Usually, a minor injury to a backup quarterback in June isn't notable. But this is the Saints, a team that will play under two interim head coaches during the 2012 season, and will also be without its general manager for much of the year.
Oh, and that Drew Brees character who was the best quarterback in the league last year statistically still hasn't signed a shiny new long-term contract. And although Jonathan Vilma will easily be replaced by Curtis Lofton, his name will remain in negative headlines throughout the offseason as his fist fight with Roger Goodell over his year-long suspension continues.
And now, this…
Daniel will be out for two weeks, and he's expected to be fully recovered and ready for the Saints' training camp.
So here's where we're at in the rather inappropriately named Big Easy. During an offseason when the veteran leadership of Brees is desperately needed to guide the Saints through what's been a rudderless period, the front office is still quibbling over a reported $1 million.
Brees continues to sit, and now the Saints will finish their mandatory mini camp with Sean Canfield at quarterback, the only other healthy QB that's under contract who isn't named Luke McCown.
Someday the football gods will release the Saints from the clutches of their death grip. Someday.

haven't been able to come up with one. good, standard, mexican-restaurant-table-salsa.
My standard is a pico de gallo style: 1 yellow onion, finely chopped 8 roma tomatos, seeded and chopped 1/2 bunch cilantro, leaves finely chopped (about 1/4 cup) 2 cloves garlic, minced Juice of 1/2 lime 2tsp salt Mexican hot sauce to taste (I usually do about 2tsp Tapatio) Let it rest for a couple hours in the refrigerator so that the flavors can mingle. This recipe has always been a party hit.

We just wantz to be druck, u know?" -Yooper
I've found most of the salsas I like all have lots of cilantro, onion, and jalapeno and a little lime juice. Personally I haven't found decent tomatoes in the stores for a while.
do you need a proper recipe or just ingredients list?

Sorry, here's not what you are looking for, but the best salsa I've made (I've made a few!) is mostly tomatillos. I've made it several times. It is limey, not your typical salsa. My kids love it, also. Not spicey, but you can add chopped jalapenos to taste (I add a couple).
I use: 6-8 Roma tomatoes 1-2 jalapeños 2 Anaheim peppers 1/2 medium yellow onion 2+ cloves of garlic fresh key lime juice from 2-3 limes (or juice 1 regular lime) fresh chopped cilantro I use granulated chicken bullion (instead of salt to taste) about 1 tbsp fresh cracked black pepper 1 shot of tequila chop everything up, mix together and refrigerate for a few hours to let the flavors blend together, the next day it is even better!
I don't blend or cook mine, I prefer the fresh flavors of the raw veggies, I use the pampered chef version of the slap chop thingy to do my chopping, I knife mince the garlic and jalapeños very fine instead of using the chopper.
thanks for the replies yeah mine is more of a "salsa roja" style. i do like tomatillos...

When I was growing up, music was a huge part of my life.
The first time I kissed a boy "Sunglasses at night" was playing in the background.
The first concert I went to was Shaun Cassidy. I should add I went WITH MY MOM. Let me also say it's awkward yelling "I love you Shaun–CALL ME!" while your mom is sitting in the chair next to you. I'm not saying I didn't do it, I'm just saying it was weird.
I made up a dance to "Pop Music" and knew every lyric to every song (still do) to the "Grease" album.
I listened to Crosby, Stills, and Nash, The Bee Gees, Fleetwood Mac, and The Doobie Brothers. 70′s music was killer. And then the 80′s was even better.
One song I've loved for most of my life was a little ditty by a band with a really strange name. Manfred Mann's Earth Band.
You know what song I'm talking about, don't you–"Blinded by the light."
But what you probably don't know is that the song was originally recorded by Bruce Springsteen. But for some reason The Boss couldn't make it work. It wasn't a hit for him. So this band with a strange name changed some of the lyrics and re-recorded it. Suddenly, it became one of the biggest hits of all time. Mostly due to the fact that everyone sang it wrong.
I've always sang it like this…"Blinded by the light, wrapped up like a douche, another runner in the night."
I never thought about how the song made absolutely no sense. I just loved singing the word "douche" at the top of my lungs. Even though now I *know* the song doesn't say "douche" I still sing it like that. Because why would I not.
If you listen to the song, you will swear they are saying douche.
I wondered how many other people out there sing it that way. So I turned to Twitter.
And here are some of the tweets I got back.
Even Bruce Springsteen joked that it became a hit only after Manfred Mann changed the song to be about a feminine hygiene product.
So see? Douche.
In case any of you are unfamiliar with the song–which how would that even be possible–unless you're originally not from planet Earth, or you're 12–in which case WHAT ARE YOU DOING ON THIS WEBSITE AND WHERE ARE YOUR PARENTS?–here is a video I found on YouTube. Ignore the fact that there are some misspelled words. You'll get the gist.
Please tell me you thought it was douche too.

The solar industry is on the brink of a sustained period of momentum, according to a new research paper by Deutsche Bank published on Wednesday.
The report predicts that a re-balance in the supply and demand of polysilicon, the growth of new markets and stabilizing module prices will make 2014 a pivotal year in the industry's development.
"We believe the solar sector is at an inflection point and industry fundamentals are likely to improve further into 2014," states the report.
"The sector has passed the tipping point for grid parity in more than ten major markets worldwide and will likely maintain this momentum even with elevated poly prices. As module prices stabilize around $0.60-$0.70/W, levelized cost of solar electricity without subsidies is now 10-20c/kWh in several major regions of the world. Rising electricity prices, a need for competitive generation sources and lowered balance of system costs will drive further improvement over the next several years."
According to the research note, demand for polysilicon could outstrip supply by 2014 with the glut of polysilicon swallowed up and much production capacity, particularly in China, going offline.
The bank predicts a rise in module prices leveling off at around US$0.70 per Watt due to the impact of tariffs on Chinese cells entering Europe in the third quarter of 2013 and the levies on Taiwanese products entering the US.
Many large PV manufacturers have seen their share prices shoot upwards during the past month and Deutsche bank expects this to continue.
"Despite the strong year-to-date performance, we believe the solar rally has legs. Demand outlook is improving due to strong demand from Japan, China, US and other emerging markets. The supply situation is also a lot better in our view – Chinese tier two/three supply cuts have accelerated over the past 18 months and supply from large Chinese companies such as STP, LDK has decreased sharply, particularly in markets outside of China," it predicts.
"With the potential resolution of EU/US/China tariff uncertainty, we expect relatively stable pricing, improving margins and further sector consolidation to drive gradual profitability improvement, which in turn could act as the next set of catalysts for solar stocks."

