Biotics Research Corporation - Mg-Zyme Magnesium Complex - 100 Capsule
MgZyme Biotics Research is a source of supplemental magnesium, supplied as mixed mineral chelates. Adequate magnesium intake is of utmost importance, as it is critical to most ATP-dependent reactions. Magnesium is important for musculoskeletal health, proper cardiac and immune function, and the maintenance of healthy blood sugar levels. Dietary intakes below recommended levels are common.
Magnesium is abundantly present in nature at the center of plant heme as it is needed extensively to carry out the many functions dependant on it. Too often the recommended five servings of fruits and vegetables which contain the necessary magnesium are not ingested. Mg-Zyme is a good way to quickly help reestablish this needed mineral nutrient by starting with four tablets at bed time and increasing to bowel tolerance.
Why you may need Mg-Zyme.
Magnesium (Mg) is a macromineral which plays an indispensable role in a wide variety of metabolic functions in the human body. In fact, it is difficult to find a metabolic process which does not require magnesium. Of the approx. 25 grams of Mg found in the human body, ~60-65% is located in bone, ~27% is intramuscular, and ~7% is found in other cell types and bodily fluids. Over 300 known & distinct different essential enzymatic reactions in the body require Mg. Energy production, including fat and carbohydrate metabolism as well ATP production are Mg dependent. RNA and DNA synthesis also require the presence of Mg. Structurally, Mg is crucial, as it is part of the bone's crystal lattice. It is also found in concentration on the cortical surface of bones where it is believed to be stored until it is needed during times of deficiency. The cardiovascular system, nervous system, muscles, kidneys, liver, brain, hormone secreting glands, and gastrointestinal tract all rely on Mg for their metabolic function. Due to this pervasiveness, deficiency symptoms can widely vary. Some of the most common presentations associated with Mg deficiency include: hypomagnesemia, hypocalcemia, hypoglycemia, elevated serum fats, increased blood pressure, muscle weakness, tremor, and spasm. A softening or weakening of bone, headaches, nausea and vomiting have also been noted. Decreased absorption of Mg has been associated with individuals with gastrointestinal dysfunction, renal impairment, alcoholism, glucose metabolism disorders, and also with seniors. Diuretics, certain antibiotics, anticoagulants, corticosteroids, and oral contraceptives may all lower magnesium status. Consuming a diet high in cooked foods, fiber, or excess zinc may also impair Mg absorption.
Why your Healthcare Professional recommends Mg-Zyme from Biotics Research Corporation?
'Chelated' and 'Non-chelated' are the two basic forms of Mg found in dietary supplements. In the case of Mg, the most common chelates fall into the category of amino acid chelates, where the Mg molecule is attached to an amino acid building block. There is some research that indicates that chelated Mg (i.e. magnesium glycinate, magnesium aspartate, etc.) is better absorbed than many non-chelated forms such as magnesium oxide. Biotics Research Corporation has formulated Mg-Zyme with an ideal blend of three forms of magnesium recognized for their bioavailability and decreased risk of gastric distress. These forms include magnesium aspartate, magnesium gluconate, and magnesium glycinate, and make Mg-Zyme an exceptional formula for neuromusculoskeletal health. As always, you can count on Biotics Research Corporation to offer superior nutritional products supplying "The Best of Science and Nature".
All Bitoics Research Items are Gluten Free!
Currently, it is believed that gluten sensitivity (gluten intolerance) effects almost 700 million people
worldwide. Gluten intolerance covers a wide spectrum of conditions, including celiac disease and wheat allergy.
Symptoms include bloating, abdominal discomfort, pain, diarrhea, headaches and migraines, lethargy, attention-
deficit disorder, muscular disturbances, bone and joint pain, and even schizophrenia.
At Biotics Research, they provide superior nutritional supplements to benefit the patient health. ALL
BIOTICS RESEARCH PRODUCTS ARE GLUTEN FREE and they always have been! With Biotics Research, there's no
need to search through a catalog for all of the ingredients, or review label after label. You can use any product
from Biotics Research without concern because ALL BIOTICS RESEARCH PRODUCTS ARE GLUTEN FREE !
Quality Control - What Sets Biotics Apart
The Biotics Research way!
At Biotics Research Corporation, we manufacture our own branded products on site, in our own state
of the art facilities, allowing for complete control of the entire manufacturing process. In our on-site
laboratories, the highly skilled members of our Quality Control Unit, utilize modern, sophisticated technologies
and validated analytical methods to test incoming raw materials, monitor manufacturing processes, perform in-
process testing, and test all finished products prior to their release for shipment. In fact, many aspects of our
cGMPs (current Good Manufacturing Practices) exceed the new, recently enacted FDA guidelines for dietary
supplements in order to ensure the safety and effectiveness of our products.
The Quality Control Unit (QCU) has the authority to approve and/or reject all specifications and procedures
associated with the production and release of all raw materials, packaging materials and finished products,
including test methods and results, instrument calibrations, and processing records. The QCU conducts all internal
audits, and validates and audits all raw material and packaging suppliers and service vendors as well.
All incoming raw materials are subject to appropriate testing prior to their release for production. Tests
conducted include identity, potency, biological activity, microbiological, including bacteria, yeast and mold
(including aflatoxins) and heavy metals (arsenic, cadmium, lead & mercury). Retained samples are maintained of
all raw materials and finished products for future testing requirements (raw material stability and finished
product expiration date verification).
All bulk finished products (tablets & capsules) are inspected and subjected to metal detection
prior to being sampled by QC. They are then subject to appropriate disintegration and/or dissolution testing, and
potency testing prior to being released to packaging. All liquid and powder products are tested for potency prior
to packaging as well. Finally, microbiological testing is performed on all finished products and document
reconciliation is completed prior to being released for shipment.
All testing is performed by our trained QC personnel using state of the art laboratory instrumentation including
High Pressure Liquid Chromatography (HPLC), ICP, Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometry (AA), gel electrophoresis, FT
-IR, Ultra Violet spectrophotometry, Thin Layer chromatography and Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry (GC-
Unlike many companies that are struggling to meet the new GMP requirements established by the FDA, companies
that are being regulated into implementing quality programs, extensive Quality Control has always been part of the
corporate fabric of Biotics Research Corporation.
From day one, the mantra of Biotics Research Corporation has been "Innovation and Quality." Our goals remain
unchanged – utilize innovative ideas and carefully researched concepts with advanced techniques to develop products
of superior quality and effectiveness – bringing you "The Best of Science and Nature".
Other Ingredients: Capsule shell (gelatin and water), organic vegetable culture, magnesium stearate and stearic acid (vegetable source).

