SAN JOSE, CA -- (Marketwire) -- 01/17/13 -- As part of Cisco's ongoing efforts to enable anytime, anywhere collaboration, Cisco (NASDAQ: CSCO) today announced new software that extends the Cisco Jabber unified communications application to virtualized workspace environments. As part of a long-term software strategy for collaboration-enabling virtual desktops, this software, called the Virtualization Experience Media Engine (VXME), will be available initially on Cisco thin clients, followed by support for third-party devices, starting with Dell Wyse thin clients, and then Windows-based thin clients and Windows PCs.
VXME enables virtual desktop users to access Jabber's enterprise-class collaboration capabilities such as voice and high-definition (HD) video, presence and instant messaging (IM) as part of the Cisco® Virtualization Experience Infrastructure (VXI) Smart Solution. With the Cisco VXI end-to-end solution for desktop virtualization, virtual desktops, applications and collaboration services are centrally hosted on the Cisco Unified Data Center and delivered across a Cisco network to a broad array of user devices for a superior virtual workspace experience.
Cisco also announced support for new desktop accessories, designed exclusively for Cisco by Logitech and Jabra, which enable Cisco Jabber for Windows users to customize their virtual workspace to increase productivity and work more effectively. For example, a virtual desktop user logging in from a home office may want a keyboard with a unique caller-ID display and call control buttons. There are also specially designed peripherals, ranging from a standalone speaker phone to a handset to a webcam that enables Jabber® users to collaborate from their virtual desktop using HD video. Cisco, Jabra and Logitech have enhanced the collaboration desktop consisting of voice, computing and video services, into a fully integrated virtual desktop solution built around Jabber.
Today's announcement is all about helping employees work the way they want. As employees demand increased flexibility in how they work, more and more companies are turning to desktop virtualization. According to a 2012 Cisco IBSG Horizons study, 68 percent of U.S. respondents agreed that most knowledge-worker roles within their company are suitable for desktop virtualization; over half of these U.S. respondents have already implemented -- or are in the process of implementing -- a desktop virtualization strategy. Respondents indicated that the top three drivers of desktop virtualization for their organizations are data protection, employee mobility, and business agility.
Cisco Jabber for virtual environments, enabled by VXME, is initially available on Cisco's thin client, the Virtualization Experience Client (VXC) 6215. The VXME software is targeted for global availability in the first half of the calendar year. Additional benefits include:
Cisco is also providing options for users to personalize their virtual desktop experience, through support for new desktop accessories from Logitech and Jabra. These new accessories are built exclusively for Cisco Jabber, running natively or in virtual environments.

Jeff McNaught, executive director, Marketing, and chief strategy officer for Cloud Client Computing, Dell
"As the global leader in cloud client computing, Dell is focused on delivering superior user experience, a critical part of any desktop virtualization deployment. By extending the Cisco VXME software to Dell Wyse thin clients, Cisco and Dell are providing virtual desktop users with access to a suite of enhanced collaboration tools from the market leader in unified communications and collaboration. Cisco Jabber's high-quality voice and video collaboration can enable increased productivity and flexibility for virtual desktop users on our industry leading thin clients."

These new audio endpoints, designed for Cisco, enable users to create a complete workspace that adapts to their needs."
Eric Kintz, senior vice president & general manager, Logitech for Business
"Collaboration and increased engagement is a top priority for organizations today. Logitech's new peripherals include the first keyboard for Cisco Jabber with integrated audio, video and messaging controls, giving users the freedom to manage communications in either PC or virtual environments. The Logitech UC Solution for Cisco 725-C, designed for Cisco, also includes a full HD webcam and an ergonomically shaped mouse, enabling users to be productive and effective in any work environment, from cubicles to shared "hot desk" spaces to home offices."

This is an eTextbook Learn More
Nutrition has long been considered more the domain of medicine and agriculture than of the biological sciences, yet it touches and shapes all aspects of the natural world. The need for nutrients determines whether wild animals thrive, how populations evolve and decline, and how ecological communities are structured. The Nature of Nutrition is the first book to address nutrition's enormously complex role in biology, both at the level of individual organisms and in their broader ecological interactions.
Stephen Simpson and David Raubenheimer provide a comprehensive theoretical approach to the analysis of nutrition--the Geometric Framework. They show how it can help us to understand the links between nutrition and the biology of individual animals, including the physiological mechanisms that determine the nutritional interactions of the animal with its environment, and the consequences of these interactions in terms of health, immune responses, and lifespan. Simpson and Raubenheimer explain how these effects translate into the collective behavior of groups and societies, and in turn influence food webs and the structure of ecosystems. Then they demonstrate how the Geometric Framework can be used to tackle issues in applied nutrition, such as the problem of optimizing diets for livestock and endangered species, and how it can also help to address the epidemic of human obesity and metabolic disease
Drawing on a wealth of examples from slime molds to humans, The Nature of Nutrition has important applications in ecology, evolution, and physiology, and offers promising solutions for human health, conservation, and agriculture.

Honey Badger serves as a backpack and a bicycle pannier
The Honey Badger was designed for the rigors of backpacking, canyoneering and climbing
The Honey Badger backpack is a durable composite pack that doubles as a bicycle pannier
Part of SlingFin's durability testing included dropping the pack while skydiving
The rope on the outside provides plenty of added storage
The Honey Badger comes in both black and translucent white
Road testing the Honey Badger
The Honey Badger is designed to be versatile enough for all kinds of adventures
The ExoPak body separates from the shoulder harness, allowing for other uses
Article Summary
Once a relatively lesser known member of the animal kingdom, the honey badger rose to infamy last year, becoming a legend among critters. It's not all that surprising to see the animal referenced in a product name, especially one designed to bring some of the animal's tenacity and ferocity to the outdoors. The new Honey Badger backpack may not survive an all out attack by a honey badger, but it'll survive all kinds of other adventures.