The art of the mockbuster: Good artists copy, great artists steal
The art of stealing art is a long lasting one -- since the dawn of the civilized era, people have been copping other people's ideas and running with them. On some levels, there's no real shame in it, but when stealing is turned into a profitable business, things start to get a bit wonky. Today, we have entire industries devoted to the mockbuster, the clone and the knockbuster. How do they do it? By skirting copyright ever so slightly they're able to deliver people what they want: big-scale entertainment at home or on the go.
Every form of media has companies that do this, but for our purposes, we'll be looking at two examples of companies doing it the right way and the wrong way. On the chopping block today will be The Asylum, perhaps best known for Transmorphers, and Gameloft, best known for titles like Guitar Rock Tour, Gangstar: Miami Vindication and N.O.V.A..
Now, when you look at the lineup of The Asylum, you'd likely assume it's all about directly copying pre-existing movies in the cheapest way possible. That's only partially true. The purpose of Asylum movies is not to directly copy; it's about copying the covers and names of movies.
None of its movies share anything other than a name with the blockbuster equivalents. The purpose is to confuse people at home for long enough to pick their movies off the shelf and take them to the counter (or start up a Netflix stream). It's a bait-and-switch tactic. Transmorphers has literally nothing in common with the Michael Bay movie other than the fact it's about robots beating the shit out of humans. Where Transfomers tries to make us believe these robots just showed up, befriended the stupefied Shia Lebeouf -- who also happens to score a date with Megan Fox -- and save the day, Transmorphers takes place years after the robot Armageddon and features a far more interesting lesbian sub-plot.
The same goes for Sherlock Holmes. Where the blockbuster version had something to do with Robert Downey Jr.'s dumb problem solving, Asylum's was far more interesting. Not only was it about Sherlock solving a mystery, it was about how he punched an octopus, rode a Tyrannosaurus Rex, defeated a dragon and beat up a steampunked Iron Man. Seriously, here's the trailer to prove it.
Asylum takes dumb movies and makes them dumber. That's its purpose in this world. When Roland Emmerich masturbated all over the pretentious pile of shit that was 10,000 BC, Asylum countered with 100 Million BC, a far better movie that was all about time-traveling scientists who end up in 70,000,000 BC (no, that's not a typo) and who bring back a Carcharodontosaurus back to the present. Which of those two movies would you rather watch?
Then there is Gameloft, the videogame equivalent to Asylum.

NBA Player's Maxim Girlfriend Commits Suicide.
Gia Allemand who was dating Ryan Anderson of the New Orleans Pelicans hung herself.
HoopsVibe's Very Quick Call: Everything about this story is sad. Ryan was the one that found her.
Gia Allemand was found limp and nearly dead by her boyfriend Ryan Anderson of the New Orleans Pelicans. She was rushed to the hospital where doctors attempted to save her life. Unfortunately, she had critical loss of brain and organ function and was taken off life support Wednesday and died.
Ryan Anderson, Gia's boyfriend and member of the New Orleans Pelicans, was the person who found her hanging in her New Orleans home. The couple had gone through a rough patch recently, but no one saw this coming or even thought she was seriously depressed.
The New York Daily News reported Anderson had this to say, "I'm deeply grateful for all the love and support we have received from family, friends and fans. Gia was the most beautiful person I knew inside an out, and she always smiled and made everyone else around her smile. She had such an amazing impact on my life and anyone that knew her was blessed. All I have left is to cherish those memories we made together and help perpetuate the many values, faith and love that we shared."

Varnadore, Moon, Howard East Bay Winners
October 23, 2010 by eastbay
Filed under Bulletins, Featured, Racing Results, Stories, Uncategorized
By: Larry Jewett – 10/23/2010
A five division program under a full moon went off without a major hitch as a few drivers took giant steps in their quest for the 2010 track championships. Feature winners were Travis Varnadore (Racecar Engineering Late Models), Billy Howard (Outlaw 4s), Eric Moon (Precision Kia Street Stocks), Michael Eaton (motorstats.com 4 Cylinder Bombers) and Evan Page (Micros/Gadgets).
Howard moved out to his sixth win of the season in dominating fashion during the Outlaw 4 main. Howard won his heat, then had to deal with point leader Matthew Haynes during the main. Haynes encountered mechanical problems and fell back in the event, giving Howard some breathing room. Chris Zimmerman mounted the next challenge, but settled for second. Heat winner Stephen Hohlbaugh rebounded from an early race incident for third with Brittany Yates and Haynes rounding out the top five.
Doug Watson held the early lead in the Racecar Engineering 25-lap main. Watson ran solid lines through the early stages, only to be overtaken on lap 14 by Travis Varnadore. Once out front, Varnadore pulled out, giving everyone a view of his spoiler. Point leader Bryan Bernhardt gave chase, but settled for second. David Schmauss ran a steady contest for third with Watson and early challenger Perry Brown inside the top five. Varnadore and Brown captured heats.
Eric Moon finished second in his heat race, but learned a bit that came into play in the 15-lap Precision Kia Street Stock feature. Moon shot to the front from his fourth starting spot and had a host of challengers try to sneak by. Point leader Donnie Reed gave it the best shot, ending up second. Thomas Pratt grabbed third with James Hook making a late race charge to fourth. Collin Kruse rounded out the top five. Heats went to Reed and Pratt.
A field of 32 motorstats.com 4 Cylinder bombers brought the need for a consy and a main. Three heats, won by Thomas Burnside, Jimmy Williams and Michael Eaton, put these three drivers into the front row of the A and qualified six others in each event. The 12-lap consi was won by Robert Purcell. The A main started with Williams in command. Eaton was able to slip by and stretch out a good-sized lead. The competition for the remaining spots was intense as Raymond Vann bypassed Burnside to claim second. Mike Lacey came from deep in the field to claim fifth, finishing behind Matthew Odell. Eaton's win was his second of the season.
Evan Page sped past the field to cross the line ahead of his father, second finishing Ivan Page, in the 12-lap battle of the Micro Spints/Gadgets. The outcome reversed the previous East Bay visit when Ivan Page defeated his son.
ASA sanctioned racing returns to East Bay Raceway Park on Saturday, October 30, 2010. Racecar Engineering Late Models, East Bay Sprints, Precision Kia Street Stocks, Outlaw 4s and motorstats.com 4 cylinder Bombers make up the card. For more information, go to www.eastbayracewaypark.com or call the track office.

