Taste of the Wild dog food is made by Diamond Pet Foods, Inc., owned by Schell and Kampeter, Inc. They are a U.S.-based pet food manufacturer with plants located in Meta, Missouri, Lathrop, California and Gaston, South Carolina. The company is a family-owned, privately-held enterprised, still managed by the Schell and Kampeter family. Taste of the Wild is a relatively new brand of dog food, debuting around 2007 to meet the market demand for premium "natural" dog foods and grain-free foods with better ingredients.
The headquarters for Diamond are in Meta, Missouri and the company was founded in 1970. At that time brothers-in-law Gary Schell and Richard Kampeter bought Milling Meta Co., a producer of livestock feed and dog food. Early distribution was limited to within 100 miles of Meta, Missouri and only about 5 percent of the company's production was dog food. Diamond expanded its manufacturing to include plants in San Joaquin County California in 1999 and Gaston, South Carolina in 2002.
The Taste of the Wild site gives no indication that the food is made by Diamond and many people who feed this food are unaware of the connection. Diamond has had a history of recalls due to aflatoxins, concerns about Salmonella, and production issues at least since around 1999-2000, including a large recall in 2005, and many consumers have lost confidence in the company and the products they produce. Nevertheless, Diamond manufactures or co-packs food for many other brands including Canidae, Solid Gold, Costco's Kirkland, Dick Van Patten's Natural Balance, Tractor Supply's 4Health, and NutraGold.
Since their earlier recalls, Diamond says today they use 151 quality checks to ensure the quality of their products. However, the company issued a recall in May 2012 for many of their products, including Taste of the Wild, after a Salmonella outbreak linked to their South Carolina plant.
Taste of the Wild dog foods feature grain-free formulas that are said to be made based on what dogs would eat in the wild. The foods emphasize better taste, highly digestible energy, and natural antioxidants to support a healthy immune system and overall health. They have four adult formulas available in dry and canned versions and two puppy formulas available in dry versions. The food has been very popular with pet owners seeking a premium grain-free food for their dog at a fairly reasonable price. Taste of the Wild also makes cat foods using the same philosophy.
Bison, lamb meal, chicken meal, egg product, sweet potatoes, peas, potatoes, canola oil, roasted bison, roasted venison, natural flavor, tomato pomace, ocean fish meal, salt, choline chloride, dried chicory root, tomatoes, blueberries, raspberries, yucca schidigera extract, dried Enterococcus faecium fermentation product, dried Lactobacillus acidophilus fermentation product, dried Lactobacillus casei fermentation product, dried Lactobacillus plantarum fermentation product,dried Trichoderma longibrachiatum fermentation extract, vitamin E supplement, iron proteinate, zinc proteinate, copper proteinate, ferrous sulfate, zinc sulfate, copper sulfate, potassium iodide, thiamine mononitrate (vitamin B1), manganese proteinate, manganous oxide, ascorbic acid, vitamin A supplement, biotin, niacin, calcium pantothenate, manganese sulfate, sodium selenite, pyridoxine hydrochloride (vitamin B6), vitamin B12 supplement, riboflavin (vitamin B2), vitamin D supplement, folic acid.
I chose the High Prairie Canine Formula with Roasted Bison & Roasted Venison almost at random from the Taste of the Wild web site. All of the adult formulas seemed to be maintenance formulas with just different sources of protein and carbs/fiber. I have had samples of these foods and let my dogs try them. They loved them. But I haven't fed them long-term or bought them.
You can see from looking at the first five ingredients in this food that the emphasis is on animal sources of protein.
The first ingredient is bison. As I've written elsewhere, bison compares favorably to beef. It's very similar nutritionally, but it has slightly more protein and a little less fat.
Lamb meal is the second ingredient. At one time lamb was often recommended for dogs with allergies because it was a novel protein 25 years ago (I know - I had a dog with allergies at that time and I had to cook lamb for him every night). But lamb is such a common ingredient in dog foods today that its presence is not very remarkable. I'm not put off by the fact that this is lamb meal instead of whole lamb. Lamb meal is a concentrated version of the meat and, if the lamb is of good quality, it shouldn't be a problem. This is another ingredient with lots of protein.
The third ingredient is chicken meal. Again, this is a common ingredient in dog foods so if you have a dog with allergies, this food probably won't solve your problems, but this is a good ingredient. Like the lamb meal, chicken meal is a concentrated version of the whole chicken and high in protein. In these meals the water has already been removed so they are all meat.
The fourth ingredient is "egg product." Eggs are loaded with protein and good for dogs. "Egg product," according to AAFCO, means: "Product obtained from egg graders, egg breakers, and/or hatchery operations that is dehydrated, handled as liquid or frozen. These shall be labeled as per USDA regulations governing eggs and egg products (9CFR, Part 59). This product shall be free of shells or other non-egg materials except in such amounts which might occur unavoidably in good processing practices, and contain a maximum ash content of 6% on a dry matter basis." There is no specific AAFCO definition for "eggs," so in this case "egg product" seems to be fine to use.
The fifth ingredient is sweet potatoes. Even people who like a grain-free food should understand that it's virtually impossible to have a food that is free of carbohydrates. Dogs don't really need carbs in the same proportion that humans do - and they don't have the long gastrointestinal tract to break them down as completely as we do. The food that your dog eats goes through his system much more quickly than the food we eat. But dogs still can use some good quality carbs for energy. A good source of carbs such as sweet potatoes also adds fiber to the diet. In addition to dietary fiber, sweet potatoes contain vitamins A and C, iron, calcium, and beta carotene. They are a complex carbohydrate they go on providing energy instead of releasing sugars in a quick burst, too.
There are lots of other interesting ingredients in the High Prairie formula. There is more meat with roasted bison and roasted venison - used for flavoring. There is also ocean fish meal. Taste of the Wild specifically states on their site that they source all of their protein meals from vendors who do not use ethoxyquin as a preservative. They only use natural preservatives. So that's a point in their favor. Taste of the Wild also says that all of their meats are bought from food grade suppliers and are certified hormone and antibiotic-free.
There are also a number or pre- and probiotics in the food to help in digestion. Along with dried chicory root, the food contains yucca schidigera extract, dried Enterococcus faecium fermentation product, dried Lactobacillus acidophilus fermentation product, dried Lactobacillus casei fermentation product, dried Lactobacillus plantarum fermentation product,dried Trichoderma longibrachiatum fermentation extract. All of these extracts and fermentation products work in your dog's gut to help him keep good bacteria and digest his food better. If you had to buy these products separately (and you can find most of them in health food stores or online for pets), they would cost a lot to add to your dog's food.
Finally, Taste of the Wild uses chelated minerals. Chelated minerals are better than just adding minerals to a food. With chelated minerals the minerals become attached to the proteins for better absorption in the digestive tract.
So, there are a lot of very good things in this list of ingredients.
The quality of the ingredients in Taste of the Wild High Prairie Canine Formula with Roasted Bison & Roasted Venison looks to be very good. There is very little to quibble with here.
The only issue I would note of concern is the presence of both tomatoes and tomato pomace. Tomatoes and tomato pomace do supply lycopene and beta carotene, as well as vitamin C, but most dog food companies use them as a source of soluble fiber. You will probably be seeing them more and more often in dog foods so they really aren't bad ingredients here.
One other thing rather puzzles me and that is the source of fat in the food. Canola oil is a good source of fat, albeit a plant source. The food lists 18 percent crude fat, minimum, so I'm wondering where the rest of the fat comes from in the ingredients. I suppose it could come from the protein meals which can contain skin. (That's not a bad thing. It's good for your dog.)
* Not recognized as an essential nutrient by the AAFCO Dog Food Nutrient Profile.
Taste of the Wild® High Prairie Canine® Formula with Roasted Bison & Roasted Venison is formulated to meet the nutritional levels established by the AAFCO Dog Food Nutrient Profiles for maintenance.
Taste of the Wild High Prairie Canine Formula with Roasted Bison & Roasted Venison provides a whopping 32 percent crude protein (Minimum), which is well above the government's recommendations (18 percent for adult dogs). Don't worry. This is not too much protein for a healthy dog. But if your dog has any kidney or liver problems, I would avoid this food. Otherwise, this should be a great food for active dogs. The 18 percent fat in Taste of the Wild High Prairie Canine Formula with Roasted Bison & Roasted Venison is well above the government's recommendations (9 to 15 percent for an adult dog), but good quality fat is good for your dog.
You should notice that the food's AAFCO statement is based on a nutrient profile for the food and not on feeding trials. Both nutrient profiles and feeding trials are acceptable to AAFCO, though feeding trials (which cost a lot more to carry out) are generally considered better from a consumer's standpoint.
Taste of the Wild has enjoyed a good reputation and pet owners have been delighted with it. However, people continue to be suspicious of Diamond Pet Foods. Lots of people who feed this food are unaware that it is made by Diamond and they might not feed it if they made the connection.
Taste of the Wild High Prairie Canine Formula with Roasted Bison & Roasted Venison, and probably the company's other formulas, appear to be very good foods and I would recommend them, especially if you are looking for a good grain-free food at a reasonable price.
Taste Of The Wild Dog Food has received our highest 5 paw rating.

