WASHINGTON (AP) — For many Republicans, this is a good weekend to get away from it all.
With hundreds of thousands of Democrats traveling to nation's capital for President Barack Obama's inauguration activities, Republicans and supporters of last fall's GOP presidential candidate, Mitt Romney, are leaving town, or staying put and trying to avoid the crowds.
After failing to recapture the White House for a second straight presidential election, many are not exactly in a partying mood.
"It's a good time to lay low," said John Feehery, the president of Quinn Gillespie Communications and a former top congressional aide.
As Democrats prepare to mark Obama's second inauguration on Monday by bundling up along the parade route or dressing up for balls, Republicans are spending the long Martin Luther King Jr. holiday weekend with quick vacation getaways, quiet time at home or trips to the movie theater.
Few plan any "mourning parties" or "bawls" that have been the staples of past inaugural festivities for the party out of power. But invitations to parties tend to be scarce if your candidate lost, and watching television provides a constant reminder of November's elections.
"Invitations must have gotten lost in the mail!" former Romney adviser Ed Gillespie wrote in an email saying he had no major plans for the weekend.
Charlie Spies, an attorney and co-founder of the pro-Romney super political action committee Restore Our Future, was in Las Vegas for the weekend, hosting about 100 Republicans, including some former Romney campaign aides, at events in the Wynn Las Vegas and Venetian Resort Hotel Casino.
Spies held a similar gathering for about 20 friends and associates four years ago but said he was surprised by the amount of interest this time.
"I was expecting more than 20 but no place near this response," he said. "But I think people were excited to have an opportunity to be someplace other than D.C. and let President Obama and his supporters have their day in the sun."
Ron Bonjean, a former Bush administration and congressional aide who runs a public affairs firm, convened a small work retreat at a resort in Mexico and said he planned to use the time to prepare for new challenges in 2013.
"It's the perfect time for us to be productive and focused on the year ahead while Washington is consumed with swearing in the president," he said.
Republicans will be part of the inauguration ceremony, with members of Congress gathered on the west front steps of the Capitol for Obama's swearing-in. Many Republican lawmakers are attending state balls during the weekend to welcome their constituents.
House Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio, House Majority Whip Kevin McCarthy, R-Calif., and House Armed Services Chairman Howard "Buck" McKeon, R-Calif., were among the GOP leaders who planned to attend an inauguration-related ball on Sunday night honoring members of the military.
After the parties end, the work to win back the White House begins. The Republican National Committee is holding its winter meeting in Charlotte, N.C., in the coming week. A major topic of discussion will be finding ways to reach out to minority voters and win elections.
Next weekend in Washington, a robust lineup of Republicans, including Rep. Paul Ryan of Wisconsin, Romney's running mate, and Govs. Bobby Jindal of Louisiana and Scott Walker of Wisconsin, will address conservatives at a conference organized by the National Review Institute.
For Republicans, this is a season of introspection and planning for the future.
"When you're winning, you're thinking about the possibilities. When you lose, you're thinking about what went wrong," Feehery said. "When you're winning, you're thinking about your next job. When you lose, you're thinking about keeping your job."

You're the backbone of our company – the support that keeps all P&G areas running smoothly each day. And on our administrative team, you'll find just as many possibilities across our business to grow your skills and expand your opportunities. You're equal parts business-minded and technical-savvy, with a serious side of competitive drive and strong communication skills. Find your fit with an available administration position in all organizational teams of our company.
Administrative Roles
There are full time Administrative roles across all P&G functions. Below you will find descriptions for a few administrative roles at P&G- this list is not exhaustive but meant to give you a good idea of the work administrative employees at P&G are responsible for.
Marketing Specialist
You will manage internal websites, coordinate workshops, panels and events, negotiate with vendors, and work with external agencies to propose budgets. You will also own non – initiative projects, while managing promotion execution and our coupon process development. As a marketing specialist, you could take part in developing and sustaining a current, or one of our next, billion – dollar brands.
Consumer & Business Development/Sales Business Unit
You'll serve as a primary point of contact internally and externally regarding merchandising, pricing and new items. Specific work includes regular customer contact to complete necessary analysis, and administration for all merchandising, pricing and new – item distribution. Other duties include coordinating weekly meetings, writing SSO's and SKU fund rate management.
Supply Network Operations (SNO)/Logistics
Impact our business from start to finish. As an SNO/logistics coordinator, you will support external trade customers as well as internal sales personnel through order processing, shipping, invoicing, financial reconciliation, and data analysis. You'll also provide excellent customer service as you correspond with customers and manage replenishment to support target customer inventory/in – stock service levels.
Legal and Intellectual Property Administrator/Secretary
Interfacing with large/diverse client groups, general counsel, and upper management, you'll handle confidential information daily while you help coordinate litigation and responses to foreign patent prosecution.

You'll identify cost risks and opportunities by reconciling and analyzing actuals versus forecast while also ledgering important business transitions and work processes.

Shawn Johnson is playing some serious defense in the wake of an obsessed and armed fan's arrest outside "Dancing With the Stars."
TMZ has learned the 17-year-old has a new personal bodyguard, who's already been spotted shadowing her around town. Sources tell us Shawn's protector is an off-duty police officer.
Robert O'Ryan was arrested after trying to get into Monday night's taping of the show. Police say they found a loaded handgun and a loaded shotgun in his car. O'Ryan remains in custody, held on $35,000 bail.
We're told Shawn, her "Dancing" partner Mark Ballas, and the rest of the cast were informed about O'Ryan after Monday's show.

