Yahoo! Inc. Note to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial StatementsThis press release and its attachments include the non-GAAP financial measures of revenue excluding traffic acquisition costs ("revenue ex-TAC"), free cash flow, non-GAAP income from operations, non-GAAP net income, and non-GAAP net income per diluted share, which are reconciled to revenue, cash flow from operating activities, income from operations, net income attributable to Yahoo! Inc., and net income attributable to Yahoo! Inc. common stockholders per share - diluted, which we believe are the most comparable GAAP measures. We use these non-GAAP financial measures for internal managerial purposes and to facilitate period-to-period comparisons. We describe limitations specific to each non-GAAP financial measure below. Management generally compensates for limitations in the use of non-GAAP financial measures by relying on comparable GAAP financial measures and providing investors with a reconciliation of the non-GAAP financial measure to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure or measures. Further, management uses non-GAAP financial measures only in addition to and in conjunction with results presented in accordance with GAAP. We believe that these non-GAAP financial measures reflect an additional way of viewing aspects of our operations that, when viewed with our GAAP results, provide a more complete understanding of factors and trends affecting our business and operating costs. These non-GAAP measures should be considered as a supplement to, and not as a substitute for, or superior to, revenue, cash flow from operating activities, income from operations, net income attributable to Yahoo! Inc., and net income attributable to Yahoo! Inc. common stockholders per share - diluted calculated in accordance with GAAP.

Sen. Lindsey GrahamLindsey GrahamGOP warms to Trump Trump address gets mixed reaction from GOP Graham tears into Trump's 'pathetic' foreign policy speech MORE (R-S.C.) has vowed to bring the Senate to a standstill unless congressional leaders agree to allocate $40,000 for a federal study on deepening the Port of Charleston.
Graham says one out of five jobs in South Carolina stem from trade through Charleston's busy port, and he warns the entire state economy will suffer unless the port is overhauled.
Graham said he will not block the budget agreement to keep the government funded through the end of September but that he will hold up all other business until the matter is resolved. He said he would not delay the stopgap spending measure because it includes funding for troops in Afghanistan and Iraq.
But his stand could delay the confirmation of nominees and completion of small-business legislation that has languished on the Senate floor for weeks.
An aide to Graham stressed the $40,000 request is not an earmark.
"The language that the senator wants to have in the CR gives the Army Corps [of Engineers] money to go forward with projects currently in progress. This will allow the Corps to tap into that money for our study," said the aide in reference to the continuing resolution to keep the government funded for six months.
Vice President Joe BidenJoe BidenThe Hill's 12:30 Report Biden lands in Iraq for surprise visit Boehner: Ted Cruz a 'miserable son of a bitch' MORE called Graham on Tuesday to negotiate a possible deal.
"I'm getting people's attention, I hate to do it this way but it's the only way — the administration, the vice president called yesterday. He's wanting to help me. It's not too big of an ask. We're talking about a $40,000 need in Charleston to make sure the port doesn't fall a year behind," Graham said.
Graham's stand plays into the Democratic argument that infrastructure spending creates jobs.
"I would say that putting the money into infrastructure that creates jobs is a good thing to do with taxpayer dollars," he said. "No one has ever suggested that deepening the Port of Charleston would not be an economic benefit to the region and the nation as a whole.
"If you do want to double exports, which is a good idea, you've got to have the infrastructure that meets the times we live in," he said.
Graham argues that super-sized cargo ships will dominate the shipping industry in the near future and that ports along the east coast will have to deepen their channels to accommodate the deep-draft vessels.

NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- Super Micro Computer (SMCI - Get Report) spiked on Wednesday morning following better-than-expected second-quarter earnings a day earlier. By mid-morning, shares had surged 15.7% to $21.41.
The server manufacturer reported net income for the quarter ended December of 35 cents a share, 9 cents higher than analysts surveyed by Yahoo! Finance had anticipated. Revenue of $356.4 million came in 22.3% higher than the year-ago quarter.
For the third quarter ending March, management expects net income between 24 cents and 30 cents a share and revenue in the range of $320 million to $350 million. Prior to guidance, analysts anticipated third-quarter net income of 25 cents a share on $317.36 million in revenue.
"We are looking forward to strong growth in calendar 2014 because of our foundation in global capacity and in strong product innovation," said CEO Charles Liang in a statement.

TheStreet Ratings team rates SUPER MICRO COMPUTER INC as a Buy with a ratings score of B-. The team has this to say about their recommendation:
"We rate SUPER MICRO COMPUTER INC (SMCI) a BUY. This is driven by some important positives, which we believe should have a greater impact than any weaknesses, and should give investors a better performance opportunity than most stocks we cover. The company's strengths can be seen in multiple areas, such as its revenue growth, largely solid financial position with reasonable debt levels by most measures, compelling growth in net income, good cash flow from operations and solid stock price performance. We feel these strengths outweigh the fact that the company shows low profit margins."
Highlights from the analysis by TheStreet Ratings Team goes as follows:
- The revenue growth came in higher than the industry average of 2.8%. Since the same quarter one year prior, revenues rose by 14.2%. Growth in the company's revenue appears to have helped boost the earnings per share.
- Although SMCI's debt-to-equity ratio of 0.09 is very low, it is currently higher than that of the industry average. Along with the favorable debt-to-equity ratio, the company maintains an adequate quick ratio of 1.12, which illustrates the ability to avoid short-term cash problems.
- The net income growth from the same quarter one year ago has significantly exceeded that of the S&P 500 and the Computers & Peripherals industry. The net income increased by 756.4% when compared to the same quarter one year prior, rising from $0.90 million to $7.70 million.
- Net operating cash flow has significantly increased by 168.94% to $18.31 million when compared to the same quarter last year. In addition, SUPER MICRO COMPUTER INC has also vastly surpassed the industry average cash flow growth rate of 6.77%.
- Powered by its strong earnings growth of 750.00% and other important driving factors, this stock has surged by 79.00% over the past year, outperforming the rise in the S&P 500 Index during the same period. We feel that the stock's sharp appreciation over the last year has driven it to a price level which is now somewhat expensive compared to the rest of its industry. The other strengths this company shows, however, justify the higher price levels.

