New York Fashion Weak
New York's sprawling fashion week needs a better signal-to-noise ratio, reports Angelo Flaccavento.
New York's sprawling fashion week needs a better signal-to-noise ratio, reports Angelo Flaccavento.
The third Vogue Festival held over the weekend in London's Southbank showcased the power of brand Vogue, and the breadth of its ambition in fashion education.
Proenza Schouler faultlessly delivered on their show notes, giving the fashion crowd volume on volume, pattern on pattern, texture on texture and colour on colour, writes Jessica Michault.
Fashion brands, both emerging and established, have been investing significant resources in building and maintaining their archives. BoF investigates.
In what has become a bi-annual BoF tradition, editor-in-chief Imran Amed looks back at the fashion season that's just come to a close.
NEW YORK, United States — Straight from day seven of New York Fashion Week, BoF's contributing photographer Sonny Vandevelde brings us backstage images from the Michael Kors, Proenza Schouler, Jeremy Scott, Reed Krakoff, Anna Sui and Dion Lee shows.
No longer confined to the fringes of fashion, the goth aesthetic is being mined by a wider spectrum of designers, observes Eugene Rabkin.
PARIS, France — Rag & Bone, Marchesa and Proenza Schouler, among the top in their class of cool, youngish New York-based fashion houses, took a field trip to China recently to start a dialogue with consumers there as they all have their eye on expansion. What they learned: Customers want something unique.
In a three-part report, BoF examines New York City's ever-shifting retail landscape. Yesterday, we considered the rise and recasting of the Meatpacking District. Today, we examine the renaissance of Soho.

BoF editor-in-chief Imran Amed recaps the week's top developments in the business of fashion.
Perhaps more than any other label, Proenza Schouler have proven that it's not only possible but powerful to cultivate an unmistakably high concept, luxury fashion brand and embrace contemporary Internet culture at the same time.
NEW YORK, United States — "Are we failing to fulfil the potential of fashion film?" asked Quynh Mai's Op-Ed for BoF earlier this year, citing misallocated budgets, uncompelling content, poor distribution strategies and established power structures that favour still photographers. Indeed, it's fair to say that, while seasonal fashion shorts have become an essential part of the marketing toolbox for megabrands and emerging labels

Target under fire for labeling plus-sized dress 'manatee gray,' different from regular dress
Outraged customer takes to Twitter
Target is changing the way it labels clothing after a customer upset with the "manatee gray" description on a plus-sized dress took to Twitter.
Susan Clemens, 49, a self-described "plus size" woman from California, tweeted out pictures of a plus-sized dress on Target.com being described as "manatee gray," while the regular size in the same dress was described as "dark heather gray, ABC News reported .
Her outrage spread on social media, eventually reaching Target officials, who apologized to Clemens and offered an explanation.
"It was never our intention to offend our guests," Target spokeswoman Jessica Deede told ABCNews.com. "We heard from our guest. We apologized and we are working to fix it ASAP."
Target says its labels across the board will now simply say "gray."

(CNN) — It's probably safe to say that college students know a thing or two about beer.
Now, they can take their love of the brew right into the classroom. A university in Canada is serving up a very refreshing new program.
"That's what it'll look like before it goes into the tank," says Nick Bolton.
Nick Bolton knows his beer but not just from years of quaffing, but from years of actually making the stuff.
"Nothing fancy, it's just two packs of dried yeast whenever I put some in," said Bolton.
Bolton is the head brewer at the Big Ridge Brewing in Surrey, one of the many craft beer businesses that have barreled into BC.
"We have all these breweries starting up around here, there's a culture for it. Everybody wants craft beer around now," said Bolton.
Bolton had to go out-of-province, then out-of-country to learn how to brew a good beer. But not anymore!
"Right now this is a teaching facility and a brew lab is allowed."
Beginning this September, Kwantlen Polytechnic University will be serving up the first brewing diploma program in the province.
They'll be building a lab as Kwantlen gets a new nickname...Brew U.
"The students will be able to use the fruits and vegetables produced by our horticulture students as part of their formulation of their signature beers so the synergy is great."
It promises to be a well rounded program about the science and business of brewing, including marketing, even the design of logos and labels. It will be science and savvy that will spill over into an industry overflowing with opportunity.
"Adding an education system where they'll really hit the ground running, coming into their position without having to have it explained to them from the base level from the people that will be hiring them."
BC's micro-beer industry has seen 20 percent growth in sales every year since 2006.
Now that industry will have an educated work force on tap.

It's a good idea to purchase flood insurance whether you rent or own the condominium. Home insurance and renters insurance do not cover flood damage.
Let Insurance.com help you find affordable home insurance now.
Most flood insurance is provided through the National Flood Insurance Program. The policies, backed by the federal government, are sold by private insurance companies and agents. You can find a link to local agents who sell flood insurance on the NFIP Floodsmart.gov website.
You can buy flood insurance if your community participates in the program, with one exception. You are ineligible for flood insurance if your condominium was built after 1982 and is in a federally defined Coastal Barrier Resources System. Land in the system includes ocean and Great Lakes coastal areas that are protected from development to provide a buffer between storms and inland areas.
Don't count on the condo association's flood insurance policy to protect you. That policy protects common areas and the building, but not any of your possessions. If you own the condo, then it's a good idea to get building and contents coverage to cover structural elements of your unit and your belongings. If you rent, you can buy a flood insurance policy that covers contents only.
Flood insurance offers replacement coverage for the structure of a dwelling, but only gives you actual cash value coverage for belongings. That means you only are reimbursed for the cost of the item when it was new, minus depreciation.
Flood insurance also does not include additional living expenses coverage, which pays for the extra costs you incur if you can't live in your condo while it's undergoing repair from a covered loss.
To learn more about what flood insurance does and doesn't cover, see "5 ways flood insurance may soak you."

