Here`s something to think about: How come you never see a headline like `Psychic Wins Lottery`?
Now there are more overweight people in America than average-weight people. So overweight people are now average. Which means you`ve met your New Year`s resolution.

Seems there`s a big debate going on about whether a new TV commercial for Minute Maid orange juice portrays Popeye and Bluto as gay lovers or just good friends. The commercial shows Popeye and Bluto at the beach and riding a bicycle for two. I don`t think that makes them gay. I think the fact they both find Olive Oyl attractive, that makes them gay.

In France, they`re having trouble translating a lot of Internet terms into French. In France the law is you have to use French words.

Quantitative Measurement of Nutritional Substrate Utilization in Patients With Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS)

- How to Read a Study Record
The work of Nau et. al (Nau KL, Bromberg MB, Forshew DA, Katcha Vl. Individuals with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis are in caloric balance despite losses in mass. J Neurol Sci 1995;129 :47-49) showed that patients in the early stages of ALS initially increase their body fat. Another study showed that advanced ALS patients on mechanical ventilation were actually hypometabolic, supporting a hypothesis that ALS patients' daily oral intakes of calories fail to match their energy requirements, thus exacerbating their condition. This current study investigates and compares substrate utilization using a metabolic cart in controls and in ALS patients who are on and off ventilatory support to examine differences in substrate utilization between the two groups of ALS patients and the controls. (Substrate utilization is essentially the percentage of fats, carbohydrates, and protein utilized by the body.) The study will increase our understanding of the nutritional needs of ALS patients and improve our ability to provide the best possible nutrition in progressive illness.

|Official Title:
|Quantitative Measurement of Nutritional Substrate Utilization in Patients With ALS
- Indirect Calorimetry [ Time Frame: 20 minute session ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]Indirect calorimetry will be used to determine how many calories you are burning and how much of your total calories burned are fats.
|Study Start Date:
|November 2006
|Estimated Study Completion Date:

|Estimated Primary Completion Date:
|September 2014 (Final data collection date for primary outcome measure)
Subjects having either definite or probable ALS by El Escorial Criteria.
Neurological Control
Subjects having been diagnosed with a non-ALS neurological condition
Healthy Control
Subjects in good health without any neurological conditions
Detailed Description:
Study groups will include ALS patients with and without respiratory failure as judged by their FVC and use of either noninvasive or invasive ventilation along with normal controls. For all patients, nutritional status will be assessed by measurement of weight, and determination of Urinary Urea Nitrogen (via 24hr urinary sample), albumin and pre-albumin levels and questions regarding recent weight changes. In addition, for ALS patients, clinical data regarding the age of the patient, duration of disease, site of onset along with ALS-FRS (Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis Functional Rating Scale) and Pulmonary function testing will be collected. If these data are already available from chart as they are commonly performed during routine care, the data will be obtained from the patients chart.
5cc blood will be obtained for measurement of Serum albumin, pre-albumin and TNF-α. Antigenic TNF-α, bioactive TNF-α and receptors serum sTNF-RI and TNF-RII will be measured using the standard ELISA kits and cytolytic assays.
Respiratory Quotients (RQs) will be measured using a metabolic cart in both controls and ALS patients. First, the patient's VCO2 and VO2 will be measured - as the patient breaths into a mask connected to the machine.- RQ will be calculated using Lavoisier and Laplace's equation: RQ = VCO2/VO2.
This, however, is not an accurate representation because it considers only fats and carbohydrates as the sources for these gases. A corrected Non-Protein RQ (NPRQ) RQ will be calculated using a 24 hour urine sample and measuring the Urinary Urea Nitrogen (24hr UUN). This tells us the amount of protein oxidized per 24 hours. Then, applying the principle that one gram of urinary nitrogen represents the combustion of an amount of protein that requires 5.925L of oxygen and produces 4.75L of carbon dioxide, the amount of oxygen and carbon dioxide associated with protein metabolism will be calculated. This calculated VO2 and VCO2 will then be subtracted from the totals measured using the metabolic cart and the corrected Non-Protein RQ will be calculated.
The corrected respiratory quotient will then be used to calculate the amount of nutritional substrate utilization in the patient population using Table 7.2. Non-Protein Respiratory Quotient And The Relative Quantity Of Carbohydrate And Fat Oxidized And Energy Per Liter Of Oxygen (Appendix-I).v The amount (grams) of carbohydrate and fats utilized per each NPRQ will be recorded.
The protein catabolic rate (PCR) will also be calculated using the equation :
PCR=[24hr UUN(g) + 4] x 6.25 (g/day). The clinical information along with test results will be collected in a spreadsheet in which patients and controls are de-identified. This spreadsheet will be used for the analysis.
Primary endpoints are the analysis of nutritional substrate utilization with and without respiratory compromise. Secondary endpoints include the correlation of in the composition of substrate utilization between patients who use a ventilator and those who do not, those patients with and without a PEG Tube in each group, and correlation of substrate use with the stage of illness as judged by the ALSFRS score, weight changes and duration of disease.
This is a one time testing procedure, and the patient will not be asked to return back for another visit.

