LODZ, Poland — Two senior officials of Poland's Communist regime paid a surprise call Saturday on Pope John Paul II as he visited the country's most sacred shrine, arousing speculation that they brought a warning to tone down his bold encouragement of pro-Solidarity sentiments in the country.
Church sources also speculated that the two government officials might have been trying to arrange a final, unscheduled meeting between the Pope and Poland's leader, Gen. Wojciech Jaruzelski, before the pontiff departs today to return to Vatican City.
The Vatican spokesman was not immediately available to clarify the purpose of the reported meeting.
The Polish government spokesman, Jerzy Urban, confirmed that two government officials, Kazimiera Barcikowski and Stanislaw Ciosek, were in Czestochowa on Saturday morning, as was the Pope. Urban declined to say whether Barcikowski, a member of Poland's Politburo, and Ciosek, a close aide to Jaruzelski, met with the Pope.
"Contacts between representatives of the joint government episcopate commission are a normal thing," Urban said. "I have nothing more to add."

|Maria O. da Silva
|28 February 1880?
(age 129 years, 322 days)?
Itapetininga, São Paulo,
|Astorga, Paraná
|Claimed oldest living person
Maria Olívia da Silva (allegedly born 28 February 1880) of Brazil claims to be the world's oldest living person; her age claim has been published by RankBrasil.com, but has not been submitted for validation to Guinness World Records, a competitor.
da Silva was born in Itapetininga, São Paulo, and lives in Astorga, Paraná.[1] She is of Polish descent. She was married twice[1], the first time allegedly in 1893, and has outlived all but three of her 14 children.[1] Four of them were adopted. Da Silva lives with her 63-year-old adopted son, Aparecido H. Silva.[1]
She is still in good shape, loves to talk, and still has a sharp memory.[1] da Silva eats rice, beans, and bananas every day.[2] Reportedly, she walks every day to the city to prove she is still alive, and to get her pension. Some in Astorga have protested to the city administration, saying she is too old to be obliged to do this daily.
In March 2005 she was first claimed to be ten years older than any verifiably documented living person. At the time, the Guinness World Records website considered then 114-year-old Hendrikje van Andel-Schipper, born June 29, 1890, as the world's oldest person, and later retrospectively accepted the claims of María Capovilla, who was then aged 115.
RankBrasil has only produced documents dating from the 1970s or later, including the birth certificate on its website indicating she was born in 1880, and a Brazilian ID with the same birthdate.
The oldest living person verifiably documented by Guiness is the Japanese woman Kama Chinen, aged 114 years, 251 days.

IT managers hoping for the staffing situation to ease up next year are bound to be disappointed, as experts expect the talent wars to continue to rage in 2008. The trends that shaped IT's hiring landscape in 2007 — including low unemployment, a limited talent supply, increasing reliance on technology and demand for business acumen — will remain in play during the coming year. And that means rising salaries, increased benefits and a choice of employment opportunities for job hunters who have the right skill sets.
"It's a good time to be a technology professional," says Katherine Spencer Lee, Executive Director of Robert Half Technology, an IT staffing provider. "It boils down to simple supply and demand."
CIOs, on the other hand, will still be locked in a fierce struggle to recruit and retain the best and brightest IT workers in their quest to drive competitive advantage.
But this isn't a case of dotcom deja vu. IT leaders must now compete for talent in an uncertain business environment in which the housing slump and tightening credit are blunting US economic growth.
"If the economy does take a turn for the worse, a lot of companies' plans will be dead in the water and we'll be back in a scarcity model," says David Foote, CEO and chief research officer, Foote Partners LLC, an IT workforce research consultancy.
Of course, no one can predict the future. But to get a feel for how trends in IT staffing, recruiting and compensation are likely to shape up for the year ahead, we asked four specialists — Spencer Lee; Foote; Liz Brady, senior analyst of Forrester Research's Leadership Boards; and Jim Lanzalotto, vice president for Yoh, an IT talent and outsourcing services firm — to look into their crystal balls. Read their predictions regarding the state of IT staffing in 2008.
CIO.com: What is the IT hiring outlook for 2008?
Katherine Spencer Lee: Ongoing business expansion and increased reliance on technology are resulting in a strong demand for IT professionals with real-world experience. Areas where companies are having difficulty finding strong candidates include Web and application development, network administration, database management and systems administration.
Unemployment in technology has been at historically low levels for the past few years. Employers are responding to this shortage of talent by raising salaries and improving other benefits. The 2008 Robert Half Technology Salary Guide, for example, is projecting average salary increases of more than 5 percent for the 60+ IT positions we track. In-demand positions like network manager, data modeller and applications architect are projected to see salary gains of more than 7 percent higher than 2007.

