In our health library, you will find all of the information you need to achieve your goals of making a healthy lifestyle change. So, start reading and start losing!
Health Tips
From tips on how to lose weight effectively to ways to combat boredom eating, this collection of informative articles covers a wide range of health topics that matter to real people, like you.
If you have children or grandchildren, you have likely noticed that their first resort when bored is to turn to food for something to do. What's even more interesting, is that the same habits we witness in children are also found on most adults as well.
Even among adults, with enough time on our hands, most of us will eventually use them to put something into our mouths, not out of hunger but out of boredom. If you can short-circuit that pattern, you've made a major victory in changing a common, unhealthy eating pattern.
But it's easier said than done. Boredom eating is an easy, automatic response to get into. Most of us develop it early in life and reinforce it for years and years. How many times have you wandered idly over to the refrigerator, pulled it open and stood gazing vaguely into the bright interior, waiting for some moment of inspiration? That's boredom eating. If you were actually experiencing hunger, your physical need would bring you to a quick decision.
Now, how many times have you caught your kids doing it? One woman we know remembers a summer afternoon when she wandered into the kitchen as her mother returned from the store. She stood doing the "refrigerator gaze" for a good, solid minute while her mother hustled around her putting groceries away, until mom became annoyed at the obstacle and demanded to know what the child was doing.
"I'm hungry!" she whined.
"No you're not," her mother snapped. "You're in the way, is what you are! Now, go outside and sweep the steps!"
It's too bad we don't catch ourselves at it and redirect with the same definitive response. By paying attention to those habits developing in our kids, and teaching them ways to identify and redirect themselves, we too can learn to control our own false hunger signals.
Know it when you see it
The "refrigerator gaze" is a remarkably reliable flag, and one you can share with your children to help them learn to identify what's really bugging them, boredom or hunger. Put it to the test. Next time you find yourself standing in front of the pantry cupboard or the refrigerator waiting for inspiration, suddenly offer an active alternative.
You may already have a couple diversions on hand that you've put aside for summer, fresh art supplies, a few new books, DVDs or even video games that you're waiting to break out when the kids are in the depths of the summer doldrums. Consider saving those for moments when boredom is being expressed as a desire to eat.
Asleep at the...bowl?
Distinct from the bored pursuit of snacks, another dietary risk of summertime is mindless munching. This is not when food is sought out as a diversion unto itself, but rather, when it's mindlessly consumed, ancillary to some particular activity. Having a bag of chips open nearby and periodically grabbing a handful between levels of Super Mario, that's mindless munching. If your kids are watching TV and they go from one snack to another to accompany their viewing, that's mindless munching.
It's not always bad to have a snack with an activity, but be aware, and help your kids be aware of how that intake builds up. We rarely engage in mindless munching while we're doing something physically active. Kids splashing in the pool will almost never bother to get out for a handful of corn chips. Even something like painting or working with clay is engaging enough that most kids won't ask for, or even bother with a snack if it's offered.
But with sedentary activities like TV, video games or even reading, the accompanying snack is a quick route to needless weight gain. Not only are they taking the junk in, they're not burning anything, either.
Prepare for resistance
But be forewarned: kids will defend their supposed hunger, especially in those self-assertive "tween" years. They'll argue that it's not boredom; it really is hunger. You may get caught in the trap of playing "list the specials" for a resistant child, only to have each idea rejected.
If the answer to a food suggestion is "boring," you can be pretty sure that you're dealing with ennui and not hunger.
For working parents, your kids may be in structured care or day camps during the summer, but when you get home from work, there's still a lot of hours left in those long summer days, so you could face an evening full of this sort of thing, even after you've given them a proper supper.
And for stay-at-home parents who are busy with various tasks around the house, it's easy to let the usual routine deteriorate a bit as kids fend for themselves a bit more-and sometimes too much! As much as we like to relax routine during summer, one important tool for limiting boredom eating is to stick to some kind of regular structure, and to put some of the responsibility on the child (age-appropriate, of course).
If your kids get to do more of their own meal preparation during the summer, be sure to have them choose something substantial with protein to start their day. And then have them keep track of their own nibbling, perhaps by keeping a running list of what they're eating and when; even the smallest children can draw pictures of what they're having. Because if children aren't really satisfied by what they're eating, just like adults, they try eating some more, and on an idle summer day, that can really start to add up.
Food journaling is a great tool for people actively trying to manage their weight, but it's also a very good way to raise kids' awareness level about their own mindless munching. And it's another little task to keep their mind busy for a few moments--not to mention that it could help keep those handwriting skills fresh over the long summer, too!
THROUGH THICK & THIN: Boredom Eating
It's paradoxical that when we eat out of boredom, we eat the most boring things: bagged snacks, cookies, sodas, a slab of baloney on processed white bread. It's food that takes little attention or effort, but it's also usually pretty unsatisfying. For kids and adults, limiting the choices on hand to a few good, healthy snacks--especially if they take some minor preparation--can help limit some of the summer's idle intake of empty calories.

