Governor David Paterson met with city civic leaders on Wednesday to discuss the economic impact of the State Senate stalemate, but the recent selection of Richard Ravitch as lieutenant governor was foremost on everyone's mind. NY1's Grace Rauh filed the following report.
After delivering his bombshell announcement Wednesday, Governor David Paterson raced back to the city for a private powwow with influential New Yorkers from business and civic circles.
Although Paterson's appointment of Richard Ravitch as lieutenant governor was not the official focus of the meeting, it dominated talk before and after.
"I thought it was in the best interest of the public to take this stand and I think it's the right stand," said the governor.
Those in attendance said they wanted to know how this controversial move would propel the state out of its current mess and break the gridlock crippling Albany for the past month.
"We are concerned about the fiscal situation and the economy in general and we need everybody working together," said Kathryn Wylde of the Partnership for New York City.
Ravitch was not in attendance, but many attendees spoke his praise and told NY1 he is a great pick for the post.
Some argued it could help Paterson, whose been doing poorly in the polls.
"He is demonstrating leadership, which is sorely needed in our state," said former Mayor David Dinkins.
"I think this is a good move for Paterson because Dick Ravitch is a quality guy and that's what the state needs now," said Richard Anderson of New York Building Congress.
Yet even though the crowd supports Ravitch, not everyone is certain Paterson has the authority to appoint his own successor.
"I think it's going to end up in the courts. This law has never been tested," said John Catsimatidis of Red Apple Group.
The governor admitted as much when he announced Ravitch's appointment.

Japanese Balloon Bomb - The granddaughter of a World War II veteran from Austin, Texas, has a wartime memento with a note claiming it's a piece of Japanese balloon that floated across the Pacific Ocean in 1945. The alleged balloon scrap could be evidence of a unique weapon in modern warfare: the Japanese balloon bomb. More than 9,000 of these incendiary weapons were launched from Japan during the war via the jet stream with the intention of causing mass disruption and forest fires in the American West. The existence and purpose of the balloon bombs were kept secret from the American public for security reasons, until a tragic accident forced a change in policy. The balloon bombs caused the only fatalities on the U.S. mainland due to enemy action during World War II. HISTORY DETECTIVES host Tukufu Zuberi travels to Austin, Texas and to the Smithsonian's National Air and Space Museum in Washington, DC, to learn whether this souvenir is a missing piece of a secret weapon. Society Circus Program - In her school's drama closet, a young girl from Oregon finds a curious, yellowed circus program that reads "Official Program of Cobina Wright's Society Circus for the benefit of the Boy Scout Foundation, Hon. Franklin D. Roosevelt, President, Season 1933." Who was Cobina Wright and what do the Boy Scouts, FDR and Cobina's Circus - with its lengthy "who's-who" celebrity list - have in common? HISTORY DETECTIVES host Gwen Wright explores New York City's 1930s high society and illuminates a connection between FDR and the Boy Scouts that inspired one of the most popular and effective pieces of the president's New Deal program. Camp David Letter - Maryland's Camp David has served as a presidential retreat for more than 60 years and is possibly best known for the Camp David Accords, the famous Egyptian-Israeli peace agreements signed there in 1978. A self-styled dumpster diver in San Francisco has recovered a windfall of memorabilia that reveals a story of Camp David's beginnings. The salvaged items appear to have once belonged to a three-generation Navy family headed by John H. Kevers. Among photos, dog tags and epaulets, one letter in particular caught the contributor's attention: It's from Ronald Reagan to Kevers' widow, stating "... Captain John H. Kevers gave many years of service to Presidents, starting with Franklin D. Roosevelt ... Because of Captain Kevers, we have the enjoyable facility of Camp David ..." In Los Angeles and San Francisco, HISTORY DETECTIVES host Wes Cowan searches presidential archives and Navy history to pinpoint Kevers' connection to the secret mountaintop hideaway that was FDR's "Shangri-La."

Definition of chromoplast in English:
Line breaks: chromo|plastPronunciation: /ˈkrəʊməplast
, -plɑːst/
Botany- A coloured plastid other than a chloroplast, typically containing a yellow or orange pigment.More example sentences
- In ripening fruit, chloroplasts develop into chromoplasts and there are large changes in stromule number and morphology, particularly in the inner mesocarp cells.
- Although control of gene expression at the transcriptional level is a key regulatory mechanism controlling carotenogenesis in chromoplasts, it is not the only one.
- Conversion of chloroplasts to chromoplasts occurs well before flower opening and thus before the reproductive function of the flower commences.
late 19th century: from chromo-2 'colour' + Greek plastos 'formed'.

