You Are What You Drink
So the temperature is rising and you won't consider drinking hot tea at this time of year despite the evidence indicating that drinking some hot brews can help you keep your cool? That's fine, drink your favorite tea over ice and eliminate the extra calorie intake of many popular, but not so healthy, beverage choices.
June is National Iced Tea Month and a terrific time for trying new blends and brews, hot or cold. With the latest information published in the March issue of the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition reinforcing the positive aspects and benefits of tea, now is the time to embrace, not abandon, this healthy choice.
For the first time a panel of experts released guidelines on what and how much consumers should drink as part of a healthy diet. The panel consisted of experts in the fields of nutrition, epidemiology, obesity, hydration and phytochemicals from several leading institutions including Harvard School of Public Health, Johns Hopkins, University of North Carolina, Louisiana State University, University of Connecticut, and Oregon State University. The panel proposed Healthy Beverage Guidelines created to help consumers make smart beverage choices. In short the guidelines suggest, women drink 9 eight ounce servings and men drink 13 eight ounces servings of beverages daily.
It's estimated that consumers gulp over 20 percent of their total calorie intake, or over 400 calories per day, from liquids. The majority of these represent high calorie, low nutrient choices. Additionally some research suggests that the calories consumed in beverages don't satisfy or fill you up the same way solid food calories do, further contributing to increased calorie intake and eventual weight gain.
The panel ranked beverages according to the nutrients per calorie (nutrition density) and whether they had helpful or harmful effects on overall health, such as the potential for reducing the risk of certain diseases or conversely, contributing to obesity.
The rankings, listed here, are in order of healthiest to least healthy. Consumption recommendations are based on a daily intake of 2,200 calories.
According to the panel, tea (black, green and oolong) is a rich source of flavonoid, antioxidants and other micronutrients. These properties are linked to potential health benefits such as increased bone density, reduced tooth decay and cavities and reduced risk of kidney stones, even more reason to brew and drink fresh tea year round.
For those of you who followed the blog while I was in China, I am back. Now that I have gathered all the photos and my schedule is slowing down I will include two of my favorite adventures and some of my best tea stories, my trips to Wuyishan and Yixing.
Keep an eye out for many new and exciting teas that we have selected, some never sold outside the Chinese Domestic Market as well as spring teas from other areas such as the Ceylon Silver Needle, just out of the garden 2 weeks ago, due to arrive early next week! If you want to be notified when new teas arrive let us know by sending an email to firstname.lastname@example.com.
Let me take this opportunity to thank the Tea Association of the USA, Inc. for their continued efforts and support. Whenever called upon they have been there to help us clarify and spread the real message of tea and health in an accurate and extremely tasteful way, Thanks!
In closing, everyone at Teas Etc wishes you a safe, fun filled, tasty beginning of summer.

Death NoteandDeath Note: The Last Name. A young aspiring lawyer in Tokyo with the totally awesome name of Light Yagami (Battle Royale star Tatsuya Fujiwara) finds a mysterious book that brings death upon anyone whose name is written in it. I know what you're thinking: A creepy drowned girl with black hair over her face shows up to kill them, right? No. This is based on an anime, which in turn was based on a comic book—so a huge, crazy-looking CG demon gets in on the action. Meanwhile, Light tries to use the book for good by writing the names of criminals down, which ends up attracting the attention of the world's greatest detective, who's simply known as "L" (Ken'ichi Matsuyama). Their battle of wits continues in the sequel and a forthcoming third installment. Live-action adaptations of anime can be an acquired taste—without Hollywood budgets, anything involving supernatural demons can be cheesy as hell (see the live-action Devilman movie), though it can also be epic (Wicked City). They're never, ever boring, though.
Dante's Inferno. Dante Alighieri's journey through the underworld to find his long-lost love is re-imagined in a Hell that looks a whole lot like present-day America, as rendered in what appear to be hand-drawn cardboard puppets. Dermot Mulroney voices Dante, with James Cromwell as his guide, Virgil; the movie was created by SoCal artist Sandow Birk, filmmaker Sean Meredith, and Beakman's World star Paul Zaloom, who also happens to be an alumnus of the renowned Bread and Puppet Theater in Vermont. The three previously collaborated on a mock-doc based on Birk's paintings about a civil war between LA and San Francisco, but this looks a great deal more ambitious. It may just be a gimmick film that gets tiresome after the first 10 minutes or so, or it may be groundbreaking. Either way, it looks like no other movie this year.
Fat Stupid Rabbit. How can you not love that title? Better yet, how can you resist a movie about overweight, middle-aged, alcoholic Russian actors who play animals and inanimate objects all day in a children's theater? Slava Ross' film is so under-the-radar that IMDB doesn't even have an entry on it—or him—as of this writing.
The Artfusion Experiment. Tattoo artist Paul Booth directs this documentary about collaborative creations by tattoo artists, on the body and on canvas, and the attempt to legitimize the art form with gallery exhibitions. As a proud Inked-American, I've always respected the customizers of the human canvas, but those of you who aren't convinced probably need to check this out.
Komaneko—The Curious Cat. A stop-motion animated film about a stop-motion animator . . . who just happens to be a Japanese stuffed cat. Shorts featuring Komaneko have already shown up on YouTube, so you can get a sense of what you're in for. The last time I took a chance on a bizarre Japanese animated film about a cat, it turned out to be the mind-blowing Tamala 2010, still unavailable on U.S. DVD or at any of the Asian-import stores I've been to. Looking forward to saying hello to this kitty.
The Restless(Joong Chun). In Korea, during the Shilla Dynasty, a young man (Joon-Ho Hur) joins the official royal demon-hunting squad and ends up in the midheaven, a place for souls who have died but have not yet been reincarnated. There, he must . . . Aw, hell with it; look, if you're not sold on the movie by now, you're never gonna be.
Exiled (Fong Juk). One of the few big-name Hong Kong action directors not to have moved to Hollywood, Johnny To isn't as well-known on these shores as he ought to be, except among film geeks. This crime thriller is set in Macau in 1998, shortly before Portuguese rule ended and Chinese began, with various criminals scrambling to make some last-minute scores and hitmen trying to get the job done before the more hardline Communists crack down. Leonardo DiCaprio is apparently attached to a possible American remake that's almost certain to be inferior, so catch the real deal while you can.
Twice Upon a Time. Thankfully, not another fractured fairy-tale Shrek rip-off, as the title might imply, but rather, a romantic comedy from France. Why should you care? Because the leads are Charlotte Rampling and Jean Rochefort, who are both amazing talents. Or maybe because it's refreshing to see a romantic comedy that involves full-grown adults for a change. Rochefort plays a director, Rampling an actress; once a glamorous couple, they haven't seen each other in 30 years. Hijinks ensue. Mature hijinks, naturally.
Bad Boys of Summer. Baseball might just be the second-most boring game in the world (top honors go to cricket, which is like the extended director's-cut version of baseball), but documentaries about prisoners doing stuff are always golden. From Shakespeare Behind Bars to The Wildest Show in the South, nonfiction flicks about the wacky extracurricular activities of convicted crooks always hit the spot, for some reason. So even though the activity here is baseball (don't be hatin', Angels fans—at least you'll never have to compete with me for good tickets), the fact that the term "batting cage" takes on a whole new meaning in San Quentin is enough to take me out to this particular ball game.

