Corn on the Cob Question
My family and I just got back from a vacation in MN and SD and I have a question about corn on the cob. What is COTC or "Fresh Corn" (as it was advertised out there) supposed to taste like to an Upper Midwesterner (vs. a New Englander like myself)?
I ask because the corn I had (and, now that I think about it, the COTC I have had in MN on previous visits) has always been big (large kernels), chewy, very yellow, and not sweet--in short, corn that I would normally classify as old and inedible. (This included the ear from the Corn Palce itself!) In contrast , the COTC I am used to is small kernel, white or whitish yellow, sweet, and tender-crispy.
Is this a real regional difference in what corn is supposed to be? ( I could imagine a sort of purity in having COTC that is more grain-like, vs. vegeatable-like.) Or am I just a lousy corn magnet when I visit MN?
I have never had, what I would consider to be, good COTC outside of New England..... the best coming from the Simsbury Ct. area.
yeeks. what you got sounds like what my grandfather called cow corn - what he would feed to the cows.
I'm from upstate NY originally. the COTC I've always had for eating is like you say, smaller kernel, white, yellow or mix, sweet. Never been to the midwest so can't say what their corn is usually like. :)
re: jujuthomas
Our cottage is on the Quebec-Vermont border, and I've never had corn as wonderful as the stuff I get from roadside stands in Quebec. Picked that day, rushed home to an already boiling pot, just a hint of butter, and man - that's good! Here in Toronto, there used to be two local farms that grew their own corn, but they both sold out to developers (don't blame them, they probably made millions). It's hard to find fresh corn here these days.
re: FrankD
Frank. You just have to drive a little further. The Holland Landing area has lots of fruit/veggie stands.
re: Davwud
90 minute round trip from Richmond Hill. There is a place at 19th and Warden, and sometimes Southbrook has a pickup truck on Major Mac near Dufferin, but both are hit and miss.
I can say that being from Chicago, and also having an S/O from the Upper Peninsula of Michigan, that your latter description of COTC sounds about correct to me as far as what would be considered good. The S/O's family who reside in the U.P. all know what good cotc is and appreciate it. From my standpoint, you've simply had bad corn. It's not ALWAYS good. maybe the entire state of MN likes this fieldy corn more, or maybe the area where you vacation likes that corn more, I really don't know. I would assume, however, that you've gotten bad corn. Kinda sucks, too - we had locally produced Illinois cotc last night, and it was borderline too sweet to eat. No butter, no salt, no pepper. It was like dessert sweet.
re: gordeaux
uh, no. . . we have extremely good fresh sweet corn, in season, in mn. rushed to market the same day morning as picked. so sweet, juicy and fresh you can eat it raw off the cob. i don't know where the op got her/his corn, but it doesn't sound like it was up to snuff at all. i don't buy the "regional difference" theory. i know that you don't pick corn and leave it lying around for a week and a half, though. . . there's a crapload of corn grown in mn and you can taste the difference in the soil and elevation from the corn from different farms in the summer.
re: soupkitten
I was going to say, we have family in Iowa and I've never had corn in season there that was less than stellar. This is very odd indeed.
I have had excellent corn on the cob in Iowa, as well as Northern Wisconsin just this summer. Some of it has been a mix of yellow and white kernels, some mostly white. Sounds to me that you somehow got lousy corn.
Edit - I'm wondering now if the corn I've bought is sold as "sweet corn", though it seems odd to me that a retail food outlet or farmer's market would sell corn not meant to be eaten (and enjoyed) by humans.
I grew up on a farm in eastern North Carolina, and we never ate the yellow corn that made up the bulk of the crop. That was destined for the grain mill, where it would be turned into animal feed, or ground into cornmeal/grits/etc. My grandfather would always plant a few rows of Silver Queen(which was white or very pale yellow in color), and that's what we would eat ourselves.
Olathe corn from Colorado...yum.
My huitlacoche expert near Orlando said that some types of sweet hybrid corn seed were scarce this year, because of the ultra-stupid federally subsidized ethanol program.
With out a doubt, you had cow-corn.
Living in the NW (but raised in Iowa), I rarely eat COTC simply because it can't match what I grew up with -- it has to come out of your garden or from the back of a pickup truck.
I can only guess that the Corn Palace (RIP) was trying to be authentic to their SD roots.
The corn grown today for retail markets is all Hybrid sweet or super sweets varieties. The corn has small, crispy, crunchy, sweet kernels that are yellow, white or bi-color. Growers, shippers, and retailers love it for its ability to withstand long shipping times/distances to markets, and the long retail shelf life once it reaches its destination. Consumers love it because it tastes good! To many it's all they have ever known... All they have ever seen..All they have ever eaten. ...To them it's... Corn pure and simple.
This has not always been the case...Time was when most (not all) of the corn consumed was common "Dent" corn aka Field corn..Mule Corn or Cow corn if you prefer. It was grown, and consumed locally, as it did/does not ship well, and it's shelf life after harvesting was/is very short. The window of opportunity to harvest and eat/process this corn was/is a matter of days...sometimes two or three before it was to mature i.e. tough, chewy, and starchy. Some of these old dent corn varieties are still with us, but none grown commercially that I know of....I have grown some of these...Trucker's favorite, Pencil Cob, Shoe Peg, and others for years....Harvested at it's peak it is delicious!!...Not sweet, but crunchy, full of milk, and bursting with real corn flavor...When the corn was "ready" it was all hands on deck...You had/have two or three days tops to pull and process your needs for the freezer...Less if it had/has been a dry year. After that you could find a few roasting ears but mostly it was to mature and was allowed to dry/harden on the stalk, pulled, and dried for animal feed or shelled and taken to the grist mill for corn meal...I've tried the new, hybrid, genetically engineered dent corn varieties, and have been less than impressed...Great for corn oil, corn syrup, animal feed, ethanol, corn meal, corn flour, corn starch and a whole host of other uses/products, but not good to my taste buds....I think maybe you had some of this...plus it was past it's prime/freshness.