Oye Vaquero! | 2011 Kawasaki Vulcan 1700 Vaquero - Baggers Magazine
MAIL email@example.com
Helmet: **Icon Alliance
**Jacket: Icon Accelerant
Gloves: Alpinestars Munich Drystar
Pants: **LL Bean Fleece-Lined Jean
**Boots: Sidi Canyon
To hear it from the folks at Kawasaki, it's like they'd never built a bagger before. Take a look around these pages and there are Road Kings aplenty, so Kawasaki's Nomad with a Lexan windshield and hard bags has qualified for years, but to get to the true heart of the matter with a chopped-up full-touring rig…that had never been done in Vulcanland before. Until the Vaquero.
Randy: "Feliz Navibla!"
Catalina: "That doesn't mean anything!"
Randy: "Well maybe not to you, but to millions of Americans, it means Merry Christmas in Mexican."—My Name is Earl
Vaquero means cowboy and is also slang for "jeans" south of the border. Kawi looks to make a grand entrée into baggerville with this bike, praising the long, low lines and inherent usefulness of the breed. Unlike many Japanese manufacturers these days, they're actually looking to get in enough to come with a significant price savings over other baggers, especially ones with a frame-mounted fairing.
Much of the cost saving can be attributed to something that H-D has done for years. Instead of building a ton of models with independent engines and transmissions, Kawi has made a family of 1700cc cruisers. They include everything from a stripped-down bare-bones cruiser to various levels of touring amenities, all the way up to the full-boat Voyager tourer at the top of the range. Unlike so many other metric tourers that are built-up cruisers, never intended for touring duty, Kawasaki's 1700 family is a true hybrid machine. The base 1700 Classic has the same adjustable shocks and wealth of dashboard information (albeit on a smaller screen) as the top-of-the-line Voyager. The new Vaquero slots just below the Voyager in the lineup, with nearly as many touring amenities, but stripped down for style.
"I'm a cowboy, on a steel horse I ride"
Jon Bon Jovi
While the Kawasaki folks could have dropped on a short shield, blacked out some stuff, lost the top box, and called it a day, they went quite a bit further thinking of the project in terms of designing a new motorcycle. All baggers as we know them owe a debt to the Street Glide, and while that's where most makers start their quest for baggerness, this Vulcan took a different path. Since the top-of-the-line Voyager is a frame-mounted fairing design (like the Road Glide), so is the Vaquero.
"My heroes have always been cowboys"
Willie Nelson
In the stripping-down process, Kawasaki wasn't happy with the line the full-coverage fairing lowers of the Voyager cut on the less hefty Vaquero, so they were re-designed to follow the same line as the front of the upper fairing. They're also quite a bit narrower, allowing more breeze past, while still giving some added protection. I've ridden the Voyager in the summertime and it's quite the shin heater, so for me this was a welcome change. The seat was redesigned as well, with a low-profile unit that tapers to a very small p-pad. The hard bags that reside on the other Vulcan 1700s are large and useful, but pretty bulbous and ugly. Kawasaki designers apparently recognized this and used outward-opening bags similar to the ones that used to come on their Nomad.
What got left behind, besides the obvious, is a trio of acronyms: CB, XM, and ABS. You can buy the first two as add-ons to the sound system, but the third is strictly on the Voyager. Thankfully it keeps the large-diameter 45mm forks of the Voyager for more front-end rigidity.
The end result is a bike that weighs 60 pounds less than the Voyager and looks remarkably familiar, despite cutting a unique profile of its own. Familiar to Harley aficionados will be the side profile of the engine compartment, except the primary drive is on the right side, while the "cone" cover (not the cams) is on the left. Fender fillers are taken right off the bagger menu, while it eliminates the added spotlights of its more hardcore big brother, much like the Street Glide, on the Vaquero the lights are replaced with some snazzy louvers.
_"The vaqueros seemed to treat them with a certain deference but whether it was the deference accorded the accomplished or that accorded to mental defectives they were unsure"
Cormack McCarthy
All the Pretty Horses_
Riding it is what really counts though, and the Vaq doesn't disappoint. Dropping 60 pounds off of a bike is like getting free horsepower, and while the Vulcan isn't crazy fast, it's got a nice fat slice of midrange torque that comes on past 2,500 rpm. Power is delivered in a smooth but soulful manner; you can feel the counterbalanced engine throb under load, in a good way. The gearbox is similarly designed with a good, chunky feel that is absolutely positive as it clicks through the gears. Not that you'll be doing much of that. The six-speed box is geared way tall, with both Fifth and Sixth gears overdriven. Paired with a motor that likes to stay in the midrange, we have yet to find a purpose for Sixth; you can use it, but it just feels weird.
If you see someone riding a horse, and don't have the money to buy one, don't get a donkey for yourself
Pakistani proverb
Handling is on the light side, especially for such a big rig. It turns in readily and holds its line through corners, easily using up its ground clearance, but having plenty for most people. Though you sit low in the machine, it feels like a tall bike when carving corner after corner, falling in a bit, and liking the rider to feed in some throttle and motor out. At 6-foot, I had some buffeting from the short shield, but nothing more than the norm. Thankfully there is a range of windshields in various heights, all taller than the blacked-out shorty that comes stock. The seating accommodations are quite nice, with a relaxed position and a nice reach to the boards that should fit most. The bars are a bit close for a chimp like me, but bars are always the easiest thing to fix. Deciphering what all the bar controls did was a challenge. The display controls on the right are directly above the cruise control, while on the left, the radio controls were stacked near the horn and the turn signals. I got it before the end of my ride, but I'd be lying if I said there weren't a few beeps and accidental station changes when changing lanes. The problem is that all the switchgear feels roughly the same, especially through gloves.
Out on the open road, there was plenty of time to fiddle with all the buttons, flick through the songs on my iPod (connected via optional accessory), check to see how good the gas mileage was…which was tough, since the range-to-empty gauge goes off of instant fuel economy not history, so the estimate can swing wildly on a road with some character. The sensitive steering isn't all that apparent out on the open road with wind gusts doing little to upset the apple cart. With standard cruise, good speakers, and a nice muted rumble, it's a fine ride for whiling away the miles.
So what is all this cowboy crap, you ask? We don't know ourselves, but riding through the hills of south Texas, I might have heard a little whinny from beneath me…but that might have been from the BBQ we had for lunch.** B**

