Big Baby's Pizzeria & Pub conjures its menu of palate-pleasing pizzas and inspired appetizers out of organic, house-made pizza crust and top-notch ingredients. Cuisine architects can construct their own 14-inch piescraper with a base of made-from-scratch crust ($10.49), furnish it with jalapeños, black olives, and green peppers ($1.25 each), and top it off with a satellite dish. Or place your gustatory fate in the chef's capable hands by sinking carnivorous incisors into the meat lovers' pizza stacked with every available meat plus extra cheese to meld meats together ($17.99). Wanderlusting taste buds can dip into one of Big Baby's international pizzas, such as the thai pizza, which awakens senses with spicy ground meat and cilantro ($15.99). Guests can further accentuate their sliced experience by dipping slices of french bread into flavor-packed saucers of roasted garlic cloves and seasoned olive oil ($3.25).
Liberty, Missouri, is slightly out of the delivery zone of most Chicago pizzerias, so when Jason and Mattie Ransom moved there, they needed another way to get their fix of deep-dish pizza. They decided to try their hand at recreating their favorite pie from scratch, unknowingly laying the groundwork for Dish Famous Stuffed Pizza.
The Ransom's homespun recipe for Chicago-style deep-dish pizza has lasted more than 15 years, first gracing the tables of their restaurant before spreading out to grocery stores and forward-thinking vending machines. At their eatery, they still sling dough each day, complementing deep-dish disks with thin-crust and hand-tossed pies, half-pound Black Angus burgers, Chicago-style italian beef sandwiches, and 50 different bottles of imported and craft beer.
Cooking up Italian staples and baking pizza has been a Walker family tradition since 1969, first at a pizza franchise and now at their own Old Shawnee Pizza and Italian Kitchen. They use the skills they've perfected over the last 40 years to make everything from their Alfredo-topped ravioli stuffed with three types of seafood to their Midwest-style pizzas on homemade dough.
They first top their inventive pizzas with sauces such as the classic red, salsa, spicy peanut, or garlic olive oil. From there, they use their multitude of unique toppings to create most any pie their customers can dream up, barring ones that bear an uncanny resemblance to Burt Reynolds. They also cook up specialty pizzas such as the Caribbean Jerk, made with jerk sauce, chicken, onions, pineapple, and roasted red peppers.
Before the owners of Pie Zano's Pizzeria opened their restaurant, they knew that their toughest critics would be their own relatives. That's because they planned for their menu to include the time-tested recipes that were passed down for generations. After receiving high marks in a family taste test, they flung open the doors of the neighborhood eatery to share their creations with the community. For an added touch of freshness, their specialty pizzas, meatball subs, and pastas boast ingredients culled from local sources. The family-owned establishment also shows its dedication to the community by supporting area youth sports programs.
Wheat State Pizza! has more kinds of pizza than a high school football coach has inspiring halftime speeches. The abundance comes from a rainbow of options diners mix-and-match to create unique combinations, starting with a whole wheat, white, or gluten-free crust topped with homemade sauces in flavors such as traditional red and whipped cream cheese. On that base, diners can construct a masterpiece pie from a palette of more than 30 toppings including standards such as pepperoni and sausage along with gourmet variants sunflower seeds, avocado, and soy cheese. Though diners don't need to assemble their own combination to enjoy a pie, as, like the Christmas list of a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle, the menue includes 15 types of specialty pizza. Creations such as the chicken carbonara treat mouths to a velvety blend of alfredo sauce, chicken, mushrooms, mozzarella, and bacon atop a hand-tossed or thin crust. Non-pizza options include the Crispy Chicken Salad and philly cheese steak sandwiches with chicken or beef. Diners can end their meals on a sweet note with one of the restaurant's medley of dessert pizzas, which layer wheat crust with saccharine toppings such as cream-cheese frosting, and apple pie filling.
