SAN ANGELO COLTS: Late Wednesday: Colts' win streak stopped at 6
SAN ANGELO, Texas - The San Angelo Colts' six-game winning streak was snapped Wednesday in a 5-2 loss to the Rio Grande Valley WhiteWings in Harlingen.
Shortstop Landon Camp hit a pair of solo home runs to provide all of the Colts' offense. It was the first game this season that a Colt has hit multiple home runs.
With the game tied at 1-1 entering the third inning, Rio Grande Valley took control by scoring three runs, all with two outs.
Colts starter Mike Hart (3-1) gave up five runs, two earned, on 11 hits in seven innings of work to suffer his first loss.
San Angelo and Rio Grande Valley are now tied for third place in the United League at 21-18. Game 2 of their four-game series continued Thursday.
The Colts' next home game is at 7:05 p.m. July 14 when they host the McAllen Thunder.

Apple has started airing a new advertisement for the iPhone 5c. The ad is called "Plastic Perfected" and it focuses on the colors and materials of the new iPhone model. Much of the advertisement is reminiscent of scenes from Apple's executive promotional video for the device. The iPhone 5c launches this Friday alongside the iPhone 5s.

Here is much better ad of iphone 5S !!!: http://youtu.be/pvb5dzJrWc0
That was boss hog!
Oh my, the plastic is so so, perfect, I wanna see it shot with a 50 cal.
I liked the Apple ad for a change.
if Apple made it out of manure.. they could convince the iSheep it was Myrrh
And thats how you make an ad. Instead of just basing your competition, this one is fantastic. I know apple has done that bashing thing in the past, but i dont see it happening for the past 4 to 5 yrs.

The Nikon Coolpix AW100 is a robust digital camera. It has 16 megapixels and a 5x optical zoom lens. Robust features include being waterproof to depths of 10m, shockproof to falls of 1.5m and freezeproof to -10 degrees centigrade. It has a few extra features compared to other robust models. This includes GPS tracking as well as Full 1080p High Definition movies. It has a solid build and is relatively easy to use.
The Coolpix AW100 has a few extra features when compared to some robust models. Picture quality is good as you might expect from a Nikon digital camera. It handles most photo opportunities and there are no areas where this camera really struggles. Shutter lag is also kept to a minimum.
Megapixels and Zoom
The Coolpix AW100 has 16 megapixels and a 5x zoom lens. The lens has wide angle capabilities with a focal length equivalent to 28 - 140mm in 35mm format.
Robust Features
These are the big attractions of this camera. It is waterproof to 10m, shockproof to falls of 1.5m and freezeproof down to -10 degrees centigrade.
Memory Cards
You can use SD cards with this camera. It is compatible with 3 different types SD, SDHC and SDXC.
Lithium ion battery.
Movie Mode
The Coolpix AW100 is capable of recording Full 1080p High Definition movies.
LCD Screen
The LCD screen is 3 inches in size.
Shooting Modes
There are a number of pre programmed scene modes available to you. These are Back Light, Beach, Black and White Copy, Close Up, Dusk/Dawn, Fireworks Show, Food, Landscape, Museum, Night Landscape, Night Portrait, Panorama, Party/Indoor, Pet Portrait, Portrait, Snow, Sports, Sunset and Underwater.
Macro Mode
For close up work the Coolpix AW100 can focus from 1cm away from your subject.
Panoramic Shots
Nikon have added an Easy Panorama mode. When you place the camera in this mode you can spin through a 180 degree or 360 degree arc and the camera will automatically build a panoramic shot.
Image Stabilisation
Image stabilisation helps to negate any picture blur caused by not being able to hold the camera completely still. It comes into its own when you are taking photographs in lowlight.
GPS Tracking and Compass
If you are on holiday or at a location that is new to you GPS tracking can be turned on and your images can be stamped with where you are in the world. There is also a compass and world map available.
High Speed Burst Mode
There is a burst mode capable of shooting at speeds of up to 7.1 frames per second. It is a little limited as it is only capable of firing off three shots at this speed.
Picture Quality Summary
Overall picture quality is good. It is only when you look at some of the images nearing full size that you will start to see issues. Unless you are planning to make seriously large prints this should not be much of an issue. If you are planning to make extra large prints you are likely to be looking at higher quality and more expensive digital cameras any way.
Outdoor Scenic Shot 1
Colours and brightness are captured well. From this picture you can tell the Coolpix AW100 can handle more challenging snapshot situations. There is some loss of detail from the lightest areas of the shot and sharpness does slip a few degrees away from the centre.
Outdoor Scenic Shot 2
Nikon have opted to go for a lens that is not as extreme as others when it comes to the width of the scene being fitted into the picture. The advantage of this is that the overall picture quality of the test shot is higher than the more extreme lenses usually offer. The most noticeable difference is the levels of sharpness being maintained as you reach the edges of the picture.
Outdoor Scenic Shot 3
Zooming in seems to place the lens under a bit more pressure. The result is mildly disappointing with sharpness dropping away from the centre of the shot. It will depend on the print size you choose as to whether or not this will present much of a problem. If you keep your prints to a reasonable size picture quality is likely to be quite acceptable.
Outdoor Building
This is the best of the first four tests. Sharpness is maintained across the picture as the camera is able to lock focus on to the building. There is a hint or two of detail being lost in the lighter areas where the sun catches the building, but you would have to be making extra large prints before this became an issue.
Outdoor Portrait
The outdoor portrait shot looks good to me. It has a natural look to it. One of the key points is that the Coolpix AW100 gets the exposure levels right. This means there are good levels of colour in the face and it avoids any washed out look.
Indoor Portrait With Flash
Getting the balance right between too much light and not enough is a difficult job for most compact digital cameras. They tend to fire off a blast of fairly harsh light that hits the face, but does not illuminate much away from the centre. That is what happens here to a degree. The face receives enough light, but there is not enough light available for the hair. This gives it a bit of a dull look.
Indoor Portrait Without Flash
Working in natural light the camera just about manages to focus and keep noise to an acceptable level. You are likely to need to use flash in most indoor settings unless lighting is very bright.
Although the specification states the Coolpix AW100 is capable of focusing from 1cm I found it difficult to get the camera to focus from really close in. This camera is still capable of decent macro shots, but you may have to work very hard to get the extreme close ups that the specification suggests this camera is capable of.
The colours are punchy and the photos are bright. That is a combination I am used to seeing from Nikon.
Whether you call it noise or not picture quality does tend to fall in places. When this happens areas of the photos take on a hazy look. This is more noticeable in shady areas.
Olympus TG-820 Rating 83/100
There are a number of robust digital cameras with similar features and general qualities. The Olympus TG-820 is priced a little lower than most of its direct competitors, so if you are looking for a good quality, robust digital camera and you would like to keep a few pounds in your pocket then this camera could well be the one for you.
Read Review: Olympus TG-820 Review
Nikon Coolpix AW100 Rating 82/100
The Nikon Coolpix AW100 is up against some stiff competition. It does a decent job, has a good range of features and can handle plenty of different photo opportunities. It may not possess a knock out blow that marks it out as clearly better than its rivals, but it is good enough to make your shortlist if you are looking for a more advanced robust digital camera.
Read Review: Nikon Coolpix AW100 Review
Canon Powershot D10 Rating 82/100
The Powershot D10 has a distinctive, fun look that means it will not get mistaken for any other digital camera. It has a number of robust features and is waterproof, shockproof and freezeproof to varying degrees. It takes a good snap and is well worth a close look.

