Breakdance and beats go hand in hand, but one crew is turning the tradition on its head with a global tour set to classical music.
Seven B-boys from the Berlin-based, four-time world champion breakdancing crew Flying Steps team up with Swedish ballerina and acrobat Anna Holmstrom for "Red Bull Flying Bach," named for the energy drink company presenting the tour. The show features breaking, popping and locking, head spins, hand spins, footwork and acrobatics set to live piano and harpsichord accompaniment from Berlin-based opera director Christoph Hagel—who performs selections from Johann Sebastian Bach's "The Well-Tempered Clavier"—as well as explosive electronic remixes of Bach's preludes and fugues from jazz and hip-hop producers Ketan and Vivan Bhatti. A loose storyline explores conflicts between dancers during rehearsals for an upcoming competition and the improvement in the group's dynamic when a young lady (Holmstrom) arrives in the studio.
Chicago is the only U.S. stop for the high-energy, 70-minute show, which has sold out in Australia, Japan, Chile, Canada, Russia and several European cities. We checked in with four of the eight dancers by email to find out more.
'Red Bull Flying Bach'
Go: 7:30 p.m. Friday through June 29 at the Civic Opera House, 20 N. Wacker Drive
Tickets: $24-$88. 312-419-0033; ticketmaster.com
Anna Holmstrom, 23
Lives in: Stockholm, though she's moving to Berlin and grew up in Lindesberg, Sweden.
Signature move: A cossack pirouette, a turn with her supporting leg bent beneath her and the other leg extended straight out. Her personal record is nine rotations.
Favorite music to warm up to: "It varies depending on my mood; I like almost all kinds of music. Though, before a show, I always play 'Nar vi graver guld i USA' (When we dig gold in the U.S.). It reminds me of how privileged I am to be able to work with something I really love and it makes me want to give everything I have on stage."
Best asset as a dancer: "To move across a space with high, explosive jumps. I really enjoy the feeling of being able to fly!"
Most daunting physical challenge: "To let go of the need to be in control every movement. I always try to reach further into movement and emotion."
Favorite off-stage shoes: Converse sneakers
An eye-opening moment about dance: "I was 17 and I had a late-night talk about my goals in life. It just clicked. I knew I wanted to dance. Later on, I've realized it's because when I dance, I am able to express my thoughts and feelings in a way I can't do in any other way."
Scariest performance moment: "When lifts go wrong and it looks like I'm going to fall to the ground. It looks scary, though I trust my partner totally and I know we will handle it without anyone getting injured."
Activity closest to her heart when not dancing: "I like to read or play different kinds of sports."
Michael Rosemann, aka Mikel, 37
Lives in: Berlin
Signature moves: The suicide. "This is a crazy move where you jump high up in the air and land on one shoulder."
Favorite music to warm up to: Red Hot Chili Peppers, Michael Jackson or The Chemical Brothers.
Best asset as a dancer: "I have very agile legs, so I am able to combine my footwork with acrobatic moves."
Most daunting physical challenge: "Constant condition[ing] in order to dance 70 minutes like I do with 'Red Bull Flying Bach.'"
Favorite off-stage shoes: Nike sneakers
An eye-opening moment about dance: "Listening to hip-hop music! When I am listening to it, my body moves and I can't stop it. When I am dancing I feel free and feel my body—this was something I wanted to do my whole life."
Scariest performance moment: "I once fell down very hard during a suicide. That was really scary because I didn't know if I broke something. Luckily, everything was fine."
Activity closest to his heart when not dancing: "I love to teach breakdancing to young people. To see how they develop and accompany them for some time on their way gives me a really good feeling."
Gengis Ademoski, aka Lil Ceng, 23
Lives in: Saarbrucken, Germany, though his family is Macedonian
Signature move: The air chair, a move balancing on one hand with both legs in the air.
Favorite music to warm up to: "Right now I am listing to Kendrick Lamar and A$AP Rocky. When I'm warming up I just listen to whatever fits to my mood, it could be hip-hop or jazz."
Best asset as a dancer: "To be yourself and to know your strength makes you outstanding."
Favorite off-stage shoes: "I love my Nike Air Max 1."
An eye-opening moment about dance: "There was no specific moment. Breakdance has always been my passion. I knew I could do nothing else but that. So I've trained very hard to become a professional since grade school."
Scariest performance moment: "There are plenty of them! Breakdance has a lot to do with physical control and strength. You always have to be concentrating when you are practicing—if you don't, you'll eventually get hurt."
Activity closest to his heart when not dancing: "I love to be with my family! Through the huge success of 'Red Bull Flying Bach,' I've been traveling a lot and the moments at home are very special ones."
Khaled Chaabi, aka KC-1, 27
Lives in: Berlin
Signature move: Head spins
Favorite music to warm up to: "I have Arabian roots ... [so] I often listen to Arabian music, but I also like all kinds of old school hip-hop."
Best asset as a dancer: "I am very diverse in my tastes. Besides B-boying, I ... [also do] hip-hop and popping and locking."
Most daunting physical challenge: "To dance on a professional level, you have to know your body. You need to know where your weak points are and train hard to overcome those weak points."
Favorite off-stage shoes: "All kinds of shoes! It really depends on the event."
An eye-opening moment about dance: "Since my childhood, I did various kinds of sports. I just loved to challenge my body. One day, I saw some of the guys from my neighborhood B-boying and I immediately wanted to try it myself. The feeling when you are dancing is a completely different one from any other activity. You feel free and can bring in a lot of your own personality."
Scariest performance moment: "I once did a head spin on a wet floor and totally lost touch with the floor."
Activity closest to his heart when not dancing: "Just being with my family and friends."

