What is you and your family's your relationship to fast food? Do you eat it regularly? Do you never touch the stuff?
Fast food is about as American as baseball and (McDonald's) apple pie. In fact, according to a new study, Americans get a whopping 11% of their calories from burgers, fries and 1,000 calorie taco salads. The research, released by the United States Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), asked participants whether they had eaten any fast food or pizza in the past 24 hours.
The study points to some interesting demographic differences: for one, the older you get, the less likely you are to eat fast food. Ah, the wisdom that comes with age. Younger Americans tend to eat fewer calories from fast food as their income rises — however, income has no correlation to fast food consumption among the over 40 set. Unsurprisingly, obese people eat the most fast food on average.
As shocking as this percentage is, though, it's not the worst news in the world – this actually is a decrease from previous years. Between 2003 and 2006, Americans ate nearly 13% of their calories at fast food establishments. The 1990s saw a significant surge in fast food consumption – -and this surge is finally beginning to lose its steam. All we can do is hope that, the next time this data comes around, the percentage will drop even more! That, in addition to making healthier eating choices and steering our children away from fast food, of course!

I live in Japan, so you can imagine the food costs here. At the moment, the JPY is about 93 to 1 USD. Think of yen as pennies and it's easier to do the math.
Typically, an apple will cost anywhere from 98 yen to 300 yen, depending on size and place of purchase. I recently found a market near my school where I could buy a box of apples for 940 yen! I was ecstatic! That was 19 apples, which I divided up (along with cost) with a friend of mine here in town. I eat an apple for breakfast everyday, so you can imagine my glee.
Buying a hand-basket's worth of veggies and fruits can cost me anywhere from 1000 yen at the cheapest, to 3500 yen. Again, it depends on the bargains and where I shop. If I want cilantro, for instance, I can buy it for 128 yen, getting a few small sprigs in a plastic baggie (versus the bunches that are available back home in the states... *sigh* No pico de gallo here... not how I like it).
Meat, when I bought it, was usually around 250 yen for a small pack (1/2 lb?) of what I call "bork." It's mixed beef and pork... Finding ground beef can be somewhat difficult at times. Getting about a 1lb of beef was around 500, give or take. Chicken prices were slightly less... Fish prices are usually the best, of the meats, but I live in an island nation, so that's not too shocking.
Eating out depends, as well. If I go for katsudon or the like, there's a really cheap place near the college that costs 650 yen. That's the best deal I've seen. Still, you are given a bunch of rice and fried things--not good for eating healthy. Oh well! Most midrange places cost about 1200 or so. When I go to curry, it's usually 1300 at the cheapest, or if I'm going fancy, around 2000.
As for the fast food places, they cost roughly 650-800 depending on what you get. McD's is about 750, if you upsize a big mac combo. The 100 yen menu has things like 4 chicken nuggets, a simple hamburger, or a small fry. They also have something called shakka-shakka chicken which is pretty yummy, but not healthy by any means. KFC is EXPENSIVE... I couldn't tell you their prices. I think I've eaten there twice in my four years of living here, and the last time was because friends wanted to meet there. (And their biscuits have HOLES in them and aren't browned! WTF?)
Anyway, if you compare the prices... the veggies and fruits I usually buy about 3x a week... It might even out, but I think it comes out to being a little cheaper. Sure, I have to put in more effort, but I can feel the difference and see it in my improving numbers. You can afford to eat well, if you look for the bargains...
Also... BEANS. Beans rock and are affordable. Eat more beans. :>
It's interesting to learn about prices in Japan.
I very much enjoy KFC, but can't tell you the prices here because I refuse to lay down the fortune they want. The few times I've eaten their chicken is when someone else treated me.
Beans, beans, the musical fruit, the more I eat, the more regular I am. :)
Yeah, we rarely ate KFC at home, now that I think about it... Usually when we did, though, we'd make sure to get the coleslaw. Mom loves the stuff.
Are you eating black beans Nerdlass? I read they are healthy.
I'm eating all kinds, but mostly chickpea and adzuki. Adzuki beans are little red beans that are popular in Asia. Here, sugar is added to them and they are made into a paste to fill confections (my favorite is a sesame seed ball). I buy them dry so I can use them without sugar. They do well with chili recipes. :)
I bought a can of black beans awhile ago and made chili with it and some red kidney beans, last week. I can get dried black beans here, but I don't know if they are the same species of bean as the ones back home. Worth a look into.
My go to for chickpeas is to make chana masala or hummus.
If you saw "Supersize Me" -- a documentary about what happens when you eat nothing but McD for a month -- you'll never touch the stuff again.
It's about maturity and foresight. We have only one body each - best not to screw it up. More than once I've eaten with a kid in his 20s who's ordered a double bacon cheeseburger, as if to say, "Here's what I can eat, and you can't."
Yes, Alan I have heard of that movie - and I would love to see it. I just need to take some time to see it. I will look online - maybe there's some of the movie online.
I show the movie to my English club. It's a view of America, for one, but it also shows them that they should be careful about how much they go to McDs or KFC, here in Japan, as well.
And there are still temptations, even then. Right now, Japan McDs has a promotion of the American burger... They're various styles of burgers based on US states (though not typically fare from the state, as was the case with the Texas burger... BBQ sauce? Wut...). The most popular one has returned and all my friends are eating it... LOL I missed it last year, and I'll miss it this year, due to the diet I'm on (vegan). It's called the Idaho burger... They add a hashbrown to it. LOL
One footnote to this discussion: A considerable amount of dietary excess occurs at non-chain restaurants which fly under the radar and do not have to post nutrition info. In our neck of the woods, a nearby Sandwich Master restaurant, while it does serve healthy salads, offers up such delicaties as the Grand Duke - a breakfast sandwich with hash browns, scrambled eggs, cheese and sausage, dusted with powdered sugar and served on a hoagie roll. Another sandwich has five kinds of meat. YUM!!

Of course the cheat sheets are already a hit as is.
They have been of great help to me.

