Built for Skiers. The Atomic Skiwear Lookbook 14/15.
Sage Cattabriga-Alosa is one of the best freeskiers on the planet. He has been wowing fans for the last nine years with his stand out movie segments in Teton Gravity Research films. The very fact that he bypassed the normal pro-path of gaining a name on the competition circuit or working with smaller freeski filmmakers, and instead went from a total unknown to one of the star regulars in the biggest ski productions speaks volumes for his talent. Last year he decided to try his hand at a bit of competition as well, and immediately found himself at the top of the result sheets. It seems there is literally nothing Sage cannot do with his trusty ATOMIC Bent Chetlers and some steep terrain.
Anywhere with powder!
I would like to ski on Mars some day.
It was all about being in the right place at the right time. Back in the day, I met up with Chris Collins in Oregon and he suggested checking out Utah, so I moved there and started skiing with him. Chris, his brother Matt, and the Utah posse were filming already with TGR, so eventually I was in the right place to meet the rest of the crew.
Last year I competed in three contests, all of them were powder orientated. The first was the Red Bull Linecatcher in France. It's a backcountry freestyle contest that has a big mountain zone with natural and built jumps on the face. I got fourth there, so that was a good start. Then I competed in the final stage of the Freeskiing World Championships at Snowbird, which is basically my home mountain. This is just a classic big mountain competition and it has been running for many years. The competition there is always fierce, but I still managed to place second which I was pretty happy with being a newcomer to this event. And finally I competed in the Red Bull Cold Rush in Colorado, another powder focused contest featuring a big mountain day, a day of backcountry freestyle, and a day in a mini golf zone full of cliffs. I think I would do these contests again in the future if they fit my schedule like this season. They are progressive and fun, and most of all it's an opportunity to ski with other pros that I don't ski with too often.
While filming, we get to focus on powder, and good conditions. This is something that isn't guaranteed at all on the competition circuit.
It takes a lot of hard work and dedication all season to put together a proper movie segment. Three minutes on film literally takes months, so it isn't as easy as it may seem to outsiders.
I like to stretch, do some yoga, and massage, as well as eating right, and trying to stay balanced in life. Again, it's a bit of work, but it's worth it.
I definitely get scared at the top of lines – actually, dealing with your fear is one of the most essential aspects of big mountain riding. That fear will keep you alive!
Art and music are a huge inspiration; I love looking at things in a new way and hearing sounds in new ways.
Still holding true to my stoke for the Bent Chetler, but we have been working on a new prototype that we will be unveiling next year that I am also super stoked on.
I don't even ski anything that isn't rockered anymore! I feel that in all conditions I ski it makes it more fun, easier and allows for more freedom of expression.
Skis like everything will continue to change; new materials, ideas and needs will direct the development. In what ways it will be hard to tell. I am personally involved in ATOMIC's development quite a bit, and me and the other athletes are working hard to create new skis for the product line that are even better than the current ones. This is not an easy task, as the present models are already amazing compared to the skis I was starting my career on. But there is always something you can do better, in skiing as well as in building skis, and that's one of those things that make this sport so fascinating. I am still hooked on skiing as much as I was ten years ago when I was just starting out!

As part of a sweeping new licensing scheme, the IRS won't let tax preparers continue to prepare your tax returns in 2013 unless they first get a special permission slip from the government by paying for and completing 15 hours of continuing education by the end of this year. They will also have to pass an IRS-mandated exam by the end of next year.
These new regulations threaten the livelihoods of as many as 350,000 tax return preparers, many of them independent mom-and-pop businesses, and could waste up to 5 million man hours. But the IRS says it will not extend the deadline.
Congress gave the IRS no authority to issue such regulations, and they may not legally do so, but as the Obama administration probably thought, who is going to stop them?
The administration's failure to follow the rules and to simply go around laws they don't particularly like is extremely troubling.

By JOHN SERFUSTINISun Advocate Reporter
With a briefing for hazardous materials teams from Carbon, Emery, Grand and Uintah counties last week, the proposed Blue Castle nuclear project took another step on the long road to groundbreaking.
The power plant site is about five miles west-northwest of Green River in Emery County. Final approval by all federal, state and local agencies would give the go-ahead for a generating facility that would match or exceed the output of all the coal-fired power plants now operating in that county. Plans call for 2,000 to 3,000 megawatts of capacity at the site.
In contrast, the three units at PacifiCorp's Hunter Plant and both units at the Huntington plant are about 400 megawatts each.
Blue Castle Holdings, Inc., which is developing the site, has reported that it has already secured water rights for the plant. The 53,000 acre-feet of water will be leased for up to 70 years from water users who might otherwise have lost their rights through non-use. At the end of the project life, the water will revert back to the owners.
Blue Castle is also negotiating with utilities to share in the investment and output of the $12- to $15 billion facility. The utilities could obtain the option to buy into 4 to 7 percent of the plant once the permitting process is done.
The company has said that this arrangement greatly reduces the risk for the individual utilities, which would have to commit themselves to the full amount were they to undertake permitting and construction alone. The company last week signed a memorandum of understanding with Page Electric Utility, the municipal power company of Page, Ariz., for potential participation.
At the end of June, BCH announced an arrangement of $30 million in private capital from LeadDog Capital L.P., a New York-based group of investors, for up to three years in early financing of the project.
During its last session, the Utah Legislature included nuclear power in the list of energy development projects eligible for state tax credits.
However, it is not likely that Emery County will be granting any property tax breaks. The taxes the county will collect is one big reason why County Commissioner Gary Kofford is supportive of the project, the commissioner said Friday.
Emery has already zoned the area for industrial development as part of an agreement with the School and Institutional Trust Lands Administration, he added.
Aaron Tilton, chief executive officer of the Salt Lake City-based BCH, has said that the Emery County site was chosen after two years of study. Emery offers access to available and potential interstate transmission, water, state and local government support, and geologic stability.
The Nuclear Regulatory Commission is slated to begin its review sometime next year, the company reported.

