Based on Richard Price's grim best-seller, and directed by Spike Lee from a screenplay co-written with Price, Clockers takes the structure of a police procedural to build a chilling portrait of despair, hope, and the unanswered problem of black-on-black crime in an urban housing project. The film's haunting themes are vividly visualized during the opening credits, which run over police photos of dead young black men, shot and sprawled on sidewalks, in streets, and hanging over fences. Strike (Mekhi Phifer) is a 19-year-old African-American "clocker" -- the lowest link on the drug dealing chain -- who hangs around park benches and street corners selling small amounts of druges at all hours of the day. Strike drinks chocolate milk to soothe an ulcer and plays with model trains in his apartment, dreaming of a way out of his dead-end life. Drug kingpin Rodney (Delroy Lindo) asks Strike to kill another clocker, Darryl, for skimming money, saying that this will be Strike's ticket to a higher post in Rodney's organization. Darryl is indeed shot, and suspicion immediately falls on Strike, but a weary cop named Rocco Klein (Harvey Keitel) thinks there's more to the case. ~ Don Kaye, Rovi

Scotchbond Universal Adhesive -a whole new level of versatility
From state-of-the-art racing cars to space shuttles and satellites, adhesive technologies from 3M have generated thousands of innovative and useful products with applications in countless markets. Working in collaboration with dentists, 3M has leveraged this technology to develop a continuum of advances in dental bonding materials. 3M ESPE's latest advance, Scotchbond Universal Adhesive, offers a unique versatility designed to simplify the overall dental bonding procedure.
Until now dentists have juggled with multiple adhesive systems, sorting through numerous bottles to select the right product for an indication, whilst being cautious with technique to prevent problems such as post-operative sensitivity. With Scotchbond Universal adhesive dentists can experience true versatility, a single- bottle solution for a variety of application methods, delivering high and consistent bond strength compared with other leading adhesives.1 Combining total-etch and self-etch properties, Scotchbond Universal adhesive can be used on all surfaces, including enamel, dentine, glass ceramic, zirconia, alumina, metals and composites – without additional primer.
"This exciting new product means that dentists can streamline their entire adhesive inventory, with the potential to save time and money" explained Sophie Singh, Product Manager, 3M ESPE. "Dentists no longer need separate self-etch, total-etch, direct or indirect adhesives, Scotchbond Universal adhesive will meet all these needs and more… it even works as a silane primer."
Simple to use- apply Scotchbond Universal adhesive directly to the tooth and rub in for 20 seconds, air-dry the area for five seconds, and light cure for 10 seconds. If desired, an optional etch with phosphoric acid can be performed for 15 seconds prior to application of the adhesive
Packaged for extra convenience, the multi-dose bottle incorporates a new design flip-top lid, allowing users to open, dispense and close with one hand, whilst the nozzle has been engineered to ensure accurate one-drop dispensing. Unlike standards black opaque bottles, the Scotchbond Universal adhesive bottle is a unique translucent orange colour, allowing visual inspection of how much bond is remaining, whilst still protecting the content from light.
Sophie Singh added "Since its launch, Scotchbond Universal adhesive has been flying off the shelves, and when you consider its unique versatility and ease of use you can understand why. This development takes dental adhesives to a new level and represents 3M ESPE's commitment to bringing leading-edge technology to dentistry."
From now until 30 June 2012, for every Scotchbond Universal Adhesive Intro Kit purchased, you will receive a Scotchbond Universal Adhesive refill for free. For further information call 3M ESPE Customer Care Team on 0845 602 5094 or visit www.3MESPE.co.uk/promotions.

LETTER: Meat worries are mounting
SAN ANGELO, Texas - Stan Jensen, San Angelo
The U.S. Department of Agriculture is still expanding the list of retailers carrying meat unfit for human consumption to Alabama, Florida, Mississippi, New Mexico, Oregon, Washington, and 970 locations in California alone. About 8.7 million pounds were shipped all through 2013 by Rancho Feeding Corporation of Petaluma, Calif.
The recall comes in the wake of the USDA's new "inspection" program that allows the meat industry to increase speed of processing lines and replace federal inspectors with plant employees. According to the USDA inspector general, this has resulted in partial failure to remove fecal matter, undigested food, and other contaminants that may contain deadly E. coli and listeria bacteria.
Traditionally, the USDA has catered more to the interests and profitability of the meat industry than health and safety of American consumers.
Consumer interests come into play only when large numbers of us get sick. Having the USDA protect consumers is like asking the fox to guard the henhouse.

|Echolucent or predominantly echolucent femoral plaques predict early restenosis after eversion carotid endarterectomy.
MedLine Citation:
|PMID: 20141957 Owner: NLM Status: MEDLINE
|OBJECTIVE: Although the association between vulnerable lesions and cardiovascular events is well established, little is known about their relationship to postsurgery restenosis. To address this issue, we initiated a prospective, nonrandomized study to examine the femoral plaques on both sides in patients who were undergoing eversion carotid endarterectomy (CEA) and were longitudinally followed-up for early restenosis development.
METHODS: The final analysis enrolled 321 patients (189 women) with a median age of 67.0 years (interquartile range, 59.0-73.0 years), who underwent eversion CEA (2005 to 2007). Using duplex ultrasound scanning, we evaluated 321 common femoral atherosclerotic lesions on the day before CEA. A quantitative scale was used to grade the size of plaques as grade 1, one or more small plaques (<20 mm2); grade 2, moderate to large plaques; and grade 3, plaques giving flow disturbances. The plaque morphology in terms of echogenicity was graded as echolucent, 1; predominantly echolucent, 2; predominantly echogenic, 3; echogenic 4; or calcified, 5. The plaque surface was categorized as smooth, irregular, or ulcerated. The patients underwent carotid duplex ultrasound imaging at 6 weeks and at 6, 12, and 24 months after CEA. Mann-Whitney U test, chi2 test, and multivariate logistic regression were used for statistical evaluation.
RESULTS: Internal carotid artery restenosis of > or = 50% was detected in 33 patients (10.28%) in the operated region. Neither the size (grade 1, P = .793; grade 2, P = .540; grade 3, P = .395) nor the surface characteristics of the femoral plaques (smooth, P = .278; irregular, P = .281; ulcerated, P = .934) were significantly different between the patients with and without carotid restenosis. Echolucent-predominantly echolucent femoral lesions were an independent predictor of recurrent carotid stenosis (adjusted odds ratio, 5.63; 95% confidence interval, 2.14-10.89; P < .001).
CONCLUSION: Ultrasound evaluation of femoral plaque morphology before CEA can be useful for identifying patients at higher risk for carotid restenosis.