re: Uncle Bob
You are correct - that's what I grew up w/. It is also why so many of the fields have been used for Field corn and not the Hybrid and why the "People" corn is WAAAY more expensive then I've ever seen it.
And yes, Field corn, straight from the field is very good.
re: Uncle Bob
That is what I suspect--that what I've had is older vareities that really do need to be very fresh. It's odd that I never got it though, even at what was suposed to be a reasonablely good restaurant in Rapid City.
re: cgj
"That is what I suspect--that what I've had is older varieties"
Not necessarily....It just as easily may have been one of the new modern varieties of Dent corn that have been developed genetically for high yields (bushels per acre) and disease resistance/drought resistance traits etc. I would venture to say (guess) odds are very strong that this is what you purchased...Not one of the older varieties....As to your most recent experience it doesn't really matter that much....Again it was a Dent (as opposed to a sweet) variety that was pulled past it's prime, or either had been off the stalk too long. HTH
re: Uncle Bob
OK. What's surprising is that it was all from restaurants, or food vendors this time--including one othewise popular place in Rapid City (and theirs was the worst of the lot). Given the hybrids available out there, why would a vendor purchase a more fragile variety?
Meanwhile, there's only about 2 weeks left of COTC here in NE...sigh
re: cgj
I really don't like trashing whole regions but, well, South Dakota isn't the best place to be getting produce. My in-laws live in the Black Hills so I'm out there one to two weeks a year.
The produce at grocery stores can be pretty grim - they have a pretty low population base and I assume that the majority of their agriculture is focused towards wheat and/or other bulk grains due to their short, hot dry growing season.
My MIL keeps a garden but often has freezes well into June which really shortens the growing season for delicate items...perhaps it's better on the plains, I don't know.
If I were to pursue chow in SD, I'd focus more on Buffalo or game...not fruits and veggies.
re: sebetti
Yes, but it doesn't explain the lousy corn in southern MN! I mean, they grow it there....
My grandparents had a forty-acre farm in southern Indiana. After my grandfather retired, they leased out their fields to a local farmer who grew field corn. At a certain point in the season (later in the parts of the field that were largely in the shade), we would put a pot of water to boil and go pick immature field corn and eat it off the cob--sometimes for breakfast. It was sweet but not one-dimensionally so and devoutly corny tasting. I live in New England now and gorge on local corn in season, but nothing has ever come close to that immature field corn.
re: Steamed Dumpling
re: Steamed Dumpling
Dallas in the early sixties: Fourteen. Friends and I would eat corn from the nearby field raw. It wasn't fancy corn. It was at its prime.
I don't think most people know there are different corns for different purposes. I also have a long scar on the base of my left thumb from the knife I was using to chop down corn as I helped my Grandfather harvest his crop. I was having fun in the hot sun and got a little carried away trying to keep up with the older men!
Something is wrong. Midwestern corn in August and early September is exquisite: small kernel, pale yellow or py/white, tender-crisp. I've eaten it for many years; I always look forward to it, cooked within hours of being picked.
And I've also had delicious Silver Queen corn in the south, though not much here at home.
Okay, the replies here seem to be coming from rather Provincial Northeasterners, or even Southeastern Canadians. Now, since none of you have apparently ever tasted great corn grown in other locations, let's try to clear a few things up:
1) Corn varieties are as numerous as apple varieties. White Corn (Silver Queen is the most common on the East Coast), bi-color corn and yellow all have multiple varieties. When I lived in New Jersey, I had access to a farm that used to grow the most amazing, sweet yellow corn. I didn't think it was possible to get fresher, sweeter corn (which, BTW, was rather large and tender both), until they decided to start growing a bi-color variety that was actually a tad better, so the same grower can certainly grow different varieties as long as the climate is cooperative.
2) As the season progresses, most markets buy corn from suppliers further and further south because the longer growing season allows more than one crop in warmer climates. They truck it north so that you New Englanders can still enjoy "farmstand" corn long after your growing season has ended, but while it is still pleasant enough to be spending your weekends in the country. I used to buy this too, once the season was over. It is still great corn, but it is imported from points further south.
3) I used to think Silver Queen was the best because that was all I knew. While I still love it, there are wonderful varieties like yellow Olathe from Kansas, or some of the other varieties grown in other parts of the country. Olathe was quite a surprise, as it rivals the old yellow my New Jersey farm friend used to grow, and then some. You can usually only find it in the Plains or here in Texas.
4) Drought, which is widespread in some parts of the country, results in dry, tough and stunted corn. It is usually not sweet.
I don't think there is a "MN" type -- you probably just got a bad crop. It could be from insufficient rain, or some other agri-problem, but that should not be the norm.
I have never had, what I would consider to be, good sweet corn, outside of the Silver Queen I grew in Texas..... except that in Tulsa, OK, Seattle, WA, Vancouver,BC, Valdosta, GA and the Stop and Shop in New Haven, CT.
It's everywhere I think, except for where it's grown for feed, alcohol or corn chips.
Don't feel bad. I thought I had good pizza in Texas, especially at Uno's. It's a regional thing. I didn't realize what (crap) I was eating till I had apizza in CT!

