Australia has a long and proud tradition in Olympic cycling. In terms of medals won per events contested, cycling is easily one of the most successful Olympic sports for Australia.
Edgar "Dunc" Gray became Australia's first cycling medallist in 1928. Gray finished third in the 1000 metres time trial in Amsterdam, and then won gold an Olympiad later in Los Angeles. In Helsinki 1952 Russell Mockridge won gold in the time trial and then joined with Lionel Cox to finish first in the tandem. Mockridge, who later died in a road racing accident, is still arguably Australia's greatest all-round cyclist. Ian Browne and Tony Marchant repeated the win in the tandem in Melbourne 1956.
Australian cyclists won three silver medals in Munich 1972 before again claiming gold in Los Angeles 1984. Michael Turtur, Kevin Nichols, Dean Woods and Michael Grenda overcame the home support and superior racing bikes of the Americans to win the team pursuit in Los Angeles. Woods again made the podium four years later in Seoul placing second in the individual pursuit and winning bronze as a member of the team pursuit. Also in 1988, Martin Vinnicombe won silver in the 1000m time trial.
The first Australian to win an Olympic gold medal on the road was Kathy Watt in Barcelona 1992. Watt also won a silver medal in the individual pursuit making her the first Australian to win two individual cycling medals at the same Olympics. Australia's next cycling gold medal came in the madison at Sydney 2000 when Brett Aitken and Scott McGrory combined for an emotion-charged victory.
Athens 2004 saw a "gold-rush" for Australia with a record six gold medals. Ryan Bayley became the first Australian to win two individual cycling gold medals and he did it at the same Olympics, winning both the men's sprint and the keirin. Anna Meares won her first gold medal with a world record time in the 500m time trial and Sarah Carrigan emulated Kathy Watt's win in the women's road race. Stuart O'Grady and Graeme Brown won gold in the madison, and Brown won another gold medal in the team pursuit with Peter Dawson, Brett Lancaster, Luke Roberts, Stephen Wooldridge and Bradley McGee. McGee has now won the most Olympic cycling medals for Australia with one gold medal, one silver and three bronze medals.
Although Australia went into Beijing 2008 with high medal hopes, the Beijing track delivered a number of near misses and disappointments. Nonetheless, the heroic performance of Meares was one of the most inspiring performances in Australian Olympic history. Meares suffered a broken neck in a race crash just seven months before the Games but trained tenaciously to get back on the bike for Beijing. She completed one of the greatest comebacks in living memory to claim silver behind British cyclist Victoria Pendleton in the Sprint.
Four years on and with the home town crowd cheering Pendleton home, Meares pulled off an amazing victory to claim gold in the women's sprint at the London 2012 Games having already won bronze in the team sprint with teammate Kaarle McCulloch. In doing so Meares became the first female cyclist from any country to win five Olympic track medals and the first to medal at three Games.
The Australian team pursuit quartet of Glenn O'Shea, Jack Bobridge, Rohan Dennis and Michael Hepburn won Australia's only silver on the track behind a British team that broke the world record in the final. Shane Perkins claimed bronze in the men's sprint while Olympic debutant Annette Edmondson also finished with bronze in the omnium's Games debut.
Sam Willoughby won Australia's first BMX medal since the sport's inception in 2008 after finishing second behind Beijing gold medallist Maris Strombergs of Latvia in the London final. Teammate Caroline Buchanan placed fifth in the final of the women's event.
Six-time Olympian Stuart O'Grady rode a tactical men's road race to finish sixth while Michael Rogers matched that result in the men's time trial. On debut Shara Gillow finished the women's time trial in 13th while also claiming the best result in the women's road race coming in 38th.
Australia is yet to win an Olympic medal in the mountain bike event with Rebecca Henderson 25th and Daniel McConnell 21st in London.

Out of the thousands of homemade Qassam rockets that have been launched from Palestinian positions in the Gaza Strip, 13-year-old Raziel Sason, of Sderot, Israel, says he can remember one in particular.
Two years ago, Raziel and a friend followed the smoke to find a house struck by a Qassam, a crude bomb that became prevalent after the Palestinian uprising in 2000.
"We walked downstairs," Raziel said, "and we saw two legs … two legs lying there on the ground with sandals still on."
The two victims in this attack were young cousins, 2 and 4 years old. "There was nothing we could do," Raziel said. "We left, terrified and shaking, with prickles all up our arms."
That night, Raziel and the entire Sason family all slept together in their living room on mattresses on the floor.
And they have slept there every single night since.
Despite the cease-fire between Hamas and Israel that began Thursday, and the promise that residents might enjoy a respite from the attacks, the Sason family says they will still sleep in their living room.
"It will never stop," Raziel said. "I know it won't."
Raziel's older brother Rafi even built a closet inside the living room to serve as a makeshift bomb shelter. Raziel started sleeping inside the closet, a few feet from his family.
Every morning, they all stack up their sleeping pads behind the couch.
"Living in the shelter is like living in a jail," his mother, Shula, said. "I hate seeing my son in there. It's hot, the heat is choking. He's a boy. He doesn't need to feel like he's in jail."
After eight months, Raziel has finally left the living room shelter. "Now he sleeps out here," his mother said, pointing to an area on the living room floor just outside the shelter.
Raziel is not the only traumatized member of his family. Another brother, Aviran, says he was on the second floor of his school building when there was a code-red three years ago. "A rocket fell right inside the classroom," he said. "There was nowhere to hide."
The Qassam was headed right towards Aviran, who was standing in the doorway. At the last second, the rocket veered towards the chalkboard, away from him. "It was a miracle," he said, even though he spent the night in the hospital.
A therapist came to the Sason house once a week, teaching the children breathing exercises and how to cope with severe stress.
Shula said that for her children, the therapy helped. "But it would have helped more if the rockets had stopped," she said.
Nearly all the children of Sderot suffer from stress symptoms, according to Dalia Yosef, the manager of a resilience center in Sderot.
"There are many types of symptoms," Yosef told ABC News. "They have sleeping problems, nightmares. They can't function, go to school, go to the bathroom alone or sleep alone. Their hair is falling out."
"Children who used to play outside don't want to anymore," Yosef said. "All their lives, they are shrinking."
Yosef said that Sderot residents' are always in survival mode. "They are always waiting for the next Qassams," she said. "They never have any opportunity to relax."
Eleven-year-old Liz Sason said that life in Sderot is very hard, but has difficulty explaining why, because life under the code red alerts is all she has ever known. "You go to school every day but you can't learn," she said.
Liz said that she and her classmates can hear the code red alert 10 times in one school day.

The 'supermoon' did not cause the Japanese earthquake and tsunami
The devastating earthquake and tsunami that struck Japan were 'completely unrelated' to the approaching 'supermoon,' despite a news report that tied the quake to the lunar event.