|ASU Falls to Campbell, 11-6
|Written by Brandon McGinnis
|Thursday, 18 April 2013 07:35
In what looked to be a hitting clinic in the first three innings, Appalachian State University baseball was unable to keep up with Campbell, as the Mountaineers fell 11-6 Wednesday night at Finch Field in the
lone neutral site game of the season.
Three Mountaineers tallied multi-hit games, as Will Callaway, Noah Holmes and Jaylin Davis each recorded two hits and combined for four of Appalachian's six runs in the game. Callaway highlighted the trio with a first inning, two-run homerun to take an early 2-0 lead.
Despite the two run advantage, Campbell flashed its bats early with four runs in the bottom half. After two quick outs, CU's Elijah Trail doubled, followed by a three-run homerun by Michael Delucia, the first of his career, to cap off the four run inning.
With matching Preston Troutman and Gabe Dimock sacrifice flies in the second and third innings, respectively, the Apps tied the score heading into the bottom of the third. Campbell got its second big inning of the game in the third when the Camels pounded out three quick hits to score three runs and take a 7-4 advantage.
With a scorless fourth inning, Callaway led off the fifth inning with a single up the middle, followed by a Holmes double to leftcenter field. A groundout by Dillon Dobson and an error by the Camel defense plated Callaway and Holmes to bring Appalachian within one run.
Despite Appalachian closing the gap, Campbell never relinquished its lead, scoring two more in the bottom of the fifth, headlined by Delucia's second homerun of the game. His two-run blast over the leftcenter wall put the game out of reach as the Camels tacked on a run in the seventh and eighth innings.
App State starter Tyler Jackson received the loss and moves to 1-1 on the year. Rob Howard relieved Jackson in the fourth, followed by a strong performance by Rob Marcello in the sixth and seventh innings, as he struck out five Camel batters in two innings of work. Tyler Moore finished the game, tossing an inning.
The Mountaineers return to action and Southern Conference play on Friday at The Citadel for a three-game series. First pitch on Friday is set for 6 p.m.
NOTES: Jackson made his first start in nearly three seasons … Appalachian has now won four of its last six on its current nine-game road stretch … App State moves to 6-2 in non-conference road games for the season … Campbell improves to 7-4-1 against Appalachian in a series dating back to 1980 … Callaway's first inning homerun is just the seventh homerun in the last 16 games for the Mountaineers after leading the nation in homers per game until March 24 … Hector Crespo had his 10-game hitting streak snapped, finishing 0-for-2 with a run scored … Callaway now holds the longest hitting streak on the team with a 10-game streak of his own … Callaway is now 22-for-45 with five doubles, three home runs, 16 RBI and 16 runs scored during the hit streak … Davis extended his hitting streak to seven games.