Who makes a nice one? Needs to be able to clear a CK headset and have a long drop and barrel adjuster.
Also, is the rear brake cable stop on the PX threaded for a barrel adjuster?
Who makes a nice one? Needs to be able to clear a CK headset and have a long drop and barrel adjuster.
Also, is the rear brake cable stop on the PX threaded for a barrel adjuster?
What you want is a Carbon cable hanger, absolutely brilliant no more brake shudder problems just smooth braking with lots of feel and can be set up for plenty of power too.
Focus supply them on their high end cross racers and not sure whether they are freely available but they should be cos nobody would need to worry about notorious Canti brake problems again.
I have a picture of one on my Psychlo-x but don't know how to upload the pictures, if anyone can advise then i think it would be good for all to see. One of these babies should be on all cross racers.
When i got my Psychlo-x the one spoiler was the Canti brakes and i am sure we all know to well about the difficulty of setting up Canti brakes.
With modern forks (I have Edge) and a Carbon hanger all my brake woes are well and truly sorted, now i use the Psychlo-x for everything commute, road and light trail it is just the best bike ever i would never buy anything else except maybe a Psychlo-x RSL.
Just make sure it is attached to the fork and not up at the headset. I've read that will significantly reduce chatter.
thx Dave, I will look into a carbon hanger. Mark, edge/enve cx fork doesn't have a hole for cable hanger.
I'm kind of partial to the IRD long drop hanger...super solid and clean lines. It does not come with a barrel adjusters, but QBP makes a "problem solver" version that does have one.
cool beans, thx Jon.
how they treatin' ya in Austin?
Here is the article I read. It is pretty thorough on the subject of brake chatter. Having a quality fork that is stiff will help if you can't lower the hanger.
I have tried a bunch and so far the winner is an ebay purchased one that was built by a guy making them for Bart Wellens. It's super simple and has a ridiculous drop and a built in adjuster. The finish is simple but it works well (its not as bling as the gold version Bart has run in the past!). I recall seeing photos on some of the forums. A little something for the europhiles in all of us!
I followed Jon's advice and got an IRD.
Tailgator bag showed up today, very nice.

Co-author (with Linda K. Trevino) of Managing Ethics in Business Organizations: Social Scientific Perspectives (Stanford University Press, 2003); this work recently was described as one of two books marking "the birth of behavioral business ethics as an identifiable area of inquiry" (quote from page 21 of the chapter by Brief in Tenbrunsel & DeCremer (eds.) Behavioral Business Ethics: Shaping an Emerging Field, 2012). Recent research recognition includes a 2011 Journal of Management Scholarly Impact Award, the 2010 "best article" award from the International Association for Business and Society (for the best article published by an IABS member in any journal), a Journal of Business Ethics "citation classics" award in 2012 (for authoring one of the 33 most-cited articles during the journal's 30 years of publication), and the Lerner College of Business & Economics 2013 Outstanding Scholar award.

Professor Weaver's research interests primarily concern ethics in organizations, from the standpoint of both individual behavioral and cognitive processes, and organizational and institutional level policies, practices, cultures and structures. Current projects are focused on intuitionist theories in behavioral ethics (covering both the process and content of moral intuitions); social network effects on ethics in organizations; and the interplay of institutionalized practices and individual behavior and cognition in generating local and systemic ethical failure (as in the recent financial crisis; see (click) the Securitization and the Shadow Banking System project website).

