Robles developed a simple website and Facebook page, but mostly relied on word of mouth to attract ecotourists and hunters. He spelled out his vision in a brochure filled with photos of wildlife and people in workshops. "We pursue to create an ecological paradise, but we are also committed with the community," the brochure says. "We seek to be a leading example for the world's conservation practices, instilling in people the ecological values to help them learn how to live in balance with nature, and set up the perfect environment for research projects. We aim to establish a sustainable model that protects biodiversity, supports other landowners, teaches and helps the community."
For several years in the 2000s, Robles' hunting and ecotourism business drew increasing numbers of customers. They stay in La Casona, or the big house, a brick-and-cement ranch compound built in the 1960s that can accommodate 15 people comfortably -- and up to 35, if some are willing to sleep outdoors. Virtually all of his customers have come from the U.S.
Two hunters from the Phoenix, Ariz., area are regular customers, paying $4,500 each to bag Coues white-tailed deer. They say they were attracted by the ranch's spectacular beauty as well as by its deer, which they describe as healthier than those on most Arizona lands. "There is a very important pride of ownership in this property -- you can tell whenever you see Carlos and listen to him speak about his land and his dreams for the ranch," says Joe Del Re of Chandler. Robles' conservative harvest quota and grazing management allow many deer to reach trophy class, says the other hunter, Charles Kelly of Scottsdale.
Tom Wood of the Southeastern Arizona Bird Observatory says he's taken birdwatchers from all over the country to Aribabi to glimpse gray hawks and green kingfishers -- birds that are much rarer in the U.S. A single birdwatcher staying at Aribabi pays $89 for one night and about $350 a week, including meals; couples and larger groups pay less per person.
But starting around 2008, Robles says, his income from ecotourism and hunting plunged 60 percent. Customers from the U.S. are increasingly fearful of being caught in the cartel violence; according to Wood and hunters Kelly and Del Re, that's a larger factor than the generally sagging economy. All three say they've seen no safety problems near Aribabi. But Wood, who has not led a birding trip to Aribabi in more than two years, says, "Until people feel comfortable traveling in Mexico again, it will be kind of hard to make a living in ecotourism."
Three longtime birdwatching guides who work in Sonora and other parts of Mexico -- Borderlands Tours and High Lonesome Tours, both based in Arizona, and Solipaso in Alamos, Sonora -- say they've also seen a major dropoff in ecotourism due to fears of violence. Mexico has been a mainstay for 25 years for Borderlands owner Rick Taylor, but in 2011, for probably the first time, he didn't run a Mexico tour, he says. He cancelled seven tours to Chiapas, Veracruz, Oaxaca and San Blas, among other places, after getting only a handful of inquiries.
Most of the cartel violence -- the headline-making decapitations and machine-gun shootouts -- occurs many miles away from Robles' ranch, in cities hugging the border, especially Juárez (across the river from El Paso, Texas) and eastward. And most of the victims are cartel members, law enforcement or immigrants headed for the U.S. -- an increasing sideline for the cartels. Even so, the average murder rates in Sonora and Chihuahua are higher than in Arizona, the Arizona Republic reported recently.
In February, the U.S. State Department issued the latest in a series of warnings to U.S. tourists, reporting that the cartels killed nearly 13,000 people in the first nine months of 2011 alone. "While most of those killed in narcotics-related violence have been members of (cartels), innocent persons have also been killed. The number of U.S. citizens reported to the Department of State as murdered in Mexico increased from 35 in 2007 to 120 in 2011. ... U.S. citizens have fallen victim to ... homicide, gun battles, kidnapping ... Carjacking and highway robbery are serious problems in many parts of the border region and U.S. citizens have been murdered in such incidents. ... In addition, local police have been implicated in some of these incidents." Few of the 150,000 U.S. citizens who cross the border on an average day are targeted, but nevertheless, the State Department warned: "You should defer non-essential travel" in Chihuahua and parts of Sonora and Baja.
Warnings like that, and sensationalized U.S. news stories, have whipped up fears even in places in Mexico that are not gripped by violence. "Americans are scaredy-cats -- now they're worried that a ricocheting bullet from the border south of Texas might hit them 1,000 miles south of Tucson," Taylor says. "Sure, a mass execution is a horrible thing. But who are the victims? They are El Salvadoran and Guatemalan immigrants (or cartel soldiers). We provide the market (for the cartels' drugs and immigrant workers), we provide the weapons (guns from U.S. sellers), and we provide the media attention when drug cartels do anything awful."
For Solipaso, fears of violence have reduced hotel reservations by 50 percent in the past two years and birdwatching by 25 percent, says Jennifer MacKay, who has run the business with her husband, David, for 12 years. "I get so many emails from (potential) visitors, asking, 'Is it safe?' " says MacKay. "We have guests who travel all over with my husband and then come here for a couple of nights and find out it is totally fine and (the danger has been) blown out of proportion."

Wild Rice with Celery Stuffed Cornish Hens Recipe
Stuffed with a succulent combination of wild rice, mushrooms and dried cranberries these golden hens are sure to become a special-occasion entree in your home. "They're a wonderful change of pace from traditional turkey," writes Nancy Horsburgh of Everett, Ontario.
- 1/2 cup chopped celery
- 1/4 cup sliced fresh mushrooms
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 package (6 ounces) fast-cooking long grain and wild rice mix
- 1 can (14-1/2 ounces) reduced-sodium chicken broth
- 1/4 cup water
- 2/3 cup sliced water chestnuts, chopped
- 1/2 cup dried cranberries
- 1/2 cup chopped green onions
- 2 tablespoons reduced-sodium soy sauce
- 5 Cornish game hens (20 to 24 ounces each)
- In a large saucepan coated with cooking spray, cook celery and mushrooms in butter until tender. Stir in rice; cook 1 minute longer. Stir in the contents of the rice seasoning packet, broth and water. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; cover and simmer for 5-6 minutes or until rice is tender. Stir in the water chestnuts, cranberries, onions and soy sauce. Stuff into hens.
- Place on a rack in a shallow roasting pan. Bake at 375° for 50-60 minutes or until juices run clear and a meat thermometer inserted into stuffing reads 165°. Cut each hen in half lengthwise to serve. Yield: 10 servings.

