ECHS became the first collegiate high school in Southwest Florida and the state's only collegiate high school to incorporate ninth graders when it opened its doors in August of 2009.
Located on the Charlotte Campus of Edison State College, ECHS, governed by the ESC Board of Trustees, is designed to provide students of all ability levels an opportunity to graduate with both a high school diploma and an Associate of Arts (AA) degree.
ECHS students enjoy a college environment along with a vast array of resources provided by ESC while also maintaining the traditional elements of high school life. And as Charlotte County's only Charter school, ECHS is free to students.
The inaugural class of ECHS students was given the task of selecting the school's mascot and colors. After discussing options, the endangered Florida Panther was chosen. School colors of blue, black and white are reflected in school publications.

Online registration is now open for this year's two NCAA Regional Rules Seminars – the Association's primary annual gatherings for campus personnel involved in rules compliance.
The seminars will be May 16-20 in Tucson, Ariz., and June 6-10 in Tampa, Fla. (both are Monday-Friday). Attendees can register to attend the event and reserve lodging in those cities through the NCAA website.
Complete schedules and descriptions of a broad array of sessions also are posted online. They indicate another varied mix of Association-wide and division-specific programming.
The seminars will retain their primary focus as a place where attendees can gain knowledge about NCAA legislation, compliance matters and programs while mingling with and learning from colleagues from other schools. Regional Rules Seminars benefit not only institutional and conference compliance administrators but also faculty athletics representatives and personnel involved in areas such as eligibility certification, financial aid and academic advising.
This year's seminars figure to meet members' needs even more because of new formats being introduced based on membership feedback. Foremost are "roundtable sessions" in several Division I segments throughout the seminars that foster more interaction and sharing of best practices than before when sessions were structured in a classroom setting.
"Participants said they wanted a more interactive environment in which to exchange ideas with other members as well as NCAA staff," said Lynn Holzman, NCAA director of academic and membership affairs. "It is clear that members want to gain more knowledge by sharing ideas rather than just hearing about them in an instructional, lecture-based setting."
Also new this year is an "amateurism summit" on Wednesday for Divisions I and II. Given the recent and heightened attention to agents and amateurism rules, NCAA officials thought it would be pertinent to have compliance experts engage in more in-depth education and discussions involving NCAA staff members (including NCAA Eligibility Center staff members) and institutional athletics administrators regarding amateurism hot topics.
Included are case studies in which participants are actively engaged in all phases of a pre- and post-enrollment amateurism review, including fact gathering, application of NCAA legislation, student-athlete reinstatement and other various appellate opportunities available throughout the process
Among other sessions of interest:
Each location will again offer division-specific segments, including a choice in each city of two segments for Division I attendees: Monday morning through Tuesday afternoon, or Wednesday afternoon through Friday morning.
The session descriptions indicate a few programs for which attendees are being asked prepare by using an online video-on-demand feature to learn about topics. Meanwhile, session materials will be available online only again this year, enabling participants to download them to personal computers before traveling to seminar sites and to support the NCAA's "green" efforts.
While much about this year's Regional Rules Seminars has changed, the essential structure remains, including the Monday-through-Friday schedule and the special segment on Wednesday. Dates for the Division I segments in Tucson are May 16-17 and May 18-20 (ending by mid-day Friday), and those segments follow the same schedule in Tampa – June 6-7 and June 8-10.
The Division II segments will be May 18-20 in Tucson and June 8-10 in Tampa, and the Division III segments will be May 16-17 in Tucson and June 6-7 in Tampa.
The seminars also have retained such recently developed features as "tracks" of programming that target levels of experience or areas of expertise – including for the fourth straight year an invitation-only advanced program for Division I compliance administrators with extensive experience in that area.
In all, the seminars continue to be positioned as the premier event that the NCAA offers for the compliance community.
"We are listening to the membership and providing the programming that compliance people say they need for them to be more effective as compliance administrators," Holzman said.

