The Obama administration's Department of Alleged Justice has filed charges of espionage against Edward Snowden, a former National Security Agency contractor.
Edward Snowden, a former National Security Agency contractor accused of espionage by the U.S. Justice Department, "should be in line for a medal" for revealing the extent of federal surveillance, a reader says.
The Guardian via The Associated Press
Mr. Snowden had the nerve to inform Americans that their government was spying on them.
"Spy" is the proper word for this, since the surveillance program over our emails and Web searches would certainly be called spying if done by anyone else, and, unlike airport security measures, this program has been created and executed surreptitiously. He may be 29 years late, but George Orwell's "Big Brother" has arrived.
Based on information to this point, Mr. Snowden should be in line for a medal rather than an indictment. Whether the massive and undiscriminating spy program passes constitutional muster or not -- and whether it is necessary for national security or not -- the basic trade-off between individual privacy rights and national security benefits should have been openly debated and voted upon by Congress. It was not.
Even the Patriot Act's author called the massive spy program an abuse of that law. This is not a matter to be settled behind closed doors by a handful of congressional leaders. National security does not give the government a blank check to run roughshod over basic constitutional processes and protections.
Americans should not have had to depend on Mr. Snowden to inform us about what the government is doing to us in our name. Members of Congress lacked the courage to stand up for our system of government.
Whether the blanket surveillance program is right or wrong, the process by which it was approved and continues to operate is clearly wrong.
Congressional defenders of this program may believe they were protecting our national security, and they may have, but they also violated their oaths to defend the Constitution and further diminished trust in government.

Congress Square gone wild best idea for Portland park
We Portland citizens still own the piece of real estate abutting the former Eastland Hotel. Why is there this unenlightened talk of selling it? Folks, you don't give away or sell away a vital part of your city! Haven't we learned anything since the demolition of Union Station?
This little space in the center of Portland was handed back to us some time back. Such a stroke of luck! What to do with it?
I don't know why everyone doesn't agree with me. Get rid of the Japanese trees, right away. Get rid of the cement. Fill it in up to street level. And then turn it into a miniature Maine forest grove.
Plant Maine trees: shrub pine and dwarf white birch (keep them in check). No benches, no cute paths, no "cleanups." Let it grow up wild like the Maine forest, with interesting weeds. Hopefully, birds will dwell in the branches.*
Then we Portland citizens, without driving out into the countryside, can pause and experience this precious remnant of the beautiful state that our city grew out of.
In the classic film "The Ten Commandments," there is an emotional scene showing the morning when the Hebrews start out for the Promised Land.
An old man in a cart, who knows he will never live to reach it, hands a sapling to a young boy. "Plant this tree in the Promised Land," he says. "Birds will dwell in its branches."
The Rev. Joseph R. McKenna

This is identical to my eggplant parmesan recipe BUT it serves six instead of four and unlike the other does not include noodles or sauce. Sometimes I just want the eggplant part (or I do not have time to make more noodles) and I wanted a reflection of that in my tracker (i.e. 250 calories less!). Let me reiterate: this is not "diet" eggplant parmesan. This is delicious authentic eggplant parmesan with no "shortcuts." It is worth EVERY bite.

