Occupational safety and health has been up front and center this year and continues to be so with the unprecedented scope of the world's worst ever oil spill. Heat, long hours, chemical exposures and working on the water are conspiring to provide complicated working conditions. These complexities are being addressed by our best minds and regulatory leaders including David Michaels, Jordan Barab, Peg Seminario and academic and union health and safety specialists, many of whom we count as section members.
Section leaders and members have been active in writing letters to legislators, planning our 2010 Annual Meeting, devising ways to recruit members, and, most importantly, planning our social venues for Denver, 2010. I hope you all will figure out a way to participate in the Annual Meeting. I realize that finances are tight and hotels are expensive. BUT DO WHAT YOU CAN! Our business meetings are informative and designed to get members interacting. Our scientific sessions expose you to scientists, policy-makers and thought leaders in our field. Finally, our social events are second to none, in terms of fun, food and inspiration.
Peter Dooley and his unbelievably energetic Program Planning Committee have developed another incredible program, also described below, which can be viewed at the following website: http://apha.confex.com/apha/138am/webprogram/OHS.html.

Workers' Memorial Day, a day to remember those who have lost their lives, been made ill or injured on the job, was observed across the country and around the world on April 28. In Boston, workers gathered on the steps of the State House, where names of the 75 individuals, including 13 members of the military, who were fatally injured on the job in the previous year were read.
In Washington, D.C., Celeste Monforton, DrPH, MPH, escorted a group of 24 family members to a meeting with Labor Secretary Hilda Solis to discuss much needed reforms to our workers health and safety programs at OSHA and MSHA. he families traveled from California, Indiana, Kentucky, Massachusetts, Michigan, Nebraska, Nevada, New York, Pennsylvania, and West Virginia. Attending the meeting were three other OHS Section members: Peter Dooley, David Michaels (Assistant Secretary of Labor) and Jordan Barab (Deputy Assistant Secretary of Labor). Two of the family members testified at Congressional hearings on April 27 and April 28, about their loved ones' deaths from preventable workplace hazards, as did Celeste Monforton.
Remember the Canary!
April 28 has many names. In Canada, it's the Day of Mourning. In the United States and the United Kingdom, it's Workers' Memorial Day. The International Labour Organization calls it the World Day for Safety and Health at Work. Marked around the world, there's confusion about its origins, even in Canada.
About 1983, the health and safety director of the Canadian Union of Public Employees (CUPE), Colin Lambert, and his long-time friend and fellow activist, Ray Sentes, came up the idea of a day to recognize workers killed and injured on the job.
As a steelworker and miner in Sudbury, Ontario, Lambert was instrumental in having mandatory coroners' inquests for all miners' deaths in Ontario (Canada). He also lamented the contrast between the lack of recognition or memorials for miners and other workers who died on the job or because of their work and public events for "fallen" police officers and fire fighters.
Lambert "floated the idea" with CUPE's national health and safety committee, talking about a special day of recognition for workers killed and injured on the job, to be held on May 1 (celebrated as May Day in Europe and elsewhere). The committee endorsed the idea. At its 1984 convention, union delegates supported the proposal. Soon after, some CUPE locals started negotiating events, such as lowered flags and moments of silence.
In 1984 and 1985, CUPE representatives took the idea to the Canadian Labour Congress (CLC) executive and its national health and safety committee. Local unions also sent resolutions to the CLC.
In February 1986, the CLC announced the first Day of Mourning, coinciding with the first day of its convention that year. Rather than May 1, they chose the date when the Ontario legislature passed the country's first workers compensation law, in 1914. The convention passed a resolution supporting April 28 as a day to "mourn for the dead and fight for the living."
In 1990, Lambert and CUPE pushed for innovative ways to recognise the day. April 28 could be a "year-round series of public events", not just a Day of Mourning. We can attract "broad public recognition for the day by adopting a universal, unthreatening symbol of worker safety, the canary."
"The canary's an appropriate symbol," Lambert said. "It shows that today workers are the canaries -- they are front-line protection for all of us." The canary also showed up in the CLC's new poster for April 28.
Lambert and others saw the potential for a day of "preventive action for workers which will be recognized by society in general." They called on CUPE locals to have activities in the week heading up to the 28th. They sent a package with a new poster -- introducing the canary symbol -- and a special issue of the health and safe newsletter. There also was a workplace inspection checklist and calls for locals to campaign for government recognition of the day and to bargain or ask employers for a moment's silence at 11 a.m. on April 28.
CUPE members and others responded with enthusiasm. The British Columbia CUPE health and safety committee had a "Spot the Hazard" campaign for workplace inspections. In Winnipeg, Manitoba, the Federation of Labour and CUPE produced tags with the canary symbol and "Day of Mourning, April 28". They sold them with members of the local professional football team and the Boys and Girls Club, with proceeds to the Club. In Windsor, Ontario, more than 300 people marched to the Ministry of Labour to lay a wreath and release black balloons inscribed with "We came here to work, not to die".
The campaign for government recognition paid off. In February 1991, the Canadian government passed a private member's bill, naming April 28 as the "Day of Mourning for Persons Killed or Injured in the Workplace." Provincial and municipal governments also recognize the day.
These efforts, and many others, inspired trade unions and health and safety activists and around the world. Monuments and plaques are some of the most common responses. There were so many by 2001 that Ed Thomas of Hamilton wrote a book about them -- "Dead But Not Forgotten–Monuments to Workers." The Canadian Centre for Occupational Health and Safety (CCOHS) put some of his pictures on a web page (http://www.ccohs.ca/events/mourning/photolinks.html).
The campaign for recognition of the day has been successful. Now what about the goals behind it?