Our leaders' answer to all economic problems is printing and lending more money. Is that a solution, or a denial that there even is a problem?
Our own fed promises a dollar-destroying low interest rate, for another two years. Overspending governments are not interested in a strong currency. They want your currency and purchasing power to be as weak as possible.
Technically, the counter trend rally that the dollar is enjoying looks to be headed into mid-October. The move looks to be an oversold bounce and nothing more. A byproduct of the strengthening dollar is a stock market that is in great danger.
My technical work continues to point to new lows for the stock market with a mid-October timeline, and that fits with my dollar bear rally timeline.
Stock Market Destruction Chart
The stock market has pretty much given me what I had expected. On June 24th I issued the headline, "Gold Stocks Bottom While SP500 Tops Out." I targeted the 11,700 area for the Dow, and that target was acquired in early September, and the rollover I projected from there occurred on schedule. What is the next move now?
As the dollar finishes its bounce, it's likely to continue to tear up the stock market. The stock market has a queasy feeling to it between now and the middle of October. I see new lows coming to the stock market, likely towards the 9500 area, or even a tad lower. The target of my highlighted head and shoulders formation would put the market in that general area.
The numbers I'm talking about for the Dow cannot help but scare investors who remember the destruction of 2008. With real terror, so comes your greatest opportunity. I'm watching my internal sentiment indicators for the stock market very closely, to identify the area of greatest opportunity for you.
A key indicator of the health of the economy is the copper trade. Copper is called "Dr. Copper" for good reason. Copper is said to be the metal with a Ph.D. in economics, for its ability to determine the health of the future of the global economy.
Dr. Copper turned lower in 2008 as the credit crisis was just getting started. Then it started moving higher in the last days of 2008, three months before things turned around for the stock market. That is just one example of many cases where copper has lead the economy and the stock market.
I'm not referring to copper as a commodity to sell or short, but rather as a barometer that measures the health of the economy. What copper is saying about the economy and the health of the stock market right now it is quite troubling, and it is in full agreement with my mid- October stock market target analysis.