The devastating earthquake and tsunami that struck Japan early today were "completely unrelated" to the approaching "supermoon," despite a news report that tied the earthquake to the upcoming lunar event, according to U.S. Geological Survey geophysicist John Bellini.
The supermoon will occur on March 19, when the moon is at or near its point of closest orbit — lunar perigee — and is also full. As we explained in our previous coverage of the upcoming supermoon, seismologists have found no evidence to believe that lunar perigees heighten seismic activity.
The best evidence that this earthquake was not caused by a supermoon is that it happened now — exactly a week away from the date the moon will be full, and almost a week after it was new, the two times that the moon exerts its greatest pull on the planet.
A very small correlation exists between full or new moons and seismic activity, because the stronger-than-usual tidal forces caused by the alignment of the sun and moon puts added stress on tectonic plates. [Photos: Our Changing Moon]
But this quake happened with the sun and moon askew — the time when tidal forces are weakest. Putting aside the fact that the moon doesn't trigger massive earthquakes, blaming this quake on the supermoon is like trying to pin a house fire on an arsonist who is out of town at the time of the crime.
The Japanese earthquake thus points to the fact that astrology — an astrologer was the first to suggest the supermoon could be a threat — isn't a science. That this earthquake occurred a week before an astronomical event is mere coincidence. The vast majority of earthquakes, tsunamis, volcanic eruptions and natural disasters do not follow the lunar cycle or tides. "This is something that builds up over hundreds of years," Bellini told Life's Little Mysteries.

By Ted Sares - Boxing is a tight-knit fraternity. Everybody knows everybody. But a line in the resin will forever be drawn separating those who step into the square ring and those who DON'T. Many, many people make money on a fight, but when the bell sounds, only two people answer it. -- Randy Smith, February 2003, Journal Inquirer - Manchester, CT
It's a tough business, man - it's a tough business --Rocky Graziano
Some day, maybe, the public is going to abandon comparisons with Joe Louis and accept Ezzard Charles for what he was---the best fist-fighter of his particular time. --Red Smith
Larry Holmes and Evander Holyfield fought top level opposition at a pretty constant rate. Hell, they even fought each other.. Ali never backed away from an opponent either and it cost him dearly. Holmes battled Jerry Cooney, Michael Spinks (twice), Earnie Shavers (twice), Kenny Norton, Mike Weaver (twice), Tim Witherspoon and Mike Tyson. The Real Deal fought just about everyone including Dwight Muhammad Qawi (twice). Chris Byrd, James Toney, Michael Moorer (twice), Tyson (twice), Holmes, Bowe (thrice), John Ruiz (thrice), Lennox Lewis (twice), Hasim Rahman, and Big George Foreman. Talk about tough
The late Ralph Dupas had 135 fights and many were against top level fighters. The same with Willie Pastrano whose opponents had an astounding combined won-loss record. There were (or are) others who would fight anyone put in front of them. There were guys like Beau Jack, Aldo Minelli, Chico Vejar, Holly Mims, Yama Bahama, Kenny Lane, Tony Licata, Vito Antuofermo, Tommy Tibbs (who participated in 139 bouts), and Johnny Cesario.
And still more like Guts Ishimatsu, Frank Minton, Jorge Paez (who may be mounting an ill-advised comeback), James Martinez, Ray Sucre Oliveira, Ben Tackie and Julio Cesar Gonzalez (who recently was stopped for the first time in his career by Tavoris Cloud).
Dick Tiger was pretty solid as well. Get this; he met Champions Emile Griffith, Nino Benvenuti, Jose Torres, Bob Foster, Joey Giardello, Gene Fullmer and Terry Downes. He also fought some impressive contenders like Andy Kendall, Frankie DePaula, Roger Rouse, Jose Gonzalez, Rubin Carter, Joey Archer, Don Fullmer, Florentino Fernandez, Spider Webb, Henry Hank, Gene Armstrong, Yolande Pompey, Randy Sandy, Holly Mims, Wilf Greaves and Rory Calhoun. Jose "El Huitlacoche" Medel, Juan Laporte, and Livingstone Pit Bull Bramble took on all comers as did Joey Giardello. There are many, many others.
However, if forced to pick just one boxer who fought the very highest level of competition, it would be difficult not to choose the great Cincinnati Cobra, Ezzard Mack Charles.
Charles was a 1939 Chicago Golden Gloves Champion and National AAU titleholder (reportedly his amateur record was 42-0) who turned pro the following year and fought until 1959 finishing with a record of 90-25-1 (58 KOs). But its not so much his record that stands out as it was his opponents. For example, in 1954 alone, he fought Rocky Marciano twice--grueling fights that arguably ruined him (after the first fight, referee Ruby Goldstein said he did not have to say Break at any time during the bout). He iced both bomber Bob Satterfield and Coley Wallace, lost two decisions to Harlod Johnson (41-5) and Nino Valdes, and beat Billy Gilliam, Rex Layne, Tommy Harrison (of' Resurrecting the Champ fame) and rugged Wes Bascom. The following year, he fought teak-tough Charley Norkus and Tommy Hurricane Jackson (twic).
Prior to 1954
But the Cincinnati Cobra did his best work prior to 1952. He beat Joe Maxim five times (in all, they fought 62 rounds), Layne, Jersey Joe Walcott twice, mean Lee Oma, Nick The Fighting Marine Barone, Joe Louis (yes, that Joe Louis), Freddie Beshore (in a classic), Gus Lesnevitch (member of the WBHF), Archie Moore thrice (88-13-8 coming in), and the great Jimmy Bivins twice.
Charles won his first fourteen out of the professonal gate but then lost to Ken Overlin (120-19-6) in 1941. He later drew with Overlin who finished with a record of 133-19-9. After losing to the very capable Kid Tunero (75-23-12) in 1942, he beat legendary Charley Burley (52-6-1) in back-to-back fights. Among other subsequent victims was Lloyd Marshall (59-13-3) twice. Marshall was no slouch, and defeated eight fighters who held World Titles. While he lost to Charles twice, he did KO him in 1943 decking him eight times in the process.
Charles also whipped Oakland Billy Smith twice, but lost to hard punching ElmerKid Violent Ray in 1947 in a truly terrible decisions. Ring Magazine said Charles
was the faster, the better boxer, and the sharper hitter." (The Ring, October 1947, page 42).
In 1948, The Cobra knocked out Sam Baroudi and avenged his defeat to Ray by icing him in Chicago. Baroudi died from injuries sustained in his bout with Charles at the Chicago Sadium. Many savvy boxing observers later thought that the devastated Charles had become overly cautious afterwards-- even to the point of trying not to hurt his opponents.Where previously, the slick Cobra was a ultra-dangerous fighting machine who had a complete tool chest of skills, he now appeared to have lost much of his venom and desire.
Toward his career end, he lost seven of his last nine bouts, but still fought top opposition including Harry Kid Matthews (88-7-6), Donnie Fleeman (24-2), and Pat McMurtry (20-0-1). Like many greats who hang on too long, he faded into obscurity, especially after his last draining fight against Marciano. And from 1955 until his retirement in 1959, he fought twenty four times, winning only ten which, of course, diluted his legacy insofar as his record was concerned, but nothing can ever dilute the following encapsulation:
Rocky Marciano (twice) - IBHF/WBHF
Joe Louis - IBHF.WBHF
Jersey Joe Walcott (four times) IBHF/WBHF
Archie Moore (thrice) IBHF/WBHF
Rex Layne (thrice)
Joe Maxim (five times) IBHF/WBHF
Jimmy Bivins (four times) IBHF/WBHF
Charley Burley (twice) IBHF/WBHF
Lloyd Marshall (thrice) WBHF
Gus Lesnevich WBHF
Ken Overlin (twice)
Elmer Ray (twice)
Harold Johnson IBHF/WBHF
Bob Satterfield
Many lesser known but highly skilled fighters who did their work during this period faced racial barriers in boxing, and some, like Marshall, peaked while the titles were frozen during World War Two. Still, names like Moore, Burley and Bivins are mentioned in conversations reserved only for the legendary, and when you add Marciano, Walcott, and Joe Louis into the mix, well, maybe legendary becomes immortal.
Hall of Fame
Ezzard Mack Charles died in 1975 from (ALS) also known as Lou Gerhigs Disease at 53, In1976, Cincinnati honored him by changing the name of Lincoln Park Drive to Ezzard Charles Drive. This was the street of his residence during the height of his career. He was elected to the International Boxing Hall of Fame in 1990 and his enshrinee page states, in part:
After military service during World War II, Charles defeated Hall-of-Famer Archie Moore and avenged losses to Lloyd Marshall and Jimmy Bivins to earn a No. 2 ranking at light heavyweight in 1946. He fought five light heavyweight champions, beating four of them, but never challenged for the light heavyweight crown.
Charles finally won the vacant NBA heavyweight title by defeating Jersey Joe Walcott in 1949. He earned worldwide recognition as heavyweight king the next year by decisioning an aged Joe Louis. After three successful defenses of the undisputed crown, he lost the title in a third battle with Walcott.
After Walcott lost to Rocky Marciano, Charles challenged the Rock in two unforgettable fights. The first time Marciano retained the title on a close decision and, two months later, stopped Charles in the eighth round of a fight that was nearly stopped because Marciano's nose was split open.
Charles was inducted into the World Boxing Hall of Fame in 1983.
The Cincinnati Cobra was indeed a very tough customer; maybe the toughest ever. While he was too early for television to fully depict his greatness, this noble fighting machine made enough appearances in Chicago for me to know what he was all about.

