The Java Connector Architecture (JCA) defines a standard architecture for connecting the Java EE platform to heterogeneous Enterprise Information Systems (EIS). Examples of EISs include Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP), mainframe transaction processing (TP), database and messaging systems.
The connector architecture defines a set of scalable, secure, and transactional mechanisms that enable the integration of EISs with application servers and enterprise applications.
The connector architecture also defines a Common Client Interface (CCI) for EIS access. The CCI defines a client API for interacting with heterogeneous EISs.
The connector architecture enables an EIS vendor to provide a standard resource adapter for its EIS. A resource adapter is a system-level software driver that is used by a Java application to connect to an EIS. The resource adapter plugs into an application server and provides connectivity between the EIS, the application server, and the enterprise application. The resource adapter serves as a protocol adapter that allows any arbitrary EIS communication protocol to be used for connectivity. An application server vendor extends its system once to support the connector architecture and is then assured of seamless connectivity to multiple EISs. Likewise, an EIS vendor provides one standard resource adapter which has the capability to plug in to any application server that supports the connector architecture.
Use cases for Java EE Connector Architecture
Examples of resource adapters
- A Java Database Connectivity (JDBC) resource adapter, which provides the foundation for datasources inside an application server, like JBoss Application Server 7
- A Java Message Service (JMS) resource adapter, which enables communication with messaging systems, like HornetQ, ActiveMQ or WebSphereMQ
- A Java Mail resource adapter, which allows email to trigger EJB3/Message-Driven Beans
- A resource adapter for a legacy system that speak a weird binary protocol to be integrated with a Java Enterprise Edition server
In short - when ever you have a situation where the system that you want to integrate with doesn't support a standard protocol, or when you want to take advantage of the cool features of Java EE Connector Architecture like pooling, security and transaction integration it is time to write a resource adapter !

TORONTO — For most people, seeing a picture of a famous face — Oprah Winfrey, the Queen or Einstein, for instance — sparks immediate recognition and brings the name readily to the lips.
But for people with a rare form of early-onset dementia called primary progressive aphasia, or PPA, the ability to identify a face or the person's name can be impaired.
PPA strikes people aged about 40 to 65, much earlier than is typical for other forms of dementia like Alzheimer's disease.
The condition is characterized by a deterioration in language and eventually the ability to communicate, although initially cognitive function in other areas remains intact, said Tamar Gefen, a PhD candidate in clinical neuropsychology at Northwestern University in Chicago.
"Memory is fine, attention is fine and their planning, their judgment, their personality, their emotions — they're intact," explained Gefen, adding that early symptoms can include being unable to recall the names of familiar people or in some cases everyday objects.
"Someone will come in and say: 'I can't remember my co-worker's name. I see her every day and I cannot remember it,"' she said.
As the disease progresses, the person has difficulty speaking coherently and eventually stops talking altogether.
Since the inability to put a name to a face can be an early sign of Alzheimer's disease, Gefen said it's important to properly diagnose the cause using specific tests that can identify PPA.
However, standard tests for face recognition and naming put together in the 1970s, '80s or even early '90s may be outdated for some people in their 40s, who may not be familiar with images of people who became household names during or before that period.
So Gefen and colleagues compiled a set of 20 famous faces — among them Winfrey, Bill Gates and Princess Diana — that may be more relevant for middle-aged patients, and tested them in a study reported in Tuesday's issue of the journal Neurology.
"The famous faces for this study were specifically chosen for their relevance to individuals under age 65 so that the test may be useful for diagnosing dementia in younger individuals," said senior author Emily Rogalski of Northwestern's Cognitive Neurology and Alzheimer's Disease Center.
The researchers showed the black-and-white photos to 30 subjects with primary progressive aphasia and to 27 healthy control subjects without dementia, all with an average age of 62, to determine their ability to recognize and then name the famous faces.
Participants were given points for each face they could name. If the subject could not name the face, he or she was asked to identify the person through description. Participants gained more points by providing at least two relevant details about the person.
"For Oprah, you'd say, 'Oh, I know she's really famous and she's rich and she has a talk show and she's been in movies,' but you just can't come up with that name," said Gefen.
Researchers found that PPA subjects performed significantly worse on the test, scoring an average of 79 per cent in recognition and 46 per cent in naming the famous faces versus 97 per cent in recognition and 93 per cent in naming achieved by control subjects.
"An important component of the test is that it distinguishes deficits in remembering the name of a famous person from that of recognizing the same individual," noted Rogalski.
Using MRI scans, researchers found that people who had trouble putting names to faces were more likely to have a loss of brain tissue in the left temporal lobe, while those with trouble recognizing faces had tissue loss in both left and right temporal lobes of the brain.
"So those two processes, naming versus recognizing, are actually very distinct and sometimes they're lumped together," said Gefen.
"It has clinical significance for neurologists. Now they can give this test and they can predict that if they have naming problems, then that's probably a left-sided problem. But if they have recognition problems, then it's probably a bilateral problem."
Dr. Sandra Black, a neurologist at Sunnybrook Health Sciences Centre, said the dementia clinic at the Toronto hospital uses an informal group of photos geared to Canadian patients. Like the Northwestern list, it includes Winston Churchill, Elvis Presley and Albert Einstein, but not Gates or former U.S. presidents Bill Clinton and George W. Bush.
"The problem with famous faces is it really depends on how politically aware the person has been or what their particular hobbies or interests are," said Black, director of brain sciences research.
"I think the more telling thing is you ask (a family member) if your loved one is having any difficulty recognizing people they know," such as friends or relatives the person doesn't see very often, she said. "That's another way of getting a sense of this."
Still, Black said the study "provides a nice little packaged test" that smaller hospitals less familiar with PPA could administer to patients having word-finding difficulties, along with other neurological assessment tools.
"And I think that's a contribution ... It's bringing attention to a disease that may seem a bit bizarre: How can you lose the meaning of faces and words? How could you lose the ability to name people that you know?"
The reason is that PPA is caused by degeneration of neurons in the temporal lobes of the brain, located behind the eyes, which are responsible for speech and language.
There is no treatment for PPA, a form of frontotemporal dementia, and it's not clear how common the condition is within the population.
The disease can be devastating for the person affected and their families, said Gefen, who earned her undergraduate degree at McGill University in Montreal.
"Humans are social beings. If we can't recognize, we can't communicate, we can't interact ... If you can't notice a loved one in a crowd, you get lost, but you also get completely disoriented about yourself.
"It's terrible. I've seen so many PPA patients and it breaks my heart. It's really sad."

