Leadership is critical to making changes at multiple levels of the social ecological model, including the environmental and policy levels, and will therefore likely contribute to solutions to the obesity epidemic and other public health issues. The literature describing the relative leadership styles and strengths of women versus men is mixed and virtually all research comes from sectors outside of public health. The purpose of this qualitative study is to identify specific leadership skills and characteristics in women who have successfully created change predominantly within the food and physical activity environments in their communities and beyond. The second purpose of this study is to understand best practices for training and nurturing women leaders, to maximize their effectiveness in creating social change.
Key informant interviews were conducted with 16 women leaders in the public health sector from November 2008 through February 2010. The sample represented a broad spectrum of leaders from across the United States, identified through web searches and through networks of academic and professional colleagues. Most were working on improving the food and physical activity environments within their communities. Questions were designed to determine leaders' career path, motivation, characteristics, definition of success, and challenges. The initial coding framework was based on the questioning structure. Using a grounded theory approach, additional themes were added to the framework as they emerged. The NVivo program was used to help code the data.
Respondents possessed a vision, a strong drive to carry it out, and an ability to mobilize others around the vision. Their definitions of success most often included changing the lives of others in a sustainable way. Persistence and communications skills were important to their success. The mentoring they received was critical. Challenges included fundraising and drifting from their original mission.
These findings may be used to help develop or inform a model of women's leadership in public health and to improve the training and nurturance of leaders who promote health in their communities and beyond.

Department Finance Year 2010 Semester 2 Degree Master Type of Document Master's Thesis Language English Title Rational and Sentimental Components in Long-term Stock Volatility Date of Defense 2011-06-29 Page Count 51 Keyword investor sentiment long run risk stock market volatility Abstract How to precisely forecast the uncertainty of asset return is one of the most important issues in finance. This thesis aims to construct a new innovative volatility model by reconciling both the macroeconomic fundamentals and investor sentimental variables from both the rational and behavioral literature, with an application to modern risk management. Fundamental and sentimental factors are employed to capture the long-run volatility of asset return via the spline-GARCH proposed by Engle and Rangel (2008). Our model is successful in allowing for behavioral biases from the emotional and sentimental behaviors among investors during the period of financial crisis. Specifically, we characterize how much both parts contributes to the total variation of price changes and found that the fundamental contributed variations dominated. However, the proportion from the behavioral factor explained variation tends to grow in the recent years. Our empirical results suggest that the information disclosed from both parts is shown to improve the performance of volatility modeling, particularly in the longer horizon, and in tail risk management.

The next run the 2013 Reds score will equal their 2012 total. The team is scoring 4.37 rpg this season, up from 4.13 last season. That's actually a healthy jump because league scoring is down year-to-year from 4.22 to 4.03 (and, yes, I think you can put a lot of that on the disappearance of the Houston Astros). In rankings terms the Reds are up from 9th to 2nd in the NL for rpg.
Some other numbers:
2013 Reds
(non-pitchers) .256/.337/.407, 102 OPS+
2012 Reds
(non-pitchers) .257/.324/.423 97 OPS+
The league slash line is down a bit across the board.
Main thing is the Reds are up while the league is down. So, much as we might bemoan the offense, it has improved overall at a time when most others have gotten worse.
And it clearly has been the boost in OB that's done the trick. Adding Choo and a full season of Votto are the drivers here. The 2012 Reds had more power and if the team had been able to add its current OB with 2012's SLG it would be a fairly formidable unit. Yet there's no disputing the offense is better even if it's well short of perfect.

