Eden offers a large selection of food in bulk sizes for food service professionals and families. Eden Green Lentils in a 25 pound bag is an excellent value for health conscious chefs who appreciate quality, nutrition, safety and superb flavor.
Lentils Lens culinaris are a legume, not a bean. They are small 'lens' or disc shaped. Native to the Middle East lentils have been an important staple food for over 8,000 years and are mentioned in the Book of Genesis where Esau sells his birthright to Jacob for a thick bowl of lentil soup. Lentils come in many colors, ours are the finest quality bright green when dry.
Lentils are an excellent source of dietary fiber providing 44 percent daily value per serving. They are also rich in thiamin (B1), and folate (B9), providing 40 percent daily value per serving. Lentils have an excellent amino acid profile that is comparable to that of soybeans. They are also a source of good complex carbohydrate, and essential fatty acids (EFAs) when cooked, according to the USDA Nutrient Database. They are a good source of calcium, iron, panatothenic acid, phosphorus, magnesium, zinc, and copper.
According to the FDA, "Low fat diets rich in fruits and vegetables (foods that are low in fat and may contain dietary fiber, Vitamin A, or Vitamin C) may reduce the risk of some types of cancer, a disease associated with many factors," and "Diets low in sodium may reduce the risk of hypertension or high blood pressure, a disease with many factors." Eden Green Lentils are fat and cholesterol free, rich in dietary fiber, and naturally sodium free.
Studies show beans contain a wealth of antioxidants similar to those in fruits and berries. "Beans are really loaded with antioxidant compounds," said Clifford Beninger, Ph.D., an environmental biologist and former researcher for the USDA's Bean Research Unit. "We didn't know how potent they were until now. In general darker colored seed coats were associated with higher levels of flavonoids, and therefore higher antioxidant activity." Researchers tested the antioxidant activity of flavonoids found in 12 common varieties of dry beans. They found one class of compounds in particular, anthocyanins, were the most active antioxidants in beans. These findings add antioxidant activity to a growing list of healthy compounds found in beans and legumes. The study was published in the Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry.
Lentils are excellent as a soup, spread or side dish. They will stay fresh for several years if stored properly in a dark, cool, dry area, however we recommend using them within two years of purchase. To prepare lentils rinse thoroughly and strain, then add fresh water to cover them by 2 inches. Bring to a boil, add your favorite vegetables and spices, reduce heat, cover and simmer for about one hour. Season with Eden Sea Salt or shoyu soy sauce when almost done. Lentils are not generally recommended for pressure cooking (due to their small size they tend to clog the vent). Great cooked with brown rice, in salads, grain burgers and for lentil paté.