Listen to "On the ground where we live"
from the CD:
Masterworks of the New Era
One of my clearest childhood memories is the sense of joy and excitement I felt at summer band when I was eleven years old, taking my trombone every day on the city bus downtown to transfer to another part of Seattle where I spent all day, every day, immersed in music: singing in a choir for the first time, learning rudimentary music theory, and playing in the concert band. It was magical. When I was even younger, my sister had taught me to play piano, and before I entered high school I started writing songs – as naturally as I painted, sang and wrote poems. My life has been rich in many forms of artistic expression, but music has always been the most rewarding – when music works it touches me more deeply than any other medium. All forms of art address the loneliness of human existence, providing connection to the artist and assurance that we are not alone on this vast and bewildering planet, but for me music has the most power to reach us, to heal us, and to bring us together. This is why I have always considered the composer to be one of my key identities.
In my work, I have been inspired by the pop music of the 1960's, especially the literate singer-songwriters (Dylan, Cohen, and later Springsteen), the creators of the Broadway musicals (Richard Rogers, Frederick Loewe, Lionel Bart), the big orchestral composers (Tchaikovsky, Shostakovich, Sibelius, Barber), opera composers (Puccini, Britten, Daniel Catán) and innumerous choral composers (Monteverdi, Gesualdo, Britten, William Hawley, Morten Lauridsen). Of these, the biggest influence has probably been Leonard Bernstein, who not only composed in a wide variety of genres, but was also a brilliant conductor and articulate speaker – his Harvard lectures call me back time and again.
Having spent my young adulthood focused primarily on earning a living (with a "job," not a "career"), I have been fortunate to be able to devote an increasing amount of my time over the past fifteen years to music, and I now compose full time. I am immensely grateful that we have emerged from the bleak dark ages of the mid-twentieth-century, when music with any beauty or dramatic arc was sneered upon as dated and without merit. The greatest challenge I face in my creative process is to make something new and interesting while giving the work a coherent shape and emotional resonance. The greatest gratification I feel from performances of my work is when listeners tell me that my music has touched their hearts.
Greg Bartholomew's music is frequently performed across the United States and in Canada, Australia and Europe by such highly regarded instrumental ensembles as Third Angle New Music Ensemble, the Alaska Brass, and the Aeolian Winds of Pittsburgh, as well as such acclaimed choral ensembles as Seattle Pro Musica, the Oratorio Society of Minnesota, Connecticut Choral Artists (CONCORA) and Austin Vocal Arts.

Commissioned by the Oregon Bach Festival Composer's Symposium in commemoration of George Crumb's 75th birthday, the String Trio for George Crumb is available on the Langroise Trio's CD Volante. MUSICWEB INTERNATIONAL says, "You will enjoy this work immensely and want to hear more by this "youthful" (50 years old!) composer."
On the Ground Where We Live, for full orchestra, was recorded by the Czech Philharmonic for the Masterworks of the New Era CD series (volume ten). Musician Jose Varela of Madrid, Spain, writes: "On the Ground Where We Live is a real classic with wonderful melodies and masterly composition."
The First Suite from Razumov for clarinet and string quartet, recorded by members of the Kiev Philharmonic, has been released on the Masterworks of the New Era CD series (volume six). James Maclean says on amazon.com: The Suite "manages to capture the complexity of the setting in a way that is fresh, portraying a sense of sorrow and, at the end of each movement, a soaring sense of hope that is somehow fitting and certainly fulfilling."
Bartholomew's choral setting of excerpts from Kofi Annan's Nobel Peace Prize Lecture, The 21st Century (A Girl Born in Afghanistan), is available on CD from Connecticut Choral Artists (CONCORA).

Colin Kaepernick, the 49ers' erstwhile backup quarterback, is the latest pothole in Alex Smith's career path. Kaepernick's success dominance, really against the Chicago Bears on Monday night was tonic for fans worried about what the Bears' well-regarded defense might do to an inexperienced sub.
It also guarantees that Smith's position as the 49ers' leader is no longer secure.
The adage that an injured starting player should reclaim his job after recovering is getting little love. Smith, held out Monday because of a concussion he suffered the previous week against St. Louis, by tradition would expect to be back under center when doctors clear him to play. But the idea of replacing Smith with Kaepernick has real support.
While Smith has yet to be cleared to play, there are conflicting reports that coach Jim Harbaugh has decided to start Kaepernick regardless of how Smith is feeling.
If that's true and Kaepernick falters against the Saints, pressure to make him the permanent starter drops, even though his athletic tools look top of the line. If he again excels, he could be The Man by acclamation, regardless of old-school rules of fairness.
Harbaugh is capable of making the switch. He professed his undying fealty to Smith after the 2011 season, then tried to persuade Peyton Manning to come lead the 49ers this season.
Harbaugh's bottom line, clearly, has nothing to do with loyalty to any one player and everything to do with finding the best quarterback available.
Smith might be that guy, but he has to prove it all over again.

Jackall Cherry Crankbait Zero Footer 56 - $14.99
The Jackall Cherry Zero is one of the latest top-of-the-line Japanese hard baits to reach the U.S. Jackall baits are created using the latest materials and design technology. The prototype of each of these lures is designed on a computer to generate a 3D image. The image is then cut into the actual bait in a matter of minutes. This process allows Jackall to get the lure from idea to design to creation much faster, enabling them to get the baits into the hands of their pro staff in a matter of days or hours. This gives Jackall a great advantage; they are able to tweak a lure to perfection and present it for sale much faster than their competitors. Jackall is raising bass fishing to a whole new level with this sophisticated technology and their new materials and designs.
The exciting Cherry Zero crankbait features tough finishes and exciting paint schemes that make bass want to bite. Cherry 0 runs just under the surface. The wake it creates, along with the multi-ballbearing rattle and fast wobble, attract bass lurking under pads, around stumps, buried in the grass, and in other shallow cover.
|Cherry (56)

Comments: One of the best shallow water cranks out there, has nice little hunting action.
From: Robert: Battle Creek ,MI
Comments: an absolute blast to fish! Fish really smash this thing when waked on top whether early or just close to shade banks.
From: Dean: Newalla, OK
Comments: As good as the Ima Roumba, but in a smaller package. It is a bass magnet. Extra wide wobble and prominent wake. Great build, hooks and finish. High recommened. Great for very shallow water or fishing over weed beds.
From: Rowland: Newport News, VA
Comments:This little Jackall Cherry Zero is the hottest lure in my box and there are some 200 crankbaits in there. 1foot 2feet 3feet or over weeds the bass just cream it. Careful the Pike also like them which why I am ordering more.

