A look at the false claims made in Sugar Busters and the Zone Diet books.
By James J. Kenney, Ph.D., R.D., F.A.C.N.
Good through December 2018
The Pima Paradox
Glycemic Index vs. Insulin Score Vs Satiety Index
Glycemic Index does not accurately predict Insulin Score
Post Test
Two of the most popular diet books in recent years (Enter the Zone by Barry Sears and Sugar Busters by H.L. Steward et al) claim that diets too high in carbohydrates (CHOs) lead to high insulin levels which prevent the burning of fat which results in obesity. Foods that produce the highest blood sugar response aka glycemic index (GI), such as carrots, potatoes and parsnips are claimed to be the most dangerous because they are assumed to produce the greatest insulin response. Even some RDs have made similar claims.[1] These authors claim that diets higher in protein and fat and much lower in (CHO) are the key to lowering insulin levels and burning off more body fat. Are they right?
If high CHO diets cause hyperinsulinemia, obesity and type 2 diabetes (NIDDM) how do we explain what is happening to the Pima Indians of Arizona? Pima Indians living in northern Mexico weigh 60-65 pounds less than Pima Indians living Arizona even though the Mexican Pimas diet consists largely of potatoes and corn tortillas, both high GI foods. The Arizona Pimas eat a Westernized diet with much more protein and fat than their Mexican "cousins." In Arizona, more than half the Pimas develop NIDDM by age 50y whereas in Mexico, NIDDM is rare and afflicts mainly the elderly.[2] If a high-CHO diet containing a lot of high GI foods raises insulin levels and promotes weight gain, why arent the high CHO eating Mexican Pimas the ones becoming obese and developing NIDDM? Aside from being inactive, the other factor leading to obesity and NIDDM among AZ Pimas is the relatively high calorie density or energy density (ED) of their diet compared to their Mexican cousins.
Part of the reason for the Pima Paradox, is that the Mexican Pimas are much more active. A single bout of exercise improves insulin resistance for a day or so.[3] Exercise depletes liver and muscle glycogen stores and so these tissues more rapidly take up blood sugar after exercise in order to replenish their glycogen stores. When people are sedentary their muscle glycogen stores are so full they resist the action of insulin because they have no use for blood sugar when their glycogen stores are full and they are not moving. Research also shows the body does not increase caloric intake to account for increased daily activity.[4] This is the main reason more active people are less likely to gain weight and develop insulin resistance and NIDDM.[5]
Genetic differences are not a likely explanation since these two Pima populations arose from the same genetic stock. A study of identical twins showed that there was little difference in ad libitum caloric intake on a high fat or a high CHO diet if the ED of the two diets was the same.[6] The claim that hyperinsulinemia leads to obesity and NIDDM, is also questionable. In fact, it is largely the consumption of excess calories in any form that causes hyperinsulinemia and it is an ED diet coupled with inactivity that leads to excessive caloric intake, obesity and NIDDM. Even though it is claimed that high insulin levels prevent fat burning and promote fat storage, which lead to obesity, it is much more true that obesity leads to insulin resistance and high insulin levels.
GI is simply a measure of how high the blood sugar rises in response to a given amount of CHO from various sources compared to a standard food (usually white bread or glucose). For example, carrots and potatoes have about the same high GI as sugar and white bread. However, carrots have only 195 calories per pound and a boiled potato has about 450 calories per pound while bread contains around 1250 calories per pound and sugar contains 1725 calories per pound. So the volume of food must increase dramatically for foods with a lower calorie density to be fed at the same CHO level. Since gastric expansion increases the rate of gastric emptying and CHO can only be absorbed after it leaves the stomach, this methodology creates a bias against lower calorie dense foods. Foods that lead to a higher osmolarity in the stomach can delay gastric emptying and this may also slow their absorption and lower the glycemic response. The reason sports drinks dont have a high concentration of sugar is that it would delay gastric emptying and slow the absorption of water.
The Insulin Score, (IS) or insulin index, is a measure of insulin output in response to a given caloric amount of various foods. Among foods with little fat or protein, the GI correlates fairly well with the IS. Dietary fat delays gastric emptying so any CHO consumed with a lot of fat usually results in a lower GI but because the fat magnifies the insulin output to a given rise in blood sugar, the IS is generally much higher than would be predicted based on the GI. For example, ice cream with its high fat content and high osmolarity has a fairly low GI, much lower than potatoes, rice or carrots. However, dietary fat greatly magnifies the insulin response to a given amount of CHO so the IS for ice cream is only slightly lower than that of potatoes and actually higher than white rice despite its much lower glycemic index. Dietary protein, like fat, also causes more insulin to be released; foods with no CHO at all cause a fairly substantial insulin response even though they have little effect on blood sugar.[7] It should be clear then that GI does not accurately predict the IS when foods vary considerably in their macronutrient composition and/or ED.
The satiety index (SI) is a relatively new concept that measures how full or satiated people feel after consuming a given calorie load from a variety of foods. It is measured by asking people to rate how satiated they are after a meal and by how much food they will eat after a 2-hour delay after consuming the test food. So a high SI food would leave people more satisfied after eating a set amount of calories and they would also eat less 2 hours later when given something else to eat presumably because they were still less hungry. It seems likely that a diet made up of higher SI foods would likely lead to less hunger and a lower calorie intake. The notion that high GI foods lead to obesity ultimately rests on the assumption that GI equals Satiety Index (SI). It turns out that the highest SI food tested was the potato which is also one of the highest GI foods.[8] Clearly then the presumption that all high GI foods lead to overeating and obesity is not correct. Therefore, the theory that high GI foods invariably lead to excessive insulin output which in turn prevents fat burning and promotes fat storage and obesity is of little scientific merit. In fact, insulin output in response to a meal correlates far better with total calories consumed than it does with the relative GI of the various foods in that meal.

