As you may know, the second ADA/AMIA 10x10 Class (with a nutrition focus) is now in progress. The nutrition theme/content is managed by Marty Yadrick, Elaine Ayres and myself. I sometimes feel that I am learning as much (or more!) as I am contributing. We are in midst of an explosion in the informatics arena – and it is exciting to have nutrition in the midst of this. This year's class as last year, will have a full-day "In Person" Session at FNCE 2011.
The talents of this group have proven to be equally skilled and exciting as the first 10x10! The responsibilities are vast and varied: Clinical Dietitian, Chief Clinical, Nutrition Managers, Systems Analyst, Software Developers, and Clinical Research Bionutritionist – to name just a few! Just as with the first offering, the 10x10 participants have responsibilities which encompass all six "areas of practice" within ADA.
Our present class has 27 students from 15 different states, plus Canada. Last year's group included 40 students--representing 21 different states, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, and Germany! We look forward to another great experience when this group meets in person in September!

A very pretty swan song bug ! |
Did you get a big frost gb? We've been having frost on roofs most of this past week. Yesterday we did get some ground frost but not a heavy one. The elephant ears got touched with frost so they're due to come out of the pots today. There is a surprising amount of things still green and 'on their feet' yet. The main chores for this weekend here are depotting the elephant ears and planting bulbs. |
We seem to be closer to winter than you....unfortunately. The three photos above are definitely history! |

No frost damage here yet. But soon I'm sure. |
We got heavy frost on both roofs and ground this morning so that should turn most of the remaining standing stuff to mush! |

Dr Clay,
Do artificial sweeteners cause insulin spikes? Like those found in sugar free energy drinks?
That's a very good question, Matt.
First let's clarify that when we say artificial sweetener we're talking about:
- sucralose (brand name Splenda)
- saccharin (brand name Sweet 'n Low)
- aspartame (brand name Equal or NutraSweet)
- acesulfame K (brand names Sunett & Sweet One)
Nitty Gritty Answer
To cut to the chase, if artificial sweeteners do cause insulin secretion, it's not a very significant amount.
They don't seem to spike insulin enough to lower blood glucose levels.
A Little More Detail
To answer this artificial sweetener/insulin question more accurately, we must consider each sweetener separately, as they are all very different.
Overall, studies show that sucralose does not affect insulin much at all.
To quote one study, "We conclude that sucralose, delivered by intragastric infusion, does not stimulate insulin." (1) Odd thing about this study is the "intragastric infusion." They bypassed the mouth and injected the Splenda in the stomach.
But another study said, "sucralose stimulated insulin secretion in the presence of a low concentration of glucose." (2) In other words, when sucralose was added to a small dose of glucose, it did boost insulin levels a bit more than just taking the glucose by itself.
This may indicate the sweet receptors in the mouth may have something to do with insulin secretion. But then again ingesting sucralose by itself doesn't cause insulin secretion, so it's certainly not a cause-effect relationship.
Some studies have shown insulin secretion after consuming saccharin, but others have shown no effect. So I'd say we need more information to say for certain.
It seems pretty safe to say that aspartame does not affect insulin levels.
Acesulfame K (aka ace k)
Of all the low-calories sweeteners, acesulfame K is the one that seems to have an effect on insulin secretion.
According to one study, "In conclusion, Acesulfame K not only acts as a sweetener, but in higher doses, can also induce insulin secretion in vivo." (3)
And it seems the insulin-secreting effects of acesulfame K are dose-dependent, meaning the more you ingest, the more insulin levels will rise.
However, this study was done on rats. So take the results with a grain of salt (as you should ALL study results, in my opinion).
In Summary
I'll let Andrew Renwick and Samuel Molinary summarize their review article published in the British Journal of Nutrition:
"Overall, the available data show that there is no consistent evidence that intense sweeteners cause insulin release or lower blood sugar in normal subjects." (4)
Although I don't disagree with their statement, I find it interesting/frustrating that Renwick consults for the International Sweeteners Association. And if that's not enough, Molinary consults for Tate & Lyle who just so happens to make Splenda. (read in Andy Griffith voice) Well I'll be.
"Overall, the available data show that there is no consistent evidence that intense sweeteners cause insulin release or lower blood sugar in normal subjects." (4)
Here's my final take: I don't think insulin secretion as a result of consuming artificial sweeteners is an issue we should be concerned with. However, it's safe to say that it's still best to NOT consume artificial sweeteners due to other potential deleterious effects.
Or, perhaps more realistically, try to minimize your intake of artificial sweeteners and only use them when you really need to. For me that means I'm still gonna put some Splenda in my oatmeal. ;)
Your friend in fitness,
Dr Clay

