DEP officials, though, also have tried to downplay any connection between the storm-water permit and the leak. Huffman said, for example, that the permit alone doesn't give his agency authority to set specific standards for the integrity of above-ground storage tanks -- something that legislation moving through the Senate would do.
Environmental groups don't necessarily disagree that more specific standards for such tanks are needed. They just think that a much broader approach, including a rethinking of the state's common jobs-versus-the-environment rhetoric is what's needed.
The Rivers Coalition-Downstream Strategies report, for example, urges the Legislature to require the DEP to inspect all facilities across the state that have any kind of water-pollution permit -- something the public might be surprised to learn isn't already mandated. And, the report recommends that the DEP no longer be allowed to grant storm-water permits to industrial facilities near drinking-water intakes through the much-less rigorous "general" permitting program.
General permits "are intended to be reserved for categories of activities with minimal environmental impact and are used to make permitting more efficient," the Rivers Coalition-Downstream Strategies report said.
Under this program, the DEP issues what it calls a "general permit" that contains basic requirements for controlling storm-water pollution. Companies then register with the DEP under the program, promising on paper that they'll comply with its basic requirements. Frequently, there is little follow-up by the DEP.
"Our presence at this or any of these sites is reactive in nature," Huffman said in a Jan. 20 interview.
"This incident could have been prevented or minimized just with the regulations we have in place," Huffman said, "but it just didn't click in anybody's mind that this was a concern."
'This is a different kind of animal'
Pat Parenteau, an environmental law professor at the Vermont Law School, said that's part of the problem with the DEP allowing such a site to be covered by a general permit program.
"It's no surprise that there was weak follow-up and enforcement on a general permit," Parenteau said. "That program isn't really designed for facilities like this. This is a different kind of animal."
Parenteau said the Elk River leak also is symptomatic of what happens when agencies have media-specific inspection procedures, rather than combined efforts that include things like air and water together.
"You have this sort of tunnel-vision approach," Parenteau said. "Media-specific inspections often miss violations of other sorts of media. It doesn't surprise me that the air-quality guys would go out there and pay no attention to spill prevention of any kind. That really isn't their job."
Johnnie Banks, a supervising investigator with the U.S. Chemical Safety Board, told lawmakers Friday that it's easy for companies and for regulators to, over time, ignore things like the odors residents complained were coming from Freedom Industries.
Often in industrial settings, Banks said, odors can become "normalized," so that workers don't really notice them. The same thing can happen with warning alarms about leaks. If little leaks set off alarms too often, workers can grow to ignore them as "nuisance alarms."
"If it becomes part of the lay of the land," Banks said in a later interview, "people get used to it."
In its report on the Upper Big Branch Mine disaster, a team led by longtime mine-safety advocate Davitt McAteer made the same point.
"'Normalization of deviance' refers to a gradual process through which unacceptable practices or standards become acceptable," the McAteer team wrote. "As the deviant behavior is repeated without catastrophic results, it becomes the social norm for the organization. Individuals who challenge the norm -- from within the organization or outside it -- are considered nuisances or even threats."
'High' susceptibility to contamination
The DEP isn't the only state agency whose inactions could have played a role in the Jan. 9 leak at Freedom Industries. In their report on the incident, the Rivers Coalition and Downstream Strategies discussed the Department of Health and Human Resources' role.
In April 2002, the DHHR's Bureau for Public Health assessed potential threats to the Elk River water supply that West Virginia American Water uses to provide drinking water to 300,000 people in nine counties.
Agency officials ranked the Elk's water as having a "high" susceptibility to potential contamination from a variety of industrial, commercial, municipal and agricultural sources. The report lists only two sources by name: The Allegheny Power Co. and Pennzoil Manufacturing, which previously operated the tank farm now owned by Freedom Industries.
The Rivers Coalition/Downstream Strategies report notes that the DHHR assessment is 12 years old "and out of date."
"Since 2002, the Pennzoil site has changed ownership . . . the types of materials stored at the site have changed as well," the report said. "Effective management of the risk of source water contamination required accurate, up-to-date information about potential hazards."
The DHHR assessment notes that the "next step" in protecting the Elk's drinking-water supply is to prepare a plan for doing so. However, the Rivers Coalition/Downstream Strategies report says, no such protection plan appears to have ever been written -- by the water company, by state officials or by local government planners.
Laura Jordan, a spokeswoman West Virginia American, said the water company has the 2002 assessment on file and, "I am not aware of any more-recent report."
Likewise, DHHR spokeswoman Allison Adler said the 2002 assessment is "the most current information" her agency has.
Jennifer Sayre, Kanawha County manager, said her staff searched county computer files and could not locate a copy of the 2002 Elk River assessment, or any memos regarding it.