Portrait by unknown artist
|c. 1170
|c. 1250 (aged around 80)
|Known for
|Fibonacci number
Introduction of digital notation to Europe
|Guglielmo Bonacci
Leonardo Pisano Bigollo (c. 1170 – c. 1250)[1] – known as Fibonacci, and also Leonardo of Pisa, Leonardo Pisano, Leonardo Bonacci, Leonardo Fibonacci – was an Italian mathematician, considered by some "the most talented western mathematician of the Middle Ages."[2]
Fibonacci is best known to the modern world for[3] the spreading of the Hindu–Arabic numeral system in Europe, primarily through his composition in 1202 of Liber Abaci (Book of Calculation), and for a number sequence named the Fibonacci numbers after him, which he did not discover but used as an example in the Liber Abaci.[4]
Fibonacci was born around 1170 to Guglielmo Bonacci, a wealthy Italian merchant and, by some accounts, the consul for Pisa.[according to whom?] Guglielmo directed a trading post in Bugia, a port in the Almohad dynasty's sultanate in North Africa. Fibonacci traveled with him as a young boy, and it was in Bugia (now Béjaïa, Algeria) that he learned about the Hindu–Arabic numeral system.[5]
Alternatively, according to a history text by mathematician Tobias Dantzig, his father was "a lowly shipping clerk nicknamed Bonaccio, which, in the idiom of the period, meant 'simpleton' ... hence 'Fibonacci,' the 'son of a simpleton.'"[6]
Recognizing that arithmetic with Hindu–Arabic numerals is simpler and more efficient than with Roman numerals, Fibonacci travelled throughout the Mediterranean world to study under the leading Arab mathematicians of the time. He returned from his travels around 1200, and in 1202, the 32-year-old recorded what he had learned in Liber Abaci (Book of Abacus or Book of Calculation), and thereby popularized Hindu–Arabic numerals in Europe.
Fibonacci became a guest of Emperor Frederick II, who enjoyed mathematics and science. In 1240 the Republic of Pisa honored Fibonacci (referred to as Leonardo Bigollo)[7] by granting him a salary.
Fibonacci died in Pisa, though his death is an unknown date estimated between 1240[8] and 1250.[9]
Liber Abaci[edit]
In the Liber Abaci (1202), Fibonacci introduced the so-called modus Indorum (method of the Indians), today known as Arabic numerals (Sigler 2003; Grimm 1973). The book advocated numeration with the digits 0–9 and place value. The book showed the practical importance of the new numeral system by applying it to commercial bookkeeping, conversion of weights and measures, the calculation of interest, money-changing, and other applications. The book was well received throughout educated Europe and had a profound impact on European thought.
Fibonacci sequence[edit]
Liber Abaci also posed, and solved, a problem involving the growth of a population of rabbits based on idealized assumptions. The solution, generation by generation, was a sequence of numbers later known as Fibonacci numbers. The number sequence was known to Indian mathematicians as early as the 6th century,[10][11][12] but it was Fibonacci's Liber Abaci that introduced it to the West.
In the Fibonacci sequence of numbers, each number is the sum of the previous two numbers. Fibonacci began the sequence not with 0, 1, 1, 2, as modern mathematicians do but with 1,1, 2, etc. He carried the calculation up to the thirteenth place (fourteenth in modern counting), that is 233, though another manuscript carries it to the next place: 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34, 55, 89, 144, 233, 377.[13][14] Fibonacci did not speak about the golden ratio as the limit of the ratio of consecutive numbers in this sequence.
- Liber Abaci (1202), a book on calculations (English translation by Laurence Sigler, Springer, 2002)
- Practica Geometriae (1220), a compendium of techniques in surveying, the measurement and partition of areas and volumes, and other topics in practical geometry (English translation by Barnabas Hughes, Springer, 2008).
- Flos (1225), solutions to problems posed by Johannes of Palermo
- Liber quadratorum ("The Book of Squares"), on Diophantine equations, dedicated to Emperor Frederick II. See in particular the Brahmagupta–Fibonacci identity.
- Di minor guisa (on commercial arithmetic; lost)
- Commentary on Book X of Euclid's Elements (lost)
In the 19th century, a statue of Fibonacci was constructed and erected in Pisa. Today it is located in the western gallery of the Camposanto, historical cemetery on the Piazza dei Miracoli.[15]
There are many mathematical concepts named after Fibonacci, for instance because of a connection to the Fibonacci numbers. Examples include the Brahmagupta–Fibonacci identity, the Fibonacci search technique, and the Pisano period. Beyond mathematics, namesakes of Fibonacci include the asteroid 6765 Fibonacci and the art rock band The Fibonaccis.

The basic meanings of "bigollo" appear to be "good-for-nothing" and "traveller" (so it could be translated by "vagrant", "vagabond" or "tramp"). A. F. Horadam contends a connotation of "bigollo" is "absent-minded" (see first footnote of "Eight hundred years young"), which is also one of the connotations of the English word "wandering". The translation "the wanderer" in the quote above tries to combine the various connotations of the word "bigollo" in a single English word.