There is never fighting in Olympic hockey, and this isn't 1975 anymore. There aren't all-out bench clearing brawls anymore, and fighting has been toned down massively over the years. Watch an actual hockey game for once, and get a clue people.

Thanks to advocacy efforts and Congressional support, D.C. Booth will be open in 2015! The U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service had been planning on removing the archives collection to the east coast in 2015 but Congress had specific language added to the Omnibus Appropirations bill that will prevent them from moving the archives this year - thank you to Senator Johnson, Senator Thune, Representative Noem and many other senators from across the nation!
This past spring of 2014, we (the Booth Society) submitted a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request with the US Fish & Wildlife Service (USFWS) to find out what plans they have in store for our archives but most of that information was retracted. However, the FOIA request did prove that the hatchery was definitely going to be shut down in the fall of 2013, but advocacy stopped that from happening. The FOIA also proved that the decision to close the hatchery is not based on a lack of funding - what it is based on is still unknown. It is known that moving the entire archives collection to the National Conservation Training Center in West Virginia will not save the USFWS any money for many years.
We still need YOUR help to keep this educational attraction and cultural treasure OPEN, with the ARCHIVES remaining onsite under the continuted operations of the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service. Together, our efforts in the fall of 2013 saved the hatchery for fiscal year 2014 & 2015. We now have to continue to advocate to keep the archives and USFWS staff at D.C. Booth. We did it once, hopefully we can do it again with your help!
The most important thing you can do is call or write to the Secretary of the Department of Interior - Sally Jewell. Let her know how important it is that the entire archives collection stay at D.C. Booth - and that USFWS staff needs to stay at the hatchery too. The archives are written into the hatchery's mission statement - they are the hatchery's reason for exisitence. The archives at D.C. Booth is the largest fisheries related collection in the United States and brings in research requests and researchers visiting Spearfish from around the country and world. Let her know that moving the archives would cost the USFWS more money, not save money.
Omnibus Appropriations Bill language (see page 10 and 11):
Here are some recent articles from our regional publications discussing the options on the table at this time:
Federal Spending Bill Secures DC Booth Hatchery through Sept. 2015
The Intent of Congress in respect to National Fish Hatcheries - Hatchery International
Hatchery archives removal - Black Hills Pioneer
Spearfish's Best Kept Secret: D.C. Booth Historic National Fish Hatchery - Horse Country Living (article starts on p.26)
Feds insist they want Booth Hatchery to stay open - Rapid City Journal
Feds push for removal of Hatchery's archives - Black Hills Pioneer
Fate of D.C. Booth Fish Hatchery remains uncertain - SDPB
Is DC Booth on the chopping block again? - Black Hills Pioneer
Booth Society files FOIA regquest with feds - Rapid City Journal
D. C. Booth Historic National Fish Hatchery Files Freedom Of Information Act Request - SDPB
The most important thing you can do to help the Hatchery is send a letter of support for the Hatchery to Secretary Sally Jewell. You may also send letters to the S.D. Congressional delegates (you do not have to be a SD citizen), to the USFWS and to SD Gov. Daugaard. You can also make a donation or sign up for a membership with our organization, the Booth Society. We are the nonprofit fisheries friends group of the hatchery that has spearheaded the advocacy campaign from the beginning. Your monetary donation will help with additional advocacy costs for the current fiscal year 2014. Click here for more information on donations and memberships.
Click here to sign the petition to save our Hatchery!
Ask your co-workers, friends, neighbors, family and associates to send a letter or call their senators and representatives today!
Contact the USFWS, S.D. Congressional Delegation and the SD Governor.
WRITE, VISIT or CALL your representatives. You may also email them through their website. You DO NOT have to be a resident of South Dakota to write to S.D. delegates. You may also want to write to your state senators and represenatives about this projected closure and the planned closures of other fish hatcheries nationwide, such as Leadville National Fish Hatchery in Colorado (est. 1889) and numerous hatcheries in the southeast.
To expedite your effort to write to Secretary Jewell, SD Congressional Delegates, the SD Governor or the USFWS, we have provided addresses below.
Here are our letters we've been sending (please feel free to print and send yourself):
November 2014
Recipient name and title
City, State and Zip Code
Dear _______,
I am writing in support of keeping the entire archives collection at the D.C. Booth Historic National Fish Hatchery & Archives in Spearfish, South Dakota. I am also writing in support of keeping the facility funded and adequately staffed with full-time U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service (FWS) employees including a project leader, curator, administrative officer and maintenance chief.
Removing the archives from D.C. Booth would be like removing a vital organ. A $4 million appropriation from Congress in the early 1990's resulted in the construction of the Collection Management Facility, which provides DOI compliant storage for the 175,000 item collection. Having the archives at D.C. Booth has been instrumental in our historical designation, the National Fish Culture Hall of Fame being on-site, educational and youth initiatives, and volunteer programming (14,000 hrs/yr). Removing the archives will eliminate our identity, reduce our volunteer hours and affect visitation.
The FWS is planning on removing the best and most valuable artifacts of the archive collection and transferring them to the National Conservation Training Center (NCTC) in West Virginia. NCTC is largely closed-off and inaccessible to the general public. D.C. Booth receives 150,000 visitors per year, all who learn about the mission of the FWS through the artifacts on display at the hatchery. Why deny our nation's youth and public from continuing to learn about America's rich fisheries and conservation past, present and future?
Why take any archives if they are going to leave some? Don't the items left behind warrant the same care and protection by a professional curator and archivist? FWS have informed Senator Johnson they have no intent of re-filling the curator position at DC Booth. They told Black Hills Pioneer newspaper that NCTC would ship artifacts to DC Booth for changing out exhibits in the museum. Furthermore, NCTC does not have adequate space for more items and would have to spend a significant amount of money on additional DOI compliant storage. The FWS is citing moving the archives and reducing staff as a money saving endeavor. However, they have failed to provide a cost-benefit analysis. It sure seems like this will cost the FWS much more money than if they were to keep D.C. Booth open with staffing and the full archives remaining on-site.

