The seasons are what a symphony ought to be: four perfect movements in harmony with each other. Arthur Rubenstein
As of July 1st, 2013 I am officially a student of Integrative Nutrition. Ever since my late teens I have been interested in health. I always thought I practiced a healthy lifestyle. And I suppose with the knowledge, what little bit I had , I did the best I could.
For instance when I was 14 yrs old and working in a grocery store, I started out every morning with a huge BRAN muffin that had just come out of the store bakery. I THOUGHT I was eating healthy, the pastry had bran in it, they dusted the top with a few oat pieces. Little did I know, that I was basically eating a big, brown, cupcake. Anyway, we all start with what we have and grow from there.
In one of the modules that I am studying, we are talking about eating seasonally. Years ago I would have interpreted eating seasonally as, what to eat for Easter, Thanksgiving, and for Christmas (haha). But what we are really talking about here is eating fresh produce when it is in season. To many this may be a new concept. For those who eat foods that mainly come preprocessed everything is in season!! You can eat Top Ramen and Mac 'n' Cheese year round and the flavor never changes.
I will never forget the year we literally lived on Top Ramen. My dad is a wizard in the kitchen. He can open the fridge and cupboards and create something out of nothing. I remember every night asking dad what was for dinner and he would reply, "Stuff". I knew this meant that he dumped a bunch of odd ball ingredients in his magic pot and something wonderful would be ladled out on my plate.
So for 365 days we ate some form of Top Romen. I don't know how he did it but he created a new taste with it each and every passing day. I am thinking by day 333 it had started to grow old (lol) but on day 365 moma had ENOUGH! I can recall that day as if it were yesterday. Mom and I were sitting at the dinner table and dad waltzed over to the table carrying a large casserole dish. As he sat it down in center of the table I peered in and instantly recognized the presence of Top Ramen. Mom grabbed the serving spoon with a sigh, scooped out some "stuff" and went to plop it down on her plate. But it stuck to the spoon, she shook and shook the spoon but it refused to release itself.
Finally, with a loud slushy thud, the "stuff" landed in the center in her plate. I looked at the plate, I looked at the "Stuff" and I looked at Mom… she had that look in her eyes and before I could give it anymore thought she uttered the words quietly…."ENOUGH!"… then a little louder, "ENOUGH!"… then in a thunder, "ENOUGH!" A glazed look washed over her , she had the spoon in hand that still had some "stuff" on it that refused to let go, she shook the spoon in the air , then brought it down to a slam on the table and said with great force, "I HAVE HAD ENOUGH!" Dad and I just sat silently. We all looked at one another and ate our "Stuff", that night was never spoken about again and that was the last time dad made "Stuff." haha
Like I was saying we all do the best with what we have. But in today's world with so much information at our fingertips we no longer can afford to be naive. So today I wanted to give us all something to chew on (no pun intended) and to give some serious thought as to what it would be like to eat seasonally. What does it mean and why is it important? Let's break this down a little bit.
I know what it is like first hand to struggle when it comes to buying local produce. I lived in Alaska for 28 yrs and due to the growing conditions there the selection is very limited. The small town that I lived in eventually started a small Farmer's Market. Most of the tables / vendors sold crafty items. For fresh produce one could basically buy cabbage (HUGE ones), zucchini, cucumbers, and some greens. I am sure it will grow with demand but while I was there it was hard to eat a variety of seasonal items. This caused my husband to look into CSA's which stands for Community Supported Agriculture. We would go on-line and select what produce items we wanted shipped up to us in a box and a week later it would show up. We did this along with buying whatever we could locally.
Remember this – "8, we hate………4, is poor………9, is Divine."
I hope that you have found some of this information helpful. I would love to hear your thoughts on this subject matter. Please feel free to leave a comment.
Have a blessed day, Amie Sue

Something in the water?
Reading this message board is what i imagine its like to walking into a mental hospital!
You all genuinely believe (because your directors and the newspapers told you so) that you're now able to attract Rooney and are going to spend big and sign a plethora of big names?!?
I think you all need to sit down and wind it in a bit. No Rooney wont be joining you in this world, that is a fact. You'll be lucky if Higuain joins to be frank, not that hes the player you need either.
You need to replace Cesc, Nasri, Song, RVP...and then you STILL wont win the league! Ha! Get it??Sort: Newest | Oldest | Most Replied Expand all replies
Do you really think we need you to tell us we need to replace Fabregas, Song and van Persie? You can have Nasri. Your problem is that you think everyone is as clever (!) or thick as you are. Professor Frank
I don't think many of us are convinced Rooney would be worth the gamble or the money, whether we would go for him or not. It doesn't take a genius to know we could easily afford him, which doesn't mean we would actually be willing to pay his excessive salary.
How come you are so confident that, if we would sign Higauin, he would not be able to score 15-20 PL goals for us? Or differently said that he would be the wrong player? If he scores 15-20 PL goals for us he would be a positive addition. I would have thought that it would almost be accepted knowledge or believe that signing a striker is always a gamble that can work out both ways even with the same player. Torres looked like a no brainer when Liverpool signed him and proved to be just that. Clearly Chelsea thought he would be a no brainer but was not. Not many expected Michu or Benteke to be the big successes they were and than there are the many in between signing of neither total success or total failure, Giroud and Berbatov come to mind in this category, with Giroud still having a chance to prove able to improve on a solid first season at AFC.
jeeze not another to55er on these boards.

