Lukas Verzbicas is living the American dream.
You know – come to America, be virtuous in what you pursue, put in endless hours of hard work and you will reap your just rewards.
The 17-year-old Lithuanian transplant and once-in-a-generation running talent has done just that, following the plan with an unyielding competitiveness and relentless commitment not often found in teenage athletes.
Just three and a half semesters into his high school career in suburban Chicago – a span in which he ran fewer than 20 cross country and track races – Verzbicas had already cemented his place among the greatest high school runners in U.S. history.
With a commanding win at the 2009 Foot Locker Cross Country Championships on Dec. 12 in San Diego and several national track records already under his belt, the lanky, 133-pound aerobic wunderkind has shown all the potential to be the next great American runner. At least to many U.S. running fans, who have been not-so-quietly living their own American dream about Verzbicas, purporting the notion that he might be the second coming of a prodigy like Gerry Lindgren, Steve Prefontaine or Dathan Ritzenhein.
And he might be, except that the next great American runner is not just a runner. In fact, the possibility exists that Verzbicas will give up the sport in its singularity before he's scheduled to graduate in 2012 – at least temporarily – so he can focus on triathlon.
"I have a better chance to make the Olympics in triathlon than I do in track and field, at least for 2012," says Verzbicas, who is a sophomore at Carl Sandburg High School. "I'm training for that now, and if I keep working hard, I'll get there. That's what I'm thinking right now, but it depends on how everything goes over the next few years. I might still be a runner in the future. We'll see."
When Verzbicas arrived in New Lenox, Ill., a small but growing town in Chicago's south suburbs, in the summer of 2002, he was a precocious 9-year-old who, like most Lithuanian kids, loved basketball. But he spoke only a little English and didn't know much about the American way of life, except that he was living near the city where Michael Jordan became famous and that there were McDonald's restaurants everywhere.
His mother, Rasa Verzbickiene, 47, and stepfather, Romas Bertulis, 51, had been track coaches in Lithuania – Rasa, a former national record-holder at 3,000m, assisting distance runners, and Romas, working with decathletes – but temporarily left young Lukas to live with his grandmother in Kaunas for two years as they tried to forge a better life in the U.S.
Still, although he was always prancing around a track and field stadium as a young boy, imitating the athletes his parents were coaching, Verzbicas never had the chance to compete for himself and knew nothing of his latent endurance talents. "I wasn't much of an athlete when I came here," he recalls. "I really just wanted to play basketball, but I wasn't very good."
Wanting to find something for him to pursue and noticing that he appeared never to get winded on the basketball court, Verzbicas' parents signed him up for a low-key 5K race when he was 10. When the starting gun went off, so did he. Although he had done no training prior to the race and lacked any comprehension what a sensible pace might be for 5K, let alone any understanding of how far 5K really was, his competitive instincts took over and compelled him to chase the leaders, hitting the mile mark in under 5:30.
Because time or pace meant nothing to him, he didn't blink an eye or think twice about how hard he was breathing. He just kept running fast with runners two and three times his age, fueled by the simple and almost primal notion that he could and he felt like he should. But, talented or not, he was still a kid, untrained, untested and unsure, the combination of which sent him into oxygen debt and he crashed hard somewhere before the 2-mile mark.
"I walked the last mile," he says with a laugh. "I'm not sure if I even won my age group, but that's how I got started."

Silicon Valley Bank, financial partner to the innovation sector, its investors, and the wine industry, launched a global community service campaign in honor of the company's 30th anniversary. Silicon Valley Bank's 1,650 employees in more than 30 cities across the US and internationally, will participate in volunteer events for not-for-profit organizations in their local area throughout the remainder of the year.
"Our people are as driven to support meaningful causes as they are to support our clients, so it came as no surprise when we asked our employees how we should celebrate our 30th year in business, they said they wanted to give back," said Greg Becker, President and CEO, Silicon Valley Bank. "We know that positive change starts with individuals. We're looking forward to giving our employees an opportunity to engage our clients and collectively make an impact where they live and work."
Silicon Valley Bank opened its doors in the heart of Silicon Valley in 1983 to lend startup capital to companies that other banks thought too risky to take on as clients. Today, SVB provides commercial banking services, industry knowledge and a vast global network of connections to companies of all sizes in the technology, life science, cleantech, venture capital, private equity and premium wine industries.
The "30 Years | 30 Causes" initiative was developed after the company crowd sourced ideas from its employees to celebrate its anniversary. The global series of events begins today at the Twin Cities Habitat for Humanity Entrepreneur House. SVB's team based in Minnesota will contribute to a full house renovation in St. Paul. Our Northern Virginia/ DC team will upgrade and increase the dog kennels at the Commonwealth Humane Society on July 19th and the Portland, OR-based team will be helping teens build and harvest vegetable gardens at the SupaFresh Youth Farm on August 16th. By year end, the company expects to complete 30 events in 15 states and five countries.

Telegraphic Address: "LABREPCOM, SOWEST, LONDON." Telephones: VICTORIA 9434 (8 lines)
TRANSPORT HOUSE (South Block), SMITH SQUARE, LONDON, S.W.1
Secretary: J.S. MIDDLETON
Revised Nov: 3rd
We have received your letter endorsing an appeal which has been circulated by the International Brigade Association that you should send a resolution to your National Executive Committee asking that they should approach the Foreign Office to demand that the British and American Governments should jointly undertake negotiations for the release of all Brigaders, that the matter should be raised in Parliament, and that they should themselves support the efforts of the International Brigade Association for the release and relief of International Brigaders.
For your information and to explain the actual position, we would point out that the part of the problem of the refugees in which you reveal a special interest has already been raised in the House of Commons. Mr. Eden stated in the House of Commons one year ago, October 1st, 1941, that before the end of the Spanish War the Spanish Republican Government repatriated all those members of the International Brigade who were British subjects, and that, according to his information, no British members of the International Brigade were, at that date, interned in France. We may also add that no British member of the International Brigade is interned in Spain, and that no U.S.A. citizens, who were members of the International Brigade, are interned in France or Spain. The circular of the International Brigade Association contains indications that other Governments have interested themselves in the repatriation of their own countrymen.
Mr. Eden stated further that he had no confidence that representations to the Vichy Government, on the lines recommended in your letter, would be likely to produce good results. That is even more true now. The British Government has no diplomatic or consular relations with the Vichy Government. The U.S.A. Government has slender relations but very little influence.
Many of the Brigaders still belong to countries with which we and other countries are now in a state of war. It should be clear to you that the Vichy Government is not willing to facilitate their departure. If they are imprisoned the problem is insoluble. In so far as the Brigaders are nationals of other States, neutral or Allied, it is certainly their Governments and not the British or American Governments who are primarily responsible for taking the initiative for relief or release.
But as a matter of fact, adult persons resident in France, unless they are subjects of neutral states, cannot leave France except illegally. An effort is now being made to save some of the children of anti-Nazi refugees and Allied subjects in France.

Hi folks - started reading this forum (and investing) 2 years ago and finally decided to post something since I couldn't find the answer by searching. Thanks for all the excellent info so far
Contributed $5000 in 2012 to ROTH IRA
Got more income than expected, recharacterized $2500
Fidelity transfers $2574 to my TIRA
Converted TIRA (only has the $2574) to ROTH IRA on 2013
I did not receive a 1099-R. On my 2012 tax return, do I declare the $74 gain and pay its taxes somewhere? Or is that payment deferred until my 2013 tax return?
As a bonus, what do you put as "Reason for Recharacterization"? This is for the Explanation Statement on conversions using TurboTax.
Thank you!

