CRESTVIEW — The north county's artistic and cultural renaissance continued in 2012.
School visual and performing arts thrived, a new performing arts series celebrated its first year, and a new organization linked the business and cultural communities.
Here are my picks for 2012's top five stories.
1. Big Red Machine marches in Rose Parade
After 14 months of preparation, the Crestview High School band represented the city, Okaloosa County and Northwest Florida in the Jan. 2 Tournament of Roses Rose Parade.
The adventure began with a September 2010 phone call to CHS band director Jody Dunn, who recalled he didn't recognize the number on his caller ID and took the call out of curiosity.
"I thought it was a joke," Dunn said. "I had to call back the next day to make sure it was real."
Working to raise more than a quarter-million dollars to fund the trip to Pasadena, the Big Red Machine found broad community support from parents, friends, businesses, civic leaders and local artists.
The Okaloosa County Board of Commissioners at its Dec. 6, 2011 meeting designated January 2012 "Crestview Band Month."
2. Chamber of Commerce establishes Arts & Culture Committee
The Crestview Area Chamber of Commerce placed emphasis on the value of arts and culture in the community as an integral part of the quality of life.
"It really is a question of livability," committee chairperson Rae Schwartz said. "About a year ago, (Crestview City Councilman) Charles Baugh and I ended up at an all-day workshop with the Florida League of Cities that reminded us that businesses looking for a location or to relocate look at the livability of a community.
"That includes a lot of things, including recreation, shopping and schools, but it also includes cultural things such as the arts."
The committee also benefits professional visual and performing artists, Schwartz said.
"Another thing people forget: (for) people who are artists and performers, this is their business," Schwartz said. "This is how they make their living.
"We're hoping to bring those folks into the chamber community. It will be good professionally and it will be good for us."
3. Chamber calendar opens to community organizations
The Crestview Area Chamber of Commerce's Arts and Culture Committee expanded the chamber's online calendar to be a "true community calendar," committee chairwoman Rae Schwartz said.
Establishing a one-stop resource where everything happening in the north county region can be found has been one of Schwartz's longtime goals.
"How many times have you missed an event because you couldn't find the information in time, or never noticed it at all?" she said. "How often has your group planned an event only to discover that it conflicts with other events on the same day?"
Community organizations may place their events on the calendar free of charge at www.crestviewchamber.org.
4. Crestview High lipdub becomes a YouTube hit
The six-minute, 41-second Crestview High School lip-synch video, or "lipdub," that captured school spirit and the community's enthusiasm is still racking up views on YouTube — nearly 200,000 to date.
The all-student production was May graduate Ben White Jr.'s vision.
"It was a month-and-a-half of planning and we only had four or five practices with the singers," Ben said. "The majority of the people in it were spontaneous."
Industry experts who viewed the production praised White's preparation and groundwork.
"It is easy to imagine the large amount of pre-shoot organization and planning required by that project," three-time Emmy Award winning retired NBC News producer/director Paul Yacich said from his New Orleans home.
"If that were his only talent, he would still be qualified to set up complicated productions. A lot of effort went into that."

