WebCenter 10g 10.1.3.3 Certified with E-Business Suite Release 12
By Steven Chan - EBS-Oracle on May 15, 2008
My colleagues over at the Fusion Middleware Best Practices Center recently posted a Developer Preview of an Oracle By Example tutorial for using WebCenter 10g with the E-Business Suite; this was a subset of our unpublished official documentation. The preview period is over at last: I'm pleased to announce that WebCenter 10g 10.1.3.3 is now officially certified and supported for use with E-Business Suite Release 12.
Integrating Standalone Websites With Apps 12
Oracle WebCenter is a suite of development tools that can be used to build web-based applications using the latest technologies such as SOA, JSR-168, and WSRP. The Oracle WebCenter Framework allows you integrate the following E-Business Suite Release 12 portlets into a custom web-based application:
- Applications Navigator (menu of E-Business Suite functions)
- Applications Worklist (showing Workflow notifications)
- Applications Favorites (for bookmarking specific Apps functions)
What's Notable About This Certification?
This certification is a bit of a departure from our usual technology stack certifications for the E-Business Suite. Our typical certification involves, say, upgrading your E-Business Suite environment to the latest new database, or integrating it with an external component like Single Sign-On.
This new certification documents a step-by-step process for building and deploying a WebCenter application using the Oracle Applications Framework WSRP producer. You can build an Applications Development Framework (ADF) application in the Oracle JDeveloper integrated development environment and deploy the application to your end-users via Oracle WebCenter.
Our newly-documented procedure supports E-Business Suite environments that have been integrated with Oracle Single Sign-On (SSO), as well as steps for E-Business Suite configuration and the migration of Oracle Internet Directory (OID) policies. It also includes detailed steps for deploying the ADF application to a WebCenter OC4J instance and running the application there.

College Hockey:Benning OT goal lifts Curry to ECAC Northeast championship win over Wentworth
Dawson stops 35
MILTON, Mass. — In a way, Saturday's ECAC Northeast championship game was a microcosm of Curry's season.
Each featured a bevy of early obstacles; the Colonels hit the toughest part of their schedule with a rash of injuries and lost five of six games in late December and early January to some of the nation's top teams.
Saturday against Wentworth, Curry was forced to kill off a host of early penalties and found itself down, 1-0, thanks to a short-handed goal by Skylur Jameson.
However, as they rallied to capture the league title during the regular season, Curry did the same Saturday to emerge with a 2-1 win when Payden Benning tipped in John William's initial shot at 14:14 in overtime to give the Colonels their second conference title in as many years at Max Ulin Arena in Milton, Mass.
"It happened so fast," said Benning, who scored the Colonels other goal while shorthanded. "One of our guys just threw it on net, and I delayed a little bit waiting for an open spot and just slipped through."
The goal came just under a minute after Curry coach Rob Davies called a timeout.
"[Wentworth] had their number one line out," Davies said. "They were probably gassed, but they can make a play and end the game. I'll be sorry if it didn't go well and I didn't use the timeout."
As the overtime period dragged on, Davies said he reminded his players to stick to the basics.
"I think you can improve your odds if you just go back to the keys of the game," he said.
Each side began to show fatigue during the extra period, as both teams generated several odd man rushes throughout the period.
"You could definitely tell both teams were getting tired by the overtime," Benning said. "We tried not to give them anything, and we knew if we didn't, we could get one eventually."
A wild opening period featured 10 penalties, seven of them against Curry, and a brief three-on-three situation following a roughing call on the Colonels' Steven Mohler at 17:09.
Curry returned to full strength following the conclusion of Mohler's penalty and went on the power play thanks to Patrick Rice, who was still serving the tail end of a five minute facemasking major.
Just seconds after Dawson denied Cameron Gibson on a short-handed breakaway, Jameson picked up the loose puck near center ice and cruised down the slot, outracing a trailing Colonels defender and beating the sophomore at 19:30.
The second period opened with Curry generating a flurry of activity around Azzano, but the freshman was up to the task, sliding around the net to thwart several scoring chances.
Curry's attack was stalled when Connor Hendry was slapped with a five minute major for a hit to the head. Hendry also received a game misconduct on the play, leaving the Colonels minus their third line center for the duration of the game at 5:25.
Just as Wentworth did earlier, Curry struck while short-handed. Benning took a Joshua Pineiro pass and motored down ice in similar fashion to Jameson, beating Azzano to tie it at 7:28.
"I was actually going for a change and someone hit me with a pass," Benning said. "I think the goalie was thinking I was going to pass it, so it opened up the one side for me."
The Leopards couldn't take advantage of a brief five-on-three power play to start the third. Back at even strength, Curry's Michael Curran split two WIT defenders, taking a pass and driving to the net. His progress was impeded by Kyle Richardson, who in the process of forcing Curran to the outside was whistled for hooking.
Wentworth once again mustered a short-handed rush, as Rice drove towards the Curry net just 18 seconds into the penalty kill, but was denied by Dawson.
The Leopards had a goal waved off at the nine-minute mark, then weathered a volley of Colonels shots in the waning minutes.
With a horde of traffic in front of the net, Ryan Warsofsky took a pass alone just inside the blue line and launched a shot that dinged off the right post and fell away from the net.
Azzano's spectacular diving save denied Curry a chance to take the lead in the final minute. The freshman reached up and snagged an Ian DeLong shot from the left faceoff circle, falling straight on his back as he did.
"He had a great game," WIT coach R.J. Tolan said of Azzano, who recorded 61 saves on the night, second most in program history.
In the end, it wasn't enough.
"I've been coaching long enough that you're ecstatic and happy for you guys," Davies said. "But I feel bad for Wentworth and especially Chris. It's sad that someone had to lose."
"Next year is a long way away," Tolan said.
Dawson finished with 35 saves for Curry, who will wait to find out their opponent in the NCAA tournament, which will be announced on Monday.
"Around Christmas, we had a lot of injuries and a lot of tough games," Benning said. "But I think it really helped us come together as a team."
MASCAC Championship
Fitchburg State 6, Salem State 5. (OT)
Saturday's other championship game went to overtime, as the fourth-seeded Falcons rallied from two goals down late in the third period to capture the MASCAC title at Rockett Arena in Salem, Mass. Thomas McAleer scored the game-winner for Fitchburg, who was coming off a double overtime win against Massachusetts-Dartmouth in Thursday's semifinal game.
The Vikings roared back from an early deficit with three second period goals, capped off with Mike Genovese's strike at 19:43 to give them a 4-3 lead in a rematch of last year's championship, which saw Salem knock off top-seeded Fitchburg in overtime.