Cazenovia was shaken Wednesday Oct. 6 by the loss of an important pillar of the community.
Ralph K. Sparks passed away at University Hospital after suffering a medical emergency while driving his school bus. A graduate of Cazenovia High School in 1968, Ralph had many friends around town. The 61- year-old was dearly loved, and is fondly remembered. At calling hours Sunday Oct. 10 at Tait Funeral Home, Cazenovians of all ages patiently waited in a two-hour line to pay their respects to Ralph's life and the legacy he left behind.
Ralph was a charter member of Cazenovia Area Volunteer Ambulance Corps and a member of the Cazenovia Fire Department's Hook and Ladder Company. He was a former captain of the Rescue Team, and was instrumental in the creation of the SCUBA Dive Team. Having served in Vietnam, Ralph was a member of American Legion Post #88. A bus driver for the Cazenovia Central School District, he delivered and dropped off students for 18 years.
Ralph was also an avid outdoorsman; he liked kayaking in the summer and snowmobiling during the winter season. He enjoyed these activities with the company of his family, his loving wife and his children.
The son of Ken and Barbara Sparks, Ralph was the oldest of four boys. He is survived by his parents and brothers, as well as his sons Doug and Jason, and his wife of 33 years, Elise. Ralph's strong commitment to service is shared by his family as well; his sons are current members of the Hook and Ladder Company and Elise was a teacher for the Cazenovia Central School district for many years and served as union president.
Elise said Ralph was "a great father, and a wonderful husband who always put others before himself."
"He liked to help, and he loved his work. I think if he could have been a professional fireman, he would have," she said.

"There was blood and human tissue. It was horrible, I mean, till this day, I couldn't put myself to see it again," Santiago said.
Unable to get through to 911, Santiago drove Orozco to the hospital -- in rush hour traffic. With the severity of her injury, doctors said the fact that Orozco made it to the hospital alive was in itself miraculous.
"There [was] bleeding everywhere, the face, what was remaining, was shredded. It was really, really destroyed," said Dr. Michael Fritz, Orozco's facial plastic surgeon at Metro Health Hospital.
Fritz said the most critical factor in keeping Orozco alive was maintaining an airway.
"When you lose the front of your jaw, where it's just blood and swelling and pieces of bone everywhere, your airway is just going to close off very rapidly," he said. "I don't really know how she maintained an airway coming in. That was probably the most amazing thing."
When Fritz first met Orozco in that hospital room, he said he couldn't believe that just a few days before the shooting, she was a normal high school senior, planning for prom and graduation.
CLICK HERE to see photos of Orozco's recovery.
"What really struck me," he said, "is that she had this really fancy fingernail work done with, stars and moons, and it just really struck me how this girl was just in high school the other day, and was doing her nails. So I knew the bar was going to be set very high."
After the shotgun blast, Orozco was missing her entire chin, upper neck and most of her lower lip.
"The first time I did look in the mirror ... I just broke down and cried," she told Vargas. "I felt like a monster."
In an operation that lasted 13 hours, Dr. Fritz established a new jaw by using a piece of skin and bone from Johanna's leg. It took months for Orozco to regain the most basic functions, like talking or eating. Since then, Dr. Fritz has performed nine surgeries on Orozco to help soften scarring and improve her ability to speak.

This wasn't the first tragedy in Orozco's life. At 13, her mother died of kidney failure. Eleven days later, her father died in a car accident. Orozco and her brother, Kevin, were then raised by their grandparents.
But through it all, Orozco has never once felt sorry for herself. "This happened for a reason, and right now it must be terrible and horrible, but it has a good reason why it happened," she told Vargas about her accident.
In August 2007, Ruiz pleaded guilty to charges of rape and attempted murder. One month later, he was sentenced to 27 years, without the possibility of parole.
Two and a half years since that horrific day, Orozco knows she will continue the reconstructive and healing process for many years to come.
"We can make a lot of progress," said Dr. Fritz, "but if you look closely at her, I'm never going to make it look like nothing happened. I can't."
But nothing can slow down Orozco, who has turned her story into an example for others. She now speaks to groups of teenagers, urging girls to leave violent relationships and is lobbying for state legislation that would provide protection orders for threatened teens.
"There's something about her...she has just this indomitable spirit," Fritz said. "She's going to make the world a better place. She's unstoppable."