It wasn't until I became a parent that I recognized my tendency to see the negative before the positive. Though my children all have strengths I can easily name, I find myself harping on the areas where they are weak. I know this approach isn't helping us build stronger relationships, and I don't feel good about it.
Psychologists and therapists agree that parenting that focuses on a child's weaknesses over his strengths is problematic. Dr. Fawn McNeil-Haber says:
Focusing on children's weaknesses decreases their motivation to do better. This is because, like many of us, when people point out what we aren't good at we either feel demoralized, defensive, or annoyed. None of these feelings help us motivate to do better and try harder.
Sara Anderson, an Atlanta-based psychotherapist, says how we approach our children affects their view of their potential: "If you focus on what is wrong, your child lives up to your vision of failure. If you focus on your child's strengths, your child lives what is possible."
The problem is focusing on the bad is what our brains do. We all have a negativity bias, and that's not always a bad thing. From an evolutionary perspective, the negativity bias has been hugely beneficial in keeping humans alive because they stayed aware of potential threats in their environments. Even now, it can be helpful.
Unfortunately, it's also the reason I am much more likely to notice my daughter's lack of organizational skills over her ability to approach her entire life with passion. Because I am focusing on the negative, she's learning to do the same, and her mind will fixate on the bad interactions we've had over the good ones because that's what our brains are wired to do.
Lea Waters, PhD, writer of "The Strength Switch: How the New Science of Strength-Based Parenting Can Help Your Child and Your Teen to Flourish" and a leader in positive psychology, offers a solution. Her strength-based parenting approach teaches us how to pull away from the negative when raising kids to offer the entire family a more positive experience in the home.
Parents focus on the kids' strengths, the kids know they have strengths, and the entire journey is smoother for everyone.
Sounds easy, but since we're built to focus on the negative, how do we shift towards pointing out the positive?
What is a strength?
Knowing what our children's strengths are is the first step. Most of us simply look at what our children are good at and assume it's a strength. We ask, where do they excel?
While that's one qualifier, it's not enough. If a child is great at playing the violin but hates it, Waters says violin playing isn't a strength. It's a skill.
Strengths are what we're good at, what we're motivated to do on our own, and what give us energy. Thinking about our kids, what do we never have to beg them to do? What gives them life? That's a strength.
My daughter is a strong leader and communicator, often verbalizing and storytelling even when her listeners are worn out. My son uses art as a way to communicate, and he has never once had to be told to sit down and create. He can't imagine not creating.
Though these strengths may seem specific to only certain areas of life, we can use them to guide our kids and to teach them to handle conflict in other areas. When my son is upset about something that he can't articulate, I can ask him to use his strength in art instead of demanding he verbalize. Verbalization under pressure is not his strength.
We can also evaluate for emotional strengths, like kindness, patience, or fairness. When our kids have a conflict, instead of always pointing out their weaknesses and making them feel like bad kids, we can point out strengths they aren't using.
When my daughter chooses to scream when upset, I can tell her, "You're not using your strengths in communication and kindness right now, and I think you can solve the conflict better if you do." I'm reminding her that she is capable of fixing this situation, and she's already equipped with the strengths to do it.
Too much, or too little, of a good thing
On The Psychology Podcast with Scott Barry Kaufman, Waters points out another reason to know a child's strengths and lead with them: they may be the cause of behavioral problems.
Overuse or underuse of a strength can lead to behavioral issues. My son, who is obsessed with accuracy in a way that only a seven-year-old can be, often gets in trouble because of his absolute desire for perfection. When his younger sister pronounces a word incorrectly, he will badger her until she is in tears under the guise of trying to help her speak properly. This is overusing a strength. In certain areas, when used in the right amount, this is a great strength, but it's being overused when it leads to a four-year-old screaming hysterically because she can't say the word "taquito."
Fortunately, I can use my son's other strengths to help him work through this problem. He also has strength when it comes to empathy, so I can encourage him to use that strength to imagine how his sister feels when he scolds her for doing her best. We're still focusing on his strengths, but we're deciding which strength to use to solve the problem overuse of a different one caused.
Kids who underuse a strength are also at risk for behavioral issues. All of us want to do something that makes us feel alive regularly. If children aren't able to do that, they are going to act out.
My daughter is strong in teamwork, and she also loves to communicate. She wants and needs to be around peers frequently to feel like she's thriving. I've never had to encourage her to play with someone at the park. She seeks out any and every person in her vicinity.
This explains why after a few days stuck in the house due to illness or friends having to cancel plans, she has problems. Finding a way for her to use this strength as soon as possible will alleviate the issue, and in the meantime I can ask her to exercise her strength in patience.
Where does this lead?
Many parents shy away from constantly pointing out their kids' strong points because it seems a little like a praise-for-no-reason thing to do. A friend who actually has an easy time focusing on her children's strengths worries that she may be raising future narcissists. Fortunately, Waters has words of encouragement. It's all about approach.
Strengths don't make kids special, and parents should point out that everyone has strengths. Since we all bring our unique strengths to the table, kids should be encouraged to look for strengths in others, something that will likely come easier for kids raised by parents who point out strengths in them.
Kids will also be able to use their strengths for the sake of others. When deciding on a life path, children who are parented using the strength-based model will know what their strong points are, and this will help them impact the world using the strengths they've been aware of for most of their lives.
Waters even believes that strength-based parenting encourages self-compassion in children, a much-coveted skill that is proving more important than self-esteem. Self-compassion allows children to mindfully be kind to themselves when they make a mistake instead of living in shame or guilt. If children know they have strengths, they can give themselves grace when areas they aren't strong in cause them problems. It keeps kids from believing that when they fail it's because they are irredeemably flawed humans who have nothing positive to bring to the table.
Using the strength-based parenting approach doesn't mean ignoring weaknesses. By virtue of identifying strengths, kids are going to realize they also have weaknesses, and that's okay. Shuntai Walker, MA, LPC says "…it is ok to be aware of weakness but the focus should be on cultivating their strengths."
We're not raising kids who think they are perfect. Strength-based parenting means raising kids who know what their strong points are and how to use them to help themselves and others. It's a form of positive parenting that helps us encourage our children while also creating positive interactions that strengthen our relationships with them.