APHA has submitted a letter to the House Committee on Education and Labor supporting H.R. 2067, the Protecting America's Workers Act (PAWA) (http://thomas.loc.gov/cgi-bin/bdquery/z?d111:hr2067:/). PAWA seeks to, among other things, expand health and safety regulations to cover state and local public sector workers, increase penalties for health and safety violations, enhance whistleblower protections, and allow for greater involvement by workers and their families in the investigation process. The letter submitted by APHA can be found at: http://www.apha.org/NR/rdonlyres/BF729F35-FE40-4001-90D9-5922847AE38E/0/APHAPAWAMillerletter.pdf. T
here is also an active effort to get 150 Congressional co-sponsors of the bill. Check to see if your representative is a sponsor by going to http://www.protectingworkers.org/node/19.
The APHA Annual Meeting will be held in Denver from Nov. 6-10. Conference and hotel registration are now open. Information can be found at: http://www.apha.org/meetings/registration/. The early bird registration deadline is August 27; the advance registration deadline is Oct. 1.
The OHS section received 60 percent more abstracts for the 2010 Annual Meeting than for the previous year. While this means that many abstracts unfortunately had to be turned away, this interest in participating in the OHS program is something to celebrate! The OHS scientific program will begin on Sunday, Nov 7, with poster sessions and end on Wednesday, Nov. 10.
Highlights of this year's scientific program include:
· a continuing focus on the intersection of occupational health and the "green" movement (i.e. blue/green). At the 2009 Annual Meeting, the blue/green sessions were filled to capacity and brimming with good discussion.
· a special intersectional track on occupational and environmental justice. These sessions were developed collaboratively with program planners from the environment, social work, international health, and public health education sections. This much cross-section collaboration might be unprecedented, and it was exciting to see so much interest in the OHS abstracts. More to come on that later.
· an occupational health surveillance track on Wednesday, Nov. 10. Prepare to discuss undercounting in the BLS Annual Survey, new developments in occupational health surveillance, and exciting updates on state occupational health surveillance activities.
· a total of 32 oral/roundtable sessions and 100 occupational health and safety posters.
Oh! - and please plan to attend the Sunday morning Membership Meeting. This meeting, starting at 8:30 a.m. on Sunday, will orient you to the days ahead, introduce you to Section leadership, and give you an opportunity to meet Section members and learn more about the OHS Section in general. It's a great way to start off the Annual Meeting, learn about all the planned activities, and it's fun, too! Keep an eye out for more updates from the OHS Section on the program for the 2010 Annual Meeting. Please see the entire OHS Section program at: http://apha.confex.com/apha/138am/webprogram/OHS.html
There will be a conference to discuss nanomaterials and the possible harmful effects on workers in July 2010. The conference, co-sponsored by NIOSH, will be held in Keystone, Colo., and will focus on medical surveillance, exposure registries and epidemiologic research relative to workers dealing with nanomaterials. The agenda and registration information can be found at: http://www.cdc.gov/niohs/topics/nanotech/keystone2010.
The theme was worker health in a changing world of work.
It led to wide-ranging presentations and conversations. They went from the invisible health consequences of precarious or contingent work to the stigma of being an injured worker and how to turn research into action. Participants included academic researchers, physio and occupational therapists, and people doing work in occupational health and safety and workplace wellness. Union health and safety representatives, injured workers and disability rights advocates also were there.
It sounds like the APHA Occupational Health and Safety Section. But it happened in late May north of the 49th parallel, thanks to the Canadian Association for Research on Work and Health (CARWH). (For details about the program, see http://carwh2010.ih.on.ca/.)
Founded in 2001, the multi-disciplinary group is open "to anyone who identifies him/herself as a work and health researcher in Canada." Dominated by academic researchers, there still is a fair bit of space for others on the edges of, and outside, the university.
CARWH's goals are simple and grandiose: To enhance and promote research on work health, safety, and well being in Canada and to advocate for research on how work and work environments can be altered to improve health, safety, and wellness among Canadians.
Conferences are held in different regions of Canada and Quebec every two years. At these events, and in between, CARWH tries hard to breach the "two solitudes" of Anglophone and Francophone cultures and language. It provides one of the few OHS venues where this is done. (Otherwise, there is little exchange of information, results, and practices.)
In between, the organisation is building its website (http://web.cher.ubc.ca/carwh), and working to expand its membership and make new links for its members and the organisation itself. You will hear more about possible links at the OHS Section discussions during APHA's Annual Meeting in Denver.