As we come down the homestretch of this college football season, there are lots of great games on tap in the next week. Many of the nation's top players—including Heisman-winner Johnny Manziel—will be on display for the last time this year.
We will have separate previews of all the BCS games posted soon, but in the meantime, here are the highlights of all the other remaining college bowl games.
The first week of bowl games is in the books and, while we all know these games are just appetizers for the big games to come, the BCS games will be hard-pressed to match some of the excitement we've already seen. Three of the four games this week were decided in the fourth quarter and featured a lot of stellar individual efforts.
Here are all the highlights from the first games of the 2012 bowl season.
In a move that shakes up two power conferences, University of Arkansas officials announced Tuesday evening that Wisconsin coach Bret Bielema had accepted the Razorbacks' head coaching position. Terms of the deal were not announced, but the contract is reportedly a six-year deal worth $3.2 million per year.
History could be in the making this weekend, with a defensive player and a freshman highlight among this year's finalists for the Heisman Trophy. Texas A&M quarterback Johnny Manziel, Notre Dame linebacker Manti Te'o and Kansas State quarterback Collin Klein were announced as candidates for football's most prestigious trophy, which will be awarded Saturday night.
Sadly, we've come to the end of another exciting regular season in college football. Unless you are Notre Dame or Alabama, you are left wondering what might have been. Yet, despite the sadness inherent in the end of the season, there was still a lot of excitement this week—and of course bowl season still ahead of us.
Here are all the highlights from this week in the Top 25:

November 20, 2014
WASHINGTON (AP) - The House has voted to significantly expand four-decades-old hate crimes law to protect those attacked because of their sexual orientation.
The Senate is expected to act soon on the bill, which is attached to must-pass defense policy legislation.
With passage, federal prosecutors will for the first time be able to intervene in cases of violence perpetrated against people because of gender, sexual orientation, gender identity or disability.
Congress has been trying unsuccessfully for more than a decade to extend hate crimes to include attacks on gays and women, and it was a top legislative priority of the late Sen. Edward Kennedy.
President Barack Obama, unlike his predecessor George W. Bush, is a strong supporter of the hate crimes legislation.

It's CREATIVE BUZZ time!!
Check out all these awesome red, white and blue
projects to inspire your patriotic celebrating:
1. Paint Dipped Milk Bottles from Tied Ribbon
2. Red, White & Blue Sugar Cookies from Made to be a Momma
3. Nursery Reveal from Carissa Miss
4. Red White & Blue Layered Cake from Just Us Four
5. Fresh Berries & Cream Panna Cotta from Handmade in the Heartland
6. Flag Bunting from Seven Thirty Three
7. Red, White and Blue Wood Shim Art from All Things with Purpose
8. Patriotic Funfetti Cupcakes from This Silly Girl's Life
9. Berries & Cream White Chocolate Bark from Do Small Things with Love
10. Red White & Blue Braided Headband from Sugar Bee Crafts
11. Red White & Blue T-Shirt Scarf from One Krieger Chick
When we decided on the red, white and blue theme, I figured I'd incorporate the use of wood shims – which has been on my Pinterest to-do list for a while now! I bought a pack of the 8 Inch Pine Shims and the 15 Inch Cedar Shims
from the Home Depot. So many come in a package,
I thought I'd try several different designs.
The design above was using the long shims with the short ones on the back for support. Below is the shorter shims. My goal was to make something without having to cut the shims at all. The picture below was kind of an experimental idea! I think it turned out OK :)
The traditional red, white and blue colors would really not fit well in my home, so I wanted to create something that was more of a pastel version.
Here's the back view of 2 different ones. I used hot glue to hold the pieces in place and then painted the fronts. I'd love to hear what you come up with!

In Mexico, A Wiki Makes Corporate Secrets Public
BY Jessica McKenzie | Wednesday, August 20 2014
Earlier this year the Latin American NGO Poder launched Quién Es Quién Wiki (Who's Who Wiki), a corporate transparency project more than two years in the making. The hope is that the platform will be the foundation for a citizen-led movement demanding transparency and accountability from businesses in Mexico. Data from Quién Es Quién Wiki is already helping community activists mobilize against foreign companies preparing to mine the mountains of the Sierra Norte de Puebla.Read More

Public Lab Builds Environmental Monitoring Community, Online and Off
BY Sam Roudman | Tuesday, August 19 2014
Environmental monitoring can be expensive and difficult but tech is changing how we relate to the environment. Until recently, the mechanics of political influence in America created a segment of environmental activism that isn't always about connecting people to the environment. But as smart phones have gotten into more hands, and more people get connected online, environmental activism has started to shift, or grow, as well. Read More

The First Fruits of Significance Labs Show Civic Tech at its Best

Now, after picking six fellows from a pool of 150 applicants, the Labs is showcasing some inspiring results: five promising examples of working civic tech tools that can demonstrably help the poorest among us.

NY Study Shows How Freedom of Information Can Inform Open Data
BY Miranda Neubauer | Thursday, August 14 2014
On New York State's open data portal, the New York Department of Environmental Conservation has around 40 data resources of varying sizes, such as maps of lakes and ponds and rivers, bird conservation areas and hiking trails. But those datasets do not include several data resources that are most sought after by many New York businesses, a new study from advocacy group Reinvent Albany has found. Welcome to a little-discussed corner of so-called "open government"--while agencies often pay lip service to the cause, the data they actually release is sometimes nowhere close to what is most wanted.

