BEE Protective
Resources and Educational Materials
In order to move action forward on the pollinator crisis, Beyond Pesticides launched the BEE Protective campaign, a national public education effort supporting local action aimed at protecting honey bees and other pollinators from pesticides and contaminated landscapes. BEE Protective includes a variety of educational materials to help encourage municipalities, campuses, and individual homeowners to adopt policies and practices that protect bees and other pollinators from harmful pesticide applications and create pesticide-free refuges for these beneficial organisms. In addition to scientific and regulatory information, BEE Protective also includes a model community pollinator resolution and a pollinator protection pledge. Pollinators are a vital part of our environment and a barometer for healthy ecosystems. Let's all do our part to BEE Protective of these critical species.
Help Beyond Pesticides grow the pressure on all fronts by asking retailers, administrators, and elected officials to take action by eliminating or curtailing the sale and use of neonicotinoid pesticides.

After working to refine the City of Ouray's 2013 budget for the past two months, the Ouray City Council holds its final budget work session Thursday, Dec. 6, 4 to 6 p.m., and will formally adopt the budget at a special meeting at Monday, Dec. 10, at 6 p.m. Both meetings take place at the Ouray Community Center.
Council is statutorily required to adopt the new budget and submit it to the State before Dec. 15.
At its Thursday worksession, council will specifically be discussing aspects of the Parks Fund that pertain to the Ouray Hot Springs Pool.
One thing that distinguishes the 2013 budget is the absence of two large line items, the "second water tank" project, and the acquisition of the Ouray Ice Park. Both of these decade-long projects were brought to conclusion in 2012, City Administrator Patrick Rondinelli was pleased to report.
Otherwise, he described the budget as "pretty stripped down."
"Our plan is to not take on too many capital projects in 2013," he said. "We did a heck of a lot in 2012. As an organization, we need time to reset, and focus attention on the assets we have."
The next large capital project waiting in the wings will be a major overhaul of the Ouray Hot Springs Pool. The pool capital improvement committee has been meeting weekly on Mondays to determine the scope of this upcoming project, and is expected to make some type of recommendation to council in the upcoming year.
"It may lead to a ballot question next fall," Rondinelli said. "For now, the only thing council would consider would be to seek a municipal bond, not a tax increase."
The city has seen a trend of higher-than-anticipated year-end revenues for the past three years. Still, Rondinelli said, "We always budget conservatively. The main thing is, we are very fortunate the local economy has done OK; we fared fairly well, considering what the rest of country faced. But from a staff standpoint, and organizational standpoint, our budget is pretty stripped down. We don't do a lot of extended programs other municipalities offer."

The opening credits of "Life of Pi" present color-drenched photos of a zoo in an audubon park in India. The animals scamper amid lush landscapes and pastel wall murals. It's gorgeous.
And the movie only gets better after that.
Based on the novel by Yann Martel about a teenage boy who survives a shipwreck that kills his parents and brother, "Life of Pi" combines a fantastical action-adventure story with elements of religious philosophy, love of family and even a bit of romance.
Pi survives the shipwreck only to find himself trapped on a lifeboat with a ferocious tiger, an orangutan, a zebra and a hyena.
Think of a mashup of the things you like most about "Cast Away" and "Slumdog Millionaire," and you might have a general idea of what you're in for.
But there's just no way to really describe "Life of Pi" without telling things that must be left to wash over you when you're in the theater. (No, I haven't read the book.) And that's not gonna happen here.
What I can give you is the basic set-up.
Pi Patel is the second son of a man who runs a zoo in Pondicherry, India. Pi describes it as the French Riviera of India. He also describes in detail the mystery behind his unusual name.
Growing up, Pi becomes fascinated with Hinduism, the religion of his mother, and then Catholicism and Islam. But his father lost his faith during a traumatic childhood and describes religion as being dark. Pi and his brother are taught to believe in science, but he does not give up on God.
He's also fascinated by the tiger in his father's zoo, named Richard Parker.
When he's a teen, Pi learns his father plans to sell the zoo animals and move his family to Canada for economic reasons. A Japanese freighter hauls not only the family but many of the zoo animals into the teeth of a ferocious storm.
As the movie begins, an adult Pi meets a writer who wants to hear his story. As he tells it to the writer, he tells it to us in a giant flashback, rarely and briefly interrupted by returns to the present.
But the bulk of the movie is in and around that lifeboat.
Director Ang Lee ("Sense and Sensibility," "Brokeback Mountain," "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon") uses a seamless combination of live-action shots and digital wonderment in depicting the storm, the ship sinking, the zoo animals, life at sea, fantastical landscapes and skies and water and stars. It's a visual dazzler.
Also a wonder: the screenplay by David Magee ("Miss Pettigrew Lives for a Day," "Finding Neverland") and terrific performances by Suraj Sharma as teenage Pi, Irrfan Khan ("Slumdog Millionaire," "The Namesake") as adult Pi and Rafe Spall as the writer. Gérard Depardieu has a cameo as a nasty ship's cook.
"Life of Pi" is a story of belief, compassion, hope, life wisdom and heart. It's on the short list of best-picture contenders among many Oscar watchers.
The tiger and shipwreck scenes are pretty intense, so it's your call on whether your children are up for this PG-rated movie.

With shares down more than 50% in two years, could the path of least resistance be higher for this stock?
Jim Cramer can't help but wonder if that's the case with Nordic American Tankers.
"The oil tanker business has been terrible for years now because of a massive oversupply of ships that have been keeping day rates down for everyone in the space," Cramer explained on Wednesday's broadcast.
And no stock in the space has been spared punishment from the downward momentum.
"Nordic American has been hammered," Cramer said. "It now trades at $8 and change, down huge from $25 just two years ago. "
However, sometimes investors throw out the baby with the bathwater. That is, sometimes the momentum lower drives a stock below the level where it should have otherwise bounced.
That may be the case with this stock.
Cramer always says nothing matters more than fundamentals and fundamentals are relatively attractive here.
"Nordic American is the best tanker company in the industry, with terrific management and the cleanest balance sheet in the business," said Cramer.
As a result, Cramer can't help but wonder if the worst is over for this stock.

5 Things That Should Be in Your Portfolio, Now!
"Even after the dividend cut, the stock sports a 7.3% yield at these levels, so they're paying you to wait for a turn in the tanker market, and with the Chinese economy coming back, that turn might be closer than it seems," said Cramer.
Now, it's worth noting the Mad Money host made it clear that this stock was a play on recovery. "When the market comes back, this stock should perform, but the market has got to come back first," Cramer said.
However, if you have an appetite for risk, this stock may belong on your radar. Like they say, it's always darkest before the dawn.
"Perhaps this is an 'always darkest before the dawn moment'," said Cramer.