KEAN 105 Beaches Boscobel Broadcast – Day 2 [SPONSORED]
Our first excursion during our stay at the Beaches Boscobel Luxury Included Resort and Golf Club was a catamaran cruise on the beautiful and exciting oceans after a morning full of "liquid sunshine."
The highlight of the cruise was lying on the "trampoline" on the front, a series of criss-crossed ribbons that form a webbing with nothing but ocean several feet beneath, and being splashed as the catamaran crested the waves. We also stopped for a while to swim in the ocean, which was surprisingly warm, and even found a starfish and several sea urchins by diving down to the bottom. On the short ride back to the resort, the crew taught us some Jamaican dancing, and the DJ mixed in a few fun American songs for us to enjoy.

NU quarterback Kain Colter iffy for season finale against Illinois
BY HERB GOULD For Sun-Times Media November 27, 2013 8:03PM
Updated: December 30, 2013 11:58AM
Northwestern quarterback Kain Colter dressed for practice Wednesday but remains day-to-day for the team's season finale Saturday at Illinois.
''He was out there today,'' Wildcats coach Pat Fitzgerald said. ''Felt good to see him. That's about all you're going to get.''
Colter didn't appear to practice with the offense, and how much he did in individual drills wasn't clear. Colter, who also plays receiver, was knocked out of NU's game Saturday against Michigan State in the first quarter. His injury is listed as an upper-body issue, but it appears he injured his right (throwing) shoulder on the play.
''I'm progressing,'' Colter said. ''Just trying to get healthy. Playing it by ear. I still don't know what the final decision will be, but I'm doing everything I can to play on Saturday.''
Colter will have some input, but Fitzgerald and the Wildcats' medical staff will make the final call. — Herb Gould

Last fall, AMD brought people the Never Settle bundle, which gave people three free games and a discount on a fourth. That was such a big hit, AMD decided to try it again with newer games and release their Never Settle Reloaded game bundle.
This time around, they've reduced the number and updated the bundle to the newest games. The first is the Tomb Raider (2013) reboot, which they say is very heavy on DirectX 11 graphics and even has a "Top Secret" DirectX 11 effect never seen before. They didn't share anything about what that may be, but they make it sound exciting.
Tomb Raider is a good title, but it comes with the 7800-series cards. Those who really want to push DirectX 11 games, especially at higher resolutions, will be looking to the 7900-series.
The second game featured, which comes with both GPU series, is Bioshock Infinite, which is the first DirectX 11 game in the Bioshock franchise.
I did mention three games, right? AMD saved the best for last. They were very proud to announce (and rightly so) that AMD is the exclusive partner for this next title, meaning that you won't see this bundled with any cards from the green team. It's currently in beta now…
Have you guessed what it is yet?
Yep, Crysis 3.
AMD did make a point of saying that Crysis 3′s beta performance right now is not the final performance you can expect with the game. They are working closely with Crytek to optimize everything about the game to give the best possible performance. Indeed, forum member Frakk tested the latest Catalyst beta (12.3 beta 4) and saw a "massive performance increase" in Crysis 3 performance over the previous beta.
Now, the way these are being doled out is similar to the previous Never Settle bundle. Some games come with 7800-series cards and others come with 7900 series cards. You've got to go top of the line to get Crysis 3, but if you go with a 7800-series card, you get the not to shabby consolation prize of Tomb Raider.
You knew this was coming, you just didn't know when…
But wait, there's more!
If you get any two 7900-series GPUs, you get six games for free. This includes not just two discrete cards, but any two GPUs, meaning if you're interested in the ASUS ARES II we just reviewed, you'll get the six-game bundle as well. Same goes for the other two 7990s on the market.
On the conference call with AMD, we also went over a couple commonly asked questions about distribution and delivery. Answers to all of these questions and more can be found at the Never Settle Reloaded landing page: http://www.amd.com/neversettlereloaded. That page is password protected now, but should go live on Monday, February 4th. We're just telling you about it now because some sites jumped the gun on the embargo and AMD emailed to tell us the embargo was lifted immediately. Our mini-FAQ:
- What stores are participating in the deal? Many prominent E-tailers. Without the list up, we don't have many examples, but most of our readers buy a lot of their hardware from Newegg, and Newegg is a participant.
- How will they handle getting these to you? When you buy cards that are eligible for the bundle, the e-tailers will automatically apply the Never Settle Reloaded bundle to your purchase. When it is being packaged, they will drop coupons into the box for the games you're eligible to receive.
- What do you do with the coupon? You take the coupon code and go to the web site above to redeem your game key(s). Once you redeem it/them, the web site will give you a key for that game and tell you which platform you'll need to use to download it. Tomb Raider and Bioshock Infinite will be downloaded through Steam and Crysis 3 will be through Origin. You don't need to memorize that though; when you redeem your coupon code, the site will tell you where to enter your key for the game.
If you have any more questions, see the web site when it goes live. There are various terms and conditions of course, so reference the site for those.
There you have it folks, AMD's Never Settle Reloaded game bundle program. The Never Settle bundle was so successful AMD said they didn't just see an uptick in sales – they saw sales that were an "order of magnitude" higher than pre-bundle sales. Obviously they enjoyed that and want to give it another go. With Crysis 3 coming out and people surely needing to improve their graphics systems to handle it (remember "…but can it play Crysis?"), they stand a good chance of repeating that success.