Sugru is a business I've admired for some time - it's a great product, but it's not that easy to explain without having a go. So I've always found their marketing and the way they position themselves very interesting.
Then I met Linda at an event and discovered that the more techy-side of their marketing was equally interesting. When I started my podcast I knew I wanted to feature Linda early-on.
In the podcast we cover many eCommerce topics, including:
and much more.
I hope you enjoy listening as much I enjoyed recording it.
Ecommerce websites make the buying process easy. Your customers can browse your entire catalogue of products from the comfort of their living room. That is, of course, provided your website works as it should.
Here are four ecommerce website post-launch checks you should make right away:
1. Create a sitemap.xml and robots.txt file
If you want your new site to be indexed by the search engines, you need to submit a sitemap. You should upload this file via Google Webmaster Tools or Bing Webmaster Tools. Savvy e-tailers should also set up a robots.txt file to tell the search engines the pages you don't want indexing. This should be used for pages like your shopping cart and order confirmation pages.
2. Set up Google Analytics
Right after launch, you should be setting up Google Analytics. Free to set up and easy to use, this tracking and monitoring software helps you keep a close eye on the success of your website. Simply set up with a Gmail email address and place the code on your website — it is as simple as that.
Some top tips for making the most of analytics software is to make sure you're not tracking website visits from your IP address. This will give you an accurate figure of real visits to the ecommerce site. You should also make use of the goals, conversions, and social funnels.
3. Check out your checkout
Ask someone who has no previous knowledge of your ecommerce site to make a test purchase. This is the easiest way to check that your checkout is working and that the buying process is easy. After all, if people struggle to buy from your ecommerce site, they won't hang around for long.
4. Is it mobile and tablet ready?
Is your ecommerce store built to be responsive? With more and more people surfing the web from a smart phone or a tablet computer, responsive design is more important than ever. Test your newly launched website across a whole host of devices and screen resolutions.
Does the design adapt and does everything work as it should? If not, now is your chance to make the appropriate changes.
In order to thrive in 2013 and beyond, an ecommerce website is a necessity. The sooner you start following this checklist, the sooner you can drive traffic to your site and boost your sales. What are you waiting for?
Clare Evans is a copywriter at Superdream, a digital agency in the Midlands, specialising in ecommerce website design.
Any company with an ecommerce website knows that order fulfillment is a big issue. And the main challenge for companies is trying to pinpoint specific reasons that customers are abandoning their online shopping carts.
Some service providers have created software that targets each customer who has incomplete orders. The management software will most likely send an automated email that remarkets the product or makes a special pricing offer. However, before employing one of these services it is advantageous to understand the process your customers go through when considering a purchase. It is also important to know why they choose not to fulfill their orders.
The first step would be to understand the flow of Internet commerce. Many customers choose to shop online because they can pick the best-priced item after comparing costs on various sites. When going back and forth between sites, clients will also take into account the added cost to pack and ship the item. Others shop online because of a time-consuming job or they like the convenience of not having to leave their house.
There are two main solutions when trying to avoid web comparison-shopping. The first is to build brand loyalty — which of course is beneficial to any business. The other option is create a unique product that cannot be found on other sites, such as Amazon.
The other reason orders are not fulfilled by customers may be the complexity of your processing page. Your checkout form should be as simple as possible. It should be written in the most direct and simple manner possible. You may also want to have a sales specialist write a detailed FAQ page about your checkout for those looking for a step-by-step description.
This infographic gives a quick overview of the most important factors that affect the checkout process.
For the past few years our focus on getting up close and personal with our customers has increased. With the development of CRM systems and improved analytics we have gained a deeper understanding of who our customers are and how they shop.
Largely led by big brands with expensive systems we have learnt that the customer buying process is complex, usually involving several channels and multiple influencing factors. As this step change has taken place, smaller brands have had to sit on the sidelines and watch the big players reap the rewards of greater insight and functionality.
Thankfully the market has moved on and the playing field is now even. Plug and play technology has emerged onto the market that allows brands of all sizes to create intelligent, personalised marketing. For the first time ever, even the smallest of companies can build a personal dialogue with their customers.
So what does it mean in practice? Brought down to its most basic level, it's all about listening to the consumer and delivering a tailored service based on what you know about each customer. I always like to use the shop analogy — if someone walked into your shop, the conversation would probably go something like this:
Owner: Hi, Can I help you with anything?
Customer: Yes, I'm looking for a pair of brown boots in a size 6
Owner: Certainly, let me show you what we have in stock
It's a simple analogy but it illustrates a point. In face-to-face situations or on the telephone we would always find out what the customer wants and then aim to deliver it.
In an online situation we tend to just throw everything that we have at the customer regardless of what we know about them. We expect them to trawl through everything, even items that are not in stock.
There is no excuse for this "one size fits all" targeting, we now have the ability to personalise our marketing with ease and on many different levels including personalising a home page on a website, personalising the product selections shown to the customer when they visit our website, re-engaging with browsers who have left a website without completing a purchase and even sharing this information across channels.
So how do you go about this?
Collect customer data
Website browsing data, transactional data and demographic data can all be collected by placing code on your website. You can also encourage customers and visitors to register with you via sales order forms, newsletters and promotions. This customer insight will form the lifeblood of your campaign as it will allow you to target the most relevant products, messages and promotions to each customer.
Identify your opportunities
This data can tell you when and how to connect with your customers and provide them with relevant content. A good place to start is abandoned basket campaigns that re-engage customers who have left the site without purchasing. This is an easy way to make an impact on your sales as you are targeting customers who have already expressed an interest in a product by putting it in their basket or even going to the checkout. By sending a triggered email you can re-engage with the customer and capture this lost revenue. This sort of activity can gives you a revenue uplift of 8%.
Other levels of personalisation involve showing the customer their own unique web page, displaying personalised images, messages and even incentives based on what you know about them. Taking this a step further you can personalise product searches so that the products they are most likely to buy appear at the top of the search results.
It's important to keep in mind what you are trying to achieve — it's not just about finding ways to personalise, ultimately it's about improving the experience for the customer to increase their responsiveness. Although it may seem like a daunting prospect, view it is as a process of gradually getting to know your customers and building a service as personal as if they had walked into your shop.
Expanding your business abroad is no mere afterthought despite the ease of reaching people in different languages and markets across the world thanks to the internet.
Rarely is it necessary these days to set up local offices or physical branches on the high street to sell your wares or services. People simply search for your product and buy from you even if your business isn't based in their country — most customers will trust worldwide shipping to make purchases online.
So how do we take advantage of this phenomenon? How do we reach audiences in the same language but a different country like Australia or the USA? How do we reach audiences in a different language and a different country altogether? How do we avoid embarrassing mistakes to keep our credibility intact when people do eventually find us?
The key issue that most business forget in the rush to maximise the opportunity is not to get lost in translation.
Acting local with content
The first thing you need is web content. Whether you're an ecommerce site selling your unique brand of clothes or a firm selling professional services or an online product such as a video game — you need copy that is written in the customer's language.
But before you log onto Google translate, remember that people are not that forgiving of businesses with poorly written copy. So it makes sense to hire a professional writer that has native level language skills in the country of choice — even Australian English for instance.
A professional writer will not only write using the idioms and wordplay, they will also understand the culture of how people buy into what it is you do. This will also help prevent costly branding mistakes such as the time Opel named their car Nova for the Spanish market which means "no-go".
They will write web copy for your product or service that sounds right and thus will make your business appear more persuasive and trustworthy.
Beyond the website
The professional writer will not only write copy for your website, but equally important, will write unique content for other websites discussing the issues that your business' products or services resolve.
This not only allows you to reach out to new audiences in France but also helps build your reputation in Google France. This happens in a number of ways:
Becoming famous
If the budget stretches, you may wish to consider getting coverage in the target country. This will require a public relations (PR) specialist with the right media contacts in the countries you're marketing to.
The PR will help you build your profile with the media and create news hooks that will help your press releases get picked up by the press your customers read. These news hooks could be original research or surveys or whitepapers that will help your brand get noticed and stand out from all other local and global competitors vying for your customers' money.
Although Rome wasn't built in a day, just imagine what the Romans would have given to have the technology we have to reach millions of people across the world — all powered by search.
Ecommerce businesses come in all shapes and sizes and unless you know, with clarity, which type you are, you'll find your business struggling to succeed.
Some have shops as well as websites, some sell on Amazon or eBay, others send out catalogues. The type of ecommerce business you are in affects everything you do with that business — from stock control to finance to marketing.
Once you know your type, you can more easily work out what to do next. Every single ecommerce business fits into one of these seven types. Understanding the nature of your own business will fundamentally change the way you run and market it.
What are the seven types of ecommerce business?
1. Online only
The only way to see the products is online. Examples include: asos.com, lookfantastic.com, Made.com.
2. Mail order
A transactional website plus a printed catalogue, and possibly one or two physical stores. Examples: Boden, House of Bath, Lands End.
3. Big bricks and clicks
These business have lots of physical stores as well as an ecommerce website. Examples include: Argos, Boots, Topshop.
4. Boutique bricks and clicks
These businesses have just one or two physical locations plus the ecommerce website. Examples include: Boswells, Burford Needlecraft, Brownsfashion.com
5. Mainstream piggyback
These businesses use the likes of Amazon or eBay to market the products, with no website of their own.
6. Niche piggyback
Where sellers of similar products come together to market more easily, usually retaining their own blog or ecommerce site elsewhere too. Examples include: the craft world (Etsy, Folksy), hotels (hotels.com, laterooms.com), jewellery (Boticca), and Books (abebooks.co.uk).
7. Full multichannel
These businesses use multiple shops, catalogues, and ecommerce and by far the most complex and most difficult to run. Examples are: Bravissimo, Crew Clothing.
Mail order is very different to online only because a catalogue exists for a long time which puts restrictions on your merchandising — you've got to keep products in stock for longer, and you are very likely to have to deal with backorders.
Bricks and clicks are different to other types because you've got all the overheads of stores to deal with, but also the opportunity to use those stores to drive traffic to your website — and you can create a pick-up-in-store delivery option.
The piggyback types are a whole new way to do business online — no more struggling to get your website right, just use someone else's and let them bring you business. Then there's full multichannel — encompassing it all, and the most heavily reliant on good integrated systems.
How the different models work
Your ecommerce business structure influences everything you do in your business, from your USP to your team structure, to your finances. But in particular it has a big impact on how you market your business; if you're a piggyback then the person you piggy back on is driving your traffic, so you don't need to worry so much about marketing, you need to focus on product and price. Whereas if you're an online only you have to drive your own traffic — so you've got be busy with your marketing.
Certain marketing methods suit certain types of ecommerce business and this is just one reason why it's important to know what you are!
For example a full multi-channel business should have social media low on its priority list, and will seriously miss out if it ignores email. A mail order ecommerce business must focus on email, offline promotions, search engine optimisation and remarketing.
By working out what type of ecommerce business you are, you can determine where your effort should be focused in order to get the best return on investment and ensure your business is a success.