you guys got the idea for this article from jim rome...just saying.
Scott Sanderson And Lipscomb Beat Florida Gulf Coast … Twice!
It was about an hour before a mid-January Atlantic Sun conference game in Fort Myers, Fla., and Lipscomb coach Scott Sanderson was out on the Alico Arena court. The Florida Gulf Coast Eagles were also on the floor at the time, and were conducting early warmups in a fashion that shouldn't surprise anyone given the raging national frenzy over the Eagles and their style of play.
"They were in two-line layups," Sanderson said. "… and every one of them was dunking every which way."
Sanderson got a taste of FGCU's dunk city mentality before it became a capitalized mission statement, complete with rap videos and about a dozen posters featuring stunned Georgetown and San Diego State players. Sanderson and his Bisons also tasted something else against FGCU that neither the Hoyas nor Aztecs came particularly close to: victory.
Lipscomb (12-18 overall for the season) won that game in Fort Myers in overtime and then completed the season sweep at home a month later, by 10. That shock double prompted FGCU forward Eric McKnight to refer to Lipscomb as the Eagles' "Kryptonite" and express faux-relief that they weren't facing the Bisons in the Sweet 16. Lest you think Lipscomb defused the high-flying act that's now thrilling college basketball fans nationwide, the Bisons were actually one of the fastest-paced teams in the nation. For two games, they just outdid the Eagles in their own preferred style.
Was there any secret to it? Not really. Sanderson noted the Eagles shot just 13-for-51 from three-point range against them in the two meetings. He had the same conclusions about FGCU as everyone now watching them play with breathless anticipation.
"As you saw on TV, they're really good in the open floor," Sanderson said. "It's not brain surgery. [Brett] Comer's just very, very good in the open floor … He sees guys, he see cutters, he sees jump shooters. He's the one who makes them go."
"Style of play for them is important," he added. "How teams play is very, very important. Teams that get up and down floor and play fast is what they do."
FGCU was able to exploit Georgetown's relative slowness with their uptempo spread attack, and a team like San Diego State, without dominant size and focused heavily on athletic guard play, was a strong matchup for these Eagles. Sanderson also echoed what a number of coaches say at this time of the year: Some teams benefit greatly from getting out of league play and into an environment where opponents don't know their tendencies or personnel as well.
Sanderson specifically mentioned Christophe Varidel, who came off the bench and made three huge three-pointers against San Diego State. He said Varidel didn't have a great season (just 34 percent from the arc), but he's widely regarded as a sharpshooter within the Atlantic Sun. He shot 42 percent from the arc last year on 143 attempts, but if you're not in the Atlantic Sun, you're less likely to know how potent a player like that can be and game-plan accordingly.
Still, is the only coach in America with two wins over America's Darlings surprised by what he's seeing? FGCU went 13-5 in the Atlantic Sun, finishing a game behind Mercer for the regular-season title. When he saw the Eagles going through their pregame dunk fest, or after he beat them twice this season, did he believe this kind of NCAA tournament run was possible?
"No," Sanderson said, with a chuckle. "But again, no disrespect whatsoever, they've played at a high level.
"You can ask any of those guys, though. [Coach] Andy [Enfield], any of the players … I don't think any of them saw that at all."

The prime minister paid a visit to the southeastern province of Diyarbakır yesterday amid tensions in the region stemming from protests related to the alleged maltreatment of PKK leader Abdullah Öcalan, who is serving a life sentence on İmralı island in the Sea of Marmara.
Speaking at a ceremony to mark the inauguration of the new academic year at Dicle University, Erdoğan said: "Whenever the democratic will strengthens in the region, civil society improves and our citizens make their existence felt through their own free will, the terrorist organization panics and does what it can to create an atmosphere of fatigue in society. This is the reason for the recent increase in violence."
A bloody PKK attack on a military outpost in the Aktütün area, near the border with Iraq, executed in broad daylight on Oct. 3 claimed the lives of 17 soldiers and injured 21 others. Additionally, a PKK raid on a police shuttle in Diyarbakır on Oct. 8 resulted in the deaths of five people, four of whom were police officers.
Diyarbakır saw security officers posted at 20-meter intervals on the route Erdoğan used. The prime minister's vehicle was protected by a special van. Some shop owners in the city did not open their shops, fearing violence upon Erdoğan's arrival.
"If some stores are closed in areas of Diyarbakır today, why is this so? Because of threats. On the one hand you [the PKK] say you support democracy and want to promote a democratic state of law, and on the other you use threats to prevent citizens and shop owners from going about their business," Erdoğan said.
The prime minister also noted that it was out of the question for the PKK, which poses a mortal threat to the police and military forces as well as the peace and welfare of this country, to be the representative of Turkey's Kurdish citizens.
Investors stay away from region out of security concerns
Speaking about the reasons that discourage investors from investing in the region, Erdoğan said it was impossible for the standard of life to improve and investment to enter a region in which freedoms have not taken root and peace and security cannot be maintained.
"We gave incentives to the eastern and southeastern region. Why are investors not coming to these regions? Because there is no security. They [the investors] say they want to find a secure environment in which to invest. International companies want to invest in these regions but give up on the idea because of the existence of terrorism. Investors would like to see two things before they invest in a region: security and stability," Erdoğan said.
He clarified that this does not mean there is no investment in the region but that the level of investment has not reached desired levels.
The prime minister said his government was determined to move Turkey further on its EU accession process despite PKK provocations.
"Turkey will neither abandon its security nor its democracy and human rights despite the terrorist organization's provocations and attacks aiming to do just that. We will continue our bid to develop Turkey's 81 provinces simultaneously," Erdoğan added.
He also announced that TV broadcasting in Kurdish will be launched in January and that it will initially broadcast 12 hours a day in Kurdish. He said broadcasting hours will be increased later.
Erdoğan criticizes DTP mayor
The prime minister directed criticism at Diyarbakır Mayor Osman Baydemir, who belongs to the pro-Kurdish Democratic Society Party (DTP), for his failure to develop Diyarbakır sufficiently. "I saw the condition of the roads while coming here from the airport. Does waste on the roads befit a modern city like Diyarbakır? Does this municipality not have garbage trucks and cleaners? This public should teach him the necessary lesson. What we call civilization is water, cleanliness and roads. It is love and respect. We should all share them," he noted.
Erdoğan's ruling Justice and Development Party (AK Party) came in first in the 2007 general elections in the southeastern region, beating the DTP. Erdoğan aims to show the same success in local elections scheduled for March 2009 and win the Diyarbakır Municipality, which is seen as a DTP stronghold.
Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdoğan arrived yesterday in Diyarbakır amid tensions in Turkey's Southeast over protests related to the alleged maltreatment of outlawed Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK) leader Abdullah Öcalan, who is serving a life sentence on İmralı Island in the Sea of Marmara. Diyarbakır saw security officers posted at 20-meter intervals on the route Erdoğan used. The prime minister's vehicle was protected by a special van.
Prior to Erdoğan's arrival, pro-Öcalan protestors demonstrated, burning tires and trash. Some shop owners in Diyarbakır closed their stores in protest of Erdoğan's arrival or in fear of violence. In Doğubeyazıt, a town in eastern Ağrı province, protestor Ahmet Özkan died in a clash with police after police prevented a group of protestors from walking into the town square. Police used gas against protestors, who used stones and clubs against the police. The group then dispersed, but small groups of people still continued their protests. In Batman, Governor Vali Kızılcık called on shop owners to open their stores and unite "against the people who would like to disturb peace."In Viranşehir, Şanlıurfa province, PKK sympathizers staged violent protests. A group of around 50 people between the ages of 10 and 20 used Molotov cocktails to attack policemen lining Karacadağ Street. They then walked to the center of town and attacked the special forces there. They formed barricades using trash bins. The protesters were dispersed in a short period of time but the street remained closed for some time thereafter.
Police detained dozens of people who took to the streets in the Southeast over the weekend. In Diyarbakır, thousands of demonstrators, including pro-Kurdish Democratic Society Party (DTP) deputies, released a press statement in front of the DTP Diyarbakır provincial branch. They termed the alleged treatment of Öcalan as "humiliating and unacceptable," noting that the ruling Justice and Development Party (AK Party) would be responsible for the public indignation the incident would lead to.