The Link Between Depression and Dementia
Learn what one study revealed about how battling the blues affects the brain
By Barbara Brody
Special Offer
Being depressed takes a real toll on your physical health, raising your risk for heart disease and diabetes. Now a study in the journal Neurology reports that older adults who suffered from depression were twice as likely to have developed dementia (including Alzheimer's) by the follow-up 17 years later. Many changes in the brain are linked to depression, and it's possible that some of them predispose you to memory problems, says Sanford Auerbach, MD, one of the study authors. The key to noticing depression in an aging parent is not mistaking the symptoms for normal signs of getting older, says Dr. Auerbach. In particular, watch out for:
• Changes in sleeping patterns, such as a "morning person" who now sleeps very late
• Loss of interest in the activities that he used to enjoy, such as pursuing hobbies or spending time with friends
• Lack of attention and focus (he seems more aloof or forgetful)
• Weight loss or changes in appetite
If any of these changes happens abruptly, encourage your parent to see his primary care doctor, who can figure out what's going on. And if it does turn out to be depression, keep in mind that some older people may be uncomfortable with that diagnosis; emphasizing that it's a treatable medical condition may help, says Dr. Auerbach.

Connecticut U.S. Sens. Chris Murphy and Richard Blumenthal, held a press conference March 17 in Hartford to discuss the "growing heroin epidemic" in the state.
Over the last decade heroin use has nearly doubled nationwide, and Connecticut has seen a spike in the number of heroin-related deaths, the senators said in a statement.
"It's an issue that we have, unfortunately, become increasingly more aware of, particularly the transition from prescription drugs into heroin use," Justin Carbonella said. Carbonella serves as co-chair on the Middletown Substance Abuse Prevention Council as well as the Middletown Youth Services Coordinator.
Carbonella said that the council is working on promoting awareness and prevention of prescription drug abuse, which is known to be a gateway to heroin use.
In Middletown, efforts are being made to organize a prescription drug buyback, Carbonella said.
Deputy Chief John Klett of the Berlin Police Department said Berlin has dealt with some heroin cases on occasion, but that he does not personally know of any cases where heroin was found mixed with the prescription medication fentanyl, which may be responsible for the increased fatalities.
"Fentanyl is a very powerful medication," Victoria Richards, associate professor of medical sciences at the Frank H. Netter MD School of Medicine at Quinnipiac University said.
Fentanyl, like heroin, is an opiate-derivative, Richards explained. Fentanyl is sometimes mixed with heroin to produce a more potent drug, but fentanyl carries with it a much greater risk of respiratory depression, which can be fatal. The mixing of the drugs may cause users to overdose by accident. The deaths are not being caused by a drug reaction, but by an overdose of two opium derivatives that both cause respiratory depression by the same chemical mechanism, Richards said.
Fentanyl is very useful in surgical settings and for treating cancer pain, Richards said, but it is important that the public be educated on the dangers of recreational use of opiates.
Murphy and Blumenthal called for legislation that would allow police officers to carry and deliver an antidote drug that Richards said is very effective in treating respiratory depression caused by both heroin and fentanyl. This antidote works by blocking the chemical receptors for both opiates, quickly lifting patients out of respiratory depression and saving lives if administered in time.
Police officers are often the first on the scene when an overdose is reported.
In North Haven, there is a prescription drug take-back event twice a year, which allows people to dispose of prescription medications quickly, safely, and with no questions asked. The next disposal drive will be April 26.
North Haven has also seen some recent success in tracking down narcotics dealers. "The reason for that is the investment we have made in K-9 units," North Haven First Selectman Michael Freda explained.
The North Haven Police Department reported on Facebook Feb. 1 that it had apprehended an alleged North Haven heroin supplier with the assistance of the K-9, Zeus.
"The men and women of the North Haven Police Department have done an outstanding job in breaking up potential drug distribution networks," Freda said.
"There is a problem in North Haven as there is in other communities regarding drug abuse," Freda said.
Freda said it is important not to minimize the problem, because saving even one life through prevention or intervention is invaluable.
In addition to prevention through prescription drug disposal and law enforcement, there are addiction services available in every community.
Assistant Community Services Director in Berlin, Doug Truitt, said that he is able to connect residents to a wide variety of addiction treatment services, including private organizations that take medical insurance for treatment.

Formal assembly of Welsh bards and minstrels that originated in the traditions of medieval court bards. Early eisteddfods were competitions of musicians (especially harpists) and poets from which new musical, literary, and oratorical forms emerged. The assembly at Carmarthen in 1451 authoritatively established the arrangement of the strict metres of Welsh poetry. The modern annual National Eisteddfod, revived in the 19th century, includes awards for music, prose, drama, and art, but the investiture of the winning poet remains its high point.