CHARLESTON, S.C. (AP) — Venus Williams couldn't dig herself out of a hole this time and lost to Eugenie Bouchard 7-6 (6), 2-6, 6-4 at the Family Circle Cup on Thursday.
The 33-year-old Williams had fought back in each of her first two matches to advance. She seemed to follow the same game-plan in this one, rallying from a set down to win the second set and lead 2-1 in the third.
That's when the 20-year-old Canadian, took over, breaking Williams' serve twice down the stretch including the final game.
"She played a lot more consistently than I did," Williams said. "I think my errors really hurt me a lot today. Just a lot of up and down, a lot of errors."
Bouchard finished things off by reaching Williams' drop shot and pushing it into the open court for her first victory over the seven-time Grand Slam champion.
"I think I've shown to myself how mentally strong I can be," said Bouchard, seeded sixth at the Family Circle. "Today was really a mental battle. It was a bit ugly at times and tough on the court, but I fought through it."
Especially in two key stretches when it looked as if the 33-year-old Williams was ready to take control.
Bouchard was ahead 5-3 in the opening set when Williams rallied and held two set points in the tiebreaker. But Bouchard won the next four points, including a crisp backhand for a winner to secure the set.
When Williams moved on top in the third set, Bouchard did not panic but dug in to move on to her third quarterfinal round this year.
"I've just kind of raised my game a little bit and was extra solid on those important points," Bouchard said.
Bouchard will next face second-seed Jelena Jankovic, the 2007 Family Circle champion who at No. 8 in world is the highest-ranked player remaining in the tournament. Jankovic defeated Croatia's Ajla Tomljanovic 7-5, 6-1.
Jankovic has reached the Family Circle quarterfinals in six of the past seven seasons. She's been beaten by a Williams sister each of the last two years, falling to Venus in 2012 and to Serena in last year's championship finals.
Jankovic struggled early as the 20-year-old Tomljanovic fought off a set point to tie the opening set at 5-all. Jankovic then won eight of the next nine games to move forward.
"I missed that overhead on my set point, which was kind of frustrating, and we leveled it at 5 5," Jankovic said. "But I was able to stay calm and regroup and finish that set. So that was very important."
Venus Williams' loss ends a run of recent success for her family on theses courts. Sister Serena was the two-time defending tournament champion before losing Tuesday night. Venus played with the Washington Kastles on the green clay to win the 2012 World Team Tennis title.
Venus Williams had been bothered by an illness that she said limited her endurance this week. She had to come from behind in her first two matches here to face Bouchard and did not have enough stamina to wait out her opponent's solid, flat ground strokes.
"That kind of made it more challenging. I mean I think normally I would probably be able to challenge the points a little bit longer and just make her play more shots and just be more willing to play longer points," Williams said.
Williams was the 2004 Family Circle champion. She reached the semifinals here last year where she lost to sister Serena, the eventual champion.
Others advancing included third-seed Sara Errani, who outlasted Peng Shuai, 7-6 (6), 7-6 (5). Errani will play Swiss qualifier Belinda Bencic, who topped Elina Svitolina of the Ukraine, 6-7 (4), 6-4, 6-1.
Andrea Petkovic moved on by defeating her friend and German countrywoman Sabine Lisicki, the fourth seed, 6-1, 6-0. Petkovic will face either seventh-seeded Samantha Stosur or ninth-seeded Lucie Safarova on Friday.
Two women from Slovakia in 12th-seeded Daniela Hantuchova and Jana Cepelova will square off in the quarterfinals. Hantuchova defeated Teliana Pereira 6-2, 6-3 while Cepelova continued his surprising run with a 7-6 (4), 3-6, 6-3 victory over 13th-seeded Elena Vesnina.
Cepelova knocked off world No. 1 Serena Williams here Tuesday night.

Hearsay: So who lost a wakeboard in the lake?
Mr. B's got somebody's wakeboard. Mr. Bobby, who lives in a house across from Gum Branch Landing on the Ridge Road side of Lake Hartwell, called in to Hearsay Headquarters for All Things Lost and Found to report that a "cream-colored wakeboard with purple markings on it and with boots on it" floated up to the shoreline just a little over two weeks ago. The flotsam also included, according to Mr. B, "a deflated blue and yellow tube and two Yamaha life jackets. Everything floated up all together. I don't know who all this stuff belongs to, but I'm sure they'd want it back." So, here's the scoop — if it's your stuff, by all means call Mr. B at (706) 376-4933.
Drum roll, please. No hot toy. Hearsay heard the tail-end of a news story on television which said that there was — drum roll, please — no "hot" toy that all the kids are clamoring for this Christmas season and consequently, that few parents are pulling their hair out in an attempt to find them. To Hearsay, who's getting long in the tooth and remembers getting oranges in her stocking, that's great news. The "hot" toys, to her way of thinking, have always been the traditional toys anyway — a pair of roller skates, a baby doll with eyes that shut when she lies down, a pair of cowboy boots and a brand-new bike being at the very top of that list.
Speaking of toys, pictures please? Several Hearsayers tuned in to ask if Hearsay had a picture of the children's wooden rockers which Hearsay wrote about last week. The rockers are made by Hearsayer Julian of Fair Play (864-634-0500) and what's really cool for college football fans from around here is that Mr. J can make rockers that look like Carolina Gamecocks, Clemson Tigers and Georgia Bulldogs. So, here're some pics! And by the way, Mr. J's wife, Tracey said she'd heard from several readers interested in the rockers. "Thank you very much! We got three responses from what you wrote." Well, you're welcome, Ms. T!
And finally, 'fore we go, ah so! Another funny sign sighting! Hearsayer Deb of Hartwell sent this one along to Hearsay by way of her Facebook page. It's a pretty funny message emanating from a Chinese restaurant from Whoknowswhere. Here's what it says: "ALL YOU CAN EAT BUFFET — NOT MEAN ALL DAY BUFFET — YOU NO COME STAY FOUR HOUR — YOU EAT — YOU GO HOME." Now this reminds Hearsay of a set of instructions to the consumer which she read on a sign above the front counter at a Chinese restaurant in Columbia. The sign was posted just underneath a slew of numbered meal choices. Here's what it said. "SAY ORDER NUMBER. SAY 'EAT HERE' OR 'TAKE OUT.' SAY THANK YOU!" So here's what Hearsay has to say — thank you for funny signs!