ZF-10236: Should Zend_Mime_Decode::decodeQuoatedPrintable user quoted_printable_decode instead of iconv_mime_decode
This is more of a question than a bug (well could be a bug). I have emails being saved as files so that I can later parse them for a unit test. And example of the body:
=0D=0AHello Brian Strickland,
=0D=0A=0D=0Adept editor has= requested Department - Editor access for Department of= Art. A user with Department - Editor access will be a= ble to do the following:=0D=0A
ul>=0D=0A=09Update any Department= {quote} ... When I do the following, nothing changes: $body = ""; Zend_Mime_Decode::splitMessage(file_get_contents($emailFile), $headers, $body); print Zend_Mime_Decode::decodeQuotedPrintable($body); But when I do Zend_Mime_Decode::splitMessage(file_get_contents($emailFile), $headers, $body); print quoted_printable_decode($body); All of the =0D=0A and ='s get cleared out (which is what I wanted.) Maybe I'm just not using Zend_Mime_Decode correctly.
Created patch with suggested fix. Removing this method would break BC, so i've changed the encapsulated method call to quoted_printable_decode() as suggested.
Patch had no visible effect on results of phpunit AllTests run.
Fixed in trunk r23944
Ralph merged r23944 from trunk to release branch 1.11 r23984

Beautiful footage and animal stories

Comments about Untamed Americas Blu-Ray Disc:
I bought this for my brother and his wife who also are very outdoorsy and enjoy nature shows. We ended up watching it together and liked it so much I've ordered a copy for myself as well, so I can watch it again and again. National Geographic quality animal footage, with some rarely witnessed behaviour and stories. It was entertaining to watch and we all learned things we didn't know, sometimes about familiar animals, and sometimes animal that were totally new. A great glimpse into the natural world, and the variety of life in the Americas.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Rated 4 out of 5 by 4 reviewers.
Rated 5 out of 5 by RusticChic Copycat Perfection! First let me say, this entire collection rocks! I am a die hard PB shopper, so when I found these which are identical for WAY cheaper...I went ahead and ordered them to give them a shot. I have had them since October and all of the 40 pieces I have of this silverware hasn't tarnished or been affected one bit! I will also say, I hand wash all my pots and pans, glassware and silverware (I like to lengthen their lifespan#, but some of these found their way into the dishwasher, and when I opened it to unload they hadn't tarnished or worn down one bit. I would say they are dishwasher safe, yet it is entirely user preference. Everyone comments on the beauty of them. they are great quality and a very sturdy utensil, with a heavier handle #which I like). If you get the chance to buy them, do so! January 29, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5 by nikkiz LOVE LOVE LOVE I BOUGHT THE 8 PLACE SETTINGS OF THIS COLLECTION & IT IS FABULOUS. THEY ARE HEAVY AND COMFORTABLE TO EAT WITH AND LOOK GREAT! December 17, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by CiPi Nice, heavy feel. Good quality. I'll be hanging onto these for the long term. I like the heavy feel, and it looks spectacular. Almost feels royal. It's a very classic design and is great for casual use and guests. I've been raving about them since getting them, and I'll be recommending them to others. April 23, 2014
Rated 1 out of 5 by asiems Unless you want to wear your food - skip this style of flatware! We were very excited to find this flatware when we didn't receive any of the pieces we registered for in a similar style at another store. And when we saw it was half the price of the other store we jumped on it & purchased 14 place settings of each piece. WHAT A HUGE MISTAKE!! We thought the fact that this flatware was heavy was a sign that it was good quality... don't be fooled like we were. The manufacturer of this product never thought to consider that the handles & the utilitarian end of the utensil should be balanced. So if you set ANY piece of this type of flatware down on the edge of your plate, be prepared for the food to fly!! The super heavy weight of the handle makes it practically unusable. And trust me, you can't just learn to live with it. Unless you never set your utensils down, even with careful use, you'll end up with stained clothing, flooring, furniture, chair cushions... you name it! Oh & one other thing worth noting.. the price tags on these pieces are extremely difficult to remove. On at least 10 of the pieces the price tag pulled off the "silver colored coating" & we now have gold brass spots on the handles where the silver bit came right off... and that was without ever having even used any of the pieces. If we could return it all we would, but we kept it too long thinking we just needed to "adjust" to the weight of the handle & all would be well. We went back to the other store to compare their style of this flatware & I can assure you that theirs is properly balanced -- it can be done, it should have been done, but I imagine it's just cheaper not to have to worry about it. TRUTH: You get what you pay for!!! If we could get our $$$ back, we would definitely go with the better quality over this stuff, even at the higher price it's still cheaper than ruined clothing, flooring & furniture. If you're considering buying this stuff, DO YOURSELF A FAVOR & keep looking!!! March 14, 2013

We started out our weekend on a planned road trip to Long Beach. A "Surf Sisters Weekend" a bunch of women friends that get together to go surfing.
Not often do I leave my own dogs behind on a trip but we "sisters" thought that car pooling would be economical & there would be no room for all our dogs. The trip as always has a little change up . It was a little crowded in the back seat as one of "my sisters" dog sitter cancelled , so we got to share her dogs' backseat with him. You can only imagine how cuddly a big black Lab can be in a small space.
It was a long twisty drive we stopped for "P" breaks and to stretch our legs & our furry friend could mark untouched territory. "Brock" became excited once the familiar smell of salt water, crept into his nostrils. As we turned onto the beach access road you could see beach for miles and miles . (more…)

No matter how you use email, Windows 8.1 and Windows RT 8.1 have apps and services that'll work for you. You can keep your existing email addresses, or get a new one. Here are your choices.
Simple to set up and easy to use. With the Mail app, you can add all your accounts like Gmail, Yahoo!, Outlook.com, and even your work email. If you currently use an app like Windows Live Mail or Outlook Express, try the Mail app.
Check your email from any browser. With Outlook.com, you can sign in from any connected device to get to your email. You can even add accounts from other email services like Gmail, Yahoo!, iCloud Mail, and others. Outlook.com also works seamlessly with the Mail app and Outlook.
Manage work email, calendars, and task lists. Outlook helps you tackle it all. It's included free as part of Windows RT 8.1.
You can also mix and match. For example, you can use Outlook.com with the Mail app on your tablet at home, and with Outlook on your PC at the office. No matter which ones you use, they're easy to set up—we'll walk you through it.
The Mail app is the simple way to have all your email under one roof.
The key is to sign in to your PC with your Microsoft account. You can create one using an email address you already have, or sign up for a new one—it's free.
If other people also use your PC, make sure each person signs in to the PC with their own Microsoft account. That way, each person will only see their own mail.
If you've used Microsoft services in the past like Xbox, Hotmail, OneDrive, Messenger, Skype, or Windows Phone, you already have a Microsoft account—it's the email address you use to sign in. You might have used that Microsoft account when you set up your computer, so you might already be signed in with it. But if you're not sure, here's how to check.
Swipe in from the right edge of the screen, tap Settings, and then tap Change PC settings.(If you're using a mouse, point to the upper-right corner of the screen, move the mouse pointer down, click Settings, and then click Change PC settings.)
Tap or click Accounts, and then tap or click Your account.
If you're already signed in with a Microsoft account, your screen should look like this. You're all set!
If you're signed in with a local account, your screen should look like this. Tap or click Connect to a Microsoft account and follow the instructions.
If the email address for your Microsoft account ends in outlook.com, live.com, hotmail.com or msn.com, just sign in to your PC. Go to the Start screen, and open the Mail app—your email is waiting for you.
If your email address ends in a different domain, like gmail.com, yahoo.com, or comcast.net, here's how to add it.
On the Start screen, tap or click Mail.

