YMCA programs tackle childhood obesity
Every day we are confronted with news that is bad: Obesity, diabetes, death by drowning – the second leading cause of death in children under 12, the opioid epidemic.
Here is news that is good: The YMCA of Greater Nashua's programs are evidence-based and proven to tackle these seemingly insurmountable societal issues.
? The obesity epidemic is growing, especially in our youth. Our Prescribe the Y program provides support and education that heads off childhood obesity.
? The rate of diabetes is exploding. We offer diabetes prevention programs that help you learn your risk and then take action.
? Drowning is the second leading cause of death in children under 12, particularly children from low-income families. The Y teaches swim lessons, offers scholarships for those lessons, and partners with school systems to help all kids be proficient swimmers.
? Teens are barraged with the opportunity to take drugs. We help teens stay away from opioids through our Y-Achievers and Leaders Club. And we keep kids engaged over the summer through Camp Sargent, our summer day camp, and Camp Spaulding, our overnight camp.
? Early childhood learning is proven to be foundational to later school and workforce achievements. The Y offers quality early childhood education to hundreds of very young children, giving their parents the peace of mind to work.
? National studies show that children in third grade who are reading below grade level are more susceptible to dropping out in high school, likely leading to a lower wage job for the rest of their life, a higher propensity for substance abuse, incarceration, and lower self-esteem. The Y is helping to combat illiteracy with our 6-week Summer Learning Loss Prevention Program based in the Ledge Street School.
All of this and we offer fitness programs for thousands in the Greater Nashua community, too. Last year, 32,500 people got active with the YMCA of Greater Nashua.
Everything we do revolves around:
? Youth Development: Nurturing the potential of every child
? Healthy Living: Improvingwell-beingand quality oflifefor allages
? Social Responsibility: Partnering with 40 area social service agencies to leverage impact
Serving all regardless of their ability to pay is a YMCA core value. Last year the YMCA of Greater Nashua provided $748,829 in scholarships for more than 3,500 children and families.
The YMCA of Greater Nashua is now at a crossroads. We do not have the space to scale up our programming. We could help even more people prevent diabetes, help even more youth stop the obesity trend, help even more very young children gain foundational learning, help even more adults be fit, if we had more space.
To grow our programs that address these societal issues, the Y must improve and expand its buildings.
We could grow our space over the next decade through annual capital projects, but where would that leave those who could be served by our programming? Ten years is too long to wait.
Over the past two years, the YMCA of Greater Nashua has raised $3.6 million from generous donors throughout the region. Thanks to these funds, we will make an unprecedented investment in Y facilities to grow and expand Y programs.
? We will build a 6,000 square-foot addition to the Nashua Y that will double the cardio area, add a Program Studio to support wellness programs and movement-based programs for children, and create a new multi-purpose room that will house our healthy living initiatives. Nutrition classes, chronic disease prevention programs, and education seminars will now have a home. The room will be available for programming by nonprofits in the community without space of their own.
? We will overhaul the pool and locker rooms at the Merrimack Y, the premier provider of aquatics programs, senior activities, and youth development programs in the region. This includes state-of-the-art circulation and filtrations systems so the pool will use 2/3 less chlorine and the addition of a fun play element for kids, creating great water play time for children in our youth development programs and member families.
? We will build new cabins and renovate existing ones at Camp Sargent and Camp Spaulding, ensuring more children achieve the camp experience each summer. Summer camps provide pivotal growth experiences for children, improving social skills, opportunities for leadership development, and conquering challenges. Our goal is campers have fun, make friends, and continue learning throughout the summer. The YMCA of Greater Nashua offers the traditional camp experience for 2,500 youth a summer from all backgrounds in two rural locations: Camp Sargent on Lake Naticook in Merrimack and Camp Spaulding on the Contoocook River in Concord.
? We have already added six new early education classrooms and one new classroom for After School Students to the Merrimack Y, increasing the number of children we serve by 109. The classrooms were full the day they opened and there is a waiting list.
Now I hope you will join us. When the Y's programs have grown, we all benefit – child care; wellness after cancer treatment; teen leadership; youth development; nutrition; diabetes prevention and management; adult fitness, it's all at the Y.
Please join us. Contribute to the Y's growth and expansion. To contribute, please call 598-1533 or go to www.nmymca.org.

What does UEFA mean?
- The Union of European Football Associations is the administrative body for association football in Europe and, partially, Asia. It is one of six continental confederations of world football's governing body FIFA. UEFA consists of fifty-four national associations members. UEFA represents the national football associations of Europe, runs nation and club competitions including the UEFA European Championship, UEFA Champions League, UEFA Europa League, and UEFA Super Cup, and controls the prize money, regulations and media rights to those competitions. UEFA was founded on 15 June 1954 in Basel after consultation between the Italian, French, and Belgian associations. Initially, the European football union consisted of 25 members which number doubled by the early 1990s. Not all sovereign countries of Europe are members of UEFA, yet all non-members are micro states. Several Asian countries were also admitted to the European football association, particularly Israel and Kazakhstan, which had been members of the Asian football association. Until 1959 the main headquarters were located in Paris, and later in Bern. Since 1995, UEFA headquarters transferred to Nyon, Switzerland. Henri Delaunay was the first General Secretary and Ebbe Schwartz the first president. The current president is Michel Platini.

