While Philadelphia is about to go over 300 murders New York City might actually end up with under 400 murders this year and will most likely set a new record low. Maybe it's time the Philly PD looks into what NYC is doing right.
While Philadelphia is about to go over 300 murders New York City might actually end up with under 400 murders this year and will most likely set a new record low. Maybe it's time the Philly PD looks into what NYC is doing right.
Don't forget DC's success.
Like PS on Facebook!
Well the "good news" is that we are no longer on pace to have more murders than last year: http://www.phillypolice.com/about/crime-statistics/
Given where we were six months ago this actually does represent meaningful improvement in the numbers.
As for DC... Yes it would be nice to gentrify our poor people outside of city limits but that is a lot harder in a city this size. If philly were the same geographic size as DC we would have already achieved that miracle.
If Nutter would have not seeked re-election as promised since he failed this city, maybe we'd be towards a better solution.
Crime Statistics | Philadelphia Police Department
Does anyone have an assessment of what is driving the spike in murders? Is it increased drug trade and the resulting turf wars, associated crime, etc. that may be linked to the down economy? Is it PPD practices (reduction of "stop and frisk", or other things)?
Also, I'd be interested in seeing which neighborhoods have had the greatest jump. IIRC the last time I checked it was the Southwest.
I mean if we treat everyone(Well everyone) like criminals then yeah, you too can lower your crime rate...We tried that, but that didn't go so well...Nor for that matter in NY as the transplants aren't so happy about such policies....
Well except in the end it doesn't stop this:
5-year-old girl shot by stray bullet - NYPOST.com
or get front page coverage across the country....No one cares if this happens in camden or St Louis(The highest murder rates in the country)...
But this will continue the stop and frist policy in NYC for a bit longer...

NYC. Where is the "murdering population" being driven to? Long Island? Jersey? I think here it may have more to do with a better functioning economy, and that even at the lower end of the scale, there are more jobs to be had than in Philly.
Sure, it helps when the right demographics are leaving, but let's not kid ourselves: better policing is a big factor in this.

if you have the time, read Frank Zimring's "Great American Crime Decline".
the big question surrounding the changes: was it great police work or civil rights abuse?
If Giulianis policies toward the poor were particularly uncaring and cynical, well, how many leaders have ever done more for the unfortunate than their constituents demanded? If many people of color saw their rights violated by the police, no doubt many were happy to live in a safer city, or as Giuliani put it with typical delicacy when asked by a Washington Post reporter what he had done for minorities, Theyre alive. How about we start with that?

They still happen, but less frequently and that makes people feel safer.
Philly's murder pattern tends to be a lot less random and a lot more targeted. Drug involvement and arguments are the chief causes. So if you don't deal, and you generally keep to yourself, generally it doesn't matter if the murderers live closer. When sh*t goes down your likelihood of being involved in it is low. It's not zero, but it's pretty low.
Gun homicides of course are the most popular form. Controlling straw purchasers by imposing first-time maximum sentences will dramatically drive up the street prices of most firearms. Probably to MSRP or higher. Sending more people upstate who violate PUFA would also go a long way towards dropping the homicide rate too. People who get locked up in Philly don't ever really care about their PUFA charges. If Carrying a Firearm W/O A License in Phila carried a minimum of 4 with parole in 1-2 years, I think the street calculus would change quite a bit.
I'm participating in CeaseFirePA's CourtWatch program and it's just silly the people who parade through sentencing not really caring at all about their gun possession charges; and for several Common Pleas judges, they just don't give the charges any weight either. It's ridiculous.
If you're anti-2nd Amendment, this should disturb you because it gives pro-2nd Amendment people a giant platform to stand on: the current laws are being used and charged against criminals, but the sentences imposed are basically nothing. So essentially judges have mooted the law on their own by rarely ever handing out stiff sentences on gun charges.
So, why pass more laws that won't be enforced by the judiciary?
New York City logs murder-free Monday, police say - CNN.com
"There was not a single reported slaying, stabbing, shooting or knifing in any of the five boroughs on Monday, according to the New York Police Department."
People don't resort to violent crime as much in New York these days because they're either dissuaded from it by a robust local economy, or prevented by good policing. And the fact is, Philadelphia doesn't have much of either.

Evidently gay marriage causes climate change. I did not know this.
5 Comments
That makes at least as much sense as any other explanation I've seen for this funky apocalypticism.
Friend of mine discovered this article on the pope equating homosexuality with climate change. I think there's a religious consensus.
What!? We believers in the Flying Spaghetti Monster know full well that climate change is directly related to the the number of pirates on the planet.
Yeah, but a lot of them are probably gay. They get married on the high seas. Which may, if anything, have even worse consequences for the weather.
What about the effects of a dog at the white house ? See my point of view at http://www.thominha.blogs.sapo.pt/.

