This is a really great invention — a hand held water bottle that can purify a year's worth of water. It removes not only parasites and bacteria, but also viruses. It was just announced recently at a defense industry tradeshow and was a big hit among military commanders who need a better way to get water to their troops. Beyond that it could be a lifesaver in disaster areas and in developing countries where finding clean water is a daily struggle.

New Aspartame Concerns — Study Finds Link to Cancer At Lower Levels
Suspicions of a link between Aspartame (the commonly used artificial sweetener) and various forms of cancer have received another boost from a new Italian study. The study found that even at relatively low levels of consumption, rats exposed to Aspartame had a significantly increased risk of several types of cancer. The implications of this are important for everyone, but especially children, because their lifetime consumption of Aspartame is expected to be much higher than those who started consuming it as adults. More details here.
GM Grapes and Toxic Wines
This is a somewhat scary article about the hazards of genetically modified grapes and the wines they may be used to produce. The article is from the extreme anti-genetic-engineering perspective, and so I don't know how balanced it is or what the opposing view might say. But it is certainly food for thought… or thought about food anyway.
Instructional Video: How to Eat Sushi in Japan
Check out this fascinating video on the correct way to order and eat sushi in Japan. Very informative! I had no idea that all these years I had been doing it all wrong. How embarrassing!
Very Funny Instructional Video — How To Poke Pole the Monkeyfaced Eel
My cousin, Jeremy (the reincarnation of Ernest Hemmingway, I am certain), lives out by Muir Beach, San Francisco. Today he and some manly-man friends are going fishing for "monkey faced eel." YUCK. But ok, anyway, they're the ones who have to eat the stuff. Now I'm not a fan of eel (can you tell?), and I'm also not a fan of fishing — I think it's cruel (which is an admittedly hypocritical view, since I still eat fish and I suppose they have to come from somewhere. Oh well, too bad we don't have Soylent Green to eat yet.). But in any case, Jeremy, or "JD" as we all like to call him, is a serious flyfisherman and generally a hunter (not a gatherer) type — so I guess the prospect of being washed out to sea on the rocks is a small price to pay for the chance of snagging a slimy sea snake, bludgeoning it to death or suffocating it, and then boiling it into some kind of savory eel-stew concoction or something. Jeremy has never actually hunted for monkeyfaced eel and all he knows about the subject he learned from the video below. That's gonna be entertaining. But it's probably going to be even more dramatic given that his innocent wife, Natasha — who doesn't like to eat anything "cute" (fortunately, monkefaced eel are definitely NOT cute)– will be standing onshore anxiously watching him risk his life to bring a kill back to cave-clan. Anyway the point of this is that he just sent me an instructional video on How to Poke Pole the Monkeyfaced Eel (click the link for the video of that title on the page this goes to) and it is hilarious. The guy in the video is deadpan serious but completely zany. And the editing is great. You've gotta watch this.
All Seafood Gone by 2050 — Overfishing and Overpopulation
New research suggests that all the world's ocean seafood stocks will be gone by 2050…
WASHINGTON (AP) – Clambakes, crabcakes, swordfish steaks and even
humble fish sticks could be little more than a fond memory in a few
decades. If current trends of overfishing and pollution continue, the
populations of just about all seafood face collapse by 2048, a team of
ecologists and economists warns in a report in Friday's issue of the
journal Science.
"Whether we looked at tide pools or studies over the entire world's
ocean, we saw the same picture emerging. In losing species we lose the
productivity and stability of entire ecosystems," said the lead author
Boris Worm of Dalhousie University in Halifax, Nova Scotia.
"I was shocked and disturbed by how consistent these trends are – beyond anything we suspected," Worm said.
While the study focused on the oceans, concerns have been expressed by
ecologists about threats to fish in the Great Lakes and other lakes,
rivers and freshwaters, too.
Worm and an international team spent four years analyzing 32 controlled
experiments, other studies from 48 marine protected areas and global
catch data from the U.N. Food and Agriculture Organization's database
of all fish and invertebrates worldwide from 1950 to 2003.
The scientists also looked at a 1,000-year time series for 12 coastal
regions, drawing on data from archives, fishery records, sediment cores
and archaeological data.
"At this point 29 percent of fish and seafood species have collapsed –
that is, their catch has declined by 90 percent. It is a very clear
trend, and it is accelerating," Worm said. "If the long-term trend
continues, all fish and seafood species are projected to collapse
within my lifetime – by 2048."
Steak in Red Wine Reduction
I just improvised tonight and made
something pretty yummy that you might want to try sometime.
Take a cut of really good
Make a marinade with a half bottle of
red wine, chili spices (chili, cumin, oregano, onion powder, mesquite), copious amounts of rosemary, garlic flakes or cut garlic slices, a little bit of cayenne, and a little
salt. I used a bottle of Cabernet Franc from the fridge that I opened a week ago and didn't finish; not drinkable anymore but a perfect marinade base.
Puncture the steak many times on both sides, using a fork to make a lot of holes to
help soak up the marinade deeper into the steak.
Marinade the steak for half an hour to an hour, or longer if you have time.
Put a little olive oil in frying pan and dump a bunch of rosemary, garlic, chili spices (cumin, pepper, oregano, mesquite flavor if you have any), and a pinch of cayenne, into the oil. Then heat the spices and oil for a few minutes to get the pan hot.
Next put the steak into the pan and grill, with the pan partially
covered, for 2 minutes on each side.
Next, pour all of the remaining marinade into the pan with the steak. It should be about a half a centimeter deep in the pan.
Keep cooking, partially covered to keep the moisture in, on 3/4 of full heat.
The marinade boils off while the steak cooks, until it creates a really thick and delicious red wine reduction, full of rosemary and other spices.
Once almost all the water in the marinade has boiled off and the reduction gets really thick, slide the steak around in the reduction sauce to soak it all up, and use a spatula to gather the reduction and coat the steak with it until the steak is coated with the reduction and spices. The outside of the meat should appear very dark plum colored due to the wine reduction coating and sticking to the surface of the steak. There also should also be lots of rosemary and garlic pieces embedded in the reduction.
Keep cooking the steak until slightly blackened in the red wine reduction, but still medium rare on the inside.
Eat while still hot.
Mmm. Delicious. The red wine permeates deeply into the steak and the seared reduction coating gives the outside a delicious punch of flavor that really pops out. You'll also notice that the steak is extremely moist and full of red wine and rosemary and mesquite nuances because it was cooked in the marinade.
US Rice Supplies Inadvertently Contaminated
It has just come out that supplies of rice in the USA have been contaminated with a gene that was not approved for human consumption.
Ripeness Sticker – Brilliant
A University of Arizona professor has invented a ripeness sticker that shows how ripe a piece of fruit is. Why didn't I think of this!!! This is a simple, brilliant idea. It's right up there with the blue-tip match. The University of Arizona is going to make a lot of money on this.
Detecting Disease by Measuring the Breath
The next generation of the breathalyzer won't just measure blood alchohol content, it will detect many types of disease as well. A laser-based technology for measuring the breath is being proposed as a viable alternative to blood tests.

