Rabbi Irwin Groner, a former president of the Conservative movement's Rabbinical Assembly, has died.
Groner, who led Congregation Shaarey Zedek in Detroit for more than four decades, died Dec. 30 at a hospital in that city. He was 81 and suffered from Parkinson's disease.
He guided the Rabbinical Assembly, the international association of Conservative rabbis, from 1990 to 1992, calling it "the highlight of my professional career," according to an obituary in the Detroit Jewish News.
Groner was named the senior rabbi at Shaarey Zedek in 1967 -- a year after Rabbi Morris Adler was shot and killed by a young congregant. He had been the assistant rabbi since 1959.
The Conservative congregation named Groner rabbi for life in 1978 and emeritus rabbi in 2003.
"He was a true giant in the rabbinical world," said Rabbi Joseph Krakoff of Shaarey Zedek told the Detroit Jewish News. "He was an inspiring teacher, a magnificent preacher and a man who truly understood the depth of the human condition.
"Rabbi Groner approached every situation with a smile, a sense of humor and an acute sense of caring and concern."
Groner began his career in Little Rock, Ark., at Agudath Achim Congregation when anti-Semitism magnified by the civil rights movement threatened the synagogue and its rabbi. During efforts to desegregate the city's schools, Groner refused to cancel services due to bomb threats.
He served as a member of the board of governors for the Jewish Federation of Metropolitan Detroit, the Rabbinic Cabinet of the United Jewish Appeal and the Board of Governors of the United Synagogue. In 1984, Gov. James Blanchard appointed Groner the first clergyman to serve on Michigan's Judicial Tenure Commission, which settles grievances in the legal community. He also was active with area interfaith programs.
Groner was ordained at the Hebrew Theological College of Chicago, his native city. He graduated from the University of Chicago.

A pleural effusion is the buildup of fluid between the outer
lining of the lungs (visceral pleura) and the inner lining
(parietal pleura) of the chest cavity. This fluid buildup
has many causes, including infection, inflammation, heart failure,
pancreatitis, or cancer.
A minor pleural effusion may not cause
any symptoms. A large amount of fluid may prevent the complete
expansion of a lung, making it hard for the person to breathe. Possible
symptoms of a pleural effusion may include:
A doctor may diagnose a pleural
effusion during a physical exam and then confirm the diagnosis with a chest
Small pleural effusions often heal on their own. If
treatment is needed, it may involve removal of the fluid using a needle
inserted through the chest wall (thoracentesis). The fluid may be sent to a lab
to find out what is causing the fluid to build up.