Ran 5 miles today for the first time! Been running for about 8 weeks now. I did it in 44 minutes. This is the first time I actually timed myself. Not that I was trying to beat a certain time but I was just curious how I was going to do. I'm just glad I was able to do it without stopping. Never ever EVER thought I could run 5 miles.

Precinct 5 Constable's Office donates truck to LACC Auction | Community Spirit
Title (Max 100 Characters)
Released by The Lindale Area Chamber of Commerce:
LINDALE, TX (KLTV) - In April 2010, Deputy Mark Waters made a traffic stop on I-20 of a 2001 Ford F-150 pickup. During the traffic stop Deputy Waters located contraband inside the dash of the truck. The vehicle was taken to Precinct 5 Constable Dennis Taylor's Office in Lindale. Nine bundles of US Currency were removed from inside of the dash with the assistance of P & O Wrecker Service. The vehicle was later towed and stored in Lindale. Following the investigation the vehicle was abandoned and never claimed by the defendants. P & O Wrecker Service donated the truck back to Precinct 5 Constable Dennis Taylor's Office. Constable Taylor felt the vehicle would better benefit the Lindale Area Chamber of Commerce and therefore donated the vehicle to the organization.
The Lindale Area Chamber of Commerce Board of Directors has accepted the vehicle from Precinct 5 Constable Dennis Taylor's Office and will be auctioning it off at this year's Annual Banquet on Monday, April 18th.