Hackers Behind 2009 Google Attacks Striking Again, Symantec Says
redOrbit Staff & Wire Reports — Your Universe Online
The group which unleashed the Hydraq or Aurora Trojan horse against Google and 34 other companies in 2009 has also been linked to attacks that have compromised systems at defense contractors, human rights organizations, and other groups, according to one computer security firm.
In a report released on Friday, Symantec officials revealed that they had been monitoring the group's activities and discovered that they had used "a large number of zero-day exploits against not just the intended target organization, but also on the supply chain manufacturers that service the company in their cross hairs."
The hackers have repeatedly used components of an infrastructure that they dubbed the "Elderwood Platform" due to the exploit communication used in several of the attacks. This platform enables the group to "quickly deploy zero-day exploits which uses security holes in order to carry out cyberattacks.
"Serious zero-day vulnerabilities, which are exploited in the wild and affect a widely used piece of software, are relatively rare; there were approximately eight in 2011. The past few months however has seen four such zero-day vulnerabilities used by the Elderwood attackers," Symantec's Security Response team said.
"Although there are other attackers utilizing zero-day exploits (for example, the Sykipot, Nitro, or even Stuxnet attacks), we have seen no other group use so many," they added. "The number of zero-day exploits used indicates access to a high level of technical capability."
According to eWeek's Robert Lemos, the group referred to by Symantec has discovered vulnerabilities to install Hydraq/Aurora in order to gain control of the effected machines and swipe data. They have used "targeted email messages" in order to "infiltrate businesses and fool employees into running his code," he said, noting that this approach is known as a "watering hole" attack.
Justin Rubio of The Verge and Kim Zetter of Wired said that the hackers at the center of the Symantec report were the ones behind what Rubio refers to as "Operation Aurora," the "highly coordinated" hacking effort that targeted a total of 34 companies three years ago.
Zetter said that the group used some of the same methods in their more recent attacks, while also taking advantage of zero-day vulnerabilities in Adobe Flash and Microsoft Internet Explorer.
"The majority of the victims have been in the U.S., with the attacks focused on gathering intelligence and stealing intellectual property — such as product design documents and trade secrets, infrastructure details and information about contacts," Zetter said. "Many of the attacks have involved supply-chain companies that provide services or electronic and mechanical parts to targeted industries. Symantec says it appears the attackers have used victims in the supply-chain as stepping-stones to breach companies they´re really targeting."
"In some cases the gang used spear-phishing attacks to infect their targets through an exploit embedded in an email attachment or through a link to a malicious web site; but they have increasingly used another technique that involves breaching web sites that cater to a particular audience that they want to target — such as an aeronautical web site catering to workers in the defense industry — and injecting an exploit into web pages, waiting for victims to visit the pages and be infected," the Wired reporter added.

Hollins' FTs with 0.4 seconds lift Gophers
PARADISE ISLAND, Bahamas Andre Hollins stood outside the Minnesota locker room, playing with the strings on his backpack and smiling one of those once-in-a-lifetime smiles.
A day after he scored 41 points, Hollins made three free throws with 0.4 seconds to play to give the Golden Gophers a 66-63 victory over Stanford on Saturday in the fifth-place game of the Battle 4 Atlantis.
"It was real tough today because I couldn't stop thinking about yesterday," the sophomore guard said. "I knew it would be a physical game and it was. I knew it from the first shot I took when I got hit hard and they kept it up so I became a distributor for our big guys and that was fine."
And then came the wild ending when Hollins needed just one point, not 41. He said it was just like he was back at home shooting free throws with his father.
"It was just the ball, the rim and me," said Hollins, whose grandmother passed away last weekend.
Hollins' 41-point effort came against No. 19 Memphis. He only had eight points against Stanford but the last three were the winners.
The game was tied at 63 when Minnesota went to throw the ball in from under its own basket. After an inbounds pass, the ball was tipped away by Stanford's Dwight Powell, who saved it as he was falling out of bounds near midcourt. Hollins calmly corralled the loose ball in front of the Stanford bench and dribbled to midcourt where he launched a shot and was hit on the right arm by Stanford's Chasson Randle.
As Randle crouched in front of his bench holding his head as teammates patted him, the officials went to the monitor to see if the foul happened after time expired. They put 0.4 seconds back on the clock and Hollins made all three free throws.
"I couldn't believe he was even near me," Hollins said. "You're taught to jump away not into but I'm glad the officials saw it."
A long pass by Stanford was knocked away by Minnesota and the buzzer sounded.
"I asked Dre to shoot it on that last play. You never know if it might go in," Minnesota coach Tubby Smith said. "He might get fouled. And obviously he got fouled."
Stanford coach Johnny Dawkins looked stunned even 20 minutes after the game.
"It's difficult for any young man to be involved in a play like that," he said. "I think at some point in time, at some level, for all these athletes who play so much basketball, they're all involved in a play like that. It's one of the most difficult plays to live with. He has to understand it's never decided on the last play. That's just fiction. That play didn't decide the game for us. There were other times when we fouled jump shooters and you need to accumulate the free throws they made on those. It didn't decide the ballgame. It is a culmination of plays that adds up to that."