With Halloween rapidly approaching, I've been thinking a lot about horror movies. I watch them year-around, because, well, that's just what I do. Yet every year around Halloween, I find myself attempting to cram all my free time with scary movies galore.
I do have a deep adoration for all things that go bump in the night. I was that little girl who wrote ghost stories and got weepy when the (Spoiler!) witches died in "Hocus Pocus." So let's just say my affection for frightening things, especially movies, started young.
Last night as I sat pondering my DVD/Blu-ray collection trying to figure out what to watch next, I began formulating a list of my favorites and I thought I'd share.
Monsters, men with knifes, haunted houses, there are too many to choose from. So first, let's break everything down into categories because there's no way I can give you a simple top five horror films. I'm far too long winded for that.
We might as well start with the classics. Universal Studios' success in creature features beginning in the 1920s was the birth of classic horror cinema. For my birthday this year, my boyfriend gave me the "Universal Classic Monsters: The Essential Collection" Blu-ray set. I was so excited I hugged it. It's a pretty perfect companion for Halloween.
3. "Creature from the Black Lagoon" (1954)
While not as well known as the other two, the Gill-Man from the 'Creature from the Black Lagoon' goes down in history as a classic movie monster. The original plot of the film sets it apart and it's yet to spawn a remake (I stress the yet). The movie made me wonder what was below me when swimming in anything but a pool when I was younger.
2. "Dracula" (1931)
My first love has always been vampires. While Bela Lugosi's portrayal of Count Dracula may not be my favorite, this is still a must see film for any fan of the genre. Dwight Frye's portrayal of Dracula's henchman R.M. Renfield is perfectly crazed and moderately creepy.
1. "Frankenstien" (1931)
There is no denying that Boris Karloff is the king of classic horror films. "Frankenstien" was the first of many to star the actor. While there have been a number of remakes of Mary Shelley's novel, the Universal imagery of Karloff as Frankenstien's monster is iconic.
Slasher films are hard to narrow down. The sub-genre could arguably have begun with Alfred Hitchcock's "Psycho" and is still going strong today. Many feel that slashers hit their prime in the 80s. The films are formulaic, something you'd know if you've ever seen the third film on this list, and tend to go hand in hand with teens gone wild.
3. Scream (1996)
The film gave way to a new generation of slasher flicks. It was also one of the first horror films I remember seeing in the theater (with parental supervision). If you ever want a crash course on how to survive a horror film, Jamie Kennedy's character Randy Meeks gives a fantastic run down of the rules in the movie. Spoiler! Of course, abiding by said rules doesn't keep him from getting "sliced and diced" in the sequel.
2. "Halloween" (1978, 2007)
I enjoy John Carpenter's original, but Rob Zombie's remake takes it to a whole new level. Blasphemous, I know, but Zombie's version has such a brutality to it. Micheal Myers is a ruthless killer with an unwavering determination. I watch Carpenter's every year on the holiday no matter what.
1. "A Nightmare on Elm Street" (1984)
Released into the world the same year as me, this may be my favorite horror film of all time. I can't tell you how many times I've watched it. The image of Freddy Krueger's clawed glove will remain embedded in my head for all time. His method of killing teens in their sleep makes him an ultimate villian. I'll admit that sometimes I catch myself humming "One, Two. Freddy's coming for you. …"
There's a whole slew of films out there about every type of creature imaginable. So let's whittle it down to the popular kids, shall we.
3. "The Lords of Salem" (2012)
Until this year, I would have told you that my favorite witch movie was "The Craft" (1996). The film is still near and dear to my heart, but it was bumped from its pedistool for Rob Zombie's "The Lords of Salem" after I saw it. Once again, I will use the word brutal to describe one of Zombie's films. In fact, I will apply that word to each of his films, but that's for a different list. This film is very visually disturbing and I dug it. It's not for the faint of heart or those easily offend, which I also suppose is true of his films in general.
2. "An American Werewolf in London" (1981)
The makeup effects in this film are to me what gave way to how most people envision werewolves. The transition of (Spoiler!) the main character into a werewolf is almost painfully long to watch. Maybe not as impressive to movie viewers of today, but at the time, man. Rick Baker, the man behind the magic, even won an Oscar for Outstanding Achievement in Makeup for that transformation. Also, points alone for a soundtrack comprised of songs referencing the moon, especially Creedence Clearwater Revival's 'Bad Moon Rising.'
1. "Bram Stoker's Dracula" (1992)
I get a lot of flack for saying Francis Ford Coppola's version of Dracula is my favorite, but I have two words for that: Gary Oldman. Holy cow, does Oldman do justice to that role. Anthony Hopkins as Abraham Van Helsing and Tom Waits as Renfield isn't too shabby either. I also dig that it briefly pays homage to Vlad Tepes, the man who Bram Stoker is ultimately thought to have derived Dracula from for his novel. I once wrote a thesis paper about vampires accompanied by little impaled gingerbread men, but I digress.
This is another category that's hard to narrow down. So many options to choose from, haunted houses, possession, malevolent spirits …
3. "Insidious" (2010)
When this film came out a few years back, I was so very impressed. It had been ages since I walked of a theater actually frightened by a horror film. It has something so very hard to come by these days: an original plot. Not just original, but interesting and appealing. I went in thinking that it would be your typical haunting movie, but astral projection! Color me impressed, and scared. I watch the majority of the movie with my hoodie pulled all the way up to my eyes, just in case I needed to hide.
2. "The Exorcist" (1973)
I don't watch this movie often. It has a giant creep out factor for me. There aren't many movies I would say that about. This film kept me from ever picking up a ouija board. Unnatural movement, demonic possession, buckets of puke. Yeah …
1. "Poltergeist" (1982)
I looked quite a bit like Carol Anne when I was young. When Heather O'Rourke, the actress who portrayed the main character, died in real life, my parents didn't tell me for fear of upsetting me. The film has it all, creepy kids, trees and clown dolls surrounded by paranormal activity. I adore it. Do yourself a favor and watch it. Now.
Halloween isn't just for doom and gloom there's several films out there that you can watch with children (or alone) that, while maintaining darker themes, still have a wholesome message at the end.
3. "Hocus Pocus" (1993)
The accidentally resurrected Sanderson Sisters make this film as they run amok. Led by Bette Midler, the witches provide laughs and frights, but nothing too crazy. It is a Disney film after all. Plus, there's a talking sarcastic cat named Binx. It's hard not to like.
2. "The Addams Family" (1991)
This film is all around good fun that promotes the strength of family, even if said family is a wee bit kooky and possibly all together ooky. The casting of this movie was superb, in my opinion. I grew up watching both the live action and animated television shows of the same name not that I was very old when the theatrical film debuted either.
1. "The Nightmare Before Christmas" (1993)
I'll admit it, I'm kind of a Tim Burton film groupie, and this movie is the reason why. How cool is the thought of "Halloween Town" and "Christmas Town," especially to children? I fell in love with Jack Skellington and his little ghost dog, Zero, the second they came on screen. The stop motion animated film captures the imagination of young and old alike.
You're not really into horror movies if you've seen only American films. There's a great big world out there full of terror.
3. "Night Watch" (2004)
This Russian film is zany and all over the place at times, but compelling, visually appealing and action packed. It's a little hard to describe. The scene that sold me involves an owl transforming into a woman.
2. "Martyrs" (2008)
Part of the New French Extremity movement, the level of violence in the film is graphic and in your face. Some may lump it in with torture films, but it's so much more than that. (Spoiler!) It has one of those endings that can be depicted one way or another depending on the way you look at. An American remake is in the process, I have little hope it will capture the intensity of the French version. Regardless, I'll go see it.
1. "A Tale of Two Sisters" (2003)
I used to have a reoccurring nightmare when I first began living on my own. A scene from this South Korean film captures it. It's based on a folktale like many other Asian horror films so some of the imagery is familiar. And like many other Asian horror films, there's an American version floating around out there. "The Uninvited" (2009) is a little less confusing to follow in plot, but has none of the thrills from "A Tale of Two Sisters."
There's several other sub-genres of horror out there that I could go on and and on about. Instead, I'll leave you with a few honorable mentions in no particular order or category. Just some other movies I enjoy around Halloween.
"Jennifer's Body," "Donnie Darko," "Return of the Living Dead," "30 Days of Night," "The Entity," "The Ninth Gate," "Audition," "Brotherhood of the Wolf," "Pan's Labyrinth," "It," "Hellraiser," "The Thing," "Evil Dead," and "28 Days Later."