Bailey played for Royals under LaFontaine
ERIE, Pa. – Justin Bailey was crushed, in nearly every sense of the word.
One huge hit just three games into his junior hockey career turned what was supposed to be a happy Buffalo homecoming into a depressing trip to the sidelines. The concussion-causing blast knocked the Williamsville native out of USA Hockey's All-American Prospects Game in September, ruining his first chance to show NHL scouts why they should draft him.
Two months later, Bailey is able to smile about his unfortunate turn of events. In fact, the 17-year-old looks at the hit as a positive moment. It introduced him to a higher level of hockey, showed him what it will take to succeed in the Ontario Hockey League.
"I think it's for the better," the Kitchener Rangers right winger said Saturday before a 4-2 victory over the Erie Otters. "Last year, I think if I would have made that same play I probably would have gone down and scored or had a good opportunity, whereas this year that's what happens. For me it was an eye-opener and a positive thing moving forward."
The hit, which happened near center ice after Bailey received a breakout pass, taught Bailey to keep his head up. Another heads up came last week when NHL Central Scouting put Bailey high on its 2013 draft list. He is ranked ninth among North American skaters in the OHL.
"I'm right on the cusp of first round, second round," he said. "It's good to be there."
The lofty ranking makes scouts watch - the Sabres' Iouri Khmylev was among those in Erie Insurance Arena on Saturday night - and raises expectations. The 6-foot-3, 190-pound Bailey knows he can't take nights off if he wants to hear his name called early at the draft in June.
"It makes you want to perform and get even higher till you're at that No. 1 spot," Bailey said. "I think it's more of a motivational thing. I think it's a good pressure, not a bad pressure."
After a slow start, which included missing five games with the concussion, Bailey has gained his footing for the Rangers. He had three assists in his previous two games before getting shut out by the Otters. He's recorded five goals and 10 points in 20 outings.
"I think my game's been going up every game, which is a positive note for me," he said.
Bailey, who plays on the third line for prospect-laden Kitchener, ranks 16th in scoring among OHL rookies. He took a roundabout journey to the league and list.
Bailey's original plan was to play in the United States Hockey League last year, but he instead joined the Long Island Royals. The under-16 midget team won the national championship under coach Pat LaFontaine, the legendary Sabres Hall of Famer.
Bailey was then scheduled to play for Michigan State, but he turned down the scholarship over the summer after visiting Kitchener, which picked him in the seventh round of last year's draft.
"I sat down and looked at the pros and cons of things," Bailey said. "I thought from the time that I came [to Kitchener] for the tour that this was the right route for me. It's all worked out so far.
"I couldn't be more happy to be in Kitchener and be a Ranger. There's nothing better than the lifestyle I'm living now, from the coaches to the guys in the locker room to my billet family to my regular family, I think this is the right decision I made."
It's all made his absence from the All-American Prospects Game in First Niagara Center hurt a lot less.
"It's obviously tough watching a game like that knowing you can be a part of it," said Bailey, who attended the contest. "It was a cool game to see and I met a couple NHL teams there, so there were good things and bad things about it."

G'day fella. Mate, let me tell you it's almost pointless buying Creed here in Oz.
Still, you might be able to check out:
hisnherperfumes.com (their shop is on Toorak road, south yarra part of the Como building)
There's others around, such as Kleins Perfumery in Brunswick street and a little boutique nestled next too Adelphi hotel in Flinders lane which also stock Creed....but again, out of my price range :-)
Have been on the forum for quite some time but sadly dont get the time like I used too to share stories.
If you in the market for any niche scents, I can only offer a bottle of L'Artisans Passage d'Enfer at the moment personally.
Happy hunting!
Cheers buddy, thanks for the welcome. I think I heard that you're the guy too talk to about creeds in victoria australia. Any tips? I know harrolds but anywhere a but cheaper?

Annals of Xanten, 845-853
The Mid-Ninth century is often taken as the low point of Western
European civilization. The Annals of the Abbey of Xanten,
(near the mouth of the River Rhine), express the situation.
Twice in the canton of Worms there was an earthquake; the first
in the night following Palm Sunday, the second in the holy night
of Christ's resurrection. In the same year the heathen broke in
upon the Christians at many points, but more than twelve thousand
of then were killed by the Frisians. Another party of invaders
devastated Gaul; of these more than six hundred men perished.
Yet owing to his indolence, Charles [the Bald, the rule of France]
agreed to give them many thousands of pounds of gold and silver
if they would leave Gaul, and this they did. Nevertheless the
cloisters of the most of the saints were destroyed, and many of
the Christians were lead away captive.
According to their custom the Northmen plundered eastern and western
Frisia and burned down the town of Dordrecht, with two other villages,
before the eyes of Lothair [The Emperor], who was then in the
castle of Nimwegen, but could not punish the crime. The Northmen,
with their boast filled with immense booty, including both men
and goods, returned to their own country.
At this same time, as no one can mention or hear without great
sadness, the mother of all the churches, the basilica of the apostle
Peter, was taken and plundered by the Moors, or Saracens, who
had already occupied the region of Beneventum. The Saracens, moreover,
slaughtered all the Christians whom they found outside the walls
of Rome, either within or without this church. They also carried
men and women away prisoners. They tore down, among many others,
the altar of the blessed Peter, and their crimes from day to day
bring sorrow to Christians. Pope Sergius departed life this year.
After the death of Sergius no mention of the apostolic see has
come in any way to our ears.
On the fourth of February, towards evening, it lightened and there
was thunder heard. The heathen, as was their custom, inflicted
injury on the Christians.
While King Louis [Ludwig, the King of Germany] was ill his army
of Bavaria took its way against the Bohemians. Many of these were
killed and the remainder withdrew, much humiliated, into their
own country. The heathen from the North wrought havoc in Christendom
as usual and grew greater in strength, but it is revolting to
say more of this matter.
On January 1st of that season, in the octave of the Lord, towards
evening, a great deal of thunder was heard and a mighty flash
of lightening seen; and an overflow of water afflicted the human
race during this winter. In the following summer an all to great
heat of the sun burned the earth. Leo, pope of the apostolic see,
an extraordinary man, built a fortification round the church of
St. Peter. The Moors, however, devastated here and there the coast
towns in Italy
The steel of the heathen glistened; excessive heat; a famine followed.
There was not enough fodder for the animals
A great famine in Saxony so that many were forced to live on horse

Am I wrong to assume that Theravada takes the cosmology to be merely symbolical or allegorical?The picture of the world presented in Buddhist cosmological descriptions cannot be taken as a literal description of the shape of the universe. It is inconsistent, and cannot be made consistent, with astronomical data that were already known in ancient India. However, it is not intended to be a description of how ordinary humans perceive their world; rather, it is the universe as seen through the divyacakṣus (Pāli: dibbacakkhu), the "divine eye" by which a Buddha or an arhat who has cultivated this faculty can perceive all of the other worlds and the beings arising (being born) and passing away (dying) within them, and can tell from what state they have been reborn and into what state they will be reborn. The cosmology has also been interpreted in a symbolical or allegorical sense (see Ten spiritual realms).
Anyway, Wikipedia says that, but then there are actual stories I've heard of monks' meditation being disturbed by gandhabbas (I believe the commentary says this?) and of people actually seeing devas... And the various miraculous stories of the suttas, Classical Theravadins take this literally, yes?
I'm not so sure what to make of cosmology based strictly on the suttas, because the suttas have so many stories of such things which are apparently literal, yet despite this, certain other stories seem to poke fun at these things.
In the Juñha Sutta, Sariputta, whose wisdom is said to be second only to the Buddha himself, is meditating and a yakkha hits him on the head. Moggallana sees this and asks Sariputta how he is feeling, and Sariputta mentions only a slight headache. Was this a joke by Sariputta or was he actually totally unaware of the Yakkha's presence?
Another sutta I remember (though I'm lacking a reference at the moment -- but it's well-known, so should be easy to find.. Mahaparinibbana Sutta, maybe?), the Buddha remarks to one of his followers that they need to step out of the way, because there are many gods who trying to see him and they're blocking his view.
Some have also remarked that the Agganna Sutta, the most elaborate sutta on the creation of the world, was a satirical parody of metaphysical speculation but the joke was lost on later commentators. Could this be true?
But in any case, if the cosmology is not literal... and it is not merely metaphorical... and it is the way a Buddha sees with his divine perception, how would this relate to mundane experience? As an example, how might a kalpa relate to the physical expansion and contraction of a universe, during the Big Bang and the theoretical Big Crunch? As another specific question, if devas can choose to take physical form or not, then what is their locality and nature when they are not in physical form?