What is Laserlipolysis?
SmartLipo® is a novel technique developed in the U.S., designed especially to remove excess fatty tissue through the selective interaction of laser beam with adipose cells.The result is the breakdown of cell membranes and removal of fat content, either naturally or through a low negative pressure suction.
This is one of the most popular cosmetic treatment for laser liposuction; the non -invasive "liposuction light" is the answer for those who want to remove any undesirable accumulation of fat in the body.
The FDA (Food & Drugs Administration) of the United States recognized the Laser Liposuction as a useful technique to model the body of those who have localized fat difficult to remove by other methods.
The brand new procedure removes fat deposits in areas where it is difficult to reduce through diet and exercise. It is a minimally invasive procedure with which adipocytes are destroyed without damaging other tissues.
Laser assisted liposuction or laser liposuction is designed to combat the visible effects of lipodystrophy, an uneven distribution of body fat. Laser liposuction is the result of an increased demand for aesthetic surgical applications prompted that ensure a good outcome for the patient, reduction of risk and simplification of the task of the physician.
As more women and men want to look and feel better, laser liposuction continues to grow in popularity, making liposuction the most popular cosmetic surgery performed today. Laserlipolysis or laser liposuction is the first and only laser-assisted lipolysis system to offer a revolutionary and minimally invasive procedure for fat removal. The use of a high power laser, Laser SYNUS is a procedure with less downtime and side effects than traditional liposuction.
How does Laser Lipolysis or laser liposuction work?
After local anesthesia is inserted into fatty tissue just beneath the skin a small tube with a fiber laser is used, it is moved forward and backward while the laser energy goes directly into the fat cells and disintegrates them, facilitating drainage. The laser beam is transmitted through an optical fiber that is 300 microns in diameter. Diluted grease is extracted through a 3mm tube without causing more damage to the area, leaving skin virtually unmarked.
The heat produced destroys the walls of the fat cells and liquefies fat within them, while cauterizing blood vessels, preventing bleeding and hematoma. Depending on the areas being treated the procedure may last between 20 minutes and two hours.
The laser liposuction is used in: arms, knees, chin, hips, abdomen and flanks. However, this treatment is not for everyone. The ideal patient is thin and is in shape, and just needs to get rid of stubborn and localized fat. It is not recommended, or used in cases of overweight patients.
The procedure results in less bleeding, swelling, bruising and provides a faster recovery than with conventional methods of liposuction since the laser enables the small blood vessels to immediately coagulate upon contact.
Patients only need to wear the belt two to four weeks instead of 6-12 weeks and can return to work in a couple of days.
What kind of laser is used?
Laser Jobs SYNUS Novadiode 30
Belletza Medical Spa uses the he Novadiode Synus 30. It is a diode laser with a wavelength of 980 nm; and hand piece adjustable focus spots 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 mm in diameter. It is considered one of the best in the world, and meets a multitude of aesthetic and dermatological functions. There is no other in the city, and very few in the country. It has a laser guide beam, intensity red light, variable surgical fibers 400 and 600 microns thick and a fiber bridge for use with a hand piece. Optical fiber passes through the liposuction tube which is connected to a vacuum aspiration.
Its characteristic, the laser wavelength Synus Novadiode 30 retracts offering a dermal collagen skin aging solution, flattening of keloids, and hypertrophic scars and stretch tissue recovery.
Since 1974 when liposuction was born in Italy, thousands of patients worldwide have undergone procedures such as the aspiration syringe, dry and wet liposuction, internal ultrasound, external ultrasound, superficial liposuction, infusion and suction pumps, among others. However, scientific studies have reflected clear evidence of the disadvantages of these procedures these include: the breaking of the veins found in the fatty tissue, which generates a considerable loss of blood; subcutaneous holes that are hard to fill; and bruising and fibrosis which often never disappears.
Given these risks and post-operative discomfort, cosmetic surgery has implemented a new way to remove excess fat and shape the figure of men and women, through the technique of laser liposuction, a procedure performed for laser liposculpture, that through Novadiode Synus Laser system 30, breaks the cell membranes of adipose transforming it into an oily substance easily absorbed or extraction.
The heating that occurs in the fat cells causes physicochemical phenomenon known as liquefaction, which produces an oily substance absorbed by the body it is then remove by direct extraction by vacuum aspiration or syringes. If left in the body this emulsion is released into the bloodstream and then the liver metabolizes it like any other fat.
The treatment may be outpatient or if the extraction is large it can be a short hospitalization. The technique is refined so as to significantly reduce postoperative discomfort, bruising, swelling in the treated areas, and other common symptoms associated with other surgical body contouring methods.
Collagen shrinkage and reorganization of the dermis are other results generated by this laser, these contribute to proper retraction of the tissue. Because the Laser Synus Novadiode 30 allows cooling time of the tissues it eliminates possible burns which may arise with other computer. Tissue trauma is also reduced making residual fibrosis less likely.
Scars are from 1 mm to 3 mm in diameter, and the procedure can be performed under any anesthesia, preferably local, regional (epidural) neuroleptoanalgesia or general.
The body typically improves day by day and the results are stabilized within 20-30 days. The method allows patients to quickly resume a normal social life.
The results are permanent, resulting in a flattering figure as long as you follow medical recommendations. This technique offers distinct advantages such as fewer traumas, possibility of a less invasive procedure, reducing recovery time and postoperative effects and less blood loss.
The result is dramatic, immediate, and continuous improvement in the following months.

Latest News on Angola from our Journalism Under Fire Tumblr
- In September 2011, VOA correspondent Alexandre Neto, along with journalists from other broadcasting networks, was attacked by security forces during a protest in Luanda, Angola's Independence Square. He was knocked down and his personal belongings were stolen.
- On March 3, 2011 an Angolan court convicted a contract reporter for VOA's Portuguese to Africa Service of libel and defamation. The journalist, Armando Chicoca, was found guilty for reporting that an employee of the provincial court of Namibe had made allegations of improper conduct against the presiding judge of the court. Immediately following his conviction, Chicoca was sentenced to one year in jail. Lawyers for Chicoca have filed an appeal.
- VOA stringer in Cabinda, Jose Manuel Gimbi, was threatened and harassed for his reporting by both the government's security forces and the separatist rebels. On December 13, 2009, agents of the government's Rapid Intervention Police detained Gimbi for 24 hours. A man identifying himself as a member of the rebel movement telephoned the Portuguese Service asking for Gimbi's whereabouts and threatening to "take care" of him.
- VOA stringer Jose Manuel was arrested in Cabinda and threatened physically by security forces in 2006 after he reported on protests against the new Catholic Bishop. Manuel was detained for interrogation, and his equipment was confiscated.

Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. and Brian Vera will throw fists for a second time on March 1 at the Alamodome in San Antonio, Texas.
In their original bout in September, the 27-year-old Chavez (47-1-1-1, 32 KOs) won a controversial unanimous decision over the 32-year-old Vera (23-7, 14 KOs).
Chavez was overweight and listless and many onlookers felt Vera deserved to triumph on the cards.
Born into wealth, Chavez has been pinched juicing, arrested driving drunk, and suspended for a positive marijuana test over the past four years.
Despite possessing a diligence comparable to Jeffrey Lebowki's, "The Son of the Legend" is blessed with cement fists and a granite chin.
Although Vera is tough and brimming with testicular fortitude, it's hard to envision that Chavez will have another substandard performance versus a journeyman pugilist.
Accordingly, expect Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. to rebound and knock Brian Vera onto Queer Street roughly three weeks from this evening.

Top level intermodule profiledbootstrap, for people with too much free time.

Cedar Dog, the Denver-based Doggone Green Crusader and author of Eco-Solutions for a Pet's Daily Life wants to know if this is a new indicator. Are pet parents keeping their animals despite economic hardships. It has been reported for nearly four years that when family members lose their job(s) many people can no longer afford to keep their pets. Mortgage problems that began in 2007 had tragic results for pets. The number of abandoned animals continued to climb as foreclosure rates increased. When home sales fell, fewer and fewer new homeowners came into the market, which meant less people were adopting pets. Shelters struggled to keep up with caring for extra animals, particularly cats. Could this trend be reversing? If so, this is incredible news for pets and their people. Could this be a move toward greater sustainability?
As of this writing the new statistics surfaced in October 2110 via PetPoint, an animal data management system. The company's owner says that new data collected from nearly 900 animal welfare organizations in the U.S. shows "cat surrenders were down by 5 percent and the number of dogs was down 9 percent. Could it be that people are keeping their animals despite economic hardships?
Christa Chadwick, director of North American Shelter Outreach for PetHealth, Inc. was quoted in PET AGE magazine as saying, "the number of cats and dogs adopted from shelters increased while euthanasia decreased." Chadwick says that the drop in owner surrenders shows that "families value the emotional support a cat or dog provides, especially during difficult economic times."
Today's pets are totally dependant on their people for survival, and two-leggeds depend on them for companionship, unconditional love, and acceptance. They are members of our family. Are Colorado shelters and rescues seeing a reversal? Stay tuned as we investigate.
Read the outcomes reported by PetPoint and printed in the February 2011 issue of PET AGE magazine published monthly and on their online site by H.H. Backer Associates, Inc.
- In October 2010, a total of 71,150 cats left AWOs, a decline of 8% vs. October 2009
- 28,773 were adopted, an increase of 6% over 2009.
- Euthanisations totaled 35,534, a decline of 19% vs. October last year.
- Transfers of cats out of reporting AWOs to other organizations totaled 3,390, an increase of 14%.
- 1,437 cats were returned to their owners, an increase of 1% to October 2009.
- A total of 2,016 cats died (excluding euthanisations) while in AWOs during October 2010, a decline of 6% from 2009.
- 63,360 dogs left AWOs during October, a 6% decrease to October 2009.
- Adoptions increased 5% to 30,389.
- Euthanisations declined 23% to 18,343.
- Transfers of dogs from reporting AWOs to other organizations increased 1% to 5,732.
- Dogs returned to owners totaled 8,158, an increase of 1%.
- The number of dogs that died while in shelters totaled 738 (excluding euthanisations), an increase of 15% over 2009.

The first image from the N.W.A. biopic, "Straight Outta Compton," has now had the first image released of the cast and also has a release date. On June 18, 2014, the Huffington Post showed the image that portrayed the actors in the cast and their old-school, real-life counterparts, and it's incredibly awesome.
"Straight Outta Compton" will officially hit theaters on Aug.14, 2015, and it is set in Compton (obviously) and back in the mid-'80s. The Universal film tells the story of the epic and masterful rap group simply known as the N.W.A.
The image shows Ice Cube, director F. Gary Gray, and Dr. Dre standing in the back row. The front row shows Corey Hawkins (Dr. Dre), Jason Mitchell (Eazy-E), and O'Shea Jackon Jr. (Ice Cube).
It was tweeted by Ice Cube with the caption of:
"Finally found the cast for the NWA movie. Me, Gary Gray, Dre w/ Cube, Eazy & Dre #StraightOuttaCompton coming 8/14/15"
Ice Cube and Dr. Dre have joined onto the film as producers since they are, of course, original members of the N.W.A. They are joined as producers by Matt Alvarez and Tomica Woods-Wright, who is the widow of Eazy-E, another original N.W.A. member.
"Straight Outta Compton" tells the story of the fantastic young men who revolutionized the world of music and pop culture forever. Not only was their music brash and hard, but it was truthful and brutally honest about life in the hood.
"Straight Outta Compton" stars Corey Hawkins, O'Shea Jackson Jr., and Jason Mitchell. It will officially hit theaters on Aug. 14, 2015.

Today U.S. Coast Guard Sector Charleston said farewell to the 45-year-old cutter Gallatin and formally transferred it to the Nigerian Navy.
A small crew from the Nigerian Navy has been in Charleston for some time now involved in training operations.
The cutter Gallatin has had an illustrious career on the Eastern Seaboard responding to natural disasters, search and rescue operations, and participating in numerous illegal drug seizures.
In 1994, Gallatin participated in the massive Operation Able Vigil where some 27,000 Cuban migrants were intercepted before reaching U.S. soil and repatriated to either their home country, or another country participating in the operation.
Gallatin's replacement vessel will be the U.S.C.G.C. Hamilton, a new generation of high endurance cutters designed to operate with fewer crew members.
Hamilton will be the first of its kind to navigate along the East Coast. Three of the next generation vessels are already operating in Pacific.
Typically, decommissioned Coast Guard and Navy vessels are sent to The Philippines or Guam.
Examiner's Note: Just a few weeks ago, there was a "shortfall" in the Nigerian government of $20 billion. Today the U.S. government transfers an aging cutter to one of the "largest navies on the African continent." Nowhere in local press releases was it mentioned that the Nigerian Navy purchased Gallatin.