Excellent Treatment for Keratoconus
Corneal collagen cross-linking (CXL) is a noninvasive one-hour treatment for progressive keratoconus and post-LASIK corneal ectasia. Remarkably, this treatment uses only a riboflavin solution and ultraviolet light to strengthen corneal bonds. CXL treatments not only slow the progression of keratoconus, but also improve vision in more than 50% of patients treated!
Q: How is collagen cross-linking performed?
A After numbing drops are placed in each eye to ensure patient comfort, the corneal epithelium is saturated in riboflavin solution eye drops for about thirty minutes. Special keratoconus or ectasia cases may require removal of superficial corneal epithelial cells before saturation. After riboflavin has been added, the eye is illuminated with ultraviolet (UV) light for 5-30 minutes depending on equipment used and patient condition.
Q: How does collagen cross-linking work?
A When ultraviolet light reacts with riboflavin on the corneal surface, the result is bond creation between collagen fibers. Every crosslink created makes the cornea stronger. Strengthening the cornea in this way slows, and for some patients stops, progressive keratoconus and corneal ectasia.
Benefits of Collagen Cross-Linking:
- Slows or stops progressive keratoconus
- Requires only a single one-hour treatment
- No injections
- No stitches
- No incisions
- Rapid recovery
Collagen Cross-Linking Candidates Must:
- Be at least 14 years old
- Have a diagnosis of progressive keratoconus or post-LASIK/post-LASEK corneal ectasia
- Have corneal thickness greater than 300 micrometers where thinnest
- Not be pregnant
- Be able to leave your contacts out for at least four weeks before and after treatment