Writer Winona Laduke of Honor the Earth, an American Indian organization. claimed that our company had "invaded a territory" in Canada's far north, had pulled "$5 billion worth of diamonds out annually" and had relegated the local First Nations people to "Third World conditions." Even a cursory review of the facts would reveal the reports about our company are not remotely accurate.
Prior to constructing our mine in northern Ontario, we spent three years negotiating an Impact Benefit Agreement with the community, which later ratified the agreement with a vote of 85 percent. Since the start of construction, this fly-in/fly-out remote community of 1,800 residents has been awarded more than $350 million in business contracts to community-owned businesses. The $5 billion referenced by the author was the global gross sales figure for all countries De Beers operates in and not for this Canadian operation, which is one of the smallest in the company.
In less than five years, we have exceeded hiring targets as 40 percent of our workforce is self-identified First Nations members, half of which are from the local community. We encourage your readers to learn more about De Beers' commitment to sustainable development and the environment at www.debeersgroup.com.

Bruins' Andrew Ference suspended for one game by NHL
The NHL has suspended Boston Bruins' defenseman Andrew Ference for one game, Director of Player Safety Brendan Shanahan said Thursday.
Ference was suspended for an illegal check to the head of Toronto Maple Leafs forward Mikhail Grabovski during Game 1 of the teams' first-round, best-of-seven series on Wednesday. The Bruins won the game, 4-1.
"Ference makes the decision to check Grabovski after playing the puck," Shanahan said in a video explaining his decision. "However, in doing so, he lunges toward Grabovski, extending his left arm and shoulder, picking Grabovski's head and making it the principal point of contact."
No penalty was called on the play, but Shanahan said that the replay made it clear that Ference was targeting Grabovski's head. Grabovski was not injured on the play.
The hit in question came in the first period of the Bruins' win, when Ference came up high with his elbow as he skated past Grabovski, landing a shot to Grabovski's head.
Game 2 is in Boston on Saturday.
Here is the video of Shanahan explaining the decision:

Oakland >Bars & Clubs > Ruby Room
132 14th St, Oakland, CA | Directions 9461237.801409 -122.263700
Neighborhoods: Civic Center, Downtown Oakland
Great music and dancing – The crowd is pretty decent midweek. The music is always good (except Mondays) and the place is always clean. Don't expect too much from their drinks, and their service could use a little work as well.
Oh Ruby, how you have changed... – Yep, there are super cheap well drinks for students with ID. That part is pretty cool.
I used to love the ruby room, but in the last few years, things have changed. There are a lot more men here, and a lot fewer women. A lot fewer people in general, lately.
The music is awesome. They play 80's metal, etc - depending on the night. There is a dance floor and lots of cozy little tables.
The pool table is in the newly designed smoking area. It's walled off so - if you're a smoker, you can smoke inside and not bother the non-smokers. If you're a non-smoker though, you have to deal with the smoke if you want to play pool.
I used to go out of my way to go to ruby room, and meet all sorts of exciting people there. I still head there if I'm with a friend and in the neighborhood, but I wouldn't go out of my way...
BEWARE – The people who go there seem laid back. The place is dark and smokey. The service sucks, you have to muscle you way into getting a drink. The security is a little on the racist side. Don't look suspect or shall I say be of color. You won't be able to relax without looking over your shoulder to assure you haven't been labeled or classified. If you just want to see how a racist bar functions within a interracial city. This is your spot! Great for a psychology project. Oakland is a majority black populated city but you would think you just walked into a dive bar in the back woods of Alabama once you enter this spot.
A local hangout!!! – Live in Oakland greta place to hang out and have a cocktail, nice low light smoker friendly bar located next to Oaklands lake merrit, good vibe between the the bartenders and others patrons as well, a must do if live in the area!!!
This comfy neighborhood bar adds a hint of cosmopolitan style to downtown Oakland. – In Short
With a nifty art-deco entrance, exposed-rock walls and dim red lights, Ruby Room has the feel of a cool 1950s lounge. However, the graffiti in the bathroom and cigarette burns on the pleather banquettes in the small lounge area are scars from its punk-rock past. A pool table in the rear exists for barhoppers who can feign athletic ability after sipping inexpensive drinks (less than $5 for top-shelf tippling).
Shake The Tail Feather – I had the chance to pop by one random Wednesday night. Much to my surprise the evening's sonorous pleasures were Soul. After I ordered my Jamison's on the rocks, I looked over to the dj booth noticing a petite hot mama spining some great mixes of yore. The whole scene was cool, people dancing, hanging out and enjoying themselves. I finally left after about an hour shaking myself into a sweaty mess...aaah, such a nice night.
$.02 – Went there on a sunday night. Good laid back vibe and the bartender was friendly. I counted four beer taps that were on the nothing fancy side. Music was varied in genre but not it's good quality. Lots of couples by the bar while i found groups of guys hung out in the back close to the pool table (i think there was just one). As the editor describes, the Ruby Room is a come-as-you-are hangout spot. I found this to be true as well. Drinks got lots of ice but are strong and priced well. Keep in mind that smoking is allowed. Ruby Room wasn't thick with smoke but had enough to make your clothes smell. Located across from the main library allows for easy parking at night. Dim red lighting inside. Diverse crowd mostly in twenties and early thirties. A score of 5 is my average ranking.
best club I've ever been bounced from – the Hotclub in Oakland-wednesday nights is a locals dance party. Plenty of beautiful male friendly girls. Intimate atmosphere-FREE-people dance and are friendly. Everyone that works there is cool-even when they're bouncing you! 86ed can't can't ever come

