Photo: Gators LB Lerentee McCray (No. 34) is potential replacement for Ronald Powell at "buck" position.
GAINESVILLE, Fla. -- The day before the Orange & Blue Debut spring game, Gators coach Will Muschamp was asked what he wanted to see most in Florida's final outing of spring camp.
"Stay healthy'' was his response.
The Gators accomplished that for the most part on Saturday, but the one player they lost to an injury is an important one: junior defensive end/linebacker Ronald Powell.
Powell suffered a torn ACL in his left knee and is expected to be out four to six months.
"If there is anybody who can get back from this and help us in the fall it's him,'' Muschamp said Wednesday morning as he continued his evaluation of spring camp. "The guy has worked extremely hard."
While Powell's absence opens a big hole on the defensive front, Muschamp is confident the Gators have enough depth to find production from other players.
While linebacker Lerentee McCray did not participate due to a shoulder injury, Muschamp expects him to be cleared to return to full-contact drills by mid-June and help offset Powell's loss from the lineup.
"Lerentee has played the "buck" position before, so he is obviously the next guy,'' Muschamp said. "And we will have to rely on some younger players coming along."
With McCray likely to move up front, that opens a starting spot at linebacker alongside returning starters Jon Bostic and Jelani Jenkins that could be filled Mike Taylor or true freshman Antonio Morrison. Another player expected in the mix for playing time is Neiron Ball, who has not played since 2010 but is physical and athletic enough to play perhaps at buck or linebacker.
Regardless of how the situation plays out, Muschamp likes the talent he has to work with at linebacker if McCray moves up front full-time to replace Powell.
"Jelani and John both did a nice job,'' Muschamp said. "Mike Taylor and Antonio Morrison did some good things. I feel good about that position."
Meanwhile, junior defensive tackle Dominique Easley continues to rehab from a torn ACL he suffered in the Florida State game. Easley did not participate in spring camp but Muschamp said he is "really progressing well" and should be cleared around June 1 for regular drills.
Two other returning starters on defense to miss time in spring – safety Matt Elam (groin) and cornerback Marcus Roberson (neck) – should be full-go by the time fall camp starts according to Muschamp.
Reserve defensive tackle Nick Alajajian, who moved from offensive line this spring, underwent successful surgery on his right wrist on Tuesday. Alajajian is expected to wear a cast for six weeks and be fully recovered when fall camp starts in August.