When JMM circled laterally, took the angle away from Manny, and Manny didn't oblige him with more than a few short 1-1-2's, Marquez took the initiative and landed with lead rights and lefts while ducking under. When JMM initiates offensively on his terms and stays responsible, there's little Manny can do besides hope to land a right hook and pray the right hand he might be eating simultaneously isn't harder. And Manny isn't going to fool Juan into that, and he's not going to fight like Chris John.
Countering Juan and catching him may be an option, but it's only going to come about if Manny uses feints, lot's of offensive movements, and mixes up his offense better. But JMM leading will probably upset that and make Manny nervous in the second half again. He can lead better than Manny can counter, and he's not going to follow Pac on his own.
Thankyou Tazo! Alot of these Pacquiao fans will not accept that Pacquiao's fight plan in the 3rd fight was to box from distance. To stay at center ring without going out looking for Marquez and have Pacquiao's faster hands and feet manuever around Marqeuz and fluster him.
Roach having seen Marquez not able to react to Mayweather's quickness and speed from from distance thought Pacquiao could do the same to an old lightweight moving up in weight. He thought Marquez would'nt be quick enough to react and his interviews before hand showed the glee he was in anticipating Paquiao was going to be to quick, to fast, to powerful, and to Patient for Marquez.
Pacquiao spent the first few rounds attempting to box and force Marquez to lead. Marquez mantained calm at center ring and probed clean lead shots to both the head and body of Pacquiao.
I had voiced concern in this forum going into that 3rd fight whether Marquez could be quick enough on the trigger at his age and moving up two weight classes to land on a Pacquiao if Pacquiao fought from distance and made Marquez lead.
We got that answer right away in the first couple or rounds.
Pacquiao was being patient, Marquez was probing and landing solid leads, and the result was that Pacquiao was'nt answering back with a quick enough counter.
Pacquiao could not match x's and o's with Marquez and that was very apparent early on.
What do you think Tazo of what I outlined for dangerousity, about Pacquiao's best bet to win legitly would be to get on his bicycle ala Leonard vs Hagler and DLH vs Trinidad. To actually run around Marquez and look to engage very little?
Do you think at 40 years of age Marquez can get his feet to move fast enough to land effective clean punches????
Personally imo, running would be Pacquiao's best option. He's not going to outbox Marquez, and he eats to many clean flush shots and becomes gunshy when he gets overly aggressive vs Marquez.

A film about the English suffrage movement called "Suffragettes" is in development. No votes for women in Saudi municipal elections. One hundredth anniversary of English boycott of census by suffragettes, an event that was inspired by Ghandi. There's more suffrage news on the internet than ever before. The 100th anniversary of suffrage in the United States is in 2020, which isn't tomorrow, but it suggests that the interest will increase in time.

I want to allow a drag and drop reorder facility within my app. I'm aware I can do this with acts_as_list, and have followed the Rails Recipe on this. However, due to the way my app is built, the item I want to reorder can't use acts_as_list as it inherits it's position field on create from nested items within another model. When I use acts_as_list, this seems to override the position value meaning the order set in the parent model is lost, child positions are then random.
So I suppose I have two questions:
Can I build an Ajax style drag and drop reorder facility without Acts_As_List?
Can I put some kind of if statement with the model to disable acts_as_list on create but enable at all other times? Something like (in english rather than code):
if method = create
child.position = parent.position

How To Stop Binge Eating
Tips to stop overeating, stop emotional eating, stop eating fast food, stop eating junk food