Democrats' largest database, Catalist and online ad firm Collective partner to produce DSPolitical.
Austin, TX - Online political ad networks are by no means a new concept, but the use of data from Catalist, the biggest and most trusted Democratic database brings the hyper targeted capabilities of political direct mail to a recently-launched online ad targeting firm. A partnership between Catalist and online ad targeting and data company Collective has spawned DSPolitical, an ad targeting outfit serving Democrats and progressive groups.
"I honestly think this technology will cause Democrats to spend upwards of 15 percent of their media budgets on online ads this cycle," said Jim Walsh, co-founder and CEO of DSPolitical.
That would be a feat, considering many political consultants are still reluctant to embrace online advertising to the degree they have direct mail, which is reflected in ad budget allocations. On average, spending on web ads often amounts to closer to 5 percent for political campaigns.
The six-month old firm worked with political pollsters to develop audience segments important to Democrats in 2012 in the hopes of giving the party a competitive edge online this cycle. Catalist counts several Democratic Party organizations and labor unions among its clients.
"Catalist comes up with models that enable you to know, for instance, potentially high turnout Democrats...those that are most likely not to vote, folks that might be unregistered voters but if they were registered, they'd be Democrats, things like that," said Walsh. From there, demographics like sex, age, religion, urban, and suburban can be incorporated. Catalist was founded by Clinton White House Deputy Chief of Staff Harold Ickes.
DSPolitical targets in-banner and pre-roll video advertising, along with display ads, including expandable units, for its clients. One Collective display format expands to present a YouTube video that includes in-ad plays in the YouTube count. DSPolitical is selling on a CPM basis.
While optimizing its own data for the DSPolitical partnership, Collective created a political influencer segment combining data on registered voters with behavior such as political content consumption and engagement in online discussions about political issues.
The partners sent their data sets to a third-party data matching firm to produce an anonymized data set allowing DSPolitical to target niche groups of voters while maintaining privacy protection. In the past, the Republican National Committee took a similar approach, using an outside data matching firm to combine the RNC's rich voter file data with user registration data from Yahoo, AOL, and MSN to enable ad targeting on those sites while protecting personally identifiable information.
In 2008, Obama for America used voter file matching to target online ads to Democrats in 10 battleground states.
"We want to make sure we don't do anything that violates people's life, liberty, and the pursuit of privacy," said Walsh, while speaking at the American Association of Political Consultants conference here.
CampaignGrid, which works with GOP candidates and organizations, is another firm incorporating voter file data to target online ads. The firm employs several data sets including the Republican National Committee's voter data to target voters online.
UPDATE: This story originally incorrectly stated that Obama for America is a current Catalist client, but it is no longer a client. Also, it reported that OFA worked with Catalist in 2008 to match voter file data for a 10-state ad targeting test, which Catalist said is incorrect. , and Obama for America - the president's reelection campaign -

Look at your calendar; what did you do last week? Now think about all the other things that you did that are not on there, mommy/daddy/husband/wife stuff, errands, shopping, traffic, subway, TV, Facebook, TV, Facebook, a little sleep, TV, Facebook.
Chronically overscheduled is something I'm often guilty of too (although I'm getting better). But I've gotta tell you, when I look back over my life, my highest stress times, my times of utter mental/emotional chaos, are the times when I am missing one thing.
A moment of stillness.
And I don't really mean a quiet moment with a cup of tea or coffee just sitting there thinking. A moment of stillness goes beyond that, it means mental quiet. For me and my always on always connected life, mental quiet is the hardest type of quiet to get.
Here's what I do:
It's hard for me, because I'm usually going from thing to thing mentally, but it's always worth it. Whether I can hold that state for 10 minutes or the kids bang on the door after 2, the benefits are awesome. Ideas come more freely, organization is (slightly) less painful, stress is greatly reduced, solutions come to me more quickly and I'm generally a much nicer guy.
If you've never just been still, try it and let me know how it goes. If you're really good at being still on a regular basis, then please share your tips.

Regarding the news story of the Supreme Court's ruling regarding Hobby Lobby, you state in a headline "Religious rights trump birth control." That is not even close to the truth.
First, the case examined 20 different, FDA-approved birth control substances. Only four were removed from the approved list — 16 were deemed OK and are still on the Hobby Lobby insurance list. If women working for Hobby Lobby insist on using one of the four "banned" substances, they can still do so. President Obama can mandate that the insurance companies pay for them, they can get them through what we used to call welfare, or (heaven forbid) they can buy them. After all, these women are still working.
Second, the basis for ruling they way they did was because former Secretary of Health and Human Services Kathleen Sebelius mandated that Hobby Lobby pay for all the birth control substances. This was against the 1993 Statute of Religious Freedom submitted by Sen. Charles Schumer, D-N.Y., passed by a Democratic House and Senate, and signed by Bill Clinton. A mandate does not override law. The Supreme Court righted that wrong.
I prefer to have the news that I read fact based, not faith based.

Metro on Tuesday introduced the crown jewel in their efforts to improve domestic violence: a 3,300-square-foot Victim Resource Center.
The project, part of several improvements Metro announced Tuesday, would offer a safe place for victims of domestic violence to meet with counselors and get help as their cases go through the criminal justice system. It is expected to open by August in the Ben West Building on James Robertson Parkway and would have volunteer "navigators" guide victims through court.
"Their first experience in court will affect potentially their next experiences in court. So we're really working and looking towards how to change that experience from ? a victim's perspective," said Diane Lance, special counsel to Mayor Karl Dean, who has spearheaded the city's efforts.
Other improvements announced Tuesday:
? The hiring of up to 12 victim advocates.
? A police review panel to address cases involving repeat victims and offenders.
? A work group to study how to fast-track domestic violence cases.
? The hiring of six part-time employees to help domestic violence detectives with clerical work.
? The development of an automated Night Court system to streamline protection orders.

