ST. HELENA -- The visiting St. Mary's High football team scored touchdowns on its first three possessions and let its defense do the rest in a 24-7 win over fourth-seeded St. Helena on Friday in the North Coast Section Division IV quarterfinals.
Fifth-seeded St. Mary's (8-4) will play the winner of Saturday's game between No. 9 Piner and No. 1 San Marin in the semifinals next week.
The first possession for St. Mary's was a eight-play, 76-yard drive which was capped by a 5-yard touchdown pass from quarterback Ian Bonde to Ben Schrider. Then, three plays after the Panthers blocked a St. Helena (9-3) punt, running back Tamarik Pierce found the end zone on a 5-yard run to give St. Mary's a 14-0 lead.
The Panthers then took a 21-0 lead after Lorenzo Logwood scored on a 41-yard touchdown run with 3:47 left in the first quarter.
Saints quarterback Jack Preston 2 for 8 passing for 23 yards and one interception. He also rushed five times for 20 yards. Pierce finished the first half with eight carries for 81 yards, and Logwood had nine carries for 72 yards.

David Kaye wrote
the following, reflecting on Metropolitan Opera's losing support of ChevronTexaco;
"[...] Eastern European music has to make it on its own without any help from the wealthy benefactors and without weekly network radio broadcasts. Heck, just this past week there was a classical ensemble from Hungary, Bodo Band, playing around the Bay Area as part of their national tour. They had no benefactors, and stayed in people's homes while they were on here. They didn't play at the Herbst Theatre or the Opera House, but instead at Bruno's, the Luggage Store, and Storyville (a hip-hop club) in SF. The music of Bodo Band is every bit as important as "world class professional" opera, and probably more so, because people who were interested got a chance to talk with the musicians and learn about their techniques and the history of the music [...]"

The Texas A&M - Corpus Christi men's tennis team continued to climb in the most recent Intercollegiate Tennis Association (ITA) rankings released on Tuesday. After reaching a ranking of No. 66 last week, the Islanders have improved to No. 62 in the latest poll.
It is part of a season-long goal that the players and coaches have established to work towards every single match.
"Our goal as a team is to go to the NCAA Tournament," said Director of Tennis Steve Moore. "There are two paths to get there; either winning the conference tournament and get the automatic qualifier, or finish in the Top 45 of the national rankings."
The team reached a program-high ranking of No. 35 during the 2009 season after winning back-to-back matches against teams ranked in the Top 50.
"We just have to keep chopping wood and getting better each week," said Moore. "We are not nearly at our goal yet.
"We have a lot of hard work ahead of us, but I think this team has the character to do it."
The No. 62 Texas A&M - Corpus Christi squad will be in action this Sunday, February 13 in their first home match of the season. The contest is scheduled for a 2 p.m. start at the Corpus Christi Country Club.
Complete rankings can be found at http://www.itatennis.com/AwardsAndRankings/Rankings.htm.

Death of a Salesman
by Arthur Miller
Diamonds and the Jungle
Symbolism, Imagery, Allegory
(Click the symbolism infographic to download.)
The diamonds that made Ben rich are a symbol of concrete wealth in Death of a Salesman. Unlike sales, where Willy has nothing tangible to show for his work, the diamonds represent pure, unadulterated, material achievement. The diamonds are also seen as a "get-rich-quick" scheme that is the solution to all troubles. When Willy is considering killing himself, he hears Ben telling him that, "the jungle is dark but full of diamonds." The jungle here is a risk (physically and, more interestingly, morally), which has the potential to yield wealth. In deciding to commit suicide, Willy perceives himself going into the dark jungle to get diamonds for his son.

The economic recovery in the U.S. is broadly improving, despite a temporary slowdown due to extreme weather in the first quarter. The consumer is making a comeback, fueled by improved home values and equities hitting all-time highs. Meanwhile, the job market is turning a corner with the participation rate beginning to rise and all the jobs lost during the financial crisis finally replaced. The Fed continues on its path of tapering and if the pace continues tapering will be complete by the fall.