Ouch! A review of Bishopess Jefferts-Schori's new book
From Virtueonline.org:
She tells us what to do about any problem in glib and superficial terms that include disparate advice such as to eat our protein, wash our dishes by hand, celebrate layoffs in the Episcopal Church, support the Obama health care bill, call ourselves beloved, criticize the Archbishop of Canterbury Rowan Williams, make the United States government limit capitalistic profits, declare unity in the Episcopal Church, and plant gardens on the church lawns.
Jefferts Schori bounces from one subject to another with the rapidity of a writer not disciplined by transitional ideas or even rational thought. On page 23 within four sentences, Jefferts Schori drags in, with her typical pell-mell fashion, Katrina and its aftermath, genocide in Rwanda, global AIDS, torture for terrorists, and health care reform in our country. With all her vast pronouncements, she doesn't even bother with a bibliography to support her ideas and includes only seven notes for quotes (two of which are from the Book of Common Prayer).
The only really clear part of this book is that Jefferts Schori supports the Obama health care bill.
Jefferts Schori also criticizes those who evangelize by telling others about Jesus Christ. She praises a man who came to her same conclusion, writing, "He said he finally learned that his job wasn't to get somebody to say a verbal formula about accepting Jesus as personal Lord and savior, but to make a space that was safe enough for others to say what they really think and feel."(75) She taunts both those who evangelize for Jesus and those who accept His ministry. She says about the leper who received healing from Jesus, "Actually, he's a bit whiny about it."(22)
Time and time again, Jefferts Schori reveals that she has no depth conception of the struggles involved with working out one's salvation with fear and trembling. (Philippians 2:12) Faithful people who testify that Jesus is Lord might actually have accepted Him as their Savior, in the midst of severe hardships, and, in doing so, found the great redemption of our Lord.
That apparently means nothing to Jefferts Schori. She declares her easy Islamic theology about the Beloved by commanding everyone to claim the divine baptismal promise given only to Jesus. Beginning with the scripture from Luke 3:22, Jefferts Schori writes, "'You are my beloved, and in you I am well pleased.' If we're willing to risk hearing that and being transformed by it, we have begun to participate in Jesus' reality. It is a hopeful saying for most of us-we don't quite believe that we can be all that pleasing to God, because we think we know more about ourselves than God does. But it was also an aspiration in Jesus' ears-he aspired to live into the fullness of God's intent."(121)
Jesus aspired to live into this? I might aspire to write something like Tolstoy's War and Peace but whether this will happen is surely in question. So Jesus aspired to live into the fullness of God's intent? Does she mean Jesus maybe hoped to do something like God might have wanted? Jesus sounds like a pretty foggy character here, not anything like the powerful revelation of the Godhead the Gospels portray.

Members of Suffolk County Council have voted themselves a 1% increase in allowances for the next four years.
And they have also approved making an allowance available to the chair of county's new Health and Wellbeing board.
The move, which was recommended by an independent panel and had the backing of the ruling Conservative group, was approved by 40 votes to 6 with 14 abstentions.
The main opposition Labour Party abstained in the vote – the group's deputy leader Bryony Rudkin had said that the group felt it was wrong for councillors to have to vote on their own allowances, they should be set by the government.
Council leader Mark Bee had said he would support the move because it was modest, and it would represent the only increase for the next four years.
He said he would only be supporting the rise because council workers were also being offered a 1% rise this year – it would have been wrong for councillors to support any increase in allowances if staff were still facing a pay freeze.
The increase, to come in from April 1, will see the basic allowance for councillors increase by £102 a year, from £10,172 to £10,174 a year.
The total allowance for council leader Mark Bee will go up by £356 from £35,602 to £35,958.

Joke ,full stop. £36,000 a year ,any jobs going. I'm good at worrying about my own little world and not looking at the overall picture. Lets see a fully list of item claimed for and paid for.
Sunday, March 23, 2014
WHO IS THE HEALTH AND WELLBEING BOARD.?we have hospitals , doctors etc [ where did this one come from?]
Saturday, March 22, 2014
£36,000 a year plus special responsibility allowances, travel and subsistence, carers allowances for kids, attending meetings allowance of more £80 for each 4 hours (paid for only 5 mins attendance) and much more becomes well over £50,000 a year for doing very little. What is more if heshe is also a district councillor they get it twice for doing virtually the same job and it is all PENSIONABLE and paid on top of any public pension already received. Not bad money
Sunday, March 23, 2014
Do we really need the County Council? It seems to just cost an awful lot to ignore local issues and achieve very little! Does anyone know let alone engage with their County Councillor? Time for positive tax payer saving action and disband it.
Sunday, March 23, 2014
Wish I got allowances with my job. Even better if I could vote on my own rise in allowances. But alas I live in the real world.
Saturday, March 22, 2014
On behalf of all Suffolk residents I'm sure that we all think this "pay rise" is well deserved. Let's be honest they have worked very hard to save money to fund this by reducing and cutting much needed services to the local population. This hard work in reducing services is thus naturally rewarded with a "bonus" to their wallets and purses financed from these savings. Enjoy your extra money Cllr Bee and colleagues, we all think you richly deserve it, not least for your expertise in the new traffic system in Ipswich town centre. Well done to you all.
Saturday, March 22, 2014
Unclear what allowance means. Is it pay or or to compensate for loss of earnings? What about expenses (travel)? Is that included in this sum or paid on top? Presumably the payment isn't forced on members so individually they could decide not to accept it. How many have turned it down?
Saturday, March 22, 2014
And jolly well deserved as i am sure we will all agree - i wonder if there was any chance that they weren't going to award themselves this slap on the back
Saturday, March 22, 2014
Why doesn't Mark Bee buzz off? lol Why is he pictured at the Waterfront when SCC hates Ipswich? So 40 votes for and 20 votes against.

Riggle Allegedly Held Firearm To Girlfriend's, Then Own HeadAugust 5, 2013Adam Riggle allegedly held a gun to his girlfriend's head and his own head before fleeing the scene of an incident last week that earned him wanton endangerment and domestic violence charge.... bloominIf he had not fired the shots, it would be a he said/she said. It is all too common, yet most are not prosecuted because they are calculated and smart enough to not fire shots. Women often do not even report it. Its like being raped by a partner-can you prove it? If you live in the ohio valley and do not have proof (at very least -solid witnesses), do yourself a favor, keep it to yourself as those who we depend on for help will only further objectify and humiliate you.