PRESCOTT, Ariz. (AP) - An investigation into the June deaths of 19 firefighters killed while battling an Arizona blaze has found a litany of problems stemming from inadequate radio communication.
The report by a team of fire experts cites improperly programmed radios, vague updates, and a 30 minute communication blackout just before the flames engulfed the men.
The report says at the moment the firefighters were killed, an air tanker carrying fire retardant was hovering overhead, waiting for an update about their location.
The findings were released Saturday.
The 20-member Granite Mountain Hotshots team arrived on June 30 to fight the fire outside Yarnell, about 80 miles northwest of Phoenix. About nine hours later, the crew radioed that they were trapped by flames and deploying their shelters. One crew member who was assigned as the lookout survived.

Goodbye to our dear friend, Max
by Rick Crandall
posted Mar 12 2012 3:46PM
This is a love story that begins and ends with sadness, but had a whole lot of joy in between.
In April of 1998 I got a call from Dr. Paul Oberbroeckling at the radio station telling me he needed a favor. That weekend a puppy had been brought into the emergency clinic by a woman who just wanted him put to sleep. She said he had "fallen down some stairs and hurt himself" and was just too much trouble. His injuries included broken ribs and he had to be put on oxygen. The injuries suggested much more than just a fall. The clinic staff had the woman sign a release and they administered emergency care. Now Dr. O was calling to see if I could help him find a home. I told him I'd call Diane and be right back in touch with him and when I reached her she simply said, "When can I go get him?" The next day we saw Max for the first time and it was love at first sight…for all of us!!
Max was without question the most loving creature I have ever known in my life. He loved life, and he loved everyone he met. He seemed to know that every day was a gift he almost missed out on and his love knew no good day or bad day, he just always loved. When Diane had her stroke Max would sit and listen as I told him how worried I was about her and what we needed to do to make her better. I snuck him into the hospital one day and I'm convinced when Diane saw how happy he was to see her she started improving on the spot!! When she came home he was always there with her. Always. He was Diane's companion in the garden during the day where he'd lay for hours while she planted and weeded. He was on the mat next to the tub whenever she took a hot bath and every night he slept at her feet on the bed. When the grandkids were over he'd make a point of licking them all and letting them hug him. When we had parties at the house he'd always be in the middle of it, eyes on the floor waiting for someone to drop something, which they always managed to do!! When I napped, he napped with me. All I had to do is pretend to yawn, and he would beat me to the bed! And more times than not when I sat at this desk in my office at home he'd be on his pillow beside me, when he wasn't with Diane. Unending love for those that had given him a second chance.
Today, the week of his 14th birthday, Max suffered a seizure that blinded and paralyzed him and we lost him. It would be bad enough if we had just lost our dog, but we lost so much more than that. We lost what was good in life. Let's face it, times are tough. There's not much on the news to cheer about. It's hard at work, it's hard making ends meet, it's hard getting older. People seem more interested in yelling at each other and criticizing each other than they do helping each other and loving each other. Max was that in our lives. He was the constant reminder that just being alive and loving those around you mattered more than all the nonsense. What you did and what you made paled in comparison to how you loved. I will, for a long time, desperately miss that. But I will forever be grateful for the love story we shared with Max. God Bless you old bear.

Goodbye to our dear friend, Max
Please Enter Your Comments Below
Loss of a dear Pet
Rick, I can sympathize with you. About 5 years ago I lost my precious Papillon. He was my best buddy. And I still miss him. Linda M.
We understand your pain
Dear Rick and Diane, we totally understand the pain you are going through. The loss of a four footed fur child is a heartache deep in your soul. These little creatures that God lets us look after are so precious and dear. We lost our beloved cocker spaniel, Annie, over 12 years ago and I still miss her. I used to bring her into my office at KOSI when I had to work on the week-ends. We have Julie, our 11 year old silky terrier, and know one day we will have to give her back to God, too. It never gets easy. Our love and prayers to you both. Debbie and Jeff Jones
Goodbye Max
Rick and Diane, Just the fact that you called him "Max, the Wonder Dog" says it all. I loved hearing about him. Our pets are our children, too. They give us unconditional love and listen to us long after others stop. Max picked good parents. "Please God, let me be the person my dog thinks I am." Ellen Hughes
Dear Rick, I'm very sorry to hear of your loss. Small creatures take up big spaces in our hearts. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. Andrew Paschetto
It's very difficult to lose a pet as they are family.No matter how long they are with us or a very short time. We always have memories of all of them that we've enjoyed and loved.
Deepest Sympathy
Oh, Rick, I'm crying with you - our fur babies are such a light in our lives! So very sorry for your loss, we have been there as well and it is a kind of hurt that takes over our lives for a while. Know that all of your loyal listeners are thinkingand praying for you and Diane in this! What a beautiful tribute to Max you have written - how lucky you were have to him, and how lucky he was to have you! Brenda, David, Sara and Alex in Lakewood
I understand how you feel. My little 19 year old Smoky (Shih Tzu) has good and bad days. He came from abused home, but all he wants to do is love everyone and he is loved. I understand your feelings and you are in my prayers. Max was blessed to have you and remember all the good times. Claudia and Roy Denver
So Very Sorry
Rick , Diane and the rest of your family, I am so very sorry for your loss. I do what you are going through. After 12 years of unconditional love, I had to put my Keiki Kone (my Maltese) to sleep becuase he was so sick and had a seisure also. I held him while the vet inserted the needle and continued to hold him a long time after that. He was a very special partner for me and to this day I miss him terribly. May you start to just remember the good times with Max and may God be with you and your family during this period of sorrow. Sincerely, Joyce Franklin
Our furry babies
Hi Rick~ It was one week after you lost Max that I wrote in to tell you I lost my gorgeous sweet kitty Lumpy on Sunday March 18. I couldn't even bring myself to read this blog until today. Such a beautiful and loving tribute. It was so nice to read about someone else who has such love for their four-legged furry baby, as I do. Losing our pet children leaves a hole in our hearts and makes us feel like our whole world has been shaken. Max was so loved and lucky to have you and Diane to share his life with. It's so nice to hear your talk about Ozzie, new life and puppy breath. Thanks for sharing your life with us and allowing us to share our lives with you. Bless you Rick. Sally in Englewood
Max the Wonder Dog
My Lhasa Kaylea and I were fortunate to meet Max and you several years ago at a dog event at a Aurora pet store. Max was such a sweet dog. He has a very similar personality as my Lhasa. I know how hard it is when a beloved pet dies. Kaylea passed away in 2004. She was such a treasure to me and is greatly missed. God Bless you Rick and Diane. Sincerely, Diane B, Aurora

