How to Detox Your Diet Safelyby Toby Amidor in Diets & Weight Loss, January 4, 2013
The holidays have come and gone. You've indulged in your favorite meals, guzzled down delicious cocktails and now feel the need to detoxify and start fresh. Instead of trying unsafe plans which drastically cut calories, promote enemas and diuretics, and make you feel sick—how about a simple (and safe) detox plan instead?
The Purpose of Detox
Detox plans promise to defeat inflammation, boost fat-burning and eliminate toxins from your body. There's limited research behind many of these claims and most are dangerous — especially if followed for a prolonged period of time. The purpose of our organs like the skin, kidneys, intestines, liver and lymphatic system are to naturally detoxify your body. As such, there's no need to drop lots of dough on potentially dangerous cleanses, pills or teas.
I recently had a conversation with friend who does a popular detox plan. He claimed (as many of my clients do), that he wasn't sure it really detoxed his body but it was more of a mental and psychological overhaul for him. It's a way to gain control of what you eat and perhaps even gain control over other aspects of your life. If you feel the need to detox, then do so safely. Here are three suggestions:
#1: Out With the Old, In With the New
When's the last time you cleaned out your fridge, freezer and pantry? Take a few hours to go through your inventory and keep a running list of healthy essentials to stock up on. Toss expired foods and donate foods you tend to mindlessly indulge in (get them out of the house!).
Check out our top 5 pantry must haves
#2: Shop Smart
Instead of running into the store and choosing your usual items, start shopping smarter. This means preparing a shopping list based on healthy recipes and snacks. Oftentimes stores send out circulars with weekly sale items—save money by finding recipes that include those items. For example, if plain nonfat Greek yogurt is on sale then make a smoothie for breakfast one morning and snack on Greek yogurt topped with granola or fresh fruit another day. Smart shopping can help you make budget-friendly healthier choices!
#3: Eliminate Your Weakness
A healthy diet and weight loss plan includes all food groups including whole grains, fruit, veggies, dairy, healthy fats and lean protein. However, some folks wish to eliminate not-so-healthy choices as a way to detoxify. If you choose to do so, here is a list to choose from:
- Caffeine
- Alcohol
- Added sugars
- Processed foods
Most folks can't go cold turkey forever—and once you fall off the wagon, you'll feel bad about yourself. Instead of setting yourself up for failure, choose a reasonable time frame to eliminate that item (such as 1 week or 1 month). Once you accomplish your goal, you can choose to reintroduce the food in small amounts or keep it off of your menu.
TELL US: Is there a healthy way you detox?

Yawning Linked To Fetus Growth?
The researchers have a come up with a new way of determining the health of the fetus, well according to this new test conducted by Durham University and Lancaster University where in the 3D scan of 15 healthy fetuses was observed it was concluded that yawning is an activity that indicates the health and development of the baby.
There are some researchers who decline the process of yawning and call it just the opening of mouth by the fetus. However, the difference between yawning and opening of mouth has now been clearly pointed out by the new research where in the duration of opening the mouth was observed. During this research it was also observed that more than half of the times opening of the mouth was for yawning.
According to the study carried out where in 8 female and 7 male fetuses around 24-36 weeks from gestation were observed the there was a decline in the frequency of yawning from 28 weeks and also that the pattern did not vary between boys and girls.
And although it is too early to establish the role of yawning, the experts say that it has some concrete role in fetal development and it might help in determining the health of the fetus.
Dr. Nadja Reissland who leads the team from Durham University's department of psychology has to say that this study has only underlined the previous researches proving that yawning indicates the health of the fetus and as the development in the fetus increases the yawning decreases. Thus proving hat yawning is actually an indication of a healthy fetus. Although further research is required where in both the mother and the child would have to be tested to conclude that yawning is linked to the central nervous system and has role in the development of the fetus.