A Norwich man lied about being robbed Thursday night to cover up his gambling losses at Mohegan Sun, police said.
Andrew W. Safranski, 24, called 911 at 7:37 p.m. and said he was the victim of an armed robbery in the casino's parking lot, state police said.
After being questioned by police, Safranski admitted he made up the incident after losing money gambling and being worried that family members would be upset at him, police said.
Safranski was charged with second-degree making a false statement and second-degree falsely reporting an incident. He was scheduled to appear Friday in Norwich Superior Court.

My chain keeps coming off. My gears are loose. My back brake isn't working. And my back tire is fraying.
My back tire has been wobbly for the last few weeks. But I've been ignoring the wobble until a fellow cyclist rode up beside me and told me I better get my tire looked at ASAP.
So I finally took it to MEC last night. Because my tires are so friggin' fat on my cruiser, it's going to cost a lot to get a new one.
Now as cool as my bike looks, my grandpa bought it from Canadian Tire … i.e. it was a Canadian Tire special. The cost to fix up this bike is almost the cost he would have paid to buy it new. So I'm torn here.
I think I have three options:
Fork out the money on this bike (since it's pretty damn special)?
Fix up my old bike? (It breaks down often too, but always cheaper to fix)
Or invest in a brand new one (like an Electra!)?
Tough decisions … but I need to make one soon since my current bike is fairly unsafe.
Maybe I should keep my eye out for end of summer bike sales?!

Heyy, I've got the big sad too
Hello there! I am brand new to this site, but I've been struggling with depression for about 5 years. For most of it I have been kinda bottling up my emotions and pretending that I'm happy, but this past summer it all came crashing down and I had plans to kill myself. I ended up not doing it, but I have been having suicidal thoughts since. I just am kinda worthless to be honest, don't fully know why I got on here. I will say it is kinda nice to see I'm not alone with this shit. I don't have a great relationship with my parents and I have a sneaking suspicion my friends don't care about me, so I'm gonna assume that's why I'm here. So? I don't really know how this should work, but I'm super down to chat with anyone, I'm kinda ok at making people feel better because of some experience. Well, don't know if I'll ever come back here tbh. I could be dead tomorrow and it wouldn't surprise me. Cheers!
Re: Heyy, I've got the big sad too
Hello there. I'm brand new to this site too, decided to jump on here because I've been there too...hoping I can help. I struggled with depression for a long time, and I know how consuming it can feel. I know I don't know you personally but I can tell you that you're worth so much to this world around you...and you're on this planet for a reason. There are dozens of people around you who care about you. I lost someone I know to suicide about 6 years ago. I hadn't even interacted with him in about 15 years but I still think about it all the time to this day. That really stays with me...15 years later...I guarantee he never would have imagined that I'd be out there thinking about him after he did what he did...but I do. And you have dozens of people who would say the same thing 15 years or 50 years from now if anything happened to you. You just might not know it. Praying you find peace, friend.

Re: Heyy, I've got the big sad too
I truly hope you are doing better today and are still here. Your life is important and you are worth more then the lies you believe. Please know this. I totally get the self loathing....believe I lived like that for 25 years. It has been 10 years of freedom from the lies and thoughts that plagued me so there is hope! Continue the fight to healing. Praying for you -Rachel

Re: Heyy, I've got the big sad too
Hey, what's up? Haven't found anyone online right now, guess I'm at an odd time for the other time zones. Probably shouldn't be up this late but anxiety and a cat with nasal congestion make it kind of hard to sleep. I've got depression and Anxiety, i'm kind of young for it. I haven't seen another person as young as me on here, guess they're all out playing Fortnite or something. Ivy is not my real name, I just don't feel comfortable telling people who I am. I find that sometimes all it takes is a simple conversation with people who are suffering from the same thing to get your mind off things for a while. So, how are you doing? If there's anything I can do to help block out the darkness for even a moment, let me know. We dorks (not a negative word) with The big sad need to look out for each other.
And don't you dare die on me. k?

The proper use of bicycle helmets
Just in case anyone needed reminding, the proper use of bicycle helmets is to protect us from falling or flying bicycles. Thank you to Dan Piraro (a.k.a. Bizarro) for humorously clarifying that important public safety matter. Enjoy!

