Persons as young as 20 may also encounter body feeling numb in hands, legs and face. What really triggers our body parts to go numb? We are going to give you details on body numbness causes, therapy and remedy.

Do you know the different Reasons Behind Body Numbness? In reality, it is common for many people to get body numbness. Should this happen, then it is only practical for you to seek medical help from a neurologist. However, even a simple numbness of the palms warrant specialist consultation if it occurs frequently. Now, does diabetic issues cause numbness? For some people with advanced type 2 diabetes, this is true. An increased level of blood sugar in the blood stream poses risk on the nerve receptors. Once the nerves are disrupted or impacted by the increase in sugar level in your body, it will cause those tingling feeling on the skin, which consequently is translated to numbness. For some people, it also feels like creeping or tiny needle pricking feeling.

How do you treat a numb hand because of diabetes mellitus? Technically, you shouldn?t do any self treatment at home. Always consult a doctor if you suspect you have diabetes. Some other symptoms to look out for are headaches, lightheadedness, having wounds that take too much time to heal and even having blurry vision. By searching for medical assistance, you will be able to manage your diabetes adequately. Obviously, the numbing of the hands and thighs will then disappear.

It is very possible to have those numb body parts due to a nerve and brain illness. Probably the most common problems contributing to numb lips and face is Multiple Sclerosis. This is a nerve disease and may be life-threatening when not taken care of at an early stage. It is crucial for you to search for other signs or symptoms which are usually nearly the same as other benign conditions. Some symptoms to watch out for are unexpected fainting, loss of balance and continuous headaches. Since this is a brain and nerve condition, it is not very unlikely for you to get those numbing feeling in your entire body or parts of it. Individuals who were diagnosed of Sclerosis have finger numbness, face numbing and regular stabbing feeling in different body parts. A few also are convinced that they experience burning sensation on the skin and creeping insect feeling.

There are several causes of numbness which means there are several professionals needed as well. Nevertheless, for standard consultations, a neurologist will turn out useful when you are figuring out the cause of your trouble. On the other hand, it might be better to just keep an eye on your entire health and pay attention to the signs for at least two or three days. If these signs and symptoms persist together with body numbness, you?ll need to consult a professional. For additional signs or symptoms which involve grave experiences like fainting, diminished sensation on the skin or serious headache, consult a doctor immediately.

How Batman vs. Superman Helped Create Batman Begins

superman_batman645

Film journalist and biographer David Hughes has long written with authority on subjects from Stanley Kubrick to David Lynch. But few writers know more about the vicissitudes of that uniquely Hollywood phenomenon known as "development hell." Hence the updated, revised edition of Hughes's book Tales From Development Hell, which arrives in store and online today. And Movieline has an exclusive excerpt that you can browse now.

Development Hell is chockablock with gossip, infighting, false starts and dirty little secrets that afflicted films both realized (Indiana Jones 4, Total Recall) and abandoned (Crusade, Crisis in the Hot Zone), with a little bit of limbo thrown in for good measure (Fantastic Voyage, The Sandman). In this exclusive excerpt, Hughes revisits the Batman franchise's tortured road back to respectability ? by way of the stalled Superman franchise. Really.

=======

Warner Bros evidently saw a team-up movie as more than just a tantalizing possibility, but a viable way of bringing the Superman and Batman franchises out of the development mire. It was soon confirmed that the studio was excited about a script entitled Batman vs Superman, written by Se7en and Sleepy Hollow scribe Andrew Kevin Walker and subsequently "polished" by Akiva Goldsman (Batman Forever, Batman & Robin, A Beautiful Mind), in which the characters would begin as allies, albeit with radically different worldviews, before facing off in a showdown brought about by Bruce Wayne?s familiar desire to avenge the violent killing of a loved one.

The story begins five years into Bruce Wayne?s life post-Batman, having put his costume back into the closet following the death of Robin. He has settled down, married a woman named Elizabeth, and is happier than ever. Over in Metropolis, however, Superman has not been so lucky in love, having been dumped by Lois Lane due to the myriad difficulties of being Clark Kent?s girlfriend. When The Joker, previously thought dead, kills Elizabeth with a poison dart, Bruce takes it hard. First, he blames Superman, because the Man of Steel saved The Joker from a fatal beating just before the murder; second, he resumes the mantle of Batman ? not, this time, under any pretense of metering out justice, but for the sheer cathartic pleasure of beating up bad guys. Superman, who has been busy wooing his first love, Lana Lang, in Smallville, tries to talk Bruce out of his vengeful ways, an act which ultimately pits the two heroes against each other. Eventually, it transpires that Superman?s nemesis Lex Luthor was behind The Joker?s return, hoping that Batman and Superman would kill each other. Instead, the two heroes unite to defeat first The Joker, and finally Luthor, the man fundamentally behind Elizabeth?s death.

