What is acpi?
"In computing, the Advanced Configuration and Power Interface (ACPI) specification provides an open standard for device configuration and power management by the operating system." (Wikipedia)
What is acpid?
"ACPID is a completely flexible, totally extensible daemon for delivering ACPI events. It listens on a file (
/proc/acpi/event) and when an event occurs, executes programs to handle the event. The programs it executes are configured through a set of configuration files, which can be dropped into place by packages or by the admin." (acpid Sourceforge)
Preparing to install
Kernel configuration
Before we are ready to emerge acpid, it is a good idea to modify a few things in the kernel. If you have not modified your kernel before, you may want to check out the following page on configuring a kernel manually (page to be added..).
Optional: Other ACPI features
Below are the locations and short descriptions of the function of different ACPI options in the kernel. In the majority of cases, you do not have to alter any of these to have a functional ACPI system.
- AC Adapter
If you have a system that can switch between being plugged into AC and using a battery (i.e. a laptop), you should compile this option into your kernel.
- Battery
As its name would suggest, this option adds or removes support for the battery. More specifically, through /proc/acpi/battery. If you have a laptop or other mobile system, you should probably compile this into your kernel.
- Button
This driver handles power, sleep, and other buttons. This driver is recommended because it is necessary for software controlled power-off.
- Video
Implements ACPI extensions for integrated graphics devices. Also adds support for setting up a video output.
- Fan
Allows user-controlled applications to control fan speeds and access status of fans.
- Dock
Builds support in the kernel for docking stations like the Dell Module Bay and the IBM Ultrabay.
- Processor
Helps save power while processor is idling and is required by several cpufreq drivers.
- Processor Aggregator
Allows the host system to practice logical processor idling (a way to reduce power consumption)
- Thermal Zone
Enables support for ACPI thermal zones. It is encouraged to enable this option, as your system may be damaged without it.
Installing acpid
After configuring the kernel power management options, we are ready to install Package:ACPI Daemon. To install acpid, run the following command:
# emerge acpid
Adding to rc
After you have finished emerging acpid, you may want to add it to the list of rc services to be started with your system at boot.
# rc-update add acpid default
Then, run the following to start acpid:
# rc

The US Environmental Protection Agency
(EPA) issued the Mobile Source Toxics (MSAT) Rule on February
26, 2007 (40 CFR Parts 59, 80, 85 and 86). This rule
required refiners to reduce the average benzene concentration
in the gasoline pool to 0.62 vol% or less by January 1, 2011.
Refiners producing higher levels could reduce their
concentration by purchasing credits, but they are capped at a
maximum actual average concentration of 1.3 vol%.

Engineers and designers are highly skilled individuals. Forcing them to enter design changes using tables, forms and spreadsheets is unproductive and uneconomical, and it increases the likelihood of human error—this is the way that most instrumentation software systems currently work. For too long, software vendors have denied engineers and designers the simple practicality of a graphical visual engineering interface with "drag and drop" capability and inbuilt intelligence, ensuring changes are automatically replicated into all the associated data and databases.

text: The Silver Seas, formerly The Bees (U.S.), are a pop-rock band from Nashville, Tennessee, that formed when producer Jason Lehning met singer-songwriter Daniel Tashian, son of Barry and Holly Tashian. The band toured as an opening act for Guster in 2004 after the independent release of their debut album, Starry Gazey Pie. Their follow-up, High Society, appeared in early 2006. On May 2, 2007, it was announced that The Bees had signed to the Los Angeles-based label Cheap Lullaby, which intended to reissue High Society. However, copyright issues, namely that a UK band were also using the name The Bees (they''re known as A Band of Bees in the States), forced Nashville''s Bees to change their moniker, hence The Silver Seas. Under this new name, Cheap Lullaby reissued High Society on October 9, 2007. The Silver Seas have received high marks from the media: Metromix gave High Society a "Pick" rating and mentioned that they had the reputation as "one of the best unsigned bands in their hometown of Nashville," and magazine Performing Songwriter said of High Society that the band had "made the catchiest album of the year". High Society was also nominated at the 7th Annual Independent Music Awards for best pop/rock album of the year.

There are very few entertainers that have been in the news more than Lindsay Lohan, and it has rarely been in a good way. Lindsay has had a series of tumultuous relationships with both men and women, she has allegedly had a drug and alcohol problem, and some may claim she is a kleptomaniac. And add parents who appear to be more focused on getting and keeping their name in the news than helping their daughter and you have the perfect storm of dysfunction.
So what would Jesus say to this beautiful young lady who one may argue has committed every "sin" in the book and seems set on destroying her life? Well, I hesitate to speak for Him, but I guess that He would simply ask her one question. And that question may be, "Lindsay, what or who are you looking for?" And her answer would tell Him what he already knew...she is looking for unconditional love and acceptance. Oh, she wouldn't come right out and say it, but Jesus would quickly see deep into her answer, because He is the ultimate therapist (He also knows her parents). When you read the New Testament you find that Jesus always had a way of getting to the heart of the mater.
You see that is why Lindsay is having so many problem in her life. It is the reason that I have had many of the problems that I have had and you have had in your life. Think about the times in your life that you were out of control and making one mistake after another. For some of you reading this you may be thinking, "I'm there now!" So, what or who are you looking for? If you were like me and Lindsay you were looking for something to fill that hole in your heart, soul, and life. Someone or something comes into all of our lives and damages our heart and soul. And then we go in search of something or someone else that can repair that damage. We need that hole in our heart and life to be filled...to be filled with hope, love, and acceptance!
I know what I'm about to say is going to sound strange to some of you so don't stop reading right after you read the next sentence. I believe that hole in all of our lives is a God shaped hole. We can try to fit all kinds of things into it, but only God will fit. In my experience, He is the only one that offers what we all, especially entertainers like Lindsay, crave and that is unconditional love and acceptance. I will elaborate on what that means in future posts, but think about it and at least give my theory the benefit of your doubts. And let me conclude with the one thing that I do know that Jesus would say to Lindsay Lohan...I love you.