The overall chances of winning any prize are printed on the back of each PA Lottery Scratch-Off and vary by game.
Overall chances are calculated in this way: the total number of tickets in a game is divided by the total number of prizes in that game. It does not relate to tickets sold per-pack or per-roll.
The chances of winning are not influenced by where a ticket is sold. Scratch-Offs are distributed at random, meaning the Pennsylvania Lottery and its retailers do not know where winning tickets will be sold. We learn that only after a prize has been claimed.
As would be expected with random distribution, regions with larger numbers of players tend to have a proportionate ratio of players winning. This does not mean those regions are any "luckier" than other areas.
Prizes are also distributed randomly throughout each game. Here's an illustration of that concept:
Let's say there are 100 marbles in a bag. Twenty of them are red marbles and 80 of them are white marbles. The red marbles represent prizes. In order to calculate the chances of reaching in and getting a red marble, divide the total number of marbles (100) by the number of red marbles (20). Since 100 divided by 20 equals five, there is a 1-in-5 chance that blindly reaching into the bag of marbles will produce a red marble.
It's important to know that although the chances of getting a red marble are 1 in 5, it is possible to reach in and grab a big handful that contains no red marbles. It's also possible to reach in and get a handful that contains one or more red marbles. It's a matter of random chance – and that is part of the fun and excitement of Scratch-Offs.

We had the greatest time. It was beyond our wildest dreams fun!
Hyrum's mom, Zoie
Eleven-year-old Hyrum loves LEGOs. He first started playing with them while he was hospitalized and undergoing chemotherapy. Whenever Hyrum had to endure a long hospital stay or was put in isolation to minimize his risk of infection, his child life specialist would bring him a toy to play with, and he always requested a LEGO set. The LEGOs would keep him busy for hours and helped him make it through 148 weeks of chemo.
When he was first diagnosed with leukemia, Hyrum and his family decided they would wait to have his wish granted at the end of his treatment, thinking it would give him something to look forward to. They also wanted to make sure Hyrum's dad, who is in the military, would be able to be there for the wish – and to celebrate his son's incredible accomplishment of completing nearly three years' worth of treatment.
"During those 148 weeks, we had some hard times – some scary times," said Hyrum's mom, Zoie. "At those times, we tried to remember that even though this journey was hard, there were many blessings to come and one of those blessings was Make-A-Wish."
When the time came for Hyrum to choose a wish, of course LEGOs were top-of-mind. Hyrum wished to go to the LEGO Factory in Denmark, where the miniature bricks are made. When he learned that his wish would in fact be coming true, Hyrum was, "beyond excited" to meet the designers and get a behind-the-scenes view of everything that goes into making LEGO bricks during the LEGO Inside Tour.
The wish trip was a success: Hyrum even won an award for the Most Authentic LEGO Creation! The family came home with tons of LEGOs and, "Hyrum loved every minute of it," said Zoie. "He said that now he wants to grow up and be a LEGO Designer! Those designers on the Insider Tour must have made quite and impression... It was the best wish EVER."
Now that Hyrum's treatment is complete, Zoie says the family has entered a, "stage of feeling almost normal. He goes up to the hospital once a month for check-ups and that's it. His hair is back to normal. He looks really healthy. Sometimes we forget that he had cancer. It's a beautiful feeling."
Hyrum loved every minute of it. He said that now he wants to grow up and be a LEGO Designer! Those designers on the Insider Tour must have made quite and impression.

Travel Writing In The Era Of Social Media
In July, on the advice of a friend here in Austin, I submitted a panel idea for SXSW Interactive 2010.
The good people who review such things for SXSW informed me today that it's qualified for the final round in the decision making process.
The final round is up to you. Voting will commence Monday, August 17.
This is something I would very, very much like to do.
So, come Monday, get your clicks ready. Tell your friends. I will need all the votes I can get.
Fighting The Good Fight, No More
I've given up fighting the whole, "I refuse to Twitter thing." I created an account and will be doing so from here on out. It seems a pointless thing, for the most part and most of the time. That being said, I had a long conversation with a guy who runs an SEO/internet advertising shop here in Austin. His reasons for doing so–twittering–were compelling. The reasons he gave me for doing so, at the time, seemed to be as well. We'll see.
Austin culture is so extremely hyper-connected, but so disconnected from reality sometimes I have to laugh.
But I relent all the same.

Of those, four died after being shot in a "spray of gunfire by Moroccan security forces", the report said.The other two are believed to have died after blood loss from wounds, MAP said, without specifying what caused the wounds. The victims' names and nationalities are unknown, as they were not carrying identification. Transit point Migrants from sub-Saharan Africa frequently use this kingdom as a transit point while trying to reach two Spanish enclaves in North Africa, fleeing poverty and hoping to start a new life in Europe.Eleven people have died in recent weeks while trying to storm across the border. Morocco has been criticised fordeporting illegal immigrantsThe Interior Ministry said that some of the migrants who stormed the fence were armed with machetes or knives, requiring security forces to fire their weapons in "legitimate defence", the news agency reported. The ministry said, however, it "deplored the tragic turn of events and expressed deep regret at the loss of human life", MAP reported. Last week, a UN human-rights expert called for a transparent and independent investigation into the deaths. The use of firearms by border guards is only permitted under international law if it is for self-defence or to protect others from death or serious injury, noted Jorge Bustamante, a UN expert on migrants rights. Stranded After the shooting deaths, Morocco drew more criticism from human-rights groups for allegedly transporting hundreds of immigrants caught near Melilla to the Sahara desert and leaving them stranded there without food or water. Morocco has denied this. Now, the North African kingdom has begun a policy of sending would-be immigrants back to their country of origins by the planeload. SOURCE: Unspecified

- The Shell Chairs - all of them - were among the first to have comfort as a priority during the design process. Waterfall seat edges and a curvy seat pocket give this chair an easygoing sit.