Opinions from Internet script reviewers were divided, either over the details of the Walker and Goldsman drafts, or the very idea of having Batman and Superman go mano a mano. Responding to an unfavorable review of Goldsman?s rewrite by Coming Attractions? Darwin Mayflower, Batman on Film reporter "Jett" said that, while he had not read the Goldsman draft, ?I very much liked Walker?s original... I thought it was a very dark and powerful script and had a very clever way of pitting Batman against Superman. Mayflower flatly does not like the squaring off of Bats and Supes... [whereas] I found it quite exciting ? plus you know that they are going to end up as allies in the end. Mayflower also has a problem with Goldsman?s (who many credit for the killing of the Bat-franchise with his p.o.s. Batman & Robin script) rewrites,? Jett added. ?The only reason I can come up with why WB let Goldsman do rewrites was to lighten the script up a bit. Walker?s original ? in my opinion ? was dark. Perhaps WB thought too much so.?

Nevertheless, the studio was sufficiently excited about the script to postpone its plan for a new stand-alone Superman film and a fifth Batman in order to fast-track Batman vs Superman for a 2004 release, with Wolfgang Petersen (Das Boot, The Perfect Storm) at the helm. ?It is the clash of the titans,? the German-born director told Variety in July 2002. ?They play off of each other so perfectly. [Superman] is clear, bright, all that is noble and good, and Batman represents the dark, obsessive and vengeful side. They are two sides of the same coin and that is material for great drama.? Petersen subsequently spoke to MTV.com about his love for the Batman and Superman films, ?especially in both cases the first two. I saw them over and over again.? Batman vs Superman, he added, would be part of the lore of the films and the comics, ?but it?s also different. First of all, the dynamics are different because if they are in one movie together it changes a lot of things and it gives you a new perspective on superheroes... You also have the look and feel of Metropolis, the bright golden city, and the feel of Gotham, which is a shadowy, sinister city, in the same movie. This is Superman/Batman of the time after September 11th, also. It takes place in today or tomorrow?s world.?

Unsurprisingly, the announcement of a fast-tracked Batman vs Superman movie led to a surge of speculation as to which actors might don the respective capes. ?We have a script that really very, very much concentrates on the characters,? Petersen told MTV.com. ?It?s really material for two great actors.? Although he had previously cited Matt Damon as a possible star, Petersen later clarified that he was merely an example of the kind of actor he was looking for. ?Someone who we so far did not really think of as a big action hero, who turned out to be a great actor who can also do great action... He?s one of these guys, but there?s a lot of these guys out there.? As far as the rumor-mills were concerned, Jude Law and Josh Hartnett were apparently front-runners to play Superman/Clark Kent, while Colin Farrell and Christian Bale ? the latter previously connected with the Year One role ? were widely mentioned for dual duties as Bruce Wayne and Batman. (?No, that?s Bateman, not Batman,? quipped Bale, referring to Patrick Bateman, his character in American Psycho.) Barely a month after the Variety announcement, however, Batman vs Superman seemed suddenly to have fallen out of favor with the studio, leading director Wolfgang Petersen to quit the project in favor of Troy, an epic retelling of Homer?s The Iliad starring Brad Pitt.

The studio?s swift about-face was based on a number of factors. Firstly, on July 5, Alias creator J. J. Abrams had turned in the first 88 pages of a new stand-alone Superman script, designed to be the first of a trilogy. Bob Brassel, a senior vice president for production at the studio, called producer Jon Peters, urging him to read the work-in-progress. ?I did,? Peters told The New York Times, ?and it was amazing. In a world of chaos, it?s about hope and light.? Abrams delivered the remaining 50 pages of the script in mid-July, just as Spider-Man began its amazing assault on box office records, suggesting that light and airy, not dark and powerful, was the way to go with superhero flicks. At that point, Peters, Abrams and Brassel met in the offices of executive vice president for worldwide motion pictures Lorenzo di Bonaventura ? the man behind the Harry Potter and Matrix movies, and a long time champion of Batman vs Superman ? who said that he liked the script (?It had more epic ambition than earlier Superman scripts,? he said later), but that he planned to release Batman vs Superman first. According to Peters, Abrams said, ?You can?t do that,? suggesting that it was akin to releasing When Harry Divorced Sally before When Harry Met Sally.