The Nikon Coolpix AW100 is up against some strong competition. It does a decent job, has a good range of features and can handle plenty of different photo opportunities.

General Handling
The Coolpix AW100 is that bit bigger than a true pocket camera. This gives you more room when you are looking to get a good grip of the camera. On the back of the camera there is plenty of room to place your thumb with a special dimpled area available. This helps you to get a steady hold of the camera.
The lens is positioned in the top corner. This can take a little getting used to when it comes to ensuring you keep stray fingers out of the way when taking a picture.
Flash Positioning
The flash unit is position centrally towards the top of the camera. This is away from fingers, so there is no real danger of blocking out flash light.
LCD Screen Quality
LCD screen quality is good. You should find the screen easy enough to see. It is a good sized and the Nikon menu system is well laid out and easy to read.
Turn on Time and Shutter Delay
Shutter lag times are impressive. If there is one area where the Coolpix AW100 beats its competitors it is speed of operation when flash is being used. In my tests this camera turned out to be one of the faster compacts.
Design, Build Quality and Finish
Robust digital cameras tend to look a little different to most digital cameras and the Coolpix AW100 is no different. The build quality appears to be good and the camera certainly has a solid feel in the hand. The camera has a matt finish.
Action Button
On the left hand side of the Coolpix AW100 is an action button. This comes in handy is you are operating the camera while using gloves. When you press the button a menu pops up with a small set of options such as selecting a scene mode, shooting a movie or reviewing images. You can then select the option you want through a combination of tapping the camera and pressing the action button. You may only use this button now and again, but you may find it useful from time to time.
Camera Controls
On the top of the camera are the on / off and shutter buttons. On the side of the camera is the action button mentioned above. On the other side of the camera is a door to the memory card and battery compartment. This has a lock mechanism.
The back of the camera is home to a standard set of buttons and controls. At the top are buttons to zoom in and out. Underneath those is the movie recording button. Further down are two buttons. These give you access to the shooting mode and to review your photos. Next is the main control area hosting buttons to set flash, exposure compensation, place the camera in macro mode, set the self timer and confirm a setting. Finally there are buttons to access the menu system and delete unwanted images.
Nikon keep things simple in the menu system. The main shooting menu has 6 options, the movie menu has 5 options and the set up area 18 options.

The Washington Nationals released 43-year-old pinch-hitter Matt Stairs today, which might mean his career is over. That would be an absolute shame, though, because if one of 18 teams picks him up, he'll take over the all-time lead for most teams played on. Right now, he's tied with Mike Morgan, Ron Villone, and Octavio Dotel(!), all of whom have played for twelve different teams.↵
And if you ever wanted to know what every uniform Stairs wore looked like, go nuts.