Fall Research and Academic Program Lectures at the Clark
For Immediate Release
September 11, 2012
Williamstown, MA—The Sterling and Francine Clark Art Institute has announced the fall semester schedule of academic lectures by fellows in its Research and Academic Program. The free lectures that present recent research to members of the academic community are open to the public and refreshments are served. Lectures take place in the Clark Café on Tuesday at 5:30 pm during the academic year.
Fall 2012 Fellows Lecture Series
Mignon Nixon, Professor of Art History, Courtauld Institute of Art, UK
"Sperm Bomb: Art, Feminism, and the American War in Vietnam"
September 18
Clark Fellow Mignon Nixon, Professor of Art History at the Courtauld Institute of Art, London, and a co-editor of the journal October, borrows her lecture title from "Sperm Bomb," by Nancy Spero, who, in 1964, in response to the escalating American war in Vietnam, abruptly abandoned painting on canvas for more immediate means: gouache and ink liberally diluted with spit. Returning to the scene of war resistance and nascent feminism in the Vietnam era, Nixon reflects upon newly pressing questions of what art concerned with subjectivity brings to a situation of war.
W. J. T. Mitchell, Gaylord Donnelley Distinguished Service Professor of English and Art History, University of Chicago
"Seeing Madness: Insanity, Media, and Visual Culture"
October 2
Beinecke Fellow W. J. T. Mitchell, Gaylord Donnelley Distinguished Service Professor of English and Art History at the University of Chicago, will discuss the visibility of madness and the madness of visuality, whether in graphic stereotypes, scientific classifications, theatrical spectacle, ritual performance, or cinema and new media: What is at stake in the visibility of madness? What do movies, as well as pre-cinematic media and extended cinema, bring to the subject of madness, and what does madness bring to them?
Nicola Courtright, Professor in the Department of Art and the History of Art, Amherst College
"A New Place for Queens in the Art and Political Imagination of 17th-Century France"
October 16
Clark Fellow Nicola Courtright is Professor in the Department of Art and the History of Art at Amherst College, where she teaches the art and architecture of early modern Europe. Her research focuses on how different forms of art help to formulate political expression in a rich and imaginative way that texts cannot. In this lecture, she examines ideologies of rule for early modern French queens through the art and architecture of French palaces.
Sterling Clark Visiting Professor Erika Naginski, Harvard Graduate School of Design
"Rococo Vision and the 'Sonorous Body' of Architecture"
October 23
Erika Naginski of the Harvard Graduate School of Design is Robert Sterling Clark Visiting Professor, Williams College Graduate Program in the History of Art. In this lecture, she considers particular aspects of architecture's relation to vision in French Rococo aesthetics. The point of departure here is the challenge posed by the architect Charles-Étienne Briseux to classically derived analogies, based on numerical ratios, between architectural proportion and musical harmony. It is well known that Briseux drew directly on the musical thinking of Jean-Philippe Rameau in order to explore architecture¹s connection to the "sonorous body" (corps sonore), which could be detected by hearing, touch, and sight. In so doing, the architect's theories registered a broader shift from Cartesian rationalism to the sensorialist philosophies of the Enlightenment (as Alberto Péréz-Gomez, among others, has pointed out). Yet how such a proposition might have worked itself out formally and architectonically remains a compelling question—especially in light of the fact that Briseux's own claim to fame was domestic architecture, the decoration of interior spaces, and the elaboration of surfaces and thresholds (by means of mirrors, mantelpieces, ceilings, overdoors, paneling, etc.). How did the "sonorous body" come to be perceived architecturally? And what kinds of connections between interiority and the senses might have been at play?
Roger Benjamin, Professor of Art History, University of Sydney, Australia
"Monochromy, Photography and 'Oriental' Color: Kandinsky and Münter in Tunisia"
October 30
Clark Mellon Curatorial Fellow Roger Benjamin, Professor of Art History at the University of Sydney, has written widely on modern French art (Matisse in particular), the history of French Orientalist painting, and contemporary Aboriginal art.
Jean Campbell, Professor of Art History, Emory University
"Pisanello's Parerga: Painting and the Invention of Knowledge in the Fifteenth Century"
November 13
Clark Fellow Jean Campbell, Professor of Art History at Emory University in Atlanta, will present the lecture "Pisanello's Parerga: Painting and the Invention of Knowledge in the Fifteenth Century." Her research focuses on vernacular poetry and the visual arts in the fourteenth and fifteenth centuries and involves questions of translation and art as an affective medium.
Lisa Saltzman, Professor of the History of Art, Bryn Mawr College
"Daguerreotypes: Fugitive Subjects, Contemporary Objects"
Tuesday, November 27
Clark/Oakley Humanities Fellow Lisa Saltzman, Professor of the History of Art at Bryn Mawr College, where she teaches modern and contemporary art and theory, will present the lecture "Daguerreotypes: Fugitive Subjects, Contemporary Objects."
Since its inception in 2000, the Sterling and Francine Clark Art Institute's Research and Academic Program has earned an international reputation as a foremost center for advancing the study of visual arts and for educating the next generation of art historians, professors, and museum directors and curators. The program engages the world's most creative and innovative visual arts scholars including Clark Fellows who travel to Williamstown to pursue their research while in residence at the Clark.

I´ve been there and it is truly extraordinary.
I´ve also been to Avebury - - and yes, it´s extraordinary - - but - - I don´t think it compares with the "alignements" at Carnac in Brittany or the cave paintings at Lascaux in the Dordogne as far as prehistoric wonders go.The Frainch were robbed!
Agree #1. The ancient past lives on in Avebury: there is a haunting sense of mysticism and time eternal felt amid those stones. Set in the chalk hills of Wiltshire, mounds and chalk figures drawn eons ago. The village welcomes visitors - if you should go there, take your sixth sense with you.
I wouldn´t trade a half dozen TAj Mahals for one Hagia Sophia. Too bad the Moslems don´t take care of heritage sites as the Indians (and others) take care of Moslem sites (such as the T. M.).
#4, the Taj Mahal is NOT built by Muslims. Carbon dating the wood from its basement shows the year AD 300. Indian legend has it that it was built by the Hindu king Anangpal at that time. Later passed on to a Rajput royal family in service of the Moghuls. There are written records of compensation paid to Raja Mansingh by the Emperor Shah Jehan to acquire the building. Frontal stones were turned around to sculpt in verses from the Koran. We in the West have very little idea of the true history of these places. I am sure the same applies to the Pyramids and the Spinx.
#5. "Legend has it" does not carry as much weight as the written history of anything.
Drag you lazy turista butt out to Giza.Take a long hard look and then get back to me about this place.This is a British Travel Office Brochure.Mexico, however has some beauties.
Thanks for posting. My grandfather was born in Wiltshire.
I knew a lot more about Avebury than the average tourist when I visited it years ago.Since then, I´ve learned a lot more about it and I wish I could go back. The place is haunting; it grips you and won´t let you go. Stonehenge, which I saw on the same day, is magnificent and impressive...but one is kept at a distance from it...invited to look but not touch. At Avebury, I walked the circle and touched each stone. I looked at each closely and tried to imagine what the designers were thinking when they decided where each particular stone would best be set. I could see differences in the stones, but I did not then (and do not now) have enough information to see why the taller stone was placed in one place and the shorter, heavier stone in another...Avebury does not let you go. It isn´t a bad thing at all to have Avebury surface in your mind now and then. And then there´s the buried pyramid at nearby Silbury Hill...which might yield some answers, and surely engender more questions.If I could "time travel", I´d go BACK (not forward), and find out about all the fascinating places and events in the earliest history of mankind.