Research in the Kowalski lab focuses on understanding the molecular processes that control the ability of neurons to communicate with one another at specialized cellular junctions called synapses (synaptic transmission). The precise regulation of synaptic protein abundance and function impacts the strength of synaptic transmission, which changes during processes such as learning and memory. We utilize the roundworm C. elegans as a model system in which to identify and characterize enzymes belonging to two highly conserved protein modification pathways (called the ubiquitin pathway and the SUMO pathway) and their substrates that regulate synaptic transmission. To do this, we employ a combination of genetic, biochemical, cell biological, and behavioral approaches. Since there is significant conservation of neuronal proteins between C. elegans and humans, these studies may also provide insight into how synaptic transmission is controlled in the human nervous system.

No stone unturned
A new farmer reflects on her 1st year in business
By Zoë Bradbury
When I think back on 2008 – the first year of running my own farm – it summons one image to my mind's eye: A big field strewn with boulders, and I'm standing alone on the edge of it, blindfolded. One by one, I'm rolling over every rock I bump into in hopes of unearthing the essential things I need to get the farm off the ground, namely credit and technical assistance. Also: equipment, key infrastructure like an irrigation system, and tools and supplies. It seems that no matter how many stones I flip over, there are still a hundred more that I haven't gotten to in a landscape that feels vast, random, and overwhelming. I long for a map, a bird's-eye view.
Cut to real life: it is a late night in April of 2008, and after a 14-hour day on the farm, the USDA web page I'm trying to pull up is taking forever to load. Here, my proverbial field of stones is the World Wide Web, where I'm hunting down resources on a slow-as-molasses dial-up connection, agency by agency, website by website. A screen finally pops up after a five-minute delay, during which I've swept the floor and balanced my checkbook. Three words appear: "Page Not Found."
It seems that no matter how many stones I flip over, there are still a hundred more that I haven't gotten to in a landscape that feels vast, random, and overwhelmingI grind a little more of the enamel off of my teeth and give up for the night, wishing that there was some kind of central, umbrella program to help beginning farmers get their start in Oregon. I have this intuition that many of the resources I need are out there, but they're spread scattershot amongst a maze of organizations, agencies and websites. When you're farming solo, it's hard to navigate that tortuously slow cyber-world after a long day in the field, or to burn precious daylight inside making cold calls during business hours. So I daydream about a one-stop-shop that would orient me to a menu of start-up resources and allow me to easily access the ones I need – whether it's land or a loan, cost-share options or technical assistance, regulatory and legal information or suppliers and market opportunities. Imagine. All in one place. Dial-up friendly. It's no pipe dream, because I know that at least 15 other states around the country have "farmlink" programs that do this sort of thing for beginning farmers.
But in 2008, Oregon wasn't one of those states. Instead, my first year of farm start-up was a haphazard year of groping and hoping, as I sought out assistance and scrabbled through on a lot of grit and a little money. I put my shoulder to a thousand boulders, some of which revealed little-known gems like the Individual Development Account (IDA) matched savings program (see page 15). Other stones that I had assumed would be foundational failed me. Take, for instance, the day I went to the USDA Farm Service Agency (FSA) seeking a low interest beginning farmer loan for my irrigation system, but was turned away because I was operating on leased land (no matter that I have a lifelong lease agreement with my landlord, aka my mother). Soon after, and sick to my stomach, I had to apply for a zero percent credit card, which floated the farm through its spring cash flow crisis when I was hemorrhaging start-up money and not making a dime.
As it turns out, there were also stones that went unturned because I never knew they were there, like the irrigation cost-share program offered by USDA's Natural Resource Conservation Service (NRCS). I am still kicking myself over this one, for had I been savvy to the program it could have covered up to 80 percent of the cost of my irrigation project - by far the most expensive infrastructure investment I had to make on the farm, the one that necessitated the credit card, and the one that brought me to the brink of a nervous breakdown last May. The salt in the wound was later learning that the NRCS office was but one door down from FSA, its sister USDA agency. The fact that FSA never sent me over to NRCS - even after they denied my irrigation loan – is baffling. By the time I found out about the cost-share program, it was already too late; the mainline was long charged to the credit card and buried in the ground.
The rocky road I traveled during my first year redoubled my conviction about the need for an Oregon farmlink program. Considering the fact that I was relatively well prepared to take the leap into independent farming, it was still a tough go. I'd spent two years planning; had penny-pinched together $15,000 in savings; was well-practiced at living frugally; had written a business plan; created detailed financial projections and crop plans; was proficient with Quickbooks and Excel; knew production specialists at our land grant university; had contacts at lending institutions; was surrounded by a circle of farmer friends; had family land that I could lease; plenty of moral support; good market access; two academic degrees in sustainable agriculture; and had managed other farms for five years before I took the leap. Hell, I'd even taught farm start-up classes to other aspiring farmers.
And I still scrabbled my way through.
Perhaps struggling through the first year is an inevitable and universal experience for any new business, but I'd like to think that starting a farm could be something shy of impossible for the average aspirant. I'd like to think that even someone who didn't have the advantage of family land, who hadn't grown up on a farm, and who didn't already belong to a community of farmers could – without running oneself completely ragged – have a chance at coaxing a viable living out of the ground.
Why wish these things? For one, because our food supply seems headed onto thin ice as established farmers get steadily older and young farmers get scarcer. The most recent 2007 agricultural census puts the average age of U.S. farmers at 57, and climbing. In Oregon, out of 38,553 farms, the total number operated by people under the age of 25 is 109 – not even one percent. In striking contrast, growers age 65 or older number 11,052, accounting for nearly one-third of all Oregon farmers and ranchers.
At the same time that our farm pop-ulation ages and shrinks, global population is growing exponentially – pegged to reach nine billion by 2050. These population trends, coupled with imminent petroleum shortfalls, have peak oil experts predicting that we'll need 50 million new farmers by the middle of this century. These kinds of numbers point to the definite – and urgent – need to get more farmers in the pipeline.
I also wish that it were easier to get into farming because it's a career and a lifestyle that is more grounded and gratifying than anything I've ever done, even considering my first bruiser of a year. I am adamant that anyone who has the passion for farming should have a fair shot at it.
And finally, because agriculture – at least the diverse, sustainable, local kind that I'm part of - has thus far shown itself to be a resilient thread in the giant, unraveling tapestry that is our economy these days. Our community supported agriculture (CSA) program sold out in three weeks this spring. The waiting list grows daily. The farm is hiring help, not laying people off. And every other locally-geared farmer I talk to around the country, from North Carolina to Vermont to California, is reporting the same thing. Our humble little economy is growing.
Maybe it's scary industrial peanut butter and spinach; maybe it's the realization that buying direct from local farms is usually cheaper than the supermarket; maybe it's flavor or health; maybe it's people's instinct to look closer to home for their basic needs when the global economy is crumbling. Maybe it's all of these things. All I know is that as the world covers its ears against the engine scream of a Wall Street in nosedive, my daily trip to the Post Office finds a mailbox full of checks and handwritten thank-you notes from the community of people I will be feeding this season. Surviving year one – by hook or by crook - has enabled me to be part of this resurgent local food economy, and to make a living doing what I love.
Fortunately, the clarion call for beginning farmer support is starting to be heard. In February, a statewide summit was held in Corvallis to brainstorm ways to better support the next generation of farmers in Oregon, resulting in the creation of a statewide leadership team on beginning farmer issues. At the federal level, the new 2008 Farm Bill established a host of new farmer programs and authorized funding that will be trickling down through USDA agencies like NRCS, FSA, the Agricultural Marketing Service (AMS), and state departments of agriculture over the next five years.
Most hopeful of all, and in answer to my persistent wish, Friends of Family Farmers launched a new program called iFarm Oregon this year, an online database of beginning farmer resources. The site catalogues land opportunities, educational programs, and financial services throughout the region. iFarm is expected to grow and evolve significantly over the coming years, with the goal of serving as a comprehensive farmlink-styled program for the state. This is a tremendous step forward in creating an organized portal to connect Oregon's beginning farmers to key resources. Indeed, had iFarm been at my fingertips I might not have missed that big NRCS boulder with the irrigation cost share program under it.
In combination, these efforts will hopefully melt down some of the barriers facing the next generation of family farmers in Oregon and make it a little less daunting to bite the bullet. Take heart new farmers, and also take heed: there is money, information and assistance out there. Use it. Trundle those boulders where you have to. But no matter what, don't leave your grit and determination behind. I can guarantee you're going to need it…even in year two.

