Time to take rape victims down from the pedestal

In today's update on the New Delhi rape & murder case, Yahoo! News brings us more harrowing details of the night she was raped and left to die. Serious trigger warning!

As I read through the details, to bring my opinion of humanity to a new low (seriously, the men on the bus took turns driving so they could all rape her!), I skipped the section on the victim.

It's not that I don't want to know who she was, but I feel as if those sections are there to make us feel outraged that such a great person was taken from the world.

I DO NOT CARE IF YOU ARE WALKING AROUND NAKED AT 3 AM, NO ONE DESERVES TO BE RAPED. 

You don't have to be an honors student for me to feel outraged at your rape. I already know this young woman was amazing, her parents bucked tradition to send her to school, so they saw how amazing she was. That's all I need to know. I get to know a lot of young women who come to the USA for graduate education from India. One practically got off the plane to get to an interview a few years ago. I hired her and am now enjoying her updates from the fab tech company she is kicking ass at. The Indian women I know are all amazing and often arrive at my office eager to push women's rights forward. I imagine this unnamed young woman was just like them.

But I cry not just for her, but also for the unnamed women who are raped in India, the USA and around the world who won't be the apple of their parents' eye, who have made more than their fair share of bad decisions and who I might not think are good people. Rape is not a punishment. For anyone.

Perhaps 2013 will reveal a way for us to discuss rape without having to have "good victims" to tell people that rape is bad. 

UK has its pediatric heart program under review; chief is on leave, and patients are being referred to other hospitals

Kentucky Children's Hospital at the University of Kentucky is reviewing its cardio-thoracic surgery program and referring surgical patients to other hospitals, "but the reasons why are unclear," Brenna Angel reported Dec. 21 for WUKY-FM, the university-owned station.

Angel did identify "the surgeon at the center of the review," Dr. Mark Plunkett, left, who is on a leave of absence but "remains on staff at UK with a $700,000 annual salary," as chief of cardio-thoracic surgery. "UK denied an open-records request for the date of his most recent surgery and his patient mortality rate," citing privacy rules in the federal Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act. It was unclear how release of such statistics, without any personally identifying information, would compromise privacy. Plunkett and officials of the medical center refused to be interviewed.

"It's been pretty hush-hush," Tabitha Rainey of Lexington, the mother of a Plunkett patient, told Angel, who reported: "Plunkett and his assistant Dr. Deborah Kozik operated on Waylon seven days after he was born. Tabitha was later told that Dr. Plunkett was taking a leave of absence." Rainey told Angel, "Months went past and they lost another patient, who was a dear friend of mine, and it was pretty heavy in the unit at the time. Then soon after I guess they decided to stop doing the surgeries and review the entire program."

Angle was able to get some records from UK and reported they showed that "The number of children Dr. Plunkett operated on this year is down around 43 percent from two years ago." UK Trustee Dr. Charles Sachatello, a surgeon who sits on the Board of Trustees' health-care committee, told Angel, "I was not aware of that, and that was never announced at the Board of Trustees meeting." Sachatello told Angel that UK should merge its pediatric heart program with the one at the University of Louisville because of the high operational costs of such programs.

Runaway From Me, Please!

Beautiful Celebrity BC is so into this hot male model HM, to the extent that she tries to follow and stalk him as much as she can. BC's action is something HM abhors so much knowing that people speculate a lot on her presence whenever he is around. He can be right though because people really see them as such -- friends with benefits, that is.

At HM's recent gig with a another family member held at a posh venue at the Fort, BC arrived to give him support, with It Girls in tow. But HM wasn't impressed, he was in fact annoyed by it all. He told BC off that he wants nothing more than friendship between them. He turned her down, saying that she must stop getting too close. BC was furious saying she didn't deserve such treatment from him. Thus she made a rundown of all the help and everything that she did for him from the very beginning. People in the know ask what would she do that for? Same people reckon that she surely had vested interests right from the start.

HM's change of heart for BC is quite understandable. He knows that everything with her should only be temporary, and that BC must not claim that it will lead to anything serious. At his point, HM is right to assume that he has more to lose. Apart from a career that he and his close relative desperately desire, HM is into a serious relationship. And this one he can not afford to lose, definitely.

