Slow Food Ready For Berlin Demonstration!
09 Jan 14
Once again, Berlin is gearing up for Wir Haben Es Satt (We Are Fed Up): a huge demonstration against industrial farming that has taken over the city center every January since 2010. The demonstration, organized by a broad coalition of civil society organizations including Slow Food Germany, sees farmers, consumers, chefs and beekeepers, along with animal welfare, environmental and anti-GMO campaigners, take to the streets to call for a change to our food system and an end to factory farming.
Taking place on Saturday January 18, the main speaker of the closing rally this year will be Carlo Petrini, president and founder of the Slow Food movement. Following the demonstration, during a series of presentations, Petrini will be joined by Slow Food Germany President, Ursula Hudson in a discussion on youth in agriculture, together with the German Small Farmers' Association (AbL), and various other organizations of young farmers.
As in previous years, the Slow Food Youth Network (SFYN) in Germany is also playing a key role, organizing events in the run up to the demonstration. With Berlin the birthplace of the action that makes a bold statement about food waste known as Disco Soup - an event that went global in 2013 with events in New York, São Paolo and South Korea – SFYN is bringing the event home. On the night before the demonstration, they inviting members of the public to come and join them as they chop kilos of vegetables that would otherwise have gone to waste (accompanied by live music). A huge soup will then be made from the vegetables and served to demonstrators the following day.
The demonstration is held in January to coincide with International Green Week, the world's largest agricultural fair, and importantly, the Global Forum for Food and Agriculture attended by more than 80 departmental ministers, including EU Agricultural Commissioner Cioloş – both held in Berlin at this time. The demonstration will therefore be held in front of both an international and political audience. In 2013, despite freezing temperatures, an estimated 25,000 people came to the event.

Mexican Pro Wrestling VS Japanese Pro Wrestling
Ok, now I know that American/Canadian pro wrestling is scripted, but what is the difference between Japanes and Mexican prowrestling in the world of mixed martial arts.
Mainly I wish to know what was combined to make Kazushi Sakuraba's style, and Dos Caras Jr's style.
Yes Koto got his name changed, quit asking...

As far as Mexican pro-wrestling goes, Satoru Sayama (founder of Shooto) did acknowledge he was influenced by Mil Mascaras (real name Aaron Rodriguez) in an interview ( http://www.puroresu.com/articles/sayama-mascaras.html ). So apparently there is also a connection between Mexican pro-wrestling and MMA. Not as big as the one between JP PW and MMA though.

Film explores life of former Pacers star Leonard
TERRE HAUTE, Ind. - Terre Haute native and former Indiana Pacers star Bobby "Slick" Leonard is the focus of a new documentary expected to be released in March.
Filmmaker Ted Green tells the Tribune-Star (http://bit.ly/16XC3cf ) many basketball fans only know Leonard as the color announcer on the Pacers' NBA radio broadcasts who exclaims "Boom, baby" after 3-pointers. But he says Leonard "represents Hoosier basketball" with his roles at Terre Haute Gerstmeyer and Indiana University and in the ABA.
Green has visited Terre Haute with the now-81-year-old Leonard and plans more trips to find photographs of Leonard in his youth and city scenes dating from the 1930s.
He says Leonard deserves induction into the Naismith Basketball Hall of Fame in Springfield, Mass., for his three ABA titles and 387-270 record in the league.

In 1995, a 7-year-old boy died when he was injected with what was later discovered to be the wrong medication during routine, elective ear surgery. While this case is remembered for many reasons, most especially for the tragic and unnecessary loss of the young boy's life, it is also remembered within the health care community for the organization's--Martin Memorial Medical Center in Stuart, FL--immediate response and openness in sharing with the boy's family and, later, other health care organizations, the steps taken following the event to prevent such medication administration errors from occurring in the future.

So as you can tell I have really slacked on keeping up with this. I do believe that it is good for me to document and share with you my work, and adventures. After on the edge of the shelf, I visited a few places and caught up with a few friends. Stopped by Canberra, Gundaroo, Sydney, went to Wallington winery, and eventually flew to New Zealand. Here are a few images from that part of summer/winter.
For the past month I have been at on the edge of the shelf, a international wood firing conference. The conference was held at one of the most beautiful places on earth, Mystery Bay NSW. For almost a month I had the pleasure to converse, create, build, fire, eat amazing food, learn, teach, swim, fish, and dive with over 40 amazing artist from all over the world. It will probably take me the rest of my life to process the amazing experiences I had with this group of people. Words, and pictures will never do this experience justice, but I feel that sharing with everyone just a bit will somewhat explain the happening that occurred. The people that gathered together at this event are now a beautiful tribe, and will never forget what we all shared. I walked away from this event sad, and joyful all at the same time, but I look forward to crossing paths with the people I met in the future. We created something so magical, and beautiful it will live with me forever. I miss my tribe, but I know we are all doing amazing things out there in the world.
The kiln has been cooling the past two days, and me and josh have been getting some exploring done. Tuesday we went to Clifton beach cliffs, where we hiked, climbed, and jumped along the rocks. We saw some amazing landscapes/seascapes.
Today we went to Mt. Field national park, and hiked up to the tarn shelf. Another incredibly beautiful place here in Tasmania. Tarns are small lakes on top of these amazing mountains. To much adventure to type about with my iPhone. Here's some pictures from both adventures. Hope everyone enjoys, it was a pretty special time in my life.
For the past month, josh, and myself have been making work here at the swipe residency at Ben, and Peta Richardson's. It's been a wonderful time of growing, learning, talking, and enjoying ourselves. We worked with local materials, and even used sea water to mix our glazes.(replacing soda ash) We loaded the kiln last week, and started firing Saturday night. We finished Monday afternoon, and it has been cooling the past few days. We're very excited to open it up, and see what the fire has given us. Hopefully I'll get that post up before to long!
Sunday we decided to take the day off, and take a little field trip to the Hobart farmers market, and Mt. Wellington. It was the first time for myself venturing to the big city. It's a beautiful city sitting right on the water, and Mt. Wellington to its back. It's about the same size as asheville, and I got a very similar vibe as well. After the farmers market we ate lunch at a burger place called standard.(we have a standard in asheville, but it's pizza) Once we finished up with lunch we took off for the top of the mountain. You can drive straight to the top which makes for a lot of tourists, like myself.(or as Josh would say I'm an adventurer not a tourist) Even with tons of people it was absolutely amazing up there, rocks cliffs, clay, and the ocean below. Josh, and I were running around, climbing rocks, and taking pictures all over the place. It was an incredible day off, and I'm again very thankful to have Ben, and Peta showing us around.

