Sandra Hood, Dietician
Published in The Vegan, Summer 2006
Soya continues to exercise the minds of many in the media, who extol its virtues or bewail its impact on both the environment and health. As soya is a food many vegans eat regularly, it's hardly surprising that it raises a lot of questions.
Most of the attention is focused on soya bean isoflavones, a class of phytoestrogens - hormone-like chemicals that occur in small amounts in many plants, seeds and grains. As more is learned about the biological activity of these isoflavones, concerns are raised as to whether they are harmful or helpful.
These phytoestrogens can act in a similar way to the human hormone oestradiol but have a weak oestrogenic effect. Accordingly, the most notable concerns are around infants consuming soya and women with oestrogen positive breast tumours. Evaluating the health benefits of phytoestrogens is complex as these compounds have been shown to have many different effects. The problem comes when trying to determine whether it is safe to eat and if so, how much.
Unfortunately, there is lack of data on the effect of intake of soya in the UK and although internationally populations consuming high intakes of soya have a lower prevalence of certain diseases, there is insufficient data to attribute this protective role to soya. However, neither is there enough evidence to suggest that soya is harmful to health. In 2002 the British Nutrition Foundation produced a comprehensive briefing paper entitled 'Soya and Health' which looked at the various health scares and claims surrounding this food. It concluded that 'soya beans are a useful source of a range of nutrients and the beans themselves and foods derived from them can be useful components of a healthy diet.'
The soya bean belongs to the legume family, which includes all types of beans, peas and lentils, the edible seeds that come from pod-bearing leguminous plants, also known as pulses. A staple food in Asian countries for centuries, soya is a nutritious alternative to meat in that it provides a high quality source of protein. Naturally low in fat, it is also rich in fibre and provides essential fatty acids, mostly omega-6 and some omega-3, as well as a variety of vitamins and minerals including iron, potassium and folic acid. A portion of soya counts towards the recommended five portions of fruits and vegetables per day.
It is now well established that soya as part of a healthy eating diet has a cholesterol lowering effect and that people with raised cholesterol can benefit from 25g of soya protein per day as part of a diet low in saturated fat (British Nutrition Foundation 2002). As a guide, 200ml of soya milk provides around 6g of protein, 200ml soya yoghurt around 10g and 100g of tofu around 8g.
The cholesterol lowering effect of soya is not caused by the presence of phytoestrogens alone but is likely to be the result of a combination of the components in soya which affect cholesterol metabolism (Jenkins et al 2006) and the overall composition of diets with a high soya content (Rosell et al 2004).
Concerns have been expressed regarding the suitability of soya infant formula or soya milk for children because it contains isoflavones.
In 2003, the controversy surrounding phytoestrogens led the UK Committee on Toxicity of Chemicals in Food (COT) to produce a 440 page report considering the exposure to phytoestrogens generally in the diet, including those in soya. When it researched soya-based infant formulae it concluded: 'studies do not provide definitive evidence that phytoestrogens present in soya-based infant formulae can adversely affect the health of infants.' Allergies aside, there has not been a single study demonstrating adverse effects of soya in infants. In addition, soya-based infant formulae have been used in the UK since the 1960s and during this time there have been no reports of abnormal growth or reproductive problems.
Soya foods, particularly fortified versions, make a useful contribution to vegan diets, providing convenient alternatives to animal foods.
In the UK the average vegetarian eats around 5 grams of soya protein per day and the average vegan around 15 grams. Daily intakes of soya in Asian countries are about 10 grams. With 25 grams necessary to lower cholesterol, any intake between 10 and 25 grams can be considered safe and healthy (Scott 2004).
