With the prices of most commercially available foods (which are, in many cases, of questionable nutritional value) skyrocketing, a multitude of Americans not only have turned to organic gardening as an alternative source of many wholesome edibles, but also supplement their homegrown diets with free-for-the-finding wild foods.
And, although most foragers have assumed right along that wild food—free of additives and genetically untampered with—is naturally wholesome, the increased public interest in wild food plants has created a demand for some hard facts on the nutritional quality of such edibles.
Having taught courses in foraging for some years, I've been challenged many times with the query, "How do you know this plant is nutritious?" In most cases, I could only quote the author of a book on wild foods as my source, who—often as not—referred to an earlier writer, who may well have based his statements on folklore.
This lack of solid data led me to work up a systematic collection of all available scientific research on the subject. I then compared each particular wild edible with the Recommended Daily Allowance (RDA) established by the National Academy of Sciences' Food and Nutrition Board, which represents the absolute minimum requirement for nutrients in normal, healthy people.
A typical male adult, for example, needs 5,000 I.U. (International Units) of vitamin A per day, and he can get much more than that in a scant half-cup of cooked dandelion greens! Or take that bane-of-the-farmer, amaranth: Just 10 ounces of the leaves or tips of this prolific plant can provide an adult's daily calcium needs, plus almost all the iron requirement for men and half that for women. A mere 3.5 ounces of the greens will meet the daily needs for vitamin A, thiamine, and ascorbic acid.
You see, then, that you can assure yourself of a well-balanced diet by combining produce from your garden with wild edibles in season. Beyond that you can freeze, dry, can, or pickle many of your surplus wildlings for out-of-season-use.
The blank spaces in the accompanying chart—"The Nutritional Composition of Wild Food Plants" —indicate that an edible has not yet been analyzed for those particular food elements. Some nutritional variation from the figures given can be expected with differences in climate, soil conditions, and time of harvest. Similarly, where "spp." is noted, it's an indication that more than one species in the genus is edible, so some differences can be expected among species. Usually, however, such variations are comparatively small and don't affect the food's overall nutritional quality. You'll also find a number of fruits, berries, and field crops included in the table which are actually cultivated varieties that can often be found in the wild.
CAUTION: The listing of a plant in this article doesn't necessarily mean that it Is edible under all circumstances. Readers should inform themselves fully (by cross-referencing with a good field guide) as to any wild food's safety before consuming it, since frequently a plant may be poisonous at one stage in its development and edible at another ... or—as with domestic rhubarb and potatoes—one part of the plant may be edible while other sections are poisonous.
In order to get some overview of the various nutrients covered in the list, I'd like to "spotlight" a sampling of plants and nutritional categories. Let's begin by discussing the foods that provide the most calories. Most folks have no trouble consuming enough starches, sugars, and fats for their energy needs (on the contrary, such elements are in oversupply in the average North American's diet), but—among the wild edibles—only nuts, seeds, tubers, and a few fruits provide such "energy to burn" in significant amounts. Most wild foods have less than a gram of fat per 100 grams and they're often low in carbohydrates as well, usually containing only several grams—which means you can fill up on many wildlings without putting on weight.
Most of us also get enough protein in our diets from meat, poultry, fish, and dairy products. However, if you're a vegetarian or want to supply part of your minimum daily need (50 grams of protein) from vegetable sources, the following plants will provide five or more grams of protein for each 100 grams (about 3 1/4 ounces) consumed:
Soybean 35.1Sunflower seed 24.0Butternut 23.7Black walnut 20.5Beechnut 19.4Wild rice 14.1Hickory nut 13.2Filbert 12.6Garlic 6.2Alfalfa 6.0Nettle 5.5Pawpaw 5.2Mugwort 5.2
Wild foods can also play an important role in satisfying your body's daily vitamin and mineral requirements. For example, the average man or woman needs a minimum of 800 to 1,200 milligrams (mg.) of calcium—the body's most abundant mineral—every day. Here's how a few wild plants stack up in comparison with milk (the most commonly mentioned calcium source) in milligrams per 100 grams of food:
Lamb's quarters 309Mexican tea 304Rape 252Mallow 249Galinsoga 245Soybean (dry) 226Dayflower 210Filbert 209Shepherd's purse 208Mint 194Dandelion 187Watercress 151Knotweed 150Water primrose 144Milk 118
Iron is usually obtained from meats, shellfish, and whole grains. Adult men need 10 mg. of this mineral daily, women 18 mg., and children 15 mg. Here's a sampling of wild foods and the amounts of iron they offer per 100 grams as compared to beef liver, one of the best "supermarket" sources:
Primrose-willow 12.7Mallow 12.7Soybean 8.5Water primrose 8.0Sunflower seed 7.1Galinsoga 7.1Butternut 6.8Black walnut 6.0Amaranth 5.6Curled dock 5.6Alfalfa 5.4Mexican tea 5.2Sheep sorrel 5.0Shepherd's purse 4.8Fame flower 4.8Beef liver 8.8
Liver and kidney are among the best "conventional" sources of vitamin A. Deep yellow and dark green vegetables supply carotene, which the body can convert into this important nutrient. Adult males, as we said above, need 5,000 I.U. of "A" daily, while females require 4,000 units. The following wildlings contain more than either of those I.U. requirements in a 100-gram serving:
Dandelion 14,000Dock 12,900Lamb's quarters 11,600Peppergrass 9,300Pokeweed 8,700Violet leaves 8,200Storksbill 7,000Nettle 6,500Mustard greens 5,800
Three of the B vitamins—thiamine, riboflavin, and niacin—are (in the "usual" diet) obtained from meat, milk, whole grains, and especially from the organ meats. But since adults require a daily minimum of only 1.25 mg. of thiamine, a "standard" serving of many wild foods can satisfy (or help fill) the need for this nutrient.
Sunflower seed 2.00Arrowhead 1.60Pecan 1.00Soybaen 0.66Filbert 0.46Wild rice 0.45Burdock 0.25Beef liver 8.80
In the past, some people (and I was one of them) were justifiably skeptical of unsupported allegations regarding the healthfulness of many well-publicized wild foods. But now that the scientific evidence for more than 80 plants is in (and included in the Wild Food Plants chart), there's no reason we shouldn't forage a large proportion of our meals. We'll eat better, stay healthier (just getting outdoors to find the plants is a good start!), and—best of all—we can watch our food budget shrink for a change!