The Black Boxby Michael Connelly
Synopses & Reviews
Publisher Comments:
In a case that spans 20 years, Harry Bosch links the bullet from a recent crime to a file from 1992, the killing of a young female photographer during the L.A. riots. Harry originally investigated the murder, but it was then handed off to the Riot Crimes Task Force and never solved.
Now Bosch's ballistics match indicates that her death was not random violence, but something more personal, and connected to a deeper intrigue. Like an investigator combing through the wreckage after a plane crash, Bosch searches for the black box, the one piece of evidence that will pull the case together.
Riveting and relentlessly paced, The Black Box leads Harry Bosch, one of the greats of crime fiction (New York Daily News), into one of his most fraught and perilous cases.
"Bestseller Connelly's excellent 18th Harry Bosch novel (after 2011's The Drop) opens in 1992, a few days after the acquittal of the cops who beat up Rodney King incited an eruption of violence in Los Angeles ('Flames from a thousand fires reflected like the devil dancing in the dark sky'). In a South-Central alley, Bosch and his partner, Jerry Edgar, briefly examine the body of a Danish photojournalist, Anneke Jespersen, who's been shot dead. There's not enough time or police will power to enable Bosch to pursue the case — though he does retrieve a single spent 9mm brass shell casing. Twenty years later, while working cold cases in the LAPD's Open-Unsolved Unit, Bosch gets a second chance to answer for Jespersen. Contemporary forensic technology connects the shell casing to a gun and to the first Iraq war. The tenacious detective finds himself caught in a maelstrom of departmental politics and personal danger as he searches for the 'black box' of the title ('a piece of evidence, a person, a positioning of fact that brought a certain understanding and helped explain what happened and why'). Connelly draws on all his resources — his thorough knowledge of police work, his ability to fashion a complex tapestry of plot, and his ever deepening characterization of Bosch — to craft a mystery thriller sure to enthrall fans and newcomers alike. Agent: Philip Spitzer, Philip G. Spitzer Literary." Publishers Weekly (Starred Review) Copyright PWxyz, LLC. All rights reserved.
"I decided several years ago that this is the finest crime series written by an American, and nothing in the new book changes my mind." The Washington Post
"Continues [Connelly's] streak of telling stellar crime stories...one of the top detectives in crime fiction." Chicago Sun-Times
"Four stars! Crime writer Michael Connelly is a reliably good storyteller and his novels' endings invariably pack a satisfying punch. Though I've said it before about some of his other novels, The Black Box [could] be the best yet...portrays Harry at his dogged, ingenious best." USA Today
"Few crime writers are as prolific or as successful as Michael Connelly....Connelly has always excelled at building suspense while paying careful attention to police procedural detail...will tantalize fans of the series." Los Angeles Times
"Bosch employs highly unorthodox but extremely entertaining methods for getting results, making sneaky end-runs around the sclerotic bureaucracy of the LAPD....It's fun to watch an old war horse like Bosch navigating the new technology (or, more often than not, getting younger officers to do it for him)." New York Times Book Review
"Connelly has added one more to the apparently inexhaustible supply of cases that challenge Detective Harry Bosch of the Los Angeles Police Department. This one is a tightly knit tale....It's classic Connelly, who has a gift for narrating criminal investigations from the inside and bringing them to life." San Jose Mercury News
About the Author
Michael Connelly is the author of the recent #1 New York Times bestsellers The Drop, The Fifth Witness, The Reversal, The Scarecrow, The Brass Verdict, and The Lincoln Lawyer, as well as the bestselling Harry Bosch series of novels. He is a former newspaper reporter who has won numerous awards for his journalism and his novels. He spends his time in California and Florida.

(CNN) -- Every week, hundreds of patients, including children with cancer, are admitted to new clinical trials through the National Institutes of Health.
But because of the government shutdown, newly registered patients are being put on hold until the government resumes operation.
"Due to the lapse in government funding... transactions submitted via the web site may not be processed, and the agency may not be able to respond to inquiries until appropriations are enacted," a message on the top of the NIH website states.
About 200 people register for NIH clinical trials every week. But those patients are being told they will have to wait until the government starts up again to begin their trials, according to NIH spokesman John Burklow.
"In fact, six new studies would have started this week that we are deferring," Burklow said.
Of that 200, approximately 30 are children, he said, and about 10 of those children are cancer patients.
Burklow did note that participants who are already in studies are still being treated and will continue with their trials. Burklow also said patients in desperate need of treatment will be handled differently and will more than likely be seen by physicians or nurses at the NIH Clinical Center.
About 75% of NIH's employees -- or about 14,700 people -- have been furloughed.

We examine the pricing of financial crash insurance during the 2007-2009 financial crisis in U.S. option markets. A large amount of aggregate tail risk is missing from the price of financial sector crash insurance during the financial crisis. The difference in costs of out-of-the-money put options for individual banks and puts on the financial sector index increases fourfold from its pre-crisis 2003-2007 level. We provide evidence that a collective government guarantee for the financial sector, which lowers index put prices far more than those of individual banks, explains the divergence in the basket-index put spread.

West Indies-French Guiana Dengue Study (DAG)

- How to Read a Study Record
Dengue is a mosquito-born viral disease caused by four different serotypes of dengue virus (DENV). Dengue fever (DF) is defined by the sudden onset of fever associated with non specific constitutional symptoms, recovery occurring spontaneously after three to seven days. The infection can sometimes progress to dengue hemorrhagic fever (DHF), a disease characterized by a transient increase in vascular permeability provoking a plasma leakage syndrome. DHF can be complicated by shock and internal hemorrhage. Other rarer but potentially life-threatening complications include encephalitis, hepatitis, rhabdomyolysis, and myocarditis. There is currently no way of predicting the outcome of DF or DHF, and the World Health Organisation (WHO) classification lacks sufficient sensitivity and specificity to recognize and guide the management of severe forms of dengue. The pathophysiology of these severe forms is also poorly known, but it involves both host characteristics (immunological facilitation in case of new infection by a different serotype, and genetic factors), and viral factors. Dengue is an emerging disease in Asia and in South-America, with an exponential increase in the number of reported cases (50 to 100 million per year), the number of affected countries, and the number of severe cases. It affects both children and adults. Since the early 2000s, the French West Indies and French Guiana have become hyperendemic for dengue, with simultaneous circulation of the four serotypes, regular large outbreaks, and severe dengue including fatalities. This epidemiological situation calls for large prospective multicenter cohort studies to characterize severe forms of dengue, to seek predictive factors, and to investigate the pathophysiology of the disease (JL Deen Lancet 2006, A Kroeger Lancet 2006). The 2007-2008 West Indies- French Guiana French interministerial mission on emerging infectious diseases, coordinated by Professor Antoine Flahault, recommended such studies and underlined the excellent situation of Guyana for this type of study, and as an interface for clinical and basic research.