About this font family
This is the revival, repair and expansion of Thomas Hollingworth's Informal Gothic, one of the winners in VGC's National Typeface Design competition in 1965.
Social Gothic is a unicase font that successfully achieves a hand-made look by combining standard sans serif type elements with some "chiseled" wooden shapes and friendly rounded lowercase components. The totality of the face is clean, legible, with an impact that is quite conservative and easy on the eyes, even almost humanist, in spite of the individual standard forms used. More…

Adjusting to paleo when severely overweight?by Kit_Peters 103 · February 23, 2011 at 11:37 AM
I'm asking this question for my wife, who is severely (BMI ~60) overweight. We started Paleo two weeks or so ago. About four days after we started, my wife had severe diarrhea. She then came down with a non-specific viral infection that had her down for a few days. In that time, she "fell off the wagon", as it were. She's been feeling better, so she started back on the paleo diet four days ago. And again today, severe diarrhea. By comparison, I've been doing paleo for the same amount of time, and I feel pretty good.
Note that our meat / fat sources are all grain fed at the moment - we haven't switched to grass fed for budgetary reasons. Since we're getting a lot of omega-6 fatty acids with this diet, we've been supplementing with 1360mg fish oil (which says it provides 950mg omega-3) for the past few days.
She has done some research, and it suggests that this diarrhea could be the result of toxins stored in the fat being metabolized along with the fat she's burning. Alternatively, there are other sources that say it could be that her intestinal flora are out of whack. Does anyone have any suggestions to help her adjust? The diarrhea is debilitating to the point where she's having to miss classes (she's a college student) when it happens.