This year, children in local schools will have access to a new kind of school health care.
When a child gets sick and needs to see a doctor, children at some local schools can see a doctor or nurse practitioner from their school nurse's office.
The equipment allows a medical professional to evaluate a student's condition remotely through equipment that allows a school nurse to give information like vital signs to them.
Karen Saffles-Slater, who runs Coordinated School Health for Bradley County Schools, compared it to a specialized version of a video chatting computer program like Skype.
"It's like medical Skyping," Saffles-Slater said.
When nurses at certain schools believe a student may be ill, they can call a medical professional if they have parental permission to do so. Using instruments connected to the computer, the doctor or nurse practitioner on the other end can see what the school nurse can see.
A child's heartbeat and other vital signs can be measured with a nurse using equipment like a stethoscope connected to the computer. A nurse using different instruments to look into a child's ears or throat results in large images of the ears or throat being able to be shown to the person on the receiving end.
This service is being made available in addition to access to the Ronald McDonald Care Mobile, a traveling RV outfitted like a doctor's office that is made available through a partnership that includes the Children's Hospital at Erlanger and SkyRidge Medical Center.
The Bradley Cleveland Public Education Foundation purchased the telemedicine equipment to be used at local schools with funds from a $50,000 United Way Healthy Initiatives grant.
The grant also paid for local school nurses to receive training over the summer on how to use the equipment.
Lynn Voelz, executive director of the foundation, said her organization liked the idea of the telemedicine equipment because it could help students from both local school systems have access to health care they might not otherwise.
"We are all about collaboration between the two school systems," Voelz said.
Reyne Pohl, mobile care supervisor for the Care Mobile, explained that the Ronald McDonald Care Mobile and telemedicine are free to any student under 18 who is uninsured or has TennCare.
Those staffing the mobile health clinic can also see children who have health insurance, and the charge is whatever the insurance company requires for a regular doctor's visit.
With stops at both Bradley County and Cleveland schools, the Care Mobile is open to all students in both school systems.
While it does not currently have Polk County schools on its route, Pohl said it is also available to any Polk County students who can be driven to one of the existing sites.
The clinic follows a set schedule each week.
On Monday, Wednesday and Friday, the Care Mobile is at Waterville Community Elementary School all day, from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m.
On Tuesday, it is at Stuart Elementary from 8 a.m. to noon, and at Arnold Memorial Elementary from 12:30 to 4 p.m.
On Thursday, it is at Blythe-Bower Elementary School from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m.
The schools that currently have telemedicine access are Black Fox Elementary, Mayfield Elementary, Taylor Elementary and Waterville Community Elementary.
"This is a great service," Pohl said. "It's very convenient for students at those schools."
Students of all grade levels from all three area school systems can access the Care Mobile and telemedicine. If a student is not at a school that is not on the Care Mobile's route or does not have telemedicine equipment, a parent has the option to drive his or her child to a school that does.
The county and city school systems' health supervisors expressed optimism for what telemedicine could mean for local students and their families.
Saffles-Slater said it is a service that can allow children without insurance to receive the care they need, and it is also convenient for parents, since some students may be able to receive that care without leaving school.
"It's also going to help children whose parents can't get off work," Saffles-Slater said.
Dee Dee Finison, director of Coordinated School Health for Cleveland City Schools, agreed that it could "expand the opportunities for their health care."
She added that she also sees the possibility of students missing less school in the future because they are able to receive health care at school.
"I think that will really help a lot," Finison said.