Illogical plan
EDITOR: I'm hopeful you've received a deluge of outraged mail in response to the Dec. 1 article about the U.S. Fish and Wildlife's plan to poison mice on the Farallones.
Where is the logic in killing one creature to save another? The dangers to ashy storm-petrels seem more the result of man-made threats such as global warming and pollution than natural predation.
How does the loss of 100 birds to owls out of a colony of 10,000 result in population decrease? It's not just whether the problem requires management; it's the obscenity of the scorched-earth method being suggested. This is an incomparably important ecosystem. To resort to aerial poisoning before other options are even attempted is ludicrous.
Also, there seems to be a lot of conjecture in the hoped-for outcome. What if the owls decide the baby petrels will do just fine once the mice are gone?
And why the concern at all from the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service when it won't grant endangered-species status to the petrel?
Killing is counter to the concept of environmental action. It is our duty to manage in a responsible way, which the current proposal is not.
San Jose
Enough mud-slinging
EDITOR: What never ceases to amaze me about letters regarding Israel/Palestine is the lack of sensitivity to others and the repeated use of inaccurate propagandistic buzz words best suited to the state-sponsored news media of a Third World dictatorship.
It is foolish to deny that Israel has continued to build in a manner internationally recognized as illegal, while also detaining minors and treating Palestinians poorly. It is foolish to deny that violent terrorist acts have been and continue to be perpetrated by Palestinians and their sympathizers.
The recent passing of Nelson Mandela, a man who initially used violent resistance before transitioning to more peaceful means, should be a reminder of the possibility of solving seemingly intractable quandaries. The success of the South African Truth and Reconciliation Committee show that the path to reconciliation is not through forced capitulation but dialogue.

When Manchester City capitulated at the Bernabeu last night, it was a fair result based upon the balance of play, but odd that a team who seemed to have found their rhythm suddenly descended into chaos in the latter stages. Joe Hart was quick to speak out about his team's mentality, but City were all over the place, and it was partly due to some very odd decisions by Roberto Mancini.
The decision to switch to three centre-backs was a particularly baffling one. Other than the obvious dangers of completely changing a defensive system in the middle of a fierce away game, sowing confusion in their defensive ranks, there were other errors with the plan. When City needed to be closing down as much of the space on the pitch as possible, they ceded the flanks to Real Madrid, allowing them to progress unhindered to the City area, badly exposing their defence against Cristiano Ronaldo and Angel Di Maria, and eventually crumbling under the pressure.
Mancini seems determined to enforce a three-at-the-back system upon Manchester City that is entirely unsuited to them for a plethora of reasons. It is highly debatable as to whether it is a good match for the players Mancini has at his disposal: Firstly, their two first-choice centre-backs are overwhelmingly superior to their third and fourth, meaning that City simply cannot field their best eleven players with such a system. Secondly, Pablo Zabaleta lacks the athleticism to operate in a wing-back role, while there are also doubts over the abilities of Clichy and the ageing Maicon to do so.
Even more importantly, it is a plan which is unlikely to bear fruit in the two competitions Manchester City are competing for. A system that has such an obvious weakness out wide is unlikely to prosper in the Premier League, with its ubiquitous width and wingers. It is equally ill-suited to tight Champions League matches, where it concedes the opportunity to shut down opposition dangermen who play out wide. No team has progressed very far in the Champions League for quite some time with such a formation, and indeed Mancini's rival Alex Ferguson enjoyed a remarkable run of punching well above his weight in the Champions League with Manchester United by deploying a system that was the polar opposite, with defensively-minded wingers ahead of his full-backs.
City were not broke before Mancini began to attempt to fix them, but they still could've done with a tune-up. Amidst the euphoria of last season's title victory, it cannot be overstated that it was a far closer race then it ever should have been, and a difficult group was no excuse for such outright failure in Europe. Both problems had the same root cause: City had deployed power and fluidity at the expense of discipline and control, which was enough to overrun most teams in the division but could be sussed out in more tense situations by cannier teams. City's negativity cost them in 2010-11, and when the likes of Yaya Toure were let off the leash in 2012, the rewards were obvious. Regardless, Mancini seems determined to revert back to his defensively-minded ways, as evidenced by his team selection last night which, for the first half at least, gave no sign that they had any intention or desire to win the game.
The back three is an odd infatuation - the number teams that have done well at a reasonably high level with such a system in recent years are few. Napoli, Benfica, and Chile are all examples, but all of those also featured additional wide players ahead of their wingbacks who could provide good defensive cover. In other words, it was a good system for the players available to them. Mancini's wide-men are far less-suited to such a role, with David Silva and Samir Nasri both preferring to cut inside and possessing neither the desire nor the capability to defend competently from the front.
Instead of this bizarre tinkering, Manchester City's evolution this season ought to have been summed up by the replacement of Nigel de Jong with Javi Garcia - a more cerebral, disciplined and thoughtful approach to the same job. City are a title-winning team and should be comfortably ahead of their rivals on the domestic stage once again, and they need a back three like they need a hole in the head. To attempt such wholesale changes seems a needless risk, let alone to a system which is so unsuitable that it might as well have been dreamed up by Sir Alex Ferguson in an act of sabotage. Mancini is ceding ground to City's rivals in the name of an experiment which is unlikely to reap any rewards - if he does not check himself, he could end up throwing away last season's good work.

CATEGORIES Action, Comedy, Casting, Universal, Scripts, DIY/Filmmaking, Newsstand, Comic/Superhero/Geek, Movies, CinematicalIt's been about four years since we last had anything to report on Universal's adaptation of R.I.P.D. David Dobkin was in the director's chair, Matt Manfredi and Phil Hay penned the script, and it's just been kicking around, forgotten by all in the movie reporting business. But Collider got the scoop that the film is moving into production as soon as January 2011, and has Ryan Reynolds attached to star.
R.I.P.D. is the tongue-twisting acronym of the Rest In Peace Department, an otherworldly police department whose only purpose is keeping the dead quiet, happy, and in line. The story centers around Nick Cruz (played by Reynolds), a cop who was murdered in the prime of his life. He agrees to serve 100 years with the R.I.P.D. if they'll help him find his killer. His partner on the beat is a former gunslinger (yet to be cast), and I imagine things get awkward when you've got nothing in common but being dead. Sadly, all else on this little Dark Horse series seems to have disappeared, so hopefully, some fans can pipe up with more story details.
"[It's a] terrific script. Great buddy comedy." says producer Neal Moritz. "It's a fantastic relationship between a cop who's recently died who would do anything to get back to his wife, and a gunslinger who died hundreds of years ago who has seen it all and is jaded by it all. It's the two of these guys together and it's the relationship between these two guys that is absolutely fantastic." Sounds like it could be fun, and it's another nice notch on Reynolds' comic book belt. Someday, he and Chris Evans will have to fight to be King of Adaptations. It will be epic. They can make a graphic novel of it, and then adapt it.

COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) -- A Columbus oil recycling company accused of exceeding air pollution limits has reached a settlement with the state to resolve the case.
Heartland Refinery Group was accused of releasing uncontrolled emissions and creating a substantial odor nuisance in a neighborhood.
Ohio Attorney General Mike DeWine says the refinery must implement previously ordered improvements and a system to notify nearby businesses and safety forces about events at the facility on the city's east side.
The agreement also requires the company to pay a $280,000 civil penalty. Some of that money will go toward a fund used to retrofit old school buses with equipment to control emissions and reduce pollution.
A message was left Wednesday with an attorney for the company.