NFP sympto Plus
by: Harri Wettstein | 180
by: Harri Wettstein | 180
Sympto Plus: The only reliable and precise symptothermal (NFP) fertility tracking app on the internet: Natural contraception is guaranteed when sympto plus is used correctly. Apps that pretend to predict ovulation day or that make other forecasts are pure fake.
It runs on all Android tablets. No hidden costs! Sympto plus does not require an internet connection for its basic functions. It is a genuine, stand-alone app powered by Java technology and has been running smoothly since 2008.
Occasional internet connection ensures syncing with your sympto.org account. Introduction videos get you started.
Sympto Plus includes 15 days of free fertility management coaching by a trained, professional Natural Family Planning (NFP) counsellor. Fertility management coaching beyond the free, 15-day trial can be purchased as "Premium Access" option in various time increments for you to become competent in your symptothermal interpretations.
Sympto Plus calculates your fertile window using the "symptothermal method" (STM) which uses your basal body temperature that you record on days indicated by the app, and cross-checks it with your cervical fluid observations. Alternatively or additionally, there is an option to include internal cervical observations in your data.
A full, free-of-charge manual explains the complete method in great detail on www.sympto.org.
Other features:
*Special functions built in for pregnancy-achieving, breastfeeding, and pre-menopause.
*"Pilot Mode" option guides you through your first cycle with instructions every step of the way.
*Enter data from past cycles as far back as January 2000.
When you enter at least six consecutive, completed cycles on sympto, we will analyze them for you free-of-charge and provide feedback to you before you continue.
*Your cycles can be posted anonymously in web forums or be sent to your gynaecologist.
*Easy-to-use icons with detailed descriptions to help you select the correct observations each day.
Note: When used correctly, the symptothermal method has been proven 99.4 PI effective in accurately indicating fertility status (see clinical studies on sympto.org) However, the Sympto Foundation cannot guarantee effectiveness with incorrect or incomplete use. Therefore, we recommend purchasing the "Premium Access" option for at least six months where you will learn how to properly observe and record your fertility signs.
*Moon phases help you to see yourself in harmony with the universe.
Visit www.sympto.org for more information about the non-profit-oriented Swiss SymptoTherm Foundation, 1132 Lully, Switzerland. On our website you will also find other products offered.

Women For: OC are Stitching and Bitching

Santa Ana River Ready for Its Renaissance

Can Tech Ruin the Kim Pham Murder Trial?
By Charles Lam
The second annual Latin Alternative Music Conference (LAMC) was held July 6-9 at the Manhattan Hilton in New York City and was attended by more than 1,200 people. I can't tell you how it went because OC Weekly music god Rich Kane was too cheap to send me there. But I have friends who went, who will now give the consensus of both the alcohol-sopped side and the serious, business-oriented one:
THE BOOZE: "LAMC kicked ass—even though we didn't really attend it. We got to New York Friday morning and immediately went to the Hamptons. On the way there, we drank vodka with Red Bull, vodka with fruit punch, and straight-up vodka. Next thing we knew, we were in Central Park in the middle of 20,000 people for Manu Chao's afternoon concert. We went back to our hotel to rest up for the opening party, but we woke up 14 hours later—so wasted that we missed Los Amigos Invisibles, Julieta Venegas and the entire first conference. Though there were a bunch of panel discussions, we went to only one or two—the rest of the time we were either networking or falling over trash cans because that's what we do when we're drunk. There were a lot of shows that we went to and recorded, even though we weren't supposed to."
THE BIZ: "The overall feeling at LAMC was that rock en español and Latin alternative music in general will make it big in the U.S.—but not yet. The audience is already there, but the problem is that record labels and the media don't know good music from shit, and they have no clue how to promote it to non-Latinos. They think 'Latin music,' so they give the country fucking Ricky Martin and Christina Aguilera. Radio stations are the worst. I heard a stat at LAMC that one-third of KROQ's listeners are Latinos, yet the station won't play Spanish music because it's in another language. At the same time, though, they'll play Rammstein, who sing in German, which proves my theory that KROQ is run by Nazis." (GA)

"I'd like to see us get to a better place in politics where the word Swiftboating is retired from the political vocabulary."
–Sen John Kerry (D., Mass.) in a statement today endorsing Pennsylvania Sen. Arlen Specter over Rep. Joe Sestak in the May 18 Senate Democratic primary. Sestak has accused Specter of using "Swift Boat" style attacks in a television ad critical of his U.S. Navy record. Kerry, declined to comment on the attack itself, saying it was up to the candidates and the media to address the issue.