New Solutions, A Journal of Environmental and Occupational Health Policy, has joined the public health blog, The Pump Handle. A set of posts on PCBs in schools can be found at, http://thepumphandle.wordpress.com/2010/04/30/pcbs-in-schools/. This dialog was generated by an article by Robert Herrick in the latest issue of New Solutions - School Health and Environment.
Robert F. Herrick of the Harvard School of Public Health wrote an excellent article on polychlorinated biphenyls (PCB) exposure in schools, which was published in the most recent issue of New Solutions. This article has been made available for free download by the journal's publisher, Baywood Inc.
The piece has already sparked some dialogue on the testing and regulation of PCB exposure for school maintenance workers, who are pegged with the important task of removing potentially toxic material that may be damaging children's health. David M. Newman of the New York Committee for Occupational Safety & Health (NYCOSH) wrote a response to Dr. Herrick's piece, in which he addresses major gaps in policy and practice and the need for a strong labor presence to take the lead in demanding necessary worker protection.
Dr. Herrick responded by outlining some of the research done on PCB exposure among construction workers.
The posting has the abstract of Dr. Herrick's piece, as well as the following responses. Check it out and join the dialog.
Our Section was one of the three founding sections of the APHA "Trade and Health Forum" established five years ago as a cross-sectional effort to protect public health in global trade and investment treaties.
Public health issues – including workplace health and safety – have been systemically left out of trade agreements, as seen in the 1993 North American Free Trade Agreement and all those that have followed. The treaties have been used to force countries in the developing world to open their economies to global corporations that owe loyalty to nothing other than maximum corporate profits.
The result has been the destruction of agriculture in Mexico with the flood of government-subsidized grains by U.S.-based transnational corporations; restrictions on the production of low-cost generic drugs which has caused thousands of preventable deaths of Central American and Asian HIV/AIDS patients; and a "race to the bottom" in terms of factory working conditions as each impoverished country tries to outbid others in enticing foreign investment in their increasingly unregulated and "zero enforcement" workplaces.
Public health advocates hoped that the change in administration from George Bush to Barack Obama would bring changes in trade policies and the treaties that govern it. However, all signals coming from the Obama government indicate another area of continuity, not change, with its predecessor. But Obama's policies are not yet fixed, so the opportunity exists to push for a health-protective approach and democratic procedures in writing the trade and investment treaties.
One of the most important goals is establishing representation of public health professionals in the various advisory committees and bureaucratic structures where trade policy is actually set. Unsurprisingly, these committees are currently dominated by the industries affected by the treaties, and there are literally no public health reps on any of them.
So, for example, the "Tobacco Control Advisory Committee" has a heavy presence of tobacco companies, the "Pharmaceuticals Advisory Committee" is dominated by Big Pharm, and the "Agricultural Advisory Committee" is blessed with numerous reps from Monsanto, Cargill and Archer Daniels Midland.
For several years, the San Francisco-based Center for Policy Analysis on Trade and Health (CPATH) has generated excellent reports and coordinated efforts for legislation to require the appointment of public health representatives on all trade committees, as well as a stand-alone "Public Health Advisory Committee" that could have influence on the terms of all treaties.
For those interested in all the ins-and-outs of these years-long effort and all the policy analysis related to public health and trade, CPATH's website (www.cpath.org) is the place to go.
Currently there are several important initiatives to move the public health representation issue forward as the Obama government is beginning to focus on trade issues. Please check the CPATH website for all the details.
There will be several trade-related events at the APHA conference in Denver in November that OHS Section members should try to attend. I have been honored to represent the Section in the Trade and Health Forum, but there is a lot to be done and more hands are always welcome.
The events in November include:
Anyone interested in the Trade and Health Forum, and our Section's work in it, should contact me for information at firstname.lastname@example.com.

As we all appreciate, our health is profoundly affected by our transportation decisions and options. Limited opportunities for physical activity, higher exposure to poor air quality, higher incidences of adult and childhood obesity and greater prevalence of asthma and cardiovascular disease are a few of the inequities brought by poor transportation policies. As part of our effort to enhance crosscutting activity and knowledge among various APHA members and sections, APHA is developing advocacy materials and helpful information related to the links between transportation and public health. If anyone is interested in learning more about this initiative, sharing success stories or lessons learned, or establishing a new Forum on Transportation and Public Health, please reach out to us! Interested members are asked to contact Eloisa Raynault at firstname.lastname@example.com.
The Occupational Health and Safety Health Section is now hosting a new listserv to share information about workplace health and safety – open to APHA members and non-members alike. Participants will be able to share information that is specific to workplace health and safety, such as current events, conferences, advocacy campaigns, job announcements or publications. The listserv will also provide a forum for asking questions or initiating discussions about occupational health issues, as well as APHA issues that affect the Occupational Health and Safety Section. May thanks to Amy Leibman and the Migrant Clinicians Network for setting up and hosting the listserv!
To sign up, send a blank e-mail to email@example.com. Please share this information with your colleagues!

The man whose property was searched by the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation over the weekend in connection to the disappearance of Holly Bobo is being held on $1 million bond for threatening a woman last month.
Zachary Adams was arrested Friday for holding a gun to Amber Bray's head and threatening to "gut" her, according to an affidavit of complaint obtained by News 2. His bond was initially set at $250,000 but later increased.
The alleged incident happened February 6 inside Adams' Adams Lane home in Holladay in west Tennessee, about 90 miles west of Nashville.
Adams, 29, also has pending drug charges in Benton County.
According to court records in that county, after a search warrant was executed at the home of Adams' girlfriend on February 26, officers charged him with possession of methamphetamines, marijuana and unlawful drug paraphernalia.
Adams has past convictions in Decatur County for felony possession of marijuana, felony probation violation, felony theft of property $10,000 to $60,000 and misdemeanor assault with threat of bodily injury.
Adams has not been named as suspect in the disappearance of Holly Bobo, but TBI agents searched his property over the weekend.
The TBI said credible information in connection with the Bobo investigation led them to search the property.
The search did not continue Monday due in part to the weather, according to the TBI.
The TBI told News 2 it is not certain if the search will resume on Tuesday. They said the investigation is ongoing.
Bobo was abducted from her home outside Parsons on April 13, 2011. She has not been seen or heard from since.
Adams is next due in court on March 5 for the drug charges in Benton County and on March 10 for the charges in Decatur County.
He is being held in the Chester County jail.

Justin Bieber 's personal life has been a mess lately, and apparently his wax figure at Madame Tussauds New York is also having issues.
Staffers at the Manhattan attraction tell the New York Post they've been forced to remove Justin's wax likeness from public display because it's been damaged by thousands of Bieber fans groping, fondling and grabbing the figure.
The wax figure was unveiled several years ago during what was a more innocent time for the young singer. One source tells the newspaper, "With no ropes or barriers to stop them, thousands of fans have had their photographs taken with him since then -- but it has taken its toll."
Madame Tussauds tells the Post that despite regular maintenance, the 19-year-old pop singer's wax likeness has been damaged to the point where "it no longer does justice either to the star or to the attraction." For that reason, they've reluctantly decided to remove it.
Madame Tussauds general manager, Bret Pidgeon , calls the turn of events "disappointing," but adds, "Hopefully we can welcome a new 'grown-up' Justin back to the attraction in the near future."

