Move over Michael Phelps.
Usain Bolt, the happy-go-lucky world champion runner who couldn't help giving his rivals a mid-race grin as he sprinted toward the finish line ahead of the pack during the 100-meter dash semifinals Sunday night, is the latest stuff of memes.
One Twitter user imagined the Jamaican track superstar saying, "Had you shook with that slow start, didn't I?" Another said it illustrated the feeling "when you write a provocative tweet and then sign off."
Ellen DeGeneres tweeted a photo of herself being piggy-backed by Bolt with the caption: "This is how I'm running errands from now on. #Rio2016"
Bolt went on to win gold in the 100-meter for the third straight time in the Olympics on Sunday. He competes in the 200-meter event beginning Tuesday.
It's the latest meme to join the ranks of #PhelpsFace, born of the epic swimmer's game face in Rio, and, from London 2012, McKayla Maroney not being impressed.

Nokia has had an uneventful first half in 2010. For those who are looking out for new devices from the Finnish outfit, you should be expecting up to four new devices in the coming months. This includes the Nokia C3, an entry level device that runs on the Symbian S40 platform, and the mid-range Nokia C6, utilizing the Symbian S60 version 5 touchscreen platform. Hold off till the third quarter of 2010, and you'll get your hands on the new Nokia E5 or maybe, the 12-megapixel, 720p video-recording capable flagship model, the Nokia N8 and its Symbian^3 OS.
For now, here's a quick hands-on experience of the first three mentioned devices, starting with the Nokia C3. Though positioned as an entry level model with basic 2.5G and Wi-Fi connectivity, this S40 device doesn't pass off as an inexpensive product. The QWERTY-based phone (a first for the S40 platform, according to Nokia) comes with a glossy sheen and a curved design that gives it a more sophisticated look than it should. On screen, the C3's interface will look somewhat similar to the S60's layout. What sets the C3 apart is the use of the Nokia Communities app, which will aggregate your Facebook and Twitter feeds together.
The Nokia C3 will be available by Q2 2010, tagged at a pricing of 180 euros (excluding local taxes and subsidies).
Next up, the Nokia C6. Bearing a strong resemblance to the Nokia N97 and N97 mini, the C6 also comes with a slide-out QWERTY keyboard. Not much has changed in form factor, though Nokia has mentioned that with the C6, the S60 version 5 interface gets some slight upgrades. This includes multiple pages for you to park the widgets within. Similar to the C3, the C6 keeps its focus on social networking. Nokia Communities is also available on the C6, though a widget built in the fashion of the Facebook widget will be coming soon on the S60 version 5 platform.
The Nokia C6 is also available by Q2 2010, priced at 220 euros before subsidy and local taxes.
The last of today's lineup introduction is the Nokia E5. As mentioned, the E5 won't be the direct successor to the Nokia E72. As such, it acts as a 'buffer device' till first quarter of 2011 when the actual successor will be revealed. But that's not to say that the E5 doesn't have its selling points. Bundled with a lifetime license for Nokia Messaging (also available on its earlier E-series device), the E5 will also be equipped with Microsoft Communicator Mobile. We'll leave a brief introduction of this new application in the following page.
The Nokia E5 is slated for a Q3 2010 release, at 180 euros before taxes and subsidy.

That's one sick freak, eh?
Man claims cow seduced him for sexBy QMI Agency
An 18-year-old Indonesian man says he was seduced by a cow, and that's why he was having sex with it.
A neighbour caught Gusti Ngurah Alit allegedly wooing the farm animal on Sunday, the village chief on the resort island of Bali said, the Times newspaper in Johannesburg, South Africa reported Friday.
"He was caught by one of the residents standing naked while holding the back of the cow," village chief Embang Ida Bagus Legawa said in the newspaper.
Alit said he didn't see an animal, he saw a beautiful young woman.
"She called my name and seduced me, so I had sex with her," the man told the newspaper.
Alit underwent a cleansing ritual. The village chief gave the owner of the cow the equivalent of $562.
The cow was reportedly drowned in the sea to rid the village of bad luck.

These leaflets and signs have been around for years, generally not around the area I live in, but enough that I would see them and chuckle a little bit sometimes. I was aware of the following in certain areas, as I've been to pharmacies near campus where I've actually seen 'Luck Oil' on display (the things I'll do for antihistamines) and I'm very aware of the following that traditional healers have around here.
Recently they seem to have… exploded. There are people handing them out at robots (traffic lights), they've been appearing in my letter-box (we live in the Northern Suburbs, not somewhere we thought there would be much of a following for miracle oils - although if they can make you win the lottery, you never know…), in the newspaper, stuck to lamp-posts…
So as any good scientists would do, we started collecting them, giggling over them, sighing over the way that they seem to be targeting groups of people who would have to save for the R100 consultation fee and then further to buy the magic oil/stick/love remote (really). From there we began to compare the grammatical errors, testimonials (Rosie van Wyk from Morningside – who has recently moved to Witbank – and Andre Mpho from Kathlehong share a cellphone number…, making sure than none of the "Healer of the Year awards coincided, as well as followng the blossoming careers of some of our favourite healers (Prof. Lumumba is doing particularly well, with almost ten different leaflets and four healer-of-the-year awards!).
We've collected well over a hundred (my very precise estimate from glancing over at the pile) over the last few months, from as far afield as Nelspruit and Polokwane and I felt that I must share these gems with you (click to enlarge I think):
you have to wonder what he means by "some conditions applied"… note the matching phone numbers too – they didn't even put them on separate leaflets!
So are you disappointed in your living life? And I know I totally identify with problem 14. Although I wonder about the 'chronicle diseases'
Ah, Professor Sir Apollo… my personal favourite, and one of the first leaflets we collected! Plus he's one of the top 10 in the world; SCORE!
This guy is a close second for awesome name-ness, although I worry about the stress of keeping a marriage AND an affair together…
One of many Mamas…Another 'Mama'! Anyone got any idea why there is a picture of a hand there? High five?
These guys went to Harvard! The Harvard University of Witchcraft… in the U.S.A! And they can give you Great Success in Life Forever
Prof Dungu gets bonus points for the lion pictures AND the pixellated Africa background! Plus he can remove bad luck to good luck!
I do not even want to know about the Love Remote, K? But he does have a picture of a lion too, which has to count in his favour. Not to mention the Sex Low Drive.
There are others, but I try to keep this child-friendly(ish). Seriously, there is even a small selection with visual aids…
Have a great weekend!