Water: Marine Debris
Prevention, Control, and Reduction: Vessel Waste
Relevant Links
Find out more about dealing with solid waste on vessels.
Vessel Waste
Vessels of all sizes can be sources of marine debris. Fishing vessels can be sources of fishing nets, lines, lures, rope, bait boxes, and light sticks. Recreational boats, military and other government vessels, cargo ships, cruise ships, ferries, and charter boats can be sources of galley waste, trash, plastic bags, and other materials. All of these materials can accidentally fall, blow, or wash off the vessels into the water and become marine debris. In some cases, trash and other objects are deliberately thrown overboard because there is limited storage space on board the vessels. Preventing items from going overboard and managing waste on vessels can reduce the amount of ship-generated marine debris.
Best management practices at sea and in port can prevent most deliberate or accidental loss of items overboard. At sea, best management practices can include securing and containing equipment, cargo, and waste. Another option is to reduce the amount of waste generated by reusing some items and choosing other items with less packaging to bring onboard. In port, providing waste infrastructure and reception facilities can encourage vessels to bring at sea waste back to shore for proper disposal and discourage dumping at sea. Of course, once back on land, this waste needs to be properly managed to ensure it does not become a land-based source of marine debris.
Several domestic laws regulate what materials can be disposed into a water body. These laws are intended to control the release of materials into the ocean.
What Can You Do?
There are many things you can do at sea to prevent marine debris, whether you are an occasional recreational boater or a professional mariner. Learn more on the What You Can Do At Sea page.
The Act to Prevent Pollution from Ships (PDF) (16 pp, 143K, About PDF) (APPS; 33 U.S.C. § 1901 et seq.), which was amended by the Marine Plastic Pollution Research and Control Act (33 U.S.C. § 1914) of 1987, implements the provisions of Annex V of the International Convention for the Prevention of Pollution from Ships (MARPOL), relating to garbage and plastics. APPS applies to all U.S. flagged ships anywhere in the world. APPS also pertains to all foreign flagged vessels while they operate in the navigable waters or exclusive economic zone of the United States or while they are at a port or terminal under the jurisdiction of the United States. APPS and its implementing regulations prohibit the discharge of all garbage within three miles of shore; certain types of garbage from 3-25 miles offshore; and plastic anywhere. Vessels are also required to record each discharge or incineration of garbage in a Garbage Record Book.
The Marine Protection, Research, and Sanctuaries Act of 1972 (PDF) (68 pp, 339K, About PDF) (MPRSA, 33 U.S.C. § 1401 et seq.), also called the Ocean Dumping Act, prohibits (1) the transportation of any material from the United States for the purpose of disposal in ocean waters without a permit; (2) the transportation of any material by U.S. agencies or by U.S. flagged vessels or aircraft for the purpose of disposal in ocean waters without a permit; and (3) any person from dumping, without a permit, any material transported from a location outside the United States into the U.S. territorial seas or into the contiguous zone, to the extent it may affect the territorial seas or the territory of the United States.

With Several Back, Trojans' Boys' Track has High Hopes for 2014
Posted By Sports On March 19, 2014 @ 5:59 am In Today's Local Sports | Comments Disabled
Pleasantville head boys' track and field coach, Gabe Bakker, is dealing with increased numbers in the program this season. They didn't have to part with many seniors off of last year's squad, which allows the Trojans' coaches to expand their horizons when they try to fill the various events each track meet brings. Coach Bakker says they even welcomed in a few seniors that hadn't been out in the past. Pleasantville will open up the season outdoors on April 8 in a meet at PCM.

PAWTUCKET—Few teams in Division II have shown the ability to match the North Kingstown football team score for score this season but Sunday at Pariseau Field St. Raphael was more than up to the task.
After a relatively low-scoring first half the two teams combined for 48 points in the third quarter as the Sainted marched away with a 54-34 victory.
"You've got a lot of real good athletes on the field. They've got a lot of real good athletes and we've got real good athletes and it was an explosion of real good football for a while," NK coach Joe Gilmartin said. "They just played better football than we did."
"…The reality is they controlled tempo. They were able to play offense at their tempo and we were not able to play offense at our tempo. Some of the points that we had we scored so fast that we still weren't able to wear them down and really create the rhythm of offense that we want to create."
Early on there were no indications of the offensive explosion that occurred Sunday as – despite both teams getting their fair share of chances – Saints only led 7-0 after the first quarter.
St. Raphael tacked on a second touchdown with seven minutes left in the second quarter but the Skippers responded as a 58-yard pass from Matt Deignan to Jacob Porter set up one-yard touchdown run from Deignan two plays later.
Neither team scored on their remaining possessions in the second quarter to make the score 14-6 heading into halftime.
Then – take a deep breath – the game dove into the depths of the bizarre.
On the first play from scrimmage St. Rays Josh Alves broke free for a 55-yard run and two plays later James Kelly ran it in from two yards out.
Nick Chevalier fumbled on NK's first play from scrimmage but three plays into Saints ensuing drive he picked up an Emmanuel Leak fumble off a strip sack from Jake Mota and returned it 28 yards for a touchdown.
St. Rays didn't waste any time though as Leak made amends by rumbling 43 yards on a quarterback keeper for a touchdown on the Saints first play from scrimmage.
North Kingstown punched back, as Tristan Loghlin took the ensuing kickoff back 80 yards to the house for a score.
St. Rays answered, as Leak found Kelly on a go route down the right sideline on the second play of the Saints' ensuing drive for a 62-yard touchdown catch.
All of this took just five minutes of actual game – 35 points mind you – and it didn't stop there.
Scott Deering fumbled on North's first snap to give the ball back to St. Rays but this time the Saints answered with a long scoring drive – at least as far as this game's standards go; six plays and 54 yards in three minutes capped off with a Leak 17-yard run.
Surely with just three minutes to play in the quarter that would be it for scoring in the third but a little over 90 seconds later a 31-yard pass from Deignan to the end zone was tipped by Porter but then secured by Trevor Huntington in the back of the end zone to make it 41-27 St. Rays with 1:27 left.
Even with all the lunacy of the third quarter North Kingstown still had a shot in Saturday's game as the Skippers stopped the Saints on their opening drive of the fourth to take over at their own six-yard line.
North picked up a couple of first downs but its drive stalled when it failed to convert a fourth-and-10 at its own 35 and six plays later Kelly scored from three yards out to make it a three-score game with five minutes to play.
The Skippers continued to fight with Deignan scoring 10 seconds later on a 60-yard TD run but with NK incapable of stopping St. Rays the home team marched down field to seal North's fate with another touchdown.
"We didn't play very good defense. We didn't play very good offense at times and we turned the ball over a lot," Gilmartin said.
"…We had poor execution on two plays that we ended up fumbling the football on and that's inexcusable. We didn't play a very good football game today."
The loss puts the Skippers in quite the predicament as there is the potential for five teams to be tied atop the Division II-B standings at 5-2 in league play if NK, Saints and Rogers can each beat teams with losing records Friday night.
If so, NK's playoff fate would hinge on what happens between West Warwick and Cumberland as the tiebreaker to determine the division leader would be defensive points allowed if the Wizards win.
If West Warwick wins and allows fewer than 20 points
1. West Warwick (fewest points allowed)
2. Cumberland (2-1 pool play, defeated Rogers)
3. Rogers (defeated St. Raphael and North Kingstown
4. St. Raphael (defeated North Kingstown)
5. North Kingstown
If West Warwick wins and allows more than 20 points)
1. Rogers (fewest points allowed)
2. St. Raphael (2-1 pool play, defeated North Kingstown)
3. North Kingstown (defeated West Warwick and Cumberland)
4. West Warwick (defeated Cumberland)
5. Cumberland
If West Warwick loses
1. Cumberland (best record)
2. Rogers (defeated St. Raphael and North Kingstown)
3. St. Raphael (defeated North Kingstown)
4. North Kingstown (5-2)
5. West Warwick (4-3)
*Scenarios apply only if North Kingstown,
Rogers and St. Raphael win games Friday
against teams with losing records