Giant's off-road lineup for 2009
In addition to Giant's revamped 2009 road range, the company has redesigned several key off-road models. A highlight of the range is the new Anthem X which is based on the Anthem cross-country racer but toned down a bit to make it more palatable for general consumption.
Rear wheel travel has grown to a full four inches, the head tube angle has slackened to 71 degrees for more stable handling and the Anthem X is reputed to be five percent stiffer overall than the standard Anthem.
Yet weight has actually gone down 185g, due at least partially to the new forged two-piece rocker link and revised Maestro suspension layout, whereby the lower rocker and lower shock pivot on the same axle.
For now, Giant will only offer an aluminum Anthem X, though based on prior history we would expect a carbon Advanced version to join the lineup for 2010. The current Anthem and Anthem Advanced will carry over for 2009.
Racers will also have a new carbon hardtail option in the 2009 Giant XTC Advanced SL which has already seen battle under team riders such as Kelli Emmett. Light weight and stiffness were the clear goals here with the huge rectangular-profile down tube, oversized top tube, heavily reinforced bottom bracket area and tall chain stays, all crafted from raw T-800 carbon fibres.
Claimed weight for the top-end XTC Advanced SL frame is just 1kg in a medium size while a more economical XTC Advanced model will add another 100g.
Updates to the successful Reign 6in-travel all-mountain platform are more subtle. Head tubes have been slackened from 69 to 68 degrees to better suit the intended heavy-duty trail use and all models will upsize to 15mm through-axle front hubs for improved steering precision and security.
Fulcrum delves further off the beaten path
Fulcrum will bolster its off-road wheelset range with four new models for 2009. The new Red Carbon is intended for cross-country and all-mountain applications. Asymmetric carbon fibre rims bring the weight down to a claimed 1470g per pair while reducing rotational inertia by 15 percent over the current Red Metal Zero. The carbon rim's stiffer and stronger construction relative to the Red Metal Zero also allows Fulcrum to reduce the spoke count by four per wheel.
The 29in wheel movement has apparently finally begun hitting
Fulcrum will add its first freeride wheelset to its range with the new Red Fire. The tubeless-compatible aluminum rims measure a healthy 29mm in width and 25mm in height yet total wheelset weight is still a competitive 2200g, thanks in part to the machined inner rim walls. Stainless steel spokes join the rims to beefy sealed bearing hubs with the rear offering 12x150mm through-axle compatibility and the front with a standard 20mm through-axle fitment.
Cross-country and all-mountain riders looking for a little extra stiffness up front can take solace in knowing that Fulcrum will offer its Red Metal Zero, Red Metal 1 and Red Metal 3 with a 15mm through-axle front hub for use with the latest crop of forks from Fox Racing Shox and Marzocchi.
Avid updates its long-running Shorty cantilevers
Avid's ubiquitous Shorty cantilever rim brake gets a long-awaited remake for 2009. Published weight is now down to 157g per wheel (without pads) and a stiffer new skeletal arm shape promises better braking performance while allowing easier access to pad hardware. Central to the improvements is a claimed reduction in vibration which should cut down on howling and chatter, an issue that occasionally plagued the original Shorty.
Also in the pipeline is a new Shorty Ultimate brake. In keeping with the current Single Digit Ultimate stoppers, these use cartridge bearing pivots for slop-free movement and full CNC-machined construction. Unique to the Shorty Ultimate, though, is a novel switchable configuration that allows for both high and low-profiles in a single brake. There's no word on claimed weights or costs yet and Avid has not said whether these will actually make it to market.
New aero offerings from Syntace
Syntace's new Stratos CX carbon base bar features slippery aero profiles (just 15mm yet 54mm deep) and sizeable outer pods that provide plenty of room for bigger hands. The oversized 31.8mm centre section is reinforced with titanium mesh to prevent damage from stem clamps and provide a secure purchase for aero extensions. Claimed weight is just 195g.
Speaking of which, Syntace equips its new C3 clip-ons with its unique Double Helix bend which it feels is more comfortable and provides better leverage than currently fashionable straight or S-bend extensions. Though there isn't a lick of carbon to be found, the C3 is still reasonably light at 366g.
As is usually the case with Syntace, both the C3 and Stratos CX are offered in a wide range of sizes. The Stratos CX will come in 390, 410, or 430mm widths (outside-to-outside), all with 20mm of drop, while the C3 will be available in three lengths with adjustable widths throughout.
Syntace will also bring its superb P6 seatpost design down in price via an aluminum mast. Just like its carbon masted brother, the new P6 Alu includes a 53mm-long lower cradle for plenty of rail support, a shorter 30mm upper cradle for a wider range of fore-aft adjustment and angled bolts that are easily accessible and anchored with spherical nuts for perfect alignment.
The P6 Alu will come in 27.2, 30.9 and 31.6mm diameters and up to 400mm in length. Claimed weight for a 31.6 x 400mm sample is 256g.
Blackburn wants everyone to get Fleas
One of LED lighting technology's greatest draws is its compact size and few companies have capitalized on this better than
Even more ingenious is the Flea's charging system. The tiny charger measures barely 2cm and weighs just 5g and can draw its source power from any 1.5V battery. Tiny magnets connect everything together, the LED emitters flash dimly to indicate an active charge and built-in circuitry shuts everything off when the built-in battery is full.
In contrast, the new AirStik 2Stage isn't particular small or light at 23cm long and 175g but
Acros moves on to US shores
Germany-based component manufacturer Acros isn't a household name in the
Acros produces headsets, bottom brackets, hubs, stems, seatposts, handlebars and even suspension forks and tools. Most of the rotating products are also offered with hybrid or even full ceramic bearings as standard. Rear disc-compatible mountain bike hubs reportedly weigh as little as 242g while the top road rear hub tips the scales at just 183g.
One of Acros' most appealing attributes is the rainbow of anodized colors available for nearly the entire range. Hues include the usual black, silver and grey but also red, orange, blue and yes, even purple. Limited edition colors are also available through the Acros 'Candy Shop'.
3T offers a solution to slipping seatposts
3T claims its new Palladio seatpost is the ultimate solution for riders who have troubles with unwanted saddle movement. The unusual DiffLock head uses two separate saddle rail cradles mounted on to the ends of a splined central tube (picture the end of a Shimano Hollowtech II crankset spindle) which then matches up with a separate set of splines in the top of the seatpost mast.
If it sounds complicated, that's because it is. The Palladio provides tilt adjustments down to half-degree increments but making those changes is fairly convoluted and requires a near-complete disassembly of the head.
The unique arrangement makes it seemingly impossible for the saddle to move unless you want it to, even if the bolts loosen. This alone may be enough for some riders to justify the inconvenience, particularly given that most riders will only set the position once.
New Roks and packaging from Clif Bar
Clif Bar's Clif Shot Bloks offer a tasty alternative to the usual array of bars and gels but their packaging hasn't always been conducive to eating on the go. New for 2009 is a far handier 'fast pack' that conveniently lines up each package's six Bloks so you can easily pop them out with one hand. The new packaging is a small change but one that will likely be far better appreciated on the bike than on paper. Also new is a Mountain Berry flavor which will hit shelves in November.
Clif Bar also introduced a new line called Clif Shot Roks. Intended more as a 'customizable protein concept' than on-the-bike energy food, each Rok contains 2g of whey protein and the chewy interior is housed in a hard protective shell that Clif says will withstand 200°F temperatures before melting.
Clif Shot Roks will arrive in stores in January and though they're not quite as tasty as the chocolate-covered Whoppers they resemble, we found the Peanut Butter Chocolate and Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough flavours agreeable enough that they substituted for a proper lunch on more than one day while wandering the aisles at this year's Interbike show.

