Homeschoolers and Sports
I'm still on the fence about the participation by homeschooled kids on public school sports teams, but they're in the news, so they get included. This first article from Arizona has a good mix of the pluses and minuses of public school sports participation by homeschooled kids.
- Arizona Republic, Phoenix, Arizona, 15 October 2005, Teams find good sports can start at home school
Of the 20 Class 5A Division I schools in the Phoenix area, eight now have home-schooled students playing for their sports teams.
And while no one keeps statistics on the total number of home-schooled athletes, administrators say the number is increasing, much as the overall number of home-schooled students overall is increasing.
The college factor
There are social advantages to playing on a high school team, and it also provides exposure to college coaches and a resume booster for college applications.
The Air Force Academy, for instance, urges home-schooled students who wish to enroll to play organized competitive sports and asks parents to sign up their children for high school teams when possible.
Jarod Gorla, 19, who played baseball for Mesquite High School in Gilbert, said the alternative to playing for a public school is to join a league made up of teams of home-schooled students such as the East Valley Athletes for Christ. Gorla said while that is an option for some athletes, he wanted to play against better competition in the public school system.
Liability concerns
When the Legislature was debating the new policy in 1999, the main issue of contention was related to insurance and liability policies in Arizona.
Rep. Leah Landrum Taylor, D-Phoenix, said the Legislature wasn't against allowing home-schooled students to participate in organized sports, but was worried the schools would become liable for injuries to non-public school students.
"When you get right down to it, what type of coverage would the state then be liable for these kids who play for teams at public schools?" she said.
The association warns parents that demanding access to public school sports teams could lead to more government involvement in the children's education.
Playing for a public school team means the state is justified in verifying grades and attendance that are normally private for home-schoolers.
This next article is in the 'better late than never category,' and is about a homeschooler participation in the private National Wheelchair Basketball Association's US Women's Basketball Festival.
- The Birmingham News, Birmingham, Alabama, 29 Sep 2005, Tourney tips off today at Lakeshore Foundation
Ron Lykins had the formula for success at the Paralympics last year. The U.S. women's wheelchair basketball team coach had a squad that scored more points than anybody else and allowed the least.
Twenty-one of the nation's best women's basketball players will be on Lakeshore's Homewood campus. Six of those players were on the Paralympic squad last year; they have the advantage of knowing Lykins' system.
Three players with Alabama ties are in the festival – Gardendale home-schooler Meredith Jett and two players from the University of Alabama. Mary Allison Milford is a freshman from Arkansas; Stephanie Wheeler, a UA graduate student from North Carolina, was on the Athens Paralympic squad.
Belated congratulations to all the players.

All the tennis courts on Jarvis Field have now been marked out and are ready for use. Yesterday afternoon the ground was still a little too soft for accurate judgment in taking swift drives, but use of the courts will remedy this. In case of a sudden freeze, which would stop the use of the courts, a notice will be posted in Leavitt's window.

- How to Read a Study Record
This trial was conducted at about 50 sites in Europe and has been clinically completed. Patients had symptoms of painful diabetic neuropathy for 6 months up to 5 years with an optimized diabetic control and at least moderate pain. Patients were not eligible with other chronic pain or any other medical or psychiatric condition, that would have jeopardized or compromised the patient's ability to participate in the trial. After a 2-week run-in phase patients were randomly assigned to one of three treatment arms. All patients who had completed the 6-week titration phase to reach their target dose entered a 12-week maintenance phase. At the end of the maintenance phase, subjects were offered the option of entering the open-label, follow-on trial. The change in pain was measured daily as well as interference of pain with sleep and general activity.

Asia Cup: Sri Lanka beat holders Pakistan by five wickets in final
Asia Cup final, Mirpur:
Sri Lanka 261-5 (46.2 overs) beat Pakistan 260-5 (50 overs) by five wickets
Sri Lanka cruised to a five-wicket win over holders Pakistan to lift the Asia Cup in Mirpur.
Pakistan made 260-5 from their 50 overs thanks to Fawad Alam's 114, before opener Lahiru Thirimanne hit 101 to help Sri Lanka seal victory with 22 balls remaining.
Fast bowler Lasith Malinga's 5-56 restricted Pakistan after they had recovered well from 18-3.
It is the first time Sri Lanka have won the trophy since 2008.
Recent Asia Cup finals
2012: Pakistan beat Bangladesh by two runs
2010: India beat Sri Lanka by 81 runs
2008: Sri Lanka beat India by 100 runs
2004: Sri Lanka beat India by 25 runs
2000: Pakistan beat Sri Lanka by 39 runs
Having won the toss and decided to bat, Pakistan needed more heroics from Fawad, who hit 74 off 70 balls against Bangladesh to seal their place in the final.
He shared in a third-wicket partnership of 122 in 32.1 overs with Misbah-ul-Haq and then helped Pakistan accelerate by adding 115 in only 13 overs with wicketkeeper Umar Akmal, who hit 59 off 42 balls.
He finally reached his first one-day international century off 134 balls, including eight fours and three sixes.
Sir Lanka also struggled in reply, spinner Saeed Ajmal dismissing opener Kusal Perera and Kumar Sangakkara with successive balls to leave them struggling on 56 for two.
But Thirimanne teamed up with former captain Mahela Jayawardene and forged a 156-run third-wicket stand spanning 27 overs to put them back on course.
Jayawardene fell for 75 - his highest score in 15 one-day internationals since scoring 107 against India in Kingston last July - but Thirimanne continued to reach his century and all but secure Sri Lanka's triumph.
It is their fifth Asia Cup success, equalling the record of India.

Archive for the 'Diamonds Are Forever' tag
Las Vegas, 1967, and Pie Town, 1940
From the always-interesting Retro World comes this shot of Las Vegas, circa 1967. Doesn't even take a look at a map to tell us this is Fremont Street looking west, long before it was turned into a pedestrian-friendly theme park. Not a few years later, James Bond would cruise this strip in "Diamonds Are Forever."
Carspotters, have at it!
And for those of you with an aversion to sensory overload, let's also take a look at a scene that's about as unlike Fremont Street as possible. For that, we go to Pie Town, New Mexico, part of a series of shots of that town's fair taken in October 1940 by Russell Lee. What do you see here?

