Is Too Clean Carcinogenic?
The more we learn, the more we learn we've really learned nothing at all, at least when compared to all the secrets that still lie hidden.
For example, there's this absolutely fascinating article in today's L.A. Times, which reports that some scientists think humanity's ongoing obsession with hyper-cleanliness and its ever increasing microbiophobia (fear of germs), as evidenced by exploding sales of anti-bacterial products, may be contributing to the increases in some kinds of cancer we've been seeing lately.
Simply put, several studies have found that people regularly exposed to large amounts of bacteria, like farm workers who work amidst lots of manure, have much lower rates of certain cancers than people who aren't exposed to large amounts of bacteria, like farm workers who spend most of their time outside the barn.
It's an intriguing idea and one that deserves a lot of scrutiny. If you've read the Non-Toxic Times or Naturally Clean, you know about the Hygiene Hypothesis, which essentially says that it's most likely not such a great idea to live in a sterile environment because it could make your immune system fat and lazy. If there are no germs around to fight, our immune systems become sedentary, deactivated in a sense. When they finally do encounter something to fight they've become so soft and out-of-shape that they can't respond effectively. Because they evolved in a dirty world, our immune systems need a certain amount of that world preserved in order to remain fit and trim.

If you have any questions, please contact Laura Mason, Compliance Coordinator, at:
The Compliance Office at Stetson University has two main functions; to educate all internal and external customers, as well as monitoring rules compliance. The Compliance Office meets regularly with coaches and student-athletes to provide rules interpretations, information and pertinent materials pertaining to the numerous NCAA Bylaws. These efforts are needed to ensure institutional control.
Our education efforts are of utmost importance. Many people are involved with Stetson University Athletics, including coaches, administration staff, and supporters. The Compliance Office knows the complexities of NCAA Bylaws and is continuing to evolve a comprehensive educational program for everyone in the community that collectively makes Stetson Athletics. All components of an athletic program must work together and each function properly, effectively and efficiently to ensure compliance. It must be a shared responsibility. Each person interested in the Stetson University Athletic Department assists the athletic program by knowing and complying with NCAA rules. For more information, please contact the Stetson University Athletic Compliance Office.
As always, Stetson University would like to thank everyone for their support of its programs.

The number I was given for technical support went straight to a cell phone's voice mail
My husband couldn't wait to get a new camera for a trip he was taking with our boys. He received the camera and right off the batt the battery wouldn't charge. Had to go to a Nikon store to purchase a new battery. The camera worked for a few pictures and then the lens cover stopped opening and closing. No response from Overstock. Have to take it to the Nikon store again to have it repaired. Would not purchase another refurbished item from Overstock! Very disappointed!
I love the new camera; it is small enough to carry in my purse pocket and works really well. I have only one problem; the dvd that came with it won't download on my computer. Pictures are good quality and it is fun to use.
I like Nikon camera the pictures are very good. Will recommend this product to friends
I am very happy with my purchase and would buy it again and recommend this product to others.

Thanks for all the numbers everyone.One more question, since I plan on making this Detroit modified, should I use all provolone or a mix of provo & mozzarella for the topping?
Thanks, Goose. I sent you a PM a short time ago in case you didn't see my question. Then came back to the forums and saw you answered. Then my internet went out for a while. LOLDo you do a warm rise and punch down before putting the dough in the frig, or chuck it right in out of the mixer? I find Loo's deep dish dough recipe works better if I do the warm rise he suggests before putting it in the fridge for a day or two, but put I Randy's thin right into the frig for two days.Thanks,Kevin

Hi all
Kinda hard getting out of the starting blocks when I can't download the framework. Can anyone here provide me with a download link for the current version?
2 Aug 2011 11:49 AM #2
I'm in the same boat. I don't even know what the newest version is, but I suspect v1.1.0 is outdated, based on the number of highly frustrating problems I'm having and the inconsistencies in the documentation and the actual framework.
2 Aug 2011 2:12 PM #3
1.1 is the current version.
gruppler, Can you list your issues so they can be addressed in the next release?