Hi Helen!
How nice to meet you! You're the first person around here that I've met who has actually DONE the BFL workouts or done a challenge. I've met a gazillion people in different gyms who say "oh, that's a great book" but no one has actually said that they've done it. I love it. I've used it off and on since about 2000. Never entered a challenge though because I felt motivated enough on my own without it. But, I am loving having friends here who are doing the same thing.
I'd love to run my shoulder situation by you and see what you think of it. I don't have time right now to put down any specifics but I'll do it soon. I took some notes of things to ask you while doing my UBWO this morning.
That's great that you've got a specific focus as a trainer. I would imagine that a lot of people need that type of specialization.
I will ask this one shoulder question though, what kind of shoulder surgery did you have? Mine was to repair a torn labrum, the lip that holds the humorous in place. It's possible that the recovery and exercise plan is similar anyway but I never had any torn muscles like most people with rotator cuff surgery. Everyone assumes that's what I had. I even talked with a trainer today who was insisting that was what I had ... it was weird. She hadn't heard of a labrum so " it didn't exist" (... in her mind.)
One more question ... what gym do you go to? Do you, by any chance, go to the one that has the "bodpod" ( not sure of the name) body fat testing device?
Thanks again for introducing yourself! I'm delighted to "meet" you!
Hi Patricia -
yup it's the Weymouth Club - great place 'cause we have everything from Physical Therapy to a Figure contest (one of my fellow trainers is a former Mr. Universe). I love the corrective exercise focus - I did the NASM certification about a year ago - still struggling to get the word out that you don't have to have an injury to benefit from it, but it's starting to catch on.
The trainer you spoke with needs to learn the cardinal rule - if you don't know, say "I don't know, but I will find out for you." The labrum is actually the primary stabilizing mechanism for the shoulder - without it, the joint would look like a soccer ball on a golf tee! In my case, I tore the labrum first, and let it go (thanks to a mis-diagnosis) and eventually tore the main rotator cuff muscle tore completely in half!
Exercise modifications will depend on where your tear was - SLAP tears are the most common, they are on the top, close to the biceps tendon, so biceps tendinitis is a common problem. The other tear I am familiar with is a Bankhart (sp??) tear which is down lower and in the front. If you are finished PT, there are no specific restrictions, but some exercises may be more comfortable than others, and most people need to continue working range of motion. Email me if you want more specifics: firstname.lastname@example.com
Whatever you can do or dream, begin it. Boldness has genius, power and magic in it! -Goethe-
Discipline is remembering what you want :-)
I'm very happy to say I'm back to looking like I did in the June 2010 photo in my profile which was accomplished after 6 1/2 official BFL challenges in a row. I put on that same outfit this week and was very comfortable in it. Even my arms are starting show that definition again. :-)
This time I only needed 12 weeks to get back to where I was last year.
Keep pressing ahead ladies. It will come if you put in the work.
Love you some you...PERSEVERE!

Comments: Morris has the skills which catch your attention at first glance (arm strength, mobility) but the whole package leaves a lot to be desired. His habit of uncorking wild throws and trusting his accuracy a bit too much is a deadly combination which leads to costly turnovers. His issues with accuracy don't stem from obvious mechanical flaws, which doesn't bode well for his future NFL coaching staff's attempts at fixing the issues. Someone will gamble on him based on his arm but there are too many flaws to warrant a high selection.

The Ashland City Band, directed by Don Bieghler and sponsored by the city of Ashland, Oregon, presents an annual series of "concerts in the park" every summer. The concerts take place at the Butler Band Shell in Ashland's beautiful Lithia Park every Thursday from late June until early August. After having the concerts begin at 7:30 pm for many years, during the latter part of the 2011 season there were some complications with the Oregon Shakespeare Festival and the concert times were moved up to 7:00. The vast majority of audience comments approved the earlier concert time, so for the entire 2012 season the concerts will begin at 7:00 pm. The ACB also leads the Independence Day Parade through Ashland and plays a concert at the band shell in the early afternoon. (If July 4th occurs on a Thursday, there is no concert that evening.) Concerts are free and a variety of pre-concert entertainment groups play each week, usually beginning at about 6:00. Bring the family, bring a picnic, bring a friend, and enjoy these free concerts this summer.
For audio samples of the band performing, load the August 7, 2004 program and click on the selection(s) you would like to hear. NOTE: if the music does not play, check your browser settings to make sure it will allow you to play MP3 files. A failure to play can also be caused by a setting to block pop-up windows.