After a career of playing professional baseball, Bill Kelso hung up his jersey, tied on his apron, and started the original Kelso's Pizza in 1969. Located near William Jewell College, the pizzeria quickly became a favorite haunt of the Chiefs players while they attended training camp. Despite relocating the restaurant, the current owners, Jeff and Kelly, still honor their father's storied sports legacy; vintage photographs, jerseys, and generations of family trophies line the dining room's walls while six flat-screen televisions play live sports broadcasts or chat with each other about their fantasy baseball teams.
Kelso's Pizza strives to be more than a sports bar, though. Instead, the family emphasizes serving pizzeria staples in a family-friendly environment. The menu brims with baseball-themed names, like the Grand Slam pizza with eight hearty toppings—including sausage, mushrooms, and julienned stat sheets—and a host of toasted sandwiches, such as the Pennant Winner, a roast beef delight oozing with melted provolone and Kelso's buttermilk dressing.

First responders had a chance to unwind Wednesday night as firefighters played police in a softball game at TD Ameritrade Park.
We met Mike Dempsey is the stands. He was cheering on his son who is and OPD officer.
"I think it's pretty neat that both the firemen and the police can get together," he said. "They work together pretty well and it's good they can have some fun camaraderie. I'm not sure how much athleticism is on one of the team's. I won't mention what team."

Lil Boosie's first post-prison press conference is set to air live March 10 via BoosieSpeaks.com, according to HotNewHipHop.
On March 5, when Boosie was released from prison, NOLA published a report saying Lil Boosie would partake in a March 10 press conference. The rapper, who was incarcerated due to drug charges included an Atlantic Records logo in the invitation.
"He will absolutely be there," an Atlantic Records representative said in the NOLA report. "He'll be speaking to the press for the first time ... after his release."
Despite the logo being included in the press conference invitations, the Atlantic Records rep would not confirm or deny Boosie's signing to the label.
"(Lil Boosie) is actually going to be clearing all that stuff up for everybody there, so I'm going to let him relay that information," the representative said, as per NOLA.
The promotional image for the press conference is below.

ARLINGTON -- Art Briles set out to change the culture of a moribund Baylor football program when he was hired as coach in 2007. Saturday's 52-45 overtime victory over Texas Tech at Cowboys Stadium was another milestone moment for the Bears.The win makes Baylor (6-5, 3-4) bowl eligible for an unprecedented third straight season and is its second consecutive victory over Texas Tech after dropping their first 15 Big 12 meetings."It's hard to do in this league and the reason is because when we went to 10 teams, that meant you have to win three conference games to get bowl eligible," Briles said. "Everybody in this conference can beat you, so I'm appreciative of our team becoming bowl eligible in what I think is the toughest conference top to bottom in the United States of America."Appropriately billed as the Texas Farm Bureau Shootout, the game featured a combined 1,241 yards of offense and 97 points, though a handful of Baylor defensive plays proved decisive.The Bears took their first lead at 35-31 on a pick-six by linebacker Eddie Lackey, who returned an errant throw by Tech's Seth Doege 55 yards on the fourth quarter's opening play."We had good pressure, and he was rattled running around back there," said Lackey, who finished with five tackles, two interceptions and a fumble recovery. "I tried to step back underneath the curl. I don't think he saw me and it ended up in my hands."The lead flip-flopped three more times in the fourth before Baylor tied it at 45-45 on Aaron Jones' 22-yard field goal.Lackey's second interception came on Texas Tech's ensuing possession, but Jones missed a 48-yard field goal to end regulation.The Bears ran the ball four straight times to open OT, finding the end zone on a 4-yard run by Glasco Martin, who finished with 98 yards and two scores. Baylor's Lache Seastrunk added a game-high 136 yards rushing.Needing a score to extend the game, Tech faced fourth-and-5 at the 20, but Baylor cornerback Joe Williams broke up a pass intended for Eric Ward.Texas Tech ended the regular season with its fourth loss in five games despite totaling 567 yards.Doege threw for 359 yards and three touchdowns and added another 58 yards and a score on the ground. His favorite target was Darrin Moore, who hauled in a game-high 13 passes for 186 yards and two touchdowns."We knew