PITTSBURGH, Pa. (Ivanhoe Newswire) – As many as 18 million Americans suffer from sleep apnea. It causes them to repeatedly stop breathing during sleep, leading to daytime fatigue and an increased risk of heart attack, stroke, and high blood pressure. Now, help is on the way.
Every night for five years, Kathy Gaberson donned a facemask — connected to hoses and compressed air. This continuous positive airway pressure machine, or CPAP, was the best treatment available for Gaberson's sleep apnea, which had been steadily wrecking her health.
"I was driving my car locally and stopped at a stop sign and fell asleep at the stop sign," Gaberson told Ivanhoe.
Dr. Ryan Soose is studying a new implantable device, the Inspire upper airway stimulation therapy.
"The device itself is a pacemaker-like device that is placed just under the skin of the right upper chest," Ryan Soose, MD, Director, University of Pittsburgh Medical Center Division of Sleep Surgery, told Ivanhoe.
The Inspire is connected to an electrode that stimulates the nerve of the tongue, preventing the narrowing of the throat.
"The patient has a remote control to turn it on and off when they want to use it," Dr. Soose said.
Gaberson felt a slight tingling in her throat when the device turned on, but said the feeling didn't keep her from getting great sleep for the first time in years.
"I woke up in the morning refreshed," Gaberson explained.
A study from the New England Journal of Medicine reports that two-thirds of the patients using the upper airway stimulation device had control of their sleep apnea, meaning less daytime sleepiness, improvements in snoring, and better quality of life.
The batteries can last about five to ten years, and there is a simple procedure to replace them when they do run out. MORE.

How To Be Sick
Thursday, February 03, 2011
Last week I came down with the intense cold that is flowing through our community. It sucked. Of course, when does being sick not suck? However, my illness did not prove to be a total loss, because I was able to learn something in the process.
In the more recent past, sickness has not slowed me down until I'm really, really sick. For example, back in the winter of 2008, I started getting some sort of cold or flu. Instead of taking to my bed and guzzling tea and Airborne, I went to the gym. And not only did I do my usual hour on the elliptical, but I followed that up by an hour of step class. Smart? Not so much. But I didn't stop there. Feeling even worse, I stubbornly forced myself to keep to my daily routine. I substitute taught in a local school. I met a friend for coffee.
By the time I went home that evening, I felt ten times worse than I had in the morning. I was reduced to a shivering, feverish, congested, achy mess. I couldn't bring myself to get up off the couch once I finally let myself lay down. I couldn't sleep either. It was bad. And my recovery lasted weeks because as soon as I felt slightly better, I took to the gym again.
This past week, I did better. At first I wasn't sure if I was getting sick (although I had my suspicions), so I kept up with my routine. I Zumba-ed, went to the women's group at my church last Thursday morning, and went out to lunch with a couple of friends. But it didn't take too long to realize that my suspicions had become reality, so I immediately gave myself up to the couch. I drank healing teas, took Airborne and DayQuil and NyQuil and let myself rest.
Did it suck? Yes. Plus I had to fend off my brain's urgings to get up and do something with myself already. But I forced myself to couch-dwell for all of Friday and Saturday, following that up with a laid back Sunday and Monday. And guess what? This resting thing works. Although I'm still dealing with a lingering cough and runny nose, I otherwise feel completely healed. No weeks of lingering illness for me this time around!
You might be wondering why I devoted a whole post to this topic. I know that it's not rocket science -- when you're sick, obviously you should take care of yourself. But I've never practiced this before. I suppose that I never believed that doing nothing (which is, admittedly, boring -- how much Lego Indiana Jones can a girl play?) is a must-have tool in your illness-fighting toolbox. But now I believe in the power of taking a few sick days. I am astounded at how the body can heal itself from these nasty wintertime bugs with the help of dedicated rest. Amazing!
How do you take care of yourself when you get sick? Do you have any surefire remedies?

I've learned that it's not a bad thing to admit you need rest. Everyone brags on how they kept going. Thanks for infecting everyone else!
Another thing people brag about is how LITTLE sleep they get, 4 or 5 hours. Not me. I can't exist on that little. I must get 8 minimum or I get migraines and then I get the sleep I should have gotten in the first place. I'm proud of the fact that I need 9-10 hours each and every night. That's why it's dark.
I'm glad you are feeling better!
I love your background on your page too!

I used to think it was my family: we are not weak! We do not need rest! We just need to tough it out. My father tried this with diabetes....didnt quite work. He has to concede to the fact that his pancreas wasnt working. But I see it all around me too! Maybe it is a western thing? Or a cultural thing? Not sure....

Thanks for your thoughts! Isn't it weird that resting should prove so hard? I wonder if this is an American/western thing...

I do this too. How is sitting going to help me? I need to get up already! Etc....
Admittedly, I rarely get sick. When I do, it comes down like the hammer of god. I lost my voice completely once, and I still went to work. How stupid is that? I joked that I couldnt call in sick because I lost my voice so I went in! I still struggle with the "Get better by resting" mentality. Unless I am in physical pain (and I know that from the one and only flu I got in 2003!) then I just wont quit. Im trying to fix that.

The writer Arthur C. Clarke once observed: "Sometimes I think we're alone in the Universe, and sometimes I think we're not. In either case the idea is quite staggering."
Today scientists came a bit closer to answering where the balance of probability lies, after showing that one in five sun-like stars, which make up about 5 per cent of all the stars in the galaxy, is host to a planet suitable for life.
The result, from Nasa's Kepler space telescope, suggests that Earth-sized planets that are the right distance from their star to have liquid water at their surface are

In 1978 Airline Deregulation Act was passed by Congress, during President Carter's one and only term. President Carter embraced deregulation as a means of stimulating economic growth.
The results of that change are mixed to say the least.
Deregulation opened the way for such carriers as People Express(now defunct) and JetBlue, and allowed low-cost Southwest Airlines — which had up until then operated only within Texas, outside of CAB's reach — to expand nationwide.
Airlines were forced to compete on price and allowed to develop new routes, a move that saved consumers millions and paved the way for the rise of low-cost, no-frills carriers.
While consumers benefited when airline fares went down initially, that race to the bottom put some Airlines out of business, While that is what a free market is all about, the consequences were not necessarily a good thing.
This was taken a step further years later as airlines often merged with their rivals reducing the competition for the consumer and the initial benefit of lower fares.
This continues today as we have in essence an oligopoly.
While airline fares haven't risen at the rate they did prior to regulation, the price that the consumer is paying are annoying add-ons, such as fees for checked bags and in some cases reserving a seat.
But this race to the bottom has occurred in other ways. For example there are fewer planes in an airline's fleet and those aircraft have narrower seats and reduced legroom, making air travel less comfortable.
The other issue that no Airline likes to talk about is some are subcontracting the servicing of their airplanes to a third party, sometime even in another country to save money.
While the airline safety record hasn't been visibly affected in so far as an increase in airline crashes, that is not to attribute that to the outsourcing the plane maintenance, but rather more sophisticated computer technology on board the aircraft as well as better built airplanes.
So while in post 9-11, air travel has become onerous, due to the stringent and length security clearance, that aggravation, can't obviously blamed on the airlines.
That said, with fewer scheduled flights and uncomfortable seating, the whole flying experience in America, leaves a lot to be desired.
And that is where everyone loses in the long run.