A sentence hearing for a Rolla man found guilty of first-degree murder and armed criminal action in the fatal shooting of his girlfriend, will continue next month.
The hearing for Brent Curtis Schwertz, who was found guilty of the two charges by a jury in April in the death of Tracy Louise Weber, began June 10 and will continue Wednesday, July 10, after a request for a Sentencing After Revocation (SAR) report was made, according to the Pulaski County Circuit Clerk's Office.
The trial was moved to Pulaski County on a change of venue request.
Missouri state statute outlines the penalty for first-degree murder, a capital offense, as death or imprisonment for life without eligibility for probation or parole.
According to Missouri case.net, David Mills, Schwertz's legal counsel, filed a motion of mistrial and motion of acquittal in May, but no action has been taken on those motions, according to the circuit clerk's office.
The hearing is being presided over by Judge William E. Hickle.
Schwertz was arrested Feb. 11, 2010, shortly after Weber, 40, was shot in the chest at their home, located two miles south of Rolla in the 14000 block of County Road 5010.
Weber was a well-known hairstylist who worked at Studio K Hair Salon and Fashion Boutique in St. James. She died that night en route to a Springfield hospital as she was being air-evacuated from the scene.

SAN JOSE -- The Santa Clara County Office of Education was assessed nearly $200,000 in penalties for failing to pay payroll taxes on time for hundreds of school employees.
The Internal Revenue Service penalties cover pay periods from July 2010 through September 2013.
Although the employees work for various school districts in the county, from Palo Alto to Gilroy, their paychecks are handled by the County Office of Education, which acts as the intermediary between 27 of the county's 31 school districts and the Santa Clara County Treasurer, which serves in effect as the bank for school district funds.
Superintendent of Schools Xavier De La Torre, who is poised to be formally offered a job in Texas this week, did not return calls for comment. Micaela Ochoa, chief business officer for the County Office of Education, said that last year an employee who attended an IRS training class decided that the office needed to change how it reported certain payroll taxes. In September, the office amended quarterly tax returns for 11 pay periods dating back to mid-2010. Those filings alerted the IRS to taxes that were not paid on time, triggering fines. The office paid the penalties and is appealing them, Ochoa said.
Later, County Office of Education spokesman Ken Blackstone said that six employees took the training class -- in April 2011. The penalties relate to non-regular payments to employees. "It appears that for several years, the SCCOE has been filing the special payrolls in a manner not consistent with IRS regulations." It was not immediately clear why the County Office of Education took so long to change its tax-remittance practices.
"I have never heard of a government agency being late on its taxes," said Emily Harrison, Santa Clara County's acting finance agency director. "It's odd."
In San Mateo County, the office of education has not had to pay tax penalties, spokeswoman Nancy Magee said.
Even filing a day late can be costly. "Penalties start accruing from the day the taxes are owed," said Caroline Chen, an assistant clinical professor at Santa Clara University School of Law, and a former attorney for the IRS. "Just because you're ignorant of the mistake you made doesn't mean you're not going to be penalized for it."
While county treasurers take in schools' share of tax revenues and county controllers disburse them upon request, the treasurers and controllers do not control the budgets of school districts or county offices of education.
Now, Ochoa said, "We're doing payroll the new way."
The County Office of Education paid most of the penalties in December but paid the largest penalty, $174,091, in February, six weeks past the due date, while it filed an appeal.
Last week, the day after this newspaper inquired about the penalties, the office sent a letter notifying the school districts in Santa Clara County about the fines. "These penalties have been paid from the County Office's fund and there is no impact to the districts," read a letter by Nimrat Johal, director of the department handling those payments.
Funds to pay the penalties came from the County Office of Education's general fund, and the fines don't affect employees' paychecks.
The Santa Clara County Board of Education was briefed on the IRS penalties a few months ago, board President Leon Beauchman, said.

Residents seek end to fairgrounds gun shows
Coalition campaign "snowballed" in wake of Sandy Hook shooting
In the wake of the Sandy Hook school shooting in Connecticut, a coalition of Del Mar residents is taking a stand against gun shows hosted at the Del Mar Fairgrounds.
Their campaign started with a simple hand-scrawled sign, posted last month on Crest Road, that says "Stop Del Mar Gun Show and Sale." It lists the next show dates, coming up in March, and encourages people to show support by sending an email.
Rosanne Holliday, the sign's creator, said she has received nothing but encouragement since the poster went up in mid-December. A meeting is scheduled for Sunday, and about 50 people interested in getting involved are slated to attend.
"It kind of snowballed," she said of the cause.
Holliday, a former teacher of young children and a mother, said she was devastated after the Sandy Hook massacre, in which a 20-year-old man, Adam Lanza, fatally shot 26 people, mostly young children. Lanza was armed with an assault rifle and two handguns.
"The Sandy Hook shooting really hit me hard, as I'm sure it did everyone," she said. "For days I thought and read nothing else. Part of it was thinking about the grief of these parents and the terror the children must have experienced and the bravery of those teachers. It was so overwhelming."
Holliday was determined to do something, and she started close to home. Her goal was simple, she said.
"We want to end gun sales on public land here in Del Mar," she said. "Everyone needs to do what they can. There are a lot of ways to tackle this national issue. I'm kind of locally-minded, and I think I can do this little bit."
Holliday's focus may be local, but other concerned residents who have taken up the cause have already started discussing approaching Gov. Jerry Brown, said the 73-year-old Holliday.
Bud Emerson, a Del Mar resident and community activist, was one of the first to contact Holliday about the sign. Emerson is no stranger to the issue, having protested the fairgrounds gun shows in 2000.
"You wouldn't celebrate drug use or porn, would you?" he said of the gun show.
Emerson said the local group has already put together a draft petition against the gun show. Members are being encouraged to write letters to the City of Del Mar and the 22nd District Agricultural Association, the organization that runs the fairgrounds.
"I think we've just had it. People want to take a stand," Emerson said. "The headline is, 'Enough.' We're not saying you can't have your gun if you're a gun owner, but we don't want you celebrating gun culture in a public facility in our neighborhood."
The City of Del Mar has received two letters since the sign went up, staff said. While Deputy Mayor Lee Haydu and Councilman Don Mosier are expected to broach the topic with the fairgrounds, the city has not taken an official stance on the matter. Del Mar has no jurisdiction over events hosted by the fairgrounds, officials said.
"I think there will be a lot of pressure put on the council to take a stand on this," Holliday said.
Adam Day, president of the fair board, said Crossroads of the West has been managing the fairgrounds' gun shows for more than two decades. The organization holds five shows per year, providing a net profit of $324,000 to the fairgrounds, Day said.
"California has some of the most restrictive gun laws in the country," Day said. "The shows we host are fully licensed and in conformance with all applicable rules and regulations."
Day said as soon as the shooting occurred, he expected comment from the public, but that so far the board hasn't received anything. In previous years, local citizens like Emerson have protested the shows.
"If someone were to ask me to consider banning the shows, I would be looking for the correlation between these shows specifically and gun violence," he said.
Day said there is a significant undercover law enforcement present at the fairgrounds shows and that hosting gun shows on public property provides for more stringent enforcement than what you may see on private property.
"It's a legal business and, in some regards, has an enhanced impact on public safety by having them on public property," he said.
Holliday said she expects group members to speak at the next fair board meeting on Tuesday.