- Wonder if it'll come bundled with 7870 xt/le models...I still can't afford one anyway :phmm maybe waiting to get a seccond 7870 was a good idea...
not a big tomb raider fan so that key will probably be given awayFYI, the Never Settle Reloaded landing page is now live if there are any questions you had that the original article didn't answer. :thup:Might force some of us to rob a bank and buy two 7970's instead...:thup:
What about the 7870 LE cards? I guess that would qualify for all the titles, right? :pI love it when cards have games included with them, always makes for a great way for people to really test out their cards that they just bought.
I think it is a little annoying for AMD to lock out new 79** owners from Tomb Raider, though.

2014-2015 Season Press Release

Pete McMurray Show radio broadcast
Handel's Messiah:
The Apollo Chorus has been performing this glorious masterpiece for Chicago since 1879, a track record unmatched in the city of Chicago. The Chicago Tribune hailed our 2012 performance as a "venerable holiday tradition" performed with "an exultant spirit that came from the heart." In 1907, Orchestra Hall at Symphony Center became Apollo's anchor for this annual performance. Since 2000, Apollo has performed the entire score, half of it from memory. Musical Conductor Stephen Alltop conducts the entire piece from memory and without a score.
2013-2014 Reviews and Commendations:
2014 New City review by Aaron Hunt:
"... Alltop's unbroken track record for training his chorus to express such varieties of style and color that it rivals any other in the city."
2013 LASPLASH review:
"...It is probably clichéd at this point for those who have seen them, particularly in performance of this work, to commend their talent, their effort, and their cohesion in singing, but just because excellence is routine or expected, it should not be taken as commonplace...Apollo deserves a hearty commendation."

Welcome to the City of Glen Cove!
Glen Cove has something for everyone. We offer magnificent beaches, a scenic golf course and lovely tree-filled parks, providing our residents with a summer vacation paradise in their own backyards. Recreational boaters will find full-service marinas, a city yacht club, and a fully renovated launch ramp offering easy access to our refreshing North Shore waterways.
From the Desk of Mayor Reginald Spinello
Many families in our community will be having Thanksgiving dinner this Thursday through the philanthropic efforts of our local fraternal organizations, houses of worship, Youth Bureau, and neighbors who choose to remain anonymous. I know that in many homes there will be an empty chair with a place setting in tribute to loved ones serving in our nation's armed forces. In some cases, the empty chair represents someone who will continue to be sorely missed. As we gather with our families and friends, let's count our blessings and be grateful. Let's commit ourselves to helping others in our community throughout the year. As we pause to reflect this holiday, I ask that we include a hope for peaceful resolutions the current unrest in our country.
Please bring your family and join my wife, Coleen, the City Council and me to light the City's Christmas tree on Saturday, November 29, 4:30 p.m. at Village Square. My sources tell me that the Jolly Old Elf in a red suit will be making a special guest appearance.
Have a safe, enjoyable holiday season.