Indiana senators scaled back a plan to expand the state's private school voucher program Wednesday to ally fears about its costs.
The revised House Bill 1003 no longer allows any incoming kindergartener who meets income limits to use state tax dollars to pay private school tuition. They still must attend a public school for at least two years. The amended bill passed the Senate Education Committee 8-4.
But the amended bill adds a new wrinkle by making eligible any low income student living within the attendance boundary of a school that received a F on its state report card. ...

Beating the HeatPosted By
This will be our 8th day of 90-degree heat this year. The average? 18 days each year. We won't quite get to record territory, but we will be 10 degrees above average with a high of 93. If you want to beat the heat, seek shade or air conditioning, because Mother Nature won't be doing us any favors.
Today is also the 15th straight day officially for Indy without any measurable rain. We're now around 2 1/2″ below average for the month and nearly 5″ below average for the year. We need rain!
Our next chance of rain comes Thursday. Unfortunately, it's not a very good chance. Look for about a 60% chance of rain north and west of Lafayette with up to 1/2″ possible. From Indy points north and west to Lafayette, I'm expecting about a 30% chance of showers and storms with maybe up to 1/4″ of rain. South and east of Indy, the front looks like it really falls apart – meaning rain chances drop to around 20% and rain totals may only be up to 1/10″.
Behind the front, Friday will bring slightly cooler air in the 80s. We could see a shower or storm Saturday night to Sunday morning (again with very little rain expected), but it does look like a little heat relief to start next week with mid 80s in your WTHR-TV 7-day.
Finally, our WTHR-TV Hoosier Pic at noon: Guiness the dog knows how to beat the heat! He spends time in the pool! Great pic from Amanda Kilgore of the BAM Chase Team. Submit your pic! Just post it on WTHR's Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/WTHR13

The Heat is On!Posted By
We hit 86 degrees at noon in Indianapolis and should easily warm into the low 90s for highs with mostly sunny skies. It will be a breezy afternoon with winds gusting over 20 mph. Get used the the heat…it's not going anywhere.
While we'd love to see some rain, it won't happen for the next few days. So if you want to beat the heat, you may want to head to your neighborhood pool. Highs today will be close to but won't quite reach the record. 92 is my forecast this afternoon and the record is 96 set in 1994.
If you are out and about, don't forget the shades and sunscreen! Today's UV Index is a 9 – Very High. You could burn in 15 minutes or less.
Looking ahead in your WTHR-TV 7-Day, you won't find much heat or rain relief. Our next chance (only a chance) arrives Thursday. Right now it looks like about a 30-50% chance of rain north and west of Indianapolis but only a 20% chance of rain south and east of Indy. Unfortunately, even if we do get rain, it looks like less than 1/4″ possible. There's another slight chance of rain early Sunday morning – mainly for the northeastern third of the state.
Finally, our WTHR-TV Hoosier Pic at noon. The Harvey Family submitted their Father's Day sign: "I love my Dad because…" So cute! Submit your pic on WTHR's Facebook Page: https://www.facebook.com/WTHR13

