Lose Weight-and Keep It Off-on a High-Protein DietLose Weight-and Keep It Off-on a High-Protein DietEvidence shows that high-protein, low-carb diets aren't just a fadResearchers found that women on a high-protein diet kept more weight off at the end of a year than women on a high-carb dietWeight-loss diets that push protein and restrict carbohydrates have become increasingly popular in the past decade, but do they work? This study says they can. Researchers found that women on a high-protein diet kept more weight off at the end of a year than women on a high-carb diet.
High protein = high rewards
In the never-ending quest to lose extra weight, ideas about the best way to diet come and go. Low-fat diets that emphasize carbohydrates (typically starches and grains) were the standard not long ago, but more recently there has been a shift to low-carb diets that emphasize protein. A number of studies have found that carbohydrate restriction can lead to more rapid weight loss than low-fat diets, but findings from other studies suggest that this difference evens out after one to two years.
The new study followed overweight women between ages 40 and 58 for a year after they finished a three-month weight-loss program:
either a high-protein diet, with 34% of calories from protein, 46% from carbohydrate, and 20% from fat,
or a high-carb diet, with 64% of calories from carbohydrate, 17% from protein, and 20% from fat.
At the end of the year, the women who managed to keep their protein portion up had more sustained weight loss: about 14 pounds (6.5 kg), compared with about 8 pounds (3.6 kg) for those eating the high-carb diet.
It is interesting to note that markers of heart health improved in women on both diets, including total cholesterol, LDL and HDL cholesterol, glucose, insulin, C-reactive protein, and homocysteine levels. These changes were associated with weight loss, but not with the protein content of their diet, suggesting that the road to weight loss might not be as important as the weight loss itself for keeping the heart healthy.
Power proteins
Try the following food sources and recipes for surefire ways to up the protein in your diet:
Fish-Basil Baked Cod Fillets, Salmon with Roasted Chile-Mango Sauce
Soy-Black Soybean and Butternut Squash Stew, Sweet-Glazed Tofu Cutlets
Lean meat-Lime-Jalapeno Chicken, Thai Pork Tenderloin with Grilled Vegetables
Low-fat dairy-Banana Berry Nog, Chickpea Burgers & Tahini Sauce

THE CONGO BASIN RAIN FOREST, Cameroon—In the steamy twilight of the jungle, Gilles Bokande hunkered beside a mossy stump and pinched his nose between his index and middle fingers. Blowing air through the back of his throat, he bleated like a duiker, a tiny forest antelope.
Nothing happened.Trudging a mile deeper into Africa's largest remaining rain forest, Bokande crouched and tried again. Still no response.
"It's harder to find antelope, gorillas, chimpanzees and elephants," said Bokande, a pleasant, wiry man whose teeth are filed to sharp little points. "The forest is getting quieter now."
Across Africa, a remorseless silence is falling over the far untamed corners of a continent that long has symbolized wild nature to a jaded, overindustrialized world.
In places such as the famed gorilla reserves of Uganda, where conservationists are desperately trying to link the needs of dwindling wildlife with those of land-hungry farmers, it is the silence of nature drowned out by the babble of human overpopulation. In countries such as Kenya and South Africa--which grimly lead the continent with 59 and 141 endangered species--it is the quiet absence of wild animals outside of zoolike national parks. And in hot spots like Angola and Congo, it is the pitiable hush that comes after the massacres of wild animals amid terrible civil wars.
But here, deep in the lush rain forests of central Africa, that deadened stillness is even more ominous because it heralds the outside world's final assault on the last true wilderness left on the continent. In a rain forest second only to the Amazon in size, environmentalists are girding themselves for one of the defining conservation battles of the 21st Century: saving an African frontier so wild that its animals don't run away because they have never seen humans before.
"This is the holy of holies," said World Wildlife Fund biologist Paul Noupa, one of the conservationists scrambling to set up wildlife sanctuaries so remote that they probably won't have visitors for years. "If we fail to preserve this place, we can only blame ourselves. All over Africa, you have a long history of conservation. Not here. Here we are starting from scratch, and the clock is ticking."
Until recently, time was of little consequence in the vast rain forest that stretches from Nigeria east to Rwanda.
About a third as big as the continental United States, it was a forgotten refuge for Africa's densest concentrations of animals and for the Pygmies who hunted them with arrows and spears. But since the early 1990s, a timber rush spearheaded by European logging companies has kicked off a classic story of greed and exploitation--a tale that includes an unprecedented slaughter of monkeys, an unseemly turf battle among conservation groups, and a cynical developed world that wants to have its rain forest and eat it too.
Logging and hunting have gone hand in sweaty hand in the Congo Basin for as long as anyone can remember. But both activities have exploded for reasons few could have foreseen.
The depletion of west Africa's forests, where Europe traditionally bought its tropical hardwoods, has launched a stampede of French, German and Middle Eastern logging companies into the more inaccessible jungles of central Africa. At the same time, a regional economic crisis has only accelerated the timber boom: Local currency devaluations in the mid-1990s effectively halved the cost of hauling 800-year-old trees through hundreds of miles of forest to the parquet-flooring and furniture-making markets of Europe and Japan.
In Cameroon, wood production soared 50 percent between 1992 and 1997, the last years for which figures are available.
Strapped for cash because of slumping cacao exports, the government has gratefully seized the $60 million-a-year lifeline created by logging revenues. The story is the same in neighboring Gabon, where declining oil production is stoking the logging trade and where the president, Omar Bongo, owns 500,000 acres of prime timber concessions.
But just as Mercedes-Benz logging trucks have begun rumbling in earnest along the Congo Basin's new mud highways, the public's appetite for wild animal meat surged in the teeming cities of Cameroon, Gabon, Congo and the Central African Republic.
Elephants, antelopes and monkeys have been a staple of local villagers' diets for millenniums, of course. But Africa's swelling urban populations, nostalgic for village foods and flush with money, have turned a subsistence activity into a burgeoning, multimillion-dollar industry.
Newly extended logging roads have become bush meat pipelines plied by poachers who snare and shoot anything in sight. Many logging companies encourage the hunting because it also saves on the cost of shipping beef into the remote jungle towns where their workers live.
"We know it's a problem, and we are even planning to raise a herd of cows for workers to eat," said Thibaut Fuchs, the sawmill manager of the Forestry Association of Cameroon, a French-Cameroonian logging company that selectively harvests mahogany, sapeli and ebony from 200,000 acres of jungle. "But it's an uphill battle. People here say, `You've got to be kidding! Why raise cows? The forest is ours, and the wild animals are everywhere!' "
In hundreds of town markets like the one in Yokadouma, a logging center set like a grubby island in the middle of southeastern Cameroon's oceanic canopy of trees, about a dozen vendors specialize in selling wild animal carcasses. Antelopes, skinned and trussed, look like small greyhounds frozen in mid-stride. Elephant meat is hacked into 2-pound cubes. And smoked sections of an animal's large intestine--possibly from a forest buffalo--look like a charred fire hose.