I just wanted to ask everyone here if they ever tried weed and if it made it worse or better. I have been using cannabis almost on a daily basis for about 4 years, and during this time I had my first year of no binges.
Recently I have been REALLY bad again… and starting to think that maybe it was not the cannabis that helped me back then but something else. Also I have done some research and apparently cannabis messes with your appetite receptors… Not sure that to think.March 12, 2009 at 1:32 pm #7959
Hi Paleena,
My hubby used a lot of weed in the past. He used it because he used to do lots of manual labor (cut wood, construction) and also because it made his mood better. When he smoked, he would not eat at all for hours and hours, and ate less altogether although he did get those 'munchies'. But what else would you expect after not eating for half a day???
Now that he does not smoke…he eats a lot more food, esp. chocolate, and is generally in a poor mood (which he blames on his job). He won't try St. John's wort though, nor will he exercise regularly.March 12, 2009 at 2:19 pm #7960
Hi Paleena,
Responding to the appetite-receptor derangement issue…I think lots of things mess with it (food itself, mood, drugs..) For me, mood is the major one. Anything that alters the dopamine traffic in the limbic part of the brain.
For me, I think I've settled the food issue because I've tested different ways of eating and decided that a high fat, moderate protein, lower starch diet suits my body the best. It also allows me to eat my fav foods in moderation everyday (chocolate, nuts, chips cooked in veg oil, whole grains), and obtain weight control.
As for mood, I know that any unstopped negative thinking pattern starts to decrease the dopamine levels in the brain (I swear I could feel it). So, when I focus on my unfashionable apple-shape, it makes me think why bother at food control if I'll still be an apple-shape skinny person??? But when I turn around my thinking toward the positive end of the spectrum, and focus on the fact my pants fit better now…it maintains my motivation. Same with when I overeat..if I think "I overeat everyday…why should I bother to try to change this?" is de-motivating. But if I think "Well, I had another unplanned snack but it really comforted me and I think I needed it. Tomorrow, I'll try to talk to someone instead of the extra snack". I think you get my point about trying to challenge one's negative thoughts and not believe every single thought you have.March 13, 2009 at 1:32 am #7961
Hey Paleena: You mentioned in an older post that you were chronically exercising as well during the time you stopped bingeing. May be this is the key factor that connects exercise-better mood–stop bingeing. Of all the things you could be addicted to, I think an hour or two exercise per day would be the least harmful (most people would say it's health-promoting!). I guess at first, it might increase your appetite so that your meals are somewhat larger, but you'd be burning it off with all the walking/exercising you're doing. There's not much we can do about being compulsive…but at least there would be harm reduction.
HelenMarch 14, 2009 at 11:13 am #7962
Hi Helen,
I understand that you just have to get into the swing of things and get back to it (the exercise) but at the moment everything is just so GREY… I totally understand what you said about consuming all the time. Being an Economics graduate doesnt help either because you really SEE the mechanisms of greed, I really do just feel like a machine..creating misery and havoc around me.
I have done some travel around asia, thailand was the worst, little girls just being used and so brainwashed that they see absolutely nothing wrong with what is happening to them. I have now returned to London and it is really depressing to see our feeble attempts at charity.
I am starting to volunteer at the moment and looking for work in the voluntary sector.
Actually I was talking with my mum, and she said that having me and my brother gave her a sense of purpose. What did you experience when you had your kids?
p.s. I am not planning on getting pregnant any time soon just wanted to know what you thoughtMarch 14, 2009 at 2:16 pm #7963
Hi Paleena,
Yeah, I do sense a strong sense of purpose along with a sense of dread that this life will hurt them…but I guess all parents fear harm to their kids. Because I am not an auntie to anyone, I am happy that I have children. But I don't care for grandkids…I hope my boys find a spouse eventually but like you say there's a lot of misery and garbage on this planet and I don't see the sense in trying to perpetrate humanity under these conditions. It's heroic just to make sure the ones still living are treated decently.
I'm glad to hear that you have a life as a volunteer. The weather is improving so that always helps to get physically moving. It's also a time of year we naturally want to eat more veggies and salads as it becomes in season. I find it hard to eat the tasteless fruit and vegs available in winter.
HelenMarch 14, 2009 at 3:27 pm #7964
Paleena: I remembered another 'trick' for when your binge phase is over and you're back to eating regular meals.
Korean families often have a brothy soup at meals, and this fills the stomach to full capacity sooner than just eating solids. Generally, Korean ladies are not obese. I should be doing this too but am too lazy to make soup most daysMarch 14, 2009 at 3:31 pm #7965
oops, cut myself off before I finished.
Anyways, borscht is the perfect soup to start a meal if you love it (I do!). I don't ever have just soup and bread for a meal though because it's not enough calories and then you're hungry in an hour again. If you don't like cooking, may be your mom can make you a big batch of soup if you bring her the groceries :wink:
HelenMarch 15, 2009 at 7:39 pm #7966
Hi, I think that one of the things that really scares me about having kids, is that I am worried that I might inadvertently pass on my food issues to them. My nan was a ballet dancer with a daily diet of two raw eggs mixed with 200g of sugar per day. My mum was anorexic in her earlier days because my nan didnt want a porker in the family. Despite what she went through she still commented on me putting on weight when I was 15 which resulted in my first restrictive period and sparked a lot of this. Since, she has actually apologized, and she has told me that it was because she loved and and she didnt want me to put on weight and then obsess about losing it (i think that it makes some kind of sense) so she didnt mean it.
I am hoping that if/when I have kids I will be able to break this cycle.March 15, 2009 at 8:54 pm #7967
Hi Paleena: Thanks for the cooking lesson for borscht (I was cutting up raw beets!). I think it is a hard cycle to break but not impossible. I haven't given any thought to how I will handle it if I start seeing signs of bingeing in my own kids. I'm just trying to train them into good eating habits and not being too anal about sweets…if I eat apple pie or ice cream, then my son gets a portion too. I think it's true, like for your mum, when a parent sees a sign of weakness that she has herself, she tries to overcontrol/ overcorrect it…and it leads to further problems. I'm glad your mum came clean and apologized to you.March 15, 2009 at 11:26 pm #7968
re: GI based eating plans.
I was reading about it too. The problem with GI tables is that you can measure different values for a given food depending on other biologic variables. Also, they don't always show the actual glycemic load (GL) of a typical portion. What is more helpful is the insulin index of a food but there has been only limited research and measurements. The insulin index shows that even meat and stuff with GI= zero will still generate an insulin response, but one that is much lower than for starches. This is because with anything we eat, there has to been insulin to get the fuel into cells. I am not committed to the low-carb concept enough to count carbs…I'm more of a mod-carb eater.March 18, 2009 at 5:00 pm #7969
Hi Paleena,
Yeah– 1100 kcals/day is not even enough to run your metabolism.
The problem with emptying your lipid stores too quickly: the fat then fails to send enough leptin to your brain, which fails to shut off the PYY (neuropeptide switch). The PYY switch being on is what causes the voracious feeding behavior. Yes- your body takes revenge on you for being hasty.
Your 2000 plan sounds great because it'll be close to your daily energy expense…and like Jacqui says, this is a relative 'diet' for your body b/c it'll totally reduce the binge calories…thus weight loss will happen from not bingeing.

The deadline for REU applications 5:00 p.m. Friday, February 20, 2015.
Live the life of a professional researcher this summer!
Stone Lab's Research Experience for Undergraduates Scholarship Program brings together students from across the country to learn how to conduct real, in-the-field research alongside top scientists. Over five weeks, participants use scientific equipment, explore the Lake Erie islands and collect important data to help solve the most pressing issues for the Great Lakes region.
While taking a five-week course at Stone Lab, REU students spend their "non-class" days focused on research. Working closely with their research supervisor, they collect data, learn how to write up their discoveries and give a final presentation to their peers learning the research process from start to finish and gaining valuable, professional experience.
This year students will lead the following projects:
Involvement can even continue beyond the summer, as students have the opportunity to attend local and regional conferences and co-author scientific journal articles about their research.
Those undergraduates selected via the highly competitive application process receive a full REU scholarship, which includes in-state tuition for the 2 credit research experience, in-state tuition for one five-week, 4-credit course, the lab fee, and room and board. Applicants must provide their own health insurance, pay any program fees required by particular Ohio State majors and have a cumulative grade point average of 3.0 or higher (on a 4.0 scale). Further, first preference will be given to students that hold a junior or senior rank.