Hot and Dry Weather ReturnsPosted By
Only a couple lonely spots reaped the benefits of rain on Father's Day. Storms in Illinois died and dissipated before reaching Indy Sunday morning, then very isolated showers developed east of Indy during the evening. The result: 13 straight days with no measurable precipitation at Indianapolis International Airport.
24-hour rainfall estimates were highest north and west of Lafayette with about a third of an inch. But most spots were like Indy: dry.
Extra clouds held the temperatures down a bit on Sunday. Our high was 88 (still above the average of 83). Starting Monday, we'll see 90s return as a warm front lifts northward through the state. Along the way, there's a very small chance of a shower Monday morning mainly north/east of Indy. The majority of us will yet again be dry and that dry streak may not end until Thursday. Late Thursday and early Friday, we'll have a shot at some rain, but most computer models bring very little in the way of totals for us…which means even if we do get rain, it won't even make a dent in our worsening drought. Though 90s will be the rule for much of your WTHR-TV 7-Day, we won't be in record territory. Records are in the mid 90s to 100 this upcoming week. The Summer Solstice arrives at 7:09 pm Wednesday – and we'll definitely be feeling the summer swelter with the hottest day of the year possible.
Hang in there,
Twitter Facebook
While some parts of Indiana did receive some much-needed rain Saturday, most of the Hoosier State remained hot and dry. But there's the chance of some scattered showers and t-storms overnight (mainly after 2am) and again on Father's Day from morning to afternoon. If you're lucky, you might get around 1/2″ of rain (more in any slow-moving downpours). There will also be plenty of dry time for any outdoor Father's Day plans.
So who got the rain Saturday? Parts of Warren county got an estimated 6″ of rain prompting flood warnings. More than 3″ of rain fell in parts of Fountain County per radar estimates. And more than 2″ in parts of Montgomery. Heavy rain also fell in East-Central Indiana from Wayne County to Jay County. But remained bone dry in the Indy Metro.
Here's a closer look at some of the heavy rain from radar estimates. We did receive a report from a weather spotter in Rob Roy (Fountain County) who measured 4.12″ of rain there and reported some small hail and minor wind damage.
We hit 93 on Saturday – the hottest since September 3rd and just 3 degrees shy of a record! It was our 6th day this year of 90+ heat. Father's Day will bring a bit of heat relief. The added clouds and better rain chances should hold high temps in the 80s.
The cool-down won't last long! By Monday we're back in the 90s through most of the week. Our next chance of rain after Father's Day arrives Thursday to Friday in your WTHR-TV 7-Day.
Happy Father's Day!
Finally a Chance of Rain This WeekendPosted By
With 88% of the state currently in a drought, what we need is rain! And we may finally get some this weekend. Late today, some isolated showers or storms are possible (about a 20% chance).
Tonight, there's the chance of a few storms that could turn strong to severe from Chicagoland to Central Indiana. There's a 15% chance of severe hail, 15% chance of damaging wind, and 2% chance of an isolated tornado. While we don't want severe storms, any that do form could bring some good downpours to bring some drought relief. We'll keep scattered showers and storms in the forecast for your Father's Day as well.
Yesterday's high reached 91 and we could get just as hot (maybe a little hotter) today. I'm forecasting a high of 92. That's 10 degrees above average and just 4 degrees shy of the record for this day set in 1913.
It's another Knozone Action Day, so try to refuel after 6, combine errands, and if your grass is growing enough to need a mow, hold off til this evening if you can.
Air Quality Alerts continue for most of the Indy Metro, Bloomington, Columbus, and Brownstown. Air Quality will be in the CODE ORANGE – Unhealthy for Sensitive Groups – Category, which means if you're elderly or very young or have any respiratory problems, it may become more difficult to breathe during the heat of the afternoon. Take Care!
Tomorrow, we'll get a little bit of heat relief as well as a chance of some scattered showers and storms for Father's Day. It won't be a washout, but up to 1/2″ of rain is possible in some spots with a high of 86.
What's ahead? After a brief day in the 80s for Father's Day, we jump back to the 90s for much of next week. We've already had 5 days of 90-degree heat this year so far! There's another chance at rain late Thursday and Friday in your WTHR-TV 7-Day.
Have a great weekend!

No Rain Anytime SoonPosted By
Our dry weather could turn dangerous this afternoon due to lowering humidity and breezy winds. The combination will make for increased wildfire danger through the day.
This month, we've only had 0.05″ of rain officially for Indy…and for the year so far, we're running nearly 4″ below average! We desperately need rain, but with high pressure in charge for the foreseeable future, it doesn't look likely. I have added a chance of an isolated shower or storm, but not until Monday.
After highs in the low 80s, we'll have a pleasant evening ahead for the Indians game with a first pitch forecast of 78 degrees. The big difference: it will be much less humid than recent days.
We'll keep that cooler/drier/less humid feel through midweek, but by the end of the week, a warm front ushers in hot and humid air for Father's Day weekend when we could see 90s return!
Finally, our WTHR-TV Hoosier Pic at noon thanks to photographer David Lawrence who posted this gorgeous duck photo on our facebook page. He took it Saturday at Lilly Pond. If you'd like to share a pic, just post it on WTHR's Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/WTHR13

Best Rain Chance All WeekPosted By
Our recent dry weather has now made history. In the month from May 10th to June 10th, Indy officially received only 0.65″ of rain. That's the least in recorded history, even less than during the Drought of 1988 when 0.97″ of rain fell during that stretch. We need rain and our best chance comes today through early tonight with scattered showers and a few storms possible. It's no guarantee we'll get much rain and some spots may get missed altogether, so keep those sprinklers going! For now, I'm holding on to hope of up to 1/4″ of rain. After that, we'll return to dry weather for the rest of the week.
A cold front moves through tonight and behind it, we'll have slightly cooler and less humid air move in for a couple of days. But late week into Father's Day weekend, we'll be flirting with upper 80s to 90 yet again! Looking at the medium-range forecasts, there could be another decent rain chance, but not until the 22nd!
Finally, here's our Hoosier Pic at Noon Monday – a wedding photo from Debbie Sizemore submitted on our WTHR-TV Facebook page. Debbie's daughter Jamie (the bridge) and Jeremy Garrett (the groom) posed with a carton of ice cream for a pic – fitting on a hot summer day, especially since Jeremy is in ice cream sales!

I have my fingers crossed for rain!

