A new report from TerraChoice Environmental Marketing finds that only 2 percent of products that profess some eco-cred on their labels are, in fact, green. This goes to prove something that most consumers already suspected: that just because a company calls itself green and clean, it's not necessarily green and clean. The same is true, in a much broader sense, about all kinds of companies. What makes a company "good?" How can we define and designate a social enterprise – a triple bottom line company – such that it achieves legitimacy and legal protections as such an entity? Jay Coen Gilbert, Bart Houlahan, and Andrew Kassoy co-founded B Lab, say they've developed a way: The B Corporation certification.
This is the pledge that all B Corporations take:
"We envision a new sector of the economy which harnesses the power of private enterprise to create public benefit.
This sector is comprised of a new type of corporation the B Corporation
which is purpose-driven and creates benefit for all stakeholders, not just shareholders.
As members of this emerging sector and as entrepreneurs and investors in B Corporations,
We hold these truths to be self-evident:
– That we must be the change we seek in the world.
– That all business ought to be conducted as if people and place mattered.
– That, through their products, practices, and profits, businesses should aspire to do no harm and benefit all.
– To do so requires that we act with the understanding that we are each dependent upon another
and thus responsible for each other and future generations."

Recession Doesn't Slow Water Problems, Investment
Water problems are mounting. You see the evidence everyday.
Droughts in California. Disappearing aquifers in the Southeast. Tightened water restrictions in Perth.
The problem is elementary, yet most are too stubborn to comprehend it, or to deal with it.
We only have a certain amount of water but we constantly require more of it. Increasing population and the industrialization of the second and third world are the main culprits, but pollution and misuse of done their share of damage.
It's all very Malthusian.
And the recession is making it worse. Delayed investment in water infrastructure due to tightened credit and lending means sever water problems could surface sooner than once thought.Click to continue reading »
Obama's bullish on high-speed rail
Click to continue reading »
In an effort to relieve traffic congestion, save energy, and clean up the air, President Obama has called for the swift development of a high-speed passenger rail system.
The President said that this was not some fanciful, pie-in-the-sky vision of the future, and that the country could not afford not to invest in a major upgrade to rail travel. Certainly we couldn't agree more. But thanks to decades of complacency, this, like many other desperately needed projects, will not be easy.
Indonique Tea & Chai Restarts After Katrina Washout
Tea is the second most consumed drink in the world, second only to water. Through the ages, mythic powers have been attributed to regular tea consumption. Resiliency must be near the top of that list for New Orleans native George Constance. Hurricane Katrina washed out Constance's Indonique Tea & Chai business, but undaunted, the socially-minded entrepreneur relocated north to rebuild his business in Connecticut.
Indonique sells over 95 different teas and accoutrements directly to consumers via their website, directly to retail shops, and now to wholesalers which is the fastest growing area of their business. Their specialty Chai was named "best around" in New Orleans' Gambit Magazine, and Constance is hoping to achieve the same recognition as he restarts in Connecticut. He's also retained the strong social mission at the core of his business. Indonique donates 10% of every sale to the communities where their tea is picked through their Program T42.

Hold the Carbon: Reusable Bags for a Renewable World
Click to continue reading »
Despite the fact that there are more conscious consumers than ever before, there are still a majority of retailers who do not offer reusable bags. Nor do they realize the significant environmental impact of their packaging. According to said Dianne Sherman, Director of the International Coastal Cleanup. "Trash travels. Even if we live thousands of miles inland, our actions have a profound effect on the ocean. A bag can blow from a picnic table, wash down a storm drain into a river and wind up harming or killing a sea turtles, birds or other marine life. Trash is one of the most pervasive — but solvable — pollution problems facing our oceans and waterways."
Recognizing the need — and opportunities — for companies to fully embrace environmentally responsible packaging, Jason Haber and his brother launched Hold the Carbon, an innovative reusable goods company that debuted with the X Bag, a 100% PET bag that is portable, durable and stylish. Their goal is two-fold — a) help companies eliminate a cost center while positively impacting the environment (and their bottom line) and b) offer consumers an affordable and multi-purpose way to do their part in saving our planet (and still be fashionable doing it). Currently, their signature X Bag is only available for resale at select retail stores; although plans are in the works to open up online sales of the X Bag and future products as well. But the X Bag is only one of many initiatives that the Haber brothers are spearheading, and they have big plans to revolutionize the reusable market in ways that make change part of an everyday lifestyle, not just a point of sale decision.
Introducing the T25
I first learned about Gordon Murray, a former Formula 1 designer, about eight months ago, when his team was half-way through the 24-month developmental cycle for his novel T25 city car – a cute little bug that could spark a clean transportation revolution. It's reportedly smaller than a Smart Fortwo.
Reports last month suggested that the T25 design and engineering work has already been completed, well ahead of schedule, and they're ready to build the prototype.
The T25 will be small, but safe; it will boast a lightweight chassis – built from carbon fiber composites – mated to a three-cylinder engine. These two factors combine to create a car that is expected to cut CO2 emissions in half when compared most European cars – which are already far more efficient than their North American cousins. In other words, the T25 should do better than 85 mpg. Click to continue reading »
Greenwashing? Tropicana Teams Up With Cool Earth to Save the Rainforest
Click to continue reading »
I like to keep things simple when it comes to greenwashing. I reserve this term for cases of blatant misrepresentation, lack of commitment, conflict in practice, and inconsistency. After a CSR initiative passes the greenwashing test, I examine its magnitude: what is the impact and how can it be improved? I'll be examining Tropicana's new "Resscue the Rainforest" campaign by first looking for signs of greenwashing before weighing its social impact.
"Rescue the Rainforest" Campaign
Tropicana, a subsidiary of PepsiCo, Inc., has teamed up with Cool Earth, an international non-governmental organization, to launch the "Rescue the Rainforest," cause marketing campaign to protect endangered rainforests. This campaign runs through 2009 and with a goal of protecting 15,000 acres in addition to the 5,000 acres that Tropicana is already protecting.
Specially marked Tropicana products, such as Tropicana Pure Premium® and Trop50™, will carry an 11-digit code which, when entered on Tropicanarainforest.com/, will protect 100 sq feet of rainforest land for a minimum of three years. There is no limit to how many codes someone can submit and people can enter as individuals or teams. They will also be able to visually track their contribution and watch it grow with a map tool driven by Google Maps. To encourage a little friendly competition, the site prominently displays a leaderboard which displays the top five teams and individuals by square footage.
The site has also recently launched a fun flash-based game called Rainforest Rescue where you can lob oranges at loggers. Steve Puma of 3p covers it here.
Dogpatch Biofuels: Cooking Up More than Fry Oil
As conscientious start-ups go, sometimes, efforts at the local level can have a far greater impact than a monolithic high tech project due to the local goodwill they create. Such is the case with Dogpatch Biofuels.
Dogpatch is the first B100 biodiesel filling station in San Francisco. Despite having only been in business since December, they're well on their way to their goal of selling 1000 gallons per day. Dogpatch has teamed up with other biofuels filling stations in the Bay Area to get volume discounts on fuel made from used cooking oil, as well as to share marketing expenditures. Their innovative approach to collaborative marketing saves costs and increases impact: a driver with a diesel car will likely have to fill in other cities, and any new drivers who come into the community will be a boon for every station owner.