The Trivium is a systematic method of critical thinking used to derive factual certainty from information perceived with the traditional five senses — sight, sound, taste, touch, and smell. In the medieval university, the trivium was the lower division of the seven liberal arts, and comprised grammar, logic, and rhetoric.[1]
Etymologically, the Latin word trivium means "the place where three roads meet" (tri + via); hence, the subjects of the trivium are the foundation for the quadrivium, the upper division of the medieval education in the liberal arts, which comprised Arithmetic (number), Geometry (number in space), Music (number in time), and Astronomy (number in space and time). Educationally, the trivium and the quadrivium imparted to the student the seven liberal arts of Classical antiquity.[2]
The trivium is implicit in the De nuptiis Philologiae et Mercurii ("On the Marriage of Philology and Mercury"), by Martianus Capella, although the term was not used until the Carolingian Renaissance, when the term was coined, in imitation of the earlier quadrivium.[3] Grammar, Logic, and Rhetoric were essential to a Classical education, as explained in Plato's dialogues. Together, the three subjects were included to and denoted by the word "trivium" during the Middle Ages, but the tradition of first learning those three subjects was established in ancient Greece. Contemporary iterations of The Trivium are practised in the Classical education movement.
Grammar teaches the mechanics of language to the student. This is the step where the student "comes to terms", i.e. defining the objects and information perceived by the five senses. Hence, the Law of Identity: a tree is a tree, and not a cat. Logic (also dialectic) is the "mechanics" of thought and of analysis; the process of identifying fallacious arguments and statements, and so systematically removing contradictions, thereby producing factual knowledge that can be trusted. Rhetoric is the application of language in order to instruct and to persuade the listener and the reader. It is the knowledge (grammar) now understood (logic) being transmitted outwards, as wisdom (rhetoric).
In The Trivium: The Liberal Arts of Logic, Grammar, and Rhetoric (2002), Sister Miriam Joseph thus described the Trivium:
Grammar is the art of inventing symbols and combining them to express thought; logic is the art of thinking; and rhetoric [is] the art of communicating thought from one mind to another; the adaptation of language to circumstance. . . .
Grammar is concerned with the thing as-it-is-symbolized, Logic is concerned with the thing as-it-is-known, and Rhetoric is concerned with the thing as-it-is-communicated.[4]
In the Dictionary of Word Origins (1990), John Ayto said that study of the trivium (grammar, logic, and rhetoric) was requisite preparation for study of the quadrivium (arithmetic, geometry, music, and astronomy). For the medieval student, the trivium was the curricular beginning of the acquisition of the seven liberal arts; as such, it was the principal undergraduate course of study. From that contrast, between the simpler trivium and the difficult quadrivium, arose the word trivial.[5]

We talked recently to Mariano Municoy, IP attorney at the law firm Moeller IP Advisors in Argentina, about the challenges brand owners face in Latin America.
Municoy pointed out that just like other regions of the world, the use of social media is growing in Latin America. However, most Latin American countries are first-to-file trademark countries, which presents a unique set of legal challenges especially in light of the huge growth in the region's number of trademark filings. Brazil, for example, has seen a 150% increase in the number of trademark filings. This results in slower processing time by trademark authorities, along with long processing backlogs.
This year's FIFA World Cup in Brazil, followed by the 2016 Olympic Games in Rio, will generate a huge amount of social media marketing, so brand owners should be registering trademarks in Brazil early to overcome the often long wait for trademark registration. Brazil is not a member of the Madrid Protocol (Columbia and Mexico are the only Latin American members), so companies and brands interested in protecting their brands there should have already filed trademarks because of the huge processing backlog in Brazil. Municoy said the wait is at least three years, so if brands haven't planned ahead for the FIFA World Cup or 2016 Olympic Games, they are already too late. However, they should still move ahead with filing their trademark, since filing in Brazil gives companies and brands some rights. Municoy advises that brand owners should spend time researching the specifics of Brazilian trademark law and plan ahead for the long trademark registration period.
The speed at which social media transmits information makes it hard for any brand owner to police usage of their brand. Brand owners in Latin America face particular challenges due to the number of different legal systems across the region and the limited amount of case law and legal provisions regarding social media. At a minimum, Municoy says that brand owners should conduct a basic trademark search and, when possible, do a full search to identify any potential areas of conflict. He noted that the sooner you identify a potential conflict, the easier it will be to solve.
The Latin American industries with the highest amount of trademark litigation include beverages in the Caribbean, coffee in Colombia, tobacco in Central America, and wine in Argentina in Chile, in addition to the pharmaceutical industry. Municoy advises that brand owners should become aware of regional and country differences in trademark law and plan early and act quickly to get the appropriate protection mechanisms in place.
What is your brand strategy in Latin America?

I appreciate your input with new items, but once is enough. You don't have to tell the community more than once about XZ utils. We all know. That package has been talked about going into LFS, so I've been waiting for that. Please, no more mention about XZ utils... ever. As far as your most recent comments about the 2010 version, you and I have very different outlooks. I used the native tarballs from tug.org (didn't use the "extra", only the "source" and "texmf" tarballs). I don't see any conflict with man-db. In fact, of the 88,000+ files that are installed, only /usr/share/info/dir is overwritten. My home-brewed package-management system lets me know about any file that will be overwritten before the installation even begins. I don't know about the PSUtils files noted above. I have not installed that package. I don't know what you mean about the package "separated into modules". We don't need to discuss, as it is probably Arch's PKGBUILD system doing that. I just unpacked the texmf tarball into my DESTDIR, created two temporary symlinks so that nothing is put in /usr/texmf or /usr/texmf-dist, ran a sed to fix some kpsewhich variables so that everything is in /usr/share/texmf and /usr/share/texmf-{config,var,dist,local}. Then CMMI. After installation, create a font cache directory, a bit of cleanup by fixing broken symlinks to scripts and moving some man pages that are not properly installed, then configuration with texconfig-sys, fmutil-sys, updmap-sys, texlinks, and mktexlsr. -- Ticket URL: <http://wiki.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/ticket/2480#comment:13> BLFS Trac <http://wiki.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs> Beyond Linux From Scratch

