Chocolate. You want chocolate. Sweet, creamy, melt-in-your-mouth chocolate. You can't stop thinking about chocolate. You ... just ... need ... chocolate ... Now!
We like to think obsessive food cravings that hijack our brains till we can't focus on anything else are our bodies' clever way of letting us know we're low on key nutrients (chocolate does contain magnesium) and need to refuel. In some cases that may be true. Hard-core athletes may crave protein or salt because they need to rebuild muscle and replenish electrolytes after an intense workout. Pregnancy (rare after 50, but becoming more of an option with infertility treatment advances), with its changing hormones and increased nutrition needs to support the baby's development, brings all sorts of strange desires for certain foods.
The same goes for any kind of extreme dieting that puts the body in starvation mode. If you're severely iron-deficient (also rare as you age, but possible), you may get bizarre urges to devour ice, laundry starch, chalk, paper, even rubber bands, dirt or clay — a throwback, perhaps to the iron sources our caveman ancestors had available.
"Start with the presumption that the true, original `value' in cravings relates to survival," explains Dr. David Katz, director of Yale University's Prevention Research Center in New Haven, Conn. "Iron is a soil nutrient, so chewing on clay or gritty material may mimic the original source of iron for our ancestors. The craving may persist because those who had it benefited from it. This is conjecture, but it makes sense."
In situations like these — extreme physical exertion or deficiency — cravings are signals of true nutritional need. "You're tapping into a Stone Age conversation with your body," Katz says. "Most cravings that persisted and were passed along are those that increased survival because they were about genuine need, in general or for specific nutrients, and the cravings drove our ancestors to satisfy that need. Those who did were more likely to survive and pass their genes on than those who didn't get the craving and ignored the cause."

Reviews for Chocolate Peanut Butter Grahams
"I make something very similar but use a brown sugar shortbread cookie recipe. I cut the dough in rectangles about the size of one quarter of a graham cracker. Once baked, I spread peanut butter between two cookies and freeze them. Once frozen, I melt real chocolate chips with a bit of butter or oil and dip the sandwich cookies into the melted chocolate chips. I normally decorate the tops with Christmas sprinkles, etc. Let them set. They freeze very well. Such a delicious combination. My family loves them!"
"These are fabulous. They didn't last long over christmas dinner."
"I have made these a few times. I even made these with chocolate graham crackers,so they are good either way. I also add some cookie sprinkles on top before the chocolate sets when I made these for christmas. I will keep making. cupcake"
"We made these and also the kind with Ritz crackers which I thought tasted very different PLUS everyone loved these the best! To me they taste like the Little Debbie Nutty Bars. They were a HIT!"
"these are really good but if you don't have graham crackers use ritz crackers they work the same and taste just as good bevie5"

Feel Good Friday offers comfort for cancer patients
Published: Monday, January 28, 2013 at 12:04 p.m.
Last Modified: Monday, January 28, 2013 at 12:04 p.m.
At the end of a work week, cancer patients and their caregivers may find TGIF an appropriate mantra because a day has been created especially for them at TMC.
Want to go?
Feel Good Friday is offered from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. every third Friday each month at Thomasville Medical Center. The free program is for cancer patients, caregivers and cancer survivors. Volunteers are needed. Those who wish to attend or volunteer are asked to call Elizabeth Parnell at 474-3231.
It's all spelled out in the event's name — Feel Good Friday at Thomasville Medical Center.
It's a day when cancer patients can forget about the disease — if only for a short time — and enjoy being fed and generally pampered.
TMC's oncology program coordinator Elizabeth Parnell organized the free event that comes about every third Friday each month. The program debuted Jan. 18.
"And what happened?" Parnell says with a smile, thinking back to the first event. "We had three inches of snow ... but we still had 14 people to show up for our first program."
Community volunteers offer various services on Feel Good Friday to participants — those suffering from cancer or who have survived the disease — who may indulge in such things as manicures, hair care, massages and even making crafts.
"Patient comments I heard at our first event were that they really enjoyed the initial program, and they were so glad there was somewhere local for them to go," Parnell said.
"We had a nice lunch, and we gave away door prizes every 30 minutes."
Parnell emphasizes that the program is also open to the participants' favorite caregivers.
"A lot of times they are left in a waiting room for a period of time. But, they are right there with the patient for long periods of time. We want them to come and enjoy the festivities, too."
Parnell, a High Point native, joined TMC's oncology program in October of this past year after working for nearly 14 years at Forsyth Medical Center. She is also an oncology nurse and formerly worked in that capacity at the hospital in Winston-Salem.
The Feel Good Friday idea, she said, was actually developed about 10 years ago by cancer volunteers. Forsyth initiated the program some years ago. Parnell brought it to TMC.
"Cancer stays in the back of the mind, even for those who have survived cancer," Parnell notes. "This is a time they can get away from their medical treatments of their diagnosis and enjoy themselves."
One of the volunteers on the first night was Heather Ashby, who owns Southern Comfort Massage in High Point.
Ashby gave her time and services as a licensed massage therapist and brought along her massage chair. She became involved in volunteering with cancer patients some time ago when a close friend died from the disease. Her friend had supported her as she pursued her massage therapy license. Ashby says she saw firsthand how the disease takes its toll and wanted to do something to help others who were suffering.
"A massage was one of the few things to help her relax and make her feel better," Ashby said of her late friend.
"Cancer patients go through a lot. Caregivers being there for them and helping them do all the things they need, or just being there emotionally for them is important. The disease takes its toll.
"If I can help them, even if it's just with a 10-minute chair massage, to relax … that's my goal."
Ashby said the participants at the first TMC program seemed to enjoy the massages. "We didn't have a great turnout because of the weather, but it seemed to make their day."
The program, which takes place at the hospital's Senior Link room, runs from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. each third Friday in the month. Those who would like to participant are asked to call 474-3231 and are welcome to float in and out or stay for the full four hours. "It would be great if they did," Parnell adds.
The TMC program is in need of more volunteers. Anyone interested may call 474-3231.
The next date for the program is Feb. 15. "And the weather is going to be beautiful," Parnell predicts.
The American Cancer Society offers a similar program, though more focused on those who may need assistance with physical tasks. That contact number is (800) 277-2345.