ADHD in Children Health Center
Choosing the Right ADHD Medication for Your Child
Side Effects of Stimulant ADHD Medications
Loss of appetite and weight loss are common side effects of stimulant ADHD medications. Concern for growth delay has been raised, but studies have found little or no significant delay. Children usually catch up later on. Most doctors believe in "drug holidays" during summers, although no studies have looked at this.
Stimulants are not considered to be habit forming when used to treat ADHD in children and adolescents. Also, there is no evidence that their use leads to drug abuse. However, there is a potential for abuse and addiction with any stimulant medication -- especially if that person has a history of substance abuse.
Nonstimulant ADHD Medication
Individual children respond to drugs differently; a child may benefit from one drug but not another. Because some children don't benefit from stimulant drugs, doctors have turned to other medications to treat ADHD.
Sold under the trade name Strattera, this is the first nonstimulant ADHD medication approved by the FDA. Like the stimulants, Strattera works on the norepinephrine brain chemicals. And also like stimulant drugs, Strattera is effective in treating and controlling ADHD symptoms. However, this medication is not a controlled substance and children are less likely to abuse the drug or become dependant on it.
Strattera is given in a single dose either in the morning or afternoon. Effects last until the next dose. It may be taken with or without food. However, some evidence shows that taking it with food will decrease any stomach upsets.
Side Effects of Strattera
Overall, Strattera is well tolerated with minimal side effects, according to the AAP. It doesn't cause many of the potential side effects linked to stimulants, such as sleeplessness. The most common side effects: upset stomach, decreased appetite, nausea, dizziness, fatigue, and mood swings. Generally these side effects are not severe, and only a very small percentage of children in clinical trials testing Strattera stopped this ADHD medication due to side effects.
There have been reports of slightly decreased growth in children and teens taking Strattera. It is recommended that children and adolescents be observed, measured, and weighed periodically while on this ADHD medication. Allergic reactions are rare but do occur, usually as swelling or hives. The doctor or other health care professional should be advised immediately if anyone taking Strattera develops a skin rash, swelling, hives, or other allergic symptoms.

Community Arts Festival
Today, Saturday October 20, 2012 is the day of the Community Arts Festival at Recovery Innovations at 701 n Miller Street in Wenatchee. This morning Martha Flores and myself visited there to check out the show and I of course wanted to interview Cody Stitt, the Director of non-profit Recovery Innovations, about the vent.
From Cody, who had a few pieces of his own in the show, I learned that this is actually their second such event, the first having been just this past spring.It started with an idea he told me that sprang from the fact that RI has weekly art classes for their participants. They wanted a way to let the students exhibit their work and as a fund raiser they decided to invite in some local artists who support the mission of community mental health.
And, there was no shortage of local talent who were willing to bring in some of their work for a good cause. Martha Flores and I really liked so much of the work there, that we couldn't help but to buy a number pieces before we left.
Represented there was the art of Kim Jeffers the "Yartist"… we brought home a steel puppy for our backyard made by Kim. Karen Dean's pottery with her special glaze was there in abundance and at great prices. Martha Flores couldn't help but to do a good deal of her Christmas shopping right there at Karen's table.There were pots by Terry Johnson, as well as oil pastels by Jerold Kinney and of course the oils and bronzes by Martha Flores and my own digital art. And, lest I forget there were the numerous pieces created by the various students/artists. All in all it was great to see the way RI has created a much more comfortable inviting environment as compared to how the place was twenty years ago when Martha worked for the old Chelan Douglas Mental Health in that same facility. And, from the top down Cody and his wonderful staff give off such a caring and encouraging vibe that I can't help but imagine the success the clientele must be experiencing there. What a great idea and I wish them all the greatest success with this fundraiser and anyone ready this today there is still time to get down to RI at 701 N. Miller street in Wenatchee. For directions call: 509 662 7105.

Re: KC ... to be fair, yep, LTIA --> Red didn't have the lush gorgeousness of, say, the buildups in Epitaph and ITCOTKC, there were some special moments like that wonderful spooky noodling with all the cool percussives in the middle of

Masses and masses of glorious pretension!
You picked out the most pretension parts of even the latter Crimson, :)
and yes coming to mind that Easy Money percussion interlude is fun. That band had something with Jamie Muir that they were unfortunately never able to fully realize. I think it came to pass in the 80s Crimson though that was more percussive and rhythmic.
Emerson's Tarkus was actually the subject of a concert in Japan where is was re-orchestrated for full orchestra.
The esteemed Tokyo Philharmonic Orchestra will perform Keith Emerson's progressive rock composition "TARKUS" newly arranged to an orchestral piece by composer/arranger, Takashi Yoshimitsu.
Here is Keith's comment on this inaugural performance.
"This is a great honour for me to have my music played and presented with such esteemed players!!! Arranger Takashi Yoshimatsu and orchestra play my work in a land I have grown to love since I first visited Japan in 1972 with my band.
I wrote the 'Tarkus Suite" 1971 in England. Artist WIliam Neal originally provided the imagery after I came up with a fictitious name for the music I was writing. It was a unique time frame of musical composition and experimentation for me as the changing times and the time changes for England became out of time. I left England as we all had to deal with political issues in subtle ways and it all played its part in the way of things until it grew to define a historic mark as to what is now known as progressive rock music that now falls into contemporary classical." -- Keith Emerson
Emerson recognizes that what transpired in English popular music during the late 1960s and 70s was a little more influential than some critics would have thought. In the hands of a great arranger, some of that stuff could be quite good, and the height of pretension.
also interesting
Takashi Yoshimatsu was born in Tokyo in 1953, and studied at Keio University (Department of Technology). He taught himself composition, joining a jazz and rock group, although he has studied under Teizo Matsumura for a short while. He became disenchanted with atonal music, and began to compose in a free neo-romantic style with strong influences from jazz, rock and Japanese classical music, underscoring his reputation with his 1985 guitar concerto.He argues for a "new liricism" and objects to unmusical "modern music". Yoshimatsu's supporters enjoy his easy, tuneful style and sense of the capacities of different instruments, although critics complain that his work is simply a post-modern jumble with little coherent theme.