BRADLEY, W.Va. -- Standing outside Spider's Cycle City, Todd Kelly and Spider Weber have a lot to talk about. They're both businessmen and former Boy Scouts, and they're both looking forward to the first National Scout Jamboree to be held in West Virginia, July 15-24.
The Jamboree will attract Scouts from across the nation to The Summit Bechtel Family National Scout Reserve, a 10,000-acre adventure world, stretching across Fayette and Raleigh counties.
Shops and restaurants, hotels and tourist attractions are in line to benefit from the influx of Scouts and their families, but if you drill down deeper, there are even more ways that the Jamboree can affect the economy.
Take Kelly and Weber, for instance. Kelly deals in Boy Scout memorabilia. Weber has become a licensed dealer of Boy Scout merchandise.
In the back of Kelly's jam-packed SUV, which he drives cross-country collecting and selling Scout memorabilia, he finds a Boy's Life magazine featuring the 1950 Jamboree -- the only one Weber ever attended.
Inside the magazine, black-and-white pictures capture a very different Jamboree, with activities such as knot-tying and first-aid challenges and basic sports like canoeing and archery.
Meanwhile, The Summit offers the world's largest man-made outdoor climbing area, the world's second-largest outdoor skate park and the world's second-largest BMX facility, among many other world-class attractions.
"I've been to Disney World, two World Fairs and I've never seen anything that impresses me like the 10,000 acres the Boy Scouts have developed," Weber said.
The event is expected to attract about 30,000 Scouts and Venturing participants and 8,000 staff and adult leaders. Since construction of The Summit began in 2010, on-site contractors have employed 952 people, 78 percent of whom are from West Virginia. Workers from Fayette, Raleigh and Nicholas counties account for more than 30 percent of in-state workers, according to the BSA.
Additionally, BSA purchased more than $16 million in materials in West Virginia, with more than $9 million spent in Fayette, Raleigh and Nicholas counties.
When Weber found out the Boy Scouts would be his new neighbor and host to the National Jamboree, he wanted to be involved.
"As an old Boy Scout and West Virginia businessman and local citizen here, I want to make the Boy Scout thing work and maybe make a few bucks selling T-shirts," Weber said.
Weber's store already designed and printed shirts in-house, so he thought "why not try and sell official Boy Scout apparel for the Jamboree?"
After several months of negotiations with the Boy Scouts, Spider's Cycle City, which specializes in motorcycle apparel, became an official licensed BSA retailer and has partnered with Belk's in the Crossroads Mall and local Little General stores to carry the merchandise.
Store customers can find various T-shirts, hats and drink holders displaying the official Boy Scouts Jamboree logo.
"The people that are buying it are tourists passing through that were once a Boy Scout who are saying, 'I can't get back to the Jamboree, but I'm going to buy a shirt while I'm here,'" he said.
"If we pay for all of our product and our overhead, I would be very happy because I want to say I was a part of it."
In addition to Weber's Spider Promotions, regional businesses Mountain Boys Coffee, Corporate Identity and East-West Printing sell official BSA licensed apparel.
Christy Pack, operations manager for Belk's at Crossroads Mall, said they're always looking for new business, anything to help with business and with being involved with the community.

Greenwood Block, 1931
Greenwood (Wakefield, Mass.) -- History -- Pictorial works; Wakefield (Mass.) -- History -- Pictorial works.
Photo courtesy of the Wakefield Daily Item.
"Greenwood was originally a part of Charlestown and 'Maldon' during the 1600s. Since it was mandatory for all men to attend church and participate in military drills, the men petitioned the Legislature to allow the village to become a part of Redding somewhere around 1727 because it was difficult to pass through the narrow Indian trails to the 'sea' during the winter months and spring thaw. Greenwood remained a remote area and farming village until 1844 when the Boston to Wilmington railroad began passing through the town. By 1883, the population increased and a new church, the Greenwood Union Church, was built. A commercial building was also built across the street to accommodate the needs of the new residents and businesses. Near the rear of the building, behind the Greenwood Station, was Mr. Locke's Greenwood Grove that was a popular attraction for Boston residents who summered in the area, with its picnic grove, a dance hall, cook house, monkey cage, band stand, and an observatory. This business block at the corner of Main and Greenwood Streets housed several businesses, including the Economy Grocery Store. The white Wonder Bread delivery truck is pictured at the right, as is a personal automobile and a horse and delivery wagon." -- Text from calendar by Jayne M. D'Onofrio.

Smooth, ground taper improves appearance and eliminates cracks that sometimes develop in a rough taper. Each stamp is individually inspected and marked with index on thumb side so you'll always know which way the stamp is facing. Sets of letters consist of 27 characters, including period. Sets of figures consist of nine characters from 0 to 8, the 6 also being used for the 9. Packed in sturdy wooden box with lid.
NOTE: Steel Stamps are intended for softer steels, barrels, etc. DO NOT use on hardened or plated steels, knife blades, tough alloys. Misuse voids guarantee.
SPECS: Steel Stamps stocked in 1/16" (1.6mm) and 3/32" (2.4mm) sizes. The characters are cut into the end of a steel bar measuring ¼" (6.4mm) square x 2-3/8" (6.0cm) long. Purchase as sets or by the individual piece.

One of the top Chilean Cabernets, aged for 12 months in French oak. Sourced from 100 year old vines. Intense ruby in color with red fruits evocations of blackcurrant, chocolate and cigar box, in balance with well integrated oak (French Alliers fine grained oak). Of great complexity in the mouth, in mid palate is full bodied and balanced with a lasting persistence and a remarkable finish. Although a superb wine as it is, it may also be considered as a great wine for cellaring.
With the release of the first Montes Alpha wine back in 1988, Montes became one of the first premium wineries of Chile. Their premise, a clear belief that Chile had an untapped potential as a producer of quality wines, made them a benchmark for other wineries to follow.