Patent to Bayer in conflict with the law
by Redaktion (comments: 0)
The European Patent Office in Munich has recently granted a patent for the German company Bayer for breeding plants with a higher stress tolerance (EP1616013), No Patents on Seeds reports. The comprehensive patent will give Bayer monopoly control over important food crops including both genetic engineering in plants and the process for conventional breeding and plants derived thereof.
Patents on processes for conventional breeding, based on crossing and selection, are in conflict with Article 53b of the European Patent Convention. This was confirmed by the EPO in a precedent decision at the end of 2010. However, in claim 14 of the Bayer patent nothing else is patented than conventional plant breeding based on natural genetic conditions.
"This new patent for Bayer breaks the law. It conflicts in particular with the prohibition of patents on essentially biological processes for breeding. This case shows once more that European Patent Law needs to be revised in order to effectively prohibit patents on the breeding of plants and animals. Further, the EPO must be subjected to independent control. If these kind of patents are not stopped, resources for daily living will be sold out to companies such as Bayer and Monsanto", warns Christoph Then, a representative of the international coalition "No Patents on Seeds".

Daily Mail
October 5, 2011
U.S. scientists for the first time have used a cloning technique to get tailor-made embryonic stem cells to grow in unfertilised human egg cells, a landmark finding and a potential new flashpoint for opponents of stem cell research.
The researchers were trying to prove it is possible to use a cloning technology called somatic cell nuclear transfer, or SCNT, to make embryonic stem cells that match a patient's DNA.
The achievement, published today in the journal Nature, is significant because such patient-specific cells potentially can be transplanted to replace damaged cells in people with diabetes and other diseases without rejection by the immune system.
This technique could ignite new controversy because some opponents consider it to be cloning, which they fiercely oppose.

Call Sheets and Production Photos Call sheets from the first 7 Star Trek movies and production photos from Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home. I obtained these in 2001 from Philip Weyland...William Shatner's stand in for all 7 movies as well as TJ Hooker. These are given out daily to the cast and crew to let everyone know when to be on set and what scenes are being shot that day (as well as a heads up for upcoming days). You can also see when the actors have to be in makeup in order to make to the set in time. It is interesting to to note how the security changed throughout the years of these movies...closed set, ID Tags, etc...
Star Trek: The Motion Picture
Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan
Star Trek III: The Search for Spock
Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home
Star Trek V: The Final Frontier
Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country
Star Trek Generations See the note to remind the crew of daylight savings time :)
Productions Photos from Star Trek IV: The Voyage HomeUnfortunately some ink from a stamp on the back of the photos was transferred onto a few of them. However I still think these are great behind-the-scenes shots from one of my favorite movies. Please note these are Copyright 2001 Philip Weyland.

Most common skin diseases
Most common skin disorders include seborrheic skin conditions, infections, chronic inflammatory skin diseases and skin carcinoma. Some of these conditions are entirely benign, with symptoms which cause minimal discomfort, whereas others require long and persistent treatment and are potentially life-threatening.
Seborrheic dermatitis – Nearlyeveryperson has developed seborrheic dermatitis at some period of their life. This condition is characterized by oily, red and flaky skin with frequent itching. In babies, this condition most often presents as cradle cap, whereas in adults it presents as dandruff. Seborrheic dermatitis often appears on the face or chest, it is a chronic condition and is the most frequent reason for patients to visit dermatologists.
Seborrheic keratosis – Seborrheic keratosis refers to benign skin growths, ranging in color from light brown to black. Their number increases with age and longer sun exposure. They are an esthetic problem only and are completely benign, but can sometimes resemble skin cancer or a mole.
Impetigo – Impetigo is a bacterial skin infection and it is a common reason for seeing a dermatovenerologist. It is characterized by red ulcers, sores and scab formation. It is a highly contagious infection which spreads quickly and requires antibiotic treatment. More about impetigo read here.
Herpes simplex – Herpes simplex is a viral infection present in more than 70% of the population. It appears in bouts, when groups of blisters form, most often surrounding the mouth area. Once contracted, the virus is reactivated in situations of stress and weakened immunity and recurrences are common.
Warts – Skin warts caused by the human papilloma virus are most common on the hands and feet, but can also appear on other parts of the skin. Infections are common in children's communal areas, at pools, saunas and other public places. Warts can be transmitted by direct and indirect contact, and you can read more about them here.
Fungal skin infections – They are a very common infectious skin and nail disease. Fungal infections are more common among persons in contact with animals. They appear as red, circular, flaking spots. Fungal skin diseases are most often treated by antimycotic medication. They include athlete's foot, as the most common disease contracted by athletes and persons spending most of their time in sneakers.
Acne – More than 90% of the population has some sort of acne during puberty. In 20% of the population, acne persists in adult age as well, and requires some sort of dermatological treatment. Acne can be completely cured, but one year of persistent treatment is needed. You can read more about acne here.
Eczema – Skin eczema is a group of disorders characterized by red, inflamed, flaky and often itching skin. The use of aggressive baths and soaps, and other chemical products in daily life contributes to an increasing number of contact eczema cases. Atopic dermatitis is a common form of eczema with a prominent allergic component. It starts in early childhood, but the condition most often improves with age.
Rosacea – Rosacea usually first appears in middle-aged adults and it is characterized by redness on the cheeks and the forehead. It is a chronic disease and it requires continuous sun protection and adequate dermatological treatment. You can read more about rosacea and possible treatments in this article.
Skin cancer and actinic keratosis – There are around 5 million new cases of skin cancer reported in the US every year. The situation is similar in Europe. Basal cell carcinoma is the most common type, and it is also the least severe type of skin cancer which requires treatment. Squamous cell carcinoma is less common, but grows more quickly and requires urgent surgical removal. The least common type of carcinoma is melanoma, but it is life-threatening if not discovered and treated at an early stage. Actinic keratosis refers to reddish and brownish changes on the skin often damaged by chronic sun exposure. This is a pre-cancerous condition, but only a small percentage is likely to develop into squamous cell carcinoma if it is not treated.
Many different skin conditions can look alike. It is necessary to visit a dermatologist in case of noticeable changes on moles (changes in shape, edges or color) or in case of any other skin growth which is changing and growing, bleeding or itching.