Palmer, Mass. — Mohegan Sun executives sought to impress here Monday night, introducing a "dream team" of financiers and designers and unveiling a new look for the resort casino they hope to develop off Exit 8 of the Massachusetts Turnpike.
They seemed to largely succeed, earning positive feedback from town councilors and residents, though longstanding questions about traffic plans surfaced anew.
The session ended amid applause.
Mohegan Sun Massachusetts, its price tag now verging on $1 billion, has grown to include a 300,000-square-foot retail complex, a 70,000-square-foot "aquatic adventure park" and a second hotel in addition to the casino, hotel and other amenities originally planned.
"It's going to be like nothing the commonwealth has ever seen, like nothing any other operator is proposing," Mitchell Etess, the Mohegan Tribal Gaming Authority's chief executive officer, told the audience.
Project architect A. Eugene Kohn of Kohn Pedersen Fox described the layout, likening it to "designing a hill town in Italy or France." He said the buildings would be nestled among wetlands and forest and that steps were taken to minimize the project's footprint.
The aquatic park, an indoor-outdoor water park augmented by a "family-style" hotel, "hinges" the development to the site, Kohn said.
Some details of financing for the project also were revealed for the first time.
Doug Pardon, head of high yield research for Brigade Capital Management, the New York firm backing the casino portion of the project, said his firm is providing $110 million. Mohegan Sun is providing an undisclosed sum, and the remaining amount is to be financed through the debt markets, he said.
Pardon cited three reasons for Brigade's willingness to partner on the project: Mohegan Sun's reputation for quality; the 150-acre site's access from the highway; and the potential of the "untapped market" Massachusetts represents.
Finard Properties of Boston, whose CEO, Todd Finard, gave a presentation, is developing the retail complex and the aquatic park.
Paul Brody, Mohegan Sun's vice president for development, said Mohegan Sun still hopes to build a "flyover" from the Massachusetts Turnpike to the site but has also designed two other interchange options at the behest of the Massachusetts Department of Transportation. Mohegan Sun is prepared to proceed with whichever option the state prefers.
The Mohegan Sun project is seeking the one casino license the Massachusetts Gaming Commission will award for western Massachusetts, a prize also sought by MGM Resorts International and Hard Rock International. MGM has proposed an $800 million project for Springfield while Hard Rock's $700 million development would be built in West Springfield.
Bruce "Two Dogs" Bozsum, the Mohegan tribal chairman, said he believes the Mohegan Sun proposal clearly surpasses those of its competitors.
"It's bigger, it's more exciting, it represents a bigger investment, creates more jobs and will attract more people from out of state," he said. "It achieves everything the state's (expanded gambling) legislation was supposed to achieve. If we don't get the license for western Massachusetts, I don't see how we could have."
Mohegan Sun representatives have been negotiating a "host community agreement" with Palmer officials, a process both sides say should be completed this month. Once the agreement is reached, the town will conduct a binding referendum on the project, with local voters giving it the thumbs up or down.
"Today is the kick-off for the referendum campaign," Brody said. "We don't want to win 51 to 49. We want to win by a big margin."
If Mohegan Sun prevails — and there's a long way yet to go — it promises a casino opening in Palmer in the summer of 2016.

A Hastings police officer is being investigated for theft following an incident here on Nov. 22, 2010. Rene Doffing, a longtime member of the force, allegedly stole a wine bottle opener from the bar at the Green Mill around 6 p.m. Nov.
As a little girl here in Hastings, Wendy Dodge-Agen liked her mother's garden. Specifically, she targeted the onions, often times grabbing them from the ground and eating them raw. When her mother would set the pot roast on the dinner table, the first thing Dodge-Agen would grab were the onions. Her fondness for the vegetable earned her a nickname from her older brothers: Onion Head. Later, it was shortened to Onion. Now, that nickname will be part of Dodge-Agen's new Hastings restaurant, which she has dubbed The Onion Grille.
A strong first half of defense kept the Hastings Raiders in their non-conference game last week against Red Wing. While the effort was there defensively, it appeared as though a lid had been put in place on the basket for the Raiders, especially in the second half. The end result? A 58-36 loss to the Wingers. "In the first half, our defensive play was the best that we have had so far this season," coach Chad Feikema said.
The Hastings boys hockey team improved to 5-3 on the season last week with a 5-1 win over Forest Lake. The score may look lopsided, but the game wasn't. Hastings scored single goals in the first and second periods, and held a 2-0 lead heading into the third period. In the third, Hastings pulled away with three goals. "The game was a lot closer than the score shows," coach Russ Welch said. "They outshot us, but we kept hanging in there.
The Hastings girls basketball team lost a non-conference game to Red Wing last week, 83-52. Liz Keena led Hastings in scoring with 23 points. Also scoring were: Morgan Tjomsland 2, Emily Daggett 7, Mary Haglund 7, Lexie Harp 5, Nicole Hollar 1, Kallie Dylla 8.
The Hastings girls hockey team improved to 4-3 in conference play with a 3-1 win over Woodbury last week. The Raiders are now in the middle of the Suburban East Conference standings. Roseville and White Bear Lake lead the league with 6-1 records. Stillwater is third at 6-2 and Mounds View is fourth with a mark of 5-2. In the game against Woodbury, Hastings took a 2-0 lead in the first period.
Imagine a line of those blue concrete trucks stretching from the Highway 61 bridge in Hastings up Highway 61 for 3.25 miles. There would be 500 of them, stretching all the way from Hub's Marina up to River Oaks Golf Course. Those 500 trucks, holding 5,000 cubic yards of concrete, is what will be needed to build just six of the piers for the new Hastings bridge. So far, though, all Hastings residents have seen in terms of bridge construction is rather limited. That will soon all be changing as work on the piers gets under way.
The best gift that Hastings man Everett Turnbull ever received didn't come at Christmas. Rather, it came in October. Turnbull, a World War II veteran, took an Honor Flight to Washington, D.C., for free. He went with about 100 other Minnesota veterans, who spent one day seeing nearly every memorial that could be seen in the nation's capital, including the World War II memorial. Having been as moved by the trip as he was, Turnbull is now on a mission to spread the word about the trips to other Hastings-area veterans.
The Hastings Nordic ski team is full of very happy people again this week. After a number of years with little to no snowfall, the ground is covered this year with an abundance of the white stuff. It's great news for the team, which had been having to travel into northern Wisconsin to simply practice on snow in recent years. Obviously, that's no longer the case. The team recently competed at Troll Hollow in Dresser, Wis., on Dec.
The Hastings boys hockey team split a pair of Suburban East Conference games last week. To hear coach Russ Welch talk about the two, you'd think that the Raiders beat Mounds View and lost to Park. But you'd be wrong. Welch was anything but impressed with his team's 4-1 win over Park on Saturday morning. Welch was anything but disappointed with his team's 2-1 loss in overtime to Mounds View Thursday. In the loss to the Mustangs, Hastings outshot their opponent 34-27. "We had a very good second and third period, but we just couldn't score, Welch said. "We just had trouble scoring.