Soya contains several components that traditionally have been considered to be anti-nutritional e.g. phytates and trypsin inhibitors. Phytates are said to act as anti-nutrients because they have the ability to bind to minerals and possibly reduce the assimilation of calcium, copper, iron, magnesium and zinc. Trypsin is an enzyme needed to break down proteins to make them available; therefore inhibitors prevent this happening.
However, research suggests that this may be an oversimplification. For example, boiling beans removes most of the trypsin inhibitors and these are also inactivated by sprouting and fermentation. There is suggestion that the human digestive system is stimulated to reject anti-nutrients and the body can adequately deal with these 'non-nutritive' components without any detriment to nutritional states. There are many factors affecting the absorption of nutrients but few will alter the body's normal mineral status if a person is physically well and following a balanced diet.
The thyroid gland is responsible for the production of hormones necessary for growth and development and for regulating metabolism. It has been hypothesised that phytoestrogens interact with the thyroid gland by a number of potential mechanisms, raising concerns that the phytoestrogens in soya may affect thyroid function. This has only been suggested in adults where iodine intake was inadequate. These concerns remain theoretical and there is no evidence that soya foods adversely affect thyroid function in healthy, iodine-replete children and adults. Dairy products provide about half the iodine consumption in the UK. Vegan sources include seaweeds and foods made from them such as kelp, Vecon, a vegetable stock, and iodised salt.
Numerous studies continue to suggest that soya isoflavones help with improved mental processes and a reduction in hot flushes. However, the results are inconclusive. The isoflavones found in soya bind to oestrogen receptors and prevent the binding of the body's own oestrogen to the receptor and may help replace oestrogen in postmenopausal women. In the American Family Physician Journal this year an article appeared suggesting patients who do not wish to take hormonal medicines should try other options including soya, red clover and black cohosh (Carroll 2006).
Many tumours, especially breast cancers, are stimulated by human oestrogen. Therefore the fact that isoflavones act in a similar way to mammalian hormones supports a potential role in breast cancer prevention. It is believed that these phytoestrogens may counteract some of the hormone's cancer-causing potential. On the other hand, there are also concerns that these phytoestrogens may have a negative effect in relation to breast cancer risk. Again this is hypothetical and there is a lack of studies to conclusively support either of these theories. Women should be reassured that, whatever their health status, there seems no reason to avoid a moderate intake of soya (COT 2003).
The influence of diet on bone health is complex. There are intriguing suggestions that phytoestrogens may have the potential to protect bones (Arjmandi et al 2002) but studies remain controversial and no conclusions can be drawn. Whilst too much protein can be detrimental to bone health, too little can also be damaging. The most important dietary aspect in bone status is a healthy balanced diet with adequate calcium (found in nuts, seeds, pulses, figs, grains and fortified non-dairy milks), vitamin D (from the action of sunlight on skin and found in margarines and fortified non-dairy milks) and vitamin K and potassium (for which green leaf vegetables are an excellent source).
Soya is a good source of protein and can reduce cholesterol levels. Other claimed effects, both positive and negative, remain controversial and unproven. We all know that diet and lifestyle impact on our health and that it is unlikely that any one food is the panacea of all health and disease. A balanced vegan diet, with or without soya, will always be preferable to one based on animal foods for a multitude of reasons – nutritional, ethical and ecological.