Bold Strokes
The Party
MOCA's annual fundraising gala is always one of L.A.'s most highly anticipated parties, but this year there were more reasons to celebrate than ever before. Not only did the fete honor the museum's 35th anniversary, it also celebrated its new director, Philippe Vergne, and the opening of the high-profile Mike Kelley retrospective. Sponsored by Louis Vuitton, the star-studded event raised an impressive $2.4 million.
The Scene
Held downtown at the Geffen Contemporary at MOCA, the night attracted some of the biggest names in art, film, music and fashion—from Ed Ruscha and Barbara Kruger to Jane Fonda and Pharrell Williams. Following a viewing of the Kelley exhibit, guests poured into a gorgeous white tent for a candlelit four-course dinner by Wolfgang Puck.
The Highlights
Inspired speeches by MOCA board co-chairs Lilly Tartikoff Karatz and Maurice Marciano led the way for Vergne to take the stage. "By being here and supporting the art, you are supporting an institution that puts the art first," he said. "In many ways, this is just the beginning." And it certainly was—to everyone's surprise, the evening concluded with a rare performance by none other than Diana Ross. –Photos by Billy Farrell Agency

I'd be very grateful if anyone could help me out with a question that I have........ if co2 is 380 ppm and that is represented as .038.......What exactly does the .038 mean in words and fractions? Does it mean .038 of 1% .......38/1000 (thirty eight one thousandths of one percent) Any help appreciated.

I haven't been able to do the searches needed for a long post (to respond to LisaW) because my computer stopped recognizing my ebook Reader & memory cards, and so far I haven't found a fix. Reader updates are TOP priority!
Quick items:
Sharon W.: ppm normally means parts per million, so 1 ppm would be 1/1000000 or 0.000001 of whatever is being measured. I don't know if what you are looking at is a number in terms of volume or mass/weight or count of molecules. Each of the 3 would be different values for the same mix of gases.
KarenS: feel free to quote anything I post on these boards. These are public forums and I wouldn't post anything here that I didn't consider public.

I believe it was count of molecules Mark. In that case the 380 parts per million was then represented also as .038.......is that correct as far as you know? If so then back to the original question of what that translates to in words and whether the .038 is actually a portion of 1%.........it seems to me that it would have to be because it's far less than 1% right? Any further insight greatly appreciated.

If 1 ppm is 0.000001 then 380 ppm is 0.000380 when expressed as a simple decimal ratio. Rephrasing as a percentage is equivalent to moving the decimal over two places (1% = 0.01), so a sample with 380 ppm of something has 0.000380 or 0.038% of that something in the sample measured.

I can now report from personal experience that the "safely remove" command can be extremely unsafe on an HP PC with card reader slots in the front and running Windows Vista. After many wasted hours looking around in settings and hunting through help systems & an HP forum I have partially restored USB functioning on my PC, but it still isn't back to its original level. Updating my Readers is now possible again, but more difficult than before the system glitch.
Back to the topic of this thread.
My local newspaper mentioned the following in "There's a word for that":
"Agnotology - the study of deliberately created or culturally induced ignorance or doubt, such as falsehoods about evolution spread by creationists or past efforts by the tobacco industry to undermine cancer research."
The subject of climate change must be incredibly rich territory for agnotology.
Re: the latest from LisaW
The comment on timing of CO2 & temperature is a repeat of the Wattsup claim she posted before. See my 4/2 comments and READ the Engelbeen material I mentioned.
About Lord Stern's accuracy, I tried to use the URL Lisa gave & the page was unavailable. A search of the Telegraph found an apology from the columnist for misreading Stern.
Here is a summary of some issues from a more scientific source:
Unless I'm misunderstanding, Stern deliberately picked the high end of the danger range because that is what planners must handle. You don't plan disaster coping systems against best cases, you plan against worst cases.
About Hansen's testimony, quibbling that a Congressional committee isn't Congress is really amazing.
About Hansen's accuracy, here is a summary of one item:
The claims about 1934 vs. 1998 are 100th of a degree variations between data sources, heavily misrepresented by the topic twisters. Notice how old this is. Lies & attacks keep on going when people repeat them because they fit their bias.
Here is a summary of the other (the October 2008 data from Russia):
Yet again, distorters have been misrepresenting facts wholesale.