Crystal-clear waters, quiet beaches, pine forests and great seafood may not be the first things that spring to mind about Ibiza, but the legendary nightlife is only one aspect of this lovely Mediterranean island.
Ibiza hotels have long been luring a cool, cosmopolitan crew. Following in the footsteps of the Phoenicians, Romans, Moors and Catalans, visitors present and past are drawn to the tranquility of the rural interior and the natural beauty of the island's lesser-known coastlines. Of course, there are always the world's best clubs, and the charming narrow streets of Ibiza Town's old quarter on hand if you feel you're getting a little too relaxed.
May, September or October are perfect, although in summer you can find uncrowded beaches on Formentera and the north coast. The opening and closing parties in June and September are highlights of the clubbing calendar.

A Most comfortable and beautiful Jumper Easy to put on, comfortable and colorful to wear all year around. May 23, 2015
Very Sweet! I bought this jumper for my sister for Easter. She wears a size 2x. It's hard to find clothes that are cute and youthful in her size. This was perfect! It fits well (she's 5'4"), and of course, because it is Lanz, it is made well. As much as I like this jumper, I wouldn't order it for myself because I am 5'8", and I think it is better suited for someone shorter. I haven't washed it yet, so I can't speak to that. I also bought the white tee shirt to go under it. The whole outfit is adorable! April 6, 2015

Gayle Covner is eclectic, fits right into Barrio Logan
Profiles of San Diego area chefs
The Buzz: Gayle Covner
Chef-owner of Blueprint Cafe (open weekdays for breakfast, lunch) and In Good Taste Catering (1805 Newton Ave. Barrio Logan, 619-298-7010 or
Personal info: Tierrasanta resident, with a 20-year-old son
Previous cooking posts: The now-closed San Diego restaurants Cafe Pacifica, Pacifica Grill and Del Rio Bar and Grill; New York kitchens like the Bridge Café
First cookbook: "Mastering the Art of French Cooking," by Simone Beck, Louisette Bertholle and Julia Child, which was eventually so covered with ingredients that her dog ate it.
Dislikes: Pancakes; "They give me heartburn."
Likes: Harry Potter movies, Pinot Noir, Garden State Bagels in Encinitas, big salads.
From the street, with its concrete gray exterior intensified by fluorescent green cinder blocks, Gayle Covner's Blueprint Cafe looks like an arts center. Modish.
It's in an area of town where horse-drawn carriages for tourists and MTS Trolley cars park overnight, and where diners spend less than $10 on their tacos and tortas at the Mexican eateries nearby. So you might look at the shell of Covner's weekday-only cafe and guess Blueprint was too expensive or stuffy for this humble Barrio Logan neighborhood.
You'd be wrong.
Voz Alta Project Gallery members plan their Barrio Logan arts crawl on Blueprint's wood-screened patio. And Jose Cruz, executive director of the nearby Barrio Logan College Institute, lunches with philanthropists in the naturally lit dining room — a raw, industrial space with a mirrored wall.
"Two things that I am definitely not — expensive or stuffy," Blueprint's chef-owner tells a kitchen visitor, her pleasantly itchy voice still tingling with her native New Yorker accent.
Covner is tall, in her late 50s and wearing a T-shirt, khakis and glasses whose temples look like ornamental iron fences. Her white hair is pulled into a ponytail as she preps made-from-scratch lunch items in her catering kitchen.
She is a big believer in the midday meal: "The bountifulness and healthfulness you need to get through the rest of the day," as she calls it. "And I like large foods, because I'm annoyed by small portions," Covner says at the back of a building she's shared with an architectural firm — M.W. Steele Group — since 2009.
At the cafe up front, her staff assembles the limited menu she's prepared. A Meyer Natural Angus beef burger ($9.80), a sustainably fished local tuna with Swiss on rye ($9.80), and her signature, Caesar-like, grilled chicken and romaine lettuce salad ($10.20 with grilled artisan bread) appear every day. Rotating specials rarely exceed $11.
"My ceiling is generally $10.10 or $10.40. Don't ask about my weird pricing. I don't like things that end in nines. Like $10.99? Those are shoes or stockings or shorts," she says. "This is about nourishing people and making them feel good when they go back to work. And I didn't want price to be a deterrent for people to (eat in) the Barrio."
Today she'll lug a 5-gallon pot of Mediterranean lentils to the walk-in fridge for tomorrow's Blueprint menu. (A tip from Covner, whose restaurant and catering career spans 38 years: "Soup tastes better a day later.") Then she'll hunt for powdered sugar for a house-made cream-cheese icing, destined for a layered red velvet cake that will stand 6-inches high. (Covner will measure it with an old wooden ruler.)