Carlos Marmol isn't guaranteed return to closer role
BY GORDON WITTENMYER firstname.lastname@example.com May 8, 2012 11:58PM
Chicago Cubs Vs Atlanta Braves. 9Th-Inning. Chicago Cubs No. 12 Alfonso Soriano reacts to the 3rd strikeout. I Scott Stewart~Sun-Times
Updated: June 11, 2012 9:23AM
Despite the widely held assumption that Carlos Marmol's return to the Cubs' closer role is only a matter of time, manager Dale Sveum left open the possibility that Marmol might not return to the role at all.
''I'm not going to make a change to make a change,'' said Sveum, who has used Rafael Dolis and James Russell as a right-left closer committee since demoting Marmol on Friday. ''If Dolis is doing well, and Russell in that role, whatever. I'm not going to make a change to make a change if things are going really well.''
Marmol, who signed a three-year, $20 million deal after a record-setting 2010, would become one of the most expensive setup men in the game if he's unable to win back the closer job.
Asked specifically Tuesday when Marmol would go back to closing, Sveum said: ''I didn't say he did have to. I'm just saying that there's a possibility. I mean, if he's throwing well, and he's throwing his fastball, and he shows me he's capable of doing it again ...''
Marmol walked the first two batters he faced in Monday's eighth inning with a 3-1 lead — drawing a heavy torrent of boos — before escaping without allowing a run.
Sveum liked the finish but was irked by the start, in particular the 3-2 slider Marmol threw for ball four to Michael Bourn leading off.
''We've talked about it,'' Sveum said of the fastball-first mentality he and pitching coach Chris Bosio are trying to instill in Marmol. ''It almost got him in trouble [Monday] night, again, on a 3-2 slider to a guy that can't hit the ball out of the ballpark. Those are the things that I want to start seeing before I put him back in the closer's role — to be able to throw a 3-2 fastball and see how far it can get hit.''
Feeling draft
Team president Theo Epstein said the team is down to a list of about 10 players it's considering for the No. 6 overall pick in the draft less than four weeks from now.
''It's probably the most important thing that we're doing right now to be honest,'' Epstein said of the preparation for the June 4-6 draft.
The Cubs are expected to focus more on restocking the depleted pitching side of the system through this year's draft.
Ryan Dempster has gone 14 consecutive starts without a win, dating to Aug. 11. He has 11 quality starts in that span, including all five this year. ''It's a shame,'' Sveum said. ''It's almost May 10 and not having a win with a [1.02] earned run average ... hard to believe.''
◆ Catcher Steve Clevenger (oblique) threw for the first time since his injury and hopes to start taking dry swings later this week.

More doctors, hospitals using electronic recordsMay 22, 2013 @ 7:45 am
WASHINGTON (AP) - The Obama administration says more doctors and hospitals are embracing technology as adoption of computerized medical records reaches a "tipping point" in America.
A report Wednesday from Health and Human Services says more than 50 percent of doctors' offices and 4 in 5 hospitals have transitioned from paper to electronic records, thanks partly to more than $14 billion in government incentive payments.
The hope is that electronic records will make caring for patients safer and less costly, by helping avoid mistakes and cutting down on duplication.
But others say there's still a long way to go. An outside group's report last year found little progress in getting medical computers in different offices to talk to each other. Concerns have also surfaced about patient privacy and vulnerability to fraud.

I'm not a big fan of the whole "awareness ribbon" thing, but if I had a pink ribbon, I'd be dyeing it red – a deep crimson – to express how pissed-off I am at the increasing trivialization of breast cancer. "Awareness" substitutes for the fury that ought to drive the search for effective and innovative cures and prevention. (Ditto for other cancers, too, though none of them have reached quite such dizzying heights of awareness.)
Just what is breast cancer awareness, anyway? We hear about it every year, and most of us probably think, "Early detection. Better funding for research. Support for women who are fighting the disease." A few of us might think: "Investigating environmental causes. Asking why the incidence of breast cancer is actually rising."
Well, we'd all be wrong. Here's how Evelyn Lauder describes it at HuffPo (and yes, I know only I am to blame for reading HuffPo):
In 1992, I co-created the Pink Ribbon with Alexandra Penney, then editor-in-chief of SELF magazine, and in turn started The Estée Lauder Companies' Breast Cancer Awareness Campaign. Today, the Pink Ribbon has become the ubiquitous symbol of breast health, and I'm thrilled to share that, to date, The Estée Lauder Companies has distributed more than 110 million Pink Ribbons worldwide. The 2010 Breast Cancer Awareness Campaign theme is: "Connect. Communicate. Conquer. Prevent Breast Cancer One Woman At A Time. The Pink Ribbon. Wear It. Share It."
(More here.)
In other words: All you have to do is wear a pink ribbon! If we all just pinkified ourselves sufficiently, we'd wipe out breast cancer.
(To be fair, Estelle Lauder also donates some pretty big chunks of change to research, as is explained at the end of the HuffPo piece. But still.)
My second peeve with the Lauder campaign is that this year, they seem to be hopping on the save-the-boobies bandwagon. They've recruited several bloggers to pose nude, their arms shielding their nipples. All in the name of breast cancer awareness, of course. There's a gesture at inclusiveness, with one man and one woman of color, as far as I can see, and one older woman in a three-generations shot. But that gesture is really just a slight nod. The rest of the women pictured are all conventionally sexy, white, and young enough to be winning the fight against gravity. (To be clear: I'm not dissing any of the bloggers involved, who likely went out of their comfort zone to promote a cause they care passionately about. I'm objecting to the overall impact of the campaign and the assumption that a sexy breast – and not the whole person – should become a focal point of activism.)
As I was viewing the site while sitting next to my husband on the couch, he glanced over and his eyes grew wide. "What are you looking at?" he wanted to know. To him, at least, these pictures didn't convey any anti-cancer message.
I griped last year about the sexualization and ageism of the Save the Boobs video and the Blogger Boobie-Thon. But they were bit players compared to Estelle Lauder, which is one of the biggest forces in "think pink" marketing.
I'm no prude. I'm quite fond of boobs, myself (especially my own). But let's be honest: Most of us who get breast cancer are no longer dewy and perky. The "passion" that the Estelle Lauder photo gallery was supposed to convey with a hand on the heart? That could be accomplished with clothes on, too. And then there's the basic problem that it's an outrage to make breast cancer – any cancer – sexy. Does anyone think that chemo patients feel sexier without their hair? That one's libido won't take a dive after a mastectomy or during the rigors of radiation and chemo? That anemia makes a gal or guy feel positively smoking hot?
People with cancer are usually still sexy to their lovers. But they often don't feel that way themselves. No matter how good its intentions, a campaign that reduces their life-threatening disease to their lost "hotness" isn't just sexist. It's cruel. No amount of pink ribboning can paper over that.

