NEWTON, Ga. -- Accusing the opposition of buying absentee votes, officially defeated Baker County Sheriff's office candidate Tim Williamson took his opponent to court.
During a daylong hearing Wednesday, Williamson's attorney, Jimmy Skipper, worked to establish the possibility that some voters were offered $20 and a half-gallon of whiskey to vote for incumbent Baker County Sheriff Dana Meade during the county's Aug. 27 runoff.
Donna Sue Poole, an employee of a local liquor store, testified she heard a young woman say she'd been paid by Vann Irwin to vote for Meade. Irwin is a Baker County Commissioner and a well-known Meade supporter.
Baker County Elections Supervisor Melissa Watson took the stand to explain that the term absentee ballot can be a means of voting prior to the actual day of the election. Under questioning by Skipper, Watson explained and defended the system of voter verification for absentee ballots, including the addresses to which the ballots were sent. Watson acknowledged that once ballots were in the mail, her department no longer had control over them.
During Watson's testimony, it was established that for someone to assist another voter, who may be disabled, that person must be a caregiver or a family member and sign a specific oath to execute the vote appropriately. Officials discovered that Andrea Stubbs, a convicted felon, had assisted at least six separate voters.
"Do you really think she was related to all those people?" Skipper asked.
Judge Gray joked, "Well, this is Baker County, Mr. Skipper."
Also discovered was a stack of 14 absentee ballots with the entire line where Williamson's name appeared ruled with a black marker then Meade's name colored in. Watson admitted the ballots were irregular.
"The truth of it is, irregular doesn't begin to tell the tale," Skipper said. "There's no way that 14 people just got together and decided to change their ballots in the same way."
In closing arguments, Meade's attorney, Bruce Warren, cited Supreme Court guidelines for invalidating elections, claiming none of them applied in the Baker County case. According to Warren, there had been no proven misconduct by Elections officials, nor had any voters been shown to be unqualified.
"Where are those who claim to have been offered money and whiskey for their votes?" Warren asked. "Why haven't they been subpoenaed?"
Using a marker board to illustrate, Skipper added up the six voters assisted by a felon, the 14 marked through, irregular ballots and several more specific ballots he considered suspicious.
"I've been practicing law for 35 years, and I've never seen anything like this," Skipper said. "This election has been stolen from Tim Williamson."
According to Skipper, the additional votes that might have gone to Williamson totaled 72. By Watson's count, Meade won the runoff by only 36 votes.
Skipper asked Gray to declare Williamson winner of the runoff or to order a new election. Following the final arguments, Gray promised a decision by Wednesday.

Haven't you been following the Democrats yelling that there is no such thing as voter fraud? Therefore no need for voter ID.

Vietvet, after last night people may change their minds. What people do not realize is that Romney is not going to stop food stamps and welfare for people who need them. NEED is the operative word. They will have income verified and deserving, you will still get them. Under Obama, we are so far in debt, no one will be getting anything from China.

On Tuesday, Carbon County residents had the opportunity to view some rare, expensive cars parked on Main Street in downtown Helper.
The cars were part of the 2007 Utah Fast Pass, a four-day road trip around the state. Vehicle owners participating in the annual event get to show off their wheels while helping the Utah Highway Patrol.
The cars ranged from a 1970 Shelby GT 500 to a 200 BMW Z8, one of the first models the company manufactured.
This year, there were 32 registered cars taking part in the Utah Fast Pass.
Before participants began the trip around the state, the vehicles were inspected by Utah Highway Patrol troopers.
The purpose of the inspection was to make sure the vehicles complied with street legal rules.
The first leg of the tour was a day at Miller Sport Park in Tooele County. Some of the cars reached speeds of more than 100 miles per hour on the track, something many of the drivers have never done since the vehicles are, for the most part, rare show cars privately owned by non-racers.
The Utah Fast Pass event is designed to showcase the rare "super cars of yesterday and today" in an excursion along Utah's most scenic roads.
The cars in the ensemble that showed up July 31 in Helper came from across the nation and some from outside the confines of the United States.
But the Utah Fast Pass isn't only about speed or showing off rare cars. During the process, event participants raise money for the heroes fund that benefits the families of Utah Highway Patrol troopers who have been injured or killed in the line of duty.
In addition to the participants in the event, the Utah Highway Patrol's presence was clearly evident on Helper's Main Street on Tuesday.
A number of UHP cruisers and motorcycles were on display at the event. Most of the vehicles were escorting the cars from town to town.
Drivers and officials were welcomed by the Helper community and treated to a luncheon at the pavilion near the parkway.
The event also provides scholarships to students in rural communities along the route. Last year, almost $140,000 was raised for scholarships and charities funded through the Utah Fast Pass program.
Donations come from sponsors and the public. For information on donating, residents with Internet access may visit www.utahfastpass.org.