"Bachelor" star Juan Pablo may have been a little overwhelmed on his first night as the "Bachelor" because of the many beautiful women he had to meet. One of those ladies was Lauren Higginson. Lauren made quite the impression on viewers, as people on Twitter were not surprised that she was sent home. But apparently, there is more to the story than what was shown on yesterday's episode. According to a new Wetpaint Entertainment report published on Jan. 6, "Bachelor" star Juan Pablo's date Lauren actually has a dramatic past.
Lauren may not have made it past yesterday's episode, but it sounds like she has a past that would have had the other ladies talking if she was continuing with the show. Apparently, she is ready for marriage, even though she was almost married once before. Her wedding was scheduled for Aug. 31 last year. Her ex-fiancé Dayton Rose broke things off just before the wedding.
Before planning the wedding to her ex, she graduated from the University of Central Oklahoma with a degree in Business Marketing in 2010. And she has supposedly been working hardcore as a Land and Mineral Coordinator at WestEnergy LLC. She has also been modeling swimsuits for MetroShoeWarehouse in Oklahoma.
But since Juan sent her home, it sounds like she will have to find her future husband elsewhere. What do you think of her past?

UIC Student-Athletes Sponsor a Family for Christmas
Dec. 21, 2012
CHICAGO – The Holidays are a time for giving and spending with family, which is exactly what representatives of the UIC Student-Athlete Advisory Committee (SAAC) did this past Thursday night (Dec. 22). Although it wasn't their immediate family, the SAAC members adopted one through the Salvation Army's Sponsor-a-Family for Christmas program.
The family they sponsored consisted of three siblings that had recently fallen on very hard times. Their mother had passed away in March of 2012 after being notified she had breast cancer and HLH just two months prior to her death. HLH is a rare life-threatening immunodeficiency, which causes inflammation in the brain and numerous neurological problems. Neither disease was spotted in time for treatment.
After the unforeseen passing, the oldest sibling Mary, aged 23, was left to care for her 17-year old sister Addie and 13-year old brother Dennis. Dennis requires extra attention as he has been diagnosed as autistic. The trio lives together and sometimes struggle to make ends meet.
"This has been a really tough year for us," said Mary. "It was hard to have any Christmas spirit."
So one can imagine her enjoyment when members of the UIC SAAC surprised her family with gifts at the local Salvation Army just five days before Christmas. The family received new clothes, electronics, movies, blankets, gift cards etc…
"I just really appreciate it," said a choked-up Mary as she began to speak of her mother.
The SAAC members raised more than $700 with most of the donations coming from UIC student-athletes, coaches and staff.
If you would like to make a donation to the Salvation Army please visit their website.

Environmental group plans to sue Saticoy recycling plant
Zeke Barlow
Ventura County Star
An environmental group has filed a notice of intent to sue a Saticoy metals recycling facility for what it alleges are violations of the Clean Water Act.
Wishtoyo Foundation's Ventura Coastkeeper program said it has done water quality tests and examined Standard Industries' own records and determined the scrap metal recycler has discharged polluted water into the Santa Clara River.
"Allowing Standard to continue its highly visible toxic discharge without a Clean Water Act enforcement action would send the wrong message to Ventura County businesses," Jason Weiner, Wishtoyo's staff director, said in a statement.
John Scheck, vice president of Standard, learned about the notice when a reporter told him.
"I feel they aren't correct and they are mistaken," he said. "We do run a clean operation and we take pride in it."
He declined to comment further until he speaks with his attorney.
Weiner said piles of old scrap metal at the facility are visible from the Highway 118 bridge over the Santa Clara River. He alleges they are partly responsible for the toxic metals, oil and grease that are ending up in the river after storms.

JWC TO MARY RUSSELL ; 12 May 1859; DOI: 10.1215/lt-18590512-JWC-MR-01; CL 35: 93-94
5 Cheyne Row Thursday [12 May 1859]
Dearest Mary
Had I been ever so well, I shouldn't have written till you wrote—just to bring it home to your business and bosom,1 how much easier it is to keep out of a long silence than to get out of it! (For you couldn't but know very well, my Dear, that you were owing me a long letter; in spite of your cool doubts as to whose turn it was!) Indeed I was very cross with you, till I heard that you had been ill with your stomach—and then I regretted that I had stood on my rights of woman2—when I could so easily have written on the voluntary principle.3 Especially as to answer your letter at once on receiving it was among things forbidden to me— My Dear for weeks I had been forbidden to write, or read, or talk, or think!! above all I was "on no account to think"! I "might knit" in my bed if I liked—but nothing else—besides swallowing tonics, wine, and "nourishing food" from morning till night and I might add from night till morning! And as I never had succeeded in learning to knit and my Doctor4 "couldn't teach me" (which he excessively regretted) I had just to resign myself to be an Idiot!—— So!— I have had a 'Dr' after all! Dr Russell will say, he had been right then in telling me, I "had never been very ill or I would have sent for a Dr"! But let me tell him first, why I sent for a Dr on the present occasion— In the first place my head was getting light which threatened to disable me from giving directions about myself—in the second place, there was need of somebody with authority who knew, to explain to Mr C that if care were not taken, I should die of sheer weakness! a thing which makes no show to inexperienced eyes—especially to eyes blinded with incessant contemplation of Frederick the Great!— So I sent for the nearest General Practioner5 (whom I knew to bow to—and had often been struck with the human, practical look of)—and he came and more than realized my most sanguine expectations—not only making the danger of my situation understood—so that I was delivered from petty worries, and noises, and all that, but helping me up with strength—in medecines, and especially by giving me to understand that if I did not make myself eat I would certainly die.— The violent illness which had preceded this state of weakness, I had treated he said "quite right" but "my audacity was not a thing he would recommend me to repeat"! During the three weeks that I saw him every day, and was allowed to see no one else, I indeed took quite a serious attachment to him! And as he finds me the very oddest patient he ever had he now sits with me half-an-hour instead of the official three minutes! Another thing—he is not unlike Dr Russell—certainly far liker him than any other medical man in London! But I am writing too long— I am in the drawing room now (after three weeks confinement to bed)—most part of the day at least—and may see one person daily—and I am improving in strength slowly but steadily— So soon as I am up to moving and the weather is warm I must go my Dr says to the seaside— God bless you
Affly /

