SEATTLE – The King County Council waved no red flags Tuesday during a committee hearing on the Seattle sports arena proposal.
But two council members used the public forum to defend themselves from criticism that they had failed to promote efforts to put a new arena in Bellevue instead.
Councilmembers Kathy Lambert and Jane Hague defended their pro-arena position in response to a letter from two Eastside developers charging that the two Republican councilmembers damaged efforts to build a new sports complex on the Eastside. That letter, sent in September, was written by Skip Rowley of Issaquah and Bob Wallace of Bellevue.
In the Sept. 14 letter sent to a long list of Eastside leaders, Rowley and Wallace claimed the two councilmembers "ignored the interest of their constituents in order to support the Arena and that the SODO arena proposal "is a sweetheart deal for the developer at taxpayer expense".
"The heavy handed letter was very heavy handed and take it for what it is," Lambert said at Tuesday's hearing. "I hope that my friends are not former. It's one of the things about being an elected official, you got to have tough skin. Sometimes people say things you wish they weren't and move on from there."
Hague was more direct, noting that Wallace serves on the Safeco Field Public Facilities District Board (his website describes him as the Past Chair of the PFD).
"He's been on the PFD from the beginning and he knows that some of the unfunded and unmet transportation needs go back to the days of the very first Arena so we need to put this all in perspective," said Hague. "We have to own up to what we've done in the past and how it influences what we're doing in the present."
Hague continued, "There are some people that would like to see a hockey team on the Eastside or any kind of an Arena, but there is no Eastside will for it right now, and there is no Eastside funding mechanism to attract a team or investors."
Wallace, when reached by phone Tuesday, called the letter "old news". But he stood by its charges. "They both flipped on the issue, just like they did on transit," Wallace said.
He also said his position on the PFD is not connected to his SODO arena opposition. "It's not a Safeco Field issue as much as it is a Port of Seattle issue, a regional issue," Wallace said. He said Key Arena, Memorial Stadium, the old Associated Grocers warehouse site in South Seattle, and Bellevue would be better locations for a new sports complex.
Wallace conceded that barring legal challenge or public outcry, "which there doesn't appear to be," the Arena proposal will continue to move forward.
Most of the hearing before the council's Budget Committee was spent reviewing the Seattle City Council's changes to the Memorandum of Understanding with the private group led by Chris Hansen. Council members expressed optimism about the city's changes and voiced their approval of the transportation fund that would be created by the SODO arena proposal.
A pair of council members said they wanted some minor changes. Councilmember Julia Patterson said she would sponsor another amendment to make it clear the fund does not "jump the line" for any federal matching dollars, and that any potential SODO project using federal dollars does not get any preferential position from the county or city.
Lambert said that any environmental reviews of the arena plan should include consideration of a site outside the Seattle city limits. A council staff report indicated the Memo of Understanding reached between Hansen and the city and county would only consider "reasonable alternatives" to the SODO site, and only included a "no action" alternative and alternative site at Seattle Center.
Committee Chairman Joe McDermott said he hopes the council will vote on the revised arena deal as early as Monday, Oct. 15. He said the goal is to have both council vote on the deal on the same day. Another vote in the City Council would be required if the County Council makes any changes to the proposal.