Recent mass shootings around the country were a big factor in the state Legislature passing Senate Bill 221.
It would require background checks for private party gun sales.
Governor Sandoval says there are many good things in this bill, like keeping guns out of the hands of criminals and the mentally ill.
But overall, he doesn't agree with the bill and still plans to veto it.
"It is a very difficult and emotional issue," Sandoval said. "We still are receiving the veto message as we speak. It's something that's been very popular in our office, in terms of people rendering their opinion. Just yesterday, we had over 36,000 phone calls."
Governor Sandoval says state lawmakers did a great job during this last session, passing a budget that added $500-million to K-12 education, including class-size reduction, an English language learning program, and all-day Kindergarten.
"The big winners were the kids," Sandoval said. "Something that was very important to me was that every child in the state of Nevada be able to read by three."
The Governor says additional funding is a reflection of a recovering economy, with rising home values, continued rising taxable sales, and increasing gaming revenue.
He says his goal of creating 50,000 new jobs by the end of his term is within reach.
"We're improving and we have a ways to go," Sandoval said. "By no means am I satisfied with where we are. Two years ago, we had over 14% unemployment. Now, we're down to about 9.5% but we have got to do better than that."
About 1,000 bills will be signed or vetoed by next Friday. Between 50 and 100 bills haven't even made it to his office yet.
Just today, he signed a bill regarding the license plate for Nevada's 150th birthday, which is modeled after the state flag.
"It's a very attractive license plate," Sandoval said. "I really encourage Nevadans to take a look at it and hopefully, they'll consider using it for their vehicle. A portion of the cost of that license plate will go to a fund which will help Nevada celebrate it's 150th birthday."
Governor Sandoval says one of the main reasons he called for a Special Session on Tuesday, was because one of the remaining bills had to do with getting more police officers for Clark County.
He says it was an easy call to make, since the bill was about public safety.

Looking at footage from our old Polygamy of Musique series puts a smile on my face, because it's remnant of a fantasy that we created, shared and lived at one point. Everyone who knew about this believed and supported our DJ project, recieving lots of love and respect from friends. Part of me reverts to these memories and in my mind I have this wild desire to play again, but it's not the same without my partner. So for now I collect vinyls, just like him.

I've pushed hard for Torey Lovullo for manager for a few years now. Fangraphs interviewed Torey on his managerial philosophies:
At times, it can work to advance a guy into scoring position, but by and large, I've learned over the years that the sacrifice bunt can be a rally stopper. Every out is precious. You're playing with 27, so if you give up two or three a game, you're playing with 24 or 25. You're giving up an inning's worth of outs to sacrifice guys into scoring position, and the law of averages shows that just because you're at second base doesn't mean you're going to score.Swoon.

Did anyone see the season finale of The Office where Michael screwed up and told Jan she was getting fired. The CFO got mad at Michael and told him that they weren't going to give him the promotion and then Michael said that we was just going to withdraw his name from consideration.