Why a Reformed Bible College at Ligonier?: Because Time Is Too Precious for Education Based on Historical Novelties

Making Molehills Out of Mountains
from R.C. Sproul May 05, 2010 Category: Tabletalk MagazineThe crisis regarding the doctrine of justification that provoked the Protestant Reformation in the sixteenth century has not yet been resolved. Thus, the Reformation is by no means over. The dispute over justification that split the church back then threatens to fracture contemporary, evangelical Christianity. At issue during the Reformation was the relationship of justification to sanctification. It was a question of the order of salvation. The difference is not a tempest in a teapot; it's one by which salvation itself is defined. Keep Reading
Set Apart to Live and Die
from Burk Parsons May 04, 2010 Category: Tabletalk MagazineWhen Christ calls a man, He bids him come and die." Dietrich Bonhoeffer was about thirty years old when he penned these words in his classic work The Cost of Discipleship. Eight years later he was executed for his crimes against the Third Reich. The prison doctor who witnessed Bonhoeffer's execution wrote, "In the almost fifty years that I worked as a doctor, I have hardly ever seen a man die so entirely submissive to the will of God." The doctor's words could not have been more appropriate to describe not only the manner in which Bonhoeffer submitted himself to God in death but also the manner in which he submitted himself to God in life. In his life and at his death, Bonhoeffer grasped one crucial truth: To be set apart to God is to be set apart to die, to die to sin, to self, and to life itself — to take up our crosses daily and to live unto Christ and embrace the true freedom that only comes when Christ calls a man to die and live abundantly in Him.

Exposing the Permissive Will of God
from R.C. Sproul May 02, 2010 Category: R.C. SproulThe distinction between the sovereign will of God and the permissive will of God is fraught with peril and tends to generate untold confusion. In ordinary language, the term permission suggests some sort of positive sanction. To say that God "allows" or "permits" evil does not mean that He sanctions it in the sense that He approves of it. It is easy to discern that God never permits sin in the sense that He sanctions it in His creatures. Keep Reading
Examining the Preceptive Will of God
from R.C. Sproul May 01, 2010 Category: R.C. SproulThe preceptive will of God relates to the revealed commandments of God's published law. When God commands us not to steal, this decree does not carry with it the immediate necessity of consequence. Where it was not possible for the light to refuse to shine in creation, it is possible for us to refuse to obey this command. In a word, we steal. Keep Reading

God's Dupes?
from Ravi Zacharias Apr 29, 2010 Category: Tabletalk MagazineIs the Christian faith intellectual nonsense? Are Christians deluded? "If God exists and takes an interest in the affairs of human beings, his will is not inscrutable," writes Sam Harris about the 2004 tsunami in Letter to a Christian Nation. "The only thing inscrutable here is that so many otherwise rational men and women can deny the unmitigated horror of these events and think this is the height of moral wisdom" (p. 48). In his article "God's Dupes," Harris argues, "Everything of value that people get from religion can be had more honestly, without presuming anything on insufficient evidence. The rest is self-deception, set to music" (The Los Angeles Times, March 15, 2007). Ironically, Harris' first book is entitled The End of Faith, but it should really be called "The End of Reason," as it demonstrates again that the mind that is alienated from God in the name of reason can become totally irrational.