Hot Today… Rain in SightPosted By
Another hot day with above average warmth is ahead… and there's finally rain on the horizon!
Highs will reach the upper 80s today with a little more humidity and partly cloudy skies for the afternoon. We'll get a southeast breeze up to 10mph today.
Tonight, clouds will be on the increase, and after midnight, scattered showers and thunderstorms are possible.
Scattered showers and thunderstorms remain in the forecast Monday as highs top out in the low 80s. Our chance for rain ends by Tuesday morning. At this time, up to a half an inch of rain looks possible. Some spots may see more. So far for the month of June, Indy has only picked up .05″ of rain. We are running 3.59″ below normal for the year.
Wednesday temps reach the low 80s, which is normal for this time of year. By next weekend we could be talking the upper 80s again.
Our next chance of rain doesn't appear in the 7 day forecast until Sunday.

Becky has spent her entire career cooking and baking, which are also her favorite hobbies outside of work. For her, time spent in the kitchen not only relieves stress, but is lots of fun as well. Becky's love for baking began as a child, standing on a chair next her mom, adding ingredients and mixing up dough.

These wise old owl cookies are decorated before baking.
Combine butter, sugar and brown sugar in bowl; beat at medium speed until creamy. Add egg and vanilla; continue beating until well mixed. Add flour, baking powder and salt; beat at low speed until well mixed.
Divide dough into thirds. Add cocoa to one-third of dough; mix well. Divide chocolate dough in half. Roll each half into 10-inch log; set aside.
Roll out each remaining white dough amount into a 10x4-inch rectangle. Place 1 chocolate log onto each white dough rectangle. Roll white dough completely around chocolate log, leaving ends uncovered. Wrap dough logs in plastic food wrap; refrigerate at least 2 hours until firm.
Heat oven to 350°F.
Cut logs into 1/4-inch slices with sharp knife. Create owls by placing 2 slices onto ungreased cookie sheet, side-by-side with edges touching. Using fingers, pinch dough to form ear at top of each circle. Place 1 baking chip in center of each chocolate section for eyes. Press 1 cashew into bottom center of each cookie to create beak. Repeat with remaining dough slices.
Bake 9-12 minutes or until lightly browned. Cool on cookie sheet 5 minutes; remove to cooling rack.
*Substitute chocolate, white chocolate, mint or caramel baking chips.

Additional Information on Vina Somoza Godello Sobre Lias 2012
Winery: Vina Somoza
Vintage: 20122012 has, so far been a positive year for wineries around the world. While it may be a little too early to speak of the wines being made in the northern hemisphere, European and North American wineries have already begun reporting that their harvesting season has been generally very good, and are predicting to continue with the kind of successes they saw in 2011. However, 2012 has been something of a late year for France, due to unpredictable weather throughout the summer, and the grapes were ripening considerably later than they did in 2011 (which was, admittedly, an exceptionally early year). French wineries are claiming, though, that this could well turn out to be advantageous, as the slow ripening will allow the resulting wines to express more flavour and features of the terroir they are grown in. The southern hemisphere has seen ideal climatic conditions in most of the key wine producing countries, and Australia and New Zealand particularly had a superb year, in particular with the Bordeaux varietal grapes that grow there and which love the humidity these countries received plenty of. Also enjoying a fantastic year for weather were wineries across Argentina and Chile, with the Mendoza region claiming that 2012 will be one of their best vintages of the past decade. Similar claims are being made across the Chilean wine regions, where Sauvignon Blanc and Cabernet Sauvignon had an especially good year. These two grape varietals also produced characterful wines on the coastal regions of South Africa this year.
Region: GaliciaThe northern Spanish wine region of Galicia is a fascinating one indeed, and is most definitely a wine region to keep your eye on today and in the near future. Once an important center of viticulture and wine trade, Galicia suffered from a huge and devastating economic depression in the 19th century, leaving many of the vineyards untended and useless. However, the 20th century saw various organizations pour money into Galician wine making, thus rebooting the wine industry of this relative wet and windy region on the Atlantic coast. Today, the region is being celebrated for its superb and flavorful blended white wines, made from native grape varietals such as Albarino and Caino Blanca, and is continuing to rebuild itself and regain former glories.
Country: Spain
Ever since the Phoenicians and Romans brought their knowledge of vine cultivation to Spanish soils, the country's culture has grown alongside wine production, with wine being a vital part of Spanish identity and Spanish traditions. Each region of Spain has a wine quite distinct from the others, and it is produced by smallholders and families as much as it is by large companies and established wineries. From the relatively mild and lush regions of La Rioja to the arid plateaus that surround Madrid, grapes are grown in abundance for the now booming Spanish wine industry, and new laws and regulations have recently been put in place to keep the country's standards high. By combining traditional practices with modern technology, Spanish wineries are continuing to produce distinctive wines of great character, flavor and aroma, with the focus shifting in recent decades to quality over quantity.

