BALTIMORE (AP) - Kentucky Derby winner Orb has drawn the rail in Saturday's Preakness and has been installed an overwhelming even-money favorite in the nine-horse race.
Orb will seek to keep alive his bid to become horse racing's first Triple Crown winner since Affirmed in 1978. Orb won the Derby by 2½ lengths as the betting favorite.
The brown colt is looking for his sixth straight victory as part of the smallest Preakness field since 2007. Govenor Charlie, trained by Bob Baffert, added his name to the list Wednesday for the 1 3/16th-mile race.
The field, from the rail, with odds in parenthesis: Orb, Goldencents (8-1), Titletown Five (30-1), Departing (6-1), Mylute (5-1), Oxbow (15-1), Will Take Charge (12-1), Govenor Charlie (12-1) and Itsmyluckyday (10-1).
The Preakness Stakes will be broadcast live on News Channel 5 Saturday evening.

It's a bit early in the cycle, but it feels like these rumors about an Apple "smartwatch" are snowballing a bit faster this time around than Apple HDTV rumors. Remember, rumors of the latter have come and gone at least since 2006.
The watch chatter feels different, and I think it's because the press actually has room to talk. Most reasonable Apple HDTV discussions quickly hit a brick wall of "HDTV margins have been terrible for years and the Apple TV already does it all besides apps which you don't need a full TV for anyway so I give up." If they don't, they should.
But a watch is different. There's mystery, questions, and arguably worthwhile or just plain fun speculation to be had. At the cynical end of the spectrum, Apple fans and the news-hungry press just get to say something besides "Apple HDTV" for a change. But there is more to talk about here.
Like music and other media, the watch industry has been in decline for a while, thanks (not at all ironically) in part to the smartphone. Could Apple once again become the
caped hero and help save another industry in distress? Is the fictitious Apple Watch "inspired" by the third-party watch bands that appeared for the 6th gen iPod nano? Will it have ARM inside, and could it run apps? Can we configure it on-device or will it need an iPhone, iPad, Mac, or PC to setup and change settings? Will it have any kind of wireless tech? Can it play media? Will it include a pedometer and cut off the Fitbit, Nike Fuelband, and every similar device at the knees? Will we be able to get it in (PRODUCT) RED?
Tinkering with the possibility that there's something to these rumors, wearable tech is a great candidate for the next big thing, and a Next Big Thing that ties into the Previous Big Thing is a revenue double-whammy. Just look at the iPod, iPhone, and even iPad. We needed a computer for at least their initial setup for nearly a decade, so why not a Mac? Today, if Apple's smartwatch needs something else for setup, why not an iPhone, iPad, or, sure if you really want, even a Mac?
This is partly why I think Google blew its load way, way, way too early by previewing Project Glass. Everyone's chasing this stuff, and Google wanted to toss its name into the hat and intrigue potential customers before companies with real consumer hardware experience have a chance to get a dominating lead.
Looking back again at the history of the iPod, iPhone, and iPad, Apple likes to iterate. It starts small and focuses on an attainable idea it can meaningfully tackle within the constraints of time, budget, and resources. If the idea takes off, it expands on the idea but doesn't lose focus. That's just how Apple rolls, and it's partly why so many consumers love its products.
If wearable tech is The Next Big Thing, a watch is a great, focused canvas on which to start small. Unlike HDTVs, the smartwatch industry has not already been carved to pieces by a bunch of dominant competitors who starved each other of margins and innovation long ago. In fact, there aren't any notable smartwatches to speak of—kinda like another market Apple just walked into six years ago.

Spinning Videos
Here we've gathered a collection of videos dedicated to spinning. If you need inspiration or just curious to see how the others do it, check the videos below.
People seem to do some really creative stuff to keep their spinning sessions interesting! They spin on top of buildings, in disco clubs, sing while spinning and so on. Check them out you will get either inspired or at least entertained!
Here is an extremly inspiring spinning video from Brasil!
They spin on the top of a scyscrapper like there is no tomorrow!
A short demo how they do it in Europe! Disco style!
There is even a song dedicated!
And some people go as far as doing spinning karaoke class…
Spinning Classes
Spinning – You Can Make This A Classy Act
Go take a Spinning Class – this is a great way to meet like-minded new people –albeit – sweaty, and get to burn off the calories and tone up the muscles.
Let's set the scenario: There you are, in a room, the lights are low, music is pumping out at a great rate of decibels; you are pedalling fast and faster and acting on the instructor's commands. Commands like:
"Off your saddles, people, we're going uphill."
Along with your fellow spinners, you rise and then pedal faster as if indeed, you were going uphill.
These are some of the joys of taking a spinning class. The great thing too, is you're not doing this solo. You'll get sympathy and no doubt give sympathy to from and to your fellow 'sufferers."
Spinning classes are a relatively new phenomenon, where you join in a group and workout for about 30-75 minutes. Qualified instructors guide you through a series of exercises from warm-up to cool down.
These exercises are determined by things such as:
- Cadence or pedal rate
- Adjustment of the bike's flywheel to suit the rate of ease of difficulty.
- The rider's body position – seated or unseated.
By taking the classes, you can be assured of:
- An effective workout.
- All year and all –season training.
- A variety of interesting routines.
- A program to suit you. (After all you're paying for it)
A good instructor will help you make the classes beneficial for you
And enjoy a good vigorous workout.
Here is one you can use at home!
Here is how they do it around the world:
Spinning Shoes
Indoor Spinning Shoes
Fitter Feet and A Fitter You
Spinning – or exercise biking – has gained popularity right across the globe. This is a fairly unparallel regime of exercises, carried out by like-minded people on exercise bikes, under the supervision of a qualified instructor. Let's face it, bike riding, either on the road, or in the exercise center, can be pretty uncomfortable at the best of times but luckily it can be made easier by adopting the right gear.
Take shoes for example. There are many kinds of spinning shoes made available for men and women. These shoes are different from, let's say, running tennis or even everyday shoes.
Spinning shoes have nice, firm soles which become attached to the pedals and help you pull back the pedals whilst spinning.
Do I Really Need Spinning Shoes:
Short answer is yes you do. Sure, other sports shoes are okay too; however, if you're dead serious about becoming a spinner, it is advisable to purchase an appropriate set of the right spinning shoes. Silly as this might sound, but wearing the wrong type of shoes for spinning is probably akin to a baseball catcher wearing skiing gloves.
Simple; for an effective workout and have the leg muscles being exercised effectively, indoor spinning shoes are advisable.
It's not our place to advise you on brands, just to let you know that to benefit entirely from your spinning workouts – the right gear – and we mean shoes are the go.
Here is a bit more info:
Here are few models just to get good visual idea:

"At Long Last! Discover the 1 Minute Hair Makeover which Can Help You Appear Ten Years Younger! – Keratin Hair Fibre"
Whilst you wait for your hair loss reversing products to take effect (either the Scientia Hair Laser Brush or Scientia Skin and Scalp Roller), you can now appear to have a significantly fuller head of hair in less than a minute. What's more, with Keratin Hair Fibre, no one will see that the hair is not your own – even from just a few inches away.
Regain your confidence and feel great about yourself with Keratin Hair Fibre!
Scientia Hair Fibers are a product of the latest cosmetic science. They are microscopic strands of totally natural organic keratin which sticks to your existing hair via static electricity to mix naturally and undetectably with your existing hair.
Your hair will automatically look to be more dense and thicker, with a lot less scalp visibility – helping you to look up to ten years younger. The most incredible part is, because these microscopic hair building fibers are completely natural organic keratin, the colour can't come out, run or stain.
Scientia hair fibers are resistant to wind, sweat, rain or a multitude of other usual daily activities. You simply sprinkle it over your head when you style your hair in the morning, use the specially formulated keratin fiber locking mist and the effect will last throughout the day.
Immediately you will observe a dramatic increase in density, coverage and volume of your receding and balding patches.
This innovative product can be used by both men and women and is available in seven different colours in order to mix undetectably with your existing hair colour.
So whether you suffer from very fine hair, male pattern baldness, premature hair loss, receding hairline or a bald spot, Scientia Hair Building Fibres offer an ideal cosmetic solution.
But don't simply take our word for it, check out what other users of our hair thickening fibers had to say:
"It was as if I had a hair transplant in 15 seconds! Simply Amazing"
Jonathan Baard – Toronto, ON
"I am downright ecstatic that Scientia Hair Building Fibers do exactly what you say. It was so easy to use; the results were immediate and amazing. My thinning hair was completely reversed before my eyes, and no one was able to tell the difference"
Victor Jones – Brampton, ON.
"I have been using Scientia Hair Fibers for the past few weeks, I can't believe how easy it is to use and how spectacular the results are. It takes me 30 seconds every morning, and the results last all day!"
Mike Oswald – Newmarket, ON
"Scientia transformed me into a new person, after just one application. I am so glad that I have this brilliant product to change my outlook on my life"
Mark Walters – Mississauga, ON
How should I use Keratin Hair Fibre?
To use Scientia Hair Replacement Fibre, simply hold the container over the spot you would like to treat and shake it gently. In mere seconds, several hundred color matched hair replacement fibres will securely bond to your existing hairs. Even the ultrafine villus hairs (which are nearly invisible usually) will end up with a covering of electrostatically charged hair replacement fibres, making them seem to be ordinary hair. Simply shake the container 4 to 5 inches above your hair.
You may then style your hair like you would normally. To lock the Thickening Fibres in place, you may use the Scientia hair locking mist we supply for use with the fibers. Your favourite kind of hairspray may also work, but our fiber locking mist has been specifically designed to achieve the most impressive results.
Scientia Thickening Fibre will attach themselves so immovably that they will remain in place day or night, even in the most powerful wind. Exercise will not be a problem either, because the fibers are resistant to sweat and rain. To remove Scientia Hair Replacement Fibres, just wash them away with your ordinary shampoo.
Are Scientia Replacement Fibers safe to use?
Of course! Our 100 percent organic keratin formula will never irritate the skin of your scalp or cause any other problems. Your natural hair is made of keratin protein, and the application of the Scientia Hair Fibers is undetectable to your skin.
Will hair thickener fibres affect my natural hair growth?
No! Keratin hair fibers can be used in harmony the use of any hair thickening product by concealing the afflicted area whilst your natural hair is actually being repaired over time. We would recommend that you use a Scientia Derma Roller or Scientia Hair Laser for the process of hair restoration and then Scientia Hair Fibers to look and feel great as you wait for your hair to improve.
There have been more than 2500 clinical studies carried out with beneficial results for low-level laser therapy, so the Scientia Hair Laser is without question the best match for Scientia Hair Fibers if you want immediate and lasting results.
Can the Scientia Hair Thickening Fibers get on my clothes?
Scientia Hair Building are very easy to use and is unlikely to fall onto your clothes. But even if they do, you can just dust them off with your hands and watch them disappear without any residue.
But what about if my hair gets wet, due to rain or snow?
The instant that the Scientia Hair Thickening Fibers have been applied, the electrostatically charged keratin fibres bond fast to your natural hair. Due to this fact, powerful wind, strong rainfall or even snow cannot make them leak, detach or become visible in any other way. Just shower the hair fibres out when you're ready.
What about exercise?
Absolutely. Sweat or vigorous activity will not make the Scientia Hair Fibers come out, stain, or be visible in the slightest.
What if I want to sleep with Scientia Hair Thickening Fibers still in my hair?
Yes. That won't be a problem at all. You may find a tiny amount of fibers on your pillow, but all you have to do is dust them off with your hands and they will disappear.
Can I run my hands through my hair?
Certainly! Scientia Hair Fibres disperse evenly throughout your hair, wherever you choose to have them. Once they have bonded with your hair and you have them fixed with the Scientia Locking Mist, running your hands through your hair will not cause any problems.
Are Scientia Hair Fibres Visible?
We have personally experienced the fact that you can look at a head treated with Scientia Hair Fibres even from a few inches away and still you won't be able to tell that it isn't natural, healthy hair. Even your stylist or barber won't notice it. One of the members of our team is a former West-End and Central London Hair Stylist, and she was astounded at how authentic the Hair Fiber product was. So much so in fact, that she couldn't tell that it wasn't real hair!
Are Scientia Hair Fibers Unique?
Be wary of inferior knock-offs which use cheaper materials rather than one hundred per cent organic keratin. Some hair thickening fibre kinds contain rayon, cotton, nylon or other non-keratin materials. Some of these have the potential to irritate your skin, or the colour can run. If you hope to have healthier, fuller-looking hair with realistic volume and no noticeable product, then always buy Scientia Hair Fibers.
Also watch out for 10g or 12.5g bottles – we provide Scientia Hair Fibers in 25g containers so that you can get more fibers for your money.
Is there a Scientia Hair Thickening Fibers money back guarantee?
Yes. The same as our Scientia Derma Rollers and Scientia Hair Laser, we give a results-based money back guarantee. The Scientia hair fibres will lessen the visibility of your balding patches, or your money back.
Could this product be unsuitable for anyone?
The Scientia Hair Fiber product is intended to thicken thinning hair. If your scalp is utterly smooth, i.e. it doesn't have some degree of thin villus hairs, then there will be no anchor for the Scientia Hair Thickening Fibers to bond to. Even if your hair is really thin, that is still fine. It is only utterly hairless patches which cannot have total unnoticeable coverage.
"I have a strain of Lupus that caused me to lose an awful lot of hair. Scientia Hair Fibers made me look like the same woman I was 10 years ago. I am the same woman again with much more confidence, thanks to you!"
Brittany Haley – Vancouver, BC
What colours of of hair fibers are available?
The following Scientia Hair Fiber colors are available: Black, Dark Brown, Medium Brown, Light Brown, Blonde, Auburn and Grey.
How long does a container of Scientia Hair Fibers last?
For obvious reasons, that depends upon how much coverage is needed for each person, but each 25 gram container is expected to last at least fifty days but for possibly as long as 65 days. We approximate 45 to 65 applications per 25 gram container of Scientia Hair Fibers depending on the degree of the hair loss.
Which countries do you deliver to?
We ship worldwide, and mail orders the same day if ordered on a weekday by 3 PM. UK hair fibres customers should get their the next day, European hair fibres customers should receive their items within 2 to 3 days, USA hair fibers customers (and all other countries) should get their goods within 5 days.
Do you offer an auto ship program?
Absolutely. Purchase your goods on a monthly auto ship program for significant discounts. If you prefer, you can, just purchase whenever you would like to replenish your stock.
"Since I started using Scientia Hair Fibers, I don't think about my hair loss, and my self-esteem and confidence has increased tenfold"
James Kan – Burlington, ON

