Eat More, Weigh Less
Eat Smaller Meals
It sounds like a paradox, but the diet philosophy here is that by eating five small meals a day rather than the traditional three most of us eat, you'll shed pounds. Why? Because eating this way helps maintain a stable insulin level. The carbohydrates and sugars that cause insulin to be released into the bloodstream will come in a steady stream five times a day instead of in three big loads. This consistent insulin flow sets in motion key changes to your body to help you lose weight and have more energy. Here are changes you can expect from eating five small meals a day:1. Less Stored Fat
Eating five smaller meals a day prevents the body from releasing excess insulin and storing as fat the calories your body doesn't need. Instead, you get the amount of food your body can use as energy right away.2. More Energy All Day
Eating five meals a day makes you feel more energized and less sluggish than you would if you ate more food less often because you get a regular stream of nutrients (to convert to energy) all day long. You also get an energy boost by eating protein at all five meals. Here's why: One of protein's most important amino acids is tyrosine, which can increase your mental alertness and energy by elevating the brain chemicals dopamine and norepinephrine.
Eating protein five times per day, instead of two or three, releases these chemicals more often for energy all day. Dieters who snack on just pretzels or fruit lose the protein plus.3. A Faster Metabolism
Did you know that one way to burn calories is to eat? It's counterintuitive but true. Every time you eat, your body uses up a certain amount of energy -- calories -- digesting, absorbing, metabolizing, and storing your meal. In fact, about 5 to 15 percent of your total calories are spent on digestion alone. It's called the "thermic effect of food" (TEF): The more often you eat, the more often your metabolism revs up to process food. To keep your metabolism spinning, time your meals so that as it begins to slow, more food will revive it.4. Mood Improvement
Have you ever felt agitated, depressed, or irritable during the day but couldn't pinpoint the cause? It might be because you're eating less often than you should. When you eat fewer, but larger, meals, your body may respond to the flood of food by releasing more insulin than you actually need. The result? The excess insulin removes more blood sugar than necessary, causing a deficit in your body's glucose, which saps energy and leaves you feeling less happy, no matter how cheerful you normally are.5. Reduced Stress
Eating is important for a reason most people don't appreciate: It's a time to put your life on pause. Taking a break isn't just healthy for your mind. It's also beneficial for your body. The more stressful your life is, the higher your odds of being overweight. A New York Academy of Sciences study suggested that women who experience chronic stress overeat. When you're stressed, your body releases a hormone called cortisol that can stimulate appetite. A Yale University study suggested that women dealing with stress may develop excess fat around their waistlines and surrounding their organs. The study noted that there are more cortisol-sensitive receptors within fat cells in your belly than elsewhere in the body. Five meal breaks a day, even short ones, can help turn off this fattening stress-cortisol cycle.

Town Divided On The Pool Project 55;45
- Details
- Published on Wednesday, 24 April 2013 23:04
- Written by Super User
Dear Editor,
Being one of the "undecided" regarding the proposed pool project, I took time to attend the recent council meeting to hear the Aquatic Committee's presentation. Duke Hagestrom did an excellent job delivering the presentation, and it was clear that he and his fellow committee members had done their homework.
However, the second portion of the presentation – the video production consisting only of testimony from pro-pool citizens – was troubling, especially after Duke had already acknowledged the town was divided on the project 55/45.
Assuming the polling was impartial and properly sampled; most people would interpret it as a town evenly divided. So why, with clear knowledge of a community statistically evenly split over a controversial project, did the committee's video presentation only include "pro-pool" interviews?
Had a private group made the presentation, bias would have been understandable. However, this is a town committee, as such; they are supposed to represent citizen opinion respective to the input they receive or know to exist – not favor one citizen's input over another's.
A fair (and normal) committee process would have been to present the project details to Council, and let the public voice their support or opposition. Or, if this committee felt a video presentation was a better way to represent public opinion, why didn't the video include an accurate mix of opinion (55/45)? Whatever the reason behind the decision, what could have been a learning experience for the public gave way to little more than a pro-pool advertizing blitz.
As concerning; "we all" paid for the video production - even those opposed to the project! Apparently Council authorized the use of $2,000 from the feasibility study funds to pay for a professionally produced video that would wow the audience and set a "supportive tone" at the meeting. So where's the $2,000 for the citizens that are undecided or not in favor of the project? How are they supposed to produce a video that expresses their difference of opinion with equal impact?
Frankly, there was nothing about the presentation that offered an equal platform for public input.
Did people have a chance to get up and speak against the pool? Sure, they could have; but as independent voices could they really have competed with the overwhelming pro-pool message of the video? I'm use to town proceedings, so the video didn't intimidate me, but I can see how it could easily have intimated others less familiar with the process or less comfortable speaking in a public forum.
Surely Council understands that manipulated presentations don't build citizen trust? Do they also understand that the entire creditability of a committee report is undermined when any part of the report is seen as biased? Are we now expected to maintain confidence in the costs and revenue projections when other parts of the presentation have clearly been "colored" to be something they aren't?
Most importantly, our Council should never use our town committees as marketing tools against our own citizenry. It's normal to use taxpayer funds to "inform" the community, but I've never seen a Council spend feasibility funding to mount an ad campaign targeted at disenfranchising a segment of its own community.
Fact is; public process is, and should be, important to all of us. Our committees take their charge and direction from Council, and its Council's responsibility to mentor them in remaining objective and inclusive of all shareholders, and to insure an "equal platform" for public input.
The use of a taxpayer funded ad campaign designed specifically to roll-over opposing citizens' viewpoints should never be a consideration. Where was our Council liaison to the Aquatics Committee when this was being planned, and why did he fail to advise and guide committee volunteers on these important public principles?
Over the years I've worked with Duke on several town projects and committees, and in that time I've found him to be honest, professional, and someone that loves his town. So my comments are not intended to minimize the time and commitment Duke and his fellow committee members invested in their efforts. Nor do I have an issue with the folks that appeared in the video - they were simply voicing their opinion. My concern is strictly over the underlying intent of the video, and lack of guidance by Council to insure an even playing field for public input.
I've always felt that one day we should build a community pool. But is this the time?
Should the pool come before a much needed operations center? If there's a revenue shortfall, will non-CB rates be increased to cover it? Will having to rely on a large revenue share from non-residents and off-island groups/events allow CB residents adequate enjoyment of the pool? Will the loss of existing parking, and additional parking required by the pool, become a bigger problem than expected? Can we run the pool efficiently – or will it become another skatepark situation, where rules are continually relaxed due to difficulty of enforcement or lack of staff?
Since I left public office I've intentionally refrained from offering opinion on town issues, instead focusing on my town volunteer work. But as a citizen and taxpayer I have a right and an obligation to question these issues. So don't let people distort the message at hand simply because I'm the one raising the subject. And let's hope Council handles the remainder of this process more impartially than we've seen to date.