Probe of Chinese stocks menacing
Authorities in China have arrested, harassed or investigated researchers looking into possible fraud by Chinese companies traded on American stock exchanges, the Tribune-Review has learned.
Two major American promoters of Chinese stock -- New York Global Group and Global Hunter Securities -- say the Chinese Ministry of State Security has arrested investigators that U.S. firms hired to verify information about companies in the People's Republic of China. The fate of those arrested is unknown.
Their allegations about law enforcement actions toward researchers are supported by at least one Chinese mining company, Silvercorp Metals Inc., which reported that U.S.-led researchers have questioned its accounting books.
Two American hedge funds, Absaroka Capital Management LLC and EOS Holdings LLC, also reported their researchers in China were arrested and/or threatened with death by thugs, police or both. The status of the Absaroka researchers is uncertain; three EOS workers were arrested and detained for five days. Though all three were released, two of them are under government-imposed travel restrictions.
New York Global, headed by controversial Chinese-American financier Benjamin Wey, said in a statement posted on its website in May that Chinese authorities arrested "several individuals who had been paid by identified short-seller hedge funds to supply fabricated data" on Chinese firms. By borrowing shares to sell, short sellers profit as a company's share prices decline.
New York Global said the much-feared Ministry of State Security "uncovered extensive evidence of collusion" among short-selling American hedge funds that intend to harm Chinese companies.
If China's security ministry is involved, "that's a big deal," Ethan Gutmann, an official with the Foundation for Defense of Democracies and formerly with the Brookings Institution, told the Trib. It would point to a decision made at a high level, he said.
Wey, a naturalized American citizen, is deputy director of the China Mergers & Acquisitions Association, a group of leading Chinese business, financial, accounting and legal officials, some with ties to China's communist party leaders.
In confirming arrests are being made for espionage, Global Hunter said the actions by Chinese officials could mute efforts to find problems with the operations of Chinese companies, or even reverse criticism of Chinese firms in the West.
Rui Feng, chairman of Silvercorp Metals, said last fall that researchers for Americans maligned his company. The company said it "has been advised that Chinese law enforcement agents have opened a criminal case to investigate and find the creators of false and fraudulent reports."
Silvercorp sued several hedge funds and individuals in New York Supreme Court for libel.
More than a 'little' problem
One defendant is Las Vegas-based hedge fund EOS, run by Jon Carnes. He and others have written about Chinese stocks in a blog under the pseudonym "Alfred Little."
In the Silvercorp suit, "Alfred Little" argued that it wanted to keep its authors' names secret because its investigators were run off roads, kidnapped and threatened with death in China. Carnes, whose identity surfaced, told the Trib that Chinese authorities still threaten two of his investigators.
In a web posting, Wey said Carnes, his wife and "several others are currently fugitives in China."
Zhoa Junwen, a lawyer for hedge fund Absaroka Capital, said in a court affidavit that he received threatening phone calls after trying to examine the company's Chinese records. He said he was told to stop his investigation or face unstated consequences.
Chinese officials have had previous differences with Nasdaq.
Five years ago, the security ministry detained Lawrence Pan, Nasdaq's chief representative in China. A 2007 U.S. embassy cable from Beijing to Washington, released by Wikileaks, said the Chinese released Pan -- an American citizen -- only after he apparently promised to restrict media access on the New York floor of the Nasdaq exchange to Falun Gong-operated New Tang Dynasty News network. Later that year, the network was evicted from the Nasdaq floor.
Higher callings?
The intervention of the Ministry of State Security, as reported by Wey and Global Hunter, isn't the only sign that China's central government likely is behind the arrests.
Another event that raised experts' eyebrows was widespread publicity in China about a letter that an economic official from the northeast Chinese province of Liaoning sent to the Obama administration in January.
Liaoning official Chengfan Shan wrote to U.S. Commerce Secretary John Bryson and U.S. Trade Representative Ron Kirk, condemning Nasdaq and asking the Obama administration to "investigate, condemn and curtail any discriminatory activities that are harming Chinese companies."
Nasdaq delisted several Liaoning companies, including Rino International Inc. and A-Power Energy Generation Systems Ltd., that were hit by investor fraud suits.
Shan's letter drew special attention to Liaoning-based CleanTech Innovations Inc., a company represented by Wey.
The communist People's Daily, the Beijing-based mouthpiece of the Chinese Communist Party, the Chinese government national news service Xinhua and several other Chinese publications quickly publicized Shan's letter. The People's Daily and Xinhua published the stories in Chinese and English, a sign the government assigned importance to the matter, experts say.
Derek Scissor, senior research fellow at The Heritage Foundation in Washington, told the Trib that provincial officials in China can be aggressive in defending their turf but the publicity Shan's letter received indicates it had higher approval.
Others agreed.
"I am not sure Shan could write to such figures (as U.S. Cabinet secretaries) of his own accord, without the backing of a higher-level institution or figure," said Flora Sapio, a legal scholar at the Chinese University of Hong Kong.
As further evidence that Shan's letter carried high Chinese authority, Sapio noted that after Shan sent the letters, he was promoted to deputy director of the Liaoning Office of Justice and director of the province's Prison Administration Bureau.
Speaking from London, Gutmann said Shan's new position takes him to a top spot in a troubled prison system that is of central interest to those in power. China's prison system has a reputation for mistreating political prisoners.

For a quick, healthy and filling dinner last week, I made some minor adjustments to a Martha Stewart recipe I found. I usually roast them–which is delicious–but I was in the mood to try something new.
Lemon Shredded Brussels Sprouts and Quinoa
- 1 lb. brussels sprouts, shredded (thinly slice by hand, or food processor)
- 1/2 red bell pepper, sliced
- EVOO (Misto)
- 1 T. lemon juice
- 1/2 t. onion powder
- 1/2 t. ground black pepper
- salt to taste
- 1 c. cooked quinoa (2 servings)
With a bit of EVOO, sauté the brussels sprouts, bell pepper, onion powder, pepper and salt until the brussels sprouts turn a bright green and are "crisp-tender" (about 10 minutes over med/high heat).
Remove from heat, add lemon juice and quinoa, and stir together. Makes 2 big dinner servings.
MIWFY: This is a vegan recipe and does not contain gluten.
A few side notes about quinoa (source):
- Although treated as one, quinoa is not a grain. It is part of the spinach, swiss chard and beet family.
- Nutrient dense and gluten-free
- A complete protein source
- Higher in heart-healthy fats than other grains
- Anti-inflammatory properties
- Good source of calcium, folate, copper and phosphorus
- Good source of concentrated antioxidant phytonutrients
What I love best about quinoa is that it's so easy to prepare! It take no more than 15 minutes, start to finish.
Basic Preparation of Quinoa
- Combine 1 part quinoa to 2 parts water/broth in a saucepan
- Bring to a boil
- Reduce heat to simmer for 12-15 minutes, covered