Comments about Bed Support Rails - Set Of 6:
Installed on twin beds at a Bible Conference grounds in PA to prevent the box spring from slipping off the rails. Worked perfectly and I gave Walter Drake's information to the director's assistant. We plan to take some with us this year if we are in a diffrent room and the box spring drops off the rails. Easy fix!!

love product but slips on small wood frames make wider some wood frames are more narrower some wider. please change size so i can order again. have to set them because they slip my frame is narrower.
product for wood rails didn't fit.
By Donna
from Holden, MA
This is a great idea, but this item didn't fit my antique wooden side bed rails. The width of the part that fits over the rails is not shown on the website, but measures approx 1" and my bed rails are slightly wider at approx 1 1/2". Too bad they couldn't make these slightly wider so they would be useful to more people. It's not cost effective to return them, so I lost out on this item. Darn.
Finally--a solution!
By Janet Elaine Smith, multi-genre author
from Northeast Wisconsin
For several years, the slats on my bed would eventually slide enough that one of them at any time might fall onto the floor during the night. I was so excited when I saw these bed rail clamps. I ordered them at once. I have had them in place for over two weeks, and they are as safe and secure as when I first put them in. Finally, I can get a good night's sleep without a worry in the world.

I bought these to replace the wood slats on a very old wood bed frame. I wasn't sure if one set of 6 would be enough to support the weight of a full size mattress and box spring AND a full size sleeper, but one set do the job quite well, maybe even better than the old slats.
These are great-easy to install

Solomon Admendment Information
NALP's Solomon Amendment Task Force provides the following links and information to help educate all of NALP's members on the issues surrounding this topic.
In the fall of 1993 President Clinton announced (and then Congress later codified) the "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" policy. This policy is a practical ban on gay men, lesbians and bisexuals serving in the military, and is similar to the policies banning service by such individuals that have been in place for the past fifty years. The prohibition is not conduct related, and an honest statement by a service member of his or her sexual orientation to anyone, anywhere, anytime may lead to discharge from the armed services.
Following the implementation of this policy, colleges and universities began to more broadly prohibit the military from recruiting on campus, and momentum grew for also preventing campus access to ROTC programs.
AALS bylaws require its member schools to have a non-discrimination clause that includes sexual orientation, and further require that a school's facilities only be made available to employers whose practices are consistent with the AALS statement of equal opportunity.
At that time, AALS policy required its member law schools to ban military recruiting unless the schools fit under one of several narrow exceptions (some religious schools, for instance).
The first incarnation of the Solomon Amendment (Solomon I ) was enacted in 1995 as part of the National Defense Authorization Act. This legislation denied Department of Defense funding to colleges and universities that barred ROTC or military recruitment access.
The second incarnation of the Solomon Amendment (Solomon II) was enacted in 1997 as part of the Omnibus Appropriation Act. This legislation dramatically extended the reach of Solomon by including in the list of at-risk funds all monies from the Departments of Labor, Health and Human Services, and Education. This change swept most federal research and financial aid monies into the pool of threatened funds.
The Frank-Campbell Amendment was enacted in October 1999. This amendment protected student financial assistance by removing these funds from the list of at-risk monies.
The Solomon legislation was also recodified in 1999, and in that process the subunit rule was eliminated. Previously, if the law school denied the military access, only the subunit of the law school was at risk of losing funds. After recodification, if the law school denied the military access, the entire university could lose federal funding. Recodification also extended the affected funds to monies from the Department of Transportation.
The AALS response to the Solomon situation has been to require its member schools that are forced to allow the military on campus to take ameliorative actions which can include various outreach and services to GLBT students. Many schools use the military presence on campus to stage educational programs and/or protests.
Military recruiters have demanded equal access on campus (i.e., not alternative interviewing space), and have stepped up their issuance of letters of inquiry challenging law school policies and procedures. Many schools perceive this as deliberate intimidation.
Four lawsuits are currently pending that raise constitutional challenges to various aspects of the Solomon legislative scheme, including the FAIR (Forum for Academic and Institutional Rights) litigation. FAIR is an association of law schools and other academic institutions.
On March 30, 2004, the House of Representatives approved, by a vote of 343-to-81, a bill strengthening the Solomon Amendment. Sponsored by Rep. Mike Rogers (R-AL), HR 3966, called the ROTC Military Recruiter Equal Access to Campus Act, clarifies the existing Solomon Amendment by explicitly stating that military recruiters must have the same access to students as other employers, and it stiffens the penalties for noncompliance by adding two new defense-related agencies which may withhold funding. The bill was first approved by the House Armed Services Committee on March 17, 2004.
In June 2004, NALP's Board of Directors created the Solomon Amendment Task Force, which was charged with educating all NALP members about the issues surrounding the Solomon Amendment.
In November 2004, in FAIR v. Rumsfeld, a suit brought by an association of 30 law schools and law faculties, the U.S. Third Circuit Court of Appeals ruled that law schools could ban the military from campus, concluding that the Solomon Amendment violates the schools' First Amendment Rights.
In January, 2005, in Burt v. Rumsfeld, a suit brought by members of the Yale Law School faculty, a federal district court in Connecticut also declared the Solomon Amendment unconstitutional under the First Amendment.
On May 2, 2005, the United States Supreme Court granted certiorari in FAIR v. Rumsfeld. Oral arguments are scheduled for October 2005, and a ruling is expected before the end of June 2006.

A close friend has been going through some stressful times lately. The other day she mentioned that she could use some sunshine in her day. That set my thoughts in motion, so I made up this little mug rug for her and filled it with sunshine and a pretty cup. Then I rolled the mug rug. tucked it into a real cup, and gave it to her. I was so pleased to see a smile light up her face for a change!
The pattern for this mug rug contains 3 pages of instructions, one page with a full size layout of the pattern, one page of templates, and a page of the foundation paper for the background.
If you have any questions or comments, please send an email to me at: email@example.com.
I would love to see photos of your completed work in the completed projects section of this pattern page.
Since retiring from my teaching career I've discovered that there is life outside of the classroom! I spend parts of most of my days indulging in my favorite hobbies of quilting and sewing.

