Tre's note (doing a Fooch impression): Solid post here by Grant that I felt was worthy of moving up to the front page. Also, I'm short.
As fans and pundits alike have been looking more at the statistical side of the NFL, people have become more familiar with the concept of regression to the mean. This concept suggests that unless there is some significant explanatory factor not captured by statistics, over time, statistics that look strange (exceptionally high or low) will generally change to be less strange (more like the average).
The reason I bring this up is that it seemed to me that the 2011 49ers scored an inordinately low number of "cheap points"--that is, non-offensive points--in 2011. When I had a look at this in a more detailed way, the numbers bore out. Follow me after the jump to see how this affects the 49ers as we look forward to the playoffs.
Here are the facts (all numbers courtesy Yahoo Sports):
- The 2011 49ers forced the 2nd-most turnovers in the league (after the Packers)
- The 2011 49ers made the 2nd most interceptions (after the Packers)
- The 2011 49ers forced the 2nd-most fumbles in the league (after the Ravens)
- The 2011 49ers scored only 1 defensive TD all season
- The 2011 49ers were 5th in average Punt Return yardage per return
- The 2011 49ers were 1st in average Kick Return yardage per return
- The 2011 49ers only returned 1 punt and 1 Kick for TDs
In total, the 2011 49ers defense and return game gave them 3 TDs. This ranked them 20th in the league, which seems particularly low, given the general success of the 49ers' return game and the defense's impressiveness taking the ball away.
The offense's (lack of) red zone production has often been criticized during this season. But perhaps that's because they were often only getting the ball in good (sometimes *really* good) field position instead of getting another TD on the board! Other than the Seattle game, can you recall a time when the defense has flipped not just field position--but the score on the scoreboard?
Do you think that regression to the mean will mean that the 49ers will get some of the cheap points that they've been missing in the regular season in the playoffs?
The google-doc that I've posted here will allow you to do all the sorting you want:

Greetings all. I know it's been a long time, so I thought I'd drop in and say that the site is not dead. I've still been scouring the bins and have some great finds to share. Late last year the site was hacked, which was the style at the time. I cleaned it up, but not good enough, and it was hacked again earlier this year. (These people are very serious about their sweepstakes and contests). Cleaned again and this time it looks the vermin might be finally eliminated. Hopefully have some albums up real soon.
Love the cover on this Tico 10-inch from Joe Loco. These are some laid-back Latin jazz tunes for your cocktail hour.
Enjoy "Why Don't You Do Right":

The Nearness of You
If you are anything at all like me, you consider the Marty Cooper Clan's recording of "Walk, Don't Run" to be one of modern mankind's greatest achievements. If that's the case, you should also enjoy David Carroll's "Mexico and Eleven Other Great Hits." Pitched on the back cover as a cash in on the Nashville Brass bandwagon (recorded in Nashville and "will mark your introduction to the new 'sound' craze currently sweeping the country"), this album is really much, much more than that. In these dozen short tracks, the varied arrangements feature electric and acoustic guitars, groovy background vocals, and even manage to throw in an occasional Hammond organ, as we swerve from Ventures style surf into Boots Randolph territory all under the guise of Latin standards like Tequila and Vaya Con Dios. Another wonderful rescue from the Goodwill outlet, purchased by the pound, but the vinyl's in very good shape. Presented in glorious mono.
I challenge anyone to find a more swinging version of Perfidia:

Regular visitors to this blog (and I'm not sure why there would be any given the erratic frequency of posting) know of my love for the Seeco record label. Well imagine my joy when I stumbled upon this gem at the local Goodwill outlet store. If you've never been to a Goodwill outlet store, it's worth a trip just for the spectacle. Picture row after row of troughs, filled with the dregs and unwanted leftovers and castoffs from the thrift stores from the surrounding area. There's always a sizable crowd of people digging through the troughs, and another long line anxiously awaiting the arrival of new troughs to be wheeled out. Everything is sold by the pound, so yes, this record was purchased by the pound. I bought a Gameboy and this record for the grand total of 79 cents.
Given the nature of this discovery, you can rightly imagine that the condition of the vinyl is less than ideal. In my mind, the music more than outshines the cracks and pops, and in fact, adds to the charm in my opinion. This one is a winner, no matter how you slice it.
This is a sampler of the Seeco "Una Noche en …" series. There are twelve Una Noche albums featured on the cover, and I have never actually seen any of them in the wild. Google tells me there was a series of samplers.
Check out "El Bombon de Elena":

Going Latin and the brilliant Blue Ribbon Orchestra brings you hit tunes of the time in fascinating dance rhythms. Hear the happy sounds of strings in a boldly, modern beat! Explore the rhythms of the mambo, cha cha and more melodies you know!
Don't know much about the "Blue Ribbon Orchestra," but all the standards are here, performed competently, if a bit methodically. But you really can't go wrong with this, and the vinyl is pristine. The first track is spelled "Taquila" on the jacket. Not really big drinkers in the Blue Ribbon Orchestra.

The oldest university town in the UK, Oxford is known as the city of the 'dreaming spires', famous for its beautiful medieval churches, colleges and associated buildings such as the world-famous Bodleian Library (one of the oldest in Europe) and Radcliffe Camera (Britain's first circular library). With founding dates in the 13th century, Balliol, University, and Merton all claim oldest-college status, while Magdalen (pronounced 'maudlin'), and Christ Church (of Brideshead Revisited fame) are established tourist destinations. As for where to eat, the general trend for restaurants in Oxford is informal, best seen in places such as Sojo (Chinese) or Edamame (Japanese home cooking). Elsewhere, there's the smart, convivial Ashmolean Dining Room on the rooftop of The Ashmolean Museum, The Magdalen Arms, the kind of gastropub you're glad to stumble on, and that Oxford institution, The Cherwell Boathouse, a punt station and restaurant on the banks of the River Cherwell.

