7 Key Steps to Better Breathing with Asthma
The study found that, with both sets of techniques, the patients were able to reduce reliever inhaler use by 86 per cent, and controller use by up to 50 per cent.
Jenkins was surprised by the results. "The one we thought was going to be better was the one with nasal route of breathing [modeled after Buteyko]," she says. "The other set we thought wasn't going to help. We used them more or less as a placebo." But in fact patients who used either set of techniques had the same result.
Patients reported that when they experienced severe asthma symptoms, they still needed an inhaler. But when the symptoms were less intense, the breathing exercises alone sufficed. "We believe that's because of a delaying mechanism where patients feel they have control and they can take some steps without using their reliever," says Jenkins. "Their symptoms may only be short-lived, and they're going to settle anyway, so they don't reach for the reliever so promptly."
As for the reduction in controller medication, this study did not show that the breathing techniques can reduce inflammation in the airways, the underlying condition in asthmatics. However, doctors partly prescribe the amount of inhaled corticosteroid according to how often the patient requires his reliever inhaler. Therefore, an asthma sufferer may see the dosage of his controller medication reduced if the number of times a week he takes a puff of the reliever has decreased for a period of time.
Jenkins and her colleagues created a video that explains the two techniques and it's available free from the Cooperative Research Centre for Asthma and Airways. See it here.
Strategy 7: Butt Out!
"Everybody knows smoking is not a good thing if you have asthma," says Bowser. Yet, many asthmatics continue the dangerous habit, and others won't even quit for their children's health: a study in Manitoba found that parents of children who were diagnosed with asthma were no more likely to quit than other parents.
Smoke can trigger an asthma attack in just about anyone who has the disease, as it leaves irritating substances in the lining of the airways. Smoke also causes the lungs to create more mucus, while at the same time causing damage to the cilia, tiny hair-like structures in the airways that are meant to sweep out dust and mucus.
Although smoking asthmatics should quit, it's equally important for non-smokers to avoid being exposed to it second-hand. "Always follow a smoke-free living environment," advises Jan Haffner, vice-president of health initiatives for the Lung Association of Saskatchewan. "Not only in the home or in the vehicle, but the workplace and recreationally as well."
The Bottom Line: the leaner, fitter, more relaxed, smoke-free individual is likely to have fewer symptoms. And if you stick to an asthma medication plan that works for you, master some breathing techniques, and perhaps practice a little Ashtanga yoga? You'll likely not only breathe better, but feel better for it.

Ohh where do I start? I'll mention only few, there is much more:
Rebecca Pidgeon – The Raven
The Body Acoustic
An basically most (if not all) of the Chesky Records productions.
Rafał Blechacz – Sonatas
Rafał Blechacz - Chopin – the piano concertos
Lang Lang Live in Vienna – I was speechless after listening.
Peter Malick Group + New York City (feat. Norah Jones)
Steven Wilson - The Raven That Refused to Sing (And Other Stories)
John Hammond - Rough & Tough
Cincinnati Pops Orchestra and Erich Kunzel - Round-Up
I agree with the author of this thread, Michael Jacksons' productions are superb quality.
I can vouch for the first two on your list, I own both. Everything on the Cheskey label is very well recorded, their demo CDs are eclectic collections of amazingly well recorded music.

Prepping for Glam Night
6:00 AMBefore each special event I try to think ahead and prep beforehand starting with exfoliating my face and lips for a smooth makeup application. I'm obsessed with Cure Aqua Gel, my long-time gentle exfoliator love and slather my lips with Jack Black Intense Therapy Lip Balm since it goes on more matte and is great to use before applying bright lipstick.
To making sure my nails are on point I'll patch any chips and add an extra coat of Seche Vite. This is especially handy if I don't want to completely re-do an entire manicure since chips are not acceptable on both red carpets and dance floors.
Last but not least I like to keep my teeth looking photo-ready with the help of Crest 3D White Luxe Whitestrips Professional Effects. Even with all of the sequins and hairspray, there is nothing better than someone complimenting you on a nice smile, right?

The health of a Norwich man rescued from his partially submerged truck following a crash Tuesday in Montville is improving, according to a spokeswoman at Hartford Hospital.
Previously in critical condition, 49-year-old Jeffrey Weed was listed in fair condition on Friday.
Weed was the victim in a crash that state police say was caused by 31-year-old Paul F. Deckelman. Police said Deckelman was fleeing them in a stolen pick-up truck and speeding on Route 161 when he ran a red light at the intersection with Route 85 and struck Weed's passing truck. Weed's truck rolled onto its roof and into a pond where a state trooper, an unidentified good Samaritan and East Lyme police officers found Weed, unconscious and head under water, and pulled him to safety.
Deckelman faces multiple criminal charges.