IFA 2011: The 5 top TVs and tablets!
This week has seen the start of IFA 2011 over in Germany, and we've seen some outstanding gadgets. Unsurprisingly, with 3D and tablets being the most exciting tech of the year, TVs and tablets lead the way. We've put a list together, with the most exciting TV and tablet products. Join us after the break to find out more.
Samsung Galaxy Note Out of all the products to be announced at IFA this year, the Galaxy Note stands out as one of the boldest. Dell already struggled to make a success of the 5-inch form factor, so it looks like the Galaxy Note faces an uphill struggle from the start. Still, if it's anything like the Samsung Galaxy S II, it should be a great gadget either way.Sony Tablet P One of the most innovative looking tablets we've seen yet, the Sony Tablet P looks more like a Nintendo DS than an iPad. It features a clamshell design, letting it fold into a form factor of just 5.5 inches, yet the dual screens offer viewing of up to 11 inches when it's fully opened up. It looks amazing and should be perfect for web use, but what it's like for watching films – with the screen edges through the centre of the display – remains to be seen.
LG LW980T LG's latest SmartTV is incredibly thin, making it the ideal choice if you want a TV to mount on your wall. You'll be able to browse the internet on demand, with social networking features like Facebook and Twitter also built in, and movies can also be played back in 3D. With Full HD on offer, these 47×55-inch TVs promise to grace any living room.LG PenTouch TV With tablets proving ideal when it comes to movie playback or watching TV online, and TVs now offering full internet access and the ability to keep in touch with friends, tablets and TVs are getting surprisingly close in concept. This can be seen even more with the LG PenTouch TV, which lets you control, manipulate images and interact with the TV by using a stylus. Just like a big tablet!
Sony HMZ-T1 Although not strictly a TV, the Sony HMZ-T1 is a display, and one that mounts to your head. It could be one of the most impressive gadgets we've seen so far, offering 3D images, surround sound, a 1280×800 resolution and the ability to mimic a huge 750-inch movie screen. We want one!

The Cow (Persian: گاو, Gāv) is a 1969 Iranian film directed by Dariush Mehrjui, written by Gholam-Hossein Saedi based on his own play and novel, and starring Ezatolah Entezami as Masht Hassan. Some believe that "New Wave" of Persian cinema emerged after this film.[1]
The story begins by showcasing the close relationship between a middle-aged Iranian villager Masht Hassan and his beloved cow. Hassan is married but has no children. His only valuable property is a cow that he cherishes—the only cow in the village.
When Hassan must leave the village for a short time, the pregnant cow is found dead in the barn. Hassan's fellow villagers fear his reaction and cover up the evidence of the death and tell him upon his return that his cow has run away. Finding great difficulty confronting the loss of his beloved cow, as well the loss of livestock that affects his social stature at the village, Hassan gradually goes insane following a nervous breakdown and believes he is the cow, adopting such mannerisms as eating hay. His wife & the villagers try their best to bring him back to the normal life but all in vain. The tragedy ends with Hassan's death.
The Samanid prince Nooh ibn Mansur was reported to have thought of himself as a cow. He was subsequently cured of his delusion by the medieval Persian physician Avicenna. It is possible that elements of the plot of The Cow were inspired by this.1
Iran's Ayatollah Khomeini was reported to have admired this film. This in turn was reported to have been the saving grace that allowed Iranian cinema to continue without becoming completely banned after the Iranian Revolution.[2]

I came to SBNation with a little bit of a tough spot. I was bored and looked for multiple sports forums after one of the best I have came across eventually died. I came to find SBNation and one of the best blogs on here. Blogging the Boys. The Cowboys are my hobby pretty much year round. Along with the Yankees and Miami Heat. At first I had trouble fitting in because I liked these two teams. I was ready to quit, but I made a post I felt proud of it and I think I earned some respect in these parts of the SBNation.
I thank you for giving me a place to read about the Cowboys. The posting by Dave, OCC, Brandon, Aaron, rabblerours, and Paul Alexander is outstandingly good. I thank them for their hard work and their weekly picks. This site usually has a ton of posts up already, but Dave outdid himself the day Wade Phillips was fired and Garrett became our new head coach for the year.
I thank you for giving me a place to speak my mind. Whenever I have a thought about the Cowboys I usually try to expand it into something interesting that can get the whole community to think. Discussion is my #1 motivator and it can easily make me not bored. A major problem for me.
Thanks for all the cool people I met here over the past 17+ weeks of football. Even through the tough times we have together this season the true fans stuck it out. We proved that we can watch out team underachieve and still watch every single game. The bad fans will always complain, but the real ones will look towards the future and thinA toast to BTB and I wish you all a Happy New Year! But our road is not over. We still have one more game vs. the Eagles, the entire NFL playoffs, and off-season to talk before we get ready to see our Cowboys strap on the pads in 2011.