CHICAGO, Jan. 23, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- JPMorgan Chase Foundation is providing a $7 million grant to four leading Community Development Financial Institutions (CDFIs).

Needlefish and Hatchetfish?
How do these fish do in brackish?
Never kept needlefish and dont know alot about them, but the hatchets wont do well long term with any salt in the water........
I'm wondering if you actually mean nedlenose gar, rather than needlefish? The latter are marine fish from the ocean, whereas the former needlenose are freshwater fish from SE Asia. Don't know if you already have these or are contemplating them, but they are not exactly aggressive but have been described as an avid predator that will eat any live fish that they can bite into, and they grow to 12 inches, so need fairly large quarters and large tankmates unless kept alone in a large aquarium. They prefer to be in small groups. Several authors mention live foods being mandatory. I've no personal experience with keeping these fish. In the references I have, there is no mention of brackish water.
Hatchetfish are surface fish from South America, and as FishinPole correctly said, do not tolerate salt. They come from soft slightly acid water streams and creeks in the Amazon and Orinoco basins (thus far removed from any trace of brackish water), live in shoals of hundreds, and can jump out of the water and "fly" for up to 12 feet, so a convered tank is mandatory. A somewhat sensitive fish, but in suitable water will live very peacefully with other small fish like tetras and pencilfish, and corys and similar catfish that are not predatory. Being characins, hatchetfish have a sensitivity to chemicals so water quality and parameters must be steady, and no salt.

Rachel McAdams stops by Trader Joes in Studio City

Filed under Rachel McAdams | No Comments

Here are some new pictures of Rachel McAdams and boyfriend Michael Sheen at the premiere of his new movie, "The Gospel Of Us" in London.
The couple have been dating for a year, and appear to be going strong! Michael, 43, and Rachel, 33, have been on a publicity tour supporting his new movie. The film is based on Michael's one-off theatre production of The Passion, which took place in the same town during Easter 2011.
Michael and Rachel met on the set of 'Midnight in Paris' during 2010, and confirmed their relationship when they appeared together at the Cannes Film Festival in May of last year.
While I was searching for some information on Rachel and Michael – I stumbled up on this amazing video! You might have seen it, but I never have, and had to share!
BONUS: Here's Rachel McAdam's audition tape for 'The Notebook'. You can hear Ryan Gosling in the background during the audition. It's totally cute – and I watched the entire thing! No wonder she got the part – she's so stinkin adorable!
Photos: Fame/Flynet
I can't even tell you how disappointed I was when I saw these pictures. Rachel McAdams looks like a hot mess here! She's always so beautiful and elegant, but somehow she managed to pull off her worst-ever look last night.
She and costar Channing Tatum were out to promote their new movie, 'The Vow' in Hollywood last night.
I'm sorry to be the one to point it out, but Rachel looks pretty awful here. She wore clip-on bangs, that aren't even the same color as her "natural" hair. I don't know what she was thinking. Her eye makeup looks okay, but the lipstick is all sorts of wrong. It isn't the right color for her skin tone!
The dress isn't bad by design, but again – the color just makes her looked washed out. The dress is by Vivienne Westwood.
Channing hit the red carpet with his wife Jenna Dewan (her dress is awful too!). Jenna starred in 'Playboy Club' when it was on the air for 5 minutes.
Also pictured: Kendall & Kylie Jenner.
Photos: Fame/Flynet
Rachel McAdams and Channing Tatum pose together this afternoon for their new movie, 'The Vow', in Berlin, Germany.
The actress wore a beautiful dress by Collette Dinnigan.
The movie centers around a happily married couple whose relationship is shaken once Paige (McAdams) gets into a car accident, and wakes up with memory loss. Her husband, Leo (Tatum) works to make her fall in love with him again.
'The Vow' hits theaters in the US on February 10, just in time for Valentine's Day!

Kanye West is back like he never left. Or lost his mind and did 808's and Heartbreak. And I couldn't be happier. Ever since videos of the a cappella "Mama's Boyfriend" Facebook headquarters performance hit YouTube, my excitement level for
Good Ass Job his yet-untitled November 16 release has been peaked.
Featuring support from Beyoncé and Uncle Charlie Wilson as well as production contributions from No I.D. and Lex Luger, this afternoon's leak "See Me Now" is summery, self-indulgent and totally awesome. If there's one shortcoming, I'd have to agree with Elliott Wilson in that the bass could use a boost--as is, it's a little murky. But the cut is just too welcome to let nitpicking get in the way of enjoyment, especially considering the ad-libs near the end: "I feel like I'm on one of those old R. Kelly joints!" and "I know they put me back on the cover of Ebony now!" and personal favorite "Uncle Charlie, I'ma let you finish, but I got Beyoncé on the track!" 'Ye might be a little crazy, but the dude's a genius who can laugh at himself and knows how to rock a track. And you should download the latest one right this second.