Kyle Wilson Joins Lady Falcons Basketball Staff as Assistant Coach for 2012-2013
August 23, 2012
MISENHEIMER, N.C. - Pfeiffer University's Jill Thomas, head coach of women's basketball, has announced the hiring of Kyle Wilson as the new assistant coach for the Lady Falcons basketball program. Wilson ventures to Pfeiffer after spending the last four years at Adrian College in Michigan in the same position as well as being the Strength and Conditioning Coordinator.
Last season, Wilson and the Bulldogs allowed the second fewest points in school history by opponents at 54.4 per game. The single game blocks record was tied or set on five different occasions while the team also broke school-records for blocked shots in a season, made free throws and free throw attempts in a single game and free throw attempts and steals in a single season.
Previous to Adrian, Wilson spent time at Hanover College in Indiana coaching a two-time All-American, 12 all-conference selections, two 1,000-point scorers and Hanover's all-time leader in points scored and rebounds. Hanover's recruiting classes of 2007 and 2008 left the program with more wins than any other recruiting class at that time.
"I am very honored to announce the hiring of Coach Kyle Wilson," remarked Thomas. "Kyle will have an immediate impact on our program. He has an extremely strong background in strength and conditioning, recruiting and scouting. He will play a major role in continuing to grow our program to a championship level and we are very excited."
Thomas, Wilson and the rest of the Lady Falcons are slated to begin the 2012-2013 basketball season on November 10th at Anderson in South Carolina.

I would repurchase my whole wardrobe and plan to if any of them run out. I only keep what I love.
I guess this a pretty good barometer of how much you like your collection. I surprised myself when thinking about this, because I can only really say two that I will absolutely, 100% purchase again, those being Fahrenheit and Gucci Pour Homme II.
I would repurchase my whole wardrobe and plan to if any of them run out. I only keep what I love.
Hammam Bouquet, Mouchoir de Monsieur, Terre d'Hermes parfum, Back to Black.
Fine fragrance is alive; it breathes, unfolds and unravels with each passing hour....
Roja Dove
Perhaps a few from my massive collection.
Would not want to be without:
And, one that couldn't be more different than the other two...
Go figure
Out of my 30 bottles, I doubt I will finish more than 1 (Creed Aventus in the 1oz size). That's based on real life usage.
Maybe some, especially if they go on sale.
Most of my collection, in an ideal case scenario, all of it.
There are a dozen or so core staples that I wouldn't want to be without and either re-purchase or already have back-ups if they have been discontinued or reformulated.
Sous le Vent
Eau de Guerlain
L'Heure Fougueuse
Tiffany for Men
Philtre d'Amour
Shalimar etc.
Last edited by mr. reasonable; 25th December 2012 at 03:52 PM.
Millesime Imperial
Murdocks Black Tea
Tom Ford Extreme
of what I have right I would buy again
A* men
Rose 31
I like them because they are all different
Aventus, Have 2 DHIs, Have 2 GPHIIs, VIW, GIT, Pure Malt and Havanne. That's the first ones that come to mind.
Maybe 5. Not because I don't like more, but it's unlikely I will finish more that I love than that.
A better indicator would be which bottles, if stolen or lost, would I wish to replace. Please don't make me contemplate that.
Rochas Man.
That is unfortunately it.
Default re-purchases are Eau de Cologne Imperiale and Eau du Coq, of which I go through a few bottles each year. Mouchoir de Monsieur and Blenheim Bouquet are a few other certain re-purchases.
I think I'll buy at least 40% of my collection, I like many of them.
Infact I should say how many wouldn't be bought!
...ca. 50% of my wardrobe...!
Hmmm. Tough one. I cannot be without Jub 25 even though I wear it only a handful times a year, the rest can go.
I adore Boucheron Homme Jaipur EDP and Serge Lutens Ambre Sultan.
MiP , GiT , Dune, Bleu ( yes ) , Musc Ravageur ( when i finish my second bottle ), Pure Malt
LIDGE will always be with me!
My Top 10
1. Amouage Homage Attar
2. Serge Lutens - Muscs Koublai Khan
4. Serge Lutens - Ambre Sultan
5. Chanel Egoiste
6. 24 Gold by Scentstory
7. Amouage Epic Man
8. Amouage Jubilation XXV
9. Bond No. 9 New York Oud
10. Serge Lutens - Chergui
"A beautiful fragrance to the nose is like good jazz music to the ears, great food to the mouth, and Megan Fox and Jessica Alba to the eyes..."
Creed Millesime Imperial
Tom ford tobacco Vanille
Dior Bois D'argent
Xerjoff uden
Dior homme intense
Guerlain SDV
FRAPIN l'huminaste
Musc ravaguer
Serge lutens un Bois vanille
The fifty of them that I own right now. Only keep the ones I like, and have already replenished the used bottles of them when I run out
my collection will honestly last me over 5 years. by then, there's no way of knowing. maybe half.
whichever ones i end up loving and running out of.
Definitely purchase again?
Midnight in Paris, edp,
Dior Homme Intense,
Bois de Portugal,
Tobacco Vanille.
These for certain will be purchased again. I sure their are others I cannot recall at this moment.
Millesime Imperial
Habit Rouge EDP
Original Santal
Polo Double Black
Dolce and Gabana The One
Amouage jubilation xxv
Le Labo Baie Rose 26
Dolce and Gabana The One
Amouage jubilation xxv
Le Labo Baie Rose 26
Dune pour Homme
I'd maybe repurchase 50% of my collection,
but especially the five mentioned above.
I too only have what i love. I do love some more than others, and those are the ones i wear regularly. I have had quite a few throughout the years that i have purchased, used up, purchased a 2nd time and then couldnt stomach them.
i have a bottle of Emporio HE from 1999 or so that is my 2nd bottle. I can't stand the smell anymore. I go for the bottle now and then, because the memory of when i did wear it is was great. But as soon as i take a wiff, i back off.
Now my main frags are Aventus, Terre d'Hermes, Voyage d'Hermes, Dior Homme (sometimes Intense as well), Prada APH
And on occasion, i spray on some of my vintage D&G PH. Only 2 bottles left.
I try to keep updated a top 40 of my collection, so the new 'very most wanted' entries have a place in it. I noticed that in the last couple of years I've bought much more than I expected, so in reality I use only small fractions of the entire collection.
Short answer: about 70% of my wardrobe.
"I love fragrances because they provide a sheer endless variety: there is a scent for every occasion, mood or feeling. Standing before my collection in the morning matching a perfume to my needs is one of the most enjoyable things in my day"...I don't want to miss that...
Current Top 15 Spring: | Dior Fahrenheit | L'Artisan Parf. Timbuktu | Dior Eau Sauvage Parfum | Tom Ford Grey Vetiver | T.Mugler A*Men Pure Wood | Cartier Must PH | Guerlain L'Instant | Narciso Rodriguez Him | Trussardi Inside | YSL Kouros | C.H. 212 on Ice Black | Versace Versus | Givenchy PH | Lancome Miracle L'Aquatonic | Azzaro PH |
Tough call. But I probably wouldn't want to be without Invasion Barbare, Sartorial, 24 rue Cambon, Noir Patchouli and Tubereuse Capricieuse .
I think Ungaro III vintage, because i don't have it more than 2 bottles. Memoir Man as well. I guess i have enough of all the rest in my collection so i won't run out off them.
"Le parfum est la musique du corps"
(Marcel Rochas)
1 Million, Angel Men and Mont Blanc Legend.
Not sure if I would purchase Allure Homme Sport again.
I'd honestly purchase quite a few of my frags again, but the couple I am gonna need to restock pretty imminently are :
Creed - Aventus
The Different Company - Sel de Vetiver. I absolutely love this stuff, smells really different, unique and amazing.
***My friend, there are two kinds of people in this world : those with loaded guns, and those who dig. You dig.***
GIT, MI and LIDGE for definite re buys.
Aventus and pure havane maybe..
Boss Bottled. Although I still have about 175 ml left.
Possible GPH II
DH & DHI, Prada amber ph & Prada Infusion D'homme, Gucci p2 & Armani diamonds.
My favourites.
Egoiste, Rive Gauche, 1881, Live Jazz, Kouros, Bulgari PH, Dior Homme, Michael Kors and Nina Ricci Phileas. (If I can find any)
Probably all of them, as and when I run out of them. But I reckon that what I have will pretty much see me through until I have to don the old pine overcoat..
Life's a bitch. If it were a slut it'd be easy.
Aramis 900
HdP 1740
Encre Noire
Cuir De Russie
That was surprisingly simple.
About of 90% of the fragrances I bought bottles of.
Dior Homme
YSL L'Homme
Maybe also GPH2 even though I have some longevity issues..
Almost all perfumes of my Wardrobe
Have I told you about the scent of jasmine? Have I spoken about the smell of the sea? The earth is scented. And I perfume myself to enhance what I am. That's why I can not wear a perfume that bothers me. Perfuming is an instinctive wisdom. And like all art, it requires some knowledge of yourself..."
Clarice Lispector ( 1920-1977) - Perfumes da Terra / Earth Perfumes
RGPH every time but only if I come upon a brand new tin can.
Bel ami, new or vintage
Habit rouge
Derby vintage (bee bottle)
Perchance GIT
Agree, not need to mention, Les Eaux...
Last edited by Papi Le Bon; 27th December 2012 at 06:50 PM.
So far I'm reasonably happy with my purchases.
I'd repurchase:
MI, GIT, Himalaya, TV (decant), Jubilation XXV (decant), Aventus, etc.
Frapin - 1697 (absolu concentration if I could locate it again)
Frapin - 1270
Amouage - Jubilation XXV for Men
Costume National - Scent Intense
Maison Francis Kurkdjian - Absolue Pour le Soir
Serge Lutens - Gris Clair
Bond no. 9 - Silver Factory
Tauer - L`Air du Desert Marocain
Original Vetiver
Silver Mountain Water
Gucci Pour Homme II
Burberry London
Rochas Man
Tobacco Vanille
There are a few that I won't be without (and I already have backups of a couple)
RGPH, I have a second tin can on the way
Fahrenheit, just received a second bottle (along with shower gel and deodorant for Christmas)
Tuscany by Aramis, have two bottles
Guerlain Vetiver, have one bottle but I will buy again when I run low
Probably about 40 out of my rather large collection. Some of the essentials that I cannot be without are: Bvlgari Black, Burberry London, Eau des Baux, Paul Smith Man, Fahrenheit, Body Korous, Vera Wang, Dunhill Pure, Corduroy, Live Jazz and more.
My Ultimate Top 5:
Fahrenheit (1988)
Paul Smith Man (2009)
Burberry London (2006)
Prada Amber pour Homme (2006)
Arpege pour Homme (2005)
Aventus (30ml) and Chanel PE are running fairly low. I'd buy them both again immediately.
I continually rotate about 70% of my fragrances. Therefore I would purchase them again. The others I will keep for collective purposes.
Of the perfumes that I have collected so far, it would be easier to say which I wouldn't buy again. There are really only four that I find either overpriced and underwhelming, or, I just don't like the juice:
Navegar(L'Artisan) V8 anyone?
No. 68(Guerlain) Kitchen sink concoction
Cool Water(Davidoff) Not my cup of juice
Bois d'Armenie(Guerlain) over/under.