You've always heard about men who are confident, successful, smart and seem to hold the world in the palm of their hands. Yet, when looking around at the current dating scene, you cannot seem to lay your eyes on one of these mysterious men anywhere. It seems like these men are simply a myth that is passed down from one female to another – or are they?
Happily there are plenty of wildly successful men out there who are ready and willing to date young and attractive women like you. It's just that both of you seem to find it nearly impossible to meet each other on those run of the mill dating sites.

Imagine what it would be like to find a sugar daddy that generously provides everything you would need or want while enjoying romantic walks along a pristine ocean shore. All of your meals are in the most talked about restaurants in town. But, wining and dining is just one part of it.

NORFOLK, Va. — For five minutes to start the second half on Friday, N.C. Central basketball players put on a defensive clinic against Norfolk State.
Players boxed out. They closed out with hands in faces. They cut off passing lanes. They switched under and over screens. They communicated.
"They were helping each other," Norfolk State guard Marese Phelps said. "They were talking on the court. They were calling out all the plays. They knew our plays."
Norfolk State players wilted under such a barrage of defensive pressure and before they knew it were railroaded by an 11-0 run that created a 19-point lead with 15 minutes, 3 seconds remaining. Defending with precision, the Eagles continued to rebound and ride the hips of Spartans' offensive players, grinding out a 68-45 victory in the semifinals of the MEAC tournament at Scope Arena.
Top-seeded N.C. Central advances to the tournament final, where the Eagles will face No. 3 seed Morgan State or No. 7 seed Coppin State on Saturday (6 p.m., ESPNU). This is the first time in school history that the Eagles will play in the finals of a Division I conference tournament.
If the Eagles win Saturday, they would clinch an automatic berth in the NCAA tournament.
The Eagles' rise comes just two seasons after becoming eligible to play in the conference tournament after transitioning from Division II to Division I. The five-year reclassification process started in 2006 and was long and tedious for the entire athletics department.
N.C. Central coach LeVelle Moton, in his fifth season, watched the transition firsthand. He experienced lows and now the highs.
"To be honest, I haven't event reflected on that and I'm kind of scared to reflect on that because then you become sentimental and mushy," Moton said. "This ain't the time for sentimental and mushy. … There were some trials and tribulations. For those of you who were with us when we made the transition to Division I there weren't a lot of people that bought in."
He described the transition to the Will Ferrell movie "Semi-Pro."
"We were trying to do everything to generate a buzz," Moton continued. "To generate a product. To generate fans. To generate fundraising. We weren't wrestling alligators at the half or anything like that. … We didn't have a lot of people in the stands. A lot of people didn't believe."
Now they believe. Among the near-capacity crowd was a large contingent of N.C. Central fans.
They were treated to a defensive showcase. The Eagles, who are allowing opponents 58.3 points per game, held their opponents to just 39 shots and 41.0 percent from the field. They forced 14 turnovers and scored 21 points off of those turnovers.
"Defensively they were very good," Norfolk State coach Robert Jones said. "They did a good job of not letting us get good looks at the rim."
The Eagles were physical in their bumps in the paint. Defenders remained low and were able to keep offensive players off their spots. They played together.
"Regardless if they are way taller than us, way bigger than us, way faster than us," N.C. Central senior guard Emanuel Chapman said, "we play five people. … They are going to have to beat all five of us all the time. That's tough. … It may seem like we have nine or ten people on the court but really we have five. You have to beat everybody."
N.C. Central held Norfolk State's leading scorer Malcolm Hawkins to two points on 1-for-7 shooting from the field.
The Eagles walked off the court at halftime with a less-than-comfortable 32-24 lead. Where they had routed Howard in the quarterfinals, the Spartans, as expected, had lived up to their nicknames, forcing their opponents into a rough-and-tumble game. There were few easy buckets.
It was clear the teams were familiar with each other's style of play, having faced each other at Norfolk State on March 6. The Eagles won 76-70.
Once again on Friday, the teams battled for low-post supremacy for most of the first half. With a sizable height advantage, the Spartans were determined to find room inside, yet the Eagles held firm down low, doubling players on the boxes and monitoring the baseline.
N.C. Central outscored the Spartans 12-8 in the paint. Late in the first half, the Eagles attacked the paint with dribble-drive moves, applying pressure and drawing fouls. They converted 5 of 6 free throws to open a 28-21 lead with 2:11 remaining in the first half.
The Spartans committed seven turnovers in the first half, which the Eagles turned into 12 points.
During one N.C. Central defensive stand, Phelps dribbled helpless above the three-point line, trapped by a rotating man-to-man defense that allowed no room for a pass or shot. He lost his dribble and the Eagles capitalized – MEAC player of the year Jeremy Ingram ran to the wing and nailed a 3-pointer. He finished with 14 points – one of four players to score in double figures.
The Eagles enter Saturday's game on a 19-game winning streak.
"Their chemistry goes farther than their talent," Jones said. "You can tell those guys like playing with each other. They are real brothers on the court."