I second this ... motion. [WARNING: MILD TMI ALERT] BMI 41. Pānu since 12 February; STRICTLY VLC; STRICTLY twice as many grams of fat as grams of protein; NO fruit (juice of ONE slice of lemon on some days); Kwaśniewski's obesity macro-ratios. And the first week was diarrhea every day. Steak, coconut oil, pastured eggs, Kerrygold butter, avocados, romaine, lemon or lime juice, cherry tomatoes, sardines, heavy cream. Last coupla days have had some solidity (sorry), but I just wanted to let your wife know she is NOT alone. It has been disconcerting me as well - I better lose weight with all this!!! :+}
As a 29yo woman who started Paleo with a BMI outside any medical chart and no gall bladder, I did not experience this. I "detoxed" off carbs/sugar, but with salads, meat, nuts and coconut as my only foods for a month, I had PERFECT "BMs." It might be the fish oils, the actual foods or "sneaking" gluten once clean (that does the same as above for me) but from my experience not her body composition.
FWIW, I stuck with it and am feeling amazing at 111lbs lighter 9mo later.
That is quite a bit of fish oil to take all at once - especially if you never have before- maybe she is having a reaction to the oil. Maybe try to take less oil and ramp up to that amount.
Is she missing her gallbladder? If she is, and she eats a lot of long-chain fatty acids, it doesn't matter where they come from, they'll give her the runs. Medium-chain fatty acids (also referred to as medium-chain triglycerides) do not have the same effect.
I don't know if there's a real difference between grass-finished and grain-finished in terms of LCFAs or MCFAs. I do know coconut oil's a great source of the latter. Maybe she could go for lean cuts of meat and then add in the coconut oil as her dietary fat.
Seconded on the fruit if she's eating a lot of it. Plus there's the fructose angle. With her being that overweight she might also have fatty liver (it can occur in non-alcoholics); in that case the last thing she wants large quantities of is fructose. But fruit can cause GI upset even if her liver's healthy. I'd say stick with no more than a serving (maybe 1/4 to 1/2 cup) of berries or low-sugar melon (think cantaloupe or honeydew) per day. She needs to be cutting back on sugar intake anyhow, natural or not.
[Side note: Just in case she's dealing with fatty liver (it shows up on lab tests as elevated liver enzymes sometimes, though not always), choline will help. Liver and egg yolks are excellent sources.]
There's something to be said for yogurt or kefir if the gut flora are out of whack. I know they're not "Paleo" but they are traditional. The brands you find in the average health food store (Whole Paycheck maybe) will probably be a better bet than Yoplait. They're more likely to be organic or grass-fed and they're more likely to be full-fat. If you just can't do dairy, look into kombucha. Raw is best. They're re-formulated the major brands so they are lower in alcohol. It's not as bad as it sounds--a little bit like drinking cider. Which is sort of Paleo. :) I tend to be mistrustful of all these so-called "probiotic blends" the big food companies are coming out with. At least in a food or a drink you know the germs are probably live. The ones that make lactic acid will survive the stomach and populate the intestines.
My advice would be for her to attempt a more gradual transition to paleo. Give her body time to adapt. Cut out some of the worst right away like wheat and sugar. But let stay lots of potato and maybe some rice. Leave in some of the borderline stuff at first. Coast in more slowly and just don't slam her body with a whole new world all at once. See how it goes. Make changes gradually and see any particular change causes any particular probs.
And I agree to not do the fish oil supplement at first. See how she does without it. You guys have probably been living all your lives without fish oil pills so a bit longer won't matter hugely in the overall scheme of the universe. PLus it may not be a good quality one or it may have gone bad. If you pop open a pill and it smells very fishy, then it may have gone rancid. Fresh fish actually does not smell fishy. Only old fish does. And some people just seem to do badly on fish oil pills in general. If you do decide to do fish oil later, ramp up the dose slowly and watch for side effects. Remember that fish oil is a blood thinner and large doses of fish oil are somewhat controversial in the paleo community.
Try adding in a pro-biotic like Culterelle to add good bacteria back into her gut.
I'd guess that it is a gall bladder issue. The gall bladder emulsifies any fats that are eaten. If the fats are not emulsified they can give you the runs. It will take some time for the gall bladder to get up to speed. In the meantime, she can adjust her fat intake. Divide the fat intake over the day, so the gall bladder can produce less at a time, and possibly emulsify any oils. Instead of eating a really fatty steak, rather eat a leaner steak with some home-made bernaise sauce, where the butter is emulsified with eggs.
See this for Kurt Harris' take. http://www.paleonu.com/panu-forum/post/992321
Are you eating lots of nuts? Nuts, almonds especially, tend to have the same effect on me.