This EDTA chelation suppositories review covers both Calcium Di-Sodium EDTA Chelation Suppositories: and Medicardium.
Medicardium, reviewed below, has a Magnesium Di-Potassium base that carries the EDTA.
EDTA suppository chelation was recommended for me by no other than Dr. Dietrich Klinghardt, world expert in mercury detoxification. It was the KEY product that stopped the downward spiral of my health when I had been suffering for years and didn't know where to turn to restore my previously excellent health.
EDTA suppository was the FIRST method I tried that brought me back once again to feeling youthful and vigorous.
My EDTA chelation suppositories experience
(new window) resulted in benefits WAY beyond my greatest expectations)!
I credit EDTA chelation by suppository with turning my life around!
Calcium Di-Sodium EDTA Chelation Suppositories are the common form of this treatment. The calcium do-sodium carrier of the chelator is made in bulk by many chemical companies, cheap and easily obtainable. **This is the reason calcium do-sodium suppositories are cheaper than the more advanced product I review below.** A calcium di-sodium base (that the EDTA is bound to) is comprised of two substances of which many people already have enough; calcium and sodium (salt).
For some people with a major burden of any toxic heavy metal such as lead, mercury, cadmium, aluminum, uranium etc., the Calcium Di-Sodium EDTA Chelation Suppositories initially work well, as they did for me.
Later, I found the more refined formula of the Medicardium Magnesium Di-Potassium EDTA to be a MUCH better choice to take my health to yet another level.
Another disadvantage of the cheaper suppositories is the methylcellulose compound included in the base ingredients. While inert, it does not have as natural a feel as the cocoa butter/white wax carrier used in Medicardium EDTA chelation suppositories.
Unique Magnesium Di-Potassium EDTA formula: Magnesium is THE hardest mineral to absorb, because of its large molecular size. In addition, soils have been progressively depleted of magnesium. This is because artificial fertilizers do not contain this mineral.
Magnesium is an anti-stress mineral because it de-activates the fight-or-flight part of the autonomic (involuntary) nervous system. Constant stress is very damaging and not natural. You see, sympathetic (fight-or-flight) mode is only meant for acute emergencies.
But too many of us are in that mode far too often to be good for us. The parasympathetic (rest-and-digest) part of our autonomic nervous system should predominate unless there is an emergency.
Parasympathetic mode is where we can best digest our food, relax, enjoy sex and sleep well.
When the parasympathetic part of our autonomic nervous system is slightly predominant, this is the state where healing can proceed undisturbed.
** Dr. Nicholas Gonzalez, famous researcher and cancer doctor in New York City, says that a big part of healing cancer is balancing the autonomic nervous system.
The magnesium in the Medicardium formula helps to de-activate stress mode. AND the potassium part of Medicardium helps to ACTIVATE our 'rest-and-digest' system.
After a few years of using Detoxamin to remove the major burden of mercury, Medicardium was perfect for helping my body to become more supple, by removing the calcium from the muscles and organs where it didn't belong.
My experience (and that of clients and family who use Medicardium) is that it has a PROFOUNDLY relaxing effect.
Medicardium comes in only one size: 365 mg of EDTA. It costs more if you wish to use a larger dose, which would be done by inserting two suppositories at once.
However, this is not really a disadvantage. There is a rationale behind only offering Medicardium in this smaller size.
For someone with compromised liver and/or kidney function, Medicardium may be a better choice because of its lower potency and Magnesium Di-Potassium formula!
As Spencer Feldman, the developer of Medicardium points out, doctors administering his product to their patients affirmed that this dose cannot possibly release an amount of heavy metals that could harm the kidneys.
You see, when an EDTA chelation suppository captures heavy metals, the route of excretion is the bowel. Our gut lining is replaced every 3 days or so, and therefore the bowel is able to quickly repair itself.
Not so the kidneys. They are very delicate. If too large a quantity of heavy metals are released at once, some needs to be then eliminated by the kidneys - NOT A GOOD IDEA!
In fact, Mr. Feldman told me that a medical doctor recommended Medicardium for a patient with only ONE kidney, with no problem whatsoever. (Still, if you have any such condition, get the advice of a doctor).

Rexburg police arrested 26-year-old Christopher Armstrong for reportedly brandishing a handgun during a landlord-tenant dispute.
Capt. Randy Lewis said the arrest followed an argument concerning a plumbing issue and the lease agreement at an apartment at 227 S. Fourth West that happened between 8 p.m. and 8:30 p.m. Thursday.
The altercation reportedly escalated to the point of one of the victims getting knocked down and Armstrong pulling a gun.
One of the victims is the apartment owner's brother. Armstrong was leasing the apartment.
Armstrong posted a $10,000 bond and was released. He is charged with two counts of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon or instrument.
The maximum penalty for aggravated assault with a deadly weapon is five years in prison.

Interbike Gallery: From the Tradeshow Floor—Final
Here is one final photographic trip through Mandalay Bay convention center before the curtain falls for good on this year's Interbike.
We can still hear the ringing of slot machines in our ears, and the feeling of the oppressive desert heat singing our skin hasn't quite worn off, but despite how our bodies and minds may feel after six long days in Las Vegas, Interbike 2013 is officially over.
While the show is still fresh, though, here are a few more noteworthy bits of gear you can expect to see on store floors next year at Interbike.

Tias Little on Yoga, Abortion, and Women's Rights (VIDEO)
Originally published by our elephriends over at Yoga Modern.
Tias Little and Chelsea Roff dialogue about yoga, abortion, and women's rights at the 2011 Yoga Journal Conference in Estes Park:
Tias expands further:
I think it is fantastic what has taken place for women in the world of yoga today. Yoga has been a tremendous source of empowerment, inspiration and confidence building for dedicated female practitioners. In fact it is due to the sheer numbers of women practicing that yoga is being promulgated in North America and around the world today. If it weren't for the volumes of women practicing yoga today, I might be out of a job!
The remarkable explosion of women in yoga today suggests the positive ways in which women are caring for their health, coming to know their bodies and nourishing their spirits. The ramifications of hundreds and thousands of women practicing yoga is that women accrue (familiar in yoga jargon) "core strength". This involves not only a kind of physical centering — which leads to balance, poise and stable bio-rhythms — but also a sense of independence.
Through yoga, women gain self-esteem and are empowered to decide what is best for themselves.
Concurrent with this rise in stature, there is a powerful movement afoot in America to undermine the autonomy and spirit of women. It is coming from the far right, is tied to a strict sense of Christian moral codes, and is making a political move for power. The two main issues stressed by the religious and political right are anti-abortion and anti-gay rights. The objective is to over-turn Roe vs Wade (1973) and strip a woman of her right to forgo an unwanted pregnancy.
Already today, the assistance and guidance of groups such as Planned Parenthood have been curtailed and so a woman's access to counsel has been drastically diminished. The agenda of many within the Christian right is to re-establish the traditional family model. Combined with the anti-abortion agenda, this can only mean that women will be made to stay at home, bear children and play the role dictated for them in the Bible (as some would believe). Women are implored to be a good housewife — second to men.
The ethics around abortion are complex and subtle, especially when it comes to issues of non-violence (ahimsa). Yet when conception takes place inside a woman's body, there can be a myriad of potential factors that come to bear in a pregnancy, karmic forces that involve the struggle for identity and self-transformation.