Agriculture & rural development
With over 70% of the world's poor living in rural areas, support to agriculture and rural development is fundamental for reducing poverty and boosting growth. Moreover, up to 90% of the population in many developing countries depend on agriculture and farming for their living, as these provide income, employment and food, as well as raw materials for industry and exports.
What's On
On 8 April 2009, the Commission presented a Communication on Supporting developing countries in coping with the crisis. Among the proposed measures, the Communication underlines the need to speed up financing for agriculture and to invest in agricultural corridors.
Financial support
For the period 2007-2013, the EU's support to agriculture and rural development is financed through two types of instruments:
- Geographical instruments supporting the implementation of sectoral policy at national, regional and continental levels, under theEuropean Development Fund (in the African, Caribbean and Pacific countries), the Development Co-operation Instrument (in Latin America, Asia and South Africa), and the European Neigbourhoud & Partnership Instrument (in the neighbouring regions);
- Thematic instruments under the DCI, such as the Food Security Thematic Programme, financing structural support to food security including agricultural research & extension and Accompanying Measures for Sugar Protocol (AMSP) countries which help 18 countries to adjust to the new sugar trade regime with the EU;
- Ad hoc instruments such as the € 1 billion Food Facility for rapid response to soaring food prices in developing countries whose objectives include boosting in the short to medium-term agriculture in selected countries.
Background information
The EU policy for rural development in developing countries aims at reducing poverty, increasing food security and protecting natural resources. To do so, its assistance pursues the following goals:
- Promote broad-based rural economic growth, by boosting primary production and make it more efficient, promoting agricultural practices and technologies that are environmentally sustainable and raise rural income, and by stimulating rural off-farm activities;
- Ensure more equitable and more securing access to land for the rural poor;
- Reduce vulnerability to risks;
- Strengthen veterinary and plant health services in order to control diseases that affect animals and crops, and to ensure that safer products reach the food chain;
- Improve access to markets by building necessary infrastructure, and to advisory and financial services;
- Support agricultural research and dissemination;
- Enhance education and training;
- Build more effective, accountable, decentralised and participatory institutions.
The Commission is a member of the Global Donor Platform for Rural Development whose goal is achieving increased development assistance impact and more effective investment in rural development and agriculture. To this end, the EC also fosters sectoral approaches in its rural and agriculture development programmes.

MOODY — Pinson Valley lost in the first round of the Class 5A Area 11 softball tournament as Springville came from behind for a 6-5 win. But the Indians came back to smash Center Point 16-0 in three innings in the loser's bracket semifinal on Monday at Moody.
In the opening game, the Indians scored all five of their runs in the fourth inning after the Tigers had taken a 3-0 lead.
Jenna Trimm put Pinson on the board with a bases-loaded single on a ground ball to the shortstop. Kaitlyn Crocker then sent home two runs on a line-drive double to left field. Trimm then scored on a passed ball, and then Crocker came home from third when Destiny Cole grounded out to short.
The Tigers got the go-ahead runs in the bottom of the sixth when Sydne Waldrop hit a two-out single to center field that scored Baleigh Swaney and Hayden Henderson. Waldrop was thrown out at second as she tried to stretch the single into a double.
Ashlyn Hawkins got the win in relief for Springville, allowing two hits in three innings work. Lauren Keplinger got the loss for the Indians as she went the distance.
In the nightcap, Lexi Wombal allowed just one hot and struck out five Eagle batters, as Pinson ran roughshod over an inexperienced Center Point squad. Hana Presley went 3-for-3 at the plate with three RBIs.
That win sets up a game against Moody in the loser's bracket final, after the Tigers knocked off the Blue Devils in the winner's bracket finals. The game begins at 4:30, with a trip to the regional tournament next week in Tuscaloosa is on the line.

Pours a cloudy amber with a big off white head that stays well and laces the glass in sheets. Aromas of oranges, some grapefruit, and underlying caramel malt. Flavor is well balanced between grapefruit hops and caramel malts giving some orange flavor, some pineapple, good grainy notes too. Nice balance and good medium body. 10% abv is covered completely and the bitter dry finish leaves you wanting more even after the glass is empty. Of course...Retired.

A buddy brought a bunch of samples from New Glarus. The IIPA pours an attractive slightly hazy golden orange with a decent white head leaving a nice lacing. The smell includes a interesting herb followed by citrus and a strong floral and malt notes. The taste brings more of the nose along with a bitter refreshing bite that combines with a strong malt. The mouthfeel was full/medium body. Not quite as high in abv as some IIPAs but was very nice.

A: Slightly cloudy golden in color. Forms a moderate-sized white head. Decent retention. Minimal lacing.
S: Quite aromatic. Strong blend of grapefruit and pine with a bit of malty toast in the background.
T: Appreciable toasty malt body then grapefruit, pine, and a little pine resin. Then citrus, lemon, and a little orange, but the orange is overpowered by the grapefruit and pine. Herbal hops and alcohol linger on the finish.
M: On the lighter side of medium with a strong, biting bitterness. Medium to lightly heavy carbonation.
O: Yes! I never figured Dan would produce a beer like this. Maybe not totally West Coast, but pretty damn close, with a in-your face aroma and stinging bitterness. Not the clean, subtle beers NG typically produces, but a damn fine beer indeed.

