The dietary regimen known as the Paleolithic diet (abbreviated paleo diet or paleodiet), also popularly called the caveman diet, Stone Age diet and hunter-gatherer diet, is a modern nutritional approach which seeks to mimic the ancient diet of wild plants and animals that various human (Homo) species habitually consumed during the Paleolithic, a period of about 2.5 million years duration that ended around 10,000 years ago with the development of agriculture—this ancestral diet is also commonly referred to as the "Paleolithic diet". Based upon commonly available modern foods, the "contemporary" Paleolithic diet consists mainly of: lean meat, fish, vegetables, fruit, roots, and nuts; and excludes: grains, legumes, dairy products, salt, refined sugar, and processed oils.
First popularized in the mid 1970s by a gastroenterologist named Walter L. Voegtlin, this nutritional concept has been expounded and adapted by a number of authors and researchers in several books and academic journals. Building upon the principles of evolutionary medicine, it is based on the premise that modern humans are genetically adapted to the diet of their Paleolithic ancestors and that human genetics have scarcely changed since the dawn of agriculture, and therefore that an ideal diet for human health and well-being is one that resembles this ancestral diet.
This dietary approach is a controversial topic amongst nutritionists and anthropologists. Advocates argue that modern human populations subsisting on traditional diets similar to those of Paleolithic hunter-gatherers are largely free of diseases of affluence, and that such diets produce beneficial health outcomes in controlled medical studies. Supporters point to several potentially therapeutic nutritional characteristics of preagricultural diets. Critics of this nutritional approach have taken issue with its underlying evolutionary logic, and have disputed certain dietary prescriptions on the grounds that they pose health risks and may not reflect the features of ancient Paleolithic diets. It has also been argued that such diets are not a realistic alternative for everyone.
Gastroenterologist Walter L. Voegtlin was one of the first to suggest that following a diet similar to that of the Paleolithic era would improve a person's health. In 1975, he published a book in which he argued that humans are carnivorous animals and that the ancestral Paleolithic diet was that of a carnivore—chiefly fats and protein, with only small amounts of carbohydrates. His dietary prescriptions were based on his own medical treatments of various digestive problems, namely colitis, Crohn's disease, irritable bowel syndrome and indigestion.
In 1985, Melvin Konner and S. Boyd Eaton, an associate clinical professor of radiology and an adjunct associate professor of anthropology at Emory University, published a key paper on Paleolithic nutrition in the New England Journal of Medicine, which allowed the dietary concept to gain mainstream medical recognition. Three years later, S. Boyd Eaton, Marjorie Shostak and Melvin Konner published a book about this nutritional approach, which was based on achieving the same proportions of nutrients (fat, protein, and carbohydrates, as well as vitamins and minerals) as were present in the diets of late Paleolithic people, not on excluding foods that were not available before the development of agriculture. As such, this nutritional approach included skimmed milk, whole-grain bread, brown rice, and potatoes prepared without fat, on the premise that such foods have the same nutritional properties as Paleolithic foods. In 1989, these authors published a second book on Paleolithic nutrition.
Since the end of the 1990s, a number of medical doctors and nutritionists have advocated a return to a so-called Paleolithic (preagricultural) diet. Proponents of this nutritional approach have published books and created websites to promote their dietary prescriptions. They have synthesized diets from commonly available modern foods that would emulate the nutritional characteristics of the ancient Paleolithic diet, some allowing specific foods that would have been unavailable to preagricultural peoples, such as certain processed oils and beverages.
The Paleolithic diet is a modern dietary regimen that seeks to mimic the diet of preagricultural hunter-gatherers, one that corresponds to what was available in any of the ecological niches of Paleolithic humans. Based upon commonly available modern foods, it includes cultivated plants and domesticated animal meat as an alternative to the wild sources of the original preagricultural diet. The ancestral human diet is inferred from historical and ethnographic studies of modern-day hunter-gatherers as well as archaeological finds and anthropological evidence.
The Paleolithic diet consists of foods that can be hunted and fished, such as meat, offal and seafood, and that can be gathered, such as eggs, insects, fruit, nuts, seeds, vegetables, mushrooms, herbs and spices. Practitioners are advised to eat only the leanest cuts of meat, free of food additives, preferably wild game meats and grass-fed beef since they contain relatively high levels of omega-3 fats compared with grain-produced domestic meats. Food groups that were rarely or never consumed by humans before the Neolithic (agricultural) revolution are excluded from the diet, mainly grains, legumes (e.g. peanuts), dairy products, salt, refined sugar and processed oils, although some advocates consider the use of oils with low omega-6/omega-3 ratios, such as olive oil and canola oil, to be healthy and advisable. Practitioners are permitted to drink mainly water, and some advocates recommend tea as a healthful drink, but alcoholic and fermented beverages are restricted from the diet. Furthermore, eating a wide variety of plant foods is recommended to avoid high intakes of potentially harmful bioactive substances, such as goitrogens, which are present in certain roots, vegetables and seeds. Unlike raw food diets, the Paleolithic diet does not limit the consumption of cooked foods. Cooking is widely accepted to have been practised by at least 250,000 years ago, in the early Middle Paleolithic.
According to certain proponents of the Paleolithic diet, practitioners should derive about 56–65% of their food energy from animal foods and 36–45% from plant foods. They recommend a diet high in protein (19–35% energy) and relatively low in carbohydrates (22–40% energy), with a fat intake (28–58% energy) similar to or higher than that found in Western diets. Furthermore, some proponents exclude from the diet foods which exhibit high glycemic indices, such as potatoes. Staffan Lindeberg, an associate professor in the Department of Medicine at the University of Lund, advocates a Paleolithic diet, but does not recommend any particular proportions of plants versus meat or macronutrient ratios. According to Lindeberg, calcium supplementation may be considered when the intake of green leafy vegetables and other dietary sources of calcium is limited.
According to S. Boyd Eaton, "we are the heirs of inherited characteristics accrued over millions of years; the vast majority of our biochemistry and physiology are tuned to life conditions that existed prior to the advent of agriculture some 10,000 years ago. Genetically our bodies are virtually the same as they were at the end of the Paleolithic Era some 20,000 years ago."
Paleolithic nutrition has its roots in evolutionary biology and rests on the principles of evolutionary medicine. The reasoning underlying this nutritional approach is that natural selection had sufficient time to genetically adapt the metabolism and physiology of Paleolithic humans to the varying dietary conditions of that era. But in the 10,000 years since the invention of agriculture and its consequent major change in the human diet, natural selection has had too little time to make the optimal genetic adaptations to the new diet. Physiological and metabolic maladaptations result from the suboptimal genetic adaptations to the contemporary human diet, which in turn contribute to many of the so-called diseases of civilization.
Loren Cordain, a professor in the Department of Health and Exercise Science at Colorado State University, argues that "today more than 70% of our dietary calories come from foods that our Paleolithic (Stone Age) ancestors rarely, if ever, ate. The result is epidemic levels of cardiovascular disease, cancer, diabetes, osteoporosis, arthritis, gastrointestinal disease, acne, and more." According to Staffan Lindeberg, the Paleolithic diet, basically meat, fish, vegetables, fruit and nuts, prevents heart disease, stroke and some forms of cancers and it has a beneficial effect on overweight, digestive problems and more; it may have benefits even compared with prudent diets based on whole-grain cereals and low-fat milk.
Based on the subsistence patterns and biomarkers of hunter-gatherers studied in the last century, advocates argue that modern humans are well adapted to the diet of their Paleolithic ancestor. The diet of modern hunter-gatherer groups is believed to be representative of patterns for humans of 50 to 25 thousand years ago, and individuals from these and other technologically primitive societies, including those individuals who reach the age of 60 or beyond, seem to be largely free of the signs and symptoms of chronic disease (such as obesity, high blood pressure, nonobstructive coronary atherosclerosis, and insulin resistance) that universally afflict the elderly in western societies (with the exception of osteoarthritis, which afflicts both populations). Moreover, when these people adopt western diets, their health declines and they begin to exhibit signs and symptoms of "diseases of civilization". In one clinical study, stroke and ischaemic heart disease appeared to be absent in a population living on the island of Kitava, in Papua New Guinea, where a subsistence lifestyle, uninfluenced by western dietary habits, was still maintained.
The results of initial prospective medical studies on the Paleolithic diet have shown positive health outcomes. The first animal experiment on a Paleolithic diet suggested that this diet, as compared with a cereal-based diet, conferred higher insulin sensitivity, lower C-reactive protein and lower blood pressure in domestic pigs. In the first controlled human trial on a Paleolithic diet, researchers found that the diet improved glucose tolerance more than a Mediterranean diet in individuals with ischaemic heart disease. Subsequently, a short-term intervention with the diet in healthy volunteers showed some favourable effects on cardiovascular risk factors. Regarding this medical trial, the NHS Knowledge Service states that there are several limitations to the study and that "readers should not draw too many conclusions from it." At least three clinical trials are currently underway to test various physiological effects of the Paleolithic diet.
Since the end of the Paleolithic period, several foods that humans would have rarely or never consumed during previous stages of their evolution have been introduced as staples in their diet. With the advent of agriculture and the beginning of animal domestication roughly 10,000 years ago, during the Neolithic Revolution, humans started consuming large amounts of dairy products, beans, cereals, alcohol, salt and fatty domestic meats. In the late 18th and early 19th centuries C.E., the Industrial revolution led to the large scale development of mechanized food processing techniques and intensive livestock farming methods, that enabled the production of refined cereals, refined sugars and refined vegetable oils, as well fattier domestic meats, which have become major components of Western diets. Such food staples have fundamentally altered several key nutritional characteristics of the human diet since the Paleolithic Era, and these dietary compositional changes have been implicated as risk factors in the pathogenesis of many of the so-called "diseases of civilization" and other chronic illnesses that are widely prevalent in Western societies, including obesity, cardiovascular disease, diabetes, osteoporosis, autoimmune-related diseases, certain cancers, myopia and acne, as well as many diseases related to vitamin and mineral deficiencies.
According to Cordain et al., the food staples and food-processing procedures introduced during the Neolithic and Industrial Eras have fundamentally altered seven crucial nutritional characteristics of the ancestral human diet, which serve to inhibit the development of the diseases of affluence in modern-day hunter-gatherers, namely glycemic load, fatty acid composition, macronutrient composition, micronutrient density, acid-base balance, sodium-potassium ratio, and fiber content.