Meet #5
I had been waiting for this day for almost a month and I couldn't believe that it was already here, the 2 Year Anniversary of Mice Chat
I couldn't wait to get out of the house because my little sister just got a High School Musical game, much like Scene It!, and one can only listen to "Get Your Head in the Game" so many times
Call me crazy but I was up at 7:00 a.m. the day of the big meet and was out of my house by 7:45
The only good thing about being out early, the road was mine (and the guys in the other car next to me)
On the way up, I noticed Elmo was towering over the Discovery Science Center (I have no idea what Elmo and science have to do with each other)
I was parked on the Chip and Dale level of the parking structure in the far back corner which wasn't a good place to be parked when running late
I power walked to the tram loading station and saw all of the sleeping trams on the way
I was worried I was going to be late and our grandma tram driver didn't help me much
Luckily I entered the picnic area with plenty of time to spare
I was greeted by a pretty large group of Mice Chatters that sounded like they hadn't had too much sleep and maybe had too good of a night the night before
I was also handed a bag of delicious chocolate chip cookies and 2 candy hearts that were provided by MickeyMaxx and Rixter (Thanks a lot you guys)
It was time to go!
Sir Clinksalot and Fishbulb took everybody's AP to get FP's for Space while everybody else went to breakfast
Sam and I thought that this would be a great opportunity to ROCK THE UNIVERSE
Here are a couple pics I took along the way…
Still painting poles
Hi Chip or Dale!
I am actually quite fond of the new lamp décor
I really like this picture for some reason
FP's were collected, Sir Clinks and Fishy went to the Riverbelle Terrace and Sam and I waited for Hollywood1939
A planter wall needs some TLC in the Space queue
One gardener went a little crazy with the clippers and hacked off half of the cone!
Ladies and Gentlemen, the queue is clean!
I found a great way to get pictures inside of the loading area, use the hand rail as your tri-pod! (PM me if you want this image in a desktop size)
Fishy tried this shot last week so I figured I would try it (ehh)
We definitely rocked the universe
I was starving so I decided to go meet up with everybody at Riverbelle while Hollywood and Sam went their own way
No wait at all! For anything!
As luck would have it, I arrived just as everybody was leaving to take a trip around the Magic Kingdom

There are 80 million gun owners in America, and roughly 650 to 875 million weapons are in the hands of civilians in the world.
According to the National Rifle Association website, it is not affiliated with any firearm or ammunition company, however, 12 of their 22 "corporate partners," as they call them, are gun companies that contributed $71 million to NRA in 2010. A lobby by any other name is still a lobby.
Although most gun exports are traded legally, they can remain in circulation for as much as 40 years for an assault rifle. Lack of end-use control has produced a thriving black market in small arms, the majority from previously legal deals.
Innumerable human rights violations have been perpetrated at the end of a gun.
Wayne LaPierre, NRA executive vice president, said, "The only way to stop a bad guy with a gun is a good guy with a gun." The NRA has vowed to fight the international arms treaty being considered because of their position on disarmament efforts on civilians in international trade. If warlords and governments have access to guns, so should their citizens. Sound familiar?
To arm the world in the name of peace is insane.

Everlast didn't start with much of a hardcore following this time; the challenge for him, as for so many rappers, was how to survive past the inevitable waning of that following it's called hitting 30, or maybe 25. Whitey Ford Sings the Blues isn't especially great as hip-hop: you know you're in trouble when your most booming track is called "Praise the Lord." It isn't even that great as Johnny Cash or Willie Nelson, since Everlast's lyrics don't cut very deep and he's far too monochromatic a vocalist. But as middle-of-the-road pop it's homesteading barely settled territory. Hip-hop is too revolutionary not to evolve its own form of sappy singer-songwriter confessionalism. This is a start. So, verbal groaners and occasional aural clichés aside, there's a fascination to cuts like "Painkillers," where the ordinary person Everlast imagines descending into oblivion is himself. Or the confidently slow-paced, hiphop- derived chord changes underpinning the sermonized parts of "Today (Watch Me Shine)," or the folding in of archetypes that makes him murmur, during "Death Comes Callin'," "I think I hear a steam whistle/Lord, when my train gonna come?"
Too bad black artists don't receive the same validation for their experiments. When I groove on "Ends," I'm just exercising ears trained by Public Enemy's roundly dismissed "He Got Game," autumnal hip-hop at its finest. And for sentiment, what about P.M. Dawn, whose Dearest Christian, I'm So Very Sorry for Bringing You Here. Love, Dad is absolutely drenched emotionally and has a great potential single, "Art Deco Halos"? Finally, I must mention the Coup's "Me and Jesus the Pimp in a '79 Granada Last Night," which is a story song worthy of Dylan, or at least Dan Bern. Affirmative action works both ways: for the near future, white rappers who are at least marginally qualified are going to get a stronger hearing than their relative talents deserve. That isn't a slap at Everlast, who I bet would make a similar argument for the merits of his buddy Divine Styler. It's just what it's like.
Everlast plays Roseland February 19.