The illegal, un-constitutional, not Congress approved war against Libya, has cost us the equivalent to well over FIVE THOUSAND F-150 trucks in just two days!
Not only our principled Tea Party / Freedom Movement Representatives, but also the elite/bank Representatives on both sides of the isle of US Congress, admit that the federal government is broke and admit that we must curtail federal expenses soon or we will have a final financial catastrophe in our hands.
Yet, on the first few days of this new war they have managed to blow-up the equivalent of at least five thousand eight hundred forty four (5844) F-150's. 1 – 2
- 4461 worth of Ford F-150's in Tomahawk missiles in two days! 1 – 2
- 1348 Ford F-150's in a downed F-15 jet!
Yes, the undeclared Libyan war has cost us the equivalent of about six thousand F-150 trucks in just a few days. But wait… it gets much, much worse. According to the Congressional Research Service the USA, that is you and I, are spending about 14 thousand million dollars a month waging war in Iraq and Afghanistan. Take a moment to mull that figure and what it means; 14 thousand million dollars a month.
Lets figure what that figure means in real terms:
- 14,000,000,000.00 / 22,415.00 = 624,581 F-150's a month!
- 624,581 * 12 months = 7,494,972 Ford F-150's a year!
You read that right; the Iraq and Afghanistan wars, not counting the new Libyan war, are costing you and I the equivalent to over SEVEN MILLION F-150 trucks a year. Feel free to pause again, and think what that means.
What happens to a country that is willing to destroy, blow up, burn, waste, the equivalent to seven million brand new trucks a year waging war?
Many claim that the federal government is inefficient. They are wrong; the federal government, in just two of our wars, destroys over seven million trucks a year.
That is:
- 20,534 trucks a day.
- 855 trucks an hour.
That is the power of the federal government; the power to destroy.
Perhaps numbers like these are what are fueling the people to join the Tea Party and Freedom Movement.
The good news:
- The Freedom Movement Representatives at the federal level are rallying against these un-constitutional wars, and even some regular ones are joining them.
- The Tenth Amendment / Nullify movement is achieving great results in their drive to educate our State representatives on The Tenth Amendment; it explicitly states the principle of federalism: powers not granted to the federal government nor prohibited to the states by the Constitution are reserved to the states or the people."
- The Freedom Movement / Tea Party's ideas of Liberty and Constitutionalism are spreading rapidly among all sectors of the American public.
The Tea Party philosophy is neither left nor right, it is Constitutionalist at its core. The Tea Party / Freedom Movement has galvanized American from all over the political spectrum to ask: "Where in the Constitution is the authority to do this?"
President Obama has started the Libyan war without Congressional authorization. That makes it an illegal and un-constitutional war.
- Article I, Section 8 of the Constitution places the power to declare war on the US Congress and the US Congress only.
- Article II, Section 2 assigns the president as the "commander-in-chief of the army and navy of the United States." Nothing else. Note above that the power to declare war is given to US Congress alone, while the president is only given the title of "commander-in-chief".
If we are to obey the Constitution; no president, not Republican nor Democrat or from any other party can go to war without Congressional authorization. Period.
- The 9th and 10th amendments to the constitution authorize the federal government to exercise the powers given to it in the Constitution; not an ounce more. The 9th and 10th amendments assures that all other powers remain with us, the people and the States.
In case the government claims that we have abandoned our rights:
We declare: That while the government may have absconded lawful Constitutional governance, "We the People' have not abandoned our birth given, Constitutionally guaranteed rights.
Here we are, the Tea Party, the Freedom Movement, Americans from all backgrounds and party affiliations, we demand that the Constitution be obeyed. We demand that those powers not explicitly given to the federal government remain with 'We the People', and with our 50 Sovereign States, just as the 9th and 10th amendment explicitly provide.
We are not asking the 9 federal attorneys sitting at the Supreme Court to restore those rights to us. They have tortured the words in the Constitution into meaningless 'interpretations' and have favored the federal government that appointed them, over the people and the States.
As Jefferson said in 1798:
"whensoever …the federal government …assumes un-delegated powers, …nullification of the act is the rightful remedy."
The people of the 50 Sovereign States in America are now electing State Representatives who are seeking to nullify un-Constitutional federal expansion of power.
The Freedom Movement / Tea party is supporting many candidates at the state level who are making State's rights their main issue. Candidates like Republican Phil Moffett who is running for his party's nomination for the Governor race.
Tea Party / Freedom Movement Representative from Texas on Fox News Talking about Libyan illegal war:
Judge Napolitano on the Glenn Beck show on Fox News interviewing Tom Woods, author of 'Hamilton's Curse' and Kevin Gutzman, author of 'Who Killed the Constitution?' together they explain nullification pretty well:
There is no question that the president has overstepped his power by starting an undeclared war. Here is Joe Biden explaining how the president doesn't have the authority to start war, and how war without congressional authorization should warrant impeachment:
In conclusion:
- The president is not even bothering to have Congress declare wars anymore.
- The president has started a war with Libya illegally.
- The Cost of just the Iraq and the Afghanistan wars is the equivalent to destroying 855 F-150 trucks an hour.
- The Freedom Movement and the Representatives of 'We the People' are fed up and reclaiming their birth rights as enshrined in the Constitution.
- The 9 federally appointed attorneys at the Supreme Court have provided no lawful relief.
- The Tea Party / Freedom Movement is using the 9th and 10th amendment rights to bring power back to "We the People' and the several States.
- Spending and destroying the equivalent to 855 f-150 trucks an hour in two ongoing wars and starting a new, illegal war is a clear display of a federal government and presidency out of control!
- We are non- partisan and include people from all political affiliations.
'We the People' declare:
That while the government may have absconded lawful Constitutional governance, "We the People' have not abandoned our birth given, Constitutionally guaranteed rights.
Here we are, the Tea Party, the Freedom Movement, Americans from all backgrounds and party affiliations, we demand that the Constitution be obeyed. We demand that those powers not explicitly given to the federal government remain with 'We the People', and with our 50 Sovereign States, just as the 9th and 10th amendment explicitly provide.