The picture of the check here is my daughter's first pay check after umpiring 5 games. I had to take a picture and frame it. I am so proud of her and some of her softball friends. There were many days where they could have chosen to just go home on a Friday after school and vegetate in front of a computer or television, or on a Saturday where they could have slept in late but instead these kids chose to go work as an umpire.
Who says kids are having a hard time finding part-time work? In California area blessed with plenty of sun shine, if you have played softball or baseball for a few years, are 12 years or older and if you get trained to be an umpire then you are in demand.
Check out your league website and a few of them will be looking for umpires. I have to say it is not easy to be a kid and umpire games. Part of the reason there is a demand is some of the kids have been scared away by over enthusiastic parents who get caught up in the moment of a heated game and criticize the umpires. I am sure we all have been there at some point or seen some parents criticize the umpires at some point.
Then, there are kids who put too much pressure on themselves and start freaking out that they won't do a good job! I don't think they need any help from parents to spook them out anymore.
Some kids do not want to deal with it understandably. But it is also a teachable moment where parents and coaches can teach these pre-teens and teens how to deal with a tough situation and encourage them to do their job. I feel like a mommy bird encouraging the baby bird to learn to fly.
If you think your kids might be interested in umpiring softball, please check out Umpiring clinics that several leagues in the Bay area conduct in the beginning of the spring season. They will learn the rules of the game, will get an ASA softball rules book and uniform.
Do you have a young daughter or son who umpire? How has it gone for them? Do they like umpiring? Are they confident enough to umpire a game on their own? What scares them? Please share some of your kids experience both good and bad.
As always thank you for spending your precious time reading my blog. I appreciate it.

Leon Smith has signed a new three-year deal to lead Great Britain's Davis Cup team. The Scot assumed the role in 2010 and in November 2015 he led them to a first Davis Cup title in 79 years with victory over Belgium.
The new deal will see him remain as the Lawn Tennis Association's head of men's tennis. The announcement comes on the back of Great Britain's recent triumph over Japan at the Barclaycard Arena in Birmingham.
"It is a huge honour and privilege to continue captaining our Davis Cup team," he said after signing the new deal, according to ESPN. "We have achieved so much over the last six years and becoming world champions last year will be the highlight of my career."
Smith was appointed as the head of Britain's Davis Cup team when it was at a low ebb, having suffered the embarrassment of defeat to Lithuania. At the time, Britain were on the verge of relegation to the cup's bottom tier.
Subsequently, however, he has overseen a dramatic reversal in their fortunes, which culminated in winning the Davis Cup in November.

I am so excited to have finished a collection that I have been dreaming about doing for a long time. I guess that "dream" is a good word for this; perhaps that's what I will call it once the proofs have arrived and it goes up for sale.
My fraternal grandmother, who passed in the early 1960's, was quite the firecracker. Although I was only a young child when she passed, through memorabilia that was saved and passed down, I have gotten to know her quite well.
Elva married my grandfather in 1918 at the age of 16 and quit school. Together they operated a filling station for awhile then later on ran 3 successful restaurants (during the Depression no less). She went back and finished high school, was a member of the Business and Professional Women's Foundation for many years and enjoyed the new craze of flying. When the war broke out, her two sons (my dad and uncle) enlisted and she went back to school. Only this time, it was in Wichita Kansas at the Beech Aircraft Company.
But during her years as a mother and business owner, she dreamed of them one day building their own home. Her Dream Home. She clipped and saved many photos and articles from the magazines of the day. The box they are in is full of those magazines along with drawings and ideas jotted down here and there. They are the inspiration for this new collection.
Elva earned supervisor status and came to work here when the Douglas Plant was opened. Grandpa followed. And yes, together they built that dream home. She was outside painting that beloved home when she had her fatal heart attack.