It's My Turn
I am an actress/singer/potter a.k.a. artistic type who happily moved to the Rockaways after being priced out of Manhattan and Long Island City.
Gentrification had eradicated the affordable apartment in Manhattan's borderline neighborhoods such as East Harlem. Gone was that $650/month loft in the transitioning ghetto of East Harlem. Then gentrification and building department crackdowns eliminated any possibility of striking an agreement with the landlord of an empty factory to allow artist-in-residence (A.I.R.) tenancy.
Again, gone was that $950/month loft in the Long Island City factory – accommodations had to be made for $1 million and above loft condos. Thus, cheaper rent and the shores of the Atlantic beckoned me to the Rockaway peninsula and I answered. Since 2006 I have joyously and gratefully resided in a rental unit at the beacon of quiet progress known as Arverne by the Sea. I was arrogantly confident that I was well out of the greedy reach of full throttle gentrification.
After all, a 60 minute A train ride could deter even the most ambitious redesign.
Summer 2011 has welcomed a new, higher end (and more expensive) food concession to the Rockaway boardwalk. And I, too. have celebrated this arrival of upgrade by frequenting these new, shinier neighbors. My friend Dave (a photographer living in Broad Channel) warned that now "Williamsburg" has arrived, gentrification may push us out of the Rockaways as it had pushed him from DUMBO and me from LIC years earlier.
Pshaw, Dave! Rockapulco is too far away and too much a mixed bag of tricks, i.e., too many housing projects! We are finally safe and untouchable.
On July 2, at 7:56pm I was leisurely riding my three-speed green Raleigh bike, which I have had since junior high school (yes, the mid-1970s), on the Rockaway boardwalk at Beach 76 Street. Whereupon I was approached by a police officer and asked to stop my bike and present identification.
Note that I have ridden the boardwalk during the week and on weekends hundreds of times since my 2006 transfer. Upon that first arrival I consulted the Parks Department website and read the boardwalk signs so I would know the rules and regulations.
According to the officer I was in violation of the park's rules – bicycles were prohibited on the boardwalk on weekends after 10 a.m. I told her that I was following the rules because it was after 6 p.m. She then informed me the rules had changed and I should have read the signs AND most notably, the police were committed to enforcing this rule. Did she mean the signs which are replaced every year with the same but cleaner version of last year's sign? I stopped reading after year 3 when I realized this was the seasonal sign keeping drill.
When I returned home, ticket in hand, I promptly checked http://www. nycgovparks.org/facilities/beaches which read:
"Bicycle and Skate Path: Yes (except between 10:00 a.m. and 6:00 p.m. on Saturdays and Sundays between May 1 and September 30)"
Typically, the people riding on the boardwalk after 6 p.m. in the evening, particularly on the weekends, are the residents of the Rockaways, the beach visitors having already packed up to head home. Thus, more peace, much less people traffic.
Perhaps Dave may have a point. New rules and strict enforcement traditionally have signaled an arrival of a new sensibility, a new culture, a new (perhaps more desirable) resident.
As I am typing this letter amidst the loud prevalent poppings of illegal fireworks I recall: breaking up a fight on the beach last week between two teenage boys because NYPD was nowhere to be found; the several occasions on which I intervened between groups of battling teenage boys on the A train because MTA police could not be found; and my recent insistence that a dog owner pick up her dog's poop rather than cover it over with sand for a beachgoer to sit in the next day – enforcement was nowhere to be found.
Also, I consider the irony inherent in the fact that the police are enforcing the benign after-hours bicycling of a middle aged artist but the public must enforce the new outdoor non-smoking law. Hmmm.
The simple joy from the quiet enjoyment of a weekend sunset bike ride along the edge of the North American continent with the wind's wild embrace has now become intolerable and, moreover, illegal.
What next? Should I consider returning to my hometown because soon my rent will become exorbitant? Aaah, this strategy has worked in other NYC neighborhoods, so why not on desirable beachfront property?