Coastal access for all… even in Dana Point
June 16 2011 | Policy, Victories, Coastal development, Chapters, Beaches, Campaigns, Activism, Surfing,
Imaging walking down to the beach in California and seeing the sign to the left.
The sign states that the beach now has banker's hours, 8am - 5pm seven months out of the year.
The beach has bankers hours?
This means if you want to go for a run on the beach before work or head out for a dawn patrol surf session... you can't.
You can't because the beach isn't open yet.
No more sunset walks... the beach closes an hour before sunset today.
Starbucks has longer hours than this.
Does anyone else think this is completely unacceptable?
Surfrider believes that our coastlines should be open and accessible by the public. We believe in access for all... not just some.
These two surfers came from Seal Beach to Dana Point this morning and met a "beach not open until 8am" sign... they also met a TV crew. The cameras were there because this particular development, The Strand in Dana Point, was unlawfully locking the public's access to the beach. These signs and the locked gate next to the sign is illegal.
The Strand in Dana Point has done all it can to "sell" the beach to the highest bidders. In this case the beach is for sale, via an oceanfront lot, for between six and twelve million dollars. If The Strand was allowed to lock the public out of beach access they would set a precedent for the rest of the state.
The California Coastal Commission has ruled this is illegal. The California Coastal Commission agrees that the coast is all of ours, it's not to be locked up behind a gate for a privileged few.
Surfrider Foundation views beach access as a universal right. Surfrider Foundation works to secure universal, low-impact beach access for all people. Surfrider Foundation's members live, work, visit, and recreate on and near the world's beaches, and are impacted by beach access limitations. Our policy on beach access is here.
The last photo below is of local Rick Erkeneff.
Rick as lived in Dana Point since the 70s. He's walked these beaches and surfed these waves for the last few decades and today... he can't... until the banks open at 8am.
This morning he shared his passionate, personal story to the news crews this morning.
He shared that the beach that has belonged to the public forever has recently been snagged away from them by a developer.
We're pleased the California Coastal Commission set the record straight on this issue. We look forward to these locked gates coming down.