I work for a small company that makes HUGE batches of salad dressing for supermarket salad bars. In addition, I work in the dairy department for a local supermarket. In ADDITION, I slang.
Keeps the bills paid and the children fed.
Love to all
i work for a nonprofit social service agency. i help poor folks get services they need for themselves and their families. i will never be rich but it's a nice way to make a living.
"Well strange is the story your eyes tell me
And quiet all the few words that you say
So come and hold my hand for you see I'd understand
And remember that the only time is now.."
I answer phones for the PBS station here... and between this and the last job I had, I haven't worked for a for-profit company in over a decade. No wonder I'm poor. But happy, so it is a fair trade.
im a substitute teacher . im actully posting this in class, today i'm teaching esl (english as a econd language) interesting work because i speak very little spanish.
Actually, that's how I make money. What I really do for a living is ride my motorcycle and listen to the Dead.
Well, after searching for years for a job I can actually feel good about, I went to school and became a nurse. I am now working nights as a charge nurse in a long term care center. I never wanted to quit my job touring, but having a child 14 years ago pretty much put a stop to that. In the same year, my daughter was born and Jerry was gone. Luckily she was wble to make it to a few shows in her stroller!
I'm a laborer with a contractor who specializes in ponds and pondless "water features", such as waterfalls and streams and things for backyards mostly. It pays the bills and here in california unemployment is quite high and I'm just thankful to have a job. I love being outdoors and I rarely miss a sunrise. It's also fun taking on a different a different task each day even if I am moving several cubic yards of dirt or lifting heavy rocks. I'm living proof that we "hippies" aint lazy! "We will get by, We will SURVIVE!"
izzie had nothing to do with it.

Disease Proof
Weight-loss drug Meridia increases heart attack and stroke risk
Meridia (Sibutramine) is an appetite suppressant, and is prescribed by physicians to help obese individuals lose weight. Meridia works by blocking the reuptake of certain neurotransmitters in the brain related to appetite. Meridia was shown to reduce food intake and body weight compared to placebo in several trials[1]. However there is no such thing as a drug without side effects.
Concerns regarding adverse cardiovascular events led to a large clinical trial in order to assess Meridia's safety In 2009, preliminary results from the trial prompted European health officials to withdraw the drug from the market. The final results were published in 2010 in the New England Journal of Medicine, and due to those results, the manufacturer stopped producing Meridia. [2]
The trial evaluated cardiovascular events in subjects assigned to either Meridia or placebo over approximately three years. The trial's 10,000 participants were overweight or obese individuals over age 55 with either cardiovascular disease, type 2 diabetes, or both. The average weight loss on Meridia was 9.5 lbs. Although the researchers found no increase in death rates among Meridia users, they did find a 28% increase in risk of heart attack, and a 36% increase in risk of stroke. [3]
Weight loss is beneficial for overall health, in part because it helps to reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease. So essentially, this drug had the exact opposite of its intended effect. Plus the weight loss in this trial was miniscule – 9.5 lbs. is inconsequential for someone who is obese. The Nutritarian diet-style has helped many people lose 50 lbs., 100 lbs., or more and keep it off. Plus healthy eating does not carry an increased risk of cardiovascular events – it only reduces risk.
The bottom line: there are no shortcuts to weight loss or to good health.

Dr Mike a Upenn doctor and probably a close contemporary of Dr F there {at Upenn med] was on Fox Phili TV this week and was actually chastising folks for taking this drug, claiming that its not nice to fool mother nature. I couldnt help but think that these folks werent getting this drug on their own it was being prescribed by medical doctors for them. What in the world were these doctors doing? Its frightening to me that the average doctor is so ready to hand these poisons out to their patients. I just dont trust doctors anymore and fear getting really ill and having to put my faith in one.
We simply couldnt depart your site before letting you know that we truly enjoyed the quality info you provide to your site visitors? Will be back again soon to check up on brand new stuff you publish!
Is it really necessary to use images like the one above? It objectifies the people in it and really makes the website seem uncouth. We know what fat people look like! In fact, a lot of people using this website probably are fat or once were fat! It drives me crazy that a website like this that usually promotes psychological and physical health would use images that objectify people's bodies like that.

The Library of Babel
by Jorge Luis Borges
The Library of Babel Death Quotes
How we cite our quotes: (Paragraph)
Quote #1
Now that my eyes can hardly make out what I myself have written, I am preparing to die, a few leagues from the hexagon where I was born. (2)
When your narrator is a man on his deathbed, you know mortality is going to be a theme in the story.
Quote #2
When I am dead, compassionate hands will throw me over the railing; my tomb will be the unfathomable air, my body will sink for ages, and will decay and dissolve in the wind engendered by my fall, which shall be infinite. (2)
Whoa, what a grave! Does this mean that there are bodies falling through the ventilation shafts all the time? Could you be sitting and reading a book in the Library while corpses fall past? Or are we just being a little morbid?
Quote #3
In order to grasp the distance that separates the human and the divine, one has only to compare these crude trembling symbols which my fallible hand scrawls on the cover of a book with the organic letters inside – neat, delicate, deep black, and inimitably symmetrical. (4)
The librarian's fallibility is a mark of his mortality. Contrast that with the perfection of the Library. One of these things is going to die, and the other will exist forever. Can you guess which is which?

Michelin Presents Wallpaper Wednesday: "Black and Yellow"
I've heard songs that mention turbo 'Vettes and little red Corvettes, but I've never heard a song that mentions a yellow Corvette. It would have been nice if Wiz Khalifa's song "Black and Yellow" was about a Corvette, but the lyrics actually signified his allegiance to the Pittsburgh Steelers, and the car in the "Black and Yellow" music video was a Dodge Challenger SRT8. Khalifa's "Black and Yellow" music video has 171 million views on YouTube, but maybe it would have already hit 200 million if it had featured a Corvette like the one above. OK, maybe not, but a 'Vette in the video would have been nice.

All I have is the deflated tire tube and information from everyone visible (and invisible in the voodoo shop) on Melée Island, having exhausted all conversations. I know about other things that are needed, but they're probably in the house, which I can't enter without giving the catapult operator the pretzels and whatever else to disuade him.