Chicago Bears general manager Phil Emery says too many playoff misses and the inability to develop a productive offense led to coach Lovie Smith's firing.
SEE: Lovie Smith fired after 9 seasons, Bears look forward
The Bears let Smith go Monday even though they won 10 games.
Missing the playoffs for the fifth time in six years and the inability to fix the offense were simply too much to overlook, so they cut ties with their coach after a nine-year run that included a Super Bowl appearance.
Emery said Tuesday he'll be interviewing potential replacements over the next two weeks and would like to have one in place by the college All-Star games later this month.
Emery sees Jay Cutler as a "franchise quarterback," although the new coach will determine if he's the long-term solution. He was noncommittal about Brian Urlacher's future.
Potential head coaches include Denver Offensive Coordinator Mike McCoy, Cowboys Special Teams Coach Joe DeCamillis, Tampa's Offensive Coordinator Mike Sullivan and Falcons Special Teams Coach Keith Armstrong.
Emery said no one is excluded, and money will not be an issue.

How Leonel Fernández Reyna won a third presidential term...
Leonel Fernández became the most recent Latin American president to be reelected. Several factors account for his electoral success. Under Fernández, the Dominican Republic experienced one of the most dramatic economic recoveries in the region as the country overcame a grave recession and achieved an average growth rate of 9 percent between 2004 and 2007. Reelection was also the result of a simple and powerful campaign strategy that included an innovative communications strategy. As in most elections, success also came from the strategic mistakes of the opposition.
The Contenders
The Dominican Liberation Party (PLD) underwent a rigorous nomination process that pitted Fernández against at least two important figures within the party. The internal battle, which in many ways was a prelude to the subsequent presidential contest, pitted Fernández against rivals who questioned the legality of reelection. As in other Latin American presidential systems, the Dominican Republic has a long anti-reelection tradition that is largely the result of authoritarian rulers who ruled the country for dozens of years at a time.
In the most recent process, however, Fernández represented the continuity not only of a remarkable economic recovery but also the reelection of a person whom most Dominicans considered the most admired individual, as measured in public opinion polls. The admiration for Fernández was rooted not in the strongman traits that typically characterize others in the region who have been reelected; instead Leonel, as he is called by the average Dominican, is admired for his intellectual skills and for how he used his mild-mannered ways to brave the crisis he inherited in 2004.
The internal nomination process confirmed that no other PLD party leader could challenge Fernández's leadership. Rather than embarking on a campaign against his opponents, the campaign team merely published a weekly tracking poll. In the end, Fernández won a landslide victory in the nomination vote, although Danilo Medina—his principal opponent and former chief of staff—won nearly a third of the vote. While Fernández won a decisive victory, Medina went on to play a less than decorous role in the national election, including %uFB02 irting with the leading opposition candidates.
The principal opposition party, the Revolutionary Dominican Party (PRD), selected Miguel Vargas Maldonado, who had served as public works secretary during the ill-fated government of Hipólito Mejia (2000-2004). A very wealthy businessman, Vargas put his fortune to good use. Vargas initiated his presidential campaign as early as 2006, and by mid 2007 he had already outspent all of his internal and external competitors.
The only other competitor of note was Amable Aristy, who staged a come-from-behind victory in nomination process of the Reformist Social Christian Party (PRSC). Founded by former President Joaquin Balaguer, the PRSC experienced severe internal turmoil as the losers in the nomination process went on to launch quixotic campaigns. Aristy labeled himself the candidate of the poor and spent much of his campaign handing out pigs and chickens in the poorest areas of the country in an attempt to convince Dominicans that, if he were elected, food would be handed out to one and all. This was not enough, however. The PRSC performed poorly; the party won less than 5 percent of the vote and unless it is able to bring together all factions it could well disappear as a political contender.
The PLD's Winning Strategy
Fernández arrived in office in 2004 with a long laundry list of things to do, but he was mainly perceived as the only possible savior of a country that had been led into economic, political and socialchaos by former president Mejia. The results converted Fernández into a type of surgeon who with a team of specialists had restored confidence in the economy by restoring growth, attracting foreign investment and stabilizing all macroeconomic indicators. The most influential aspect of this recovery on the 2008 reelection platform was a very ambitious public policy agenda. From the outset, Fernández repeated the phrase "we have a plan" to address problems such as urban transportation, crime, energy and lack of food. In fact, each problem had a meticulous and executable plan. The most remarkable included the construction in record time of the country's first metro and the Democratic Security Plan, which achieved some semblance of safety in the country's poorest and most crime-infested neighborhoods.
While Fernández devoted his time in national and international forums explaining the explosion of oil and commodity prices and touting his programs, his opponents were presenting vacuous campaign slogans devoid of any real programmatic content. Not surprisingly, polls confirmed repeatedly that voters believed Fernández was the most qualified of all candidates to deal with the critical problems facing the Dominican Republic.
In 2004, the Fernández campaign's main approach was to compare the PLD's performance in of%uFB01 ce between 1996 and 2000 (when, also under Fernández, the country grew at an average of 9 percent annually). One of the principal political achievements of this strategy was the PLD's dramatic mid-term victory in 2006, which gave the ruling party control over both houses of Congress. This victory removed the final obstacles to consolidating Fernández's plans to modernize the Dominican state.
In contrast, the 2008 strategy defined the contest as a choice between voting for Vargas (which represented a leap back to uncertainty) and voting for Fernández, who embodied confidence and stability and the only way toward the full recovery of the Dominican Republic—especially in the midst of a looming world economic crisis. In short, the PLD's strategy was simple and powerful. It was framed largely as a choice between progress and backwardness, concepts that Dominicans readily understood and which were decisive at the time of voting.
The communications strategy framed all Dominicans— not simply the campaign or the candidate—as the ones demanding the continuity of Fernández in office. The campaign slogan captured the strategy's purpose. It was also part of an ongoing dialogue with voters. In 2004, the PLD adopted the words of a popular Merengue song "E Pa Fuera que Van" (roughly "Throw the Rascals Out") as its slogan. The government, once elected, transformed it into a new slogan/promise, "E Pa Lante que Vamos ("We are Moving Forward"). To demonstrate continuity and capture the general sense that Fernandez should remain in of%uFB01ce, the 2008 campaign slogan became "Palante Presidente ("Onward Mr. President")."
The campaign's communication was managed not only through traditional means. Based on polling data that found Dominican youth identified with Fernández's modernizing vision—as happened in Barack Obama's presidential campaign—the communications strategy relied on Web 2.0 technology to transmit the central message through virtual means.
Simultaneously, the campaign's television spots—which also aired on YouTube and other online tools—promoted the idea that Fernández was the only one capable of nursing the country back to health. The most popular TV spot was one that relied on Dominicans' love of baseball to illustrate how the country had already struck out twice under the PRD (from 1982–1986 and from 2000–2004) and that a third strike was likely if Vargas were to be elected.
Any good campaign in Latin America must also count on a candidate's ability to quickly change tactics in response to changing conditions. In the 2008 campaign, potential threats were converted into winning opportunities. Such was the case with two devastating tropical storms that flooded a large part of the country and resulted in tragedy for large numbers of Dominican families. While the opposition attempted to capitalize on the tragedy, the PLD campaign portrayed Fernández as an able and compassionate president who suspended his reelection bid to tend to the country's needs. In the end, Dominicans saw Fernández as a president resolving crises. His opponents were seen as crude politicians trying to capitalize on a national tragedy to win an election.
The Opposition's Strategy
The opposition's strategies were plagued with errors. The PRD launched a full-scale negative assault on Fernández in an ill-fated attempt to undermine the PLD candidate's credibility. Vargas presented himself as an outsider and as an entrepreneur who could generate employment and better economic opportunities for all Dominicans. Given his prominent role as public works secretary during the chaotic 2000–2004 period, however, this message was never credible.
The PRD also made the mistake of not only selecting a lackluster and uncharismatic candidate but also one whose ability to deliver a public speech was limited. This contrasted with Fernández's polished and sophisticated delivery, which demonstrated profound knowledge and control over every issue. Vargas's limited oratorical skills proved fatal to a negative campaign that begged for someone with good delivery. Vargas's principal strategic mistake was to design a campaign that essentially hid the PRD to avoid the linkage with the past. Given the candidate's limited personal skills and the PRD's very strong social base, in the end the campaign made a very belated attempt to restore the party and to make it—rather than the candidate—the real option in 2008. By the same token, the message of the PRD's campaign message was %uFB01lled not with hope (which was essentially the PLD's message) but with very negative doom and gloom scenarios. As is common in elections anywhere in the world, hope generally defeats tragedy.
The Results
Fernández won 53.8 percent of the vote to Vargas's 40.8 percent and the PRSC's meager 4.5 percent showing. While the PLD's victory augurs well for this party, the results showed that the rest of the party system is facing a very serious crisis. Vargas showed that he could indeed mobilize PRD supporters, but it is unclear whether, in the long run, he will be able to overcome challenges from within his party. Former president Mejia, for example, announced himself as the party's leader right after the elections.
The situation with the PRSC is more dramatic. This once-great party failed to surpass the 5 percent threshold needed to maintain its standing not only as a legal political entity but also to receive funding from the system to compete in future elections.
Incumbents have a clear advantage in winning reelection. Clearly, reelection is determined mainly by good performance in office In the United States, reelection has also rewarded those who do well in of%uFB01ce and penalized those who do poorly, as happened to President George H.W. Bush in 1992 when he lost to Bill Clinton. Similarly, throughout Latin America, reelection has rewarded a diverse group of presidents who have done well in handling the economy and who have retained very high levels of public support.
Fernández's reelection is part of this broader trend. The challenges he faces as president in the context of the global financial crisis are legion, and most Dominicans still see him as the only one capable of leading the Dominican Republic through these turbulent times.