Wheelchair basketball as a sport, began in 1948 when World War II veterans began returning home. Unfortunately, many of the veterans were paralyzed causing them to remain in wheelchairs for the rest of their lives. To keep themselves entertained, these veterans began trying a multitude of sports. Many started with ping-pong and pool, progressed to bowling and swimming, and finally made their way to softball and basketball teams. It wasn't long before basketball became the #1 played wheelchair sport.
Within two years, the popularity of wheelchair basketball caught on, and six VA hospital teams were organized throughout the United States and games were hosted by Paralyzed Veterans of America (PVA) and. The PVA held three successful tournaments but was soon replaced by the new, highly competitive NWBA tournament. In the mid 1970's, women teams began to emerge, creating a new era of wheelchair basketball.
At the time there was only one division- joining women were permitted to play on formerly all-male teams. However, between 1970 and 1990, a women's division was created. By the 1991 NWBA tournaments consisted of eleven women's teams, with six teams playing a regular schedule of games in the NWBA conferences.
The addition of a women's division to the NWBA tournaments wasn't the only major change for wheelchair basketball in 1991. In Fall of 1991, the Congress of USA Basketball voted to make the NWBA an active member in its organization. For the preceding eleven years the league was on the Associate member level of the Congress of USA Basketball. Even better was the fact that NWBA Commissioner, Stan Labanowich was appointed to the Congress of USA Basketball's Board of Directors.
Wheelchair basketball has come a long way since its 1940's beginnings. We are proud to say that National Wheelchair Basketball Association is experiencing worldwide popularity - and we don't plan on slowing down anytime soon! The next stop for NWBA - the Olympics!

Beretta Gel-Tek Cheek Protector .24"
Installed it on my Extrema 2 quick easy and sticks really well. No worries about putting my face down on the comb when shooting heavy loads. Give you update at end of Season.
Grate protection for the cheek, it reduces the recoil greatly. I have an old over & under 12ga that would always leave my cheek swollen with the first couple of shots. So I decided to put on the Gel-Tek Cheek, I did it on the field under dusty conditions of course it ended with air bubbles trap inside but I fire about 100 shells and my cheek was filling great. The next day I removed it, it took me around 10 minutes, it really holds tight to the stock so no need to worry about falling loose, I cleaned it let it dry and put it on again this time without the air bubbles, looks really good. The stock of my gun is all 100% wood with a slight of wood varnish nothing like the new ones that look plastic or glossy so you don't have to worry if you want to place it on a wood stock it'll work.It looks good, fells good and raises the stock according to the thickness .12" or .24" 100% satisfied

UPDATED: Spouses Miranda Lambert and Blake Shelton were the CMA Awards' top vocalists for a fourth consecutive year. But viewers didn't seem to mind those repeats at all.
The three-hour telecast on ABC was the top show nationally and locally. The awards, with George Strait being acclaimed Entertainer of the Year, averaged 16.8 million viewers, according to updated ratings.
The other broadcast network averages for prime time: CBS with 9.4 million, NBC with 5.1 million, Fox with 4.5 million for "The X Factor" (which must be re-staged Thursday night) and The CW with 2.2 million. ABC won the 18-to-49 age group by a wide margin over CBS.
In Orlando, the CMA Awards averaged 213,400 viewers. It was the second-best showing for the CMAs in the Orlando TV market in the past five years. Only the 2011 telecast had more viewers: 249,000.

CBS offered the strongest competition to the awards. Three CBS series came next in the rankings: "Survivor" with 186,900 viewers, "CSI" with 147,200 and "Criminal Minds" with 138,700. The No. 5 show in total viewers was NBC's "Revolution" with 86,600.
"The X Factor" on Fox pulled in 80,200 viewers. Three Central Florida acts are in the Top 13: Lillie McCloud, Rachel Potter and the duo Alex & Sierra. Fox revealed early Thursday that a graphics error during the East Coast telecast will require the Top 13 to perform again Thursday, followed by a re-vote by viewers. And that is not good news for "The X Factor," which is struggling in the ratings.
The favorite programs of the 18-to-49 age group were the CMA Awards, "Survivor," "Revolution," FX's "American Horror Story: Coven" and "CSI."
In other national ratings, CBS offered "Survivor" (9.3 million), "Criminal Minds" (9.7 million) and "CSI" (9.1 million). NBC's best was "Law & Order: SVU" with 5.7 million, followed by "Revolution" with 5.2 million. The CW's best was "Arrow" with 2.8 million, but the audience for "The Tomorrow People" fell to 1.6 million.

Answer by Ambimorph 20167 · Oct 07 '11 at 06:10 PM
Since I recently did a question related to this, you know my view. There is an answer in that compilation to please everyone, I think, but the quote that particularly resonated with me was:
Chris Masterjohn:
The body can make glucose from protein, so the physiological need for glucose does not mean there is a dietary need for glucose. That said, some people might be better at making glucose from protein than others, and some adverse circumstances may compromise an individual's ability to make glucose from protein.
This is somewhat consistent with my view that only special disease states would warrant the need for dietary glucose. However, I consider it a band-aid solution, though it may be the best alternative we currently have in some circumstances.
As for the cancer situation, I'm really quite alarmed that anyone would recommend eating any glucose at all under that condition. If my life were on the line, I wouldn't be taking any such risk. I know that research on ketogenic therapy for cancer is in its infancy, but what little we have is promising and the theoretical basis is sound.
For a cancer patient w/insulin resistance, I agree that a ketogenic diet may be helpful. High insulin and IGF-1 levels are associated with tumor growth, so minimize by just freezing out insulin. Avoid carbs and you'll keep insulin at bay.Now, in a healthy person w/cancer, would that be necessary? Insulin deployment is transitory. And these peopel are very sensitive to insulin. Does eating a safe starch meal elevate insulin to such a degree that tumor cells grow exponentially? Especially when you're only doing 150-200g carbs as in PHD?
Now, Gary Taubes has been specifically focusing on sugar as the driver of tumor growth. If so, why would safe starches (yams, yuca, sweet potatoes) be similarly implicated when they have either zero nor minimal sugar? Look up the nutrition underlying any of the safe starches and you'll see minimal sugars; that's why they're called "starches".The issue again seems to be lumping together good carbs w/bad carbs. Transitory insulin elevation doesn't seem to be the culprit. It's probably what bad carbs (processed, sugar/fructose) do that hurts us metabolically & drives tumor growth.