PG&E CEO Stresses Need for Bold Action, Collaboration
At this week's Ceres Conference, Peter Darbee, Chair, CEO and President of PG&E Corporation delivered an inspiring speech. As Darbee sees it, the key to a sustainable future is not technology, but rather working together as a functional, collaborative team, instead of the dysfunctional team that we often are. "We say we want renewable power," but when push comes to shove people, in Nantucket for example, say "not in my backyard."
Sustainability must be our number one priority, which will involve sacrifices and tradeoffs on all fronts. "We are faced with the greatest challenge mankind has ever faced," Darbee explained. "We need to work together as a US team and as a world team with vision and values to overcome these great challenges for mankind."
PG&E has sometimes received mixed reviews, but I was encouraged to hear its leader's bleeding edge sustainable views. "People say [renewable energy] is too expensive, but they don't have a clue how expensive it will be if we don't deal with the problem…I know it's exponentially cheaper to deal with fixing the problem now rather than waiting. That is crazy and reflects that people aren't very thoughtful."
Darbee described his vision of a bold future:
1. Plug in electric vehicles will be charged at night, and provide energy to the grid during the day
2. A home grid network will allow appliances to interact with each other. A computer will monitor energy prices and control energy accordingly, shifting demand to night when energy is inexpensive
3. Dynamic energy pricing will incentivize energy use when it's in lower demand
4. Air conditioners will be smart so that they are off during the day and turn on just before you arrive at home
5. The key will be integrating these technologies – each one can save us a lot, but integration will create the real opportunity
Will China Lead the Electric Car Revolution?
Click to continue reading »
At the bottom of a recent New York Times article about China's burgeoning electric vehicle market, I found quite a few hostile comments. Most seemed to be nationalistic in tone, and questioned why we should rely on China for electric cars when GM, Chrysler and Ford are all developing their own electric cars right now.
GM, Chrysler and Ford are all expected to have new electric vehicles in the showrooms within the next 2 to 3 years. And the truth is, if they can keep costs under control, I'm optimistic that demand will be strong. But it is also understandable that some folks are threatened by a potential Chinese electric fleet.
Look at it like this…
mCharity: Mobile Consciousness Through Text-Based Giving
In the midst of of what many have termed "Philanthropy 2.0," where nonprofits are harnessing the power of the web to generate awareness and support for their causes, a UK-based mobile services company called mCharity launched to help charities raise new donation revenue, market to potential donors and communicate with existing supporters and fundraisers using mobile technology. With consumers more wired via mobile devices than ever before, and the ability to geo-target and pinpoint consumer touch points using location-based services, it seems a natural segue for charities to go mobile in reaching and retaining new supporters.
Currently, mCharity offers services that integrate seamlessly with nonprofits' existing communications plans, allowing them to tie in promotions for text giving along with their normal print, radio and TV campaigns. The process works much like current text-based services where the donor sends a text message to a special SMS short code number, the donation is included on the user's phone bill and mCharity collects the money from mobile companies, which it hands over to the charity. As the technology matures, services like this may also aid linking consumers with local volunteer opportunities or facilitating donations through mobile purchasing at popular online retailers. But until then, mCharity, the first dedicated mobile service provider and aggregator 100% focused on enabling UK charities to generate new revenue, is transforming text-based giving, and helping to create a marketplace where change is only a few thumbstrokes away.

Temple Looks to Put its Dance Floor to Work
On a packed night, the action on the dance floor at San Francisco nightclub Temple gets pretty hot. And while that might help make this a popular destination for the city's clubbers, it bugs the club's director of sustainability, Mike Zuckerman. After all, the energy the dancers exude is wasted. But that will soon change, because the club is moving forward with its long-planned installation of a new dance floor, complete with piezoelectric energy harvesters that will convert all that bumping and grinding into green energy. It should be plugged in and running on human sweat by September.
Zuckerman says that Temple won't be the first sustainable nightclub to use its dance floor for on-site power generation – there's one at Club Watt in Rotterdam and there's another in London, at a club called Surya.
But the dance floor is something Paul Hemming, the club's founder, have been trying to make a reality for many years. It's one of the elements of Temple – and adjacent businesses Prana restaurant and Zen City Records, which collectively form the Zen Compound – that Hemming first sketched out in a notebook while conceptualizing the business in 2004.
North Dakota's State-Owned Bank Good for Business
Click to continue reading »
"California's the place you ought to be," according to the theme song of the television show The Beverly Hillbillies. Perhaps now North Dakota is the place to be located if you want to start a business. It is one of four states that is not insolvent, and has the only state-owned bank in the U.S., the Bank of North Dakota (BND). Both North Dakota and BND have managed to insulate themselves from the present economic crisis. According to Creighton University's Economic Outlook, the recession did not begin in North Dakota until January. In fact, North Dakota gained 3,000 jobs between the beginning of the national recession and January.
Created in 1919 by the state legislature, BND opened with $2 million capital and today operates with over $160 million of capital. Last month, Mother Jones featured an interview with the president of BND, Eric Hardmeyer. The article pointed out that BND "earned a record profit last year even as private-sector sector corollaries lost billions," and has over $4 billion under management.
Can the Recycling System Be Upgraded?
Click to continue reading »
Are things like Tetrapaks and Dannon/Stonyfield yogurt recyclable today? Yes and no. Here's why: There are a few recycling centers that accept Tetrapaks and yogurt cups, but they are the exception. Most recycling centers do not except these materials, and those that do are so few and far between that only a small percentage of the American population can participate.
This creates a few problems: First, companies like Tetrapak and Dannon cannot state on their package that their product is recyclable since there is only service in a few communities. Second, a company like Tetrapak, that has invested millions to build Tetrapak recycling centers, cannot get any credit for their investment and continue to get bad PR for producing a non-recyclable product.
The reason this issue exists is that today's recycling system is a reflection of the lowest common denominator in recycling. While many products are recyclable, the products that actually do get recycled are those for which the process exists in the majority of American recycling centers, and only a small percentage of recyclable plastics are recyclable nationally. There is very little incentive for local independent recycling centers to build the added capability since unless a solution is implemented nationally, the solution doesn't get national marketing and people don't get education about the opportunity for a new waste stream (or form of plastic or packaging) to be recycled.