text: A US convoy is believed to have been the target in Baquba Elsewhere, three soldiers serving in the US-led occupation force and two Iraqi security personnel have been killed in separate attacks across the country that have left dozens of troops, resistance fighters and civilians wounded. According to Aljazeera's correspondent, a roadside bomb detonated as a US convoy passed through Baquba, northeast of Baghdad, on Saturday. An Iraqi street hawker and a child were reportedly among the dea and five rubbish collectors were wounded in the blast. There were no reported casualties among the US troops. "The peddler was selling gas cylinders and the others were dustmen. As far as we know, a US convoy was the target but the bomb exploded before it arrived," said a police spokesman, first lieutenant Ali Husayn. Soldiers slain Meanwhile, two US soldiers were killed and three injured by a roadside bomb near the Iraqi city of Samarra, 100km north of Baghdad, a spokesman for the US Army First Infantry division said on Saturday. More than a dozen Polish soldiers have died in clashes in Iraq so farThe spokesman said the attack took place at 0555pm (1355 GMT) on Friday during a military patrol. He said the condition of the three wounded soldiers was unknown. And a Polish soldier was reported killed and six others wounded on Saturday in a car bomb attack near Hilla in southern Iraq. The parked car exploded as a 19-truck convoy under the protection of Polish troops was driving by, Colonel Artur Domanski, the spokesman for the occupation force under Polish command, said. He added that Polish soldiers shot and killed several attackers after the bombing, which occurred close to midday (0800 GMT). The latest attack takes to 14 the number of Poles killed in Iraq since the start of the US-led war - 10 soldiers and four civilians. Police targeted Meanwhile, a senior police officer was killed early on Saturday in the city of Ramadi, west of Baghdad. Col Saad Samir al-Dulaimi, head of the crime-fighting unit in the city, was shot and killed as he left home at about 0830am (0430 GMT), police captain Hasan Qadhim said. And an Iraqi soldier was killed when an explosive device detonated near an Iraqi National Guard checkpoint in al-Sukkar neighbourhood in the northern city of Mosul, sources told Aljazeera. Five others, including three civilians, were injured. A number of cars were also damaged in the explosion, the sources added. Kufa clashes For three hours overnight, US forces and militiamen clashed around a Kufa mosque and court house, just 10km east of Najaf, according to fighters loyal to Shia leader Muqtada al-Sadr. One person was killed in fightingaround a mosque in KufaOne person was killed and 12 others - militiamen and civilians - were wounded in the clashes, Dr Muhammad Abd al-Kadhim of Kufa hospital said. A huge hole was torn in the outer wall of the Maitham al-Tamam compound in the process. Part of the court building opposite was blackened and gutted by fire, with caked blood smeared on the windows, said an AFP correspondent. Militiaman Abu Muhammad al-Hilu said fighters had fired a rocket-propelled grenade at the court building, being used as a US post, and accused US forces of trying to storm the mosque. A US military spokeswoman had no immediate information about the incident. SOURCE: Aljazeera + Agencies

NEW YORK (CBSNewYork) — A New York City sanitation worker was hospitalized Sunday, after touching a live power line while working on cleanup efforts in Staten Island.
Mayor Michael Bloomberg confirmed at a Sunday afternoon news conference that Michael Lewery was on the job cleaning up debris at 215 Milton Ave. in the New Dorp Beach section of Staten Island, when he touched the live downed power line.
Lewery, a 13-year Sanitation Department veteran, was taken to Staten Island University Hospital, DNAInfo.com reported. He was reported in stable condition.
SILive reported that Lewery's injuries were not considered life-threatening. He had already lost his home to Sandy, the publication reported.
DNAInfo reported residents had seen the downed wire earlier, and one neighbor told the publication he put his refrigerator down in front of his house to keep people away from it.
Neighbors screamed for someone to call 911 upon seeing Lewery injured at the scene, while another neighbor covered him with blankets, DNAInfo reported.

- ING New York City Marathon Sylvia, you can combine crossfit with your marathon training, but the more crossfit/less running you do, the more likely you are to compromise your marathon potential. If your goal is to finish, then you should be OK. If your running goals are higher, we recommend you focus on your running for the 3 months before the race.

NYC Marathon training program chat
Today the NYC Marathon had its coaches Stuart and John in for a Facebook lunch chat to answer any questions about their online training program. It would be applicable to all marathon runners, not just those joining me this November for the NYC event. Thought I would repost the whole comments area from that post here, in case any of it is useful to my fellow runners. Hard to follow but perhaps useful.

