Albeit not in sweat, for most of you. But the Dodgers are putting on a workout at the Stadium, led by Don Mattingly, for season ticket holders tonight:
Delivering on the promise of re-establishing the connection between the club and its fans, management has invited season-ticket holders to attend the prep for the second half that opens Friday night against the Padres, with Matt Kemp in the lineup.
Club president Stan Kasten will speak to the fans before manager Don Mattingly runs the club through a workout.
David Siegel, senior director of ticket sales, said the invitation is an added benefit to being a season-ticket holder.
"New ownership has delivered on the things it said it would do from the start, and that resonates with the fans," said Siegel. "Add to that the club's performance in the first half, which has exceeded expectations and gotten a lot of traction with the fans."LOS ANGELES -- The Dodgers will hold a Dodger Stadium workout Thursday night that is closed to the public, but open to season-ticket holders.
Imagine the possibilities! You could be spotted by Ned Colletti and tell him you're a former Giant, and he'd probably sign you on the spot!

Home > Patients & Visitors > Health Library > Post-Term Pregnancy
Full-term babies are delivered sometime between 37 and 42 weeks of pregnancy. (Those weeks are counted from the first day of your last menstrual period.) A pregnancy that has reached 42 or more weeks is called a "post-term" or "post-date" pregnancy. You might also call it "overdue." Pregnancy that lasts beyond the due date is fairly common.
In most cases, there is no obvious cause of a post-term pregnancy.
Some post-term pregnancies are not truly post-term. The due date may not have been figured correctly. (Your due date is 40 completed weeks after your last period. If you ovulated late in your cycle, your pregnancy didn't start as early as this due date says.)
An ultrasound measurement of your fetus during the first trimester can give the most accurate due date. But even that due date is an estimate of when you might deliver.
Most often, a post-term baby is born in good health. But a very small number of post-term pregnancies are linked to stillbirth and infant death. This is why your doctor or nurse-midwife will watch you closely after 40 to 41 weeks.
Many doctors and nurse-midwives want to lower risks for the post-term baby by delivering by or before 42 weeks. In most cases, watching and waiting is also fine. It is often hard to know which choice is best during the 2 weeks after the due date:
For safety reasons, most health professionals will plan to deliver a baby by 42 weeks, inducing labor if necessary.

Raglan Road food allergy review
By : Allergy Free Mouse | In : Guest, Quick Review, Review
Tags: Downtown Disney, Food Allergy, Gluten Free, Raglan Road, Review, Soy Allergy
When we checked in, we told the hostess that we had food allergies. This information was passed to the waitress, and she went back and got the chef. I unfortunately don't know his name, but he was MORE THAN WILLING to help us find something that we could eat. Too bad we had to scream at him to tell him what our allergies were because of how loud the band was. He said "well, I'll make you up some gluten free pasta with a soy-free cheese sauce with some veggies, how does that sound?" GREAT!!!
He brought out the pasta dishes and I must say, they were HOT, but sooooo good. Brenton helped me finish mine because it was so rich (and he can always eat haha). The food was FANTASTIC, and though it was very loud in there, we wouldn't hesitate to go back.

Grilled peaches, plums, pair well with sweet sauces
As nectarines, peaches and plums are still around—and relatively sweet—until the end of September, it's time to get while the gettin' is good, as they say.
There are several ways to prepare these stone fruits and melons. I love using peaches for cobbler or pie, nectarines are so sweet I can eat them sliced in yogurt, and plums go well in tarts, but I also know that not everyone has time to throw together a tart or a cobbler on a whim.
They definitely need some planning. But fruit doesn't have to be boring if you don't have a lot of time.
This past Sunday, my mom wanted to grill some peaches and eat them with ice cream. It turned out to be an excellent, quick—and fairly elegant—dessert. So I started thinking about other ways to prepare grilled fruit.
What I came up with is a simple but impressive dessert fit for a dinner party.
I picked up almost all the ingredients for only $20, and it could easily feed four people. I created two sauces: a balsamic glace and a mascarpone cremé.
The glace is a simple reduction of balsamic vinegar that takes 30 minutes and is well worth the wait. The sweet syrupy mixture is brushed on the fruit and creates a caramel texture once it hits the grill.
The other topping is a mascarpone cremé: mascarpone cheese mixed with honey, a little bit of sugar and cinnamon creates just enough sweetness to cut through the smokiness of the grilled fruit.