arriving to my college.........100 years later.
criticts and comments are welcome
This is pretty cool. I think the composition could be bigger though. Show how high the buildings are and what's around it.
oh, is a compo for a magazine,, that´s the reason why i use that format.
I think the background is working really well. At the moment though the streets look a little quiet and the ship seems out of proportion. I would lay a perspective grid over the image and just have a quick look to see how far out you are. It doesn't mean you can't bend the rules, but at the moment it stands out a little. As I said thought the buildings and atmosphere are looking great.
All the best
looks cool, my only comment is that the green colour used on the incoming ship stands out a little too much compared to the colour scheme of the rest of the image...doenst seem to "fit" very well... the fg seems to slant a bit too?? otherwise great work, I dig it!
Mike Phillips
Sweet. The only crit from me is the ground underneath the ship, it's kind of simple. I think if you would add just some other elements it would be really cool.
Love it,

Civano Community School is absolutely wonderful! My child loves to go to school everyday because he is valued as an individual who learns in his own ways and time. The classrooms are mixed grade K-1, 2-3, and 4-5 which encourages a strong community! The focus is the development of the whole child, not on testing!
I LOVE Civano Community School! This school provides an excellent, meaningful school experience to students. The emphasis is not on testing and assessment -- kids are primed to learn, explore, and develop 21st century skills. Great small school staffed by excellent, caring teachers!

Daily Deals: A few award winning historicals, a PNR and a...
Against the Tide by Elizabeth Camden. $ Free at Amazon | BN
From the Jacket Copy:
After a childhood rampant with uncertainty, Lydia Pallas has carved out a perfect life for herself. She spends her days within sight of the bustling Boston Harbor, where her skill with languages has landed her an enviable position as a translator for the U.S. Navy.
Lydia's talents bring her to the attention of Alexander Banebridge, a mysterious man in need of a translator. Driven by a campaign to end the opium trade, Bane is coolly analytical and relentless in his quest. He cannot afford to fall for Lydia and must fight the bittersweet love growing between them.
When Bane's enemies gain the upper hand, he is forced to turn to Lydia for help. Determined to prove her worth, Lydia soon discovers that carrying out Bane's mission will test her wits and her courage to the very limits.
When forces conspire against them from without and within, can their love survive?
Winner of the 2013 RITA Award for Best Inspirational Romance
While many romantic suspense stories rely solely on external conflicts to bring lovers together, we learn enough about Lydia and Bane as individuals to feel the internal upheavals they inflict on each other.

Blind Faith by CJ Lyons. $ 2.99.
From the Jacket Copy:
Sarah Durandt knows the killer is dead. She watched him die from a lethal injection in the execution chamber. But Sarah finds little comfort in knowing that the deranged psychopath who murdered her husband and son will never kill again. Since he never revealed the location of their bodies, she never found a sense of closure. So now, Sarah has decided to return to her home in the Adirondacks, to search for whatever remains of her loved ones. An unmarked grave. An article of clothing.

Politics, economics and financial planning have a lot in common. When someone takes the time to internalize and thoroughly understand something that is not a sound bite or instant gratification experience, they often say, "Why doesn't everyone know this/do this?"
We all know a finite amount of information. Our knowledge falls into three categories.
• There is a certain amount of information that you know and you are aware that you know it. You know your name, for instance; there is no doubt that you know it. You might say that you are "consciously competent" of this information. ...

I'm interested in what the HA community thinks about this new Gizmodo article, or blog, about Michael Fremer, an audio reviewer from Stereophile, which clearly goes completely against the grain around here. For instance:
"We play my solid 256kbps VBR MP3 of "Heroes" off my iPod; it sounds like shit. Free of pops and crackles, yes, but completely lifeless, flat in every way. This is the detail that matters: Audiophiles are basically synesthesiacs. They "see" music in three-dimensional visual space. You close your eyes in Fremer's chair, and you can perceive a detailed 3D matrix of sound, with each element occupying its own special space in the air. It's crazy and I've never experienced anything like it." ~ Why we need audiophiles