this would be a high-scoring game," Tech coach Tommy Tuberville said. "We felt we would have to score 45, that was our number. It wasn't enough."The Bears, who entered the contest with the No. 2 offense in the FBS at 566 yards a game, racked up a Cowboys Stadium-record 674 total yards.Receiver Terrance Williams continued his destruction of Big 12 defenses with seven grabs for 175 yards and a touchdown. His performance moved him to the top of the Baylor record book in both career all-purpose yards (4,554) and single-season receiving yards (1,693), surpassing Kendall Wright in both categories.The victory was especially sweet for Baylor quarterback Nick Florence, who had the unenviable task of replacing Robert Griffin III this season. The senior had 447 yards of total offense and four touchdowns."It's been a journey for all of us," Florence said. "No one said we could do this and looking a month ago, people were writing us off. I'm proud of this team and wouldn't want to be with anybody else."Jarret Johnson, 817-390-7760Twitter: @JohnsonJarret

Complicating matters are a dearth of qualified, experienced compliance professionals and the challenge of obtaining timely and accurate data from accounting and ERP systems and shared service centers not often set up for in-country compliance. Given these challenges, it's not surprising that tax and finance departments often spend a disproportionate amount of time on compliance activities, rather than focusing on higher value activities such as strategic tax planning, risk management and closer integration with the rest of the business.
As a result, many companies are looking for more consistent, more efficient and more cost effective ways to meet their compliance obligations.

Your Turn, NH: We need to put our children above the Second Amendment
I had the good fortune to travel to Canberra, the capital of Australia, this December on business. While there, I learned of Australia's methodology for gun control. They experienced a mass murder in the state of Tasmania several years ago, and the prime minister at the time took the politically controversial move of promoting stricter gun-ownership laws along with a gun buyback program. Both were successful.
Farmers who are running an active farm and members of registered gun clubs who are in good standing are allowed to own firearms for the purpose of managing livestock, killing predators, and target practice and competitions. This seems like a really good compromise.
Australians have asked me, "Is America really that dangerous that everyone must carry a gun with them?" I am embarrassed, as an American, to receive these questions when I travel abroad. Of course, I inform them that it's really not that dangerous in America except in poverty-stricken and decaying neighborhoods of major cities.
I think it is important that we take a fresh look at the intent of the Second Amendment of the United States Constitution. The framers of the Constitution never foresaw that technological advances in firearms would allow an individual urban dweller to rapidly discharge 30 rounds of ammunition with a highly precise military-grade gun. The technology of the 1700s was vastly simpler than it is today. Rifles, muskets and handguns of the 1700s were muzzle-loading, single-shot weapons that took about a minute to reload with a bullet and charge. The country was a frontier that the colonists had to defend at risk of life and limb. So it made sense that they had the right to keep and bear arms in the 1700s and 1800s while the continent was being settled.
Today our needs as a society are vastly different. We are no longer at war with Britain, France, Canada, Spain or the Native American nations that once claimed territory that is now sovereign U.S. territory. We are no longer a largely agricultural society. Most citizens live in or near major cities, where discharging a firearm is largely prohibited except in extreme cases of self-defense. Most Americans work in either an industrial, office or service setting today. Very few have a need to carry or use firearms in their daily lives.
What is more important in 2013 America: Children being able to walk to and attend school without fear of being gunned down by someone that day, or the Second Amendment guaranteeing the right to keep and bear arms? One has to be more important than the other.
I think it is time for Congress to respect their primary role of elected office, which is to pass meaningful legislation that protects the American people. It is high time to put aside partisan politics, ignore the influences of well-funded lobbyists and pass strong legislation that will enact stricter gun control and ownership in the United States. Sometimes we have to protect ourselves from ourselves.