Perfect place for family vacation
This is a beautiful, nicely equipped unit with an incredible ocean view and beach. It was the perfect place for our family to vacation together. We loved it and will definitely stay here again. The owners were very accommodating and our grandchildren loved the pool!
Very Nice Condo with a great view and location
This condo was a perfect place for our short visit to the beach. The balcony is huge and the view is wonderful. The condo had 2 hidden bunks for kids which I don't recall reading about in the description. It was clean, nicely decorated and comfortable. We enjoyed our stay and recommend this condo should you be seeking a good place to stay in a great location in Panama City Beach, FL. - Anna P.
Would stay here again!
The whole family enjoyed themselves! The condo was as represented in pictures. It was clean and well appointed. Owners were friiendly and easy to work with.

The Railway Association of Canada has applauded the Transportation Safety Board of Canada's request for installation of in-cab video cameras and voice recorders in all mainline controlling locomotives in the nation.
"Our railway members are anxious to install these devices in locomotives. We have been on record for some time now with Transport Canada and the TSB, having informed both organizations that we wish to use video and audio as part of our safety management systems to prevent accidents," said Michael Bourque, president and CEO of Railway Association of Canada, in a written statement.
"We note that the TSB confirms that, under current legislation, it would be illegal for railway companies to use recordings as part of a safety management system to prevent accidents. This must change," Bourque concluded.
The Canadian Transportation Accident Investigation and Safety Board Act limits the use of voice and video recordings to TSB staff in post-event investigations.

I know we have many survivors of VeCo's Moonberry/Moonglow wars here on ED.
As part of a Dragonmaw Vanguard guild joke, my wife created some Moonberry Juice artwork, and submitted it to Threadless.com (who makes t-shirts).
Threadless liked it so much, they've put the t-shirt design up for a vote! If enough people score it a 5.0, they'll turn it into a t-shirt.
So, if you've ever wanted to show your support in the Moonberry/Moonglow Wars, now's your chance!

It's directed at anyone with tastebuds.
Or anyone who can appreciate fine artwork, but yes, it started from VeCo.
Thanks for the votes!
Why is this?
This is amazing artwork! :p
I myself do a lot of photography and graphic design. I was chosen to create the shirts for my club at school (International Club) and now I see students buy them and wear them all the time.
It's nice to see others enjoy the same thing. I know I enjoy doing what I do. It's nice when teachers pull me out of class to make their graphs, club shirts, posters, etc etc.
Right now the teacher in charge and my own principal want me to take my entire schools AYP numbers and put them into a simple, organized, and 'cool looking' bar graph showing the states average, my schools goal, and where our classes go to rather they be in the negative or the positive.
It's simple, but still takes time to make it look good.
But anyways, love the design. It's cool to see somebody do what they love. I'm sure she don't need an 18 year old telling her this, but never give up on what you love to do! :D
Ooh very pretty..

Get a new smartphone every year for $0 with Rogers Next
Want to get your hands on one of the newest smartphones even faster? Coming soon, Rogers Next subscribers will get the latest smartphones for $0 down every year, with no early upgrade or connection fees.
The $0 down offer applies to smartphones worth up to $250 based on subsidized two-year term pricing. Over 95 per cent of phones we offer are priced below $250. However, if the two-year term price exceeds $250, you simply pay the difference in the hardware price. As an example, if you wanted to upgrade to a device that costs $329.99 on a two-year term today, you would pay an additional $79.99 at the time of upgrade with Rogers Next.
Who's this program for?
Do you want hassle-free smartphone upgrades without the lump sum payments against your FLEXtab balance and hardware price? Rogers Next helps ensure you get the most out of the latest and greatest technology by giving you access to the coolest new smartphones every year for $0 down without any early upgrade or connection fees.
How does Rogers Next work?
- When you upgrade to a new device or join Rogers as a new customer, you have the option to subscribe to the Rogers Next program for a monthly fee of $24.99. Or choose the $29.99 option which includes Rogers Device Protection Premium. This service, which helps protect you from device damage (and loss and theft in some provinces), retails for up to $11.99 per month;
- After 12 months, you trade in your current device in good working order for a new smartphone of your choice that has a subsidized price of up to $250;
- You pay $0 down for the new device on select new two-year plans, and your remaining FLEXtab balance and connection fees are waived;
- You then have the option to continue your enrolment in Rogers Next to get another new device in 12 months.
How does this compare to a two-year term plan?
Let's break it down for you. This chart compares a Rogers Next subscriber upgrading after 12 months of enrolment versus a customer choosing to upgrade early (after one year of a two-year term).
Both are upgrading to one of the latest devices valued at $250 based on a two-year term subsidy.
Keep in mind, Rogers Next subscribers must trade in their device at the time of their upgrade. If you upgrade early on a two year-term without Rogers Next you get to keep your device. You can then choose to trade it in using Rogers Trade-Up, hand it down to a family member or friend – it's up to you.
What if I'm not ready to upgrade after 12 months?
You can choose to upgrade any time after 12 consecutive months of subscribing to Rogers Next as long as you continue to participate in the program. We encourage you to upgrade at time of eligibility to get the most value out of the program.
Can I choose any phone I want for my new device?
Rogers Next subscribers can choose any smartphone worth up to $250 based on two-year term subsidized pricing. The vast majority of our phones are under $250 when activated on a two-year term. This includes some of our most popular devices such as the iPhone 5s 16GB and Samsung Galaxy S4. If the two-year term subsidized price for your chosen device exceeds $250, you can simply pay the difference in the hardware price. As an example, if you wanted to upgrade to an iPhone 5s 32GB today, you would pay an additional $79.99.
Are there any fees when I upgrade?
There are no additional fees when you upgrade to a smartphone up to $250 based on two-year term pricing after 12 months of consecutive enrolment in Rogers Next. Rogers will waive any early upgrade and connection fees.
When is the program going to be available to Rogers wireless customers?
We're just putting the finishing touches on Rogers Next. Follow @RogersBuzz on Twitter and visit RedBoard for program updates and availability.
UPDATE March 4, 2014, 9:45 a.m.: Rogers Next is now available for new and existing customers. For full details, visit rogers.com/next.