I'm not really sure Fremer and Mahoney actually doing much damage with this piece, besides priming young iPod people to buy megabuck systems later in life. I'm not sure if I can get much bent out of shape about convincing people to go lossless, buy a decent home system, etc.
But some of the Gizmodo commenters are asking if Fremer could provide a low end recommended system. He is the absolute last person you should ask for that. It's more important than ever to maintain an objective eye with the low end, and Fremer is likely to just run off into the weeds and choose some horifically underperforming system because it provides a better match for his ears alone.
Sad to read how many commenters there thought it was a 'great article' and 'real in-depth journalism'.I'm sure it's better journalism as far as Gizmodo is concerned. Maybe someday they'll grow enough to hire people with actual journalism degrees and such.
Unlike most people who post here, I've had the *privilege* of meeting Michael Fremer in the flesh. Well sort of. This was in 2005. After a few seconds in my presence, he started loudly screaming profanities about an ABX demo that some of my friends did at an AES meeting back in the very early 1990s. His friends had to forcably restrain him and drag him out of the room.That wasn't the infamous "cable" test, was it?
There are a few stories like that about Fremer's attitude. Salvatore's exchange with him is pretty fun (although Salvatore is easily just as much of a pompous windbag as Fremer is). There's also that long-standing alleged fight between Fremer and the NYT over vinyl coverage...
My first question is who paid $350,000 for the equipment Fremer uses? It is worth that today? Is he a trust-fund baby? Does he get paid that much by Stereopihile? Or, has Fremer fanned the flames of Fremer-celebrity or possbily Fremer-fear so well that enough high end audio dealers and/or manufacters have been cowed into giving or loaning him most if not all of that equipment?No, only Steve Hoffman does that. *rimshot*
I'm no longer thinking malice on Stereophile's part in the context of loans and reviewers' pricing. I think it's plain to see that the economic status of its editors and reviewers is substantially less than the audience it is actually gearing its reviews too. Long term loans and preferred pricing are more justifiable in such a situation.
IN his 'real life' Fremer was/is a psychiatrist, and in in NYC that can pay pretty well.Fremer is a psychiatrist? That joke writes itself. Multiple times over actually. Heh.
Indeed. Fremer's pricey system didn't restore his ability to hear the LP hiss that the reporter heard.Nor does it guarentee that his LPs play back with a speed tolerance of any less than 0.6%, as I observed a few days ago with some needledrops he posted.
Next time you hear an audiophile claim that high-mass turntables do not have speed issues, pour that into their cornflakes and shove it up their ass.

With thousands of locals and supporters heading to Newtown Day at Yankee Stadium Sunday, the team and Metro North are urging as many people as possible to commute in by mass transit. To make that a bit more convenient, the railroad is offering a "Yankees Express" train from Bridgeport or Fairfield, directly to the stadium.
Metro North spokesperson Jim McCormack has provided information and a schedule showing all of the direct game trains on the Harlem and New Haven lines that are available for Newtown residents on Sunday. But the special train is the 10:37 am from Bridgeport, making stops at Fairfield Metro, and Fairfield before running express to the Yankees East 153rd Street Station, arriving a t11:53 am.
Mr McCormack said in a release that it is critical for attendees to purchase their train tickets before Sunday morning, howevber. Tickets can be purchased in advance at any station, including Danbury and Bethel, which are closest to Newtown.
He said purchasing a ten-trip ticket option will also help reduce the number of people who need to line up for tickets, and gets them a discount as well.
"Residents can purchase a ten-trip ticket from Southeast (NY station) for $121.25 and five people can travel to the game and back with that ticket, saving $21.25 compared to each of the 5 people buying their own round-trip ticket," Mr McCormack said. "It also means that 4 people don't have to line up to buy their tickets."
He said the Southeast station on the Harlem Line is a very good alternative for Newtown residents.
"There's plenty of parking, and it's probably a bit easier for Newtown residents to get to – it's a straight shot across I-84, and according to Google Maps it's a slightly quicker drive," Mr McCormack said. "Bridgeport station is convenient as well. Normally the parking garage at Bridgeport is closed on weekends , but we asked the Connecticut DOT to open it on July 7 to accommodate Newtown residents, and they have agreed to do so.
"We're looking forward to helping make this a great day for the Town," he said.
More than 3,000 tickets have been distributed throughout the community for the 1:05 pm game against the Baltimore Orioles, and the team has made discounted seats available to those who missed out on the complimentary seats the team released last month.