Getting more bang for your buck
Good news:
If you don't use your coupons before they expire, they're still worth the money you paid for them for an extra three months.
GrabOne FaceValue gives you another three months after your coupons expire, making it even easier to enjoy businesses all over New Zealand.
How does it work?
- A coupon is valid up until and including the expiry date printed on the coupon.
- If you don't use it before the expiry date for whatever reason, the coupon retains the value you paid for it for an additional three months.
- This means you can turn up to the business up to three months after the coupon has expired and put the money you spent to buy that coupon towards the service or experience printed on your coupon.
For example, if you spend $50 on a $100 dining voucher but don't use it before the expiry date, you will still be entitled to $50 worth of food and beverage services at that business for an additional three months.
The same goes for coupons without monetary values assigned to them. For example, if you buy a bungy jump deal but don't use it before the expiry date, you can still put the money you spent on the coupon towards a bungy jump, for another three months. Remember, the FaceValue of your coupon can only be put toward the service or experience printed on your coupon.
A few things to note:
- FaceValue applies to all deals that display the FaceValue icon. If the icon is not on a deal, FaceValue does not apply.
- It's always best to use your coupon before the expiry date, so you get the most value for your money. And if you're a bit forgetful, we now automatically remind you if your coupons are about to expire.
- During the FaceValue period, your coupon can only be put towards the service stated on the coupon.
- If the offer is seasonal, like a seasonal menu or chimney sweep service, the FaceValue of your coupon can be put towards a similar offer at the merchant's discretion.
- FaceValue does not apply to product deals, travel and accommodation-related deals, or time-dependent event deals.
- The conditions on your coupon still apply during the FaceValue grace period.

I did photography for a wedding on the weekend and a loud roar followed by glasses clinking went out for toasting to the groom's 'Big East Coast Heart' and if there is one thing that I can say that I love about the east coast, it would definitely be the people, but read on to find out what else everyone loves about the main place I've played in over in that fun place called the Maritimes, Halifax in Nova Scotia. -

Montreal, Quebec, H3Z 3J8, Canada
Opened in 1995, this sushi bar specializes in using imported fish from Japanese and other world markets. So fresh it's sometimes delivered still alive, the fish selections are the main attraction of chef Antonio Park's omakase, or sushi tasting menu. Signature dishes range from raw oysters and swordfish steaks to spring-roll-like lambas. Other, more familiar, sushi plates like gyoza and tempura are gussied up with lobster, foie gras, and sea urchin. Select from high-grade chilled sakes and wines. The restaurant's octagonal main dining room centers on a circular red bench and fire-toned chandelier.
Insider Tip:
A less expensive, late-night menu is offered after 10 p.m.

Is there a way to just copy and paste a gif or clip art into an email?. I'm using Outlook Express. Also I would like to learn how to add this signature to a plain ordinary email.
Thanks |
Follow-Up Postings:
I use OE also and I did just that copied your image and pasted it into my email, then sent it to myself to see if it works, it does lol. Actually the better way would be to save that image somewhere on your hard drive then bring up a new email and insert it where ever you want it by using Insert/Picture. To be able to do this though make sure the email is set to Rich Text format. ;0) |
Thanks, That worked for me too, but when I saved them in a folder and then tried to copy and paste from there , it would not paste. I have been using the Insert/Picture but thought the other would be simpler. My daughter told me that if I copied and pasted onto a word document that I could copy from there and it would paste into an email. I don't understand why it would work from " word" but will not work directly from the saved folder. Any ideas? ivamae |
ivamae, You can also have it so it appears automatically on your e-mails when you compose a message. But that takes some doing. ~Urlee~ |

The number of available options on new cars has been climbing in recent years. Is it time to simplify things?
When Alan Mulally started at Ford, there were 128 different choices for options on the console of the Lincoln Navigator. That's a huge increase in the number of options over the original Model T. Each of those options adds complexity to the production line and ordering process, and reduces profitability.
For 2008, Ford cut out 99 percent of the 100,000 different Focus configurations. The simplification adds profitability and many buyers won't notice the difference. A mere 4,000 combinations covered 80 percent of all Focus sales in the past. Other automakers are simplifying the number of buildable combinations, too.
Combining options into packages allows customers to still get the equipment they desire, but it cuts down on the number of possible combinations of a given vehicles. That simplification makes production more efficient and reduces the chance dealers will have a vehicle in a rare combination that nobody wants to buy. Nissan is going to rely on this strategy.
The number of platforms each automaker uses should also be shrinking. GM and Ford are moving to more versatile platforms in the coming years that will simplify production around the globe and cut down on research and development costs. Using one platform for a class of global vehicles saves lots of money for the automakers.
Would a reduction in the combinations of options upset you, or would it make buying a new car easier? Let us know in the comments.

found a new home!
Plenty of my friends are looking
for one too. Find a pet to adopt.
Find a pet to adopt |
My name is Miles (formerly Chiquito)!
Facts about Miles (formerly Chiquito)
- Breed: Beagle Mix
- Color: Tricolor (Tan/Brown & Black & White)
- Age: Young
- Size: Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)
- Sex: Male
Miles (formerly Chiquito)'s Info...
I am already neutered, housetrained, up to date with shots, and not good with kids.
Awooo, Awooo, better yet Arooooo to all!! Miles is here and I would luv to be Your Little Chiquito Bandito. I'm a cutie, a little guy, and just 2.5 years old. How can you not help but fall in love with my handsome lil' face? I really enjoy cuddling and sharing your lap. We can relax together on the couch or in the recliner and I will be more than happy to keep you warm and safe from the crazy outside world! I can't wait to meet my forever family real soon now!!
Other Pets at Arizona Beagle Rescue
Why Adoption is a Great Option
Miles (formerly Chiquito), a Phoenix Beagle dog was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Beagle for sale in Phoenix, or seeking a Beagle dog from a breeder in Phoenix.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Phoenix already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
- On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a Phoenix breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
- You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even Beagle breeders who help with Beagle rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Phoenix paves the way for another one to be saved.