3.58/5 rDev -12.9%
A- Pours a very light orange-yellow liquid with a thin and splotchy yet creamy white head. A little bland looking for the style.
S- A massive amount of pine up front followed by some grass, mint, and fruitiness. There is a bit of a malt backing, but it is only there as a formality.
T- Sweet malt with a nice piney hop aspect. Simple, sweet, and bitter.
M- A bit oily and smooth with a dry finish.
O- Definitely on the forgettable side for the style. The piney aspect is great, but other than that there is not much else going on.

Many thanks to northyorksammy for a box of Wisconsin. Poured from a 12 oz bottle into my Dogfish Head oversized snifter.
Bright gold and gamboge liquid is clearly unfiltered and topped by a lasting creamy ghost white collar and archipelago of micro-bubbles assembled at the surface. Delicate sandy arcs of lacing.
Grapefruit and pineapple in the nose - not quite tropical overall. Pure clean malt. Faint herbal notes as well.
Unapologetically powerful malt bill, though stays away from caramel notes so as not to impede the delivery of potent hop flavors. Menthol, watermelon, subtle pepper, and pine/citrus C-hops blend perfectly - crisp bitter refreshing profile overall. Finishes dry, bitter, and slightly herbaceous.
Medium-bodied, actively carbonated, and brisk.
Not a style I'd expect New Glarus to excel at, but this is the peer of the majority of top-tier hop-head-oriented examples available in SoCal. Worth seeking out for sure.

Thanks to maximum12 for the chance to try this one again, and review it!
A-Clear gold with just a hint of honey, some nice pooling of a white head and good lacing.
S-Juicy, juicy hops. This is the freshest bottle I have had of this one. Sweet citrus and pine. Luscious.
T-Sweet malt complements the sweet fruity hops quite nicely. Hop presence is solid but not overpowering.
M-Medium bodied, surprisingly light on the tongue. Nice carbonation.
O-I am a big fan of this one. ABV is a bit higher than I like but the alcohol is extremely well hidden. Really nice.

12oz brown bottle with no freshness date.
Color: Clear pale gold.
Smell: Orangey, leafy, aspirin, fresh mint, papaya, alcoholic esters and a honey-like maltiness.
Taste & Mouthfeel: Creamy body draws in the smoothness. Hop bitterness is very aggressive. Citirc rind, peppercorn, warming alcohol, mint, leafy resin and some dry bready malt. Hops don't let up so easy either. Tropical fruit, yeast and hard lingering hop in the bitter finish.
Overall: Hops are clearly the show stealer here, perhaps too aggressive as with each sip there is no recovering … just more hops.

3.95/5 rDev -3.9%
Poured from a 12 oz. bottle into a tulip glass.
According to the label this 'IIPA' is 9% abv.
A: Clear, orange-golden color with one finger of diminishing white foam head. Light lacing remains on the glass and bubbles rise through the column in clumps rather than streams.
S: Bready and vinous, with retreating hops that lose their tropical fruit and citrus notes within five minutes. The qualities are remarkably clean, advertising well the malt profile to come in the taste. No alcohol is detected.
T: Begins off-dry, with bright and acidic bready malt that is crisp and appealing, if not particularly deep. Hop aromatics are restrained early, showing a fairly wide spectrum of flavors (dominated by grapefruit citrus and pine) but not shouting about them particularly loud. Soft malt is retained into the middle, where fruit flavors are delicate and vinous. Bitterness is moderate in the finish and slightly astringent, with some new grapefruit peel and lemongrass as well as a marginal lean toward the sweet also happening late. No alcohol is detected.
M: Medium viscosity, simultaneously delicate and exciting on the palate allowing the drinker to note that the acidity is more tasted than felt, with low carbonation.
D/O: This is a very interesting DIPA that comes across as malt-forward, owing to a feather-light (for the style) backbone of English malt that is striking upon its deconstruction. It is just as enjoyable when taken as a whole, with a soothing texture that adds to the experience. While it might not turn too many heads as a limited-release, almost any Midwestern brewery would be lucky to have this beer as its well-rounded DIPA for all seasons.

4.45/5 rDev +8.3%
A: Hazy golden brew, just a little darker than a Weizen, with a small white head.
S: Huge pine and lemon hop aroma, like a Christmas tree, or like Pinesol (but not astringent/chemical).
T: Strong pine and lemon flavor again with an average bitterness balanced on a medium-bodied malt base with a sort of bready middle (finish goes back to the hops). Very clean, complex, and refreshing. This was probably my favorite New Glarus beer the moment I tasted it.
M: Nice average body appropriate to IIPA with good carb and crisp, clean character.
Great! Says here it's not brewed anymore, but I saw quite a bit of it in the grocery store. From the aroma it can't be that old. I might have to get some more.

4.43/5 rDev +7.8%
Poured into my Sierra Nevada bulb glass.
Appearance: Pours a nice light golden color with a two finger white head. Very bubbly, head does not seem to want to recede any time soon.
Smell: Very citrus-y. Nice and pungent, bitter hoppiness as well. Malt backbone seems to be present but the hops dominate the smell.
Taste: Wow delicious! Perect balance of bitterness in conjunction with citrus flavors. Honestly I am surprised this beer is not more highly regarded! Maybe due to the slight noticability of the alcohol content but other than that it is clean and nice and refreshing. Reminiscent of Pliny the Elder (I hate these comparisons most times but this one really does remind me of it).
Mouthfeel: To style, heavier side of medium but low to medium carbonation.
Overall: Very much enjoyed! I would love to have regular access to New Glarus offerings and am so happy I had the chance to try this one out!