You can also use the balsamic glaze on grilled sliced of cantaloupe with prosciutto for a delicious sweet/salty dish.

This is the story of an author and his apprentice. It is the story of literary influence and tragedy. It is also the story of incarceration in America.Norman Mailer was writing The Executioner's Song, his novel about condemned killer Gary Gilmore, when he struck up a correspondence with Jack Henry Abbott, Federal Prisoner 87098-132. Over time, Abbott convinced the famous author that he was a talented writer who deserved another chance at freedom. With letters of support from Mailer and other literary elites of the day, Abbott was released on parole in 1981. With Mailer's help, Abbott quickly became the literary "it boy" of New York City. But in a shocking turn of events, the day before a rave review of Abbott's book, In the Belly of the Beast, appeared in The New York Times, Abbott murdered a New York City waiter and fled to Mexico. Eerily, like Gary Gilmore in Mailer's true-life novel, Abbott killed within six weeks of his release from prison. Now Jerome Loving explores the history of two of the most infamous books of the past 50 years, a fascinating story that has never before been told.

From the endless sand dunes in the world's oldest desert, to the vast salt pan and teeming waterholes of Etosha, to the haunting Skeleton Coast, Namibia's diversity is simply awe-inspiring
Selected departures from March to November 2018
You should arrive at the airport to take your overnight flight to Johannesburg.
After your morning arrival you will connect with your onward 1 hour 50 minute flight to Windhoek, the capital of Namibia and our hotel for the night, the centrally-located four-star Avani Hotel with breakfast. The rest of the afternoon is at leisure to relax after your flight.
We leave Windhoek this morning and soon we are in open country, without another building or road in sight. This is our first experience of driving on Namibia's famed gravel roads, but with a smooth ride on our specially adapted coach. We stop to appreciate the scenery as we cross the Tropic of Capricorn. The low hills in the distance are interspersed with acacia trees and bushes – the soils here, as in most places in Namibia, are far too poor for agriculture, so this is cattle country, but you'll wonder exactly what they find to eat! You'll start spotting some game too: some tall Kudus or springbok perhaps and many trees with huge thatch-like structures which are the nests of sociable weaver birds. We arrive in Solitaire at around lunchtime – it's no more than a filling station and lunch-stop surrounded by hundreds of square miles of emptiness. Our hotel for two nights is the 3-star superior Namib Desert Lodge, on dinner and breakfast basis.
An early start today as we enter the vast Namib Naukluft National Park. Look out for oryx, with their long straight horns, superbly adapted for this harsh climate. The further we drive, the redder and higher the dunes become, before finally reaching the point where the road ends and we transfer on to 4x4 vehicles for the final 3-mile drive through the sand to the Sossusvlei dunes. In the distance you'll be able to discern the enormous bulk of 'Big Daddy', at 325 metres one of the highest dunes in Namibia. Our destination is Dead Vlei, located on a flat clay salt pan, the dramatic contrast between the white salt pan and the sun-blackened stumps of the trees against the red sand of the dunes is absolutely extraordinary. The more adventurous can climb of one of the nearby dunes, but remember you'll need to tackle the rather steeper descent. Your afternoon is at leisure at our hotel – the sunsets here are simply amazing and at night you'll see more stars than you could have thought possible.
Subject to availability, you may have the option to go on a hot-air balloon flight, to watch the sunrise from high above the vast sea of dunes of the Namib – an experience few superlatives can describe! After breakfast we head towards the Atlantic coast at Walvis Bay and Swakopmund. Walvis Bay is the main port of Namibia whilst Swakopmund retains the air of a sedate seaside resort, with its red and white lighthouse, its pier and lush gardens – a world away from the surrounding desert landscape. Our Swakopmund hotel for two nights is the 3-star superior Plaza Hotel with breakfast.
A day at leisure to enjoy the charms and sea air of Swakopmund, with its clean wide streets and German-inspired architecture. There are plenty of shops, restaurants, a long beach and numerous optional trips to try out. One of the most popular is a catamaran harbour cruise in search of dolphins, seals and seabirds; there's also light aircraft flights along the stunning coastline to spot some of the famous shipwrecks of the Skeleton Coast; finally, there's the opportunity for a desert drive in 4x4 vehicles on a 'living desert' tour to track and spot all the amazing geckos, lizards, beetles and chameleons that manage to survive this inhospitable environment.