The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks is both a story of scientific progress and a biography of the poor Southern family whose matriarch, Henrietta Lacks, made that progress possible. It is also a critical exploration of the interplay between science, race, class, and ethics in the United States. Finally, it is, at times, the personal narrative of Rebecca Skloot, a reporter who worked for 10 years to learn these stories and to tell them. Cassandra Campbell's performance captures the full range of tone in these elegantly woven narratives. She delivers what the story demands of her, uniting several storytelling styles into one single, dynamic voice.
In her narration, Campbell makes particularly masterful use of distance and proximity. At some points in the story, she has the cool tone of an investigative reporter, duly noting the gruesome evidence of patient mistreatment at the Hospital for the Negro Insane in the 1950s or the horrors of medical malpractice in the Tuskegee Syphilis Study. When she tells the stories of the members of the Lacks family, her voice is warm and compassionate, but still carries the distinct distance of a biographer/observer. And, at a few rare but poignant moments in the story, Campbell's voice sounds exposed and intimately close to the listener's ear, as the narrative brings us inside Skloot's own struggle to understand and cope with the uncomfortable truths and thorny issues Henrietta's story raises.
Bahni Turpin, who performs the dialogue for all the members of the Lacks family, supplies those voices with more than the appropriate dialect. Though she speaks for several different characters some of them appear only briefly or infrequently in the story Turpin manages to give unique weight and depth to each. Her portrayal of Zacharia Lacks, Henrietta's youngest son, is perhaps most exceptional in its taciturn conveyance of anger, love, and pain. Emily Elert
Her name was Henrietta Lacks, but scientists know her as HeLa. She was a poor Southern tobacco farmer who worked the same land as her slave ancestors, yet her cells, taken without her knowledge, became one of the most important tools in medicine. The first immortal human cells grown in culture, they are still alive today, though she has been dead for more than 60 years.
If you could pile all HeLa cells ever grown onto a scale, they'd weigh more than 50 million metric tons - as much as a hundred Empire State Buildings.
HeLa cells were vital for developing the polio vaccine; uncovered secrets of cancer, viruses, and the atom bombs effects; helped lead to important advances like in vitro fertilization, cloning, and gene mapping; and have been bought and sold by the billions. Yet Henrietta Lacks remains virtually unknown, buried in an unmarked grave.
Now, Rebecca Skloot takes us on an extraordinary journey, from the colored ward of Johns Hopkins Hospital in the 1950s to stark white laboratories with freezers full of HeLa cells; from Henriettas small, dying hometown of Clover, Virginia, a land of wooden slave quarters, faith healings, and voodoo, to East Baltimore today, where her children and grandchildren live and struggle with the legacy of her cells.
Henrietta's family did not learn of her immortality until more than 20 years after her death, when scientists investigating HeLa began using her husband and children in research without informed consent. And though the cells had launched a multimillion-dollar industry that sells human biological materials, her family never saw any of the profits. As Rebecca Skloot so brilliantly shows, the story of the Lacks family, past and present, is inextricably connected to the dark history of experimentation on African Americans, the birth of bioethics, and the legal battles over whether we control the stuff we are made of.
©2010 Rebecca Skloot; (P)2010 Random House
"One of the most graceful and moving nonfiction books I've read in a very long time…The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks…floods over you like a narrative dam break, as if someone had managed to distill and purify the more addictive qualities of Erin Brockovich, Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil and The Andromeda Strain.…it feels like the book Ms. Skloot was born to write. It signals the arrival of a raw but quite real talent." (Dwight Garner, The New York Times)
"Writing with a novelist's artistry, a biologist's expertise, and the zeal of an investigative reporter, Skloot tells a truly astonishing story of racism and poverty, science and conscience, spirituality and family driven by a galvanizing inquiry into the sanctity of the body and the very nature of the life force." (Booklist)
"Science journalist Skloot makes a remarkable debut with this multilayered story about 'faith, science, journalism, and grace.'...A rich, resonant tale of modern science, the wonders it can perform and how easily it can exploit society's most vulnerable people." (Publishers Weekly)
"Amazing Story"
It's hard to imagine that so much scientific research and advancement in medicine could come from the cells of one person. Skoolt exposes this story with loving detail, and helps us understand where the personal history of one family and science meet. All I can say is thank you, and bravo for a book so well written. And thank you to Lacks family for having the courage to trust and share their story after being taken advantage of by so many others.
"Thank HeLa!"
The audio book was narrated by Cassandra Campbell and Bahni Turpin, both of which I first experienced in the phenomenal book, The Help by Kathryn Stockett. I remain impressed with their skills of narration, and will start perusing their lists of audio books more frequently.
This book was absolutely fascinating. Miss Skloot was able to re-humanize an important aspect of science who had been objectified and exploited from the start, but to the overall benefit and evolution of medical science, its ethics and practice. The Immortal cells of Henrietta Lacks (HeLa) as the medium, has had a profound impact on biological studies, the likes for which the entire world could and should be grateful.
This is not just a recollection of scientific and biological history, but a biography of Henrietta's legacy. The book also offers a valuable snapshot of the dismissive and often cruel nature of race relations and segregation that took place as little as 60 years ago. Though she and her family suffered greatly, I am glad to know of Mrs. Lacks. I'm also thankful for what she and the scientific community has done for me, my friends, family, and the world.
This book was easy to listen to, understand, and follow. I highly recommend this audio book!
"Rebecca Skloots dedication prevails"
Incredibly engaging and given that this history has so much to do with all humans alive today; also for anyone we know who has not died from a curable infection or certain cancers and that fewer and fewer people die from diseases that are now almost eradicated in many parts of the world, suffering and death are at an all time low due to this amazing woman's cells.
I want to thank Rebecca Skloot for her tenacity and without her willingness to give so much of HER life to telling the truth on this story; we would be forever ignorant to such an important and integral part of all our lives.
The story is one of innocence, intrigue and all out war; a fight that the Lacks family may never win, but with public outcry, and this book; I believe that this part of her story may very well change.
I think that there will always be pushback from the medical and scientific community, when it comes to our rights about our bodies and as human beings. Also, some of the issues raised in this book will be ones we will be addressing for the next few hundred years! I believe that these and others we can not even comprehend; will be issues that societies as a whole will hotly debate and those societies woes in this area will carry on debates of one kind or other for all time.
I highly recommend this book it is truly one that will be cited in history books and should be used (and most likely will be) in all medical and school curriculums.
Short, Simple, No Spoilers
"All Roads Lead to Hela"
Never heard of Henrietta Lacks and her eternal (hela) cells? Me either, and the story is fascinating. The book has several story lines: Henrietta's life; her cells and medical advances; Henrietta's family present day; Daughter, Deborah's struggle to find the truth; and the author, Rebecca Skloot's precarious journey to write the book. All roads run simultaneously and fluidly exploring each facet and staying the course to tell this amazing story.
Cells taken without Henrietta's knowledge, have been used for over 50 years to find cures for cancer, create drugs to combat AIDS, grow corneas, and too many positives to list. She was misdiagnosed on numerous occasions as a cancer patient; never gave consent for experimentation; and her family never received any royalties from the millions of dollars made from the creation, sale, and advancement achieved by testing her cells. The scientific explanation is interesting and easy to understand. The author does a good job of stating the facts mixed with the appropriate amount of emotion, but does not swing too far one way and isn't preachy or judgmental. The education in this book reaches beyond science and sheds light on how African Americans around Johns Hopkins may have been mistreated and/or used for experimental procedures and the evolving friendship between daughter, Deborah and Rebecca was tender, a little nutty, funny, and life-changing for the both of them. Narrator does a fantastic job.
"Get This Book!!!"
I cannot say enough good things about this book. Yes, it is a book about science; and you will understand it. It is a book about a family; and you will love them. It is a book that honestly explores racism;and you will cringe. It is a book about a tenacious reporter; and you will know this was her book to write....The narration is exceptional. This book will inspire you, break your heart, and teach you. Buy the book , use your credit, you will not regret getting this great read.
"Non-fiction at its best"
This was an outstanding listen, with superb narration. I was impressed with Rebecca Skloot's remarkable powers of observation and objectivity, and found it refreshing not to be walloped by a writer's agenda.
I was expecting the science story to be intriguing, and it is, but the interweaving of the Lacks family members into the fabric of the narrative is masterful. The real-life events of Henrietta's children held me in a grip, and often kept me listening long past the points I planned to pause.
"loved it!"
One of those "truth is stranger than fiction" stories that really lives up to the hype.
Hey Audible, don't raise prices and I promise to buy lots more books.
"This year's best"
Voted the Best of 2010 in Science and Technology, I am so glad this book got the recognition it so richly deserved. The author is a science/medical writer. But, I think, a mistake was made in the category in which it was placed. Were it in the category of nonfiction, I think more folks would think about reading it. The science part of the book is wonderful and approachable by anyone. But this is not a science or technology book per se nor, do I think, is science the best part of the book. It is a book more about ethics and the law. It is a book, I believe, mostly about our humanity and in that regard, I cannot find a better book in this year or in many others before it. The book is a superbly written and exquisitely narrated.
"Can you sell your cells?"
This is a necessary book - aside from informing us about what seems today like the the dark ages of cancer research and the reported unfair treatment of minorities by the medical community in the era of Henrietta Lacks, it's time we all became more enlightened as to the fate of our body products once we part with them in a doctor's office, lab or hospital. This book raises important issues as to the space required for storage of all discarded tissue, which is unlike printed material that can be converted to digital format.
As an historical novel there are bound to be characters that are not "likable" nor relatable in the usual fictional sense. This family was troubled in many ways, in addition to the implied racial implications, the possible malpractice issues regarding the HeLa cells, and losing any financial stake in the success of the HeLa cell line. The family came to Baltimore to be part of the then growing steel industry. They were originally from a bare bones town in Virginia, having farmed their own tobacco crops after indirectly inheriting the property after being emancipated from slave status. There were some hard workers amongst the marginal characters, but basically this was a hard-strapping family who had to make do in order to survive. And several of them fell by the wayside to crime and mental dysfunction.
The book is well-written, even with the frequent disjunctions in time periods. It can be difficult to follow the genealogy and plethora of major and minor characters, and the myriad mentions of various studies. But all that is mere technicality.
The book accomplishes its goal of promoting proper documentation of, and credit for - financial or otherwise - biological tissues that are saved and used for research. It raise the question of ownership of our own tissues, and whether or not we have proprietary rights to our own bodies, in situ or in vitro.
"Great Listen"
I thought the weaving of the different characters was expertly done, loved the audible interview with the author at the end. great read - couldn't stop listening!