I love trade shows and conferences. They provide a look at the future of trucks and trucking.
My show season starts with Hanley Wood LLC's World of Concrete, which exhibits heavy-duty vocational vehicles. Next, the Technology and Maintenance Council of American Trucking Associations meets to develop recommended practices and training materials for commercial vehicle maintenance. Members also display the latest in truck equipment and components.
After that, the National Truck Equipment Association presents the Work Truck Show, showcasing all that's new in light- and medium-duty commercial vehicles. Finally, the Mid-America Trucking Show introduces long-haul and regional truckers to the latest general trucking products. The following are highlights from this year's shows and conferences:
Diesel exhaust emissions strategies. A battle is raging among engine makers over the best way to meet the EPA 2010 diesel exhaust emissions standards. Every manufacturer except Navistar International Corp. has announced that they will use selective catalytic reduction (SCR) to meet the limits for oxides of nitrogen (NOx) of 0.2 grams per horsepower per hour (g/hp/hr).
SCR requires a new after-treatment assembly behind the diesel particulate filter. Fed by a supply of an urea-water mix called diesel exhaust fluid (DEF), the system chemically converts NOx into nitrogen and water vapor.
Navistar will increase the amount of exhaust gas recirculation, the method all engine makers have used since 2002. International Truck and Engine Corp., a Navistar company, claims their in-cylinder solution costs less than SCR and requires no operator intervention, such as maintaining DEF levels. Proponents of SCR say under-hood temperatures are lower, smaller and lighter cooling systems are needed, and fuel economy is as much as 5% better. International is using credits, earned by making engines that surpassed previous standards, to meet EPA2010 since their current NOx output is 0.5 g/hp/hr.
Green vehicles. At the Work Truck Show, the main focus was green initiatives for work trucks, including alternative energy. Attendees were able to drive electric vehicles, natural gas- and propane-fueled trucks, and both electric and hydraulic hybrids.
The 10-minute ride-and-drive courses had some fairly steep block-long ramps, but all vehicles performed as well as or better than conventionally powered trucks. Domiciled trucks that are refueled or plugged in every day should present no problems for fleets.
Smith Electric Vehicles Corp. displayed two innovative electric trucks. The Newton handles payloads to 16,000 pounds. When limited to 50 mph, its range is 100 miles. The electric Transit Connect, based on Ford Motor Corp.'s new compact commercial vehicle, hauls 1,600 pounds for 100 miles at speeds to 70 mph. Both vehicles are dead quiet.
Idle reduction. Until recently, idle-reduction equipment was primarily for trucks with sleeper compartments, since over-the-road truckers need climate control when asleep. But day cabs also get hot and cold, and workers need comfort in extreme temperatures. Dometic Corp. and Artic Breeze manufacturer Hammond Air Conditioning Ltd. both offer battery-powered air conditioners. For heating, Autotherm's engine-off heater draws residual heat left in heater cores and the heating/cooling system to provide comfort for short periods.

Six tips for keeping your tires rolling
Each tire is made of carefully engineered components designed for a special purpose, as shown in this cutaway of a Goodyear Duraseal tire.
A dash-mounted tire pressure monitoring system such as the Pressure Pro indicates air pressure by tire position.
Doran Mfg LLC
Tire pressure monitoring systems (TPMS) use sensors inside the tire or valve, as in this ContiPressureCheck system.
Continental Tire
How much do you have invested in your tires? If you operate three-axle dumps, it may total anywhere from $2,500 for eight recap drive tires and two new steers, to almost $6,000 for 10 new premium tires. If you pull a trailer moving heavy equipment, you can add $4,000 or more. Add to that the effect that tires have on fuel economy, and tires can consume a significant portion of your fleet maintenance budget. You need to protect that investment.
When replacing tires, be sure you get the optimum tread for your needs. A shallow rib tread can reduce fuel use by at least 3% compared to a deep lug drive tire, but it won't provide the traction you may need for on/off road operations. Work with your dealer to get the best balance of structure, compound, and tread pattern.
When tires show uneven wear, compare them to the American Trucking Associations' Technology and Maintenance Council (TMC) Recommended Practice RP 219C - Radial Tire Wear Conditions and Causes. This guide analyzes causes of wear patterns and recommends corrective actions. Another useful document is RP 216C - Radial Tire Conditions Analysis Guide.
Wheels out of alignment can reduce fuel economy by 3% or more, and dramatically shorten tire life, according to the TMC.
When properly aligned relative to the chassis and to each axle, tires run straight with minimal wear. When axles are not perpendicular to the chassis, the resulting thrust angles cause tires to scrub across the pavement. With just an 1/8-inch misalignment, a tire rolling 500 revolutions per mile will be dragged sideways more than 5 feet each mile. That scrub contributes to uneven wear. Even worse, it takes added energy to wear the tire, lowering mpg.
Align all wheels, including any trailers. This means all wheels and axles are in proper alignment, not just the tractor steer tires. Axles must be perpendicular to the vehicle center line to avoid wear from thrust forces set up by wheels pointed to the side.
Steer tires should be checked for toe-in or toe-out, camber, and caster. Toe measures where the tires are pointing when seen from above. Caster is the angle of the steering assembly kingpin with the ground, as seen from the side. Camber measures if the tires are leaning inward or outward when seen from the front. Each of these affects tire wear.

