Maybe this is the best recap ever of Barack Obama's campaign, taken from Obama's own speech this morning in Tampa Bay. Obama starts off by attacking Mitt Romney's economic agenda, and then momentarily can't find his own:
Obama's booklet slipped off his lectern in Tampa. "Where's my plan? Oh, it dropped. I couldn't find my plan." Picks it up and shows crowd.
— Chris Moody (@Chris_Moody) October 25, 2012
That's been the case for Obama since his campaign began in April 2011. Instead of giving voters a reason to vote for Obama, the President and his campaign have made the argument for more than 560 days of "You can't possibly be serious about the other guy." Only after getting drubbed in the first debate and unable to unring that bell in two successive debates did Obama finally cough up a semblance of a second-term agenda.
In my column for The Fiscal Times today, I argue that waiting 567 days to put out a second-term agenda is in itself a demonstration of contempt for voters. But even beyond that, the document itself is an insult to voter intelligence — and perhaps to a key constituency:
The Barack Obama reelection campaign began its operation on April 4th, 2011, nineteen months before voters decide to send him back for a second term or send him back to Chicago. In the 570 days between that day and now, Obama and the DNC have raised and spent several hundred million dollars. Obama passed his 100th fundraising event months ago.
In that time, Republicans held more than 20 debates, primaries or caucuses in all 50 states as well as in American territories. Both parties held their national conventions. The two campaigns fought in four national debates, finishing on Day 567 of the Obama campaign.
Finally, on Day 568, Barack Obama got around to telling us what he plans to do with a second term in office.
The booklet itself is mostly pictures, with no detail on some very familiar campaign pledges … most of which date back to 2008. One in particular is missing, though — immigration reform. This is a jobs-program pamphlet, but Obama has made the argument many times that immigration reform relates to jobs and the economy in key ways. He has promised immigration reform since 2007, pledging as a general-election candidate to accomplish it in his first year as President. In his picture book, there isn't even a mention of it.
Nor is there a single mention of entitlement reform:
Obama's new proposal has two glossy pages (mostly dedicated to a picture of a senior citizen) on "Protecting Retirement Security," which talks about Medicare and Social Security without ever mentioning the need to reform either, or the $100 trillion or more in unfunded liabilities in both programs. Even his convention speech went farther than this "agenda" does. "Yes, we will reform and strengthen Medicare for the long haul," Obama said on September 6th, "but we'll do it by reducing the cost of health care, not by asking seniors to pay thousands of dollars more."
The newly released 20-page pamphlet doesn't mention the word "reform" once in this section. It does go on at length about what Obama won't do to solve the problems of Medicare and Social Security ("Oppose efforts to gamble Social Security on the stock market," "Stop proposals to turn Medicare into a voucher program"). These sound a lot like Obama in debates – attempting to talk about everyone else's plans in order to distract attention from the fact that he has none of his own.
Nothing in this pamphlet can be described as a "plan," let alone an "agenda." It's a collection of slogans taken from the campaign trail that become incoherent when jammed together in this booklet, as Ed Rogers noted yesterday at the Washington Post:
A quick read of the "new" Obama blueprint for the future that the president's campaign released Tuesday, suggesting this was his bold vision for the future, is little more than silly, stale platitudes. I guess the campaign thought that it would get plenty of coverage from announcing the plan and that very few voters would bother to look at it closely.
Even the most cursory review reveals the plan to be just a bunch of glossy, flattering photos of President Obama, assertions that all is well and reiterations that Obama is for helping everybody. To me, this is another example of the Obama campaign having nothing to say.
David Harsanyi also rips the so-called "plan" for its lack of seriousness and coherence:
Even if we accepted that this is a "jobs plan" at all — and one would have to stretch the imagination — there are perhaps two items even tangentially connected to the issue at hand. Members of the middle class will be pleased to learn that their children's future will feature marginally smaller class sizes and work as a midlevel functionary in a green-energy factory. According to the president, the best way to grow the middle class outward (whatever that means) is to strive for more menial labor work in an unproductive manufacturing sector. Forward.
Obama supported cap-and-trade legislation, the sole purpose of which is to make fossil fuel more expensive, so let's dismiss his contention that the administration would concern itself with expanding oil and gas work in a second term. Let's focus instead on the green energy sector, which cannot sustain itself today — just look at the slew of clean-energy bankruptcies we've involuntarily invested in — or in the future. As The New York Times recently reported, "stimulus money is almost all gone, leaving many of these projects without a government benefactor and making them orphans in a competitive marketplace dominated by the deep-pocketed fossil fuel industries." (Deep-pocketed industries will remain deep-pocketed if they continue to offer Americans things we value — you know, like energy.)
Another foundational element of Obama's wholly unserious proposal is hiring more teachers — even though this isn't a function of the federal government to begin with and even though, according to Lindsey Burke of The Heritage Foundation, since 1970 the number of students in public schools has increased by 8 percent while the number of teachers has increased 60 percent and even though hiring more teachers would, at best, have a marginal impact on economic growth.
It's regurgitated nonsense, mostly resurrected from the 2008 campaign in a desperate attempt to shift strategies at the last minute. Its sole purpose is to reveal, finally, that this President ran out of gas intellectually and politically a long time ago — and his picture book illustrates that very well.