The Perils of GLOBAL WARMING!!!!!
Thursday, however, was the 14th consecutive day to stay below 100 degrees. That's the longest stretch of its kind in any June since 1913.
Uh -- we're talking PHOENIX ....
Better detection, not global warming, behind iceberg increase
Contrary to an opinion held by some researchers, a new analysis of more than 20 years of historical data has found no evidence that the increasing number of large icebergs off Antarctica's coasts is a result of global warming trends. "The dramatic increase in the number of large icebergs as recorded by the National Ice Center database does not represent a climatic change," said Brigham Young University's David Long. "Our reanalysis suggests that the number of icebergs remained roughly constant from 1978 to the late 1990s."
But .... iceberg abnormality was supposed to be proof of man made global warming.
Icebergs which calve from the Antarctic ice shelves and drift in the Southern Ocean deliver fresh water, dust and minerogenic particles to the surface ocean along the icebergs path. Each of these components may have an effect on growth conditions for phytoplankton, as might the mechanical effects of the iceberg keel disturbing the water. Although anecdotal evidence and small-scale surveys suggest that drifting icebergs increase local primary production, no large-scale studies have reported on this possibility in detail. A combination of satellite and automated iceberg tracking data presented here shows that the probability of increased surface phytoplankton biomass was two-fold higher in the wake of a tracked iceberg compared to background biomass fluctuations. Only during the month of February were the effects of icebergs on surface biomass likely to be negative. These results confirm icebergs as a factor affecting phytoplankton in the Southern Ocean and highlight the need for detailed process studies so that responses to future changes in the Antarctic ice sheets may be predicted.
Uh ... I'm thinking phytoplankton are a Good Thing(tm)
And, I'm still waiting to hear just how
has caused Global Warming .... on Mars
From Wiki:
Agnotology, formerly agnatology, is a neologism for the study of culturally-induced ignorance or doubt, particularly the publication of inaccurate or misleading scientific data.
Yeppers -- applies very, very well to the phony Man Made Global Warming
CNN Meteorologist: Manmade Global Warming Theory 'Arrogant'
Falling Belief in Man-Made Global Warming
And I found this: Man-Made Global Warming: 10 Questions
1. What is the perfect temperature? So, what is it, Mark?
2. Just what is the average temperature of the earth?
3. What factors have led to global warming in the past, and how do we know they arent the causes of the current warming trend?
4. Why is there such a strong effort to stifle discussion and dissent? Exactly -- don't ask questions, only ignorant fools ask question ... and "ignore the man behind the curtain"
5. Why are there such dramatically different warnings about the effects of man-made global warming?
6. Are there potential benefits to global warming? Well, maybe not for skiers ......
7. Should such drastic changes in public policy be based on a what if? proposition? And, what if we guessed wrong .... and cause worse damage?
8. What will be the impact on the people of the world if we change the way we live based on man-made global warming concerns?
9. How will we measure our successes? Hey, back in the 70's it was "The New Ice Age!" Maybe we should reverse what we did to make it go to Global Warming to make things cool again .... oh, wait ... nothing much
10. How has this movement gained such momentum?

Considering that more and more scientists are pulling back on wholesale support of Man Made Global Warming and that more people are seeing this as the attempt at control that it is rather than real science, excellent attitude.
But comparing climate to cigarettes? Weak.

This is to LisaW.
You have done a very thorough job stating your case against man-made global warming. I deal personally with someone on a daily basis that I must make this case to, so having to deal with it online is not something I would look foward to, so THANK YOU for taking the time to so clearly make sure the truth about man-made global warming gets out there. Keep up the good work!!
I must get back to work now and return to my "chicken little", who has decided today is the day he is going to personally tell each one of us SUV owners exactly what our part is in the destruction of the planet. I can't wait, oh joy,

Thank you LisaW for your excellent responses to Mark's post. I am fully supportive of caring for the environment, however I am not in support of make-work industries who force the expenses on the public.
It is a very real truth that man-made pollution is harmful to local environments, but that does not make it a global catastrophe. Global Warming is a multibillion dollar industry upheld by both lawyers and the media, who happen to be making a killing off it.
Another interesting aspect of Global Warming groups is their financiers. Most of the money global warming groups receive comes from the very same companies they claim to be the culprits behind stopping global warming legislation. Think about this.... If you own an oil refinery, do you want another built next door by a competitor? If you own an oil field, do you want a nearby oil field to be harvested by a competitor? Market value of goods is based on supply/demand. By generating a false lack of supply the MV is kept high. Alaskan oil fields contain more than enough oil to rid America of its need for foreign oil, and would also drive down the price of oil dramatically. This would cause a lot of very powerful people to make a lot less money, hence we see a large amount of money being funneled to groups who then use 90% of the money to pay the lawyers and administrators or to continue fundraising for the next year. Very little of the money donated to Global Warming groups actually goes to the environment.
We do need to curb our pollution wherever possible, but for one reason, the local damage. We have probably all seen the clouds of smog over our cities, over 70% of the population in the U.S. now lives in cities as opposed to 70% living rural 100 years ago. This is not because rural America is disappearing, it is due to the nature of the economy and jobs available. I personally have lived the majority of my life in rural settings, and living in a city now, I hate the air I have to breathe. However I am not going to claim the world will be destroyed because of it. 97% of the carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases released into the atmosphere is natural, only 3% is man-made. Instead of looking at graphs which average out all the temperature readings from the globe, many of which are now in urban heat island areas, look at each individual graph of temperature from the weather stations. Now look at where we have had temp increases..... wow, only in cities, weird
also look at the many pictures you can find on the internet showing the temp devices placed directly next to the bbq or A/C at many weather stations. The weather stations were forced to upgrade to fiber optic lines, which are extremely expensive, so in order to lesson the cost they run the lines only a few feet, leaving the devices sitting over the parking lot. Asphalt releases heat slowly, therefore nighttime temps seem to be much higher, raising the supposed average.
If someone wants to be sure they have the most accurate picture possible on a topic, they should not simply read those that agree with them, but read also those that disagree, and with the same open mind they have for that which agrees.
Take your time, look at individual data, not data that is cobbled together by someone with a job to try to keep. Make the decision for yourself what the truth is.
Follow the money.
Don't try to discredit someone simply by calling them data distorters or other names, look at their raw data and see who is actually distorting anything.
Don't be arrogant, the Earth has been here far longer than humans, our effect on the earth as a whole is fractional, and mother nature can easily handle it.
Don't lie and claim that the whole world is in danger, when it is merely a local effect.
I love spending time outdoors, and I do every chance I get, camping, rock climbing, golfing, hiking. I am all for caring for the environment, but not because of some supposed imminent global catastrophe which was supposed to kill the planet 10 years ago, still hasn't and is showing no signs of doing so any time within the next 10,000 years.
Instead of throwing billions of dollars at false global warming claims, let's give that money back to the working Americans and the companies who would love to employ the now unemployed Americans who are struggling to support their families.
Capitalism will dictate newer, more efficient energy sources, like for instance clean nuclear power (which if hadn't been held back by environmental extremists would be providing us today with energy at far far cheaper and greater amounts). Companies posing legislation to try to spend American taxpayer money to fund their inefficient and costly alternative energy sources are counter to the effort to provide better energy sources. A good alternative energy source does not need legislation, it's simple existence will cause it to be used.
News media has become so prevalent in the world today, that in order to get the ratings, it has become about getting out a possible story first, not caring whether you have all the facts or not. Modern media is also about fear..."Find out why you may be killing yourself by eating at the salad bar, tonight at 10".
Thankfully capitalism has also given rise to another form of media, the "debunking" media. This has allowed those of us who would like the truth to actually get it, because in order to be a successful debunking media agent, fact is actually required.
The attitude of the Global Warmists is one of "we have ours, now you can't have yours".
I would love to see these people go into China and tell an extremely poor family that they don't need heat because burning coal is bad for the environment. Or tell a farmer in Africa he can't use his 40 year old truck to farm his land because it is a gross polluter. Global warming activists haven't helped the environment, they have simply helped themselves to American's pocketbooks, driving up the cost of goods sold so companies are forced to raise prices to maintain solvency. Try maintaining your "green" attitude when you are struggling to support your family because the price of gas has gone to 4.50 a gallon.
There is nothing like having your 3 year old tell you he's hungry while having to collect all the change in the house to get some bread to get you to re-evaluate your position on what laws should be forced on you.