I joined the Battlefield 1 open beta this past week for the same reason I tried Rocket League out last summer — by seeing a ton of cool clips on Reddit and wanting to see the game for myself. I wasn't expecting the same level of pure fun that came with Rocket League, but a free test drive for a triple-A shooter sounded good to me. The only Battlefield game I've played before this is Battlefield 4 back when the PS4 launched, which I found kind of fun but it didn't really grab me. Battlefield 1 left me feeling the same way.
The setting is definitely unique
Popular shooters over the last ~10 years have moved forward in time from WWII to modern times and beyond. This year's Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare involves space stations and exosuits. Call of Duty! In space! Battlefield 1 goes in the opposite direction and drops players into WW1. While you do have your typical assault, medic, and scout classes, the loadouts have been modified to fit with the times: assault rifles have physically large magazines hanging off the side, rifles are bolt action, you can charge enemies with a bayonet, and grenades are much larger and clunkier.
After about an hour of play, I can say that the game definitely feels different than many modern shooters. But, it wouldn't be a proper Battlefield game without…
Vehicles, vehicles everywhere
If my limited experience with Battlefield 4 taught me anything, it's that Dice likes to give people the keys to all manner of vehicle. Battlefield 1 is no different. There are tanks, of course, but they are slower, clunkier, and more of an ugly box than a streamlined death machine. Once in a tank, you can swap between the various gunner seats with a press of a button which is pretty helpful when you're the lone gunner and you are taking damage from multiple sides. You can also fly planes, but they are more of the Wright brothers / Snoopy and the Red Baron biplane variety than your typical fighter jet. Watching two planes in a dogfight with one either exploding in midair or crashing into a cliff face is pretty excellent.
Oh, that image of a horse up there? Yeah, you can ride a horse through the field of battle while you shoot or swing a goddamn sword at your enemies. Horses are really strong, too. I don't think I actually saw one go down in the couple of matches I played.
Maps are really big
The beta gave us one map, Sinai Desert, with two modes. Conquest is a 32 vs. 32 chaotic battle over six control points. With up to 64 people in a single game, it makes sense that the map is absolutely massive. One strange decision was the layout of the control points. Five of the points are laid out in an arc across the top of the map while the final point was all the way in the bottom middle of the map, almost like a baseball diamond with one point at home plate and five points along the outfield wall. This led to the singled-out point being held by the first team to take it for the majority of the game and most of the fighting taking place on 25-50% of the map.
Rush took place on the same map with one team on offense and the other on defense. If the offensive team takes the two control points in a small section of the map over from the defense, the map expands and the fight moves to a new section. Sticking with the unique setting of WW1, the defense can call in artillery strikes via telegraph. I like this moving arena idea a lot as it turns the giant map into a series of smaller, more focused fights.
Battlefield 1 sounds good, looks better, and lends itself to great highlights
It comes as no surprise that Battlefield 1, a triple-A shooter released three years into a console's life looks spectacular. Animations are very fluid and the particle effects of sandstorms and destructible environments are excellent. The game also doesn't lack in the audio department with deep explosions, the screaming of other soldiers, and bullets whizzing past you.
Battlefield 1 shares an important quality with Overwatch that I believe helped make that game the raging success that it is — it sets up great highlights and moments like the GIF above. Where else can you shoot a biplane down into an enemy tank, gut an enemy soldier with a bayonet after charging through gunfire, or slice a squad of soldiers apart from horseback? Only in Battlefield.
Battlefield 1 launches on October 21 and after playing the beta for about an hour, I can say that I won't be buying it. I've fallen out of love with military shooters like Call of Duty or Rainbow Six and Battlefield 1 didn't hook me back in. I'm not quite sure what it was, but the game seemed more like something I'd enjoy for a few hours and quickly get bored of. I'd consider buying Battlefield 1 if I had a group of friends who were going to play it, but playing enormous maps with 30 random players and praying that a portion of them have headsets isn't my cup of tea. I think I'll stick to Overwatch and Destiny for my multiplayer fix.
Did you play the Battlefield 1 beta? What did you think? Will you be buying the full game? Let me know in the comments below.