Update: The benefit concert is from 2-7 p.m. Sunday (Feb. 10) at Chapel of the Chimes, 4499 Piedmont Ave. More information can be found here.
Christopher Rodriguez is in good spirits, is recovering more quickly than expected and has left the intensive care unit of Children's Hospital-Oakland. The 10-year-old now spends part of his day in a wheelchair and, according to his mom, is trying to do "wheelies."
"He has not cried. He's taken everything as a champ," his dad said.
Christopher, who was critically injured and paralyzed by a stray bullet that sailed through the wall of his music school Jan. 10, knows he won't be able to walk for years, at least, his father said.
But Christopher and his family are hoping that developing technologies might eventually help cure his paralysis. In the meantime, family and friends are planning upcoming fundraising events:
- Feb. 10, at Chapel of the Chimes, by Harmony Road Music School
- March 24, at Yoshi's in Jack London Square
I'll post the details as they come in. Or, if you know something I don't (which is entirely possible) please share it. I'm forwarding this link to the family, so feel free to post messages to them.

Whitworth President to Lead Spokane Area Chamber
The vital connection between strong educational resources and economic growth is highlighted by Whitworth College President William P. Robinson's selection as chair-elect of the Spokane Area Chamber of Commerce. Robinson and other members of the 1999-2000 board of trustees were announced today at the chamber's annual meeting.
Robinson, entering his seventh year as president of Whitworth, is co-chair of the chamber's Higher Education Leadership Group and has played an important role in coordinating the efforts of area colleges and universities to support economic growth in the region. Creating stronger links between higher education institutions and the business community is one of his primary goals as he joins the chamber's executive committee this year and prepares to take over as chair of the board next year.
"The quality of education in our region exercises enormous influence on our economic future. In turn, the condition of our economy directly affects the support and strength of our educational programs," Robinson says. "My involvement with the Chamber simply is an acknowledgment of that interdependence. And to that end, I hope I can help raise the level of cooperation among those who influence and love the Spokane area."
With the realignment of public higher education in Spokane and the elimination of the Joint Center for Higher Education, the chamber has become the focal point for coordination between local higher education institutions and the business community. The chamber's Higher Education Leadership Group includes the chief executive officers of 15 local companies as well as the Community Colleges of Spokane, Eastern Washington University, Gonzaga University, Washington State University and Whitworth.
The group has adopted a five-point plan to involve higher education institutions in regional economic development. The plan calls for local college and university leaders to actively participate in business recruiting and retention efforts, market the region's higher education assets, provide leadership in developing and promoting cultural diversity and training programs, explore scientific and technological research activities in the region, and ensure comprehensive course offerings linked to the region's needs.
In an era of low unemployment and stiff competition for attracting new businesses to the region, chamber leaders say that strategic planning for workforce training and development is critical for promoting economic growth.

SGI World Peace Day Celebrated Around the World
On October 2, SGI President Daisaku Ikeda and Mrs. Kaneko Ikeda attended a ceremony in Tokyo to pay tribute to their mentors Tsunesaburo Makiguchi (first president of Soka Gakkai) and Josei Toda (second president of Soka Gakkai). Mr. and Mrs. Ikeda also offered prayers for the well-being of SGI members around the world and the attainment of world peace.
The day marked the 50th anniversary (October 2, 1960) of Mr. Ikeda's first steps in spreading Nichiren Buddhism outside of Japan, which were subsequently followed by travels throughout the world toward fulfilling this endeavor.
In the five decades since, Mr. Ikeda has led the development of the SGI into an organization that encompasses 12 million practitioners in 192 countries and territories. To date, he has visited 54 countries and territories.
SGI members worldwide also celebrated the 50th anniversary of SGI World Peace Day by holding commemorative meetings.
In Japan, the Soka Gakkai's International Department held a general meeting at the Soka International Friendship Center in Sendagaya, Tokyo, on October 2. Following welcoming words and a faith-based experience from one Soka Gakkai member, SGI youth members living in Japan and part of Soka Gakkai's Tokyo International Group performed a song entitled "I Arise" whose theme is about youth taking responsibility for the advancement of world peace with the same commitment as their mentor.
SGI members in Austria commemorated SGI World Peace Day at the SGI-Austria Culture Center in Vienna on October 5. Approximately 150 attended the meeting. In his message, Mr. Ikeda conveyed his deepest respect to all SGI-Austria members and for their efforts to contribute to peace.
In Peru, SGI members held a national headquarters meeting at the SGI-Peru Culture Center in Lima on September 26. SGI-Peru General Director José Juárez Salazar encouraged those attending to embody a youthful spirit and open new paths of peace through earnest prayer and heartfelt dialogue.
Similarly, SGI members in the Czech Republic commemorated the date by gathering on September 11. The small meeting allowed for heartfelt exchanges among those attending.

Chris Bukowski's Bachelor Blog: Sarah Herron Is an Inspiration to Us All
Chris Bukowski is infamous for his devious antics on Bachelor Pad 3, but don't be fooled by the rocks that he's got. He's just, he's just Christopher from ye olde Polish block. In other words, he has a heart of gold. Proof? His fond feelings for The Bachelor's Sarah Herron, the beautiful goddess trying to capture Sean Lowe's heart.
"I will start out by giving a ton of props to Sarah for being so inspiring," Chris writes in his Bachelor Blog. "This show is as much of an emotional roller coaster as is, and even though she was feeling an extreme amount of emotions and was put in a situation she was uncomfortable, she never once acted like a drama queen. It shows that her feelings are real, she's real, and she's there for the right reasons."
There's no doubt that Sarah is 100% genuine, and Chris is completely man-spired. "I think we can all learn a lot about how to deal with frustration from Sarah," Chris continues as our eyes well up with happy-tears. "I'm glad she mustered the courage and got back out there rolling!"
In the words of Clueless, Sarah's rollin' with her homies. It looks like Chris thinks she's the gal for Sean, but click here to find out if she wins the final rose!

Actor of the Decade
The actor of the decade is George Clooney. He's got five great movies—Fantastic Mr Fox, Up in the Air, Michael Clayton, Confessions of a Dangerous Mind, and Ocean's 11—plus a number of others (O Brother, Burn After Reading, Ocean's 12, Good Night and Good Luck) that have merit. And the others aren't necessarily unwatchable either. We're a long way from the time he saved that kid trapped in a sewer.
It occurs to me that Robert Farley actually tweeted this yesterday, planting the idea in my mind.

