On to the newsletter! This Water Log is – can it be? – full of good news. It's been a policy-heavy month, with decision-makers reaching deals on sustainably managing the Murray-Darling and the Colorado River Basins, two of the world's most economically important watersheds. Both plans make use of market-based instruments to ensure that enough water stays in the river to support ecological health. We also have a proposed Blueprint strategy for safeguarding water resources in the EU and a draft bill in the US Congress that calls on the Army Corps of Engineers to focus on ecological infrastructure to protect coastal cities against storm events like the recent Hurricane Sandy.
As always,
And finally, keep an eye out for our upcoming State of Watershed Payments 2012 report, scheduled for release in mid-January. Preliminary findings suggest this is going to be a good one. We'll keep you updated on the report launch as it rolls out.

Patriot Coal Corp. to stop mountaintop removal mining
MORGANTOWN — Bankrupt Patriot Coal Corp. agreed Thursday to become the first U.S. coal operator to phase out and eventually stop all large-scale mountaintop removal mining in central Appalachia under an agreement reached with three environmental groups that sued over pollution from several West Virginia operations.
St. Louis-based Patriot said the proposed agreement allows it to postpone as much as $27 million in expenses into 2014 and beyond, improving its liquidity and the likelihood it can successfully emerge from Chapter 11 protection as a viable business.
The deal comes as Patriot tackles litigation that must be resolved during those proceedings. The terms would be binding on any subsidiaries it sells or spins off.
Presented to U.S. District Judge Robert Chambers in Huntington for consideration, the agreement stemmed from water pollution lawsuits filed by the Sierra Club, Ohio Valley Environmental Coalition and West Virginia Highlands Conservancy.
The continuation or expansion of large-scale surface mining is no longer in Patriot's best long-term interests, President Ben Hatfield told the judge.
"Patriot Coal recognizes that our mining operations impact the communities in which we operate in significant ways," he acknowledged, adding that the agreement will reduce the company's environmental footprint.
In exchange for phasing out mountaintop removal and agreeing to caps on the amount of coal it produces from strip mining, Patriot gets additional time to install selenium treatment systems at several mines.
The agreement caps the amount of coal that Patriot can mine from surface operations at 6.5 million tons in 2014, falling to 5 million tons in 2017. By January 2018, the amount is limited to no more than 3 million tons a year.
Patriot says it will only conduct "small-scale surface mining" at existing and planned underground mines. That lets the company move ahead with plans to open the Huff Creek Surface mine next to a new underground mine.
Cindy Rank of the West Virginia Highlands Conservancy has long argued that if companies had to pay the "real costs" of mountaintop removal, it wouldn't be economically feasible. Selenium pollution, which studies have found is toxic to aquatic life, is one of those costs.

The Bachelorette
7 Biggest WTF Moments From The Bachelorette Men Tell All Special
The Bachelorette is the gift that keeps on giving. This week's episode was basically like the reality-TV version of a spa treatment — our skin is glowing and our body has been chemically peeled. Of course, "The Men Tell All" special is its own unique brand of crazy, so we've rounded up the most WTF moments of the episode. Which, by the way, was longer than Jessica Simpson's pregnancy.
1. The Wolf Shows Up In Pink Pants For No Reason
Our theory? He was trying to distract Vampire Hunter Alessandro from leaping off stage and murdering Chris Harrison. Think about it: Chris never appears in the sun and only crawls out of his bat cave for evening rose ceremonies. It's all coming together.
2. Emily Spills Wine All Over Herself
As we all know, Emily is addicted to boxed white wine. It's pretty much the only thing we saw pass through her mouth during this season of The Bachelorette (other than Arie's saliva). Unfortunately, Emily's glass of white wine rebelled against her and tried to commit suicide all over her dress, causing Emily to utter the sentence "f*ck, y'all."
3. Emily And Travis Sing "Twinkle, Twinkle" to a Giant Egg Named Shelley
Well, we have officially lost our hearing thanks to Travis and Emily singing their ostrich egg to sleep. We have so many questions, like a) What institution did Travis escape from and is he dangerous? b) Why did Travis tuck Shelley into bed only to murder her days later? c) Where is Shelley's Ostrich mom?
4. Michael Lance Still Has Long Hair, Doesn't Say a Word
Did anyone notice that poor Michael was silent like the grave during the entire "Men Tell All" special? We have a theory (so many theories today, by the way): There is no need for Michael to speak, because his hair holds all the answers to our questions. And don't even get us started on those lashes. Maybe he's born with it, maybe it's Maybelline.
5. The Ladies Love Ryan
Last time we checked, Ryan was one of the designated villains on the show, but the ladies in Chris Harrison's audience (bachelorette rejects, we assume) couldn't get enough of him. They were cheering him on like true fan girls, and we can only assume it's due to of the deep-V facial hair and mysteriously-tanned skin tone.
6. Emily Is A Super Freak, Super Freak, She's Super Freaky
So, turns out Emily isn't as demure and charming as she appears on camera. Not only does she curse like a sailor, she's a cat lady who spends her free time videotaping kittens. Basically, she's one YouTube channel away from being a Dungeons and Dragons gamer. Also, Emily has a thing for tattooed homeless men, to which we say: Who doesn't?
7. All The Commercials For Glass House
What. Is. Happening?