Politics and Protests of the Biotech Revolution Recorded: Tuesday, December 13, 2005
For millennia, farmers all over the world have bred crops for their resistance to disease, productivity, and nutritional value. Over the past century, scientists have used increasingly more sophisticated methods for modifying crops at the genetic level. But only since the 1970s have advances in gene-splicing and other aspects of biotechnology upped the ante with the promise of dramatically improved agricultural products. Today, few topics have the power to inspire as much international furor and misinformation as the development and distribution of genetically altered foods. Is public resistance far out of synch with the potential risks? Please join us as Henry Miller, co-author of the new book The Frankenfood Myth, and Bruce Ames, U.C.

REGROUPING: Time Inc. keeps shaking up its magazine operations as it seeks the magic formula. On Monday, the publisher grouped Entertainment Weekly and its Web site, ew.com, into a cluster with People, people.com, People en Español and Style Watch called the Time Inc. Entertainment Group. Paul Caine, group publisher of The People Group, was promoted to president of the division. Dave Morris, president and publisher of EW, will leave the company after 21 years. Coincidentally, EW and People's public relations and finance teams have been working together for more than a year.
Speculation about changes at EW have swirled as the magazine has faced challenges in terms of advertising and circulation. Pages through September fell 9.1 percent from the same period last year, and 7.6 percent in the first three quarters of 2006 compared with the prior year, according to the Publishers Information Bureau. Total paid and verified circulation fell 1.2 percent to 1.8 million for the first six months of 2007 (newsstand sales, about 2 percent of EW's total circulation, fell 19.5 percent during the period), according to the Audit Bureau of Circulations. Under Caine, People's pages are flat at 2,712. Morris' replacement, who will report to Caine, is expected to be named shortly.

How many mgs of Calcium Citrate are in the tabs that you are quartering. I take Cal Citrate in its pure powdered form (NOW brand, Tbsp = 1260 mg), so I need to figure out the equivalent amount to use. Thank you so much for this information |
Yes, if you get four good days out of a cut 'Radio Times,' that's a real improvement. |
- Posted by Strawberryhill 5a IL (My Page) on Thu, Oct 27, 11 at 10:10
Jacqueline and Landperson: My calcium citrate tablet has 250 mg of calcium, so 1/4 of that would be 62 mg, mixed with 1 cup of water. Make sure that your roses OPEN FULLY before you add calcium. All calcium tablets have some sodium in it, and you want the cut flowers to soak up water, and OPEN FULLY, before tighten up cell walls with calcium. I cut Mary Magdalene as a partially opened bud, threw half a tablet at 125 mg per 1 cup water. That was too much, and I jammed its stem with solutes. Mary drooped instantly, refused to open, and I discarded it on day 1. Epsom salt made a stink-bomb out of partially opened Radio Times. So I replaced its water with calcium to perk up the bloom (yes, the petals became rigid instantly with stronger neck). However, I acidentally induced balling on Radio Times, either through Epsom salt, or fixing with calcium before the bloom opened fully. So I replaced with tap water, and Radio Times finally opened. Conclusion: water moves best into bloom to open the petals, when there is NOTHING mixed in, or no solutes to jam the stem. Calcium is good for making the petals and the neck more rigid, after it has FULLY OPENNED with plain water. |
Wowsers! News you can use! Thanks so much!! Kay |
That is really impressive. Thanks for posting the information and the pictures. |

