Strange, it is translated as "Absolute Knowing" in my copy, and in the Science of Logic for example,
§ 1783 - Therefore what remains to be considered here is not a content as such, but the universal aspect of its form
§ 1816 - …in the Idea of absolute cognition the Notion has become the Idea's own content.
It seems pretty clear that the use of the term "knowledge" here is quite a distortion.

Upscale Plus Size Designer Brand Amiiee New York, Presents a More Affordable, Casual and Versatile Day Into Evening Wear Collection: The Carrousel
New York, NY (PRWEB) July 02, 2014
Introducing the latest inspiration from Amiiee New York! The Carrousel Collection - an exquisitely versatile, multifunctional limited edition collection created with todays modern, more casual work environments and fast paced lifestyles in mind. The pieces are designed to easily transition into the evening without missing a beat and are both elegant and casual enough for weekends and parties as well. For Amiiees first foray into day wear the designer Dunja Messer-Jourdain has chosen fresh and lively colors for a sense of fun with subtle and understated touches of whimsy that look forward to the evening ahead as one would expect from Amiiee New York.
Amiiee New York has been featured in the Huffington Post, Vogue Italy and on German TV Broadcaster ZDF, among others.
The brands commitment to quality fabrics and light, easy wearability has been upheld. Feminine, sexy, breezy figure hugging silhouettes flatter a womans natural curves without sacrificing comfort for Amiiee New Yorks sense of playfulness and freedom.
The collection which will be offered in both standard and plus sizes (US 4-20) is being launched in collaboration with the prestigious, award winning International German Television Broadcaster ZDF and will be available from July 2014.
The fashion label Amiiee New York appeals to women of all sizes who really love their curves and rely on their good taste and quality awareness. With its signature style Amiiee New York stands for fresh, unique and sexy fashion which integrates our evolving understanding of the full diversity of feminine beauty, as if the concept of rigid standards never existed.
Dunja Messer-Jourdains passions are fine fabrics and the curves of the female form.
Her exposure to and fascination with fine fabrics from around the globe started at an early age. It all started in her childhood. Working as the little assistant of her grandfather, an old-fashioned European designer and tailor sparked her lifelong fascination with textiles an obsession which only broadened, eventually leading her to amassing an impressive collection of exotic fabrics from Japan and travels to Asia where she explored the manufacture of different fabrics and designs as well as immersing herself in what the designer likes to call Asias cultural magnificence.

A primal map guides both body and soul. The unique virtue of a primal map is that you can send your spirit along the path it creates, reliving the experience of the mapper's journey as if in a dream. Using a primal map in this way takes as long as it took the original mapper to make the journey, during which time you are in a dreamlike state similar to an eladrin's trance. The Primal Mapper paragon path presented here provides characters with options for tactical movement in combat as well as a character concept that allows a player and DM to help others visualize locations.
When did you first know that your awareness of the world around you is unique? Perhaps you were underground when a gust of wind blew out your torches, leaving your party in utter darkness from which only you could lead the way back. Or maybe you were attacked under cover of a thick fog and shouted out, "Retreat and regroup at our last campsite!" Only after you said this did you realize that you were the only one for whom that was as easy to find as your own foot. Your comrades have long relied on your intuition to determine which tunnel leads to the surface and where you will find higher ground that better allows you to defend yourself against your pursuers.

Traverse City Record-Eagle
---- — TRAVERSE CITY — Winemaker Jay Briggs rolled the dice on a unique experiment this year on a small plot of grape vines at the Forty-Five North Winery and Vineyard in Lake Leelanau.
His test involved eschewing pesticides and spraying grape vines only with water laced with ozone. The theory is that naturally occurring ozone could help prevent the onset of pests and molds on plants while reducing the need for pesticides.
"We tried it out on a pretty neglected block of grapes … we sprayed the vines every six or seven days," Briggs said.
Afterward, Briggs took careful note and found no new bugs or molds.
"We saw some pretty neutral results, which is good," Briggs said. "It's a no news is good news type of thing."
Spraying grape vines with ozonated water not only captured Briggs' interest, but also that of researchers and winemakers as far away as California and Nebraska.
Traverse City businessman William Siegmund, managing director of local business Pure Water Works, is interested, too. He's working with the Nebraska-based inventor of the technology, Ernie Wilmink, to promote the idea locally.
"We've gotten a real solid response from people, especially those people looking for more organic pest controls," Siegmund said.
Ozone spraying technology is being sold under the business name AgriOzein. Wilmink invented the technology by building a machine that sucks in air and runs it through a compressor and what he calls an "oxygen concentrator."
Nitrogen is removed and ozone is generated, then forced through a sprayer. The device is pulled by a tractor through vineyard rows and sprayed manually on plants.
Wilmink said he came up with the idea to help reduce the use of chemicals in vineyards while pursuing "absolute cleanliness in the world of winemaking."
"Ozone is a lot more effective than chemicals," Wilmink told the Record-Eagle. "Everyone is excited about this, especially when you look through all the usage of chemicals in the agricultural industry. There are millions of gallons (of pesticides used), and everyone knows it's not good for the environment and it's not good for the water."
But whether the technology works and can be used on a commercial scale is still up for debate. Wilmink said vineyard operators in Colorado, Kansas and Europe tried the technology and like what they see.
Local MSU Extension officials said they didn't know enough about the process to comment. Mark Johnson, winemaker at Chateau Chantal, echoed those officials.
Johnson said he also wants to reduce the use of pesticides in vineyards, but he doesn't know enough about the use of ozone to say whether it might work. He's concerned that using ozone may require more spraying, and he questions whether ozone can prevent disease.
"I don't like driving through the vineyard with a tractor more than I have to because of soil compaction," Johnson said. "The rows are narrow and we drive in the same spot every time."
Dr. Paul Read is a professor of viticulture at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln. He said he's definitely intrigued by the idea and is studying it.
"It (ozone) clearly has value in the winery for cleaning tanks and hoses and maintaining and achieving a microbe-free environment, which is extremely helpful," Read said. "The jury is still out regarding its use in the vineyard."

