YUMA, Ariz. (AP) ? Suspected smugglers who tried to use ramps to drive an SUV over a 14-foot-tall border fence had to abandon their plan when the Jeep became stuck on top of the barrier, authorities said Wednesday.

Agents patrolling the U.S.-Mexico border near the Imperial Sand Dunes in California's southeast corner spotted the Jeep Cherokee teetering atop the fence early Tuesday, Border Patrol spokesman Spencer Tippets said. The vehicle was perched about five miles west of the Colorado River and the Arizona state line.

Two smugglers on the Mexican side of the border were trying to free the Jeep when the agents approached, Tippets said. They ran further into Mexico and escaped.

The Jeep was empty, but agents said it was probably filled with contraband like bales of marijuana before it got high-centered atop the fence.

The smugglers had built ramps to drive up and over the fence, something that has been tried at least once before. In April 2011, agents found a truck that had ramps built onto it and had driven up to the border fence. A pickup had driven up and over the fence, but it was spotted and its occupants were captured, Tippets said.

The agency's Yuma sector has seen a 95 percent reduction in human smuggling in recent years, freeing up agents to focus on drug smugglers.

"Because of how successful we are we don't have all the clutter like we had in years past," Tippets said. "Now that all the clutter is gone, we're able to focus on things that are bigger threats."

The terrain in western Arizona and eastern California has little vegetation and is much less rugged than the land in southeastern Arizona, so smugglers have a harder time making it into the U.S. without being spotted.

MIAMI (AP) ? Because of a printing error, somewhere around 27,000 absentee ballots already cast by voters are being painstakingly copied by hand in Palm Beach County to make sure they can be read by a scanning machine. Otherwise, thousands of people could be disenfranchised in the Florida county that was ground zero in the 2000 presidential recount.

Printing errors have caused problems on thousands of absentee ballots around the country, from Cleveland to Daytona Beach, Fla., to Kalamazoo, Mich. While in most cases corrected ballots are simply mailed as replacements, in some places it was too late to catch mistaken ballots before voters returned them.

Not to worry, said Palm Beach County Supervisor of Elections Susan Bucher.

"It's not rocket science. We duplicate ballots all the time," Bucher said. "It's a real simple procedure. But this year it's a presidential year and I do understand the cause for concern."

President Barack Obama and Republican challenger Mitt Romney are scrambling for every single vote in Florida, Ohio and other battleground states, giving heightened scrutiny to any potential problem that could leave even a handful of votes uncounted. In Florida, the 537-vote margin that tipped the scales to George W. Bush in 2000 is seared into memory.

The rise in popularity of mail-in absentee voting around the country also increases the risk of mistakes, lost votes and even fraud, according to election experts and researchers. A recent study by the Caltech-MIT Voting Technology Project of California absentee votes over two decades found that they are twice as prone not to be counted as votes cast on more modern voting machines.

The study estimated that in 2008 as many as 21 percent of absentee ballots requested nationwide never made it back to elections officials to be counted. Although that number may be inflated and could include people who simply decided not to vote absentee after all, study co-author Charles Stewart III of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology said it still raises a red flag.

"We have possibly gotten way ahead of ourselves in encouraging people to vote by mail," said Stewart, a political science professor. "It's pretty clear that the improvement we've gotten by having better voting machines in the precincts may be given back by having more and more people voting at home."

Barely 5 percent of the total vote nationwide 40 years ago, mail-in absentee voting accounted for 16 percent of ballots in the 2008 election and is forecast to easily surpass that level this year. Many states have removed requirements that voters give a reason for voting absentee, such as a foreign business trip or military service. Oregon and Washington now conduct entirely mail-in elections.

Much of the national debate on voter access this year has focused on such issues as whether a picture ID should be required at a polling place or whether ineligible people are improperly registered. But many experts say the chances for problems in the mail-in absentee system are much greater. For example:

?An elections supervisor might not receive or might misplace a request for an absentee ballot.

?Conflicts might arise between the voter's identity and what is on registration records.

?Ballots can get lost in the mail.

?A voter's signature might not match the one that elections officials have on record or the voter might simply forget to sign the ballot, both of which render it invalid.

?Errors in counting the absentee votes could be made at the elections office.

Then there's the issue of fraud. Paul Gronke, a Reed College political science professor and director of the Oregon school's Early Voting Center, called that problem "minuscule as a proportion of total ballots cast and even absentee ballots cast."

"The rejected ballots are overwhelmingly due to voter error ? usually bad signatures or unsigned envelopes," Gronke said in an email.