Sunday, I had the opportunity to attend the unveiling of a new statistical program developed by Bloomberg, the same people behind the financial network which helps clients analyze stocks and trends. The unveiling took place at Bloomberg headquarters in New York and representatives from the company as well as MLB.com were on hand to describe the program and to show those of uf in attendance what we can expect when the product goes public on February 18.
Bloomberg has taken the same approach for financial markets and applied this to statistical analysis for baseball. The program will help fantasy owners choose players for their leagues and also give them real-time stats for their drafts and give them updated information so they can decide on trades, cuts and pick-ups.
In addition, teams have a powerful version of the program which gives them more information and can allow for prediction of pitches, analyze swings and arm slots. Currently, teams are using Bloomberg Sports Baseball on a trial basis for the offseason and Spring Training. I learned the program is being tweaked throughout the trial period to give teams exactly what they want. We'll see if this is a gamechanger in both fantasy and in MLB overall. This certainly has the potential.
For fantasy league owners, Bloomberg has complete access to MLB databanks and can tap into real-time information. What this program can do is marry all of your leagues together. You can draft your teams from whatever league your team is based, ESPN.com, CBSSports.com, Yahoo, it doesn't matter. You can manage them Bloomberg Sports and make changes from there and apply them to your leagues. You don't have to go to each website to make changes. That's a big advantage there.
Your Draft Kit looks like this and the players are shown like a baseball card. You can also make them appear in a grid if you wish.
What's interesting is that if you click on a player, statistical information will appear like a card and you can choose from certain views to see batting average, on-base percentage, ERA, WHIP, all types of information. Where you might have had to buy a fantasy magazine to get this information, you now have Bloomberg Sports as one stop shopping destination for the stats you need.
If you're considering a certain player, you can call him up to find out the latest information. Let's say you want to know what's going on with Jason Bay of the New York Mets, you do a search and you will get all types of articles, not only from Bloomberg and MLB.com, but from blogs, newspapers and other websites. Bloomberg will not only gather this information, but also link back to the original source driving traffic to the site.
Now, let's go from the draft kit to the actual in-season program. This can give you side-by-side comparisons of players with charts, graphs, and all types of bells and whistles you can access to make the right decision on which one to keep and which one to drop.
For instance, if you wanted to check out Ryan Braun's statistics, you can do a search and this will give you all types of offensive information and if you click on the pic here, you will also find fielding information. It's quite fascinating what Bloomberg has done here to bring all of this information.
And the interface seems to be user-friendly from all appearances. Now this may change once people start using it, but the format seems easy on the eyes and doesn't scream or force you to squint.
The information for pitchers is in similar format to batters, but you can find all types of charts showing trends and statistical data to assist you in your assessment of whether to keep, drop or trade if you league allows you to do so.
We also learned that writer Jonah Keri will become of the Head of Content for Bloomberg Sports. He'll head a staff of writers which will provide fresh content for MLB.com and for subscribers. That staff will be announced in the coming days.
Teams have been using a souped-up version since the Winter Meetings in December and the Biz of Baseball's Maury Brown reviewed the program when it was officially unveiled to teams at that time.
MLB.com is already taking orders for the program, which comes in three categories, Draft Kit, In-Season Tools or both. The Draft Kit is $19.95, In-Season Tools is $24.95 while getting both will cost you $31.95.
Quite a fascinating program and I thank Bloomberg Sports for inviting me to watch the demonstration. It was also a great opportunity to meet baseball bloggers and also meet up with Amanda Rykoff, the OCD Chick, with whom I have conversed extensively on Twitter, but didn't have the chance to formally talk in person until today.
Thanks to Joe Favorito for inviting me and thanks to Bloomberg for feeding us today. That goes a long way.

Development of a Dynamic EUS Needle: Improving the efficacy of endoscopic needle and noninvasive surgical procedures
University of Virginia, 2009 - $19,900Advancements in endoscopic technology have significantly widened the scope of possible procedures, going from being able to just look inside the body to being able stage cancer, drain pseudocysts and more. But, despite the success of endoscopic technology, doctors often have to remove one device and insert another one each time a new function is needed, whether it be electrocautery, stent deployment or fine needle aspiration. This E-Team is developing a new multifunctional endoscopic needle that will consolidate devices, ultimately reducing waste and procedure time. The team's needle would be dynamic, allowing the physician to begin a procedure with a small diameter needle to locate and reach a lesion, then further explore or alleviate the lesion by increasing the needle diameter during the procedure. The internal diameter of the needle device would remain large enough to allow simultaneous use of other devices, such as a stent or cautery device, increasing the doctor's procedural capacity without requiring the removal of the initial device.

SPRINGFIELD, Ill. -- Chicago Democratic Senator Ira Silverstein has introduced legislation that would make it illegal to smoke inside a vehicle if a child is present.
Silverstein hopes the potential law will protect kids from secondhand smoke.
If the measure is passed, violators would face a $100 fine but police would not be able to pull drivers over for just a smoking violation.
Six other states currently have similar bans.

WARREN, Ohio - A ribbon-cutting ceremony Tuesday night marks the completion of a Trumbull County bike trail connecting bikers to a 100-mile-long trail.
The south end of the trail is finished for visitors to enjoy.
"Across the nation where bike trails have gone in they've improved property values and improved the quality of life in that area," said Trumbull County Parks Commissioner John Brown Jr.
The Warren leg is part of making the connection for bikers to travel the Great Ohio Lake-to-River Greenway, that will one day reach Lake Erie.
On the current trail, bikers can travel from Ashtabula County to East Liverpool.
"We have to complete a patch between Warren and Niles, and then there are some portions south of here in Columbiana County that need to be completed but our portion is getting very close to being done," said Brown.
The south end was phase two of the Warren trail upgrades. The City's Mayor said the project began in 2005 and has been a long road for the city.
"We spent $250-thousand on our trail head that's at North End Park, and another $3.5 million on the trail itself," said Mayor Doug Franklin. "That's why it's taken so long. We've had to apply for funding during various stages of the project."
Both phases of the project were funded by federal dollars. Many now hope the trail will pave the way for potential tourist dollars.
"I've talked to people both in Ashtabula and over in Franklin and Emlenton, Pennsylvania, where I ride along the river,"said Cyclist Harry Reibold. "They're interested in coming over here to try our trail, which in turn brings some economy, brings some economics to the town."
"We use it quit often," said Cyclist Gladys Antonelli. "We found a way to ride from our home into town and we use the local restaurants when we do that, then ride back. It's like a little special treat at the end of the trail."