(CHEE-lay) Long and thin, Chile has a lot of land north to south. The wine region here is a series of districts based near Santiago. The vineyards are protected by the Pacific on the west and the Andes mountains on the east. This could help explain why the climate changes more from east to west than north to south - also why the country has remained phylloxera free....Read More About Chile
(cab-uhr-NAY sow-veeh-yawn) King of Red Many refer to Cabernet Sauvignon as the king of red grapes. Perhaps that title is due to its ability to grow worldwide in a number of climates, or to the fact that it produces wine with such character yet such diversity. Either way, this grape is responsible, as a whole or a partner, for some of the greatest wines in the world. In Bordeaux,...Read More About Cabernet Sauvignon

In a 2004 Gallup survey on the honesty and ethical standards of various professions, nurses topped the list for the fifth year out of six. But public confidence in health care professionals and health systems is being eroded by counterfeit medicines. Patient health is being put at risk and we strongly believe that the time to act is now. Counterfeit medicines are unsafe and ineffective. They result in wasted resources spent on purchasing, inventory, transport and dispensing with little or no effect or even with disastrous patient outcomes such as poisoning, disability and death.
This year's IND theme of Nurses for Patient Safety: Targeting Counterfeit and Substandard Medicines is the launch and centrepiece of an ICN led multi-sector campaign including other health professions, patient groups, industry and regulators. The campaign aims to:
- Increase awareness of the existence and consequences of counterfeit medicines.
- Provide tools to identify counterfeit drugs and to report any suspicious medicines.
- Encourage nurses and other health professionals to lobby governments and regulatory authorities for attention to the existence and dangers of counterfeit and substandard medicines.
Nurses are on the frontlines of health, administering and often prescribing medicines, particularly in primary health care settings. We are well positioned to monitor drug effects and side effects and must be vigilant for signs of counterfeiting such as improper packaging and labelling. Nurses also have a key role in educating the public about the dangers of buying medicines through the Internet or on the streets from unauthorized sources.
Our patients have trust and confidence in us; it is our duty to uphold that trust. By targeting counterfeit medicines, nurses can help ensure the safety of patients and restore the public's trust in health care systems.

August 25, 2005
One of the many challenges that the next elected governor of the Commonwealth will face is transportation. But not every candidate is willing to address Charlottesville's specific needs. The Charlottesville Chamber of Commerce asked some tough transportation questions in letters to the candidates for governor. The Chamber received the letters back today, but didn't get the same response from everyone.
"Transportation has taken a back seat for too long," said Timothy Hulbert of the Charlottesville Chamber of Commerce.
Hulbert sent a letter to each of the candidates for governor asking for their support in three key local transportation projects, the Meadowcreek Parkway, U.S. 29 Western Bypass, and the Hillsdale Drive Extension.
"It was important for us to share our views with someone who will be the next governor of Virginia," said Hulbert.
Candidate Jerry Kilgore replied back indicating his support for the Meadowcreek Parkway and the U.S. 29 Western Bypass, but declined to support the Hillsdale Drive Extension. However, candidates Tim Kaine and Russ Potts declined to support any of the three listed priority projects.
In letters back to the Chamber, Kaine simply stated, "I am committed to action on transportation in 2006. I will ensure that resources meant for transportation are used on transportation."
"If all of the local transportation issues share these problems, it brings me to one unavoidable conclusion: transportation is a statewide crisis requiring a statewide solution," Potts responded.
"I don't necessarily think it's surprising to see the candidates fail to specifically mention some of the local projects like the Meadowcreek Parkway and the Western Bypass. There are a lot of projects around the state of Virginia," said Matthew Smyth from the UVa Center for Politics.
But experts like Smyth feel it is very important to know this information to be able to make an informed decision when it comes to voting time.
The Chamber of Commerce is hoping that the next elected governor will help Charlottesville take a step towards less congestion. Right now the only transportation project that is fully funded is the Meadowcreek Parkway.

Marisol Malibu Showcase Home For $17 million, Estate of The Day
Marisol Malibu is the largest major residential development project to rock Malibu in more than a decade. Tucked away near the end of Malibu's 27-mile stretch of coastline near the Ventura County line, the 80-acre development's main showcase home was just listed at $17 million. Also being sold are 16 additional ocean bluff home sites, starting at $4 million.
Malibu hasn't seen this level of pristine land since May Rindge locked up her gates and tried to block the railroad and county road from coming through her home. The Rindges bought the 13,300 acres of Rancho Malibu for $10 an acre in 1892 and while developer Richard Morris is certainly looking to fetch a little more, you can totally see what the Rindges saw way back when. It's just a breath-taking location, and as they say, nobody is manufacturing any more oceanfront land, are they?
Marisol Malibu features a 10,000-square-foot single-story main home. It has a 60-foot-wide great room with 14-foot tall ceilings, a fully equipped wet bar and two master bedroom suites both with oak ceilings and views of the surfers below. There are two other bedrooms with mountain views. The home has a state-of-the-art home theater, an open chef's kitchen, refrigerated wine cellar, gym and landscaped grounds with an infinity-edge lap pool and three patios. There is an outdoor dining pavilion and an ironwood deck on the 4,000 square foot bluff "beach." The home has a water wall of rock quarried from the site and set in a a fern and oak garden. The driveway is made of hand-hewn cobblestones of native rocks. There is parking for 10 cars. All the electronics are centrally controlled b a Creston smart system and 10 security cameras patrol the property.
Including the showcase property, Marisol has 13 oceanfront one-acre estate sites and three two-acre flat sites for estates to be built elevated above the oceanfront sites. There is also a 57-acre hillside retreat that overlooks the whole project and 10 miles of rugged coastline. The lots range from $4 million to $9 million.
Jack Pritchett of Pritchett-Rapf & Associates of Malibu, and Chris Cortazzo of Coldwell Banker Malibu, share the listing.