It was not shipped properly. The box was torn open and there was only 41 bags which most were dirty and torn. William placed a new order which I just got and was perfect.
It was exactly what we needed.
It looked exactly as designed and as expected.
Sturdy and looks great
The product is great and the customer service exceptional. Nothing not to like!
The ordering process was painless from start to finish.
Most: Jade assisted me with my product order to ensure satisfaction. Least: N/A
Irene was VERY helpful. We wanted to print a two color logo on a plastic bag. Initially I was told there had to be a 1/4" space between the two colors. This was not an option as the client didn't want their logo altered. Irene researched the issue and suggested a "stamp" menthod of printing that allowed us to not alter the logo. My client was very happy with the bags!!
We ordered three items this past month for a trade show, and the graphic for each was outstanding. Edwin Fabian was my contact and he did a great job of communicating with me to make the logo work based on the different products, and to assist with some last minute shipping.
The quality of the product was spot on. We had received several samples from other vendors, but none matched the quality of your bag.
The bags we ordered are nice, I guess I didn't understand plastic thicknesses. We'll have to see if they'll hold up during our next job fair.
I couldn't believe the help I received with hardly no effort on my part. Thank you so much.
They were very good and sturdy enough. We used them for a tradeshow and they worked great! Excellent! We're running low and we'll be ordering again.
Product is good.
The online tool used to design the bag showed the imprinted logo MUCH larger. The resulting bag was fine, but not what I designed or hoped for.
Gerri was great to work with, despite the fact that I was all over the place.
The item does the job and the price cannot be beat!
Actual US Service Rep is the only reason we use the services.