Perspectives on Inclusion: Students with LD, their Parents, and their Teachers
One of the most significant changes in education over the last few decades is the movement toward inclusive education. Many schools have adopted an inclusive approach of educating students with learning disabilities (LD) in the regular classroom. The present study utilized a multiple case study approach to examine the perspectives of stakeholders in inclusive education. Each case consisted of a student with LD, a parent of the student, and the inclusive education classroom teacher. A number of similarities and differences in perspectives among the student, parent, and teacher in each case were identified. Similarities and differences in perspectives were also found among each of the case studies. Several practical implications arose from the research.

After the mob scene Helena and I had encountered at the Sony Press Conference the other night, it was refreshing to have a one-on-one session with Alistair and Tobias from Sony. Tobias just happened to have the just announced Sony Xperia P and the upcoming (this summer) Xperia Ion on him, and he didn't mind giving us a leisurely look. The cherry on the top of this particular sundae was that Tobias was wearing the new SmartWatch.
I'm personally torn between the two models; I love the larger screen size, the camera, and the other specs on the Ion, but the P has "an ultra-bright viewing experience thanks to the introduction of WhiteMagic™ screen technology, and comes with a 4" Reality Display housed in aluminium, unibody design for a sleek look and feel. Xperia™ P also introduces the new ST-Ericsson U8500 platform, which provides a 1 GHz dual core processor with SMP technology for high-end performance. Plus, Xperia™ P gives you an 8MP capture camera, full 1080p HD recording & front camera, NFC, and a ton of other features."
More on the Xperia P …
It's too bad that Sony isn't making Windows Phones.

Park Trails
at Hawn State Park
Pickle Creek Trail
- Hiking
Length: .70 Mile View map
This entire trail follows Pickle Creek, which is a beautiful shut-ins stream. This persistent stream has carved its way through the surrounding sandstone to its present course. The result is a clear, sandy-bottom creek strewn with water-sculpted granite boulders and exposed sandstone bluffs. These features make a hike along Pickle Creek Trail a pleasure any time of the year. The trail provides a point-to-point hike, although a loop hike is possible by returning on a portion of Whispering Pine Trail that traverses the bluffs on the opposite side of the creek.

Length: 300 Feet View map
This short, paved, asphalt trail takes several minutes to walk and serves as an excellent introduction to Hawn State Park, especially for first time visitors. It leads to a small overlook of Pickle Creek valley, with a view of some of the pine and oak-covered hills in the park. Along the path, you will find interpretation about the pine woodlands that grace its vistas; and the Lamotte Sandstone that forms its bluffs, knobs and box canyons.

Whispering Pines Trail
- Backpacking
- Hiking
Length: 9.75 Miles View map
This trail is generally considered to be one of the best hiking and backpacking trails in the state. It consists of two loops: the north loop is approximately six miles long and the south loop is approximately 3.75 miles. The trail provides the opportunity for day hikes of varying lengths or a longer backpacking trip. It meanders through a beautiful mixed hardwood and pine forest that is home to a variety of animals such as bobcat and wild turkey. Extensive exposures of sandstone and granite can be explored along the banks of Pickle Creek and the River Aux Vases. Mosses and ferns create a luxurious effect on the moist overhangs that occur along the two streams. A hike on Whispering Pine Trail is especially enjoyable in the spring and winter, but a summer day hike ending with a cool dip in Pickle Creek or a backpacking trip on a crisp, fall weekend can be equally rewarding.
Whispering Pine Trail can be reached by turning left at the park entrance and proceeding to the picnic area where a parking area is provided. Water is not available at the trailhead, but can be obtained at the park office or the campground. Water from Pickle Creek or the River Aux Vases may be used for drinking while on the trail, but it should always be treated before consumption. The trail is signed in a counterclockwise direction with colored arrows. Additional markers are used to mark spur trails leading to the camp areas.
You can also access the White Oaks Trail by using either white connector 1 or 2. In addition, if you want to stay on Whispering Pines Trails but would like to shorten your hike, white connector 3 is available for this purpose. All trail users must register at the trailhead or park office before starting their trip. Groups of seven or more are permitted to camp only in designated areas. While smaller groups are not required to use the designated areas, they must camp at least 100 feet from the trail, 200 feet from any major public-use area, and at least one-fourth mile from the trail entry/exit point. Campfires are prohibited. Bring your own stove if cooking is necessary.