Getting Started with Whole Foods and Macrobiotic Cooking
The Dirty Dozen and The Fresh Fifteen
To be, or not to be? Organic, or not organic? Some fruits and vegetables are traditionally very low in pesticides and can be purchased from a "conventionally grown" source. Others, like berries and apples and greens, are particularly vulnerable to poisons. What should you buy organic? What is safe from a conventional grower?
The Foods of Fall: Local, Seasonal Whole Foods Recipes
Autumn means apples, pears, squash, pumpkins, mushrooms, brussels sprouts, root veggies and what we call "earth colors": yellows, oranges, reds and browns are abundant in the plant kingdom this time of year. The following are recipes for this wonderfully earthy time of year. Happy cooking!
Seasonal Cleansing: Preparing Our Bodies for Transition
As each season shifts into the next, we can support our bodies by gently cleansing our energetic pathways. Blood, digestion, elimination all need attention, much in the same way we tune up our cars, change the oil, and ensure that all the fluids are adequate.
Genetically Modified Organisms: What is GMO Food Doing to Us?
As a holistic nutritionist I have been struck by the radical increase in immune, gastrointestinal, and fertility issues that seemingly healthy people are presenting in my office. Over and over again I have educated clients that "convenience" in food has a very high price tag attached to it, and that ultimately the cost of local and organic food...
Navigating the Holiday Food Circuit:
The average American consumes an extra 600 calories per day between Thanksgiving and New Year's, which can translate into pounds and inches. By the time 5 weeks pass, we have effectively created new -and unhealthy- eating habits, and are faced with an uphill climb to undo the damage. So what might happen if we decided to "pick our poison"?
The GMO Maelstrom of 2011
In the maelstrom of activity surrounding the Organic Consumer Alliance's (OCA) incendiary accusation that the CEOs of Whole Foods (WF), Stonyfield Farm and Organic Valley (OV) collectively caved in to Monsanto, I received communications from both Organic Valley and Stonyfield Farms asking for fair airtime on their side of the story.
The Evolving Paleo Diet
The paleo diet is nothing new. In some form or another, it's been around for about 200,000 years as humans existed in a nomadic, hunter-gatherer manner. Pre-agricultural humans ate animal food, roots, wild plants, nuts and seeds. Fruits were an occasional food; present in the diet, they occupied a minority space based on seasonal gathering and drying.
The Five Elements: The Water or Kidney Element
Winter governs the water element, or Zhi. It is the dormant season, when all life force burrows deep in the bosom of the earth. It is a gestational time of replenishing the wellspring of life so that when spring comes, the gathering energy will burst forth with new growth.
Vegan Egg Substitutes and Replacers
Many of my clients have asked for alternatives to egg and dairy for baking projects, and egg substitutions top the list. Different recipes require various approaches; not all substitutes work interchangeably. Some replacements work for cookies and bars, others are good for the lighter batters of cakes and quick breads. Still others can also...

A Whole Foods Diet: The Why and The How
Moving towards a whole foods diet, and learning about whole foods cooking are two crucial steps towards creating -and maintaining- our long term health.
The 5 Elements: The Wood or Liver Element
Spring marks a miraculous bursting of energy and carries with it the energy of wood. Sap, which is nature's lifeblood, courses through the trees; new life pushes its way up from the depths of the earth, and we are surrounded by a bright sense of renewal and creativity.
Whole Foods Cooking, Recipes, and Tips
This section is made up of "new macrobiotic" and whole foods recipes that do not fall under strict macrobiotic guidelines. Recipes may include animal foods such as fish, organic poultry or lamb; dairy products; eggs; and a few special occasion desserts involving chocolate! It is geared for those people who would like a more "flexitarian" approach to their food while still striving for a h…
More On Cheap Eats: Stretching Your Whole Foods Dollar
I've done quite a bit of writing on eating a whole foods diet economically. Will we spend more than we would in a standard supermarket? Perhaps yes, because in theory the cost of producing many sustainably grown ingredients is higher. Yet if we look at the carbon footprint of shipping food half way around the world, the story begins to shift.
Macrobiotic and Whole Foods Cooking: What's the Difference?
All macrobiotic cooking can be considered whole food, but not all whole food is macrobiotic. What are the differences? How are macrobiotic and whole foods cooking similar? How can we adapt a standard Western diet to one -or both- of these lifestyles?
The Basics
This section is geared for beginners who have little or no experience with macrobiotics and who would like to explore how it can be adapted to their current lifestyle. We'll cover basic guidelines, a glossary, recommended cooking tools, and explore ingredients.
The Five Elements: The Fire or Heart Element
During the summer months, nature is at its most expansive, abundant manifestation. The sun is at its highest, food is plentiful, and all plant life is full of vital life force. Taoist five element theory teaches us that the element of summer is fire.
Back to School and Back to Work Lunches: The Macro Bowl
This mean, clean and green macro bowl is a vegan, gluten free, dairy free meal and perfect for a macrobiotic diet or for someone who wants a simple and effective style of eating. The simplicity of this protocol is excellent for a gentle cleanse, and gives the body the opportunity to rest and heal.
Stanford University Study: Organic vs Conventional
This week the NY Times, along with a number of other newspapers, published an article referencing a Stanford University Department of Medicine study which states that organic food has "no obvious health benefits" over conventional produce and meats. By presenting conventional produce as a safe and equal brother to organic, Stanford is...
Whole Foods, Big Organic and Big Business
The question of GMOs (genetically modified organisms) is reaching a fevered pitch, as Election Day –and a vote on Prop 37- approach. While large corporations invest millions to keep GMOs in our food supply, citizens and organic foods advocates push back, demanding our right to know what is in our food. As I wrote last year in my editorial...
The "New" Macrobiotics
Amongst people who have explored macrobiotic lifestyle there is a growing movement away from the traditional Japanese model. Some have tried the model and not thrived on it. Many others have expressed a desire for food that is more adapted to an ethnically diverse palate, and which includes the bounties of native agriculture.
About Water
Macrobiotic theory has a very clear stance concerning water, whether it is used for drinking, bathing, or cooking. When we are helping our bodies to heal, or when we are focused on preventive care, the quality of the water we consume is critical.
Glorious Grains
Major consumption of whole grains is the bedrock of a macrobiotic diet. Brown rice is a primary traditional macrobiotic food, but when we look at the spectrum of grains available to us we find a kaleidoscope of flavors, textures and colors.
The Food Hangover
One of the challenges of cleaning up your diet is the increased sensitivity you experience when you eat the wrong thing. The more oriented towards a whole foods diet we become, the more we will notice a reaction when we eat commercial, chemically altered food.

To Supplement or Not to Supplement: Navigating A Trillion Dollar Industry
Clients often ask what I recommend in terms of vitamins and supplements, and there is no quick and easy answer to that question.

BPA: Bisphenol A, The Plastic Poison
BPA is a toxic chemical contained in plastics used to line aluminum cans and in hard clear polycarbonate plastic containers.

She would preserve them, bottling them naked with a few sprigs of basil or...
The Five Elements: Earth or Yi
The Earth Element or Yi falls in late summer, and lasts from August 21 until the fall equinox of September 21.