If you've been meaning to, but haven't quite got around to seeing "The Nutcracker" this year, you've got one more chance at the Majestic Theatre. The Moscow Ballet returns to San Antonio to perform the ballet on Monday night.
"It's more than my job, it's my life," said the ballet's Natalie Miroshnyk, who is also the audition director that chose the San Antonio children who perform parts with the Moscow Ballet in the production.
Hundreds of school districts from across the state will head back to court on Jan. 21 to once again examine the Texas legislature's formula for funding education. Attorneys are arguing that new money and reduced student testing did little to improve the way Texas finances the public school system.
An immigrant-rights group says fear of deportation is the largest reason why one-third of Texas' immigrant population are not signing up for health care as part of the Affordable Care Act.
People who are in the United States illegally can't participate in the subsidized healthcare program as part of the ACA, but many of them have family members who are eligible.
Alvaro Huerta is with the National Immigration Law Center and says Texas has one of the largest of uninsured Latino populations in the country.
Education experts and state agencies are citing a number of reasons for the lack of first-year educators in the state. In the last four years, the number of new teachers in Texas has seen a sharp decline.
According to a new report, Texas had fewer than 15,000 first-year teachers hired last year, which is down from the 25,000 in 2008. So why the decline? Debbie Ratcliffe with the Texas Education Agency said there are a number of reasons for the drop.
The South San Independent School District has chosen its fifth superintendent in six years. During the selection it was made known that the previous superintendent may have gifted raises without approval.
The South San Board selected former Houston ISD Superintendent Abelardo Saavedra to lead the district while a permanent replacement is selected. Mourette Hodge, the district's recent interim superintendent, stepped down last week without giving reason after being on the job for six months.
San Antonio's largest single piece of art has many fans, both local, and international. It's the San Antonio River, downtown. A pan flute fills the air with South American magic at the River Center Mall lagoon, where the barges circle and head out on their circumnavigation of the river's big horseshoe bend.
I went down the other night to see what people thought about how the city dresses up its River Walk for the Holiday Season.
"My name is Justin Self, and I've been having fun just walking around and seeing all the pretty lights."
"Where are you from?" I asked.
At one time in America, "The Little Tramp" was one of the most recognized characters in the world. Among classic movie characters, I think Dorothy from "The Wizard of Oz" has since surpassed him, but I've been doing my part to introduce my own kids (now 8 and 6) to the joys of silent cinema, and Charlie Chaplin is their favorite star from that era.
Toni picks up her supply of food for the week, but this time she's picking up something extra -- a Christmas tree. She and many more existing clients of the Baptist Temple got the chance to pick out a tree to go along with their holiday meal.
"Some mac and cheese there, there's some rice, and each one of them is different, but we try to make sure that there's some vegetables, some protein," said George Zayas Bazan, the pastor at Baptist Temple. Zayas Bazan said the San Antonio Food Bank distributes food in bulk twice a month -- 16,000 pounds worth.
No one is predicting a white Christmas for San Antonio, no one except Cameo Theatre, a local theater troupe that is putting on a production based on the 1954 musical starring Danny Kaye and Bing Crosby.
Cameo manager Jim Zaccariah talks about their production of "White Christmas."
"It's got a large cast of 25 people. A large ensemble cast," said Zacchariah, who said the group has more or less followed the movie plot, but with a few twists.
"They've added more Irving Berlin songs, so if you're an Irving Berlin fan, this is the musical for you," he said.
In the military, you either have what it takes, or you don't.
Those who don't often face ridicule, embarrassment and shame when they leave training, but unlike days past, now there's a little bit more compassion for this group of forgotten trainees transitioning back to civilian life.
Life inside the gates at Joint Base San Antonio-Lackland is a microcosm of the world outside, but training is an ongoing ritual. Trainees march in step with one another, and are required to make their commutes in pairs.

An 18-year-old Newtown resident and three juvenile males were arrested Nov. 17 on charges that they burglarized a Sandy Hook business.
According to police, the arrests came about at 6:30 a.m. that morning after officers responded to an auto body business at 104 Glen Road on report of a burglary. One juvenile was taken into custody at the scene, police said, while the other two were picked up walking down the street.
The 18-year-old, who police identified as Christopher Mulligan, was arrested about two hours later at his 44 Botsford Hill Road residence, according to police.
All four were charged with third-degree burglary, sixth-degree larceny and third-degree criminal mischief. Mulligan's bond was set at $1,000, while the juveniles were released to the custody of their parents. All are due in court on Dec. 3.
The business was not open at the time. And the estimate of goods allegedly stolen — vehicle parts — is $300, police said.

The Maeveen Marie Behan Conservation Lands System is a long-term vision for protecting the heritage and natural resources of Pima County, protecting biodiversity and providing land-use guidelines consistent with the conservation goals of the Sonoran Desert Conservation Plan.
Conservation Lands are those lands acquired or managed by Pima County or Pima County Regional Flood Control District for various open space purposes, including protection of cultural and natural resources, natural floodplain functions, ranching, scenic beauty and enjoyment by the public in a natural setting. Learn more about Conservation Lands. Learn more about floodplain acquisition and management.
Many Conservation Lands were purchased through bond elections. Pima County code requires that an 11 member Conservation Acquisition Commission oversee implementation of the County's open space bond acquisitions. Learn more about open space and habitat protection using the 2004 bonds.
The Pima County Native Plant Tool contains species distribution listings that are a record of species that have been reported by township/range, and include both native and non-native species.
Pima County's conservation success would not have happened without the help of various partnerships. Our partners range from private citizens to small non-profit groups to federal agencies.

Welcome to the SDCP Map Room! Pima County makes extensive use of Geographical Information System (GIS) technology for making maps. For the Sonoran Desert Conservation Plan, this was an important technology for assembling the extensive existing data, both digital and non-digital, identifyomg critical gaps in the data and potential remedies, and providing a means for analyzing the information on biological and physical resources over the six million acre study area.
SDCP Mapguide was created to display many of the natural resource GIS data layers, but Mapguide is being replaced with PimaMaps. You can use either to make your own overlays on aerial photos, line maps, or USGS topography. Customize your online map while panning and zooming on the data layers of your choice.

Tacoma Police were investigating a shooting early Tuesday morning.
A police spokesman said officers responded to a church parking lot near East 62nd Street and McKinley Avenue East around 1 a.m.
Officers found a car against a fence with five people inside. One person was dead and another had a gunshot wound to what police described as "their backside."
The three others in the car were not injured and were being questioned by police. One of them is believed to be the shooter.
Police are still sorting out what exactly led up to the shooting.