Although it faces stiff competition from the likes of Sandshrew, Omanyte, and Anorith for a team slot, Pineco has a few unique qualities that set it apart from them. With good defenses and access to Rapid Spin, Pineco can usually find time to spin away harmful entry hazards that your team may hate. Additionally, Pineco can easily assist your team with all three entry hazards in hand. Pineco also has resistances to Fighting and Ground, as well as access to Explosion, which allows it to go out with a bang after it has done its job. Although Pineco might seem outclassed at first glance, it has its niche in the LC metagame.
The main function of this set is to support the team using Pineco's entry hazards while acting as a physical tank in combination with Pineco's high Defense stat. Generally the most successful strategy is to switch Pineco into a resisted attack, such as a Choice-locked Earthquake, and spin away the opponent's entry hazards or set up its own. The moves on this set are quite simple. Spikes is the primary choice for entry hazards, because fewer Pokemon have access to it, but Stealth Rock can also be used if it benefits your team more. Rapid Spin is a valuable weapon in Pineco's arsenal, allowing your Pokemon that are weak to Stealth Rock, such as Mantyke and Houndour, to switch in without losing one-quarter (or more) of their health. Bug Bite eats Oran Berries commonly seen on defensive Pokémon, such as Munchlax and Bronzor, which allows Pineco to restore its HP and continue its job. The last moveslot is a matter of personal preference. Payback is the recommended attack in order to prevent Gastly and other Ghost-types from endlessly walling Pineco. Protect can be used to scout your opponent's attacks—namely Trick and Choiced attacks—and potentially rack up another turn of sandstorm or hail damage. Oran Berry is the recommended item for this moveset to increase Pineco's longevity. The EVs, in conjunction with an Impish nature, maximize Pineco's physical bulk, with the rest thrown into Attack for an extra bite behind Pineco's attacks.Team Options & Additional Comments >>>
This set's purpose is solely to set up Stealth Rock and multiple layers of Spikes, then fire off a life-threatening Explosion. This moveset utilizes two forms of entry hazards, Stealth Rock and Spikes, in order to rack up as much passive damage as possible on the enemy team. Bug Bite can net Pineco extra healing outside of its own Oran Berry, as well as stripping its opponents of theirs. This moveset can be considered to be Pineco's trademark, since Pineco is the only Pokemon in the Little Cup metagame with access to Stealth Rock, Spikes, and Explosion together. Oran Berry is essential to increase Pineco's staying power, so it can set up as many entry hazards as possible. The EVs, in conjunction with an Impish nature, maximize Pineco's physical bulk, while the extra point in Attack increases the power of Pineco's Explosion.Team Options & Additional Comments >>>
Other Options
There aren't many options outside of the ones above for this little bagworm. Pain Split may look appealing, but it sees no main use outside of possibly beating Munchlax. Earthquake is a decent option, but Pineco is now a sitting duck in the face of Gastly. Toxic Spikes can be used over Spikes, but with many grounded Poison-types common in the Little Cup metagame, such as Croagunk and Stunky, it isn't as effective as Spikes. Gravity is viable in lieu of Rapid Spin, enabling Pineco to hit Gastly with Earthquake, in addition to having Spikes hit more Pokemon. Explosion can also be used in the last slot on the first set in order to possibly remove a potential threat after Pineco has finished its job.
Checks and Counters
Due to the fact that Pineco is a supporter, it technically doesn't have counters. Houndour can switch into Pineco, only fearing an uncommon Earthquake, and dispatch it with a super effective Fire-type attack. Gastly and other Ghost-types can block Pineco's Rapid Spin. Pineco also struggles against Aron, which easily forces Pineco out with its 150 Base Power Head Smash attack. Aron can also can set up a Rock Polish on the switch and wreak havoc on an unprepared team. Pokemon with Taunt can also prove troublesome for Pineco, as they can take away Pineco's ability to set up entry hazards, which is Pineco's main function.

Answer by Antti 540 · Jun 15 '11 at 07:37 PM
I do. Maybe not for the entire week, but 3-4 days ahead. Reasons / benefits:
a) Grocery shopping is easy and quicker. I cook most of my meals myself, maybe 1-2 lunches out every week. I also might pick up something from the deli, and I usually have it planned what to get. b) I have different macro targets for workout and rest days, so planning is somewhat required. I save time by using a bit of time with my own spreadsheet, than figuring out meals and portions afterwards with fitday etc. c) I know I'll eat enough (food in general and macros). d) I won't eat too much, as I know what I'll have on my 1st, 2nd and possible 3rd meal of the day (doing intermittent fasting).
C is currently the most important, as I'm shifting from weight loss targets to maintenance levels and strength work. D is more of an issue for rest days, as I'm doing leangains-paleo.
I still quite a bit of scale, but I've been doing it so long, I have become pretty good and accurate enough to tell how muchs a certain piece of different food weighs. Planning is more needed if I cook or eat foods higher in fat, like fish a lot of eggs.
Answer by The Primalist 651 · Jun 15 '11 at 07:38 PM
Yes, I batch cook on Sunday for (almost) the entire week. Benefits: saves time, money, and ensures I have healthy delicious food ready at all times.
Answer by Aravindan Balasubramanian 72 · Jun 15 '11 at 09:17 PM
Yes. Failing to plan is a plan to fail. Cliched but true. Otherwise the evil forces of fast food slowly creep into the diet and then metabolic havoc is imminent.
Related to this, I still am a bit on the fence regarding Stephan Guyenet's Food Reward series, but...I find that by planning my meals, the Food Reward of my diet (as I understand) is noticeably lower which is aligned with my weight loss objectives. Note that I do not equate this with unsatisfying meals - far from it!!!
To the extent that my grocery bills have never been higher, I am even further motivated to eat healthy since throwing out the food always hurts my fiscally challenged heart. A week of eating at Taco Bell would be 1-2 days of healthy food in terms of $, so the opportunity cost is much greater as a result when not adhering to the plan.
Cheers! Aravind