Columbus, OH (Sports Network) - Jon Diebler scored 21 points and P.J. Hill added 18, as 15th-ranked Ohio State dominated without an injured Evan Turner and rolled to a 111-60 victory over Eastern Michigan at Value City Arena.
Turner, Ohio State's leading scorer and rebounder, was hurt with 13:27 left in the first half. As he drove the lane, minor contact from Antonio Green was enough to alter Turner's direction. He fell hard to the floor on his back and slowly rose to his feet before gingerly walking off the court.
Ohio State officials said Turner was taken to the school's medical center for precautionary x-rays.
The Buckeyes (7-1) did not miss a beat and reached the 100-point mark for the third time this season. Jeremie Simmons scored 17 points and David Lighty chipped in 16 for Ohio State, which was coming off a 77-64 victory over Florida State earlier this week and has won five straight since a loss to North Carolina.
Brandon Bowdry scored all of his 24 points in the second half for Eastern Michigan (5-3), which had a three-game win streak stopped.
Ohio State scored the game's first five points and never trailed. The lead quickly reached 12-2 just 3 1/2 minutes into the contest on a three-pointer by Diebler, but the Buckeyes got a scare a few moments later when Turner left the floor.
Even without Turner, the Buckeyes continued to cruise. A three-pointer by Lighty gave Ohio State its first 20-point lead with just over eight minutes remaining in the half, and a Hill layup four minutes later made it 49-19.
The Buckeyes carried a 62-25 cushion to the intermission behind 15 points from Diebler and 13 from Hill. The Eagles committed 17 first-half turnovers, two more than their average for an entire game.
It was more of the same in the second half and the only question was whether the Buckeyes would eclipse the school record of 121 points scored against George Mason on January 8, 1995. Ohio State reached 100 with five minutes left, but took the air out of the ball down the stretch.
Diebler made 7-of-10 shots, including 6-of-8 three-point tries...William Buford contributed 16 points and 10 assists in the victory...Carlos Medlock was Eastern Michigan's only other double-figure scorer with 13...This was just the second meeting between the schools. Ohio State posted 58-54 win in the first back in 1982.

"Since releasing his debut LP as King Tuff, 2008's Was Dead, the now-LA-based Kyle Thomas has earned a dedicated following of freaks with his upbeat outcast punk rock n' roll and impossibly fun performances. With his 2012 sophomore self-titled album, Kyle has proved, if ever there was doubt, that King Tuff isn't merely a catchy recording project; King Tuff builds on the energy of Was Dead with more developed songwriting and some truly classic "light a jay hit the beach and whatever you do don't take off your shades goddamnit" rock n' roll jams."
A more charismatic, enigmatic nomad of a furioso frontman/artist/guitar legend could not be imagined. You can't make this shit up.

Gov. Rick Scott, BOG and UF BOT Chair Express Shared Vision for UF Top 10 Status
GAINESVILLE, Fla. — In recognizing the opportunity for the University of Florida to become one of the nation's premier institutions, Gov. Rick Scott and UF Board of Trustees Chairman David Brown are asking UF President Bernie Machen to continue his leadership over Florida's most highly ranked university.
"We have committed today to undertake this ambitious goal and fulfill a bold vision for higher education in the state of Florida," Scott said. "President Machen has earned a reputation for visionary thinking and has a record as a change agent. I have asked him to continue his service as president, and I look forward to working with him, the Board of Governors and the Board of Trustees on this effort to realize a new vision for higher education in Florida."
Said Brown: "Moving UF into the top 10 is the right thing to do for the university, the State University System and the state of Florida. This is a window of opportunity and we need a proven leader who can immediately champion this effort. President Machen has the experience and can provide a continuity of leadership. I am therefore recommending to our board that we ask him to stay and help us achieve this goal."
"I am pleased to join with Governor Scott in encouraging President Machen to continue his leadership role at UF and the State University System," said Mori Hosseini, vice chairman of the Florida Board of Governors. "This is an exciting time for higher education in Florida, and I am confident we can meet the challenge of developing a new vision for our state."
"Making UF a top 10 university has been my highest priority over the course of my tenure at the University of Florida," Machen said. "Now we stand at a crossroads where we have the potential to make giant strides. I have been asked to remain in office to lead that effort, and I am pleased to do so."
Brown said he would suspend the ongoing search for the next president, which began in July when he created a search committee composed of trustees, faculty, students, administrators, alumni and other stakeholders and charged it with recruiting candidates. The search committee was scheduled to review applications and recommend finalists to the Board of Trustees on Friday. The board planned to select a new president on Saturday.
"As we prepared for our final round of interviews with outstanding candidates, it became increasingly clear that defining a new vision for higher education in Florida will be front and center in the months ahead, and that we have the opportunity to do this important work with the governor and the Board of Governors," Brown said. "With this opportunity, we recognized the need to take full advantage of our very capable president and felt this is not the time for a lengthy transition of leadership.
"I am grateful to the search committee for the many hours of hard work it devoted to this process. Through its efforts, we received strong interest from leaders of several respected universities."
Brown said he will ask the Governance Committee of the UF Board of Trustees to enter into discussions with Machen to extend his contract and bring it forward to the full board and the Board of Governors for approval.
Machen took office as UF president in January 2004. During his tenure, UF has earned a series of impressive national rankings from various organizations. For example, UF has been named No. 1 in the country for efficiency, No. 2 for return on tuition investment, No. 3 for best value among public universities, No. 5 for the commercialization of research, No. 18 for research spending among public and private universities and No. 17 overall among public universities.