Cooper County Sheriff's Deputies were dispatched to the scene of an armed robbery on Wednesday night at approximately 10:24 p.m. Passions Video, Inc., located adjacent to the I-70 and Route B interchange on Old Five Drive, placed the call.
According to the Sheriff's Department, a single suspect demanded money from the attendant on duty after entering the business. A semi-automatic handgun was used and the suspect was no longer on the premises upon the arrival of law enforcement.
"The individual suspect we believe to be a black male – height-wise, probably 5-foot-3 to 5-foot-6," said Cooper County Sheriff Jerry Wolfe.
The suspect made away with a small amount of cash. The attendant was uninjured.
Cooper County Deputies are continuing their investigation.

Delicious Library is a very neat app. It is a bit unnecessary but it is really cool. You can use the iSight camera (or a bluetooth barcode scanner) to scan items into your library which it finds off Amazon. It then puts the item on your self, taking the image from Amazon, removing the background, and sizing it correctly. You can also search for items. Delicious Library also puts your iTunes items on their own shelf.
It is a great way to keep track of things you have. If you are wondering what movie to watch or what game to play, Delicious Library is a real help. Once in your library, you can see reviews of items and similar items. You can export the library to the web and a bunch more.
The application's scanning with the iSight works great. I've had very few problems with it. It would be cool if they made an iPhone app that used the same scanning technology on the go.
Delicious Library is a highly polished app. It not only works great, but is very cool.
Delicious Library is awesome! It's so unnecessary, but extremely enjoyable to use!
My biggest complaint however, and this is completely out of the developer's hands, is that there is very inconsistent product lookups for Australian DVDs, games, etc. When will Amazon open up an Australian wing? If every other major website can do it, why can't they?
Also, I was lucky enough to get the iPhone app before Apple pulled it off the store :-)
This runs like crap on my Core2 Mabook. I have about 250 books in my library and it slows and stutters when scrolling through them all. It now repeatedly crashes when I add more books.
I have since switched to Bookpedia, and though the barcode scanning works better in Delicious Library, everything else works better in Bookpedia.
mrtnmatt! I would love your serial if you are not going to use it. This thing is my dream app. email [email protected]
Very cool app and very nice interface. I dont really have much use for it though, Anyone want a serial number?
This is a rather nice program.
I use it now for a long while nd i'm quite satisfied.
The...pedias are on the same level but even more expensive. I must say even 40$ is too much for this.
Limited feature set and terrible performance. All eye-candy and no substance.
Get DVD/Game/CD/Bookpedia instead. While it's slightly annoying that those applications aren't bundled the *pedia software is simply much better in every way imaginable.
This is an amazing app - lets me and my family see who has bought what books, which helps us to not have duplicates everywhere. The ability to publish our libraries is really really useful, since we live in different cities.
I love the ability to just scan the barcode and nearly always get all of the correct information loaded into the computer (i'm Australian, and as yet it doesn't have an australian database, though most of our books are the same as the UK or US).
The ability for Australian DVD's would be an amazing adition though. At the moment it doesnt recognise any of my DVD's, thus forcing me to search for british or american versions and edit the data.
The only thing that could possibly make this application better would be the inclusion of comic book cataloguing. Other than that, I totally dig the update. Great improvement from v1.
@l2g , yes it's half price ($20) if you bought your 1.x license before december 2007. go to their site for details.

Port Staff Relocation May Be 'Game Changer' For Downtown Office Market
July 20, 2011 Leave a comment
Harbor Department Negotiates New Headquarters, Buys World Trade Center Parking Lot
by Sean Belk, Staff Writer
Negotiations are ongoing for the Port of Long Beach to relocate its near 400-member staff from its current location at the port to a new headquarters possibly somewhere in Downtown Long Beach. The move could be a "game changer" for the downtown office market, said real estate agents.
After a plan to build a new $295 million energy efficient, "green," nine-story complex on a 17-acre site near the current headquarters was scrapped by Mayor Bob Foster last year, vetoing the line item from the budget, port executive staff floated several different proposals.
In closed session during the July 11 harbor commission meeting, Port Executive Director Dick Steinke discussed with commissioners and other negotiating parties the potential lease or purchase of space at One World Trade Center or Golden Shore property, or the possibility of space at the Union Bank Building or the City National Bank Building.
According to a staff report, the port has already approved the purchase of the 5.6-acre One World Trade Center parking lot, which has 659 parking spaces behind the building at the southeast corner of Golden Avenue and West Broadway. The $8 million sale and $200,000 deposit was negotiated by Cassidy Turley BRE Commercial.