Meal Planning. Two words that can put crushing fear in the hearts of even the toughest mothers out there.
My mother planned our dinners and posted them every week on an 80s version of a whiteboard in our kitchen. And she managed to do this with FOUR kids born within 5-1/2 years of each other. Yikes. That's a lot to live up to. But everybody is different — if you're not a planner (let's call ourselves "spontaneous," shall we?), then don't force it to that level. But there are things you can do to get yourself organized and get dinner on the table without losing your mind or ordering pizza on a daily basis. Here's a short list:
Go to the farmers market.
This way you learn what's in season and what will taste the best with the least "intervention." Summer is great for this as a lot of things can be eaten uncooked (yes, even corn if it's fresh); fall is good too because you can roast everything (potatoes, veggies, meat or not) in a pan with olive oil, garlic and herbs. CSAs are great, but I like the freedom of the farmers market; I don't like feeling like I have to cook something just because it's in my CSA basket. Too much pressure. Although there are ones that you can pick what you get and have them delivered, so that's a great option if you're under time pressure (and what mother isn't?). Also, I'm one of those weirdos that needs to touch my veggies first.
Build up a repertoire.
If there a 3-4 dishes your girlies (and you) love, learn to make those really well and have those up your sleeve to the point where they become automatic. Quesadillas count. So do omelettes. And if you rotate them regularly over the course of a week, that will take care of nearly half your meals. Here are a few I fall back on regularly.
And then, there's Sandwich Night.
Please tell me that you remember that great scene from "About Last Night…" when Debbie, Demi Moore's character tells her disapproving friend, Joan:
One night, I cook. One night, he cooks. One night, we go out. And then, there's sandwich night.
Okay, she left out a few nights but still, ain't nothing wrong with sandwich night. And OMG, after watching the trailer, I MUST watch this movie again. Immediately.
Stock your pantry.
This is key, so even if you didn't make it to the store that day (or week), there's still something you can make in the house. Here are links to a couple good lists.
Make large quantities.
If you're making lasagna, make two and freeze one. Make two zucchini pies. Make a double or triple batch of soup, etc. Some things freeze better than others. Pesto is another thing that freezes well. I usually freeze it before adding the cheese. And you don't have to use basil exclusively; make a cilantro or parsley pesto out of those random leftover herbs we all seem to collect. And of course, making large quantities means leftovers, which is one less meal you have to cook!
Keep your shopping list on your fridge.
That way, you can add something to the list when you run out (not go looking for it after you start cooking and realize you don't have it). My friend Dan has a shopping list (for each of the three stores he shops at) on his computer that he just pulls up when he's going to the store. He can do a quick inventory check of the fridge and cupboards and then check off what he needs, print it out and take it to the store. Of course, there is also an app for that. Go here for iPhone or here for Android.
Prep ahead.
I've started doing this and it makes such a difference. When you get your groceries and bring them home, prep what you can. Meaning wash and cut the veggies/herbs, press the tofu, etc. This is the way chefs do it, and that's because it's the most efficient. If you know you don't need to chop your onions or press and cube tofu, it's much less daunting (and time-consuming) to make a home-cooked meal (or a stir-fry, which is basically all about the prep).
Some things are worth buying already made.
Pizza dough, rotisserie chicken (if you eat it) and tomato sauce are sometimes easier (and cheaper) to buy already made. Add a salad or some steamed veggies and that's another meal you can check off your list.
Arrange a block of time to do a bunch of cooking for the week.
I like to do a lot of cooking on Sunday, when everyone's lazing around. I can knock out a lasagna, a big pot of chili and pizza dough (with my bread machine) in a couple hours.
Include your kids in the process.
You can't always do this, I realize. Sometimes you need to get the food on the table NOW, but maybe on that Sunday, take some extra time to get them to help you out. My kid loves to help me make bread and oatmeal. We measure together, and he gets to pour the ingredients in and mix everything up. It's fun for him (and bonus: he's learning math), but I also want him to appreciate where food comes from and learn to enjoy the process as much as I do. Plus food tastes better when it's made with love.
Invest in some good equipment and get rid of stuff you don't use.
Most NYC kitchens are pretty small, so although I've been coveting one forever, I still don't have a KitchenAid mixer. It's just not practical. But I will make room for my bread machine and ice cream maker because I use them all the time. To a fault. And I can't live without my santoku chef's knife. Lots of people swear by their slow cookers. As we're a vegetarian household, I haven't invested in one as my rice cooker can do a lot of that, plus I feel like slow cookers are good for slow-roasting meats (which we don't make). On the flip side, if you have a lot of stuff in your kitchen, it makes it that much harder to be organized, which you need to be when you're trying to get dinner on the table. If you have five jars of cumin, that's not helping matters. Clear away stuff you don't use and put things you do use in an accessible place.
Build your own speed rack.
I have a small tray right next to the stove that has the following things: olive oil in a pour bottle, canola oil in a pump sprayer, salt (regular salt for cooking and Maldon sea salt for finishing), pepper mill (and if I'm doing a lot of cooking, I'll have a bowl of ground pepper too), toothpicks (for testing doneness in baked goods).
Try new things.
Read blogs, magazines, cookbooks. Ask your mom or a friend who's a good cook to come over and teach you a few basics or some of your favorites (that's my amazing mom making pasties up above). As you start learning and getting more comfortable in the kitchen, you'll quickly realize you can do a lot of substitutions in recipes and just wing it with what you've got lying around. Don't be afraid to experiment. The worst that can happen is you order in that night.
Go out Friday nights.
Or order in. We usually order pizza on Fridays. And we've been known to order in on Saturdays too on particularly nutty weeks. Isn't that why we all live in New York City, after all?
This is by no means a complete list. Any other ideas out there? What's your best time-saving kitchen tip?
Happy Weekend!

DANVILLE, Ky. (WKYT) - A Boyle County Food Bank can keep it's doors open a few days longer, thanks to generous donations.
Officials with Harvesting Hope planned to shut their doors on December 20th, after managers said they were running low on funds and couldn't afford to stay open.
After a story on WKYT, we're told the Food Bank received enough donations to remain open for another month.
Harvesting Hope Manager Victoria Murphy told WKYT they would need $5,000 to make that happen. The organization runs entirely off donations, they lost their biggest donors in October, and have been struggling ever since.
She says volunteering at the pantry is a rewarding experience and hopes they can continue to help the community.
Donations can be dropped off any day during the week, until the pantry closes. After the closure, donations can be sent to P.O. Box 2053 Danville, KY 40423 - 0410.