effort; and at this time of year. What is Maria going to do now? She's just flapping in the wind. She was
reportedly paying Jimmy $20,000 U.S. a week. Ouch! Maybe Max will step in and pick up a racquet. As
much as I care about her, perhaps some tough love is in order. A spanking? Just sayin'.
Well, She knows how to make things exciting isn't she? It's better to stop now then later. I'm sure many people will jump on her and blame her from leaving Tom. I thought about it and let me tell you something, Tom is a good coach and certainly not the best one. However, he did a great job with Maria and helped her being the best on clay, no doubt but give Maria credits as well. Tom has coached Li Na, IMO a great tennis player but didn't do much as a result, right?
The question is who is a GOOD coach that WILL be able to help Maria to step up her game and beat Serena and who is available right now? Plus who will be able the coach to have the ability to convince Maria to adapt changes? IMO, it's not easy coahching a CHAMP!
I wouldn't be surprised to see Michael Joyce back for this year.
Maria has put in, nor the pain she has endured. She is faster, quicker and her foot-work has improved
immensely. Michael Joyce? Ya think? Maybe think "b'in there, done that". Maybe she has to diversify
her game. Serve and volley? That might throw some off. Unless she bulks up, she will never have the
power (I don't think) to beat williams. Don't forget, that lithe and sinewy body is part of her overall
package. Change that at her peril. So whom do we pick for her? Hmmmm.....
I don't have a effin' CLUE what she'll do next.
I'll volunteer to deliver that spanking, however.
Hey, do THIS: lez get Yuri back in the mix.
I find it's best to think when I'm still dizzy, either that, or start with the table saw.
$20,000 per week? Ouch.An experiment? That's as far as I've read so bear with me.Then I saw the word 'Yuri' and 'tough love'.I'm gonna find out what the hell's going on here. To be honest Yuri has been lurking in my mind since the Sloan match. I just didn't want to actually say it. He probably knows more about her than anyone, including herself. The whole banana thing was blown all out of proportion, and I only heard about the throat slashing gesture while doing research on Central American cartels. To be honest, I was never sure why they split...
I must take a sawdust break, or maybe stare at the sun until my mind clears.
I know she was constructing a puzzle, the other night, and later on, playing 'Sequence', after the match. I was having trouble just looking at the board game. The design was bugging my eyes. After that, she tweeted something about a game called 'Pigs' being exciting, or fun....and I was like...she needs me...she's asking for help. I used a proxy server to look up the 'Pigs' game. Then I realized she is sitting around the table with her family, her blood relations, and I was about to tweet something about playing 'Twister', using coconut oil, but only if you're on the plane. Now I feel like such a fool.
That she likes winning more than she hates losing, is a vital concern. I can tell you that there are places where this sort of thinking is damning. Such as in a casino.
In a gambling environment, one must never become mentally agitated about anything. Excitation=entrainment of impulses, exactly like coke. And the entrained gambler will stop at nothing, so to gain these mental delights. If one becomes mentally entrained, when winning, then it will all be over in very short order. You can bet your orange panties and everything inside them on that. Many a European prince sought a landed American belle, because they had lost everything, except their title. Such are the ways of a house edge, no matter how much wealth is exposed to it.
She is better off, if she must find herself flustered about an outcome, to be more annoyed by losing, than excited by winning. She will leave the casino early, with her flesh and soul intact. It'd be better to not have to gamble at all.
I included this gambling fugue because professional athletics are saturated with temptations. The doping. The lab enhancements that cannot be detected and are certainly within reach of anyone with a lot of cash and a little know how. The psychological, and physical, terpalitum. In the long run, these attractions will cause harm; somewhere, someone, will become hurt.
'Buy money', so to speak.
The dark underbelly. The things we do for it. With it.
The only thing that I am certain about, regarding Maria, is that she is most certainly spending time here.
Her eyes are looking at this thread.
So I must posit this question: What will it cost you...to have Yuri back?
Time to cut some wood.
I can see you now, Paul, with paddle in hand, salivating.
Maybe we could bring Vlad in. He seems to be able to handle a shotgun. Perhaps he's picked up
a racquet on occasion. Work with Maria? All for the good of the country, you know...
"STUPID" was my first reaction when she dropped Thomas...was i wrong?
(The president might consider guest-coaching if she plays Кубок Кремля in Moscow in the fall. Hey, invite Edward Snowden to the tribune--just to piss people off. LOL)