Responding to Ferguson, Activists Organize #NMOS14 Vigils Across America In Just 4 Days
BY Jessica McKenzie | Thursday, August 14 2014
This evening peaceful crowds will gather at more than 90 locations around the country to honor the victims of police brutality, most recently the unarmed black teenager, Michael Brown, who was shot and killed by a police officer in Ferguson, Missouri, on Saturday. A moment of silence will begin at 20 minutes past 7 p.m. (EST). The vigils are being organized almost entirely online by the writer and activist Feminista Jones (@FeministaJones), with help from others from around the country who have volunteered to coordinate a vigil in their communities. Organizing such a large event in only a few days is a challenge, but in addition to ironing out basic logistics, the National Moment of Silence (#NMOS14) organizers have had to deal with co-optation, misrepresentation, and Google Docs and Facebook pages that are, apparently, buckling under traffic.Read More

A Gem Within a Gem
By: Phil Pyle
There is no lack of history on St. Simons Island. From pre-colonial Native American inhabitation to Spanish occupation, and from the American Revolution to antebellum plantation life and from Civil War battles to World War II battles – yes, German U-boats sank two U.S. tankers just off the coast of St. Simons Island – the area has many roots in American history, and its proud residents take careful steps to preserve them, even quite literally.
When George Stewart and his wife Michelle began renovating a 1930s beach cottage near the historic parks, Lighthouse and oceanfront Village districts, their key concern was not to disturb the indigenous vegetation and trees. The towering live oaks around St. Simon's were so prized for their strong wood as far back as 1812 when they were harvested and shipped to Boston to help build the U.S.S. Constitution, giving her the nickname "Old Ironsides." Despite having strong wood, as with any plant or tree, their roots are fragile and vulnerable, so the meticulous renovation planning of what was to be the Village In and Pub was designed around their root systems. Hence, not a single tree was harmed or removed from the premises. In fact, the parking area was laid not with concrete pavement but with grass and environment-friendly shell pave, which also serves to protect the trees' roots and help control water runoff. It is no surprise that the Stewarts were granted a "Good Developer Award" by the island's environmental protection and conservation group Residents United for Planning and Action.
Though St. Simons is rife with expansive chain hotels and resorts, many travelers as of late are venturing off the beaten path and discovering unique, charming boutique hotels and bed-and-breakfast inns. The Village Inn and Pub is exactly that. The architecture of the Inn keeps in line with the 1930s theme of the original cottage, though the Inn and its rooms are fully equipped with all the modern conveniences travelers come to expect. Therein lies the duality that attracts not only travelers looking for something unique and quaint but also corporations looking for exciting places to hold meetings or retreats, wedding parties wanting a special memory and locals simply wanting a relaxing place to have a cocktail and listen to live music.
Speaking of the latter, the centerpiece of the Inn is the Beach Cottage, where the pub of the Village Inn and Pub is located. One look at the beautiful solid mahogany bar – imported from England, where they know a thing or two about pubs – along with the cottage's original 1930s stone fireplace, and there is no wonder why this is a favorite spot for locals and guests alike. The Pub opens at 5 p.m. daily and offers a wide selection of beer, fine wines and cocktails – the Wild Orchid Martini is their signature drink – and on weekends, the Pub is an ideal place for patrons to enjoy their libation of choice along with live music.
In the courtyard is a sparkling tropical pool, and overlooking the pool on the sun porch is where continental breakfast is served daily. Another unique element of the Village Inn and Pub that is a testament to the Stewart's original and thoughtful approach to inn-keeping is the design of the rooms themselves. The Inn offers 28 rooms, but as any returning guest would attest, no two rooms are alike. Each room – each with a private bath, TV and WiFi – is named after a specific person who has important ties to St. Simon's Island's history. As Director of Sales, Missy Brandt, explains, "Each of our rooms here at the Inn is named after a famous or infamous person in St. Simons Island's history. Each guest will receive a little history in their room that will let them know the story. Some of the famous people our rooms are named after are Eugenia Price, a famous author, John Wesley, founder of Methodism, and Sidney Lanier, poet, and they all have ties here to St. Simons Island."
After checking in and enjoying a peaceful coffee and muffin by the pool, what is there to do before returning later for a sunset cocktail? There are two types of destination travelers. The majority decides upon a locale and then chooses accommodations, but there is a slim minority who find themselves, through no choice of their own, tied to an accommodation in a locale with which they may not be familiar, for example, members of a wedding party or company employees on a business trip. In these cases, people will find that staying at the Village Inn and Pub is likely the best choice someone else ever made for them. Besides the accommodations, the Inn sits in a prime location for venturing out and seeing the best of what St. Simons Island has to offer. "What separates us from other hotels and resorts is our proximity to the village area, and to the pier and to the lighthouse," says Missy Brandt from the Village Inn and Pub, and that is no understatement. All of the above are within 300 yards of the Inn.
The Lighthouse is a recently restored functional lighthouse, as the name implies, dating back to the late 1800s (the original lighthouse on the island was built in 1802 but destroyed during the Civil War.) The current lighthouse, restored by the Coastal Georgia Historical Society and operated by the U.S. Coast Guard, contains a museum to showcase the history of the lighthouse, the historic Coast Guard station and natural history of the surrounding areas. Thanks to the ocean views and the Historical Society's beautifully managed grounds, the Lighthouse is also a premier location for weddings and corporate events.
Within sight of the Lighthouse is the St. Simons Pier, which is outfitted with outdoor lighting, making for a relaxing evening stroll. From the pier, one might glimpse the North Atlantic right whales in their seasonal migration or the plentiful dolphin that frequent the waters year round.
Also as the name implies, Pier Village is adjacent to the Pier and houses a multitude of unique boutique clothing shops; galleries of local artists; coffeehouses; candy shops; bookstores; fine and casual beachwear; and non-chain restaurants, including, of course, a great offering of seafood. Also, for those wanting to rent a bike or get a broader view of St. Simons Island from a trolley or charter boat – or those who dare to take a ghost tour – the Village is the place to reserve a seat.
If children are in tow, an ideal respite from the "grown up" activities is Neptune Park, also adjacent to the Pier. Here, families can enjoy miniature golf, swimming for all ages in the Fun Zone pool, and a safe and state-of-the-art playground. Needless to say, the beaches at St. Simons are ideal for families, as shallow tide pools and sand bars are perfect for kids. Within a short drive are the historical Fort Frederica, golf courses and other outdoor activities opportunities, such as kayaking through the marsh. After spending a day taking in the sights, sounds and tastes of St. Simons Island, the Village Inn and Pub is the perfect place to unwind after dinner, have a drink with friends at the Pub – or make new friends – and get a great night's rest.
The historical architecture and ambience of the Inn give a sense of stepping back in time and being close to St. Simons history. Just as St. Simons Island is a beautiful, friendly and unique gem along our Atlanta coast, the Village Inn and Pub is a beautiful, friendly and unique gem within a gem.