Anaiah Rucker was hit by a truck after pushing her sister out of its path. Overcoming life-threatening injuries and the amputation of one leg, she and her family have a new home thanks to Extreme Makeover: Home Edition.
When Rucker arrived at the Emergency Department of Children's Healthcare of Atlanta in February, her life was uncertain. It would take specialized, around-the-clock care and several weeks before she would be well enough to return home.
Rucker was later moved to the inpatient rehabilitation where clinicians, including Joshua Vova, M.D., helped her regain independence and mobility.
Dr. Vova, a physiatrist with Children's Rehabilitation Associates at Children's and Melissa Nalder, a clinical coordinator at Children's journeyed to Madison, Ga., to see the child they have cared for since March. The two were delighted, but not surprised, to see so many people braving the summer heat in honor of Rucker.
"I have never met a patient more excited to participate in her therapies and work to get better," Dr. Vova said. "She never complained or had regrets. She was just thankful that her little sister was not hurt as well. She is truly deserving of this wonderful gift."
Dr. Vova was one of many staff members at Children's who guided the Extreme Makeover: Home Edition design crew in creating an interior environment that will complement at-home physical therapy for Rucker. The episode is expected to air Sunday, October 9th on ABC.

|Seamus Milne in his column in The Guardian yesterday addressed the issue politicians have been eagerly avoiding in the aftermath of the murder of Drummer Lee Rigby on the streets of Woolwich last Wednesday: foreign policy.
Milne, citing the statements of the PM and Mayor Johnson last week, and the policies reactively announced by Home Secretary, Theresa May, writes that "almost nobody in public life mentions the war".
The inevitable consequence of the 'war on terror' being radicalization at home and abroad was voiced by many and "not just opponents of the war on terror who predicted from the start that it would fuel terrorism not fight it. The intelligence services on both sides of the Atlantic did the same," Milne notes.
The effects of drone attacks and the intimidation and harassment faced by young Muslims returning home from trips abroad have combined to form a toxic combination ripe for exploitation, Milne observes, while noting the misplaced musings on 'multiculturalism' or 'immigration' and 'Islamism' in the introspection on why Adebolajo and Adebowale murdered Lee Rigby.
"Those who carried out last week's killing are of course responsible for what they did. But those who have sent British troops to wage war in the Arab and Muslim world for more than a decade must share culpability", he concludes.
Reyhana Patel on Huffington Post and Rachel Shabi on Comment is Free also look at the centrality of foreign policy to the problem of radicalization.

|11th-ranked Mortellaro wins again
DOVE CANYON, Calif. - University of Idaho sophomore Kayla Mortellaro, who now is ranked 11th nationally, won back-to-back for the first time in her young career Tuesday when she carded a final-round 68 to win the UC Irvine Anteater Invitational.
Mortellaro, who helped the 40th-ranked Vandals to sixth, had five birdies during Tuesday's round for a three-under 68. After an even-par 71 in the opening round and a four-over 75 in the second, she won at one-over 214 for a three-stroke margin over UC Irvine's Hillary Packard.
"She hit the ball very well all three rounds," said coach Lisa Johnson, who added Mortellaro and her teammates have been plagued by illness. "She had a stretch of holes (Monday) where she was just physically exhausted.
"Today she hit a lot of shots close to the pin and made a lot of birdies."
Tuesday's victory was the third of the 2009-10 season and fourth of her career.
Like Mortellaro, the rest of the Vandals had their best day Tuesday. After opening the tournament with an uncharacteristic 318, Idaho rallied with a 311 in Monday's second round before posting a 299 over the final 18 holes. The 299 was the third best round of the day Tuesday and tied for fourth best during the tournament, which featured five top 50 teams and seven ranked in the top 100.
"It was a tough field," Johnson said. "We got off to a very poor start yesterday. In the first round, we had quite a few "others." This last round we were able to minimize those mistakes and turn the bad swings into bogeys instead of something worse."
No. 48 San Diego State won the tournament at 899 with No. 43 San Francisco second at 905, No. 81 Kentucky third at 912, No. 38 UC Irvine fourth at 914, and No. 79 Long Beach State was fifth at 915 and the Vandals were at 928.

It's National Pancake Day!
Today is one of my favorite, although slightly underrated, holidays—National Pancake Day! It's a whole day devoted to what many would argue is the greatest of all the breakfast foods. Whether you like 'em light and fluffy, a little on the gooey side, filled with fruit, or topped with treats, pancakes are the perfect start to any day … or any brunch … or the perfect end to any day!
You can find a ton of totally delish vegan pancake recipes here, but I wanted to share one of my personal faves—Marta's pumpkin chocolate chip pancakes. Mmmm 🙂
According to Marta, here's all you'll need to devour these delicious, pumpkin-y, breakfast treats:
- 1.5 cups Bisquick
- 1 egg replacer (can also use a little applesauce instead)
- 1/2 cup soy or almond milk (plus a little extra)
- 1/4 – 1/2 cup canned pumpkin
- 1/4 tsp. cinnamon (plus a few more dashes)
- Chocolate chips to taste
Mix everything together, then spray a frying pan or griddle with cooking spray. Pour 1/4 cup of batter at a time (3 pancakes will likely fit in the pan at once), and cook until browned/cooked on the bottom. Flip, and cook until browned. Repeat until all the batter is gone. Serve topped with warmed maple syrup.

Here are answers to some common questions about importing files.
Importing files means bringing digital media files into Windows Movie Maker so that you can work with them in different projects.
You must import video, audio, or picture files into Windows Movie Maker before you can use them in your projects. In a project, you select, arrange, and edit clips, transitions, and effects until you have everything you want to customize your published movie.
It is important to note that Windows Movie Maker does not store an actual copy of source files; instead, a reference to the original source file is created and appears in Windows Movie Maker as a clip. So any edits that you make in Windows Movie Maker do not affect the original source file. You can edit audio clips, video clips, or pictures in Windows Movie Maker and be confident that the original audio, video, or picture source files remain unchanged.
Windows Movie Maker creates a new collections folder and imports the resulting clip (or clips) directly into the folder. If you want to import the files into an existing collections folder, make sure the Collections pane is displayed, and select the folder you want.
You can import files with the following file name extensions into Windows Movie Maker to use in your project:
Video files: .asf, .avi, dvr-ms, .m1v, .mp2, .mp2v, .mpe, .mpeg, .mpg, .mpv2, .wm, and .wmv
Audio files: .aif, .aifc, .aiff, .asf, .au, .mp2, .mp3, .mpa, .snd, .wav, and .wma
Picture files: .bmp, .dib, .emf, .gif, .jfif, .jpe, .jpeg, .jpg, .png, .tif, .tiff, and .wmf
If you want to import a file into Windows Movie Maker that has a different extension from the ones listed above, in the file type list, choose All Files. Windows Movie Maker can import most file types, but not all file types will work when you try to use them to make a movie.
Microsoft Recorded TV Show files (with a .dvr-ms file name extension) that are not protected using digital rights management can be imported into Windows Movie Maker if your computer is running Windows Vista Home Premium or Windows Vista Ultimate.
Certain features in Windows Movie Maker, such as AutoMovie, require imported files to have both read and write permissions.
You can import media files from any location that your computer can access: your hard disk drive, a CD, a shared network location, or removable media such as a USB flash drive.
Click File, and then click Import Media Items.
Navigate to the file you want to import, and then click Import.
You can import several files at one time. For consecutive files, click the first file in the list, press and hold down the SHIFT key, and then click the last file in the list. For files that are not consecutive, press and hold down the CTRL key, and then click each file that you want to import.