Corporate Governance
The British Library Board
Operation and Membership
The British Library Act 1972 places the British Library under the control and management of the British Library Board, the duty of which is to manage the Library as a national centre for reference, study and bibliographical and other information services, in relation both to scientific and technological matters and to the humanities. The Act also requires the Board to make the Library's services available to the public in particular to institutions of education and learning, other libraries and industry.
The Chairman and members of the Board are all appointed by the Secretary of State for Culture, Olympics, Media and Sport, with the exception of one member who is appointed by HM The Queen. One member of the Board is appointed after consultation with Scottish Ministers. All Ministerial appointments to the British Library Board are subject to the Code of Practice of the Commissioner for Public Appointments. Members are normally appointed for four-year terms, and appointments are restricted to two terms. Members conform to a Code of Practice for Members of the British Library Board derived from the Cabinet Office model Code. The Board Secretary ensures that new Board members receive appropriate induction training upon appointment. New members attend the National School of Government's Training for Board Members of Non-Departmental Public Bodies and also an induction programme covering all aspects of the Library's operations. Board members also receive regular updates on changes and developments in the Library and its operating environment.
There is a clear division of responsibility between the Chairman and the Chief Executive. The Chairman is responsible for the leadership of the Board, ensuring its effectiveness on all aspects of its role. She facilitates both the contribution of the Board members and also constructive relations between the Board and the Executive. She represents the Library to its external stakeholders at the highest levels.
The Chief Executive has responsibility for the overall organisation, management, and staffing of the Library, for the formulation of strategy, and for the successful delivery of results. As Accounting Officer she is responsible for its procedures and controls in financial and other matters.
Members of the Board have corporate responsibility for ensuring that the British Library complies with any statutory or administrative requirements for the use of public funds and ensuring that high standards of corporate governance are observed at all times. The Board establishes the overall strategic direction of the organisation. It approves the Library's Annual Corporate Business Plan and its Annual Budget. It also oversees the delivery of planned results by monitoring performance against agreed strategic objectives and targets.
The Board meets six times a year, and one of these meetings each year is substantially devoted to the development of strategy. Library Directors are normally present during Board meetings. Board members are provided with appropriate and timely information to enable them to discharge their duties effectively. Board papers are distributed one week in advance of the relevant meeting to allow members fully to prepare for meetings.
The Board has delegated certain responsibilities to a number of committees. The standing committees of the Board are: the Board Audit Committee; the Remuneration Committee, the Construction Projects Committee, and the Board Investment Committee. The minutes of the meetings of the Board Audit Committee, the Construction Projects Committee, and the Board Investment Committee are made available to all the Members of the Board on a timely basis. The terms of reference for the Board Committees are available on our website.
A Register of Interests of Members of the Board is maintained and is reviewed twice-yearly by the Board Audit Committee. As part of the agenda for all Board and committee meetings, members are invited to declare any relevant interests or conflicts pertinent to the issues to be discussed in the meeting. On specific issues where there may be a potential conflict of interest, Members are required to declare their interest and withdraw from the meeting. The register is on our website.