By Sara McKenna, Godalming, Surrey, UK
In this mini-symposium at the San Antonio Breast Cancer Symposium (SABCS) in December, three speakers addressed different aspects of the apparently increased risk of developing breast cancer that is associated with high breast tissue density, and also the clinical implications of this association.
Celine Vachon of the Mayo Clinic in Rochester first spoke of the genetics and epidemiology of breast tissue density. She observed that increased density was common, with 16-32% of women in general having more than 50% dense breast tissue, and that these women have a 3-5 fold increased risk of developing breast cancer compared to those with low or no breast density. Among women with breast cancer, up to one third are found in women with a density of over 50%.
Breast density decreases with age, with the greatest decline seen between ages 45-55. But Dr. Vachon also noted the protective value of fatty breast tissue in pre-menopausal women: the higher the amount of fatty breast tissue present in this group of women, the lower the overall density and risk of developing breast cancer.
As to why some women have more dense tissue that others, factors that seemed to be associated with higher density included pre-menopausal status, nulliparity, post-menopausal hormone use and alcohol intake. But Dr. Vachon pointed out that taken together, epidemiological risk factors account for only 20-30% of the variation in breast density in the general population. Genetics appeared to account for a higher percentage of the variance, with 30-60% of the variance attributed to inherited factors.
Norman Boyd of the Ontario Cancer Institute then looked at some of the clinical implications of the observed increased risk associated with high breast density.
With regard to breast cancer characteristics and clinical outcomes, he observed that those with 75% breast density had a 5-fold difference in risk compared to those with less than 10% density, and that extensive density was associated with an overall increased risk of developing both ER+ and ER- tumours, and of all "non-obligate" precursors of invasive tumours such as DCIS and ADH. It was also associated with larger tumours and higher histological grade. However, the risk from death did not appear to be increased.
The implications for screening were clear in that mammography is less effective for women with dense breast tissue, who would benefit from alternative screening modalities such as MRI or US. Conversely, women with translucent breast tissue were at lower risk and could therefore consider less frequent screening than is currently standard.
Dr. Boyd also addressed the issue of breast cancer prevention trials and pointed out that unlike most other risk factors for breast cancer, breast density can be changed. He suggested that breast density could be used as a surrogate marker for risk in such trials, which would allow the identification of a group at very high risk of developing breast cancer who might benefit from e.g., tamoxifen therapy, which is known to reduce breast tissue density. But validating breast density as a surrogate marker for risk would take time.
Overall, Dr. Boyd also reminded us that correlation does not prove causation: the apparent higher risk conferred on women with dense breast tissue could simply be down to chance, and the fact that these cancers are often found at a later stage compared to screen-detected tumours.
In the final presentation of the mini-symposium, Thea Tlsty of the University of California, San Francisco looked at the biological basis of breast density and cancer risk. She and her team had examined specifically the relationship between a higher amount of fatty tissue in the breast and lower breast density – also mentioned by Dr. Vachon in her presentation – and had identified a protein, CD36, which appears to modulate fatty tissue in the breast.
Dr. Tlsty and her team carried out both in vitro and in vivo (mouse model) experiments, which appear to show that CD36 protein levels are repressed in all stromal cells within tumour tissues compared to normal adjacent tissue, and that much higher levels of CD36 are found in normal breast tissue overall. So, measuring CD36 levels and finding a way of increasing them as necessary to produce a higher level of fatty breast tissue, could lead potentially to a reduction in the risk of developing breast cancer.
My view
With reference to NBCC's goals to end breast cancer by January 1, 2020 (Breast Cancer Deadline 2020®), any practical clinical application of Dr. Tlsty's research seems unlikely to be ready by 2020. In the case of the overall increased risk that is associated with high density breast tissue, as discussed in this mini-symposium, even it could be proved beyond reasonable doubt that there is, in fact, a causal relationship between two, breast density is probably just one part of the jigsaw in any case.
Overall though, in looking at biological aspects of breast cancer risk, I think that Dr. Tlsty and her team's work seems particularly promising, in that by arriving at a clearer understanding of the biology of breast cancer and the environment in which it develops, new approaches to prevention and intervention may be identified – all of which speaks to the deadline goals, even if not the timing.

Calling for accountability from those who provide health care is generally a good thing. After all, if a third party – like the taxpayer – is footing the bill for that care, the third party should have some assurance that funds are being spent properly and effectively.
That's the idea behind the Affordable Care Act's hospital readmission penalties.
This legislation encourages hospitals to keep readmission rates low for quality purposes and because readmissions are costly. According to federal data, approximately 1 out of every 5 Medicare beneficiaries returns to the hospital within 30 days of their original visit. This costs taxpayers about $17 billion annually. (In 2012, total Medicare spending was $556 billion.)
So accountability is one way to help decrease costs, but like all rules that are made with good intentions, there are unintended consequences.
Hospitals in underserved and low-income communities are feeling those consequences. They argue that they shouldn't be held to the same standards as hospitals in wealthier areas.
I think their reasons have merit.
Hospitals that serve poor or nearly poor populations typically have clientele who are considerably less educated than those in higher-income communities. There may be language barriers, lack of transportation, no money for expensive drugs, poor diets, illiteracy and fewer resources for home care. So many things can go wrong once these patients leave the protective wing of the hospital.
There are multiple reasons patients return to hospitals within a month of discharge. Some are avoidable, some are not, and still more are just out of the control of health care providers, especially for those who serve low-income populations.
Most of the eight hospitals in California on the current penalty list are in low-income communities. The penalty for excessive readmissions is a 1 percent reduction in Medicare payments, but that money, if returned to the hospitals, could be used in constructive ways.
It could be used to hire more discharge and follow-up care nurses – especially those who are bilingual.
Nurses are largely responsible for discharging patients, a process that can be complicated, lengthy and time-consuming. It can also be fraught with errors, especially when transferring patients from one facility to another. More nurses with smaller workloads could mean fewer errors and omissions, and follow-up nurses could be dispatched into patients' homes to assess the environments and help patients secure the resources they need for good recoveries. There might even be money for those resources -- gas for the car; cab and bus fare; nutritious food; money for utility bills and other necessitates not covered by insurance.
Taking money away from hospitals that need more resources doesn't make sense.
What sort of post-hospitalization problems do you see in your hospital/area?
Does your workplace have successful strategies to reduce premature readmissions?
Tell us about them.

Should Readmission Penalties Apply Equally to All Hospitals?