The five remaining women of Tikiano return to camp after having just voted Tarzan out at Tribal Council. The women feel good about having outlasted the men and about the friendships they've made. Kim reveals, "Tomorrow, I'm going to wake up and I'm going to play as hard as I can and that's how I plan to finish the game.†Alicia is happy to have made it to the end with the women, but she does feel like she gave up a little of her power when she voted out Tarzan. Alicia says, "I'm very confident that Kim and I are going to stick together, as well as Christina and get rid of the next two girls, Chelsea and Sabrina.â€
TREE MAIL The next morning on day 37, Sabrina and Kim pick up tree mail and discuss how thrilled they are to still be in the game with only two days left. Sabrina would like to vote out Alicia next. Kim points out that the only person left in the game that could give them serious competition is Chelsea. Sabrina is surprised that Kim would even bring up Chelsea's name. Kim suggests that they take Christina to the end instead of Chelsea. Sabrina comments, "I would think that I'm the next likable person out here. So, if Chelsea wins immunity today, am I on the chopping block?†Sabrina decides to do her best in the immunity challenge today. Sabrina reads the tree mail to the tribe. Alicia hopes that Chelsea does not win immunity today, so she can vote her out. Alicia reveals, "For me to have any chance of winning a million dollars, she needs to go.â€
The final five castaways arrive on their mat. Host Jeff Probst explains the rules of this immunity challenge. The castaways will each race across a balance beam maze. If anyone falls off, then they go back to the start. They will then traverse across a giant rope net collecting five bags of puzzle pieces. Those pieces will be used to solve a puzzle. The puzzle will give them clues to three numbers. Once they have those numbers, they will race to the top of a platform and use those numbers to solve a combination lock. The first person to get it right wins immunity with has a one in four shot at the million-dollar prize. The losers will go to Tribal Council where one of them will be voted out. The first step of the challenge is to get through a gate, which leads them to the maze. Christina and Kim get through the gate first and start working their way through the maze. The remaining four join them on the maze shortly after. Christina and Kim both fall off the maze and go back to the start, which loses them a lot of time. Alicia and Chelsea make it through the maze first and start gathering their puzzle pieces on the net. Alicia makes the mistake of untying bags of puzzle pieces, which are not hers. Sabrina makes it on the net next. Chelsea collects all five of her bags first and starts working on her puzzle just as Kim and Christina finally get to the net. Sabrina, Kim and Alicia finish collecting their bags and start working on their puzzles next. So, Christina is the last to start on her puzzle. Kim solves her puzzle first and uses the clues it gives to try numbers on the combination box. Alicia is right behind her. Kim tries all combinations of the numbers, but can't solve the combination box, so she heads back down to double check her numbers. Alicia does the same. Sabrina and Christina are still having trouble with their puzzles. Kim, Alicia and now Chelsea head to the combination box and in the end Kim's solves it first and wins immunity for the third time.
As Tikiano returns to camp after the challenge, Kim is elated to have won. Kim admits, "I have so many options and things running around in my head that I feel like my head is about to explode.†She must carefully consider whom to vote out, since they could be a vote for or against her at the end. Chelsea and Kim take a walk and talk about the vote tonight. Chelsea recommends that they vote out Alicia. She knows that Kim is worried about Chelsea getting more votes than her. So, she tells Kim that she has played the game better than anyone else and that she will likely win it. Kim is touched by Chelsea's comments. Chelsea truly appreciates the support and loyalty that Kim has shown her throughout the 37 days. She is a little nervous about tonight's vote though and comments, "Hopefully she is not about to backstab me, but I don't think that's the case.†Kim has narrowed it down to voting out either Alicia or Chelsea tonight. Chelsea suggests that Kim give her the hidden immunity idol tonight, since she won't need it. Kim reveals, "I just have to be so careful about how I play tonight.†She doesn't want to come out with guns blazing and offend enough people to not win in the end. Kim then tells Sabrina to vote for Alicia and tells Alicia and Christina to vote for Chelsea. Alicia feels confident that Kim is telling her the truth about getting rid of Chelsea tonight. Alicia says, "Why in the hell would she want to sit next to Chelsea and Sabrina and have all those votes just split.†Now that she has updated everyone on whom to vote for, Kim admits, "I really could go either way at this point.â€
At Tribal Council, Alicia admits that was not a lot of scrambling back at camp after the immunity challenge. Chelsea agrees but points out that she still feels paranoid about the vote. She says, "To leave now would just suck.†Kim admits that it was a difficult afternoon for her, since she won immunity and has a big influence in the vote. Not only does she like the people left, but also she knows that her choice impacts the rest of the game and the jury. Kim admits that she wants to just play with her head, but her heart is getting in the way, since she has close emotional bonds with these people. Jeff gives them each a final chance to fight their case. Alicia and Sabrina feel secure and don't feel the need to comment. Christina says she trusts Kim. Chelsea tells Kim that she feels the jury will respect her more after the vote tonight. Kim agrees that the vote will influence the jury and adds, "At the end of the day, I have to make my own decision and let everyone else's voices go and remind myself of why I'm here.†The tribe then votes. Jeff reveals all five votes, which are two votes for Chelsea and three votes for Alicia. So, Alicia Rosa, the 25-year-old special ed teacher, from Chicago, IL, becomes the fourteenth person to be voted out of SURVIVOR: ONE WORLD and the eighth person to join the jury.
Kim apologizes to Christina for lying to her about their alliance. Christina realizes now that Kim was fooling her the whole time when she thought that her and Alicia were going to be in the final three with Kim. Christina says, "Right now I do feel like I on the outs but I could still have them convinced that having me as part of the final three would be a good call.†She knows that she would be less of a threat to take to the final three than the others. So, Christina isn't ready to give up yet. Kim and Chelsea agree that they would be upset if Christina wins immunity at the next challenge. Chelsea says, "I owe a ton to Kim, because I feel like tonight was all her.†Kim and Chelsea know they have to pick between Sabrina and Christina to join them in the final three. Chelsea admits that it would be easier to take Christina.
The next morning, Christina checks tree mail. She admits, "Today I have to win immunity.†Back at camp, Kim tells Sabrina that she does not want Christina to feel like she's going home if she doesn't win at the next challenge. Sabrina agrees. Christina brings tree mail into camp. Tree mail contains a map to find the torches of their fallen comrades. At each torch they will collect a representative nameplate of those who were voted out before them. At the end of the journey, they will burn them to pay their respects and will then proceed to their final immunity challenge. The final four make their way to the headland where they pay their respects to each of the castaways that had been voted out. After all of the representative nameplates have been collected, they offer them up at a ceremonial burning and prepare themselves for the final immunity challenge.
The final four enter the challenge and arrive on their mat. Host Jeff Probst explains the rules of the challenge. Each castaway will use a long pole to maneuver a small wooden bowl through a steel channel. When they get to the top of the channel, they will place the bowl on a platform and head back for the next bowl. To make it more difficult, the entire structure sits on a spring. So, if they touch it, it will wobble and the bowls may fall off the platform, which means they would have to start all over again. The first person to stack all ten of their bowls wins final immunity and the chance to go to the final Tribal Council to plead their case to win. Kim is the first one to get a bowl through the channel and on the platform. Christina is right behind her. Chelsea takes a lot of time to place her first bowl. Kim drops her third bowl and so has to go back to the start with that one. Christina now has the opportunity to catch Kim. Chelsea is one bowl behind them as she places her second bowl. Sabrina is lagging behind the others. Christina and Kim are now tied as they place their third bowls on the platform at the same time. Chelsea drops her third bowl and has to go back. Sabrina drops her second bowl and has to go back. Christina and Kim are still dead even as they place their eighth bowls. Only two more bowls to go. Chelsea is one bowl behind. Sabrina is only on her fifth bowl. In the end, Kim pulls out another win and gets a guaranteed spot at the final Tribal Council. Kim cries as the others congratulate her on the win.
As they return to camp, Kim is so happy to have won immunity. She admits, "To go tonight knowing that it's not me, it feels awesome.†Christina immediately comes up to Kim and asks her is she is going tonight. She'd rather know ahead of time then be blindsided. Kim tells her the plan is for her to go tonight. Christina is happy to have just made it to the final four and realizes that it is just a game. She reveals, "I feel like Kim, Sabrina and Chelsea have their decisions already made.†Christina decides to not cause chaos on her final day and just try to have it be peaceful. Kim finds Chelsea and tells her that she broke the news to Christina even though it is hard to not take her to the end. As she gets ready for Tribal Council, Kim admits, "I think I'm starting to second guess myself.†This Tribal Council will determine whom she sits with at the end and she knows that Christina would probably not get any votes. Kim reveals, "So I'm going to try to just make what I think is the best decision for myself in this game.â€
Kim tells Jeff Probst how calm it was back at camp after the immunity challenge. He is surprised to hear this and asks Sabrina to explain. She says, "I think everyone knew where the cards were laid out on the table and people just didn't see the need to scramble.†Christina then chimes in and says that she knows that she is the one going home tonight. She explains that she did not scramble since Kim, Sabrina and Chelsea have been a tight alliance since the beginning that she didn't feel was breakable. Christina does think she is more deserving than Sabrina who did not do well in the challenges and didn't make big decisions. Sabrina defends herself by saying that she was involved in the big decisions. She also wonders whether Christina was in the game to win, since she did not fight for herself today. Kim says she also would have made a strong argument to stay in the game if she were Christina. Since Christina is not a fighter, Kim feels she might not be a bad person to take to the end. Kim adds, "You have to weigh out your options at the end and things aren't always as clear as they seem.†The tribe then votes. Jeff reveals all four votes, which are one vote for Sabrina and three votes for Christina. So, Christina Cha, the 29-year-old career consultant, from Hollywood, CA, becomes the fifteenth person to be voted out of SURVIVOR: ONE WORLD and the ninth and final person to join the jury.
As the sun rises on day 39, Sabrina sits by herself and reflects on life and her success in the game. She cries as she realizes all the good things in her life including, family, friends, her experience on SURVIVOR and her job as teacher. Sabrina got laid off from her teaching job before coming on SURVIVOR and yet, she so wants to share her experience in the game with her school kids. She says, "Hopefully, they'll see that I took a chance and they'll take a chance. All they have to do it is one time.†Sabrina is ready to put her game face on and plead her case in Tribal Council. She admits, "You got to go in guns blazing and kind of having no mercy and from there the game will unfold.†Later, Kim, Chelsea and Sabrina go to tree mail and find an abundance of food for breakfast. Chelsea is so thankful to have made the final three. She didn't dream that she would have made it that far before she started. Chelsea reveals, "Of course you want to win a million dollars, but sometimes money isn't the big prize.†She appreciates the friends she has made and the memories she will have. Kim, Chelsea and Sabrina enjoy the fruit, bread, eggs and other food. Kim then opens the champagne and the three toast to their long alliance. Kim says, "May the best woman win.†Kim reveals that she recently got divorced and this game has been good to boost her confidence in her decisions again. She says, "I'm excited to take this and take it back to my real life.â€
At the final Tribal Council, Kim, Chelsea and Sabrina give their opening statements. Chelsea explains her strategy to the jury. Although she was aligned with Kim from the beginning and was part of the decisions on whom to vote out, she admits that she played the game differently and did not make emotional connections with the members of the jury like Kim did. Kim tells the jury that she loves SURVIVOR and played it hard from the beginning. She always kept in mind the goal of getting to end and winning the million dollars to help her family. Kim apologizes for hurting people as she voted them out, but wants them to understand that she always viewed it as a game. Sabrina explains to the jury that she sought to keep balance in the game. She didn't want to be seen as a threat in the challenges, so she scaled back her performance. She also chose not to be the messenger in telling people whom to vote for or that they were going home. Sabrina then shares the