What's comical about this post, is Rogers fails to point out that without Rogers Next, you get to resell your device. Whereas with Rogers Next, you have to give it back.
Any 1 year old $700.00 phone has a market value on Kijiji or Ebay of upwards of 300-400 dollars. iPhones are more. So in fact, you're way better off, buying the phone outright, and not paying the Rogers Next 'fee'. It's cheaper, and you have more flexibility to upgrade on your schedule.
So the savings not picking Rogers Next, is $125. (assuming a 400 Kijiji sale)
So we are prepaying betting that we will want whatever new phone some company may or may not come out with in 1 yr…
I don't get it.
Sorry I get what Rogers Next is, I just don't get why anyone would do it is all.
I realize new devices are announced all the time I guess as an iPhone user it is more of a once a year type thing.
There is one MAJOR point you guys purposely dismiss which makes your offer not only ridiculous, but also much more expensive and thats the resale price of your old flagship device. You guys say with Next, the price of the upgrade is only 360$ and without it's over 600$, but in that 600$ you guys forget that we still have our Note 3 which we can easily resell for 500$ which makes the price of the upgrade without next more like 150$. Thats makes not subscribing to this service a much better deal. Unless you review all your pricing, people like me, that upgrade every year, will figure this out soon enough and realise how useless this program is.
Seems like it could save the upgrade-aholics a few bucks potentially, if you're the type to upgrade extremely regularly, or find yourself buying off contract phones for hundreds of dollars. Essentially waiving the flex tab is a good deal, but you do have to trade your phone in. So don't forget to account for the inability to sell your old device. Seems like an okay deal though, depending on your upgrade habits.
I don't think it's an obviously bad or good program. It depends. If you don't take advantage every 12 months then obviously not. If you do, reselling your device may OFTEN earn you a bit more cash, but it's not a guarantee. Even if you do make a bit extra, you can look at the program as paying for convenience… not having to list your phone, deal with classified ads, find a buyer etc.
And to suggest you can absolutely sell a one year old phone for $500 consistently just isn't true. Depends on the level of device and the brand. This program definitely isn't for everyone, but I can see it being of use to some.
Here is the case that I wanted to point out:
In 2012, I sold my iPhone 4S 32GB (very good condition after 11 months of use) for roughly about $640. My 4S costs me about $850 with tax. So, I am losing $210. I am on the Fido $56 plan, unlimited voice and 2GB data and less 10% for BYOD. I need to make up $280 for the 32GB iPhone 5.
Consider the fact that for iPhone 4S one contarct, you still have to have $199.99 in 2011 and $329.99 for the iPhone 5 in 2012. What I am losing is just the up front payment of the phone if you are signing up for contract.
I don't have to be on those $80 with taxes plans. I save $23 a month and over 24 months, I save $552. Since I have an awesome, there is no more I can go anywhere near contracts. With this math in mind, I can have an unlocked phone, contract free and no expensive monthly fee.
I think most have failed math. Take for example note 3. Pay 199. Subsidy 500. In a year you pay 250 balance,connection fee and new 199$ cost. So total 550$ if phone good condition u may get 400$ max realistically since resell value of used phones are low now. So after a year you still have to pay over 150$. So next does save you. Certainly if you get a 0$ phone with 700$ subsidy. Before criticizing, do the math.:)
Do you have to take the device protection or can you just pay the 24.99 for Rogers Next?
Ok good I do not want the protection plan. Sign me up! Can I do this over the phone or do I have to walk into a store?
Say you're subscribed to Rogers Next for 6 months and you want to upgrade at that point (after 6 months instead of after the required 12), how is the calculation done? Is the amount of what you've paid in Rogers Next monthly fees just deducted from the FlexTab amount?
What must the condition be in at time of trade in? Is it the current standard of it having to be able to turn on and the (touch)screen not broken? What is the recourse for someone who doesnt meet these conditions – do they file an insurance claim? Can they then return that phone in for their upgrade? If they have no insurance – or opted for no insurance – are they out of luck with all their payments they made for that year?
If I sign up now for this Next Promotion, do I have to trade in my current device? I'm still on contract for another year so after that this device is mine. So what are your rules concerning existing customers?.
How about offering this deal to existing loyal customers ??? instead of just new customers, Shouldn't customer retention count for something ?