MLB pitchers might try safety hat liners next year
NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — Big league pitchers could experiment with protective hat liners next season, hoping they can absorb the shock of batted balls such as the ones that struck Brandon McCarthy and Doug Fister in the head.
Major League Baseball medical director Dr. Gary Green presented ideas to executives, physicians and trainers at the winter meetings this week. Among the prototypes being studied is headgear made of Kevlar, the high-impact material used by the military and law enforcement and NFL players for body armor.

STATEWIDE -- Alaskans can drop off old or unused medications for free disposal on Saturday during events planned in nearly three dozen communities around the state.
The event is part of a nationwide effort coordinated by the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration. According to a news release, the idea behind the event is to prevent the abuse or theft of pills, accidental poisonings and environmental damage to waterways.
The state health department says painkillers were the second-leading cause of accidental poisoning in Alaska children under age 6 last year.
Disposal events are held twice a year. At an event in April, Alaskans turned in more than a ton of prescription medication.
Sponsors of the event are the DEA, Alaska State Troopers and Alaska Safe Medicine Alliance.

Will it bruising only be at the smart lipo tool incision site, or will it be more widespread?
How Significant Will the Bruising Be in my Abdominal Region After a Smart Lipo Procedure?
Doctor Answers 1
Bruising Be in my Abdominal Region After a Smart Lipo Procedure?
Let's for a minute put aside the question of "Is SmartLipo WORTH having?" in your case (as opposed to VASER liposuction, Tummy Tuck etc).
In a SmartLipo procedure a VERY hot laser fiber is passes back and forth through the fat, cooking it, the vessels and the nerves with heat delivered to the overlying skin in an attempt to shrink (or cook) it. The heat burns the blood vessels it touches. As a result, there should NOT be significant bleeding here.
On the other hand - despite being on the market for OVER 5 years there are NO scgientific articles that prooved that SmartLipo is better than ANY other liposuction methods in treating the fat or shrinking skin.

Vietnam veteran comes full circle as drug abuse counselor
December 29, 2009
North Bend resident Robert Cleveland takes his job at Echo Glen Children's Center, a youth correctional facility in Snoqualmie that is part of the Issaquah School District, very seriously.
As a substance and chemical abuse counselor, he helps youths overcome addiction with the hope that recovery will keep them out of trouble down the road.
Cleveland said he became addicted to drugs and alcohol during his tour in Vietnam, using them to soften the horrors of war. After retuning to America in handcuffs, his darkest days led him to homelessness and a heroin-induced coma before he finally cleaned up for good, he said.
He takes his job seriously, he said, because he is no stranger to addiction and troubles. Or to recovery. Read more

Would-be copper thief disrupts cable service for Issaquah customers
December 29, 2009
UPDATED — 4:50 p.m. Dec. 29, 2009
Vandalism caused cable outages Saturday and Monday for about 6,000 Broadstripe customers, including Issaquah Highlands and Providence Point residents.
Customers experienced outages from 4:15 p.m. Monday to 12:30 a.m. Tuesday, and from 7 a.m. to 5:15 p.m. Saturday after a vandal damaged a utility conduit near Duvall — and then vandalized temporary repairs.
Broadstripe General Manager David Irons said alarms alerted the cable provider to the initial outage. A vandal cut into a large fiber optic cable near state Route 203 and Fay Road Northeast, just outside Duvall.