Executive Chef/Owner
Scott Boswell's star is rising with an élan elegance that is all his own. The Louisiana native and chef/owner of New Orleans' hottest restaurant, Stella!, has a vision of bringing his globally inspired flavors to markets where they are fully appreciated.
"My international experience has allowed me to create a style that captures the elegance of French, the simplicity of Italian, combined with Asian flavors and bold Creole accents," as Boswell explains his unique approach. "My travels and explorations have added important layers to my culinary repertoire."
A graduate of the Culinary Institute of America at Hyde Park, Boswell initiated his career with Chef Kevin Graham at the Windsor Court in New Orleans before embarking on a best-of-Europe search, where he credits Chef Pascal Morel in Salon de Provence, France, with his foundational techniques. His work in the kitchen of Enoteca Pinchiorri in Florence, Italy, solidified his reverent, sophisticated cuisine. Florence is where he started work with Masahiko Kobe, now known as "Iron Chef Italian."
He returned to the U.S. with the opportunity to create world-class cuisine at a Montana resort. This Big Sky experience added a new element to his culinary palate, and he felt it was time to take flight on his own by returning to New Orleans and opening Stella! in 2001.
Boswell's relationship with Masahiko Kobe brought him to Tokyo in 2003, working at Kobe's Restaurant Massa. Tokyo became a pivotal experience, bringing out a passion for honest and distinct flavors that sparkled with fresh clarity. Tokyo continues to lure Boswell as another source of inspiration.
A turn in the kitchen of La Rochelle allowed Boswell to work with "Iron Chef French," Hiroyuki Sakai in 2004, as well as other fine international top chefs, including "Iron Chef Chinese," Chin Kenichi.
Additionally, his pursuit of culinary excellence has led him to learn alongside many acclaimed chefs within the U.S. Chef Jean-Georges in the Trump International Tower hosted Boswell as a guest in his kitchen in 2006. "Iron Chef Japanese" and current "Iron Chef America," Masaharu Mirimoto, and Chef Eric Ziebold graciously did the same in 2007.
During 2008 and 2009, Boswell had the distinguished pleasure of working in Chicago with Chef Grant Achatz of Alinea, Chef Charlie Trotter and with Chef Jonathan Benno at Thomas Keller's world-renowned restaurant, "Per Se," in Time Warner NYC. He also spent time at Restaurant Daniel with Daniel Boulud, and at Tailor with Sam Mason.
In the New Year he's jumped from the South at McCrady's in Charleston, South Carolina, with Chef Sean Brock to the Northern laboratory of Chicago's Moto with Chef Homaro Cantu.
Seeing his career in stages, Boswell considers all of these educational experiences evolutionary to his cuisine. It is the combined sage of his many mentors that inspires him like the brilliance of guiding stars.
He believes in what he calls his culinary destiny. He endeavors to reach beyond the senses to create a culinary performance in everything he does. Chef Boswell is all about "foods that shout with uniquely global voices."
Managing Partner
Tanya Babiak Boswell was born in Plainfield, New Jersey and grew up in Orlando, Florida. While visiting New Orleans on business, her path led her to Stella! restaurant for respite from an exhausting day. As she sat alone, Boswell walked into the dining room and noticed the beautiful woman who would become his wife five years later. He instructed the bartender not to let her get away and proceeded to send her food hoping to get her attention. The plan worked. This introduction led to an intensive three month, long distance courtship which ultimately brought Tanya to New Orleans, giving up her mortgage banking career to enter the restaurant business. After five years of engagement and surviving the challenges of Hurricane Katrina, Tanya married Scott on October 19, 2007 and joined him in not only matrimony, but also in a flourishing restaurant partnership.
Tanya and Scott, along with an impressive team of employees, have set the new standards of culinary expertise in what has been deemed the "new" New Orleans. Her finesse and attention to detail has become a priceless asset to the successful operation of Stella! Mr. and Mrs. Boswell opened their second restaurant Stanley in historical Jackson Square in December 2008.
Chef de Cuisine
Jason Byl was born in South Carolina to native New Orleanian parents who had moved there just before his birth. After high school, Jason pursued his love of cooking by moving to Portland, Oregon to attend Western Culinary Institute, an affiliate of the highly esteemed Le Cordon Bleu. While there, he started at Carafe, a local restaurant, and under the tutelage of his mentor, owner Pascal Sauton , he advanced to the position of Sous Chef. It was his time under Sauton that taught him the fundamentals of French
seasonal cuisine. After four and a half years, and a internship in San Francisco, Jason left Carafe to expand his knowledge of other cooking styles.
At Castagna, another well-respected restaurant in the North West, he worked under Justin Woodward and Matt Lightner , whose restaurant Atera has earned two Michelin stars. Jason spent two years at Castagna, once again earning the title of Sous Chef. It was here that he learned a more progressive, ingredient focused style of cooking. After living across the country for the better part of a decade, Jason decided it was time to move back to New Orleans to be near his family and to the place that he truly considered home.
Weighing his options as to what restaurant would be the best fit – he chose Stella! feeling that it was the most innovative and unique restaurant in the city. He began at Stella! in April 2012, as saucier, although his talents were almost immediately recognized, and he was moved to the position of Sous Chef two weeks later. He took over as Chef de Cuisine at the end of August 2012, where his influence on the menu can be seen in the progressive, ingredient-focused cuisine style that he learned and perfected from his time on the West Coast.
Pastry Chef
Blake grew up in Hammond, Louisiana before he moved in 2006 to attend The Culinary Institute of America in Hyde Park, New York. He secured an internship through his school at the 3 Michelin-starred Jean Georges in NYC. He credits his time there as what truly sparked his interest in modern fine dining desserts. Executive Pastry Chef Johnny Iuzzini taught him the fundamentals of modern pastry and encouraged him to explore his creativity. Blake was hired on at Jean Georges as a pastry cook after graduation where he remained for 3 years. He next took a 6 month hiatus from the restaurant world to learn how to make proper rustic Italian breads at Jim Lahey's Sullivan Street Bakery. In 2010, Blake was hired on as the pastry Chef de Partie at Paul Liebrandt's 2 Michelin starred Corton in TriBeCa. Blake had dinner at Corton shortly after it had opened 2 years prior and it was easily one of the best meals of his life. He made a mental note that if a position ever became available he would drop what he was doing to work there. In 6 months, Blake had revamped the bread program and was promoted to pastry Sous Chef under Food and Wine's Best New Pastry Chef 2012, Shawn Gawle. Blake took an active role in creative menu development. When Gawle left Corton in September 2012, Blake was promoted to Executive Pastry Chef. His time at Corton taught Blake about elegance and focus. Chef Liebrandt taught Blake how to refine and edit his dishes by always asking "what story are you trying to tell?" or "what purpose is this ingredient serving?".
In the summer of 2013, Blake decided to move back home. He had accomplished the goals he set for himself in NYC and thought it was time to take what he had learned back to Louisiana. He enthusiastically joined the team at Stella in November of that year.
Blake composes his desserts with a deft hand using subtle flavors to accent and highlight seasonal ingredients in his dishes. He enjoys taking classic flavor combinations and presenting them in modern and light preparations that are as beautiful as they are delicious.
Manager & Private Event Coordinator
Born and raised in France to an American mother and a French father, Eugénie Mercier first discovered her passion for fine dining at the age of 17, waiting tables in a small crêperie in Chantilly, a town in the north of Paris.
After high school Eugénie decided to pursue her passion and attend culinary school in the North of France. It was there she learned to cook traditional French cuisine and was trained in fine dining service.
Eugénie combined this love of food and knowledge with her love of global travel and began her professional career by traveling to Bangkok, Thailand to work as a chef. From there, she moved to the Caribbean to work as a concierge in several luxury villas in St. Martin. Continuing her global travels and further enhancing her international experience, she went on to Brisbane, Australia and worked as an assistant manager in a french fine dining restaurant "C'est Bon" . After experiencing different cultures, Eugénie decided to return to France, taking a management position at the Château Hôtel Mont Royal. This allowed Eugénie to go back to her roots and the French "savoir faire."
In September 2011, Eugénie was given the great opportunity to move to New Orleans to take a management position at Stella restaurant, working alongside the famous Louisiana chef , Scott Boswell. The combination of her love of the city along with the adventures and challenges of the position, have grounded Eugénie's wandering feet. New Orleans is home!
Stella is one of a kind and Eugénie is proud to be part of such a vibrant, unique, and welcoming environment.
Manager & Sommelier
Alexandra Minton was born on the Mississippi Gulf Coast, and, at the age of three, found her new playpen to be that of a restaurant dining room when her parents opened a small po-boy shop in Ocean Springs. Literally growing up among the hustle and bustle of a busy restaurant created in Alexandra a great love and appreciation for the industry that would remain with her throughout her life.
While pursuing a music degree at the University of Southern Mississippi, Alexandra played percussion professionally with numerous orchestras across the Southeast, but, in the hopes of maintaining a more consistent income, she began working at Robert St. John's Purple Parrot Café in Hattiesburg. Taking her back to her roots, restaurant work was a natural fit. Finding herself spending more time reading about Chablis than Chopin and realizing her passion for food and wine, Alexandra began to focus more seriously on a career in the hospitality industry. Working at the Purple Parrot gave Alexandra the opportunity to work with an award-winning wine list and hone her skills on the dining room floor in an environment where hospitality was the driving force of service.
Eventually, Alexandra finished her music studies and, five years, one music degree, and hours of secret Court of Master Sommeliers studying later, Alexandra accepted a position as Manager and Sommelier at the Purple Parrot Café. There, she focused on creating incredible guest experiences, recognizing that the measure of a good restaurant lies far beyond delicious food and wine. The Purple Parrot's attention to service only deepened her devotion to and love for the industry, and there she worked for over four years.
Alexandra returns to the South to join the management team at Stella! after a brief stint as sommelier at The Lion Restaurant in New York. She is excited to be in an environment that inspires, pushes boundaries, and promises to provide a backdrop for the continual pursuit of excellence in hospitality.