Sweat Inequity
Cops in Chicago are trading doughnuts for dollars under the police department's new incentive plan that pays them $250 for passing a physical fitness test.
Cops in Chicago are trading doughnuts for dollars under the police department's new incentive plan that pays them $250 for passing a physical fitness test.
Some 3,000 of Chicago's 13,000 sworn officers took the voluntary test when it was offered last fall. About 2,700 of them passed and got the bonus. The goal isn't just to shake the longstanding image of big- bellied cops busting their blue britches. It's also to save on medical bills. "If we can show a fitter department, then hopefully we can lower our costs in health care," says Sergeant Robert Cargie, a department spokesman.
Police departments typically require cadets to pass a fitness test at the police academy, but not many require officers to stay in shape after that. Increasingly, departments are running fitness clinics or offering perks for keeping in shape, such as additional days off. Chicago's bonus program was part of an agreement between the department and the local police union. Passing scores vary for men and women according to age. A 40-year-old male, for example, must be able to do 28 sit-ups in a minute; bench press 79 percent of his body weight; run 1.5 miles in 15 minutes and 24 seconds, and reach 13.8 inches with his hands from a seated position.
But is $250 enough to inspire the most indolent cops to hit the gym? Union president Mark Donahue doubts it. What's more likely, in his view, is that officers who are already fit are the ones taking the test--and scoring some easy dough.

DENR clarifies tree cutting suspension
By:PAUL RILLORTA
Posted: 06-Jul-2012 / 3 years 51 weeks ago
BAGUIO CITY – the Department of Environment and Natural Resources, Cordillera Administrative Region (DENR-CAR) clarified Monday a previous order suspending the processing of all requests and applications for tree cutting permits here.
During regular council sessions July 2, Augusto Lagon, DENR Technical Director for Forest Management cited DENR memorandum dated April 3, 2012 issued by DENR Undersecretary Analiza Rebuelte-Teh which deferred and suspended the processing of all requests and applications for tree cutting permits nationwide until further notice.
This is in answer to queries from the council on tree cutting permits being issued by the DENR Regional office in the city.
Lagon however said another memorandum dated June 22, 2012 also from Undersecretary Teh clarified the first order stating this time that the suspension of the issuance for tree cutting permits cover only naturally grown trees within public forest and timberland.
The order also states the suspension does not cover naturally grown trees within private or titled property, planted trees within public forest and private lands and those covered by exemptions provided in Executive Order 23.
EO 23 or the moratorium issued by the President prohibits the Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR) from issuing or renewing tree cutting permits in all natural and residual forests nationwide, except for clearing of road right of way by the Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH), site preparation for tree plantations, silvicultural treatment and similar activities, provided that all logs derived from said cutting permits shall be turned over to the DENR for proper disposal.
It also allows the issuance of permits for tree cutting associated with cultural practices pursuant to the Indigenous Peoples Right Act (IPRA Law) subject to strict compliance with existing guidelines of the DENR.
The DENR was invited primarily to shed light on the status of permits issued to SM Development Corporation on the cutting, pruning and earthballing of trees at Luneta Hill.
Lagon clarified permits issued to SM are presently suspended as they are complying with the orders of the court '.
Lagon also said, 'the trees earthballed by the mall giant has indications of survival'.

Kananaskis Country is a signature Provincial Park.
The Government of Alberta, acting on a new Wilderness Areas Act, created this Park in 1967. A decade later, a variety of provincial parks west of the city of Calgary were merged and became collectively known as Kananaskis Country. K-Country consists of five provincial parks, four wildlife parks, one ecological reserve, and several recreation areas. It spans an area larger than 1400 sq.km: from prairie grasslands and rolling foothills, to mountain peaks and glaciers. Kananaskis Country is as diverse in its natural beauty as in its natural history. These photos tell some of its stories.
It was in 1968 when I first drove on the "Forestry Trunk Road" west of Calgary. The mountains and foothills-wilderness made a formidable and lasting impression on me. Their size, the rawness and ruggedness, the forces of nature . . . what awesome majesty! I wondered under whose stewardship they were, and subsequently became interested in the management and preservation issues of Kananaskis Country. This photo essay is a way of documenting the elements that make up that wilderness environment, although woefully limited in such a book as this. By no means do I propose to be an expert in natural history, but I am passionate about it. I try to learn as much as I can about the flora and fauna. Any errors are completely my own.
I have a passion for painting and photography. There is beauty everywhere. Infinite opportunities exist to put images on canvas or film. In education, photography is also a way of documenting the learning that takes place inside and outside the classroom. Documenting the changes in nature, in rural and urban landscapes, and in the environment in general, I consider as essential as photograpy as an Art form.

Mussels in white wine and garlic is a simply delicious and elegant dish. It's really easy to make. This is a fun dish to prepare and enjoy with friends while entertaining. Serve it as a main dish with noodles, or as an appetizer.
When you want to live it up, but your budget won't allow lobster and champagne, go for some yummy mussels in white wine. Locally, we can find fresh mussels, $5.99 for two pounds at Stauffers of Kissel Hill.
Sop up the lovely broth with some fresh french bread. The broth is so delicious, that you may want to keep the excess as soup for the next day. Just add a little cream, and gently reheat.
Makes 4 to 6 servings
• 4 pounds live, fresh mussels
• 2 cups dry white wine
• 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
• 4 teaspoons jarred minced garlic
• 1 small onion, finely chopped
• 1 tomato, finely chopped
• ½ teaspoon salt
• Fresh ground black pepper to taste
• 1 cup fresh, finely chopped flat leaf parsley and/or cilantro
- lemon wedges
• Fresh, crusty french bread
1. Scrub the mussels, and pull off any stringy parts. This takes a while. Have your guests help.
2. Get out a large pot with a lid. Place the olive oil in the pot and turn the heat to medium high.
3. Cook the onion and garlic for 3 or 4 minutes, until the onion is transparent. This brings out the sweetness in the onion.
4. Add the white wine, salt, tomato and parsley and/or cilantro. Grind some black pepper over all. Bring to a boil.
5. Place the mussels in the broth. Cover the pot, and turn up the heat to high. Cook for 5 minutes, or until the mussel shells are open.
6. Stir. Serve in bowls with lemon wedges, over noodles or without any noodles. Keep the shells on the mussels. You can easily pull out each mussel with a fork. Serve with warm French bread and butter. Put an extra bowl on the table for empty mussel shells.

Motorcyclist dies after crashing into parked car in Santee
SANTEE, Calif. - A motorcyclist suspected of being drunk plowed his speeding ride into a parked car in Santee and was killed, a sheriff's sergeant said Saturday.
Witnesses reported seeing a motorcyclist riding at a high rate of speed around 5:45 p.m. Friday on northbound Carlton Hills Boulevard north of Mission Gorge Road, Sgt. Michelle McPhail said.
The rider was only identified as a man who was about 30 years old.
He hit a parked car, was ejected from the motorcycle, hit a telephone pole and landed back in the road, McPhail said. Deputies and emergency medical personnel responded to the crash and the rider was pronounced dead at the scene.
The man's motorcycle continued northbound on the road after the rider was ejected and became lodged underneath a parked vehicle, McPhail said.
A preliminary investigation suggests that alcohol was a factor in the crash, McPhail said.