During the recent Republican presidential debate, the moderator asked nine candidates to raise their hands if they "didn't believe in evolution." Senator Sam Brownback, Governor Mike Huckabee, and Representative Tom Tancredo raised their hands. Last week, Brownback wrote a New York Times op-ed attempting to explain his reasoning. You can read it here. The op-ed reveals nothing more than Brownback's complete misunderstanding of evolutionary biology and, worse, a total rejection of science. In the new edition of John Brockman's EDGE, University of Chicago professor of ecology and evolution Jerry Coyne, author of Speciation, lays out the idiocy Brownback's comments. From Coyne's essay:
Whether he knows it or not, Brownback's forthright declarations, denying any possibility that empirical matters of fact might differ from those assumed by his creed, amount to nothing less than a rejection of the whole institution of science. Who is "we", and where did "our" conviction and certainty come from? Would Brownback believe these "spiritual truths" if he hadn't been taught them as a child, or brought up in the United States instead of China?Link
According to Brownback, we should reject scientific findings if they conflict with our faith, but accept them if they're compatible. But the scientific evidence says that humans are big-brained, highly conscious apes that began evolving on the African savannah four million years ago. Are we supposed to reject this as "atheistic theology" (an oxymoron if there ever was one)?

Chevrolet claimed another clean sweep for the podium of the second race, with Rob Huff crossing the line first ahead of Yvan Muller and Alain Menu. This enabled the Englishman to stretch his championship lead by 7 further points.
The key moment of the race happened at the beginning of lap 8, when Muller tried to overtake Menu who was leading at the end of the pit straight. They made contact and Huff took the opportunity to jump ahead of them both. In the final part of the race Muller recovered the second position, but Huff had built a solid gap by then.
The trio of Chevrolet cars was followed by a trio of BMW cars, with Tom Coronel, Stefano D'Aste and Mehdi Bennani finishing in fourth, fifth and sixth; the Italian claimed his second victory of the day in the Yokohama Trophy.
Gabriele Tarquini was classified seventh, ahead of Colin Turkington who managed to prevail after a race-long tough battle with Tom Boardman, Alberto Cerqui and Tiago Monteiro.

Chicken-and-Cheese Taquitos
by Robin Miller in Uncategorized, April 2, 2013
A taquito (pronounced ta-kito) is a rolled up, filled tortilla that's deep-fried until golden brown and crisp. In the classic Mexican dish, also known as a flauta, the tortilla is typically corn and the filling is beef or chicken. Taquitos are amazingly crunchy and delicious, and they make a fun hand-held treat. Problem is, depending on the filling, ONE taquito can have 200-500 calories, 8-28 grams of fat and 350-1,134 mg of sodium. And nobody eats just one. Since I want you to enjoy all the flavors without all of the calories, I revamped the dish to make it Healthy Eats-friendly. Not just friendly — consider this taquito your new best pal! The filling is a savory blend of grilled chicken, salsa and sharp cheddar cheese. And by baking the rolled tortillas instead of deep-frying, I was able to shed hundreds of calories and milligrams of sodium and dozens of fat grams. Check them out and let me know what you think!
Note: I used a regular store-bought salsa for the filling so choose your favorite variety or make one from scratch. The best ingredients for salsa are fresh diced tomatoes, diced green bell pepper, jalapeno pepper, white onion, cilantro and fresh lime juice.
Chicken and Cheese Taquitos
Cooking spray
2 boneless skinless chicken breast halves (about 4 ounces each)
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 cup prepared salsa (select your favorite variety)
4 ounces shredded sharp cheddar cheese
16 corn tortillas
16 wooden picks
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
Coat a stove-top grill pan or griddle with cooking spray and preheat to medium-high. Season both sides of the chicken with salt and pepper. Add the chicken to the hot pan and cook for 5 to 7 minutes per side, until cooked through. Remove the chicken from the pan and, when cool enough to handle, shred the chicken with two forks.
Transfer the shredded chicken to a medium saucepan and add the salsa. Set the pan over medium heat and bring to a simmer. Simmer for 2 minutes to heat through. Remove the pan from the heat and set aside.
Wrap 4 of the tortillas in a paper towel and microwave on HIGH for 20 seconds to soften. Arrange the tortillas on a flat surface and spoon the chicken mixture onto each tortilla (about 2 tablespoons per tortilla). Top the chicken with cheddar cheese (about 1 tablespoon per tortilla). Roll the tortillas up tightly and secure with wooden picks. Arrange the tortillas, side-by-side, on a large baking sheet and spray with cooking spray. Repeat with the remaining tortillas, chicken and cheese, working in batches of four (this prevents the tortillas from drying out).
Transfer the baking sheet to the oven and bake for 25 to 30 minutes, until the tortillas are golden brown and crisp.

Canada's mid-sized firms broken-hearted
BY Staff | February 14, 2013
Canada's mid-sized companies are struggling, says a new study by the Business Development Bank of Canada (BDC). From 2006 to 2010, this key economic engine defined as companies with between 100 and 499 employees declined by 17%.
Read: MPs create entrepreneur caucus
Hardest hit was the manufacturing sector, which saw over half its mid-sized firms vanish between 2001 and 2010 from 2,807 to 1,381.
BDC undertook the study to fill an important research gap on mid-sized firms. The study is based on Statistics Canada data and supported by survey results from market research firm Harris/Decima.
"This decline should signal a call to action as mid-sized firms are vital to the Canadian economy," says Pierre Cléroux, BDC vice-president, research and chief economist and lead author of the study. "They're few in numbers, yet their contribution to Canada's economic prosperity cannot be overemphasized. They really do punch above their weight."
Mid-sized firms represent 1% of the total number of companies, but contribute disproportionately to the Canadian economy, accounting for 16% of Canadian jobs, 12% of GDP and 17% of exports. It is worth noting that a greater portion of mid-sized firms have their head office in Canada, compared to large firms (90% versus 77%).
"During the last ten years, medium-sized firms have faced serious challenges from the rapidly appreciating Canadian dollar, financial crisis and recession," adds Cléroux.