Happy "Fun-Filled Friday" everyone and what better day to have it than today on April Fool's Day? I mean, this has got to be the all-time best day ever invented, created, concocted or whatever it was. For all of you mischievous folks out there who find great pleasure in making practical jokes on unsuspecting people for this one day of the year, it's the perfect way to find a way to release all that that pent up frustration, anger, and need to freak the living bejeebies out of somebody you know and love. Aren't cultural celebrations totally awesome?! Hopefully you got in a jab or two at your co-workers, kids, and maybe even your spouse today. It's all a part of this thing called life that keeps it interesting. What's the best April Fool's joke you ever pulled on somebody?
Oddly enough, it didn't take a lot of searching on YouTube to find the most popular April Fool's Day video online–and I kinda wish I hadn't now. There's this kid named Fred who speeds up his voice to make it sound really high while he's running around making oddball faces while living his life. It's a rather strange concept for a fella who will probably find his way to Hollywood as an actor someday–if silly, idiotic antics could work for somebody like Jim Carrey, then surely Fred will get his due someday as well. This video about Fred on April Fool's Day has received over 11 million views. After you watch it for yourself, you'll wonder just how he did it:
Goofy, idiotic, and yet wildly popular. Go figure! For any of us who have ever started on a low-carb lifestyle change for the first time, maybe you can relate to stand-up comic John Pinette's experience trying to start his own version of livin' la vida low-carb:
HAHAHA! I remember those days. Ain't it good to know this isn't a "no carb diet" as he kept describing it? And you NEVER "come off" of it when you make it a permanent and healthy lifestyle change. But it's quite entertaining to make fun of it I suppose! This guy desperately needs to get him a healthy dose of some Gary Taubes:
Gary has been making the rounds sharing about his new book Why We Get Fat And What To Do About It, including a lecture in Cambridge, Massachusetts this week. It seems to me Gary has been getting more and more of these opportunities this go around promoting his new book compared with what he received in 2007 after he released Good Calories Bad Calories. Good for Gary! Keep it up my friend.
Christine and I started our embryo adoption journey in earnest yesterday and we're so excited about the possibilities that await us. After our failed IVF attempt in December 2007 when we pretty much put all of our hopes and dreams of becoming parents into that procedure only to have them dashed, this time around we are going into it realizing it's probably a long-shot that we'll get pregnant this way. But while we realize the reality is it probably will not happen, we are still believing that it can and will happen to give us the baby we have always dreamed of having in nearly 16 years of marriage.
And please don't bring up, "well, you could always adopt a child that's already born." That sounds like something nice to say, but it's so not cool. The red tape and expense of traditional adoption is horrendous and they make it extremely difficult for people like us who want kids to make it a reality. The IVF cost us $17,000, adopting domestically in the United States would cost $20,000 and international adoptions can run upwards of $40,000…and there's no guarantee you'll have a baby after spending all that money either. This embryo adoption process was around $7500 and there are donors with good eggs and sperm who provide embryos that have been frozen to help people like us. For the next few weeks, Christine will be taking a series of shots, patches, and such to prepare her body for carrying a baby (or two!) if the embryo transfer that happens on April 27, 2011 results in a pregnancy. Here's a video we shot yesterday showing all the drugs involved in this:
Remarkable isn't it? And Christine is quite the trooper for going through all of this again just like she did in 2007 for the IVF. We're going to have two embryos transferred into Christine later this month and we'll know for sure if she's pregnant after we return from the Low-Carb Cruise on Monday, May 9, 2011. It's possible we could have as many as four babies (if the embryos implanted split) or none at all. Like I said, we're trying to stay grounded in the reality that this is more likely going to result in not being pregnant so we're not as disappointed as we were after the IVF. But deep down inside we are praying that this is the right thing to grant us our wish of being parents at long last. THANK YOU for standing alongside us in this process!
Okay, how about some interesting headlines that have been stacking up in my inbox:
- Are Americans just a bunch of dummies? That's what this Newsweek poll concludes after asking 1,000 Americans some basic questions about the United States. For example, nearly one in three don't even know Joe Biden is the vice-president. Another 44% don't know what the Bill of Rights are. EEEEK! If our future as a nation is truly "imperiled by our ignorance" concerning our history, how much more truth is in that statement as it relates to what Americans know about diet and health? Scary to think about!
- I recently came across a column in the Salmon Arm Observer by registered dietitian Serena Caner that asks the simple question: "Can you put the blame on carbs?" She details how carbohydrates have played such a strong part of her own culture that they can't possibly be the reason for why we're fat these days. She claims people who try to eliminate carbs from their diet remove "many essential nutrients" and avoid the very foods that are lowest in saturated fat and cholesterol. Therein lies your problem, Ms. Caner. When you cut the carbs from your diet, dietary fat and cholesterol are what you want to replace them with for energy and healthy nutrition. And this idiotic notion of constipation (something one of "The 5 Worst Promoters of Nonsense" Dr. Mehmet Oz brought up last month on his show featuring Gary Taubes) is just silly. Drink plenty of water and that's just not an issue. I appreciate that this RD recognizes that carb consumption should not be "a large quantity" but she's so missing the boat about the positive role saturated fat plays in this equation. PLEASE EDUCATE YOURSELF!
- Have you ever wondered what drinking one little 12-ounce can of sugary soda day over a year looks like in terms of sugar? My friend Ken Leebow shows you here . Still wanna drink that stuff ever again?!
- Dr. Joseph Mercola shares reasons why we should all be eating more grass-fed beef for conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) . If you wonder what the consequences of consuming grain-fed beef can be on your health, he tells all the dirty details in that column, too. Even CNN gets in on the debate about what cows are being fed. The moral of the story: EAT MORE GRASS-FED BEEF! Check out a farm near you by visiting EatWild.com .
- Spam! No, not that gelatinous "meat" stuff that you buy at your grocery store. I'm talking about that never ending influx of e-mails that clog up the inboxes of innocent people every single day. You can't even imagine how much of it I have to sift through on a daily basis even with a spam filter. Have you ever wondered how much money a spammer actually makes sending this stuff to you? This Wired article tells you–man, I'm in the wrong business! LOL!
- For all you overweight Christians out there, I just thought you'd like to know why: this new study says it's your church-going habit that makes you fat! I'm not joking here either. Perhaps there's some merit to this concept for Southern Baptists (of which I've been one for most of my life) because of all the carb-laden church potluck dinners. But feeding your soul with the Word of God will NOT make you obese!
- Shhhhh! I don't want to let the cat out of the bag or anything, but I've got a whole boatload of prize giveaways lined up for my 6th Annual Blogiversary Contest this month. It's hard to believe I've been blogging so long, but I've made it a tradition to celebrate by having lots of free giveaways–and this year's grand prize is something you'll get to share with ME! Let that whet your appetite for now and we'll provide more details sometime in the next week. I promise you don't want to miss out on this!
- If I went on a flight and had to watch Richard Simmons tell me the safety stuff, I'd need to use the hurl bag. This is an actual video used by Air New Zealand at the beginning of each flight:
- The nanny state in Venezuela is alive and well now that their president Hugo Chavez has called on his citizens to cut their caloric intake . He seems to think people get fat solely from eating too many calories–not much different than the conventional wisdom dietary advice promoted in the United States, Canada, the UK and the rest of the civilized world. UGH! Can you imagine if one of the leaders of these nations improved their weight or beat their diabetes eating a high-fat, low-carb lifestyle? Game changer!
- I love the work of Dr. John Briffa in the UK and I found this video of him combatting the cholesterol myths that still pervade our culture. Is the tide finally starting to turn?
- This column from Precision Nutrition is a pretty good basic primer on why low-carb diets work and how they can help improve fatty liver disease.
- Did you hear about the French vegan couple found guilty of neglect this week after their 11-month old daughter died from vitamin deficiency? These vegans avoided all animal products and fed their newborn just breast milk leading to a severe lack of Vitamin A and Vitamin B12 which increased the baby's susceptibility to infections as a result of the "unbalanced diet." Veganism is well-known for leaving people who eat this way deficient in B12 and other essential nutrients that would be missing from a mother's milk if it is not consumed in her diet. This couple now faces up to 30 years in prison if they are convicted of "neglect or food deprivation followed by death." Do you think this couple should be convicted of a crime or is this just a sad tragedy?
- As if you needed another reason to avoid cholesterol-lowering statin drugs like Lipitor, how about because it's linked to developing diabetes ? NEVERMORE will I take those health-robbing drugs again!
- Registered nurse Jackie Eberstein asks, "Where Are You on the Road to Type 2 Diabetes?" I'm looking forward to hearing this RN who worked directly with the late, great Dr. Robert C. Atkins for 30 years in his complementary medicine practice in New York City share her lecture on the upcoming Low-Carb Cruise on May 1-7, 2011 . Jackie also sent me a thought-provoking piece from an MD entitled "Staying Healthy — It's Complicated" who is now dealing with pre-diabetes requiring him to be mindful of his carbohydrate intake. Is the unintended consequence of obsessing over cholesterol numbers for so many years actually an INCREASE in blood sugar disorders? It's hard to argue otherwise.
- Physicians like that one above could stand to learn a lot more about the role of carbohydrates in obesity and chronic disease by taking part in the educational modules presented by Innovative Metabolic Solutions featuring Dr. Mary Vernon and Dr. Eric Westman teaching a 14-week course on all the ins and outs of this way of eating. CME credit is available to medical professionals and even educated laypeople like my readers can participate as well. They just lowered the price on going through this sensational course that I HIGHLY recommend to anyone wanting to learn more about low-carb diets from the clinical perspective.
- Hey, have you heard about the new series coming up this summer on Animal Planet? It's called "Sweet Avenger" featuring the owner of a cupcake company called Vegan Treats named Danielle Konya who "promises to make a vegan out of you at first bite." She states that her purpose is "to show people that by eating a vegan confection, you're directly saving the lives of cows, chickens and thereby the environment and habitats of thousands of other exotic species" and that "there's nothing appetizing about the suffering of 10 billion animals a year, and my treats can satisfy both the palate and the conscience." Uhhh, okay. The show will feature people who allegedly have no interest in veganism and Danielle will try to win them over to a dairy-free, flesh-free and egg-free diet. GOOD LUCK WITH THAT! Whaddya wanna bet these "treats" are just LOADED with sugar…who wouldn't want to eat that?! Duh! Doesn't make it health.
Speaking of vegans, take a look at the latest propaganda from PETA in their war against meat:
And as if stuff like this isn't bad enough, PETA is also running a "Why should PETA neuter you?" contest (THIS IS REAL!) where the winner will receive a free vasectomy! O…M…G!!! What's really sad is how many people actually buy into this sort of nonsense. It's more people than we care to admit–but that's why sharing the truth as we do here at the "Livin' La Vida Low-Carb" blog is what drives me to continue on in my crusade to educate, encourage and inspire everyone who visits.
That's it for this special extended edition of "Fun-Filled Friday" this April Fool's Day. Just a heads up that we won't be having a "Fun-Filled Friday" next week because I'll be heading up to Baltimore, Maryland to attend a low-carb science conference presented by the Nutrition & Metabolism Society and the American Society of Bariatric Physicians . Christine and I are excited about visiting that area and we'll be doing LIVE tweeting and Facebook updates from the event which I'll be blogging about next week. You can follow my Twitter feed by clicking here and my Facebook page here . We also have planned a special meetup with Baltimore low-carbers for Sunday, April 10, 2011 at 3:30PM–details coming up soon! THANKS for reading my blog and giving me the privilege to share about my low-carb journey with you.