Enzymedica - ViraStop - 120 Capsules
Enzymedica Virastop contains a high potency, exclusive blend of protease enzymes to support the immune system. Virastop contains eight different proteases which can break down undigested protein, cellular debris, and toxins in the blood. Protease is able to dissolve almost all proteins as long as they are not components of living cells. For a protease enzyme to digest proteins they have to be attached to a dead organism, damaged, or be a protein that does not belong in the body.
Virastop contains the highest available potency of an exclusive blend of proteases to assist the body in purification. Protease can break down undigested protein, cellular debris and assist in the break down of toxins in the blood, sparing the immune system this task. The immune system can then concentrate its full action on the invasion.
Component BenefitsOral proteases taken on an empty stomach have been shown to be absorbed and carried into the blood stream where they are bound to Alpha II (Alpha-II-macroglobulin). Recent research has indicated that oral proteases bound to the Alpha II break down (digest) protein pathogens in the blood. This includes, but is not limited to viruses, fungal forms (such as candida), bacteria and parasites.
Viruses are cell parasites consisting of nucleic acids covered by a protein film. The introduction of oral proteases, presents the ability of those enzymes to act upon the protein coating of the viruses. Enzymes can also break down undigested food protein, cellular debris, and toxins in the blood, sparing the immune system this task. The immune system can then concentrate its full action on the viral, bacterial, fungal, or parasitic invasion.
For the above reasons Virastop is a unique product. It is not an "immune stimulator", rather an "immune balancer." It contains a blend of eight proteases, which has the potential of becoming part of the immune system when taken on an empty stomach.
About Enzymedica: The Enzyme Experts
Enzymedica's Mission:Enzymedica is dedicated to providing exceptional enzyme-focused supplements at the most therapeutic levels available in the natural foods industry and beyond. It is their commitment to provide unprecedented education and research that propels individuals on the path to vibrant health.
In the spring of 1998, Enzymedica was born. The role of Enzymedica is to offer the public the most effective enzyme products available. They utilize the expertise of doctors, researchers and clinicians in formulating each of their products. They are proud of what they have to offer the public, namely therapeutic enzyme supplements that have been health professional proven.
Enzymedica's entire focus and purpose is enzymes. They are the experts. Unlike most of their competitors, Enzymedica does not make vitamin supplements or herbal cleanses. All they manufacture are the highest quality, highest potency enzyme products available.
Enzymedica products are Health Professional proven. Enzymedica products contain the highest therapeutic activities available. No other company uses higher active units in a multiple enzyme line. In addition to a digestive enzyme that is on average three times stronger than their competitors, Enzymedica has a therapeutic digestive enzyme blend, a carbohydrate digestion and allergy assistance blend, a blood purifier, and a fat digestion and cardiovascular product.
Enzymedica is proud to be GMP Registered through NSF International. Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP) are guidelines that provide a system of processes, procedures, and documentation to assure the product produced has the identity, strength, composition, quality, and purity that it is represented to possess.
NSF International helps protect you by certifying products and writing standards for food, water and consumer goods. As an independent, not-for-profit organization, NSF's ongoing public health commitment is to encourage everyone to live safer. The NSF GMP Registration for contract manufacturers and internal manufacturing facilities of dietary supplement companies enables contract manufacturers to become independently registered by NSF as complying with GMP requirements as listed in Section 8 of NSF/ANSI Standard 173-2006. NSF's Dietary Supplement Standard is updated to keep pace with FDA GMP regulations.
Enzymedica uses an exclusive Thera-blend process for its protease, lipase, amylase and cellulase. This means that each of these enzymes actually represents multiple strains. For example, there are actually four proteases in the Thera-blend protease. They are blended for their ability to break down numerous bonds of protein in varying pH levels. Enzymedica does this at a considerable expense. From a label description Enzymedica also sacrifices active units to provide the best blend possible. A single protease, for example, could produce more active units per milligram than a multiple protease. However, the active pH would be narrow and the number of protein bonds it could break would be limited.
Enzymedica products are 100% vegan and vegetarian. Enzymedica uses no fillers in any of its enzyme formulations.
You will no doubt notice how small the capsules are in comparison to similar products. This is a result of using concentrates with no fillers.
Research EffortsEnzymedica continues to research the therapeutic effectiveness of plant based enzymes through doctors and clinicians. Currently, the company is coordinating and funding research that is ongoing. Enzymedica has every batch third party tested. This ensures they always meet label claim.

Favorite Find Friday: Murad Intensive-C Radiance Peel
Written on May 18, 2012 at 2:24 pm , by April Franzino
It's rare that a facial treatment product produces immediate, noticeable results. Murad Intensive-C Radiance Peel is one of the few exceptions. We smooth the faintly citrus-scented glycolic acid cream-gel over our face, leave it on for ten minutes— you'll feel a bit of tingling— then rinse to reveal a complexion that's so vibrant and glowy it's almost reflective, but with none of the redness or irritation normally associated with peels. Our time-saving trick: Slather it on before you step in the shower so it works while you wash, then rinse before you get out.
Tell us: Do you use at-home peels? What's your product of choice?