I have not located the original posts supporting this idea, but I do have to wonder if something else is going on. As a plant physiologist, I have trouble believing that you could get enough calcium into a cut flower, in so short a time, to make any difference. On the other hand, the citrate could be used by the flower as a source of energy, and we know that helps -- commercial flower preservatives almost always have citrate in them for precisely that reason. Also, those preservative solutions almost always strongly acidify the water, which makes we wonder, again, about a calcium-based substance that would at best be neutral pH, but in most cases, alkaline. So I'm wondering if the effect being seen here may be due to the citrate. That would still leave the question of why Tums works (CaCO3) -- I tend to doubt that it does, but as I said, have not found the reference about it. Over the years, we've done quite a lot of research on floral preservatives. Generally the often-recommended aspirin has no effect at all. One of the best materials we ever found was one part Sprite (regular, not diet -- you want that high-fructose corn syrup!) to 3 parts water, then with a couple drops of Clorox in a quart of the solution. That mixture gives excellent life to cut flowers. Sprite has citric acid (Hydrogen citrate), simple sugars, and is rather acidic -- the three things we want in a preservative solution. |
Malcolm, I link one of several studies where various calcium salts in the vase water or sprayed on the flower affected botrytis petal blight and/or vase life. Apparently it's the calcium ion per se, and not, in these cases, anything to do with pH. |
Here is a link that might be useful: calcium sulfate etc.
- Posted by Strawberryhill 5a IL (My Page) on Fri, Oct 28, 11 at 15:27
I tested both the calcium solution and the Epsom salt twice with litmus paper. They both are neutral. At ridiculously high concentration of calcium citrate and Epsom salt, the Epsom salt came out slightly alkaline. This surprised me, since Epsom salt is 10% magnesium, and 13% sulfur. Epsom salt gave Radio Times' leaves a tinge of yellow. As a firming agent calcium chloride (extracted from limestone) is used in canned vegetables, in firming soy bean curds into tofu. There's Grafting Paste (white limestone paste) for sealing cuttings: Take cuttings from plumeria, seal the cut end of the parent plant with grafting paste. It has an anti-fungal quality and prevents moisture from getting in the cut end. This is White Limestone Paste from Thailand used in both Thai Cooking and Thai Desserts. Used to make crisp vegetables and in batters for fried foods and pastries." Gypsum has actually been used for more than 2,000 years as a tofu coagulant and can also be used to stiffen flour-based dough. Calcium sulfate can be used to keep fruits and vegetable firm by bonding calcium to the negatively charged carboxylic groups in pectin present in the food to increase the water-holding capacity. |

Thanks Michael for the reference and comments. I can see that it could affect Botrytis, but in the photos above, there is no apparent Botrytis problem. |
Malcolm, in the study they got longer vase life from the gypsum-infused cut roses, apart from the botrytis finding. |

net_applet - Monitor Network/network accounting does nothing
If clicking on "Monitor Network" does nothing, you may need to install vnstat and net_monitor packages. Then you can see the traffic used if you have enabled it for that interface via drakconnect.Code:lsusb, command not found If you need lsusb you should install usbutils.
some hardware doesn't work because it needs firmware
If your hardware doesn't work, you can try to install the kernel-firmware-nonfree package that is in the nonfree repositories and then reboot your computer. After rebooting, check if your hardware is now working. Note : you need this package for the firmware needed by some wifi network card, etc...
Might want to start here to fatten up this thread with some info.

EVENSVILLE — The Bradley Central Bears made their final District 5-AAA trip across the river to Evensville a victorious one as they defeated the Rhea County Golden Eagles 8-1 Monday evening.
Rhea County will join District 6-AAA after this season.
The Eagles will make their final 5-AAA trip to the McKenzie Baseball Complex this evening for a 7 p.m. first pitch.
With the victory the Bears improve to 17-10 on the season and keep pace with cross county rival Walker Valley (16-11) at 8-3 in district play.
Since the Mustangs hold the tiebreaker, Bradley needs a victory tonight and a Walker Valley loss to Soddy-Daisy to move into position as the No. 2 seed for the upcoming 5-AAA tournament.
Bradley jumped on Eagle ace Jalen Smith for three runs in the first inning Monday.
Brently White opened the game with a single, and was followed by base hits from Charles Chavis and Jacob Maynard to load the bases.
Caleb Pippenger singled to plate White with the games first run. Jacob Barnes then hit into a fielder's choice scoring Chavis. Barnes and courtesy runner Chandler Duggan pulled off a successful double steal for the final run of the inning.
The Eagles tried to bounce back in their half of the first, putting runners on the corners with one out against Bears' pitcher Maynard, but the threat was ended as the Bears pulled off an inning-ending double play.
The Bears added two more runs in the second, chasing Smith.
With one out, Baylor Terrell was hit by a pitch, White drew a base on balls, and a ground ball by Chavis forced White at second but the Eagles were unable to double up the speedy Chavis. Maynard then followed with a double in the left-center field gap chasing home both Terrell and Chavis with his team leading 24th RBI of the season.
Rhea County scored its lone run in the home half of the fourth. Hunter Scoons reached base on a Bear error. He reached third as Maynard uncorked a pair of pitches that Pippenger wasn't able to block. Scoons scored on a sacrifice fly off the bat of Hunter McClendon.
Bradley tacked on a single run in sixth as pinch hitter Ryan Blair drilled a double to center with one out. Caleb Pace came on to run for Blair, and White coaxed his second free pass of the game following an infield out. Pace scored as he and White pulled off the Bears' second double steal of the game.
The Bears ended any hopes the Eagles had for a comeback by pushing across a pair of runs in the seventh.
Pippenger led off with his second single of the night, Barnes was "plunked" and Jacob Fowler beat out an infield hit, loading the bases with none out.
Cal Pickel lifted a fly ball to center with Pippenger apparently scoring. Rhea County appealed the play saying that Pippenger had left the bag too soon. The appeal was upheld, taking the run off the board.
Pace then drew a walk, loading the sacks again. Terrell singled to right to drive in both Barnes and Fowler.
"We were able to put some runs up early and make some good defensive plays. Jacob (Maynard) had a rough start to the game giving up a couple of hits in the first, but he settled down after that and allowed only two hits the rest of the way. The double play that got us out of the first was huge, it took the momentum from them, and Jacob held them from there," said Bear head coach Travis Adams.

Opinion: Leaders or Scoundrels? 2010 Election Could Change Everything Comments
It's appalling that so many men and women without honor are rising to positions of consequence. What has happened to honor? Give me a man who would rather die than behave dishonorably. Give me a woman who will not degrade herself or spill her own child's blood. Give me a leader who inspires by virtue of his character and actions. Give me a leader who serves. I still believe there are men and women with honor out there and they ... Continue Reading

Rob, in one of your comments, you illuded to the idea that Republicans talk a Pro-Life line but do nothing. I just want to remind you that back in 1995 the Republican controlled congress passed a law banning partial birth abortion. If you remember, it was fought tooth and nail by the Clinton Admin and the Democrat Party. You might remember that there were a number of states that were controlled by Republicans that passed ant-abortion laws. The Terri Schiavo case in 2005 came down to Republicans stating she has a right to live while the Democrat Party insisted that she die. Pres Bush gave an executive order to defund abortions WHILE Obama reinstated the funds for abortion. The Republicans have been very active against the Death Culture.