Today on Your Call: How do we challenge systemic water contamination?
On today's Your Call, we'll talk about the documentary film Semper Fi: Always Faithful. It follows former US Marine Jerry Ensminger, whose daughter died of leukemia from water contamination at North Carolina's Camp LeJeune. Ensminger says "When I first learned of the contamination issue, I had all the faith and confidence that the Marine Corps that I had served for nearly a quarter century would step up and do what was right by their people. But as time passed ..the realization came over me that not only were these organizations not going to do what was right by their people, they were engaged in doing the opposite." So what would you do in his shoes? Join us at 10 or email email@example.com. Have you or someone you known been exposed to a cancer cluster? It's Your Call with Rose Aguilar and You.

By Jamie Dupree
The new White House plan to deal with the federal deficit is much more than just the highlights you have heard about, as supporting documents released by the Obama Administration show dozens of small provisions that are sure to anger certain groups.
The provisions range from ones that would impact most Americans, like the recommendation to allow the U.S. Postal Service to drop one day of mail delivery to a $100 per flight fee on general aviation flights that use "controlled airspace," as a way of funding the Air Traffic Control system.
Among the many plans included in the Obama deficit proposal, higher taxes on diesel fuel used by boaters on the inland waterway system of America, a $200 million assessment on the nuclear power industry to help pay for nuclear cleanup work and $740 million in new fees on companies registering new pesticides with the feds.
Making a return in this plan is another idea that has been met with opposition in the Congress, the idea of a fee on big banks to help offset the cost of the Wall Street Bailout, as a $50 billion "Financial Crisis Responsibility Fee" in in the President's plan.
The idea has never gone far in the Congress - even when Democrats were in charge of both the House and Senate, and seems unlikely to generate much bipartisan support this time.
One idea that would hit home with many Americans is a plan to raise the fee paid by airline passengers for airport security. It could go from a maximum of $5 per one-way flight to $7.50 per one-way flight by 2017.
That would bring in $8.8 billion in revenue; the Air Traffic Control system fee described above would generate $11 billion over ten years.
The plan would also allow changes in the military TRICARE health system, by starting a new lifetime registration fee and raising co-pays for prescription drugs.
The Obama plan would also set up a commission to review military benefits and retiree programs to see where further savings could be realized for the future.
The details were included in an 80 page document submitted by the White House to the Joint House-Senate panel that's dealing with the budget deficit.
You can read your way through all of that fine print - and maybe you'll find some more of interest for fellow readers - at http://is.gd/JJhWu5

My new S1's this year have really impressed me. They retain the confidence-inspiring stability that I've come to expect from the Rossignol X-ium line, but come with a revamped flex profile that will excel in a wide range of conditions, particularly in soft snow. My pair is blazing fast not only in soft conditions, but in harder conditions as well. After a week of on-snow testing, this ski was winning tests over all the other brands I tried. I'm optimistic that this ski will become my go-to race ski this winter.

Sure, all those fancy new toys you buy for the holidays will entertain your baby, at least until the battery runs out. So when it's time for the next new thing, save yourself a few bucks and look no further than your kitchen cabinets!
A plastic bowl
Your baby will love when you... Hide a favorite toy underneath, making it appear and disappear.
She'll learn... Object permanence -- the idea that objects still exist even when she can't see them. Fair warning: Your baby can play this game for hours; you may feel ready to go insane but she'll roar with each big reveal.
A sponge and wide-mouthed plastic jar
Your baby will love when you... Tear a new sponge into large pieces and show her how to put them in the jar and dump them out.
She'll learn... Fine motor skills, sensory awareness ("Oooh, sponges are squishy!") and the concept of in and out.
Empty tissue boxes
Your baby will love when you... Stack the boxes and knock them down. (Don't worry if you're still doing all the knocking over!)
She'll learn... The concept of up and down.
Your baby will love when you... Turn off the lights, and shine a flashlight on a wall (not directly in your baby's eyes, of course).
She'll learn... Eye strength. Following the light will strengthen her eye tracking skills and muscle coordination.