4.03/5 rDev -1.9%
Poured from a bottle to a snifter glass. This beer is a deep gold color with a one finger rocky white head that dissipates rather quickly.
Smells resinous and grassy. This gives off a really nice aroma.
Bitter hops up front with a little nutty sweetness from the malts.
For a IIPA this is smooth. For the alcohol content it's not very noticeable, doesn't coat the mouth and leave a potent lingering aftertaste. Sometimes I like the aftertaste but it's a good change to have a quality IIPA without the hardcore aftertaste.
One of the lighter IIPA's I've tasted. Nothing here is over the top or extreme which is what I typically go for. This is different and good.

Indulge your senses with the splendid beauty and flavors of Dalmatia's largest city during this memorable tour.
Departing the pier, you'll begin with a panoramic drive through the town before arriving at your first stop, the Mestrovic Gallery. Ivan Mestrovic is the greatest Croatian sculptor of all times and a large part of his impressive work is displayed here in his house, which now serves as an important Croatian gallery.
Proceeding back into the center of town, you'll embark on a guided walking tour of the city. The Old Town of Split is built on and around the spectacular Roman Palace erected by the Roman Emperor Diocletian (born in Salona - today's Solin) in the 4th century. Your first visit is to the amazing Ethnographical Museum which is situated in the very heart of Diocletian Palace, actually in the Emperor' s Apartment. The Museum building itself is very interesting since it is a combination of a beautiful medieval house and stately imperial rooms. Within its walls you will not only find a valuable collection of clothes, dresses and gowns, but also gain an interesting picture of life in Split throughout the centuries.
You will also visit the Cathedral of St. Duje, the patron saint of the city. The cathedral is built on the remains of an ancient shrine that is thought to be the oldest of its kind in the world. An additional visit is planned to the charming Temple of Jupiter.
Re-joining your coach, it's a short drive to Terra, a restored wine cellar located in a 100-year-old house near the renowned Bacvice Beach. This cellar, which has been converted into a unique enoteka, is comprised of thick stone walls that keep the temperature cool and provide a unique atmosphere. Terra is home to a wide selection of wines from all over the world, with an emphasis on the wines of Dalmatia. Upon arrival, you will be served a variety of cold game cuts, salamis and domestic desserts, accompanied by a special selection of Dalmatian wines served in handmade glasses. Entertainment will be provided by a group of local singers and musicians performing traditional Dalmatian songs.
Your very special tour concludes with a return transfer to the ship.
Please note: This tour includes approximately 2 hours of walking over mostly flat surfaces. There are a moderate number of steps to be negotiated and it is not considered suitable for wheelchair guests or those with mobility concerns. Casual lightweight clothing, a hat and comfortable walking shoes are suggested. Guests must be at least 21 years of age to be served alcoholic beverages.

|Government deception is getting old
Dear Editor:
Please allow me to respond to Terrance Moe's letter from last week, "Blueways System is just a baby step," which was a response to mine several weeks prior, "Beware of government's generalizations."
I appreciate the fact that Mr. Moe continued the conversation on the beginnings and future vision of today's environmental movement (which opponents largely view as government oppression and elitism), however, there were inaccuracies that must be addressed so that citizens have the proper materials to develop solid convictions of the world around them, especially at this unprecedented time when nothing ever turns out to be as advertised.As Mr. Moe noted, the blockbuster book, "Silent Spring," created awareness of the bio-accumulation of DDT through the food chain, environmental impact, decline of birds of prey, cancer and genetic damage. But to those emotionally invested in Rachel Carson's heart-tugging story line, all of the aforementioned claims have since been proven substantially false making the benefits of DDT far outweigh any risks, particularly when the life-saving chemical is employed in a judicious manner.
Unfortunately, space limits a detailed rebuttal, so the following quotes will suffice in painting a clear picture of what many believe is the impetus behind DDT restrictions. For example, former Sierra Club director Michael McCloskey stated in 1971 that his organization "wants a ban on pesticides, even in countries where DDT has kept malaria under control."
In a similar population-control mind set, Alexander King, the director of the global think tank Club of Rome, complained in 1990, "My chief quarrel with DDT in hindsight is that it greatly added to the population problem."
And,?Environmental Defense Fund's senior scientist Charles Wurster enthusiastically told the Seattle Times, "If the environmentalists win on DDT, they will achieve a level of authority they have never had before."
Then, while making a collectivist case for limiting American's sacred and interconnected unalienable rights of liberty and property, Mr. Moe attempted to discredit my warning about the National Blueways System and its heavy-handed edict. In effect Mr. Moe rationalizes that government isn't concealing any unscrupulous motives, because according to official documents, participation is "entirely voluntary and locally driven" and it involves no "changes in private property or water rights."
Yet, not only do we have a glaring track record of similar rhetoric and corresponding broken promises coming out of the Obama administration on a number of other issues, but Barack Obama when peddling ObamaCare, fallaciously said, "If you like your doctor, you'll be able to keep your doctor," and the health-care law will "cut the cost of a typical family's premium by up to $2,500 a year."
That said, a reference cited in my initial letter was an official report from a recent House Natural Resources Subcommittee field hearing in Missouri, titled "Stopping Federal Land and Water Grabs: Protecting Property Rights from Washington, D.C. Edicts." The hearing examined the burdens of the National Blueways Order which imposes a federal watershed designation process with questionable legal authorities.
According to Subcommittee Chairman Tom McClintock of California, "The principle focus of today's hearing is the fever-dream of leftist environmental groups in conjunction with the Interior Department to declare vast watersheds as National Blueways. As we review Obama Administration documents, we discover that the so-called rewards for the White River Blueway included imposing buffer zones, seizing almost 300,000 acres of land, forcing conservation plans on the region's farms, and banning human activity from flood plains."
Government deception is getting old.