Arguments can be made that if a woman has an unwanted child, it perpetuates suffering and pain — and causes the cycle of samsara to spin faster. Yoga teachings aim to reduce physical, mental and emotional suffering. I think that a woman has to weigh carefully which of the two — having a child, or having an abortion– perpetuates dhuka (suffering). She should have the freedom to make this choice, rather than have it made for her by state or federal law. True power suggests self-sovereignty, both in a democratic sense and in an inner (spiritual) sense.
In addition to the anti-abortion movement there is another fervor being stirred by Tea Party Republicans and evangelical interest groups today. The sentiment is homophobic and anti gay. This phobia tramples freedom of expression, freedom of personal preference. The quest under way to is to squelch same-sex marriage and by association, to squelch the vital expression of gay culture, one that is carried forth by artists, designers, performers and thinkers alike. With elections coming up in the United States in 2012, there are forerunners in the Republican Party — Rick Perry and Michelle Bachmann– who have an agenda to douse the right-to-choose for gays and women alike. It will no doubt be a struggle for power, and at the center of it is an underlying agenda to undermine one's fundamental right to choose.
The threat toward women's rights (and certainly gay rights as well) is not limited to North America. The explosive changes in the Middle East will bring further questions to the surface of the role of women in society. Within the traditional gender roles in Muslim countries, women are the property of men and their rights of self expression severely restricted. The memoir Reading Lolita in Tehran by Iranian Azar Nafisi, is a remarkable testimony of the struggle of modern day women in Islamic nations to speak freely. In November of 2011, the head of the interim government of Libya post Quaddafi, Mustafa Abdel-Jalil, has proclaimed that polygamy become law (in accord with Sharia, Koran based Islamic law) to the outrage of women throughout Libya.
Not only in the celebratory world of yoga, but in society over the past forty years since the ERA movement in the 1970's, women have been able to carve out greater freedom, greater possibilities than ever before. However in America today we are witnessing a backlash that could be a dire set back to women's rights, influence and vitality.
I think that within yoga circles today, at the grassroots level—that is within community based yoga studios—there could be more active discussion of these issues. For a yoga teacher to speak in class about these issues is a delicate thing. I think that a teacher can potentially speak to these issues, carefully and skillfully, while underscoring the importance of developing a non-prejudiced, open-minded attitude toward all beings.

This debate seems not particularly due to the right or wrong of this issue (which infact would be futile as individual ethics are so varied and complex), but simply surrounds the right to choose. Everything I thought I believed around the abortion issue went out the window when recently I too fell pregnant and found myself in a position of considering whether to go through with this unplanned pregnancy. I was caught in a limbo of ethical turmoil and less than ideal social circumstances, let alone the early indications of health complications in the fetus, until I miscarried and my choice was taken away in an instant. Then all I wanted was to have my baby back. I realised that regardless of one's morals or the circumstance surrounding any decision, when our choice becomes void, we are instantly disempowered, which for many women sparks a plethora of painful reactions associated with our collective history as a sex oppressed. Thank you Tias for displaying here a rare understanding of women and their right to equality and self-sovereignty.
Just posted to "Popular Lately" on the Elephant Yoga homepage.
he is correct i think in so many ways – not sure about using yoga to proselytize. i think anyway most people who practice yoga are likely to be liberal/pro-choice anyway, so this comes a cross a little like an odd moment of preaching to the choir.
my sense is that a committed teacher can be frank and open about saying at the end of a class "on a personal note i want to mention that this issue is on the ballot and IF you want to preserve a woman's right to choose, we need to get out the vote this month" or something similar.
personally i feel that if you have these kinds of convictions it can be an authentic way both of expressing yourself in your community and of creating a community that self selects for shared values. so i would be less concerned with alienating and more with being graceful about the fact of what people are there for and that this is a moment of personal expression in the midst of an experience the students are paying for that has more to do with instruction in the practice…
chelsea you also indirectly make a good point: i think we should be honest with ourselves about the ways in which our liberal, multicultural, contemporary american yogic zeitgeist actually has quite little in common with outdated yogic ideas tat have more in common with conservative christianity! if we seek to bow down to the letter of the classical yogic law without critical thinking we would technically find ourselves much more religious, moralistic, dualistic and conservative than most of us actually are…
"if we seek to bow down to the letter of the classical yogic law without critical thinking we would technically find ourselves much more religious, moralistic, dualistic and conservative than most of us actually are…"
Touche, sir. I agree completely.
I also think you make a good point about how expressing political opinions in yoga classes can be done in a respectful, intelligent way… but in all honesty I'm not sure I know too many yoga teachers who would be likely to do so. Most of the time when I hear yoga teachers speak about politics they do so in an incredibly evangelical and narrow-minded way. Political lectures are certainly not what I come to my yoga classes for, but I am also aware of the fact that I have every capability of turning around and walking out if I so desire.
i am with you – again i think his heart is in the right place, but the focus on getting yoga teachers involved in getting out the vote is probably preaching to the converted and a bit weird. so not sure it is a particularly meaningful/potent method of trying to effect change.
yea there's this interesting line between authentic sincerity and using the platform in a way that tries people's patience. personally i wouldn't worry too much about alienating the massively liberal audience, more about a sense of the non sequitur!
[…] In this interview, Michael Stone and Pat Smith discuss the precept of non-harming as it applies to the issue of abortion. […]
I think that you have misrepresented yoga teaching on suffering. Yoga aims to remove the kleshas, the causes of pain. Trying to avoid things in life we find unpleasant binds us to the kleshas. It is our dislike of pain that is to be reduced and removed, not the suffering associated with that pain. Trying to reduce suffering, rather than removing our dislike of that suffering, is a great hindrance to yoga. A correct yoga approach to an unplanned pregnancy would be acceptance of the situation and the removal of any dislike assocaitted with the situation, rather than the removal of the situation itself.
Additionally, from a Yoga perspective, abortion has to be addressed from the principal of doing no harm to another. Once an entity is embedded at union it is unconscionable to destroy that entity. To do so would be acting in avidya and inhibiting union with ones essential nature.
This pretty much sums up how spiritually lost humanity has become. Namaste, the light in me bows to the light to you, now gets redefined by pseudo yogis. Now it is Namaste, but the light in me need not bow to the light of the other one in my sacred womb because I am more important. Power to the ego. Thank god for the gurus.