Dude!!! Flashbacks!
I read that about a year ago. Yes... it's a joke. If you go back and read it again, you'll notice the names may sound familiar... that's because the person writing the article is "The Dad" on the Brady Bunch.... (not really, but that's the family he used to model the article)
It was written as a joke on a different site than you posted a link to... and it got over 100 messages for feedback at the bottom of the page in less than a day... that many people thought the dude was serious lol... it took a few people pointing out certain things for everyone to realize it was the Brady Bunch. Anyway... thanks for the link... I haven't seen that in a long time, and it's always good for a laugh.

Workman makes $7.75 an hour as a cashier at Orchard Market in Spring Lake. That's 35 cents an hour above Michigan's $7.40 minimum wage, and 50 cents more than the federal mandate of $7.25.
Pennies aside, it's still a struggle, Workman said.
"Being post-grad at Michigan State University, I have $600-a-month student loan payments," said Workman, 23.
The Fruitport woman said a bill introduced recently in Lansing that would raise the state's minimum wage to $10 an hour over the span of three years would be "extremely significant" in her budgeting.
"That would really help a lot," Workman said.
Orchard Market Director of Operations Alex Rogalla said he'll be closely watching the proposed state legislation, which he said could have far-reaching effects in the business world.
"There have been minimum wage increases over the years and they're needed because of the cost of living, but you should do it in moderation," he said. "That's not moderation."
Michigan's minimum wage was last increased in 2008.
Rogalla said about a third of the grocery store's 65 employees are near the minimum wage level.
"Anybody who has been with you for a few years, even if they're not at minimum wage, would get bumped up," he said. "It's not just who you hire — it's anybody you have that's not sitting at that level when that (legislation) goes through."

Museums and Galleries
Hungarian National Museum
In 1802, Count Ferenc Széchényi offered his rich collection to the nation to establish the Hungarian National Museum. That is why, Hungary respects this year as the foundation of the Hungarian National Museum. Those days, the collection comprised 11884 prints, 1156 manuscripts, 142 books, maps and copperplates. The collection first was placed in the Pauline monastery in Pest. The Diet of 1807 nationalized the institute and called upon the nation to donate to the new Museum.
Hungarian National Gallery
The Hungarian National Gallery is the largest public collection documenting and presenting the rise and development of the fine arts in Hungary.
Museum of Applied Arts
The Budapest Museum of Applied Arts, one of the oldest of its kind, dates from 1872. It is not just the exhibits but also the architectural splendours of the museum that make it such a pleasure to visit. The three-story building, which first opened its doors in 1896, was designed in Hungarian Art Nouveau style by Ödön Lechner. In contrast to his later work on the Postal Savings Bank, here Lechner has returned to past, mainly Oriental forms and merged them with elements from Hungarian folk-art to produce a new style.
Aquincum Museum
The visible ruins of the Aquincum Civil Town represent the excavated one third of the central settlement. The structure of the Aquincum Civil Town was greatly influenced by both the area's natural geography and its previous architectural history. The limes road running from north to south was a typical element in the town's layout since its very beginnings. The aquaeductus built along its western side was a similarly characteristic feature.
Güll Baba Tomb
The tomb is an important place for Mohammedan pilgrim. The Turkish armies took possession of Buda in 1541. Gull Baba, who arrived Buda with the armies died in the Nagyboldogasszony-temple during the thanksgiving for the victory. The tomb was renovated in 1885 and in 1962 by the Turkish government.

Uday Hattem al-Ghanimi represents a growing population of Iraqis who have sought political asylum and resettled in the United States after the Bush administration invaded Iraq in 2003. However, as the New York Times reported on Thursday, like many accomplished immigrants from other countries, Uday and his family have not been met with the welcome and opportunity for which they had hoped or were led to expect. With the wounds of war still tender, Iraqis are struggling to support themselves and their families as they face alienation in the job market and ostracism from society.
A social psychological perspective of the Iraqi experience in the United States elucidates the hardships that Iraqis are facing. Williams (1997, 2007) emphasized the profound negative effects of ostracism on individuals. Five minutes of ostracism due to exclusion from a ball-tossing game resulted in decreased self-esteem and feelings of helplessness, among other negative outcomes. Such negative outcomes are exacerbated with long-term ostracism. Williams notes that the effects of ostracism are initially felt much like physical pain, possibly reflecting overlapping neural circuitry. It seems Iraqis may have traded potential pain due to warfare for certain pain due to ostracism.