Moderate Drinking Turns out to Not be So Healthy After All
A new study has found a fatal flaw in past studies that claimed moderated drinking is good for your health. It seems the past studies compared moderate drinkers to abstainers, and found the moderate drinkers were more healthy. Unfortunately what they neglected to consider was the fact that many of their abstainers were abstaining because they had other health problems or were frail and elderly and on medications that interacted with alchohol. In other words, all these studies proved was that moderate drinkers were more healthy than people who were already seriously ill. There may still be some hope for the party people in the audience though. Although past studies were flawed, other studies have shown beneficial effects of moderate drinking on some health conditions.
Widely Used Food Packaging Material Related to Surge in Prostate Cancers
More evidence that many synthetic food and beverage packaging materials are unsafe:
A CHEMICAL used to make food wrapping and line tin cans could be the
cause of surging prostate cancer rates in men, says a study.
Bisphenol A is widely used in the food industry to make
polycarbonate drinks bottles and the resins used to line tin cans, even
though it is known to leach into food and has long been suspected of
disrupting human sex hormones.
new research suggests the small but constant level of bisphenol A
entering people's diet has a particular impact on pregnant women,
disastrously altering the development of unborn baby sons.
The chemical causes microscopic changes in the developing
prostate gland but these are not apparent at birth. Instead, they show
up years later when they lead to a range of prostate diseases, such as
enlargement and cancer. The changes can also cause malformation of the
urethra, the channel for urine.
In Britain, rates of the cancer have surged to about 27,000
new diagnoses and 10,000 deaths a year. It is now almost as big a
killer as breast cancer in women.
Aspartame Even More Toxic When Mixed with Food Coloring
More news about aspartame ("Nutrasweet"), which is being found to be far more toxic than anyone imagined… (from: this article)
Combining food additives may be harmful, say researchers
· Aspartame and artificial colourings investigated
· Mice nerve cells stopped growing in experiments
Felicity Lawrence, consumer affairs correspondent
Wednesday December 21, 2005
The Guardian
research on common food additives, including the controversial
sweetener aspartame and food colourings, suggests they may interact to
interfere with the development of the nervous system.
Researchers at
the University of Liverpool examined the toxic effects on nerve cells
in the laboratory of using a combination of four common food additives
– aspartame, monosodium glutamate (MSG) and the artificial colourings
brilliant blue and quinoline yellow. The findings of their two-year
study were published last week in the journal Toxicological Sciences.
Liverpool team reported that when mouse nerve cells were exposed to MSG
and brilliant blue or aspartame and quinoline yellow in laboratory
conditions, combined in concentrations that theoretically reflect the
compound that enters the bloodstream after a typical children's snack
and drink, the additives stopped the nerve cells growing and interfered
with proper signalling systems.
The mixtures of the additives had a much more potent effect on nerve cells than each additive on its own.
Aspartame (Nutrasweet) Proved to Cause Cancer at Human Levels of Ingestion
A recent study has found that human-level dosages of aspartame (the artificial sweetener formerly known as Nutrasweet and now cleverly disguised by new, obscure trade-names) causes stastitically significant increases in the occurrance of multiple forms of cancer. In other words, don't drink diet colas that include aspartame, don't chew sugar-free gum, and when you see "sugar-free" on food, beware. If you need a totally natural and safe alternative to aspartame, try Stevia — it's from a rainforest berry and is about 1000 times sweeter than sugar (so just 2 drops will sweeten a whole cup of coffee). You can get Stevia drops in any Whole Foods or health food store.
New Bird-Flu Remedy… Sauerkraut?
Yuck. I hate sauerkraut. But even I will eat the stuff if it turns out to help fight bird-flu, as this article reports. Anyway, the good news is that kimchee may be equally effective; kimchi is delicious.
You do what you eat?
This article presents some fascinating evidence that nutrition has a direct relationship on behavior, particularly antisocial behavior.
Superwater Kills Bugs Dead
A modified form of salt water has an ion imbalance that kills viruses, bacteria and other single-celled organisms. It also speeds burn and wound healing dramatically. Best of all, it's safe if ingested (and has no calories!).
Meanwhile, researchers continue to discover that germs are the cause of previously misunderstood diseases, such as many cancers.
Chef Invents Printer that Prints Out Food
An unusual chef with a technical bent has modified an inkjet printer to print in edible colors on edible paper. He's printing out edible pictures, and even making his menus edible. But his ideas for the technology go far beyond this. Read the article here, then eat it!
Splenda (Sucralose): Not Safe?
This is an interesting article that points out some facts and unanswered questions about the safety of Splenda, an artificial sweetener that has been gaining in popularity since 2000.
US Army Food… Just Add Urine
The US Army has developed a new way to enable soldiers to carry less water. They have created rehydratable food rations that come in a wrapping that is actually a sophisticated semi-permeable membrane. So to rehydrate the food, soldiers can simply pee on it, or even pour dirty water on it if that's all that is around. The membrane filters out 99% of the bad stuff so that only clean water gets into the food. Sounds appetizing.
Soylent Green is Made of PEOPLE….!!!!
A Russian scientist proposes turning all that wasted blood out there into yogurt, milk, cheese, etc. To quote the film, "Soylent Green is Made of People….!!!" Thanks, but I'm not hungry.
The Devastating Effects of Shrimp
Shrimp fishing and shrimp farming are devastating the oceans. This brief report lists some of the surprising statistics related to this problem. For example, did you know that the ratio of discarded (wasted) fish to kept shrimp in a typical catch is often as high as ten to one? And what happens to all that discarded fish? It gets dumped, dead, back into the ocean. This is equivalent to clearcutting of forests, only it's worse because it is happening in international waters and is totally unregulated. It's the Tragedy of the Commons at work once again. It also turns out that shrimp farming is displacing huge numbers of local jobs, ruining local economies. This is worth knowing about — and maybe not eating much shrimp is a good idea too.
Transgenic Tombstone Project Hits Snags
Yikes this one freaks me out — A project to splice the DNA of dead people to apple trees as a way to preserve people's "essence" after death. Fortunately, it has hit some snags. I would not want to bite into an apple and find out that I was actually eating grandma!!!! This project really gives new meaning to the story of the apple in the Garden of Eden. I don't think we should be making such apples — let alone eating them. And I'm not sure I like the idea of inserting even so-called "junk DNA" (which recently has been found to be less likely to be "junk" — it may in fact code for important steps in development) into food, let alone into the environment in general.
Chocolate slows Artery Aging
Another reason to eat chocolate is that it protects the arteries. Considering all the chocolate I've been eating lately, this is very good news.
Drinking Coffee Prevents Diabetes
One more reason to drink coffee — a major study found that those who drank the most coffee had the lowest chance of getting diabetes.
Leptin Protein Converts Fat-Storing Cells to Fat-Burning Cells
Researchers have discovered a safe way to rapidly bring about weight loss, using a protein called Leptin.
Parasites are Good for You??? Bioengineered Parasites as Medicine?
New research and experiments indicate that deliberately ingesting certain types of parasitic worms may be the cure for colitis, hay fever, asthma and a host of other auto-immune diseases. Gross!!! But seriously, the theory is that since humans co-evolved with gut-worms they may in fact be necessary to our health. This is an interesting idea actually — there are number of "bad" micro-organisms that modern medicine has eliminated — but what if some of them are actually necessary for our health because we've evolved alongside them for so long that they are part of how we work? This is not so suprising. Human organisms are assemblages of many complex sub-systems some of which are unique organisms in their own right — we are superorganisms — for example, we cannot digest our food effectively without the help of e-coli bacteria and the mitochondira in our own cells seem to contain their own unique DNA. Gut-worms, disgusting as they may be, could be in fact good for our health. This reminds me of something that several hard-core backpackers in Asia told me when I was in the far reaches of India and Nepal: it turns out some of them found out that having a tapeworm prevented them from getting amoebas and other parasites because the tapeworm ate the other baddies they ingested. Tapeworms are pretty good parasites — that is they can reside in a host for a long time without killing them, although their are certain risks from long-term tape-worm infections (such as brain, eye and other tissue diseases). This makes me think about the potential for a future medical advance: bioengineered parasites. Suppose we could evolve or build a form of gut-worm that could not reproduce. You could ingest the eggs and they would hatch in the intestinal tract and the resulting worms would live for a week or two. Then they would die without reproducing first. It would be sort of like taking a course of antibiotics, only a lot grosser!
Potentially HUGE Discovery: Molecule from Milk and Red Meat Found in Tumors
This is really big. Scientists have discovered that a molecule that is not normally found in humans — but IS found in tumors — comes from milk and red meat. They also found that the human body reacts to this molecule with an immune response. In other words, drinking milk and eating red meat can cause an immune response in humans AND seems to result in this molecule showing up in tumors. Now the question is, does the molecule cause tumors, or is this just a coincidence? Very very big discovery!