This morning we follow the coast north towards the Skeleton Coast before arriving at Cape Cross, site of the largest Cape fur seal colony in world. Sustained by the nutrient-rich waters of the cold Benguela current the sheer size of the colony is a sight to behold – but be prepared for the smell! Turning inland we cross into Damaraland, an area of desert, including Namibia's highest mountain, which is rich in ancient remains. Our hotel for two nights is the 3-star Damara Mopane Lodge with dinner and breakfast.
Our destination today is Twyfelfontein, Namibia's first UNESCO World Heritage Site, with numerous 6,000-year old rock engravings. As you would expect, there are depictions of animals to be found locally such zebras, lions and giraffes, but intriguingly a seal and penguin are also shown, which live hundreds of miles away. The whole area is surrounded by fractured red sandstone cliffs and escarpments – with few signs of human settlement. Nearby we'll also visit the organ pipe rock formation before an included lunch. Your afternoon is at leisure to relax in the spacious gardens and pool at your hotel.
Today we gain a fascinating insight into the culture of the local tribe, the Himba. Following a semi-nomadic lifestyle, they have retained much of their unique customs, dress and very distinctive hairstyles! We visit them at one of the local villages, guided by members of the tribe, to see their way of life at first hand. We stay for one night at the 3-star superior Taleni Etosha Village, with dinner and breakfast.
This morning we enter Etosha, Namibia's most famous national park. Slightly larger than Wales, Etosha is home to over 100 mammal species, including elephants, giraffe, rhino, lions and elusive leopards. Our first stop is the Okaukuelo waterhole where you are usually guaranteed to see a large variety of game. Continuing our drive through the park, we stop at other waterholes and the Etosha Outlook viewpoint which is located in the salt pan itself. Our home for the next two nights is the excellent four-star Mokuti Lodge on dinner and breakfast basis, the closest lodge to the park's eastern gate. With its numerous thatched buildings, lush gardens and pools, this cool, green oasis of calm is an ideal spot for some 'down-time'.
A day at leisure to enjoy the beautiful gardens and facilities of your lodge. Alternatively, the lodge also has its own spa and half-day safaris are also available into Etosha
Saying goodbye to Etosha we head south, finally back on tarmac roads, towards Windhoek. On the way we stop for a visit to the popular Okahandja craft market, full of interesting wood carvings and curios. Our destination is the Midgard Country Estate, set in its own 29,600 acres of beautiful countryside. With two swimming pools, large stables, hiking trails, a vintage car collection and even a skittle alley, this is a fascinating last night in Namibia. Dinner is included tonight.
A morning at leisure until our afternoon departure for our return overnight flight to the UK, via Johannesburg.
You arrive home this morning after a truly extraordinary tour.
Namibia is one of our most extraordinary destinations – its amazing, remote and extreme landscapes have created an utterly unique country of exceptional and surprising beauty. The statistics are incredible – as one of the world's emptiest countries, Namibia has the third lowest population density in the world. The vast Namib Desert, the oldest in the world, covers the whole coastal region, 1,243 mi from north to south and extending 93 mi into the interior. The rest of the land is either mountainous or semi-arid, and includes a large part of the Kalahari. Only 1% of the land is arable. The country itself is more than three times the size of the UK, but with a population barely over two million.
Back in the 1880s, during the 'scramble for Africa', what is now Namibia became one of a number of German colonies across West Africa. At first, the settlers were few and co-operated with the various indigenous tribes. However, after an uprising in 1904 was brutally crushed by the German authorities many thousands perished from thirst and starvation. After the end of WWI the local tribes were initially more welcoming to South Africa, which was entrusted to administer the country. After a prolonged guerrilla war during the last few years of apartheid, Namibia finally gained its independence in 1990.
Whilst many people are surprised to hear that Namibia is such a young country, it is remarkably stable and efficient. The infrastructure in Windhoek and other major towns is much better than many other African countries, however much of the road network is made up of gravel roads – the very low rainfall means that they remain in good condition throughout the year and our coaches are specially adapted for these conditions.