Woody Woodburn: Make it four hugs a day, minimum
"We will all go home tonight and give our kids a hug," was a frequent expression from TV news anchors to politicians, parents all, in the first hours following the unspeakable calamity in Newtown, Conn., eight days ago.
It was a heartfelt sentiment to be certain. Still, in a way, it added an extra layer to the overwhelming grief and shock. How sad that once again it takes a senseless shooting — I was going to say senseless tragedy, but far too often the tragedy is a shooting — to put life into a more focused perspective and remind parents to hug their children.
We should never forget to hug our kids.
Two nights after this most recent, and most horrific, shooting — the youth and innocence of 20 of the 27 victims arguably makes it the most horrific to date — my two grown children were home for the holidays. As is our family tradition they wanted to watch home videos of when they were very young.
It just so happens that the cassette my daughter selected was from when her brother was 4 and she was 6. Through the miracle of a VCR time machine she was exactly like one of the 20 first-graders in Connecticut; Ventura's Poinsettia Elementary could be Sandy Hook Elementary.
Even more so than other American mass shootings, this one has grabbed the heartstrings with clenched fists and refuses to let go. For a human monster to rapidly gun down 20 young children (not to mention seven adults, including the madman's own mother) as though they were merely the pixilated images of a violent video game is unfathomable and makes one's soul weep.
Escaping the newscasts macabre, we hit the "play" button and smiled watching an Easter egg hunt and laughed at my daughter and son's silliness at their birthday parties. Then came tears over words better said — sang, actually — by a child than by any adult TV anchor or politician.
My daughter appears on screen, blue-eyed and blond and cute and smiling. In other words she looks just like Emilie Parker, the 6-year-old Sandy Hook victim who, as her father tearfully shared with the world, could light up a room, loved to do art and had a remarkable compassionate streak — three traits that similarly make me think of my daughter.
The song my daughter is singing to the video camera is one she had learned the previous year in kindergarten: "Four hugs a day, that's the minimum. Four hugs a day, NOT the maximum ... "
The words have remained stuck in my head this past week, though in truth they have been lodged there for the two decades since my daughter first sang them.
While I am surely not worthy of the "World's No. 1 Dad" coffee mug I received one distant Father's Day, trying to be the best dad I can has been my top priority ever since I became one.
In this Sisyphean pursuit I have been a free hugger. Four hugs a day? I dare say I routinely dispensed that minimum quota to both kids before they left for school each morning. Even today, now ages 22 and 25, they cannot avoid my frequent embrace.
Every now and then a young dad or mom will ask me for my single wisest piece of parenting advice. My answer: Hug your kids.
Hug them often. Hug them good morning and good night, hello and goodbye, and in between.
Hug them as thanks for a chore well done, as congratulations for a test or art project well done, and when something done did not go well.
Hug them when they are crying and when they are smiling; when they are toddlers and when they are teens.
Hug them today and tomorrow and every day. Don't allow the hugs to fade until you are reminded by a tragedy to go home and hug your kid tonight.
As the child's song says, "Four hugs a day, that's the minimum. Four hugs a day, NOT the maximum."
This week, in a nod to perspective and remembrance, give 20 hugs a day.

Fire contained before spreading inside Dollar General
ANDERSON - A small fire reached the roof of Dollar General in Anderson on Tuesday night, but firefighters were able to stop flames from spreading inside the store.
The fire began on loading docks behind the building, in the Market Place shopping center. It spread up the back of the building to the roof, said Battalion Chief Brian Black of the Anderson City Fire Department. The store was closed when the fire started.
Firefighters received a call about 9:45 p.m. that said flames were at the back of the building.
They contained the fire quickly, Black said, and used a saw to cut into the roof to check for smoldering flames.
"There's very minimal damage done to the interior of the building," Black said.
The cause of the fire was not known. Black said an investigation would begin later Tuesday night.
Part of the Market Place shopping center is in the city and part is in the county, so trucks from both departments responded to the call. Centerville Ladder 28 assisted the city, Black said.

WASHINGTON (MarketWatch) — It's only a slight exaggeration to say that financial markets just want the so-called "dot plot" from the Federal Reserve policy meeting next week and will tune everything else out.
The dots matter most to investors because they show the best guesses of Fed officials as to the timing, pace and extent of Fed tightening over the next two years, economists said.
Now that the Fed exit has begun, these issues are foremost in the minds of Wall Street.
The Fed releases the dots quarterly, along with updated economic forecasts. The new table will come next Wednesday just prior to Fed Chairwoman Janet Yellen's second press conference.
Thomas Simons, money market economist at Jefferies, thinks the dot plot in June will imply that the expected liftoff for short-term interest rates "is somewhat further off in the future than it is now."
He said that three Fed officials —Atlanta Fed President Dennis Lockhart, Minneapolis Fed President Narayana Kocherlakota, and San Francisco Fed President John Williams — might lower their fed fund rate projections for 2015.
At the same time, two Fed officials — Philadelphia Fed President Charles Plosser and St. Louis Fed President James Bullard — might increase their forecast for the 2015 funds rate.
In March, the dots generated a significant market reaction. They were seen as hawkish because they showed a bit more aggressive stance from Fed officials compared with December. This contradicted the Fed's message that there had been no change in the policy outlook.
Asked about the discrepancy at her first press conference, Fed Chairwoman Janet Yellen tried to down-play the chart, saying "dots don't matter much."
"I think that one should not look to the dot plot, so to speak, as the primary way in which the committee wants to or is speaking about policy to the public at large," Yellen went on. "The FOMC statement is the device that the committee as a policy-making group uses to express its opinions," she added.
Mike Moran, chief economist at Daiwa Capital Markets, said Yellen's protest about the dot plot was "180 degrees from accurate."
"Changes in the plot from meeting to meeting show how the views of the Fed are evolving," he said.
In contrast, the Fed's policy statement is now deliberately "just vague" about the factors that will prompt the first rate hike, so as to gain support from various factions of Fed officials, he said.
The statement says the Fed "will assess progress--both realized and expected--toward its objectives of maximum employment and 2% inflation." This assessment will take into account a wide range of information, including measures of labor market conditions, indicators of inflation pressures and inflation expectations, and readings on financial developments.
Another nugget of information often overlooked from the dot plot, Moran said, is the "dispersion" of the forecasts. A wide dispersion means that there are sharply different views among Fed officials and therefore little chance of a change in interest rates, he said. Once the dispersion starts to narrow, agreement on a rate hike is nearer.

Best. Intro to Gandhi. Ever? {MC Yogi}
"Equal parts Indian raga and old school hip-hop, "Be The Change" is a labor of love spanning four years of creative collaboration between rapper MC Yogi, musical co-producers Robin Livingston and Niraj Chag and animator Michael Rosen of Samplistic Media.
The first incarnation of "Be The Change" was released in anticipation of the 2008 presidential election.
Four years later, the song and official video celebrate another crossroads for conscious leadership and peaceful action."
"We wanted to make a rich, cinematic pop-up book," said MC Yogi. "Our vision is to make it easy for people to connect with Gandhi's teachings and show how leaders from the Dalai Lama to Bob Marley have continued his path. We all have the opportunity to become peaceful warriors…"
MC Yogi's intention is to share Gandhi's vision for all people to be the change that they wish to see in the world. The result is as infectious as it is educational.
So please, share this with the people. Yes, I suggest especially the youth should see, enjoy and know.
Endless love for White Swan Records/Black Swan Sounds because we all know why.
Plus, please be aware of GandhiServe.org.
Also, FYI:
MC Yogi's latest album Pilgrimage debuted at number one on iTunes World Music charts on June 19th, 2012 and has since remained a top five download.
MC Yogi also shares the lessons of yoga through beats,rhymes and life as an ambassador to First Lady Michelle Obama's Let's Move Initiative and an ambassador to the non-partisan political action initiative YogaVotes.
Here, see Seane Corne of YogaVotes in action: youtube.com/watch?v=tZirOfxDYvs
As hip-hop pioneer Russell Simmons says, "The world needs more artists like MC Yogi."
The track is available for purchase in iTunes.
The video also comes in observance of the United Nations' International Day of Non-Violence [Oct. 2], honoring how political and social change can come through tolerance and understanding.