|Submaximal exercise in emphysema and malnutrition at two levels of carbohydrate and fat intake.
MedLine Citation:
|PMID: 2793699 Owner: NLM Status: MEDLINE
|Eight malnourished patients with emphysema (EMPH) and eight malnourished patients without evidence of lung disease (MLAN) received an infusion of 5% dextrose plus electrolytes (D5W) for 48 h and were then randomly assigned to a hypercaloric diet with either 53% of the calories as carbohydrate (CB) or with 55% as fat (FB) for the 1st wk, maintaining a constant protein intake. The alternate diet was given the following week. Ventilation and gas exchange were measured during supine cycle ergometry at 0, 12, and 25 W during the D5W, CB, and FB diet periods. At each exercise intensity, the EMPH group demonstrated a 12-15% greater O2 consumption, a lower respiratory quotient, and an O2 debt larger than that of the MALN group. Resting ventilation was higher during the CB than FB regimen in both groups of patients, but during the CB diet the EMPH group had a more exaggerated ventilatory response than the MALN group. The results demonstrate that EMPH patients have an unusual metabolic pattern during hypercaloric feeding and exercise. Furthermore in EMPH patients a FB regimen does not appear to create the additional stress on the respiratory system during exercise that is generated with a CB regimen.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. -- A suspicious white powder found in vehicles at Virginian Arms Apartments brought out the Jacksonville Sheriff's Office bomb squad and the Jacksonville Fire and Rescue Department Wednesday afternoon.
The apartments are located in the 2500 block of Jammes Road.
A resident called JSO around 11 a.m. to report that some cars had been vandalized, according to JSO Lt. Michael Eason. Hazmat and bomb squad teams responded when white powder was found on the cars.
JSO and JFRD also secured another vehicle in a second undisclosed location.
The powder was tested and found to be not hazardous. The teams are not certain what the powder is, but they know it is not harmful, Eason said.

Great episode!
Shame on eclectik for throwing shade at Gargoyles, it was one of the better and mature shows of the 90's. It had long-running story arcs, their characters were allowed grow and we saw their depths, constantly referenced everything from history, Shakespeare, and mythology, touched on serious topics (Racism, the futlity of revenge, etc) without being heavy-handed (keep in mind this was all in the 90's, where the soft music would start playing whenever there was a "MESSAGE!!!!!!!"), not to mention terrific voice acting, terrific writing, and complex and interesting villains (David Xanatos, Thailog, Demona, Macbeth, the Weird sisters, and Oberon).
All in all, pretty dope tv show. Sorry if I went overboard, I'm a huge fan of Gargoyles and anything Greg Weisman is connected with.
P.S. in terms of bad disney cartoons from that era, you forgot about the Mighty Ducks cartoon and Quack Pack (the huey, dewey, louie cartoon where they were living with Donald, but there was no Uncle Scrooge.)
Listened to this one today. Brought back some great memories! I loved the Disney afternoon.
For me it goes 1) DuckTales 2) Rescue Rangers 3) The Rest. I watched all of them but it was mostly DuckTales and Rescue Rangers. Those were my 2 favorites by far. Love those NES games too. DuckTales is one of my absolute favorite NES games.
TOTALLY forgot about the Junior Woodchuck Guidebook too. Hilarious!
Great, loooong episode guys! A really fun listen and thanks for the shoutout at the end there! :D

'Silver' program rumored to make Android premium, take on Apple
One thing lacking for Android is a proper place in retail. Though various OEMs have store signage or kiosks, with Samsung offering a robust "Experience" in Best Buy stores, Google's Android doesn't have a place. Apple has a well established retail presence, but has both the space and identity for such a move. 'Android Silver' is a widely rumored program that would give the platform needed presence and notoriety, but is it the right thing for Android?