Egypt has been rocked by protests that some say are the largest in history and has unseated its second leader in three years. It's a bit difficult for us to imagine ousting a president in such a way—so what do the events in Egypt mean to Americans?
The Obama Administration has bungled the entire Egyptian revolution, Heritage experts say, and that will have lasting consequences.
President Obama backed the administration of Mohamed Morsi, a member of the Muslim Brotherhood, who was just ousted by the protesters and the military. As Heritage expert James Phillips noted, "Egyptian protesters have been carrying signs denouncing President Obama for supporting terrorism, because they are disappointed by Obama's uncritical support for Morsi, whom they consider to be a terrorist."
Heritage Distinguished Fellow Kim Holmes says there are two reasons why Obama has gone wrong in Egypt:
The first is he sincerely believes that too much American influence is a bad thing. Believing deeply that American power is a problem, he seems to think remaining aloof will prove that America is not an inveterate enemy of political Islam.
… The other reason? Obama is confused about what constitutes democracy. Even though he himself said democracy is "more than elections," that is not the way he's acted. He watched as the election process chose the worst of the political lot in Egypt, all the while claiming that the U.S. should not "interfere" with the democratic rights of the people. He talked a good game, but his passivity only legitimized the claims that the Brotherhood is a "true" democratic force in Egypt (which they decidedly are not).
>>> 4 Steps the U.S. Should Take to Address the Egypt Crisis
The "Arab Spring" is a messy thing. Democracy is a goal, yes, but Egyptians desperately need economic freedom. As Heritage's Charlotte Florance explains:
Egyptians need to see results, which they have been waiting for since 2011, when the army ousted Mubarak. The events of the Arab Spring in Egypt were triggered by legitimate economic grievances that, two years later, remain unanswered.
To bring back their economy, the Egyptian people will need a stable rule of law. The military has control of the country now, but it will have to hold elections soon to establish a government. Meanwhile, the U.S. is waiting—or should be waiting—to see how it goes before promising further aid to the country.

Some eye diseases can be genetic. Early detection is vital, so it's good to have an idea of your family's health history. There are several eye conditions that can run in the family, some of which are more likely to occur than others.
Three of the most common problems are explained below.
Age Related macular-degeneration (AMD)
Age-related macular degeneration mostly affects people when they reach their 60s.
AMD impacts your ability to see objects clearly and sharply.
There is not cure for AMD but there are treatment options to help manage the condition. The sooner it is diagnosed, the better the outcome, so if you have a history of the disease in your family, make sure you visit your eye care practitioner.
Glaucoma occurs when fluid pressure build up in the eye.
Symptoms include cloudy vision and sensitivity to light. If left untreated, glaucoma can deteriorate and lead to 'tunnel vision', which is like looking through a long tube and is irreversible. Treatments for glaucoma include eye drops and laser treatment.
Cataracts are cloudy areas that develop on the lens of the eye, leading to blurred or hazy vision.
Some babies are born with cataracts, which can worsen with age. In many countries, babies have their eyes checked at birth. If you are concerned about your baby's vision, speak to eye care practitioner.

2 Weeks Post Op
My first week at home had me out of sorts. I imagine the anesthesia stayed in my system for a while, as well as the pain meds I was taking in the hospital. Steve stayed home on Wednesday, went back to work on Thursday and then went to a pool tournament for the weekend. I wasn't on meds anymore so was able to drive Troy about. Just getting dressed and running one errand wore me out. I would be back home on the couch within minutes. I was able to begin walking without pain, just a bit of dizziness. My first week home I was walking 1-2 miles outdoors each day which seemed like a huge victory.
Week two went much smoother. I wasn't so tired all of the time and spent less time in bed or on the couch. I used Netflix and watched an array of movies: The Expendables, Time Travelers Wife, Hangover, WallStreet (II), Salt, The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo; I finished a few books: Let Me In (spooky freaky), Winter Garden (so sad) and decided to read again one of my absolute favorite series (as well as Tyler's and Troy's) Terry Goodkind's Sword Series. I love it. I'm reading the first one now and can't put it down. There are like 12 books in the series and each book is 1000 pages long. Fabulous. It's been a few years since I last read the series.
Last week I was able to walk up to 5 miles each day. My surgeon stated "no exercise for 6 weeks but you can walk as much as you want to" "walking isn't exercise, not even like 10 miles?" "no, not really" Interesting hu? The media has us believe that walking 30 minutes a day can reduce fat, risk of heart disease, increase cardiovascular health but really, it doesn't make much of a change in a person. It is a great stepping stone to better health but in of itself, not so much. I don't think they (government? health industry? media?) believe that the average joe or jane will try to change their lifestyle if they are told they need to elevate their heart rate to 80% of max in order to reap benefit. That might be too uncomfortable and too far out of the comfort zone to contemplate. OK, off my soap box.
So I am walking 6 miles this week. Topaz probably runs about 10 because he is running up in front of me, herding me, having a great time.
Today it is -18F in Big Lake with a -34F wind chill. I actually placed hand warmers into my mittens and wore 3 layers top and bottom. Topaz sported heavy booties. Brrr!
My routine this past week is not too exciting. I have breakfast with Troy, drive him to school, go for a walk, read..facebook.. (too much) .. movie.. nap..walk to the bus stop to meet Troy .. at least I'm fixing dinner now .. go for another walk .. Biggest Loser or American Idol .. bed time ..
Last Sunday I ventured out for the first time other than a quick drop off. It was fabulous. I had lunch with my awesome friends at CRAVE at the Galleria. We were celebrating Tom's 30 year anniversary of sobriety. It was interesting to note that the majority of us are ultra runners and sober. It felt so very good to get out to see great friends, great conversation and a great meal. I had 101 questions to ask John and Jason as they had just returned from running the Arrowhead 135.(Click on the Arrowhead Link and watch the video. It is of the bikers - this race allows bike, ski and foot - and the scenery, the people, outstanding. But why not any runners in video? Oh well..) John won it again, finishing in 40 some hours and secured an entry to the Iditarod Trail Invitational 350 awesome video here, too. Wow. I was seated near Jason so I asked him 101 questions and told him that he could tell me at any time to stop asking. He never did. So I asked away..and learned a lot.
After I left Edina I picked up Troy from church and returned home to make dinner for the Superbowl half time. Troy had requested Giada's Twice Baked Potatoes. As I was prepping dinner I realized I wasn't exhausted. I had been up and about most of the day and felt very good. What a great turn of events.
So as I enter this third week of post op I am feeling very grateful for my uneventful recovery. My strength is returning, I am healing, I am not as tired as I was in the previous days.
Next Saturday I am speaking to the Minneapolis Junior League relating to healthy lifestyle/inspiration and motivation. The next few days will have me running my presentation through my mind, making less time for movies. That is a good thing!
There is bad news, however. Yesterday Mom learned that her ovarian cancer has spread to her lungs and liver. We are devastated. Her CA 125 had been on the increase and her latest scan revealed the bad news. However, she responded greatly to the chemo 6 years and again 3 years ago. We are very hopeful that she will again respond in the same manner. Today Mom has her first chemo treatment. We are praying that the chemo will be as effective as it has been in the past.