The Geological Society of London is the UK national society for geoscience, providing support to over 10,000 members in the UK and overseas. Founded in 1807, we are the oldest geological society in the world.
Journal of the Geological Society (JGS) aims to publish the most topical and highest quality papers, summarizing the results of recent research across the full range of the Earth Sciences. Papers are frequently interdisciplinary in nature, often refer to regional studies and should emphasize the development of understanding of fundamental geological processes. The implications of regional studies should extend beyond their geographical context. Alternatively more specialized papers can be submitted, but they should be written in a style that is easily understood by non-specialists to illustrate the progress being made in that specific area of the Earth Sciences. Reviews on topics of current interest are also welcome, but they too should be written to cater for non-specialist readers. Specials are short papers on topical or controversial issues in Earth Sciences and receive fast-track reviewing procedures, allowing publication in less than 6 months.
All papers should take up no more than 14 journal pages, or roughly 14 000 words or their equivalent in diagrams and tables. Longer papers can be included at the discretion of the Chief Editor. Specials must be no longer than four journal pages or 4000 words or their equivalent in diagrams and tables.
One limit of the range of papers published is that they should not conflict with the remit of other journals published by the Society; viz. Petroleum Geoscience, Quarterly Journal of Engineering Geology and Hydrogeology, and Geochemistry: Exploration, Environment, Analysis.
The following papers from JGS and Memoir 16 may also be of interest:
The Introduction to Memoir 16
Martin Rudwick's paper on the origins of the Geological Society's Journal
The journal is abstracted and/or indexed in:
Journal of the Geological Society does not carry paid advertising. Our magazine, Geoscientist, is the best way to advertise to our Fellows.

A Visual History of Presidents Awkwardly Meeting the Losers They Defeated
- By Elspeth Reeve
- The Wire
- November 28, 2012
- Leave a comment
President Obama and Mitt Romney will have lunch together in the White House Thursday, part of a quadrennial tradition in which we celebrate the peaceful transition of power (or four more years of the same power) and simultaneously watch the former foes' faces for signs of gloating or petulance. The White House says there will be no press coverage of Obama and Romney's meeting, but luckily we have a long photo archive of past presidents' microexpressions giving away exactly how they feel about the other guy. Before we get to this year's afternoon of awkwardness, here's a visual history of the awkward handshakes and fake smiles of post-election meetings past.
Big bubble of personal space. The distance kept them civil when John McCain and President-elect Obama met November 17, 2008 in Chicago.
But even at that distance, grimaces are hard to hold back.

BEDFORD COUNTY, Tenn. – School officials in Bedford County are investigating a threat.
Around 10 a.m. Wednesday, the school system received notice that a threat had been posted on a bathroom wall in Lebanon that said someone was going to shoot school children in Bedford County.
Lebanon Police notified the school system, but no other details were immediately known.
Fortunately, schools had already dismissed for the day.
Officials said they had extra security at after school programs, and all schools were placed on lockdown as a precaution.

Your 2007 Word of the Year: w00t
In Merriam-Webster's annual contest, the interjection "w00t" beat out "facebook" for word of the year. The esteemed wordsmiths explain the origins of the interjection, defined as "expressing joy (it could be after a triumph, or for no reason at all); similar in use to the word 'yay.'"
This year's winning word first became popular in competitive online gaming forums as part of what is known as l33t ("leet," or "elite") speak—an esoteric computer hacker language in which numbers and symbols are put together to look like letters. Although the double "o" in the word is usually represented by double zeroes, the exclamation is also known to be an acronym for "we owned the other team"—again stemming from the gaming community.
Decent, but not as good as last year's winner, truthiness.

Counselors and teachers are invited to recommend high school students to participate in the City's new job shadow program. Eligible students must be in good standing and attend school in one of the 15 districts in or adjacent to Kansas City, Mo.
"We are looking for students who are interested in shadowing City employees because they have a serious interest in pursuing particular careers," said Thalia Cherry, youth advocate in the City Manager's Office. "Through this program, we are hoping to give students information that will help them make informed educational and career decisions."
Space for this program is limited and requests are being considered on a first come, first served basis. Granted requests will be confirmed a week prior to the job shadow day.
For more information about the City's new job shadow program, call the Youth Advocacy Office (City Manager's Office), (816) 513-1378, or visit www.kcmo.org/youth.