Hi there,
thanks to your tool my PS3 turned into an impressive Blu-ray/Mediaplayer. I especially appreciate the support for embedded fonts, which really comes in handy for Anime. I don't need my Xbox (XBMC) anymore.
Anways, what I'd like to ask is if it is possible to add ordered chapters support.
Let me explain:
From time to time later episodes of certain series only contain the episode itself+next episode preview without any opening or ending. In that case you usually have to download the OP and ED separately and put them in the same directory as the episode. Those files are then automatically rejoined to one big file when playing the episode on my PC.
I am not talking about simply queuing up a bunch files, since the next episode preview, part of the episode, comes after the ED.
Any chance of seeing that on my PS3 with PS3 Media Server?

Wednesday, Feb. 29 • 7 p.m. CT
College Park Center (7,000) • Arlington, Texas
RADIO: NewsRadio 1360 AM KKTX (Steven King)
LIVE AUDIO: GoIslanders.com LIVE STATS: UTAMavs.com
The Texas A&M - Corpus Christi men's basketball team continues its road swing with a Wednesday night contest at UT Arlington. The Islanders will be making their first trip to the recently opened College Park Center, which debuted at the beginning of February. Tipoff is slated for 7 p.m. Steven King will have the call on NewsRadio 1360 KKTX and GoIslanders.com starting at 6:45 p.m. with the Navy/Army Community Credit Union Pregame Show.
The Mavs have already clinched the Southland regular-season title, while the Islanders have been eliminated from contention in the conference tournament. UTA is yet to be defeated in league play, posting a 14-0 mark following its 79-70 win over Northwestern State on Saturday night. The Mavericks' only loss since Dec. 7 came in the Sears Bracketbusters at Weber State a week and a half ago.
A&M - Corpus Christi is coming off a decisive 74-41 loss at Stephen F. Austin. Chris Hawkins-Mast had a double-double with 15 points and 11 boards in the loss, his fourth double-double in the last 10 games.
• A&M – Corpus Christi placed five players in double figures for the first time this season when the starting five all had 10 points or more last week against UTSA. The last time the Islanders did that was against UTA on March 2, 2011.
• The Islanders also saw two freshmen post double-doubles in the same game, as Nate Maxey (10 points, 10 rebounds) and Johnathan Jordan (12 points, 10 assists) each posted their first career double-doubles in the contest. The last time two Islanders had double-doubles in the same game was last year against Bethune-Cookman (Demond Watt and Justin Reynolds).
• The 31 field goals for the Islanders on Wednesday was the most this season, eclipsing the previous high (26 vs. UTA) by five. It matched last year's season high, in the aforementioned March 2 game.
• In stark contrast, the Islanders emerged victorious at Central Michigan without having a single player finish in double figures in scoring. It is the first time in Islanders history that the team won without a double-digit scorer.
• Jordan's 10 dimes were the most since Terence Jones had 10 in that same UTA contest last year. It was one shy of the school record, set by Sennai Atsbeha in 2000. Jordan is three assists from the Islanders season record.
UT Arlington sits at 14-0 in conference play and 22-6 overall, as it has already clinched the conference regular-season title in its final year as a Southland member. Since starting the year 4-5, the Mavericks have gone 18-1, the only loss coming at the hands of Weber State in the Sears Bracketbusters.
LaMarcus Reed III leads the team with a 17.1 scoring average, as he has connected on over 40 percent of his threes this year. Bo Ingram has added 12.6 and Kevin Butler 10.7 to give the Mavs three players in double figures. Eight different Mavs average at least five points.
Stephen F. Austin used a strong defensive effort and an impressive inside attack to post a 74-41 victory over the Texas A&M – Corpus Christi men's basketball team on Saturday night. The Lumberjacks put four players in double figures, as Antonio Bostic, Desmond Haymonn and Taylor Smith led the way with 17 points each.
Jonathan King added 14 points and 10 boards, while Smith's 12 rebounds gave the Lumberjacks (17-11, 10-4 SLC) two players with double-doubles. Chris Hawkins-Mast led the way for the Islanders with a double-double of his own, scoring 15 points to go with 11 rebounds.
The Islanders hold a 7-5 edge over the Mavericks in the series between the two schools. In Corpus Christi, the Islanders have a 4-2 advantage, while the Mavericks have a 3-2 edge in Arlington. The Islanders also knocked off UTA in the opening round of the 2009 Southland Tournament, 79-72.
In the first game between the teams this year, the Mavericks jumped out to a 33-8 lead, then held off a vicious Islanders charge for a 77-73 victory. Kennon Dvorak had a career-high 15 points and Terence Jones had 17 in a losing effort in the contest.
The Islanders placed five players in double figures against UTSA on Wednesday, the first time the team has done that since March 2 of last year. Terence Jones (26) led the way, but all five starters had 10-plus points in a losing effort. Each of the five converted at least four field goals as well, with the Islanders posting 70 of their 82 points from their starters. The Islanders have topped 70 points as a team just two other times.
Perhaps the more interesting thing about the Islanders placing five in double figures is what happened the previous game. At Central Michigan, the Islanders didn't have a single player get into double figures (Terence Jones led the team with nine) but A&M - Corpus Christi won the game. It was the first time in program history that the team won without having a player score 10 points.
The bigger factor in wins and losses has been the number of points allowed for the Islanders. When holding the opposition to 55 points or fewer, the Islanders are 4-1. In games where the opposition has scored at least 56, Texas A&M - Corpus Christi is 1-20. The lone win was a 74-68 victory over Texas State on Jan. 25.
Terence Jones etched his name in the record book at Savannah State, as he moved into 10th place on the Islanders all-time scoring list. He now has 855 career points after leading the team with 26 points, including a career-high seven threes, against UTSA.
He netted a career-high 33 points against Texas State on 9-of-18 shooting and 13-of-14 from the line. The 33 points were the most by an Islander since Kevin Palmer's 35 against UTA on March 12, 2009.
He added 20 points on 9-of-18 shooting vs. Stephen F. Austin and 21 at Northwestern State, going 5-of-7 from the outside, for his fourth 20-point outing of the season and the fifth of his career. He is sixth overall in scoring (13.8) in the Southland.
Jones has 143 career threes, putting him third in Islanders lore.
Freshman Johnathan Jordan has shown tremendous poise for a player in his first year of college basketball, leading the Islanders offense from the point.
The Houston native currently sits atop the Southland with 4.6 assists per game after tallying a career-best 10 assists against UTSA last Wednesday. He had his first career double-double in the contest, delivering 12 points along with his 10 dimes.
Among frosh, he is currently 10th nationally with that assist-per-game average, just behind Michigan's Trey Burke and Kentucky's Marquis Teague. He is 89th overall in the nation in assists per game.
He is also making his way up the Islanders' single-season list, as his 129 assists place him third in school history. He is just three assists shy of the record of 132, set by Brian Evans in the 2002-03 season.
Jordan isn't the only Islander freshman making an assault on the record book. San Diego's Nate Maxey is within range of toppling the school record in blocked shots, as he is currently fourth on the single-season list and just six away from matching Chris Daniels' single-season record of 53. The big man is currently on pace for 51 swats this year.
Maxey had just one block against UTSA last Wednesday, but it was probably his best overall performance of the year. He was a monster on both ends of the floor, finishing with 10 points and 10 rebounds in just 23 minutes of action.
While his 6-foot-11 frame is impressive enough, Maxey's ridiculous arm length is what sets him apart. The freshman has a 7-foot-9 wingspan.