Provisioning mobile and digital payments through the use of tokens minimizes the risk of fraudulent use of data if the device or account is compromised. Visa Token Service is based on the EMVCo payment tokenization standard and aligns with EMV technology—the global requirement for secure payments that also protects businesses from fraud liability.
Keep up with the future of digital payments
As more consumers make purchases using a mobile device, the payments industry must deliver a safe and simple purchase experience no matter the location or device.
Token management services
- Service Enrollment: Enroll and configure your digital credit and debit products into the token service.
- Provisioning: Deliver tokens to authorized internet-connected devices and mobile applications for payment.
- Lifecycle Management: Suspend, resume or delete tokens in the payment network and on devices.
- Active Key Management: Access security and controls including domain restrictions.
- Card Metadata Manager: Manage the card data and art presented to consumers.
- Reporting: Analyze and gain insights from performance metrics and operational performance.
Visa Token Vault
Store tokens and their domain restrictions in a secure digital vault, and links tokens to a cardholder's PAN for payment processing.
Visa Risk Manager
Place controls on digital credit and debit products that enable you to respond faster to emerging fraud schemes and stop high-risk transactions.
Fast and easy integration
Simple and scalable framework
Robust protection
Payment tokenization is the process of replacing the traditional payment card account number with a unique digital token in online and mobile transactions. Tokens can be restricted for transactions with a specific mobile device, merchant, or transaction type. The tokenization process happens in the background in a way that is invisible to the consumer.
In October 2013, Visa, MasterCard and American Express proposed a new standard for digital payments. EMVCo - the global standards organization that oversees EMV specifications to ensure interoperability and acceptance - has since built on this framework with input from EMVCo's members and the industry to advance availability and adoption of tokens around the world. EMVCo published the initial version of the specification in March 2014. The development of a global standard will help enable a new generation of payment products, while maintaining compatibility with the existing payments infrastructure.
We live in a "connected" world. As more consumers make purchases online with smart phones, tablets and PCs, the payments industry is focused on delivering a safe, secure, simple and consistent consumer purchasing experience, regardless of where they are and what device they are using. The development of a global standard will help enable a new generation of payment products, while maintaining compatibility with the existing payments infrastructure.
EMVCo, the global standards organization that oversees EMV specifications, has expanded its scope to also develop tokenization specifications. EMVCo has built the framework with input from EMVCo's members and the industry as we collectively seek to advance availability and adoption of tokens around the world. EMVCo published the initial version of the specification in March 2014.

Premiere: I-Wolf – Let It Go (Ogris Debris remix)
Austrian production duo Ogris Debris reworks the upcoming single from fellow Austrian multi-talented artist I-Wolf (AKA Wolfgang Schögl) that will be released December 14th on Seayou Records. The single is a predecesor to the upcoming double "Fleshandblood/Skinandbones" which will be released early next year. Their remix takes the track into more of a shuffling house direction and it's impossible to stand still when that odd handclap based rhythm grabs you.

Ok - I confess - My name is Karen and I love to journal!
I sat in the kitchen, with my leg up on a chair, and started to write about her achievements this year. Before you could say 'Jack Robinson' I had written 2 A4 pages. Now I know our girl is fabulous but how big is this mini book going to be? Not being enough for all that writing, I can tell you. So I got to thinking about how sometimes I can write 2 pages and sometimes I have trouble coming up with a title for a page. I have concluded that it all comes down to how emotional I feel at the time. I pour out my heart onto my pages at times and journal about the good and the bad things.
about how my life changed once I became a mother
and about how we felt when we finally held Gracia in our arms for the first time.
The title of this page which is below the journalling is - I loved you in a heartbeat.
Reasons to be cheerful:-
1. Good friends who know exactly what you need and when you need it - thank you Eileen.
2. Kiera and I managed the short circuit a little quicker today - every day in every way I am getting better!
3. Writing about her achievements make me appreciate my girlie even more.

Cookie pizza with fruit
American Heart Association, Dave Burns of Merrimack Mortgage
Vegetable oil spray
1/2 cup firmly packed light brown sugar
1/4 cup light tub margarine
1/4 cup unsweetened applesauce
Egg substitute equivalent to 1 egg, or 1 large egg
1 tsp. vanilla extract
1 cup uncooked quick-cooking oats
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1 tsp. baking powder
8 ounces light or fat-free cream cheese, softened
1/4 cup all-fruit strawberry spread
6 drops red food coloring (scant 1/2 tsp.)
2 medium red plums, thinly sliced
2 medium green kiwifruit, peeled and thinly sliced (about 1 cup)
1 cup mandarin oranges in water or light syrup, drained (about 6 ounces)
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Spray a large baking sheet with vegetable oil spray. Set aside.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the brown sugar, margarine, applesauce, egg and vanilla for 30 seconds, or just until the ingredients are incorporated.
Using a spoon, stir in the oats, flour and baking powder until the oats and flour are just moistened. (The dough will be soft and moist. Do not overmix, or the cookie crust will be tough.) Transfer the dough to the baking sheet. Using a thin spatula, spread the dough into a 12-inch circle about one-quarter inch thick.
Bake for 12-14 minutes or until golden brown. Transfer the baking sheet to a cooling rack. Let cool for 30 minutes.
In a medium mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese, strawberry spread and food coloring with an electric mixer on medium-high speed for 1 to 2 minutes or until smooth. Using a spatula, spread over the pizza. Decoratively arrange the plums, kiwifruit and mandarin oranges on the cream cheese mixture.
To serve, cut into 12 wedges.

Californians can soon register to vote completely online. Paperless registration will be available to anyone who has a California driver's license or ID.
Since 2009 Californians have been able to go online and fill out a form as part of the voter registration process. But signatures had to be mailed or delivered to county elections officials. Secretary of State Debra Bowen will soon roll out the next step, which would allow Californians who have a driver's license or ID to hit "send" at the end of their online form.
"With a generation that is almost born with their thumbs on a keyboard it's second nature for them to do things online, so I think it's going to be very effective."
Bowen says more than 500,000 Californians have registered using the online form, she expects the next step to attract even more. She says online voter registration helps improve accuracy by eliminating typos or misread handwriting. And county elections officials should save time and money on data entry.