Your father, he is dead
I see him in my head
Majical Cloudz is music band from Canada. Rooted in solo material written by Devon Welsh between rural Ontario and Montreal, he joined with Matthew Otto in February 2012 to collaboratively produce and perform. Their performance is deeply expressive — strong vocals sit on top of washes of white noise, filtered synths and sparse thuds. The songs are intensely lyrical, oriented around themes of death, patience, family, and desire. Their live show celebrates the joy in sadness and the value of a shared musical experience. (last.fm)
Emily kai Bock is a photographer and video director coming from Canada. She applied for film school and got through one semester as she was too busy with projects outside of school. Making those music videos was more of a priority for her, and so she had to choose between the two. She has already collaborated with big names of the music scene. Bock's work has a dreamy, filmic quality, and a surrealistic style —the troubled figure skater in Grizzly Bear's "Yet Again" or Doldrums' Airick Woodhead pushing a shopping cart through the Mojave Desert in "She Is The Wave". She also directed a video for Coca-Cola last year, while she has being nominated for the Prism Prize.

"Beaux" Beus started out in a different art form: at school he was a competitive saxophonist, before discovering drawing at the age of 21. Currently he works as a freelancer in the areas of concept design, children's books and portraits.
Web: www.beauxpaint.com
Bryan "Beaux" Beus was raised near Salt Lake City, Utah, and flirted with being a saxophonist before he started to draw. However, upon going to college at Brigham Young University he found something wasn't right about pursuing a career in music. At the age of 19 he took a break from his studies to move to Russia for a two-year service mission, teaching people about strengthening families, faith, the English language, and avoiding drugs and alcohol. When he returned to Utah, his best friend gave him a 'how to draw' book by Quentin Blake and it was love at first sight. Bryan, now 24, has been drawing all day everyday since and can't think of anything he'd rather spend his life doing. He now works as a freelancer doing concept design, children's books, and portraits; long-term, he hopes to also draw science fiction and fantasy book covers and figures, and landscapes for fine-art galleries.

Healthy Tips for Entertaining for Super Bowl
A video giving great healthy tips for entertaining on Super Bowl Sunday AND a cooking demo to help you make an outstandingly healthy Super Bowl treat, Soft Pretzels. And healthy recipes GALORE! Get all the healthy Super Bowl goods here!
I'm not really a huge football fan. By that I mean that I can't remember the last time I watched a game.
Oh wait. Yes I do.
It was last year's Super Bowl!
What is it about Super Bowl that makes us all, even the non-footballers, drop everything to sit on the couch and watch grown men run full speed at each other in pursuit of an oddly-shaped ball?
Is it because we all desperately want to know who the champions will be?
Is it the sometimes controversial half time show?
Is it the commercials?
Is it the food?
Oh yeah. Of course it is! Super Bowl is ALL about the food.
Super Bowl is one of those events where our greasy cheesy dreams get laid out on the table for us to experience in real life. It's one of the only days I can think of where I don't question the ability to just sit there eating bad-for-me stuff for hours on end.
But all that has changed this year. This year I've been lucky enough to be on the receiving end of a slew of healthy tips for Super Bowl food. It all happened here in this video chat with Katie from Katie's Cucina and Liz from The Lemon Bowl. Liz specializes in the healthy made delicious and so this girl knows her stuff! And she totally schooled me about the problem with my nonchalance towards overindulgence on this rare couch potato holiday.
Get all kinds of great healthy tips here in our video chat.
So many great tips and ideas, right? I don't know about you but I will definitely be eating a nice big healthy salad BEFORE my Super Bowl party begins!
Looking for more healthy food ideas for your Super Bowl Party?
I've got you covered. Check out my cooking demo teaching you How To Make Soft Pretzels. These bready dippers are always boiled and baked, never fried. And you can use a whole wheat flour in the dough. Totally make them on the small side for a bit of built in portion control.
Other great healthy tips and healthy recipes can be found in this Low Carb Gluten Free Super Bowl Roundup by All Day I Dream About Food.
And here's a list of some other great healthy recipes for Super Bowl and for all your entertaining needs:
Classic Hummus with Toasted Pine Nuts