C-Day: Decimal currency introduced
NATIONAL, Canberra ACT
Key Themes
From pounds and pence to dollars and cents.
The conversion from imperial to decimal currency was first introduced as an election promise by Prime Minister Robert Menzies in 1958. Some people thought the new currency should share Menzies' nickname, the 'ming'. True to form, Menzies himself favoured the 'royal', because it emphasised our link with the British Crown. Over a thousand submissions were made proposing names for the new currency such as the kanga, the roo, the emu, the oz, the austral, the digger, the kwid and the dinkum. But it was the 'dollar' that won in the end. After eight years of careful scoping, planning and public education - including a memorable TV jingle to the tune of 'Click go the shears' - 'C-Day' arrived right on schedule in 1966.
The Royal Mint in Canberra was set up to strike the new coinage and care was taken with design. The original notes have long since been replaced by polymer notes. But if you check your pocket there's a good chance you'll find a coin dating back to the 1960s. This clip will give you a new appreciation for the artistic vision and design integrity of these little objects that we jingle, toss, trade and handle every day.

Not long after decimal currency came in, I remember being in class one day when my primary school teacher passed on a warning from the headmaster who had received information from one of the local bank managers to say that any students trying to pass halfpennies wrapped in silver foil off as ten cent pieces would be in serious trouble.
As soon as we could, a few of us righted our wrongs.
Christine Clarke :

I can still remember parts of the jingle. A couple of days before changeover one of the students in my class brought some of the new coins in as her father had got them through his job. We all gathered round to look at the 'new money'. It seemed strange at the time but we very quickly became acclimatised to it.
Robin Weston :

We were living in Cowell South Australia when decimal currency came in. We always bought our fresh butter, cream and milk from an old German neighbour who'd supplied these quality products to the town for many years. As the day of the changeover approached, he asked my teacher Mother about the new money. Evidently he was applying to her ethical standing as well as to her knowledge because after the 14th of February 1966 which we'd all heard about on the Radio, he pulled out his family Bible in which he'd been hiding the old style pound notes, some of which were decades old and asked our Mother to change it into 'Devil Money' for him.