The staff were excellent and it was very much appreciated that we were located within the same building as our Daughter and family. Great location with good parking. If the our bedroom had been at the front of the building it could have been noisy.
Given the staff rating of the Hotel we would have expected a bigger and more comfortable bed with better quality linen. We were on the top floor and a lift would have been useful particularly for our bagsSlightly surprised that it comprised a number of buildings (four I believe) that were not interlinked.

Bed sizes, staff, cost, cleanliness
Room was a bit too warm at night, kept waking up. Would have preferred the air con to be a bit cooler.Everything was great with the hotel. However, two of the taxi cab drivers ordered from the hotel were very rude. When we complained we were told 'who cares it's not like you're going to see us again, you're only here for the weekend.' I think the management of the hotel should be aware that these cab drivers are talking to hotel customers in such a bad manner.

Interior design was very nice and surprisingly upscale. Rooms had very nice amenities, such as a rain shower, heated towel racks, fridge, and microwave. Free and fast WIFI, too.
Hotel is in need of some upkeep, especially for a place that is aiming to present itself as upscale -- e.g. small but visible water stain in the ceiling of our room and some other minor upkeep issues. Nothing unclean or dangerous though.This hotel is directly across the street from a large sports stadium (where Newcastle United play). We were not there during a game or large event, so we didn't have to contend with large crowds or anything like that. But this might be something to keep in mind if you are staying here.

The No.2 Shadyside Tigers will play for the Division 7 Region 25 title next Saturday night after eliminating Caldwell 30-6 in New Philly.
The Tigers (12-0) will play No.1 Glouster Trimble (12-0) next Saturday at 7.
Junior running back Eric Howell ran for 157 yards and two scores on 33 carries. Classmate Austin Dorris added 100 yards on the ground with a touchdown. The 6-4 signal caller carried the ball 11 times.
Caldwell's one score was a Tanner Clark short, touchdown run. The Redskins finished the best season in school history at 9-3.
Trimble held off Steubenville Central 27-22 at Zanesville's Sulsberger Stadium. A late turnover, while the Crusaders were driving, was the final mistake which ended the season. The Tomcats ran out the clock.
Crusaders senior quarterback Brenton Colabella concluded his brilliant career with virtually every school passing record, and completed 9-of-20 passes for 231 yards and two touchdowns. Khalil Jones had a rushing and receiving touchdown for the Crusaders, who finished the season at 9-3.

Two people shot
ROWLETT — Police in Rowlett are investigating a violent crime they are calling "bizarre."
Two people were shot Sunday afternoon and detectives are looking for two others.
The Christiansens saw it all unfold on the other side of the 9300 block of Shearer Street. They said a man and woman walked up to their neighbor's door.
"They were kicking it in viciously," Joan Christiansen said.
Neighbors heard a lot of yelling between the couple and two men in the residence, and two children were also inside.
"There was an altercation; a pretty good battle going on inside," said Rowlett police spokesman Sgt. Dean Poos.
Police say furniture was turned over. Christiansen said the fight moved from inside to outside on the lawn, and the yelling continued.
"She goes, 'Kill them all!' She said, 'Kill them all!'" Christiansen recalled.
By then, neighbors said someone in the home pulled out a gun. Neighbors reported hearing around five shots.
Police said the man and woman who came to the house were hit. As police tended to them, they claimed to be victims of a robbery.
"It's a matter now of trying to figure out what story is the accurate story of the two we have," Sgt. Poos said.
Police are still looking for two men; they believe one of them lived in the house on Shearer Street.
Police said a gun was found in an area a block away from the home.
"It's scary, it's very scary," said neighborhood resident Janet Harris. "You don't want people to treat each other this way."
The man man who was shot suffered multiple wounds in the abdomen, and was airlifted to Parkland Memorial Hospital in Dallas for treatment. He underwent surgery on Sunday evening.
The woman, who was shot in the shoulder, was treated for her injury and released.

An overnight crash saw a car strike a dry cleaning business.
The owner of Capitol Cleaners on North Main Street told CBS 3 that he got a call about the accident around 2:30 a.m.
It appeared the vehicle jumped the curb and slid down into the building, taking out a post, chipping away some of the concrete and causing several cracks.
The driver did not appear to be injured in the collision.