Around this time of year many people begin to watch holiday classics like It's a Wonderful Life or White Christmas, but there's a handful of great movies that take place around Thanksgiving worth checking out. I'm not thinking of A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving, Miracle on 34th Street, or even Planes, Trains, and Automobiles. Thanksgiving can be a time of anxiety, with tension between family members threatening to spoil the day, so naturally some of the best Thanksgiving films center on dysfunctional families.
Hannah and Her Sisters (1986): This film takes place over the course of two Thanksgivings, following the ups and downs and twists and turns in the lives of three sisters, played by Mia Farrow, Dianne Wiest, and Barbara Hershey. There's sibling rivalry, midlife crises, and hypochondria, but the movie's true charms are the richly human characters and the outstanding soundtrack. This is my favorite Woody Allen film, as well as my favorite movie to watch on Thanksgiving.
The Ice Storm (1997): Set in 1973 suburban Connecticut, this film follows two upper middle class families over Thanksgiving weekend. Much darker than Hannah and Her Sisters, The Ice Storm explores the upheaval in social norms during that time, with amazing performances by Christina Ricci, Kevin Kline, and Sigourney Weaver.
Pieces of April (2003): April, the outcast of her family, offers to cook Thanksgiving dinner for her family in her cramped New York City apartment, but, of course, nothing goes according to plan. I have to admit this movie would be better without Katie Holmes as April, but Patricia Clarkson and Oliver Platt as April's parents make up for Holmes' lackluster performance, and the soundtrack by the Magnetic Fields doesn't hurt either.

General Items
Through the ages civilizations have risen swiftly only to fall, leaving the ruined bones of their once great halls as proof of their former glory. However, some few relics were too powerful to fade away with their makers and can now be used by anyone strong enough to tame their power. No one knows where they came from or who may have crafted them, but they stand as the sole, potent symbols of long forgotten cultures. Some say they will still remain long after the stones of this era's greatest monuments have diminished to nothing but dust and ash.
Healing Salve
Good on characters who can last a while. Juju, Higashi, and Onimaru can last, while Andromeda, Tafari, and Amaya can 'range dance' to maximize its use. The Salve can also help a lot in some mirror matchups, such as Cornelius vs. Cornelius.
Stoneheel Totem
Good on - or against - any single-range character, such as Onimaru, Helene, or Ashi. It's also good against characters with powerful moves that cost 50 energy such as Cornelius. It has good synergy with Ubuntu and Andromeda - those with energy-gaining advantages.
Girdle of Iron Will
Used best on characters with a slow, powerful move that they don't want interrupted. Cornelius and Juju are good examples, as are Onimaru and Andromeda. It's also good against stun or intercept-heavy opponents, such as Rumiko, Yoshiro, or Higashi.
General's Insignia
The insignia needs to go on a character who relies on single-hit attacks, such as Yoshiro, Higashi, or Anex. It has particular synergy with Marquis LeMorte because his life draining moves benefit doubly from it.
Editions Owned
Yellow Rock of Cowards
Works well with Rumiko (because of her safer switching ability) and Marquis LeMorte (he likes switching out anyway). Also good on anyone if you want to get the take off the last few hit points from an enemy without having to guess much.
Mindreader's Chalice
Good on any character, if you have the mindreading powers to back it up. It's especially good on characters that can force a deadly 50/50 guessing game with it, such as Onimaru, Ashi, Cornelius, Juju, or Ubuntu. Just don't equip it on Tafari.

The Arkonians are a humanoid species.
Arkonians did not appear to have sweat glands. Their bodies hydration system was not based on water. Instead they drank a brown liquid that they call "tarratt-aash". Their saliva had healing properties, as it could quickly repair skin abrasions. Their cellular structure was not capable of handling rapid temperature changes.
In the early-2050s, the Arkonians achieved warp-capability. Vulcans soon made first contact with them. The first contact mission wasn't successful in establishing good relations. The Arkonians proved to be suspicious and deceitful and the Vulcans were soon recalled. For more than a century after that, the Arkonians and Vulcans had rocky relations. Arkonian destroyer captains would be wary of any ship that had even a single Vulcan on it.
In 2152, the Arkonians made first contact with Humanity through Enterprise NX-01. Captain Khata'n Zshaar had been sent to patrol a system the Arkonians had annexed, and sent a shuttle piloted by Zho'Kaan to investigate a human shuttle that had been sent. When both disappeared, the Arkonians and Enterprise had to work together to find their lost crewmen. (ENT: "Dawn")

The Reality and Legacy of the Iraq War
Recorded: Tuesday, October 17, 2006
The elections in Iraq have not resolved the main problems therea constitutional crisis, continued terrorism, a potent Sunni rebellion, and fighting between religious and ethnic groups that could result in a full-blown civil war. Is the Iraq war a hopeless quagmire that has been lost, or can the U.S. still foster a united, peaceful and prosperous Iraq? If the latter, how can this be achieved? Should the Iraqi constitution be revised and, if so, how? Should the U.S. withdraw its forces-with Iraq partitioned-or use the threat of withdrawal to pressure Iraqi groups into a negotiated settlement? Should the U.S. extract troops rapidly, pull them out gradually, stay the course with current Bush administration policy, or escalate its involvement? This very timely policy forum, featuring Mark Danner and Ivan Eland, will address these critical issues.