Every Alwact Clock skin consists in a set of image files, each representing a clock graphical component : face.png, hours.png, minutes.png, seconds.png, cover.png(in version 1.0, these files are named main.png, hour.png, min.png, sec.png and attach.png). The easiest way to create your own skin is to duplicate an existing skin and rework its files.
Create your skin
Open Alwact Skin Folder on your machine (right from the clock menu item 'Skin Folder...', or Start>Programs>Alwact Clock>Skin Folder). The folder contains a list of other folders, each representing a skin, and listed in Alwact clock contextual menu 'Skin'. Duplicate the folder of your choice, rename it as you wish. Choose the newly created skin in the Alwact Clock contextual menu 'Skin'.
You will need an image editing software that supports PNG file format(Transparent PNG support highly recommended) in order to edit the graphics files
-- I use the Gimp as the main image editor.
Every time you save your modification, the Alwact Clock widget will be updated immediately.

Can Microsoft's Tablets Cure the PC Industry?
H-P, Toshiba, Other Makers Must Battle Ghosts of Flops as They Enter New Market
Nearly a decade ago, Ted Clark, then a Compaq Computer executive, helped launch a portable tablet-style computer called the Concerto. But the Concerto, along with tablet computers from several other makers, was a flop.
"It was ahead of its time," says Mr. Clark, now a vice president who heads development of hand-held devices at Hewlett-Packard Co., which acquired Compaq earlier this year.

Figure drawing | process of paintings.
Graphite, coloured pencil and ballpoint on paper.
Graphite, coloured pencil and ballpoint on paper.
This month I gave a lecture at The Graphic Design Academy in Utrecht.
My old teacher invited me to join his figure drawing class in the evening.
Had a great time and it's very good practise.
Graphite and coloured pencil on hardwood panel.
Graphite, acrylics on hardwood panel.
Graphite, ballpoint ink, colourpencils on hardwood panel.
I'm working on several works on hardwood panel. 35 cm x 50 cm.
Because I'm always experimenting with different material on one background, it's fun but also quite challenging.

Hi there! Time for another sketch challenge at the Sweet Stop! Here is this week's sketch:
Pan Pastels and Inchies, but as I don't own any pastels or chalks, I have tried using Perfect Pearls with Perfect Pearls Medium. I love how these have turned out, so today, I tried that technique on my focal circle. I used a stencil by The Crafters Workshop for most of the swirls and butterfly images, then added a little stamping (little dots and music notes) from the mini background stamps in the Dienamics set called 'By the Numbers'. It is not possible to see in the photo, but there is a lovely shimmery look to this piece. I cut it out using Spellbinders Lacy Circles, and adhered it to the brown and cream spot dp from the Amy Tangerine pad: Ready Set Go. For embellishment, I stamped and heat embossed the 3 Butterflies from the SnS set New Beginnings with brown ink and clear embossing powder, and cut them out with the coordinating die. I coloured the parts not embossed with Distress stains in blue and adhered them around the top of the circle. The sentiment was stamped and embossed onto vellum, and adhered over a gold paper strip, and punched flowers were added.