There aren't many certainties in life (you pay taxes, you die), but I can almost guarantee you that the DJBooth will respond to any new music put out by the future of Roc Nation's rap empire J. Cole like Fat Joe responds to a plate of tacos (they eat it up…get it?...never mind). So when the two forces combine, that's about as certain as it gets. On the remix to Cole's recent cut Lights, Please, XV (aka Vizzy) replaces J. Cole's original heavily percussive beat with brighter, more soulful boardwork, giving J. Cole's rhymes about a girl who's too dumb for him to truly fall in love with (but not to f**k) the air of a love song filled with longing and regret. Personally, I'm liking the remix much better; it's amazing how a different beat can transform a track's feel, even if the lyrics are unchanged. Lights, Please (Vizzy Remix) isn't part of an official project, and Hova and company still haven't given Cole's debut album a solid name or release date, but frankly it's only a matter of time.

Avian influenza, or bird flu, is spreading throughout the Midwest. How will this virus impact consumers? Are eggs, chicken and turkey still safe to eat? Should we be worried? For more information, we went to Dr. Daniel Shaw, Veterinary Medicine Diagnostic Lab Avian Section Leader at the University of Missouri, and Maro Ibarburu, Associate Scientist and Business Analyst with the Egg Industry Center at Iowa State University.
The weather's getting warmer, and a favorite summer treat is ice cream. But with a recent recall of a popular brand of ice cream due to potential Listeria contamination, what do consumers need to know? Best Food Facts advisor Carolyn O'Neil, MS, RD, gives us the scoop.
A recent Consumer Reports study on farmed and wild, raw and cooked shrimp found that 60 percent of the raw shrimp sampled tested positive for bacteria. Should we be worried about eating shrimp? We asked expert Kevin Fitzsimmons for some insight into the safety of shrimp.
Do you feel like buying eggs has become more complicated? You're not alone. Words like "organic," "cage-free" and "all-natural" are now found on egg cartons to the befuddlement of many consumers. We'd like to make your trip to the egg case a little simpler, so we've provided an infographic explaining the differences among three of the main laying hen housing systems used to produce eggs: conventional cage, cage-free aviary and enriched colony. We've also broken down the pros and cons of each housing system from a research study conducted by the Coalition for Sustainable Egg Supply.
Mycotoxin - that's a pretty ominous-sounding word. And knowing that mycotoxins can be found in food makes it all the more foreboding. But despite its dark undertones, does that word really signal danger? Jae-Hyuk Yu, professor of bacteriology and genetics, says mycotoxins in your food shouldn't keep you up at night.
Glyphosate, also referred to as "Roundup," used in agriculture to kill weeds, has been in the news lately. We wondered, what are the human health implications of glyphosate use on crops? Is glyphosate poisoning us? To find out more, we reached out to Jeff Graybill, MS, CCA, Agronomy Extension Education at Penn State University.
Dunkin' Donuts announced it is removing titanium dioxide from its powdered sugar donuts, but is titanium dioxide actually harmful?
Does an apple that doesn't turn brown after taking a bite sound appealing? Such an apple has been developed with the help of biotechnology by Okanagan Specialty Fruits (OSF) of British Columbia, Canada. After a lengthy government process, they have now been approved in the United States, though it will still be a few years before they're available in stores. We spoke about these new fruits, called Arctic® apples, with Neal Carter, OSF's president and founder, and reached out to Dr. Herbert Aldwinckle, professor emeritus at Cornell University's Department of Plant Pathology and Plant Microbe Biology, for some insight.
What do you get when you soak zucchini and yellow squash in water and white vinegar? A pockmarked cucurbit! A Best Food Facts reader recently experienced this phenomenon and wanted to know more.
Curious about the levels of estrogen in different types of milk? Is it safe for you? We recently received a question concerning the levels of estrogen in dairy milk and dairy milk products, so we reached out to Judy Barbe, MS, RDN, a food and nutrition consultant and founder of LiveBest.
Late last year the Environmental Working Group released its Dirty Dozen Guide to Food Additives. The guide aims to highlight some of what it claims are the worst failures of the regulatory system by covering ingredients associated with serious health concerns, additives banned or restricted in other countries and other substances that it feels shouldn't be in food. Two of the additives on the list are butylated hydroxytoluene (BHT) and its chemical cousin butylated hydroxyanisole (BHA). To learn more about BHT and BHA, we reached out to expert Sean O'Keefe, PhD, a professor in the Department of Food Science and Technology at Virginia Tech's College of Agriculture and Life Sciences.
We've all heard that Ebola can be spread via bodily fluids, but what about food? Is there a possibility that Ebola could be spread by food?
To answer this question, we reached out to Carl Winter, PhD, Director, FoodSafe Program, Extension Food Toxicologist, University of California; and Roger Clemens, DrPH, CFS, CNS, FACN, FIFT, FIAFST, Adjunct Professor, Pharmacology & Pharmaceutical Sciences, USC School of Pharmacy, International Center for Regulatory Science.
Have you ever wondered if a certain diet would help with arthritis? We reached out to Dr. Kristen Baker, PhD, Assistant Research Professor, Sargent College at Boston University, about the best foods for people who have arthritis.
Unfortunately, Dr. Baker says there's no "magic bullet" food that will improve arthritis. We are all individuals, and we each react differently to foods. However, Dr. Baker provided some guidance on several foods to try.
Treating your children to a healthy lifestyle may be a tricky task to accomplish in a fast-paced environment, as it is today. We recently received a question about how to provide tweens with the components of a healthy life. We reached out to Connie Diekman, M.Ed., RD, CSSD, LD, for some insight.
HAPPY NEW YEAR! Oh, sorry. Did we just say that too loudly? Feeling a little sensitive to sound and light? Perhaps feeling a little unpleasant in general? If you spent last night celebrating the end of 2014 and the beginning of 2015 by imbibing on a few libations here and there, then you, my friend, are most likely suffering from a hangover.

