When we walk into the doctor's office, for many of us, the scenario looks like this: We list off our symptoms, the doctor asks a few questions, writes out a prescription and we go on our way.
From her work in primary care settings, Risa Weisberg, Ph.D, assistant professor (research) and co-director of the Brown University Program for Anxiety Research at Alpert Medical School, has seen "firsthand how a great many patients accept a prescription from their provider without asking many questions about it, or often, without even knowing for what symptoms/disorder it is being prescribed."
Such a scenario can stall or sabotage your treatment. Confused, you're likely left with tons of questions, unaware of what you're taking and how it's supposed to help. You may be feeling helpless — a spectator in your own recovery — and hopeless, if the medication doesn't seem to work or has bad side effects. Your doctor likely is clueless about your real concerns, not having all the information to guide his or her decision-making process.
But you don't have to feel like a powerless bystander, on the outskirts of your own treatment. In order to become a sharp self-advocate, you just need some information. Here's some hints for for taking medication safely and effectively. At the end, you'll also find a basic glossary of common medication-related terms.
1. Haven't picked a physician yet? Do your homework and conduct an interview. Before you decide on a doctor, whether it's a primary care physician or a psychiatrist, ask some questions about qualifications and see if he or she is a good fit for you. Questions to get you started: Where did you go to school and do your training? Do you specialize in a specific mental illness? Do you have hospital privileges? Here's a list of excellent questions to ask a psychiatrist during and after your first appointment. They focus on bipolar disorder, but you can easily adapt them to any disorder.
2. Ask the doctor about your diagnosis. You have the right to know precisely what you're diagnosed with and how the doctor came to that conclusion. Making a diagnosis doesn't happen in a 5-minute interview. You want to make sure that the doctor conducted a thorough evaluation. Did the doctor get your medical and mental health history? Did you complete a standardized test? Did the doctor ask about your symptoms and recent experiences?
3. Seek out psychotherapy. Medication isn't your only option. Depending on the disorder, you may only need psychotherapy or you may take medication and see a therapist. Psychotherapy provides lasting benefits, whereas a medication's effects stop as soon as you stop taking it. Cognitive-behavioral therapy effectively treats depression, anxiety disorders and bipolar disorder. To find a therapist, you can ask your doctor for a recommendation, browse the Web or check with universities and medical schools. Be sure the therapist specializes in your mental illness. For advice on finding a good therapist, check out this eBook.
Some Web sources for finding a therapist:
- Psych Central's therapist finder
- The Association for Behavioral and Cognitive Therapy for CBT-trained therapists
- Children and Adults with Attention Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder
- Anxiety Disorders Association of America
- National Eating Disorder Association
4. Before taking the medication, ask specifics. Peter Roy-Byrne, M.D., professor and chief of psychiatry at the University of Washington at Harborview Medical Center, and Michael R. Liebowitz, M.D., professor of clinical psychiatry at Columbia University and managing director of The Medical Research Network, suggest asking:
- How will I know if this medication is working?
- What are the side effects, and what do I do if I experience them?
- When will the medication start to work?
- How long will I have to take it?
- If I take it for X amount of time, what's the likelihood of reducing symptoms?
- What are the dose requirements?
- Will you be monitoring me throughout the course of this medication?
- When will you talk to me next?
The Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality has a basic handout with more questions. There is a thorough list if your child is taking medication, which you can easily revise for your situation.
5. Unsure about medication? Explore why. Are you on the fence because of potential side effects, the stigma of having a disorder or taking medication, a bad past experience, fears of addiction or uncertainty about the validity of your diagnosis? Talk to the doctor about your concerns before making the decision to take or refuse the medication.
6. Research your medication. Before having your prescription filled, look for information about your medication and its side effects.
7. Pose questions to your pharmacist. Along with your physician, the pharmacist is a great resource for information, so ask away!
8. Remember that you and your doctor are a "health care team," Weisberg said. Together, you collaborate on your treatment. And as such, you should feel comfortable asking questions and raising concerns, all the while respecting your physician's expertise. If you feel like your doctor isn't listening or brushes you off, find a professional who will be part of your team. It's what doctors are there for.
9. Keep a list of your medication. Include the name of your medication and the dose and always bring your list to appointments, said Holly Swartz, M.D., associate professor of psychiatry at the University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine and Western Psychiatric Institute and Clinic in Pittsburgh. Your list is especially essential if you're seeing both an internist and a psychiatrist, she added.
10. Keep another list of medication you stopped taking. Include the reasons you stopped taking the medication, Dr. Swartz said. This gives your doctor the whole picture and helps guide decisions about what medications will be safe and effective for you.
11. Purchase a pill box. A pill box can be helpful if you're taking many medications or multiple doses, said Dr. Swartz, who suggests counting out your pills in the beginning of each week.
12. Take your medication as prescribed. This may seem like a no-brainer, but many individuals skip a dose or stop taking medication altogether, because they left their medication at home, forgot to get a refill, couldn't stand the side effects or felt better. Not taking your medication can make symptoms return.
"If you stop an anxiety drug, the anxiety may come back, and with the passage of time, it could be worse than before," Dr. Roy-Byrne said. Or you may experience "discontinuation syndrome," what many people think of as withdrawal. Symptoms vary for each individual, but may include insomnia, dizziness, anxiety, blurred vision and hallucinations.
Relapse is another concern. Individuals with bipolar disorder are at higher risk for relapse if they stop taking medication, Dr. Swartz said.
13. Monitor your progress. Some doctors will give you tools, such as a standardized scale to measure your progress. If they don't, start documenting it on your own and bring the materials to every appointment. For instance, for bipolar disorder, Melvin McInnis, M.D., psychiatrist and professor of mood disorders with the department of psychiatry and the Depression Center at the University of Michigan, suggests keeping a journal with your mood, quality of sleep and energy levels and finding a self-report scale to track your symptoms. If you can't find a good scale, create a daily log of symptoms your medication is supposed to reduce and evaluate them from 1-10. And keep a record of side effects. Dr. Roy-Byrne also has his patients closely monitor their symptoms before they start taking medication. This way, it's easier to pinpoint the changes the medication has caused, not your natural symptoms.
14. Give your doctor feedback. Let your doctor know how you're feeling, particularly if you're experiencing bothersome side effects. Your doctor can help minimize side effects by adjusting the dose, changing how you take the medication or prescribing a different drug altogether. Have trouble sleeping? Your doctor may suggest taking medication in the morning. Not communicating with your doctor can compromise treatment. "If you have secretly stopped one medication, your doctor may start telling you to increase another medication without understanding that your new symptoms are actually unrecognized withdrawal symptoms from stopping the other medication," Dr. Swartz said. When tapering off medication, if something doesn't feel right, talk to your doctor, who can then make the proper adjustments.
15. Understand that it's a process. Finding the right medication may "require a process of trial and error and refinement," Dr. Swartz said. "Try not to feel discouraged if the medications do not work right away or cause side effects that require serial medication adjustments." This is why giving feedback to your doctor and tracking your progress is key.
16. Disclose any supplements, vitamins or medication you're taking. Any of these substances can interact with your medication — some with dangerous results.
Medication Lingo
Here's a quick look at common terms you may run across:
Half-life: The time it takes for half of the medication to leave the body. For instance, Paxil has a short half-life, leaving the body in about a day, whereas Prozac, which has a longer half-life, takes a week.
Black-box warning: The most serious type of label applied to prescription drugs by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). For instance, the FDA requires that all antidepressants carry a black-box warning about the potential increased risk of suicidal symptoms in 18- to 24-year-olds.
Side effects: Adverse effects caused by medication.
Discontinuation syndrome: One or more side effects that occurs when individuals stop taking medication abruptly, including dizziness, headache, insomnia and numbness. For more on discontinuation syndrome, see here and here.
Antidepressants: A group of medications used to treat mood disorders, including depression, by acting on neurotransmitters in the brain – namely dopamine, serotonin and norepinephrine. The following are types of antidepressants: selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs); serotonin and norepinephrine reuptake inhibitors (SNRIs); tricyclic antidepressants (TCAs); and monoamine oxidase inhibitors (MAOIs).
Antipsychotics (or neuroleptics): Developed in the mid-1950s, these medications are known as traditional or typical antipsychotics. They treat severe mental disorders such as schizophrenia by reducing symptoms such as hallucinations and delusions. Antipsychotics have a risk of extrapyramidal side effects, including tremors, slurred speech, akathisia (shakiness and fidgeting) and tardive dyskinesia (involuntary movements). Other medications, including Prozac, Zoloft and Lithium, also may cause tardive dyskinesia.
Atypical (or "second generation") antipsychotics: Developed in the 1990s, this group of medications also treats psychotic symptoms. It's the first line of treatment for schizophrenia and may be prescribed to treat the manic phase of bipolar disorder. Overall, tardive dyskinesia and extrapyramidal symptoms occur less often with atypical antipsychotics. However, recent studies suggest that Abilify may cause akathisia.
Atypical antipsychotics also may raise the risk of obesity, diabetes and high cholesterol. Clozapine is an effective atypical antipsychotic, but is usually prescribed when other medications don't work, because of its ability to reduce white blood cells (which fight infection) in some people.
Monoamine oxidase inhibitors (MAOIs): Used in the 1950s, MAOIs were the first antidepressants on the market. They work by metabolizing dopamine, norepinephrine and serotonin to help boost mood. These medications typically are prescribed when other antidepressants haven't worked, because they require stringent dietary restrictions.
Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitors (SSRIs): This group of newer antidepressants acts on the neurotransmitter serotonin by blocking its reuptake (reabsorption). It's believed that higher levels of serotonin in the brain will help mood. The most famous SSRI is Prozac, which was introduced in 1987. Common side effects include sexual problems, trouble sleeping, nausea, dizziness and weight gain. Mayo Clinic offers advice on reducing SSRI side effects.
Serotonin norepinephrine reuptake inhibitors (SNRIs): A class of medications that inhibits the reuptake of both serotonin and norepinephrine. Common side effects resemble those for SNRIs but typically cause fewer sexual problems. Effexor (venlafaxine) can cause high blood pressure at high doses, so it's important to have your blood pressure checked regularly.
Tricyclic antidepressants (TCAs): An older group of medications, TCAs are prescribed when newer antidepressants are ineffective to treat depression. They're also prescribed for bipolar disorder. TCAs either work on serotonin, norepinephrine or both (called "dual action"). They may not be safe for individuals with heart disease and may be fatal in overdose.
Mood stabilizers: These medications help to regulate mood and are prescribed for bipolar disorder and borderline personality disorder. Examples include lithium and anti-seizure medications, such as Depakote, Tegretol and Lamictal. Side effects include weight gain and nausea.
Benzodiazepines: A group of fast-acting medications, including Xanax, Ativan and Valium, that treats anxiety, panic disorder, insomnia and sometimes bipolar disorder. Benzodiazepines act on the gamma-aminobutyric (GABA) receptors, inducing relaxation. When used for a long time or in high doses, benzodiazepines may cause physical dependence. Stopping abruptly can trigger severe symptoms, including anxiety, irritability, difficulty sleeping, muscle cramps and confusion.
Stimulant medication: Medications used to treat attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), including methylphenidates (Ritalin) and amphetamines (Adderall). Stimulant medications increase dopamine levels, affecting the core symptoms of ADHD: inattention, impulsivity and hyperactivity. Side effects include reduced appetite and sleeping problems, but these tend to go away after several weeks or after adjusting the dose.
Serotonin: Chemical in the brain that regulates mood, sleep, sex drive, appetite, memory and learning, body temperature and behavior.
Dopamine: Neurotransmitter that controls pleasure-seeking, emotion, attention and movement.
Norepinephrine: Neurotransmitter that regulates blood pressure, heart rate and respiration.