WOONSOCKET, R.I. — Starting this month, more than 2,000 CVS/pharmacy stores will have special in-store kiosks that showcase the latest trends and innovations in nail care, the retail pharmacy chain said Thursday.
Nail HQ will debut a former salon-exclusive – gel nail technology – with new products from SensatioNail and Sally Hansen. Nail HQ will also feature an array of new shade options and allow shoppers to view polish shades outside of the bottles through nail color strip displays. The Nuance Salma Hayek line, a CVS/pharmacy exclusive brand developed in partnership with actress Salma Hayek, will be introducing the 32-sku nail lacquer collection. In addition, nail brand essie will launch its newest collections at the Nail HQ every month.
The company said its support for the category stemmed from a 40% increase in nail care sales since 2011 and annual double-digit growth every year since 2008.
"With nail care sales booming, it's clear that customers are looking to CVS/pharmacy to find the latest innovation that the category has to offer," CVS/pharmacy VP beauty Cheryl Mahoney said. "With the launch of the CVS/pharmacy Nail HQ, we are able to feature a wide variety of the best new nail trends and technologies that [a customer] can experience in our stores and then apply for herself at home — all with the added convenience of shopping at her local CVS/pharmacy."

- Salt may also refer to table salt (sodium chloride) or iodised salt.
The English used in this article may not be easy for everybody to understand. (May 2012) |
In chemistry, a salt is any neutral chemical compound made of cations (positive ions) attached to anions (negative ions). The main kind of salt is sodium chloride.
Mixtures of salts in water are called electrolytes. Electricity is able to pass through electrolytes, as well as molten salts.
Salts can melt ice, because salts lower the temperature needed for liquid to freeze.[1] Because of that, streets are treated with salt in winter.[2]
A salt can also be explained as an ionic compound which dissociates, forming a positive ion other than hydrogen ion, and a negative ion other than hydroxyl ion.
Table Salt[change | edit source]
- See also Table salt
The word "Salt" in English often means 'table salt' or 'edible salt' (which is salt that can be eaten). This kind of salt is made up mostly of sodium chloride (NaCl). It is one of the few minerals that are eaten a lot by humans, but it can be used for other things besides giving food its flavor.
There are different kinds of edible salt: unrefined salt (for example sea salt), refined salt (table salt), and iodized salt. It is a crystalline solid that has the color white, pale pink, or light gray. It is usually taken from sea water or rock deposits. Natural sea salt has little parts and pieces of other minerals besides sodium chloride. Rock salts that can be eaten are sometimes a little grayish in color because of these other minerals.
Sodium (Na) and chlorine (Cl) are the two elements that make up sodium chloride. Both of these are needed for all living creatures, including humans, but they are not always eaten in the form of salt, where they are found together in large amounts. Some peoples, like the Yanomami tribe in South America, eat very little salt. Salt is used to control the amount of water in the body. Salty flavor is also one of the basic tastes. Salt cravings may be caused by not having enough minerals, like sodium chloride, in the body.
Eating too much salt can make health problems more likely to happen, for example high blood pressure. When food is made, salt is used as a preservative, to make the food last longer, and as a seasoning, for flavor.
Sources of table salt[change | edit source]
There are different ways to get table salt:
- From the sea, using salt evaporation ponds or desalinisation plants
- From a mountain, or underground, using salt mines.
- From natural brine.
- From the supermarket.
History[change | edit source]
Because salt can make things last longer, using it was one of the important things that let civilization get started in places like Egypt. Salt was probably used there as long ago as 4000 BC. In ancient times, salt was worth much more, because it was hard to get, and could be used not only to give foods flavor, but also to make them last longer. Food could now be kept past its season, and taken on long trips.
People often traded salt for other things. It was of high value in China, Greece, the Middle East, and Africa. In the Mediterranean area, including Ancient Rome, salt was even used for money. The word salary comes from the Latin word for salt, because they paid people in salt. After people learned how to get salt from the ocean, salt became cheaper. The Phoenicians were some of the first to figure out how to do this, by pouring seawater on dry land. Then when it dried, they collected the salt and sold it.
Another use of salt was in war, as a way to punish a city by ruining its crops. This is called "salting the Earth". The Assyrians are said to have been one of the first to have done this to their neighbours.
Looks[change | edit source]
Colour[change | edit source]
Salts can be found in all different colours, like yellow (sodium chromate), orange (potassium dichromate), red (mercury sulphide), mauve (cobalt chloride hexahydrate), blue (copper sulfate pentahydrate, ferric hexacyanoferrate), green (nickel oxide), colorless (magnesium sulphate), white (titanium dioxide), and black (manganese dioxide). Most minerals and inorganic pigments, as well as many synthetic organic dyes, are salts.

'Hunger Games' fandom: Can it become a force for good?
'The Hunger Games' is filled with themes of social justice, but efforts to motivate the fandom to fight hunger and join other causes have faltered. The films could change that.
Los Angeles
Themes of poverty, injustice, oppression – and yes, hunger – feature prominently in the story line of "The Hunger Games," the film franchise launching this weekend.
Skip to next paragraphNow, those issues are migrating off the page and silver screen into the real world. Fans of the dystopian world depicted by author Suzanne Collins are being urged to get involved with social-justice issues, such as fighting hunger.
The series is tailor-made for this sort of fiction-to-real world translation, says Catherine Wilson, a political scientist at Villanova University in Philadelphia. "The film has a powerful line" when Katniss, the 16-year-old heroine sent to battle for her family's survival, "addresses the control and manipulation of the food source, proclaiming: 'I refuse to play your game,' " she says in an e-mail.
These words are particularly appealing to the film's young adult audience, says Professor Wilson, who studies social movements. This is "an audience raised on the importance of community service and finding creative solutions to complex social problems."
In February, the World Food Programme of the UN and Lionsgate, the film's distributor, co-created a video to involve "Hunger Games" fans in ending hunger. World Vision, a Christian charity, has more than 100,000 teen "Hunger" fans lined up for an April 27 fast to end hunger.
In another social-action campaign dubbed, "Hunger is not a game," a project of the Harry Potter alliance (HPA) called "Imagine Better" aims to tap "Hunger" fans to support Oxfam's "Grow" campaign, a five point, antihunger initiative aimed at specific Department of Agriculture legislation now being revised in Congress. Moviegoers this weekend are being urged to sign a petition and contact their local representatives.
This move from the couch into the body politic is relatively new for the "Hunger Games" fan base, says Savanna New, a 20-something French teacher from Florida who hosts a weekly podcast on the trilogy.