L'ovedbaby is a mom started company who on a whim decided to make her own nursing shawl one night to help with her anxiety of nursing in public. Everyone loved the 4-in-one nursing shawl that it expanded into a complete line of burp cloths, arms free swaddlers, blankets, gowns, and clothing separates. All of L'ovedbaby's clothes are made out of 100% cotton, minimally processed, safety tested, and naturally flame retardant. All of the clothing is muted in color allowing you to mix and match as your heart desires. They are even perfect if you have a surprise baby on the way.
A received the Cute Cap in natural dots, lounge pants in caramel, and the sleeveless bodysuit in sand. Since it is in the high 80s lower 90s here in Tennessee it is a little too hot to wear the lounge pants outside, so he wears them to lounge around in when were at home. I love how soft they are and because he is already a bit on the big side for his age I don't have to worry about the band leaving a mark around his waist. The sleeveless bodysuit is perfect for outside wear! It reminds me of a muscle shirt and A always has to have on a temporary 'toota" on, so he looks like a little tough man. When he is wearing the bodysuit with his tattoos showing people always stop to tell him how cool he looks. The cute cap is one of the most adorable caps that A has ever wore. It kinda reminds me of a bikers cap for kids with the way it ties in the back. I know a lot of hats for kids slide off of their head easily, but you are able to tie the cap as loose or as tight as you you would like to prevent it from falling off.
I have washed the clothing items numerous times and I have not had any issues with shrinkage or fading. With number 3 due in December I have already been looking at L'ovedbaby's sleeveless overalls and wrap shirts because I know they are made with excellent quality.
Purchase the Cute Cap for $8.00
Sleeveless bodysuit for $14.50
Lounge Pants for $15.50

Tulo pushing to return on Friday
Tulo pushing to return on Friday
DENVER -- Rockies shortstop Troy Tulowitzki took batting practice at Coors Field on Sunday, and is pushing to begin a Minor League rehab assignment on Wednesday and return to the club in Detroit on Friday -- the first day he is eligible to come off of the 15-day disabled list.
Tulowitzki, who has not played since May 30 because of a left-groin strain, said he will come to Coors Field on Monday, with the team off, and take some swings and undergo further treatment.
He said "I'm going to push" to return on Friday, but the team's medical staff is being cautious, making sure Tulowitzki takes his comeback steps in the proper order so that they can lessen the possibility of him re-injuring himself.

Get an alert when new Arbouretum dates are announced
Dave Heumann has played with The Anomoanon, Bonnie 'Prince' Billy, Cass McCombs and Papa M. Arbouretum is the first band for which he is the primary songwriter, guitarist and singer. Heumann's idea for the band was one whose songs would evoke natural forms and movements as opposed to architectural constructions with rigid forms and linear progressions. The band's debut album, Long Live The Well-Doer, a decidedly solo affair, was released in 2004 on Thrill Jockey Records. Seven years on and The Gathering, Arbouretum's fourth album, was to a large extent inspired by The Red Book by Carl Jung.

Apr 26, 2014
In the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2014 match, Chennai Super Kings (CSK) were closing in on a comfortable win against Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH), with Dwayne Smith and Suresh Raina toying with the opposition bowling. Raina was dismissed by Ishant Sharma after playing a wonderful cameo.
Suresh Raina came to the crease after Brendon McCullum's wicket and wasted no time in getting off the blocks. Dwayne Smith, on the other hand reached his fifty and was looking impregnable in the middle. Raina smashed a huge six of Ishant Sharma and nudged the ball cheekily to the fine leg boundary and it brought MS Dhoni in the centre. Smith though wasn't finished and walloped another magnificent six over long on and Chennai needed only 22 of the last five overs.
Earlier, Dhawan had won the toss and chosen to bat first on the Sharjah wicket that is known to be conducive for batting. Hyderabad made one change to their line-up, in view of strengthening their bowling attack. Ishant Sharma came in to replace Naman Ojha. Aaron Finch scored 44 and then later some late surge helped Hyderabad score 145.