"It is unclear whether Sharapova will try to hire a coach prior to the U.S. Open, which starts in 10 days, or work with an interim coach. She could ask one of her regular hitting partners, such as former Wimbledon semifinalist Vladimir Voltchkov, to assume that role.
"The third-ranked Russian will likely work with her father this week while she's in Florida, but he has not traveled with her since she underwent shoulder surgery in October of 2008 so it's questionable as to whether he would want to coach her again at a tour event."
Yet, USO is what's on the table, and was it not Yuri who coached her when she WON it?
I suddenly love this new drama!!!
I don't like this new drama at all ! Keep in mind that an other summer went down the drain and there are only 3 years left before career end. No time for experiments. It's time for winning tournaments and Slam results. Don't see daddy coming back . He is not in for traveling anymore. How about Navratilova??
Paul, there's no chance of her training with her father in Florida. Read the Homepage bullshit about Sugarpova. She's opening an accessory store for Sugarpova rubbish in New York on Tuesday, so she'll need to be there on Monday. Wednesday, sleep off the evening and then PR shit with Nike and Head. Practice...who's got time to practice. And right there, my friend, is the major problem. She has lost complete sight of her priorities...or has she? No Trainer will take her on as things are. They know what she is like. Thomas did well to put up with her moodiness and crap for 3 years, and making up all the rubbish about being injured so she had time for all her other stuff.
It's almost gone full circle now. It's time the Press stopped treating her with kid gloves and started asking some hard questions and getting straight answers not her usual crap. She's a big girl now...or at least she thinks she is.
Grigor's people are the third option considered by Matt Cronin, who usually* has the best intel available--along with Yuri & Vladimir Voltchkov. If not Yuri, I would opt for Vlad. As Philli raises, however, Vlad is also a serious professional--and that's the question, isn't it? Are we still being serious here or not?
*I've seen Cronin talk trash, but not often.

Well another year and another draft where the Raiders are picking high. Except this time they are picking first. Boy it seems like just yesterday the raiders were the dominant team in the AFC west. But the times have changed and the Raiders are ready for rebirth under new head coach Lane Kiffen. And no I do not care at all that Kiffen is only 31 years of age it is totally irrelevant to the offensive football knowledge that he brings to the table for the Oakland Raiders.
But to the point now of the NFL draft. It is no mystery that Jamarcus Russell is the sexy pick for the Raiders in 2007. I can argue this choice both ways and I will. The pros of picking a player like Russell are he will be a franchise QB for years to come. His size and arm strength make him just the player the Raiders are looking for and since all offenses are built around the QB it would make sense for them to pick one.
The cons to picking Russell are there will be a maturation process like with any NFL QB coming from college. The only problem is no one knows how long that will be. Secondly it doesn't matter how good Russell is if he doesn't have an offensive line that can hold its own (hint Joe Thomas).
But of course the Raiders already invested a first round pick in a supposed hall of fame offensive tackle named Robert Gallery which has turned into a Hall of Fame mistake. I don't know if trying that again would be worth while for immediate results which are what the Raiders are looking for.
This leads me to the man that could be the best choice for the Raiders in 2007. Calvin Johnson the 6'5'' Wide Receiver from Georgia Tech. Now we all know the Raiders have Randy Moss but he has voiced a lot of unhappiness with the new head coach and the team. Moss really has no place to complain with his performance in 2006 so trade him for all I care. I think it would benefit both parties. I think the receiving trio of Johnson, Porter, and Whitted sounds pretty dangerous no matter who the QB is. And Andrew Walter is a capable QB when he is given time to make decisions in the pocket which I think you will have a hard time arguing.
Both Calvin Johnson and Jamarcus Russell would make an immediate impact for the Raiders in 07 it will be interesting to see what they do in the first round. You never know what good old Al Davis has up his sleeve.

All of you idiots insisting Dreamworks needs to sue Blizzard should probably do a little homework so you don't come off quite as asinine as did in these posts.
Pandaren monks were in Warcraft 3, which came out in 2002 and predates the Dreamworks movie by quite some time. So technically it could be the other way around, Blizzard suing Dreamworks.

´Just Living Together´: Implications of cohabitation for fathers' participation in child care in Western Europe
|Date received:
|16 Mar 2009
|Date published:
|27 Aug 2010
|Word count:
|cohabitation, ECHP, Europe, gender division of child care
This article tests the assumption that cohabitation makes a difference in the allocation of child care responsibilities within couples. It has often been presumed that cohabiting individuals are less likely to adhere to traditional gender ideology than married persons, because they tend to have a lower tolerance for poorly functioning relationships, assign more value to individual freedom and base their relationship on egalitarian individualism rather than on the joint utility maximization of married couples. So far, however, most studies have focused on the determinants and consequences of being in cohabitation and have overlooked its gender implications.
Here we explore whether fathers in consensual unions are more prone than fathers in marital unions to share childcare responsibilities with their female partners. We use multilevel regression models for panel data to analyse ECHP in the period between 1996 and 2001. Our sample included around 13,000 couples living in heterosexual partnerships with small children (at least one child below age 13), and yielded around 45,000 observations over this period of time in ten Western European nations. We found weak evidence of the influence of cohabitation on gender equality as compared to married couples, while discovering that the diffusion of cohabitation at the societal level is associated with more equal allotment of child care among partners.