MODESTO — You never have to wait too long before some scandal involving a church and betrayed trust hits the news. There are countless stories of people putting their faith in a minister who turns out to have lower moral standards than the sinners he counsels.
This is why Molière's comedy "Tartuffe" still hits a nerve even though it was first produced 348 years ago. The French comedy is wincingly accurate in its depiction of how devious people can get away with outrageous crimes by hiding under the shield of God. Sad to say, it likely will be just as timely 348 years from now.
Prospect Theater Project's production at the Gallo Center for the Arts in Modesto features a polished cast, a stylish setting in 1950s New Orleans and hip musical interludes of recorded jazz and swing music.
As seen at Thursday night's dress rehearsal, director Jack Souza's production is an engaging, witty piece of theater, if not as powerful as Prospect's previous sellout presentations at Gallo of "The Grapes of Wrath" and "To Kill a Mockingbird." You can't beat the low ticket prices of $8-$15.
The story centers on Orgon, a wealthy businessman who comes under the influence of Tartuffe, a con man who poses as a priest. He has moved Tartuffe into his house and seeks his advice on every matter, despite the objections of his wife and children.
Prospect uses Miles Malleson's easily understandable modern English translation. There are a few rhymed sections of dialogue at the end of each scene, but for the most part, the dialogue is in free verse.
As played by the very likable David Barbaree, Orgon is a sympathetic character who wants so badly to find someone to believe in. Barbaree has a gentle presence and a kind demeanor. Played by another actor, Orgon might seem like an idiot. But you couldn't be mad at Barbaree in this role any more than you could be angry with a teddy bear.
Christopher Volkerts is appropriately slick and slimy as Tartuffe. He slithers around the stage saying pretty words to Orgon, all the while lusting after everything Orgon has.
Megan "Emme" Cardenas nearly steals the show as Dorine, the sexy French maid who is smarter and wiser than nearly everybody else on stage.
She's not afraid of anybody and she'll speak the truth no matter how much it offends. It's too bad her French accent makes her sometimes hard to understand.
Bonnie DeChant is also a highlight as Orgon's lovely wife, Elmire. She is clever and charming and never loses her cool under any circumstance. She shines in scenes where she must battle the advances of Tartuffe.
Colton Dennis is unfailingly reasonable as her brother Cleante, Andrew Brown is hot-headed as Orgon's son Damis, and Souza's daughter Molly Souza is sweetly emotional as Orgon's daughter Mariane.
Karen Olsen enters like a whirlwind as Orgon's pro-Tartuffe mother. She provides some of the funniest moments in the show as she spouts invective at everyone in her family.
As with Cardenas, her accent sometimes makes her hard to understand although in this case it's a Southern accent.
Tori Scoles' portrayal of her dimwitted maid seemed a bit over the top and distracting. Scoles' antics (including following Olsen around and staring at everyone with a vacant expression) took focus away from the main dialogue on stage.
Souza's set is attractive, with Greek columns and a checkerboard floor. The performers wear elegant dresses and suits.
"Tartuffe" offers many laughs and a message that can't be repeated too often. To paraphrase a line in the play, beware people who wear a heavy cloak of virtue. It may be hiding heavy vices.