County Funds for Glen Cove Sewer Project
Mayor Reginald Spinello today was notified by Nassau County's Executive and Legislative Offices that an agreement has been reached which allocates $12 million for studying, designing and installing public sanitary sewers in Glen Cove and neighboring communities that are not currently connected to the Glen Cove Wastewater Treatment Plant.
Mayor Reginald Spinello said, "Working together to do the right thing for our constituents is a true reflection of good government. I thank County Executive Mangano and Legislator DeRiggi-Whitton for their efforts. This investment is critical to the protection of our natural resources and our communities."
Mayor Spinello's Meeting with Hospital Officials
Notes: October 28, 2014
New York State Ebola Hotline: 1-800-861-2280
Specialized Treatment Center: Dr. David Battinelli, Senior Vice President and Chief Medical Officer, NSLIJ
Only Confirmed Ebola Patients Will be Brought to Glen Cove
Glen Cove Hospital is One of Eight Treatment Centers as Required by NY State
The Ebola Treatment Unit at Glen Cove Hospital is ONLINE AND READY. The third floor was chosen because of its isolation capability, it has a separate elevator, and it was completely empty. The unit is completely sealed off from the rest of the hospital and is equipped with its own air handling system as a precaution even though it is not an airborne virus. The unit can treat up to 2 patients simultaneously. Transfer of a patient will be determined by the CDC and State health officials.
A Message from Mayor Reginald Spinello
Last night, I received the information posted below. I have been in contact with hospital officials and expect to have more details shortly.
This Just in from Mayor Spinello Regarding the Hospital:
"I am in communication with one of the hospital officials and I am waiting to hear back from him. So far this is what I've learned. It appears that Stonybrook University Hospital will be the main center for research. A part of the hospital's third floor which has a separate entry and exit and a separate 'point of care' laboratory will be used for the care and treatment of a patient. The staff treating the patient would reside in this area of the hospital. As I receive more information I will continue to let the public know."
An Update on Glen Cove Hospital:
Mayor Reginald Spinello has an appointment on Tuesday morning, October 28, 2014, with hospital officials at the hospital's headquarters on Community Drive. In addition to obtaining more details regarding the plans for a temporary Ebola treatment center in the Glen Cove hospital and asking for a tour of that location, Mayor Spinello will be seeking answers to the public's concerns.
For more information regarding the hospital, please go to:
As you will see in the article, Governor Cuomo designated the hospital as a regional resource during the Ebola emergency.
Here is the latest information on the hospital:
I still want to have a town hall meeting scheduled with the hospital and I am waiting to hear from them. My meeting with hospital officials is Tuesday morning Oct. 28th.

They Are Here!
A Call to Action
Not called!' did you say? 'Not heard the call,' I think you should say. Put your ear down to the Bible, and hear Him bid you go and pull sinners out of the fire of sin. Put your ear down to the burdened, agonized heart of humanity, and listen to its pitiful wail for help. Go stand by the gates of hell, and hear the damned entreat you to go to their father's house and bid their brothers and sisters and servants and masters not to come there. Then look Christ in the face -- whose mercy you have professed to obey -- and tell Him whether you will join heart and soul and body and circumstances in the march to publish His mercy to the world. -- William Booth
If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land. 2 Chronicles 7:14
You're invited to the 2014 International Day of Prayer (IDOP) Live Interactive Webcast with Open Doors and special guests David Platt, Nik Ripken, and musical guest, Selah!

ELKHART Sewer upgrades in the city of Elkhart come with a hefty cost – more than $23 million. However it won't affect residents' utility bills.
The city plans to install a new tank underground, which will prevent more than 8 million gallons of sewage from seeping into the Elkhart River each year.
According to The Elkhart Truth, they also plan to change the way wastewater is treated, by replacing the chlorine gas disinfection system with an ultraviolet light system. It eliminates the risk of gas leaks, like one last month that forced officials to close Nappanee Street.
The changes will help keep the city in line with stricter federal standards.