Healing Power of Yoga
The Future is Yoga
Khalsa may have been ahead of his time, but it seems the world around him is finally starting to catch up. "I've noticed a shift even in the 10 years I've been at Stanford," says McGonigal. "Today, a lot of the younger researchers are interested in yoga and meditation, and they're doing their dissertations on it. That just wasn't the case when I started. "
This newfound interest in yoga from the science world will, Khalsa says, surely boost yoga's credibility as a therapy. "A lot of older, veteran scientists will resist the idea of yoga as a legitimate therapy until the day they die. It's just the nature of bias and belief." (For illustration, he offers the "cigarettes don't cause cancer" die-hards.) "Often it's the next generation that can finally enact a shift."
As more young researchers become interested in yoga, more proposals will be written and accepted; more studies will then appear in peer-reviewed journals. "Once you get hundreds replicating the same outcome in different populations, in different countries, using different styles, then confidence begins to gain. It takes a critical mass of research evidence to ultimately shift the bulk of scientific opinion toward acceptance."
As someone who has waited decades just to receive rejection letters from the NIH, Khalsa is prepared to persevere and bring yoga its due recognition. "My aim is to provide evidence that yoga has a place in regular, everyday life as well as in therapy. And I'll do that by compiling the evidence showing that it works," he says. As author and Kripalu Yoga teacher Stephen Cope explains it, when it comes to the potential of this practice in America, "Sat Bir is holding the 3,000-foot view." It just may take a while for the world to catch up with him.
Formerly the health editor of Yoga Journal and, most recently, executive editor of Body+Soul, Jennifer Barrett now writes from her home in West Hartford, Connecticut.

November 8, 2012
Election night has long come to a close in America. Many citizens are still settling in to the news of the night, some are planning their moves to some other country that they think might better suit them and journalists are fighting to return to their normal sleep schedules after a long night of cold pizza and tracking down politicians after hours. While Tuesday's excitement is still on people's minds I thought that I would share a photo that I was fond of from election night.
Tuesday I was assigned to follow Sandra McKenzie, the Democratic candidate for 24th District Judge in the Crossroads. In case you didn't hear, McKenzie lost the race to Jack Marr by quite a margin. As a journalist it is never easy being assigned to cover the person who loses. Most people would rather be present to witness a person's triumph and joy over being a part of one's public defeat. On top of that, our viewers often would rather see victory. So sometimes, and in this case, the limited space in the paper goes to the winner and a photographer's hard work is limited to the web.
Despite the hardships of the night, McKenzie was a joy to spend the evening with. I got to meet a supportive group of family and friends, listen to her mother beam with pride about her daughter when she left the room and read a touching text message that encompassed the spirit of Democracy and competition that her husband sent to the opponent that morning.
I also got to take this photo of McKenzie and her husband, J.P. Hardy, III campaigning in absolutely gorgeous evening light outside of Holy Family Catholic Church.
All in all it was a good election night for me as a photojournalist. I wanted to say thank you to Sandra McKenzie for letting me bother her all day.

Few items are as attractive to a would-be thief as a Smartphone. One Wilson County woman recently found out the hard way when her iPhone was stolen. Tai Hall, a special education teacher, said she was shopping two weeks ago with her mom and sister at Opry Mills Mall when she noticed her iPhone 4 was missing. "My cell phone went missing from my purse," she recalled. "I have an app to track it, so I track it to the middle of the Opry Mills food court. There's a machine that takes cell phones and gives you money. I alerted my phone and I heard it ringing in the machine, so I know it's there."The machine, made by ecoATM, is described by the company's Web site as an automated, consumer, self-serve kiosk that quickly evaluates and buys back used electronics directly from the consumer for cash. The purpose of the machine is to help recycle hundreds of thousands of old cell phones. The Web site states the company has machines locally at the Opry Mills, Rivergate, Stones River and Governors Square malls. According to ecoATM, every cell phone seller must provide a driver's license and a thumb print, which is electronically recorded and made available to police as part of the transaction. Hall, however, said she does not believe the machines are a good idea, especially if anyone can sell phones. "I really want people to know this machine exists and it is awful," she said. "Without the app, I'd never [get my phone] back. I don't like that anyone can pick up a phone, theirs or not, put it in there and immediately get cash." Metro police told Nashville's News 2 Quan Fisher is the man who sold Hall's phone at the kiosk. The 18-year-old is charged with theft of property and was identified as the seller of the device by ecoATM technology. Company officials said they shared all of Fisher's information, which he supplied when he sold the phone, with police working the case. By phone, Nashville's News 2 Investigates spoke with Fisher, who said he is not a thief and that he believes he was conned by a another woman who got him to sell the phone for her by using his fingerprint and identification. "All I did was give my ID and my thumb print and my picture," he said. "I didn't get any money out of it. I thought she was trying to get some money together to buy herself an iPhone. I didn't think it was stolen." Fisher said the woman he helped sell the phone is around 27 years old, five feet, three inches tall and has blond hair with glasses. He added that he didn't know the woman, but she had been hanging around the mall where he worked. "I happened to be dumb. That messed me up. I mean, I made a dumb decision. I am paying the price for it," Fisher said. "I am not a thief. [I've] never stole anything in my life. I have no record. Well, now I do, but I do because of this." Nashville's News 2 Investigates asked Metro police about Fisher's assertion there was another person involved in selling the stolen electronic. Officials in the public information office said Fisher did not raise that concern when he was arrested. By phone, ecoATM told Nashville's News 2 Investigates their company is very law enforcement friendly and they are proactive in working with police all over the country. "One thing we can do is reach out to police," Director of Marketing and Communications Ryan Kuder said. "What we're going to do is be cooperative with police. There are dozens of places in Nashville right now to get cash and sell stolen cell phones and there will be no questions asked." He continued, "But If a thief sells a stolen phone at an ecoATM, they have increased the chances of returning that stolen phone by about 100%. If a stolen phone is found in an ecoATM we give the phone back at our own expense. We are victims, too. We pay the shipping costs and the cost of the phone that we bought."As to why Hall's phone has not been returned to her, Kuder said, "Our machine is an ATM. It has cash. It has phones in it. It is highly secured. It has a lot of security features. You just don't pop them open in mall. It could be a danger, making someone a target."According to Kuder, Americans buy 150 million new phones per year, while many people have five or six old phones lying around at home. He said the goal of ecoATM is to serve as an easy and convenient way for people to recycle their old devices.
He added that the company recycles thousands of phones per day and that one in 1,500 sold phones are reported lost or stolen.