Another man sentenced to prison for torching Hitiching Post Hotel
CHEYENNE, Wyo. (AP) _ A federal judge has sentenced a New Mexico man to serve five years in prison for torching the landmark Hitching Post Inn in Cheyenne.
Judge Nancy Freudenthal in Cheyenne on Thursday ordered Robert Rodriguez, of Albuquerque, to serve three years of supervised release after he gets out of prison. She also ordered him to pay $50,000 restitution to an insurance company.
Rodriguez pleaded guilty in April to arson and conspiracy to commit wire fraud in the 2010 fire that destroyed the hotel. It had served as a favorite gathering place for Wyoming lawmakers for decades before the fire.
Prosecutor Jim Anderson told the judge that Rodriguez's cooperation with investigators was essential in persuading a principal in the company that owned the hotel to plead guilty to related charges last month.

Stadium Antenna Allows High Sectorization for Venues with High Data Capacity
LAS VEGAS, June 16, 2014 /PRNewswire/ --
Galtronics Corporation Ltd., a Baylin Technologies (TSX:BYL) company, has unveiled its newest EXTENT™ D5777i 30/30° narrow beamwidth MIMO panel antenna, which is designed for use in high-capacity venues such as stadiums, arenas, speedways or campuses where excellent wireless coverage is desired. The narrow 30/30° beamwidth allows high sectorization within a venue, enabling RF engineers to design Distributed Antenna Systems (DAS) for even higher data capacities.

Nationals drop season finale to Phillies
Acta hopeful club will show improvement after tough year
WASHINGTON -- Nationals manager Manny Acta decided to start his reserves on Sunday afternoon against the Phillies. The bench players gave it their all, but Washington lost, 8-3, at Citizens Bank Park.
The Nationals finished the season at 59-102 and will get the No. 1 overall pick in the 2009 First-Year Player Draft. Acta didn't waste time telling the media how he felt about the season.
"It was a poor season regardless of whatever happened," Acta said. "Hopefully, we can look back at it and get better next year. We need to make some improvements. It's a not a secret. Hopefully, we can get an impact bat and a couple of arms and go from there. We do have a lot of young guys here. Some of them showed what they can do. Hopefully, we have a few pieces."
Starter Odalis Perez started for the Nationals and had flu-like symptoms before the game started, but decided to gut it out. He was given a 3-1 lead after 3 1/2 innings, thanks to RBI hits by Kory Casto and Alberto Gonzalez, but Philadelphia came back against Perez in the bottom of the fourth. So Taguchi highlighted the scoring with a two-run single before Perez left the game because of his illness.
Perez started feeling worse by the second inning, when he told trainer Lee Kuntz that he was feeling dizzy. By the fourth inning, Perez couldn't go any further.
Perez, who finished the season 7-12 with a 4.34 ERA, believes he did a good job and wants to come back to the Nationals. He is expected to file for free agency.
"If the team gives me another opportunity next year or the next two years, I'll be happy to do it," Perez said. "I think I did well. I feel more comfortable. I would love to come back."
The Phillies put the season finale out of reach in the eighth when Lou Marson and Matt Stairs hit back-to-back home runs.
The highlight for Nationals was in the top of the third, when rookie catcher Luke Montz hit his first career homer.

(November 2012) Fortnightly's annual rate case survey is designed to give readers a look at rates of retur
Rethinking ROE
Rational estimates lead to reasonable valuations.
When setting returns on equity, regulators might be doing the right thing, but for the wrong reason. The U.S. Supreme Court in 1923 established that regulators should set rates of return that sustain investor confidence in the integrity of the utility, and that enable the utility to maintain its credit standing so it can raise the funds necessary to provide service to its customers. 1 Regulators seem to be meeting these pragmatic requirements. The problem arises from the manner in which regulators arrive at the authorized returns.
This isn't a problem in the rate case per se , as the Court has also said that the end result of the process is what's important, and not the method used to set rates of return. 2 However, consequences of a faulty process manifest themselves elsewhere, and with critical impact. An incorrect cost of equity estimate makes it impossible to derive accurate financial valuation estimates.
Failure to understand the actual situation in this regard could cause executives and regulators to make serious valuation errors when analyzing utility resources. Those errors could cost utility investors billions of dollars.
Fallacy of Common Practice
Many rate-of-return witnesses suggest that in principle a utility's cost of equity (k) can be estimated by the following formula, or by a multi-stage variant of it:
k = dividend yield + nominal GDP growth rate forecast.
The typical utility dividend yield today is about 4.5 percent; long-range annual GDP growth forecasts currently lie in the 5 to 6 percent range. Adding the two components produces a utility cost of equity estimate of about 10 percent, and regulatory decisions match that model result quite closely; the industry's median authorized return on equity in 2010 was 10.2 percent. 3 Who could argue with such a straightforward process, especially since it's so widely used?
However, the fact that this is a popular procedure isn't compelling. Appeal to common practice is a logical fallacy, one that offers no support for the proposition at hand. As logic scholars teach:
If one understands the true relationship between GDP growth and utility growth potential, and if one embraces the essential nature of the cost of equity concept, a 10 percent utility cost of equity estimate is too high to be reasonable. No rational investor would expect utility growth to come close to GDP growth over the long run, and therefore the commonly used model is flawed.
Furthermore, corporate finance officers suggest that the cost of equity for the typical U.S. corporation today is only about 8 percent. The finance literature provides similar results. If that's the case, again utility costs of equity can't be 10 percent.
A 10 percent figure nevertheless is likely in the range of reasonableness for the return-on-equity measure, which is the variable that matters in the rate case. Under proper regulation, one that replicates the results observed in competitive markets, the return on equity should lie above the cost of equity.

