The time may have come for the Ottawa Senators to start thinking about their future. Ottawa now has five straight losses and sit at the very bottom of the Eastern Conference standings. Their consecutive run of making the playoffs is in serious jeopardy at eleven years.
The problem hasn't been with the special teams; the Sens are tied for the fifth lowest power play goals allowed and they have scored the eighth most power play goals in the league. The trouble is that they are the lowest scoring team in the league when five on five.
Once again, scoring outside the top line is a major problem. Mike Fisher is an excellent two-way second line player, but he's often injured and can't do it by himself. Antoine Vermette and Chris Kelly have been ineffective and are not the answer.
The rumoured attempts of trading for Matthias Ohlund would just be delaying the inevitable; this team is going nowhere even if they qualify for the playoffs. It might be better to realize this now and maybe even secure a lottery pick in an effort to snag a top pick in the entry draft. Getting a talented youngster to build on Heatley (27), Alfredsson (35) and/or Spezza (25) would only benefit the Senators future.
There is still plenty of time to turn it around for the Senators. One hot streak and they will be back in playoff contention, but is that really the best thing for the franchise? No doubt Spezza, Heatley and Alfredsson are just slumping right now and will surely break out of it in a big way soon, but that's really missing the big picture. The long-term prognosis for the franchise is not flattering. This dysfunctional group needs to be stripped down and rebuilt with some new key components. This group's time has passed.
The Senators have some high-end talent, but what they really need is a better supporting cast. In 2005-06 (52 wins 113 points), the Senators defence consisted of Chara, Redden, Meszaros, Phillips, Volchenkov, Pothier and Schubert. The following year (48 wins, 105 points), they fielded Redden, Corvo, Preissing, Meszaros, Phillips, Volchenkov and Schubert. Last year (43 wins 94 points – see a trend here?), they lost Preissing and traded Corvo during the season, ineffectively replacing them with Schubert and Luke Richardson.
Detroit General Manager Ken Holland believes a puck moving defence is his team's top priority and that's where he chooses to spend a good chunk of Mr. Ilitch's dough. This season, Ottawa's top defender has been Filip Kuba. There's no denying that he's off to a great start and will most certainly set a career high in points this season, but are you really comfortable building around a 31-year-old whose best season to date is 37 points? Phillips and Volchenkov are still very strong defenders, but after those three come Picard, Jason Smith and Luke Richardson. They are an average group at best. If it means they can't afford their big three forwards and a top defenseman, then one of the big three must go.
Not many teams have the luxury of a goalie like Luongo, Brodeur or Lundqvist, but with a strong defence and defensively conscious forwards playing in a responsible system, all you need is a goalie that can be counted on to make key stops at crucial times.
Ottawa's goaltending situation is unsettled at best. Auld has been decent, but Gerber's confidence has to be shattered. The real question is, can the player's trust Auld come playoff time? If the answer is no, then you must go out and get someone that inspires confidence. I think Auld has the ability to be that guy if the team shores up its defensive shortcomings.
It could be a quick rebuild if done smartly, a short pause to grab a top young talent. Ottawa needs to sort out the situation in goal and acquire a top puck moving defenseman. Pending unrestricted free agent, Jay.Bouwmeester readily comes to mind and combined with Kuba, Phillips and Volchenkov, that might be sufficient if some of the young talent is able to step it up.
On the farm, forwards Ilya Zubov (13-8-10-18) and Zack Smith (16-9-5-14) along with defensemen Brendan Bell (15-6-9-15) and Mattias Karlsson (16-2-8-10) show potential. Brian Elliott is in his second year as an AHL starter and the numbers look promising. He could play second fiddle next season if Ottawa was to settle their goaltending situation.
Word on the Streit
Who misses whom more, Mark Streit or the Montreal Canadiens? Montreal had last year's number one power play and are now sitting 26th with a 14.6% success rate, while the Islanders power play has improved slightly from 29th to 25th overall. Streit has 12 points in 18 games, six of them coming with the man advantage. Many thought Streit would struggle as a full-time defenseman, but he's only minus-2 and has logged the ninth most ice time in the NHL with an average of 25:53 each game, including over six minutes on the power play.
It is Better to Taketh Away than to Giveth Away
At the top of the takeaway list is Rick Nash (25), followed by Mike Richards (23) and Markus Naslund (21). The three worst offenders in the giveaway category are all offensive defensemen; Andrei Markov (27), Mike Green (25) and Scott Niedermayer (22), now who would have thought that?
Three of Florida's top defensemen have a very bad giveaway/takeaway ratio. Keith Ballard, Nick Boynton and Jay Bouwmeester have combined for fifty giveaways and only seven takeaways. So does this mean they are bad defensemen? No, but it is likely a key contributor to the Panthers having the second most shots against in the league with an average of 35.1 per game. Luckily for them, Craig Anderson is second in the league with a 0.940 save percentage. Tomas Vokoun has "struggled" with only a 0.916 save percentage!
While Semin and Ovechkin lead the league at plus-17 each, Brind'Amour's minus-13 is the second worst plus/minus in the league, behind only Brad Boyes.
Milan a Hit in Boston
Pens defenseman Brooks Orpik leads the NHL's hit parade with 71 official hits. He's followed by Boston's Milan Lucic (69) and Kings Captain Dustin Brown (61). Be careful not to overrate Lucic in one year points pools, much of the hype is from his physical play, not high-end offensive ability. Of Lucic's 11 points, six of them have come in two games. Over his last five games, he is averaging only 14:55 of ice time per game.
The comparisons to Cam Neely are a bit premature. Lucic may come close eventually, but he has never shown the same goal scoring ability that Cam Neely had. A quick look back to their two years in major junior (at the same age); Neely averaged 1.7 points per game versus 0.66 for Lucic. It still took Neely four seasons to reach nearly a point a game in the NHL.