Schools should teach children to be good members of the community, and schools should not provide product training for companies that do not respect freedom.
- Sharing: Schools should teach children to help each other and to share with each other. With proprietary software, teachers are required to prevent such sharing and to tell the children that sharing of useful software is wrong. Using Free Software allows schools to set a better example and teach children to share and cooperate and thus join a whole community that shares knowledge.
- Equality at home:With free software, teachers can give a copy to each student. Thus parents are not put in a position of making a financial decision, and children of families with less financial resources can learn with the same tools as every other child.
Learning to program: Some children will be interested in how software works, and some will be interested in writing software. When a school uses Free Software, they are in a position to help interested children learn about computers to any depth.
The possibility/freedom to tinker motivates children to learn more.
- Learning to use software: Nowadays, it is not enough to know how to use a certain office program. Young employees need the capability to adopt to any software. It's important to understand the concepts underlying a whole category or type of software (such as a spreadsheet or a word-processor), not merely how to use a particular application. The variety of Free Software products teaches exactly this. For a better understanding, a comparison of different concepts and approaches (e.g. LyX/LaTeX vs. Open Office) is invaluable. Free Software permits students to learn how software works and thus how they can make the best use of it. A key skill, demanded by employers.
Dependency: If children learn to do things a certain way in school, the easiest way for them to do that thing in their adult life is to continue to do it the same way. If schools teach children to rely on proprietary software, they are giving the child a dependency on something which they have to pay for and which generally discourages sharing and good will in society. However, if a school teaches children to rely on Free Software, the software can never be taken away from the child (even in the child's adult life) and the child can continue using this software while helping others by sharing it.
Using and teaching Free Software also makes the school itself independent from any commercial interests
- No trouble with licenses: With Free Software, there are no worries about expiry dates or costs of the licenses. Free Software stays free in every sense. There is no risk to mislead any child to use an illegal copy (see also: "Equality at home").
Easy to administer: There are several ready-to-use solutions for many use-cases in educational scenarios. Maintenance of Free Software systems is highly automated and hence timesaving. Security and other updates can be implemented in a minute.
Free Software is stable, secure and reliable.
- No licence fees: Free Software can save the school money. Since there are no license charges, the money can be use to train the teachers or for technical support to disburden the teachers.
- Better use of old hardware: Free Software can be used with minimal hardware requirements on almost any hardware. Thus, it saves money again.
- Modifiable, learning in native language: Free Software applications are being translated into almost any language (even into those where a translation could not be afforded by a proprietary software developer). Thus each child can learn and focus on the actual subject without any language barriers. It can even be adopted to local cultural characteristics

Millions of gunlock safety kits are being handed out across the nation, including right here in the Stateline. It's part of a program called Childsafe. The goal is to educate firearms owners on safety issues as well as provide the free safety kits.
The kits will be handed out at the Rock County Sheriff's Office Monday through Friday. They'll also be handing out gunlocks Saturday November 8th from 10a.m. to 2 p.m.
The risk of firearms-related unintentional injuries or deaths can be drastically reduced when guns are secured and stored in a safe manner.

About the SCALE-UP Project...
This research was supported, in part, by the U.S. Department of Education's Fund for the Improvement of Post-Secondary Education (FIPSE), the National Science Foundation, Hewlett-Packard, Apple Computer, and Pasco Scientific. Opinions expressed are those of the authors and not necessarily those of our sponsors.
The primary goal of the Student-Centered Active Learning Environment with Upside-down Pedagogies (SCALE-UP) Project is to establish a highly collaborative, hands-on, computer-rich, interactive learning environment for large-enrollment courses.
Educational research indicates that students should collaborate on interesting tasks and be deeply involved with the material they are studying. We promote active learning in a redesigned classroom of 100 students or more. (Of course, smaller classes can also benefit.) We believe the SCALE-UP Project has the potential to radically change the way large classes are taught at colleges and universities. The social interactions between students and with their teachers appears to be the "active ingredient" that make the approach work. As more and more instruction is handled virtually via technology, the relationship-building capability of brick and mortar institutions becomes even more important. The pedagogical methods and classroom management techniques we design and disseminate are general enough to be used in a wide variety of classes at many different types of colleges.
Classtime is spent primarily on "tangibles" and "ponderables ". Essentially these are hands-on activities, simulations, or interesting questions and problems. There are also some hypothesis-driven labs where students have to write detailed reports. (This example is more sophisticated than most, but shows what the best students are capable of doing.) Students sit in three groups of three students at 6 or 7 foot diameter round tables. Instructors circulate and work with teams and individuals, engaging them in Socratic-like dialogues. Each table has at least three networked laptops. The setting is very much like a banquet hall, with lively interactions nearly all the time. Many other colleges and universities are adopting/adapting the SCALE-UP room design and pedagogy. Engineering schools are especially pleased with the course objectives, which fit in well with the requirements for ABET accreditation.
Materials developed for the course were incorporated into what became the leading introductory physics textbook, used by more than 1/3 of all science, math, and engineering students in the country.

41 U.S. Code § 4704 - Prohibition of contractors limiting subcontractor sales directly to Federal Government
prev | next
(a) Contract Restrictions.— Each contract for the purchase of property or services made by an executive agency shall provide that the contractor will not—
(1) enter into an agreement with a subcontractor under the contract that has the effect of unreasonably restricting sales by the subcontractor directly to the Federal Government of any item or process (including computer software) made or furnished by the subcontractor under the contract (or any follow-on production contract); or
(b) Rights Under Law Preserved.— This section does not prohibit a contractor from asserting rights it otherwise has under law.
(c) Inapplicability to Certain Contracts.— This section does not apply to a contract for an amount that is not greater than the simplified acquisition threshold.
(d) Inapplicability When Government Treated Similarly to Other Purchasers.— An agreement between the contractor in a contract for the acquisition of commercial items and a subcontractor under the contract that restricts sales by the subcontractor directly to persons other than the contractor may not be considered to unreasonably restrict sales by that subcontractor to the Federal Government in violation of the provision included in the contract pursuant to subsection (a) if the agreement does not result in the Federal Government being treated differently with regard to the restriction than any other prospective purchaser of the commercial items from that subcontractor.

