Pros: high quality ingredients, recommended by Mothering members
Fermented Cod Liver Oil and Butter Oil are some of the most commonly recommended items in the Mothering community for preventing and treating tooth decay--and for maintaining general health for children and adults.
By far, one of the most talked about companies for fulfilling both of these dietary supplements is Green Pasture -- especially their Royal Ice Butter Oil and Fermented Cod Liver Oil Blend.
The product is offered as a gel for kids (in several flavors including chocolate cream and cinnamon tingle) or as capsules for adults and older kids.
After using the product myself, and talking with the company personally, I can see why Green Pasture has made such an impact on our community. They are open and honest about what is in their products, use only the highest quality ingredients and are available to answer questions from parents who may just be beginning to explore the benefits of using butter oil and fermented cod liver.
For these reasons, I highly recommend considering Green Pasture products and have happily recommended them in our new Healing Teeth Naturally Guide.
To find out more about these products visit the Green Pastures website, where they have an impressive wealth of information about their products--including a blog and extensive FAQs section.
Information in this post is based on my experience with a product provided to me for free for the purpose of review.

Here are some of the details as laid out by Democrats on the changes being proposed to health care legislation before the U.S. Senate. This should give Democrats 60 votes to break a filibuster against the bill.
These details come from the office of Senate Democratic Leader Harry Reid. Note that the word "abortion" does not get mentioned, even though that was a big part of the talks with Sen. Ben Nelson (D-NE).
Manager's Amendment to the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act
Providing More Competition & Affordable Choices for Americans
The Manager's Amendment to the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act builds upon the strong bill we already have. It demands greater accountability from health insurance companies while creating more choice and competition for consumers. It implements new programs to further rein in health costs and makes health insurance policies more affordable; and it improves access to quality, affordable health care for children and vulnerable populations.
Tougher Accountability Policies for Health Insurance Companies
ü Stronger medical loss ratios. Health insurers will be required to spend more of their premium revenues on clinical services and quality activities, with less going to administrative costs and profits - or else pay rebates to policyholders. These stricter limits will continue even after the Exchanges begin in 2011, and apply to all plans, including grandfathered plans.
ü Accountability for excessive rate increases. A health insurer's participation in the Exchanges will depend on its performance. Insurers that jack up their premiums before the Exchanges begin will be excluded - a powerful incentive to keep premiums affordable.
ü Immediate ban on pre-existing condition exclusions for children. Health insurers will be immediately prohibited from excluding coverage of pre-existing conditions for children.
ü Patient protections. Health insurers will have to abide by a set of patient protections that, for example, protect choice of doctors and ensure access to emergency care.
ü Ensuring access to needed care. The use of annual limits on benefits will be tightly restricted to ensure access to needed care immediately, and will be prohibited completely beginning in 2014.
ü Guaranteed opportunity to appeal coverage denials. All health insurers will be required to implement an internal appeals process for coverage denials, and states will ensure the availability of an external appeals process that is independent and holds insurance companies accountable.
Stronger Policies to Make Health Care Affordable
ü Innovation. Medicare will be able to test new models and, if successful, implement them via a stronger Innovation Center, Independent Payment Advisory Board, and other authorities.
ü Transparency. New requirements will ensure that insurers and health care providers report on their performance, empowering patients to make the best possible decisions.
ü Small businesses. A package of improvements include starting the health insurance tax credit in 2010, expanding eligibility for the credit, and improving the purchasing power of small businesses.
More Health Insurance Choices
ü Multi-state option. Health insurance carriers will offer plans under the supervision of the Office of Personnel Management, the same entity that oversees health plans for Members of Congress. At least one plan must be non-profit, and the plans will be available nationwide. This will promote competition and choice.
ü Free choice vouchers. Workers who qualify for an affordability exemption to the individual responsibility policy but do not qualify for tax credits can take their employer contribution and join an exchange plan.
Improved Access to Quality Health Care for Seniors, Children, and Vulnerable Populations
ü Quality of care in Medicare. Seniors will benefit when additional health care providers are reimbursed by Medicare for the quality of care they deliver, not the quantity of services they provide.
ü Children's health. Support will be extended for the Children's Health Insurance Program and the adoption tax credit. Foster care children aging out of Medicaid will be able to retain its comprehensive coverage.
ü Community Health Centers. A substantial investment in Community Health Centers will provide funding to expand access to health care in communities where it is most needed
ü Rural and underserved communities. Access will be expanded through funding for rural health care providers and training programs for physician and other types of health care providers.
ü Vulnerable populations. A range of new programs will tackle diseases such as cancer, diabetes, and children's congenital heart disease, will improve the Indian Health System, and will provide support for pregnant teens and victims of domestic violence.
Identifying Alternatives to Litigation
ü Testing new models. States will be eligible for grants to test alternatives to civil tort litigation that emphasize patient safety, disclosure of health care errors, and early resolution of disputes, with a provision for patients to opt-out of these alternatives at any time. Alternatives will be evaluated to determine their effectiveness.

Loved my night out at Ruth Chris's
this past Monday night. My friend and I had a girls night out and treated ourselves to some surf n turf! The appetizers and main meal were perfectly cooked to our tastes and the drinks definitely hit the spot. Our server Kathy was a gem! Definitely made our night there a pleasure! I've been here a few times before and they know how to take care of you. The good is always excellent and the service is even better. The only negative for me was by the time we went for dinner they were all out of oysters! But regardless I had an amazing meal and a great time. Would definitely come back again and again!"

The place is a well hidden gem.
The food is amazing. You get what you pay for! I will definitely be returning! The Creme brûlée so savory."
Dined on 3/7/2014
I've been here before & know that
it's quite happening at night but it's very quiet for a weekday lunch which was kind of nice. Bread basket came out warm; our server quicklly got out our lunches: I enjoyed a petite filet with jumbo shrimp and my special someone was pleased with his 11 oz. rib-eye; we shared garlic mash cream spinach - both very good. We extended our lunch by thoroughly enjoying alternating glasses of Shiraz and Robert Mondavi Merlot. Hope to go back soon!"

We were celebrating our 25th
wedding anniversary with our family and had an outstanding dinner. Our steaks were all prepared as ordered, sides were good and the service was perfect too. Looking forward to our next visit."