Heading into the season's final day of the regular season, the third through fifth seeds are known in the National League playoffs, with the Cardinals and Braves fighting for the No. 1 seed.
All three National League division winners win by shutout on Friday night. The Dodgers could know their NLDS opponent as early as Saturday.
The Dodgers first-round opponent is still up in the air as the Atlanta Braves moved into a tie with the St. Louis Cardinals for the best record in the National League. Los Angeles is nearly locked...
The Dodgers will likely begin the NLDS on the road. Whether they face the Braves or Cardinals will be determined in the final four days of the regular season.
Four of the five National League playoff teams won on Tuesday, including the Dodgers, with Cincinnati suffering the only loss.
The Cincinnati Reds and Pittsburgh Pirates officially clinched playoff berths on Monday, eliminating the Washington Nationals.
After defeating the Padres on Sunday, the Dodgers are a game back of the Cardinals for second place in the NL and two and a half back of Atlanta for first.
Cardinals, Pirates and Dodgers win, Braves loss means their magic number is still 1 as Nationals/Marlins game is postponed until today
Pirates lose first of six against the Reds, Braves reduce their magic number to 1
Dodgers nab the first ticket to the postseason, Cardinals lose, Pirates win
The Dodgers hold a tiebreaker advantage over the Cardinals and Pirates, but not with the Braves and Reds.
The Dodgers reduce their magic number for the NL West title on Tuesday to two, while the Cardinals took sole possession of first place in the NL Central. Meanwhile, the Nationals hot streak...
The Dodgers lost their fourth straight, and remain one full game behind the Cardinals and Pirates for second place in the National League.
Los Angeles dropped a game back of Pittsburgh and St. Louis for the number 2 seed in the NL. Los Angeles is now three games behind Atlanta.
The Dodgers hold the tiebreaker over both the Pirates (Dodgers won five of seven head-to-head contests) and Cardinals (won four of seven).
In order to clinch the National League West at home the Dodgers need two wins over the Giants and two Rockies wins over the Diamondbacks in two days this weekend.
The Dodgers are two games behind the NL East-leading Braves and one game ahead of the two teams atop the NL Central.
Three games separate the top four teams in the National League heading into play on Wednesday, while the division-leading Dodgers and Cardinals are tied for the second-best record, just two games...
The Dodgers and Braves inched closer to clinching their respective divisions on Tuesday night with wins.
The Dodgers lowered their magic number to eight on Monday. Two National League West foes were eliminated from divisional competition on Monday, and another could be eliminated as early as Tuesday.
With three weeks remaining in the season the Dodgers are clinging to the No. 2 seed in the National League, which would mean home field advantage in the NLDS. But the NL teams are so bunched up...
Turns out the Dodgers aren't dead after all. The club is atop the National League West for the first time since April 2.
Carl Crawford starts his second consecutive game for the Dodgers, who send Josh Beckett to the mound against Arizona on Monday.
Puig, who homered as a pinch hitter for Kemp on Sunday, will follow him in center field on Tuesday in Peoria.
The Dodgers need to win two games to stay alive, but that's only half the battle.
The Dodgers won again on Sunday, but so did the Cardinals. There are only two teams left alive in the race for the second wild card, and it soon will be one.