Christie Outlines Post-Storm Recovery Plan
Calling superstorm Sandy "our Katrina," New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie said the state is moving into a long-term recovery phase that will take months, if not years.
"We're going to have some real, real challenges ahead of us," said Christie during a news briefing Friday afternoon at Seaside Heights, N.J. "This is going to be long and it's going to be expensive and it's going to be hard and it's going to be frustrating at times."
Christie said much of the state will back to normal by Monday morning in key aspects such as power, roads, schools, gas and clean water. An estimated 240,000 utility customers remained without power on Friday, he said, with nearly all of those outages to be restored by midnight Saturday.
Lines at gas stations across the state have ebbed, and Christie said a decision on lifting the odd-even system of rationing gasoline would be made early next week. Ten remaining boil water advisories should lift when power is restored over the weekend, and 80% of schools were open and operating Friday.
The governor said that the state was still "making progress" on public transportation, as many NJ Transit commuters continue to face delays on badly damaged train lines.
"By Sunday, we will have substantial and almost completely realized progress on all these fronts," Christie said.
The state's long-term recovery — especially in hard-hit areas of the Jersey Shore — is just beginning and will not likely be finalized by the tourist season next summer. But Christie pledged to not "let people forget" the shore, including towns that were part of his youth growing up in New Jersey.
"We're going to be with you throughout every hardship, throughout every frustration," Christie said in an emotional part of his remarks. "I know we will get there because we are tough folks."
Christie said an assessment of the state's needs will begin early next week, and officials will put together a recovery plan addressing displaced New Jersey residents, housing needs and repairs to the Jersey Shore and the state's beaches. The governor said he planned to ask the federal government and insurers to assist in the rebuilding efforts.
"We're going to move forward," Christie said. "I will work as hard as I need to work each and every day to lead that effort."

Ease of Use
I would say 100% satisfaction. However, when I went on the drug approximately 2 years ago I gradually became more pale and my blood vessels became smaller and harder to find by phlebotomists. This was so noticeable to the drawer that they would almost always mention it and have to use a smaller than normal needle. I don't know that Sustiva caused this condition per se.

Reviewer: RicknDC, 55-64 Male on Treatment for 5 to less than 10 years (Patient)
Ease of Use
While I experienced dizziness when I first took Sustiva (along with Ziagen and Epivir); this disappeared after about 2 weeks. No other side effects and in conjucntion with Ziagen/Epivir initially and now with Epzicom my viral load has remained undetectable and my CD4 count and CD4/CD8 ratio have been high for over 7 years now. The only complaint is the ever-increasing price.
Reviewer: sad, 35-44 Female on Treatment for 1 to less than 2 years (Patient)
Ease of Use
it is working for me, except for the weight gain. The biggest issue is the amount it costs me to refill every month, i struggle to get it some months. I was hoping to out if there is help with copays for my meds.
Reviewer: Steve, 35-44 Male on Treatment for 5 to less than 10 years (Patient)
Ease of Use
I have been on Sustiva for six years. It has been very effective, however, the side effects suck. I have morning nausea on a daily basis, along with trouble sleeping. I won't go off of it, however, because it is working.
Reviewer: leetown, 55-64 Male on Treatment for 5 to less than 10 years (Patient)
Ease of Use
i have been on Sustiva for a bit over 5 yeas, in combination with Viread and Ziagen. other than some strange dreams, i have had little or no side effects from this medication and i have been undetectible for nearly 5 years now.

Promising Protection: 911 Call Records as Foundation for Family Violence Intervention
James G. Dwyer
William & Mary Law School
August 27, 2013
Kentucky Law Journal, Vol. 102, 2014
William & Mary Law School Research Paper No. 09-256
The usefulness of 911 call records in domestic violence situations is under-appreciated. This Article documents an extraordinary increase in prosecutorial success in routine misdemeanor DV cases when 911 call records are available and used in some fashion. It also explains how other parties could effectively use 911 event chronologies and sound recordings to stop domestic violence and protect children from being exposed to it, including child protection agencies, victims themselves, and children's other family members.

Boil water notice after Cryptosporidiosis outbreak in Co RoscommonWednesday 15 May 2013 20.45
Over 10,000 people have been advised to boil their domestic water supply in Co Roscommon in the latest outbreak of Cryptosporidiosis.
It is the second outbreak of the parasitic disease in under a month.
The source of one of the outbreaks has been identified in the agricultural community.
However, Roscommon County Council has asked the Department of the Environment to help fund an urgent temporary treatment plant as the outbreaks continue to cause widespread problems in two large towns.