Goodbye, Glasses . . . Hello, Hugs
August 29, 2005 12:00 AM
Bill Hemmer, after 10 years at CNN, joins the Fox News Channel today as an anchor and occasional correspondent. If he looks a bit different, it's because on CNN Mr. Hemmer usually wore glasses. After he left CNN June 17, he had LASIK surgery and now will appear without eyeglasses for the first time in a decade. Mr. Hemmer said he was immediately made to feel welcome at his new home. "They don't greet you here with handshakes. They greet you here with hugs," he said, adding that he got his first hug from Fox News and Fox Television Stations Chairman Roger Ailes. "This was during an editorial meeting," Mr. Hemmer said, adding that he was greeted in a similar fashion by correspondent Geraldo Rivera, judicial analyst Andrew Napolitano and "Fox & Friends'" Steve Doocy, who helped kick Mr. Hemmer's ratings butt by some 372,000 viewers per show when Mr. Hemmer was Soledad O'Brien's co-anchor on CNN's "American Morning." Mr. Hemmer said his Fox show is still undergoing fine-tuning, but he expects it to be fast-paced. "The whole mind-set of cable news viewers is that they are a quick and fickle bunch," he explained. "They want their information now. Don't make 'em wait, because they're going to find it somewhere else and fast-and on their own time, not on your time."-MICHELE GREPPI
Get Your Phil This Week
"Dr. Phil" fans in Los Angeles may want to tape some shows to rewatch during the first week of September. That's because "Dr. Phil" is moving from the NBC affiliate to the CBS station this fall. The last episode on KNBC-TV airs Sept. 2, but the new season won't begin on KCBS-TV until Sept. 12. KNBC will run "The Ellen DeGeneres Show" in "Dr. Phil's" old time slot starting Sept. 5. For those who just can't get enough, KCBS is expected to run several "news" items on Phil McGraw the week before he officially joins the lineup and give the new addition a major promo push. And if you really love Dr. Phil, beginning a week later you can rewatch his show when each episode repeats on KCBS sister station KCAL-TV in early evening. -CHRISTOPHER LISOTTA
The Scare Threshold
Networks try to come up with promotions for their new series that reflect the tone of the show. For its new science-fiction thriller "Threshold," CBS is relying on mystery-and a little fear-to help sell the Friday night drama. A few weeks ago the network sent out small envelopes marked "Confidential," with a hastily scribbled mailing address and no return address. In these troubled times, Blink thought twice about handling the envelope, which held nothing more than a puzzle piece. Three more mysterious envelopes followed to complete the puzzle, which touted "Threshold." According to a network spokeswoman, "Threshold" executive producers Brannon Braga and David Goyer first pitched the series using the analogy of a puzzle, which CBS incorporated into the show's marketing. The response has been mixed. "We got a lot of people saying, 'That was really clever,'" the spokeswoman said. "A couple people called and said, 'I made my assistant open it first.'" -CHRISTOPHER LISOTTA

Thin Clients Booting over a Wireless Bridge
In the 1970s and 1980s, the ubiquitous model of corporate and academic computing was that of many users logging in remotely to a single server to use a sliver of its precious processing time. With the cost of semiconductors holding fast to Moore's Law in the subsequent decades, however, the next advances in computing saw desktop computing become the standard as it became more affordable.
Although the technology behind thin clients is not revolutionary, their popularity has been on the increase recently. For many institutions that rely on older, donated hardware, thin-client networks are the only feasible way to provide users with access to relatively new software. Their use also has flourished in the corporate context. Thin-client networks provide cost-savings, ease network administration and pose fewer security implications when the time comes to dispose of them. Several computer manufacturers have leaped to stake their claim on this expanding market: Dell and HP Compaq, among others, now offer thin-client solutions to business clients.
And, of course, thin clients have a large following of hobbyists and enthusiasts, who have used their size and flexibility to great effect in countless home-brew projects. Software projects, such as the Etherboot Project and the Linux Terminal Server Project, have large and active communities and provide excellent support to those looking to experiment with diskless workstations.
Connecting the thin clients to a server always has been done using Ethernet; however, things are changing. Wireless technologies, such as Wi-Fi (IEEE 802.11), have evolved tremendously and now can start to provide an alternative means of connecting clients to servers. Furthermore, wireless equipment enjoys world-wide acceptance, and compatible products are readily available and very cheap.
In this article, we give a short description of the setup of a thin-client network, as well as some of the tools we found to be useful in its operation and administration. We also describe a test scenario we set up, involving a thin-client network that spanned a wireless bridge.
A thin client is a computer with no local hard drive, which loads its operating system at boot time from a boot server. It is designed to process data independently, but relies solely on its server for administration, applications and non-volatile storage.
Following the client's BIOS sequence, most machines with network-boot capability will initiate a Preboot EXecution Environment (PXE), which will pass system control to the local network adapter. Figure 1 illustrates the traffic profile of the boot process and the various different stages, which are numbered 1 to 5. The network card broadcasts a DHCPDISCOVER packet with special flags set, indicating that the sender is trying to locate a valid boot server. A local PXE server will reply with a list of valid boot servers. The client then chooses a server, requests the name of the Linux kernel file from the server and initiates its transfer using Trivial File Transfer Protocol (TFTP; stage 1). The client then loads and executes the Linux kernel as normal (stage 2). A custom init program is then run, which searches for a network card and uses DHCP to identify itself on the network. Using Sun Microsystems' Network File System (NFS), the thin client then mounts a directory tree located on the PXE server as its own root filesystem (stage 3). Once the client has a non-volatile root filesystem, it continues to load the rest of its operating system environment (stage 4)—for example, it can mount a local filesystem and create a ramdisk to store local copies of temporary files. The fifth stage in the boot process is the initiation of the X Window System. This transfers the keystrokes from the thin client to the server to be processed. The server in return sends the graphical output to be displayed by the user interface system (usually KDE or GNOME) on the thin client.
The X Display Manager Control Protocol (XDMCP) provides a layer of abstraction between the hardware in a system and the output shown to the user. This allows the user to be physically removed from the hardware by, in this case, a Local Area Network. When the X Window System is run on the thin client, it contacts the PXE server. This means the user logs in to the thin client to get a session on the server.
In conventional fat-client environments, if a client opens a large file from a network server, it must be transferred to the client over the network. If the client saves the file, the file must be again transmitted over the network. In the case of wireless networks, where bandwidth is limited, fat client networks are highly inefficient. On the other hand, with a thin-client network, if the user modifies the large file, only mouse movement, keystrokes and screen updates are transmitted to and from the thin client. This is a highly efficient means, and other examples, such as ICA or NX, can consume as little as 5kbps bandwidth. This level of traffic is suitable for transmitting over wireless links.
Linux has become a key foundation for supporting today's rapidly growing IT environments. Linux is being used to deploy business applications and databases, trading on its reputation as a low-cost operating environment. For many IT organizations, Linux is a mainstay for deploying Web servers and has evolved from handling basic file, print, and utility workloads to running mission-critical applications and databases, physically, virtually, and in the cloud. As Linux grows in importance in terms of value to the business, managing Linux environments to high standards of service quality — availability, security, and performance — becomes an essential requirement for business success.