On Monday, May 24, rural Lincoln residents came to help Placer County Fire firefighters and members of the Placer County Board of Supervisors dedicate a new fire station which is expected to enhance fire protection in rural Lincoln.
"This facility is located absolutely where it needs to be," noted CAL FIRE Ranger Unit Chief Brad Harris.
Placer County purchased the five-acre parcel located at Eden Lane and Wise Road for a new fire station. The existing 1,800 square foot modular home was remodeled to become an office in which to meet with the public and crew quarters. The barn was modified to become the bay in which the fire engine is now parked.
The decision to remodel the barn and home versus building new buildings saved county taxpayers about $5 million in construction costs, and cost about $1 million in total.
"I have nothing but thanks to the Board of Supervisors for being so proactive and for being such good stewards of the public's funds," Chief Harris said.
District 2 Supervisor Robert Weygandt, who grew up in the area and now represents rural Lincoln on the Board of Supervisors, said the new station "is good for my neighborhood and good for all of us."
Fire prevention and protection in those areas of Placer County such as rural Lincoln which are not served by independent fire protection districts or municipal fire departments is provided by a combination of a contract with CAL FIRE and six volunteer fire companies, all operated and administered by Placer County and CAL FIRE under the name "Placer County Fire."
"The partnership between Placer County and CAL FIRE "provides great value to taxpayers – it's a great partnership," Supervisor Weygandt stressed.
In addition to the improved location, living and working conditions for fire personnel will improve significantly at the new station. On Oak Tree Lane, crews had lived in a 40-year-old trailer onsite with a leaky roof and a failing septic system.
"The new location will greatly enhance our ability to protect lives, property and the environment. The Gladding Fire in September of 2008 could have been a catastrophic event but for the strenuous efforts of Placer County Fire and its partnering agencies," Supervisor Weygandt had stressed earlier.