Novice knitter
When I start to knit a pattern I choose the size I am going to knit, then put a circle around the size. Then read the first bit of pattern and usually even the cast on numbers of stitches are for each size. The first number relates to the first size, and then count how many spaces you chose from the first number in sizes, and circle, say if you chose the third size in, then you would mark the third number in on the cast on stitches, likewise as you read the pattern and knit, any instruction that appears in the pattern, choose the third one in and circle that. Even if you stop marking the pattern after a while cause you are happy with which size marker to knit, often when I resume knitting, I forget, and can go back to the top of pattern and see what size I am meant to be knitting. Hope this helps. Cheers from Australia

The Michigan Department of Human Services received federal approval to remove college attendance as an exception for food assistance, a move that will cut bridge card benefits for many students in the next few months.
"Students are not eligible for food assistance programs except in very limited circumstances," Maura Corrigan, the Director of the Michigan Department of Human Services said.
DHS says those circumstance include a students participation in an on-the-job training program, being physically or mentally unable to work and having young children at home. As many as 20,000 students could have their benefits dropped with this announcement.
"We want to show Gov. Rick Snyder's and my commitment to having true integrity in our Food Assistance Programs in Michigan," Corrigan said.
This announcement comes a week after Rep. Joe Haveman introduced a bill targeting bridge card abuse. Haveman says this abuse was brought to his attention by his daughter when she was a freshman in college.
"She couldn't believe how many people she knew coming from the same middle class family as I am who had these bridge cards," Haveman said. "She even realized that it was not what was meant for bridge cards or for any welfare program."
DHS says being a college student in itself is not enough to qualify them for the Food Assistance Program a rule they will start enforcing in April. Haveman says their taking a step in the right direction and sending an important message to students.
"There is no free lunch," Haveman said. "They may have thought that they were getting free food but that money was coming from the tax payer."
Students can expect to receive notification in the mail if their benefit status changes.

By kevinschmidt on Sep 18, 2009
- Joltid vs. Skype: Is there a workaround? - How can eBay have exposed themselves to this?
- Google Docs tool used by 20% of companies - "The study's main finding is that about 1-in-5 companies reported that Google Docs is "widely used" in their workplace, however possibly as a complement to Microsoft Office." But if you are just looking for a free alternative to Microsoft Office, try OpenOffice.
- Do you really need Office? Really? If the Feds don't, do we? - "For 95% of what we do, though, Apps does the trick quite nicely and allows people to work together in really nice ways."
- Android vs Maemo - Interesting read for those that haven't heard of Maemo (Nokia's Linux based OS).

Moving toward a transportation system that fuels healthy people and a healthy planet.
By Jack McCornack
MAX, 100 mpg, streamlining, gas mileage, nose, fiberglass, mold, fenders, Jack McCornack
This is what I should have done the first time, but I was so busy DIY-ing that I neglected that Ye Olde Custom Car Techniques are the best way to make car parts ONLY if you only want to make one part. Why would I ever want to make another one, you may well ask, and I would roll my eyes and say, "Well, duh!" as if I knew it all along. So here are three good reasons:
1. I might want to make another streamlined MAX.
2. You might want to make a streamlined MAX of your own.
3. I might do something stupid such as back into a mountain at a high rate of speed, and might need replacement rear fenders. Again.
Armed with the wisdom of experience (who says you can't teach an old dog new tricks?) I began tooling a permanent mold so we could pop out fenders like cookies, though of course with fewer raisins.
The first step is to make a pattern, which is merely a full scale model of the fender, made with care and precision but without much concern for weight. Also, to make the right and left symmetrical, I cleverly made both fender patterns as one piece and cut them in half when I was done. Before I got to the cutting in half phase of the operation, kibbitzers and hecklers said things like "That's sure going to be a narrow car" but I got used to it.
Next step was to apply a mold release to the pattern, so the mold wouldn't permanently bond itself to the pattern...ah, mold making isn't news, it's the same process I did on the nose last June. This was slightly complicated by a bit of "backdraft" which called for two part molds, but otherwise it was a walk in the park. A long walk, and it does take more time than making a one-off custom part, but only about twice as much time and that's just for the first part. The next fender will only take a tenth as long.
The second photo shows the finished molds, with parts laid up inside them, waiting to cure (that is, for the liquid resin to become solid resin).
And at last, the moment of truth! The mold is disassembled and the part popped out; an inside-out replica of the mold, which was an inside-out replica of the pattern. Now I can make as many cookie-cutter fenders as I want (and if I really wanted to, I could add raisins, but naah). Now all I have to do is get these fenders mounted in time for the Mother Earth News Fair in Puyallup. Yikes, that's next weekend! I'd better sign out and get to work.

TUESDAY, April 23 (HealthDay News) -- Surveying the food options before eating and using a smaller plate could result in less trips to the buffet at all-you-can-eat restaurants and buffets, according to a research letter published in the April issue of the American Journal of Preventive Medicine.
Brian Wansink, Ph.D., and Mitsuru Shimizu, Ph.D., from Cornell University in Ithaca, N.Y. analyzed data recorded by 30 trained observers relating to the demographic characteristics and behavior of 303 diners (165 men, 158 women) at 22 selected all-you-can-eat Chinese buffet restaurants in six states in Spring 2008.
The researchers found that those who served themselves immediately on reaching the buffet made significantly more trips than those who surveyed the options first. Diners who used a larger plate also made significantly more trips than those who used a smaller plate. These associations remained significant after controlling for body mass index (BMI). Diners who faced the buffet made more trips than those facing away, although the effect was no longer significant after adjustment for BMI.
"Serving oneself immediately and using a larger plate may result in more trips and more eating, which could eventually influence BMI," write the authors. "As with all observational studies, association does not indicate causation. Yet, these observations provide ecologic validity to the contextual factors that have influenced food intake in controlled lab settings."