Furthermore, cereal grains, legumes and milk contain bioactive substances, such as gluten and casein, which have been implicated in the development of various health problems. Consumption of gluten, a component of certain grains, such as wheat, rye and barley, is known to have adverse health effects in individuals suffering from a range of gluten sensitivities, including coeliac disease. Since the Paleolithic diet is devoid of cereal grains, it is free of gluten. The paleodiet is also casein-free. Casein is a protein found in milk and dairy products, which may impair glucose tolerance in humans.
Compared to Paleolithic food groups, cereal grains and legumes contain relatively high amounts of antinutrients, including alkylresorcinols, alpha-amylase inhibitors, protease inhibitors, lectins and phytates, substances known to interfere with the body's absorption of many key nutrients. Molecular-mimicking proteins, which are basically made up of strings of amino acids that closely resemble those of another totally different protein, are also found in grains and legumes, as well as milk and dairy products. Advocates of the Paleolithic diet have argued that these components of agrarian diets promote vitamin and mineral deficiencies and may explain the development of the "diseases of civilization" as well as a number of autoimmune-related diseases.
The therapeutic merits of the Paleolithic diet have been debated in numerous journals and edited volumes, covering such fields as nutrition, anthropology and medicine, and in various languages, including Swedish, and German. The controversy has focused on a number of key issues, including comparative life expectancy, the etiology of the diseases of affluence and the evolutionary assumptions underlying the Paleolithic diet.
One of the most frequent criticisms of the Paleolithic diet is that it is unlikely that preagricultural hunter-gatherers suffered from the diseases of modern civilization simply because they did not live long enough to develop these illnesses, which are typically associated with old age. In response to this argument, advocates of the paleodiet state that while Paleolithic hunter-gatherers did have a short average life expectancy, modern human populations with lifestyles resembling that of our preagricultural ancestors have little or no diseases of affluence, despite sufficient numbers of elderly.
Critics further contend that food energy excess, rather than the consumption of specific novel foods, such as grains and dairy products, underlies the diseases of affluence. According to Geoffrey Cannon, science and health policy advisor to the World Cancer Research Fund, humans are designed to work physically hard to produce food for subsistence and to survive periods of acute food shortage, and are not adapted to a diet rich in energy-dense foods. Similarly, William R. Leonard, a professor of anthropology at Northwestern University, states that the health problems facing industrial societies stem not from deviations from a specific ancestral diet but from an imbalance between calories consumed and calories burned, a state of energy excess uncharacteristic of ancestral lifestyles.
The evolutionary assumptions underlying the Paleolithic diet have also been disputed. According to Alexander Ströhle, Maike Wolters and Andreas Hahn, with the Department of Food Science at the University of Hannover, the statement that the human genome evolved during the Pleistocene (a period from 1,808,000 to 11,550 years ago) is resting on an inadequate, but popular gene-centered view of evolution. They rely on Russell (2001) to argue that evolution of organisms cannot be reduced to the genetic level with reference to mutation and that there is no one to one relationship between genotype and phenotype.
They further question the notion that 10,000 years since the dawn of agriculture is a period not nearly sufficient to ensure an adequate adaptation to agrarian diets. Referring to Wilson (1994), Ströhle et al. argue that "the number of generations that a species existed in the old environment was irrelevant, and that the response to the change of the environment of a species would depend on the hereditability of the traits, the intensity of selection and the number of generations that selection acts." They state that if the diet of Neolithic agriculturalists had been in discordance with their physiology, then this would have created a selection pressure for evolutionary change and modern humans, such as Europeans, whose ancestors have subsisted on agrarian diets for 400–500 generations should be somehow adequately adapted to it. In response to this argument, Wolfgang Kopp states that "we have to take into account that death from atherosclerosis and cardiovascular disease (CVD) occurs later during life, as a rule after the reproduction phase. Even a high mortality from CVD after the reproduction phase will create little selection pressure. Thus, it seems that a diet can be functional (it keeps us going) and dysfunctional (it causes health problems) at the same time." Moreover, S. Boyd Eaton and colleagues have indicated that "comparative genetic data provide compelling evidence against the contention that long exposure to agricultural and industrial circumstances has distanced us, genetically, from our Stone Age ancestors." According to Kopp, the implementation of high-glycemic and high-insulinogenic food, like refined cereals and sugars, into human nutrition only about 200 years, or 10 generations, ago, occurred too recently on an evolutionary time scale for the human genome to adjust.
Referencing Mahner et al. (2001) and Ströhle et al. (2006), Ströhle et al. state that "whatever is the fact, to think that a dietary factor is valuable (functional) to the organism only when there was 'genetical adaptation' and hence a new dietary factor is dysfunctional per se because there was no evolutionary adaptation to it, such a panselectionist misreading of biological evolution seems to be inspired by a naive adaptationistic view of life."
Katharine Milton, a professor of physical anthropology at the University of California, has also disputed the evolutionary logic upon which the Paleolithic diet is based. She questions the premise that the metabolism of modern humans must be genetically adapted to the dietary conditions of the Paleolithic. Relying on several of her previous publications, Milton states that "there is little evidence to suggest that human nutritional requirements or human digestive physiology were significantly affected by such diets at any point in human evolution."
The high protein and low-carbohydrate diet recommended by Loren Cordain and colleagues—i.e. about 56–65% of food energy coming from animal foods and 36–45% from plant foods, with 19–35% of energy derived from protein, 22–40% from carbohydrates and 28–58% from fat—based on the dietary patterns of worldwide modern-day hunter-gatherers has attracted a number of criticisms, including the following:
It has been argued that relative freedom from degenerative diseases was, and still is, characteristic of all hunter-gatherer societies irrespective of the macronutrient characteristics of their diets. Katharine Milton states that "hunter-gatherer societies, both recent and ancestral, displayed a wide variety of plant-animal subsistence ratios, illustrating the adaptability of human metabolism to a broad range of energy substrates. Because all hunter-gatherer societies are largely free of chronic degenerative disease, there seems little justification for advocating the therapeutic merits of one type of hunter-gatherer diet over another."
According to Marion Nestle, a professor in the Department of Nutrition and Food Studies at New York University, judging from research relating nutritional factors to chronic disease risks and to observations of exceptionally low chronic disease rates among people eating vegetarian, Mediterranean and Asian diets, it seems clear that plant-based diets are most associated with health and longevity.
Ströhle, Wolters and Hahn rely on Bjerregaard et al. (2003) to argue that hunters like the Inuit, who traditionally obtain most of their dietary energy from wild animals and therefore eat a low-carbohydrate diet, seem to have a high mortality from coronary heart disease, and they further indicate, based on previous observational studies, that many populations of horticulturists, pastoralists and simple agriculturists living today are ingesting a high-carbohydrate diet without having signs and symptoms of CHD.
Wolfgang Kopp states that "carbohydrate food, consumed by hunter-gatherers, is high in fiber and low-glycemic in effect, eliciting small amounts of insulin only. [...] Are high-carbohydrate diets atherogenic per se? Not if they have a low glycemic load. In this point, Stroehle et al. are right. However, it is the question, whether diets high in low-glycemic plant food (which is relatively high in indigestible fiber and relatively low in carbohydrate) should be labeled as "high-carbohydrate" diets." Kopp also says that it is very likely that diets with only a moderately increased glycemic load are atherogenic to some degree, referencing Coutinho et al. (1999) and Kopp (2006).
According to Erica Frank, professor of health care at the University of British Columbia, eating an animal also involves absorbing the toxins stored in its body fat. She quotes the EPA: "The average American intake is between 300 and 500 times the safe daily dose of dioxin." She argues that dioxin, which is stored in animal fat, is a cancer-causing substance and disrupts hormones and the immune system. "People would be in error if they think they're doing themselves a service by eating bison."
Critics have questionned the notion that preagricultural hunter-gatherers would have generally consumed a low-carbohydrate and high-protein diet. They argue that there is insufficient data to determine the average daily intake of animal and plant foods by Paleolithic humans, and stress the inherent variability of ancient and modern hunter-gatherer diets. According to Katharine Milton, "data from ethnographic studies of nineteenth and twentieth century hunter-gatherers, as well as historical accounts and the archeological record, suggest that ancestral hunter-gatherers enjoyed a rich variety of different diets. Thus estimates of nutrient proportions for "the Paleolithic diet" are hypothetical, at best." Echoing Milton's criticism, Ströhle et al. rely on Lindeberg (2005), Jenike (2001) and Conklin-Brittain et al. (2002). to argue that it is questionable if all hunter-gatherers living between 150,000 and 10,000 years ago in different geographical regions ate a low-carbohydrate diet. Based on Marlowe (2005), Ströhle et al. (2006) and Jenike (2001), they indicate that, because the plant–animal subsistence ratios of contemporary hunter-gatherers vary in a remarkable manner (0–90% food from gathering; 10–100% food from hunting and fishing), it is likely that the macronutrient intake of preagricultural humans varied enormously.
Skeptics, such as Sara Elton and Ströhle et al., have also drawn attention to anthropological research indicating that preagricultural hunter-gatherers may have consumed large quantities of carbohydrates in general. This includes hypotheses which suggest that carbohydrate tubers (plant underground storage organs) were eaten in high amounts by preagricultural humans, and models of the subsistence strategies of early hunter-gatherers that emphasize the limited role of meat as an energy source in ancestral forager diets. According to Staffan Lindeberg, an advocate of the Paleolithic diet, a plant-based diet rich in carbohydrates is consistent with the evolutionary past of humans.
The Paleolithic diet has been criticized on the grounds that it cannot be implemented on a worldwide scale. According to Loren Cordain, if such a diet was widely adopted, it would compromise the food security of populations dependent on cereal grains for their subsistence. However, he says that where cereals are not a necessity, as in most western countries, reverting to a grain-free diet can be highly practical in terms of cutting long-term healthcare costs. Barry Bogin, a professor of anthropology at the University of Michigan, states that less intensive farming techniques, such as pasture-grazed cattle, will not produce sufficient meat to feed the world's population. On another level, critics have argued that exclusion diets such as the Stone Age diet "can be highly restrictive, socially disruptive, and expensive."