User's Guide
Patient safety is a critical component of health care quality. As health care organizations continually strive to improve, there is a growing recognition of the importance of establishing a culture of safety. Achieving a culture of safety requires an understanding of the values, beliefs, and norms about what is important in an organization and what attitudes and behaviors related to patient safety are expected and appropriate. A definition of safety culture is provided below.
Safety Culture Definition
The safety culture of an organization is the product of individual and group values, attitudes, perceptions, competencies, and patterns of behavior that determine the commitment to, and the style and proficiency of, an organization's health and safety management. Organizations with a positive safety culture are characterized by communications founded on mutual trust, by shared perceptions of the importance of safety, and by confidence in the efficacy of preventive measures.
Source: Organising for Safety: Third Report of the ACSNI (Advisory Committee on the Safety of Nuclear Installations) Study Group on Human Factors. Health and Safety Commission (of Great Britain). Sudbury, England: HSE Books, 1993.
Development of the Hospital Survey on Patient Safety Culture
Recognizing the need for a measurement tool to assess the culture of patient safety in health care organizations, the Medical Errors Workgroup of the Quality Interagency Coordination Task Force (QuIC) sponsored the development of a hospital survey focusing on patient safety culture. Funded by the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ), the Hospital Survey on Patient Safety Culture was developed by a private research organization under contract with AHRQ.
To develop this survey, the researchers conducted a review of the literature pertaining to safety, accidents, medical error, error reporting, safety climate and culture, and organizational climate and culture. In addition, the researchers reviewed existing published and unpublished safety culture surveys and conducted in-person and telephone interviews with hospital staff. The survey was pretested with hospital staff to ensure the items were easily understood and relevant to patient safety in a hospital setting. Finally, the survey was pilot tested with more than 1,400 hospital employees from 21 hospitals across the United States. The pilot data were analyzed, examining item statistics and the reliability and validity of the safety culture scales, as well as the factor structure of the survey through exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses. Based on the analysis of the pilot data, the survey was revised by retaining only the best items and scales. The resulting Hospital Survey on Patient Safety Culture has sound psychometric properties for the included items and scales.
The survey and its accompanying toolkit materials are designed to provide hospital officials with the basic knowledge and tools needed to conduct a safety culture assessment, along with ideas for using the data. Part One of the Hospital Survey presents issues inherent to the data collection process and the overall project organization. Part Two includes the Survey Form, followed by a separate overview of the included items, grouped according to the safety culture dimensions they are intended to measure and the reliability findings derived from the pilot data.. Appendix A summarizes the development of the pilot survey. Appendix B is a journal article on the uses of safety culture assessments and their place in the clinical treatment environment.
Who Should Complete the Survey
The Hospital Survey on Patient Safety Culture examines patient safety culture from a hospital staff perspective. The survey can be completed by all types of hospital staff—from housekeeping and security to nurses and physicians. The survey is best suited for the following, however:
- Hospital staff who have direct contact or interaction with patients (clinical staff, such as nurses, or nonclinical staff, such as unit clerks).
- Hospital staff who may not have direct contact or interaction with patients but whose work directly affects patient care (staff in units such as pharmacy, laboratory/pathology).
- Hospital-employed physicians who spend most of their work hours in the hospital (emergency department physicians, hospitalists, pathologists).
- Hospital supervisors, managers, and administrators.
Note that some physicians have privileges at hospitals but are not hospital employees and may spend the majority of their work time in nonhospital, outpatient settings. Consequently, these types of physicians may not be fully aware of the safety culture of the hospital and generally should not be asked to complete the survey. Careful consideration should be used in deciding which physicians to include or exclude from taking the survey.
Safety Culture Dimensions Measured in the Survey
The survey places an emphasis on patient safety issues and on error and event reporting. The survey measures seven unit-level aspects of safety culture:
- Supervisor/Manager Expectations & Actions Promoting Safety (4 items).
- Organizational Learning—Continuous Improvement (3 items).
- Teamwork Within Units (4 items).
- Communication Openness (3 items).
- Feedback and Communication About Error (3 items).
- Nonpunitive Response to Error (3 items).
- Staffing (4 items).
In addition, the survey measures three hospital-level aspects of safety culture:
- Hospital Management Support for Patient Safety (3 items).
- Teamwork Across Hospital Units (4 items).
- Hospital Handoffs and Transitions (4 items).
Finally, four outcome variables are included:
- Overall Perceptions of Safety (4 items).
- Frequency of Event Reporting (3 items).
- Patient Safety Grade (of the Hospital Unit) (1 item).
- Number of Events Reported (1 item).
Modifying or Customizing the Survey
The survey was developed to be general enough for use in most hospitals. You may find, however, that the survey uses terms that are different from those used in your hospital, or that your hospital's management would like to ask hospital staff additional questions about patient safety. Anticipating the need for some modification or customization of the survey, the survey form and feedback report templates are available as modifiable electronic files at the AHRQ Web site (www.ahrq.gov/professionals/quality-patient-safety/patientsafetyculture/hospital/index.html).
|We recommend making only those changes to the survey that are absolutely necessary, because changes may affect the reliability and overall validity of the survey, and may make comparisons with other hospitals difficult.
Here are some suggestions regarding modifications to the survey:
- Modifying background items. The survey begins with a background question about the respondent's primary work area or unit. The survey ends with some additional background questions about such topics as staff position, tenure in the organization, and work hours. Your hospital may wish to modify the responses to these background questions so they are tailored to reflect the names of your hospital's work units, staff position titles, and the like.
- Use of the term "unit." The survey places most of its emphasis on safety culture at the unit level, because staff will be most familiar with safety culture at this level. There also is a section that pertains to safety culture across the hospital as a whole. If you work in a smaller hospital that does not have differentiated units with multiple staff members in each unit, you may want to consider modifying some of the instructions and/or items in the survey from a focus on the "unit" to a focus on the hospital as a whole. The term "unit" also may be replaced by an equivalent term, such as "department," if it suits your hospital (just be sure to make this replacement everywhere it applies in the survey).
- Adding items. If your hospital would like to add additional items to the survey, we recommend adding these items toward the end of the survey (after "Section G: Number of Events Reported").
- Making the survey shorter or removing items. Although the survey takes only about 10 to 15 minutes to complete, your hospital may want to administer a shorter survey with fewer items. Part Two of the Hospital Survey on Patient Safety Culture includes an overview of the safety culture dimensions assessed in the survey and the reliability figures for each dimension. Delete the dimensions that your hospital is not interested in assessing (be sure to delete all of the items associated with those dimensions). In this way, your hospital's results on the remaining safety culture dimensions still can be compared to other hospitals that use the survey.
- Adapting the survey for Web-based data collection. We recommend using a paper-based survey data collection methodology to make sure you obtain the highest possible response rates. Despite the probability of lower response rates, however, your hospital may decide that it is more feasible and logistically advantageous to do data collection with a Web-based survey. Web-based surveys have a wide range of design features and can involve different data collection procedures, so please be sure to read Conducting a Web-based Survey for guidelines on how to adapt the Hospital Survey for this type of data collection.