Ravi Shankar gets Lifetime Achievement Grammy
The honor comes one day after the Indian music legend, a 20-year Encinitas resident, died at 92; North County resident Patti Page also a recipient
Music legend Ravi Shankar was on Wednesday named a Lifetime Achievement Grammy Award recipient, a day after his death at 92 in a La Jolla hospital.
The Indian music great and sitar master, a 20-year Encinitas resident, will be honored at an invitation-only ceremony in Los Angeles on Feb. 9. The annual Special Merit Awards event, at which six other artists will also receive Lifetime Achievement Grammy Awards, takes place just one day before the 55th annual Grammy Awards are to be telecast live from the Staples Center in Los Angeles.
By coincidence, Shankar last week was named as one of the Grammy nominees for Best World Music Album. It is a category in which his daughter, sitar virtuoso Anoushka, 31, is also nominated, marking what appears to be the first time that a father and daughter's albums will be competing for the same honor at the Grammys.
Another longtime San Diego County resident, singer Patti Page, 85, will also receive a Lifetime Achievement Award. She rose to game in the 1950s with such pop hits as "Allegheny Moon," "Old Cape Cod," "Let Me Go, Lover!" and "Go On with the Wedding." She is perhaps best know, however, for her 1953 novelty hit, "(How Much Is) That Doggie in the Window?"
Page was not available for comment Wednesday. However, her personal manager Michael Glynn spoke with her about the honor.
"She was called about a week and a half ago by by Neil Portnow, the head of the Grammys," Glynn said. "She was very happy and very honored, almost overwhelmed. Patti's looking forward to attending the ceremony."
The other Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award honorees are iconic singer-songwriter Carole King, 70; jazz bandleader and bass great Charlie Haden, 75, and the seminal soul vocal group The Temptations, whose sole surviving original member, Otis Williams, is 71.
In addition to Shankar, two other artists will receive the Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award posthumously. They are: classical piano giant Glenn Gould, who died in 1982; and blues pioneer Lightnin' Hopkins, who died the same year and at least indirectly helped lay the foundation for rock 'n' roll.
"Each year, The Academy has the distinct privilege of honoring those who have greatly contributed to our industry and cultural heritage, and this year we have a gifted and brilliant group of honorees," said Neil Portnow, President/CEO of The Recording Academy, under whose auspices the Grammys are presented.
"Their exceptional accomplishments, contributions and artistry will continue to influence and inspire generations to come."
Grammy Trustees Awards will be presented to Chess Records' co-founder Phil Chess, 91, and to composers Marilyn and Alan Bergman. Technical Grammy Awards wil go to Ikutaro Kakehashi, Dave Smith and Royer Labs.

We didn't visit Graceland. I know that will shock many people, but neither of us are rabid Elvis fans. Plus it costs 28 bucks for the tour. So we contented ourselves with a drive-by and took photos of Graceland behind its screen of trees, the graffiti covering the stone wall fronting Elvis Presley Boulevard, and Elvis' private aircraft. If you are an Elvis devotee who is offended by our casual attitude, I have a piece of advice: get a life.
Today we drove down the route of the old Natchez Trace, now called the Natchez Trace Parkway
Tonight and tomorrow night we're at the lovely Cedar Grove B&B in Vicksburg, recommended to us by our good friends the Martens. We have had a great dinner (fried green tomatoes and shrimp and grits) and a bottle of champagne. Tomorrow we'll explore the town and decide whether to continue our journey south. Home is looking pretty good about now.

Wait, so the Martens get a shout-out for recommending a B&B but Ash and I get NO love for making your soundtrack?
Ash made shrimp n' grits just the other day. You would've approved, to say the least.

A Back-to-School Swine Flu Primer
Millions of children are heading back to school in the next few weeks and concerns are growing that the H1N1 swine flu will spread even further than it already has. Identified by scientists four months ago, the virus has already turned up in nearly every corner of the world. It also defied public-health officials' predictions of a lull in the warm summer months, proliferating in places like children's summer camps.
A vaccine against the new flu is under development, but it is unlikely to be widely available before the flu season gets under way. That could leave many people scrambling to protect themselves and their children.
As back-to-school season gears up, reporter Betsy McKay has compiled a handy swine flu primer, answering the questions that are on many readers' minds. Here's an excerpt. (The full primer, including more information about vaccination, can be found here, and is well worth checking out.)
How dangerous is the H1N1 swine flu?
Public health officials initially feared a deadly scourge, after reports of dozens of deaths in Mexico. Instead, "what we are seeing looks very much like seasonal flu so far," Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius said earlier this month. Most people suffer unpleasant but not life-threatening symptoms, such as fever, body aches, sore throat and runny nose and gastrointestinal problems.
Who is most at risk?
Pregnant women and people with asthma, diabetes, heart disease and other chronic diseases. About 70% of those hospitalized and about 80% of those who have died in the U.S. had underlying medical conditions, according to the CDC. In a study published in the Lancet, CDC scientists found pregnant women were more than four times as likely to be hospitalized with the new flu than the general population.
If swine flu is going around my child's school, should I keep him or her home?
No. The CDC recommends that schools monitor closely for ill children and staff, isolate them quickly and send them home–but remain open, in most cases, for classes.
Children spread infections easily to one another because they excrete virus in greater amounts than adults and for longer periods. Many schools are taking steps to curb the spread of disease by making sure paper-towel dispensers are kept full in bathrooms and taking other simple steps. Urge your children to wash their hands often or use hand sanitizer, and to cough into their elbows or a tissue to prevent viruses from spreading.
What if I get swine flu?
Treatment is similar to that for seasonal flu. Most people get well by resting, staying hydrated and taking medicines to reduce fever. Stay home and keep your distance from others for at least 24 hours after your fever is gone.
Children under 18 years old shouldn't be given aspirin due to a risk of Reye's Syndrome, a rare but potentially life-threatening illness. Don't give cold medicines to children under four without first talking with a pediatrician.