KCPryzrGilbert, AZAge: 35-44Gender: female5 Stars Out Of 5Be Prepared to have your Outlook DhangedAugust 21, 2012KCPryzrGilbert, AZAge: 35-44Gender: femaleQuality: 5Value: 4Meets Expectations: 5If you don't want your life changed, leave this book alone. If you are happy being selfish, content with focusing on your own wants, wishes, and needs, then you won't like this book. BUT...if you are looking for someone to challenge you to get out of your own way and let God perform supernatural feats through your mustard-seed size faith, this is the book for you.
This book will make you want to match up with the character examples that Max gives. People like Mother Theresa who gave up everything to love Jesus through the poor in India or the little boy who challenged his father, his pastors, and his church to give money to build clean water wells in a third-world country.
Max Lucado does what I've come to understand is quite normal for him. He mixes humor, examples from the Bible, and examples from people he knows to quite literally, hit you over the head with a baseball bat, and try to wake you up to the life that is lived outside of your own existence.
One thing I would recommend is to read it twice. The first time, just read. Let yourself smile at the picture of the man with the new ox and cry with the story of the Turkish pastor who lost his life for not recanting his belief in Jesus. Enjoy the way Mr. Lucado brings life to some of the stories from the Bible you've heard time and time again.
Then, after you've absorbed everything, go back through with the study guide provided at the back of the book and really let God teach his lessons through this book.
I think it's a book you will thoroughly enjoy and be challenged to "Outlive Your Life".

"We received so many compliments on this invitation. It was for our son's Holy Communion. Everyone loved the front and back design of the card."
"This is a beautiful invitation. The design is simple and elegant. I highly recommend the pearl shimmer paper. Beautiful!"
"We used the recommended fonts with a ticket trim on the premium double thick card paper. We have twins, so we ordered 2 sets of these invitations and we are extremely pleased with the finished look, especially for the low price. The gold metallic envelopes perfectly complement the khaki background on the light blue cross."
"This card arrived exactly as pictured. I have ordered several items and they are always perfect! The ability to view your proof as you designing it is awesome!! Really fast delivery too!"
"I ordered this card for my sons baptism in the extra thick paper. Quality is excellent and took only one week to be printed and delivered to Australia. Also was very easy to order online. I would highly recommend Tiny Prints and would definitely use them again."

Kember Says Numbers Don't Add Up
Between health insurance and retirements, the Lacrosse School District looks to save about $3.7 million next year. But reductions in state aid to the tune of $4.9 million are coming as well. So the outcome Superintendent Jerry Kember?A one million dollar hole.
But Kember says that million dollars may not stay around for awhile. There are a couple of solutions according to Kember.There are some funds in coffers that have yet to be used.
Kember also says that the savings in benefits are a one time tool........and the district won't be in that situation a year from now as reducing budgets is a one time deal and the district will be in a budget cutting mode once again

On this basis, Alfred State offers a lifestyle approach to residence hall living. Within the limits of college policy, various lifestyle areas are offered, and students may choose the area which best suits them. The following styles are located in designated areas of certain residence halls:
No Smoking – All of our residential facilities are smoke-free.
Baccalaureate Lifestyle – Available in Peet Hall only. This lifestyle option provides an opportunity for students in the baccalaureate programs to reside together.
Substance-free Lifestyle – This lifestyle is designed for the student interested in living within a tobacco-free and alcohol-free area. All guests and visitors are also required to abide by the substance-free lifestyle while visiting the area. Each student signs a contract pledging to remain substance free while living in this area. If you are not totally committed to the restrictions, this lifestyle is not for you.
Healthy Living Lifestyle - The healthy living option is available for those students choosing to live in a positive environment that focuses on the six dimensions of wellness: physical, social, spiritual/emothional, occupational, intellectural, and culture.
24 and Over Lifestyle – This lifestyle option was created to address the special needs of nontraditional students, e.g. self-governed quiet hours and the ability to stay in the residence hall during breaks. Available in Main Gate B only.
Quiet Study – Guarantees a student a quiet area to study and reside. Mandatory 24-hour quiet. Stereos and radios are allowed but kept at a minimal noise level. Areas are available in certain residence halls.

Hearts and Hands deals with many of the difficult issues addressed in Luis Rodríguez's memoir of gang life, Always Running, but with a focus on healing through community building. Empowered by his experiences as a peacemaker with gangs in Los Angeles and Chicago, Rodríguez offers a unique book of change. He makes concrete suggestions, shows how we can create nonviolent opportunities for youth today, and redirects kids into productive and satisfying lives. And he warns that we sacrifice community values for material gain when we incarcerate or marginalize people already on the edge of society. His interest in dissolving gang influence on black and latino kids is personal as well as societal; his son, to whom he dedicates Hearts and Hands, is currently serving a prison sentence for gang-related activity. With anecdotes, interviews, and time-tested guidelines, Hearts and Hands makes a powerful argument for building and supporting community life.
Best known for his autobiographical Always Running: La Vida Loca: Gang Days in L.A., LUIS RODRIGUEZ has written for The Nation, Grand Street, and the Los Angeles Weekly, among others. Winner of a National Book Award, a Lannan Foundation Fellowship, and an Illinois Arts Council Fellowship for poetry,… More about Luis Rodriguez

