Prodigal shootist Rahon helps Aztecs thrive
Leaving Santa Clara was just something Rahon wanted to do, and he had the blessing of his parents, John and Emelie.
"Nothing's better than living in San Diego," Rahon says. "I missed my family; I can see my brother play now. It's a big deal for me. Santa Clara was a great learning experience; it's helped me this year.
"I had lived in San Diego my whole life and I just thought it would be a good experience to get away. My parents said if I didn't like it to come back. Coach Fisher welcomed me with open arms. It was the right decision for me."
His mom's thrilled to be able to watch her sons — James' younger brother, Joe, was a standout junior guard at Torrey Pines this season — play all the time.
"It was about four games a week for a while," says Emelie, who's in Tucson with John. "It's neat for James to be a part of the community now. He likes to work hard and win, do what he needs to do.
"At Santa Clara, it was other things for him, not basketball. We respected his decision to come back. He's on a team that figures out a way to make things work. We tell James to enjoy the moment. Every kid wants to be where the Aztecs are now."
Situations, scores, nothing seems to bother Rahon.
"Rahon is the guy who leaves his jersey on the bus," assistant head coach Brian Dutcher says. "He doesn't feel pressure. He doesn't know time or score. He just plays like the game's on the line. When he gets a shot, he takes it. To him, the first minute of the game is like the last minute of the game.
"We recruited James hard; we were blessed when he came back. I think he can go to 16-18 points a game for us next year. He might lead the (Mountain West) conference in scoring."
Look for him today. Temple plays very little pure zone anymore, mostly a soft man-to-man defense that can sag and make it tough to score inside. The Aztecs have had 11 games where they've shot less than 25 percent on threes and twice have Blutarskied — 0-18 vs. Cal Poly and 0-7 vs. Wisconsin-Green Bay. Rahon has made 51 of his 119 three-point tries (42.9 percent).
"This is not a role I'm used to playing," Rahon says. "But I've accepted it. We've got so many weapons. Coach Fisher calls me his sixth starter. Being a scorer off the bench, I come in and look for my shot."
That's exactly what shootists do.

One kg of dry spirulina powder is being sold at Rs. 1,000 in the marketIN THE context of rising input costs and low returns in agriculture, spirulina (Arthro spira platensis), also called as blue green algae seems to promise farmers good income than other regular crops with very little investment.
Protein foodSpirulina is a nutritious protein food supplement and is also used in the manufacture of several medicines, and cosmetics. Its cultivation on a commercial scale is slowly catching up with many farmers in India, particularly in Tamil Nadu. With an unseasonal monsoon and problems in marketing many farmers have taken up spirulina cultivation as they have an assured market and a regular income, according to Mr. K. Retna Raja Singam, Programme Co-ordinator, Oferr, Nallayan Research Centre for Sustainable Development in Navallor village in Kanchipuram district Tamil Nadu.
Suitable area"Spirulina grows well in regions having temperature between 25 and 35 degrees Celsius. Though it can be grown in cement or plastic tanks of any convenient size, it is preferable if the tank size s about 10 x 5x 1.5 feet.About 1000 lts of water must be filled in the tank to a height of about one to two feet . About 1 kg of spirulina mother culture should be released into the tank along with 8g of sodium bi carbonate, 5g of sodium chloride,0.2 g of urea, 0.5 g of potassium sulphate, 0.16 g of magnesium sulphate, 0.052 ml of phosphoric acid and 0.05ml of ferrous sulphate (all measurements for one litre of water). The water should be agitated every day for a week using a long stick for half an hour.
Harvest timeAfter 10 days spirulina is ready for harvest. The algae can be harvested using small plastic buckets and poured into a mounted filter, which drains the excess water. The drained spirulina is then wrapped in clean muslin cloth and pressed under a weight of 50 kg to further drain the moisture. It is then put in small machines (used in noodle manufacturing) and squeezed in the form of noodles on a dry, clean cloth under the sun.It is then allowed to dry for 2-3 hours after which it is ground in a machine (similar to a flour machine) and the powder is sent to the lab for testing. It is then packed in small airtight plastic covers, and is ready for consumption.About 2gm of spirulina powder can be mixed in cold water, juice or ice cream and consumed. "At present we are cultivating spirulina in about 15 tanks. In a day we we are harvesting about 1 kg of spirulina from each tank. One kg of dry spirulina powder is being sold at Rs. 1,000 in the market.
Gross income"In a month we are able to earn about Rs, 60,000 as gross income from this spirulina," said Mr. Retna Raja Singam. Even after deducting the expense for maintenance and employment for six persons we are able to realize a net profit of Rs. 30,000, he explained.
Training programme
"Though Oferr was created solely for the purpose for giving training to Sri lankan refugees on spirulina cultivation, we have also started conducting training programmes to several farmers in our farm. Till date we have conducted nearly 5000 training camps," said Mr. Retna Raja Singam. Mr. K. Retna Raja Singam, Programme co-ordinator can be reached at Oferr, Nallayan Research Centre for Sustainable Development, Navallor village, Kanchipuram district, Tamil Nadu, email: email@example.com, phone: 044- 28193063(office),mobile: 98840-00413 and 98840-00414(farm)