Rain, truck traffic doesn't deter local man's walk for USO
By Denise Crosby firstname.lastname@example.com April 26, 2013 11:27AM
Article Extras
Army Capt. Brian Andries' biggest problem as he made his 165-mile solo walk from Oswego to Charleston to raise money for USO Illinois were the trucks zooming by as he hiked along Route 47.
It wasn't that he feared for his life as they sailed flew past him. He just had to hang on to his hat to keep it from flying off his head.
Then there was the rain.
What started as a drizzle quickly turned to a good "drenching" for the 25-year-old Oswego native as he made his way from Forrest to Gibson City.
A nice gas station attendant in the tiny town of Sibily helped Andries get his rain poncho over his body and backpack, he said Wednesday morning of his adventures the previous day. But as he made his way south, he realized he'd have to forgo his own protection to better cover the gear that was starting to get wet.
Yes, the young man got very, very wet.
And so, the musician and songwriter who was also an engineer platoon leader in Iraq, began "singing in the rain."
At one point, Andries admitted, one of his selections was "Seasons of Love" from the musical Rent.
"I'm glad no one was around," he quipped, obviously still in good spirits despite this arduous mission he's been on since Saturday.
How does he spend his time when he's not warbling show tunes? He's doing a little social media, texting friends during breaks and even making phone calls to those who have donated to his cause. (Go to www.gofundme.com/walkforuso to contribute)
"I'm doing better every day," he says. And as the finish line nears (he needs to get to Champagne today, a good 30-mile hike), his excitement grows.
One more thing that keeps him going: a nice big pizza he consumes at the end of each day.
Is he going a little crazy as he walks the roads of Illinois? Maybe, he says. "After all, I am singing songs from Rent."
Water so far has not been a problem. He stopped at a river outside Solomon and filled his filtration pouch with dirty flood water that turned into perfectly good drinking water a short time later. "Pizza again," he said of dinner that was purchased at the local gas station.
His mom finally got the daily phone call from her son on Monday evening, telling her all was well. It was a belated call since cell phone reception "wasn't all that good" in the small Illinois town.
Mary Andries tried to convince her son to make this journey with a friend, but he wanted to do it on his own, leaving her extremely proud but even more apprehensive.
On leave from the Army after serving in Iraq as an engineer platoon leader, Andries, a singer/songwriter who also DJ'd during his years at Eastern, plans to head to Los Angeles, where he will join the Reserves and try to jump-start a career in the entertainment business.
By the way, rain is in the forecast, so the captain has his poncho ready to go.
To donate to this Walk for USO, go to www.gofundme.com/walkforuso.

Gen-Y is a generation that has never been without today's level of access to goods, information and even their friends with new social media. But the journey is never-ending. Where do these new consumers of Access see it taking us next? For the past three years, FedEx has been talking about Access to influencers, customers, employees and other key audiences. Now we want to hear back from this Access Generation.
Nov 20
FedEx executive Bill Margaritis participated in a panel discussion "Ethical Globalization: An Exploration of Opportunities and Challenges" at last week's 16th annual Net Impact Conference at the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania. The conference's theme this year was "The Sustainable Advantage: Creating Social and Environmental Value". Bill spoke about the topic of Access. The conference was attended by approximately 2,000 MBA students from accross the country and around the world.

America just concluded one of the most defining Presidential campaigns in its history. More citizens than ever before crowded polling places and exercised their right to vote. And for the first time on the same ballot, these empowered citizens were given the opportunity to elect our country's first female Vice President or its first African American President. It was a huge moment for all Americans – one I hope continues to energize us for the future.

Feldman: With more than 42 million people currently infected with HIV, and nearly 25 million who have already died of AIDS, we cannot afford anything less than urgency in our response to this world-wide crisis.
Contact: Alexis Rice or Jacob Fain 202-387-2800
WASHINGTON, March 17, 2003 - Rabbi Marla Feldman, Director of the Commission on Social Action of Reform Judaism (CSA), issued the following statement welcoming the introduction of a bill to combat the global AIDS crisis being introduced today by Representatives Hyde & Lantos.
Today, in a move that we have been eagerly anticipating for weeks, Rep. Henry Hyde (R-IL) introduced the "United States Leadership Against HIV/AIDS, Tuberculosis, and Malaria Act of 2003," a visionary bill that makes a commitment to true U.S. leadership of the global battle against these diseases. With more than 42 million people currently infected with HIV, and nearly 25 million who have already died of AIDS, we cannot afford anything less than urgency in our response to this world-wide crisis. It has been six weeks since the President outlined an unprecedented response to the AIDS pandemic, and while details of his plan have been slow to emerge, we are delighted by the plan presented by Rep. Hyde.
This bill recommends spending $3 billion a year to fight global AIDS, TB and Malaria for the next five years, with up to one third of that for the Global Fund to Fight AIDS, TB and Malaria. Not only would this record financial contribution demonstrate our country's commitment to ending these terrible diseases, but it also would serve as a challenge to other nations to increase their efforts to address this international crisis.
We are particularly heartened by Rep Hyde's inclusion of funding for the Global Fund to Combat AIDS, TB, and Malaria, which is the single most effective tool at our disposal for turning the tide against these diseases. The Fund, which is currently supporting 165 programs in 85 countries, directs money to programs quickly and efficiently. By making a commitment to work through this multilateral mechanism, we strengthen our ties to our allies and build bridges in our relationships with potential partners.
As Reform Jews, in the face of this human catastrophe, we reaffirm the commandments of bikur cholim (visiting the sick), pikuach nefesh (saving of lives), gemilut chasadim (deeds of loving-kindness), and tzedakah (economic justice) - these have been our values and commitments since Sinai and continue to guide us today. Where pain and suffering exist, we must provide comfort and solace. Where neglect and inequity prevail, we must bring compassion and justice.
Rep. Hyde's bill is a huge step in the right direction. We now call upon the House to pass this bill and on the Senate to match the House's commitment to fight the global AIDS crisis.
The Religious Action Center of Reform Judaism is the Washington office of the Union of American Hebrew Congregations (UAHC) , whose over 900 congregations across North America encompass 1.5 million Reform Jews , and the Central Conference of American Rabbis(CCAR) whose membership includes over 1800 Reform rabbis .