November 27, 2014
MADISON, Wis. (AP) -- Wisconsin ranks 34th in job creation of the past 12-month period ending in March, adding 24,000 private sector jobs in that time.
That is according to data released Thursday by the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics.
Democratic Assembly Minority Leader Peter Barca says Wisconsin lags the rest of the country because Republicans haven't focused on creating jobs or improving the economy for middle class workers.
Governor Scott Walker and Republican lawmakers this week offered a package of economic development bills that Barca has criticized as being minor "baby steps."
Walker had no immediate comment on the latest job figures. He has promised that under his leadership Wisconsin would add 250,000 private sector jobs by 2015.
Through the first two years of Walker's term the state added about 62,000 jobs.

Album Rating: 2.0Album is a joke...
Album Rating: 1.5Album is what happens when you mix metalcore heavily influenced by Cradle of Filth and Marilyn Manson. Meh. They would be better if they actually transitioned into a industrial influenced black metal band.
lol andcas I love it when you're trying to joke about things you don't understand
it's cute
Digging: Azealia Banks - Broke With Expensive Taste
Yet you have not heard Rain Upon The Impure
And if you honestly think that Stormblast is pseudo black metal then you should probably get your ears checked
That's what happens if you insult one of my favourite bands yeah
Album Rating: 2.0The hell is going on here?
I never denied that
Album Rating: 3.0I thought the Marilyn Manson combined with metalcore was a really bad ass combo. I really dont see why much shittier bands get a higher rating than this on this site i.e. Attack Attack!
Album Rating: 2.0What? This has a 2.9 and the highest rated AA album has a 2.5.
Album Rating: 2.0Album is bad
Album Rating: 2.0Has some decent moments, but it's so damn inconsistent. The more straightforward metalcore tracks are what they're better at. The Marilyn Manson-esque tracks are just awkward.
album rules naysayers

Topic: HTML
In Search of the Holy Grail
Just in case you might want a three-column layout that doesn't require the usual sacrifices, we thought we'd share this technique. Not that you'd want that or anything.
Bye Bye Embed
Break the chains of <embed> and live free. Elizabeth Castro explains how to embed movies without using invalid markup.
Community Creators, Secure Your Code! Part II
In part two of his two-part series on protecting your community site from malicious cross-site scripting attacks, Niklas Bivald rolls up his trousers and wades into the JavaScript.
CSS Swag: Multi-Column Lists
Multi-column lists: can't live with 'em, can't achieve perfect bliss without 'em. Paul Novitski offers a staggering six possible methods for accomplishing this commonly requested layout trick. Examine your options and choose wisely.
A More Accessible Map
Nifty web maps powered by Google and Yahoo! APIs are all the rage. And rage is what a visually impaired user may feel when trying to use them. Is there a way to make beautiful web maps accessible? In a word, yes.
Automatic Magazine Layout
You can't always count on having a professional designer around to resize and position your images for you, but you'd rather your page layout didn't look like it was created by orangutans. Harvey Kane builds a script that makes your life easier.
DOM Design Tricks
In Part One of a spankin' new series, Eisenberg shows you, step by step, how to use the W3C Document Object Model (DOM), Style Sheets, and JavaScript to pull off nifty design tricks and add value to your site's content.
DOM Design Tricks III: Using Events in the Document Object Model
Be a code wizard ... or, just look like one. In Part 3 of the DOM Design Tricks tutorial series,Eisenberg shows us how to dynamically change text on a page. The theory, examples, and scripts will work in Mozilla and IE5.
DOM Design Tricks II
Part 2 of this exclusive ALA series shows how to use the DOM's events and nodes to create nifty interactive menus and more. Design cool stuff while learning about emerging standards.
Win the SPAM Arms Race
SPAM is evil, moronic, and pervasive, but help is on the way. All it takes is a bit of JavaScript, a smidgen of PHP, and the ten minutes it takes to read this short, sweet tutorial. Reduce dreck mail with Dan Benjamin's easy-to-implement address encoder.
High Accessibility Is Effective Search Engine Optimization
It's no coincidence that search engines love highly accessible websites; in fact, by designing for accessibility, you're already using effective search-engine optimization techniques. Andy Hagans explains yet another reason to pay attention to accessibility.
CSS Sprites: Image Slicing's Kiss of Death
Say goodbye to old-school slicing and dicing when creating image maps, buttons, and navigation menus. Instead, say hello to a deceptively simple yet powerful sprite-based CSS solution.
Night of the Image Map
CSS design from beyond the grave: all the secret ingredients you'll need to resurrect the image map using CSS and structurally sensible XHTML.
CSS Design: Taming Lists
Do you crave the disciplined order of proper (X)HTML lists but long for control over their presentation? You can put a stop to their wild ways and bad behavior. Mark Newhouse shows you how to tame those lists by making them submit to your CSS while maintaining logical HTML structure.
High-Resolution Image Printing
Your client looks up and says, "Why does our logo look funny when we print the pages?" Do you sigh dramatically, or learn about Ross Howard's technique for printing high-resolution images via CSS? We vote for option B.
The Way It's Supposed to Work
Groundbreaking accessibility information. Project management and information architecture theory from old-school experts. Plug-and-play solutions to universal design and development problems. Experimental CSS/DOM hacks that use non-semantic elements to do funky design tricks. One of these things is not like the others...which is why we're introducing a tiny new feature to the magazine.
What the Hell is XML?
Attention, content managers, developers, site owners and designers: XML is here, and the time to start using it is now.
Accesskeys: Unlocking Hidden Navigation
Your favorite applications have shortcut keys. So can your site, thanks to the XHTML accesskey attribute. Accesskeys make sites more accessible for people who cannot use a mouse. Unfortunately, almost no designer uses accesskeys, because, unless they View Source, most visitors can't tell that you've put these nifty navigational shortcuts to work on your site. In this issue, Stuart Robertson unlocks the secret of providing visible accesskey shortcuts.
Validating a Custom DTD
In his article in this issue, Peter-Paul Koch proposes adding custom attributes to form elements to allow triggers for specialized behaviors. The W3C validator won't validate a document with these attributes, as they aren't part of the XHTML specification. Not to worry! This article will show you how to create a custom DTD that will add those custom attributes, and will also show you how to validate documents that use those new attributes.
More About Custom DTDs
Your web page uses non-standard elements, so, following the advice of earlier ALA articles, you bang out a custom DTD to make sure your document still validates. Not so fast, says the W3C's Quality Assurance team, who argue that crafting a custom DTD for the sole purpose of validation is a mistake … and then tell when it is the right thing to do.