Wanting some holistic strategies to enhance your performance? Check out the "One Shot One Kill (OSOK) Performance Enhancement Program" that shows Warfighters how to set up and manage their own performance-enhancement system. OSOK is designed not only to enhance performance but also to jumpstart Warfighter resilience. It builds on the skills that Warfighters already possess and then teaches new ones as needed.
There are two ways you can use OSOK: as an individual through "OSOK Solo" and as a unit/group through "OSOK-IP Unit." Both highlight "10 Rules of Engagement" and provide seven core modules: Controlled Response, Mind Tactics, Performance-Based Nutrition, Primal Fitness, Purpose, Code, and Recharge. OSOK also provides self-assessment forms so you can track your progress over time.
For other performance-enhancement programs and information about holistic (total) fitness, check out HPRC's Total Force Fitness domain.
On January 14, 2014 the Marine Corps released MARADMIN 010/14, which details the new requirements for the Marine Corps Embassy Security Group. Marines who want to travel the globe and provide security services for U.S. embassies and consulates now have to meet new, revised standards. Among other things, Marines must be at least 64 inches tall so they can adequately view all areas from Post One (point of entry control at diplomatic posts). In addition, physical fitness standards have changed: Marines will have to achieve 1st Class PFT scores. If you haven't yet achieved this level of fitness, we have some tips. First and foremost, for optimal fitness, be sure to train smarter, not harder.
- Set S.M.A.R.T GOALS to keep track of your progress.
- Don't do too much too fast to prevent overtraining and prevent injury.
- Make good decisions about what you eat.
- Optimize your sleep and recovery to optimize performance.
Do milk products make you queasy, gassy, or—worse—send you running to the bathroom? If so, you might have lactose intolerance, a condition caused by a deficiency of lactase, an enzyme produced in the small intestine. Lactase breaks down lactose, a naturally occurring sugar present in milk and milk products.
Symptoms of lactose intolerance include nausea, gas, cramping, and diarrhea and usually occur 30 minutes to two hours after eating milk products. Anyone (at any age) can develop lactose intolerance, but it's more common among adults of African, American Indian, Asian, Jewish, or Mexican heritage. People who have digestive diseases such as Crohn's disease, ulcerative colitis, or celiac disease are more likely to be lactose intolerant too.
Some people with lactose intolerance have to avoid all milk products, but others can handle small amounts of cultured milk products such as yogurt, kefir, or buttermilk. If you think you have lactose intolerance, experiment with milk products to see what you can handle.
Many processed foods (including MREs) contain milk products, so learn to be label-savvy: Look for words on food packages that indicate a product might have milk or milk products such as whey, curds, milk byproducts, dry milk solids, and nonfat dry milk powder. Missing your ice cream? Over-the-counter enzyme products can help you tolerate lactose-containing foods if taken with the first bite of food.
Don't confuse lactose intolerance with milk allergy, an immune response to casein or whey, two proteins found in milk. Symptoms of milk allergy are typically mild and include:
- Runny nose, sneezing, or shortness of breath
- Swollen lips, tongue, or throat
- Rash, hives, or itchy skin
However, severe milk allergy can cause anaphylaxis, a serious, life-threatening condition that requires immediate medical attention. People with severe milk allergy should read labels carefully to avoid all milk products.
Of course, limiting or avoiding milk products could put you at greater risk of developing osteoporosis or "brittle bones." That's because milk products contain calcium, an essential nutrient for healthy bones. Look for other calcium-rich foods such as dark-green leafy vegetables, almonds, beans, shellfish, or calcium-fortified juices, soymilk, or almond milk.
To learn more about lactose intolerance, read this informative article from the National Digestive Diseases Information Clearinghouse.
There's an old adage you may have heard: "Eat after eight, put on weight." And maybe you've experienced it first-hand: You noticed that eating those late night pizzas and ice cream really packed on the pounds. But was your weight gain due to timing or just the high calorie counts? According to research in the field of circadian rhythms (CRs)—the 24-hour cycle of your body's biological, hormonal, and behavioral patterns—it seems that when you eat could be just as important to weight gain as what you eat.
Deep within your brain sits a small cluster of nerve cells—a "master clock" of sorts—that's responsible for orchestrating your CRs. Each biological system in your body works on a different CR schedule, and the master clock keeps all the schedules in sync. For example, CRs influence your body's production of the hormones that regulate hunger, as well as how your body uses and stores fats and sugar, ultimately influencing your body weight, performance, and overall health. Other hormones, such as the ones that tell you when you're full, are switched on or off according to a variety of inputs.
The two greatest influences on how well your master clock is able to keep things in sync are light and food. Light tells your brain how much sleep you get (think: eyes closed, less light). Food (smell, taste, and consumption) tells your body to produce a myriad of chemicals. As a result, staying up late at night, working shifts, and eating at all hours of the day and night—whether voluntarily or due to the demands of overseas deployments, training demands, shift-work schedules, and even parenthood—can play havoc with your circadian rhythms.
In an interesting twist, not only do CRs influence hunger and body weight, but excess body fat and/or a high-fat diet may disrupt CRs. This can lead to further weight gain, culminating in a collection of health problems known as "metabolic syndrome." In the U.S., regular loss of sleep closely parallels the occurrence of metabolic syndrome. In addition, researchers have found that people who sleep less or have poor-quality sleep are more likely to become obese.
What to do? Make a conscious effort to "normalize" your daily routines as much as possible to maintain regular mealtimes. Whether you choose to eat three regular-sized meals or four to six smaller meals a day, space them out through the daylight hours to take advantage of your body's natural rhythms. Here are some suggestions to avoid eating late at night:
- Try to eat a balanced dinner at least two hours before you go to bed, and take a walk afterwards when possible.
- Sip on soothing herbal tea or flavored water (without sugar).
- Be aware that watching TV (especially food-related ads) can trigger your desire to eat.
- Sometimes it can help to create new nighttime rituals that don't involve eating, such as light stretching or yoga, taking a warm bath, listening to soothing music, or reading (or listening to) a book.
But if you find yourself up late at night—whether it's due to a hard day at work, regular shiftwork, or temporary shifts due to jet lag or an infant's night feedings—resist the urge to snack out of boredom or to "keep your energy up." Shift workers should pack or purchase a healthy meal to eat during their work hours—one that includes lean protein and complex carbohydrates such as whole grains, fruits, and vegetables. Eat early in the shift if possible, so you'll have the energy you need to think and move efficiently. Travelers and parents should look for healthy snacks that follow a similar pattern. And try to limit coffee, tea, and other sources of caffeine to just two to four servings a day.
Of course, eating is just one half of the CR equation. Getting enough sleep is important too, so read HPRC's overview for great tips on how Warfighters can improve their sleep.
The Nutrition Facts panel on a food label can be a Warfighter's best friend when trying to decide what to eat for optimal performance. That's because it provides you all the information you need to compare the nutritional content and value of foods and make good choices for your health and performance.
The Nutrition Facts label answers these questions about a food:
- How big is a serving?
- How many calories does it have?
- Does it contain nutrients that I should get less (or more) of?
- How does it fit into my overall nutrition goals?
- What percentage of key nutrients does it provide?
For tips on how to use and understand the information on a Nutrition Facts label, check out this easy guide from the Food and Drug Administration. Although label reading can be challenging at first, with practice you'll become an expert at using the Nutrition Facts label as a helpful tool for following a healthy, balanced diet.
Holiday parties provide opportunities to relax and enjoy good food and good times with family, friends, and colleagues. But they also can derail your weight and fitness goals. Buffet tables laden with calorie-rich treats and beverages can weaken the resolve of even the most committed folks. To keep yourself on track, remember these tips:
- Never go to a party hungry. Eat a protein-rich food before you go. Protein foods tell your brain that you're satisfied and help you avoid overindulging. Low-fat milk or yogurt or a handful of nuts are great choices.
- Follow the MyPlate strategies for filling your party plate: Fill half your plate with fruits and vegetables then fill the rest with whole grains and lean protein such as fish or chicken.
- Choose wine over fancy mixed drinks or beer, and be sure to drink in moderation: one drink for women and two drinks for men. Sip slowly to make your drink last through the evening.
- If it's a potluck, you really are in luck. Offer to bring a healthy salad or entrée, and fill your plate with your own delicious creation.
- Don't waste your calories (and taste buds) on desserts that you don't absolutely love. Choose your favorite and then share it with a friend. You'll eat slower while you and your friend chat, and cherish the moment as much as the sweet!
In a 1960s TV cartoon series, George Jetson of The Jetsons simply popped a pill when he wanted to eat. "Dinner in a pill" was promised as the food of the future. So why hasn't technology delivered on its promise? Simply put, no dietary supplement can reproduce the aromas, flavors, textures, or nutritional value of oven-roasted turkey, crusty, fresh-baked bread, juicy ripe pineapple, fragrant hot tea, or any other wholesome, delicious, performance-enhancing real food or beverage. And substituting dietary supplements for real food won't help performance either – check out our video here. So skip supplements—not meals. To learn more about how real foods should come before dietary supplements, check out HPRC's article in Operation Supplement Safety (OPSS).
The phrase "Garbage in, garbage out" was coined first by computer experts back in the 1960s. Since then, the phrase has gained a wider usage—even to the world of performance nutrition. Providing your body with high-quality fuels and nutrients is crucial to optimizing your performance. Like the poorly fueled runner in HPRC's video, you're likely to find that a diet of high-fat or sugary foods and drinks ("garbage in") produces less than optimal results ("garbage out"). Instead, choose wholesome foods such as lean meats and fish, fresh fruits and vegetables, whole grains, and low-fat dairy products, which provide high-quality fuels and nutrients.
Do you have a "snack drawer"? Most people do, whether it's in their office desk, gym locker, backpack, or family minivan. Snacking can be an important part of a healthy lifestyle, preventing late-afternoon vending machine runs or mealtime overeating and providing crucial nutrients prior to workouts or missions. Snacking can also ambush otherwise healthy eating plans, so it's important to choose snacks wisely.
Ideally, your snack drawer should be stocked with a variety of protein and carbohydrate snacks to meet your needs during the day. A healthy snack provides 100 to 300 calories, depending on your weight and activity level.
Opt for lean-protein choices such as water-packed tuna (the kind in packets fit easily into a backpack, briefcase, or purse), peanut butter, and dry-roasted nuts such as walnuts, almonds, or pistachios. If you have a fridge available, boiled eggs (up to one week) or single-serving cups of hummus, cottage cheese, or Greek-style yogurt are great choices.
Healthy-carbohydrate options include instant oatmeal or grits, whole-grain crackers, and dried fruit. Choices for the fridge include fresh fruit and veggies—a great way to get the recommended amounts you need each day.
Take advantage of snack time to add some hydration to your day. Water (flavored ones can make drinking water more appealing), milk, soymilk, and almond milk are great choices. Herbal teas provide a caffeine-free alternative. Of course, juicy fruits such as watermelon, oranges, and kiwis are terrific too.
Being prepared can help you make good choices the next time a snack attack hits. But don't forget about food safety: Be sure to keep an eye on expiration dates and toss things when they're past their prime. For more information about healthy snacking, read these informative tips from MedlinePlus.
Spices add flavor and color to many foods. But did you know they also might improve your performance while offering you protection from many diseases, including heart disease and cancer?
Your body's cells continuously produce large quantities of what scientists call "free radicals"—highly reactive molecules that can damage cells. Ordinarily, your cells also produce antioxidants to neutralize these free radicals. But exercise, stress, and environmental pollutants can cause an imbalance between your body's antioxidants and its free radicals. That's where spices can come into play.
Not only do spices such as cinnamon, allspice, oregano, and turmeric (and others) demonstrate high antioxidant activity, scientists think they might actually help your body produce its own antioxidants. Some research suggests that eating spices as part of a diet rich in whole grains, fruits, and vegetables can prevent inflammation (a key player in the development of many diseases) and protect your body's cells from damage caused by free radicals.
Get creative! Sprinkle a little cinnamon over your morning oatmeal, add a bit of allspice to a post-workout recovery shake, or stir some oregano or turmeric into your vegetable soup. A little bit goes a long way. Not only will you get a boost of flavor, you just might take a step toward better health and performance.