A Lesson in Compassion
In the east end of my city is a methadone clinic, a safe place where opiate addicts can ingest a less harmful substitute under the supervision of doctors and addiction specialists. This clinic is new, operating out of a pharmacy in a residential area.
Concerned residents, led by a university student who lives in the area, are outraged that a methadone clinic was opened without consulting the neighborhood, though it adheres to the city's bylaw that clinics in residential areas serve no more than 40 people.
The group has taken to photographing the addicts as they come and go, which has, of course, created an environment of fear and shame among those who use the clinic, already prone, as addicts often are, to fear and shame.
These protesters insist that they're only taking photographs so that "if crime increases," they'll have shots of the "likely criminals."
The media story around this has inspired equal anger on the parts of many citizens, who have sent e-mails filled with threats and accusations to the protesters. An eye for an eye, it would seem.
My daughter started high school a few weeks ago. She left her small, homogeneous elementary school and selected an out-of-area high school with more ethnic and economic diversity than any of the other schools in our city. Across the street from her downtown school is another methadone clinic. Although there's the occasional rumbling in the community, the clinic and the school have co-existed for a number of years now. Students and teachers insist that the clinic itself has no negative effect on the school, though the drug dealers who hover nearby are less welcome.
Within the school, in my daughter's homeroom, is a boy we'll call Daniel. Daniel, to put it frankly, drives my daughter nuts. He chatters constantly, interrupting my daughter's thoughts and work. He's loud. While my daughter acknowledges that he's a "nice guy," she wishes he'd stop "bugging" her. Already prone to anxiety, she has enough to deal with, thanks.
I preach patience (though I don't always model it). I suggest compassion. Perhaps, I propose, he's nervous about a new school, worried — like her — about making friends.
Still, day after day, the stories come home about Daniel's latest missteps and my daughter's mounting frustration.
Until last week. On Friday, a counselor came into homeroom to talk to the kids about anxiety, obsessive-compulsive disorder, Aspberger's syndrome and other psychological issues. She came at the request of Daniel, who, it turns out, has Aspberger's. The counselor outlined what this means for Daniel and how it manifests in his day-to-day behavior. Equipped now with a deepened understanding, my daughter's annoyance has given way, at least for the time being, to acceptance. Daniel isn't unlike her, she realizes, dealing with an issue that sometimes overwhelms.
It's a lesson that not only the protesters across the city would do well to learn, but the people responding to the protesters as well. A situation that should summon our compassion and our understanding has instead provoked fear and intolerance on both sides.
And yet, blocks away within a school smack in the midst of inner-city issues, is a boy brave enough to challenge that intolerance with openness and a plea for understanding.

Just when I sort of kind of knew what I was doing, I had Drew. Maybe it's because he was my second child. Or maybe it's because he was my second child.
I guess I'll never really know.
I've never brushed it off as being his gender, his birth order, or the fact that I drank a few cups of coffee and a vodka tonic when I was pregnant with him.
It was just like meeting someone new - you're taught how to say hello, shake hands, and offer them a tasty beverage, but what do you do when they speak Portuguese, perfer to slap you on the back side of the head, and drink with the cup completely upside down so everything ends up on your carpet?
It doesn't make for very smooth introductions.
I'm learning how to parent Drew just like I learned how to parent Quinlan. It's trial and error, celebrations and failures. It's opening a new book that you've never read or watching a new movie that you've never seen, and no matter how hard you try to get your friend to tell you what the hell happens, they can't.
Because they've never read or seen this one before.
I often get frustrated. It's hard not speaking the language sometimes. It's difficult to find a happy medium between head whacking and hand shaking.
We try to meet him somewhere in the middle. Most of the time, it's closer to my end of things, but I've discovered it's not so bad hopping over to his side of the fence every now and then.
He's making us read his book. And he's forcing us to watch the entire movie, even the uncomfortable parts, with the sound completely on. No heads buried under pillows.
Happy 2nd Birthday, Drew. You've certainly redefined the word "tantrum," taught me the difference between an excavator and a front loader, and offered us a new appreciation for toilet locks.
And for this I am thankful.
Here's to another year of new adventures.
I'm running a fun little contest in honor of Drew's big #2. Humor me and come play along.

SUBMITTED: Friday, June 07, 2013POSTED: Friday, June 07, 2013
I've been with PAM for almost 6 years and the only time I have had a paycheck less than $500 was a short week due to home time. Yes, I've had to deal with idiot 2nd/3rd shift and weekend DMs, but in the long run I am glad I'm employed. I have averaged gross pay for the year about $41,000 starting @ 33 cpm in 2007 and getting regular raises every 6 months.
I don't know the DM Christy you were talking about, but she is not the rule, she's the exception. As for the line, no empties available you'll have to sit for 2 days to reset yor HOS, that's a new one--haven't heard hat one before. Also I don't nderstnd how anyone in Tontitown can say no empties available since PAM just purchased almost 1000 brand new Great Dane trailers in the last 9 months.
Your story about C-1 seems common though. All I here fom drivers is that they teach you just enough to pass CDL road test, then you have 2 weeks with PAM trainer before you're assigned a truck.

Australia lures Brits 2008-03-19
Latest immigration news
The Australia Needs Skills expo took place in London on March 15th and 16th. Employers and government agencies set up shop to lure British skilled workers to Australia. Australia, whose economy and labor growth depend heavily on immigration, uses a highly successful points-based system called the General Skilled Migration program. A job offer from an Australian employer, while helpful, is not required.

Testing an Injection for HIV Prevention
Could you ward off HIV with an injection?
It's possible. HIV/AIDS researchers are testing an injectable version of a drug normally used to treat people already infected by the virus. Their hope is to develop a long-lasting version that may be given to people who aren't HIV-positive, but are at high risk of becoming so.
Three clinical trials have shown that antiretroviral drugs may help prevent uninfected people from acquiring HIV — a method known as "pre-exposure prophylaxis," or PrEP. But HIV/AIDS experts are debating how and when they should be used, as the WSJ reports.
Some are worried people won't stick with taking a pill every day — the form of drug used in clinical trials thus far. One organization, the AIDS Healthcare Foundation, has filed a petition urging the Food and Drug Administration not to approve one drug, Gilead's Truvada, for use by uninfected people. The group is concerned in part that people won't take the drug as indicated and that they'll stop using condoms or other prevention methods.
A long-lasting injectable drug could help ease some of those concerns. "One of the fundamental problems we have with PrEP is with adherence," says Carl Dieffenbach, director of the Division of AIDS at the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, part of the National Institutes of Health. "People don't take their medicines. This is one of the fundamental challenges to physicians and biomedical scientists."
Long-acting drugs — such as an injection that a patient would get every few weeks or months, rather than a daily pill — could help make PrEP more acceptable, he says. "We have to find a more forgiving PrEp."
The idea is also to offer options, as with contraception, says Stephen Becker, deputy director of the HIV division at the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, which is helping to fund development and testing of the injection. "It's providing different choices," he says, noting that injections are the most popular delivery mode for contraception in the developing world.
Using a long-acting form of the drug TMC 278, the injection could be used by both men and women, Becker says. The drug is made by Tibotec, a company owned by Johnson & Johnson. A study is underway to determine how often injections would need to be given, he says,
Adherence is of concern too for Roy Gulick, chief of infectious diseases at NewYork-Presbyterian Weill Cornell Medical Center who is researching the potential use of another existing antiretroviral drug, called maraviroc, for PrEP. Like Truvada, it would be a once-a-day pill treatment, but with a less commonly used AIDS drug – which could help ease worries about the development of drug resistance, he says.
In a trial funded by the NIH and scheduled to begin this year at 12 sites across the U.S., investigators will monitor closely whether participants are taking the drug properly. "We're going to ask people, are you taking your pills. We're going to do pill counts," says Gulick. They'll also use a pill box that sends an electronic message to a server every time it's opened, and "will use texting to ask people in random fashion if they've been taking their pills," he says.