Frequently Asked Questions
Here you will find answers to the most frequently asked questions.
If you do not find the answer you are seeking, please contact us through on-line chat or through email. Here you will find answers to the most frequently asked questions.
Back to Main FAQ's
Any payment account that is not found in a traditional credit bureau report is considered "non-traditional" or "alternative" credit. We use the word Alternative. Typically, property managers and landlords, utility companies, cell phone providers, insurance companies and many other service providers, as well as many small finance companies, do not report their customer's account information and payment history to the national credit bureaus; nor are they obligated to do so. Reporting credit and payment information is a totally voluntary option. However, just because it is not reported does not mean it is not valuable or useful.
Federal Law recognizes the importance of alternative credit information. Everyone is entitled under the Equal Credit Opportunity Act (ECOA) to present any alternative credit accounts for which they are responsible to anyone who requires a credit check when their creditworthiness is being assessed. Consumers can and should use this law to their advantage.
There are very few guidelines surrounding the use of alternative credit accounts related to consumer lending. For the purpose of federally backed mortgage loans, the Federal Housing Administration (FHA), Fannie Mae (FNMA), and Freddie Mac (FNMC) enacted policies for the verification and use of alternative credit, and established a tier system for the various types of alternative credit accounts based on their significance as credit references. Ranked in order of significance, account types are categorized into four separate tiers, with Tier I credit accounts weighted more heavily than Tier II, which are in turn weighted more heavily than Tier III, etc. These guidelines form the basis for the AMP Credit Rating model, and the eCredable verification policies.
The list below outlines the Four Tiers of accounts that comprise the AMP Credit Rating and the types of accounts that make up each tier.
Tier I credit includes payments for:
Tier II credit includes payments for:
Tier III credit includes payments for:
Tier IV credit includes payments for:
Given today's economic climate, there is increasing support for the use of "alternative" credit. There are 50 million Americans who don't have enough "traditional" credit history with the three major credit bureaus to get a credit score. This group includes young adults with little or no access to traditional credit, recently divorced or widowed individuals with little or no credit in their own names, newly arrived immigrants, individuals with previous bankruptcies, and individuals who consciously shun the traditional banking system.
The financial history of regular bill payments such as rent, utilities, insurance and any other recurring payment obligations (i.e. payments for obligations other than "debt") is generally referred to as "alternative", "non-traditional" or "secondary" credit. In reality, these bill payment obligations are primary for most households. They are classified as alternative because the payment history information is not reported to the major credit bureaus.
Regardless of whether you have no credit file, a thin credit file, or a credit file with negative credit information, your alternative credit information can help you in any of these situations. If you have no credit file, or a thin credit file with no score, and you make on-time monthly payments, your alternative credit file may help you establish a payment history with any potential creditor. If you your credit file contains negative payment information, your alternative credit file may help to offset those negative marks by showing the creditor a more complete picture of your credit history. Even if you have good credit, but only one or two accounts, your alternative credit file may further boost your overall credit profile by demonstrating across many more credit accounts how conscientious you are about making timely payments.
Section 202.6(b)(6) of the Equal Credit Opportunity Act (ECOA) is a Federal law, enforced by the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) that states:
To the extent that a creditor considers credit history in evaluating the creditworthiness of similarly qualified applicants for a similar type and amount of credit, in evaluating an applicant's creditworthiness a creditor shall consider: (i) The credit history, when available, of accounts designated as accounts that the applicant and the applicant's spouse are permitted to use or for which both are contractually liable; (ii) On the applicant's request, any information the applicant may present that tends to indicate that the credit history being considered by the creditor does not accurately reflect the applicant's creditworthiness; and (iii) On the applicant's request, the credit history, when available, of any account reported in the name of the applicant's spouse or former spouse that the applicant can demonstrate accurately reflects the applicant's creditworthiness.
The LAW in effect says creditors considering your credit in evaluating your creditworthiness, MUST take into consideration any payment accounts for which you are responsible, if you present the information to them.
If you have little or no traditional credit and no credit score, an AMP Credit Report and AMP Credit Rating may help you show any potential creditor that you have a verified history of on time payments of your monthly financial obligations, from sources that are considered mainstream throughout the financial industry.
If your credit file could use a little help, your AMP Credit Report may help to offset negative history, showing the creditor a more complete picture of your credit history by highlighting your verified history of on-time payments, especially if your monthly financial obligations are from sources that are considered mainstream throughout the financial industry. Especially in today's economic climate, bad things happen to good people. By using your alternative credit file to show a more complete credit profile, your creditor may better understand the circumstances which created that bad mark against your traditional credit file.
Your AMP Credit Report is laid out in an industry standard format that creditors are familiar with. It can be used by the creditor in underwriting and accessed electronically for credit scoring or other purposes. You are entitled to use your AMP Credit Report as a stand alone report, or as a supplement to the bill payments contained in your Equifax, Experian, and TransUnion credit reports; and by law, a creditor MUST consider your AMP Credit Report on your request.
By law, all creditors MUST consider alternative credit information if they use a credit report in assessing the creditworthiness of their applicants and customers. Many major entities such Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac and FHA readily recognize the importance of alternative credit information. Many Credit Unions also readily recognize alternative credit information as a valuable asset in assessing their member's creditworthiness. No doubt, other major financial institutions and service providers weigh alternative credit information in their lending process. Although a creditor is not required to grant you the loan, it is important to know that BY LAW (ECOA Section 202.6(b)(6)), and upon your request, ALL creditors using credit information to evaluate their applicants MUST take information contained in your AMP Credit Report into consideration.
First, you must take care that you always make your bill payments on time. It is important that you can show as much positive payment history as possible when building an alternative credit report.
Second, present your alternative credit to potential creditors in a manner that that makes it easy for them to consider. Building an alternative credit report in a format that the creditor can use, verified by a source that creditors know and trust, can help your creditor streamline their alternative credit verification process. Your AMP Credit Report will provide a creditor with on-line access (with your permission) to your alternative bill payment history, verified by a source that is well known and established in the credit reporting and verification industry, and presented in a format that the creditor is used to working with every day. AMP Credit Report verifications are conducted by one of the premier credit reporting and verification companies in the country. eCredable's verification provider is a member of the National Consumer Reporting Association (NCRA), their verification staff is FCRA certified, and all investigations and verifications meet or exceed the guidelines of Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, HUD and FHA.
Third, time your verification and AMP Credit Report order with your credit event. Just like with traditional credit, creditors will usually want to see the most current picture of your credit possible. You should place your verification order so that your AMP Credit Report is completed within as few days as possible of presenting it to your creditor.
The goal in building alternative credit is to develop a credit history that 1) does not require going into debt to build it, 2) shows that you pay your monthly and regular financial obligations on time, and 3) can be used under ECOA Section 202.6(b)(6).
1. Establish a secure eCredable on-line "self-storage" account that you control. You will be able to view and update your account at any time.
2. Add your bill payment accounts (not reported to Equifax, TransUnion or Experian) to your eCredable profile. The more bill payment accounts that you have and the longer you have paid them on time, the better your profile may look to a prospective creditor, and the higher your rating could be.
3. It could be important that your account information is independently verified by a third-party that is trusted by creditors, such as a member of the National Consumer Reporting Association.
4. Request a verification of the information in your file within the 30 days prior to using it, such as when applying for an apartment or mortgage, credit, utility, phone, or cable service, insurance, or employment. Note: A creditor may view your AMP Credit Report as "current" for 30 days. You should order your verifications and AMP Credit Report with this time frame in mind.
5. You may then download and print your AMP Credit Report, or give ANYONE you choose secure electronic access to the report via a secure password free of charge.
6. Update your file before presenting it to a new creditor or service provider if your verifications are older than 45 days.
The LAW is on your side. Section 202.6 (b)(6) of the Equal Credit Opportunity Act (ECOA) states that anyone must consider your alternative credit if they use a credit report in determining their applicant's creditworthiness. ECOA Sections 202.16(b) and 706(a) and (b) provide for civil penalties up to $10,000 in individual actions, and the lesser of $500,000, or 1 percent of a creditor's net worth in class actions, for violations of ECOA. If you ever feel as though your credit rights have been violated, you may take action and submit a complaint to the appropriate agency.
The first step is to understand the law that protects you.
Second, inform the creditor you are aware of the law that protects you. The creditor may find that they have made a mistake and re-evaluate their decision.
The third step would be to contact your State Attorney General to determine if the creditor violated state laws regarding equal credit opportunity.
The final step would be to file a complaint. A number of federal agencies share enforcement responsibility for the ECOA. Determining which agency to contact depends on the type of financial institution you bank with.