5. Crestview community theatre returns
With its Nov. 16 and 17 production of "Arsenic and Old Lace," the return of a Crestview community theater troupe became a reality.
The Warriors Hall production was the first show of a thespian group formed by Sean and Sandra Peters and folks at Journey Java Connection.
Filled seats in Warriors Hall indicated the community craves live theatre, even when two shows were running simultaneously, as happened that weekend when "Arsenic" clashed with the high school drama program's production of "It's a Wonderful Life."
The show also proved the hall in the Whitehurst Municipal Building can accommodate theatricals, raising calls for the city to put in some theatrical lighting to increase the value of Warriors Hall as a community resource.
The new troupe meets at Journey Java Connection. Call 398-8814 for details.
Honorable mentions
Baker Block Museum hosts state Folklife program
The Florida Folklife Program of the Department of State's Division of Historical Resources displayed local history, heritage and traditions Aug. 14. Baker Block Museum, among its Heritage Village's historic buildings, hosted the occasion.
The dogtrot house's porch served as a stage for a daylong program featuring discussions with state folklorist Blaine Waide. It included demonstrations of local traditions including beekeeping, storytelling, Bluegrass music, pine needle basket making and a performance by fiddler Samantha Purvines of Laurel Hill.
"You've got very distinct music and song traditions in the Panhandle," Waide said. "In folklore, we don't just study things in the past. We study continuity and change."
Journey Java establishes downtown arts center
A Main Street coffeehouse established by a Methodist preacher and his wife steadily blossomed into more than the downtown community outreach originally envisioned.
The Rev. Sean and Sandra Peters' Journey Java Connection has become a focal point for visual and performing arts. Wall space is dedicated to area artists, open-mic nights attract area performers, art classes teach a variety of visual techniques, and the Peterses' love of theatre has led to the café becoming the home of Crestview's new community theatre troupe.
Mix in killer scones, lunchtime sandwiches, Otis Spunkmeyer cookies, frozen drinks and bagels, and the non-profit establishment draws a diverse crowd, including serving as the chamber of commerce Art and Culture Committee's monthly meeting place.
Chamber wine gala attracts its largest crowd
Sultry jazz music, aroma of cooking gourmet foods and the pop of wine bottle corks filled the air at Sunshine Aero Test Flight's hangar at Bob Sikes Crestview Airport Sept. 29. More than 200 attendees mingled around tables featuring cuisine from multiple area eateries, wines from around the world, and silent auction items.
Dennis Mitchell, the Crestview Area Chamber of Commerce's president-elect, said one of the things attendees found most appealing was the event's unusual location.
"I would ask people, 'Have you ever been to a wine gala in an airplane hangar before?'" Mitchell said. "When they say, 'No,' I tell them, 'There's a reason. This is the first one.'"
The gala in its first year took place in a festively decorated tent in the chamber of commerce parking lot.
Last year, it was in CCB Community Bank's lobby.
Who knows where it will be in 2013, organizer Lynn Yort said, but a goal is to highlight member businesses.
CHS produces spring musical, revives drama program
The Crestview High School Thespian Society and Drama Club production of "The Sound of Music" in May was more than a delightful evening at a classic Rodgers and Hammerstein musical.
It was a major collaboration between community drama supporters and a school that lost its academic drama program.
Local drama professionals pitched in with parents and enthusiastic students to pull off the show, building sets, designing posters and programs, and coaching student performers.
Restoring the school's drama classes with the new school year led to November's production of the stage version of Frank Capra's slice of Americana, "It's a Wonderful Life."
That was good news for the nearly 100 students eager to learn stagecraft and have performance opportunities.
For several, it's the first step to studying theatre arts in college.
FOTA launches performing arts series
A night with Gulf Coast classical pianist, orchestra conductor, author and music instructor Dr. David Ott launched a series of performances in Warriors Hall by Friends of the Arts, the evolution of a committee formed to acquire and maintain a piano for the hall.
A highlight was a night of swing, big band and jazz music performed by the DownBeat Jazz Orchestra. In addition to tunes belted by vocalists Gina Walker and Sandra Daggs, the audience was treated to a demonstration of "juking," a free-form urban dance style.
The Friends of the Arts meets monthly at the Crestview Public Library.

Past Grammy Awards Outfits That Wouldn't Fly at the 2013 Show (PHOTOS)
In case you haven't yet seen them, here are CBS's wardrobe "advisory" ;for the 2013 Grammy Awards, airing February 10. Fashion no-nos include "see-through clothing that could possibly expose female breast nipples" — yes, "female breast nipples" — and "'puffy' bare skin exposure" in "the genital region."
Here are the full-coverage rules in full:
"Please be sure that buttocks and female breasts are adequately covered. Thong type costumes are problematic. Please avoid exposing bare fleshy under curves of the buttocks and buttock crack. Bare sides or under curvature of the breasts is also problematic. Please avoid sheer see-through clothing that could possibly expose female breast nipples. Please be sure the genital region is adequately covered so that there is no visible 'puffy' bare skin exposure. Please avoid commercial identification of actual brand name products on T-shirts. Foreign language on wardrobe will need to be cleared. OBSCENITY OR PARTIALLY SEEN OBSCENITY ON WARDROBE IS UNACCEPTABLE FOR BROADCAST."
Once you've digested the network's anti-sideboob and "buttocks" rant, click on for flagrant violators from years past.