Today's weather forecast: Dreamy
A number of small California cattle ranchers are offering the better part of a steer directly to home cooks. Bulk buying means you can sidestep the odious factory farm supply chain and save about 20 percent on high-quality, sustainably raised meat. But you can't expect to eat the whole thing yourself. Taking a few hints from the virtual pigskin game, you and a few friends can apply a draft system to stock up on meat that will last through the play-offs.
Step 1: Find a CowSanta Ynez Valley rancher John "DeyDey" de Bruin (bestbeefever.com) raises his hormone-free herd on grass. For about $1,500 he'll deliver a half steer butchered into some 170 vacuum-sealed frozen steaks, roasts, ribs, and more.
Step 2: Assemble a LeagueThe more participants, the lower the per-person cost, but your take will be lighter, too. We suggest between 8 and 12 players.
Step 3: Be a ScoutDo your homework. Knowing there's only one hanger steak per cow is your clue to snag it early. And bone up on how to cook the stuff. "A guy tried to return short ribs after he threw them on the grill," says Erika Nakamura of the butcher shop Lindy & Grundy. To avoid mistakes, she suggests reading Deborah Krasner's Good Meat.
Step 4: Set Up the FieldWhen the meat arrives, spread the haul on a large table. Make sure your supplier provides an inventory list and the price of each cut; distribute that info to the league. There will be dozens of packages of ground beef. Set those aside to divvy up later.
Step 5: Know the RulesPick numbers from a hat to determine the draft order. Each player takes turns selecting one cut per round until the meat is gone. At the end the competitors calculate their share of the total cost based on their selections.
Step 6: Kick OffEveryone will reach for the hefty bone-in rib eyes, New York strips, and fillets, but resist the urge to spend your early picks on these blue-chip steaks unless you're ready to pay for them. Make a run on sleepers like skirt or flatiron steaks. Nakamura loves top round, a lean muscle from the hindquarter. "You can cube it and put it in a stew or do a braised chili," she says. "You can also cut it into big honking steaks that can go right on the grill or cook it long and slow like a roast beef. The top round has mileage."
Step 7: Manage Your TeamYou have your meat; now put it in the freezer—the game's not over yet. Say you end up with three osso buco shanks but you're planning a special dinner for four. Time to negotiate a trade. Or challenge one of your rivals to a "burger-off" with all that ground beef. Did you skimp on steaks during the draft? Invite one of your steak-rich pals to a special barbecue, with this caveat: They bring the rib eye; you buy the wine. Everybody wins.