A bittersweet time of year in my house.
School is awash with colour (predominantly yellow, to be fair).
The children hunt for eggs and share their spoils, most of which are furtively consumed before breakfast.
Like a pseudo Hansel and Grete, they create a brightly coloured trail of silver foil wrappings for me to retrieve and dispose of.
The school children make their bonnets and parade them for mums and dads.
But it also marks the time of year when the two greatest women in the world passed away.
Lil, my nan was truly magnificent, as was her endless scrubbing of the kitchen lino. Easter Sunday marks the anniversary of her loss.
And her youngest daughter, Jean. My mum. As if complying with a long held appointment, 8 years ago this week she went off to join Lil. I can't think of a better place to go.
I don't feel sadness today; there are no tears. Grief does not necessarily sail in to shore on birthdays or anniversaries.
Mercifully, there have been no 'second comings'. That kind of thing can put the willies right up a person. I have placed a large bunch of flowers on the kitchen table in their memory, and each time I pass it draws my eye and elicits a little smile.
The birds are singing like crazy today. Happy Easter girls.

By Elaine WilsonSpecial to American Forces Press Service
FORT SAM HOUSTON, Texas, April 12, 2007 Retired Lt. Col. Charles Stein, a Holocaust survivor and World War II veteran, shared the tragic events that changed the course of his life nearly 70 years ago during a Days of Remembrance ceremony here April 10.
Each year, the United States begins a weeklong commemoration the Sunday before the international Holocaust Remembrance Day, which corresponds to the 27th day of Nisan on the Hebrew calendar. This year, Holocaust Remembrance Day, or Yom HaShoah, is April 15, a day set aside to reflect and remember a time of devastating loss.
"This is the darkest and most haunting of Army observances," said Army Brig. Gen. James Gilman, commander of Great Plains Regional Medical Command and Brooke Army Medical Center here, during the ceremony's opening remarks.
Stein's words illustrated the point. The 88-year-old vividly recalled the early days of Hitler's reign, and the events that led to the loss of most of his family.
Stein was 19 with high hopes for the future when he started medical school at a local university in Vienna, Austria, in March 1938. A day after Stein started school, Hitler crossed the border of Austria with his army, and Stein's school days were over.
"All Jewish students were no longer allowed at the university," said Stein, who watched Hitler parade down the streets of Vienna to the sounds of cheers and Nazi salutes. "I went home and told my parents, 'We've got to get out of here.'"
Austrians welcomed Hitler and his ideology, Stein said. He said that each day "storm troopers" would pull Jewish people from their homes and make them scrub sidewalks with their toothbrushes while people kicked and spit on them.
Stein took to the streets, which was, he said, the safest place to be. "My friends and I met every day and tried to figure out a way to leave," he said. "I went from one embassy to another but was turned away. There was no place to go."
In the meantime, he managed to get a passport, but with a "stateless" mark since his parents were born outside of the Austrian borders.
One day, in mid-July 1938, Stein met up with a friend in central Vienna. His friend had good news. He had heard a rumor that Luxembourg was giving out 14-day transit visas to stateless people. Stein later learned the visas were sponsored by a Jewish organization, which had made an agreement with the government to allow 200 Jews to cross the border.
Stein rushed over to the consulate to get his visa, and was able to pick it up the next day. His parents took him to the train station a few days later. "The last words I heard my mother say were, 'We will never see our son again.' Those words have haunted me my whole life."
Stein and his friend, Max, who had spent four months in a concentration camp, made it to Luxembourg without major incident. A skilled violinist, Stein worked as a musician and saved his money so he could hire a smuggler to help his parents escape. Stein communicated with his parents through postcards since the Germans censored everything else. He was able to convey an address for them to meet up with the smuggler.
"They walked through the woods to the border of Luxembourg and got within sight of the bridge when a German lieutenant stopped them," Stein said.
His parents were sent home. Stein was devastated. He focused on getting to America and found a sponsor through his mother's cousin in the states. It took him a year to get a visa. In August 1939, Hitler invaded Poland and war broke out. Dec. 19, 1939, Stein arrived in New York.
He took a job in the textile factory and applied for college scholarships. Instead, he was drafted into the Army two months before the attack on Pearl Harbor. Stein served in World War II in combat from Normandy to the Czech border and again during the Korean War. He finished out his career as an intelligence analyst for the Department of Defense and a diplomat for the Department of State Foreign Service.
In early 1946, Stein learned that his parents had been deported to the Lodz Ghetto in Poland in 1941, and in 1995, after extensive research, finally found out their fate. They had been gassed in 1942 at the Chelmno death camp.
Stein's parents were among the 6 million European Jews, including 1 million Jewish children, killed in the Holocaust.
As he concluded, Stein urged the audience never to forget the tragic events of the past and to pay attention to similar events happening today in parts of the world like Darfur, Sudan. "Please speak up," he said.

A 3-1 victory in the end, but not a very impressive one where actually the two central midfielders for Falkenberg dominated the first half. IFK played slightly better in the 2nd half. IFK might get away with this kind of performance against their coming opponent in the first round of the Allsvenskan Syrianska. But in the long run this is not good enough for a top placing.

