I disagree with the idea to eradicate the graffiti.
Firstly, from my own knowledge I know that people use graffiti as freestyle art to express their feelings.
Secondly, most teenagers enjoy the look of graffiti. For example, the graffiti is colourful and grabs the attention of the teen viewers.
Lastly, I think the town should build a structure for the display of graffiti that is appropriate. This way it will stop the artists from vandalizing public property.
In conclusion, I strongly believe that the ABIA should not get rid of the graffiti, because I think it shows a purpose.
Grade 7 student,
Tottenham Public School
Editor's Note: This is one of several letters submitted to us by Tottenham Public School Grade 7 students who were doing a class project on newspapers and opinion pages. The rest of the letters follows…
Dear Editor:
On behalf of all graffiti lovers in Alliston I would like to make a response to the article, 'Company hired to erase graffiti.'
First I would like to say that I strongly disagree with the points that were supported within it. The text itself, summed up is saying that 'Graffiti is a nuisance and must be destroyed immediately.'
All forms of graffiti are a form of art, even tags! All other forms of graffiti are fine in my opinion. Bad language may be trying to express one's feelings or emotions, and expressing your feelings/emotions or your opinion is not illegal.
On the point of graffiti being illegal, it should not be considered vandalism because graffiti is art, not deliberately mischievous or malicious destruction or damage of property, which is what it is defined as. Just because the government doesn't like it, doesn't mean it's bad.
I am responding to your article stating that the city of Alliston will be removing graffiti.
I am opposed to the removal of graffiti because it is a form of expression. Temoving it will only increase defiance from those who spray it, and isn't worth the money to remove graffiti very few notice.
Firstly, many young people use graffiti as a way to express their emotions and opinions, which means some graffiti represents public opinion. Not removing graffiti would allow people to take a look at another side of public opinion expressed through images spray painted on walls.
Secondly, removing graffiti has the potential to increase defiance among those who create it. This is their way of expressing themselves and stopping it could lead them to believe their thoughts and ideas are being censored. Due to this belief there is a possibility for an influx of graffiti that the company might not be able to handle, thus contradicting the whole process.
Finally, there is very little noticeable graffiti in Alliston, which means the money is wasted. There has been no rise in graffiti sprayings to cause this motion, and graffiti has been overlooked until now, so I see no reason to pay money for a minor concern such as this.
Graffiti is a method of expression, and if not all, opinionated and expressive graffiti should be kept.
Grade 7 student
This is my opinion on the article "Company Hired To Erase Graffiti." I think that the graffiti in Alliston should be erased. This is because it is ugly.
Sure, some graffiti is "art" but the graffiti in alliston is just an eyesore. It's mostly tags and lots of offensive pictures and words. Secondly, it may stop customers from visiting shops.
If your buisness has ugly, offensive graffiti on the building, people may think it is very run down and that it doesn't have a good atmosphere.
Also, it is a bad influence. If a little kid sees graffiti they might think it is cool and start vandalizing when they are older.
Lastly, if there was graffiti everywhere, visitors to Alliston might think there are violent gangs everywhere.
Maybe the ABIA could put up a wall designated for graffiti where nobody can see it. That way everyone is happy. that is why I think the ABIA should erase all graffiti.
This letter is in response to the article "Company Hired to Erase Graffiti". I think that erasing graffiti is a bad idea because the graffiti gives an artistic look to a somewhat plain town.
Firstly, not all graffiti is bad. The good graffiti can contain a positive message for children.
Secondly, the town shouldn't be spending its money on something like graffiti that's bound to happen again. They should be spending it on a new skatepark for the kids who are so bored they decide to tag or draw graffiti.
In conclusion I think erasing the graffiti is a bad idea because Alliston is such a plain town.
I think that graffiti can stay but they should get their own place to do it. I believe this because it is a free country and people should be able to do whatever they want.
Insted of doing graffiti on private properties they should get their own place to do it, examples are maybe an abandoned wall or building.
Sometimes I think people shouldn't get in trouble for doing graffiti because it is just a way to express yourself. I mean I know graffiti can be bad, like if it were bad and offensive, then yes, it should get taken down. But if it wasn't rude or offensive then it has no right to be taken down. Graffiti is art - and people have rights. That is why I think graffiti can stay.
In response to the graffiti article, my opinion is that not all graffiti is bad and should be erased forever.
I agree that some graffiti should be erased because it is rude or it's sending bad messages and it's vandalizing some areas of property which may or may not be bad for that property, but in other ways, graffiti is art and it doesn't always send bad messages.
My idea is to erase graffiti that sends bad messages or damages property and to put the preventing coating on the certain areas were it has occurred.
My first reason is because it might be sending wrong messages to the wrong people, and secondly, art is not bad and graffiti is a part of art and should be expressed in many ways.
Therefore in conclusion these are my reasons for getting rid of some graffiti.
This letter is in response to your article 'Company hired to erase graffiti.'
I think that graffiti should be allowed since it is a great way to express your feelings.
For example, would you rather have people do what they are feeling or just express it on a wall?
If you don't want people to spray stuff on trains or sides of buildings then make them their own wall that they can spray paint on and do whatever they want.
Therefore that is why I think you should not erase graffiti and let them do it.
I am writing this letter to you in response to the article, 'Company hired to erase graffiti.'