A New Year's Message
The days surrounding the winter solstice and going towards the New Year are a time of sadness and hope, death and rebirth for me. The veil between worlds is gossamer thin, and a reminder of how precious and sacred life is.
Almost Famous Chef Competition 2013: A Dream Come True for Kristen Thibeault
Chef Kristen Thibeault, owner of Kombu Kitchen in Boston, won the Napa Valley finals of the Almost Famous Chef Competition on March 10. The competition, now in its 11th year, wrapped up at the Greystone CIA in St Helena, California.
Autumn Harvest: Celebrating Community and the Fall Equinox
For a brief moment in late September, the Earth spins upright relative to the sun before beginning its tilt away for the fall and winter months. This is the moment of the equinox, and it closely follows the Harvest Moon (the full moon of September). As we do each year, my town in Southern California celebrated the harvest with a beautiful gathering.

pipeline break
<architecture> (Or "pipeline stall") The delay caused on a processor using pipelines when a transfer of control is taken. Normally when a control-transfer instruction (a branch, conditional branch, call or trap) is taken, any following instructions which have been loaded into the processor's pipeline must be discarded or "flushed" and new instructions loaded from the branch destination. This introduces a delay before the processor can resume execution.
"Delayed control-transfer" is a technique used to reduce this effect.

Cook OUT!
How does this happen? How do I do this to myself? As of this morning, I think I've got 20 friends within wandering distance of my house descending upon it tomorrow afternoon, which always sounds like such a super-duper idea in theory on holiday summer weekends—you know how this goes: "Oh, hey, are you guys around? We are, too! Why don't you come over…" until it's the day before, the guest list has swelled from an intimate grill session for four to a cook-out for dozens, my house is a mess, and I've got a 'fridge full o' nuthin' with which to feed them all. Yipes! Help!
Lucky for me, I have the secret Bat Cave number for Ted and Matt Lee, the sweet, talented, awesome South Carolina–born brother team who know a thing or two about putting out phenomenal, fresh food in a great, casual party setting without breaking a sweat (or, well, you know, making it look like you didn't break too much of one, anyway).
Homesick and wishing that they could get good southern staples in the months they spent in NYC away from their Charleston home, the wonderful, amiable Lee brothers started a mail-order business called Boiled Peanuts, where homegrown fixes like hominy, pickles and preserves, stone-ground grits, Royal Crown cola, and even boiled peanuts could be procured for displaced and yearning southerners, or even Yankees like me (and you?!) who dig that stuff. And then there was the Beard-award winning book Lee Bros. Southern Cookbook, and the column-writing for Martha Stewart Living magazine, and the New York Times dining section stories, and all other venerable spots where the brothers Lee bestow their south of the Mason-Dixon culinary wisdom (and then some).
So what did they tell me to do after I dashed off an email to Ted in a sweaty, pre-party panic? The following simple and smart words of wisdom:
1. Chill Out. "Cold salads rock with grilled foods, and can be made ahead. Bean salads and chopped salads are great for cookouts (leafy salads tend to wilt in the heat), and they actually benefit, flavor-wise, from marinating for a day before showtime. They tend to be very easy to eat—they stick to the fork while you're tottering around. And they sure are simple to prepare, which is particularly good when potlucking—even your most cooking-phobic friends can be assigned to toss together a cold salad with great results."
2. Have Spoon, Will Stir. "Make the beverage station self-serve for all ages by concocting several pitchers of infused syrup (mint is an obvious one) or a juice blend (orange with cranberry, ditto) that performs double duty as a soda flavoring and a cocktail mixer."
3. All Hands on Spatula. "An extra grill-gal or guy! We always invite someone to an outdoor party who we know really loves to grill, and can take over the tongs in a pinch."
Great advice, right? Now I don't feel so totally freaked out. I've got a list in hand and I'm about to head out to Ye Olde Costco, but before I do, let me share with you all the great Green Goddess Potato Salad recipe from the Lee's new book, The Lee Bros. Simple Fresh Southern. There's a lot to love in these pages, and I guarantee by the end of tomorrow, they will be splattered and splashed and made very good use of, by gum. I might even try my hand at their cool, exotically spiced Rice Pudding Pops—how fun would that be? And super easy to do ahead of time, too, which is pretty much what this fresh-flavors book is about. Eat well, have fun, and by all means—invite people over. After all, the best meals are always, always shared.
Have a great, great weekend everybody!
Green Goddess Potato Salad a la Lee Brothers
Serves 4, 25 minutes prep; 15 minutes resting
(obviously, double or triple if you've got a bigger crew coming)
- 2 TBSP plus 1 tsp kosher salt, plus more to taste
- 2 1/2 lbs small red potatoes, peeled and cut into quarters
- 1/2 cup high-quality store-bought mayonnaise, such a Hellman's or Duke's
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 1/2 cup finely chopped scallions (white and green parts)
- 1/2 cup finely chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
- 2 TBSP finely chopped fresh tarragon
- 2 anchovy fillets, minced or 1/2 tsp anchovy paste (optional)
- 1 TBSP white wine vinegar or champagne vinegar
- 1 TBSP fresh lime juice
- 1/2 tsp freshly ground black pepper, plus more to taste
1. Fill a 4-quart stockpot half full with water, add 2 tablespoons of the salt and the potatoes, cover, and bring to a boil over high heat. Cook until just fork-tender but cooked through, 6 to 7 minutes.
2. While the potatoes cook, mix the mayonnaise, sour cream, scallions, parsley, tarragon, anchovies (if desired), vinegar, lime juice, remaining 1 teaspoon salt, and the black pepper together in a large bowl.
3. Drain the potatoes well and add them to the bowl; toss with the dressing. Season to taste with salt and black pepper. Let stand for 15 minutes at room temperature (as the salad loses its heat, it will absorb the dressing). Serve at room temperature, or cover and refrigerate for up to 2 days before serving.