Israelis and Iranians Feel the Love
"For there to be a war between us, first we must be afraid of each other, we must hate."
—Ronny Edry, creator of "We Love You Iranians" graphic
Amid growing tensions between Israel and Iran, the leaders of both countries are amping up the talk of the need for violence in order to defend their people.
But the people have a different message.
When an Israeli graphic artist posted an image on Facebook with the message, "We Love You Iranians" it spread quickly through social media platforms; within a few hours, messages from Iranians, reading "We Love You Israelis," appeared in reply.
Their message is clear: Those who would be most affected by a war—and in whose name violence is being threatened—want nothing to do with it.

Last serious question, five things that are a must before you die?
Last serious question, five things that are a must before you die?
1. Eat a meal prepared by Ferran Adria. He closed El Bulli though so I don't know how to make this happen.
2. Go to the North Pole.
3. Learn to play guitar. I have a guitar, I tried to learn once, but I don't have the patience or something. I wish I could just download it into my brain.
4. Watch the Cardinals win the Super Bowl
5. Punch Morrissey in the nose.
Wow, 12 step meetings at Coachella, who knew? SOBERCHELLA.COM
I'm a reasonable man, get off my case....
1. Name the literary character you share the most in common with.
2. You have a free pass to murder anyone in the world. Do you do it? Whom would you choose and how would you carry it out?
3. You have the power to stop one band from ever playing another note. Who's it gonna be?

what's something your family, or close friends don't even know about you?
words of wisdom that you've been told, or read that continues to make an impact on your life?
if Morrissey saved your life would you still punch him in the nose after?

2. 'free pass' is a nebulous term. does it mean I won't be persecuted for a crime by the government? will the act be publicized? will I have to face other consequences of my actions? The gut reaction is to commit a political assassination, but, I can't think of anyone to kill that I wouldn't just make a martyr. Do I have to actually do the deed with my own hands, or can I just wish it so? I don't like blood.
I would say Kobe Bryant, cuz he sort of deserves it, but I think he's on the downside of his career and it would be a waste.
Yeah I dunno if I could even do it.

- My dislike of Elbow. I can't get into their stuff, and I've tried. it reminds me of so much crap. and yet many people whose taste I respect love them. So I suspect I'm wrong, and yet, I can't get past it. Yeah I know that's not a belief.
If anybody asks me about regrets, this is it. I never got to see either band live. I saw Joe Strummer, I saw Mick Jones, I even saw Paul Simonon solo -- but never the Clash. It just never worked out. They weren't where I was. in retrospect I should have done something about that. I've also seen Westerberg but never the Mats, and that was more because of .. well I don't know what. They were where I was but I guess it never worked out for some reason.
Hey Great One. First, please tell the story of the worst physical pain you have ever experienced. And were you raised with religion? If so, give us your take on that from being a young un' to your current state, please.
Elvis Costello & the Attractions, 1978-79-80. I've been a little obsessed with pretty much exactly this time period in recent months. Elvis was at the peak of his creative arc (which actually lasted 76-82, really) and the Attractions were just killing it. Listen to "Live at Hollywood High" and you'll get a flavor for what I mean.
Honorable mentions: so many. Beatles in Hamburg, 62-63. The Who in the early 70s. Springsteen mid 70s, the Clash & Talking Heads late 70s/early 80s. REM early/mid 80s, Sonic Youth mid/late 80s, etc etc etc.

I was raised with religion until I was about 13 then my parents lost interest. I think they got pissed off at something, certainly not theological. never quite got that story. I am currently active in a progressive church where I take nothing literally but believe it is all true in some abstract sense that I can't begin to understand let alone explain. The mere fact of existence rather than nothingness is sort of befuddling to me.
i saw the Stranglers in like 1981 and they played two songs, got spat on, got pissed off, Jet Black knocked over his drum kit and they stormed off the stage. after about 20 minutes they came back and the same thing repeated itself (they were also having sound problems). 2nd time they stormed off, house lights came up, show over.
I accidentally overheard the opening notes to Hotel California when i was leaving ACL a few years ago when the Eagles were headlining.
This isn't quite the same and I've told this story before but here it is: I saw Heart in a big sports arena in like 1981, which was fine, meaning it was about what you'd expect. But, earlier in the day I was offered a $5 ticket to see U2 in a little tiny club and I turned it down because I had these Heart tickets. U2 was on their 1st US tour, supporting Boy.
Cardinals: do what it takes to retain Fitz, which means sign Kolb. Keep Whisenhunt and rely on his judgment as to how long to keep Dockett, AW, etc.
Dbacks: I'd give Gibson an extension today.