NEW YORK—Running the Loews hotel empire takes a lot of stamina for Chief Executive Jonathan Tisch, especially at meal time.
With a travel schedule that keeps him on the road two weeks a month, the 50-year-old New Yorker has lunch at high-profile spots like the Four Seasons Restaurant almost every day and has a heavy rotation of breakfast meetings and cocktail parties.
That means a special greens and chicken salad at Fresco, a New York lunch spot for politicos, and a Cobb, no avocado, at nearby Michael's, an eatery favored by media executives. He doesn't eat at those cocktail parties -- OK: white wine -- and if he slips up on a few French fries, it's an extra half-mile to his daily run.
"You constantly have to keep an eye out," he said.
In the battle of the bulge, few need to be as vigilant as the American chief executive. Like everyone else, they want to be more svelte, but between boardrooms groaning with goodies to first-class airline meals drenched in cream sauce, CEOs face one diet-buster after another -- and they're starting to get pretty creative at dodging them.
For instance, Citigroup Inc.'s Sanford Weill has given up bread, while Donna Karan has switched to raw foods. Hotel marketing CEO Paul McManus now swears by a hypnotist named "Dr. Val" in Brooklyn, N.Y. And for meals aboard his Gulfstream V jet, Dallas Mavericks owner Mark Cuban brings on his favorite snack -- a McDonald's salad, sometimes with salsa instead of dressing.
Low-carb menus
Whether it's working any better for them than the rest of the country's 55 million dieters remains to be seen. With two out of every three Americans overweight -- the worst it's ever been, according to the national Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in Atlanta -- weight-loss clinics that cater to management, like Pritikin in Turnberry Isle, Fla., say high-ranking executives now account for about 25 percent of their business.
Meanwhile, chefs are scrambling to keep up with quirky special orders, and everyone from Opus One in Detroit -- cafeteria to the Ford Motor Co. and General Motors Corp. set -- to the Multnomah Athletic Club in Portland, Ore., says that new low-carb menu items are helping boost lunch business.
So, with New Year's dieting resolutions still relatively fresh, we decided to check in with waist-watching executives to see how they were faring. Thanks to all the help money can buy -- personal nutritionists, chefs, office gyms -- many maintained a fighting trim.
But there were backpedalers, too.
Lifestyle guru B. Smith -- whose "B. Smith Style" program is rerun on TV One Inc., the cable television venture for African Americans recently begun by Comcast Corp. and Lanham-based Radio One Inc. -- gained a dress size trying to juggle her television programming, running three restaurants and designing an array of home items.
And a personal trainer and two gyms didn't help the hefty Lee Cooperman, CEO of the hedge fund Omega Advisors, who vows to stick with the South Beach Diet he started Jan. 1.
Diet one-upmanship
Power dieting is hardly new, of course, and CEOs were fighting fat even back in the days of the three-martini lunch.
Indeed, as early adopters, they helped put diets like South Beach (a low-carbohydrate plan favored by Bill Clinton) and Slim-Fast (diet shakes once endorsed by ex-Dodgers manager Tommy Lasorda) on the map. And CEOs were among the first to sign on to the Zone Diet, which calls for keeping carbohydrates, protein and fat in specific ratios.
But as the carb-counting craze of 2003 mounted, dieting in the executive suite changed from an embarrassing chore to a status symbol.
Now, instead of competing over business lunches to see who can order the priciest wines or most cutting-edge entrees, executives say the new rivalry is to see who can eat the least. Lunch talk often revolves around what diets people are on and what the parameters are.

16' E-Z Connect Multipurpose Edging 10 10
Great product We ordered these last year and needed more this year for another area. They are so easy to install and they work as advertised. April 25, 2013
garden edging We installed this edging and it was quite easy. IT looks excellent and bends easily, even though at first, it may seem to be impossible because of the strength of the plastic. I will reorder this again. April 5, 2013
Easy to install The con is the price. It's on the high side compared to a regular DYI store. However, it's good quality and very easy to install. It is strong enough to have the steardy look when you set it straight. But it is flexible enough to mold it to fit your curves. So I definitely recommend it. July 20, 2012
Easy Edging! This is a very easy edging to install. I had purchased eight sets and six of them went together without any issues. The other two were packaged slightly different and took a little more muscle to fit the pieces together, so not sure what that was about. Put I edged my whole yard in about 30 minutes. Then I just put mulch over top and it looks great! May 12, 2012
Fabulous This was as advertised. Great price and easy to install. In fact we are thinking of getting one more set for another area of the yard. May 3, 2012
Easy to use product I bought this for my husband to redo our landscaping. He loved the edging but it does not curve as easily as the picture would have you to believe.He also had to make a few more pins to hold it in place.If you don't have to curve it to much it is a great product. A couple more pins and it would almost be perfect. The results of his labor and this edging were beautiful! October 14, 2011

Summer Brights: Just a Bit of Yellow
It's nearly summer! The days are long, the nights are warm, and everything is sunny, beautiful yellow. As seen here, a little bit of yellow goes a long way towards adding a dose of joy and personality to any space.
Scared of yellow? Ease into it by using just a pop. Catching a glimpse of yellow in an unexpected place is fun and makes you happy. It goes on anything and with any other color, so even color-phobes will take a shine to it.

Adore that door
inspiring ~ amazing how a bit of yellow really makes some of those spaces!
That shaker room looks beautiful.
Ok. I'm painting my door yellow. It's official.
We recently painted the inside of our bathroom door a nice bright yellow (Benjamin Moore's Yolk). It is a fun surprise in an otherwise airy pale turquoise & white bathroom.
My favorites are 1 and 10. :)

Comment: Have it put into writing. (Score 1) 666
Seriously, if your recommendation was to go with a product with paid support and your CIO is opting to go the other way, then get it in writing detailing the exchange. Nothing wrong with Centos. Nothing at all. Great platform and great support. However, there are products out there, or drivers for said products, which will ONLY work on a RHEL box because of RPM package dependencies or library linking to libraries of different names/etc. When that time comes up and it results in downtime, you don't want your manager or worse yet, the same CIO riding you for an answer as to why it is taking you so long to get a "standard" RPM installed to get things working again.
I've used RHEL, CENTOS, Oracle's EL, and Ubuntu... and there is ALWAYS something that needs a driver or a package installation that breaks because it didn't support the distro/flavor/version you have installed. Alien and other tools can only do so much... you don't want to be pulling your hair out at 2am in the morning... or worse yet, at 2pm in the afternoon, during a deployment/conference/expo/etc.