Dec 20, 2011 (CIDRAP News) – Public health programs that detect and respond to bioterror events and disease outbreaks are at risk from federal and state budget cuts, a threat that could worsen over the next year if automatic across-the-board cuts kick in, according to an annual preparedness report card released today.
The big-picture preparedness view and warning come from Trust for America's Health (TFAH), a nonprofit health advocacy group, and the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation.
The report, Ready or Not? Protecting the Public from Diseases, Disasters, and Bioterrorism, is the group's ninth annual assessment. Last year, the report gave states their highest-ever marks for emergency preparedness. This year the report looks at preparedness funding in different states and goes a step further by naming programs in cities and states that are at risk due to continued federal funding cuts.
Over the years, TFAH has said the nation has made significant preparedness strides since the terrorist attacks of 2001 and pointed out remaining gaps in the public health system. However, at a press telebriefing today to release to report, Jeffrey Levi, PhD, executive director of TFAH, said recent federal and state budget cuts are chipping away at the gains.
Over the past year, 40 states and Washington, D.C., have experienced cuts in state public health funds, according to the report. Of that group, 29 states and Washington, D.C., sustained cuts 2 years in a row, and 15 are in their third year of state cutbacks. "The great recession is taking its toll on response to public health threats," he said.
At the same time, federal support for state and local preparedness activities has declined 38% from fiscal year 2005 through 2012, after adjusting for inflation, according to TFAH.
Continued federal public health emergency preparedness cuts put a host of key programs at risk, according to TFAH. For example, 51 of 72 cities could be eliminated from the Cities Readiness Initiative, a program designed to speed the distribution and administration of vaccines and medications during emergencies.
In addition, cuts could wipe out funding that enables top-level chemical testing at 10 state labs, leaving the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) as the only public health lab with full ability to test in the event of chemical attacks or accidents.
Twenty-four states could lose the support of CDC epidemiology field officers who respond to outbreaks such as the 2009 H1N1 pandemic, according to the report.
Mel Kohn, MD, MPH, state health officer and public health director of the Oregon Health Authority, told reporters that Americans expect a high level of preparedness and response capacity. "It's not an optional service," he told reporters.
For example, federal and state funds support the salaries of epidemiologists and lab specialists who responded quickly to an Escherichia coli outbreak linked to fresh strawberries, and strong state lab capacity meant that Oregon didn't need to rely on sending flu virus samples to the CDC during the pandemic, which helped the state get timely information to its physicians during a public health emergency.
TFAH's report contained several recommendations, which include:
- Ensuring dedicated funds for the core capabilities of public health preparedness
- Improving biosurveillance to rapidly detect attacks and outbreaks
- Enhancing research, development, and production of medical countermeasures
- Boosting mass care capabilities during public health emergencies
- Increasing support to communities recovering from disasters
- Coordinating food safety with other preparedness efforts through targeted implementation of the FDA Food Safety Modernization Act of 2011
Congress is currently considering reauthorizing the Pandemic and All-Hazards Preparedness Act of 2006, which Levi said would address many of TFAH's preparedness concerns. However, he said spending caps at fiscal year 2011 levels cut into the base of preparedness support, and the federal government won't be able to address TFAH's recommendations and goals without restoring the cuts.
Another looming threat is additional shortages expected from automatic cuts (sequestration) that kick in as part of the federal Budget Control Act, the results of Congressional negotiation over raising the nation's debt ceiling.
A bipartisan "super committee" of 12 lawmakers was appointed to find $1.2 trillion in debt reductions over the next 10 years, a measure that would have avoided the automatic cuts. However, in November the committee ended its deliberations, saying it couldn't meet its December deadline to have a recommendation to Congress.
Levi said if the full cuts take effect, sequestration could cut preparedness funding by as much as 10%.
The National Association of County and City Health Officials (NACCHO) today in a statement commended TFAH and the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation for drawing attention to the shrinking preparedness resources. Dr Robert Pestronk, NACCHO's executive director, said in the statement that recent threats such as a novel flu strain, natural disasters, and the global economic crisis affect all sectors of American society.
"Local health departments are part of a safety net for all people in their communities, but with a workforce already stretched thin, it's only a matter of time before the net lets the unsuspecting through," he said, adding that health departments are now "doing less with less."