Ruth's Chris Steakhouse, was well
prepared for this special day! It was very nice to see all of the Valentine decorations. The ambiance was classy, elegant and welcoming just as I remembered. More importantly the food was delish!"

Ruth's Chris in Garden City is our
favorite place to go for special occasions. The food is always superb, the service is always terrific and it's always a perfect dining experiance. If you want steak that melts in your mouth this is the place to go. Although the other selections on the menu are just as mouthwatering. Kathy our waitress for this visit is always friendly, sweet and bends over backwards to make you enjoy your meal. She is a gem. The ahi tuna appetizer is delicious and we dream about the sweet potato casserole. We go to Ruth's Chris often and look forward to it each and every time. Mariola one of the managers always very welcoming and just a doll. We love it there and will keep coming back!"

Great place to eat and have
dinner. Steak was very good and the key lime pie dessert is AWESOME!!!"
Dined on 1/24/2014
Ruth's Chris always seems to have
great food and a good experience. The Garden City location seems to suffer a bit. There are too many tables packed tightly, which makes it difficult to navigate, especially for the wait staff. While everyone is friendly and polite, there shouldn't be extended waits or multiple requests for drink refills, bread, etc. Additionally due to the packing of the tables, the noise level is very high...almost at an "Applebees" type level.... this is not the place you want to go for a romantic or quiet dinner. Overall, great food and acceptable service, but at prices that come out to $80-$100 per person, they need to fix the layout and have a more responsive table experience."
Dined on 1/20/2014
My wife and I dine out at Ruth's
Chris on anniversaries and birthdays. We truly enjoy our dining experience each time! The staff is very professional and courteous. Service is always top-notch and the food is superb!"

I was impressed with the service
from the entire staff, from the greeters at the door to our waiter and his helpers. The food was outstanding and I will be back again!"
Dined on 1/18/2014
Petit filets were disappointing.
Not buttery soft , just regular steak I could make at home Salad orders came with wrong dressing. Lobster was smaller than ordered. Gave me the impression that the kitchen was overwhelmed. Don't think going back for a while. Too expensive for a so-so dinner."
Dined on 1/18/2014
A bit pricey but the quality of
the food was good. Our waiter was helpful but not friendly or likable. He gave us a hard time about giving us separate checks (what restaurant doesn't do this these days?) but in the end he did it for us. When my filet mignon arrived, it was the small one and I ordered the large....my sister's filet mignon was well done and she ordered medium but it was replaced with no problem at all. Small complaints which were remedied, but I wouldn't expect it at all in a restaurant like this. Like I said, the quality of the food was great so no complaint there."
Dined on 1/14/2014
We can't find enough superlatives
to compliment the food and wine. The hostess, unfortunately, was another story. We didn't like where she was originally going to seat us - a middle table of a banquet seat, so she then took us to an equally undesirable table for two crammed between two other tables. We accepted it, but noticed the next party of two was taken to a table for four in the middle of the room. We wondered why we weren't offered this table?!"
Dined on 1/13/2014
The service was great, they were
very attentive. I would advise you not to use valet. I would expect a restaurant like this to have a better handle on valet service but it was a mess. Everything was delicious, I highly recommend the almond crusted sea bass and the lamb lollipops which I don't believe are regularly on the menu."
Dined on 1/11/2014
The dinner was wonderful and we
weren't rushed. Food was delicious and all was perfection!"

I haven't been to a Ruth Chris in
years because I went to one in another state and it wasn't great. I had the complete opposite experience at this location. I went as a party of 6 for my father's retirement dinner. The service was impeccable. Our waiter was very helpful with making recommendations as well as being very attentive. It was an amazing dining experience for all who attended."

I can't say enough good things
about Ruth Chris. The service was excellent, they were attentive, courteous, and efficient. The ambiance and noise level was perfect, considering the holiday season. The steak was superb, succulent and tender. The food options and prices were reasonable as well. I highly recommend coming to Ruth Chris for business meetings, group dinners, or couples. I went to Ruth Chris as a early Chirstmas gift to myself and it was worth it."
Dined on 12/23/2013
Great food, attentive service and
comfortable upscale atmosphere just make you feel great! We love Ruth's Chris in Garden City, NY!"
Dined on 12/21/2013
Food was good. Waiter in the first
section we were seated, near the bar ok. Waiter in the 2nd section very nice and patient. Food met Ruth Chris standards which are very good but atmosphere was SO noisy we couldn't hear each other speak, party of 4. We moved from the bar area where most of noise was towards the back of the restaurant better but sell not great. I've been going to steak houses all over the county, keens, peter lugers brooklyn and great neck, bryant cooper, sparks, blt prime, other RC's, wolf gangs, etc . None of them have a rowdy bar area with sports TVs as the main attraction. A shame, it takes the elegance and feel of a REAL steak house."
Dined on 12/5/2013
We can never go wrong at Ruth's
Chris. Always impeccable service and the best steaks on Long Island. From the ambience to the food and drinks we always come here when we want to treat ourselves on a weekend!"

We took the directors of our
parish Christmas Fair to Ruth Chris as a thank you for all of the hard work they did in running our parish fund-raiser. They were there for the first time and were delighted with the meal. The pastor and I are now hoping they will direct the Fair next year. Father John"
Dined on 12/8/2013
While Ruth's Chris consistently
serves an excellent meal properly prepared, this one doesn't have the class of other restaurants in this chain that I have visited in major cities. For one, I always Ruth's Chris as an adult restaurant but there were tables with young children. Not the restaurants fault--I guess the patrons haven't the sense to figure out that young children should be brought to appropriate food mills not decent steakhouses. I know it's the holidays but kids don't belong in Ruth's Chris. We will still dine at this chain but I will stick with Rothmann's when eating steak in Nassau County."
Dined on 12/7/2013
Among the best meals I have ever
had. Every bite was a pleasure."