The country's small capital, Windhoek, is our first port of call – you'll notice some German street names and a few older buildings here and there, but generally this is a low-rise modern city of wide clean avenues, rows of palm and jacaranda trees interspersed with a few 19th-century church steeples. Within just a 10-minute drive of the centre you'll find yourself in open countryside and within another 10 minutes you've lost sight of the city altogether. That's the beauty of Namibia – you are always a short distance away from the wide-open vistas and unspoilt horizons of the real Africa.
The Namib Desert is undoubtedly a major highlight – this vast sea of shifting dunes is 55 million years old, the world's oldest desert. The seemingly endless panorama of shadow and light, with an astounding palette of colours ranging from orange, terracotta to deep reds is at its best early in the morning or at sunset. The dunes at Sossusvlei are some of the highest in the world and you'll have the opportunity to climb one of the dunes overlooking the remarkable Dead Vlei salt pan. Amazingly, specially-adapted animals do manage to live here – look out for oryx and ostriches in amongst the camel thorn trees along the dry river beds.
As a complete contrast, the seaside resort of Swakopmund with its fine Lutheran church, lush gardens and red and white Lighthouse looks a world away from the harsh arid landscape that surrounds it. Founded in 1892 as the country's main harbour, nowadays the port facilities are down the coast at Walvis Bay and Swakomund is a pleasant, though somewhat sleepy, holiday spot with a nice beach, interesting colonial buildings and a number of good fish restaurants. It's also the starting point for a number of fascinating trips: take a light aircraft flight over the Namib; visit the nearby dunes with a specialist naturalist guide or take a catamaran cruise in the bay to spot dolphins and seals.
Towards the north of the country the region of Damaraland is a remote and ruggedly beautiful region with Namibia's highest mountain, cliffs and arid valleys with numerous fascinating examples of ancient rock art. We visit the most famous of these, now a UNESCO World Heritage site, dating back 6,000 years. We'll also visit a village of the local Himba tribe, with time for you to ask questions about their daily lives and see their remarkable hairstyles and jewellery.
Etosha National Park, despite being one of the emptiest places in Namibia – nothing grows on its enormous salt pan – is nevertheless the best place to see the huge variety of wildlife that has adapted to this difficult environment. Etosha's famous waterholes attract everything from rhino, to elephants, zebras, giraffes and lions, all in close proximity to one another. Not all of Etosha is made up of the barren salt pan, so there's also plenty of exciting opportunities to track game in the bush too.
After so many years of South African influence, almost everyone in Namibia speaks English, as well as 'Namlish' – a fascinating mixture of German, Africaans, local dialects and English. Namibian cuisine has also been strongly influenced by German culture – you'll find dishes like wiener schnitzel, tasty sausages and excellent locally-brewed lagers in restaurants. The South African predilection for a good 'braai' (BBQ) can be experienced in the wide range of freshly grilled game meats at most hotels and of course there's also a varied selection of well-priced Cape wines to choose from.
It is no exaggeration that Namibia is a unique destination – you'll be amazed at its diversity, its wildlife, its colours and its people, all within a vast landscape that will capture your imagination and your heart.
The price of this holiday is per person, based on two people sharing a twin room. Limited numbers of single rooms are subject to availability at the relevant supplement above. Scheduled return flights to Johannesburg with return connections to Windhoek; all transfers; eleven nights' accommodation on bed and breakfast basis, plus eleven meals; visit to Sossusvlei dunes, visit to Cape Cross, Twyfeldontein rock art site, Hambi village and full day Etosha safari; hotel porterage of one item of luggage per person; the services of a Riviera Travel tour manager.

The adoption towards security systems for corporates, SMEs (Small and Medium Enterprises) and individuals is increasing across the globe and it has become the backbone for enterprises to sustain in the competitive environment. The market for security is broadly classified as cyber security and physical security.
Cyber security has evolved substantially over the past decade. As a part of the strategy, business entities have taken a holistic approach rather than a standalone one in policy-framing, by setting up a management security forum and committees. Additionally, a business-aligned security approach is enabling the earlier involvement of security in new initiatives rather than having to bolt-on expensive security remedies later. Embedding risk management, putting processes and technologies in place for information security and continuous monitoring and study of emerging threats are considered essential for the implementation of a security strategy.
Solution/service covering any of these 9 areas comes under cyber security
• Data Security • Application Security • Implementation
• Identity & Access • Network Security • Management
• Endpoint Security • Security Monitoring • Audit & Compliance
Few key applications of security include industrial control system security, critical infrastructure protection, facilities security, transportation security, etc.