Burke sees unity as first challenge as new Lee schools superintendent POLL
FORT MYERS - Joseph Burke knows he has some work to do.
The Lee County School District's choice as the new superintendent said he believes his job is to create some stability in the district and that job begins with creating some unity with the Lee School Board.
"I want to be there and move the district forward," he said. "We have a lot to do. We need to build a team with the board, the superintendent and the staff to tackle the issues that are facing the district."
No doubt Burke's work on unity is working to bring board member Jeanne Dozier around. Dozier was the only board member to oppose Burke's appointment as superintendent. Burke, 60, was the first or second choice of the remaining four board members.
As the board was making its decision Tuesday, Dozier said she was concerned that Burke was the first choice of a majority of board members.
"I did not hear the word 'students' when he was speaking," she said. "We are a student-oriented organization."
Dozier said she spoke to members of the Monroe County School Board and they told her they wouldn't hire Burke.
After working for the Miami-Dade School District for 27 years, Burke was appointed to his position by then-Gov. Charlie Crist to fulfill the term of ousted Superintendent Randy Acevedo. A jury convicted Acevedo in August 2009 for trying to cover up the theft of school funds by his wife, Monique, a former adult education coordinator.
But Monroe County School Board member Ducan Mathewson said he doesn't see a reason to worry about hiring Burke.
"Dr. Burke is a very experienced educator. He has worked wonders with us over the last 18 months," Mathewson said.
Among his accomplishments, Mathewson said, Burke introduced the International Baccalaureate program into the district. The program, which is already in place in Lee County, provides an advanced course of study for high school students, similar to Advanced Placement courses.
Mathewson also said Burke worked well with the teachers' union and helped Monroe County with its performance pay plan for teachers, as required for the Race to the Top funds.
"I think Monroe County is one of two or three in the state that has that plan worked out with teachers," Mathewson said. "He's also done a lot to reorganize our financial program on firm footing. He's been very effective. I am sorry to see him go."
Attempts to reach Leon Fowler, president of the United Teachers of Monroe teachers union, were unsuccessful.
"I have been told he has not been compliant with state statutes. I have been told he is not compliant with some local ordinances," Dozier said.
Dozier didn't elaborate, but Burke has been criticized for his decision to build Horace O'Bryant K-8 School, which exceeded building height limits set by Key West city code.
Burke has said the Monroe district is on legal ground because school buildings are held to state standards, not local standards.
"That's fundamentally not accurate," he said of Dozier's assertion that he isn't following laws. "But I have not been pressing the point because we are trying to get things worked out with the city."
Still, Burke recognizes that Dozier has problems with him and said he wants her support.
Perhaps his record can help that happen.
During his tenure in Monroe County, the district kept its "A" grade and Florida Comprehensive Assessment Test results show the district improving in reading on the exam with more of those among the lowest 25 percent of students making gains.
Monroe County's graduation rate fell from 1.2 percent to 0.6 percent in the years since Burke has been at the helm, and the district met more of the criteria for adequate yearly progress the first year Burke took over, although that figure dipped again in 2009-10.
While Burke was superintendent in Massachusetts, student scores on a state test similar to the FCAT rose by 26 percent in English and 28.6 percent in math in seven years, according to published reports.
Burke said the Lee County job would be the capstone of his career, something he told the public when he interviewed for the job last week.
"I see this as my last full-time job. I want to retire from Lee County," he said. "There are some good things going on in this district. I want to help the county get to the next level."
Among the things on his list, Burke said he hopes to tackle the issues of transportation and school choice in Lee County.
"The district had a transportation audit and we will need to look at which recommendations we can implement in short order," he said. "I also want to provide leadership to principals. Those are some of my key priorities."
Burke, who has been married for 39 years, said he is grateful that interim Superintendent Larry Tihen and the staff have been so welcoming. Tihen took over when James Browder left last year for a job at Edison State College.
"I am grateful for the quality of staff I am inheriting," Burke said. "That definitely makes the transition easier for me."
The Lee County School Board and Burke will work on a contract, which the Lee County School Board hopes to have approved early next month. The salary range is $165,000 to $195,000.
Burke, who makes about $147,000 yearly in Monroe County, is expected to be sworn in as the new superintendent July 1.

Whether you're considering relocation to Seattle, Washington or just curious about the cost of living in Seattle, Washington, the PayScale Cost of Living Calculator is the place to begin your research. When looking at the cost of living charts below, be sure to pay attention to the housing expense category. Housing costs and mortgage rates can vary by city because local banks can have different mortgage rates from their national competition. If you are serious about relocation to Seattle, Washington, you might want to investigate local mortgage rate options before you put your house up for sale.
Cost of Living in Seattle, Washington by Expense Category
Cost of Living in Seattle, WashingtonIf you are considering relocating to the Pacific Northwest, look no further than the wonderful city of Seattle. Floating bridges, revolving restaurants and an underground city separate Seattle from most other cities in the country. In addition, Seattle is home to the longest continuously running farmer's market in the country, the Pike Place Market. Whether you are watching the infamous "fish throwing" in Pike Place Market, driving over the world's longest floating bridge or exploring the Seattle waterfront, you will find that Seattle's rain does not put a damper on its beauty.
How much will it cost you to live in the beautiful Pacific Northwest? The chart above shows that the cost of living in Seattle is currently 24 percent higher than the national average. The cost of housing is a major factor in this higher cost of living. At 51 percent above the national average, expect your housing costs to be higher if you move to Seattle. Unless, of course, you happen to be moving from an even pricier city such as New York or San Francisco. To see how the cost of living in Seattle compares to other areas, use PayScale's Cost of Living Calculator to get a Cost of Living Comparison for Seattle and other U.S. cities.
Salaries in Seattle, WashingtonHome to companies including Starbucks, Boeing, and Amazon, Seattle is a great place to find a job. Not only are there opportunities for careers in Seattle, many of these careers come with competitive salaries. Comparing median Salaries in Seattle by Job Title shows high annual salaries for many positions in the IT industry. For example, the median salary for senior software engineers is around $98,000. Researching Salaries in Seattle by Employer Type shows that careers in government and health care can also be lucrative.
Salary Comparison for the Greater Seattle AreaSeattle is one of the most Popular Cities in the Greater Seattle Area, but some large companies - and major employers for Seattle residents - are located just outside the city. Because of this, median salaries in Seattle are not the highest in the area. Redmond ranks highest on the Median Salaries by City chart, with significantly higher salaries than Seattle. This is most likely due to Microsoft Corporation, which is headquartered in Redmond, WA. In general, Seattle, as well as nearby cities like Bellevue and Redmond, are popular places to find work. With a mere twenty to thirty minutes between Bellevue, Redmond and Seattle, it is easy to live in Seattle and work in other areas.