Will there come a time when BC finally come to her senses and stop chasing boys? Shouldn't she concentrate more on her career for the sake of her little loved ones who depend on her? Well, as they say -- a guava tree will not bear mangoes.

Frequent Diseases Which Affect People Over the Age of 50

The human body falls prey to a variety of diseases as it grows older. The strength and agility of both the body and the mind start depleting at a rapid rate. This is the time when an aged person gets most susceptible and vulnerable.

Diseases Over Age Of 50

Following are the frequent diseases which are most common in people over 50 years of age:

 • Urinary In-consistence: This is a very common disease among disease associate with aging which causes a heavy impact on the quality of life. The urinary bladder loses its capability to control. As a result, this leads to less or severe involuntary leakage of urine. Mostly common in women, this can also happen to men.

 • Heart Disease: As a person starts growing old, all the organs in the body start losing their efficiencies. The one organ which remains most at risk is the heart. It is mainly caused due to irregular function of the heart and the arteries. The common agents behind heart disease are excessive stress, high blood pressure, diabetes, smoking and alcohol consumption.

 • Eyesight Problems: Our eyes lose its strength as we grow old. Although myopia (shortsightedness), hypermetropia (farsightedness) and astigmatism are common problems with eyesight at all ages, the ones which are a real danger to the aged people are glaucoma, cataracts, presbyopia, and macular degeneration. Eye floaters and flashes are also being frequently reported by old people.

 • Alzheimer’s disease: This disease is the most familiar form of dementia. Sadly, there is no such cure for this illness. It grows with the progress of time and eventually kills the patient. The most common symptoms are irritability, confusion and long-term memory loss. Although it is generally reported in people over 65, it is also being frequently found in people over 50.

 • Osteoporosis: It is the disease which makes the bones of the aged people brittle which an increased chance of fracture. This mainly happens due to the loss of tissue caused by the deficit of Vitamin D and calcium. It has no such symptom. This disease increases the risk of breaking a bone whenever an elderly falls down.

 • Hair Loss: The most common cause of hair loss in aged people is balding. The growth rate of hair decreases as a person grows old. The follicles that surround the root of the hair also do not often respond properly. Moreover, it is seen that hair loss in aged people is caused due to diabetes, hypothyroidism and deficiency of iron in the body.

Although these are the most common diseases in aged people over 50 years of age, there are numerous minor and fatal diseases which affect the human body. In order to stay fit, healthy and away from these diseases as much as possible, extensive care for the elderly must be taken. The elderly people should be taken to frequent checkups, so that it is not too late to diagnose a disease. They should indulge daily in simple physical exercises like morning walks. When they are ill, home health care services must be contacted. These service providers are trained professionals who are expert in taking care of the elderly people during a disease and help them get back to normal lifestyle as soon as possible.

Author Adam Wilson talks about the most common diseases that affect people who are over the age of 50, with special reference to home health care service providers.

Cool Ideas for Your Home Theater

So you have your home theater equipment and you're ready to set up your new room, but you want to make sure you make it, well, as cool as possible. It's already pretty special that you get to set up this room for your family. Why not add a few special touches that will make it excellent. Here are some ideas making your home theater really cool.

1. Go vintage

Use history's theaters as a model for yours. Think of those decadent 1920s theaters with the big gold double doors. Even if you don't get the doors, you can still model your room off of those elegant red carpets and red plush seats. Consider covering the walls with wood paneling and vintage sconces that give the room a rich feeling when they're on. If you want to really drive the idea home, get those chairs monogrammed. This Parisian opera house feel is great for classic movie buffs and people who love all things vintage.

2. Go man cave

If your theater is mostly going to serve as a man cave for sports game viewing, choose decor that imitates a sports bar feel. Choose wood molding and simple recessed lighting. Use neutral paint to emphasize the manly feel of the room. Use leather seating to increase the feeling of relaxing and enjoying the games. Granite bars going in front of the seating will be a great place to serve beer and snacks. Or, if that's too elaborate, you can get the seats that have a cup holder attached to them and use trays to serve food.

3. Go simple

If your home theater is more prominent in your house, you may not want a novelty room front and center. If you want to incorporate your home theater into the rest of you house's decor, match the paint and lighting to reflect that. Choose light walls. Since you may not be able to set up stadium style seating, you can just build one level above the ground level. This way, people can sit on the floor and on the couch above without feeling crammed.