Well, i just tried to use this and it works! But there was one bell that rings.
Right now there is quite a few stuff unhardcoded into rules.js, which is a good thing. For example, we have GUI button code, tileset-specific texture code, upgrades code, oil drum spawning code, command center code, victory conditions code.
Now suppose i want to make a custom rules script. Then i have a choice of
- either running my script as "extra", alongside existing rules.js, and then i cannot override existing functions, eg. change victory conditions so that game didn't end when all enemy units are destroyed,
- or running my script as "rules", replacing existing rules.js, and then my script would have to re-implement all the things, eg. i wanted to only change victory conditions, but i have to carry the whole GUI and textures and upgrades code along with my mod and update it whenever it changes in the base game.
Then i could have made a custom rules script that looks like that:
Code: Select all
Then my map automatically stays up to date whenever anything changes in the base game's rules.js, breaking only in very rare situations when more functionality is pushed into the base game's rules.js in a separate file i did not include yet. I think we can easily avoid that in minor releases.
Code: Select all
// implement my own victory conditions here

PHILADELPHIA — A Pennsylvania county that had issued more than 170 marriage licenses to same-sex couples is appealing a court ruling to stop issuing the licenses, the latest volley in the state's battle over gay marriage.
Democratic officials in suburban Philadelphia's Montgomery County said today they are appealing a recent Commonwealth Court ruling to the state Supreme Court.
The ruling has been a victory for Republican Gov. Tom Corbett, who opposes gay marriage.
Montgomery County had issued 174 licenses to same-sex couples before the state Health Department successfully challenged the policy in court last month.
Separately, several lawsuits are under way across the state to challenge the constitutionality of the state's one-man, one-woman marriage law.
The litigation in Pennsylvania, New Jersey and elsewhere follows this year's U.S. Supreme Court ruling that struck down key parts of the federal Defense of Marriage Act.

Potential charges against suburban St. Louis police officer who shot, killed Michael Brown
CHICAGO – A Missouri grand jury could begin hearing evidence as soon as Wednesday to determine whether any charges should be filed against a white suburban police officer who fatally shot unarmed black 18-year-old Michael Brown.
State prosecutors are wading through contradictory narratives as they decide which account to present. Federal authorities also could take legal action against Officer Darren Wilson, especially if they decide their state counterparts are drawing the wrong conclusions.
Here's a look at some of the legal issues:
What state charges could Wilson face?
Although the stiffest possible charge is first-degree murder, which can carry the death penalty, legal experts say that's highly unlikely. It would require proof Wilson plotted to kill Brown, said Peter Joy, a law professor at Washington University in St. Louis. "It'd have to be a cold and deliberate killing — almost execution style," he said.
If Wilson is charged, a more likely option could be second-degree murder, which is often applied to killings that occur after someone hastily draws a knife in the heat of a fight. Unlike in first-degree murder, the second-degree charge doesn't require evidence of premeditation. Two lesser but still-serious charges are voluntarily or involuntary manslaughter, which would follow a finding Wilson acted recklessly or negligently in causing Brown's death.
How critical is motive?
It's extremely important to the case. Prosecutors essentially have to get inside Wilson's head, said Anders Walker, a professor at Saint Louis University School of Law. Did he fire in a fit of racially charged anger, perhaps subjecting him to second-degree murder? "They have to decide what the officer was thinking," Walker said. "A lot hinges on that."
Are there other relevant state laws?
Yes. One is called "defense of justification law," which provides some legal leeway for officers to shoot suspects they believe are fleeing a serious crime and refusing to surrender, Joy said. In this case, some witnesses say Brown was surrendering. And police have said Wilson didn't know Brown was a robbery suspect. Wilson could try to argue the crime Brown was fleeing wasn't the robbery; he could contend the crime was Brown pushing or hitting Wilson.
What's the role of autopsy results?
Bullet wounds to the back of Brown's body could render incredulous any theory Wilson killed Brown from fear for his life, Joy explains. If all of the bullets entered went through the front of Brown's body at close range, that could support claims Wilson fired in a struggle.
Could prosecutors opt not to charge Wilson with anything?
Yes, if they conclude he acted in self-defense. But, Joy said, prosecutors do have to account for the fact someone died one way or another. That means it's unlikely they'd decide on a relatively minor charge, such as assault. "It's likely you're going to have the state charge him with murder or manslaughter — or nothing at all," Joy said.
What charges could federal authorities pursue?
Bringing a murder charge isn't among their options. They could charge Wilson with a criminal civil rights violation, which carries a maximum life sentence, said Joel Bertocchi, a former federal prosecutor in Chicago. They'd have to show Wilson, perhaps out of racial bias, deprived Brown of his civil rights by killing him.
It could take months or even a year for the feds to decide, said Samuel Bagenstos, a former Justice Department official. It would hardly be the first time they took such action under the statute, called "Deprivation of Rights Under Color of Law." The Rodney King case was brought under these post-Civil War federal laws protecting civil rights.
And in the first four years of Barack Obama's presidency, the Justice Department brought more than 250 such cases.
AP writer Pete Yost in Washington contributed to this report.

When it comes to professional social networking sites to gain a professional edge, LinkedIn has been at the front of the pack in recent years. The site has grown to more than 200 million members in more than 200 countries and territories as users sign up looking to make new professional connections, expand their job hunt or find a qualified candidate to fill an open position. (http://blog.linkedin.com/2013/01/09/linkedin-200-million/)

Students and graduates have a bevy of websites they can use to aid their job search, connect with experts and learn more about their field, but they have to know where to look and how to use them to their full advantage.
"It's important for students to use various tools simply because it's so easy to take advantage of them these days," says Roberto Angulo, CEO of AfterCollege. (http://www.aftercollege.com/) "Their effectiveness varies, but it's important for students to cast a wide net to improve their chances of getting a job."
For students and grads on the job hunt who are looking for resources besides LinkedIn to build on their networks and land a job, here are four websites worth checking out.
When 21-year-old Sokanu CEO Spencer Thompson launched his website right out of high school, he wanted to help young people identify a broader sense of career discovery and development. (http://www.sokanu.com/)
"Many of the other platforms right now are very job-focused and not much else is offered," Thompson says. "We are career-focused and understand that discovering and pursuing your passion is a long-term process."
Sokanu offers career-matching technology similar to dating sites or music-matching sites: The career discovery component of the site asks members a series of questions about their interests, values, and skills, matching them to careers they're most compatible with.
Instead of uploading resumes in a traditional format, members can create a profile that highlights accomplishments in more of a story form.
"This is incredibly valuable to both new students and new graduates, as it encourages people to reflect on who they are and what it is they want to be doing," says Thompson. "Most people need to try a few options to learn about themselves and understand what it is they are meant to be doing. Our career discovery platform helps to take some of the guesswork out of this process."
Husband and wife team Russell and Andrea Castro wanted to create a more visual way for job seekers to connect with others in their field and find work opportunities rather than hiding behind the keyboard.
"We realized that a lot of people are struggling out there--what if they just wore their skills and people would notice them?" says iSawYah co-founder, Russell Castro. (https://www.isawyah.com/)
Users create a free online profile page with skills, services, existing businesses, hobbies, photos, samples of previous work and links before ordering a customized iSawYah button, keychain, or bumper sticker printed with their specific profession or skill and username linking back to their online profile.
"They could actually be standing right next to someone right in the store or at the super market--we decided to use our grass roots approach of being a walking billboard and combining it with the technology with the profile page," Castro says.
College students in particular can benefit from using iSawYah by simply commuting and walking on-campus while wearing their button, says Castro.
"They do a lot of networking; they like to go out socializing with their friends, so they're out in the public a little more than someone who's a little bit older."
While current students can take advantage of career fairs and information sessions on campus, MyWorkster targets graduates interested in local networking career expo events for alumni. (http://www.myworkster.com/)
The site alerts users of events held on college campuses with 10 to 12 other schools in the area and are marketed to employers as alumni only, with around 100 employers and 1000 job seekers at each event, says Jeffrey Nortman, vice president of alumni events.
"Typical of our events is 20% of the job seekers are recent grads and the rest have been in the work force on average of about five or six years," he says.
Nortman explains that the career expos allow prospective candidates to meet employers face to face to make a good first impression and stand out from a sea of resumes.
"Whether you can do interactive online or you come to a networking event, the nice thing about our events are that they are four hours," he says. "For the employers, they get to see hundreds of people and for the job seekers, it's a great opportunity to meet 100 employers in area, network and find out if there's a job or career there."
Students and graduates can set up an AfterCollege profile noting their college and what they want to study/have studied to find jobs and internships relevant to them based on their field or if certain employers have expressed interest in candidates with their specific background, says Angulo. (http://www.aftercollege.com/)
"As a result, students and grads become aware of jobs they didn't know were out there--it's a discovery process for them," he says.
Employers can search specifically for entry-level candidates and new grads who are alerted via email if there are opportunities that are a match.
Students can join career networks in conjunction with over 16,000 academic departments and groups at over 2,300 colleges and universities, as well as career networks created for faculty, who then get their students and industry contacts using them.
"Students are able to leverage faculty connections...without having to go out and request random one on one connections," says Angulo. "We expose students to industry networks that they don't easily have access via other services."