I thought it was a train wreck. Or trainwreck. Or train-wreck. Or...a disgusting display of ignorance, poor form, and not-so-hidden agenda. I can only hope Jimmy Moore realizes how clearly he missed the mark on this one and I surely hope some of our "dignitaries" are ashamed of themselves today because they damn well should be.
Answer by Kriki 117 · Oct 08 '11 at 05:33 PM
What do I think about it? This might seem harsh, but it is my top opinion that springs to mind upon completion of reading it all:
Kurt Harris > Jack Kruse
Sorry, but I'm not singling this Kruse character out, but he has always struck me as an unreliable source; as a person who is quick to spout off crackpot thoughts, theories and criticisms, yet he gets a pass because he has an "MD" beside his name.
I'm sorry if this post isn't a good one or within suggesting posting guidelines here...... I legitimately believe that the light needs to be shined on the crackpots. My immediate thought upon reading that link is that the light was very brightly shined on one there.
Answer by Jeff 1 16800 · Oct 07 '11 at 05:14 AM
First, I'm impressed by the sheer volume of Jimmy Mooer's blog post.
I think this goes along the same lines as my question from the other day
Does the term "paleo" need to have a rigid set of guidelines? For the general SAD public not to get confused, the answer is probably yes. Within the community, I would think it's pretty much assumed and agreed upon that people who have serious metabolic derangement need to avoid rice and potatoes, while someone who is a muscular cross-fitter or naturally skinny researcher can get away with more carbs.
And then there's differences between metabolically sound men and women.... An iron deficient woman should probably steer as far away from phytic acid as possible, but for us men who eat a pound of meat a day and have gradually elevating ferratin levels maybe some phytic acid in our diets would do us some good. I was actually considering supplementing with it (IP6) though I'm sticking with the blood donation route for now.
A one size fits all mentality of course doesn't work. But could the ambiguity/subtleties hinder the spreading of the "paleo" way of eating?
I think "no grains, no legumes, no dairy" is probably the easiest in an elevator pitch but then we have the subtleties of butter to deal with, so I dunno...
Answer by patrick3000 868 · Oct 07 '11 at 05:57 AM
It is indeed incredible the gap in general knowledge between those of us who read a fair amount about nutrition and those who actually do research and/or write books on the topic.
Maybe because of the amount of time and concentration it takes to do research or just to keep up with the science on an in-depth level, some of these experts seem totally ignorant about (and surprised to hear about) theories that differ in the slightest from their own area of expertise.
Those of us without the scientific grounding but merely a passion for putting into practice the best diet take for granted the notion that white rice, for example, is "safer" because it's lower in anti-nutrients/phytates. Doesn't mean we all agree, but we've read about it dozens or hundreds of times. Yet Loren Cordain gives no indication of ever having heard that. (Guess he doesn't listen to the podcast of his protege Robb Wolf.) Instead, he actually claims to believe that "anyone who advocates eating white rice and potatoes obviously is unaware of the concept of either glycemic index or glycemic load." Yeah, right! No one in 2011 remotely interested in nutrition is unaware of that concept.
And a low-carb researcher (Dr. William Yancy) who has never heard the word 'dysbiosis'??? LMFAO. Maybe he's all about weight loss and has never had a digestive problem that required more than five minutes of googling - because that's how long it takes to come across that term. Wow.
Kudos to Jimmy for exposing the variety of opinions on this topic and i look forward to his part 2.
"some of these experts seem totally ignorant about (and surprised to hear about) theories that differ in the slightest from their own area of expertise"The term expert is used VERY loosely by Jimmy. Dana Carpender? Tom Naughton?
Answer by Beth-WeightMaven 15491 · Oct 07 '11 at 01:40 PM
I wish Jimmy had stuck to just asking the question re safe starches and leaving cancer out of it for this go-round.
Answer by dzone 1145 · Oct 07 '11 at 08:03 AM
Colette Heimowitz sucked so bad, she doesn't know shit about physiology. Her 'speach' is embarrassing. DR. LARRY and Adele Hite answeres were really great and DR. Fred was very funny with that yelling. Jimmis N=1 experiments really suck because he is not adapted to HC input, and unless he is using somebody else as proxy it means nothing to people not on LC.
I do think that Pauls Vitamin C deficiency problem is ridiculous as it is well established that LC HP diet improves absorption and that HC diets diminish both absorption and utilization. You can eat red paprika to get a lot or that synthetic powder. Mucus problem might manifest as dry eys or rigid joints but not in the stomach which has some sugar (although it also has microbiota which hijack sugar). Cancer can't really be starved, but at least it doesn't have to bath in energy (it overexpresses GLUT transporters). Enough Vitamin C is probably the most important thing to prevent it (improves all types of unnatural conditions that may lead to reverting of normal cells back to their ancient selfish metazoian origin, and Lysine & Proline amino acids to prevent spreading (because of collagen cross linking).
I think improvements in personalized genetics will put stop on this once and for all. Once you know how well are you carb/fat/protein efficient in source code, you will not have to keep any XXXXL strategy. For instance, part of the CHO process would be to see your copy number variation of amylase gene, expression of your GLUT transporters, etc.... For now everybody will have to use their sense to guess it.
Answer by pbo 2791 · Oct 07 '11 at 03:29 PM
I think this is great. I think paleo diet is more of a base template, and it should be strict in the sense of exact numbers. Different people can apply the template differently with differences. Paleo should support low to moderate carb levels (maybe even high).
The key is who is the subject and in what context. Healthy/Diabetic/Althelete/Pregnant/Parkinsons/Weight Loss/Strength Training etc. There is not one fits all solution, but there is a great base to start from. For me that is what paleo is.. guideline and a base to work with and start tinkering from.
Starting your base as low carb, to me, is a bad idea, people will tend to focus on that, and when they are out shopping see a low carb food product and go oh that is not so bad.
I think, just like us, paleo movement will evolve as long as we keep in open mind and do not make this a religion. Being critical is what got the movement started.
"I think, just like us, paleo movement will evolve as long as we keep in open mind and do not make this a religion. Being critical is what got the movement started."
Very well stated. When we get dogmatic and reject anything that conflicts with our current paradigm...well...it will all go downhill.
Answer by akman 3922 · Oct 07 '11 at 05:13 AM
Quilt - Were your comments about 'safe starches' only aimed at cancer patients or does this apply to everyone who is trying to optimize through diet? I'm still not clear on your opinion of carbs for LS people. Do you think long-term keto diets are OK for most?
Dr. Jack Kruse says: "I read Kurt and Jaminet's take. I think these recommendations are madness based upon the totality of the data we have today. I think avoiding anything that stimulates the IGF1 pathway is "smart" based upon current knowledge and i think using a ketogenic diet is also prudent. While i like both of these guys, neither one has any clinical experience treating cancer patients. They read literature. When kurt was a practicing doc he spent time in a dark room with films not patients. I showed our oncologist these comments and they both shook their head. I spent four years getting these guys to come over to evolutionary biology based upon science and now these two primal insiders decide damn be the science?
I think the science is far from worked out but nothing i have read critically reviewed support jaminet's claims. My personal opinion is this……..the best way to show someone they are wrong is allow them to go down the path they choose and let them learn for themselves. Some people may do the same but when they see their clinicians and the news is not good…….then there testimony will shine sunlight on who's interpretation of science is correct.
If you remember our podcast……i told you i am wary of authors with books to sell on diets. Here is a perfect example of someone trying to fit their theory into everything. Id rather use evolutionary biology to give us a custom health care plan instead. I wrote a blog on what to do for a new cancer diagnosis–and its completely opposite these recommendations. I guess the new cancer patient will have to choose who is more correct.
This is a sad state of affairs in my opinion."