Prospects for Selling Ireland's "Family Silver"
Corporate financiers seeking to value the individual bits of the €3 billion in state assets the Irish government Wednesday said it will privatize have much of their work already done for them.
Advisers would be well advised to go to the website of Ireland's finance ministry and seek out the Review Group on State Assets & Liabilities, a report written by a group led by University College Dublin economist Colm McCarthy for the finance ministry last April.
It provides much fascinating detail on the financial performance of almost every state-owned company here over the past several years.
And much of what is in Mr McCarthy's report could be tailored (and save Ireland paying out huge amounts in advisory fees) as a prospectus to potential investors for the forthcoming sales.
Wednesday, the government said it had struck a detailed deal with its European Union and International Monetary Fund bailout lenders for assets it will put up for sale.
Political opponents say it has been forced to sell "the family silver" by the bailout troika at a time when it is not a good time to be selling such assets around the world.
It plans to sell the power-generation capacity of the Electricity Supply Board, or ESB, — the country's largest energy firm; parts of gas company Bord Gais; and will "consider" disposing of some of its forestry firm Coillte, but not its extensive lands.
However, the coalition government has dropped a proposal to keep ESB intact and sell a minority stake in the energy firm because of regulatory concerns, while the government won't sell the country's gas inter-connectors with the U.K., and its distribution lines will also remain in state ownership.
It will start talks with labor unions about the sales. It also said the government has formally decided to sell its 25% stake in airline Aer Lingus Group, but only when market conditions improve.
Ryanair Holdings has in the past said it may sell its near-30% stake in Aer Lingus if the government were to sell its stake in the airline.
Overall, what the government has decided to sell off are the broad recommendations the McCarthy report made a year earlier.
The government has though pledged that a third of the €3 billion in privatization receipts will be sued to boost jobs, and not just to pay down debt But analysts say that Ireland's state-owned sector is relatively small.
It therefore offers relatively few opportunities anyway to raise large sums from privatizations. It is clear there is no major bonanza to be had from selling the family silver.


text: Howdy all, I have had a water feature of some sort in my yard for close to 20 years. Different types of baths, heated in winter, small fountains etc. If you feed birds and enjoy having them on your property this IS a no-brainer. You WILL attract birds that may otherwise pass you by. After reading Tom's post it got me thinking, how much of a difference it can make. In the past I managed a Wild Bird Center ( approx 10 years ago ) and sold plenty of baths and small fountains and pond kits. My customers would return with great results. It does work. I have learned a few things over the years as well. If considering a water feature, moving water works well period. I believe even the shimmering, moving water will catch the eye of a passer by. Different speeds at different spots will enhance this. This also keeps the water from going stagnant, attracting mosquito's, growing algae and just not being pleasant in general. Keep it Clean..... Multiple depths for smaller and larger birds is just as important. I have seen many Warblers, Finches and Sparrows enjoy water less than an inch deep. Where the Grosbeaks, Orioles and Robins enjoying closer to two inches. This is not a rule, only an observation. I'm surprised that in deeper water I have not seen Crows, Hawks or other large birds at all. Which frequent my property. Maybe I'm just not around at the right time. Cover is very important. Birds are extremely vulnerable bathing and even drinking. A get away is important, without serving as an ambush point. I have found that cover growing close to the water but not completely overgrown is a big benefit. Butterfly bush has worked well. With a come in and perch spot that isn't over grown, I have had multiple Warblers ( 16 at one time during migration ) and other small neo-tropics at the same time going back and forth from these. Statistics : I have been keeping tight records of Yard Birds since I moved onto my Property in Farmington in August of 2004. And have seen a total to this date of 133 species. 63 of these have visited my water feature, which is a small upper pond of only 115 gallons a 40 foot stream at varying depths and speeds and a larger bottom pond of less than 1000 gallons. I attribute only 9 species to visiting my property ONLY because of the water feature. This may seem like a small percentage however the times I have seen a Mourning Warbler ( 3 times at the water versus 1 time at any other point on the property ) puts it into perspective. Having a Canada Warbler and Cerulean Warbler only at the water makes me happy I put the effort into it. There are cautions also. I had to help a young squirrel out of it once. I have taken birds to warm up / dry out in winter that were not smart enough, not to bathe in winter. Flying from the water to freeze up quickly. Lucky I was home. I'm sure this also has happened when I wasn't. However I believe the benefits of accessible water in winter out-ways the negative effects. I have also enjoyed many Mammals, Butterflies, Dragonflies, Frogs and others using the pond. Of course this is a nice way to see them up close and doesn't hurt for photo opportunities. Still waiting for the Indigo Bunting to land on the Water Hyacinth again. Hopefully I will have my camera ready. If you can have water of any sort out, do it. You won't be disappointed. I know as I write this the 20 or so White-throated Sparrows passing through are enjoying it. Still waiting for a Western Tanager here. Blaine Seeliger Dakota Co Avocet13 at charter.net