Efficiency of Movement
A big part of staying safe and having your best result in a CrossFit workout is being efficient in your movements. Thrusters are a perfect example of this. The key is to keep that bar in the rack and jump at the top of your front squat to generate momentum and elevation on the bar so you don't wear your shoulders out. Your legs are much stronger and can go much longer than your shoulders can.

Olympic Lifting Resource
You all know how much I enjoy the Olympic Lifts. In fact, I think we should do them more than we do now! And I'm happy to say that Sage Burgener, daughter of Mike Burgener the creator of the "Burgener Warmup, has a new blog in which she discusses the Oly lifts in depth. Sage has been Oly lifting for most of her life, and she knows everything about them. An excerpt where she discusses the jerk:
Jerks can be lots of fun if you get over the whole "there's
this really heavy weight lying on my shoulders right now and I feel
extremely awkward/uncomfortable and alls I wanna do it get it off of
me, but theres this weird girl in mismatch socks screaming at me in a
screetchy voice telling me to jump it over my head" thing. Once you can do that, you'll realize that it can be the most simple olympic lifting movement.
2) the dip is what makes or breaks the rest of the movement.
you best drive that mofo up with your extremely ripped "Redwood tree
trunks" legs. (or if you're like me, your extremely ripped "toothpick
that they stick into sandwiches" legs)

Is competition good? Bad? Competition can be the thing that drives us further than we thought we could go. It can also be the thing that drives people away from CrossFit. Remember, when you begin CrossFit, you compete only with yourself. We make an honest attempt to start people slowly, so they can learn the movements, get comfortable and begin to adapt to our training. Some may think we are too conservative. But we know that the most important thing is consistency. If you stay consistent, and committed, you will have time to add intensity once you've gained some muscle memory and competence in our movements. Then you will see the big time changes! Don't let the white board scare you. It is only a tool. Remember, YOU are in charge of your intensity.
That being said, competition can be pretty fun if you are in the thick of it