Week 11: Patriots vs. Panthers
The final game of the Week 11 schedule, the Monday night showdown between the Patriots and Panthers, looks to more evenly matched than anticipated going into the 2013 season. The Patriots, despite their early season offensive woes, are 7-2, while the Panthers are 6-3, sitting with a better record than anyone thought they would have this far into the season. The Patriots are leading the AFC East and are looking to pad their lead with a victory, while the Panthers are hoping for a win to keep pace with the New Orleans Saints in the NFC South. Quarterbacks Tom Brady and Cam Newton naturally own the spotlight heading into the game, but here's a look at some of the more direct matchup that could decide the edge in this contest.

Steve Jobs unveiled the first MacBook Air in early 2008 to mixed reviews, but a series of redesigns and hardware refreshes through the years have resulted in a product line that has had a huge impact on the industry. PC makers have struggled to match the Air's extremely thin and simplistic design, prompting Intel to announce the ultrabook initiative at Computex in 2011.
New for the 2012 MacBook Air is the Intel Ivy Bridge processor sporting Intel HD 4000 graphics, higher capacity storage and memory options, as well as an improved 720p Facetime HD camera, and support for USB 3.0. The 13-inch system also received a $100 price cut, now starting at $1,199.
The new MacBook Air doesn't deviate from the design of previous models, which certainly isn't a bad thing. The notebook is tapered into a wedge shape that is narrower near the front and thicker at the rear. Of course we use the term thick loosely, as the system is still extremely thin and lightweight at only 0.68-inches at the thickest part and 2.96 pounds.

Got something to say? Post a comment-
Oh yeah! Ivy Bridge for the win. Been looking forward to this new processing unit all year.
Very neat article overall. I love the layout/design of it, in general. The photos are nicely placed.
Very state of the art laptop. But 256GB SSD is needed, and then you have to pay $1,499. Combine that with 8 GB of RAM, then you end up with $1,599.
Have you guys seen the ZenBook Prime? Pretty much the same and the same pricing if not more!
I keep going in between Zenbook Prime and Macbook Air to decide on one. The review was great and very informative in terms of Windows OS stand point. I really would love to see a Windows 7 based comparison between Zenbook Prime and Macbook Air.
By the way, I am also wondering if there are improvements on duration of the Windows boot-up/shutdown and sleep/wake-up time with Macbook Air 2012
It is pricey but you get what you pay for, svelt, lightweight, Apple (and windows if needed) netbook.
BTW, I think you meant iFixit and I don't take them as a credible review since they "click bait" to their site for taking Apple's products apart (and make money off Apple selling cheap tools and parts). If they can't sell you parts to fix something, they pan it.
@Guests above. Personally I wouldn't buy an Apple laptop if I wanted to run Windows exclusively. The hardware is great and setting up Boot Camp is painlessly easy as Shawn mentioned in the review. However, if you are serious about your computing you are better served with a good Windows ultrabook. Apple drivers for Windows are somewhat rough, especially the display and trackpad drivers. Mac laptops also get considerably hotter and get less battery life under Windows -- that last part I'm not sure if it's Apple to blame or if OS X is more efficient than Windows, but it's the way it is.
Bootcamp virtualization is the one to blame for battery loss.
There was a recent article / editorial posted here about the "Apple Tax", and if you were to compare apples to apples (pardon the pun), then in many cases, the premium you pay for a MBP or MBA vs. a directly comparable Windows unit is not that much.
The ZenBook is basically the same specs and speed, costs about the same or greater (depending on where you shop), but has a totally inferior keyboard and trackpad to the MBA.
Some aspects of the MBA are simply awesome, but I just can't get over how expensive it is and how hard it is in general to use Apple products with Windows products. Plus I'd have to deal with there being less of my programs and games for Mac than Windows. Its actually pretty much the same reasons I never got into Linux too much (minus the expensive part).
If you want to use windows don't buy a Mac! They are made for Mac users not for windows and vice versa.... If those are you're two options and you like windows and you don't want to use Mac os x mountain lion then get the zen book it's cheaper and works better with
First of all, I'm not a gamer.
I will use my MBA to surf and edit RAW-photos in Lightroom and it works great so far.
I love the touchpad so much. Impressive that you can do so much more than just move the mouse pointer :-)
The looks, the speed, the battery life is simply awesome.
I Love my Macbook Air!

Today is officially the first day of Spring! Does it feel like Spring to you? I didn't think so. It takes us longer than most of the country to get into the Spring thing. We get our "April showers" in March, April, AND May. Once the flowers do come out around here, they are indeed beautiful though. One of the best things about living in the Northwest is the blooming of the cherry trees. The purple ones are out already which you've probably noticed. I love the white flowering cherry trees. You know the one I'm talking about with the huge blossoms. Very pretty. Pretty soon, in just a few days actually, the Skagit Valley Tulip Festival will be here. If you planted tulip bulbs last year, they'll be up soon if they aren't already.
So, even though our Spring takes a little while longer to get into gear, it is really pretty once it does arrive. Now if it would only stop snowing...