At birth we boarded the train and met our parents, and we believe they will always travel on our side. However, at some station our parents will step down from the train, leaving us on this journey alone.
As time goes by, other people will board the train and they will be significant. (i.e. our siblings, friends, children, and even the love of our life.) Many will step down and leave a permanent vacuum. Others will go so unnoticed that we don't realize that they vacated their seats!
This train ride will be full of joy, sorrow, fantasy, expectations, hellos, goodbyes, and farewells. Success consists of having a good relationship with all passengers...requiring that we give the best of ourselves.
The mystery to everyone is: We do not know at which station we ourselves will step down. So, we must live in the best way - love, forgive, and offer the best of who we are.
It is important to do this because when the time comes for us to step down and leave our seat empty -- we should leave behind beautiful memories for those who will continue to travel on the train of life.
I wish you a joyful journey for the coming year on the train of life. Reap success and give lots of love. More importantly, thank God for the journey!
Lastly, I thank you for being one of the passengers on my train!
I have a love/hate relationship with food like just about everyone else. My biggest problem though is breakfast. I'm eating it but almost feel pressured to do it.
When I was in the hospital last month I felt obligated to eat breakfast because I didn't want to waste their food. After I got home, I had gotten so use to it that I wanted it. But now..I'm back to feeling pressured to eat it.
Yes, I know it's the most important meal of the day and it's the one that should be eaten. But when I wake up in the mornings I'm just NOT hungry. So they say don't eat if you're not hungry, but make sure you eat breakfast. So what's a person to do in that situation?
I'll have a piece of fruit, a small bowl of cereal or a piece of toast..not all at the same time though. Then I feel bloated like I just had a full meal. Sometimes it's so darn confusing. :(
If you have any great words of wisdom I can use please let me know. I'm teetering on the edge of not eating breakfast again.
Trying to find a little humor in my recent hospital stay, not sure if you know much about Stan and Ollie. Ollie was in the hospital with a broken leg and Stan came to visit him. He brought him hard boiled eggs and nuts. Well, wonder why he didn't bring candy to Ollie? Because Ollie didn't pay him for the last box he brought. Hehe!
Sticking to that, and given the fact I can't eat eggs, my darling DH, after going home for a little rest the first night I was in the hospital, came back with a bag, had some nuts in it and some ceramic Easter eggs. Oh what a giggle I got out of that one no matter how bad I felt. LOL! He was one awesome bunny the entire time I was in and still is. :)
Of course my recovery will be slow and I'm taking very small deliberate strides working my way back. I feel pretty useless right now, messed up my perfect attendance here and most of my wonderful streaks got smeared, but I guess that's okay, starting over is a great place to start.
Gentle walking through the house is mostly what I do right now, one step at a time one day at a time. Oh, of course I think I should be able to count jumping through hoops with the insurance company as very high impact cardio! They sure have my heart pumpin' at times, and not exactly in a happy way. There was only one mess with them and that was a doozy, but it all started at the hospital where they were the ones who messed it up. Hmm? I just wonder what they'd say if I would send them the bill for the out of pocket expense we'll have had to deal with for 5 days? ROFLMBO!! Yea, they'd get right on that one..uhuh.. Anyway, the problem is now resolved and I'll be happier tomorrow, back to gentle walking and hopefully no more hoops to deal with.
Now, the other problem..FOOD! I know what I need, I know what I shouldn't have and what I shouldn't have is all I seem to want right now. Oh, I've only messed up with one Big Mack and Fries so far, and I'm doing the best I can to be so very good. But that's not taking the WANT away. Lots of water and ice chips are helping, carrot sticks and yogurt and oh those yummy honey nut cherios :)
I'm hanging in there! Tying that knot at the end of the rope and refusing to slip off in to the black hole!
My first blog of the new year and I couldn't think of anything but my goals.
1. Get more sleep. I have a lot of trouble with that. It's not so much me, it's my body and mind saying I've had enough after about 5 hours and I just wake up and can't get back to sleep. So from now on I'll lay there and try harder to get back to sleep.
2. Eat more fresh fruits and veggies and less canned ones. They are too convenient when I'm in a hurry to get dinner. If I take my time and work a little harder cutting the fresh ones up, I will appreciate them more.
3. Shake up my exercise routine more often. Mostly I change it only once a month but I will be doing it twice a month now.
4. I will fold the clothes and put them away after I laundry them!
5. I will be more patient and I will take things less personal.
I think those are good starts for me for the new year. I put them out there so you all could help me be accountable! HUGS!

Will These Analyst Actions Affect Kate Spade (KATE) Stock Today? (Update)
Update (9:37 a.m.): Updated with Thursday market open information.
NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- Barclays trimmed its estimates on Kate Spade
(KATE), set a $50 price target and holds an "overweight" rating. The firm cited strong growth with a heave promotional environment.
Nomura, on the other hand, increased its price target to $43, increased its estimates and set a "buy" rating. The firm noted the company is gaining market share.
The stock was down 1.38% to $37.08 at 9:35 a.m on Thursday.Must Read: Warren Buffett's 10 Favorite Growth Stocks STOCKS TO BUY: TheStreet Quant Ratings has identified a handful of stocks that can potentially TRIPLE in the next 12 months. Learn more. ---------- Separately, TheStreet Ratings team rates KATE SPADE & CO as a "hold" with a ratings score of C. TheStreet Ratings Team has this to say about their recommendation: "We rate KATE SPADE & CO (KATE) a HOLD. The primary factors that have impacted our rating are mixed - some indicating strength, some showing weaknesses, with little evidence to justify the expectation of either a positive or negative performance for this stock relative to most other stocks. The company's strengths can be seen in multiple areas, such as its compelling growth in net income, expanding profit margins and impressive record of earnings per share growth. However, as a counter to these strengths, we find that we feel that the company's cash flow from its operations has been weak overall." Highlights from the analysis by TheStreet Ratings Team goes as follows:
- The net income growth from the same quarter one year ago has significantly exceeded that of the S&P 500 and the Textiles, Apparel & Luxury Goods industry. The net income increased by 224.7% when compared to the same quarter one year prior, rising from $57.03 million to $185.17 million.
- The gross profit margin for KATE SPADE & CO is rather high; currently it is at 56.83%. It has increased from the same quarter the previous year. Along with this, the net profit margin of 43.37% significantly outperformed against the industry average.
- KATE, with its decline in revenue, underperformed when compared the industry average of 15.4%. Since the same quarter one year prior, revenues fell by 12.2%. The declining revenue has not hurt the company's bottom line, with increasing earnings per share.
- Powered by its strong earnings growth of 158.00% and other important driving factors, this stock has surged by 56.09% over the past year, outperforming the rise in the S&P 500 Index during the same period. Looking ahead, however, we cannot assume that the stock's past performance is going to drive future results. Quite to the contrary, its sharp appreciation over the last year is one of the factors that should prompt investors to seek better opportunities elsewhere.
- Net operating cash flow has declined marginally to $98.14 million or 0.50% when compared to the same quarter last year. In addition, when comparing the cash generation rate to the industry average, the firm's growth is significantly lower.

There are clearly barleywines which wouldn't be considered IIPAs, and IIPAs that wouldn't be considered barleywines. While there is often overlap, because both are high in alcohol and hoppy, some of the more dry IIPAs these days could NEVER be called a barleywine. And some of the maltier barleywines wouldn't fit in the IIPA category.
Yes, a lot of American craft brewers have darker, maltier IIPAs. You could just as easily slap a "Barleywine" label on them and nobody would really bat that much of an eye. But could you do this with Pliny? Ruination? Hop Stoopid? I don't think so.

Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a chronic autoimmune disease that targets myelinated axons in the central nervous system. Headache has been reported as a subtle symptom of the onset of MS, with a variable frequency of 1.6–28.5%; however, it remains unclear whether headache is a true symptom of MS onset. Here, we report the case of a female patient who had a history of migraine without aura and experienced worsening of migraine-headache symptoms as the initial manifestation of MS. Three similar cases were reported previously; however, unlike this case, those cases had no history of migraine without aura. In our case, we excluded factors that could trigger migraine attacks, such as changes in weather, drugs, alcohol, caffeine withdrawal, stress, fatigue, lack of sleep, hormonal therapy, diet, and hunger. The patient had one episode of MS attack with the simultaneous presence of asymptomatic gadolinium-enhancing and non-enhancing lesions, including hyperintense lesions in the bilateral periventricular white matter, body of the corpus callosum, and periaqueductal grey matter, as observed on the T2-weighted images obtained at the first brain magnetic resonance imaging. In addition, after the injection of gadolinium contrast, ring enhancement over these lesions was noted in T1-weighted images, which was suggestive of active demyelination. MS was diagnosed according to the McDonald criteria (2010 revision). We conclude that MS with periaqueductal grey matter involvement may present with worsening migraine. It is important to be cautious if any secondary causes exist, especially when the patient has a history of migraine without aura. MS should be one of the differential diagnoses in young women showing a change in headache pattern or poor clinical drug response to migraine treatment accompanied by episodes of focal neurological deficit. Failure to recognize MS may lead to inappropriate treatment and worse prognosis; early diagnosis in patients with MS is essential to improve their clinical outcomes and quality of life.
Keywords:Multiple sclerosis; Headache; Migraine; Periaqueductal gray matter
Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a chronic autoimmune disease that affects the myelinated axons in the central nervous system (CNS) [1]. This disease affects women more frequently than men. The estimated female-to-male ratio of MS incidence increased from 1.4 in 1955 to 2.3 in 2000, according to a systematic review of 28 epidemiologic studies [2]. The average age of onset of MS is 30 years, and the disease starts approximately five years earlier in women than it does in men [3]. MS symptoms at presentation vary individually and are unpredictable [4]. Headache is not generally regarded as a symptom of MS, although it occurs in more than half of the cases of MS [5]. Whether headache is a symptom of MS onset remains an open question [5]. Recently, we encountered a woman with MS, as diagnosed according to the 2010 revisions of the McDonald criteria, whose initial presentation was worsening migraine [6]. After steroid therapy, the patient returned to the remission stage without obvious neurological sequel, and the headache improved significantly.
Case presentation
A 33-year-old woman experienced severe right- or left-sided parietal–temporal throbbing headache accompanied by blurred vision, photophobia, vomiting, and anorexia at a frequency of 1–2 days per month since she was an adolescent. She was diagnosed with migraine without aura and received no prophylactic treatment. One month ago, she exhibited more severe, right-sided, parietal–temporal throbbing headaches characterized by a prolonged duration that increased in frequency to more than 15 days per month. She showed a poor medical response to sumatriptan and naproxen therapy. A few days after sumatriptan and naproxen therapy, she experienced the first MS episode of blurred vision over both the eyes and right facial numbness, which subsided quickly and spontaneously after 24 hours. Because the symptoms subsided quickly after 24 hours, the patient did not come to our outpatient department (OPD) at that time. No objective evidence of alteration of vision or facial sensation was observed. According to our detailed recordings of the patient's history, she had never experienced these symptoms before.
Because of these new symptoms, the patient underwent brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and some hyperintense lesions in the bilateral periventricular white matter, body of corpus callosum, and periaqueductal grey matter (PAG) were noted on the T2-weighted images. After gadolinium contrast injection, ring enhancement over these lesions was noted on T1-weighted images. In the sagittal view, MS plaques with a typical perpendicular orientation at the callososeptal interface were noted (Dawson's fingers) (Figure 1). The patient was diagnosed with definite MS according to the McDonald criteria (2010 revision). The MS diagnosis was based on the recording of one episode of MS attack and the evidence of simultaneous gadolinium-enhancing and non enhancing lesions. The patient refused to receive disease-modifying therapy because her symptoms were relieved and the headache subsided gradually.
Figure 1. Hyperintense lesions in the bilateral periventricular white matter (arrow), body of the corpus callosum (arrow), and periaqueductal grey matter (arrowhead) are noted on the T2-weighted image. After gadolinium contrast injection, ring enhancement over these lesions is noted on the T1-weighted image (curved arrows), which is suggestive of active demyelination. In the sagittal view, multiple sclerosis plaques with a typical perpendicular orientation at the callososeptal interface are noted (Dawson's fingers) (black arrow).
Two months later, the patient was admitted to the neurology department of our hospital because of bilateral numbness of the lower legs, unsteady gait, difficulty in defecation, and urine retention for the past week. In addition, worsened migraine was noted again. Neurological examination showed bilateral pinprick-sensation and vibration impairment over the L1–L2 dermatome, positive Romberg test results, poor coordination, and short steps with wide-based gait. The follow-up brain MRI revealed that the above-mentioned lesions had increased in number and size, as observed on T2-weighted images. After gadolinium contrast injection, more prominent ring and incomplete ring enhancements over these lesions, including those in the PAG, were noted on T1-weighted images. In the sagittal view, MS plaques with an increased number of Dawson's fingers were noted (Figure 2). These signs were suggestive of disease progression with active demyelination. On the basis of our physical observation, we performed a low thoracic and lumbar spine MRI, which showed a hyperintense lesion in the spinal cord (T9 level) on T2-weighted images and enhancement after gadolinium injection (Figure 3).
Figure 2. Two months later, the hyperintense lesions located in the bilateral periventricular white matter (arrow), body of the corpus callosum (arrow), and right periaqueductal grey matter (arrowhead) were increased in number and size, as observed on T2-weighted images. After gadolinium contrast injection, more prominent ring and incomplete ring enhancement over these lesions is noted on the T1-weighted image (curved arrows). In the sagittal view, multiple sclerosis plaques with an increased number of Dawson's fingers are noted (black arrow).