The Classic has become part of my life now. I am 57 years old and began my music addiction with what is now called "Vintage Stereo Equipment" (most hand built in Japan). This equipment is still in most cases superior to anything available today and many older pieces are being restored and sold in preference to modern Chinese offerings. I have gone through Lps, and 45's, CD's (originally advertised as immune to scratches), and now learn that many audiophiles directly connect their computers to their 70's gear and play it that way.
Others like me transferred 30 years of music onto their iPod. Actually it was a blessing because radio has become so specific that I hadn't heard anything new other than Rap (Yuech!) etc since 1985. I found about 20 years of great music on iTunes which I purchased, and even with the relatively low audio quality it was often superior to that of many older albums and with some of my equipment even that was fixable.
I can't describe the delight and amaxement to have my whole, or almost whole library on a small device like the iPod. Most of you younger people are used to lousy stuff like 3 dollar computer speakers and Apple ear buds.If you love music you need to hear it live or have great equipment.
But from the very beginning you could see the iPod's death. Why? Because it involved no monthly fee. This has always been the goal of these technical marvels. TV's were losers because after they sold the TV programming was free and the providers had to sell advertising. Apple as a company almost died from being greedy; wanting to own both the device, operating system and programs.Microsoft and IBM made money by licensing their designs etc.
The Cloud is worthless to me as it's free storage is small and I have no portable device that needs it, nor do I want one. I'm retired and bored and so used to do surveys, Apple ran survey after survey hoping that everyone would go to an iPhone, but a lot of people want their phone a phone.
I looked at the touch, but the programming was very different from the iPod and totally inappropriate both in design and capacity for music. Predictably, Apple has been forcing the music people out. First it was no more games, and hey some were fun, if I really want to play I go onto my computer or the xBox.., next was the end of the 180 g, and now the end of the games and soon the Classic. I have two spares, and my LP collection, so at some point I will just be forced out as a customer of Apple.
Instead of this craziness, why not make a really great entertainment device with flash or harddrive storage, clickwheel or whatever, I could care less... if it works, and I don't have to pay a monthly fee and control my own software. Make it great for music and games and pictures. A click out click in battery would be great for watching movies or playing games.