I took my 2 daughters and one of
her friends for dinner on Saturday night. The food was great! And the service was outstanding!! Special thanks to the waiter John however TEN STARS for the assistant waiter Willie for the great service and going above and beyond. Please pass this along to the owner and manager. Special thanks to waiter Willie noticed that my daughter took the tomatoes off of my salad. He recognized that she loves tomatoes and brought a cup of tomatoes without anyone asking. Talk about the WOW effect! I wish I had a guy like that working for me! John 516 449-6000 (cell)"

This is one of my favorite

We were relaxed, service was excellent and we all enjoyed a delicious meal, not to mention, we could walk away without all the fuss of cooking at home. It was delightful."

Dined on 11/23/2013
Although we've been to this
restaurant before, on this day the experience was not great. The server brought out all our dinners but one, I believe he forgot to order it. When they finally brought out the dinner, the rest of us were almost done eating. We also had three birthdays at the table which they were notified of in advance. They also forgot about that as well. Although they took care of the desserts, the whole dinner wasn't a good experience."

Porterhouse for 2 was so juicy and

Led by General McLane graduate and Edinboro guard Valerie Majewski, area women's basketball players made quite an impact on the PSAC Western Division all-star team Wednesday.
Majewski, who transferred to Edinboro after starting her career at the University at Buffalo, was named PSAC West player of the year and claimed a spot on the first team. The 5-foot 7-inch junior guard has played outstanding all-around basketball for the Fighting Scots, averaging 15.7 points, 4.2 rebounds, 3.9 assists and 2.1 steals per game.
Edinboro won the PSAC West and will host this weekend's PSAC Tournament semifinals and finals. The Scots' Stan Swank was named coach of the year and Darche' Jackson was the defensive player of the year. Aignee' Freeland was named to the first team, while Jackson and Laurel Lindsay made the second team.
Nettie Blake and Jen Papich made the first team for Gannon, and Kelley Sundberg was on the second team.
In addition to Majewski, two other former District 10 players made the PSAC West first team.
Former Mercyhurst Prep standout Lindsay Stamp and former Farrell star D'Asia Chambers both earned the first-team honors. Stamp, who transferred from Mercyhurst University, averaged 17.8 points and 6.3 rebounds per game.
Check out the complete PSAC all-star list.

France edges Serbia, Great Britain loses in overtime
In the final day of the London International Basketball Invitational, San Antonio Spurs' Tony Parker and France remained undefeated as they beat Serbia in a close game 80 to 77 after France let a 23 point lead slip away in the fourth quarter. Before that game, Great Britain lost to Australia in overtime 91 to 90. Spurs draftee Ryan Richards again saw very little playing time in the loss to the Australians.
France was led by Parker who finished with 24 points, six rebounds, three assists, and one pivotal steal that sealed the victory in 29 minute of action. Spurs draftee Nando De Colo had 11 points and three rebounds in 20 minutes of playing time. Portland's Nicolas Batum was the second scoring French player with 14 points, two steals, and three blocks.

Best Buy and Samsung Confirm Partnership to Bring 1,400 Experience Shops by this Summer
Both Best Buy and Samsung recently confirmed that they are teaming up to bring Samsung mini-stores to more than 1,400 Best Buy locations in a similar fashion to the way the locations feature miniature Apple Stores inside. The confirmation recently came in the form of a press release issued by Samsung that stated that the two companies would be partnering to bring Samsung Experience Shops to Best Buy locations across the United States.
The partnership is said to begin with 500 mini-stores opening on April 8 with Samsung stores in 900 Best Buy and Best Buy Mobile stores by early May. The rest of Best Buy's locations will get Samsung installations by early summer. Rumors of the partnership between the two companies were released in late March and the recent news provides further details on the forthcoming mini-stores.
As expected, Samsung's Experience Shops will take up about 460 square feet of space near the front of Best Buy's largest stores. Samsung will staff the stores with dedicated Samsung Experience Consultants, basically workers who are specially trained in assisting with product demonstrations and providing information about basic product services. The mini-store move will help Samsung compete against the only other company to receive such prime placement in Best Buy, which was Apple. It had been said that Samsung cannot rapidly replicate Apple's sizable retail presence throughout the United States, but a notable presence in the U.S.' largest electronic retailer could help Samsung attract more customers.
Although Samsung is the overall leader in smartphones sold worldwide, with about 40% of the market, Apple leads solidly in the United States market with 38% share compared to 21% for Samsung. This move is Samsung's attempt to change those statistics in their favor.

There goes My partnership with BestBuy, they've been going down hill for a while. They've now hit bottom. Try supporting an American Company before China and Korea own us.

Ive known about this for a while. This is gonna happen where I'm at as well. All i can say is Samsung is trying real hard to be like Apple.
At least their products will be more distant from the Apple section. Thats a win in my book.

Nothing fishy about Paramus firm's omega-3 water
* Mycell Technologies is betting on a new line of palatable omega-3 products.
A Paramus company is doing its best to make heart-healthy omega-3, which in capsule form can taste unpleasantly fishy, easier to swallow.
Mycell Technologies LLC and its subsidiary Oceans Omega LLC are launching a line of omega-3-infused water nationally in grocery stores, starting this month with Giant Food LLC, which has stores in New York City.
In February, Stop & Shop and San Antonio-based H-E-B will also start stocking Omega Infusion Enhanced Water on their shelves, said Benjamin Mamola, co-founder and chief executive officer of Mycell and Oceans Omega. The Food Lion supermarket chain, as well as several other grocers, also will begin carrying it this year, while Kmart will start selling Omega Infusion's 2-ounce shots.
Mamola and his two partners founded Mycell in 2010, and they have raised $17 million in three rounds of financing. The company had revenue of about $200,000 last year, but with several of its deals coming to fruition, it projects more than $20 million in revenue this year, said Mamola, who was raised in Paramus and now lives in Ramsey.
"We will be profitable this year," he said. "We're expected to have dramatic growth in 2014 and 2015."
Products that contain the fatty acid omega-3 — which comes from fish and plants and is believed to have anti-inflammatory and cardiovascular benefits — as an additive are a growing segment of the "functional" beverage and food category. It is the next generation of nutritional foodstuffs, going beyond drinks such as vitamin water and milk fortified with vitamin D.
Mycell, which has five patents pending, is one of several companies trying to capitalize on omega-3's reputation. Mycell is creating ingredients, liquid formulations of omega-3, that can be incorporated in food and drinks without altering their taste or smell. SoluBlend Technologies LLC of Frankfort, Ill., and VIRUN in Walnut, Calif., are some of the other players in this segment.
"It's a new market," VIRUN CEO Philip Bromley said. "It's emerging, and the functional water business is growing. … Omega-3 is a good way of getting attention."
Darren Tristano, executive vice president at Chicago-based Technomic Inc., a food industry consulting and research firm, said omega-3-enriched products are a new trend that's building momentum.