Karly, nocalgolfer ... and the rest ...
through the hysteria of
ARGH! NEW ICE AGE!! Life as we know it is dooooomed!!
in the 70's. I attended the first Earth Day while at college listening to the prof, sitting outside the Math hall, singing about his peaceful country home, extolling the dangers of polution, what man could do to end the world. Pretty much the same crap we hear now for Man Made Global Warming ... same type of idiot in the professor. At the same time he's going on and on with his gathering of disciples, he unwrapped a candybar, dropped the wrapper on the ground (uh, he was 3 feet from a trash container) and kept on, telling how we had to protect this world. Okay, I admit, I made a major point of walking over, standing right in front of him, picking up the wrapper, looking at him and walking it to the trash can. I've always been difficult.
But, then, why did things move to Man Made Global Warming (horrors! Fear@! Panic!) -- well, gee, the temperatures started getting warmer. Duh! So, out came the grant seekers, nay-sayers, panic mongers touting
Man Made Global Warming! Life as we know it is dooooomed!!
And, then, oops, just as things were heating up (
) for the Warmers,
the temperatures began dropping again
. See, that's what climate does -- it changes. That's why we have meteorologists and weather channels. Otherwise, we'd all know what the weather was going to be like tomorrow, because it would have been exactly the same a year ago or 3 years or 18 months -- whatever the known cycle is.
So, now, the cry has changed again
, 'cause well it just gets embarrassing when the climate doesn't go along with the fools and they have to change the name of the phenom -- especially when the name change is the polar (I am just full of them today!) opposite.

A dramatic brawl broke out during a nationally televised MMA event on CBS Saturday night between middleweights Jake Shields and Jason "Mayhem" Miller.
Jason Miller interrupted Jake Shields' interview following his victory against Dan Henderson and asked for a rematch for the Strikeforce title.
Words and shoves were exchanged and some WWEish mayhem followed.
Several MMA writers have called this an embarrassment for the sport and questioned how it will affect the future of the sport, but I agree with CBS programming vice president Kelly Kahl's take.
Kelly Kahl told Yahoo! sports the brawl wasn't going to negatively impact the future of MMA events on national television.
"I don't think it's going to happen again, or at least I hope it's not," Kelly Kahl said. "It's not what the sport needs. Things get out of control at times in every sport."
Exactly. Brawls and fights have happened in just about every sport (malice at the palace anyone?)
One bad incident isn't going to halt MMA's growth and national exposure.
Sound off on your thoughts.

Neshama works at the Fairfax Library.
This is an official blog for the Marin County Free Library.
All branches of Marin County Free Library will be closed on Monday, July 4 for Independence Day.
This installment: Africa revisited, Northwest short stories, and a novel about horses.
Lower River by Paul Theroux
I've dipped in and out of Theroux's books for years, starting with the haunting Mosquito Coast. Sometimes he can be charming, almost playful. More often he's dark and bleak. (I was especially drawn to Dark Star Safari in which he revisits the Africa he knew twenty years ago and finds it much and badly changed.) Here's a fictional take on that experience. Ellis had four wonderful years in working in poverty-stricken Malawi in his youth. When duty called back home he returned, and it's been a long dull slog ever since. Then his marriage collapses, the business he inherited has been driven into the ground, and his grown daughter is acting like a selfish bitch. So what does he have to lose? Back to the benighted village he goes with dreams of being of service again. And as it turns out, it's a total nightmare, with menace, greed, and misery all around. Yes there's a split-second save (phew) but he's lucky to escape with his skin. Atmospheric as all get-out, including smells, and weirdly entertaining despite--or perhaps because of--the darkness.
Happiness is a Chemical in the Brain by Lucia Perillo
Short stories set in the Northwest, with a straight-talking style that connects with the reader right away. (Like a fellow rider on the Greyhound next to you who just happens to have a really juicy story to tell--and aren't you lucky.) Three feature a pair of sisters and their dysfunctional mother. Louisa has Down Syndrome and her younger sibling's in and out of rehab but they manage to have wild adventures and come out relatively unscathed. The settings are often hard-scrabble, the emotions comic, tragic and rueful (often in close succession). Refreshing.
Boleto by Alyson Hagy
Ranch life in Wyoming is tough but Will, who loves horses, has a dream of making it in California. He's a truly nice guy, often at odds with his employers, first at a dude ranch and then in an estancia for polo ponies. He's taken a gamble with a filly which needs lots of patience and training. I fell right into this book, rooting for Will, learning about horses from the inside out, reveling in the intense mountain scenery. Seamless, suspenseful, and satisfying. (This after a handful of books I tried and simply couldn't connect with...which made it even more precious.)
Back next Monday.