I respect the Second Amendment and the entire U.S. Constitution; however, it is not a static document. It has evolved over time to include the abolition of slavery, the right of women to vote, the prohibition of alcohol and then its repeal, and a total of 27 amendments since the document was first drafted.
I don't own or keep guns at home, even though I am perfectly within my rights to do so. There is no need for a gun in my home, as I have four young boys and am afraid of an accident. I did not grow up with guns in the home either. The only time I have ever used a gun is in the military.
What will our descendants think in 225 years when the technology of hand-held firearms makes today's Glock 9 mm look like a 1780s single-shot, lead ball pistol? We cannot even imagine what technology will produce in 225 years, just as our ancestors who framed the U.S. Constitution could not imagine what today's guns are capable of doing.

It has many possible uses. Does what it said's.
And the developer is very active in the forum (Answer the same day) and is still developing the component.
And I feel it will grove.
The Documentation is excellent. Lot to read.
I wish he put one donation button somewhere.
The only thing I see as negative is it uses own DB tables. It will be lot of work exporting if you decide to use another blog/article component.
It works well and, very important, Bernard grants a first class assistance.
I had some problems with permission settings and he not only helped me, but also added a functionality I needed.
The component has a lot of options and need a little attention to be configured, but this also grants a lot of freedom; I looked the code for only a little time (as I said the developer solved my problems before I could try to add something by myself ) but I have to say it seems well written and clean, with useful comments along it (sometimes they are in french but often in english).
Very good component, thank you very much Bernard!
This component does seem unique - I looked for other ways to do this and didn't find anything else that fit the bill.
I was so happy that after long search I found extension that had all the options I need, all except one.
It would be so cool If user could see just his pages using module.
It would also be great if I could use Joomla access levels instead of just 3 pre-defined.
Thank for the review! You can use the Joomla ACL for the global configuration for all pages & user and you can use the 3 extra options for a specific page.
For extra usages (see the page using module, extra nneds … ) and questions I invite you to post using my forum for the component.
I had a problem with the configuration of my server which meant it took a while to get it up and running, but Bernard provided exceptional support; in fact a better level of support than I've had for some paid-for components.
I went to the Forum and posted my issues. I didn't have to wit long when Bernard started helping me, and in no time both issues was resolved, and the main one was not even his extension's fault but a directory permission error.
I recommend Bernard and this extension to anyone.
Two thumbs WAY UP !!!
Thank you Bernard
I do not recommend it.
I suggest, as others extension authors for your reviews, to post on my support forum to participate constructively in the community extensions
Thank you for this free extension.

Please use the Forum in my website to fully explain your query to have it included in the plugin for Jomsocial
Also would like to see the URL's SEF enabled so that when a users uses there link its stays sef enabled rather than showing the deep article link.

On the paved path, a minivan converted into a hearse carried another coffin, this one containing James Judson, who was born in 1937 and died on March 18, 2011. For the next interment, Dumeyer and Kenneth Hardin Sr., who was driving the hearse for Owen Funeral Home, needed to get to Meadow View Cemetery, off Dixie Highway south of the Gene Snyder. "We'll see you at the next one," Hardin said to Dumeyer, "and do it again."
Last year, the coroner's office, in Dumeyer's words, "took care of" about 300 people — 200 potter's field burials, 80 cremations and 20 veterans laid to rest at Fort Knox. Since 2005 the number has more than tripled, and on average Dumeyer organizes three or four services a week. "It is a sign of the times that people are dying without the means to pay for a funeral," Dumeyer said. "We want to make sure these folks don't fall through the cracks."
A person is eligible if he or she didn't own property or a car or have life insurance, a burial policy, etc. "If somebody's got a vehicle that's sitting up on blocks, I'm not going to deny them," Dumeyer said. "If the families can help, if there is any possibility they can help offset the costs, we'll take it. We want to be good stewards of the taxpayers' money, but we always want to be good stewards of taking care of people who need ourhelp."