Twinlab Launches Herbal Forskohlii Power for Weight Management Support with The Vitamin Shoppe Nationwide*
The Forskohlii Power introduction at The Vitamin Shoppe adds to Twinlab's growing weight management support product offering there, which includes its Bariatric Support line*
NEW YORK – September 12, 2012 – Despite heightened awareness and media attention, weight management is still an issue in the United States. Currently, one-third of adult Americans are classified as obese with a body mass index (BMI) over 30, according to the Weight-control Information Network . But Americans also have an increasing number of weight management support options, including low-calorie diets, supplementation programs and other interventions. Two trusted names in health and fitness, Twinlab and The Vitamin Shoppe, are prepared to help.
Twinlab recently introduced its herbal and newly enhanced Nature's Herbs® Forskohlii Power™ weight management support supplement at The Vitamin Shoppe (NYSE:VSI), which is on store shelves now.* Another exciting Twinlab product line already available at The Vitamin Shoppe is the Bariatric Support line, specifically formulated to help serve the nutritional needs of bariatric surgery patients.
"We are constantly striving to fully support the needs of people who are consciously managing their weight, regardless of their specific approach," said Kate Pastor, Executive Vice President of Twinlab Corporation. "A critical part of this is making our products easily accessible and widely available. The Vitamin Shoppe's impressive distribution footprint, coupled with the professional guidance and personal service available at every location, allows more people in more places to access Twinlab's quality products."
A Natural Approach to Weight Management Support*
Forskohlii Power represents the perfect balance of Ayurvedic tradition and modern science, and researchers report that forskohlin, the key constituent in Coleus forskohlii, the main ingredient in Forskohlii Power, may help to support weight management efforts.* The recently updated formula now contains a higher percentage of forskohlin for increased benefits. Each capsule delivers 125 mg of premium quality Coleus forskohlii standardized for 10 percent (12.5 mg) forskohlin, the same standardized level of forskohlin used in clinical research.
A Trusted Source for Post-bariatric Surgery Nutritional Support
Twinlab's Bariatric Support line is a supplementation program designed in collaboration with bariatric surgeons and specialists to provide high quality, great-tasting products that help support the specific nutritional needs of bariatric patients. The Bariatric Support line provides convenient options for some of the most common post-surgery nutritional needs, helping patients meet their daily requirements for several key nutrients, including protein, iron, calcium, B vitamins and vitamin D.
Twinlab and The Vitamin Shoppe
The expanding partnership between The Vitamin Shoppe and Twinlab has been solidified through this recent announcement. Twinlab continues to be a dominant brand within the industry, and The Vitamin Shoppe is a leader in retailing nutritional products and connecting with their consumers. The Vitamin Shoppe also invests its time not only expanding the growth in products, but also educating their Health Enthusiasts in store on the product lines they currently carry.
"Twinlab has been a tremendous partner over the years and continues to bring new products and innovations to the market," said Doug Jones, Senior Vice President of Merchandising for The Vitamin Shoppe. "Their bariatric line is just one example of how they continue to search for the best products for consumers who are serious about their health. Twinlab is a great partner to The Vitamin Shoppe."
Twinlab's Forskohlii Power and Bariatric Support line are available nationwide in The Vitamin Shoppe.

New: Tutorial on "Blotting" for oral health
Hi folks,
I've decided to offer some valuable information to my clients that isn't available elsewhere free of charge.
When you become a client of mine by ordering the Customized Eating Guidelines or doing email consults with me, I will send you my five-page PDF article with detailed instructions on the
"Blotting Technique" for oral health.
I wrote these instructions because I felt that the printed instructions I found from various sources weren't thorough enough.
- I will also send my instructions free of charge to any clients since January, '09 - just ask.
- Others can purchase it for $8. Find it on the Ordering page.
So, what is "blotting?"
Blotting is a remarkably effective method for healing teeth and gum problems naturally, by removing plaque. It not only improves the health of teeth and gums, but you'll notice other positive effects as well - the mouth is connected to the rest of the body, a fact that the dentists often overlook!
Regular brushing only pushes plaque into the crevices between the teeth and gums, and doesn't actually remove it!
Oil pulling is an effective method for pulling toxins from around the teeth and gums, but oil pulling is not always convenient, and some people find it unpleasant. Those who are already oil pulling can do blotting in addition, or whichever is more convenient on a particular day. See what works well for you.
The Price-Pottenger Foundation sells a very good DVD showing Dr. Phillips teaching the technique in detail, although it costs about $30. They also sell a small instruction booklet on blotting, which may not be enough for people to learn the technique properly.
So I recommend taking advantage of my offer. If you are ordering email consults or the Customized Eating Guidelines, just ask me to send you the "blotting instructions."

Richtree Natural Market
Richtree Natural Market has taken over the entirety of the Eaton Centre's former South-end food court. The new space right at the mouth of the Queen TTC station encompasses eleven varied food service concepts including an organic grocery mart, as well as, a cafe, bake shop, deli counter, licensed bar and numerous quick service eateries.
If you remember the former incarnation, (as I do from the perspective of a one-time mall worker), you will likely recall the jumbled lines and frenetic check-out process. Now, convenience has really become key, each counter is equipped with its own point of sale machines, and ordering options like electronic kiosks, a mobile app and online ordering page can consolidate orders from the multiple kitchens for easy pick-up in one spot.
The offerings are diverse. There's City Zen, a sushi shop; Queen Street Deli where sandwiches are piled high with nitrate-free meats to order; a self-serve, pay-by-weight salad bar; Happy Bowl, an Asian rice/noodle/quinoa bowl concept, Custom Grill, a burger shop; Street Eats, where the specialty is build-your-own tacos; and, Pizzeria Bosco which does ready to go slices and made-to-order personal pies.
I sampled a bunch of stuff, starting with the Arty Parm Pizza ($10) on a sourdough base (there's white and flax seed gluten-free crust option available too). It's sauced with artichoke parmesan spread and studded with chunks of herb roasted chicken and sweet peppadew peppers then topped with four cheeses.
The Ultimate Cheese Burger ($8) is one of 15 burgers on offer, this one classically done up with Ontario cheddar, pepper jack and all organic toppings. Other more inventive burgers include a Korean BBQ burger, poutine burger and wa'sabi burger. Each is loaded onto a brioche bun with a choice of turkey, beef or veggie patty, add handcut fries for $1.
Served in brightly coloured melamine bowls or biodegradable take-away containers there are hearty options like the Korean Beef Bowl ($10) featuring wok-fried sirloin strips in Gochujang sauce (fermented chili sauce) with bok choy, sprouts and sheets of nori.
The Foundation Bar offers cocktails, wines and beers including their own, exclusive Treehouse Draft Lager ($8/pint). On weeknights happy hour from 5pm to 7pm makes all drinks half price.
The new Richtree prides itself on being a source of organic, locally sourced foods. It aspires to make good food convenient, fast, tasty and affordable. Once inside, there are different pockets of seating and interactive Fruit Ninja-inspired projections to keep kids entertained. Bonus: they offer free wifi.
Richtree Natural Market is open daily from 6am until midnight. Catering is available with 24 hours notice.