ClearChoice Philosophy
Make quality dental implant treatment more convenient, more timely, and more affordable
At ClearChoice Centers, our objective is to ensure the highest quality of care by not only using specialists to deliver treatment--but to have all the specialists at one location, working together as a team, and supported by modern imaging equipment and an on-site lab.
Dental implants have proven to be a treatment of choice for missing teeth. Compared to traditional bridges and dentures, implant- supported restorations look and function more like natural teeth, provide a more permanent solution, and are generally preferred by patients.
Conventional dental implant treatment approaches are often not patient friendly and are often delivered by a fragmented network of general dentists and specialists, each providing a portion of the implant treatment, but with no one responsible for the totality of care. The patient must often make trips to multiple offices, seek treatment by multiple care providers with extended treatment periods, multiple bills, uncertainty of total costs, and concern about who to call.
In some cases, general dentists have attempted to provide total dental implant care by placing the implants themselves, and doing the full restoration in their own office. However, the reality is that specialists have more training and experience in implant dentistry, and are generally in a better position to handle implant cases, especially difficult ones.
At ClearChoice, quality care is ensured when you have all of your treatment performed by experienced specialists. Oral surgeons with advanced training and residencies in surgery and additional training in anesthesia will ensure that your implants are properly placed, and that you are as comfortable as possible during the procedure. Additionally, their generalized training prepares them to handle the potential complications that may arise during the procedure.
Prosthodontists (dentists who have additional training in the replacement of missing teeth) handle the exams, treatment planning, and actual placement and adjustments of the new teeth. They ensure that the fit and function are perfect, and that your new smile is beautiful.
The ClearChoice model provides complete and comprehensive dental implant treatment services at a single, modern facility. Each ClearChoice Dental Implant Center is a modern, fully equipped facility where all specialists work as a team to provide your dental implant care. The facility includes state-of-the-art dental CAT Scan equipment to give the doctors a full, 3D view of your teeth, jaws, bone condition and nerve locations. This equipment allows ClearChoice doctors to better understand your dental condition, and better plan your treatment.
Each ClearChoice center also has a fully equipped, on-site dental implant laboratory, staffed by master dental technicians. The on-site lab allows ClearChoice to deliver your new teeth immediately following placement of your implants. It also allows ClearChoice to quickly handle any adjustments or repairs that may be necessary over time.
In most cases, ClearChoice can deliver your implants and beautiful new teeth, all in the same day! Traditional implant treatment has been delivered using a multi-stage treatment approach--often with large gaps in time (six months or more) between the implants insertion and new teeth placement. In many cases, patients are left during this time with no teeth, or with an uncomfortable partial or full denture.
ClearChoice is a leader in the application of Immediate Function,™ or single-stage procedures. Clinical studies have proven that, with the right implants and proper placement, new teeth can be placed on the implants immediately after insertion with success rates equal to or better than the traditional multi-stage approach. The result is that, in most cases, ClearChoice patients can have their implants placed and receive their beautiful new teeth, all in the same day. This is possible because of the quality protocols used at ClearChoice, the expertise and experience of our specialists, and our on-site 3D CAT Scanning equipment and dental laboratory.
At ClearChoice Centers, we seek to make dental implant treatment as affordable as possible, with options to fit most budgets. By its nature, dental implant treatment is more costly than less-effective and less-permanent solutions such as bridges and dentures. However, many patients clearly prefer the look, feel, and functionality of dental implants versus other restorative solutions. In many cases, treatment at ClearChoice Centers can cost less than with other providers because of our overall treatment approach:
- Fewer appointments: Because everything is at one location, our treatment protocols often require fewer appointments, thus lowering the overall costs.
- Fewer implants: For full arch restorations, our quality protocols use only four implants, versus the six, eight, or more implants used in other treatment approaches. This lowers the overall cost of treatment, yet is clinically proven to deliver the same or better quality of results.
- Less bone grafting: Most ClearChoice Center protocols, especially the All-on-4 procedure for the full-arch, avoid the need for bone grafts. This approach is less invasive, and generally significantly reduces treatment time and costs.
- One fixed price: Because ClearChoice Centers handle your entire implant treatment at one location, you are given a fixed price, up front, so that you know exactly what your treatment will cost. There are no add-on charges for supplies, lab services, or additional work that may be required to successfully complete your treatment plan.
- Multiple financing options: ClearChoice Centers have solid relationships with multiple healthcare financing companies. Consultants can help you find the right financing option to fit your budget requirements.
- Warranty: ClearChoice Centers will do everything possible to make sure you are completely satisfied with your implant treatment and results. In the rare case where an implant fails (becomes loose) we will replace it at no charge. And if you ever have any problems with your new teeth, you can visit any ClearChoice center across the U.S. to have your teeth adjusted or repaired, usually at no charge.

Doctors at Duke University are changing their approach with overweight patients. Instead of encouraging them to lose, they are encouraging their patients to maintain their weight.
Of all Americans, African American women are at the highest risk for obesity. Despite this, they're not as likely as other overweight people to develop complications like heart disease and diabetes; as long as they do not become morbidly obese.
Now doctors at Duke are encourage overweight black women to maintain their weight and not gain.
"Most of the health risks associated with obesity occur at higher levels of obesity. So if a woman can maintain her weight, and stay at a lower level of obesity, many of those later life health risks will be offset and their risk will be reduced," said Dr. Gary Bennett, Director of the Duke University Obesity Prevention Program.
In a new study, researchers divided nearly 200 overweight black women into two groups. One group was enrolled into Duke's Shape program, where they are given a health coach and a gym membership. The second group met with a doctor to discuss weight loss.
Tonia Johnson was in the Shape program.
"Instead of eating Cheetos and a Pepsi, at work I would buy my vegetable chips and try to drink water,' said Johnson.
Doctors explain that maintain your weight is easier than trying to lose it. You only need to cut 100 to 200 calories a day.
"So that's usually for most people not consuming a bottle of soda or not having a few extra cookies after dinner," Bennett said.
The women in the other group gained about 11 pounds over three years, while a majority of those in the Shape program stayed steady on the scale and sometimes even lost weight.
"I know I lost at least 10 pounds just doing that, and I didn't do anything extra special," Johnson said.
Though this study focused on obese or overweight African American women, researchers say preventing weight gain is important to anyone who is obese.
Researchers are planning additional studies to learn whether maintaining weight can lead to a lower risk for stroke and heart attack.