First Alert Weather: Isolated severe storms possible Thursday
Published On: Dec 24 2013 08:39:08 AM EST
Updated On: Sep 26 2013 02:08:16 PM EDT
Updated On: Sep 26 2013 02:08:16 PM EDT
A cold front will be moving into South Florida later Thursday.
This will destabilize the atmosphere, triggering a round of scattered storms.
Storms have a good potential to be strong or even severe.
The main threat will be quick wind gusts up to 60 mph.
You can also expect frequent lightning and very heavy rain in the stronger storms.
Once the front passes through during the evening hours, better weather is ahead right in time for the weekend.

Sponsored Deals
They're like ads, but good.
OK, yes, companies pay a little something to be Sponsored Deals. But we don't allow just any old crap in this section. Sponsored Deals are proposed to us by other retailers, manufacturers, and even other daily deal sites. If we find the deal compelling enough that our members will appreciate us bringing it to their attention, we'll feature it here. Believe it or not, we have a reputation to uphold. If your store would like to be considered for this space, please contact us for details. But if your deal is lame, or sketchy, no amount of money will let you buy your way in.
Community Deals
It's whatever you want it to be.
Pretty much, anyway. This is where you find the deals that wooters like you have ferreted out and brought to light. We're thinking it'll turn into a massive database of discounted products from around the Web, constantly expanding to absorb the newest deals from the very moment their prices are slashed, with each deal immediately rated by hordes of savvy voters to spotlight the very greatest deals in the world today. Hey, we can dream, right?
We use a fancy algorithm to determine which deals are catching the most buzz – they're under the Popular tab, which is the default view of this section. You can look for the most popular deals today, this week, or this month. The Fresh tab features the most recently submitted deals, so that's where to look for deals that everybody else doesn't know about yet. And the Search bar does what a Search bar does, only, uh, much wootier! Yeah! Right on!
Ask The Community
They probably won't bite.
Organic bullets? Vegetarian haggis? Cheap tickets to Antarctica? The best high-performance sweatsocks for under $100? If you're looking for a deal that doesn't appear to show up in our Community Deals section, throw the question to your fellow cheapskates. Or answer a question for one of your fellow cheapskates. Or vote for your favorite questions, or your favorite answers, or… maybe we should call this section "Ask, Answer, Comment On, And Vote In The Community", but that won't fit on the page.

La Pergola Hotel, Barga
26 Traveller
Reviews - La Pergola Hotel
So relaxing...Submitted by: Luana in 13/03/10
- Age Group: 5160
- From: United Kingdom
- Traveller type: Mature Couple
The Pergola Hotel is a very friendly family-run hotel, located in a quiet street in Barga but close to all the attractions. As soon as you enter the hotel, you can feel the tranquil atmosphere. The entrance has large sofas, where you are able to relax, reading, chatting or watching the world go by. Our stay this time was no different to the others, in that the family and staff welcomed us warmly and from then on were always friendly and helpful. Our room was very comfortable, equipped with all the necessary amenities, and from the balcony, we had a wonderful view of the town. We mostly ate in the Pergola restaurant, where the food is delicious. A lift takes you to the large roof terrace, where you can relax on the deckchairs or take a dip in the jacuzzi. Drinks can be ordered by calling reception, and these arrive promptly. On one side of the roof terrace is a spectacular panorama of the mountainous apennine region, and on the other is a splendid view of Barga old town. This is like looking at a large pop-up postcard! We have stayed in the Pergola Hotel several times and we thoroughly recommend it.

As part of a Page & Moy group holiday we found the hotel clean and pleasant, with excellent staff attentiveness to all our needs. Well cooked and presented five course Italian evening meals, with copious local wines. A very pleasant, homey experience.

The tale of an actress, her dead father she loved, her overbearing mother, her manipulative husband, her concerned agent, and a glass snow globe in which she wishes to escape her life.
Dino Sieger, 2012-12-19 10:56:13
A young woman is pushed by the expectations of her mother and agent who are determined to capitalize on her talent and beauty. She still mourns the passing of her father and finds solace in a snow-globe paperweight imagining herself to be inside the idyllic winter setting. This episode explores the exploitive relationship between the star and the public and the effects of one\'s past on the present.
Ric Romani, 2013-01-17 11:30:22
Lots of brooding and lots of Freud in this episode. The mostly low-key performances suit the story of an alienated woman who retreats further and further into herself as a response to being surrounded by manipulative and selfish (yet somehow well-intended?) people. The resolution is a bit too pat, but the effective use of music and dreamlike tone help make up for some of the story's weaknesses.

Hello fellow cyber friends.
My name is Laura and I live in Ottawa, Canada. Last year a friend and I put on a benefit to raise awareness and funds for organizations who are working to stop violence against women. While our main goal and target is to raise awareness of the atrocities and the emergency in the DRC, we also donated some funds to a local organization as well as a national one.
I`m excited to be doing the benefit again this year - with a bigger team!
Though I`ve been very active in causes for much of my short life so far, working on this benefit last year and getting to meet other women who are amazing role models and so strong and courageous made me want to do more. So, I left my job in high tech and moved to the international aid and humanitarian assistance organization CARE in Canada.
I`m looking forward to working to make the world a better place.
I`m looking forward to connecting with more powerful people who are hopefully doing the same. Whether as their day job or not.
I think this is an amazing opportunity to share, create and grow together.

Boat Discovered Under San Francisco Street
While prepping for construction of a residential building in San Francisco, Californias South of Market district, workers uncovered a 23-foot ship, reported Reuters.
Once the crew spotted the boats outline, a conservationist was brought to the scene and workers abandoned power tools to prevent damage. The nearly intact boat is thought to be from the mid-19th century, around the time of the gold rush.
While parts of ships have previously been recovered from under the pavement of San Francisco, it is rare to find a vessel well-preserved. The public will likely be able to view a display of the boat in the coming months.