Acting White
Acting White
The Curious History of a Racial Slur
Thomas Dunne Books, Hardcover, 9780312599461, 304pp.
Publication Date: October 12, 2010
In the tradition of Randall Kennedy's Nigger and Shelby Steele's The Content of Our Character, Acting White demonstrates how the charge that any African-American who is successful, well mannered, or well educated is "acting white," is a slur that continues to haunt blacks. Ron Christie traces the complex history of the phrase, from Uncle Tom's Cabin to the tensions between Martin Luther King, Jr., and Malcolm X to Bill Cosby's controversial NAACP speech in 2004. The author also writes candidly of being challenged by black students for his "acting white," and also of being labeled a race traitor in Congress by daring to be Republican. This lucid chronicle reveals how this prevalent put-down sets back much of the hard-earned progress for all blacks in American society. Deftly argued and determinedly controversial, this book is certain to spur thoughtful discussion for years to come.
RON CHRISTIE, a veteran senior advisor of both the White House and Congress and formerly a special assistant to President George W. Bush, is a noted political and legal analyst. He is a professor of political science and strategy at George Washington University and Haverford College and the author of Black in the White House.

Is eating refined grains, white potatoes, and iceberg lettuce better than nothing?
Boosting Heart Nerve Control
Which food was found to improve heart rate variability?
Is eating refined grains, white potatoes, and iceberg lettuce better than nothing?
Let's say you get a typical dinner roll when you're out to eat. Should you eat it? Look, it's free, and has 8 essential nutrients, is it better than nothing? No. it's not nutritionally worth it, and I'll show you why in a second.
We should strive to eat whole foods. There's really only one common whole food that isn't worth it, and I'll give you a hint: It's either iceberg lettuce or white potatoes. Do you think Iceberg lettuce is better for nothing? Or is it the potatoes that are worth eating?
Iceberg lettuce is one of the least nutritious vegetables, so if you have a choice, always choose a healthier salad green, but it is still… better than nothing. I recommend you pass on the potatoes.
This year in the Journal of the American Dietetic Association, eating nonfried white potatoes was associated with a 50% increased risk of kidney cancer. Same with eating white bread, 50% increased risk of cancer—that's why the dinner roll isn't worth it. To put it into context, though, meat in this study was associated with a 400% increased risk, so best to skip the meat and potatoes and the dinner roll. Which food food cut the risk in half??? Dark green leafy vegetables.

Dr. John McDougall says potatoes are the perfect food: http://www.vegsource.com/news/2011/07/potatoes-bad-not-so-fast-video.html
I wish you guys would agree on things.
Have you seen Jeff Novick's response to a similar question? He's one of my favorite dietitians (And I think we can all agree that sweet potatoes are perfecter! :)
I'm also unhappy about these research results. Is this a single isolated study regarding white potatoes and cancer? What about the healthy Peruvians and Ecuadorians?
As far as the potato skin, I have heard of people who survived starvation eating potatoes with their skins, while those who ate the potato alone did not survive. The implication was that there are good things we don't necessarily know about in the skin.
Is one study enough to condemn a food that has been widely consumed for hundreds of years?
By the way, I love your site!
I remember a study awhile ago that found that white potatoes are actually way healthier than we used to think because there are a lot of nutrients in the skin. Do you know about this?
Certainly, there are nutrients in the skin of potatoes. But also there are toxins (called glycoalkaloids) produced by the tuber in response to the attacks of the potato beetle. (http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/19286450). The video http://nutritionfacts.org/videos/toxins-in-cooked-potatoes/ shows a wonderful explanation about this issue. If you still want to eat white potatoes, please peel them or, even better, eat sweet potatoes as recommended in http://nutritionfacts.org/videos/toxins-in-sweet-potatoes/
There are many toxins in many of the plants we eat, doesn't necessarily mean they'll do us harm, it's the nature of plants that they have various defenses and you'd imagine that plant eating animals have learnt to deal with this to a fair extent?
im curious to the question above too
Certainly, there are nutrients in the skin of potatoes. But also there are toxins (called glycoalkaloids) produced by the tuber in response to the attacks of the potato beetle.