Fighting with Fire-Breathing Dragons
Each day we will select two or three experiments from the following list, depending on weather and ability of the students. We reserve the right to change the subjects as necessary to meet the needs of the children. The age group for all programs is 5 - 11. Most days, there are three lessons, and all students are together for the opening part of the lesson. Then we randomly split them into two groups for the story and the hands-on experiment.
* Launching Water Balloons: What better way to douse the dragon's fire? Use our 12-foot-tall slingshot to make water balloons disappear.
* Smoke Rings: This is useful for distracting ridgeback dragons. Use stage fog to create smoke rings from all sorts of containers.
* Hovercraft: Float heavy weapons over land and water right to the dragon's lair.
* Parachutes: These are handy if the dragon decides to give you a toss from up in the clouds.
* Cork Shooters: With loud noises and flying objects you can create a diversion.
* Straw Rockets: No dragon will be safe in the sky. These go so high they seem to disappear.
* Soap Bubbles: It turns out that dragons are deathly afraid of bubbles!
* Water Bottle Rockets: A barrage of water bottle rockets will put out the fire and scare away all but the bravest dragon.
* Launching Film Cans: Using dry ice we can hide in the fog and launch objects with impunity.
* Trebuchets: I wonder if dragons like grapefruit? Either way, they are going to get some!
* Roller Coasters: Dragons just can't resist trying to eat people riding on roller coasters. Better make yours go fast!
* Crushing Castles: Build a castle and then knock it down with arrows from a ballista.
* Stomp Rockets: Dragons love eating messengers, but it might be possible to send a message by way of a simple rocket.
* Curveball and Frisbees: Dragons just don't know what to do about things that don't fly straight.
* Balloon Rockets: When dragons see these, they get so furious that they start fighting with each other.

Residents are now paying one cent less than they were last week. A gallon of regular is now $3.46.
The same can't be said for the rest of Texas. The statewide average for a gallon of regular unleaded in the Lone Star State is now $3.57, according to the AAA Texas Weekend Gas Watch. That price is three cents more than last week and 12 cents less than the current national average of $3.69. Drivers in Fort Worth are paying the most on average at $3.68, and drivers in Beaumont are paying the least at $3.44.
In New Mexico, the average for a gallon of regular unleaded is now $3.49. It is one cent less than last week. Of the major metropolitan areas surveyed, drivers in Las Cruces are paying the most on average at $3.49, and drivers in Santa Fe are paying the least at $3.42.
While the recent price movement has varied by state, the year-over-year savings have been nearly universal. Drivers in every state, with the exception of North Dakota, pay less than the same day last year. In Texas, drivers are paying an average of 18 cents less per gallon than this same day last year. After declining during the second half of February, crude oil prices have posted slight gains in recent weeks as a result of positive economic news.
"As we see gas prices fluctuate up and down, we encourage people to continue to maximize their vehicle's fuel efficiency," said AAA Texas/New Mexico Representative Doug Shupe. "Spring weather has arrived and many will hit the roads for weekend trips, so we remind them to maintain vehicles according to manufacture recommendations, pack belongings in their car not on the car, and drive the speed limit - not aggressively."

SILVER CITY — With the Fourth of July holiday coming up, officials on the Gila National Forest want people to know there are plenty of places to go on the forest that are not on fire.
Even with the Silver Fire burning in the Black Range Mountains and the Aldo Leopold Wilderness on the southeastern part of the Forest, the remainder of the 3.3 million acres of forest land still offer a diversity of recreation opportunities.
"The Forest is big and offers scenic drives, camping, picnicking, backpacking, hiking and wildlife viewing," said Forest Supervisor Russell.
Visits to the Gila Wilderness and the Blue Range Wilderness can be enjoyed as well as a visit to the Forest's three lakes - Quemado Lake, Lake Roberts, and Snow Lake.
Pueblo Park Campground offers a quiet place for overnight camping as well as campgrounds north of Silver City in the Pinos Altos Mountains. The National Park Service's Gila Cliff Dwellings National Monument and the campsites along the Gila River are also open. A picnic next to Whitewater Creek among the cottonwoods and sycamores at the Catwalk National Recreation Area can also be enjoyed.
Due to the Silver Fire activity and concerns for public safety, as of this past Sunday, the entire Aldo Leopold Wilderness and adjoining forest lands to the south, southeast, and to the eastern boundary of the Forest will be closed to the public until further notice.
Highway 152 from San Lorenzo to Kingston - through the Black Range, remains closed. Highway 61 from its junction on 152 to Highway 180 is open, which includes access to City of Rocks State Park and Faywood Hot Springs. The access route to La Esperanza Vineyard and Winery in the Mimbres, six miles southeast of the junction of 152 and 61 off county road G3-77, Royal John Mine Road is also open. Past the access road to the winery, the Royal John Mine Road remains closed to the public.
By practicing aggressive fire prevention during Stage 1 fire restrictions currently in place, visitors can still enjoy the Forest safely. Campfires are allowed in developed campgrounds and picnic areas in Forest Service-provided grills or metal fire rings, but not outside these areas or in rock rings. Petroleum-fueled stoves, lantern or heating devices are acceptable provided they meet the fire underwriter's specifications for safety. Smoking is limited to a vehicle, building, or three-foot area cleared of all flammable materials. Fireworks are a big no-no and never allowed on Forest Service lands.
"People who choose to have a fire where campfires are allowed will still need to be extremely careful," Russell said. "In particular, make sure your campfire is dead-out before you leave."
For current information on the location you would like to visit, contact the local District Ranger office or visit the Gila National Forest website: www.fs.usda.gov/gila.