HoopsHype Ben McLemore rumors
According to McLemore's agent, Rodney Blackstock, the league has lined up Webber, Vlade Divac and Mitch Richmond as mentors for the 20-year-old rookie. No word on whether Chris Mullin - who has a soft spot for shooters, understandably - will join the group. Mullin is continuing to work with Ranadive and D'Alessandro in an unofficial consultant role, but whether he takes on a more permanent front office position remains to be seen. D'Alessandro, however, who was on Mullin's staff in Golden State, plans a few more hires. Sacramento Bee
Finally, it would be an understatement to say Ranadive is enjoying his new gig as an NBA boss. He had this to say about McLemore: "Ben's story is the stuff of legends. This is the story of the triumph of hard work over adversity. Success against all odds. This is the stuff that movies are made of. I know that Ben's motto is 'stay humble, stay hungry.' And these are words we can live by as well." Turning toward McCallum, he said: "Ray is also a very impressive young man. Coming out of high school, he was one of the most sought-after basketball players in the country. And he, too, stayed hungry. He's a smart kid who decided to play for his Dad, a great coach (Michael Malone) in his own right. And everybody knows I love coaches' kids (laugh). Sacramento Bee
Sean Cunningham: Pete D'Alessandro told me that a back court with Tyreke Evans & Ben McLemore would be a good problem to have, talent wise. #NBAKings Twitter @News10Sean
Jon Santiago: Ben McLemore said he just found out the other day that he was taking Peja Stojakovic's number. #sackings Twitter @itsjonsantiago
Adrian Wojnarowski: Sacramento has been aggressive in trying to move up from seventh in the draft, league sources tell Y! Likely target: Ben McLemore. Twitter @WojYahooNBA
New York City is no Lawrence, Kan., just as the NBA is no college basketball. But in the days ahead, beginning with today's 6 p.m. draft at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, McLemore is determined to prove he belongs in both. "It's very different than Lawrence, that's for sure," said McLemore, who, along with his mother, father, brother and three sisters, is making his first trip to the Big Apple. "All these buildings, the lights, all of the people … it's amazing. It's definitely different than I expected." McLemore said he talked last week to his older brother, Keith Scott, who is currently serving time in Potosi Correctional Center in Mineral Springs, Mo., and Scott told him he would be able to watch tonight's draft. Lawrence Journal-World
McLemore, on the bus ride back from visiting the 9/11 Memorial as part of the NBA Cares community outreach program, was the first one to clap for the speech given by a survivor of the terrorist attacks in 2001. He also chimed in with the first "thank you" after Anthoula Katsimatides, the sister of a victim of the attacks who was on hand Wednesday to give the 2013 draft class a tour of the grounds, shared the history of the pristine property and wished luck to a bunch of guys who were not yet 10 years old at the time of the tragedy. Lawrence Journal-World
Despite his kind and caring demeanor, McLemore insists that he's tough enough to handle the challenges life in the NBA will throw at him. "During the season, I showed some spurts of what I can do," McLemore said. "But I know that at the next level I've gotta be on all the time. And I'm ready for that. My mind-set's already there." Lawrence Journal-World
"He's such a nice guy," began Kevin, almost apologizing for saying it. "But if you test him, he'll make you pay. He may smile all day, but he'll beat you by making jump shots or dunking on you. There's no doubt he's got that in him." Lawrence Journal-World
The most likely scenario seems that they would stay at the No. 4 spot and take one of seven players: Nevada-Las Vegas forward Anthony Bennett, Maryland center Alex Len. Kansas shooting guard Ben McLemore, Kentucky big man Nerlens Noel, Indiana guard Victor Oladipo, Georgetown forward Otto Porter, Jr., or Indiana forward Cody Zeller. Charlotte Observer
On the eve of the NBA draft, former Kansas star Ben McLemore said one of the best pieces of advice he's been given is to keep his circle of family, friends and advisors small. That led him to sign with newly certified agent Rodney Blackstock for representation after earlier working with Beverly Hills, Calif.-based Rival Sports Group. "I was with Rivals and I just fell like Rodney has been the best person for me throughout this process, helping me get through everything," McLemore said Wednesday. "From the beginning, everything has been good. He's a great person, and he's helped me through all of this so that's why I chose that he should be a part of my circle." USA Today Sports
The Wolves continue to try to move up higher in the draft to land either Victor Oladipo or Ben McLemore. The latest rumbles have them reaching out to the Magic, Bobcats and Suns offering Derrick Williams and the No. 9 and No. 26 picks in return for Orlando's No. 2 pick, Charlotte's No. 4 pick or Phoenix's No. 5 pick.

Rick Bonnell: Cho said Bobcats won't let players work out by themselves before draft. That explains why Oladipo and McLemore weren't in Charlotte. Twitter @rick_bonnell

America- it's a really weird place. I'm certain I'd heard this song before, somewhere in my youth of listening to classic rock radio, but the absolutely bizarre nature of it really hit me as it came on as I drove to work this morning. This story song about outlaw truckers, which is a spoken word piece for most of its running time, was the #1 song in America on January 11, 1976. So popular in fact that it inspired a film 2 years later directed by no less than Sam Peckinpah. The video above is the trailer for that film that runs a staggering 4 minutes. Why? Because they were certain people would remain interested through the entire thing due to the presence of the complete song. For further reading, take a look at the song's shockingly well researched wikipedia page. Crazy, huh?
Declaration of Principles"It may be true that one has to choose between ethics and aesthetics, but it is no less true that whichever one chooses, one will always find the other at the end of the road."

'Pablo' survivors find haven in Tagum
More News from Philippine Daily Inquirer
TAGUM CITY—Some 80 kilometers away from his devastated community, 44-year-old Edwin Balinas has found a place where he wouldn't worry anymore about food, clothing and most importantly, the threat of another deluge every time it rains.
For Balinas and dozens of others who had fled the death and destruction brought by Typhoon "Pablo" early this month, this city is more than just a safe haven.
Local officials and employees provided them with virtually everything they need—just for them to find comfort and joy despite their misery.
"People in this city are good-hearted. Their mayor provides all our needs. There are always doctors and nurses taking care of us," said the father of four, whose wife is still missing and one of their four children dead after their hut was wiped out by the flood that swept Andap village in New Bataan, Compostela Valley, on Dec. 4.
Balinas' 8-year-old son, Angelo, and two other children survived although the Grade 3 pupil of Andap Elementary School has a broken arm.
While other victims left in evacuation centers had simple Christmas celebrations, those living at the Rotary Park in downtown Tagum had in fact, an almost perfect, traditional Christmas.
The city government provided food, such as lechon (roasted pig), toys and other gifts for the children, according to Mayor Rey Uy. "They had Noche Buena courtesy of many sponsors. The city government gave them one lechon," said Uy.
The evacuees were also treated to musical entertainment, with the city's band RTU Music Makers performing Christmas tunes, and much to the enjoyment of everyone, Uy even did a rendition of the worldwide dance hit "Gangnam Style."
"We were so happy because even Mayor Uy danced. We had a party," 17-year-old Oscar Guerrero Jr. of Poblacion, New Bataan, told the Inquirer.
"This is the first Christmas that I'm on duty," said Sanchez.
Uy said the city would shoulder the medical expenses of injured victims at the evacuation center, including the surgery of Angelo's fractured arm.
He said he had also asked the administration of the city run-Tagum City Trade School to waive the tuition of 40 student-victims enrolled in that school for them to graduate.
The mayor also pledged to help in the reconstruction of communities devastated by the storm, ordering the deployment of two city-owned band saws to New Bataan and Nabunturan to be used to cut and saw fallen coconut trees.
Lumber made out of these coconut trees would be used in building houses and shelters for the victims, added the mayor.
The city government also handed out movie passes to the evacuees and for the younger Balinas, it would be his first time to watch a movie.
Another evacuee, Joseph Fuentes, 24, of Poblacion, Compostela, said he and his pregnant live-in partner Elona Jane Gumanit, 20, planned to watch on Monday.
"We'll watch together," said Fuentes, a plantation hand of multinational firm Sumitomo Fruits (Sumifru)-owned Compostela Plantations Inc., whose house was also wiped out by the storm-induced flood that hit Compostela town.
Asked what kind of movie he and his partner would like to watch, Fuentes said: "A comedy film so we can laugh." Frinston L. Lim with reports from Danilo Adorador III and Nico Alconaba, Inquirer Mindanao