What Sabres might be on the move, and why is Lindy Ruff Still coaching?
Some info on two players that might be on their way out of Buffalo and the reason why Lindy Ruff will not be fired…for now at least.
Miroslav Satan and my main man Vaclav Varada are two players that might be on the move out of Buffalo. The Buffalo News recently asked Miro Satan if he wants to stay in Buffalo for the long haul and his reply was, "Those are the questions I don't like to answer. I don't know what to tell you." He certainly has been playing like someone who has his foot in the door. Last year he was the team leader in goals with 37 and had a career high point total of 73. So far this year he has been horrible. He has 5 goals and 16 points in 21 games. When Satan wants to play he certainly can, but he has always been a streaky player in Buffalo. There has been no word as to where Satan might go.
Vaclav Varada, on the other hand, has voiced that he is unhappy with the amount of playing time he has gotten in Buffalo. He hasn't asked for a trade, but he has hinted at the idea of "play me or trade me." He said he would be more than happy to play with the New York Rangers, but if he is shipped it will probably be to a Western Conference team.
So everyone knows that Lindy Ruff is a terrible coach and needs to be fired. His glory days in Buffalo are over and his team owns the worst record in the NHL. So, one may ask, why have two coaches that had a better record than the Sabres get fired? Well, because those teams have enough money to hire a new coach. If the Sabres were to fire Lindy Ruff, they would need to pay him the remainder of his salary which is $600,000. This is not a team that can pay for two coaches at once. Maybe after the new owner steps in we will see a coaching change, and of course a name that we keep hearing is Ted Nolan. The media is mixed about Nolan coming back, but the fans would sure love to see him back. This year is over for the Sabres already. All we are playing for now is the first overall pick. (But they'll find a way to screw that up too.)