SAVANNAH, Ga. (AP) -- More suspects have been charged in connection with what federal prosecutors say was a sex trafficking ring that forced women into prostitution and traded them like slaves between cities in Georgia, Florida and the Carolinas.
An indictment filed Thursday in U.S. District Court in Savannah added 13 new defendants to the case, which prosecutors said included some men who paid for sex. A total of 25 suspects have been charged since January.
Prosecutors say since 2008 a network of pimps lured dozens of women to the U.S. from Mexico and Central America and forced them into prostitution. They say some women were forced to have sex up to 30 times a day.
The new indictment says some women worked as prostitutes because pimps threatened to harm their children in Mexico.

$10 for up to 5 people; Members free
Event Navigation
The prairie comes to life at night with solar-powered LED and fiber optics as the grass and prairie flowers blow sweetly in the breeze. The display begins with luminaries on the mounds and ends with the magnificent Signature Tree all aglow.
What is solar power? Utilization of panel absorbs the suns rays and converts it into an energy that can be stored in a battery. Then the battery energize the lights.
What are LEDs? This highly "green" and energy efficient form of lighting is caused by the movement of electrons in a semiconductor material (i.e. silicon) verses the filament-style light bulb (i.e. traditional lamp bulbs). LED lights have a life span of five years or more and consume approximately 80% less electricity than traditional incandescent lights.
*Note: Because this is a solar-powered display, the lights don't come on until after the sun goes down. Start time will vary by a few minutes each evening. Sunset will occur from approximately 4:15 pm to 4:25 pm over the duration of the event.