Please Explain: Breakfast Cereal
Friday, September 10, 2010
Today's Please Explain is all about breakfast cereal. Food historian Andy Smith, the author of Eating History: Thirty Turning Points in the Making of American Cuisine, among other books, joins us along with Edwin Chavey, aka Mr. Breakfast, director of the Mr. Breakfast Website and "The Cereal Project," a database of 1,200 cereals made in the United States, to explain what cereals are made of, how truthful health claims made about some are, and how there got to be so many varieties.
Guests:Edwin Chavey and Andy Smith
Comments [28]
program was non-educational and only served to promote sugared cereals. no one read ALL the (junk) ingredients from any cereal box or explained what they were doing in cereal and how they likely cut the cost of manufacturing. no one suggested buying a nonsugared cereal (what even are their names?) and adding your own fruit, raisins and sugar to taste.
Radio nutritionist, Ronald Hoffman, MD, says for optimum health benefits (lowering cholesterol and keeping your system flowing) buy Old Fashioned Oats. Quick Oats are highly processed.
Great interview Leonard. We are in Rome, Italy on vacation. We listened to your interview . It was fun. Surprisingly, we have Fiber One for breakfast but you can't get it in Rome. All the supermarcato's carry only Kellogg's. So, I picked up a box of Rice Crispies this morning. Michael Zullo, Upper Eastside, Manhattan
What happened to Kellogg's Concetrate cereal. I It was in a small gold box, contained 40% protein, 10 Vits & minerals. Tasted great. Why would they discontinue such a fine weath germ based cereal?
I used to snack on it out of a Dixie cup while studying.
Something that doesn't sound good but turns out to be delicious, bowls of dry cereal with OJ poured on. Blows the water version out of the... water!
as an aside, could radio announcers please stop saying wikApedia. It's wikEEpedia, it's a wiki, not a wicca.
The mammals who prefer to eat the box rather than the cereals within them are not stupid. They know what's good for them, and what isn't. Excessively carb-rich foods that will make them too heavy and slow them down, and give them health problems, are instinctively rejected.
Apple juice, Rice, Almond, and Soy milk are also great with cereal. Hot or cold.
Why is it so expensive?!
In India I came across mango-flavored cornflakes. Delicious!
What is the difference in nutritional value between quick oats (heats up in 1 minute) and slower cooked oats.
In India I came across mango-flavored cornflakes. Delicious!
When I was young, I once conducted a taste test of a breakfast cereal on an elephant. We lived near the Bronx Zoo, and I took something along to feed the animals - an opened box of corn flakes. A hole in the bottom of the box was filled in with a piece of linoleum. At the zoo, we walked into the elephant house, and I held out my box of corn flakes to an elephant. He grabbed the box from my hands with his trunk, turned it over to dump out all the corn flakes, and proceeded to eat the cardboard box and linoleum. While this "taste test" was unplanned, it confirmed my opinion of corn flakes, and perhaps the elephant's need for more fiber in his diet.
Re cerals: Kashi Strawberry Fields is delicious, stays crunchy thruout the eating!
I have always enjoyed listening to you report on serious matters like the Supreme Court or other government issues. But this is THE BEST! You talking about breakfast cereal. Cracking me up! Thanks for not taking yourself so seriously so you could do this. Good for you!
A Shredded Wheat and Whole Wheat Raisin Bread Fan
What's the qualitative difference between one-minute vs. three-minute vs. longer-cooking oatmeal?
What I eat - Kashi 7 whole grain Puffs -- 0% salt, 0% fat, some fiber. Also Pecan Splendor granola -- no sugar. In winter hot oatmeal -- either rolled or cut depending on how much time I have (never instant). Less sugar is always better.
I love this segment. It's like 3 guys sitting behind you on the bus talking about their favorite cereals.
Shredded Wheat and Bran. No sugar at all, great with fruit!
Can you please comment on Dr. Bircher's Muesli recipe? I can get addicted to that cold morning concoction but it can be high in calories with the yogurt, fruit, nuts, etc.
In Canada all packaging is bi-lingual, English/French; the back of the Rice Crispies had some adventure of the three elves, "Snap, Crackle and Pop" whose names in French were "Cric, Crac & Croc."
this segment is funnier than the one with the "humorist"
I'm dissaponted that my book "The Good Breakfast Book" is not on Mr Breakfast's book list.Lots of healthy ideas. Find it at healthyhighways.com
What was the first breakfast cereal to offer prizes or toys in their boxes?
I keep waiting for the shoe to drop and this segment is revealed as a joke. How is Toobin keeping a straight face doing this ridiculous interview. It should have been titled "Two men with nothing to do" Watch The Road to Wellville"
I love weetabix!
But I read that some rats were given extruded (as opposed to prepared like oatmeal) cereal and some were fed cereal boxes and the ones who ate the boxes fared better than those eating extruded cereals.
Celts ate oats with cod livers in the hebrides
There was no such thing as a fat human until the "agricultural revolution," when initially female humans learned through trial and error to plant and grow carbohydrates in the form of wheat, rice and other carb-rich cereals while their men were out hunting for protein. Then we begin to see archaeological artifacts of rather chubby female goddesses begin to appear. The concept of a fat human was so bizarre as to be seen as virtually divine. Processed carbs in the form of breakfast cereals became an American cultural icon, like blue jean denims.
When I was living in Japan, I got used to fish soup and rice with tea for breakfast. Often there was natto, which is fermented soybeans. Don't ask. Leftovers from the night before is also common.
This concept of eating sweetened breakfast, pancakes/syrup, sweetened cereal, French toast, even hot cereals which are sweetened, is not a concept we grew up with in India. I still prefer traditional Indian breakfast, but If i am not wrong, this preference for sugar rather than salt in the morning, is fairly new even in the west, Please explain, how this happened. Is it mostly due to cereal companies trying to sell their products as healthfood, or Has FDA got anything to do with this.