one bike in a line of a thousand scooters
It's Saturday here in Taipei and this afternoon we'll see what Josh Hon and his crew have been working on. It's a new global bike brand and I'll upload photos and tweet live from the event. Yesterday we visited Taipei 101, Chiang Kai-shek Memorial Hall , and went out to a traditional, beer-drinking, business dinner at the Five-Dime Driftwood restaurant.
As I said on on Twitter
Five-Dime Driftwood, fever-dream aboriginal restaurant put some weird mojo on us.
twisted Taipei art
and think what happened is this 40-foot tall Nicolas Cage got in my head first. A good ride on new bikes should reset the mojo, right as rain.

Imperiled species will benefit from a total of $5.1 million in grants to 11 states through the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service's competitive State Wildlife Grants program.
The grants, which focus on large-scale conservation projects yielding measurable results, will be matched by more than $3.1 million in non-federal funds from states and their partners for projects that work to conserve and recover Species of Greatest Conservation Need and their habitats.
"The projects funded by these grants target some of the most imperiled species and habitats in the United States," said Service Director Dan Ashe. "These projects are receiving funding because they are tied to well-thought-out conservation plans that identify the highest-priority areas where we can make the biggest difference for imperiled species."
The SWG funds will benefit a variety of species and habitats: In North Carolina and South Carolina, partners' work will help inform decision-making and management for the robust redhorse and up to 52 additional fishes, mussels and crayfish.
For more information about each of the grant projects, visit: wsfrprograms. fws.gov/Subpages/GrantPrograms/SWG/ SWG2013FundedProjects.pdf.
SWG-funded projects implement strategies and actions to conserve SGCN as identified in approved State Comprehensive Wildlife Conservation Plans (also known as State Wildlife Action Plans). unding for the grants comes from fiscal year 2013 appropriations.
All 50 states and six territorial wildlife agencies have approved State Wildlife Action Plans that collectively provide a nationwide blueprint for actions to conserve SGCN.
The plans were created through a collaborative effort among state and federal agencies, biologists, conservationists, landowners, sportsmen and the general public.
Robust redhorse recovery
The N.C. Wildlife Resources Commission, Department of Environment and Natural Resources and the Division of Inland Fisheries received money for a "Robust Redhorse Recovery and Habitat Restoration" project in North and South Carolina.
The robust redhorse, a large fish found in only three river drainages in the southeastern U.S., is a state-listed endangered species in North Carolina.
Little is known of the effects of common contaminants on water quality and the species' food web dynamics, uncertainties which must be resolved before the fish can be effectively restored. The collaborative effort will rely on expertise from the U.S. Geological Survey, North Carolina State University and the state resource agencies of North and South Carolina.
Field sampling and laboratory analyses will allow the partners to develop population and food web models to describe and project the effects of habitat and water quality changes on populations of the species.
The results will inform decision-making and management for the robust redhorse along with up to 52 additional fishes, mussels, and crayfish.
Federal funds requested: $460,000; non-fed match: $225,400.
Conservation opportunities
The N.C. Wildlife Resources Commission, Department of Environment and Natural Resources and the Division of Inland Fisheries received funds to identify conservation opportunity areas for the 2015 revision of the North Carolina Wildlife Action Plan.
The Wildlife Resources Commission will work with the U.S. Geological Survey and North Carolina State University to implement strategies recommended by the Association of Fish and Wildlife Agencies for revision of the North Carolina State Wildlife Action Plan.
A key advance will be made by utilizing spatial models to analyze and map Conservation Opportunity Areas based on habitat threats such as urban growth, pollution, and impacts from climate change.
Partners will consolidate and maintain these data sets, making them available to the public through an internet data portal.
Federal funds requested: $94,374; nonfed match: $31,458.
Grants to benefit imperiled wildlife
Imperiled species will benefit from a total of $5.1 million in grants to 11 states through the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service's competitive State Wildlife Grants program.

Guest Blogger: Inspiration for Entertaining from Fall 2009 Fashion Trends
Today's SCS guest blogger is Teresa Antonucci Lee of Rex & Regina, a boutique entertaining and consulting firm from Washington, D.C. that specializes in beautiful events.
If you've hit the stores lately or checked out any of the online Fall 2009 fashion previews, you have undoubtedly discovered some of the trends of the season: vivacious reds, metal-embellished shoes and handbags, over-the-knee boots, and animal prints of a variety of breeds.
A great hostess can find inspiration for entertaining almost anywhere, including the fashion runway. Here are a few simple ways to translate Fall fashion's love affair with animal prints from runway to table.
A great party makes a cohesive statement from start to end. So when throwing an animal-print-inspired party, be sure to set the tone from the start with the invitation. I love this Kate Spade option from finestationery.
Just as in fashion, it often makes sense to invest in classics building blocks (e.g. the perfect black dress, a crisp white button down) and incorporate trends through accent pieces. For a tablescape, that can mean buying a great set of all white dishes and mixing in colorful salad /dessert plates, placemats, or napkins for a bold statement.
Another way to incorporate a playful pattern like an animal print is barware -- whether an ice bucket, martini shaker, or specialty bar glasses. These tortoise shell bar accessories and glassware would be striking as an essemble or as individual pieces.
I'll leave you with a few other fun ways to tap the animal print trend for your next party, but remember -- as with fashion, the sky is the limit with respect to expressing one's personal style when entertaining!
- napkin rings from Dransfield and Ross
- personalized wine tags
- chocolate-covered animal crackers -- great as party favors!