Whether a traditional burial or cremation, the coroner's office pays $495 to Owen Funeral Home. An additional $235 covers the cost of opening and closing the grave. When the funeral home got involved almost a decade ago, Hardin said, he and other staffers cleared out their closets and donated old suits for dressing the deceased. Now he makes trips to Goodwill, searching for slacks and shirts that are oftentimes nicer than what some of the people they bury owned while living. "A lot of times, their address is listed as 'city at large,'" Hardin said.
Dumeyer works on the seventh floor of a Barret Avenue government building that used to be a hospital, with the coroner's office on one end and the medical examiner on the other. First thing most days, he scans obituaries in the Courier-Journal. He spends so much time in his car driving to Meadow View that he calls the ride his "apartment." (At the graveyard, if somebody forgets to bring a CD player but wants to play a song — "Amazing Grace" or something by, say, Andrea Bocelli or the Rolling Stones — Dumeyer said he'll open his sedan's four doors and crank up the volume knob.) During an interview in his office, Dumeyer told a story about how when he was working for the police department, he was located in the same building as the coroner. "I saw people who had exhausted all other avenues and were asking for help burying their loved ones," Dumeyer said. "I knew I wanted to oversee the program."
In 2005, after 27 years on the police force, Dumeyer was the last person in his recruiting class to retire. He began coordinating prayer services in April 2006 and took over the indigent program that December, three years after the coroner's office, led by then coroner Ron Holmes, started handling burials. The city's social services department was in charge before then, and Holmes wanted the coroner's office to take the lead in an attempt to streamline the process. Since 2003, the agency has buried about 1,000 bodies at River Valley, which is the final resting place for about three times that many paupers. When this story was published, the city had already interred almost 30 adults at Meadow View, which opened last December.
About halfway into the hour-long interview, Dumeyer began recounting emotional memories. "In some instances," he said, "I've actually buried two or three people from the same family. They're living in poverty and will come in and go, 'Buddy, you buried my brother last year and my sister just died.'" With each story, Dumeyer could recall names. "I remember all of them," he whispered, fighting to get the words out.
"Knowing all the struggles these people faced in life, there they are, side-by-side. I feel like we give them that peace they've been looking for, like we put everything back together again," he said. "When we buried the last person (at River Valley), one of the hardest things I've had to do was to drive out of there, knowing that I wouldn't be going in there at least once a week. I remember pulling my car out and just sitting and thinking for a long time."
At Meadow View, six St. Xavier High School students rolled James Judson's denim-colored, compressed-wood casket out of the back of Hardin's hearse and placed it on two metal stands beneath a collapsible green canopy. It was Adam Roth's first time serving as a pallbearer, and he made sure the wind didn't ruffle the cloth pall spread over the coffin. The 17-year-old, who is on St. X's power-lifting team, would later comment on how the casket's heaviness surprised him. Judson's 47-year-old daughter, Kathy Suiter, and her husband and her two sons listened as the students and Ben Kresse, who teaches spirituality at St. X, conducted the prayer service. "Before I found out about this program,"Suiter said, "I thought I'd have to have my father cremated because he was indigent."

Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension (DASH) is a flexible and balanced eating plan that is based on research studies sponsored by the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI). These studies showed that DASH lowers high blood pressure and improves levels of blood lipids (fats in the bloodstream), which reduces the risk of developing cardiovascular disease.
DASH requires no special foods and it includes easy-to-follow recipes (for example, browse the Delicious Heart Healthy Recipes from the NHLBI).
The DASH eating plan:
In terms of nutrition content, DASH is:
The DASH eating plan is lower in sodium (mostly from salt) than the typical American diet. The DASH research showed that an eating plan containing 2,300 milligrams (mg) of sodium per day lowered blood pressure. An eating plan containing only 1,500 mg of sodium per day even further lowered blood pressure.
The "Dietary Guidelines for Americans, 2010" advises reducing sodium intake to less than 2300 mg per day.