"Bachelor Pad" is off to a fantastic start, with romance and drama running rampant through the house after just one episode. Zap2it caught up with Tenley Molzahn at the KTLA News Morning Show to find about her experience on the show and what she thought of her friend Ali Fedotowsky's "Bachelorette" season.
"'Bachelor Pad' was definitely a ton of fun," gushes Molzahn. "Just a whole bunch of great people."
One of the great people in the "Bachelor Pad" house is Kiptyn Locke from Jillian Harris' season of "The Bachelorette." There have been rumors swirling of a possible romance blossoming between Molzahn and Locke.
"Kiptyn is one of the most genuine men I have ever met. Kiptyn is probably just one of the most gracious people that you will ever come upon," Molzahn says. "I was just admiring him throughout the whole show … what I can say about Kiptyn is if he has a possibility of still winning that $250,000, I think we could see him walking away with it."
Way to side-step that romance question, Tenley. She does tell us later that they are still "just friends," as she smiles and giggles.
Speaking of romance, Molzahn and Fedotowsky became good friends through their time on "The Bachelor," and Molzahn just had to find out what happened next on "The Bachelorette."
"I couldn't miss an episode, I had to watch my girl and root for her," says Molzahn. "For next 'Bachelor,' I would say Chris [Lambton] … [He's sensitive like I am], so it might be a little overwhelming for Chris, but if he is the next 'Bachelor' … I wish him the best."
Molzahn was also a fan of Ali's final pick, Roberto Martinez.
"I cannot tell you how giddy I was after actually seeing them together. It's definitely real, which I am so thrilled about."
"Bachelor Pad" airs Monday nights at 8 p.m. ET on ABC.

BlackBerry Style Cases are the best way to protect the investment of your new BlackBerry device. Due to the fact the BlackBerry Style features a new wide clamshell form factor for a BlackBerry, it means previous tight fit cases, holsters, skins and invisible shields you may own from previous phones will not work with the Style. The good news is that case and accessory manufacturers will be working around the clock to pump out BlackBerry Style Cases and our ShopCrackBerry e-commerce team will work diligently as they always do to get them in stock as fast as they can as they become available. Popular Types of BlackBerry Style Cases
Below you will find a few of the most popular categories of BlackBerry Style cases available: |
Best Selling Style Cases New BlackBerry Style Cases |
BlackBerry Style Holsters |
BlackBerry Style Skin Cases |
BlackBerry Style Leather Cases |
BlackBerry Style Hard Cases |
Figuring out the optimal case for your BlackBerry Style can be a bit of a challenge. There is no single perfect case as there are certain trade-offs to every type of protection. Screen protectors and invisible shields help protect scratches, but don't offer as much protection for bumps and drops. Hard cases and rugged cases are great for the rough and tumble BlackBerry owner, but tend to add a little more bulk to the device. Luckily, you can find plenty of user reviews for Style cases within the store and CrackBerry editors work hard to review cases. And all purchases from ShopCrackBerry are backed by a 30 Day Money Back Guarantee, offering peace of mind.

IT companies like SAP, Google, IBM & others shower pregnant women with extra perks to retain talent
CommentsSuman Kumari will soon be joining the new moms club. Her little bundle of joy is due to arrive in January. The assistant manager in SAP is working through her pregnancy, shrugging off all doubts about juggling motherhood, work and home. SAP has assigned her a cab to bring her to work and take her home. It has even assigned her an official buddy at work under its 'Run the Mummier' programme.
"My buddy Rashmi has a five-year-old daughter. She's a great sounding board at work to discuss my mood swings and emotional down times. She talks me through the slightest of discomforts I go through," Suman says. Hers is a nuclear family. "For me, it's family and SAP. I feel secure and confident, given that I have so much help at the office," says the 34-year-old.
Vast numbers of working women in India drop out of work, in most cases because of pregnancy and motherhood.
But now, with increasing pressure to retain talent and greater consciousness about the need for diversity at workplaces, companies are offering unusual perks and incentives and creating unique programmes to contain dropouts among women.
"Employers in India are increasingly recognizing the importance of creating a work environment that supports a healthy work-life balance and integrating policies and programmes to assist employees through crucial milestones in life such as child-birth," says Manoj Biswas, lead for HR in Accenture India.
Accenture runs a unique programme called 'Hours That Help' where employees can donate their unused vacation time to their colleagues who are in need of additional paid leave to attend to critical medical or personal matters. "Often, this option is used by new parents to attend to any critical or urgent childbirth related matters," says Biswas. Accenture also offers security escorts and dedicated medical cabs for expecting mothers.
Google India offers a baby bonding benefit of Rs 13,650 (around $250) to young mothers soon after the child is delivered. "There's a Rs 1.5-lakh insurance cover towards delivery-related expenses. Also, if the baby is sick or diagnosed with a problem, the new born is covered under the Rs 5-lakh general insurance scheme extended to the family," says Anita Nambiar, benefit lead at Google India.
The company offers a Rs 75,000 infertility cover. In case of adoption, Google bears the entire adoption expenses against bills that include the legal charges and fee charged by the agency. "The adoption benefit is extended to domestic partners that cover lesbians, gays, bisexuals and transgenders," Nambiar says.
Bhuvaneswar Naik, VP of human resources at SAP India, says there is clear evidence that maternity and childcare benefits translate into higher retention, helping firms also to develop strong women leadership benches.
"In SAP in 2007, 61 women employees on their family way went on leave and only 19 stayed back. This meant 69% of them didn't return from their maternity leave. In 2012, 134 went on maternity leave and 128 returned to work," he says.
IBM runs a programme to train in-home caregivers or nannies on the nitty-gritty of childcare. In-home care by a maid or nanny can be a flexible and affordable arrangement, but it may also be very unreliable because they lack knowledge about childcare. In a 2010 Global Work/Life Issues Survey conducted by IBM, parents using in-home services reported the lowest satisfaction rates compared to parents whose child was cared for by a relative or in a childcare centre (49% for in-home vs. 70% for relative care and 63% for centre-based care).
Till now, the company has organized 15 workshops across different locations in the country in 2011 and 2012.
Yahoo, whose CEO Marissa Mayer was appointed earlier this year when she was pregnant and who returned to work within days of delivering the baby, runs a volunteer-driven Women in Tech (WiT) group that supports women across the talent pipeline and enables them to successfully enter and remain in the IT workforce.