A police officer is being treated for gunshot wounds after getting hit while on the job Wednesday, and police have a suspect in custody in connection with the incident.
According to police, Officer James Li and his partner, 30-year-old Randy Chow, saw two men entering the back of the B46 bus at approximately 5 p.m. Wednesday.
When the officers went to remove them for evading the fare, police say one man fled west on Empire Boulevard near Utica Avenue.
At 10 feet away, the suspect allegedly fired three gunshots with a .45-caliber Smith and Wesson.
Li, 26, was shot in both legs and the groin, according to police.
Police say that both officers, who graduated the police academy in December, returned fire.
Witnesses who turned out to be off-duty EMTs saw the commotion and came to his aid, according to police.
The New York City Fire Department says that they were EMTs Shaun Alexander and Kadija Hall, both with more than two decades on the job.
Police say that New Yorkers who saw the situation unfold directed officers to a building on a nearby block.
Police then arrested 28-year-old Rashawn Robinson in a hallway on the fifth floor of the building, allegedly with a gun in hand.
"PO Chow was seconds away and says, 'That's the person who not only illegally entered the bus, but that's also the person who fired at me and my partner,'" said NYPD Chief of Department Philip Banks.
Police Commissioner William Bratton and Mayor Bill de Blasio visited the injured officer and the other officers who were involved.
De Blasio commended both the NYPD and the public for their good work.
"I think for anybody, the first time someone turns on you with a gun and starts firing, you can imagine what that experience would be like for any human being, any new officer, and these officers were outstanding in their response," de Blasio said.
"So a dangerous felon now off the street, another firearm off the street, all as a result of very good police work by two rookie police officers who I'm pleased to have as members of the New York City Police Department," Bratton said.
Authorities say Robinson has six prior arrests and an active warrant from Pennsylvania for the manufacture and distribution of narcotics.
He was not injured when he was taken into custody, according to police.
Police say they're not sure if the second fare evader was associated with the shooter, but they say he's not in custody.

Stupid Tricks with Network Time
I normally point my machines to sync time with a server inside our company firewall. For desktop machines, this works fine. For laptops, it's an issue because when the machine is off the company network, it can't see the time server. Most of the time this is no big deal because the time is right (or almost right). But two things I've seen can cause the time to get set to the wrong value: 1) the battery goes dead and the system loses the time, and 2) a MacBook Pro gets booted into Windows and has its time updated while in Windows. (This, of course, is caused by the fact that OS X and Windows read the system clock in two different ways.) I'm sure there are other scenarios.
This is a problem because (once back in Mac OS X) the user cannot fix the time without an admin password. And even with the admin password, they have to either turn off network time sync, or point the network time sync to a server reachable on the network they are on. Once they return to the corporate network, either they now can't reach the external time server because of firewall issues, or they have to remember to undo their changes, or some managment system in place (like radmind) undoes their changes for them, but then they have to redo them when they leave the office again!
I thought computers were supposed to make our life easier!
It would be so much easier if you could just specify multiple time servers – one inside the company network, and one outside. That way the time sync could happen no matter where you were.
Fortunately, you can do exactly that. There's an undocumented feature of the Date & Time preferences pane: in the "Set date & time automatically" field, you can enter multiple servers seperated by a space. In the following image, you can see I've entered both "time" and "time.apple.com":
This setting gets written to /private/etc/ntpd.conf, so you can also just manage this file:
rhapsody:~ gneagle$ cat /private/etc/ntp.conf
server time minpoll 12 maxpoll 17
server time.apple.com minpoll 12 maxpoll 17
You can add more than two servers if you want.Explore posts in the same categories: OS X, Windows

Thanks Greg! That's something I've been looking into for a long time :)
Never realized the answer was that easy!

Just stumbled across this. What an awesome solution. But I'm having an interesting result. After adding/appending time.apple.com to my existing time server, date & time changes to 10/15/2006 & 02:18:xx! Currently date & time is 09/08/2006 around 16:23:xx. To sync back to correct time I need to remove time.apple.com leaving our internal sync server info, uncheck "Set date & time…" and recheck it.
Why do you suppose this is not working for me?
Appreciate any input you may have.
October 25, 2006 at 8:06 am
"It should use the first time server that responds – so assuming your internal server is reponding, it shouldn't be consulting time.apple.com."
The entries in the System Preferences pane get written to /etc/ntpd.conf (with /etc being a link to /private/etc) with a minpoll of 12 and a maxpoll of 17. ntpd will use *all* listed servers as candidates for synchronization. As a result, it will try to contact all the listed servers.
Unfortunately, I haven't found a good way to keep use of the Time & Date panel from changing manually-entered values for minpoll and maxpoll.
$ man ntpd
and http://www.ntp.org/ are good references for ntp itself.

Whoa awesome tricks;) you just made my to do list for today

I synchronize my G4 time clock with time.apple.com, but I suspect good old Apple has not kept up with the political vagaries of daylight savings time changes. This morning (Monday 10/27/2008) I noticed my time clock was an hour earlier than usual, and it occurred to me that yesterday was the formerly traditional date for the switchover back to standard time. This year that date is is November 2.
Hey, Apple, wake up!
Since I live in NY I revised my clock setting to Alantic time, and I expect to switch back to Eastern this comning Sunday 11/2. Is there a better way?
May 6, 2009 at 3:14 am
I just installed LittleSnitch. Just to see what it does.
Noticed that time is checked really often, say several times per minute. Is there any reason to check so often.
Can the frequency be set to something more like 5 minutes. By an average user, not a Unix guru.
Thanks, Paul

[…] file (which stores the network time server addresses) and then push that file out to your machines. Greg Neagle has a good write-up on how this works. You can also set the server settings with a script. One way to do this is the following: #!/bin/sh […]

I would hazard a guess that some of the Slow Food people have issued
such a cookbook. Their wine guides are translated into English.
And then, there's always Babelfish for doing translation. The
result is usually readable, although not particularly grammatical.