Potent Potassium
Potassium helps keep blood pressure down and aids muscle contractions, aids healthy electrical activity in the heart and rapid transmission of nerve impulses throughout the body. With the exception of calcium and phosphorus, no other mineral is as abundant in the human body as potassium.
Most people don't need to take supplements of this mineral because it's so widely available in foods such as bananas, orange juice, and potatoes.
Potassium aids in converting blood sugar (glucose, the body's foremost fuel), into glycogen, a form of energy that can be stored in the muscles and liver and released as needed.
Most adults easily get an adequate and safe amount of potassium -- about 5.6g -- from foods every day. In fact, there is no RDA for potassium.
By law, over-the-counter supplements cannot contain more than 99mg of potassium per pill, a ruling that applies to multivitamin and mineral preparations as well. Higher doses of potassium are available only by prescription and are necessary only in very special situations, such as the use of diuretics that promote potassium loss.
Potassium Supplements
Because food processing reduces the levels of naturally occurring nutrients in foods, supplementation may be necessary to insure adequate intake. Potassium Citrate is a well absorbed and highly bioavailable form of potassium.
Warnings: If you take a medication to control high blood pressure or heart disease, or if you have a kidney disorder, never take potassium supplements without medical supervision. Consuming potassium-rich foods is considered fine, however.
By BellyBytes.com
Food for Thought
Supplement Safety: The American Association of Poison Control Centers, published in the journal "Clinical Toxicology," no deaths have ever been found from vitamin or mineral supplements.
Another study discovered there were about 100,000 deaths per year from pharmaceutical drugs and none for natural supplements. Over a 10 year period, pharmaceuticals killed 1 million people.
Putting this into perspective: That is more than all the Americans killed in World War I, World War II, Korea, Vietnam, and the Gulf War - combined.

15 Minutes of Fame: Mixlering it up in world PvP
15 Minutes of Fame is WoW.com's look at World of Warcraft players of all shapes and sizes -- from the renowned to the relatively anonymous, the remarkable to the player next door. Tip us off to players you'd like to hear more about.
Safety is serious business on US Feathermoon (RP). The Guildwatch, Feathermoon's Alliance global defense network of guilds and individuals, strives seven days a week to protect Alliance towns and territories from Horde attack. Sound like something that's taken pretty seriously? That would be affirmative. Says Guildwatch leader Mixler of the group's some 400 members, "Most of the major players Alliance-side have been members at one point or another, all of the Horde PvPers have fought us, and I believe we're still the largest organization on Feathermoon."
While Feathermoon is not a PvP realm (it is one of the game's original realms, created before there were such things as RP-PvP realms), world PvP is in fact a significant part of the Feathermoon experience. The Guildwatch has played no small part in developing that legacy. 15 Minutes visited with GM Mixler for an inside look at the mechanics that keep the sprawling network working like a well-oiled machine.

There are many reasons why people don't answer the phone. I am among those who shun ringing phones, but maybe not for the reasons you might expect. I am not shy nor do see phone calls as an intrusion. It's just that I can't resist agreeing to a possibility only to regret having said yes later on. Yes and!…
At the height of my former career as a speech pathologist, I was on the on-call list for at least a dozen facilities at once. The sheer number of places I worked at gave me the variety I craved but it also tended to overextend me regularly. Moreover, although I had glorious flexibility in my schedule, it also meant that I had to field numerous phone calls asking me to work. Just about every time, I would say "yes."
ENFP personality types come out of the womb saying "yes." As dominant extraverted intuitives, we are game for just about any possibility, especially those that occur as a result of the energy in the moment. Yes and! is a phrase that is used in improv theatre. It means move the energy forward on that idea. No but kills the energy. To say that ENFPs (and our personality cousins the ENTP) are made for real life improv would be very accurate and fitting.
However, there is a downside to this adaptable, move the energy forward approach to life. A brilliant scheme might have a schedule conflict that was ignored as mere nuisance detail at the time. Or upon further consideration, you may realize the idea is incompatible with your values (In type-speak we call that Auxiliary Introverted Feeling). There were many times that I agreed to go to the hospital only to regret that I wasn't spending the day with my children. Or what if the idea was perfect at the moment but really perfect for someone else to execute instead of you?
Strategies. Long ago, I developed the strategy to let most phone calls ring through to voice mail so I could control the "Yes And!" energy and make more conscious decisions about what I would agree to do. I really hate disappointing people (one of my introverted feeling values) and I found this was a way to curb that possibility. I do find that if I have just a small buffer period between when I get a request and when I respond to it, I am more likely to make a good decision. At the same time, it isn't my only strategy. Email is another way that I tap into my judgment function. I have also learned to say, 'Let me get back to you.", although that requires a heavy dose of mindfulness, because I can quickly get caught up in the energy of the moment.
Everyone has specific blind spots associated with his/her personality type. Much of the time, we struggle with these challenges without really understanding what underpins them. Self-knowledge is a way to learn how to compensate for the areas that are likely to trip us up. Sometimes it's one of our strengths that can be overdone and actually become a liability. ENFPs/ENTPs, does this sound like you?

NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- Over the past few weeks, investor confidence in the United States has been pestered relentlessly by the macroeconomic drama facing regions like the European Union and China. These crises have taken their toll on various corners of the marketplace, but one area that has managed to hold up relatively well throughout these tumultuous weeks has been the consumer.
The discretionary corner of the consumer sector has seen particularly impressive action; over the most recent one-month period, the Consumer Discretionary Select Sector SPDR (XLY) has managed to maintain its footing in positive territory, even as most other SPDR sector funds linked to cyclical market segments have slid to losses.
Given this recent show of resilience and the earnings calendar for the week ahead, funds designed to target top U.S. consumer destinations will likely be some of the more interesting products to watch. I encourage investors to wait until the festivities subside; but in the event that the earnings action goes smoothly, some of these products may even prove to be attractive options for those looking for a welcomed respite from the market's global macroeconomic challenges.
4 Stocks That Are Real Sleepers in 2012 >>Consumer ETFs have been forced to prove themselves throughout the opening months of 2012. They have managed to carve out leadership roles in recent weeks, but since the start of the year, the mood toward XLY and the Consumer Staples Select Sector SPDR (XLP) has been under pressure. Whereas they stood up as beacons of stability during the choppy second half of 2011, a weak spate of economic data seen at the start of the year led some to question whether the ride was over for the consumer. These fears have proven to be short lived, however, and in recent weeks, the data have pointed to signs of strength. As a whole, last week's batch of economic news was lackluster at best. One clear point of optimism, however, came last Monday, when investors learned that retail sales in March jumped 0.8%. In addition to beating analysts' estimates, this marked the second consecutive month of increases. 3 Short-Squeeze Stocks for Earnings Season >> While the data have indicated a turnaround, high energy prices have remained a persistent challenge. Fortunately, even added pressure at the pump has failed to stem consumer buying habits or derail the sector. While worth monitoring, investors looking to the near term should avoid letting fuel prices dissuade them from venturing into this relatively strong market corner.

Every now & then dumb backward easily-fooled yokel Mine Host is telephoned by a certain (unnamed) sophisticated smart suave hip saavy Credit Card company.
This (unnamed) credit card company uses high pressure sales techniques and suggestive terminology to pull the wool over the eyes of dumb easily fooled backwooks Hick McGullible Yokelman Mine Host.
The calls always come from the (unnamed) credit card company's call centre in the Phillipines and go exactly like this:
"Hello Sirrrrr, this is Mariel from (unnamed) express business services, I see that remittances to you from (unnamed) express have been declining"
"Very observant of you Mariel, to notice that"
"Sirrr, Yourrrr business is declining..."
"No business is not declining, just that less business is put onto (unnamed) express credit cards"
"..... Hmmm.... Sirrrr... I am here to help you, that is what (unnamed) express is all about ([choke, splutter]) do you have signage outside yourrrrr business announcing that you accept (unnamed) express?"
"No signage outside"
"Ah, well Sirrrrr, if you had signage displayed outside yourrrr business you would not be missing out on all that (unnamed) express custom. Passing cardholders would see signage, and bring theirrr custom to yourrrr business"
"No, I get the customers regardless. This is a hotel, it is expected that we accept all major credit cards"
"..... I see Sirrrrr.... do you have signage at the place where they pay? So that people know they may use (unnamed) express"
"No, no, and no. Most of my customers are account customers, & pay direct into my bank when I send their monthly bill. Those who do pay by card on checkout usually ask which cards I accept, then riffle through a tight packed card folder & get out a card. They barely notice which card it is"
"..... Sirrrrr, are you saying that people are carrying more than one brand of credit card?"
(Where do they get 'em from?)
"Yes, as does just-about-every-person-on-this-planet. Usually if anybody is concerned about the card, they ask which has the lowest credit card surcharge"
(Now we're getting to the heart of the matter)
"Sirrrr, do you charge the same fee for (unnamed) express as you do for other cards, say Master or Visa?"
"No I do not charge the same fee, I charge double for your card, because your fee is double"
"...... (pause)...... Sirrrr, if you reduce your surcharge for (unnamed) express to the same rate as other cards, there would be more payments made via (unnamed) express."
"Undoubtedly, but I'm not going to reduce my surcharge for your card, and I get the payments anyway, just via a more palatable card"
"....Sirrrr... you would increase your business through (unnamed) express if you did reduce to the same rate as other cards"
"Me reducing the fee is easily done, when you reduce your fee, I'll reduce mine. Simple"
(This technique must work on some dupes, as they really push it hard)
.... (Dialogue now repeats the above 4 lines for several minutes).....
So continues life behind the front desk.