Volunteer Build Kicks Off Three-Year Commitment to Los Angeles and Shines Spotlight on Affordable Housing Needs
LOS ANGELES (October 29, 2007) – Nearly one in five of Los Angeles County's 10 million residents live in poverty and the median cost of a home far exceeds the majority of the population's reach. The statistics are staggering and the crisis is very real. To address the region's lack of affordable housing, Los Angeles was chosen as the host city for Habitat for Humanity's Jimmy Carter Work Project 2007 (www.habitat.org [1]). Yesterday, former U.S. President and Nobel Peace Prize winner Jimmy Carter and his wife, Rosalynn, joined city and state officials and volunteers from around the world to kick off the 24th Jimmy Carter Work Project (www.jcwpla.org [2]). The project is an intensive week-long build that takes place in a different location around the world each year.
"The first step to solving the affordable housing crisis in Los Angeles and throughout the world is to bring attention to the problem and ask concerned citizens to confront the issue," said President Carter. "Rosalynn and I are pleased to be in Los Angeles this week with thousands of Habitat volunteers and supporters to raise both walls and awareness of the power we each have to create significant change in communities throughout Los Angeles, our country, and the world."
Habitat's Jimmy Carter Work Project is extraordinary by its very concept: over the course of five days, thousands of volunteers will help low-income families take a giant step forward toward the dream of securing homeownership. As part of the Jimmy Carter Work Project, 100 houses will be built or rehabilitated by the end of this year. This is also the first Jimmy Carter Work Project to seek LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) certification for the build from the U.S. Green Building Council, making the homes more sustainable and affordable for the partner families. Thirty new Habitat homes will be built at two sites in South Los Angeles and San Pedro, and an additional 70 homes belonging to low-income families will be rehabilitated this week and through the end of the year in conjunction with Habitat for Humanity of Greater Los Angeles' "A Brush with Kindness" program (www.habitatla.org [3]). This program is designed to help homeowners make repairs on homes they are not able to maintain due to physical or financial reasons.
An opening ceremony, held near one of the project's build sites located in San Pedro, added fanfare to the event, with festivities celebrating volunteers and partner families. President Carter was joined by many of California's civic leaders, who are committed to addressing the serious problems experienced by families living in substandard housing, including cost burden, overcrowding and compromised health. Participants and supporters included: Gov. Schwarzenegger, First Lady Maria Shriver, Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa, Congresswomen Maxine Waters and Jane Harman, Los Angeles City Council members Janice Hahn, Bill Rosendahl, and Eric Garcetti, and Los Angeles City Attorney Rocky Delgadillo. Emceed by Paige Hemmis ("Extreme Makeover: Home Edition"), other participants and supporters of the Jimmy Carter Work Project include country musician Garth Brooks, musician Trisha Yearwood, Blair Underwood ("Dirty Sexy Money" and "LA Law"), Lowe's NASCAR and ALMS driver Adrian
Fernandez, Patricia Heaton ("Back to You" and "Everybody Loves Raymond"), Scott Foley ("The Unit" and "Felicity"), Amaury Nolasco ("Prison Break"), Nathalia Ramos ("Bratz") and Glynn Turman ("The Wire" and "A Different World").
"I am proud to welcome Habitat for Humanity's Jimmy Carter Work Project to Los Angeles," said Los Angeles Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa. "Homelessness and the lack of affordable housing are not just problems in the world's poorest countries; they afflict people in the wealthiest cities and nations. We are excited about the positive impact that this international work project will have on our communities by increasing the supply of affordable housing in our city. Great things are possible when we work together to address these issues."
The work that will be highlighted this week jump starts Habitat for Humanity of Greater Los Angeles' "Building a Greater Los Angeles" campaign (www.habitatla.org/our_projects [4]), a three-year commitment to build an additional 150 homes throughout Los Angeles County after the Jimmy Carter Work Project is completed. The campaign, co-chaired by Gov. Schwarzenegger and Mayor Villaraigosa, incorporates ongoing programs and events to provide tangible solutions to the region's affordable housing crisis.
In a special appearance by Grammy award-winner Ricky Martin at the program, he said, "I am honored to continue my involvement with Habitat for Humanity by being here with you tonight. This is the start of an incredible campaign that will touch the lives of 250 families in the next three years, as well as the lives of all of us who are privileged enough to be a part of it. I have already been blessed with the opportunity of meeting and working alongside Habitat for Humanity families as we built dreams together… many more dreams will come true this week as the result of the hard work of everyone here tonight."
At the kick-off, Habitat for Humanity International's CEO Jonathan Reckford thanked the organization's many partners for their support and tireless efforts to make Habitat's Jimmy Carter Work Project successful and provide low-income families with safe, affordable housing.
"It is an honor to bring Habitat for Humanity's highest-profile annual event to Los Angeles. It will not only help families in this community, but also send the message that safe, affordable housing is an important part of a family's security and well-being, no matter what location they call home," said Reckford. "We have been a leader in developing affordable housing and taking the initiative to ensure our homes are both affordable and sustainable, and we are proud to have taken steps to build affordable housing with cost-savings and ease of upkeep for families."
Erin Rank, Habitat for Humanity of Greater Los Angeles' President and CEO, brought the area's need for affordable housing into sharp focus in discussing the reasons for the organization's three-year "Building a Greater Los Angeles" campaign.
"Today, the median income of renter households in Los Angeles is about $35,500, while the median price for a home is approximately $549,000, making decent, affordable housing all but out of reach for hard working people of modest means," said Rank. "Additionally, less than three percent of new units built in Los Angeles County are considered affordable housing. These are statistics we want to change, and we hope to unify Los Angeles residents to actively engage in a solution to the affordable housing crisis in this area through the Jimmy Carter Work Project and 'Building a Greater Los Angeles' campaign."
The campaign has already implemented multiple programs that target people from all walks of life to become proactive on this issue. Specifics of the campaign include the "A Brush with Kindness" program, which will rehabilitate homes for low-income families (www.habitatla.org/abwk [5]); "Nickels for Nails," which engages young people in community service projects to fund and build a home that is 100 percent sponsored by youth (www.habitatla.org/youth_programs [6]); sponsorship of a recent housing symposium that brought together community leaders to address Los Angeles-area housing issues; and additional outreach, education, volunteer and fundraising initiatives.
Habitat for Humanity of Greater Los Angeles is among a growing number of Habitat for Humanity affiliates incorporating building elements that improve the affordability and sustainability for home owners and the communities in which they live.