Winning has sweetened former Padre's new life with Dodgers
Volquez, who recently made his first relief appearance since 2008, would like to be a starter again. He would like to return to the Dodgers next season, but the soon-to-be free agent said he will look for the best offer.
Sunday, he stopped to reflect on the past two months, on being cut by a fourth-place team, on landing in first place and, now, the postseason.
"It's a big difference from San Diego to here," Volquez said. "The team over there is very young. Here, everyone knows what's good because they've been playing a lot.
"I can't complain about the Padres. They were good to me," he added. "I'm just glad to be back in the big leagues wearing a uniform. I'm very happy to be here."

Michael Spencer's Make It Green: Locally grown: why small, organic farms are feeding the future
Each Saturday, after Mrs. Pundit finished teaching her yoga class, and I have returned from my daily beach run, we visit a farmers market in Naples. Both of us are feeling smugly organic, so it's the perfect destination. And each Saturday, I start to daydream.
If You Could
What if I could grow all of my own vegetables? I would know our food from seed to table; and kitchen composting would "close the loop."
Moreover, I know that the food is healthy and clean. And there's an opportunity to rekindle the ancient relationship with the earth and agriculture, a relationship strained and broken as large-scale commercial farming has become the norm.
Growing my own would banish the middlemen, distributors and lengthy transportation — all standing between us and the freshest possible foods.
And then I realize what is involved: All the work! And I don't even know how to farm!
Entrepreneurs across the country have been listening to buyers like us, but farms — small enough to be run by dedicated people who want to make a difference, people we want producing our food — are particularly hard to manage and make profitable.
It's a very rough road, even for professional farmers: these entrepreneurs face several obstacles. According to the U.S. Department of Agriculture, nearly 40 percent of all U.S. farms are less than 50 acres — and they don't make a profit, mostly, due to economies of scale. "Get big or get out," said former Secretary of Agriculture Earl Butz.
But many of these smaller farmers are doing work they love, just as I would were I living in "imaginary farmer land." To thrive, these small farms cut costs. Gone are brokers, lengthy transportation and middlemen. The small organic farm simply performs the nonfarm functions themselves, depending on a local farmers market.
Buyers of small local farm produce want fresh food. Myself included. The farmer keeps more of the retail dollar, and the consumer gets the best produce.
Meet Your Neighborhood Farmer
Naples' Saturday farmer's markets are populated by dozens of local vendors. Worden Farms, with fields in Punta Gorda is one of the largest.
The farm started in 2004 with eight acres and two employees. The owners, Eva and Chris Worden were new University of Maryland graduates with agriculture-related Ph.D.s. The young couple started to build a family and a farm that has grown to nearly 100 acres employing dozens of workers.
Eva Worden wants customers to know "the story behind the food," and sponsors weekly events at the farm where locals can come, spend the day, do a bit of you-pick-it, and generally experience the food-source environment.
Eva and Chris, though, are still in the fields, doing what they love. And raising two kids.
Nick Batty, on the other hand, farms 5 acres in Naples with two helpers, an intern, and has an inspirational take on what he does. Batty says he's "always wanted to be a farmer" since a young boy.
Born in Swaziland of an English father and a mother born in Egypt, Batty has lived in Naples since elementary school but carries traces of a charming African accent. Batty is thoughtful, not quick to answer, deeply committed to his life between the customer and the soil, and, like the Wordens, generous with advice.
Want to grow summer vegetables? "Calabaza squash won't get mildew, some people like Bitter Melon, and there are dozens of Asian vegetables," offered Batty.
He calls the farm Inyoni, an African name for bird. Batty graduated from the University of Florida and "makes a living, paying two mortgages and two kids." He mostly sells at three local farmer's markets, plus a few restaurants.
Just Plain Fun
Long ago and far away, of course, markets were the center of community activity, and if Eva Worden has her way they will be again. Every Saturday we meet friends or family or folks not seen for years. And we take home more food than we can cook the following week, but that's another story.
Michael Spencer, ASLA, has been practicing landscape architecture since 1979 and is president of MSA Design Inc. Learn more at www.msadesign.com or contact him by email: firstname.lastname@example.com.

What's in a
As it turns out, quite a lot. Salt-free water softeners have
been walking a line between vaguely misleading and downright
confusing since their emergence into the water treatment market.
Where the confusion starts is the "softener" portion of their name.
By definition, softeners remove hardness from water, which
typically includes minerals like calcium and iron that give water
its hard qualities. So, if we follow this definition and
understanding of what a water softener is, a salt-free softener is
a bit of a contradiction.
What Do Salt-free Softeners
Do, Then?
salt-free softeners rely on the process of ion exchange to
reduce sediment, odor, and chemicals from water, so the taste and
smell of treated water ends up being much more agreeable, but won't
actually provide the benefits most people are looking for from a
water treatment system, like removing scale buildup or increasing
the efficiency of washing machines and dishwashers.
In salt-free processes, the actual minerals remain in the water;
their chemical form is simply manipulated so that it is less likely
to adhere to surfaces. Technically, this process falls under the
category of water treatment referred to as "water conditioning."
This solution may also provide some results in terms of scale
reduction and softer laundry, but not to the extent most people
think of when they think about water softening.
Benefits of Salt-free
While salt-based systems will generally outperform their
salt-less counterparts when it comes down to salt conditioning,
there are some advantages to a salt-less system:
The best way to know which type of system will be right for you
and your home is to
talk with your Culligan Man after he or she tests your
water. Once you know what kinds of minerals you'll need to address,
you can discuss the most optimal options for your water.
It's that time of year again! Starting May 1 we'll be
celebrating Drinking Water Month by kicking off our first ever
Hydration Celebration promotion.
Spring is the perfect time of year to make, or remake, some
healthful resolutions, and what you drink can be one of the
simplest changes you can make. We know the health and personal benefits of drinking more water are many, and as it turns
out, there are even more advantages that come in the form of
creating more economically and environmentally friendly drinking
water choices. Rather than spending more on single-use plastic
water bottles, an under-sink system or Culligan water cooler is an
easy way to get bottled-water taste, sans the price and the
recycling hassle that comes with them.
Drink More Water,
With our upcoming promotions around drinking water systems, water delivery, whole-house systems, and bottle-free coolers, we're
helping make it easier than ever to access cleaner, fresher, and
better-tasting drinking water. Now that's a change we could stick
We're committed to helping residences and offices alike make
accessing better water easier, so you can benefit from drinking
water solutions at your workplace as well as at home. During
Hydration Celebration, find deals on everything we provide that
makes it easier to drink better water - from discounts on whole-house systems to reverse osmosis drinking water systems and deals on water
delivery service and bottle-free coolers. Your boss can thank us
Your local Culligan Man will be able to fill you in on all the
specific offers and promotions available in your area, so be sure
to take advantage while you can and set up an appointment or call
today - hurry, Hydration Celebration ends June 30!
Like most filtration systems, reverse osmosis works by funneling
contaminated water through a semi-permeable membrane that removes a
specific set of impurities. Unlike some other solutions, the system
applies pressure to the water as it flows through the membrane,
using the natural tendency toward chemical equilibrium to trap
offending ions (like salt) in order to achieve the desired state of
contaminant-free water. The membrane traps impurities, usually
around .001 microns or larger, so that what exits the membrane to
your faucet is purer, potable water.
Reverse osmosis technology was developed during the 1970s, and
is most commonly used to desalinate water in areas where fresh
drinking water may be hard to access. RO is also common in
industrial applications, like our very own Culligan Matrix Solutions Reverse Osmosis, where it can be used
to treat water for facilities and recycle commercial
How does reverse osmosis work to treat my
Residential systems use the same pressure membrane technology to
separate contaminants from municipal water, and may include
additional filtration steps like sediment filtration or UV
sterilization. Our residential reverse osmosis systems, for example, include
pretreatment as a matter of course, and post treatment as needed.
If water quality is especially concerning in your area, you'll want
to make sure your RO system is used in conjunction with a
sterilizing filter to ensure water is not only free from saline and
other particles, but any harmful contaminants like E. coli or
arsenic. These features are always included in Culligan reverse
osmosis products to ensure the highest-quality result for your
What types of water problems does it work best
RO works best for water with high saline content and relatively
few other impurities. Beyond salt-water fixes, reverse osmosis can
also be used to remove chlorine and fluoride from drinking water,
and in general, be used to remove a variety of:
It can be challenging to know exactly what type of filtration
product is right for your home and your water supply. Whether
you're considering reverse osmosis, or any other type of
filtration, it's helpful to have your local Culligan Man test your water in order to make the best recommendation
based on the unique needs of your tap.
Ever wondered if there was a way to filter water, no nasty
chemicals or salt hassle required? Culligan has been on the front
lines of breakthrough technology like UV filtration for
generations, and we're hard at work expanding on the technology

