Grandmother Tests Limits In 100-Mile Swim From Cuba To Florida

HAVANA ? Marathon swimmer Penny Palfrey set out on a record bid to traverse the Straits of Florida early Friday, a 103-mile (166-kilometer) unassisted swim testing the limits of human endurance and the will of the high seas.

Slathered with sunblock and lubricant to prevent chafing, the British-born Australian bade farewell to onlookers, dove headfirst into the calm, bathwater-warm seas off Havana and began stroking slowly northward with a kayaker as escort.

"There's a lot of work that's gone into this over the past year," Palfrey said, thanking her husband, her team and Cuban officials who helped facilitate the trip. "It's all coming together, and so exciting to finally get to this point where we can get started."

After her departure, a member of Palfrey's crew was keeping fans up to date via social media.

"Swimming strong. Great conditions. Some jellies, but not bad," read one tweet. By late morning she had covered 7.5 nautical miles, or 8.6 miles, as Cuba disappeared from sight.

Palfrey will have to fight through physical and mental fatigue while fending off dehydration, hypothermia and dangerous marine life. She estimates that it will take 40 to 50 hours to make the crossing, and the currents will determine where in Florida she comes onshore.

If Palfrey succeeds, she'll go in the record books as the first woman to swim the Straits without the aid of a shark cage. Instead she's relying on equipment that surrounds her with an electrical field to deter the predators.

Australian Susie Maroney made the crossing in 1997 at age 22, but with a shark cage. American Diana Nyad made two unsuccessful cageless attempts last year on either side of her 62nd birthday, but had to call them off due to a debilitating asthma attack and painful Portuguese man o' war stings. She plans to try again this summer.

Palfrey, a 49-year-old mother and grandmother, is more than a decade younger than Nyad.

She was wearing a regular sporting swimsuit instead of a wetsuit, and planned to put on a porous, non-buoyant Lycra bodysuit that provides cover down to the wrists and ankles whenever jellyfish may be a threat.

That's particularly the case at night, according to her support team of more than a dozen navigators, handlers and medical personnel who were escorting her on the 44-foot (13-meter) catamaran Sealuver.

Palfrey is no stranger to jellyfish stings, which forced her to abort two past swims in Hawaii.

A 20-year veteran of distance swimming, her personal best came last year when she completed 67 miles (108 kilometers) between Little Cayman and Grand Cayman islands.

At a news conference Thursday, Palfrey said she swam competitively in her youth but only discovered ultra-long-distance swimming later in life.

"I spent my teenage years swimming and studying, and then I've spent a lot of time raising my family and supporting my husband's business," she said. "And now I feel that it's my window in life to do something that I love to do. I don't believe that I can do it much later in life so this is my opportunity now. "

Friday morning she was upbeat and focused on the task at hand as she prepared to set off from the Hemingway Marina in western Havana.

Asked about the first thing she planned to do on arrival in Florida, she laughed and said, "get out of the water."

"Beautiful sea, beautiful sunrise. It's a lovely morning in Cuba," Palfrey said. "Thanks. I'm gonna get started."

(AP) ? Georgia tailback Isaiah Crowell was dismissed from the team Friday by coach Mark Richt after the sophomore was arrested on felony weapons charges.

Police found a gun in Crowell's vehicle early Friday morning. Georgia announced the dismissal Friday afternoon. Richt's short statement in the announcement did not mention Crowell.

"We have a dedicated and committed group of men who are working hard to prepare for the coming season," Richt said. "Our total focus will be directed toward the team and this effort."

Crowell was arrested at a vehicle checkpoint on the Georgia campus at around 2:20 a.m., according to Athens-Clarke Police Department spokeswoman Hilda Sorrow. Among the charges he faces are carrying a concealed weapon and possession of a weapon on school property.

Crowell consented to a search after officers smelled marijuana in the vehicle. Police found a 9-millimeter Luger pistol under the driver's seat with an altered serial number.

Crowell was released on bond Friday afternoon.

As a freshman in 2011, Crowell led Georgia with 850 yards rushing.