Aylesbury, Unite...
Inspired by Burda's sculpture dress signed by Dice Kayek, I made my first dress for the festive season. Each party requires a new outfit!
I chose the couture Bellville Sassoon pattern for Vogue, which is a lined, straight, fitted dress, below mid-knee. The dress also features short sleeves with slit, princess seamed bodice, darts in skirt, back vent and invisible zipper.
Yes, it sounds like I am describing the technical features of a Ferrari.
The fabric is quite special I believe, because I acquired it from a shop that boasts clients such as Madonna. Or so they say!
With 28 pattern pieces, some of them doubled in lining, interfacing and interlinings, it is not a projects for those who lack the patience.
Otherwise, it is not the most difficult that one could make, The bow at the back is particularly tricky, especially when you try to sew the zipper through folds and folds and bends. Ahhh, it is ready and I am very proud of it!

Definately a copy of the Vogue 1231 Bellville Sassoon pattern down to the very colour. A nice pattern but I am going to make mine in another colour
Dec 2, 2012, 10.22 PMby Irina Schwab
Good, luck, yes, it is V1231 itself. I had the pattern for a while, and funny enough, I bought the fabric just because it was from that famous shop. I only realised afterwards it is THE colour on the Bellville Sassoon pattern envelope!!! I hope you have better luck with that bow at the back and the way it is sewn under the zip! I left it out in the end, and sewed it by hand along the zip. Ahhh!

On Tuesday, the 1½-year-old female pitbull was found by the train tracks at the intersection of Silver and Madison streets. She was malnourished, covered in blood and left for dead. The dog is being cared for at Lollypop Farm while the Humane Soceity investigates if this was a case of dog fighting.
The clinic staff who have been caring for this pooch have come up with a few names; some call her Train, others Minnie.
"Because she has this nice Minnie Mouse sleeping bag."
Train was abandoned Tuesday near train tracks in the city. When investigators arrived on scene, the dog was locked inside a bloodied crate. They believe her owners may have thrown the crate out of a moving car.
"She's suffering and she is now," said lead investigator Reno DiDomenico.
DiDomenico says while they can't confirm how the dog was injured, it appears she was involved in a dog fight.
"At this point, the wounds are consistent with some sort of animal fight. We just don't know what type of animal yet."
Train has puncture wounds all over her body and a torn ear. DiDomenico says she may have been used as what dog fighters call a "bait dog."
"It could be the main dog was used to practice on this dog and that's why she was discarded," he said.
Dogfighting continues to be on the police department's radar.
"It is something that periodically is brought to our attention. We know it's a macho thing, it's also something used to gamble, and we know when it's brought to our attention we need to address it," said Chief Jim Sheppard of the Rochester Police Department.
Abandoning a pet is punishable by up to a year in jail.
"These individuals who fight dogs go by reputation. If they have a good fighting dog they make money on the breeding of that dog. If the dog loses, they discard the dog."
Clinic staff say they expect Train to make a full recovery.
Investigators say fingerprints were found on the dog's crate. As they continue with their investigation, they ask if you have any information on this dog or her owners to contact the Humane Soceity's hotline at 223-6500. All calls will be kept confidential.

Product Description
AGV Skyline Solid Helmet
Inspired by the lines that have characterized the innovations by AGV for several years now, the Skyline features a narrow, streamlined chin guard, the channels in the shell (derived from the IVS used in the RACE helmets), evident lines and edges on the sides. The end result is an extremely dynamic helmet with an innovative and immediately recognisable design. The removal of the holes and lateral grids not only gives the helmet a more compact look, but has made it possible to reduce turbulence and improve the aerodynamics.

Outer Shell sizes: 2
Ventilation system: IVS (Integrated Ventilation System) with numerous channels formed directly in the outer shell and dynamic system with air vents and rear extractors
Fabric: Dri-Lex® with sanitizing treatment

SPECIAL REPORT: HOTELS: "The hotel completed a $25 million renovation in April and now strikes a note of cozy modernism." FORBES LIFE
Whoa. Did the stylists at Saks Fifth Avenue, across the street at the Pru, sneak in and give the Colonnade an extreme make-over? The hotel has gone from so-over 80's brass-and-mahogany to a clean, modern look with tones of espresso, khaki, chocolate, and chrome. All this would be mere window dressing if it weren't for new, guest friendly touches like flat-panel TVs, DVD players, and alarm clock/MP3 players, plus extendable reading lights and fab high-tech coffee makers..." FODORS BOSTON
"Out went fuddy-duddy floral decor and in came sleek, modern elegance; the genteel Colonnade Hotel's renovations are boutique hip, but with a smart, individual edge to the design. Rooms are a blend of geometric patterns, blonde woods, chrome and soothing chocolate browns with purple accents. A shimmering rooftop pool, 11 stories above the city streets, is another enticement to check in. The art deco-inspired bar offers great cocktails and happy hour deals, and the excellent ground floor restaurant, Brasserie Jo..., was well ahead of Boston's current taste for authentic French brasseries. If its coq au vin and steak frites don't appeal, the South End's myriad eateries and bars are close at hand." TIME OUT Guide Boston