Spanish Dim Sum Dinner
A wonderful dinner was had last night in Belltown, in Seattle at Txori (pronounced CHO-ree) of an array of adventurous and delicious tapas. To assemble the perfect meal, we ordered sporadically while we ate totalling about 6 or 7 little plates along with some signature drinks, red wine spiked with coca-cola/orange soda. The black blob on toast was the stuffed squid-ink-fried bread, looks weird when it arrived but ultimately proved to be very tasty.
The Battroid Valkyrie Macross, found at last! This is the EXACT SAME robot I owned as a kid. It was my favourite toy. Now it's in a museum?!! Kicking self for giving it away! It transforms into a Veritech fighter jet (Variable Engineering and Robotic Integration TECHnology), the GERWALK Mode (Ground Effective Reinforcement of Winged Armament with Locomotive Knee-joint), and in the Battroid mode pictured here. I want mine back!!! If you see it, you can tell it was mine because it has obvious scratch marks from hours of play and the right pop out wheel for the fighter jet is broken.
the 10 second timer
I use it a lot. I prop my little camera on things, this time, a plastic construction site barrier, hoping that it doesn't fall. The I run like mad, this time, all the way across W 1St Ave, to my spot, then wait for the shutter to go off. I love the colours of the rust and peeling paint in this one.

I have a glass and nickel (i think it's nickel) inkwell on my desk which I use fairly regularly.
Photos to come.
As far as I know, there is no inkwell thread on this forum, and since inkwells were an integral part of most peoples' lives during the Golden Era, let's start one.
20th century, institutional (common/public use) inkwells were produced by many different companies, some of the more famous being Esterbrook, Morriset, Sengbusch, Fount-O-Ink, and Carter's. Materials used included metal, bakelite, plastic, ceramic, and glass, and they came in just about every price range. They were found in classrooms, home desks, banks, offices, post offices (officially until 1957), on ships, on military field desks, and almost everywhere else. Some had to have the ink poured into them, whereas some used bottles of ink screwed into the base. What gives an inkwell a foot up on a fountain pen is the ink supply; depending on one's writing habits, an inkwell could go far longer without re-filling than a fountain pen (the latter's advantage being its portability.) As far as I know, the last American inkwells were produced in the early-1960s, although their termination date might have been later in other countries. (As late as the end of the 1970s, at least here in the L.A. area, you could still find NOS inkwells languishing in stationery stores.)
So, what inkwells do you have do show off? I'll begin with one that I currently have on top of my classroom desk:
This is a Fount-O-Ink inkwell, produced around 1940 (it has a South African patent date of 1939), in the city of Los Angeles. The company existed from at least the late-1930s until at least the mid-1950s (I found a mid-'50s, high-end NOS model in a stationery shop in the late '70s). As can be seen, the bottle was screwed into the base, so one had to either buy a new bottle of the company's ink, or use a small funnel to pour the new ink into the used bottle. The base is heavy ceramic, whereas the bottle cover appears to be celluloid in nature. Utilitarian, but still nice-looking.

2. Dress to please yourself, but do take others into some consideration.
I have a glass and nickel (i think it's nickel) inkwell on my desk which I use fairly regularly.
Photos to come.
Dueling Morrisets.
Bert M. Morris Co. of Los Angeles produced literally thousands of these Model Bs from around 1940 until about the early 1950s. With the Model B you had to use the company's ink bottle inside the well, but the inkwell came with a small funnel which could be used to pour any brand ink. (My first inkwell was a red Morriset, which I still have.) In addition, the nibs were replaceable, a feature shared with Esterbrook pens holders. Model Bs often appear in vintage movies.

2. Dress to please yourself, but do take others into some consideration.
Well, here is one of the inkwells I have:
^^Very nice pressed glass example. Does it have any markings at all, and do you have any idea as to its age?
1. John 3:16, 17
2. Dress to please yourself, but do take others into some consideration.
Yes, that's because I use this on a pretty regular basis. So I keep it topped with ink every now and then.
OK, I'll join in, these were all once owned by my father in laws father.
This has an onyx base. It's very heavy.
Unfortunately the base on the glass desk set broke some time ago & the clock hasn't worked for years. The inscription reads, "To Capt C P Leeds from the staff of The Mayfair Theatre, Xmas 1933".

Those are beautiful, Lolly. There are two Mayfair Theatres. One is the Mayfair Theatre in Dunedin, New Zealand, opened in 1914, and the other is the Mayfair Theatre in Ottawa, Canada, opened in 1932. They were both opened in December. New Zealand one, 8th December, 1914, Canada one, 5th December, 1932.
Given that you live in Australia, I'd speculate that the Mayfair Theatre in your inkstand is the New Zealand one. Here's a photo:

Christos managed movie theatres in Sydney & western NSW for 40 years. He never went to NZ. He was the Manager of the Mayfair (73 Castlereigh St Sydney) from 1932. (great photo though, thanks).
EDIT - He's a link to a newspaper article showing the days movies listings in Sydney 1933 - The Mayfair is there (though I'd rather go see Gold Diggers of 1933 at The State Theatre!).
Sorry to get so off topic.