Illegal fireworks fill void left by no city display
Dear Editor (7-4-13)
I couldn't help but hear all the illegal fireworks going off on Fourth of July evening near downtown San Jose. If America's 10th-largest city is too cheap to put on a fireworks display for the citizenry, what can one expect?
Celeste McGettigan

Lots of explosions, but no sense of holiday
My neighborhood has better firework displays than San Jose use to have downtown. What part of "illegal fireworks" do people not understand? Displays blasted my neighborhood, and many nearby neighborhoods, for hours. Huge fireworks going over 100 feet in the air. I did try to call 311 but got a busy signal. I had called 311 twice in the last two weeks about M80s going off every night but, alias, no police were ever seen patrolling my neighborhood leading up to tonight. How sad that most of these people exploding these fireworks obviously don't understand what this day means to America. Obey the laws; that would help everyone to have a safe and enjoyable Fourth of July.

Mature immigration debate needed in House
Let's hope the House does better than the Senate when it debates comprehensive immigration reform. Instead of tinkering with the number of Border Patrol agents, they could ask: Should the United States more than double the number of legal immigrants while unemployment remains high? They could also consider: Why offer citizenship? Wouldn't green cards, giving lifetime permission to stay, and work, with citizenship for one's children, and forgiveness of the trespass, be enough? A mature debate would serve the country better than posturing about peripheral matters.

Statistics don't work when measuring need
Paul Roderick Gregory (Opinion, July 2) is engaged in one of man's oldest exercises in moral philosophy: the search for a moral justification for selfishness (from J.K. Galbraith). He wants us to think we're spending too much on school lunches and food stamps for children while he ignores subsidies to millionaire farmers that come out of the same bill. He sounds like a man who feels guilty about having a lot of money while children are going hungry. He comes up with phony statistics to convince himself he's a good person. But, we all know statistics are even worse than damned lies.
Bob Downs
Brown, Harris tried to silence majority
Not to argue for or against gay marriage, but it is true that the voices of millions of people who voted for Proposition 8 were silenced with "no standing" before the Supreme Court because Gov. Jerry Brown and Attorney General Kamala Harris refused to advocate for what a majority voted. Supporters of the winning vote did not get a chance to put their argument before the Supreme Court. So, it's government "of the people, by the people and for the people," except when two people, Gov. Brown and Attorney General Harris, say no.

USC vs. Louisville
If you were expecting a close simulation, I'm sorry to disappoint you. In the first real blowout of the tournament, USC throttled Louisville 68-50. Mayo scored 14 points and dished out seven assists to lead USC into the field of 16. Now things are going to get really good.
1. UCLA vs. 16. USC
The Trojans took on their in-state and Pac-12 rivals in this one. In case you're wondering why the Bruins are the No. 1 seed, think about this alumni roster: Russell Westbrook, Kevin Love, Darren Collison, Trevor Ariza, Arron Afflalo, Matt Barnes and more.
Because of Collison's presence, Westbrook gets a chance to play his more natural position of 2-guard. In this highly-anticipated matchup, Westbrook would not disappoint. He led all scorers with 22 and Ariza added 17. The Bruins ended the Trojans Cinderella run with a 68-58 win. Check out this finish from Russ:
8. UNC vs. 9. Syracuse
The No. 8 vs. No. 9 is often one of the closest of the entire NCAA tournament. That wasn't the case in this one. Vince Carter's sharp shooting led the alumni Tar Heels to a 60-51 win.
It wasn't a complete blowout, but the game wasn't as close as the score would indicate.
Carter had 14 points and his team drained 6-of-11 three pointers to down Carmelo Anthony and the alumni Syracuse Orange.
No. 5 Kansas vs. No. 12 Memphis
No one was hollering at Mario Chalmers in this one. The former Kansas Jayhawks guard had an excellent day shooting the ball.
He also played good defense on Tyreke Evans to help limit the alumni Memphis Tigers. The game came down to the wire, but a late turnover cost Memphis the game. Kansas won it 57-55 to move on.
No. 4 Duke vs. No. 13 Marquette
Kyrie Irving out-dueled Dwyane Wade in this one. His 23 points led all scorers. As you can see, he put the ball in the hole in a variety of ways.
The Duke alumni won 64-60, but nine three pointers from Marquette nearly won them the game. Were it not for their long-range marksmanship, the game wouldn't have been this close.
Stay tuned for the next round of March Madness match-ups going live tomorrow.

a1 Department of Veterinary Diagnostic and Production Animal Medicine, College of Veterinary Medicine, Iowa State University, Ames, IA, USA
Pork production began to flourish in the USA after the practice of finishing pigs on corn was popularized in the late 1600s. By the 1840s, there were 35 million pigs and 20 million people in the USA and Cincinnati was the world's largest pork market. Between 1890 and the present, the total number of pigs in the USA has remained at 50–60 million, but dramatic changes in swine husbandry over the course of the 20th century have metamorphosed pig production from small, extensive (outdoor), labor-dependent enterprises into large, intensive (indoor), capital-dependent, production systems. This development has led to debate concerning the impact of swine production on animal/human health, the environment, and the welfare of the animals under our care. In a very tangible way, the future of pork production depends on effectively addressing the public's concerns regarding animal welfare and health. Here, we review basic sensory and behavioral aspects of swine with the objective of reaching a better understanding of pig behavior and pig welfare. The premise of this discussion is that safeguarding animal welfare and health is good for pigs, pork producers and the animal-conscious public.

The wooden coffin that was supposed to be John F. Kennedy's assassin Lee Harvey Oswald's final resting place, will now have a new resting place of its own after a bidder bought it at auction for $87,469.
The coffin was put on the auction block in November by a Texas funeral home owner, who swapped it with Oswald's family for a new one when Oswald's body was exhumed in 1981.
Oswald was arrested in President Kennedy's 1963 death, but was slain two days later on live television by nightclub owner, Jack Ruby.
The funeral home owner had held onto the coffin since Oswald's body was dug up in 1981, in an effort to put to rest conspiracy theories that he really wasn't in the grave. After the body was identified through dental records, it was returned to the funeral home in Fort Worth, Texas.
Because water had gotten into a cracked burial vault and damaged the original coffin, the funeral home swapped it with Oswald's family for a new one.
Lee Harvey Oswald's brother today claims that he is the rightful owner of the coffin, in which he bought and paid for, and that it should have been destroyed by the funeral home. He has asked the court to award him the $87,469 from Nate Sanders Auction House in Santa Monica, California, who sold the coffin, or the return of the coffin from the funeral home that refused to comment with me on writing this article.