An Overview of Silicosis
Silica or silicon oxide is perhaps one of the most common compound minerals found in nature, existing in various forms in soil, rock and sand. Its variety and abundance has made it an important component in many industries including construction, electronics, and food. As a consequence, it is estimated that more than 2 million workers in the US may be at risk for a medical condition called silicosis.
Silica can be present in the air as dust when working with materials that contain them such as concrete as extremely tiny particles that can be inhaled by anyone who is in the immediate area such as Nashville residents around a road being built. This is called respirable silica dust. Because it is so small, even a relatively small amount of silica can create a heavy concentration of silica dust. Somewhat similar to asbestos, when the silica particles are inhaled, they get into the lungs. This builds up over time and develops into a condition called silicosis, a type of pneumoconiosis, which is considered an occupational disease for workers who are repeatedly exposed to the dust. On average, 250 workers in the US die from silicosis every year.
The main problem with silicosis is that it makes it difficult for the patient to breathe, causing a perennial shortness of breath, and weakens the immune system so that the risks of developing respiratory, autoimmune and infectious diseases are much greater than a person without silicosis. And because there is no cure for silicosis, the only way to manage it is to do preventive measures. As any Nashville personal injury lawyer may point out, it is the responsibility of employers and contractors to ensure the safety of their workers and other people from silica exposure to prevent silicosis.
There are three types of silicosis: acute (heavy exposure over a short time); chronic (regular exposure over an extended period ~10 years); and accelerated (regular exposure over a longer time ~20). It is difficult for the sufferer to detect the early symptoms of the disease because they can appear to be symptoms of a cold or flu (dry coughing, wheezing, shortness of breath, feelings of tiredness). Some remain asymptomatic for years after exposure. If a person begins developing silicosis, the disorder will progress even when there is no further exposure to the mineral.
If you have contracted silicosis or other injury due to silica exposure, you may be able to get compensation from the responsible party. Consult with a toxic exposure in your area to discuss your legal options.
Staying Green in Infancy
Being a baby is not exactly the best thing for the environment. Babies, like all humans, can contribute to pollution. While this is kind of inevitable in our consumption-driven capitalist society, there are ways parents can reduce baby's carbon footprint.
One of the easiest ways to help curb baby-related pollution is to simply recycle your baby products. All those glass jars baby food comes in can be either repurposed in some cute DIY project, or simply sent to the recycling plant.
Another huge baby contribution to pollution is one-use diapers. Aside from being filled with baby waste, disposable diapers take up a great deal of space in landfills and smell bad. While it is definitely more work, having reusable cloth diapers can drastically cut back on baby-related pollution. Think about it: A baby can go through several disposable diapers a day. Over the course of a few years (until baby can go potty by herself), this will add up to hundreds of diapers being disposed of. Additionally, you'll save a lot of money not buying a new package of diapers every few weeks.
Radiology Errors as Medical Practice
Attending physicians are often targeted for medical malpractice lawsuits for delayed or wrong diagnosis, but they are not always the only parties concerned. In most cases, a physician will make a diagnosis based on results from blood work and radiology.
Radiology is a specialty field of medicine dealing with the use and interpretation of the products of various imaging technologies. Film X-ray radiology are the most commonly recognized technique, but there are also other techniques such as ultrasound, computed tomography (CT) scan, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and positron emission tomography (PET). Each of these techniques has a specific use, but they are all primarily diagnostic tools. A radiologist is a doctor who is qualified not only to perform the test but to interpret the raw data. A radiology technician, on the other hand, is only trained to take the images but is not qualified to "read" them.
The interpretation of the radiologist of what is in an image is what reaches the attending physician, which will use it together with other data to make a diagnosis. According to the website of law firm Crowe & Mulvey, LLP in New Hampshire, errors in reading the image are more common than people know. If the interpretation is wrong, or there was a perceptual error (missed something), the attending physician is likely to make a misdiagnosis or delayed diagnosis, which can both have serious consequences for a patient who needs to be treated correctly in a timely manner.
Yet this is an aspect of medical malpractice that is often overlooked because of a multiplicity of errors. While fault may not lie entirely with the radiologist, it is important that they are also held accountable to minimize the occurrence of preventable errors in interpretation and perception of diagnostic images.
If you have suffered harm because of a delayed or wrong diagnosis, there may be others responsible aside from or instead of the attending physician. Bring your medical records to a Massachusetts personal injury attorney experienced in handling diagnostic error cases to get an accurate assessment of who should be held liable and sued for in your potential medical malpractice case. An experienced attorney will be able to determine the most likely defendant for your case to succeed against.
'Ware Elevator and Escalators!
It may seem like a pretty bad premise for a movie, like sharks attacking from the air, but elevators and escalators can be more dangerous than you think. If you are like millions of people who use these contraptions several times every day and never had an accident, it may be difficult to believe that anything bad can happen. But just like walking along the sidewalk leading to your house and having a piano fall on you, anything is possible.
In general, most elevator accidents happen in construction work sites, but they can also occur in passenger elevators. There are several ways that elevators and escalators can seriously ruin your day. These include but not limited to:
- Sudden starts and stops
- Floor shifting or lurching
- Uneven floor or steps
- Missing steps
- Failure to open (elevators)
- Comb plate or side entrapments
- Falls
Elevators, especially, have had its share of accidents over the years since the modern elevator was first invented in 1823. But because it is so convenient, especially if you live on the 98th floor with bags of grocery to carry, the government imposed a whole lot of laws and regulations to make it safer rather than scrap the whole thing. The same is true of escalators, although to a lesser degree. Today, riding an elevator or escalator should be completely safe.
Like with any mechanical contraption, regular maintenance and inspection are crucial in keeping them working properly. When an elevator or escalator malfunctions and causes an injury, it is most likely that some regulation had been broken. According to the website of the Law Offices of Vic Feazell, P.C. in Austin, the failure to maintain property (and its components) properly to prevent injury constitutes negligence, and may be actionable. You will need a competent lawyer experienced in premises liability cases to help you get compensation for your injuries.
But before that happens, remember that an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. The next time you step inside an elevator, you may want to first check out the inspection sticker.
Bankruptcy: Cutting your Losses
Stick-to-itiveness is something that is considered a virtue. It is that characteristic that is often associated with someone who refuses to be defeated by the odds. That is true in most cases, but it is also a virtue to know when to throw in the towel.
Circumstances sometimes create a situation where you just can't win no matter what you do, and while going down with a sinking ship may be noble, there are more important things. IN cases where financial troubles threaten to overwhelm you, you have to cut your losses and save what you can from the wreckage. This is where bankruptcy is the ideal option.
Bankruptcy can get you out of debt, stop foreclosure, and help you make a fresh start. You will not have to contend with debt collectors, and you can start concentrating on changing your lifestyle to foster better financial management and avoid getting into such a situation again. There was a time when filing for bankruptcy was considered an admission of failure, but that is no longer the case. With proper management, filing for bankruptcy could be the smartest thing you will ever do.
Of course, bankruptcy is not the answer to everything, and it is not all roses. There are consequences to filing for bankruptcy depending on the type you file for, and bankruptcy laws have safeguards to prevent true slackers from taking advantage of its protections. This can make it difficult for those truly deserving a break to file, which is where the bankruptcy lawyer can be very important.
A lawyer that specializes in bankruptcy law will know how you can derive the maximum benefit for your filing. The lawyer will also take care of the documentation, minimizing delays due to technical errors. Considering that a successful filing could mean saving your home from foreclosure and retaining what you need to make a new life for yourself and your family, it is something that you want to invest in.
Recent Developments in Depakote, DePuy and Risperdal Litigation
Civil lawsuits typically take a long time to come to trial, and for drug companies, the costs can be prohibitive, especially if the verdict goes against them. In most cases, a settlement is preferred, but it really depends on the terms of the settlement.
Abbott Laboratories chose to settle the civil suits filed against them by the state and federal governments for the marketing of Depakote, an anti-seizuredrug, to nursing homes for health conditions the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) did not approve it for. The settlement reached $1.6 Billion after four years of investigations. The settlement was to reimburse public healthcare systems that paid for the medication, and did not include lawsuits filed by individuals for adverse side effects of Depakote which included congenital malformations and other birth defects. The civil lawsuits allege a failure to warn, and are currently ongoing.
DePuy, on the other hand, continues to battle it out before a judicial panel in multidistrict litigation which alleges that a defective hip implant of either the DePuy ASR or Pinnacle Hip Implant type caused serious health problems in patients. It had earlier offered a multi-state settlement of $4 billion to cover more than 8,000 claims on the condition that at least 94% of those claimants would opt in. In the meantime, more cases are being filed and there are now in excess of 14,000 cases pending.
Janssen Pharmaceuticals successfully appealed a multibillion verdict in a state case brought before the Arkansas Supreme Court on a technicality. However, it agreed to settle with civil litigants for the off-label marketing of their product Risperdal for a $1.25 billion pot. It is an anti-psychotic drug that was approved for short-term treatment of bipolar disorder and schizophrenia, but not for dementia. As mentioned in an article on the website of law firm Williams Kherkher, the company also made no mention of the risk of gynecomastia (breast enlargement in males) with the use of the product in the warning label.
These are just three of the dangerous medical products that have come to the public's attention in recent history, but there are more out there. If you suffered serious side effects from a drug or medical device which you were not warned about, it could be an actionable case. Consult with a personal injury lawyer experienced in handling cases against drug companies to find out more.
Claiming for Workers' Comp and SSD Disability Benefits
The Social Security Administration (SSA) processes claims for individuals with enough work credits to qualify for Social Security Disability (SSD). However, the SSD is limited in its scope; it will only process claims for conditions that is like to last for at least 12 months. You are generally disqualified if you are earning more than $1,070 a month on average, even if you used to make much more in the job you held when your became disabled. It should also be included in the list of accepted medical conditions and severe enough to preclude you from doing the work you used to do.
An alternative to SSD would be workers' compensation insurance, which covers all types of disabilities. However, the disability benefits under workers' comp are finite, and the amount for partial disability depends on the affected body part and the impairment rating of the physician. For example, loss of a third finger will be covered for 25 weeks while loss of a thumb will be covered for 60 weeks.
It is possible to claim disability benefit from both workers' comp and SSD insurance. These are not mutually exclusive programs, and benefits received from one will not affect the other. However, it is not easy to make a claim for either. Workers' comp is a no-fault insurance, so processing should not take too long unless the employer or insurance company disputes the claim. On the other hand, nearly two-thirds of all SSD claims are initially denied, and the appeal process can take months.
It may facilitate making a claim for disability benefits if an experienced workers' comp or SSD lawyer is on board from the start. Both programs are often confusing to the layperson and it is fatally easy to make mistakes that can cause a claim to be delayed or denied. A competent lawyer will know how to work the system to get the maximum benefit for the client.