text: Hungry Girl Lisa Lillien Interview on Diet Tips and Food Network Show It's Not a Diet, It's a Lifestyle: Hungry Girl Shares Her Tips by Leta Shy 8/03/11 7 Reactions 1.6K Shares Print 1.5K 23 84 1 0 Self-proclaimed "foodologist" Lisa Lillien, known as Hungry Girl, knows a thing or two about diet and weight loss; the former Nickelodeon exec built a massive email following by sharing tips on how to eat smart. Since she loves to eat and eat out, we wanted to know: how does she do it? We spoke to Lisa and found out: with careful planning, smart food swaps, and a few skills in the kitchen, you can eat (almost) what you want, and never go hungry. The second season of Hungry Girl's cooking show premieres August 7 on the Food Network, but in the meantime, read on for Lisa's diet and exercise tips that she shared with us! Source: Hungry Girl You're Not Too Busy to Cook What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Sure, it's her job, but Hungry Girl Lisa Lillien also cooks for herself when she's off camera. Her favorite go-to recipes for busy days? An Egg Mug for breakfast (basically egg beaters and low-calorie cheese, and other ingredients microwaved in a coffee mug) and a broccoli slaw "pasta" for dinner like this one she calls Slaw and Order. Source: Hungry Girl 1 / 8 Always Order an Appetizer What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 If you are going out to dinner later, don't forget to plan. "I always look up the menu online before I go. If you can't do that, once you get to the restaurant, scan the menu and look for things in each section that look like good choices." Lisa also recommends ordering a healthy appetizer, like shrimp cocktail, green salad, or a broth-based soup, to cut hunger (but step away from the breadbasket!). As for the entree, "I like to stay with grilled proteins, so whether it's a grilled fish or chicken option, a lot of vegetables, always get double vegetables, and I don't really eat a lot of starches at restaurants," she says. "And I try to get the sauces on the side." Oh, and skip the pasta. "A lot of the pasta dishes when you eat out have three or four servings of pasta, so the calories really add up. And then unidentifiable sauces also could be problem." Source: Thinkstock 2 / 8 Hungry Girl's Pantry Essentials What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Lisa Lillien loves anything that cuts calories and not flavor, and she has a few smart essentials that she always keeps in her pantry: Tofu Shirataki Noodles: "I love pasta but I can't be trusted around pasta, so [these are] an amazing pasta swap — the find of the century." Canned pumpkin: "I love using canned pure pumpkin in a lot of recipes. I make sauces out of it, I put it in oatmeal, I bake with it instead of using eggs or oil. It's really an underutilized ingredient." Almond milk: "I love unsweetened vanilla almond milk, because I like things to taste creamy and skim milk is a little bit too watery. Almond milk is great for cereal, for oatmeal, for smoothies, for shakes, or if you just want to drink it straight. And it has 40 calories for 8 oz." Laughing Cow cheese: "They're just a fantastic cream cheese swap, or you can use them in sauces, or you cook with them, and they [are only] 35 calories each." High-fiber tortillas: "They're my bread swap, instead of having big pieces of bread. You can make burritos out of them, you can turn them into chips, you can make pizzas out of them. They can do a lot." 3 / 8 Find an Exercise Routine That Works What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Lisa Lillien may be known for what she can cook up in the kitchen, but that doesn't mean she slacks off at the gym. She knows the importance of finding the right exercise routine that you'll stick with. For her, that means 30 to 60 minutes of walking or jogging on the treadmill every day, "depending on what's on my TiVo," Lisa says. She also sees a trainer two times a week for strength-training, but don't think she likes it. "I hate it all," she says. "But it is important. When you build your muscles, your metabolism speeds up and then you're burning more calories and it's all good things. I always tell people that they should work out. " Source: Thinkstock 4 / 8 Avoid Your Food Weaknesses What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 When Lisa goes out, she tends to steer clear of things like pizza and fries, but not because she hates them. In fact, her strategy is to never order those unhealthy foods that she does love and wait until she's home to whip up a healthier version later. "Anything that is my favorite weakness food is something that I try to avoid [when out]," Lisa says. Other things she avoids? "You'll never see me eat pasta at a restaurant. I'll never order mashed potatoes. I don't really order sandwiches, because I'm a carboholic and I, in general, avoid those carbs in a big way. " Source: Thinkstock 6 / 8 Navigate the Fast Food Menu What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Sometimes fast food stops are unavoidable. But if you feel like you're powerless to the call of fried food, try Hungry Girl's tips for the next time you pull into a drive-thru. "If I'm really hungry and we're in the car for hours, I'll go to a fast food restaurant, but I usually make my own lunch," Lisa Lillien says. "I'll order the chicken sandwich and then I pull the chicken out and put it on a salad. Or I order the salad that has the chicken but then I get a chicken sandwich and take the chicken breast out of it so I have more protein. I'm always controlling the situation and manipulating it." Source: Flickr User jess was here 6 / 8 Calories Count What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 While your weight loss plan may include many factors, don't forget that "calories do count," Lisa stresses. "And the kind of calories count as well. I am not saying that it doesn't matter where the calories come from at all, but calories do count and some people don't believe that. They say, 'well as long as I'm making choices and I'm eating all natural, organic whole foods then it doesn't matter how many calories I'm taking.' And that's definitely not true." To keep track of those calories, Lisa keeps a notes in a draft email in her inbox, and at the end of the day figures out roughly how much she's had. This helps her plan her meals better. "I think that the most successful people, if they're trying to lose or even maintain weight, are people that can think ahead. If you know you're going out to dinner, and you know you want to make certain choices that night, alter how you eat throughout the day. Don't starve yourself, but don't make the bad choices during the day if you know you want to splurge a little at dinner." Source: Thinkstock 7 / 8 Indulge Wisely What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 "I live by the 80/20 rule," Lisa says. "80 percent of the choices I make are good, and 20 percent of the choices I make are not as good." When she does indulge, Hungry Girl Lisa is wise about it. One of her favorite strategies is to share dessert, or order a healthy dinner and taste her fellow companions' more indulgent fare. "I will always order the healthier thing, the better choice, but I might pick if somebody offers me a bite," she says.

2010 Old Vine Zinfandel • Mendocino
This old vine zinfandel showcases the classic aromas and flavors from the coastal influenced vineyards of Mendocino. Bright flavors are brought out by crisp acidity and red fruits. Brimming red cherries and vanilla bean dance in the nose upon entry while the palate enjoys the lengthy finish.
The Winemaking
This Zinfandel is barrel aged from once used American oak previous home to our Chardonnay. The grapes were cold soaked 5 days prior to open top fermentation then punched down 4 times daily for 21 days.
The Vineyard
We source this Zinfandel from our good friends the Johnson's up in Mendocino County. It is a great vineyard with old vines that bring the intense flavors and
The Vintage
The 2010 Vintage was long and cool and was noted by most as a very advantageous vintage for Northern California. The vintage kept the brix in check while fruit flavors and esters matured.