BLAND, Va. —
It wasn't the start or the finish the Bland County Bears were looking for in the opening round of the Mountain Empire District tournament.
The Bears were hoping to avenge a four-point loss less than a week ago to the two-time defending state champion Galax Maroon Tide. The Tide jumped out to 12-point led then held off a furious rally by Bland County to edge the Bears 63-62 on Monday night at Bland High School.
"I knew it was going to be tough," Galax head coach Verl Brown said. "These guys are a great bunch of ball players. I remember when they were all freshmen. Those guys kept getting better every year — [Asher] Dillow, [Chase] Hankins and [Darryl] Clark.
"I knew we had a big challenge and I knew they were going to knock them down. They got three of the best shooters in the league. …I tip my hat off to Rich and those guys.
"They've got a good ballclub. Even if we get knocked out, I'm going to be pulling for them unless we play each at other."
The win keeps Galax's post-season hopes alive. The Maroon Tide (5-15) will play in the MED semifinals Thursday against Grayson County at Fort Chiswell.
Bland County (12-10) will be off a week before playing in the Region C tournament.
"Both teams played extremely hard," Bears head coach Rich Hankins said. "I thought Galax was just a little bit quicker in the first eight minutes. They got to some loose basketballs and second chance opportunities which gave them momentum early.
"As the game went on, I thought our kids got a little bit stronger. Their defensive intensity was fantastic. It was tough way to lose down the stretch.
"Right now, we just don't have any confidence in finishing basketball games. It seems like it's been that way all year for us. We somehow got to find a win. We have to find a way to pull one out next week."
A lay-in and drive by Chase Garvey helped the Maroon Tide build a quick 5-0 lead before Darryl Clark drained a three for Bland County. Two fast break scores allowed Galax to rebuild their lead until Asher Dillow broke Galax's press and converted.
Following a steal, Dillow's fastbreak lay-up made it two-point margin. However, Keyshawn Brown hit a three just before the buzzer to give the Tide a 14-9 advantage after one.
"We've stressed all year to get out and run," Brown said. "We know we have some athletes. This is a whole different bunch from the last two years when we were state champs. This is their own identity.
"It's been hard. We're still fighting."
The margin grew to 12 points in the second quarter following a 6-0 run midway through the quarter. Dillow drained a three to slow Galax's momentum, but the lead stayed near 10 for most of the period.
It wasn't until the final 30 second when Clark converted a fastbreak opportunity then drilled a three from deep to make it 33-27 at the break.
"The [pace] favored Galax early," coach Hankins said. "Our tendency has always been if we get six or eight down, we're going to shoot ourselves right back in it or try. That was my point to the kids at halftime that we were playing way to face. We were giving Galax some extra scoring opportunities."
In the third quarter, the momentum began to shift toward Bland County.
The Bears opened the quarter on a 10-3 run thanks to two three's and drive by Dillow. The last three gave Bland County a 37-36 lead. Galax's Darian Brown hit jumper then Chase Hankins drive to the hoop as the Bears took the lead once again.
Brown found Caleb Pack open underneath to end Bland County's run as the Tide were able to take a 45-41 lead into the final eight minutes.
"It seemed like our defense stepped up and maybe we got an easy basket or two," coach Hankins said. "We started to hit some shots and gained a little confidence."
Every time Galax would grow their lead, the Bears seemed to have an answer.
Hankins scored 12 of his 20 points down the stretch and Dillow added a putback, two free throws and a nice assist to John Miller.
Bland County had a chance to tie the game late when Hankins went to the line for three free throws. The senior could only convert one. After Steven Peoples could only connect on one of his two free throws attempts, Dillow hit his two attempts as Galax fouled before the Bears could get a shot off.
With less than five seconds left, Bland County attempted to foul, but could not get a call.
"It's been tough a year," coach Hankins said. "We have to find a way to pick our heads up and get ready for regionals next week."
Dillow had 21 points to pace the Bears. Hankins added 20 and Clark finished with 15 points. Only two other Bland County players scored.
Pack led Galax with 15 points. Chandler Quesenberry had 12 and Peoples chipped in with 11.