Carolina Beach Police Beat: Open Doors Invite Crime
- Details
- Published on Wednesday, 26 June 2013 13:53
- Written by Super User
By STEVE STANTON
Carolina Beach Police Advisory Cmt.
CAROLINA BEACH - Summer chores are here for most of us and that means we are in our gardens, maintaining the lawn or puttering around the house.
Along with this, garage doors and storage sheds open up to get the needed tools out. Open doors lead to extra eyes viewing the contents that are behind or inside the building. An all too often crime is garage theft which becomes prevalent during the spring and summer months.
This type of crime is primarily seasonal, when home owners go about their chores around the house and unwittingly leave doors open and an invitation for crime.
Thieves are looking for a quick and easy score for items they can carry off to pawn or sell for cash or drugs.
Leaving your garage door open while you work in the rear of the house or even leave the house for a short time is asking for trouble.
Many of us do not have serial numbers recorded or identifying information on tools and equipment that we own.
Unless a neighbor or someone sees this type of crime happening, you may not even k now a crime has taken place until you go to use the tool or equipment the next time. If this is the circumstance, your lost item is certainly lost forever.
There are several steps you can take to protect yourself. Most importantly, do not leave your garage door or shed door open with equipment spread in the driveway or readily visible from the street.
When outside doing lawn work, be vigilant of your property and report suspicious individuals that seem to be lurking without reason. Close and lock all doors after your chores are complete and don't forget to close your garage door for overnight and always lock your car doors.
This may seem like simple advice, but these easily accomplished steps may save you a big headache in the future.
Carolina Beach Police Beat is brought to you by the Carolina Beach Police Advisory Committee (CBPAC).
The next meeting of the CBPAC will be Monday, July 9th at 7PM in the Police Training Room at the rear of Town Hall. Residents are invited to bring their concerns to the meeting.

FLORHAM PARK, N.J. (AP) -- Kenrick Ellis is thrilled with everything he has accomplished this offseason on the field, impressing his Jets coaches with marked improvement.
All of that will be put on hold starting Friday, when the second-year defensive tackle is expected to report to a Virginia prison. He will start serving a likely 45-day jail sentence after pleading guilty last month to assault and battery stemming from a 2010 fight while attending college at Hampton University.
Ellis is expected to miss only a few days of training camp next month while finishing his sentence.
Coach Rex Ryan says he has spoken to Ellis about the situation, and believes the third-round pick in 2011 will come back and make a big impact on the Jets' defense.

BP hires ex-judge to be U.S. ombudsman
The Associated Press reports that BP PLC has retained former U.S. District Judge Stanley Sporkin as its ombudsman to hear worker complaints from Alaska and elsewhere in the United States, in a move to stem the tide of criticism over the British oil titan''s operations. BP officials and Sporkin said BP has given the former jurist free rein to report to the company whatever he hears from workers in the field. Some BP workers in the past have taken their complaints about BP''s practices in Alaska to a former oil-tanker broker named Charles Hamel, a frequent oil-industry critic, because they say management hasn''t heeded their warnings about corrosion and other problems at Alaska''s giant Prudhoe Bay oil field. BP partially shut down production at the field last month after discovering corrosion problems more severe than company officials said they had realized. The move led to a surge in global oil prices and came amid investigations by federal and Alaska officials over BP''s management of pipelines in the state. Sporkin has some firsthand knowledge of the Alaskan oil issues. He presided over a lawsuit in 1993 in which Alyeska Pipeline Service Co. was accused of spying on Hamel and his wife, Kathy. Alyeska agreed to settle the case with Hamel and his wife without admitting wrongdoing. Alyeska operates the Trans-Alaska Pipeline on behalf of a consortium of oil companies that includes BP, Exxon Mobil Corp. and ConocoPhillips.

Duration: 1 Hour
Miriam Bale presents two films by director Robert Siodmak. Though known primarily for his noirs, which so perfectly combined his German Expressionist vision with the American urban, low-budget crime film, Robert Siodmak was also adept in other genres, such as in The Suspect. Though this is a British-set, period melodrama (starring the always subtle Charles Laughton and the impossibly gorgeous Ella Raines), it is just as dark and haunting as some of his more well-known noirs such as Criss Cross, The Killers and Phantom Lady.(Director: Robert Siodmak. 85 min. 1944. 35mm.) Also screening is Phantom Lady, produced by longtime Hitchcock collaborator Joan Harrison (writer of Suspicion, Saboteur and Rebecca). The story, of a secretary (Ella Raines) obsessed with proving the innocence of her boss who's been framed for murder, features one of Harrison's recognizably woman-centered plots, which is an anomaly for a film noir, especially for one of this caliber. This is a singular New York noir with shadowy stylistic touches, odd characters, and weird flourishes, too (including a sexy drugged-out drum solo and Carmen Miranda's sister as the titular lady who's disappeared). (Director: Robert Siodmak. 87 min. 1944. 35mm.)