"Ok, I didn't literally mean to kill her with kindness, I was speaking metaphorically!" - Lou, trying to advise the Wicked Stepmother on changing her evil ways.
After assessing the situation Lou leans down and proclaims "As Coroner I must aver, I thoroughly examined her, and she's not only merely dead, she's really most sincerely dead."

Dubai: One of the courts in the United Arab Emirates acquitted an expatriate in the country who was accused of sending a text message to his colleague that was insulting Islam and the Holy Prophet Muhammad (Peace Be Upon Him).
DM, a Briton, was accused of sending the message to his fellow sales executive KS, 24, after a business trip to Saudi Arabia in March last year.
The sales executive claimed that the Briton had reprimanded him for performing Umrah after work hours during the trip, telling him that this was not an approved company activity.
When they returned to Dubai on March 15, the sales executive resigned. He claimed that two days later the Briton sent him a text message that insulted Islam and the Prophet Muhammad (Peace Be Upon Him) and warned him that he "knew lots of sheikhs."
The Briton was arrested on soon after sending the text message at his workplace in Oud Metha and taken to Rafaa Police Station where he was interrogated.
He denied sending the message, saying the only message he sent following the man's resignation was one that "wished him the best in the future."
When confronted with the message that included insults to Islam, he said that he is "stunned" to know the message was sent from his number and that he believes he has been set up using "some computer technologies."
He said that he was asleep at the time the message was sent and that he had requested records of his mobile phone activity after he was informed of the complaint. He said that these records proved he sent no such message.
The Misdemeanors Court acquitted the sales executive of four charges of insulting Islam and the Prophet Muhammad (Peace Be Upon Him) and one of insulting KS.
The court received a report from Etisalat Telecommunication in which it said that it was possible for a text message to be sent through certain websites on the internet in which the sender chooses the phone number he desires to appear as the sender.

Phoenix, AZ--With the
startling decision handed down by the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals in
the Debra Milke death penalty case the next steps are crucial ones.
Maricopa County Attorney Bill
Montgomery who is responsible for any possible retrial and AZ Attorney General
Tom Horne, his appellate lawyer must make some tough decisions.
We all are well aware that the
only evidence against Milke is that claim by a serial perjurer cop, Armando
Saldate that Milke confessed. We also know
he deliberately avoided recording his conversation with the young mother. There are no signed documents or witnesses to
this claimed confession. Frankly, that
confession never happened.
I interviewed Milke with a hidden
recorder just hours after Saldate in the receiving area of the Madison Street
Jail. Her adamant and emotional denial
was redundantly played for the 5,6 and 10 PM audiences of Channel 10 News. The trial jury never heard that interview tape.
Likewise the trial jury never
learned about the hideous pejorative conduct of Phoenix detective Armando
Saldate and his incredible record of framing people.
Milke's trial defense lawyer
Ken Ray was in way over his head trying this heater, high profile murder
During the period of her
trial, Debra Milke was in a state of mourning over her son's murder and
suffering from profound depression. To
combat her depression jail physicians prescribed heavy anti-depressants that
left her in a near zombie like trans during her trial.
The drugs robbed Milke of the
normal emotions that we expect people to have.
The courtroom observers including members of the press commented on how
unemotional and cold she seemed. Neither
the jury nor the media ever knew about the mood altering drugs Milke was fed. The fact is the drugs did the job for which
they were intended.
I sat through Milke's trial
and on the day before she was sentenced to death against her attorney's advice she sat down for a long TV
interview with me. This time she was far
less drugged up and much more animated when she talked with me on camera.
Horne and Montgomery can seek
and en Banc hearing from the full 9th Circuit Court and then try for
a nearly hopeless long shot effort to get the Supreme Court to even hear their
appeal. They know their chances of
winning are indeed very slim. These
foolish steps will only delay the inevitable acquittal by as many as two years
victimizing an innocent woman even more.
Montgomery and Horne on the
other hand can simply retry the case.
However considering that the new jury is going to know about Saldate and
his despicable history retrying this case would only showcase a major public
This time the new jury will
hear about my hidden tape recording of Milke's emotional denials in the jail
receiving room.
Of course delaying any
retrial with hopeless appeals will temporarily take the scandal out of the
Montgomery and Horne need to
simply play it straight and let the chips fall where they may. They both will be sleeping better at night.
Here is that interview:

I updated all Video drivers and I think they mentioned something about it in the readme file. Does anybody have an idea how to fix that ?