Both sides had their points: with two iconic heroes for the price of one, Batman vs Superman arguably stood the better chance in a marketplace soon to be crowded with superhero films, ranging from Hulk to Daredevil, and more sequels featuring Spider-Man and The X-Men; however, if the darker sensibility of Batman vs Superman did not connect with audiences, it could effectively kill both franchises before they had had a chance to be revived. Besides, if either Batman or Superman failed, the studio would still have the team-up movie to fall back on. As studio president Alan Horn told The New York Times, ?In reintroducing these characters we wanted to do what was in the best interest of the company.? Thus, in early August, Horn asked ten senior studio executives ? representing international and domestic theatrical marketing, consumer products and home video ? to read both scripts, and decide which of them stood the better chance in the post-Spider-Man marketplace. ?I wanted some objectivity,? Horn explained. ?Why not get an opinion or two?? At the meeting, di Bonaventura argued in favor of Batman vs Superman; others, however, felt that Abrams?s three-part Superman story had better long-term prospects for toy, DVD and ancilliary sales. Besides, even if the majority had not favoured the Superman script, Horn had the casting vote. ?I said I wanted to do Superman,? he told The New York Times. ?At the end of the day it?s my job to decide what movies we make.?

The plan, Horn later told The Hollywood Reporter, was that Superman, the long-mooted Catwoman spin-off, and ?a Batman origins movie? (presumably Year One) would revive both franchises, paving the way for a team-up movie. ?I?d like to think that each character will evolve so that when we have Batman vs Superman, the meeting of the two will feel more organic,? he said. Peters, the former hairdresser and Batman producer who had toiled through the development of a Superman film for eight years, was moved to tears when Alan Horn phoned to tell him the news. ?I swear I heard the flapping of angel wings when Alan was talking,? he said. Peters, in turn, called Christopher Reeve, who had played Superman in four films between 1978 and 1987, and had recently guest-starred on the small-screen Superman show Smallville, despite a crippling spinal injury he suffered in a fall from a horse. ?He told me that his original idea was to do a film of Superman vs Batman,? Reeve later recalled. ?They were pretty far into it, and then Jon saw that documentary that my son made about me and how five years after the injury I started to move.? According to Reeve, Peters began to rethink the idea: ??Why should [they] have two superheroes fighting?? The movie that Warner Bros is making now will be a much more uplifting and spiritual story.? In August, Warner Bros officially switched off Batman vs Superman?s green light. Days later, on Sept. 4, its greatest champion, Lorenzo di Bonaventura, quit after 12 years at the studio, giving credence to the widespread speculation that Horn vs di Bonaventura ? an epic battle of wills between two of the studios biggest guns over two of its biggest assets ? had contributed to his departure.

Where all this left the Batman franchise was unclear. Almost anyone, it seemed, was invited to apply for the vacancy of the next film?s screenwriter, and even Grant Morrison, author of one of the biggest selling graphic novels of all time, Arkham Asylum, threw his hat into the ring. ?My own movie agent at Creative Artists Agency submitted a treatment I?d entitled Batman: Year Zero, which had a young Batman traveling around the world, slowly assembling the familiar components of his outfit and disguise in the year before returning to Gotham as its protector.? As a change from The Joker or the Penguin, Morrison?s villains were Ra?s al-Ghul and Man-Bat from Denny O?Neil?s widely acclaimed Batman stories of the 1970s. Although Morrison?s application was unsuccessful, the team which was assigned the restoration of the Bat-franchise evidently agreed with his approach, electing to return to Batman?s roots as part of their restoration effort.

It was in early 2003 that Warner Bros revealed the new curator of the Bat-franchise: Christopher Nolan, director of the tricksy Memento and a well-received remake of Scandinavian thriller Insomnia. ?All I can say is that I grew up with Batman,? Nolan commented. ?I?ve been fascinated by him and I?m excited to contribute to the lore surrounding the character. He is the most credible and realistic of the superheroes, and has the most complex human psychology. His superhero qualities come from within. He?s not a magical character.? Although Variety also reported that both Year One and Catwoman ? the latter scripted by John Rogers (The Core), starring Ashley Judd (later to be replaced by Halle Berry) and directed by visual effects veteran Pitof ? were also on the cards, Nolan?s untitled Batman project seemed the most likely to move forward, although it remained unclear which script would form the basis of the film.

Nolan, who knew Batman but was uncertain about his wider comic book context, turned to David S. Goyer, who scripted Dark City, The Crow: City of Angels, the comic book adaptation Blade and its sequels, and unused drafts of Freddy vs Jason, for help with the script. Ironically, Goyer, whose lifelong dream had been to write a Batman movie script, was unavailable, preparing to direct Blade: Trinity ? but agreed to give Nolan some ideas pro bono. As Goyer recalls, ?I said, ?If I did do it, this is what I would do, and you can have my ideas for free.? I talked for about an hour and spitballed a large amount of what the film is, and Chris said, ?Wow, that sounds great.? He went away again for a few more days, [then] I got a call saying, ?You have to do this.?? Goyer carved out the time to write the first draft of the script.