There have been some scattered instances of absentee fraud this year.

The Houston-based election monitoring organization True the Vote said its research into absentee ballots in New York, Florida, Ohio and Rhode Island uncovered 99 suspected instances of voters casting ballots in two states in the same election. The group says it may have found an additional 800 fraudulent voters.

But when the names of 36 such voters were turned over recently to Florida authorities, ultimately only two appeared to warrant further investigation for fraud, said a spokesman for Secretary of State Ken Detzner.

In Ohio, a grand jury in Franklin County recently indicted three people on charges of voting twice by absentee ballots in past elections. Two were charged for votes cast in the 2010 general election and one for votes in the 2008 primary, prosecutors said.

Another concern is paid ballot brokers who supposedly "assist" the elderly or disabled in filling out absentee ballots. Recently, in the Miami suburb of Hialeah, two brokers have been charged with voter fraud for allegedly filling out ballots for elderly people in assisted living facilities.

Yet when a local canvassing board examined 195 ballots collected by the brokers, only four were rejected for such things as questionable signatures.

Barbara Arnwine, president and executive director of the Lawyers' Committee for Civil Rights Under Law, said the group's election monitoring hotline has received calls from around the country from voters who say people came to their front doors with purported absentee ballots for them to fill out. The visitors would then promise to "file" the ballots on the voter's behalf, she said.

"Of course, that's not correct," Arnwine said. "We have to keep watching."

Stewart, the MIT professor, said the greater risks in absentee ballots are errors and lost ballots rather than fraud. But harried voters don't seem to want to turn back, he said.

"The genie may be out of the bottle," Stewart said. "We've settled for convenience at the cost of accuracy and making sure that every vote counts."

Video game with biofeedback teaches children to curb their anger

ScienceDaily (Oct. 24, 2012) ? Children with serious anger problems can be helped by a simple video game that hones their ability to regulate their emotions, finds a pilot study at Boston Children's Hospital. Results were published online October 24 in the journal Adolescent Psychiatry.

Noticing that children with anger control problems are often uninterested in psychotherapy, but very eager to play video games, Jason Kahn, PhD, and Joseph Gonzalez-Heydrich, MD, at Boston Children's Hospital developed "RAGE Control" to motivate children to practice emotional control skills that they can later use in challenging life situations.

The fast-paced game involves shooting at enemy spaceships while avoiding shooting at friendly ones. As children play, a monitor on one finger tracks their heart rate and displays it on the computer screen. When heart rate goes above a certain level, players lose their ability to shoot at the enemy spaceships. To improve their game, they must learn to keep calm.

"The connections between the brain's executive control centers and emotional centers are weak in people with severe anger problems," explains Gonzalez-Heydrich, chief of Psychopharmacology at Boston Children's and senior investigator on the study. "However, to succeed at RAGE Control, players have to learn to use these centers at the same time to score points."

The study, led by first author Peter Ducharme, MSW, a clinical social worker at Boston Children's, compared two groups of 9- to 17-year-old children admitted to the hospital's Psychiatry Inpatient Service who had high levels of anger. To qualify for the study, the children had to have a normal IQ and not need a medication change during the five-day study period.

One group, with 19 children, received standard treatments for anger including cognitive-behavioral therapy, presentation of relaxation techniques and social skills training for five consecutive business days. The second group, with 18 children, got these same treatments, but spent the last 15 minutes of their psychotherapy session playing RAGE Control.

After five sessions, the video gamers were significantly better at keeping their heart rate down. They showed clinically significant decreases in anger scores on the State Trait Anger Expression Inventory-Child and Adolescent (STAXI-CA), and specifically on:

• the intensity of anger at a particular time
• the frequency of angry feelings over time
• expression of anger towards others or objects.

The gamers also had a decrease in suppressed, internalized anger that reached marginal statistical significance. In contrast, the standard-treatment group showed no significant change from baseline on any of the above measures.

The video gamers gave their therapy experience high marks for helpfulness (5 to 6 on a scale of 7). "Kids reported feeling better control of their emotions when encountering day to day frustrations on the unit," says Ducharme. "While this was a pilot study, and we weren't able to follow the kids after they were discharged, we think the game will help them control their emotions in other environments."

More studies in progress

The investigators are now conducting a randomized, controlled clinical trial of RAGE Control in the outpatient clinic at Boston Children's that adds a cooperative component. The children team up with a parent for 10 game sessions at the clinic; if either the parent's or the child's heart rate goes up, neither of them can shoot, forcing them to help calm each other. (Click here for more information.)