---- — The award-winning Radius Ensemble will perform a unique bird-themed concert at the Shalin Liu Performance Center in Rockport this Saturday.
The concert program, created especially in honor of Cape Ann Winter Birding Weekend, includes both classical and contemporary works that explore birds, said Jennifer Montbach, the artistic director of the seven-piece ensemble comprised of winds, strings and piano.
The Saturday concert also is a special collaboration between Rockport Music and the Cape Ann Chamber of Commerce for the birding weekend, which opens Friday and ends Sunday, with a dovetailing of missions. The chamber said there is still time to register for the weekend's other activities by calling 978-283-1601 or visiting www.capeannchamber.com.
Montbach said that Rockport Music's artistic director David Deveau knew he wanted the ensemble to perform here during the birding weekend.
"He asked us to put together a customized birding program," she said. "It was a challenge because we wanted to stay true to our mission, which is to present interesting works both old and new and both familiar and unfamiliar. So I dug pretty deep. For this concert we have works by Ravel and Schuman, two very well known composers for traditionalists, but we have some more modern works, too."
One of those contemporary pieces is American composer Libby Larsen's "Black Birds, Red Hills," based on six paintings by the American artist Georgia O'Keefe.
The program also includes Schumann's "The Prophet Bird," Morrison's "Lonesome Whistle," and Ravel's "Oiseaux tristes."
Joan Tower, a Grammy Award-winning composer, created the work "Island Prelude."
"This piece is particularly beautiful and is less about a particular bird or bird call, but more about the movement of flight. She describes a lush tropical island and a bird soaring and dipping and diving around the island," said Montbach.
The work of Mason Bates, a young composer, will close out the program. He is the composer-in-residence with the Chicago Symphony. He is a composer who "fuses innovative orchestral writing, imaginative narrative forms and the harmonies of jazz and rhythms of techno," according to the Chicago Symphony website. "His symphonic music has been the first to receive widespread acceptance for its expanded palette of electronic sounds."
His composition "Life of Birds," which is for winds and strings, describes birds and their movements. The work itself has movement titles such as "Parakeet Daydream" and "Old World Flycatcher."
The Radius Ensemble, based in Concord, Mass., was just awarded a 2013 Chamber Music America ASCAP Award for Adventurous Programming on Jan. 20 in New York City.
The annual awards recognize ensembles for distinctive programming of music composed within the past 25 years. The recipients, chosen by an independent panel of judges, were evaluated on the basis of their programming and innovations in attracting audiences to performances of new music.
Gloucester resident Chris Leahy, of the Massachusetts Audubon Society and organizer of the Cape Ann Birding Weekend, is thrilled at this new musical component so residents can not only view birds, but now can hear a concert inspired by birds.
"Our goal is that this weekend be not an event just for hard-core bird people," he said. "Birds appeal to people on a number of levels, starting with the fact they can fly, but on another level, bird song has inspired people forever."
For more concert details and tickets, visit www.rockportmusic.org or call 978-546-7391.

If you are not preparing to plant a fall garden, be sure to do a few things before walking away from it 'till next spring. At a minimum you should be cleaning the dead plants from the garden and covering the area with a couple inches of mulch or some of the leaves that soon will be falling.
For those planting a garden, cauliflower and broccoli always are good bets. They are simple to grow and very healthy vegetables, touting both anti-oxidant and anti-cancer agents.
Mark Twain once said that "A cauliflower is just a cabbage with a college education."
Cauliflower was indeed cultivated from a cabbage somewhere in Asia Minor. At the time, cauliflower was still green and closer related to broccoli. Many credit the Italians with the white version we have today. This variety had leaves that curled up around the head, keeping it out of the sun and blanching it white. In the sixteenth century, it was held in high honor in the French gardens of the aristocrats and Thomas Jefferson planted it at Monticello. But it was not until the 1920's when Italian immigrants planted it in California that it really took off in America.
The head of the cauliflower that we eat is actually the undeveloped flower buds. If you let a cauliflower fully mature, these flower buds eventually will develop small flowers and go to seed.
This unique vegetable is a heavy feeder, so compost is a must. It grows best with regular watering since sporadic watering and drying out will cause the stem to be woody and hinder the leaves from curling around the head. If you do have problems with the leaves, use a clothespin to fasten the leaves around the head to keep out sunlight. Fertilize cauliflower when the first new leaves appear and at the first sign the head is forming. Harvest can happen at any time during head formation without loss in flavor.
Broccoli also was cultivated from a cabbage, originating in the Mediterranean by the ancient Etruscans around 6 BC. The head or florets also are the flower buds of the plant. Broccoli is rich in calcium and many anti-oxidants. That sulfur smell of overcooked broccoli and cauliflower are the sulfur compounds that provide antiviral and antibiotic properties and keep the nutrients inside even after boiling.
Growing broccoli in the fall usually is best. It will mature during cooler days and is sweeter than grown during warmer temperatures, which can cause bolting or small head formation. Broccoli is a heavy feeder; provide a good amount of compost mixed in when planting and water regularly. Broccoli is different from cauliflower in that it produces heads on branches more spaced out. After the first harvest, leave the plant in the ground and harvest smaller florets from the same branches over the next few weeks.

Planting broccoli and cauliflower
If you are not preparing to plant a fall garden, be sure to do a few things before walking away from it 'till next spring. At a minimum you should be cleaning the dead plants from the garden and covering the area with a couple inches of mulch or some of the leaves that soon will be falling.