This is a pocket book, good for bringing along on a sea journey. This imagetext tries to evoke the feeling of a bewildered traveling. The words are awkwardly placed, and clearly out of their element. Still they continue on, going somewhere. The goddess whispers. The sea of the book is composed of two photographs I found in a family album lost in an archive. Here again, as in Two of us, the number two breaks off into the infinite. The text cuts through Samuel Butler's translation of Homer's Odyssey.
B&W perfect bound paperback, 106 pages. Rochester, NY 2007.
Priced at 40 euro, plus shipping. Order through webshop. Order through email.

Continuous Glucose Monitoring
Blood glucose monitoring has gotten easier, more accurate, and less painful over the years, but it still provides only snapshots of a person's blood glucose level. Even a person who monitors several times a day really only knows what his blood glucose level is several times a day; the rest of the time, he simply can't be sure. However, an increasingly popular continuous glucose monitoring device called the CGMS System Gold can help fill in some of those gaps.
The CGMS System Gold is the successor of the CGMS, a Medtronic MiniMed product that was approved for marketing by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in 1999. The system measures the glucose level of the interstitial fluid (the fluid between the cells of the body) just under the skin every 10 seconds, then averages the readings over five-minute intervals and stores those averages in memory. (Readings and averages are not displayed in real time.) That adds up to 288 recorded glucose levels during the course of a 24-hour period. Although there may be a slight time lag between changes in blood glucose levels and changes in interstitial glucose levels, the difference is negligible. The CGMS System Gold can be used for up to three days at a time.
The main advantage of a continuous glucose monitoring system such as the CGMS System Gold is its ability to uncover patterns that are missed by conventional blood glucose monitoring. Many people find, for example, that their blood glucose level after meals is much higher than they realized because they were not monitoring when their blood glucose was high. It is also not uncommon for continuous monitoring to reveal previously undetected hypoglycemia during the night—again, a time when most people do not monitor regularly.
Sometimes, the CGMS System Gold is simply worn for three days to see what blood glucose patterns emerge. In many cases, however, a health-care provider will recommend using it to gather information on a specific aspect of diabetes care. For instance, a pump user might use continuous monitoring to assess his basal insulin rates. This is often done by skipping a meal each day to see whether blood glucose levels stay in target range without the influence of food or bolus doses. The CGMS System Gold would give a complete look at what's happening between the two meals that are eaten. Continuous monitoring can also be used to assess a person's insulin-to-carbohydrate ratios (the number of grams of carbohydrate one unit of insulin covers at meals). In this case, the person would eat preplanned meals with known amounts of carbohydrate and would inject or infuse preplanned amounts of insulin before meals to see whether the doses of insulin were sufficient to cover the food.
While the CGMS System Gold itself is not approved by the FDA for making insulin dosing decisions, the data it provides can help determine when conventional blood glucose monitoring should detect out-of-range blood glucose levels. Changes in insulin dosing or timing of insulin injections or boluses might then be made on the basis of such monitoring, and the CGMS System Gold could then be used again to evaluate the effects of those changes.
It should be noted that the CGMS System Gold has no direct effect on diabetes control while it is being used; its data can only be viewed and analyzed after the fact. The user must carry out his usual diabetes self-care regimen, including blood glucose monitoring, for blood glucose control while using the system. In fact, to get the most out of continuous monitoring, the user may want to keep more complete records than usual, noting timing and content of meals, timing and doses of medicines or insulin, duration and exertion level of physical activity, and any feelings of stress or unusual occurrences. With detailed records like these, the user can see not just what his glucose level was doing but also what influenced any rises or falls.
Using the system
Each day that it is used, the CGMS System Gold must be calibrated, or compared against a known standard, four times. In this case, the standard is the user's blood glucose meter, so at least four conventional blood glucose checks, preferably spaced fairly evenly over a 24-hour period, must be done daily and the results entered into the system monitor. (Of course, as many other checks as are necessary to maintain blood glucose control during this time should also be performed.) Blood samples from fingertips must be used for calibration because the device is not approved for calibration with blood samples from alternate sites such as arms or legs. Because blood glucose meter results are being used as the standard, it's important that they be as accurate as possible. For this reason, it's a good idea for CGMS System Gold users to review their blood glucose monitoring technique and meter accuracy with a health-care provider before getting started with continuous monitoring.
In addition to entering at least four daily blood glucose monitoring results, the user can (and should) also enter mealtimes, insulin (or other medicine) dose times, and exercise times. These data are stored in the system's memory and are ultimately integrated into the analysis done at the end of the one- to three-day period. Since the system cannot store more detailed information such as what kinds of foods have been consumed or the type or intensity of exercises undertaken, keeping a daily logbook is recommended.
Because the system is not waterproof, it must be covered with a special shower pack during showers. In addition, insulin should not be administered near the sensor insertion site, and a health-care provider should be alerted if inflammation, infection, or bleeding develops at the site.
After the CGMS System Gold has been worn for the desired period of time, the sensor should be removed, the monitor turned off, and the system returned to the physician's office. The physician can then upload the data onto a computer via a device known as the Com-Station. Special software designed for use with the CGMS System Gold organizes and presents the information in the form of pie charts and graphs. (Click here for a sample chart.)