When it comes to pets, Americans love to spoil their furry friends. According to a study by the American Pet Products Association, 62% of U.S. households own a pet (or 72.9 million homes), and Americans will spend an estimated $50.84 million this year on pets. One of the trends mentioned in this report discusses the increase in eco-friendly pet products on the market. Whether you have an animal with allergies or just want to " do your part" for Mother Earth, natural pet products are easier to find than ever.
Here's an overview of how your pet can be green too!
Buy collars, leashes and beds made with organic materials, like soy, hemp, cotton and bamboo, and recycled materials, such as plastic bottles and inner tubes. You can also find these items made with organic cotton or natural dyes, which lack the pesticides and chemicals of regular pet products (these ingredients also help with allergies). Charleston Naturally carries a line of doggie bed duvets, which allows you to build a bed by stuffing old clothes, towels or other materials into a stuff sack ($12-38). Aroo Studio collars and leashes come in a variety of colors and prints, and are made from sustainable fabrics like cotton and hemp.
Buy organic and natural food, treats and chews. Also, look for items that don't harm other animals, like elk antlers that fall of naturally. Dog bowls come in bamboo or other earth-friendly wood materials too. Guyot Design's squishy collapsible dog bowls ($14.95) are made of BPA- and polycarbonate-free silicon.
Look for natural products for all your pet care needs. Shampoos, flea spray, ear cleaner and more are now being made with herbs and other natural ingredients. Using natural pet care products keeps chemicals and harmful ingredients out of wastewater, and they are better for your pet's health. Check out all of our pet care products here ($7.98-23).
Other tips for earth-friendly animals include:
- Check the company's manufacturing processes to make sure they are doing their part. Using biodegradable and compostable packaging is always a plus.
- Rework your pet waste disposal. Cats can be converted to eco-friendly litter made out of corn, wheat, recycled newspapers. Dogs waste can be disposed of with biodegradable bags, or even a doggie septic tank.
- Buy local! Pet products made in the U.S. reduce carbon footprints. Buying from local, independent pet stores also does so and boosts your local economy.

Monarch Airlines grew passenger numbers 9.5% last year, to around seven million.
The UK leisure airline says the figures are the result of improved awareness of its scheduled network, the introduction of additional routes, and its market positioning "as a strong alternative to low-cost carriers in many scheduled leisure markets".
Bookings rose 37% over the Christmas period, as mobile bookings trebled.
Among the carrier's new routes for 2014 are London-Nice, London and Manchester to Tunisian destination Enfidha and Agadir in Morocco, and London Luton and Manchester to Naples.
Monarch expects to announce during the first quarter a $6 billion order for 60 aircraft for delivery from 2024. Airbus, Boeing and Bombardier are all still in the running.

Longtime track and field coach Pliner dies at 74
Terry Pliner, a longtime area track and field coach at the high school and collegiate level, died Jan. 7 following a battle with cancer.
Pliner, 74, was the head men's track and field coach at St. Norbert College from 1980 to 1989, and was an assistant from 1974 to 1979. He also was the head women's track and field coach from 1985 to 1991.

I am very proud to have announced Terry in the shuttle hurdles at Lisle nationals on August 3. Now we find that he passed away on January 7, just 5 months and 4 days later. It always hurts to lose the courageous ones.
jeff davison - January 14, 2013
Terry was great to talk with at the meets. He will be missed.
Terry was a big supporter of my efforts, and I greatly appreciate it.
Terry owned his own company and later sold the business to his relative.
Terry also volunteered for the GB Packers (tours, etc)
Mark Cleary - January 17, 2013
Terry was not just a Track & Field buddie and team mate, he was a good friend.I will always remember him for his great sense of humor with a sarcastic tone.He competed in many National meets and was always a big team supporter. I was caught off guard
when I got the news-in October he told me he was training and hoped to be ready for Indoor-sad to see you go so soon my good friend-but I will see you on the other side

Note: It appears that the M70-79 shuttle hurdle relay American
Record that Terry was part of has been approved.
It will take a while before it gets posted.
Shelley (Pliner)Schumacher - January 20, 2013
Bob, Fred, Terry and Jeff,
Thank you so much for seeing that this record will be confirmed. Our dad loved this sport and especially appreciated being able to compete with all of you this past August.
Shelley, Lynne & Todd
Jerry Feldhausen - January 24, 2013
Terry was my very good friend for over 40 years and we traveled many miles together – traveling to meets to compete (we were at both indoor & outdoor Nationals in 2012), traveling to meets to coach (we coached together at St. Norbert College for 15 years) or traveling to meets to watch (we went to a few USATF Nationals). I first got to know Terry through the Fox Valley Track Club that he established in 1963. You will always be my dear friend and I will miss you, but you will continue to inspire me to compete and train to be the best I can be.
Michael - January 25, 2013
Just a random observation, why is it that most people die just before their birthday? This makes it even more heartbreaking, I would think. Anyway, Terry Pliner will surely be missed what with his contributions to and passion for the sport.
Terry J. Pliner - February 13, 2013
Sorry to hear the news. Just found out 2-13 13