My opinion about graffiti is that it's an unattractive way to express your opinion. One good reason is that it may repel customers from stores and small buisnesses.
The sight of graffiti is an instant negative thought towards the shop. This makes people avoid the business/store.
My second and last reason is that graffiti makes the neighborhood look dirty and unsafe. The reason for this is tags and other types of graffiti makes a random person think the city is full of gangs. This creates the image that the town is full of poverty and stealing, not a very good place to be.
This letter sums up my strong feelings to erase graffiti around Alliston.
A Grade 7 student
This letter is in response to your article on graffiti.
My opinion is that it depends on where the graffiti is, of course I am just a Grade 7 student at Tottenham Public School. But if the graffiti is in an alley or under a bridge, it should be left alone because no one will see it. Plus, they took all the time to get it there so why not leave it?
Also if you don't want graffiti on buildings or mailboxes, build a wall specifically for graffiti, that might stop the teenagers from doing it anywhere else.
Just put the special coating on the wall so if there is swearing it will come right off.
This is a response to your article 'Company hired to erase graffiti.'
I am a Grade 7 student at Tottenham Public School. My opinion on this article is different from yours.
I think the removal of the graffiti depends on the type. Firstly, it depends if it is artistic or disgusting. For example, if it is artistic it should stay up and if it is disgusting it should be taken down immediately.
Secondly. it depends on where it is. For example, if it is on a mailbox or train it should be taken down because it is on personal property. If it is in an alley it shouldn't be removed.
Thirdly it depends if it is offensive or not. If it is offensive it should be removed. If it is nice it should stay up.
Please consider my ideas about graffiti. Thanks for your time.
I think that graffiti can be both good and bad. Some of it is good but some is inappropriate. The reason why I think that graffiti is good and bad is because a lot of graffiti is good art. I think that the good graffiti is alright and it should stay on the walls.
I don't think that the people who are spraying graffiti should not be doing it on other people's property and their walls and/or public or private property.
I also agree with the ABIA because some of it is really bad and should not be on walls and other things at all.
This letter is in response to the article, 'Company hired to erase graffiti' written by Maija Hoggett.
I disagree with what Alliston is doing. For one the town will be wasting the taxpayers' money by throwing it away to a company to erase a little bit of graffiti.
Secondly the graffiti in Alliston is just some kids expressing themselves through art.
Besides the only real graffiti in Alliston is under the bridge going to the hospital. It's not like anybody is going to see it.
I suggest that the town should donate a piece of land to build a park where kids can come and spray paint anything they want. But the park should have rules such as no inappropriate words or pictures.
This letter is in a response to the article "Company hired to erase graffiti.'
I personally think that you shouldn't get rid of the graffiti. I believe this because some of the graffiti is really fantastic. If the town doesn't like the graffiti they should put some money into a wall so people can go and do graffiti legally, that way there will not be any graffiti on schools and other public or private buildings. I also think that some graffiti should be erased off the building if it is inappropriate.
I am writing to you in regards to the ABIA removing graffiti and tags from the Alliston area.
I believe that the graffiti should be removed, but the town of Alliston should provide a wall or area to spray.
Firstly, graffiti artists only spray because they feel like they are all alone and they need to express themselves for the world to see. If they see that they can express themselves in an area and be surrounded by people who are like them and have the same interest (graffiti) they will go to that area.
Secondly another problem is with graffiti is tags. Tags are inappropriate and should not be tolerated. All tags should be removed.
Lastly, trains. Many people of the New Tec area believe that the graffiti on the side of trains is the only enjoyment of sitting in a car and watching a train go by.
In conclusion, I believe that graffiti has good and bad sides, appropriate and inappropriate sides and to fix it there should be a wall or other area provided for artists to spray.
I think that there should be graffiti but in depends where it is.
It's interesting to do and look at, but it should be appropriate things, not inappropriate things (e.g. swear words or rude hand signs). Vandals should not put those kinds of things down because kids and others walk past it, depending on where it is.
Also it depends where you put the graffiti. A person should not spray paint certain buildings (e.g. subway stations, schools, government/work buildings).
This is why I think that there should be graffiti but in certain places. Also I read the article about how someone hired a company to get rid of graffiti. Well the vandals might get upset.
Me, a random person/student that is sending you a message from Tottenham Public
This is a resonse to your article 'Company hired to erase graffiti.'
I am a student from Tottenham Public School. My opinion on this article is I think the argument between whether graffiti is bad or not depends on a few things.
First, it depends on where it is. For example, if it is in an alley, who cares? Hardly anyone is going to see it.
However, I believe if it's on private property, such as a work building, then it is wrong.
Also, it depends on what it is. For instance, if it is a drawing, quite well done, I think it should stay, but if there is swearing, writing or rude comments, I believe it should be removed promptly.
Lastly, it depends if it's offensive, rude or innapropriate. Obviously, if it is rude or racist, then it is exactly that, rude and innapropriate. Thank you for your time.
I am responding to the letter "Company Hired to Erase Graffiti" My opinion of the article is that it depends.
I think that the graffiti removal should and should not be done.
I think this because removing small portions of graffiti is a waste of money, but removing large portions of it would be more reasonable.
I also think that it would be a better solution if people would set aside walls or place's for people to tag or "Bomb."