FSIS Launches New Web Page Designed for Small and Very Small Plants
The U.S. Department of Agriculture's (USDA) Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) has added one more way to stay informed about small and very small plant issues with the launch of a Web page dedicated to these establishment categories.
A working group with representatives from different FSIS offices developed this page to address one of the key action items included in the FSIS Strategic Implementation Plan for Strengthening Small and Very Small Plant Outreach.
The new Web page covers topics such as current food safety resources, regulatory policies, contact information, compliance guidelines, common questions and export information. It also covers FSIS directives and notices, newsletters and magazines. One highlight is a feature titled "What Do You Need to Know Today?" which will change often to answer some of the questions most frequently asked by small and very small plant owners and operators.
Seven task-oriented links to hot topics and important resources for small and very small plants are also included.
These links allow users to order small and very small plant resource materials, find information on food safety inspection, view FSIS workforce training resources, create a food defense plan, review guidance material in support of new technology and subscribe to newsletters and other publications.
The user-friendly page is accessible from anywhere on FSIS' Web site. Click on the Small & Very Small Plants page, which is located in the left column under the pull-down tab for "Browse By Audience."

Protecting Consumers from BSE: How to Remove Specified Risk Material
How do operators of slaughter and processing facilities go about removing specified risk materials (SRMs) from cattle carcasses? FSIS is pleased to make available a new DVD, which provides operators of small, very small, and custom-exempt slaughter and processing facilities detailed guidance on how to comply with agency regulations concerning removal of SRMs.
The New York State Department of Agriculture and Markets, under a cooperative agreement with FSIS, developed this training and reference guide titled "Specified Risk Material, Identification, Removal and Disposal." The DVD provides diagrams and other references as well as a 17-minute video providing a step-by-step, hands-on demonstration on how a typical, very small facility removes SRMs and complies with the regulations.
SRMs are inedible and cannot be used in human food. They must be removed from edible portions of carcasses because they carry a higher risk for transmitting the infectious agent (i.e., prion) associated with Bovine Spongiform Encephalopathy (BSE). SRMs include the brain, skull, eyes, trigeminal ganglia, spinal cord, dorsal root ganglia, and vertebral column (excluding the vertebrae of the tail, the transverse processes of the thoracic and lumbar vertebrae, and the wings of the sacrum) in cattle 30 months of age and older; and the tonsils and distal ileum in all cattle regardless of age. This prohibition is a public health measure that applies to all facilities that slaughter and process cattle for human food use.
The SRM requirement is one of three control measures FSIS first imposed on beef slaughter and processing over 3 years ago to protect the public from BSE. After the U.S. government confirmed in December 2003 that an imported cow had BSE, FSIS quickly published, on January 12, 2004, emergency interim rules to protect public health from potential BSE-contaminated animal tissues.
In addition to identifying SRMs as inedible and ineligible for human food, FSIS also prohibited the use of non-ambulatory disabled cattle (aka "downer" cattle) for human food. Non-ambulatory disabled cattle have a significantly higher rate of BSE infection than healthy cattle, based on studies conducted in Europe, and if offered for slaughter must be condemned and prevented from being slaughtered for use as human food. Other control measures included the prohibition on the use of high-pressure stunning devices because such pressure-driven devices can translocate SRM tissues into edible tissues.
The final version of the SRM rule, which closely resembles the interim final rule, was published in the Federal Register on July 13, 2007, and will become effective October 1, 2007. Of note, there are new requirements related to the removal of the spinal cord from carcasses during the slaughter operation. Also, there are new record keeping requirements related to the handling and removal of the vertebral column from beef loins if the bone-in product is shipped to another Federal establishment for further processing to remove the SRMs.
For more information on the final rule or to obtain a copy of the DVD, "Specified Risk Material, Identification, Removal and Disposal," call (202) 690-6520 or send a fax to (202) 690-6519.

FSIS to Host Web Seminars
FSIS is reaching out to small and very small plants through four Web seminars during the third and fourth quarters of 2007.
This initiative was developed by the Outreach Task Force, comprised of representatives from each FSIS program area and directed by Executive Associate Dr. Karlease Kelly. The task force has been working on creating ways to streamline access to important regulatory information and improve its delivery to the owners and operators of small and very small plants.
These meetings follow up on last year's Regulatory Education Sessions. The 2-hour sessions were given across the United States, and were held at night or on weekends so plant owners or employees were free to participate without having to miss work.
Recent Web seminars have covered topics such as FSIS compliance guidelines for the production of safe meat and poultry jerky products, and controlling Salmonella in small and very small plants that produce raw poultry products.
Future seminar topics include an update on the new rule related to Bovine Spongiform Encephalopathy and specified risk materials removal, basic sanitation procedures, new technology and labeling. Call (202) 690-6520 to obtain more information about previous and upcoming seminars; or to register, go to the following Web page at www.fsis.usda.gov/News_&_Events/Outreach_Sessions_SVS_Plants/index.asp.

Editorial Column: Committed to Outreach In More Ways Than One
One of the most important responsibilities of Federal agencies that deal with safety issues—whether food or aviation—is to keep the greater public aware of important developments that can eliminate hazards and improve life. USDA's Food Safety and Inspection Service uses a wide range of technologies to inform and educate, such as an interactive telephone hotline and Web site, printed materials, and regular communication with the public through mass media.
We also have a responsibility to you, the industry we regulate. FSIS ensures safe meat, poultry and processed egg products in nearly 6,000 plant locations around the country as well as at each port of entry for foreign foods that fall under our jurisdiction. Even more surprising is that over 90 percent of these plants are considered small or very small businesses.
Over the past two decades the communication emphasis has increasingly been on electronic information through computers and the Internet. There certainly is a tendency to think that everyone is reachable through some electronic means.
Well, an interesting thing happened here recently.
First, some background. There are about four dozen FSIS formal food safety-related documents pertaining to virtually every conceivable plant situation-from controlling Salmonella bacteria to preventing mad cow disease. Of course, most of the publications discuss the Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points, or HACCP, the gold standard for food safety. The documents have been bundled into a small brochure titled "Food Safety Resources." The brochures were mailed to every address in FSIS' directory of plants offering any or all of the regulatory and scientific material without any charge or handling fees. All respondents had to do to get information was mail or fax in their request to us and provide their company name, address and phone number.
Our mailing yielded a success rate eight times greater than the industry average, which is a 1 percent return on every 100 mailings. More importantly, in excess of 10,000 FSIS food safety documents were mailed out to recipients, many of whom requested everything in the brochure, which also included food defense materials.
The success of a single mailing demonstrated to us that we may be living in an electronic world but sometimes paper is indispensable. We plan future mailings to reach this important target market. If, for some reason, you're a small business owner who did not receive our invitation to a wealth of food safety information, then you can order online at www.fsis.usda.gov/Science/HACCP_Resources_Order_Form/index.asp
The old-fashioned way works, too, by simply calling (202) 690-6520 and requesting the brochure or additional information.
We've also enhanced and customized the pages on our Web site devoted to small business at www.fsis.usda.gov/Small_Very_Small_Plants/index.asp and we are producing this new newsletter specifically targeted to small and very small plants that will be mailed directly to you.
Sometimes an issue is so intractable that we need to be walked through the answer by another knowledgeable voice. Industry can also get answers to FSIS-related questions by calling our Policy Development Division at 1-800-233-3935. All these options demonstrate our commitment to be accessible in as many formats as possible because ensuring food safety is one of the most vital services FSIS can provide.