Barnes: Media Stuck on Daily Diet of Explosions in Iraq While Columnist Sees Progress
Barnes, Executive Editor of the Weekly Standard, observed, "Here's what struck me about it: David Ignatius reported about a lot of top level private meetings of Sunnis, Shia and Kurds of the number of meetings over, what, the last couple of weeks, I think. Where were the reporters? Why did David Ignatius, a columnist for the Washington Post, have to go over there and reveal that to us? I mean, the reporters ought to know about that. These are major figures politically in Iraq and we get nothing from them except word of explosions. From the other reporters -- that's the daily diet." (More from Barnes, and an excerpt from the Ignatius column, follow.)
In the first segment of the March 16 panel segment on Special Report with Brit Hume, Morton Kondracke, of Roll Call, raised the column by Ignatius, who while not a wild liberal, is certainly no conservative:
"There was a really interesting story, column in the Washington Post today by David Ignatius who's sort of a centrist columnist. He's been, generally speaking, fair and he's in Baghdad and he interviewed a whole lot of people including our ambassador there, but also a number of Iraqis. And he is optimistic about the future there. He said that-"
Brit Hume: "You mean politically, the formation of a government?"
Kondracke: "Politically, the formation of a government, that the leadership in Iraq looked into the abyss of civil war and pulled back and is now working on a unity government. Now it's not formed yet, but if there's a hero here, boy it's Ambassador Khalilzad who's meeting with absolutely everybody to try to put this together and keep the country from flying apart. One thing that's interesting that was in there, is that Khalilzad sort of hints that we may have to go talk to the Iranians about, you know, what they're doing in Iraq and try to get them stop messing around, whereas this national security document declares that Iran is our foremost enemy in the world."
Fred Barnes: "This article was interesting for another thing that Mort didn't mention and, although I agree with everything you said about the article, and it is one that really is, I think creates some optimism and if you talk to people at the White House now they're predicting pretty strongly that a new government will be formed late this is month or early next month. To that I would say it's about time. But if it's formed that will be, that will I think solve some of the concerns that people have. Obviously, when they look at Iraq and they -- and they're not optimistic about what's going to happen there.
"Here's what struck me about it: David Ignatius reported about a lot of top level private meetings of Sunnis, Shia and Kurds of the number of meetings over, what, the last couple of weeks, I think. Where were the reporters? Why did David Ignatius, a columnist for the Washington Post, have to go over there and reveal that to us? I mean, the reporters ought to know about that. These are major figures politically in Iraq and we get nothing from them except word of explosions. From the other reporters -- that's the daily diet."
An excerpt from the column by David Ignatius, "Steps Toward Unity in Iraq," as published in the March 16 Washington Post:
BAGHDAD -- There has been so much bad news out of Iraq lately that you have to pinch yourself when good things seem to be happening. But there are unmistakable signs here this week that Iraq's political leaders are taking the first tentative steps toward forming a broad government of national unity that could reverse the country's downward slide.
What has brought Iraq's political factions together is the crisis that followed the Feb. 22 bombing of the Samarra mosque, which raised the danger that Iraq might tumble into a full-scale civil war. The country's political leaders seemed to realize, as they stood at the brink, that they would either come together or Iraq would fall apart. So far they seem to be choosing unity -- or at least serious talks about unity.
The venue has been a series of meetings this week that have included all of the country's major political factions. This conclave was proposed a week ago by U.S. Ambassador Zalmay Khalilzad. His idea was that the political leaders should all gather, in rural Iraq or perhaps at a Baghdad hotel, and keep meeting until they hammered out a new government....
Khalilzad told me in an interview in his office after Wednesday's session that the talks had produced tentative agreement on two basic points: First, the parties endorsed the idea of a unity government that would include all the major factions. Second, they agreed that this government should have a top-level "national security commission" that would include representatives of all the major political parties. Operating by consensus, this body would frame the broad outlines of policy, subject to the Iraqi constitution.
This week's dialogue broke the deadlock over the composition of the coalition....
The U.S. ambassador's upbeat account is believable because it is echoed by Iraqi political leaders. Adel Abdul Mahdi, Iraq's vice president and a representative of Hakim and his powerful Shiite party known as the Supreme Council for the Islamic Revolution in Iraq, told me Wednesday: "We have a common understanding on major issues -- on the need for consensus and on a national security commission. What makes me confident is that I think we are building up a sense of understanding among different communities." He said the message of the new government must be: "No one is outside of the law, whether the Badr Organization [the Supreme Council's militia], the Mahdi Army or the insurgency."
One seeming obstacle to unity has been fear about the role of Iran. To finesse that issue, Hakim said he is urging Iran to talk with the United States about Iraq's political future. Khalilzad himself has been quietly exploring what he calls the "modalities" for such U.S.-Iran talks on Iraq.
One hint of the new spirit of accord (and also of the political jockeying taking place) emerged when I visited Ahmed Chalabi, a Shiite politician who has allied himself over the past year with Sadr and with Prime Minister Ibrahim al-Jafari. With Chalabi Wednesday was Sheik Khalaf Elayan, one of the leaders of the biggest Sunni party. Chalabi seems to be seeking Sunni political allies, believing that they will be a crucial part of the next government. He also believes that Sunni tribal leaders such as Khalaf are working to stop the al-Qaeda leader Abu Musab al-Zarqawi....

Alright, so this 'little' guy pours a straw/golden hue, with a white head that scatters very quickly into a thin ring around the Bruery goblet I poured it into just a half a minute ago.
Smells amazing. Lots of pine and tropic hoochie koo going on in this one. Very deep for its alcohol content.
Has a thin beginning, followed by ample waves of balanced bittering hops, along with a crisp and clean finish. HELL YEAH!
Has a little bit too thin of a mouthfeel for my preference. I can't ignore the fact that this is a super hopped American Pale Ale and does, in fact, fit the profile of one, but lets leave categories to BJCP qual'ed folk. I know what I LIKE.
Drink-ability is phenomenal. You have a low alcohol brew with a lot going on in it. This could easily be my next go-to session beer....session, of course, in retrospect to the big beers I usually enjoy.
Cheers, Alesmith!

Appearance Semi-clear, light orange body with a decent whitish head.
Smell Wonderful, balanced aroma. The hops are very complex. The pine comes out strongly but the floral scents are beautiful. There are light citrus notes as well. All of this works well with a strong, bready malt that reminds me of the 7th Anniversary Stone.
Taste The hops from the nose join in at the taste and the malt sweetens up a bit. Some light sugars come out here as well. Overall, a very balanced Pale Ale.
Mouthfeel Medium body with a surprisingly high level of carbonation. This one feels good in the mouth. Its very smooth and refreshing yet balanced.
Drinkability No, its not extreme beer like a Ruination or a Dogfish 12 hour IPA, but it delivers quite nicely on the Pale Ale style.