|Evaluation of Analytical Methodologies for Non-Intrusive Drug Testing--Supercritical Fluid Extraction of Cocaine from Hair
|March 01, 1999
|Supercritical fluid extraction (SFE) was investigated as an environmentally friendly alternative to currently used wet chemical procedures in hair drug testing protocols. The SFE behavior of cocaine and its primary metabolite benzoylecgonine was studied and found to be highly dependent upon the nature of the matrix and the manner in which the target drug analytes are incorporated into or on the matrix. The dependence of extractability on hair/drug binding interactions allows the differentiation of cocaine present at different discrete sites in hair based on differences in SFE behavior, suggesting the potential for distinguishing exogenous (i.e., environmental) from endogenous (i.e., physiological) sources of drugs in hair by employing different SFE conditions. SFE using pure carbon dioxide was found to be superior to existing liquid decontamination methods for the removal of vapor-deposited cocaine from the surface of hair. Addition of an SFE modifier mixture containing triethylamine and water allowed the recovery of matrix-bound cocaine from hair binding sites, and extraction efficiencies compared favorably with existing liquid-based extraction procedures. Extraction times in SFE were approximately 30 min to 50 min, compared with several hours to one day for currently used liquid methods. Based on the extraction results observed on drug-fortified and drug user hair a displacement SFE mechanism is proposed in which triethylamine competes with cocaine for negatively-charged hair binding sites. The SFE results additionally provide insight into the nature of hair-drug binding interactions and lend support to a current model for drug incorporation in hair.

|An Exploration of the Operational Ramifications of Lossless Compression of 1000 ppi Fingerprint Imagery
|August 06, 2012
|This paper presents the findings of a study initially conducted to measure the operational impact of JPEG 2000 lossy compression on 1000 ppi fingerprint imagery at various levels of compression, but later expanded to include lossless compression. Lossless compression will have no impact on either Galton or non-Galton based features of a fingerprint since the compressed image is identical to the original once decompressed. The selection of a lossless compression algorithm can have operational implications in terms of effective compression performance and throughput; these implications are the focus. This study examines several such compression algorithms and compares them using criteria used to measure the effectiveness of the compression algorithm as well as its throughput using actual fingerprint imagery.

There was another thread about Citadel under AltairZ80 which sparked a
question of my own regarding the BYE_520 program. I have an IMSAI that I'm
setting up as a BBS (as an experiment for a possible display maybe at VCF).
I got myself a Hayes Smartmodem 300 and connected it to a Vector
Graphics Bitstreamer serial board (standard 8251). Everything works with
manual testing (using the SMODEM37 program on the IMSAI and dialing to a
modem connected to a Windows box running Hyperterminal). So, I know the
hardware works.
This morning I decided to try to get BYE_520 working before I chained it
to RBBS. I set the modem configuration switches per the help file but I keep
getting an "echo error" from BYE. I played with the modem switch relating to
command echo but that doesn't seem to help.
Can anyone offer some words of wisdom for getting BYE setup correctly?
I'm also not wed to using RBBS -- if someone has a better BBS idea, I'm all

Windows head Steven Sinofsky leaves Microsoft
Sinofsky was widely tipped to be in line to be the next CEO, leaves after Windows 8 launch
The executive most widely tipped to be the next chief executive of Microsoft has left barely two weeks after launching Windows 8, as CEO Steve Ballmer moved to tighten his grip on the company.
The exit of 23-year veteran Steven Sinofsky, head of Microsoft's Windows unit, is the latest - and most prominent - in a line of high-profile departures from Microsoft. It comes hard on the heels of Sinofsky unveiling Windows 8, the most radical revamp of Windows since 1995.
The move was unexpected and neither Microsoft nor Sinofsky gave an explanation, although an executive at the company, who asked not to be named, said the decision was "mutual" and said he was not expecting Sinofsky to take a job at another company soon.
"This is shocking news. This is very surprising," said Brendan Barnicle, an analyst at Pacific Crest Securities. "Like a lot of people, I thought Sinofsky was in line to potentially be Ballmer's successor."
Sinofsky, 47, joined Microsoft in 1989 and made his mark as Bill Gates' technical assistant. He grew into an uncompromising leader whose ruthless style of cutting layers of management and formalising the process of software development gave rise to the term "Sinofskyisation" in the company.
He wielded immense power as head of the Windows unit, the traditional center of Microsoft's business, but was not known for working well with other executives.
Like a lot of people, I thought Sinofsky was in line to potentially be Ballmer's successor
One former Microsoft staffer who worked with Sinofsky and other executives said his relentlessly aggressive style exasperated other leaders and may have alienated too many people, including his mentor Gates. "He had no one left to fight for him," said the staffer, who asked not to be named. "Gates gave him cover, so he must have eventually caved."
Sinofsky himself shed no light on his exit. "It is impossible to count the blessings I have received over my years at Microsoft," he said in a statement. "I am humbled by the professionalism and generosity of everyone I have had the good fortune to work with at this awesome company."
He did not announce any plans to take a job elsewhere.
Sinofsky will be succeeded by Julie Larson-Green, who will head the Windows hardware and software division, and Tami Reller, who will remain chief financial officer of the Windows unit. Together, they will report directly to Ballmer.
Leadership style
Ballmer, 56, shows no sign of leaving after almost 13 years in the job, despite almost constant criticism. He has now replaced all the leaders of Microsoft's five main operating units in the past four years.
He told employees in a memo on Monday simply that: "Steven Sinofsky has decided to leave the company."
In a later media statement, he added that it was "imperative that we continue to drive alignment across all Microsoft teams, and have more integrated and rapid development cycles for our offerings".
Sinofsky had a stellar career at Microsoft, overhauling the hugely profitable Office division before going over to manage the release of Windows 7 in 2009. That was regarded as a success and Sinofsky was then tasked with overseeing Windows 8. At the same time, Sinofsky led the development of Microsoft's Surface tablet.
Analysts said it may be too early to judge whether Windows 8 and the Surface have been a success, but Sinofsky's departure could have been tied to his abrasive management and ambition for the top job.
Sinofsky forfeited some of his bonus this year due to falling sales of Windows and Microsoft's embarrassing failure to comply with an agreement with European regulators to allow users a choice of browsers, which could cost the company millions of dollars in fines.
Apple option?
Sinofsky's departure comes two weeks after rival Apple shook up its own top management, forcing out mobile head Scott Forstall and retail chief John Browett.
One analyst cited talk that the moves might be related. "Some are speculating that the availability on the market of Forstall might have something to do with Sinofsky's departure," said Gartner analyst Carolina Milanesi. "I doubt we will have to wait long to know if this is the case."