Sorry to hear about your mother. Metastasized cancer is nasty; hope you got your toughness from her!
I'm so happy for you that you are recovering well, and sad for you about your mom! I will keep you in my thoughts.
- Karolina , Krystyna , Klara ♥ said...
Very cool! Looks like fun!!
Sending prayers for your mom. She is in my thoughts.
So sorry about your mom. It is a great sign that she has responded well to treatment in the past.
On walking, I disagree that it does you no good. I know several people who have lost large amounts of weight (well, 40-60 pounds) walking. They went from basically sitting and driving to moving their body and it makes a difference.

Hi Julie,
I'm glad your surgery went well and that you are on the road to recovery. I am so sorry about your mother. I will be thinking about you and your family.
- Julie B said...
Thank you so much for the thoughts and prayers. I appreciate it very much.
Anon, I'm glad your friends have been successful with weight loss and walking. I began walking, too, to lose weight and become healthy in the beginning. I don't know how much the walking or diet changed my body. After about a year my weight loss stalled, that was when I began to run for additional weight loss.

A parathyroid biopsy is the removal of a small piece of a parathyroid gland for examination under a microscope. The parathyroid glands are found just behind the thyroid gland on each side of the neck.
Biopsy - parathyroid
There are two parathyroid glands on either side of the neck, making a total of four glands. The parathyroid glands cannot be felt with the hands.
A parathyroid biopsy is done while you are awake.
The tissue is sent to a laboratory, where it is examined under a microscope. The levels of parathyroid hormone (PTH) in your blood will also be checked.
Tell your health care provider if you have any drug allergies or bleeding problems, or if you are pregnant.
Make sure the health care provider knows about all the medications you are taking, including any herbs or supplements. Tell your health care provider if you are taking any blood thinning medications (aspirin, heparin, Lovenox, warfarin), because you may have to stop taking them a few days before the procedure.
You must sign a consent form.
The test feels like a quick needle jab or stick. You may feel a sting as the needle is inserted into the gland. Most people do not need any pain medication.
The parathyroid glands release parathyroid hormone (PTH). This hormone controls the level of calcium in the body.
This procedure is most often done to rule out cancer as a cause of high parathyroid hormone levels.
It may also be done if an ultrasound exam shows a larger-than-normal parathyroid gland.
There is no swelling, hormone levels appear normal, and cells from the tissue sample are normal.
The test confirms that a parathyroid gland is enlarged if hormone levels are too high, or cells from the sample are abnormal. Abnormal PTH levels may also be due to hypercalcemia.
Abnormal results may be due to:
The main risks of the procedure are bruising and bleeding into or around the thyroid gland. If bleeding is severe, it may put pressure over the windpipe (trachea). This complication is rare.
In rare cases, some people may develop temporary hoarseness when the nerve that runs close to the parathyroid glands is injured.
You can return to normal activities the same day.

Former Bolingbrook police sergeant Drew Peterson does not know why a lie detector test indicated he was deceptive on questions relating to the disappearance of his fourth wife, he told CBS News' Maggie Rodriguez Monday.
Former Bolingbrook police sergeant Drew Peterson does not know why a lie detector test indicated he was deceptive on questions relating to the disappearance of his fourth wife, he told CBS News' Maggie Rodriguez Monday.
Peterson took two lie detector tests at the request of author Derek Armstrong in preparation for Armstrong's book, "Drew Peterson Exposed," due out Wednesday.
Peterson and his attorney, Joel Brodsky, appeared on the Early Show Monday to respond to the results of the lie detector tests, which indicated his answers to three questions were deceptive.
When asked, "On Sunday October 28, 2007, did you last see your wife Stacy in your home before going to bed after coming home from work," Peterson answered "yes."
When asked if he knew where his wife was, he answered "no," and when asked if Stacy called him the night of her disappearance to tell him she was leaving him, he answered "yes."
Peterson failed the test on all three of those answers.
"I answered the questions truthfully and why it showed up deceptively, I have no idea," he said.
The tests included a battery of other questions regarding Stacy Peterson's disappearance and the March 2004 drowning of Drew Peterson's third wife, Kathleen Savio, whose death was recently reclassified as a homicide.
Police have named Peterson a suspect in his wife's disappearance, which police are calling a "potential homicide." Although police have not named a suspect in Savio's death, scrutiny immediately fell on Peterson when investigators learned of their contentious divorce. At the time of Savio's death, the couple's marriage had already been dissolved but were about to finalize their financial settlement, which Savio stood to gain from substantially.
Peterson has denied any involvement and has not been charged with a crime in either case. Other questions administered during the polygraph seem to back up many of Peterson's claims, Brodsky said. Peterson's answers to whether he was involved in removing Stacy from their home, whether he harmed her when she disappeared, and whether Stacy called to tell him her car was at a nearby airport the night she disappeared, all came up as true on the polygraph.
"I don't find (polygraphs) to be reliable," Brodsky said, adding that they are not admissible as evidence in court. "But if you like polygraphs, the one thing the polygraphs confirm is that Drew had nothing to do with either Kathleen's death or did no harm to Stacy."