|Intraoperative blood transfusion of one or two units of packed red blood cells is associated with a fivefold risk of stroke in patients undergoing elective carotid endarterectomy.
MedLine Citation:
|PMID: 23336856 Owner: NLM Status: In-Data-Review
|OBJECTIVE: Transfused blood can disrupt the coagulation cascade. We postulated that packed red blood cell (PRBC) transfusion may be associated with thromboembolic phenomena. We used propensity matching to examine the relationship between intraoperative PRBC transfusion and stroke during carotid endarterectomy (CEA).
METHODS: We selected CEA procedures from the American College of Surgeons National Surgical Quality Improvement Program database from 2005-2009. We excluded bilateral, redo, and emergent procedures. We used multivariate logistic regression to identify independent risk factors for stroke. We then calculated a transfusion propensity score to match patients who received one or two units of transfused PRBC intraoperatively with patients of similar risk profiles who had not been transfused.
RESULTS: Our criteria resulted in 12,786 elective CEA patients. Of these, 82 (0.6%) received a one- to two-unit intraoperative transfusion. Thirty-day stroke rates were 1.4% (179/12,704) in the nontransfused group and 6.1% (5/82) in the transfused group (Fisher exact test, P = .007). In forward stepwise multivariable regression of risk factors, only hemiplegia, stroke history, and transient ischemic attacks were predictive of 30-day stroke. We used these same variables to calculate transfusion propensity. We matched 80 transfused patients with 160 controls, thus, creating two groups with very similar risk profiles differing only by their transfusion status. In the matched groups, there was a fivefold increase in the risk of stroke in transfused patients (Fisher exact test, P = .043)
CONCLUSIONS: Intraoperative transfusion of one to two units of PRBCs is associated with a fivefold increase in stroke risk. This holds true after consideration of stroke risk variables and operative duration as a surrogate for technical difficulty. The increased risk may be related to several effects of transfused blood on the coagulation inflammation cascade.

Hey Adam,
Wow, exciting prospect! One of the best cross-country routes is the 3500km Savannah Way (http://www.savannahway.com.au/) from Broome in Western Australia to Cairns in northern Queensland. This is best tackled between May and October when conditions are drier and roads more reliable. While you could feasibly drive this within a week or less, I would recommend allowing 15-20 days and stopping off along the way (there are an amazing four World Heritage to drop in at). While much of the Savannah Way is on sealed roads there are also a few sections requiring four-wheel drive – check out http://www.exploroz.com/TrekNotes/TopEnd/Savannah_Way.aspx for more info.
Petrol is relatively cheap, at least compared with the UK, though it has been going up in recent years. You can expect to pay up to $1.70 (£1) a litre for unleaded and $1.60 for diesel. I would budget around $650 (£390) for fuel.

It also depends on how you want to travel ie in a van,4×4 or car. Now my girlfriend and myself drive from Perth to Darwin in 23 days and we hired a van from wicked which is probably the cheapest company to hire from but we would fill up the tank with petrol it would cost us around $50 – $60 and we would only get around 330 kilometres with that which also means because the road houses and town can be so far from each other we would have to miss certain things but at the moment im driving a Nissan patrol 3l turbo diesel automatic which has two tanks it will cost around $130 to fill up but you also get around 800 Ks to the tanks maybe a little bit more. So I would think about getting a car with more Ks to the gallon than a small van only because there are alot if things to see and do from west to north and north to east. But if your gonna drive from Queensland to the south you will only need a van as this is the populated area of Australia I hope this helps

I did it a few years ago and the best thing is to take as much or as little time as you want! I only went from Cairns, up to Kurrumba and back down to Mount Isa, across the Barkley Tablelands up to Darwin and Kakadu and across to Broome and back again. We took our time and saw so much, make sure to stay at free camping sites as well because you honestly see so much and it helps the budget. Fuel wise though, It was that long ago that I don't remember prices, but we took a 4×4 and in some places you may need one depending on how far bush you want to go. A tip is to make sure you have extra fuel in the car, because between some places, for example the Barkley Tablelands, you may not see the nest fuel station for 700km or so. Fuel prices at the moment have been pretty high, unleaded just the other day was almost $1.70 and diesel was surprisingly cheaper! I really recommend driving though, you see so much!