In this excerpt from today's edition of RTA Live, Hedgeye CEO Keith McCullough discusses an area in the market we've been (and remain) bullish on. He also discusses one of our Retail team's biggest calls, Restoration Hardware (RH).

Good article today in WWD - Free Shipping: Retail's New Battleground
Takeaway: Free shipping = an offensive weapon for retailers to gain market share.
We have seen it used sporadically from players in the department store/mass channel. Most notably, Target (TGT), who over the holiday season eliminated the free shipping threshold all together, and then in February cut its free shipping threshold from $50 to $25.
Over the next 18-24 months, it's likely we see free shipping across the board. That will manifest itself during this holiday season when retailers make a free shipping offensive play.
We've seen retailers, most notably Kohl's (KSS), talk about how a $25 shipping threshold isn't sustainable from a profitability perspective. We agree with the company on that.
For Nordstrom (JWN), it makes sense to offer free shipping and returns given the basket size, but for the mid-tier space...it's 600-1000 bps dilutive. The problem is that a)
- Consumers want it (in chart below its nearly twice as important as any other online shopping feature)
- If one domino falls, all others will have to move accordingly
Takeaway: PNRA remains on our Investment Ideas list as a long.
No Edge On The Quarter
This was likely a tough winter for Panera, considering its exposure to the Northeast, but same-store sales estimates of +2.2% seem to reflect this as they lag Black Box industry same-store sales of +3.0%. While we believe initiatives are driving a sales and traffic lift, incremental costs associated with these initiatives are increasing and we, along with the rest of the street, don't have the greatest clarity around the potential impact of this.
Buy It On Down Days
While limited visibility kept us away from the long side for most of 2015, the announcement of several initiatives a week and a half ago tell us that Mr. Shaich is serious about righting the ship. While visibility is still somewhat limited, we see an asymmetric setup to the upside here. Estimates have come down 6% and 12% over the past three and six months, respectively, and the stock has underperformed the XLY to a large extent over the past three years. Importantly, management has a feasible opportunity to reverse this trend. This is a stock you need to buy on down days.
Management Commentary Is Paramount
While the recently announced initiatives are certainly a good starting point, they're far from the endgame here. Levering up, refranchising, and buying back shares should support the stock over the intermediate-term as management works to operationally fix the business, but we see opportunity to go significantly above and beyond this. This is the first time management will address the investment community in a public forum since this announcement and additional commentary will be paramount. We laid out the activist playbook on a Flash Call immediately following this news, but don't know to what degree management will be receptive of our suggestions. We believe there's a significant opportunity to enhance Panera 2.0 (or create Panera 3.0), slow unit growth, aggressively refranchise stores, reduce capital spending, cut excess G&A, and sell off non-core assets such as the distribution business. We hope to hear about recent developments on any of these fronts on the call tomorrow.
Breaking Down 1Q15 Estimates
Same-Store Sales: The street is looking for 1Q15 EPS of $1.43 (-7.5% YoY) on sales of $659.1 million (+8.9% YoY). The system-wide comp outlook (+2.2%) represents a 90 bps sequential slowdown in the two-year average.
Cost of Sales, Labor Costs, Other Restaurant Expenses, and Restaurant Level Margins: The street expects cost of sales as a percentage of revenues to increase 26 bps YoY. We suspect PNRA could deliver a slight "beat" on this line considering the rather benign food inflation the industry is seeing to-date. At this time last year, Panera had 80% of commodity needs locked. Labor costs and other restaurant expenses as a percentage of revenues are expected to increase 132 bps and 5 bps YoY, respectively. We are in-line with these estimates. This would imply restaurant level margins of 16.87%, down 164 bps YoY. We could see a little bit of upside to this line depending on how cost of sales shake out. We note that this line has been a source of upside for multiple companies (CAKE, CMG) that have already announced 1Q15 results.
G&A Expenses and Operating Margins:
G&A as a percentage of revenues is expected to increase 13 bps YoY to 5.91%. We have little clarity on this line given the timing of certain initiatives, but wouldn't be surprised if it proved to be conservative. Operating margins are expected to decrease 192 bps to 9.15%.
Sentiment and Valuation
With a $177 average target price and only 37% buy ratings, the sell-side community remains rather cautious on the name. Short interest comprises 10.9% of the float. At only 12.1x EV/EBITDA (NTM), Panera trades at a significant discount to the majority of its quick-service peers. An accelerated transition to an asset light model should result in immediate multiple expansion.

Key Takeaway:
Risk measures are currently neutral (intermediate term) to positive (short-term). The obvious flash point is Greece, which continues to play chicken with the EU. That said, while the probability of Greece's exit from the Eurozone continues to rise, the expected fallout from Grexit appears to continue to fall.
European Financial CDS - Swaps mostly tightened in Europe last week. However, with the continued absence of a deal for Greece's bailout, bank swaps in that country widened between 298 bps and 639 bps.
Sovereign CDS – Sovereign swaps mostly tightened over last week. Spanish and French sovereign swaps tightened the most, by -5 bps to 100 and -3 bps to 38, respectively.
Euribor-OIS Spread – The Euribor-OIS spread (the difference between the euro interbank lending rate and overnight indexed swaps) measures bank counterparty risk in the Eurozone. The OIS is analogous to the effective Fed Funds rate in the United States. Banks lending at the OIS do not swap principal, so counterparty risk in the OIS is minimal. By contrast, the Euribor rate is the rate offered for unsecured interbank lending. Thus, the spread between the two isolates counterparty risk. The Euribor-OIS spread tightened by 2 bps to 10 bps.

The Nike Air Force 1: one of the most iconic pieces of athletic footwear ever produced. Originally released in 1982, it was the first shoe to use Nike's "Air" technology, and it would mark the beginning Nike's ascent into the company it is today. It was almost perfect, but it would take a famous rapper/mogul to truly bring out the shoe's potential 28 years later.
The design meetings must have been burdensome, lasting until the wee hours of the morning. Jay-Z, examining the shoe in silence for what seemed like an eternity, would finally suggest, "What if we made the thing totally black?" A look of dread would crawl across Nike CEO Philip Knight's face. "But, Jay," he would protest, "I don't think that would work. After all, a lot of the success of the first model hinged upon the fact that it was totally white."
Jay-Z would pull his shades off, lean forward in his seat, and confess to Knight, "I know it's a risk, Philly K, but you're going to have to trust me on this one. We'll put 'HOVA' on the tongue as a precaution." Knight, exhausted from the long brainstorming session, would eventually give in, saying, "OK, Jigga, but we can only fit 'Hov.' I think people still will grasp the general concept"
The shoe is one of five being auctioned off tomorrow at 9 a.m. for the Shawn Carter Foundation. Jay-Z will perform later in the evening at Radio City Music Hall as part of Nike's World Basketball Festival.

S•x Education
"Your body is a temple," our ancestors told their pubescent youngsters. 'Now go take a cold bath"
October 1974 | Volume 25, Issue 6
Something called delicacy overtook Americans soon after our successful Revolution. Like an incoming tide, it flowed all over the nineteenth century, reaching its high-water mark about a hundred years ago. From that point it slowly receded, leaving behind rock pools of what came to be identified as prudery. Today, with the tide at a record ebb, the word "delicacy" usually connotes either fragility or a choice food and certainly not "aversion to what is considered morally distasteful or injurious," which is what it chiefly meant to our ancestors.
The Puritans subscribed to moral strictness but not to delicacy in the nineteenth-century sense of the word. They called a spade a spade. A colonial lady or gentleman had no hesitation about using such words as "legs" and "belly" to describe those parts of the body; but their children and grandchildren preferred "nether limbs" and "lower portion." Perhaps one reason why this came about was that many families were rising into higher social spheres and felt insecure about how to behave there. They were, in fact, unwittingly fashioning the great American middle class, which was to become the arbiter and dictator of our manners and morals, replacing both church and monarchy. In colonial days most people had tried to behave in a blameless manner for fear of an avenging God. Fear of Mrs. Grundy had also been a factor, but now, in more worldly times, that lady assumed a little more importance and an outraged deity a little less. As for the monarchy, which had been represented in the colonies by the royal governor and his circle, the citizens of the new Republic were eager to show that they despised it. Intensely patriotic, they were out to prove that the United States was the noblest, purest land on earth. Standards of propriety must therefore be lofty indeed, and the men relied on their wives to set these standards and to bring up the children in accordance with them. A squeamish female became the ideal, and girls grew up with the conviction that if they were properly squeamish, they would be thought refined.
One book that spelled out how delicacy could be achieved was A Father's Legacy to His Daughters . Originally published in England, it was often reprinted in America during the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries. The author, a clergyman named John Gregory, cautioned his readers not to be afraid of being thought prudish. "When a girl ceases to blush, she has lost the most powerful charm of beauty," he assured them. Young girls, he said, would be better off if they remained "rather silent" in company. "Wit is the most dangerous talent you can possess." As for humor, it is "often a great enemy to delicacy …" and so is learning ("if you happen to have any learning, keep it a profound secret, especially from the men …"). Apparently American girls took this advice to heart, for foreign visitors often complained of great difficulty in trying to engage them in ordinary conversation; and John Qjiincy Adams, as a young man around Boston, wished that "our young ladies were as distinguished for the beauties of their minds as they are for the charms of their persons. But alas! too many of them are like a beautiful apple that is insipid to the taste."
Considerations of delicacy also governed falling in love. "… Love is not to begin on your part" was the decree of Dr. Gregory. "[It] is entirely to be the consequence of our attachment to you. … As … nature has not given you that unlimited range in your choice which we enjoy, she has wisely and benevolently assigned to you a greater flexibility of taste on this subject. … If you love him, let me advise you never to discover to him the full extent of your love; no, not although you marry him; that sufficiently shows your preference, which is all he is entitled to know." Dr. Gregory further informs his audience that "violent love" (delicacy prevents him from clarifying this term) will lead to "satiety and disgust" and that it is a woman's job to avoid it.
To instill and foster delicacy in children became an increasingly vital element in their rearing. A child displaying indelicacy was sure to be barred from other children's houses by watchful parents. Table manners, dress, conversation, even the food one preferred involved questions of delicacy. A properly delicate girl, for instance, asked for a helping of white meat of chicken (never breast) and declined—at least in public—such robust items as corned beef or blood pudding. There were debates as to whether it was indelicate for girls to attend public lectures. Lydia Child, in 1833, defied majority opinion by writing that skating, hoop rolling, and other boyish sports were suitable for little girls, but only "provided they can be pursued within the inclosure of a garden, or court; in the street, they would of course be highly improper. It is true, such games are rather violent, and sometimes noisy; but they tend to form a vigorous constitution; and girls who are habitually ladylike will never allow themselves to be rude and vulgar, even in play."

NHL notes: Ron Francis buys into Hurricanes
Former Hurricanes player Ron Francis, already a member of the team's front office, became a part owner on Wednesday, Sept. 12, 2012. (Andrew Wallace/Reuters/Files)
Hockey Hall of Famer Ron Francis is now a part-owner of the team he starred with during his playing days, the Carolina Hurricanes.
Francis, the team's vice-president of hockey operations, and three other North Carolina-based investors -- Ron de Lange, Eliza Kraft Olander and Brian McHenry -- were announced Wednesday by majority owner Peter Karmanos, Jr.
"It is very encouraging that these locally based investors feel so strongly about our franchise and its future," Karmanos said.
Francis, who was inducted into the Hockey Hall of Fame in 2007, ended his career as the Carolina franchise's all-time leader in nearly every offensive category, including goals (382), assists (793), points (1,185) and power-play goals (132). During his 23 NHL seasons, Francis played 1,731 games, had 549 goals and 1,249 assists with Hartford/Carolina, Pittsburgh and Toronto and also won the Stanley Cup on two occasion.
Former NHL star Mats Sundin has been hired as an adviser with the Swedish national team, the newspaper Aftonbladet reported Wednesday.
Sundin, 41, will work with the national and junior national programs.
"It will be interesting to see this collaboration during the coming season, culminating in the (world championship) at home in Stockholm," Swedish Ice Hockey Association manager Tommy Boustedt said. Sweden and Finland will be co-hosts of the 2013 tournament, with the semifinals and final being played in Stockholm May 18-19.
Sundin won three world championships and an Olympic medal as a player with the Swedish team.
Sundin retired after playing the 2008-09 season with the Vancouver Canucks. He played 18 seasons in the NHL, including 13 with the Toronto Maple Leafs and four with the Quebec Nordiques, getting 564 goals and 785 assists in 1,346 games.
Defenceman Lubomir Visnovsky is still a New York Islander.
On Wednesday, an NHL arbitrator refused to overturn the June 22 trade that sent Visnovsky from the Anaheim Ducks to the Islanders for a second-round draft pick in 2013.
Visnovsky appealed the trade, arguing that he had a valid no-trade clause in his contract despite accepting a trade from the Edmonton Oilers to the Ducks in 2010. The arbitrator disagreed.
Visnovsky, 36, had six goals and 21 assists in 68 games with the Ducks last season.
The Washington Capitals signed forward Troy Brouwer to a three-year, $11-million contract extension. Brouwer, 27, will make $3.6 million in 2013-14, $3.65 million in 2014-15 and $3.75 million in 2015-16 ... The Toronto Maple Leafs signed goalie Ben Scrivens to a two-year, $1.225 million contract. Scrivens is expected to back up James Reimer this season ... The Pittsburgh Penguins signed their two first-round pick from the June draft, defencemen Derrick Pouliot and Olli Maatta. Pouliot was taken eighth overall while Maatta went 22nd ... The Detroit Red Wings are expected to sign forward Justin Abdelkader to a fourt-year contract before the current NHL CBA expires on Saturday. Red Wings general manager Ken Holland told MLive.com that "we've been close for a few days" and anticipates getting the deal done ... The Carolina Hurricanes re-signed forward Jeremy Welsh to a two-year deal worth $1.7 million. Welsh, who played at Union College, made his NHL debut in the 'Canes last regular season game in 2011-12.

Liam Thorp, chief reporter / / News
A TAXI driver has said he no longer feels safe after his vehicle was showered with stones by yobs in Bolton town centre.
Farhan Patel, aged 38, from Deane, who drives for Metro Taxis, was driving in Blackhorse Street just after 9am on Friday when a group of five teenagers pelted his cab with stones and damaged his taxi.
He pulled over and tried to video the youths with his phone but they ran away.
The incident comes just days after 25-year-old Stephen Westhead was jailed for five years at Bolton Crown Court for throwing a lit firework on to the lap of Metro driver Akilbhai Fatakiya while he was behind the wheel.
Mr Patel said it is particularly worrying that such incidents are happening in the daytime. He added: "This happened in the morning in the town centre with loads of people around, it makes me wonder if we are ever safe.
"I am just a person who is trying to do his job and to help people get around, it is unbelievable that kids of 14 or 15 think it's okay to do this — I mean what is going on?"
Mr Patel said he believes incidents like this may be pre-planned on social media sites.
Director of Metro Taxis Nick Astley says people do not realise drivers work for themselves and rely on their vehicle to make a living.

He said: "Luckily the damage in this case hasn't been too big, but if a driver has to take his car off the road to get it fixed then that can affect their income and obviously their family.
"The bigger issue though is the danger these incidents can cause, if those stones caused a car to swerve and kill someone then those kids could face a manslaughter charge — I just don't think they realise how serious the consequences could be."
"It is disgusting when someone is coming to work and trying to make an honest living and is attacked like this."
Police are investigating.

A Virginia police officer is facing animal cruelty charges in connection with the alleged maltreatment of a former service horse.
City of Suffolk spokeswoman Diana Klink said that on May 22 the adoptive owners of a retired service horse said that the animal was in poor condition at the time of its adoption. The animal was subsequently euthanized by a veterinarian, Klink said, and the Suffolk Animal Control Department investigated the case.
Klink said that the horse's former owners, Brian Davis and his wife Jennifer Davis, both of Suffolk, were later arrested and charged by the Portsmouth Police Department with cruelty to animals and inadequate care of animals.
Neither Brian nor Jennifer Davis was available for comment on the case.
Portsmouth Police Department representative Jan Clark said that Brian Davis has been employed by the Portsmouth Police Department since 2001 and is currently on an administrative assignment.
"His employment will be decided by the chief once the case is concluded," Clark said.
The case remains pending.