WASHINGTON -- President Barack Obama signaled his willingness to tackle climate change with his pick of Gina McCarthy to lead the Environmental Protection Agency, one of three major appointments he announced Monday.
A 25-year veteran of environmental policy and politics, McCarthy has worked for Republicans and Democrats, including Obama's presidential rival, Mitt Romney, who tapped her to help draft state plans for curbing the pollution linked to global warming. Along with McCarthy, Obama nominated MIT nuclear physicist Ernie Moniz to lead the Energy Department and Wal-Mart's Sylvia Mathews Burwell to head the budget office.
McCarthy, 58, a Boston native, has led the EPA's air pollution division since 2009, ushering in a host of new rules targeting air pollution from power plants, automobiles, and oil and gas production.
In nominating McCarthy as the nation's top environmental official, Obama is promoting a climate change champion at a time when he has renewed his commitment to address global warming and the agency is contemplating a host of new rules that could help achieve that. But McCarthy will have to balance the administration's ambitions with a dwindling budget: Congress has cut EPA's budget by 18 percent over the last two years, and the automatic budget cuts that went into effect Friday will hinder the agency's energy efficiency programs and climate research.
Related: State delegates decry Obama's choice for EPA chief
Moniz, as head of MIT's Energy Initiative, has worked on developing ways to produce power while curbing greenhouse gas emissions.
"They're going to be making sure we're investing in American energy, that we're doing everything we can to combat the threat of climate change, that we're going to be creating jobs and economic opportunity," Obama said.
McCarthy also brings a distinctive pronunciation of carbon dioxide, the chief pollutant blamed for climate change. McCarthy, in her thick accent, pronounces carbon as "cahbon."
"You wouldn't know by talking to her, but Gina's from Boston," Obama said. He then praised her for putting in place over the last four years what he said were "practical, cost-effective ways to keep our air clean and our economy growing."
Already, McCarthy has orchestrated many of the agency's most controversial new rules, such as placing the first-ever limits on greenhouse gases on newly built power plants and a long-overdue standard to control toxic mercury pollution from burning coal for electricity. On her plate, should she be confirmed by the Senate, will be even more rules -- from lowering sulfur emissions from gasoline to controlling global warming pollution from the older coal-fired power plants.
Like those regulations, her nomination is all but guaranteed to spark criticism from Republicans, who charge that the agency is killing jobs and undermining the coal industry. Environmentalists, meanwhile, will be looking to ensure that McCarthy issues the toughest rules possible, particularly when it comes to controlling emissions from the existing fleet of power plants.
Despite the partisanship in Washington, McCarthy has said the environment is a non-partisan issue, saying that the choice "doesn't have to be, `Can I have a job or can I breathe clean air.'<\!p><\#148>
But she hasn't backed down when politicians have falsely portrayed her agency's work, such as suggesting EPA was poised to regulate cow flatulence to combat climate change and was looking to go after farmers for spilling milk.

CHARLESTON, W.Va. -- After a classmate sold a cup of lemonade Saturday, Aboud Ashab handed the customer their school's business card.
"Now give her her change back," Ashab, 10, instructed his classmate.
Students from Mountaineer Montessori School set up shop at the Capitol Market to take part in "Lemonade Day," a national program that teaches children how to run their own business.
Isabel Menon, 10, was taking her turn wearing a lemon costume.
"We've learned how to manage money," she said.
Hayden Carriger walked away from the stand, with a cup of lemonade, and hawked his wares to the crowd shopping at the market.
"Lemonade, coffee, candles," he yelled.
"This has helped me learn how to start up a business and learn how to maintain it," said Carriger, 9.
This is the first year West Virginia students have participated in "Lemonade Day," and, according to the event's website, 17 schools around the state took part. About 1 million children in 100 cities nationwide were expected to be involved.
"A whole curriculum was provided," said JoEllen Zacks, a parent and vice president of the Montessori school's board of directors. "It applies real world lessons."

Dear Editor this in regard to the "End the Boy Scout bullying" article you posted in the Tuesday, Oct. 2, edition of the Marietta Times. There are a lot of people out there that are talking about bullying and how this is bullying awareness month and I feel that this viewpoint by (Connie) Schultz is just that - bullying. She not only is bullying the Boy Scouts of America, but so are the United Way of Cleveland and Intel. Just because the Boy Scouts of America don't think the way they do they are bullying them to either change their policy or no funding.
The Boy Scouts of America has been around since 1911 and has had the same scout law. It has not changed. One law 12 points the very last of which is morally straight. Just because some Americans now feel that the homosexual lifestyle is OK, not all of us do. And anyone who does not is considered racist. If that is not bullying I don't know what is. I am a mother of two Eagle Scouts and was a leader in the Scouting program for almost 20 years. Any boy can join the Scouts, there is no discrimination. Only after a scout or scouter an (adult in the Scouting program) has chosen a lifestyle that is not in accordance with the Boy Scout Law are they no longer permitted in The Boy Scouts of America. No matter what organization we choose to join it is still our choice we do not have to be in it. If you don't like the rules join one that you do. Again I stress no boy is discriminated against in The Boy Scouts of America.

Genre: Docudrama, Soap
Premise: Soap operas feature lots of drama -- some of it realistic, some not so much. But sometimes, there is more drama behind the scenes than there is on the show. This docuseries follows a six-pack of soap stars -- Kelly Monaco, Kirsten Storms, Farah Fath, Nadia Bjorlin, Galen Gering and John-Paul Lavoisier -- as they try to traverse the drama of their personal and professional relationships. A romance is tested when one person's career rockets forward while another's is stuck in neutral. Jealousies arise when actors try to jump from one soap to another, and rivals must find a way to coexist without ripping each other to shreds. The show also documents the softer sides of these sudsy stars. One actress meets her biological father for the first time; another tearfully sends her brother to U.S. Army flight school. Through it all, each of the stars has the same goal: to grow his or her career.