Commonly Asked Question & Answer
Q. Am I required to document SSOP and HACCP corrective actions on the NR, or do I have to write them on my company record?
A. The requirement in 9 CFR 416.16 and 417.3(c) is that you document Sanitation SOP and HACCP corrective actions. The establishment can document these corrective actions on its records or on the NR. If the documentation is on the NR, the NR becomes part of the HACCP or Sanitation SOP records and is required to meet the recordkeeping requirements of those regulations.

Katy Perry
Oct 17, 2011
Katy Perry, born in Santa Barbara, California, and raised by Christian pastor parents, Perry grew up listening to only gospel music and sang in her local church as a child. After earning a GED during her first year of high school, she began to pursue a career in music. As Katy Hudson, she released a self-titled gospel album in 2001, which was unsuccessful. She later recorded an album with production team The Matrix and completed the majority of a solo album from 2004-05, the later of which was never released. Perry is the first female artist to get five hits on the Billboard Hot 100 in one year.
After signing with Capitol Music Group in 2007, her fourth record label in seven years, she adopted the stage name Katy Perry and released her first Internet single "Ur So Gay" that November, which garnered public attention but failed to chart. She rose to fame with the release of her second single "I Kissed a Girl" in 2008, which went on to top international charts. Perry's first mainstream studio album One of the Boys followed later that year and subsequently became the 33rd-best selling album worldwide of 2008. It was accredited platinum certification by the Recording Industry Association of America, while "I Kissed a Girl" and her second single "Hot n Cold" both received multi-platinum certifications.
Her second studio album Teenage Dream was released in August 2010 and debuted at number one on the Billboard 200. The album included the Billboard chart-toppers "California Gurls", "Teenage Dream", "Firework", and "E.T." and "Last Friday Night (T.G.I.F.)". The album produced five Hot 100 toppers, and was only the second album-after Michael Jackson's Bad-to do so. With "E.T." at number one on the chart of May 12, 2011, Perry became the first artist in history to spend 52 consecutive weeks in the top 10 of the Billboard Hot 100.
"The One That Got Away" is a mid-tempo pop ballad about a lost love released as Perry's sixth single off the album. It impacted U.S. Top 40/Mainstream radio on September 28 and Rhythmic radio on October 11, 2011. It's set to impact Hot/Modern/AC radio on October 31, 2011.

If you're a Kindle Fire owner painfully jealous of the new Nexus 7, here's something to make you feel a little better: you can now install Android 4.1 Jelly Bean on your tablet.
Since launch the Fire has been hacked left, right and center, but now developer Hashcode has ported Google's latest mobile OS to the device. There is a very thorough walk-through of how to go about installing it at Liliputing.
Obviously, the usual caveats apply: because you're going to be rooting your device and installing custom software, you need to be confident you can see it through to completion. And be aware that you might brick the device. Also, it's worth pointing out that this first build doesn't support hardware video acceleration, and it can occasionally be difficult to enable Wi-Fi. Still, Hashcode hopes to iron those problems out real soon.
While the install won't turn your Fire into a tablet as good as the Nexus 7—Google's device is faster, has a better display, and is just, well, better—it's a step up from the Gingerbread-based OS it's probably currently running. [XDA Developers via Liliputing]

Saint Edmund Arrowsmith
- Brian Arrowsmith
- Edmund Bradshaw
- Edmund Rigby
- 28 August
- 25 October as one of the Forty Martyrs of England and Wales
- 29 October as one of the Martyrs of Douai
Son of the farmer Robert Arrowsmith and Margery Gerard Arrowsmith. His rebel parents refused to attend Protestant services, harbored priests in their home, and at one point were arrested for their actions, and dragged away in the night, leaving the child Edmund alone. Entered Douai College in 1605; he was forced to quit due to ill health. Ordained in France in 1611. Worked among beleaguered English Catholics in Lancashire for 15 years. Even in those oppressive times he was known for his pleasant disposition, sincerity, and energy.
Queen Elizabeth's governors and hierarchy lived on confiscated Catholic property, so public distrust of priests as agents of Catholic Spain working for a Spanish invasion, worked to their advantage, keeping the population in a constant state of paranoia, dependant on an intrusive government. To keep all this in place, Elizabeth had her own Inquisition. Edmund was arrested in 1622 for his faith, and spent his prison time arguing theology with the local Protestant bishop.
Edmund was unexpectedly freed by a pardon issued by King James I. After making the Spiritual Exercises, Edmund entered the Jesuits in 1623, and returned to Lancashire for the remaining five years of his life. Betrayed by the son of the landlord of the Blue Anchor Inn in south Lancashire, he was arrested by priest hunters, and imprisoned for his vocation. He decided to let the court prove the charge rather than help them with a confession, replying, "Would that I were worthy of being a priest!" When the jury found him guilty of being a Jesuit priest, he exclaimed, "Thanks be to God!" Brought to execution, he prayed for everyone in the kingdom, then said, "Be witnesses with me that I die a constant Roman Catholic and for Christ's sake; let my death be an encouragement to your going forward in the Catholic religion." His confession on the day of his execution was heard by fellow-prisoner Saint John Southworth, and his final words were "Bone Jesu" (O good Jesus).
- 1585 at Haydock, Lancashire, England as Brian Arrowsmith
- his confirmation name was Edmund, and he preferred to use it
- hanged, drawn, and quartered on 28 August 1628 at Lancaster, England
- his hand is preserved as a relic at Saint Oswald's Church, Ashton-in-Makerfield, England
- 8 December 1929 by Pope Pius XI (decree of martyrdom)