Diet Detectives: Spotting Sensible Diets
One week you are stuffing your face with protein. The next week, a new diet urges you to dump the protein and load up with carbohydrates. Talk about redefining yo-yo dieting.
So do you continue with your current diet? Or will friends who have lost dozens of pounds on this new diet sway you over? All you know is that you are desperate to lose weight. If that new diet works, then it is worth a try.
Before you dig into another diet, step back and evaluate it. Just as you would not buy a car without knowing anything about it, you should not jump into a diet without scrutinizing its claims. And before you continue your string of yo-yo dieting, you should learn what successful weight loss is all about.
The Keys to Successful Weight Loss
Weight loss does not happen overnight. Nor should it happen to the tune of ten pounds a week. Instead, successful weight loss means losing 1-2 pounds per week, says Debra Wein, MS, RD, sports nutritionist and co-founder of the Sensible Nutrition Connection in Hingham, Massachusetts. "When you lose more than 1-2 pounds per week, you lose more than just fat mass," Wein says. Instead, you start losing part of your lean body mass, including muscle—the mainstay of your metabolism. Muscle, after all, uses more calories than fat and is a major contributor to helping increase metabolism.
It is helpful to think of weight loss as a way to also achieve good health. Losing 5%-10% of your starting weight may lead to improved health if you are overweight. If you choose to lose weight, no matter how much, it is a good idea to work with your doctor and/or a registered nutritionist.
There are 3,500 calories in a pound, so to lose one pound a week you need a 500 calorie deficit per day, which is ideally achieved both by cutting back on calories and through exercise. Regular exercise is an important component of weight loss success. "You need to get a balance between caloric intake and caloric expenditure," Wein says.
For weight loss to be successful, you have to incorporate exercise into your daily routine. "You need to get a balance between caloric intake and caloric expenditure," Wein says.
You may also need to change some of your eating patterns. For example, are you always eating in front of the television without realizing how much you have eaten? Do you eat when you are depressed, sad, or angry? Ideally you should pinpoint what triggers you to eat, and if it is not hunger, develop new, more healthful, responses to these triggers.
Why Diets Fail
Inevitably, diets do—and most likely will—fail. Consider, after all, how many times you have been in this situation. You go gangbusters on one diet only to fizzle out after a few weeks. Then slowly but surely, the weight you have lost creeps back onto your body. What went wrong?
One reason as to why diets often do not work is that they are temporary interventions and do not address the issues really at hand: what is causing a person to eat a certain way and why? Most diets, for instance, prescribe certain eating habits that you follow for a specific period. Yet once that period ends, you are left to battle with your old eating patterns. Although you may have lost weight, you did not learn anything about nutrition, nor were you taught how to modify your old eating habits to maintain the weight you have achieved.
Some diets may also be too restrictive or unrealistic, Wein says. "Someone may be eating so few calories that they just can't function well," she explains. Or the diet may require giving up going out to eat with friends or even eating certain food groups.
How to Spot a Healthy Diet
So how can you choose a diet that will help you lose weight sensibly and keep it off? By taking the time to evaluate diets and not believing every claim you read or hear. Before you start a diet, talk with your doctor or a nutritionist about your intentions. Then ask these questions when analyzing a diet:
- Who is the author of the diet? Make sure that the author has credentials to back her expertise. Even if a diet book is written by a doctor, find out that doctor's area of interest and look for motivating factors that might have prompted him to write the book.
- Are the diet's claims backed by research? Do some digging to find out whether research has been performed, preferably at the university level, Wein says.
- What are the health risks associated with this diet? Make sure a diet lists the health risks involved—even the most sensible diets can be risky for certain groups of people, such as women who are pregnant or people with diabetes. If a diet seems too good to be true, it probably is.
- Are all food groups represented in the diet? "If you cut out a whole food group," Wein says, "you miss out on valuable nutrients." Without the right balance of nutrients, you will feel sluggish and will perform poorly throughout the day. Also keep in mind that the key to losing weight is to cut back on calories, not to focus on a particular nutrient. Researchers at Harvard School of Public Health studied four groups of dieters; each group followed a diet that emphasized different nutrients (eg, a low-fat/low protein/high-carb diet). Weight loss was the same for all of the dieters, no matter which diet they followed. The key to weight loss was sticking with whichever diet they were assigned to.
- Does the diet severely restrict calories? Severe caloric restriction should send up a red flag, Wein says. Women aged 19-50 who are physically active, may require 2,200-2,400 daily calories. Active men aged 19-50 require at least 2,800-3,000 calories every day.
- Does the diet recommend something other than a good balance of carbohydrates, protein and fat? If so, consider finding another diet.
- Does the diet claim that weight loss will be immediate? Remember that slow and steady sheds the weight. Talk with your doctor or nutritionist to find out the ideal amount of weight loss you should achieve weekly.
- Does the diet reveal how many pounds the average person loses? Before and after photographs can be enticing but deceiving. The weight loss industry is largely unregulated and thus appealing photographs do not represent average weight loss.
- Does the diet encourage exercise? Exercise is a vital part of weight loss and management and should at least be recommended.
- Does the diet propose a maintenance plan once you have lost weight? Losing weight is easy for many people, but developing a plan to keep the weight off is key to long-term success. This is why extreme or radical diets generally do not work—they just are not maintainable in the long run.
A Life Change, Not a Quick Fix
As Wein is quick to point out, there is no quick fix and no magic pill or supplement that will make you lose weight. ""The bottom line is that to lose weight," she says, "you have to eat well and exercise."