There may be a great management guru; a leader in some craft or trade, a great poet, writer, musician or painter who had and have followers even after his or her death but that is limited to their trade or art. There were great kings like Alexander, Ashoka or the Roman Emperor but their influences ended almost with their reign. The great revolutionaries who lead the French revolution, Russian or Chinese revolution were great leaders of their time; a great dictator like Hitler, Stalin or Mao-Zedong were leaders during their time for specific period and invariably forgotten after their term was over; not only forgotten, their actions further analyzed. Dictators are usually hated even during their time though they might be all powerful. And there might be or may be cult figures like the great religious fanatic recently killed or leader of the terrorists but their time ends with them, may be remembered by few followers, the like minded people who form some communities but they never constitute the people. Even without being a dictator or cult leader some leaders of democratic country like USA or UK pursued the policy of suppression of other weaker nations like Vietnam, Afghanistan or Iraq under different pleas to satisfy a sense of satisfaction and national ego, gaining votes of the people but that too was temporary as such acts were later vigorously opposed by the people of the country like United Kingdom or USA. Even the recent action in Syria by France may be so categorized.
There were and are men of history, leaders by virtue of their position in different offices but when we talk about the great leader it invariably means leader of the people whose leadership did not or does not cease with their reign or their time. It is because they made a turning point in history as leader of the people which is ever remembered in human history and the people of his time and after never forget him because he was and is loved by most.
We may present below some extraordinary leaders to verify our assumption.
Napoleon Bonaparte Few men in history have had such an impact on world history and he easily ranks along side such leaders as Alexander the Great and Genghis Khan. Like those leaders he was an authoritarian leader and a dictator. Napoleon was a tremendous innovator and administrator. Napoleon is often described as being ruled by a gigantic ego. His lust for power, his dismissal of democracy and the establishment of Empire, all are seen as benchmarks of rampant ambition. Comparisons with contemporary leaders are regarded as irrelevant or even futile, presumably because Bonaparte is assumed to have been greater than they, and presented with unique opportunities though all squandered on a quest for personal aggrandizement. As the leader of a totalitarian state, Napoleon made his own ambitions synonymous with those of France. With few abridgements to power, he was able to act as he saw fit, and is judged accordingly. Fact is almost all the European states reflected the egos of their monarchs, and few of them were intent on fostering democracy, limiting their borders, or improving civil rights. Rather, each used their position to satisfy their ambitions, expand their borders, and increase their control over the nobility and populace. There was little respect for minor states like Italy or Poland and the borders were redrawn after each conflict. Bonaparte, in this company, seems to be regarded as megalomaniacal largely because he did not inherit his position, but achieved it by aggressively pursuing the same agenda as those born to power and doing so more effectively. It seems that absolutists may be forgiven their sins for being born to them, but parvenus are guilty for having freely chosen them. Of course, Bonaparte was anything but pure, anything but modest, anything but democratic, and anything but a peacemaker. Abraham Lincoln
Abraham Lincoln, the 16th president of the United States, guided his country through the most devastating experience in its national history; the Civil War. He is considered by many historians to have been the greatest American president. He will ever be remembered for his simple life and great ideals, for his fight for the American people. For holding the human flag high among the nations of the peoples. Lincoln's achievements; saving the Union and freeing the slaves, and his martyrdom just at the war's end assured his continuing fame. No small contribution was made by his eloquence as exemplified in the Gettysburg Address on 19.11.1863 in which he defined the war as a rededication to the egalitarian ideals of the Declaration of Independence and in his second inaugural address on 4. 3. 1865, urging "malice toward none" and "charity for all" in the peace to come.
M. K. Gandhi who is known for his Ahimsa or non-violent movement against violent enemy and against all odds on the basis of his will power and soul force, for his capacity to endure immense suffering, for undertaking fast for long period, even unto death to resist what he felt unjust act of the Government or Governments, for his revolt against all sorts of oppression against the helpless people, for demanding environmental protection against giant industries, against luxurious living, for propagating the need to live according to nature and within respective means, honestly and sincerely. He will ever be remembered by the people as a champion of honesty and sincerity. He will be living in the memory of the people for his humanitarian role among the people, not as leader of the Indian freedom movement where he failed as a politician. The British did not leave India because of his non-violent movement and fast but for other reasons, for violent revolt and resistance, besides movement by Gandhiites. His presence and influence among the people of India and outside are gradually waning, more because his ideals are not followed, perhaps because they are not compatible with average human nature. Though his political party has been still using his name for furthering their own cause, his memory is fading among the people. If at all he lives in the mind of the people it will be as a non-violent social leader.
Marin Luther King, Junior remained a Christian Baptist. He never joined any political group and remained an example of an individual who fought on the basis of religious belief and humanitarian faith with real soul force. In spite of all human frailties he was one of the champions of anti apartheid movement, fighting for equality and human rights. His aim was the establishment of civil rights, opposing segregation of the blacks and demanding voting rights for them.
Gradually the black movement widened even after his death in its scope as the rights of all blacks in America were gradually accepted as a result of his movements for the emancipation of the poor from all disparities, invoking social justice for all segments of society, opposing the anti racist order of the American society. Finally his movement spread beyond America in its scope. He vehemently opposed America's role in Vietnam even when not supported by his own group.
Nelson Mandela who was in Jail for 27 years, created a record for an individual fighting for a cause. The people of South Africa, whole of Africa, nay the whole world will always remember him as a leader of the people, himself a symbol of freedom from racial division, division on the basis of color of humanity. He was a champion of the anti-apartheid movement.
The Spiritual Leaders
Then there comes to mind a separate category of leaders who are spiritual and have influenced the humanity through their lofty and sublime acts during their lifetime and continue to influence them or ever. In India there were quite some bright names in modern time even leaving aside the names of the ancients. They are Sri Ramakrishna, Swami Vivekananda, Sri Aurobindo, Raman Maharshi and Saibaba, to name a few. But no religion was founded after their departure as it happened with Gotama the Buddha or Jesus Christ, to name the prominent among them.
Rabindranath Tagore
And then are the rare names of leaders of literature and culture. It may be said that Rabindranath Tagore, the first noble laureate in Asia in Literature, whose 150th Birth Centenary is being celebrated throughout the world, was such an undisputed leader in his life and beyond that the whole of Indian continent has remembered him and has adored him through his works in diverse walks of life, art and literature, specially remembering him as poet of sublime love. I do not bring his name as a practitioner of different literary art forms only for in that sphere there are certainly some other great and distinguished names like Homer, Valmiki, Kalidas, Dante, Shakespeare and more, throughout the world but because he was a leader of the people in the field of Indian freedom, in the field of education, as a reformer and as the foremost representative of the Indian culture, a representative of world culture, the most desired mouth piece of India. That the people have not forgotten his role as a pioneer of Indian life and culture is proved by the massive support of his life and work now as observed throughout India and abroad.
Some of the Present Heroes
Political leadership continues. The Indian leaders during the freedom movement and immediately after independence, whatever they were, some of them were renowned international personalities like Pandit Jawharlal Nehru, they did not do corruption with public money. Now the position is entirely reversed. Corruption in public life in India is a great plague ruining progress. However, among the present Indian leaders mention may be made of Narendra Modi of Gujarat who, in spite of some pitfalls and opposition from various quarters, has proved to be a courageous leader of the people and able administrator. He has been regularly supported by his people as a leader. Ms. Mamata Banerjee and her party has just own seats in West Bengal Assembly with massive majority and has formed Government; she has just taken oath as the first woman Chief Minister of the state of West Bengal after the independence. We have seen how with utmost determination and dexterity she has won the heart of the people to oust the Communist led Government after long 34 years. The other women Chief Ministers in India are Ms. Jayalalitha, of Tamil Nadu and Ms. Mayavati of Uttar Pradesh. Mamata has become one of the distinguished ladies, a remarkable woman politician with a sort of ranking with such world leaders as Queen Elizabeth II of U K; Queens of U K, Denmark and Netherlands; Federal Chancellor Angela Merkel, Germany; Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina Wajed, Bangladesh; Prime Minister Julia Gillard, Australia; Prime Ministers of Iceland, Croatia, Bermuda; Presidents of Lithuania, Kyrgyzstan, Costa Rica, Brazil, Switzerland and heads of many other sovereign states including the women Chief Ministers of India.
People have recently rejoiced when Barack Obama, a representative of the Black Race of the Globe, adorned the post of the President of the U.S.A. taking the cues from Abraham Lincoln freeing the slaves, Martin Luther King (Junior) opposing the segregation of the Blacks and Nelson Mandela championing the anti-apartheid movement. But he has been observed as any other American President, pursuing the same policy. All such leaders are still working in their respective positions. Time has not come to utter any verdict about their greatness or otherwise.
From the foregoing discussion I feel that we have already seen some great leaders of the people who inspired us during their lifetime and are still inspiring us like: Gotama the Buddha, Jesus Christ, Abraham Lincoln, Martin Luther King, Swami Vivekananda and Rabindranath Tagore. I do not and cannot say that I have covered all the world leaders but have named a few only. There are others who still stand with massive human support. Among those I have spoken some are still the real leaders but it may be that their followers are lesser in numbers though that may further grow in the passage of time for no point of time is final to decide anything absolutely.