This anthology provides readings for use in courses designed to introduce students to African-American philosophy. Although recent debates regarding affirmative action, race, and racism are prominent in philosophy texts, a much broader ,perspective is needed to deal more adequately with issues of major concern to African-Americans. Indeed, this volume presents a wide range of issues that emanate from a history of African-American thought regarding social progress. I have based the selection on my experience teaching a variety of courses in philosophy departments, as well as in interdisciplinary studies programs, at several universities. In a philosophy course on African-American social and political thought that I taught at Stanford University the philosophical questions underlying the historical debates were the main focus with an eye to contemporary issues. When I taught a humanities course on philosophies of social change at Wheelock College, I emphasized the historical significance of the arguments within very specific social and political contexts, for in this interdisciplinary studies course, African-American philosophy was one of several components. Nonetheless, the reading for both courses included classic nineteenth-century texts and articles by twentieth-century writers.
Patterned along the same lines, this volume incorporates writings by historical and contemporary authors from many disciplines into a format that includes writings by philosophers, a format that opens dialog across disciplines. This serves a twofold objective. For the benefit of instructors and students who lack a background in African-American studies some of the basic ideas informing African-American thought are represented in many of the speeches and essays. There is also a benefit for students and instructors who lack a background in philosophy. In the essays by philosophers the style and method of philosophical analysis are given an application to questions that have a bearing on social policy regarding African-Americans. The references listed under Further Reading at the end of each chapter provide a guide to important books and articles on each topic.
I would like to thank the Prentice Hall reviewers for their valuable insight and comments about the manuscript: Rita Manning, San Jose State University; Jay M. Van Hook, Northwestern College; and David Theo Goldberg, University of California, Irvine.
I would also like to thank John Perry, Chair of Philosophy at Stanford University and Theresa Perry, Dean of Humanities at Wheelock College, for providing me the opportunity to teach courses on African-American Philosophy. I am deeply indebted to my graduate teachers at U.C.L.A., Angela Davis, Bernard Boxill, and Ronald Takaki, for introducing me to the history of African-American thought.