The so-called "Super Bowl" of retail is finally upon us.
On Thursday afternoon, major U. S. retailers kicked off the annual shopping bonanza known as Black Friday, a weekend expected to generate $50 billion in sales.
While the busiest time of the holiday shopping season is really the weekend before Christmas, Black Friday really sets the tone for the season, and gives retailers a read on what's working and what's not, and what consumer mood is at the start of a season that generates 30% of annual profit for the industry.
The trailer was shown in 30 US cinemas on Friday as well as being released on iTunes. Director JJ Abrams tweeted that the teaser will contain just "a tiny peek at what we're working on". The film will hit theaters December 2015.

Why is L-Carnitine important?
It helps provide energy for the body at a cellular level:
L-carnitine is naturally found in food and synthesized in the body, where the heart and skeletal muscles rely on its ability to bring fatty acids into the cells, where it is used as fuel.*
Why use Vitaline® L-Carnitine ?
It provides pure, clinically-studied L-Carnitine for your heart health:*
Nearly 70% of the energy needed for your heart is derived from fatty acid breakdown. Vitaline® L-Carnitine transports fatty acids into the mitochondria of the cells, where it is burned for cellular energy where you need it most.*

Chicken raised here to be processed in China and sent back?
- coll Sep 15, 2013 09:49 AM
One of our local politicians is bringing this to the forefront in today's paper, apparently this in the near future.
"The USDA this month approved the sale of chickens raised in the United States but processed in China to be sold back in the United States."
Anyone know more than this? After all the pet food scares, not sure what to think.
It is insane for so many reasons. First off, not only will they allow these imports, but there will be no USDA inspectors over in China. The Chinese processors will be allowed to self-certify. OK, then. That's very reassuring, given that they've sent us melamine in pet food, lead in the paint on childrens' toys, toothpaste containing a component of antifreeze, and let's not forget about the toxic drywall. But what the heck, let's trust them to not slip in any chicken raised and slaughtered in China.
But what really blows my mind is the incredible waste involved in shipping chicken from the U.S. to China, processing it there, and shipping it back. What is the carbon cost of this ludicrous activity? And then we'll be upset when it turns out that the only way to do this profitably is to pay Chinese workers a pittance and force them to work in terrible conditions.
Will we ever learn?
There's already a thread here:
It was very quietly announced by the USDA. NO inspectors. This isn't just chicken - it's ANYTHING processed, such as chicken stock. Umm, did they forget both swine and avian flu in China?
As JV said - the cost factor to ship the chickens over there and then back? Insane. This needs to be put out in the news a LOT more. The outrage is not nearly high enough!
re: LindaWhit
Thanks, I'm not so in love with chicken that I can't cross it off my list.
re: LindaWhit
Oh please. an NPR opinion article? are you kidding?? Show me. via a ligit govt website, where this is valid.
re: treb
Show me a legit govt website.
re: Veggo
Not a website, but the official announcement
re: treb
I heard about it in the local papers, don't think the USDA is going to be bragging about it. My newspaper can't be linked, and I'm not saying the NY Post might be the best source of "legit": But it's apparently true either way. Chuck Schumer is on the case!
re: treb
Oh please, yourself.
Did you even bother to click on the NPR link that *HAS* a link to an official governmental announcement?
re: LindaWhit
All this states is that facilities have been audited for food safety inspection. In addition, it states that the poultry will be exported 'cooked' which the topic of this thread has omitted. Also, this has not been implemented. Do you feel the same about all imported foods? Look I don't think we should rely on China for anything, 'cus if we continue much further, ie fed debt bond purchases, they'll own us.
re: treb
treb 7 minutes ago:
"Do you feel the same about all imported foods?"
Imported from China? Yes.
re: bonoeuf
What about 'ALL' countries? Especially 3rd world?
re: treb
Chinese people in China won't even buy baby formular made there.
re: Bada Bing
It may be suddenly legal, but economically it makes no sense and is unlikely to happen or to be a source of concern.
Follow the money. Who is pushing the USDA to allow this to happen? Tyson? Walmart? Just wondering. And if we didn't insist our food be so cheap then there wouldn't be the incentive to lower and lower costs. All at the expense of our environment, workers both here and in china and our health.