Scientist learning a collection of skulls in a Spanish cavern determined both Neandertal-derived functions and features linked with additional primitive humans in these bones. This "mosaic design" sustains a theory of Neandertal evolution that suggests Neandertals established their determining functions individually, and at various times– not at one time. Having this brand-new information from the Sima de los Huesos site, as the Spanish cave is called, has actually allowed researchers to much better comprehend hominin development during the Middle Pleistocene, a duration in which the path of hominin evolution has been debatable.
"The Middle Pleistocene was a long period of concerning half a million years during which hominin progression really did not continue with a sluggish process of adjustment with simply one type of hominin silently evolving in the direction of the traditional Neandertal," said lead author Juan-Luis Arsuaga, Professor of Paleontology at the Complutense College of Madrid.
"With the heads we discovered," co-author Ignacio Martinez, Instructor of Paleontology at the University of Alcala, added, "it was feasible to characterize the cranial morphology of a human population of the European Middle Pleistocene for the first time.".
Regarding 400 to 500 many thousand years back, in the heart of the Pleistocene, archaic humans split off from various other teams of that period living in Africa and East Asia, eventually settling in Eurasia, where they advanced characteristics that would certainly come to specify the Neandertal lineage. Since of this, modern people ultimately switched out Neandertals.
The degree of aberration between Neandertals and modern humans over such a brief amount of time has actually shocked scientists. Why did Neandertals distinguish so quickly from various other very early hominins? What pattern of changes did Neandertals undergo?
To respond to these concerns, scientists require an accurate photo of European populations around 400,000 years back, the early stages of the Neandertal family tree. This has been tough, nevertheless, given that the European fossil record– a vital tool for responding to these inquiries– is separated and dispersed, including continues to bes from unlike timelines. Examples at the Sima de los Huesos site in Atapuerca, Spain, nonetheless, are different.
"Exactly what makes the Sima de los Huesos website distinct," Arsuaga mentioned, "is the unmatched and remarkable build-up of hominin fossils there; absolutely nothing fairly so large has actually ever been uncovered for any extinct hominin types– consisting of Neanderthals.".
"This website has actually been excavated continually since 1984," Martinez included. "After thirty years, we have actually bounced back virtually 7,000 human fossils matching to all skeletal areas of a minimum of 28 people. This extraordinary collection includes 17 fragmentary heads, many which are very full.".
The 17 skulls concern a single population of a fossil hominin types. A few of have actually been examined previously, however seven are presented anew right here, and six are more complete than before. With these intact examples at their fingertips, the scientists acted characterizing determining features.
Their job has aided address hypotheses concerning Neandertal evolution, especially the accretion model hypothesis, which recommends that Neandertals progressed their determining features at different times, not in a single direct sweep.
"For years the character of the transformative procedure that produced Neanderthals has been reviewed," described MartÃ�Ânez. "An essential concern in these arguments was whether the 'neandertalization procedure' included all regions of the skull from the start, or if, on the contrary, there were numerous phases in this procedure that had an effect on various parts of the skull at different times.".
The researchers' head examples showed Neandertal attributes present in the face and teeth, yet not somewhere else; the neighboring braincase, as an example, still showed functions associated with additional primitive hominins.
"We think based on the morphology that the Sima individuals belonged to the Neanderthal clade," Arsuaga mentioned, "although not always direct ancestors to the traditional Neanderthals." They were part of an early European lineage that includes Neanderthals, but is more primitive compared to the later Pleistocene variety.
Seriously, some of the Neandertal-derived attributes the analysts observed were connected to chewing, or chewing. "It seems these alterations had to do with an extensive use of the frontal teeth," Arsuaga said. "The incisors reveal a terrific wear as if they had been made use of as a 'third hand," normal of Neanderthals.".
The job of Arsuaga et al. proposes that facial adjustment was the primary step in Neandertal advancement. This mosaic pattern fits the forecast of the accretion model.
"One thing that surprised me concerning the skulls we evaluated," Arsuaga said, "is just how similar the different individuals were. The various other fossils of the same geological duration are different and don't suit the Sima design. This indicates that there was a great deal of range among different populaces in the center Pleistocene.".
Definitely, other European Middle Pleistocene Humanity do not display the collection of Neandertal-derived functions viewed in this fossil group. Therefore, greater than one evolutionary family tree appears to have actually existed together throughout the European Middle Pleistocene, with that represented by the Sima example being closer to the Neandertals.
Arsuaga and his group were delighted to work with this effort. "Finding a solitary tooth is an excellent success in other website of comparable age, so picture just what it is like to painstakingly reconstruct 17 heads," he mentioned. "It's like finding a treasure.".
Scientist learning a collection of skulls in a Spanish cavern identified both Neandertal-derived attributes and features linked with additional primitive humans in these bones. About 400 to 500 many thousand years earlier, in the heart of the Pleistocene, archaic humans split off from other teams of that duration living in Africa and East Asia, inevitably clearing up in Eurasia, where they evolved features that would come to define the Neandertal lineage. Due to the fact that of this, modern people at some point changed Neandertals.
Why did Neandertals distinguish so swiftly from other early hominins? To address these questions, scientists have actually needed a precise image of European populaces around 400,000 years back, the early phases of the Neandertal family tree.

MOORE — When coach Stephanie Riley begins a season, she has the big picture in mind. For her Moore fastpitch team, that means making sure the players know what they are playing for before the season even begins.
"We are looking good for our 2013 season," Riley said. "We began preparing for the state tournament on July 1st and everyday is a continuation and working toward the big game."
However, the Lions haven't captured a state title since 2007. They came close last year, but fell in the championship game to Edmond North.
Yet, MHS comes into the season with high expectations.
"This team has the potential to be very fun to watch," Riley said. "We began practicing on the field on July 26th and I do not think there has been a day that we have not laughed about things happening on the field. We have a few characters that make coaching life very enjoyable."
The Lions first game took place Friday in a contest that was supposed to be played at MHS. However, due to rains the night before, it was moved to Carl Albert.
Moore was back on the field Monday when it decimated Norman 16-1. Tuesday it hosted Edmond North in a district contest.
"Since last October, we have been working on the mental aspect of the game and learning to work through situations that seem impossible," Riley said. "They began their practices on July 1 with two Crossfit coaches and our Women's soccer coach. They were asked to do things that they didn't think they could and they learned to persevere. It was amazing to see them grow as student-athletes in those four weeks of training."
As the Lions go through the season, Riley will be looking to her upperclassmen to lead the team back to a championship level.