Bank CEO Incentives and the Credit Crisis
Rüdiger Fahlenbrach
Ecole Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne; Ecole Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne - Swiss Finance Institute
René M. Stulz
Ohio State University (OSU) - Department of Finance; National Bureau of Economic Research (NBER); European Corporate Governance Institute (ECGI)
August 2009
NBER Working Paper No. w15212
We investigate whether bank performance during the credit crisis of 2008 is related to CEO incentives and share ownership before the crisis and whether CEOs reduced their equity stakes in their banks in anticipation of the crisis. There is no evidence that banks with CEOs whose incentives were better aligned with the interests of their shareholders performed better during the crisis and some evidence that these banks actually performed worse both in terms of stock returns and in terms of accounting return on equity. Further, option compensation did not have an adverse impact on bank performance during the crisis. Bank CEOs did not reduce their holdings of shares in anticipation of the crisis or during the crisis; further, there is no evidence that they hedged their equity exposure. Consequently, they suffered extremely large wealth losses as a result of the crisis.

Creating Good Passwords
Last updated Feb 25, 2005.
By default, the first account created on a Mac OS X system is an administrator, with permission to change many aspects of the computer's operation. Although it's possible to not assign a password to this (or any other) user account, doing so is extremely foolish. I strongly recommend that you assign a secure password to every administrator and normal user account.
To assign or change passwords necessary for logging in users or altering system settings, begin by choosing Apple > System Preferences > Accounts (see the following figure).
Make sure all users have secure passwords assigned in Accounts preferences.
Any standard user can change his own password, but must first enter the current password to authenticate himself. Administrators can change the passwords for other standard accounts without entering the existing password. However, in either case, it might be necessary to first click the lock icon in the lower left and authenticate as an administrator before making any changes in Accounts preferences.
Select an account from the list at left, then click Change Password. In the configuration sheet that appears, you can manually enter and verify a new password, as well as an optional password hint (not a good idea if security is your paramount concern).
Apple doesn't impose any requirements on your password, unlike many Web sites that insist that your password be at least eight characters long, include at least one non-alphanumeric character, or the like. Such practices are good ideas, but it's infuriating when they're mandatory because they make it harder to create conforming, yet easily memorable, passwords.
Whenever specifying a password—whether for login, your email client, or a Web site—you shouldn't use any of the following:
Your account name or any variation of it.
Personal information such as your name, mother's maiden name, a pet's name, or your hometown.
Any word that can be found in a dictionary (English or foreign language) or in a popular book, mythology, or movie. (Hackers employ automated cracking tools that generate millions of such combinations.)
Obvious patterns such as sequential numbers, alphabet runs, or adjacent characters on the keyboard.
Any of the above with numbers appended.
It's further recommended that your passwords follow these rules:
Include symbols, punctuation, and/or numbers. But don't rely on simple substitutions such as zero for the letter O or the dollar sign for the letter S.
Be at least six characters long. The longer the password, the harder it is to crack, but it's also harder to remember and enter correctly, so there's an obvious trade-off between security and convenience.
Include a mixture of upper- and lowercase letters. Passwords are case sensitive, meaning that aBcD is not the same as abcd.
Try to choose a password that's easy for you to remember but difficult for others to guess. Ideally, your password should appear to be a random combination of alphanumeric characters and punctuation, but have some secret meaning known only to you. One way to choose such a password is to use a mnemonic crutch. For example, the memorable opening of the Gettysburg Address, "Four score and seven years ago," could become "4s+7YA" as your password; it uses numbers, punctuation, and a mixture of upper- and lowercase letters.
All these requirements and recommendations for creating secure passwords can be confusing and overwhelming, so Mac OS X 10.4 features a useful tool called the Password Assistant that determines the quality ("strength") of specific passwords and suggests good passwords. To access Password Assistant, click the small icon of a key (see the following figure) that appears in Accounts preferences, Security preferences, Keychain Access, and various other Mac OS X 10.4 utilities.
The small icon of a key indicates that Password Assistant is just a click away.
Just for fun (or a wake-up call), begin by choosing Manual from the Type pop-up menu and entering your current password in the Suggestion text field. Notice that as you begin to type, the Quality indicator grows from left to right and changes colors (red is weak, yellow means medium strength, and green represents a strong, secure password) because long passwords are necessarily stronger than short ones. If you are dismayed at the weakness of your current password, try implementing some of the tips for improving the strength of your password displayed in the window at the bottom of Password Assistant(see the following figure).
Password Assistant indicates the quality of passwords and recommends methods for improving your passwords.
To have Password Assistant create a password for you, choose Memorable from the Type pop-up menu, and it will generate a password composed of upper- and lowercase letters, punctuation, and numbers. "Memorable" passwords are designed to be easy to remember yet invulnerable to brute force automated dictionary attacks where an intruder tries to authenticate using common words that can be found in a dictionary.
To increase the strength of a password, increase its length. Password Assistant creates passwords from 8 to 31 characters long, but remembering and entering very long passwords is impractical. Any password that results in a solid green Quality rating is sufficient for most uses.
While most users will be best able to recall "memorable" passwords, there are a total of six choices in the Type pop-up menu:
Manual (entered by user)
Memorable (words, punctuation, and numbers)
Letters & Numbers (randomly selected without punctuation)
Numbers Only
Random (letters, numbers, and punctuation)
FIPS-181 compliant (meets the U.S. Department of Commerce standard)
Specifying a secure password for each user account is just the first step to keeping your Mac safe. Many other resources need to be protected by strong passwords. For example, your email program may require a password before it lets you access new messages on the server, and iChat needs the password for your AIM screen name. Although it's tempting to use one password for everything, it's a very bad idea; anyone who cracked the code for one resource would have access to everything. Therefore, you should use a unique password for each resource, and all of your passwords should be changed as often as is practical.
Finally—though it should go without saying—don't reveal your password to anyone you don't trust 100%. The most common method hackers use to obtain passwords is social engineering, a bit of acting in which they pretend to be someone with a legitimate need for your password, such as a system administrator trying to back up your computer. If you believe that your password has been compromised, change it immediately!