NYBC has several great resources on Multi's.
NYBC publishes an excellent newsletter resource called the SUPPLEMENT, which is available in print form (sent to members with their orders) and via email Subscribe to the Supplement Email Newsletter. We have numerous NYBC Blog entries NYBC has a series of Supplement Fact Sheets including this Multivitamin Fact Sheet. Below are some of these articles, fact-sheets and entries on multi's:
The Journal of the American Medical Association has published a new study showing that a multivitamin and selenium combination supplement significantly reduced immune decline and morbidity in people with HIV who were treatment naïve (=not on antiretroviral/ARV therapy). This was a two year study with individuals who had CD4 counts above the recommended threshold for beginning ARV treatment. Over the two-year period, the combination of a daily multivitamin plus the mineral selenium cut by about half the risk of reaching the point where ARV therapy would be recommended (CD4 count of 200-250).
This study shows the importance of daily multivitamin + selenium supplementation for HIV+ people who are recently infected and/or have relatively high CD4 counts. It also provides further confirmation of the value of multivitamin, multi-mineral supplement strategies like the one included in the NYBC MAC-Pack.
Aside from the recent Times article that once again spread a message of fear and misinformation, three articles were published in the Annals of Internal Medicine that were accompanied by an editorial verging on hysteria that proclaimed in stentorious tones: DON'T TAKE THEM!
Is that a justifiable conclusion? Well, when you look at the studies undertaken, I don't believe the answer is that clearcut. However, there also may be evidence here that clarifies who may and may not benefit from a simple micronutrient supplement. At the end of the article are links to other analyses that rebut the claims made.
Let's take a little closer look at each of these three negative studies. First, one relatively large study, using a low dose combination of often synthetic vitamin constituents (Centrum Silver) among older individuals (1). Using these modest doses, the upshot of the study, which was otherwise well-controlled and randomized, found no benefit of the use of the supplement in offsetting or mitigating cognitive decline over about 10-14 years. This was part of the large physician's study and the study was limited by the potential that the doses may have been too low for an otherwise well-nourished population. Is this generalizable to older individuals who are well-nourished?
Perhaps so and taking a Centrum is therefore quite probably a waste of money if maintaining cognitive function is the goal. However, this is the same study that had previously reported that even this simple intervention modestly reduced the risk of cancer. Is that a useful endpoint? And indeed, the authors note that the study may need to be up to 20 years or longer to adequately detect any significant differences.
The third study was a meta-analysis or review of the literature that has pre-specified criteria for the selection of studies to be reviewed and then applies statistical analytic techniques to combine the results into a conclusion (3). They sought to assess the use of multivitamins in the primary prevention of cancer or cardiovascular disease. (Drug studies indeed more commonly look at the use of a drug in preventing a second heart attack, for example: secondary prevention.) Having done these, I know there is a certain degree of judgment in what gets selected and the method used for analysis. In this case, the authors note that the primary limitations are as they note is 1) they only assessed four RCTs and one cohort study that used radically different multivitamin/mineral formulas; one of these was a study that used a multi with only 5 ingredients another only 3 vitamins; 2) these were ONLY among otherwise healthy adults (not secondary prevention studies). The PHS-II study, discussed above, and another the SU.VI.MAX study were the two largest studies. So what can we conclude from this? That the extant data do not robustly support the use of a multi for these indications? Possibly, though they also note that the large PHS-II study that found a benefit for reducing cancer risk also detected a benefit for fatal myocardial infarction (adjusted hazard ratio, 0.61 [95% CI, 0.38 to 0.995]; P < 0.048). It may again be that these interventions are not up to the rather daunting task of achieving the endpoint of primary prevention—such studies probably need to be larger and a lot longer to come up with definitive conclusions.
They also reviewed single and paired studies. They noted that calcium alone is ineffective overall and possibly dangerous as a single supplement, but you throw in vitamin D, and gosh–lower mortality, though just barely (unadjusted RR 0.94, 95%? CI 0.87,1.01). It begins to beggar the imagination however to think these extremely disparate trials can be combined in any meaningful way when the populations, interventions and even primary outcomes were so significantly different.
The third study, however, did assess the effects of chelation therapy, with or without a multivitamin/mineral combination as secondary prevention for a heart attack (myocardial infarction) (3). It was a relatively short study with a median follow-up of 31 months in the vitamin group. The article notes that there was a huge dropout rate. Of the 853 in the vitamin arm and the 855 in the placebo arm, 584 and 547 were lost to follow up, respectively but the analysis was done "intent-to-treat" and all were included in the final analysis. Further, the study was not powered to see a difference with the few that were finally enrolled and completed the study—i.e., the initial proposal was to enroll 2,372 patients. And there was a small difference: while the primary and secondary outcomes did not achieve statistical significance, one can see in the Kaplan-Meier curves that there is a lower rate of events in the multi arm compared to the control by about 11% and that appears to improve as the study progresses: had it lasted longer or been better powered, might this trend have improved over time? We don't know. The effect is relatively modest but the study wasn't powered to detect this difference.
It seems to me that the latter study reflects reality and should calm the anxieties about people using supplements expressed by the editors (4). The upshot: Most people don't want to take vitamins as suggested by the Lamas study. If THAT conclusion is generalizable, they have little to fear—but is that wise public policy?
The other important fact to note was that all the studies showed no evidence of adverse events. For the most part, side effects of the use of supplements are exceedingly rare and generally arise with the use of single agents (e.g., vitamin E or beta-carotene alone). Probably not the wisest way to use interventions designed to work in a biological way or in a system that is severely oxidatively stressed.
I would suggest several caveats. First, this is irrelevant to people living with HIV. Even a fairly simple formula can have a significant impact in slowing disease progression and reducing mortality (modestly) with the use of a multivitamin/mineral. The results of our meta-analysis will, we hope, be published soon. (This of course does NOT mean they are a replacement for antiretroviral therapy! Absolutely not.)
Second, these are SUPPLEMENTS – diet and access to clean water need to be the first consideration and far too many people have limited access to these basics while millions of others are forced to consume what is available on the market, which is often poor quality, processed, loaded with chemicals, preservatives, antibiotics, hormones and potentially dangerously genetically modified.
And finally, supplements are NOT drugs in key ways. They are supporting the body's ability to fight disease while retaining an optimal level of health, especially when we are discussing the use of vitamins and minerals (as opposed to botanicals). Whether the optimal dosages have been determined, whether the findings are generalizable to everyone, whether there are groups, like people with HIV, for whom they are demonstrably beneficial—these are questions hardly answered to the point of declaring no one should ever use them as these editors have done.
We were interested to see a short Q and A today in our hometown newspaper, The New York Times. The subject was "micronutrients," and the question was specifically about multivitamins:
Q. A doctor told me that you don't need daily vitamin supplements if you eat right, and that they don't dissolve anyway. Is he correct?
The NYT answer: The doctor is probably not correct. The reality is, very many people do not have the varied smorgasbord of optimum nutrients in their diet that represents the nutritional ideal. One example cited in the reply: carotenoids, important in preventing vision-destroying macular degeneration, are found in sufficient quantities only in a few leafy green vegetables like spinach and collards that most Americans do not consume with sufficient regularity.
As for whether multivitamins dissolve: current standards of quality control testing for multivitamins do generally insure that micronutrients reach the small intestine, where they can be effectively absorbed.
We would add that factors like age and health status may also affect the absorption of nutrients. See our blog posts about gastrointestinal health for tips on subjects such as additional B vitamin requirements as you get older; or use of supplements like glutamine for poor absorption of nutrients in the gut.