medieval history with grade six
In the sixth grade, we study Roman and medieval history. The cause and effect quality of these periods in history, the sense of law and order, conviction for truth and justice, and devotion to beliefs are soul food for the sixth grader. In studying the events surrounding the fall of the Roman Empire and the rise of Christianity and medieval history, I realized that there really is not a clear line between the end of one period of history and the beginning of another. History has a sequential quality, a cause and effect linearity, that is particulary evident in the rise and fall of the Roman Empire and the beginnings of medieval history. A series of events, singular and concurrent, all contribute to the way the human story marches forward. I though I had left Rome behind several weeks ago in our Roman history block, but the Roman Empire proved quite resilient as it formed the foundation for the beginnings of the Dark Ages. So our medieval history block had to start with the fall of the Empire.
Under the Emperor Tiberius, a man named Jesus was crucified by the Romans for fear that his teachings about God and the power of love was counter to the laws of the Romans. His followers began to spread his teachings, and Christianity was born. Under the reign of Nero, many Christians were tortured and executed. By the time Hadrian had taked power, it was unlawful to be Christian and many went into hiding, spreading the word of God secretly. The Roman Empire reached the height of its power during Hadrian's reign, and many roads were built that reached to the edges of Hesperia, Gaul, the River Danube, and the northern coast of Africa.
In Britain, the Romans had tried to extend their laws and customs to this forested island. Pagan tribes of Celts resisted the might of the Romans. One tribe, the Iceni, led by Queen Boudicca, fought the Romans bravely. But Queen Boudicca and her two daughters finally poisoned themselves when they realized they had lost, and did not want to be brought to the city of Rome as prisoners to be humiliated, tortured, and executed. The Iceni were one of the last Celtic tribes to resist the Romans, and from then on, much of Britain, except for the northern lands where the Picts and Scots had lived, went under Roman rule.
The sixth graders and I, on a sunny Friday at the end of school, re-enacted the battle between the Romans and Celts out on the school's lawn, which abuts a mound of dirt and logs. The Romans marched with shields towards the Celtic hill fortification. I played the role of a Roman officer. On my command, we charged towards the hill, PVC pipe-swords drawn and ...we all threw water balloons at each other, and the children dumped a bucket of water on me! Glorious!
But Christianity continued to spread, and in the city of Verulanium in Britain, a Roman nobleman named Alban had chanced upon an old man he helped. The old man was a Christian. After hearing his stories about Christ, Alban proclaimed himself Christian. Roman soldiers came to his house, and he helped the old man escape. Alban did not deny to having helped the old man, and also admitted to the Roman officer, a family friend, that he had converted to Christianity. When Alban refused to renounce his faith, Alban was executed. He became the first Christian in Britain to die as a martyr.
Emperor Diocletian divided the Roman Empire into the Western Roman Empire and the Eastern Roman Empire. He gave the Western Empire to Maximinius. Their successors, Maxentius, the son of Maximinius, and Constantine, disagreed about the rule of the two halves of the Empire. They declared war on each other. Constantine had a vision from God and he instructed his men to paint crosses on their shields. When they went into battle against Meaxentius' soldiers, they scared them off with a crucifixion image on their shields, and the seeming determination they had on their countenances. Constantine decided that Rome would no longer be the center of power, so he established Constantinople. The executions of Christians stopped. It became fashionable to be a Christian.
Meanwhile, Germanic tribes, barbarians, from the northeast, began to push against the fortified boundaries of the Roman Empire. The tribes did not have centralized power so the Roman tried to convince them to battle as Romans against other Germanic tribes. Roman law, loyalty, and power began to crumble under the weight of unruly, uncontrollable hoardes of people.
Attile the Hun, the "Scourge of God," struck fear and destruction across the Empire. Eventually, the Goths and the Vandals took their tour of pillaging and plundering the Empire. The Western Empire fell into ruin, and the Eastern Empire, ruled from Constantinople, managed to maintain some power due to tenuous alliances with the barbarians. The Angles and Saxons, also Germanic tribes, traveled northward into Britain as mercenaries against the Picts and Scots, battling at Hadrian's Wall and everywhere in the British countrysides.
The great Migration of People, the huge nomadic tribes of the central plains of Europe, continued their movement into what was left of the Roman Empire. Odoacer, a strong Roman Commander-in-Chief of Germanic descent and Christian faith took control of the Western Empire and threw away the title of Emperor. In 476 AD, the Empire ceased to exist. Along with the unrecorded history of the Angles and Saxons in Britain, and the settling of Germanic tribes throughout Europe, this period of history became known as the Dark Ages.
The monks believed that to be a true Christian, one must live simply and virtuously. In their monasteries were scriptoriums, where they spent night and day as scribes, creating beautiful, delicate, and perfect manuscripts of religious texts.
The sixth graders are learning the art of calligraphy and illuminated manuscripts. They will be completing a page of their creeds, of what it is they have a conviction for, of what they believe. It ties in with the strong devotion of the Christians, and of knighthood and chivalry. We had touched on the seven knightly virtues, and they seem to be getting into the spirit of the chivalric ways!
We are now in Spring Break. The timing of this block seemed to work well, as some families will be celebrating Easter, a time important to Christianity. When the children return, we wil learn about Islam and Eleanor of Aquitaine, the mother of medieval history! We will be working more on our calligraphy and completing our creeds. We will also be working on our individual coats-of-arms just in time for our participation in the Medieval Games, where we will compete with other sixth graders from other Waldorf schools.

Hi Dr. Rick,
My family comes from a medieval town called Visby Gotland in Sweden. It is a completely protected by UNESCO and is in its original form. Every August we wear our family colors and have a medieval festival complete with trebuchets. I have tons of photos on my learnsweden blog. Let me know if you'd like to show your class. 11 is such a great age to do this time period with. They really get into it. Thanks for sharing your class with us.

I think you can say ~ In the Name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit and post with charitable and prayerful intentions.
Furthermore, I think that the ethnic particularism of the NC churches is a valid reason for us not to consider conversion. And yes, I know that this would have been the case with regard to Eastern Orthodoxy a few centuries ago--and rightly so. I have never encountered a serious reason to see NC Orthodoxy as other than the particular tradition of certain Middle Eastern cultures. I have encountered serious reasons to see Chalcedonian Orthodoxy as more than that. In other words, it is your job to make the case (by words or deeds) that you should be considered as an alternative. It is not our job to seek out all possible alternatives. That is not the way the search for truth ought to work, IMHO.
I don't just mean that Orthodoxy is more prevalent in the West in the form of ethnic diasporas, but that a case has been made for why Orthodoxy is of universal relevance and has the answers to the questions Westerners are asking. I have never heard such a case for the Non-Chalcedonians. I know no good reason to question Chalcedonian christology, and therefore it seems to me that either you guys are wrong theologically or the differences are mostly political and historical (in the absence of detailed knowledge of the issues, I assume the latter). In other words, your distinctives are either heresy (in which case obviously you are not an option) or an unfortunate historical division that has isolated certain national/ethnic churches from the rest of Orthodoxy.Give me a positive argument _for_ the Non-Chalcedonian vision of Christianity over against the Chalcedonian one, and I will listen to it. But until then, I'll worry about the issues I have inherited as a Western Chalcedonian Protestant!
Peter, weren't you Anglican? Your statement that you didn't identify yourself with Chalcedon surprises me. Anglicans have historically seen the first four councils as authoritative, particularly Nicea and Chalcedon. At least that's my own experience as an Anglican and my strong impression of historic Anglicanism. Furthermore, Western Christianity generally, as you have pointed out, leans toward the Nestorian side of the scale if anything. I don't mean that we go around thinking about it all the time, but that all our assumptions and our history and for that matter our horrendous divisions among ourselves have all taken place within a framework defined by Chalcedon (among many other things).I am still interested in hearing an explanation of why a Western Christian _would_ convert to Oriental Orthodoxy. The East-West split involved the Chalcedonian churches. They are the ones we sinned against, and they are the ones we should return to, barring some excellent reason to the contrary. (This is precisely why I have generally considered Catholicism as more of a life option for me than Orthodoxy--but after several attempts to become Catholic I'm coming to the conclusion that in fact there are compelling doctrinal reasons not to, which now frees me to consider Orthodoxy.)
The Greeks told me that I should join the Anglican Church since that was the Orthodox Church for England.
Hi TheodoreThere is a bigger problem. When folk started wanting to convert to EOxy the Greeks and Anglicans formed a Committee to deal with groups wanting to convert by basically preventing them. An Encyclical appeared, from the Greeks warning against any attempts at proselytism/evangelism in the UK. The Greeks are beholden to the Anglicans for many borrowed buildings and seem rather in awe of the C of E as an 'established' Church.It was not a Greek priest who directed me to the Anglicans but the office of the Greek Church in Great Britain.
If there are multiple parishes in a given town, chances are that converts will avoid the more ethnic parishes, and Oriental Orthodox parishes inevitably wind up in this group.
I know no good reason to question Chalcedonian christology, and therefore it seems to me that either you guys are wrong theologically
In believing that Christ is of two natures, divine and human, one could confuse the Christology to assume that one nature overpowers or is more important than the other, such as the gnostic heresy. Or one could assume that the human nature and the divine nature are two distinct persons, like modalism.