OpenSSL Vulnerability Discovered
April 8, 2014 Posted in Main Leave a comment
A two year old vulnerability in OpenSSL--the default cryptographic library used in many software applications (including web servers, operating systems, email, and instant-messaging clients)--has been discovered. This vulnerability could make it possible for external parties to mine server memory for data including private encryption keys, passwords, and other credentials. If you are hosting a web server using a vulnerable version of OpenSSL (including most variants of Linux), it is recommended that you: * Patch the OpenSSL vulnerability * Revoke and [ Read More ]
Expect a HIPAA Security Audit – But Guess Who Will Conduct It?
March 25, 2014 Posted in Main Leave a comment
The 2009 HITECH Act deputized the Office of Civil Rights (OCR) to conduct HIPAA security audits under the auspices of the Department of Health and Human Services' (HHS). But as it turns out, OCR is not the only HIPAA enforcer in town. State attorneys general can claim a similar right to audit; in fact several were initially trained by OCR to do so. In the second half of 2013, the Center for Medicare Services (CMS) began conducting audits of eligible [ Read More ]
Mobile Device Management: Protection But Not Panacea
March 11, 2014 Posted in Main Leave a comment
A Mobile Device Management (MDM) solution is a single security tool that must work in concert with many other IT operations to achieve information security. Choosing the right MDM requires significant forethought. Implementing all the controls correctly for all end-users requires cooperation with system owners. Maintaining secure configurations and accurate device information requires ongoing support. Choosing, implementing, and maintaining your MDM are each complex tasks with their own inherent risks. Without attention to each link in the chain, vulnerabilities to [ Read More ]
Why Risk an Incomplete HIPAA Risk Assessment?
February 27, 2014 Posted in Main 1 Comment
Covered entities and their business associates must conduct periodic HIPAA risk assessments (aka: HIPAA risk analysis) under the HIPAA Security Rule and Omnibus Final Rule. For eligible covered entities, a HIPAA risk assessment is also a core requirement of their Stage 1 and Stage 2 attestations for the EHR Meaningful Use Incentive Program. Both HHS' Office of Civil Rights (OCR) and Center for Medicare Services (CMS) have conducted hundreds of HIPAA audits over the past 18 months. OCR, the lead [ Read More ]
The Biggest Oversight in HIPAA Security Risk Assessments – Security!
January 23, 2014 Posted in Main Leave a comment
There are many HIPAA consultants, law firms, software companies, cloud service providers, and others who will happily provide you with a quote for a HIPAA security risk analysis. Neither the HIPAA Security Rule nor the respective references in Meaningful Use prescribe the exact form or format of a HIPAA Security Risk Analysis. So it is not surprising that so many enterprising professionals will offer their "version" of how a third-party firm can address this scope of work. What is surprising [ Read More ]
How Ethical Hacking Can Bolster Enterprise Security
January 14, 2014 Posted in Main Leave a comment
Ethical hacking sounds like an oxymoron. If you are someone who is responsible for the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of data on your network, isn't getting hacked the last thing you would want? Don't worry! Ethical hacking projects (or assessments) don't involve doing any damage to your network. Sometimes, though, the best way to understand exactly how a real hacker would attack your assets is to simulate a real-world attack. Think of the pain that Target and its customers might [ Read More ]

60 Days After Discovery: HIPAA Incident Response… and Breach Notification

All organizations regulated by HIPAA must now document and report security incidents.

Most simply: first the security investigation, next the privacy investigation and lastly breach notification. In a perfect world... There are many ways that a security or privacy incident can be discovered. [ Read More ]

PLYMOUTH — Turnovers were the name of the game at Thursday's rescheduled round one Class 3A Sectional basketball games at Plymouth.
Culver Military surrendered too many during a second-quarter spurt by Marian en route to an eventual 64-39 loss to the Knights, and the No. 6-ranked Pilgrims capitalized on them in a 59-33 romp over Jimtown in the late game.
Plymouth takes on Mishawaka Marian in the late semifinal tonight at Plymouth following an earlier contest between John Glenn and St. Joseph at 6 p.m.
Hoosier Hysteria got into full swing at Plymouth on Thursday night with the Pilgrims taking a step forward in a 59-33 win over Jimtown in round one of this year's Plymouth Sectional.
It was far from easy going early on with Plymouth holding a 7-3 lead with 1:23 to play in the first quarter but that's when things came unglued — Plymouth's forte.
The No. 6 Pilgrims unleashed a defensive onslaught that would result in a 20-3 lead at the end of the quarter.
"There are times in transition where we have guys who can make some plays on the defensive end and the offensive end, but it starts with our defense," said Plymouth coach Ryan Bales. "That stretch is a perfect example. We got some hustle plays, a lot of deflections, and it led to some good offense for us. It shows the importance of every possession. In that short time we were able to build our lead based on our hustle and defense.
"We got some great rebounds tonight and our defense was everywhere. We got a lot of deflections tonight."
Hustle and defense is a theme that has been the Plymouth mantra for the regular season.
The Pilgrims never looked back after that point in the first quarter, getting valuable playing time for players off the bench and spreading the wealth in an opening round game preparing for Marian on Friday.
Mack Mercer led the team with 15 points and eight rebounds, but Joe Knapp had 14 with four steals and Ike Kastner had 10 off the bench for Plymouth.
"This community appreciates hard work and playing through the final buzzer," said Bales. "If our kids step on the court they're expected to play hard no matter who is in the game. I think our bench tonight was a perfect example of that."
"They are a physical team, and I like our response tonight, We got knocked around a little bit, got fouled pretty hard early and our response was to attack a little bit harder — really get to the basket — and instead of getting on our heels, instead of getting tentative, they woke us up."