Minutes 09.03.09
University of Virginia School of Medicine
Curriculum Committee
Pediatric Conference Room, 4:00 p.m.
Present (underlined) were: Gretchen Arnold, Dan Becker, Robert Bloodgood, Megan Bray, Eugene Corbett, Thomas Gampper, Wendy Golden, Donald Innes (Chair), Keith Littlewood, Veronica Michaelsen, Mohan Nadkarni, Chris Peterson, Jerry Short, Linda Waggoner-Fountain, Bill Wilson, Mary Kate Worden, Lisa Herrmann, Evan Lapinsky, Debra Reed (secretary)
- MD-PhD Curriculum Proposal. The Curriculum Committee voted over the summer to formally approve the following proposal from Dr. Gary Owens. The proposal has been reviewed by the Offices of Admissions and Student Affairs and brings some consistency across all MD-PhD programs nationwide.
1. The University of Virginia Medical Scientist Training Program (MSTP) students shall start July 1 of each calendar year. 2. MSTP students will be enrolled in the MSTP Summer Program on July 1 of that calendar year.
UVA SOM 2009 Competencies. The Curriculum Committee also voted over the summer to formally approve the revised statement of the UVA Competencies.
Changes include:
1. Putting the science competencies in 2nd place; keeping the 2 sub-elements (communication going to 3rd place) 2. Using the UVA elaboration of the professionalism competency in place of the AAMC version, 3. Using the AAMC competency sequence (similar to that of our library poster). 4. Including the (italisized) annotations and moving them to read after the respective competencies. 5. Using the AAMC wording (elaboration) for competencies 3 - 12.
Other minor grammatical changes were also made. Thanks go to Gene Corbett for his work to make the revisions as discussed at the May 14, 2009 Curriculum Committee meeting.
The 2009 Revised Competencies statement is now posted on the Curriculum website at:
Announcement: The Curriculum Committee will meet on the first, second and third Thursday of each month. Members were also asked to reserve the fourth Thursday in October in case developments in the new curriculum require a special meeting.
End of First Year USMLE Style Examination. Jerry Short reviewed the results of the cumulative exam given to the Class of 2012 immediately after completion of their first year in April 2009. This exam was developed by the USMLE and questions are derived from disciplines covered in the first year. There was no "passing" score and the score did not affect the students' record in SOM. The students were asked not to study for this exam - preparation for the exam was having taken the first year courses.
The purpose of this self-assessment were:
1. to allow the student to preview and practice the actual format and testing environment used in the United States Medical Licensing Exam (USMLE) required in Years 2, 3, and residency. 2. to provide the student with feedback about their mastery and retention of material from the entire first year.
The exam was expensive and given under USML strict security conditions which involved a much faculty time for proctoring. The questions on the exam were selected by the National Board of Medical Examiners not by UVA Faculty.
Each student received a print out of their performance on the exam as a whole as well as individual subject areas. Distribution was thought to be similar to that of most course grade distributions and not unlike those from the Step 1 exam. Comparison of the scores to those of the same students' Step 1 scores in 2010 was discussed.
The validity of the scores was questioned since students knew it was not going to affect their UVA record. A few students did seem to complete the exam very quickly and received a poor grade. Whether this would have happened had the score been part of the students' grade in the SOM was discussed.
The Committee discussed whether the information obtained from this test is of value to the medical student and/or the administration. When the USMLE was considering giving Step 1 after the third year, it would have been more important to have some national assessment prior to that exam. It now appears this is not likely to happen in the near future. An exam based on first year courses will also not fit with the new curriculum, at that point, if used it would have to be tailored to systems. The USMLE does offer such as approach.
The Committee will ask the Assessment Committee if the data from this exam would be useful to them before making a decision on whether to continue giving this exam. Veronica Michaelsen will take this back to the Committee and provide the Curriculum Committee with their response as soon as possible.
AM/PM Scheduling of Classes in the New Curriculum. Chris Peterson, a member of the Working Group on Clinical Skills Education further explained a proposal by this group for morning/afternoon CPD (Clinical Performance Development) activities. The Foundations course and some of the systems have difficulty incorporating the 1-2 hours of CPD large group activities into the morning hours and faculty recruitment and hospital usage in the morning hours presents difficulties. The CPD recommends: (italicised comments from Chris Peterson) that the CPD-I sessions need to uniformly be scheduled in the pm - a) faculty recruitmen and b) occasional large group sessions. The CPD also recommende that for the MCM period, the CPD-I large group Monday session can be held from 1-2pm (not in the morning). This means that the CPD-I sessions during this period will generally need to be limited to 3 hours including Monday CPD small group sessions from 2-5pm and Tu-Wed-Th sessions from 1-4pm.

6.6 billion people. 18 million more every year. 6.4 billion tonnes of CO2 emissions, yearly. And over 1 billion internet users.
These are just some of the figures presented in the "World Clock" — an overview the human impact on our planet.
Continuing the theme of our previous post "Shocking images of unsustainability", the World Clock paints an equally fascinating and terrifying picture of what is going here on our pale blue dot by presenting key figures for everything from population growth to total number of bicycles produced.
All things considered, it's no surprise that sustainability has climbed high up on many agendas.

Wow, it has been quite a week.
Last Saturday night a friend called. He and his family have been deeply rooted in this community for decades, and his voice betrayed the fact he was shaken. He told me his daughter had just called and his wife was on the way to the hospital.
When I received the call I had no idea of the journey we were about to take; hours later his wife of more than three decades had gone to be with the Lord.
I have stood in those hospital halls, sat in those waiting rooms and walked out to that parking lot with grieving family members more times than I can count, but it is never easy. This one was worse than painful.
I have been to lots of funerals. The funeral was packed with people. The kids stood up and blessed their mom; a friend that had shared life with this dear lady talked of their five decades of shared memories. Why was this one packed, not only with people but saturated in love?
The answer is really easy, and it's found in Ecclesiastes.
Loading more stuff…
Hmm…it looks like things are taking a while to load. Try again?