Sri Lanka
Published on 01/04/14
Sri Lanka
Before I visited Sri Lanka I didn't expect how diverse and beautiful this country is. Sri Lanka is an island country in the Indian Ocean. This country has a lot to offer: amazing beaches, ancient temples, elephants, mountains and of course tea plantations. I spent there only one week, which definitely wasn't enough, but now I've got a good reason to go back ;-). This month I present you the first gallery from Central Province. In a few months I'll publish the second gallery from West Coast. So please visit my website regularly!See gallery

Major Cognitive Decline of 19 Years Linked to High Fat, High Copper DietPosted: Wednesday, August 23, 2006
A diet high in saturated and trans fats, coupled with a high intake of copper may be associated with a significantly accelerated rate of cognitive decline in older adults, a new study suggests.
Researchers at Rush University Medical Center in Chicago found high amounts of dietary saturated and trans fats and total copper intake of 1.6 mg/day or more had an impact on an individual's cognitive function that was the equivalent of adding 19 years to their age.principal investigator Martha Clare Morris, ScD stated that, "We didn't find copper was harmful at all in people who did not have this high-fat diet. But the combination of the two had a significant detrimental effect,".
Previous research has shown a 2- to 3-fold increased risk for Alzheimer's Disease and cognitive decline in individuals whose diets are high in saturated and trans fats and low in unhydrogenated unsaturated fats.
However, said Dr. Morris, an "accidental" discovery in a previous animal study conducted by Dr. D. Larry Sparks revealed that among rabbits who were on a hypercholesterolemic diet those who drank distilled water with trace amounts of copper had an accelerated decline in memory function compared with rabbits who drank distilled water only. Furthermore, at autopsy, there was substantial accumulation of amyloid beta plaques in the brains of rabbits that drank the distilled plus copper water.
These findings, said Dr. Morris, led her to examine whether high copper consumption in conjunction with a diet high in saturated and trans fats increases the risk for cognitive decline in humans.
Participants from the Chicago Health and Aging Project (CHAP), a large ongoing community-based study of more than 9000 adults aged 65 years and older were included in the study. All subjects underwent cognitive testing and completed a food frequency questionnaire (FFQ) that included questions about vitamin supplementation 1 year after baseline. In addition to copper, the investigators also looked at the potential detrimental effects of zinc and iron intake.
Reassessments of cognitive function were conducted at 3- and 6-year follow-up interviews.
The final analysis included 3718 persons with a median follow-up of 5.5 years. Not surprisingly, the investigators found that on average cognitive abilities declined with age. However, among the 604 (16.2%) individuals with the highest intake of saturated and trans fats, cognitive function deteriorated more rapidly with higher copper consumption.
According to the study, there was a 143% increase in the rate of decline among persons on high-fat diets in the highest quintile of total copper intake compared with those in the lowest quintile. But, Dr. Morris said, there was no association between cognitive decline and copper intake among those with a low consumption of saturated and trans fats.
In addition, Dr. Morris said, cognitive decline was observed among subjects in the high-fat group who also took vitamin supplements containing copper compared with nonsupplement users.
"We're at a very early stage in this research, but this study gives us one more reason to limit the intake of saturated and trans fats," said Dr. Morris.

