Operation Pull Your Own Weight (OPYOW) is different from other members of the childhood obesity prevention market because we ask different questions. And as the result OPYOW has come up with different, and possibly more viable answers.
For example, since OPYOW addresses childhood obesity from a functional perspective, we ask, "What activities are obese kids unable to do because of their excess weight?" We come up with answers like, "Obese kids can't do conventional pull ups, parallel bar dips, hand stand push ups, single legged squats, and they can't climb a rope.
With that information in hand we find ways to help kids who are currently not obese (we're acting preventatively right?) learn to do conventional pull ups, parallel bar dips, hand stand push ups, or single legged squats. Or we help them learn to climb a rope. Furthermore, we suggest that if they maintain the ability to do any one of these things (which demands decent eating and exercise habits) they will never have to wrestle with obesity or the various problems that inevitably follow in its wake.
Student Motivation…
A second example of how different questions produce different and sometimes more productive answers is our approach to student motivation. In this regard our question is, "How can we set the stage in such a way that we actively cultivate our student's natural, inborn desire to be strong at everything (strong is always cool) and weak at nothing (weak is always un-cool)? In other words, how can we help students to actively choose to do those things that make them strong and independent, and avoid those things that make them weak and dependent?"
In that light we suggest that extrinsic rewards such as stars, stickers, and grades actually undermine natural tendencies, and they teach students to value things that render them controllable by those who control the extrinsic rewards. The lesson here is to avoid extrinsic rewards, and in their place we cultivate students' innate appreciation for the experience of self exploration, discovery, and development to sink in, to become intrinsically valued, and to become the driving force instead of some extrinsically valued trinket.
VS Adult Motivation
A third example of how different questions produce different answers is seen in our approach to adult motivation. That is to say, we recognize that most adults must work for a living and so extrinsic rewards such as paychecks are seen in a much different light. In this instance we simply ask "Why are medical professionals around the world are being paid to systematically prevent previous epidemics like polio, diphtheria, small pox, and measles, while childhood obesity (which dwarfs the other four combined) has no comparable group of professionals being paid to systematically prevent it?
The lesson to be learned from this observation is that, as long as we continue to depend on altruism to reduce the childhood obesity epidemic we will continue to spin our collective wheels and lose the war. But as soon as we begin paying a group of professionals (we suggest physical education teachers around the nation) to actively prevent obesity, we'll see documented reductions and the war will be decisively won in a decade or less, instead of a generation or more as predicted by experts in the field.
In contrast to conventional wisdom then, it's the adults, not the kids who are best motivated by extrinsic rewards. The kids' natural payoff is the intrinsically valuable experience of growing physically stronger among friends. The other lesson of course is that different questions inevitably produce different answers. Isn't it time we start doing something that actually works for a change?

Santa Barbara County firefighters say a vehicle drove 50 feet over the side of a hill and rolled several times before landing on its wheels. Three people were inside the car. One of them was able to climb up the hillside and call for help. All three were taken to a local hospital. Firefighters say two of the people had minor injuries, and one person had moderate injuries.

If we were forced to pin down our favorite flower on the bouquet that is Earth, it would have to be the hydrangea. And the fact that we can now wear them without having to pluck them makes this Flared Anabelle Dress ($198) from Anthropologie that much sweeter. The cut of this dress is beautiful, and with a tan braided leather belt and coordinating espadrilles, you'll look like a lovely summer walk through the botanical gardens on two legs.

When people see tiny amaranth grains, often the first response is how do you wash the grain if it's so small that it falls through the strainer? You use a tea strainer that has tinier openings. Cooking with amaranth goes in two directions: Desserts and stews. Let's start with a red quinoa and amaranth creamy, chocolate-flavored frozen dessert. Two tablespoons of unsweetened cocoa powder turns the dessert into a chocolate-flavored custard. You can sweeten the dessert with any type of dried fruit such as goji berries or raisins, chopped prunes or dates, an apple or two, (applesauce) or a banana.
Here's how to turn red quinoa and amaranth into what looks like chocolate ice cream if you're looking for a vegan, nondairy frozen dessert. You know real ice cream is at least 16 percent butterfat and made with dairy products. Everything else is called frozen desserts. You also may wish to check out other amaranth recipes at sites such as "Red, White and Blue Amaranth Pudding Recipe - Dessert," and the no-bake treat, "Amaranth Squares — La Fuji Mama."
When you puree almonds and walnuts in a blender with cooked grains such as amaranth and quinoa and add liquid such as almond or soy milk substitute, carob powder, cocoa powder, and two or three bananas, you then freeze what looks like a chocolate milk smoothie until it's the consistency of frozen dessert. This can be completely vegan if you don't use honey, but sweeten with bananas instead.
Assemble your ingredients: a cup or two of cooked red quinoa mixed with 1/2 cup cooked amaranth, a banana, one tablespoon of raw organic honey, a quart of almond milk, 1/2 cup of almonds, and 1/4 cup walnuts. Optional is a handful of cashews.
Cook a cup of amaranth and a cup quinoa--either red quinoa or yellow, mixed with water until the water is absorbed. When cooled, put it in your blender. Add two more cups of water, a handful of almonds and two handfuls of walnuts or cashews (or both).
You can add more almonds and cashews, if desired, up to 1/2 cup each. Optional: add a slice, about a one-inch piece of fresh ginger root to the blender. Instead of trying to wolf down dairy fats and processed sugar, make your frozen desserts look like ice cream, taste chocolate-like, and be made entirely from fruit and nuts.
Sweeten with stevia if you don't want sugary bananas as a sweetener
If you are allowed to eat bananas, for example two bananas can sweeten a smoothie made of cranberry juice. It's one way of eating sugary fruit while avoiding processed white table sugar, brown rice syrup, or fructose. Or you can use one banana and a tablespoon of raw organic creamed honey. The grain will be pureed into a liquid with the nuts and fruit and flavored as well as colored to look like chocolate milk by the half chocolate cocoa and half carob powder. If you like spices, you also can add a pinch of cinnamon, cloves, and ginger.
In the blender, add one banana, two tablespoons of cocoa powder (unsweetened) and two tablespoons of carob powder. If the blend is too thick, thin with a little water, or use as liquid in your blender either unsweetened soy milk or almond milk instead of water.
The liquid should be thick, like a runny wallpaper paste
Blend everything until liquified. Freeze in containers or covered dessert bowls. Serve as you'd serve ice cream. If you want it sweeter, add a tablespoon of raw organic honey. Or if you can't have honey, add a little stevia powder to sweeten it more, if desired.
What you get when you eat this dessert is the equivalent of a bowl of cooked quinoa and amaranth which is a higher-protein grain than rice or oat groats. You get the healthier fats from the almonds and walnuts or cashews, and the sweet taste of the carob powder, cocoa powder and banana.
As a rule, don't emphasize too many sweets in your diet. Or it could unbalance the cortisol-insulin balance between your tired adrenals and resistant pancreas. Some people prefer walnuts and almonds to cashews. Freeze until firm. And eat like any nondairy frozen dessert.
Nondairy milk substitutes made from seeds or nuts
Perfect for liquids are these recipes for blending your own almond, chia seed, soy, hemp, rice, oat, hazelnut, walnut, cashew, sesame, sunflower, peanut, brazil nut, pecan, pistachio, chia seed, or flax seed 'milks.' Highly recommended blender is the Vita-Mix, but any blender set on liquefy will do. Instead of sweetening with honey or other sweeteners, use fruit, such as three small bananas or two large ones.
How about a glass of organic white chia seed dairy alternative 'milk?' According to the Raw Glow site, "Chiaseed's mucilaginous fibers make a barrier in the stomach between carbohydrates and digestive enzymes."
Chia seed 'milk,' gel, or puddings
Sacramento restaurants and ice creameries might offer those seeking nondairy frozen desserts an alternative that tastes pretty much like chocolate ice cream when frozen. How about frozen desserts made from steamed brown rice or cooked quinoa and amaranth? Did you know your favorite grains can be liquefied or pureed into smoothies and then frozen? All you need to do is add fruit or cocoa powder, carob, or any flavor you like from fruit juice to bananas and freeze.
The three main ingredients would be nuts, grains, and nondairy 'milks' such as soy, hemp, hazelnut, oats, almond, or rice milk. And you can make all these yourself by mixing liquid and nuts or grains and putting them in your blender to form a smooth liquid that looks like milk. Then sweeten with fruit and add flavorings from cocoa powder (unsweetened) to carob.
Nondairy frozen desserts can't call themselves ice cream, but they can taste that way
If you work at a restaurant in Sacramento serving vegan, vegetarian, or raw foods, you might suggest to the chef to market nondairy frozen desserts made with natural ingredients and no artificial sweeteners. Try out frozen desserts made from quinoa, amaranth, cocoa, carob, almonds, and walnuts.
Quinoa and amaranth raw can be ground into meal with an electric nut and seed grinder (or coffee grinder) and used as a flour mixed with grounded flax seeds (flax seed meal) and oat bran to make a cookie without eggs or milk. Just add raisins or other fruit, moisten with almond milk and bake at 350 degrees F. until the wetness is gone.
Sometimes it takes up to an hour of baking to finish. Otherwise, you can use ground almonds or other nuts and seeds with cut up fruit and some almond milk and form into balls to eat raw or dehydrated. Or sprinkle with coconut flakes and/or sesame seeds and chill overnight in the refrigerator until the ball shapes hold together.
Only use a good sweetener, not agave, but two bananas blended in a quart of almond milk or pure raw honey or stevia before you puree cooked red quinoa and amaranth to thicken the blend and then freeze it. Or you could suggest carrot ice cream, but made nondairy with coconut cream and carrot juice. Or check out the Sacramento's gluten free market. See the website, VegGuide.Org, Sacramento. Want a Buddhist vegetarian restaurant in Sacramento? Try, Andy Nguyen's Vietnamese Restaurant.
What would you suggest to the various vegan and vegetarian restaurants or bakeries? How about a frozen dessert nondairy creamerie using almonds, vegetables, fruits, and grains? You could offer carrot juice frozen dessert made with frozen carrot juice and raisins, for example. For a richer taste, here's how to turn cooked red quinoa and amaranth into a chocolate-tasting frozen dessert.
Why try to manage your weight with high saturated fat dairy desserts when you can make your own chocolate ice cream substitute using grains, nuts, and fruit. The only ingredients can be unsweetened almond milk, almonds, walnuts, cashews, one or two bananas, and a pot of cooked quinoa and amaranth. When you blend all the ingredients, they liquefy.
Here's how to make a healthy bok choy soup with amaranth to be eaten with a side of flax seed meal bread.
Cut off the top of a bok choy plant and wash each stalk. Put the cleaned bok choy vegetable in a blender with some water or broth. Chicken broth or vegetable broth can be used. You also could use vegetable juices. Puree the bok choy in the water or broth.
Add a 1/4 of amaranth. Simmer the bok choy in the liquid until the amaranth is soft and chewable, usually about 10 to 15 minutes or so. Add a few cooked, peeled purple potatoes or cooked peeled sweet potatoes to this soup. Serve the green soup with a side of flax seed meal flat bread. Here is the recipe for making the flax seed meal flat bread or wrap. Season with garlic and onion powder (optional).
If excess grains are rotting your child's teeth, you might bake a flaxseed flat bread or wrap with your child, showing children how to make alternative breads, cakes, crackers, and wraps that do not use any grain and are gluten-free. One of the easiest flat breads to make with your children is the flaxseed and spinach wrap. It looks like a large, round pancake or cracker, but tastes great. And it's simple to make as the basic ingredients are ground flax seeds, an egg, baking powder, and a chopped vegetable such as spinach.
Here's how to bake a simple flaxseed flat bread or wrap made with ground flax seeds, eggs, chopped spinach, baking powder, turmeric, and garlic powder. Since it uses no grain or gluten, it's ideal for someone who wants a wrap or bread that's gluten-free and grain-free.
For each flat bread or wrap you'll need a separate pan or pie plate. To make more than one, just double the recipe for each ball of 'dough.'
Ingredients for one round flat bread that fits in a 9 inch round pie pan.
3 tablespoons of ground flax seeds
1/4 teaspoon of non-aluminum baking powder (optional)
1/4 teaspoon of garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon of turmeric
1/4 teaspoon of celery seed
1/8 teaspoon black pepper
1 tablespoon of chia seeds (optional)
1 tablespoon of coconut oil, melted
1/4 cup finely chopped baby spinach leaves
1 egg
Heat your oven to 350 degrees F. You'll be baking the flatbread/wrap about 20 minutes or until firm to the touch.
In a dry grinder, grind up the flax seeds and the chia seeds. It's optional to use chia seeds as flax seeds alone will also be fine. You could add a variety of seeds to enrich the 'dough' such as a teaspoon of sesame seeds. But basically the bread or wrap can be made simply with ground flax seeds, an egg, and a tablespoon of water. Or you could substitute for the water, 1/4 cup of finely chopped spinach or chopped carrots. The wrap or flat bread is richer with the vegetables added. You can leave out the baking powder if you're on a no-added sodium/salt diet.
This makes a savory bread. If you wanted a sweet flat bread or wrap instead, more like a pancake, you could add finely chopped dried fruit or sliced banana to the dough.
Beat the egg with the 1/4 cup of finely chopped spinach leaves and add it to the dry seed mixture. Remember to double this recipe if you want to make more wraps. Mix well.
Grease a pie plate with coconut oil. If you're doubling this recipe, grease two pie plates. On a cutting board press out the dough in a thin, round circle. Press from the middle, like you're making a pizza or round shape. You also can use an inverted small saucer plate to make the edges round. When you have a round shape, lift it off the cutting board and put in into your pie plate.
Fix any tears or edges back into a round shape when the dough is in the greased pie pan. A glass pie plate made for oven use is good.
On top of the dough sprinkle some garlic powder and turmeric. Or you can mix the garlic powder and turmeric together and sprinkle it on top. Bake the round flat bread or wrap at about 350 degrees F. until it's done, about 20 minutes or until it's no longer wet in the middle when you touch the bread and it feels solid.
With a metal or wooden spatula, lift off the pie plate and flip over on a plate. You can decorate the wrap with sandwich fixings of your choice or eat like a cracker or flat cake. It also taste great topped with fish salad, egg salad, mushrooms, roasted vegetables, tomatoes, garlic, and onions, chopped green vegetables, or whatever you want to put on top or eat as is as a side dish along with a bowl of soup or stew, such as mushroom and salmon stew.
You can find a similar recipe for flaxseed wrap that uses slightly different ingredients on page 244, appendix B of the book, Wheat Belly: Lose the Wheat, Lose the Weight, and Find Your Path Back to Health by William Davis, M.D. (Rodale) 2011. The book recipe uses paprika, onion powder and salt. But this recipe leaves out the paprika and onion powder and is a no-added salt food. You can use finely chopped garlic or garlic powder in place of salt or celery seed. Also this recipe uses chia seeds with the flax seeds.
You could also use a tablespoon of sesame seeds mixed with your chia seeds and flax seeds. Vary according to your preferences and choice of oils. Coconut oil is great as is olive or sesame seed oil. The recipe in the book uses a microwave. Since many people don't have microwaves, you can bake this flat bread in the oven at 350 degrees F. for about 20 minutes or until firm. But coconut oil does take the hot oven heat well.

With the launch of the New 52 one of the most mocked characters in the DC Universe Aquaman finally started getting the respect he deserved with one of the best series out there. In issue # 7 of his regular series it was revealed that Aquaman had ties to a mysterious group known as 'The Others' adding new depth to the character. Now the team up that was eluded to in Aquaman is getting the team back together for an all-new series aptly titled Aquaman and the Others.
In the series the King of Atlantis and his teammates find themselves targeted by an unknown foe that wants their Atlantean artifacts that serves as a prelude to "Futures End". This first issue spends most of the time not only setting up the reasoning about this team coming back together as well as introducing each of these new characters to the reader. This group is an interesting team that doesn't necessarily look like they belong together, but using a simple back story keeps them tied together as opposed as the usual team up aspect. They clearly have issues with each other that always leaves things wide open for character exploration and sure to be problems as a whole. The artwork from Lan Medina looks great and works for this book. It's not overly complicated, but still dynamic and detailed enough to be effective.
Aquaman has finally found his footing on land and looks to be expanding his own universe. Let's hope they keep the momentum of the character going and that this series launches another great chapter to give this king the leadership and respect he deserves both underneath and above the ocean. Grab your copy of Aquaman and the Others # 1 available now.

A beautiful dog named "Julie," is in need of a new home after her former family decided to leave her at an animal control facility in Dekalb County, Georgia.
On Sunday, the Dekalb County Animal Services facility explained why Julie's family walked away from her:
Julie's previous owner decided not to reclaim her. They reclaimed their other dog because the other dog was "their dog," but Julie was their "children's dog" and the children had already replaced her even though Julie had only been lost a week. They also said they didn't want a citation for Julie running loose. So they decided to leave poor Julie at the shelter.
The facility went on to describe Julie's positive attributes and their hope for her to find a new guardian:
Julie deserves a family that truly cares about her. She is a great dog that is very loving, playful and sweet. She hopped around the yard today just happy to be outside. She fetched a stick a few times before she decided that it was time for belly rubs. Please come meet this awesome girl at the DeKalb Shelter, you will love her!
Julie had a family and they turned their back on her. Please take a moment to network Julie's information so that she can find a faithful family who would never consider walking away and leaving her in danger.

Astrology' s definition of a grand cross describes a series of oppositional forces coming through in transits consisting of the major planets. As the universe is in constant motion, a continual emphasis of varied energies is reflected in multiple ways. Revolution of peoples, earth disasters, radical actions are mostly seen through world events and leaders. Many come unexpectedly. Citizens of this planet are all susceptible to a driving force to put forth an agenda, or many are preoccupied with having power over someone else. During 2014, four quadrants of planet earth will be affected by the varied gravitational effects of major planets.
The planets involved are Uranus, Pluto, Neptune, Jupiter, each with a long period of revolution. The long transit periods change gradually with varied effects. With Uranus, the planet of genius, breakthroughs in science are forthcoming. Drones, and rainfall control are two examples. Medical discoveries also advance. Neptune brings themes of spiritual and religious emphasis. Pluto, a small but dense planet is said to cause a drive for gaining power. Jupiter brings in an expansive effect. More research is needed, but the gravitational effects also bring physical changes to mother earth.
Predictions of bad weather events lingered in the air as far back as the 1960's. Scholars of the Bible also foresee these types of events through biblical prophecy. The most haunting factor is that so many different people through varied sources and locations have come up with the same notions.
The most stunning truism inherent in these predictions is how immense masses of people would be subtracted from the worldwide population. We've seen volcanoes, typhoons, tornadoes, and flooding. Considerable numbers of the population have died from genocide and warfare.
Madeline Teagle, former president of a ufology organization, mentioned upon several occasions the losses of population. Less Feldick, a well known Bible teacher, states the same. "People will be dropping dead all around you," states Feldick.
Madeline Teagle, also a group meditation leader, taught her spiritual aspirants to use this method as a way to cope. If a person gets inwardly aligned in spirit and connection with the universe, the new vibratory network that surrounds us won't come as a shock. Others too rigid, uninformed, or of ill intent would have difficulty coping. The result ends up with subsequent health problems due to the inherent conflict in wavelength frequencies. Depending on the inception, varied causes of mass death are in the mix.

The United States will open talks with Europe to launch what would be the world's largest free trade zone, US President Barack Obama announced Tuesday in his State of the Union address.
Answering mounting calls from the European Union to pursue a grand trade pact to spur growth on both sides of the Atlantic, Obama said the proposed treaty would help boost American exports and jobs.
"Tonight, I am announcing that we will launch talks on a comprehensive Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership with the European Union -- because trade that is free and fair across the Atlantic supports millions of good-paying American jobs," Obama said in his signature annual speech.
Covering an area where two-way trade amounted to $646 billion last year, a transatlantic pact could leave behind stalled efforts at a new global deal under the Doha round of World Trade Organization negotiations.
But analysts said it could also serve a greater role of bringing the two sides together as the bonds created by the NATO mutual defense treaty have loosened in recent years.
"There are drivers that go beyond the immediate economic considerations and trade considerations," said Andras Simonyi, managing director of the Center for Transatlantic Relations at Washington's Johns Hopkins School of Advanced International Studies.
Proposed years ago, the US-EU trade pact idea has been revived recently as both sides of the Atlantic seek avenues for growth and job creation for their weak economies.
"We are very happy, we have worked to prepare the negotiations for a year," the EU's ambassador to the United States, Joao Vale de Almeida, told AFP.
"We are very happy to see the president agrees... We will have a much greater influence if we are together."
Analysts have said the White House wants to fast-track talks as a bookend to the drawn-out Trans-Pacific Partnership, another free trade project Obama has pushed but which missed the end-2012 target for completion.
Obama added Tuesday that he would continue to pursue completion of the TPP, saying it was important "to boost American exports, support American jobs and level the playing field in the growing markets of Asia."
Both come amid frustration over the stalled Doha round of world trade liberalization talks, Simonyi told AFP.
With the TPP still struggling to gain real traction, a transatlantic free trade agreement "is what will set the standards for trade, investment and regulations globally," he said.
Goods pass between the two sides with import tariffs mostly below three percent, but some on protected industries run as high as 20 percent.
Eliminating those barriers could boost exports from both sides.
But Simonyi said it could serve a higher purpose, replacing the NATO defense treaty as the glue holding the two sides together.
"I think it's important to keep the trans-Atlantic relationship going. It has been searching for the driver for a long time."
"We are in touch with both sides on a pretty high level and, for the first time we really feel, both in the United States and in Europe that the leading forces want this to happen."
A European diplomat said that the idea could push emerging economic giants like China to be more open.
"It is based on the idea that, in launching an ambitious accord between the two regions that dominate global commerce, they will push the emerging countries to open up more than they were willing to in WTO negotiations," the diplomat said.
The US Chamber of Commerce also endorsed Obama's announcement.
"We have long called for such a pact to eliminate tariffs, ensure compatible regulatory regimes, and address investment, services, and procurement," said the Chamber's senior vice president, Myron Brilliant, in a statement.
"We urge both US and European officials to move swiftly in negotiating a high-standard agreement that will foster economic growth and job creation for all our citizens."

Everybody and their dog goes to the Downtown Farmers Market on Saturdays in Pioneer Square. It's a carnival, a fair—so much more than tomatoes and peaches. You can gorge yourself on everything from TK to TK, do all your Christmas shopping, augment your garden plot, picnic and listen to some music.
The Tuesday evening Harvest Market, which only opens when the farmers' fields are overflowing, is for serious food shopping. It's less crowded, for one thing. Commuters, downtown residents and regular market shoppers will find the Tuesday evening markets an alternative to the busy Saturday markets to purchase produce and farm goods with ample parking near the park. And we all know that easy parking is a requisite for good shopping.
The fourth season of the Harvest market starts tomorrow, Aug. 7 and continues through Oct. 23, from 4 p.m. to dusk in Pioneer Park.
The Harvest Market is comprised of 20-plus hand picked vendors that range from traditional farms and orchards to rare heirlooms, as well as a limited number of artisan food vendors. All of the vendors participate in the SNAP program, which allows vendors to accept food stamps, with the goals to improve accessibility to fresh food for lower and fixed-income consumers, and to increase revenue for farmers and food producers at the Market.
The full lineup of vendors is as follows:
Adam's Heirlooms - 100% heirloom & antique varieties of fruits & vegetables
Asians & Heirlooms - Organically grown Asian & Heirloom Vegetables
Bangeter Farms – Local produce since 1902
Black Heron Gardens - Rare and exciting heirloom edibles
Chad's Produce – No spray vegetables and fruit
Chow Truck – Haute Asian cuisine on the go
Dunham Farms – Green River melons
Earth First Eco-Farms – Organic, urban farmer
Fowers Fruit Ranch – 5th generation farm specializing in fruit production
Gervais Farm – Organic produce farm

AlgoNomics will aid Genmab in the structural analysis of its antibody scaffolds. Under the terms of the research collaboration, AlgoNomics will employ its antibody structure database and Tripole® technology.
The agreement focuses on the analysis of the structural properties of Genmab's fully human antibodies and UniBody® molecules. UniBody reportedly creates a stable, smaller antibody format with an anticipated longer therapeutic window than current small antibody formats.
Tripole has the ability to unravel protein-protein and protein-peptide interactions, AlgoNomics notes. Focusing on therapeutic antibodies and antibody-based proteins, the company has developed an in-house, annotated database of structurally aligned antibody domains.
The collaborators anticipate that by combining experimental observations with analyses performed by AlgoNomics, it may be possible to further improve on the properties of the UniBody molecules. Genmab believes this platform has the potential to expand the market for targeted therapeutics, in particular for some cancer and autoimmune diseases.
Under the agreement, AlgoNomics is eligible for research funding and subsequent potential milestone payments from Genmab.

The McNealy lab is all about adaptability. How do we react to the world around us? In particular how do microbes react to the world around them and how does that affect the way we react to them. The primary niche of most microbes however is a biofilm. In this environment, microbes can exist, persist, survive and adapt to a wide variety of factors.
The biofilms of man-made aquatic systems are our primary interest. Here bacteria, archaea, protozoa and fungi unite and interact. Not only do they interact with each other, but they also respond to a wide array of environmental conditions and contaminants. Understanding these interactions and reactions can lead to advances in how to control and eradicate biofilms as well as potentially identifying unique bacterial genes that can be targeted for development of antimicrobials and therapies. Our research therefore spans the spectrum of microbial ecology to pathogenic microbiology.

Encyclopedia of Jazz Musicians
Meixner, Alex
Meixner, Alex, trumpet, piano and diatonic accordions, bass, keyboards, drums and vocals, educator, arranger, composer; b. Allentown, PA, 8 December 1976.
As a young child ,he had early professional performing experience with his father (Alfred, born November 16, 1948) and his 2 sisters (Christiane, born September 4, 1973 and Katrina, born November 2, 1979) in a family Austrian folk ensemble- The Meixner Kinder. Started studying piano and then piano accordion with his mother (JoAnn, born October 24, 1950) at age 4. Progressed on to the trumpet, which became his major instrument at age 7- as well as drums, diatonic button accordion and bass within the next few years. At the age of 12, Alex moved with his family to Orlando, FL where his father accepted full-time employment as a musician and arranger at Walt Disney World's Epcot Center. While living in Orlando, Alex's exposure to jazz grew, as well as his experience as a performer within numerous folk/ world music and pop genres. Alex studied with Bill Boyd and Michael Payton on trumpet and garnered jazz solo awards at festivals throughout the south. As a hig h school student, he also performed as a classical trumpeter with the London Symphony Orchestra and as an accordion soloist with Sandy Duncan for a MENC/ PBS television broadcast. In 1994, Alex started studies in trumpet performance/ music education at Ithaca College School of Music (Ithaca, NY). As a student at Ithaca, Alex formed his first jazz group, "The Alex Meixner Quartet" which performed at local clubs and festivals. They performed on numerous national tours with his father's multi-cultural/ Polka band, "The Al Meixner Trio" and were featured performers on a Grammy award winning album ("Music and Friends" by Walter Ostanek, 1994). At Ithaca, Alex studied with Frank Campos (Trumpet) and Steve Brown (Jazz) and was a featured soloist in performances with the Ithaca College Jazz Workshop, while also leading the backup band for the Vocal Jazz Ensemble. After graduating from Ithaca in 1998, Meixner studied in the master's program in trumpet performance at the Pennsylvania State University. At Penn State, Meixner studied with John Daniel (trumpet) , Dan Yoder and Rick Hirsch (jazz). Meixner coordinated the Jazz Combo program at Penn State for 2 years and was also a Teaching assistant in Trumpet. Meixner's current activities include "Artist in Education" programs for the Pennsylvania Council on the Arts- in which he explores the fusion of jazz with world folk musics- specifically those from eastern Europe/ Slavic countries. This work is being documented on an upcoming cd "Fascinating Rhythms of the World" (to be released in the summer of 2003) as well as being performed in concerts with his ensembles.
Meixner also teaches trumpet in the Philadelphia area, as well as coordinates a program for at-risk students in Allentown, PA at the Community Music School- in addition to maintaining a busy schedule of performance and recording dates.

The CLEARLY SHOWS every index is already in or close to a bear market, Paulson's Plunge is using federal money thru the primary broker-dealers to CONTROL DIA, keeping it up in the final what should be CRIMINAL act of desperation, the Dow will be the last to fall, and when it does, look out below.http://financialsense.com/Market/wrapup.htm
As usual who ends up subsidizing the greedy sleazy mortgage companies who wrote NINJA loans to people who couldn't afford a chicken coup? Who bails out the banks that packaged this worthless subprime crap into CDOs and then spread this slime all over the financial system? Who pays for the poltical largesse of the corrupt Washington politicians that now want to bail out the entire country? Of course. It's you. And me. It' the average American taxpayer as always who foots the bill.Every dollar pumped into the system by Bernanke and Paulson means the dollars in your savings account, your 401k or IRA are WORTH LESS. There's only one way out. The banks need to write it off. No more Paulson Ponzi schemes. No more Bernanke puts. The banks just need to write off the losses and let the chips fall where they may. It's that simple, and harsh.
Oh yeah! Paulson also wants to see DIA around 136.03 before the end of the year....
DIA goes ex-dividend tomorrow. Does anyone know where the exact amount of the Div. is published in advance (the Amex cite lists it only afterthe ex-date)
Yes there should be a criminal investigation. we need to notify the FBI and Homeland security about the potential terrorist threat of yahoo posters here who hate America and its markkets and want them brought down like 9/11. Enjoy the water,assholes.
Have fun milking this bull.
Bernanke should tell Paulson to go to hell. I don't know if you heard but even Alan Greenspan said last week that the Fed should stop intervening in the market and let market forces work. That's code for the Fed should stop participating in Paulson's PPT ponzi scheme. Clear signs of a split forming between Treasury and the Fed.
I have yet to see Whore Bernancke not take commands from Pimp Paulson.Any split will be too late and would signal a criminal probe into PPT, SOMEONE KNOWS AT GOLDMAN where all these trades are going. A whistleblower is needed, but they know they will be "rendered" to Afganistan. This is the greatest financial crime of all modern times, this intervention made Nixon look like a Boy Scout.

What's up with 'Big Smo' on AETV? Well, cereal shakes, country rap and lots of love, which was a nice thing to see on this all-new reality series. Mama Smo is the money manager, and she's proud of how well her son has done with his career and his life in general. There is a lot of time on the road, but when Big Smo is home, he makes time for family. So, is 'Big Smo' a family show?
"I'm lovable, like a big ol' teddy bear," Smo says.
Big Smo does seem like a good guy with a big heart. He is enjoying the notoriety he is receiving from his local popularity, but it doesn't seem to be changing his focus on his home and family, or what appears to be a fun-loving nature. And, from the small sample fans are getting on 'Big Smo,' oddly enough, it does seem like what one could call a "family show"--although perhaps occasional mentions to things like "twerking" might make it more of a PG-13 family show. And, of course, it does air at a later time, in the 10:30 p.m. timeslot, following A&E fan-favorite 'Duck Dynasty.'
As of the opening show, it seemed like a good mix between Smo's home-life and his work-life--although, as with many artists, Smo's life in general seems like it is tilted in the direction of work a lot of the time. Fortunately for him, his girls, his mom, his girlfriend--everybody understands that he has been working a long time for this dream that is on the edge of coming true. Whitney, who Smo has been dating for four years, seems especially understanding, and Smo agrees: "It takes a lot for a woman to put up with everything that comes along with this package." So, why is she just his girlfriend after all this time?
Well, for last night's episode, Big Smo sent for girlfriend Whitney and his girls--which kind of gives you an idea of the type of show this is--for the featured concert. And, bringing Whitney on-stage, he poured his heart out, letting his "Kinfoke"--i.e. fans--know just how much he loves her, asking Whitney to be his wife, even changing the lyrics to one of his more popular songs, explaining that he was no longer comfortable with its anti-marriage message. It was a nice moment and, hopefully, signs of good things to come from 'Big Smo.'
'Big Smo' airs on A&E on Wednesday nights at 10:30 ET/PT.

In this article, I'll show you how to test the thermostat in your Ford 4.6L or 5.4L pick up (van or SUV).
As you might already be aware, a BAD thermostat will cause one of two different conditions, either it will cause your Ford pick up (van or SUV) to overheat or cause the engine to never reach normal operating temperature.
Now, you would think that the cooler the engine runs the better, but this is not the case. If the thermostat fails and stays stuck open, the heater won't work in your vehicle (if it's winter time) among several things.
To help you navigate this article, here are its main points:
TIP 1: To take advantage of the thermostat test in this article, you need to monitor the coolant temperature with a scan tool in Live Data mode. This is the fastest, easiest, and safest way to check to see if the thermostat is BAD or not.
You don't need the Ford factory scan tool or an expensive professional technician level scan tool. A generic scan tool will do great and I've written this article with this tool in mind (Don't have a scan tool? Need a scan tool? Check out my recommendation: Actron CP9580 Scan Tool).
TIP 2: Do not open the radiator cap under any circumstances once the engine has warmed up or is hot, whether it's running or not.
Opening the radiator cap with a hot engine and getting sprayed by the hot coolant (which is under pressure) can cause severe burns. Your safety is your responsibility... be careful, use common sense and think safety all of the time.
TIP 3: The most important factor, to successfully test the thermostat, is to start your troubleshooting with a completely cold engine.
What I mean is that the engine has to be at ambient temperature. This will guarantee the accuracy of your test. If the engine in your vehicle is hot or has been running for an extended amount of time... let it cool down completely. This is important for safety reasons and (as mentioned before) for the accuracy of the thermostat test.
Having established at the beginning of the article that the engine will overheat or under cool with a BAD thermostat, I'll go into more specifics about this:
CASE 1: If the thermostat fails and stays stuck open, you'll see the following symptoms:
You're probably surprised to find out that a missing or stuck open thermostat causes higher fuel consumption.
CASE 2: If the thermostat fails and stays stuck closed, you'll see the following symptoms:
OK, let's get testing...

CILAS is proud to be participating in an exceptional project: the MegaJoule Laser.
The LMJ, essential element of Simulation program, consists of 240 laser beams comprising 30 chains and 8 beams, each of which will be installed inside a structure with a total volume of 40,000 m², as long as the Eiffel Tower and as high as the Arc de Triomphe.
The 240 laser beams will converge and concentrate their energy on a microbead just a few millimetres in diameter composed by deuterium and tritium. By concentrating energy of approximately two megajoules on this microbead for a time window of just a few billionths of a second, the pressure and temperature conditions this microbead (several millions of degrees) will make it possible to re-create the conditions under which thermonuclear fusion takes place.
This laser, the most powerful in the world, is currently being installed in the southwest of France on the CEA CESTA site between Bordeaux and Arcachon. The sheer physical dimensions of this exceptional laser and the capacity of its instruments, with its American equivalent, will be used, to simulate the conditions of a thermonuclear explosion under laboratory conditions.
Following the signature of the treaty formalising a complete ban on nuclear testing, the French government has entrusted the CEA-DAM with the development of the Simulation programme to sustain the nuclear deterrent, that is to say, ensuring its continuity and adaptability.
The LMJ is one of the tools involved in the Simulation programme. The laser will be able to create, within a miniscule area, heat and pressure conditions comparable to those at the core of the sun, and will provide us with information to further our understanding of thermo-nuclear reaction phenomena.
Open to civil research, the laser also opens new fields of investigation in a host of sectors such as plasma physics, atomic physics, laser radiation/materials interactions, and the thermodynamics of irreversible processes.
Involvement of CILAS
CILAS has been a major player in the implementation of the LIL (Laser Integration Line / prototype facility at a scale 1 of one of the 30 channels of LMJ, running since 2000) providing already Amplifiers and Deformable Mirrors M1.
In continuity of this industrial success, CILAS participation in this project consists of supplying CEA-DAM with the same two essential LMJ components.
Laser Amplifiers
CILAS will be providing a total of 60 laser Amplifiers, each weighing 19 tonnes. The purpose of the amplifier is to amplify a laser impulse using 180 flash lamps which illuminates 72 laser glass plates laced with neodymium. The amplifiers are currently in the industrialisation phase, and line production is scheduled to run from 2010 to 2015.
Deformable mirrors
As the laser beam is being amplified, it bounces off deformable mirrors (400 mm x 400 mm) located at the bottom of the laser cavity. During this beam reflection, the mirror surface, deformed using 48 actuators located behind the mirror, will correct any laser beam imperfections. 240 mirrors of this type (one for a beam) will be used.
Cleanliness engineering
CILAS has over 20 years experience in engineering projects in cleanliness (including work on Phébus, the forerunner of the LMJ). In this project, CILAS is participating in the installation of equipment in both the cleanroom and lasers halls, working in collaboration with CEA-DAM teams.
This bears well for a long and fruitful participation in the exciting work of installing and operating the LMJ for the next 30 years.

I was trying to install tomcat 7 on Wheezy
Looking at several guides, I noticed that almost all of them suggest to create a dedicated user.. why?
I am also asking that because I have installed tomcat 7 through the repository and I looked that I have already a user suitable for that, I guess maybe the tomcat installation itself created it
cat /etc/passwd
So my question is, do I need to create an (additional) user for my tomcat?

AJC survey of Latinos finds positive views, limited contact with Jews
A survey commissioned by the American Jewish Committee found that Latinos held positive views about Jews, but have had limited contact with them.
"Latino opinions are hampered by limited contact and general unfamiliarity with Jews," according to Latino Decisions, the company that carried out the survey for the AJC. Its conclusion, nonetheless, was that "Latinos hold many positive views about the Jewish community."
A majority of Latinos held a positive view of Jews' commitment to faith, family and social change, according to the survey, with 78 percent of respondents agreed that Jews are committed to family life and 61 percent of respondents believed that Jews make positive cultural contributions to the noted States.
In a press statement, Dina Siegel Vann, director of AJC's Latino and Latin American Institute, noted that the survey "will inform and advance our ongoing efforts to engage Latino communities, form coalitions, and deepen understanding of American Jews and Israel."
"The Latino and Jewish communities are models for enriching U.S. society by expressing multiple identities," Siegel Vann said in the press statement.
The survey, published April 11, was conducted among 2,000 Latinos by telephone from August 12 to Sept 16, 2011, in Chicago, New York, Miami, Los Angeles and Kansas City, Missouri. There were follow-up discussions with focus groups during November and December.

Dog House Sofa by Seungji Mun
People (generally single women in their 30′s) spend a lot of time making sure their interiors look the way they want them to, only to find an ugly dog bed haunting a corner inside their home. The 'Dog House Sofa' by Korean designer Seungji Mun, was made to tackle this problem with a streamlined, minimalistic piece of living room furniture.

Rookie quarterback Ryan Griffin generated the most buzz of anyone during Wednesday's New Orleans Saints practice. The former Tulane standout got extra snaps with the third-team offense while veteran Seneca Wallace was nursing a groin injury. And he took advantage.
At one point, Griffin completed six straight passes during team drills, including three bombs against broken coverages in the secondary.
Griffin's hot streak was interrupted by a floated pass that was intercepted by safety Akwasi Owusu-Ansah. But he bounced back soon after with perhaps his prettiest pass of the day - a downfield strike to receiver Nick Toon.
Obviously Griffin still faces a long learning curve - and he repeatedly insisted that he's still taking things one day at a time. But he said days like Wednesday are "definitely" rewarding during the grind of training camp.
"You always enjoy having a good day. There's more autographs to sign," said Griffin, who indeed stayed out on the practice field signing autographs Wednesday longer than any other player on the team - outlasting Drew Brees and Joe Morgan.
"So it's fun," Griffin said. "But you can't get high and low, you've gotta stay pretty even keel."
I still believe it's extremely unlikely that Griffin can contend for the Saints' backup quarterback job this year - especially with veterans Wallace and Luke McCown both looking sharp in practice, as well.
But Griffin has shown some nice potential so far and looks like he could follow more of the Chase Daniel blueprint instead of the Sean Canfield blueprint as a developmental/practice squad project.**************

Bernie Van Antwerp inspects the cells of the honey comb made by bees of St. Ambrose Catholic Church in Grosse Pointe Park.
photo by Renee Landuyt
December 20, 2012
My son, eat honey, for it is good, and the drippings of the honeycomb are sweet to your taste.
Proverbs 24:13
Honey is the natural golden sweetener created by insects no bigger than a baby's toe. It has been recorded in Bible verses, used by ancient Egyptians as offerings to their gods, found in pharaohs' tombs and adds a distinct flavor to today's culinary creations.
Just the word "honey" creates a picture of a slow-moving, clear liquid pooling in crevices of a hot biscuit, topping a steaming bowl of oatmeal or being drizzled into a cup of tea.
Due to bees' contribution to the food chain pollinating 30 percent of the food we eat, and their product, hives are popping up in rural areas, as well as urban sites, including Grosse Pointe Park. There, three bee hives are on the grounds of St. Ambrose Catholic Church where they are watched and nurtured through the seasons by apiarist Bernie Van Antwerp of Grosse Pointe Park. He tends the hives, collects the honey, spins, strains and bottles it for the church.
Jars of nature's golden liquid have been sold at St. Ambrose for two years in one pound jars. St. Ambrose is the patron saint of bee keepers and, according to legend, he was so dubbed because of his smooth, sweet speaking abilities.
Upon the request of Rev. Timothy Pelc, a patch of land was set aside for the hives stocked with about 20,000 Italian bees to make honey sold as a church fundraiser. Italian bees are more productive and less aggressive than the heartier Russian bees, Van Antwerp said.
"Father Pelc wanted beehives," Van Antwerp said. "I volunteered to get the bees. I built the hives and got the bees. I woke up one morning and had 600,000 animals a year in my keeping and you can't take them to the vet's."
It's obvious he enjoys his volunteer work with the bees, or "my girls" as he calls them, because he readily shares his knowledge both locally and at his northern Michigan house where he has 10 hives to tend.
Bees have a life expectancy of six weeks to six months with the queen constantly laying eggs.
"Normally, she would be succeeded by a new queen every two to three years," he said.
With the high use of insecticides and weed killers and bugs from other countries that are hard to eradicate, bees are having a difficult time surviving and thriving. Each year about 30 percent die from mites foreign to the United States or from insecticides or weed killers used by farmers or in the city, he said.
The St. Ambrose bees live a sheltered life. The hives are on a patio with the church protecting them from the prevailing winds on one side and hedges and a fence surrounding the other three sides. A fountain just across the hedge supplies the bees with fresh water. According to Van Antwerp, bees consume about a gallon of water per hive per day during the summer. With the abundance of blooming flowers in the bees' two-mile flight radius, they are busy from morning until night bringing nectar back to the hive. They work all summer and Van Antwerp harvests about 35 pounds of honey per hive in September. He returns a portion of the wax combs to the hive so the bees don't have to work so hard replacing the combs, he said.
However, the wax has to be replaced every three years due to the chemicals the bees bring back to the hive.
"The wax the bees make works like a sponge. It soaks up all the chemicals. We don't use the wax more than three years. Those chemicals don't transfer to the honey," he said.
He said Detroit is a good place to keep bees because of the abundance of old growth trees and empty lots sprouting dandelions and other flowering weeds. And particularly, there are no chemicals being sprayed on these areas.
"Raising bees in Detroit has been successful because there are a lot of wildflowers in a two-mile radius," he added.
Instead of seeing a conglomeration of flowering weeds along the highways in the metro area, they can be viewed as bees' restaurants after which they create amber-colored honey, sweet to your taste.