No, cuz I never know what I want till the moment strikes me. I keep a variety of meats, fish, etc in the freezer n shop daily for the freshest organic veggie or two. Besides, nothing makes Spirit laugh louder than hearing we have plans.
Answer by JansSushiBar 2147 · Jun 15 '11 at 07:32 PM
These days, no - simply because we have a freezer full of grass-fed beef, pastured pork and chicken and are getting most of our vegetables from our CSA co-op and the farmer's market. It's hard to plan when you're not sure what you're getting, food-wise! Having said that, I did meal plan when my children were small, and was quite strict about it. It was very good for our budget, which was very tight back then, and reduced food waste because I only bought what I needed for the week. Also, it was good for us nutritionally, although I didn't think much about that aspect of it 20 years ago, because for the most part it encouraged us to eat seasonally, because that was the produce that was on sale (even back then I was a bit of a food snob and didn't buy much processed crap).
Answer by Jenn_Givler 181 · Jun 15 '11 at 08:31 PM
I plan breakfast, lunch and dinner for the entire week ahead. Reason/Benefits - we are 1 busy family - I teach 14 fitness/yoga classes per week, hubs owns a barber shop and works 55+ hours, daughter is a competitive Irish dancer... Some weeks never end!
Planning our meals saves time and saves us from the "I don't know what to cook/don't feel like cooking" eating out binge.
Also, my daughter is spending a bit of time with my in-laws this summer who are the exact opposite of Paleo... planning helps me pack her some healthy stuff to take up there with her so she's not stuck with grilled cheese and hot dogs every day (shudder).
Answer by Jennifer 4 21 · Jun 15 '11 at 08:54 PM
YES YES YES! I plan my 7 day menu and hit the grocery store with my list of ingredients! It helps save on wasteful spending, as I only buy what is on my list! Eating primal is more expensive than most lifestyles....so anything that helps to eliminate additional costs, and I find that meal planning does that for us.
Answer by familygrokumentarian 12456 · Jun 16 '11 at 02:40 AM
Sure do! Keeps me from wasting produce and meat I've forgotten about.
Answer by greta 778 · Jun 16 '11 at 04:38 AM
When I go to the grocery store I think in terms of what I'm gonna eat that week, when I get home I think of the day at first because I'm all excited about my new stuff, planning is going on in my head from time to time and for differing lengths of time since I bought the stuff. Breakfast is pretty standard eggs with some kinda meat. I improvise lunch and dinner but only sorta...while I'm doing breakfast I'm thinking about lunch and when I'm doing lunch I'm thinking about dinner, make sense? I'm only cooking for one, so it's easy not to be making as much food...but I am not a believer that good food just takes too much time to prepare: Today I drove home for my lunch break, leaving me with 30 minutes to cook and eat some potatoes, eggs, bacon and I ate that with some kimchi, it was phenomenal. My friend used to go home on her lunchbreak at school and make a platter of sushi for herself, planned, yes, improvised, yes too. We have our different ways of planning.
Answer by dzone 1145 · Jun 16 '11 at 05:05 AM
Semi-planned and semi-spontaneous. Like maybe I thought I'd have beef for dinner but a friend shows up with some fresh caught halibut and crab, so I switch! We live out of town so I always have frozen meat, bacon, fish available.
And when I go to town, since shopping is a favourite hobby, I cruise the perimeter aisles looking for things like fresh portobellos that catch my eye and build a meal around them.
Once the garden gets going the veggie part involves a walk outside to see what looks good- yesterday I picked some fresh broccoli to have with roasted chicken thighs and salad.
Life in retirement is a lot less hectic/stressful in the cooking department.

MARQUETTE - After 10 straight games in Olympic-sized ice rinks to start 2013, the Northern Michigan University hockey team returned to the narrower NHL-sized sheet Tuesday at John MacInnes Student Ice Arena against Michigan Tech in Houghton.
It was an epic disaster.
After going 6-3-1 during a 10-game stretch on Olympic-sized ice to set themselves up for a possible NCAA tournament run down the home stretch of the regular season, the Wildcats doused those chances with an 8-2 loss to Tech in their final non-league game of the season.
Article Video
Now the 10th-place Wildcats return to CCHA play - and remain on NHL-sized ice - this weekend at Munn Ice Arena in East Lansing against the last-place Michigan State.
The league's two worst teams square off at 7:05 p.m. Friday on the Big Ten Network and again at 7:05 p.m. Saturday on Fox Sports Detroit.
"We're back into league stuff and we have to get the job done," NMU head coach Walt Kyle said following Tuesday's loss. "I thought we had a very good year non-league. We're 6-2 non-league. You have to take that out of it."

The Wildcats are only 6-12-4 in CCHA play, though, which is why they sit at the bottom of the league standings with the Spartans.
While neither appears to be heading for the NCAA tournament without the Mason Cup - NMU is tied for 20th in the PairWise and the Spartans aren't even ranked - both NMU and MSU are in contention for home ice in the CCHA playoffs with three weekends remaining in the regular season.
Lake Superior State currently holds the final first-round home ice spot in eighth place with 26 points. NMU (12-14-4 overall, 6-12-4 in CCHA) is three points back at 23, while the Spartans (8-19-3 overall, 6-15-1 in CCHA) are seven back of LSSU with 19 points.
Article Links
Michigan is ninth with 25 points, but off this week. The Wolverines only have four conference games remaining in the regular season.
"With Northern coming in, they're like us, trying to find their game and trying to move up in the standings," second-year MSU coach Tom Anastos said during his weekly press conference. "It will be a very competitive series.
"For us to make any advancement, we have to start winning games. We certainly don't want to finish where we are today."
To keep the Spartans in the CCHA's basement and stay in contention for a home playoff series, the Wildcats will have to do what they haven't done all season - beat a conference foe in their own rink.
NMU is 0-9-1 on the road in CCHA play this year and 5-11-1 away from the Berry Events Center overall with two of those wins coming on neutral ice in Green Bay against Wisconsin.
At the BEC, NMU is 7-3-3. On the 200-by-100 feet Olympic ice sheets, the 'Cats are 9-5-3.
On NHL-sized rinks, like Munn Ice Arena - which measure 200-by-85 - the Wildcats are 3-9-1.
"We're not going to use small ice as an excuse," NMU junior forward Jake Johnson said following Tuesday's loss to Tech.
"We have to know how to play on both sheets. There's only two Olympic-sized sheets in the CCHA (NMU and Alaska). There's no excuse to be bad just because it's a small sheet of ice."
The Wildcats' next four games are all on the road and on NHL-sized rinks, starting Friday and Saturday in East Lansing. NMU then heads to Ohio for the third time this season to face Bowling Green State on Feb. 22-23.
The Wildcats finish the regular season at home against LSSU, which swept the 'Cats in Sault Ste. Marie, 3-0 and 3-1, on Dec. 14-15.
"We have to be ready to go right from the start," Johnson said about facing the Spartans on Friday. "We can't be behind the 8-ball right away. We got to jump on them early and be ready to go."