Re: TheGodBen Revisits Deep Space Nine
I think this episode shows an interesting and subtle commentary on attitudes to homosexuality, and also uses the Trill symbiosis concept to good effect.
The thing is, I think the episode does a rather clever thing by reminding us that what comes naturally in sexuality isn't as straightforward as some people like to think. For the Joined Trill, the symbiont and its bank of past lives are part of the host (and vice versa), and their acting on and influencing the current host is an outgrowth of how a Joined Trill naturally works. And we see from Jadzia's friendship with Curzon's friend Sisko, and later Ezri's friendship with Jadzia's friends, that in most circumstances the past lives aren't suppressed or denied but integrated healthily into the current life. So past life informing present is natural for Joined Trills. As I'm sure we're all aware, one of the more common lines from those who are anti-homosexuality is the idea that homosexual acts "aren't natural", which seems to assume that the purpose of sexuality is straight-forward reproduction, and that any sex not geared towards that end is without purpose and so without justification. That of course overlooks the fact that intelligent species are drawn to have sex for a variety of different purposes - dolphins have sex for pleasure, bonobos have sex to reaffirm social ties and forge close relationships. Humans (a particularly social and intelligent species) do both; they have sex to affirm or forge close bonds of affection, and to enjoy themselves, among other reasons. So there's a lot more to "natural" than simple reproduction - and some humans have their sexuality focused on non-reproductive partners.
It seems to me that this epsiode cleverly reproduces this model in an interesting way. We know Jadzia is apparently heterosexual, so when we see her going after a woman we think "that's not normal" (meaning, not normal for her). But then we remember the key point: she's
a Joined Trill, and it seems that it
natural and normal for the symbiont part of the joined consciousness to seek out old partners (despite Trill society's efforts to suppress it). Or, in other words, the question of what's a "natural" and normal aspect of Jadzia's sexuality is a more complicated subject than might first appear. Is it normal for a baseline-heterosexual Trill to be drawn sexually to another member of their sex? Well, if they're both Joined, then yes. We're reminded that there's more going on in Jadzia Dax's sexuality than her host's heterosexual nature, if that makes sense. Taking it as an analogy for more general sexuality, we're reminded that in wider human nature there's more to the subject than simple reproduction. Jadzia's Joined Trill sexuality isn't one-note, and nor is real sexuality. Is it normal for a human to sexually desire members of the same sex? If they're a certain type of person, then yes.
On a note only loosely related, this episode does have (sadly) a bad case of "As You Know Bob" at the beginning, regarding how Trills work. Excusable, perhaps, because of how important it is that the audience understands the Trill set up - and naturally that reinforces the point that the symbiosis angle is integral to the episode.
We are all the sum of our tears. Too little and the ground is not fertile, and nothing can grow there. Too much, and the best of us is washed away.