The sauces at Happy Bowl are salty.
Placement of plastic utensils in the same unit as the garbage/recycling is odd and a potential hygiene breech.
The flow through the restaurant and the seating arrangement seems disorganized.
Prices are in line with the Urban eatery and quick grab and go stuff like veggies, salads, etc. are also in line with the prices of downtown supermarkets.
Not that I would ever go to Richtree anyways. I'm not a tourist.
For those who say it is not a big deal how they fired the employees one day it could be you. We all need to care more corporate greed is winning to much. Time to push back
also, you're a twat.
I will never eat at any Richtree again unless they hire all their fired workers back with retro-pay.
Can't you guys at least pretend you have some ethics left?
I hate the overpriced food at Richtree even more!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I work by here - so would check out to see prices/quality of food before boycotting, bravo for your "paramount principles".
Reeks too much of PR speak.
Seriously? The allegation is that Richtree violated Ontario labour laws. Are you even remotely aware of what the issue is here?
I dont see how its more modern and fun...shits like a maze... Im not for the previous location itself..Richtree is just a big scam...I rather eat real healthy food AND then EAT JUNK FOOD like KFC and McDonalds... realize the truth... Also..ask where its from? Organic from where? Each state has a different level...
Honestly...someone shouts the word "organic" and everyone thinks its all well. I worked at Whole Foods in Marketing and trust me, there is a lot of deceiving going on.
Also- The sashimi they get is from the same supplier of Loblaws and Longos... FYI lol.... suckerss
In answer to your second question, no.
In answer to your implied ignorance of all things legal, possibly a quick read through the employment code and/or history of unions would be in order.
And the courts can handle the union dispute- in the end, it's no different than every other fast food spot they're competing with not using union employees.
(in the kitchen) its just regular non organic, unnatural, preservative filled product. And Richtree doesnt even recycle yet we act as though we're all about GOOD. Take a second to look past the flash shiny bright tv screens. Its like a giant false advertisement. Ya it tastes great but NO its not good for you. Example: One slice of cake has 700 - 2000 calories. :( Hmm.. natural but in no way good for you... the coffee isnt organic or fair trade. Sorry to rant but it's really just a lot of lies upon lies.
Anyways, the food and atmosphere is amazing for a food court(better than the one at promenade), I would encourage people to actually try it out. They have beers and wings for $6!!
Besides the kitchen is an absolute mess and the over priced options... I won't eat here again

Emma Stone covers Glamour UK's February 2013 issue and spoke to the magazine about paparazzi and making her friends jealous with a comment about Ryan Gosling.
The actress, who is currently dating her Amazing Spider-Man co-star Andrew Garfield, remembered auditioning with Gosling for Crazy, Stupid, Love and telling her friends about it one night at the airport.
"I can still remember the first time I auditioned with Ryan for Crazy, Stupid, Love. My friends took me to the airport that night and when they asked me what I'd been doing all day, and I said that I'd been writhing around all over Ryan Gosling's bed, they were like, 'Right! Get on that plane!' I guess that is pretty weird to hear," Stone told Glamour UK, as quoted by E! News.
But with success comes paparazzi and the 24-year-old revealed her new-found paranoia.
"It's weird in Los Angeles…[they] hiding out everywhere. The hardest thing is that it makes me act like an a**hole because I now have this weird level of paranoia that I never had before. It feels like having a private investigator on you or something," Stone explained, according to Just Jared.
"You find yourself walking around holding your head up like you're looking in the mirror – and your friends are wondering what's wrong with you," she laughs.
"Then I feel like a jerk because half the time there's nobody there … still, I really don't want to be caught with a burger all over my face," she continued.

Oh Summer…you conjure up so many wistful memories. Of sun dappled skin, gazing up at the night sky from blankets hurriedly thrown upon still-warm ground, car rides with windows down as the evening breeze runs through our hair… sigh.

Institutional Analysis (I.A.): Matching What Institutions Do with What Works for People
Item #18
This packet contains two articles describing Institutional Analysis (I.A). In The Institutional Analysis: Matching What Institutions Do with What Works for People, Ellen Pence describes to agency leaders the value and process of using I.A. She links her article to a compilation of interviews with people conducting I.A.s as part of their agencies. Three DVD's and one CD accompany the resource, including an electronic version of Institutional Analysis: Making Changes from Below, written by Dorothy Smith with input from Ellen Pence, focusing on I.A. as a scientific methodology of analyzing institutions as they intersect in the lives of people who are mostly marginalized. Smith describes how I.A. identifies specific practices used by institutions that create gaps between those institutions and the people needing their services.

A Florida man was shot dead by deputies of the Lake County Sherriff's Department at 1:30 a.m. Sunday when they failed to identify themselves as police officers and banged on the door of his apartment.
The officers were pursuing alleged attempted murderer Jonathan Brown, whom they had seen attempt to smash another individual in the head with a concrete block, when they trailed him to an apartment complex. Police then located a motorcycle on which they believed Brown had fled and began to bang on the door of the apartment across from where it was parked.
The apartment belonged to 26-year-old Andrew Scott, a man reportedly unrelated to the incident the police were investigating, who answered the door wielding a handgun. The officers, who said they did not identify themselves as police when banging on the door, claim that Scott pointed the weapon at them after opening the door. An officer then opened fire, killing Scott.
Wesh.com Orlando reports that the police say they are not at fault in the man's killing.
"When we knocked on the door, the door opened and the occupant of that apartment was pointing a gun at deputies and that's when we opened fire and killed him," Lake County officer Lt. John Herrell said. "…It's just a bizarre set of circumstances. The bottom line is, you point a gun at a deputy sheriff or police office, you're going to get shot."
The police later arrested Brown and another man involved with the crime they were investigating near the apartment where Scott was shot.
As police throughout the Nation continue to become increasingly militarized and deal with increasingly heinous crimes committed by criminals made reckless by hopelessness, this is only the latest in a string of stories of innocent civilians put in danger by police mistakes in the everyone-is-a-criminal environment.
They sometimes destroy the homes of innocents in SWAT raids.
Sometimes, they throw flashbang grenades through the windows of the wrong home and terrify grandmothers.