People in the following groups should reduce sodium intake further, to 1,500 mg of sodium per day:
Below is a table that shows the daily nutrient goals used in the DASH studies.
|Total fat
|27% of calories
|Saturated fat
|6% of calories
|18% of calories
|55% of calories
|150 mg
|2,300 mg*
|4,700 mg
|1,250 mg
|500 mg
|30 g
For more detailed information about the DASH eating plan, go to the NHLBI's "Your Guide to Lowering Your Blood Pressure With DASH."
Your doctor may recommend the DASH eating plan if you have high blood pressure. Blood pressure is the force of blood pushing against the walls of the arteries as the heart pumps out blood. Blood pressure rises and falls during the day.
If blood pressure rises and stays high over time (high blood pressure), it can damage the body in many ways. High blood pressure also is called hypertension (HI-per-TEN-shun).
Blood pressure includes systolic (sis-TOL-ik) and diastolic (di-ah-STOL-ik) pressures. "Systolic" refers to blood pressure when the heart beats while pumping blood. "Diastolic" refers to blood pressure when the heart is at rest between beats.
You'll most often see blood pressure numbers written with the systolic number above or before the diastolic number, such as 120/80 mmHg. (The mmHg is millimeters of mercury—the units used to measure blood pressure.)
Blood pressure is considered high if it stays at or above 140/90 mmHg over time. If you have diabetes or chronic kidney disease, high blood pressure is defined as 130/80 mmHg or higher. A diagnosis of high blood pressure is based on an average of two or more properly measured, seated blood pressure readings done during two or more office visits.
High blood pressure is dangerous because it makes your heart work too hard. The condition can damage your blood vessels and organs, such as your heart, kidneys, brain, and eyes.
High blood pressure is a risk factor for coronary heart disease and stroke, two of the leading causes of death among Americans. High blood pressure also can put you at risk for other medical conditions, such as heart failure, kidney disease, and blindness.
For more information about high blood pressure, go to the Health Topics High Blood Pressure article.
Following the DASH eating plan and eating less sodium (salt) can lower high blood pressure or your risk for the condition. Following DASH also can improve blood lipid levels, which also helps reduce your cardiovascular risk.
Results from the DASH research showed that following a DASH plan containing 2,300 milligrams (mg) of sodium per day lowered blood pressure. Following a DASH plan containing 1,500 mg of sodium lowered blood pressure even more (systolic blood pressure was lowered by about 7 to 12 mmHg).
One important note: If you take medicine to control high blood pressure, you should keep taking it. However, you should tell your doctor that you're now following the DASH eating plan.
The DASH eating plan is easy to follow using common foods available in your grocery store. The plan includes daily servings from different food groups. The number of servings you should have depends on your daily calorie (energy) needs.
To figure out your calorie needs, you need to consider your age and physical activity level. If you want to maintain your current weight, you should eat only as many calories as you burn by being physically active. This is called energy balance. (For more information about energy balance, go to the Health Topics Overweight and Obesity article.)
If you need to lose weight, you should eat fewer calories than you burn or increase your activity level to burn more calories than you eat.
Consider your physical activity level. Are you sedentary, moderately active, or active?
Use the chart below to estimate your daily calorie needs.
|Age (years)
|Calories Needed for Sedentary Activity Level
|Calories Needed for Moderately Active Activity Level
|Calories Needed for Active Activity Level
|Age (years)

Making other heart healthy lifestyle changes while following the DASH eating plan is the best way to prevent or control high blood pressure. For example, try to maintain a healthy weight, be physically active, make healthy eating choices, and don't smoke.
Maintaining a healthy weight is an important part of a heart healthy lifestyle. If you're overweight or obese, you can lose weight while following the DASH eating plan. By reducing your daily calorie intake by 500 to 1,000 calories, you can slowly lose weight.
A weight loss of 1 to 2 pounds a week is do-able, safe, and will help you keep off the weight. To create a weight-loss or weight-maintenance plan that's right for you, talk with your doctor or a registered dietitian.