Meet the toque behind the Street Eats truck
"Toque" means chef, and veteran Andy Johnson does short rib, restaurant-quality fare on the road
That would be the two Street Eats signatures: an expectation-defying ahi tuna that Johnson sears in a commercial kitchen leased from a sushi caterer. (Barrio Logan's Sushi on a Roll has little need for a hotline.) Those juicy tuna steaks travel inside a stubby refrigerator in the truck's 18-by-8-foot galley. When ordered, Johnson wields a generic, white-handled knife (he won't give a satisfactory answer to why his Wusthof knife case is parked, untouched, on the passenger seat). The sliced ahi tuna is presented like a ruby-red hand-held fan resting upon soba noodles (sesame oil keeps the noodles from sticking). This also comes with a Napa cabbage slaw dressed in a sinus-clearing wasabi vinaigrette.
Johnson's other signature dish is a short rib braised in ginger-and-soy sauce — it's sumptuous, mobile and practically a heroic act for a street vendor. Pre-made short ribs stay in a steam pan throughout service and are served with jasmine rice and a lemon grass jus.
"This is more chef-driven than most food trucks are," says Johnson, who, unsurprisingly, is a veteran restaurant toque turned food-truck chef.
Both Street Eats owners are restaurant-industry refugees: Rodriguez mainly as a front-of-the-house manager. Which explains why he's the truck's relationships-guy: He manages their Twitter/Facebook pages and sets up catering jobs for weddings, 60th birthdays and corporate soirees.
Johnson is best known for making coastal cuisine at places referencing the Pacific Ocean (Pacific Coast Grill, Pacifica Del Mar) as well as the Bridges at Rancho Santa Fe, a golf community.
What attracted the chef to a roving kitchen getting 8 miles to the gallon?
"Instant feedback. If someone digs what I'm doing, I know right away. And we wanted to be our own bosses," Johnson says and adds that his vision was to do restaurant-quality food affordably.
"I get to do my style of food and have fun and keep it under $10."
In short, San Diego's ever-exploding and still-underdog world of gourmet food trucks needed an Andy Johnson.