Manchester United have announced manager David Moyes has "left the club" after less than a season in charge.
The Scotsman's 10-month reign as Sir Alex Ferguson's successor was announced on the club's Twitter feed this morning.
A statement from the club, released at 8.30am, read: "Manchester United has announced that David Moyes has left the club.
"The club would like to place on record its thanks for the hard work, honesty and integrity he brought to the role."
The former Everton manager signed a six-year contract worth £4 million a year when he replaced Ferguson last summer.
Veteran midfielder Ryan Giggs will become United's interim manager until the end of the season.
Jurgen Klopp, currently with Borussia Dortmund, Netherlands coach Louis Van Gaal, Atletico Madrid's Argentinian boss Diego Simeone and the former manager of the French national team, Laurent Blanc, have all been linked with the job on a permanent basis.

Could not care a sh-- about Manchester United

An inexperienced manager for a top flight club in Europe, £24m for 10 months work? He is hardly a victim... the only victim is the club. Fergie wasn't stupid, he wasn't going to retire until he realised he needed to go before it fails. Rooney the most over paid and overrated person in football.Van Persie, in my eyes not as good as when he was with Arsenal. overpaid for him. Ryan Giggs, a legend, but a little too old now to play competitive football (last time I saw him play for united it was painful seeing him lose the ball). Rio Ferdinand a little too big for his boots. Hernandez, de Gea, Vidic, Evra and Mata etc very average - good players - but more of a safe backup than first team material. Players like Welbeck are very promising, still up-and-coming, relatively inexperienced... not quite reaching shooting star status. A very mid-table premiership side, so although they aren't doing really well they are just above half-way.The American owners aren't really helping the situation too.

I thought this was the IPSWICH Star - so why worry about Manchester matters? Some local news that is not copied and pasted from other sources would be nice once in a while . . .
Tuesday, April 22, 2014
Don't the players take some of the blame ? If I was Moyes I would go for the money owed on the remainder of the 6 year contract ,if the club was daft enough to give him one and pay players vast sums of money to under preform it's their fault.

In your promotion elsewhere on this site for your E-edition (obviously few people are willing to pay for it) and where there is no comment box, I note you write it is "in the same layout as the print edition you love". What makes you think people "love" your print edition? Wake up and get real .... yours is the ONLY local newspaper and it is declining ....if there was a choice you would have far fewer buyers, I can assure you of that.... I listen to what people say about you whereas you filter out the negatives and believe you are great.

Just before 6:30 a.m. this morning, L.A. got a special wakeup call (or "WAKE THE HELL UP" call, as it were) courtesy of a 4.4-magnitude earthquake. The quake traveled 150 miles, but caused no major damage. It was just "par for the course," as one specialist noted.
Welcome to California.
Los Angeles residents stopped, dropped and tweeted, as we are all taught to do in emergency situations. If you follow a handful of L.A.-ers, here are the tweets that you probably saw today:
The Celebrity Who Just Tweets "#EARTHQUAKE"
Earthquake #own #wheresOprahwhenyouneedher #?? http://t.co/OTc4Zqkt6Q? Lindsay Lohan (@lindsaylohan) March 17, 2014
Absolutely pointless: The famous person who felt the earthquake and has nothing to contribute to the conversation except #earthquake. No reaction. No little anecdote. But they want to tweet! They want to be a part of post-earthquake Twitter!
So... #earthquake.
The saddest part is they will still get retweeted. Which brings us to...
The Regular Person Who Retweets "#EARTHQUAKE"
Like above, but even more useless. If that's possible.
The Person Who Thought They Were the Only One Who Felt It
OMG! Did anyone just feel that Earthquake? So scary, woke me up out of an already scary nightmare. I hate earthquakes. :(? Paris Hilton (@ParisHilton) March 17, 2014
Maybe this is meant as a rhetorical question, but here's an easy rule of thumb: If an earthquake is strong enough to wake you from a dead sleep, someone else probably felt it. You can skip the question and answer portion of the program. Just scroll down.
The Person Who Just Wants You to Know They Felt It Too
#Quake? Retta (@unfoRETTAble) March 17, 2014
You felt it. You felt it ALL. And you want everyone you know to know that you (YOU!) lived through an earthquake. This is the most emotional of all quake tweets. It's a knee-jerk tweet of survival. But you're also going to be the person who won't stop talking about it at the office. Which, OK. Calm down. Everyone is fine.
The Numbers Guy
Close, my app says 4.7 and it was under Skirball center. RT @bewmm: @kellyoxford that one felt like a 5.2.? kelly oxford (@kellyoxford) March 17, 2014
This person doesn't care where you were or how you feel about the earthquake. They want the magnitude. They want the epicenter. They want to pour over the seismographs and remind you that this wasn't The Big One. Yet.
The Person Who Thinks It's a Sign
Good morning, California! That was Me.? God (@TheTweetOfGod) March 17, 2014
Maybe it's a sign that a higher power is angry with the world and is giving us a warning quake before s/he unleashes their full wrath of fire and plagues, so on and so forth. Maybe it's a sign that you should get out of bed and get to McDonald's before breakfast hours end.

Crucial Factor in Losing Fats
I would like to share on the real mechanism for weight lost which will enable anyone to see results within 12 weeks, lose the fat you want and stay that way in the long run without the weight coming back on.
The method is actually very simple. From prehistoric time, our ancestors were built to only accumulate lean muscles, not fat as they need to constantly be out running and hunting for food. Hence, our body has actually very good fat burning mechanisms. These fat burning enzymes in our body loses their effectiveness over time as we started to take in junk food which accumulates as toxins in our body impeding their normal function of burning fats efficiently. Therefore, the most important factor to losing fat is to restore the body's fat burning mechanism to its effective state so that you will be burning fat 24/7. This involves a 2 weeks cleansing of the body from the negative toxins and chemicals accumulated over the years. The detoxification process is just a diet on natural food sources which includes seeds and nuts for protein and fat, organic fruits and vegetables, beans, and other whole food sources. Nothing processed and definitely no junk food. After this detoxification process, the body is ready to take on the massive fat burning agenda. Effective mental and physical exercises complemented by a diet consisting of crucial food sources that actually help the body to burn fat instead of retaining them will guarantee results in 12 weeks.