Sounds good to me. Anything to drop the price of a 10 lb. bag of chicken quarters below $5 works for me. Plus we are exporting the processing waste that is polluting our rivers.
It is not like the vast majority of participants on this site are going to be purchasing these products in their normal grocery shopping.
I was commercial fishing in Alaska in 2007. I was told that some Alaska salmon was shipped to China for processing. Internet research proved it was true. One story I heard, some bad canned salmon was shipped from Alaska to the UK, as a result salmon processed in China was preferred over salmon processed in Alaska. Can any UK members comment on that?
Around that time, I heard that much of California's squid is shipped to China for processing.
If the price seems low, maybe it is "imported".
New York Times editorial board catches on:
And gets it wrong in alluding to avian flu. The following methods are among the dozen or so approved and required by the USDA to inactivate Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza:
• A heat treatment at a minimum of 56 degrees C for a minimum of 3 hours; OR
• A heat treatment at a minimum of 60 degrees C for a minimum of 30 minutes; OR
• A heat treatment at a minimum of 100 degrees C for a minimum of 20 minutes...
So that issue actually goes away. Why do we regard the writers and editors of even this most respected mainstream media outlet as any more knowledgeable or diligent than the rest of us? They didn't do their homework on this one.

You are hereTicketmaster (TKTM) @ $6
Ticketmaster (TKTM) @ $6
After some initial research, I chose Ticketmaster (TKTM), and ended up buying a minuscule position at $6.45, while I continue to do some due diligence before I decide whether to buy more or not.
What I like is that
(a) it is the market leader in online new ticket sales (see http://www.ticketnews.com/ticket_industry_rankings ),
(b) It also bought the 2nd largest resale ticket company Tickersnow
(c) It has been around for the last 30 years and has brand recognition.
It is cheap because
(i) Its largest client Live Nation has split and created a competing ticketing site
(ii) Live Nation has started to poach existing TKTM customers
(iii) People generally dislike TKTM pricing policies so they view this a start of a major erosion in TKTM's market share.
(iv) Lastly, there is a recession looming, and discretionary spending will fall. So the shares are selling at 3 x the trailing 12 months earnings.
I think the critical questions to ask is
(a) how much damage can LYV do to TKTM, firstly by sales conversion of stadiums and by lowering prices to fans
(b) How much are people going to cut back on entertainment ?
Well, firstly, this is the most serious threat, I do not know since there is a lot of posturing in the market, but currently LYV as the largest client, had about 20% of TKTM's revenues in 2008, so I can presume LYV can do a fantastic job of stealing another 20% elsewhere, LYV is strapped for cash, I doubt if their prices is lower than TKTM, current feedback from fans is that LYV is the highest price so far. On the second point, in one of TKTM's presentation, they alluded from a McKinsey Dec 08 study of the 1990~91 & 2001 & 2002 recessions that entertainment (in the form of tickets for events and trips) has the smallest cutback (-6%) in the household spending categories.
So let's assume the worst case scenario, revenue gets killed by 50%, and profit drops 70%, i do a simple blend of 2007 + 2008 (TTM) /2 * 30% = 40m net income. At this level TKTM is still selling around 8.5 times forward earnings. I could still be wrong in my analysis and the price is still quite attractive.
The upsides are there:
(a) LYV is in violation of debt covenants and goes into receivership
(b) Upside from ticketsnow.com (c) Recession is here but people cut back less on simple luxuries(like a concert) than large expenditure.

CLOSE CALL: Cora Bruno of MCS (on the ground) and Jefferson's third baseman Brittany Brovetto look to see the umpire's call after Bruno slid into third on a close play during action week. MCS won the contest, 16-13.
It was a see-saw contest, an up and down affair, and when it was over the Margaretville girls softball team was on top, 20-17, and first-year head coach Kyle Holden had his first victory.
Margaretville — The tournament season ended at Margaretville Bowl this past week with the conclusion of the three majors: Catskill Mountain Bowling Association Tournament, including Walton Lanes; the Pro-Am Tournament featuring the junior bowlers, and the 700 Club Tournament for those bowlers scoring 700 or higher in Margaretville league play.

For Margaretville pitching ace Kyle Short, the three most important pitches he throws are all fastballs: strike one, strike two, and strike three. Short turned in a brilliant pitching performance Monday night, striking out 16 Eagles to lead Margaretville past Downsville, 3-2, in the Delaware League opener for both teams.