If you are a kid of the new generation then you have arrived on the perfect place,
here you will find the environment to be yourself without hiding. Having your intuitive and spiritual abilities may be complicated to run a business in a world possessed by the old generations.
We are indigo children too and we have learned how to deal with the energy around us to maintain our true self growing. We also are aware that there are many of us struggling to find the way to express themselves and be successful in business because it is not an easy thing to do.
Here you will find the recommendations to grow your business, you will be inspired and motivated from others, you will learn how to let your creativity flow toward your goals but more important you will gain more confidence in yourself to stand up for your ideas. Then you can become the entrepreneur of this new century that we all need.
With the right advice and a good plan you are capable of anything you want to achieve and for that are we here to guide you, to motivate you and to help you be the best version of yourself.
It is important to consider that the future generation, maybe our own kids, will be more sensitive than we are so they will need our help to adapt to this world.
They will need our help to accept their abilities and bring them to make a positive impact in the world. If you want to see change in the world you know that the change must begin within you first.
Every young entrepreneur can learn
about what it takes about managing or owning a small business. The
often overlooked resource is located directly within their own homes.
The family offers a supportive network and may also act as guidance
to the struggling or curious youth. The benefit is further enhanced
when one of the parents happens to be a successful entrepreneur
It is extremely crucial that the
parents participate in the growth of the small business. Often
children/young adults are too young to take on the full
responsibility of owning a business all by themselves. The parent
will act as a business advisor and a supporter or business advisor
whenever their advice is needed.
of the following tips may be useful for developing a supportive
guidance system to help your young entrepreneur.
Before anyone can get involved with
creating a business they have to determine what their interests are.
Their interests will often indicate what kind of business they should
start and promote. When deciding which interest to turn into a
business idea, they also need to consider the demand for the service
or product. There's no point in going through all the difficult work
to create a business only to discover there is no demand. This is a
recipe for disaster. With the guidance of an adult, the youngster
may be able to go door to door and determine the neighborhoods
For Example: The child may find that a
reliable and affordable landscaper is in great demand. They may want
to start a landscaping business for the dry months, and a snow
shoveling business during the winter. When surveying with your
youth, you may find that most of the adults are busy and have a
desire to delegate most household tasks off to someone else. The
potential for getting your child's foot in the door will most likely
be successful. If the population of your neighborhood seems to tip
towards younger ages, take into consideration they tend to have no
problems spending money on novelty items.
After you've
compiled the results of the survey, it's time to take a magnifying
glass to the results. As you go through the survey and determine the
desire of your customer base, remove any business ideas that would
gravitate towards advanced skills your child may not have at the
moment. What we mean by this is to trash any idea that is overly
technical and could be age in-appropriate (Painting, Auto Mechanic,
etc.). This would also be a useful lesson in teaching how to start a
business with a minimal equipment/investment list.
Are you an aspiring businessperson? Are you planning to enter the business world with a dream to make a change? Whether it is you yourself or your child being described, it doesn't matter. Whatever age you are in, there are no more limits when it comes to starting a business. You only need ideas and resources to start one.
In this new generation, nearly everything is possible. Everything being done by adults can also be done by kids nowadays. Starting and growing a business is no exception. With special thanks to the ever-reliable Internet, almost everything that you need to know can be found there. With it, every resource to learn any skillset can be found with just a click of a button. But be careful, not everything that you find in the Internet is reliable. Just make sure you find the right site for the right resource that you are looking for, meaning a qualified site, and everything will just follow. For young aspiring entrepreneurs, a few business tips are recommended:
Be a social media consultant: Presumably you are up-to-date with the ever-evolving technology at this age in time, then you obviously have a leverage compared to adults when it comes to the Internet, your knowledge with regards to the World Wide Web is an advantage and you could put that knowledge into good use with knowhow with social networking, search engines, and blogging. Some businesses would pay good money for those social media experts to promote their business thru the Internet. Some kids are even making good money as we speak right now.
Be an etsy retailer: If you're into DIY (do-it-yourself) stuff and selling it, you can use the Internet to promote it online. As there is already a community to cater such stuff, it won't be as difficult as it seems to find customers online. And as you can just do it in the comfort of your home and using some old stuff, starting this kind of business is no sweat. You only need to have a creative mind.
Be a babysitter: One business tip that has already been going on in the past is being a babysitter. Long before the Internet, this business gig has been one of the most famous for younglings everywhere in the world. Now, with the use of the Internet, you can promote yourself through social media to further expand your "clients."
Be a computer tutor: Growing up in the computer age, it is more likely that you have lots of knowledge regarding computers, which include troubleshooting, organizing, and using any browser. This knowhow is pretty significant in this modern period, but in all honesty, not everyone has the knowledge to do so. So being that you have the advantage, don't give it up for free. Make it a business and earn from it.
As you build up your reputation with any one of these business ideas mentioned above, it would further make you known and in return could provide you more and more clients and maybe, just maybe, could consider upgrading that start-up business of yours into the next level. Since everything you need is just a click away, there is nothing to stop you from starting up your own business.

If you are looking for any commercial tools, please have a look at Symantec website.
They offer the Incident Manger product which can correlate events from
several security tools such firewalls, antiviruses or IDSes and after
that it creates incidents which meet defined criteria. This product allows
to create own patterns of attacks. Additionally, you need event
collectors to collect events from 3rd part products such a Snort or
RealSecure. Of course, you can collect events from not yet
supported tools. For example: using Symantec HIDS you can collect logs from
Honeyd or Squid. The other possibility is to use the Syslog collector,
but then you have to write roles to transform logs to a normalized form.
I have to mention that after normalization all events are saved in a DB2
database. The DB2 database is the component of Symantec Enterprise
Security Architecture. The Incident Manager takes events from that
database and looks for patterns of attacks.
Below I am putting an example of simple pattern of attack. When three types of
normalized events happen and the destination IP address is the
same for three of them, the Incident Manager will generate an incident.
(First event comes from firewall or ids, second and third ones come from the
host-based ids or the syslog event collector)
Best regards,
Mariusz Burdach

Hello.. Thank you all for your responses to my Entercept email, they have
all been fantastic!
I am also looking to find out if there are any commercial Log Correlation
packages available? I'm looking for something that can correlate Firewall
+ IDS + HIDS type of logs and create a logical flow of events..
Can anyone recommend, or point me in the right direction?
Test your IDS
Is your IDS deployed correctly?