NASHVILLE, Tenn. – In the midst of a five-game road swing, the Tigers look to regroup Friday when they pay a visit to Murray State.
Tennessee State (9-13, 5-6) comes into tomorrow's matchup following a loss to Western Division power Austin Peay on Tuesday. In the match, freshman Arijana Anderson shinned, with an 11 kill performance, all while hitting .320 from the floor. Anderson also picked up a career high two blocks on the defensive side of the court.
The Tigers take on another Western Division foe in Murray State (13-11, 3-7) Friday at 7 p.m. in the Bluegrass State. Murray State is coming off of a 3-0 sweep of SIU Edwardsville on Saturday. Freshman outside hitter Scottie Ingram lead the Racers in kills with 11 and hit a game high .474.
Prior to last weekend's match, the Racers had lost four consecutive OVC contests including back-to-back losses to Western Division leader Eastern Illinois.
Junior Naomi Wells continues to lead the way for the Tigers on the offensive end with 285 kills this year, averaging 3.65 kills per set. Wells' performances last week against Tennessee Tech and Jacksonville State earned the Huntsville, Ala. native OVC Co-Offensive Player of the Week. The honor was the second of the year for Wells.
As a team TSU ranks sixth in the OVC with 12.79 kills per set in conference matches. The conference attack is aided by Wells (3.39 kills per set) and Anderson (3.31 kills per set), who rank fourth and seventh respectively.
Wells has also exceled digging up opponents' attack and has posted nine double-doubles this season.
Tennessee State's offense is directed by senior Erika Moss, who currently ranks third in the conference with 10.14 assists per game. The Fort Wayne, Ind. native has shined on the defensive end as well posting nine double-doubles, using the assists-digs combination.
Friday's opposition is the second best attacking team in the conference with an average of 13.11 kills per set. Sophomore Alyssa Lelm leads the charge for the Racers with 3.21 kills per set, the seventh best mark in the OVC. Sophomore setter Sam Bedard is the catalyst of the Racers' potent attack averaging 9.84 helpers a game.
Last season, TSU downed Murray State 3-1 in Nashville. Wells posted 16 kills and 15 digs picking up a double-double in the match. The Huntsville, Ala. native's impressive performance was highlighted by her .464 hitting percentage on the night.
For the Racers it was, then freshman, Emily Schmahl leading the way with eight kills and three digs in the loss.

Crisis in the Trauma Center
The trauma center at Queen's saves hundreds of lives every year. What happens if it closes?
(page 1 of 2)
Most of us expect that, if we get seriously hurt, we'll be taken care of. Listen to the news enough, and you notice that most victims in major car crashes are either "rushed to Queen's" or "medevacced to Queen's." Last year alone, The Queen's Medical Center received about 45,000 people in its emergency room, 1,500 of whom were trauma patients—those who suffered life-threatening injuries due to collisions, falls or violence.
These are people like Irma May Baptiste. In 1998, she was driving through an intersection in Kaneohe when another driver ran a red light at 80 miles per hour, broadsiding her car.
Emergency technicians pulled Baptiste from the wreck and transported her to Queen's trauma center. Baptiste's back was broken in three places, one of her hips in two. One of her kidneys had to be removed. Her liver had to be stitched back together. In the process, Baptiste needed eight blood transfusions.
"I was in a coma for five days, and my mom was told that I might not make it," says Baptiste, now 28. But she did. After a month-long hospital stay and a year of intense physical therapy, Baptiste fully recovered. "If it weren't for Queen's trauma center," Baptiste says, "my accident could have been devastating."
As the leading trauma center in the state, Queen's treats practically all of Hawaii's major trauma patients, including many transferred from other hospitals on Oahu and the Neighbor Islands. But for all its importance to the people of Hawaii, Queen's is facing an alarming shortage of doctors in its trauma center. For financial and personal reasons, fewer and fewer physicians are willing to take emergency patients, crippling the hospital's ability to care for critically injured patients in the Islands.
As the only trauma center in Hawaii certified by the American College of Surgeons, Queen's must have surgeons, an anesthesiologist and various medical staff in-house 24 hours a day, as well as keep doctors in at least 15 other specialties on call at all times, ready to respond at a moment's notice.
With each passing year, Queen's is having a tougher time providing that safety net. Neurosurgeons, for example, perform one of the most crucial aspects of trauma care, but there are only four neurosurgeons at Queen's willing to take emergency calls—down from eight just a few years ago.
"The four neurosurgeons, including myself, take calls five days a month, more or less, but that means there are some days when there are no neurosurgeons on call," says chief of neurosurgery Michon Morita. "There were five days in January when there was no neurosurgeon on call. There was one day in February. Up until the past six months, that hadn't happened in 10 years."
What does that mean for patients who arrive in the ER in need of neurosurgery? They have to wait. That can mean crucial minutes lost when a patient needs immediate attention. And it isn't just neurosurgeons in short supply. Queen's Trauma Center struggles to find specialists such as gastroenterologists and anesthesiologists to respond to emergencies.
"The ER doctor will start calling neurosurgeons around town, and we'll eventually find one," Morita says. "But it's uncomfortable to not have someone on call who has already cleared his schedule and promised to be available."
Where have all the doctors gone? Many have been chased out by the higher cost of practicing medicine in the state, thanks to ever-increasing medical liability insurance premiums. These days, more doctors prefer to avoid emergency cases, in which the chances of lawsuits are higher.
"Hawaii is heading toward a crisis," says former Hawaii health director Dr. Jack Lewin, who now serves as CEO and executive vice president of the California Medical Association. "The first places that high insurance premiums affect are emergency and on-call services. It's those doctors who take the riskiest cases that have the highest malpractice premiums."
Medical Insurance Exchange of California (MIEC), the largest of only three medical liability insurers in the state, raised its rates an average of 17.4 percent last year and an average of 26.2 percent the year prior, according to the state insurance commission. Another insurer, The Doctors Company, increased premiums an average of 26.9 percent last year and an average of 28 percent in 2003.