Yesterday we decided to visit the new first choice college which meant a 3 hour drive down to Melbourne. On the way home, the car died in Jacksonville. And I really do mean it just died. One minute we were in the fast lane on I95 going well over the posted speed limit in the middle of rush hour traffic and the next minute Steve was saying "the car just died - I have no power - the engine shut off". Fortunately, we were going downhill and were able to coast over to the 'side' of the road. I say side because we were out of traffic but not off the highway. We ended up in a striped off area between the regular fast lanes and an on ramp but there were three more lanes of traffic to the right of the on ramp because this was an area where a couple of highways were merging. It was a scary place to be and we (Steve, both girls and both dogs) were completely stuck.

Tens of thousands protest against cuts in Madrid• http://news.yahoo.com/
MADRID (AFP) – Tens of thousands of protesters flooded the streets of Madrid Sunday blaming bankers and politicians for causing a financial crisis that forced the country to adopt painful spending cuts.
Demonstrators of all ages linked to a protest movement called the "indignants" assembled early Sunday in several neighbourhoods on the outskirts of Madrid.
They then formed six columns and converged on the city centre, gathering near Spain's parliament where they met various forms of police resistance, including 12 vans blocking several major roads.
Protests over the economic crisis and soaring unemployment began in Madrid on May 15 and fanned out nationwide as word spread by Twitter and Facebook among demonstrators.

Good morning, a brief update about The Lichfield Festival which I attended last weekend. We, hubby and I, had tickets for three events: Jacqueline Wilson, Kate Humble and P.D. James – each were inspiring in their own way.
Jacqueline Wilson's audience was filled, and I mean filled, with tiny young girls aged about eight. You could literally pick out the five adult males seated in the auditorium in a glance. Anyway, Jacqueline thrilled and delighted with a detailed account of her writing experience, answering numerous questions from the audience and delighting the adults with snippets from her life. I hadn't realised just how many books she'd written, approx 93, and certainly wasn't aware that she'd originally written for adults! Wow, what a successful transition. She explained how she promised her daughter never to use her as a character – a vow I've also adopted over the years. I'm sure there would be those that would be thrilled to be pen painted but the horrors if they didn't approve don't bare thinking about. I often pick habits, characteristics and sayings from those I know but never as the foundation for a character. Lordy, I'm not sure readers would 'believe' some of the characters I know. It was interesting to hear her refer to so many books over so many years – as an author you love your work but even now I have to check that I haven't reused characters names, occupations – I've only written two and planned another three.
Kate Humble's talk was focused upon her personal project turning a disused Welsh farm back into a working entity. I have to say, she came across as one of the nicest people in television; so relaxed, chatty and very funny. She started at the beginning explain how she got into telly, she herself admits it was a nice fluke, with delightful descriptions of 'telly women' dressed in Prada. I literally could have listened to her talk all evening about her travels to Afghanistan to film 'shepherdess' – along with the honour of being made an honorary daughter by the community. After a very quick hour, Kate signed books in the lobby and hubby, who is never shy at the best of times but always very funny, couldn't resist thanking her for attending his birthday bash! Bless her, her face was a picture but immediately she joined his little joke saying 'how could I refuse'. Lovely, lovely lady well worth seeing, only wished the session had been longer.
P.D. James – was the icing on the cake for me. At the ripe old age of 93 she entertained the audience with her lively wit and sharp mind. It was quite surreal to see a little white haired lady talking so passionately about murder! She surprised me with how sharp her memories were regards her plotlines and initial inspirations – when she's written so many books. P.D. James recalled and shared several inspirations from her own personal life that had provided settings and backdrops for her plots. Again, I could have listened to her talk all night, but sadly it ended after one short hour.
I came away from each session feeling inspired and motivated – a great way to boost the flagging soul when your own project is nearing the end - and, a snip at the ticket price!