LINCOLN — Nebraska's focus on fundamentals during the bye week won't be exclusive to a struggling defense.
The offense has to be thinking about ball security, which was a focus through preseason practice because of the problems a year ago. This season, the Huskers have 11 fumbles through four games, losing five.
Two of those belong to I-back Ameer Abdullah, who has lost one each of the last two games.
"We're getting back to the basics — squeezing, locking the back door," he said. "(It's) just getting careless. A lot of times fumbles come when you're not focused on the ball necessarily. But we should always be conscientious of things like that, and that's what this week is for."
Abdullah banged up his shoulder Saturday against South Dakota State on the hit that caused his fumble. But the junior has been at practice and said he's fine.
Martinez sits out practice
Nebraska coach Bo Pelini said quarterback Taylor Martinez remains out and "has not practiced the last couple days" with a turf toe injury. Martinez left the practice field Wednesday in a T-shirt and shorts while his teammates worked out in full pads and scrimmaged.
On Tuesday, Pelini said on the Big Ten teleconference that Martinez — in his fourth year as a starter — wouldn't practice or play until he's "100 percent."
Wide receiver Quincy Enunwa, the Huskers' top pass-catching target this season, has a sore knee and did not practice.
"If we had a game, he would have played," Pelini said. Wide receiver Kenny Bell was also seen without pads Wednesday.
Pelini said defensive tackle Thad Randle — seen limping a bit during the South Dakota State game — is fine.
Safety, LB spots still open
Nebraska has tried both Harvey Jackson and Andrew Green in the safety position opposite Corey Cooper, and defensive coordinator John Papuchis said "that spot's open" Wednesday. NU also has Charles Jackson and LeRoy Alexander available.
But Papuchis added that the evaluations at safety are no different from other spots.
"Truth be told, when you're where we are right now, there's no one that I feel like should just assume that they're the guy," Papuchis said. "Because, to this point, we haven't played well enough defensively for anyone to feel that way."
Meanwhile, the competition continues for the starting jobs at linebacker.
And it might be that way for some time, assistant Ross Els said.
No one's emerged yet. Sophomore David Santos was taking reps with the first team at middle linebacker Wednesday. Junior Zaire Anderson (at weakside linebacker) "played well" against South Dakota State, the linebacker coach said.
But Santos and Anderson both began Nebraska's last game on the bench. Freshmen Josh Banderas and Nate Gerry have started. Redshirt freshmen Michael Rose and Jared Afalava are in the mix, as well, especially since the Huskers could play some of their 4-3 base defense against Illinois next week.
"It's just a continuous rotation, and it will be probably the whole season," Els said.
He did indicate that Nebraska would like to have a little more clarity by the beginning of next week, though.
"I think we need to narrow it down a little bit and figure out the guys at least we think are going to start off the game," Els said.
Armstrong staying grounded
Nebraska offensive lineman Spencer Long said it's been the same old Tommy Armstrong at practice this week after the redshirt freshman made his first start Saturday, playing well against South Dakota State.
And Long said he didn't expect to see anything different confidence-wise from Armstrong or fifth-year senior Ron Kellogg after they took the snaps for injured quarterback Taylor Martinez against the Jackrabbits.
"I think they knew they could do it before it even happened," Long said. "They're both good quarterbacks."
Long said Armstrong showed the same attitude in the huddle that he does during the week in practices. He completed 12 of 15 passes for 169 yards and a touchdown, and also ran five times for 38 yards.
"You always wonder how the lights or the crowd are going to get to a guy, but Tommy's a confident guy," Long said. "And we knew it. He plays that way. I was proud of him, the way he came out and ran our offense and was poised."