On behalf of Dodgeballin' For Kids, I am proud to announce the third annual event was a huge success! We had a tremendous turnout. Financially we are still calculating totals but have broken the $6,500 mark. There were nearly 1,200 in attendance while 250 players took the courts from as far as Florida, Virginia, Maryland, New York, New Hampshire, and surrounding cities and towns. We also had five special guests referred to as the 'Smash Brothers" (New England Patriot Stars: Stevan Ridley, Ryan Mallet, Brandon Bolden, Jerod Mayo, Alfonzo Dennard) who took the court to play six games at random, against dodgeball players of all ages.
Stevan Ridley and I teamed up a month before the event to make this year a special one. As the Boston Marathon tragedy occurred before the event, we decided since we are Dodgeballin' For Kids, we would donate a large portion of this year's proceeds to the "children" who were affected from the bombing. Other beneficiaries from the event include: The Children's Museum of Greater Fall River, Boys & Girls Club, YMCA, and The Fall River Middle School Sports Program.

Former New Orleans Saints Punter Gets 7 Years for Scam
AUSTIN, Texas (WGNO) – A former Saints Punter is set to spend more than seven years in federal prison.
Russell Erxleben was sentenced Monday for running a series of foreign trading scams that reaped $2 million over four years.
But this isn't a first for the 57-year-old. Back in 1999, he was sentenced to seven years for a scam that cost investors $36 million.

Yes the Boston Celtics lack a guy in the middle that can protect the rim. They do have one of the best young rebounding big men in Jared Sullinger though. Is Sully the center of the future? I don't think so, he lacks height, length to get the job done. His wide body on the other hand is worthy of a center, but he's often scored over against opposing centers. Stevens wants a guy who can protect the paint, and that guy won't be Sullinger.
ESPN Boston
"I haven't thought a ton about it," Stevens said at the time. "I think, certainly, in an ideal situation, what you're looking for are certain qualities as a team. A rim protector, whether it's a 7-footer or not, is extremely important in this league. A guy that really protects the rim from the dotted line in."
If he wasn't thinking about it much then, Stevens is thinking about it now. Amid Boston's recent defensive regression, Stevens admitted Saturday that he thinks about possible lineup combinations "every minute of every day." What's more, he wondered out loud if his team's performance this season might be different if it employed a serviceable rim protector.
"I'd be really curious to know, or to see from a defensive standpoint systematically, plugging one guy in there, what that might do to our numbers being where we are in a lot of different areas," said Stevens.
In this era, it's unclear if the Celtics need a guy protecting the rim to win. Perkins wasn't a guy who was going to block your shot each time down the floor. He was more of a force. A guy that intimidated you. KG was also a guy who wasn't a big shot blocker, but he was a guy that bothered you inside. Sullinger is neither of those things for Boston. I don't know how the Celtics will fix this problem. Who's out there that they can get? I don't know, you tell me.

5 Careers That Are Quickly Dying Out
Getting a solid apprenticeship or a college education is almost always a good idea for anyone traveling down the career path. The problem arises when you have to decide between several different options. While anyone with a strong skill set (blue- or white-collar) should be fairly employable, it's just a basic fact that some vocations are more in demand these days than others. It often depends on where, and especially when, you live.

|Hike Distance
On November 16, 1931, the first long span suspension bridge in the state of Maine, the Waldo-Hancock Bridge, was opened.
During rehabilitation work started in 2000, it was determined that the bridge could not be saved. In 2003 construction began on a replacement for the ailing structure. The new bridge, called the Penobscot Narrows, will be the first cable stayed bridge in the State of Maine. The unique design will feature a three floor observation deck at the top of the west tower. This will be the first bridge in the country, and only the third in the world with this feature.
This letterbox was placed to commemorate the first public walk over of the Penobscot Narrows bridge on October 14, 2006.
Follow Route 1 onto Verona Island. At the bend in the road there is a small state picinic area (the sign is currently missing). There is a parking lot in the back.
Locate Admiral Perry's ship "Roosevelt".
Go to the canopy picinic table the ship is pointing to.
From the table proceed 15 steps towards a small, round evergreen infront of the stone wall.
Look for a small flat rock protruding from the wall. Remove the rock and find your prize. Replace stones EXACTLY how they were to help the next letterboxer.
Enjoy your views of the "old" bridge and the "new" bridge while they reside side by side.

About equidistant from Palma and Valldemossa, this restored estate house—parts of which date back to 1672—is one of Majorca's most luxurious hotels. A cluster of detached suites have private pools, hot tubs, fireplaces, and classic-modern furnishing in muted tones of beige and brown. Rooms in the main building can be over the top—lots of red and rosy pink—but the bathrooms are truly palatial. Poplars and palms shade the terrace above the 30-meter infinity pool, with its cabanas and luxurious changing rooms; the view from here, of the village of Puigpunyent and the countryside below, likely make this the best pool terrace on the island. Son Net's restaurant, Oleum, set in an ancient olive mill, is open to the public: an ideal showcase for chef Sergio Olmedo's Continental–Mallorcan cuisine (tasting menus are €55 and €69; with matching wines, €80 and €105). The hotel makes its own quite drinkable wines from vineyards on the property.

Buncombe County Schools Teacher of the Year Terry Quick poses with former student Cole Roy at the district's annual banquet.
- Filed Under
Asheville City and Buncombe County school systems both named their teachers of the year Tuesday night at the districts' annual banquets.