Thank you for your considered response about why Marx was wrong on the LTV. An argument from authority, I take it? Economists are worse than theologians for disagreeing with each other. What I would appreciate is Roger Stanyard's argument as to why the labour theory of value is "utterly wrong".
If human labour applied to natural materials is not the source of all wealth, then what is?
Economists also teach that banks can and do create credit,(meaning actual spending power), in which case I wonder why so many of them have been in trouble recently.

Books can only be sold and distributed AFTER they have been written, published and printed. The same goes for loaves of bread, polish, computers or any other commodity you care to name. The people who work in Waterstones may not be creators of wealth, but their employer realises a part of the total surplus value by employing them, and can, hopefully, still make a profit by doing so. The circulation of commodities is part of the process of capitalism. "Unproductive" workers like those who work in banking and insurance (or book selling) still provide profit for their employers. Otherwise they are put out of work, witness BT and the like. Sorry Roger, you have to look at the system as a whole, not just the workers in factories.
I repeat that wealth can only be created by human labour applied to nature given materials.

D'Arcy - thanks for the URL on the labour theory of value. It's utterly wrong.
Roger, it was you who introduced Marxism into this thread, so it's fair game as far as I'm concerned.
If you think that the labour theory of value is utterly wrong, you are also writing off Aristotle, Adam Smith, Benjamin Franklin and Ricardo, whose ideas Marx adapted.
If it's not human labour that adds value to commodities, then what is it? I know you are too sensible to believe in magic. Surely wealth can only be created by human labour plus natural materials. Incidentally the LTV was not fully developed in Wage Labour and Capital as Marx later pointed out. At that point he had not worked out the distinction between labour and labour power. Forget Yugoslav syndicalists, and please explain why Marx was wrong, specifically on LTV.
Marx got a lot of things wrong, but I think he got LTV right.

Finally! West "meats" East in Dallas: In-N-Out vs. Five Guys!
Sun, 05/22/11 7:02 PM
West has
at last come to meat East! Mrs. Metro and I happen to be lucky enough now to have two Five Guys and two In-N-Outs within 10 miles of our home in McKinney, TX, birthplace and burial ground of Haystacks Calhoun. If only Haystacks could have lived to see this ...
MiamiDon's Photo
After having discovered their first store - a now-closed walk-up with no seating in the Westmont Shopping Center in Arlington, VA, I have been a Five Guys customer since the Reagan Administration. Their quality, reasonably-priced food then overcame my objections of blaring music, no seating, and sh*tty "presentation". Since, the music has been toned down, they now provide seating, but their presentation is still sh*tty - especially as one can see above vis a vis In-N-Out . When they were only a walk-up I could see putting everything in a poke as I had to take it to my car to eat. Why they have not evolved beyond that is beyond me. Mrs. Metro, who does not allow condiment bottles on our dinner table (ketchup, steak sauce, salsa, etc. are served in minature pitchers or small ramekins with tiny spoons) is absolutely horrified by the "pokes".
Another thing I hate about Five Guys presentation is that my burger looks like this on their prep table:
And 20 seconds later when I take it out of the steaming poke 'o fries and unwrap the foil, it looks like this:
This gives me PSTD-type flashbacks of trying to keep the grease away from my Charvet tie when eating such in my Euro-Coupe! I am seriously tempted to take my own plate when I next go. In-N-Out wins presentation hands down and six ways from Sunday!
The meat:
Both use excellent quality fresh, hand pattied beef. As neither wants a salmonellosis scandal, both source their own beef and cook it "well done". As Five Guys's patties are 65% larger than INO's (3.3 oz. vs. 2 oz.), Five Guys is the jucier, tastier finished product.
The bun:
In keeping with the tradition of their first store which was located next to their bun supplier, Brenner's Bakery, the Guys use a substantial sesame seeded bun while INO's is closer to a Wal-Mary "Great Value" bun. That said, Five Guys bun had
be substantial in order to survive the abuse it undergoes with their above-mentioned (and illustrated) sh*tty presentation!
The toppings:
Both are fresh and top-notch, but the Guys have a far greater variety (A-1, sauteed shrooms, etc., etc.) which they apply at no extra charge. (Nothing is "free", however, see pricing & value below).
The fries:
You tell me:
Five Guys (this photo illustrates less than half their "small" portion)
Both cut their own fries fresh in-house, blanch them, then fry them to finish right before serving. INO peels their potatos, the Guys do not and also cut a larger fry and serve a MUCH larger portion. The Guys fry in peanut oil, INO uses vegetable oil. The Guys' fries have a definite potato taste; INO's are kind of mealy. The "fry contest" is in fact "no contest". And the Guys even provide malt vinegar!
Price, FYI:
INO Double Double w/cheese, L/T/P/Sauce (4 oz. beef): $3.75 (and looks very pretty when served!)
Five Guys "regular" w/cheese and "you name it toppings" (6.6 oz. beef): $5.69
Five Guys "small burger" w/cheese and "you name it toppings" (3.3 oz beef): $3.75
INO Fries Regular: $1.75
INO Fries "animal-style" - regular size w/ sauteed onions & burger sauce: $3.30 (served w/ fork, thank you)
Five Guys "Small": $2.79 (more than twice the serving as INO,
malt vinegar is available!)
Bottom Line:
Both places beat the living snot out of McWendyKing and are excellent exemplars of American Entrepreneurship.