5 Ways to Fight Flatulence
How to get control of your gas.
"Bloating" is the No. 1 complaint I encounter in my clinical practice, and I spend a lot of time trying to match up foods and symptoms in order to hunt down the culprit. Is it digestive intolerance to lactose or fructose? Could it signal celiac disease?
More often than not, however, bloating doesn't signal anything pathological or suggest something nefarious is lurking within. Rather, it's the result of your standard, garden-variety intestinal gas.
Intestinal gas (flatus) is a completely normal phenomenon. It's mostly the result of bacterial fermentation in your gut: When friendly intestinal bacteria digest foods that you can't, they release gasses like hydrogen or methane as a byproduct. Generally, bacteria digest carbohydrate foods – sugars, starches and especially fiber. (If you've ever followed a very low-carb diet, you may have noticed that suddenly, the amount of gas you produced took a nosedive.) The average person produces between half a liter and a liter and a half of flatus daily.
Understanding that a normal amount of gas is an expected side effect of feeding your inner allies helps paint it in a positive light: It means you're nourishing the bacteria living in your gut, who repay the favor by treating you to all sorts of health benefits.
[Read: Tending Your Inner Ecosystem.]
But on crowded commuter trains, first dates or presentations to your boss, even normal intestinal gas can be socially problematic. For people with Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS), even normal amounts of flatus can be extremely uncomfortable; that's because hypersensitivity to even minor distension of the intestinal passageways is a hallmark of this condition. Regardless of your reason, if you're looking to reduce your tendency toward gas without compromising the healthfulness of your diet, here are a few tricks of the trade that may help:
1. Soak or rinse your beans: Beans and legumes – like lentils, chickpeas, black beans and soybeans – contain medium carbohydrate chains called galacto-oligosachharides (GOS) whose bonds cannot be broken by human digestive enzymes. Various types of GOS, such as raffinose and stachyose, arrive to the colon intact and result in a feeding frenzy among your resident bacteria.
[Read: Beans: The Undervalued Superfood.]
GOS, however, are water-soluble. That means when beans soak in water, some of these carbs leach out. For canned beans, tossing the canning liquid and rinsing the beans well before use may help reduce their GOS load. For dry beans and lentils, soaking for a few hours before cooking may have a similar effect. Research suggests that at least 25 percent of GOS are removed when discarding dry beans' soaking water. Therefore, if you cook dry beans or lentils directly in a soup or chili, the gassy carbs will be retained in the final product.
2. Puree your cruciferous veggies: Cabbage, broccoli, cauliflower and Brussels sprouts are among the most nutritious vegetables one could eat – and research suggests it may be ideal to consume them at least three times per week. Unfortunately, for many, these can be among the gassiest veggies; as a result, they choose to avoid them altogether.
If you love these veggies but find their after-effects too uncomfortable to bear, try them in the form of a cooked and pureed soup or side dish. Pureeing increases the surface area of food particles, increasing contact with your digestive enzymes as the food travels through your GI tract and increasing its absorbability. As a result, there's less residue arriving to the colon to feed your gut bacteria – and less opportunity for flatulence.
3. Bring on the Beano: If you like your broccoli intact, however, there's a plan B: Take an enzyme supplement called alpha-galactosidase – popularly marketed as Beano. Alpha-galactosidase is an enzyme derived from mold (!) that's required to break down the type of fiber found in beans and gassy veggies like cabbage, broccoli and cauliflower. (Humans don't produce this enzyme ourselves.) Taking a few of these enzyme pills along with your first bites of gassy veggies may help you pre-digest their fiber before your gut bacteria can get to them.
4. Add your own fiber: Most fiber-fortified or reduced-calorie cereals, granolas, energy bars and breads contain a fibers called inulin (aka chicory root extract). Inulin is known as a "prebiotic" fiber: a carbohydrate that arrives largely intact to the colon and stimulates the growth and health-promoting activity of your gut's resident bifidobacteria and lactobacilli populations.
[Read: Is All Fiber Created Equal?]
In other words, prebiotics are, by definition, destined for fermentation. But a little prebiotic fiber goes a long way; a few grams per day is probably sufficient to reap its benefits. Available research suggests that healthy people experience excessive gas in doses ranging from 5 to 10 grams per day of inulin (depending on the type). By way of context, popular high-fiber cereals and bars can contain anywhere from 5 to 14 grams of fiber per serving, the vast majority of which comes from inulin.
Since not all fibers are as rapidly fermentable as prebiotic fiber, you may be more comfortable fortifying your diet with fiber-rich foods of your own choosing. If your fiber-fortified cereal is making you miserable, choose unadulterated bran flakes or cooked oat bran paired with fresh blueberries; add chia seeds to yogurt or smoothies; or sprinkle ground flaxseeds on your steel-cut oatmeal, and have it with raspberries. Similarly, skip the fiber-fortified energy bars in favor of a handful of a high-fiber snack like pistachios and a pear.
If you remain interested in the benefits of prebiotics, but tolerance is an issue, try getting it in the more modest doses that occur naturally in veggies like jicama, asparagus, onion, leeks and garlic rather than from the mega-doses commonly found in processed foods.
5. Fall in love with fennel: If you've ever dined at an Indian restaurant, you may have noticed a small bowl filled with seeds by the cashier – either plain or candy-coated. These are fennel seeds, a natural flatulence-fighter that South Asians have traditionally used to improve digestive tolerance of nutritious staples like beans, lentils and cauliflower. Chewing a pinch of fennel seeds after a gassy meal – or crushing seeds and steeping them in boiling water to make a tea – can help reduce the uncomfortable side effects of veggie-heavy meals.