Ohio State president Gordon Gee addressed his beleagured athletic department in a statement this morning, and while his interpretation of the words he used isn't necessarily incorrect, it's certainly tone-deaf.
"We are the poster child for compliance," Gee said, "and whenever we discover a possible infraction, we resolve and report it to the NCAA, no matter how minor the violation. That's what we have done here."
Now, the popular sentiment among writers thus far has been to remind Gee that "denial isn't just a river in Egypt," but I'd amend that slightly to "compliance isn't just a department in your office." It's one thing if Ohio State quickly and dutifully reports all the potential violations it hears about to the NCAA (though are we just going to pretend the Jim Tressel era never happened? Really? This soon?). That's what a compliance department ought to do.
If you want your athletic department to be the poster child for compliance, though, the correct way to go about that is to stop committing such an unholy amount of violations in the first place. That's what real compliance is, and on that front, Ohio State has failed miserably -- espectially relative to just about every other school in Division I. Where that systemic unusual frequency of individual failure comes from can be debated endlessly, but the point is that it's there, and as long as Ohio State keeps pretending there's no big problem the violations are going to keep happening.
My solution? An Ohio-wide media campaign called "STOP PAYING OUR PLAYERS IT DOESN'T END WELL FOR ANYBODY." Use Maurice Clarett and Terrelle Pryor in TV commercials to talk about how accepting improper benefits torpedoed their college careers right when they were getting good. But don't just go up there and tell people OSU's doing everything right. C'mon.

Gordon Gee: OSU 'poster child' for compliance
Gee doesnt run football. He shouldnt get fired for what kids and his AD does... Smith will propbably lose his job at the end of this year Id imagine. This guy cannot stay on the job, this is getting ridiculous. I mean OSU has the largest compliance staff in country. Apparently they arent doing enough to teach these kids what the rules are (And there are literally thousands, so im not angry they dont know all them)... or at the very least these kids need to be taught if they are going to do ANYTHING involving money or gifts or doing anything where they leave with more than they came with (no matter what) then they need to clear it with a compliance official before doing it. This is out of control. Granted nothing new has happened since the Tat problems, but stuff is still being uncovered. I keep dreading Lack of Institutional Control... Its coming for OSU and we are going to get hammered. Damnit

Gordon Gee: OSU 'poster child' for compliance
God points.... I wonder if the lackof integrity in athletics begins tofind it's way into academics at OSU.
SAd thing isthatthere are defendersof this. Geeshows his incompetecnce in his commments...OSU should not be reporting violations - they should not be committing violations. Until they work to eliminate violations they will continue to be in violation of the rules. How does one get a job with a basic lackof understnding this? Clearly mr. Gee is way overpaid!

Gordon Gee: OSU 'poster child' for compliance
Until flim-flam men and hypocrites like Gordon Gee and Gene Smith are fired, there will never be change in the NCAA. Fire a president and watch the beginning of an era of compliance. If Ohio State wants to be the "poster child" of anything, it should be the poster child for cutting the head off the snake. Or, better yet, deciding that when it comes to corruption, the BUCK does stop somewhere.
Gee proclaimed himself the great reformer of college athletics at Vanderbilt. He did nothing but move the deck chairs. At Ohio State he oversees the most non-compliant athletic department in AMERICA, and has the nerve to call it the "poster child" for compliance. Is Ohio really full of rubes that believe this stuff? C'mon.
Where are the faculty that supposedly believe in the importance of self-honesty? Where are the trustees that are the stewards of the state's cherished flagship? Where the hell is the crazy governor that wants to be President of the United States of America? How long will Gee be allowed to continue this cover up?
Right now, you have a clownish buffoon with a bowtie continuing to make embarrassing statements. It is a decoy. They do not want anyone to notice the theater of the absurd playing in the Ohio Supreme Court. The Ohio Supreme Court has now ruled twice in favor of ESPN's quest to have Ohio State release public documents. Do you realize what this means? The taxpayers of Ohio are paying for a Legal Affairs department at Ohio State University to have the taxpayers of Ohio pay for a Supreme Court ruling against the State of Ohio? You cannot make this stuff up.
As for Gee. He has a J.D. Yes, he is a lawyer. Not an attorney mind you, a lawyer. And you wonder where he gets his gift for doublespeak? Like the worst sort of lawyer, he seems to live by the ethic: "Don't lie. Just don't tell the truth." What does the head lawyer have to say about the rulings by the Ohio Supreme Court? No comment.
As for Smith...the highest paid AD in the United States. Just look at what happened to Arizona State after he left his job there. Yes, their disastous violations date back to his management.
Shameful. Just shameful.

Gordon Gee: OSU 'poster child' for compliance
The idea about having a commercial with those is probably not a bad idea. Again there are 2 sides to boosters illeagally giving benefits to recruits. I do not understand the condemnation of 18-23 kids; who are going to school (sometimes), not allowed to work, and see the University benefit of the tune of $100k or more from their performance, for accepting money from Adults who usually have ties to the Program. Honestly I bet these boosters feel better about themselves than the NCAA. They are willing to give millions to the program. They may not see it as fair that the players are not paid. If you require punishment go after the people with the money.

Gordon Gee: OSU 'poster child' for compliance
What!? OSU needs to get rid of this moron and their AD. Then maybe things can go back to normal for this storied program. I don't understand how they still have their jobs? Maybe a OSU fan can explain why?

Steve Schumacker, left, and Tim Karlen perform Sunday during Homegrown Talent at the Edgar High School Auditorium.
Prom was Saturday night at Edgar High School, but the homecoming was Sunday.
Eight musicians and singers - seven acts - took to the stage in the school's three-year-old auditorium for an afternoon concert, performing wide ranging music from jazz to rock to country to classical. All the performers have Edgar roots or live there now, and they were guests of the sprouting Edgar Fine Arts Association for a concert billed as Homegrown Talent.
The performances included Tim Karlen and Steve Schumacker, who were two-thirds of the Straight Shooter Band, which had its heyday in the 1990s; Scott ...