For more information about maintaining a healthy weight or losing weight, go to the Health Topics Overweight and Obesity article.
Physical activity also is an important part of a heart healthy lifestyle. You can benefit from as little as 60 minutes of moderate-intensity aerobic activity per week. Walking is an excellent heart healthy activity. The more active you are, the more you'll benefit.
You can do aerobic activity with light, moderate, or vigorous intensity. If you choose activities at a moderate intensity level, aim to do at least 2 hours and 30 minutes (150 minutes) per week. If you choose vigorous-intensity activities, do at least 1 hour and 15 minutes (75 minutes) per week. You can do these activities for 10 minutes or more at a time. In addition, try to include muscle-strengthening activities at least 2 days per week.
Children and youth should do 1 hour (60 minutes) or more of physical activity every day; at least 3 days per week the activity should be of vigorous intensity. A great way to encourage physical activity is to do it as a family.
To get started and stay active, make physical activity part of your daily routine, keep track of your progress, and be active and safe.
If you have a heart problem or chronic disease—such as high blood pressure, heart disease, or diabetes—ask your doctor what types of physical activity are safe for you.
You also should ask your doctor about safe physical activities if you have symptoms such as chest pain or dizziness.
For more information about physical activity, go to the Health Topics Physical Activity and Your Heart article.
Reduce Sodium
While following the DASH eating plan, choose and prepare foods with less sodium (salt). Be creative—try herbs, spices, lemon, lime, vinegar, and salt-free seasoning blends while cooking and at the table to add flavor to your foods. For examples of how to season foods without using salt, visit the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute's (NHLBI's) Flavor That Food Web page.
Most of the sodium that people eat comes from processed foods. So, make sure you read the Nutrition Facts label on prepared foods to check the amount of sodium in each item.
For more information about how to read a Nutrition Facts label, see boxes 10 and 11 in the NHLBI's "Your Guide to Lowering Your Blood Pressure With DASH."
Buy low-sodium, reduced-sodium, or no salt added versions of foods when they're available. Rinse all canned vegetables and beans before cooking and eating them.
Increase Potassium-Rich Foods
The DASH eating plan includes foods rich in potassium, such as fruits and vegetables, to help keep blood pressure levels healthy. In general, potassium should come from food sources only, not supplements. To find information on the potassium content of selected foods, search the USDA National Nutrient Database for Standard Reference at http://ndb.nal.usda.gov/.
Reduced-sodium products and salt substitutes likely contain potassium chloride as a main ingredient. This substance may harm people who have certain medical conditions, such as diabetes and kidney disease. Check with your doctor before trying reduced-sodium products and salt substitutes that contain potassium chloride.
Limit Alcohol
If you drink alcoholic beverages, do so in moderation: up to 1 drink per day for women and up to 2 drinks per day for men. A drink equals 12 fluid ounces of regular beer, 5 fluid ounces of wine, or 1.5 fluid ounces of 80-proof distilled spirits.
If you smoke or use tobacco, quit. Smoking harms nearly every organ in the body, including the heart, blood vessels, lungs, eyes, mouth, reproductive organs, bones, and digestive organs. Also, try to avoid secondhand smoke.
Talk with your doctor about programs and products that can help you quit. If you have trouble quitting smoking on your own, consider joining a support group. Many hospitals, workplaces, and community groups offer classes to help people quit smoking. Ask your family and friends to support you in your efforts to quit.
For more information about how to quit smoking, go to the Health Topics Smoking and Your Heart article and the NHLBI's "Your Guide to a Healthy Heart."
To get started on the DASH eating plan, begin with the following changes over a few days or weeks. This will give you a chance to adjust to the changes and make them part of your daily routine:
For more information and tips on how to adopt the DASH eating plan, including a week of DASH menus, go to the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute's "Your Guide to Lowering Your Blood Pressure With DASH."