Full description for Homer and the Odyssey
Who was Homer? This book takes us beyond the legends of the blind bard or the wandering poet to explore an author about whom nothing is known, except for his works. It offers a reading of the ancient biographies as clues to the reception of the Homeric poems in Antiquity and provides an introduction to the oral tradition which lay at the source of the Homeric epics. Above all, it takes us into the world of the Odyssey, a world that lies between history and fiction. It guides the reader through a poem which rivals the modern novel in its complexity, demonstrating the unity of the poem as a whole. It defines the many and varied figures of otherness by which the Greeks of the archaic period defined themselves and underlines the values promoted by the poem's depictions of men, women, and gods. Finally, it asks why, throughout the centuries from Homer to Kazantzakis and Joyce, the hero who never forgets his homeland and dreams constantly of return has never ceased to be the incarnation of what it is to be human. This translation is a revised and much expanded version of the original French text, and includes a new chapter on the representation of women in the Odyssey and an updated bibliography.

Shamrock Money Cakes
Have you ever had a money cake? My grandma used to make them for us when we were kids – she'd wrap coins in wax paper and hide them in the icing layer of our birthday cakes. When you ate your slice, you would always hope for lots of coins! This Saint Patrick's Day, I thought it would be fun to use chocolate coins instead and hide them under shamrock toppers on these miniature cakes. So simple, but what a fun surprise!

The goaltender, known more for his quotes about the universe than his goaltending abilities, mentioned in an article on TSN.ca that he believes certain Russian players will remain in the KHL when the NHL returns from a lockout. Does he have a solid argument or are these quotes ones we should roll our eyes at? It's important to note that Bryzgalov isn't the first to discuss Russian players staying in the KHL after the lockout is over. Alex Ovechkin mentioned something similar, stating he might entertain the notion of staying if the situation called for it and that several of his fellow Russian players might join him. Bryzgalov's statements make a lot of sense. In the TSN.ca article he states: I think some of the players may not return to the NHL because you have everything here and major companies are going to pay the top players here big money. And, especially for Russians players who can play at home in fron...

Callejon has faith in his ability
Real Madrid winger Jose Callejon is cautiously optimistic about his chances at succeeding at the club in his second attempt.
Callejon re-signed for Madrid in the summer in a €5.5 million deal just three years after leaving the club.
The winger, who came on as a substitute in Madrid's 6-0 win over Zaragoza in the opening round of La Liga fixtures, hopes to make a bigger impression at the Spanish giants than some other talented players who have come before him but failed.
"I do not want what happened to Pedro Leon and Sergio Canales to happen to me, though I am aware that on this team only the best play and that it will be hard to play, but I trust my chances," Callejon said at a press conference.
"The atmosphere, the fans, the quality of the players I train with every day and the coach, a great person with a lot of joy both on and off the pitch, everything is great."
The 24-year-old has agreed a five-year contact with Madrid, where he came up through the youth ranks before moving to Espanyol in 2008 without making a first-team appearance for the Bernabeu outfit.

Paul McCartney On World Cafe
By editor
Paul McCartney's new album — fittingly titled New — is reminiscent of a Beatles record. The recent project from the music idol is all over the place stylistically, just like The White Album from his days with the iconic English rock group.
A lively McCartney joins host David Dye at the World Cafe on Friday not only to talk about the release, but also to discuss what it was like during the heyday of the Beatles. McCartney also talks about what it takes to keep his creative flame burning now that he's in his 70s.
A centerpiece of today's conversation involves a song from the new record called "Early Days," which harks back to McCartney's days with John Lennon in the very beginning.