OK, we've talked about when life pops up and smacks us. We see a car smash, a dog in the rain, experience pleasure or pain, but what do we do when we feel we are in a desert, nothing is coming our way?
Read. I have hundreds of books with scribbles in them. Reading a book or a story or a poem often sparks an idea, a connection. The richer the book, the more barbs.
Listen to the news. Not just the main news, but the BBC World Service, or CNN if you're a Brit or news in other languages if you can understand them. Read newspapers, but read the smaller stories, the odd, the quirky. Read like a writer. Imagine combinations of stories. You read about a bloody murder, you read about genetic modification, but what if these were combined?
Browse junk shops for old books, scrapbooks, photographs. You can do this and look for curiosities that amuse you, but also search for those things that hit you and connect more deeply. Look at junk as a writer. Why do people throw away family photographs? What does that say about their attitude to their heritage? Who ARE these people in funny clothes? How would you like your photographs thrown away?
Read books of photographs and live in them.
And when you are really struggling (remember to be a writer you should write every day) start to employ tactics to beat the blues, unlock the doors, dodge the mental guards.
Smell things, look at food, stand still and people-watch. Be a spy and follow someone, get on the wrong bus and go the wrong place. Turn round in a line of people and face the wrong way. Stop skimming, start seeing.
Try the Internet. Pull up Google and type in a number and press search. I typed in 456 and discovered Aeschylus the Greek father of the tragedy. It gave me both a wonderful story and the most bizarre death ever!
Type combinations of words, random, silly: 'chocolate wire' resulted in 510,000 hits including a management company and "our keepsake gold crazy wire heart has a hinged lid that can be used to store those precious items and comes with an assortment of five of our chocolate dipped strawberries." A story? No, but I bet I could get a great one if I followed a few links. Learn to open your heart, mind, soul, every site is a connection, two sites may be a unique combination and a stunning new idea.
Ideas are one thing. Stories are another. What connects an idea to a story and what makes the story ultimately satisfying? My answer is usually "theme" or "premise" the story's "why", its point, its message. But hopefully from all that's gone before you should have TWO why's, why is the author writing this, and what is he trying to say? Not always the same thing.
Sometimes we have an instinct, an intuition, the nagging feeling. I can now encourage mine to form openings. What if you can't?
Recently while I was teaching, we took a break, sat outside in an English Country Garden drinking cold white wine and talking about writing. One of my students "had an idea". His idea was that a woman beekeeper was giving men a very hard time. My student was fascinated by some of the sexual facts about Queen Bees, and drones etc.
DIM (Does it Matter?).
I actually said SFW, So F——g What?
This is a cruel but ultimately useful test of an idea. Ideas, when articulated, are rarely THE idea, they are either stage seven of a story or merely part of an idea, a symptom rather than cause.
In this case the poor student was asked, time and again DIM or SFW.
Why was the woman a bee-keeper, why not a seamstress? Why in a village? By challenging every thought, pushing, pushing, pushing, we first got, "Well she hates men, so she abuses them". But why did she hate men? "Because she was abused in her teens?" Why? By whom? And what has this to do with bees? "Because she was fascinated by bees and was seduced by an old bee-keeper."
Now an idea was taking shape. A young girl fascinated by bees is abused, grows up to be beautiful, a beekeeper herself and she abuses men as a kind of revenge. Suddenly all the beekeeping facts buzzed (sorry!!) as metaphors, great scenes arising like the idea that she can allow hundreds of male bees to swarm on her because she knows how to stop them hurting her. She exploits them for honey etc.
Now in this specific exercise we clinically examined the ideas, pushed until we reached a fundamental point then allowed the story and its attendant metaphors to blossom. Here we appear to be mechanical, whereas earlier we appeared to be doing something far more uncontrolled, even spiritual.
This is true, but becoming a writer is about being mechanical and factual between stories and assimilating craft, techniques, strategies then, but when we actually come to writing the stories we need to be as loose and fluid as we can, to be "drunk" and write drunk.
Mechanically we can often analyse half-ideas and seek their origin. Once the core is found we develop the reason. You and I may have the same start-points but produce different stories with very different messages.
"Spiritually" inspired by the little brown dog, we can coax ideas to the surface, bring out a voice. If the voice and tone comes perfectly-formed the story's theme will be embedded in the opening. If not, perhaps we need a little of the beekeeper process.
The art comes when we can make connections and "fly them" without ever imposing, without becoming left-brained, critical, or analytical. So, for example, in the beekeeper story I would have advised only: "Imagine you are the young lady, the aspiring beekeeper. You were abused. Now you are a woman, great looking. You keep bees. Be yourself, act yourself. What do you do? The point is that the main drive has been established, namely that she is paying "men" back for her abuse. Much of the story will write itself.
When moving from beginner to better writer, many things which will eventually be right-brained, seemingly casual, "drunk" or serendipitous, will in fact be "worked at". Slowly but surely the writer learns to be more unfettered, to access the less logical. It takes trust, the ability to let go off the poolside and swim in deeper waters.
Now, when I write I rarely articulate my story's theme. I simply "know" the whole story, opening, plot, point, even the sense of the language, the tone, the point of view, a general feel-sense of the ending. It's all there, and I could lie to you and introduce my muse.
But really I write because in there, all the secret stuff, it's very messy. It erupts often. There are pressures to be relieved. Sometimes it's because a woman in a shop shouts, "Has anyone seen my seventy-two Wild Swans?" or maybe it's a little brown dog, a little brown dog in the rain.

I seem to be eating less than my RMR and then work out on top of that. This is just what I eat in a typical day. I seem to be around 500 short each day of my RMR which is around 1580. I just don't know what to do. My goal is to lose weight and I'm allowed over 1600 calories/day. How much should I be eating to lose weight while working out and burning 300-400 calories/day. I try to workout at least 5 days per week. I've been working out since beginning of Jan on a regular basis and have struggled to lose around 3 pounds. I used to be able to eat better and/or workout and lose about 2/week in the beginning. I'm scared to eat more if I don't NEED to b/c I eat healthy. If I need to add are there any suggestions in what I can add to get 500-600 more calories that is healthy? Thanks!

What you describe is fairly typical of someone who is starting out on a weight loss program and believing that since too much food was likely a culprit in gaining weight less and less food is better when trying to lose weight. Well, to a degree that is right, but the RMR is there for a reason.
You need to eat more. Right now your body is in a starvation mode and is likely to be using protein sources (muscle) to fuel your activities. It doesn't matter if your food choices are helthy or not, if you're not eating enough of them you are burning the wrong type of body tissue. By following the directions under the nutrition section you should be able to see what foods you could add to gain the missing calories.
You ask what foods to add, the answer is very personalized and actually needs to be asked to a nutritionist. But in a very generalized sense the foods should be ones you like and can sustain. Do not treat this as a temporary diet, this is a lifestyle change.
4 years ago
You need to always stay above your RMR. If you don't, then your body will hold onto everything it has, and you will not lose weight. On the days that you exercise, you will need to consume more calories so that way you are giving your body the fuel it needs for the workouts. Try to add some healthy snacks in during the day. Almonds are a good way to get a few extra calories, or a little peanut butter on an apple or banana.