I remember the day well as I actually saw one of the decimal coins on 13 February 1966... but alas, you couldn't use the new coins in Christmas puddings... thruppences and sixpences had high silver content so they didn't turn green... my stepmother kept a supply of the old coins that I think she must still have as if we found one we'd have to give it back... in those days sixpence would buy you an icecream or a fairly big bag of mixed lollies!

I was delighted when they changed the shillings, pence etc. I never understood Maths that well - but this made complete sense to a young girl. Remember the advertising.

My boss likes to tell the story that the 14th February 1966 was his very first day of work as a young lad at the Maritime Services Board in Sydney. His first job of the day was to go and buy the morning teas. "I had pounds, shillings and ce in one hand and dollars and cents in the other, and I had absolutely no idea what I was doing"! Good on you Bob, funny story.
John Heller :

I remember a period when magazine like Electronics Australia had prices in both currencies on advertising pages.
Does anyone know what period both imperial and decimal were accepted tender?
Kathy P :

I wasn't born until 1969, but my mother (who was a teacher) used to tell me about the change over to decimal currency when I was a young girl in primary school.
The advertising campaign about the changeover must have been very effective because Mum used to sing the song lyrics to me! And even decades later whenever the subject would come up, out she would come with the jingle. So its almost like I was there..
In come the dollars and in come the cents
to replace the pounds and the shillings and the pence.
Be prepared folks when the coins begin to mix
on the 14th of February 1966.
Clink go the cents folks
clink, clink, clink. Changeover day is closer than you think.
Learn the value of the coins and the way that they appear
and things will be much smoother when the decimal point is here.
In come the dollars and in come the cents
to replace the pounds and the shillings and the pence.
Be prepared folks when the coins begin to mix
on the 14th of February 1966.
Great, now the song will be in my head all day!

For me, this was a day which crystallized Australia's cultural and political independence from Britain and drew a line between the modern times and the "olden days". I was a primary school student and had mastered pounds, shillings, pence and halfpennies, as well as all those other Imperial measurements, adding up and converting inches, feet, yards, miles, bushels, packs and gallons, ounces, pounds and stone. All these measurements are profoundly embedded in our minds and daily lives of everyone. This was a benign but very historic day and the jingle that led the nation through the transition was a masterpiece of public and patriotic education. My toe starts tapping even now as I remember it!

I was in grade 4 at the time. The jingle was catchy and I still remember it. The new currency was exciting and we looked forward to it. It's sad and annoying to think that we were still being taught the imperial system of weights and measures at school in 1966. I've never gotten a handle on metric, what a wasted opportunity.

Like everything that is new to Australia there was huge discussions on why should we follow the Yanks. For a long time we would talk about the new money being worth less than "real money". BUT we should remember how insightful and inclusive the designs were. All coins were different sizes and had raised parts, the notes were also different sizes and colours, all for the benefit of the blind. When we got used to them it was much easier to multiply cents to dollars. The only thing that didnt happen was that we did not invent slang words for this new money. I have forgotten most of them now but a Tenner was ten bob.
Bob.H :
02 Apr 2012 2:44:27pm
Betty I worked in a bank in NSW when the change over took place so remember it fairly well.
The slang terms that I can remember are
threepence = a trey
sixpence = a zac
one shilling = a dinna or a bob
two shillings = two bob or a florine
ten shillings = ten bob
one pound = a quid
five pound = a fiver or five quid
ten pound = a tenner or ten quid
Then of course there was the guinea (one pound one shilling) which I recall being used in sales which also died with the advent of decimal currency
Good chance I have missed some or there may have even been some different slang used in other states.

Don't forget we also had the pennies and half-pennies (pronounced hay-pennies) which also disappeared when decimal currency arrived.
And, when did farthings disappear from the Australian currency? It was well before the mid-1950s - does anyone know?
Slartibartfast :
21 Apr 2012 12:36:12pm
Farthings have never been minted in Australia, and British farthings were no longer accepted as legal tender after WW II. I'm too young to remember personally, but my mother collects antiquarian coins (a hobby begun in the mid-80s when she discovered an old purse she hadn't used since she married Dad in 1967 - it still had several pounds in predecimal coins in it), and bought a reference book when she started getting seriously interested. That book's title escapes me, but I do remember reading that info about farthings in it.
John Heller :
30 Apr 2012 10:35:55am
Did Australia ever produce a guinea note or coin? I can't remember seeing one. I don't really have any experience with the old system though. I was born in 1965 and as far as I know there was no bank notes or coins actually produced in that year. My wife was going to buy me a coin face watch for a present once but it was not possible to get one with my birth year, unless i chose a new zealand coin. Not acceptable!!

I got over the drakmar very quickly and learned about the three pence (which we used to turn on the hot water)' the shilling, the half pound and the pound. Having learnt that and going from the metric 10 to the imperial 12' now I had to go back to the metric 10. It din't change my life but these days I need a computer to guide my way between inches and metres what I go to a hardware store to purchase wood fora project. Talked about being confused! Try converting inches to centre metres. I have no idea

Jim, unless you need to work in exact measurements - in which case, get a calculator -it's worth remembering that one inch is just over 2.5 centimetres (2.54 cm to be more accurate), 6 inches is approximately 15 centimetres (15-and-a-quarter centimetres), and a foot is a bit over 30cm (30.48 for accuracy).
I haven't looked lately, but tape measures used to come with dual measurement markings on them. If you can get hold of one of those (if you don't already have one) it'll make the conversion so much easier.

I don't remember this clip but I do remember being given a one cent coin by my Grandmother and being very impressed with its shiny look.
I don't know that it changed my life as such but the other thing I remember is being able to buy 4 aniseed balls for one cent!