When Tulane was looking for a new director of track and field, it only made sense to hire a coach who was directly responsible for the success of one of the most illustrious track and field programs of the last two decades.
Eric Peterson - who is entering his sixth year with the Green Wave - was hired to his first head coaching post in September 2009, guiding the Green Wave after a 16-year tenure at UCLA. It is no coincidence that the Tulane track and field program has experienced tremendous success since that time.
In just a short amount of time, Peterson has given the Tulane track and field program a shot in the arm, making them a player on the national scene. Under his watch, Tulane has qualified athletes for NCAA National Championship meets during four of his five outdoor campaigns as well as the last three indoor seasons. In 2013, pole vaulter Merritt Van Meter earned All-American status in Eugene, Ore., during the outdoor season, just one year after Ana Ruzevic became only the third Greenie to earn All-American status in back-to-back seasons when she did so in 2011 and 2012 in the javelin.
On the regional level, at least three of Peterson's athletes have qualified for a regional meet during every outdoor season on the women's side, including a record seven during the 2014 season. Peterson made history in 2013, when Devon Breaux (long jump) and Thomas Lynch (discus) became the first Tulane male track and field athletes to qualify for a regional in the history of the program. Breaux qualified again in 2014, marking the first time a male track and field athlete made back-to-back appearances at the regional level.
Four of Peterson's athletes - Daliadiz Ortiz in the javelin during the 2014 outdoor season, Van Meter during the 2013 outdoor season and the 2014 indoor season, Ruzevic in the 2012 and 2011 outdoor seasons and Jamie Riles in the 400 meter during the 2011 outdoor season - have claimed six Conference USA Championships.
During the 2014 C-USA Indoor Championships, Estefany Cruz and Tamika Brazzel earned the Silver and Bronze Medals, respectively, in the women's triple jump, while Taylor Potts picked up a Bronze Medal as a true freshman in the shot put. Senior Joanna Lapucha medaled for the third time during the C-USA Outdoor Championships in 2014, picking up the Bronze Medal in the pole vault.
During the 2013 C-USA Outdoor Championships, Lapucha (pole vault) earned a Silver Medal behind Van Meter's performance, while Lynch earned a Bronze Medal on the men's side. Breaux - who missed the early part of the 2013 outdoor season while working with the Tulane football team during spring camp - took the 2013 C-USA Outdoor Championships by storm, earning a Silver Medal in the long jump and a Bronze Medal in the high jump, along with scoring points for the team in the 4 x 100 meter relay. For his efforts, Breaux was named the Male Freshman of the Meet, becoming the first Tulane athlete to win a C-USA specialty award since Gloria Asumnu did so in 2008, while also becoming the first Tulane male athlete to win a C-USA award since Solomon Kandie and Erik Emilsson did so in 2001. Oddly enough, Emilsson transferred to UCLA after Hurricane Katrina and finished his career under Peterson's watch, earning All-American honors in the steeplechase.
Prior to Peterson's arrival, Tulane's teams were often one-dimensional, usually only scoring points at the Conference USA Championships in a specialized area. However, Peterson has directed squads that have notched points in a number of different events. When he first arrived, only the sprinters and relay teams scored points during 2010 C-USA Outdoor Championship. By the 2011 indoor season, Peterson's teams were scoring points in sprints, relays, distance and jumps, while adding points in the throws portion of the meet the following outdoor season. With the hard work and dedication of the Tulane student-athletes, each of Peterson's teams have improved from the previous season. During the 2014 C-USA Indoor Championships, the women's team scored 53 points for a sixth-place tie, the highest place the Green Wave had finished in ten years.
With the success at the conference, regional and national levels, it comes as no surprise that the Tulane track and field record book has virtually been rewritten over the course of Peterson's tenure. Fifty-two slots are occupied by Peterson's student-athletes in the top 10 of the 19 events during the women's indoor season, 23 of which are in the top five, all time. On top of this astonishing number, Van Meter (4.27 meters or 14') and Paige Callahan (16:59.70) have broken the school record in the pole vault and 5,000 meters, respectively.
The women's outdoor record book has an even greater number of Peterson's student-athletes occupying the top 10 slots, with 65 total placements that can be directly attributed to him. In 2010, Rebecca Coady notched a school-record 3,000 meter steeplechase time of 10:49.45, while Ruzevic's 51.37 meter (168' 6") javelin toss in 2011, Van Meter's 4.11 meter (13' 5.75") pole vault in 2013 and Tamika Brazzel's 14.31 time in the 100 meter hurdles in 2014 now stand as the top marks in school history in their respective events.
On the men's side, Peterson has worked at rebuilding an outdoor program that was reinstated in 2008 after participating in 2005 before temporarily disbanding due to Hurricane Katrina. Since taking over as the director of track and field, 39 spots in the record book are held by male student-athletes, including the top marks in the discus - a 51.81 meter (169' 11") throw by Lynch in 2013 - and the decathlon - a 5,615 point score from Garrett Myer in 2012. Lynch's record bested the previous mark that was originally set in 1939 by Millard White and tied in 2000 by Tulane legend Nathan Junius.
The entire program has grown and prospered in the classroom, as well. The men's and women's track and field programs each earned All-Academic accolades from the United States Track and Field and Cross Country Coaches Association in 2011, 2012 and 2014. Additionally, the women's cross country program earned All-Academic honors from the USTFCCCA in 2013 and 2014 while the men's cross country program picked up their second All-Academic status from the organization in 2014, as they also earned the distinction in 2011.
Individually, sprinter Kasey Rodgers was named to the USTFCCCA All-Academic Team in 2012 after boasting a solid season on the track and in the classroom. In 2014, a program-high three individuals earned USTFCCCA All-Academic honors, as Van Meter, Ortiz and Lapucha all picked up the accolades.
Before joining the Green Wave, Peterson was a highly successful coach at UCLA for 16 seasons. While in Westwood, Calif., Peterson was an integral part of the Bruins 2004 NCAA Outdoor National Championship team, while also aiding in winning Pac-10 Outdoor Championships in 1994, 1995, 1997, 1998, 1999, 2000, 2001, 2002, 2003 and 2004. During that ten year stretch, the team posted ten top 3 finishes in the NCAA. During the indoor season, the 2000 and 2001 UCLA women's squads won NCAA Indoor National Championships with the help of Peterson.
Individually, Peterson mentored Karen Hecox-Candaele - a five-time All-American - to an NCAA National Championship in the 3,000 meters (9:22.63) during the 1994 outdoor season, while Lena Nilsson won an NCAA National Championship in the 1,500 meter (4:12.60) during the 2002 outdoor season and added another in the 800 meters (2:05.13) during the 2003 indoor season under Peterson's watch. The 2002 distance medley team that starred Nilsson - a seven-time All-American and a two-time Pac-10 Female Athlete of the Year - won an NCAA National Championship during the 2002 season with a time of 10:58.19, as well. Peterson also coached Hecox-Candaele to an eighth-place finish in the 1500 meter final at the U.S. Olympic Trials in 2000. Ysanne Williams (six-time All-American), Tiffany Burgess (three-time All-American), Ashley Caldwell (five-time All-American) and Beth Bartholomew (two-time All-American) were also Bruins who earned multiple All-American honors due to Peterson's tutelage.
In addition to his assisting with the women's success, Peterson was an immeasurable asset to the men's squad. The UCLA men's teams sent three individuals from the distance program to the 2008 NCAA Outdoor Championships and four in the NCAA Indoor Championship with 10 student-athletes participating in the NCAA Regional meet.
Peterson had six steeplechasers qualify for regionals, which was tied for No. 1 in the country for single event qualifiers. He also coached freshman Dylan Knight to a UCLA freshman class record in the steeplechase and a 10th-place finish at the World Junior Championships. In 2008, he coached athletes to four UCLA all-time top-10 marks and a UCLA record in the indoor 3000m for Austin Ramos.
Ben Aragon, Martell Munguia and Jon Rankin earned All-American honors on the 2005 NCAA Indoor runner-up distance medley relay team with Peterson as coach. Munguia also added individual honors in the 800 meter along with Erik Emilsson in the steeplechase. Marlon Patterson, Laef Barnes and Cory Primm earned indoor All-American honors in 2008, while Henry Hagenbuch earned outdoor honors in the steeplechase. All in all, Peterson's student-athletes racked up 40 All-American honors during the track and field and cross countries seasons at UCLA.
While working closely with the track and field squads, Peterson was the head coach of the Bruin cross country program, turning them into a Pac-10 Conference and national p ower. His men's team advanced to the NCAA championship as an at large in 2006 after the program's highest Pac 10 finish in a decade. The Bruins were back in the NCAA championship team competition in 2008 placing 26th in the nation, while three of student-athletes from the men's team qualified for the NCAA as individuals in 2007.
Peterson has trained and coached with some of the top distance coaches in the world, including Mike Manley (1972 U.S. Olympian in the steeplechase), former Oregon head coach Bill Dellinger (three-time Olympian in the 5000m), Luiz de' Olivera, who tutored Joaquim Cruz to the 1984 Olympic 800m gold medal and Larsen, who coached the U.S. men's distance corps at the 2004 Olympic Games.
Before his arrival at UCLA, Peterson was the graduate assistant strength and conditioning coach at Oregon for the 1992-93 season. He also spent two seasons as an assistant track and field and cross country coach at Rancho Bernardo High School in San Diego.
A star student-athlete himself, Peterson was a four-time letterman in track and field and a two-time letterman in cross country at Oregon from 1987-90. Peterson was a member of the 1989 Pac-10 Championship cross country team that was the NCAA Runner Up. He earned All-American honors in 1988, he was a two-time Olympic Trials qualifier in the 1500m (1988, 1992), running a personal best 1:49.78 in the 800m and 3:41.03 in the 1500m. For his stellar campaign in 1988, he was honored by the Ducks' track and field program as the most improved athlete of the year.
During his prep years, Peterson was the 1985 Oregon State high school 800m champion and earned All-America honors in the 1500m and mile at North Eugene High School in his native Eugene, Oregon.
Peterson resides in New Orleans.