So the guy in this picture is my son making one of his funny faces. It's summer and both he and my daughter, Theresa, are doing the summer camp thing again. They're having fun, and making new friends; a good time to be a kid.
I got a call from his Mom saying Charlie wanted to take me to lunch the other day. WOW! This was one of those moments...MY Son wanted to take ME to lunch?!?! Rock on!
I picked him up from Lego-Camp and we loaded into my car. "So, where would you like to go to lunch, Char?", I asked.
"I want to take you to that Tastey Experts place where your favorite sandwhich is, " he said.
"You mean Taste Unlimited?", I said.
"Yeah, THAT place...I know you like that one sandwich over there", he said with a smile.
Twice I offered to pay, but, Charlie was insistent. "This is on ME, Dad", So, I let the man do as he had wished. There's a lot more to this story...and after I dropped him off, my eyes got really misty as I felt that bucking of a good cry coming on...but, that part needs to wait. I have a full day ahead and the last thing I need is to be walking around with red eyes, so, you'll have to come back for that part of the story. :)
I love my kids dearly...and this was a first...and I'll tell you why, shortly.

Women's Tennis Set for Fall Campaign
Tuesday, September 07, 2010
A young Valparaiso University women's tennis team will take to the courts this fall on six different dates as the Crusaders begin to build for their spring championship season.
Head coach Traci Young returns five players from last year's squad and has added the addition of a pair of talented freshmen who will look to break into the lineup during their rookie season.
Led by just one senior and two juniors, the Crusaders will rely on the underclassmen to play a key role in this season's success. Jackie O'Reilly, the team's lone senior, played at the fifth spot for the Brown and Gold during her junior season and led Valpo in both singles and doubles victories. She will be called upon again to play an instrumental role in the lineup this year.
Juniors Katie Bilyeu and Stephanie York both have had solid starts to their collegiate careers as well. Bilyeu played at the third stop last year, but played as high as number two singles as a freshman, and will ago play towards the top of the order this season. York played at fourth singles for the Brown and Gold a year ago. She shared the team's top honors in doubles victories in 2009-2010 as well with O'Reilly.
Brittany O'Reilly, a sophomore, played near the top of the lineup in her rookie season with the Crusaders and will look to lead Valpo again this year. She played three matches at the top spot while playing mostly at number two singles as a freshman. The other sophomore on the roster, Stephanie Krebs, got a taste of collegiate tennis in her first year, playing in five dual matches, three of which were at number six singles. She also competed in one tournament for Valpo as a freshman.
Freshmen Shea Hennessy and Kristin Zakiewicz both look to break into the lineup this season for the Crusaders. Hennessy played for four seasons at Marist High School in Palos Park, Ill. Zakiewicz was a four time All-Northern Lakes Conference selection at Northridge High School in Bristol, Ind., and was the conference champion as a senior.
The Crusaders will host Goshen in a dual match on Sept. 8 to begin the fall season before heading to the River Forest Tournament on Sept. 17 and 18. Valpo will host an alumni tournament on Sept. 25 in conjunction with Homecoming weekend before heading to tournaments at IPFW and Western Illinois the following two weekends. The fall schedule will conclude Oct. 16 with a dual match at Robert Morris (Ill.).

(1971) In summer following the May '68 chaos, Etaix shot the French en vacances — vérité style — with asynchronous voiceovers and on-camera opinionating about the moon landing, violence, advertising, eroticism, and amateur singing in a surprisingly biting change of pace. Approx. 74 min. 35mm.
"A deftly discerning documentary. The surprisingly sharp topics that arise in interviews include eroticism, poverty, mediatized violence, gender equality, gay marriage, the power of advertising, and the deformation of minds and manners by television. Looking askance at modern urban architecture, Etaix critiques bureaucratic regimentation and its grasp on art as well as on commerce. The concluding sequence—an inquiry into the public image of one Pierre Etaix—has a disarming reflexive loopiness, holding up mirrors to mirrors and sending the viewer off in free fall."

Daily Joke
There was a religious woman who had to do a lot of traveling for her business. Flying made her very nervous, so she always took her Bible along with her.
One time, she was sitting next to a man. When he saw her pull out her Bible, he gave a little chuckle and smirk and went back to what he was doing.
After awhile, he turned to her and asked, "You don't really believe all that stuff in there do you?"
The woman replied, "Of course I do. It is the Bible."
He said, "Well, what about that guy that was swallowed by that whale?"
She replied, "Oh, Jonah. Yes, I believe that, it is in the Bible."
He asked, "Well, how do you suppose he survived all that time inside the whale?"
The woman said, "Well, I don't really know. I guess when I get to heaven, I will ask him."
"What if he isn't in heaven?" the man asked sarcastically.
"Then you can ask him," replied the woman.
BAD JOKE DISCLAIMER: We recognize that religious humor can be risky. It is our hope that by laughing at ourselves (and others) we can make this subject more approachable. If you find any of these objectionable, we apologize. As with most jokes, the original authors are unknown - but we thank them.