Honda Racing / IZOD IndyCar Series / RacingLine
"Month Of May" Engine Deals Help IRL Fill Indianapolis 500 Grid
The Indy Racing League frowned on engine leases when it started in 1996 but, a decade later, it was thanks to Honda's bargain-basement lease prices that the traditional 33 cars made it to the starting grid for the 90th Indianapolis 500.
Because of today's tough economics, owners and sponsors have become scarce in open-wheel racing and, for the first time in its existence, the size of the average IndyCar field is under 20 cars in 2006.
It had been a struggle to fill the field at Indy the past two years and required some last-minute deals just to get to 33 cars. Yet, because of Honda's helping hand, a full field was guaranteed midway through the month.
In May of 2005, it cost $500,000 to lease the formidable Honda for three weeks. This year, the price was reduced to $250,000. Better still, a team waiting until the second week of practice/qualifying only had to spend $115,000 to have the same motor as the Ganassi, Penske or Andretti Green teams.
"Honda made it so reasonable you couldn't afford not to run a second car," said 1998 Indy winner Eddie Cheever, who ran veteran Max Papis as his teammate. "It was a great gesture by Honda and they deserve a large pat on the back.
"They helped preserve one of Indy's great traditions." In the case
of teams like PDM, Luyendyk Racing or Curb
Motorsports, it was a godsend. "Plain and simple, we would not have been
able to run this year without Honda's deal," said Arie Luyendyk Jr., whose
two-time Indy-winning father put a team together for the IPS graduate.
"I mean, my dad couldn't have afforded a half-million dollar lease, but $100,000 was manageable.
" Paul Diatlovich, an original IRL team owner whose participation had been limited the past few years because of the escalating costs to field a car, echoed Luyendyk.
"No generous deal from Honda, no PDM," said Diatlovich, whose rookie driver Thiago Medeiros wrote off the team"s primary car in a practice accident but came back to make his first Indy start.
"I wasn't a big fan of engine leases when the IRL started but, obviously, times have changed and I know a lot of us little teams couldn't have competed this May without Honda's help."
Jeff Bucknum, whose father drove Honda's initial Formula One car, returned for his second Indy 500 as part of Ron Hemelgarn's team, thanks to the affordability of the Honda.
"I couldn't have put a deal together to run Indy without Honda's great lease price," he said. "There aren't many racing series where you can go out and get the same engine as the biggest teams.
"It was a sweetheart deal."
Honda Performance Development President Robert Clarke says HPD understands today's economics and is working with the IRL to make things more appealing for 2007.
"Our engine lease went from $1.8 million in 2005 to $1.3 this season and it's going to be down to $990,000 next year," said Clarke. "As for our Indy prices, we got very favorable responses and we'll continue it next year.
"It allowed teams that otherwise didn't have the budget a chance to compete and we were happy to help."

Being a responsible steward of our environment, as well as, maximizing our energy consumption efficiency can and go hand-in-hand with the Hostel's sustainability efforts." says Paul Coley, General Manager at the Hostelling International Chicago Hostel.

A Scioto County man was sentenced in Franklin County for returning to work as a truck driver while getting workers' compensation benefits for a prior workplace injury. Christopher Galloway was sentenced last week and must repay the nearly $2,000 he improperly collected from the Ohio Bureau of Workers' Compensation.
"Mr. Galloway's work as an independent truck driver was clearly a violation of the law," said BWC Administrator/CEO Steve Buehrer.
"In addition to putting an end to fraud, it is essential that BWC ensure every employer dollar is used for its intended purpose: injured workers who are truly unable to work."
Temporary total disability benefits are typically the first form of compensation awarded during injured workers' recoveries from work-related injuries. Injured workers cannot work while receiving temporary total disability payments.
The Portsmouth Special Investigations Unit received an allegation that Galloway returned to work as a truck driver. Investigators found that Galloway was working as an independent semi truck driver. He admitted to the work activity and cooperated with the investigation.
Galloway pleaded guilty Feb. 22 and was sentenced the same day in the Franklin County Municipal Court. Judge Tyack ordered Galloway to pay restitution in the amount of $1,812.18, in addition to $290 in fees and court costs. He also received a sentence of six months in jail, which was suspended for two years of community control

"This is unlike any other book on Iraq…Wendell Steavenson, a half-British, half-American journalist, has spent the past few years trying to understand what life was like for the Baathists who collaborated with Saddam Hussein's tyrannical regime. The outcome of her search is absolutely fascinating—part treatise on evil, part journey through war-torn Iraq looking for "flickers of conscience," but mostly the story of the disintegration of one man…A rare and compelling narrative. Far more chilling than all the blood-and-guts accounts so far published, Steavenson's book should be a must-read on Iraq." —Christina Lamb, the Times (London)
"Steavenson is one of the most exciting non-fiction writers of her generation…Like Arendt and Sereny, she builds her survey around a single figure: General Kamel Sachet, an Iraqi general who first supported and then rebelled against the government…Despite setting Sachet at the center of her story, Steavenson is uncompromising in her depiction of him…Yet, for all that, Sachet remains warmly drawn and sympathetic—a man, not a monster. This is Steavenson's triumph." —Peter Beaumont, The Observer (London)
"The Weight of a Mustard Seed is a vivid story, based on a host of exhaustive interviews. It examines how those people navigated their way through life and the corrosive effect it had on them and their families. The book also carries a sobering message for the future of Iraq: That if Iraqi society was already hideously dysfunctional and fractured under Saddam, it must be the more so now, almost six years after the botched US-led invasion…[The Sachets'] story is sadly emblematic of the tragedy of Iraq." —Hugh Carnegy, Financial Times
"So far, the most successful book about [the Iraq war] has been Generation Kill…Another book that may break out of the pack is The Weight of a Mustard Seed, by Wendell Steavenson…A little like Hitler's Willing Executioners…The Weight of a Mustard Seed is a powerful account of the moral disintegration of the Iraqi people that deserves to be widely read." —Toby Young, The Independent
"This is no conventional biography. Instead, Steavenson uses Sachet to examine the moral question of how it was that Iraq's professional middle class became sucked into the murderous state machine…Steavenson is a tenderhearted observer, but also a shrewd one." —Christopher Silvester, the Telegraph