Fed Makes No Mention of Japan
Federal Reserve policy statements are supposed to outline the forces that will drive monetary policy over coming months, so while it wasn't unexpected, it's nevertheless puzzling central bankers omitted the biggest risk of all: Japan.
It is true economists are still trying to come to terms with the fluid and very unpredictable course of events coming out of Japan in the wake of last week's earthquake and tsunami, which has turned into a humanitarian catastrophe and metastasizing nuclear disaster. No forecasters can say with any reliability what impact Japan will have on the world economy, or on the U.S. economy.
And yet, for a Fed that likes to weigh all the risks to the outlook, one of the biggest ones out there is the impact Japan might have on the U.S. Economists have flagged the automotive and technology sectors as potential problem spots, but Japan's tragedy has the potential to go further and strike at financial markets. That could have knock-on effects on the growth outlook and how the Fed pursues monetary policy.
As it stands now, Fed policy makers see a recovery standing on "firmer footing" amid labor markets that are "improving gradually." While it expects inflation to remain contained, it nevertheless notes rising commodity and energy prices are "putting upward pressure" on inflation, even as policy makers see the gains as "transitory." Most Fed watchers had anticipated the Fed would say that, as much as they also saw the central bank continuing forward with its $600 billion bond-buying program.
Fed watchers looked to what the central bank said and saw it as evidence the Fed is growing more confident in the recovery. "Our expectation for a mid-2012 rate hike is not changed by this statement" and "it does point to the Fed beginning the baby steps required to exit from its current strategy," said Eric Green of TD Securities.
And yet, Japan has the potential to change this outlook, in very significant ways. For one, the powerful downdraft swamping global markets is a problem for the Fed. If stock prices fall significantly, the Fed may have to react by providing more economic stimulus. Central bank officials have pointed to the rise in equity prices since embarking on QE2 as a signature success of the policy. If stocks were to fall a lot, the impact on confidence and wealth would have to be taken into account by policy makers, given the central role officials like Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke have granted markets.
More broadly, if supply-chain disruptions proved truly profound and wounded the auto and technology industries, they could blunt or end the powerful round of growth seen over recent months. Factories, even at their relatively small share of U.S. output, have been a major engine of the recovery, so weakness there would be worrisome for the broader course of the move out of recession.
Continued Japan problems could change the Fed outlook in other ways. Fed officials Tuesday flagged their awareness of the impact energy was having on pushing up inflation. But oil prices have fallen as Japan's problems have grown. Perhaps, demand for oil will now be weaker and reduce the brewing inflation problem central bankers acknowledge.
None of this is to say there's been a big shift in the odds the Fed will continue QE2 beyond its currently stated target. But as much as anything mentioned in the Fed statement, the unacknowledged problems in Japan could be a big influence on monetary-policy decisions over coming months. Said RBS Securities analysts: "The uncertainty generated by recent developments in Japan gives the Fed even more reason to show patience. Indeed, it is possible lingering uncertainty could push back the timetable for Fed action."
Economists are currently split over the impact Japan might have on the U.S. Deutsche Bank economists said in a research note "the possible effects on the U.S. economy from the earthquake in Japan appear less damaging than the recent weakness in U.S. markets would imply."
But not everyone agrees with that view. Japanese events, along with political unrest in the Middle East, are a potential game changer, warns Bernard Baumohl of the Economic Outlook Group. "The first two weeks of March unleashed a fusillade of geopolitical and natural shocks the likes of which we haven't seen since World War II," he said, noting "the shocks will ripple through the world economy for years to come."

Economic Indicator: Destination Of Ethiopian Export
Coffee, flowers, fruits and vegetables, hides and skins, leather products, live animals, meat and meat products and spices were among the products which had recorded a significant increase in the value of export. On the other hand, cotton, textiles and garments, and tantalite ore were among those products whose export value declined during the just ended fiscal year.
According to the Ethiopian foreign trade annual, Europe, with 43.7 percent of the total share of country's export during the fiscal year 2004/05, was the leading continent of destination of Ethiopian commodities. It was followed by Asia, Africa and North and Central America, which shared 32.4, 16.1 and 6.5 percent of the total exports of Ethiopia respectively. The share of South America, Australia and Oceania at 0.2 percent each was insignificant as compared to the other countries.
A report indicated that Germany, with 16 percent share in the total export of Ethiopia, was the leading country of destination in 2004/05. It was followed by Japan, where 7.7 percent of the total export was destined. Saudi Arabia, with a share of 5.8 percent, United States of America with a share of 5.6 percent and Italy with a share of 5.5 percent are among the leading importers of Ethiopian commodities. The only African countries with a meaningful share of 5.3 percent, 3.6 percent and 3.3 percent of the total export of Ethiopia were the neighboring Djibouti, Somalia and Somaliland, respectively.
Ethiopia is a member of COMESA, a regional economic grouping of Eastern and Southern African countries. The member countries had entered into preferential trading arrangement. Accordingly, all imports of Ethiopia originate from member countries. In addition, being a member of Africa, Caribbean and Pacific (ACP) countries, Ethiopia enjoys a privilege of exporting its products to European Union member countries. As one of Africa's Least Developed Countries (LDCs) Ethiopia is also eligible to make use of the privileges provided by the United States government under its act known as the African Growth and Opportunity Act (AGOA).
The report noted that COMESA member countries, despite their proximity and preferential trading arrangement, had a very insignificant share in the total export of Ethiopia during the fiscal year 2004/05.
This can be explained, among other things, by the type of commodities the member countries trade with, which is identical in nature. Out of the total 584 million birr worth export to COMESA member countries Djibouti, the leading partner in the preferential trade area, had a share of 361.2 million birr or 61.8 percent of the total export to member countries.
Sudan with 129.5 million birr of total export of Ethiopia was the second among member countries with a share of 22.2 percent. It was followed by Egypt, Kenya and Swaziland, which had a share of 8.0 percent, 3.3 percent and 2.8 percent in the total export to COMESA member countries, respectively.
The European Union, with a total value of export estimated at 2.68 billion birr, had a share of 39 percent in the total exports of Ethiopia during the fiscal year 2004/05. Germany, Italy, the Netherlands, Belgium, the United Kingdom, Luxemburg and France were the main export destinations among the member countries, each of them having more than five percent share in total export to European Union member countries. The first two countries, Germany and Italy, had a share of 42.7 and 14.1 percent respectively in the total export to EU member states.

3 answers
A:While home outlets are mostly 120 volt, most home's main electrical panel actually have two hot connections, each one being separate 120v circuits from your utility in split phase. When you combine both hot connections in the panel using a double pole breaker and two live wires to the appliance, that is how you achieve 240 Volt connections. Any electrician should be able to look at your service panel and instantly tell you if you can support 240 volt connections.
A:No, a 240V unit cannot be plugged into a 120V outlet

This unit consumes a maximum of 112.5 amps on full power and should only be used on homes that have a service entrance of at least 200 amps.