Review by Nice
Hello to all the Readers Here,
Let me introduce myself to you as this is my first time here. I am Nice and a mom of two boys, a 5 year old and a 5 month old. That pretty much sums up who I am at present. My life these days revolve around my sons and when I find a breather, this is what I do as this is a real stress buster for me. Let's move onto the review now. I am here to review an overnight cream, Garnier Light Overnight peeling fairness cream. This was an impulse buy for me when I was in search of an overnight cream. Garnier products have not fared very well with me. Read on to find out how this one fared….
|Garnier Light Overnight Peeling Fairness Cream Review
Shelf life 36 months from the packed date
Availability Almost all online shopping sites and in beauty stores
What Garnier says
Why do I need Garnier light overnight peeling fairness cream?
1. Away from external aggression, night is the ideal time to reinforce whitening action. Light overnight cream has special natural micro peeling fruit extracts that help peel away dark cells and lighten the skin while you sleep.
2. Your day cream should be designed for the harsh outdoors. during the day use Light Daily Moisturiser SPF 15, which provides protection from UVA & UVB rays, and helps prevent appearance of dark spots.
How does it work?
1. Peels off dullness overnight thanks to an intensive exfoliation action to help remove dark cells.
2. Whitens the skin to reduce dark spots and further skin darkening.
3. Its melting texture moisturize and nourishes your skin overnight, leaving it smooth with a satin finish.
4. Melanin production is reduced (the pigment responsible for darkening and dark spot production).
A unique night cream with an innovative micro-peeling action. Throughout the day harmful sun's rays, dust and pollution produce dark cells on your skin. Peel them away while you sleep with Garnier Light Night dual formula.
Visible efficacy:
1. In the morning, your skin is fresh and fairer.
2. Skin looks fairer in 28 days, dark spots reduce.
How to apply?
1. Apply every night on perfectly cleansed skin.
2. Gently massage into the skin using light circular movements, moving from the center of your face outwards, and away from the base of your neck to the top.
Do not apply to the delicate eye contour area or on irritated skin.

well onto the skin and takes a while to completely seep into the skin.
What is my opinion about the product?
I am happy with this cream as all I was looking for was a decently priced overnight nourishing cream which this one lives up to pretty decently. And due to its texture a little goes a long way……
I like it because
♦ It is decently priced
♦ A little goes a long way
♦ It has an amazing fresh and citrus smell
♦ It has a smooth texture
♦ The early morning face is glowing and smooth
♦ It works on dark spots to an extent
I dislike it because
♦ The texture is a little oily and needs some massaging into the skin
♦ It broke me out initially
♦ Upon stopping the usage the face goes back to square one….
My final verdict and will I repurchase it
Now, if you are on the lookout for a decently priced overnight nourishing cream, then this could be it. It works pretty decently but don't expect miraculous changes to the face. Continuous usage might give the desired benefits!!
I think I will repurchase this one again as I was pleased with the results.
I would give a rating of 4/5.

I am more of a Skincare haircare enthusiast than a makeup one with the exception of lipsticks.
So, what do you have to sat about this cream….
Hope this review was useful. Until next time….stay happy

Meet Our Students: Armando Tejada
A monthly series to help you get to know the students of NLU, where they've come from and the things they've experienced on the journey toward their degree.
Senior originally from Lima, Peru
Pursuing B.A. in Business Administration
What brought you to NLU?
I graduated from Berkmar High School on May 28, 2011, in Atlanta, Georgia. On May 31 my family moved to Chicago. I was not certain which school I would attend since I did not qualify for financial aid. It was through a friend that I found out about the Harrison Fellows Scholarship at NLU. I was able to receive some help on the amount of money I had to pay as well as transfer 63 quarter hours from AP classes I had taken during high school. Those credits helped me get ahead and able to focus on more core business classes. I am very happy to have moved to Chicago because there are so many opportunities in this great city.
What are you currently studying?
I am majoring in business administration. I am learning how to manage and lead a successful business. I believe that getting an education is an essential part of life, not just to take classes but to also learn from the people who have a different outlook on life. I have come to notice that networking and having a goal-oriented mindset are key ingredients to building a successful life. I believe that I am learning to know myself better as I progress in my NLU career.
How have you grown in your time here?
I think that I have grown personally and spiritually while in NLU. I am thankful that I came to NLU because of the people that I was able to network with. I think that every challenge brings an opportunity with it, something that I believe I have been able to do ever since I arrived to Chicago. I have gained a great deal of experience in the public relations field through the guidance of Alejandra Moran at Si Communications, who I met because of an event organized by [NLU Student Success Coach] Monica Ramos through her own connections. I am excited about the new things that this year will bring. I have also learned to be accommodating but never complacent. There is always something that one can do to improve oneself.
What do you hope to do after college and how is NLU preparing you for that?
I will start my own Peruvian restaurant when I finish my bachelors degree at NLU. I think that thanks to the people I have met through NLU and the classes that I have taken I will be more comfortable opening my business. I think that it is of great importance to get educated and better oneself in order to make this country a better place for all.
What have you liked most about your experience at NLU so far?
I think that the networking opportunities that I have had at NLU have been what I liked the most. I really enjoy interacting with people, and I think that if those opportunities are taken seriously, there is an unlimited amount of opportunity to take advantage of.
If you know of an NLU student at any level - bachelor's, master's, doctoral - who has an inspiring story to tell, nominate them for our monthly series by emailing Susan Barnett, Director of Communications, at firstname.lastname@example.com.