TBolt does random call drops.
Rooted, but I've changed the ROM to see if it was the software... made no difference.
Bought another bluetooth headset to see if that was the problem... it wasn't.
I'll be talking to someone using bluetooth, and with no warning, my phone hangs up the call.
Usually happens around the 8 minute mark. Doesn't shut off the phone... just kills the call like I'd hit the off button on my bluetooth.
Any ideas? Is there a setting or something I'm screwing up?
Any ideas would be appreciated.☆ ★ | ROM | [JellyBean][4.3] BeanStalk Build 4.3.1001 - [04 OCT] |★ ☆

On Thursday around 2:15 p.m. Police received a 911 call saying that an adult female had been assaulted by an unknown suspect.
The assault happened in the Harmony Mountain Raches subdivision.
The female victim was showing a male subject a building lot when she was suddenly attacked by the male. The suspect produced a weapon during the assault.
The victim was eventually able to break free and run to a home about a half mile away to obtain help.
The suspect is described as a white male in his mid-30s. He is 5'10", about 160 pounds, with short brown hair, blue eyes, and a deep voice. He is muscular with a stocky build, wide shoulders and a square jaw. He was wearing blue jeans, a light great v-neck shirt with black stripes, a think windbreaker type jacket, and thin cotton/knit gloves.
He was last seen in a 2010 white Subaru Outback with California plates. The vehicle had front end damage with orange paint transfer. It also had black rocker panels below the doors, a black luggage rack and tinted rear windows.
The Iron County Sheriff Office is following up on several leads and working very hard to bring this suspect to justice.

Commencement Speaker
Wells alumna Karen Blum '67 will deliver 2012 Commencement address.
Dear Members of the Class of 2012:
I am pleased to share with you that an extraordinarily accomplished and often recognized Wells alumna, Karen Frankel Blum '67, will be your Commencement speaker this year. Ms. Blum is the recipient of the 2010 Wells College Alumnae Award for her contributions to the field of law, especially for her work in the area of Section 1983 civil rights, and she is looking forward to her return to campus to deliver your Commencement Address this spring.
An outstanding scholar and teacher, for the past 20 years Karen Blum has been a nationally recognized authority on Section 1983 Civil Rights Litigation and Qualified Immunity for the Federal Judicial Center. Since 1974, she has also served on the faculty of Suffolk University Law School in Boston, Massachusetts, where she is currently an Associate Dean and Professor of Law, and teaches Civil Procedure, Federal Courts, Civil Rights and Police Misconduct Litigation.
Highly regarded for her unbiased view of civil rights law, Ms. Blum lectures to lawyers who defend civil rights cases as well as to plaintiffs' lawyers. She presents programs for the National Sheriffs' Association and for the Public Agency Training Council, bringing law enforcement agencies up to date on risks and problems of liability. She has been actively involved with the National Police Accountability Project (founded to help end police abuse of authority and provide education and training on police misconduct issues) and has served on its Advisory Board since its inception in 1999.
Much of Karen's work today is to provide orientation and continuing education for federal judges for which, in 2000, she received the Judge John R. Brown Award for Judicial Scholarship and Education. She regularly leads and presents at Continuing Legal Education seminars and institutes around the country and was named the first Director of the Masterman Institute on the First Amendment and the Fourth Estate at Suffolk University Law School in 2008.
Ms. Blum is the author of numerous books and articles relating to Section 1983 issues. She is affiliated with many professional organizations, including the American Bar Association, Massachusetts Bar Association, Boston Bar Association, American Association for Justice, Association of American Law Schools, American Constitution Society, Legal Committee, ACLU MASS, National Police Accountability Project, National Lawyers' Guild and Women's Bar Association. She was recently re-appointed to the Massachusetts Advisory Committee to the U.S. Commission on Civil Rights. She has twice been awarded the Yvette C. Mendez Quality of Life Award by the Black Law Students Association at Suffolk. Ms. Blum has also been recognized by her peers and received the Charles P. Kindregan Award for Extraordinary Contributions to Advanced Legal Studies at Suffolk Law School in 2004. Most recently, Ms. Blum was recognized this past spring by the National Lawyers Guild for her work in civil rights law and police misconduct litigation.
Karen Blum came to Wells from New Haven, Conn. After majoring in philosophy at Wells College, she taught children with learning disabilities for five years. She and her husband, Jeffrey Blum, attended Suffolk University Law School, and she was the first evening student at Suffolk to be named an editor of the Law Review. When she received her J.D. from Suffolk in 1974, Ms. Blum was given the Outstanding Student Award for her class. She received an LL.M. from Harvard University Law School in 1976.
With her commitment to lifelong learning and social justice, Ms. Blum exemplifies the thoughtful criteria provided by your senior class officers. Thank you to the Class of 2012 officers for their collaborative work to bring such a highly regarded alumna and speaker to share in this important College occasion.
Warm regards,
President Ryerson