Shade grown, certified organic, and Fair Trade. Bolivia is a country of very small farmers who have been left out of the gourmet coffee market until just a few years ago. Recent investments have made it possible for some of these farmers to develop quality growing and processing techniques, and the result is some excellent coffees now coming from this region. As with all of our coffees, this is certified Fair Trade and organic, to ensure the farmers will have every reason to continue producing this fine coffee for years to come. Grown at 4600- 6000 feet, the Cenaproc won 1st place in a recent cupping competition of Bolivian coffees. The Cenaproc is sweet with clean, delicate fruity flavors, a mild chocolate finish, and balanced with a nice caramel acidity. To keep the more delicate flavors intact we recommend a medium to full city roast, but it will hold up to a darker roast as well. Sorry, due to limited supply there is an order limit of 10 lbs. per customer.

Produced by the members of APECAFE in the San Mauricio region of El Salvador. One of our favorites, this is a rare coffee from the highlands in eastern El Salvador, the source of some world class coffees in the past few years. The cooperative of small farmers who grow this coffee suffered greatly from the civil war in El Salvador. They had to pay war taxes, and their coffee processing facilities were burned in the guerrilla attack in November,1989, thus leaving them unable to collect and process coffee during that period. During the postwar times many co-op members were kidnapped and extorted to pay ransoms to criminals who were mostly ex-militants. Most of these small producers are Mayan ancestors and they dedicated their productions in memory of their ancestors by continuing to grow and harvest their coffee in harmony and religious respect for the environment. Times continue to be difficult for these farmers due to the low prices of coffee, which is why the Fair Trade prices are so important. The coffee is organically grown under a rich canopy of shade trees, making the farms a sanctuary to many migratory birds and other endangered local species. The coffee has a rich flavor and fragrant aroma, with a pleasant earthyness and a hint of cocoa. We recommend a medium to full city roast.

Built for performance and show, the Typhoon® Air Intake System is a free-flowing mandrel-bent aluminum tube induction system designed to fit many sport compact performance vehicles. Each kit is proven on a rear-wheel dynamometer to increase horsepower and torque. Typhoon intakes come in one of three designs; cold air intakes (CA), short ram intakes (SR), or complete cold air (CCA) intakes which can be configured as either a cold air intake or a short ram intake. Available in an assortment of powder coated colors and polished aluminum, these kits are sure to please in every way. They come with an oversized High-Flow conical air filter designed to provide increased surface area and dust capacity. This extra surface area provides even more airflow at lower restriction than a standard K&N O/E replacement filter that is limited to the size of the factory air box. The oversize air filter also captures more dirt increasing the service life before a cleaning is required (up to 100,000 miles).
Calif CARB notice: Some Typhoon Air Intakes are not legal for use in California and other states adopting California emission standards while others are CARB exempt and 50 state legal. Check the K&N catalog or website vehicle parts search for specific CARB status. 63 Series Intakes (AirChargers) are street legal in most states. They are not legal for use in California and other states adopting California emission standards. Please verify Calif. CARB status with the KN website or by calling them direct on all air kits.

To The Editor:
Once again I'm perplexed at our representative Adam Greshin's inability to understand the economic reality of American democracy. Federal largesse? Really? This is our money we're talking about. If it were up to all progressives and most liberals, the federal government would be responsible for all health care as is the case in all other advanced nations, none of whom spend even half of what we spend on health care while getting better results than we do.
If it hadn't been for Republican obstructionism, we would have had a single-payer federal system, getting rid of the for-profit system that inflates costs so much. So, if we had a federal single-payer system, would that be federal largesse? In that our Vermont Democrat-led Legislature had to deal with an inferior model, I think they've done reasonably well. Or, are you saying Governor Shumlin did this all by himself?
Likewise with transportation and health and human services. This is our money coming back to us in the form of block grants. Yes, Adam, I also would prefer that all our money stay in Vermont and that we pay for our own, but the vast majority of our taxes go to the federal government so that isn't possible. We have relied on the feds in the past and we will rely on them in the future. But you must know this. So what's your point here? You know that without a radical restructuring of the Constitution, money will need to come from the top. Are you suggesting secession? Or are you suggesting an austerity budget similar to the one that is destroying the economies of Europe? Both are dangerous fantasies. But that's the problem, Greshin's piece doesn't clarify, it obfuscates.