Le joli mai's professed goal was identical to that of Chronicle: Marker and Lhomme wanted to use emerging technology to capture the essence of Paris at a decisive moment. May 1962 saw France nearing the end of a brutal eight-year war with Algeria, which was trying to gain its independence after more than 100 years of French colonization. The conflict had brought France to the brink of collapse: while gridlock and dissent had poisoned the political process, the French army's tacit sanction of torture had seriously called into question the republic's moral foundations.
Marker and Lhomme's film takes place after the negotiation of ceasefire accords, during a "first springtime of peace." which found France highly uneasy. The country's image of itself was in question, but its cities and suburbs were also physically changing. The government was in the midst of the most radical attempts to restructure Paris since the 19th century, tearing down whole neighborhoods and forcibly relocating their inhabitants.
Le joli mai registers these pivotal changes. Marker and Lhomme shot 55 hours of rushes which were then shaped into a coherent story. The French version of Le joli mai was just over two-and-a-half hours long, and the print that initially circulated in the U.S. more than 30 minutes shorter. The restored version includes much previously missing material:
• Two Babar-conscious architects imagining creative alternatives to modern housing;
• An interview regarding the French army's reliance on torture;
• A target-practice encounter with students from prestigious prep school Janson de Sailly;
• A folk concert at the Théâtre Mouffetard with Agnès Varda, Armand Gatti and Alain Resnais in attendance.
Marker's light touch wove this material into a broader aggregate of pants salesmen and wedding guests, astronauts and owls. The idea was less to strike a balance between perspectives than to imagine how the different voices fit together. In showing architects, new housing projects or a nightclub of Parisians learning how to Madison, Le joli mai is really exploring how individuals relate to one other. The film deals with the unresolved tensions of the war, but it is also a forceful defense of an idea of community.
Although they start on top of the Eiffel Tower, Marker and Lhomme prefer working at street level, and if they are attentive to the problems plaguing modern Paris, they also focus on the generosity, the lucidity and the idiosyncratic beauty of the changing city. This new restoration makes the film's core values—its interest in the social, its desire for dialogue, its political conscience—clearer than ever.