Marty Simpson doesn't look like an All-American Football Player, a sports radio talk show host, or the only white guy selected to appear on a BET comedy special. Let's be honest, he looks like Dr. Phil's heavier brother. Yet, he's all of these things. Plus, Marty is a stand up comedian who has quickly garnered national recognition after becoming the winner of the 2012 Clean Comedy Challenge. Since that time, you may have seen Marty opening for Saturday Night Live's Dennis Miller (if you were at that one show, that one night), Tim Hawkins, Pauly Shore, and Last Comic Standing Winners, Jon Reep and John Heffron.
Today, you can see Marty's comedic work on a series of successful online videos including the "Domination" series about his beloved South Carolina Gamecocks or the very cool "Pregnidgerator" infauxmercial.
Marty stays busy at live standup shows throughout North America and has performed in venues from the 3 thousand seat Durham Performing Arts Center, to Atlanta's Uptown Comedy Corner, all the way to Los Angeles' Flappers Comedy Club. Marty's performance venues include clubs, churches, fund-raisers, festivals, corporate functions, and the occasional rock'n roll tour. Marty's updates on Facebook, Twitter, and Youtube keep his fans and two or three of his friends laughing everyday. Follow him on twitter @MartySimpson or find his other social media sites at the top of this web page.
Marty's act is filled with antics and adventures from his real life. Nothing is off limits. His wife, his kids, his dogs, his style of worship, his former college football playing days with the Gamecocks, and his awkward relationships with his African-American friends, all get discussed on stage.

Ron Paul supporters question RNC delegate rule changesFargo-Moorhead (WDAY TV) - Local Supporters of Ron Paul are watching the proceedings closely. They are afraid that delegate rule changes will prohibit future grass roots candidates.
Fargo-Moorhead (WDAY TV) - Local Supporters of Ron Paul are watching the proceedings closely. They are afraid that delegate rule changes will prohibit future grass roots candidates.
Don Worcester – Ron Paul Supporter: "This is going to be a top down decision so if you've got a different view and you come through your local caucus in your state and your delegates are chosen and the national committee doesn't agree with those delegates, they can override it."
At the convention today those new rules went through.
Don Worcester: "Say Romey wins the presidential election; In 2016 if this passes or this goes through the rules committee, basically Mitt gets to choose all 50 states what delegates he wants."
A compromise was made, though, to allow states with caucuses to keep them as opposed to making every state a primary
David Hallman – Chair, Clay County Republican Party: "I think the caucus is a fair system, however it's many times not representative of what the people want."
So the unanswered question will be whether Ron Paul supporter that felt slighted will turn out for Mitt Romney in November.
David Hallman: "All activists are opinionated. We go down there, we argue, we fight, we get done, we get our self on one thing and we hug and we go out there and elect our candidates that's what we do."
From Worcester that support may not be so solid.
Don Worcester: "The Romney campaign needs to understand fully that without Ron Paul's base support it's going to be tough come November."
Of Minnesota's 40 delegates, 33 voted for Paul Tuesday, while 5 of North Dakota's 28 voted for the Texas Congressman.

The turbocharger in the Cayenne Diesel features Variable Turbine Geometry (VTG). The gas-flow from the engine is channelled onto the turbines via electronically adjustable guide vanes. By changing the vane angle, the system can replicate the geometry in all types of turbo, large or small, and thus achieve the optimum gas-flow characteristics. As a result, even at low engine rpm, the turbine speed is maximised. For a significant increase in boost pressure, excellent cylinder charging plus greater power and torque.

Expansion of east side of Memorial Stadium will give MU football fans 'a better experience'
Missouri executive associate athletic director Tim Hickman provided a guided tour of the Memorial Stadium east-side expansion, which he said is on budget and expected to be finished on time before the 2014 football season commences.
"It's exciting," Hickman said. "We number of goals in doing this project. Obviously, getting new premium seating and better amenities for our fans, those were primary, but also to add some stature and some grandeur to the stadium. I think we've done some of that too. It gives the stadium some more presence and overall will provide a better experience."
Hickman said season-ticket sales have gone well — "We've made enough to cover our mortgage," he joked during the tour — and that Missouri was thrilled with the project's scope and pace.

Youth Employment Initiative and the European Social Fund - ESF thematic paper (31/03/2014)
This thematic paper provides an overview of the European Social Fund's track record in supporting initiatives for combatting youth unemployment and its potential to provide further and better targeted support to young people in the 2014-20 programming period. The brochure furthermore details the legal context, functioning and objectives of the newly launched Youth Employment Initiative which represents substantial dedicated funding to support Member State policies to combat youth unemployment.
Info graphic: Transparent and effective public services (07/02/2014)
Reducing regulatory and administrative burdens and promoting high standards of transparency, efficency and accountability in public administration helps to increase productivity, strengthen competitiveness and ultimately, create jobs. The European Social Fund (ESF) is a concrete European contribution to national policy reforms in the area of public administration and good governance.
Promoting inclusive growth - ESF thematic paper (31/01/2014)
The changing economic and social climate over the past years has caused a rethink of policies governing the labour market, social inclusion and education. The current emphasis is on anti-crisis, short-term measures aimed at limiting unemployment and reigning in social disparities. Nonetheless, the number of people at risk of poverty or social exclusion in the EU now accounts for nearly one-fourth of the EU population. The European Social Fund is playing a key role in helping Member States increase employment and skills by training their work force, reducing poverty and cut across bottle-necks in the job market by reforming education and training systems and boosting worker mobility.
The European code of conduct on partnership (29/01/2014)
Partnership, one of the key principles of the management of European Union funds, implies close cooperation between public authorities at national, regional and local levels in the Member States and with social partners, NGOs and other relevant stakeholders.
Promoting good governance - ESF thematic paper (29/01/2014)
A well run public administration system benefits people and business. The ongoing economic challenges mean less money is available for administrative activities: but good governance and legal certainty is central to economic growth. Through support to organisational and technological innovation via improvement of systems, structures and processes, human resources and service delivery, the European Social Fund is helping administrations across the EU rise to the challenge.