In Reykjavik, Iceland, there is the Icelandic Phallological Museum, which boasts the world's largest collection of penises. For around $20 you can gawk at the members of many different species: some human. Most in jars. Some more jarring than others. In Lima, Peru, the Museo de Larco has an enormous collection of pre-Columbian pottery. One section is devoted solely to "erotic pottery" some pre-dating the Inca and others pre-dating Christ. I'm not spoiling anything here: There are a lot of clay pots representing the male anatomy. In Bhutan, it's a custom to paint a phallus on the front of your home for fertility.
Lest we think for a moment we are somehow beyond Freud's third stage of psychosexual development, look no further than the gazillions of dollars made off of Viagra and Cialis in this country. Not to mention all the coy commercials with sexy-seeming middle-aged dudes we're now all subjected to.
I relay this because I've traveled, I'm married to a dude and I leave my apartment occasionally, so I therefore realize and am sensitive to the preoccupation the men of our species have with their manhood. I understand.
But last Tuesday when anti-male-circumcision activists from a group called Intaction (you'd be forgiven for guessing they were called U.S. Uncut), interrupted President Clinton at a Clinton Foundation Millennium Network talk in New York, someone had to take umbrage with the outrage.
They were there, eight members strong, to protest Clinton's support for male circumcision in Africa to battle their very real AIDS crisis.
That's right, someone is trying to do something about the AIDS epidemic in Africa and there's a group unrelated to anyone dying of AIDS in Africa protesting one of the tactics. Not because those tactics don't work (there's a lot of evidence that they do), but because they personally don't like them.
I also want to mention that I am very sympathetic to activists. I've spent a lot of time with activists. They believe they can change the world because other activists have done just that. They are more sensitive than the rest of us, that's what makes them activists. In that way they're our conscience, screaming at us to do the right thing. Even if I vehemently disagree with the cause, I respect taking a stand.
With that being said: Really? Male circumcision?
On Intaction's website there's a woman holding a picket sign that reads: "Circumcision removes the most sensitive part of the penis." Like I said, I'm married, to a dude - therefore (very) skeptical of that claim. There's really no evidence of that being true in any study (funded or anecdotal).
But my main issue is: of all the things that one can chose as the evil they must devote their lives to stamping out ... this is it? Not famine, war, disease, poverty, pollution, corruption, child abuse, slavery, exploited sex workers, exploited children, sweatshops, union busting, soda size-shrinking, forest razing, coal mining, whaling, shark finning, the prison industrial complex, the death penalty, illiteracy, female genital mutilation, AIDS in Africa, being Jamie Dimon, bullying, disenfranchisement, predatory lending, being Walmart, being Monsanto, being any subject of any documentary on Netflix, being Netflix, pornography, child pornography, United Airlines (I don't forget), censorship, racism, sexism, classism, high taxes, low taxes, handicap access and any land use issue within 10 miles of your home? Not one of those is more important than the extreme ick factor (because it's not supported by data) of a ubiquitous snip on your extremity?
Not to trivialize anyone's personal connection - no actually I do want to trivialize it. It seems rather shortsighted to dedicate a bunch of one's time to being that self-righteous about something that myopic.
What's really disingenuous about this "cause" is the claim that men are the victims of what they call mutilation. They equate male circumcision with female circumcision, which is false. They also have the gall to compare themselves to the Jews during WWII.
Men have more power than women; historically, currently and otherwise. It's creepy to have superiority and be a crybaby. It's like Kim Jong Un feeling sorry for himself.
Call it a-few-inches-below-your-navel-gazing. It's called junk. It's just not more important than the estimated 22 million people with HIV/AIDS - 70 percent of the world's cases - in Africa.
Seriously, grow up.