Big Changes at Cracker Barrel Not What You'd Think
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- Change is in the air at Cracker Barrel (CBRL), casual dining's answer to country cooking in a chain format, and it's not because activist investor Sardar Biglari, whose company effectively controls nearly 20% of Cracker Barrel shares, was successful at having his name and fellow Biglari Holdings (BH) nominee Phil Cooley added to the company's slate of board of director nominees for 2013.
In fact, not surprisingly, yesterday, Cracker Barrel's nominating committee unanimously voted to keep the duo off of the slate. Now it's up to Biglari to determine whether he will instead wage yet another expensive proxy fight to gain seats on the board. There's never a dull moment in the Biglari Holdings-Cracker Barrel feud.
The real change I am referring to occurred yesterday, as the restaurant chain rolled out its answer to the growing trend among restaurants of offering a line of healthier menu items. Long known for its focus on beef and chicken dishes with gravies, biscuits, corn muffins, and other higher calorie items, the new Wholesome Fixin's menu is an attempt to draw in more health-conscious customers.
The new menu features several new items for breakfast, lunch and dinner, with lower calorie counts than Cracker Barrel's traditional offerings. New breakfast items, all below 550 calories, include dishes with fresh fruit, egg beaters, turkey bacon, and low carbohydrate bread. It's a long way from sausage, bacon, sawmill gravy, biscuits, pancakes, and hashbrown casserole that Cracker Barrel is known for.The new lunch and dinner menu features six new items, all with less than 600 calories, and 13 lighter than normal side dishes. You can have the new pecan crusted catfixh, buttermilk oven fried chicken breast, pepper grilled sirloin, spice rubbed pork chop, grilled chicken 'n' fresh vegetable salad or wholesome vegetable plate, and perhaps walk away feeling less guilty, and full, than if you'd consumed the roast beef dinner, with three sides plus corn muffins and buttermilk biscuits. This is an interesting move by Cracker Barrel, and should draw in some new faces. I am often shut out by the female members of my family from going to our local Cracker Barrel because they equate it with heavy foods, high in calories. I'm anxious to have them try some of the items on this new menu in order to see if it will change their perceptions. The one thing Cracker Barrel does not want to do, in my opinion, is chase away its typical patrons, those that eat there because of the southern influenced, higher calorie count dishes. It's comfort food at its best (at least from a chain restaurant), and it would not be wise to deviate too far from that. To that end, it appears that the company is handling its new menu in the right way, by keeping the rest of the menu intact, and trying to reach a broader audience with the lighter items. As for Sardar Biglari, I wonder what his take is on the new menu? Probably not positive, I'm guessing. Now we'll wait to see if he wages another proxy fight.