Rejuvenating facials at Long Island spas
After a loooong, cold winter, it's the right time for a refresher course -- we're talking about your face. Skin gets dull, congested and D-R-Y during the colder months, and a facial is a wonderful rejuvenator.
But there's a lot going on in the world of skin care, and it seems that the days of the very basic facial are virtually extinct. So to learn about some variations on the theme, we went under the steam, the stone, the cream and, eeks, even the razor. And besides the relaxing, pampering experience (some more relaxing and pampering than others), the greatest benefit of all is beautiful, healthy skin.

The Salem News
---- — To the editor:
I am dreadfully tired of no. No to a beautiful trail in the woods or open fields. No to a peaceful walk by the water's edge. No to shared gardens full of summer vegetables. No to playgrounds for the children around us. No to parks. No to bike paths where I can ride without constantly watching for doors and texting drivers. No to boat ramps. No to ball fields. No, no, no. There are no funds. There is nothing left for those niceties — I say necessities — in life. Maybe next year. We'll see. Maybe next year.
What type of community would that be? Not the community I want to live in. We can say "yes!" Yes to quality of life. Yes to recreational projects that make us healthier — mentally and physically — and happier! Yes to playgrounds and community gardens, parks, bike paths, harbor walks and river walks. Say "Yes!" to Question 4 on Nov. 6. Yes to CPA for Beverly. Yes to those state funds for Beverly.

The key to enjoying the Cambria City Ethnic Festival may be a pair of comfortable shoes.
The 25th anniversary of the festival will be celebrated from one end of historic Cambria City to the other from Friday through Sept. 1, said Monsignor Raymond Balta of St. Mary Byzantine Catholic Church, a festival organizer and coordinator.
"Since its inception, we continue to grow each year and offer people a yearly free event that has become the fabric of the friendly, historic Cambria City neighborhood," Balta said.
"It works because we keep it simple, and more organizations are getting involved."
The festival features church tours, ethnic foods, homegrown music and plenty of dancing to fill the needs of festivalgoers during Labor Day weekend.
"Above all, it's a homecoming of sorts for the thousands of people who make it a point to return to the festival each year to walk the streets of Cambria City and get reacquainted with friends and relatives," Balta said.
"When families get together when there is a funeral or wedding, they often say they should get together more often. The festival gives them that opportunity."
The festival will be held from 4 to 10 p.m. Friday, noon to 10 p.m. Saturday and noon to 8 p.m. Sept. 1.
Much of the activity is centered around St. Mary pavilion, 411 Power St.
There will be no shortage of food, activities and music throughout the neighborhood.
"This year, we will have activities the full length of the neighborhood," Balta said.
"From the Bottle Works (Ethnic Arts Center) on one end to an Irish pub at the former St. Columba school near 10th Avenue, there will be something for everyone. It's a great, family-oriented event."
Members of St. Mary's have been working for nearly a year making tasty ethnic treats that people have come to expect.
"We have made 60,000 pierogi, three tons of haluski and 8,000 stuffed cabbage rolls," Balta said.
One staple that Balta continues to prepare is Hungarian goulash.
"We use an old Hungarian recipe that was smuggled out of the old country and takes as many as four hours to prepare," Balta quipped.
"People tell us that our goulash is addictive."
Other foods are hot wings, hot dogs, hamburgers, french fries, funnel cakes, chereghi (Hungarian doughnuts) and gobs.
Festival organizers strive to keep food reasonably priced.
"These are tough economic times and we all try to keep prices as reasonable as possible," Balta said.
"The primary purpose of the festival is to bring the people together and if each group makes a little money, it's used to meet Johnstown's needs."
Resurrection church
Resurrection Roman Catholic Church, Fourth Avenue and Chestnut Street, will offer food, activities and a full musical lineup.
For anyone looking for different ethnic cuisine, Resurrection will feature a variety of foods, including potato pancakes, German potato salad, bratwurst, shepherd's pie, pierogi, haluski, halupki, kielbasa, hot sausage, hot dogs, apple dumplings, soft drinks and cold beverages.
There will be church tours, children's games, a kitchen area, games of chance and live entertainment.
The Rev. Alan E. Thomas, pastor of Resurrection, will celebrate a polka Mass featuring Rosie and the Jammers at 10 a.m. Sept. 1 at the church.
A variety of demonstrations will be conducted throughout the weekend in the church's tent on Chestnut Street. They include learning how to make pysanky eggs, palm weaving and paper Polish stars, which can be used for Christmas decorations.
"This is a wonderful way to celebrate our ethnic diversity and share different cultures," Thomas said.
"For many, it may be an opportunity to taste pierogi or haluski, while others might want to try German potato salad or bratwurst for the first time."
But overall, Thomas believes it is a nice way to pass on the rich heritage of Johnstown's past to future generations.
Holy Cross Lutheran
Holy Cross Lutheran Church, 711 Chestnut St., founded in large part by Slovak immigrants, will also offer ethnic favorites and slow-cooked barbecue.
People will enjoy a variety of live bands and music; browse the specialty items at the Slovak Import Co.; and sample a glass of wine from Cambria City's B&L Winery and a selection of choice beverages.
Organizers are featuring traditional ethnic and American elements to their menu. A barbecued rib dinner will be offered at 4 p.m. Friday; a lamb steak dinner at 4 p.m. Saturday; and a turkey breast dinner from noon to 3 p.m. Sept. 1.
The church also will have halupki, haluski, pierogi, sausage deluxe, kielbasa with sauerkraut, palacinky (a sweet, Slovak crepe), french fries, sweet potato fries, gobs, pulled pork sandwich, Philly steak sandwich, ice-cream sandwiches and soft drinks.
People also will have an opportunity to meet with representatives doing valuable community work.
"Our primary beneficiary of the festival proceeds will be the Greater Johnstown YMCA's Youth Initiative Program," said Paul Kushner, who along with Patrick Kelly, serve as co-chairmen of the event.
"With the festival as its centerpiece, members of Holy Cross are committed to help inform, promote and raise funds for the program.
"As an integral part of the current YMCA renovation and expansion plan, the initiative created for boys and girls from 12 to 14 years old, the program will offer a structured 12-week experience for 50 youth at a time," Kushner said.
The initiative's formula is to help youth succeed, which will in turn build stronger families and healthier communities.
"The congregation has pledged 10 percent of all festival proceeds be donated to the initiative project," Kushner said.
Donations also are being accepted online at www.holycrossjohnstown.org.
The Alternative Community Resource Program (ACRP) and the Ancient Order of Hibernians have partnered to expand the festival to the 10th Avenue block of Chestnut Street.
Visitors can enjoy "a little corner of Ireland," said Frank J. Janakovic, ACRP executive director.
"We are planning three days of Irish food, fun and festivities at the former St. Columba's school," he said.
"We will have activities and food outdoors and our basement facility has a wonderful cafeteria for people to sample a variety of tasty treats."
Food selection will feature shepherd's pie, Irish stew, scones, soda bread, hamburgers, hot dogs, kielbasa and a variety of beverages.
Janakovic, who grew up in the West End section of Johns-town, said getting involved in the festival is a no-brainer.
"It's a perfect opportunity to help rejuvenate the activities on that end of Cambria City where the Hibernians have had a presence for years," he said.
"We hope to grow our involvement in the festival for years to come."
There will be a host of activities for children.
Music will take place indoors as well as outside under a tent.
"We also are conducting a cornhole tournament, which will include cash prizes," Janakovic said.
"Space is limited and I would suggest registering early."
The entrance fee is $25 per person or $50 for a team.
Participants must be age 21 or older.
Information: Camette Standley: email@example.com or 535-2277, ext. 394.
Gary Matolyak, owner of Ace's, 316 Chestnut St., will offer a lamb dinner, lamb sandwiches and other ethnic foods.
"Last year, we had our doorman keep track of where people were from and we had 31 states represented throughout the weekend," Matolyak said.
"To be honest, when we started this festival 25 years ago, I never imagined it would last this long."
But Matolyak credits the success to the wealth of ethnic food and variety of entertainment.
"A lot of people had to leave the region to find jobs, but many plan their vacations around this weekend to return to their roots," Matolyak said.
"We make it a point to give a variety of entertainment to satisfy most everyone's tastes."
Art Works
Art Works in Johnstown, 413 Third Ave., will offer select food items, activities and a chance for visitors to purchase art.
"Artists will have tables set up to display their original art pieces, which people may purchase," said Theresa Gay Rohall, executive director.
"Barry Poglein will create a sculpture that people will enjoy."
Poglein, an Indiana County artist, will construct a sculpture made from ordinary construction paper cut into 11⁄2-inch strips and folded to form channels to support a child's marble to run.
"It will remind people of the old Mousetrap game," Rohall said.
Bottle Works
Bottle Works Ethnic Arts Center, 411 Third Ave., will conduct children's ethnic crafts from 1 to 5 p.m. Saturday and Sept. 1.
There also will be face painting, sidewalk art and more. Food will include barbecued items from Shorty's Italian Smokehouse in Lower Yoder Township and an array of soul food.
"People who come to Bottle Works can enjoy the new green space on the corner and submit a name for it," said Rosemary Pawlowski, executive director.
"The plants and flowers are native American and the exhibit in the gallery is filled with those representations in a wide variety of art forms from slate to watercolors to watering cans."
The photographs of Mark Eash also are on display.
In conjunction with the festival, a Garden Day will be held from 1 to 3 p.m. Saturday at the Wagner-Ritter House & Garden, 418 Broad St.
Children will be invited to pick vegetables from the raised-bed garden.
The garden is maintained by the Garden Club of Johnstown, and produce is donated to the St. Vincent DePaul Food Bank.
Children also will be invited to play a memory game using vegetable cards, a craft using cut vegetables to paint and a tour of the house.
There is no admission fee. On-street parking is available.

Friday, November 22, 2013 —
Fifty years later, we're still suspicious.
A Gallup poll released this month finds that more than 60 percent of Americans believe others besides Lee Harvey Oswald were involved in the assassination of President John F. Kennedy.
Over the years, more than 200 people and three dozen groups have been accused of being involved in Kennedy's assassination in Dallas on Nov. 22, 1963, author Vincent Bugliosi recently told CNN. So it's understandable that conspiracy theories of all degrees of plausibility have gained — and lost — popularity in that time.
"There's a strong tradition in this country of cultures of conspiracy," said Edward Linenthal, a history professor at Indiana University. "Very often, major events for some people are never quite what they seem. Whatever it happens to be, I think behind the surface appearance, there's always some more interesting forces at work."
In the case of Kennedy's assassination, Linenthal said the magnitude of the event — the murder of the most powerful man in the world and one of the country's most popular presidents — immediately led doubters to look for alternate explanations.
"The results of what (Oswald) did were so immense … I think that's part of it, as well," said Linenthal, who also works as a consultant for the Sixth Floor Museum in Dallas. "The idea that a huge, transformative event like this couldn't have been carried out by one nobbish little man — I think that carries weight with a lot of people."
Official attempts to settle doubts about the assassination — beginning with the Warren Commission report in September 1964, which concluded that Oswald acted alone — have only fueled alternate versions of history.
Answers to many lingering questions may lie in classified CIA documents related to the assassination that are due to be released in 2017. For many, though, the circumstances of Kennedy's death will likely remain shrouded in mystery.
"It's certainly a vibrant part of American culture," Linenthal said, "and I don't think it will stop."
Here is a look at some of the more enduring conspiracy theories surrounding the assassination, according to Gallup and Wikipedia:
The Lyndon Johnson Theory
The theory: Kennedy's vice president, Lyndon Baines Johnson, is the focus of what Gallup cites as one of the most widely believed conspiracy theories pertaining to Kennedy's assassination. Johnson, it is thought, used his influence with both the FBI and the CIA to have Kennedy blackmailed, then killed.
It gained prominence because… Johnson's involvement with the FBI, a perceived feud with the Kennedy family and a scandal involving financier Billie Sol Estes — detailed in a book by Phillip F. Nelson — were cited as motives for Johnson's role in the assassination.
Has it been debunked? No one can say for sure, given the theory's enduring plausibility in the minds of so many. An Associated Press poll taken in 2003 found that 20 percent of Americans thought Johnson had something to do with Kennedy's death. However, other competing theories - most notably that Kennedy was murdered, in part, out of revenge for the Cuban Missile Crisis - have blunted its popularity over the years.
The KGB Theory
The theory: Humiliated by the conclusion of the Cuban Missile Crisis, officials at the main security agency of the Soviet Union "programmed" one of their agents, Lee Harvey Oswald, to kill Kennedy.
It gained prominence because… Oswald's Russian wife, his extensive travel in the USSR and his purported contacts with Soviet diplomats all provide context for its legitimacy. Intriguing circumstantial evidence — including Oswald's trip to the Russian embassy in Mexico City a few weeks before the shooting — provides ample fodder for research into this theory.
Has it been debunked? Not completely. Although the House of Representatives Select Committee on Assassinations in 1979 concluded that more than one gunman may have been involved, its findings also cleared the Soviets of any involvement. That conclusion has failed to satisfy many conspiracists, however.
The Mafia Theory
The theory: Facing deportation and seeking revenge on a president whose policies aimed to dismantle organized crime, mafia boss Carlos Marcello masterminded the assassination with help from Santo Trafficante and Johnny Roselli.
It gained prominence because... Compared to other theories, it doesn't seem so far-fetched. Members of the mafia had worked with the CIA in an attempt to assassinate Cuban president Fidel Castro, according to documents declassified in 2007. At the time, members of the mafia had the expertise to take out important people. And, compared to today's measures, security around prominent elected officials was primitively lax.
Has it been debunked? "Complicated" is a better word. With suspicions of CIA involvement — and JFK's brother Bobby, as attorney general, leading the charge against organized crime — the mafia had plenty of incentive to direct its vengeance toward others besides JFK. They had the motive and the means, but we may never know for sure if they actually pulled the trigger.
The CIA Theory
The theory: The nation's main intelligence gathering arm had a number of high-profile disagreements with the president, including one about the agency's purported involvement in plots to assassinate foreign leaders, and another over Kennedy's handling of the failed Bay of Pigs invasion. This, the theory goes, spurred several "rogue" CIA agents to mastermind the killing of JFK.
It gained prominence because... It ties many of the other conspiracy theories together — perhaps too neatly. One particular thread of the theory holds that the agency's involvement in a plot to kill Cuban leader Fidel Castro greatly displeased Kennedy and inspired fear in some quarters that Kennedy would disband the agency. But whether it was Lyndon Johnson, the mafia or Federal Reserve (another, more far-fetched theory), the CIA came to be seen as having played an important role.
Has it been debunked? Not even close. The CIA theory remains so popular, in fact, that the agency's website includes a page dedicated to discrediting its involvement in the assassination.

Ive spent my entire career in the turkey business and spent most of it working with turkey farmers across North Carolina. Weve faced our share of challenges through the years many of them beyond our control and subject to the whims of Mother Nature, the global marketplace and government bureaucrats.
Take our federal governments onerous Food for Fuel policy. It requires gasoline producers to blend 15 billion gallons of ethanol, a corn-based fuel, into our nations fuel supply by 2015. Advocates say blending ethanol will reduce carbon emissions and decrease our dependence on foreign oil. In reality, the mandate has been disastrous for consumers. By diverting 40 percent of our nations corn supply away from food supplies, food prices are escalating. A recent Texas A&M study pegged the increase in food costs at $40 billion and noted that it costs $1.78 in taxpayer subsidies to produce a single gallon of ethanol.
While the federal government continues to put obstacles in our way, weve been fortunate to see many positive changes at the state level. This year, North Carolina eliminated some of the most challenging burdensome government regulations facing our industry.
Gov. Pat McCrory and the N.C. General Assembly enacted a series of positive reforms that will strengthen North Carolinas poultry industry and benefit the 5,700 families who grow poultry in our state.
One new law allows farmers to haul more feed per load when traveling less than 150 miles. Its a relatively small change, but one that will make a big difference to help farmers operate more efficiently.
Other changes will limit unnecessary environmental regulations and better clarify when a farms operations can be classified as a nuisance. These bills have a far more reaching impact: They will protect our family farmers by allowing them to reinvest in their business rather than spend millions to comply with tedious government regulations or defend themselves from unwarranted lawsuits.
These efforts combined with McCrorys successful reform of our state tax system and unemployment insurance laws will have a positive and lasting impact on poultry producers across North Carolina.
Poultry is big business in North Carolina, creating more than 110,000 jobs in our state and helping feed the world. Regardless of where someone lives in the United States, if hes eating a chicken or turkey, there is a good chance it came from North Carolina. We produce the nations second-largest number of turkeys and the third-largest amount of poultry.
Those numbers may grow in the years to come now that we have a pro-business leader in the Governors Mansion.
McCrory and the Republican leaders in the N.C. General Assembly have demonstrated a commitment to support agriculture and other businesses in the Tar Heel State. That will help companies maintain and grow jobs regardless of whether they grow turkeys, develop cutting-edge technologies or run a small family business.
My own experience has shown me that dealing with complex government regulations is one of the greatest challenges facing a business. It requires a huge investment of time and resources that can be better used to build our businesses and support our employees.
Im proud that our business plays a small part in helping feed the world. And thanks to the positive reforms enacted by McCrory and the legislature, our job will become a whole lot easier. We hope that the federal government will follow suit and allow the market to work instead of continuing to place mandates like Food for Fuel on the backs of our consumers and family farms.
Scott Prestage, vice president of Prestage Farms, is the immediate past president of the N.C. Poultry Federation.

I am not surprised that it took Robert F. Kennedy Jr. to tell the American public the truth that the oil spill could have been prevented if it were not for eight years of the George W. Bush and Dick Cheney administration. Bush's crew at the Minerals Management Service in 2003 could not wait to jump in bed with the oil industry and give it any cost-cutting it wanted. The absence of an acoustical regulator, a remotely triggered dead-man's switch that would have closed off BP's gushing oil, was not deemed necessary and too costly by the oil-friendly Bush administration.
Cheney's offshore company (here we go again), Halliburton, had just completed working on a very sensitive process that, according to government experts, could trigger catastrophic blowouts. Shortly after that work was done, the British Petro well went up in flames.
The festering ethics of the Bush administration and the corruption of the agency required to oversee that the law is obeyed are at fault. Bush's 2005 energy bill removed the requirement for the acoustical regulator as too costly. The price of an acoustical regulator is $500,000. The cost so far for this spill is now $14 billion, just for the Gulf states.
Perhaps now the American people will understand why President Barack Obama has issued a halt to offshore oil drilling, because without the acoustical regulator on those wells, America and the world could have a repeat disaster beyond imagination.
Thank you, RFK Jr.

Did you know that Heart Disease is the #1 killer of both men and women? About 600,000 people die from heart disease each year. THIS AMMOUNTS TO 1 IN EVERY 4 DEATHS IN THE UNITED STATES. According to the CDC approximately 715,000 American will have heart attacks this year as well. The CDC also reports that the United States spends about $312.6 BILLION on heart disease related medical services each year.
The good news is that heart disease is preventable and controllable.
February is considered to be national heart disease awareness month.
- Heart Healthy Diet - Check out your food labels. Try to limit fats, saturated fat, trans fat, cholesterol, salt and sodium. Eat as much fresh foods as possible including fruits and vegetables.
- Exercise your Heart – It is healthy for our heart to be exercised like any other muscle in the body. We do this though cardiovascular exercise such as; walking, running, biking, swimming etc. The Surgeon General recommends that adults should engage in moderate physical activity for 30 minutes on most days of the week.
- Maintain a Heart Healthy Weight - Your weight can play a significant role in weather you are at risk for heart disease. Most doctors use Body Mass Index to determine if you are in a healthy range.
- Cut out Cigarettes – Cigarette smoking is also a huge contributor to Heart Disease. The sooner you quit the sooner your heart can begin to recover from tobacco usage.
- Have regular Blood Pressure & Cholesterol Checks – Being high in one or both of these categories is going to put extra stress on the heart that could potentially lead to heart disease. It is good to have both of these levels checked yearly. Depending on your doctor's recommendations, age, or health history, you may want to consider having them checked more regularly.
- Limit Alcohol Consumption – Drinking regularly can increase blood pressure which is a large factor in developing heart disease. It is recommended that men should have no more than 2 drinks per day and women 1 drink per day.
- Manage your Medications - Make sure you follow your doctor's instructions carefully when taking medications that control high blood pressure, high cholesterol, blood sugar, and diabetes. It is never safe to mess with dosages or any of the guidelines recommend by your physician.

PITTSBURGH (AP) -- A former FBI employee with post-traumatic stress disorder linked to her role in the investigation of the Sept. 11 terror attacks has written a book about seeing legions of angels guarding the Pennsylvania site where a hijacked airliner crashed.
Lillie Leonardi was a Pittsburgh-area police officer before working for the FBI. She says she wrote her book, "In the Shadow of a Badge: A Spiritual Memoir" to encourage people dealing with PTSD and those who continue to look for comfort and answers about the terrorist attacks that day.
Leonardi, now a 56-year-old divorced grandmother, says she's convinced she saw the angels. But what she's questioning in her book is why she was allowed to see them.

Friends and family of two men strangled to death in a Hickory Street house packed a courtroom for the alleged killers' arraignment this morning. But for the accused, only one man showed up for his child's day in court.
Bill McKee, father of 18-year-old Bethany McKee, was the only one in the gallery for the two young men and two young women charged with the Hickory Street double murder. McKee watched his daughter plead not guilty, endured the insults of a grieving fiancee, and then spoke of his own pain.
"It just sucks that whole families have to go through this," McKee, a Shorewood resident, said. "You can do the best job raising children, but you don't know what's going to come out.
"It's not the parents," said McKee, whose 18-year-old daughter did not stand or speak during her arraignment. Neither did her co-defendants—Alisa Massaro, 18, Joshua Miner, 24, and Adam Landerman, 19. Attorneys for the four entered pleas of not guilty to murdering Joliet men Eric Glover and Terrance Rankins, both 22. Massaro, Miner and Landerman are also Joliet residents.
A tip to police about a pair of dead bodies led officers to Massaro's house. The tip ended up on the money, police said, as the officers did find the two corpses, as well as Massaro, Miner and Landerman playing video games near the bodies.
McKee had already left, police said. She headed to Kankakee, where the police there captured her.
Massaro, McKee, Landerman and Miner were transported from the county jail for the hearing before Judge Gerald Kinney. All four were shackled at the wrist and ankle. Landerman, the son of Joliet police Sgt. Julie Larson, has apparently shaved his head since his arrest.
During the arraignment, Kinney said he is keeping the case on his call and set a pretrial hearing for March 1.
The arraignment was the first chance for friends and family of Glover and Rankins to see the accused killers in the flesh since the murders nearly a month ago.
"I was sickened—they look evil. They're demonic," said Heather Gossman, who was engaged to marry Glover. She said Glover proposed to her on Valentine's Day. She wears hear engagement ring and his high school class ring along with a cross around her neck.
"They just showed no emotion," Gossman said. "That Joshua kid looked like he was bored."
Gossman, who said her young daughter, Arianna, considered Glover her father and Rankins an uncle, recalled Glover calling her about 9 p.m. the night before the police found him dead with a bag over his head in Massaro's house.
When she did not hear from him again—and could not get a hold of him—she "called every hospital and jail in the area." She said she learned her fiance was dead by reading Joliet Patch.
"I'm pretty empty," Gossman said. "When he died, my heart died too."
Gossman said McKee invited Rankins to Massaro's house, and Rankins asked Glover to come along. She believes the murders were racially motivated.
"I'm saying yeah because I feel in my heart that my fiance and his friend were going to kick it with the white two," she said.
Gossman said she knew nothing of any of the four accused killers but for McKee, whose mother worked with her in the Walmart on Route 59 near Theodore Street.
Heartbroken by the loss of her fiance, Gossman shouted at Bill McKee after the hearing, saying, "You're a coward, just like your child."
Her outburst was not lost on McKee.
"I understand the anger of the families," he said. "I understand that."

It was the day after Christmas, 1944, and two soldiers brought a Western Union telegram to George Kinley's door.
Their brief message was much like thousands of others hand-delivered to homes nationwide that year, expressing "deep regret" a soldier, his father, was killed in combat.
George Kinley was 6 years old at the time.
He would have to wait nearly
70 years, including decades spent searching for answers about Pvt. Fred Kinley's final days, until another letter would bring answers.
The email's message: His father was "a hero" whose work on a bazooka team helped the allied forces capture the French town of Seltz in the days leading up to the historic Battle of the Bulge.
"You should be very proud of him," wrote James Carter, a retired staff sergeant who served in the 313th Infantry alongside his father. "He was truly one of the unsung heroes of the war."
Kinley and Carter found one another through the American WWII Orphans Network message board.
Carter described his father as a family man they called "Pappy" because, at 38, he was years older than most of his fellow GI's.
The Summerhill man was part of an anti-tank platoon within the infantry. In charge of firing a bazooka so large that another man had to load it, he was often on the front lines of an assault, Carter wrote.
Fred Kinley was part of an assault that surprised Germans in Seltz the day he died, driving them out of the town.
The Nazis tried to keep attackers at bay by destroying bridges into the town, but they left one crossable – and Kinley was among those who charged it, despite "heavy" enemy fire, Carter wrote.
"The attack was successful," he added. But Kinley received a fatal neck wound in the process.
He was buried in France, not far from his final battleground, his son said.
But in many ways, the soldier's memorial lies in his son's basement.
The younger Kinley has a small den in his Richland Township home that has become an archive for his father.
Photos of his father dressed in uniform are displayed on the wall. Beside them, a rubbing that soldiers made of Kinley's gravestone in France is framed next to the fallen soldier's medals.
And George has kept letters to and from his father during his year at war.
He has collected items for years, he said, while holding his father's draft card.
"I tried for 20 years to find out more about my dad – and how he died. There were times I thought I might never know," George said.
Sitting next to a stack of letters sent to his father that never reached him, Kinley held out unused postage stamps he said fellow soldiers found in his pocket the day he died.
They were likely meant for a letter to home that the man never got the chance to send, the son said.
The keepsakes fascinate George Kinley. But they did little to answer questions he had about his father's final days at war, until Carter's email came about a year ago, he said.
"Every time Christmas came around ... I thought about my dad. I wondered what happened," George said, saying it left a hole in his heart that was unfilled for decades.
He said he had few vivid memories of his dad, an Allegheny County native who was raised in Portage.
He remembers the day his father left for war, and a week he returned for furlough.
"I remember him waving goodbye on the train," George said.
But those memories push him to keep searching. He believes there are still stories to be uncovered about his father.
"I'll never really have closure," he said. "I keep going because I want to know more."

This story originally said the road closure was effective immediately, based upon information from the Idaho Transportation Department. The agency later learned that information was incorrect.
A 12-mile section of the state highway above Lowman to Banner Summit will close at 4 p.m. Friday as a safety precaution, the Idaho Transportation Department said.
The route will be evaluated regularly to determine when it's safe enough to reopen, officials said.
That area of Boise County typically receives more than 250 inches of snow per year and slides, between 45 to 50 per year, are common.
The state has reduced closures by more than 60 percent since a team began forecasting slides and slide threats three years ago.
Ninety percent of the Idaho avalanches that affect highway travel occur in the "Avalanche Alley" section between the Grandjean Junction turnoff and Banner Summit. About 60 chutes where avalanches develop are found in that area.
The first closure of the season came Dec. 16.

---- — CHATEAUGAY LAKE — Eileen G. Kaska, 94, a lifelong resident of Lyon Mountain, went into the arms of her Lord, Thursday, Aug. 22, 2013, at the home of her daughter, JoAnn, on Chateaugay Lake. JoAnn had been her mother's primary caregiver for the last seven years. Born in Lyon Mountain on Feb. 18, 1919, Eileen was the daughter of James R. Grogan and Mary Cordick.
Eileen will be remembered for her devotion to her family, her church and her community. She saw a need for senior housing in Lyon Mountain and she didn't let anyone stop the wheels from turning from the time she applied for grants, to ceremoniously turning over the first shovelful of dirt, until she cut the ribbon for the opening of Mountain Top Senior Housing.
Eileen was a very active member of St. Bernard's Parish. She served as Eucharistic Minister, lector and trustee. She was a charter member of Court Our Lady of the Snows #1548 Catholic Daughters of the Americas, as well as holding various offices including grand regent. She was past district deputy as well as a state officer in the Catholic Daughters. Eileen was a member of Sorrell-Woodward American Legion Post 1623 Auxiliary, a member of the Senior Citizens of Lyon Mountain and a member of the Board of Directors of the county Senior Citizens Council. Eileen volunteered at the CVPH Medical Center gift shop for many years. She worked in various retail sales positions throughout her life including Merkels Department Store and years of selling Avon.
Eileen was married to Joseph P. Kaska who predeceased her on October 27, 1982.
She is survived by her daughter and son-in-law, JoAnn and James Kaska-Templin of Plattsburgh and Chateaugay Lake and a son and daughter-in-law, Robert Sr. and Linda Kaska of Rotterdam; four grandchildren, Terri (Roger) Dufek, Robert J. Kaska Jr., Joseph Templin, Jonathan Templin and four great-grandchildren, Robert J. Kaska III, Caitlin Kaska, Renee Dufek and Brion Dufek; step-granddaughter, Aubrey (James) Contreras; two step-great-grandsons, Aidan and Roman Contreras; as well as many nieces and nephews.
Eileen was also predeceased by her eleven siblings and their spouses, Catherine (James) Ryan, Charlotte (Anthony) Stacavich, Mary (Joseph) LaVigne, William (Patricia) Grogan, James (Ola) Grogan, Nellie (Maurice) Welch, Daniel (Lucille) Grogan, Margaret (Dr. Theodore) Elsasser, John Grogan, Gertrude (Alec) Gosselin, and Rita (Vernon) McBride.
Calling hours for family and friends will be 4 to 7 p.m. Tuesday, Aug. 27, at St. Bernard's Parish Center, Lyon Mountain.
Mass of Christian Burial will be held at noon Wednesday, Aug. 28, at St. Bernard's Church in Lyon Mountain.
Burial will be in St. Bernard's Cemetery.
Arrangements are in care of the Chateaugay Funeral Home. Online condolences may be offered at www.chateaugayfuneralhome.com.

Rich Karlgaard, Forbes Staff
I celebrate innovation and growth.
In Silicon Valley where I live, biking is the new golf. On any weekend, the roads around Palo Alto and the surrounding Santa Cruz Mountains are thick with cyclists of all ages and levels. But this being Silicon Valley – which is to say super rich and competitive – a high percentage of cyclists ride hard-core, Tour-caliber $9,000 Trek Madones or similarly priced steeds from Specialized, Bianchi, Cervelo, Colnago, Cannondale and the like.
We all want to be like Lance.
Lance Armstrong stands on the highest podium of heroes who inspire middle-age men and women to get off their duffs and sweat. Facing a 19 mile, 4,000 foot climb up Mt. Hamilton near San Jose, as I did on Memorial Day, plodders like me will think of Lance. An image of Lance in full grimace will come into our heads. Because Lance suffered to become the greatest Tour de France rider in history, and suffered before that to defeat a cancer that had gone into his brain and lungs, and suffered still more as a youth in a single-mom home, well, maybe we can suffer some, too.
Lance made suffering cool. Lance is like a secular Jesus. His suffering and ultimate triumph gives hope.
This hope is why most weekend cyclists, along with most cancer patients and survivors throughout the world, DO NOT WANT TO HEAR about the possibility of Lance and steroids, Lance and human growth hormones, Lance and EPO, Lance and blood transfusions. We do not want to hear that Lance Armstrong cheated to win. Millions of us have too much invested in Lance Armstrong to learn otherwise.
Yet here it is, the case against Lance Armstrong, as laid out by the United States Anti-Doping Agency on Tuesday.
Is any of this true? Did Lance really dope? Did he use performance-enhancing drugs and blood transfusions during his seven Tour wins from 1999 to 2005, his third-place finish in 2009, and his crashed-marred finale in 2010?
I didn't want to believe it myself. But as I wrote two years ago on Forbes.com, the 2010 Tour de France produced data that convinced me otherwise.
Mountain-climb times produced by the top climbers in the 2010 Tour de France were oddly but consistently 5% worse than the numbers generated by the Tour's top climbers from 1996 to 2006, according to the authoritative Science of Sport website. You can read all about the numbers, analytics and methodology on the Science of Sport website.
Now, why would the climbing performance numbers get worse even as bicycles have become faster and knowledge about training, nutrition and recovery has advanced? The most plausible answer is that the anti-doping testing standards have become much better. In 2008 professional cycling's governing body implemented the final pieces of the so-called biological passport. It works like this and is effective because it alerts anti-doping officials to any anomalies in an athlete's normal blood chemistry.
All of the Tour's winners from 1996 to 2006, with one famous exception, were later caught, or admitted to, using performance drugs. The exception was Lance Armstrong, who was never caught despite being the most tested athlete in modern sports. That's the story, anyway. Actually Lance was caught, twice: One in 1999 for steroids and again in 1999 for the red cell boosting drug, EPO.
In the 1999 steroid case, Lance's doctors produced a legal corticosteroid prescription for saddle sores. The prescription may or may not have been backdated. Prize-winning author David Walsh asserts it was backdated. Lance's 1999 EPO positive was found in a frozen urine sample stored for a future (and better) detection technology, which appeared in 2005. The "A" sample showed evidence of EPO. The confirming "B" sample was compromised through mishandling and could not be used as evidence. Read the account here and here.
No millions were spent. The sport ignored his doping for years because he made them too much money and he paid off the UCI
Excellent supporting information, Rich. Whether he survives this legally is one matter, but his earnings potential as a product endorser just took a serious hit as companies will be more skeptical and thus more leery of engaging or maintaining his endorsement services out of fear that one day the bottom will drop out.
Excellent supporting information????
I can think of several factors that would negate the flimsy anecdotal observations that were included as evidence. It's a good thing you guys are "contributors" to your own egos, because no factual materials or meaningful analysis appeared either in the article or your back-slapping response
Rich, Some publish articles just to get attention. The headline makes you and your editors mission clear. Most readers would agree you make an extremely poor argument, in fact, the article makes you and the editors at Forbes look like bozos. You remind me of the old saying "people seek facts, especially the ones they are looking for". What if your editor had asked for a positive article on Lance? As a so called cyclist, it may have made your job a little easier but you wouldn't get nearly as much attention.
read this article (from the author's "science of sport" source):
look at armstrong's performance in the bar chart… admittedly, this is imperfect data as it doesn't account for tactics, weather, wind, etc. you can't really draw any conclusions, but these numbers do not seem to support the author's claims regarding armstrong's performance versus pantani. the data doesn't make lance innocent either, but you get the drift.
also interesting that 7 of the 10 highest VAMs were recorded on Alpe d'Huez…maybe the magic of that stage gives the lads a little extra something in the legs!
Good story – sad but I am afraid true. In sports or business, sound ethics should be foundational…
I think you know a lot more about stock picking than professional cycling. I watched Lance's Tour wins, and there was no contest against the recreational drug-using, overweight Jan Ullrich.
It's "experts" like you that know nothing that write c-r-a-X like this that make this such a tragic situation.
You may be a weekend warior on the bike, but your argument against Lance is pure fantasy.
How long are they going to persecute Armstong? Having been cleared over and over, here we go again! Enough. Why must a "winner" be dirty just because his rivals were? This is nonesense.
Sorry for the type – nonsense.
Whether Armstrong doped or not, it has never been proven beyond a reasonable doubt. I agree with the comment that Mr. Armstrong may be less than an easy guy to like, but putting aside the inspirational story and the good he has done, at what point will various authorities lay down and accept that everyone…EVERYONE! …is better served to accept the past and get on with the future. How many discredited, sad characters can they dredge up to say they shared a needle with Lance. How many half samples or somewhat suspicious doctors or coincidental associations will writers dredge up to pad articles to make them newsworthy? And how many public dollars will agencies spend before they deal with today's issues and not who won six years ago. The sad case of Andy Schleck getting a used yellow jersey and a trophy with Contadore's lipstick all over it speaks to me of the senseless of focusing on past cheating. Let it go and lets get on with finding the cheaters before the event ends and let Mr. Armstrong dedicate his life to the better good. Spend the money they are using on paying down the national debt or securing better testing. BTW: I see Lance must be doping again…he's winning triathlons.

As the adult children of aging parents most of us are used to hearing friends and colleagues make the "senior moment" comment. Often when a person over 45 or so has difficulty remembering something, he or she will comment, "…oops, I'm having a senior moment." I began noticing this in my late 40′s and now, a few years later, it happens at least once a day. I make the comment, too, though I am trying to stop saying it.
Part of this is joking about the normal changes occurring in our brains as we grow older, according to a February 9, 2010 Washington Post article, Memory Lapses Are Common and Increase with Age; When Do They Signal Alzheimer's? As we get older, our brains become less efficient and we store information less effectively.
However, now that I have watched the steady decline and eventual death of a family member with dementia I feel my forgetfulness more intensely. As my mother-in-law's continued experience more severe dementia symptoms, we found dozens of friends and acquaintances who were experiencing or had experienced the same disease in their families. Just about every person occasionally worried about the potential for dementia in the future. When my husband and I had a moment to think about ourselves during that time, and it was not that often, we wondered how we might prevent dementia from occurring in our lives. It doesn't feel like a joke that the senior moment comment implies. Continue reading