Joe Flacco swears he'll never get used to the attention that comes with being a star, but he is taking full advantage of this celebrity thing since winning Super Bowl XLVII.
The MVP of the Ravens' 34-31 win vs. the San Francisco 49ers two weeks ago, Flacco recently took in Tommy Hilfiger's men's runway show.
Flacco talked to Vanity Fair Daily before the event in New York, where his wife, Dana, joined him over weekend. "This is my first time at a fashion so, it's pretty cool," he said. "I thought it would be a pretty cool opportunity for my wife to come down here and get pampered."
Known for his aw-shucks, shoulder-shrugging demeanor, Flacco predictably screams casual. And that won't change even after he signs a likely long-term deal over the summer with the Ravens that could be worth more than $100 million.
Flacco accepted a Chevy Stingray with his MVP award the morning after the Super Bowl, immediately hopped on a plane to Orlando for an appearance at Disney World, made an appearance on The Late Show with David Letterman and now this.
"You know, I'm a pretty casual guy that likes to put a suit on for certain occasions," he said. "I try to pick out what she wears, and I'm more concerned with that than I am with myself."
The couple is expecting their second child.

Record coastal, river flooding possible with Sandy
Posted By Todd B. Bates On October 26, 2012 @ 11:33 am In Uncategorized | Comments Disabled
Hurricane Sandy [1] could bring record coastal and river flooding to New Jersey, the latest briefing [2] from the National Weather Service's Mount Holly office [3] reiterates.
A 10-foot storm tide, including the storm surge and astronomical tide, is possible along the Atlantic Coast and in Delaware Bay, based on where the storm center comes ashore, according to the briefing.
"This would result in record coastal flooding in some areas," the briefing says.
The briefing also has a list of "things you need to think about now," including reviewing your family emergency plan and being prepared to evacuate if local officials tell you to do so.

Below is the poem entitled Paper Pink which was written by poet
Gopela. Please feel free to comment on this poem. However, please remember, PoetrySoup is a place of encouragement and growth.
Read Poems by
Arden Gopela
A nurtured love
So unconditional
Somewhere in my past
Our hearts intertwined
A vow was once announced
We'll never part and hearts will be around
As we became more than lovers
You've kissed away the tears
As you hold me in your arms
You kept me safe from harm
And love never stop then
Yet, I've heard you one day
You really have to leave;
And told me If I love you, I have to be assesed
Not to see you for a day
To know if I can handle
My love is eternal
I followed your request
Never said where you were going
Silence everywhere
Still I have endured to show you that I care
I was filled with fear a day after the test
You never did come back; the laughter' gone
How can I go on and live without your love
Too late for me to know that you're sick and died so humble
You never let me know
Didn't want to see me mourn
But I'm crying like a river
Am I supposed to live a life once more?
I have read your letter on a pink paper
"No love I have found that turned sadness into gay
You have walked into my life that is more than a prize
Apologies to end a happy-together
You were left with only stolen moments
Each day with you my love keeps getting stronger
But the end is near
I have to set you free".
Teach me the art
The art of letting go
To know the good in holding on
When I already knew
We can't get along no more

Fewer things are more bad ass than 1%er motorcycle clubs. While the true and gritty reality of belonging to one of these clubs can't fully be represented on basic cable, Sons of Anarchy does a damn close job. In celebration of the start of the fourth season, we've decided to revisit the ten most bad ass moments of the first three seasons.
Note: The two errors that originally appeared in this piece have been corrected. Thanks to everyone in the comment section who pointed them out.
Click here to follow us on Twitter!
Popular legend holds that if you leave a 1%er motorcycle club they want your tattoos back. According to Sons of Anarchy, you can either get them burned off or cut off. Kyle, the exiled member of SAMCRO responsible for Opie's incarceration opted for the former. In one of the most brutal scenes ever aired on basic cable, we got to see him hang from chains while the tattoo was burned off with a blowtorch.
Henry Rollins could put on a pink prom dress and read scenes from Steel Magnolias and still look tough. On SOA he plays an open white nationalist opponent of SAMCRO. Before SAMCRO executes him, AJ Weston says a touching goodbye to his son. This isn't just bad ass, it also lends an interesting complexity to a thoroughly detestable character, humanizing even the most inhuman man.
Anyone who's seen The Godfather knows that even the most hardened criminals hesitate before offing the pigs. Double down on that when it comes to federal agents. But Agent June Stahl went over the line one too many times and paid the price in the season three finale. Most of us spent the first three seasons wondering why no one thought to put her out of her misery.

A very powerful pain medication is set to be released in generic form next month and Senator Schumer is worried about an increase in abuse and thefts.
The prescription drug OxyContin will be released into generic form and Schumer is calling for the Food and Drug Administration to enforce the same type of "anti-abuse" protections that the current version of OxyContin has.
Right now the branded version of the pills can't be crushed, making it harder to inject or snort. The FDA does not currently require the generic version to have this feature.
Senator Schumer believes we are in the midst of a prescription drug abuse epidemic and says allowing these pills on the street with no "anti-abuse" mechanisms would open the floodgates even further.