Displaying Book, Movie & Music Collections
Inspiration Gallery
This month on Apartment Therapy we are looking at collections and even if you don't consider yourself a collector (no vinyl toys or blue & white porcelain at your house!) we bet you have a fairly sizable collection of books, music and movies. As more and more of these items move to the digital realm, they will have less of a visual impact on our homes...
...but for now, they are a big consideration.
Most lovers of these items don't hide away their collections - they often choose to celebrate them and show them off on open shelves - today, we did a search for photos from some of our favorite magazines to create a bit of an inspiration gallery of media collections done right. Enjoy!

I've got a great shelving unit for sale in Los Angeles for just this!
how come shelves full of books make me drool?
I could see myself growing old in the first one. It's great.
We have a ton books. 95% of them are in storage because we haven't gotten bookcases yet. When we do, all the books will come back home! We are avid readers and just the sight of books make me happy!
BTW - I agree with Aster, I can see my husband and I doing exactly what that older couple in the 1st pic is doing. That's the life!
Bitdot, "that's the life" was the exact phrase that crossed my mind.
I have been considering doing a combination library/dining room for years, but always thought it was an odd combination. This has given me all sorts of inspiration. Thanks AT.
I love to display my books, and just got shelves that blend in with the walls so the books are most prominent :)
Very nice - I love the colorful built-in shelf.
We have a dining room library combo at my house. Its just the two of us most nights, so we tucked the table off to one side of the room and lined the other 3 sides with book shelves. A big rug ties the spaces together. The table has hidden wheels, so we roll it into the center when we have guests, and bring in extra chairs from the kitchen. Works like a charm.
As an aside, the picture above with the red wall and the hearth really bothers me. Way too much clutter and tchotchkes on the shelves, which means you cant get the books off, which means you don't really use them.

Bethesda announce first Dishonored DLC - Dunwall City Trials
Bethesda have just announced the first DLC for Dishonored, titled the Dunwall City Trials. It's a time-trial and score-attack challenge pack that, they claim, will put your combat, stealth and mobility skills to the test.
The ten maps are set in the abstract world of the Outsider and will feature a range of objectives, including collecting clues to help identify and assassinate a target, a Thief-like non-lethal mansion infiltration, a wave-based battle against tallboys, weepers, thugs and guards, and a challenge to chain as many drop-kills as possible.
A high score leaderboard will rank your score, letting you brag about your blink prowess. Naturally there'll also be a selection of new achievements.
Dunwall City Trials is due for release on December 11, and will cost £3.99.

Jan Couturier, the first permanent manager of the Tracy City Center Association business improvement district, announced Aug. 30 that she will depart effective Sept. 14.
"I am very grateful for the opportunity to have acted as your district manager during the last two years," she said in a statement. "It has given me a great insight into the importance of the efforts of the TCCA in connection with the Chamber (of Commerce) and the city."
The TCCA was established in December 2009 to promote businesses in the downtown area through special events, extra maintenance and marketing efforts.
Reached in the late morning Thursday, Sept. 6, Couturier was not available to comment immediately.
According to City Manager Leon Churchill, Couturier will begin work with the city Sept. 17 as an administrative analyst. Though the position to which she applied for was advertised as being in the city manager's office, he said, Couturier will be posted in another department.
Couturier's husband, Roger Birdsall, is one of five people running for two seats on the Tracy City Council in the Nov. 6 election. He faces Councilman Michael Maciel and challengers Charles Manne, Ray Morelos and Nancy Young.
"Jan will not be working in the city manager's office to avoid real and perceived conflict (of interest) possibilities," Churchill said, adding that he expected her transition to be "smooth."
According to Dino Maragos, owner of the Tracy Inn and president of the TCCA board, Couturier strengthened the organization during its first two full years of operation.
"(She) put us in good position," Maragos said. "I think she did a good job. I think, for the first couple of years, there's a tremendous amount of ramp-up we had to do to get things … to the point we're actually doing work and not working on setup-type stuff."
According to Maragos, the organization is not sure who will replace Couturier at the helm or whether the position will be split between two or more people.
"We're not sure exactly what we're going to do," he said.
However, Maragos confirmed that the association will work with interns from University of the Pacific to gather demographic information about who visits the downtown area and why — information that can be used to help attract businesses.
"(We can) shape the downtown with what it is that we need based on those demographics," he said.
The interns will not be paid, Maragos said, as the TCCA is trying to have the internship incorporated into UOP's business curriculum.
Maragos also confirmed that Marcos LiMandri, who works with consulting firm New City America, was signed to a 10-month contract by the TCCA's 15 directors.
Tracy Press Publisher Emeritus Sam Matthews is one of those directors, and the city's Kim Scarlata is the board secretary.
Maragos said LiMandri's experience — New City America has helped establish numerous business improvement districts in California — will be an asset to TCCA.
"He's going to focus a little more on business attraction, promotion, those sorts of things," Maragos said.
The contract specifies LiMandri will receive $25,000 for his consulting work, which began Sept. 1.
Under the umbrella of New City America, LiMandri helped the city of Tracy establish the TCCA. He signed a consulting contract with the city in July 2008 to conduct surveys, generate enough support to establish the association and help form its governance structure, among other tasks.
According to city records obtained via public records requests, New City America was paid $69,682.73 between Aug. 20, 2008, and June 30, 2009, for services related to forming the business improvement district.
Between July 1, 2009, and March 2, 2011, New City America was paid $54,918.71 by the now-defunct Tracy Redevelopment Agency and $34,079.55 in federal Community Development Block Grant money, according to city documents.
Formation of the TCCA was approved Dec. 15, 2009, by landowners — including the city of Tracy — representing 59 percent of the property within the business district's boundaries. According to Press reports at the time, the city holds an 11 percent stake of the land within the district, making it the largest single landowner.
A public records request seeking confirmation of those numbers is pending.
The Tracy Press, as one of the landowners within the district boundaries, also voted in favor of creating the TCCA.
The improvement district is funded by a special tax on landowners within the district boundaries, which includes a general fund expenditure by the city.
According to a previous Press report, the district cost the city of Tracy $13,000 in general fund money during the first year the district was in place.
An updated total of the city's expenditures related to the TCCA was not available as of press time.