If you still want to eat white potatoes, please peel them or, even better, eat sweet potatoes as recommended in http://nutritionfacts.org/videos/toxins-in-sweet-potatoes/
Ok so white potatoes aren't very good but what about colored (I'm not referring to sweet potatoes, I understand they are very nutritious)? Is there a nutritional difference between colored potatoes? Are yellow fleshed, blue fleshed, or red fleshed potatoes more nutritious than white potatoes? I have read claims that some of the colored (flesh not just the skin) potatoes are more nutritious and intuitively based on the idea that vibrant color is an evolutionary sign of nutrition it would make sense to me, but I was curious if there is any research out there about it.
i like white potatoes and sweet potatoes, pop them in the microwave 3 min… easy snack, and i like the skin in white ones…. so my question is: Would i have to eat a lot of skins or is just eating one on occasion enough to harm my health.
I wouldn't microwave anything. Throw your microwave in the bin :-(
Check your facts: http://nutritionfacts.org/video/best-cooking-method/
The nutritional content of the food is the least of my concerns with microwaves, LOL. Why don't you check YOUR facts!?
Please give a reason for your opinion or post a link to a reputable source! I did my research and decided the fear of microwaves was basically an unsubstantiated paranoia of technology.
Nunya, DStack is asking an honest and good question. Basically what he is asking, and what I am curious as well of, is what reason do you have to believe that microwaves are harmful? Do you have any studies to back these claims? You must understand, NF.org is very science based, so an evidence based approach is best.
Nunya: Name calling is not allowed on this site. Respectful discourse only please.
Is there any way you could do a video on the yeast in bread and what effects, if any, it has on humans?
hello, could you comment on light spelt flour please? thank you
What about Russian black rye bread flavored with molasses?
So does this mean sprouted while grains bread is bad for you? Eg. Slver Hills
Interesting, because a similar study (http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/17058282) found something different:
Poultry (OR = 0.74), processed meat (OR = 0.64) and vegetables (OR = 0.65) were inversely associated with RCC risk. No relation was found for coffee and tea, soups, eggs, red meat, fish, cheese, pulses, potatoes, fruits, desserts and sugars.
Hi Dr. Greger,
My sister just met you in Marshall, TX over the weekend. She's a huge fan of yours!
I love tacos, and since going on a plant-based diet I've been eating vegan tacos from one of our local taco places: the Freakin' Vegan: corn tortillas, black beans, pico de gallo and avocados. The Papadulce: sweet potato, roasted corn, pepitas (roasted pumpkin seeds), etc. They're all delicious!
However, I haven't seen anything on your site about:
– Tortillas, especially corn tortillas and
– Cooking oils from a weight gain vs. weight loss perspective (although you've covered their shelf-life).
Could you tell me how healthy corn tortillas are, and what is the best cooking oil if I'm trying to lose weight, avoid cancer, etc.?
Finally, is it just bad all around to use a lot of oil when cooking? That's the way I cook refried beans; put a bunch of onions and garlic in to hot oil and have them swim around in there until they're translucent, then put the beans in there.
please make sure any corn products you buy are not made from genetically modified corn. :-(
This is quite difficult in the USofA. Big Ag will not let Big Gov make them label foods that contain GMO products. We have to grow our own or simply trust the small grower or company that "claims" non-GMO. One MUST assume anything with wheat or corn in it in this country is GMO. Very sad situation, but shows us who the boss is.
I eat a LOT of corn tortillas myself. Get them straight from the Mexicans who live here, from their open markets. They taste wonderful, hope they aren't entirely toxic.
was the study done on organic skin-on potatoes?
And how much potato? Even leafy greens can be dangerous at high amounts. That's the problem with studies. :-(
This study didn't find a correlation between renal carcinoma and potatoes.
Is this going to be another one of those things like soy?
I am looking for a video on the nutritional value of fresh whole vs. pre-cut vegetables from the supermarket. Is it available?
I'm very skeptical of these association studies. Correlation is not causation, but in medical science, the two are often irresponsibly equated. Moreover, as one commentator noted previously, a similar study found (with one exception) entirely different food associations with renal cell carcinoma, viz. Int. J. Cancer: 120, 681–685 (2006) (c) 2006 Wiley-Liss,Inc.: FOOD GROUPS AND RENAL CELL CARINOMA: A CASE-CONTROL STUDY FROM ITALY. In this study,
"A significant direct trend in risk was found for bread (OR 5 1.94 for the highest versus the lowest intake quintile), and a modest excess of risk was observed for pasta and rice (OR 5 1.29), and milk and yoghurt (OR 5 1.27). Poultry (OR 5 0.74), processed meat (OR 5 0.64) and vegetables (OR 5 0.65) were inversely associated with RCC risk. No relation was found for coffee and tea, soups, eggs, red meat, fish, cheese, pulses, potatoes, fruits, desserts and sugars."
I'm especially skeptical of the association with potatoes that the study cited by Dr. Greger claimed to have found. Potatoes (baked or boiled) have generally been considered a healthy carbohydrate. In fact, there's enough vitamin C in a potato to cure scurvy. The idea that the consumption of (non-fried) potatoes are a cause of renal cell carcinoma strikes me as counter intuitive!
Likewise with me, especially since potatoes have formed the staple food of whole populations of people who appear to have thrived on them. I'd want more evidence and there's already contradictions in the studies we have to hand.
Potassium a little raise – had kidney cancer – one kidney- information from doctor – eat white bread ,no sweet potatoes and a host of
Other foods that are high in potassium .
Your site seems to disagree. confused.
Did the study control for what people dump on white potatoes (butter, sour cream, bacon bits)??
Would it be accurate to say that all bread induces large sugar spikes in the blood which in turn damage our arteries. Wheat had the highest correlation with heart disease amongst the China Study data
Mark: "Would it be accurate to say…" I can't speak to the heart disease part. (And I don't remember wheat having a correlation to hearst disease in the China Study–do you have a page number for my curiosity?) But I can speak to your question about bread and sugar spikes. According to a table in Dr. Barnard's book on diabetes, two kinds of bread result in significantly less blood sugar spikes: rye and pumpernickel. It may depend on the other grains and the grain ratios in the bread on what the sugar spike ends up being, but the general public may be concerned with blood sugar spikes can certainly enjoy some bread of some types.

Had a debate with a friend yesterday and he borderline started to PMS(probably because he's confused by all the marketing BS). I wish I could help him understand that Speedplay is the best cleat/pedal system out there and that the competition is living in the stone age with systems that were derived from skii'ing. Instead I'm going to make this thread and later show him clear proof that the best pedal/cleat system is SPEEDPLAY.
-Great idea in 1984...no doubt! cough: It's 2013 cough:In 1984, the French company LOOK applied downhill snow skiing binding or cleat technology to pedals producing the first widely used clipless pedals. Initially used by triathletes in order to facilitate faster "transitions"
-Great idea, lets improve downhill snow skiing technology and make it easier to walk around in(you guys skii on your bikes right?)The next major development in clipless pedals was Shimano's SPD (Shimano Pedaling Dynamics) pedal system. Whereas Look cleats are large and protrude from the sole of the shoe, SPD cleats are small and could be fitted in a recess in the sole, making it possible for walking
Fast forward now to modern civilization -> -> (warp mode engaged)
-So what do we have here? Oh an American company producing the best quality pedal known to cycling mankind and it's designed specifically for Cyclist and not a derivative of Skii'ing? INSANITY!!!The first Speedplay pedal, the X, was patented in July 1989 by Richard Bryne. The company was founded in July, 1991. Speedplay is a brand of clipless bicycle pedal manufactured by Speedplay Inc. in San Diego, California. Models include Zero, Light Action, and X for road cycling, Frog for mountain biking, and Drillium for downhill. Speedplay pedals are used by many top professional racers, such as Cadel Evans, Fabian Cancellara, Jens Voigt, Taylor Phinney, and Thor Hushovd.
Now lets look at some cleats and this is where the insanity really kicks in.
Double GROSS!!! ^^
So what does this mean for your cycling efficiency? OUT THE DOOR! It means you will unclip when pulling up and potentially cause a crash(don't sprint kids). It can also mean that you are losing efficiency by jumping around on the pedals.
And now to Speedplay! Keep in mind here that the only portion that engages the pedal is the center piece and it does not see contact with the road unless you decide to go to the beach and start jogging in your cycling shoes(For you special people).
My god these guys are good!!!
American company with great QC and keen insight into cycling! Perfection!Speedplay employs 30 people in its San Diego headquarters. Most pedals are assembled hereexcept for two, which are assembled in Taiwanand a lot of components are sourced locally, Bryne said. The best way to achieve perfection is doing it locally, he said. Its been 18 years and no recalls due to fastidious QCwe check and recheck.