I remember Aniseed balls being 4 for one cent even in the early 70's when i used to ride my bike down to the corner shop. It really annoyed the checkout operator when I asked for my 25 cents worth,

I'm using the Permalink mini-loop from http://codex.wordpress.org/index.php?title=Creating_a_Static_Front_Page
I've added 'post_excerpt' to the code. Static Page:
The first 3 entries on home page are not yet posted to the blog (as of 1/23/2006, 12:00pm):
I'm a pathetic hack at best. Can someone help with the php code to select the static page list based on current server date and time, compared to the post date and time? (I think the correct field is "wp_posts/post_date_gmt". Need to verify.)
The codex entry for this also needs to be updated (IMHO). I'll be glad to do that when ready. Thanks very much for your help.

Our top 10 crazy concessions at Rangers' ballpark
The ballpark got creative with this one: a two-foot long taco shell filled with nacho toppings and drenched in melted cheese. The tanaco was made for Tex-mex lovers who can't pick between tacos and nachos. Don't order this monstrosity unless you aren't afraid to walk out of the ballpark with a little (or a lot of) nacho cheese on your shirt.

Antebellum Period
Martin Van Buren in Antebellum Period
Martin Van Buren (1782-1862) was the eighth president of the United States and a founder of the Democratic Party. A master political strategist, he was one of the most influential advisors in Andrew Jackson's administration. After serving as Jackson's Vice President, he became President himself in 1836. Yet Van Buren did not possess Jackson's military record or charisma, and his popularity suffered after the Panic of 1837. He lost to the recently-formed Whig party in 1840, which attacked him as an aristocrat and employed many of Van Buren's old tactics in their "log cabin and hard cider" campaign for war hero William Henry Harrison. Van Buren was known as "Old Kinderhook" (for Kinderhook, his hometown in New York state) and used to initial "O.K." in the margins of paperwork that received his approval. The expression soon caught on after the Boston Morning Post published it in 1839.
For most of his career, Van Buren won elections by avoiding the topic of slavery to prevent dissension between northern and southern Democrats. But in 1844, when he stood perhaps the best chance of receiving the Democratic presidential nomination for the third time, he made public his stance against the annexation of Texas because he opposed the extension of slavery and the possibility of war with Mexico. Democrats who supported annexation and western expansion prevented Van Buren from receiving the two-thirds majority and "dark horse" candidate James K. Polk became the nominee instead.