A hearing on defense motions related to inappropriate behavior by two trainee court security officers during the trial of former north suburban Gurnee fugitive Sandra Lopez has been scheduled for Feb. 5.
The two former trainees, who lost their jobs due to the incidents, testified as to their actions earlier this month under a judge's order after defense attorney Christopher Lombardo filed a motion for a new trial due to their actions, the Lake County News-Sun is reporting.
A sentencing date for Lopez is still pending, after she was convicted last fall of charges related to violent Beach Park home invasion. She remains in Lake County Jail without bond.
The former officers confirmed in their testimony that one had left his phone number in a sack lunch of an alternate juror he was interested in getting to know, and a second had approached Lopez's daughter, a witness in the trial, and asked her to give his phone number to one of her friends that he found attractive.
The Lake County Sheriff's Office conducted an investigation into the incidents before the trainees were fired.
Lombardo has said the actions of the trainees raise doubts about the procedures during the trial and questions about whether any other improprieties occurred. Prosecutors have acknowledged the officers' behavior was inappropriate, but maintain it did not affect the trial or its outcome.
Lopez was convicted on three counts of home invasion and two counts of armed robbery by the jury in October, and had been scheduled for sentencing Dec. 18 before the issues involving the security officers came up.
Lopez, who fled the country for El Salvador after being charged in the 1999 home invasion, was found to have inflicted a knife injury to one of the two victims in the case.
According to officials and testimony at the trial, Lopez, 43, planned and helped carry out the armed robbery of two women in a Park City home, stabbing one in the hand and using duct tape to bind them before making off with jewelry.
In a separate 1995 case, Lopez was found not guilty of murder charges in the stabbing death of her husband in his Highwood restaurant.

Educational Excursions
Please note that in order to take advantage of dynamic learning opportunities, program excursions may occasionally vary.
The France: Language, Community, and Social Change program has two excursions each semester, an 8- to 10-day excursion to Tunisia and a shorter excursion to a rural county in France. Excursions provide students with the opportunity to examine the program's themes in different settings.
Learn about the intricacies of memory, home, belonging, and uprootedness as you examine the complex ties between North African immigrant communities in France and their country of origin.
The program will travel to Tunisia to enlarge students' understanding of the enduring impact of French colonial legacy in North Africa and the transformations of postcolonial consciousness in the aftermath of the Arab Spring. The program will take advantage of the networks and contacts SIT Study Abroad already has in Tunisia.
Students will visit media outlets such as a French-broadcasting radio station and the headquarters of a daily Tunisian newspaper that publishes in French. Students will also attend lectures on the pedagogy of Francophone culture and tour Tunis medina, Carthage archaeological park, and Le Bardo Museum.
Students will then go on an excursion throughout the interior and southern regions of the country to examine the social and economic causes of immigration and meet community leaders and associations involved in youth awareness.
Some of the issues examined during the excursion may include:
- Francophone and postcolonial cultures
- Youth, employment, and migration
- Community service and illegal immigration
- Impact of mass tourism on Sahara and oasis culture and society
- Post-revolution NGOs and advocacy groups
- Moderate Islam and modern democracy
Students will have the opportunity to study some of the causes of migration among Tunisian youth and the persistent influence of French in school curricula, media institutions, urban lifestyles, and the public sphere. They will also learn about how the Arab Spring has generated a revival in the engagement of the North African immigrant community in France with the country of origin and will get a unique hands-on opportunity to assess the reality of a place many continue to leave in search of a European "El Dorado."
Lecturers may be drawn from institutions such as L'Université de Tunis, l'Université de la Manouba, the Cross-Cultural Dialogue Research Group, Société Civile Orient-Occident (OROC), and Centre d'Etudes Maghrébines à Tunis (CEMAT).
Accommodations during the 8- to 10-day excursion may include hostels, research institutes, or small hotels.
Rural France
On the excursion to a rural county in France, students discover a variety of landscapes in France and learn about the cultural differences between regions. Students examine the role and place of agriculture in the French economy, the development of organic farming in France, and the alternative activities farmers have developed in recent years to protect their livelihoods. Excursions are typically three days.Excursions take place either in Lot or Aveyron.
Lot (Spring Semester)
Excursion sites typically include medieval cliffside villages and prehistoric painted caves. Excursions underscore seminar themes by providing students with concrete demonstrations of France's complex history and diversity.
Aveyron (Fall Semester)
Excursion sites typically include Templar castles and cheese caves. Excursions underscore seminar themes by providing students with concrete demonstrations of France's complex history and diversity.
*Please note: This excursion could be modified or replaced by an alternate location within France — to Ariège in the fall and the Pyrénées Orientales in the spring.
Duration: 15 weeks
Program Base: Toulouse
Language Study: French
Prerequisites: 1 semester of French or 2 semesters of another Romance language, as assessed by SIT. Read more...