The Education Trust re-releases College Results with new data
Printer-friendly version
Publication date:May 22 2008 (All day)
College Results Online: www.collegeresults.org
Washington — On campuses large and small in every part of America, proud parents are snapping photos as their sons and daughters receive college diplomas. These freshly minted degrees not only fulfill families' dreams but also hold the promise of a more productive and prosperous future for all of us.
The dreams of parents for their children and the collective well-being of America have always been tightly bound together. Generations of American parents worked hard to make sure their children had better educational opportunities than they did. And beginning with President Lyndon Johnson, our nation's leaders have taken bold actions aimed at eliminating financial barriers and other obstacles that prevent hard-working students from attending the college of their choice.
Together, those aspirations and actions made us the most educated people on earth, and that status fueled the "American century."
But even as our nation welcomes a new crop of college graduates, clear and troubling signals abound:
- Today's young people are NOT better educated than their parents, a sad position we hold in common with only one other developed country, and
- After years of progress, the black-white gap in college degrees is no smaller now than it was a generation ago, and the gap between Latinos and whites actually has widened.
These chilling facts are, in part, the result of what happens—and does not happen—on our campuses. For too many students, what does not happen is graduation: Only about four in 10 of those who start full time in four-year colleges earn a degree in four years, a number that rises to about six in 10 within six years.
But those are averages. Beneath the overall national data on college completion lie vastly different stories on individual campuses. Some of these stories point the way toward greater success for all of our young people, and some offer cautionary tales of both treasure and talent squandered.
In updating College Results Online (www.collegeresults.org) with the most recent federal data, The Education Trust provides a window on these stories. This unique Web-based tool allows students, families, policymakers and the public to view the six-year college graduation rates—broken down by race, ethnicity, and gender—for virtually every institution in the country that grants bachelor's degrees and to compare the rates with those of similar schools.
Too often, it's assumed that graduation rates are determined solely by the demographic characteristics or SAT scores of the student body. The data found on College Results Online tell a different story. It turns out that campuses with very similar missions serving very similar student populations often have very different graduation rates.
San Diego State University and the University of Houston, for example, enroll similar percentages of Latino students with similar average SAT scores. In 2002, the two schools also graduated those students at about the same rate (34.8 percent at Houston and 31.4 percent at San Diego State). Both improved their Latino graduation rates over the next four years without changing their admission standards, but San Diego State's gains far surpassed Houston's: SDSU graduated 54 percent of its Latino students in 2006, compared with Houston's 41.1 percent.
The College Results Online data reveal other stories of improvement, like that of the University of Alabama. Alabama's graduation rate for black students grew from 53 percent in 2002 to 65 percent in 2006—the same year in which similar institutions graduated only 56.6 percent of their black students. Alabama didn't change its admission standards. It didn't change its graduation standards. And it didn't reduce the percentage of black students it enrolled. Instead, the university redesigned its introductory mathematics course to provide greater support to freshmen with limited mathematics skills.
University leaders believe that this new approach to mathematics instruction contributed to the success of these students and to that of the school. In fact, the success rate of black students, who in fall 1999 were passing at a meager rate of 35 percent, spiked to over 63 percent by 2002.
This transformation has helped eliminate the graduation gap between black and white students on that campus. According to College Results Online, Alabama's 2006 graduation rates show that 65 percent of black students graduated within six years, while the figure for white students was 62.7 percent.
Understanding what institutions like San Diego State and Alabama are doing is a critical step to ensuring greater success for students, for colleges, and for our country. But we need to hear more of these stories, particularly about colleges that are successful—or less than successful—at helping low-income students graduate. College Results Online presents much important data collected by the federal government, but a missing piece of the puzzle is information on graduation rates for Pell Grant recipients, which postsecondary institutions currently are not required to report. Now that Congress is revising the Higher Education Act, lawmakers must ensure that this crucial information is publicly reported and available.
To no small degree, our success as a nation depends on our colleges and universities preparing more young people of all backgrounds for challenges beyond their parents' imaginations, because meeting these challenges is simply too great a responsibility to place on the shoulders of a narrow swath of fortunate students.
If we are to achieve the goal of a better-educated populace and fulfill the dreams of millions of parents, we must identify, study, and replicate postsecondary success. College Results Online is a critical tool in that process.

The Open Door
Back to School?
by Arthur E. Schwartz, deputy executive director and general counsel, National Society of Professional Engineers
Today, there are growing questions within the engineering profession about the manner in which engineers are educated, and whether or not the current academic standards are adequate. Will they provide future engineers with the basic knowledge necessary to meet growing employer, client, and public demands? A profession that does not look for opportunities to evolve and change in concert with future demands will place itself in jeopardy, and will see its value to clients, employers, and the public eroded.
For any learned profession, there is a required knowledge base necessary to enter into the practice at the professional level. The key components of this knowledge base include technical breadth, professional practice breadth, and technical depth. While each engineering discipline (e.g., mechanical, electrical, chemical) may require different skill sets, there are some common and essential needs among these disciplines. In addition to basic math and science, these include problem recognition and solution, design, sustainability, risk, project management, communications, and public policy. They also require business and public administration, globalization, leadership, teamwork, lifelong learning, ethics, and professional responsibility.
How has the engineering profession fared in incorporating these essential needs into the engineering knowledge base? The 2005 National Academy of Engineering report, "Educating the Engineer of 2020," clearly states: "It is evident that the exploding body of science and engineering knowledge cannot be accommodated within the context of the traditional four-year bachelor's degree." Shockingly, this and other recent studies have demonstrated that since the early years of the 20th century, the number of credit hours required to graduate with a four-year degree in engineering has dwindled from more than 150 credit hours to fewer than 130 credit hours. This drop is as the breadth and depth of engineering practice has become more complex and the demands of engineering practice have increased. While professions such as medicine, law, architecture, pharmacy, and accounting have dramatically increased the years of education required to enter professional practice, the engineering profession—once a leader in this area—is now at the bottom of the list.
For these and other reasons, professional and technical societies, including the National Society of Professional Engineers (NSPE), have been encouraging changes in policies and laws to require additional engineering education for professional practice in the future. For several years, it has been NSPE's position that with the rapid expansion of knowledge required to practice, additional engineering education beyond the four-year ABET/EAC degree should be required in order to meet the formal academic preparation necessary for the professional practice of engineering in the 21st century.
In September 2006, the National Council of Examiners for Engineering and Surveying (NCEES) amended its Model Law to require an engineer intern with a bachelor's degree to obtain an additional 30 credit hours of acceptable upper-level undergraduate or graduate-level course work from approved course providers as part of the process for obtaining their professional engineering license. Changes have also been incorporated to address individuals with a master's or doctorate degree in engineering. Although the NCEES Model Law is only a guide and has no force of law, it has significant influence over U.S. state legislators considering proposed changes to state licensure laws.
In reality, these changes will have no impact on practicing engineers or even the majority of those engineering students currently "in the pipeline" since the earliest implementation date for the changes would be in 2015. And that date is considered somewhat optimistic by many observers. However, it is something that currently practicing engineers need to consider. And for the engineering profession to continue to be sustainable and thrive in the decades ahead, it is essential that those entering the profession possess the necessary technical and professional skills that will allow engineers to continue to lead. The alternative is something that the engineering profession and the public can ill afford.