How do you compare a stock that had a p/e in the hundreds to one that at best hit around 30 in the last couple of years?
Apple's P/E at its highest was 17, now it is 5.6 excluding cash, please, give us a break with a comparison to a .com era 80+ mulitple
What an idiot. Apple trades at an Enterprise Value / EBITDA multiple of below 4x and MSFT traded at greater than 40x. Where do they find these morons?
AAPL is just transitioning from a momentum stock to a value stock. A 2.6% dividend -- possibly going higher -- sets a floor on the stock. Apple just needs a new set of shareholders, like me -- longer-term investors who like value and a little income, and are not comfortable with a growth stock.
You guys are all correct in that apple has a ridiculous enterprise value to earnings multiple. the problem with your thought process is that apple's historical earnings are not replicable. Apple now has real competition in the phone and tablet space and margins are going to come way down or sales are going to take a ridiculous hit. It also doesn't help that apple now has no extra major carriers to add. I was a long term shareholder and sold my entire apple holding at just under $700 for these very reasons. At $350 i might be a buyer though.....
Apple has seen its best days for a long while now. Investors are adept at rotating out early and aaple never really achieved its true valuation. Now competition, recent lack of innovation, secrecy, growing cash pile going nowhere and their lack of desire to placate investors has turned against them.
While apple is worth MUCH more than current value suggests, investors are short term oriented and negativity is very hard to overcome. Overhead supply will now keep it down for many years uniless they do something really groundbreaking. Doubt it.
Cook lied, has caused this disaster, can't
communicate for Shi-, is arrogant, is
weak, and has totally stuck it to the
Apple shareholders, while getting filthy
rich himself. Its tine to F kick this
lame duck, pussy CEO out the F door
and now. He absolutely SUX
Ed, tell us how you really feel!
On a personal note, however, I agree with Ed.
Cook is a F Coward and a Liar. Real nice
Leadership Tim: Hide in La La land, turn
your back on Shareholders in their trying times,
hang them out to dry while they lose
their savings invested in Apple, cash
in your $100M last quarter and watch daily
the share price go south and more money
lost by Shareholders. You are a true bonifide
Coward. Your day will come soon.

With little in the way of economic data release, markets were left to ponder the Fed. QE Infinity has flooded the markets with liquidity and tripled the Feds balance sheet.
The destruction of wealth and the US Dollar, has been enormous, but enhanced the competitiveness of America. The citizens are the major casualties, but equitiy owners, have gained much. Tapering has begun but the extent is not clear. The Eurozone has not fared well in the New Year and the EUR has dropped to 1.3650 with the GBP 1.6365.
The expansion of the money supply has undermined the value of the Dollar and has enhanced the prices of commodities.
The recovery in the associated currencies has begun with the AUD storming through the big, big figure and topping 0.9050 and the KIWI moving towards 0.8400. The weakness in the reserve currency is an indication markets do not believe that Yellen will continue tapering.

Air Force installations host 'Cook It Up' events

Air Force Personnel, Services and Manpower Public Affairs
3/29/2012 -
-- Air Force installations worldwide are organizing local cooking contests to foster and instill a sense of community and promote a healthy lifestyle.
Known as 'Cook It Up', Air Force community centers are hosting food challenges to draw participants from the entire community and highlight culinary skills. The contest might include a cookie bake-off, a secret-ingredient cook-off or a "mix-it-up"-style competition where participants receive the same ingredients to make a dish.
The original Air Force community center program began in March 2009 to promote healthy eating. This annual program is offered throughout the year and may be partnered with such events as the July 4th Chili Cook-off or a Holiday Cookie challenge.
"Cook It Up contests are a fun way the Air Force community can get involved in making healthier food choices and learn what really makes a recipe healthy," said Julie Klembara, a Community Programs specialist at the Air Force Services Agency here.
Kadena Air Base, Japan and Sheppard Air Force Base, Texas are two of the bases worldwide that are "cooking it up."
Kadena Cooks It Up dorm style
The Shilling Community Center at Kadena AB, combined the Cook It Up program with the Single Airman Programming Initiative to create the mobile Dorm Chef program.
"We wanted a way to connect with (single Airmen living in the dormitories), providing them with a fun activity as well as teaching them a new skill," said Michele Bean, Schilling Community Center program manager. "Our monthly classes started small with only three to four students. Since taking it directly to the dorms, our average class is 15 to 20 single (Airmen)."
Single service members participating in the Dorm Chef program learn to cook a variety of simple foods such as homemade chicken nuggets, nachos, crock-pot pulled pork sandwiches, homemade microwave potato chips and no bake cheesecakes.
The Dorm Chef program is fun and the food is "yummy," said Airman 1st Class Tenealya Littlejohn, one of the Kadena dorm residents participating in the program.
"It was cool for Schilling to come to us right where we live to teach us how to make (quick and easy meals)," she said.
"We use this as an opportunity to not only teach them a skill, but to build a sense of community within their buildings," Bean said. "We also get a lot of great direct feedback as to what kinds of programs and services they want us to offer."
Sheppard goes grilling
The Community Center at Sheppard AFB, which had about 350 people participate in their secret-ingredient competition last year, is combining the Cook It Up program this year with their installation's bi-annual Freedom Fest on June 30.
"The contest is going to have a 'backyard BBQ with friends' feel to it," said Denice Tilley, Sheppard AFB's Community Center director. "I think something people look for when going from installation to installation is a sense of community, and I believe that is what this program is all about."
Using the installation's Freedom Fest as a venue for the contest is a natural fit, Tilley said.
"Grilling out and watching fireworks are an American pastime on the Fourth of July, and we are taking advantage of that this year," she said. "The local Wichita Falls community has been great to us in the past with sponsorship of installation events, so it's really nice that we can have on and off installation participants."
Events are implemented by the Community Center, and for installations without a Community Center, Klembara said the events can be hosted by a force support squadron activity.