The study also found:
- 14% of mid-sized firms became small firms (below 100 employees) or closed down each year from 2006 to 2010. Only 1.4% grew to become large-sized corporations with 500 or more employees.
- While mid-sized companies declined across the country, Ontario was hit worst, losing 25% of its number of mid-sized firms between 2006 and 2010 (from 3,810 to 2,861).
But the news is not all bleak, the BDC study found. Many CEOs are optimistic about their prospects during the economic recovery, with 64% of mid-sized firm leaders saying their annual sales will go up by 4.5% over the next three years.
Firm owners said the main obstacles standing in their way to becoming large companies are fierce competition, availability of financing and employee acquisition and retention.
Mid-sized firms with a board of directors or an advisory board are most likely to say they expect sales to go up.
"Canadian businesses will continue to face major challenges as competitive pressures will not disappear. As Canada's development bank, BDC will look closely at how it can better support our mid-sized firms, particularly in the manufacturing sector, in order to help them make the investments required to increase their competitiveness," Cléroux said.
To read the study, see BDC's "Analysis and research" (PDF) section.

The Tech Trends You Have to Look Forward to This Year Video
From connected slow cookers to super high-definition TVs, this is the latest in gadgets from the Consumer Electronics Show (CES).
Hi. I'm Rachel Rothman, and I'm the technical manager here at the Good Housekeeping Research Institute. And I'm fresh back from my trip at CES in Vegas where I found out all of the new and exciting trends that are to come in 2014. So, first up, you're seeing monster improvements to the connected home. It the past, these are meant to be smart solutions to make your life easier, but they don't necessarily do that. But now, companies like Revolv, Staples, and Lowe's are creating centralized hubs, so that you'll be able to control all the different devices and appliances through one app. So, whether it's your lighting, your temperature control, your door locks, your speakers, your home appliances, you'll be able to access them all through the same centralized app. And companies are taking great strides to make the interfaces and communications with a much more simple and mainstream. So, for instance, LG is allowing you now to be able to text with your home appliances. So, you can chat with it just like you would your friends. Another major improvement we're seeing is the television. So, this is always the center point at CES, and the show is no different. So, we had SD, we had HD, and now, we have UHD. So, ultra high definition. It's also being called 4K 'cause it's four times the resolution of a typical HD. You're also seeing some of the best incorporate curved design, which is supposed to offer a more cinematic experience. So, those are two of the big trends that I saw at CES. And you can check out goodhousekeeping.com to see some of our others, and some of the really great gadgets that I saw live on the show core. Thanks.

Staying Hydrated: Electrolytes 101
by Dana Angelo White in Fitness, July 19, 2012
There's more to beating the heat than just drinking water. Electrolytes are important nutrients that help maintain your body's fluid balance.
Electrolyte Basics
Electrolytes are substances that conduct an electric current. In the body, they help to facilitate actions of the nervous system, maintain proper fluid and acid-base balance, and allow muscles to contract.
Many important minerals also act as electrolytes – some of the major players for healthy muscles are sodium, chloride, potassium and calcium.
Where to Find Electrolytes
You can find electrolytes in a wide variety of foods and beverages. If these foods are regular fixtures in your diet, you can rest assured you're getting enough.
Sports Drinks
A good choice after a sweaty workout, sports drinks like Gatorade and Powerade have fluid and carbs along with sodium and potassium.
Orange Juice
One cup of OJ has 12 percent of the daily recommendation for potassium. You'll also get vitamin C — it isn't an electrolyte but it does help keep muscles healthy.
Coconut Water
It's the new trend in sports drinks (but isn't actually a sports drink). If you're a fan of the taste coconut water, it comes jam-packed with potassium. It also contains a small amount of sodium.
Read our full write up about coconut water
Fruits & Veggies
Potatoes, raisins, bananas, spinach and sweet potatoes are just a few potassium-rich fruits and veggies. Get calcium from leafy greens like kale, Swiss chard and arugula.
Salty (Healthy) Foods
Canned tuna, canned salmon, soup, beans, pickles, olives and whole-grain bread are higher-sodium foods that are actually good for you. Since most of these foods are seasoned with table salt (a.k.a. sodium-chloride) you'll find both electrolytes.
Milk, cheese and yogurt are packed with bone-building calcium. Folks that have trouble digesting dairy or who follow a vegan diet can get plenty of calcium from a combination of leafy green veggies and calcium fortified foods like juices, tofu, soy milk and cereals.