The research team plans another clinical trial to test whether letting children take RAGE Control home, to play with parents and siblings, will increase its effect.

In addition, Kahn is spearheading a team effort to develop toys to enhance emotional regulation skills in children too young for RAGE Control. These toys include racing cars that stop if a child gets too excited and, for even younger children, a cooperative game where children try to help each other stack blocks (if heart rate goes up, the table becomes wobbly and the blocks topple).

Stem cell therapies for multiple sclerosis, other myelin disorders expected soon

ScienceDaily (Oct. 25, 2012) ? When the era of regenerative medicine dawned more than three decades ago, the potential to replenish populations of cells destroyed by disease was seen by many as the next medical revolution. However, what followed turned out not to be a sprint to the clinic, but rather a long tedious slog carried out in labs across the globe required to master the complexity of stem cells and then pair their capabilities and attributes with specific diseases.

In a review article appearing October 25 in the journal Science, University of Rochester Medical Center scientists Steve Goldman, M.D., Ph.D., Maiken Nedergaard, Ph.D., and Martha Windrem, Ph.D., contend that researchers are now on the threshold of human application of stem cell therapies for a class of neurological diseases known as myelin disorders -- a long list of diseases that include conditions such as multiple sclerosis, white matter stroke, cerebral palsy, certain dementias, and rare but fatal childhood disorders called pediatric leukodystrophies.

"Stem cell biology has progressed in many ways over the last decade, and many potential opportunities for clinical translation have arisen," said Goldman. "In particular, for diseases of the central nervous system, which have proven difficult to treat because of the brain's great cellular complexity, we postulated that the simplest cell types might provide us the best opportunities for cell therapy."

The common factor in myelin disorders is a cell called the oligodendrocyte. These cells arise, or are created, by another cell found in the central nervous system called the glial progenitor cell. Both oligodendrocytes and their "sister cells" -- called astrocytes -- share this same parent and serve critical support functions in the central nervous systems.

Oligodendrocytes produce myelin, a fatty substance that insulates the fibrous connections between nerve cells that are responsible for transmitting signals throughout the body. When myelin-producing cells are lost or damaged in conditions such as multiple sclerosis and spinal cord injury, signals traveling between nerves are weakened or even lost. Astrocytes also play an essential role in the brain. Long overlooked and underappreciated, it is now understood that astrocytes are critical to the health and signaling function of oligodendrocytes as well as neurons.

Glial progenitor cells and their offspring represent a promising target for stem cell therapies, because -- unlike other cells in the central nervous system -- they are relatively homogeneous and more readily manipulated and transplanted. In the case of oligodendrocytes, multiple animal studies have shown that, once transplanted, these cells will disperse and begin to repair or "remyelinate" damaged areas.

"Glial cell dysfunction accounts for a broad spectrum of diseases, some of which -- like the white matter degeneration of aging -- are far more prevalent than we previously realized," said Goldman. "Yet glial progenitor cells are relatively easy to work with, especially since we don't have to worry about re-establishing precise point to point connections as we must with neurons. This gives us hope that we may begin to treat diseases of glia by direct transplantation of competent progenitor cells."

Scientists have reached this point, according to the authors, because of a number of key advances. Better imaging technologies -- namely advanced MRI scanners -- now provide greater insight and clarity into the specific damage caused in the central nervous system by myelin disorders. These technologies also enable scientists to precisely follow the results of their work.

Even more importantly, researchers have overcome numerous obstacles and made significant strides in their ability to manipulate and handle these cells. Goldman's lab in particular has been a pioneer in understanding the precise chemical signals necessary to coax stem cells into making glial progenitor cells, as well as those needed to "instruct" these cells to make oligodendrocytes or astrocytes. His lab has been able to produce these cells from a number of different sources -- including "reprogramming" skin cells, a technology that has the advantage of genetically matching transplanted cells to the donor. They have also developed techniques to sort these cells based on unique identifying markers, a critical step that ensures the purity of the cells used in transplantation, lowering the risk for tumor formation.

Nedergaard's lab has studied the integration of these cells into existing neural networks, and well as in imaging their structure and function in the adult nervous system. Together, the two labs have developed models of both human neural activity and disease based on animals transplanted with glial progenitor cells, which will enable human neural cells to be evaluated in the context of the live adult brain -- as opposed to a test tube. This work has already opened new avenues in both modeling and potentially treating human glial disease.