Heroes Abound for Syracuse in Win Over North Carolina
by Stephen Bailey | LaxMagazine.com | Twitter
In-Game Blog Replay
SYRACUSE, N.Y. -- The four heroes sat behind the podium from left to right. Each redeemed fittingly in a comeback win that completed Syracuse's propulsion from the Atlantic Coast Conference cellar into the conference tournament.
Faceoff specialist Chris Daddio, once the target of all things failure in the Syracuse program. Now the center of its success at the X.
Injury plagued midfielder Nicky Galasso, once the North Carolina transfer pushed out of Chapel Hill, N.C. Now the spark that helped send the younger, more talented corps of replacements trudging off the Carrier Dome turf.
Second-half goalie Bobby Wardwell, once subjected to constant split-time duty questions. Now the staunch netminder who stoned the Tar Heels through the second half.
And Billy Ward, once the senior captain with only seven goals on the season. Now the glory worthy attack, who scored three goals including the double-overtime game winner to propel Syracuse past North Carolina.
"I thought it was a great game for college lacrosse today," SU head coach John Desko said. "The overtimes, the back and forth, the goalie saves. Just a great game for college lacrosse and for Syracuse University."
Behind Ward's game-winning rip with 2:57 left in the second overtime, and an 18-of-26 performance from Daddio in faceoffs, No. 7 Syracuse (8-3, 2-3) fought back to beat No. 3 North Carolina (8-3, 2-3) 11-10 in front of 6,684 fans in the Carrier Dome on Saturday. The Orange won a game it didn't lead in for the first 52:13, and one that included its first scoreless frame of the season.
But seven-second half goals, including a game-tying bounce shot from Kevin Rice with 8.4 seconds left, erased a 6-3 halftime deficit and put SU in a position for Ward's magical game winner.
As Randy Staats sprinted around the right side of the cage, Duncan Hutchins slid off Ward to help. That's when Staats flicked a pass to Ward, who wound up and fired a shot into the top-right corner of the net.
"I saw my guy, go, I knew Randy would find me and I just let it fly," Ward said. "It's a blur to be honest. You see the net move, and you're kind of like, 'What just happened?' And the next thing you know you're getting tackled by a bunch of guys."
It was Ward who also delivered a powerful halftime speech, reminding the team its heart shown bouncing back from a 21-7 loss to Duke earlier this season. A call to action that Daddio said resonated with the team after scoring just three goals in the first 30 minutes.
The Tar Heels had needed just 5:19 to do the same.
But after halftime, the openings that Chad Tutton and Jimmy Bitter exploited closed up. The Orange defenders improved their slides, and Wardwell saved 3-of-4 Tar Heel shots in the third frame.
But most importantly, UNC's opportunities diminished.
"I think we played well when we had the ball," Bitter said of the second half. "We just didn't have the ball too often."
That's a credit to Daddio. He won 8-of-9 faceoffs from the fourth quarter on — admittedly committing a couple turnovers in the ensuing play — but allowed the Orange to dominate possession time down the stretch.
And SU nearly ended the game at the end of regulation and the first overtime. First, Daddio won the faceoff following Rice's game-tying score and slung it ahead to Rice on the left side, who quickly threw a pass to Dylan Donahue in front of the crease. But Donahue's shot zoomed just over the net.
Then at the end of the first overtime, it was Donahue who found Rice on the right doorstep. But, UNC goalie Kieran Burke stoned him with one of his 14 saves.
Finally, with 2:57 left in the second overtime, Ward finished Daddio's final faceoff win. As the ball fell into the back of the net, Staats ran over to maul Ward before the rest of the Orange players completed their sprint onto the field.
Said Daddio: "We just came out as a team and played better in the second half. I think we just have to look forward now and get better every day."