We be JAMA! Report: Multivitamin + selenium slows progression of early-stage HIV
We're tempted to file this story under the heading of "news that we already knew," but it's still good to get a stamp of approval in the form of publication in Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA), one of the top medical journals in the U.S., if not the world.
At NYBC and at our predecessor DAAIR we have long recognized the development of vitamin and mineral deficiencies in HIV, and have long recommended multivitamin/mineral supplements to counter those health-threatening deficiencies. We have also followed for years the work of Marianna Baum, lead author of the JAMA study, who has focused attention on the mineral selenium, which may have an important role in preventing replication of HIV. So, while this story doesn't come as a complete surprise, it's great to have further support for some long-held practices.
The combination of a daily multivitamin plus the mineral selenium proved to be an effective regimen, cutting by about half the risk of reaching the point where ARV therapy would be recommended
Baum's study was conducted in Botswana, where nearly one in four adults is infected with HIV. The trial followed about 900 newly infected adults who were not yet taking any HIV medications. These participants were divided into groups that randomly received different combinations of vitamins, the mineral selenium, or a placebo. Over the study's two-year period, the combination of a daily multivitamin plus the mineral selenium proved to be the effective regimen, cutting by about half the risk of reaching the point where ARV therapy would be recommended in Botswana (CD4 count of 200-250).
Baum's findings are especially relevant for early-stage HIV infection, where the multivitamin + selenium combination proved its value in cutting risk of progression, and actually decreased the likelihood that participants would reach the point where antiretroviral meds would be recommended. Other research, such as Dr. Jon Kaiser's study of a multivitamin + antioxidants, has been directed at those who are using antiretroviral meds, and may have developed some symptoms or side effects such as peripheral neuropathy. Kaiser's finding that the multivitamin + antioxidants combination could increase CD4 counts led to the development of K-PAX, and also motivated NYBC to offer its MAC Pack, a close equivalent of K-PAX, assembled from hand-picked products from NYBC's catalog.
Taken together, the Baum and Kaiser studies suggest to us the value of long-term supplementation strategies that can slow progression of HIV, oppose the known, damaging deficiencies that are likely to develop with HIV, and help stabilize and even improve health for people with HIV, whether they are taking antiretroviral meds or not.

When Multivitamins Attack! Recent Controversy Sparks Debate: Could Vitamins & Minerals Be Bad for You?
The short answer is: yes. ANYTHING can be toxic. Even water! If you drink too much water, you can wipe out your electrolytes. This can cause brain swelling and even death (as happened to some soldiers and reported in the J. of Military Medicine).
The question comes up because some physicians and community members have expressed alarm at the possibility that micronutrients can be toxic, particularly to the liver. Yes, it's true that vitamins and minerals can be toxic. Nonetheless, we're obliged to balance legitimate concerns in this department with the many decades of publications showing so much benefit from supplementing with vitamins and minerals. Please don't throw out your multivitamin (or other supplements) just yet!
Happily, there is independent science to help answer the question "HOW MUCH IS TOO MUCH?" One way to look at it is the no-observed-adverse-effect-level (NOAEL), defined as the "greatest concentration or amount of a substance, found by experiment or observation, which causes no detectable adverse alteration of morphology, functional capacity, growth, development, or life span of the target organism under defined conditions of exposure." Got that?
Many studies have found that the vitamins and minerals in quite potent multi formulas are very safe, with little likelihood of causing side effects. The biggest concerns are the fat-soluble vitamins (A, D, E and K), as these may have an impact on liver function. So for people on liver-toxic meds and/or with chronic hepatitis, high doses of these may be worrisome.
The good news is that vitamins D and E are not so troublesome, with fairly high levels required to cause a problem. Perhaps the biggest worry is Vitamin A. While most of the stuff in the NYBC Custom Multi is in the water-soluble beta-carotene form, a hefty 7500 IUs of A (IU= international unit, a standard measure) is also included. Is this too much?
By some measures, it may be, since there is a published NOAEL of 3,000mg per day for Vitamin A. To keep under that safety limit, you should take only about four Custom Multi pills per day (not the suggested nine). However, given that HIV is often associated with Vitamin A deficiency, six to seven tablets would probably be fine. Indeed, many of us feel the Custom Multi Vitamin A dosage, even for people with liver disease or on liver-toxic meds, is fine, because it's provided together with all the other nutrients needed to keep it in balance. (Of course, we'd love to have more clinical data to explore this widely-held view!)
For now, to address concerns about Vitamin A toxicity, observe this caution: stop taking the multi immediately if you experience nausea and vomiting, blurred vision, or bone pain. (These may be symptoms of many other conditions, but one way to know if they're linked to the multi—is to stop taking the multi!)
The good news is that a lot of people have been using these multis and Added Protection for years with no liver trouble that we've heard reported at either NYBC or our predecessor, DAAIR. That's not definitive proof of course which is partly why we feel it is important to raise the issue: forewarned is forearmed!
We know that iron can be hard on the liver, which is why NYBC offers a formula without iron. Too much selenium is very toxic, but the level at which concern arises is much above that in the Custom Multi (400 mcg). While this amount is higher than is sometimes seen even in potent formulas, it is there for a reason: people with HIV tend to have significant selenium deficiency.
Indeed, NYBC's Custom Multi was designed around known nutrient deficiencies associated with HIV infection. It's hoped that levels provided in the multi can help offset the damage done by HIV to gut function, absorption, and blood levels of these nutrients, which are critical for health and survival.