Well said Jennifer & that goes not only to the USA but worldwide. We need good leader not puppets on a string. Unfortunately, that's what's happening today in this world. We need to pray for love, peace & justice.

Rob, I vote as close as I can get to the "CCC 2nd Ed". Each Party chooses their own paths, and the rest of us must determine good vs evil based upon those paths. Sometimes I can vote for a good candidate, sometimes the lessor of the evils. Lack of action is not the same as promoting an evil. The Dems - Pres, Senate & House are promoters of baby killing in doing away with the Hyde Amendment and taking tax dollars for abortions in the US, at the UN and as requirements of foreign aide to poor Countries. Follow the statement of Pope Benedict: - " It would be completely false and illusory to defend, political, economic or social rights which do not comprehend a vigorous defense of the right to life from conception to natural end. When it comes to defending the weakest, who is more defenseless than an unborn child or a patient in a vegetative or comatose state? " The Obama/Hillary duo are very damaging to respect for life in this Country.

Well said Jennifer. I wish our president would man up already. It's unfortunate that the administration has chosen to engage in the political fight in congress. Our entire house and senate is a joke. And he had a chance and still does to rise above it. And if he did, it would only go further to show all the games that have been played since he took office.

Jeffrey, I appreciate your kind words. I don't mind energetic discussion, even disagreement. As far as this article goes, if it seems to you I singled out the Dems and Obama, it's because he's the one in the White House right now. He's the one with the Presidential seal on his podium everywhere he goes. He promised to be the great Uniter, the post-partisan President, and his words and actions have been precisely the opposite. In the last week, he's publicly called the Republicans the "enemy." Rather than appealing to Americans, he singles out specific groups like Latinos and African-Americans; he portrays the Republicans as stupid and tells them to take a back seat. It's smug and condescending and it's beneath the Office. It may not be beneath him, but it's beneath the Office. Just a few of the reasons why I do not consider him a leader in any capacity. I'm not suggesting the GOP is full of saints and angels. I'm only saying I'm praying for a genuine leader; for many genuine leaders to fill Congress (and the White House in 2 years). Bless you, Jeffrey. May God have mercy on our country.

Anne, I would also contend that the lack of action on the part of the GOP is an approval of the dems platform. Nothing is changing in regards to abortion in this country. Given the lack of congressional action regarding abortion, I am beginning to think that there is not much difference between supporting abortion in your platform and failing to legislate when you have the power to do so. And quite honestly, I am begginning to think that the latter is worse. But regardless, they both have the same ends, abortion remains. But if all we are going to do as Republicans is point our finger at the other guy and do nothing legislatively, then I'm not sure what reasons I would have to continue to vote for the GOP. Other than that, there isn't a whole lot of difference these days.

Ms. Hartline,
Before I dust myself off from the fray that has been "Opinion: Leaders or Scoundrels? 2010 Election Could Change Everything", I wish to address something to you directly. As I have mentioned, we will probably differ on a lot of issues politically, but that does not make you, or me for that matter, any less Christian; it merely means that, while our goals are not that different, we do differ, sometimes sharply, on how to achieve those goals. What I wish to address is that I think that there have been a few statements in this forum directed at you that were, in my estimation, unfair. While I make it a point to be as fair as possible regardless of just how much I may differ in opinion, there will be times that I may say or write something that sounded more fair in my mind than in the mind of others. If that happened in this forum, I ask pardon and wish you peace. And I pray that, regardless of the outcome on Tuesday, we can sheath our swords and actually discuss and solve our problems, which are many, in a civil, Christian manner, recognizing that while we may not have all of the answers, God does. May He direct our minds and our hearts. -

What is more EVIL than - you must allow the killing of babies or we will not give you money for food and medical supplies? ! ! This is the Obama/Clinton policy at the UN, and withholding foreign aid to poor Countries who will not submit to abortion demands. - Truly the ugly Americans.

Sarah Palin appears to have always been pro-life. This is evidenced by the birth of her known to be handicapped baby, and the birth of her young daughter's baby. She in no way compares to Obama-ites 1.3M abortions in just the USA in 2009 - not including his funding promoting of abortion at the UN and in foreign aid. - - - - - - - - -Rob, none of us should be tied to a Party. There are good and bad in both parties, unfortunately the Dems have had abortion as part of their Party platform for several years. Prayer is critical - - - - - - - - Jeffery, "none of the above" is something my husband and I have been wanting for years. There are some good candidates in 2010. In CA search the internet for "CALIFORNIA PROLIFE COUNCIL" - they published an excellent Voters Guide. - - - - - - - - Some you will be Voting for because they are good candidates, others will be the lessor of the evils. - - - - - - We are all required to VOTE. See CCC 2240 which states we are morally obligated to VOTE. - - - - - - - - - In closing Pope Benedict's words are significantly more important than mine. Pope Benedict - - " It would be completely false and illusory to defend, political, economic or social rights which do not comprehend a vigorous defense of the right to life from conception to natural end. When it comes to defending the weakest, who is more defenseless than an unborn child or a patient in a vegetative or comatose state? "