Sexy, but not so comfy
My bf bought me these for Christmas. They're really hot! However, I wore them out and by the end of the evening, if my feet had eyes, they would've cried! When I got home, I walked up my driveway barefoot in NYC in January (brrrrrr). I'm hoping that the discomfort is due to the initial breaking-in phase, but I must say, I have a few pairs of bebe shoes now, and generally speaking, they are not the most comfortable shoes I own. However, they are so pretty, that I don't care. I'm willing to (occasionally) suffer for the sake of sexy!

"Tiger & Dragon" is a 30x24in. archival print and poured resin glaze on wood created for the "Beast of the East" exhibit at Sake Bomb in Downtown St. Petersburg, FL.
When I was in Zhangzhou China last year I heard a story about people in rural villages betting on fights between cats and snakes. (Similar to illegal cockfights) These disturbing reenactments were supposed to represent the epic battles between the mythological Chinese dragon and fearless, ancient tigers. I thought this story would make for an interesting piece and took some liberties to show a king cobra to take it a step further.

First Look: 7 Miles a Second by Wojnarowicz, Romberger & Van Cook | |
Written by Mike Baehr | Filed under James Romberger, David Wojnarowicz, Coming Attractions | 15 Nov 2012 1:21 PM |
It's our great privilege to be bringing you a "lost" comics masterpiece of the 1990s in a new, definitive, remastered, expanded hardcover edition. 7 Miles a Second is the memoir of renowned artist, writer, filmmaker and activist David Wojnarowicz, from his youth husling on the streets of Manhattan to his battle with AIDS in adulthood, drawn by James Romberger and colored by Marguerite Van Cook. Alternately lyrical and harrowing, blending gritty realism with elements of surrealism and psychedelia, it's been called "revelatory," "revolutionary" and "a cult classic"... and now it can finally be seen the way it was always intended. This book should be available in January, and it looks like we'll be able to offer an exclusive signed bookplate, possibly with brand new art, to our mail-order customers. Stay tuned for details and more extensive previews; read a 7-page excerpt and pre-order your copy right here.

MaraThis is my favorite yoga wbesite. SO many classes to choose from and they are all great. I also love that you can choose based on level or just pick a random one, depending on your mood. The easy ones are easy cardiovascularly, but incredibly challenging for the mind to settle down and also difficult to relax completely into some very deep, long stretches. The hard ones challenge every aspect of my yoga practice from balance, to stamina, to strength! I love how sweaty and completely challenged I can be in my home practice! Thanks so much, Wade, love these!

Father Luke Strand of the Holy Family Parish in Fond Du Lac, Wisconsin, has a pretty interesting ride. He drives around town in a black Volkswagen Beetle with a logo featuring the phrase "God Squad" emblazoned on it. That logo and the vehicle itself bear a striking similarity to the mobile service vehicles of Best Buy's service team, the Geek Squad.Apparently, Best Buy isn't pleased with its look being appropriated by this man of the cloth. Lawyers for the electronics retailer sent Father Strand a cease-and-desist letter telling him to ditch the logo or face consequences. Father Strand mentioned the letter at his Sunday Mass.Speaking to the Fond du Lac Reporter, Father Strand defended the logo. He says he uses the logo as a creative way to spur discussions and bring his faith to the community.Best Buy told reporters for the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel that while it appreciates Father Strand's sentiments, it cannot stand by and watch its trademarks be violated.The legal dispute revives a long ongoing question of just how much ownership to an icon a company can claim. Apple, Inc., for example, has been particularly zealous in legally assailing those who supposedly violated its trademark. From New York City to music festivals, anyone who used the logo of an Apple -- or particularly a logo of an Apple with a bite out of it -- was hit with lawsuits or cease-and-desist letters.
Some argue that companies are taking trademark enforcement to far; corporate lawyers would obviously disagree.

This is the programme. They want to colonise until up to now. If we are not careful we will finish in one century's time."