Pritikin Diet
Research and general acceptance
The Pritikin diet is a heart-healthy high-carbohydrate, low-fat, moderate-exercise lifestyle diet developed in the 1960s.
Nathan Pritikin, the originator of the Pritikin Diet, was diagnosed with heart disease at the age of 42. In the late 1950s when Pritikin was diagnosed, about 40% of calories in the average American diet came from fats. Pritikin was given little medical guidance on how lifestyle changes might slow his heart disease. Although educated as an engineer, Pritikin devised his own heart-healthy diet, which he followed rigorously. Based on his experience, he opened the Pritikin Longevity Center in Florida in 1975. Here people could come and immerse themselves for one or more weeks in the Pritikin Eating Plan.
Nathan Pritikin developed cancer and committed suicide in 1985 at the age of 69. At his autopsy, doctors discovered no signs of heart disease, a fact they attributed to his rigorous life-long adherence to his diet. Robert Pritikin, Nathan's son, took over the Longevity Center enterprises after Nathan's death. While maintaining the core of the original diet, Robert updated some of the concepts in his book The Pritikin Principle: The Calorie Density Solution. published in 2000.
At the time Pritikin developed his diet, his concepts seemed quite radical. However Pritikin was ahead of his time, and today, despite a few controversies, most of his principles have been incorporated into advice given on how to reduce the risk of developing cardiovascular disease by mainstream organizations such as the American Heart Association.
The Pritikin Plan is a diet that is high in whole grains and dietary fiber, low in cholesterol, and very low in fats. Fewer than 10% of calories come from fats. This is much lower than the average twenty-first century American diet, in which about 35% of calories come from fats. It is about half the amount of fats recommended in the federal Dietary Guidelines for Americans 2005. The diet is also lower in protein than suggested in the federal guidelines. However, in general, the Pritikin Plan reflects many recommendations in the Dietary Guidelines for Americans 2005. It results in low calorie, nutritionally balanced meals. In addition, the Pritikin plan calls for 45 minutes daily of moderate exercise such as walking, another recommendation in line with mainstream medical advice.
The newest version of the Pritikin Plan calls for avoiding foods that are calorie dense. These are foods that pack a lot of calories into a small volume of food (e.g. oils, cookies, cream cheese). Instead, Plan followers are encouraged to choose low-calorie foods that provide a lot of bulk (e.g. broccoli, carrots, dried beans). This way, dieters can eat a lot of food and feel full without taking in a lot of calories. The plan does not limit the amount of healthy fruits and
vegetables a dieter can eat, and it suggests that dieters divide their food among five or six smaller meals during the day.
The Pritikin Plan is based on eating a particular number of servings of each group of foods as follows:
Other foods such as unsaturated oils, refined sweeteners (e.g. concentrated fruit juice, corn syrup), high-sodium condiments (e.g. soy sauce), and artificial sweeteners (e.g. Splenda) are "caution" foods. They are not recommended, but if they are used, the Plan gives guidance in how to limit them to reasonable amounts. Animal fats, processed meat, dairy products not made with non-rat milk, egg yolks, salty snacks, cakes, cookies, fried foods and similar high-calorie choices are forbidden.
The Plan also calls for at least 45 minutes of moderate exercise daily such as walking. People who check into the Longevity Center receive a personalized exercise program after a physician gives them an examination. This doctor follows their progress while at the center and makes a written report at the end of their stay that they can take home to their personal physician. People who do not visit the Longevity Center can receive support and inspiration through the Plan's extensive Web site. Pritikin has also developed a Family Plan aimed at families with obese children.
Unlike many diets, the Pritikin Plan never claims that a person will lose a certain amount of weight within a certain length of time. People who follow the Plan, which is a low calorie diet, do lose weight and keep it off so long as they stay on the plan. However, the Plan is primarily intended to cause changes in lifestyle that will promote heart health for a lifetime.
Pritikin Diet emphasizes the following health benefits:
As with any diet, people should discuss with their physician the pros and cons of the Pritikin Plan based on their individual circumstances. This diet may not be right for actively growing children.
The greatest risk to this diet is that it is too rigorous for many people, and that they will lose weight on the diet and then gain it back, causing weight cycling (yo-yo dieting) and the potential health problems that repeated weight gain and loss cause.
Research and general acceptance
Unlike many diets, the Pritikin Plan has the respect of much of the medical community and has a thirty-year history of delivering on most of its health promises. Supporters of the diet point to many studies done by both Longevity Center doctors and outside investigators and published in highly respected journals such as the Journal of the American Medical Associationand the New England Journal of Medicine. People do lose weight and keep it off, along with decreasing the risk of heart disease when following the plan.
Dietitians and nutritionists also like the fact that the diet teaches people how to eat well using ordinary foods rather than special pre-packaged foods. This keeps the cost of following the Plan low, especially since the Plan calls for dieters to eat only small quantities of meat. In addition, the Plan is designed to provide a balance of vitamins and minerals from food and does not rely on dietary supplements.
The biggest criticism of the Pritikin Plan is that it requires rigorous self-discipline to stay on for a lifetime. People who do well on the Pritikin Plan tend to be highly motivated and zealous about following the diet. Many healthcare professionals feel long-term success for most people is more likely to occur if the dieter follows a well-balanced but less rigorous diet.
Some nutritionists also take issue with whether the low fat component of the diet allows people to get enough beneficial fats such as omega-3 fatty acids and whether absorption of the fat-soluble vitamins A, D, E, and K is impaired. To date these criticisms have not been supported by research findings. However, critics were handed more ammunition by a long-term study of 49,000 American women ages 50–79 that found that a low-fat diet had no effect on the risk of developing heart disease or cancer. The study was published in February 2006 in the Journal of the American Medical Association. The findings are controversial, and go against much current medical thinking. This study will certainly stimulate additional research on low-fat diets.