December 27, 1999
The ordinance is the latest significant piece of legislation required to fully implement the Growth Management Act and the 1994 King County Comprehensive Plan. Ordinance 13694 was passed by the County Council on December 13, 1999.
The Land Segregation ordinance covers all land segregation activities in both the rural and urban portions of unicorporated King County. The legislation accomplishes three things:
"The Land Segregation Ordinance modernizes a section of the County Code which has not been comprehensively reviewed in over 40 years," said Executive Ron Sims. "This ordinance is critical to successful implementation of the County's Comprehensive Plan and my Comprehensive Rural Strategy." Sims states further," Requiring large segregations to go through the plat or short plat review process means that these lots will be created in a way that is mindful of environmental protection and integrity in infrastructure."
For copies of the ordinance, please contact the Director's Office at the King County Department of Development and Environmental Services at (206) 296-6705. For additional information, contact the following DDES staff: Mark Carey, Land Use Services Division Manager, at (206) 296-7717; Sophia Byrd, Code Development Coordinator, at (206) 296-6612; or Paula Adams, Communications Director, at (206) 296-6682.

Developing Mistakes and Its Beauty2009-07-16 10 7 Share Tweet
A critical step in developing films is loading it correctly in the reel, but doing it wrongly can give you some good surprises!
Loading the film in the reel is one of my nightmares when developing at home with Rodinal. You have to be careful not to have the film not to touch itself or else everything could go wrong. I have to confess, I am not good at this. Actually all the films I have loaded in my stainless steel reel have touched itself. But instead of being depressed about it, I have been surprised by the results, the beauty of the unexpected.!
The effect that it has on the final photo is that you will get a burnt effect. Chemical reaction goes crazy in the parts where the film contacts itself and gives this unexpected bonus to your photos.
So if you are not good loading your films when developing, then it is not a bad case after all. Just do it like me and let the mistakes give you this old-style, bad-treated photos for it has a great charm of its own!

Reasons that Makes the Vietnamese Dong Currency More Reasonable to Invest?
The Vietnamese dong is one type of investment that needs to be looked into by various investment minded people the world over. This particular currency had proved itself to be one of the best currencies that anyone can invest in. Investing in this currency of course will give you a meaningful yield in your investment at the end of the day. It is one investment that you can actually invest in without the fear of incurring any unnecessary loss at the end of the day. There are so many things that really will make sure that your investment will never be a regrettable one at the end of the day.
There are several factors that can possibly make the Vietnamese dong something worthwhile to invest in. things are really moving in favor of the Vietnamese currency presently to the extent that you can be making a wrong move by investing in the currency. The earlier you get yourself well seated in this investment opportunity the better. One thing that I will want you to be fully aware of is the fact that this investment opportunity may not be available for long. This means that you will do yourself a world of good by investing n the Vietnamese dong now before it is too late.
One of the factors that are working in favor of the Vietnamese dong and the Vietnamese economy is the recent approval of the country by the World Trade Organization as a member. The World Trade Organization finally accepted the country as its 150th member some days ago. With this approval; the number of trades that the Vietnamese nation will be involved in will increase a great deal and it can go as high as 40%. This increase will of course make it very possible for the Vietnamese dong to appreciate in value. This appreciation will of course lead to a situation whereby anyone who had made the move of investing in the Vietnamese dong will find his or her investment appreciating in value too.
The number of foreign companies that are presently operating in the country of Vietnam is so high. This is helping to increase the amount of direct investment into the country's economy by foreign companies. Because of this; there is more provision of employment for people in Vietnam. With this provision of jobs comes the availability of more money in the country's economy and this is helping to rebuild the country's economy fast. This fast pace at which the Vietnamese economy is growing is one factor that will work in favor of any investor who makes the move to invest in the Vietnamese dong.
Another factor that needs to be considered is the fact that Vietnam has an economy that had been adjudged the second fastest growing economy in the whole of Asia; second only to china. This alone is enough to give some measure of security to your investment in the Vietnamese dong. It will be great if you as an investor can make the good use of this opportunity while it presents itself.