KNOXVILLE, Tenn. (WVLT) - While the last few days have been all about getting. Getting more, getting it first, getting it cheaper. Tuesday is a day for giving.
The idea is to donate to non-profits and organizations with the same effort folks have put in to buying over the weekend.
Simon Malls, owner of the West Town Mall and Knoxville Center is asking you to stop by and give money to the American Red Cross or the Simon Youth Foundation.
All the money raised will go to aid the efforts of the American Red Cross while dollars raised for the Simon Youth Foundation will stay right here in Knoxville.
The Knoxville Ronald McDonald House is also hoping you remember them this Giving Tuesday.
It's a home away from home; a place for families with critically ill children to stay while their child or children are being treated. It's only five dollars a night for the families so donations are needed from the community to keep the house running.
If you're unable to donate money; remember you can always donate your time. The Ronald McDonald House is always looking for volunteers.

So, what does creativity mean to you?
Let us know in the comments below.
SWEET. Why do you think we as humans create? And why is creation important?
Well golly. That's a big one. Everything on the earth that isn't there naturally was 'created'–humans invent things when they see some need, whether that's tools or shelter or art or whatever–it all starts from an idea and a new perspective on what already exists. Thinking in terms of art, creation is what makes us human and not robots–I mean if every person fell into the same routine and never presented new ideas, what would be the point in living? In my opinion all the other human-constructed stuff that is considered essential, like money and government and knowledge, is to allow humans to think creatively rather than scraping by to survive. Art is our way of figuring out how we feel and think and then asking others to join the conversation–it's a world without predetermined black and white answers or right and wrong. It can stand for a particular moment in time; it's the only real form of immortality. It can make you know you're not alone because you look at something someone else created and realize you share thoughts and feelings with someone else.
On another note…the video also asks something along the lines of, "What fuels your creativity?" I like that a lot of people talk about other humans (particularly their kids)–like the very idea of someone can make you want to think about things in new ways and present those to the world. People also mention things like failure and time limits, and coffee and wine. Thoughts? What makes you feel creative?
I think people can absolutely fuel your creativity. I know a number of people are responsible for fueling my own creativity. I've been personally inspired by great teachers in the past who have managed to engage me while simultaneously making me passionate about a subject which is a very challenging feat to accomplish and one worthy of recognition. Historical figures such as Anne Frank have touched me and motivated me to write. Fictional characters I've found in books are responsible for several of my interests and views. And not to get all sappy, but just thinking about my mother gets my creative juices flowing and makes me want to get out there and CREATE, in no way in particular.
AWESOME awesome yes. When I think about it, I find inspiration in so many things–friends who think about art very differently from me, teachers who have infectious passion for whatever they do, music, nature, visual art, cities, things that make me angry or upset in the world that make me want to change it. As a maker of theater I draw a lot of inspiration from seeing other shows that draw me in with something I already love (like a style of music or kind of humor) and then present it in surprising what-is-this-amazingness ways. I saw a show last year, PigPen Theatre Co.'s "The Old Man and the Old Moon," that hit me in a million ways–the music, the epic story, the stunningly creative use of puppetry, the fact that I saw it with some of my closest friends and my sister. It's the kind of thing where I had that experience, and now whenever I think about it/those artists I think I WANT TO MAKE AWESOME STUFF LIKE THAAAAT feels feels all the feels. So yes all the inspirations all the times. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=04YWdtHrtIE
When you think of creativity, what are the first things that come to mind?
BRINGING NEW THINGS TO LIFE! Or at least, reassembling old things to present them differently. 'Cause I don't think there's really such a thing as making something from nothing, since every new thing was inspired by preexisting things.
I like that you say "bringing new things to life" and presenting things "differently," because I think one of the main components of creativity is a certain open-minded way of thinking that enables you to get your point across in an inventive way. That's why I associate being creative with being unique, because I think that creative people are able to approach things outside the box.
Right…I dig the idea of uniqueness going with creativity, though maybe technically speaking, creativity doesn't REQUIRE uniqueness. Someone with repetitive ideas can still produce thoughts/responses/etc. And in any case, if you take someone from one context where they're the norm and stick them with a different group where they're different, whammo that person is unique. As in I don't think there's a single definition of 'unique,' it depends on how something or someone relates to the surrounding things or people.
Good point. I agree that it is all up for interpretation and that there are varying definitions of "unique" and "different". It's interesting that when I think of creativity I can't help but think of it in context with what I view as "unique" and "different" people. Because in reality, EVERYONE is distinct in their own way. Therefore, EVERYONE creates.