The Oakland Raiders and the Miami Dolphins will be hitting the field shortly for their Week 13 contest at Sun Life Stadium in Miami. The Raiders currently lead the AFC West with a 7-4 record, while the Dolphins are in the AFC East cellar at 3-8.
The Dolphins will be looking to extend their home win streak to three, while the Raiders are trying to extend their overall win streak to four.
Check out the position by position breakdown for this game, and my final score prediction, below.
Pos |
Adv |
Reason |
Neither starting quarterback was a starter to begin the year. Since Carson Palmer has taken over as the starter in Oakland, he has played well, but he has only been ranked ahead of Matt Moore once in ESPN's Total QBR. Moore, meanwhile, has lead the league twice during that span. Name wise, this is Palmer's, but in performance over the past few weeks, this actually leans toward the Dolphins. |
This isn't even close. The Raiders have the 4th ranked rushing offense this year. The Dolphins are 17th. |
ProFootballFocus.com ranks the Oakland wide receivers 13th (Denarius Moore), 49th (Darrius Heyward-Bey and Jacoby Ford), and 56th (Chaz Schilens). Meanwhile, Miami is 46th (Brandon Marshall), 59th (Brian Hartline), and 97th (Davone Bess). On the other hand, Miami's tight end Anthony Fasano comes in as the 5th ranked tight end, while Oakland's top TE is 25th (Kevin Boss). Nearly a push. |
Both teams struggle in pass blocking, but the Dolphins grade much better than the Raiders in run blocking. |
Push |
The two defensive lines are almost identical. According to Football Outsiders, the Dolphins defensive line ranks 14thagainst the run and 14th against the pass. The Raiders come in 13th against the run and 11th against the pass. |
Oakland outside linebacker Kamerion Wimbley ranks as the second best 4-3 outside linebacker in the league, according to Pro Football Focus. Miami's Cameron Wake is the number one 3-4 outside linebacker. Rolando McClain brings the Raiders inside linebackers in with a 29th ranking, while Miami's ILBs are 16th (Karlos Dansby) and 39th (Kevin Burnett). This goes to Miami because the Dolphins are 7th against the run, while the Raiders are 27th. |
The Raiders are ranked 19th against the pass, as compared to the Dolphins at 22nd. However, Miami is ranked that high because of pass rush, not defensive back coverage ability. The last couple of weeks, Miami's corners (Vontae Davis and Sean Smith) have started playing better - but two games doesn't' give me confidence in them yet. |
Push |
This may be the best pure positional matchup on the day, with punters Shane Lechler (Oakland) and Brandon Fields (Miami) both capable of blasting a ball and changing field position. |
Prediction: Dolphins, 27-14. Call me a homer, or whatever you will, but with this game in Miami, and the Raiders having to make the west to east trip for a 1pm game, I think the Dolphins have an advantage.
Record Predicting Dolphins Games: 5-6 (Streak - 1 Incorrect)
Record Predicting All NFL Games: 112-64

Spectrum shares plunge as hospitals switch to cheaper colon cancer treatment
- Tweet
- Share this
(Reuters) - Shares of Spectrum Pharmaceuticals Inc (SPPI.O) fell as much as 38 percent on Wednesday after the company forecast a steep drop in full-year revenue as hospitals increasingly opt for a generic colon cancer treatment over its biggest-selling drug, Fusilev.
Fusilev has had strong sales over the past few years due to a shortage of leucovorin, a generic drug that treats advanced colon cancer in combination with another drug.
Fusilev, known chemically as levoleucovorin, is a purer and higher-priced version of leucovorin that is also used in combination chemotherapy.
The supply of generic leucovorin has increased since Sagent Pharmaceutical Inc (SGNT.O) began selling the drug in October, RBC Capital analyst Adnan Butt told Reuters.
"I think the company was surprised by the speed of the switch to generics," Butt said.
Spectrum, which had said in February that it expected sales to rise this year, forecast on Tuesday that total sales would fall to $160 million-$180 million in 2013.
Fusilev generated revenue of $204.3 million in 2012, about 80 percent of the company's product sales. Spectrum said on Tuesday it expects Fusilev sales of $80 million to $90 million in 2013.
Analysts expect that Fusilev could still generate revenue from clinics, which are less price-sensitive than hospitals.
"We still think it can be a $100 to $150 million drug per year," Butt said.
Spectrum management learned late last week that wholesalers, worried about growing demand for leucovorin, would delay Fusilev orders by at least a quarter, Roth Capital analyst Joseph Pantginis wrote in a note.
Leucovorin has been in short supply since 2008 as manufacturers in the U.S. suspended production or could not match demand for the drug.
Leucovorin is manufactured by Sagent, Teva (TEVA.TA), Bedford Laboratories and APP Pharmaceuticals LLC.
The number of cancer, anesthetic and other drugs in short supply in the United States hit a high in 2011 with 250 medicines, largely due to manufacturing problems.
Spectrum shares, which have risen more than eight-fold since Fusilev was launched in August 2008, were down 35 percent at $8.04 on the Nasdaq on Wednesday.