From: Caden
Comments: I just bought these gloves because my others were to small!!! Really like the fit and
protection these gloves give! Great glove for rec league at a great price, colors are great to!!
From: Zachariah, cedar rapids ia
Comments: I'm just starting out with ice hockey and the cheapie gloves I had were not holding up
to me learning wrist shots and I was getting blisters in my palms. I visited Ice Warehouse and they suggested these Easton EQ30's.
They fell in my price range and offered great protection in my palms. I believe they actually helped me get the mechanics of a
wrist shot. Amazing comfort, lightweight but extremely durable. I love them and can't wait to learn more shots! Thanks again,
Easton & Ice Warehouse.
From: Jenny L. Santa Barbara, CA
Comments: Purchased these gloves a few months back and I have been extremely happy with them. Not
only are they extremely comfortable with great mobility, but the palm seem to show little to no wear beyond some of the tape
glue sticking to it. I owned a pair of CCM V06 gloves before this set, and within the same amount of time I owned these, the palm
had already worn through one layer and was on its way through the next. A few more weeks later, I had a hole in the pinky and
ring finger as well. Despite the more durable palm material, the feel is still pretty good through these gloves. It isn't quite as good
as some other gloves I have tried, but the trade off for better palms is easily worth it to me and the difference is not durable once
playing. The older versions of these gloves were the EQ3s for anyone looking to get the same gloves as before, and the EQ50s
(EQ5) are the upgraded version of this glove.

Hi everybody,
I am happy to announce a contest that I will be running in association with the A.M.C.A. and the A.M.C.A. foundation. Together we will be running an essay contest from October 1st 2008 until August 15th 2009 in hopes of getting 18 to 24 year old Americans excited about old motorcycles. The grand prize is a 1942 Harley Davidson 45 basket case, and an all expense paid vacation to sunny South Dakota to restore and assemble the bike under close supervision and guidance of trained professionals. You can read the full press release by clicking on this link--http://www.antiquemotorcycle.org/ ... ntest.html
It is my opinion that a Harley WLA is the perfect platform for a project like this, because of their value, and the vast amount of surplus parts that are readily available. Currently I have approximately 65 percent of the parts needed to complete this project. A lot of my friends in the A.M.C.A. and old motorcycle community have chipped in and donated a part here and a part there. I will be posting a detailed list of what parts have been donated, who has donated them, and what is still needed on http://www.antiquemotorcycle.org, and http://www.caimag.com. If you feel that this is a good cause and want to donate a part that is missing, then please email me at email@example.com. Supporters of the program will be able to be an active part of selecting the winner in Davenport 2009, and will have their name printed in a supporters list in American Iron Magazine, Iron Horse Magazine, and The Antique Motorcycle. Thanks for your support and enthusiasm!!
best regards,
Matt Olsen
A.M.C.A. Youth Coordinator

Back to Previous Page | Curriculum Home
SCP302: Phys App (2013-2014)
CURRICULUM PROGRAM: Science
COURSE TITLE: Physics Apps
COURSE LENGTH: 36 weeks
Laboratory Requirement: Students who take this course spend a minimum of 30% of their time engaged in hands-on laboratory exercises. All DoDEA Science courses have a minimum 30% dedicated time period for laboratory exercises. This translates to approximately 54 instructional days or 16 to 27 multi-day laboratories dedicated to student hands on laboratory time. Demonstrations and virtual laboratories, while useful in the classroom, do not count toward the 30% laboratory requirement.
Major Concepts/Content: This course is designed to present concepts of physics in relation to real- world experiences. Information is presented in an integrated approach, linking physics with technology, social perspectives, and the history and nature of science.
The course presents a thematic approach to physics using explorations of topics. Kinematics and dynamics are introduced by studying the physics of sports and transportation systems. Communication and information technologies are used to examine wave theory, light, and sound. Electrical and thermal energy topics are studied within the context of the home, as well as on a global scale. Applications of physics to health and medicine provide opportunities to study x-rays, CT scans, and ultrasound. Scientific predictions, such as those associated with radioactive decay, Newton's first two laws, the Law of Universal Gravitation, and special relativity, are contrasted with non-scientific views in order to highlight the characteristics of good science.
Major Instructional Activities: Scientific inquiry is defined as the diverse ways in which scientists study the natural world and propose explanations based on the evidence derived from their work. Scientific inquiry also refers to the activities through which students develop knowledge and understanding of scientific ideas, as well as an understanding of how scientists study the natural world (NSTA, 2004). Based on the philosophy that scientific knowledge is best acquired through inquiry, the course uses a variety of techniques to promote and inquiry in the classroom (ex. multiple revisions, high quality questioning, synthesis, making conclusions based on evidence, etc).
Instructional activities are staged in appropriate settings. They include laboratories, classrooms, forms of technology, and field studies. Teaching strategies include in depth laboratory investigations, demonstrations, collaborative peer-to-peer discussions, and student hands-on experiences.
Major Evaluative Techniques: All aspects of progress in science are measured using multiple methods such as authentic assessments, performance assessments, formative assessments, observational assessments, projects, research activities, reports, group and individual student work and conventional summative assessments.
Course Objectives: Upon completion of Physics Applications, students should be able to:
- Engage in full and partial scientific inquiries to design, conduct, and communicate scientific investigations to explore ideas about the natural world.
- Use scientific inquiry to design and conduct scientific investigations to meet a human need, make a decision, solve a human problem, or develop a product.
- Recognize and describe the interrelationship between science and technology.
- Apply the tools of technology (e.g., computers) in scientific endeavors.
- Identify qualities inherent in scientific behavior (e.g., reasoning, insight, energy, skill, and creativity).
- Discuss contributions of men and women of various social and ethnic backgrounds to science and technology.
- Apply science concepts to make decisions (weighing risks and benefits) about students' personal health and well-being.
- Assess energy transfer in the earth system and explain dynamic processes that determine global climate.
- Understand the principles of motion and forces.
- Apply principles of conservation of energy and describe the associated increase in disorder.
- Relate the interactions between matter and energy.