Lack of sleep can affect people's moral judgement, a new study shows. The findings could have implications for people in positions of responsibility, whose decisions often have life or death consequences, such as overworked medical professionals and sleep-deprived soldiers.
William Killgore and colleagues at the Walter Reed Army Institute of Research in Silver Spring, Maryland, US, set up an experiment with 26 healthy adults, all of whom were active-duty military personnel.
The participants were presented with a variety of hypothetical dilemmas, first when well rested and later, after staying awake for 53 hours. Situations included complex moral quandaries such as having to choosing whether or not to let one person die in order to save the lives of several others. Less weighty dilemmas without a moral component were also included, such as "is it OK to substitute ingredients in a chocolate brownies recipe?"
While participants did not become less "moral" when sleep deprived, they did require two seconds longer on average to answer complex moral questions, Killgore says. However, questions without a moral component did not take longer to answer after participants were kept awake.
Asleep at the wheel
The findings, along with previous brain-imaging studies, suggest that sleep deprivation has a particularly debilitating effect on decision-making processes that depend heavily on emotion. "When people go for more than 24 hours without sleep there are dramatic decreases in brain activity in the prefrontal cortex [the area of the brain involved in processing emotions and decision-making]," says Killgore. "It basically goes to sleep."
Sleep deprived participants also showed slight shifts in what they deemed appropriate actions compared to when they were well-rested. The changes were more pronounced in individuals who scored lower in "emotional intelligence" tests. Killgore believes that those with a lower emotional capacity to begin with may have less resistance to the affects of sleep deprivation.
Judy Illes at the Center for Biomedical Ethics at Stanford University, California, US, says the study's implications are profound. "Moral judgements are perhaps the most complex decisions that people have to make, decisions that are laden with personal, social, religious, and cultural values," she says.
"We don't want tired irritable soldiers making bad decisions that endanger themselves or others that are not a threat to them. Nor do we want health care providers who are unable to make quick medical decisions on behalf of their patients."
Both Illes and Killgore are quick to note that further research, including brain imaging, should be conducted as laboratory results do not always translate to real world situations.

Processing Methods May Move Nutrition to Food Movement Center Stage
By Wayne Roberts
Take a pass on food guides, ingredient pyramids, and with any diet books that feature pro-carb, anti-carb, low-fat or packaged solutions of any sort.
The whole field of nutrition – all the way from basic understanding of food make-up to consumer education to public regulation of healthy food choices – is about to get the biggest shake-up in the 200-year-old history of nutrition science as a branch of food chemistry.
The food movement, largely a force of the last 20 years, grew out of efforts to protect local family farms, address issues of hunger and want, promote environmental sustainability, conserve biodiversity, reclaim the spirituality, mindfulness, pleasures, places, cultures and terroir of food, and foster a new crop of food artisans with ambitions to combine community, health and economic benefits.
Nutrition has rarely been front and center of the food movement. Partly that worked to steer clear of turf wars with jurisdictionally jealous dietitians, who tended to see food through an exclusively functional and utilitarian lens – a carrot is a carrot is a carrot and its purpose is to supply Vitamin A and that's about all we need to know. Partly it worked to build the food movement as a Big Tent movement that stood on its own ground – independent of the divisions identified by vegans, vegetarians, raw foodists, and so on, as well as nutritionists.
That strict boundary between nutrition and food movement concerns may soon end, and that will be a good thing, that may well help the food movement meet its primary task of connecting the dots and people in the whole enchilada known as the food system. It may be time to realize that food system thinking without a nutritional component is a bit like democracy without free speech or human rights.
What caught my attention about the possibility of a new approach to nutrition was an e-mail link that took me to the November issue of the World Nutrition journal , with an editorial proclaiming the "big issue is ultra-processing," not specific ingredients or nutrients.
A few months away from wrapping up a year-long series by esteemed Brazilian epidemiologist Carlos Monteiro, the editorial claims that its process-centered approach "implies a revolution in thinking about food, nutrition and health at all levels."
The revolution seems to be that enjoying simple meals with friends and family will displace preoccupation with specific nutrients as the framework for both personal appreciation and public evaluation of food choices. Occupy the meal table!!!
Among the changes to expect from this new processing-centered thinking will be a dramatic increase in the role of local governments in food and health regulations – an area now monopolized by dysfunctional national and international bodies beyond the reach of the populace and more or less captured by global food processing corporations. By any reasonable standards of a government's duty of care and protection, the failure to provide legal restrictions around salt levels in processed foods or antibiotics in animal feed speaks to some level of failed states when it comes to food matters.
As processing-based food understandings take hold among food enthusiasts, I predict we'll see a shift to more City Council support for vending of fruits, vegetables and multicultural dishes at farmers markets and by street vendors, less hounding by local health officials of the likes of street-based food vendors and unpasteurized milk advocates, and perhaps even stepped-up actions to use local zoning and taxing powers to protect people from junk food pushers.
The lengthy series in World Nutrition began a year ago, with an editorial claiming it was "time to start again" with a new nutrition paradigm that highlighted processing methods.
Three kinds of processing are identified, each with specific impacts on health, sustainability and other public benefits...http://blogs.worldwatch.org/nourishingtheplanet/citywatch-processing-methods-may-move-nutrition-to-food-movement-center-stage/