Lansing wins close one in Shawnee while Pleasant Ridge struggles again.
What looked like a lopsided win at half quickly became a nail-biter for the Lansing boys' basketball team.
The Lions traveled to Shawnee Heights Tuesday where they held a 27-14 advantage heading into the third quarter.
But a furious rally by the Thunderbirds made for an interesting ending.
Up 43-40, Lansing missed two front ends of one-and-one free throw opportunities, allowing Heights hope for an equalizer as the final buzzer rang.
However, the Thunderbirds' tying shot bounced off the rim and went flaying to the right, letting the Lions escape with the three-point win.
"Not a real solid game for us," Lansing coach Rod Briggs said. "We were even behind 36-34 at one time, but got it back. Still, a win is a win and you should always be happy about winning."
Joe Schneider led the team in scoring with 13 points followed by Clay Young with 11 and Khalil Bailey had eight. Briggs highlighted Lucas Mein for some big plays down the stretch as well.
Lansing, 2-0, hosts Topeka Seaman Friday at 7:15 p.m.
Atchison runs over Rams
The fresh-faced Pleasant Ridge boys' basketball team took its lumps Tuesday, losing 77-23 at home to Atchison.
"We have to get to the point where we can play together, and we will have our growing pains, and that's how it will be for a while," said PR coach Sean Murphy. "They [Atchison] had their lumps, and now we're having ours."
Nick Holmes led the Rams with seven points. Sean Spurlock dropped in six.
The Rams head to Kansas City Christian Tuesday for a 7:30 p.m. tipoff.

The green little corner of my yard.
I'm still slumpish.
Even when the heat and humidity let up for a few days I still found myself with no motivation.
As Steven says "my get up and go must have got up and went".
Here's what I've been spending lots of time doing.
• Reading magazines. Trying to get through a huge stack, clipping out what I love and passing the magazine on. I don't need the clutter.
• Bookmarking lots of recipes and saying "oh I need to make this".
• Cutting mats out of Moose's ears.
• Pulling my hair up.
• Trying to follow all the blogs I read. I can't say that I've been keeping up with all of them, but I'm trying.
• Eating popsicles (the cotton candy flavored ones are my faves).
• Plotting out my Christmas craft for this year and buying supplies (don't hate me cause I'm an early planner).
• Adjusting to the new meds, one perk to one of them…makes my skin super healthy and clear. One not so great perk, monthly blood work to make sure my potassium levels aren't going up too much.
• Eating lots of cold suppers. I'm getting very creative with salad.
• Picking veggies from my garden. My basil has come back with a vengeance. It's like 4 feet high and that's with regular trimmings.
I had hoped to make a few recipes over the weekend but I had a wedding to attend in Connecticut on Saturday and a house to clean on Sunday. Oh yeah, I didn't feel like cleaning much during the heatwave either.
Shall I taunt you with all the delicious foods I will be posting shortly?? Ok then. Here's whats coming up....
Sicilian Steak
Lime in the Coconut Cheesecake bars
Crab Rangoon Eggrolls
Lasagna Cups
Mini Pizza Cups
My delicious herbed mayo

So that's what I have planned and of course that list is subject to change based on whatever other recipe I find that might entices me more, but most of the above mentioned should be appearing shortly. Honest...I will get back in the kitchen!

Bruce Springsteen Auditioned for Columbia Records 40 Years Ago This Month
Given that, at 62, he still has the energy of musicians half his age, sometimes it's hard to believe that Bruce Springsteen has been a recording artist for nearly 40 years. But it was this month in 1972 that a scrawny kid from New Jersey walked into Columbia Records' office in New York with an acoustic guitar and sang a few songs in front of legendary talent scout John Hammond.
Born into New York aristocracy in 1910, Hammond was turned on to jazz by his family's African American servants. As an adult, he worked his love of jazz into a political philosophy: if more people heard this music, he thought, perhaps too idealistically but certainly well-intentioned, racial prejudice in America would end. In fact, he began his career with Columbia when, during the Depression, he offered to fund the recordings of several of his favorite unsigned artists.
Eventually Hammond broadened his view to emcompass blues and folk, and over the course of his career, he either produced or discovered many of the greatest names in the history of 20th century American music, including Benny Goodman, Billie Holiday, Pete Seeger, Aretha Franklin and Bob Dylan.
Springsteen's then-manager Mike Appel somehow convinced Hammond to give him a shot, and on May 2, 1972, Springsteen auditioned for Hammond in his office. It's known that he played at least four songs, 'Growin' Up,' 'It's Hard to Be a Saint in the City,' 'Mary Queen of Arkansas' and 'If I was the Priest.' According to Springsteen, Hammond's response was simple: "You've got to be on Columbia Records."
Still, Hammond wanted to see him in front of an audience, so he quickly arranged for him to open that night at the Gaslight in Greenwich Village. Impressed, Hammond booked time for the next day in CBS Studios, where Springsteen recorded a handful of demos with Hammond producing. Four of those songs from "Job No. 79682″ were released on the 1998 box set, 'Tracks.'
Hammond would officially retire from Columbia in 1975, but he continue to work as a consultant for them. One of the last people he brought to the label was a hot blues guitarist from Texas named Stevie Ray Vaughan.