A body of a man found Friday afternoon in an outdoor area near the U.S. Capitol has been taken to a medical examiner's office.
Few other details were being released, except that the body was discovered shortly after noon in an area known as Lower Senate Park, after an initial report of the discovery of an unconscious man.
The U.S. Capitol Police and Metropolitan Police are continuing to investigate. Neither the identity of the man nor the cause of death has been determined. Foul play is not suspected but has not yet been officially ruled out.
Police have reopened the area near the Capitol where the body was found, including Delaware Avenue between Massachusetts Avenue NE and C Street NE, which had been closed to pedestrian and vehicle traffic.
The body has been transported by the D.C. Office of the Chief Medical Examiner.

I've been playing Warcraft since Orcs &; Humans. It's great to see a site with the potential of this one for organizing the massive amount of information about the series.
I developed a keen interest in the lore while creating two custom campaigns for Warcraft III. Fall of the Lion was a retelling of the events of the First War. The Last Druid told the story of the mysterious high elven druids suggested in the Warcraft II manual.
I've been playing WoW since closed beta having won a spot through the comic contest. I currently play a druid on the Cenarius server, and am a member of the guild Evocati.

A research team conducted several experiments on patients and observed that amyloid plaques were more accumulated in the striatal area of the brain of PDAD patients than in PDD patients. Using advanced imaging techniques, the striatal amyloid plaques that occur in the living brain can be detected, through which PDD could also be differentiated from PDAD.
The research findings have been released in the Journal of Parkinson's Disease.
Several aged patients volunteered for the Arizona Parkinson's disease Consortium and Banner Sun Health Research Institute Brain and Body Donation Program. Autopsies were conducted on the brains of these patients. The program involved a longitudinal clinicopathological study on Parkinsonism, normal aging, and dementia. Evaluation was performed with brain, which included a diagnosis of PDAD, PDD without pathological AD, and PD without dementia (PDND). In addition, comparative studies were carried out with former observations on patients with AD without PD (AD), which also included non-demented normal control patients without parkinsonism (NC). Researchers graded amyloid plaque densities within the brain as sparse, none, frequent or moderate. The overall plaque score featured diffuse, cored, and neuritic. Separate scores were obtained with cored and neuritic plaques.
When compared to PDD, PDND, and NC patients, researchers determined that the neuritic plaque density and cerebral cortex total scores were higher for AD and PDAD cases. The PD patients with any type of striatal plaques indicated clinicopathological diagnosis of AD with 80% specificity and sensitivity. Regarding PDND, PDAD, and PDD, the presence of cerebral cortex plaques showed 100% sensitivity and were 48% specific. PDAD and PDD groups were 55% specific.

Saturday coffee.
We no longer go out for coffee on Saturdays.
Retirement has brought change to our world in unexpected ways. We can go to Peets on other less crowded days. Thursdays are good. Fridays seem worse than Saturdays.
The other day we were having a conversation about the changing nature of work. It has been an eye opener for me to realize that while I went to work during the day there were so many people who were sitting in coffee shops working on their computers.
Or at the gym at 2 in the afternoon.
Now that I have started my daily exercise routine I often find it is hard to even get on a treadmill. The place is mobbed.
And unlike at New View coffee, these people aren't working. Their buds are in their ears or plugged into the TV on the elliptical machine and they are totally into the workout.
While walking at a 4% incline and pushing my heart rate up, I've discovered Everybody Loves Raymond.
Speaking of the changing nature of work. I came home from the gym yesterday and saw one of our ever-changing members of the twenty-somethings that lives in the three-flat across the street. Some guy is always moving in or moving out. There are anywhere from four to six bikes changed to the fence. Weeks of uncollected plastic wrapped throw-aways are piled on the front stoop and the lawn is covered with cigarette butts.
The new guy was sitting in a broken-down wicker chair on the porch in his flannel pajamas, slippers, coat, wool cap, smoking a cigarette. At 3PM.
Yes. The changing nature of work in Logan Square.
Now that the jerks who legislate in Illinois have cancelled most of the lame duck session there is concern from some about the turnout for Thursday and Friday's rallies to stop the attacks on state employee pensions.
Others wonder why go if the House members aren't even going to be there?
This is not an issue for me. I wasn't planning on having tea with my legislator.
I was planning on going with my colleagues to demonstrate my extreme displeasure.
I don't really care if they are there or not. They will know we are there.
So far, the We Are One coalition of public employee unions are going ahead with their plans.
See you in Springfield.
Peter Kuttner permalinkDecember 29, 2012 6:35 pm
I'm confused. I thought retirement meant you stepped OFF the treadmill.
Bob Brill permalinkDecember 30, 2012 7:38 am
I REALLY hope that Madigan's ploy falls flat and everyone goes down to Springfield. The August rally was tragic for the little participation from IEA. "Nothing's going to get done this session" is not a reason to skip this. Many of us are still on break (as we were in August) and won't be when the new legislature meets. We have to let Springfield know how we feel.