Stateside for Monday, April 22nd, 2013
On today's show: the future of education in Michigan.
Governor Snyder has said he believes too much emphasis is put on four-year degrees in our state.
Today, we take a look at the requirements to graduate high school in Michigan.
And billionaire and founder of Quicken Loans Dan Gilbert has a vision for reviving downtown Detroit, but what does Gilbert's "Opportunity Detroit" plan really mean for the city and its residents?
And it's been a challenging few days in terms of rain and flooding through much of Michigan.
In the Lansing area, the Red Cedar River has caused flooding on Michigan State University's campus, leaving some athletic fields waterlogged. This weekend the Lansing Marathon had to be rerouted along the Lansing river trail because of high water levels.
Residents in the Saginaw area are also seeing flooding from the Saginaw River. Over the weekend, officials opened a middle school in Saginaw Township as a shelter due to flooding in the area. And flooding closed some area roads, and people were encouraged to avoid crossing roadways covered by water.
Meanwhile, water levels have lowered in the Midland area, which had been hit by flooding of the Tittabawassee River.
And Grand Rapids is still coping with the aftermath of flooding that hit downtown hotels, stores and businesses. We spoke with Michigan Radio's west Michigan reporter Lindsey Smith.

Marinades and sauces transform fried chicken
Southern fried chicken has long preened in the cultural spotlight, thanks in part to such notables as chef Edna Lewis, TV's Paula Deen and one Kentucky colonel named Harland Sanders. But a new bird is rising out of the East — the Far East — that is capturing some of that shine: fried chicken, Asian-style.

Hypnotic suggestion and cognitive neuroscience
Trends in Cognitive Sciences, Volume 13, Issue 6, 1 June 2009, Pages 264-270
David A Oakley and Peter W. Halligan
AbstractThe growing acceptance of consciousness as a legitimate field of enquiry and the availability of functional imaging has rekindled research interest in the use of hypnosis and suggestion to manipulate subjective experience and to gain insights into healthy and pathological cognitive functioning. Current research forms two strands. The first comprises studies exploring the cognitive and neural nature of hypnosis itself. The second employs hypnosis to explore known psychological processes using specifically targeted suggestions. An extension of this second approach involves using hypnotic suggestion to create clinically informed analogues of established structural and functional neuropsychological disorders. With functional imaging, this type of experimental neuropsychopathology offers a productive means of investigating brain activity involved in many symptom-based disorders and their related phenomenology.

The Brain under Self-Control: Modulation of Inhibitory and Monitoring Cortical Networks during Hypnotic Paralysis
Neuron, Volume 62, Issue 6, 25 June 2009, Pages 862-875
Yann Cojan, Lakshmi Waber, Sophie Schwartz, Laurent Rossier, Alain Forster and Patrik Vuilleumier
SummaryBrain mechanisms of hypnosis are poorly known. Cognitive accounts proposed that executive attentional systems may cause selective inhibition or disconnection of some mental operations. To assess motor and inhibitory brain circuits during hypnotic paralysis, we designed a go-nogo task while volunteers underwent functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) in three conditions: normal state, hypnotic left-hand paralysis, and feigned paralysis. Preparatory activation arose in right motor cortex despite left hypnotic paralysis, indicating preserved motor intentions, but with concomitant increases in precuneus regions that normally mediate imagery and self-awareness. Precuneus also showed enhanced functional connectivity with right motor cortex. Right frontal areas subserving inhibition were activated by nogo trials in normal state and by feigned paralysis, but irrespective of motor blockade or execution during hypnosis. These results suggest that hypnosis may enhance self-monitoring processes to allow internal representations generated by the suggestion to guide behavior but does not act through direct motor inhibition.

Mesmerizing Memories: Brain Substrates of Episodic Memory Suppression in Posthypnotic Amnesia
Neuron, Volume 57, Issue 1, 10 January 2008, Pages 159-170
Avi Mendelsohn, Yossi Chalamish, Alexander Solomonovich and Yadin Dudai
SummaryTwo groups of participants, one susceptible to posthypnotic amnesia (PHA) and the other not, viewed a movie. A week later, they underwent hypnosis in the fMRI scanner and received a suggestion to forget the movie details after hypnosis until receiving a reversal cue. The participants were tested twice for memory for the movie and for the context in which it was shown, under the posthypnotic suggestion and after its reversal, while their brain was scanned. The PHA group showed reduced memory for movie but not for context while under suggestion. Activity in occipital, temporal, and prefrontal areas differed among the groups, and, in the PHA group, between suggestion and reversal conditions. We propose that whereas some of these regions subserve retrieval of long-term episodic memory, others are involved in inhibiting retrieval, possibly already in a preretrieval monitoring stage. Similar mechanisms may also underlie other forms of functional amnesia.

Hypnosis: a twilight zone of the top-down variety
An early form of psychotherapy, hypnosis has been tarnished by a checkered history: stage shows, movies and cartoons that perpetuate specious myths; and individuals who unabashedly write 'hypnotist' on their business cards. Hypnosis is in the twilight zone alongside a few other mind–body exemplars. Although scientists are still unraveling how hypnosis works, little is mystical about this powerful top-down process, which is an important tool in the armamentarium of the cognitive scientist seeking to unlock topical conundrums.

Abortion is as controversial abroad as it is in the United States. Many governments struggle to strike a balance between the rights of pregnant women and the rights of unborn fetuses. The Pew Forum on Religion & Public Life compiled a summary of abortion laws and practices in 30 countries which shows that this often leads to complex policies governing when and under what circumstances a woman may legally have an abortion.Read the full report Abortion Laws Around the World on the Pew Forum on Religion & Public Life Web site.