The issue of so-called same-sex "marriage" will soon come before the Supreme Court. I am no betting man, but if I were, I would gamble every dime to my name that before long, "gay marriage" will be the law of the land. I would further bet that those right-leaning politicians and their allies within the alternative media who have insisted upon preserving the heterosexual character of marriage will succumb to a deafening silence not long after that
In the annals of the human race, it is not often that we witness the particularities of time and culture giving way to a consensus on a moral issue. Yet whether understood as a historical institution or as a spiritual and moral ideal, there is no group of people the world over that has failed to recognize marriage for the intrinsically heterosexual union that it is.
But alas, leave it to our generation to see to it that this state of affairs doesn't last. The problem is that it will indeed succeed at detonating "the general bank … of nations and of ages," as Burke famously described the wisdom of "the species."
It isn't just that leftist activists and the Democratic Party are resolved to make their dream of same-sex "marriage" a reality. More importantly — and more tellingly — it is that the proponents of traditional marriage have no one who is willing to fight on their behalf.
As the base of the GOP reevaluates its party in the wake of the losses it suffered last month, it is imperative that among the realizations at which Republican voters arrive is that Republican rhetoric on this issue is just that.

LINCOLN ŌĆö Dave Waycott is currently bouncing around the same dilemma 14 other playoff-bound head coaches around the state are pondering as they prepare for their respective Thanksgiving matchups.
ŌĆ£Do you play (your players) to keep them sharp or rest them to avoid getting hurt?ŌĆØ the Lincoln head coach asked. ŌĆ£IŌĆÖve been going back and forth with this. I havenŌĆÖt really decided what weŌĆÖre going to do when we play them.ŌĆØ
The ŌĆ£themŌĆØ Waycott is referring to is the LionsŌĆÖ new Thanksgiving Eve rival ŌĆö neighboring Central Falls. The Warriors mark the fourth holiday opponent in the LionsŌĆÖ history, following Shea (1968-2001), North Smithfield (2002-04), and Johnston (2005-09).
ŌĆ£I like it because weŌĆÖre so close,ŌĆØ noted Waycott, whose Lions will host the first game on Thanksgiving Eve at 7 p.m. ŌĆ£ItŌĆÖs a Blackstone Valley rivalry that we havenŌĆÖt seen in a while. I remember when I played in the days (the rivalry) was Lincoln-Shea and everyone in the town came out for the game because they knew each other. ThatŌĆÖs what IŌĆÖm hoping for with this rivalry.ŌĆØ
Waycott also hopes his Lions, who are heavy favorites to beat the Warriors, can capture the series opener, but at the same, come away from it a healthy bunch as they set their sights on their Division III semifinal-round duel the following Tuesday at 5 p.m. with the Moses Brown School.
ŌĆ£ItŌĆÖs probably going to be a situation that once weŌĆÖre playing, weŌĆÖll see how it goes,ŌĆØ admitted Waycott, whose crew will take on the Quakers at Brown UniversityŌĆÖs Berylson Field, the practice field for the BearsŌĆÖ football team.
This season has been a very interesting one for the Lions, who reached the Division II playoffs a year ago, but still found themselves dropping down to the Division III ranks when the RIIL realigned the four divisions.
Most folks tabbed the Lions as one of the teams to beat in the division and a lock to reach the playoffs, but Lincoln didnŌĆÖt secure a postseason berth until two weeks ago when the Lions topped playoff-bound Middletown High and Burrillville was upset by two-win Tiverton.
That victory over the Islanders and a 20-14 triumph earlier in the year over Moses Brown were the highlights of the season, but there also a couple of lowlights, such as a surprising 33-14 rout by undefeated Rogers and a 23-7 upset loss to Narragansett.
ŌĆ£I told the guys just a couple of weeks ago, ŌĆśEvery time we play a game, it seems like we have two opponents, the team weŌĆÖre playing and ourselves,ŌĆÖ ŌĆØ said Waycott. ŌĆ£We had games where we were clicking on all cylinders and we had some where we were doing the opposite.ŌĆØ
If the Lions, who at 5-3, will be the third seed in the playoffs, plan to claim the two postseason games they need to win their first Division III title since 2002, they will need to play four quarters of football, something they didnŌĆÖt do in their defeats to Rogers, Narragansett, and Burrillville, and obviously not beat themselves with mistakes.
They are also going to need some outstanding play and leadership from their senior class, which may not be one of the LionsŌĆÖ biggest in recent years, but is certainly one of their most talented.
ŌĆ£ItŌĆÖs a great group of boys,ŌĆØ added Waycott. ŌĆ£A lot of them IŌĆÖve known since they were six in the (townŌĆÖs) youth league. WeŌĆÖve had a lot of senior classes that had mostly linemen, but this is probably one of the strongest skilled-set (senior) classes that weŌĆÖve had in a while.ŌĆØ
High school football enthusiasts across the state know about standout senior quarterback Ryan OŌĆÖDell, who was a 1,000-yard passer for the third straight season and the LionsŌĆÖ leading rusher with more than 700 yards, but heŌĆÖs not the only 12th grader who has shined for the Lions.
ŌĆ£WeŌĆÖve had plenty,ŌĆØ admitted Waycott. ŌĆ£David Gibbs, who played tight end, came out as a guard this year and did phenomenal for us. Brendan Dyer and Howie Bradley also played well. Max Lee, Jacob Lisi, Brendan Reddington was a first-year senior. I could name a lot.ŌĆØ