Comcast Corp. this week launched Internet Essentials, what is calls "an ambitious and comprehensive broadband adoption experiment" — providing monthly Internet access for $9.95 for qualifying families.
According to a release, it's the first program to address three of the primary barriers to broadband adoption that research has identified:
1. A lack of understanding of how the Internet is relevant and useful
2. The cost of a home computer, and
3. The cost of Internet service.
Available to low-income families in the Pittsburgh area with children who are eligible to receive free lunches under the National School Lunch Program, the goal of Internet Essentials is to help close the digital divide and ensure more Americans benefit from all the Internet has to offer, the release stated.
"While America has increasingly become a digital nation, many low-income families in the Pittsburgh area are being left at a disadvantage because they don't have Internet service at home. I am glad to see that Comcast is working to make sure more households in Pittsburgh can afford to adopt broadband service," said U.S. Rep. Mike Doyle in a statement. "I encourage parents, educators, community leaders and other government officials to join in this effort, spread the word and help increase broadband adoption in our community."
Said Mayor Luke Ravenstahl: "Too many of Pittsburgh's young residents unfortunately do not have the benefits of a home computer and Internet service. I commend Comcast for addressing this issue, and for helping to connect our city's students with the advantages of service. It is my hope that opportunities like this, combined with programs like the Pittsburgh Promise, will help even more Pittsburgh students receive and achieve success as young adults."
According to David L. Cohen, executive vice president of Comcast, "The Internet is a great equalizer and a life-changing technology. Internet Essentials helps level the playing field for low-income families by connecting students online with their teachers and their school's educational resources and by enabling parents to receive digital literacy training so they can do things like apply for jobs online or use the Internet to learn more about health care and government services available where they live."
Interested? Here's what you need to know:
Service Details:
Internet Essentials participants will receive:
- Residential Internet service for $9.95 a month;
- No price increases, no activation fees, or equipment rental fees;
- A voucher to purchase a low-cost computer for $149.99 + tax; and
- Access to free digital literacy training in print, online or in person.
Additional benefits include a 30-day money-back guarantee and a complementary Suite — $160 value — for comprehensive online security protection.
A household is eligible to participate in the Internet Essentials program if it meets all of the following criteria:
- Is located where Comcast offers Internet service;
- Has at least one child eligible to receive a free school lunch under the NSLP;
- Has not subscribed to Comcast Internet service within the last 90 days; and
- Does not have an overdue Comcast bill or unreturned equipment.
Comcast will sign up eligible families in the program for at least three years and through the end of the 2013-14 school year. Any household that qualifies during this three-year period will remain eligible for Internet Essentials provided the household still qualifies for the program until that child graduates from high school.
For general information about Internet Essentials, please visit www.internetessentials.com for English or www.internetbasico.com for Spanish. Educators or third parties interested in helping to spread the word can find more information at www.internetessentials.com/partner.

Pearl Izumi P.R.O. Thermal Long Sleeve Jersey - Men's
Retail Price: $159.95buy now
Our Price: $71.98
Our Price: $71.98
Sometimes it is too cold for a normal long sleeve jersey, but not quite cold enough to break out the winter jacket. On those in-between days, the Pearl Izumi P. R. O. Thermal Long Sleeve Jersey is the medium ground you need to stay warm without weighing you down. Made with the P. R. O. Thermal fabric with Minerale, this Pearl Izumi long sleeve jersey keeps you insulated from the cold while working to transfer any build-up of sweat moisture to the exterior of the jersey. The Minerale fibers also have the added advantage of being odor resistant and help speed up the drying time of the jersey. The front zipper is reinforced with an internal draft flap and a zipper garage so that you won't be feeling the cold through that notoriously difficult-to-insulate area. Since the arm cuffs are also often a weak link in a jersey's insulation chain, Pearl Izumi has designed these cuffs to be ergonomically cut to give you more coverage over the top of the wrist and towards your hand. This way they'll form a well-sealed barrier against cold air along with your gloves. The rear of the jersey bottom is cut longer than the front to protect your backside against the elements. It has an elasticized gripper along the inside of the hem to hold it in place even when the pockets are loaded. And speaking of the pockets, the designers at Pearl Izumi have out-done themselves by giving this jersey three rear pockets, one of which is zippered and sweat-proof, and one front chest pocket so that you can stash items you'll want to reach easily. You'll be able to answer your phone so fast, there'll be no way your boss could know you're not working at your desk. The Pearl Izumi P. R. O. Thermal Long Sleeve Jersey comes with reflective elements all around. It is available in Black/true red and True Red/black. The sizes range from Small through XX-Large.