By Jon Fisher, The Nature Conservancy
How is it possible that a vegan, car-free, green living fanatic (that's me) has a bigger carbon footprint than the average American? It's pretty simple: for people who travel a lot—whether for work, pleasure or both—flying can outweigh everything else we do to live green.
Like many eco-minded people, sometimes I'm a bit self-righteous about green living and I get frustrated when friends and family seem to not "get it." But recently I've been trying to objectively look at my overall environmental impact, and I've realized that some of the things I obsess over make less of a difference than the things I have given myself a "free pass" to do in the past—especially travel.
For example, a few years ago I attended a conference in Borneo (Indonesia) for work, learning about The Nature Conservancy's projects there and conducting a few days of technical training for local staff. When I calculated the emissions for the flights for that trip, it had a total carbon footprint of 11.7 metric tons of CO2 equivalent(1), more than the total household energy use (electricity, gas, etc.) of the average American family for a whole year!(2) While I am hopeful that the purpose of the trip was worth the emissions, it's still a pretty scary number.
Which led me to a disturbing realization: all of my efforts to shrink my carbon footprint—from eating vegan/organic/local foods to installing energy-efficient appliances in my home and commuting by bike—are quickly "wasted" if I fly often. Simply staying close to home can have a bigger impact than all those activities, at least in terms of carbon footprint.
Let's take a look at this chart(3) comparing the carbon emissions of flight travel to various "green" activities to illustrate my point:

Brain Background to Body Mass
Brain genes associated with increased body mass
NEGR1 (top panel) is tagged by SNPs in this study: the most significant of these is rs2815752 (bottom panel, arrowed), which lies some 75,000 bp away from the gene. However, rs2815752 also tags a copy-number variant (a 45,000 bp deletion: indicated by pink panel) that includes conserved sequences that could be involved in regulation of NEGR1.
A genetic study of more than 90,000 people has identified six new genetic variants that are associated with increased Body Mass Index (BMI), the most commonly used measure of obesity. Five of the genes are known to be active in the brain, suggesting that many genetic variants implicated in obesity might affect behaviour, rather than the chemical processes of energy or fat metabolism.
Obesity is an increasing problem that results in individual risk to health as well as increasing burdens on health care systems. By identifying genetic variants that affect obesity, researchers hope to understand better the mechanisms regulating energy balance, which will guide the development of new therapies and help to develop improved diagnosis.
The study is published in Nature Genetics by the GIANT Consortium and includes authors from more than 60 institutions.
"It might seem remarkable that it is the brain that is most commonly influenced by genetic variation in obesity, rather than fat tissue or digestive processes," says Dr Inês Barroso, a senior author on the study, from the Wellcome Trust Sanger Institute. "Until 2007, no genetic associations had been found for 'common obesity', but today almost all those we have uncovered are likely to influence brain function."
Increase in weight occurs when calories taken in exceed calories burned, but behind that simple equation lie behavioural processes such as appetite and satiety, as well as the biochemical mechanisms our bodies use to process foods and use stores of energy, such as fat tissue. A part of the brain called the hypothalamus controls many of our basic functions such as body temperature, hunger and fluid balance: it is programmed to maintain the status quo.
" Until 2007, no genetic associations had been found for 'common obesity', but today almost all those we have uncovered are likely to influence brain function "
Dr Inês Barroso
"Very occasionally, mutations in genes active in the hypothalamus have dramatic consequences for weight gain," explains Dr Ruth Loos, a leading author from the Medical Research Council Epidemiology Unit, "such that people carrying these mutations are severely obese. Such mutations might be considered exceptional."
"However, we suggest that the picture for common obesity is very similar: many or most genes associated with increased BMI are active in the brain."
Studies in twins suggest that genetics can account for 40-70% of the variation in BMI. Yet only one of the genes that were previously discovered had been thought to be linked to increased BMI or obesity in humans. The six new candidate genes provide a rich pool of resources to understand some of the processes in the brain that drive increased BMI and common obesity.
They also highlight the role of different types of mutation: intriguingly, one of the variants does not seem to mark a single-base change in the human genome, but rather the loss of a region of DNA of around 45,000 bases. The authors suggest that this lack of genome sequence near a gene called NEGR1might knock out genomic sequences that regulate activity of NEGR1. Such a variant has not been previously detected in studies of common obesity.
"It may seem surprising that we know so little about the biology of such an important medical and social issue," says Mark McCarthy, Robert Turner Professor of Diabetes at the University of Oxford, a senior author on the paper. "We can use genetics to open the door on some of the processes that contribute to individual differences in the predisposition to obesity. We are finding that common diseases have complex causes, and it is only by understanding the biology that we can start to make rational attempts to treat and prevent conditions such as this."
"Studies such as this are uncovering more and more genetic changes that are involved in more and more diseases. This is a remarkable time for human genetics."
The authors point out that perhaps dozens of similar variants remain to be discovered. The effects of the variants identified in the new study are modest: someone who carries all the risk variants would typically be 1.5-2 kg heavier than an average person. The findings of this study will pave the way for future investigations to uncover more of the elusive variants, perhaps through sequencing of whole genomes, which has become more efficient and cost-effective in the past year or so.
The research also helps to set the stage to unravel the two influences of genetics and environment. Future research could harness the power of longitudinal cohort studies, which track the health of many subjects through time, thereby providing the tools to map gene-environment interactions.
"As we uncover more variants, we will gain a better basic understanding of obesity, which in turn will open doors to previously unimagined areas of clinically relevant research," explains Joel Hirschhorn, Associate Professor of Genetics at Children's Hospital/Harvard Medical School and at the Broad Institute. "We hope that these advances will guide the development of more effective treatments and interventions."

Oxford University's Medical Sciences Division is one of the largest biomedical research centres in Europe. It represents almost one-third of Oxford University's income and expenditure, and two-thirds of its external research income. Oxford's world-renowned global health programme is a leader in the fight against infectious diseases (such as malaria, HIV/AIDS, tuberculosis and avian flu) and other prevalent diseases (such as cancer, stroke, heart disease and diabetes). Key to its success is a long-standing network of dedicated Wellcome Trust-funded research units in Asia (Thailand, Laos and Vietnam) and Kenya, and work at the MRC Unit in The Gambia. Long-term studies of patients around the world are supported by basic science at Oxford and have led to many exciting developments, including potential vaccines for tuberculosis, malaria and HIV, which are in clinical trials.
Medical Research Council
The Medical Research Council supports the best scientific research to improve human health. Its work ranges from molecular level science to public health medicine and has led to pioneering discoveries in our understanding of the human body and the diseases which affect us all.
MRC Epidemiology Unit
The goal of the MRC Epidemiology Unit is to study the genetic, development and environmental determinants of obesity, diabetes and related metabolic disorders and to contribute to the scientific basis of prevention.