As she did last time, For the Love of Ray J's most talked-about contestant of either season, Monica "Danger" Leon, announced via her Twitter that she is once again with child. Keep in mind that this is less than two months after the birth of her first child. This woman's womb is unstoppable! With her guest appearance on For the Love of Ray J 2 coming up soon, Danger's fertility isn't the only impressive thing about her — her timing is, too.
[Update: Danger told TMZ that this tweet was a result of a Twitter hacking and that she is not pregnant.]
Also of note: There seems to be some kind of hash-tag raging against Danger on Fabolous' Twitter. It started with him tweeting, "So yall really believe that dumb ass Danger is pregnant by Fabolous rumor.. Not in hundred, thousand, trillion years!" It only got less coherent from there. He's resorted to name-calling by commenting on her face tattoo. A shining example: "#dangeraka Exxon gas station mascot face! Lol." Clearly, this is the work of a lyrical genius.

Best Jockey St. Louis 2004 - Ramsey Zimmerman
Chicago used to be Ramsey Zimmerman's kind of town. The blue-eyed, blond-haired 22-year-old grew up in the 'burbs and achieved early success aboard Illinois' most sterling colts at Hawthorne and Arlington, the latter being one of the nation's premier venues for thoroughbred racing. But with early success comes an invitation to ride in horse racing's fast lane, which for reckless decadence has been known to rival the backstage scene at an Oasis show. Zimmerman eventually found himself scrambling for mounts at the Land of Lincoln's downstate runt, Fairmount Park. Here he got his nipples pierced, got hitched to a colleague, got acquainted with top owner Lou O'Brien and got sober. The net result is a humble young rider who is Collinsville's finest -- and one of the nation's most productive: Zimmerman is ranked fourth nationally in wins in 2004 and an imposing 61 percent of his mounts finish in the money. Oh, and he's got a tattoo that says "winning horse" in Chinese. Cool.

A Plaintive Cry from the E-Text Wilderness
October 25, 2012 | 10:53 pm
By Rob Suggs So many public domain e-texts, so little time—and guidance. That there's the rub. Ever had this happen? You spot an intriguing title in the Gutenberg feed, or on some other free text site. New e-reader food? Maybe. What's the book about? Like all public domain texts, it dates before the Great Rise of the Subtitles, sadly. So this thing is merely called "The Amazingly Indescribable Thing," or something equally vague, by Lucius Q. Oldenscribe. The cover is a photo of a ragged, black-clothed library book with that title. By sheer reflex, your eager little fingers are instantly Googling title and...

World's Most Durable Soft Dog Toy!
Multiple Rows of Stitching:
Each toy's three layers of material are sewn together with two rows of linear stitching and two rows of cross stitching. Those four rows of stitching are protected with an industrial grade luggage material that are sewn three more times!
Three Layers of Material:
One layer of 600 Denier industrial grade material, one layer of plastic coating and finally one layer of soft fleece. All three layers are rolled together and then sewn together four times in a one inch cross pattern to prevent layer separation.
Protective Webbing:
Additional industrial grade luggage material is sewn around the outside edge with three rows of stitching to cover and protect the first four rows of stitching.
Squeaker Safety Pockets:
Each squeaker is safe and quiet because they are sewn into a nylon safety pocket beneath three other layers of material.
Tuff Scale System:
VIP Products designed a Tuff Scale system ranging from 1-10 (with 10 being the toughest) to give you insight as to how tough their toys are compared against those from competitors.
This toy has a Tuff Scale ranking of 9, meaning it's an extremely tuff & extremely durable dog toy.
Your dog's safety is "Your" Responsibility. The Tuffy's Dog Toys are designed to be play toys and not chew toys.
Care Instructions:
Wash your Tuffy's pet toy by spot cleaning soiled areas. Tuffy's toys are also machine washable, but DO NOT machine dry.
Over time this toy will start to show wear. As your pet plays with the toy your pet will begin to break down the different layers of the toy and may loosen or remove pieces. This is normal. Remove loose threads to avoid ingestion. If your pet reaches the white stuffed core of the toy discard immediately.
The squeakers are attached to the toy with protective pouches. This feature provides a safe window to remove the toy from your pet should it reach the core. Do not let your pet play with this toy unsupervised, and do not allow your pet to remove or ingest any part of the toy including squeakers. Injury may result.