Crowell, 19, came to UGA in 2011 as the top-rated running back prospect in the country out of Carver High School in Columbus, Ga. He announced he would attend Georgia by pulling out a bulldog puppy at signing day news conference.

He went on to win Southeastern Conference Freshman of the Year honors from The Associated Press.

Crowell rushed for a career high 147 yards on 30 carries to help the Georgia beat Ole Miss 27-13 last season. He eclipsed the 100-yard rushing mark on four occasions, and scored six touchdowns.

Despite his success, Crowell's freshman season also included setbacks on the field and off. He and two of his teammates were suspended for one game and missed Georgia's game against New Mexico State after they failed a drug test.

In the SEC championship game, he struggled with 10 carries for 15 yards in a 42-10 loss to LSU.

Richt said in March that he was impressed by Crowell's work ethic in the offseason. Richt said at that time the running back is "definitely growing up."

Crowell's exit will open the path for two highly rated newcomers to the team to play as freshmen. Tailbacks Keith Marshall of Raleigh, N.C. and Todd Gurley of Tarboro, N.C., were two of the top players in Richt's 2012 signing class.

Ken Malcome, Brandon Harton and fullback/tailback Richard Samuel are left as the top returning rushers.

Marshall was third, behind Malcome and Crowell, on Georgia's tailback depth chart released after spring practice.

Rugby Union: Lancaster grateful to retiring pair

Stuart Lancaster has thanked Charlie Hodgson and Lee Mears for their services to side after they retired from international rugby.

Both Hodgson and Mears have found themselves down the pecking order at fly-half and hooker respectively, with the likes of Owen Farrell, Toby Flood and Dylan Hartley favoured by the England head coach.
With the pair coming towards the end of the careers and England looking to build for the 2015 World Cup, the duo have decided to quit international rugby.
Lancaster admitted he has been in talks with Hodgson and Mears recently and it was decided that now would be the appropriate time to focus on club rugby.
He said: "I cannot thank them enough for the support they have given me and this young squad as we move forward.
"I had chats with both of them in South Africa and our thoughts were not too dissimilar - that if we are building a team for 2015 then, just as we did in January, we have to decide on which players will take us forward and be in the mix in three years' time."

Here are some betting tips from Betfair's tipsters:

Burnett, Pirates top Phillies

By ROB MAADDI

AP Sports Writer

Associated Press Sports

updated 4:10 p.m. ET June 28, 2012

PHILADELPHIA (AP) - A new catcher didn't affect A.J. Burnett's groove.

Burnett threw 6 2-3 sharp innings to win his eighth straight start, Casey McGehee hit a three-run homer and the Pittsburgh Pirates beat the Philadelphia Phillies 5-4 Thursday.

Pedro Alvarez also went deep for Pittsburgh, which split the four-game set in Philadelphia by winning the last two. The surprising Pirates, seeking their first winning season since 1992, are 40-35 and second in the NL central.

Burnett (9-2) allowed three runs and six hits, striking out seven. The winning streak is his longest, and it's the first time a Pirates pitcher has won eight in a row since Dock Ellis in 1974.

Michael McKenry caught Burnett for the first time because starter Rod Barajas is injured.

"I was really impressed with McKenry," Burnett said. "He was outstanding. I can't say enough about him. It was a pleasure to work with him. He picked up where Rod left off."

Joel Hanrahan tossed a scoreless ninth for his 20th save in 22 tries. He retired Hunter Pence on a shallow fly with the tying run on third to end it.

Eric Kratz and Pence hit homers for the Phillies.

The Pirates jumped on Kyle Kendrick (2-8) for five runs before he recorded a second out in the first.

"Gave us a chance to win, pitched deep into the game, which they needed me to," Kendrick said. "We came up short."

Drew Sutton led off with an infield single and Neil Walker walked. One out later, Garrett Jones hit an RBI single. McGehee followed with a three-run shot to left. Alvarez then lined one out to right to make it 5-0.

McGehee has five homers and 15 RBIs in June after driving in just six runs with no homers in the first two months.