Amid all the bills that did not pass the House Thursday, one did. The Medical Amnesty Bill.
Representative Schoen, co-author of the bill, says he helped push it through the House because he does not want young people who partake in underage drinking to stop themselves from reporting a medical emergency, just to stay out of trouble. The bill would waive the $120 underage drinking ticket for young people who call 911 to report an alcohol related medical emergency or assault.
"The bottom line is people make bad choices, we all have," explains Representative Dan Schoen (Cottage Grove-DFL) as one of the reasons for co-authoring the bill.
The Medical Amnesty Bill passed in the House Thursday by a majority vote 124-8.
"We need kids to be able to understand that it's okay to ask for help," stated Rep. Schoen.
University of Minnesota graduate, Taylor Williams, a University of Minnesota Junior, and Matt Forstie, a University of Minnesota Junior are behind the bill's creation.
"Students when in underage drinking situations are uncertain if they should get medical help because of the fear of a state prosecution or getting a fine," Williams stated.
Forstie says another big push for the bill is to encourage young people to speak out against sexual assault. The U of M junior believes the amnesty will make young people who survive an alcohol related sexual assault less hesitant to actually report the incident to police. "You never know when a 911 call is going to save a life."
According to the University of Minnesota Office of Student Affairs, less than 5% of college rape survivors report their assault to police. The aurora center reports approximately 500 men and 1,300 women experience unwanted sexual contact at the U every year. This is of reported instances.
"We also don't wait for young people to wait until they've sobered up before reporting a sexual assault because time is of the essence," said Williams.
The Medical Amnesty Bill would also protect underage callers reporting on behalf of a friend, who have had a drink or two themselves.
"If you're that underage person and… the caller for a friend and you've also been drinking, that amnesty extends to you because you had the good heart to ask for help," noted Rep. Schoen.
There are those that disagree with Schoen. Representative Tony Albright (55B-R), released this statement to FOX 9 regarding the bill:
"I believe state government should be promoting the laws we have in place regarding alcohol consumption. I'm uncomfortable with condoning this type of behavior on college campuses and I worry what message it sends. This is about encouraging safe communities and safe institutions for our kids, this sends a mixed signal to these young people during a critical juncture in their lives."
Yet and still, Schoen and Williams insist, the bill would not create a get out of jail free card for underage drinkers.
"They have to call 911 and request help, police can't show up at a house party and have someone tell them oh I need help now," said Schoen sternly.
"[The bill] will save lives. I think it's extremely important that this bill passes," nodded Williams.
The Medical Amnesty Bill hits the Senate floor for a vote on Saturday.

So an idea occurred to a friend and I this summer on a run about town. What if we held an event, such as a 5K in Lyons? We could follow it by cocktails. Mimosas seemed natural as 5K's are usually a morning event. This event would not only celebrate the end of summer, the kiddos headed back to school, but also a charitable cause. Thus the Mimosa Day 5K was born. I am proud to report that the event attracted well over sixty women last Saturday, and a fabulous post-party at the Lyons Fork. For an event, which I had

This administration is completely out of control, especially in trying to enact this type of bill. The title of this bill is very misleading and has nothing in the world to do with food safety and has everything to do with the control of our food production and supply. This is very scary indeed and to think our government reps are dumb enough to even consider this is just incomprehensible.

One of the worse bills to come around in the past 6-months. If you support this in any way shape or form, you are uninformed, can't read or are a paid blogger.

- Like ObamaCare, we need to sign the bill to see what will happen
- So the big guys will be exempt from the bill while it crushes little farms.
Just pass the dang thing already. Small farmers now have protections under the amendment, which is beautiful.
The only real opposition is coming from mega farms who are afraid they might have to play by the rules.
I'm also tired of all the scare tactics and conspiracy theories being pushed onto people about an otherwise harmless bill.
Do it, and let's get on to creating some jobs and making a fairer tax structure and becoming energy independent and.. oh god, we're running out of time..!