Outlying Areas Senate Presidents Caucus[edit]
The article on Outlying Areas Senate Presidents Caucus contained a reference to the following AP article for which a functioning link is apparently no longer available:
By David Briscoe
The Associated Press 14 DEC 2007
HONOLULU -- Americans in states and territories not attached to the U.S. mainland are tired of being treated like they're from another country.
They pay inflated postage and air fares; they suffer more onerous airport inspections and can't tune in to satellite radio, and some of them are miffed they don't seem to be worth even two bits. The territories want to be included in the 50-state quarter program.
"We've fallen through the cracks in Washington because our issues don't affect the contiguous 48 states," said Puerto Rican Senate President Kenneth McClintock in an interview after leading meetings with legislative leaders from Hawaii, Alaska, Guam and the Northern Mariana Islands.
The mix of leaders from offshore states and territories was a first. McClintock said Thursday the group plans to keep regular contact and meet again in May in Kentucky during a Council of State Governments conference. Legislators from American Samoa and the Virgin Islands were also invited but couldn't attend.
Issues the group is addressing involve both inequities created by federal rules and laws, as well as policies of some private companies, McClintock said.
He said Americans in the territories aren't even treated like second-class citizens, but more like they're from a foreign country, and many of the problems are shared by Hawaii and Alaska even though they're states.
Satellite radio, for example is not available outside the U.S. mainland, he noted.
Now that the nation's two satellite services are trying to merge, the group agreed to ask the Federal Communications Commission to make more far-reaching service a requirement for federal approval of Sirius' proposed absorption of XM.
The territories also object to the dual agricultural and security inspections passengers have to go through at their airports, especially now that both inspections are handled by agents of Homeland Security. In Hawaii, however, the agricultural inspection is a state function.
The legislators also object to census data that leaves out the territories and private polls that exclude Alaska and Hawaii, as well as residents of the territories. The fact that census data on the territories is incomplete adds to the cost of doing business, he said, because business planners have to pay for more of their own research.
"This is the first time in history that Senate presidents from outlying areas have gotten together to recognize that they have common problems, identify them and get together to solve them," McClintock said. He said Honolulu was chosen for the meeting because it's about midway among all the territories.
Not all the discrimination involves government, he said, citing the fact that Apple Inc. doesn't sell its iPhone in Puerto Rico even though AT&T provides service that could use it.
A major complaint against private industry is the practice of boosting postage and handling charges for merchandise mailed from the 48 mainland states.
Companies often charge more to mail to Hawaii and Alaska, for example, even when the U.S. Postal Service rates are the same as to any other state, McClintock noted.
Puerto Rico is treated as a dumping ground for outdated items, he said, accusing Dell Computer of selling older models for higher prices to buyers from Puerto Rico.
"We have no currency problem, no passport problem, but they just decide to treat us as a foreign country," he said.
While I'm not sure about the best way to reference this AP story in Hanabusa's article, it certainly provides an adequate source to the paragraph in question. Pr4ever (talk) 02:13, 31 December 2009 (UTC)
Edits from the U.S. House of Representatives[edit]
Keep an eye on edits from User:188.8.131.52. It's someone (or possibly a shared computer) at the U.S. House of Representatives. I suggest that it is troubling when an anonymous user from the U.S. House of Representatives edits an article on someone running to serve in a congressional district.--Kevinkor2 (talk) 13:52, 14 February 2010 (UTC)
Assertion that Obama admin and National Dem leadership support Case: Not supported by Article[edit]
The following clause was removed from a statement about Hanabusa's rival in the 2010 special election:
- "but the Obama administration and National Democratic leadership have indicated a preference for Ed Case."
The support for that statement was given as: "DePledge, Derrick (January 2010), "Senators boost Hanabusa", Honolulu Advertiser, http://www.honoluluadvertiser.com/apps/pbcs.dll/artikkel?Dato=20100110&Kategori=NEWS21&Lopenr=1100359&Ref=AR, retrieved 2010-01" (broken link). A good link is: http://www.honoluluadvertiser.com/article/20100110/NEWS21/103020003/Senators-boost-Hanabusa
There is no mention of support (rumored or otherwise) for Case from either the Obama administration or the national dem leadership. Perhaps some other article had this statement? If so, the clause should be restored with the citation. J JMesserly (talk) 02:48, 16 May 2010 (UTC)
Contentious statements supported by Poor source- a one man "newspaper" with history of Political axe jobs[edit]
The following section was deleted under WP:BLP. Poorly sourced contentious material must be deleted immediately without prior discusion. "The burden of evidence for any edit on Wikipedia rests with the person who adds or restores material." The deleted section read:
- Bronster was investigating extensive corruption organized by Kamehameha Schools trustees. Hanabusa allegedly did this in concert with reputed Hawaii mafia boss Larry Mehau and with two of the five "Broken Trust" trustees. In his memoir, Hawaii's then-Governor Ben Cayetano explains (p 432-433):
- "...Hanabusa had other reasons to oppose Bronster's confirmation. (KSBE Trustee) Henry Peters and his influential mother, Hoaliku Drake, who had organized public demonstrations in opposition to Bronster's confirmation, were both supporters who lived in her district. Politically, that alone would have been reason enough for her to vote against (Bronster). but, as the Honolulu Advertiser would later disclose, Hanabusa had a close relationship with developer Jeff Stone, whose sister was married to Bishop Estate trustee Dickie Wong and who, along with Peters and Wong had been indicted by a grand jury convened by Bronster. As the attorney general's investigation would later reveal, prior to the confirmation hearing, Hanabusa had met privately with Larry Mehau and Wong. When confronted by a reporter, Hanabusa confirmed that the meeting had taken place, but, in a remarkable lapse of memory, she could not remember if Bronster's confirmation had been discussed."
- Source: Andrew Walden (December 14, 2009), "Cayetano: Hanabusa's Broken Trust connections lead to Ko Olina", Hawaii Free Press, retrieved 2010-05-14
The source is a one man newspaper who has engaged in rumor mongering against politicians he opposes. The Washington Post[1] accused the author, Andrew Walden of being among the first to spread the rumor that Barack Obama had a Muslim upbringing[2].
Walden is also author of The Ron Paul Campaign and its Neo-nazi Supporters, which was featured on the Michael Medved show in November 2007.[3]
For more info, see article: Hawaii Free Press.
Wikipedia is not a tabloid, but this passage of free association "reasoning" has all the hallmarks of a tabloid: guilt by association and indirect allegations etc. Regardless, the cite given easily meets the definition in WP:BLP of a poor source.
Please note that under BLP, contentious material that was deleted due to not having a reliable source must not be reverted/ restored until a reliable source is provided. -J JMesserly (talk) 03:27, 16 May 2010 (UTC)
More contentious material[edit]
I removed the following passages as I feel they are not notable and have nothing to do with Hanabusa and the campaign. Not to mention the Hawaii Free Press is nothing more than a one man extreme right-wing blog, therefore not a reliable source.
- During the campaign, the business dealings of Hanabusa's husband John Souza became controversial. In October 2003, Souza sold land to Jonnaven Monalim, a cousin of two people, Rodney Joseph Jr. and Ethan Malu Motta, convicted of murder charges related to a January 2004 shootout at the Pali golf course.[1][2]
- Souza also sold his trucking company Pueo Trucking to Waianae porta potty king George Grace III. Grace has never been convicted of anything, but was held civilly liable for two stolen trucks which were part of his company's porta-potty service fleet. [3]
--Travis Thurston+ 06:32, 27 July 2010 (UTC)
- I have raised this issue on Wikipedia:Reliable sources/Noticeboard/Archive_71#Hawaii Free Press.
- I suggest that people with opinions for or against Hawaii Free Press add some comments there.
- --Kevinkor2 (talk) 02:42, 28 July 2010 (UTC)
- Wikipedia admins today deleted the "Hawaii Free Press" article. To me, this answers the debate as to whether or not it's a reliable source. See Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Hawaii Free Press (2nd nomination) --Travis Thurston+ 02:04, 4 August 2010 (UTC)

Music at Congressional
The robust music program at Congressional School offers the opportunity to explore our world through singing, playing, moving and listening to a diverse repertoire of many times and many places through an eclectic blend of research-based methodologies, including Orff, Kodály and Dalcroze.
Lower School Music
Beginning in First Grade, Lower School student-musicians receive bi-weekly, forty five-minute instruction during which they are are identifying varying steady beat through an increasing variety of techniques, continuing to match pitch, singing within a six-note range and performing Do and Sol solfeggio through Orff and Kodály opportunities. As student-musicians transition between each grade level, the main concepts of music (i.e. melody, harmony, rhythm, pitch, timbre, expression and form) are illuminated through active participation in performing, creating and describing music. By Grade Four, students are advancing steady beat, singing and playing in three-part harmonies with the entire scale plus La-based minor and continuing to advance their Orff-mallet technique.
Early Childhood Music
The Early Childhood Program serves as the foundation of our music program, and all learning is done through active music-making ("musicing") of authentic, folk songs from across the globe. As early as Bright Beginnings (infants), student-musicians begin receiving daily, 10-minute musical instruction, a truly unique feature of the program at Congressional. Through exposure to healthy aural stimulus and beginning instrumental opportunities, students begin to explore their voices and the way in which their bodies respond to sound. By Preschool, students receive bi-weekly, thirty-minute instruction during which they are identifying steady beat, matching pitch, singing within a five-note range and showing signs of readiness for Orff and Kodály opportunities.
Middle School Music
In Middle School, student-musicians transition to a rotating, trimester-long Arts block in which they receive music on a daily basis for one-third of the year. During this period, student-musicians are strengthening and expanding upon their fundamental musicianship skills; exploring, in depth, important composers and works from the Western Canon; exploring the compositional process by creating an original piece of music with GarageBand; exploring the production process by creating an original music video; discovering new, global musics (e.g. Carnatic/Hindusthani; Gahu/Ewe; Middle Eastern; South/Central American) and understanding their cultural significance; and exploring cross-curricular ethnographic connections through the creation of a multimedia-based presentation of a personal music ethnography. In addition to their general music instruction, students in Grades Five through Eight may join the Congressional Chorale, a choral ensemble that studies a variety of repertoire and performs frequently both on- and off-campus. This performance-based study allows serious musicians to continue their musical instruction once their trimester of music has ended.