Pale cloudy yellow, good carbonation. This beer starts out just looking good. Mildly malty & fruity nose: bit of citrus (grapefruit). Taste: crisp somewhat dry maltyness & fruity notes; I get grapefruit. Some mild hops. What a beer: looks good, smells good, and tastes really good. So tasty, and nice body!
Excellent stuff!!

Alesmith is rapidly becoming one of my more respected breweries. This beer is an excellent example of why that is the case. It's in many ways the anti-Stone (the more well known micro from San Diego). It's subtle, it's balanced, it's mature. It's different - but in a way that doesn't scream "look at me - I'm extreme dude!!!"
Anyway - the first pour shows an incredibly carbonated beer of a nice orange tinted gold. There is a haze, but it's not that significant. Floaters exist - but not to a distracting degree. The head is huge and fluffy, but oddly uneven in bubble size. Seems almost like a lager head in some ways.
Aromas are of citric hoppy bitterness and some light yeasty, funky, baking break with butter notes.
Initial taste is of a nice, refreshing crispness - but without the bitterness one bight expect from a west coast pale ale. It's very smooth and soft on the palette. Strong citrus notes tie into an earthy malt interplaying with the sharpness of the hops. Through it all is the unexpected yeast -- sort of a "Belgian IPA" in some ways. In the finish the malt gives way at last to the yeast and a sort of flowery herbal flavour rides onto the hops bandwagon to leave you with a nice, clean and crisp aftertaste.
It's a west coast Ale. It's hoppy. But it's not over-hopped. It's balanced, it's interesting. A tasty beer and a model others should emulate.

Presentation: 22oz brown bomber, white silk screened label with no freshness date.
Appearance: Effervescent carbonation with a light haze from both the chill and some from the yeast, fluffy white head holds strong on top of the pale golden orange colour.
Smell: Citrusy of a tart orange and bit of rind, light bready and yeasty aromas … clean to the nose.
Taste: Big crispness, smoothness lays in strong also after the medium high carbonation. Medium body with a mounting dryness. Quick flash of grainy pale malt before the hops set in, bitterness is lightly sharp with a rounded pungent citric flavour. Clean in the mouth with waves of citric flavours from the hops and a straight lines pale graininess that is, again, clean. Down deep is a hop flavour that borders on the earthy with herbal undertones. The back end is crisp and dry though not bone dry, hops lay in with a long lasting herbal flavour with citric flavours.
Notes: Poster boy for the American Pale Ale style, rich without being too complex and drinkable to the point of being a beer to have in the fridge year round. The hop fix is there for the hopheads but not too hoppy to the point excessive.

Bomber purchased at Peekskill, NY Bev, comes w/o freshness info.
Pour is hazed dull tangarine. Off white head, tiny bubble head and fine strands of lacing.
Moderate citrus nose, leads to a well hopped and highly enjoyable IPA. Some cookie and more citrus, with grapefruit leading the way.
Nicely done in an understated (for San Diego) kinda way. Quality IPA. Well worth a try

Poured into a Sam Adams perfect pint glass
Appearance: 1/3 inch head, gold in color, clear, high carbonation
Smell: citrus, pineapple, and pine
Taste: citrus and sugar start with floral hops at the end. As this beer warms there is a biscuity nuttiness in the middle
Mouthfeel: high carbonation, medium-light bodied, sweet start with a sharp bitter end
Overall: A nice and clean hoppy sipper. For the style, this one is up there with the best. It is bitter but not overly so. Not the first Alesmith beer I would reach for but certainly a very good one.

The beer pours a straw-yellow color with a white head. The aroma is very fruity. I get some papaya, mango and pineapple as well as some bready malt.
The flavor is heavy on the tropical fruit. It is a mix of fruit components, with the papaya and mangoes standing out. There is a ton of hop flavor, but the hop bitterness is low.
Medium mouthfeel and medium carbonation.
A great pale ale and a ton of flavor in a lower ABV package. We need more beers like this one.

Bomber picked up at Premier Gourmet in Buffalo. I was about to drink this, then got horrifically sick for two weeks, so this is my welcome back.
Poured into a nonic. Surprisingly bright golden brew, big fluffy head with excellent retention, and loads of sticky lace. Effervescent.
Nose is citrus hops, nice lemon, apricot and mango, with bready malt notes and a bit of pepper. Liking it so far.
Highly drinkable pale ale, light and crisp with the lemon and pepper, with the hops playing second fiddle somewhat. Might be a bid past its prime (with no freshness date, there's no way of knowing), but still some tasty stuff here.
Effervescent, vigorous carbonation, medium bodied.
An enjoyable pale ale, worth a go.

Purchased at a BevMo while on my beercation for about $3.50 a bomber. The head settled down quickly. Big smell of pine & citrus hops. Tastes like a WC hoppy IPA, not a pale ale, with its hop profile. Not balanced in anyway but great for a hophead. Mouthfeel is smooth and it is drinkable. ABV is low which leaves room for more. Stifler, if you like hops, this is a pale ale for you.

This may be the one of the best pale ales out there. Pour is copper with some brewer's yeast and a strong white head. Aroma is citrus with grain and pine. Taste is impeccable. Slight hops with citrus balanced against the malt. Not the astringent bite of Sierra Nevada, but a lingering finish. Very refreshing.

Poured from a 22 oz. bottle into a tall Summit EPA glass. Bottled on 07/03/13.
Appearance: Pours a bright and clear yellowish golden orange with a moderate amount of rising bubbles. Solid three fingers of off white head which slowly recede into a patchy and creamy layer. Leaves a lot of clingy lacing.
Smell: A fresh and juicy citrus hop forward aroma with some pine and bready malt. Citrus hops upfront with fruit hints of orange, pineapple, mango, grapefruit, apricot, tangerine, and lemon zest. Earthy hops with hints of spicey pine and grass. Solid backing of sweet bready malt with hints of biscuit, grains, cracker, yeast, and caramel. Leans towards the hops but still well balanced. Very solid aroma.
Taste: Like the nose indicates, a juicy hop forward taste with big citrus notes and some pine and sweet malt. Fresh and nicely bitter hops upfront with citrus fruit notes of orange, pineapple, tangerine, grapefruit, mango, apricot, and zesty lemon. Spicy pine resin notes along with some floral and earthy notes including grass. Balancing sweet bready malt presence with notes of biscuit, grains, caramel, crackers, and yeast. Bitter, juicy, and nicely balanced. A very solid West Coast style Pale Ale taste.
Mouthfeel: Medium bodied with a moderate amount of carbonation. Juicy, crisp, and somewhat oily. Pretty smooth. Very drying.
Overall: A very good American Pale Ale. Almost like an IPA with the big hop presence but enough sweet malt balance to smooth it out.