All of these advances, contend the authors, have accelerated research to the point where human studies for myelin disorders are close at hand. For instance, diseases such as multiple sclerosis, which benefit from a new generation of stabilizing anti-inflammatory drugs, may be an especially appealing target for progenitor-based cell therapies which could repair the now permanent and untreatable damage to the central nervous system that occurs in the disease. Similarly, the authors point to a number of the childhood diseases of white matter that now appear ripe for cell-based treatment.

"We have developed a tremendous amount of information about these cells and how to produce them," said Goldman. "We understand the different cell populations, their genetic profiles, and how they behave in culture and in a variety of animal models. We also have better understanding of the disease target environments than ever before, and have the radiographic technologies to follow how patients do after transplantation. Moving into clinical trials for myelin disorders is really just a question of resources at this point."

Summer at Language Schools | Homework tips | Assignment Expert

Expand your horizons, learn another culture, and find a better job! Think about how many opportunities are opened to a person who speaks foreign languages. Interesting places to visit, new books to read, meet new exciting people and friends around the world! No matter what profession you choose, if you learn at least one foreign language ? it will be a great advantage in your career. Moreover, a good knowledge of a foreign language (e.g. French or German) will allow you to get higher education abroad for free.

Today knowledge of a foreign language, usually English, is mandatory and a prerequisite for employment in any, even the smallest, company. English as a language of international communication has long been the most popular language to learn and practically mandatory for any educated and successful person. Naturally the large flow of people, who desire to learn English overseas, streams to the UK, U.S. or Canada.

Foreign languages ??can be studied independently as well as visiting language courses. Recently, there is a growing interest in language courses abroad, because the best place for learning a foreign language is considered to be the country in which it has spoken. The cost of learning a foreign language abroad, of course, is higher than the corresponding course at home, but the efficiency and quality of language courses abroad is much above. A huge number of language schools around the world offer a wide range of foreign language courses.

Types of language courses abroad

Initial course: 15 to 32 hours a week. If you have absolutely no knowledge of a foreign language, then this course is for you. You choose the intensity of training and language school sends you in a group for beginners.

Standard Course: 15 to 32 hours a week. This is one of the most popular foreign language courses abroad. You will be able to improve language knowledge in four areas: reading, writing, listening and speaking that are important in learning the basics of grammar, building of vocabulary and communication skills. You will learn to understand the foreign language and be confident in speaking it in simple situations. The focus is on teaching you to communicate in a foreign language frequently. These are the main requirements, applicable to the person who knows the language.

Intensive course: 20 to 32 hours a week. This course is for you if you want to learn a foreign language quickly for academic or professional purposes. You will be able to ?talk? in the target language spending a minimum amount of time to deepen into the grammar of the language and all communication skills. Lessons may include discussions that teacher causes, written exercises, group work and role games. Sometimes as part of the course, you can choose 10 lessons in a special, chosen field, such as business English (or any other language), creative writing, management, politics, tourism, etc.

Individual course: 5 to 40 lessons per week. Twosome education is an ideal course for those who want to achieve maximum progress in a short period of time. It is a high rate of language, in which the teacher creates an individual program for you to deepen your knowledge in those areas that you need. This course can be combined with Standard course, as the group classes also have their advantages, such as the ability to communicate in a group. In the morning you can do in a group, and the second part of the day is devoted to individual lessons.

Business language training: from 20 to 30 classes a week. In this course you will learn to do business correspondence in a foreign language, to grow vocabulary in business, plan your working day, get the essential skills that will help you succeed in business, to reach a solid understanding of business principles. The course can include discussions that are led by the teacher, written exercises, and group work and role games.

Summer language courses for children. Foreign language schools develop special language courses abroad for kids. Foreign language is taught in these courses in fully entertaining way (for the smallest), or combined from classical studies on language learning and cultural and entertainment programs are also aimed at improving knowledge. Children usually live with local families or in the campus adjacent to the foreign student to encourage constant communication even outside the language lessons. If you decide to send your child abroad for the summer to learn English or any other language, you can be sure that the cost of the course will pay off in the future a hundredfold, because the language schools programs actually include not only the learning a foreign language, but also methodology of personal and creative development.

The most popular destinations are considered courses in England. The reason for their popularity is due undoubtedly high quality of English language schools and attention to leisure of students. The main objectives that are set by British summer camps concern the safety of students and the constant teaching of English in an easy and relaxed manner. During the courses of English in England, the child will speak in English with both teachers and peers.

Children of 12 years can choose between language schools in England and summer language camps. Learning English is presented here in a more familiar form of lessons, usually 20-30 hours a week in classes of 12-15 people. Leisure and cultural program in the summer camps and language schools in England are organized very efficiently.