I see nothing but food safety and the ability to require a food recall in this.
- Sxeptomaniac 12/07/2010 7:47am
And that's all it is. Unfortunately, a lot of people showed up to this page with their tin foil hats on, I think. I'm all for looking at how a bill could be abused, but there has to a reasonable way this could be expected to happen (something that the paranoid have failed to explain).
You are an ill-informed person who has not a clue what you are talking about please read comment below to know the facts as to what the FDA has already done to kill many with slow death from chronic illness because of their so called food safety!! They are not nutritiousness and have no business in the food safety BUSINESS. Which is what the FDA is a Business they fast track for Big Pharam for money. If you do not know what fast tracking is then you are the one with the dunce hat on!
Yes I did and if this bill was so great why did they sneak it in under HR 3082. For a minute put on your thinking cap on and all the FDA would have to do is issue a false recall to ruin a small business as they do FAST TRACK for money for BIG PHARMA that has already caused deaths. A false recall could and would destroy a company allowing them to be scooped up by Big Corp. and BIG AGGI. This bill is over reaching the FDA already makes recalls a forced one is unconstitutional.
I don't deal in conspiracy theory, I deal in what it says in the bill. I would rather have an over zealous recall than waiting on one and having miscarried babies from listeria, death from e coli and salmonella.
Oh and please stop randomly capitalizing words. It doesn't help.
- Sxeptomaniac 12/14/2010 6:57am
Nice conspiracy theory; however, it is unconvincing for people who prefer to use tin foil to wrap food instead of as headgear. You've not given any reason why the FDA would be motivated to make fake recalls.
Big ag and big pharma are already (hence the name) BIG. Fake recalls on small productions would be like using a sledgehammer to swat flies. They might take down some competitors, but they'd do huge damage to the market in the process by drawing attention to any corrupt dealings, and there are too many for recalls to be effective. Meanwhile, one recall is a huge loss for those big companies, because so much of their product goes through only a few processing plants.
Being called uninformed by a conspiracy theorist is not an insult. It just means I made some moderately insightful comments that he/she can't figure out how to refute.
Example of what lobbyist money can do-!!!
It is supposed to be a safeguard for food quality – what it REALLY is is just another layer of government control at the expense of the people. It puts the small & organic farmer in a precari…ous place- and give the FDA too much authority . These guys @ the FDA do not have a clue about nutrition – they are still talking the " lowfat' lipid theory that has fueled obesity , cancer, diabetes , arthritis etc by removing the traditional fatty acids and fat soluble vitamins from our diets.
In my book we need to be headed in the opposite direction from the FDA to stay healthy—
Examples-Myth:Heart disease in America is caused by consumption of cholesterol and saturated fat from animal products.
Truth: During the period of rapid increase in heart disease(1920-1960) American consumption of animal fats declined but consumption of hydrogenated and industrially processed vegetable fats increased dramatically.(USDA-HNI)
Myth:Saturated fat clogs arteries.
Truth: The fatty acids found in artery clogs are mostly unsaturated (74%) of which 41% are polyunsaturated.(Lancet 1994 344:1195)
Myth: Vegetarianism is healthy.
Truth: The annual all-cause death rate of vegetarian men is slightly more than that of non-vegetarian men (.93% vs .89%); the annual death rate of vegetarian women is significantly more than that of non-vegetarian women (.86%vs.54%) (Am J Clin Nutr 1982 36:873)
Myth: Vitamin B12 can be obtained from certain plant sources such as blue-green algae and soy products.
Truth: Vitamin B12 is not absorbed from plant sources. Modern soy products increase the body's need for B12.(Soybeans:Chemistry & Technology Vol 1 1972)
Myth: For good health, serum cholesterol should be less than 180 mg/dl.
Truth: The all-cause death rate is higher in individuals with cholesterol levels lower than 180 mg/dl (Circulation 1992 86:3:1026-1029)
Myth: Animal fats cause cancer and heart disease.
Truth: Animal fats contain many nutrients that protect against cancer and heart disease; elevated rates of cancer and heart disease are associated with consumption of large amounts of vegetable oils.(Fed Proc July 1978 37:2215)
Myth: Children benefit from a low-fat diet.
Truth: Children on low-fat diets suffer from growth problems, failure to thrive & learning disabilities.(Food Chem News 10/3/94)
Myth: A low-fat diet will make you "feel better and increase your joy of living."
Truth: Low-fat diets are associated with increased rates of depression, psychological problems, fatigue, violence and suicide.(Lancet 3/21/92 v339)
Myth: To avoid heart disease, we should use margarine instead of butter.
Truth: Margarine eaters have twice the rate of heart disease as butter eaters.(Nutrition Week 3/22/91 21:12)
Myth: Americans do not consume enough essential fatty acids.
Truth: Americans consume far too much of one kind of EFA (omega-6 EFAs found in most polyunsaturated vegetable oils) but not enough of another kind of EFA (omega-3 EFAs found in fish, fish oils, eggs from properly fed chickens, dark green vegetables and herbs, and oils from certain seeds such as flax and chia, nuts such as walnuts and in small amounts in all whole grains.)(Am J Clin Nutr 1991 54:438-63)
Myth:A vegetarian diet will protect you against atherosclerosis.
Truth: The International Atherosclerosis Project found that vegetarians had just as much atherosclerosis as meat eaters.(Lab Invest 1968 18:498)

I was aware of the studies. They have nothing to do with this bill, though.
Myth: Low-fat diets prevent breast cancer.
Truth: A recent study found that women on very low-fat diets (less than 20%) had the same rate of breast cancer as women who consumed large amounts of fat. (NEJM 2/8/96)
Myth: The "cave man diet" was low in fat.
Truth: Throughout the world, primitive peoples sought out and consumed fat from fish and shellfish, water fowl, sea mammals, land birds, insects, reptiles, rodents, bears, dogs, pigs, cattle, sheep, goats, game, eggs, nuts and milk products.(Abrams, Food & Evolution 1987)
Myth: Coconut oil causes heart disease.
Truth: When coconut oil was fed as 7% of energy to patients recovering from heart attacks, the patients had greater improvement compared to untreated controls, and no difference compared to patents treated with corn or safflower oils. Populations that consume coconut oil have low rates of heart disease. Coconut oil may also be one of the most useful oils to prevent heart disease because of its antiviral and antimicrobial characteristics. (JAMA 1967 202:1119-1123; Am J Clin Nutr 1981 34:1552)
Myth: Saturated fats inhibit production of anti-inflammatory prostaglandins.
Truth: Saturated fats actually improve the production of all prostaglandins by facilitating the conversion of essential fatty acids.(Price-Pottenger Nutrition Foundation Journal 20:3)
Myth: Arachidonic acid in foods like liver, butter and egg yolks causes production of "bad" inflammatory prostaglandins.
Truth: Series 2 prostaglandins that the body makes from arachidonic acid both encourage and inhibit inflammation under appropriate circumstances. Arachidonic acid is vital for the function of the brain and nervous system. (Price-Pottenger Nutrition Foundation Journal 20:3)
Myth: Beef causes colon cancer
Truth: Argentina, with higher beef consumption, has lower rates of colon cancer than the US. Mormons have lower rates of colon cancer than vegetarian Seventh Day Adventists (Cancer Res 35:3513 1975)

Got an explanation for exactly how this bill manages that? The recall is far more to the benefit of smaller operations, as contamination is going to be local and not even addressed by this bill, but local food safety laws instead. This is for situations like the massive peanut contamination a year or so ago, in which the company reacted slowly to recall massive amounts of food with dangerous salmonella contamination.