Dougherty was born Dec. 24, 1925, to George T. and Alice (Phillips) Dougherty of Montrose, Colorado. He enlisted in the U.S. Army and served from 1945 to 1958, first in occupied Japan, then in Germany, where he met his future wife, Erna. They were married in 1956. (Erna Dougherty died Apr. 20, 2002.)
After his military service, Art and Erna moved back to Montrose, where he worked for the Montrose County Sheriff's Office before being elected sheriff of Ouray County.
Current Ouray Sheriff Junior Mattivi recalled one story that he said would stay with him. "It was the Fourth of July, or getting near the Fourth of July, and the Hell's Angels [motorcycle gang] were supposed to be coming to town. Art decided he was going to take his fishing vacation anyway. He loved to fish. The Angels didn't come.
"That's what Ouray County was like then. And that's what Art was like. Not everything was life-and-death. He got the job done. He was easy going. He was fair. That's what I've always taken from him. He treated everybody the same.
"His words of wisdom to me when I was first running for office: Just wave to everybody."
Dougherty was buried with military honors at Cedar Cemetery in Montrose.
He was a life member of D.A.V., V.F.W. and Ouray Elks Lodge #492.
He leaves, besides many friends, one daughter, two grandchildren and three great-grandchildren.

The bad boy of Southeastern Conference basketball was suspended Wednesday — again — for a violation of team rules. Curiosity is actually high on the details.
Henderson's first response came via Twitter two hours before the news broke. It simply said, "This will be an interesting #whitegirlwednesday." Nice.
Trouble is nothing new for the rising fifth-year senior, his first coming as freshman at Utah State when he punched a teammate during a game. That came a year after it was reported Henderson was arrested for buying $800 worth of marijuana with counterfeit money. He later served 25 days in jail for violating his probation, testing positive for alcohol, marijuana and cocaine.
Not to be ignored, Henderson also has a lot of talent. He rains 3s at will, but he sets the standard for being a tool, as well. Despite his on-court antics — like throwing ice at the Ole Miss crowd — only upsetting fans, his off-the-court habits are enough that should end his career.
At a certain point, Henderson has to at least try to be a role model of some sort. If not, Henderson will find himself like Titus Young … not an athlete at all.