Gotta have HAART? Here's Hopeful News
Old news, you might say, reading the title above…but in science, "old" news is always being updated, questioned, revised. For many years, NYBC and its predecessor DAAIR have been putting out news and views on the use of antioxidants and other micronutrients to counter drug toxicities related to HAART (Highly Active Anti-Retroviral Therapy). So we thought you'd like to hear about two sources from the past year that assess where the HIV research community now stands on this subject.
First, we'll mention researchers from Tufts University, who have reviewed a long list of studies and concluded that micronutrients, especially antioxidants, can play a significant role in helping people with HIV manage the toxicities associated with drug therapy. ("Micronutrients: Current Issues for HIV Care Providers," from June, 2005, can be found online at the National AIDS Treatment Advocacy Project's site – a good web resource for HIV treatment info.) In particular, the authors advocate focusing more research energy on supplements that can benefit people co-infected with HIV and hepatitis; supplements to combat cardiovascular disease (a big concern as people with HIV continue on drugs for years); and supplements to help counter cognitive problems in people with HIV. To date, these investigators find the strongest evidence for the usefulness of Vitamins C and E, selenium, and a good multivitamin in combating drug toxicities and maintaining health over the long haul. (Also cited: Vitamin D for bone health. See "Close to the Bone" in this issue of SUPPLEMENT.)
Secondly, we recommend an interview with Dr. Jon Kaiser, conducted by NYBC's George Carter at the 2005 Conference on Retroviruses and Opportunistic Infections (CROI) in Boston. Dr. Kaiser, who has a large HIV+ practice in San Francisco, has been investigating and writing about nutritional supplements and HIV for over ten years. One of his main conclusions is that antioxidants (chiefly, alpha lipoic acid, NAC, and acetyl l-carnitine) may be useful not only in dampening HAART side effects, but also in promoting "immune reconstitution." Doing repair work on the immune system, boosting CD4 counts—this remains an essential goal as people stay on HAART for longer periods of time and the potential for health problems due to side effects escalates.
Speaking of clinical trials he has recently conducted, Dr. Kaiser stated, "When I added the Alpha Lipoic Acid and the Acetyl L-Carnitine to the NAC, in the background of a good potent multivitamin, I saw really an astounding difference in freedom from HAART side effects and increase in CD4 count."
Well, we warned you not to expect anything earth-shatteringly "new." But isn't it good to have a little confirmation now and then that you've been heading in the right direction all along?--NYBC SUPPLEMENT Issue #3
1-3 tablets with meals, especially useful when taken 1 tablet per breakfast, lunch and dinner. A high-quality multiple may require you to take more pills per day than you are used to (and certainly more than "One-A-Day") — for obvious reasons: there is an upward limit to how large a single pill can be. The simple fact is that even the best multiples simply do not have room in a single pill for everything you probably need to include. If you are wondering about increased dosage of 6-9 tablets per day, members can talk with our Treatment Director, George Carter for lab work and regimen advice.
Many folks start with a good multivitamin and then add to that baseline formula supplementing additionally based on needs such as possibly 2,500 IU to 5,000 IU of vitamin D3**.

RDA variance and advice: the RDA can vary based on age, and whether women are a pregnant or breastfeeding, in which cases the above RDA is based on men and women ages 1-70 years and for women that are not breastfeeding or pregnant. A variety of factors such as what medications you are taking and what chronic conditions you may have can significantly contribute to altered nutrient blood-levels and bioavailability. Additionally, it should be noted that the RDA is often the minimal figure of a range (of conservative general population figures). Due to these factors, it is, therefore, recommended that you consider expert advice as these general recommendations are not intended to take the place of medical advice. You are encouraged to talk to a knowledgable consultant, practitioner or doctor to get advice based on your unique circumstances and needs. Unfortunately, not all experts have a time allotment long enough or the care, consideration or training to be able to answer your questions or to test for blood levels when necessary. So, consider whether your provider is giving you the attention you want--as a specialist may be required.

Samajwadi Party may be bitterly opposed to BJP but it is not happy over the rumblings within that party as it feels that disintegration of the main opposition party will not augur well for the country's polity.
"For the sake of democracy, we think that BJP should not disintegrate. Its weakening will not be good for democracy as it is the main opposition party. Moreover, Congress will become pompous if this happens, and it will hijack all significant posts," SP general secretary Amar Singh told on Thursday from Singapore, where he is recovering after a kidney transplant operation.
Mr. Singh at the same time said being the third largest party in the country after Congress and BJP, SP would be willing to fill the vacuum created by BJP.
He, however, refused to comment on whether SP will welcome into its fold other BJP leaders like Arun Shourie or Yashwant Sinha (both of whom are unhappy with BJP leadership), though he said feelers have been sent to Jaswant Singh to join SP.
"Yashwant Sinha was with us earlier (during Samajwadi Janata Party days in early 1990s). We all worked together, but it will not be right to comment on leaders of other parties," Mr. Singh said, adding "politics is not played on possibilities".
The SP leader said he respects Mr. Shourie, "but his (Shourie's) main concern is that RSS should take the reins of BJP in its hands and not allow the party to drift away." Mr. Singh described him as a river which "cannot be tamed".

HoopsHype Elgin Baylor rumors
Q: You enjoyed playing with Wilt? Jerry West: He was one of the most uniquely different people that I've ever been around in my life. I felt that at times he never felt he got the credit due him. The two of us were probably pretty easy targets, because you would think that someone of his stature would have won more than two NBA championships during his career, and it was grossly unfair how people looked at him like that. And hell, I had never won a championship playing alongside one of the truly great players who never gets his due, and that's Elgin Baylor. I had kind of an interesting relationship with [Wilt], particularly our last year together [1972-73 season]. It was really interesting because many nights we would, unbeknownst to most people, we would go in his room or my room and have dinner, and talk about a lot of things, many of 'em not basketball related, to be honest with you. But I found him to be very introspective, also now in many ways like all of us, the insecurities that we all have sometimes as athletes. It's easy to feel great about when you win championships. New York Post
Johnson said the recent revelations about Sterling support the accusations that former Clipper general manager Elgin Baylor made in a lawsuit, alleging that he was a victim of age and race discrimination, and that Sterling had a "plantation mentality." "And now we all feel bad that we didn't support [Baylor], because we should have," Johnson said. "And everything that he said is coming to light today. " Los Angeles Times
This is hardly the first unflattering story when it comes to Sterling, who purchased the team in 1981 for $12.5 million (according to Forbes Magazine). Clippers legend and former general manager Elgin Baylor accused him of having a "plantation mentality" in his unsuccessful lawsuit against Sterling. Sterling also paid millions to settle with the U.S. Department of Justice after being sued for discriminatory rental practices. USA Today Sports
This is Elgin Baylor's life, flashing across a screen, being monetized in dollars and euros and pounds and even yen. This is Beverly Hills on a Friday, where Julien's Auctions has for years made its business on driving up the prices on everything from Michael Jackson's clothing to Madonna's VMA awards. This is nearly six months in the making, the room decorated in Lakers purple and gold, its display cases stuffed with the 78-year-old's awards, plaques and even telegrams. FoxSportsWest.com
The 11-time NBA All-Star forward decided last year that it was time to get rid of the rooms of stored memorabilia, memorabilia to which he had little emotional connection, in some cases. Baylor is reportedly not in financial straits and is simply tired of paying to insure more than half a century's worth of the trappings of his career, and so he sought out a way to divest himself of it. FoxSportsWest.com
He knows what you're thinking. He knows you're thinking, poor Elgin. He knows you think he is selling his life's work because he needs the money, or he's worried about his heirs paying an inheritance tax on the items. He knows you're thinking he's desperate. But Baylor says he's fine. He always says he's fine. "You're thinking there's something financial going on here, but it's not true,'' he said. "I have no financial problems at all. None of that. Seriously." Los Angeles Times
He spent some of his basketball career above the rim, some of it behind a desk, all of it in limbo. Elgin Baylor was a Lakers star before the Lakers were stars. He was a Clippers boss before the Clippers were boss. He was always Los Angeles' other idol, its other general manager, its afterthought legend, the guy who laid the cement for the Staples Center statues and quietly watched it dry. Baylor rarely owned the spotlight here, but Friday, he will command it in startling fashion. He'll be selling everything it shines upon. Los Angeles Times
Julien's Auctions will present historic collections including iconic pieces from the Harlan Werner Muhammad Ali Collection, the Whalen "Whaley" Monica World Series and All-Star Game collection in its entirety, and the collection of NBA Legend Elgin Baylor. Basketball will take center court when the Collection of Elgin Baylor is also offered on Friday. The exclusive collection of the eleven-time NBA All-Star, Basketball Hall of Fame inductee and L.A. Lakers legend features memorabilia from every stage of his career. Artdaily.org
Lakers Hall of Famer Elgin Baylor will be auctioning off memorabilia, awards and personal items on May 31 with the help of Julien's Auctions. Baylor, whose No. 22 jersey is retired at Staples Center, is making available his 1959 All-Star Game MVP Trophy, his 1971-72 championship ring and a number of rare items accumulated over his legendary career. "I worked and played as hard as I possibly could. My college coach said just give it your best effort and then you can feel good about what you've done," Baylor told Michael Mink of Investor's Business Daily. Los Angeles Times

"I worked and played as hard as I possibly could. My college coach said just give it your best effort and then you can feel good about what you've done," Baylor told Michael Mink of Investor's Business Daily. "I was always competitive. I always wanted to win regardless of what I was doing. I would just keep going until I wore my opponent out. That was my approach," the 6-foot-5 former forward said. Los Angeles Times
The front office turned sour on Del Negro earlier this season when he chatted with Celtics' boss Danny Ainge about a deal to acquire Kevin Garnett. They felt it wasn't his place to do so. Hard feelings remain. Del Negro also isn't as sold on keeping DeAndre Jordan as the front office is, and so there are grounds for continued conflict. If I knew the name of the team's wallflower general manager, I would tell you. Andy Roeser remains Donald Sterling's top aide, but he's lost much of his influence now that Sterling's son-in-law, Eric Miller, has joined the team in training as possibly Sterling's heir apparent. Too early to say if we're talking upgrade. Mike Dunleavy used to work around the front office, bypassing Elgin Baylor to get things done. But he was more the politician, while Del Negro isn't one for sweet talk. Los Angeles Times
Former pro basketball star and coach Elgin Baylor and his wife, Elaine, have put their Beverly Crest area estate on the market at $4.25 million. The contemporary Mediterranean-style home, built in 1981, is sited on nearly an acre to take advantage of canyon and city views. Features include a 1,600-square-foot great room that could function as a home theater or game room. There are multiple decks, six bedrooms, eight bathrooms and more than 8,000 square feet of living space. Los Angeles Times
What about Kobe Bryant? "I played with Elgin Baylor in NBA2K12 last year," Howard said. "We were on the same team. It was pretty good. We won all the games." And Pau Gasol? "I don't think there's nobody like Pau," Howard said of the floppy-haired Spaniard. "But I think Pau was on 'Sesame Street' … the yellow bird." Los Angeles Times
After that, it gets ugly. For as bad as Jordan's teams have performed (their total winning percentage is .369), he's actually only third from the bottom of our list. Elgin Baylor was the suit in charge of the Los Angeles Clippers for 22 years, a period in which he compiled a .349 win percentage. During his tenure, the Clippers won just one playoff series. As for the absolute worst: that honor belongs to Isiah Thomas, who worked in the front offices of the Raptors and the Knicks. He left the Raptors after clashing with management, then flamed out as an executive (and eventually head coach) of the Knicks. His struggles recently followed him to the college ranks, where Florida International fired him as its head basketball coach earlier this month after three seasons. Wall Street Journal
At that, Hall of Fame guard Oscar Robertson, who may have been every bit as good as Jordan in his day, just rolls his eyes and shakes his head. "I didn't hear the comments," Robertson told the Dan Sileo Show on WDAE in Tampa Wednesday morning. "Let me tell you about what being great is. Ever hear of Elgin Baylor? Never mention his name, do we? Great basketball player. You know what you have today? Michael Jordan was a great player, but he won after Chicago got Pippen, Grant and those other players to go along with him, because for a while they couldn't beat Detroit. "Everybody looks at what you've done. Sure he won six championships, Russell won eleven. There are other players on these teams when they play. They don't play by themselves. Michael Jordan is a great player. Was he the greatest? Ask Kobe that. Ask Bill Russell. Ask Oscar Robertson. Ask Wilt Chamberlain. Ask Elgin Baylor, Jerry West, ask those guys." Sporting News
A Los Angeles County jury Wednesday declined to award damages to NBA great Elgin Baylor, rejecting his lawsuit against the Clippers for unlawful termination based on age discrimination. By a 12-0 vote, the seven-man, five-woman jury informed Judge Kenneth R. Freeman that neither the team nor owner Donald T. Sterling or president Andy Roeser presided over a hostile workplace in which alleged harassment occurred. Los Angeles Times

Video Analytics
Video surveillance systems capture activities that require analysis and with the mass proliferation of cameras, there is a corresponding increase in demands on manpower to monitor and analyse images. Video Analytics provides a means using software algorithms to take away an element of manpower and human errors. The software can either reside on a server which receives the images for analysis or on the camera itself. Camera based systems can be linked to decision algorithms which can determine whether to stream video content to a control room or recorder based on the events under analysis. The simplest form of video analytics is Video Motion Detection, an established technology that can be prone to errors and false alarms unless triggers or thresholds are set to filter out erroneous motion that is of no interest to the operator. Other Video Analytics software can be used for virtual trip wires for the protection of perimeters and zones, abandoned object or missing object detection, people counting and behaviour analysis. Intelligent analysis is based on Artificial Intelligence and is used for more complex analysis involving object recognition, directional analysis and behavioural analysis. These systems tend to analyse and compare data rather than images which is useful for forensic analysis of video content when the alternative is to examine large quantities of video film.

Brokers and investment managers have not entirely separated equity research and broking services into two businesses, but the economic downturn is helping financial regulators in the UK and the US push such efforts. A recently published report shows that reforms by the UK's Financial Services Authority have had an effect, although it also shows that arrangements between brokers and investment managers to split research costs have become popular.

Recent Great East Lake Reviews
Beautiful lake, lots of loon and a full moon!
A great place from moment one! We were greeted by David and Golden Retrievers Sushi and Mini. David made sure to introduce us to other guests, making us feel like part of the family. We were shown into our lovely and cozy cabin. Cabin was very clean and beautifully done with lots of nice touches - extra fuzzy throw blankets, raccoon and bunny slippers, a s'mores kit and monogrammed tote bag to take home! Then a tour of the complex including boat house, beach front and tiki bar. Lots of wonderful shared amenities. David and MB were often around to chat, check on our stay and offer tourism advise and directions. Mini and Sushi gave us our dog fix! The loons sang us to sleep most nights. We had multiple sightings of a mother and father loon with their chick. Highly recommend booking when a full moon is due. Paddling in the moon light is spectacular, especially when the loons are calling. Great spot for families, retirees, couples - anyone! We'd love to visit again!
Truly Special Place
This is our second year at the cottage at Great East Lake and we simply love it. The location is gorgeous and peaceful; the owners and other vacationers are accommodating and friendly; and the cottage itself is tastefully decorated, fully equipped, and spacious. It is a home away from home for us and nearly impossible to leave after a week! We cannot wait for next year.

|America's Test Kitchen Family Cookbook and
Slow Cooker Revolution
What's great about these books is that the instructions are laid out clearly so anyone can prepare the recipe. Not only are the instructions clear, but they have pictures, not just of the final products, but preparation methods as well.
As well part of America's Test Kitchen's recipe writing process is finding out the best way to prepare an item. They talk about several ways they try to prep an item, and show you the best way, and often with pictures. Often in a recipe it will tell you to turn to a different page to show you how to prepare a certain item. As an example, for our Gluten Free Buffalo Chicken Fingers, they go through the proven and most effective way of coating the chicken that works so well for this recipes and others.
We recently purchased the Slow Cooker Revolution cookbook, and although we have only tried one recipe so far, we were not disappointed. All of this, simply reaffirms the usefulness of the America's Test Kitchen series.

dog bitingPosted by: Angie DiRuscio
Category: Aggression
Posted on: April 09, 2001 at 21:26:04
My Jack is 5 1/2 months old. He has started to bite me. It doesn't make any sense to me or my husband. I am the one who walks, plays, feeds, lets just say I give him the most attention. I will be playing with him a game of ball, and all of a sudden he will jump up at my trying to bite me....this is something that has started about a week ago. I am also the one who takes him to his training classes. I love our little Jack, but I am afraid that this behaivour will become worse when we have a baby one day. When he does bite what I will do is pat him under his lower jaw, and then give him a time out. After 10 minutes I will get him. He is also not understanding the concept of going outside when he has to potty, he does it all over the house. I have talked to my vet, trainer and I feel like I am not getting good advise. They tell me its ok to keep him in a cage for 8 hrs a day without a break. Next monday I am starting a new job and he will be alone for the entire day what can we do. Please help us!! We just need some good advise.

ORLANDO, Fla. (FNS) -- New play areas for kids inside three Gooding's stores here are the latest wrinkle in the upscale chain's strategy for marketing to children. Smaller versions of Playland in larger McDonald's stores, the soft playgrounds represent a major emphasis on attracting kids and assisting busy parents as they shop. The areas are located at the front of the stores -- usually in or near Gooding's video departments -- so parents can drop off kids to play, watch videos or read ...

Ten things that will be worth paying attention to in the new school year:
Oconomowoc High School .
They have reduced the teaching staff and increased the workload for many teachers (giving them a boost in pay).
But what really interests me is a key to their plan: Making fundamental changes in the dynamic of education.
The goal is that a lot of the presentation of lectures and other instruction will come via video and the Internet. Education will be more customized for students, students will take more responsibility for their learning, and teachers will do more coaching, mentoring, monitoring.
There's a lot of ferment in education over changes such as these. Oconomowoc will be an important test case.
High turnover in MPS and the end of the era of union power.
June 30 is the day the Milwaukee Public Schools contract with its teachers union expires.
The unfolding of a different era in MPS will accelerate as that date approaches. A huge wave of retirements of principals and teachers is expected.
Superintendent Gregory Thornton is optimistic. I can think of some reasons to be really nervous. I'm pretty sure the large majority of MPS employees can, also.
The battle over market share.
Schools are not grocery stores, but they are more than ever in the business of attracting customers. And this battle was pretty hot already.
For example, more national charter operators are arriving in Milwaukee and MPS has begun welcoming charter schools it would have resisted in the past. In a time of tighter budgets, increasing enrollment is a big help, declining enrollment a big problem.
I try to stay on top of who's doing well and who's not when it comes to enrollment. This year will be particularly interesting.
St. Anthony School in Milwaukee, especially its high school.
Fueled by money from the state's private school voucher program, St. Anthony on the south side has boomed to more than 1,500 students in kindergarten through 12th grade. But despite hard work, the school has not broken into the top ranks in Milwaukee in terms of achievement. It has hired as principal of its high school Julia D'Amato, founding principal of Ronald Reagan High School, a major Milwaukee Public Schools success story.
Will there be signs that St. Anthony can make achievement as big a deal as size?
In general, will we see more voucher schools showing stronger results?
The Montessori advance in MPS.
Advocates of the distinctive and successful Montessori approach are making big moves this year. MacDowell School has moved to the Juneau High School campus on the west side and expanded to kindergarten through 12th grade.
The small Howard Avenue Montessori School is opening on the south side. Highland Community School, an MPS-affiliated charter, is moving into larger space in the former MacDowell building near downtown. There is talk of further growth.
Will this be a boom year for Montessori?
Reaction to falling proficiency percentages.
Come spring, a lot of school communities are going to find themselves facing the news that the number of students rated proficient or advanced in state tests is way down from previous years.
Why? Because the bar for gaining that label is being raised. How will people react? "Wow, we've got to get moving and do better"? "Let's fire everyone"?
The majority party in the state Senate.
After the November elections, the Assembly is all but sure to have a Republican majority. We've already resolved the question of whether Scott Walker will remain governor.
The big question is, will there be a Republican majority in the Senate as well? If so, how big and solid?
School funding and a bunch of education issues, including charter and voucher funding and expansion, will be shaped by the answers as the two-year state budget begins in February.
Teacher evaluations.
Do you know what would happen if your school district adopted a "pay for performance" model for teachers?
I don't. But we are likely to begin to find out answers to that and other questions (longer school days, anyone?) as schools step further into the post "Act 10" world in which they have far more freedom to set workplace rules, including pay and assignments of teachers.
A key is new and better evaluation systems for teachers. A lot of work is being done on that and pilot projects around the state are going to unfold in coming months. I'm going to be really interested to see how this goes.
Milwaukee succeeds, I hope.
Civic leaders, spurred by the Greater Milwaukee Foundation, have come together to deal with issues critical to educational success, such as better early childhood experiences for kids. Milwaukee Succeeds, as it is called, has been a quiet, serious, fairly united effort so far.
A strong, communitywide effort would be a big plus. But my guess is that even a lot of the people at the table want to see signs of action before the school year is out.
The future of the U.S. Department of Education.
For more than a decade, the goals and pace of educational change have been increasingly shaped by federal policy. My bet is that if President Barack Obama wins re-election, there won't be a gusher of new money. And if Mitt Romney is elected, the Education Department won't end up slashed to nothing, with school vouchers everywhere.
But the outcomes of the elections for president and Congress will have shaping effects on the ground here. This could become clear as soon as the end of 2012 if congressional leaders can't agree on spending plans, which could kick in a plan for large spending cuts.
I talked to people last week who were really upbeat about the new year. I talked to people who were alarmed about what they had seen already. My only firm prediction: There will be plenty of reasons to think both are correct.
That's school life in today's world.

New York State Food Safety Division Receives Award
The Food Safety & Inspection Division of the New York State Department of Agriculture and Markets was awarded the Elliot O. Grosvenor Food Safety Award at the 117th AFDO Annual Educational Conference.
Louisville, Ky, (PRWEB) July 02, 2013
The Food Safety & Inspection Division of the New York State Department of Agriculture and Markets was awarded the Elliot O. Grosvenor Food Safety Award at the 117th AFDO Annual Educational Conference.
The award recognizes outstanding achievement by a food safety program within state departments of agriculture, natural resources, public health, or environmental health in the United States or Canada. It was established in 2010 to honor leaders who best showcase improvement, innovation, or sustained high performance within a food safety program.
Director Stephen D. Stich and Angela Montalbano accepted the award on behalf of their division.
Since passage of the federal Bio-Terrorism Act of 2002, the New York State Department of Agriculture and Markets (NYSDAM) has responded proactively to the influx of imported foods that are in violation of federal standards, creating a Bio-Terrorism Imported Food Surveillance Program that trains bio-terrorism food inspectors to conduct imported food surveillance and investigations.
While the surveillance program was in progress the NYSDAM Food Safety Division, and U.S. Food and Drug Administration NY District, took a proactive approach to developing an Integrated Food Safety System. The two agencies teamed up and formed a cooperative federal-state approach for monitoring imported foods. As a result of the positive outcomes, NYSDAM has continued to monitor and conduct imported food investigations with local, state and federal partners.
About AFDO
The Association of Food and Drug Officials (AFDO), established in 1896, successfully fosters uniformity in the adoption and enforcement of science-based laws, rules and regulations regarding food, drugs, medical devices, cosmetics and product safety by either drafting regulatory rules or commenting on government proposals. By developing a broad base of support for new approaches, AFDO has become a recognized voice in determining the rules and shape of the regulatory playing field of the future. The consensus that AFDO develops is key to advancing uniform laws, regulations, and guidelines that result in more efficient regulation and less confusion among industry in the marketplace. AFDO develops support for its positions by interfacing with high-level regulatory officials, industry representatives, trade associations, and consumer organizations. This effort continues to have a significant impact on regulations at the federal, state and local level. For more information, visit http://www.afdo.org. Inquiries about AFDO can be directed to AFDO Executive Director Joseph Corby.

Harper Offers Canadian Families Tax Cuts in Bid to Win Majority
March 29 (Bloomberg) -- Prime Minister Stephen Harper targeted his first campaign pledge at Canadian families with children, as he seeks to boost support in a bid to form a majority government.
Harper said yesterday his Conservative Party would let families with children under 18 split up to C$50,000 ($51,250) of their income for tax purposes, which would lower the combined burden for 1.8 million families in a country of 34 million people.
Harper won Canada's last two elections after promising tax reductions aimed at families, including tax credits tied to the cost of public-transit passes and children's sports fees, rather than broad-based reductions in income tax rates favored by previous governments. In the budget that opposition parties rejected last week, which preceded the government's defeat, the Conservatives announced tax credits for children's arts programs.
"Harper tends to pick the policies that have a clear and obvious benefit," Jonathan Malloy, associate professor of political science at Carleton University in Ottawa, said in a telephone interview. Allowing couples to split income "could certainly swing some votes, particularly in key suburban areas" and among women, he said.
The Conservatives won 38 percent of the vote in 2008 elections, which gave them 143 seats in the 308-member House of Commons.
After Deficit Eliminated
Income splitting wouldn't take effect until after the country eliminates its budget deficit, expected by 2015. The measure would cost about C$2.5 billion in foregone revenue a year, Harper said.
"Since coming to office in 2006, our government has placed lower taxes on families among its highest priorities," Harper said in the backyard of a suburban house near Victoria, British Columbia. He mentioned other initiatives his party has taken, including a monthly C$100 benefit for all children under the age of six, and a C$2,000 tax credit for each child younger than 18 years of age. They also cut the rate of the federal value-added tax, the Goods and Service Tax, from seven percent to five percent.
Liberal leader Michael Ignatieff told reporters the promise can't be counted on because it wouldn't occur for five years, adding that the Conservatives are planning to continue tax relief for companies next year.
"It's like he's saying to middle-class families: 'Take a number,'" Ignatieff said yesterday in Toronto. "That's the policies that you get if you put banks, insurance companies and oil companies first and leave Canadian families at the back of the line." He did not say whether the Liberals would adopt a similar policy.
'Cynical Move'
New Democratic Party Leader Jack Layton yesterday said the delay in the tax measure wouldn't help families dealing with rising bills today.
"This is exactly the sort of cynical move Stephen Harper used to denounce," Layton said in a statement.
Opposition parties joined together March 25 to topple Harper's government by passing a no-confidence motion. They rejected Finance Minister Jim Flaherty's budget last week and said Harper's government was in "contempt" of Parliament by withholding the cost of some of its legislation, including plans to buy new fighter jets and build prisons. Harper said the election was unnecessary.
Flaherty presented a fiscal plan last week that forecast the government may eliminate the deficit as early as 2014 if it manages to generate savings from a review of program spending that begins this year. The review will aim to save at least C$4 billion annually, according to the March 22 budget document.
'Wasteful Spending'
Ignatieff said yesterday a Liberal government would halt Harper's "wasteful" spending on new fighter jets and prisons that will squeeze out money needed in the future to pay for programs such as health care. He said he will present a platform in the next week that will be paid for in part by rolling back past corporate tax cuts.
"We have a great contrast to make between the fiscal responsibility which has been the brand of the Liberal Party, and the wastefulness of the Conservative government," Ignatieff said.
Today, Ignatieff will be in Oakville, Ontario, about 25 miles southwest of Toronto, then fly to British Columbia. Harper will begin campaigning in Regina, Saskatchewan.