McCloud Rails
Front Page Photo
Another look back into the archives...locomotives #14, #20, and #21 are leading a log train, probably somewhere near Pondosa. From the T.E. Glover collection
|The northeastern corner of California is dominated by the 14,162' tall peak of Mt. Shasta. Nestled on the southeastern flank of the mountain is the small former company town of McCloud. Since 1897 McCloud has been the base of operations for an independent shortline railroad company, originally known as the McCloud River Railroad Company. The McCloud River survived many ups and down for 95 years before disappearing at the end of June in 1992. The new McCloud Railway Company took over on 1 July of that year, and it has continued service over the line to the present day.
This website seeks to document the life and times of the rail lines owned and operated by three principle companies in the life of McCloud, the McCloud River Lumber Company, the McCloud River Railroad Company, and the McCloud Railway Company.This site is not sponsored by nor affiliated in any way with the McCloud River Railroad Company, the McCloud Railway Company, 4-Rails Inc., the Shasta Sunset Dinner Train, or any other affiliated organizations.

Kenny Cooper's days with the Portland Timbers are, apparently, over. The forward has been traded to the New York Red Bulls in exchange for a first-round pick next year and allocation money, according the Fox Soccer.
Cooper came to the Timbers with much fanfare at the start of last year. But after a good start in which he scored three goals in his first seven matches, he cooled off considerably. At one point, Cooper went 14 matches without a goal and actually found himself coming off the bench for five games in the middle of the season. Cooper did manage to finish stronger, bagging eight goals on the season, but many had already soured on him and the team had been rumored to be trying to move his rather large contract for some time.
Where Cooper will fit in with the Red Bulls is not entirely clear. Cooper would seem to make an odd pairing with Thierry Henry and he is making too much money just to come off the bench.
For more on this trade, be sure to visit Red Bulls blog Once a Metro and Timbers blog Stumptown Footy.