FORREST H. NIELSEN, Ph.D.
Dr. Nielsen grew up on a small dairy farm in central Wisconsin, and received his Bachelor's degree in 1963, Master's degree in 1966, and Doctor of Philosophy degree in 1967, all in Biochemistry, from the University of Wisconsin, Madison. After completing two years of military service with the U.S. Army's Medical Research and Nutrition Laboratory in Denver, CO, Dr. Nielsen, as a Research Chemist, was the first staff member hired for the present day Grand Forks Human Nutrition Research Center, and arrived in Grand Forks shortly before the building officially opened in 1970. He served as Center Director from June, 1985, to March, 2001. In his current position as a Research Nutritionist, he is determining whether sub-clinical magnesium deficiency through exacerbating chronic inflammation is a significant factor in the occurrence of chronic disease, particularly bone loss leading to osteoporosis, associated with obesity.
Past research of Dr. Nielsen focused on determining the needs for essential nutrients for and beneficial action of bioactive trace minerals on bone health, cardiovascular function, and neuropsychological function. Dr. Nielsen's current research program is focused on determining whether bone health adversely affected by obesity-induced chronic inflammation is exacerbated by pro-inflammatory factors (e.g., magnesium deficiency).
Senior member of the team that produced evidence that boron is a beneficial, perhaps essential nutrient for higher animals. Found that boron deprivation is detrimental to trabecular bone micro-architecture and cortical bone strength, and adversely affects behavior in experimental animals.
Produced evidence that boron has diverse beneficial effects through influencing the formation and/or utilization of S-adenosylmethionine, which participates in a variety of biochemical processes. Found that boron deprivation increased circulating homocysteine (a product of S-adenosylmethionine utilization), which has been associated with osteoporosis and mental disorders.
Produced evidence that boron has diverse beneficial effects through influencing the formation and/or utilization of S-adenosylmethionine, which participates in a variety of biochemical processes. Found that boron deprivation increased circulating homocysteine (a product of S-adenosylmethionine utilization), which has been associated with osteoporosis and mental disorders.
Senior member of a team that showed boron is a bioactive element that has beneficial, possibly essential, actions in humans. Found that supplementation of a low boron diet with an amount of boron commonly found in diets high in fruits and vegetables improved cognitive and psychomotor functions, modified calcium and magnesium metabolism, and enhanced and mimicked some of the effects of estrogen therapy.
Senior member of a team that showed for the first time that sub-clinical magnesium deficiency, induced by low dietary intake alone, has adverse effects in humans. Magnesium deprivation caused heart rhythm abnormalities, energy inefficiency during controlled exercise, and altered calcium metabolism.
Led the research effort showing that low magnesium intakes similar to that of 10% of adults older than 51 years are associated with increased chronic inflammatory stress and changes in bone composition associated with increased bone loss and decreased bone strength.
Led the research effort that found a sub-clinical zinc deficiency with copper intakes just above the estimated average requirement resulted in heart rhythm abnormalities and increased oxidative stress in postmenopausal women.
Led the research effort that showed silicon enhances wound healing and immune function. Found that silicon affects mainly trabecular bone turnover and structure, apparently through affecting collagen metabolism and cytokine action.
Produced evidence that nickel is a beneficial bioactive element in higher animals. Found that nickel deprivation in experimental animals affects the response to deficient intakes of vitamin B-12 (can affect central nervous system function), can increase blood pressure, and exacerbates the response to a high salt intake.

Kyma is a contemporary seafood tavern with an inventive yet approachable menu that is true to its Mediterranean origins. Kyma's dazzling constellation display on the deep blue ceiling, white marble columns, and bold fresh fish display are dramatic while the inviting patio offers an ideal setting for savoring a glass of Greek wine. Fresh, healthy food (including full vegetarian and vegan menus), attentive Mediterranean hospitality and festive atmosphere await at Kyma.
Pano Karatassos Jr. and his team know the delicate business of bringing gorgeous flavor to their dishes. This food is creativity prepared and made all the more pleasing by the compatibility of the wine pairings. Our server, Jessica and the manager Nicholas were both gracious and appropriately attentive and helpful in describing the particulars of each dish. They were knowledgeable and infectiously enthusiastic about the menu and the wines being served."
"Every menu suggestion from our bartender was spot on. He was amazing in menu knowledge and one of the most hospitable bartenders I have ever met. The host who delivered each item from the kitchen knew every detail about each plate being served and delivered them all with a smile on his face and proud of what he was serving. I wish I could bottle their passion about Kyma as this something you do not see in many restaurants these days."
"Kyma is one of our favorite, consistently good restaurants—a lovely place to go alone or with friends, to enjoy the evening, the food, and the company. Great for fish, just a lovely, easy choice."

We here at Rays Index are big fans of the folks over at Deadspin.com. As part of a baseball preview, they have a regular post called "Four Tiny Tidbits On:". They love our D-Rays so, much they have actually have run two posts, "Four Tiny Tidbits On: The Devil Rays" and "Four More Tiny Tidbits On: The Devil Rays". Most sequels never live up to the hype nor the substance of the original. Usually the budget is better, so the explosions are bigger and the special effects are more spectacular, but the story is lacking (ie. Mission Impossible 2). In fact, only three sequels have won the Academy Award for Best Picture. Can You name them? (answer at the end of this post) Well, in this case the sequel has outdone the original. Maybe it is just too easy to find funny tidbits about the Devil Ray players and organization. At least the Rays aren't as boring as the Twins, who only garnered "Three Tiny Tidbits On: The Twins".
Answer: The Godfather 2 (1974), Silence of the Lambs (1991), Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King (2003).

[Pages 21-23]
It is my powerful desire in this article to resurrect alley of my youth and to mourn the cradle of my childhood in my father's home. From here I derive my great strength. Home - which will never leave my heart. Time has the capacity to heal, but never to uproot that which is deep in my soul. As time passes, the horrors of that time will only deepen and they will guide our attempts at rest.
I would like to describe things which characterized the life of our town. Skalat was not only a town of Jews. It had a large Christian population, which limited our activities and made our lives harder. We the Jewish youth, grew up among this mixed and hostile population.
First our adolescence, in the activities of the Zionist youth movements. We rebelled against the accepted and the routine. We rebelled against our parents, who did not encourage the Zionist notions. Our ally was the Hebrew School, which showed the way for the young people who so much wished to go to Eretz Israel. We learned the Hebrew language and its literature.
In the Zionist youth centers, which our parents forbade us to visit, we wove our secret dreams of Zionist fulfillment. Our very assembly expressed our rejection of the public school, where we felt exactly who we were and how unwanted were by the Christian community. That was the beginning of the great tragedy, which we did not sufficiently comprehend. Among the millions anihilated were the Jews of Skalat.
Another experience which I recall across the expanse of time, a great experience for all the Jews of Skalat - the visit of the Rebbe. Every year, before the Shavuoth holiday, the Rebbe of Husiatyn would visit our town. The city rejoiced as this was a ray of light in our overcast, everyday existence. A deep happiness mingled with our gray struggle for survival. Every heart yearned for the Rebbe's blessing, his encouragement, his advice.
We felt close to the expression of Hassidic exuberance. We drew it into our daily activities on behalf of the new ideologies which filled us, the ideals of aliyah and fulfillment.
From here, to the Zionist youth of our city. Zionist activiity was expressed in the funds - the Keren Kayyemet Fund, the Keren HaYesod Fund - and the idea of Zionist fulfillment in Eretz Israel. All the Zionist parties - Betar, General Zionists, Mizrahi, Hitahdut - took part in these activities, each in its own way. They had a common goal - building Eretz Israel.
In Hitahdut - of which the pioneering organization Gordonia was a part - I myself was active and I dedicated my best energies to its programs. Many of the youth of Skalat found in Gordonia both interest and content. Youth came to Gordonia from all levels of the community. We found a listening ear." Many of the youth who had endured hardship as children, found the youth programs to be a sort of compensation and a source of joy in creation.
It was clear to us that without deepening our awareness of the movement," we would not suceed in fulfilling our ideas. We organized sumer camps and meetings, to which we would escape every xchance we had. It took much courage to fulfill our program. The community did not always understand our spirit and our desires. Jewish youth from petit-bourgeois homes, preparing themselves for a life of agriculture in Eretz Israel - this was a revolution which our parents could never understand.
We organized a preparatory farm in the Skalat area. And we went firther afield for our training. We fought and suceeded. We passed this tradition to our children who guard the freedom of our land even today.
Let these words be a memorial candle to my parents, my brothers, my sisters, and to all the Jews of Skalat who walked the road of torture and sorrow, depressed and downtrodden.
I remember with greatest disgust those who in a rush to save their own lives, sent their dear ones to their deaths and collaborated the Nazi murderers in their evil works.
I will not forget my father's house, my mother's Sabbath candles and her teary face as she poured out her bitter heart in prayer and supplication.

The shoah victims database is an ongoing international project to reconstruct the names and life stories of the 6 million Jews who died in the Holocaust. Yad Vashem gathered the database's current 3 million names from historical documentation, existing smaller lists of victims and Pages of Testimony cards. Since Yad Vashem was established in Jerusalem in 1953, victims' family members and friends have remembered their loved ones by completing these one-page identity cards with information such as names, dates and places of birth, prewar residences, professions, parents' and spouses' names, and dates and places the people died. (If you know of a Holocaust victim who isn't listed in the database, you can submit his or her name right from the Yad Vashem Web site — an online form allows you to fill out a Page of Testimony and, if you have one, attach a photo or document.)
Shoah database users can search on a victim's name, birth city, place of last known residence, death camp or the name of the submitter. The database offers dozens of variations for each name entry to account for different spellings, languages and nicknames.
According to Yad Vashem, searchers of its database reside in 163 countries — 39 percent are from Israel; 33 percent from nations in North American; 24 percent from Europe; and 4 percent from the rest of the world.

Rob Donald called it back in May: "I am totally expecting to see ... a perfect recreation of The Last Supper in someone's end zone." The Backbreaker producer hasn't been proven right yet, but one artist is hard at work.
User Red Ronin is building out the "Nazareth Christians," for the football title, which boasts a very deep team customization engine. The team's uniform and logo scheme have already been resolved but its end zone art will take a little more doing. That at left is the portrait of Christ as of Sunday, so this won't be finished any time soon. In fact, Leonardo, when he wasn't fixing weapons and decoding pages for Ezio, took three years to paint The Last Supper on a wall at the monastery of Santa Maria delle Grazie in Milan. So let's stand back and let the master finish.
To see the Christians' uniform designs, head over to the link. Oh, and when Red Ronin's done with Nazareth, I have their fight song all picked out:

Growing talent is a top priority for most companies, yet identifying sure-fire solutions is daunting. No wonder "growing talent internally" was the number one strategy cited by CEOs in The Conference Board CEO Challenge® 2013 survey, to address their top challenge: human capital. Many leaders are frustrated that their company's talent growth has not kept pace with the needs of the business, despite considerable investments. Is there an overlooked and practical solution? Yes.
Join us for our August Book Discussion webcast as we welcome Wendy Axelrod, Ph.D. and Jeannie Coyle, Managing Partners of Talent Savvy Manager, LLC, who will discuss their book, Make Talent Your Business: How Exceptional Managers Develop People While Getting Results. Expect to learn why and how your managers are the ultimate resource for internal talent growth, using the work itself as the source of development. Wendy and Jeannie went in search of managers who were exceptional at developing their workforce (from companies such as Corning, Intel, Merck, Kraft, Siemens, Marriott, Microsoft, and Wells Fargo). Their book, Make Talent Your Business, offers the five practices that these managers have used, and that are currently being adapted by many other companies, to spur talent growth.
Brian Powers, Ph.D., senior fellow, human capital at The Conference Board will moderate this discussion, important to any business manager who is looking for methods to improve performance, increase engagement, and develop significant new capabilities in their employees.
Audience: Human Capital professionals charged with talent management, employee engagement, leadership development, strategic human resources, strategic workforce planning, workforce readiness, diversity & inclusion, or human capital analytics would benefit from this webcast.