Mutant Mouse: Smad4
NIDDK Contact:
Principal Investigator(s):
Resource Link:
Smad4 knockout: Smad 4 is essential for epiblast proliferation and mesoderm induction in early embryogenesis.
The TGF-β-related superfamily plays an important role in multiple biological systems including embryogenesis. TGF-β ligands activate specific receptors, which interact with specific Smad proteins, which in turn form a complex with a common partner, Smad4, that conveys the signal to downstream targets. Exon 8 of the Smad4 gene was disrupted using homologous recombination in embryonic stem cells. Exon 8 encodes the C-terminal domain of Smad4 that is essential for the formation of heteromeric complexes with the other Smads. Mice heterozygous for the Smad4 mutation are phenotypically normal. Homozygotes, however, die early in embryonic development (day E6.5-8.5). Smad4 is required for three essential functions in early embryogenesis: epiblast proliferation, egg cylinder formation, and mesoderm induction.

Love is eternally irresistible. The prodigal son is drawn home, according to the Gospel of Luke, by his father's nature: generous, wise, able, assiduous, and tender. When I was about eight years old, on a walk home from church one evening with my father, I listened as Daddy delineated the delicacy of the parable: the father's yearning for his estranged younger son, his attentiveness to his obtuse older son. I did not get it. I was torn between the younger son's audacity and the older son's seemingly legitimate grievance. I did not understand the heart of the father. Daddy does.
It should come as no surprise that I work with students preparing them to read courteously, write thoughtfully, and attend to the human condition carefully. It is a privilege to do so for Jesus' Sake. For I am still learning to say, as the prodigal son did, "I will arise and go to my father" (Luke 15.18).

Talib, Britt to meet with Goodell Tuesday
Posted on: August 22, 2011 8:46 pm
Posted by Ryan Wilson
For all the wrong reasons, Buccaneers cornerback Aqib Talib and Titans wide receiver Kenny Britt had busy offseasons. And now both players will meet this week with NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell to discuss possible disciplinary measures for violations to the league's personal-conduct policy.
In May, Talib was indicted by a grand jury for aggravated assault with a deadly weapon. (He later blamed his mother.) The trial was moved to next spring, and Talib now says he's ready to move on with the season (although Goodell will probably have something to say about that).
Britt, meanwhile, was arrested a day after a court appearance, and blamed hackers for disparaging remarks about Goodell that showed up on his Facebook page.
According to ESPN's Adam Schefter, Talib and Britt will be at the league offices in Manhattan on Tuesday to talk to Goodell, and a "lengthy" fine could be in both their futures. Schefter adds that Talib's attorneys "are convinced they have a sound defense that will appease the NFL and could help save their client."
Apparently, Talib's attorney's aren't familiar with Goodell and his knack for arbitrarily handing out punishments. And that leads us to this: expect to hear complaints that Goodell shouldn't discipline players for infractions that happened during the lockout.
We agree, it's ludicrous. But so is granting one man the power to serve as judge, jury and executioner, which is exactly what happened with the new collective bargaining agreement.
Titans' union rep Jake Scott told ESPN.com's Paul Kuharsky that the NFLPA would challenge any sanctions levied by Goodell.
"I'm still a big believer that the league should have any authority to discipline guys for things that ... happened while there was no CBA," he said. "There was a separation agreement issued from the teams to the players, which means we what it means: It means, 'We don't want anything to do with you.' "To me, nothing means nothing."
Britt, meanwhile, is optimistic that he'll avoid punishment.
"We'll have a sit-down, talk over what happened, see where our minds are at, see where I am at and see what happens from there," Britt told Kuharsky Monday. " ... I'm being hopeful that nothing happens to me. I plan on being real. I was brought up to be a man of his word, a man who takes up for his actions and things like that. That's how my father raised me up and that's how I will go in there tomorrow."
Given Goodell's history, we'd be just as surprised with lifetime suspensions for Britt and Talib as $50 fines.

Forget the lockout rules. How hard is it to not break the phuccing law?? 99 percent of NFL players never need to get involved with Roger Goodell because why? They don't have run ins with the police and they don't get arrested you moron!!!

Talib, Britt to meet with Goodell Tuesday
Roger Godell looks over the line of many players who have gotten themselves into minor legal trouble.
Godell: *yawn* Who shall it be this time? (pause) #13, # 24 and # 87. You're all suspended. The rest of you, free to go. Release their names to the press.
Tiffany: Yes Mr. God. Who are they?
Godell: I don't know. It doesn't matter as long as we punish someone. Samantha! Bring me the rule book. I wish to make the game safer.
Samantha: Yes Mr Godell.
Godell: Take this down. Let's see, no tackeling the quarterback after he releases the ball, even if the defensive player has already made contact. No tackeling the ball carrier if it looks like he's on his way down. And no tackeling the... no tackeling the... and no tackling. Oh, and keep the tuck rule in place. I want to keep the fans confused and distracted. Pass that into football law.
Now, let's raise the ticket prices, eliminate alcohol from the stadium, ban tailgating and continue to make this sport the best it can possibly be!
But enough of this, time for a break. Tiffaney, bring me the court Jester. Emmith Smith, what wonderful wisdom do you have for me today?
Emmitt: "He gets the ball over to their third read than most quarterback can."
Godell: Wonderful! Again!
Emmitt: "It takes a coach who know how to communicate."
Godell: Yes! Brilliant!
Emmitt: "The NFC West is probably one of the weakest...confrences... in the whole NFC. These guys over here, you have the Cardinals, you have the 49ers, you have the Seahawks, and you also have the Rams."
Godell: How delightfull informative.
Emmitt: "That offense does... do look good."
Godell: What wonderful trickery!
Emmitt: "The percentages for teams that go into score before the first half is pretty high that they wins the game."
Godell: Funny and informative!
Emmitt: "You have to have the personality to match up with the Patriots."
Samantha: Personality? Are the Patriots a Virgo? I'm a Libra and I wonder if we match up well together.
Godell: Baby cakes, he meant personnel. That's why it's funny.
Samantha. Of of course! I thought that mabye you had to like children and long walks on the beach to win fottball games.
Godell: Not yet, but soon.
Emmitt: "Wade Phillips have not had time to insert this."
Godell: *looks to Samantha* Neither have I, but we'll meet up later tonight.
Emmitt: "What else can you say about a defense that get together?"
Samantha: I don't know! What else can you always?
Emmitt: "The way you perform make them feel about you different."
Samantha: I know! I perform perfectly when the good and I together.
Emmitt: "The hill represent another rushing title this year for the season. For others watching this thing who've worked out on hills, this is a opportunity to build strength within."
Samantha: Oh... wow. He's like some kinda poems.
Godell: Poet.
Samantha: Yeah. That too.
Emmitt: "You cannot change the stripes of a leopard."
Samatha: And you cannot pin the tail on the donkey.
Emmitt: "Eli Manning has been given the rice of passage."
Samantha: *yelps* Did you hear that God? I mean, Mr. God? He just proposed to me!
Godell: It's the story of life: boy meets girl. Boy gets stupid. Girl is stupid. Boy and girl live stupidly ever after. I remain all powerful. Okay Samantha, clear my schedule, I'm going to take the rest of the day off. You and Emmitt go make some stupid babies that I can turn into football players.
Samantha: But what about our date today. And tonight.
Godell: You're going to get married. And Emmitt's going to get married. Again.
Samantha. Thank you, Mr. God. Oh, you can't take the rest of the day off, you have the examination with the owners today.
Godell: Damn, I forgot. So, how is this for you Emmitt? Is this like winning you're biggest game?
Emmitt: "Don't worry about the game you just won or the team that we just blew out... uhhh... blown... blown out... Let's think about what we need to do going forward, and they had... blown out."
Godell: Well said. I wish you all well. I'd come by for the wedding rehersals but tomorrow I have to relocate Jacksonville to L.A. and Pittsburgh to London. Oh, and uh, send Tiffany back in here. My mushroom head needs some polishing. And tell her to hurry up. It's getting close for my annual anal exam by the 32 owners... and minority partners. It's going to be a long, hard, slow and creamy day.