LOTS more of our fellow travelers are packing for the airport, so to speak. So far this year (as of the end of last week), the Transportation Security Administration has found 892 guns in passengers' carry-on bags at security checkpoints. That's a 19 percent increase from the comparable period of last year, when the total was 750 guns.So, yeah. We're running nearly 20 percent above the record-breaking pace of last year, and the number of handheld instant death machines allegedly forgotten entirely by their carriers has nearly tripled since 2005, when the TSA first started keeping count. I wonder why?
The 2013 gun-tote tally was a record, at 1,813 firearms found, incidentally. As this year's gun haul keeps rolling along, a one-day record was set just last Wednesday, when screeners found 18 guns, which beat the previous one-day record of 13 guns on May 20, 2013. About 80 percent of all guns found are loaded.
Other than that, it was a relatively quiet week, and "no news is good news" when it comes to GunFAIL. While there's never really going to be no news, this one was, mercifully, on the slow side. Keep in mind that by "slow," we mean that only 12 people accidentally shot themselves, only four law enforcement officers (including a firearms instructor) were accidentally shot, only three people accidentally discharged their guns while cleaning them, and only one person accidentally Second Amendmented their neighbor's home. And just eight kids were accidentally shot last week, too, though the toll included seasonal tragedies like graduation party shootings, the numbers of which might be expected to tick upward in the next couple of weeks. This week's child victims were aged 23 months, 3, 10, 13, 15, 15, 17 and 17.
The standout stories of the week included the Moscow, ID, man who fell down the stairs at home while carrying a gun and accidentally shot himself, and the Meigs County, TN, man who accidentally shot himself while driving. Both died of their injuries. And the man in Cornwall, NY, who accidentally shot his wife while demonstrating what I'm sure he intended to be the proper use of a firearm. It just didn't work out as intended, which really has always been the entire point of this series from the very beginning. Also of note, the Bradenton, FL, man who, showing off the newest accessory for his pistol (a mounted flashlight, culprit in more than a few accidental shootings), accidentally shot his roommate in the head. UPDATE: I somehow missed this the first time around, but apparently the incident from Cornwall, NY this week also involved a tactical light. Amazing.
But the story that probably got the most attention last week thankfully involved no shooting at all. Just bad timing. A loaded gun was found in the toy aisle of a Target store in Myrtle Beach, SC, right smack in the middle of the publicity generated by the Open Carry Texas long gun-toting visit to one of their local Target stores.
All those stories and more, in the latest list, below the fold.
- STREATOR, IL, 3/01/14: was sentenced Thursday to 5 years in prison on a firearms charge. Marcus Blodgett, 23, of 718 14th Ave., Clinton, Iowa pleaded guilty Thursday to one count of unlawful possession of a weapon by a felon and was sentenced to the maximum 5 years. Blodgett was charged March 1 after Streator police located 19-year-old Christopher John Smith of Clinton, Iowa with "life-threatening" injuries sustained from a gunshot wound. Smith survived, and Blodgett never was charged with attempted murder, aggravated battery with a firearm or any other charge indicating an intent to injure or kill. Attorneys subsequently revealed the shot was fired recklessly or during horseplay.
- BELFAST, NY, 3/14/14: A Belfast man who suffered both an accidental shooting and stroke within a day in March is undergoing rehabilitation in Rochester. Meanwhile, a benefit is set for Saturday to help him and his family meet medical expenses. The benefit will take place at the Belfast Fire Hall. It will be from noon to 8 PM Saturday, said Rick Jozwiak, Wuersig's friend. Admission is free and the event is open to the public. Eric Wuersig was at home on the evening of March 14 when he was accidentally shot in the stomach. He was flown by Mercy Flight to Strong Memorial in Rochester. "As far as the gunshot, that was all just a matter of a small pistol falling from a gun safe and discharging," Jozwiak said. "He was in the safe looking for something. She (Lisa Wuersig) and her mother were there at the time. Even after he was shot, he was walking and talking. He walked to the ambulance. He was still talking when they put him on Mercy Flight." "The stroke just compounded everything," he said. "Everything from the accident to the stroke was a total surprise of his friends and family. There was no way to definitively say whether it was the result of the gunshot wound ... or if it was independent."
- TEXARKANA, TX, 5/01/14: Henry Milligan accidentally shot himself in the face while cleaning his gun. Despite his injuries, he tried to tell 911 dispatchers what was wrong and where he was. "A shell got jammed in the gun and whenever I went to set it down it went off and it got me in the face," Milligan said. Henry has been temporarily released from University Health Shreveport. During his five-week stay in the hospital, he has undergone multiple surgeries to reconstruct his face. "They have taken out his frontal sinus," said Henry's mother Angela Milligan. Doctors have reconstructed the orbits of his eyes and put in metal plates for his jaw bones. "The first time I seen my son his face was pretty much gone," said Henry's father Wayne Milligan. "Like I said it has been amazing what God has done." The accident happened as Henry was preparing for a weekend of recreation shooting with his father. "My son has been raised around guns," Wayne said. "I would like to get it out there that this could happen to anybody."
- LEMOYNE, PA, 5/09/14: An Elizabethtown man faces charges after an accidental shooting in Lemoyne in May. Derek L. Olson, 21, was arrested and charged June 5 with felony firearms not to be carried without a license and misdemeanor recklessly endangering another person after an incident in the 500 block of Bosler Avenue on May 9. West Shore Regional Police said the incident occurred at 7:44 PM, and responding officers found a 15-year-old boy inside a home with a gunshot wound. The boy was taken to Penn State Hershey Medical Center via Life Lion. He was treated and released, expecting to recover, police said. Police said Olson admitted to carrying a firearm without a license and unintentionally shooting the boy, who was a friend of his. He was arraigned before Magisterial District Judge Elizabeth Beckley on Thursday and bail was set at $5,000. Bail was posted and he was released. A preliminary hearing is scheduled for June 18 before Beckley.
- COLUMBIA, SC, 5/18/14: Columbia Police have arrested a suspect in a shooting that left one man dead early Sunday morning at the 7400 block of Garners Ferry Road. Columbia Police say Nicholas Reed Moses,19, has been charged with involuntary manslaughter and unlawful carrying of a pistol. Richland County Coroner Gary Watts has identified the victim at Shamoray Antonio Robinson, 18, of Columbia. According to authorities, Moses and the Robinson attended a party with several other people before the shooting. During the party, an argument occurred between Moses and a unidentified third party. They say due to the fight, the Richland County Sheriff's Deputies were called to the scene where they shut down the party and dispersed the attendees. The victim then drove Moses and other individuals from the party. Officers report that the unidentified third party pulled up alongside the victim's vehicle while they were traveling along Garners Ferry Road and began arguing with Moses. Investigators say that during the argument Moses allegedly pulled out a firearm causing it to discharge, unintentionally striking Robinson who was driving. Columbia Police responded shortly after and found the victim unresponsive in the roadway beside his vehicle at 7424 Garners Ferry Road. EMS pronounced the victim dead at the scene.
- LONG BEACH, CA, 5/26/14: The LA County Sheriff's Department revealed Thursday that a deputy shot and wounded last month during the fatal takedown of a suspect in Compton was shot accidentally by his partner. The shooting occurred on May 26, 2014 at 69th Way and Long Beach Boulevard, Long Beach. Investigators said that deputies confronted a male suspect in his twenties when a struggle ensued. The suspect ran northbound from the initial location. Deputies said a second struggle occurred when they caught up to the suspect a second time. During the struggle, the man allegedly tried to take one of the deputy's guns. This resulted in both deputies firing their weapons at the suspect, who, they said was also armed with his own hand gun. The suspect was struck by their gunfire and pronounced dead at the scene. During the struggle, one of the deputies was shot once in torso. The deputy was transported to a local hospital where he underwent surgery. He is now recovering at home, according to the LASD.
- GULF SHORES, AL, 5/27/14: Sources tell FOX10 News Phillip Jones, the brother of Atlanta Falcons receiver and former Alabama star Julio Jones, was the victim of a shooting that happened in Gulf Shores on Tuesday, May 27. According to a relative, Jones' arm had to be removed due to injuries sustained from the gunshot wound. A woman who was at the home spoke with Fox10 News and said she was sitting on the porch with Jones and Sutton Tuesday night. "He (Jones) and I were fussing and then Mr. Sutton said stop and the gun went off accidentally. He didn't mean for the gun to go off. It was a shotgun," the woman explained who asked we not reveal her identity. This is the second shooting within a week involving brothers of the two Atlanta Falcon starting wide receiver duo, Julio Jones and Roddy White.
- RALEIGH, NC, 5/29/14: A Raleigh police officer shot another officer and a fire extinguisher during a confrontation with a reportedly intoxicated man last week, according to a report released Thursday by the Raleigh Police Department. Officers came to an apartment complex on Colbert Creek Loop early May 29 to answer a complaint that a man named Joshua Timberlake was fighting with his girlfriend. A 911 caller reported that Timberlake had pulled out a gun and waved it over his head while cursing and challenging the caller, who had sought to intervene. Thursday's report gave the following account of what happened next: A sergeant and two officers knocked on Timberlake's door about 2 AM. One officer left to check the back of the building, leaving Sgt. J.D. Malzahn and Officer K.J. Barefoot at the door. Soon after, the door suddenly "flew open," and Timberlake pointed a handgun out the door and into the breezeway, sweeping it from side to side. Malzahn and Barefoot backed away, identifying themselves as police and ordering Timberlake to drop the weapon. Timberlake continued to sweep the gun, at one point aiming it directly at Malzahn, who drew his own weapon. Malzahn fired twice in Timberlake's direction; one round hit a fire extinguisher, spraying powder through the breezeway, while another struck Barefoot in his left hip.
- SAN LEANDRO, CA, 5/31/14: About 5 PM on May 31, San Leandro officers responded to Bayfair Center for a report of 80-100 rowdy teens in the food court, challenging and intimidating mall patrons. No crime was committed there, McManus said, but the group was asked to leave the property by security and police. The mall, he said, has a policy that prohibits groups greater than five from hanging out unless they are accompanied by a parent. The teens left the property, went to the Bayfair BART station and for the next five hours, San Leandro and BART police attempted to disperse the crowd, McManus said. During that period, one of the teens who had a handgun accidentally shot himself, McManus said. The teen shot himself in the foot while crossing a pedestrian bridge near the station just after 8 PM, said BART Lt. Michael Hayes. He was taken to a nearby hospital, treated and released and then arrested on suspicion of possession of a firearm and possession of a firearm while on probation.
- MYRTLE BEACH, SC, 5/31/14: A real gun was found in the toy aisle of Target on Seaboard Street. The police report states a loss prevention worker stumbled upon the gun Friday night. The gun was in plain view on top of a superhero Playskool toy box when the worker found it; he thought it was a toy. He realized it was real after seeing it was loaded with live ammo. The fact that it was found in an aisle geared toward children makes some shoppers feel this was no accident. "I don't think someone would accidentally drop off a gun. I think he purposely left it there for a child to pick up and think, 'Oh it's a toy gun,' and accidentally point it at somebody and it goes off," says Kennedy McClain. The police report mentions there was a suspicious male walking up and down each toy aisle, including the aisle the gun was found. Target will be releasing that surveillance video to police.
- NEW ORLEANS, LA, 6/01/14: New Orleans police on Sunday night were summoned to Slidell Memorial Hospital, where a 10-year-old boy reportedly was being treated for a self-inflicted but accidental gunshot wound to one of his hands. The NOPD provided no details on the shooting, but the incident was confirmed by Slidell Police, who first were called to the hospital after the boy's arrival sometime around 6 PM. The case shifted to NOPD detectives after it was determined the gun was fired within Orleans Parish boundaries. The incident was classified as a "negligent injury," according to officers at the hospital. It was not immediately known whether an arrest was made in connection with the incident. Initial police radio reports indicated the gun was fired inside a car traveling on eastbound Interstate-10, and that a search for the weapon was underway because it was tossed from the car by the victim's grandmother. Those details could not be confirmed Sunday night by a department spokesman.
- HOQUIAM, WA, 6/01/14: Police are investigating after a 5-year-old boy shot at a man with his parents' .38 special handgun Sunday. The man was not hit. The incident unfolded at about 3 PM. in the 600 block of K Street as the 5-year-old watched several other small boys in the neighborhood playing with toy guns in a nearby yard. He wanted to play along so he went into his home and found his parents' loaded revolver. Meanwhile, a 21-year-old Aberdeen man was walking by when he saw the boys playing with their toy guns. As the man continued to walk past he saw the 5-year-old boy with what he thought was a squirt gun, said Chief Jeff Myers of the Hoquiam police. The man watched the boy point the gun at the other children and then at him as he was about half a block away. The boy fired the gun once in the man's direction, at which point he realized the pistol was a real gun. The man told police he had to move his leg to avoid being struck by the bullet. The boy immediately dropped the gun and ran back into his home. Officers arrived and determined that the boy had taken his parents' handgun from inside the home. The parents cooperated with police and turned over the weapon, a .38 special revolver. Officers searched the area but were unable to determine where the fired bullet had landed.