It was turnovers — the story of the season — that caught up to CMA in falling to Mishawaka Marian in opening round action of the Plymouth Sectional by a final of 64-39.
"It's the same thing we've dealt with for two years," said CMA boss Mark Galloway. "The kids know this, I know this, it's no secret we haven't had a point guard for two years. The point guard does a lot of things. He can dictate tempo, he can work to get open, he can initiate your offense, so that would help. I think the biggest thing is the turnovers; we've struggled with that all year long."
At the end of the night CMA had 19 miscues but 16 of those were in the first half — a crucial period in the game.
Early in the second quarter the Eagles were within 6 but a simple miss of a box out and a pair of turnovers later it was a new game.
"We're only down 18-13; we missed a block out and (Michael) Whitfield scored and that got them going," said Galloway. "We missed a layup early, we turned it over early and we were still in the game. The turnovers caught up with us."
Whitfield ended the night with 22 points with 16 of those coming after the missed block out.
While CMA struggled without a point guard, the Knights enjoyed the services of one of the best in the country, Notre Dame recruit Demetrius Jackson. He ended the night with 17 points and made his presence known in other ways.
"Some of the passes he made," said Galloway. "His vision is what really sets him apart. He could start next year for Notre Dame in my opinion."
Marian coach Rob Berger was happy with another aspect of his team's game.
"I'm really happy with our first half how we played defensively," he said. "I thought we did a really good job putting pressure on the basketball and then rotating out of traps both in the full and the half court, and I think that really set the tone for the game. I was glad to see us come out with energy.
"We have some guys that are capable scorers, if we can play defense like, that we have a chance to do something."

Rilo Kiley's new album More Adventurous doesn't have the unexpected punch of 2002's The Execution of All Things, but they're not the new kids anymore. The quartet's been in every music magazine and played here half a dozen times, and More Adventurous reflects that maturity, incorporating strings, samples and new sounds, from the cutesy old pop standard opener of "Does He Love You" to the honky-tonk blues of "I Never." But the album also has plenty of that white-belt country rock--Jenny Lewis can snarl as well as she sweetly croons. These are still the simple songs you'd expect, but, as the title suggests, more adventurous.

Gift for relative who likes horses.
I loved the shape of horses but the finish was a disappointment.
I had a study with empty spaces when my husband moved his accounting office out of our home. I ordered pieces from you and they fit in perfectly. They actually look as if they have always been there.
I purchased this because of how beautiful the horses looked in the picture. I was amazed at how much more beautiful they are in person! They look like a very expensive piece of art but very affordable. I'm happy with my purchase!!
perfect for me

text: 5 Reasons Jerry Brown is Better than Hillary Clinton Print article Send a Tip by Joel B. Pollak 21 Jul 2014 post a comment The Washington Post is speculating that California Governor Jerry Brown might challenge Hillary Clinton for the Democratic Party nomination for president in 2016. We all know his weaknesses: job-crushing regulations that have kept California's economy from taking off; an advanced age (he'll be 78 in Nov. 2016); and Brown's obsession with what Republican gubernatorial challenger Neel Kashkari rightly calls the "crazy train." Yet here are 5 reasons Brown would be a better candidate. 1. Strong executive experience. Brown is running for a fourth term as governor and has a long track record in executive office. That record may have its weaknesses, but it is more substantial than anything Hillary has done. Her tenure as Secretary of State is the closest she's come--but she was appointed by Obama, who set her on a disastrous foreign policy path, and she filled her four years in office with largely meaningless voyages. 2. Support for fracking. Brown has broken with the Democratic Party base in a way that Clinton can never quite bring herself to do. One of the more important recent examples of that is his support for fracking, which has the potential to bring California thousands of jobs and billions of dollars in revenue. Not that he's making it easy to do, mind you--but he hasn't closed the door to fossil fuel development, and is standing up to the left. 3. Balancing a budget. Sure, the California budget is only "balanced" in theory, and the state is still saddled with massive debts that Brown has done little to address. But he deserves credit for pulling his party somewhat into line to accept modest cuts. And agree or disagree, he did the hard work of selling a tax increase to voters. Clinton, by contrast, served in the most profligate government in the history of the world, without protest. 4. Support for a flat tax. OK, it was a long time ago when Brown ran for president on a flat tax--and was defeated soundly by Bill Clinton. Still, it is a fantastic idea, at least as a basis for tax reform going forward. The U.S. has the world's highest corporate taxes, and the Obama administration's idea of stopping the flight of companies overseas is to exhort them to show "economic patriotism." Brown at least has (or had) a better idea. 5. He's the real 1990s throwback. There's plenty of 1990s nostalgia in Clinton-mania. Yet Clinton herself is a creature of the 1960s, not the 1990s, and relies on the politics of personality to carry her message. Brown may be known as "Governor Moonbeam," but his persona as of late is of a no-nonsense, straight-talking, cards-on-the-table guy with nothing to lose. He's a Gen X candidate in hippie disguise--a better past to look forward to.