As a therapeutic sequence, it will work best if you do the stretches once a day. You may get better results if you do it twice: morning and night, but don't overdo it. Also, if another activity that you are doing - for instance, yoga - is causing your sciatica, this may not be enough to relieve your symptoms. You may have to ease off your other activity for a while if you want to feel results.
Sciatica is a broad term used for pain relating to an inflammation or pinching of the sciatic nerve. The pain is usually felt in the lower back around the sacrum area, in the hips, or along the backs of the thighs. Sciatica is complicated by the fact that the sciatic nerve attaches at several points along the lower spine, and then runs all the way down your leg (it's the largest nerve bundle in the body after the spinal cord!), so the inflammation could be caused at any point along the nerve, and not necessarily where the pain is felt.
Sciatica can often be caused by repetitive motions or postures, such as pushing the gas pedal while driving or sitting cross-legged for extended periods. In yoga, sciatica is often associated with forward bending.
While by no means a miracle cure, this sequence targets the SI joint and the piriformis muscle, two areas of the body where sciatic irritation often occurs. The entire sequence could take 15-20 minutes, depending on how quickly you move. If you have time you will get the best results by focusing on slowing down your breath and trying to make your exhalations about twice as long as your inhalations.
NB: One of the WORST things you can do if you have sciatica is to overstretch the already irritated areas. Although you might think that stretching it more will make the pain go away, this is actually likely to inflame the nerve even more and make your symptoms worse. So instead, use gentle movements and deep breathing to bring your body to a state of relaxation and allow it to heal.
Sciatica Sequence
1. Apanasana: Warms up the lower back while keeping the SI joint stable. Begin lying on your back with your knees to your chest. Place your hands on top of your knees. As you inhale, push the knees away from your body. As you exhale, hug the knees to the chest. Repeat 4-6 times.
2. Hip circles: Warms up the hips while keeping the SI joint stable. After your next exhalation, as you inhale let the knees come out wide and begin a circular motion - circling the knees out and up to centre as you inhale, drawing them to the chest as you exhale. Do 4-6 circles in each direction.
3. Supta eka padangustasana: Warms up the hamstrings. Release your left knee and let the foot touch the floor, keeping the left knee bent. Clasp your hands behind the right knee - use a hand towel if you can't comfortably reach. Inhale, stretch the right leg straight up (keeping the foot active, with the toes flexed back towards you!), exhale, bend the knee and bring it down. Repeat 6-10 times, then switch sides. Optionally, proceed to Step 4 on the first side before switching. Hug your knees to your chest when done.
4. Upside-down pigeon: Stretches the gluts and opens the hip joint. Place the left foot on the floor about a foot away from your body. Bring your right leg towards your chest and gently cross the right ankle over the left knee. Keep both feet lightly flexed. Now, gently walk the left foot closer towards your body until you can reach through to grasp the back of the left thigh or the front of the shin. Use your hands (or a strap) to gently pull yourself deeper into the stretch.
You should feel a fairly strong stretch in your right glut (that's your butt, folks) and your right hip. If you feel any pain or twinging in your right knee, ease off immediately!
Hold for about 1 minute, then do the other side. When you're done hug both knees to your chest.
5. Supine Crescent pose: Gives a lateral stretch to the spine and the glut medius. Lie flat on the floor with your feet together and your arms stretched all the way out behind you. Move your right foot out to one side. Then bring the left foot to meet the right foot. Now move your right arm out to one side, and bring the left hand towards the right, so you are lying in a crescent moon shape. Breathe here for 30 seconds to 1 minute, then repeat on the other side. Hug both knees to your chest when done.
6. Jathara Parvritti: Stretches and releases the piriformis. Move both hips a few inches to the right side. Extend the left leg straight out on the floor. Place the right foot on the floor about level with your left knee, and let your arms stretch out to either side. As you exhale, let the right knee fall towards the left side (but keep your right shoulder on the ground). As you inhale, slowly lift the right knee up about 2 inches and hold it there. As you exhale, release it back down. Repeat 4 times and then stay in the "exhale" position for about 30 seconds - then continue on to Step 7.
7. Jathara Parvritti II: Stretches the piriformis and the glut max. This is a big stretch, so be gentle and skip it if it's too much! From position 6, as you inhale, straighten the right leg. As you exhale, bend the right knee again. Repeat 4 times and then stay about 30 seconds with the leg outstretched. Use a book or a chair to support the foot so that your right shoulder stays on the ground! Now, as you inhale, lift the straight right leg about 2 inches and hold it there. As you exhale, bring it back down. Repeat 4 times and then stay in the "exhale" position for 30 seconds - 1 minute before slowly coming out.
Repeat 6 and 7 on the left hand side. When done both sides, hug both knees to your chest.
8. Bridge pose: Stretches the psoas muscle. Place both feet on the ground, about sitting-bone distance apart so that your thighs and feet are in line with one another. As you inhale, lift your tailbone and slowly peel your spine away from the floor, coming into bridge pose. As you exhale, release your spine with control, vertebrae by vertebrae. This should be done gently with an emphasis on keeping the length of the spine - don't go very high if you experience any pain. Repeat 4-6 times. When you are done, hug your knees to your chest for a few breaths.
The 2nd time, bring the feet about 2 feet (60cm) apart (position B). The 3rd time, bring the feet about 3 feet (1metre) apart (position C). Then work your way back to position A.
10. One-legged Cobra: Strengthens the lower back muscles and works the SI joint asymetrically. From Position A, above, on an inhalation lift your chest off the floor and bend the right knee. Exhale back down. Inhale, lift the chest and left knee. Repeat twice on each side. NB - the "exhale" photo shows you coming back to position A with the chest lifted - but actually you should come all the way down until your forehead touches the ground!
11. Full cobra Pose: Strengthens the lower back muscles and works the SI joint symetrically. From Position A, inhale and lift the chest and both knees. Exhale back down. Repeat this four times. NB - the "exhale" photo shows you coming back to position A with the chest lifted - but actually you should come all the way down until your forehead touches the ground!
When you are done, if your lower back is feeling a bit worked, rest a few breaths in child's pose (see step 13). If this is too intense on your lower back, skip straight to the next pose, or alternate between 11 and 12 each time you do the sequence.
12. Locust pose variation: Works the spinal extensors, the piriformis, and the gluteus maximus. Come to Position A of step 9, above, but this time also lift both feet off the floor. The focus here is not on height, but on lengthening the legs behind you. From here, turn the toes of both feet outwards, and bring the legs wide apart. Then, turn the toes inwards and bring the feet back together until the toes are touching. Come down and rest, then repeat this four times. NB - if you are like me and have a sensitive pelvic bone, put a folded up towel/blanket or a pillow underneath your pelvis when you do this pose.
13. Child's pose: Counter-pose to backbending. Come to your hands and knees, and then drop the buttocks back towards the heels. Bring your hands back towards your feet and rest your forehead on the floor (or a book/block/blanket). Stay for at least 30 seconds.
14. Savasana: Allows your body to absorb the benefits of the practice! Lie flat on your back in final resting pose, placing a rolled up towel / blanket / yoga mat underneath the knees. You can also place your lower legs on a chair seat! This releases the lower back and the backs of the legs. Stay here for a minimum of 3 minutes, breathing naturally and letting go of all tension in your body. If you enjoy visualisations try the following: as you inhale, visualise a wave of warm, pure, healing water entering your body from the top of your head and moving towards your lower back and legs. As you exhale, visualise the wave leaving your body, taking with it all tension and stress.