Like so many powerful innovations, central air conditioning is easy to take for granted. The cool, dry air that whispers unceasingly from wall and ceiling registers can lull us into a false sense of security. Then an electric bill arrives, or the system starts to falter. Suddenly we realize that basic maintenance was called for--just cleaning the air filter would have cut cooling costs 5 to 15 percent. Or perhaps it's time to replace an old and inefficient central air conditioner. There are a number of options to consider, including high-efficiency systems that can reduce electrical cooling costs 20 to 30 percent. Here's a crash course in the mechanical system that helps you keep your cool when temperatures start to climb.
How It Works
1. Traditional Central Air
%" align="center" style="padding:2px;border-right:1px solid #ccc;">
2. Mini-Duct System
%" align="center" style="padding:2px;">
3. Split Ductless System
%" align="center" style="padding:2px;border-right:1px solid #ccc;">
%" align="center" style="padding:2px;">
%" align="left" style="padding:2px;border-right:1px solid #ccc;">Houses heated with boilers lack ducts to distribute cooled air. They can be centrally cooled with mini-duct systems in which an evaporator coil, fan and trunk duct are located in the attic. Cooled, high-velocity air is piped from the trunk duct through flexible, insulated plastic ducts.
%" align="left" style="padding:2px;">A ductless split system is the answer for many homes that are not centrally cooled or that need more cooling after an addition is built. The compressor-condenser serves one or more evaporator coil fan units installed on the inside walls of the house.
The Refrigeration Cycle
Mechanical, chemical and thermal energy act together in your central air-conditioning system to cool and dehumidify indoor air. Here's how.
1. Warm liquid refrigerant is driven under high pressure toward the evaporator coil.
2. Near the evaporator, the liquid flows through a metering device that functions like a garden-hose nozzle. It converts the warm, high-pressure liquid into warm, low-pressure droplets.
3. As the droplets enter the evaporator coil they begin to cool, and the droplets are transformed into cold vapor.
4. A fan blows warm, humid indoor air over the cold coil. Moisture in the air condenses and drips off the coil into a pan to be drained or pumped away. The gas in the coil warms as it removes heat from the indoor air.
5. When the compressor turns on, it draws the warm gas toward its suction port. The gas enters as a warm vapor and leaves hot and at high pressure. Now it enters the condenser, and as it makes its way through the labyrinth of tubing, it gives up its heat to air moved by the condenser fan. The gas condenses into a warm liquid ready to repeat the cycle.
Cutting Costs With Solar
Equipment Check
The best way to ensure a steady flow of cool, dry air this summer is to do a little basic maintenance this spring.
Maintaining Strong Air Flow
"The key to maintenance is air flow," according to PM contributor Pat Porzio, a heating-cooling contractor and mechanical engineer. Ensure that air can move freely through the compressor-condenser by using a shop vacuum to remove grass clippings, leaves, dryer lint and any dust discharged from a central vacuum system. If the equipment is near a dryer vent, check it weekly.
Caring for Fins
Clean dirty compressor-condenser fins using specialized foaming cleaner, sold at supply houses and on the Web. Don't use household cleaners, which can cause corrosion. Rinse the fins with a garden-hose nozzle pointed down, not horizontally, to avoid blasting dirt into the equipment. Straighten bent fins with a tool such as this fin comb (shown above), grahamtool.com.
Inside the House
+ Check the air filter monthly and replace it when necessary.
+ Keep the thermostat set at 78 F.
+ Seal leaky ducts with mastic and tape to prevent loss of cooled air and infiltration of dust and dirt into the duct system.
+ Seal gaps around the home that allow cool air to escape.
+ Open vents that were closed during the winter.