That showtime has passed. Please try next available showtime.
USA, 2007, 97 Minute Running Time
Genre/Subjects: Comedy, Coming of Age, Romance
Programs: Films in Competition, Contemporary World Cinema, New Directors ShowcaseLanguage: English
DIRECTOR: Mike Gibisser
Producer: Mike Gibisser, Jason KeanEditor: Mike GibisserScreenwriter: Mike Gibisser, Gretchen Akers, Jason KeanCinematographer: Mike Gibisser, Susan TurmanPrincipal Cast: Gretchen Akers, Jason Kean, Lucy Quinn
Hailed by leading film scholar Ray Carney (Cassavetes on Cassavetes), this engaging tale of two desperately isolated people who eventually find each other is told so intimately as to seem whispered in your ear—which it practically is. Unfolding in closely observed facial expressions and gestures, with spare doses of dialogue, Finally, Lillian and Dan explores the namesake characters' tantalizingly slow progress toward connection.
Living alone with her widowed grandmother, Lillian (Gretchen Akers) is quiet and painfully shy, despite others' efforts to draw her out of her shell. Though his own social skills are so stunted he can hardly speak, Dan (Jason Kean) hangs out at the grocery store in the hope of someday meeting someone to love. When these two stumble upon each other, they recognize their common, near-paralyzing reticence and move toward forging a bond, albeit at a glacial pace. Just when the quiet seems deafening and the bond impossible, one or the other comes forward in halting sincerity. Incrementally, a delicate relationship is born.
To capture it, director Mike Gibisser has stripped away everything but the camera and the characters before it. In lieu of script rehearsals, Gibisser spent several months working individually with Akers and Kean, building their characters before bringing them together to improvise their interaction. (The leads are in fact credited as cowriters.) With a sharp eye, he frames the would-be couple's inner struggles tightly to heighten the action, so that the simple touch of Lillian's hand against Dan's face carries the charge of lovemaking. Indeed, the film's grainy veneer and lengthy takes only serve to highlight the natural sweetness of the love story, whereby the viewer's patience is rewarded with signs that this appealing but meek duo is finally beginning to blossom.