I have another new crop of Japanese Maple seedlings. They are getting their second and third set of leaves. They are a mixture of green and green tinged with red. I would prefer to send a few dozen at least per trade but if you need more I certainly have more! I am presently looking for dwarf irises, unusually daffodils, pink lily of the valley, calla lilies, or let me know what you have.
Thanks in advance, Trish |
Follow-Up Postings:
Hi Trish, My husband wants more of your Japanese maples. You sent such nice ones last year. I gave some for gifts. Here in TX people love those trees.I may not have what you are looking for. I have daffodils, but were mixed at one time, few calla lilies from a trade.I have dwarf irises, but I find that rich soil they are not so dwarf.I have lots of new little plants from seed.I will ck. today. Thanks, Donna (ck my GW list.It's old, but still have lots.) |

Hi, I would love some of your Japanese Maples! I just went to a plant swap and ended up with a bunch of purple dwarf irises but I'm not certain if I have a dozen. I do have (if you are interested) cut leaf japanese maple seeds that i could send you with the irises. I got them in a trade and have since realized I'm horrible with seeds. Let me know...ps my trade page is out of date. Need to get on that tonight. |
Just wanted to tell you that I got about three dozen of these from you, and they're BEAUTIFUL! I don't think I lost but 2-3 over the winter, so my local plant swap's going to have LOTS of Japanese maples this spring... |

Hi, Trish! I have been DYING to get my hands on some Japanese Maple. I don't have a ton to trade, as I'm a relative newbie, but I'd be willing to do a SASBE trade, or purchase some from you. I do have seeds to trade, if you're interested in those at all (jalapeno, green bell pepper, black beauty eggplant, asian cabbage, baby leaf spinach, and pepperoncini). I do, however, have seeds and seedlings of Japanese Lantern Plants that I could trade, if you're interested in those. Thanks! |
- Posted by thnkfl4plntz 7 (firstname.lastname@example.com) on Tue, Apr 24, 12 at 19:07
Hey Trish, I'd love some of both kinds of your Japanese Maples. Please check out my plant list and I will hopefully be adding more to it tomorrow. |
Here is a link that might be useful: Joel's Lists

Trish, I do have some dwarf crested iris in white and lavender. I also have many other plants like toadlilies, unusual elephant ears 'Coffee Cups', 'Elena' and 'Shock treatment' and others if you are interested. I would love to have some Japanese Maple seedlings if you still have some. Thanks. Sherry |

You're the Jekyll and Hyde of snacking—restricting calories so much by day that by night you're ravenous. After dinner, you trek back and forth to the fridge. Before you know it, you're cuddled up on the couch with a sleeve of Oreos.
FIX IT! Start with a breakfast that's really satisfying—like steel-cut oats, eggs, or Greek-style yogurt. Then at lunch, combine healthy carbs, protein, and fat. And truly savor your treats. Dean Ornish, MD, the author of The Spectrum, does a "chocolate meditation." Take a single piece of the best chocolate you can find and let it dissolve slowly in your mouth, paying attention to the complex flavors. You'll get more pleasure with fewer calories.

People With Diabetes Protected From Discrimination
People with diabetes can breath a sigh of relief: New rules now protect them from workplace discrimination. The Obama administration has widened the definition of disability to include cancer, epilepsy, and diabetes, among other conditions.
The government's Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) was told to revamp its rules after Congress voted to broaden federal disability law in 2008. It did so last month.
While you might expect businesses to take issue with such a change, the U.S. Chamber of Commerce welcomed the rules. (The chamber has three million companies across the country as members.)
"These issues can be exceedingly difficult," said Randel Johnson, a senior vice president at the chamber, in a statement to Bloomberg News Service. "The commission gave substantive consideration to our comments and those of other stakeholders."
What's changed? It's all about what conditions are considered "substantially limiting."
Before the revision, health issues had to restrict huge chunks of your day-to-day life---sleeping, let's say, or basic concentration. That led to a pretty restrictive definition of disability. After all, people whose diabetes is controlled are able to sleep through the night and to concentrate. That doesn't mean, however, that they're without real and pressing medical needs.
Now, though, "substantially limiting" conditions include not only diabetes and epilepsy, but also obsessive-compulsive disorder, HIV, and post-traumatic stress disorder, the EEOC said. In all of these cases, the diseases pose major challenges---and may require workplace accommodation---but aren't always obvious to onlookers.
The government defines disabilities so it can require businesses to make "reasonable accommodations" for those with disabilities. Need a break to check your blood sugar? Need some time for an insulin injection? The law now offers you some protection.
Businesses that employ more than 15 people have to follow the rules, which were published last month in the Federal Register.
Do workers need the laws? Apparently so---more than 25,000 people claimed workplace discrimination because of disabilities last year.