Shares pare gains as investors seek catalysts
PUBLISHED: 02 Mar 2012 13:15:35 | UPDATED: 03 Mar 2012 09:21:06PRINT EDITION: 02 Mar 2012
The local sharemarket was trading slightly higher on Friday afternoon, losing some of its early gains with few drivers to generate any significant momentum.
At 1.50am AEDT, the benchmark S&P/ASX 200 index was up 13.5 points, or 0.3 per cent, at 4269.0.
US stocks closed higher on Thursday, helped by positive jobs data, with the S&P500 index rising 8.41 points to 1374.09, its highest closing level since June 5, 2008.
Australian investors still seemed to be cautious despite the US momentum and were waiting for the S&P/ASX 200 to pass through the 4300 point level, IG Markets analyst Stan Shamu said.
"It has struggled to get through that level on a number of occasions in the past few months; that's really another factor keeping investors at bay, waiting to see the level convincingly broken," he told AAP.
"It seems like Australian investors are generally non-committal to the market and probably need a catalyst to break through that level."
There were very few leads from local companies as reporting season finished this week and no major economic events are listed.
Most commodity prices were higher overnight, and the materials sector was still up about 0.4 per cent higher, although it had backtracked from earlier gains.
BHP Billiton and Rio Tinto lost early gains to trade 0.1 per cent higher and 0.3 per cent lower respectively.
Fortescue Metals Group performed strongly, with heavy buying from investors wanting exposure to iron ore pushing its shares up 2.0 per cent.
Major financial stocks were mixed after starting strongly.
Commonwealth Bank shares were 4 cents weaker at $49.02 and National Australia Bank was down 0.9 per cent, but ANZ gained 1.5 per cent and Westpac rose 0.2 per cent.

The ink wasn�t even dry on the U.S. Supreme Court ruling on the constitutionality of the Affordable Care Act before we started to hear the thrumming of a thousand PR machines across the land.
But there were few surprises in reactions that split quite cleanly along party lines:
Gov. Terry Branstad called it a �disastrous decision� to uphold a �destructive health care law.� Sen. Tom Harkin said it �affirmed the common sense idea that virtually all Americans will use health care, whether or not they choose to purchase insurance.�
Sen. Chuck Grassley said he respected the court but strongly disagreed with the decision, one which Rep. Dave Loebsack said brings �stability and certainty to Iowans as they make critical health care choices for themselves and their families.�
Fans focused on preventive care and pre-existing conditions, closing the Medicare prescription drug doughnut hole, allowing parents to cover their children to age 26, and on the act�s benefits to women�s health.
Foes warned it makes government too big, that the individual mandate tramples individual freedoms. That, contrary to what Democrats said when they were touting the thing, it�s a tax. It�s a tax. It�s a tax. It�s a tax.
In short, everyone just dusted off their talking points from 2010. And all, regardless of where they stood, explicitly or coyly pledged to make the issue center stage in November. Talk about disastrous.
It would be a mistake to make this fall�s election a referendum on such a much-misrepresented and poorly understood piece of legislation. Candidates have little incentive to accurately describe the act�s wide-ranging provisions. Voters will have to work hard to get up to speed about what it truly entails.
Healthcare providers already have spent millions of dollars to carry out less-controversial provisions of the act. Investments they say will help improve care and control costs � in other words, which will work exactly as intended. But nuts and bolts make poor campaign rhetoric. We�re sure to hear little about that.
In the flurry of statements issued in response to the Supreme Court ruling last week, the guest opinion penned by St. Luke�s Hospital President and CEO Ted Townsend and Iowa Health System CEO Bill Leaver stood apart.
�Can we move on?� the health providers asked, pleading with policy makers, candidates and voters not to lose their heads in bitter battle.
�We are already on our way to reforming health care,� the men wrote. �Let�s not get derailed.�

Speed Up Your Drupal Development Using Installations and Distributions
Do you find yourself repeating the same steps whenever you start a new Drupal project? Do you always download and enable the same modules, and make the same configuration changes every time? As we start doing more and more Drupal projects at Nomensa, I noticed that we were doing exactly this, so I started to look into ways to streamline our initial project setup process. My solution was to create my own custom installation profile that provides me with a template to start each project, and this article outlines the steps I took to create it. The code outlined in this article has been committed into GitHub at https://github.com/opdavies/linuxjournal_demo, and it's available for you to download and re-use as needed.
What Are Installation Profiles?
Installation profiles are a combination of modules and themes and predefined configuration. A great example of an installation profile that I use regularly is called Commerce Kickstart (http://drupal.org/project/commerce_kickstart). It provides a version of Drupal 7 along with the Drupal Commerce suite of modules that have been preconfigured to have the correct content types, rules, views and so on. Once an installation profile has been uploaded onto drupal.org as a project, it gets bundled with Drupal core, is available as a packaged download, and is known as a distribution. See http://drupal.org/project/distributions for a list of existing distributions.
Figure 1. The Commerce Kickstart Project Page
How to Install an Existing Installation Profile
There are two different ways to download an existing Drupal
installation profile. The first (and easiest) method is to download it
as a distribution from drupal.org. To do this, go to the project page
for the installation profile (for example,
http://drupal.org/project/commerce_kickstart), scroll to the bottom of
the page, and download a release in the same way that you would
download a module or theme. The resulting file will be named something
like commerce_kickstart-7.x-1.10-core.tar.gz, and this file will contain
Drupal core and the Commerce Kickstart installation profile. The other
option is to download a fresh copy of Drupal core, and then
download the installation profile seperately, either using a drush
command like drush dl commerce_kickstart
, or clone it directly from
its Git repository, and then place it within the Drupal's profiles
Now, when you go to install Drupal, there is an additional option to use the Commerce Kickstart installation profile. Select the appropriate profile, click the Save and continue button, and continue through the installation process as normal.
Figure 2. The Installation Screen with Commerce Kickstart
How to Start Creating Your Own Installation Profile
Outside your Drupal directory, create a new directory to hold the files for your installation profile. Mine is called linuxjournal_profile, although the name of the profile is going to be simply linuxjournal. I've appended _profile to the end of the directory name. Later, there will be several different directories with similar names, so this helps provide some clarity. Be sure to give some thought to the name beforehand and ensure that it doesn't conflict with any potential modules or themes.
The first file I need to create is the linuxjournal.info file that, identical to .info files for modules and themes, defines the name and description of the profile, as well as which version of Drupal core that it is compatible with. I'm also going to make it dependent on the core dblog and block modules so that these are enabled automatically when the profile is installed:
name = Linux Journal
description = A demonstration installation profile for my LJ article.
core = 7.x
dependencies[] = dblog
dependencies[] = block
The only other mandatory file needed for this profile to be visible to Drupal is the .profile file—in this case, linuxjournal.profile. Within this file, I can put any custom PHP functions or implementations of Drupal hooks that will take effect during the installation process. For now, I'm just going to add an opening PHP tag and leave the rest of the file blank. To confirm that everything works okay so far, I can download a fresh copy of Drupal core, copy linuxjournal_profile into the profiles directory, rename it to linuxjournal so that it is the same as the name of the profile, and load that site in a Web browser.
Figure 3. The Install Screen with the Linux Journal Installation Profile
So far, so good. On the installation page, as well as seeing the default Standard and Minimal profiles, I also can see my Linux Journal profile. I can select this and continue with the installation process as normal to confirm that it's working, although because I've not entered anything into linuxjournal.profile yet, nothing special is going to happen.
Adding a .install File
Identical to writing a module, I can create a .install file that contains functions to run when the profile is installed, updated or uninstalled. I'm going to utilize the hook_install() function from the minimal installation profile as part of my profile instead of re-declaring its contents myself and duplicating code. Within my own implementation of hook_install(), I can include the .install file from the minimal profile and then run its minimal_install() function:
* @file
* Install, update and uninstall functions
* for the Linux Journal installation profile.
* Implements hook_install().
* Run the hook_install() function from the minimal
* profile as part of this profile.
function linuxjournal_install() {
// Utilize the hook_install() implementation from
// the minimal profile.
include_once DRUPAL_ROOT . '/profiles/minimal/minimal.install';
Adding Modules
I'm now going to create another file called linuxjournal.make. This file contains a listing of all the projects (modules and themes) and libraries that are used within the profile. My company specializes in building accessible Web sites, and I use a number of contributed modules on every site to help me do this. There are also some essential contributed modules, such as Administration Menu (http://drupal.org/project/admin_menu) and Pathauto (http://drupal.org/project/pathauto), as well as some custom modules and features that I use on every site. All of these will be listed within the linuxjournal.make file.