4. Go modern

If you like clean lines and want to emphasize the techie feel of the home theater choose a concrete bar for the back of the room and concrete walls. Choose square chairs that emphasize strong lines and make the lighting just as angular. The result will be Star Trek meets Pottery Barn, and it will be beautiful.

5. Go kid friendly

If the home theater is mostly going to be for the kids, consider letting them weigh in. Of course, you might not be able to model the theater after a princess castle or spider man, but you can get some ideas that can be translated into a more civilized space. Consider hanging pictures of the kids' favorite cartoon characters or getting colorful sconces that make the space fun for kids but still tasteful enough for adults.

Once you've decided on your video equipment and you've started to set up the technology, you'll want to start considering the design of the room. It's great that you'll have a new fun room for the family, but it can be that much more fun if you make the room really cool -- whatever cool means to you and your family.

Grace Lord writes for home design blogs and recommends checking out www.theaterseatstore.com when looking to purchase theater seating.

"Excited" at the Highway

Image courtesy of www.devotedtodressage.blogspot.com

Reality search winner actor RA has been lacking in tv and movie projects lately. That is why he accepts provincial projects on a regular basis for some income. Normally, it is his road manager RM1 who usually accompanies him, and sometimes there are other staff who tag along, too.

On the way to Manila from one of those provincial tours, RA team's vehicle (van) was still spacious as they were only a handful of them with him, including 2 road managers.

RA was seated at the back area with RM1. The other one, RM2 and some other staff were in the front and middle seats. As they were sailing along the highway, RA was feeling bored and naughty. Thus he motioned this RM1 to give him a "hand" thing -- and nothing more. Even if they were just motioning and whispering to each other, RM2 could hear them.

Although surprised with RA's request, RM1 willing gave in to him and did what was requested. All the time that they were doing it, RM2 was well aware with everything that was going on and the conversations in
between.

Is RA really that "excited" as to do it anywhere, anytime the need hits him? Well, there are rumors about his past that seem to connect to this behavior. Or maybe it's just young hormones going so active. At any rate, RA should better be careful the next time around. Otherwise, doing it with people around is always an invitation to get BI'd in FP like this..hahaha!

The tragedy of hunger again becomes diaflo current need of emergency food in the African horn, but the general diaflo hunger is quiet living reality. Worldwide, more than a billion people, according

to the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO), have difficulties to access food. Famine with political reasons and responsibility.
Africa diaflo has been devastated country. Its natural resources have been robbed of its communities through centuries of domination and kolonijalizacija. Although it is not just a sack of gold, oil, kolumbit tantalit, rubber, diamonds etc.., But also water, soil, seeds that provide food for its inhabitants. If 80% of the population of the African horn, as indicated by the FAO depends on agriculture as its main source of food and income, what do they do when there is no land for farming?
Recently, the country's growing wave of privatization in Africa diaflo (buy food multinational enterprises, foreign governments or investment funds) have made her insecure Agrarian and food system even more vulnerable. When villagers and farmers evicted from their land, where they can grow food and eat? Many states, as a result, have assessed their already diaflo limited ability self-provision/self-supply drastically reduced, after decades of economic liberalization policies that have reduced their production capacity.
Food crisis and the financial crisis that erupted in 2008 has led, as is well documented by the international organization GRAIN, to a new cycle of appropriation country globally. Governments dependent on imports of food production to ensure

food for its citizens outside its borders, and agro-industry and investors, greedy for new and profitable investment, later acquired diaflo fertile lands in the South. Dynamics that threaten agriculture and food security in these countries.
It is believed that by 2008, they acquired this way about 56 million hectares of land globally, according to data from the World Bank, the main part of this, more than 30 million hectares in Africa, where land is cheap and it is in common ownership makes it more vulnerable. Other sources such as the Global Land Project, talking about 51 to 63 million hectares in Africa, an area similar in size to France. This includes leases, concessions or land purchases. Forms transaction can be multifaceted and often opaque dynamics which some authors describe as "new colonialism" or "agrokulturen colonialism" through indirect rekolonijalizacija African resources.
The World Bank was one of the main proponents of development, together diaflo with other international institutions such as the FAO Conference on Trade and Development

Through the International Finance Corporation (IFC), World Bank institution allied with trading