LAUSANNE, Switzerland (AP) The IOC asked a British newspaper for copies of the emails quoted in a report linking the son of former IAAF president Lamine Diack to alleged ''parcels'' to be delivered to six IOC members.
The Guardian refused to turn over the material, the International Olympic Committee said Tuesday.
The newspaper reported Tuesday that it had seen leaked emails from Papa Masata Diack to a Qatari business executive in May 2008. The Qatari capital, Doha, was bidding for the 2016 Olympics at the time.
The Guardian said the email suggests that six people, referred to by their initials which correspond with six IOC members at the time, requested ''to have their parcels delivered through Special Adviser in Monaco.'' The paper said the ''special adviser'' was believed to be Lamine Diack, who was an IOC member at the time.
The Guardian said it wasn't known whether any ''parcels'' were sent. In any case, a month after the email was sent, Doha failed to make the list of finalists in the 2016 bidding.
''We have asked for any information that the Guardian may have so that we can send it to our independent ethics commission,'' the IOC said in an emailed statement to The Associated Press. ''This has been refused. Without any access to this material it is hard to make any further comment.''
Last week, Papa Masata Diack was banned for life by the IAAF ethics commission for corruption and cover-up allegations linked to Russian doping. Lamine Diack is under criminal investigation in France on corruption and money-laundering charges involving doping cover-ups.
Diack resigned as an honorary IOC member in November, a day after he was provisionally suspended by the IOC executive board.
Diack served as a full IOC member for 15 years until 2014. The Senegalese official stepped down in August as president of the IAAF after 16 years in charge.

Los Angeles City Hall
Today's Rally on the steps of City Hall drew a mixed crowd. The vast majority were there to show their support for the calls to investigate Jack Weiss, as reported below.
But there was another small group watching intently, Jack Weiss's campaign advisor, Ace Smith (blue shirt, hands in pockets), and two sharply dressed unidentified men, seen here engaged in obviously highly animated tones with reporters Sherri Okamoto and Greg Katz from the Metropolitan News, and the Daily Journal, respectively.
The old adage, 'a picture paints a thousand words' is perhaps most apt here. As Ace Smith stands head bowed, perhaps in despair as his carefully crafted campaign falls apart, the unidentified gentlemen holds his hands defensively as he tries to address accusations of Jack Weiss's corruption and incompetence.
From the expression on his face and his gestures, he may be failing to answer the reporter's questions convincingly.

Kelly's Gold Boxelder
December 1, 2009
Acer negundo 'Kelly's Gold'. This form of the Boxelder maple has striking yellow colored twigs and young branches especially noticeable in the winter months. The leaves are a yellow green in color and have three lobes. Overall, the Boxelder has been described as 'short-lived' and brittle. Certainly care should be taken in the placement of this tree. Creative pruning can keep the majority of the tree growing with vigorous young shoots which will have the brightest color. During our sometimes drab winter months, Kelly's Gold Boxelder brightens the spirit.

Colon cancer refers to a form of cancer that affects the main part of the large intestine, commonly called the colon. Sometimes, colon cancer is grouped together with cancer that affects the other part of the large intestine, the rectum, and referred to as colorectal cancer.
Colon cancer is a fairly common cancer. It affects both men and women, and the risk for developing colon cancer goes up in everyone after age 50. Other risk factors for developing colon cancer include a family history of cancer or colon cancer specifically, and a history of developing colorectal polyps, or growths. People with Crohn's disease or ulcerative colitis also have a higher colon cancer risk, as do those who smoke or eat diets high in fat and low in fiber, folate and calcium.
Screening and Prevention
The best way to detect colon cancer early and prevent the development of life-threatening cancer is to be screened for the disease. Screening is generally recommended for people 50 and older, though those at higher risk may need it earlier in life. Various tests can screen for colon cancer, including a fecal occult blood test and a digital rectal exam. However, colonoscopy and sigmoidoscopy are screening methods that can not only detect cancer at an early stage but also find and remove any precancerous polyps.
Symptoms of Colon Cancer
Colon cancer can be difficult to detect because the symptoms often overlap with other common medical conditions. When symptoms do occur, they're usually related to the digestive tract. Common symptoms include diarrhea, constipation, bloody stools, narrower stools than usual or the feeling that your bowels are not completely empty. Colon cancer can also show itself with such symptoms as nausea, vomiting, fatigue, unexplained weight loss or gas and painful cramps.
The primary method for treating colon cancer is surgery to remove the tumor. In some cases, this procedure can be done in a minimally invasive way with a long robotic arm that enters the body to remove the tumor. Other times, open surgery is required.
Often, additional treatments are needed to kill cancer cells at the site of the tumor or in surrounding tissues. These treatments may be in the form of radiation therapy, chemotherapy or biological therapy