Kanye West's girlfriend gave birth to Kanye West's baby the other day. Beyonce posted a message on her Tumblr to congratulate them. Which we're supposed to take as evidence that they don't hate each other although I take it more to mean that it was out of respect for Kanye. You can click here to see the photo she chose. We don't post photos about Kanye West's girlfriend here at LaineyGossip.com. This is the dilemma Duana and I were discussing over email today.
Because while we don't care about Kanye West's girlfriend, we do care about names. We judge celebrity baby names. It's a regular feature on this blog. Here's Duana's note to me this morning:
"....and of course I am waiting on the baby name. You know. That one."
And my response:
"(Even though) we don't cover that person on the blog, the name might be too good (meaning bad) to ignore. What to do?"
As you can see, we don't even refer to her by name in personal correspondence.
What we decided, per Duana:
"We covered Kanye, and his NYT article, right? And him being him? And what Beyonce might think? I think it's fair game, then. Unless it's Emma."
Well, we know it won't be Emma. If they don't go with an obvious "K" name, Duana is leaning Greek, like Persephone. Or if they go with the alliteration, Du thinks maybe Windermere West. (She is one of my dearest friends but sometimes I don't know where she comes up with this crazy sh-t which is what makes her the expert and not me. By the way, we had a fight about names this weekend -- AGAIN -- over the correct pronunciation of Bellatrix Lestrange. Her first name, not the last. The way Duana insists it's pronounced is so ridiculous, writing it out for you wouldn't do it justice. Duana, here! 1:25!)
Anyway, someone tweeted at me the other day predicting it would be Kleopatra and to me this is not a bad guess -- self-aggrandising, extra, over the top. Still others are predicting that it'll be a direction like "South West". Duana doesn't believe it'll be that minimalist.
So here's your warning. Once it comes out, that name, there will be a discussion. And it will be fun. Discussing the name of the child, I mean, and not mentioning the name of the mother.

Mystery Movies: THE SAVAGE RIDERS (1973) and TORNADO ON WHEELS (?)
THE SAVAGE RIDERS was submitted to the MPAA in 1973 (by Pioneer World Distributors) and received an R rating, but we have nothing for TORNADO ON WHEELS. We're hoping one of these turns out to be the elusive MOTORCYCLE MASSACRE.

State of the Temple Address 5
So what the hell happened? Well, we took off on a month-long cross-country road trip back in April, and right about the time we were strolling into the Billy the Kid Museum in Fort Sumner, NM, we got a call from Quasi-Schlocko that all hell had broken loose back at the Temple. Instead of returning promptly to take care of business, we boldly (stupidly?) pushed on, hitting the Cowboy and Western Heritage Museum in Oklahoma City, Graceland and Stax and Sun Records in Memphis, the Buford Pusser Home & Museum in Adamsville, the Shiloh and Chickamauga battlefields, and a bunch of other places we'll post about eventually if we ever clear up the shitstorm that erupted in our absence and is still swirling around us.
The long and short of it: We have to move out of this Temple into a new Temple, so don't expect any kind of consistent posting from us until September, 'cause all the good stuff is boxed up and in storage.

Contest: Win the "Party Animals for Hire" comic book!
Our long-time pal Mike Wood, who's determined to not become that guy Steely Dan is singing about in "What a Shame about Me," has collaborated with artist Ed Suckling on a very entertaining comic book titled Party Animals for Hire, Part 1: The Net is Cast. From the back cover: "In their first collaboration since the international crowd-pleaser You. Me. Let's Hug!, Ed Suckling and Mike Wood return to triumphant form with this biting satire that has everything you could conceivably want in a comic book, and possibly more. Movie stuntmen, courtroom mayhem, big hairy animals…it's all here, including one helluva plucky heroine! But be warned…you might just end up caught in the net!"
Mike and Ed were nice enough to send us an extra copy of their book, so we're going to have a drawing on the 4th of July and give it away to one lucky Temple of Schlock subscriber.
Contest rules? There's only one: If you're already following us on Blogger, you'll automatically be entered, but anyone else who wants in on this action needs to either become one of our Worshippers (Followers) or drop us an e-mail that includes your name in the message area and "comic book contest" in the subject line. If Quasi-Schlocko picks your name out of the -- er, whatever hat, box or nearby bucket he's planning to use for this drawing -- we'll contact you and ask for your mailing address so we can send the book out to you by the end of next week. Cool? OK, so get to it! Let's see some new faces at this party!