I think Dr. Jack Kruse Neurosurgeon needs to find the shift key on his keyboard. Not capitalizing "i" is one thing speaking of himself, but to not capitalize Jaminet (and Kurt elsewhere) is poor form. Oh ... and a grammar checker might be of some help. When blogging and editing chunks it is easy to mismatch tenses and leave in fragments of former phrases. I understand that, and I'm sure there are numerous transgressions to be found on my blog. But the regularity with which this occurs in Kruse's writings is something he needs to address, especially as I'm not the first person to bring this to his attention. It is "nothing ... support s", "the ir testimony", and "who se interpretation".
I think avoiding anything that stimulates the IGF1 pathway is "smart" based upon current knowledge
I think Kruse/Quilt needs to look a bit more into what stimulates IGF-1.
To lump Paul in with other diet book authors is low class. One need not agree with what Paul writes, but he didn't start out with a premise and cherry pick from data to formulate his plan. He's very up front about the origins of his book. No gimmicks, supplements to sell or anything of the sort.
Thanks NP, i should of checked. <-intentional. ;-)In the area of cancer, it is quite possible that different diets are more or less helpful/harmful for different types. Cancer is about as monolithic a disease as obesity is a condition.

Neighborhoods: Duquesne Heights
Fantastic experience! – My wife and I ate there for the first time last Monday. The food was fantastic, the service was top notch. We liked the five course setup of the meal. Highly recommended.
Very nice view, unfortunately that?s all I can say about this restaurant. I did not like anything about the food. i didnt feel like there was much to chose from first, and esp. if your not a sea food eater. i was not a fan of the decor, but i did enjoy our cocktails.
Best Black Forest Steak and Lobster with a GREAT view – My wife and I celebrate our birthday's every year at the Tin Angel. We are greeted very graciously by Nicky and shown to our table by a window. The wait staff is very friendly and knowledgable and the food is out of this world. We have been to many, many Pittsburgh restaurants over the years, but we always look forward to going back to the Tin Angel. It is a "Special Place" to celebrate our birthdays and we are always happy to see Nicky again.
10/24/2008: Another great meal and excellent and friendly service at the Tin Angel. We have visited a host
restautants in Pittsburgh and other cities, but the Tin Angel, by far, exceeds all. Nicky goes out
of her way to make us feel at home and the wait staff is outstanding as well. One is never witj
out a full glass of water, Nicky checks to make sure all is going well and Chef Diane is the very
best at in her profession. It's of no suprise that she appeared in Pittsburgh Magazine as one
of Pittsburgh's best Chefs. Over the years, we have just about ordered everything on the menu
and not once have we been the least bit disappointed. Nicky even remembers our birthdays
with a succulent chocolate dessert. When you go, and you must, be sure to try the Black
Forrest Filet or the Surf & Turf. Excellent!!!!! And thanks to the entire staff for making our visits
memorabile ones.
Frightening – Don't waste your time or money! Everything in on the menu was stuffed with crab (and some things just shouldn't be) and drenched in a ridiculously heavy cream sauce (I'm quite sure that was to hide the meat). The service left a lot to be desired as did everything else in the restaurant, from the menu to the decor - even the music was terrible... they actually had the radio playing so during your dinner you were listening to commercials. Very tacky!
excellent – we recently dined at the tin angel and loved it. expensive yes, but good restaurants are expensive these days! we had steak and seafood and overall everything was to perfection. perhaps some of the other diners should have tried McDONALDS...!
User review by jayemar – Me and my girlfriend went here last evening. We first got the soup which was very good as good as wedding soup can be. Next we had the veggie boat which both of us found to be unappealing, a fancy way to display a bunch of picked veggies, the clam dip might as well have been condensed clam chowder, very thick and gauche to eat. The entrées were very good minus the wine sauce that came with the filet medallions, it wasn't simmered enough to cook out the alcohol, quite overpowering. Tea and dessert was delightful however as well as the mint pineapple at the end, very nice touch. Over all it was i nice experience but i would consider one of the other establishments on grandview before going here again.
Great Experience, Great bar – My girlfriend and I dined at the Tin Angel recently, and we both found it to be an excellent experience. The food was well worth the price. We both had steaks and the temps were perfect, and they were seasoned just right! Best steaks we have ever had. And whoever said that the seafood bisque tasted like Campbell's tomato soup was just plain wrong, it was excellent. The view is perfect, the service is perfect, you cant lose here!
Not worth the cost – Based on reviews online and a few from friends, I had high expectations before coming to Tin Angel. However, I was quite disappointed.
The meal started off with Wedding Soup (nothing special) or a fruit cup (just some melons and pineapple). Next was their 'signature' vegetable boat which was a conglomerate of marinated vegetables and some cheese and salami all which could have been bought at the local Giant Eagle. The main course was the only part of this meal that was actually above average (I had filet mignon). The desserts however, were similar to those you'd get at a TGIFridays cheesecake with canned strawberries, vanilla ice cream or a simple parfait.
This restaurant was nothing special and was extremely overpriced. The view was amazing, the service was alright and the food was not even close to what one would expect from a restaurant that charges $50-60 a head.
Great food with wonderful city views – 4 July 04: We had an excellent meal at Tin Angel. Our reservations were for 8pm, but we arrived around 6:30pm as we were told our table was ours for the night and we could arrive anytime after 5pm. Our meal began with a delicious Italian wedding soup, then their signature vegetable boat. I had the filet mignon with two lobster tails (absolutely tender, cooked perfectly. Tony had the Delmonico steak w/mushrooms. Both were served with rice pilaf or baked potato; baked tomato topped with parmesan cheese. I had their cheesecake with strawberries; Tony enjoyed French vanilla ice cream topped with apricot brandy. Our meal and 2 rounds of cocktails and a glass of wine) came to $150. For the quality of the food, the great service, and a great view of the city and fireworks, it was well worth it. We would return there again for a special occasion.
Oh, what a view! The most intimate of Grandview Avenue's cliffside eateries is a romantic haven. – The Scene
Situated on two floors, the narrow dining rooms give everyone--primarily businessmen and romantic couples--a towering view of the city. Service here is friendly and attentive.
The Food
Beginning with fresh fruit cocktail or soup, the table is then presented with a "vegetable boat" of meats and fresh vegetables with a crab dip, as well as terrific stuffed grape leaves. There are 11 main course choices. The beef is excellent, with filets prepared a number of ways, including a black forest, stuffed with black cherries and topped with a bernaise sauce. Dinner also includes a choice of four desserts, as well as fresh pineapple dipped in creme de menthe.