The West Country region
We are in the centre of the village of Rock, on the North Cornish Coast, less than five minutes walk to the village shops, including the butchers, bakers, deli, fresh fish shop and mini market. Stocking up on local produce couldn't be easier.
Walk the opposite way, down the gently sloping hill, and you come to the waterfront. There you will find a handful of shops, pubs and restaurants with balconies. While relaxing with your meal and a drink, you will have super views across the estuary to Padstow. Take the passenger ferry across to explore this Cornish fishing village set around it's harbour with many shops and restaurants. Come back later in the evening by water taxi.
Rock beach is a mile of sandy beach and dunes stretching out the sheltered estuary, ideal for young children. Carry on along the coastal path and you come to Daymer Bay, another family beach. Round the corner is Polzeath, with it's surfing scene and lifeguarded beach. This is the start of miles of spectacular coastal cliff walking which will take you into Port Isaac past Doc Martin's surgery. Challenging golf is on our doorstep at the St. Enodoc Golf Club. Waterskiing, sailing, fishing and other water-sports are organised from the activity centre at the waters edge. Padstow is the start of the Camel Trail for cycling and walking along fifteen miles of old railway track bed alongside the Estuary and on by the river to Bodmin Moor.
Rock Beach and Daymer Bay are dog friendly.
Of course, there is so much more locally and throughout the rest of Cornwall easily accessible from Rock.

AWOL. Falcon captures the hard-and-fast action only an ââ¬ÅAWOLââ¬Â sailor gets into when he wants to satisfy his two newly met friends.Just another lazy afternoon with the guys holed up in a hotel room with nothing to do but suck cock. Itââ¬â¢s a daisy chain of mindless fellatio as they bounce around before one nimble fellow contorts himself to suck his own cock to the amazement of his buddies. A second guy tries to do likewise, but just canââ¬â¢t manage; it doesnââ¬â¢t matter because there are other dicks to concentrate on. Thereââ¬â¢s some shrimping for all you feet fetishists, a hefty jar of goopy lube, some tight ass-packinââ¬â¢, and three blasts of gooey jism to finish.

We took down some trees behind the house and would like to put in a large patio space for entertaining big groups but don't really know where to start. The yard is on the north side and has a lot of shade from some very large trees. I have attempted to attach a photo of the space. The plan right now is to keep the shed/greenhouse since we need the storage space but don't have the budget to replace it at this time. Otherwise it's pretty much a blank canvas. I would appreciate any ideas but I'm a stay-at-home mom so budget is a major consideration...thanks in advance for your help!!