I am writing in response to David Whiting's letter, "It's time to take back the South," published in the Jan. 8 edition of The Lancaster News. There isn't anything wrong with driving children to school. This is part of our freedom. We have a choice.
Your opinions are yours. The South has never been taken away from Southerners. It's here where it always was – it never moved.
I enjoyed J.R. Wilt's comments in his guest column, "What we should be doing," regarding upscale retailers and housing in the Jan. 24 edition of The Lancaster News.
Having worked for 50 years in retail management, I can tell you he is right on regarding his retail comments.
I can also tell you that one of the best places we have lived in the past put in a 2-acre minimum to stop the uncontrolled growth.
The problem is essentially that Lancaster County can approve new housing faster than the school system can raise money to build new schools.
The morning of Jan. 13, Lancaster County School District and county officials met to discuss how uncontrolled development, particularly in Indian Land, is harming the Lancaster County school system.
Reece Murphy wrote an excellent story in the Jan. 22 Carolina Gateway on the official version of what took place at that meeting. Essentially, the parties agreed to meet periodically and talk about the situation.
Michael Jedson's response, "It's time to separate fact from fiction about ACA," to my and W.B. Evan's articles sought to separate fact from fiction.
Jedson began with Mr. Evan's article and suggest that it is Mr.Evan's fault for not being able to afford the huge co-pay for drug coverage. But the fact is, the ACA is supposed to be the "affordable" care act.
With the recent announcement of Keer America choosing to locate its new facility in Lancaster County, questions have been raised about the incentives that can be offered to companies (both domestic and foreign) to locate in South Carolina.
At the first Lancaster County Council meeting of 2014, county officials continued their own local version of the big government decision process. A fee increase on businesses was proposed without any studies or projections. The proposal will affect business owners in the Indian Land and Pleasant Valley fire protection districts.
I read with interest William McGarry's column, "Investment Commission needs reform," about the S.C. Retirement System Commission in the Jan. 15 edition of The Lancaster News.
Unlike Mr. McGarry, I am a retired public employee and for the last eight years have carefully followed every major piece of legislation that has passed the General Assembly concerning the S.C. retirement system.
Hold on there, I ain't praising a troop of Yankee soldiers, but I gotta confess there is a bunch of seasoned troops who stand out in front of North Elementary School assisting young students entering and leaving vehicles.
At the school's entrance, they have an assembly line set up to get children out of or into their various forms of transportation.
Seems like during fair and warm weather we, designated drivers of school-aged children, sorta take those teachers for granted.

Works wonders for thin curly hair Very gentle shampoo and has been very useful for my hair after swimming. This wash smells wonderful, your hair feels squeeky clean. This was for me and is great! This shampoo is the best salon shampoo i have ever used! it leaves hair clean and soft, shiny and with volume. it also does not irritate my sensitive scalp. I highly recommend this shampoo for colour treated hair and also for natural hair that is fine and dry or hair that is in need of tlc after the winter.it leaves dry devitalised hair soft and full of body. This shampoo is absolutely perfect for my hair. In the past I have had to change my shampoo and conditioner as my hair becomes used to it. This doesn't seem to happen with my Angel Wash. This is possibly the best shampoo I have ever used. Its kind to my scalp and makes my hair look and smell amazing! This is a brilliant Shampoo, dont need a lot and my hair stays clean for longer, I have fine hair and this Shampoo makes my hair look so thick its amazing. I use it with the Angel Rinse. The best shampoo I've ever have. Leaves beautiful weightless hair. Smells beautiful, and keeps my colour looking great. There are 81 more customer reviews.

I do think that the light pink shorts are terribly out of place against the hot pink, and thus I use them with the island luau swimsuit instead.I love the contrast of vibrant lime green and hot pink, and the rashguard is very accurate. I have had zero problems with the Velcro. The water shoes are very easy to get on, though again I wish they had the hot versus the light pink.

A clean, well-lighted car
All you Hemingway wannabes out there no longer have to freeze in the winter in your old drafty Defender. New, improved versions, resembling Papa's old British jeep, are finally on the way.
Rumors of a Land Rover Defender returning to the North American market are true. The car will be back in 2007 as a 2008 model. Soft-top, long-wheelbase and short-wheelbase versions are also "in the works," according to Atlantic British, which would probably know as the leading U.S. supplier of after-market parts for Land Rovers in the United States.

Santa Delivers
Updated: Monday, December 31 2012, 02:30 PM EST
A little girl's letter to Santa pays off for a local school. Katie Bingham wrote and asked for school supplies for her fifth grade class.
Her letter was a secret, not even her parents knew about what it said. Just Katie, Santa and the elves at the Mills River Post Office knew what she asked for.
Katie was disappointed that she never heard back from Santa, but one of his elves showed up at her school in Henderson County with a box full of supplies.
Katie reminds folks that every teacher may need a little gift from Santa.

You cannot judge a religion by the people who practice it. If that was the case the world would be like a paradise itself because there wouldn't be any evil, people would follow law and order, politicians will do the duties entrusted to them in the best possible manner and simply everyone will love one another. Every religion on earth preaches good and forbids evil. So follow your religion and respect others as well. What we see in today's world is that neither do you practice nor let others practice their religion.
Alcohol in the Muslim world
NOBODY knows exactly when Islamic scholars decided that booze was sinful. In the 1970s political Islam led some countries such as Iran and Pakistan to ban alcohol, although many do not and exceptions are made for non-Muslims. In some countries the punishment for Muslims caught quaffing are severe: 80 lashes in the case of Iran. Things may get more arid yet as Islamist parties from Indonesia to Tunisia moot restrictions on alcohol. The number of drinkers varies by country, but some put the total at 5% of those identifying themselves as Muslim. Drinking may even be on the rise. Between 2001 and 2011 sales of alcohol in the Middle East, where Muslims dominate, grew by 72%, against a global average of 30%. That rise is unlikely to be accounted for by non-Muslims and foreigners alone. The black market for spirits flourishes in Libya, while Iranians are adept at producing home brew. Could Islam become more tolerant of drinking? A handful of scholars permit alcohol as long as it is not made from grapes and dates, because these are specifically mentioned in the Koran.