One of the biggest elements missing from Edmonton's Power Play has been Offense from the blueline. It's not necessarily an inability to move the puck up the ice, but rather an inability to generate shots from the point.
It is frustrating to watch some of the team's "offensively minded" defensemen opt to pass instead of shoot to a fault. We joke often about Justin Schultz making his 1st slapshot of the season whenever he makes one, but the best humour is laced with truth. Those jokes ring true and unfortunately for young Jultz the stats back them up.
The kid doesn't shoot nearly enough.
This is a pretty big problem, as it turns out, because it's not as if the forwards are accepting all those sweet passes and turning them into shooting gold. Additionally, the Oilers have relied very heavily on Justin Schultz on the PP this year and the last. He is the QB of the first unit 5v4 Power Play for the team. It's a unit that also includes 2 former 1st Overall picks and an NHL All-Star in Jordan Eberle. That job should be nothing but sugar-time but they cant seem to get anything done and it is one of the (many) reasons why the Oilers have struggled.
In terms of generating chances they have improved as a team, but that hasn't translated into nearly enough actual offense. One possible reason is that the Oilers simply don't employ a shooting threat from the point when Justin Schultz is out there. The team effectively puts out 4 shooters and 1 guy to pass them the puck. Jultz' role at the top of the formation rarely involves more than moving the puck from left to right or vice-versa. When he does shoot, good things happen. Sadly, there has been no Pavlovian reaction to that stimuli and he continues to be a pass first player.
The fact is, that with two players who are likely better passers in RNH and Taylor Hall, the 1st unit doesn't actually need another passer back there. Justin Schultz' contribution to the dynamic of the Power Play is indeed very questionable from that perspective. He is not a shooter, there are better passers already out there, and he isn't the defensively responsible player on the unit either.
He still has passing ability, but perhaps his contributions would be greater to the overall success of the 2nd unit.
Is he really that bad, though, or am I maybe being too hard on Schultz? I've been accused of that before.
Well, Justin Schultz has played a lot of 5v4 minutes this year, 111 of them to be exact. There are only 34 defensemen in the NHL who have played at least 100 minutes 5v4 this season and Justin Schultz is dead last in Points/60. There has not been a less effective player getting that kind of ice time on the point this year in the entire NHL. He has only three points on the 5v4 so far despite all those minutes with the team's best players.
It isn't working.
Being "Pass-First" is really just a polite way of saying "Wouldn't shoot the puck if life depended on it" and Schultz is most definitely "Pass-First". Of those 34 PP Defensemen, Schultz is ranked 31st in Shots/60 with just 8.63 per 60 minutes. In total he has 16 shots on the 5v4 PP. Compare that total with league leaders from the Defense like Karlsson (51) or Ekman-Larsson (47) and it's a laughable total. Having 24 would at least put him in the middle of his peer group. Unfortunately, his per 60 number this year is actually an improvement over his shot rate last year (7.64/60).
One thing we can see is that with Schultz on the ice the Oilers are shooting just 5.94% on the PP. Again, out of the 34 Defenseman with his kind of usage that is dead last. Now that is low, unreasonably low in fact. We should see that number climb as things normalize over the course of the year, but even last year Schultz' on-ice Sh% was 29th of 36 Defensemen who played at least 200 minutes 5v4 at 10.93%. The percentage this year might be insanely low, but this is still two years running where Justin Schultz is clearly in the bottom 1/3 of his peer group.
The on-ice shooting percentage should in theory be important for a pass-first player like Schultz because presumably he is giving up the option to shoot himself so that others are in better positions to score. We can see that both this year and last the team is not exactly receiving the benefits from all those passes. The only thing that seems to be happening is that nobody is shooting from up high.
The power play is interesting because it can give players the opportunity to showcase their skills in more open space and with better control of the puck. That's why there are tweeners like Brad Hunt who can have a place on an NHL power play, even if it might only be for a short time. Having a huge shot, being unafraid to stand in front of the net, having great hands in tight — these are all traits players might possess all the time but only get to display with regularity on the PP.
It's important to note that these skills are indeed always present. They don't magically show up when the other team is down a man. It's just possible that due to other flaws in the player or circumstances of his usage that they simply aren't able to use them as much or as effectively as they could on the PP.
When the Oilers look for shooting options on the PP (since they don't have an obvious answer) they can opt for someone, a la Hunt, who can't really play against NHL competition but has a blast or they can opt for a player who might shoot more often but who isn't thought of as an offensive player.
Nikita Nikitin plays a significant number of minutes for them and indeed has a canon for a shot. His injuries have prevented him from playing and presumably from being more effective, but in the past he has posted very good shooting rates with the Columbus Blue Jackets. However, he has notably been on the decline and his ability to contribute is questionable.
The Oilers do have a player who is 15th in the NHL for Even Strength Shots by a defenseman with at least 500 minutes played (60 shots). In terms of Shots/60 he is 23rd in the NHL in that same group. His individual Fenwick is 10th in the NHL for Defensemen. Jeff Petry could be a potential solution on the PP.
While he isn't known for his booming shot, what he does well is direct shots on net and that's what the Oilers need. They have all the passing ability they could ask for on the 1st Unit as it is. They need someone who can get their shot away. We also know that Petry has good zone entry talent and can be a defensively responsible player too.
By now the club has to know where they stand in contract talks with Petry and if it's doubtful he signs then now would be a great time to give him a PP push to boost his value even further before the trade deadline.
What have they got to lose, really?