Moosic, Pa. - There's something special about a baseball diamond. Add kids to the scene and you have the storybook home run. The Scranton/Wilkes-Barre RailRiders (Triple-A/New York Yankees) hope to help area youth enjoy America's pastime all the more with the 2014 edition of the team's Adopt-a-Field Program.
What began a few years ago with two teams getting the annual makeover, one each from Lackawanna County and Luzerne County, has blossomed into a four-field program. In 2014, that will consist of one high school field, one softball field, and two youth fields. Field nominations should be sent to the RailRiders' community relations manager Rachel Mark (email@example.com). Entries from both Lackawanna and Luzerne counties will be accepted and they should include both photos of the fields in need of renovation and related contact information.
The RailRiders will select the top five fields in each category. From there, online voting will determine the winners. The voting will run from April 6-13 with the victors announced on April 14.
"We want every kid in our community to play at their own version of PNC Field," said RailRiders team president/GM Rob Crain. "That means a high-quality field that can be properly maintained for years to come. I love this program. We as a franchise are committed to doing what we can for our neighbors and this is one of the most fun and directly impactful efforts we can provide. We owe a lot of thanks to Bob Seltzer at Fisher & Son, Company and Pro's Choice for their generous donations of materials to make this all possible."
The program affords an individualized evaluation and athletic field maintenance clinic to the chosen sites. More than the initial facelift care of the RailRiders' raw manpower and expertise, the teams will be taught how to keep up that same professional-level look for years to come.
"This is a great opportunity to provide those maintaining local fields with the knowledge needed to maintain a safe and beautiful playing surface," said the team's director of field operations, Steve Horne. "Many leagues don't have the tools, manpower or guidance needed to keep their fields in good shape. Hopefully, after our crew comes in to help get them started, we can develop a plan that will benefit the leagues and their players for years to come."
Media members and fans will be invited to document and watch the progress throughout the day at each site. The first makeover will take place on April 29. Other dates and all sites will be announced at a later date once voting concludes.
The RailRiders' 2014 season begins on Thursday, April 3 when the club kicks off a seven-game road trip at Syracuse against the Chiefs (Washington Nationals).The home slate commences a week later on Thursday, April 10 when the Chiefs visit PNC Field for a four-game series and homestand. For season ticket information or to book a ballpark group outing, call (570) 969-BALL (2255) or visit swbrailriders.com.

December 4, 1955
Yogi Versus Commissar By WILLIAM BARRETT
And Other Essays. By Arthur Koestler.
or the past few years Arthur Koestler has been writing like a man preparing for death. Several volumes of an autobiography have already appeared and they read like "Memoires d'outre Tombe"- Koestler speaking from beyond the grave; the present volume continues in the same vein, with Koestler trying to wrap it all up and settle his last earthly score with politics.
Thus did that brutal decade of the Nineteen Thirties either kill off its writers who got entangled with communism or transfix them with its Gorgon's stare into perpetual witnesses to their leftist past. Those who survived did so by miracles of self-renewal: Auden and Silone found religion, and Malraux, with more lives than a cat, made a sensational leap into a new mystique of art. Koestler has had to stick it out with less grace and less gifts than these writers. Yet now here he too is, at last, edging toward the door of a church that does not yet exist. He has now said all he has to say on the subject of politics: "Cassandra has gone hoarse, and is due for a vocational change." Of this new vocation he is not altogether certain, but in its spiritual groping it looks more like the Yogi than the Commissar.
One thing we can be certain about from Koestler's progress is that anti-communism is not enough. Not enough to beat communism with, and certainly not enough to do for a religion or a philosophy, which it threatens to become in the hands of its more ardent practitioners. Koestler deserves credit for the honesty of this admission, and it is well to remember this honesty just now when it seems to have become fashionable to dislike him. Koestler was an anti-Communist when it was neither easy nor fashionable, and when, for the political education of the general public, it counted most. Also, he happened to be one of the most intelligent of the anti-Communists. Now he knows that that job has been done, the business of anti-communism has been taken from the hands of the intellectuals, and issues that remain that are more fundamental than politics. The collapse of the Communist Empire overnight would not resolve the plight of the modern man.