Authors: Wen Zhang, Rui Zhang, Jiaxuan Chen, Xiaoan Wang and Yukun Zhang
In this paper, we made a research on the situation of ecological construction in Chinese eco-cities by the case study of Sino-Singapore Tianjin Eco-city (SSTEC). It is import to analyze how the applications of green technology and innovation have affected residents' lifestyle and whether the residents have lived in a way more environmental- friendly than before. Several aspects of people's lifestyle in SSTEC are analyzed in the paper. Each aspect is discussed in the view of government, visitors and the residents themselves respectively. To investigate the real living conditions of residents, this paper provides empirical data on the residents of SSTEC. The results reveal that while people's environmental awareness has improved remarkably and the application of new technology and indicators has come into play, some habits and demands of the residents are contrary to the goal of eco-friendly lifestyle. The conclusion is significantly valuable for the decision makers, planners of new eco-cities as well as those who cares about the future of sustainable human settlements.
Keywords: environmental-friendly lifestyle, eco-city, Sino- Singapore Tianjin Eco-City

How to Sell Gym Memberships in a Hypercompetitive Market
For Gym Operators
How to Sell Gym Memberships in a Hypercompetitive Market
If there is one thing that most business owners can agree upon, it is that traditional marketing is no longer as effective as it once was. The ubiquitous nature of the internet changed marketing forever.
The following is a summarization of an education session from the 2015 IHRSA Convention, produced with full permission from IHRSA. The full-length video is available for purchase at ihrsastore.com.
About the Speaker
Casey Conrad has been in the health and fitness industry for over 26 years. She is an internationally recognized author and speaker. Her books are translated into several languages. She enjoys motivating fitness professionals to excellence and individuals to improve their lifestyle by using natural products, removing toxins and chemicals, incorporating regular exercise and making better nutritional choices.
Today, consumers prefer to receive information and updates from the internet, outdating old media marketing strategies. Traditional marketing strategies typically involved businesses purchasing advertisements in newspapers, magazines and telephone books, as well as advertisements delivered through the mail. A few years ago, when people still read newspapers and magazines, this media represented solid marketing strategies.
In addition to the inefficiency of traditional marketing, the fitness industry is saturated with competitors from yoga and Pilates studios, fitness clubs, and personal training studios. Despite this hyper-competitive market, there is no significant increase in market penetration. Customers are becoming increasingly savvy and price is no longer the most important sales driver in the world of fitness options.
4 Ways to Create Successful Marketing Efforts
There are four actions that operators can take to significantly improve the chances that your marketing campaigns will be successful.
1. Assemble a Lead-Driven Team
"Natural networkers" are naturally comfortable meeting new people and cultivating interest in your products or services. They have outstanding people skills.
Guerilla and Social Marketing
Consider existing connections with other businesses to establish profitable business relationships. Relationships generate leads, which become sales. Evaluate social currency – the potential resources or leads that develop from a social media presence. Leveraging an employee's social currency represents a great guerilla and social marketing tool.
Joint Marketing
Joint marketing cultivates long-term symbiotic relationships with businesses that have similar customer bases. This combination creates consistent and profitable business-generating activities for both parties.
Engage All Members of Staff
Identify joint marketing opportunities with your entire staff. If each staff member identifies at least one joint marketing opportunity a month, profitable joint marketing relationships will expand.
2. Spend Time Leveraging Technology and Building Your Own Lists
Consider compiling your own list rather than purchasing a compiled lists of a target market. This provides more control and specificity over your target market and allows you to build greater trust with your consumers.
Capture mechanisms are essential to compiling lists, building trust, and creating leads. You can utilize external, internal, guerilla, or social marketing as capture mechanisms to entice consumers.
Here are several examples of capture mechanisms:
- Offer limited-time guest passes to your club
- Publish e-books that include previous customers' testimonials
- Produce fitness or nutrition videos or lectures for online sharing
- Make nutrition programs available to potential members
Provide these tangibles to potential customers in exchange for their names and email addresses. This will cultivate a level of trust and allow you to identify leads based upon the customers' interests.
Leverage technology in the form of auto-responder software. This will convert leads to sales by monitoring all activity 24/7 and responding accordingly.
3. Create a Clear Competitive Advantage
If your fitness club does not subscribe to the low-price fitness model, it is essential that it delivers high-quality service. Otherwise, potential members will go with the cheaper options that are available. It's important to establish who your target market is because, without a clear target market, you cannot create a clear brand. By establishing your core market, you are able to create more members by catering to their specific needs.
How Are You Different from the Other Fitness Clubs?
Be a unique service provider. Offer special programs, such as exercise programs for new moms or programs for people with arthritis, to attract people who want niche fitness. Partnering with nutritionists or dieticians can provide your customers with unique and enriching services. Implement "feeder programs" such as weight loss and lower-back exercise programs.
4. Professional Sales
To ensure your business offers professional sales, hire professional salespeople. Implement a standardized interview process that includes situational selling assessments and personality testing. If your fitness club lacks full-time salespeople, the front desk staff should be trained to identify leads and convert them into sales. Assign responsibility for sales performance to employees in order to ensure follow-ups on potential leads.
These four components are essential to the overall success of your club's sales numbers. To summarize, you want to assemble a lead-driven team; build your own target lists and leverage technology; consider your competitive advantage and brag about it; and hire a professional sales team with quality sales skills. Invest in these components and you will likely see higher member satisfaction and revenue in your club.