Design Tip:
The Value Of White Space
by Larisa Thomason,
Senior Web Analyst,
NetMechanic, Inc.
"Above the fold" isn't just a newspaper term. On the Web, it refers to the part of a Web page that appears in a visitor's browser without scrolling. It's the most valuable part of the page - and everybody in an organization wants that prime spot. But, in trying to please everyone, Web designers often try to stuff too much inside too small a space.
Remember the value of white space. It makes your page look more attractive, professional, and legible. All are key components of a successful Web site!
Get Active With Your White space
White space is a design term that refers to space that isn't occupied by text, images, or other visible page elements. The amount and use of white space is a key component of a page's readability and legibility. There are two kinds:
A page with too little white space makes visitors feel uncomfortable because the page seems cluttered and hard to read. Visitors quickly get overwhelmed and move on to a more welcoming site. In contrast, pages with too much white space seem empty, as if there's not enough content to fill the page. Visitors may wonder: "why bother with this?" and go somewhere else.
Used properly, white space is an integral part of a page's design and a large contributor to usability. The content feels structured, it's easy to find information, and the page layout works with the content to emphasize the most important information.
Designing With White space In Mind
So when you're designing or redesigning your page layout, consider how to use active white space to create a consistent look and feel. Create your own template or select a ready-made template with white space in mind.
A good page template includes active white space as an intentional page element that visually separates the navigation, content, header, and footer. Visitors can predict where the navigation and content areas will be as they jump from page to page.
Often, it's best to do your first page layout design on paper rather than coding it. You avoid the temptation to start adding the site logo and "just a little content" and instead focus on how the individual elements blend to create the whole effect. When you've spent a lot of time coding the example, you're less likely to change it - even if the page isn't that great.
Consider creating shadowboxes as content placeholders. You get a better feel for page weight and contrast without getting distracted by content.
Here's an example. With just a glance, you can immediately identify the blank areas of passive white space:
And in this example, you can see that there's definitely a need for a more organized and structured page layout. Although there's some active white space around the navigation, logo, and page header, the content area seems disordered and the long lines of unbroken text may be hard for visitors to read:
Fluid Layouts Can Affect White Space
A fluid layout is one in which DIV and TABLE sizes are set to percentages. In a static layout, the DIV and TABLE sizes are set to a fixed measurement. For instance, note the difference in these two opening DIV tags:
The browser display difference is obvious: in a fluid layout, visitors will rarely see a horizontal scroll bar. The page content arranges itself based on the width of the browser window. It's more flexible and gives visitors more control.
Which is exactly what many designers hate about fluid layouts! It's a lot harder to predict just where page elements will appear in relation to each other. Individual visitors may have completely different browsing experiences. Consider the display difference when a fluid layout is viewed full size on a 19 or 21-inch monitor compared with a 12-inch one!
When the layout adjusts to fit the browser window, there may be less active white space - or more passive white space!
There's nothing inherently bad about using a fluid layout. In fact, you'll get a big pat on the back from coding purists, but you will need to spend some extra time testing the layout in different size monitors. You want to make sure that the page is at least legible and understandable to all visitors!
When you test, check these three variables in particular:
While a fluid layout can change the amount of white space on the page, other techniques can cause even more problems - sometimes breaking the page entirely in some browsers! NetMechanic's Browser Photo tool helps you find and fix coding errors and design techniques that can turn visitors away. You can quickly view actual screen shots of your page in 16 different browsers, browser versions, screen resolutions, and operating system combinations.

By Jim GaramoneAmerican Forces Press Service
FORT BELVOIR, Va., Dec. 13, 1999 It's natural for service members entering a combat area to want protection. Up until now, so-called "bulletproof vests" have been heavy and not all that bulletproof.
This has changed with the introduction of Interceptor Body Armor. An Army and Marine Corps team has produced body armor that provides protection and trimmed about 10 pounds off its predecessor -- the personal armor systems, ground troops vest.
Army project director Kyle Hassler said the total system weighs in at about 16 pounds. The body armor can be tailored to fit the mission. "The vest alone will protect soldiers against 9mm rounds," she said. "If a soldier is on a peacekeeping patrol and they don't expect to face a lot of opposition, the vest alone will work.
"If the mission is more serious, then the soldier can add plates to the vest," she continued. "The plates and vest combination will stop multiple hits from 7.62 mm rounds."
The Army and Marine Corps realize not all service members are equal and the plates come in five sizes and go in the front and back of the vest. "The vest also has a quick release feature," Hassler said. "If you need to drop the plates, one tug and they're gone."
The vest comes with neck and crotch protection attachments. It will work with all current and anticipated load carrying equipment. With the fasteners along the right side, the vest still protects the front of the body even when open.
While Marines and soldiers will use the vest other services have expressed interest.
The interceptor armor is just the latest in a long line of bulletproof vests. During the Middle Ages, knights wore suits of armor, and common soldiers tried to outfit themselves against arrows and early guns.
The Spanish Conquistadors arrived on the shores of Mexico wearing metal vests designed to stop sword thrusts and arrows.
Researchers at Jamestown, Va., recently unearthed a metal vest early English settlers brought to America.
The U.S. military didn't place much confidence in bulletproof vests. The first bulletproof vests soldiers used weren't issued by the military. Union soldiers in the Civil War bought bulletproof vests from peddlers who traveled around Army camps in Northern Virginia. The vests were made of cast iron and were incredibly heavy. Not only that, they didn't work. Bullets would shatter the vest and cause many wounds instead of just one. The vests weren't very popular.
The U.S. military started researching and issuing what became known as "flak jackets" during World War II.
Bomber crews often returned from missions over Nazi- occupied Europe telling how the "flak was so thick you could walk on it." Each of those puffs of smoke in the sky contained thousands of pieces of shrapnel. In 1942, the Army Air Forces started issuing flak jackets to aircrews. These first flak jackets were heavy, but they did stop flak. U.S. officials had adapted the flak vest from the Royal Air Force. They were used by flexible position gunners in four-engine bombers like B-17s and B-24s. Some aicrew in medium bombers like the B-26 and B-25 also used them.
The flak jackets were steel plates sown into cloth. "They hung over the chest and stomach like a catcher's chest protector," said Bob Adair, an official with the Air Force Museum at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, Ohio. "They were pretty heavy." There was a helmet that completed the ensemble. The vest had a pull tab to dump it quickly if the plane ditched in the water or the crew had to bail out.
After the war, research continued to make flak jackets lighter and better. During the Vietnam War, many soldiers, Marines and airmen received flak vests. Again, the vests would stop shrapnel but not a bullet. "Those were hot, uncomfortable, heavy and bulky," said Scott Ferguson, collections chief at the Air Force Museum. "It was extremely hard to move around in them."
Most service members wore them without shirts. In helicopters, most service members sat on the vests.
The development of Kevlar and ceramic materiel in the 1970s and 1980s made real bulletproof vests possible. U.S. service members in hot spots around the world count on these armored vests to protect them as they do their jobs.