Rich Chocolate Cake with Salty Dulce de Leche & Hazelnut Brittle
- 1 cup freshly brewed hot coffee
- 1/2 cup Dutch-processed cocoa powder
- 3/4 cup packed light brown sugar
- 1/2 cup plain whole-milk yogurt
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 8 tablespoons (1 stick) unsalted butter, at room temperature
- 1 1/4 cups granulated sugar
- 2 eggs
- 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 3/4 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon table salt
- Hazelnut Brittle
- 1/2 cup dulce de leche
- 1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt
1. Preheat the oven to 350°F. Prepare a 10-inch round cake pan by greasing it with cooking spray and then lining the bottom with parchment paper.
2. To make the cake, pour the hot coffee into a medium bowl and stir in the cocoa powder until it dissolves. Stir in the brown sugar, followed by the yogurt and the vanilla. Stir thoroughly to ensure that all of the ingredients are incorporated.
3. In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat the butter and granulated sugar on medium speed until light-yellow and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Scrape down the sides of the bowl. Add the eggs and mix for 2 minutes, scraping down the bowl as needed.
4. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. With the mixer running on low speed, mix in a third of the flour mixture and half of the coffee mixture. Scrape down the bowl. Add another third of the flour mixture and all the remaining coffee mixture. Remove the bowl from the mixer and, using a rubber spatula, fold in the remaining flour mixture until all of the ingredients are fully incorporated. Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan.
5. Bake for 25 minutes. Rotate the pan in the oven and bake for 20 more minutes, or until a cake tester inserted in the center of the cake comes out clean. Remove the pan from the oven and let the cake cool in the pan for 20 minutes. Then turn the cake out onto a clean plate, remove the parchment, and turn the cake back over onto a wire rack. Let the cake cool completely.
6. In a food processor, pulse the brittle pieces 3 to 4 times until the brittle is powdery.
7. Put the cooled cake on a serving dish. In a microwave-safe dish, heat the dulce de leche on high power for 30 seconds, or until it is just liquid. Spoon the dulce de leche over the cake, and then sprinkle the kosher salt over the dulce de leche. Sprinkle about 1/2 cup of the ground brittle around the outer edge of the cake as a delicious decoration.

Partnerships in Unlimited Educational Opportunities, or PUEO, gets low-income students ready for college
POSTED: 1:30 a.m. HST, Jul 21, 2011
LAST UPDATED: 5:32 a.m. HST, Jul 21, 2011
Precious Totten says if someone had asked her six years ago what her future held, she would have said, "You just automatically get a job you love and you make lots of money."
College? Not on her to-do list.
Today Totten, 16, a senior-to-be at Castle High School, has her sights on Brown University and other four-year colleges on the East Coast.
"I look back at myself and I laugh because I didn't even know what college was," Totten said Wednesday. "I know about all these opportunities now because of the PUEO Program. It's taught me that anything is possible."
Totten is among 40 ambitious Hawaii high school seniors who will "graduate" Friday from PUEO, or Partnerships in Unlimited Educational Opportunities. The program takes students entering middle school and gives them enrichment programs for seven consecutive summers at Punahou School, 'Iolani School and the University of Hawaii at Manoa.
"We're not just planting the idea of college in their minds, but creating a college-bound culture for the students," said Erin Nagoshi, lead kumu for PUEO's seventh-year class. "For these students, going to college isn't even a question anymore."
The program was created in 2005; Friday's graduates are the first to complete the seven-year program.
PUEO is designed to serve gap-group public school kids — those in the middle 60 percentile academically — who might not otherwise get the attention to spur them to college.
"The top 20 percent can get to college on their own, the bottom 20 have a lot more resources available to them, but that middle 60 percent are often overlooked," said David Miyashiro, administration intern for PUEO.
Students begin the program after completion of fifth grade. All are public school students who come from low-income households. Their teachers and principal select them. Each summer a new group of 40 students begins the program. There are now 280 students from 50 different schools in the seven groups.
There is no charge. It is funded primarily by the Clarence T.C. Ching Foundation, which gave PUEO a $3 million, six-year grant in 2009, PUEO program director Carl Ackerman said.
During the six-week summer session, students engage in hands-on projects such as robotics, rocketry and movie editing. The older students get SAT preparation and college counseling.
Kiona Esteban, 16, said she wasn't initially thrilled when she found out she was selected for PUEO.
"My dad told me one day and I was like, 'Ew, Dad, I don't want to do that, it sounds like such a drag.' But now I know how lucky I am to be here and I'm so grateful," Esteban said.
The Roosevelt High student was selected in the sixth grade at Noelani Elementary after a student from that school left PUEO.
The program is a partnership between Punahou, UH-Manoa and the state Department of Education.
"PUEO comes from the vision Jim Scott (Punahou's president) wanted, that Punahou is a private school with a public purpose," Ackerman said.
Students who graduate from the program will receive an acceptance award from UH-Manoa, meaning that if they graduate from high school and meet the admission requirements, they'll automatically be accepted to UH-Manoa.
"Before PUEO I thought college was only for rich and smart people, but now I know it's for everyone," said Chevy Coelho, 17, of Roosevelt High. "Now my attitude is just apply because education is the most important thing you're ever going to get."