Solar and Wind Energy
The Grid:
Our ancient, creaky solar photovoltaic array still cranks out 1,200 Watts of electricity on a sunny day. When we started the nursery, this was enough to spin our meter backwards on most days. But as we've grown, we've added people and therefore computers and servers, finished rooms with light fixtures, printers, and pumps. Our current draw on the grid has become far more than our original solar array puts back. To complete the renewable energy component of our electric consumption we now purchase 100% wind energy from CleanCurrents.
Solar Irrigation:
We've implemented two solar irrigation systems. The first uses a small solar powered well pump to pump water into a reservoir. The overflow from this goes into a fish-pond in one of our greenhouses, and from there into a pond, where it recharges the ground water. Gravity and an AC booster pump provide water pressure from the reservoir.
The second solar system is more sophisticated, and supplies most of our water needs. A powerful solar well pump feeds water continuously into 4,000 gallon of water tanks. A float switch automatically shuts the pump off when the tanks are full. Another solar array charges a bank of batteries. The batteries then provides energy to a pressure booster pump, which charges our pressure system. A network of buried pipes brings the water to our greenhouses and outdoor storage areas. All of this is in an area where there is no grid energy available, so reliability of the system is a must.
For the past three years, we've heated the nursery – 4 greenhouses and our offices with waste vegetable oil. The oil comes from local restaurants, and is diverted from the waste stream (Re-use!). It is stored and used in our 350,000 btu/hour boiler.

Defining moments of 2012
SA Rugby looks back at the moments which - for better or for worse - made 2012 a year to remember.
27 January: Blue Bulls rugby supremo Heyneke Meyer is appointed as the new Springbok head coach, taking over from Peter de Villiers who coached South Africa from 2008 to 2011.
24 February: The opening weekend of Super Rugby gets under way in South Africa with the Bulls getting the better of the Sharks first up in Pretoria, the Stormers blowing away the Hurricanes and the Lions beat the Cheetahs - John Mitchell's pride would only taste victory again in Round 15 (against the Sharks).
25 February: Eben Etzebeth is the surprise inclusion in the Stormers side to face the Hurricanes, as the 20-year-old lock lines up for his Super Rugby debut. He would go on to represent the Springboks in all but one of South Africa's Tests this year.
31 March: A first victory on New Zealand soil saw the Cheetahs return home with with 11 log points and their tails up having recorded their most successful overseas tour to Australasia (which included wins over the Rebels and Hurricanes).
14 April: The Stormers' six-match unbeaten run comes to an end when they lose their first game of the season to the Crusaders (31-24) in Christchurch, where Tom Taylor provided all of his team's points.
29 April: In-form Cheetahs pivot Johan Goosen is ruled out for four months and misses the rest of the Super Rugby season due to injury.
26 May: The Sharks keep their play-off hopes alive with a 25-20 victory over South African conference rivals the Stormers at Kings Park in Durban.
2 June: The last round of Super Rugby fixtures are played before the tournament breaks for nearly a month during the June internationals.
4 June: South Africa coach Heyneke Meyer names experienced centre Jean de Villiers as his captain for the upcoming three-Test series against England.
9 June: De Villiers marks his debut as captain with a crucial second-half try to help the Springboks edge out England 22-17 in Durban, where fly-half Morne Steyn scored the remaining 17 points for South Africa.
16 June: JP Pietersen is named man-of-the-match as South Africa seal the series against England with a closely fought 36-27 victory in Johannesburg.
21 June: The Blue Bulls reveal that loose forward CJ Stander will leave Pretoria to join Munster at the end of the South African season.
22 June: Lions coach John Mitchell is suspended by the Super Rugby franchise, pending further investigation. The suspension comes after several players laid complaints about Mitchell to Golden Lions Rugby Union president Kevin de Klerk.
22 June: South Africa become IRB Junior World Championship winners and end New Zealand's four-year reign with a 22-16 win at Newlands in Cape Town.
23 June: England recover from their series loss to the Boks by earning a 14-all draw in the last Test match which was played in Port Elizabeth. SA were ahead 14-11 only for England to level when fly-half Owen Farrell kicked his second penalty from close range with eight minutes to go.
29/30 June: Super Rugby resumes with just three rounds remaining as the Stormers and Bulls pick up wins over the Lions and Cheetahs respectively.
13/14th July: The final round of regular season action sees the Sharks and Bulls qualify for the play-offs having finished on the top six of the overall standings, while the Stormers end top of the table and guaranteed a home semi-final.
28 July: Against all odds, the Sharks beat the Stormers 26-19 in their Super Rugby semi-final at Newlands in Cape Town. This is the first time that an away side has beaten the Stormers at their home ground in 2012.
4 August: The Sharks are beaten 37-6 by the Chiefs in a one-sided Super Rugby Final at Hamilton's Waikato Stadium.
16 August: The South African Rugby Union confirm that the Southern Kings will join the Stormers, Bulls, Sharks and Cheetahs in the 2013 Super Rugby tournament, The Kings' entry comes at the expense of the Lions who finished bottom of the South African Conference in 2012.
18 August: History is made at Newlands in Cape Town when South Africa plays host to newcomers Argentina in an expanded southern hemisphere tournament. The Springboks beat the Pumas 27-6.
19 August: Springbok hooker Bismarck du Plessis is ruled out for the the rest of 2012 after tearing knee ligaments in the victory against Argentina.
25 August: South Africa need a late charge-down try to snatch a 16-all draw against Argentina at Estadio Malvinas Argentinas in Mendoza. This is the Pumas' best result in 15 Tests with the Springboks.
14 September: The Southern Kings show their intent for 2013's Super Rugby campaign by signing Cheetahs centre Andries Strauss and Sharks lock Steven Sykes.
15 September: Perennial Currie Cup challengers the Blue Bulls are in dire straits after losing 49-34 to Griquas at the GWK Stadium in Kimberley. This is the Pretoria-based outfit's third successive loss and keeps them rooted to the bottom of the points table. They would bounce back, however, with several important victories and sneak into the tournament's semi-finals via the back door.
29 September: South Africa bounce back from consecutive defeats on the road with a comprehensive 31-8 Rugby Championship victory over Australia at Loftus Versfeld in Pretoria. This would be their biggest win of the year.
5 October: With just two rounds of league matches left to play in the Currie Cup, each of the six teams still have a chance of qualifying for the play-offs.
13 October: The Blue Bulls clinch the final spot in the Currie Cup semi-finals after a thrilling 50-29 win over the Golden Lions in Johannesburg. They join eventual champions Western Province, the Sharks and the Lions in the play-offs.
26 October: Free State Cheetahs retain their Currie Cup Premier Division status with a 16-6 win in the second leg of their promotion/relegation play-off against the EP Kings in Port Elizabeth. This after they won the first leg of the play-off 53-14 in Bloemfontein the previous week.
27 October: Western Province claim their first Currie Cup title since 2001 with a 25-18 win over the Sharks in Durban.
28 October: Springbok coach Heyneke Meyer recall Saracens hooker Schalk Brits and Toulouse prop Gurthrö Steenkamp for the Boks' tour to Europe.
1 November: Springbok wing Bryan Habana is named South African Rugby Player of the Year for the third time. Bok lock Eben Etzebeth wins the Young Player of the Year award.
10 November: The Springboks are dealt a blow on the morning of their first end-of-year Test against Ireland when prop Beast Mtawarira withdraws from the side due to a recurrence of mild heart palpitations. The condition would lead to Mtawarira being withdrawn from the touring squad.
13 November: Lions coach John Mitchell returns to the Johannesburg-based outfit, after being cleared of all misconduct charges.
24 November: The Springboks finish their end-of-year tour to Eurpoe on a high, with a 16-15 win over England at Twickenham. This means that they are unbeaten on the three-Test trip to the northern hemisphere after beating Ireland and Scotland in their previous matches.
28 November: Former All Blacks boss John Mitchell joins Premiersdhip outfit, Sale on a full-time basis shortly after terminating his contract with the Lions.
29 November: Bryan Habana's spectacular try for South Africa against New Zealand in the Rugby Championship wins him the International Rugby Players' Association's (IRPA) Try of the Year award.