Tonka Imperial
Prada Amber Pour Homme
Tobacco Vanille
Tea for Two
Menthe Fraiche
Pure Havane
Rive Gauche (+1 back up bottle)
Those are fragrances I would definitely purchase again.
Current top 10 (No order):
1. Pure Havane
2. Menthe Fraiche
3. Tobacco Vanille
4. L'Air Du Desert Marocain
5. Green Irish Tweed
6. Fahrenheit
7. Musc Ravageur
8. Tonka Imperial
9. Gucci Pour Homme II
10. Dior Homme Intense
I think my taste is constantly changing. I can say now I cant live without Odin 01, Allure Edition Blanche, and Pure Havane, my current favorites. I dont love them as much as I did a few months back so I can assume I wont love them as much by the time I ever finish. My collection is constantly growing so I dont see it happening anytime soon. If there was a timeless fragrances I had to buy only due to my work it be Boss Bottled.

1. Voodoo
2. Arc Angels
3. Carnival
Emeka Okafor - Joe Smith - Carmelo Anthony - Manu Ginobili - Jason Williams
Al Jefferson - James Posey - Aaron McKie - Shaun Livingston
Was reading the paper today (while I can), and saw an article about the retirement of a local institution...and thought the New Orleans Nobles sounds pretty good. Thoughts?
More modernly speaking, Mardi Gras is centered around the concept of "Royalty." King Rex, the King of Carnival. The King and Queen of Zulu, the Queen of Muses, etc. Every Krewe has a Royal Court, made up of Maids and Dukes. The Colors of Mardi Gras, Purple (Justice), Green (Faith) and Gold (Power) not only carry Regal significance, they were also chosen as the official colors by the Grand Duke Alexis Alexandrovitch Romanoff of Russia on a visit to Carnival in 1872. The formal end of Mardi Gras arrives with "the Meeting of the Courts", a the ceremony at which Rex and His Royal Consort, the King and Queen of Carnival, meet with Comus and his Queen at the ball of the Mistick Krewe of Comus. We can't forget about the King Cake and it's significance to Mardi Gras and New Orleans as well.
So as you can see, the name "Royals" has a much deeper and more diversified significance to New Orleans than even the good nicknames such as Blues, Crescents, Pelicans and especially more than the WNBA gimmicks such as Krewe, Voodoo, and Bounce.
If there was a way to pry it from Sacremento, I would love to have that name. It's a name with signifiance and class. A big time free agent could say, "I want to be a Royal." Sounds better than "I want to be a Bounce, a Voodoo, or a Krewe." Screams WNBA.
Also, there ain't nothin Royal about Kansas City, Sacremento, or Anaheim. Just sayin.
"I'm excited to be a New Orleans Bounce." huh???
"Tonight on ESPN, Derrick Rose and the Chicago Bulls Take on Anthony Davis and the New Orleans Voodoo!"

The Kansas City Royals name was from the American Royal livestock and annual rodeo held in KC since 1899. It's also a tribute to the Kansas City Monarchs of the Negro Leagues. Obviously you rather talk out of your butt instead of just using the facts. It's a constant theme of your posts.
Please Dave and Tom, let us change the name tomorrow. Just so these threads can close. Please.
I know I could just stop reading or posting, but that's much harder than Dave saying Tom can change the name, and Tom just changing the name.
He could call it the New Orleans Boogies (can't believe I didn't use this before), and I would be happy. Voodoo, Dukes, Krewe, Cheese, Bridges, wtf, just change it. Please for the love of God, make it happen.

I don't like when people try to come up with deep reasons why they don't like a name. Just say you don't like the name, that it's your opinion, and move on with it. I don't like the name Krewe. I don't have a deep reason why. I just don't. I like Voodoo, Pelicans, Knights, Dukes, and most other names. I don't have a deep reason why. I just do. Coming up with reasons for having an opinion on a name that devolve into ridiculous debates is just...well...ridiculous.
a couple of really good P efforts by Panic, but now for the P that will have all of us feeling so much better after a few beers....the New Orleans Ponchartrains!