Three-Dimensional Cell Culture Has Two Dimensions,...
Widespread Adoption of Biomarkers Has Been...
Diseases of the Eye That Cause...
Peptide Drugs Are Not Only Diverse...
EMA's CHMP has informed Amsterdam Molecular Therapeutics (AMT) that its lipoprotein lipase deficiency (LPLD) candidate, Glybera, can't be approved on the basis of existing clinical data. The firm says that communication from the committee does, however, suggest that it may be able to achieve approval by generating additional data from existing patients. As a result the firm has asked for a re-examination of the clinical data package.
"Despite the disappointment, we believe that there is an indication from the CHMP that Glybera could receive approval and that the current opinion at this time is a reflection of insufficient proof of clinical benefit of Glybera as a result of low patient numbers measured for chylomicron handling for at least 12 months post treatment," notes Jorn Aldag, CEO.
"The CHMP also indicated that if certain additional data from already treated patients would confirm current results by the end of 2011, an approval may be possible."
Glybera is a gene therapy product that induces functional lipoprotein activity in patients with LPLD. The disease causes highly decreased or complete lack of functional LPL activity, resulting in the accumulation of chylomicrons that can lead to severe pancreatitis.
The Glybera dossier presented to the European agency included evidence that the drug reduces the risk of pancreatitis in LPLD patients and that treatment improves the breakdown of large chylomicron molecules. The firm is in addition starting a study, designated CT-AMT-011-04, to further examine how already treated patients handle chylomicrons over time. Additional follow-up data will be collected on pancreatitis incidence.