Jill Stuart - New York Fall 2009
View Gallery
(NEW YORK) Set against the hallowed backdrop of the New York Public Library, Jill Stuart's fall collection was more studied this time around--albeit just as girlish and ruffled as seasons past. She opened her show with layered black dresses dripping with lace and shredded yarns, which tempered the sweetness of the purple chiffons and satin trousers of subsequent looks. But don't think that the Jill Stuart girl has gone completely tough: in a move to perhaps avoid a wardrobe malfunction, Jill made sure her models were wearing undergarmets--even if that meant they were entirely visible under her ethereal, sheer pieces.

Last Saturday one of the members of our team, Feargal, set off on a six-day adventure in aid of a very, very good cause - the Special Olympics and other charities. Covering over 100km a day, so far they have passed through Orange, Aix-en Province and tackled a 3,000m climb up the Mont Ventoux route. Still to come are cycles to Draguignan before it all comes to an end in Nice.
So far the team (there are 22 people cycling in total) have raised over €205,000! But they're not content with that. They're hoping to raise even more. To do this, they need your help.
Is this something you would like to do yourself? Maybe not even for six days, but just one day? In cities all over the world you can book yourself on to cycle tours.
While the team are really testing their physical stamina, the French countryside, as you can see from the photos, are making the journey that little bit easier.
In our hostelworld.com travel blog we bring you all the latest company news and information on new additions to the site including podcasts, videos and more. You'll also get inside information on a variety of destinations across the globe as they're visited by our travel editor and writers.

Mr & Mrs Stone, New Zealand who stayed in September 2008
Exceptional and immaculate. Nothing was a problem, even when we were really really late to breakfast.Place is fabulous.You have done a great job. Good luck with your business. Just gorgeous guys.
Bron and Andy O'Brien, New Zealand who stayed in November 2008.
I have had a great time. The history was wonderful. Sorry about my very late arrival on the wednesday morning. Thank you for everything.
Lorraine Raymond from New Zealand, who stayed in January 2009.
The location is excellent and is great value for money. The staff were very friendly and helpful and the room nice and clean. We really liked this hotel and would definitely stay again.
Anthony Solo traveler Taupo, New Zealand September 11, 2010 Booking.com
Little BnB - Free Wifi in all rooms"
I was allowed to check-in early to this place and Bill (Owner I think) met me at the front door and processed my payment efficently. He explained how the breakfast would work and I was able to order in advance as I was going to be back late. He clearly explained how to access the place later on too.
He then took me to my room which was ample in size with a lovely ensuite. The room was very warm and had all the amenities one would need (tea, coffee, milk, kettle, hair-dryer). There was also a desk with appropriate plugs for your laptop / phone.
I walked into Stratford that night and back again and it is a short 15min away. The roads are very well lit and I felt very safe.
I had a lovely breakfast prepared for me in the morning and a lovely pot of coffee to go with it. I just couldn't eat it all!! So ample amounts for all of those hungry people out there. You can choose from eggs, bacon, beans, mushrooms, tomatoes (HOT) - Cereal, fruit, yoghurt (COLD) and much more. There is cold drinks and fresh fruit on the tables to eat as well.
I would highly reccommend
this BnB if you are not only looking for a business stay but a weekend
away as it is lovely and relaxing with great hosts and a warm atmosphere.
I suspect the garden out the back gets put to great use in the summer
months too.