Williams can't believe the New York Giants weren't punished by the NFL for targeting him in last year's NFC championship game. The punt returner whose mistakes cost the 49ers a chance to make the last Super Bowl, and who will miss Sunday's game with an injured left knee, says Wednesday he is "shocked" that the Giants escaped discipline.||||||| He wonders why the NFL clamped down so heavily on the Saints during the bounty scandal, yet New York linebacker Jacquain Williams and receiver Devin Martin were not punished after admitting they went after Williams. Williams says "the only thing crazy to me was that nothing came of it after they came down so much on the Saints."
San Francisco 49ers wide receiver and return man Kyle Williams says he will miss the rest of the season with a torn ligament in his left knee sustained in Sunday's win at New Orleans. Williams posted on his Twitter account Monday that he has a torn anterior cruciate ligament in his left knee. Surgery would be the likely next step.||||||| Williams and running back Kendall Hunter both were hurt on the same play during the second half of Sunday's 31-21 win over the Saints. Both were helped off the field and were soon after taken by cart to the locker room. They were injured on a running play in which Hunter carried the ball for a 2-yard gain late in the third quarter.
The San Francisco 49ers were are without two wide receivers for the regular season finale, with wide receiver and return man Ted Ginn Jr. sidelined by an ankle injury and Kyle Williams out with a concussion.||||||| Neither practiced all week. Brett Swain, who entered Sunday's game against the St. Louis Rams with one reception, starts for Ginn. Wide receiver Joe Hastings was promoted from the practice squad.

In the online aftermath of a tweet calling state Sen. Wendy Davis, D-Fort Worth, a "Retard Barbie" and an "idiot," a group advocating for Texas women in politics said they have had an outpouring of support.
The tweet was sent on Saturday by Denton Attorney Jeff Rutledge as a comment on the 2014 governor's race, which is currently without a commitment from Davis, and earned a "thanks" from Republican gubernatorial candidate Greg Abbott:
The Environmental Protection Agency is requiring new labels on certain pesticides that may harm bees and other pollinators, just one effort in an ongoing multi-layered campaign to strengthen the bee population.
In May the U.S. Department of Agriculture released a report showing scientific consensus that there are a complex set of stressors associated with the decline in honey bee populations, including loss of habitat, parasites and disease, genetics, poor nutrition and pesticide exposure.
Of the $10.8 million given to Texas groups by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services for the Affordable Care Act's "navigator" program, the Texas chapter of Migrant Health Promotion received over $580,000.
The group will be promoting healthcare solutions to the hundreds of thousands of migrant workers in South Texas.
Texas Public Radio this month was honored with seven Lone Star Awards for broadcast and online journalism. The Lone Star Awards is a statewide competition that recognizes outstanding achievements in journalism and mass communication, and is organized by the Houston Press Club.
On Friday Burnet County Judge Allan Garratt ruled that the case brought against Llano ISD for its use of the online CSCOPE lesson plans had no merit under current state law.
Garratt questioned whether the case against Llano ISD and its superintendent Casey Callahan had any merit because it did not prove injury based on the use of CSCOPE lesson plans.
Attorneys for Llano schools argued that this type of lawsuit must go through state court and must be argued by the attorney general and involve the education commissioner.
Worshipping the Ancestors is common around the world, but what about when they come seeking you? That's the scenario at The Hungry Ghost Festival in China.
This weekend marks the 200th anniversary of the Battle Of Medina, often referred to by historians as the bloodiest battle in Texas history.
Historians are planning a two-day ceremony commemorating the Aug. 18, 1813 battle between the Royal Spanish Army and the Republican Army of the North.
About 3,200 men -- including Spaniards, Tejanos, Native Americans, and men from the U.S. -- fought 20 miles south of San Antonio for ownership of Texas.
Texas Matters: The embattled Texas school finance system continues to discriminate against districts in poorer areas. Right now the Johnny Manziel autograph controversy is one of the biggest storylines in sports, and Texas Monthly explores his role as an American anti-hero. Also on this episode: Texas contract workers have little protection from injury and wage theft, but the Workers Defense Project is trying to change that. Sunday is the 200th anniversary of the "tremendous slaughter" that was the Battle of Medina.
Fronteras: Excessive alcohol consumption cost United States taxpayers more than $220 billion in 2006. Several hundred people living on the banks of the Tijuana river canal were evicted. What are they planning to do now? Immigrant families in the U.S. with mixed status wonder about the fate of immigration reform now that Congress is in recess.