Type 1 Diabetes: An Overview
Type 1 Diabetes Symptoms
Warning symptoms of type 1 diabetes can be mistaken for the flu at first. They can include frequent urination, drinking more than usual, losing weight despite having a healthy appetite, or feeling tired all the time.
Type 1 Diabetes Diagnosis
To make an accurate diagnosis of type 1 diabetes, doctors use one or more tests to measure the levels of sugar in the blood and determine what type of diabetes is present. Some of these tests are also able to diagnose prediabetes, when blood sugar is elevated but has not become full-blown diabetes.
Type 1 Diabetes Treatment
Because the normal production of insulin is disrupted in type 1 diabetes, people with this disorder must take manufactured insulin every day to keep blood sugar levels regulated. There are different types of insulin that work at different speeds, and your particular insulin regimen will probably change throughout your life.
Living With Type 1 Diabetes
Diabetes is a lifelong disease and requires careful management. Keeping to your treatment regimen and and keeping a close eye on blood sugar levels can help people with type 1 diabetes live long, healthy lives.
Caregiving for Type 1 Diabetes
Because type 1 diabetes is usually first diagnosed at a young age, parents must shoulder the responsibility for proper diabetes care. Elderly people with type 1 diabetes may also need special attention from caregivers.
Type 1 Diabetes Complications
Common complications of type 1 diabetes include heart disease, stroke, kidney disease, vision problems, and nerve damage. But many of these can be avoided by knowing the risks and dangers and sticking to your treatment plan.
Type 1 Diabetes Related Conditions
Living with type 1 diabetes comes with some unique emotional and physical challenges. People with this condition are more likely to experience depression and stress, as well as issues with sexual functioning.

Merrimack's soon to be Gaming Club
Hunter Ripsom-Gardiner is a sophomore Honors Mechanical Engineering major here at Merrimack College. As a high school student, Hunter was part of a card club that would meet weekly, and when he arrived at Merrimack, he was looking for a similar experience and was unable to find one. With the aid of the club's Advisor, Professor Christopher Stuetzle, the Merrimack Gaming Club has come into existence. The group gets together every Friday from 3-6pm in Mendel 210 with around 12 regularly attending members. Every week the club plays different games in various genres. The meeting begins with a discussion about a particular gaming mechanic or topic (such as gender roles in video games, deck building strategies, or resource management in games), and then members break into groups to play. Games they play include Magic: The Gathering, League of Legends, various role playing systems, 7 Wonders, Android:Netrunner, Core Worlds, and many more card, board, and video games. The Merrimack Gaming Club is in the process of writing a constitution and determining their executive board members and are looking forward to hopefully becoming an official SGA sponsored club in the near future.
If you are interested in joining the Gaming Club or finding out more about it please e-mail: firstname.lastname@example.com, visit the Google Group's web page, or stop by Mendel 210 on a Friday at 3pm.

It was quite a bad infection after all, so she'll have to take antibiotics for the next week or so. She's still quite woozy from the anesthetic and also a bit scared and worked up. We have to keep her inside the bathroom because she'd fall down the stairs otherwise. Can't keep her in my room because she'd disappear under the bed and would get stuck... but we'll hopefully be able to take away that cone on Monday.
In the meantime I'm just checking up on her every now and then.
You're right Tony, it is probably a cat fight wound. They get loads of injured cats, especially this time of year. Usually male, but in our household, my cat's the one who fights off others. She's really a rowdy. Last year she had the tip of her ear bitten off.

Residence Hall Important Dates - Provides information regarding residence hall openings and closings, including break information, for the 2015-2016 academic year.
Students interested in reserving a campus space for the delivery of their storage pod should contact Lyn Hughes at email@example.com.
Residential Life
At Claremont McKenna College, we provide our students with a comfortable environment in which living and learning are possible. Here are some basic facts about residential life and housing at CMC:
- Approximately 95% of CMC students live on campus.
- There are thirteen residence halls (each housing 60-109 students) and one student apartment complex (which houses 142 students).
- There are no fraternities or sororities at CMC.
- Each residence hall and the student apartments have a Resident Assistant, trained by the Dean of Students Office.
- New students are normally assigned to double rooms in the residence halls with a roommate. In subsequent years, students select their own housing.
- There are no "freshman dorms" at CMC. All our residence halls are composed of students from various class years.
- There are basically three different floor plans in the residence halls: rooms clustered into suites, rooms off a central corridor, or 8-story towers.
- Nine residence halls and the student apartments are air-conditioned.
- Recreational equipment, study lounges, laundry facilities, and vending machines are available in the residence halls.
One key to understanding residential life and housing at CMC is to remember that the campus is relatively small. Walking from Wohlford Hall to Auen Hall (the two residence halls farthest from each other) usually takes no more than three minutes. Collins Dining hall is centrally located on campus, making it conveniently located for all residence halls. Each room is equipped with an ethernet connection and WiFi. Both are provided free of charge. After the first year at CMC, it is possible to live at another Claremont College through an exchange program. A few students take advantage of this each year, and it provides an opportunity to experience a different living environment while continuing to be a CMC student. If you are interested in this option, see the Director of Residential Life in Heggblade Center.
Residential Life and Housing at CMC is supervised by Eric Vos. The Resident Assistants oversee the daily life of each community. Facilities and Campus Services at Story House is responsible for repairs, housekeeping, keys, and card access.

Rated 4.7 out of 5Â by 3 reviewers.
Rated 5 out of 5Â by Jessica_C Very cute Bought this in a size 2 which fits me exactly like the one the model is wearing even though I usually wear size 0, so I'd say it runs a little tight. The neon flowers are more vibrant in person, almost as if they have a hint of neon green mixed in (the FP me photos portray this well). The top portion is kind of see through which limits my bra option not only to white/skin color but to a pretty low cut one too because of the deep V neck. Lastly, I'm pretty happy with the quality, of course there are a couple loose threads here and there, but the amount of detail is amazing! 6.27.2013
Rated 4 out of 5Â by FPKara Great Airy, Spring Dress Two months after this dress made its debut, I was finally able to purchase one via the FP website (it was sold out immediately online and was nowhere to be seen in any store). I usually wear a medium in dresses but sized up to an 8 based on the given measurements for a 6 and to make sure there was enough room in the waistline. Pluses: beautiful embroidery, perfect dress for Spring. Negatives: took a while to order, but shipped immediately after I was able to purchase it, the embroidery is not actually yellow but more of a neon green/yellow, and the dress runs a little small, especially in the waist/bust (this could be because I am so used to wearing loose, flowy dresses from FP as opposed to a more fitted dress, but I am only a 34 B so I'm not sure why it is so tight in the bust). While this dress is on the pricey side, I get a lot of use out of my FP dresses and plan to wear this to many occasions (Mother's day, graduations, church, etc). Overall, I am happy with the purchase! 4.24.2013
Rated 5 out of 5Â by katierose so beautiful! after seeing this dress in the february catalogue and in the roshambo video i fell in love!! i was a bit hesitant to buy because the dress was a little pricey but im so glad i did because its just as stunning in person and fantastic quality! the colours are super vibrant and the fabric is gorgeous!! im 5'11 and about 65 kilos and got size 4 which fits PERFECTLY! i cant wait to wear it! if you are sitting on the fence on whether to purchase, i highly recommend you do, you wont be disappointed!! 3.16.2013

Hi Stuart, A lot of comment is made about our No 10's. Do our current 9's have the service to give them that little bit of extra time? I think back to Andy Gomersall's quick hands, I like the service of Worcester's Johnny Arr and Gloucester's inexperienced Dan Robson.

after watching3 games this weekend, do you feel like i do that the standard of officiating at the top tier of rugby is shabby to say the least. 2 penalty tries in 1 game one of which should have gone the other way and 1 serious tip tackle not seen and 1 legitimate tackle rewarded with a bemused sin-binning. I have to say im getting a little bit fed up with it all spoiling our great game.

Derek Wilcox says...
stuart as you as a former player, seem to talk down Bath's performance every time they're featured. yes they desrve criticism, yet Abendanon's 25 sec. try was merely passed over and yet Wade's try was reported as one of the best tries ever seen! To be fair to you, your fellow conspirator Harrison is even worse. He might have a commentary background, but his his knowledge and analysis of the great game is deserving of comment.

|OSU Cross Country Course / Cowboy Jamboree
The Oklahoma State Cross Country Course is the home of the oldest cross country race in the country, the Cowboy Jamboree, which dates back to 1937. Since its inception, the course has offered the over 6,000 runners the chance to run on one of the greatest cross country courses in the country. Every year an outstanding field competes in the Jamboree, with teams traveling from around the country to test their skills on this historic course.
In the beginning, the course was only two miles in length but has now grown into an 8k trek. The course is a 5k loop that is run twice for major championship races. One of those is the Midwest Regional Championship, which was held on the Jamboree course in 1996, 2003 and most recently in 2008. The course also hosted the Big 12 Cross Country Championships in 2010.
The course itself is grass, with wood chips making for a soft surface for the OSU harriers to train on year round. The rolling hills give it an added element that makes the course perfect for training in many different scenarios. The course also has something that many cross country courses do not have in this day and age — steps located in three positions on the course. Each set is three steps, which gives the course the feeling of a typical European cross country course. The many features of the OSU Cross Country Course help runners experience a course that is challenging and unique at the same time. The location is one of the best possible as it is only a half mile from the track and cross country locker rooms, which allows easy access to a great running experience and also optimal conditions for workouts.
Another characteristic which sets the OSU course apart from any other in the country is the fact that it is one of the few courses actually located on a college campus. This provides a great opportunity for not only the team members to utilize the course, but also for the other students and faculty of this great university to have easy access.
The Cowboy Jamboree has grown to the point where it is now one of the largest non-championship races held in the country with hundreds of teams and thousands of participants. Over 80 college and university teams competed at the Jamboree in 2010, and with the traditions that have been passed down over the years the Cowboy Jamboree will continue to be one of the best and longest running cross country meets in the country. One of the main goals of Oklahoma State University and the cross country coaching staff is to continue the experience that so many runners, coaches and spectators have experienced for decades and to continue those traditions for many more years to come.

The Bright Young Things Series
The year is 1929, when Letty Larkspur and Cordelia Grey escape their small Midwestern town for New York's glittering metropolis. Letty vows to be a Broadway star, and Cordelia hopes to find her bootlegger father--but the world they encounter is more thrilling and glamorous than they ever could have imagined in this first book of the Bright Young Things series.
Small-town-girls no more, Cordelia and Letty spend their days at the lush long island estate of Cordelia's notorious father, and their nights at Manhattan speakeasies.

As the dizzying last summer of the Jazz Age reaches its peak, Cordelia, Letty, and Astrid will find out if their luck can last or if dark surprises are on the horizon. This unforgettable conclusion to bestselling author Anna Godbersen's Bright Young Things series roars with glamor, romance and adventure.

Student Feedback
We listen to your feedback and make improvements to the student experience based upon survey results about your Excelsior College experience across a variety of topics.
Wondering why you were not contacted for one of these surveys?
We know that our students are busy, so we have an institutional policy limiting the amount of times any member of the Excelsior community can be contacted to participate in a research project. That's why it's so important that you participate when you receive a request for feedback.
Let your voice be heard. Watch your email for upcoming opportunities to tell us what you think.
Improvements Based Upon Student Survey Feedback
- Several new scholarships were added to assist with degree financial support
- Post-service surveys for technical support have been added to improve customer service
- Library has added video tutorials to the website for specific services that are offered
- E-text options offered for more courses
- More personalized content available on Financial Aid website
- School of Nursing has added videos providing more in-depth information about how students earn credit and move toward program completion

Survey Topics
Here are some of our regular surveys that ask students for their feedback on the Excelsior College experience:
Service Quality Assessment (SQA) evaluates students' expectations of service quality and gives students the opportunity to tell us how well Excelsior departments are providing critical service to the student population.
Beginning Student Survey (BSS) provides insight into preparation for students entering Excelsior College degree programs to ensure that student needs are identified and supported.
First Year Student Survey (FYSS) asks students to reflect upon their experience at Excelsior College after they have completed nine months of study to address issues of student satisfaction.
Priorities Survey for Online Learners (PSOL) is a survey designed to evaluate what students believe is important about their education experience as well as how satisfied they are with their experiences.
National Survey of Student Engagement (NSSE) addresses students' perceptions of the college environment with reference to their educational and personal growth, satisfaction, and achievement.
Course Evaluation Surveys are distributed each term and are used to monitor the quality of courses, faculty, and programs.
Exit and Alumni Surveys invite graduates to share their thoughts regarding how well the college prepared them for employment and continuing education.
We also contact students to participate in research in specialized areas, such as providing feedback on academic advising, the registrar's office, and the library.
Don't let other students be your voice. Tell us what YOU think when you receive a survey!

Policy Limiting Survey Contact
Criteria Relating to Research Involving Excelsior College Enrolled or Prospective Students, Faculty, Staff or Alumni
To minimize survey fatigue and the oversampling of prospective students, enrolled students, staff, faculty and alumni, and optimize the value of survey activities, the College has established a policy limiting the number of times annually that a student, staff member, faculty member, or alumnus may be included as a subject in a research study. Members of these groups may not be selected as a research subject more than four times during any 12 month period.
During the IRB review of research proposals involving prospective students, enrolled students, staff, faculty and alumni, consideration will be given to methods proposed by the researcher to minimize oversampling. In general, research involving members of these groups should use sampling methods rather than selecting entire populations as research subjects.
Exemptions to the Oversampling Restriction
Research studies exempted from the oversampling restriction include course evaluations, workshop evaluations, examination surveys, service quality surveys issued by Institutional Effectiveness and the Office of Information and Technology Services, surveys required to meet institutional or program accreditation expectations, surveys conducted by Excelsior College staff or faculty on individuals not affiliated with the College unless a review is requested by the researcher, and others deemed essential by the provost and chief academic officer.
Contact Strategy and Institutional Effectiveness
Let us know if you:
- Have an issue or concern that you would like our Executive Committee to review for possible inclusion on an upcoming student survey
- Would like to know how the results of a specific survey are used and how you can find out about improvements based upon student feedback
- Have any questions about anonymity or confidentiality
- Have any general questions regarding one of our surveys or our research process

By STEVEN NALLEY
firstname.lastname@example.com [2]
An appeal to rezone 12.45 acres of property west of the Maison de Ville subdivision for a high-density residential community failed Tuesday during the Starkville Board of Aldermen meeting.
The board actually voted 4-3 in favor of the zoning change from C-2 (general business) to R-5 (multi-family, high-density residential) for Georgian Square, a gated, upscale community with structures each containing three to eight dwelling units for Mississippi State University students. However, City Attorney Chris Latimer said the rezoning request required a super-majority of five votes under Mississippi code, and as a result, it still failed.
"If 20 percent or more of the property owners within 160 feet of the area that's being proposed for rezoning object by signing, that triggers a three-fifths voting requirement," Latimer said. "The action would have to be approved by three-fifths of the aldermen."
In this case, City Planner Ben Griffith said 10 of 15 property owners within 160 feet of the area had objected. On May 8, the planning and zoning commission voted 4-1 against the rezoning request in response to strong objection from Maison de Ville residents.
"Several letters and emails from area property owners opposed to the zoning request were presented to the zoning commission and are included with your packets," Griffith said. "Provided at the mayor and aldermen's seats this evening are additional letters the planning office received after the board packets were prepared on Friday."
The appellant, Parkway Development Inc. President Richard Ambrosino, said he was not aiming Georgian Square exclusively at MSU students. He said the project would also offer affordable living space for young adults in their late 20s and early 30s who cannot afford houses. At the May 8 zoning meeting, some residents expressed fears that such a large rezoning would provide legal precedent for other rezonings in the vicinity, and Ambrosino said those fears were unjustified.
"We're not saying all the land owned by the Josey family needs to be changed from C-2 to R-5," Ambrosino said. "We're not saying (the area would become all student housing or residential units)."
Ambrosino said he was also trying to provide the same kind of student housing he would want his own children to have.
"I've already went through this with my children," Ambrosino said. "We nurtured them ... (and) made the decision ... they would live where they would be safe."
Several residents of Maison de Ville attended the meeting to raise objections, some returning after a previous appearance at the May 8 meeting. One returning objector was Craig Adams, who said he was concerned not only about the development's potential impact on his property at Maison de Ville but also its impact on Flexsteel Industries, where he is a manager. Adams said he has to move materials across Industrial Park Road several times a day, and growing traffic flow has made this movement increasingly difficult.
"It's hard to get an automobile out on Industrial Park Road, much less a tractor trailer," Adams said. "I have concerns that, inevitably, this development will add more traffic flow."
In his rebuttal, Ambrosino said Lynn Lane, perpendicular to Industrial Park Road, was originally designed as a boulevard. Other objectors said high-density student housing complexes belonged further away from the center of town, and Ambrosino said these objectors needed to be more sensitive to the hardship this mode of thinking causes for college students.
"They are you people, just a little bit younger," Ambrosino said. "Think back on your youth."
Ward 2 Alderman Sandra Sistrunk said she saw both sides of the issue. As someone who has rented property in the past, she said, she believes location is critical for attracting potential renters.
"I've thought long and hard about this," Sistrunk said. "Ultimately, what we have to decide tonight is whether the rezoning is appropriate. That would hinge on whether there's been a change in the character of the neighborhood and whether there is a public need (for the type of development Ambrosino proposes)."
Sistrunk ultimately voted in favor of the rezoning, together with Aldermen Jeremiah Dumas, Roy A. Perkins and Henry N. Vaughn. The other aldermen voted against the measure, preventing its passage.

Frankfurt am Main, the city at the heart of Europe, is an attractive mix of contradictions, offering the traditional and the modern, business and culture, the big-city bustle and peace and quiet.
The choice of conference and event facilities on offer in Frankfurt am Main is as diverse as the city itself: in addition to conventional meeting rooms and historical buildings, there's also a variety of more contemporary event locations. A successful blend of both can be found at the famous Alte Oper, whose prestige exterior is complemented by modern facilities inside. You're sure to find the appropriate setting for every kind of event, whether it's at the historical Römer town hall, the new university campus in the Westend district with its state-of-the-art conference facilities, the restored Palais Frankfurt on Hauptwache square, the renovated Carmelite abbey with its famous frescos and, of course, at the many conference hotels.
The most famous of the venues in Frankfurt is the Messe exhibition centre, one of the largest exhibition sites in the world that also includes the Congress Center, Forum and Festhalle.
The fact that Frankfurt is a popular destination for the international events industry speaks for itself. The IMEX trade fair, for example, attracts congress planners from all over the world.
There are also a number of venues and options for supporting programmes on offer in the region around Frankfurt. From the city, it's just a short hop to the wineries of the Rheingau, the spa town of Wiesbaden, Darmstadt – the city of science, and Hanau – the birthplace of the Brothers Grimm.

For years automotive aftermarket companies have been engineeringperformance suspension kits for classic cars, and they show no signs ofslowing down any time soon. Most of the musclecar focus has been on themost popular models, such as first- and second-gen Camaros, Chevelles,Tri-Fives ('55-57 Chevys), and Mustangs. And it's no secret thesecompanies are making some serious bank--and rightfully so. The quality ofavailable product and technical advancements provide us with better thanstock suspension components in terms of functionality, performance,safety, and looks. It's a big win for the parts makers and the consumer.
Now that the most popular models of the classic car genre have productdeveloped for them, we're beginning to see some of the slightly lessdesirable models get their day in the sun within the aftermarket world.
Take, for example, '68-74 Novas--get 'em while you can. These arebecoming rare, and some consider them to be the last affordablemusclecar. In today's market a first-gen Camaro, especially '69s, andmost any Chevelle will take your wallet for a major hit, so a '68-74Nova might be the way to go if you want to get into some vintageAmerican muscle at a reasonable price. Recently, we've seen a number ofaftermarket companies introduce restoration and upgrade parts for this"classic." Suspension companies are getting in the groove, and HotchkisSport Suspension is right in the mix developing new high-performancesuspension upgrade packages.
John Hotchkis of Hotchkis Performance (www.hotchkis.net) recently introduced us to a fairly typical'72 Nova purchased by a young, ambitious high schooler who took hisdaily driver, added some performance upgrades, and did some weekend dragracing. The car has a few bolt-on mods like headers, intake manifold,carburetor, and some dated slapper bars. This thing was the absolutedefinition of old school.
Now that the owner has outgrown his drag phase and his driving palatehas somewhat matured, he wanted to take his quarter-miler and buildsomething with a little more functionality--a great street driver orweekend cruiser that could give new sports cars trouble on the twistybits of PCH if he so desired. That's more his style.
We here at Nova magazine are always up for some track day fun, so wetook the mainly stock "hot rod" out for some before and after tracktesting. We figured it would be a great way to show the performancedifference between a Nova with a stock, used-up suspension like the onemany of you readers drive and bolt on some quality engineered suspensioncomponents from Hotchkis Sport Suspension.
When building a car with performance suspension components, you'll stillwant the vehicle to be street-worthy. Oftentimes car guys tend tooverlook the driveability aspect of a suspension upgrade package. Sure,you can build a car that kicks ass at the track, but you'll want thatsame suspension to be accommodating in everyday driving situations aswell. That's where spring rates, suspension geometry, alignmentspecifications, and shock valving are so important. The pros at Hotchkistake pride in their performance suspension packages being both tracksteady and street ready.
For this suspension upgrade, we started with the Hotchkis TVS (Total Vehicle System) for '68-74 Novas. Thekit includes front and rear hollow sway bars (all hardware and dogboneend links included), 2-inch lowering front sport coil springs, 2-inchdrop rear sport leaf springs, tie rod sleeves, and all the necessarymounting hardware and spring pads. Since this car was going for thefull-tilt suspension upgrade, we added in upper and lower A-arms, tierods, steering, pitman arms, Hotchkis/Bilstein shocks, and Hotchkissubframe connectors for good measure. We also converted the car from theoriginal show-reacting manual steering to power steering with a steeringbox and accessories from Flaming River.
At The Track
Baseline Test
Our "before" and "after" suspension testing consists of slalom, skidpad,and braking. For slalom testing we use a 420-foot course consisting ofcones set 70 feet apart. Average speed is measured with timers placed atthe beginning and end of the course. The skidpad measures lateralg-forces by way of a 200-foot-diameter circle. Total time taken tocomplete the skidpad circumference is measured, and a mathematicalformula indicates the average lateral g-force capabilities of the car.
As you would guess, the classic Nova, sporting thirty-year-old stock suspension components, and tires designed for straight-line racing didn't fare very well in the "before" testing.

In celebration of the release of Christopher Moore's latest comical vampire book, "Bite Me," I ask if anyone is a fan of this American comic writer who specializes in extremely off-kilter, occult-ridden and literary parodies?
He is probably best known for his San Francisco-based comic vampire series, starting with "Bloodsucking Fiends" and continuing with "You Suck" and now "Bite Me," all about Gen-Y blood suckers and the humans who love and kill them.
But I think his best book is "Lamb," his speculative 'biography' of Jesus as told by Christ's best friend "Biff." I'm not Christian, but even with all the jokes the story presents a far more appealing and touching portrait of Jesus than the New Testament does.

Doing I have to stop eating dried fruit? I love dried pineapple, dried bananas, dried mango, etc. I guess I'm influenced by Dr. Robert Lustig, the guy who gave the "Bitter Truth" lecture about sugar, because Lustig would say dried fruit is a source of sugar.
In fact, Lustig would say a vegan diet works only because it cuts out the sugar. Likewise, he would say, fat is not an issue. Both very compelling speakers, feel torn between them.
Im not a dietitian but it seems to me that it depends.
Do you have a medical condition where it is important to watch the amount of sugar you have such as Diabetes?
Are you trying to loose weight?
If the answer is yes to one or both of these questions then it would be best to stop the dried fruit and to eat whole fruits (not dried). You get some natural frustose sugar but not in the concentrated amounts that happens with drying.
If the answer is no, then I wouldnt worry and eat what you enjoy.
Let food be thy medicine and medicine be thy food - Hippocrates.
I'd like to add that I would caution against dried fruit that is coated in sugar/sweetener and possibly chemicals/preservatives.
Susan Levin, MS, RDPCRM Director of Nutrition Education
How long have you been on a whole foods vegan diet?I would say that my cravings for dried fruit diminished after a few weeks, in the beginning I craved sugar and met that craving with fruit or dried fruit (still probably eating less sugar than if I had turned to a bar of chocolate). After I got used to the diet I felt satisfied without dried fruit, though I still use it sometimes in cooking.Fruit is associated with reduced cancer risk so if you're not sugar-sensitive, make sure you get a few servings each day, though fresh would be better if you need to lose weight.
I like dried fruit to take along as an occasional snack or add to homemade trail mix. Sometimes I'll add either raisins or dried blueberries on my oatmeal.
Last night to go with our supper I made a delicious fresh fruit salad. First I peeled and cut up some oranges, then cored and chopped some granny smith apples. That way the juice from the oranges kept the apples from oxidizing. Next I peeled and sliced a Kiwi, some seedless grapes, and some fresh strawberries. Bananas get too mushy too fast so I generally just put some slices on each individual portion as we're eating it. And this way I can keep the fruit salad to eat the next day if there's any leftover!
I wanted to know if some dry fruit is maybe less sweet or has less sugar than others?
I have a big sugar toothe, so I'm trying to have more dried fruit instead of the usual chocolates and biscuits that surely must be better, even though I know the dry fruit still has a lot of sugar...for example, would apricots be a better option than raisins or dried mango?
Also, I want to incorporate more fresh fruit especially if this is less sugar, however I'm worried about fruit causing a lot of bloat. Are there ways to have fresh fruit, minus the bloat?
You can cook fresh fruit to make it easier to digest. So slice and bake fresh fruit or stir it in something else you are cooking such as oatmeal.
This is a great idea - I have heard of people baking pears and apples, perhaps if I chopped it down to smaller pieces and used it as in salads, this might be easier on the digestion and not cause bloating?
Thanks again for this advice!
Yes, small pieces will certainly help too!

In this allegorical comedy-drama, a disparate group of people wait at a rundown Cuban transit station for the next bus to arrive. The problem is, it never shows up. While a number of busses pass by the station, and others that are either full or at the end of the line stop by, it soon becomes obvious that the bus everyone was waiting for has left them high and dry. While one of the would-be passengers, Emilio (Vladimir Cruz), uses his down time to win the affections of beautiful Jacqueline (Thaimi Alvarino), most of the rest decide that if they're stuck without anywhere to go, they might as well make the station a better place to wait, and they begin forming a plan to turn the decrepit bus terminal into a showplace that people would look forward to visiting. Lista De Espera was directed by Juan Carlos Tabio, in what was his first solo directorial credit in eight years -- after several noted collaborative efforts. The film was shown as part of the Un Certain Regard series at the 2000 Cannes Film Festival.~ Mark Deming, All Movie Guide

Remember to have your pressure canner gauge tested every year for accuracy - it takes only minutes to test and will ensure safe canning processes. Bring your Presto canner lid to the Extension Office for free testing - no appointment necessary. If you would like to be able to have the gauge tested right away and take it home with you, please call ahead of time. You can contact Darlene at 435-840-4404 or 435-277-2406. Also, make sure to process your jars for the accurate amount of time..
USDA Guide "Complete Guide to Home Canning"
Need a Good Salsa Recipe?
We are often asked for a tested and safe salsa recipe that actually tastes good and is not too "vinegarish!" Utah County's FCS agent, Jana Darrington, has several approved recipes that have been taste-tested over the past few years. These favorites are: Fiesta Salsa and Zesty Salsa in the Ball Blue Book. The newest edition of the Ball Blue Book is available in the Toeole County Extension Office for $6. The USDA Complete Guide to Canning is available for $10. We also have other salsa recipes as well as many other pamphlets and recipes for food preservation, nutrition, meal planning, etc. in our office. Stop in!
A new updated publication with a lot of different salsa recipes can be in Salsa Recipes for Canning found from Pacific Northwest Extension states.
Acidification for Tomatoes
To ensure safe acidity in whole, crushed, or juiced tomatoes, add two tablespoons of bottled lemon juice or ½ teaspoon of citric acid per quart of tomatoes. For pints, use one tablespoon bottled lemon juice or ¼ teaspoon citric acid. Acid should be added directly to the jars before filling with product. Add sugar to offset acid taste, if desired. Four tablespoons of a 5% acidity vinegar per quart may be used instead of lemon juice or citric acid. However, vinegar may cause undesirable flavor changes. We recommend lemon juice or citric acid.
Steam Canners
The USDA does not recommend the use of steam canners due to inadequate research and testing. However, Utah State University has tested the steam canners and has found them to be safe and adequate for processing certain foods if used according to instructions and safe canning procedures. Due to botulism poisoning potential, steamer canners may NOT be used for for meats, tomatoes, and vegetables. If you choose to use a steam canner for jams, jellies, or fruits, only USDA approved and tested recipes and canning times should be used. Processing times for boiling-water bath canners may be used for the steam canners. It is very important to follow instructions and be sure that an 8 to 10-inch plume of steam is present during the entire processing time, and the water must not run out before the end of processing.
Please call our office (435) 277-2401 with any canning questions or concerns (Monday - Friday 8:30am --4:30pm, except State and Federal Holidays). The websites below also provide up-to-date, researched and SAFE information on canning and food preservation.

Microsoft is having one of its biggest "Patch Tuesday" monthly security updates ever, issuing fixes for a whopping 57 flaws in Windows, Internet Explorer, Microsoft Office, and other products. And who does Microsoft have to thank for more than half of these reported problems? Google.
Google engineers often find and report security vulnerabilities in Microsoft products, but they outdid themselves this month. Mateusz "j00ru" Jurczyk, a self-described "Windows hacker" and security engineer at Google, is credited for reporting 32 issues with Windows which Microsoft deemed "important," or one step below "critical." A second Google security engineer, Gynvael Coldwind, collaborated on reporting five of those bugs.
Google engineers are regularly credited in security updates, but this month's count is unusually high. (Google engineers reported a bug a month in October, November, and December, and none in January.) The total number of bugs Microsoft fixed this month is close to the all-time record of 64.
Microsoft welcomes bug reports from outsiders, which is why it has appended an "acknowledgements" section to every security update since 2000. "When you see a security professional acknowledged in a Microsoft Security Bulletin, it means that they reported the vulnerability to us confidentially, worked with us to develop the patch, and helped us disseminate information about it once the threat was eliminated," the company says.

At McClymonds High School, from left to right: Romanalyn Inocencio, Breannie Robinson and Pamela Tapia. Photo by Alison Yin.
I mentioned a few months ago that I was working with photojournalist Alison Yin on a project about childhood asthma and its disproportionate impact on families in Oakland and elsewhere along the I-880/80 corridor. It's a project for The California Endowment Health Journalism Fellowships, a program of USC's Annenberg School of Journalism.
Now we have some help! I'm happy to announce the names of our three reporting interns, who will be producing stories and videos for the project with a grant from Annenberg: Pamela Tapia, a recent McClymonds graduate; and Pearl Joy Balagot and Henry Jean-Philippe, both from Fremont High.
Their adviser for the project will be Lisa Shafer (below, left), and I'm sure they'll get some support from Nadine Joseph, a writing coach who advises the McClymonds journalism club. Pearl and Henry are standing in the back, with their cameras, in the picture.
We met with them yesterday, along with some other McClymonds and Fremont high school students, who shared their stories about asthma and helped us brainstorm ways to reach students and families with the finished projects.
My favorite piece of advice came from Breannie Robinson, a no-nonsense Mack student-athlete (basketball star), who had asthma as a child.
After listening to us go back and forth about Twitter, Facebook, video screenings, newsletters and other ideas, she jumped in with this tip: "Make it interesting."
Well said!
If anyone has an idea for the interns — someone you know with a story to tell about asthma, or an issue you feel needs attention — please share it, either on the blog or to me, at firstname.lastname@example.com.
Congratulations, Pearl, Henry and Pamela. I can't wait to read (and watch) your work.