by Prashanti de Jager
Over the eons, humans have adapted in order to live with many challenges, from wild fierce animals to wilder planet-consuming weather patterns to ionizing radiation pouring in from the cosmos to… little pieces of proteins so small that you can fit millions of them on the head of a pin.
Our bodies have become quite expert at dealing with these proteins, for instance both viruses and their cohorts, enzymes. Our success as a species has relied on this, so much so that our immune system is quite en garde when it comes to stray unidentified proteins - potential allergens.
When the immune system does find a foreign protein it tends to label it and then attack it, either devouring it or dissolving it. There are several types of "labels" or "flags" that the immune system uses to identify foreign proteins. One of the most common flags, otherwise known as antibodies, is called IgE. Whenever that particular foreign protein is found in the body, the "flags" specific to that intruder trigger mobile histamine reservoirs, called mast cells, to release histamines that optimize other elements of the immune system to neutralize the threat.
One of the beautiful things about the intelligence of our immunity is that once it "labels" a protein as foreign, it remembers that threat pretty much for the rest of our lives. This is why there are some imbalances that can only strike us down once, as from then on our immune system is sensitized to them. Another stunning aspect of our immune system is that it can create and store literally billions of different flags/antibodies corresponding to billions of foreign proteins.
The downside is that the more we remove ourselves from nature, the more proteins in our lives that are either natural or pseudo man-made (I like to call them xenoproteins meaning "foreign proteins") start to trigger mast cells to release histamines in cases where the protein is not necessarily a toxin or a pathogen, and thus the protein becomes an allergen. This hypersensitivity of immunity to tiny proteins like pollens, gluten, dust mites, milk proteins causes excessive histamine releases which are often experienced in obvious annoying and uncomfortable ways.
Over the century, humans have adapted (or not) as their diet diverged from made-in-nature relatively wholesome foods to more man-made processed constructs filled with dubious chemistry. As our "food" is more of a processed new man-made phenomena rather than something natural, our immune systems tend to recognize and "label" the micro proteins in these processed polymers as foreign toxins and pathogens.
Then our immune system goes on high alert to quell and quench the threat. Often it is a bit like a twenty truck fire alarm going off every time someone simply lights a candle. The rush and intense cacophony of "fire engines" racing around our blood stream putting out the equivalent of "candles" is very taxing to the system, and pardon me mixing metaphors, but becomes a bit like "crying wolf" in that there is less energy and focus to then "put out" the real "fires," the real threats to our wellness.
This brings up a big question: what are "the real threats to wellness?" Unbalanced histamine responses to allergens are typically not an indication of an unbalanced immune system but rather of an unbalanced individual living in an unbalanced society amidst unbalanced choices. Of course, the unbalanced choices are usually not the choice of the individual but of their culture, and include choices like the kind of carpet allowed in their apartment, the kind of preservatives and artificial colorings allowed in their highly processed food, the kind of pollen generating mono-crops allowed in their nature, and how the lack of education of what real nutrition is allowed in their scholastic system.
So at the top of the list of "real threats to wellness" would be our choice to support those corporations that support the ubiquitous flux of xenoproteins into our bodies and the lack of the informed choice for us and our children. This is the ecological medicine facet of ensuring healthy histamine response, this is the real key, this is a substratum solution.
Unbalanced histamine responses are, for the most part, 100% of hypersensitivity! It is like our deepest immune system, which is phenomenally intelligent, is shouting at our human intelligence that something is very, very wrong!
John Sarno is likely the most successful doctor in the USA for treating back pain. One of his main techniques is to ask the patient to inquire from the innate intelligence of the back what the body/mind, through the pain, is trying to tell the less astute human intelligence. This very "Ayurvedic" technique works like a "charm." In the same way, if the practice of ecological medicine is the first step toward ensuring a healthy histamine response, then the practice of asking what and why we are hypersensitive is the second step. Almost always, the answer to this question falls under the category, "we are painfully separated from our nature." For instance, we are separated from wholesome organic unprocessed food and herbs and/or we are living in houses/offices that can't properly breathe and are suffocating.
Sensitivities are very interesting windows into the hidden realities of underlying dynamics.
Because in Ayurveda we treat the whole person, including their environment, another facet of invoking balance is to minimize the dominant dietary protein allergens that trigger histamine reactions. These include gluten, the protein in wheat and other grains that help to "glue" the starches of the grain together. Second to gluten in prevalence, but not necessarily intensity, are the proteins in milk and in nuts. One of the steps to ensure a healthy histamine response is to consume only healthy unprocessed wholesome foods. For many people the sensitivity is so heightened that this is no longer an option, but it always is a great start.
Here are three lifestyle categories of ensuring healthy histamine function:
One reason why children have up to 8 times more allergies than adults is that the genetics of humans have not adapted to all the xenoproteins in our diet and environment, and children have to rely on their innate immunity for healthy histamine functions. Adults on the other hand, have had the time for their immune system to adapt. Hence, the ability to adapt to your inner and outer environments is key to wellness. Once again, when our body is whacked out of balance by stresses, like xenoproteins, anti-stress herbal adaptogens are keys. Because the healthy "digestion" of xenoproteins is involved, those herbal adaptogens which also are strong immunomodulators and which also assist our digestive capacity at all levels are the first-reach herbs to balance histamine function. This would include herbs like:
Oxygen derived free radicals have the direct ability to release histamine from mast cells and also generate other phenomena that amplify histamine imbalances and so the fact that these herbs are very high in antioxidants are also indications of their ability to balance histamine function.
This next list may be a bit inaccessible, but is a good summary, in terms of cell physiology, of how Tulsi (Holy Basil), Turmeric Formula, Guduchi and other herbs and diets high in nutrition and antioxidants support balanced histamine function:
This list is about a quarter of the known major ways that these herbs support histamine balance and the general terrain of our systemic wellness. One can summarize this list as saying that histamine function can be balanced by immunomodulation, by competitive inhibition of released mediators of inflammation, or by prevention of release of mediators by mast cell stabilization. So much of this is balancing act is supported by strong antioxidants. Enter our herbal allies!
The hypersensitivity of unbalanced histamine responses are the messengers that brings the news of greater imbalances, and not the ones that made the match, that made us married to a life out of balance.
So let us be increasingly more sensitive to our hypersensitivities, on all levels from micro allergen xenoproteins to emotions to pain in general, as these messengers, by agitation, have much to tell us about calm certain stability in these days of great change.