A new film by the director of PARIS IS BURNING, EARTH CAMP ONE is about grief, a hippie summer camp in the 1970s, and the afterlife.
I began Earth Camp One because I had an experience – losing four family members in five years. I became aware -- viscerally -- that, in our culture, we don't know how to deal with loss, much less how to talk to one another about it. It's as if death itself has become "shameful and forbidden," writes Joan Didion. At heart, Earth Camp One is about the very American problem of discomfort with discomfort.
Earth Camp One is a first-person family story, also an essay, spanning thirty years. There is great work that negotiates this territory (books: Persepolis, Fun Home, The Year of Magical Thinking, A Heartbreaking Work of Staggering Genius; films: The Gleaners and I, That's My Face, Sherman's March, Connected. (And many more.) Like these works, Earth Camp One is neither therapy nor diary; it's an expansive and deeply humorous trip around the outer edges of what it means to be alive and human. My intention in making Earth Camp One is to encourage a conversation about loss and impermanence, the way my film Paris is Burning encouraged a conversation about class, gender, race, sex, and the construction of identity that's still going on in theaters, on television and in university courses 20 years after that film's release.
"To lose one parent may be regarded as a misfortune; to lose both looks like carelessness." –Oscar Wilde, The Importance of Being Earnest
In the 1970s, I went to a hippie summer camp, Earth Camp One. There were geodesic domes and yoga and organic gardens, but, fueled by a health crisis at home, I was a neurotic mess. When we backpacked in Lassen Volcanic Park, I was certain the dormant volcanoes were about to erupt. Years later, the volcanoes have ERUPTED. In 1996, my mom and grandmother -- Myra Cohn Livingston and Gertrude Cohn -- died within months of each other; in 1998 my uncle, and film mentor -- Alan J. Pakula -- died in a freak accident on the Long Island Expressway; and in 2000 my brother Jonas -- my first best friend -- died in a drug accident. We spend years leaving our families to become who we are. Who do we become when they leave us?
Through narration; archival film and audio; interviews; and animation (about different conceptions of the afterlife) the film takes the viewer on a journey that, like it or not, is the journey we're all on. The film asks surprising questions, like whether or not dead peoples' stuff matters; and whether anxiety and fear actually create ill luck. From my own experience, from the successes of some of the works named above, and from our Earth Camp One work-in-progress screenings, it's clear that people need to talk about this subject; from personal questions (like, how do we live with loss?) to the political (if we are all vulnerable, what do we owe other people and nations?)
It's hard to believe, but just as certain kinds of dramatic films (broad comedy, action-adventure, films about Harry Potter) are easily "green-lit" by Hollywood studios, it's also true that funders favor particular kinds of documentaries. Currently there's an emphasis on historical or biographical films, and on social issues or environmental documentaries focused on achieving "measurable impact."
As the director and producer of Paris is Burning, a documentary that's motivated more than one generation of queer activists and thinkers, I'm all for films that encourage people to act. But it's surprising that just as social media and the blogosphere are revitalizing first-person storytelling (in ways that run from irritating to brilliant), first-person stories, in film, are a tremendous challenge to make. Companies, foundations, and investors fear that a work that's "personal" is, by definition, not relevant to audiences or to broader social goals. In this way, film is trailing behind both conventional and Internet publishing; as when, thirty years ago, a memoir not written by a movie star or president was unlikely to find a publisher. Back then, the literary and commercial successes of best-selling memoirs by authors like Dave Eggers and Marjane Satrapi were unimaginable.
So far, Earth Camp One has received support from the Guggenheim Foundation, Netflix, Chicken & Egg, the French American Charitable Trust, and many generous individuals. Having successfully raised a significant portion of the budget, we're determined to push the project to the next level. Your support will allow us to move from having shot lots of footage, edited several sample assemblies, and made several animation tests, to get to a ROUGH CUT, the stage of the edit where the story becomes a story. I'm immensely grateful to friends, companies, organizations, and to all kinds of individuals and support networks who've made the film possible so far. Without people who say, "Please, make something I haven't seen before!" films like this one won't come to life. That's the beauty of crowd-sourcing and Kickstarter.
Crowd-sourcing is about knowing and trusting that by making creative projects possible, people get the pleasure of making the world a better and smarter place; we (I say "we" because the Earth Camp One team and I have supported several campaigns on Kickstarter!) get the joy of knowing we are an essential part of that process; and, by pressing "send" (I didn't make this up, I read it in the Times) we get the same rush of endorphins that accompanies exercise, chocolate, and sex.
Kickstarter is a new way to fund creative ideas and ambitious endeavors. The website is powered by a unique all-or-nothing funding method where projects must be fully funded or no money changes hands. In other words, if Earth Camp One doesn't raise its goal of $40,000, we get nothing. The reason for this is to be certain our goal is achievable, and to encourage you to do everything in your power to get us there! Once we have reached the goal we will contact you to get you the incentives (visible to your right) you will have earned by pledging.
Yes. Once you donate to the campaign, you may want to change your incentive reward to a different one, or increase your pledge amount. To do so, go to Kickstarter and sign in. If you go to our campaign page, the green "Back This Project" button has been replaced with a blue "Manage Your Donation" button. Click it and you can enter a new amount, or choose a new incentive.
Yes! Exceeding the goal would help us immensely.
The Earth Camp One Kickstarter campaign will allow my creative partners and I to move from having sample assemblies, a huge amount of footage, and animation tests, to ROUGH CUT STAGE. It will give us the time and resources to focus on storytelling, editing, and animation; it will allow us to hire an editor, to shoot our last interviews, and to find animation partners. Every penny will be used to actually make the film.
But to complete a film, there's more. Creating all the drawings and frames for animation, arriving at a fine cut, purchasing music and music rights, a sound mix, etc., all cost money, and although we don't expect to raise the full amount here on Kickstarter, we have seen films with relatively modest goals, whose crowd-sourcing campaigns wildly exceeded the producers' expectations. So, if we reach our goal, PLEASE DO NOT STOP, and if you are the kind of funder, donor, or executive producer who'd like to discuss participation at a more significant level, please contact us directly through Kickstarter or at email@example.com.
No. Only you and the project owner will be able to see your pledge amount.
Yes, you can pledge from anywhere.
Yes. To "gift" your reward to someone else, please follow the normal process with the pledge and payment in your name. Once we've reached the deadline, we'll send you an email requesting the information we need to fulfill the reward. At that time, please reply with the contact info for the person you want to receive the reward.
If our goal isn't met before the deadline, we don't receive any of the pledges. Your credit or debit card will not be charged.
You can send us a message through the Kickstarter website by clicking on "send message" at the top of the page just under the Earth Camp One heading, or on "send message" above the bio on the lower right hand side of the page. Or, you can email us directly at firstname.lastname@example.com
-Jennie Livingston and the Earth Camp One team
"A politically astute, historically important document of our precarious times." -Michelle Parkerson, The Black Film Review
"a beautiful piece of work - lively, intelligent exploratory...Everything about 'Paris is Burning' signifies so blatantly and so promiscuously that our formulations - our neatly paired theses and antitheses - multiply faster than we can keep track of them, and the movie induces a semiotic daze. What's wonderful about the picture is that Livingston is smart enough not to reduce her subjects to the sum of their possible meanings..." -Terrence Rafferty, The New Yorker
"Zeroing in on an obscure and outré corner of a subculture, Livingston's film ends up shedding an extraordinary light on American culture as a whole." -David Ansen, Newsweek
"witty and accomplished" -Kevin Thomas, The Los Angeles Times
"Livingston delivers a sharp...tale about the meaning of power, the nature of reality, and the elusiveness of love by posing questions seldom heard at cinemas." -RJ Grubb, Bay Windows
"production numbers are more exuberant than anything in Rent." -Wesley Morris, Boston Globe
"the best Marie Antoinette fantasy we've ever seen" -Sarah Harrison, Nerve
I missed the deadline but still want to donate to support Earth Camp One's post-production and animation work. Can I still get involved?
The Kickstarter campaign for Earth Camp One ended on 11/11/11. But you can donate if you click on the link below, then click on Earth Camp One. You'll get a tax deduction, to the full extent of the law, for doing it.http://www.sffs.org/Filmmaker-Services/Project-Development/current-projects.aspx…
If you don't want to donate online and would rather send a check, drop us an email at email@example.com and we'll send you the info. Thank you!
If I donate through your fiscal sponsor's link below, can I get any of the incentives you offered in the Kickstarter campaign?
With 540 backers who pledged during the five-week campaign, we have a lot of incentives to distribute so, in general, we need to limit those incentives to people who pledged on Kickstarter. If you donate now, though our 501 3 (c) fiscal sponsor, you not only get the good feeling of having helped an independent film that needs your support, (see info above about the sex and chocolate hormones that get released when yo donate) you get something the Kickstarter backers did not get: A TAX DEDUCTION to the full extent of the law. On the other hand, if there is something in the upper registers of incentives you're interested in (like associate producer credit, or a screening) please feel free to contact us. Thank you.