By TERRY WILLISSun Advocate sports reporter
Shooting problems continue for the CEU women as they lost this weekend 81-64 to Snow and then 88-62 to Salt Lake. They will end conference play in fifth place with two regular season games left on the slate.
In both games over the weekend, the Lady Eagles kept it close in the first half of play and then let their opponents run away with it in the second half. Each game they took more shots that their opponent, but could not seem to find the hole and get the points.
Against Snow they made 23 of 64 shots. Bruna Diechmann managed to score 18 points to lead CEU's offense. Samara Pereira put up 10.
In the Salt Lake match up it was 23 of 69 shooting. Deichmann scored 20 against the Bruins and Kaylee Robison put up 13 and pulled in four rebounds.
For Coach Dave Paur it was another frustrating weekend.
"They shot well and we didn't," he said referring to both games. "We out-shot them, out-rebounded them and out played them in many areas, but thats not what the game is about. Its about how many of your shots drop through the net that wins games and ours just aren't. Salt Lake played really well and it shows why they are ranked number three in the nation right now. I need to recruit some shooters this next season to get this team heading where we want it to be."
CEU heads up to take on Northern Idaho on Friday and Southern Idaho on Saturday. Nothing that happens this weekend will change the overall standings for the women.

Permeability MRI in Cerebral Cavernous Malformations Type 1 in New Mexico: Effects of Statins
- Full Text View
- Tabular View
- No Study Results Posted
- Disclaimer
- How to Read a Study Record
Cerebral cavernous malformations (CCMs) are clusters of abnormal blood vessels in the brain and spine. CCMs can bleed and cause strokes, seizures, and headaches. In some patients, CCMs affect the blood brain barrier (BBB). The BBB is the body's separation of blood and its contents in the brain from the brain tissue itself. Abnormal leakiness or permeability of this barrier can cause disease. We will measure the permeability (leakiness) of the BBB using a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) technique called dynamic contrast-enhanced MRI (DCEMRI). The purpose of this study is to look at whether statin medications change the permeability (leakiness) of the blood brain barrier in CCM patients. Statin medications are used to lower cholesterol levels and prevent heart attack and stroke. In addition, this medication may decrease the risk of brain hemorrhage or bleeding in patients with CCM. This study will examine whether the permeability of the BBB changes following the administration of simvastatin for three months.

Comments about Stamina Products Stamina Magnetic 1350 Recumbent Bike:
I bought this bike 6 mos ago. It seemed to work fine, I would use for about 30 mins to 1 hr a day. After about four months of constant use the bike became increasing hard to pedal. Come to find out the magnetic portion inside was damaged and stamina suggested I take it apart to check it out. Not only that the thread on the right pedal wore off. Now let me explain, the pedal screws into the legs out of the front of the bike and you must use pedal to screw on. The thread wore off the part attached to the bike. Again staminia was contacted and for only $250 I could get all the parts to fix the bike. Problem!!! I did not pay that much for the bike. So lesson is, save your money and buy a better quality product.

By WALT BORLAHelper
A legend in the history of Helper has passed on with the death of Pete Bottino in the last week. His obituary notice called him "Helper's Handyman", He was that and very much more to the community of Helper in his younger days.
Pete worked as city electrician for Helper for many years. That was his official title, but in the daily operation he was much more than city electrician. He was in almost every facet of the city work force. Streets, water, recreation, you name it, whenever there was a problem, Pete was involved.
In community affairs Pete was "Johnny on the Spot", be it religion or civic. He worked on the Catholic Carnival, the old "Days of "49, community television, the now defunct Helper Kiwanis Club, just about every community affair that came about. He oversaw the installation of the first lighting system put over the baseball field and was instrumental in the community television system that first brought television reception to Helper.
In the days before the county television system came into play, Pete was the leader in placing an antenna high on the mountain northeast of town to pick up the signal from Salt Lake City and relay into town via cable. He was the maintenance man on this system and it was he who would quickly climb high on that mountain whenever there was a problem with the antenna.
When the county system supplanted the Helper system and television antennas began appearing on roof tops, it was Pete who saw to it that the elderly and widows had an antenna placed on their roof tops and the signal wired to their front rooms.
Pete never got rich in his volunteer efforts but he surely made many friends in Helper. If there was ever a man without an enemy, Pete was the one, a deeply loved and respected man who served his community well.