The Wellcome Trust Sanger Institute
The Wellcome Trust Sanger Institute, which receives the majority of its funding from the Wellcome Trust, was founded in 1992. The Institute is responsible for the completion of the sequence of approximately one-third of the human genome as well as genomes of model organisms and more than 90 pathogen genomes. In October 2006, new funding was awarded by the Wellcome Trust to exploit the wealth of genome data now available to answer important questions about health and disease.
The Wellcome Trust
The Wellcome Trust is a global charitable foundation dedicated to achieving extraordinary improvements in human and animal health. We support the brightest minds in biomedical research and the medical humanities. Our breadth of support includes public engagement, education and the application of research to improve health.

|Accession Numbers: EG11423 (EcoCyc), b3623, ECK3613
Synonyms: rfaK
The lipopolysaccharide of E. coli K-12 consists of two major components: the hydrophobic lipid A moiety inserted into the outer membrane and the phosphorylated core oligosaccharide [Raetz02]. E. coli K-12 does not produce O antigen to attach to the LPS core due to a defect in the rfb gene cluster which can be complemented with genes from a second, independent rfb mutant to produce an O16 type O antigen [Stevenson94]. E. coli K-12 may have two major pathways for LPS biosynthesis. One generates LPS cores suitable for O antigen attachment, and a second generates lipooligosaccharides (LOS) with modifications to the core structure which prevent O antigen attachment [Klena92].
WaaU is responsible for the attachment of HepIV to the GlcIII residue of the outer core [Heinrichs98]. A waaU mutant is unable to add O antigen when a rfb cluster is supplied on a plasmid [Klena92].
It is also suggested that WaaU may attach GlcNAc to an inner core heptose since a waaU mutant becomes sensitive to phage Br2 [Klena92].
The chromosomal waa region (formerly rfa) contains the major core-oligosaccharide assembly operons in E. coli [Raetz02][Raetz07]. The current nomenclature system was proposed originally in [Reeves96] and [Heinrichs98] and followed thereafter.

Failed to make Backup Exec 2012 Custom SDR DVD
I failed to make Custom SDR DVD of Windows 2003 std Server. Backup Exec is installed locally to this computer. This is actually second time when I tried to make SDR DVD and had same problem. On "Creating the custom simplified disaster recovery disk image" part computer totally froze when it reached "Creating registry hives.." point?!
Any thoughts what can cause this problem?

I checked that file. I found following "sas" drivers from the list:
Driver SysFile="lsi_sas.sys" Provider="LSI" Version="1.28.03.52"
Driver SysFile="lsi_sas2.sys" Provider="LSI" Version="2.00.02.71"
Driver SysFile="megasas.sys" Provider="LSI" Version="188.8.131.52"
Driver SysFile="arcsas.sys" Provider="Adaptec" Version="22.214.171.12419"
I think it should work ok with HP SAS Tape Adapter card (LSI Adapter, SAS 3000 series). On the backup server Windows "driver file details" says C:\windows\system32\drivers\lsi_sas.sys.
I checked one of the Dell Servers with DELL 6GBPS SAS INTERNAL TAPE ADAPTER. It's also uses LSI driver (lsi_sas2.sys).
I think LSI quite generic chipset on tape adapter cards?

Senate sets Christmas eve vote on U.S. debt limit
Posted By admin On December 23, 2009 @ 11:27 am In Old Infowars Posts Style,Washington Politics | Comments Disabled
December 23, 2009
[efoods]The U.S. Senate on Tuesday set a Christmas Eve vote on final congressional approval of a bill to provide a two-month increase in the federal debt limit.
The measure, passed last week by the House of Representatives, would increase the debt limit, now at $12.1 trillion, by $290 billion.
Senate Democrats may approve the measure largely by themselves because most, if not all, Republicans are expected to vote against it, Republican aides said. Democrats control the Senate, 60-40.
Republicans have objected to raising the debt limit, accusing Democrats of reckless spending. Democrats counter by noting that the debt exploded during the administration of Republican President George W. Bush, which ended in January.

Our Heavy Sandblasted Beam brings a wonderful amount of eye-catching detail and beauty to any home. As an exterior or interior element, the beauty of this beam is certain to make people take notice. With beautifully pronounced grain pattern, deep grooves, prominent knots and more, the look and texture of heavy sandblasted beams will enhance any design.
Made from durable polyurethane, faux wood beams are realistic and strong without sacrificing quality. Molded from a real beam, the deep grooves, grain pattern and knots are all perfectly replicated giving it a highly realistic look while remaining lightweight. Unlike the real thing, this simulated wood beam will withstand warping, cracking, checking and pests while looking like new for years to come. Since they're also weatherproof, that means you can easily use them outdoors as an exterior accent as well.
When looking to create an incredible truss design, you need look no further than our custom beams. With over a thousand different size combinations, we're able to give you a beam to perfectly suit your needs. You also have the option of both a 3-sided or 4-sided beam and the ability to have them closed off with end caps. No matter the project or design, we're certain that our simulated wood beams will work for you.
Note: The Heavy Sandblasted foam wood beams may have screws embedded below the surface. We recommend using a hand saw (not power tools) when cutting these beams. You may find these screws with a stud finder. Barron Designs is not responsible for any bodily harm or damage to your equipment. Click Here to view instruction on finding screws in beams.

Canyon Ranch Cocoa Chimichanga
- Olive- or vegetable-oil cooking spray
- 4 medium bananas, sliced
- 1 1/2 tbsp fat-free chocolate sauce
- 2 tsp cinnamon
- 1 tbsp sugar
- 6 phyllo sheets, defrosted
Preheat oven to 350°F. Lightly coat a baking sheet with cooking spray. In a medium bowl, combine bananas, chocolate sauce, and 1 tsp cinnamon. Set aside. In a small bowl, combine 1 tsp cinnamon and sugar. Set aside. Lay out 1 sheet phyllo onto a flat surface. Spray lightly with cooking spray and fold in half lengthwise. Turn sheet so one of the narrower ends is facing you. Place 1/6 mixture about 1 inch from the bottom and about 1 inch from each side. Roll one quarter of the length of the phyllo, then fold in sides and continue rolling the length of the phyllo (as you would a burrito or wrap). Repeat with remaining phyllo sheets and place on baking sheet with open flap down. Lightly spray the exterior of chimichangas with cooking spray and dust with cinnamon-sugar mixture. Place in oven immediately and bake 10 to 15 minutes or until golden brown.

2004 – 2005 changes in State unemployment rates
March 07, 2006
Annual average unemployment rates decreased from 2004 to 2005 in 39 states and the District of Columbia, rose in 9 states, and were unchanged in 2 states.
The largest unemployment rate increases for 2005 were recorded by the two states most affected by Hurricane Katrina: Mississippi (+1.6 percentage points) and Louisiana (+1.4 points). The next largest rate increases were registered in Kentucky (+0.6 percentage point) and Georgia (+0.5 point).