MLS Disciplinary Committee Suspends Four
- Posted by Drew Epperley
- On May 15, 2013
- 0 Comments
- 2013 MLS Season, 2013 Week 12
Well today was expected to be a busy day and for the MLS Disciplinary Committee it was probably a busy couple of days reviewing everything from last week.
First up is a reduction in one players' suspension from last week. MLS Commissioner Don Garber has reduced by one game the suspension issued to San Jose Earthquakes forward Marvin Chavez for violent conduct in a May 8 game against Toronto FC. After hearing an appeal from Chavez, the Commissioner's decision means that Chavez will be eligible for the Earthquakes game May 18 against the Colorado Rapids.
Next up is four more suspensions for this weekend. Without getting too much into it, I'll just give you the words from the MLS DC email:
Separately, the MLS Disciplinary Committee has suspended and fined the following players:
- Johnny Leveron (Vancouver Whitecaps FC) – Suspended one game for a reckless challenge that endangered the safety of his opponent, LA Galaxy forward Jose Villareal, in the 3rd minute of their May 11 game (VIDEO). Leveron will serve his suspension May 18 when Vancouver plays Portland.
- Mario De Luna (Chivas USA) – Suspended one game for aggressively retrieving the ball in the 86thminute of the May 12th game against the Portland Timbers (VIDEO). Because De Luna will serve a one-game suspension for yellow card accumulation May 19 when Chivas USA plays Real Salt Lake, he will serve this one-game suspension May 25 at Colorado.
- Edson Buddle (Colorado Rapids) – Suspended one game for a reckless challenge that endangered the safety of his opponent, Columbus Crew midfielder Tony Tchani, in the 58th minute of their May 11 game (VIDEO) Buddle will serve his suspension May 18 when Colorado plays San Jose.
- Kwame Watson-Siriboe (Real Salt Lake) Suspended one game for violent conduct that endangered the safety of his opponent, Montreal Impact forward Marco DiVaio, in the 52nd minute of their May 11 game (VIDEO). Watson-Siriboe will serve his suspension May 19 when Real Salt Lake plays Chivas USA.
After watching last week's games, I'm not surprised by any of those suspensions. Very shocked to not see Philadelphia Union defender Bakary Soumare not be suspended or fined for his little shoulder charge in Chicago.

If you want to bend the culture you can do that through your media.
Not everyone will change their mind in one day. But no revolution happened in one day. It took decades to get smoking out of airplane flights.
But if you don't know that you are a media company, you need to. Because you have thoughts and feelings. Sharing them is one thing. The magic happens when you care. When you reach out. When you push. When you decide to connect the dots for the group.
Get your domain. Make a website. Make social media work for you, not the other way around. Pick your spots. Care. Share. Push. Connect. Inform. This only works if we help each other. That is the true root of revolution.

Raw zucchini pasta carbonara topped with Kinda Bacon. Grab yourselves some Kinda Bacon & give this recipe a go! Check out Vegie Projects website for more delicious vegan/veggie recipes.
The below recipe & photography is directly sourced from Vegie Projects website.
I've recently discovered this awesome product/vegan bacon substitute called Kinda Bacon. It is made from coconuts and tastes so good. It's smoky, salty and crispy. It's great on it's own as a snack and also works really well when added to any meal.
I haven't made a raw recipe in a long time and when I tried Kinda Bacon the first dish that came into my mind was pasta carbonara!
I made my zucchini pasta using a julienne peeler (or you could use a normal vegetable peeler instead and make a fettuccine style pasta) and added to it a creamy cashew nut based sauce with little bits of coconut bacon and some sliced mushrooms. It was so rich and delicious!
This is such an easy recipe to make and it is best eaten straight away as I don't think it would stay fresh for long.
- 2 zucchinis
- 3/4 cup raw cashew nuts
- 1/2 cup water
- 1 tablespoon nutritional yeast
- 1/2 garlic clove minced
- 1/2 teaspoon dijon mustard
- salt and pepper to taste
- 1/4 cup Kinda Bacon
- 5 button mushrooms thinly sliced
- 1 spring onion thinly sliced
- chopped fresh parsley to serve
- Prep time: 10 min
- Servings: 1
- Difficulty: easy
Make your zucchini pasta using a julienne peeler or normal vegetable peeler. Place pasta on a strainer and set aside (the zucchinis may release some moisture).
To make the sauce if you're not using a high speed blender (such as a Vitamix) it's best if you soak the cashews for a few hours, otherwise you don't need to worry. Place the cashews, water, nutritional yeast, garlic, mustard, a pinch of salt and pepper in a blender and blend until it's a smooth sauce. Combine sauce with the remaining ingredients and add to zucchini pasta.
Serve with some chopped fresh parsley and extra Kinda Bacon on top.

Donna Rizzo, Nashville, TN
After dancing all my life, I turned to clay. My choreographing, performing and teaching children have definitely had an impact on my clay world. The themes I used and characters I portrayed in dance are now finding themselves in my ceramic sculptures and functional pottery. Hopefully they reflect the love, joy and playfulness I find in making them.
I work with clay at different temperatures using both electric and raku kilns. Each piece dictates how it will be fired and glazed. Most of my pieces move or suggest movement from rocking horse tea pots to children swinging, dolls hanging, dresses evoking rhythms, to southern churches illuminated by candle light. My dance studio has now become a clay one and you may find me there happily improvising and creating one of a kind pieces looking for homes.

Prairie Central-Fieldcrest baseball
It's not over until it's over, said Yogi Berra. Prairie Central can attest to that after scoring seven runs in its final at bat to edge Fieldcrest 10-9 in a nonconference baseball game at PCHS Friday afternoon.
The Knights had scored three runs on the top of the sixth inning to take a 9-3 lead. Noah Nordstrom reached on an error and Hayden Carls singled before a strikeout was recorded for the second out.
Derek May singled to drive in Nordstrom and took second on the throw. Carls scored on a passed ball and Matt Cook singled to drive in May for a seemingly comfortable six-run lead.
But the Hawks found life against FHS reliever Michael Morse. Kory Livengood led off with a base hit and Eddie Shumaker followed with a base hit to turn the lineup over. Lito Macias singled for PC's third straight hit, driving in Livengood in the process.
Carter Nowak walked to load the bases before the first out was recorded. Peyton Rigsby drew a walk to force in Shumaker.
Seth Reed delivered the big blow when he turned on the first pitch and deposited it beyond the left field fence for a grand slam that tied the game.
Bryson Musser followed with a walk. He stole second one out later and scored on Livengood's second base hit of the inning to give the Hawks the lead.
Prairie Central took a 3-0 lead in the first inning. Rigsby singled home Nowak with he first run and Reed's sacrifice fly drove in Billy Printz. Rigsby scored on a passed ball before a fly out ended the inning.
Carls singled in Landon Cook and Nordstrom to get the Knights on the board in the second inning. Fieldcrest took a 6-2 lead in the fourth with a four-run outburst.
Walks to Travis Cook, Nordstrom and Morse loaded the bases with one out. May cleared the bases with a grand slam as the Knights appeared to be in command.
Reed had five RBIs, including his grand slam, to lead the Prairie Central offense. Livengood had two hits and RBI while Nowak collected two hits. Rigsby had a hit and two RBIs and Macias added a hit and run batted in. Musser, Cooper Palmore and Shumaker each singled.
Macias got the win in relief of Nowak. Macias allowed two runs, three hits and struck out one. Nowak went the first 5 1-3 innings, giving up seven runs on six hits and four walks. He fanned six.
Morse took the loss after allowing six runs on four hits and three walks in his inning of relief. He struck out one. Ryan Naas started, giving up four runs, six hits and four walks to go with three punchouts.
May had a grand slam, single and five runs batted in for the Knights. Carls had two hits and two RBIs and Matt Cook singled twice and drove in a run. Nordstrom doubled while Morse and Landon Cook each singled.

Ignore the other one.
Rebecca Adlington attempting to defend her 400m crown. Nicole Cooke goes for glory again in the Women's Road Race.
Most pointless Olympic sport?
got to be Dressage. Walking a horse around a rectangle shouldn't make you an Olympic athlete, ever.
Quite enjoying the archery and handball so far today.
YAY Olympics!
Quite excited. I've never been before. Mostly because I support Bristol City.
- twentynine this'd this
Gotta watch the Team GB men's handball team get DESTROYED by France later. Nothing particularly stands out before that, might just flick through everything and take as much in as possible. FUCKING SPORTS YES.
First time I've checked out the ACTUAL BBC Coverage and I'm greeted by the USA swimming team doing a music video
I assumed they'd be showing the most important event currently going on, as I didn't know what to watch assumed this would be useful, what a crock of shit
- twentynine and pieces_of_reece this'd this
the men's judo is tedious
they just disorder each other's clothing for four minutes. The women's is better; stuff actually happens.
Also off to Wembley.
Not that much of an oddity for me, mind. Not sure what I'll do with myself, sitting through two games and knowing full well that Drogba isn't going to score at any point.
New Zealand just scored against Egypt in the football
at Old Trafford :). Chris Wood will likely be our best player in a couple years time.
Swimming heats
Rebecca Adlington nearly failed to reach the final; (whenever I see her I am always reminded of that Frankie Bolyle joke), some posh blokes have been rowing a boat and those darned cyclists are getting in the way of the buses again. Also, it is raining at the beach volleyball. Ha!
Going to the football at St James' later! Pretty excited.
oping to tag along with the Japanese fans for the first game and then cheer Maynor Figueroa's long-balls on my own in the second game.
It's nice and sunny up here in the North East, and there's a chilli and beer festival on this afternoon before the football, magic.
Canoe slalom? I'm going along to see that tomorrow
I hope the weather there is better than it has been today!

Occuzzi has some massive massive balls
one point away from the semi final victory, gets a false start and a yellow card. Next hit he comes off the line even quicker to win it. Aron Szilagyi will win it though. Hungarians are just too good at sabre, and he is so cool it's unbelievable. Quick as anything as well.
More reasons for you to watch the fencing
The finalists come out to the strains of 'Kashmir' by Led Zep.
Szilagyi is walking away with this
He is SO quick. 8-1. Outstanding, beautiful fencing.
That was fucking amazing
None of you even watched it, did you? Arseholes.
Playing well

What the hell, i'm turning into one of those people who gets really into sports they've never cared about before. Olympic fever, there is no cure ...
It was a fantastically competitive match
that's when sport is at it's most enjoyable, helped that the crowd was hyped
No one knows anything about these sports
It's the Olympics!

I meant to reply rather than "this" the above. I'm at the hockey now.
That was great fun. Germany vs USA next. This venue may look even more great under the floodlights.
it was quite good. 2nd german goal was class. left that game at half time though cos we had to get back across to kew and i'm knackered now night
The GB-Japan match was fun as we scored earlier after which
the result was never in doubt. The Germany-USA match was more of a match and was rather tense due to the close score line. Yeah, many people left after the first match or after the first half of the second match. I booked off the whole of the Olympics and so luckily getting home late wasn't an issue for me. I've another hockey session towards the end of the games. Looking forward to it. Yesterday was a mix of pissing it down with rain and sun, luckily no rain just sun when the hockey started. Made for a lovely spectacle. Enjoy the rest of the Olympics.

I love how the commentators are already putting in the excuses for TEAM GB in football :D
They've only been together for 2 weeks!
watching GB vs Russia in the basketball
(with the fitba on the background) GB doing pretty well so far but its early doors
Why are the GB players' names not familiar?
(Yes, besides that I'm Amer and know almost nothing about the sport) Why haven't you got your usual bunch from the World Cup 'n all that?
You guys looked great in the 1st half
Now I think my neighbor's kid's high school team could beat you. Tsk.
I speak too soon
Well done, Brits!
Hopefully she'll smash the 800m.

Well done indeed!
From 8th up to 3rd - excellent.
but it basically just suggests the official site. It says you can't but you can see a list of all available tickets by selecting a date range.
Is it possible to get any tickets on the door?
(stupid but hopeful question)
I got tickets for the football on the door the other day
but that's a bit different. Otherwise, check Twitter
I went to Spain vs Japan at Hampden Park, Glasgow
they stopped selling them online within 24 hours I think, but there was a box office set up there. There was also ridiculous queues for sales and collections (I've heard this happened in Newcastle too) so give yourself plenty of time if you do try this.
did you go?
There was some horrendous cheatery going on in the second half. Really really bad! Wanted Spain to score so much to cancel it out. Honduras were miiiiles better than them first half though.
yeah, but any football team desperately holding on to a game will push the limits.
We were by the Spanish goal in the second half so I didn't see a lot of it too clearly. Really went off Muniain with all his moaning and whinging. And the way that nine of the Spanish players ran up to the ref at the end of the game was pretty detestable. I think Juan Mata was the only one that went to congratulate the Hondurans.
Special note for the Japanese fans, they were brilliant.
We were in the corner opposite the big screen
the main Muniain bit of whinging that resulted in him being booed for the rest of the match looked totally warranted to me. The keeper was making like he'd been hit in the face despite the lack of people anywhere near him. And he'd flopped over just before that for no reason at all. It was just ridiculous.
And what was with their number seven just lying down & getting stretchered off at the end?
Anyway it was good fun! Plenty of incident and had a good laugh at the playacting. Only saw the second game but aye the Japanese fans around the place were great.
Ah, we were in the corner of the screen.
But we were only on the third row, so all the play-acting in the Honduran box was pretty hard to make out. I guess the ref didn't have the guts to give the keeper a second yellow card, would've been pretty interesting if he had.
The number seven didn't get any contact, did he? I suppose he could claim he pulled a muscle or something. It could've really cost his team though if he was just prostrate in the centre circle when Spain scored.
yeah it could've cost him I guess
he did the same thing in the first half too and the referee just let him lie there. Then there was a really good opening for him just after he got up but he didn't run onto it cos he had to pretend he was a bit injured. He looked gutted :)
Yet enough abject failure from whingeing Adlington
I'm off to stare at a spoon
you're kidding, yeah?
400 ain't her bag, man. yep, you kidding
LOL at shot of general Team GB megafans in crowd on BBC 3 there
looking thoroughly bored with the basketball. Bet they were well excited when they managed to buy their £200 worth of tickets too.urbanfox and Severed799 this'd this
hah I noticed that
what the fuck was wrong with them, they weren't expecting GB to be good were they?!
I was at the Old Trafford Football games today.
Enjoyable. Neymar and Oscar were incredible. Name on the cup.
4 x 100m relay freestyle
Surely the most exciting event so far. USA leading from the start, Phelps being unstopable, clear lead after 300m and all that was needed was Lochte to finish in style. Except that Agnel put in a superb performance, coming from behind to beat the Americans by an arm's length in the final few strokes. Amazing stuff.
Agnel was mindblowing.
by the way, how have The Netherlands been doing so far?
2 medals
Gold in women's cycling road race, silver in women's 4 x 100m freestyle women's relay.
(better than the Brits, so far)
More tickets were just released!
none I want... :-(
Back from Wembley.
Well happy for Giggs getting on the scoresheet :) He deserves some recognition on the international stage.

Our Program
Our Junior High program is tailored to teach character traits and Christ-like virtues in a strong academic class atmosphere. Students will learn how to integrate Godly character into their daily lives, a critical aspect of their foundation as they learn and grow and then continue on as high schoolers. With class sizes consisting of 25 students per class, Junior High students will also have one elective per semester in addition to their daily core subjects in a block schedule to allow core subjects a longer duration of teaching time.
Truly these students become leaders on our campus and one way that we help to facilitate their leadership is a week long Spiritual Camp at Woodleaf where Junior High students deepen their relationship with the Lord and with one another and develop ways that they can serve on campus to mentor younger grades. Student council is another way that Junior High students can become involved in campus activities and leadership opportunities including raising the American flag for the school as well as the potential for morning bulletins that are broadcast to each of the classes in the school.
Students will recite the pledge of allegiance, Christian flag pledge, and Bible pledge daily as they learn to honor God and their country. Our curriculum is approved by the Association of Christian Schools International (ACSI) to teach students their daily academics including Math, Science, Bible, and Humanities (Language Arts/History). Students will also receive additional subjects throughout the week such as Physical Education, elective courses (PC lab for computer programming and web design, MAC lab for adobe photo suite, and Art). Music is a required class enabling students to choose between Performing Arts, Worship Arts, Band or Choir. In addition, students will participate in a discipleship/stewardship class after chapel held on Wednesdays to be the hands and feet of Jesus as they learn to give back to the community by performing various service projects for those in need in the community. For more specific information on the curriculum used in each grade level, please refer to the following:
Curriculum for Grades 7 – 8 [PDF]
Standardized Testing
Similar to public schools, we also participate in standardized testing in the Spring. Since we are a private school, we are not permitted to use the testing instrument currently used in California public schools known as Standardized Testing and Reporting (STAR). However, we believe that these standardized tests are a critical tool for our administration to help evaluate our curriculum and the effectiveness of our teaching. In past years, we have used Stanford Achievement Test 10 (SAT10), a standardized testing instrument endorsed by the Association of Christian Schools International (ACSI).
In the spring of 2011, ACSI announced that it had selected TerraNova as the new standardized testing instrument. Beginning in the spring of 2012, our school began to use the TerraNova test instead of the SAT10. One of the benefits of moving to this test is that TerraNova provides us electronic results within 5 days of receiving the tests, enabling us to provide more efficient turnaround times for our parents and faculty.
We often get questions from parents who would like to know how our student performance on standardized tests compares to public schools. Because we are a private school, we do not have access to the public school STAR tests, nor are we provided with a formula or means of comparing public school STAR scores to our standardized test scores. What we are able to offer parents with regards to standardized test scores is a graph, which you can select below, showing our performance by grade level compared to the National average.

welcome to the raid fireside gathering
Fireside Gatherings are events where Hearthstone players can meet up together, grab food and drinks, socialize and play Hearthstone together. There's usually a tournament running, but if competition isn't your thing, feel free to relax and challenge others to some casual games.
I'm in, what do I need?
Glad you're on board for some fun! All you need to participate is:
- A portable device capable of playing Hearthstone.
- An up-to-date Hearthstone Installation.
- Your own Blizzard Hearthstone/Battle.NET account.
- Your spookiest decks!
- €11.20 entry fee (this is charged solely by the venue, and in return, you'll receive some awesome food).
How do I join the fireside?
Alright! You're here, you've brought your phone/tablet/laptop and you're ready to play some Hearthstone.
First of all, you'll need to get connected to the Token Wi-Fi network. We recommend you signup using a fake email address, however, that's up to you! If you need any help connecting your device to the WiFi, just bring your device over to the registration table and we'll be happy to help.
Once you're online and at the Hearthstone Menu, open up your friend list by clicking the button on the bottom left. At the top of your friend list, you'll see a play icon beside your name. Click on it, and you'll be given the option to hit "Fireside Gathering".
You'll be prompted to scan for Fireside Gatherings. Once the event has started, you'll be able to find our Fireside Gathering. From there, you'll be able to find all players at the Fireside on your friend's list, and queue to play with them from within the app.
when & where is the fireside happening?
The Hallow's End Fireside is happening Sunday, the 29th of October in Token, Smithfield. Simply mention you're there for the Hearthstone Gathering on arrival, and you'll be shown where we are. We'll be taking up residence in the basement of Token from 17:30-20:30.
Be sure to get there well ahead of time, as we're extremely limited to just 40 spaces, first come first serve. We're anticipating high turnout rates, so we recommend players arrive at 17:00 and sample some of Token's great games before the Fireside Gathering begins.
How do I receive my card back/nemsy?
If you're attending one of our Firesides, I'm sure you're wondering how you can get your hands on some of the sweet loot Blizzard provide for those brave enough to leave their gaming caves.
Players will receive the unique card back by playing three different opponents while at the Fireside Gathering. Nemsy will appear to players who partake in the Tavern Brawl, while at the Fireside Gathering (Raid is a verified Tavern).
We encourage all players regardless of skill level to try their hands in the Hearthstone tournaments we offer. The tournament at the Fireside will be a Standard Tournament.
Competitors must register their interest in competing at the registration desk no later than fifteen minutes after the beginning of the Fireside.
Due to the time constraints of our Fireside, the format of our tournament will be BO1, with BO3 Last Hero Standing Finals. This means in all matches except the finals, simply queue up your deck of choice and try to beat your opponent.
The finalists will bring four classes and inform their opponent of their chosen classes. Each finalist will ban one of their opponents choices, and proceed to play until they have no decks remaining. Once a player loses with a deck, they cannot use that deck again in the series.
After each match, each player should report their match score to the registration desk. The group stage will run as long as feasible given time constraints (estimated four rounds).

Shawn had to depledge. He is sad for this and other reasons. So give him a hug. :)
Very quiet huge row this morning between Teddi and Doc. Really would like to know what their deal is.
I need to do laundry. Grumph.
No phone messages. That's always a good sign.
The broom for Hansel & Gretel is filling Prof Jones's office with the most fantastic aroma of cinnamon.
I forgot to turn down the heater before I left this morning but it's finally cooling down a bit now.
That is all.
Perhaps I need some tea. Wonder where my cup went...
Should probably do something about jug of milk in sock drawer.
I'm glad Joe & CJ came and went before Shawn showed up. I'm also kinda glad I didn't ask them where he was.
I've just noticed that the top pane of my window is down about 4". Maybe *that*'s why it's so darn cold in here at night.
Okay, really, that's all.

Tabs randomly open
From time to time, sometimes randomly, sometimes when i middleclick to open a new tab, a huge amount of tabs will open (5-10). These are usually some 'mainstream' website homepages like Reddit, The Verge etc. I've already run a Malwarebytes scan, but that hasn't fixed it.

Do these tab open at sites you've recently visited or are some of them sites you don't recall visiting?
I visit some of them, but the vast majority are ones I've never visited

Text: Mark 6:16-28
I love foreign words.If you're wondering what's the meaning of ypóschesi (trying to figure out how to pronounce it?...i don't know how to pronounce it either :)) but it means "PROMISE" in Greek word.
Have you promised something to someone and you thought that the promise you've made would not affect you and somebody you care about?
I believe all of us are guilty of promising something to someone that affected us and somebody we care about.
There are times that we make some promises without thinking it through much or maybe sometimes we are just careless about our words or maybe there are few times that we are just tired of using our mind or we just don't realize that the promises we make would have a great impact not just to us but to someone we care about.
In my text today (if you have a Bible at home or you have an access to biblegateway, you could just click the link below this post and read it from there), you could read there that King Herod made a promise that really affected not just himself but somebody whom he honored..somebody whom he protected...somebody whom he liked to listen to....and that somebody was John the Baptist.
Although Herod was the "brain" of John the Baptist's imprisonment, he feared of killing him. Verses 18-20 say, "For John had been saying to Herod, "It is not lawful for you to have your brother's wife." So Herodias (Hereod's wife) nursed a grudge against John and wanted to kill him. But she was not able to, because Herod feared John and protected him, knowing him to be a righteous and holy man. When Herod heard John, he was greatly puzzled; yet he liked to listen to him."
But during his birthday, he made a careless promise to his daughter because he was pleased with her dance number. He said, "Ask me for anything you want, and I'll give it to you." And he promised her with an oath, "Whatever you ask I will give you, up to half my kingdom."(Mark 6:22-23)
Ooopps...that was his carelessness. Herod didn't know that it would affect him and someone else. Little did he know that his daughter would ask her mother what request she would make. And since her mother was nursing a grudge against John the Baptist (verse 19),she answered her daughter immediately, "The head of John the Baptist." (verse 24).
In verse 25, it says, "At once the girl hurried in to the king with the request: "I want you to give me right now the head of John the Baptist on a platter."
"Oh nooo!", i guess that was King Herod's silent reaction in addition to his distress. Yes he was distressed about it. Not just he was distressed but the Bible says, "The king was greatly distressed (verse 26).
But, even though he was greatly distressed, he still didn't refuse the girl's request.
The following verses would tell you what was the next scene in that birthday party...it wasn't a party anymore but it turned out to be a "funeral party ".
Verse 26 say-29 say, "..but because of his oaths and his dinner guests, he did not want to refuse her.So he immediately sent an executioner with orders to bring John's head. The man went, beheaded John in the prison, and brought back his head on a platter. He presented it to the girl, and she gave it to her mother. On hearing of this, John's disciples came and took his body and laid it in a tomb."
I believe Herod was greatly distressed for what had happened not just on that day but throughout his lifetime...if he was a Filipino, he would have said "sana hindi na lang ako pinanganak...malas naman ng araw ng kapanganakan ko"...sorry for those who don't understand Tagalog :) . You might need an interpreter for that...hahaha..(but seriously,i don't wanna add to what the Bible said, it's just that when we do something that causes us guilt, it remains there unless we ask forgiveness from God and he only can remove that guilt).
Promising something to someone? Think it through first. It may cause you distress or your life or someone else's life. Be careful. Use your brain as our Pastor would always remind us.
Actually, what happened to Herod was not just a simple promise,it was with an oath...i believe it's deeper than a promise but even if it was with an oath, he could have refused to have John the Baptist beheaded. He was just pressured because there were guests and it was his promise to his daughter (verse 26).
The book of proverbs has to say about that situation, i mean, if we were trapped by what we promised. Read Proverbs 6:1-5:
1 My son, if you have put up security for your neighbor,
if you have struck hands in pledge for another,
if you have struck hands in pledge for another,
2 if you have been trapped by what you said,
ensnared by the words of your mouth,
ensnared by the words of your mouth,
3 then do this, my son, to free yourself,
since you have fallen into your neighbor's hands:
Go and humble yourself;
press your plea with your neighbor!
since you have fallen into your neighbor's hands:
Go and humble yourself;
press your plea with your neighbor!
4 Allow no sleep to your eyes,
no slumber to your eyelids.
no slumber to your eyelids.
5 Free yourself, like a gazelle from the hand of the hunter,
like a bird from the snare of the fowler.
like a bird from the snare of the fowler.
The Message Translation is clearer:
Dear friend, if you've gone into hock with your neighbor or locked yourself into a deal with a stranger,If you've impulsively promised the shirt off your back and now find yourself shivering out in the cold, Friend, don't waste a minute, get yourself out of that mess. You're in that man's clutches!Go, put on a long face; act desperate.Don't procrastinate— there's no time to lose.Run like a deer from the hunter, fly like a bird from the trapper!
ypóschesi? pistév̱o̱ óti mésa apó. Ah what? Are we talking about tables and grandchildren here now? Hahaha..that only means..."Promise? ....think it through."

IPUMS does not typically provide customized datasets upon request. Rather IPUMS provides an online data extract system that allows users to customize and download data themselves. From the sounds of it, you may be interested in using data via IPUMS USA (which includes the US Census and American Community Survey) or IPUMS CPS (which includes the Current Population Survey). A couple notes about your request: First, if you want monthly data, you'll need to use IPUMS CPS. The US Census and ACS only provide annual data. Second, while US states are identifiable in modern samples, the CPS data is only able to identify about 45% of households within US counties. This is due to confidentiality restrictions. Finally, while the CPS does include some demographic variables, the demographic information is not as rich as in the US Census/ACS data. We also have training material and online tutorials that may be helpful. I hope this is helpful.

I woke up one morning last week feeling betrayed. I couldn't pinpoint the source of this overwhelming nausea of deception, but there it was, swimming in the pools of last night's dinner mixed in with some proverbial bile.
Luckily for my body and eternal salvation, I received a quick diagnosis for those feelings of betrayal by writer Ida Lichter, who recently wrote an article for The Australian, later picked up by The Huffington Post [Religion], entitled "Feminists Betrayed Islamic Women." In this piece, Lichter laments the shameful silence of feminists – apparently only existent in the Western, non-Muslim flavors – on the atrocities committed against "Islamic women," specifically in Pakistan and Afghanistan by the Taliban. Lichter complains that the well being of these "Islamic women" ("and homosexuals," just for good measure) has been compromised by her fellow feminists for the sake of "overarching aims to rid the world of colonialism, neo-colonialism and capitalism." This apparent commitment to anti-imperialism has left "Islamic women" scarred with the entrails of "Islamist misogyny."
Okay, just take a minute.
When the United States and allied forces invaded Afghanistan in 2001 and began what would become a disastrous war, a prime justification that was repeatedly voiced by war hawks on all sides of the political spectrum was that the women of Afghanistan needed to be liberated from the misogyny of the Taliban. Very quickly, this reasoning for war was adopted by "Western feminists." Lila Abu-Lughod, a professor of anthropology, wrote perhaps one of the most important articles on the subject, exploring the question of "Do Muslim Women Really Need Saving?" In the article she looks at how Western feminists quickly became war hawks through their sense of entitlement and burden – however earnest at times. Abu Lughod reiterated these points in an interview with the Asia Society, pointing out:
"… The problem, of course, with ideas of "saving" other women is that they depend on and reinforce a sense of superiority by westerners.
When you save someone, you are saving them from something. You are also saving them to something. What violences are entailed in this transformation? And what presumptions are being made about the superiority of what you are saving them to? This is the arrogance that feminists need to question…"
Abu-Lughod states in the interview:
"Plastering neat cultural icons like "the Muslim woman" over messier historical and political narratives doesn't get you anywhere. What does this substitution accomplish? Why, one has to ask, didn't people rush to ask about Guatemalan women, Vietnamese women (or Buddhist women), Palestinian women, or Bosnian women when trying to understand those conflicts? The problem gets framed as one about another culture or religion, and the blame for the problems in the world placed on Muslim men, now neatly branded as patriarchal."
Rather than seeing the oppressions of entire populations and their histories, native men and women are pitted against one another in narratives that serve to resurrect age old cultural imperialism. There is no doubt that many, perhaps even most, "Western feminists" have nothing but good intention and earnest concern for the well being of "Islamic women" – but the source, structuring and aims of these sympathies and concerns need closer examination at both the collective and individual levels. It is thus imperative for feminists, who come in more than just "Western" stripes, to acknowledge their own limitations and mortality as well revisit their approach to the experiences, identities and situations of "Other" women.

Discussion in 'Grappling Technique' started by Bullitt68, Oct 27, 2010.
I learned Portuguese. Gave me a lot more options in terms of life, friends and women.
Love it
Good luck bro. Welcome back
Triangle is always good
hahahaha right
Wait i'm confused? Are you moving their as in living their for the rest of your life? Or are you just taking a training vacation?
The original plan was to go for 6 1/2 months. About half way through that trip I made the decision that I was going to move there forever.
Upon coming home to sell all of my belongings and move back, I met my now wife. I did end up going back and changed my plans to stay until I got my black belt. I ended up staying another 9 1/2 and before I received my black belt.
In total, this blog spans the
few of months before the going to Brazil
6.5 months first trip
7 months home to sell belongings
9 months on the second trip
close to 2 years.
Do you miss Brazil?
I'd like to make it back to Rio this year or next, but Ricardinho has left Rio for somewhere else in South America with his family, and now FightZone is being run by Gabi and (I think) Levinho. It looks like Bala and Rufinho are running the Cantagalo Social Project full time now as well, so I'm curious what training is like... I try to keep up with who is training where via Instagram but it is tough! The Checkmat presence in Brazil seems to be seriously waning with everyone so spread out. I may go back to Santos instead of Rio this time and train at The House.
I've never trained BJJ but have limited Muay Thai and boxing experience, I am planning to be travelling Central and South America next year and think it'd be cool to maybe set up in Brazil for a couple months to do some proper BJJ training (planning on doing the same with Muay Thai in Thailand) and was wondering if people had any advice?
I've read through this thread a bit but there's a lot to get through. Any advice on where I should go? Locations, gyms etc. If there are good schools outside Brazil I'd be open to that too, especially if it's cheaper as I've heard Brazil isn't that cheap. Any other advice for someone who's never done it?
There are a lot of really great and friendly schools in Brazil. As you can guess I would suggest Gordo's school in Barra. Admittedly it's been awhile since I've been to Brazil so hopefullly some people make suggestions.
Cheers. I've sent an email to Brazilian Black Belt (Felipe Costa) which seems pretty good but haven't heard anything back. I'll look into Gordo's school too.
How much roughly would I need to budget per month? I'll just be training and no partying at all.
Woah, first hearing Ricardo left Rio. Hopefully I can make it back also in a few years.
There are also excellent Muay Thai gym in Brazil such as Chute Boxe, Sinbadai and Champions Factory
You can get in touch with the Nova Union Academy they get well with the Americans.

BALTIMORE -- Cloud Computing caught Classic Empire in the final strides Saturday to win the Preakness by a head.
The 13-1 long shot was one of five fresh horses in the race that didn't run two weeks ago in the Kentucky Derby.
Derby winner Always Dreaming and Classic Empire dueled for most of the race before Classic Empire stuck his nose in front midway on the far turn. It looked as if Classic Empire would go on to win, but Cloud Computing ran him down on the outside.
Always Dreaming faded to eighth in the 10-horse field on a cool and cloudy day at Pimlico. A record crowd of 140,327 was on hand.
Ridden by Javier Castellano, Cloud Computing ran 1 3/16 miles in 1:55.98 and paid $28.80, $8.60 and $6. It was just the dark brown colt's fourth career start, the fewest of any horse in the race, and only his second win.
Classic Empire returned $4.40 and $4, and 31-1 shot Senior Investment was another 4 3/4 lengths back in third and paid $10.20.
New York-based trainer Chad Brown earned his first victory in a Triple Crown race. Castellano won for the second time. He rode Bernardini to victory in the 2006 Preakness.
Castellano comes from a racing family, with a father, uncle and brother who have been jockeys.
"We've been working for a long time for this moment," he said. "It's great for the family."
The 142nd Preakness had been billed as a match race between Always Dreaming and Classic Empire, and it was from the start.
They broke out of the starting gate next to each other and the fight was on. Always Dreaming took a slight lead with Classic Empire on his flank.
Meanwhile, Cloud Computing was back in third as Castellano watched the duel unfold in front of him.
Always Dreaming was the first to throw in the towel, surrendering the lead to Classic Empire midway around the final turn.
"We didn't have an excuse," said Todd Pletcher, who trains Always Dreaming. "We were in a position we expected to be, and I think the turnaround was a little too quick. He ran so hard in the Derby and today just wasn't his day."
Always Dreaming lost for the first time in five races this year. He'd won his first four by a combined 23 1/4 lengths.
Classic Empire and Julien Leparoux went into the stretch with three-length lead.
At that point, trainer Mark Casse thought he was headed there, too.
"Of course," he said.

ECB's Draghi earlier said that they would do whatever required to preserve the Euro, with the currency being irreversible. With the announcement we saw an immediate sharp reversal in the currency having been under renewed pressure, to now stand just off session highs at 1.226. European equity indices were under pressure prior to the announcement amid concerns over growth after a number of companies had disappointed with their earnings reports, but the broad Eurostoxx is now around 2% higher, with Spain and Italy both outperforming.

The Building Energy Efficiency Disclosure Amendment Act 2015 (Cth) (the Amending Act) amends the Building Energy Efficiency Disclosure Act 2010 (Cth) (the BEED Act) and will commence on 1 July 2015.
The Amending Act introduces new exemptions and provides for simpler certification under the Commercial Building Disclosure (CBD) program. The amendments aim to:
- reduce the administrative burden borne by businesses to comply with the CBD program; and
- provide greater flexibility for businesses wishing to proactively maintain current Building Energy Efficiency Certificates (BEEC) for their property portfolio.
If you are a prospective buyer or tenant of large commercial office spaces, you will need to comply with the Commonwealth Government's building energy efficiency disclosure laws.
The CBD Program
The purpose of the CBD program is to promote the disclosure of information about the energy efficiency of buildings to prospective buyers and tenants. Owners or landlords must obtain a BEEC prior to sale, lease or sublease or advertising a building for these purposes.
Disclosure Affected Buildings
A building is "Disclosure Affected" if:
- the net lettable area of the building exceeds 2,000 square metres; and
- at least 75% of that net lettable area is used as office space.
BEECs are valid for up to 12 months and include:
- the building's National Australian Built Environment Rating System (NABERS) Energy star rating;
- a tenancy lighting assessment for the relevant area of the building; and
- general energy efficiency guidance.
Key changes under the Amending Act
- Inter company transfers: Transactions between wholly-owned subsidiaries are excluded from disclosure obligations.
- Unsolicited offers: A BEEC is not required to be provided where an owner/landlord receives an unsolicited offer for sale, lease or sublease.
- Delayed start date: Allows for a new BEEC to be issued in advance of the expiry of a current BEEC and for it to commence once the current BEEC expires.
- BEEC format: Removal of the requirement that 6 pages of standard energy efficiency guidance text be included in the BEEC. This information will now be available online in an interactive format.
Details in respect of unsolicited offers, and at what time a BEEC requirement may be triggered, will be included in prescribed regulations to be released in the coming months.

The fund aims to provide higher returns than traditional bricks and mortar property funds and benefit from the greater liquidity of property shares but this makes comparisons difficult for performance purposes, says OPM.
The fund is in the specialist IMA sector, which it points out is not an appropriate measure of performance because it contains miscellaneous funds that do not fit in other sectors, including funds as diverse as a single-country Korea fund and biotechnology portfolios.
OPM says the closest indices to the fund are the UK commercial property index and the FTSE Epra Nareit global index. Although OPM uses these indices as an indicator of performance, it says it will not use them as a benchmark when constructing its portfolio.
The fund firm says the recent markdown in the property sector was well timed for it as it came at the same time the group was looking to build up the holdings in its portfolio.
Recent additions to the portfolio include Trinity Capital, Eastern European property investment trust, Dawnay Day Treveria and the iShares Epra/Nareit Asia property exchange traded fund,
OPM has been monitoring Trinity Capital since it listed on the Alternative Investment Market in 2006. The multi-manager thinks it is well poised to deliver attractive returns from its India office and its focus on the retail and hospitality sectors. Dawnay Day Treveria is a play on German commercial property, an area OPM feels is attractive over the long-term.
Eastern European investment trust, managed by former Newton European fund manager Keiron Gallagher, has had a slow start, OPM says, but adds it expects the fund to be a strong performer. The ETF was added to provide cost-effective access to the Asian real estate markets.
OPM investment director Tony Yousefian says: "We wanted to provide exposure to the Asian property index because it is a broadly based index, it is liquid and provides a reasonable yield."

What's with Kenyans and grabbing land? Learning institutions with demonstrations? USIU is planning to express their opposition on the grabbing of what they claim to be their land located in Muthaiga North on the 13th of July. The VC together with the media, The Standard in particular made the public aware that the land belonged to USIU through a Caveat Emptor Notice on Friday July 8th.
According to a student, they are willing to participate in the peaceful demos and fight for what rightfully belongs to them. This might be the first serious demonstration the university will partake in. When asked to define what a peaceful demonstration is, because Kenya has never seen one, in regards to Lang'ata Primary, University of Nairobi and CORD demonstrations, the student assured that they will just rant out their grievances and raise up placards with effective messages.
Those accused of grabbing the land allegedly invaded the varsity's property and brought down demarcations and notices. This move made USIU report to Kasarani police station.
"We partnered with Kasarani Police Station to increase the number of people who were guarding the land during the day and at night." the circular reads.
The institution also sought police intervention at Muthaiga police station, but this had not yielded fruit.
The VC also gave information on taking the matter to court through a lawyer.
The demos are to take place today morning at the USIU Graduation Square and head towards Muthaiga Police Station.

Victoria cleaning
When hiring an upholstery cleaning and rug cleaning expert in Victoria, not only do you have to find the companies which are fully licensed, bonded, and insured, as a home or a local business owner, you also want to know you are going to have a team of specialists doing the work. Due to the fact that rug cleaning is a complex task, namely when it comes to those pricey Persian rugs you own, taking the time to find a company which does have experience, knows how to handle the delicate materials, knows how to go about doing the work and taking care of the rugs, are a few of the things you need to consider in choosing an upholstery cleaning company in Victoria. In addition to this, there are always new removal methods in terms of deep set-in stains, dirt, and other items which may have made their way onto the rug or carpet. So, taking the time to find the local cleaning crew which is going to employ the use of the latest methods, the new techniques, and is using the latest industry equipment to do the job, are some of the many things you will have to consider in hiring a company. By taking the time to find out what type of experience a company has, how long they have been in the field of work, the type of cleaning they typically do, and finding out if they do specialize in the field of local home or commercial work, are a few of the many things you will want to do prior to hiring a company. So, taking the time to compare, use online reviews, referrals, and learning about the services offered by local upholstery cleaning in Victoria, will help you to find and eventually hire the best people for the job.
If you are comparing local companies, the use of online reviews, as well as quote gathering, can help you to choose the best. So, taking the time to have a few companies come to the home or office, to see the dirt and stains, and to give you a price quote for the work they are going to do, will help you in choosing a company to hire for services. Further, when you take the time to get a few quotes, you can learn about the methods, the service, as well as any of the guarantees a company will make when you choose to hire them for the job. As you are going to have more than one option when it comes to hiring cleaning experts, taking the time to compare a few and to learn about the experience and expertise, will help you to narrow down the field. In addition to this, it is going to give you a better idea of the work they do, methods used, and the guarantees they can make, for all of the cleaning work which is going to be performed for you as a local customer in need of such cleaning services.

Injured Finger at Work?
At first, you may think of an injured finger at work as a pretty minor and superficial ailment, but depending on the severity and longevity of the injury it can actually have a profound effect on the victim. For instance, if an injured finger at work occurred to the victims stronger hand and was serious enough to cause considerable pain whenever that hand was used, then an injured finger at work will mean that the person's physical capabilities will be significantly reduced until their injury has healed. This is particularly pertinent for a person who may be involved in manual work, as having the reduced use of one hand due to an injured finger at work will mean that they cannot work as efficiently and may even have to have time away from work entirely.
What if the Injury Was not your Fault?
If the injury in question was somebody else's fault then personal injury compensation could be available due to the difficulties that can arise from an injury as discussed above, not to mention the pain and mere fact of physical injury. The law states that if you are injured or fall ill and somebody else was to blame then you are entitled to seek this compensation due to the physical, emotional and financial implications of your injury. So, your injury occurred due to the actions of another party or to the negligence of your employer, then you may well be entitled to make such a compensation claim.
How Long do you Have to Claim?
For this injury you would have three years from the incident in question in which to begin claims proceedings, but if more time than this passes then you can no longer claim. This is the case as this type of claim fits within the majority of cases that are subject to this rule, but there are two kinds of claim which are exempt from the time limit. These are cases which relate to either an injury to a minor, or to an industrial disease such as Asbestos Poisoning.
Who Can Help you to Claim?
If you think you may have valid grounds for a claim, Accident Advice Helpline are the very best personal injury specialists to trust. They have over 13 years' worth of experience of handling all manner of claims and always make it their mission to get claimants all of the compensation that they deserve. This fact has also been recognised by consumer champion 0800 689 5659.