Demi Dishes On New Music And The X-Factor
Even a broken leg can't slow Demi Lovato down! She talks exclusively to Seventeen about music she loves, what's going through her mind during X-Factor auditions, and why she loves being an Acuvue mentor.
By Emily Laurence
On Finding The Next One Direction
"As a judge on The X-Factor, forming groups as well as finding individual talent is definitely on my mind. It's not something I think about during the initial audition process, but later if we don't have enough groups, we'll make one. I try and think about which people would sing well together."
"If PSY had auditioned on The X-Factor I would have thought he was funny, but I need someone who can sing. I don't get the whole 'Gangham Style' crazy—sorry!"

Despite recent criticism that F1 is no longer a drivers' race, Nico Hulkenberg insists it is the man in the cockpit that makes the difference.
The sport switching to 1.6-litre turbocharged engines and limiting the amount of fuel drivers can use per grand prix, there are some who believe the pit wall now holds all the power.
Recently former Champion Jacques Villeneuve had a go at F1 saying it is "not epic anymore, the drivers are not heroes."
However, Hulkenberg believes it is still up to the driver to make a difference.
"As a driver there is more to learn and a lot of stuff to do," he told Autosport. "The workload on the steering wheel will be more.
"There are also a few more tools with the ERS in terms of what you can play with, and a good flow of information is important.
"Then you need to process the information and what you learned right away.
"You have to have good communications with your engineers and your team in order to progress as fast as you can."
Meanwhile, Sebastian Vettel believes it those who are more adaptable that will rise to the top this season.
"For sure there will be new elements of driving skills, and different skills generally, that you'll have to get on top of and you'll have to adapt.
"It's a new car, and it will feel different. Of course, if you drive it the way you drove it last year, in the race for example, you won't see the chequered flag.
"That's a very simple one to understand, but which way is the best? Every driver needs to find his own way."