By CELESTINE BOHLEN
Published: August 10, 1999
MOSCOW, Aug. 9— As the race to succeed him next year threatens to slip out of his control, President Boris N. Yeltsin tipped his hand, and Russia's political apple cart, by firing his Prime Minister today and replacing him with a former K.G.B. officer and loyal aide who he said was his favorite to become the next president.
From a politician who regularly uses surprise as a weapon, Mr. Yeltsin's latest move, nominating Vladimir V. Putin (pronounced POO-teen) to replace Sergei V. Stepashin -- in his fourth Government shake-up in 17 months -- was met with more dismay than shock. Even former allies accused him of playing politics at the expense of the increasingly fragile authority of Russia's central Government.
''All this smacks very much of the agony and madness of the Kremlin, and it is all hard to explain,'' said Boris Nemtsov, a former member of Mr. Yeltsin's team who himself was once tapped briefly as a potential heir. ''The only explanation that comes to mind is that Yeltsin does not believe that Stepashin can be his successor or thinks he is unworthy of being his successor.''
The Communist Party leader Gennadi Zyuganov was even more biting. ''Who will take any Prime Minister seriously if they are changed like gloves?'' he asked during a interview on the radio station Ekho Moskvy.
Although Mr. Putin, 46, quickly sought to reassure the country and the current Cabinet that he would make no changes, news of Mr. Stepashin's abrupt dismissal caused a drop in the value of the ruble and knocked down prices on the stock exchange, which had been rebounding from last August's devastating financial crisis.
As Muscovites openly voiced their disgust at the Kremlin's latest game of musical chairs, Western governments and the International Monetary Fund -- holders of Russia's mountain of debts -- were more cautious, saying publicly that they were certain Moscow would stay the course.
Mr. Yeltsin and later Mr. Putin reassured Russians that they intend to have the nation's scheduled elections go ahead as planned. ''In one year for the first time in the country's history the first President of Russia will transfer power to a fresh, newly elected President.'' Mr. Yeltsin said in a televised address. ''In any case he will be your President, respected Russians, he who has won in honest and clean elections.''
Mr. Stepashin, catapulted into the Prime Minister's job just three months ago, was unexpectedly called to the Kremlin early this morning and told he was being fired. Hours before, Mr. Stepashin had flown back to Moscow from the southern province of Dagestan, where he had been dispatched to oversee efforts by federal forces to quell an armed rebellion by Islamist radicals.
Mr. Yeltsin change of Prime Ministers comes as Russia is trying to quell a flare-up of violence in the volatile north Caucasus, although few experts think that Mr. Stepashin's handling of the crisis was the immediate reason for his dismissal.
In his televised statement, Mr. Yeltsin made no specific criticisms , but made it clear that Mr. Stepashin, 47, a soft-spoken former police officer, had failed to qualify as a strong presidential contender capable of keeping Mr. Yeltsin's foes at bay.
Instead, Mr. Yeltsin praised Mr. Putin, as ''the person capable of consolidating society, the person who basing himself on the broadest political forces, is capable of ensuring a continuation of reforms in Russia.''
''I trust him,'' said the President, who spoke slowly, looking straight at the camera. ''But I also want all those who in July 2000 will come to the polling stations and make their choice to have similar confidence in him. I think Putin will have enough time to show his worth.''
Mr. Yeltsin today also officially opened the election season by signing a formal decree setting Dec. 19 as the date for elections to the 450-seat lower house of the Parliament, or Duma. Presidential elections are to follow in July 2000, when Mr. Yeltsin's second and final term comes to an end, according to the Constitution.
His annointing of Mr. Putin today was another confirmation that the battle over who will lead Russia into the post-Yeltsin era is already under way. An opening shot was fired last week not by the Presidential administration, but by the ambitious Mayor of Moscow, Yuri M. Luzhkov, and a handful of regional governors who formed an electoral alliance in defiance of the Kremlin.
That alliance, which many believe will draw former Prime Minister Yevgeny M. Primakov back into politics, ultimately as a presidential candidate, may have set off Mr. Yeltsin's abrupt move today. For several days, Russian newspapers have speculated that the President would try to regain the political initiative.
Mr. Putin's nomination must now be confirmed by the lower house, scheduled to return from vacation and take its first vote on the new Prime Minister next Monday. If it votes three times against the President's candidate, the Russian Constitution says it must be disbanded. Since a majority of parliamentary deputies do not want to lose their seats and privileges before the December elections, most analysts expect that Mr. Putin -- like Mr. Stepashin before him -- will be approved.
The United States, having been through this drill repeatedly during the Yeltsin presidency, attempted to play down the significance of the latest shakeup.

The two UK distributors for the Raspberry Pi are set to switch back to a normal ordering procedure, making it quicker and easier for buyers to get hold of the low-cost computer.
V3 understands that RS Electronics and Premier Farnell, the two firms handling distribution of the Raspberry Pi, will shortly announce that they are reverting to their standard online ordering systems for customers purchasing the £25 computer.
Until now, demand for the Raspberry Pi has outstripped the available supply to such an extent that both distributors have had to implement a two-stage procedure, whereby buyers register their interest and are put into a queue to be offered the chance to purchase one at a later date.
Raspberry Pi orders had already topped 350,000 by the middle of April and showed no sign of slacking off, but it appears that supply may be finally catching up with demand.
The Raspberry Pi was reviewed by V3 last month and was impressed by the device, called it a, "miniature marvel that shows just how small and cheap you can make a working computer".
Eben Upton, founder and executive director of the Raspberry Pi Foundation, was also the most recent industry figure to feature in V3's Hot Seat.