Even without the photos, you've done a good job on the reviews. Thanks Jim. We have a couple of '5 guys' in our area, but doing the sit-down thing for a burger is not a common practice for us. Wish we had an

as that was a long time favorite for my typical drive-thru on the way to somewhere else sort of lunch.
The only other close competitor for my business would be the

ADP-Glo™ Kinase Assay is a luminescent kinase assay that measures ADP formed from a kinase reaction; ADP is converted into ATP, which is converted into light by Ultra-Glo™ Luciferase. The luminescent signal positively correlates with kinase activity. The assay is well suited for measuring the effects chemical compounds have on the activity of a broad range of purified kinases, making it ideal for both primary screening as well as kinase selectivity profiling. The ADP-Glo™ Kinase Assay can be used to monitor the activity of virtually any ADP-generating enzyme (e.g., kinase or ATPase) using up to 1mM ATP.
The a...
Expand to Read More »
The assay is performed in two steps; first, after the kinase reaction, an equal volume of ADP-Glo™ Reagent is added to terminate the kinase reaction and deplete the remaining ATP. In the second step, the Kinase Detection Reagent is added, which simultaneously converts ADP to ATP and allows the newly synthesized ATP to be measured using a coupled luciferase/luciferin reaction (see figure).
The ADP-Glo™ Kinase Assay has a high dynamic range and produces a strong signal at low ATP to ADP conversion, making it well suited for screening low activity kinases such as growth factor receptor tyrosine kinases. The assay produces minimal false hits and Z´ values of greater than 0.8.
Several Kinase Enzyme Systems are available. Visit www.promega.com/kinase/ to see the collection.

"This vibrant, modern style is chic, eye catching, original, just like the couple getting married. I love the front/back of the card, the font and color combinations. I haven't quite decided on my invites yest, but these invitations make it harder to choose!"
"We chose this design for our invites, response cards, thank you cards, stickers and direction cards and are very happy. We picked the pearl shimmer paper which gives the invite a lovely glow. We asked the designer to change some of the font and got our names and the venues name start with capital letters but they look stunning either way! Also had them sent from California to Australia within 4 days. Very happy, good work."
"My husband LOVED this invite. The minute he saw it, he said, "thats it." I made him look at all the others in the sample box but in the end we found our invites! Beautiful card and I recommend getting it with the pearl finish."
"We loved this invitation, it will fit perfectly with our outdoor spring wedding. The paper is just like a watercolor paper so it looks like someone painted each invitation by hand. We requested that the type be made a little bigger and we were glad we did. They look great!"
"I personalized the invitation with simple black ink. I thought the text was beautiful and elegant and matched the simplicity of the wood grain and leaf pattern. The paper quality was great - the card is stiff and feels like a great paper. I upgraded to the rounded corners, which was a great decision!"

Elly Bookman '09 won the 2010 Stanley Kunitz Memorial Prize for her poem "Another Thing I'd Rather Not Know About Myself," which was featured on the back cover of the September/October 2010 American Poetry Review. "It's very unusual," said Assistant Professor of English (creative writing) and poet Adrian Blevins, who noted that most poets never make the feature page of APR, and that those who do usually appear much later in their careers.
The first-ever Kunitz prize, named after the American poet who died at age 100 in 2006, was presented to Bookman, who won Colby's Katherine Rogers Murray Prize for Original Poetry as a sophomore, according to Blevins. A native of Atlanta, Georgia, Bookman was enrolled in the highly regarded M.F.A. program at the University of North Carolina, Greensboro this fall.

Keeping track of all of your friends' and family's likes and dislikes can be tricky, even in the electronic age, so why not get back to basics and put it all down on paper? Would this book keep you organized when it's your turn to give, host, or feed?
Vote: Thumbs up!
With as many food allergies and dietary restrictions as my husband's side of the family has, as many nieces, nephews, in-laws and friends we have gifts to buy for, I seriously need this. This is genius!
Vote: Thumbs up!
Love this idea! Purchasing it would depend upon the price since it would be very easy to MAKE the same thing with a few printouts and a small binder. Fantastic item if it's affordable.
Vote: Thumbs down!
Why not keep the info on your computer or tablet? If the book was lost or damaged, you'd have no backup of your data!
Vote: Thumbs down!
In today's computer age?
Vote: Thumbs up!
Even though we have countless digital items, this would be a great gift for those of us who still appreciate paper. Also it would be cool to give it filled in already.
Vote: Thumbs up!
I love that it's made of paper and not some electronic device!
Vote: Thumbs down!
People's taste buds change every so often, so unless this journal comes with white out I'm not interested.
Vote: Thumbs up!
Good idea to have one place to record this type of information.
Vote: Thumbs down!
Limited appeal.
Vote: Thumbs up!
Would love to have this!
Vote: Thumbs up!
I think there are a few more categories than are really useful (as another commentor said, preferences change), but it would be very handy to have a listing of allergies and intolerances for people who cook frequently for friends and families or cater for the same people over and over.
Vote: Thumbs up!
A great idea to keep track of other people's likes and dislikes.
Vote: Thumbs up!
Love the idea of giving this as a gift with your own information already filled in!
Vote: Thumbs up!
This is a brilliant idea! I love it and would buy several.

Aviation Goes Green from the Ground on Up
Aviation is going green from ticketing to takeoff by modernizing equipment, reducing fuel consumption and exploring new technologies.
Technology is focused on developing more fuel-efficient engines, lighter planes and cleaner alternative fuels. Boeing's 787 Dreamliner and the Airbus A380 will be lighter, more fuel efficient and 30 percent quieter than the international noise standard. Singapore Airlines and Virgin Atlantic have invested in both. Lufthansa, British Airways and Air France have ordered the Airbus A380. Continental and Northwest Airlines are the only US carriers that have ordered the Boeing 787.
The first commercial jet flight test of a biofuel recently took place when Virgin Atlantic flew a passengerless Boeing 747 from London to Amsterdam using a biofuel derived from a sustainable source — palm oil and coconut oil — that doesn't compete with food or fresh water sources.
Operations include rethinking the way the business operates both as a corporation and a business — reducing emissions and waste created in ground operations and in the air. Airlines are recycling such things as motor oil and retired computers.
The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change estimates infrastructure improvements — including implementing Single European Sky (SES) and the US NextGen Air Transport System (NextGen) — could reduce aviation CO(-2) emissions by 12 percent. NextGen will replace the antiquated radar-based US Air Traffic Management system with satellite technology, which will enable planes to fly more as the crow flies — point to point to reduce fuel consumption and emissions. But NextGen cannot move forward until Congress passes the FAA 2007 reauthorization bill.
What can passengers do to reduce emissions from their flights?
- Pack lightly; take public transportation to the airport; take the most direct route possible (in Europe passengers combine air and high-speed rail for a more eco-friendly trip); fly airlines with newer, more fuel-efficient planes;
- Consider buying voluntary carbon offsets (you contribute funds toward an offset project to mitigate CO(-2) emissions from your flight). Many airlines and travel agencies now offer carbon offsets.