Aloe Our Community Fair Trade organic aloe vera comes from the 'Tierra del Calor', or 'Land of Heat', in central Guatemala. We work with The Guastatoya Farmers, who cultivate aloe plants on 115 hectares of organically-certified land. They supply The Body Shop with 100% organic, preservative-free concentrated aloe vera gel for our products. Within 6 hours of harvest, our aloe leaves have been packed up and sent to the processing plant, so that the precious aloe gel can extracted while the leaves are still fresh and juicy. Our trade with The Guastatoya Farmers provides an additional income for smallholder farmers like Dona Blanca, who told us that she has been able to send her daughters to secondary school thanks to the money she receives from selling aloe leaves.

The announcement says systemd is in, but the features-list wiki page doesn't mention systemd any longer. I wonder what's up.
Phoronix: Fedora 14 Beta Is Now Available
Fedora 14 Beta is now available. It features the latest Fedora packages including the improvements to the GNOME 2.32 desktop, Linux 2.6.35 kernel, and much more...
The announcement says systemd is in, but the features-list wiki page doesn't mention systemd any longer. I wonder what's up.
The original feature proposal from me was to make it the default. Since that has been pushed to Fedora 15, the feature list doesn't include it anymore. Now it is a optional init system for Fedora 14.
Rahul: I'm not sure it's a great idea to promote systemd as an optional feature of F14 when we really haven't done much to make it so. AFAIK you still can't actually install systemd on current F14 without messing around with nodeps and force, and Lennart hasn't made any indication that he intends to support its use as a non-default init system on F14.
Thanks, good to know systemd is doing well and is gonna be default in F15.
Also, the (new) D programming language (ldc) doesn't seem to work ok, it doesn't compile a simple hello world test app, it yields errors. D'you happen to know if it's by design or a bug?
import std.stdio;
int main() {
writeln("hello world");
return 0;
Sadly, this time the Fedora feature list lacks anything interesting for the average desktop user, apart from the obvious upstream advances. I'm aware that the BIG THING in F14 was supposed to be Gnome 3.0, and that won't be in for obvious reasons, but I would have gone through the extra effort to have systemd in. On my systems it was working seamlessly since version 10, but there might have been other regressions on different platforms, I don't know.
However, this release is going to feel quite boring for a good set of users, and this is generally bad PR.
One word: Spice.
Finally KVM will be able to do decent work as desktop virtualization solution (as opposed to server only).

Dick Tiger CBE (born Richard Ihetu August 14, 1929 - December 14, 1971) was a boxer from Ubahu village, Amaigbo, Nigeria, who emigrated to Liverpool and later to the United States of America. Tiger was a member of the Igbo ethnic group. Tiger was a talented boxer, commercial venturer, and Biafran rebel. Dick Tiger was one of the greatest fighters to come out of Africa. He became a two-time undisputed world middleweight titlist and helped keep boxing alive during the 1950s boxing industry recession. Tiger earned an undisputed Light-Heavyweight world championship. In 1962, Tiger won the world middleweight boxing championship. Tiger was an "in-house fighter" at New York City's Madison Square Garden.Tiger developed a portfolio of investments before the outbreak of the Nigerian Civil War. Tiger was appointed CBE by Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II, but he returned his insignia as a protest for what he perceived as a lack of support by Great Britain to the Biafran cause.