Atlantic City, Vegas of the East? New law could make it easier to get hitched in A.C.
What bride wouldn't want to tie the knot in a dream wedding in the East Coast's most charming spot — Atlantic City?
New Jersey, home of hopeless romantic Governor Chris Christie, is quite close to a new law that would make it easier to get married in the A.C. — just add alcohol!
It would also expedite the divorce process — just add sobriety!
The bill, which has been passed by both houses of the New Jersey legislature, would nix a 72-hour waiting period for obtaining marriage or civil union licenses, according to the Wall Street Journal.
Nothing like instant gratification when making a horrible decision.
The new bill also proposes the fee for obtaining a marriage or civil union license be increased from $28 to $60 — a steep jump, but given that you've probably already gambled away most of your savings while blacked-out drunk by the time you decide to get married in Atlantic City anyway, we're guessing the extra $32 isn't likely to be the one thing that makes you stop and realize that it's the worst idea ever.
Long live love!

great helmet for the price also very comfortable and the shipping was fast as always
rwatson1870 Posted:
Comfy, nice looking helmet. I would give it 5 stars if it didn't sit as high on my head, however i am sure the amount of padding is there for standard safety.
GDreddawg Posted:
Helmet looks great comes with a nice helmet cover/bag. Fits great. The only problem is the liner keeps coming out when I take the helmet off. The velcro does not keep it in.

X-ray Screening Information
A specific application and approval from Minnesota Department of Health (MDH) is required for Computed Tomography (CT) self-referral imaging. MDH reviews CT self-referral screening applications in three different areas: Cardiac, Colon or Lung. The applicant must meet the requirements in Chapter 4732 and must be registered with the Commissioner before an application is initiated and examinations are performed. CT self-referral screening must not be performed without MDH approval.
MDH does not endorse CT self-referral examinations. Instead MDH recommends you see a physician for evaluation. The physician will identify the appropriate diagnostic imaging according to your family history and symptoms.
CT self-referral applications are approved according to Chapter 4732.0565. Currently, there is no fee for CT self-referral applications submittals.

text: I originally got this pack for long multi-pitch climbing during a week at Red Rock. It's perfect! It's just big enough to stow the rack and incidentals in the pack for the approach. The hydration pouch protected my large bladder great. It would be nice to have a removable clip on the rope straps, but that is an easy modification. It's really not that big of a deal to get the rope in there anyway. The daisy's are nice to clip up whatever you can't fit, or don't want in the pack (read climbing shoes). The suspension is great! The pack sits high enough that it doesn't mess with getting gear off your harness, but at the same time you don't hit your head on it when you look up. It's low profile enough that you forget it's even there when your climbing. The best feature of all is the guidebook pocket. It's really nice to be able to get to the guidebook without having to open the pack and risk accidentally pulling out and dropping something else. Very well designed pack for long trad routes.