Punishment for actions during the lockout is ludicrious. When the owners locked the players out it forfeited all rights, including punishment, while the lockout was in force. I would however put these guys on a suspended suspension 8 games for a period of 2 seasons and inform them of what will happen to them if they have negative altercations.

They both deserve to be punished.....fined and suspended, I bet they will both continue to get arrested and eventually do time. I agree in general with Goodell's decesions. I disagree with the Pryor five game suspension decision though.

Both Aqub Talib from the Buccaneers and Kenny Britt from the Titans are good if not great athletes and NFL players. They both also are however, CRIMINALS! Whatever Godell decides to do with these two clowns is good with me, and I hope they both do get a lengthy suspension. There doesn't seem to be much that these two guys are scared to do, including breaking the law. As coach Singletary would say, "It is more about them than it is about the team. Cannot play with them, cannot win with them, cannot coach with them. Can't do it. I want winners. I want people that want to win."

As a parent, I could not help but notice a recent news headline that read, "Heroin use among young in N.J. is up, and in more suburban areas." It was a strong reminder that trends in drug and alcohol abuse are constantly changing, requiring constant vigilance. Here in Union County we are more resolved than ever to help parents provide their children with positive experiences that encourage healthy habits.
In this regard, Union County parents can draw upon some unique resources and longstanding traditions.
About 90 years ago, Union County became one of the first counties in the entire nation to establish its own park system. The aim was to promote a wide variety of healthy outdoor activities from organized sports and summer camps to hiking, fishing, boating, golf, swimming and even horseback riding.
We are constantly adding new programs as new trends and interests arise, some of which are difficult or impossible to find anywhere else in our region. That includes new skateboarding parks, a new Olympic-quality archery range, and a new First Tee youth development program at our Galloping Hill golf course. The popular new sport of disc golf may also be added in the future.
Our recreation schedule is also packed with family-friendly special events from spring to fall. Once the weather turns cold, our Trailside Nature and Science Center in Mountainside offers another option. It is open every day of the year except holidays. Admission is always free, and there are many affordably priced events and programs for children.
Another indoor option is our beautifully restored, historic Union County Performing Arts Center in downtown Rahway. Along with the new Hamilton Stage performance space, there are child-friendly performances, activities, classes and special events all year.
All in all, as a parent I recognize that substance abuse prevention is one of the most difficult challenges a parent can face. Every bit of extra help can make a difference, and Union County's public recreation resources are here to support you.

December 1, 2015
IRVING (February 28, 2013)--The average price of a gallon of regular unleaded gasoline in Texas dropped this week by a penny from last week to $3.63, AAA-Texas reported Thursday.
AAA said the statewide average is 15 cents below the national average of $3.78.
Gasoline prices were highest in Dallas, averaging $3.68 while El Paso drivers were paying the least at $3.48.
AAA says rising crude oil prices factored in a recent surge in retail prices, but the increase results more from refinery maintenance issues.
The association said this year's refinery maintenance schedule and switch to more-expensive summer-blend gasoline production seems to be have a more dramatic effect than in recent years and is happening earlier than last year.
An auto club spokesman said Texas drivers are paying about $51 to fill a 14-gallon tank.

Like retail outlets around the country in the final week before Christmas, the Schmidt & Titoni Firearms shop in Santa Rosa was bustling Tuesday, its mostly regular customers patiently vying for one of the store's four busy partners to help them conduct their business.
Co-owner Victor Titoni said a surge in sales is fairly typical amid the talk of tougher gun control laws that inevitably follows a mass shooting, in this case one that left 28 dead, 20 of them children, in Newtown, Conn., last week.
Gun enthusiasts come out to buy when they fear their options might be limited in the future, Titoni said.
"They all know," he said. "They go, 'Uh, oh. Here comes more gun regulation.' "
Most of those in the store said they weren't there in panic, but were making purchases they'd planned before anyone outside Connecticut ever heard of Sandy Hook Elementary School.
They expect gun control advocates will try to leverage the mass slaying to promote stricter regulations on weapons and ammunition. But the facts emerging from Newtown suggest the problem lay not with the weapons, they said, but with the man who busted into a grade school Friday with three of his mother's guns and opened fire.
"He made a bad choice," said Santa Rosa hunter Jeff Callaghan, 33. "That's all there is to that."
"I don't think taking people's guns away really has anything to do with that," said Graton resident Raymond Green, 71.
Pundits and politicians are describing the stunning Newtown massacre as a "tipping point" in the nation's acceptance of firearms regulation -- the kind of watershed moment that might reverse what the Gallup polling organization says is 13 years of diminishing support for stricter gun controls, despite the shock over high-profile killings at Virginia Tech University, Aurora, Colo., Fort Hood, Texas, and many others.
Within hours of the Newtown shooting, political leaders were calling for action to curtail the availability of high-powered weapons and high-capacity ammunition.