Re: Muscle Memory?
I think like most things its 'relative'
By that I mean relative to the individual (history of training, genetics etc), and relative to their overall gains in their program.
For example, if an individual has a long training history and are 50 years old they can probably outdo most 25-30 year olds in the world in most training weight training conditions. This is why 'being old' or aging is not just a chronological issue but also a 'biological issue.'
The second relative factor (to their overall gains) concerns a percentage gain relative to the normal gains they would normally get.
For example, just because someone is 50 and may not get the gains they recieved when they were 25, does not mean that they should not use a proper periodized training program. It just means the program may not be as effective 'absolutely' in terms of muscle mass and strength gains. But, from a relative standpoint they would recieve optimal gains.
The main thing to be sensitive to with age is that an individual needs to pay extra special attention to injury. So really paying close attention to warming up, and perhaps being cautious with the depth of progression of the stretching program

Italy's Alessandro Petacchi won the seventh stage of the Tour of Spain on Friday, but the action was overshadowed by the death of a Team Sky masseur. Txema Gonzalez, 38, died five days after he was taken to the hospital due to suffering from a virus that has swept through the British team.
Team Sky rider Juan Antonio Flecha of Spain withdrew from Friday's stage, hours after being treated for the same virus. Two other Team Sky riders, South Africa's John Lee Augustyn and Britain's Ben Swift, had pulled out of the event on Monday for the same reason.
All the Tour of Spain participants will observe a minute's silence for Gonzalez before Saturday's stage.
In the stage Petacchi pipped another sprint specialist, Britain's Mark Cavendish, to the line in a group finish at the end of the 187.1-kilometre ride from Murcia to Orihuela in eastern Spain. Belgium's Philippe Gilbert retains the leader's red jersey for a fifth day.
The stage itself was marked by an early breakaway by four riders -- Argentina's Jorge Martin de Montenegro, Martin Pedersen of Denmark, Germany's Dominik Roels and Russian Vladimir Isaichev. They built up a lead of more than 10 minutes but were caught just five kilometres from the finish.
Petacchi covered the course, which included one category-three climb, in four hours, 36 minutes and 12 seconds. Argentina's Juan Jose Haedo was third in the sprint.
The Italian thanked the other members of his Lampre team for their "good work" and admitted he had "trained very little before the Tour". The 36-year-old, who has been dogged by doping allegations, won the sprinter's green jersey at this year's Tour de France.

Beginner Pork Belly Recipe
The local Mexican market had pork belly on sale, 2 lbs. for around $3. I've never made pork belly in my life, but couldn't pass at the opportunity.
I'm sure I can find all kinds of fabulous pork belly recipes using Google, but I was hoping some Serious Eaters could provide me with an easy, tasty, beginner's pork belly recipe. I watch tons of cooking shows and it seems as if this is a favorite ingredient among chefs, but I don't even know where to start with this crazy fatty looking thing.
Any recipes/advice/help is appreciated. Thanks in advance!

The Department of Physical Education offers a major leading to teaching licensures in Health & Physical Education. Moreover, a major in Exercise & Sports Science is offered for students wishing to pursue study in topics like Athletic Training, Biomechanics, Exercise Physiology, Sport Management, and Sport Psychology.Both majors are firmly grounded in the liberal arts tradition, and emphasize the contributions of parent disciplines.The department also provides all Hamline University students with opportunities to develop the knowledge and skill necessary to be responsible for their own health and fitness throughout their lives.
Hamline University is in the process of phasing out the Physical Education major.
Current Hamline students who officially declared a major
or minor in this area by December 13, 2011, will be provided the opportunity to complete their
program of study. The major and minor will no longer be an option for
new students.
By early February 2012, a degree audit will be completed for all
students who have declared a major or minor in Physical Education. The degree audit
will help Hamline assess the time frame necessary for the phasing out
the program. The goal of the phase-out process will be to both assure
that the programmatic needs of those pursuing the major or minor are
met, and to establish a reasonable date beyond which offering individual
courses required of the major or minor will no longer be necessary.
If you have questions about these changes, please contact Jonathan Lowery at email@example.com.
More information about the changes to undergraduate majors >
The Hamline University Staff Association, the American Red Cross, and the Delta Tau sorority invite the Hamline community to their next blood drive on Wednesday, August 12 in Bush Center Ballroom from 10:30 a.m. - 4:30 p.m.
Major construction along Snelling Avenue near campus may cause traffic detours and delays this summer and early fall.