DRHOOK- Not kidneying: When they slow, you slow
Pâté is not politically correct food because of what is done to poor Mrs. Goose. Personally, I think eating liver is like eating toenails or something. But then again some people eat pig's feet, so we all have our preferences.
Back in Kenton, Ohio, my terrorizing classmates would ridicule me when I told them I ate foods like octopus and squid. (I should have told them I ate calamari. Ah, what's in a name!) (By the way, Sarah– my best friend from Kenton– told me there is a Chinese restaurant in Kenton! I immediately bought a lottery ticket upon hearing this news because miracles do happen.)
Another food I cannot swallow is kidney pie. It sounds like apple pie, my favorite pie, but kidneys.... What would we do without our kidneys?
Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) affects about 1 in 9 American adults– that's 20 million. Many people are unaware that they have CKD, but it is important to have it managed well, managed now.
The majority of people with CKD have diabetes, and with the increasing rate of obesity more people are becoming diabetic, an un-sweet fact. High blood pressure, another risk factor for CKD, usually doesn't have any symptoms, so many people don't take their BP meds. But that is kind of like thinking, "Well, my car is running fine, so I won't change the oil." (An ounce of new oil is worth a pound of bills to fix your damaged car.)
Other risks include family history of kidney disease, autoimmune diseases like lupus, kidney stones, toxic drugs to the kidneys, and older age. Also CKD is seen more in US minorities compared to Caucasians. African Americans, American Indians, Hispanics, and Asian or Pacific Islanders have a higher prevalence of CKD, perhaps because of hypertension and the unbelievable increase in diabetes seen in these groups of people.
The kidneys need to be healthy to keep you healthy. So when they are not working well, quality of life tends to decrease. A complaint I hear quite often is, "Doc, I just don't have the energy I used to have." Studies have shown those with CKD are hospitalized more often. Life expectancy is not as good with CKD.
For those who progress to End-Stage Renal Disease (ESRD), there is a Medicare-funded program. In 1973, there were 10,000 beneficiaries and by the end of 2004 there were... 472,099 beneficiaries. The number is higher not so much because dialysis patients are living longer but because new patients are entering the program. In 2004, it was estimated about $32.5 billion was spent on the Medicare ESRD program, and by 2010 it might be $28 billion more. That's a lot of kidney failure!
In CKD, the diseased kidneys let proteins slip into the urine too much, so a urine test shows high albumin. Also in CKD the kidneys don't filter the blood as fast. This glomerular filtration rate (GFR) is estimated by a simple blood test.
So for those with CKD, a kidney specialist (nephrologist) is highly recommended. A nephrologist will find out the underlying cause and work to keep the kidneys functioning for as long as possible. Also medications usually need to be adjusted in CKD because things tend to float around longer in the blood when the kidneys aren't filtering them out as well.
I would eat kidney pie if served to me, but with my luck I would break a tooth biting into a kidney stone. But I do take my BP and cholesterol medicines everyday to protect my kidneys and overall health.

Actor Liam Hemsworth was involved in an altercation with another man outside Continental Midtown (18th & Chestnut) late Saturday night/early Sunday morning.
We're not sure if we would agree with TMZ's assessment that the "Hunger Games" actor "Unleashes a beatdown" or "Rocked another man in the face HARD," but judge for yourself.
We told you Monday that Hemsworth, who is back in town working on "Paranoia," which shot here last summer, and friends had a few bottles of wine and some beers while drinking late night Saturday at Continental Midtown, but were previously unaware of the situation outside the restaurant.
Hemsworth is back in town working on "Paranoia," which shot here mainly last summer. Fiancee Miley Cyrus arrived in town Wednesday. She is now mourning the loss of one of her dogs.
We reached out to a "Paranoia" spokesman to see if he could provide comment from Hemsworth and will update the story with any response.

I've always enjoyed perusing the Dealbreaker website for their witty and often spot-on observations of our business. But they really hit the nail on the head with a recent article by Matt Levine on the difficulty of generating excess returns in mutual funds.
The column begins with a look at a few academic studies on the subject. The first one compares the Morningstar mutual fund price database with the one compiled by the Center for Research in Security Prices, or CRSP (pronounced "crisp") version, and found some intriguing and surprisingly large differences. It then introduces a concept called dollar value added, which is the gross return in excess of a benchmark (in this case a Vanguard index fund) multiplied by the assets under management.
Not to ruin the ending, but suffice to say that gaining an edge by owning actively managed mutual funds is extremely difficult. I covered this topic in some detail in "Searching for Alpha." This article offers a succinct read for an subject important to all investors.

Chelsea are preparing a bid for Aston Villa star Christian Benteke as Jose Mourinho seeks a solution to the club's pursuit of a new striker, Goal understands.
The returning manager has been thwarted in his attempt to sign Edinson Cavani and has thus far been unable to convince Robert Lewandowski to choose English football over a future move to Bayern Munich.
Benteke submitted a formal transfer request on Monday and, at 22, is attracted by the prospect of playing Champions League football and competing for the domestic title after a first Premier League season in which he scored 19 times for a club fighting relegation.
The Belgium international also fits Mourinho's preferred profile of a physically powerful striker capable of leading the attack alone, and is more readily attainable as a result of Villa's fragile financial state.
|Tottenham are 6/4 favourites with BetVictor to sign Christian Benteke
Also, aware that Borussia Dortmund would sell to Chelsea this summer rather than see Lewandowski join Bayern in a year's time, Mourinho has attempted to persuade the Pole to join him at Stamford Bridge - so far without success. Jurgen Klopp, the Dortmund coach, has confirmed that a move to their Bundesliga rivals is likely.
Mourinho identified a striker as one of three key positions to reinforce before he accepted Roman Abramovich's invitation to return as Chelsea manager after five seasons managing Inter and Real Madrid. The Russian billionaire is on board with Mourinho's intention to sell record signing Fernando Torres after two-and-a-half campaigns under four different coaches.
January acquisition Demba Ba is also surplus to requirements in Mourinho's preferred squad make-up and has been permitted to seek an immediate transfer out of Chelsea.
There is, however, room on the Portuguese's playing staff for Romelu Lukaku after the younger Belgian scored 17 goals in 35 Premier League appearances on loan at West Brom.
Lukaku will be given an opportunity to prove himself as Chelsea's back-up striker in the belief that the 20-year-old has the fundamentals to improve further in the position.
Chelsea also retain an interest in Mario Gomez, who has been allowed to secure new employers by Bayern after losing a guaranteed starting berth to Mario Mandzukic during their treble-winning campaign.
One of German football's best paid players, Gomez is looking to sustain an after-tax salary of £5.1m [€6m], while Bayern are asking for a significant transfer fee amidst competing interest from Fiorentina.
Goal revealed last month that both Tottenham and Liverpool have also monitored the Belgian's situation this summer.