WASHINGTON (WUSA) -Gunnar, a 38-year-old male seal has died at the National Zoo.
Originally from Iceland, Gunnar lived a very full life. He came to the National Zoo in 1979 from the Naval Oceans Systems Center in San Diego where he was apart of the Navy's Marine Mammal Program, and trained to perform underwater tasks during the Cold War for the Navy.
In his career as a Navy seal, Gunnar learned how to use a screwdriver, insert and remove equipment, turn a wheel valve, and retrieve items from the ocean floor while remaining underwater for 20 minutes at a time.
Gunnar was an extraordinary seal in more ways than one as he also outlived the typical lifespan of a wild gray seal by eight years. Female seals live longer with a lifespan close to 40 years.
Gunnar had two female pups named Kara and Kjia who were born at the National Zoo, and currently live at Adventure Aquarium in New Jersey.

California interior chaparral and woodlands
Mt.St.Helena Palisades, Napa County, California. @ C.Michael Hogan
The California interior chaparral and woodlands ecoregion forms a nearly continuous ellipse of oak woodland and chaparral around the California Central Valley, ranging from 300 to 3000 feet in elevation. This California ecoregion continues across the coast ranges to the Pacific Ocean from Point Reyes to Santa Barbara, with breaks around the redwood belt south of San Francisco Bay and the montane communities of the Santa Lucia Range that parallel the coast south of Monterey Bay. This ecoregion is classified as an element of the Mediterranean Forests, Woodland and Scrub Biome. There is moderate faunal species richness,; for example, a total of 369 vertebrate taxa are recorded within the ecoregion.
Biological distinctiveness
Within the California Interior Chaparral and Woodland ecoregion, one finds a mosaic of grasslands, chaparral shrublands, open oak savannas, oak woodlands, serpentine communities, closed-cone pine forests, pockets of montane conifer forests, wetlands, salt marsh, and riparian forests. Oak savannas and chaparral are the most widespread and characteristic communities. Valley communities at lower elevation are characterized by Foothill Pine (Pinus sabiniana) and Blue Oak (Quercus douglasii), as well as a range of woodland and chaparral plants such as California Buckeye (Aesculus californica), Manzanita (Arctostaphylos spp.), Western Redbud (Cercis occidentalis), Chamise (Adenostoma fasciculatum), and Scrub Oak (Quercus dumosa). Coast Live Oak (Quercus agrifolia), Canyon Live Oak (Quercus chrysolepis), Leather Oak (Quercus durata), Valley Oak (Quercus lobata), Interior Live Oak (Quercus wislizeni), and maul oak are also part of the diverse oak flora of this ecoregion.
California interior chaparral and woodlands. Source: WWF A number of endemic and relict pines and cypresses occur within the ecoregion, often restricted to single ranges or soil types such as serpentine (e.g., Sargent cypress, Cupressus sargentii, and McNab Cypress (Cupressus macnabiana). Many of the closed-cone pines are dependent upon periodic natural wildfires to open their cones and prepare the understory for seedlings.
A diverse assemblage of shrubby and herbaceous plants occurs within the savannas and chaparral, with many local and habitat endemics. Maritime chaparral around Monterey Bay is noted for a number of endemic species, including several genus Arctostaphylos species: Hooker Manzanita (Arctostaphylos hookeri), Monterey Manzanita (Arctostaphylos monteryensis), Pajaro Manzanita (Arctostaphylos pajaroensis), Sandmat Manzanita (Arctostaphylos pumila); other prominent shrubs here are: Monterey Ceanothus (Ceanothus rigidis), and Monterey Goldenbush (Ericameria fasiculata). Communities on serpentine are particularly rich in endemic plants and invertebrates, including Leather Oak (Quercus durata), Interior Silktassel (Garrya condonii), Milkwort Jewel-flower (Streptanthus polygaloides), and Muir's Hairstreak (Mitoura muiri). Sandstone-derived soils near Coalinga support a number of disjunct populations of desert species, including Mojave Sand Verbena (Abronia pogonatha) and Narrowleaf Goldenbush (Ericameria linearifolia).
Many species and communities within the ecoregion are adapted to periodic fires, indeed many species depend upon fires for regeneration. An entire guild of annual herbaceous plants that occur in chamise chaparral have seeds that lie dormant for long periods until fires trigger their germination approximately every 20 to 25 years. Closed-cone pine communities historically burned about once every 25 to 50 years, and some species, such as the Knobcone Pine (Pinus attenuata), require fire to open their cones.
In summary, this ecoregion harbors a number of unique communities, with many species whose distributions clearly illustrate the ecological islands, specialization, relict nature, unique geologic history, and endemism of Californian biodiversity.
Mule Deer, Sonoma County. @ C.Michael Hogan Over seventy species of mammals occur in the ecoregion habitats, with five endemic and near-endemic species: the Giant Kangaroo Rat (Dipodomys ingens), Heermann's Kangaroo Rat (Dipodomys heermamni), Santa Cruz Kangaroo Rat (Dipodomys venustus), Sonoma Chipmunk (Eutamias sonomae), the ecoregion endemic Suisun Shrew (Sorex ornatus sinuosus), and the endemic Salt Marsh Harvest Mouse (Reithrodontomys raviventris), comprising the highest number of endemic mammal species for the USA and Canadian ecoregions. Another small mammal found here are the American Shrew Mole (Neurotrichus gibbsii). The most widespread cervid in the California interior chaparral and woodlands is the Mule Deer (Odocoileus hemionus), who is adaptable to browsing or grazing, depending on season and forage availability.
Plethodontid salamanders are diverse with five endemic species. A California (but not ecoregion) endemic is the Arboreal Salamander (Aneides lugubris). Also occurring in the ecoregion is the Pacific Giant Salamander (Dicamptodon ensatus NT), a carnivorous California endemic, is one of the largest salamanders in North America. Another salamander found in the California interior chaparral and woodland is the California Slender Salamander (Batrachoseps attenuatus). One of the representative anuran taxa occurring in the ecoregion is the Northern Leopard Frog (Rana pipiens).