In Defense of Food: An Eater's Manifestoby Michael Pollan
Synopses & Reviews
Publisher Comments:
What to eat, what not to eat, and how to think about health: a manifesto for our times Eat food. Not too much. Mostly plants. These simple words go to the heart of Michael Pollan's In Defense of Food, the well-considered answers he provides to the questions posed in the bestselling The Omnivore's Dilemma, Humans used to know how to eat well, Pollan argues. But the balanced dietary lessons that were once passed down through generations have been confused, complicated, and distorted by food industry marketers, nutritional scientists, and journalists-all of whom have much to gain from our dietary confusion. As a result, we face today a complex culinary landscape dense with bad advice and foods that are not real. These edible foodlike substances are often packaged with labels bearing health claims that are typically false or misleading. Indeed, real food is fast disappearing from the marketplace, to be replaced by nutrients, and plain old eating by an obsession with nutrition that is, paradoxically, ruining our health, not to mention our meals. Michael Pollan's sensible and decidedly counterintuitive advice is: Don't eat anything that your great-great grandmother would not recognize as food. Writing In Defense of Food, and affirming the joy of eating, Pollan suggests that if we would pay more for better, well-grown food, but buy less of it, we'll benefit ourselves, our communities, and the environment at large. Taking a clear-eyed look at what science does and does not know about the links between diet and health, he proposes a new way to think about the question of what to eat that is informed by ecology and tradition rather than by the prevailing nutrient-by-nutrientapproach. In Defense of Food reminds us that, despite the daunting dietary landscape Americans confront in the modern supermarket, the solutions to the current omnivore's dilemma can be found all around us. In looking toward traditional diets the world over, as well as the foods our families-and regions-historically enjoyed, we can recover a more balanced, reasonable, and pleasurable approach to food. Michael Pollan's bracing and eloquent manifesto shows us how we might start making thoughtful food choices that will enrich our lives and enlarge our sense of what it means to be healthy.
From the author of the bestselling "The Omnivore's Dilemma" comes this bracing and eloquent manifesto that shows readers how they might start making thoughtful food choices that can enrich their lives and enlarge their sense of what it means to be healthy. (Consumer Health)
The bestselling coauthor of Your Money or Your Life chronicles her quest to eat food produced within 10 miles of her home
Taking the locavore movement to heart, bestselling author and social innovator Vicki Robin pledged for one month to eat only food sourced within a 10-mile radius of her home on Whidbey Island in Puget Sound, Washington. Her sustainable diet not only brings to light societyand#8217;s unhealthy dependency on mass-produced, prepackaged foods but also helps her reconnect with her body and her environment.
Like Barbara Kingsolverand#8217;s Animal, Vegetable, Miracle and the bestselling books of Michael Pollan, Blessing the Hands That Feed Us is part personal narrative and part global manifesto. By challenging herself to eat and buy local, Robin exposes the cause and effect of the food business, from the processed goods laden with sugar, fat, and preservatives to the trucks burning through fuel to bring them to a shelf near you.
Robinand#8217;s journey is also one of community as she befriends all the neighboring farmers who epitomize the sustainable lifestyle. Among them are Tricia, the prolific market gardener who issued Robinand#8217;s 10-mile challenge; Britt and Eric, two
young, enthusiastic farmers living their dream of self-sufficiency; and Vicky, a former corporate executive turned milk producer.
Featuring recipes throughout, along with practical tips on adopting your own locally sourced diet, Blessing the Hands That Feed Us is an inspirational guide and testimonial to the locavore movement and a healthy food future.
#1 New York Times Bestseller
Food. There's plenty of it around, and we all love to eat it. So why should anyone need to defend it?
Because in the so-called Western diet, food has been replaced by nutrients, and common sense by confusion--most of what were consuming today is longer the product of nature but of food science. The result is what Michael Pollan calls the American Paradox: The more we worry about nutrition, the less healthy we see to become. With In Defense of Food, Pollan proposes a new (and very old) answer to the question of what we should eat that comes down to seven simple but liberating words: "Eat food. Not too much. Mostly plants." Pollans bracing and eloquent manifesto shows us how we can start making thoughtful food choices that will enrich our lives, enlarge our sense of what it means to be healthy, and bring pleasure back to eating.
"Michael Pollan [is the] designated repository for the nation's food conscience."
-Frank Bruni, The New York Times
" A remarkable volume . . . engrossing . . . [Pollan] offers those prescriptions Americans so desperately crave."
-The Washington Post
"A tough, witty, cogent rebuttal to the proposition that food can be redced to its nutritional components without the loss of something essential... [a] lively, invaluable book."
--Janet Maslin, The New York Times
"In Defense of Food is written with Pollan's customary bite, ringing clarity and brilliance at connecting the dots."
-The Seattle Times
Michael Pollans newest book Cooked: A Natural History of Transformation--the story of our most trusted food experts culinary education--was published by The Penguin Press in April 2013.
About the Author
Michael Pollan is the author of four previous books, including The Omnivore's Dilemma and The Botany of Desire, both New York Times bestsellers. A longtime contributor to The New York Times, he is also the Knight Professor of Journalism at Berkeley.

All About the Turnovers
The Patriots defense might not strike fear in the hearts of their opponents, but they have been very effective at creating turnovers, something that Rob Ninkovich knows is a working formula for this team when backed by a Tom Brady offense, writes Dyer in Metro.
New England isn't terribly effective at getting to the quarterback, with just 15 sacks this year, but four came in the Jets' Week 7 loss at New England. The last was a strip-sack and fumble by Sanchez in overtime, recovered by Ninkovich, to end the game.
Ball control is always a big part of the game, but it will be even bigger on Thursday night. The Patriots boast a +20 turnover differential.
This is a formula for success. A great offense coupled with not a great defense (but an opportunistic defense) has worked well for the Patriots this year. The Jets are going to have to not only limit the possessions of the Patriots, but also do their best against this defense that's been so good at turning the ball over.
Brian Bassett, TheJetsBlog.comBall control was a big part of the Jets issues last season, and has been again this year. The Jets defense is pretty good at creating turnovers (5th in the AFC), but if the Jets offense can't capitalize off of them or worse yet, gives the ball (8th in AFC) back too often, then it's all for naught. If the Jets defense can keep doing what they are doing and the offense not set them back … the Jets would be better off for it.