This log will officially begin on Monday 25 FEB 2013, because my workout week has ended, but I started taking the Nolvadren XT today.
I am coming off of a Formutech BCAA log, and I made some impressive gains in size and loss in body fat. I will continue my current goals to cut BF and increase LBM. I am good at what I do.
I am an active duty soldier in the Army. I used to be an infantryman, now I am a combat medic, serving as the Brigade Medic at Ranger Training Brigade on Fort Benning. I love my job and I am good at it. P90X is a good program for the Soldier Athlete.
I had some serious hip surgeries in the last 5 months, so I am just really diving in to my fitness again. I have lost just over 30 pounds in the last 4 months. Some of that was muscle, but I am getting it back.
This is going to be an epic log. I will also be tracking my progress in my previous log, because I need to track in a central point for record.
My Workout-
Workout program is P90X. I am starting the third week on Monday. Well, really it is supposed to be week 4, but we repeated a week due to some of my clients skipping workouts. Oh yeah, I am a beachbody coach, changing lives and shaping bodies.
My Diet-
Intermittent Fasting, Lean gains method. I train fasted, with just PWO and BCAA's. I train at about 0330-0500. Sometimes I will have to do PT at work again. I eat mostly chicken breast, brown rice, oats, eggs, healthy fats, milk, protein drinks, mixed veggies. I also love pizza. I try to limit my cheat to once a week.
My supps-
-Nolvadren XT
-A pre workout- whatever I have or feel like taking, I have bulk powders to create custom combos.
-Creatine, micronized mono
-Formutech BCAA's
-Modern BCAA's
-*** Mega Men Sport- favorite vitamin for all the goodies inside. I buy them when they are BOGO
-Fish Oil
-Versa-1- I will be on this for the entire log
-AgeForce Fat Burner Patch- I will be running a parralel log for this. I know that is sketchy, but the opposite nature of these supps allows that to be fair.
Starting weight: 169
BF%: Around 15%- bioelectric impedence body fat monitor
I will get some pictures up here tomorrow, and then Monday is going to be sick.

Looks great!! I have versa too. I just didnt know if MAN wanted me to log it together or focus solely on nolvadren. I think it will be good to see solo and stacked. I'll be interested to see how it works for you so I can run the combo next time good luck with your goals!
Far out! I'd like to see how it works for you. I'm starting my 7th week of an 8-week run. So far, so good! Hope you enjoy!
I was taking Endosurge right along with it. I think by week 5, I was getting some of the benefits of it. Been slowly drying me out. This week, I'm going to start stacking it with PR-XT, so, there will be some overlap between finishing my Nolvadren as continue the PR-XT.
Let me tell you that I tore it the **** up in the gym this morning. Chest and Back. Pure beast mode. Today is day 3 of the Nolvadren, and I took 1 the first day.
I like what is going on here.
I am at work right now so I will post more later.

Alright. SO today was the start of thi Ranger class. RAP week begins at 0300, and we have to be in by 0230. I am pretty damn important, so I can go to the gym while the PT test is taking place. I brought my tracking sheets for P90X. I proceeded to bust out the best workout since long before I had my surgeries.
I was pumped, full of energy. I upped my weight and really smoked this workout. My chest and back are super sore.
I took Nolvadren XT today at my first meal, which was at 1000. My new feeding window is 10-6, to fit n with my busy schedule.

I'm in for the ride man! I'm wondering if this cocktail is better then Erase Pro...???
Welcome!! I wouldn't know. I've never tried Erase pro. I will in the future. This stuff seems legit. I am increasing my weight and/or reps each session. Cutting my BF, and feeling like a ****ing monster.
I just came from the gym and tore it up good. Shoulders and arms.
One thing that I can point out is my mood has been ****ty, like snapping at my wife. But then again she is due to give birth any day now to our 3rd little girls, the other kids are acting extra naughty and everyone is on edge.
I will try to keep my aggression where it belongs, in the gym

Plus I'm broke all the time between them and supplements haha :-)
Visit my OCT PCT with VERSA-1 log: OTC PCT with VERSA-1
I am definitely still feeling pumped from this mornings workout. I guess I am about 5 days in with Nolvadren. This being my first supp of this kind, I don't really know what to be looking for. Strength increasing, cutting fat. That is it so far.

Is this your first time running a PX90 program or have you done something similar before?
No, I have done P90X and Insanity a couple of times. I lost a bunch of weight with them over a year ago. Then I had the hip issues and gained a bit of weight.
Now it is time to cut, and shape my way to perfection. After this P90X I will be Bulking with an unknown stack and doing an as of now unknown weight lifting program.

Local Atmosphere: Boston is a great city. Just a little too expensive for a young professional.
Local Atmosphere: Many things are within walking distance from the school. There is public transit right in the middle of the school that can virtually take you anywhere you want to go.
Local Atmosphere: Lot of other schools to interact with as well as stuff to do in the city
Local Atmosphere: Boston is a fun city with a lot of other colleges. Just keep in mind that until you're 21, nightlife isn't really an option though.
Local Atmosphere: Dang. Colleges every which way. Downtown Boston is an hour's walk away and twenty minutes by the T, which, by the way, is accessible by two spots on campus. Always something to do and events going on. Red Sox won this year and we could see Fenway from our dorm building. That's crazy.

Sorry, there are no reviews.
We haven't gathered enough student surveys yet to rank this school. If you are a student at this school, help out and take the college student survey!
Written by Jenn Sinrich
The city of Boston, in general, is a college town. The city is not too big or overwhelming, and there are so many schools located within such a small proximity to one another. Northeastern is located among some of the best attractions, events, and shopping that Boston has to offer! First of all, Northeastern is just around the corner from the beloved Fenway Park. If you're not a Red Sox fan when you get to Boston, chances are you'll be one when you leave. Also around the corner is Newbury Street, which is famous for its high-end boutiques, fancy restaurants, and beautiful architecture. Parallel to Newbury Street is Boylston Street, which is lined with fun bars packed with mostly college students. Even if you're not 21, you can still enjoy Boylston Street's Pour House (along with many other restaurants) for a cheap and incredibly delicious brunch.
If you're looking to watch the Celtics or Bruins play or see your favorite musical artist perform, the TD Banknorth Garden is just a short 10-minute T-ride away from campus. Downtown Boston has plenty of attractions, such as Faneuil Hall, Chinatown, Downtown Crossing, and the theater district. Another great aspect of Boston's atmosphere is the local suburbs like Brookline and Cambridge, which are only 10 minutes away and offer a nice break from the chaos of the city. No matter what you enjoy seeing, doing, or eating, the city of Boston and its suburbs have so much to offer—it's impossible to think of going to college anywhere else.