The Nolan-Goyer Batman set out to achieve something no comic book or film had accomplished thus far: tell a definitive origin story, charting the journey from the murder of young Bruce Wayne?s parents all the way to the formation of Batman as a masked vigilante. Drawing heavily on the comic book history of the character, Nolan and Goyer filled in the blanks, working with Nolan?s regular production designer Nathan Crowley to build a Batman story from the ground up ? exactly the approach which Warner Bros wanted to re-boot its biggest property. Released on June 5, 2005, Batman Begins made just over $200 million at the US box office ? $50 million (and a few million audience members) short of Burton?s Batman, but a healthy start to what would, with The Dark Knight (2008) and The Dark Knight Rises (2012) signal the return of the bat to box office dominance ? not only among its comic book peers, but Hollywood in general. Sixteen years since Tim Burton?s Batman gave birth to the film franchise and Joel Schumacher?s Batman and Robin killed it off, the Dark Knight had returned ? with a vengeance.

Nonetheless, financial recovery was basically seen with all the rate of growth hanging close to 8% in between 2003 and 2007.This trend was reversed around the year 2008 and 2009, after the rate of growth was 6.76% and 2.5%, respectively. The Argentina house prices also dropped within 2008, showing the actual international economic crisis. Regardless of this, the Argentina real estate costs had restored not less than 50% of the actual lost ground during 2009. Throughout the growth period, costs of real estate property in Argentina, especially in the much-loved areas of Buenos Aires, had equalled the prices of worldwide real-estate for sale prices in metropolitan areas like Nyc, London, uk, or Paris. However, the current prices of Argentina real estate auction or sale listings in Buenos Aires are 7 to 10 x cheaper than the actual prices prevailing in these cities. If the global property investors move out of the capital city to other cities and countryside locations, the cost variations are even more apparent.

For example, the apartment prices in the most pricey area of Palermo in the capital, Buenos Aires range between $1,700 and $3,000 per square meter. In another wealthy place, Recoleta, the actual prices of condominiums are actually between $2,500 and $5,000 per square meter. As soon as the Argentina real estate for sale available for such relatively cheaper prices, the Argentina leases had likewise dropped substantially. The actual leasing makes in major places of the capital dropped from 9.4% in the year 2008 to 7.7% during 2009. Rentals for houses were marginally better in the number of 6.7% to 9%, whereas the rental fees of apartments ranged between 6.4% and 7.4%.

These particular estimates demonstrate that the uprising in the real estate property of Argentina following the economic downturn in the United States Of America during 2008 carried on well in 2009. Nevertheless, the prices of Argentina real estate property had been stabilizing in 2010 and the trend is expected to keep on. The major advantage of Argentina real estate property for sale and also Argentina rental fees is the money settlement of residence trades after the economic setback undergone by that nation during 2002.

This had protected the Argentina residence prices to a great extent from serious shocks.

Spiritual books, parapsychology, New Age and metaphysical books ...

Article by David Gau-ghan

Many people believe that books are different

new age of spiritual books, even though there are so many books available that are described as new age spiritual books . If you look at the new age and spiritual conditions, we find similarities, where spiritual refers to soul or spirit and the new age has been described as ?of or relating to the consciousness of spiritual movements and awareness. ? New Age books covering health, medicine, philosophy, religion and the occult. And yet, the new age term was coined only in recent decades, mainly from the 1970s. So that begs the question ? is there such thing as a new era

Many so-called New Age books (and spiritual books) that have been written in recent decades are adamant that we are indeed in a new age spiritual era is new in all aspects of what has preceded. However, research on old books and spiritual books philosophy shows that humanity has gone through periods of high enlightenment before ? sometimes inspired metaphysical and spiritual awareness that equals or surpasses our current times. So is it not perhaps a new era as such, but simply a recollection of powers metaphysical, esoteric, parapsychology forgot a source of spiritual inspiration and we all possess but have temporarily. If this is the case, then perhaps a more apt term would be Mind Body Spirit.

Which brings us to another term so-called new age ? parapsychology. New age parapsychology is the study of paranormal and parapsychology term comes from the Greek para beside, beyond ?and psychology, derived from the Greek psyche,? soul, spirit ?. So here we are again back to the spiritual or, as mentioned above, Mind Body Spirit. Yet few, still insist that spiritual books, new age books new age parapsychology and themes are quite distinct. Perhaps this is why people are increasingly striking the phrase Mind Body Spirit in the attempt to model the different terms in a more unified category. If you look more closely at the key messages in the various spiritual books, new age books, metaphysical, esoteric, parapsychology, philosophy and books of improvement, not self, there are often similarities are sometimes veiled in different terms that could all be better described as Mind Body Spirit. Yes, the same philosophy books, which are essentially the belief system or has been accepted as an authoritative account by a group philosophy or school, have similarities with each other and thus to the most recent parapsychology new age spiritual and metaphysical esoteric books. Philosophy books available today, which are scriptures handed over the centuries that are the basic beliefs of many world religions, which have strong similarities with the original, although interpretation of these books over the ages led to contrasting viewpoints. Considering the war that the opposing views of philosophy looking for books through the ages has caused, perhaps this new era of parapsychology, with its metaphysical, esoteric and spiritual messages and books will help break these old belief systems that have divided humanity for so long, especially when united under the slogan of the most acceptable of Mind Body Spirit. The proliferation of self improvement books alone has brought a spiritual awareness to thousands, if not millions, seeking to grow through better acquainted. Old books are being rewritten in more spiritual philosophy a new age terminology and marketed under various terms, not only the new age and spiritual, but not so many books metaphysical esoteric books, new age parapsychology, books, books inspiration self improvement and even philosophy. A growing number of these inspirational books are grouped, on websites and also in physical bookstores, under the label Body Mind Spirit. The overriding influence of these books is, by encouraging readers to deepen Themselves to discover their true spiritual nature and it is encouraging to see so many New Age spiritual parapsychology (Mind Body Spirit) books coming out in increasing each year. Two books examined are listed on www.1-inspiration-quote-book.com / Although many readers place them in different categories. They are a mixture of metaphysical, spiritual improvement books, esoteric and self, even if they are based on a theme of science fiction. Above all, they are an inspiration, said from the perspective of an alien race of beings who are concerned about the direction we take. Whatever the different views, they easily fall into the category Body Mind Spirit more widespread and, overall, feedback from readers has been fantastic, many of them describing the book as ?an inspiration and thought provoking. ? As one reader wrote? The story slowly engulfed me, drew me until I was on my own journey. It opened my mind, pushing me to read more. I ask, is this just a novel or a key to our future ?

Japan's 2011 megaquake reactivated dormant faults

The megaquake that shook the east coast of Japan in March 2011 reactivated dormant faults near Fukushima's beleaguered nuclear reactors, geologists warn.

"A strong quake may occur in the Futaba fault, only 5 to 6 kilometres away," says Dapeng Zhao of Tohoku University. The fault runs parallel to the coast, right past both of Fukushima's nuclear plants.

Zhao's team used data from more than 6000 quakes between June 2002 and October 2011 to make a 3D map of the crust in the area that suffered the largest aftershock recorded on land after the March megaquake: a quake on 11 April in Iwiki. The images show fluid rising through the Pacific plate as it sinks under Japan. They say the March quake transferred stress to surrounding faults, causing them to adjust in aftershocks. The fluid in the Iwiki fault lubricated it, causing it to slip almost immediately in a large, magnitude 7 aftershock (Solid Earth, DOI: 10.5194/se-3-43-2012).

Seismic readings from the Fukushima area reveal stresses and rising fluids similar to those found at Iwiki, so "the possibility of quake generation becomes much larger than before the 11 March quake", says Zhao.

A magnitude 7 quake would release far less energy than the magnitude 9 megaquake, but because the Futaba fault is so close to Fukushima, it would shake both power stations more strongly.

22 Carnival cruise passengers robbed in Mexico

By Dan Askin, Cruise Critic

Twenty-two passengers on?Carnival Splendor?were robbed at gunpoint Thursday while on a ship-sponsored tour in?Puerto Vallarta, Mexico.?

At least one Mexican media outlet said the passengers were returning by bus to their ship at approximately 5 p.m. after spending time in El Nogalito, a tourist area known for its lush natural setting. Masked assailants stopped the bus and robbed the cruisers of their money, watches, cameras and other valuables.?

There were no injuries and all passengers were returned safely to the ship, Carnival said in a statement.?Numerous authorities were notified and responded to investigate, as well as assist the affected passengers, Carnival said.?

According to?informador.mx.com, the bandits have yet to be apprehended.?

Carnival also apologized to the passengers for the "unfortunate and disturbing event" and said it is working with passengers to reimburse them for lost valuables and assist with lost passports or other forms of identification.?

?The tour in question ? a guided nature trail excursion sold and booked through the line ? has been suspended until further notice.?

Live Poll

Would you take a vacation in Mexico?

More from Cruise Critic:

The incident comes at a rough time for the beleaguered?Mexican Riviera?cruise region, which has seen numerous lines pull out over safety and security concerns, as well as issues with demand. Lines have primarily cut calls in?Mazatlan, which has seen its scheduled ship visits plummet from 200 in 2010 to roughly a dozen in 2012, but?Acapulco?and Puerto Vallarta have also suffered.

The U.S. State Department advises Americans to exercise?caution when traveling to Mexico. Earlier this month, the department released its latest?travel warning, updating one that had been in effect since April 2011. As with the earlier warning, it reiterated that millions of Americans safely visit the country every year and that most of the drug-related violence occurs near the Mexico-U.S. border and along drug-trafficking routes, rather than in resort towns and other tourist destinations.?

The Carnival Splendor made headlines in November 2010 after an onboard fire paralyzed the ship for three days?about 200 miles outside San Diego?and stranded thousands of passengers. The repaired ship set sail again last February with two new generators and a new engine. ?

Carnival Splendor is currently sailing on a seven-day cruise that departed?Long Beach, Calif., on Sunday.

HBT: MLB denies drug testing is 'fatally flawed'

Ryan Braun held a press conference earlier this afternoon, during which he said that ?the system as it was applied to me in this case was fatally flawed.?

Not surprisingly, MLB wasn?t too thrilled with how Braun characterized the program.

Rob Manfred, MLB?s executive VP of labor relations, released the following statement late this afternoon, saying that the collector handled Braun?s urine sample in ?professional and appropriate manner? and that the current testing program is not ?fatally flawed.? He also denied that the leak of Braun?s positive drug test came from the commissioner?s office.

?Major League Baseball runs the highest quality drug testing program of any professional sports organization in the world.? It is a joint program, administered by an independent program administrator selected by the Commissioner?s Office and the MLBPA.

?With regards to the breach of confidentiality regarding this case, both the Commissioner?s Office and the MLBPA have investigated the original leak of Ryan Braun?s test, and we are convinced that the leak did not come from the Commissioner?s Office.

?The extremely experienced collector in Mr. Braun?s case acted in a professional and appropriate manner.? He handled Mr. Braun?s sample consistent with instructions issued by our jointly retained collection agency. The Arbitrator found that those instructions were not consistent with certain language in our program, even though the instructions were identical to those used by many other drug programs ? including the other professional sports and the World Anti-Doping Agency.

?Our program is not ?fatally flawed.?? Changes will be made promptly to clarify the instructions provided to collectors regarding when samples should be delivered to FedEx based on the arbitrator?s decision.? Neither Mr. Braun nor the MLBPA contended in the grievance that his sample had been tampered with or produced any evidence of tampering.?

And here?s a statement from MLBPA executive director Michael Weiner, also in response to Braun?s comments:

?Our Joint Drug Program stands as strong, as accurate and as reliable as any in sport, both before and after the Braun decision. The breach of confidentiality associated with this matter is unfortunate but, after investigation, we are confident that it was not caused by the Commissioner?s Office, the MLBPA or anyone associated in any way with the Program. In all other respects, the appeals process worked as designed; the matter was vigorously contested and the independent and neutral arbitrator issued a decision deserving of respect by both bargaining parties.

?As has happened several times before with other matters, this case?has focused the parties? attention on an aspect of our Program that can be improved. After discussions with the Commissioner?s Office, we are confident that all collections going forward will follow the parties? agreed-upon rules.?

And we?re already getting some word on what one of those changes might look like. Tim Brown of Yahoo! Sports is hearing that the MLB and the MLBPA have decided that collectors will now drop specimens at Fed-Ex locations, even when shipping hours have expired. See, everything?s cool now. Nothing left to talk about.

New Health And Fitness.Org - Health Information You Can Use

With all of the different diets and workout plans available, it could be overwhelming trying to find the best route. Before you attempt to figure out how you plan to drop some weight, read the helpful tips below.

You should not consume less than three hours before your bedtime, and your snack should be light and not high in carbohydrates. The food will last you all night, keeping you from acquiring hungry before morning.

Make a fat loss plan and stay on it for successful fat burning. You are conscious that there will be times you are tempted. Consider healthier snacks you may use as a replacement for tempting foods.

The best diet for you depends on your body?s needs. When people pick low carb diets, they can see results as soon as one week after starting. However, it is important that you pick a diet plan that will fit your needs and work for you.

If you use a smaller plates and bowls while eating your meals, you?ll likely eat less. Research has revealed we tend to eat whatever is on our plate no matter the size of the portion. Smaller portions served on smaller plates will still appear to be generous servings, making you feel satisfied instead of deprived.

Try chewing some sugarless gum to help stick to your fat burning diet. How to stave off craving for food when dieting? Sugarless gum will help. That said, if you do this too often it could be unhealthy.

Keep your focus on good nutrition and not fad diets. Many fad diets lack good nutrition at best and are often even dangerous. The fat loss field is notorious for these fad diets that blossom for a short time and fade quickly. Even if these diet plan plans cause initial fat burning, they cannot create sustainable long-term fitness.

Make sure to drink enough water each day. Some of the hunger that you feel may be thirst instead.

If you feel better about your efforts, it?s easy to stay motivated. Stay on top of your objectives, and you may stay on top of losing weight.

This release is available in Spanish.

The Public University of Navarre (UPNA) and CENER (National Centre for Renewable Energy) are taking part in a joint research project on renewable energy and based on electricity microgrids which enable enhancing energy efficiency, reducing contaminant emissions, increasing safety in supply and minimising electricity losses. The project is co-financed by the Government of Navarre, and by the European Union through its FEDER Funds.

The project, known as "Design, development and implementation of microgrids in Navarre", aims to generate technology and knowledge in the field of generated energy supply and microgrids, which will subsequently enable their transfer to the industrial infrastructure in Navarre. Two electricity microgrids have already been thus installed: one, at the CENER Head Office on the Rocaforte industrial estate in Sangesa, Navarre; the other is on the Arrosadia Campus of the UPNA.

Microgrids even for cities

Microgrids are defined as a series of electrical loads, elements of generated power supply (wind, photovoltaic, fuel cell, microturbine, etc.) and storage elements (batteries, hydrogen, inertia wheel, compressed air, supercondensers, etc.) which, connected to the electric grid by means of a single point of connection, are all linked through a strategy which manages both the flow of energy within the grid as well as the interchange of power with the general supply grid. In this way, microgrids with single family dwellings, offices, industrial estates, blocks of flats, neighbourhoods or even cities can be established.

Of the two microgrids in the project, that of the UPNA, located at the Renewable Energy Laboratory of its Department of Electrical and Electronic Engineering, is aimed at generic applications and enables emulating and managing various profiles for power generation and consumption, such as single family dwellings, office buildings and small industries. It also includes the capacity to manage, in a co-ordinated manner, thermal systems that normally exist in these types of applications (heating, refrigeration and hot running water), thus forming, in the widest sense, an electrothermal microgrid. Its maximum renewable generated power is 20 kW, obtained from a wind-powered source (a wind turbine) and another photovoltaic one. Involving generator elements that can be managed, it has a 25 kW power generating set and a 5 kW fuel cell system. As regards storage, it has a 72 kWh bank of batteries, a 35.2 Nm3 hydrogen storage system and a bank of 83 F and 194 V supercondensers. Moreover, it has a programmable electronic load that enables the scale reproduction of any consumption profile.

Energy for Rocaforte industrial estate in Sangesa

The CENER microgrid is located at the Wind Turbine Test Laboratory (LEA) and is aimed at industrial applications, supplying part of the electric loads of the LEA installations themselves, as well as of part of the public street lighting of this industrial estate in Sangesa (Navarre). This microgrid boasts a representative selection of power generation, both from renewable sources (notably a roof-installed photovoltaic field and a wind turbine with 25 kW and 20 kW powers respectively), as well as systems of conventional generation, including a 48 kW diesel generator and a 30 kW gas microturbine.

Both installations have great flexibility from the conception and design phase to its launching and coming on-stream, enabling them to operate in different ways and under different settings and thus meet the demands of a top-level test bank. Also notable are the advanced systems of monitoring and control that have been developed, data gathering and registering for each and every one of the relevant electric means at the installations and which, in accord with the corresponding management algorithms, govern and supervise each one of the subsystems making up the microgrids (generation, storage and consumption). In this way they manage to establish a balance between energy generated and energy consumed, as well as the co-ordinated and efficient operation of the microgrids, whether operating connected to the electricity grid or in isolated mode.

The target of both installations is, effectively, to demonstrate the viability of microgrids as a comprehensive, integrated means of energy supply, both for industrial and residential environments, as well as serving as a test bank and laboratory for related technologies. Likewise, it will be possible to draw important conclusions enabling progress to be made in the definition of the standards and procedures for the operation of and communication between the bodies involved in the supply of grid electric energy, as well as defining the needs demanded by the incorporation and integration of these microgrids.

LG unveils style-focused Optimus L3, L5 and L7 ahead of MWC

Android Central

Following the recent announcents of the Optimus Vu and Optimus LTE Tag, LG has taken the wraps off three more Android smartphones ahead of next week's Mobile World Congress in Barcelona. The Optimus L3, L5 and L7 make up what the manufacturer calls its "L-style" series -- a series of smartphones for design-conscious consumers.

LG has outlined a new design philosophy to go along with these new products -- put simply, it's hoping you're after a slimmer, squarer handset of metal construction. From today's press release --

"L-Style’s  design philosophy is comprised of five aesthetic elements:  Modern Square Style for a comfortable grip, Floating Mass Technology for a slimmer look, Seamless Layout for a more intuitive arrangement of keys, Harmonized Design Contrast utilizing metallic accents and Sensuous Slim Shape that naturally draws one’s attention."

Eagle-eyed readers may remember the entry-level L3 from its brief appearance on a Swedish retailer's site a few weeks back -- the device was said to run Android 2.3 on a 3.2-inch display. That's been confirmed as part of LG's announcement today, though detailed hardware specs for all three devices are conspicuously absent.

In the absence of a spec list, we'll have to guess that L5 and the L7 are mid to high-end products. Both run Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich (behind LG's Optimus UI, of course), but the only specs LG is confirming at this stage are the screen sizes -- the L5 is a 4-incher, while the L7 is a little larger at 4.3. LG says the L3 is due in Europe this March, while the L5 and L7 will follow in the first half of the year.

We'll bring you more on all of LG's new handsets, including the L-style series, from the show floor next week.

PFT: Panthers' Davis eyes historic comeback

137839040_crop_650x440Getty Images

As the NFL continues to grow, it?s presence in Green Bay becomes more unique.? The small-market, publicly-owned team has thrived on the field for much of the last two decades, even as the sport has exploded to new levels of revenue and sophistication.

But the balance between a community feel and a corporate attitude can be difficult to strike, as Pete Dougherty and Rob Demovsky of the Green Bay Press-Gazette write in an new article that explores the manner in which recent changes to the organization could affect its long-standing ties to the city and the people who live there.

?[I]n the arms race for revenue, the Packers must remain rooted in the small community that spawned the team and has kept it alive through sometimes dire financial times for the last 93 years,? Dougherty and Demovsky write.

An eventual disconnect between the team and the community could have dire consequences.? One unnamed source tells Dougherty and Demovsky that, if a local stadium referendum had failed in 2000, the Packers would have moved by now.? ?If you don?t have the right players on the board and in management, there aren?t going to be an awful lot of people that will work to save [the team],? the source said.

That seems like a bit of a stretch.? With a season-ticket waiting list that extends for decades, the public in Green Bay will vote in favor of whatever needs to be done to help the team survive, and thrive, in the only hometown its ever known.

As to the tension between the community and the front office, which given the recent resignation of Jason Weid doesn?t have a Wisconsin native in one of the top two jobs with the organization, Dougherty and Demovsky point to the relationship between the team and its Hall of Fame, an independent body run by local cirizens.? When the team recently suggested taking over the Hall of Fame, its executive committee and board of directors were reportedly ?outraged.?

?The franchise has to be careful it doesn?t get too big and think, ?We don?t need people,?? an NFL source with ties to the Packers said.? ?If they lose sight of that and think everything?s hunky-dory here and [think] ?We don?t have to worry about that,? that?s an enormous mistake.? [There?s been] a connection with this team and community literally from Day 1 in 1919, and there?s not another community-team relationship like this in any sport.? Not just the National Football League, in any sport.? That?s to be treasured and is part of the unique tradition, and has to be honored.?

But the reality is that folks in Green Bay ultimately want to see the team win.? Though there may be grumbling (especially when the team isn?t winning, which doesn?t happen all that often anymore), the fans ultimately will defer to the folks who run the team.? At some point there could be a grassroots effort to hire new management, but the fans never will turn their back on the franchise.

And for that reason the franchise will continue to compete, even as the dollars get bigger and the business concepts become more convoluted.

The Government of Singapore wants to advance the course of its local industries to emerging markets and transforming economies. Many countries assist local corporations expand through cross-border financing through state-owned export-import banks (EXIMs) and export credit agencies (ECAs). The United States has the Export-Import Bank of the United States. Japan has the Japan Bank for International Cooperation (JBIC), even China and South Korea has their own.

The Government of Singapore is addressing the country?s restricted capacity for big ticket and long-tenure project financing needs in cross-border financing. To address the issue, the Government of Singapore is pushing for the creation of the Project Finance Corporation (PFC). The PFC is expected to be operational in the latter half of 2012 and will be backed by a number of stable financial institutions, including Temasek Holdings. The PFC will also include Japan?s Sumitomo Mitsui Banking Corporation, Standard Chartered Bank PLC, and Singapore DBS Group Holdings Ltd.

Ultimately, the goal of the proposed PFC is to plugs gaps in the financing of larger, long-tenure overseas projects.

From a sovereign wealth fund investor (SWF) standpoint, this is a strategic endeavor for Singapore. [Content protected for Sovereign Wealth Fund Institute Standard subscribers only. Please subscribe to view site content.]