Bill Belichick press conferences have quickly become my favorite thing about football in New England. His gruff, non-answer Q & A sessions with the media are �comically absurd. "It is what it is" covers everything from next week's opponent to Tim Tebow to defensive coverages to Aaron Hernandez. In other words, Belichick (a Hingham resident I might add) has perfected the art of saying nothing by saying something. Not that clergy could every be accused of that…
Anyway, it made me wonder what would happen if clergy took a Belichickian approach to coffee hour. Here's what I came up with using (more or less) actual Bill Belichick press conference answers:
Q: What happened with the acolytes at the gospel procession? Are you actively recruiting new ones?
A: I'm only talking about the personnel we have. Anything else is speculation
Q: The readings appointed for today seemed to give you some trouble. Are you looking forward to next week's lessons?
A:��I don't decide what the readings are.�I'm not going to comment on something I don't have control over.
Q: Are you disappointed by the lack of munchkins at coffee hour?
A: Are munchkins mentioned in the Bible?
Q: Is the vestry excited about the new adult education program?
A: You'd have to ask them about that.
Q: The new Sunday School curriculum looks really engaging. Are you excited about it?
A: We'll see how it goes.
Q: Did you know there are weeds growing in the church yard?
A: I'm responsible for every aspect of church life.
Q: Do you really think adding another service on Sunday morning is going to work?
A: We just try to do what's in the best interest of the parish.
Q: Did you notice attendance is down this year?
A: It is what it is.
Okay, back to post-church football watching. �Love this time of year!

Fellow nontheists, I will just make sure to tell you that this is my first post. The chief reason for my registration, besides me being very fond of Sam's books and essays, was that his blog post "Christian Terrorism and Islamophobia" really struck a chord with me. As a lot of you may know, Norway was a victim of an atrocity not matched since WWII. If you are not aware of this, I suggest you go and read Sam's blog post, and then, I'm sure, we can be on the same page. In this post I also want to address Norway's atheism, something I think a lot of people are curious about.
First, I think I should inform you of my standpoint to prevent any confusion from arising: I am best described as the Christopher Hitchens-esque anti-theist: I have been a non-believer pretty much all my life, but after reading his books in addition to Dawkins's and Harris's books, I found myself to be an anti-theist.
Onwards to Norway's atheism: There are, as you have heard, a lot of secularists in Norway; however, there are not as many atheists and agnostics as people are purporting there to be. One finds the predominant views here to be liberal religious, or non-believers with a tedious habit of defending religion like the most avid of the fundamentalists. In fact, the people I have encountered most criticism of my religious views from, have all come from the latter. I am rarely "blessed" to meet people who share my view points, but I have no trouble being a lone wolf. If anybody wants to know anything else about this subject, just ask and I will try to address the matter as best as I can.
Now to the terrorist attacks: At first, I, like so many others, had my suspicions of a terrorist attack by Al Qaida because of their strenuous promise to revenge Osama Bin Laden's death; nevertheless, I did not want to draw hasty conclusions based on mere suspicions, so I decided to wait for the data to come in. After Andreas Behring Breivik was caught, it really came as a shock to hear that he had, in the span of only 1-2 hours, killed over 80 young, political active people. A bomb attack on Norway I have actually thought was just a matter of time, but I did not foresee the severity of this callous, appalling tragedy.
Like the anti-theist I am, I reject all religion, but I think we can say that, for the time being, Islam is the one religion that poses the biggest threats. Now, I have to clarify that I am NOT a racist, at all. Nor do I have anything against Muslims personally; I have some Muslim friends – liberals and fundamentals. The aftermath of this, I fear, is going to severely restrict my ability to not get labeled as an Islamophobic person. And it is for this reason I find it hard to, like Sam said, be open and candid about the truth.
Nevertheless, all kinds of different people over the ages, who have had controversial and subsequently accepted view points, so I think that this is just an even more important reason for me to make my case, and I know, judged by my own merits, I am not a racist, or anything remotely of the kind.

In a shocking interview, Stephanie Santoro, the Gosselin babysitter who was romantically involved with Jon, exclusively told RadarOnline.com the explosive news that Jon has been hacking into Kate's email, phone and on-line banking accounts! After many denials to the contrary, on Tuesday Jon was ordered by a Pennsylvania judge to return $180,000 that he stole from an account he shared with Kate. Wait until Kate and the judge learn that he's been stealing her information too!
PHOTOS: Jon Gosselin Shops at Pier One
"Jon told me that he pretty much hacked into everything of Kate's that he had access to," Jon's former short term girlfriend Stephanie told RadarOnline.com: "Her online banking, that he had a trace on every single one of her emails so anytime she would get an email he would get a copy of it!"
Watch Jon Admit Taking $155,000 From Kate
Despite his recent media blitz where he said he was trying to work things out with the mother of his eight children, Stephanie said that Jon has been plotting for a while to financially harm Kate. "He told me that he had enough there that when the ball dropped he would have enough to completely screw her over," Santoro said about Jon Gosselin.
PHOTOS: Jon and the Kids Carve Halloween Pumpkins
Jon hasn't been playing fair with Kate since he started dating other women, taking his girlfriend on yachts in France and dining in fancy Beverly Hills restaurants. "When it comes down to it, he will use every single thing against her," Stephanie told RadarOnline.com
Jon & Kate Plus 8 Officially Ending In November
Jon doesn't seem afraid of people knowing that he is illegally hacking into Kate's accounts. Stephanie told us "Jon threatens everyone that he will sue them if they tell what they know." Santoro said Jon's lawyers have left her family voice mail messages, but that she has not been sued by Jon yet.
PHOTOS: Kate Picks Up the Twins After Court
The big secret might be a strange one to tell, considering all that Jon has to lose when the news comes out, but Stephanie told RadarOnline.com "I guess it's just the fact that we trusted each other."
Jon doesn't exactly seem like the best person to trust now.

Conservation Corps helped pull U.S. out of Depression, taught a generation

The CCC used lumber cut at Deception Pass to build the structures for the state park. In this photo from November, 1934, a log-cutting competition between two Civilian Conservation Corps members attracts a crowd of other CCC members.

Art Unruh, of Arlington, was 17 when he joined the Civilian Conservation Corps to help build a dam on Bluff Creek near Kingsdown, Kan., in about 1940. Unruh drove a CCC truck nearly 1,000 miles to pick up a water pump for the dam project.

The spruced-up center
His mother didn't want him to go. An immigrant from Finland, she was afraid people in their Lowell neighborhood would think her family was on the public dole.
Without a word, Rinne left behind his family and classmates at Everett High School and hopped an Army truck headed to Camp Quilcene on Hood Canal. There, he helped build roads and bridges on the Olympic Peninsula.
It's been 80 years since the corps had its start during the height of the Great Depression. Commemorative programs to celebrate the anniversary are scheduled tonight and Saturday morning at the Civilian Conservation Corps Interpretive Center at Deception Pass State Park.
Rinne, now 94, is among the small number of still-living former CCC members. From 1933 to 1942, about 3 million young, single men from ages 17 to 25 served in work camps in rural areas across the country.
One of the CCC's camp that operated in Snohomish County was in Darrington. From there, the young men planted trees and built forest fire lookouts, roads, bridges and the Forest Service headquarters. For that generation, the work of the corps also led to a greater public awareness of the country's natural resources, forests and other public lands.
"The CCC really helped me," Rinne said. "I learned a lot and I wouldn't have had a job otherwise. We earned $30 a month and $25 of that was sent home to my mother and father. That left me $5 to buy tobacco and have some spending money."
The civilian job corps was the most popular of President Franklin D. Roosevelt's programs designed to pull the country from the depths of economic collapse. Many of the CCC men went on to serve in the military during World War II.
Ervin Schmidt, 97, of Everett, was one of those. A Navy veteran, he survived the attack on Pearl Harbor on Dec. 7, 1941, which marked the U.S. entrance into World War II.
Before he joined the Navy, Schmidt spent nearly two years in the CCCs at Camp Sparta in northern Wisconsin working in soil erosion control.
"The CCC was the best program Roosevelt and Congress ever put together," Schmidt said. "It helped us out of the Depression and did a lot of good for our generation. It was the best thing for America at the time, and if we could do it again, it'd be the best thing for our country now. We need to renew our industries, give young people skills and give them hope and motivation. The CCC certainly motivated me."
Art Unruh, 90, a World War II Air Force veteran who lives in Arlington, was 17 when he joined the Civilian Conservation Corps. He and his fellow corpsmen helped build a dam on Bluff Creek near Kingsdown, Kan.
"Those were the Depression years and my family was broke. We put cardboard in our shoes because the soles were worn out," Unruh said. "But in the 3Cs, I got new shoes, new clothes, three meals a day, a high school diploma, guidance and job skills."
And a sense of responsibility.
"We had a lot on our shoulders. For example, I was only 17 and I drove one of our camp trucks nearly 500 miles to Omaha, Neb., to pick up a water pump," Unruh said. "Because they trusted us, we did the best job we could."
Like Schmidt, Unruh believes a similar program today would help the United States.
"I wish to heck we had it today. We have big problems. Our country and our infrastructure are falling apart," Unruh said. "A lot of kids today have no jobs and no sense of purpose. Think what we could accomplish if we could put them to work."
After his service in the CCC on Hood Canal, Rinne joined the U.S. Merchant Marine during World War II.
"After my time in the Civilian Conservation Corps, I felt I owed something to my country," Rinne said. "It was good training and it made me grow up."
Gale Fiege: 425-339-3427; firstname.lastname@example.com.
Ren and Helen Davis, authors of "Our Mark on This Land: A Guide to the Legacy of the Civilian Conservation Corps in America's Parks," plan to present a program at 7:30 tonight at the CCC Interpretive Center on Bowman Bay at Deception Pass State Park. At 10 a.m. Saturday, park rangers plan a tour of the CCC historic sites and structures at the park.

Fura-Zone Wound Ointment is a water soluable agent used for the treatment and prevention of infections in surface wounds and abrasions on horses and ponies. Read more...
Anti-microbial agent used for the prevention or treatment of surface bacterial infections in wounds, burns, and cutaneous ulcers.Water soluble. Apply directly on the lesion using a spatula or a piece of gauze. For best results, keep in contact with the lesion for at least 24 hours. Wear gloves or wash hands thoroughly after applying. Active ingredient: Nitrofurazone. 1 lb.
Overall Rating: 5 StarsAverage Based on 1 Reviews Write a Review
Fura-Zone is a tried and true wound dressing as far as I'm concerned. Every stable I've ever worked at has without fail had a jar or three on hand. It is unbeatable for wound protection. It clings well, and in a decently thick layer will protect wounds from dirt and dust. When wounds are closed but still in danger of cracking and scarring it keeps them supple enough to heal smoothly.

HTML, Javascript and the app-ification of the Web
At 3scale we're often asked, "Which Web architecture will win? HTML5 or App+API?" And our answer is generally, "Both, they are converging." A great recent post by Zendesk's Alexander Aghassipour and Shajith Chacko on Single page apps illustrates a big piece of how this is happening.
The post described in a nutshell what might be one of the most powerful trends in Web app design — the move from multipage Web applications to single page applications driven by javascript and access to a powerful API. New frontend frameworks like Backbone.js, Ember.js, Angular.js, and Meteor are driving this trend, and Zendesk is not alone in adopting it. Gmail and Google Docs have long used single page models. New apps like Trello are using it out of the gate, and elements of single page apps (such as infinite scrolling/loading, in-line content) are found on popular consumer sites such as Twitter, Facebook, and Pintrest.
While there are still issues with how history is handled (much improved in HTML5) and SEO that mean the approach might not be a good fit for content heavy sites, expect a big shift towards this type of architecture especially for SAAS Web Apps where it provides a genuine jump forward in usability.
As well as being an evolution in Web design however, this shift also signals a much wider trend in in the Web as a whole — a separation of the functional layer as an API and the presentation layer in the form of the App (HTML5 or native):
- The Single Page + API Model is much more flexible than a HTML heavy page based application since the underlying API can be used to power a multitude of different front ends for different contexts, form factors and device types. Once the API is in-place, it can often be used to serve multiple audience with different needs (e.g. channel partners v's end users).
- The model also means that native web apps get much closer in feel to mobile and desktop applications – helping users get a similar user experience whatever platform they are on. Mobile Backend as a Service platforms such as Stackmob, Parse, Appcelerator, Kinvey, and Kii are also helping this convergence by standardising some elements of the backend API and providing cross-platform user experiences that resemble single page models.
- Protocols like openAuth (oAuth) are becoming widely adopted as the gold standard for user authorization and provide a common pattern which separates login/authorization issues out from the application and content. For the first time this means that user identity can be cleanly separated from content, functionality and user-experience.
Single Page Apps arguably represent the final step in the unbundling of Web technology — which started by separating out formatting from content (CSS), progressed to flexibility in structure (XML and XSLT), moved to disconnecting the page model from server calls (AJAX) and now unbundles the page structure from application navigation. This is a profound change in the way the Web works.
It is early days for this Web trend, but look out for Single Page Apps, APIs, and Javascript as a combination that will begin to become the norm for many modern applications.
So again, when we're asked, "HTML5 of App+API?", we say "Both" — the two worlds are converging faster than ever before and Single Page Apps are a big piece of the puzzle. It also seems likely that as issues with navigation, history, and SEO impacts are resolved Single Page Apps might also start appearing for content heavy sites — leading to an "App-ification" of even more of the Web.
[Zendesk's original post gives an intro as to why Single Page Apps might be worth considering for your App, and there's a great comparison of some of the leading frameworks on Steve Andersons's Blog.]

Vancouver Whitecaps FC defeat FC Edmonton 3-2 in the ACC semifinal first leg
Highlights: FC Edmonton 2 - 3 Whitecaps FC
EDMONTON, AB – In the first leg of their Amway Canadian Championship semifinal, Vancouver Whitecaps FC (ACC 1W-0L-0D) needed a late winner by substitute Tommy Heinemann to come from behind and defeat FC Edmonton (ACC 0W-1L-0D) by a score of 3-2 at Commonwealth Stadium.
Whitecaps FC head coach Martin Rennie dressed a mix of experience and youth in a lineup that featured the likes of Canadian international Russell Teibert, midfielder Nigel Reo-Coker, striker Camilo, and defender Greg Klazura.
It took just a few minutes for Vancouver to take the lead, when Camilo struck a low free kick through the box, past FC Edmonton goalkeeper Lance Parker, and into the right-bottom corner of the net.
Just two minutes later, the Eddies equalized when Andy O'Brien attempted to clear the ball, but instead the high ball was headed by Michael Cox over 'Caps keeper Brad Knighton and into the net.
In the 28th minute, a perfectly placed corner by Lance Laing led to a goal by Chris Nurse, when the English midfielder headed in the floating ball passed Knighton as the Eddies took a 2-1 lead against the favoured 'Caps.
Two minutes later, on 30 minutes, a blast from Daryl Fordyce inside the 18-yard box was blocked by the face of Knighton, as the Belfast native attempted to increase the Eddies' lead.
On 43 minutes, a cross into the box by Camilo was headed by Darren Mattocks towards the Eddies' net, but Parker was there to make the easy save.
After a disappointing first half, the 'Caps looked to rebound in the final 45 minutes with a solid attacking effort.
In the 47th minute, Budweiser Man of the Match Reo-Coker put a well-placed cross into the box, where Mattocks jumped high to head the ball towards the goal, but the ball was stopped by Parker.
Following a yellow card being awarded to Laing on 54 minutes, the resulting free kick led to a header by O'Brien that was stopped by Parker.
Even though the second half was action filled, the final ten minutes proved to be the most exciting.
In the 82nd minute, Camilo converted a penalty kick to equalize for the 'Caps, as the match was tied 2-2.
Six minutes later, in the 88th minute, second half sub Heinemann gave the Blue and White the decisive goal. After Edmonton defender Eddie Edward headed the ball off the post, Heinemann was quick to react and poke the ball past Parker. With that, the match ended in a 3-2 win for Whitecaps FC heading into the second leg of the semifinal next Wednesday, May 1 at BC Place.
After the match, head coach Martin Rennie evaluated his team's performance.
"I'm very happy that we came out with the win but certainly it was a tough game and credit to Edmonton. I thought they played very well tonight," said Rennie. "It's a good win for us and it puts us in a good position going into next week."

This proposal is heavily inspired by the changes that are made to many linux applications within the last years. Apache, crontab, X11, php...
My debian machine has 45 "*.d" directories within /etc...
Problems with huge poms
The pom.xml files I use, become really huge sometimes.
Escpecially if developer informations and other "static" data is added, the poms start to grow really fast.
The informations described in the pom cover many different scopes and are changed with a different rate.
There are several shortcomings when only one file is used to store all those informations.
- big (maybe unreadable) file
- many revisions due to many changes; results into
- hard to track changes (ever tried to find the revision, a dependency has changed in?)
- more (unnecessary) conflicts/merges in a multi developer setup
Proposal: "pom.d"
Of course it is very easy for small projects to just create a small pom.xml. So I suggest to keep this possibility. But optionally it should be possible to create a directory called "pom.d"
All files within this directory are virtually merged to one pom.xml file. So it is possible to keep several files for different scopes. Best practices could be to create a file for dependencies ("dependencies.xml"), one for build configurations, another for the developers section. The file names should/could reflect the name of the xml tag they contain/represent.
- Changes can be tracked down much faster
- searching for dependency changes only affects revisions of "dependencies.xml"
- Lesser conflicts/merges necessary
- shorter files --> easier to navigate and locate informations
- template/shared files may be copied/linked into the directory
- some other proposals ask for thinks that could be solved with this option very easily
- this could be done using SVN copy / external definitions. But maybe there could also be added some kind of special references later.
- Adding hibernate/spring/myComplexDependency could be a one liner.
Backward compatibility
I suggest to keep the current behaviour and add the new pom.d directoy only as option to offer an easy way to migrate maven 2.0.x projects. Creating a new plugin that converts a pom.xml into a pom.d directory with several files within should be a task of only a few minutes.
Autogenerating a pom.xml for backward compatibility is an easy task too.
Necessary changes
Only the parsing code of the pom.xml must be changed.
One problem is, that there exist several 3rd party parsers (IDE integration etc.). But they should be able to implement the changes very fast.
Maybe it is necessary to change/extend the XML schema for those files. Could anyone provide some informations about this issue?

Men's Tennis Falls to #17 USC-Aiken 7-2
February 17, 2010
MISENHEIMER, N.C. Ranked #17 in the country, the USC-Aiken mens tennis team took a 7-2 decision over Pfeiffer University on Wednesday afternoon. Despite being very closely contested, the Pacers took all three doubles match at the Knapp Tennis Center. USC-Aiken improves to 3-1 on the season while the Falcons even up at 1-1.
In doubles, the #1 match went the distance 9-8, going into a 7-3 tiebreak in favor of Juan Ponce and Gregory Andrade of USC-Aiken. The middle match saw the Falcons Frank Pouchet and Andrea Cazzaro fall 8-5 before Pfeiffer lost another tough match at #3 doubles as the tandem of Luis Villalta and Sid Kaushik fell 8-6.
Singles action saw Pfeiffer take wins at number three and five but couldnt manage any other points against a tough Pacer squad. Johan de Wit took a 6-3, 7-6 (12-10) win in the three spot while Pouchet earned a four and three straight-sets win against Ben Klass. The Pacers took straight sets wins at number two and four while Andrade, after falling to Pfeiffers Cazzaro 6-4 in the first set, had to fight back for a 6-2, 6-3 win at number one.
The Falcons will get back to action next Wednesday traveling to Florence, SC for a match with Francis Marion. Pfeiffer will tangle with the Patriots beginning at 3:00 p.m.

Dear Gossips,
Kaillie Humphries and Heather Moyse, the first female bobsledders to win back-to-back gold medals at the Olympics. Well that deserves a spotlight, non?
I like the way Russia's Adelina Sotnikova slammed the boards "let's go!" before she skated. Like, f-ck you, world, and my own country a little maybe too, for ignoring me for the 15 year old.
So I was a genius yesterday. I sat on my bag. It had my laptop in it. It was more like a plop. You know how you throw yourself into a chair ass first? F-cked up my tailbone. Standing is fine. Lying down is fine. Sitting is the hell. They had to shoot me from greenroom, lying down on the couch, on The Social.

Dear Gossips,
It was Yulia Lipnitskaya who dominated the discussion on the ladies' figure skating side last week. Some believe she was over-judged. That they were so charmed by her pluck and precociousness they've ranked her higher than she deserves to be ranked. That she will eventually get there but that she's definitely not there yet, and certainly not as there as her competitors. Who's that? Well, Gracie Gold is one of them. Which is why Gold's coach, Frank Carroll, offered this bitchy remark when commenting on Yulia's team skate performance:
"I do think she's wonderful, but she's a little girl. Should we call it the little girl Olympics or is it the Olympic ladies' champion?"
Oh it's time now. Read Full Intro
Dear Gossips,
Tina Maze won the Giant Slalom today in Sochi. It was her second gold medal of the Games after winning Slovenia's first gold medal ever last week. But…did you know she's a rocker?

Dear Gossips,
Evgeni Plushenko has retired. And that sucks. Because the competition lacked a lot of hips yesterday. We all lose when there aren't enough hips. But you know what I did love about the whole situation? It's that his retirement basically dominated the event. He didn't skate and the conversation was still about him. His retirement announcement afterwards only made it more so. Like, he couldn't wait until the Games were over before confirming it so as to not take (even more of) the spotlight away from the field?
Of course not.
In blasting out his retirement yesterday, Plushy not only pulled a Mimi (ME ME ME ME), he also made everyone else feel like no matter what happens, even if they win, there will always be something missing – because they didn't win over HIM. Read Full Intro
Dear Gossips,
Shani Davis did not win yesterday although he still has a chance for another gold on Saturday. To me, it doesn't matter, especially not when you consider what he's done for diversity at the Winter Olympics through his career. Some are calling these games the most inclusive Winter Olympics ever. And that's definitely a positive. But we've still a long way to go on representation. Athletics is not unlike education – it comes down to access and opportunity. As Davis himself said, when asked whether or not the next generation of American speedskaters would feature those from a variety of different backgrounds, he answered honestly:
"Unfortunately, I don't think that will ever happen. The price of an oval is very [expensive]. It's not a mainstream sport like football or basketball. Read Full Intro

President Barack Obama should release crude from the Strategic Petroleum Reserve to stem rising gasoline prices, three U.S. House Democrats said, a move the energy industry opposes."This most-recent run-up in prices is primarily the result of fear driving oil markets," Representatives Ed Markey of Massachusetts, Peter Welch of Vermont and Rosa DeLauro of Connecticut said today in a letter to Obama. "We urge you to consider again deploying oil" in the reserve "to combat the rapid price escalations resulting from speculation." The administration declined to comment on the request.The American Petroleum Institute, the biggest U.S. lobbying group for the industry, said releasing oil from about 696 million barrels held in the reserve might push prices lower for a short time, if at all.

Every time you walk into a grocery store, you face a daunting task: picking the healthiest, most nutrient-packed foods to fuel your running from thousands of choices. Supermarkets today carry an average of 38,718 items, according to the Food Marketing Institute. Colorful packaging, deceptive claims, and hidden ingredients confuse even the savviest shopper. Who wants to waste precious running time dithering over yogurt? This aisle-by-aisle guide tells you exactly which nutritious (and delicious!) foods you should toss into your cart and which health-food impostors you should run away from. Our expert tips will help you shop smarter, so you can get in, get out, and get back to running—fast.
"Fruits and vegetables are loaded with vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants runners need to support training," says Tara Gidus, M.S., R.D., an Orlando-based sports dietitian and marathoner. "In general, the more color in your shopping cart, the more antioxidants and nutrients you're going to get."
Beets Nitrates found in beets can make your muscles work more efficiently during exercise by reducing the amount of oxygen they need.
Raspberries Eight grams of fiber in a single cup. "Higher fiber foods help runners maintain a healthy body weight and digestive system," says Gidus.
Kale Jam-packed with vitamin C, vitamin K, and vision-protecting beta-carotene. Add it to soups, saute it for a side, or add to salads and sandwiches.
Avocado Nearly 70 percent of its fat is monounsaturated, "the same kind that makes olive oil heart-healthy," Gidus says. Half an avocado also delivers seven grams of fiber.
Sweet potato One potato provides more than three times your daily need for immune-boosting vitamin A. ''It's full of complex carbohydrates,'' Gidus says, ''which helps keep your energy stores topped up."
Mango High vitamin C intake may reduce upper-respiratory-tract infections, as well as help lower your heart rate during exercise. One cup of mango delivers 75 percent of your daily need for C.
Eggplant Eggplant, which has just 20 calories per cup, contains antioxidants with heart-protective qualities.
Plums A study from Texas AgriLife Research found that plums contain as much antioxidant power as blueberries. "Consuming plenty of antioxidants," says Gidus, "may reduce postworkout muscle-tissue damage, speed recovery, and boost immune function."
Banana It brims with potassium and quick-digesting carbs. "Potassium plays a key role in muscle contraction, with low levels linked to muscle cramping," Gidus says.
Tofu Usually located in the produce department, tofu is an inexpensive and low-fat protein source. Add it to stir-frys, chili, or even pasta sauce.
Not sure when to buy organic? If you're peeling or removing the rind (avocado, bananas, or onions), conventionally grown produce is fine. If you're going to eat the exterior (apples, peaches, bell peppers), buying organic will limit your pesticide exposure.
Presliced packaged fruit Slicing ahead of time exposes more surface area, raising the risk for nutrient loss from oxygen exposure. And the packages are more expensive than whole fruit.
Iceberg lettuce One of the most popular vegetables is also one of the least nutrient-dense. In general, the darker the leafy green, the bigger the nutritional bang.
Bottled smoothies Many are sweetened with sugar or nutritionally poor juices like apple or pear. Plus, they almost always cost much more than making your own.
iPhone users can download apps to help them choose sustainable seafood with low contaminant levels. The FishPhone app from Blue Ocean Institute ranks fish choices, as does the Seafood Watch app from the Monterey Bay Aquarium, which also provides regional recommendations.
Good for You: HAPPY MEAT
Organic meat costs more but limits your exposure to the antibiotics and growth hormones used in conventionally raised livestock. ''Free range'' means only that animals have access to outdoor spaces. Grass-fed beef is a smart choice: A 2010 California State University study found that, compared to conventionally raised cattle, it's lower in saturated fat and richer in heart-healthy omega-3s and vitamin E.
|Best Buys!
|Good News
|Bad News
|Eye, top, and bottom round; sirloin; flank steak; 90 or 95 percent lean ground beef
|Contain about 18 grams of protein per 3-ounce serving and no more than 6 grams of fat
|Rib-eye, porterhouse, and T-bone steaks; 80-percent lean ground beef
|''These cuts have the highest fat-to-protein ratio,'' says Marni Sumbal, M.S., R.D. Three ounces pack 12 to 18 grams of fat.
|Skinless chicken thighs; turkey legs
|A 3-ounce thigh contains 18 grams of protein and 3 grams of fat—just one more gram than breast meat. Remove the skin, and turkey legs have the same protein-to-fat ratio as chicken thighs.
|Ground turkey; enhanced chicken breast
|If it includes skin, ground poultry can have as much fat as ground beef. Enhanced chicken is injected with saltwater to keep it moist; 3 ounces can pack more than 300 mg of sodium.
|Pork Pork tenderloin; boneless pork loin chops
|Contain 3 grams of fat and 18 grams of protein per 3 ounces, making them nearly as lean as chicken breast
|Premarinated cuts; pork blade chops
|''Premarinated meats have tons of sodium,'' says Sumbal. Pork blade packs about 21 grams of fat per 3 ounces.
GOOD Eat these two to three times a month
Protein-rich and inexpensive, U.S.-farmed tilapia is virtually free of saturated fat and is farmed in an environmentally sound way; but it's relatively high in omega-6 fats, which promote inflammation in the body.
Sea scallops
Populations are abundant and contamination risk is low, but harvesting methods can be harmful to the ocean. Farmed bay scallops are a more eco-wise option.
BETTER Eat these two or three times a week
Rainbow trout
Less expensive than wild salmon, trout is rich in omega-3 fatty acids, which may help lower your risk for diabetes and heart disease and relieve achy joints. Almost all U.S. rainbow trout available in supermarkets is grown at inland farms that follow environmentally responsible production methods.
Wild smoked salmon
More sustainable than farmed varieties, wild smoked salmon is an easy way to add brain-boosting vitamin B12 and inflammation-reducing omega-3s to your meals.
Inexpensive mussels are full of iron, vitamin B12, and selenium—an antioxidant that may ease postexercise oxidative stress. They're farmed using eco-sound methods with little toxin risk.
BUST Eat rarely or never
Imported shrimp
Overseas shrimp farms have destroyed coastal forests and often rely heavily on antibiotic use. Try U.S. farmed or wild shrimp.
Farmed Atlantic salmon
Ocean pens can pollute surrounding waterways, and contamination from PCBs may be a concern. Splurge on wild.
Bluefin tuna
This pricey tuna is overfished and high in mercury. Domestic, line-caught skipjack or yellowfin tuna have lower contaminants.
Turkey breast It's virtually fat-free and a good source of protein. Fresh roasted tastes better and usually contains less sodium.
Roast beef
A two-ounce serving contains just three grams of fat, 110 calories, and 19 grams of protein.
Canadian bacon
One ounce of this lean cut contains about a third of the calories of regular bacon and 11 fewer grams of fat.
Whole grains Whole wheat, brown rice, buckwheat, spelt, or other types of whole grains should appear first in the ingredient list.
5 grams of fiber Look for at least this much fiber per two-ounce serving. ''Choose a 100 percent whole-grain product and it won't be hard to reach this mark,'' says Janis Jibrin, R.D., author of The Supermarket Diet.