3.88/5 rDev +2.9%
This is my 2nd time to taste the bottle-conditioned version. BB 15/04/09, served cool in a straight imperial pint glass.
A: bright dark-orangey golden, topped with a pillowy off-white head with decent retention; carbonation comes moderate, mixed of large and tiny bubbles. Slightly murky due to the yeast sediment, but overall looking very healthy.
S: tangerine, light caramel and longan-fruits, and a touch of prune are blended very well; a touch of yeastiness at the back goes with semi-fragrant hops and a deeper layer of biscuity malts and residual sugar-ness. Overall, quite juicy and fruity with more hops than malts on the balance, showing signs of US fragrant hops like Cascade as well as English Goldings. But the more I sniff it, the sweeter it gets.
T: juicy citric hop, thick-honey-ish malts, and leather-ish+phenolic yeastiness with a spicy kick combine to dominate the foretaste; quickly evolving towards a deepening impact of chewy-bitter and dry-ish aftertaste of hop fragrance, longan-fruit's undertone, licorice-like bitter-sweet herbal flavour...also constantly chewy on the mouthfeel, while a light wave of alc. is radiated in the very end.
M&D: soft in carbonation, very smooth and lubricating in a sense; while it's just medium-bodied for the flavour profile, the malt backbone provides the gravity for the flavoursome hops to dance freely. This bottle shows very decent bottle-conditioning, a world apart from my last bottle of this very same ale and also many previous Hampshire bottled brews. A tasty English IPA overall!
Tasting Date: 04/01/06.
BB 21/10/06. Served cool in a goblet.
3.5 A: very light amber hue with some chill haze; the beer head is loosely-formed and fluffy, against a very gently-carbonated body.
2.5 S: sourly-sweet fruity note dominating the nose, consisting of prunes, star-fruits, fermented pear juice, a lightly stinky note of scrumpy cider, and faintly citric aroma. The maltiness is overpowered by the sour fruitiness of hops. Overall off-balance--a bit weird...
2 T: gosh... it tastes like this beer is almost off!! Sour and thin maltiness on top of a soapy and damp flavour of... hops(?). The balance is lost as the sourness simply is too strong for a beer in reasonable health, and the aftertaste only avoids further humiliation by retaining some bitterness...
1.5 M&1.5 D: thin on the mouthfeel and no body at presence at all. I'm quite sure there's something wrong with the handling process of this beer but I feel obliged to record how I feel about it anyway. I'm angry about this beer right now, even more angry than bumping into a not-so-fresh barrel of real ale at my local pub!! Darn!

3.88/5 rDev +2.9%
Appearance: orange-copper, slight haze, frothy off-white foam, OK head retention
Aroma: orange marmalade, iron, soap, caramel
Flavor: balanced malt sweetness; grassy hop flavor with hints of orange peel, mold, and leather; finishes semi-dry with a scrumptious, smooth grapefruit bitterness
Mouthfeel: medium body, terse carbonation, slight astringency
Other comments: A very tasty, balanced IPA with an American IPA aroma, but not an American IPA flavor/bitterness explosion.

Pours a slightly hazy amber. Inch thick head of medium bubbles. Hops are evident in the nose. Sweet, herbal aroma.
First sip is interesting. The hoppy herbal quality from the nose comes out in the flavor and is nicely balanced by the malt. Smooth bitterness in the aftertaste. Very good. A solid English IPA.
I was a bit leery of this one. I love American double IPAs and this was a 5% British, which normally leave me wanting. Nothing too complex, but this was an easy drinking satisfyingly hoppy, bitter IPA that was a change from the citrus/pine high alcohol American hop bombs. Will drink this again.

Hazy copper-orange color with a large frothy off white head that leaves a some lacing in my glass, citrus and fruity aroma. Apple, pear and caramel flavors with a mild hop bite, medium body with a creamy and soft mouthfeel, finishes on the sweet side, a decent session IPA.

Pours out a slightly cloudy orange/copper color. Low-medium carbonation. Thin white head. I don't detect much in the way of smell - some hop aroma. I don't smell things all that well though...
A touch of a sweet taste up front, followed by some moderate bitterness. Slightly fruity...maybe oranges and lemons. Lingers nicely. Nothing too in-your-face, which isn't bad: sometimes.
This beer drinks fairly well. Nothing exciting, just a nice mellow IPA. I need to add that the more of this I drink, the more I want to drink. It's almost thirst-quenching.

Best before date is 27/06/03, so I'm basically two years late. However, Pride of Romsey has held up very well. Appearance is great, the color is a brilliant copper with just a little bit of haze. Plenty of carbonation that lasts throughout the entire pint. Head is above average in size and somewhat thick and creamy. Retention is excellent and leaves nice lacings. The aroma has suffered from age and is weak. Light malt smell is noted alongside a mild citrusy hop. Pride is still very flavorful after a couple of years. Taste consists of a light malt body overpowered by citrusy English hops. Flavor is nicely balanced and an interesting alternative to the super hoppy American IPAs that I'm used to. Definently not as bitter as expected, but still very tasty. Mouthfeel is good, but just a touch more watery than I would like. Drinkability is very good, this is the type of IPA of which I could spend a long session.

Tangerine peel orange with multitudinous fine specks, capped by a lovely looking cap of ivory foam that is firmsticky in consistency. The bubbly surface gives up the ghost grudgingly and maintains a slightly humped profile as it does so. Cheese grater-like lace sticks to the glass in fairly heavy, intermittently broken, sheets.
The nose is acceptable, but would benefit from more power and more personality. Citrus zest (sweet lemon especially) is the dominant member of the nasal profile, but it's too subdued. I'll have to keep reminding myself that this is an English IPA and not an American one. Other fruit peeks through as well; tart apples lightly sauted in butter?
Pride of Romsey is very English on the palate, but it isn't all that IPA-like. Pale ale I could buy. I know that it's a fine line sometimes between the two styles and that it comes down to, for the most part, the degree of hopping, but this beer doesn't deserve the IPA appellation even when taking its country of origin into consideration.
It's acceptably malted, which is the only thing that saves it from underhopped hell. The semi-firm malt backbone could withstand much more of a hop load than it has been provided with. I hate to beat a dead horse, but some dead horses deserve it. What hops are present convey a bitter lemon flavor that is more bitter than lemon.
Mildy sweet in the beginning and middle, things take a turn for the puckeringly bitter and dry by the finish. Maybe there are more hops here than the flavor would suggest. The body is on the light side of medium and the carbonation is on the low end.
Pride of Romsey is one of those beers that grew on my as I got deeper into the bottle. The hops seemed to assert themselves much more with warming, but this ale still fell short in the all-important arena of flavor. 'Pride' may be a bit of a stretch, but 'We're Not Feeling Too Bad About Ourselves In Romsey IPA' probably wouldn't sell very well.

Pours a golden orange hue with a frothy head. Aroma is of pine trees and oranges. Much more of a pronounced hop bitterness that sneaks up on you and lingers in the mouth long afterwards. Lacks a malt backbone...very little caramel and roasted qualities. Does however, have a fruity,flowery taste but is overshadowed by the lingering hops. Very drinkable British IPA but not sure if worth the $5 a bottle.
Note: Freshness date on the bottle says 6/27/03. Perhaps it is somewhat past it's prime now???

This is a great beer, and also the hoppiest I came across in the UK.
Pours a bright orange color with a big fat head with moderate retention. Beautiful wisps of lace are left on the glass.
The aroma is full of fresh citrus hops, with perfumey and bitter notes as well. Theres also malt in the nose.
The taste is full of pungent, oily hops. With massive lemon and grapefruit notes. There must be a lot of cascades in this beer. Theres also a clean bitterness and a restrained maltiness.
The mouthfeel is very smooth and satisfying with very minimal carbonation. This beer is eminently drinkable, and thirst quenching. With a great hop profile and a clean finish, this is is definitely one of my top five English brews.