The difference between install profiles and distros
Thanks for the article. A quick note about the title: I think you meant to say "Installation Profiles" instead of "Installations".
Your article is mainly about creating installation profiles and not so much about distributions. That's okay, because installation profiles are great and they can indeed speed up your development process.
IMHO it's too easy to say that "distributions are install profiles on drupal.org" and be done with it. The big difference is that if you use a distribution, you're no longer the maintainer of that code. That has some advantages like the availability of support and updates. The disadvantage is, that if you want to change the way a distribution works, you cannot simply go in and change the code. If you did that, it would get much harder to get support and install updates. In my experience, a distribution can dramatically speed up your development process if it is exactly (or very close to) what you need. If you are planning to make a lot of changes, building on a distribution may even slow down your development process. This is especially true for distributions with lots of features and styling, such as Open Atrium.
Features / Exportables
Nice article, Features, Profiler and Profiler Builder modules would all help in making a more complete export and install package (and faster) :)
As Linux continues to play an ever increasing role in corporate data centers and institutions, ensuring the integrity and protection of these systems must be a priority. With 60% of the world's websites and an increasing share of organization's mission-critical workloads running on Linux, failing to stop malware and other advanced threats on Linux can increasingly impact an organization's reputation and bottom line.

Most companies incorporate backup procedures for critical data, which can be restored quickly if a loss occurs. However, fewer companies are prepared for catastrophic system failures, in which they lose all data, the entire operating system, applications, settings, patches and more, reducing their system(s) to "bare metal." After all, before data can be restored to a system, there must be a system to restore it to.
In this one hour webinar, learn how to enhance your existing backup strategies for better disaster recovery preparedness using Storix System Backup Administrator (SBAdmin), a highly flexible bare-metal recovery solution for UNIX and Linux systems.

Once, when the World War II-era song "Praise the Lord and Pass the Ammunition" was playing on the car radio, Jack Tyson explained his nuanced objection to his sons: "I can understand about praising the Lord, and I can understand even passing the ammunition, but I don't understand how we can put 'em together. You can't praise the Lord and pass the ammunition at the same time." With World War II over, and the Korean War looming, Tyson decided to register as a conscientious objector. When he called to let his father know, the elder Tyson advised him to rethink his decision. "I said, 'Daddy, I hadn't called to discuss it. I called to announce to you what I'm going to do,' and we hung up. I went to my room and cried because I had never before broken with my father over a single issue that I knew about. Here I was a 20-year-old, and I had taken a stand that was not his stand, that was even stronger than his stand."
The mother of one of Vernon's high school buddies was the military draft registrar in his hometown, "and to this day she's not spoken to me," Tyson says. "It was icy cold because her son was in the Navy." 'Brainwashed' at SeminaryAfter graduation from Duke Divinity School in 1957, civil rights, rather than pacifism, became the dominant theme of Tyson's ministry. "… I didn't know how to escape the issue of race and be a Christian minister on the front line," he says. "So it was my issue; inescapable. Race was put on my plate." In 1958, Tyson was appointed as associate pastor of Raleigh's Edenton Street Methodist Church, serving under the late Rev. Howard P. Powell. Baptist firebrand the Rev. W.W. Finlator was calling on downtown Raleigh merchants to integrate their restaurants and Tyson wanted to add his name to the newspaper ad. When Powell advised him not to because it would "mark" him, Tyson replied that "it's calling on the merchants to do something I believe they ought to do, and I want to sign it.'" He asked why Powell wasn't signing the ad and found integrity in the response. "Because I have never served an interracial meal in my fellowship hall here at this church," said Powell. "How can I go ask a secular merchant to do something that my church hasn't done?" "I said, 'Dr. Powell, you've been here 12 years. I just got here. That's your problem, it's not my problem. If I'm an embarrassment to you I'll not sign it, but that's the only reason I will not sign it.'" Powell told Tyson "don't stand back on that account." Although many parishioners congratulated him after the ad appeared in The (Raleigh) News & Observer , a prominent church woman sent for him. "I saw your name in the paper, and it greatly disturbed me," she said. "I know your professors have brainwashed you. You're a good boy, and you come from good stock. I know your family, and you're a God-loving man. I'm so concerned about you." In response, Tyson said, "'Thank you for loving me enough to want to speak to me. Will you pray for me?' I got on my knees beside her chair, and I took her hand and laid it up on my head and she prayed for me and I hugged her and kissed her on the cheek and I left."