There are indications that al-Qaeda's struggle with Iraq's United States-sponsored tribal Awakening Councils is far from over. An attack on the Baquba home of Awakening Council militia leader Sheikh Abdul Karim Hassan al-Dahlaji on October 29 left three family members dead and 14 others injured.
A police source, speaking on condition of anonymity, said the raid was likely to have been carried out by al-Qaeda. Four days later, a roadside bomb killed Sheikh Abbas al-Tami and his family near Baquba, the capital of Diyala province. The Sheikh was the head of the Majmaa tribe and a prominent Awakening Council leader.
These incidents appear to be part of a strategy imposed by al-Qaeda in Iraq (AQI) in their fight with the Majalis al-Sahwat (Awakening Councils). AQI's announcement of the establishment of a so-called "Islamic State of Iraq" (ISI) in the Sunni areas of the country reflected the latest stage of disengagement between the organization and its incubator, the Sunni tribes, as al-Qaeda tries to impose its own understanding of Islam by targeting civilians (including Sunni Muslims) and "hijacking the national Iraqi resistance", as their opponents put it. This approach inflamed the Sunni tribes, leading them to organize themselves, with American support, into armed groups based on geographical and tribal distribution.
Dismantling the Awakening movement
The Awakening Councils were founded in the predominantly Sunni Anbar province in January 2006 by Sheikh Abdul Sattar Abu Risha with the aim of confronting al-Qaeda. After their success in forcing al-Qaeda from Anbar, other Sunni provinces and areas started to form their own councils, often incorporating former Iraqi insurgents. Although Abu Risha was assassinated by a suicide bomber in September 2007, one can safely conclude that Awakening Councils were the major factor behind the reduced threat posed by al-Qaeda in Iraq, as indicated by the decrease in its attacks over the past two years.
In September, a new situation was created by the US announcement that responsibility for 54,000 of the roughly 100,000 members of the Awakening Councils would be handed over to the Iraqi government. The government has pledged to absorb 20% of these members into the police and armed forces, paying them US$250 in monthly salaries rather than the $300 they now receive. The remaining 80% are to be recruited to civilian government posts.
As the Iraqi government has done little to support the Awakening Councils from the beginning, the movement's leaders have concerns about the government's will to commit to its pledges. They are also rejecting the deal to incorporate only 20% of movement's members into the security forces, arguing that the government should assimilate all members of the Awakening Councils into the police and armed forces, as they are unable to pursue any careers not related to security work.
In this context, Sheikh Shoja'a al-A'azami, leader of the Ghazaliyah Awakening, and Sheikh Hamid al-Hayis, leader of Anbar Awakening, have both cautioned the government about the consequences of not absorbing the gunmen of the Awakening Councils, arguing that 20% is not enough. Al-A'azami warned that "terrorist groups could use this situation to present tempting offers [to the 80% without security work]". Al-A'azami also warned that if Awakening Councils are not absorbed into the security bodies, there is a "possibility that they will stage a coup and turn into anti-American, anti-government armed groups, or will be polarized by al-Qaeda". The current situation has encouraged al-Qaeda in Iraq to find ways to punish Awakening leaders and alienate Awakening fighters from the government in the hope they will join al-Qaeda.
Al-Qaeda's strategy
Since Awakening Councils control most Sunni areas, al-Qaeda's strategy has been based on assassinating the movement's leaders. The most significant of these was the assassination of Sheikh Abdul Sattar Abu Risha, one of the Awakening founders, in September 2007. On September 11, jihadi Internet forums posted a list of more than 40 assassinated Awakening Council leaders. Other leaders and Awakening Council affiliates were also threatened.
The recent attacks on Sheikh al-Dahlaji and Sheikh al-Tami, as mentioned above, show that this strategy continues. However, at the same time, it is obvious that al-Qaeda in Iraq realizes the changing situation of the Awakening Councils and aims to benefit from it.
On October 24, jihadi web forums circulated an audio interview with the leader of al-Qaeda in Iraq, Abu Hamza al-Muhajir (also War Minister of the ISI), conducted by the "Al-Furqan Institute for Media Production". The interviewer asked al-Muhajir whether al-Qaeda would accept the "repentance of al-Sahwat members". Al-Muhajir replied:
Sure, the door to repentance is open, and the Amir of the Believers [Abu Omar al-Baghdadi] stated that many times, but this repentance should be according to the known sharia regulations that govern the repentance of militant groups who abandoned the Islamic sharia ... Again, I advise al-Sahwha soldiers to repent to Allah, to be remorseful and return to righteousness. I am telling them, "Hey drunk [man], you will live sadly as a spy and you will die as an infidel, an apostate, and your son will inherit nothing but shame and disgrace. Tell me, by God, if you still remember him, who will marry your daughter? What will your children say about you? What will your grandchildren say about you? Be careful nobody points to them and says; 'Hey, children of a traitor.' And be careful that your son might spit on your grave when he experiences the humiliation that survives you. By God, we are certainly going to kill you, God willing, if you do not return to God. Therefore, you, the miserable, repent! Be careful of the fatwas issued by imams of misguidance!"
It is obvious here that al-Muhajir is combining threats which appeal to the tribal and religious pride of Awakening members with his questions, suggesting they transfer their allegiance to al-Qaeda.
Despite continued strikes against Awakening leaders, a recent newspaper report claims secret orders to halt most attacks on Awakening Council members have been distributed by al-Qaeda to its fighters. Security sources in Baghdad confirm there has been a considerable decrease in al-Qaeda attacks against Awakening Councils in the past couple of weeks, whereas Awakening members had previously been the target in 70% of al-Qaeda's total attacks.
Although al-Qaeda aims to attract Awakening Council members, which will probably play a major role in any resurgence of al-Qaeda in Iraq, there are still some constraints in accepting them into their organization. Abu Omar al-Kurdi, a regular contributor to jihadi forums, posted a warning about "repented al-Sahwat", suggesting that the US aim in handing over responsibility to the Iraqi government is to use them to spy on jihadi factions. Al-Kurdi suggests that these "repented" members form a special faction and wage attacks on American troops to prove the sincerity of their "repentance".
Problems faced by the Awakening Councils
Given al-Qaeda's eagerness to attract Awakening Council members, there are two factors which could create a fertile environment for pushing Awakening Councils members into the arms of al-Qaeda or other Iraqi insurgent factions. Both factors relate to integrating the Awakening fighters into the Iraqi state.
Firstly, regarding their integration into security bodies, al-Sahwat members think that the Iraqi government is reluctant to accept them because of the influence of Shi'ite militants on the security bodies. The Sunnis' feelings of marginalization have been used by al-Qaeda in Iraq in the past to recruit young men.
Secondly, while the leaders of the Awakening movement intend to play a political role in the new Iraqi state, divisions among them have accelerated since emerging several months ago. There are now two major and newly created political blocs among the Sunni tribes - the "Iraq Awakening Movement", led by Ahmad Abu Risha (brother of the late Abdul Sattar Abu Risha), and the "Anbar Salvation Council", led by Hamid al-Hayis, who accused Abu Risha of creating alliances with the Iraqi Islamic Party against the interests of Awakening Council members. It is worth mentioning that the division between al-Hayis and Abu Risha is not based solely on political disagreements, but personal conflict as well.
With many Awakening leaders attempting to create personal fiefdoms in Sunni areas, the present situation is creating frustration among Awakening Council members and may leave them without leaders to defend their demands. These frustrated young fighters will be the focus of al-Qaeda recruitment efforts.
While Awakening Council forces have played a major role in decreasing al-Qaeda's activities in Iraq, it is possible that the same forces will play a role in re-activating al-Qaeda unless their demands are considered by the US and Iraqi governments.
For this to be achieved, it seems essential to emphasize the importance of an Iraqi secular state based on re-establishing a national identity which has been beset by sectarian violence over the past four years. This is a long-term project, which can be launched by integrating Awakening Councils members into the Iraqi state and finding ways to fund this procedure, as it will serve to promote the overall integration of Sunnis, a process essential to the survival of the new Iraqi state

Al-Qaeda in Iraq has lost its support, they are a dying breed that will finally be terminated soon enough.
I don't believe they have enough fighters left to do much of anything except minor attacks. The Iraqis don't want them anymore, so it's just a matter of time.
I say let the Iraqis have at them, they target mostly Iraqis now anyway.