How many of those opposing based on the supposed pro-big-business and anti-small-farms nature of the bill clicked on the little "Money Trail" tab on the page?
If you note, it's mainly small farmer and organic farm associations that support this bill, while mostly business and larger corporations oppose it (there are some exceptions, but overall, this is true). Why would these kinds of associations, who make it their job to know and support legislation in their favor, inexplicably act against their own best interests?

I can't find any part in this bill that specifically prohibits individuals from planting their own personal crops. Even if they did, I sure as hell would continue to plant my tomatoes and flip off "da man."

This page describes radioactive material found in some antiques.
On this page:
- Overview
- Clocks, Watches and Instrument Dials
- Ceramics
- Glass
- Who is protecting you
- What can you do to protect yourself
- Resources
Among the furniture, clothing, jewelry, books, dolls, dishes, and many other objects sold at flea markets and antique shops, you will likely find items that contain radioactive compounds. These items were generally made and originally sold before the health effects of radiation were well- understood and long before radiation protection regulations were put in place.
Many antiques actively exploit the radioactive properties of radionuclides:
- Clocks, watches, and instrument dials that glow in the dark, may contain radium or tritium
- Ceramics (specifically old Fiestaware®) get their color from the addition of various radionuclides to their glaze
- Vaseline or canary glass contains small amounts of uranium, which provide it's yellow-green coloring and also makes it glow under black lights.
These items emit small amounts of radiation, but enough to register on a hand-held Geiger Counter.
Clocks, Watches and Instrument Dials
When radium was discovered in the early 1900's, people were fascinated with its mysterious glow. The hands and faces of some clocks, watches, and ship and airplane instruments were painted with paints containing radium to make them glow in the dark.
Over time, however,
experts discovered that radium is highly radioactive and emits alpha, beta, and gamma radiation. Radium is particularly hazardous
if inhaled or ingested because it then emits radiation
directly to living tissue. Many radium dial painters licked
the bristles of their paintbrushes to create fine tips for applying
the paint to these small surfaces. Later many of them developed
bone cancer, primarily in their jaws. By the 1970's, the practice
of using radium on watch dials ended.
CautionDo not attempt to disassemble radium watches or instruments.
Glazes used for tiles, pottery, and other ceramics made before the 1960's, often contain elevated levels of naturally-occurring radionuclides. Manufacturers typically used uranium, thorium, and/or potassium-40, all of which emit alpha, beta, and gamma radiation. As recently as the 1930s, Fiestaware® used uranium oxides to create the distinctive orange-red color of its dinnerware.
Early 19th century European glass makers sometimes added small amounts of uranium to glass as a yellow-green coloring agent. Because of its yellowish color, this type of glass was called vaseline or canary glass. In part, collectors like canary glass for the attractive green glow the uranium gives off when exposed to a black light.
Starting around 1970, the intentional use of radioactive coloring agents in commercial glazes and glasses in the U.S. dramatically decreased. However their use continues in other countries, and ceramics and glasses containing radioactive coloring agents may occasionally enter the United States.
Antiques containing radioactive materials will continue to emit low levels of radiation for many years.
Who is protecting you
The States
Each state has the authority to regulate naturally- occurring radioactive materials, including uranium, thorium, and radium.
U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC)
NRC establishes regulations for licensing the sale, use, and disposal of radioactive materials. Licensing requirements for the use of radioactive materials in consumer products are based on the quantity and radioactivity of the materials. Generally, NRC does not regulate antiques, but there are a few exception depending on the origin of the radiation source and the source strength.
U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)
The Radioactive Source Reduction and Management initiatives at EPA identify uses of radioactive sealed sources that could be replaced by non-nuclear sources. It also works with the scrap metal and demolition industries in the U.S. and with international organizations to keep radioactive materials out of the nation's metal supply. This helps protect against the possibility of contaminated consumer products. EPA also works with the nationwide Conference of Radiation Control Program Directors to investigate methods for keeping radioactive materials out of consumer products. Generally, EPA does not regulate antiques, but there are a few exceptions depending on the origin of the radiation source and the source strength.
U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT)
DOT regulates the transport of hazardous materials, including radioactive materials, by highway, rail, air, and vessel. Hazardous materials regulations are contained in Title 49 of the Code of Federal Regulations. Generally, DOT does not regulate the shipment of antiques, but there are a few exception depending on the origin of the radiation source and the source strength.
What you can do to protect yourself
Antiques that contain radioactive material do not normally pose a significant hazard if they are intact and in good condition. The more radioactive antiques added to your collection the greater the potential hazard. Even though the potential radiation exposure from your antiques is very small, it is still possible to reduce it further.
- Avoid displaying antiques that contain radioactive materials in an area where people spend a lot of time.
- Reduce the time you or your family handle the radioactive antiques.
- Do not attempt to disassemble radium watches or instruments.
- Do not use orange-red Fiestaware® ,similar ceramics, or vaseline glass to hold food or drink.
- Immediately dispose of any broken radioactive antiques. For instructions on proper disposal, contact your state or local radiation control program.