PANAJI: An 11-year-old boy from Rajasthan was found working under exploitative conditions in the Goa Medical College (GMC) hostel canteen for male doctors by members of the Goa state commission for protection of child rights on Wednesday afternoon.
Acting on a tip-off from an anonymous caller, the minor was rescued by commission members, comprising chairperson Sameera Kazi and member Renuka Pawar.
"We were informed that some children are working in the canteen and are doing heavy work suitable for men," Kazi told TOI.
The commission conducted a raid on the canteen, accompanied by a male sub-inspector and lady constable. But they found only an 11-year-old boy in a pitiable condition. Seeing the team, he tried to run away.
"He looked haggard and unkempt and appeared not to have bathed for several days," Kazi said.
The contractor, Rajendra Sharma, also of Rajashtan, had brought the boy from his home state. Though the contractor claimed that the boy was working there for a few days, sources told the commission members that he was seen at least three months ago.
"Mere ma baap udhar hai, (My parents are in Rajasthan)" the boy told the commission members. After the rescue, the boy was sent to Apna Ghar, Merces.
While the formalities of registering the offence were being done, the commission members asked the contractor to give him food. "He appeared to be very hungry," she said.
A case has been registered under Section 7 (2) (a). Section 8 (4) of Goa Children's Act, 2003, against the contractor, who was taken into police custody. Under this Section, all children who have not completed the age of 14 are prohibited from all forms of work.
"Another female accused, Pushpa Ghatekodde, also from Rajasthan has not yet been arrested," PI Jivba Dalvi of Agassaim police station said.
As the boy appears disturbed, he has not yet been interrogated. "We will record the details in the presence of an NGO," Dalvi said.
In a separate matter, the team also found a 16-year-old boy working in another GMC canteen. The commission was informed that back home in Bihar, the boy's uncle had taken a loan of 15,000 from the canteen contractor. As per the provisions of Goa Children's Act, 2003, the boys' employment does not constitute an offence. "But in this case, the boy was being denied education and was working full time in the canteen," Kazi said. "The boy wants to go back home," Kazi said.
The commission is writing to the Agassaim police to either rehabilitate the boy or repatriate him to Bihar.

In April 2005 HERG team members Dr Raina Plowright, University of California, Anja Divljan, University of Sydney and Craig Smith, Queensland Department of Primary Industries and Fisheries, conducted a disease surveillance operation in the Northern Territory, Australia. The operation is part of a longitudinal study of Hendra virus in little red flying foxes in the Katherine Region. Photo: R. Plowright.
The primary goal of the operation was to ascertain the prevalence of antibodies to Hendra virus within the population and attempt to isolate any virus that might be present. One hundred and four little red flying foxes, including 9 one week old pups, were caught, sampled and safely released over several mornings. A small blood sample, urogenital and oral swabs where taken to allow HERG team members Dr Alex Hyatt, Dr Kim Halpin, Dr Greer Meehan and Rhys Fogarty at the Australian Animal Health Laboratory to test for the presence of antibodies and virus. Photo: R. Plowright.
These results will be used by Dr Raina Plowright to study the dynamics of Hendra virus in little red flying fox populations. Understanding the persistence and spread of Hendra virus within flying foxes will help us to determine why the virus emerged into domestic animals and humans. Anja Divljan will be studying the age structure of flying fox populations which will help us to determine age specific seroprevalence of Hendra virus in little reds. Photo: R. Plowright.
HERG team members are grateful for the assistance they received from the Parks and Wildlife Service Northern Territory (PWSNT) during this operation and would like to thank Senior Scientist Carol Palmer and Senior Rangers Chris Kinnaird, Justin Perry, Rhonda Scoccimarro, John Burke and Dave Hooper from the Katherine region.
The PWSNT assisted by providing small water craft and accommodation and access to the Flora River Nature Park, they were also kind enough to catch and relocate the 3.5 m salt water crocodile that took up residence by our boat ramp. Photo: R. Plowright.
Watch videos from the operation including fly-out over Flora River, when flying foxes leave their colony after sunset to begin their nightly foraging. Video: C. Smith.

Re: WALL•E (2008)
I will admit that Pixar's WALL-E is brilliant in a lot of ways. I still wouldn't allow any child of mine to see it, though, because of the insidious and ridiculous anti-capitalist mentality it espouses. Of course, that's exactly what will make the Academy vote for it. Which proves once again that Hollywood is the enemy of mankind.
This year, alas, the Academy's top honors went to films that New York Times critic A. O. Scott perceptively described as "hermetically sealed melodrama[s] of received thinking, feverishly advancing a set of themes that are the very opposite of provocative." Meanwhile, the Academy snubbed both WALL-E and The Dark Knight, which Scott describes as "contrasting allegories pitched at the anxieties of the moment," "populist entertainments of summertime" that incited the "interesting movie debates of 2008."
This was not a proud year for the Academy in my book. I'm with my friend Jeffrey Overstreet, who wants to host a "Boycotting the Oscars" party this year.
Anyway. Not only do I not agree that WALL-E is anti-capitalist — or anti-technological, as the article you cite claims — I don't agree that criticizing capitalism qualifies one as "the enemy of mankind." (See the Church's critique of "unbridled capitalism" in, e.g., Centesimus Annus.)
How could a movie with such nostalgia for Rubik's Cube and big-studio musicals be anti-capitalist? How could a movie with such a sympathetic and humanized robotic hero be anti-technological?
The economic critique of WALL-E's one-corporation world (all consumers, no producers) in the article you link to is of course perfectly cogent. It is also almost entirely beside the point. You might as well mount a critique of the economics of Narnia, where the Witch's hundred-year winter hasn't suppressed the supply of sardines, boiled eggs, buttered toast, tobacco, potatoes, beer, marmalade rolls and the like.
More to the point, you might as well critique the biology and sociology of Gulliver's Travels. WALL-E is a scathing satire, not of capitalism or technology, but of passive mass-media consumer culture and not living thoughtfully. As Swiftian satire, it offers a bold and striking image of mankind enslaved to passivity, consumption and isolation from real contact. No, it's not a plausible construction of a possible future — not at all. But I'm reminded of the theme lyrics to "Mystery Science Theater 3000": "If you're wondering how he eats and breathes and other science facts / Just repeat to yourself 'It's just a show, I should really just relax'…"
I can't say I see any danger of young minds exposed to WALL-E developing anti-capitalist or anti-technology biases. The real danger, in my book, is that they may start clamoring for WALL-E paraphernalia: video games, action figures, lunch boxes, bedsheets, who knows what all. That's the point where parents may want to begin practicing the spirit of the movie, rather than the spirit of the merchandisers.