Day 1: Playful Dolphins and Baby Fish
Here's your expedition update for today, from senior campaigns communications manager, Dustin Cranor:
The Oceana Latitude is now anchored off the coast of Key West for the first leg of its two-month expedition.
On our long voyage from Fort Lauderdale, we spotted a lot of sargassum floating on the surface of the water. It's sad to imagine that this floating seaweed is at risk in the Gulf of Mexico because it provides essential habitat for marine animals in the open ocean.
We also had our first interaction with something other than flying fish. As we made our way into shallow waters, dolphins begin surrounding the bow of the ship. They continued entertaining the crew by swimming and eating small fish around the boat for hours.
Oceana also took part in the first activity of the expedition, catching and examining small fish. After allowing the fish traps to soak in the water, Oceana marine scientist Margot Stiles quickly identified several small critters, including baby lobsters, shrimp, crabs and squid.
Here's Margot:

Oil Spill Quote of the Day
Today's Oil Spill Quote of the Day features Elizabeth Griffin Wilson, one of our very own scientists:
From yesterday's Guardian:
Some 1,020 sea turtles were caught up in the spill, according to figures (pdf) today – an ominous number for an endangered species. Wildlife officials collected 177 sea turtles last week – more than in the first two months of the spill and a sizeable share of the 1,020 captured since the spill began more than three months ago. Some 517 of that total number were dead and 440 were covered in oil, according to figures maintained the Deepwater Horizon response team.

10 Ways the Oil Spill Could Affect Marine Life
While oil-covered birds have become an emblematic image of catastrophic oil spills, sea birds aren't the only ones affected. Oil is extremely toxic to all wildlife, and the toxic effects on marine life begins as soon as the oil hits the water.
Here are 10 examples of how marine life may be affected by the Gulf spill in the coming days, weeks and years

Happy February Friday!
Things will be quiet around here next week as we head to Pennsylvania for Oceana's annual international all-staff meeting. Hopefully these links will tide you over until then:
This week in ocean news,
...Slow and steady wins the carbon footprint race. Danish shipping giant Maersk cut its cruising speed in half the last two years, which cut greenhouse gas emissions and fuel consumption as much as 30 percent. If global shipping were a country, it would be the sixth largest producer of greenhouse gas emissions.
...After being removed from the endangered list in November, the brown pelican's recovery has hit a speed bump. Hundreds of pelicans have been found dead from a mysterious ailment that could be caused by ocean pollution or runoff.
...Miriam presented this month's Carnival of the Blue in singable couplets. 'Nuff said.
...In case you didn't know, the Mariana Trench is really, really, really deep. And humans, by extension, are really small. Have a look at this scale illustration.
...New research shows that heat-resistant algae may buy some time for coral reefs threatened by climate change.
...New research on diseases found in dolphins could have implications for research on human diseases, including diabetes, epilepsy and certain viruses.
Whale Wednesday: Going Batty Edition
Bats and toothed whales share the ability to squeak and click their way to prey. And now two new studies in this week's journal Current Biology reveal that their echolocation, which evolved independently in the two groups, has a similar underlying molecular mechanism.
There are plenty of examples of evolutionary convergence, such as the tusks of elephants and walruses, or the bioluminescence of fireflies and jellyfish.
But it's highly unusual for convergence to occur at the molecular level. Turns out the inner ear hair cells of both the bottlenose dolphin (a toothed whale) and 10 species of bats contain a protein called prestin, which plays an important role in echolocation.
But not all echolocaters are created equal. Because the speed of sound in water is five times that in air, dolphins can use echolocation for more than 100 meters. Bats can only do so for a few meters.

Oceana Adoption Center Open for the Holidays
Have you ever tried to gift wrap a shark? Put a bow on a polar bear? Wrangle a penguin into a gift box? Thankfully, you don't have to actually wrap up an animal to give an Oceana gift. I'm so excited to tell you that the Oceana Adoption Center is open for business!
All the familiar creatures are back this year - sharks, sea turtles, octopuses, polar bears, penguins, seals, dolphins and whales - and we've made a special addition too. We are now offering The Casey Kit, a deluxe limited-edition sea turtle adoption inspired by Casey Sokolovic, a young ocean hero who has been baking and selling cookies to support the rescue and rehabilitation of sea turtles.
Until wrapping paper comes in rolls large enough for a hammerhead, Oceana's adoptions are the best way to give the ocean-lovers on your list the perfect holiday present. Make sure to order before December 15 to get free holiday shipping. Your tax-deductible donation is not only a thoughtful gift to a lucky friend or family member, but it helps us here at Oceana do our work – protecting the oceans all over the world.
EU Court Rules Against Italy for Use of Driftnets
In a big victory for our colleagues in Europe, yesterday the EU Court of Justice found Italy in violation of EU law for the country's continued use of driftnets, a fishing gear banned since 2002.
Driftnets, which float freely, sometimes for miles, are a serious threat to cetaceans, sea turtles, sharks and fish in the Mediterranean. Hundreds of thousands of whales and dolphins are killed each year by driftnets.
The day before the decision, Oceana presented its latest report on the use of driftnets in the Mediterranean and stressed that the Court's judgment was an essential step in eradicating the use of the fishing gear.
The Oceana report contains photographs from 2008 of 92 vessels with driftnets on board, 80 percent had already been identified during campaigns in previous years.
Xavier Pastor, Executive Director of Oceana Europe, said, "The judgment is an important milestone in the elimination of driftnets from the Mediterranean. At last we may be moving towards the end of this illegal fishing gear, seven years after the EU banned their use."
Over several years of campaigning in the Mediterranean, Oceana has documented and reported how driftnets, despite the ban, continue to be used, not only in Italy, but also in other areas of the Mediterranean such as Morocco, Turkey, and until recently, France.
Congratulations, Xavier and team!