Figure 3. Low thoracic and lumbar spine MRI showing a hyperintense lesion in the spinal cord (T9 level), which is observable on the T2-weighted image (arrow). The lesion exhibits contrast enhancement after gadolinium injection (curved arrow).
MS with spinal cord involvement was considered. The cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) analysis performed after admission to exclude other possible infectious causes showed no white cells and normal glucose (70 mg/dL) and protein (26 mg/dL) levels. CSF tests were negative for virus isolation and for Gram stain and culture. No oligoclonal bands were found. Serum analyses for presence of rheumatoid factor (RF), antibodies against nuclear antigen, and anticardiolipin immunoglobulins G and M yielded negative results; in addition, the levels of the C3 (90.7 mg/dL) and C4 (18.5 mg/dL) complement were normal. Furthermore, the anti-HIV and rapid plasma reagin (RPR) tests were negative. The erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) and C-reactive protein (CRP) levels were <0.10 mg/dL. Assessment of visual evoked potentials (VEPs) revealed that the P100 wave latencies were 134 ms and 137 ms in the right and left eye, respectively; the amplitude was lower in the right eye. Compared to the normal values, the amplitudes were prolonged by over 20% in both the eyes, which indicated definite involvement of the optic nerves. After five days of methylprednisolone therapy, the clinical condition returned to the remission stage, without evident neurological deficit, and the patient's headache improved significantly. After the second episode, we discussed the patient's condition with her family and shifted the patient to immunomodulatory treatment with subcutaneous injection of 44 μg of interferon beta-1a thrice a week, with regular outpatient department follow-up.
Here, we report the case of a patient who showed worsening migraine as the initial presenting symptom of MS. MS was diagnosed according to the McDonald criteria (2010 revision). This patient had one episode of MS attack and exhibited the simultaneous presence of asymptomatic gadolinium-enhancing and non-enhancing lesions on the first brain MRI scan. The McDonald criteria for category III were established.
Patients with MS have a high prevalence of headache; headache occurs more commonly in patients with MS (27%) than in matched controls (12%) [7]. D'Amico and colleagues reported a 57.7% lifetime prevalence of headache in 137 patients with clinically definite MS [8]. However, it is unclear whether headache is a symptom of the onset of MS. Kurtzke et al. [9] considered headache as a subtle symptom of MS onset, with a variable frequency of 1.6–28.5%. This variation in frequency might be explained by differences in study design and patient inclusion criteria. Ophthalmoplegic migraine-like headache [10], complicated migraine [11], short-lasting unilateral neuralgiform headache attacks with conjunctival injection and tearing (SUNCT) [12], and cluster tic syndrome [13] have also been reported in single MS cases. Fragoso and Brooks [14] described a single case and Yetimalar et al. [15] reported the cases of two young women with migraine onset as the only symptom of the first episode of MS. These cases were different from our patient because they had no history of migraine without aura.
To our knowledge, there is no description in the literature of patients presenting with worsening migraine symptoms without neurological signs as the first episode of MS. When the initial symptoms of MS are worsening migraines and changes in headache patterns, they may be discounted as a recurrent event and ignored. Our study suggest that it is important to consider the possibility of MS in patients with worsening migraine symptoms accompanied by episodes of focal deficit and to follow-up these patients regularly.
Tortorella et al. found that patients with migraine had supratentorial lesions chiefly located in the frontal lobes and periventricular white matter and noted no difference in the number of supratentorial lesions between patients with migraine with or without aura [16]. In our case, the first brain MRI scan showed signs that were unlike the migraine lesions at the locations mentioned above, and there was damage to the periventricular and infratentorial PAG regions.
Many factors can trigger migraine attacks, such as changes in weather, drugs, alcohol, caffeine withdrawal, stress, fatigue, lack of sleep, hormonal therapy, diet, and hunger [17]. In our case, none of the above-mentioned factors was found. We hypothesize that stress causes inflammation in general, and particularly in MS, because stress-related neuropeptides activate the excretion of inflammatory molecules by microglia and mast cells [18]. Although no obvious stress was observed in our case, a hidden stress may have caused the acute MS attacks. As observed in our case, MS may be considered as one of the differential diagnoses of acute-migraine-like episodes.
The PAG modulates pain via the descending system and exerts an antinociceptive effect to the peripheral afferent system. Gee et al. showed that patients having MS with a plaque located within the PAG region displayed a four-fold increase in migraine-like headaches [19]. In our experience, common migraine attacks generally require no further imaging examinations. However, in our case, worsening migraine followed by an episode of focal neurological deficit indicated that we should look for any secondary causes of the symptoms. The involvement of the PAG region may explain why this case presented initially with worsening migraine headache without clinical response. The patient initially refused treatment when MS was diagnosed because of symptom relief; however, unfortunately, the symptoms recurred two months later. Although there is no cure for MS, the diagnosis of the disease and early initiation of an appropriate treatment are the best strategies to prevent severe neurological deficits.
Moreover, the more frequent administration of the IFNb preparation, as performed here, seems better than the administration of IFNb-1a just once a week [20,21]. In fact, in a previous study worsening of pre-existing headaches or de novo headaches were found only in patients with MS who received interferon therapy, and not in those who received other disease-modifying therapies [22]. Compared to natalizumab (NTZ), IFNb might cause a continued increase in the frequency and severity of migraine in cases of MS [23]. However, NTZ was approved by the US Food and Drug Administration as a second-line monotherapy for patients with MS who exhibit no response to other immunomodulating drugs [24]. In addition, glatiramer acetate is not available currently in our hospital. In our case, the patient receives a subcutaneous injection of interferon beta-1a thrice a week after well discussion with the patient.
We demonstrated the importance of PAG involvement in a patient presenting with acute worsening migraine headache as an initial manifestation of MS. The presence of worsening migraine as a symptom of MS could lead to diagnostic difficulties. Moreover, this symptom may be easily ignored in patients with a migraine history. MS should be one of the differential diagnoses in young women showing a change in headache pattern or poor clinical drug response to headache treatment accompanied by episodes of focal neurological deficit. Failure to recognize MS may lead to inappropriate treatment and worse prognosis; therefore, early diagnosis in patients with MS is essential to improve their clinical outcomes and quality of life.