The DASH eating plan might have more servings of fruits, vegetables, and whole-grain foods than you're used to eating. Slowly increase your servings of these foods over several weeks.
If you have trouble digesting dairy products, try taking lactase enzyme pills with these foods. These pills are available at drug stores and grocery stores. You also can buy lactose-free or lactose-reduced milk at the grocery store.
If you don't like nuts or are allergic to them, use seeds or legumes (cooked dried beans or peas) as part of your eating plan.
If you take medicines to control your high blood pressure, keep taking them. However, you should tell your doctor that you're now following the DASH eating plan.
You may stray from the DASH eating plan or your other lifestyle changes. If so, don't let it keep you from reaching your health goals. Get back on track. Below are some ideas that may help you:
The NHLBI updates Health Topics articles on a biennial cycle based on a thorough review of research findings and new literature. The articles also are updated as needed if important new research is published. The date on each Health Topics article reflects when the content was originally posted or last revised.

A new ΣΔ modulator architecture that shapes digital-to-analog converter (DAC) mismatches in a manner similar to quantization noise shaping is proposed, allowing operation with low oversampling ratios, high-resolution quantizers, and compact logic. It is shown that the proposed architecture entails a smaller feedback logic delay than data-weighted-averaging techniques, providing a fourfold delay reduction for a 6-bit feedback DAC. The front-end integrator implementation also exhibits 25% less kT/C noise than conventional architectures.

November 28, 2014
HAVANA (AP) - The young Cuban raft boy who was the subject of a high-profile international custody dispute more than a decade ago is making his first trip overseas since he was reunited with his father in 2000.
Cuban state media say Elian Gonzalez is in Ecuador as part of a delegation to this week's 23rd World Festival of Youth and Students.
Gonzalez was 6 when he was rescued from the waters off Florida and taken to the United States. His mother perished.
A battle began between Gonzalez's father, who demanded he be returned to Cuba, and Miami relatives who insisted the boy stay with them.
Gonzalez recently turned 20. He said in an interview published in official media that he has never regretted his father's decision to push for custody.

The Orlando Magic's plans for an entertainment district to complement Amway Center took another step forward Monday as the Orlando City Council voted to approve construction of the complex across the street from Amway Center.
The complex will be modeled after similar entertainment districts in Los Angeles and Memphis, among others, and will be sustaining itself year-round with shopping, restaurants and convention space. This is not an area completely dependent upon events at the Amway Center.
The $200 million project from SED Development, LLC, a sister company to the Magic, is a really exciting development for a continuing to-grow Downtown Orlando. It will surely become a hot spot for nightlife and for those visiting the City Beautiful in the near future.
"We've been talking for about 10 years now about trying to create a new downtown for Orlando and what these venues can do to create economic development and spur other mixed-use development. Because of the recession, it never happened," Magic CEO Alex Martins said. "So this is the opportunity to get it really started and be the spark. Hopefully, this is just the beginning. Hopefully there will be other developments that pop up and revitalize downtown so that locals want to live and work and play and eat and be entertained."
The Amway Center was always designed to help revitalize Downtown Orlando on the other side of I-4 and bring some much-needed economic boost to the Parramore area (granted, there is some displacement and urban sprawl issues that advocates for the neighborhood will rightfully point toward in saying this does not actually help Parramore or its community residents). For visitors to Orlando and for those looking for service industry jobs this will be a good thing. It should add to Orlando's profile as a city too as the design looks very modern and integrated with Amway Center.
Add in the Orlando City Soccer Club stadium set to be built at the edge of the entertainment complex, and there will certainly be a lot going on in and around this area year round.
The construction will begin with the demolition of the parking lot across the fan plaza on Church Street. The Orlando Police Department headquarters will also be demolished in the project once they relocate to a new headquarters. Slowly but surely, the area around the arena will be transformed.
Hopefully by the time this is completed in 2017 or 2018, the Magic will be back in the championship hunt.