A Raisin in the Sun
by Lorraine Hansberry
A Raisin in the Sun Dreams, Hopes, and Plans Quotes
How we cite our quotes: Citations follow this format: (Act.Scene.Line). Every time a character talks counts as one line, even if what they say turns into a long monologue.
Quote #16
Bad? Say anything bad to him? No – I told him he was a sweet boy and full of dreams and everything is strictly peachy keen, as the ofay kids say! (3.1.60)
Beneatha blames her brother's dreams for the family's downfall. She seems to think that he deserves to have bad things said to him and the rest of the family needs to stop babying him.
Quote #17
(MAMA enters from her bedroom. She is lost, vague, trying to catch hold, to make some sense of her former command of the world, but it still eludes her. A sense of waste overwhelms her gait; a measure of apology rides on her shoulders. She goes to her plant, which has remained on the table, looks at it, picks it up and takes it to the windowsill and sits it outside, and she stands and looks at it a long moment. Then she closes the window, straightens her body with effort and turns around to her children) (3.1.66)
Mama's loss of hope is expressed in her physicality and also in the casting out of her beloved little plant. She put all her faith in her son Walter, but he has sorely disappointed her. With his failure, her dreams have died.
Quote #18
Of course, baby. Ain't no need in 'em coming all the way here and having to go back. They charges for that too. (She sits down, fingers to her brow, thinking) Lord, ever since I was a little girl, I always remembers people saying, "Lena – Lena Eggleston, you aims too high all the time. You needs to slow down and see life a little more like it is. Just slow down some." That's what they always used to say down home – "Lord, that Lena Eggleston is a high-minded thing. She'll get her due one day!" (3.1.69)
Lena blames herself for dreaming too big, figuring that she was wrong to buy the house. She even seems to imply that maybe she was wrong to ever migrate north from the South in the first place. Her family has had to deal with a lot of hardship in Chicago, which makes her doubt if any of it was worth it.

LemonMeter | Dec 07, 2012 | Comments 0 |
Sherlock's Last Case is another notch in the belts of co-artistic directors Winfield and Eisenberg, and a real step forward for this already momentum-laden company.
Radomir Luza – North Hollywood-Tolca Lake Patch
A wickedly satisfying British play, loaded with saucy twists 'n' turns and plenty of chuckles … which makes the final outcome quite delicious!
Pat Taylor – Tolucan Times
But while this clever spoof has some fabulously over-the-top twists and turns, it's a wobbly vehicle. And in its current incarnation, the play simply doesn't have the kind of star power it needs to succeed.
Jennie Webb – Backstage
Larry Eisenberg directs this entertaining, little-over-two-hour mystery spoof at a fast clip. Even the background music-backed set changes move quickly and smoothly.
Gil Kaan – CultureSpotLA
As I stated above, Act One is rather chatty, but you'll get through it and get to Act Two which has more action. Director Larry Eisenberg stages the proceedings well. The scene changes between the Baker Street flat and the dank cellar are handily done thanks to Winfield's set.
Robert Axelrod – Reviewplays
Sherlock's Last Case is certainly a different and unexpected play about Sherlock Holmes and Dr.Watson, chock full of humor and performed by a superlative cast under the fine direction of Larry Eisenberg.
Carol Kaufman Segal – Stagehappenings
This tight knit team works wonders that allow its cast to shine.
Leigh Kennicott – Stagehappenings
This is a thoroughly entertaining evening of theatre.
Cathy Wayne – NoHoArtsDistrict
There have been plenty of successful reworkings of Arthur Conan Doyle's Sherlock Holmes stories, but Charles Marowitz's 1984 parody is not among them.
Philip Brandes – LA Times
Director Larry Eisenberg presides over a production that is more than adequate but less than brilliant.
Neal Weaver – LA Weekly
Though not without its shortcomings, Sherlock's Last Case may well be Santa's most welcome post-Christmas gift.
Steven Stanley – StageSceneLA
Presented by the Group Rep
At the Lonny Chapman Theatre
10900 Burbank Blvd., North Hollywood
Nov. 30–Jan. 13, 2012

Stargirl Man and The Natural World Quotes
How we cite our quotes:
Quote #1
And each night I thought of her as the moon came through my window. I could have lowered my shade to make it darker and easier to sleep, but I never did. In that moonlit hour, I acquired a sense of the otherness of things. I like the feeling the moonlight gave me, as if it wasn't the opposite of day, but its underside, its private side, when the fabulous purred on my snow-white sheet like some dark cat come in from the desert.
It was during one of these nightmoon times that it came to me that Hillari Kimble was wrong. Stargirl was real (2.41-42).
When Leo lets the moonlight into his window, he gains insights into the world around him. He feels connected, and he acquires wisdom. Thanks, nature! This occurs several times in the novel, so feel free to look for more examples of when he lets nature into his life. When he does so, does he seem improved as a person? What about when he shuts nature out of his life?
Quote #2
We said "adios" to Señor Saguaro.
On our way out, Archie said, more to me than to Kevin, I thought: "You'll know her more by your questions than by her answers. Keep looking at her long enough. One day you might see someone you know" (7.50).
Archie names a lot of things that you might not expect, like a cactus. This naming is a way of emphasizing the fact that all things are connected. Maybe everything has an identity, even the stuff in nature that lacks a brain.
Quote #3
"I lay under my sheet of moonlight. Her voice came through the night, from the light, from the stars" (15.10)
Sometimes, instead of knowledge and wisdom, Leo just feels connected to other people, specifically Stargirl. It is interesting to note the connection between her name (STARgirl) and the MOONshine, isn't' it?

GREEN BAY, Wis. (AP) -- Green Bay quarterback Brett Favre has decided to retire from the NFL after 17 seasons. The Hall of Fame-bound quarterback told an ESPN reporter that he's "tired mentally."
Favre played 17 years in the NFL and leaves as one of the game's most celebrated signal callers. During this past season he set several league records, including most touchdown passes. After a dismal season in 2006, Favre and the Packers rebounded to a 13-and-3 record in 2007. They lost to the eventual NFL champion New York Giants in the NFC title game.
During the recently concluded season, Favre extended his quarterback-record streak of consecutive regular-season starts to 253 games. Add in the playoffs and Favre's streak stands at 275 games. He retires with 61,655 yards passing and 442 touchdowns.
Packers general manager Ted Thompson says Favre "had one of the greatest careers in the history of the National Football League." He added that the 38-year-old is walking away from the game on his own terms.
The retirement comes as a surprise to many Packer fans as in mid January he told the Sun Herald paper in his hometown of Biloxi, Mississippi, that he "would like to continue longer."