New Hope for Breast, Prostate Cancer Testing
By Dennis Thompson
HealthDay Reporter
MONDAY, Oct. 28 (HealthDay News) -- Doctors believe they have found telltale signs that can indicate whether breast or prostate malignancies will remain dormant or develop into aggressive cancers.
These indicators -- called "biomarkers" -- are found in the blood or tissues of people with breast or prostate cancer. Researchers hope to one day use them to develop tests that will determine the cancer treatment each patient will need.
"It's a dream, I would say, at the moment. And it's a hope," Dr. Clifford Hudis, president of the American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO), said of the potential for using biomarkers to help determine a person's risk of aggressive cancer. "But it's not yet clinically validated, and it's not useful yet for patients."
Two research teams are scheduled to present their findings on possible biomarkers for breast and prostate cancer this week at the International Conference on Frontiers in Cancer Prevention Research, hosted by the American Association for Cancer Research, at the National Harbor in Oxon Hill, Md.
Doctors with the University of Pennsylvania reported that the presence of a protein called Vav2 in breast tissue might indicate whether a precancerous condition called ductal carcinoma in situ, or DCIS, will develop into invasive breast cancer.
Meanwhile, Johns Hopkins researchers said chromosomes in a man's blood might provide evidence that a prostate cancer will develop in an aggressive manner.
There is widespread concern that in both DCIS and prostate cancer, doctors tend to overtreat patients.
Two-thirds of DCIS cases never progress to full-fledged invasive cancer, ASCO's Hudis said, "which means when we treat DCIS, we are treating many people who would never have developed invasive cancer."
And few men with prostate cancer actually die as a result of the cancer, which has prompted much debate over whether doctors should treat it, said William Phelps, program director for the American Cancer Society. The available treatments often lead to unpleasant side effects such as incontinence and impotence.
"The treatments themselves are not very good," Phelps said of prostate cancer. "If the treatments were fairly nondamaging, you'd just say, 'Well, let's treat everybody.'"

ELDRED – The former head of the Eldred Central School District's business office began serving a 10-month jail sentence this week for stealing $20,000 from the Sullivan County school district.
Wllliam Thornton, who pleaded guilty in December to two counts of grand larceny, both felonies, was sentenced Wednesday by Sullivan County Court Judge Michael McGuire. He must serve at least 200 days of that term and pay $20,000 to the district's insurance company in restitution, along with a fine and penalties. He also lost all of his educational licenses.
Thornton, of Monticello, was arrested in November 2012 for electronically transferring the money from a district account.
"With Mr. Thornton's sentencing, we can now close the book on this very unfortunate circumstance," said Eldred Superintendent Robert Dufour in a press release. "We are very relieved that this chapter has come to an end."

Adelaide United eliminated from Asian Champions League after 3-2 extra-time loss to Bunyodkor
- From: AAP
- October 04, 2012
Adelaide United's Asian Champions League campaign ended in dramatic fashion in Tashkent, where they twice surrendered a lead before falling 3-2 in extra-time to Uzbekistan club Bunyodkor.
Bunyodkor vs Adelaide
Adelaide, who headed into the second-leg quarter-final clash needing goals after last month's 2-2 draw between the teams, were reduced to 10 men in the dying stages of regular time when Fabian Barbiero was given his second yellow card of the match.
With the sides locked two goals apiece and 30 minutes to play, few gave the travel-weary Reds any hope of advancing to the semi-finals.
The visitors were competitive after the restart and their confidence was boosted after 10 minutes when Bunyodkor defender Anvar Gafurov was given his marching orders for a second yellow card.
The hosts, who had dominated possession and cut the Reds through the middle with some clinical passing for the majority of the game, were suddenly looking shaky and the pace of the game slowed.
But Adelaide were unable to make the most of it, Bunyodkor substitute Alibobo Rahmatullaev pouncing in the 114th minute to give his side the lead for the first time.
Lutfulla Turaev, who scored the first equaliser for the home side, floated a pinpoint pass to Rahmatullaev at the back post and his header went sizzling past Reds goalkeeper Eugene Galekovic.
United finished the spiteful match with nine men, defender Iain Fyfe collecting his second yellow for an ungainly lunge on Jasur Hasanov.
The Reds' bid to reach the Champions League final for the second time in four years started brightly with Iain Ramsay firing from the cusp of the box and opening the scoring, as he did in last month's first leg in Adelaide.
It proved to be the match's turning point.
Bunyodkor were sparked to life and would have had a couple of goals by half-time if not for Galekovic, who was indomitable between the posts and unlucky to concede three goals in the match.
Skipper Viktor Karpenko and Hasanov ran rings around Adelaide, as the hosts attacked regularly and with purpose.
Galekovic needed to pull out a fantastic double stop in which he parried Jan Kozak's long-range effort and instinctively deflected Kamoliddin Murzoev's follow-up.
He was undone in the 13th minute when a looping ball from Karpenko found the head of Turaev in the box.
Galekovic worked hard to keep the terms level at half-time, twice stopping Murzoev when the striker only had the keeper to beat.
Argentine substitute Jeronimo Neumann put the visitors back in front in the 63rd minute, but Bunyodkor answered through Akmal Shorahmedov and continued to press, including an impressive bicycle-kick volley from Murzoev that tested the woodwork.
Adelaide must now rebuild for their opening A-League clash with Newcastle Jets at Hunter Stadium on Sunday.