Pitcher plants are carnivorous plants which trap food using a pitfall... News PhotoCoral Gables,Florida - US State,Food,Gulf Coast States,Inspiration,Science and Technology,USA,VerticalPhotographer The Technology of SuccessCollection: Moment (c) 2011 Jungle Mama[UNVERIFIED CONTENT] Pitcher plants are carnivorous plants which trap food using a pitfall trap built into them through evolutionary design. They can be found in both of the Americas as well as Africa, Asia, and Australia, and usually grow in bogs, marshlands, and areas of waterlogged, acidic soil. Pitcher plants have developed a carnivorous habit to compensate for poor soil nutrition, but they are also capable of absorbing nutrients through their simple root systems. In addition to growing in the wild, pitcher plants are cultivated in many botanical gardens as a form of natural insect control, and can serve the same purpose in the home, as well as being decorative. In botanical gardens, pitcher plants are usually grown in warm, humid indoor environments. The term pitcher plant is an umbrella name for plants in two families, Sarraceiniaceae and Nepenthaceae. In both, the leaves curl in on themselves to form tall, distinctive pitchers. The pitchers are often streaked with red to attract insects and lined with fine hairs and grooves so once insects fall in, they cannot escape. Water collects in the bottom of the pitcher, drowning unwitting insect visitors, and the plant secretes digestive enzymes to extract nutrients from the insects. In some cases, pitcher plants also live in a symbiotic relationship with insects in larval form, allowing the larvae to eat trapped insects and later consuming some of them. Tropical Pitcher Plants, Nepenthes sp.

osforlife wrote:Blast from the past here. I thought I'd put this comment in some Flaherty forum. It's September 2nd, Flaherty isn't going anywhere. I'am glad we kept him. He can go down to AAA at the start of next season if he needs some more seasoning. I believe he has a bright future as a super utilty player. With that being said, why didn't he start today(9/2/12)? Quintanilla is stuggling and Hughes(RHP) was pitching so the matchup with Andino didn't work out. Buck has benched him several times when he was hot. He had a 4 game hit streak from 7/20/12-7/23/12 and was benched in favor of Quintanilla. Then, he just had a 2 game hit streak on the 24th and 25th and was benched. All of our second basemen have been truly terrible this year, Quintanilla being the best, so why not ride the somewhat hot bat? He plays a decent second base too.
Matt P wrote:Buck loves Andino.
osforlife wrote:He clearly isn't the answer at second base and wouldn't mind him not being on the team next year. Flaherty can do just as good of job. Hopefully, Schoop will be ready by 2014. Next year could be the same thing as this year at second. I see Ryan Adams and Ryan Flaherty getting starts there once Roberts goes down, which he most likely will.
LA Detective wrote:I dont get it either. You can see Flaherty is much better fundamentally than Andino. He has some pop in his bat too. I thought he should of played the NY series with the short porch and all. I could see Flaherty winning that spot in the Spring or after starting the year in the minors....275+ with 12-15 hrs wouldnt be bad at the bottom of the order..

BRASHER FALLS - After closing out last week with a perfect five-inning win on the road over Tupper Lake, the St. Lawrence Central varsity softball team opened this week by pulling away to a convincing 15-3 NAC win at home over Parishville-Hopkinton on Monday.
Junior Lindsey Thayer, who pitched her first varsity career perfect game in a 23-0 win over the Lumberjacks where she fanned 11 of the 15 batters she faced, allowed just one run over the first three innings to pick up the win over the P-H. Kelsi Newtown gave up just two more runs over the final four innings in relief. Nicole White went the distance in taking the loss.
Noel Rufa sparked the SLC offense going 3-3 with three runs scored an an RBI as the Lady Larries carried a 6-3 lead into the bottom of the fourth inning where they broke the game open with a six-run rally. Haleigh Ganes was 2-3 with a three-run homerun, three runs scored an a total of four RBis. Chelsea Savage went 2-4 with two doubles, two RBIs and a run scored while Brandi Thomas singled twice and came around to score a pair of runs. Morgan Villnave, Tera Douglas and Breanna Vatter all singled and scored a run.
White singled and scored in the losing cause. Caitlin McGregor, Kodi Perkins and Mary Coventry had the other P-H hits while Cassara Cole and Marissa Paradis came home with the other runs.
The Lady Larries, now 11-2 overall and in sole possession of first place atop the North Division standings, are slated to host Tupper Lake today starting at 4:30 p.m. P-H is slated to host Norwood-Norfolk in a Wednesday twinbill starting at 4 p.m. at the Firemans Field.
In other NAC matchups on Monday, Norwood-Norfolk swept past St. Regis Falls by scores of 23-1 and 8-3, Colton-Pierrepont outlasted Madrid-Waddington 11-9 and Chateaugay beat Tupper Lake 20-3 in five innings.
N-N 23-8, SRF 1-3: At St. Regis Falls, Micky Fregoe went 4-4 with six RBIs, four runs scored and a triple while Leah Palmeteer went 3-4 with four runs scored and three RBI to spark the Lady Flyers to the lopsided win in the opening game. Cortney Harvey (3-3) and Megan Stevenson (2-3 4 RBI, 2B) also contributed to Katie Ames and Gabby Coles combined four hitter.
In game two, Carlea Weaver belted a homerun and a triple and Alisabeth Furnance (2-3 double, Miranda Langtry (2-2, 2 runs scored) each provided multiple hits as Courtney Wagstaff pitched the win allowing four hits.
C-P 11, M-W 9: At Swift Field, the Lady Colts held on for the win at home over the Yellowjackets.
C-P used an eighth-run surge in the third inning to open a 10-0 lead and eventually went ahead 11-1 before the M-W generated the final eight runs of the game and sent the potential tying run to the play in the seventh inning before falling short.
Sabrina Johnson fanned 10, walked four and limited M-W to just three hits in notching the win. Morgan Doyle belted a two run homerun while Eve Whalen singled twice and Kylie McKinley doubled. Hailey Hennessy chipped in a single.
Taylor Marcellus lined a double for M-W. Bridget Beldock and Desiree Pryce each singled.
Chateaugay 20, Tupper Lake 3 (5 innings): Courtney Boyea pitched the win, scattering four hits, as the Lady Bulldogs broke the game open with a 12-run barrage in the top of the second inning. Abby Barnes and Kim Reville both slugged homeruns to highlight a potent Chateaugay offense. Boyea aided her cause by launching a double.