Unless I'm mistaken a lot of what I have been reading about is suicide bombers running into a crowd of people. What you've said make's good sense !! Furthermore most of my friends who have returned from Iraq have stated that kids are playng in the streets, going to school,business as though it is an eary calm as compared to a three years ago. Couple of my friends just came back on R&R and will be going back next month. One guy told me it's like going to work in another country where it's leg More..

The amount of real targets for our forces to fight have certainly diminished in the past year. I don't credit the surge, but the Iraqi people themselves. When Iraqis turned their backs on extremists committing brutal crimes against its population, they effectively left few safe havens for these bands of thugs to operate.
What you are seeing now are the futile attempts to undermind the new Iraqi government and strike fear and doubt into the minds of the general populace.

"Here, then, awaiting our study, lies man's authentic "being"–stretching the whole length of his past. Man is what has happened to him, what he has done. Other things might have happened to him or have been done by him, but what did in fact happen to him and was done by him, this constitutes a relentless trajectory of experiences that he carries on his back as the vagabond his bundle of all he possesses. Man is a substantial emigrant on a pilgrimage of being, and it is accordingly meaningless to set limits to what he is capable of being."
Jose Ortega y Gasset, History as a System
"I have recorded these events in the hope that the readers of this history may profit from them, for there are two ways by which all men may reform themselves, either by learning from their own errors or from those of others; the former makes a more striking demonstration, the latter a less painful one. For this reason we should never, if we can avoid it, choose the first, since it involves great dangers as well as great pain, but always the second, since it reveals the best course without causing us harm. From this I conclude that the best education for the situations of actual life consists of the experience we acquire from the study of serious history. For it is history alone which without causing us harm enables us to judge what is the best course in any situation or circumstance."

With childhood obesity rates soaring, it is crucial to encourage healthy snacking, and provide education on the benefits of eating a variety of colors instead of consuming high fat snacks! Fruits and vegetables are loaded with antioxidants and vitamins that play many roles in growth and development and preventing diseases. Remember, be creative and have fun with color! Here are some benefits of each color:
Request the red- These fruits and vegetables help improve heart health are also known as anticarcinogenic - which means they reduce the occurrence of cancers. Eat strawberries, watermelon balls, or red peppers to get these benefits!
Obtain the orange and yellow- Orange and yellow fruits and vegetables contain antioxidants that are associated with heart health, and they help boost the immune system. These fruits and vegetables are loaded with vitamin B, vitamin C, and potassium! Pineapple, oranges, and squash are good examples!
Grab the green- Green fruits and vegetables have been shown to guard against stroke and heart attacks, are anticarcinogenic, and help promote strong bones and teeth! Remember, the darker green the better. Eat spinach, broccoli, and kiwi to protect your heart and keep your bones strong!
Bring on the blue and purple- Blue and purple fruits and vegetables are best known for their anti-inflammatory properties that help prevent damaging blockages in our blood vessels. They also contain vitamin A, vitamin C, folate, iron, and potassium. To get the benefits of these colors, eat plums, blueberries, or eggplant.
Why not white? - These fruits and vegetables are loaded with antioxidants and are known for their anticarcinogenic properties as well as their benefits toward healthy cholesterol levels and a healthy heart. Cauliflower, onions, and bananas are great examples to incorporate into their diets.
Until next time, Eat Well, Live Well :)

Hungary to Disband Fiscal Council
The Hungarian government wants to get rid of the country's Fiscal Council, the whistle-blower in budget matters. The move shows the governing Fidesz party's self-confidence already demonstrated when the grouping, which has a two-thirds majority in parliament, truncated the Constitutional Court's powers over tax matters, attacked the central bank, and decided to divert mandatory pension payments from private funds to the public sector.
Both steps are meant to help the government meet strict budget deficit targets. The only other country that has done away with its Fiscal Council is Venezuela under President Hugo Chavez.
Hungary's Fiscal Council is financed from the budget but independent from the government, like the central bank, acting as the government's fiscal conscience. It has no say in politics — it can't decide who in the society should benefit from a tax system overhaul, for example — but its duty is to evaluate legislative changes and say how they would affect the state budget both in the short and the longer term.
The council didn't step out of its role when it said the government's tax measures will make the budget unsustainable in the medium term. One-off extra taxes this government levied and its decision to reinforce the public pension system will make attainable the goal set by the European Union to reduce 2011 budget deficit to no more than 3% of gross domestic product. But cuts of personal and other taxes also administered by this administration are to stay in the long run, and thus Hungary will risk running a much higher budget deficit in the years to come.
The council was unashamed in making its comments to appeal to the average Hungarian. That was, understandably, to the populist government's dislike.
Furthermore, the much respected head of the council, Gyorgy Kopits, irked the government with his observation that it had buried in the small print of the 2011 budget draft that it wants to rely on the extraordinary taxes two years longer than it originally pledged. Mr. Kopits was the one who coined the term "fiscal alcoholism" in reference to Hungary's previous lax fiscal policies that made the country the first EU member that needed an International Monetary Fund-EU bailout.
Just a few days after Mr. Kopits's remarks, Jozsef Varga, governing party MP, proposed in an amendment to the 2011 budget draft to cut the Fiscal Council's budget to 10 million forints ($49,853) next year — more than 80 times, from the current 835.5 million forints ($4.17 million). Mr. Varga, who is the chairman of the Public Foundation for the Roma living in Hungary, proposed to channel the difference to the Roma foundation he leads.
"It's necessary and timely to rethink the role of the Fiscal Council," Mr. Varga's amendment also says.
Furthermore, "Fidesz has vowed to decrease the number of offices in public administration … The Fidesz party didn't vote for setting up a Fiscal Council in 2008 as this body fulfills similar tasks as the central bank or the State Audit Office, while it has the right to ask for any data or information about the budget," the proposal says.
The lack of executive powers over the budget make the Council "a toothless lion," the State Audit Office's recently appointed President Laszlo Domokos said.
But what may look like a toothless lion to some, to others presents itself as the guardian of fiscal credibility — something Hungary has in extremely short supply. Shooting the lion won't help.