Faulkner edges Brame in playoff to win Henderson Invitational
Midway through his second round Sunday, Daniel Faulkner just wanted to get back to the clubhouse. He hoped he still had a chance.
The leader at the Henderson Country Club Invitational after the first round of 18 shot a triple bogey on the 18th hole, giving him a 42 after nine holes of play.
Defending champion Steven Brame, playing in the second-to-last group, surged to the top of the leaderboard from five shots back. Faulkner missed a birdie putt for the win on the ninth and final hole, but saved par with an 8-foot putt to clinch a playoff with he and Brame locked on two over par.
Faulkner shook his short game troubles on the playoff's first hole and Brame missed from about 8 feet, giving Faulkner his third Invitational title.
"I just didn't want to putt like I had been all day, scared," Faulkner said of his final shot. "Luckily it went it. If it didn't go in, I probably would have made a bogey and lost. It was just meant to be I guess."
Faulkner and Brame, Henderson natives, were teammates at Cape Fear Community College.
"Just like being out in college again," said Brame. "We'd go out in practice when we were there and play against each other a lot. It was fun. He's a great golfer. I'm glad he won. I'm happy for him. Just as well him as me."
"It brought up old times, playing for school and stuff," added Faulkner. "I didn't really care who won. I just wanted to do better than I've been doing all day. The timing was right I guess."
Faulkner held a one-shot lead on Michael Brewer entering Sunday after firing a three-under 69 on the first day.
"I felt pretty good about how I was going to hit it," said Faulkner. "It was just my short game."
Brame had his own struggles to start Sunday, making bogeys on two of his first four holes before getting back even through 10. Brame didn't know where he stood until he got set to tee off on his final hole. Then he saw Faulkner overshoot the green on the eighth hole and knew he was back in it.
"What a great finish," said golf shop manager Ken Young. "That was really nice to have a playoff hole with two of our local guys who everybody knows. That was really a good finish. The people that came from outside the area really seemed to enjoy the event too."
"The biggest problem was the weather," added Young. "It was more like March than May. But everybody seemed to deal with it."
Brewer missed the playoff by a shot to take third followed by Kevin Lassiter at six over and Jay Mills at seven over.
Warren Henderson claimed the senior title with a two-day total of 171 followed by Joe Allen's 172 and Eddie Martinez's 175.

Moving San Mateo County forward
Thank you to those who participated in the recent campaign to elect the District One supervisor in San Mateo County. The voters have spoken and I congratulate the winner.
While I might have lost a political campaign, none of us can afford to lose the opportunity in front of us. My hope is that you will continue to be active, continue to make sure your voice is heard and continue to demand the most of your public officials.
Winston Churchill said that "success is the ability to go from one failure to another with no loss of enthusiasm." I can say from experience that failure is not fun; however, failing to fail is a sign that you aren't testing the limits of what you are capable.
There is much work to be done. It will take our collective spirit to make sure that the major decisions of our elected leaders are done in a fashion that protects those most vulnerable, while making bold changes to the way government performs its duties.
Over the course of the campaign, I met so many incredible people. I am thankful I had the opportunity to hear their thoughts, better understand their struggles and priorities and to discuss creative ways to make government more effective. These are the people I fought to help.
From my perspective, for the good of the people around us who are struggling, we have to keep trying to help others — to make a difference for the better. If we don't try, we will never know what we could have done. And by just trying, we can touch the lives of so many.
I am dedicated to public service and I will continue to serve the residents of San Mateo County. I have passed my proposals on to the Board of Supervisors and will work with them in my role as a member of the City Council to tackle the financial crisis head on. I will continue to serve the state of California as a deputy attorney general. I will continue my work honoring my mother's legacy to provide new clothing to under-privileged children to give them confidence to succeed in school. I will continue to honor my brother's memory by awarding scholarships to local high school seniors who have persevered in the face of adversity.
But we all have to remain diligent. We all have to participate in the democratic process. I implore you to vote to make sure your voice is heard and to actively participate to move San Mateo County forward to be the jewel of the region with an identity as the home of caring, hard-working people at all stages of life thriving in a sustainable and robust economy.
Let's get to work.

August 5, 2015
AUSTIN, Texas (AP) - A Federal Reserve Bank of Dallas economists' report says Texas felt the full force of the recession as 2009 rang in. And according to the report -- the state's unemployment rate could jump to 8 percent as more employers slash jobs.
At least 296,000 jobs could be lost statewide this year, driving up the unemployment rate which was 6.4 percent in January.
While the national recession got underway in December 2007, Texas managed to avoid the recession longer than much of the country.
Fed economists Keith Phillips and Jesus Canas wrote in the Fed's quarterly publication on the region's economy that the state was in recession as this year started.
Austin and Dallas could feel some of the worst pain as the
economy continues to decline this year because they have more
exposure than other large Texas cities to cyclical industries.

Plan Features
Plan DescriptionYou have to look close to discern that this structure is not a single unit, but rather a duplex home plan with nearly identical mirror-image sides. The exterior is graceful with cedar shingles, horizontal siding and multi-pane windows. Each side opens with a single-car garage and a covered front porch protecting an angled entry. The laundry room, a half-bath and the garage access are just off the entry as well as a convenient coat closet. A vaulted great room with fireplace and eating space sits to the back of the plan--next to the modified U-shaped kitchen. A large pantry and a snack counter offer efficiency in the kitchen. The upper level holds two bedrooms - one is vaulted - and a cozy den opening through double doors. Both bedrooms share a full bath. Bedroom 2 is slightly larger in Unit B. Comfortable and functional, this multi-family house plan is well suited for a narrow lot.
Unit A: 1st Floor - 596 sf, 2nd Floor 601 sf, Total 1197 sf, 1-car garage
Unit B: 1st Floor - 596 sf, 2nd Floor 601 sf, Total 1197 sf, 1-car garage