…had any peanut butter left. So I topped half of my whole wheat bagel thin with the rest of the peanut butter and some banana slices and the other half with some promise spread and a little raspberry preserves. I also had a glass of milk on the side and ate the rest of the banana on its own. Wasn't exactly what I wanted, but it was pretty good using what I had. This breakfast had approximately 330 calories, 58g carb, 7g fat, 17g protein.

A stray shower or two has developed this afternoon, and that will be the case until sunset tonight. Tomorrow looks to be dry for just about everyone as high pressure builds in over top of the area. The quiet weather will be short lived as storms could end up arriving from our northwest Thursday and Friday. The main threat of rain will be over the weekend.
A deepening upper level low will drop in from the north starting on Saturday and remain with us through at least Tuesday. This means a prolonged period of showers and storms, as well as cooler temperatures to begin July. As of now, it is a little to early to say if we will see anything severe, but we are watching that closely.
Temperatures will warm into the lower 90s as we close out the work week before highs drop into the mid and upper 80s to begin July as cooler air arrives with our upper level low.

The idea of an Audi R4 e-tron roadster concept for Paris continues to gather momentum today with stories from French auto magazine L'Automobile and German magazine Auto Motor und Sport. L'Automobile went so far as to mock up a render while A,M und S offers even more credibility given
The website WorldCarFans is reporting that Audi plans an 'R4 e-tron Roadster' for this month's Paris Auto Show. According to the WCF story, the car may be a roadster version of the coupe (above) shown last January in Detroit.
So What Do We Think?
WCF is consistent at running a lot of news but isn't always right. In the past they've even run CGIs we've
As rumors continue to swirl surrounding mid-engine Audis, we've just run across this render by artis Andrei Avarvarii. This roadster is most obviously based upon the Volkswagen Bluesport concept car images and, if accurately date tagged, predates the 2010 Detroit e-tron concept Audi chose to show.

I am a mostly retired professor of educational psychology at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and long-time resident of Chapel Hill. I came to UNC in 1979; retired from teaching in 2008; continued work on research projects from 2008-2011; and currently work in the School of Medicine part-time on a cancer research project involving distance education. In addition to my academic work, I regularly consult with organizations to help them improve their workplace learning programs. I am also the very proud father of three adult children and two wonderful grandchildren. I was born and attended public schools in Alabama. Later I went to Auburn University where my grandfather had been Dean of Engineering. After completing my undergraduate and masters degrees there I worked in public schools in Alabama before heading off to Florida State University to get my PhD. After completing my PhD I stayed and worked in Florida for eight years before moving to North Carolina. I have been in North Carolina for over thirty years now. Now that I am retired from full-time work at UNC I split my time between Chapel Hill and West Jefferson where we have a mountain cabin.
I was on the faculty of the School of Education at the University of North Carolina from 1979-2008. Prior to that I was on the faculty at Florida State University. I taught in the area of educational psychology and instructional design with a special interest in human learning and technology. I have always had a special interest in designing instruction to be delivered via technology. I continue this line of work on projects in the School of Medicine and Dentistry. I recently worked on a national project conducting research on using distance education to improve rural schools. I am currently working on distance education projects in the School of Medicine. I have used technology in my own courses, frequently teaching courses online. I have written several books and numerous articles related to my academic interests.
I have been a consultant to many national and international corporations and agencies. While the specifics of each consulting assignment differ widely, there is a common element - the emphasis on applying the best knowledge from research and theory to educate and train people in such a way that they are able to improve their capabilities to perform successfully in their work and beyond.

It was a somber Tuesday in The Zone. Everyone knows by now of the passing of Robin Williams. He was loved by many, whether it was for his stand-up or his acting the man touched the hearts of many. He clearly had an impact on many of the listeners as well as they call in this segment to share their thoughts. We also get a bit of a spiritual talk from Chopper.
The nature of how Williams was found dead is defiantly disturbing and sad. Without repeating the details we focus on what must have led to his death and how to prevent it. Joining us in studio to talk about suicide prevention was Rebecca Ward who is an LCSW (License Clinical Social Worker). We also take some calls from folks who have questions for Dr. Ward.
We did try to lighten things up a bit. The Big Brothers Big Sisters have a fundraising Roast and Toast coming up. Pat will be there and the guest of honor will be Nolan Richardson. Sounds fun.
The highlight of every Tuesday is of course Jim Harris. He is with us thanks to our good friends at Sporting Life
Hopefully we will all be back tomorrow. As always, Justin and Pat thank you for listening to The Zone from 10 to 1!