Learning Index >> Calligraphy: an education in letter form
Calligraphy or fine writing, is an excellent basis for training in any letter design discipline. Historically it established a rationale for letterform in type design and it can provide a starting point for designing letter shapes in almost any material ie. stone, glass, ceramic or digital media. In its own right calligraphy is used in the creation of a wide range of unique handmade artifacts that range from the great documents of state to intimate and personal gifts. It is as a unique and expressive gestural art that calligraphy is most prized.

Here is a book that is both clarion call for a new Jewish agenda and a blueprint for an adventurous but genuine path toward spiritual growth and religious wisdom. Rabbi Niles Elliot Goldstein, founder and Rabbi Emeritus of The New Shul in New York City, says that most conventional Jewish institutions are out-of-touch and have relied too much on nostalgia, guilt, and fear—none of which resonate with modern Jews. He challenges Jews to adopt the "gonzo" spirit—the rebellious, risk-taking attitude associated with the gonzo journalist Hunter S. Thompson—and to take creative, innovative steps to reshape and revitalize contemporary Judaism.
Goldstein urges readers to take a fresh look at Judaism, to become educated about its history and tradition, to discover what is authentic, yet what also feels spiritually relevant and meaningful, and to create a Jewish culture and community rooted in affirmation, joy, and celebration. He provides a wealth of information on numerous organizations, institutions, synagogues, grassroots groups, and networks that can help get you started on the gonzo path.
To learn more about the author, visit his website at www.nilesgoldstein.com.News & Reviews
"With this edgy, funny, wise book, Goldstein may just have found a way to ensure the survival of the religion for another 6,000 years." —Publishers Weekly
"Goldstein backs up the title [Gonzo Judaism] with a legitimately creative and irreverent idea about how to engage with Judaism anew: Look to the old. . . . This is clearly one promising rabbi: he has equal knowledge of (and appreciation for) both ancient tradition and contemporary life." —The Washington Post Book World
"Rabbi Goldstein has written a 'Fear and Loathing on the Torah Trail' that's kick-ass but also wise and full of good ideas for what ails American Judaism. He shows that the greatest reverence can come from irreverence." —NewsweekReader Reviews