Turkey's big hype May 2, 2007Posted by mmonla in Politics.
Turkey's up in arms over the parliament's election of a member of the ruling AKP party, Abdallah Gul, as president. The AKP's Islamist roots seem to be worrying the radical secularists, all those headscarves and what not… In fact, the military, self-proclaimed defender of Kemalist principles, is threatening to forcibly oust Gul if he takes on the leadership.
This raises the issue of the apparent conflict between Islamic agendas and a secular democracy. But while it may look like Turkey is trying to decide for one or the other, what kind of secular democracy is it really when the ultimate reigns of power lie in the hands of its military? The truth is that the AKP was democratically elected and as shown in Erdogan's last few years in power, they've proven to be fairly moderate.
Matthew Yglesias goes to the point of comparing the AKP to the American Republican party. I think that's interesting, and it's true that the Republicans' constant use of Christian rhetoric to appeal to their voters does not make them any less democratic.
In a time of exportable democracies, it's a debate that's very relevant to the region and ultimately, whatever Turkey decides will influence the surrounding areas. Secularism and Islamism can both be taken to the level of uncompromising radicalism, so where do you draw the line? Personally, like one of Yglesias's commentators, I'm a bit torn here between the protesters, keen on safeguarding their secular Kemalist heritage, and a moderate democratically elected Islamist-based ruling party. New elections have been called out (the speed of which I find impressive, crowds seldom have this much influence elsewhere), now what happens if the AKP wins again?

It's now six weeks since I have made the big move to New Zealand from Ireland. Prior to coming I had been told that New Zealand was a great place to live with a friendly relaxed culture, beautiful landscapes and an outdoor, active lifestyle that I would fall in love with. My expectations were definitely high and I can honestly say that New Zealand hasn't disappointed me. On my flight over I met two kiwis who gave me some tips on how to settle in and taught me the lingo such as "yeah bro" and "sweet as". They gave me their phone number and even invited me to go on a fishing trip up in Northland. Since then I have had similar experiences in how welcoming this multi-cultural country has been.
What I wasn't told however was how bright the sun is here or how people don't drink cups of tea every hour. To me Auckland's winter is like Irelands summer. Walking and exploring Auckland did highlight some cultural differences such as passing a primary school yard and seeing the school kids playing rugby instead of football or hurling. No wonder you guys are so good at rugby and not so good at football :). With trips to Rotorua and Hobbiton I understood what people were talking about.
While the travel and lifestyle was a big factor in my move, I also came to further my career in Physiotherapy and Pilates. I had heard from a friend of mine Chris (from Next Gen) that I should check out Peak Pilates and Physiotherapy. I decided to contact Jason Richardson (Peak's director) through skype and before the conversation was ended I had mentally packed my bags. What I like about Peak Pilates and Physiotherapy is the ethos behind it led by people who practice what they preach and actively want to improve the health and well-being of their clients. I have worked in many public and private hospitals and clinics, army rehabilitation centres and with sports teams etc. but what I think sets Peak apart is the longer treatment times with more emphasis on exercise therapy through pilates.
Having taught matwork pilates in Ireland – I knew of the benefits and could easily see improvements in my clients in terms of better movement, posture, strength and lower levels of pain. However, studios were sometimes on the smaller side and lacked equipment which limited variability in exercise programmes. After visiting all of the Peak studios I can safely say space is not an issue with plenty room for reformers, trap tables, barrels and chairs. If you haven't used this equipment before – it can look like a bit intimidating. One recent client of mine described the trap tables appearance like a torture device with springs hanging everywhere. However, after one session they were soon converted and on the Pilates bandwagon.
Over the next few weeks I will be taking on more clients at Botany along with learning how to paddle board and how I can use this as a form of exercise therapy. Overall, this has been a great introduction and I'm looking forward to sharing more of my journey with anyone who's interested. Should you have any questions about how Physiotherapy and Pilates can benefit you, please give us a call.
Slán go fóill – Goodbye for now