First to Arrive: State and Local Responses to Terrorism
Book, The MIT Press
September 2003
Authors: Juliette Kayyem, Lecturer in Public Policy, Robyn Pangi, Former Research Specialist, Executive Session on Domestic Preparedness, International Security Program
Ordering Information for this publication
Belfer Center Studies in International Security
Belfer Center Programs or Projects: Belfer Center Studies in International Security; International Security
"First to Arrive is a critically important resource for national security practitioners, students, and concerned citizens; it should be read by both specialists and those who are just beginning to explore the field. Written by experts and first responders, it presents insightful and realistic solutions to the problematic field of security in the post-9/11 world, providing analysis and thought-provoking debate regarding the best and most effective means of protecting America."
--Michael Greenberger, Director, Center for Health and Homeland Security and Professor, School of Law, University of Maryland
"City leaders have assumed extraordinary new roles in homeland security. This book is a very thoughtful exploration of fundamental issues and practical challenges that local leaders and policymakers face in securing our communities. It is an important contribution to our collective knowledge that will help us to meet the challenges that lie ahead."
--John DeStefano, Jr., Mayor of New Haven, Connecticut, and President, National League of Cities
"The expertise of long-time security practitioners makes First to Arrive a valuable resource for addressing security needs beyond the D.C. beltway and statehouses. This well-edited volume spans the wide spectrum of communities involved in preparedness planning, and gives specific recommendations to help local, state, and national responders and elected officials."
--Jane Harman, Ranking Member of the House Intelligence Committee, and Member, National Commission on Terrorism
Since September 11, 2001, the United States has been preoccupied by the federal role in preparedness against terror attacks, and by ways to provide a quick fix through organizational overhauls. Airport security has been federalized, and Congress has approved a Cabinet-level homeland security agency. By contrast, national discussion of state and local preparedness has been largely absent.
First to Arrive argues that the best way for America to prepare for terrorism is to listen to people in the field; those working on the ground can guide decisions at the top. Many of the contributors are first responders who have long been dedicated to domestic preparedness; others are political scientists and historians who provide a broader context. They analyze critical but often overlooked issues, explain the operational needs of state and local governments, and provide practical solutions to the challenges of local and state domestic preparedness.
These essays grew out of a series of discussions held by the Executive Session on Domestic Preparedness at Harvard University's Kennedy School of Government. Begun before the September 11 attacks and continuing after them, they offer a guide to US domestic security in today's world.
Juliette N. Kayyem is a Lecturer in Public Policy at Harvard University's John F. Kennedy School of Government. She is co-author of Preserving Security and Democratic Freedoms in the War on | Terrorism.
Robyn L. Pangi is a former research associate of the Kennedy School's Executive Session on Domestic Preparedness and co-editor of Countering Terrorism: Dimensions of Preparedness.

TWC's Britt: Hurricane Sandy damages 'not significant'
Time Warner Cable CEO Glenn Britt started out this morning's third-quarter earnings call by thanking his employees for their work before and after Hurricane Sandy, along with a brief update on the storm damages.
Last week, Barclays analyst James Ratcliffe said Cablevision's financial hit for Hurricane Sandy could be as much as $36 million, but Britt said Time Warner Cable was still evaluating Hurricane Sandy's impact.
"I would note that we have sustained some damage to our facilities, vehicles and outdoor plant, almost entirely here in New York City," Britt said. "We're still evaluating the loss and the extent of insurance coverage, but we don't expect the amount to be very significant. Certainly on a relative basis, it pales in comparison to the losses that so many families, businesses and communities have suffered."
Time Warner Cable chief financial officer Irene Esteves backed up Britt's comments that the expenses related to Sandy were expected to be modest, but those costs were still being evaluated.
Time Warner Cable offers services in areas of New York City, upstate New York and in the Carolinas.
"I want to begin by thanking all of our employees who worked in many ways to help keep our customers informed and connected during last week's storm, as well as those who have been dealing with the many aftereffects," Britt said at the start of the conference call. "I'm truly inspired by the tremendous dedication of our residential/commercial operations and customer care teams, as well as our news channels. Our customers have noticed our hard work and they appreciate it, as do I."