Bank Chiefs Warn of a Default's Consequences
WASHINGTON–The heads of three of the world's biggest banks on Saturday warned about the devastating impact on the financial world that would come from a U.S. default.
The bank executives spoke at a meeting in the U.S. capital as news emerged that talks between President Barack Obama and Republican lawmakers aimed at ensuring the U.S. government can pay its bills appeared to falter.
"Utterly catastrophic," was the verdict of Anshu Jain, Co-chair and Chief Executive Officer of Germany's Deutsche Bank AG. Mr. Jain said a default would move through the world economy like a "rapidly spreading fatal disease," potentially causing irreversible damage to short-term loan markets that grease the wheels of the financial system.
J.P. Morgan Chase & Co. Chief Executive James Dimon told the annual meeting of the Institute of International Finance that "you don't want to know" what would happen in the event of a U.S. default.
"It would ripple through the global economy in a way you couldn't possibly understand," Mr. Dimon said.
Also on the panel was Baudouin Prot, chairman of the board of French lender BNP Paribas. "Absolutely disastrous," was his assessment.
The bank chiefs' remarks underscore what's at stake in talks between the administration and Congress to avert a debt crisis, talks House Speaker John Boehner told GOP lawmakers early Saturday were at an impasse. Officials from advanced and developing economies, in Washington for the autumn meeting of the International Monetary Fund and World Bank, on Friday urged the U.S. to get its fiscal act together and prevent their squabble from causing any damage to the world economy.
To be sure, Mr. Dimon and his fellow bankers said on Saturday they thought it unlikely the U.S. will default on its debts. But Mr. Dimon added the budget stalemate has come at an inopportune time for a world economy that needs robust growth.
"We need global growth. We are on the verge of getting it. Please let's not shoot ourselves in the foot."
Corrections & Amplifications:
Deutsche Bank's co-chairman and chief executive is Anshu Jain. A previous version of this article misspelled his name.

WASHINGTON (January 14, 2013)--Speaker John Boehner said Monday the GOP-controlled House will "do its job" and pass legislation to lift the nation's borrowing cap and keep the government running, but will insist that Democrats accept new spending controls.
Boehner acknowledged Monday that failing to raise the so-called debt ceiling would have bad consequences, but he also said that "allowing our spending problem to go unresolved" would be just as troublesome.
Without congressional action, the government would have to default on its obligations, a prospect that could send markets into a spiral and do broader harm to the fragile economy.
Boehner's statement came after President Barack Obama told reporters he was willing to negotiate on the budget but wouldn't allow the debt ceiling to be held captive in the process.

My job is to think all the time--ah, the life of a grad student!--and Think!Friday gives me that additional impetus to go out there and do something.
A few Think!Fridays ago was Hack Day, an ad-hoc 5-hour hackathon across IBM. I built a social discovery web application that took a list of e-mail addresses, names, Lotus Notes mail IDs and even community IDs. Given a list of people, the tool displayed the latest three blog headlines and bookmarks for people who used the internal blogging and bookmarking services. I'd been meaning to build it for a few weeks, and thanks to the enthusiastic Hack Day vibe, I finally made the time to hack it all together.
Fast forward to today. IBMers voted on their favorite Hack Day hacks. Mine won Best Mashup! That made me ridiculously happy. It was a simple hack--most of the time was spent writing libraries to interact with IBM's services and figuring out how to resolve different kinds of names--but it turned out to be quite useful for finding people. Throwing it all together in Ruby was a lot of fun, too. Ruby makes my brain happy.
Hack Day was a terrific way for me to meet a lot of other early adopters and geeks within IBM. We presented our hacks in two teleconferences, and that was awesome.
Today, I decided to deal with some of the other little projects I'd been meaning to do. I set up RSS2Email (Python) and made it easier for people to have comments on their blog e-mailed to them. Again, a simple hack (took me a leisurely hour or so)--but I think it will have a lot of benefit. I also wrote a little Ruby script that summarized my bookmarks in bloggable form. Happy!
I like days like this a lot. I like sensing the need for a little tool and writing that tool. I like being in the zone, trying things out, geeking out, creating something useful...
Happy girl. =)

4. The best birthday gifts: 12:47
What do you give people on their birthdays? People struggle so much with that question, often giving up and grabbing the first gift-ish thing they see at the store and accompanying that with a few scribbled words on a Hallmark card.
It's always been hard to think of what to give my parents. They can get anything they want. My father, in particular, is not the kind of guy who will wait for an occasion in order to give himself something. When he sees something he likes - or something that we'll like - he just goes out and gets it.
Ideally a gift-thing would be what people would love but never think of getting for themselves. How deeply you must know someone in order to do that! I still don't feel that I know my dad enough to second-guess his wallet. ;) I'd rather give him something he can't buy: memories.
I think memories are the best birthday gifts of all. You can create new memories by spending time with people and being completely present for them. You can share old memories by telling people stories about how they touched your life. You can help make future memories by listening to their dreams.
Birthdays are perfect times to think about the past year and imagine the next. As natural milestones, they give you a chance to reflect on the meaning of your life in the company of good friends. Unlike on New Year's Day, the celebrant does not have to share the spotlight with other people. Birthdays are a good excuse for people to gather those who are close to their heart and celebrate them, in turn being celebrated by them.
The best birthday gifts I've ever received? Letters, without a doubt. One of my treasures is a clearbook of the letters I received on the occasion of my 21st birthday, when I was leaving for Japan. Whenever I flip through it, warm and fuzzy feelings wrap me, and I remember the laughter and love of friends.
For my 22nd birthday, I asked my friends to write their two-year plans and a short letter on some 3x5 index cards. Although my friends good-naturedly groused about it being the _only_ party they'd ever gone to that had _seatwork_, they wrote - and this deck of dreams is something that I flip through on occasion to remind me that people care.
For my 23rd birthday this August 12, I don't want to receive any gifts. I want memories, stories, dreams. Write me a letter or record a podcast or capture it on video. Tell me a story about how I've touched your life, and these warm thoughts will sustain me through winter and hot chocolate days. Tell me a story that reveals who _you_ are and who you want to be, and that will deepen our friendship. Tell me of your dreams and that will help me help you build your future.
Send my parents a thank-you note, too. After all, my _mom_ did all the hard work on my birthday... <laugh> What parents wouldn't like to hear about how wonderful their son or daughter is?
Know anyone whose birthday is coming up? Put away that credit card and send some memories instead! =)
On Technorati: life, reflections, birthday