I checked onlinecomponents.com as well and the 3m capacitive touch screens are sold out. The controllers are still available. I contacted mouser but havent heard back from them yet. Anyone have any other sources for the touch screen?
I found a website for someone to look into.
Crystal Touch 7" up to 10 Simultaneous Touches, Next gen screen
Projected Capacitive Touch Panels + TFT has usb interface
I would choose Crystal, scratch resistant, Multi-Touch has a high resolution of 4096 x 4096, a fast sampling rate of 100 Hz, (10 ms per scan), auto calibration and is not restricted to just touch; panels will also work with a tethered stylus.
Hope this helps
^actually i am going to disagree: in the third pic, there is a shadow at the top, indicating that it is in a higher sunlight area-- the image is still relatively clear, readable, and doesn't appear to be reflecting anything, though that could be a trick of the camera lens.
my stock 619 has none of this, and is almost a mirror with any amount of sunlight..

It sucks.
It's preventable.
It's detectable.
It's too late.
Pick 3.
Cancer hit a little too close to home recently, the details I'll spare, but it really gets you thinking.
The Documentary Forks Over Knives trumpets the plant based diet solution which is FAR healthier than what you're eating now. "But Justin, bacon is awesome and vegan diets are extreme." I'll agree with the maker of Forks over Knives who reminds us that a million people this year will have a vein cut out of their leg and grafted onto their heart. Some would call that extreme.
Then we are finding that study after study of the things that have found their way into our everyday diets are killing us, just like we knew the were. This study reminds us that the soda we drink is not only eroding our teeth and intestines, but increases the risk of prostate cancer 40%. So if you drink a soda a day you go from a 1 in 6 chance to a 1 in 4 chance.
Congratulations, you're dead. Now with more cherry flavor.
I'm not eating a vegan diet. I had a salami and bacon sandwich for lunch today and is was magnificent, but I'm paying more attention to my diet. Local foods grown without needing engineered pesticides or exotic gasses to falsely ripen fruit from another hemisphere. Less soda, NEVER diet soda, less cheese and no milk.
Yes, I said no milk.
"What about calcium for strong bones Mr Smartypants?" Well, you'll never learn it in school but milk is actually TOO MUCH calcium, which leaches it from your bones, not adds to it. Common vegetables, which you're going to start eating more of, give you more calcium than the recommended allowance of bovine breast milk.
Oh, did you forget milk is actually intended for baby cows, not humans?
A serving of broccoli or bok choy has as much calcium as a glass of milk, so why even drink it?
Most of what we've been told about the food we eat is wrong, a distortion or an outright lie. Yes I still eat processed foods but not nearly as much as before. I still grab a burger at the drive through, but not nearly as much as before. I don't think I could ever go vegan, but if it came down to my life depending on it, I'd find a way.
I'm on my soap box hoping that someone, anyone will at least start paying more attention to their body and avoid the situation my friend is in. Some cancers can't be treated, by the time they're detected, by accident, no diet change known to man can reverse what has happened.
The title of this post asks how far you'll go to win. Will you cut out dairy? Meat? Eggs, fish, whatever it takes to get and stay healthy? Exercise more? Teach your children to eat healthy?
Or will you not take this chance and find yourself across from a white coat, getting the news that you have between 6 months and a year, that the cancer has spread, that it's about to take your last breath?
And how far would you go to end life on your terms, no the cancer's?
It's not just an old person's disease. It's not just losing your hair from the chemotherapy treatments (It's the "medicine", not the cancer that does that remember).
Walking dressed in pink or even wearing a kilt for a month, this is day to day shit you need to get dialed in before it's too late. Call me crazy or a granola munching tree hugger, I don't care, but skip the soda and milk for today…then do it again, you owe it to yourself.

Control or Facilitation? The Immigration Town Hall at the CDP Convention
Progressives had many things to feel good about during the 2008 CDP Convention in San Jose.

However, the fate of the Immigration Town Hall, initiated by the Progressive Caucus, was a [...]