Ethiopia, one of the states that are affected by the current famine, has offered three million hectares of arable land to foreign investors from India, China, Pakistan and Saudi Arabia, among others. Business could not be better: 2500 km2 intact productive land for 700 euros per month, with a contract for 50 years. This is, for example, an agreement reached between etiopiskata government and the Indian company diaflo Karuturi Global, one of the 25 largest global agrobiznizi which make use of these lands for the cultivation of oil palm, rice, sugar cane, corn and cotton for export. Consequences: thousands of peasants and indigenous people expelled from their land, it is they who suffer most from hunger and lack of food, and the huge forest belts torched and destroyed.
Other African countries such as Mozambique, Ghana, Sudan, Mali, Kenya Tanzacija

given lease millions of hectares of its territory. In Tanzania, the government of Saudi Arabia has acquired 500,000 hekari land to produce rice and wheat for export.

Rosemary and Sea Salt Roasted Pecans


Let's ring in the New Year right.

Let's grab our favorite beverage (I highly recommend this ginger spritzer or a cranberry rosemary refresher), our coziest blanket, and a handful of salty snacks. Let's curl up watching a good movie that makes us cry... play a board game with friends and have so much fun laughing that it hurts... or perhaps spend the evening batting a pretend mouse around with some felines.  There are lots of great ways to celebrate the New Year; just don't forget the snacks.

Wishing you health and happiness in 2013!





These rosemary and sea salt pecans are incredibly addictive. You've now been warned: do not make these on an empty stomach. The first time I made these, I think I ate about a cup in one sitting. This is serious business.

When roasting nuts, it's important to roast them at no higher than 170 degrees F because high temperatures cause nuts to break down their fats and produce free radicals. (This is also why you never want to use olive oil for high temperature cooking.)  To get around this, you can gently roast the nuts in the oven at 170 degrees F or, if you prefer a raw version, use a food dehydrator at an even lower temperature.

Note: I tried a batch of these in my dehydrator at 110 degrees F for 6 hours and they did not get the same "roasted" flavor as in the oven, but they were toasty and delicious all the same.

Rosemary and Sea Salt Pecans
Makes 2 cups

2 cups whole pecans
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh rosemary
1/2 teaspoon coarse sea salt (or more to taste)

Preheat oven to 170 degrees F.  Toss pecans with oil, rosemary, and salt.  Lay flat on sheet pan and bake for 15 - 20 minutes, or until nuts are toasted.

Bordering on Earthly Desires

Image courtesy of www.earthlydesires.nl 

A few years ago, comedy performer (CP) might have gotten her way with her male co-host (MH) in a successful series that was considered a breakthrough for the network. At that time, CP had an overwhelming crush on MH. CP cannot be blamed for her feelings as MH is the boy-next-door type, fun, and well-mannered. A very competent host, MH handled the shows entrusted to him with aplomb. Although he tried acting, it was never his genre.

Adding to his appeal is the challenge that must have enticed CP. MH has a relationship and was never rumoured to have been disloyal. In one of their out of town tapings, CP kept teasing and flirting with MH. For the production, the actions of CP were normal as she has always been funny on and off camera. In other words, there was no cause for alarm, and thus no one minded CP.

On their last night at the location, CP knocked at MH's room. Then the following morning, someone saw CP coming out of MH's room. When asked by the staff what happened, CP quipped with her deadpan style, “Finally, Papa MH gave in!”

Did MH really give in to CP, who is not exactly known as a saint? Did MH's partner learn of his alleged “indiscretion?" Or was CP just imagining things? At any rate, MH and partner's relationship is solid as a rock as to get affected. But then - who are we to say?

If the treasure box is open, even the most upright will sin.

The Hot Weather Toolkit for the Car

Summer months are a time when people enjoy the outdoors with their families and friends. The warmer temperatures and the longer hours of daylight mean extra trips to recreational areas and even family vacations. Often wilderness areas are ideal spots for camping and summer family vacations, and necessitate the need for long drives. Although in places like Missouri and Nebraska insurance premiums can be lower for good drivers, the added driving and the warmer weather brings its own share of risks that can create conditions for raised insurance rates, conditions like accidents and bad weather. Simple checklist for a toolkit for the warmer months can help alleviate some of these concerns.