What are dust mite allergies?
Dust mites are tiny insects that are scientifically known as Dermatophagoides. These insects cause allergic reactions in susceptible humans, resulting in hay fever, asthma and other respiratory symptoms. Dust mite allergy is the most common cause of year-round allergy and asthma in the United States. Millions of Americans have dust mite allergy. Dust mites are found in most areas of the world.
Allergy Problems Spotlight
Symptoms of dust mite allergy in humans develop through breathing and touching waste products of the mites. Dust mite allergies develop from exposure to proteins present in dust mite excretions. These proteins act as allergens (substances that can cause an immune-system response) and result in production of the immunoglobulin E (IgE) antibody. IgE brings about an allergic inflammatory response.
The signs and symptoms of dust mite allergies can last as long as the exposure to the mites. Unfortunately, it is nearly impossible to completely eliminate exposure to this insect. The allergy symptoms vary among individuals. Some people have no symptoms at all; whereas others may have runny or stuffy nose, itchy watery eyes, sneezing, wheezing, coughing, chest tightness and shortness of breath, which may pose a risk of more serious breathing problems and infection.
Fortunately, dust mite allergies can be treated successfully with medications and environmental control.
Left untreated, dust mite allergies may lead to severe asthma and respiratory distress or failure. Seek prompt medical care if you have difficulty controlling the symptoms of runny nose, sneezing, wheezing or coughing. Seek immediate medical care (call 911) for serious symptoms, such as sweating and severe difficulty breathing, which may be combined with pale or blue lips and rapid heart rate.
What are the symptoms of dust mite allergies?
Dust mite allergies cause inflammation of the nasal passages and may contribute to asthma, which may result in a number of symptoms. The symptoms can very in intensity among individuals and may occur daily or less frequently. However, at any time the asthma symptoms may become severe.... Read more about dust mite allergiessymptoms
What causes dust mite allergies?
Dust mite allergies originate from the dust mites themselves (Dermatophagoides family). Dust mites live and feed on skin cells shed by humans and animals that are present in dust. Dust found in the inner layers of furniture cushions, carpets and bed-linen fibers provides a perfect habitat for dust mites. The mites feed on skin cells and consequently produce waste products. It is the waste from dust mites that causes allergic symptoms in susceptible people. For this reason, dust mite allergies occur most frequently in dust mite–allergic people who inhale these particles frequently. In children, high levels of exposure to dust...

How are dust mite allergies treated?
Treatment of dust mite allergies begins with seeking medical care from your health care provider. To determine whether you are allergic to dust mites, you will be asked questions about your symptoms and when they occur.... Read more about dust mite allergiestreatments

Farmer's Market Share: Chilled and Grilled Okra
Categories: Farmers' Market Share, In the Kitchen
|Alissa Nelson
Unfortunately, okra is also a much-maligned Southern food item, to the point where most people can't conceive of it as anything other than fried. Its problem is obvious: the slime. It's like Ghostbusters all up on your cutting board. And while the 12-year-old science-fair participant in me wants to think up alternative uses as an industrial lubricant, it doesn't make for the tastiest eating. The flavor is bland, to be kind. It's so bland that I totally abandoned trying to write up the quick gumbo I made this week, because I couldn't figure out how to save it from its flavor vacuum.
Enter the eco-chef. There is a lot to love about Bryant Terry. He's a food activist living in Oakland, California, working at the intersection between poverty, racism and nutrition. He advocates for urban renewal through food justice and sustainability, and he does it in a way that is hip and engaging without coming off like Poochie the dog.
It also doesn't hurt that he is way handsome and has good taste in music. His cookbook, Vegan Soul Kitchen, does a great service in the world of vegan cookbooks. He never tries to recreate standards -- he would rather reimagine classic soul-food ingredients from a fresh perspective. Think sweet potatoes and watermelon and collards in a totally different context. It's the kind of cooking that doesn't beg for the "vegan" prefix, that doesn't alienate the audience that he is trying to reach through his activism, and helps to win people's hearts through their stomachs.
Terry is realistic about okra and its challenges, so he goes for one of my favorite ways to save otherwise boring vegetables: the char. Grilling and roasting is so great because it caramelizes all of the available sugars, and gives everything an automatically more complex flavor. I'm a big fan of roasting okra (lots of oil, relatively generous salt, 400 degrees for around 30 minutes), but I'd never thought of grilling it. But since okra is usually available at the very hottest time of the year and I hate using the oven in August, it absolutely makes sense. Plus this is yet another way of using up all of those tomatoes your coworkers keep pushing on you.

Hey all,
My photo gallery consist of small thumbnails and one main image displayed that swaps when clicking the thumbs.
Here is my html
I added a zoom, hence the link surrounding the main image.
My jQuery for swapping the #main_view looks like this
var mainImage = jQuery(this).attr('src');
return false;
Because I added the zoom effect I will need to change the link href along with the #main_view source. My newbie skills though adding
would be enough but apparently I was once again wrong. (sigh)
Any ideas how to get this working?
Thank you
Try this:
var mainImage = jQuery(this).attr('src');
jQuery("#main_view").attr('src',"large-images/" + mainImage);
return false;
And then put the larger images in that folder.
Thanks for your reply, but I don't think I made myself clear.
Changing the src of the image works fine, but I want to change the href of my (.zoomThis) link too… Any ideas?
Couldn't you do it by using the same method; just change src to href?
var mainImage = jQuery(this).attr('src');
$("#main_view").attr('href', mainImage);
return false;
Nope, it doesn't work… :|

ALL games are about money. DUH! You take this stuff way to serious. Do you actually think the creators of Everquest sat down and said "lets make a game for the love of making games that piss people off and punish them for playing it. And just to make things more interesting, lets not make any money off the game. After all we want to be purists and show our love of video game torture" Are you friking high? The reason they got rid of the stupid death penalties is because most people thought it was FUCING STUPID! Only a very tiny minority of people like the high punishment rate in Everquest. Only a tiny few people like games like Everquest where the developers say to the people buying their service "F YOU IM THE DUNGEON MASTER AND YOU WILL PLAY MY ****ING VISION OF THIS HELLHOLE CALLED EVERQUEST"
In EVERY aspect WoW is a better game than Everquest. You guys are pissing and moaning because the vast majority of people do not like punishing games like Everquest. If you like that style of game then good for you, go play it. Just shut your damn pie hole and let us play the games we like in peace. I hate WoW fanboys just as much as I hate you Everquest fanboys. I play these games to hang out with my online buddies on vent.