"I think at one point I was trying to do too much," McGehee said. "I was with a new team trying to make a good impression. Then I went back to just trying to hit the ball up the middle of the field."

Kratz connected off Burnett in the second to cut it to 5-2.

Burnett retired nine straight before consecutive singles by Shane Victorino and Pence put runners on first and third with one out in the sixth. Placido Polanco's fielder's choice grounder scored Victorino to cut it to 5-3.

Pence led off the bottom of the eighth with a shot off Jason Grilli for his first homer since June 2 and 14th of the year. Pence snapped a 98 at-bat homerless drought.

Grilli pitched out of a jam with two runners on to preserve the lead. He struck out pinch-hitter Jim Thome and retired pinch-hitter Carlos Ruiz on a foul pop. First baseman McGehee made a nice running catch and held onto the ball after stumbling into the first row down the right-field line.

"We got some tough outs from Grilli and Joel," Pirates manager Clint Hurdle said.

Kendrick settled down nicely after the awful start. He gave up five runs and six hits in seven innings.

This was Burnett's first appearance in Philadelphia since losing to Cliff Lee and the Phillies in Game 5 of the 2009 World Series. Burnett beat Pedro Martinez in Game 2 that year and the New York Yankees prevented the Phillies from repeating as world champions by taking the Series in six games.

The Phillies finished 5-5 on their longest homestand of the season. The five-time defending NL East champions fell to last place and are 36-42, including 17-24 at home.

NOTES: Phillies designated RHP Chad Qualls for assignment and called up RHP Brian Sanches and LHP Jeremy Horst. ... 1B Ryan Howard is set to start a rehab stint at Class A Lakewood on Thursday night. The 2006 NL MVP hasn't played for the Phillies this season after tearing his left Achilles' tendon last October. ... Burnett is 6-0 on the road. ... The Pirates went back-to-back for the third time this season. ... The Phillies had their 261st straight sellout, including postseason games. ... Lee (0-4, 3.72) tries again for his first win when the Phillies open a three-game series in Miami on Friday night. ... Kevin Correia (3-6, 4.03) starts for the Pirates in St. Louis on Friday.

When we initially did our Nook Tablet / Kindle Fire battle royal, the choice between the devices for comics fans largely came down to the preference between the Marvel and DC universes. The lines, however, are blurring. Thanks to today's announcement, Justice League fans should find as much to love in the Nook Tablet and Color as Avengers devotees. DC has brought more than 100 graphic novels to the aforementioned devices and Android tablets running the Nook app. Barnes & Noble also used the opportunity to announce the new Zoom View feature, which lets readers focus on individual panels -- functionality that sounds fairly similar to what Comixology offers in its own popular app. For more information about Crisis on Infinite Nooks, check out the press release after the break.

Special Reference and Education Press: Online CNA Certification ...

It takes time and scheduling to embark on a new career, especially when schooling is involved. Much of the CNA (certified nursing assistant) training can be done online and crafted to work around your schedule. If you are considering a future as a CNA, here are some facts to consider.

Class Time

Taking online courses to prepare for the final CNA certification is no different than attending a physical class. What is refreshing, however, is the ability to schedule your classes around your life. Your setting can be your home, a library or anywhere where you are able to focus online while listening to lectures and taking notes for exams.

Subject Matter

CNA training classes consist of subjects like science, anatomy, health, physiology, infection control, medical terms, nursing skills and much more. The theoretical knowledge learned for a 6-8 week program, or approximately 75 hours can prepare you for your clinicals and ultimate CNA certification. Some online CNA training courses offer videos of real time clinicals but almost all require a certain amount of time to be spent in the field.

Accredited Schools

Many accredited schools now offer both physical and online CNA training classes. Make sure that the CNA training program you are considering is checked with the National League for Nursing Accreditation Commission or the Commission on Collegiate Nursing and Education. Selecting an online school that meets the training standards of your state can save you wasted time and a poor start toward your future. Do your homework on selecting a well-respected online school. You may even find yourself wanting to return to further your career later on because of the great instructors.