" Imagine the GR07 with a better refined and slightly more prominent treble, with the bass quantity, weight, and rumble toned down slightly. With that said, I suggest bassheads to look away (why would you be looking at a TWFK in the first place?). The bass is well controlled and will show up when called for, though obviously not enough to satisfy a basshead, but is adequate for me..." --Reomero
VSONIC GR02 Bass Edition
"coming from vsd3/s, i felt the same vsonic signature, not too far. it's soundstage offered slightly more depth to me somehow. vsd3/s are have big sounding mids which makes the soundstage more vertical, they certainly do not totally lack depth like the ostry kc06a but "feel" slightly more vertical. it's just a feel, not a day/night difference and nothing that will affect to a buying choice. i..." --vaziyetu
"I prefer the GR04 to my Visang GR02 and greatly prefer them to my Soundmagic PL50 (I don't like the PL50). This review is not going to get technical. The main purpose is to share my EQ settings which makes them sound more like my HD600 which is my reference headphone. In short: Great SQ for the money if you take 30minutes to EQ them.

VSONIC GR04 Flagship Pro Audiophile Earphones
" Hidden amidst an array of confusing sister models, the Vsonic GR04 Pro Flagship Edition is one of the best values in IEM's. The Pro Flagship is second only to the much acclaimed GR07 in the Vsonic lineup; however at about half the price proves a far better value. Coupling intuitive pivoting tips with a reasonable balanced sound signature, the Pro Flagship deserves far..." --thecansmancan

" This is my first ever review so bare with me. My background in iem and headphones in general is limited. Reference iem that I own and judged against the gr06 were jvc air cushion, klipsch image s2, meelec m16 and entry level sennheisers. Soundwise they just blew away every iem I had heard until now, everything sounds better got great bass, mids and highs. ..." --executioner
"Not An Introduction This in-ear monitor does not need to be introduced, yet again, to headphone audio enthusiasts. The GR07 is one of the most popular high-performance IEMs on the market; at its original MSRP of about $180, it represented one of the best deals in headphone audio. It competed evenly with many IEMs that sold for much more money and suffered few compromises in order to..." --C.C.S.
VSONIC GR07 Bass Editon

" I received my GR07 MK2 a few weeks back, and they have gone through the hundreds of hours supposedly required for burning in their bio-cellulase drivers.

" Really enjoyed these right out of the box. Sound does not change much through burn in period (fortunately). Wide soundstage. Not too bassy, just perfect.Good build quality. Appears to be a league above Meelec M9 when it comes to sound quality. If you are able to get these for 40 dollars or less they're a best buy you should not let pass. " --MrProggie

When the administration of the Western College for Women – now a part of Miami University – opened its campus to civil rights activists in 1964, the institution followed its long tradition of independence and innovation. An estimated 700 young, idealistic college students from across the north arrived in Oxford, Ohio for voter registration training before leaving to serve in Mississippi to register African-Americans to vote and assist with local community projects, like Freedom schools and the building of community centers.
Today, the story of Freedom Summer has the power to evoke important questions about American identity, public life, engagement, and commitment. This exhibit will focus on local resident Roland Duerksen and former student volunteers Carole Colca and Mark Levy. They have left the legacy of their work in the Western College Memorial Archives. This exhibit, which includes photographs, letters, audio recordings, and an interactive map of Mississippi, will serve as a narrative of their dedication to civil rights and social justice.

No criminal group in the world is more closely identified with tattoos than the largest: Japan's Yakuza, 80,000 strong. In this episode of MARKED, we go deep into Japan's underground for an exclusive look at the stunning full body-suits of ink thatmark the skin of today's yakuza. Hidden within the layers of spectacular imagery are secret codes that reach back far into Japan's bloody samurai history: violent warriors, images of hell, prostitutes, and a range of predators from tigers to dragons. Wehear from yakuza as they share stories of their criminal pasts, the significance of their tattoos, and the pain they experienced in getting most of their bodies tattooed the old fashioned way: by getting poked over and over again with needles fastened tothe ends of sticks. Master tattoo artist and former yakuza boss Horizen guides us through the intricate process of creating a traditional Japanese tattoo, or tebori, from scratch, demystifying this ancient craft in which everything, from making the inkto sharpening the needles, is done by hand.