With the 56th pick in the 2012 NFL Draft, the Pittsburgh Steelers selected Ohio St. Buckeyes offensive tackle Mike Adams. Adams is rated as the fifth-best prospect at his position and as the No. 50 player overall, according to Mocking The Draft's rankings. Adams' stock sustained some damage a week before the draft when it was reported that he'd tested positive for marijuana during the NFL's annual scouting combine.
The Steelers are building their line up again, selecting David DeCastro, from Stanford, in the first round and Adams in the second.
In terms of Adams' on-field skills, Matthew Fairburn thinks the former Buckeye has the tools to be a starting left tackle at the next level. The former Buckeye will need to answer some questions about his motor, however.
Final Word: Mike Adams looks the part of a franchise left tackle. He has outstanding size, decent arm length and moves very well. It's tough to grade Adams because he is wildly inconsistent and looks lost on the field at times. He also never really displayed a mean streak during the games I watched.
I think Adams could be coached up to be a pretty solid left tackle in the NFL. He had to play his senior year blocking for the erratic Braxton Miller, so some of the inconsistency and perceived confusion is excusable. Still, I would like to see him put together a full game and become more of a nasty blocker. Adams is worth a shot in the mid to late first round.
For more on Adams, be sure to check out the SB Nation blog Land-Grant Holy Land. For lots more on the 2012 NFL Draft, please visit Mocking the Draft.

GENESEO — It's been 10 years, but the Plattsburgh State volleyball team is finally going back to the SUNYAC Volleyball Championship Tournament.
The Cardinals (12-13, 5-3 SUNYAC) made sure of that as they dispatched Oneonta State in four sets as part of a league split in Geneseo on Friday night. Even if the Cardinals drop their final league match of the year on Saturday, they can finish no worse than sixth in the conference - guaranteeing them a spot in the six-team tournament.
Plattsburgh State dropped an early decision to Fredonia, 3-1 (26-24, 23-25, 25-18, 25-23).
The Cardinals needed a strong effort in the second match of the day against Oneonta to secure their first trip to the SUNYAC volleyball championships in 10 years.
Plattsburgh State defeated the Red Dragons, 3-1 (25-23, 25-19, 21-25, 25-23).
Although the Red Dragons hit just .024 in the opening frame, the Cardinals had to claw their way back into the thick of things in order to come out on top.
Cummings hammered down a trio of terminations as part of a 6-3 Plattsburgh State spurt to begin the match before Oneonta State employed their service game to go on a sizable run of its own. A 9-0 scoring run by the Red Dragons featured four service aces and put the Cardinals in a 12-6 hole.
In the home stretch of the set, the Cardinals were able to benefit from a bevy of errors by the designated visiting team. Trailing 23-20, Jeanette Braun floored her second kill of the set before a trio of Oneonta attack errors and an additional ball-handling miscue by the Red Dragons gave the Cardinals a 25-23 win.
Seizing the momentum, Plattsburgh State came out firing in the second frame. In a 7-3 run to open the frame, Diehl connected for four more kills and set the tone for the entire set. The Cardinals never relinquished their lead in the set, and saw their lead grow to as many as seven points. Back-to-back kills by Schrantz and Diehl capped off a 25-19 win for the Cardinals who hit .419 as a squad during the frame.
Trailing 15-8, the Cardinals embarked on a 7-0 run that saw Cummings come up with a pair of service aces. Oneonta State errors accounted for four Plattsburgh State points during that particular stretch.
With the scoreboard reading 15-all, a back-and-forth battle commenced with the squads combining for six additional deadlocks before the Cardinals stood strong for the victory.

Black Creek Bathing?
Trees roots in Guyana, dye the water brown and many Amerindians of Guyana bathe and do laundry in this water. It is a strange experience to be in river water and barely able to see your own hand underneath it. The first thoughts of volunteers-- Are there Piranhas or water snakes?

The Houston Astros hope to have their managerial search wrapped up by the end of next week, though they may have to wait a few weeks to officially name Brad Mills' full-time replacement. A few of the interview candidates are currently employed by playoff-bound teams, which means the Astros and owner Jim Crane must wait until the team has been eliminated before they can make an official announcement, per the Houston Chronicle:
Whether he's hired to the full-time position, interim manager Tony DeFrancesco would finish the season.
"We wouldn't want to pull anybody working for another team integral in making a playoff run," Crane said. "They wouldn't come on board until everything's over."
The Astros have interviewed six managerial candidates so far and are expected to speak to two more and then hold a second round of interviews before deliberating. Red Sox bench coach Tim Bogar, Rays bench coach Dave Martinez, Nationals third base coach Bo Porter and interim Astros manager DeFrancesco have been confirmed to be up for the position.
Former Phillies manager and current MLB Network studio analyst Larry Bowa was interviewed for the spot but has already been eliminated from the running.