Could someone please help a newbie like me with these questions? Thanks!
2)Don't watch anything in standard mode as it's the energy saving mode and not for serious viewing. It will fluctuate.
3)I've heard of people saying they get IR in THX mode and switching away from that, it goes away.
4) I did a test on my ST30 with about 30hrs on it and after a few sessions I had IR from a white hud. A day or two later and it was gone with full screen viewing. So break it up a bit and inspect with the slides and you can come up with an idea of what it takes to get and remove IR.
5)I just watch everything using D-Nices settings. When gaming in custom mode you may want to reduce contrast a bit on a newer set, after you get some hours it gets better about IR. I don't like the look of game mode, seems unnatural.
6)No cats allowed in my house,lol Especially standard ones. Kidding aside Those two settings are going to change what the display shows and I like it more stable like the intention of the source.
8)Motion smoother can cause artifacts, when it's off you get none. Really no need for it most of the time.
9)when you are using the web is there a mostly white screen? When doing this you may be seeing the 60hz refresh rate flicker, common on all crt's and plasmas. A darker screen will show less of this effect.
Whew! Hope that helps

Get control of your private information!
We apologize, but the action alert you are attempting to access is no longer active.
Please consider taking action on other issues.
Guarantee that knee, equip that hip!
Tell the top manufacturers of artificial knees and hips to warranty their products! Since a faulty product requires painful surgery to replace, a twenty year warranty is the least we should be able to expect. Demand a 20 year warranty!
Watch this chilling video, then act!
We take antibiotics for granted. Strep throat, sinus infection, UTI a quick visit to the doctor, a prescription, and you're feeling better.
Trader Joe's: Watch this video and get our meat off drugs
Get our meat off drugs! A half-million consumer signatures are delivered to Trader Joe's flagship store asking for an end to antibiotic-raised meat. Watch what happens!
Reduce the 4-Mel in soft drinks and improve labeling!
Cola manufacturers already have caramel colors without this potentially cancer-causing chemical -- and they've already replaced it for consumers in California. Tell the FDA to reduce 4-Mel in all colas sold everywhere in the country.
Make sure you know what's been recalled!
Do you really know if the products in your home are safe?
Stop the Comcast-Time Warner Merger!
It's time we take a stand against huge corporations becoming behemoths, wiping out the competition and sticking it to those of us who have little choice to go elsewhere.
Stop the Comcast Merger!
Congress will hold public hearings on Comcast's grand plan to take over much of the nation's cable TV and Internet market. Let's use this opportunity to tell our elected officials in Washington, D.C., that we want this deal stopped cold!
Congress: Hold Comcast's feet to the fire!
Next week is the first public hearing on Comcast's grand plan to take over much of the nation's cable TV and Internet market. Let's use this opportunity to tell our elected officials in Washington, D.C., that we want this deal stopped cold!
Enough is Enough: No Comcast merger!
It's time we take a stand against huge corporations becoming behemoths, wiping out the competition and sticking it to those of us who have little choice to go elsewhere.
Cleaner Air: Let's get this done!
The Senate finally approved new EPA Administrator Gina McCarthy, and she has a huge agenda ahead of her. That includes a clean-car plan that is widely supported by health groups, cities, enviros even the auto industry.
What are they trying to hide?
The overwhelming majority of Americans want to know if your food is genetically engineered. Some 64 countries -- including China, Australia and the entire European Union already require GE foods be labeled.
Stop the end-run on your right to know!
The giant chemical and food processing industries are pulling out the stops to block your right to know. They're pushing a bill just introduced in the House that would block states from implementing their own labeling laws.
Demand your right to know!
If ever there was a time to stand up for your right to know what's in your food, it's now. Your state lawmakers are considering a bill to label genetically modified foods sold in the state.
Help spread the facts!
Your state lawmakers and state insurance commissioner have the ability to reach millions of residents who need the facts about the health care law. And you can show them how.
New Hampshire: What's in your food?
Send a message to let them know you have a right to know if genetically modified ingredients are in your food!
Only give drugs to SICK animals!
You know you need a doctor's prescription to get antibiotics. But anyone can buy these drugs for cows, chickens or pigs with no prescription or veterinary involvement required. They don't even have to be sick to be fed these drugs.
Publish your prices!
Tell hospitals to post their prices so we can all find the best service for the most competitive price.
Annoyed by Robocalls?
You have new rights, but your rights are only as good as enforcement. Tell the FCC to enforce new robocall rules!
Johnson & Johnson: Warranty your products!
Tell Johnson & Johnson to warranty their hip and knee products! After last week's multi-billion dollar settlement, thousands will get help--but now its time to implement a strong warranty for the future. Fewer lawsuits, greater accountability!
Get your FREE credit score!
We cleared the first hurdle by getting a bill introduced this week in the Senate to give consumers their credit scores for FREE. Now, we have to get it passed.
Don't be a turkey, Trader Joe's!
This Thanksgiving, it's your time to be thanked. Thanks to the actions you've taken emails, phone calls, hand-delivering flyers, telling your friends you've heightened the national debate about the urgent need to save our antibiotics
Vermont: Label GMO foods!
If you want to know if the food you're buying in Vermont has been genetically engineered, use your voice right now!
Don't let WA lawmakers hide your doctors' past!
Patients should have the right to check a doctor's disciplinary record, to make sure they are getting the care they deserve. But a bill that could be voted on this week in Washington that will make that harder.
Big banks: Don't push us around!
Account-closing fees are charged by six of 10 of the nation's largest retail banks, and are designed to keep you from moving your money. The big banks know if it costs you money to close an account, and it's an excruciatingly difficult process.
Chemical safety: Let's not do the Time Warp again!
The last time Congress updated the law that keeps dangerous chemicals out of household products, gas was 76 cents a gallon, Gerald Ford was president, and Charlie's Angels premiered on TV.
Stand up against Big Oil!
If we can dramatically reduce air pollution and help the environment for an extra penny per gallon of gas, wouldn't it be worth it?
Detergent pods shouldn't look like candy!
Tell the big manufacturers to stop making detergent pods that look like candy, and add a bittering agent so kids will quickly spit out anything they try to eat.
Food labels at risk in Farm Bill!
Have you noticed those new labels in your grocery that tell you where your beef, poultry and pork comes from? Well, your right to know could be stripped away this week during final negotiations of the giant Farm Bill.