6 grams of protein Per two-ounce serving. Whole grains naturally contain some protein, which helps keep blood-sugar levels steady.
Best Buy Barilla Whole Grain Linguini has a dense, chewy texture—and provides runner-friendly minerals, including phosphorus, magnesium, and iron.
400 milligrams of sodium No more than this per half-cup serving. ''Some brands can pack more than 600 milligrams,'' Jibrin says.
4 grams of sugar or less Per half-cup serving. ''Ideally, there should be no added sugar in the ingredient list,'' says Jibrin. ''The only sugar should come from the tomatoes themselves.''
2 grams of fat or less Per half-cup serving. Skip the creamy white sauces, like alfredo, which pack the most saturated fat, says Jibrin.
Best Buy Made with vine-ripened organic Roman tomatoes, extra virgin olive oil, and organic basil, oregano, and garlic, Eden Organic Spaghetti Sauce has an ingredient list even an Italian grandma would respect.
Toss out Multigrain bread
Toss in 100% whole grain
Multigrain bread is often made of enriched flour or wheat flour—which lacks the fiber and vitamins of 100 percent whole-grain flour. ''The first item should be a whole grain,'' says Bonnie Taub-Dix, M.A., R.D., author of Read It Before You Eat It. Look for three grams of fiber and no more than 200 milligrams of sodium per slice.
Best Buy One slice of Arnold 100% Whole Wheat has 150 milligrams of sodium and three grams of fiber.
Toss out Spinach wraps
Toss in Corn tortillas
Made mostly of refined white flour, many spinach wraps contain a scant amount of the actual leafy vegetable. Six-inch corn tortillas made with whole corn flour are higher in fiber and lower in calories.
Best Buy La Tortilla Factory Fiber & Flax Corn Tortillas provide five grams of fiber along with omega-3 fatty acids found in flaxseed.
Toss out Bagels
Toss in Whole-wheat English muffins
100 percent whole-wheat English muffins contain less than half the calories of and more fiber than most bagels.
Best Buy Thomas' 100% Whole Wheat English Muffins provide three grams of fiber per muffin and six grams of protein.
''Grocery shopping when hungry can set the stage for unhealthy impulse buys,'' says Taub-Dix. With its high-fat doughnuts and pastries, the bread aisle can be particularly dangerous. Fortify your healthy resolve by eating before you leave home.
Yogurt-covered nuts and pretzels This fake yogurt covering is made with added sugars and unhealthy fats.
Salted nuts and seeds Eating too many will put you into calorie and sodium overload.
Sweetened dried fruits Some dried fruits (e.g., cranberries) are bathed in extra sugars. Scoop unsweetened.
Fat-free dressings "Fat is often replaced with sugars or other fillers," says Taub-Dix, "so these dressings may contain nearly as many calories as regular versions." Plus, you need some fat–it helps your body absorb vitamins and antioxidants.
Vegetable oils Made from corn, soybean, or cottonseed, these heavily refined oils are high in inflammation-causing omega-6 fatty acids.
Choose vinaigrette "You're more likely to get good-for-you fats in oil-based dressings than creamy ones," says Taub-Dix.
Keep it simple Look for a short ingredient list with real foods, like olive oil, herbs, and vinegar.
Count calories "Some dressings contain a lot more calorie-dense oil than vinegar," says Taub-Dix. It should contain no more than 70 calories per two-tablespoon serving.
Check sodium Keep it below 200 milligrams per serving.
Best Buy Bolthouse Farms Olive Oil Classic Balsamic Vinaigrette hits all the key criteria.
Dijon mustard Mustard seeds are a source of omega-3s and the antioxidant selenium. For few calories, Dijon adds tons of flavor to sandwiches, salad dressings, even mashed potatoes.
Keep it healthy Look for brands without sugar and no more than 120 milligrams of sodium per teaspoon.
Ketchup Rich in lycopene, an antioxidant that helps protect skin from sun damage.
Keep it healthy Splurge on organic, which has up to 60 percent more lycopene than conventional. Keep it under five grams of sugar and 180 milligrams of sodium per tablespoon.
Horseradish This spicy root contains glucosinolates, compounds that can detoxify carcinogens. Use it to add kick to dips, sauces, and fish.
Keep it healthy Brands with the word "sauce" in the name often contain sugar and low-quality oils. An ideal ingredient list includes only grated horseradish, vinegar, and salt.
Sriracha The chile sauce adds low-calorie punch to scrambled eggs, soups, and pasta sauce. It gets its spice from capsaicin, a compound in chile peppers that may boost metabolism and curb appetite.
Keep it healthy Avoid versions with more than 100 milligrams of sodium per teaspoon or with food coloring in the ingredient list.
Mango chutney Use it on fish, chicken, or cooked rice. Mangoes provide a kick of vitamin C and vitamin A.
Keep it healthy Choose brands that list mango before sugar in the ingredient list.
|Best for Salads
|Best for Cooking
|Extra virgin olive oil contains an antioxidant called oleocanthal, a natural anti-inflammatory that helps soothe sore muscles. Dark bottles preserve flavor.
|Canola oil This inexpensive oil has a high smoke point, making it ideal for stir-frys, and provides healthy amounts of omega-3 fats.
|Hemp oil Pressed from hemp seeds, this nutty-tasting oil adds artery-friendly omega-3 fats to your diet. Try it in tomato sauce and pesto.
|Avocado oil Buttery tasting, it provides an abundance of "good" monounsaturated fat. Use it to sauté vegetables. It's also delicious drizzled over pasta.
|Balsamic vinegar With just 14 calories per tablespoon, it adds a rich, intense, and slightly sweet flavor.
|Rice vinegar It's a low-calorie way to punch up the flavor of stir-frys, marinades, and vegetables.
Quinoa A fast-cooking whole grain loaded with fiber, B vitamins, and magnesium, a mineral that may improve muscle strength.
Pumpkin seeds A quarter cup of pumpkin seeds provides 30 percent of your daily need for iron.
Prunes Research from Oklahoma State University shows that dried plums con-tain polyphenol antioxidants that may fight bone loss.
In-shell pistachios High in protein, fiber, and vitamin B6. A 2011 study in the journal Appetite shows you eat fewer if you shell them.
Brown rice Harvard scientists found that adults who eat two or more servings of brown rice a week reduce their risk of developing type 2 diabetes by about 10 percent.
Walnuts contain more inflammation-fighting omega-3s than other nuts.
Bulk bins offer pantry staples like whole grains, spices, and nuts at lower prices than their prepackaged counterparts.

The word "capsule" may be a hidden eggcorn for some people. The etymology of the word has nothing to do with "cap," either the popular headgear ("baseball cap") or the metal piece removed to consume a bottle of soda pop ("bottle cap"). Gel capsules, however, do appear to have one part that "caps" the other part.
By the way, what's up with "capsual?" A huge number of web sites spell "capsule" this way – perhaps . Is this some attempt to spell phonetically a British pronunciation of "capsule?"
Last edited by kem (2012-01-31 18:48:34)
I was about to mention 'encaptulate' which nicely illustrates the idea of a capsule having somehow captured its contents but find that David beat me to it. I was also surprised to learn that AmEnglish does not rhyme capsule with granule or module for example. Both of the latter frequently appear as granual and modual too.
Speaking of encapsualation made think that this variant might be out there: encupsulation, i.e. being cupped, if not in your cups. Lots of cupsules being consumed too.
An excellent fitting boot designed to encupsulate and support the tendon.