The careers of Ivan Koloff and Bruno Sammartino are very much intertwined. Bruno was Koloff's idol, and he faced off against him in Pittsburgh in his first match away from southern Ontario. In 1971, Koloff was chosen to dethrone Sammartino after a seven-year run as WWWF champion. They'd battle countless times through the years. And now they both have autobiographies out.
Just as Sammartino started his career years before Koloff, so too did Bruno's autobiography come out years before Koloff's.
Bruno Sammartino: An Autobiography of Wrestling's Living Legend came out in 1990 (Imagine Inc.), written by Sammartino, with Bob Michelucci and Paul McCollough. It's a tough book to find, available really only through used bookstores. (This writer found a copy through ABEbooks.com and its search mechanism for just under $40 Cdn.)
"Is That Wrestling Fake?" The Bear Facts has just been put out by co-writer / publisher Scott Teal under his Crowbar Press imprint. It's not available in bookstores either; instead, one has to head to Teal's website or Koloff's to order.
Despite the 16 years between the publication of both books, there are a lot of similarities.
For one, neither legend is out to slag people. "I prefer to tell the negative stories about myself, instead of knocking everybody else," writes Koloff. "If you anticipate reading gossip stories about other wrestlers, then you will be disappointed."
Bruno also takes the high road, but then that's a lot easier when you pretty well stay within kayfabe throughout. The titles of the books could easily be switched, as Bruno goes to great ends to defend his profession, including a couple of memorable rants against the news media. "One issue that really bothered me throughout my career was what newspaper writers would say about wrestling," Sammartino writes. "The ink never varied, be it in Pittsburgh, New York, Boston or San Francisco. The sports scribes would tell their readers that all wrestling matches are rehearsed. They'd write that wrestlers spend the time before their bouts in the dressing rooms, practicing what moves they're going to use on each other."
Besides the rants, the two-time WWWF champ tells a good yarn, particularly about growing up in Italy and surviving the Second World War, holed away in the mountains. He shares good road stories, and offers a little insight into his own life. Surprises abound, like his love for opera.
Koloff's tales of his colleagues are a little more colorful, with adventures in the ring and away from it the focus. With Ernie Ladd, he tells of a riot in Montreal; with Bob Backlund, he raves about his strength through examples. Close friends like Dale Hey (aka Buddy Roberts) and Nikita Koloff get in-depth treatment and really allow a good look into their personalities.
The keeping within kayfabe is at once both quaint and annoying in Sammartino's book. Take the actual WWWF title change on January 18, 1971, where Koloff beat him:
I remember I was coming off the ropes and I positioned myself for his counter-move, but Koloff fooled me. He caught me with a knee that cut me on the side of my head. I was dazed badly by the blow.
Koloff rushed at me, scooped me up and gave me a powerful body slam, then punctuated that with a knee drop across my throat. As I struggled to move, Koloff scrambled up onto the top rope and hurled himself down into me, driving another knee across my chest.
As quick as a flash of dynamite, he covered me. As I tried desperately to get up, the referee slammed his palm into the canvas three times. I was counted out. Koloff was the victor and the new world's heavyweight champion of professional wrestling. He had beaten me for the first time ... and that was all it took.
Fortunately, Koloff is there to fill in the blanks. He shares how he was approached in the spring of 1970 about being the one to beat Bruno, then drop the belt a few weeks later to Pedro Morales. "I would have said something at that point, but I was absolutely speechless," Koloff writes of hearing the request in person from Morales.
"The fans knew that I had won the title, but they were so stunned by what had happened that they just stood there," The Russian Bear writes of his WWWF title win. "The referee knew that we were within seconds of having a full-scale riot on our hands, so they wanted me to get out of the ring before anything like that happened."
In a lesser-known incident, Koloff describes a match as champion when Mario Milano seemingly beats him for the belt in front of the TV cameras, where the referee signals for the bell while Koloff is in an abdominal stretch. The bell rings, and Koloff protests, and the referee says that he thought he heard the champ submit, and the bout continues, with Koloff winning. (Insert Montreal Screw-Job comparison here.)
Both Koloff and Sammartino offer up their opinions on the changes in the wrestling business through the years, and share personal details of their own, admittedly, complicated family lives. The reader comes away from both with a greater appreciation of the sacrifices that these men made in their own lives solely for the purpose of entertaining. Sammartino's brushes with big names like Frank Sinatra and time spent with children in hospitals are given equal treatment.
Koloff, in particular, reveals a lot of his missteps along the way, and uses them to show how he found his way back into Christianity. Raised a Roman Catholic in the Ottawa Valley, by his own admission he strayed from what the Bible taught him (including a stint in jail for cattle rustling!). It's moving, and fortunately, not as over-the-top as the preachings of Bill Watts in his own book. (An Addendum by Blackjack Mulligan, entitled Christian Facts Guidance, is plunked at the back of the book -- after the index -- for those who seek more direction.)
Both books are worthy additions to a completionist's bookshelf, despite their differing approaches. Put side by side, they perfectly illustrate the change in the business over the last two decades, the dismantling of the curtain and the raising of reality in an illusory business.
Greg Oliver founded SLAM! Wrestling with John Powell way back in 1996, and has been writing about pro wrestling since 1985. Later in 2007, his third book The Pro Wrestling Hall of Fame: The Heels (with Steven Johnson) is set to come out from ECW Press, complimenting The Pro Wrestling Hall of Fame: The Tag Teams (also with Johnson) and The Pro Wrestling Hall of Fame: The Canadians. Order them both from the SLAM! Wrestling Store. He can be emailed at firstname.lastname@example.com.

Islas del Rosario
Get in[edit]
Several agents arrange boat tours to Islas del Rosario. A set of small islands out of the coast. Usually the tour include lunch, a visit to an aquarium and a few hours at Playa Blanca. Not included in the price is harbor tax and park entrance (C$14.000 total) and the entrance fee to the aquarium (C$20.000). If you buy your tour at one of the street vendors, don't pay in advance, preferably pay part or all at return in Cartagena. At least one of these tours is to a resort "Coco Liso" which is something like a Colombian butlins. You will be promised a beach, pay a high fee, then disembark a boat after an hour and a half to be greeted with a fairly basic hotel, gimicky pool, and about 6 square feet of beach. Buying a piece of "coral" jewellery from one of the many hawkers, engage them in conversation, and they might lead you to their private beach - quite beautiful, and all the more interesting for having its existence totally denied by the tour operators. The tourist offices in the centre of the old town and a good place to compare the many possible trips to the islands.

What an awesome race so well organized the Coury brothers know how to put on one hell of a party.
I was shooting for sub 24 but you know how that goes in a hundred. The planets all have to line up and well they did for a while but after 46 miles they decided to separate. I got the starting of a bladder infection at 46 miles I was peeing blood so decide in order to stay in the game I would have to walk a lot to clear in up and drink,, drink, drink. I did have cranberry juice at headquarters so knew I would be good once I made it back there.
The weather was a little warm on laps 2 & 3 and against my better judgement I only ran with one bottle, stupid girl ;-( I should know better since I get dehydrated very easy and of course get bladder infections because of it. I was able to clear it up and I knew it was going to cool down at night.
It started raining like they said at 12am and luckily I had a rain poncho that I put on. I never needed my gortex I was fine with a long sleeve light shell and rain poncho. I knew going into lap 5 that I would get my pacer Clifton when I returned.
I met up with him just after midnight I was a couple hours slower than I wanted to be but knew we would have fun.
We took off after a shoe change and food. Of course we headed out in a down pour but laughed and chatted the whole way. A good friend is important to have out in the late hours of a hundred.
I was a wibble wobble trying to stay awake. I saw George toilet man who gave some caffeine gum and that helped. Clifton gave me a 5 hour energy and I was good. Non stop talking.
I really had a blast watching all my friends through out the day and night. You do washing machine loops so you get to keep seeing people to cheer on.
I was most impressed with my boyfriend Andy Kumeda who of course killed it in a time of 19:16 if only my little legs could move that fast.
I will be back going for #5 next year. I finished my 79 th hundred to date at JJ ;-)
Looking forward to running # 80 during my birthday run next month. Congrats to everyone.
I would like to also thank Hoka one one for making a shoe that my feet love ;-)))