Seadwelling tribe claims sea as ancestral domain
SITANGKAI, TAWITAWISowang Pukul, which literally means broken river, has no river at all. It is in the middle of the Sulu Sea and not an island in sight.
Atiyan Gollom told
Inside Mindanao
that Sowang Pukul used to be the home of the Bajau tribe, also known as Sama Dilaut. Houses of the Bajau called
, from afar, are like floating houses. Long wooden posts buried deep into the sandy sea-bottom keep the
Through the years, Mr. Gollom, one of the handful Bajau who choose to remain at Sowang Pukul, said that about 300 Bajau families have already left Sowang Pukul and opted to migrate to Semporna, Sabah, Malaysia (which can be reached via 3hour motorized boat ride); while others opted to settle at the nearby island which can be reached by 20minute motorized boat ride. Sowang Pukul is part of Sitangkai town, TawiTawi province.
Sabtal Putalhangin, a Bajau teacher at the Mindanao State University High School in Sitangkai town, told
Inside Mindanao
that the influx of evacuees, belonging to the Tausug tribe from the neighboring province of Sulu, is one of the causes of the Bajau displacement at Sowang Pukul.
Mr. Putalhangin said, "The Bajau tribe is a peaceloving tribe. Conflict with other tribes like that of the Tausug is often dealt with by fleeing to other places." READ MORE >>>
From the forest to the sea: The need to protect Mt. Hamiguitan, Pujada Bay and Cape San Agustin
SAN ISIDRO, DAVAO ORIENTALScientists recently found an unknown aquatic plant specie at Mt. Hamiguitan, a mountain which straddles on two municipalities, San Isidro and Governor Generoso, and the city of Mati; all in the province of Davao Oriental.
In an expedition conducted in July 2008 to Mt. Hamiguitan, Dr. Thomas Gronemeyer, biochemist; Stewart McPherson, geologist; and Volker Heinrich, agricultural scientist reported that the finding of a so far unknown aquatic plant specie of bladderwort (genus Utricularia) promotes the assumption that "more species of either carnivorous plants, orchids, or even mammals can be found in unexplored areas of the Hamiguitan massive."
The scientists also reported that two species of carnivorous pitcher plants, N. peltata and N. spec H, seem to be endemic to Mt. Hamiguitan.
"The fact that two... species (N. peltata and N. spec H) seem to be endemic to Mt. Hamiguitan underlines the importance of the protection of the whole area," the scientists said in their report. READ MORE >>>
Lake Mainit and the people thriving around it
Kitcharao, Agusan del Norte People who are unfamiliar with Lake Mainit call the rising of the lake water the drowning of thousands of farmlands around the lake during the months of November to March as flooding. Farmers around Lake Mainit, meanwhile, call this rising of lake water as guob the normal rising of the lake water.
This rising of lake water coincides with the heavy rainfall in Lake Mainit and surrounding areas from November to March.
Just along the lakeshore of Lake Mainit in the village of Crossing, Kitcharao, Eusebio Narada has a half hectare rice field. Narada, a member of Lapucon Farmers Organization, said in the dialect, "The farmers here follow the lake water."
He said the lake water starts to rise in the month of November. In the month of April, he said, the lake water starts to recede. With his farmland just beside the lake, Narada said he is always the last one to plant rice normally in the month of May when the lake water is fully out of the way. And as rice has a lifespan of three months, Narada said he can only plant rice twice a year.
Like Narada, thousands of other farmers around Lake Mainit rely on this seasonal fluctuation of the water level in the lake. READ MORE >>>

MWC 15 Special
Just in case you thought that we already have enough location based services like Foursquare, Facebook Places or Gowalla, which allows you to virtually check-in to real sites, no - Google hadn't had one - until today! Because Google has just announced that it has enriched Google Latitude with the release of Google Maps Mobile 5.1 for Android, which now allows users to also connect the current location to a real place by checking in there using Latitude. While Latitude can still be used to automatically update and share locations with friends, check-ins let you add context to the location - like captions to a photo. Latitude is built right into Google Maps for Android so check-ins work across Latitude and Maps seamlessly.
Because Latitude can automatically detect a user's location, Google added a few twists to checking in to make it really easy:
And, surprise, surprise, you can also check in at a favorite place to earn special status there; you'll see if you've become a "Regular", a "VIP" or a "Guru" on its Place page.
Google said that it even thought carefully about how to make checking in to places quick and easy while giving users control over the privacy. Just like when sharing a location with Latitude, checking in is 100% opt-in, and users can choose to share any check-in with friends on Latitude, publicly on the web and the Google profile.
However, it's (yet?) not possible to add locations, but users can only check in to locations which are provided by Google.
Google Latitude with check-in requires the latest Google Maps Mobile version which is now available from the Android Market and supports any Android version 1.6 or higher. At the moment, Apple iPhone Latitude app users will only see see friends' check-ins but Google we'll update the app soon. Yet not supported are HP Palm's webOS and Microsoft's Windows Mobile/Windows Phone 7.Cheers ~ Arne