About 300 people gathered outside San Antonio City Council chambers Wednesday evening for a protest and prayer vigil demonstrating their opposition to the city's proposed anti-discrimination ordinance.
The ordinance would consolidate existing policies for race, gender, age and disability, and would add language to prohibit discrimination against sexual orientation, gender identity and veteran status. The ordinance covers employment practices for the City of San Antonio and those of city contractors.

Gentry's options with starting lineup
November 19, 2012: Gentry searching for right combination
Suns head coach Alvin Gentry is doing his best political impersonation: He's promising change.
The question then becomes how much change. How much is Gentry willing to change his starting lineup?
"We'll probably will make one. Or two. Or three. I don't know," he said after practice Monday. "We will make a change."
Gentry though wasn't prepared to announce what change or changes he and his staff have decided upon.
In the team's first eleven games, there have been 75 different five-man combinations on the floor at any given moment. Many of those five-man units, however, saw less than five minutes of playing time.
"I'm pleased with most of the guys," Gentry said. "I'm just not pleased with them collectively�maybe it's just not the right combination of guys."
Let's examine then the combination of guys with 10 or minutes of court time together that have been successful according to nba.com/stats:
Dragic, Dudley, Beasley, Morris, Gortat are a plus-15 shooting 54.8% in 20 minutes over seven games
Dragic, Dudley, Brown, Morris, Gortat are a plus-9 shooting 54.2% in 14 minutes over three games
Telfair, Brown, Tucker, Morris, Gortat are a plus-8 shooting 42.3% in 15 minutes over four games
Dragic, Brown, Tucker, Beasley, Gortat are a plus-8 shooting 52.4% in 11 minutes over three games
The Suns have gone six straight games without a lead after the first quarter; and they've been outscored in their last three and four of their last five games in the third quarter.
Those slow starts---either at the beginning of games or following halftime, is what Gentry is trying to correct with a lineup change(s).
"Us having to battle our way back," he said, "I think its cost us a few games in that we have to battle so hard to get back even."

State and local emergency responders were called to a Cortlandt home after reports that someone tried to take his own life using dangerous chemicals.
Lt. Doug Larkin of the New York State Police said a married man between the ages of 55 and 60 had emailed a friend saying that he was going to commit suicide and warning that responders would need to use self-contained breathing apparatus.
State police and hazmat teams from local fire departments responded to 42 Westminster Drive before 5 p.m. The cul-de-sac was blocked off and residents of four nearby homes were evacuated.
At 6:46 p.m. the scene at 42 Westminster Drive swarmed with police and EMTs waiting for a crime-scene containment crew. State Police said Hazmat teams cleared the house and located the male subject alive.
He was taken into custody without incident and transported to Westchester Medical Center in Valhalla for further evaluation.
Last year, an Irvington man in a closed car; police called to the scene found "CALL HAZMAT" signs taped to the windows. The national Centers for Disease Control began tracking "chemical suicides" several years ago.

Suwannee Democrat
Live Oak —
The Suwannee River Water Management District (District) uses prescribed fire or controlled burning, as it is sometimes called, as part of its strategy to maintain natural resources and reduce the risk of wildfires.
In recognition of Prescribed Fire Awareness Week 2013, Jan. 27 to Feb. 2, the District is providing information on the benefits of prescribed fire.
Prescribed fire helps facilitate overall ecological restoration by enhancing native upland and wetland vegetation and improving habitat for native wildlife. Prescribed fire is also used to reduce fuel levels in the forest to help lower the intensity of any possible wildfire. Other benefits of controlled burns include plant disease control, soil nutrient restoration and aesthetic improvement.
Burn seasons are divided into dormant season (fall/winter) and growing season (spring/summer). Each burn area is given a burn season prescription depending on weather conditions, fuel levels, and the burn objective for the area. Burn frequency for each tract of land is based on fire return intervals – how frequently those areas would burn naturally.
On average the District burns 7,000-12,000 acres per year. The District has burned 2,657 acres since October, but most of the activity typically occurs in late winter and spring. Ultimately, weather patterns determine how many acres are burned. Too much rain can make burning ineffective or even impossible. Too little rain can lead to unsafe conditions for any type of open fire. Control burns on District land is conducted only by contractors or agency personnel that are certified by the Florida Forest Service.
The District is planning on controlled burns for the following counties this year: Lafayette, Dixie, Taylor, Suwannee, Jefferson, Hamilton, Columbia, Levy, Madison, Gilchrist, Bradford and Alachua.

- Health Notes
Fructo-oligosaccharides (FOS) and Other OligosaccharidesFructo-oligosaccharides (FOS) and Other OligosaccharidesThis nutrient has been used in connection with the following health goals
- Reliable and relatively consistent scientific data showing a substantial health benefit.
- Contradictory, insufficient, or preliminary studies suggesting a health benefit or minimal health benefit.
- For an herb, supported by traditional use but minimal or no scientific evidence. For a supplement, little scientific support.
Our proprietary "Star-Rating" system was developed to help you easily understand the amount of scientific support behind each supplement in relation to a specific health condition. While there is no way to predict whether a vitamin, mineral, or herb will successfully treat or prevent associated health conditions, our unique ratings tell you how well these supplements are understood by the medical community, and whether studies have found them to be effective for other people.
For over a decade, our team has combed through thousands of research articles published in reputable journals. To help you make educated decisions, and to better understand controversial or confusing supplements, our medical experts have digested the science into these three easy-to-follow ratings. We hope this provides you with a helpful resource to make informed decisions towards your health and well-being.

Several double-blind trials have evaluated the efficacy of fructo-oligosaccharides (FOS) or inulin (a related compound) for lowering blood cholesterol and triglyceride levels. These trials have shown that in individuals with elevated total cholesterol or triglyceride levels, including people with type 2 diabetes, FOS or inulin (in amounts ranging from 8 to 20 grams daily) produced significant reductions in triglyceride levels; however, the effect on cholesterol levels was inconsistent.1, 2, 3, 4 In people with normal or low cholesterol or triglyceride levels, FOS or inulin produced little effect.5, 6, 7References

In a double-blind trial, the addition of a mixture of 90% galacto-oligosaccharides and 10% fructo-oligosaccharides to infant formula prevented the development of eczema in infants who were at high risk of developing eczema. The incidence of eczema in the first six months of life was 9.8% in the group receiving oligosaccharides, compared with 23.1% in the placebo group, a statistically significant difference. The product used in this study was designed to mimic the oligosaccharide content of human milk, and was added at a concentration of 0.8 grams per 100 ml.1ReferencesType 2 DiabetesDose: Refer to label instructionsIn a preliminary trial, supplementation with fructo-oligosaccharides (FOS) (8 grams per day for two weeks) significantly lowered fasting blood-sugar levels and serum total-cholesterol levels in people with type 2 diabetes.1 However, in another trial, supplementing with FOS (15 grams per day) for 20 days had no effect on blood-glucose or lipid levels in people with type 2 diabetes.2 In addition, some double-blind trials showed that supplementing with FOS or galacto-oligosaccharides (GOS) for eight weeks had no effect on blood-sugar levels, insulin secretion, or blood lipids in healthy people.3, 4 Because of these conflicting results, more research is needed to determine the effect of FOS on diabetes and lipid levels.References

The average symptom severity decreased by 44% in the group receiving fructo-oligosaccharides.1ReferencesPre- and Post-Surgery HealthDose: Refer to label instructions
One preliminary study found iron levels to be reduced after both minor and major surgeries, and iron supplementation prior to surgery was not able to prevent this reduction.1 A controlled trial found that intravenous iron was more effective than oral iron for restoring normal iron levels after spinal surgery in children.2 One animal study reported that supplementation with fructo-oligosaccharides (FOS) improved the absorption of iron and prevented anemia after surgery,3 but no human trials have been done to confirm this finding. Some researchers speculate that iron deficiency after a trauma such as surgery is an important mechanism for avoiding infection, and they suggest that iron supplements should not be given after surgery.4References

The term "oligosaccharide" refers to a short chain of sugar molecules ("oligo" means "few" and "saccharide" means "sugar.") Fructo-oligosaccharides (FOS) and inulin, which are found in many vegetables, consist of short chains of fructose molecules. Galacto-oligosaccharides (GOS), which also occur naturally, consist of short chains of galactose molecules. These compounds can be only partially digested by humans.1, 2, 3, 4 When oligosaccharides are consumed, the undigested portion serves as food for "friendly" bacteria, such as Bifidobacteria and Lactobacillus species.

Comments about NATURES SECRET Nature's Secret® Ultimate Cleanse:
A friend of mine uses this product, along with The Nature's Secret "Super Cleanse", and she let me try a few of her caplets. I found almost immediate results! I take a lot of different meds for pain because of back surgery and I was always constipated from their use. I tried regular laxatives, and it was "hit & miss" with these. When I tried these products, "Super Cleanse & Ultimate Cleanse" together, I have regular bowel movements daily. I cannot see myself living without taking these everyday! I highly recommend this product.

Mineral Wells Index
By VIVIAN CONRAD
As my mother progresses through her 80s, she is becoming more proactive about addressing items on her bucket list.
Within the past few years she has ticked off cruises with my dad through the Panama Canal, Alaska coast and Amazon River.
Sometimes my siblings and I get pulled into the experience, as we did at last October's Balloon Festival in Albuquerque, New Mexico.
Several weeks ago Mom overheard me planning a trip to Georgia to help my missionary daughter pack crates for their move to Indonesia.
Seizing the opportunity to fulfill another wish from her list, Mom hijacked my trip and rescheduled us for a stopover in Plains, Ga. It has been her longtime desire to attend a Sunday school class taught by former President Jimmy Carter.
So that's how we found ourselves being frisked by Secret Service agents two Sunday mornings ago. They carefully screened every person who entered the country church on the outskirts of Plains.
Sitting in the second row of the small auditorium, Mom and I experienced a moment of awe as the former president entered the room. I had come of age just in time to vote for Jimmy Carter in my very first presidential election. Now, here was the man himself, dressed modestly in a blazer and bolo tie, his mind sharp and agile.
Having learned that I was a retired missionary, Mr. Carter asked me to open the session with prayer. He then launched into a Bible lesson with quiet passion, his words and expression filled with love for the Lord and for Scripture.
After the morning worship service, he and his wife – pronounced Rose, like the flower, Lynn – allowed us to be photographed with them before they boarded a plane for Washington, where they would attend President Barack Obama's inauguration the next day.
I hadn't thought much about it before that day, but meeting Jimmy Carter has now been added to my own list of life highlights.
From the perspective of my work at the Senior Center, he embodies the best of elder adulthood. At age 88 he keeps physically fit through daily exercise and stays actively involved in national and global issues. Whether providing homes for the homeless through Habitat for Humanity, negotiating peace in war-torn countries or supporting his rural community's culture and economy, he makes the welfare of others his personal priority.
"Active." "Engaged." "Involved." These words typify a life of purpose and meaning at any age, but are especially significant for seniors.
Older adults bring a wealth of knowledge and experience to any situation. When our seniors step forward as volunteers and mentors in our community, everyone benefits. You don't have to negotiate peace treaties in foreign countries to help make your own hometown a stronger and better place.
Speaking of volunteers, we welcome help from anyone who'd like to be involved in our upcoming annual Garage Sale. The Senior Center can supply donation receipts for any contributions, and we need people to help sort through and price donated items. We would also be grateful for donations of food and snacks for our workers during the week of March 4-5. Call (940) 325-6470 for more information.
Tax help is coming. On Feb. 7 we will begin offering our annual Free Income Tax Preparation Assistance. Help will be available on a first-come, first-served basis from 8:30 a.m. to noon every Thursday in February, March and through April 11. You don't have to be a senior to take advantage of this opportunity.
If you haven't yet visited Mineral Wells Senior Center, how about adding us to your bucket list experiences. This is a great place to stay active and involved. Stop by today for a daily menu and activities calendar.

- Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
- Layer the spinach in the bottom of a 2 quart baking dish. Lay the rockfish atop the spinach. Scatter the tomatoes around the fish. Pour the broth into the dish. Season the fillet with the dill, garlic powder, lemon pepper, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Place the lemon, onion, and butter on the rockfish. Cover the entire dish with aluminum foil.
- Bake in preheated oven until the fish flakes easily, 20 to 25 minutes.

This recipe was a nice way to use the rockfish we found. Instead of a vegetable broth, we used chardonnay with the fish and it was both filling and delicious. Be wary - the spinach really cooks down significantly. Five cups of spinach really means five cups of spinach. The cooking dish will start to look ridiculously full, but keep adding that spinach because it reduces down to a fairly small bed once cooked. We second-guessed the amount and ended up sadly short on spinach.
Denise M.
This was a great recipe, but I made a few changes. I heeded the other reveiwers' suggestion that there was too much broth in this recipe and substituted 1/2 cup canned clam juice for the vegetable broth. I had no fresh dill, so I used 1 teaspoon of dried. I salted and peppered the fish after settling it on the spinach, then thoroughly mixed all the other spices in a small prep bowl and sprinkled on top of the fillets before covering with the onion and lemon slices. My fillets were rather thick, so I found it necessary to add about 7-8 minutes to the baking time. I suggest checking to see if the fish flake easily with a fork after 25 minutes, then adding more time if necessary. Presentation is key, so I used a slotted spatula to slide under each fillet and spinach and then onto the plate, then garnished with the cerry tomatoes. Delicious and a great presentation for a dinner when you want to impress. BTW, I had fresh rockfish caught the day before in the Chesapeake Bay so this helped with achieving a final result that was memorable!
Seattle Dad
Substitution: Chardonnay for Vegetable Broth (Who has this stuff in their house anyway?) and Red Snapper for Rockfish I also sliced up the entire lemon and covered all the fillets with them. I don't think it made much difference. I didn't season with salt and pepper whatsoever. I tend to leave that for the table. This is a nice, simple way to prepare some fish. I think using the wine altered the taste profile a bit, so I'd likely make some other seasoning choices next time, but I liked it overall.