Nat King Cole
Nat King Cole
For a mild-mannered man whose music was always easy on the ear, Nat King Cole managed to be a figure of considerable controversy during his 30 years as a professional musician. From the late '40s to the mid-'60s, he was a massively successful pop singer who ranked with such contemporaries as Frank Sinatra, Perry Como, and Dean Martin. He shared with those peers a career that encompassed hit records, international touring, radio and television shows, and appearances in films. But unlike them, he had not emerged from a background as a band singer in the swing era. Instead, he had spent a decade as a celebrated jazz pianist, leading his own small group. Oddly, that was one source of controversy. For some reason, there seem to be more jazz critics than fans of traditional pop among music journalists, and Cole's transition from jazz to pop during a period when jazz itself was becoming less popular was seen by them as a betrayal. At the same time, as a prominent African-American entertainer during an era of tumultuous change in social relations among the races in the U.S., he sometimes found himself out of favor with different warring sides. His efforts at integration, which included suing hotels that refused to admit him and moving into a previously all-white neighborhood in Los Angeles, earned the enmity of racists; once, he was even physically attacked on-stage in Alabama. But civil rights activists sometimes criticized him for not doing enough for the cause.

Chasing a Ghost Of A Good Thing..... Yesterday was awesome and extremely needed. The ride there and back was fun as me and Jacques sang along and danced to all the songs on the radio. It was funny, I even taught him the jitterbug:) We got to the game 2 hours early, so when we got inside the Yanks were on the field warming up so I was like "guys I'm going for a walk" and I went and waited around the dugout to try to get a pic of Arod, don't think i got one that was to great but I tried. The game was good, everytime the Yanks would start doing bad schmidty would be like you aren't allowed to watch anymore, as he believes I am a jinx. But the Yanks pulled out of a 2-1 deficet to win 3-2. Arod is not a 3rd baseman, he's a SS, I miss him playing short, guess it's just the sacrfice I'll have to deal with him to see him play for my Yanks. Tampa is soooooooooo pretty, I hadn't been there in a few years (well besides busch gardens). The water is so much nicer there and I love the city enviroment, I've always thought of myself as a city girl who got raised in the country. I really really really didn't want to come back here, life is so full of drama and conflict here and there I didn't know anyone and there was no drama because I wasn't involved in anything there. About 10 mins after I got home last night caleb knocked on my door in search of a hat he swears he left here, I haven't seen it I have no clue if he had it when I dyed his hair or not. I've been tryng to avoid that kid lately, I get so stressed when I see him. I won't say anymore on that subject, sorry. I really miss going to games all the time, i used to go like once a week back home throughout hs. Yea they were minro league games but just as fun, esp. when Andy Fox was on the team;) The ride home was the best though, the 4 of us just acted stupid, it was like freshman year, people weren't all stuck up or over stressed or anything, all they cared about was acting stupid and having fun. I haven't laughed like that in forever. I even got involved in like stupid inside jokes like I used with shan, like janques rule, and are we done with my weenie now and george is the man, and Uncle puffy, Uncle Kelly and Uncle Kenny. Jacques is extremely amusing! In fact walking home from work just now I saw him and he was putting his car under the parking garage cause he heard it was gonna hail. He showed me the big dent in his hood and then realized he was late and literely ran to the gym. At work, Todd's son, Shane was using my computer and he kept asking me all these questions, it made work go soooooooooo much faster! He seems like a good kid, likes weird al and even has a punk friend. Well, i think it's time for me to clean a little as we're supposed to work on our juevy video tonight, I'm trying to decide if I should mohawk my hair or not. Well, bye

DETROIT (Ticker) -- Not even a big third period could end the Carolina Hurricanes' struggles at Joe Louis Arena. Steve Yzerman set up the game's first three goals as the Detroit Red Wings built a big lead and held on for their 11th straight home win over the Hurricanes, 4-3. The Carolina-Hartford franchise fell to 0-10-0-1 in Detroit since November 14, 1989. But the Hurricanes, who entered with a six-game overall unbeaten streak, did not go quietly. Defenseman Niclas Wallin and Martin Gelinas scored 31 seconds apart midway through the final period and a power-play goal by Bates Battaglia got Carolina within 4-3 with 2:32 remaining. The Hurricanes pulled goaltender Arturs Irbe for an extra attacker in the final minute, but Dominik Hasek stopped their best chance when he snared Jeff O'Neill's backhanded chip from the left side with 31 seconds left. Sergei Fedorov opened the scoring on the power play late in the first period and Brendan Shanahan, Tomas Holmstrom and Mathieu Dandenault tallied in the second for the Red Wings, who recorded their league-leading 10th one-goal win.