HAZARD – A Perry County man serving 10 years for manslaughter was denied shock probation during a hearing last week.
Eric Ison, 21, was indicted in January 2012 on one count of murder stemming from a motor vehicle crash two months earlier, during which Ison was driving under the influence when he struck a vehicle being driven by 68-year-old Bobby Napier of Breathitt County. Napier died from injuries sustained in the crash.
Ison pleaded guilty to an amended charge of second-degree manslaughter during a hearing in Perry Circuit Court in June of last year. His plea bargain would include a prison sentence of 10 years to serve.
Ison's attorney, James Hampton, appeared in court on Thursday where he requested that Ison be released from prison early on shock probation. Ison, who was not in court, was 20 at the time of the indecent, Hampton noted, and this was his first felony charge.
"He does accept responsibility for his actions," Hampton said. "He accepts responsibility for driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs, and accepts responsibility for the consequences."
Commonwealth's Attorney John Hansen was joined by Napier's sister in court. Both objected to Ison's early release from prison.
"The defendant did something extraordinarily stupid," Hansen said in his objection. "He got stoned and drunk out of his mind and went driving. You just don't do that. And as a result, he killed someone."
Circuit Judge William Engle denied Hampton's request, noting that he feels Ison's early release would unduly depreciate the seriousness of his actions. Engle added that he considered all of the factors in the case, including the indictment and resulting plea bargain, and Ison's young age in his decision.
"Considering all the factors involved, I don't think shock probation would be appropriate in this case," Engle said.

Welcome to the blocked list
Jets suck, Bills suck, Patriots suck.
It's too bad such a good, hard working guy is such an annoyance. Hearing about him constantly is so annoying. If the interest or "media circus" that comes QB Tebow didn't exist he'd probably be a good addition to any team assuming he'd change positions. Instead nobody wants anything to do with the guy and its mostly not his fault. I would never want the guy on Miami simply for the distraction he brings.
Andrew Luck VS New England
0-4 with 6 TD's and 10 picks. Not sure "Suck for Luck" helps in our division. Maybe we stop the "meaningless wins" talk.