7237 SW Bridgeport Rd, Portland, OR | Directions 9722445.395669 -122.750274
Exploding with great flavor! – I was pretty impressed with my ginger/garlic/chili/chicken/prawns meal. It was one of the most flavorful and pretty dishes I've had in a while, and it left me completely full. I like all the fresh veggies and other ingredients. Even the garnishes are fresh. I tried the tofu fries appetizer. Not bad, but definitely not 'yum' like the other stuff I tried. My waitress was quick and all smiles. Will go back again!
Consistent quality, always friendly – My wife and I like going to Zao on a regular basis. After 30+ visits, we've never had a bad experience. Wait staff remember us, which makes it even more pleasant to return.
The food is great, too. We have our favorite dishes but we try new things once in a while. No disappointments yet.
I love the specialty teas in the iron pots. Pretty expensive, but really tasty.
Super Yummy and Affordable – I can't believe the mediocre ratings on this place! The food is ten times better than PF Changs! (Although Zao is Asian fusion so I don't know if it's a reasonable comparison.) I was so excited when we moved here and found Zao because this was one of my favorite places to eat in Palo Alto (I believe there are 3-4 locations?) And the prices are very reasonable- about $10-15 per person depending on if you order extras or just an entree. Although if two people share an entree and an appetizer it would end up being more like $8 per person. (We often get food to go so for two of us to eat really well it's around 20-25 bucks.)
They have a unique selection of dishes and they use lots of fresh veggies and tasty sauces. One of my favorite dishes is the chicken in lemongrass coconut broth soup.You can request it with seared tofu instead. It's rich and creamy and spicy and very satisfying on a cold day. The other BEST dish is not even on the menu- it's the Kung Pao Chicken but we always get it with the fat noodles (instead of rice as is shown on the menu) and it's fantastic- I HIGHLY recommend it.
The veggie summer rolls are another favorite- very light and fresh with a tasty sauce. They use a bit of fresh mint which is really yummy.
Don't let the other reviewers dissuade you- Zao is awesome! Try it and make up your own mind.
Great atmosphere – My boyfriend and i visit Zao regualrly. Usually rushing off to catch a show or go to an event in portland we stop in at Zao. We can always count on excellent service and food. Our favorite dish would have to be Kung Pao chicken, with shanghi noodles, its very spicy and fills you right up. The portions are large and colorful, making your experiance extra special, especially on a sunny day sitting outside , enjoying the sites and sounds of Bridge port village. We actually prefer Zao over PF changs across the way, the dark and crowded atmosphere is much to overwhelming. Pricing is very reasonable and they have a large menu.
The sights, sounds and smells of fast-paced Asian cuisine draw customers to this popular bistro. – In Short
With rich yellow walls and a bright red floor, this restaurant itself is as colorful as the food it serves. Best known for signature items like spicy vegetable and black bean tofu stir fried with noodles, chefs draw inspiration from Vietnamese, Japanese, Chinese and Thai cuisine. Distinctive sauces in exotic flavors, including ginger-garlic-chili, soy-lime and coconut-chili-lemongrass, spice up fresh vegetable and meat noodle dishes. Non-noodle items, including salads and entrees with rice, are also available.
Rude Server – I went to Zao last night for dinner. Everything was great until a server (not ours) came over to us and asked if we could leave so he could "turn" his table. Apparently we had been sitting there too long after we paid our bill, and since this was the way he made his money, and he was broke, he asked if we would go. Now, keep in mind the restaurant had just started to fill up, there were a couple empty tables, and no wait yet. He did tell us if we sat at their bar he'd get us a drink, but at that point we were too embarrassed to stay. Having worked as a server for 6 years, I understand the frustration of having a table who just sits there. Happened to me a hundred times, but never would I have asked one of my customers to leave so I could make more money. It's tacky, rude and bad for business. I used to love this place, but I will never go back.
Good Place for a quick lunch – Good place for a not too expensive lunch. My soba seemed unusually thick, but tastey all the same. I was somewhat surprised that a place that calls itself a noodle bar didn't have a wider range of noodle types (but i could just be picky) The atmosphere was nice and the service was adequate. I also tried one of the ginger drinks (can't remember if mine was the lemonade or the orange one, but tried both)...too much ginger, be prepared, you do need to have a love of ginger. Anyway, good place for a quick lunch.

Photosensitivity and Seizures
Epilepsy affects more than three million Americans. For about 3 percent of them, exposure to flashing lights at certain intensities or to certain visual patterns can trigger seizures. This condition is known as photosensitive epilepsy.
Photosensitive epilepsy is more common in children and adolescents, especially those with generalized epilepsy, in particular juvenile myoclonic epilepsy. It becomes less frequent with age, with relatively few cases in the mid twenties.
Examples of Triggers
Seizures in photosensitive people may be triggered by exposure to television screens due to the flicker or rolling images, to computer monitors, to certain video games or TV broadcasts containing rapid flashes or alternating patterns of different colors, and to intense strobe lights like visual fire alarms.
Not all televisions, video games, computer monitors, and strobe lights trigger seizures, however. Even in predisposed individuals, many factors must combine to trigger the photosensitive reaction.
The likelihood of such conditions combining to trigger a seizure is small. However, to be safe, photosensitive individuals are advised to keep at a distance from TV screens and to place other lights in the surrounding area to lower the contrast between the brightness on the screen and the background. These conditions protect the viewer and are easy to obtain during TV viewing but not while playing video games or when randomly exposed to strong environmental lights. Therefore, other protective devices or strategies may be needed.
Check with your doctor if you are concerned about flashing lights triggering seizures. Chances are that your medical records will indicate how you responded to flashing lights during the electroencephalogram (EEG), a test done routinely in most people with epilepsy. During this test, sensors are attached to the patient's scalp to monitor the electrical activity of the brain in various conditions, including light stimulation generated by a strobe positioned in front of the eyes. An abnormal response when the patient is exposed to various frequencies of flashing lights indicates the presence of photosensitivity. If you have not been diagnosed with epilepsy or have not had this type of test, ask your doctor about ordering one for you, or consult a local neurologist.
If you are diagnosed with photosensitive epilepsy, your doctor may prescribe medication and suggest that you:
Visual Fire Alarm Strobe Lights
Under the Americans with Disabilities Act, most workplaces and places serving the public, including theaters, restaurants, and recreation areas, are required to have fire alarms, which flash as well as ring so that people who cannot hear or cannot hear well will know that there is an emergency.
To reduce the likelihood of the strobe light triggering a seizure, the Epilepsy Foundation's professional advisory board recommends that
Television Screens
Computer Monitors
Exposure to Strong Environmental Lights