Margaretville softball coach Kyle Holden is pleased with his team's offensive production in their first two contests. Holden's Blue Devils have plated 21 runners but that has not been enough to find the victory column.
Margaretville carried a 9-3 lead into the top of the fifth inning in its opener at South Kortright last Wednesday. The Blue Devils scored four runs in the second and third innings with Cora Bruno and Kate Short getting key hits in the rallies.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia - View original article
Craniosacral therapy (CST), or cranial-sacral therapy, is a form of bodywork or alternative therapy focused primarily on the concept of "primary respiration" and regulating the flow of cerebrospinal fluid by using therapeutic touch to manipulate the synarthrodial joints of the cranium. To do this, a practitioner will apply light touches to a patient's skull, face, spine and pelvis.[1] Craniosacral therapy was developed by John Upledger, D.O. in the 1970s, and is loosely based on osteopathy in the cranial field (OCF), which was developed in the 1930s by William Garner Sutherland.[2][3]
According to the American Cancer Society, although CST may relieve the symptoms of stress or tension, "available scientific evidence does not support claims that craniosacral therapy helps in treating cancer or any other disease".[1] CST has been characterized as pseudoscience[4] and its practice called quackery.[5]
Cranial Osteopathy, a forerunner of CST, was originated by osteopath William Sutherland (1873–1954) in 1898–1900. While looking at a disarticulated skull, Sutherland was struck by the idea that the cranial sutures of the temporal bones where they meet the parietal bones were "beveled, like the gills of a fish, indicating articular mobility for a respiratory mechanism.[6]
John Upledger devised CST. Comparing it to cranial osteopathy he wrote: "Dr. Sutherland's discovery regarding the flexibility of skull sutures led to the early research behind CranioSacral Therapy – and both approaches affect the cranium, sacrum and coccyx – the similarities end there."[7]
From 1970 to 1983, Upledger and neurophysiologist and histologist Ernest W. Retzlaff worked at Michigan State University as clinical researchers and professors. They assembled a research team to investigate the purported pulse and further study Sutherland's theory of cranial bone movement. Upledger and Retzlaff went on to publish their results, which they interpreted as support for both the concept of cranial bone movement, and the concept of a cranial rhythm.[8][9][10] Later reviews of these studies have concluded that their research did not meet enduring standards to offer conclusive proof for the effectiveness of craniosacral therapy and the existence of cranial bone movement.[11]
Practitioners of craniosacral therapy assert that there are small, rhythmic motions of the cranial bones attributed to cerebrospinal fluid pressure or arterial pressure. The premise of CST is that palpation of the cranium can be used to detect this rhythmic movement of the cranial bones and selective pressures may be used to manipulate the cranial bones to achieve a therapeutic result. However, the degree of mobility and compliance of the cranial bones is considered controversial and is a critically important concept in craniosacral therapy.[12]
The therapist lightly palpates the patient's body, and focuses intently on the communicated movements. A practitioner's feeling of being in tune with a patient is described as entrainment.[13] Patients often report feelings of deep relaxation during and after the treatment session, and may feel light-headed. This is popularly associated[by whom?] with increases in endorphins, but research shows the effects may actually be brought about by the endocannabinoid system.[14]
There are few reports of adverse events from CST treatment. In one study of craniosacral manipulation in patients with traumatic brain syndrome, the incidence of adverse effects from treatment was 5%.[15]
The Primary Respiratory Mechanism (PRM), the mechanism originally proposed by Sutherland, has been summarized in five ideas:[6]
The postulated intracranial fluid fluctuation is described by practitioners as an interaction between four main components: arterial blood, capillary blood (brain volume), venous blood and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF).[16][17]
There is research which demonstrates examiners are unable to measure craniosacral motion reliably, as indicated by a lack of inter-rater agreement among examiners.[18] The authors of this research conclude this "measurement error may be sufficiently large to render many clinical decisions potentially erroneous". Alternative medicine practitioners have interpreted this result as a product of entrainment between patient and practitioner,[13] a principle which lacks scientific support. The subject of whether or not craniosacral motion can be reliably palpated remains a subject of debate with studies producing mixed results.[19][20]
In 1970, Upledger observed during a surgical procedure on the neck what he described as a slow pulsating movement within the spinal meninges. He attempted to hold the membrane still and found that he could not due to the strength of the action behind the movement.[21]
The extent to which cranial bones are able to move is considered controversial and studies of the existence and degree of cranial motion have yielded mixed findings.[12] Cranial sutures are the areas in which the eight cranial bones are joined. During infancy, the cranial bones are not rigidly fused to each other,[22] but are instead bound together by a membrane known as a fontanelle where two sutures join. Between the first and second year of life, the cranial bones begin to move together and fuse as a normal part of development.[12] Studies examining the age of the closure of the cranial sutures have reported mixed findings. Closure has been reported to occur during adolescence while other studies indicate greater individual variability in the timing of this closure with fusion of the lambdoid suture, sagittal suture, and coronal sutures taking place in the fourth decade of life, but complete fusion of all sutures not occurring until advanced age[23] (the eighth decade of life has been reported);[12] some studies have found that the sutures never rigidly fuse.[12] According to Gray's Anatomy, "[w]hen such sutures are tied by sutural ligament and periosteum, almost complete immobility results".[24]
In October 2012 Edzard Ernst conducted a systematic review of randomised clinical trials of craniosacral therapy. He concluded that "the notion that CST is associated with more than non-specific effects is not based on evidence from rigorous randomised clinical trials".[25] Commenting specifically on this conclusion Ernst commented on his blog that he had chosen the wording as "a polite and scientific way of saying that CST is bogus."[26] Ernst also commented that the quality of five of the six trials he had reviewed was "deplorably poor," a sentiment prefigured by an earlier (August 2012) review which noted the "moderate methodological quality of the included studies."[6]
Ernst also criticized an earlier, 2011, systematic review performed by Jakel and von Hauenschild for inclusion of observational studies and including studies with healthy volunteers.[25] This review had concluded that the evidence base surrounding craniosacral therapy and its efficacy was sparse and composed of studies with heterogeneous design. The authors of this review had stated that currently available evidence was insufficient to draw conclusions.[27]
Proponents of craniosacral therapy (notably the Craniosacral Therapy Association of the United Kingdom) point to a number of small studies on their research page which they claim can, taken together, indicate beneficial changes for participants in those studies.[28][29]
Critics of craniosacral therapy commonly cite a sparse evidence base and the lack of a demonstrated biologically plausible mechanism as primary issues within the craniosacral therapy field. In the absence of rigorous, well-designed randomized controlled trials,[30][31] it has been characterized as pseudoscience,[4] and its practice called quackery.[5]