Asamoah Gyan captained Ghana at the Africa Cup of Nations Al Ain coach Cosmin Olaroiu has tipped Asamoah Gyan to redouble his efforts for the club after returning from an understated performance with Ghana at the African Cup of Nations in South Africa. The Black Stars lost the third-place play-off with Mali 3-1 on Saturday, having suffered a 3-2 penalty shoot-out defeat to Burkino Faso in the semi-final last week. Captain Gyan, 27, scored just once in a 3-0 group phase win over Niger as he seemed starved of the usual support heaped upon him at club level. He is six goals off equalling his own top scorer's tally of 27 goals in all domestic competitions this season, giving him a total of 48 goals in 38 appearances since joining Al Ain from English club Sunderland. Despite failing to make as big an impact for his national team, with whom he has scored 31 goals in 68 appearances, Al Ain coach Olaroiu has encouraged Gyan to throw himself back into club competition. "I think his fie...

Sep 25, 2013Not as good as their previous work but still pretty solid. A few solid laughs through out and Michael Clark Duncan really steals the show in my opinion. Could have been better though.
The movie offers enough solid laughs to ensure a decent audience on DVD and cable. That audience could have been even larger, however, were the proceedings just a little smarter and a whole lot funnier.
Likably stoopid, the latest from comedy troupe Broken Lizard (Super Troopers, Beerfest) mines plenty of jokes from eating out and being served.
The film is set in a celeb-owned Miami restaurant and many of the gags--exploding entrees, the swallowing of a diamond ring, on-the-job drunkenness--feel like leftovers.

The owner of the condo owns that piece of property like a regular home owner, except they have to follow the rules and regulations of their condo association.

Third part assessments can provide crucial insights.
Peter Wilmarth, RA, an architect at SSOE Group with over 35 years of experience, offers his thoughts as to how those of us in the chemical industry can gain insight from the West Fertilizer plant explosion in his recent Chemical Processing Magazine publication. The tragic blast occurred in 2013 in West, Texas — killing 15 people and injuring over 160 — and elevated the issue of safety in relation to hazardous industrial processes.
Repairing plants in real time without disrupting production.
Joel Kramer, PE, senior structural engineer at SSOE Group, was recently published in Plant Services Magazine, discussing the challenges related to the remediation of aging infrastructures and offering his expert insight on how best to upgrade with minimal disruption of production. Kramer includes applicable examples of specific projects, describing some of the strategies employed that, although simple, led to advantageous outcomes.
David Young and Jim Swope, PMP, senior project managers at SSOE Group, wrote a newly published article in Food Manufacturing Magazine discussing the advantages of pre-owned manufacturing equipment and some of the challenges related to its utilization. Between food and personnel safety, operational productivity, and overall integrity, there is a lot to think about in relation to equipment. Choosing the right used equipment can significantly cut costs while also shortening lead time—a winning combination serving to improve the bottom line without sacrificing quality.
Joe Kunkle, AIA, PE, LEED AP, principal account executive at SSOE Group, recently authored an article in University Business Magazine, turning the spotlight on ways universities are now preparing their students for an economically sustainable future, while also shifting their perceptions and values in a greener direction.
Jennifer Wondergem, a chemical engineer at SSOE Group, is featured in a recent article published in Food Engineering Magazine. The article discusses good manufacturing practices (GMPs)—or current good manufacturing practices (cGMPs)—in relation to Food Safety Modernization Act (FSMA) and Global Food Safety Initiative (GFSI) schemes.
The article "Selecting, Retrofitting, and Integrating Used Equipment" in Food Quality & Safety Magazine's August/September 2014 issue serves as an informative overview on how to better choose pre-owned food processing equipment and the significant savings in capital and time it yields.

Two hurt in Epping crash involving bus, five other vehicles
A school bus and five other vehicles were damaged in this chain reaction accident on Route 125 in Epping Friday afternoon. (Courtesy/Epping police)
The accident happened just after 4 p.m. when a school bus owned by Safeway Transportation rear-ended a Toyota Prius while traveling south on the busy highway, according to Epping Police Officer Steve Soares.
The bus driver, identified as Jo-Anne Hall, 55, of Kingston, told police that she looked in her rearview mirror and then saw brake lights ahead of her. She hit her brakes as she turned to the right to avoid the vehicle in front of her, Soares said. The bus struck the back of the Prius operated by Scott Dumas, 48, of Merrimac, Mass.
The collision caused a chain reaction involving four other vehicles. They included a Cadillac DeVille driven by Gina Zafirakis, 24, of Manchester; a Subaru Outback operated by Elizabeth Currier, 27, of Palmyra, Maine; a Dodge Caliber operated by Dawn Raymond, 43,of Madbury; and a Nissan Altima driven by Patricia Cooper, 60, of Raymond.
Dumas, whose vehicle sustained the most damage, was transported to Exeter Hospital with back and neck injuries, Soares said.
Zafirakis was also brought to Exeter Hospital after suffering an arm injury.
The bus driver and the other drivers escaped without injury.
Soares said the bus wasn't carrying students at the time of the accident.
The cause of the accident remains under investigation by Epping police. No charges have been filed.
Epping fire and rescue personnel also responded to the scene of the accident, which caused significant traffic delays heading for evening commuters heading north and south.

A. They both come from palm trees, but there the similarity ends. Palm oil comes from the palm fruit, while palm kernel oil is extracted from the palm seed. And while over 80 percent of the fat in palm kernel oil is saturated, only 50 percent of palm oil is, making it easier on arteries. Palm oil's reddish or golden color is a clue that it also contains a fair amount of heart-healthy carotenoids. Some research even suggests that the fatty acids in palm oil don't raise cholesterol the way saturated fats traditionally do.

We are all concerned about loss of orangutan habitat. Buy responsibly/sustainably grown red palm oil from West Africa (a traditional product there) or central/South America. Nutiva is a good brand.

I think this question has been asked but I couldn't find a reply to it. If a recipe calls for Palm oil, can it be substituted for Palm kernel without running it through a lye calc. Would that be the same for Babassu oil?

Wow ... saturated fat increases saturated fat in the blood? Please show me a study that reveals that with low carb intake. Don't blame the saturated fat ... blame the carbs for driving it there. Isn't it all about insulin, really?

"Canola oil is NOT a "franken-food". Canola was developed from rapeseed by conventional plant-breeding techniques. No gene-splicing or importing genes from other species whatsoever."
FALSE... Canola/rapeseed is one of the 4 allowed crops in Canada that is GMO, and also why i have completely cut it out of my diet.

Don't buy palm oil because the orangutan is almost extinct due to Indonesia selling its rainforest to palm oil farming. Only buy palm oils that has the Rainforest Alliance or other sustainable certification. Orangutans are beautiful, amazing creatures. Just google all of the orphans who have lost their families due to deforestation. They are little "people."