Heading into this weekend's final two conference games, the Cleveland State Vikings control their own destiny for the regular season championship and the top seed in the Horizon League Tournament.
If you're reading this, you're probably familiar with the unique format of the Horizon League Tournament. If you're new here, the top two seeds in the regular season are rewarded with a double-bye into the semi-finals.
The rest of the teams begin the tournament on Tuesday March 1st, with seeds 3-6 hosting 7-10 at the campus home of the higher seed.
The quarter-finals and semi-finals are held at the home of the No.1 seed on Friday March 4th and Saturday March 5th.
This means, by the time the top two seeds play their first game of the tournament, their opponent will be playing on back-to-back nights and its third game in five days.
The championship is then played three days later, on March 8th, at the home of the highest remaining seed. This is done to ensure a home crowd for the championship game. The Horizon League doesn't want a scenario that amounts to a neutral site game, say Loyola and UIC playing the championship in Cleveland in front of an empty Wolstein Center, which is exactly what happened in 2002 in the last year of the old format.
This format also protects the top teams and helps them get into the NCAA Tournament. That 2002 scenario also left 25-5 Butler out of the NCAA,
Since the switch to the new format in 2003, the top seed has played in every championship game, and one of the top two seeds has won the tournament in every year except 2008, when No.3 seed Cleveland State upset Butler at Hinkle Field House.
In fact, only two teams not seeded in the top two have even advanced to the championship game, the aforementioned CSU team and Detroit in 2005.
The format change has also helped the Horizon League have unprecedented success in the NCAA Tournament. The HL is one of seven conferences, along with the other six "power conferences", to win at least one game in the NCAA Tournament for six straight years. The League has also advanced a team to the Sweet 16 four out of the eight years since the switch.
Horizon League Standings:
The standings are as close as they've ever been this late in the season, with only one game separating first and fourth place.
1 Cleveland State 12-4, 23-6
2 Butler 12-5, 20-9
3 Valparaiso 11-5, 20-9
4 Milwaukee 11-5, 16-12
5 Wright State 10-7 18-12
6 Detroit 9-8, 15-15
7 Green Bay 7-9, 13-16
8 Loyola 6-10, 15-13
9 Youngstown State 2-14, 9-18
It's pretty simple for Cleveland State, if the Vikings win their two remaining games, they will win the first regular season Horizon League championship in school history and host the tournament.
If CSU loses a game, things will get hectic at the top. The Vikings could drop as far as fourth with a single loss in the final weekend because of tiebreakers.
Tiebreakers: (skip ahead to the next section if you don't want a tiebreaker-induced migraine)
The first tiebreaker in the Horizon League is head-to-head. CSU is currently 1-0 vs. Milwaukee, and if the Vikings take care of the Panthers on Thursday, it will knock Milwaukee out of the discussion for the top seed.
On the other hand, CSU is 1-1 vs. Valparaiso and 0-2 against Butler and both teams have a chance to catch the Vikings if CSU loses either game.
If two teams are tied in the standings and split the season series, the record against the next team in the standings is used as a tiebreaker.
So, if CSU ties Butler, they lose the 1st tiebreaker because of head-to-head, and if CSU ties Valpo, they lose 2nd tiebreaker because Valpo split with Butler while CSU was swept.
Stay with me.
If more than one team is tied at the top, the cumulative head-to-head record is the tiebreaker. For example, if CSU tied both Butler and Valpo for the top spot, Butler would win the No.1 seed because they are 3-1 vs. CSU/Valpo, while Valpo is 2-2 against the others and CSU is 1-3.
Make sense?
Now, this can go in a million different directions this weekend, but the main point is this, CSU controls its own destiny, but doesn't control any of the tiebreakers if they lose.
All of this does leave Milwaukee in a good spot for the tiebreaker, so they too control their own destiny for the top seed thanks to their remaining game with CSU and their sweep of Butler.
Likely Scenarios:
If CSU wins out, they're the champs.
If the Vikings lose to Milwaukee, CSU is probably the fourth seed with Milwaukee grabbing the No.1 seed.
If CSU beats Milwaukee and drops the finale to Green Bay, the Vikings are probably the third seed with Butler taking the No.1 seed thanks to its sweep of the Vikings.
Valpo can still claim the top spot if they win out, but they would need CSU to beat Milwaukee and then lose to Green Bay, as well as have Butler lose its last game at home to Loyola.

The apartment doesn't feature a lot of furniture. Although all furniture that can be found there is very functional and lightweight. If This apartment is a perfect example of how you well you can style and decorate a small living space. It's cozy, bright and cheerful. There aren't many walls in it because that is the only way to make small space more spacious. Everything is painted in white because that is an another way to visually enlarge the space. Some gray and green accents make the interior more livable and interesting. The bedroom is separated from the kitchen by a large screen covered with a vinyl plant motif. The bedroom features a large wardrobe, a double bed and several shelves. The kitchen features several storage drawers, all necessary appliances the bar area and three suspended lamps that separate the space. That allows the light penetration without losing privacy. The bathroom is also a very cozy place which features a glass shower, glass shelves and a washing machine on a very small footprint.via