Unless you're born under a rock then you know that until last week Harry Reid was sort of a closet racist, but just in case you missed it here is a passage from the new book "Game Change" about the 2008 presidential election...
He was wowed by Obama's oratorical gifts and believed that the country was ready to embrace a black presidential candidate, especially one such as Obama -- a "light-skinned" African American "with no NEGRO dialect, unless he wanted to have one"...
scin·til·la n.
1. A minute amount; an iota or trace.
2. A spark; a flash.
3. The measure of George Will's knowlege of what this word means
Now liberals are circling their wagons around Reid because race isn't a four letter word in the Democratic party (usually because Biden gets to spell it).
Even conservative DC bubbleheads like George Will are going to bat for Reid on George Stephanopoulos's show saying there wasn't even a "scintilla" of evidence of racism.....
Not even a scintilla? Does Will even know the definition of that word? The whole thing is ONLY about race, and it denigrates "real" black....ahem....."negro" people!
Honestly, if that isn't racism then I'm starting to wonder if that word actually has less to do with the color of people's skin and more do do with prefering Nascar over golf. At least then we can try to begin to make sense of George Will, who has obviously been drinking the DC establishment water for way to long now. Being a conservative on any network political program is like being a permanent pledge on the most elite fraternity on campus (in their minds only).
Of course what Reid said is loaded with racism! Next to figuring out how to steal other peoples money for themselves all liberals think about is how to be better race pimps....they've been vote counting to it for decades.
Social security
Universal Health Care
Affirmative Action
But just because someone utters something that smacks of racism does not a racist make, right? Its not like Reid or other Democrats are supporting institutions that oppress, rob liberty, or even enslave the constituents they are marketed to in ways that make them scared to vote for Republicans lest they loose access to the "stash".
Hmmmm...studies have shown that homophobes are really just lashing out in an effort to quell their own latent gay sensibilities.....maybe Reid isn't racist so much as he is trying to....express himself.Add a comment
Its hard to imagine what actually went on at the Climate Summit in Copenhagen when you consider fewer of us BELIEVE in it. In fact...its support has been slipping for a while.
I'm not really sure how something like this could happen.....
Maybe its the fishy science behind it.
Or the science behind it that seems kind of fishy.
Or maybe its the Climategate emails revealing collusion to doctor the research in ways that would make Milli Vanilli's Grammy blush.
Or maybe its the desire to hold the climate summit at the same time as the Copenhagen Private Jet show.
Or maybe it's that the world is FREEZING right now and maybe there shouldn't be record lows when the world is supposedly getting warmer.
That said, each "snowflake" represents a headline in the news about how the country is getting colder than the Clintons on date night. Give them a peak and watch Al Gore try to eat his words.

How To Do An Index Audit
Combine two powerful tools -- SEO Quake and Excel -- to perform an index audit, identifying missing pages.
How Many Indexed Web Pages Do You Have Today?
Up to a point, the number of indexed pages shows how well you have been managing an SEO campaign so far.
When you start working on SEO creating additional pages or reviewing the existing content sounds is something normal. As a result, the more pages indexed, the better.
Why Should I Care About These "Invisible" Pages?
If a page is not indexed links and content you have on that page will "not count"; wasted opportunity.
In this post, I won't show you how to fix issues, but rather how to identify them. In the process I will show you a quick but effective way to combine the power of some of the SEO tools around the net with Excel (but you can either use Google Docs or Open office).
Step 1: Identify Your Web Site's Pages
I assume that your sitemap (the XML version) is up to date.
If you don't have it yet, you can create one using a sitemap generator; if your site has less than 500 pages, the majority of online sitemap tool should fit well and can scan the site for free.
If this is not the case, you should probably go for a paid solution, unless you won't accept the risk to have an incomplete analysis. Alternatively you can use a site scraper like "Screaming Frog".
As soon as you have the XML sitemap, open Microsoft Excel. If you use Windows, you will be slightly at an advantage here, as Excel 2010 offers a nice feature to import and recognize XML files easily.
Regrettably, this is not the case for Office for Mac, which seems to have been not provided with such a filter. However, you can still import the file as a text. This will require a little extra effort to select only the <loc> nodes, which can be eventually filtered using the "data filter", or you can use an advanced text editor that supports the Regular Expression to remove all the unwanted text in one go.
In the example below, you can see how the XML file was once imported as a text file in my Mac.
And how it appears once the filter has applied.
You can easily remove the extra bits with the Find & Replace function, then copy the content of the column C (in this case) and pasting into a new spread sheet, which you would probably require if you'd like to keep your stuff in order from minute one.
Add a column header by inserting a row, and name it "Sitemap", just to remember what the data source was.
Step 2: Check How Many Web Pages Search Engines Have Indexed
Get a browser plugin called "SEO Quake", available for most browsers.
Assuming you will start with Google, first thing is to switch off Google Instant and increase the number of results to return up to 100.
Now it's the time to find the indexed pages of your web site. Run the following query
And at the time the results will be shown, if not automatically included, add the following parameter &pws=0 at the end so to get a sort of "impersonalized" result; conditional is mandatory here because according on the browser you are using, it's likely to get different SERP in any case.
It's now time to extract all the information, so press the "View as CSV" button to get an online form with the raw data.
You can either save this information to a plain text file (just in case you need them again later) to import as usual selecting the semi column as a delimiter, or copy and paste straight into Excel.
In the latter case, the next step is to use the "text to column" feature. Again, use the semi column as the text delimiter, and here you go:
Of course, you end up with a lot of extra information, which you definitely don't need for this index audit, so feel free to remove all the unnecessary columns.
Finally, copy and paste the column with the URLs into the new document created before, and paste in the column B, adding at the beginning of the document a column header, naming it with the engine from which the information was retrieved (Google in this case).
Repeat the same process for Bing and any other search engine you may want to include in your audit.
Step 3: Perform The Audit
At this stage you now have all the information into a spreadsheet similar to the one below, so you can carry on with the final audit.
We can immediately get a sense that something is missing, but we don't know exactly what. As you can imagine, with a small data set the problem barely exists but with a big data set of 1000 pages it's harder to identify the gaps. That's why the audit.
The rest of the audit is just a matter of using the Excel VLOOKUP feature.
To make everything easier, we can transform the spread sheet data into a "table". This way, once the first cell is filled in with the formula we require,Excel automatically replicates it across the rest of the table, making it easier to update the document.
This is very useful, especially for big data sets, and it will avoid you dragging down the mouse to the bottom or copy and paste the same formula a lot of times.
Because the first row contained the header, by transforming the data into a table, this will automatically get converted for you, leaving the data to be analyzed available from row 2 onward. It also makes it a lot easier to use the VLOOKUP, as you can refer to the column content by just typing the table header's name rather than the relative cell reference (e.g. A:A).
So, instead of having a formula like
You will end up by having something like
=VLOOKUP([@Google], [@Sitemap], 1, FALSE)
Which is not meaningless like the first one.
The results this formula gives read unintuitive; you will have the entry repeated wherever the conditions match and an #N/A where they don't.
So what can we do? Let's tweak the formula above so to get result that may act as a "visual indicator" and help you understand the situation in few seconds.
Change the formula to:
=IFERROR(IF(VLOOKUP([@Google], [@Sitemap], 1, FALSE) <> "", TRUE), FALSE)
With this double error check, we get a TRUE value when the value matches, and FALSE when it doesn't. Now a quick glance will show you what requires your attention.
For the last bit, just change the column header and off you go. Save your spreadsheet for a later use.
To check for a missing redirect, work on the other way round; assume that your Search Engine results are correct and your sitemap's aren't.
In this way, by swapping the table array with your column containing the results from the SE, you will identify results that have been indexed by SEs and those that are not available on your site (as we all know that redirected pages are not indexed, don't we?). Again, we have to assume your sitemap is 100% accurate.
Please note that this really simple audit doesn't perform any live check; if you have recently fixed a redirect, it may be possible to get a false positive.
Hopefully, by the end of this article you
- Know what an index audit is
- Know how to carry a simple but powerful audit using day to day software
- Have expanded your Excel knowledge
I look forward to hearing any comments from you.