Israel's Hamas Informant Was Founder's Son
And he now has choice words for daddy's group
If the story of the Mahmoud al-Mahbouh assassination leaves you wanting more cloak-and-dagger spy stuff, Haaretz broke a much-buzzed-about story today revealing that the Israeli security service's best informant within Hamas during the early-2000s Second Intifada was the son of one of Hamas's founders and top officials.
Mosab Hassan Yousef, the son of Sheikh Hassan Yousef, left the West Bank a few years ago and now lives in California as a Christian. But several years before, he was known in Shin Bet as "The Green Prince"; information he gave them led to the arrests of a number of powerful Palestinian military leaders, including notorious terrorist Marwan Barghouti. (Yousef is only 32 now; that would have made him only 18 when he was first held by Shin Bet and began to cooperate.)
Yousef's zeal of the converted extends beyond his religion, as he tells Haaretz:
Hamas cannot make peace with the Israelis. That is against what their God tells them. It is impossible to make peace with infidels, only a cease-fire, and no one knows that better than I. … They do not hesitate to massacre people in a mosque or to throw people from the 15th or 17th floor of a building, as they did during the coup in Gaza. The Israelis would never do such things. I tell you with certainty that the Israelis care about the Palestinians far more than the Hamas or Fatah leadership does.
Hamas and the Yousef family, which resides in Ramallah (interestingly, not in Hamas-controlled Gaza), have returned the compliment, claiming the story is incorrect and libelous.