2015 UNHCR subregional operations profile - South Asia
| Overview |
India, Nepal and Sri Lanka offer asylum to a considerable number of refugees, although they are not signatories of the 1951 Refugee Convention. UNHCR cooperates with the Governments of these countries, as well as with NGOs and other stakeholders, to protect, assist and find durable solutions for refugees and other people of concern.
The main populations of concern to UNHCR in the subregion include more than 200,000 refugees and asylum-seekers of various origins living in India (of whom some 30,000 are registered with UNHCR); nearly 40,000 refugees and asylum-seekers in Nepal (of whom some 25,000 refugees from Bhutan live in two camps); and nearly 2,400 refugees and asylum-seekers, 10,000 returnees, and 30,000 IDPs in Sri Lanka.
All three countries have seen a growing number of people seeking asylum, and this trend is likely to continue in 2015. In the absence of national asylum legislation, UNHCR conducts registration and refugee status determination (RSD), and facilitates the resettlement of vulnerable groups. However, the processing of resettlement submissions for refugees from Bhutan in Nepal is becoming labour-intensive, a situation that is expected to increase as more complex cases are considered. Similarly, the substantial increase in asylum applications in Sri Lanka in 2013-2014 has challenged UNHCR's capacity to conduct RSD and to process cases for resettlement.
Sustainable livelihoods, reliable community-support networks, and access to specialized services for people with special needs, are some of the main challenges faced by refugees in the three countries. In India, poverty is a key challenge for the majority of refugees and asylum-seekers, who may face discrimination from local communities with little understanding of refugee issues. The quality of public health and education in Nepal's camps has been adversely affected by the departure of skilled refugee workers, who were resettled. Meanwhile, in Sri Lanka, refugees, the internally displaced and refugee returnees struggle to meet their basic needs, and the lack of a comprehensive national policy on land rights has had an adverse impact on the sustainability of return. More recently, national security concerns have led to the shrinking of asylum space in Sri Lanka, with the detention of refugees and asylum-seekers, as well as instances of refoulement.
While the three Governments have adopted various approaches to deal with the different refugee populations in their countries, UNHCR fills the gaps in terms of protection, assistance and durable solutions. It focuses on the most vulnerable, including women, children, the elderly, survivors of sexual and gender-based violence, and those with special needs. It also advocates adopting national refugee frameworks and accession to international refugee instruments.
Through stronger partnerships with the various Governments, UNHCR aims to enhance asylum space, including by: identifying opportunities for local integration; improving livelihoods for urban refugees; ensuring the smooth voluntary return of refugees from India to Sri Lanka, and possibly Myanmar; identifying other durable solutions for refugees from Bhutan; supporting a sustainable return for those internally displaced in Sri Lanka, something that is expected to be facilitated by access to land in the north; and ensuring the expeditious resettlement of vulnerable refugees, for whom voluntary return to their countries or local integration is not possible.
In 2015,UNHCR will continue to advocate for a favourable protection environment in South Asia, including freedom from arbitrary detention and refoulement. It will support national capacity-building efforts of the three Governments by training border and other law enforcement authorities, judiciary, lawyers, media, and local NGOs. The Office will work closely with refugee communities to enhance their self-protection and self-assistance capabilities, until a durable solution can be achieved for groups and individuals of concern to UNHCR.
| Response and implementation |
In India, UNHCR will continue to build on the positive understanding it has with the Government regarding refugee issues. It will review opportunities to: incrementally provide direct refugee protection; share biometric data; run regular training sessions on RSD processes; and include particularly vulnerable refugees in government social welfare schemes. The Office will continue to expand its outreach to the Indian public and engage more prominently with new civil society actors, in order to increase refugee access to urban support mechanisms.
In Nepal, the Office will continue the resettlement of refugees from Bhutan and, in close cooperation with other concerned Governments, search for other durable solutions for families remaining in camps. It will continue to advocate a simpler visa-waiver process for urban refugees who are accepted for resettlement and ways to assure the safe transit of Tibetans to India. UNHCR will also seek the issuance of documentation for the long-staying Tibetan population.
In Sri Lanka, UNHCR will enhance its capacity to conduct RSD and resettlement submissions, as the only durable solution available to refugees. It will seek access to all asylum-seekers and effective protection for them by the Government. The Office will also facilitate the voluntary return of Sri Lankan refugees and those internally displaced, in safety and dignity, and will assist them to reintegrate through community mobilization projects. While phasing out its programme for IDPs in 2015, UNHCR will liaise with other actors to help ensure a smooth handover.
| Financial information |
UNHCR's overall financial requirements for South Asia have gradually decreased during the past five years, with the 2015 budget set at USD 36.2 million. This trend reflects the downscaling of IDP-related activities in Sri Lanka and the decreasing number of refugees in Nepal's camps. However, Sri Lanka requires resources to ensure protection and basic assistance with increasing numbers of asylum-seekers; Nepal needs resources to sustain the group resettlement programme that is dealing with more complex cases than in the past. Meanwhile, the financial requirements for India have grown, in accordance with the rising number of refugees living in the country's urban areas.