News 12 First at Five / Thursday, Feb. 7, 2012
NORTH AUGUSTA, S.C. (WRDW) -- People who live along the North Augusta street call it the Seymour Speedway.
"Sometimes, I look out the window, and I see cars coming through about 45 or 50, which, I think, exceeds the limit," said Barbara Nichols about speeders on Seymour Drive.
The limit on the North Augusta road is 30 miles per hour. Nichols says that's rarely how fast cars travel along this road that runs diagonally between Atomic and Old Edgefield roads.
"We have a lot of children in the neighborhood riding their bikes. We have people walking in the evenings," Nichols said.
On Wednesday evening, the driver of a truck hit a boy on a bike. Luckily, there were only minor injuries. The boy suffered a chipped tooth and a broken hand.
The driver was not at fault or speeding, but the incident has neighbors along Seymour Drive calling for action again.
"Some of them probably don't realize what the speed limit is because there's no posted signs," Nichols said.
Actually, there are two signs, but blink and you'll miss them. Nichols has been missing them for 17 years.
"Maybe a few more speed limit signs would help," said Rex Alspaugh, who's lived on the road for decades.
Alspaugh has been asking North Augusta for a solution for years.
"They informed me that the street was a state road and not a city road," he told us.
That means neighbors along Seymour Drive will have to ask the South Carolina Department of Transportation for more signs, some speed bumps and maybe even a sidewalk to get kids on bikes off the street.
"The City of North Augusta has a very active traffic enforcement. We try our best to focus on those areas of concern," said Sgt. Maurice Ransom with the North Augusta Department of Public Safety.
Meanwhile, Sgt. Ransom says the city will do its part, but North Augusta officers can't patrol the whole road. Part of it is in the Aiken County Sheriff's Office's jurisdiction.

PIKE COUNTY - The Pike County Chamber of Commerce will be continuing their Third Thursday Breakfast Seminar Series on Thursday, May 8 with the topic of "Unemployment Compensation Separation Issues."
The Pike County Chamber, the Pike County Workforce Development Agency and the PA Department of Labor & Industry are working together on a seminar series of business topics throughout the year and unemployment compensation was one of the most asked about issues.
This important business seminar will explain the process the UC Service Center follows when investigating and issuing determinations relating to quits and discharges including: explaining the fact-finding process, how the UC Service Center rules without fact-finding information from a party, what factors determine if a separation is a "quit" or a "discharge", what determines "burden of proof", how certain exceptions under the Federal Trade Readjustment Act are factored into determinations and what additional steps are available if there is a disagreement with the determination.
"We all know how there are times the UC program seems confusing, so be sure to bring any questions or concerns you have," said Chamber officials. "We hope this seminar, along with a chance to hear issues other employers are experiencing, can help your business better understand the UC program."
Held at the Best Western Inn at Hunt's Landing in Matamoras, the program begins promptly at 7:30 a.m. with breakfast ready at 7:15 a.m.
The cost is $15.00 per person for Pike Chamber members and $20.00 per person for non-members and you must RSVP to reserve your space by calling 570-296-8700 or e-mail email@example.com no later than May 6th.

A Must Read - Share
The picture of the twentysomething years painted by the pop culture—think Girls or The Mindy Project—suggests that young adults use their 20s as a kind of "odyssey years" to bridge adolescence and adulthood. Judging by Hannah, Adam, and Mindy, the 20s are about getting educated and established at work, enjoying drinks and coffee with friends, trying your hand at relationships, all before the press of adult responsibilities sets in.

I've been reading quite a lot of science fiction books since I was in middle school. Recently I read a couple of good ones I'd like to recommend.
"The Cyberiad" by Stanislaw Lem is a collection of closely related short stories. It is based in a future universe populated primarily by robots (in fact, only one human appears in the book, and only as a brief mention). It is a collection of adventures of two robot inventors (or "Constructors" - in the vocabulary of the book). I really liked this book, and I put it next to "Solaris" as the best Stanislaw Lem book I've read to this point.
"The Diamond Age" by Neal Stephenson is also very good. It's more mainstream than Lem's books. The back cover describes it as Science Fiction, if Quentin Tarantino was a Science Fiction writer. There's vulgarity, drugs and sex throughout. It's also the story of a girl that grows up with a kind of virtual reality childrens book as her teacher. It's really very engaging. A real page turner, which is good if that's your style of reading (not mine, usually, but I enjoyed it).
A short list of some other books I've read in the past few years and recommend:
Kurt Vonnegut - "Cat's Cradle", "Sirens of Titan", "Slaughter House 5"
Ray Bradbury - "The Illustrated Man"
Philip K. Dick - "A Scanner Darkly", "Ubik", "The Three Stigmata of Palmer Eldritch", "Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?" (made into the "Blade Runner" movie)
Thomas Pynchon - "Against the Day"
And some classics I read while still in high school: The "Foundation" and "Robot" series' by Asimov, especially the first three novels in the "Foundation" series, the "Dune" series by Herbert, "Stranger in a Strange Land" by Heinlein...
Of these, I think the Vonnegut and Dick novels are my favorites. I've read almost everything written by both authors.
The Pynchon novel there is fantastic, but definitely not for everyone. If you don't mind being a little lost in a novel once in a while, Pynchon is manageable. It's more in the style of Jules Verne/H.G. Wells early 20th century science fiction/fantasy, and it's a fairly challenging read, sprawling, dense and inventive, though less so than, say, "Gravity's Rainbow" or "V".
Anyone else read Science Fiction/Fantasy? (I don't mean Star Trek or D&D novels - sorry if that's your taste)

Obama to tour Asheville company
Published: Monday, February 11, 2013 at 7:39 p.m.
Last Modified: Monday, February 11, 2013 at 7:39 p.m.
ASHEVILLE (AP) — President Barack Obama is visiting North Carolina after his State of the Union address.
The president is scheduled to speak Wednesday in Asheville at Linamar Corp., a supplier of engine, transmission and driveline components.
The Canadian auto parts maker moved into a shuttered Asheville-area factory two years ago with plans to employ as many as 400 workers.
Obama is focusing on proposals to strengthen the economy for the middle class, topics he's expected to address in Tuesday night's State of the Union.
It's a tradition for presidents to launch a post-speech tour to pitch their proposals to the public.