FEHBP modernization plan receives cautious optimism from Hill
Thursday - 4/11/2013, 7:54pm EDT
Jason Miller, executive editor, Federal News Radio
Lawmakers are far from satisfied with the White House's proposals to change the Federal Employees Health Benefits Program.
House Oversight and Government Reform Committee members Thursday wanted more details and data from the Office of Personnel Management before committing to any of the ideas.
Still, committee members expressed the belief that the 50-year-old law creating the FEHBP is in need of a major update.
"The proposal itself is inherently good. Let's open up the process, let's recognize that artificial, historic definitions need to be gone," said Rep. Darrell Issa (R-Calif.), chairman of the full committee, during a hearing of the subcommittee on the Federal Workforce, Postal Service and the Census. "I do believe, although I'm willing to support a law change that would create a regional opportunity and certainly a law change that would create a greater opportunity for nationals [insurance companies] to come in, I believe, as you go back today with your proposals from us, are you willing to go through a process that says, 'You can only do any of these if there is a finding scored by CBO or found by GAO to be an actual savings?'"
Issa said he's concerned about false estimates by OPM and that the changes could actually cost the government more in the long-run.
As part of the fiscal 2014 budget request sent to Congress Wednesday, the administration offered up three major changes.
The administration wants to:
- Open the plan up to regional insurers instead of just national ones;
- Give OPM the ability to negotiate prescription drug prices through Pharmacy Benefit Managers to take advantage of the bulk buying;
- Offer domestic partner coverage, called the self-plus-one option;
- Let employees who are healthier pay lower premiums.
Jonathan Foley, the director of planning and policy analysis for OPM, said the law creating the FEHBP in 1959 has not kept pace with the times.
"Missing from the current mix are regional plans that are widely available in the commercial market," he said. "If these regional plans were available, FEHBP enrollees would benefit from having greater choices that represent best practices in the private sector, and more closely resemble product combinations to private employees in state and local governments."
Foley said he wouldn't open the program up nor contract with every regional carrier. The proposed update just gives them the option if the agency determines it's in the best interest of the government, the employees and the retirees.
Foley said OPM estimates that, for example, changes to the prescription drug program could save $1.6 billion over 10 years, and the self-plus-one option would save another $5.2 billion over the next decade.
Trust, but verify
But Issa was not satisfied with those estimates alone. He said history has shown that trusting the word of the agency or administration that there are savings isn't good enough.
He said he would like to see a pilot program demonstrating how the regional preferred provider organizations (PPOs) or self-plus-one or prescription drug changes would work first.
Issa also said he would like to see an independent review from a third party in terms of how much money the government would save.
Other committee members wanted more clarification from OPM on how these proposals would work.
Del. Eleanor Holmes-Norton (D-D.C.) said she's concerned that OPM is heading into two different directions with these proposals.
Under the prescription drug plan, OPM is trying to take advantage of their large number of members to get better prices. But with the self-plus-one option and the regional PPOs option, it seems as if the agency is losing the value of having a large pool of customers.
Foley said OPM is not creating regional pools, but regional carriers whose prices would be based on the entire federal membership. He said, for example, if a regional carrier just wanted to work in Oregon and Washington states, OPM could require they also offer services in Alaska to ensure carriers are not "cherry-picking" only high premium or low-cost states.
Blue Cross-Blue Shield and the American Federation of Government Employees also questioned the administration's proposals.
Support from insurance companies mixed
Blue Cross-Blue Shield didn't support the regional PPOs or prescription drug ideas.
William Breskin, the vice president of government programs for the Blue Cross and Blue Shield Association, said OPM has underestimated the costs of the program and the regional PPOs. He said federal employees and the government would end up paying more — as much as $5.7 billion over 10 years.