Whisky Live Glasgow
This blog is currently descending into whisky obsession and to cap that out this weekend I'm off to Glasgow to go to Whisky Live 2010. To add to the joy of my day of whisky related shenanigans I'll be doing some live coverage via Twitter and Richard Paterson's blog (as he and Whyte and Mackay are blagging me in with a freebie ticket). You can see what me, Scott Spolverino from In With Bacchus, Matthew Smedley from The Whisky Review and Blair Bowman of The Aberdeen University Malt Whisky Society are saying up on the Master Blender website or over on twitter through the #whiskylive tag.
In the meantime I'm in the first class car of a Virgin train, punishing their wifi and contemplating some overpriced breakfast. The things I'll do for a dram…

How The Electoral College Works
An integral facet of American Democracy, the Electoral College is a unique and often controversial system of selecting the President. Here's a short history that explains it in clear terms.
The system for electing the President of the United States has, since the formation of the Republic and its government, been a controversial and thorny issue. Even during the Constitutional Convention, founder James Wilson of Pennsylvania commented that the issue of selecting the President: "This subject has greatly divided the house, and will also divide people out of doors. It is, in truth, the most difficult of all on which we have had to decide." on September 4, 1787. 1 Eventually, it was decided that the Electoral College would provide a crucial role in choosing the "chief", an institution that survives largely unchanged to the present day. In spite of its longevity, it has come under siege from commentators, politicians and voters alike for its many anachronisms, flaws and sometimes undemocratic nature.
The Initial Debates
The Electoral College has barely been modified since its initial presentation to the Constitutional Convention in 1787. Briefly explained, the Electoral College is a body of voters within each state that is entrusted to one vote. More broadly, the number of electors to which each state is entitled is based on the number of Senators and seats that state occupies in the House of Representatives. These electors then elect the President of the United States2. The winner of the popular vote in that particular state takes all of the Electoral College votes on offer. For example, if a presidential candidate wins the popular vote in California which currently holds 55 Electoral College votes, he or she will receive 55 Electoral College votes – the winner takes "all". A candidate at present needs 270 or more votes to win the presidency. Therefore the president is voted for indirectly rather than directly by the electorate.3 It is illustrated in detail by a Supreme Court decision in 1890 that further defined the role of the Electors in the College:
"The sole function of the presidential electors is to cast, certify and transmit the vote of the State for President and Vice President of the nation…their votes will be counted in Congress; has provided for the filling by each State, in such a manner as its legislature may provide…has regulated the manner of certifying and transmitting their votes to the seat of the national government."
The Electoral College was a initially compromise; ensuring that densely populated states would not dominate the outcome of the vote and make certain (near) equal representation for smaller states, a major concern at the time which revolved around preserving federalism. Advanced by James Wilson and approved by prominent founders such as James Madison and Gouverneur Morris, the plan originally deigned electors to be chosen by state districts or by Congress itself, but eventually yielded to a program of state legislatures appointing a number of electors based on the amount of Senate and House of Representatives seats. This act is enshrined in Article II, Section 1 of the Constitution. It did not provide however that the President and Vice President that were to be elected be of the same party, but was corrected after the passing of the Twelfth Amendment to the Constitution in 1804 (it was also modified again in 1961 with the ratification of the Twenty-third Amendment.). There are anomalies and inconsistencies in this system however. In Maine and Nebraska, the Electoral College votes are not strictly allocated by the "winner takes all" system. Instead, they can be split between at-large electors and minor electors. These minor electors vote for the candidate who has a majority in each of the congressional districts and more closely resembles the distribution of the popular vote.8 If the Electoral College cannot produce a majority, the House determines the winner of the President by a "one vote per state bloc" ballot with the Senate voting in the Vice President similarly. Although fundamentally complex and rigidly defined by the Constitution and through judiciary alike, the Electoral College is consistently derided for its flaws and inherent undemocratic nature.

OmniFocus Utility Applescripts
I've been having lots of fun polishing some existing scripts and working on some new OmniFocus Applescripts. Time to do a bit more sharing.
Later.scpt, which allows you to batch-defer selected tasks by a given amount of time/ to a given date and time, has been updated with the ability to specify specific dates and times in a number of new syntaxes, an escape to temporarily change the due/ start date preference, and some general code improvements.
Paraquential.scpt is a very small script that switches the current group/ project between sequential and parallel ordering.
Name Replace.scpt is a find-and-replace tool for OmniFocus task/ project names. You define the replacement pair using the following syntax:
currentString > replacementString. You can also specify how many of the replacements you want to do using "
* numberOfReplacements"; for example, appending "
* 2" will replace only the first two instances of the replacement pair. You can also do multiple find-and-replace actions simultaneously by separating each with "
//". All of these syntax items can be changed in the script file.
All of these are available on the Projects page — I'm learning how to use git and Github so I will (hopefully) soon be able to put these in a more appropriate spot.