A child's diet is a work in progress. Just when you think you've figured out what he'll eat -- and won't -- his preferences change all over again.
So you wonder whether he's eating well enough. As a mother of three, I wonder the same thing. But as a registered dietitian, I know that even if a kid turns up his nose at vegetables, refuses to drink milk, or won't touch any meat except chicken nuggets, it rarely spells dietary doom. Chances are, your child's eating habits are healthier than you think, even if they could use some improvement.
That's what three families found when they participated in our diet makeovers. We asked the parents to write down everything their kids ate for three days. Then we compared each child's average daily nutritional intake against what's recommended by age and found kid-approved ways for him or her to eat better.
Registered dietitian Elizabeth Ward's latest book is Healthy Foods, Healthy Kids.
Sarah: Running on Air?
Janet Zalewski marvels at her 2-year-old's energy level. "I always wonder whether Sarah's eating enough," says the Chicago mom. Although she's encouraged by her toddler's curiosity about food -- "Like my husband, Mike, she'll try anything once" -- she worries when Sarah sometimes won't eat what she's served. "If she doesn't like what I make, should I offer other foods that I know she'll eat?" It also bothers her that Sarah loves fatty foods, especially salami, hot dogs, and sausages. "Since I'm always sure she'll eat them, I keep hot dogs in the house for a quick and easy meal," admits Zalewski. (To prevent choking in kids younger than 4, cut hot dogs and sausages into small pieces -- and avoid hard candies like M&M's.)
Problems -- and solutions. Sarah drinks milk at most meals and likes ice cream and yogurt, so she's well nourished in calcium and protein. But all those hot dogs and other processed meats give her too much heart-unhealthy saturated fat and sodium -- without providing enough iron. Switching to leaner cuts of pork and beef will reduce the fat, boost iron, and lower her intake of potentially harmful sodium nitrite. Other good iron sources: eggs and iron-fortified ready-to-eat cereals.
Sarah could also benefit from boosting her intake of dietary fiber. For example, she could, as often as possible, switch from white to whole-wheat bread, from french fries to baked potatoes, and from juice to whole fruit.
There's no need for Sarah's mom to cater to her food preferences; she just needs to continue to offer a variety of nutrient-rich foods. Left to their own devices, 2-year-olds eat when they're hungry, consuming more during growth spurts, which occur less frequently than when they were babies. And Sarah's a remarkably consistent and interested eater for her age.
One month later. Sarah's eating fewer processed meats and more tuna fish, eggs, and PB&J and grilled cheese sandwiches. Zalewski switched her from white to whole-grain breads for toast and sandwiches. She's boosting Sarah's fruit (and fiber) intake with a few fruit smoothies a week. A tougher challenge: limiting juice consumption. "We're both working on it," she says.
Sarah's Typical Day
- 1/4 cup 100% fruit juice mixed with 1/4 cup water
- 3/8 cup 2% milk
- 1 scrambled egg, made with 2 tablespoons 2% milk and 1/2 teaspoon butter
- 1 slice white bread (1 oz)
- Sandwich: 1 slice white bread (1 oz) and 1 tablespoon peanut butter
- 3 grapes, quartered
- 2 pretzel twists
- 1 nectarine
- 14 plain M&M's
- 5/8 cup 2% milk
- 1/4 cup 100% juice mixed with 1/4 cup water
- 1/4 cup grapes, quartered
- 1 hot dog (no bun), cut up
- 7 French fries
- 1/2 cup lemonade
- 1/2 cup soft-serve vanilla ice cream
Fernando: Full at MealtimesFernando Plata, 3, of Miami dawdles at dinner. Lunch and breakfast as well. "He eats very slowly," says his father, Ignacio. He just doesn't seem to be hungry enough to eat much of his meals, Ignacio says. When his mom, Patricia, tries to speed up the pace, mealtime can get tense.
Like his younger brother, 1-year-old Daniel, Fernando still drinks milk from a bottle, yet he's mastered drinking from a cup. "Even though we don't think he eats a lot," says Ignacio, "his doctor says he's doing fine."
Problems -- and solutions. Fernando's not hungry because he drinks too much! He consumes 18 ounces of whole milk (often with cereal added) from the bottle every day -- plus lots of fruit juice and soft drinks. Frequent snacking with large portions -- a big bowlful of Goldfish (270 calories) plus a cup of Gatorade (60 calories) -- also suppresses his mealtime appetite. Over time, this dietary pattern could contribute to a weight problem.
Fernando eats fast-food hamburgers frequently, which helps him meet his dietary needs for iron and zinc, and all that milk gives more than twice the necessary calcium. But the high-fat foods give him too much saturated fat, not to mention excess protein and calories. It's time to break the bottle habit, for developmental as well as dental reasons; later, he can switch to low-fat milk. Eating smaller, more nutritious snacks (such as whole-wheat pretzels or half a sandwich on whole wheat) would help enhance nutrition without squelching his desire for meals.
One month later. Fernando's off sugary soft drinks and downs no more than about four ounces of juice (a half cup) twice a day. Instead of chips and crackers, he snacks on child-size portions of yogurt. He's also eating more whole-grain cereals. His appetite at mealtime has improved.
Breaking the bottle habit will have to wait until the Platas return from a long overseas vacation -- Fernando's parents don't want to try such a big change until they're back home. He's also still very fond of high-fat fast-food meals.
Fernando's Typical Day
- Bottle: 8 oz whole milk mixed with 2 tablespoons oatmeal-banana cereal
- 4 mini-waffles with 2 tablespoons syrup
- 1/2 cup Fruit Loops and 4 oz whole milk
- 2 oz Goldfish crackers (about 100)
- 1 cup Gatorade
- 1 cup homemade vegetable soup with 2 oz chicken
- 2 fast-food chicken nuggets
- 1/2 small order of fast-food French fries
- 1/2 cup soft drink
- 1/2 cup cubed melon
- 1 cup homemade vegetable soup with 2 oz chicken
- 1 cup macaroni and cheese
- 2 slices of kiwifruit
- Bottle: 6 oz whole milk mixed with 2 tablespoons oatmeal-banana cereal
Adrian: Dream EaterAdrian Hale, 5, of Bedford, MA, is an adventurous eater -- in part because his mom, Jean, resists preparing special meals for him and his sister, 3. "I always serve Adrian and Jaqueline what Mike and I are having for dinner because it's important to expose them to new foods." If they don't try them the first time, they may the second -- or the tenth. One of Adrian's favorite dinners: grilled salmon teriyaki, broccoli, pasta, and milk.
The family's culinary open-mindedness has a downside: Adrian relies on an ever-changing menu. He's a fickle customer. Says Hale, "It's tough to keep up -- I never know what he'll reject next."
Problems -- and solutions. Variety gives Adrian a big nutritional boost: He gets plenty of iron and zinc even though he takes in fewer calories than suggested for his age. (Because Adrian's growing properly, calories aren't an issue.)
More milk would give him more calcium and vitamin D. Since plain milk isn't his favorite, he could try low-fat chocolate milk and smoothies made from low-fat milk and fruit. Cheese and calcium-fortified orange juice are also good choices, although they lack vitamin D. Adrian could eat more fruits, vegetables, and whole grains, though he still does better than most kids.
One month later. Adrian has doubled his whole-grain consumption and cut his juice intake by half. When he does drink juice, it's often orange juice with added calcium. Fortified drinkable yogurt has supplied some missing calcium and vitamin D. Adding chocolate bumped up Adrian's milk intake for a while, but then he lost interest; fruit smoothies didn't fly. Neither did gazpacho or cucumber salad. But Adrian does like sliced cucumbers and celery. He's also increasingly interested in learning about the links between eating right and feeling strong.
Adrian's Typical Day
- 1 hard-boiled egg white
- 1/2 slice whole-wheat toast with 1/2 teaspoon butter
- 5/8 cup 2% milk
- 1/4 cup chopped watermelon
- 1/2 peanut butter-and-rhubarb-jelly sandwich on whole-wheat bread
- 1/2 cup 100% grape juice
- 5 jelly beans
- 2 oz steak teriyaki
- 1/4 cup edamame (soybeans)
- 1 cup cooked pasta with 1 teaspoon grated parmesan cheese and 1 teaspoon butter
- 1/2 cup vanilla yogurt
- 1/2 cup Bran Flakes cereal with 1/2 chopped banana and 1/2 cup 2% milk
A Too-Rich DietLike Sarah, Fernando, and Adrian, most American kids take in more protein than they need, and more than two-thirds of those between ages 2 and 6 consume more saturated fat than is healthy.
Protein. It's a key building block of all cells, yet it doesn't take much to meet a child's needs. For example, eight ounces of milk (one cup) and one ounce of cooked meat (the size of a third of a deck of cards) supply all the protein a 3-year-old needs in a day. For a 5-year-old, just add one more ounce of meat and another cup of milk. Extra protein won't hurt a child with healthy kidneys, but it can crowd out nutrient-rich vegetables and fruit.
Saturated Fat. A childhood diet high in this type of fat can raise blood-cholesterol levels and lead to heart disease in adulthood if dietary patterns don't change. Starting at age 2, children should get no more than ten percent of their calories from saturated fat, although it's okay to make the shift gradually. Trans fatty acids (from partially hydrogenated oils) have similar effects. To cut back on saturated and trans fats, choose leaner cuts of meat, switch from whole to low-fat milk and dairy products, minimize fried fast foods, and limit high-fat commercial baked goods and snacks.
Taste-Test Tips
When introducing new foods:
Who Needs a Vitamin Pill?
Nobody's diet is perfect, least of all a child's. That's why a daily multivitamin/mineral supplement can make sense for many kids. Always check with your pediatrician about your child's individual needs. Best bet: a kids' chewable multi (or a liquid for ages 2 and under) that supplies no more than 100% of the Daily Value for the nutrients on the label. Children who don't eat meat or poultry may need one with iron too.