How UV Systems Work
UV disinfection has been used for decades in various capacities
after the germicidal properties of sunlight were discovered. It
wasn't long before this naturally occurring phenomenon was
harnessed to focus specific spectrums of ultra violet light toward
eliminating harmful microorganisms like bacteria, viruses, and
certain pathogens from water.
In general, UV light is applied through a combination of gas
applied with a voltage that creates the desired disinfecting
wavelength. This is all contained in, typically, a quartz sleeve
that water passes through during the disinfection process. Ultra
violet light can, when properly applied, eliminate most of the
leading causes of waterborne illness like:
Benefits of UV Treatment
Using ultra violet treatment can come with a variety of
Will it Work for My Water?
Well water generally has the highest risk for carrying or
containing protozoa like giardia because of the availability for
ground water contamination and/or runoff, so while it may be useful
for those using municipal water, there's generally more need for
those served by wells.
What's also important to understand about UV water treatment is that it is only effective in water
that is already mostly pure. For example, dissolved sediment and
minerals like iron, manganese, and sulfur can impact how
effectively ultra violet exposure renders microorganisms inert. If
water is hard to begin with, pathogens can essentially hide behind
iron or sulfur particles, making the treatment ineffective. In many
cases, ultra violet applications are used as the last in a series
of treatments.
This in mind, if your water is already soft but you're concerned
about contaminants, UV treatment may be a perfect solution. In
order to know for certain, it's easy to have a Culligan Man test your water and evaluate flow rate to see if a UV
filter makes sense, or if it should be used in conjunction with
another type of filtration like a softener.
We probably all have a general sense of what water should look,
smell, taste, and feel like, but sometimes it's not always obvious
when there's something wrong with your water.
Self-Diagnosing Problem Water
While some contaminants are better at hiding than others, there
are a few telltale signs that something is causing a problem with
your water.
The way water looks, tastes, and smells is often a product of
location and geography. To read more about the qualities of water
near where you live, explore our state-by-state problemwater resources.
They're common questions we hear:
Maybe you've had the same questions. Let's start by looking
closely at what each of these solutions does, and how they can help
out around the house.
Water Softeners
As you might guess from the name, water softeners generally only
refer to products that remove hardness-causing minerals and
contaminants from water, like magnesium and calcium. While this
still covers a variety of products, it's generally fewer than those
considered "water filters." Softeners also typically use salt as
the primary chemical agent in modifying the properties of water,
while filtration can encompass many more methods to alter water,
like reverse osmosis.
Water Filtration
Filters generally refer to any methods or systems that remove
contaminants from water, including:
As such, the term "water filter" can refer almost equally to
systems that filter water throughout your home, smaller products
that filter at the point-of-use, reverse osmosis filtration
systems, and others in between.
How Can I Tell Which One To Use?
Since each of these solutions focuses on different water-related
issues, deciding on a softener or a filter should largely depend on
what's in your water. For example, if limescale buildup is a
constant headache for you, that's usually a sign that water is hard
and a softener will alleviate some of those frustrations. If your
water tastes or smells strange, a filter might be the more
effective choice to remove culprit contaminants from your
A good way to find out, if you don't already know or suspect
what's in your water, is to have a
Culligan Man test it for you. The results will help you
and your Culligan Man evaluate the best solutions, whether it's
softening, filtration, or a combination of both.
Whether you're on a municipal water supply, your own well, or
you're not quite sure where your water comes from, the best way to
find out what's in it is for a Culligan Man to evaluate it in
person. This is key because of the nature of infrastructure and
other factors, water quality within the same neighborhood can vary
widely, and even differ from house to house.
To make sure we're providing the best possible service and
support, it's important for us to know exactly what kind of water
we're dealing with before we make any kind of recommendations.
Before The Visit
There's really nothing you need to do in advance of a Culligan
Man visit. Schedule your appointment online, or call to set up a
time that works for you. Then, just plan on being at home during
that time to meet your local Culligan Man or Woman.
Expect your Culligan Man to show up promptly and be kind and
courteous, as we'd expect of any guest in any one of our homes. As
part of the standard water test, he'll take a sample of your tap
water - probably from the kitchen sink - and use the Culligan
testing kit to see how hard or soft your water is, as well as look
for any impurities, like iron or dissolved solids.
The whole process is free and usually takes less than 10
minutes. Once he's tested the water, he'll discuss the results with
you. If water is hard, for example, he may be able to tell you
what's causing it (minerals like dissolved calcium or magnesium)
and ways to fix it.
He'll also want to know if you have any concerns about your
water, and if there's anything in particular you're looking to get
out of the visit. Additionally, he'll be able to recommend more
advanced lab testing if the standard test comes back without
conclusive results, or if it looks like it will need further
What Happens After
Based on the outcome of your Culligan Man visit, he or she will
follow up with you to set a time to come back and install any of
the solutions discussed. If you're still in the process of deciding
how to deal with water concerns, he'll set up a time for a follow
up call or visit to answer any additional questions you have in
order to get all the information you need to make the most of your
home's water.