When you're busy taking care of your kids, working on your six-pack tends to fall to the end of a very long to-do list. Whether it's been months or years since you gave birth, achieving a stronger, flatter core through exercise and diet improves your overall health, posture and body confidence. As an added bonus, your flat-belly plan can teach your kids about eating healthy and being active.
ExerciseStep 1
Place your hand on your lower belly as you stand or sit up straight. Inhale and pull your belly button toward your spine. Keep your core tight for eight to 10 breaths, and repeat five times. This exercise activates the deep transverse abdominis muscles, which strengthen your entire core after children.
Inhale and pull your belly button tightly toward your spine to activate your transverse abdominis. Exhale and relax your muscles slightly (not completely), then tighten again as you inhale, creating a pulsing motion with your stomach. Repeat this exercise 30 times.
Lie on your back, knees bent and feet flat on the floor, to perform a bridge. Place your palms on the floor on either side of your hips. Activate your transverse abdominis and lift your bottom off the floor, forming a straight line from your shoulders to your knees. Hold for two breaths and slowly lower to start. Repeat for one to three sets of 10 to 15 bridges.
Move into the starting bridge position to perform a modified hundred. Take a deep breath, pull your stomach in, and lift your head, shoulders and arms three to five inches off the floor, keeping your palms down and your core tight. Hold for two breaths. On the second exhalation, lower back into your starting position. Repeat for one to three sets of 10 to 15.
Lie face down with your arms and legs extended to perform Supermans. Engage your core, then squeeze your glutes to bring both legs a few inches off the floor. Simultaneously lift both arms and hover in this flying position for three to five seconds. Lower your arms and legs, and repeat the exercise three to five times.
DietStep 1
Fight belly bloat by choosing pure water over carbonated sodas (including diet varieties). Take your weight in pounds and divide it by two, then drink that many ounces of water every day.
Eat fish such as Alaskan pollock, sardines and salmon for lean protein and heart-healthy omega-3 fatty acids.
Swap refined grains for whole grains in your bread and pasta. The fiber in whole grains keeps you full longer, while processed grains give you a quick burst of energy that can be converted into fat.
Cook with olive oil, a monounsaturated fat, and eliminate saturated fats and trans fats, which include anything that has "partially hydrogenated oil" in the ingredients.
Eat two to three servings of fresh fruits and vegetables every day. Fresh produce contains water and fiber to eliminate bloat — plus, they're rich in nutrients and naturally low-fat.
- Focus on your health and core strength, not on looking exactly the way you did before you had children.
- Make sure your overall fitness regime incorporates fat-burning cardio, strength-training and flexibility work.
- In the first few weeks after giving birth, new mothers can experience diastasis recti, a common condition where the muscles of the abdominal wall separate. Consider talking with your healthcare professional about diastasis recti before you begin ab-related workouts, and exercise only after your professional gives you the green light.

Caraway bread crumbs give this hearty soup a fine edge. Serve with a green salad and crusty rolls and a crisp-dry Riesling wine or German beer for a fine winter meal.
Bread Crumbs
1 tbsp. unsalted butter
½ c. dried caraway rye bread crumbs
2 tbsp. finely chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
3 tbsp. unsalted butter
1 carrot, finely chopped
½ c. finely chopped onion
½ red bell pepper, finely chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 tbsp. all-purpose flour
2 c. vegetable stock
1 ½ c. small broccoli florets
1 c. peeled russet potato in ½-inch cubes
¼ tsp. celery seed
2 c. milk
2 c. (8 ounces) coarsely shredded sharp cheddar cheese
¼ tsp. dry mustard powder
Salt and freshly ground pepper to taste
Coarsely ground pepper for garnish
To make the bread crumbs, melt the butter in a small skillet over low heat. Add the bread crumbs and stir constantly until lightly browned, about 2 minutes. Transfer to a bowl and set aside to cool. Toss in the parsley. Set aside.
To make the soup, melt the butter in a Dutch oven over medium heat. Add the carrot, onion, bell pepper, and garlic; cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are tender, about 10 minutes. Add the flour; stir constantly over low heat for about 2 minutes. Gradually add the vegetable stock, whisking until the mixture is smooth.
Add the broccoli, potato, and celery seed. Increase the heat to high and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat; cover and simmer, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are tender, about 10 minutes.
Stir in the milk. When the soup is warm, add the cheese, stirring gently (taking care not to break the broccoli florets), until the cheese is melted. Stir in the mustard powder and season to taste.
Sprinkle each serving with pepper and bread crumbs.
Advance Preparation
Refrigerate the soup and bread crumbs in separate covered containers for up to 3 days.