OURAY - A reporter who went to Tuesday's meeting of the Ouray Board of County Commissioners hoping to hear about a resolution to the nearly year-old waste tire saga would have been frustrated. Again.
The commissioners continued, or put off, once again (this time until July 24) a hearing to determine why county resident Lawrence "Butch" Gunn has not complied with the county's Notice and Order to remove waste tires in the thousands from his property on County Road 4.
This time though it wasn't Gunn or his attorney requesting the continuance. It was the new County Attorney, Martha Whitmore, who said, "This is at my request. To allow more discussion on the ongoing settlement talks." Gunn and the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment have been negotiating almost since the "tire flood" itself, when an estimated 1,000 tires washed into the Cow Creek and the Uncompahgre River during a thunderstorm on July 26, 2011. Gunn and members of the Maynes Tire family have removed many of the waste tires from the waterways. But an estimated 4,000 tires remain buried, in violation of county and state regulations, on the Gunn property.
A question came up Tuesday about the statute of limitations. Could Gunn just string the county along until local enforcement authority ran out, a year after the event?
Whitmore said, No, "Mr. Gunn will give us affirmation that they will not infringe on the county's ability to enforce its code."
Commission Chair Heidi Albritton said, "Our desire is to see these negotiations with CDPHE work out. Ultimately, for us it's about the positive resolution of the problem."
Ouray County Attorney Martha Whitmore told this week's regular meeting of the BOCC about her meeting with Brian Wallin, project manager for Cornerstone, the 6,000-acre, partially developed golf community that straddles Ouray and Montrose counties atop the Uncompahgre Plateau.
Cornerstone announced two weeks ago that it was closing the golf course amid ongoing financial and ownership turmoil. Commissioner Lynn Padgett reported that, "There are a lot of fears, a lot of big emotions up there" among the handful of residents, and among neighboring property owners. What does this [closure] mean, if anything, Padgett asked, "as for our development agreement?"
Whitmore quoted Wallin saying that the current owner, Cobalt Companies of Salt Lake City, "has not filed for bankruptcy, but they have closed the golf course, and they have not paid their water bill." She reported that the development's metro district "is still providing water to the residents," and there is "no intent" to change that. Whitmore said Wallin told her there may be two possible buyers for the huge property. One is a property-owners group. The other was "unnamed."
Commission Chair Heidi Albritton asked, "Are there items we should be keeping an eye on? Is there action we should be taking?"
Whitmore was reassuring. Should things deteriorate further with Cornerstone, she said, "I haven't seen anything that puts the burden or responsibility back on the county."
Lynn Padgett briefed her fellow Ouray County Commissioners Tuesday about a "really quick" trip she made to Washington, D.C., as part of a delegation with the National Association of Counties. NACo's primary goal, she said was to encourage passage of Senate Bill 1775, the Public Lands Renewable Energy Act, which would change the way rights-of-way are granted for energy development on public lands, and also includes, Padgett said, a "radical piece – revenue sharing." Under the proposed bill, which is supported by a surprising, bipartisan consortium of development and conservation interests, including Trout Unlimited, 50 percent of the money from rights-of-way leases – a powerline for example, or a solar farm – would go to state and local governments.
"It's a win-win," Padgett said. It's chances of passing? "If not this session, then maybe the next."
While in D.C., she also heard from congressional staffers about very early-stage discussions around federal licensing of Off Highway Vehicles. Law enforcement likes the idea, she was told. And the money could be used to help restore resource damage caused by the machines.
This is a controversial subject locally, with different counties enacting different rules for their use. Commissioner Mike Fedel grumbled about the perceived inequities in Ouray, where electric vehicles, golf carts, are allowed on the highway, "but not my gas-powered ATV.
"I don't see a single upside to this," he commented.
Commissioner Albritton said, "In San Miguel County they don't like ATVs. They don't think children should be anywhere near them. I come from a different culture… ."
Padgett reiterated that the talk she'd heard was just that, talk.
Finally, on Tuesday, commissioners fine-tuned their resolution implementing Stage 2 fire restrictions and the limited fire ban in the unincorporated areas of Ouray County.
Commissioner Albritton commented on the document, which included 10 "Whereas-es" and an equal number of "Therefores," "Only crazy people will read this. How do we get this out where it will do some good?"
Commissioner Padgett pulled up on her laptop screen an example of what Gunnison County had done. "I say we stick it in bullet form, put it on the county website, print it out on one page and distribute it to campgrounds, businesses… ."
All agreed that was the way to get more than just the "crazy people" to see it.

Join the Solid Waste Management and Recycling Educational Series for this free webinar.
May 24, 2012
1:00 -2:30 p.m. ET
The key to an effective working relationship between a contract administrator and a collection contractor is a clearly written and executed contract.

This webinar will also give you each of the speakers' first hand practical experiences on how to more effectively negotiate waste, recycling and composting contracts with haulers. Both speakers have reduced costs and significantly improved diversion rates. The session will also expand on the issues discussed in EPA's March 12, 2012 webinar on Zero Waste Contracting by discussing more about reducing costs while also increasing waste diversion. The webinar is intended for anyone who contracts out their solid waste services, including commercial entities, institutions and governments.

The American Diabetes Association (ADA) and other national health care groups are requesting that the United States government stress fruits and vegetables more strongly in its health care guidelines for Americans. They want the government to bring fruits and vegetables to the "core" of the American diet.
"Americans are suffering from an alarming deficit that results in the dramatic increase of chronic disease," reports Elizabeth Pivnka, PhD, RD, president of the Produce for Better Health Foundation (PBH), a nonprofit organization devoted to increasing fruit and vegetable consumption.
Fruits and vegetables also fight obesity, says Linda Haas, PhC, RN, CDE, president, health care and education for the ADA.
"Even our kids are getting heavier," says Haas, who recently heard that 20 percent of people diagnosed with type 2 diabetes (often linked to obesity) are children.
"We're looking at this campaign as a whole package, including putting exercise back in our schools," reports Haas.
Things like the Food Guide Pyramid will not change, nor have the ADA's nutrition recommendations. "The problem is that the general population isn't following the pyramid," she says.
"If we, as a society, were eating enough fruits and vegetables, we wouldn't be getting heavier."