4 Responses to "How To Do An Index Audit"
I'm actually using SEO Quake and I believe it's the best tool that you can use for analyzing your website or other websites.
Never thought about an audit with the SEO Quake data but will definitely try it.
Surely this only works with websites under 1000 pages?
I agree with jack.
SEO Quake is very helpful to analyze, and of course very important for me to find a solution to improve my position in google.
although last month it was rumored that the tools had experienced an error due to some changes in the Google search engine.
Hi both, sorry for the late reply.
@Henry yes the limit of 1000 is imposed by the search engine, because you cannot display more than 1k results for each query.
@Alex I'm not sure about the problems SEO Quake has experienced recently. However, as I've only used the CSV visualization … there shouldn't be any contraindications.

Honda PC800 - Pacific Coast riders - opinions and pics please

This is quite a site, a little sumpin' for every taste. For me when I first saw
a PC I was curious as I have never seen a bike with a trunk before. WORKS for ME as the saying goes. The owner really talked up the bike, let me sit on it, and it "fit". I've owned dirt bikes as a kid but was never compelled to compete with "cagers" (I love that term) on the road so always passed. When gas got to 4.25/gal I threw in the towel and made the decision to
go for (2) wheels. I made a pact with the wife and myself to NOT consume while riding, went to a beginner riding class, and left the protection up to
the textile and The Lord. A little eBay searching had me bidding on a cherry 97 Red beauty from the wife of a Winger on Long Island. Her name is Clare and so...... is named the bike. Really great folks, brought the bike from LI to Albany for me on their way to Americade in June of 08'. " You meet the nicest people on a Honda" sure worked for me. I trucked it home and went about getting it on the road. I never rode once with a mentor on my permit staying close to home, ridin' the hood, learning balance, shifting, and just getting the feel for it. Many told me it was too much bike for a novice to which I say BUNK. A PC is very forgiving once you ride a little and have a 6'1" frame. The riding course taught me much and was well worth the expense and I spent the summer getting miles in and was getting my confidense about mid Fall. Rode to Nov 15th that year and couldn't wait for 09'. 09 started not to well as I put "Clare" on the ground with me under it
in early May. STUPID!! Normally I like the woman on top but not in this case. No biggie really , elevation diff between front wheel on pavement and rear on gravel and too shallow a angle and to quick with the wrist. ( What??
I'm not an expert after a half a year of riding) The crack in the Tupperware
is a constant reminder to THINK DUMBASS. Not so cherry anymore. Any tips on repairing ABS?. 09's weather didn't let me get the miles in I wanted but did get in a few good runs with some buds. Did a real nice ride in the Catkills last year thus the nickname. I love those mountains, bike or not.
Best story yet..... Caught 2 20 something "rocket" dudes jawing at a red traffic light and I coasted down to them just as the light turned. They're stopped and I still had about 8 mph left and I went up hard from second, third , fourth crouching down under my Clearview and hoped they took the bait. They did....... smoked my ass .......zooooom one on each side as they
blew past. I laughed for 1/2 hour after that. God that was too easy.
I love pulling into the drive-inns and landing Clare right in the middle of the
chrome and black leather set. Bright red bike, red textile and floresent white
modular full face.......and an open trunk.( Hey Mike!!... you always been a non conformist? ........yes).
Really, the H/D crowd are mostly good folks as are most bikers I've met but it's funny as I don't consider myself a biker, or enthusiast or....? I'm just a guy who likes riding a Honda Pacific Coast. But... I don't care. No "uniforn" for me. Looking forward to 10'. Going to take the "advanced" course this year and due some charity rides.
If your in the area between Utica and Syracuse NY this year and see a geeky
looking goof on a red 97 it's me. (can't be another)
Thanks for the welcome(s).