Your Discipline Problems Are Over: The Data Is In
Eliminate your discipline referrals with 60 Seconds! The most recent data shows that in a ninth grade history class, there was an 87% decrease in behavioral redirection for mild to moderate disruptions. The teacher went from giving 47 disciplinary redirects per month to only 6 after the students learned and practiced 60 Seconds daily. The first signs of this dramatic decrease occurred within the first week of utilizing 60 Seconds. In the more severe disciplinary category, the incidence of referrals to the principal's office decreased 100%, from 3 to 0 per month. Read more…

Children & Technology: Minimize The Risks With This One Tip
…..With summer on the way it would serve us ALL well to reconsider the amount of time we spend on technological gadgets: television, telephone, computer, ipad, x-box, wii, etc. Neuroscientific findings are mounting to confirm that these activities change our brain, the prefontal cortex in particular (Small, 2008). While not all these changes are bad, studies reveal that the more time spent online, the more the brain shows signs of atrophy, such as abnormal white matter and structural abnormalities in gray matter (Dokoupil, 2012). After extensive research on the subject, in his Pulitzer Prize nominated book, The Shallows, Nicholas Carr cautions that the Internet is leaving people feeling more anxious and compulsive. Read more…

It's Never too Late!
Scientific American recently published an article that explained how our brains are changed by early family turmoil. Even sleeping infants exposed to the sounds of family arguments demonstrated changes to the part of their brain responsible for regulating emotions and stress. It is now unequivocal that infants, toddlers, children, and adolescents are exquisitely sensitive to the environment in which their brain is developing, and that "environment" is not just at home, but at school as well. The choices we make as parents and educators have a profound effect on the children in our care, and it is never too late to make a better, healthier choice for the brain. The most important message of the article is that "damage is unlikely to be permanent…when professionals offer the right treatments…those [that] directly target the neurological changes." We know the neurological changes made by stress – any kind of stress when beyond mild to moderate – affects the capacity to regulate arousal and emotions in our children and in us. We can do much to ensure that we are regulated as parents and educators, within our zone of optimal arousal, so that the children in our care benefit from that. Read more…

K-12 Curriculum "Brain Charge" is now Evidence-Based!
Brain Charge, the K-12 curriculum that increases sensory awareness for self-regulation and student achievement, is currently in several schools in both the U.S. and Canada. The aim of the program is to make it easy and fun for teachers AND their students to reduce stress and increase success. Other programs and curricula offer the same reward yet can be more time-consuming than is pragmatic for the everyday classroom teacher. For example, research is supporting mindfulness meditation in schools, a brain-training technique based on using your breath to achieve mental clarity. However, my passion and mission with Brain Charge is to demonstrate that this can be achieved in far less time and much more practical ways. Preliminary evidence of Brain Charge indicates that it takes only "60 Seconds" to reduce stress and feel the good feelings that propel our best performance, students and educators alike. Read more…

How Children Succeed: 3 Simple Tips
….."How Children Succeed" is an important new book written by Paul Tough. In it the author compiles recent research that points to the essential contribution of NON-cognitive skills to children's success. Many researchers and educators are now grouping together these skills "under the rubric self-regulation." Self-regulation is what supports "an inclination to persist at a boring and often unrewarding task; the ability to delay gratification; [and] the tendency to follow through on a plan," all so necessary to academic achievement and beyond. According to Tough, researchers are finding that non-cognitive factors such as "curiosity, self-control, and social fluidity" do more to lead to desired outcomes than more traditional pre-academic skills.
…..More than anything else, what impairs the capacity to self-regulate, and therefore succeed, is stress and the complex series of chemical reactions in the body that it elicits. At this physiological level is where solutions are found. We can give the "brain-body" – our physiology – the exact antidote it needs to eradicate the effects of stress in just a few simple ways.

Brain Charge Update
Brain Charge feedback from Patrick Henry Elementary School already SO ENCOURAGING: Two teachers attended a recent PTA meeting to share with the parents how wonderful Brain Charge has been for their students. One teacher told the parents that for the first time in her teaching career, not one of her students broke into tears before having to take a timed math test. On the contrary, the students eased into the test, and thus were able to give their best performance. Data will be collected throughout the school year and available for review in the spring. Before we know it, this revolutionary K-12 curriculum will be evidenced-based and bridging the gap between what science knows and what education does! Join the movement today by purchasing your copy of the curriculum at www.DrMelrose.com.

Self-regulation in our students eradicates bullying, violence, anger, aggression, substance abuse, cutting, promiscuity, teen pregnancy, excessive video gaming, and so many other concerns of our time. Simply and with ease we may now adopt the specific tools necessary to develop and sustain the self-regulatory state so essential to both achievement and joy! The curriculum, subtitled, "Sensory Awareness for Student Achievement," is full of diagrams, scripts, tools, checklists, and activities, most of which take only SECONDS to do. If you want to see changes in your classroom environment quickly, this program is what you need. It is based on all current neuroscience, to support you in your desire to stop doing what you know isn't working. Right now you don't know what else to do.

21st Century Teaching & Parenting: Do Just One Thing
A recent neuroscientific article was published in the New York Times entitled, "Post-Prozac Nation." It offered more evidence that clarified yet again the importance of doing just one thing. In order to regulate emotions to remain in the optimum zone of arousal necessary for success, there is only one most essential action to take: inaction. Sitting in stillness for as long as we can changes the brain in ways that are critical to the improvements we need to see in education and parenting RIGHT NOW. Sitting in stillness – in a mindful way – is medicine to the brain because it is the opposite experience – the antidote – to the stressful "doing, doing, doing" that we engage in now. Our constant and rather mindless "doing" is causing our brain-body to degenerate, quite literally. Our current way of life is producing a degree of stress and thereby cortisol that is causing the significant loss of neurons and neural pathways in the parts of our brain that regulate emotion. Eventually, when stress is constant, as it is for all of us today, including our children, the brain-body shuts down and causes the apathy we see all around us, especially in our schools. Read more…

Help for ALL Parents: 2 Important First Steps
We all had a dream of what life would be like once we had our children, but few of us are living it. Reality happens and, sometimes, it is far from what we had envisioned.