CLEARFIELD TWP — A wayward deer is blamed for a crash early this morning that injured a trucker and closed all four lanes of Route 422 for several hours.
The highway near the Butler-Armstrong County line was turned into a metal debris field just before 3:30 a.m. when a westbound tractor-trailer hauling scrap steel overturned.
"The driver swerved to miss a deer and his loaded tipped over," said Chief Kevin Hesidenz of the East Butler Volunteer Fire Department.
The rig with the name of a Cresson, Cambria County, company on it ended on its side stretched across lanes in each direction.
The deer was hit and killed.
The truck driver, believed to be in his 60s, suffered what appeared to be minor injuries. He was taken by ambulance to ACMH Hospital near Kittanning.
"There's a lot of scrap on the road," Hesidenz reported from the scene more than two hours after the wreck.
The road was shut down in both directions, between Cornetti Road and Old Route 422, to allow for crews to come in and right the rig and gather up the scrap.
Officials did not expect the road to reopen for traffic until after 9 a.m.
Assisting police and East Butler VFD were firefighters from Herman and Chicora in Butler County and Worthington in Armstrong County.

There was substantial progress in the IDNAbis (aka "IDNA2008") working group during the four hours (Monday PM and Tuesday AM), with total failure avoided and mapping on lookup added to the basic IDNA2008 model. Andrew Sullivan scribed day 1, Eric Brunner-Williams did day 2. The real test is whether the choice meets the needs of the Chinese, Japanese and Korean users. The Korean government has a position, and the Joint Engineering Team (lead by Japan) also presented.
The broad choice was
(1) keep 2008, unicode version independent, inclusive, with property-based rules, with lookup mapping suggested (try 2008, if that fails, try 2003) in an appendix
(2) keep 2008, unicode version independent, inclusive, with property-based rules, and add mapping to lookup only, not registration (aka "bundling")
(3) keep 2003, unicode version dependent, exclusive, with codepoint-based rules, with mapping, with specific fixes, e.g., updating the unicode version from 3.x to 5.x, security-specific changes, etc.
The choice was (2).
Peter Dengate-Thrush sat through all four hours. Monday evening he participated in the San Francisco ISOC Chapter founding wine-and-cheese party.
There was no DNS-EXT meeting. There has been a lively discussion of problems arising from the .gov signing. The DNSOP meeting was uneventful, there is a very good draft on timing of signing events and a good "DNSSEC Operations Guide" in draft.

Transcona Community Church (Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada)
The Transcona Community Church in Winnipeg, Manitoba began services and formally organized in 1983. The group first met in a school gym. The congregation originated through outreach by Winnipeg Mennonite Brethren churches and the Manitoba Mennonite Brethren Conference.
The congregation had attendance of well over 100 in the mid-1980s, but internal conflicts over leadership style in 1987 led to a splintering of the congregation. At that time Edward Hamm resigned as pastor, having served for three years (1984-87).
The congregation dissolved in 1992.
The congregation met at the Palliser Furniture Co. on Pandora Ave. Pastor John Walker served in 1990 as a congregational leader.

USDA's Farm Service Agency (FSA) has released the latest report on foreign holdings of U.S. agricultural land. The publication contains statistics through Feb. 28, 2009, regarding the 22.2 million acres of U.S. agricultural land in which foreign persons hold an interest.
The report, titled Foreign Holdings of U.S. Agricultural Land, is now available on the FSA Web site at: http://www.fsa.usda.gov/FSA/webapp?area=home&subject=ecpa&topic=afa.
The publication reports that foreign persons have an interest in 1.7 percent of all privately held U.S. agricultural land and 0.98 percent of all land in the United States. This is a 1.3 million acre increase from 2008.
The report includes a wide variety of figures and statistics, including:
A breakdown of agricultural land held by foreign persons by the type of acreage:
• Forest land - 59 percent.
• Cropland - 14 percent.
• Pasture and other agricultural land — 27 percent.
Countries with foreign persons holding the largest amount of agricultural and non-agricultural land include:
• Canadians hold the largest amount of land: Over 7.7 million acres, or 34 percent.
Foreign persons from the following three countries collectively hold more than 6.8 million acres, or 30 percent of the foreign held acres in the U.S.:
• Netherlands, almost 3.9 million acres (17 percent),
• United Kingdom, over 1.5 million acres (7 percent), and
• Germany, over 1.4 million acres (6 percent).
The states with the highest proportions of foreign owned agricultural land to all privately owned agricultural land:
• Maine has the largest amount of foreign held U.S. agricultural land at 2.82 million acres, or 15.7 percent of the privately held agricultural land in the state.
• In Hawaii, 8.8 percent of private agricultural land is foreign held.
• Washington (7.6 percent), Nevada (5.2 percent), and Alabama (5.1 percent) have the next largest proportions of foreign held land.
The publication's findings are based on reports submitted in compliance with the Agricultural Foreign Investment Disclosure Act of 1978 (AFIDA). The law was created to establish a nationwide system for the collection of information pertaining to foreign ownership of U.S. agricultural land.
The regulations require foreign investors who acquire, transfer or hold an interest (other than a security interest) in U.S. agricultural land to report such holdings and transactions to the Secretary of Agriculture on an AFIDA Report Form FSA-153. The data gained from these disclosures is used in the preparation of an annual report to Congress.