press release
The sixth African Union Health Ministers' Conference begins today (Tuesday, April 23rd) in the African Union Headquarters in Addis Ababa.
The theme is "The Impact of Non-Communicable Diseases (NCDs) and Neglected Tropical Diseases (NTD) on Development in Africa".
The experts' wing of the ministerial conference began on Monday and there will also be an experts meeting on AIDS Watch Africa on Wednesday (April 24th). Participants will observe World Malaria Day on April 25th. The ministerial discussions are taking place on April 25-26th.
Participants at the conference include officials of AU organs, representatives of non-AU member states accredited to the AU, regional economic communities, regional health organizations, UN agencies, civil society and non-governmental organizations as well as health professional organizations and ministers and officials.
During their discussion, the health experts called for urgent action to address the challenge of non-communicable diseases in Africa, to ensure that gains recorded in the health and socio-economic status of Africans were not reversed.
The experts suggested that NCDs could threaten the progress being made towards the UN Millennium Development Goals.
A rapid rise in NCDs could impede poverty reduction initiatives in low-income countries, in particular forcing up household costs associated with health care. Similarly, increased government expenditure on health, given the chronic nature of NCDs, would divert financial resources from other developmental programs.
Besides the exorbitant cost of dealing with NCDs, the often lengthy and expensive treatment, coupled with the loss of family breadwinners, would be likely to force millions into poverty. According to the African Union Commission's Department of Social Affairs, which helped organize the conference, the theme of the conference was inspired by the Africa Health Strategy 2007-2015 which states that African people are still confronted by the triple burdens of communicable and non-communicable diseases, as well as injury and trauma.
The social effect of these had certainly affected development in Africa adversely. The experts concluded that the main challenges in tackling NTDs in Africa included inadequate awareness of the impact of control programs in relation to the three big killers: HIV/AIDS, malaria and tuberculosis.
Up to 90% of the global burden of neglected tropical diseases (NTDs) is believed to fall on Africa as these diseases flourish most in conditions of poverty and thrive in heat and humidity. Globally, an estimated one billion people are at risk of NTD infections, which they approximately 534,000 deaths annually.
Of the 14 diseases, mostly parasitic, listed as NTDs, a majority occur in Africa, spread by insects, multiplying through contaminated water and soil infested with the eggs of worms. Poor sanitation and limited access to basic health care also play a role in the heavy burden of these diseases on poor communities.
It was also noted that climate change can have a profound and adverse effect on some of the most fundamental social determinants of health, including the availability of food, clean air and water and on the possible re-emergence of diseases that have been largely controlled.
Neglected tropical diseases of this kind which severely debilitate affected communities include: Onchocercliasis, Trypanosomiasis, Schistosomiasis, Dracunculiasis and Filariasis.

Haiderpur and Nangloi water treatment plants will be shut down from Friday morning till Saturday evening
Central-West Delhi, North-West Delhi, West Delhi, South-West Delhi, South Delhi areas to be affected
'Residents will have to store water as we will not be in a position to even send water tankers'
NEW DELHI: Large parts of the Capital will go without water on Friday and Saturday as two water treatment plants at Haiderpur and Nangloi will be shut down on account of some work and also because of repairs being carried out elsewhere.
According to Delhi Jal Board officials, following a request by the Haryana Irrigation Department, the Delhi sub-branch canal that supplies raw water to the Haiderpur and Nangloi water treatment plants will be closed from early Friday morning till late Saturday evening.
"The plants will be shutdown for about 24 to 30 hours, so water supply to all areas on the command of these two treatment plants will be affected. The closure of the sub-branch canal is required to facilitate construction of culverts to lay the pipeline across the bed of the canal," said an official.
The closure of the treatment plants will affect people living in Central-West Delhi, North-West Delhi, West Delhi, South-West Delhi, Naraina, Delhi Cantonment and South Delhi areas falling under the New Delhi Municipal Council. "Though we will try and provide supply on Friday morning as well as Saturday night, residents in these areas will have to store water as we will not be in a position to even send water tankers," said the official.
Also on account of repairs in West Punjabi Bagh, water supply will be affected on Friday in East and West Punjabi Bagh, Moti Nagar, Karampura, Rani Bagh, Jaidev Park, Bhagwan Dass Nagar, Shivaji Park, Arihant Nagar, SFS Madipur, Kirti Nagar, Sudershan Park, Ram Garh and Rattan Park.
DJB official said due to the installation of flow meter at Janakpuri, water supply will be affected on Friday and Saturday in Janakpuri A, B, C and D Block, Virender Nagar, Shiv Nagar, Nangal Raya, Lajwanti Garden Institutional Area, Pankha Road and Prem Nagar.
Water supply will also be affected over the weekend in Moti Bagh, Teen Murti and NDMC areas. There will be low water pressure in Kailash Hill, Karawal Nagar, Dayalpur, Mustafabad, Pocket-F Dilshad Garden, Pocket-E Mayur Vihar Phase-II, Molar Band village because of annual cleaning and maintenance work.

Words are property, but borrowing them needn't be theft
The World of Books: Robert McCrum argues that creativity, as was appreciated by Shakespeare and his contemporaries, depends on the magpie-like appropriation and redeployment of ideas and phrases from the teeming scrapheap of thought and language that makes up our shared cultural inheritance

Television: Well-acted and beautifully shot, the gritty North and South makes a welcome change from the usual BBC period drama. Add sharp documentaries on MMR and malaria and it was a strong week for stark reality

Hamas says it has agreed to a 24-hour humanitarian truce in the Gaza war ahead of a major Muslim holiday.
Hamas spokesman Sami Abu Zuhri said the truce would go into effect at 2 p.m. (1100 GMT) Sunday. The three-day Eid al-Fitr holiday, which caps the Muslim fasting month of Ramadan, is expected to begin Monday or Tuesday, depending on the sighting of the new moon.
Israel had offered a 24-hour truce late Saturday, but Hamas rejected it, firing more rockets on Israel. In response, Israel's military resumed operations in Gaza.
Lt. Col. Peter Lerner, an Israeli army spokesman, did not say if Israel would hold its fire during the time requested by Hamas, but said troops would continue demolishing Hamas military tunnels.