I immediately called thier 800 number and aske what the deal was. I was told that the credit card information was "inherited" from the Fandango Movie tickets transaction and that the $10.00 was the membership fee. They agreed to refund the charge and cancel the membership.
The disturbing part is they never said "This will cost $10.00", and sharing my charge card info?? Had I been made aware of membership fee of $10.00 the session would have ended there and To not have been prompted for my card number? Both of these companies are greedy pigs.

There was a big birthday party Thursday evening celebrating 50 years for the shopping center that started it all in North Hills.
The East Mississippi Business Development Corporation held its business after hours event at Broadmoor Mart Thursday evening. It was a way to honor that strip mall, which was the first of its kind in the state.
Owners of the shopping center say support of the community has helped with the center's growth.
"It is definitely special. We appreciate all of them coming because it goes to show people remember the course of the history of this shopping center. And we know it can continue to be a vibrant part of North Meridian," says Barbaree Heaster, one of the owners of Broadmoor Mart.
Business after hours started at 5 and lasted until 7. Owners of Broadmoor Mart say it was the perfect way to celebrate.

Yep. You need a few coats of black to get a solid base. And I'd say the glitter is more goldish. A nice mix. I love it! I've had so many compliments lol do it!
Dec 30, 2012
So you used the black glittery one as like a base then put the silver polish in top?
Aaaand here's one more shot :D
Thanks! I picked these up at target last week..never tried the brand but I'm a sucker for glitter and these are lovely! It's L'oreal polish in the bigger the better (it's a little funky like black/silver glitter mix not a solid color so I did 2 coats) and a top coat of sparklicious. It is fairly textured so I used a nice thick top coat. I think the dark one could be a fantastic base for a galaxy nails! Happy new year lovely!

Not a very compelling insight, but an insight nonetheless.
Very average.

I'm no pro photographer, but I enjoy taking pictures in my spare time. I've always loved taking pictures, but my serious passion for photography developed about a year ago. Maybe I'll take a photography class one day, but until then I'll just keep experimenting.
I just bought my first Nikon and I have no clue how to work its five billion settings. Let's hope for the best!
I love macro, nature, and landscape photography, but I'm currently lacking picturesque scenes to photograph, so I'll have to make the best of what I've got! Thanks for taking the time to look through my pictures! Enjoy! :)

Broncos Roll in Border Clash
May 3, 2014
BOISE, Idaho - Boise State collected five first-place finishes and logged several other quality performances in the final day of the Idaho-Utah Border Clash Saturday afternoon at Dona Larsen Park. The Border Clash was the last team meet for the Broncos before they travel to Laramie, Wyo., to compete in the MW Outdoor Championships on May 14-17.
Allison Jeffries had arguably the best day of any Bronco after she won the women's pole vault for the fourth-consecutive weekend. Her mark of 12-7.50 (3.85m) was the first time in three weeks that the freshman from Eagle, Idaho., did not reset the women's outdoor pole vault school record. Jeffries topped off her first-place finish with a career-best time of 14.46 in the 100m hurdles, good for second place.
The 400m hurdles proved to be one of the Broncos' best events of the day. Chelsey Washington placed second (1:03.61) for the women, but it was Fernando Martinez and his second-place finish that got the crowd at Ed Jacoby Track on their feet. Martinez's 50.44 was the second-fastest 400m hurdles time in school history. Fittingly, Martinez was right on the heels of the school record-holder himself, Jordin Andrade (50.03). Andrade competed unattached and fought off a big push from Martinez in the last 100 meters.
Shannon Jacobs, the senior from Gilbert, Ariz., turned in a solid day in the sprints. She began by taking second in the 100m and followed up in the 200m with a fourth-place finish (24.82).
Washington added to her day by running the second leg of the first place women's 4x100m team (46.81). Washington, Jacobs, Brandi Williams and Kimberly Miller posted their fastest time of the season. The men finished in fourth place (41.60).
In the 1,500m, Rhys Park took fourth on the men's side with a 3:58.63 and Danielle Zehrung finished in second-place with a 4:46.13. Zehrung's performance on Saturday gives her two consecutive weekends with a top-two finish.
Jordan Ward and Roderick Townsend lead the Broncos in the high jump with Ward placing second (5-7 / 1.70m) on the women's side and Townsend capturing first place (6-9.75 / 2.08m) for the men. Jasmyn Jewett recorded a season-best jump of 5-5 (1.65m) and snagged third place.
Jewett carried over her momentum from the high jump into the triple jump where she bounded her way to a first-place finish (41-6.50 / 12.66m). Jewett's triple jump mark was a season best and an Ed Jacoby Track record. Josephine Lawrence took third with a 37-7.25 (11.46m).
Justin Malnes and Danny Verdieck finished in the top five of the men's 110m hurdles. Malnes placed second after he crossed the line in 14.79 and Verdieck finished fourth after clocking a 15.05.
Dominique Drayden placed third (46-7.25 / 14.20m) in the triple jump and Keefe Hanson ran away with first place in the 3,000m with a season-best time of 9:47.87.
Emma Bates (10,000m), Marisa Howard (3,000m steeplechase), Allan Schroeder (3,000m steeplechase) and Zach Wiles (3,000m steeplechase) are set to compete tomorrow in Stanford, Calif., at the Payton Jordan Cardinal Invitational. The four Broncos will be racing amongst the premier long distance runners in the world.

'Hiroshi Sugimoto: Black Box' ponders representations of representations
by John Tran
"Black Box" is the most recent publication of works by Japanese photographer Hiroshi Sugimoto. It spans the entirety of his artistic career, from the natural history "Dioramas" of the 1970s to his recent "Lightning Fields" series. It also includes a wide-ranging discussion between Sugimoto ...


text: If the first trailer didn't sell you on Michael Bay's third installment in the Transformers series—maybe this new one will. It has more footage than the previous one, but for me it's still missing what I loved most about the first two films. Yes, wait for it… still no Megan Fox. Without her, this movie isn't even worth renting. Okay, I'm lying, after watching this trailer—I'll be there on opening day. See it after the break and Transformers 3: Dark of the Moon opens on July 1st.