LAWRENCE, Kan. — Toni Young had 15 points and 15 rebounds and Lindsey Keller added 14 points to lead No. 12 Oklahoma State to a 65-52 victory against Kansas on Saturday night.
Tiffany Bias and Kendra Suttles had 12 points each for the Cowgirls (15-3, 4-3 Big 12), who have won 24 straight games in which they had four players score in double figures, including 13 this season.
Chelsea Gardner had 14 points and nine rebounds for the Jayhawks (12-6, 3-4).
Gardner's jumper got Kansas within 36-34 with 15:17 remaining, but the Jayhawks went scoreless for the next 5:55. Meanwhile, a 3-pointer by Suttles helped Oklahoma State build a 43-34 cushion, and Kansas got no closer than seven the rest of the way.
Oklahoma State will return to Stillwater to face West Virginia in Gallagher-Iba Arena at 7 p.m. Tuesday.

NORMAN — Favorite Sooner of all time? Well, from my youth there's Elvis Peacock, John McCullough, Kelly Snider and, just to make everybody from a different sport, let's say Jim Begwin.
Only that's not the way I think about it any more. I grew up on those names, but am now more discerning, with an eye for virtue I may not have exercised before my 15th birthday.
Anyway, I'm not a fan of athletes any more. I'm a fan of people and sports happens to be my beat, and for about 36 hours I've wondered if there's anybody I've enjoyed covering more than Whitney Hand.
Can't think of any.
Can't think of any who received a rawer deal than her either.
Jason White tore the ACL in both his knees, but had the eligibility remaining to come back, win a Heisman Trophy and deliver the Sooners to the national championship game.
But this was Hand's last season in crimson and cream, on a team she really liked, surrounded by experience and youth that really believed it was headed back to the Final Four.
Instead, the cards of fate are dealt randomly, leaving some a free ride and others too much pain, too many surgeries and too many rehabs.
Hand tore the ACL in her left knee Thursday night at Lloyd Noble Center. She planted, the knee gave way, what was to be a strong leap toward the rim instead become a fumbling flailing shot that had Hand reaching for her knee before the ball left her hand, screaming in pain before she hit the ground.
It's not right.
It's not fair.
It's just the way it goes.
Has anybody played harder than Hand?
Well, Marc Clayton played really, really hard. I loved watching him run after the catch because he always seemed to have a plan or make one up in time to try something. He never caught the ball and kept running until he was tackled. Instead, he'd catch it, accelerate, make people miss and get as far as he could. It was like two different plays for Clayton, before the catch and afterward. Still, I don't think he played harder than Hand.

Joshua Jackson "Fringe" Interview
By Abbie Bernstein
Joshua Jackson describes his visit to 2012 Comic-Con and his subsequent meeting with the press at the 2012 summer Television Critics Association tour as his "victory lap." Jackson has spent five seasons playing Peter Bishop on FRINGE, the Fox series created by J.J. Abrams, Alex Kurtzman and Roberto Orci. In that time, Peter has reconciled with his mad scientist father Walter Bishop, played by John Noble. Then Peter learned that he's actually from an alternate universe, the son of an alternate Walter (also played by Noble), but kidnapped as a child by this universe's Walter when his own Peter had died. Then Peter fell for Fringe Division FBI agent Olivia Dunham, played by Anna Torv, and her alternate universe self. In order to save both universes, Peter put himself in a machine that caused him to never have existed – but he fought himself back into existence. Now he, Olivia and Walter are in 2036, fighting to save the world from the Observers.
It's not every role that let's an actor do all that (in fact, no other role comes immediately to mind). Jackson, a native of Vancouver, B.C., who originally rose to fame as Pacey on six seasons of DAWSON'S CREEK and in the big-screen MIGHTY DUCKS franchise, is well aware of this. He's also well aware that, due to the Nielsen ratings, a fifth season of FRINGE was in doubt, and that the Fox network took the passion of the show's fans into consideration when deciding to order a final thirteen episodes to wrap up the storyline.