MICHIGAN CITY, Ind. Crews from the EPA and National Park Service began examining a Northern Indiana sand dune for potential problem areas similar to where 6-year-old Nathan Woessner was buried under 11 feet of sand for more than three hours.
For the past month, the area surrounding the 43-acre sand dune, Mt. Baldy, has been closed off to the public. Several geologists theorized that a long-buried tree trunk decayed beneath the dune and created the void that Woessner fell into, but no physical investigation started until Monday.
Chicago criminal investigative units facilitated the ground-sensing equipment and personnel used by the EPA. The special ground penetrating radar is about $30,000 per unit in addition to $5,000 for GPS.
EPA Region 5 spokesperson, Francisco Arcaute, explained that the device takes ultrasound photographs from some 30 feet below the surface.
"It allows us to get an idea of what's underneath the surface without damaging the top of the dune," Arcaute added that it is the same equipment used in both criminal investigations and hazardous waste investigations to locate things like trailers, drums and even storage tanks hidden underground.
If the EPA finds anything abnormal or different than what's expected, then it'll take additional measures and bring in other specialized equipment to determine what exactly it is.
Monday crews began pushing the device in parallel lines across the dune. Law enforcement specialist for the Indiana Dunes National Lakeshore, Ken Mehne, said they're using old photographs to determine where to start their search.
The park has been around since the 1960s and the living dune has consumed old boardwalks and trees as the sand erodes. Mehne explained that a restoration project has been going on for several years to slow down the rate of movement by planting dune grass.
But when the trees and vegetation die off, Mehne said there will be nothing keeping the sand and the dune from moving around. At one point there were houses along the dunes, however continual erosion makes the ground unstable.
There is still a conductivity to be done, said Supervisory Park Ranger Bruce Rowe, and until all the data is in, he and the EPA cannot offer anything but speculations.
Mehne added, "This is going to depend on what the data reveals, again there's not a lot of history or scientific data on this type of situation and I think it's going to take some evaluation once all the data is collected to determine what type of action to be taken at that point."
The investigation into the hole that trapped Woessner started the day after the rescue, July 13, and since then the National Parks Service has filled in the hole, including the decayed tree material found inside.
According to Rowe, until they determine what mechanism caused the hole—or any other hole for that matter—the dune will remain closed to the public. Rowe did say that there has been a lot of evidence of trees being covered by dunes in the past, "so we figure if it is trees decaying we'll probably find evidence somewhere else."
After the initial accident, rangers have heard from two individuals regarding similar holes.
The first was from a man who said he was walking along Mt. Baldy within the last several years and stepped into a hole which went up to his mid-thigh. The caller said he didn't report the incident because he wasn't hurt.
A second individual reported a similar hole to the one described to have trapped Woessner in a private dune in Southwestern Michigan.
"Depending on what's found with their investigations, then it'll be the next step. I truly don't know what the next step is until we get through this one," said Rowe.

Cal is my alma mater, something that I find to be a perpetual embarrassment. It was bad in the 1970s and 1980s. It's infinitely worse in the second decade of the 20th century.

You're leaving Wedding Paper Divas to see the Deal of the Day at our parent site, Tiny Prints.
You won't be able to dismiss this by usual means (escape or click button), but you can close it programatically based on user choices or actions.
"I liked this card because it was one of the few that I saw that allowed me to put our parents' names on the top as the invitees. We chose to print with rounded corners on Pearl White paper, and it looks elegant. The gold shimmers a little because of this, but it is not overwhelming. The paper quality is great, and is not too flimsy. I love it and I hope our guests will, too!"
"I love this look, it will bring professionalism and class with our wedding choices. I love the colors and the position of the invitation. This is what are invitations will portrayed."
"I ordered my cards after completing the design. I made further changes and nothing was too much trouble, the amendments were made without fuss. The paper quality of the invitations and the envelopes were excellent. They even came with a tissue insert for the envelope and an extra 7 cards as spares. Service was exceptional and delivery very quick Will definitely be recommending to friends and family."
"After searching for a card that was unique and had the colors we wanted it was such a relief to see these cards. We didn't have to change much. The design and quality fit our needs perfectly!"
"I decided to go with Wedding Paper Divas because I couldn't find any affordable cards with customisation options here in Lagos, Nigeria. And the luscious lacing design was just what I was looking for. Delivery wasn't an issue, as I got the package within two weeks of the shipping date, even with customs delays, so if you are ordering from overseas, don't be worried. Your cards will get to you on time. I was also worried about the gold design displaying properly on the cards, and I decided to go with the pearlescent shimmer card - I don't regret it. The card is beautiful! Print quality is great too, the designer did a good job of fitting all my information on the card. And I mixed up the dates, and she proofread and sent me corrections. All in all, I couldn't have made a better choice."