- About Us
- Our Work
- Our Certification
- Our Publications
- Our Blog
- Take Action
Lisa Kivirist and John Ivanko, innkeepers, authors, conservationists.
(Below, their books.)
For the past seventeen years, we have been inspired by a passion for living our sustainability values while offering warm and welcoming farmstay hospitality. At Inn Serendipity Bed & Breakfast -- based on our farm in the rolling hills of southwestern Wisconsin -- green travel is about authenticity, farm-fresh cuisine, and renewable energy.
As you come up our driveway, you'll most likely be greeted by a wind turbine spinning, zucchini bread baking in our solar oven, and be welcomed by our twelve-year-old son, Liam. We're a family business that keeps things lean and green, celebrating our human-scaled enterprise that's focused on local abundance in its myriad forms.
What Makes Inn Serendipity Green?
Some of our green initiatives include:
• Powered completely by the wind and the sun, including a 10kW wind turbine and .7kW photovoltaic (PV) system. An off-grid system recharges an electric lawn mower – and an all-electric CitiCar. Hot water for our guest showers is heated with a solar thermal system.
• We're a "carbon negative business," sequestering more carbon dioxide annually than we emit from our business operations and our lifestyle.
• Our B&B breakfasts feature the "100 foot diet." From our organic gardens to plate, fresh produce is transformed into seasonal cuisine based on recipes found in our cookbook, Farmstead Chef. Ingredients not grown on the farm are organic, Fair Trade, or locally-produced.
• We're engaged in an on-going retrofit of a century-old farmstead using green design, sustainable building materials, and creative, frugal recycling or repurposing, including converting an old granary/corn crib into a solar-heated strawbale greenhouse.
• We use Energy Star-certified appliances, no VOC paint, a woodstove for heat, non-toxic cleaners, and organic cotton linens and towels (line-dried!).
How are we Leading Green Travel?
"Leading" means collaboration, working in partnership with kindred spirited organizations like Green America (we've been members since we started) to help collectively grow this movement. We also work with the Midwest Renewable Energy Association, Midwest Organic and Sustainable Education Service, and Renewing the Countryside. We were involved with helping start the Travel Green Wisconsin program, a green travel certification for our state. Leading also means openly sharing our journey with others to help inspire and provide resources for more people to launch their own sustainable enterprise or homestead (in the country, suburb or city).
Such educational outreach inspires our teaching and writing, such as our Farmstead Chef blog with Hobby Farms and freelance writing, such as John's piece in the Oct/Nov issue of Mother Earth News: 9 Strategies for Self-Sufficient Living. Our books include Rural Renaissance, narrating our story of moving from Chicago to our farmstead with starter resources, and ECOpreneuring, a pragmatic start-up guide for folks looking to create a livelihood around their passion for leaving this world a better place.
We're grateful for the recognition Inn Serendipity has received over the years, including:
• "Top 10 Eco-destinations in North America," by Natural Home
• 1 of 13 national ENERGY STAR Small Business Network Award recipients (U.S. EPA)
• "5 Green Stars" eco-hotel by Eco Hotels of the World
• Featured in ABC News, MSNBC, USA Today, Vegetarian Times, Conde Nast Traveler, New York Times and numerous other media.
We love what we do and are honored to be a finalist for the People & Planet Award for Green Business – thank you! But we're not done yet. If we're awarded this prize, we would further enhance our efforts to be fossil fuel free through increasing our use of electric transportation and/or further onsite production of renewable energy.
Educational events for the public occur throughout the year, including participation in the National Tour of Solar Homes and Transition Green County (with the Transition Town movement), which Kivirist and Ivanko helped start up locally.