A week ago the L.A. basin sat under a thick, brown layer of smoke and ash due to the massive and deadly Station and Morris fires burning wildly out of control just to the north of Los Angeles and, in fact threatening some of the foothill communities. Maps posted on the website, inciweb.org, (one of the best sites for quick, factual fire info. for the western U.S.) showed ugly, ragged fire lines encompassing some of the most rugged and heavily vegetated terrain in SoCal. At the time of this posting, those same maps show that the fires have eaten through an area larger than the city of Chicago…and they are still burning.
A week ago I stood on the lawn of the Griffith Park Observatory along with my buddy, Sean, and we watched through telescopes as the fire exploded entire trees in its ravenous march down the hillsides of not so distant canyons.
But that was last week.
Yesterday, Sean and I stood on the banks of the L.A. River, just a couple of miles from the observatory, beneath a startling clear blue sky with a fresh cooling breeze in our faces.
And while all of California is in a severe drought, down in the River the water flowed fast and strong and clear.
We had made the drive back up from the O.C. to "La Reever" because in my quest to learn more about the fires I thought I might have stumbled upon a new fishing spot via Google aerial maps.
Sure enough, tucked away in a highly industrialized neighborhood of sheet metal fabricators, welding shops and dubious import companies and nestled between freeway bridges, railroad trestles and high tension power line towers there is a little slice of paradise – at least by L.A. urban standards. And the best part of it was that no one was there. Not a soul.
There we were, in the middle of roughly 11 million people and we actually had a sizeable stretch of moving water all to ourselves.
We backed Sean's tan Toyota about a quarter-mile down a service road (every successful guy from the "barrio" learns to drive with equal facility backwards and forwards – it's a useful skill for avoiding stray bullets) where it blended in nicely with the decomposed granite roadway and the tall bushes trying to hold on 'til the winter rains.
We geared up and walked another couple of hundred yards to a breach in the chainlink and barbed wire and began our decent down the steep concrete banks. I did a quick scan of the local graffiti to see if I could detect any active "dissing" going on which would raise the keep-looking-over-your-shoulder factor, but found none. In fact, we did not even find any piles of empty beer bottles or food wrappers or any signs that anybody had been down there in the recent past.
As we moved down the embankment, I started to get excited because I could see dozens of fat, torpedo shapes resting in a large pool at the bottom end of some riffles. Sean had forgotten his polarized glasses and could not see the fish so he just looked at me and nodded politely – the way one nods at the finger-pointing, rambling conspiracy theorist stationed on the steps outside the main Post Office.
I began muttering about needing light colored sinking flies and desperately tried to remember if I had any white Wooly Buggers left in my fly box. Sean was already rigging up a Wooly Bugger with a salmon egg imitation as a dropper rig and, again, just nodded politely in my direction.
We positioned ourselves at opposite ends of the pool and began working toward the middle. I cast carefully in front of the shadowy shapes beneath the surface. There was very little conversation, no drama, no people and it just felt great being out on the water, casting with my favorite rod and enjoying the peace and quiet murmuring of the River. Anyone, I repeat, anyone who tells you that Carp are not worth the water they swim in has not fished for them in earnest.
The next several hours were spent casting and crawling and kneeling amongst the bushes and pleading and grumbling along the banks of this section of water in an effort to entice these fish to strike. Time and time again I watched two-foot long Carp follow my flies only to turn away abruptly and inexplicably.
When I finally did get a strike, the fish immediately dove into the rocks and broke me off before I could turn its head around. Based on the unhappy groans coming from over Sean's way, I surmised that he was having similar woes.
After thoroughly working about a quarter-mile of the River we decided to head over to Atwater Village and fish below the Hyperion Bridge – a well-known and commonly fished location. We were disappointed that we hadn't landed any fish but we were thrilled with the number and wariness of the fish we had stumbled upon in this new location.
As we crested the hill on the path leading to the Hyperion Bridge section of the River, our first image was that of a lone fisherman sitting in the middle of the flats in a folding lawn chair. He was using two rods and even from a couple of hundred yards away, we could tell that he probably had them both rigged with 40-pound test or more. By the time we got to the bottom of the embankment, he was busy landing a foot-long fish.
There was a backpack on the shore and after Lawn-chair-guy had let his catch go he waded over to the backpack, sizing us up as we drew near to it. He took a cigarette from out of the front pocket and lit up as Sean asked him how he was doing. He smiled and said it had been a very good day. Sean asked him what he was using for bait and the guy replied, "tortilla".
We looked at each other, wished him well and then somewhat frantically started digging around in our respective fly boxes as we walked toward a favored pool. Despite a plethora of flies for practically every location we fish, neither of us had any approximation of a tortilla. After some hard thinking, I considered snipping off a corner of my boxer shorts and using some tippet to tie it onto a #10 hook but then, aside from the obvious logistical problem of dropping 'trow in the middle of the River, I remembered that it was Sunday and I had on the plaid ones anyway.
So, we fished until near dark but did not have the success of our lawn chair friend. The ride home was a mixture of contentment over our new-found location and amazement that we had been out-fished by tortillas. I could tell, though, from the animated way Sean was speaking that a fire had been started in him and we would probably be using a very interesting pattern the next time we hit the flats at Glendale Narrows.
6 Responses to "TORTILLA FLATS"
Nice. I never thought there was fishes in the LA River.
First the Duck Man, now the Tortilla Man, whats next?
Thanks for the info
Caught a 12 pound carp just on the morn, sweetest fish darn never ate!