Southern University to drop its mass communications master's ...

BATON ROUGE -- The Louisiana Board of Regents has given Southern University permission to drop its master of arts in mass communication degree in a budget-cutting move that provoked the ire of faculty when the idea was first floated months ago.

Karen Denby, regents associate commissioner for academic affairs, says Southern's mass communication master's degree was recently denied reaccreditation by a national organization earlier this year, while the bachelor's program was conditionally approved.

The Advocate reports Southern System President Ronald Mason acknowledged that cutting a program is rarely a good thing, but called it a necessary evil in a time of financial uncertainty.

Declining enrollment coupled with fewer state dollars and rising benefit costs preceded Southern's 2011 declaration of financial emergency, called exigency.

By declaring exigency, Southern's Baton Rouge campus had greater leeway to downsize staff and consolidate programs.

Mason said Southern is currently going through the first phase of an extensive program review which may lead to other cuts as deemed necessary.

"Mass communication at the undergraduate level is more marketable," Mason said. "We had low enrollment at the master's level, and at a time of tight budgets, we had to make a call."

Wednesday's decision by the regents came with significantly less outcry than when it was proposed at a Southern Board of Supervisors meeting this past summer.

Southern also got the go-ahead to end its doctor of philosophy in physical education program.

The regents also reinstated its endowed professorship support fund program, which guarantees a financial match to campuses looking to attract "rock star" professors.

Campuses typically receive a $40,000 match from the state for every $60,000 given in private donations.

Clinton: Facebook post about Benghazi attack not hard 'evidence'

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said on Wednesday a Facebook post in which an Islamic militant group claimed credit for a recent attack on the U.S. mission in Benghazi, Libya did not constitute hard evidence of who was responsible.

"Posting something on Facebook is not in and of itself evidence. I think it just underscores how fluid the reporting was at the time and continued for some time to be," Clinton said during an appearance with the Brazilian foreign minister at the State Department.

Reuters reported on Tuesday that an official email showed officials at the White House and State Department were advised two hours after attackers assaulted the U.S. diplomatic mission on September 11 that an Islamic militant group had claimed credit.

The email, obtained by Reuters from government sources not connected with U.S. spy agencies or the State Department and who requested anonymity, specifically mentioned that the Libyan group called Ansar al-Sharia had asserted responsibility for the attacks.

That and two other emails also made available showed how U.S. diplomats described the attack, even as it was still under way, to Washington.

Clinton, responding to a reporter's question about the emails, noted that a State Department investigation was under way.

"The independent accountability review board is already hard at work looking at everything, not cherry picking one story here or one document there, but looking at everything - which I highly recommend as the appropriate approach for something as complex as an attack like this," she said.

"We will find out what happened. We will take whatever measures are necessary to fix anything that needs to be fixed and we will bring those to justice who committed these murders."

White House spokesman Jay Carney, asked about the emails, noted that Ansar al-Sharia had later denied responsibility for the attack.

"This was an open-source, unclassified email about a posting on a Facebook site. I would also note I think that within a few hours, that organization itself claimed that it had not been responsible. Neither should be taken as fact -- that's why there's an investigation under way," he told reporters traveling with President Barack Obama aboard Air Force One to Iowa.

U.S. Ambassador Christopher Stevens and three other Americans were killed in the Benghazi assault, which Obama and other U.S. officials ultimately acknowledged was a "terrorist" attack carried out by militants with suspected links to al Qaeda affiliates or sympathizers.

Administration spokesmen, including Carney, citing an unclassified assessment prepared by the CIA, maintained for days that the attacks likely were a spontaneous protest against an anti-Muslim film.

While officials did mention the possible involvement of "extremists," they did not lay blame on any specific militant groups or possible links to al Qaeda or its affiliates until intelligence officials publicly alleged that on September 28.

There were indications that extremists with possible al Qaeda connections were involved, but also evidence that the attacks could have erupted spontaneously, they said, adding that government experts were cautious about pointing fingers prematurely.

U.S. intelligence officials have emphasized since shortly after the attack that early intelligence reporting about the attack was mixed.

MISSIVES FROM LIBYA

The records obtained by Reuters consist of three emails dispatched by the State Department's Operations Center to multiple government offices, including addresses at the White House, Pentagon, intelligence community and FBI, on the afternoon of September 11.

The first email, timed at 4:05 p.m. Washington time - or 10:05 p.m. Benghazi time, 20-30 minutes after the attack on the U.S. diplomatic mission allegedly began - carried the subject line "U.S. Diplomatic Mission in Benghazi Under Attack" and the notation "SBU", meaning "Sensitive But Unclassified."