Our philosophy for organic farming is to implement the
United States Dept. of Agriculture (USDA) national organic
standards through permaculture farm practices which
integrate poly-culture of multiple plant and animal
species and contribute to an overall natural, harmonious
and healthy growing environment. We now have a
flourishing micro-environment imitating nature with the
use of natural systems to manage soil, control insects,
and conserve precious natural resources.
The integration of animals is an essential aspect of our micro-environment. Our dogs keep away wild pigs and strangers while our cats are responsible for controlling the field mice population. We have several beehives for the primary purpose of pollinating the many fruit tree varieties. In return, we benefit from the delicious and flavorful honey they produce. Our free-range chickens are tasked with controlling the ant and centipede population, while the ducks go after the snails and slugs. They also provide us with invaluable fertilizer and of course fresh eggs! In addition to these jobs, our chickens and ducks also contribute by assuming the position of field sanitation workers as they forage on fallen fruit which helps to reduce insect populations (their wages paid in mangoes and other tropical fruit).
Pest management is a process in which we attempt to create a natural balance of harmful and helpful insects. One example is the use of ladybugs to control the aphid population. Aphids can be quite destructive to citrus trees and spread viruses like Banana Bunchy Top Virus. Ladybugs feed on these aphids and keep the populations under control. Theoretically, we'd have a perfect 50% balance of each, but we have to let nature control that to a large extent. We use pheromone lures and natural bacterial solutions as an organic method to control fruit flies.
Nutrient management refers to promoting healthy soil, and thus healthy tree growth and fruit production. We believe that healthy trees are the primary defense against insect damage. Only in the instance of noticeable fruit or plant damage, do we take proactive action. At such times, we use a homemade spray solution of organically approved natural substances, such as Neem from our own trees. We have also planted a ground cover as a green manure/cover crop. This ground cover, "Golden Glory" (Arachis pintoi), is a perennial related to the peanut and is nitrogen fixing, thereby contributing its nitrogen to the soil.
We harvest our fruit just at the point where it begins to ripen without the use of ripening agents. This allows the flavors and sugars to develop naturally on the tree, which ensures the freshest and tastiest fruit for our customers. We hope you will enjoy the best tropical organic fruit you can buy in Hawai'i. We encourage you to look for our produce sticker so that you can sample our delicious fruits and vegetables for yourself!

Exogenous impact and conditional quantile functions
AbstractAn exogenous impact function is defined as the derivative of a structural function with respect to an endogenous variable, other variables, including unobservable variables held fixed. Unobservable variables are fixed at specific quantiles of their marginal distributions. Exogenous impact functions reveal the impact of an exogenous shift in a variable perhaps determined endogenously in the data generating process. They provide information about the variation in exogenous impacts across quantiles of the distributions of the unobservable variables that appear in the structural model. This paper considers nonparametric identification of exogenous impact functions under quantile independence conditions. It is shown that, when valid instrumental variables are present, exogenous impact functions can be identified as functionals of conditional quantile functions that involve only observable random variables. This suggests parametric, semiparametric and nonparametric strategies for estimating exogenous impact functions.

Disneyland and California Adventure renovated and reopened
|July 10, 2012
|Posted by Carrie under Disney
It's been a few months since we spent a day at the Happiest Place on Earth. We've been waiting with anticipation for the new attractions to open.
We were not disappointed. Disneyland and California Adventure continue to get better and better.
Let's start with Cars Land. Disney people: you did good. Walking down the main street of Cars Land is like walking through the movie. The attention to detail is amazing.
The Radiator Springs Racers is the feature ride of the new land. It's a fun tour through the Cars movie that ends with a race. Really really fun! A very popular new ride with a really long wait.
Tip: get to the park when it opens and go straight to the ride. The Fast Pass line is really long. If you want to get on the ride twice in one day, have one person in your party get a Fast Pass while the rest of you wait in line.
We waited about an hour and 15 minutes at 8AM to get on the ride. Fast Pass distribution ran out by 9:30AM. Our Fast Passes got us on the ride again at 2PM. Check out this website for information about early entry for Annual Passholders. You must register ahead of your planned visit.
Cars Land also includes a Luigi's Tires ride (bumper cars) and a Mater – Tractor Tipping ride that is a spinning kind of adventure.
Also new to California Adventure (that replaced the Mission Tortilla Factory) is a Ghirardelli Chocolate Shop. We made sure to make a stop for a sample and then returned later in the day for a fantastic ice cream sundae. Perfect new treat location in California Adventure.
We also made a stop at Toy Story Mania. This is my husband's favorite ride.
Tip: My family likes to read all about the Easter Eggs on the ride and try to get super high scores. While MMT still scores much higher than I do, I didn't do to shabby on this day (I'm player 2).
I"m sure you've all heard the hubub about Starbucks being available at Disneyland.
While I'm never one to turn down some Starbucks, I have to say that the line inside seemed almost as long as the Radiator Springs ride. Not worth it.
Tip: if you want coffee, go to the Market House inside Disneyland. Keep your reciept and return to the Market House any time during the day for free refills. Best deal in the park.
And, the Market House now has real half and half. There is also non-dairy creamer, but I prefer half and half and was super excited.
We also rode on the newly renovated Matterhorn. The wait was about 30 minutes. The new Matterhorn cars are separate seating, no more lap seating.
It was fun and fast and really enjoyable. The ride earned three thumbs up from my kids.
Tip: fun kid activity at Disneyland – Pin Trading. My kids enjoy looking for new pins and trading with Cast Members. It's super simple and fun and I personally love that they do it on their own and take the initiative to interact with the Cast Members. Here is a great introduction to Pin Trading from Disney.
I hope you all get a chance to check out the new Cars Land and the other fun renovations at Disneyland and California Adventure. Have you already gone?

Looks like so much fun! We haven't been to Disneyland in about 3 years, but we always have a great time:) The sundae looks delish:)

Ignoring Wife Costs Husband of Amgen VP
Posted Apr 24, 2007 11:56 AM CDT
By Debra Cassens Weiss
Prosecutors say a vice president at drugmaker Amgen Inc. told her husband about favorable results from a clinical trial of a cancer drug, but warned him not to trade on the information.
Gary Melton bought stock anyway in a company that worked with Amgen to develop the drug, prosecutors say. On Monday he agreed to pay about $31,000 in an agreement with the Securities and Exchange Commission to settle insider trading charges, the Los Angeles Times reports.
Melton's attorney, Andrew Holmes, told the Times he had this advice for his client: "You should really listen to your wife, apparently."

With Vitor Belfort derailing the expected matchup between Michael Bisping and Anderson Silva, and Silva announcing he would be sitting out until summer, we're going to need some middleweight matchups to fill the void and hopefully produce some kind of viable fight for Anderson Silva (at least until he fights GSP or Jones). Although many of the expected contenders have recently been knocked off, there are still plenty of exciting fights to make. Fortunately, the only UFC top 25 middleweights that are booked at the moment are Wanderlei Silva and Brian Stann (who ironically are fighting at LHW). Here are the matchups a that need to happen:
To produce a contender in the short term:
Vitor Belfort vs. Luke Rockhold - It's a great test for Rockhold, and if Vitor can knock off another contender he's making a great case for himself.
Jacare Souza vs. Chris Weidman - Two stellar athletes with outstanding grappling and strong striking... I dare you to tell me this wouldn't be awesome.
Cung Le vs. Hector Lombard - Neither of these guys should be talked about as a title contender yet, but this is the kind of fight that would almost certainly produce a highlight KO, and that could set up the case for a title shot down the line.
Whoever comes out of that looking the best should get a title shot. If there's time, winners can fight each other.
To deal with the rest:
Costa Phillipou vs. [Wanderlei Silva/Brian Stann] - Costa is making his way along, but I'm not sold on his Boetch win yet. A win against a solid but beatable striker coming off a win in Japan could be a good match to make.
Michael Bisping vs. Tim Boetsch - I think there's more parity between these fighters than most people realize. I can't see this fight being boring.
Alan Belcher vs. Rich Franklin - Two veteran guys with great skills that badly need a good win to stay relevant.
Mark Munoz vs. Jake Shields - I want to see who could get on top here, because neither of these guys spends much time on their back.
Tim Kennedy vs. Roger Gracie - I know it's not popular to put SF guys against each other at this point but I think this is a good test for Gracie.
Chris Leben vs. Lorenz Larkin - Let's see what Larkin can do against Leben.

Congress Smoking Cigarettes at the Gas Station
- Joshua M Brown

Ladies and Gentleman, your elected officials are smoking cigarettes at the gas station. Where or when they plan to flick the butts, well…we just don't know.
So far my gut instinct about how this period would play out is on the money, but there are still a few days until the August 2nd "deadline".
Here's a look at who's been bearing the brunt of the panic-selling on Wall Street over the last week:

New Name -- Same Commitment to Christ
May 1, 2012
In July of 2011, we announced we are changing our name from Campus Crusade for Christ to Cru in Mid 2012. This decision was saturated in prayer and initiated for the sole purpose of reaching the world with the claims of Christ.
Early media reports questioned our commitment to Jesus and our calling as ministers of the gospel. Those who know and partner with us realize that is simply untrue. As an organization, we are unswervingly committed to proclaiming the name of Jesus Christ in all that we do. We are committed to the centrality of the cross, the truth of the Word, the power of the Holy Spirit and the global scope of the Great Commission.
It is true that we care more about effectively proclaiming the love and forgiveness of Jesus Christ than we do about having the word "Christ" in our name. The only name that matters is Jesus and what matters most is connecting people to the name that gives life.
For those who may be concerned we have lost our moorings, please rest assured that we are the same organization that has shared the gospel billions of times. We remain committed to the vision and calling that God gave Bill and Vonette Bright in 1951.
We exist for the sole purpose of helping individuals experience the transforming grace and forgiveness of the gospel through Jesus Christ. We invite you to join us in taking the initiative to help every person on the planet have the opportunity to say, "Yes," to Jesus. Help us as we stand for Christ. Then help us take Jesus to the world.