Ballin: Last night's Knicks-Bulls game was a big one, so of course Nate Robinson had 35 points, made five threes and scored 18 points during the course of the fourth quarter and overtime. He's still not quite National TV Rajon Rondo, but Big Game Nate Robinson is a real thing, I guess.
Not so much: Steve Novak and Jason Kidd played a combined 49 minutes. They scored a combined zero points while missing every one of their combined five three-point attempts. A lot of this combining came against Carlos Boozer, by the way, which means we might be looking at another All-Defensive team vote for Ol' Painthead.
Heavy: Last Bulls thing for now, but if you were wondering if Nate Robinson celebrated like crazy during his stellar performance, the answer is obviously yes.
I think we can all agree that Nate not celebrating would have been the bigger surprise. Also, AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!
Quick: Happy birthday, Brad Miller.
Fast: Maybe someone should stop the ball here.
Maybe not though, because that was a cool dunk. Durant finished with a smooth 31-10-8 line in just 34 minutes, by the way. He's definitely going to win SMVP this year.
Thanks for nothing: Klay Thompson had as many turnovers (2) as made field goals (also 2, duh) in the Warriors' loss last night. He also had as many made free throws (still 2, dummy) because I'm guessing that is his favorite number.
Other things: Last night's Bulls win broke the Knicks 13-game winning streak, which is like half as cool as when they halted the Heat's 27-game winning streak … New "Shaqtin' a Fool" … Probably the best Kevin Martin dunk you'll ever see, rivaled only by the time he dunked near Greg Oden while wearing a mohawk … Anthony Davis is out for the season, but there is no structural damage to his knee … Ty Lawson says he's playing tonight

Get 'em young, as they say.
Well, if you live on Vancouver Island, British Columbia, and have lazy couch potatoes for children, boy, do we have great news for you!
The Twisted Grip Dance & Fitness Studio in Duncan is offering some new fitness classes for adults and children that are causing quite a stir. What is this magical activity?
Why, pole dancing, of course! Yup, we'll give you a second to drink it all in.
This new class is starting in late September and entails some good old-fashioned pole aerobics for wee ones. Now, before you jump to conclusions, this was not developed by some pimp in a back alley, but by a trained professional in response to demand from parents who frequent the fitness studio.
"My existing students were asking about it for their children. They were saying, 'My daughter plays on my pole at home all the time, I'd love her to actually learn how to do things properly and not hurt herself,'" stated Kristy Craig, owner of the studio, in The National Post.
Oy... Is quoting a woman with a pole in her house really the best strategy for Ms. Craig? We're not feeling sympathetic to her woes, here. But regardless, the classes are drawing significant worldwide attention (and ridicule) because of the sexual inferences pole dancing generally carries, and some of Craig's new students are only 5 years old!
"Do you see anything provocative going on here? Because there isn't. This is strictly about fitness," Craig continued in The National Post. "I treat it just like gymnastic classes… I don't teach any of the adult moves."
Now, we understand the struggle of many pole dancing instructors and enthusiasts. The International Pole Sport Federation (oh, it's real) is pushing to embed the activity in the Olympics, for example. But involving children, who cannot even comprehend the negative stigma surrounding the sport, may be a little too political. Fitness is important — that's why there are numerous games and activities created for that purpose for children — but climb a pole? Climb a tree!
The pole itself was initially created and implemented in gentlemen's clubs for the purpose of a woman to throw herself onto it in various seductive positions. If Ms. Craig has unearthed a method of desexualizing an innately sexual object, then we fully support her. But how many people can look at a child dancing on a pole without thinking of a stripper? We suggest the class use horizontal poles — that'll show 'em!
"Any criticism that comes in I understand, but pole dancing in general is trying to change people's perception away from the stripping and more into it being fitness and an athletic sport," Craig explained to CTV News. "I don't think you can avoid the stigma."
In this particular situation, the important thing is not the opinion of the posh nose-turner-uppers, but of the parents and children participating or willing to participate in such classes. Would non-pole-dancing parents be down for a session of "Little Spinners" for their kid, for example?
"I didn't even know that existed. It's probably good exercise, but too provocative. I wouldn't let my 10-year-old do it," said Jessy Carranza of Barrie, Ontario.
"I wouldn't let my 9-year-old do it, no. The idea of a kid on a pole is not associated with anything childlike for me. It needs time to lose the negativity around it before I'm comfortable enough to sign my child up," stated Sofiya Philippova of Oshawa, Ontario.
And to hit up this issue from numerous angles, child psychologist Dr. Derek Swain stated that if the pole dancing activity is free of bullying, there is actually very little harm to the child.
"They need to have parental support in recognizing some of their peers and some other adults may not be very supportive of it and may jeer [at] them and make derogatory remarks to them, and they need to be prepared for that. Ultimately they need to decide whether or not they can handle the stress if that occurs."
But since everything is a double-edged sword, Dr. Swain also warns of the dangers of involving young girls in pole dancing with the negative stigma.
"There would be that potential, and that is something of concern, because we know that people in the adult industry are out recruiting in colleges and universities as well as attempting to recruit in high schools. That temptation would certainly be there, and for someone who already has those skills, it would be an easy transition."
So many opinions, all contradicting one another. In the end, the classes are not conducted in a brothel, in the nude, with oiled-up poles and neon lights… So if you're willing to take the plunge and introduce your kid to a new form of activity, go for it. If you're not, that doesn't mean you're a prude either.
It's a shaky issue. Let us know what you think!