He is a shadow of his youthful self. Gone is the stocky, sturdy swagger; it's been replaced with loose skin, a few less teeth, and a general fragility. He is my faithful feline companion. He turned 18 in August. That's more a 100 in human years. We adopted him at the Agoura Hills Pumpkin Festival in California in October 1993. He was orphaned when his mom was hit by a car, and the local animal shelter rescued him. 35 bucks. Such a deal. 18 years of faithful (the feline version thereof) companionship, purrs and cuddles.
He was my oldest daughter's first pet, adopted when she was 3. He joined the older cats already part of our household, who looked on in resigned disdain. Soon enough, he had taken over the house with his charisma and outsized personality. Yet he always seemed to know whose cat he was. If we couldn't find him, chances were he was tucked up in her bed. Or under it if it was time for a car ride (How do they know this?). I would have the darnedest time getting him into his carrier for those vet trips and yet my daughter could put him in one of her American Girl doll dresses without so much as a scratch. For a few ridiculously funny minutes, anyway. He slept on her bed nearly every night. When she was sick, and had priority over the comfy couch in the den, he would perch overhead on the back, keeping watch. If I needed to wake her up for a medicine dose, he'd stare me down as I approached. As if to say, you know you need to clear that through me first.
He loved to find other creative places to curl up and sleep - amidst the pile of my daughter's stuffed animals, as if he thought he could blend in. Under the Christmas tree — a tighter squeeze as the big day approached, and yet he always managed to wedge himself in. As the girls grew up, we added another cat to our brood, a lovely female calico. He tolerates her. Several years ago, we all moved across the country from Los Angeles to the suburbs of New York City. And he got the chance to put his paws into some snow, and discovered the coziness of nestling in the Queen Anne chair next to the fireplace.
The girls grew up. And inevitably, he began to age.
And then our firstborn went off to college — a tearful goodbye that he probably didn't understand. I would still find him in her room for a few weeks after she left — on her bed, in a pile of clothes left behind. Oh, my daughter and her piles. Or next to those stuffed animals, still there, though purged and culled through the years.
And so he switched over to me. He's mine now, and that's all there is to it. And now that I have left my full-time NYC commuting job for a part-time practice from here in my home office, he is my shadow. My beloved magnet. I don't know whether I need him more in this transformative phase of my life, or whether it is he who clings to me, but whatever this is, we're in it together. When I am working, he is usually behind me on the couch, wrapped up in an afghan I knitted a few years ago. Sometimes I have the television on, or music, but sometimes all I hear is his snoring, his purring, or the cute meows he makes when he wakes up and doesn't quite remember where he is or how he got there. He sleeps next to me at night. My husband works mostly overseas so most of the time this is not a problem. When he's home, it takes a bit of maneuvering. Thankfully, my husband considers him the world's ultimate cat.
Yes, we are warped. But how we are rewarded. Is there a better feeling than cuddling up with a purring creature, who rubs their head against you, curls up next you and loves you unabashedly, flaws and all. I'm not sure there is.
And I'll take it. I'll take all I can get of it for as long as he's happy to give it to me. As long as he's happy, eating and pain-free - he's mine. And so I'll gloss over the occasional barf sessions in the middle of the night, the puddles of pee on the floor when his aim overshoots the top of the litter box (I am currently on version six of the "mega ultimate box"). I'll take it all, as long as his life is good. He's my bud, my magnet. Where I am, so is he.