Effective Community-Based Solutions to Encampments
Ending homelessness is about protecting and furthering human rights. Balancing health, safety, and community impact concerns created by encampments of people experiencing homelessness can be challenging, but there are solutions.
Across the country, many communities are wrestling with how to create solutions for people experiencing homelessness in encampments. Depending on variables such as terrain, visibility, and accessibility, encampments can take multiple forms, including groups of tents or semi-permanent structures on public or private property. Oftentimes, encampments occur on land which has never been intended for any human habitation. Unfortunately, the first response to encampments often considered by communities and elected officials are ordinances that criminalize certain behaviors, such as panhandling, sitting and/or lying on public sidewalks, and camping. However, criminalization measures are not real solutions. Real solutions result from strategies and responses that help people living in encampments achieve permanent housing.
As such, USICH believes that encampments also are not a solution to homelessness—as encampments do not provide permanent housing outcomes, nor do encampments best serve those who are experiencing homelessness. Encampments only offer a temporary and reactive response to homelessness. Encampments—regardless of whether or not they are officially sanctioned or publically or privately funded—can distract communities from focusing on the real solution of connecting people experiencing homelessness with safe, stable, permanent housing. Encampments also create risks for their inhabitants related to safety, health, and sanitation. The costs associated with trying to ensure the well-being of people living in encampments can be spent more strategically to create permanent housing and services options for people experiencing homelessness in encampments, which will decrease overall homelessness in a community.
However, USICH firmly believes that prematurely dispersing people from encampments is not an effective approach to addressing the issue of encampments. Dispersing people from encampments is costly, contributes to distrust and conflict, and is a short-term intervention at best. Many people who live in encampments have nowhere else to go and may be experiencing chronic homelessness and/or be extremely vulnerable due to disability or illness. As described in USICH's publication Searching out Solutions: Constructive Alternatives to the Criminalization of Homelessness, providing people who live in encampments with access to permanent housing is the solution to encampments.
To help support communities that are seeking to connect people living in encampments to permanent housing, USICH is documenting the strategies and best practices successfully implemented in communities to address the issue of encampments. Below is a sneak peek of the common themes and solutions that will be highlighted in a forthcoming publication, which will serve as guidance to communities working to end homelessness for people living in encampments.
Successful Strategies
Examples of strategies that communities can implement to address successfully the issue of encampments by connecting people to appropriate housing options include:
- Preparation and Adequate Time for Planning and Implementation: Plans for creating solutions to encampments should ensure that there is adequate time for effective collaboration, outreach, engagement, and the identification of meaningful housing options to occur. Adequate time is essential to achieve the primary objective of meeting the needs of each person and assisting them to end their homelessness.
- Collaboration: Any plan should include collaboration between a cross-section of public and private agencies, neighbors, and business owners. Any plan should feature strong relationships with a broad range of community service providers and the permanent housing resources that are being targeted to the effort in order to maximize efficiency, align resources, and address any system gaps.
- Intensive and Persistent Outreach and Engagement: The agencies responsible for collaboratively implementing the plan should have strong outreach experience and demonstrated skills in engaging vulnerable and unsheltered people.
- Low-Barrier Pathways to Permanent Housing: The plan should include clear, low-barrier pathways to attaining and sustaining permanent housing opportunities and should not include a focus on relocating people to other encampment settings.
Community Examples
Below are examples from three communities that have encountered the challenges that accompany homeless encampments and have responded with effective, people-centered strategies.
- Between 2010 and 2012, St. Louis, Missouri (population 318,172) was faced with four adjacent riverfront encampments, in which approximately 60-70 people were living. As described in their detailed report Moving Forward: Policies, Plans & Strategies for Ending & Preventing Chronic Homelessness (2012), city partners made great strides in each of the four recommended strategies described above, resulting in housing solutions for all camp residents.
- In Asheville, North Carolina (population 85,712), homeless service providers, police, and the Department of Transportation are currently working together to create solutions for several small encampments. Police, who participate in Crisis Intervention Training, are involved mostly in the initial stages of the outreach effort but work with other partners to avoid unnecessarily arresting camp residents. Asheville has seen an 82 percent reduction in chronic homelessness, which is largely contributed to the collaborative efforts of these engaged partnerships.
- Members of the Colorado Springs, Colorado (population 431,834) Police Department collaborated with local service providers to become better informed about the needs of people experiencing homelessness. They worked to improve relationships with providers and their clients, and they became resources for outreach forming Homeless Outreach Teams (H.O.T). Their model won the 2010 Herman Goldstein award for community policing and inspired the Wichita Police Department in Kansas to follow in their footsteps and devote full-time officers to work with service providers and people experiencing homelessness. (For more information, the USICH Blog piece by Officer Nathan Schwiethale of the Wichita Police Department's Homeless Outreach Team can be found here.)
These examples illustrate that a comprehensive approach to addressing encampments is the right solution for communities and for the people who experience homelessness in encampments.
For communities that are still struggling with this issue, please continue to share your lessons learned. USICH is eager to learn from communities that are planning, collaborating, and engaging with community stakeholders in order to connect people living in encampments with meaningful housing options. As USICH prepares a publication on this topic for release later this year, we welcome input and suggestions, case studies, and examples of policies and materials that can help inform and strengthen this planned publication.
Please share your lessons learned with us; contact your USICH Regional Coordinator.

Step 1: Gather parts
Hollow Wall Anchors #6-32 X 2-3/8"
SUPER Tool hanger
Scrap Closet rod with a flat side.
Step 2: Prep parts
Step 3: Assemble
I never said this was hard..
You have to first mark where the wall anchors are going to be and then pound them into the wall and screw them all the way tight so that they're anchored to the wall. Then, when you screw it through the closet rod, the threads will catch.
Be very careful about hardware store tool hangers. The rubber or plastic coating can melt your nitrocellulose finish on instruments at contact point, especially Gibson. A guy I know used the same thing and ruind the finish on all his guitars.
Feel free to click a link on my blog if you feel like supporting the cause.
Either way, enjoy the project. Let me know if you have any comments or suggestions - always receptive to any kind of feedback. STICK IT TO THE MAN!
Read your comment about wiamusic.com. I met those guys at NAMM this year. They won best in show for their guitar hangers. I am marketing them in my shop Off the Wall Music in So. Oregon and Distributing throughout the US through Farley's Musical Essentials. Love 'em. How did you find the hangers? Tell me what you can about wiamusic.com.

"A full belly makes a dull brain."
Benjamin Franklin
"A full belly makes a dull brain."
Benjamin Franklin
Most of us make most of our eating decisions based on how they're going to make our bodies look. But it's worth remembering that our diets affect how our heads operate, too. Brain function depends on an enormously complex system of chemicals and electrical impulses, and the fuel we put into our systems can make a big difference on how we process our information, our moods, and our energy levels. The good news is that what's good for our heads is also good for our tails.
This isn't a medical journal, but we'll try to broadly discuss what causes some of our major brain functions (or malfunctions). Brain cells communicate with each other through a series of chemical reactions triggered by neurotransmitters. Some of the major neurotransmitters are catecholamines like dopamine, epinephrine, and norepinephrine, speed up brain reaction time, and other neurotransmitters, like serotonin, which cause the brain to relax. Amino acids like tryptophan (found in seafood, soy, meat, eggs, and dairy) can help trigger relaxation, while other amino acids like tyrosine (found in chocolate, beans, nuts, and seeds) can rev things up. So by introducing food and beverages to the mix, you can either excite or inhibit these processes. In essence, if you play your diet cards right, your refrigerator can be as effective as your local pharmacist or bartender.
Brain cell membranes rely heavily on fatty acids, especially omega-3s. It's no coincidence that fish is called "brain food"; the highest, healthiest levels of omega-3s are found in oily fish like salmon, sardines, tuna, and herring. Other good sources include canola, walnut, and extra-virgin olive oils; flaxseed; fresh coconut; nuts; seeds; and avocados. Some studies have shown that upping the omega-3 levels in your diet might help stave off dementia and Alzheimer's in old age. It's still important to remember that while some are healthy, all fats are highly caloric and should be consumed in moderation. As with any food group, too much isn't a good thing. Eating too much of anything can cause unhealthy insulin responses, which can end up doing more harm than good.
Carbs can have the most immediate, noticeable effect on your brain function. In fact, about 20 percent of your daily carbohydrate supply goes solely toward brain function. But the type of carb greatly affects the response. Ask anyone who gives their toddler a juice drink and watches them spin out of control. Just like a hit of sugar can give your body a jolt of energy, it also gives your brain a jolt. But watch out for when the sugar gives out. It may seem like a good idea to swig a Coke before that big test; but while the sugar may give you an initial rush, the following crash can be devastating.
However, carbs aren't the enemy. They are a great source of tryptophan, which affects the brain's serotonin levels—which can then help regulate blood pressure, sleep, and appetite. Carbs are great fuel for the brain, but it's better to get them from complex carbohydrate sources like fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and legumes with high fiber contents. The fiber causes you to absorb the energy more slowly and steadily, avoiding the peaks and valleys of many processed snacks. It's one of the reasons that dessert is best saved for after meals instead of between meals. When you have low-glycemic food, like meat and vegetables, in your stomach, dessert will have less of a roller-coaster effect on your mood. Eat sweets in the middle of the day, and watch out! High-glycemic foods like cookies, candy, sodas, etc., can give you a sugar high, quickly followed by a sugar coma, when eaten on an empty stomach. Because of their empty calories, we'd recommend avoiding sweets altogether, but if you must indulge, always do it on a full stomach.
Meals and snacks containing protein are your best bet for maximum alertness throughout the day. That coffee and doughnut might get you out the door in the morning, but there will probably be a dip in energy shortly thereafter. Eating protein raises your tyrosine levels, which provokes chemical messengers to increase brain activity and alertness. Lean meat, poultry, and fish are your best sources as you get the healthy protein without the artery-clogging fat that can restrict blood flow to your brain. Legumes, nuts, and seeds are great vegetable sources that combine good complex carbohydrates and protein without a ton of calories or unhealthy fat. You also don't need to go nuts with the protein. A serving that is the size of the palm of your hand should produce the neurotransmitters necessary to get you through to the next meal. If you have a big test or meeting that you want maximum brainpower for, three chicken breasts aren't going to give you three times the neurotransmitters. In fact, overloading on calories, regardless of whether they're from carbohydrates, proteins, or fats, is going to slow down the brain.
There are lots of micronutrients, especially in fruits and vegetables, that can increase brain function. B-complex vitamins, and choline in particular, are vital for good brain function. Choline, found in eggs, has been found to enhance memory and reaction time and reduce fatigue. This is why it's such a prevalent ingredient in "smart" drugs and supplements. Gingko biloba has also been shown to increase memory. And the benefits don't stop with being book smart. Adding choline and other brain-healthy supplements to runners' diets has been shown to help reduce their running times and increase their physical activity. After all, it's your brain that tells your muscles what to do. It's one of the reasons Beachbody includes choline and gingko biloba, among many, many other brain-boosting ingredients, in
ActiVit® multivitamins.
To get the most brainpower for your buck, you should try eating three small meals with three small interspersed snacks to your blood sugar regulated and your brain equipped with a steady, but not overloaded, fuel supply. Any diet should be a balanced supply of protein, carbohydrates, and healthy fats, and should be supplemented with a good multivitamin and omega-3/fish oil supplement. The best foods include:
Protein. Lean beef, chicken, turkey, eggs, salmon, tuna, soybeans, peanut butter, nuts.
Carbohydrates. Bananas, broccoli, Brussels sprouts, leafy green veggies like spinach and collard greens, oatmeal, whole-grain bread, brown rice, sweet potatoes.
Fats. Avocados, olive oil, flaxseed oil, walnut oil.
AVOID: Alcohol, processed sugars and flours, high-fructose corn syrup, artificial sweeteners, hydrogenated fats, nicotine.
Two-egg spinach omelet
Whole wheat toast, lightly spread with peanut butter
Mid-morning snack
Small handful of almonds
Salmon filet (4 ounces)Romaine salad with broccoli, chickpeas, tomatoes, cucumbers, and avocado with tablespoon of olive or flaxseed oil and lemon juice or vinegar for dressing
Mid-afternoon snack
Small handful of walnuts
Stir-fry chicken breast (4 ounces, chopped) and vegetables (carrots, beans, peppers, onions, garlic, broccoli, etc.) in one tablespoon of olive or canola oil
Brown rice
Banana and yogurt