Police: 3 dead, 4 wounded in Wisconsin spa shooting
BROOKFIELD, Wis. -- A man police suspected of killing three and wounding four by opening fire at a tranquil day spa was found dead Sunday afternoon following a six-hour manhunt that locked down a shopping center, country club and hospital in suburban Milwaukee.
Authorities said they believed the shooting was related to a domestic dispute. The man they identified as the suspect, Radcliffe Franklin Haughton, 45, of Brown Deer, had a restraining order against him.
Christine Bannister, a dispatch supervisor for Waukesha County communications center, said Haughton, 45, of Brown Deer, had been found dead. She could not provide more details.
The shooting happened about 11 a.m. at the Azana Day Spa, a two-story, 9,000-square-foot building across from a major shopping mall in Brookfield, a middle-to-upper class community west of Milwaukee. Hours later, a bomb squad descended on the building, and Police Chief Dan Tushaus said an improvised explosive device had been found inside.
The mall, a country club adjacent to the spa, a nearby hospital and other buildings were locked down as police searched for Haughton.
Shortly before authorities said Haughton's body had been found, his father, Radcliffe Haughton, Sr., told The Associated Press and a television station in telephone interviews from Florida that he had last spoken to his son a few days ago, but didn't have any indication anything was wrong.
He said then that he had a message for his son: "Please just turn yourself in or contact me."
Tushaus said officers initially focused on reaching and helping the victims. The victim's names were not released by authorities, and a hospital treating the victims also was put on lockdown. Staff members were being escorted into the building, and critically injured patients were being accepted with a police escort. Officers were stationed at all main entrances to the facility.
A sea of ambulances and police vehicles collected at the scene shortly after the shooting. A witness, David Gosh of nearby West Allis, told the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel he was returning from duck hunting with his father and a friend when he saw a woman emerge from the spa, screaming, as she ran into traffic. The area is near an interstate and a busy commercial road.
"She ran right out into the street was pounding on cars," Gosh told the newspaper. He said that moments later, a man with a handgun ran out, and appeared to be chasing her, then went back inside.
People inside the mall were patiently awaiting updates, and for word they could leave. Gina Kralik, a bartender at Red Robin Gourmet Burgers in the mall, said by telephone that the restaurant was still locked down as of about 3 p.m. She said 18 people were there -- all employees except for a couple reporters who managed to get in. She said people were allowed to leave at one point, but then the police decided not to let anyone come or go from the mall.
"We're just sitting watching the news and also trying to find out what's going on," she said.
Police released little about Haughton other than a physical description and a photo. They said he was wearing a grey sweater, jeans, and carrying a white and black backpack. They said he was 6-foot-2, and more than 200 pounds.
Online court records showed a temporary restraining order was issued against Haughton in Milwaukee County Circuit Court on Oct. 8 because of a domestic abuse complaint. Haughton appeared in court Thursday, when a no-contact order was issued and he was told to turn all his weapons over to the sheriff's department.
It was not clear who sought the restraining order, but his father said he was married.
It was the second mass shooting in Wisconsin this year. Wade Michael Page, a 40-year-old Army veteran and white supremacist, killed six people and injured three others before fatally shooting himself Aug. 5 at a Sikh temple south of Milwaukee.
The shooting at the mall took place less than a mile from where seven people were killed and four wounded on March 12, 2005, when a gunman opened fire at a Living Church of God service held at a hotel.

A mother of two, Carellin Brooks also holds a graduate degree from Oxford, teaches at the University of British Columbia, and has published books that include a history of Wreck Beach, a study about the phallic woman in psychiatric case studies and fiction, and (coming soon) 100 Days of Rain, a book of short pieces that chronicle the aftermath of a same-sex romantic relationship gone horribly wrong. Meanwhile, with her latest, Fresh hell, Brooks targets motherhood (and its myths) with an insightful but enjoyably fresh mixture of candour, provocation, and, well, diaper-centric bits of bawdy comedy.
Q Tell me a bit about your book.
A It's a book of days, or book of weeks actually — there are 52 pieces in all — of a mother's first year. The frustration she experiences, the seeming perversity of a baby's lack of foresight and apparent wish to do itself permanent harm, other peoples' cluelessness. But mostly the frustration. Hopefully with some humour.
Q What inspired you to transform the raw experiences of a year of mothering into book form?
A I was going crazy, basically. I mean, I knew it was going to be difficult: I live alone. I wasn't stupid. I had a lot of help with my older child, and it still wasn't easy, so I knew. But when your experience just isn't reflected out there in the world, and in fact the world is pretty hostile to your needs and your baby's needs, it can feel like you're all by yourself out there. So in some senses I was writing just to validate myself on a basic level, like: this is actually happening. This is what's happening, day by day and moment by moment.
Q Motherhood in Pieces is a curious subtitle. How does your book reflect the idea?
A It was an attempt to play with both the form and the sense that you're falling to pieces. As well as the idea that you can't have a coherent thought when you're looking after a baby, because you're constantly being interrupted.
Q What might a new or prospective mother learn from the experiences you reveal in Fresh hell?
A You think you're going kind of insane, because the reality of what you experience is so much completely the opposite of life without kids. You can't leave the house without making elaborate arrangements. Your personal freedom becomes virtually nil: even if you're partnered and have the option, you have to make these complicated diplomatic moves to bargain for time away from the home. This book hopefully normalizes that and says no, you're not crazy, the world is. I remember before I had kids reading about moms' experiences. The big one seemed to be: I didn't have time to take a shower. And I'm thinking, well, there are 14 hours in the day, and it's only one baby. That's like 10 minutes, tops. You really can't get 10 minutes? It just didn't make sense to me, until I had a baby myself, how you could not have time for basic self-care. And then there were women saying things like that at the end of the day they noticed they had puke on them. Dried puke. I just didn't get it how you could walk around all day with puke on your clothes and not notice. Now I get it, because I have to remind myself to look in the mirror. For years I always had someone yowling or banging on the other side of the door, so I didn't take those few seconds. There's a part of the book where I describe a grooming quiz for moms, and it's choose one: brush your teeth, choose outfit rather than grabbing at random, apply lipstick. You only get one of those.
Q Now that your daughters are no longer toddlers, can we look forward a followup volume?
A I'm sure my daughters are sick of me writing about them. Then again, there's plenty of material in them there tweens, so never say never.
Fresh hell: Motherhood in Pieces is launching Oct. 30, 6 to 8 p.m., at the Heartwood Cafe (the former Rhizome) at 317 East Broadway. There will be snacks, drinks, books, and dinner for sale. Tots are welcome.Brett Josef Grubisc teaches at the University of British Columbia. His only dependents are houseplants.