Top Teachers: Stephen Worfolk
Jackson Davis E.S., third grade
Stephen Worfolk happened upon his career calling on a basketball court, while coaching a team at St. Mary's Church.
"Even though we lost a lot of games my first year, I truly enjoyed teaching the kids how to play," he said. "It was then I realized I would like to try my hand at teaching."
Although he now "coaches" a classroom full of third-graders at Jackson Davis E.S., the challenges are similar in some respects.
"A large group of students come to you each year on different levels academically, emotionally and physically," he said. "Trying to meet each student's needs and creating a classroom environment where each can grow can be very challenging."
Sometimes the students, like his basketball players, need physical help and encouragement. In September, for instance, when training begins for the mile or half-mile running test in P.E., many can barely run a lap around the track. But Worfolk makes sure that the students exercise each day and run a mile at least three times a week.
Worfolk notes that one of his favorite days of the school year is the spring running test, when students who ran with difficulty in September find they can now go the distance without stopping. "It's incredibly rewarding," said Worfolk. "It is so neat to see students get excited about conquering a challenge they might have hated in the beginning of the year."
A parent who observed this transformation comments, "Some kids never have – and may never again have – the opportunity or the encouragement that he provides. The physical progress for many of the kids is very inspirational."
Parents also admire Worfolk's "relentless" energy and concern for his students, and note that while strict, "he has a huge heart."
To his students' delight, he makes a point of attending their extracurricular activities and sports throughout the year. And to the delight of parents, he compiles an end-of-year show featuring photos from extracurricular events as well as from in-school activities.
Worfolk's interest in the children as individuals, say parents, has a tremendous effect on students' motivation and enthusiasm when it comes to school.
When it comes to enthusiasm for his students and for his colleagues, it's hard to match Worfolk, as well.
One of his more rewarding teaching experiences involved a student who came into his class reading far below grade level.
Worfolk said the student was "incredibly hard-working," but required help from many teachers beside himself due to being so far behind.
"I was proud to be a part," he said, "of this amazing group of teachers . . . who helped this student with her reading to the point where she could read proudly to the rest of the class."

Independent report highlights improvements in facilities and education at Deerbolt Young Offenders' Institution (From Darlington and Stockton Times)

Independent report highlights improvements in facilities and education at Deerbolt Young Offenders' Institution
Updated 4:41pm Friday 21st February 2014 in News By Stuart Laundy, Reporter (Barnard Castle & Teesdale)
CONSIDERABLE improvements have been made to the standard of accommodation at a North-East young offenders' institution, according to an independent report.
There have also been "notable and positive changes" in the way inmates at Deerbolt YOI, at Startforth, near Barnard Castle, are educated and trained while serving their sentences.
The annual report of the prison's independent monitoring board, which covers the 12 months to September 2013, also notes that any fears for the future had been allayed as Deerbolt had been operating at almost full capacity after a period of low occupancy.
The institution can house a maximum of 513 young offenders aged 18-21 on nine wings.
David Yeadon, chairman of the monitoring board, said governor Gabrielle Lee and her staff should be commended for leading the prison through changing and challenging times.
"The year has seen continued and considerable improvements and repairs to the fabric and appearance of the establishment."
Mr Yeadon said the board was particularly pleased with improvements in the shower facilities.
"The showers have been a major problem for several years and the cause of a high number of incidents," he noted.
Individual shower rooms have been installed on C Wing, replacing a single open cubicle.
On education and training, Mr Yeadon said the development of individual learning plans (ILPs) for inmates have proved a success.
Following the closure of Northallerton Prison, 18 staff, the majority prison officers, transferred to Deerbolt, easing a strain on staffing. In total, the prison directly employs 315 staff.

Entitled to an opinion says...
Single unit showers? Lovely facilities. It'll be getting 5 stars on trip advisor next. When is this country going to sort it out? Rehab my ****, they can't wait to be back in for Xmas and get a nice stay for a while, rent free, nice food, gym, education, playstation, ice cream....jeez it boils my ****
And what about staff? Nice frilly curtains and blankets are all well and good for prisoners and wasting our money, but putting staff in danger with over 20 prisoners to 1 member of staff is ridiculous...so a fight kicks off, a riot....the wings get smashed up and who pays for it....that's right, us mugs, the public!