WARSAW — A tough defensive effort from Warsaw proved too much for Whitko's girls basketball team Friday.
The Lady Wildcats dropped a road contest to the Lady Tigers by a final of 64-42.
The loss snapped a two-game winning streak for the 3-2 Lady Wildcats and was the first win of the year for 1-3 Warsaw.
Warsaw's press wore down Whitko as the game advanced, holding the Lady Wildcats to just 14 second-half points and six in the fourth quarter.
CHURUBUSCO — Though Churubusco opened its boys basketball season with a loss, the Eagles showed a vast improvement from last season's opener against Adams Central.
Last year, Churubusco fell 51-34, the first of its nine-game losing streak to start this season. This year, Adams Central squeaked out the win with an overtime, 3-point, buzzer-beater, winning 58-56.
Eagle Brent Simmons stepped up the the free-throw line with 10 seconds left and 'Busco down two points.
SOUTH WHITLEY — For nearly an entire half, Columbia City's boys basketball team had an advantage it did not exploit in its 49-31 win against Whitko Wednesday.
That advantage was at the tape measure. With three players at 6'5 or more, and Whitko's tallest being 6'3, the conventional wisdom would say that the Eagles would go inside, but that did not happen, at least at first.
"We shot nine 3's in the first half," said Columbia City Boys Basketball Head Coach Chris Benedict. "I mean, you've got to get the ball inside.
It's a little easier to go inside, then out on those 3's."
WHITLEY COUNTY — Before the books close on the month of November, the girls basketball teams of Whitley County will have completed nearly 25 percent of their seasons.
Columbia City
The Lady Eagles are 3-1 and are heading for a Friday game at Fort Wayne North Side.
Columbia City has scored some big wins, avenging losses from last season by beating Marion and Fort Wayne Snider.
It was the first win over Snider in four seasons and the first in two against Marion.
Tuesday, the Lady Eagles lost their first game of the year, falling in overtime to Leo on their home floor in Columbia City.
WHITLEY COUNTY — Boys basketball officially began in Whitley County Wednesday.
In the Columbia City-Whitko rivalry game, the Eagles downed the Wildcats in South Whitley, 49-31.
Churubusco's squad dropped an overtime game to Adams Central, after a last-second 3-pointer at the buzzer to win, 58-56.
At Whitko, Wildcat Dylan Cumberland was the leading scorer, tallying 16 points for the 'Cats. His teammate, Nate Walpole, was Whitko's second-leading scorer.
WHITLEY COUNTY — With one day until Thanksgiving, the boys basketball teams of Whitley County will tip off their 2013-14 seasons tonight.
Columbia City and Whitko will hold their traditional battle, set for the day before Thanksgiving. Churubusco will host Adams Central.
Last season, Columbia City picked up a 69-26 win against Whitko on its way to a 20-4 campaign.
The last time the Wildcats have gotten a win over the Eagles was in November of 2008, when they pulled out a five-point win against Columbia City.
COLUMBIA CITY — A two-sport star at Columbia City will continue her career on the volleyball court at a Big Ten school.
Kalisha Goree, who just finished her senior year as a Lady Eagle, will go on to play volleyball at Ohio State University.
Goree will take her near year-round dedication to volleyball and apply it as a Buckeye, since she also plays club volleyball in addition to her time with Columbia City High School.
Playing at the next level has been a goal on Goree's mind for years.
SOUTH WHITLEY — Whitko's girls basketball team grabbed its first win against a Class 4A team in several seasons Friday against Huntington North.
Paced by 21 points from Aly Reiff, the Lady Wildcats beat the Lady Vikings 57-51.
The last time Whitko beat a Class 4A team was in 2008 against Warsaw.
The 3-1 Lady Wildcats handed Huntington North its first loss, knocking the Lady Vikings to 2-1 on the year.
COLUMBIA CITY — Indian Springs Middle School's four boys basketball teams began their seasons this week with some close games.
The seventh-grade Stars opened their season with an exciting 28-27 win over Milford Middle School Monday.
With three seconds left in the game, tied at 27, Dalton Bell hit the second of two free throws to secure the win for the Stars.
They were led in scoring by Collin Wood with 16 points, followed by John O'Dell's six, Bell's four and Zach Slagal's two points.
GOSHEN — Churubusco's girls basketball team had a rough start to its Northeast Corner Conference schedule for 2013-14.
The Lady Eagles lost at Fairifield, 60-24.
The defeat drops 'Busco to 1-3 on the year, and 0-1 in the conference.
For the Lady Falcons, it was their first game of the season overall, putting them at 1-0 to start the campaign.
Fairfield's Jenny Kiper led all scorers with 24 points overall. Teammate Katie Yates chipped in nine.
Churubusco was led by Shelby Brockman, Alisha Farner and Montanta Martin with six each.

North Georgia Men and Women Claim 9-0 Wins Over Lees McRae

Agents: Valdes won't renew Barca deal
Victor Valdes' Barcelona career is nearing an end after the Spanish goalkeeper's agents informed the club Thursday he will not be extending his contract with the Spanish giants.
"The agents of Victor Valdes have communicated to Barcelona in a meeting held this afternoon the irrevocable decision of the player to not renew his contract," said a statement from his representatives to Spanish national news agency Efe.
Valdes, who has spent his entire professional career at the Nou Camp, is contracted to Barcelona until the end of the 2013-14 season.
The 30-year-old has recently suggested he would consider a move to another league. With former Barcelona coach Pep Guardiola heading to Bayern Munich next season, Valdes may look to become an early target of his old boss.
Valdes has been Barcelona's number one throughout the last decade, winning a host of trophies and earning recognition with Spain, however Real Madrid's Iker Casillas has remained the regular international goalkeeper.