Those Canadian Trendsetters!
Drinking Lessons, with Steven Crime
I, Audience
That's the question being asked via an interactive multi-media work currently on display at the Emporium. The brainchild of sculptor Lee Jines , sound artist Seva , digital media artist Micheal Tomlinson and painter/printmaker Gay Bryant , "Don't Let the Ball Fall, Y'all" considers the fate of the Sunsphere from more perspectives than the 'sphere has windows. There's a documentary video interviewing key city figures, as well as out-of-the-box thinking street-folk, about what our favorite golden ball means within the context of the city's identity. Seva contributes a sound-art piece entitled "Aue Borealis," pertaining to the sun, and an inflatable-looking sculpture nearby is paneled with photos of the 'sphere and whimsical musings.
But perhaps the most intriguing component resulted from the artists turning the microphone over to the people themselves. Wire screens are strung with illustrated proposals for what should be done with the landmark, and suggestions range from playful ("Move it to Sevier County," "Indoor soccer field," "Giant disco ball," "Bungee-jumping platform," and, of course, "Wigsphere") to varying degrees of feasible ("Nightclub," "Planetarium," "IMAX—project video on the ceiling about the history of Knoxville," and "Use it as a solar collector by day to light it at night"). Do what you want, one note warns, just don't turn it into a Wal-Mart.
The artists intend to donate "Don't Let the Ball Fall, Y'all" to the mayor's office shortly after the exhibition closes on May 26. Let's hope it gets the ball rolling.
Those Canadian Trendsetters!
"I've always been a big Romero fan [writer of the original Dawn of the Dead , Night of the Living Dead , Land of the Dead and so on]," says Luttrell. "I just love the mindlessness of zombies. It reminds me of society, how we are all programmed to devour and consume."
Along with his personal friends, Luttrell's recruited other zombie enthusiasts through the magic of the Internet, and expects anywhere from 20 to 100 ghouls to make it out. "It's not a big deal. We're not sponsored or raising money or anything like that. It's just, if you like zombies, dress up and come on out," says Luttrell, who plans to work his airbrush kit to achieve that au naturel, blood-drenched look.
The walk starts Saturday, May 13, at 7 p.m. on Market Square and will proceed through downtown and the Old City, no doubt stopping for zombie fuel, like Bloody Marys and maybe a few High Lifes, for irony.
Drinking Lessons, with Steven Crime
Crime told us that, if you want a sweet, pass-out buzz, then you need to be drinking more fortified wine. But, if you're especially adventurous, then you need to be guzzling Thunderbird , one of the most demonic drinks to ever pass FDA inspections.
The boozy guitarist recalled a memory of a gig in Atlanta—well, in truth, it wasn't much of a memory—when he downed a few Thunderbirds and...well, that's the end of the story, because this stuff's that potent, a veritable off -switch for the brain, crafted with the discriminating tastes of America's guitarists in mind.
I, Audience
"Anyone here ever been to Monroeville?" said Jon Worley , frontman for the bluesy, shoeless, hillbilly-and-proud-of-it Cornbredblues Band . "It's in the fourth most polluted county in the nation. I've been drinking the tap water there all my life. Only got a couple growths to report."
Jon Worley, the band's multi-instrument virtuoso, handles vocals, guitar, wurlitzer and harmonicas, backed up by Daniel Lancaster Barry on the sax and flute, Nashville's own Daniel Broaderick on Guitar, Shaggy on bass and Bobby Manley behind the drumset.
"We're gonna scream, sweat, bleed—and, we're gonna drink," Worley promised, just before playing some tight, thick, cornbred psychobilly, the kind of stuff that'll make you appreciate countrified folk.
Worley swears that he once played in a hardcore metal band until a particularly rowdy show generated a damage estimate that was well in the thousands. "I just figured it be safer playing some folk tunes," he told the crowd at Patrick Sullivan's. It's become a welcome stylistic change, because Cornbredblues is a singularity in the throwback, grimy country music scene. As Worley's wont to say, "They're holding down the fort."

We need legislators who put area first
In the editorial, "District 32, 33, 34 endorsements", you will find the Editorial Board's endorsements in the races for state representative districts 32, 33 and 34. This is the Corpus Christi delegation to the Texas Legislature.
The endorsements were arrived at after a great deal of discussion and debate. That's entirely appropriate because it's a big decision by voters. And it's a big decision for the Editorial Board, too. The trouble is that although state representatives are elected by different constituencies, the three representatives really represent the whole city, Nueces County, and the Coastal Bend when they get to Austin. Or I wish they did. That's not always true.
Call me an idealist, but I still think we send a legislative delegation that represents the city's interest, not the interest of a party or the wishes of a clique, or a faction. I know that in a partisan election candidates run under party banners. But one of the things I look for in the Editorial Board's discussions with candidates is whether they can put those ideological differences aside when it comes to a greater Corpus Christi interest.
I think one of the finer examples of that kind of "Corpus Christi first" outlook was demonstrated in the redistricting battle of 2001 by former state representative Vilma Luna. The Democratic majority that then controlled the House of Representatives drew up a redistricting map that carved up Corpus Christi, placing the Port of Corpus Christi and Texas A&M University-Corpus Christi in a district that would have been controlled by the Rio Grande Valley.
The only Republican legislator in the local delegation at the time, Gene Seaman, was effectively drawn out of his district.
Luna was one of only four Democrats to vote against the bill, even though Democratic ranks had closed behind the map. Luna's party loyalty would have been greatly enhanced if she had voted with other Democrats, but it would have gutted this area's political clout. She courageously chose to represent the best interest of the city first even to the point of fighting to conserve the district of a Republican.
Some of the campaign material I see for candidates treats the other party as if they were skunks at a picnic. There's no denying that partisanship is at an unhealthy level, probably more so in Washington, D.C., than in Austin. It was easy when everyone in Austin belonged to the same party, even if they were at opposite ends of that party's ideology. But as Texas has become a two-party state, it calls for real efforts at bipartisanship.
I figure every party has its village idiot, but it takes grown-ups to get things done, to fund schools, to get highways built, to encourage business growth, to care for society's most vulnerable. One that comes to mind was the former senator and lieutenant governor, Bill Ratliff. Ratliff, a Republican, was admired by both parties for his knowledge and passion on behalf of school finance reform. He is out of politics now precisely because he wasn't partisan enough.
Unity in our legislative delegations over history has been an on-and-off thing. On some magical occasions, such as in garnering Texas A&M University-Corpus Christi, it has worked. Other times, it hasn't been so good. But some fault in that must be borne by the political fractiousness in our midst. How can we ask legislators to get unified behind Corpus Christi when much of the local leadership is split. If one side believes that western Nueces County and Robstown is where the rainbow's pot of gold is and the other thinks that world stops somewhere west of Staples Street, it's hard to give a unified message to the area's legislators.
We don't need more elected leaders who reflect our worst instincts and aggravate our petty divisions. This city has enough people who nurse grievances and make a career of payback. We need to send people to Austin who are effective and who can be independent of party, even of their small circle of supporters, and can put the entire area first. That's a large part of what guided my participation in the endorsements you see.