It shouldn't be a surprise that Ohio is pioneering promising programs to help some of our most vulnerable citizens avoid drug addiction.
Necessity being the mother of invention surely has something to do with it: Ohio's opioid epidemic is among the nation's worst, with overdose-death tolls continuing to climb from 12 a day in 2016 to 14 a day in 2017. Overdose deaths nationally climbed from 175 to 186 per day in that period, meaning Ohio's share rose from 6.9 percent to 7.5 percent.
It is worth noting that both programs emphasize the importance of helping youngsters learn to identify and rely on trusted adults who can help them make and keep healthy decisions and avoid drug abuse. Those who can play that role are encouraged to do so — and maybe help finally turn the tide against the very real opioid monster.
One prevention initiative operating in New Albany is seen as an innovative new national model and another being piloted in Belpre along the Ohio River has attracted national media attention for its creative approach.
The New Albany program — Stop to Live — is offered by Life Town Columbus in the Lori Schottenstein Chabad Center. It was developed in partnership with Columbus City Schools and is offered to special-needs children from across Ohio. Creators and advocates for its expansion believe it is a first-of-its-kind program and one that is desperately needed.
Stop to Live recognizes that children with mental and physical disabilities are at higher risk of experiencing depression and trauma that can lead them to overreliance on prescription drugs and ultimately opioids.
Advocates have praised the program's approach to intervene with an often-forgotten population in the fight against opioid addiction. Those touting its potential include directors of the Ohio Department of Mental Health & Addiction Services and the Franklin County boards of Developmental Disabilities and Alcohol, Drug and Mental Health.
Stop to Live teaches six lessons through one-on-one activities, working to build self-esteem and empower disabled children to make healthy choices. Researchers from Ohio State University will study the program's effectiveness as plans are made to expand it beyond Ohio.
In the southeastern Ohio community of Belpre, an elementary school is testing the Health and Opioid Prevention Education program, aptly called HOPE. It was developed by a Wright State University health and physical education professor leading a team of educators funded with a grant from the Ohio Department of Higher Education.
HOPE offers 20-minute lessons that classroom teachers can easily incorporate as appropriate for their elementary classes. It has attracted coverage from the Washington Post for its method of targeting early education as a route to prevent opioid and other drug abuse later in life.
As with Stop to Live, HOPE tackles topics of medication awareness and making healthy choices in age- and ability-appropriate ways that children — whether challenged by disabilities or not — can comprehend.
HOPE is especially needed because a 2014 state law required schools to teach students about the dangers of prescription medications leading to opiate abuse and heroin addiction but left it to local districts to figure out how to comply. Understandably, most schools didn't have a ready way to respond, said HOPE's developer, professor Kevin Lorson.
Enough trusted adults can give future generations hope for healthy lives.

Panty Creamer Of The Day: A Wet, Topless And Stach'd Milo Ventimiglia
Because Mondays are grosser than that mocos tissue your frugal abuelita used until no clean spots were available (What? Just mine?), here's some wet man nipples to make it a little less grosser.
Ellen DeGeneres called in sick to her show and so the producers pulled out a list of possible substitutes. Every single person, animal, plant and inanimate object on that list must've been busy, because they settled for Miley Cyrus. I mean, Billy Ray Cyrus' half-eaten Taco Party Pack would've made a better host. But Miley's episode wasn't that awful and that's solely because of the wet nipples belonging to Milo Ventimigilia. (Fun fact: Ventimiglia is Italian for "large Starbucks cup of man hotness.")
Milo has already said that he doesn't mind that millions of eyeballs have scooped up a piece of bare nalgas, so of course he didn't mind taking his top off for the sake of charity on
Ellen Miley. Starting at the 3:43 mark, Milo and Miley (which sounds like the name of the most annoying kid's show on the Disney Channel) play that game where he gets half-naked and sits in a splash tank while she tries to get him wet with pink balls. Ellen gets a celebrity dude half-naked every year to raise money for breast cancer research.
And I think the cherry on top of this panty creaming sundae (Why did I write that?) is the stache that Milo's been working for a minute, because it makes him look like the star of an early-80s porn parody of Magnum P.I. called Magnum P.I. (Penis Investigator).

Six Economic Initiatives the White House Will Push in Its Next Budget
White House economist Jason Furman on Tuesday said the U.S. economy could be in a period of slower potential growth, a development that puts greater urgency on longer-run investments.
Gains in worker productivity have eased since the recession began compared with the technology-driven improvement of the prior two decades. Without new policies, the country could face slow productivity growth similar to that recorded in the 1970s and '80s, said Mr. Furman, chairman of the White House Council of Economic Advisers.

Ah, PCS time. What a thrill. Especially when you're PCSing for only 11 months and trying to rent your house. Most renters, understandably, don't want to sign a one-year lease. I can relate to that. Who wants to just get settled in and then be told to get out?
This PCS is, so far, more trying than all the others. This is the first duty station where we've owned a home, which means that this is the first time we've had to deal with potential renters traipsing through our house at all hours of the day and night. It's also the first time that we've had to deal with potential renters ignoring "renter etiquette."
We recently had a number of lighting projects completed. You see, for whatever odd reason, new homes in this area, minus the foyer, bathrooms and kitchen, simply don't come with overhead lighting. Apparently it's never occurred to builders around here that families might actually like to see their room, and all of its surroundings. Heaven forbid the woman of the house wants to pluck her eyebrows while sitting on her bed, or read on the sofa without 20 lamps beaming inadequate light in all the wrong directions. Who knew when you purchased a home in these parts that you would have to carve out money for a "lamp budget?"
Our lighting project began. Recessed lighting was installed in the kitchen and living room. Overhead lighting was installed in the family room and bedrooms, and some pendant lights were installed over the bar in the kitchen. It's a messy job. The ceiling looked like swiss cheese with all the holes that were cut to wire the lighting. Then there's the mud and sanding that has to happen in order to patch the holes. No matter what measures were taken to protect the floors and surfaces, a white, filmy residue blanketed the entire house.
So, there I was. My house was swarming with contractors, dust flying, various ceilings torn apart, wires sticking out of every nook and cranny, Lowe's and Home Depot bags piled high on the dining room table and kitchen counters, Max going crazy with all the chaos, things had been moved to the bedrooms in order to get them out of the line of fire and the house was in the worst shape it's been in since we moved in. I'm on the main level and I hear my husband shout,
Yes, I heard you.
Then I hear an unfamiliar voice, "He says you're going to kill him."
I stop dead in my tracks and try to figure out who this mysterious voice belongs to.
Why would he say that? I shout back.
Then I hear, "they want to see the house."
"He's right," I shout. "I am going to kill him."
Three people emerge up the stairs. Two faces I've never seen, and one face I sleep with each night. That face is usually quite handsome, but right now - not so much.
I crack a forced smile and make a mental note to deal with the usually-handsome face later.
Oh, um, well, it's really the worst possible time to see the house (although the next day I would have to retract that statement). We have a lot of work going on and it's a mess, but we'll be happy to show it to you anyway.
I begin explaining that underneath the white film, there really are lovely hardwood floors and that, despite the fact that you couldn't see the dining room table, there really is one and yes, we do have kitchen counter-tops. When we begin moving to the bedrooms I explain that these items generally belong downstairs and not in the bedroom and that yes, of course, our bedrooms are usually clutter-free. On and on go the explanations. I'm sure I overdid it.
Even when my house isn't on the market, it's always tidy. So, I think to myself, of all the days.....I also think to myself, "there's a phone number on the rental sign for a reason. People should write it down, call and make an appointment to see the house." It's proper etiquette.
But, noooooooooooooooooo.
The lighting project spans to a second day. On the second day, potential renters continue to ignore rental etiquette, this time with embarrassing results.
I hear a knock on the door thinking that it might be yet another contractor coming to help. l answer the door and a very nice British man says,
*British accent on.* "Hi, I know it's a wee bit cheesy to knock on your door, but I have my wife and son in the car (I look at the car and the wife waves at me) and we'd love to see your house." *British accent off.*
If I say no, he thinks I have something to hide (and it turned out I did, I just didn't know the extent of it) and if I say yes, my potential renters are treated to a tour of a home in distress. I say, "sure, come on in, but I have to warn you...."
As we make our way through the house, I give the same speech as I had the day before, but when we arrived at the master bathroom, I was, for once, speechless. You see, my husband decided to tackle a few plumbing projects in the master bathroom. The first thing we saw was the plunger standing right in the entrance as if it were the greeting committee. Next, I see my feminine products and toilet paper, which had been removed from another cabinet, strewn across the vanity. And when I say my feminine products, I mean all of them! To add insult to injury, there was my toilet, off the hinges and bolts with the plumbing exposed. Now, for anyone who has never seen such a sight, let me just remind you of the old saying about sausage, "nobody wants to see how sausage is made." Well, you don't ever want to see how plumbing really works, or see what the underside of a toilet looks like when torn apart for the first time in six years. Trust me. Ugh... What is it with me and toilets?
There was nothing I could say, I wanted to flush myself down the exposed plumbing and call it a day. I only wanted these people out of my house, but more importantly, out of my bathroom - stat! To add to my horror, the woman lingered in the bathroom stepping over plungers, tools and toilets to get a good look at the shower. Then she turned her attention to the tub.
Is that a jacuzzi tub?
"No." I quickly said, "only a soaking tub."
The lovely British couple had morphed into a pair of demons who wouldn't leave my bathroom. It's just not right when a stranger could now shop for my feminine products.
Again I think to myself, "you know, a phone call would have been nice."
I'm not that easily embarrassed, but my bathroom was, shall we say, not in peak form.
Unbelievably, the couple made an offer on the spot, though it was $100 less than what we're asking. Even so, and trust me on this one, if you're renting or selling your home, and, for whatever reason, your girlie things are exposed, never open the door.....
Whatever happened to renter etiquette?