The book divides neatly into three sections that more or less outline the whole message: The Challenge, Diversions, The Failure of Response. The time is one of challenge (Koestler describes this in some pretty good political reportage), but we seek diversions (novels and science fiction) and so fail to respond to that challenge (and so are on the way out like the dinosaur). The second section is by far the weakest, containing some slight essays on the novel and science fiction and one hair-raising discussion of Judaism, the plain and simple point of which is that the Jews should either give up their religion or go to Israel. Since the Jew is defined by his religion, Koestler argues, and since this religion is separatist, ergo the Jew should physically separate himself from the community in which he is bound to be an alien. It seems odd that Koestler has not stopped to observe that this is one of the stock-in-trade arguments of professional anti-Semitism.
In the final and title essay he does make it very clear that he means what his title implies and mankind is following the dinosaur. In the last 300 years man's power over nature has risen so sharply that if plotted as a curve it would look in the last decades like a vertical leap; and during the same period the human spiritual curve has dropped at the same rate until it now points almost vertically down. The divergence of the two curves is a measure of the explosive situation of modern man. Only a great spiritual resurgence could close the gap between the two. But the churches, he tells us, have so far produced not even the faintest glimmerings of a new spiritual springtide; and while Koestler will accept, even wants, a religion "that relegates reason to its proper humble place without contradicting it," he feels the existing religions demand nothing short of intellectual suicide. We can only wait for the new god to be born.
So if Koestler writes like a man already dead, it is because he is the one crying for rebirth. We might be tempted to dismiss his pessimism with the bland reminder that mankind has always survived such dire apprehensions in the past; but this time, alas, there is a very big difference, and it is a fact on Koestler's side- namely, the bomb does exist, and it is in the hands of an animal whom on the basis of past experience we have no reason at all for trusting.
Mr. Barrett teaches philosophy at New York University.

FeaturesPoliticsChoosing Canada's next liberal leader The Liberal Party of Canada hopes to again challenge for power after a new leader takes the helm. 13 Apr 2013 12:57 GMT | Politics, US & Canada, Afghanistan, Canada, China Liberal Party leadership candidates (L-R) Trudeau, Murray, McCrimmon, Findlay, Coyne and Cauchon [Reuters]By Rahul Radhakrishnan @RahulRadhakris Supporters of the Liberal Party of Canada (LPC) have been casting their ballots to elect a new leader to helm the country's oldest political party. The new leader of the centrist party will be announced on Sunday at an event in the capital city of Ottawa. In the 2011 federal elections, the liberal party received the fewest seats in its history, and lost its position as the Official Opposition. Then-party leader Michael Ignatieff lost his own seat and resigned from the leadership. Toronto MP Bob Rae was appointed as Ignatieff's interim successor by party grandees, but this weekend's poll will choose a leader to face Conservative Prime Minister Stephen Harper and the New Democratic Party's Thomas Mulcair in federal elections in 2015. The Bloc Quebecois and the Green Party of Canada will also contest the 2015 elections. The LPC's current policies include education reform, sustainable universal health care, investing in renewable energy production, increasing corporate taxes and reducing the national deficit. The party had previously agreed to legalise same-sex marriage and the use of marijuana for medical purposes. Regaining a seat at the top table of Canadian politics will not be an easy task for the country's liberal party, which has previously found itself relying on attacks against Harper's right-wing governance in order to score its political points. While campaigning in 2011, Ignatieff had said that Harper was "out of touch with the priorities of Canadian families". "He's led a government whose record of waste, contempt and abuse of power has gone out of control." The Harper administration withdrew Canada's signature from the Kyoto Accord, cut down development assistance to Africa, gave up its seat at the United Nations Security Council, and severed diplomatic ties with Iran. However, Harper spearheaded the withdrawal of Canadian troops from Afghanistan, and also helped Canada largely recover from the economic crisis faster than any of the G7 countries. He has also made Canada's Arctic sovereignty a priority during his leadership. Al Jazeera looks at the six candidates running for the leadership of the LPC and outlines some of their key campaign pledges. Martin Cauchon Lawyer, former Liberal cabinet minister under Prime Minister Jean Chretien A 50-year-old from the French-Canadian province of Quebec, Cauchon was formerly justice minister under liberal Prime Minister Jean Chretien. He also currently sits as the vice chairman of the Canada-China Business council. Martin Cauchon [Reuters] If elected, he promises to begin negotiations for a free trade agreement with China in order to "in order to stimulate growth and favour job creation and prosperity".He championed Chretien's decision not to get involved in the US-led Iraq War, and said that Canada should take a mediaion role instead, a role he claims has receded under the Harper administration.Cauchon's foreign policy platform includes the creation of a new office for conflict prevention within the UN's department of political