The first thing that a driver should check their vehicle for in the summer months is the exterior. When the weather turns warm, it can be a good idea to give the car a good wash and to provide the car with a good wax protectant. This does a couple of things. For one thing it gives the car added protection from the rain and dust of summer months. It also helps protect the cars paint from damage that occurs from ultraviolet radiation. The paint on a car is meant to protect the metal from exposure to the elements where it can rust and lose its structural integrity. Summers can be extremely hot, and this combination of extreme heat and rain can be especially damaging to a car's exterior.

The driver should then turn their attention to the interior of the car. The summer heat can turn the interior of a car into a furnace. This is not only damaging to upholstery, but electronics and personal items that one leaves inside a vehicle. This is particularly true for black colored vehicles. For protection of the upholstery it is essential that a driver invest in a sunshade for the front windshield. Sunshades offer great protection to a car from both the heat and the damaging effects of heat on sensitive upholstery like leather. They are generally fairly inexpensive, and the driver should consider one with a reflective surface since they radiate heat and light back most effectively.

For roadside emergencies, there are a few items that a driver should consider having in their car for the summer months. Water is an essential addition. Water can mean survival when a driver is stranded in a hot place many miles from roadside assistance, but it can also mean having a necessary item for batteries and coolant systems. Batteries use water, and having water on hand to add to a coolant system that has leaked can mean being able to drive that extra mile to a gas station. Food that has been freeze dried is important to have because it can keep indefinitely and can be on hand in the case of a remote stranding. One should also keep an umbrella, a flashlight, and a basic toolkit for repairs.

The summer months are great for enjoying the outdoors, and the motor vehicle makes it possible to enjoy much of it. If the driver keeps these simple things in their cars, they will be prepared when disaster strikes.

"We had a very simple idea, that's to see the warmth"



This ad was created for a Belgian natural gas company. The purpose was to show the TV audience what "warm looks like", says director Olivier Babinet.

"The idea of the film is simple. How to visualize the warmth of natural gas? By the use of the stop motion technic, we see how warmth spreads through the house as knitted wool."

Here is how they did it, carefully attaching yards of yarn to walls, radiators, and pipes, 40 people working 4 days and nights:

It is clear to all of Macedonia that "Green Coalition" from Veles not reached here easily to hand battle against Smelter of Veles, or, as they call it, the "silent killer". Use all permissible measures to get what they are looking for - the right to a healthy environment membrane filteration for all citizens of Veles.
Because of this, "Green Coalition" this time cleverly membrane filteration used the legal opportunity that gives Environmental Law and challenge the decision of the Ministry of Environment which establishes the need for assessment of the environmental impact of the smelter. Environmental impact assessment involves the preparation of a study that considered all possible alternatives (including membrane filteration the zero alternative - not to open smelter!) And is the only way through which must pass Metrudhem (factory owner) if he wants to reboot the lead and zinc smelter. But obviously not so easy to pass as it did a number of other major pollutants in Macedonia.
As a result of the complaint the Ministry of Environment said it voluntarily suspends the procedure for environmental impact assessment until a decision the State Commission for administrative membrane filteration decisions in labor relations and procedure in the second degree. The options available to the Commission (pursuant to the Law on General Administrative Procedure): To reject the appeal; accept membrane filteration the appeal and reverse the decision in whole or in part; either accept the appeal and to amend the appealed decision.

The Ring

This is Rated PG, dear readers.

Despite having a relationship, why is hunk actor (HA) so irresistible to women and could not be content with one? Since stories about his accommodating ways with women sprouted out, HA seems to hold the secret of attraction. Other than his oozing sex appeal, there seems to be something more than meets the eye.

A woman (AW) with whom HA had an encounter with could not contain her excitement from what she discovered about HA. While AW was feeling HA, she noticed and felt something different with what she was “holding.” AW had to ask HA what it was. Truthfully, HA said it was the end-result of a ring he once wore down there. Hmmm... Although AW said it felt odd like it was an extra thingy, it did not seem to bother HA anymore.

Just to verify, someone in the know boldly asked the person PE who used to be very close to HA about that extra thingy down there. PE asked how she found out about it. She answered “From a friend.” Then, PE responded with “Keep quiet na lang, it’s private.” Did PE unknowingly confirm AW’s story? Perhaps PE also got shocked that another woman knew about this bedroom secret.