Appearance: Light copper body with a nice head; good lacing

Taste: Just a smidge of malt on the front of the tongue; quickly subsumed by the citrus hops; long finish of bitter hops; not overwhelming like some American IPAs

A nice orange-gold color with at big 1 1/2" head that subsided to 1/4 " that stayed almost to very bottom of the glass. Good lacing.
Smell was hops and citrus.
Taste followed: hoppy with a hint of grapefruit. The label suggests orange, grapefruit & lemon. I wasn't able to pick up the orange at all or the lemon enough to be cretain it was there.
Medium-bodied with a nice astringency and lightly effervescent all over the tongue. Nice complexity for an IPA, quite drinkable.
One sidenote: the label listed a "best before" date of 6/27/03. I drank it on 8/6/04. The ABV seemed a bit higher in this bottle-conditioned brew than the listed 5%, no surprise, but the beer did try to rush out like it was champagne, so watch out and have your glass really close by so as not to waste any.

Bottle--BB date of 6/27/03. Excellent appearance...light copper with nice head and lacing. Smell is sweet, yet citrusy. Taste is unusual. Early bitterness lingers, but leaves a plastic like quality that finsihes in a very strong bitter quality that stays..not overly great. Mouthfeel is too dry, even for this hophead. Drinkability suffers due to plastic quality, over bitterness and extreme dry quality. This sample had a BB date that was over a year old so I might try a newer sample at some point..

Appearance: Rich copper-orange color with a small, crackly eggshell-colored head. Minimal retention and lacework, but nice collaring.
Smell: Citrus-y and pine-y hop character, in roughly equal measure. Moderate malt backbone. Faint spicyness, akin to allspice or perhaps cardamom.
Taste: Strong citrus character on the attack, followed by -- holy crap -- BIG, exceptionally aggressive hop character. I feel like my tongue has been sandblasted. Malt backbone is barely noticable on the first swallow, and completely overwhelmed on subsequent sips. Long, dry finish with hints of orange.
Mouthfeel: Moderate bead, moderate carbonation. Medium bodied.
Drinkability: This beer may be brewed in England, but it's an American-style IPA. Unfortunately, it's a fairly unbalanced IPA. Like so many other heavily hopped brews, it's basically a hop tea. Nothing whatsoever to balance out the hops. If you're a serious hophead, give it a try. If you lean more towards the malt side of things, I'd say to avoid it.

Clear, bright amber color, capped with a fresh layer of 1/2" chalk white froth on top. Aroma: citric, grapefruit, lemon, orange,pineapple, piney, shades of Cascades, but mild and mellow.
Taste: hops come a bit soapy on first entrance on the palate, but his washes away rather quickly, though it returns with eac h sip. Still fruity and refreshing, but a bit too thin and watery. Good malt, light bodied, and weak in the finish.
A mild IPA, and I usually yearn for a little oomph and tingle. If you like your ales on the disposable side, by all means.

Served from a brown squat imperial pint bottle, acquired from Mancheste rWine & Liquors for $3.99 I believe. Pours out a just slightly hazy orange/amber color, with a generous white head that dissipates quickly to a nice lacing that remains through the drinking. Aroma is sweet and fruity, detecting apple and raisin as well as some citrus, not overly hoppy at all but more malty in character. Taste is remarkably balanced for an IPA, a refreshing change from our typical American IPA. A good amount of bready yeast and pale malt flavor is ever present, with some soft citrus hops making an appearance midway and developing into just a bit of bitterness that quickly buils and then fades back to malty sweetness and caramel in the finish. Body is on the lighter side of medium. Very smooth and drinkable traditional IPA, alcohol is not noticeable at all.

Solid brown euro 550 ml bottle. Shiny medium copper color, very clear body with a sticky, crusty white head. Initial smells of citrus and freshly chopped hop leafs. Taste was tangy, bitter, lots of grapefruit and resiny, but smooth and not overpowering. Hints of oily malt underneath, some toasted biscuit flavors way underneath. Hop presence is there, but very different from an overpowering hoppy American IPA. The IPA flavors are there but more subtle, and maybe even more flavorful. Light to medium bodied, certainly refreshing. Paired this with grilled chicken and vegetables. Very good.

This bottle -conditioned IPA came in a sturdy brown bottle. The color was a cloudy gold with a nice small bubbled sustaining head. The aroma was citrusy (grapefruit and orange peels) with some floral bouquet. The taste was citrusy (orangey and grapefuity) with elements of caramel and some sweetness. It had a very good hop bite and good carbonation. The finish was fairly bitter. Overall, a pretty good beer.

Appearance Dark orange and cloudy in color with a decent head.
Smell The citrus hops are supercharged with a big infusion of grapefruit. Theres also a malty base to this one, but its hard to find underneath all of that zesty grapefruit.
Taste Pink grapefruit dominates this bitter IPA. The doughy yeast comes out much bigger at the taste, and the endive at the finish will leave you dry.
Mouthfeel This one is dry and bitter with a medium body and well-balanced mouthfeel.
Drinkability A little too much grapefruit for me, but this was a nice one nevertheless. Id like to get a hold of this on-tap.

Sampled from an imperial pint brown bottle and poured into a new style fluted English imperial pint glass.
Beer pours in the glass with a low white head that sticks hard to the glass with a beautifully clear and bright orange beer.
Aroma is fruity with red rusty sweet apple character and a small bit of butter that starts running the edges with a growing medicinal pheolic
Flavor is bitter and tannic apples with a caramel base malt that quickly leads to a drying and growing hop bite with a slightly metallic finish.

I wanted to compare a British IPA with its American counterpart so I picked up a bottle of Pride of Romsey IPA. This beer pours a hazy (I poured the yeast) straw yellow color with orange hues. A medium bodied ivory head dissolved slowly to a thick ring around the surface. Some lace clinged to the side of the glass in clumps.
The aroma was faint but I could detect some citrus and toasted malt. Each sip of this medium bodied beer is very smooth. The flavor is a well balanced combination of citrus (orange) and fruit (apricot) with a caramel malt taste holding it all together. It finishes mildly bitter leaving a dry citrus taste behind.
This beer is very drinkable and has a well balanced flavor. It reminded me more of a pale ale than an IPA and is not nearly as hoppy as its American cousins.

Pours orange-gold and hazy from the sediment (bottle warns not to pour out the sediment, but I happen to like my beer that way - haziness won't apply if you don't). Very foamy from the bottle conditioning, leading to a strong white head but it disappears quickly.
Lots of citrus in this one - orange to the nose, orange in the taste, with what I can best describe as lemon without the acid, and then a grapefruit bite. A smoothened bitterness throughout, not an overpowering hop bitterness even though it has those strong hop citrus flavors.
I could put away a few of these, and thanks to the alcohol being lower than most American IPAs I could. With the citrus flavors I think this would go well with some grilled or broiled fish.