Whether we have a tantruming toddler, a school-aged child not wanting to go to school, or a teenager that's checking out more and more, there are so many resources available to us that can REALLY create the change we want to see; but WE have to seek them out, do the work, and BE the change!

Happy New You! 3 Tips…
I learned more in 2011 than I have in any other year. When stress is greatest, and we are not at our best because of it, we are presented with a big opportunity for change. The economy has created for many of us the loss of our livelihood, our homes, our relationships or our loved ones. Though this has called for reflection, recovery and repair, great change from these losses can come when we welcome change rather than resist it – when we allow for a new way to emerge from the ashes, and we choose to recognize the opportunity presented. The following 3 tips are how I found my power after losses in 2011 that felt beyond my control. Read more…

Several Studies Offer 3 Important Tips
In a recent study reported in the Los Angeles Times, an important finding was made with HUGE implications for both education and parenting: When it comes to self-regulation and self-control, anticipating pride for good behavior helps us behave much better than anticipating shame for bad behavior. In fact, "the more we anticipate public humiliation and guilt, the worse we're likely to do when it comes to self-control. If we focus on the pride that comes from good behavior, we make better choices, by far." What we focus on matters. Neuroscientist Richard Davidson, for example, focuses not on fixing what is wrong with conditions like ADHD and Autism, but on revising our minds with life-enriching experiences. This is how we change the brain – in the desired direction! Read more…

Teachers & Parents, We've Lost Our Mind: 3 Tips to Get it Back
While visiting friends over the summer, I was disheartened to find that even those I most admire – smart, successful, loving people – are choosing a path for their children that leaves them all miserable. The stress in the home was palpable. After a LONG day at summer camp, even their 5-year-old was subjected to drilling of math facts at 8:30 at night. In the summer! The poor girl was squirming down her chair to try to disappear under the table, whining, and stating over and over again how much she hated this, that she didn't want to be doing this. It was painful to watch. When I suggested to the father that this not be insisted upon at this time in this way, he actually said, "We all need to work. She has to get used to work." "REALLY?!" I thought, "At 5?!" Read more…

Congratulations Graduates!
I just had the privilege of delivering the commencement speech to the very first graduates of the phenomenal charter school, Wildwood Environmental Academy, in Perrysburg, Ohio. I hope you will agree that its message is worth repeating here: An American independent film maker, Woody Allen, once said: Ninety per cent of success is showing up. So to all of you, dear graduates, for showing up, today, and all the days and years of your education, congratulations on your success! You did it! And this is your reward…If 90% of success is showing up, according to Allen, the New York Times recently explained the other 10%. According to their article, the necessary ingredient for a healthy life filled with joy and a sense of well-being (how I define success), is something called, "self-compassion:" the ability to love and forgive yourself even though you are not perfect, you aren't right all the time, you make mistakes, you even fail.

Keep Your Sanity Amidst the Chaos: One Important Tip (x3)
There is no escaping the collapse of this economy, it seems. We are either losing our job or home, or we know and love someone else who is. Educators have received their "pink slips" as budgets continue to be slashed, and foreclosures are everywhere. I have not been immune to this terrible time in our history as I face both the final stages of losing my home as well as the least busy summer season of my career. It would be easy to succumb to the grimness of it all if I wasn't a person who practices what she preaches! Read more…

Online Seminar: Succeeding with Angry Students
Students are not just angrier today than ever before, they are checked out, shut down, disengaged, unmotivated, and violent towards themselves and others. They go from zero (zoned out) to ten (raging) and back down to zero within a space of a few minutes multiple times throughout the day. It behooves us as educators and parents. We don't know where the behavior comes from or what we can do about it and, because of that, our high school drop out rates are at a staggering incline, as are rates of mental health disorders and suicide in both children and adolescents. Join me online to understand who our students are today, how their brain works optimally, and how we can prevent all the challenges we face as we try to educate our youth. When faced with that shut down or angry student, learn what the most time-efficient, practical, and successful choices are that we can make. Read more…

A Follow-Up Article: Why Waldorf Works for My Son
We are not all born equal. At birth, each of our children is born with his or her own degree of vulnerability and resilience based upon both genetics and experience in utero. Experience after birth – the kind and quality of interactions our children have with others in the environment – challenges that vulnerability and resilience to bring about either more or less vulnerability and resilience. Though our capacity to parent our children in healthy ways is paramount, the school we choose for our children is equally so. Read more…

Students First: An Educator's Next 3 Steps
With former chancellor Michelle Rhee's announcement of StudentsFirst.org and its initiative, teachers may feel discouraged about the stability of their profession. There is a movement in education, supported by a swelling of parents, to let bad teachers go. What I hope can be the focus of such a movement is a thoughtful and productive examination of what makes teachers great. There are plenty of fantastic teachers working today. This I know because of the privilege I have had over the last 19 years to work with them. What makes teachers great is not just what you would think from a common sense point of view. Recent neuroscience makes clear how teachers can be most effective no matter how difficult the challenge. Read more…

Chromatin remodelers use the energy of ATP hydrolysis to reposition or evict nucleosomes or to replace canonical histones with histone variants. By regulating nucleosome dynamics, remodelers gate access to the underlying DNA for replication, repair, and transcription. Nucleosomes are subject to extensive post-translational modifications that can recruit regulatory proteins or alter the local chromatin structure. Just as extensive crosstalk has been observed between different histone post-translational modifications, there is growing evidence for both coordinated and antagonistic functional relations between nucleosome remodeling and modifying machineries. Defining the combined functions of the complexes that alter nucleosome interactions, position, and stability is key to understanding processes that require access to DNA, particularly with growing appreciation of their contributions to human health and disease. Here, we highlight recent advances in the interactions between histone modifications and the imitation-switch (ISWI) and chromodomain helicase DNA-binding protein 1 (CHD1) chromatin remodelers from studies in budding yeast, fission yeast, flies, and mammalian cells, with a focus on yeast.