I will quote myself on this one.
"Whether the next Congress is controlled by Democrats or Republicans, I can assure you that their objective is not a just society; it is to blame each other for the presence of an unjust society. I promise you that, at this moment, neither Barrack Obama nor Sarah Palin are the least bit concerned about creating a Christian society."
In other words, it really does not matter who wins this election, neither side really cares about right or wrong; only the accumulation of power, which is why I have argued for years that expecting political action to build a just society is misplaced confidence.
Just in passing, another thing I have argued against over the years is attempting to pass our personal political convictions and prejudices off as religious dogma. Just as you can scour the Catechism of the Catholic Church for a few phrases or words to support your reasons for voting Republican, I can scour the Bible, Compendium of the Social Doctrine of the Church, the Catechism of the Catholic Church and pastoral letters issued by the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops for phrases and words to support me voting otherwise. But as to making my personal politics (Actually my personal politics are more of a lack thereof) religious dogma, I choose not to be presumptuous.
However, how I choose to vote or the rationale that I use to determine my vote is irrelevant to this forum; I neither advocate voting Republican nor voting Democrat (I rather wish California had a "None of the above" choice). My sole response to Ms. Hartline was that if we are going to chastise President Obama and the Democratic party for reprehensible behavior and rhetoric that is smug, condescending, and insulting, we need to be fair and chastise all politicians, even the Republican Party who have been equally as reprehensible, smug, condescending and insulting. I also mentioned the general incivility that has permeated this election season, with both sides of the aisle equally guilty, with Christians among them. I did, however, advocate Christians remaining above the fray as much as possible and praying that civil, Christian charity find its way into the political environment, and environment that is currently the realm of the ruthless. I still advocate prayer.

How many points does lebron james average per game
What is Lebron James average points scored in one game?
I am a big Lebron James fan,but I just can't find the average points scored so can you please help me.
lebrons ppg or points per game average for this season is 28.4 points.
his career average is 27.5 points per game.

All this info can be found by reading those page or following various notes.

this is the link you should follow
hope i helped
What are your thoughts on Lebron James averaging just 14 points per game in the last 3 NBA Finals games?
Lebron James "the best player in the NBA" scored 17 points in game 3, 8 points in game 4, and 17 points in game 5. Lebron James is shooting just 36% from the field and 9% from 3pt in the last 3 games. I ask you would the best player in the NBA put up these numbers in the NBA Finals?
This is the turning point of the career. He has lost the little public support he still had. He has not backed up his talk on the court. This is the beginning of the downfall of LBJ, true character comes out in your toughest moments (the finals).
Is it possible Lebron James will be as good or better than Michael Jordan?
Also, which one would you choose for now? Lebron James as King James? Or Michael Jordan as Air Jordan?
Yes it is possible, Most people will disagree with you and say that NO one ever in history will ever be greater than Jordan, But in actuality the only reason why people consider Jordan the best is mostly because of his 6 championships and his scoring titles. Lebron actually has a better ability to score the basketball than Michael Jordan, Lebron is all about team work so he gives up some of his own looks at the basket for his teammates. He is all about making his team better.
Both were and are great leaders but lebron in my opinion is a much better leader than Jordan and did not make his teammates better like Lebron has done.
Lebron actually has the ability to score around 35- 38 points per game. Lebron is 3rd all time in career points per game.
Dont get me wrong Jordan changed the game of basketabll forevor his overall athletisism and dominate ability to score the basketaball. but lebron brings a another type of dominace to the game, he is practically unguardable no matter who you put on him and is on his way to break many records
2. Suppose NBA player LeBron James is averaging thirty points per game going into the last game of the season?
2. Suppose NBA player LeBron James is averaging thirty points per game going into the last game of the season in which he collects forty points, thereby changing his average for the season. To use an analogy in economics, it could be said that A. average product increases when total product increases. B. average product increases when marginal product exceeds average product. C. average product increases when average product exceeds marginal product. D. average product increases when marginal product increases. E. average product increases whenever marginal product is positive.
The answer is B.Average product will reach the maximum point when MP=AP. AP will increase when MP>AP, decrease when MP<AP. I'm not a fan of his game by the way.
who won this season between the heat and cavs? and who had more points? lebron james or dwayne wade?
what is the average of dwayne wades points and lebrons points when they match up with each other
The Cavs are 3-1 this season vs The Heat
Game 1: Lebron: 33pts, Wade: 29 pts Cavs win
Game 2: Lebron 38 pts, Wade 21 pts Heat win
Game 3: Lebron 42 pts, Wade 41 pts Cavs win
Game 4: Lebron 14 pts, Wade 25 pts Cavs win
Overall Lebron outscored Wade 127 to 116 in the 4 games they met, so lebron has 11 more points than wade in all of their meetings this year.

Former African empire around Lake Chad. It was ruled by the Sef dynasty in the 9th–19th century. Its territory at various times included what is now southern Chad, northern Cameroon, northeastern Nigeria, eastern Niger, and southern Libya. Probably founded in the mid-9th century, it became an Islamic state at the end of the 11th century. Its location made it a trading hub between North Africa, the Nile Valley, and the sub-Saharan region. From the 16th century Kanem-Bornu, sometimes called simply Bornu, was extended and consolidated. The Sef dynasty died out in 1846.

Historical region, northeastern Nigeria. Prominent physical features include a vast plain, a volcanic plateau, and swamps south of Lake Chad. Now inhabited chiefly by the Kanuri people, it constituted a Muslim kingdom from about the 11th century. Together with Kanem it later formed an empire (see Kanem-Bornu), which reached the height of its power circa 1570–1600. In 1902 it became part of Nigeria, which was then under British rule. The region is largely contained in Nigeria's present-day state of Borno.

After Munni, Sheila, Jalebi bai and Chikni chameli...it's the new song Channo...from Rumy Jafery's Gali Gali Chor Haithat's making waves.
Ask the director why did he choose Veena Malik for Channoand he says, "Well we were discussing on many names from which some had date problems, some were not suiting the song. It was then that choreographer Ahmed Khan suggested Veena Malik's name saying she's very good at dancing and would suit the best. And must say she's a very dedicated actress, even in this chilling winter where everybody was in overcoats and sweater on the sets, Veena shot the song continuously for three days at Karzat.
Everybody on the sets was shocked to see her dedication."" And what about the on-going trend of item numbers? To this the director replies, 'I'm not on for item numbers which are fitted these days at the beginning or end of the film to gain publicity which has no relevance to the film. It's just cheating with the audience. Thus, I won't call Channoan item number because it's a situational song which was the need of the script."