Backyard IMG_2719.jpg | 55.87 KB |
Thanks Dawn........we got those chairs last year and I like them because they're light and have the look of cast iron without the weight.
That's a really great-looking outdoor space, luvto. I recently got the same chairs for my small deck off my kitchen, and I just love the look of them.
I agree with what Dawn said.........nowadays they have nice concrete slabs that look like interlocking bricks..........it is very easy to do and affordable.....our backyard is northeast and we have old slabs right now but later on we plan to do something else once we finish renovating inside........just take a look at this picture.......we find our patio very comfortable........instead of having it go along the width of the house, you can extend it out more towards the garden.
Basically the location and how it works for the kind of gatherings you will have most is probably the most important thing.
If possible, plan the space so it is most conveniently situated for occasions when entertaining is kind of spilliing out of the house and into the garden. I have a north-facing yard too, and the spot I am considering is outside the glass sliding doors of our ground-level family room. That way, if some people are in and some are out, it's not like they are at opposite ends of the earth. Failing that, another way of looking at it is to maybe put the entertainment area close to the kitchen. Not everyone gathers their groups in the family room as we do, but you get the idea. Currently my storage situation is pretty tight, so I'm planning on getting one of those inexpensive folding tables for outdoor eating. It'll look just fine under a tablecloth!
If the only access to the back is through a laundry/mud room currently, then just start making some long-term plans as in where you may be able to add a door elsewhere. As long as you have something in mind for a later phase when it is more affordable, you can better plan perhaps a temporary solution for now-maybe a widened sidewalk that extends far enough that it can accommodate a large table. Then, when the more expensive plans take place later, you can adapt this first space, just changing the function of it without having to remove it. Maybe it could serve as a base for a round, raised planter that has sides wide enough so people could sit on it. Maybe this concrete area will be underneath a future deck off an upstairs room, and serve as a sheltered spot with a specific purpose in phase two.
Good luck with your plans. Take your time, and I'm sure you'll be able to create a plan that works perfectly for you.
You could install a deck at the level of your back door so you just step out. The size would be determined by the budget. I doubt the city by laws would require even a railing as it would be very low to the ground, Just install it slanted away from the house for rain run off. I widh I had that green house :)

By Troutman (Point Pleasant, NJ) on Jul 2, 2013
Comments: My husband has owned a Nordic Track Pro for eighteen + years. He uses it every day and this purchase is our third Pro Skier. The pulley mechanism when delivered was not put together properly and when my husband called the number for service he did not get much satisfaction. The person he spoke to didn't seem to understand the pulley system. My husband is a mechanic and, of course, very familiar with the operation and was able to take it apart and fix it. For the money spent I feel it should have arrived in the right condition for immediate use. That is our only complaint with the skier.
A classic in the home fitness world, the Classic Pro Skier is still a fan favorite for its effectiveness. Smooth, natural motion of Nordic skiing offers exercise without injury or discomfort, while adjustable resistance and elevation let you easily adjust the intensity of your workout. Independent resistance controls for the arms and legs give you training variety. The LED feedback window tracks time, distance calories burned and pulse.