Cost of Online Classes

Although online CNA training is just as intense as a classroom environment, many online programs are cheaper. There are also plenty of grants, scholarships and private organization funding that can motivate you into entering into an online program. The best way to learn about funding is to ask through the school that you decide to sign up with. Any accredited school will have suggestions on the type and amount of funding you need.

Putting off school for lack of transportation, length of travel or scheduling is no longer a hindrance in starting CNA training. Once you discover how easy and flexible learning online can be, you will be motivated to make it to the final CNA certification and begin your career as a CNA in the medical field. Once you are armed with your CNA certification, finding a job will be easy. With skyrocketing health care costs, CNAs are a welcome sight to most medical facilities.

Exercise, even mild physical activity, may reduce breast cancer risk

Monday, June 25, 2012

A new analysis has found that physical activity ? either mild or intense and before or after menopause ? may reduce breast cancer risk, but substantial weight gain may negate these benefits. Published early online in CANCER, a peer-reviewed journal of the American Cancer Society, the findings indicate that women can reduce their breast cancer risk by exercising and maintaining their weight.

While studies have shown that physical activity reduces breast cancer risk, many questions remain. For example, how often, how long, and how intense does physical activity have to be to provide benefits? Also, do women with all body types experience a reduced risk when they exercise, and does exercise reduce the risk of all types of breast cancer?

To investigate, Lauren McCullough, of the University of North Carolina Gillings School of Global Public Health in Chapel Hill, and her colleagues looked for a link between recreational physical activity, done at different time points in life, and the risk of developing breast cancer.

The study included 1,504 women with breast cancer (233 noninvasive and 1,271 invasive) and 1,555 women without breast cancer who were 20 to 98 years old and were part of the Long Island Breast Cancer Study Project, an investigation of possible environmental causes of breast cancer.

Women who exercised either during their reproductive or postmenopausal years had a reduced risk of developing breast cancer. Women who exercised 10 to 19 hours per week experienced the greatest benefit with an approximate 30% reduced risk. Risk reductions were observed at all levels of intensity, and exercise seemed to preferentially reduce the risk of hormone receptor positive breast cancer (ER or PR positive), which is the most commonly diagnosed tumor type among American women.

"The observation of a reduced risk of breast cancer for women who engaged in exercise after menopause is particularly encouraging given the late age of onset for breast cancer," said McCullough.

When the researchers looked at the joint effects of physical activity, weight gain, and body size, they found that even active women who gained a significant amount of weight ? particularly after menopause ? had an increased risk of developing breast cancer, indicating that weight gain can eliminate the beneficial effects of exercise on breast cancer risk.

Google's Jelly Bean cup runeth over, kill grass in the process

Happy Google I/O week! Why not celebrate with a giant jelly bean or 12? The search giant clearly has some big, colorful plans for later this week, including, perhaps, another entry in its delicious parade of lawn-cluttering mobile operating system dessert foods. The above statue was spotted and posted to the Google Developers page on Google+, and it surely amounts to more than just a belated Easter celebration. We'll no doubt be hearing a lot more on the subject from Google -- and the American Dental Association -- in the days to come.

Air India anniversary marked with vigils






CKNW News Staff | Email news tips to nwnews@cknw.com
6/23/2012

27 years after the Air India disaster, family and friends of the victims are once again marking the anniversary.
Vinay Sharma is organizing a candlelight vigil in Surrey Sunday afternoon.

"As a Canadian citizen, I think it's our moral duty to keep on reminding us and our government... that things should not happen in this country anymore... and not again, at least."

Another memorial was held Saturday evening, at the Air India memorial in Stanley Park.
329 people were killed when a bomb exploded aboard flight 182 - as it passed over the coast of Ireland.
The event is seen as the worst mass murder in Canadian history.

The interest rate is on the home equity line. Will this be going up soon I just worry that it might go really high sometime. The rate is tied to the wall street prime rate. Prime 14.

Basic things about Is it smart to keep my home equity line as my primary mortgage or refinance to a 30 yr fixed

Home equity loan
A home equity loan is a type of loan in which the borrower uses the equity in their home as collateral. Home equity loans are often used to finance major expenses.