A number of reptilian taxa are found in the California interior chaparral and woodlands ecoregion, including: the Coast Horned Lizard (Phrynosoma coronatum) and the the Yellow-backed Spiny Lizard (Sceloporus magister). Gilbert's Skink (Plestiodon gilberti) is a carnivorous species occurring within the California interior chaparral and woodlands ecoregion. Snakes occurring in the ecoregion include the California Mountain Kingsnake (Lampropeltis zonata) and the Two-striped Garter Snake (Thamnophis hammondii).
Among the roughly 100 species of birds that occur in this ecoregion, Scrub Jay (Aphelocoma coerulescens), Acorn Woodpecker (Melanerpes formicivorus), and Wren Tit (Chamaea fasciata), are some of the most characteristic avian species here. The fresh and salt marshes of San Francisco Bay and other large estuaries along the coast once supported enormous populations of ducks, geese, shorebirds, and wading birds, particularly during the winter and migration seasons.
There is a profusion of butterfly species present in the ecoregion, with high endemism and diversity in serpentine soils loci; Ehrlich was one of the early researchers to study the relationship of butterfly diversity to ultramafic soils and plant hosts in the Palo Alto Hills within the California interior chaparral and woodlands ecoregion. Army ants (Neivamyrmex spp.) and primitive bristletails, and land snails are among the ecoregion's large number of relict and unusual invertebrate species.
Conservation status
Habitat loss and degradation
Approximately thirty percent of this ecoregion can be described as intact, with such blocks concentrated in steeper foothill and montane areas. Virtually all native bunch-grass communities have been replaced by annual grassland understories in woodland areas, with introduction of alien species from Europe, exacerbated by overgrazing by livestock. Some woodland areas above 915 meters in the Sierra Nevada belt still have larger blocks of relatively intact habitat. Valley oak savannas and woodlands, particularly those on valley bottoms and gentler slopes, have been largely eliminated. Valley Oak savannas are presently much rarer than Blue Oak savannas. Habitat for a number of species has been lost through centuries of overgrazing, alteration of fire regimes, harvesting of oaks, and the introduction of aggressive alien species. Only ten percent of all wetlands in the state of California remain, and much of what is left is highly threatened.
Remaining blocks of intact habitat
The largest intact blocks of chaparral and sclerophyll-oak woodlands occur in the inner north and south coast ranges. Larger blocks of freshwater and salt marshes occur around Suisun and San Pablo Bays. Military bases such as Vandenberg Air Force Base, Hunter-Leggett, and Naval Petroleum Reserve (near Maricopa) encompass extensive intact high quality habitat.
Degree of fragmentation
Habitat fragmentation is high given the extent of range modification, road-building, developments, and natural catchment basin topography. Many communities are naturally disjunct and fragmented, and man-caused fragmentation exacerbates their isolation.
Degree of protection
Annadel State Park, with Hood Mountain beyond. @ C.Michael Hogan Few good examples of this habitat type are adequately protected. The Nature Conservancy, Bureau of Land Management, California Department of Fish and Game, and U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service are working cooperatively to restore the vast Carrizo Plains. Additional reserves are Cold Canyon Nature Reserve managed by the University of California, Annadel State Park and Pinnacles National Monument near Monterey. Unfortunately, many of these reserves are too small for long-term viability, and most suffer from decades of fire suppression, invasion of alien species, and overgrazing by deer and rodent populations elevated through predator control. Much of the remaining salt marsh habitats in San Francisco Bay are protected to some degree, although external changes to hydrologic conditions and water pollution may ultimately degrade these habitats.
Ecological threat profile
Rural residential development and agricultural development are major threats to remaining low elevation oak woodlands. In the northern part of the ecoregion, e.g. Sonoma and Napa Counties, vineyard conversions are a chief threat; moreover, this wine production pressure is felt elsewhere in the ecoregion such as the Amador Valley and in the San Luis Obispo County foothills.
Overgrazing by domestic livestock, including sheep and cattle, as well as Mule Deer and rodents is a serious issue in the ecoregion. Blue oaks are not regenerating throughout their range because of high seedling mortality from overgrazing, seed predation, and, in some part, competition from introduced grasses. Cutting down trees for firewood and pasture is a persistent threat. The revival of wood-burning stoves has increased demand for oak wood in recent years. Clearing open woodlands for pasture also reduces forage quality. Riparian areas and surface water sources, formerly critical sites for maintaining wildlife and rare plant species during the arid summers, have been extensively degraded or destroyed by domestic animals and water diversions. Expansion of agriculture, such as vineyards, and development projects, such as housing and golf courses, is swiftly converting many habitats in the Sierra foothills and areas near larger cities on the coast.
The continuing practice of type conversion of chaparral into grasslands through repeated burning and planting of annual grasses reduces habitat for species of herbaceous plants, invertebrates, birds, mammals, and reptiles that specialize on chaparral habitats. The loss of chaparral over the landscape is also thought to increase erosion and reduce water storage capacity of the habitat. Introduced species are a serious and pervasive problem for native species. This ecoregion has 2105 different species of introduced plants, constituting 30 percent of the flora, the the highest for any ecoregion in the USA or Canada.
The U.S. Bureau of Land Management has been involved in a number of large conservation projects in the ecoregion, including the Carrizo Plains, Cosumnes River, Sacramento River, and Panoche Hills. However, the Bureau's authorization of off-road vehicle use on the serpentine communities of the Clear Creek Recreation Area of the inner Coast Range threatens a globally unique habitat.
Wetlands throughout the region continue to be threatened by development, draining, diversions, alteration of hydrologic conditions, and water pollution. Introduced rats, cats, opossums, foxes, and other predators also cause mortality in wetland specialists such as salt marsh harvest mice and clapper rails.
Suite of Priority Activities to Enhance Biodiversity Conservation
- Action to reduce the loss of oak woodlands is urgently needed. Management practices to promote regeneration of valley and blue oaks need to be widely implemented, including fencing of areas, planting of seedlings, and control of overabundant herbivores and alien plant species. Control of expansion of Douglas Fir is needed, given the decades of aggressive fire suppression that has favored the Douglas Fir. Ranching techniques compatible with biodiversity conservation need to be devised and implemented.
- Restoration of fire cycles within their natural range of variation can be accomplished through controlled burns, fuel reduction, and control of alien plants. For example, thousands of acres have been taken over by the alien species, Star Thistle, which enhances and transforms natural wildfire cycles. Areas identified as supporting relatively intact natural communities are immediate targets for intensive fire management.
- Overgrazing of cattle and other livestock around riparian areas or in sensitive habitats (e.g., some edaphic communities and areas where locally endemic species persist) needs to be curtailed or carefully managed to mimic natural processes. Cessation of off-road vehicle activity is also needed for conservation in many parts of the ecoregion.
- Protection and restoration of wetlands is urgently needed, wherever they occur. Restoration of hydrologic regimes is particularly important.