On April 15, 2013, at approximately 5:37 a.m., the Vermont State Police received information that an armed robbery had just occurred at the Mac's Market located on Route 100 in the town of Warren. Investigation revealed a lone male entered the store and displayed a gun to the clerk and demanded money. The male was described as being over 6 feet in height, approximately 280 pounds, dressed in all black clothing, to include gloves and a mask covering his face. The male then fled the scene with an undisclosed amount of cash and merchandise. There were no other customers in the store at the time of the robbery and the store clerk was not injured.
The investigation is ongoing and the state police are asking anyone who may have witnessed any suspicious activity, vehicles or persons in the area to call (802) 229-9191, or to submit an anonymous tip, simply text "CRIMES" (274637) to Keyword: VTIPS.

Last year, Google launched a feature called SearchWiki that allows users to customize search results. If you are logged in, you can remove search results, promote them at the top of the search results page and enter comments. While the feature is useful to personalize the results for frequent queries, the "wiki" component was only an afterthought.
Check the SearchWiki page for "google" and you'll realize that the 27511 notes recorded by Google aren't very useful. Comments aren't helpful, even though Google tries to rank them by usefulness.
A similar feature is now available in Google Toolbar. Google Sidewiki lets you enter comments about any web page and shows some of the best comments in a sidebar. The feature is integrated with Google Profiles, so you can find more information about the author and read other Sidewiki comments.
Google notifies you if there are comments about the current page, so you need to send your browsing history to use the feature.
Sorting the comments by date wouldn't be a great idea, because spam and silly comments like "lol" or "cool site" would be prevalent. That's why, Google developed a ranking algorithm that takes into account many signals: user votes, author's authority, text analysis. Danny Sullivan says that "Google has a language sophistication detector now, and one that works in the 14 different languages that Sidewiki supports".
Learning some information about a site, finding if a certain company is reputable or reading a comment that corrects some errors from an article - all are use cases for Sidewiki, but it remains to be seen if Google manages to rank comments properly.
As with Knol, Google encourages experts to post comments in Sidewiki: "What if everyone, from a local expert to a renowned doctor, had an easy way of sharing their insights with you about any page on the web?" Unfortunately, experts don't have an incentive to post comments and isn't always easy to distinguish experts from opinionated users.
Larry Page once said that Google wasn't supposed to be a search engine. "We built a ranking system to deal with annotations. We wanted to annotate the web--build a system so that after you'd viewed a page you could click and see what smart comments other people had about it. But how do you decide who gets to annotate Yahoo? We needed to figure out how to choose which annotations people should look at, which meant that we needed to figure out which other sites contained comments we should classify as authoritative. Hence PageRank."