Looking Back at my First Solo 24 Hour Mountain Bike Race
Several months ago I had a plan going into the 2011 season.

As any good plan there was a few snags within this. My geared race bike, the Airborne Goblin, showed up a few weeks late which kept me on my fully rigid single speed for the 6 Hours of Warrior Creek, and kept me from racing the…Read More

In Glencoe, a free Jeep, bonuses and other perks to an outgoing parks director cost local taxpayers an extra $350,000.
And in Evanston, four administrators cashed in their careers' worth of unused sick and vacation time in a way that helped boost their pensions, costing an extra $1.2 million in pension payments.
Even with governments struggling to provide basic services, the tab for inflated pensions grows as Illinois does not take on reforms other states adopted years ago. Those with the power to stop it, including local officials and statewide lobbying groups, have the most to gain from the status quo. And the Tribune found many have — significantly.
The Tribune investigation of the Illinois Municipal Retirement Fund reveals:
Pensions for executives are routinely boosted with bonuses, car allowances, cash-outs of unused sick and vacation time, and other perks. Retirement checks can jump 10, 20 even 30 percent from the perks — a practice other states in the Midwest don't allow.
The lax rules and oversight cost taxpayers in Illinois nearly $13 million for just the top-level retirees in the last two years and perhaps as much as $145 million for all municipal fund retirees in the last decade. Now, several local officials are on course to bump their retirement checks by up to 45 percent.
No one is responsible for investigating excesses. In fact, local elected officials are often complicit in the padding.
Those in the system readily acknowledge these problems, then promptly lay blame elsewhere. Retirees say they don't make the rules. Local government officials argue the tactics are legal and have long been used to reward workers.
Pension fund officials say their job is to collect money, invest it and pay it out — not to police the system. Elected officials should be doing that, they say.
Yet recent Tribune stories highlighting excessively inflated pensions have prompted some movement toward reform. Municipal fund Executive Director Louis Kosiba says he's working with state lawmakers to tighten the rules. "Everything is on the table," he said.
Ripe for Abuse
The Tribune took an unprecedented, systematic look at the $22 billion fund that covers 180,000 nonemergency local employees, from lifeguards to village managers, in nearly 3,000 local governments statewide, not including Chicago, which has its own pension funds.
The average retiree with 30 years of service ends up with $37,000 annual pension.
Governments and their employees set aside enough cash that, over time, it should cover the eventual monthly retirement check. Those checks top out at 75 percent of former pay for those who worked at least 40 years.
To reach that, typical employees store away 4.5 percent of every paycheck. For governments, it varies. The fund figures out how much they should sock away based on formulas that assume workers get normal pay raises.
But the Tribune found top bosses are boosting their paychecks by tens of thousands of dollars a year and sending annual retirement income soaring above $100,000.
Suburban executives routinely command car stipends on top of five-figure bonuses and generous pay hikes, not to mention the ability to cash out months of unused sick and vacation time.

The goal of this research is to study the coolant parameter fluctuations in the operation mode and start-up period of a nuclear power plant (NPP) with a VVER-1000 water cooled-water moderated power reactor. The coolant pressure pulsations and vibrodynamic processes of the equipment were studied. A new systematic analysis of flow pulsations has been worked out.The measurement results of coolant parameter fluctuations in Unit 1 of the Volgodonskaya NPP are presented. The results of this research are to be utilized for the coolant analysis and detection of the processes that had not been covered in the project documentation but may affect the equipment reliability.