Anton RF et al. – This study does not support a salient role for the opioid receptor (OPRM1) asp40 alone in predicting drinking or naltrexone effects. However, although exploratory and in need of replication, it introduces the possibility that epistasis between the OPRM1 gene and dopamine transporter gene might need to be taken into account when examining differential genetic response to alcohol or medication treatment, especially in early–stage alcoholics.
Methods- Two hundred and sixty-five nontreatment-seeking individuals with alcohol dependence were genotyped a priori for the OPRM1 asn40asp SNP and post hoc for DAT (SLC6A3) 9 and 10 VNTRs.
- Asp40 carriers (n = 43) and matched asn40 homozygotes (n = 40) were randomized to naltrexone or placebo for 7 days before receiving a priming drink and limited-access alcohol consumption in a bar-lab setting.
- Effects of genotypes on natural drinking as well as drinking, alcohol effects, and response to naltrexone in the bar-lab setting were examined by genotype.
- There were no significant main effects of naltrexone or OPRM1 genotype, or any medication by OPRM1 interaction, on drinking variables.
- However, in individuals who had at least one DAT 9 VNTR, and who were also OPRM1 asn40 homozygotes, naltrexone reduced drinks/d consumed under natural conditions (p = 0.006), but not in the bar-lab.
- OPRM1 asn40 homozygotes (p = 0.028) and DAT 9 VNTR carriers (p = 0.032) had more stimulation to alcohol after the priming drink.

Pumpkin Spice Bagels Recipe
- 2/3 cup plus 2 tablespoons water (70° to 80°), divided
- 1/2 cup canned pumpkin
- 1/3 cup packed brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1-1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 3/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1/2 teaspoon ground allspice
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cloves
- 3 cups bread flour
- 1 package (1/4 ounce) active dry yeast
- 1 egg white
- 1 tablespoon cornmeal
- In bread machine pan, place 2/3 cup water, pumpkin, brown sugar, salt, spices, flour and yeast in order suggested by manufacturer. Select dough setting (check dough after 5 minutes of mixing; add 1 to 2 tablespoons of water or flour if needed).
- When cycle is completed, turn dough onto a lightly floured surface. Shape into nine balls. Push thumb through centers to form a 1-in. hole. Stretch and shape dough to form an even ring. Cover and let rest for 10 minutes; flatten rings slightly.
- Fill a Dutch oven two-thirds full with water; bring to a boil. Drop bagels, two at a time, into boiling water. Cook for 45 seconds; turn and cook 45 seconds longer. Remove with a slotted spoon; drain on paper towels.
- Whisk egg white and remaining water; brush over bagels. Coat a baking sheet with cooking spray and sprinkle with cornmeal. Place bagels 2 in. apart on prepared pan. Bake at 400° for 15-20 minutes or until golden brown. Remove to wire racks to cool. Yield: 9 servings.
Reviews for Pumpkin Spice Bagels
Sort By :
"I doubled the recipe and did not use a bread machine. These bagels turned out pretty good and I will probably make them again, but I will adjust the spices next time. I felt that the nutmeg and cloves were a bit overpowering and will probably halve those amounts next time and perhaps add a touch more salt. Overall, it's a good recipe that produces a tasty, chewy bagel.To answer the previous question of how to make these without a bread machine, you would just proceed as with most yeast breads. First dissolve the yeast in the water (make sure it's warm) with some of the sugar. When the yeast is frothy, blend in the pumpkin and sugar. In another bowl, combine the salt, spices, and flour and whisk together. If mixing in an electric mixer, add half of the flour to the wet ingredients, mix on low until mostly incorporated and then add the remaining flour mixture a little at a time. Mix for about 5 minutes on low - medium low until dough is soft and smooth. Turn out onto a floured surface, make a ball and place in an oiled mixing bowl, turning to coat. Cover and let rise until doubled and then proceed with the recipe as written.If mixing by hand, proof the yeast in the water and then mix in the pumpkin and sugar. In a separate large mixing bowl, blend the flour and spices. In the flour bowl, make a well and add the wet ingredients. Mix until it comes together in a shaggy mass and then transfer to a floured work surface. Knead until soft and smooth (about 5-10 minutes) adding enough flour to prevent sticking too much. The dough should feel slightly firmer than a baby's bottom as it is a dense dough. Place in an oiled mixing bowl, turn to coat, cover and let rise until double and then proceed as written."
"I don't have a bread machine but want to make these by hand. Someone commented that they made these by hand using the instructions from TOH Nov. 2010, but I don't have those instructions. Anyone know how to do these by hand instead of a bread machine?"
"these were great- the only change I made was to add raisins to them. very yummy. everyone loved them"
"This was surprisingly easy to make. I did it by hand (well, with the help of my kitchenaid bread hook) and they turned out great! I followed the TOH Nov. 2010 directions for doing it by hand mostly and actually just used regular flour! They smelled delicious in the oven and tasted super yummy!"
"Best bagels ever! Bread machine makees it so much easier. My only tip is when making them, make the whole bigger than you think it should be. My bagels did not have a whole the first time I made them after they baked! Dough rises a lot in the oven, so don't be afraid to make them wide."