Clarence Page: Are women in politics more honest?
What, I wonder, explains the gender gap in political corruption?
Women make up almost 20 percent of the current Congress, according to the Center for American Women and Politics, but they don't come anywhere near that proportion of Congress' scandals.
Will it take breaking news of a female lawmaker doing something truly stupid like former Rep. Anthony Weiner's tweeting self-portraits of his private parts to strangers to know we are beginning to achieve gender equality?
This thought comes to mind with news of a new study by political science researchers at Rice University and titled " 'Fairer Sex' or Purity Myth? Corruption, Gender and Institutional Context."
Its analysis of data from countries around the world finds the gender gap in corruption to be an international phenomenon, interestingly in democratic countries more than in dictatorships and other autocracies.
In democratic countries with generally low levels of corruption, write Rice University's Justin Esarey and Gina Chirillo, the study's authors, women are less likely to be corrupt and less likely to tolerate corruption than their male counterparts.
Recruiting more women into politics in deeply corrupt countries probably would not decrease corruption, Esarey told Science Daily; but in less corrupt countries, such recruitment might work wonders in keeping sticky fingers out of the public till.
Why? Hanna Rosin, author of "The End of Men and the Rise of Women," recently compared the pressures on women in high positions to those of Jackie Robinson, the first black player to break Major League Baseball's color line. Warned by his team's owner to set a good example, he wasn't about to gamble on any behavior that wasn't worth it.
Small wonder, then, that during October's budget stalemate and government shutdown, Debbie Wasserman Schultz, head of the Democratic National Committee, suggested that the whole mess might go away if the guys sat back and let women settle it.
"If we put all the women, Republican and Democrat, in the House together," the Florida congresswoman told MSNBC's "Morning Joe," "the consensus from all of us is that we would get this done in a few hours,"
When fellow guest Rep. Peter King, a New York Republican, jokingly asked whether the group might include the Sarah Palin, Wasserman Schultz did not waver.
"I would argue that even if Sarah Palin were in the room, ... we could find a way to get to yes," she replied, "because that's usually women's goal,"
That's not an outlandish thought, considering the best-sellers as varied as Deborah Tannen's "You Just Don't Understand: Women and Men in Conversation" and John Gray's "Men Are from Mars, Women Are from Venus" that have been written about such gender differences. Men want to get the last word, experts say; women want to get a mutual agreement.
Yet I don't want to over-generalize. The very notion that women are geared toward reason, compromise and agreement can be the kiss of death in today's polarized Washington. Nevertheless, having been denied access to power for so long, numerous women legislators have worked diligently to make up for lost time.
"Gender isn't an absolute predictor of political behavior," cautioned Rebecca Sive, a Chicago public affairs strategist and author of "Every Day Is Election Day: A Woman's Guide to Winning Any Office, from the PTA to the White House."
"Women win office the same way men do," she told me in an email exchange. "They get more votes than the other guy. Once there, they bring a different perspective to the decision-making table."
As examples, Sive mentioned the Paycheck Fairness Act that Sen. Barbara Mikulski, D-Md., and Rep. Rosa DeLauro, D-Conn., introduced this year and the Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand's, D-N.Y., recent bill to improve sexual assault prosecutions in the military.
Republican women are stepping up, too. After House Republicans forced a partial government shutdown in a failed attempt to repeal President Barack Obama's health care plan, Sen. Kelly Ayotte, a New Hampshire Republican, significantly broke ranks to suggest a practical compromise: a "pause" in Obamacare's implementation so a bipartisan group could try to fix its problems.
Nice tries like that may help explain why women have been falling behind the guys in corruption scandals. They're too busy trying to get things done.

a very fast-paced, action-packed thriller/love story all wrapped up in one. Love the Sea Haven series. Cant wait for the next one
In Water Bound, Judith was one of the three sisters who could see auras, and she was one of the two that freaked at Lev's aura. Now Lev's big brother has come to Sea Haven, tracking a stolen microchip/criminal mastermind's ex-girlfriend(officially), and checking on his little brother(unofficially). Added to his mission is the fact that the "students" of the "training schools/ophanages" are being targeted for elimination. The creator's psycho-dog is on Lev and Stefan's trail, and the two have to team up with their sister-in-laws to stay safe. The next book wil probably involve Gavril, since Stefan wants to get his wounded big brother to safety. A future mystery is the fact that Blythe was able to identify the ghost priest that perfomed a wedding ceremony and the fact that after meeting two Prakenskii's, Blythe keeps rubbing the palm of her left hand.