Trucking news: TransCore says April spot market is down from March, up year-over-year
in the NewsBehind KION Group's acquisition of Dematic UniCarriers Americas executives partner with Roosevelt University Brexit impact yet to be measured by U.S. logistics managers Rail carload and intermodal volumes fall for the week ending June 18, reports AAR BTS reports U.S.-NAFTA trade falls 3.2 percent in April More News
Following March, which saw the highest spot market truckload volume since March 1996, the April spot market was not as strong, due in part of harsh weather conditions, according to data from TransCore.
The truckload spot market in April was down 14 percent from April but showed a 12 percent annual gain compared to April 2010, said TransCore officials. They added that freight volumes in the South and Midwest regions of the U.S. were impacted most by the weather.
On a sequential basis, TransCore reported that truckload spot market capacity increased by 6.7 percent, while freight availability for dry vans was down 9.5 percent. The firm also noted that reefer capacity was up 3.4 percent, freight availability was down 5.1 percent, and flatbed capacity and freight volumes were down 2.6 percent and 9.7 percent, respectively.
Industry analysts have noted the spot market demand has moderated compared to major increases throughout 2010 and into early 2011, which were due to easy comparisons.
This was highlighted in a recent research note by Jon Langenfeld, transportation analyst at Robert W. Baird & Co.
"[A] lack of solid normal 2Q seasonal uptick has caused moderation spot truck demand and spot pricing," wrote Langenfeld. "Industry capacity remains tight given numerous factors (multi-year fleet underinvestment; regulatory constraints; rising costs), contractual pricing will continue to move higher, and spot pricing could quickly given lean inventories."
And the overall economy now compared to a year ago, when a significant inventory re-build was occurring, also is factoring into trucking market conditions, according to Doug Waggoner, CEO of Echo Global Logistics, a non-asset based freight brokerage company and a provider of technology-enabled transportation and supply chain management services, in a recent interview.
"In the first half of 2010, we saw capacity get real tight as there was a general inventory re-stocking take place, and in the second half of the year that restocking subsided and we settled in on a general economic rate, which is where we are now," said Waggoner in an interview earlier this year.
This growth rate, said Waggoner, is modest and not taxing transportation capacity. And at the same time, he pointed out it is making all the asset-based transportation carriers more healthy again through things like modest rate hikes in the less-than-truckload (LTL) sector. While on the truckload side, he noted there appears to be modest excess capacity, with carriers practicing discipline by not adding capacity to fleets, as well as underlying themes like overall economic uncertainty, increases in fuel prices, and the outcome of various government regulations like CSA 2010.

News: Women's Softball Takes 4th Place at Golden West Tournament
The Pasadena City College softball team hit a milestone of sorts this weekend in taking fourth place at the Golden West Tournament. With 10 victories this season, the Lancers have already surpassed the win total of the last three years as they set sights on matching the 20-win mark put together by the 2009 team.
"It's a big deal to get to double digits in wins," said second-year head coach Brittany Williams, who endured a 9-win year in her first year in charge of the program last season as well as a 9-win year when she served as an assistant coach in 2011.
"We have a great deal better talent and a stalwart starting pitcher in Melissa Izumida. We put a pretty good showing here at Golden West, and I hope we can take some of our inspired play back into conference play this week."
The Lancers (10-13 overall) finished 2-3 at the tourney, but two of the defeats were close games and the PCC offense scored double figures in the two victories, a 10-5 triumph over Santa Barbara City College on Friday and a 13-5 rout over San Bernardino Valley played Saturday.
PCC opened the tourney with a 4-0 loss to Southwestern, a game in which the Jaguars' starter Gabrielle Beasley tossed a 1-hitter and allowed only two Lancer baserunners (a sixth-inning single by centerfielder Ashley Shaneberger and a second-inning walk to seocnd baseman Audrey Serna). Izumida held a shutout until the fifth when she was touched for three runs. She struck out eight batters, scattered nine hits in going the complete-game seven innings. Southwestern would go on to defeat Chaffey for the GWC tourney title.
In the win over Santa Barbara, PCC scored eight runs in the sixth inning to rally from a 5-2 deficit. Sara Quintero, who faced three batters as the starting pitcher before being removed and put back to designated player, batted 2-for-2 with a walk and two RBI. Quintero and catcher Jazmin Hernandez each had RBI singles in the sixth frame, an inning in which PCC sent 13 batters to the plate but only three batters reached via a base hit.
Izumida allowed only one earned run and pitched 5-2/3 relief innings of 4-hit ball for the victory. She set down 12 of the last 13 batters in a row (one walk in the fifth).
On Saturday, PCC scored six runs in the second inning en route to its win over San Bernardino Valley. Quintero was the hitting star as she went 3-for-3 with five RBI. Shortstop Katelyn Thordarson also went 3-for-3 with a walk, three runs scored and one RBI. Serna was 1-fo–2 with two walks and three runs scored. Hernandez batted 2-for-3 with a walk and two RBI. Overall, the Lancers 12 hits. Izumida recovered from allowing four runs in the third and hurled all six innings (eight hits, three earned runs, five strikeouts).
On Sunday, Izumida struck out eight hitters, but a PCC rally in the seventh wasn't enough in a 3-2 loss to Chaffey. The Lancers cut a 3-0 lead to one run on a sacrifice fly by Quintero and a RBI single by leftfielder Vanessa Contreras. With the tying run on third, rightfielder Emily Cuiriz grounded out to shortstop that ended the game.
PCC ran out of gas by its fifth game in three days in the third-place final v. Grossmont. The Griffins received a 3-run homer by catcher Kasey Campbell in the second inning and got four RBI on three singles by centerfielder Katy Crews in a 12-2 victory over the Lancers. The game ended after five innings due to the 8-run rule. For PCC, Hernandez was 2-for-3 with a RBI double and Contreras 2-for-3 also with a run-scoring double.
PCC resumes South Coast Conference play Tuesday, March 5 in a 3 p.m. game at Los Angeles Harbor College.
Izumida, Quintero and catcher-shortstop Allison Lacey were selected to the All-GWC Tournament team (see photo of Quintero (left), Izumida, Lacey (right), image by Mary Geer).