News 12 at 11 o'clock / Wednesday, Oct. 10, 2012
GRANITEVILLE, S.C. -- Jacksonville Missionary Baptist Church is 138 years old. It's a church built by the descendants of slaves.
Today, it still sits off a quiet Chalkbed Road in Graniteville. But soon, it may have to close its doors for good. The church is being sued for breach of contract.
"What is happening right now, the church is having to give an explanation why they are being brought into a suit about property that they own and is trying to protect," said Rev. Ralph Holloway.
Rev. Holloway says the church signed what he says was an agreement with G.L. Williams & Daughter Trucking Inc. back in 2002, which allowed the contractor to mine clay sand from a bluff on church property.
But as more and more clay was removed, Holloway says trucks got closer and closer to a cemetery behind the church. He says the cemetery contains many marked graves dating back before the Civil War. They believe several Civil War soldiers are buried behind the church and even a soldier who fought in the American Revolution. He says workers also worked on Saturdays.
"And at one point, we had a funeral, and he was out there with all his trucks with all the dust and so forth going on. And the following Saturday, he was asked, peacefully, if he would not do that," Holloway said.
He says, however, work continued. Finally, the church sent a letter to Williams to cease and desist. Now, Williams is suing the church to reclaim damages his business incurred when the church broke what his lawyer says was a contract.
"We would be devastated. If this lawsuit affects the church, we would be just devastated. We'll be set back 138 years," said the reverend, speculating that his church may even be forced to close for good.
He and his lawyer, Doug Truslow, say the church did have reason to break the agreement that they say wasn't a legally-binding contract. They also point out that the work didn't meet several South Carolina Department of Health and Environmental Control regulations.
They also fear that unmarked graves may have been dug up as a result of the work, as the workers got only yards away from the cemetery.
"Who knows. On the top of that hill, like I said in court, a family member could just say, 'I'm going to put him right here.' Right here could be 10 feet from the church. I don't know," Holloway said.
That's what Clarke McCants, from the Nance, McCants & Massey Law Firm in Aiken, emphasized. He said even though there's a lot of speculation, there's no evidence that suggests bodies were exhumed from the cemetery.
Wednesday marked the first day of witness testimony. The civil case will resume Thursday morning at the Aiken County Courthouse.

Incoming kindergartners celebrate school starting by attending the Countdown to Kindergarten summer program in Aiken. (WRDW-TV / Aug. 4, 2011)
News 12 at 6 o'clock / Thursday, Aug. 4, 2011
AIKEN -- Kids are getting excited for school to start and are doing the "Countdown to Kindergarten" dance.
There's only 10 days left before North Aiken Elementary starts back up again. And for kindergartners who are about to go to school for the first time, it's a huge deal.
Thursday some youngsters and their families celebrated in style. It is part of the Countdown to Kindergarten summer program that helps kids transition into the school system, providing a chance for them to get to know the building and their teachers.
Christy Washington and her daughter Kayla Washington are getting ready for school, too.
"It's kind of nerve-wracking when she's never gone to school or daycare or anything," Washington said. "I think it is good for her to come to school, be able to meet the teachers and for me, too, that way when I'm coming into the school, I'm not like just leaving my kid with anyone."
Marcia Nash, director of Aiken County First Steps, enjoys the program.
"I think this program has given these kids the first step of getting into that classroom and saying 'That's my school' and 'I'm loving my school' and 'I'm ready for kindergarten,'" Nash said.
The program wasn't just today. Kids have been meeting with their new teachers throughout the summer.

The passing of long-time businessman Charlie McCarty last week was a sad time for his family and the community. However, it did also stir up some recollections of his sports days.
McCarty opened then Burger Queen around 1970 and it was a big deal for Campbellsville. He also fielded a softball team — one he was the left-handed catcher on.
"He would slide head first," fondly remembered former outfielder Frank Gaskins earlier this week. "He hated losing."

2010 Annual Report
Germplasm evaluation of Chinese and U.S. grass and legume accessions (cultivars and lines) will be conducted by the FRRL in the Great Basin and the Northwest A&F University (NAFU) Yangling, Shaanzi, China under irrigated and non-irrigated growing conditions as deemed appropriate. Opportunities for graduate student training at the FRRL were discussed.
Monitoring Methods: Chinese and U.S. scientists met in Harbin China (July 2009) where an agreement was made that laboratory experiments will be conducted jointly in Logan, Utah and the Inner Mongolia University (IMU), where research concerning the evaluation of germplasm for abiotic stress environments is being conducted. During this meeting, it was decided that the group of cooperating institutions be called, the Sino/US Grass Research Alliance (modified from the Chinese/US alliance for grass research) and abbreviated as SUSGRA. This marked the initiation of formal discussions with regards to developing cooperative research agreements with the FRRL for dry temperate environments. It was agreed to develop, organize, and implement plans for a 2010 meeting for SUSGRA in Yangling, China, where the purpose would be to solidify research commitments, to increase awareness of potential cooperative research among new members, and to work to increase the exchange of scientists between China and the U.S.

Has anyone tried newer (newer than build 30369 used in 1.20.409) version of mencoder and mencoder_mt from http://oss.netfarm.it/mplayer-win32.php?
I replaced mencoder and mencoder_mt with those in builds 30945 and 31024 and ps3ms could not play. I just tried a few mkv movies with x264 video. Changed mencoders back to build 30369 and they would all play fine. Did I miss any tweaks that could make the newer mencoders work with ps3ms?
The reason I was trying newer builds of mencoder was that it appeared newer version of mencoder can support, via dsnative, coreavc and other directshow filters, e.g. divx h.264 decoder, DiAVC, etc directly without avisynth. If this can work, then ps3ms's h.264/x264 playback performance could improve substantially with these more efficient H.264 decoders.