Building a book of business can include many different sources… referrals from other lawyers, colleagues, family and friends. We are generally looking for new clients. But you often overlook what's right under your nose… existing clients. Yes… you should focus on the legal work you need to accomplish in order to do a great job for your client. Most of the time you are focused on the legal work to the exclusion of business development. And the biggest culprit is often your BILL.
Let's face it, as a lawyers you probably hate keeping time and even more than keeping time… you hate documenting what you accomplished for the client. On your bill, your accomplishments are reduced to "sent emails," "meeting" or "telephone conference."
Quite frankly ANYONE can do those things. You haven't demonstrated value and at your rates, you better demonstrate value. Otherwise, when the client reviews the bill, you have sent the message that YOU didn't value your work more than an email.
So how could you do this? Describe the time spent with the issue or action that you know your client values… "Spoke with opposing council to negotiate a settlement, got closer." Yes, it seems so obvious… but it's critical. This is business development NOT an administrative task.
When in question, look for what the client values… not what you value. Tell a story and be specific. Take EVERY opportunity you can to reinforce your value to the client and it will result in additional matters, as well as referrals.
The bonus? Your bills get paid without hesitation and hassle.

Meet IT professional Jayan Rajan talks about his short story collection Pension
Sixteen Malayalam short stories compiled in a book titled Pension has made Jayan Rajan an author. "It just happened," says Jayan, on his new avatar. This is one IT professional who always wanted to get into movies and writing was "just a hobby".
Nevertheless, his first book, published by DC Books, has found a space on bookshelves. "It is all because of my friends who liked my writing and encouraged me to publish them. I've never been an avid reader. But I loved to write. I used to post my works on my personal website and later on my blog. Two years ago, I approached DC Books with my works," says Jayan. He used to work in Technopark before going to the United States on work. He is now in Kerala on a vacation.
The stories have been written over the last two years. "Each story is different from the other," he asserts. And some of them are inspired pieces. Like Pension , which was inspired by an image made by his friend Anand P.G., head of modelling with animation major DreamWorks in Bangalore. "We knew each other. When I saw this particular image (which is also the front cover of the book), I wrote the story and sent it to him. He liked it a lot," says Jayan. Pension moves through letters written by Saraswathi, a 74-year-old retired school teacher, to Nirmala, and vice versa. Saraswathi's husband, a freedom fighter, would get his pension only if he bribes an official, who happens to be Nirmala's husband. The two develop a special relationship through letters. Another story Guruthwam is based on "a true story narrated by my friend Sanjay George." Aparichithan and Arranged Marriage , two of the stories in the collection, have already been made into short films. "Since I am passionate about cinema, I knew the cinematic elements would reflect in my works. So, I've ensured that none of the stories fall into that mode. Yet, Aparichithan and Arranged Marriage got adapted as short films," says Jayan, who has completed a one-year course in filmmaking from Paris. "I had taken a sabbatical from work and did freelancing for two years. In fact, I was about to start a production company. But the investor backed out at the last minute, landing me in a soup. So, I rejoined my company," he adds.
The author has stuck to simple, lucid prose in his stories. "People have appreciated that style. Some observed that I've used English words frequently. That is not deliberate, because we all converse that way in our daily life. However, P.F.Mathews, who wrote the foreword, has advised me to read more and improve my language," Jayan says.
So, are there more books in the offing?
"It depends on the response to Pension ," says the 38-year-old, adding, that cinema is always his first love. Jayan, who did his schooling and college education in Thiruvanathapuram, has a degree in computers and used to work in a computer institute in Kochi before joining the IT field.

By Vivek Wallace: In this weeks 'C.E.O. Fridays' we take a look at a man who some would argue to be this generations best offering from a country known to produce nothing but ultimate warriors, as it relates to the world of boxing. With legendary greats in his rear view mirror such as Sanchez, Chavez, Olivares, and others, this Mexican phenom found a way to squeeze into a group deep enough to be aptly named 'standing room only'. With so many epic battles under his belt and facing the proverbial westside of his career, the world of boxing now shifts the focus to him again for what could be the final time. As we prepare for this showdown, we look at Mr. Barrera full circle. The 'Supportive' perspective, the 'Critics' perspective, and to tie all loose ends, a more 'Neutral' perspective. So with no further ado, we now hone in on a man known to most as "The Baby Faced Assassin"....
Marco Antonio Barrera (Supportive Perspective): Few in the history of the sport have walked the brave path of Marco Antonio Barrera. Like so many other Mexican greats, the poverty stricken streets of Mexico offered very little in terms of a bright future, so at the tender age of 15, Barrera took a very solid amateur background which included five Mexican National Championships and turned pro.. With an amateur record of 56-4 he was viewed as a promising talent, but few knew he would evolve the way he did. Perhaps one of the most alluring things about Barrera was the fact that for such a menacing terror in the ring, he has always been known as a friendly face outside of it, attracting as many fans as he would knockout opponents. After racking up 34 victories, (many of which were done via early KO), Barrera had finally reached the championship level, fighting for his first major strap - WBO super-bantamweight title. After 12 hard fought rounds, Barrera would finally become champion, earning his first title of what has now evolved to five in three different weight divisions. That long and tenured history included victories over a laundry list of greats, including Kevin Kelley, two over Erik Morales, two over Rocky Juarez, and perhaps the most notable of them all, his monumental victory over the flamboyant and previously undefeated UK phenom 'Prince' Naseem Hamed. At first site, it would appear the historical accomplishments of Barrera would forever stand the test of time, yet as we stand at the eve of his next ring appearance, it appears as though time itself may be the very culprit responsible for ending it all for the brave warrior. In the eyes of his critics, his time has come and gone, and the eleventh hour will soon come to an end. For a deeper look into that perspective, we take a look at things from the view of those who criticize his effort to remain in the sport.....
Marco Antonio Barrera (Critics Perspective): As previously stated, the one thing that has been the biggest benefit to Barrera is now trading places, serving as his worst enemy. In an era of the sport where it has become common to see such greats such as Bernard Hopkins, Glen Johnson, and a host of others fight well into their 40's, it would seem as though a talented star at age 35 would be at the pinnacle of his game....or at least that is until you reflect on the fact that he has been at it for a full two decades and counting. Beginning his career professionally at the age of 15 gave Barrera an element of toughness that has served him well, but needless to say the extra wear and tear of facing grown men as an adolescent has now began to surface. Never known as a defensive specialist, the scores and scores of wars that Barrera has encountered has left him battered and in the minds of many, beyond repair. Rarely is it ever addressed, but as early as 1995 - following the bout with Jimenez, Barrera openly contemplated retirement from the sport, signaling what some perceived as a lack of interest or potentially other issues to be addressed. Over the years, this occurrence would happen again on more than one occasion. During the span that he was effective few could argue his worth, but more and more things have evolved to a point where his ability to carry on is no longer a question, but more of a punctuation mark, terminating a story that should have ended with more interest than it appears it will. In recent times, many have began very critical assaults of the Mexican icon, to include questioning his legacy - as it relates to the fact that aside from Morales and Hamed - there really arent any true future hall-of-famers in their prime that he defeated. He lost to Marquez, he lost to Pacquiao (twice), and each of the other highly notables he fought were good, but not quite on that level. So as he attempts to face one of the sports latest up and comers, he finds himself in the face of more adversity, and potentially the type that may usher him out of what should be viewed as a legendary career. After getting a glimpse of the supportive and non-supportive perspectives, perhaps its best to end things on a more neutral note
Marco Antonio Barrera (Neutral Perspective): In hindsight, when you look back at the career of Marco Antonio Barrera its a pretty intriguing view overall. Here you have a man who has been celebrated at the highest point by not only his nation, but his contemporaries as well; yet when you look back at his total body of work, some could reasonably argue that he hasnt stacked up to the level one may have desired. Oscar De La Hoya is often criticized for the fact that he defeated a hand full of past prime legendary fighters, yet failed to deliver against the in-prime crop who were certain to land in the hall of fame. For Barrera, that point comes within a hair of the same identity. It would be very difficult to attempt to take away the great ring moments of his career, but at a very seasoned age 35, one would have to truly question what could be done to enhance it at this point in time. Adding to it is the question relative to what exactly would a win over a young challenger who was recently floored by a not so popular contender prove anyhow? When it all boils down, I dont know if theres anything Barrera can do at this point of his career to change the end results. Hes given us some brilliant moments, hes been a complete professional, and hes taken on any and everyone who dared stand across from him; yet when the rubber hits the road, the sentiments of his critics cant truly be debated with facts. I would have to categorize him as a legendary fighter who beat a few greats, but probably needed to beat a few more to remove the shadow of a doubt in some. Legendary he is
a hall of famer he will be
but the best Mexican fighter of this generation? You can give me your opinion and I'd probably have to seriously consider it, but me personally, Id have to quote rapper L.L. Cool J. when he went back to Cali
.Nah, I dont think so!