Fifteen years after the insurance industry employed Harry and Louise to fight health-care reform, the couple is back.
But this time they are pushing for reform.
Back in 1993, Ben Goddard wrote and directed a series of spots for the Health Insurance Association of America featuring "Harry and Louise" as an average middle-class couple concerned about the bureaucratic complexity of the Clinton reform effort.
This time Goddard has resurrected "Harry and Louise" for a single "multi-million dollar" ad which will air during the national political conventions on the Sunday morning news shows, national cable, and on broadcast television in the Denver, Colo., and St. Paul, Minn., media markets.
The cost of the ad was split evenly between the National Federation of Independent Business, the American Cancer Action Network, the American Hospital Association, the Catholic Health Association, and Families U.S.A.
"Look at the five groups," Goddard told ABC News. "There are things that they don't agree on." But they "share a single goal and that is to put health-care reform at the top of the agenda."
The Health Insurance Association of America, the group behind the anti-reform ads in the 1990s, no longer exists.
But Karen Ignagni, the head of a successor organization -- America's Health Insurance Plans (A.H.I.P.) -- is planning to be on hand at 10:00 am ET on Tuesday when the coalition pushing for reform unveils its ad at the National Press Club.
"We're supportive of their efforts," said AHIP spokesman Robbie Zirkelbach. "We will be participating in the event and Karen will be there tomorrow."
TiVo Alert:
Be sure to tune into ABC's "Good Morning America" on Tuesday for a profile of Obama aide Reggie Love.
The Kicker:
"The natural state of this race is to be a referendum on George Bush and John McCain and the policies that John McCain supports at home and abroad. But Obama, I think, in the last couple of weeks, has allowed himself to become the center of conversation."
