifice aperture in Shakespeare's archetypal play is not altered to the bard. Many writers accept larboard cogent artifice holes or errors in their works, either as a aftereffect of afterlight or editing, or artlessly a aberration in the writing. So how can you, as a writer, abstain autograph about a appearance who has a cigarette in duke who walks into a warehouse, and somehow the gas aperture in the barn is not afire (because al of a sudden the cigarette has magically disappeared)?
Filmmakers advance a apparatus that a lot of writers do not use but should: storyboarding. If you are not accustomed with what this is, I acclaim accomplishing a little analysis and implementing it in your own process. Storyboarding is about a clear adaptation of anniversary scene, depicted on alone "boards" or panels. Filmmakers use them to align and adapt scenes in a blur for purposes of flow, consistency, and beheld appeal. They advice because a lot of films are not fabricated in a beeline fashion, but rather attempt as alone scenes and again "cut" into the final work. My own autograph is done in this way: I address alone capacity or sometimes just scenes, and again cut it all calm in the end afore revision.
Storyboarding can advice even if you address in a beeline fashion. If you can see the "shot" as a drawing, it can advice you bigger anticipate the character's perspective; it can advice you characterization altered elements that you'd like to call so you don't abort to acquaint the clairvoyant that the sky was aphotic or that the mountains in the border appeared to be annoyed because of the dust storm that was approaching; and it can advice you apprehension that abuse cigarette in Jose's duke just afore he enters the warehouse. The account can advice admonish you to address in that Jose flicked the cigarette abroad just afore entering the gas-filled warehouse, appropriately allowance him abstain a alarming death.

During the Depression, the migration out of the South was insignificant. Finding work anywhere was a challenge. Trapped in the South, African Americans often could rely only on day work. They traveled great distances for a day or a few weeks of work as cotton or strawberry pickers. These migrant workers travel from Tennessee to Arkansas to hoe cotton.

The American Council on Exercise (ACE) has released the results of a study that looked at the effectiveness of the P90X. The 90-day, interval boot camp-style home exercise program was identified by ACE as one of the top fitness trends to watch in 2012.
The study, conducted by a team of experts from the Departments of Exercise and Sport Science and Physical Therapy at the University of Wisconsin-LaCrosse, found the program meets or exceeds the recognized standards for improving cardio-respiratory fitness. A group of 16 subjects ranging in age from 19 to 26 participated in the study, which was designed to determine the true exercise intensity and calories burned when using the P90X program.
The group completed up to three practice sessions of each of the four workouts chosen for the study, which included legs and back, Plyometrics, Cardio X and chest, shoulders and triceps. The actual testing began after each participant became proficient in the workouts, and they exercised to the best of their abilities throughout the warm-up, conditioning phase and cool-down while researchers recorded the subjects' heart rate at one-minute intervals. At the end of each workout, ratings of perceived exertion (RPE) were recorded, while the heart-rate data was used to determine the subjects' predicted maximal oxygen consumption and caloric expenditure. The participants were given 48 hours of recovery rest between each workout test.
Results showed that female subjects demonstrated slightly higher numbers of heart rate maximum and maximal oxygen consumption than the male subjects, and the percentages for both groups registered well within the range to provide a high-intensity dose of exercise. The tests also found the male subjects burned an estimated 441 to 699 kcals per workout, while females burned a total of 302 to 544 kcals per workout.
"The American Council on Exercise tests programs like P90X as part of our mission to help empower the American public with the information and tools needed to live a fit and healthy lifestyle," ACE's chief science officer, Cedric X. Bryant, said in a statement. "High-intensity, interval-style home exercise programs can be a time-efficient workout for many individuals—particularly those with a baseline level of fitness."

The Next Christopher Nolan Movie Slated for 2017
Cult director Christopher Nolan's next – currently untitled – feature has been slated for a 2017 release.
The Batman Begins and Inception director is to face his next challenge following the mammoth success of his Interstellar last year which brought in $673 million worldwide. And apparently this has in no way hindered the director, with Warner Bros. picking up the film and announcing it – with next to no information about the feature – as airing from July 21 of that year.
The studio has all rights on the new project but has given film fans no details about the feature, with the dating announcement being the first news of the project. They have handled all three films in Nolan's Dark Knight – Batman Begins, The Dark Knight and The Dark Knight Rises — along with his 2010 sci-fi hit Inception, the trilogy grossing $2.45 billion worldwide with Inception taking in over $800 million, making it no surprise that they would want to snap up the next feature to come from the director.
However, when it came to distribution Warner Bros. had a fight on their hands with the studio only being responsible for the international rollout, while Paramount landed the domestic release.
Typically Nolan produces through his Syncopy label with spouse Emma Thomas, suggesting the next project could be done the same way. He similarly directed and had screenwriting credits on the Dark Knight trilogy, Inception, Interstellar and his 2006 drama The Prestige – again, suggesting that Nolan may have a writing credit in addition to a directing and production credit for the upcoming project. He may even – given his recent trend – bring on his brother Jonathan Nolan again to co-write the script, as he did with Interstellar – at this stage, any speculation is possible.
And to top it all, the Nolan movie is the fourth title to be dated for July 21, 2017, following Universal's Pitch Perfect 3, EuropaCorp's Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets and an untitled Blue Sky animation project from Fox. So, you may want make sure you're free that weekend to begin your mammoth cinema session. Don't say you weren't warned!