Lunch: Why So Glum, Anna Wintour & Ralph Lauren?
It was standing room only at Michael's today with a head-spinning assortment of movers and mavens doing some serious table-hopping between bites. We were brightened to see there was a dash of celebrating between all the intense conversations that were going on all around. It's the holidays, remember?
I was lunching today with Gerry Byrne, senior vice president of The Entertainment Group at Nielsen Business Media. One of the truly good guys in the industry, Gerry has had an amazing career in media that started after he served as a United States Marine Corps Officer in Vietnam, when he took a job at The New York Daily News working in business development. You name an important showbiz publication, and chances are Gerry has been at the helm. He was president and CEO of Stagebill, served as group publisher and president of Variety and Daily Variety (and launched the Gotham edition), started Electronic Media (now Television Week) and Crain's New York Business. He was consulting for Nielsen when they lured him back into corporate life earlier this year with his current gig. "I never expected to be back doing this, but I'm having a great time," says Gerry. He's keeping busy overseeing the company's entertainment properties and exhibitions including The Hollywood Reporter, Billboard, Backstage, Kirkus Reviews, The Bookseller and expos like ShoWest. Whew!
We had a fascinating conversation about the state of the entertainment and media industry, with Gerry offering some valuable insights. "It's all about brand management and creating new partnerships," he told me. "More people than ever are willing to listen to new ideas about partnerships." That, says Gerry, is good news for everyone willing to acknowledge what's in the past is gone and it's a brave new world. So buck up, all you naysayers, put your thinking caps on and get out there and reinvent yourself. Speaking of reinvention, I asked him to weigh in on NBC's decision to offer Jay Leno a nightly show on their prime time schedule. "They're protecting their franchise. Jeff Zucker made a dramatic statement." The "game-changing" move is sure to change the face of television, says Gerry, who noted, "It couldn't have been done 10 years ago." Timing is everything, isn't it?
The scene spilled over into the Garden Room where Today's executive producer Jim Bell and David Gregory were seated. The newly-minted host of Meet The Press gave us a big hello and a smile as he made his way to the back, but slipped out early before we could ask him about his new gig. mediabistro.com's founder Laurel Touby was a few tables away with metacafe's CEO Erick Hachenburg and SVP Jack Rotherham and Michael A. Vorhaus of Frank N. Magid Associates. So take that, all you strivers — power is where you find it!
Here's the rundown on today's crowd:
1. There were plenty of fireworks: Jerry Inzerillo, Paul Grucci and some lively fellows who were celebrating some big news with champagne
2. Judy McGrath and a gent we didn't recognize…
3. 'Mayor' Joe Armstrong with a trio of interesting — and enterprising — women: Democratic booster Maureen White, Sarah Rosenthal and Cynthia Brill, who told me the Clear Card biz we chatted about some months ago for this very column is going great guns. The brainchild of Cynthia and her husband Steve, 'The Easy Pass of airports' designed to help users 'fly through airport security,' is now in 21 airports and coming soon (in '09, she says) to LAX. We're all for anything that will improve the hellish experience of surviving a stay in that confounding maze.
4. Frank Gifford and Ron Kanecke

Sheer Matte Foundation gives the skin that perfect porcelain look. To apply, I usually work two to three pumps in the palms of my hands before using my fingertips to press it into the skin. The warmth of the hands and fingers helps to blend the foundation for the most natural finish.
- This foundation creates a truly flawless finish. The Sheer Matte Foundation looks like velvet on the skin. The formula will build for more coverage, so start with less, layering as you go. The Sheer Matte Foundation is great for covering stubborn spots. Use a concealer brush to dap foundation on areas that need more coverage, blending slightly with the finger. – James Boehmer, Director of Global Artistry
- After applying and blending the foundation with fingers, go back with the Botan Brush and buff out the foundation before applying concealer and powder. This will help to buff off any excess foundation. – Jason Hoffman, Lead Trainer

What About the People's Budget?
With too much fanfare, the contours of a "grand bargain" on the budget may have emerged with a proposal offered by the Senate's Gang of Six. It's a deal that looks a helluva lot more like a Raw Deal than a New Deal or a Fair Deal.
It's good to get a grip and some perspective at times like these. That's why I appreciated Congressman Raúl Grijalva, co-chair of the Congressional Progressive Caucus (CPC), reminding us that a "Gang of 70" Democrats in the House has already vowed to oppose any deal which cuts benefits in Social Security, Medicare or Medicaid.
"Our Gang of 70-plus has the Gang of Six completely outnumbered," says Grijalva. "And with Republicans not voting for any package, period, because of their opposition to a functional economy, House Democrats hold the key to whatever plan can pass Congress."
Grijalva and his allies point to the CPC People's Budget as an alternative more in sync with what people want and the economy needs—a budget that calls for shared sacrifice. For example, 66 percent of Americans favor raising income tax rates on those making more than $250,000 and 67 percent support raising the wage cap for Social Security taxes. Both of these measures are included in the CPC budget. It's a budget that also offers sensible cuts to military spending run amok, new tax brackets for millionaires and billionaires, and an investment of $1.45 trillion in job creation, education, clean energy, broadband infrastructure, housing, and R&D. And it does all of this while achieving a lower debt-to-GDP ratio in 2020 than the widely praised—praised by the elite, that is—budget proposal from Republican Congressman Paul Ryan.
In contrast, the Gang of Six proposal shafts those who have already borne so much of the burden of the financial crisis and its fallout—lost pensions, lost homes, lost wealth—while the very people who brought the economy to its knees through their recklessness make out like banksters and bandits. In fact, at a time of inequality akin to that of the Gilded Age, the top marginal tax rate would be lowered—lowered!—to 23 to 29 percent, while there would be massive cuts in Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid.
Dean Baker, co-director of the Center for Economic and Policy Research (CEPR), notes that JP Morgan CEO Jamie Dimon and Goldman Sachs CEO Lloyd Blankfein would save approximately $2 million to $3 million on their tax bills. But in 20 years, a 90-year-old living on a Social Security income of $15,000 would lose more than $1,200 a year in benefits.
How's that a "bargain" for this nation and who exactly finds it "grand"?
All along, the alternatives that reflect the popular idea of shared sacrifice have been marginalized—by the political establishment (and, tragically, the Democratic leadership) and the corporate media. That's one reason we are where we are in terms of the shape of this budget deal, where a ludicrous moral equivalence is being drawn between an increase in capital gains or carried interest tax and cuts in the very programs that have brought security and dignity to millions of Americans when they need it the most.
This is not about left and right. This is about right and wrong. And that's something the political and media establishment just don't seem to get.

5 Apps That Make It Easy To Be Healthy!
Thanks to your phone, looking and feeling your best has never been easier! Here are five health and fitness apps you need to download right now.
By Macey Hall
Gym Pact
GymPact actually pays you for going to the gym! The only catch? It takes away money if you don't (talk about motivation!). Here's how it works: Each week you commit to how many days you'll go to the gym, and when you check in there (it verifies it using your phone's GPS), you earn a small amount of money. But if you miss a workout, it subtracts money from your "bank account." Every time you reach $10, you can cash out using PayPal. (Gym Pact, free)