Easter Egg Hunt Canceled Due to Aggressive Parents
An annual Easter egg hunt in Colorado Springs has been canceled this year because of misbehavior — by parents, not kids.
Creative Ways to Decorate Your Easter Eggs [VIDEOS]
The Easter practice of egg decorating has meaning behind it: the egg itself represents rebirth, something early Pagans celebrated during the spring season, and was later adopted by Christians to represent the resurrection themes of the Easter holiday. Back in the olden days, colored eggs were decorated in springy hues and given away to lovers and friends sort of the same way we do with Valentines. The egg tradition has held over as the holiday evolved, with most people using store-bought dyeing packages to color their hard boileds.
This year, stray from the usual and create unique Easter egg decorations with the help of these video tutorials.
Classic Easter Cartoons – Video Round-Up
Like many holidays, kids get the better end of the deal come Easter time. After all, it's the parents who stock giant baskets with mounds of chocolatey goodness, a wad of Easter cash, new spring clothes and adorable stuffed bunny rabbits. And it's the parents who plan expansive Easter egg hunts and myriad Easter activities and crafts. One other positive of being a kid on Easter? Watching cartoons, of course!
Take a break from dying eggs this year and re-watch some of these classic Easter cartoon clips.
5 Things You Probably Didn't Know About Easter
We imagine that at this point in the spring season, you've stocked up on loads of chocolate (or are anticipating a victorious post-Easter candy sale), faux grass and enough hardboiled eggs to live off of for the next six months. You've probably even posed with the Easter bunny, or at least passed one or two in the mall. But do you know why Easter is affiliated with such unique traditions?
Cute Kids Getting Scared of the Easter Bunny [VIDEOS]
While the Easter bunny is generally well-regarded for its fluffy belly, alert ears and too-cute buck teeth, some humans just aren't so fond of the creature. We're talking about young kiddos who -- when faced with the giant creature every Easter holiday -- erupt into a fountain of tears, traumatic screams and eyes bulging out of their sockets.
It's almost as if adults just want a little entertainment for the day. So, come Easter, they encourage a little PTSD by way of bunny rabbit.
Easy Easter Dessert Recipes [VIDEOS]
Though technically a religious holiday, Easter has become more synonymous with milk chocolate candies in the shapes of eggs and bunnies, fruity snacks in springy hues and all sorts of decadent desserts. Stock up on the goods in stores, but also think about making a few of your own delectable treats this year.

Cancer-Fightin' Comedy Gala, Now With Extra Added Garfunkel and Oates
By Perry Michael Simon on March 19, 2012
Just a couple of weeks ago, we drew your attention to "Fancy and Enchanting," a special benefit show being held at the Hayworth Theater in Los Angeles March 20th by Vanessa Ragland, our own Pop My Culture co-host, in her campaign to raise $60,000 in the fight against blood cancers and be the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society's Woman of the Year. At that time, we told you the lineup was headed by Bob Odenkirk and Rob Delaney, with Janet Varney, Paul Gilmartin, Grey DeLisle, the Spanglers (close personal friends of Vanessa and the evening's co-host Jamie Flam), the Fringe Riders, and music from the Petrojvic Blasting Co. That's all still true, and it's this Tuesday night (tomorrow night, as of this posting).
But if you haven't decided to buy a ticket yet, here's another reason to come out and support this worthy cause: Garfunkel and Oates are now on the bill as well. Yep, Riki and Kate will be performing along with all the other guests we've previously announced. And, as before, 100% of the proceeds from the evening will be going directly to the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society.
Wait, there's more. If you need even more reason to get your tickets now, you can get a discount by using a couple of coupon codes: The code NERDIST will get you $5 off general admission tickets and the code FANCYNERD will get you $15 off the VIP tickets. So you can save money AND support a great cause AND see some of comedy's brightest lights in an intimate setting.
What? You're still reading? Go already — CLICK HERE TO BUY TICKETS. And if you can't make it, you can still donate to the cause by clicking here. But if you can, buy tickets and see the show, and support Vanessa in her fight against blood cancers.
As a Lymphoma survivor, I so wish I could attend this event!! I am also so very grateful to see that it exists
So much emphasis goes to other cancers, that blood cancers tend to get lost amid the pink and blue-ribboned brigades.
I had a very difficult time paying for treatment, because very few organizations exist that provide grant money for blood cancer.
I was lucky enough to rec'v a $150 check from the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society, but this was just a drop in the massive swimming pool of expenses.
Medical science needs the money for research, but patients also are desperately in need of money for treatment.
Thank you so much for supporting this event! I wish you only the best success!