Atlanta-based Rapper Que Bo Gold Set to Release Debut Album - Underground Rapper/Entrepreneur Releases 'Red Clay' on September 25th -.
Universal Records is set to release Red Clay, the debut album of 20-year-old, Southwest Atlanta, Georgia-based rapper Que Bo Gold, on Tuesday, September 25th.
In 1998, Que Bo Gold (Niqua Jones) started his own independent record label, NuNeq Records, and released a single by his sister ReRe called It Ain't No Thang which sold over 10,000 units. In addition to running the label, Que Bo Gold also branched out into artist management, and successfully negotiated a major label deal for the group Jim Crow, who Que Bo's brother Polo happened to be a member of. A chance meeting in a recording studio with the legendary George Clinton, inspired Que Bo Gold to embrace his own artistry, which he showcased by guest appearing on Rasheeda's single, "Do It," produced by ReRe.
Upon working with Rasheeda and with the encouragement of George Clinton, Que Bo Gold went straight into the studio and created his brainchild: a 15-track collection of pure down-home, countrified rap called Red Clay. With help from family members Polo and ReRe, Red Clay showcases a southern rap flow and energetic delivery, from the first banjo chord to the last, which is extremely prominent in the single "Lil Buddy." Besides the use of a banjo Que Bo also showed off his production skills by also incorporating riffs from George Thorogood's 1982 hit "Bad To The Bone."
Que Bo also shows his versatility by using a rock guitar solo on "Homeboy" a track that is the reworking of the traditional folk chant "Hambone," the hand clapping and thigh-slapping ditty. Making sure the album has something for everyone, Que Bo also takes it underground with a make you want to get up and dance song loaded with some serious bass called "Her." Other standout tracks include the Marvin Gaye-inspired "Shawty" and the title track "Red Clay" which is a rambunctious, fiery cut featuring funk pioneer George Clinton, and rappers Kool Ace and Mellow Dramatic crooning on the hook about what's really going on below the Mason-Dixon line.

Human rights app needed
The New York Times reported in the series "iEconomy: An Empire Built Abroad," that President Obama, attending a Silicon Valley dinner in February of 2011, asked Steve Jobs, the late Apple founder: What would it take to make iPhones in the United States? "Those jobs aren't coming back," Jobs responded.
Apple, and many others, insist they have no choice but to manufacture overseas. With Apple, it's a philosophy that washes its hands of American factory workers. The New York Times sums up: "It isn't just that workers are cheaper abroad. Rather, Apple's executives believe the vast scale of overseas factories as well as the flexibility, diligence and industrial skills of foreign workers have so outpaced their American counterparts that "Made in the U.S.A." is no longer a viable option for most Apple products."
This week, 40 of those diligent people were hurt, three seriously, during a brawl between 2,000 workers at the Foxconn factory in China. The company is a major Apple supplier.
The "speed" that Apple touts of its foreign workforce, however, is achieved through 12-hour shifts and forced overtime. The riots and suicides testify that it's less about "diligence" and "industrial skills" and more about a labor pool that doesn't have much choice about anything. But that's changing.
The young migrant workers whose labor has fueled much of China's economy has begun to change, the Washington Post reported. That labor pool is shrinking, as workers from China's provinces have become better educated and hold higher expectations.
In other words, they are like everybody else who see the upwardly mobile all around them. They want to own an iPhone, not build them. Because the work is grueling and dangerous, as documented by the New York Times.
Apple felt the pressure, the Post reports, which led to raise wages and other minor reforms.
But it's more than money. "People would rather work at a hotel or other places. It's not a lack of workers in these areas, it's a problem of spiritual emptiness," said Wang Zhiqian, who recruits workers for Foxconn.
It's too bad Steve Jobs didn't use any of his genius to try and modernize manufacturing and factory work, rather than pretending that something magical, beyond the ken of American workers, was happening in China.
In a sensible world, building Apple phones would be a source of pride. (Not suicide.) Factory workers (Chinese and American) would be treated humanely and compensated fairly; they are just as much part of the Apple team as the geeks, after all.
No one can work 12-hour shifts, seven days a week, and not succumb to "spiritual emptiness."