Happy Friday, all! This week in ocean news, ...The New York Times described the threats facing sea turtles who nest on Miami's popular beaches. ...New research indicates that because killer whales in the Puget Sound must raise their voices to be heard over the din of boats, they may be exhausting themselves as they try to find food. ...Thanks to the loss of Arctic sea ice, two German ships are poised to become the first to go from Asia to Europe in the Arctic waters north of Russia.

Dispatches from Ranger: Dolphins!
As promised, I'll be bringing you regular updates from the Ranger expedition to the Canary Islands. Here's one from last weekend. -Emily Almerimar-Chipiona Voyage. Saturday, August 15, 2009 By Silvia Garcia Sunny, calm during the morning, and strong gusts of wind in the Strait. Last night we left Almerimar bound for Chipiona which will take us about 30 hours of sailing. Going through the Strait has entailed sailing with the sails up because of the gusts of wind we have come across after coming from a completely calm Alboran Sea. Of course, in the Strait, we have sighted numerous cetaceans, normally family groups, of both long-finned pilot whales and common dolphins and striped dolphins; a mixed group of common and striped dolphins swam alongside the ship's bow for quite awhile. On several occasions there were some babies and juveniles in these groups. We also came across a huge ocean sunfish (Mola mola) sunning, and a good-sized patch of sargasso (Sargassum vulgare) adrift, uprooted from the ocean bottom by a storm or aggressive fishing gear.

Whale Wednesday: Whales on the Brain
A few weeks ago, I wrote about research that suggests whales and dolphins have cultures the same way humans do. A recent article in the Smithsonian Magazine points to similarities in the brains of social animals -- whales, great apes, and yes, humans -- that might explain the ability to work within social structures. Combining lab research with fieldwork and medical studies, scientists have discovered that the presence of von Economo neurons signifies ability to successfully communicate with others. Elephants and whales, like humans, operate in elaborate societies, quickly adapting to changing situations, such as rescuing an abandoned calf. The absence or destruction of these neurons, as in the case with certain neurological diseases, leads to a break down in social skills and adaptability.

Travel propels us beyond ourselves, beyond our previous understandings, to embrace new ways of imagining, new ways of seeing. Embrace that distant shore...Journey Beyond the Ordinary™
Request our Asia travel catalog, featuring Asia and Pacific travel and destination information, maps, insider tips, and beyond-the-ordinary ideas for your next journey.
Asia Transpacific Journeys is the only Asia specialist named "Top 10 Tour Operator" in the "World's Best Awards" by the readers of Travel + Leisure magazine.
We established our non-profit Foundation in 1998 to deepen our
connection to Asia and return the kindness and generosity that has
so touched our lives, as well as the lives of our travelers.
Travel insurance is important, that's why we provide a complimentary $200,000 Emergency Medical Evacuation and $5,000 Emergency Medical Insurance with each itinerary we create. However, we highly recommend purchasing additional travel insurance that includes trip cancellation among other coverages.
In addition to the policy we include for emergency situations, we highly recommend supplemental coverage options from Travel Insurance Select, or another insurance provider of your choice, to provide you with your choice of the following coverages:
We are unable to vary from our stated cancellation & refund policy regardless of cause. Your best protection is to purchase supplemental travel insurance with trip cancellation and trip interruption coverages.
You will receive more information on how to purchase supplemental insurance upon sign up, or visit Travel Insurance Select online to review or purchase the plans we recommend. Please note, when purchasing supplemental travel insurance from Travel Insurance Select, the Emergency Medical Evacuation and Emergency Medical Insurance that we provide with each trip increases your coverage for emergency medical evacuation and emergency medical expenses.
For maximum benefits you should purchase your insurance within 15 days of your initial trip deposit. The plans offered by Travel Insurance Select will NOT include a pre-existing conditions waiver or Cancel for Any Reason (Elite Plan only) if insurance is purchased after this time period.
A new condition, a change in medication or dosage during the 60-day period immediately prior to the insurance purchase would be considered a pre-existing condition. The taking of medication to control an on-going condition, if the medication or dosage does not change, is not considered a pre-existing condition. A heart condition, high blood pressure, asthma, etc. may be considered by most to be a pre-existing condition but not necessarily with Travel Insurance Select as long as the condition remains stable within that 60-day period. This only applies to the traveling parties and not immediate family members.

JONESVILLE — During Monday night's meeting The Jonesville School Board approved a 2 percent pay raise for its teaching staff each of the next two years.
The raises came after concessions from the teaching staff, said Superintendent Chellie Broesamle.
The board also approved Broesamle's contract for a three-year term. The new contract came with a $5,000 raise for 2013-14 and a 2 percent raise each of the next two years. The raise will be split between the Jonesville Community Schools and Reading Community Schools.
The school systems dual superintendency agreement between Jonesville and Reading will also continue.
"Both districts are more than satisfied with the way things are going," said Mitchell Funk, board member.
The board also approved a $14.1 million general fund budget for 2013-14 after a public hearing Monday night.
Although the budget shows a net loss, Broesamle said, "We have a very solid fund balance."
Pittsford High School graduate Brian McDowell will be joining the staff of Williams Elementary School as a fourth grade teacher in 2013-14. The board approved his hiring.
McDowell is returning to the state after teaching for seven years in North Carolina. He taught sixth and seventh grade science and social studies. He was awarded Teacher of the Year from his building and county in 2010. He is nationally board certified and a graduate of Western Michigan University.
The board also approved the repair of a heat exchanger at the middle school. The board approved the contract with Morris Mechanical for $15,000. There were three bids received for the project; Morris Mechanical presented the middle bid.
Broesamle said the school system has dealt with Morris Mechanical in the past and they have always done good work.
Kathy Kelly, coordinator of the school's Buddy Reading program, updated the board on the success of the 2012-13 year.
She said it was a very successful year with 98 volunteers helping with the program. Fifty-three were local college students.
The program pairs students and adult mentors together as reading buddies. The program is offered to first, second, fourth and fifth-graders.
In other business:
• Smith Dairy was awarded the milk bid for 2013-14
• Aunt Millie's was awarded the bread bid for 2013-14
• Changes were approved to the elementary school handbook
• Fall and winter coaches were approved
• Sixth grade language arts teacher Annie Sims resigned
The next meeting will be at 7 p.m. July 15.