Medications and Dry MouthMonday, January 10th, 2011
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's (CDC) National Center for Health Statistics more than half of all Americans take some type of prescription drug. Many drugs list dry mouth and taste disorders as side effects. A little halitosis or a slight change in the ability to taste may not be a big deal compared to ailment or disorder the medication treats, but it may be off-putting to those around you and is treatable.
Here are a few medications that are known to cause bad breath:
Triamterene – a diuretic that is often used to treat high blood pressure and edema. Another interesting side effect is that it may cause your urine to turn bright blue.

Dr. Thomas McGuire
Dr. Thomas McGuire is both an artist and art enthusiast. As a child growing up poor in the South Bronx, McGuire was drawn to the visual world, especially color. At the age of 12, he saw an advertisement for an art correspondence course and submitted an application. His parents could not afford the course, and thought art was an impractical career choice.
Those financial practicalities influenced McGuire's education and career decisions. He chose to study medicine, reasoning that he could have a satisfying career helping others and turn to art later. Even so, art was always an important part of his life. As an intern at Northwestern University, homesick and a little blue, he visited a gallery and saw a painting that matched his mood. That painting became the first in his extensive collection and hangs today in his New York City apartment. "Collecting became a passion," he says.
When McGuire came to Sarasota 20 years ago, he sought opportunities to add to his collection by purchasing art from Ringling students. "I buy art from students whenever I can," he says. He has purchased many pieces over the years—at the College's sidewalk sales, from students whose work appeared in Best of Ringling exhibitions, and at campus art sales. McGuire is delighted by the growth and direction he has seen at Ringling. "The progress has been amazing," he says. "We're happy to have Ringling in our town. When people talk about other art colleges as being the best, I say, 'No, it's Ringling!'"
McGuire's homes, including his house in Santa Fe, New Mexico, are testaments to his love of art and his passion for collecting. Art is everywhere. However, not all of the pieces were purchased. McGuire created some of them himself. While his medical career flourished, McGuire made time to take art classes, even during his army service. Today he paints regularly, always keeping a set of watercolors with him. He especially enjoys taking classes.
When Sarasota Museum of Art's (SMOA) president, Wendy Surkis, shared Ringling and SMOA's idea to turn the historic Sarasota High School building into a destination for visual learning with a museum as its centerpiece, McGuire was captivated. The project brought together his passion for art, for Ringling College, and for expanding opportunities to study art. "The idea of a dual-purpose museum and studio setting is wonderful," says McGuire. "It will provide opportunities for people like me to take classes in a first-class academic setting."
Through his boundless enthusiasm, his desire to ensure that all members of the community have access to art, and his exceptional generosity, McGuire has contributed to the creation of a new vision for artists and art lovers in Sarasota.
The Thomas F. McGuire MD Studio, named in honor of McGuire's donation of $1 million to the project, will exemplify the architect's vision for the center—to design a building in which those creating art and those viewing art will have a shared experience. Spanning two stories, the studio will have windows on the upper level that will allow museum visitors to view the process of making art as community members take classes in the studio below. The artists, in turn, will be able to look up into the museum. Through those windows, the process of creating and viewing art will come together.
"Art is important in a person's life. If you're ever looking and can't find me, I'm probably in a gallery or museum," laughs McGuire.
One day soon, you will find him taking a painting class in the studio he made possible as SMOA visitors look on appreciatively.

Hello Solvetek,
Hope this reply finds you doing well. In regard: "I would like to set static IP addresses on both linux boxes so that I do not have to change /etc/hosts when DHCP changes their IP" which flavor of Linux do you have? If you have red hat like flavors (Fedora, CentOS) you need to use directory (CentOS) /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth?(?=number of ethernet adapter). Also you can use the network connections tools.
Now, if you want to set a static public IP, then that's another story. You can use tools such as: http://www.whatismyip.com/ to find your public IP, but they change. If you are a business and want to get a static IP for web hosting, then you need to go to an ISP.
I hope this is some help. Take care.