Many pre-Columbian cultures have examples of woven fabrics dating back hundreds if not thousands of years. Guatemala is known for a type of weaving called double-ikat, which comes from an Indonesian word meaning "to bind." In Ikat, threads are tie-dyed before being strung on the loomthis predetermines the pattern that will be created. Ikat can be used to create textiles of astonishingly intricate detail, as well as soft, blended patterns like on this punchy purple tote.
Made from cotton that is hand-woven in Sololá, Guatemala, it has an inner zip pocket, an inner cell phone slot pocket, and a light beige cotton lining that means searching for a lost lip balm doesn't require a flashlight. Features leather straps and detail along the zip top, as well as "feet" on the bottom that help the bag stay upright when you set it down.
Made in Guatemala using fabric hand-woven in Sololá, Guatemala. 18"W x 11 1/2"H x 6 1/4"D. 15" handles (8 1/2" drop).
Ikat is a type of weaving where the pattern emerges according to how the warp and weft threads are dyed. The name comes from a Javanese word meaning "to tie or bind," and it refers to the process of coloring the threads. Bundles of cotton, silk, or wool are either tied or painted with wax according to predetermined patterns. When the bundles are dipped in dye, the wrapped areas resist the colorsimilar to tie-dye. The bundles may be dyed, rinsed, dried, and re-dyed multiple times.
Then, as the threads are woven, patterns emerge in precise blocks of color, or soft blended patterns. In double ikat, both the warp (vertical) and weft (horizontal) threads are dyed, a process that takes great skill and planning to envision the final textile.
Although the word has Southeast Asian origins, ikat is common in South America, too, especially among pre-Columbian indigenous cultures. Guatemala especially is known for its double-ikat woven cotton, which is often created on manual back-strap looms. Uzbekistan in Central Asia is famous for intricate silk ikat weavings that came to Europe and Japan via Silk Road traders. Because of the great time and skill involved, the most complex ikat fabrics are traditional symbols of prestige and power.

While most commercial strawberries are grown in California or Florida, home grown strawberries and "U-Pick-Em" fields can be found throughout the United States, although the harvest seasons can be limited. Here in North Carolina, as in many areas, the reddening berry is the welcome harbinger of summertime. Although home canning is happening in some form at my place most of the year, the strawberry harvest and the canning to follow marks the kickoff of the "busy season" when it comes to food preservation.
Whether you grow them at home, hit the farmers market or pack the family up for a day trip of berry picking, strawberries are a favorite of the season. Although peak harvest lasts just a few weeks, strawberries are prime candidates for preservation and strawberry jam is always a crowd pleaser. Go ahead and make too much. Your friends and family will thank you.
8 Types of Strawberries to Grow 14 photos
This recipe relies on commercial pectin. Although strawberries are full of natural pectin, just how much can be unpredictable. Using measured pectin increases the success rate and takes a lot less time than the longer cook required to stabilize the pectin in the berry.
A last word. Jam is in many ways more science than art. Wandering too far from measurements, temperatures or cook times may prevent the jam from "standing up", leaving the home canner with a most delicious pancake syrup.
For detailed theory and instructions on water bath canning, check out the great resources at the National Center for Home Food Preservation or the canning trail blazers at Ball Home Preservation.
Strawberry Jam
2 quarts strawberries, hulled
1 cup water
1 (1.75 oz) package low/no-sugar pectin
1 1/2 cup sugar
Crush strawberries (be sure to leave some good sized chunks in there!) in a large pot and add water.
Stir in pectin and bring to full rolling boil that cannot be stirred down, over high heat, stirring frequently.
Add sugar and return to that full rolling boil.
Once a temperature of 220 degrees is reached, continue to boil one minute and remove from heat.
Ladle into hot canning jars, leaving 1/4″ headspace, wipe rims and add lids and bands.
Process 5 minutes in boiling water bath to seal.

Sometime around age 40 or 45, you wake up and find yourself facing a labor problem: Your metabolism has staged a work slowdown. Whereas once it incinerated calories with the ferocity of an eight-burner Viking range, it now warms them with the timidity of an egg poacher. You've had to go up a jeans size or two . . . or three. If you're a practiced dieter, you may turn to the weight-loss methods that have been so reliable in the past—and discover they no longer work.
Though this metabolic slowdown takes most of us by surprise, it has been developing for many years. Our metabolic rate—the total number of calories the body burns every day—dips 2 to 4 percent a decade starting in ourtwenties, says David Heber, MD, PhD, director of the UCLA Center for Human Nutrition. The cause of this decline is a shift in our body's muscle-flab ratio. Every 10 years we lose five to seven pounds of muscle, which is replaced by fat, and this exchange continues for the rest of our lives. In metabolic terms, lean tissue is a champ, and fat is a -slacker: A pound of fat burns a mere three calories an hour, while muscle burns 14.
Say you're a moderately active woman who burned 2,000 calories a day when you were 25. Keep exercising and eating exactly the same way, and you'll burn 1,900 calories a day at 35. At 45, you'll burn only 1,800.
And it gets worse. The loss in muscle mass accelerates when we approach menopause, and our levels of sex hormones like estrogen and progesterone drop. Wendy Kohrt, PhD, founder of the Image Research Group (Investigations in Metabolism, Aging, Gender, and Exercise) at the University of Colorado, found that our metabolic rate is highest when estrogen and progesterone are at their peak. When these hormones dip, we require about 70 fewer calories a day to maintain body weight. Jennifer Lovejoy, PhD, a researcher in Seattle who studied how body composition changes during menopause, estimates that over the roughly 10-year period of perimenopause and menopause, about 50 percent of women gain 10 to 15 pounds because of a lowered metabolic rate.
The bottom line: If you've gained weight and you're thinking, "It's not me; it's my metabolism," you could be right. However, with some tweaks to your diet and exercise regimen, you can get your metabolism to hum the way it did when you had a shag haircut and were living in your first apartment.
To effectively rev up your metabolism, you need to understand the components. Basal metabolic rate, or BMR (also called resting metabolic rate, or RMR), accounts for 60 to 75 percent ofdaily calorie expenditure. Sit still all day and your body will burn up this chunk of energy through activities like pumping blood, breathing and maintaining body temperature. An additional10 percent of your daily calories are spent on digesting food. The balance of your calorie tally—15 to 30 percent—is expended through movement, from tapping your feet as you listen to Pink to training for a half-marathon.
Your goal is to increase the number of calories burned in each of these areas. To do that, you need to eat and work out smarter, which will mean something different for each of us. Here, the stories of four women who took different paths to boosting their metabolism. You can try whichever strategies best suit your lifestyle and athletic abilities. Ladies, start your engines!