Reverse mortgage
Once the mortgage comes due the borrower or heirs of the estate will have an option to refinance the home and keep it, sell the home and cash out the equity, or turn the.

Foreclosure
To keep the right of redemption, the debtor may be able to petition the court for. of purchase) are typically non-recourse loans; however, refinanced loans and home equity.

Equity stripping
For a moderate fee or portion of the existing equity, this can keep the former homeowner in the home as a tenant while they repair their credit or increase their income.

My friend Susie who is only 12 years old wants to be an author. She has sent me a two part prologue and two chapters and its genius She is an excellent writer and a creative one too I want to know how you publish books as an author.

GinnieHeres everything a writer needs to know in order to get their foot into the door of a literary agent and give themselves a chance. Its not a guarantee but it will help in a lot of ways. This advice has been cut and pasted from My Documents and has appeared in YA more times than I can remember but its the best way to get your best foot forward. Read onWriting a book takes more than just sitting down and putting your idea into words. There are a lot of things that you have to consider. Keep an eye out for spelling and grammar errors.

Check and recheck your work. Editors are very expensive these days. When checking your work over try not to put too much trust into Spell Check if youre using MSWord or any other writing program. Words can be spelled correctly but used in the wrong context. Spell Check will not find those as being an error. Youll need to know how to write an effective query letter to a literary agent. The letter will also include a synopsis that will hold the interest of the agent and want to make him or her ask for the first three chapters of your work.

There are some publishers who will allow this but you have to make sure you follow the guidelines for submitting to a Tee. Youll need to know how to format your manuscript. This includes the fonts size and type that most agents editors and publishers want. These are usually Courier New and Times New Roman 12 pt. Short stories and novels are formatted differently. You will need to follow submission guidelines just as they are laid down for your submissions. Anything less will result in your manuscript sent back or destroyed unread.

Know how to write in First Person Point of View. Youll need to know the can and can not of each. Do you know how to write dialogue How to format dialogue This is very important and allows the author and hisher characters to communicate with the reader. Remember dialect as well. Dialect is how a person speaks. Your characters may be highly educated or dumber than dishwater. Aint got none is highly acceptable when used properly by a character who is even less than street smart. Keep in mind that its not a good idea to have two or more people speaking in the same paragraph.

Some may argue this point but to be plain and simple its not the right format. Its confusing and its very amateurish looking. Its a good idea to know some of the publishing laws. The use of names and places. These includeo Delivery Of Satisfactory Copy o Permission for Copyrighted Material o Grant Of Rights o Proofreading and Authors Corrections o Advances and Royalties o Authors Warranties and Indemnities o Copies to Author o Option ClauseLearn how to get a word count of your work. Some novels have a prologue and an epilogue.

Know what the word genre means. Horror Mystery Science Fiction These are all genres. One of the most important issues in manuscript submitting is the proper page set up for your work. This includes margins indents and paragraphs. Most editors will want to see your manuscript double spaced. This allows the editor to use hisher proofreaders marks between the lines. Most margins will be one inch all around with a ragged right margin and an even left. Are you prepared to do a lot of research involving your work Remember that many professionals such as doctors lawyers nurses public accountants judges architects bricklayers engineers and police officers read too.

The hero may be after the vampire but the mob may be after the hero as well. This is a subplot. Can you take rejection and constructive criticism If youre easily hurt in the feelings department then writing may not be your forte. Critics will tear you apart or build you up. The best writers in the world King Patterson Koontz Rowling and many others have been torn up one side and down the other. You cant please everyone. If you decide to hire an editor remember Your manuscript will be double spaced which means there will be twice as many pages.

Then theres the hourly rate that some charge. Usually its within the range of So if they work on your book for 18 hours thats another Remember that if you are a minor you cant get into a binding contract without your parents or legal guardians consent. Literary agents and publishers will remind you of this. These.

Blogging to Build Your Business - NYTimes.com

Blogging for business is not a new concept, but for many small businesses, especially service businesses, it can be an extremely effective tool to build your social media footprint, establish your brand, or position yourself in your area of expertise. The ultimate benefit of blogging is the opportunity to communicate your expertise and establish your business as a resource.

While people have been saying, ?content is king? for years, the new buzz is that ?platform is queen.? The conversation is now focusing on your marketing platform. Creating a platform is about building a social media presence, a stage for yourself to be seen above the crowd. Content is the message, but a platform provides visibility, amplification and engagement.

Social media can be great tools to drive traffic, but it is the blog that will do the most to build a platform. While there is much debate about the return on investment for time spent in social media, the results of blogging are easier to evaluate: unique visitors, comments, interactions, time on site and other social media metrics can help businesses learn about customer interests and pain points.

Recently, I sat down with Michael Hyatt, who writes a leadership blog, michaelhyatt.com. On May 22,, he released his New York Times bestseller, ?Platform: Get Noticed In a Noisy World? (Thomas Nelson), which he calls a practitioner?s guide to blogging and social media marketing. I read a review copy of the book, and while I consider myself a black-belt blogger, I learned a great deal. Any owner of a small business could benefit from this book, which is a step-by-step guide to merging traditional and new media to build a brand.

The chairman and former chief executive of Thomas Nelson Publishers, Mr. Hyatt shared his insights on how to build a platform. In fact, he?s a walking, talking example of what his book espouses. He used a blog to build the foundation of his business as an author and speaker. So how did he do it? Mr. Hyatt said he spends 90 percent of his time these days blogging and speaking. When he started, the first thing he did was to make friends with bloggers in high places. He built a community of support for his blog by sharing other people?s content ? including the postings of Seth Godin, Chris Brogan and Dave Ramsey ? and helping them sell their products.

Mr. Hyatt said that while he started his blog in 2004, it didn?t take off until 2008, when he committed to writing several days a week. In 2010, he started posting five days week, and each week one of his posts offers the transcript of a 30-minute podcast, which he also distributes through iTunes. In the last three years, his blog has gone from 1,000 readers a month to more than 300,000.

Many of his most popular posts are how-to guides to using social media and the Web. He is proof that not only can your blog help promote your business, it can even become a revenue source ? if you get really good at it. Mr. Hyatt said that his blog has several revenue streams, including advertising (banner ads and affiliate sidebar ads), sales of his e-books and speaking engagements. He said the blog generates at least $35,000 a month in revenue.

Rick Calvert, co-founder and chief executive of Blogworld, says the average blogger at his conference makes $50,000 a year from blogging ? but that doesn?t mean everyone can do it. ?Blogging is like music,? he said. ?Everybody can play the guitar, but not everyone can be famous. There are a lot of great bloggers, but they have no sense for business. You must be a content creator, business manager, sales person, do customer service, and be a community manger ? the whole package ? in order to succeed.?

Mr. Hyatt offers the following tips for blogging success:

Create the content yourself: You can?t hire a ghostwriter to blog for you. If you try, you?ll be found out and considered a poseur, which will do irreparable damage to your brand.

Start the night before: Allow your mind to start engaging on the topic in advance. Try thinking about what you are going to write the next day before you go to bed.

Go offline to write: Use a program called Anti-Social to turn off e-mail and all of your social networks so that you can focus on writing.

Set a timer: Help yourself write by setting a timer for 60 to 70 minutes to create a sense of urgency.

Start with an outline: If you start with an overview before you begin, you will just need to fill in the blanks to finish the post.

Write without editing: Don?t write and edit at the same time. Just write continuously without stopping.

Now edit yourself: Read your posts a few times, and shorten everything you can. Use simple words, short sentences and short paragraphs.

Boost your S.E.O. Mr. Hyatt suggests running the post through Scribe. It?s a monthly subscription service that analyzes content and offers suggestions to help with search-engine optimization.

I would also suggest investing in a copy editor to make sure that all spelling, grammar and syntax errors are caught before your content goes live. Blogging for business requires personal participation. You must be willing to give away your best content for free and engage in a continuing conversation for it to pay off for your business.