Hardly any head, pale golden and hazy are the best ways to describe the appearance. The aroma has a very slight orange/citrus/grapefruit note. The flavor is buttery slick with a moderate level of diacetyl. It has a decent bitterness, but may be a bit stale. There is a definite caramel flavor and the aftertaste is dry bitterness. I don't rate the drinkability too high on this IPA.

Smoky goldenrod with a moderate beige head.
Buttery toast, spruce and iron-spiked herbs as far as the nose goes.
Begins caramel sweet, then toffee, then grainier with dollops of butter. Mineral notes pop up, with a strange gin-like alcohol (strange in that it appears so early). Yeast pour adds breadiness, and tempers this alcohol. Tonic-like, quinine hops rides this out with a midget herbal sidekick.
Medium full-bodied. Seems to loom larger than the ABV indicates.
Decent (at best) English IPA.

A Bottle conditioned beer. An orangey-copper color, that pours with a bit of haze and a large off white head with tan notes. This beer has a grassy-hay aroma. It tastes quite bitter up front, with a fairly clean but definitely grassy hop flavor note. A modest body and a modest malt character accompany the hops. This beer, as it should be, is very much about the hop. A nice straight forward IPA. As it warms up the English style hop flavor becomes much more evident. This was a nice contrast to the typically American-hop hoppy IPA.

The rush to help the 17 dogs rescued from a puppy mill in Alexander county has overwhelmed the Charlotte Humane Society. Many of the dogs were cleared for adoption Tuesday and have steadily found new, loving homes since.
"To be able to take her home and make her healthy and take care of her... It's just a really good feeling," said Rita Evans.
When Evans saw a small brown Chihuahua on the Charlotte Humane Society's website she melted.
"I was waiting for that one little puppy or dog to catch my eye," said Evans, who couldn't keep her eyes off Truffle.
Truffle is one of the 17 dogs rescued from a puppy mill in Alexander County last week. Deputies there described the home as deplorable without food, water, vet care for the dogs.
"We've had tons and tons of calls of people wanting to get here," said shelter manager Matt Smith. "The response any time it's any kind of cruelty situation the public comes out in droves.
"Not only are they adopting an animal they're adapting an animal that was in really horrifying conditions before it was made available to them. It's fantastic."
Evans and Truffle are one of 6 completed adoptions from the puppy mill rescue last week.
"We don't have any children and so that is our baby," said Evans holding Truffle. "It's good to know we're taking care of her and give her a loving home and spoil her rotten and give her something she's not use to."
And that's a home full of love.

DNA database grows to nearly 220,000 samples with inclusion of certain arrestees
RALEIGH, N.C. : April 12, 2012 - DNA work by the State Crime Laboratory resulted in 409 hits to the DNA database in 2011, matches that helped local law enforcement solve murders, rapes and other crimes across the state.
During the same time period, the lab used DNA to help eliminate 149 individuals as suspects.
"DNA is an amazing tool that can pinpoint criminals and exonerate the innocent," Cooper said. "Steady work by DNA experts at our State Crime Lab is making North Carolina safer and furthering the cause of justice."
The Crime Lab's DNA work was recently found to meet high national standards by an independent, external audit conducted by the Federal Bureau of Investigation. The FBI Quality Assurance Standards review validated the lab's DNA procedures and methodology.
The State Crime Lab maintains the state's DNA database and provides law enforcement with analysis of evidence that may contain DNA. At the end of 2011, the North Carolina DNA database contained 219,329 profiles and had helped to solve more than 2,100 cases since its inception in 1994.
The State Crime Lab had more hits to the DNA database in 2011 than in the first 11 years of the DNA program combined and was only a few hits shy of beating 2010's record-setting 420 hits.
The database includes profiles from all convicted felons and since February 1, 2011 also includes profiles from certain arrestees under a new state law backed by Cooper. The lab obtained hits to 24 arrestee DNA profiles in 2011.
So far in 2012, the lab has obtained 54 hits to the DNA database including nine hits to arrestee profiles.
"Investigators rely more and more on rock solid DNA evidence to solve crimes," said SBI Director Greg McLeod. "The State Crime Lab is using technology to make DNA analysis available to law enforcement across North Carolina."
Experts at the State Crime Lab compare DNA evidence recovered from crime scenes to DNA profiles of suspects developed by investigators. They can also use the DNA evidence to search for a hit, or match, to a profile in the database. A hit can help law enforcement solve a case with no known suspects and can clear wrongly accused suspects.
"Scientists at the State Crime Lab use their knowledge and expertise to help crack complex cases that might otherwise go unsolved," said Crime Lab Director Judge Joseph R. John, Sr.
North Carolina's DNA database is part of a national database called CODIS (Combined DNA Index System), which is overseen by the Federal Bureau of Investigation. Convicted offenders' DNA samples are collected at local
jails and state prisons for analysis and inclusion in the state and national DNA databases.
Law enforcement officers take DNA samples from arrestees by cheek cell collector and the samples are then analyzed and uploaded to the databases.
Under the new state law allowing DNA collection from certain arrestees, an arrestee's sample may be eligible for removal if he or she
isn't convicted or the case is dismissed. More than 20 other states and the federal government have also passed laws that allow the collection of DNA samples from arrestees, and courts have upheld the practice as constitutional.
The State Crime Lab, including the Forensic Biology Section that performs DNA analysis, is working toward accreditation under stringent ISO17025 standards.
That will allow the lab to be accredited by two outside organizations, making it one of the first in the U.S. to have dual ISO accreditation.
"It's critical that our lab meet the highest standards so that the criminal justice system continues to
have access to accurate, trustworthy scientific analysis," Cooper said.

ACCOMACK CO., Va. - Last night, firefighters fought yet another fire at an abandoned structure in Accomack County.
This is possibly the 28th in an alleged string of arsons, which started exactly one month ago.
"Anybody that gets the thrill out of burning property that belongs to someone else is a sick person," said David Wise.
A 100-year-old home and endless memories vanished and engulfed in flames. For David Wise and his family, the scene is surreal.
"It's very hurtful because my mom used to bring me over here when I was a child to visit my grandfather," said Wise. "There's a lot of memories here."
Sandra Williams is a friend of the family, who did not want to appear on camera. She says she has been to this home several times since she was a little girl.
"I used to come back here and have delicious food, so this is scary people must realize that people could be sleeping in these house," said Williams.
For volunteer firefighters, this past month has been anything but easy.
"It's tearing us up," said Tasley Fire Co. Chief Jeff Beall. "We've burned up a lot of hose, gone through a lot of fuel, a lot of equipment and it's taxing on us physically and mentally and our family lives."
Virginia State Police are still investigating and need your help to bring a suspect to justice. If you know anything which might lead to an arrest, contact Virginia State Police at 757-787-5813.