The text said the State Department's regional security office had reported that the diplomatic mission in Benghazi was under attack. "Embassy in Tripoli reports approximately 20 armed people fired shots; explosions have been heard as well," it said.

The message continued: "Ambassador Stevens, who is currently in Benghazi, and four ... personnel are in the compound safe haven. The 17th of February militia is providing security support."

A second email, headed "Update 1: U.S. Diplomatic Mission in Benghazi" and timed 4:54 p.m. Washington time, said that the Embassy in Tripoli had reported that "the firing at the U.S. Diplomatic Mission in Benghazi had stopped and the compound had been cleared." It said a "response team" was at the site attempting to locate missing personnel.

A third email, also marked SBU and sent at 6:07 p.m. Washington time, carried the subject line: "Update 2: Ansar al-Sharia Claims Responsibility for Benghazi Attack."

The message reported: "Embassy Tripoli reports the group claimed responsibility on Facebook and Twitter and has called for an attack on Embassy Tripoli."

While some information identifying recipients of this message was redacted from copies of the messages obtained by Reuters, a government source said that one of the addresses to which the message was sent was the White House Situation Room, the president's secure command post.

Other addressees included intelligence and military units as well as one used by the FBI command center, the source said.

It was not known what other messages were received by agencies in Washington from Libya that day about who might have been behind the attacks.

Intelligence experts caution that initial reports from the scene of any attack or disaster are often inaccurate.

By the morning of September 12, the day after the Benghazi attack, Reuters reported that there were indications that members of both Ansar al-Sharia, a militia based in the Benghazi area, and al Qaeda in the Islamic Maghreb, the North African affiliate of al Qaeda's faltering central command, may have been involved in organizing the attacks.

One U.S. intelligence official said that during the first classified briefing about Benghazi given to members of Congress, officials "carefully laid out the full range of sparsely available information, relying on the best analysis available at the time."

The official added, however, that the initial analysis of the attack that was presented to legislators was mixed.

"Briefers said extremists were involved in attacks that appeared spontaneous, there may have been a variety of motivating factors, and possible links to groups such as (al Qaeda in the Islamic Maghreb and Ansar al-Sharia) were being looked at closely," the official said.

Bond eager to manage injuries ? Cricket News Update

New Zealand?s bowling coach, Shane Bond, wants to maintain a bowling profile in order to ensure that the Kiwi bowlers avoid constant injuries.

"From an injury point of view that's what I'm talking about, that profile. We need to know are these guys stiff? Are they tired? How they're eating, how they're sleeping, so that when they get an injury we can look back and say that this is a trend that's occurred and perhaps this is why the injury's occurred."

Bond was recently appointed the bowling coach, taking over from Damien Wright who decided to quit after a 13-month spell. A former player himself, Bond?s own career was cut short due to various injury worries and he finally decided to hang his boots in 2010, having already quit the longer version a year before.

In total, he played in 18 Tests and 82 ODIs, claiming 87 and 147 scalps respectively. He was well respected by his peers, and was considered among the genuine fast bowlers of his generation, alongside Shoaib Akhtar and Brett Lee.

Having already worked with the New Zealand Board, the 37-year-old expressed his intentions to work closely with the national team players and jumped at the opportunity after it was presented to him.

His first task sees him helping his side to gear up for a tough away series to Sri Lanka, where pitches offer little to pacers. Nonetheless, he is confident of achieving the desired results which according to him will only come if the bowlers deliver on a regular basis.

The current crop of Kiwi pacers include veteran Chris Martin, along with a host of young bowlers in Doug Bracewell, Neil Wagner, Tim Southee and Trent Boult. The ex pacer said that he will take advice from former Sri Lankan seamer Chaminda Vaas as well in assisting the left-armers in the side, while further try to guide the spinners, despite possessing limited knowledge of their art.

"That (spin bowling) is an area of weakness I think. In terms of technique, psychology and playing under the pressure it is all the same bowling seam and pace.?

The series begins with a One-off T20I on October 30. ?

Intolerancesto food Might Impact Your Thyroid Diet | Healthuse ...

I realize thyroid gland crisis. Modern medicine had been can not tackle this Graves? after which Hashimoto?s Disorder issues. For several years Used to do lots of learning from your errors examining until eventually My spouse and i invented our ?Healthy Thyroid gland Diet? program.

You will find food you have to take away through your as well as there are actually foods that you can supplment your daily food intake. This may not be a diet or in other words that you?re trying to lose weight however some sort of practice regarding healthful having.