Fox Cancels 'Touch,' Brings Back Jack Bauer in '24′ Revival
by Chris Pursell | May 9, 2013 at 7:44 PM | 24, Touch, TV News
Needless to say, Kiefer Sutherland's second series on Fox didn't fare nearly as well as his first. So, Fox is resolving the problem by bringing back Sutherland as Jack Bauer.
Fox has cancelled Sutherland's series "Touch" after two seasons, according to The Hollywood Reporter. The series originally debuted to much fanfare following the actor's long run on the network's "24."
Now, E! News reports that Sutherland will once again reprise his role on "24," for a limited run on Fox. Citing sources close to the production, the article states that the limited run of the show – which ended its eight-season run in 2010 – that would play out like a final season of the show.
Last year, there were plans for a "24″ movie, but the project got scrapped due to multiple issues including timing and budget.
A Fox spokessperson told E! Online that "We aren't confirming anything until Monday at our upfront presentation. "
Stay tuned "24″ fans!

Photograph - Kodak Australasia Pty Ltd, Female Staff Standing in the Gardens of the Kodak Factory, Abbotsford, Victoria, circa 1940s Reg. No: MM 96560
- Summary:
- Black and white silver gelatin photograph of the Kodak Australasia factory site and gardens in Abbotsford, Victoria, circa 1940s.
The photograph features four women staff members standing in pairs in the gardens of the factory, surrounded by garden beds and mature trees near the 'Yarra Grange' house. One pair are on a path in the background near the tennis courts and the other pair are looking at a garden bed in the foreground. This area was close to the canteen and was where staff took their breaks.
Yarra Grange was originally the home of Thomas Baker. In 1884 he established the Austral Plate Company on this site, where he made photographic plates.This company was later owned by Thomas Baker and John Rouse in 1894, under the partnership name Baker and Rouse. In the first decade of the 20th century the company and factory site was bought and operated by Kodak. In the late 1950s Kodak moved from Abbotsford to a new factory site at Coburg on the northern outskirts of Melbourne.
Kodak manufactured and distributed a wide range of photographic products to Australasia, such as film, paper, chemicals, cameras and miscellaneous equipment. Its client base included amateur and professional photographers, as well as specialist medical and graphic art professionals who used photography, x-ray and other imaging techniques.
This photograph is part of the Kodak collection of products, promotional materials, photographs and working life artefacts collected from Kodak Australasia in 2005, when the Melbourne manufacturing plant at Coburg closed down.

"Would recommend this hotel due to location to Mount Hope Airport. However, the bathroom fan being on all the time with no way of turning it off was bad especially if someone had to get up in the night. Also, difficult to find the light switch...well hidden. Restaurant next door a bit of a downer. Hotel staff were very nice and room clean and beds comfortable."

"The employee that checked me in was friendly and helpful, a different employee that checked me out was a bit rude and did not ask how my stay was. Uunfortunately this hotel is on the outskirts of Hamilton so there are few options of restaurants without driving the 15 minutes into Hamilton. On the other hand it is nice to stay in a hotel in a rural setting."

Movement and capture efficiency of radio-tagged salmonids sampled by electrofishing
Young, Michael K.; Schmetterling, David A. 2012. Movement and capture efficiency of radio-tagged salmonids sampled by electrofishing. North American Journal of Fisheries Management. 32: 823-831.
doi: 10.1080/02755947.2012.703158
Electrofishing-based estimates of fish abundance are common. Most population models assume that samples are drawn froma closed population, but population closure is sometimes difficult to achieve. Consequently, we individually electrofished 103 radio-tagged trout of two species, westslope cutthroat trout Oncorhynchus clarkii lewisi and brook trout Salvelinus fontinalis, in five streams in western Montana to quantify the influence of habitat and fish size on capture efficiency and movement related to electrofishing with unpulsed DC. First-pass capture efficiency was 46% and declined on subsequent passes. No variables were related to capture efficiency, and only the percentage of cobble or larger substrate was related to the probability that uncaptured fish would move during the first electrofishing pass. About 20% of the uncaptured fish did not move, and 95% traveled less than 18 m.We concluded that for these streams, the bias in abundance estimates from disregarding movement would be relatively minor.

The Board of Education unanimously passed its $1.02 billion budget, though some board members expressed frustrations how a one-time increase using funds from their health care balance will be sustained.
Anne Arundel County Public Schools got almost everything it wanted from its requested $1.046 budget. It funds teacher raises in addition to a new salary scale, and funds a 2 percent increase for all other employees. It contains $5.3 million for Monarch Global Academy, $500,000 short of its original request.
It also includes funding for 17.5 positions in order to expand magnet programs and add staff for the growing bilingual population. The request included 75 new teaching positions, including special education support, school counselors, American Sign Language teachers and about 32 teachers for increasing enrollment. Most were not funded.