affairs, replacing the office of religious freedom with an office devoted to the promotion of human rights worldwide, and campaigning for a seat on the UN's human rights council in order to boost the country into more of a leadership role within international legal standings. Deborah Coyne Constitutional lawyer, professor Deborah Coyne [Reuters] A Toronto-based 58-year-old author, Coyne's "one Canada for all Canadians" campaign runs on an "issues agenda". She is a member of the Canadian Immigration and Refugee Board. On her campaign website, Coyne argues that the Indian Act, a statute giving legal rights and legal disabilities for Canada's indigenous peoples, must be dismantled and be replaced with a self-governance arrangement between the federal government and the First Nations. She stands for instituting a carbon tax to protect the environment, and reforming immigration policy to admit more foreign workers into the country. She also opposes the secession of the province of Quebec from Canada. Martha Hall Findlay Lawyer, entrepreneur, former Member of Parliament Martha Hall Findlay [Reuters] Martha Hall Findlay, a 53-year-old Toronto-based businesswoman, was a member of parliament between 2008 and 2011 for the electoral district of Willowdale in Toronto, Ontario. Her policies include reforming the senate. She wants members to be selected by a multi-party strategy, with significant changes proposed in the way senators are appointed. Under the current system, each province has a set number of senator seats, while are filled by members hand-picked by the governor-general, under advice from the prime minister.She maintains that Canada, while never a superpower, must try to regain its "respect" for its engagement "in thoughtful diplomacy and intelligent involvement on the international stage". This includes a refocusing of foreign policy to concentrate on peace-building and peace-keeping, with a renewed commitment to the United Nations. Karen McCrimmon Canadian Armed Forces veteran Karen McCrimmon [Reuters] Hailing from Weston, Ontario, Karen McCrimmon is a retired Lieutenant Colonel and was the first woman to lead a Canadian air-force squadron.She served in the Gulf War, the NATO-led Balkan campaigns, and in Afghanistan. She was also a competitive skier during the late 1970s. McCrimmon campaigns on battling youth unemployment and increasing benefits to Canadian war veterans.In her manifesto, she maintains that the issues of first-nations people are key, and if elected, says she intends on sharing revenues in partnership with indigenous people in order to manage the country's northern development.She also proposes an immigrant aid programme which will help migrants and minorities to transition into life in Canada, and also help to protect victims of human-trafficking. Joyce Murray Environmental advocate, Member of Parliament A South Africa-born businesswoman from Vancouver, British Columbia, 58-year-old Joyce Murray has been a member of Canada's House of Commons, the lower house of parliament, since 2008. Joyce Murray [Reuters] The only candidate in the leadership race from Western Canada, Murray's campaign runs on the need for "a sustainable society" in the country. She intends to introduce carbon-pricing in order to address climate change.According to her campaign, under a Murray leadership, federal boards, commissions, and agencies would have a minimum of 40 percent of each gender on their boards of directors, further advancing women's participation in representative democracy. Currently, Canada ranks 49th in the world for the participation of women in parliament.Citing the Arab Spring as inspiration, her "Canadian Democracy Initative" involves the creation of an office within the department of foreign affairs to lead the country's "democracy-building efforts" internationally.Her policies also include building "strategic partnerships with other democratic nations, and where invited, [to] support transitional countries seeking to build democratic institutions, particularly in the Middle East and Africa". She has also proposed that a Canadian Youth Corps be created, which would send young Canadians to support democracy initiatives around the world. Justin Trudeau Member of parliament, former drama teacher and ski instructor Justin Trudeau [Reuters] Representing the Papineau region in Quebec, 41-year-old Justin Trudeau's campaign has not provided detailed policy on several issues, including foreign affairs and the economy. He is, however, a likely candidate to win the leadership according to recent polls. He is the eldest son of former Canadian PM Pierre Trudeau, whose legacy includes strengthening Canadian nationalism and also the country's ideas of multiculturalism. He has previously expressed that he is in favour of oil sands development including the highly controversial Keystone XL pipeline. Often in Canada's media spotlight, Justin Trudeau says that it is the middle class which must unify the country in order to build "a better Canada". In a speech to announce his candidacy in October, Trudeau said he was running because he believed the country "wants and needs new leadership". His campaign for "change", echoing Barack Obama's rhetoric, has become popular among Canadian youth. Follow Rahul Radhakrishnan on Twitter: @RahulRadhakrisSource: Al Jazeera

Sexual Violence is something that will affect most of us either personally or through the experience of a loved one. In fact, 1 in 4 women and 1 in 5 men in Virginia have been sexually assaulted before age 18 (Childhood Sexual Assault Victimization in Virginia, August 2004, Simpson & Odor, Virginia Department of Health). Because sexual abuse and assault is so prevalent, it is important that all of us know about this issue and how to interact with everyone who is affected by it.
More importantly, we need to start working to prevent violence before it starts!
The Collins Center is committed to educating individuals and raising awareness in our community, but at the same time working toward changing attitudes, norms, behaviors and environments that allow sexual violence in our society. We believe that sexual violence is preventable, but that it will take a comprehensive approach to address all factors on multiple levels. The Collins Center is committed to doing prevention work with individuals of all ages and backgrounds.

You know a thought occurred to me, Fleiss or someone alluded to a crier in this group. Is it possible that the 'Sheena crying in car' is actually an emotional woman on the WAY to the FRC and she is petrified during the in- car interview they always do on the way over.Just seems so odd to 'out' a final four in this manner, IMHO.... Also put me in the camp of it being Sheena on the beach, not Bettina, the girl on beach has a flatter bum and much smaller calves than the Bettina portrayed in the 'blowing kiss' pic. Also on some of those close up shots the girls nose appears broader than Bettina's.

Doesn't the ring belong to the brunette (Sarah??) leaning over and holding something in her right hand. The shoulder witht he yellow strap belongs to her. The blond next to her, has a black halter top (see the strap under her hair) and the person next to her (Stephi??) is wearing the blue dress ... I think. DeAnna and Jenni are behind Brad and well as another brunette.

Does anybody else find it less than pleasant to be "lumped together" in rooms on a floor when the hotel is virtually empty? I know it's for ease of housekeeping but it's not the best scenario for a frequent traveler who doesn't "work" the normal hours.
Reading between the lines, the issue is really the noise from the other guests rather than the contrived neighborhood. The hotel has a responsibility to keep other guests respectable to the needs of all guests - implying this is the problem, not the convenience of housekeeping.
To be "grouped" wouldn't bother me; to be annoyed by others is definitely an issue that I would take up with management.
Why not ask when you check in for a secluded room and explain your non-normal hours? This should also minimize the normal noise of housekeeping in the hallway which you might find disruptive along with other guests normal activity at times when you'd prefer quiet.
I wouldn't think this would be anymore different than requesting a room away from the elevator and ice machine. Or away from the kitchen if you are late sleeper. Or away from a loud nightclub/bar scene?
Usually if you ask and explain the reason behind your request I find the desk clerks to be quite accomodating.

Vincent Van Gogh was a late bloomer, just beginning to seriously pursue art at age 29, at the prompting of his brother Theo. In Sorrow, we see the progress that Van Gogh had made after two years of serious study. Always lacking in money, Van Gogh often drew and painted his neighbors or people he hired off the street to model, but Sorrow is a portrait of his mistress — the pregnant, homeless prostitute Clasina Maria Hoornik, who went by the name Sien.
When Van Gogh met Sien, she was sick, weak from post-operative complications and venereal disease. Van Gogh moved Sien and her daughter into his home, where he drew and painted her, and attempted to nurse her back to health. Sien was a tragic muse for Van Gogh — they shared a penchant for depression and alcoholism, and their relationship struck a permanent rift between Van Gogh and many of his family and friends.
Sorrow is a poignant work, simple in execution but representative of the exhaustion of the working poor. Across the bottom of the drawing is inscribed a quote from the social historian Jules Michelet, reading Comment se fait-il qu'il y ait sur la terre une femme seule, délaissée? — "How can there be on earth a woman alone, abandoned?"
Van Gogh considered Sorrow to be one of his most effective portraits, about the work he said, "I want to make drawings that touch some people. Sorrow is a small beginning ... there is at least something directly from my own heart."