dBridge talks us through his six favourite tunes of all time. From The Stone Roses, The Cure and DJ Krust to Stevie Wonder, Slum Village and Spacek, find out why their tracks mean so much to him.
1. The Stone Roses - Fools Gold
Your first song is from 1989 and a stone-cold indie classic that most people will know. Some people might be surprised you've gone for this so why is it on the list?
It reminds me of a special time of my youth, underage drinking and I getting into drugs! I used to live in a small village in Malvern so I didn't have much to do. It was generally drink, drugs and music. We were all really getting into that whole Manchester scene: Inspiral Carpets, The Charlatans, Happy Mondays, bands like that, and The Stone Roses really stood out.
Their debut album really struck a chord with me. It was in my transitional stage as well because I was heavily into The Doors and Hendrix. So at the time they were one of the first modern groups that I discovered and was getting into but were still pretty underground.
Fools Gold always stuck with me as one of my favourite tunes. They used the Hotpants break on that as well so it was borderline breakbeat. I was into a lot of indie bands around this time as well like Chapterhouse, Public Image Limited, Pixies, Stump, My Bloody Valentine, The Cure.
When I moved from London to Malvern I got into these sort of bands. When I was younger I was surrounded by reggae and stuff like that but moving out to Malvern it was very sort of white, working to middle class area and I was one of only three mixed race people in town. It was a very guitar based community so that's where my love for The Doors and things that came from. I was also in a band as a lead singer and we used to do covers of Simple Minds, Steppenwolf and Cream and I was really into old 60s and 70s bands as well. I've always loved guitar bands.
I think it's good coming from that background and getting into electronic music and having more of a varied outlook on music. I know people quite close to me that have grown up on just drum & bass and electronic music and their outlook is quite insular in that sense and that kinda freaks me out a bit. That's one of the reasons I think why I get on with Instra:mental so well, we're really open and honest about our influences. How some of that stuff has seeped into what we're doing. These days I love bands like The xx, Fleet Foxes, Interpol and Maximo Park.
I like how you have your influences sections on your podcasts as well. I noticed on Layer 10 you had Fools Gold and a few other indie classics so no I know it was you that put them on!
Yeah, all that section was me. It's funny as the influences sections are some peoples favourite bits of the podcasts! What I like is that if you listen to it carefully you can hear within our tunes how the influences have permeated into them. Obviously we haven't been very open with who has done what but from our point of view when we listen to our stuff and we listen to influences there is a direct connection.
2. Krust - Future Unknown
Your second pick is Krust's Future Unknown, perhaps a more obvious choice as it's drum & bass. This deep, atmospheric, experimental track from 1997 isn't a million miles away from what you're doing now in fact.
It's my favourite drum & bass track of all time. You can almost feel his pain. I like that about music, being able to recognise or hear their personality in what they're doing rather than a generic paint-by-numbers approach to music. The are some sections within that tune, some of the key changes and chords, it just really tugs at my heart strings. In some ways I'd love to know what was on his mind making this tune but in other ways it's probably best I don't. It's a really powerful song and it was made at the time when drum & bass at its most experimental and really forward thinking. Some of the places it was going with what people like Boymerang, Photek, Ed Rush & Optical were doing.
Do you think drum & bass lost that experimental nature chasing what worked on the dancefloor so much?
Definitely. Instra:mental and I have discussed this and almost see some of what we're doing as continuation, maybe the direction it would have gone if it had have carried on from back then. The scene became dancefloor led, the crowd dictated what should be made and it lost something. I can tell when music is being made for reasons that I don't agree with. You could hear that tracks were being made to get a response and as part of Bad Company I was responsible for a lot of that. Getting the crowd response almost became the core element of making a tune, the whole experimentation and making music for music's sake got lost somewhere.
There are so many different factors as why things are the way they are. People growing up and playing to a new generation of ravers, we've all got mortgages and bills to pay so you can't afford to be experimental any more! That's why in some ways the dubstep scene has kicked people up the arse a bit, definitely me. It's almost like the advantages of youth, you're not tied down by bills and things like that, you literally can just make music for the love of it. I think that got lost in drum & bass for a while.
What I like about what we're doing and our podcasts and some of the stuff that's coming out, it may not necessarily work on the dancefloor but that doesn't mean it shouldn't be made. Getting that attitude across is important, you can make music that isn't just for that one stage.
3. The Cure - Fear Of Ghosts
Next up it's The Cure and most people will know of them but the song you've chosen is one of their more obscure tracks, Fear Of Ghosts. It's an atmospheric track from 1989, was on their rare Love Song EP and was originally to appear on their Disintegration album but was cut. What made you choose this track?
It just takes me back to a real good time time in my life. I originally bought it for the A-side and it's just one of those times when a B-side surprises you. The whole mood of it really sits well with me.
Even now re-listening to it from a production sense, the way it has been put together, the dynamics of it where Robert Smith is whispering and the track seems to be quite subdued and when the guitars come in and it opens up and springs to life.
It's a good example of why there shouldn't be this whole battle for loudness within music. It shows how going from quiet to loud can have as big an effect as any other part of music, it's the whole dynamics of it. You don't have to have everything super loud in your tracks.
It's the kind of track I listen to and try and learn from because as a producer I'm still learning a lot.
4. Stevie Wonder - Angie Girl
Your fourth choice is Stevie Wonder's Angie Girl. It's from 1969, very early in Stevie's career, and not one of his more well known tracks. Tell us more about what this song means to you...
I can guarantee that if I wake up and I'm having a real shit day if I put this song on it well instantly cheer me up. It's that whole thing of feeling someone's emotion again. I'm not sure who he's talking about but you can tell he really loves them. There's a whole positivity flowing through the song. I've started taking piano lessons and I'm drawn towards the chord structure in this tune without even realising. It's a really beautiful song. I love what he does, he's a genius. He's another one who can effect me emotionally with his voice and music and this is a really good example of that. So it's my day starter!
How did you first come across it? Was it your family or something?
No, I actually discovered it less than ten years ago. I like collecting 7"s so I bought For Once In My Life and it's on the B-side. I like discovering new things on the B-side as you can tell!
5. Slum Village - Fantastic Vol 1
Slum Village were a hip hop group from Detroit. Rapper and producer Jay Dee aka J Dilla (who sadly died in 2006) was their most famous member. Their debut album Fantastic Vol 1 was made in 1996 but wasn't officially released until 2005 so it was highly sought after in underground circles. Why did you choose this?
That whole album is genius, J Dilla was an unbelievable producer. My brother, Steve Spacek, got me into him as Dilla remixed one of his tracks. I'm really fussy with hip hop. There's like two schools of hip hop listeners. There are those who listen to the lyrics and other people listen to the music. I've never really been able to connect with the lyrical content of hip hop for some reason. Someone would play me a track and I would have no idea what they were talking about but I would love the rhythm track. However J Dilla's skill in putting together music is unsurpassed. He was like a Jedi on the MPC. I've been an avid collector ever since.
That album reminds of when I was working on my brother's Vintage Hi-tek album, it was always on the car stereo. It was one of those underground beats CDs that not many people had because it took so long to get released. That was my introduction to the world of J Dilla and I never looked back.
6. Spacek - Get Away
You just mentioned your older brother Steve Spacek so this is a tune that is obviously very personal to you. Why this out of all his music?
My brother was the one who got me into making music and is one of my biggest inspirations. This is on his debut album Curvatia and at the time he was creating that album I was starting out in my musical career.
It finally came out in 2001 but it was made long before that. It was released by Island and they shafted him a bit with it. It could have done a lot better. It was in that transitional stage where the old guard in the music industry were being replaced by people who just wanted hits, it wasn't about developing artists. Spacek was definitely an act that could have been developed into something really big. Because the album didn't have that instant hit on it they didn't want to know which is a shame.
dBridge & Instra:mental's FABRICLIVE 50: AUTONOMIC mix is out on Monday February 15th but you can pre-order your copy here.

ORLEANS–It took a long time, but it was well worth the wait as Shaquille Urie scored with just over four minutes to play in regulation to give Lake Region a 1-0 win over Mill River and send them into the second round of the play-offs.
"I thought we played relatively well given the field conditions," said Coach Evans.
For the bulk of game on Tuesday it was the Rangers who were dictating the pace of play on a beaten up and muddy LRUHS field. The team came out early and was aggressive on the ball, winning 50/50 battles and keeping the play in the Mill River end.