As you ponder your resolutions for the new year, take a few minutes to consider this advice from Nick Petrie, a faculty member at the Center for Creative Leadership:
"We need to treat our mindsets like we do other possessions and have an occasional clean out," Petrie wrote in a recent column for Forbes.com. "Every five years we need to ask ourselves, 'What beliefs and ideas have I accumulated over the last five years that are no longer working for me?' If you want to grow and change and innovate faster – do this clearing of the mental cobwebs more often."
Before we start adding to our mammoth to-do lists, Petrie suggests that we actually subtract from them. The implications for our New Year's resolutions are refreshing. Instead of focusing as we traditionally do on the new things we are going to do, we're better served by giving serious thought to what we should stop doing.
That list will of course be highly personal for each of us. But, just to get those mental juices flowing, we have a few suggestions for where to start.
Stop feeding your ambition: There's a great temptation as we focus on doing better at doing good to confuse activity with results. We take on so many things and spread ourselves so thin that we can't do anything well. When Steve Jobs returned to Apple after his first stint as a CEO, he did the opposite and slashed the sprawling roster of products Apple was developing down to just a handful. It freed up time and imagination to focus on new ideas and technologies. We know the rest of that story.
Closer to home, a few years ago, United Way of Central Carolinas in Charlotte found itselfwith dozens of programs, an unengaged board of directors and chronic funding problems. The solution: narrowing its programmatic focus down to just a few core areas and reducing its board from nearly 70 members to about 20. The result: a significant fundraising rebound and greater impact in the community. Ask yourself: What should my three or four key areas of focus be?
Stop seeking balance: Among the greatest myths in American culture is the holy grail of work-life balance. We all want it. But how many people do you know who actually possess it for more than a day or two? Dividing our lives into two, big, constantly conflicting spheres only leads to frustration and disappointment.
We can try instead to integrate our work and personal lives by exploring our personality, our preferred working style and our values – and realizing that there's not an objective standard for what success looks like. Rather than seeking balance, we can come to appreciate the ebb and flow between our work and personal lives that provides greater satisfaction. The Center for Creative Leadership has a new tool, the Work-Life Indicator (found on www.ccl.org) that might prove helpful for the journey.
Stop, literally: A life of perpetual doing, even when we intend to do good, is not sustainable. At some point, we need to make space for reflection on what we've done and what we could do better. Otherwise, we race through our days checking things off lists only to find, as poet T.S. Eliot wrote, that "we had the experience but missed the meaning."
Fortunately, North Carolina abounds with retreat destinations that offer gorgeous settings in which to clear our heads. In Mebane, there's The Stone House and its commitment to nurturing social action. About an hour from Greensboro sits the St. Francis Springs Prayer Center with its emphasis on contemplative living. An hour northeast of Charlotte is the Sacred Grove Retreat Center. Most of us can't spend a week at these places, but even a few hours here and there can make a big difference.
There's still eight days to figure out what to subtract from your life. And with any luck, a year from now you'll be happily making a list of all the things you didn't do in 2013.

McPherson: Beavers cup win can inspire title bid
3:00pm Friday 9th May 2014 in Football By Stuart Amos
Hampton & Richmond Borough chairman Steve McPherson hopes the Beavers' Middlesex Senior Cup win on Saturday is the start of something big.
Co-managers Paul Barry and Darren Powell saw the their side stun runaway Ryman Premier League champions Wealdstone with a 3-2 triumph thanks to Dave Tarpey double and one from midfielder Tom Hickey.
Hampton have upset the odds on a host of occasions in a disappointing league campaign, but it has been against the division's strugglers that the Beveree outfit have come unstuck.
And McPherson reckoned the cup success would give the club a decent platform from which to launch a promotion bid next season.
"What a day. The team were fantastic from start to finish and we are very proud of this win," he said.
"It keeps smiles on faces over the close season, and gives us something to build on to take into next year.
"I'd like to congratulate the players and staff on a wonderful achievement. Hopefully it's just the start."

There have been reports that the Marlins had an offer into Albert Pujols, but until now, there wasn't any word on what that offer might be. Could have been a one-year/$14 million offer. Could have been an offer to check out that new burger place. Some baseball folks were skeptical.
But in an article titled "Is Cy Young winner Verlander a fit for MVP?", Tim Brown of Yahoo! Sports leaves this little tidbit:
The Miami Marlins aren't messing around. Their standing offer to Albert Pujols is believed to be for nine years. With a competitive average annual value (say $25 million), that's $225 million, minimum, and that's more than what the St. Louis Cardinals are believed to have offered in the spring.
Joe Capozzi of the Palm Beach Post mentions the heartwarming tidbit that the contract would cost the Marlins more than their new stadium, which was heavily subsidized by taxpayers. What sort of nerd-child actually wants to learn music, anyways?
Even though the contract offer is believed to be larger than what the Cardinals offered in the spring, it's still in the same general area, so we should probably hold off on pre-writing those Pujols-to-Marlins articles. Still, that's a lot of clams for a franchise that isn't used to spending. Here's a perspective chart:
With One $225 Million Pujols, The Marlins Could Have Bought:
|1.5 Miguel Cabreras
|3.6 Dan Ugglas
|80 Jim Eisenreichs
|100 Andy Foxes
|642 Andy Larkins
Now, 642 Andy Larkins might not appeal to you, but imagine if they were all playing the field at the same time. Chris Volstad's BABIP would be .001. Also, the money that would go to Pujols could be used to invent Andy Larkin-cloning, as well as money to bribe Bud Selig to change the rules of baseball.
The idea of Pujols on the Marlins still hurts the brain, but it might be an idea that we have to get used to.