Not really every person can agree with the fact that there?s a link in between diet and a wholesome thyroid gland. My spouse and i challenge you to give it a shot for a couple of several weeks and also keep track of virtually any within how you feel.

Yet another thing prior to continuing, its significance to comprehend that a lot of (90%) involving hyperthyroidism as well as hypothyroidism originate from autoimmune concerns. Which means that your immune system is attacking your own thyroid gland..

One of the initial troubles I actually look into using clients is their current diet regime.

INTOLERANCES
Can you notice ?gluten-free?, ?dairy-free? etc popping up in the health stores today? The reason being many individuals get off the actual ?big five?; gluten, dairy, hammer toe, ova and also almond and expertise significant alterations. To find the contributors, I always start off with an Removal Diet and this kind of generates very clear, neutral final results. You can even get a meals intolerance analyze (not allergy or intolerance, is actually different) done but they are faraway from correct. Gluten is definitely an famous foodstuff when you have any thyroid situation and also removing it truly is key. However , quite often, you would probably need to cut out more gluten.

CORRECT YOUR CURRENT DIGESTIVE SYSTEM KEEP TABS ON (aka GUT)

As mentioned above, most thyroid gland conditions are auto-immune illnesses. There are lots associated with lymphocytes along with other immune system cellular material within the belly, which protect against trojans, microorganisms, as well as other intruders. This is the reason most of the people along with thyroid gland circumstances furthermore encounter repeated bloatedness, propane, obstipation or maybe diarrhea. Dieting transform will help your own belly immensely. ?All disorder begins within the gut?, stated Hippocrates, the daddy of contemporary remedies and also I?m unsure why this may not be coached at school nowadays.

Drinking water level of toxicity will be HUGE throughout thyroid gland conditions; we increase fluoride based in the usa that may be now associated with reducing the thyroid; fluoride-based is thought to be leaching to the thyroid tissue conquering the particular uptake of iodine, therefore the production of the thyroid junk (T4).

DETOXIFICATION
Your current hard working liver plus your stomach because this is the location where the T4 hormone (inactive hormone) becomes transformed into T3, the particular active junk which can be truly one that powers us up. Most of our body tissue want T3, not simply T4. Should you be taking Synthroid, you will be taking a synthetic version of T4 that will still has to be transformed into T3. For those who have a slow liver organ and stomach, you may not convert properly. Get performing a yearly, bi-yearly cleansing by simply fasting, juicing, and many others to give your whole body an escape.

TACKLE STRESS and ADRENAL FATIGUE
This really is massive issue, especially with ladies. You?ll not manage to resolve your thyroid with no correcting typically the adrenals. The adrenals are also area of the endocrine technique and turn on when you find yourself burned out. I would recommend finding out about adrenal exhaustion signs and symptoms to verify if you will have them. De-stressing by dealing with some sort of therapist, life trainer, engaging in deep breathing, inhaling and exhaling, beneficial thinking; whichever do the job ? is vital.

TAKE AWAY GOITROUS MEALS
in case you experience hypothyroidism. Goiter can be a material that will decreases the thyroid. It truly is within bok choy, brocoli, Brussels? plants sprouting up, cabbage, cauliflower, kale, mustard greens, radishes, coconut, me llaman dairy, coconut lecithin (often utilized as being a fluff in veggie food) and tofu. Preparing food these people reduces their own goitrous qualities but you need to nonetheless restrict all of them from the restoration period.

Ten Things That Have Surprised Me About Early Motherhood ...

by Lara on October 24, 2012

I am now nearly eleven weeks into motherhood.

It is exhausting.

It is exhilarating.

It is challenging and emotional and yes, rewarding.

You know what else? ?It?s surprising.