Visit to the Spitalfields Charnel House
When Jane Sidell, Inspector of Ancient Monuments at English Heritage, offered to open the site of the Spitalfields charnel house for CBA London members on Halloween evening, we leapt at the chance. The timing meant that we were only able to inform members on our email list, so sorry to those who weren't aware of it. Those who got the notice were quick to snap up the places though – it booked up in four days and we had a waiting list too.
It was a dark and slightly drizzly night…
Before turning us loose to investigate the building at close quarters, Jane Sidell described the setting and significance of the structural remains of the charnel house. It had been found in the excavations of the medieval Spitalfields monastery and burial grounds around 2000/2001, which had also revealed remains of a Roman cemetery of some 400 graves. The 10,000 medieval burials excavated at Spitalfields had become one of the major research assemblages anywhere in the world. Although a charnel house had been predicted, the extent of the survival was a surprise, as was the rather mysterious construction, which evidently reused a stone Romanesque arch from a much earlier 12th century building, presumably also on the site.
The charnel house, constructed about 1320, had had two storeys originally: an undercroft for bones and an upper level serving as a chapel. It had been built over earlier burials, but disarticulated bones had also been found in situ, despite the fact that after the dissolution of the monastery, the building had become a home for a family. In later centuries one of the walls had been preserved as part of a building on the Artillery Ground site, helping to ensure its survival. Once excavated, it had taken lengthy discussions to resolve with the developers how to preserve the remains. They are now visible through glass from above and from one side but only occasionally open for visits, let alone for a chance to hear so much about the history, archaeology, context and construction.
In her usual highly professional manner, Jane had also provided an array of plastic skellies, foil bats and illuminated pumpkins to add to the atmosphere. And CBA Members seemed to be especially keen on our own special treat: the dozens of chocolate eyeballs dotted round the historic remains….

Configuring filesystems with mkfs, df, du, and fsck
Although most Linux distributions today have simple-to-use graphical interfaces for setting up and managing filesystems, knowing how to perform those tasks from the command line is a valuable skill. We'll show you how to configure and manage filesystems with mkfs, df, du, and fsck.
Linux supports a wide array of filesystem types, including many that originated on other operating systems. The most common choices for hard disks, however, remain the native Linux ext2 and ext3 (the successor to ext2), followed by the high-performance XFS and ReiserFS filesystems. For compatibility, it is also important to know how to work with the VFAT filesystem, because it is the standard choice found pre-installed on many media, including USB thumb drives and flash disks.

I was reading the HTG cheat sheet and it says to take enzymes between meals. Should I just take the one I always do with meals? I think it is called NSI 10X Mega Digestive enzymes http://www.vitacost.com/NSI-Mega-Digestive-Enzymes-10X . (If it makes any difference, I am 18 weeks pregnant)
I really wish something like the SCD could have helped us, but with DD's c. difficule infection the SCD doesn't work to kill it. I was really glad we did the stool analysis and I knew it wouldn't work to heal her before I tried it. Not that I don't think it could have done some good, but it wouldn't have killed the c. difficule because you can't starve it. Just saying this so that if anyone tries the SCD and doesn't get results, a comprehensive stool analysis may be helpful to see if you are fighting something in the gut that can't be treated by diet alone.