Style: MMA / MT / BJJ--
Jake shileds is a elite grappler, with titles like:
Strikeforce Middleweight Champion
Elite XC Welterweight Champion
Shooto Middleweight Champion
Grappling Accolades:
2005 ADCC Submission Wrestling World Championships Bronze Medal
2005 Pan American Championships Gold medalist
2005 Gracie open superfight champion
Grapplers Quest advance champion (three times)
He is on a 15 fight winning streak since 2005.
I think this is a pretty good resume vs GSP, I dont think it will be a easy fight but I believe Jake Shields will be the dominate fighter on the ground and will pull off a second round submission.
Now to just hope I'm right.
Style: Sub-Grap/MMA--
Shields is worthy of the hype.
He may be one of the most boring fighters to watch but the fact that...
a. He's on a 15 fight winning streak.
b. He has World Class Jiu Jitsu.
c. He went up to middleweight and dominated Dan Henderson - Everybody's talking about GSP's wrestling but if Hendo could'nt keep the fight standing GSP may struggle also.
All go to show he could well be the guy to beat GSP (at Welterweight).
Dont get me wrong If i had to put money on it I would always go with GSP but Shields is more than a worthy opponent.

Style: Muay Thai--
Shields has a good chance chance on the ground, if he manages to get a hold of GSP, get him down, and keep him down. Which isn't going to be easy considering Shields' standup couldn't kill a fly, and GSP has stuffed or gotten right back up from guys with wrestling at the level of Koscheck and Fitch. And let's be realistic, Shields isn't invincible on the ground either considering Mayhem was about 5 seconds from putting him to sleep if the bell didn't save him.
I'm saying GSP by TKO in round 3.

For much of the 2011 season, the Pittsburgh Pirates threatened to snap their 18-season losing streak. In fact, they were a threat to the rest of the NL Central. At their high point July 19, the Pirates were 51-44 and had a half-game lead in the division. At season's end, Pittsburgh was a 90-loss team that finished 24 games behind the Milwaukee Brewers.
Offseason agenda: The Pirates are set in center with Andrew McCutchen, in right with Jose Tabata, at second base with Neil Walker and behind the plate with recently signed Rod Barajas. Beyond that, there are serious voids.
The corner infield spots are among the priorities. If it is unwilling to go the free-agent route at first base, Pittsburgh can slide Garrett Jones there from the outfield. But the wait (and weight) continues for third base prospect Pedro Alvarez. In 235 at-bats with Pittsburgh this past season, Alvarez hit .191 with 80 strikeouts. Only two NL teams got fewer RBIs from their third basemen than the Pirates in 2011. Pittsburgh has been linked to free-agent third baseman Kevin Kouzmanoff.
The Pirates' shortstop production also was anemic. They were 23rd in the majors in on-base percentage at the position, 27th in runs scored and 28th in RBIs. They just signed free agent Clint Barmes, who had just a .312 on-base percentage with the Houston Astros in 2011.
The Pirates also will be in the market for a corner outfielder, as Alex Presley (238 career major league at-bats) is penciled in as the starter in left. Among free agents, Josh Willingham, David DeJesus, Jonny Gomes, Conor Jackson and Cody Ross are options.
Pittsburgh shaved more than a run off its MLB-worst 5.28 rotation ERA in 2010, finishing with a 4.21 mark in 2011. Still, the starting five lacks a true No. 1 (or even a true No. 2). Expect the Pirates to attempt to upgrade.
Possible departures: Although their fade was under way—they were 4½ games out July 31 and would be 10 back by Aug. 7—the Pirates were buyers at the non-waiver trading deadline. Their big acquisitions, first baseman Derrek Lee and outfielder Ryan Ludwick, are free agents. The team would like to re-sign Lee, but Ludwick won't be back.
The Pirates declined the options of lefthander Paul Maholm and shortstop Ronny Cedeno; infielder Brandon Wood and outfielder Xavier Paul—a pair of failed reclamation projects this past season—also are gone. Catcher Ryan Doumit signed with the Minnesota Twins.
Backed by closer Joel Hanrahan, Pittsburgh's bullpen went from one of the majors' worst in 2010 (4.55 ERA) to a middle-of-the-pack unit (3.73) in 2011. By saving 40 games with a 1.83 ERA, Hanrahan became a valuable trade chip. However, it's tough to imagine the Pirates dealing a player who is both effective and affordable (Hanrahan made $1.4 million this past season but is arbitration-eligible).
Early 2012 outlook: The goal is clear: a .500 or better record. Helping the Pirates' cause is that the Astros don't leave for the AL West until 2013. Hurting their cause is that the Chicago Cubs should improve. The safe bet is a 20th consecutive sub-.500 finish.
NEXT: Houston Astros report

Lightweight, robust and offering nearly unlimited design possibilities, plastics are indispensable in shoe production. Polymers permit a wide range of models, from comfortable running shoes all the way to robust safety boots for construction sites. The plastic polyurethane (PUR) ensures optimum soles. Until now, PUR has been based on petroleum. But that is changing.
A shoe made from renewable raw materials
Bio-based raw materials can make shoe production more sustainable. This is why Bayer researchers have developed the "EcoTrekker" concept shoe, consisting almost entirely of renewable raw materials. These replace petroleum chemistry-based components and improve the CO2balance of slippers, high heels and co. The bio-plastics can keep pace with conventional materials in every way.
To discover how the experts at Bayer are making shoes more environmentally friendly, read here:
