confusables are sometimes used to generate tricky answers for the multiple choice.
if there are insufficient confusables, auto confusables can be used: in multi-char words, use words that have one or more of the chars in common. also use parents and children. or characters that share parents or children.
also, auto-confusables could show up when editing a word so curators can easily add them to confusables, or, alternately, opt out of them.

Barnsley Youth Choir is recording a Christmas single with the same man who helped produce The Clash's first album and worked with the Beach Boys and Abba.
The choir, which formed in 2009, is aiming to take on the X-Factor winner after working with producer Simon Humphrey at his £1m Chairworks studio in Leeds to release a single that will raise money for Barnsley Hospice.
Mr Humphrey is well-known in the music industry and also worked with artists such as the Culture Club and Marc Bolan.
Barnsley Youth Choir has more than 180 members, aged between seven and 19, and is led by musical director Mat Wright, a teacher at Horizon Community College.
The choir will be split into two sections for the recording, with the younger members singing Winter Wonderland and older members singing O Holy Night. O Holy Night is the song being marketed as the single.
Mat said the choir is 'buzzed and excited' about the single and has set its sights on going national.

After a Mess or Two, a Star Chef Starts Over
By ADAM NAGOURNEY
Published: February 17, 2002
The 18th-century French walnut door is back, hanging at the entrance of his latest restaurant in TriBeCa. In the foyer, the welcoming smell of apples has returned as well. And behind the stove, David Bouley himself is back, promising to cook every night just the way he did at his first restaurant, which many diners viewed as the best in New York City.
Six years ago, Mr. Bouley was a man of grand dreams and dazzling ambitions, arguably the city's most brilliant chef, a man whose cooking talent was as wide as his ego. He closed his four-star restaurant, Bouley, at the top of its game, spinning out a vision of a gastronomic empire that would stretch from TriBeCa to Midtown.
But today, New York's star chef and restaurateur is alone at the stove again. After a succession of unsuccessful partnerships, a run of feuds with colleagues and collaborators, and the upheaval caused by the World Trade Center attack, Mr. Bouley has abandoned — or deferred, as he prefers to describe it — nearly all of his plans: the restaurants, the cooking school, the huge food store. Even the Mohawk Building, a seven-story complex on Hudson Street that was to be Mr. Bouley's monument to cooking, is up for sale.
Mr. Bouley's vision of a culinary empire has come down to this: the low-slung building on West Broadway where his four-star Bouley Bakery has operated since 1997, and Danube, his three-star Austrian restaurant around the corner. Bouley Bakery, which Mr. Bouley had opened as a relatively modest restaurant and bakery to hold him over until his bigger dreams were realized, will henceforth be known as Bouley, and will be his signature restaurant, as the walnut door that came from the original Bouley around the corner and the apples are intended to make clear.
"I decided I didn't want to wear that real estate hat anymore," said Mr. Bouley, speaking at once softly and urgently, amid the construction clutter of his new — or is it old? — restaurant near Duane Street. "I want to be a chef again. So I decided to put the door back on, and put the apples back."
"This is going to be my flagship," he proclaimed. "I'm back with my jacket. I'm cooking every day. I've got to get back to where I left off."
That Mr. Bouley has settled back to where he was six years ago is, to a certain extent, part of the story of what has happened to downtown New York since Sept. 11. The front windows of Bouley Bakery splintered from the force of the trade center collapse seven blocks south, and police barricades shut down both of Mr. Bouley's restaurants for months. In a neighborhood where the future of even the corner delicatessen seemed in doubt, Mr. Bouley's hopes vanished in the space of a morning.
Yet in many ways, the terrorist attack only hastened what even some of his former colleagues believe was the inevitable collapse of an enterprise that always seemed far too ambitious, proposed by a man whose business skills were not up to his culinary ones. From that perspective, Mr. Bouley is as much a victim of his own ambition and, in the view of a few former colleagues, arrogance, as of anything that might have befallen downtown New York.
If Mr. Bouley is universally praised as one of the best chefs cooking today, he remains one of the most polarizing figures in his field. Even in this world, where a four-star review stirs envy and resentment, the kitchen knives come out for Mr. Bouley. For many of his colleagues, the news that the Mohawk Building is up for sale is Mr. Bouley's comeuppance.
Whatever his successes, Mr. Bouley has left in the trail of his career a line of creditors, furious former employees and estranged friends. Many of the familiar faces at the old Bouley Bakery, among them his maître d'hôtel and his executive chef, have abandoned him. The exodus was hastened as details of Mr. Bouley's contract with the Red Cross to provide meals to rescue workers at the trade center were reported in The New York Observer.
Mr. Bouley was paid $5.8 million to produce 1,547,496 meals over 50 days, according to the Red Cross. He relied to some extent on donated food and volunteer workers, including some of his own employees, who were working without pay.
Mr. Bouley said the donated food and labor were crucial to ensure that he could provide Bouley-quality meals to the workers sifting through the destruction. Red Cross officials said they had approved the arrangement from the start, and factored in the savings in computing the fee per meal, which averaged $3.75. At the time, both of Mr. Bouley's restaurants were being used solely for the relief effort; he said he was not sure then that he would ever be able to reopen them.
Still, fairly or not, Mr. Bouley found himself accused of profiteering by employees whose own Bouley paychecks stopped after Sept. 11. The report in The Observer singed his reputation when Mr. Bouley's business practices were already the subject of gossip, with food suppliers going to court to try to recover money they said he owed them.

LostCircuits has a new review up of the "Shuttle SB52G2" the companies newest Small Form Factor PC. I have been a happy owner of the SB51 for quite some time now and don't know if I could ever go back to a regular PC again. The SB52G2 sweetens things up by adding a gigabit ethernet connection, hyperthreading support, and a more polished look on the case. Including a window.
After conquering the desktop world in a "Tour De Force", Shuttle's XPCs are out after the big guys, that is, the entry server market. The latest secret weapon, that is, the SB52G2 features dual LAN, one of which is of the Gigabit class for easy clustering and redundancy configurations. A minor face-lift also helps to distinguish the SB52G2 from its predecessors and any other XPC knock-off on the market.

About six hours before Arizona Gov. Jan Brewer made the right decision Wednesday for her state, by vetoing SB 1062, the so-called "religious freedom" bill that promised to exact serious economic repercussions had it become law, two Ohio lawmakers took heed of what happened out west and said there would be no further consideration of HB 376 in the Buckeye State.
The bill Gov. Brewer vetoed would have allowed businesses that asserted their religious beliefs the right to deny service to gay and lesbian customers. But while that issue became the focus of news coverage, opponents of the bill, including business and business groups, and other voices said signing the bill would allow anyone to discriminate against anyone on virtually any grounds by claiming they were exercising their freedom of religion.
Included in her statement, Gov. Brewer said not only does Senate Bill 1062 not address a specific and present concern related to religious liberty in Arizona, she said she has not heard of "one example in Arizona where a business owner's religious liberty has been violated."
Ohio State Reps. Tim Derickson (R-Oxford) and Bill Patmon (D-Cleveland) released a statement on HB 376 mid-afternoon Wednesday that didn't equivocate about whether they would push for their bill in light of today's activity in Arizona.
"The intent of House Bill 376 was to ensure Ohioans' religious freedom by protecting their ability to freely worship and preventing any laws from burdening the free exercise of religion," the two legislators said in a joint release. In light of the the controversy occurring in Arizona, "we feel that it is in the best interest of Ohioans that there be no further consideration of this legislation."
Brewer cited one reason for her veto—the "broadly worded" would have "unintended and negative consequences—and said she had weighed the arguments on both sides before vetoing SB 1062.
She told supporters of the legislation that she understood the long-held norms about marriage and family that are being challenged as never before. "Our society is undergoing many dramatic changes," she said, "However, I sincerely believe that Senate Bill 1062 has the potential to create more problems than it purports to solve. It could divide Arizona in ways we cannot even imagine and no one would ever want."
Derickson and Patmon backed off their bill, saying that while protecting people's liberties—religious or otherwise—is important to House members, they did not want to pass a law that would in any way be misconstrued to be discriminatory. "
Although the bill stemmed from a well-meaning place, we do not want to allow any room for confusion on this important issue," the lawmakers said. "Discrimination of any kind was never the intent of this legislation. While our commitment to religious freedom remains constant, it is in the best interest of all Ohioans that no further consideration be given to House Bill 376."
An attorney representing the Alliance Defending Freedom, which helped craft the bill, criticized the governor's decision to CNN. "Freedom loses when fear overwhelms facts and a good bill is vetoed," Doug Napier said in a statement. "Today's veto enables the foes of faith to more easily suppress the freedom of the people of Arizona."
Not surprisingly, Alessandra Soler, executive director of the American Civil Liberties Union of Arizona, had an opposing view. "Discrimination has no place in Arizona, or anywhere else," she said. "We're grateful that the governor has stopped this disgraceful law from taking effect, and that Arizona will remain open for business to everyone."
According to an analysis of HB376 by the Ohio Legislative Service Commission, it "would prohibit state action or an action by any person based on state action from burdening a person's right to exercise of religion, even if the burden results from a rule of general applicability, unless it is demonstrated that applying that burden is both essential to further a compelling governmental interest and the least restrictive means of furthering that compelling governmental interest. Authorizes a person whose exercise of religion has been burdened or is likely to be burdened in violation of the above prohibition to assert the violation or impending violation as a claim or defense in a judicial proceeding regardless of whether the state or a political subdivision is a party to the proceeding."
In Arizona, the fiscal impact was made all too clear to Gov. Bewer by a host of businesses and business groups. In Ohio, the fiscal notes for HB 376 seemed tame give the murky language about the costs attributed to it.
"The bill may increase the amount of money expended by the state and its political subdivisions to litigate and settle certain civil matters involving governmental action, as it provides an additional basis on which a person can assert a right to exercise religion and obtain appropriate relief," LSC noted. "The timing and the magnitude of any such expenditure increases would be contingent upon the behavior of private parties and governmental entities in the future, and are uncertain."
Among the businesses that cautioned Gov. Brewer to veto the bill were American Airlines, AT&T, Delta Airlines, Intel, Marriott, PetSmart, Starwood, Apple and Yelp. Collectively they warned that not vetoing the bill would be "bad for the state's reputation and bad for business -- repelling tourists, potential employees and current workers who live in the state," according to published reports.
A big driver against the bill was concern over whether next year's Super Bowl would still take place in Arizona. The Arizona Super Bowl Host Committee said it did not support the legislation.
"We share the NFL's core values which embrace tolerance, diversity, inclusiveness and prohibit discrimination," the committee said in a statement, CNN reported. "We have heard loud and clear from our various stakeholders that adoption of this legislation would not only run contrary to that goal but deal a significant blow to the state's economic growth potential."
In separate news today, a federal judge in Texas ruled a ban on gay marriage unconstitutional. The ruling was the sixth federal judge in a row to rule marriage discrimination unconstitutional since the U.S. Supreme Court said the federal government must recognize existing legal same-sex marriages.
Previously in Ohio, U.S. District Judge Timothy S. Black ruled that the state did not have the right to not recognize out-of-state same-sex marriages.
Judge Black said that, under the Constitution of the United States, "Ohio must recognize valid out-of-state marriages between same-sex couples on Ohio death certificates, just as Ohio recognizes all other out-of-state marriages." Otherwise, he said, it would violate the United States Constitution's guarantee of equal protection.
"No State shall make or enforce any law which shall . . . deny to any person within its jurisdiction equal protection of the laws," the judge wrote."
Back in Arizona, just to show discrimination is a two-way street, Rocco's Little Chicago Pizzeria, a local Tucson pizza shop, put up a sign saying it "reserves the right to refuse service to Arizona legislators."

Comstock, Ferre & Co., 263 Main St. in Old Wethersfield, will hold their 4th annual Heirloom Festival, a celebration of spring and the beginning of planting season this Sunday, May 25, from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. (rain or shine)
Storied History
On September 25, 1811, Joseph Belden printed an advertisement in the Hartford Courant listing the various seeds he had for sale. This simple act proved to be the start of an agricultural business that has remained a stronghold on Old Wethersfield's Main Street for over two centuries, under the direction of various presidents and owners. Following his older brother Joseph's lead, James Lockwood Belden took control of the business in the 19th-century, selling seeds out of his colonial home, which still stands on the company's property today.
Heirloom Seeds
A recent resurgence in home gardening, sparked by public interest in fresh, local, and healthy food alternatives, has resulted in a renewed emphasis on what are known as heirloom seeds and plants. The term describes a seed from a plant that is of particular value, and recognized as worth preserving from one generation to another. Such plants, nurtured through careful growth, are usually selected for their value in terms of flavor, productivity, hardiness, and adaptability. In some cases, certain seed histories can be traced back 300 years or more.
New beginnings
In June 2010, Jere and Emilee Gettle, owners of the Baker Creek Heirloom Seed Company, purchased Comstock, Ferre & Co. with the intention of restoring the storied business's rich agricultural heritage. To achieve this aim, the Gettles have been working to find and preserve seed varieties included in Belden's original catalog, and have successfully restored the grounds and antique equipment from the business's early days.
Heirloom Festival
The festival will feature a number of fun-filled family activities including a variety of musical acts, engaging speakers, dancing, children's activities, and food demonstrations. For a complete schedule of events, see below:

Havering's Safer Neighbourhood teams vacancies sparks concern
09:00 07 April 2012
The number of vacancies within the borough's safer neighbourhood teams has sparked concerns from a councillor.
There are currently vacancies for three police constable positions and nine police community support officers in Havering's Safer Neighbourhood teams(SNT) .
The figure was revealed after a question at Full Council meeting by Cllr Linda Van den Hende (RA, Upminster).
The SNT team with the largest vacancy is in Gooshays ward with a shortage of three PCSOs.
Mawneys, Harold Wood, Heaton, Cranham, Hylands and Emerson park all have positions for one PCSO.
Cranham has two vacancies for PCs, while Elm Park has one vacancy.
Cllr Van den Hende said: "I asked the question about the SNT because I know that there are a lot of vacancies, but they just don't seem to be getting filled.
"I think the SNT teams do a real vitAL work in their communities and they have been really successful in driving down burglaries and when people see them walking around in the area they feel a lot safer."
Safer Neighbourhood teams were created five years ago (CHECK) to dedict a team of officers to every London neighbourhood.
It was hoped that they would create a visible prescence in the community and would be additional to other policing teams.
The models for the SNT include one police sergeant, two PCs and three PCSOs.
But some wards now share police sergeants and in Gooshays, which is a super ward, there is one police sergeant, two PCS and six PCSOs.
A spokesman for Havering Police said: "Safer neighbourhood teams in Havering are currently running to a smaller strength.
"An internal recruitment for PCSOs has recently taken place and we expect 13 PCs to join
the borough in coming months. The PCSO recruitment process is currently underway to ensure that the teams are up to strength at the soonest opportunity."

Bloomfield Hills
Michigan-made Clinage skincare line wins acclaim
By Robin Ruehlen
Posted January 29, 2013
BLOOMFIELD HILLS — Many people may not realize that one of the nation's first cosmeceutical companies was launched right in metro Detroit more than 50 years ago — but the skincare products first developed by Dr. Robert Fosnaugh and continued by his daughter are gaining popularity all over the country.
The Clinage Skin Care Rejuvenation Systems won the Best Beauty Product Award at Fashion Group International Detroit's inaugural awards ceremony Dec. 6. Founder and President Marcia Fosnaugh Avis said she has made it her life's mission to improve the skin health of people of all ages.
"I'm very proud and appreciative of this award, and I'm hoping we can get the word out about Clinage products," Avis, a lifelong Bloomfield Hills resident, said.
"We've been around a long time, and our goal this year is to introduce the public to our products and show them the benefits. The Internet is a great way for people to be introduced to our line, but we really want them to come in and touch, feel and experience the products for themselves."
She said the Clinage line is designed for skin of all types and ages and works to produce plumping, firming cell production; minimize pores and stretch marks; and reduce the effects of acne and scarring.
"The most important part is the fact that we are a true cosmeceutical company, which means we use medical-grade substances that produce physical changes to the skin and truly dramatic results," Avis said.
"It's very easy to use. It's available to the general public. It's affordable, and the word of mouth keeps us going. People start using it and never stop."
The late Fosnaugh dedicated 48 years to treating dermatological skin disorders and conducting reconstructive and cosmetic surgery. In 1959, he began testing skin care products under lab conditions, resulting in a line of products used in his clinic.
Avis, who had been witnessing her father's work since she was just 4 years old, joined his practice after college and worked in the lab, developing topical treatments and products for acne, pigmentation and skin aging. In 1993, she founded Clinitone Skin Care and began marketing those products to other doctors and skin care professionals.
Among the most popular Clinage products now are the Vitamin C Home Peel Kit and other vitamin A, C and E products.
"The home peel is very popular because it allows the general public to do the three-step peel at home, work on specific areas and skip the dermatologist, saving thousands of dollars," Avis said.
Clinage consultants offer group seminars at the Fosnaugh Center in Southfield and at in-home sessions to help educate others on the product line.
"We teach at beauty schools and we teach doctors," Avis said.
"We're highly education-oriented. We want everyone to understand what's going on with their skin, and as we're repairing, we're also preventing. Our products are made from substances that are pure and clean and safe, and they really do structurally change the skin."
Clinage retail manager Kelley Bushey said customers who visit the Fosnaugh Center can discuss their skin concerns with professionals.
"Marcia is really good at what she does — we can get a look at someone's regiments and habits, and she can diagnose immediately why someone is having breakouts or issues," Bushey said.
"I've had a lot of customers that have tried so many other products, but they say this is the only thing that works."
So, what's the worst thing for skin? Avis has one word: sun.
"About 80 percent of our aging comes from the sun or from tanning booths," she said.
"We are irradiating and damaging our skin and moving along the continuum from a normal cell to a cancer cell. One of the No. 1 killers of young adults is melanoma because of increased sun exposure and tanning booths. It's cumulative from the day we're born, all that cumulative radiation brings you to today's date."
For more information, visit www.clinage.com or call (248) 353-6884. The Fosnaugh Center is located at 20240 W. 12 Mile Road in Southfield.

"Takeda...may I speak to you away from everyone else for a moment? I need to discuss something with you."

Talk:Subversion Installation
Solved Problems
echo $HOME/lib/svn-python > $HOME/lib/python2.3/site-packages/subversion.pth
I have no idea why this is required and I think it worked without it, but the Subversion SWIG Install instructions say that you need to do. It gave the reason, but it was too confusing for me to understand so I couldn't remember what the text said. I don't feel like going back to read it.
If you know or understand the reason behind this then you could tell me and write the reason in the guide? Thanks.

This is required to use the Subversion Python SWIG bindings, e.g. Trac. There are other ways to go about this, but this is probably the easiest way that I've seen. By default, subversion installs the bindings in the first directory where python doesn't know to look for it. This command makes python aware of the bindings.

- Thanks for clearing that up! It could be the source of a some people having problems. Santosj 07:02, 23 Apr 2006 (PDT)
Missing files...
I don't have a libsvn in .../lib/python2.3/site-packages/
So I can't do this:
cd $HOME/lib/python2.3/site-packages mv libsvn libsvn.b0rk
--Marlun 07:29, 15 Mar 2006 (PST)
- If you don't have it then you don't need to do it. It is just there in case you have the folder and stuff in it. If you don't have the folder then the symbolic links will take care of the rest. Santosj 14:56, 16 Mar 2006 (PST)
I never created those symbolic links and my Trac installation still seems to work, what do they do? Should I create them now anyway? --Marlun 15:45, 16 Mar 2006 (PST)
- No, if it works then it is all good. It was a fix for an issue a long time ago for I think SWIG/Subversion Bindings. It is good to cover all bases in case someone does have an issue, at least they would have it fixed. -Santosj 19:33, 16 Mar 2006 (PST)
Multiple Projects
I followed the various MySQL installations with success for a single project repository.
As I have multiple SVN repositories at svn.hostname.dom/*, I'd like to have multiple Trac projects at trac.hostname.dom/*. I was able to do it by modifying the index.f?cgi. Commenting out the line containing "export TRAC_ENV=", and adding:
export TRAC_ENV_PARENT_DIR="$HOME/trac_sites"
However, the linking (most obviously CSS resources) get all messed up with the pretty modifications. For example,
http://trac.domainname.dom/repos/chrome/common/css/trac.css exists (after the .htaccess RewriteRule), but the pages try to find: http://trac.domainname.dom/index.fcgi/chrome/common/css/trac.css or something of the like.
Anyway, my acceptable work around is as follows (from the begining). I've created a new subdomain and database name for each project/repository using a single databases server/domain and user. For each subdomain, I point to the trac_sites/repos as in the documentation above. aeg 3 Apr 2007

Every diamond in Bentley Diamond Diamond Jewellery is conflict-free and child labour free. Bentley Diamond is aware of the problem of conflict diamonds and has taken measures to guarantee that no conflict diamonds enter its supply chain or its jewellery. Thanks in great part to international cooperation between governments, the diamond industry, retail jewellers and non-government organizations such as Global Witness and Partnership Africa Canada, vast improvements have been made in the fight against conflict diamonds. However one diamond used to fund conflict is one too many, and continued vigilance is essential. What is A Conflict Diamond? Conflict diamonds are rough, uncut diamonds used by rebel movements or their allies to finance armed conflict aimed at undermining legitimate governments. In 1998 the Non-government Organisation (NGO) Global Witness brought to the worlds attention the fact that rebel groups were funding their war against the legitimate government in this way. The Bentley Diamond Group has been working with governments through the United Nations and other international organizations to ensure that future conflicts cannot be funded in this way, and the Bentley Diamond Group was instrumental in creating the World Diamond Council to represent the international diamond and jewellery industry in the Kimberley Process. What is the Kimberley Process? The World Diamond Council has worked successfully with the United Nations, governments and groups such as Global Witness and Partnership Africa Canada to introduce a system for the certification of the source of uncut diamonds to prevent the trade in conflict diamonds. This system, known as the Kimberley Process Certification Scheme (KPCS), was formally adopted in November 2002, and came into operation on January 1, 2003. Andrew Coxon, President of the Bentley Diamond Institute of Diamonds, is a founding member of the World Diamond Council and spearheaded this initiative on behalf of the diamond industry. How Does the Kimberley Process Work? The KPCS requires participating governments to ensure that each shipment of rough diamonds exported be in a secure container and accompanied by a uniquely numbered, government-validated certificate stating that the diamonds are conflict-free. Over 45 countries participate, representing all the nations with significant involvement in the diamond trade. All 45 importing countries agree not to accept any rough diamonds without an approved Kimberley Process Certificate. What is Bentley Diamond Doing To Prevent the Use of Conflict Diamonds in Bentley Diamond Jewellery? We believe the injury and hardship suffered by any local population when conflicts arise in diamond producing areas is unacceptable. We believe that seeking to profit from conflicts in diamond producing areas is also unacceptable, and we are committed to taking action to address concerns arising out of the misuse of rough diamonds:

Things are a little weird at the country club these days. Insurance CEOs are refusing to play golf with energy CEOs and vice versa -- lots of towel snapping and wedgies in the locker room between members of the two usually friendly groups.
The issue that has these captains of industry at each others'throats is global warming. It seems the insurance honchos, whose companies have been paying out record amounts for global warming-related claims, have had it up to here with Big Oil's relentless campaign to fuel climate change denial in Congress and confusion of the issue in the minds of the American public.
The conflict spilled into Washington on July 18, when the Reinsurance Association of America (RAA), the insurance industry's trade association, long accustomed to having its way on the Hill, asked Congress to develop regulatory policies to reduce America's output of greenhouse gasses,the cause of global warming and the RAA members'current fiscal nightmare.
The RAA may as well have asked congressional Republicans to belt out a stirring rendition of "The Internationale."
Although the world's climatologists have long agreed that the planet's disastrous warming trend is caused by burning fossil fuels, Republicans continue to believe that global warming is a lie, made up by America-hating, tree-hugging communists.
In other words, the insurance industry is asking Republicans to make laws to prevent something that they claim doesn't exist. Although that hasn't stopped Republicans from enacting voter ID laws to prevent voter fraud, which they know doesn't exist, or from introducing legislation to ban the use of Sharia Law in courtrooms, which they should know doesn't exist. Still, I think the insurance industry is in for a lot of disappointment from Republicans on this global warming thing.

Study: Soy Tablets Don't Prevent Menopausal Bone Loss
Sorry, soy supplements.
Women in the first five years of menopause who took the supplements saw no differences in bone-mineral density and experienced more hot flashes than women who took a placebo, a new study finds.
Many women sought out alternatives to hormone therapy after studies suggested health risks. Soy products are attractive because they contain plant estrogens, specifically two isoflavones called genistein and daidzein. "The concept is that they can provide some estrogen-like effects, hopefully the benefits but not the risks," Silvina Levis, an author of the new study and professor and director of the Osteoporosis Center at the University of Miami Miller School of Medicine, tells the Health Blog.
But the research, published in Archives of Internal Medicine, combined with earlier studies, suggests menopausal women aren't helping themselves by taking these products in the hope of shoring up bone density (there was no difference between the groups) or staving off hot flashes (they were more common among the women taking soy). The study covered 248 women aged 45 to 60 who took the supplements or a placebo for two years.
If the supplements worked, they would have represented an "easy, inexpensive, healthy way to prevent bone loss," says Levis.
Levis says this doesn't mean a diet rich in soy doesn't have a protective effect. The foods themselves — tofu, edamame, soy milk, for example — differ in their nutritional makeup, and they are different from the isoflavones found in supplements. They also contain protein, she says.
"The reason we went for soy isoflavones instead of food is that for a western woman, it's very, very hard to change her diet to eat as much soy food as a woman in Asia," says Levis. The supplements were equivalent to about twice the amount of isoflavones in a typical Asian diet.
The study was funded by the National Institute of Arthritis and Musculoskeletal and Skin Diseases, part of the National Institutes of Health. The NIH has been stepping up its funding of over-the-counter supplement research.

Style.com Coming to Print, Adding E-Commerce
Wednesday, August 24, 2011
After more than a decade as the lead digital-only fashion brand for Condé Nast and now under the Fairchild Fashion Media, Style.com will put its brand on a print magazine in late October, the company announced earlier this week on its Web site and in media interviews. The $4.99 special issue is promising "to combine the immediacy of the digital experience with the richness of print," according to Style.com. The magazine will be available shortly after the last fall fashion show ends and will chronicle both the styles as well as the event experience, editor Dirk Standen tells Business of Fashion. "This is 4 weeks, twice a year, with all these people in close proximity under a lot of pressure" he says. "There is a real story to be told that maybe hasn't been told."
Just as Fairchild/Condé Nast's print titles are becoming platform agnostic, so too do the digital-only brands need to expand into traditional venues, Standen says. Style.com was among the digital brands created by the company's Web umbrella CondeNet back in the 1990s. Along with Epicurious. Style.com was devised as a standalone business that did not rely on the print identities of Vogue or Gourmet for content or staff. In recent years, however, CN's approach to these platforms has changed considerably as the magazines have asserted themselves more aggressively on the Web and in apps and the emphasis on a standalone digital strategy diminished. One of the architects of that original model, Sarah Chubb, left her post as the head of Condé Nast Digital earlier this year after more than 20 years with the company.
Standen also revealed that for the first time Style.com plans to offer select designer pieces for sale at the site. The e-commerce addition will be announced formally during fashion week and rolled out in the same time frame as the Style.com magazine. the limited offer will involve six designers to start, but he expects more e-commerce to emerge at the site over time.
The magazine will be on sale on October 31. Standen is tweeting and answering reader questions about Style.com magazine via the #styledotmag has tag.

I am hoping to loan a horse very soon, the owner and I have been discussing livery and prices but as a first time loaner I was wondering if anybody has any tips for me on what I should ask the owner about the horse before signing any contracts?
I have a general idea of what to ask, such as when he was last vetted, wormed, shoed etc. and if he is prone to any illness or injuries because obviously it would cost me more if he was, but are there any questions I'm missing?
I already know the basics of the horse too of course :)
Help would be much appreciated!

Does he/she have any strange/potentially costly 'habits'... I only say this because the women who we share a field with has just got a new mare on loan who seems to want to eat the entirity of the wooden posts and rails! Shes only been here three days and has already munched a significant amount! It must be said that this could of been to do with stress and/or excitement due to being somewhere new and unknown, but if she does carry on we might have to paint the fence with something. Anyway good luck, you seem like you're goging about it in a good and sensible way, and I'm sure you'll be rewarded :)

Apart from the advice you'll get here, do also look at the BHS website as this has info on loaning and contracts, etc. When we loaned a horse a couple of years ago we had a month's "trial" during which time he could go back if either of us was unhappy with anything. If you could sort this, it would give you a reasonable chance to give him a good try - especially if he's staying at the same yard as he'll be fairly settled.

The Dial Masters: Original Choice Takes (Spotlite 1092)
Charlie Parker (alto sax), Miles Davis (trumpet), Duke Jordan (piano), Tommy Potter (bass), Max Roach (drums).
Composed by Jimmy McHugh and Dorothy Fields.
Recorded: New York, November 4, 1947
Rating: 99/100 (learn more)
This track may not be as well known as Bird's version of "Embraceable You," recorded a few days earlier, but it still ranks as one of Parker's finest ballad performances. Miles tackles the intro, but the altoist takes center stage with an opening chorus that barely touches on the melody. Parker handles this song with such effortless mastery and with so many melodic ideas flowing from his horn that anything the other musicians might add would be anticlimactic. Miles makes the smart decision, and follows the leader with an understated solo that looks forward to his cool stylings of the next decade. Somehow this track gets left off the "greatest hits" compilations, but it may be the closest thing we have to a definitive alto sax treatment of the Jimmy McHugh standard.

If you're looking for a high intensity workout that will blast away calories and keep your body burning fat long after you're done exercising, then Shred 415 might be just what you're looking for.
Shred 415 offers a workout that impacts your entire body with high intensity interval training. Although high intensity workouts aren't new to Chicago, Shred 415 is leaving its mark on the second city. Each 60-minute class alternates between cardio work on treadmills and weightlifting. The idea behind the program is to keep your body moving for the entire hour so you get as much out of your workout as possible - interval training at its best.
Half of the class begins on the treadmill, where the speed and incline of the machine will continually vary. After that, they will switch and move to lifting weights, where they will complete strength training exercises that change every 30 seconds to a minute.
If the workout sounds intimidating, you should think twice before passing it up. Shred 415 says that it is for people of all athletic levels, and lets participants choose their own speed on the treadmill. What's more, Shred 415 offers a very unique kind of workout. It is the only studio of its kind in the area, with secluded locations that offer small, private classes. Shred 415 wants its participants to be able to dedicate all of their focus to their exercise in order to keep their minds as equally engaged as their bodies.
To try out the class from a fitness enthusiast perspective, I sent over friend Cynthia Sassi visiting from Phoenix to try the class for herself. (I thought I needed an outside perspective to avoid a biased opinion... I love interval classes and knew I'd be excited about this type of training getting center stage.) Cynthia loved the intense workout. She said it had great music that helped pump her up for the exercises, while the instructors were engaged and energetic. She added that it was a challenging workout for people of all levels, but that there were always available modifications for each exercise so that everyone could workout at their preferred level. Finally, at the end of the workout, participants were able to make use of the studio's great facilities, with showers, hair dryers, and even custom workout towels.
Shred 415 was created by Chicago fitness experts Bonnie Micheli and Tracy Roemer, who oversee two of Shred 415's three locations. Shred 415 has three locations in Lincoln Park, Old Town, and the North Shore. For more information about Shred 415, please call (773) 360-8228 or visit www.shred415.com.

In the early '90s, nationally recognized club singers, from Crystal Waters to CeCe Peniston, were the chief draw for gay nightclubs. Soon after, DJs became the marquee talent, packing 'em in by the thousands. Now it's shifted again — to drag queens. And Ed Bailey, co-owner of the popular nightclub Town Danceboutique, has had a front-row seat to watch that shift occur.
"It didn't use to be the case," says Bailey, "because there was no way for drag queens to have any kind of national notoriety." But thanks to RuPaul's Drag Race – launched in 2009 – more and more drag queens are able to pursue the career of simply being a drag queen, cultivating a national following in the process.
Town, with its immensely popular, twice-weekly drag show featuring homegrown drag stars led by Lena Lett, Shiqueeta Lee and Ba'Naka, has become an early and frequent stop on any Drag Race queen's tour. Most of the stars from this year's Season 4, for example, have appeared repeatedly at Town – much to Bailey's delight.
"We are now enjoying the most successful year we've had since we've been open," marvels Bailey, who decided to throw a party to celebrate on the exact day the club first opened five years ago: Saturday, Nov. 17. Chris Cox, who became a headline DJ for Bailey at Nation as one-half of Thunderpuss, will do the anniversary honors.
When John Guggenmos and Bailey first launched Town, Bailey concedes they only planned for a five-year run. "Five years is the general lifespan of a really good event – maybe not a club, but an event," he says. But considering how well the club – and especially its quickly developing neighborhood – is faring, they've decided no sense in stopping now. "We have signed a very long-term lease to be in the building for the foreseeable future," Bailey says. When asked if the "foreseeable future" spans another five years, Bailey says, "Absolutely. That's the plan."
So expect many more Drag Race-rs. And next weekend Town welcomes Latrice Royale, voted Ms. Congeniality on Drag Race Season 4. "Everyone loved Latrice," Bailey says. "She's just one of those people that you're drawn to."
Town's Five Year Anniversary Party is Saturday, Nov. 17. Latrice Royale appears Saturday, Nov. 24. Town is at 2009 8th NW. Visit towndc.com.

super magic hats
Filtered Artist Profile - Super Magic HatsA compilation of fresh new electronic artists
Last year, Bleep started a project to explore the musical underground - a seemingly infinite amount of talented music makers yet to be discovered.
Bleep alongside partners Warp Records, Sound- Cloud, and Transition Mastering Studios, reviewed over 4,000 demo tracks to get to this stage... Here stands the final Filtered compilation - a diverse and fascinating insight into the new wave of yet-to-be discovered producers that the international electronic underground is comprised of...
Artist Profile: Super Magic Hats
Band Members (all relevant): Rob Masterton
Real Names: (all relevant)Rob Masterton
Age: 27
Location: Melbourne, Australia
1. How long have you been making music for?
Most of my life in some form or another. I started playing guitar when I was 11 or 12, producing music with a 4-track recorder just after that, Djing when I was 17, producing techno in 2004 and have been writing music as Super Magic Hats since May 2011.
2. Tell us your process of making music?
I use Ableton Live as my main sequencer and work space. My music is based largely on creative editing within Ableton, I like to take a lot of samples and remake them into other things, as well as recording guitar and synth parts and even vocals sometimes and using those in the same way. I also use a Tenori-On to write loops on, and use a lot of field recordings to add a bit of noise if things are sounding too clean.
3. Tell us about the making of the track that made it to Filtered?
Happy Jazz was about the third Super Magic Hats track I wrote, it seems like a long time ago that it was made. It was basically a few guitar samples, a bit of keyboards and some spoken word one shots, I came up with the main loop and saved it as "Happy Jazz" because it sounded happy and jazzy to me. To make it into a track, I use the same loop played in a different order to provide the melodic counterpoint, and tried to be as unreserved as possible with cymbal crashes.
4. How did you hear about Filtered?
It was though the Bleep mailing list. I wasn't really thinking of entering at first because I knew the standard would be so high, but I guessed that I had nothing to lose. Bleep is a great platform so I was stoked when I made the top 50, that was something I was happy to tell anyone within earshot about.
5. Were you surprised when you were picked for Filtered.
Massively surprised! The standard of music from so many of the entrants was really high, and I had a preconception of the sort of sound that Bleep might be looking for. I felt confident in my own track but didn't see how it would fit in - you spend so long producing something though it's hard to step back and see a bigger picture. Anyway, I'm stoked to make the final compilation.
6. What are your musical influences?
They are many and varied... I love all sorts of music - interesting electronica, melodic techno and lo-fi indie, shoegaze, and things that are a bit unconventional and push boundries. Artists that have been especially important to the ethos of Super Magic Hats are James Holden, Spiritualized, Caribou, The MFA, Shonen Knife, Dirty Projectors, Gold Panda, Four Tet.... all of them inform what I do musically in their own way.
7. What do you have planned for your music after Filtered?
Hopefully some of those festival headline slots will come my way soon! In the meantime, I am going to carry on writing music and will hopefully have an album finished in 2012. A vinyl release of that would be pretty nice, as would being able to make a line of T-Shirts. I'd also like to continue playing gigs with other amazing artists and hope to tour interstate and overseas before too long.

It's hard not to be at least intrigued with Sony's upcoming announcement on February 20 that is almost certainly the unveiling of the Playstation 4. The current generation of gaming has lasted abnormally longer than generations past, and gamers are very eager to experience the next stage from the remaining two companies. Sony seem to be finally leading us there.
Way back in 2006-2007, the Playstation 3 didn't have the greatest launch titles. It's clear standout, Resistance: Fall of Man, was an above average shooter which only really took off with its sequels. The lack of other killer titles and a ridiculous launch price of around $1000 AUD is what drove me away from the PS3 initially, so I'd like to see Sony step it up, use their great exclusive franchises and get us the good stuff on day one.
Here is my ideal launch line-up for the PS4 -- a mixture of exclusives and long-awaited third-party titles -- which I acknowledge probably won't happen, but who knows? They've surprised us before.
Sony's developer Guerilla Games has been in the spotlight lately, with news of Killzone: Mercenary in development for PS Vita and a report on Killzone 4 allegedly arriving in time for the Playstation 4's launch running rampant online. The developer is known to have been working on several projects for some time.
New Killzone titles have been typically announced alongside Sony's hardware reveals, with Mercenaries originally alluded to during the Vita's launch. With two years passed since Killzone 3, it isn't a stretch to hope for one of the best-looking console shooters around to debut at the PS4's launch.
Beyond: Two Souls is the next game from Heavy Rain development studio Quantic Dream, a developer known for their cinematic take on gaming. Beyond: Two Souls chronicles the life of a young woman named Jodie Holmes, played by actress Ellen Page, and will be heavily narrative-based; "for the first time we will step away from the character to really learn about them. We will live a life through happy times, sad times, and shape the character until the very end."
If it's anything like Heavy Rain, it will be an experience to remember, and I wouldn't mind to wait a bit longer if David Cage and his team developed and surprised us with a PS4 launch release for this intriguing title.
One of two supposed exclusives for the Playstation 3 that continues to allude release and frustrate fans, it would be a perfect way to make it up to the Playstation fan-base by surprising us all with The Last Guardian becoming a launch title for the PS4.
Of course, we don't live in such an ideal fairy-tale world as The Last Guardian has crafted, but one can hope... right? Interestingly, news of the game conveniently sprang up today, with former head director Fumito Ueda stating a release announcement is "solely decided by Sony" in response to the staggering amount of emails he's been getting. Maybe they've been holding a reveal off?
Beyond Good & Evil is one of the best adventure-platforming games ever, yet the existence of a sequel never surfaced until 2008. Since then, Ubisoft and creator Michel Ancel have been extremely quiet about the title, with only scattered bits of information and leaked gameplay videos with great art direction and graphics keeping fans sane.
If the wait was for a surprise reveal on the next PS4 (or Xbox, whatever, I'll take it) then I'll forgive Ancel for unjustly delaying the fate of Hillys for almost a decade.
We all saw the trailer at E3 2012, and we all know Watch Dogs stole the show with its intriguing premise of cyber warfare, hacking and gorgeous graphics that couldn't possibly be run off current console specs.
Ubisoft have two clear thirty-party hits -- outside Rayman and Splinter Cell, of course -- in the pipe-line they can potentially run with in the new generation, and if I can't have Beyond Good & Evil, then Watch Dogs is almost certainly the next best thing.
Announced way back in May 2006, Square Enix has been irritating and disappointing fans for nearly eight years with the lack of information on the independent title set in the Fabula Nova Crystallis mythology, but completely unrelated to the unpopular FF-XIII trilogy (whew).
I'm just going to say what everyone's already hoping and thinking: it's never going to make it to the PS3, so the wait better damn well have been to be a launch title for the PS4.
I was a late-comer to the LBP franchise, but I inevitably became hooked on Sackboy's adventures all the same. I now understand why Sony use Sackboy to represent them in the same prominence as Nintendo uses Mario; a family friendly, extremely deep and enjoyable platformer, LPB is easily one of my favourite exclusive franchises to debut this generation.
It would be immensely awesome to begin the new generation with more crazy customisation and creation with Sackboy and Sackgirl, and will give me another reason to buy a PS4 and convince my girlfriend to do so -- she's the one who got me hooked on the series.
Sony is a company I respect, adore and always go to when it comes to quality exclusives. It's a no-brainer to expect a new series up the company's sleeve for the PS4 launch. With plenty of first-party studios entirely devoted to Playstation development, and a whole lot of those companies very conveniently quiet lately, it's not a stretch to hope for the next big franchise starter to kick the next-generation off. I just hope it's not another average shooter like Resistance.

It may be easy to forget about core sets in a rumor season like this one, with a set announcement due this weekend and all, but Magic 2015 is also coming out sooner than we think and it promises big things for none other than Lorwyn Five member and cursed summoner Garruk. MTGSalvation.com Rumor Mill user matrix_lord has reported details on the set prerelease.
It's not much, but as it seems, we will be getting another set of 5 Prerelease packs with the promotional cards included inside.
There will be a special activity related to Garruk.
Regarding DOTP 2015 - This time we'll get two different Promos (2 Special booster packs). One for those who download on Xbox Live Arcade and one for Steam/Ipad/Android/Kindle.
Each Prerelease Pack will include the following:
5 Magic 2015 Core Set Booster Packs
1 Magic 2015 Core Set Seeded Booster Pack
1 premium promo card
1 activity insert
1 Spindown life counter
1 oversized Garruk Challenge Card
3 Wolf tokens
The nature of the Garruk activity is yet unknown, but it seems unlikely to be anything quite so involved as a Challenge Deck, and will more likely be a puzzle. The Wolf tokens - presumably green 2/2s - are of note, and probably somehow relate to the new Garruk card's abilities. The promo booster packs for Duels of the Planeswalkers downloads are a welcome return from last year.

Word has come about that ATIC (Advanced Technology Investment Company) based in Abu Dhabi is looking to take full ownership of GlobalFoundries, whereby currently it is shared by both ATIC and AMD with AMD owning 34.2% of the company.
AMD are said to be very content with this as they are looking to leave the manufacturing business and stick to being a fab-less design company. Selling off part or perhaps all of its stake in GlobalFoundries will allow AMD to financially blossom by paying off remaining debts and invest more in R&D.
While no official announcement about the news has surfaced yet, we expect we'll be hearing more about this in the coming months.

Dog picks Monday Night Football winner between Patriots, Dolphins
OK, so Buddy the Beagle got it wrong last week. His appetite for dog treats couldn't predict Devin Hester's game-changing punt return and the Green Bay Packers beating themselves with 18 penalties.
But fear not. Buddy (2-2) won't let last week's disappointment keep him from predicting tonight's Monday Night Football winner between the New England Patriots and Miami Dolphins.
Does he believe the Patriots can win on the road with a swiss-cheese secondary? Does he predict that Dolphins quarterback Chad Henne can exploit that glaring New England weakness?
The answer is …
P.S. You can follow Buddy on Facebook, Tumblr and Twitter. You can also follow along on his adventures throughout the entire NFL season. Here's a recap of how he has fared, with links back to his earlier predictions.
Tracking Buddy's progress
Week 1 – Monday, Sep. 13 (the video)
Baltimore Ravens 10, New York Jets 9
Buddy's Pick: Jets (Buddy's record 0-1)

A Crain's Chicago Business article recently reported that Lincoln Square small businesses saw a 5% increase in sales and increased traffic in 2009. Coming out of a difficult year, what helped small businesses in this neighborhood grow?
Smarter spending
"I'm hearing that a lot of people took a much deeper and more critical look into their own business in 2009," says Melissa Flynn, executive director of the Lincoln Square Chamber of Commerce. This includes making more thoughtful purchasing decisions and listening to customer feedback on which items they want.
It also extends into looking for cost efficiencies across basic operations. For example, can you develop an email campaign instead of spending money on printing flyers?
Focusing on what you do best
Timeless Toys sells games, puzzles, dolls, books and other classic toys. The store does not focus on electronic toys, and in a year when many people wanted to go back to the basics, Timeless Toys' product selection was a perfect fit. More importantly, the store did a good job of communicating what it does offer by using tools like Constant Contact, an e-newsletter service, during the holidays. Co-owner Martha Burrows shares that the store has been collecting customer emails for a while, during transactions and raffles, which provided a good database for the first e-newsletter issue.
Listening to customer feedback
Beyond taking customer feedback into consideration when making purchasing decisions, what else can you learn? Enjoy, an Urban General Store, noticed that its retail space wasn't big enough considering all the families and parents with strollers that were coming in to shop. As a result, the store actually moved into a larger location in 2009 to better cater to its customers.
It's the little things that matter
Timeless Toys offers free gift wrapping. The Book Cellar hosts a weekly story hour for kids. These relatively simple gestures show customers you care about them and add value to their experience in your store.
The importance of shopping locally
Lincoln Square is the home to a very diverse population, in terms of culture, lifestyle and age. The businesses are equally diverse, and most shop owners also live in Lincoln Square. This local and personal involvement from store owners shows the community that these businesses are truly committed to the neighborhood.

There has been a lot of discussion in this area recently about whether a Christian has to go to church on a regular basis. The answer to that is a bit complex. While the Bible does say that worshipers need to come together to praise God's name, it doesn't say how often that should happen.
In Biblical times, people didn't go to worship once a week. Some people only went to organized worship once per year. Yes, people who were close to the temples went more often. Those who were in the countryside areas didn't usually go as often.
Whether a person chooses to go to church on a regular basis is another one of those choices in which God has to lead you. More important than how often you go to services is how you act when you aren't in service.
The Bible calls us to be lights for God. The only way to do this is to show others God's love. You can't just go to worship service, praise God, and then leave with a scowl on your face when you can't get out of the parking lot in two minutes flat.
Instead of focusing on how often you go to worship services, focus on how often you make an impact on people in your community. Your impact on those in the community shows an action. You can praise God in a parking lot if that is what you have to do to make an impact. You are still praising God, but you are in the presence of someone who needs to see God's love.
No matter what you choose to do in regards to organized worship, it is important that you follow God's lead. For some, organized worship is a kind of accountability program. For others, it is a stress causing event that can eventually turn them from religion.
In either case, you should make sure that you have fellow Christians to fellowship with who hold dear the same values you do. Just because someone says they are a Christian doesn't mean that they are going to have the values that you consider to be the cornerstones of your relationship with God.

Terry heads the Mobile Library Services department and enjoys each and every one of the communities the bookmobile serves.
This is an official blog for the Marin County Free Library.
All branches of Marin County Free Library will be closed on Monday, July 4 for Independence Day.
In his own words, Gary Paulsen talks about what books mean to him:
"One night, in a small Minnesota town (Thief River Falls) where I was selling newspapers, as I was walking past the public library in twenty below temperatures, I could see the reading room bathed in beautiful golden light. I went in to get warm and, to my absolute astonishment, the librarian walked up to me and said, 'Would you like a book?'
"I said, 'Sure.' And she said, 'Bring it back when you're done and you can get another one.' This went on for a long time. The librarian kept giving me things to take home and read— westerns, science fiction, and every once in a while a classic. She didn't care if I wore the right clothes, dated the right girls; none of those prejudices existed in the library. When she handed me a library card, she handed me the world.
"I roared through everything she gave me. It was as though I had been dying of thirst and the librarian had handed me a five-gallon bucket of water," Paulsen recalls today.
Books saved my life.
First reading them, then writing them . . ."
If you haven't had a chance to read Gary Paulsen's books, you are in for a rare treat. His characters face adversity and disappointment but use their wits and not only survive but triumph. The journeys will engage you and leave you wanting to read more.
Try some of these titles at your local library:

18-foot python caught in the Florida Everglades could set a new record. The second 18-foot python caught in the past year could be a record. According to Fox News on Feb. 5, last year a snake collector caught an 18 feet, 8-inch monster.
Bobby Hill, a python control agent for the South Florida Water Management District, bagged the giant snake Tuesday, the Miami Herald reports.
The 18-foot python was found on top of a levee about five miles north of Tamiami Trail. It is not uncommon fro reptiles to sun themselves on the rocks on top of the levees during the winter months. Some of the largest snakes have been found around these waterways in Florida.
This 18-foot python will be sent to the University of South Florida to be analyzed. These snakes have been shown to eat all types of wildlife present in the Everglades when autopsied.
The 18-foot python caught is just the latest in a string of huge animals that were likely once kept as pets. A wild Burmese python can grow to over 20 feet in length.
What do you think about the 18-foot python story? Please drop in your comments below.