In 1995, Metropolitan State College of Denver Mike Dunlap, far right, watches Jarod Obering of Northern State handle the basketball against his team. NSU Photo (Aberdeen News / June 20, 2012) |
There was a 30 percent chance that the next NBA coach of Charlotte picked by Bobcats owner Michael Jordan would know all about Northern State University.
Mike Dunlap was the choice. Dunlap's last game in his last college job as an official head coach was a loss to Northern State on March 11, 2006.
I covered that game.
Dunlap's then-Metropolitan State College of Denver lost 72-67 to coach Don Meyer's Wolves in the first round of the Division II national tourney in Winona. Dunlap coached Metro from 1997-2006, winning DII national titles in 2000 and 2002 and coaching the Roadrunners to a 248-50 record. In 2005, Metro defeated NSU 83-60 in the national tourney.
After leaving Metro, Dunlap spent two seasons as an assistant coach for the Denver Nuggets, and then was associate head coach at Oregon and Arizona for a season each before a two-year stint at St. John's. Last season, he was acting head coach while Steve Lavin recovered from prostate cancer surgery.
Two of the other 10 candidates for the Bobcats job who were interviewed by Jordan were NBA assistants David Joerger of Memphis and Nate Tibbetts of Cleveland. Both men are former head coaches of the Sioux Falls Skyforce.
Joerger played basketball at Minnesota State, Moorhead (in NSU's conference), and is married to Aberdeen native Kara (Fordham). Tibbetts, son of legendary coach Fred Tibbetts, was a standout at Sioux Falls Roosevelt and the University of South Dakota.
In the 72-67 Wolves win over Metro in 2006, Northern State won the rebounding battle 37-26, Dunlap told me: We didn't get it done on the boards. That has been our Achilles' all year long.
NSU seniors Matt Hammer, Adam Grant, Aaron Busack and Bjoern School scored 51 of the Wolves points. NSU made 20 of its 28 free throws
We were fortunate to win, Meyer said. We did some good things, but we did some mighty bad things too.
Pierpont cowgirl
Black Hills State junior Joey Painter of Buffalo won the breakaway roping national championship at the College National Finals Rodeo this weekend in Casper, Wyo.
South Dakota State junior Taryn Sippel of Pierpont and Langford High School finished 10th in that event. She qualified for Saturday night's finals and won the first round with an impressive 2.0 second run. Sippel won the reserve championship in breakaway roping for the Great Plains Region earlier this season.
The SDSU women were 15th of 38 schools and Black Hills State was 11th.
SDSU sophomore Ross Odde of Mound City and Mobridge-Pollock High School competed in saddle bronc at the college finals. However, his finals ended when he suffered a shoulder injury in the first round. Odde and his SDSU teammates finished 10th among 56 teams in the men's division.
Dupree cowboy
Jake Longbrake of Dupree started his Great Plains Indian Rodeo Association season off right last weekend at the Crazy Horse Stampede Rodeo. He won the all-around cowboy title with first-, second- and third-place finishes in various roping events.
No-sleep champ
Sturgis cowboy Tanner Bothwell proved he can operate a bull without sleep.
On Saturday, Bothwell competed at a rodeo in Stanley, Wis. The Rapid City Journal reported that he drove through the night back to the Black Hills to compete Sunday at the the 22nd annual Crazy Horse Stampede. He won the round and tied for first with a score of 82 on the Korkow Rodeos' Hightower. The Korkows of rural Pierre provide the stock for the annual Brown County Fair rodeo in Aberdeen.

WEDNESDAY, March 13 (HealthDay News) -- More than half of all teens and young adults in the United States know a victim of dating violence or sexual assault, according to a new national survey.
But 53 percent would find it difficult to intervene, and 40 percent wouldn't even know what to do if they witnessed such a crime, the poll found.
The survey "uncovers the grim reality of dating violence and sexual assault among 15 to 22 year olds, and the fact that so many are uncertain about the warning signs and do not know what to do to stop violence and assault," the organizers of a national effort to combat dating violence and sexual aggression said in a news release.
Called NO MORE, this undertaking "is designed to end the stigma and shame of domestic violence and sexual assault, drive new awareness and activate involvement," the organizers explained in the news release.
The March 13 launch of NO MORE coincides with the start Wednesday of a highly publicized rape trial in Steubenville, Ohio. Two high school football players are accused of raping a 16-year-old girl while other boys allegedly watched.
The survey of teens' and young adults' attitudes, funded by the Avon Foundation for Women, was conducted by GfK Public Affairs and Corporate Communications. Some highlights follow:
The organizers of NO MORE believe teaching young people about different forms of abuse and how to combat it can help prevent tragedies like the one in Ohio.
Many teens were unaware that dating abuse, for example, includes controlling behaviors, name-calling and stalking.
"Once abusive behaviors are more clearly defined and young men are educated to recognize abuse, it is likely they will intervene more often and more successfully," according to the study authors.
Major violence-prevention agencies and other organizations are uniting behind NO MORE. Like the pink breast cancer ribbon or the red AIDS ribbon, the NO MORE symbol is intended to boost awareness of the issue.

New iPad docking mode on the horizon?

Though the touch-screen tablet can be used in both portrait (vertical) or landscape (horizontal) mode, it can only be placed in its charging dock in portrait mode. There's just one 30-pin connector on the bottom of the short side of the rectangular iPad.
But according to documents Apple filed with the Trade Marks and Designs Registration Office of the European Union earlier this year and made public last week, a horizontal docking option may be on its way. The blog Patently Apple found the documents submitted by … Read more