It's been more than a year since I joined PD! I turned 12 a few months ago, and when I joined I was 11! (I've even changed personally. AND NO I'M NOT TALKING ABOUT PUBERTY, WHICH I KNOW SOME OF YOU WILL BRING UP. although that is part of the reason, but most of it is other things, like reading Harry Potter which I thought was stupid last year and getting ears pierced, etc)
And I'm a lot more experienced since then too..I can hyperlink and post screenshots. (of course you guys were no help, my other forum helped me with that ) I would have stayed here, but this forum is kind of creepy tbh I guess there are some creepy people on the other forum but the mods are really safe and they always delete posts that are inappropiate..unlike this forum lol
And this post is really pointless haha. I'm bored so I thought I'd pop in. sorry if it seems like I'm criticizing this forum. Don't take it personally ok

Open Society Announces 2012 Audience Engagement Grant Winners
The Open Society Foundations (OSF) has announced the winners of its 2012 Audience Engagement Grants. The annual grants, which vary in dollar amounts, support documentary projects that propose to go beyond using photography to raise awareness of issues, and "take a more direct role in making change happen." Each photographer partners with an organization to present the work to new audiences and engagement them in effecting political or social change. For the first time in the history of the grant, all the projects are located in the United States.
The 2012 winners are:
Emily Schiffer, in partnership with the Center for Urban Transformation and Magnum Foundation:
"See Potential" (Chicago, Illinois)
"See Potential," profiled in PDN's Community issue (see "Helping Communities Speak for Themselves: See Potential") uses banners created using documentary photographs captured in South Side neighborhoods to promote four urban revitalization projects in the Englewood and Bronzeville neighborhoods. Neighbors are asked to show their support for the projects via text message.
Robin Bowman, in partnership with The American Teenager Project: "The American Teenager Project" (Richmond, California)
Robin Bowman will work with local arts organizations, high schools, and advocacy groups in Richmond, California—such as Community Leaders Organizing Undocumented Dreamers (CLOUD) to create an exhibition, curriculum and storytelling workshops, and a program to train youth and teachers to be ambassadors for the program who will stimulate youth engagement on civil and human rights issues.
Joseph Rodriguez, in partnership with New America Media: "Re-entry Stories" (Richmond and San Jose, California)
Joseph Rodriguez will train journalism students and youth reporters fro Santa Clara University and the University of California, Berkeley, as well as reporters from New America Media's youth media hubs to sensitively and accurately document the stories of people re-entering society after incarceration and create multimedia presentations. Their work will be featured alongside Rodriguez's "Re-entry in Los Angeles" and shown at forums to strengthen advocacy for criminal justice reforms in California.
Jon Lowenstein, in partnership with Trans-Border Institute: "Escondido en Escondido" (Escondido, California)
Jon Lowenstein will provide faith leaders and religious youth groups in Escondido, California, with tools and training to document and address immigration issues and promote community integration. The resulting images will be combined with Lowenstein's "Shadow Lives USA" and distributed in Escondido as a newsprint handout; additional content will be available to readers using an augmented reality browser, Junaio.
The winning proposals were selected this year by Claudine Brown (former Director of the Arts and Culture Program, Nathan Cummings Foundation and currently Assistant Secretary for Education and Access, Smithsonian Institution); Stephen Ferry (photographer and past Audience Engagement Grant recipient); and Wendy Levy (co-founder, Sparkwise and Senior Strategist, Tomorrow Partners). Fred Ritchin (Professor, Photography & Imaging, Tisch School of the Arts, New York University).

For this week's Throwback Thursday, Giant Step President/CEO Maurice Bernstein takes us back to the very first Groove Academy show with Leon Thomas and The JB's in June 1990.
This was the very first Groove Academy show. Before I started working with my original partner, Jonathan Rudnick, I was doing clubs and parties in New York. And where possible, I tried to incorporate live music into my events. There were really only a couple of nightclub venues that had the live music capability, though – MK and Nell's.
I'd often fly around on my roller skates to drop off show flyers promoting my parties. During one of my runs, a friend of mine who owned a boutique in the East Village told me about a musician friend of hers who looking to make a comeback. And once she told me her friend was Leon Thomas, I immediately jumped at the opportunity. Leon was a jazz singer who'd worked with artists like Pharoah Sanders and Santana. He also had his own albums on the Flying Dutchman label in the 1970s, but you really needed to be a bit of a crate digger to know who he was.

There are several elements that I feel, that while not required, certainly make for better reading when it comes to essays, reviews and personal reflections. They are: 1.) an energetic prose that flows well and that doesn't become bogged down in obtuse jargon and esoteric detail 2.) an economy and focus (most pieces should not exceed 7 pages in length) when summarizing a particular subject's value or importance to either the audience or the writer 3.) a calm passion and genuine curiosity for the subject matter and lastly 4.) an engagement with complex ideas or cultural values by mixing together an element of wit with a fierce and independent intelligence.
Geoff Dyer's nonfiction prose really hits the spot for me and for those who love writers willing to tackle a multitude of subjects with a fresh perspective, check out his Otherwise Known As the Human Condition: Selected Essays and Reviews. Fans of the late cultural critic John Leonard or those who enjoy the inventive observations of Greil Marcus may also enjoy Dyer's work. Dyer tackles the books of writers like Richard Ford, Don Delillo, Lorrie Moore, and John Cheever along with personal takes on comic strips and life as an only child. He delves into the inner essence of works of art like J.M.W Turner's painting Figures in a Building, linking its evocative power with that of Tarkovskii's masterpiece, Stalker. Along the way, you'll learn about the impact of Richard Avedon's mixing of high art with fashion photography and how Susan Sontag's fiction pales in comparison to her contributions as a cultural critic. Dyer is never boring even when you may take issue with his opinions. You'll never end up with just a straight, descriptive review with Dyer. He's a deft craftsman with a talent for bringing out new readings on old subjects. Highly recommended.