LEBANON — Although both Eastern equine encephalitis and West Nile virus now have been confirmed in the small York County community of Lebanon, most residents are taking the threat in stride.
The state's first confirmed cases of EEE this year caused the deaths of 30 ringneck pheasants last Thursday on an undisclosed farm in Lebanon. State health officials informed town selectmen Friday, and they alerted residents Monday. West Nile was found last month in mosquito surveillance pools from Lebanon north to Gorham and Standish.
The arrival of the viruses "sounds alarming to people," said state epidemiologist Dr. Stephen Sears. "We have a lot of mosquitoes in Maine in September. Everyone should be aware, but it is not time to be afraid."
Of 45 species of mosquitoes in Maine, only five or six carry these diseases, Sears said.
"All you can do is hope for the best," said Dave Page, who with his wife, Betty, has lived in Lebanon for nearly a half-century.
"I've been worried about (the virus) for years," he added. A neighbor lost a horse to EEE several years ago, he said, and the husband of "a real nice young couple" in town had been diagnosed with an insect-borne disease that caused neurological damage from which he has suffered for two years.
But despite the two viruses hitting so close to home, Page was outside Tuesday tending his wife's zinnias, dahlias and sunflowers. She was working rows of bush beans. He wore a big straw hat for sun protection but not a speck of insect repellent.
"Mosquitoes?" he shrugged. "We have tons of butterflies and dragonflies … and a couple of bats." He's convinced they'll do the trick.
Both Page and his wife admitted that they were disturbed to hear about the EEE discovery. They have found a couple of finches dead on their property this summer, and birds — particularly game birds, such as the infected pheasants in Lebanon — are "highly susceptible" to the viruses, said Sears. Captive birds can suffer fatal infection "because they're so close to each other" in cages "and they can transmit to each other through pecking (order) behavior" that may result in small cuts or scratches. Blood carries the viral infections.
"We know it's in the birds," Sears said. The recent EEE infections had shown up in the same area in which West Nile had been found earlier in August, he said.
Near the Page home, Garrett Paulino, 22, and Justin Fitton, 21, both of Lebanon, were out jogging. Fitton said he was "somewhat concerned" about reports of EEE, but Paulino shrugged off the threat. Neither had used insect repellent before leaving home.
Down the road at Hanson Elementary, the school day was winding down and Stephanie Richard was just arriving with her younger children to pick up her 8-year-old daughter Emma, now in third grade.
She said she hadn't been thinking about EEE or West Nile, but then mentioned that she was awaiting word on the condition of her brother, Adam Herson of Wakefield, N.H., who is being treated for a suspected West Nile infection.
"You do the best you can," said Tammy Baxter, director of operations at Goodall Hospital in nearby Sanford, as she herded her 5-year-old daughter, Jenna, into the car outside the school. "It's no different" than other commonplace risks that require specific precautions, she said. "Like a tick."
Hanson Elementary is next to Lebanon Elementary School, the two properties separated only by a short footbridge over a small creek. It's the kind of prime mosquito-breeding habitat — swamps and wetlands — common in the sprawling rural town of about 4,000.
But there was little evidence of concern as minivans and buses lined up to ferry students home.
"In general, it's been pretty good here," said Tom Ledue, principal of both schools. Already this semester, teachers have been required to provide age-appropriate lessons about the viruses and ways to prevent mosquito bites. "And we're encouraging parents to talk to their children," he said, to provide information and address any fears that might arise.
The intent is to "not put kids into a state of panic," Ledue said, but to demonstrate "the reality of the risk (and) put it in perspective."
"There are far greater risks we face every day," he said. Each of the viruses "looks scary and … is a real thing. But in any given year the flu is going to be a greater risk to them."
Lebanon school officials late last month decided on what Ledue called "a prudent plan" to have the margins of the school properties and playgrounds sprayed with an herbal pesticide after West Nile was discovered.
But the 30 or so children out for Tuesday afternoon recess were interested only in romping around for a few minutes. The mood teachers and other school personnel are trying to create, Ledue said, is to "be really calm and objective, to educate our kids but not scare them. They don't need to be afraid of going outside."
While EEE can be transmitted to people and has been a human health issue, most recently in three Massachusetts cases, in Maine "the biggest concern is horses" (and) "reminding people that they should vaccinate their horses," Sears said.
"It's of concern," he acknowledged, "but it's something we've seen in Vermont, New Hampshire and Massachusetts. We're going to continue to test" and monitor sites around the state, he said, at least through the end of September, or until the first few hard frosts suppress the mosquito populations.

I recently read a great rant about all the terrible things done in the name of religion.
These are things a lot of us have concluded over the years. But....
Lets try a thought experiment. Ancient man never came up with a supernatural explanation to explain the universe.
Without religion - would human history been less brutal?
To paraphrase a famous quote. "With religion man exploits man, without religion the opposite is true".
Views: 159
Without Religion
Could you have a society where the males dominate and the females
are assigned roles as second class citizens. - Yes i think so.
Could you have a group of people who conquer another group for their land
and rationalize that the other group was substandard - Yes, I think so.
I agree with you. Without religion, Homo sapiens are still territorial primates, narcissistic and full of lust.
And given the opportunity, both genders and all races can be pretty brutal. Fortunately, we are moving into an era when women have the chance to be just as mean and exploitational as men, and people of all colors can cheat and steal and exploit other people, ravenously. Just a matter of time.
Without religion I would guess less brutal but also less productive. Religion can be a uniting force among its adherents and the ability for a few people to more easily control large groups of people could have given ancient religious man an advantage.
Once you get to the stage of having developed basic writing and medicine, I think the non religious society would gain the advantage.