Kyogre has gotten upgraded in this generation. With Choice Scarf, it makes an excellent revenge killer. With Choice Specs, it strikes fear into its nemesis, Blissey, and also can 2HKO almost every Pokémon in the game. With its massive Special Attack and rain, Kyogre is truly one of the most fearsome sweepers in the Uber tier. Despite the lack of movepool, the sheer power of its moves compensates for that loss. Every Uber team must have a strategy against Kyogre, or it will easily plow through them. The fact that a Pokémon like Quagsire is viable for the sole purpose of beating Kyogre shows how much of a powerful force Kyogre is in the Uber metagame!
Choice Specs Kyogre is absurdly deadly; a Timid Water Spout deals 54-64% to 252 SpD Calm Blissey, a guaranteed 2HKO, something that most special attackers cannot boast about. With Choice Specs, Ice Beam deals massive damage to Latias and Latios, and Thunder becomes capable of OHKOing an opposing Kyogre. Palkia will actually hesitate to switch in to this, since a Thunder from a Timid Choice Specs Kyogre does 58% minimum to a 4 HP / 0 SpD Palkia, and the paralysis chance is always threatening.Team Options & Additional Comments >>>
Kyogre is most often seen as a hit and run Pokémon, setting up the rain as it enters into the battle. With Choice Scarf boosting its mediocre Speed, and the rain boosting Water Spout's already gargantuan Base Power, Kyogre becomes a deadly revenge killer. Water Spout is pure power; it can easily destroy Mewtwo and Darkrai in one hit assuming Kyogre is at full health. When one wants to conserve the abysmal PP of Water Spout, or if Kyogre's HP is too low to abuse Water Spout, it can fall back onto Surf or Hydro Pump for STAB. Surf is more reliable, but Hydro Pump OHKOes Mewtwo and Metagross. The other two attacks are used to cover what the Water attacks don't. Thunder 3HKOes Palkia and will 2HKO opposing Kyogre, while Ice Beam OHKOes Rayquaza, Garchomp, and Shaymin-S.Team Options & Additional Comments >>>
Kyogre is capable of smashing through teams with its ridiculously powerful double-STAB Surfs after a single Calm Mind. In addition to boosting Kyogre's Special Attack, Calm Mind also boosts Kyogre's titanic 140 base Special Defense, making Kyogre much tougher to revenge kill. For example, Palkia cannot 2HKO a +1 Kyogre with Thunder without Life Orb, while Kyogre 2HKOes most Palkia with Thunder. Even a Life Orb Shaymin-S can only do 84% maximum to a +1 Kyogre with Seed Flare, while Kyogre will easily OHKO with Ice Beam.Team Options & Additional Comments >>>
This set destroys anyone depending on a non-Psych Up, non-Calm Mind Blissey to counter Kyogre. 101 HP Substitutes mean that Blissey can't break them with Seismic Toss, and Kyogre's massive Special Defense ensures that they will become unbreakable with Thunder after the second Calm Mind, and the first if Blissey doesn't carry maximum Special Attack. It can also wear down many things your opponent may use to attempt to counter Kyogre and allows it to set up a Substitute and start Calm Minding against whatever their next answer is after their first gets worn down or fainted.Team Options & Additional Comments >>>
RestTalk Calm Mind Kyogre is yet another option. It is very similar to the previous set, with the exception of Calm Mind. Calm Mind boosts its already titanic special stats even further, and as it sets up, Surf washes almost everything ashore. RestTalk keeps Kyogre alive and healthy and free from status. With this set, Kyogre will easily beat any Blissey without Psych Up + Thunder.Team Options & Additional Comments >>>
Kyogre in a lead position is often helpful to set the tone for the entire battle; not only will it set up rain that you can take advantage of with your other team members, it will also cripple opposing leads such as Darkrai and Groudon. Choice Scarf Mewtwo is easily Thunder Waved and picked off by Surf, as it can only muster a 4-3HKO (27.7% - 32.6%) with its strongest non-Selfdestruct attack, Focus Blast. 176 HP / 176 SpD Scizor has a small chance of getting OHKOed by Surf, and a 252 HP / 4 SpD Scizor is always OHKOed. The common 240 HP / 184 SpD Tyranitar lead is 2HKOed (54.1% - 63.8%) with sandstorm up by Surf as well.Team Options & Additional Comments >>>
Although this seems similar to the Mono-Attacker set, this set packs some notable advantages. Instead of setting up Calm Minds over time, this set focuses on getting as many Calm Minds as possible and then Resting. Thanks to Chesto Berry, Kyogre will immediately wake up at full HP, ready to drown anything in its path with STAB Surf. Without the need for Sleep Talk, this Kyogre can afford to run a second attacking move. Ice Beam is generally the best option as it allows Kyogre to stop Rayquaza, Giratina-O, Palkia, and Shaymin-S cold. Thunder can also be used to allow Kyogre to defeat some opposing Calm Mind Kyogre, Manaphy, and Lugia, while also dealing more damage to Palkia than Ice Beam.Team Options & Additional Comments >>>
Although this set may seem more offensive at first glance, its primary role is to support, focusing on luring Kyogre's common counters as opposed to blasting everything in sight. Its main selling point is the ability to 2HKO Blissey with Waterfall, which helps immensely to facilitate a sweep for another special sweeper. However, Kyogre's usefulness doesn't end there, as it can also cripple its two primary counters, Latias and Palkia, with Thunder Wave.Team Options & Additional Comments >>>
Other Options
Despite being a huge threat with many sets, Kyogre does not have much of a movepool when compared to other Ubers; thus there really are not any other options for moves. It can use Safeguard and Roar, although these options are almost never seen due to being outclassed. Safeguard allows Kyogre and the rest of the team to block status moves without being forced to use Substitute. It also protects the team from Toxic Spikes. Roar allows Kyogre to phaze away other Calm Minders as they try Calm Minding along with it.
Checks and Counters
Psych Up / Calm Mind Blissey, Latias, specially defensive Dialga (particularly the Bulk Up set), and Latios are checks for all the sets. These are really the only reliable Kyogre switch-ins; Kyogre's special stats are just too high for anything else to threaten Kyogre without too much risk to itself after Kyogre gets a Calm Mind in, or switch into Choice Specs Kyogre's extremely powerful assaults. Shedinja gets a comedy mention as well; it completely walls Kyogre unless it carries Hidden Power specifically to hit it, or Toxic. Similarly, Quagsire takes on Kyogre without Ice Beam, and can hit hard with Choice Band Earthquake, again for a 2HKO, or it, too, can predict a switch and Ice Punch something. Quagsire can also use Encore to foil any attempts to set up on Kyogre's part. Dugtrio gets a special mention just because of the popularity of Choice Scarf / Choice Specs Kyogre, because if Dugtrio catches Kyogre locked into Thunder, it's a guaranteed KO.
Palkia easily switches in to a Choice Scarf Water Spout with its 4x resistance. In the process, Kyogre wasted 2 PP due to Pressure. Note that if Kyogre gets in a Calm Mind on the switch, it 2HKOs Palkia with Thunder, but Palkia cannot 2HKO back with a Thunder of its own, unless that Palkia carries Choice Specs. Palkia, however, can switch into Kyogre's STAB Water moves with relative ease. A specially defensive Ludicolo with Rain Dish can take any of Kyogre's attacks with ease, and can use Leech Seed and Protect to stall if needed. Ludicolo can also use Grass Knot to quickly whittle down Kyogre's HP. Ludicolo will not beat the Rest+Sleep Talk Calm Mind Kyogre though, as Ludicolo will eventually run out of PP. If Kyogre does not pack Ice Beam, Rayquaza will be troublesome, cutting down the rain to neutralize Kyogre's Water powers and Thunder's accuracy.