Ten Things That Have Surprised Me About Early Motherhood

1. The first few weeks are a unique sort of Heaven and Hell. ??It was the best of times, it was the worst of times,? is how I will always look back at my baby?s first month of life. ?Sure, you hear about how newborns sleep a lot and how blissful it is to gaze at this new life you created. ?But no one warns you how completely inadequate you will feel every time your child cries. ?No one tells you that you might be secretly afraid to hold your own baby because it feels like their little head is going to bobble off their body. ?Or that breastfeeding at first is THE HARDEST THING EVER. ?And certainly, no one tells you about the overwhelming fear of SIDS that keeps you up even when your baby is sleeping.
2. ?Mommy brain? is real. ?I used to think this term was created by some sort of underground mothers coalition to use as an excuse for practically everything. ?Forgot to shave? ?Mommy brain. ?Ran a red light? ?Mommy brain. ?But the first time someone asked me for my child?s birth date and I gave them my own, I realized the scary truth. My brain really has turned to mush.
3. The amount of things I can accomplish one-handed. The first day I was home alone with G, I didn?t pee from 9am until 4pm. ?Now I can practically cook an entire meal with just five fingers.
4. Phantom baby cries. In the shower, in an exercise class, in the car driving solo. ?A baby?s cry is now permanently recorded in my brain.
5. You can live in fear of something that weighs seven pounds. ?Babies cry. ?That was one of the last things my midwife told me before discharging us from the hospital. ?Yet somehow when we?re out in public, the thought of my baby crying is incredibly anxiety-inducing. ?I am still learning to get out of the house and feel confident that I can meet his needs outside of our comfort zone.
6. How easily you become ?that mom.? I swore I would never post my child?s picture all over the internet. ?Now he is overexposed on basically all social media platforms, and I regularly text friends and family with updates on his development and growth. ?I write status updates complaining about a lack of sleep and stacks of laundry. ?I am. ?That Mom.
7. You stop caring about what other people think. ?Childbirth really does something to a girl?s sense of modesty. ?But more than that, I get the whole Mama Bear thing now. ?Pre-baby, I like to think I was pretty polite. ?Some even said I was overly apologetic. ?Nowadays, if you want to hold my baby, here is the hand sanitizer. ?And if you?re uncomfortable with breastfeeding, you?d better leave when he is hungry.
8. You develop a whole new appreciation for your own parents. ?It sounds selfish, but one of the first thoughts I had when I held my baby for the first time was actually a realization about my own upbringing: If my parents love me even half this much, I have been loved so much more than I ever knew.
9. You?re still the same person. People like to warn you that there is a you BB (Before Baby) and AB (After Baby). ?And while my waist may never return to its BB size, I am still a crazy dog lady. ?I still worship big hair?and country music. ?You have a baby, and on one hand, you are the same. ?On the other hand?
10. You?ll never be the same again. My sister sent me the link to a blog post when I was about eight months pregnant that I couldn?t fully relate to at the time. ?I have returned to it many times since my baby?s birth, because now I understand. ?I will quote the author directly, because I cannot better express the sentiment that she has so beautifully written:

This is the thing that women don?t tell each other about motherhood. That you will never be who you were. That you will not see anything the way you used to see it, you will never hear language the way you used to hear it, music, color, photos, friends, family, career path?nothing or no one came through my transition from single woman to mother unexamined. Least of all myself.

?and now if you?ll excuse me, I think I just heard my baby cry. ?I think.

Zuckerberg: 'Mobile is the most misunderstood aspect of Facebook'

Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg continued to press his mobile agenda during the social network's second conference call with analysts and investors on Tuesday.

Zuckerberg revealed his mobile interests rather earnestly during TechCrunch Disrupt in San Francisco last month, lambasting HTML5 in favor of native apps for smartphones and tablets.

At the time, Zuckerberg remarked that more users on mobile means that Facebook can make a lot more money through mobile over desktop.

The mobile rhetoric also had the benefit of deflecting some of the strong criticisms from analysts following the social network's poor public debut on the Nasdaq this summer.

Nevertheless, Zuckerberg reiterated the role that mobile could play for the company's overall revenue, asserting that "mobile is the most misunderstood aspect of Facebook."

Zuckerberg continued:

Most people underestimate how fundamentally good the trend towards mobile can be for Facebook. This is because there are three trends that are kind of compounded together.

First, mobile would give us the opportunity to reach way more people than desktop. Second, people on mobile use Facebook more often. And third, long-term I think we're going to monetize better per amount of time spent on mobile than desktop.

All of these combined together make mobile in much larger opportunity for us then I think most people realize.

To back this up, Facebook executives added the following numbers throughout the call:

• There are more than 1 billion people worldwide on Facebook, including 600 million on mobile.
• Zuckerberg said that Facebook is "the most widely downloaded app on basically every smartphone platform,? so we are well-positioned to reach the growing smartphone population."
• Someone who uses mobile has a 70 percent likelihood of using Facebook on a given day compared to a 40 percent rate on a desktop.
• Q3 news feed ad revenue averaged more than $4 million a day, with about three-quarters of that coming from the mobile feed.

Zuckerberg posited that one of the keys to understanding how to make sense of mobile going forward -- especially from an advertising standpoint -- is to compare mobile more to TV. He described that means high-quality ads that are baked into the mobile experience.