Valdosta, GA - December 16, 2012
A crowd of Blazer fans gathered outside the Athletic Field House Sunday to welcome home their new National Champion college football team.
VSU beat the Winston-Salem Rams 35 to 7 for the Division 2 national title. And these folks came out to great them as they got off the buses from Florence, Alabama.
But one of the charter buses broke down near Tifton, Georgia because of a oil pressure problem. They had to squeeze all the players and gear between the other bus and a fan charter bus that was not far behind. Finally, the rolled in well past dark and over two hours late.
Yet despite the trouble getting home, you'd never know it from the excitement in the crowd. And the National Champions trophy they get to hoist for the third time.

In Texas, Dallas is known as the state's capital of glitz. Texas' third largest city's local reputation for conspicuous consumption has become international too, ever since it became the setting for the 1980s' flashiest soap opera.
This version of Dallas still lives on in Downtown's glass towers, the designer shops of the Galleria mall and the sprawling houses of upscale Preston Hollow. But there's more to Dallas - as home to a new Norman Foster designed opera house, Rem Koolhaas' Wylie Theatre and a Museum of Art with a recently doubled contemporary art collection, the city is also a cultural hub. In neighbourhoods such as the old jazz and blues district of Deep Ellum and the art deco Bishop Arts District, there's a grittier, artsy feel. Texas' cowboy history is likewise never far below the surface. Rodeos in the suburb of Allen and country music shows at South Dallas' Gilley's bring in many visitors, as do the steak barbecues in the old stockyards of Dallas' sister city, Fort Worth.
This family friendly fun includes a real cowboy dinner, with real cowboy hospitality and even a rodeo or bull riding on the weekends. Located in the historic Fort Worth, Texas Stockyards near downtown, Billy Bob's Texas has become one of the most popular visitor attractions and meeting facilities in the state. Families of all ages can test their skills on the large variety of video games, arcade games and pool tables. They can even become an instant rodeo legend on their Photo Bull too.
The sight of the assassination of JFK. The Sixth Floor Museum at Dealey Plaza is an educational and permanent historic exhibit that examines the life, times, death and legacy of President John F. Kennedy within the context of American history. The museum's exhibition area uses historic films, photographs, artefacts and interpretive displays to document the events of the assassination, the findings of the official investigations that followed and the historical legacy of that national tragedy.

Topic: Food intolerance, Malabsorption
Fact Sheet: Malabsorption119
By: Nimish Vakil, MD, FACP, FACG; Carol Jorgensen-Vakil, MS, RD, CNSD, Registered Dietician
The gastrointestinal tract and liver play key roles in the digestion, absorption and metabolism of nutrients. Diseases of the gastrointestinal tract and liver may profoundly disturb normal nutrition. Malabsorption refers to decreased intestinal absorption of carbohydrate, protein, fat, minerals or vitamins. There are many symptoms associated with malabsorption. Weight loss, diarrhea, greasy stools (due to high fat content), abdominal bloating and gas are suggestive of malabsorption.Topics: Food intolerance, Malabsorption
Fact Sheet: Lactose Intolerance: Definition, Symptoms and Treatment122
By: Eli D. Ehrenpreis, MD; Benjamin Z. Ehrenpreis
The term lactose intolerance refers to the development of gastrointestinal symptoms following the ingestion of milk or dairy products. Lactose intolerance is caused by a shortage of a digestive enzyme called lactase, which is produced within the lining of the small intestine, although not all people with lactase deficiency develop symptoms. Lactose intolerance is an extremely common disorder and may have a prevalence of up to 100% in some populations. The following brief review of lactose intolerance will provide a summary of the populations most affected, symptoms, diagnosis, and treatment. Revised 2007.Topics: Food intolerance, Malabsorption
Fact Sheet: Relationship of Diet to Functional GI Disorders139
The symptoms of functional GI disorders, such as abdominal pain, diarrhea, and constipation can by initiated or exacerbated by stress, hormones, drugs, and diet. Certain foods can induce symptoms that mimic certain functional GI disorders. Review of an individual's diet is important when dealing with functional GI symptoms.Topics: Diarrhea, loose stools, Diet, Foods, Food intolerance, Malabsorption, Gas, Bloating, Belching
Fact Sheet: Diet and Functional Bowel Disease143
By: Kenneth W. Heaton, MD, FRCP
The exact nature of the connection between what people eat and how their intestines behave is controversial, but there is certainly a connection. The effects of foods on the gut are reviewed.Topics: Diarrhea, loose stools, Diet, Foods, Food intolerance, Malabsorption, Gas, Bloating, Belching, Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS)
Fact Sheet: Why Does Milk Bother Me?218
By: Information Adapted from the National Diseases Information Clearinghouse NIH
Lactose intolerance means that you cannot digest foods with lactose in them. Lactose is the sugar found in milk and foods made with milk. This sheet reviews what you need to know about lactose intolerance.Topics: Diarrhea, loose stools, Diet, Foods, Food intolerance, Malabsorption, Gas, Bloating, Belching
Fact Sheet: Dietary Aspects of Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS)220
Many patients with irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) comment that their symptoms appear to deteriorate following a meal. In many individuals this is merely a nuisance but in others it can be much more of a problem. Fortunately, it is usually reasonably easy to tackle the dietary aspects of IBS as long as you understand a few basic principles. For those who suspect food is a factor in their symptoms, there are 4 foods that most often seem to be involved.
Fact Sheet: Dietary Triggers for IBS Symptoms: The Low FODMAP Diet Approach251
By: CK Yao; Jessica Biesiekierski, PhD; Sue Shepherd, PhD; Peter Gibson, MD, FRACP
A wide range of therapies have been used to control IBS symptoms including various medications, bulking agents and laxatives, and a myriad of lifestyle changes. Most individuals with IBS believe that their symptoms are related to the consumption of certain foods, but advice in this area has been conflicting and confusing and offered little relief for IBS sufferers. The authors' research team has developed a new dietary management approach in Australia – the Low FODMAP diet – to control symptoms associated with IBS.