"We wanted to frame our position as best we could as the president and others are deliberating about how they are going to go about dealing with this issue," said Summit County Sheriff and association President Dave Edmunds. "Yes, there needs to be firearm legislation to a certain point, but let's not go too far afield."
Edmunds said there is a lot the Association agrees on in Obama's gun plan.
"There are some provisions that make a lot of sense, such as having additional background checks for people who are mentally ill to make sure we're keeping guns out of their hands," he said. "And obviously we want to keep guns out of felons' hands."
In what may appear to be a challenge, the letter states, "No federal official will be permitted to descend upon our constituents and take from them what the Bill of Rights in particular Amendment II has given them," it read.
The letter adds that police officers would be "prepared to trade our lives for the preservation of its traditional interpretation."
Park City resident Bill Tumpowsky said he found the letter embarrassing and inflammatory.
"Why is it necessary?" he asked. "It's alarmism, and I think the letter played into that alarmism."
Tumpowsky added that he is "shocked" and "horrified" that this came from his own sheriff, who he voted for, and said the letter doesn't align with the views of many local residents.
"The idea that the federal government is going to attack 'Red Dawn' style and we all need our assault weapons to defend ourselves against the government I think is a scary mentality. I don't think it's patriotic. I think it's just the opposite," he said.
Tumpowsky, a gun owner, said he didn't see it as an issue of gun control, but of an evolving culture.
"It's certainly a discussion we need to have," he said. "I think Newtown, Conn. pushed everyone over the edge, because it was so horrendous and frustrating."
Tumpowsky said he isn't scared of "black" helicopters coming down and taking his rights away, but of someone with road rage carrying an assault weapon.
"Rage is a very dangerous emotion," he said. "I like the idea of trained people carrying guns with the authority to use them. But it's really pathetic if we all have to carry guns to protect ourselves. It's a significant loss of civilization, and that's what scares me."
Edmunds said the letter has been mischaracterized and was never meant to be a challenge to the President or anyone else.
"It was not meant to be incendiary," he said. "Gun control is an emotional issue. In this country right now, I can think of few issues that are more emotional."
Edmunds pointed out that as state peace officers, they are under no obligation to obey executive orders from the president.
"Those aren't laws. Those are directed at federal employees that are at his command," he explained.
Edmunds added that the Supreme Court has been clear that the right to keep and bear arms is an individual right.
"Yes, they can be restricted," he said. "Yes, there are certain provisions that can be put into place. But if you are talking about a weapons ban as some politicians are, we wanted them to understand our position. We will defend the Constitution."
If the constitution is trampled on, Edmunds said that peace officers not only have the right, but they have the duty to protect it.
"That was something every peace officer, when they put the badge and gun on, took an oath to protect and defend, up to and including trading their lives for defense," he said. "We're not there and we're not suggesting we're there. We just don't want to get there."
Edmunds compared the situation to Birmingham, Ala. during the Civil Rights era when a police commissioner enforced city and state laws that said African-Americans could not integrate into society.
"In the 1950s, the Supreme Court had already ruled that African-Americans do have a constitutional right to fully integrate into society, and there were police officers that were enforcing a law that had been deemed unconstitutional by the Supreme Court," he said. "What would it have been like if the police officers had said, we're not going to enforce a law that's unconstitutional?"
Twenty-eight of 29 Utah Sheriffs signed the letter. Salt Lake County Sheriff Jim Winder is not a member of the Association, but released a letter saying that he "supports the majority of the intent of the letter."
Winder told the The Park Record that above all, he supports the Constitution.
"If the underlying intention of the letter is to say that as constitutional officers, we swear an oath to the constitution, that underlying element is of course one that I support. But why we're in a position to have to defend it is the real question here. I don't understand why the association felt the need to send it," he said.
Winder added that he found the letter unnecessary, tersely worded and inflammatory.
"There's no basis to suggest there is an imminent federal incursion. And therefore, to suggest that to the public raises the stake in the discussion to a place it didn't need to go. If they really believe there is an impeding federal incursion and the president is poised for tyrannical subjugation, I guess that's an issue they'll have to defend," he said with a laugh.

Divya Bhaskar Gujarati Newspaper is number one newspaper at Gujarat. Divya Bhaskar is a Gujarati newspaper in Gujarat, India, owned by D B Corp Ltd. It is the largest circulated Gujarati daily, with the most number of editions in Gujarat.
You can newspaper also from vadodra, ahmedabad, mehsana, gandhinagar, surat, rajkot, charittar anand, bhuj, surendranagar, bhavnagar, himmatnagar, bharuch narmada, panchmahal dahod, palanpur, vapi-valsad, bardoli vyara, navsari, junaghad, jamnagar, amreli, patan, porbandar
In 2003, the Bhopal-based Bhaskar Group identified Ahmedabad, Gujarat as the city with highest potential for the fourth launch of Dainik Bhaskar outside Madhya Pradesh (MP). It surveyed 12,00,000 households, with a team of 1050 surveyors, 64 supervisors, 16 zonal managers and 4 divisional managers. The surveyors were gathered largely through posters at colleges and word-of-mouth publicity, instead of expensive print and TV advertisements. Nearly 40-50% of the surveyors were later absorbed in Dainik Bhaskar or Divya Bhaskar, while the rest were given a certificate of appreciation. The team was trained to reach out to 8 lakh households in Ahmedabad and 4 lakh households in adjoining districts, in a time span of 40 days. The newspaper was launched in Ahmedabad on 23 June 2003, under the name Divya Bhaskar, as No. 1 with 452,000 copies (a world record). Within 15 months, it entered two more cities of Gujarat: Surat and Vadodara. To counter the Bhaskar's group's threat, the leading Gujarati newspapers came up with color pages, price reductions and several high-value customer offers. However, by 2009, Divya Bhaskar became the largest circulated Gujarati daily with 11.5 copies.
The group's pre-launch door-to-door twin-contact launch program has been recognised as an Orbit shifting innovation. It has won Business Process Innovation award by Marico Foundation, and is a case study in several B-schools including Indian Institute of Management, Ahmedabad and SPJIMR.

View the Video @ Yale 360
For thousands of years, nomadic herdsmen have roamed the harsh, semi-arid lowlands that stretch across 80 percent of Kenya and 60 percent of Ethiopia. Descendants of the oldest tribal societies in the world, they survive thanks to the animals they raise and the crops they grow, their travels determined by the search for water and grazing lands.
These herdsmen have long been accustomed to adapting to a changing environment. But in recent years, they have faced challenges unlike any in living memory: As temperatures in the region have risen and water supplies have dwindled, the pastoralists have had to range more widely in search of suitable water and land. That search has brought tribal groups in Ethiopia and Kenya in increasing conflict, as pastoral communities kill each other over water and grass.
When the Water Ends, a 16-minute video produced by Yale Environment 360 in collaboration with MediaStorm, tells the story of this conflict and of the increasingly dire drought conditions facing parts of East Africa. To report this video, Evan Abramson, a 32-year-old photographer and videographer, spent two months in the region early this year, living among the herding communities. He returned with a tale that many climate scientists say will be increasingly common in the 21st century and beyond how worsening drought in parts of Africa, the Middle East, and elsewhere will pit group against group, nation against nation.