Hopi Vice Chair Honanie encourages students to continue education
Hopi High Principal Glenn Gilman and Hopi Vice Chairman Herman Honanie take a break after discussing the needs of Hopi High students. Photo/Stan Bindell
By Stan Bindell
Hopi Vice Chairman Herman Honanie spoke to Hopi High School (HHS) seniors urging them to further their education so they might become doctors, lawyers and teachers.
Honanie, speaking to the students in the HHS library Jan. 14, told them to dream big and pursue their goals.
"Never underestimate yourself," he said. "Keep your sights in mind and be focused. Nobody should tell you it's too hard."
Honanie told the students they should use technology to succeed. He noted that there is a lot of unemployment on the Hopi reservation because of a lack of jobs and a lack of college training. He said to get hired, applicants often need a college education.
Honanie, 57, said he is proud that his wife, his youngest son, his daughter and himself all graduated from the
University of Arizona
. He earned a Bachelor of Arts in political science. His oldest son is in the Navy.
"Once you get an education, nobody can take it away from you," he said. "We need to come back to be doctors, lawyers, teachers, but it will take a lot of hard work, which is why it's the greatest feeling in the world (when you accomplish it)."
Anna Masayesva, staff assistant to the vice chairman, told the seniors that she was in their shoes about 15 years ago. She recalled that Hopi High Principal Glenn Gilman was once her social studies teacher in junior high.
Masayesva asked the seniors how they will contribute to their community. She said the Hopi reservation needs plumbers and mechanics for those who want to go to trade schools.
"Remember you're responsible for what you do," she said.
The students responded positively to the vice chairman's advice.
Jacklynn Harding said the vice chairman's speech was accurate.
"He said things that I always hear from my parents and grandparents," Harding said.
Harding is considering majoring in musical engineering or animation.
Alexis Mooya said that, after listening to the vice chairman, she wants to extend her education. She is considering majoring in forestry or nursing. She wants to start at either Mesa Community College or Coconino Community College.
Lorencita Qumyintewa said she is considering joining the Army or Marines or going to culinary school. Her long-range goal is to become a doctor or lawyer.

text: Forecasting exchange rates is rather like peering at tea leaves: many clever people get it wrong more than is the norm in financial markets, where the standard is high. The analogy is especially appropriate at the moment. Many pundits think it only a matter of time before China revalues its currency, the yuan, up; some even think it will let its currency float. Speculators (hedge funds and banks) are out in force. The reason has less to do with domestic considerations in China than with strong-arming from America, which thinks that the Middle Kingdom is competing unfairly by keeping its currency pegged low to the dollar, and is therefore flooding the world with cheap goods which exacerbate deflationary pressures. They make things a lot cheaper in China.

Amazon.com seems to be back up. A bit slow, but functional. All in all, the site was down for 3 hours, which is very very long for a gigantic online retailer to be down these days. [Amazon]
Now I know we were trying to quantify how much it costs to be down per minute, but wouldn't you say that most people who would have bought something during that time would just wait and do it when it came back?
I hope Amazon's CEO doesn't join the ones from Starbucks, Motorola and Jet Blue (discussed below) because of this…
I thought it was down but I thought my computer was just crazy. I've been having issues with the latest firefox 3 beta on my MBP.
Hehe true, but one of their "lightning" deals started and expired within the period.
Based on what I read on my stock broker website, a rep from Amazon made it sound like it was planned down time. Can't possibly be true. Why would you down your whole business?
1) Down your whole business
3) Profit!
It's up here in Florida. Err, wait, wrong thread. *rolls eyes*
From what I saw, it went down right around the time they released the Metal Gear Solid 4 PS3 which a bunch of people were waiting for. I have a feeling that's what brought it down.
IMDB is still down, so amazon isn't entirely up yet… They fixed their most important part first… I'm sure there might be intermittent interruptions for the next couple of days though
@GenXCub: Partially true, but you may be overestimating people's patience and underestimating how much the instant gratification aspect adds to Amazon's sales. A good portion of those turned away customers may have immediately looked to the new available online retailer.
Your website asplode!
@spartan789: I was thinking the exact same thing. Around 1:00pm EST I kept hitting refresh on the MGSIV PS3 bundle until the option to preorder appeared. After I placed my order at 1:01pm I went back into my account settings to make sure everything looked good and the site was r-e-a-l-l-y slow brining up the page. I decided to try later and when I did after ten minutes, the site was completely down. I think it's too much of a coincidence that the site went down mere minutes after they were offering preorders on the bundle. A lot of people, myself included, were waiting for this to finally make a "next gen" console purchase this generation.
@ChChChacos: Amazon.com's worked fine from here when I was trying to access it. Using a PC 'though… maybe it's a Mac-only problem.
I think my friend tried to access and buy amazon when it was down. He was saying at work today that when he tried to load their homepage he got banned because he was a robot.
Clearing his cache and trying a different browser didn't allow him to get to the site. He did email them about the problem.
@PhiCancri: Many video game sites are reporting this is a possible cause of the Amazon outage.
@GenXCub: That's what I'd do. I'm patient.
@spartan789: Makes a lot of sense. Although, with Amazon being as big as they are, one would think that they would have enough servers set up so they could handle an increase in traffic.

I'm trying to set up wordpress on my mac to locally test my themes. I set up MAMP, created my database, and downloaded and installed wordpress in the htdocs folder of MAMP. Everything was perfect— after installing wordpress, I could login to my dashboard and play around with the themes just as I wanted.
But after I closed everything out for the day and tried to resume the next day, when I tried to login to the localhost dashboard, it's trying to make me install wordpress again. I'm not sure why it's doing that since it was working perfectly yesterday. So I tried to download it again and of course it gave me this huge error message saying it's already installed and that I should just login. So I try to login and nothing happens. It just stays on that same page, even when I clicked on the 'forgot password' link nothing happened.
So I tried everything I could think of to fix it: clearing all the cookies, reinstalling wordpress and basically doing everything over again, but nothing works. I'm completely lost, so if anyone can be of any help I'd be grateful!