Appearance: Copper golden orange tone with a short lived white head leaves nice lacing not bad at all. Aroma: Pince scented hops with some biscuity malt character has a bready tone to it all seems hoppy but not overkill just well hopped. Taste: Some bready sweetness clean flavor all around hoppier finish with pine and citrus tones peeking through the flavor profile. Mouthfeel: A thin light bodied ale which adds to drinkability, but takes away from the complexity of this beer effervescent carbonation a good feel to it. Drinkability: This is the session beer from Alesmith not too high in alcohol flavorful and very quaffable, nice brew that pleases me from beginning to end of the 22oz.

This beer pours a light straw yellow with a thck white head that fades slowly leaving thck laces. It smells hoppy. Quite hoppy. It has a cirtusy aroma also. Maybe some orange. It smells slightly spicy also. It does not tast nearly as hoppy as it smells. It is hoppy, just not as much as I expected. It has a cirtus flavor. There is a slight fruity taste. I dont taste much in the way of malt. It also tastes slightly spicy. Maybe a little clove? This beer is carbonated will. It is crisp and refreshing. It is light bodied. It goes down smooth leaving a citrusy aftertaste. I think this beer would make a great session beer. It tastes good, and is low in alcohol. If you get a chance to try this one, do so. I will definately buy it again.

This is a very well done APA, and is not as heavy as some other APA's.
A- It looks lighter than most pale ales. Pours nicely and has a nice looking head.
S- The smell is not at all overwhelming. It has a light smell, with hints of citrus.
T- The taste is very good. It is not too brilliant in any one flavor, but certainly does not lack in any either.
M- It has a very crisp and refreshing mouthfeel. The cripness of it actually caught me by surprise at first, but after a couple of sips I was a true fan.
D- Not heavy at all, this beer is quite drinkable.

FedEx expects today to be the busiest shipping day of the year... and in its history.
As people scramble to get Christmas presents sent on time, an estimated 19 million packages will be sent via FedEx today. That's almost twice the number sent in 2005.
If you're waiting until the last minute to ship by ground, FedEx says you'll have to send your presents by December 17.
The U.S. Postal Service says the holiday mail crush is coming soon, and has announced what you need to know about this year's key dates.
Postmaster General Patrick Donahoe says one big date to remember this holiday season is December 17th. He says that'll be "the busiest mailing day of the year for holiday cards and packages."
Another important date is December 22nd, the last day to send Express Mail to make sure it gets delivered on Christmas Day.
But Donahoe says there are a lot of services available online, too. For example, you can print your own labels and buy postage online. And when your packages are ready, the postal service will come pick them up for free. Check it out at USPS.com.

Marshall Standout Leaving Program
Reported by: Mark Martin
Videographer: Mark Martin
April 23, 2013
With the loss of three contributing seniors, we knew that Marshall's basketball program would have a different look in the 2013-14 season. On Tuesday the Herd roster lost yet another key member as it was announced DeAndre Kane won't be returning for his fourth and final season in Huntington.
The Pttsburgh native was an All-Conference USA second team pick this past season for Marshall, averaging 15.1 points per game and 6.9 assists per contest. Kane spent a good chunk of the season running the point for Marshall.
Kane earned a share of Marshall's outstanding player of the year award with fellow junior Elijah Pittman. As a junior Kane played in 34 of 35 games and was again an All-Conference USA second team selection.
Kane was third in Conference USA scoring as a sophomore, averaging 16.5 points a game. He scored a Conference USA Tournament record 40 points in a triple overtime win over
Tulsa. In his first season with the Herd, Kane was named the C-USA freshman of the year and earned All-C-USA third team honors.
Marshall head coach Tom Herrion said of Kane's departure. "After meeting with DeAndre, I have decided it is in our program's and his best interest that he seek opportunities elsewhere. We appreciate his contributions to our our team and wish him the best in his future."

Dear Carolyn: My amazing, wonderful fiance made what he has referred to as "a very bad decision" and got married at 20, while he was still in college. He was divorced by 23, and not amicably. We met and began dating a few years later, and he was very open about it from the get-go. Throughout our four-year relationship, the fact that he was briefly married has barely registered as a blip on my radar; people make mistakes.
But suddenly, now that we are engaged and beginning to plan our wedding, I can't seem to stop dwelling on the fact that he once publicly promised to spend his life with someone else. I don't doubt his commitment to me, or that this is a well-thought-out decision. I know I need to take a step back and recognize that it's water under the bridge. Any advice on how to do so would be really appreciated!
The Second Wife
Are you able to step into your past a bit, to rummage around for an experience that can help inform your understanding of your fiance? Specifically, I'm thinking of a past relationship in which life with that person was the only future you could envision. I don't see a huge difference between "publicly promised" and privately felt, except perhaps in the timing (say, if you were still in high school when you felt that way) or degree of impulse control.
Either way, your life was this person … until it wasn't.
Now your life is with your fiance, and you're both fully in this moment — despite your past loves and his.
Or, because of them. This depends on what he learned from it all, but I could argue his nuptial oops enables him to be more present for you than he might have been without one.

S60 3rd Edition (initial release)
S60 devices that are switched off can switch on automatically to react to alarm events.
In the alarm startup mode, the user will see and hear the alarm and can choose whether the phone will be switched on.
The alarm server (RASCliSession) can be used to set an alarm to wake up the phone in the alarm startup mode.
Alarms can be set programmatically to turn on the device (in alarm startup mode) at a specified time. Note however, that there are no APIs available to initiate a normal power-up cycle directly - when using alarms, user interaction is required to switch on the device in alarm startup mode.
A specific flag must be set for the alarm (TASShdAlarm) to indicate that it is a wakeup alarm and should wake the device up even when powered off.