Neater Feeder Dog Bowl Set Review & Giveaway (Ends 11/9)
I love my big dog, but he sure is messy. My 70+ lb. mix of husky, lab, heeler, shepherd (and who knows what else) is a very good and loving dog, but he is also one of the worlds sloppiest eaters and drinkers. He not only spills his food often, but when he drinks, he creates a huge wet mess on the floor. Between him and my 3 kids, I can't tell who is messier. It's insanity. Lucky for me, I recently discovered the Neater Feeder.
The Neater Feeder is an amazing food & watering station for dogs or cats that keeps the mess off of the floor! It comes in multiple sizes to suit your pets needs. For my big dog, we got the Large Dog Neater Feeder Deluxe with Leg Extensions in Bronze. It is the greatest thing since sliced bread. No, I am not exaggerating. This particular version of the Neater Feeder is Created for taller dogs weighing 30-100 lbs. with a 20″+ shoulder height, which fits my dog perfectly. It comes with one 7 cup standard stainless steel food bowl and one 9 cup extra capacity stainless steel water bowl. The water bowl is bigger because dogs need more water than food, which is great for keeping your pet hydrated. It also comes with a set of leg extensions which I used since my dog is so tall. This helps keep him from having to bend down to eat. Last but not least you get a set of non-skid rubber pads for the bottom of the feeder to keep it in place.
My dog Rocky was a little nervous about his new feeder. He was actually a bit reluctant to go near it for a few minutes. I called him and put a special treat in it (peanut butter) at first to get him to come over. He did come and check it out after a few minutes and has been fine with it ever since.
Here is Rocky getting a good drink of water. Notice the holes in the front of the feeder. That is where the water drips go. They are caught in the plastic holder beneath for easy cleaning. The Neater Feeder is truly one of those products that will leave you wondering how you ever lived without it for so long. I know that my life will never be the same again now that we own one.
Buy it: Do you have a dog or cat that is a messy eater? If so, you should try the Neater Feeder. It would make a great Christmas gift for your pet. You can get one in your choice of sizes online.
Win it: One of you will win a Neater Feeder in the size & color of your choice. (US residents only) Please enter through the Rafflecopter below. It may take 30 seconds or more to load.
Disclosure: I received free product as part of this review. All opinions stated are my own.

In a few weeks, Televisa's telenovela Quiero Amarte, starring Christian de la Fuente and Karyme Lozano, will be coming to an end in Mexico. Good will triumph over evil, boy gets girl and everyone will be happy right?
Wrong. Some fans want the fairy tale ending to end with a slight twist.
Fans have been flocking social media, sending tweets and comments to the writers and the producer to change the ending. Many would love to see the fairytale ending but with the antagonist, Constanza.
Using the hashtag #PorUnFinalDeMaxConConstanza they have been able to sustain a following and are gaining more sympathizers for their cause; including Christian de la Fuente, who tweeted his support.
While the story began with a powerful message of love between the parents of the main characters, somewhere along the line, the love story of the main characters, Max and Amaya, was lost.
The story began with De la Fuente's character, Max, in love and engaged to his long-time girlfriend, Constanza, played by Adriana Louvier. Constanza was confused not only by the lies that her professor instilled in her but by his obsessive love for her. He managed to break up their wedding, assuring Constanza that Max had been unfaithful to her with another woman, Amaya (played by Karyme Lozano).
Apparently Max becomes "in love" with Amaya after saving her from drowning and caring for her while she was trying to escape from her cheating husband. Nothing happens but apparently Max and Amaya are now in love.
Forward a few months later and Amaya marries Max's brother in the name of "revenge", sacrificing the "love" she said she had for Max. Amaya's character lost a lot of credibility with many fans because of this.
Faithful telenovela watchers of Quiero Amarte, have taken to social media to have their voices heard. For weeks now, they have been stepping up the ante in their quest to have Max live happily ever after with his first girlfriend, Constanza.
Constanza, who has since moved in with Max and pregnant with his child, is not perceived as an actual villain. Most fans would agree that she was actually a victim of intrigue by her former lover and professor. A lie that separated the true love that Max and Constanza had for one another they claim.
We'll soon find out if the writers and producers have a change of heart and gives them the fairytale ending they want to see.
The overall story of the telenovela, Quiero Amarte, is good. Some slow parts could be edited out to move it along but the storyline is very well written and the characters have been given proper depth.
Quiero Amarte boasts of an international cast and takes place in the beautiful and indigenous Mexican state of Chiapas. The production has done a marvelous task of depicting traditional dress-wear in Chiapas, it's main agricultural influence (coffee) and has alluded to the issue of immigration with the neighboring country of Guatemala. All relatable elements with U.S. Hispanic audiences.
TV ratings for Quiero Amarte in Mexico may not reflect it entirely, but it is one of the best telenovelas of 2014. The telenovela ends June 1st in Mexico. No word yet as to when or if Univision will retransmit for U.S. audiences.

I live in Michigan and ride mainly XC trails. I like 26 in bikes but a HT feels short to me, and while a FS is longer I dont believe I need FS in Michigan.
I'm looking at "Freeride" 26 in bikes like the Transition Trans Am or Santa Crus Chameleon. Each has a longer wheelbase (about 44 inches) and a slacker headtube angle (68 degree).
I'm looking for opinions as to how this slack of HT will work for XC.
Thanks much