in Problem solving
Can anyone help? I just used liquid slug clear (diluted) on my flower bed of flowering plants to combat the huge snail and slug problem I seem to have but then totally forgot that I shouldn't use it on the strawberry plants in another flower bed and used some on these. Obviously it's February and no where near fruiting time but I'm worried that I put this on plants that will bear fruit that we will eat. Will it be safe to eat the strawberries later on in the year? I am thinking it will but dont want to poison anyone.
Product DescriptionSlug Clear Liquid- For use on flowering and ornamental garden plants- 250ml makes 75ltr of solution, treats up to 67m²- Kills slugs and snails- Invisible to pests- DO NOT use near edible crops
"I contacted Scotts (the makers of Slug Clear) to enquire how long the ground, which had been treated with this, should be left before growing edible crops on it.At least a year they said."
It depresses me to hear that people still have such little regard for the effects on wildlife.
I have to agree Nut.
Try this rwjjsy.
Nasty dangerous stuff - described by the manufacturers as 'potentially dangerous to wildlife' .
Gosh that stuff sounds awful! I'd be scared less I splashed it on my skin
Thank you Edd
Thank you Mike. Its a shame we're not all in the position to rehome hedgehogs from rescues to provide them with homes and us with slug monitors!
I used slugclear liquid up until last year, and it really worked. I had a cat who was very prone to eating slug pellets, so I had to use something that was invisible, and found it was a lot better than the pellets, forming a solid barrier around the flower beds which lasted 2 to 3 days at a time, even through light rain.
Now I am cat-less this year, we went back to pellets, and the slugs and snails have invaded my gardens big time!
Is there a "glut" of molluscs this year, or am I not putting enough down?. Tried to find a stockist of the liquid in Sheffield, to no avail, so will try the nature friendly pellets as mentioned here. Does anyone know what shops stock those or the liquid?
Most garden centres sell the eco-friendly ones - some actively promote them - look for packs where the active ingredient is ferrous sulphate.
I've been able to get them from Notcutts.
Thanks Dove from above
I'll look out for that!
There does seem to be a glut if slugs this year and, against all of my green principle, I have been scattering pellet's with wild abandon! I listened to a well known gardeners radio programme where someone asked what were slugs for? one answer was that they eat rotting matter in gardens ..... true, but since when have my lovely fresh green lettuce been rotting matter???
Please Please Please can everybody stop using chemicals, it makes my heart ache to think of the damage we are doing to the soil, if a company who want you to buy this stuff is actually telling you it last's a year, it's almost certain it last's longer, plus I wonder did they say what damage it does in that year.
I don't want to preach at people, as everyone has a right to their opinion but please just think a little harder before you use chemicals
End of Rant!
I totally agree Fraxinus
What can I spray it with is a popular question
scattering pellet with abandon is the norm
and spraying it when you don't even know what it is
I use no chemicals and don't have the problems reported daily on here
I always try to use nemetodes as they are the most natural and effective slug killers; however they need dry weather to water them over the soil! Very difficult this year! The pellets that I use are organic by the way, I was trying to bring a note of lightness into the discussion!
You are very fortunate nut cutlet in not being plagued by slugs. We live next to railway waste land where slugs seem to thrive.
Reikijo wrote (see)
It may be down to not having, either directly or indirectly, killed off those animals which eat the slugs
Hi nutcutlet,
So glad some one agrees with me, I never use chemicals, but I do suffer from slug damage but not in such a bad way that I can't control with organic means. I think cultural control comes into it in a big way, it's a small price to pay for clean soil!
There's a lot of like minded people on the forum Fraxinus.
I found that by using the liquid, I could spray it around the beds onto the concrete and not on the soil - therefore I imagine I was causing LESS damage to the soil that way?
I have a major slug problem and although using nematodes still have to do a nightly torch expedition. One thing I have noticed though which nobody else has mentioned, if you find slugs on a nice dry day when tidying around, if you put them in a dry trug and just leave them it doesn't seem to occur to them to climb out and they will die within an hour or so because they can't be in the open when its dry. Problem solved!

Brattleboro Retreat can use building for vetsFebruary 19,2013Retreat can use building for vets
BRATTLEBORO The Vermont Environmental Court has sided with the Brattleboro Retreat on a proposal to house patients participating in the psychiatric hospitals Uniformed Service Program.
The program brings to Vermont firefighters, police officers, emergency medical technicians and service members suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder.
The retreat wants to use the eight-room Meadowlark Inn on Gibson road to house the patients while they are in Brattleboro.
The town Development Review Board approved the plan last June, but two neighbors objected, saying the Retreats use of the building would transform the property into a therapeutic community residence. They asked the environmental court to overturn the boards decision.
The Brattleboro Reformer says a judge ruled the retreat could rent the rooms to patients, although it could not offer psychiatric services or therapy there.MORE IN This Just In

It might be a clue. It appears that most of their software is related to scanners. So perhaps the original image was a print.
that makes sense too it wouldn't have photo properties if it was scanned into his computer. ugh this is just making me crazy!
If it has an "image taken on" tag, that might give you a clue as to when it was scanned if it was from a magazine.
I can't recommend a specific forum, but there are quite a few out there.
But if your marriage is on the line over this, why not discuss it with him?

Our Customers
Steve MaidmentGeneral Manager, Digital Channels and Innovation
Our customers are global and testing in each region is typically not possible. Bugwolf assembled an elite team of beta-testers in regions relevant to our customers and issued each with credit cards. This meant they tested our e-commerce tool in a real world environment and found bugs we didn't even know existed.
David MastAsia Pacific Sales Leader, IBM - Bluemix PaaS
Bugwolf customers tell me they are realising significant ROI by freeing their lines of business from user acceptance testing while decreasing time to revenue through streamlining product delivery shipments. And equally important to them is Bugwolf's identification of significant bugs prior to moving apps into production.
Todd CopelandGeneral Manager Digital, National Australia Bank
Bugwolf provides an innovative approach to testing, especially in digital. Our initial bug hunts demonstrated a significant opportunity to reduce the cost of testing whilst maintaining (and often enhancing) quality as we increase the speed to customer value. The return on investment is compelling.

DH is sleeping right now so I plan on getting the story when he gets up. But, I just needed to get this all out and see what you guys thought? Does something sound fishy?
A few days ago, DH told me that Saturday night some of the guys were going out for a drink for one of their birthdays.
He gave me the details...He would be home before 1 am, only going to a local bar...nothing crazy. (I wasnt giving him a time to be home or anything, this is just what he told me) No big deal.
He left the house at 8:30, text me at 10:30 saying that the birthday boy doesnt get off of work until 11, so they are all just drinking and waiting for him at his house (one of the guys going lives there too).
He said he did not know that until he got there.
At 11:15ish the text said what bar they were going to, and that he was going to have a beer and come home.
At 12:00 the text said that one of they guys girlfriend got into a car accident, "everything is fine but the are just finishing up with that so he is going to be later then 1 am because there was a delay."
I was half asleep so I just said "K?" and I saw this morning that he text me after that..."Are you mad?" and "Im not drunk, I swear"
I really have a feeling that something is up. Especially with the girlfriend getting into an accident at 11:30-12... she is 7 months pregnant, where was she going? Not dropping her boyfrind off because he was already there. Also, with the words he used in the text "finishing up with that and there was a delay" That is just not like him to use those words.
I have no reason not to trust DH, he very rarely goes out with his friends, he is not some party crazy guy. He does like to drink. His friends are mostly single, or even if they aren't single they don't really give a crap what they do.
I feel like I need to repeat...I am not a crazy wife. We have a good relationship for the most part. This is just bugging me that something is off....