Overnight Jubilee campers soaked
Published 04/06/2012
Ardent royalists who decided to camp on the Mall have been desperately trying to dry out after a night of torrential rain.
As Stevie Wonder ran through his sound checks to the delight of thousands of well-wishers who had turned up early to bag a spot closest to Buckingham Palace, the few who had decided to camp overnight were doing their best to keep warm.
Sophie Carter, 21, from Preston, Lancashire, said her tent had turned in to a "lake" during the night. She had travelled to London with nine other friends - self-named the Lancashire Lasses - for the weekend and their only dry remaining piece of clothing seemed to be their luminous pink hoodies.
She said: "It literally rained torrentially all night. We have already done an emergency Primark run to pick up some wellies."
Bernadette Christie, 29, had flown over from Grande Prairie, Canada, for the four days. She was forced to abandon her water-logged tent after she was soaked through watching the flotilla. She was left wearing two airline blankets as all her other clothes were drenched.
Shortly before midday, to the relief of the crowds, the sun came out. Lindsey Cranfield, 56, from Horsham, West Sussex, was glad she had booked a hotel all the same.
"We saw all the people camping at the Royal Wedding but we thought it was going to be too hard," she said. "After watching the flotilla in the rain yesterday, we were just glad to get back to a warm, dry hotel."
The Watson family travelled down from Ilkley, West Yorkshire, to take in the atmosphere.
Margaret Watson, 73, remembers watching the Coronation on the television, which had been bought especially so her family could watch the event.
She said: "I am here to say thank you to the Queen for all she has done. I am just so pleased to have lived through her reign."

Atlas Mara, the acquisition vehicle of the former chief executive of Barclays, is understood to have accepted that it will not raise the full sum targeted in a placing announced in May and is likely to settle for about $300 million, although the capital raising remains open for a few weeks.

The founder of a Philadelphia nonprofit journalism start-up has resigned because the cash-strapped organization could no longer afford to retain him as CEO, he announced Thursday.
AxisPhilly, founded in January 2012 by Neil Budde, 57, is facing dim financial prospects and plans to reduce its yearly budget by half. The reduction includes savings from the departure of Budde, a former Wall Street Journal editor who said only that his compensation was aligned with an organization with a $1 million yearly budget. AxisPhilly will now aim for a $500,000 yearly budget, he said.

ONE candidate promises to fill the streets with trees, another wants to build shelters for flash floods, many claim they would stamp out corruption if elected to the municipal council in the first nationwide elections that begin on 10 February.
And because Saudis have never voted in a regular election, stories of first-time faux pas fill newspapers: the camel that escaped slaughter for a feast given by a candidate; the woman who called a candidate offering to be a second wife; and the reporter who decided to run so he could cover the registration of candidates.
Election time in the Riyadh region has invigorated the quiet capital, where the first phase of the municipal polls will be held on Thursday.
True, voters can elect only half the municipal members while the rest will be appointed by the government; women have been banned from running and voting; but the ballot is a concrete, if tiny, step in a reform process no-one had expected in Saudi Arabia. Plus, for the first time there are forums - daily meetings at candidates' HQs - where people can discuss social issues away from the eye of religious authorities.
The elections are part of the kingdom's measured response to calls for reforms long sought by liberals. They will give Saudis the chance to participate in decision-making in the absolute monarchy whose unelected consultative council acts like a parliament while political parties are banned and press freedoms limited. The elections have brought unfamiliar scenes to Riyadh residents.
Pictures of candidates appear in newspaper ads and on billboards in a country where depiction of the human face is considered un-Islamic. Carpeted tents serving as bases for candidates have been erected along highways, attracting potential voters with programmes featuring poets, lectures by experts in municipal services and feasts. Candidate flyers are thrown into open car windows, brochures are folded into newspapers and phone text messages extol candidates' virtues.
"Who would have thought that one day there would be candidates' pictures in the streets... that one day there will be slogans urging participation in decision-making?" asked Sulaiman al-Hattlan, a US- educated columnist for the Al-Watan daily newspaper.
"This is a sign that, given an opportunity to open up and adopt new concepts, society will take it," he added.
The municipal elections will be carried out in three phases, beginning with the Riyadh region, where about 1,800 candidates will contest 127 seats.
While candidates' platforms have focused on improving municipal services, some have taken their enthusiasm a bit too far. One, for instance, has promised to turn the government into an e-government.
One issue that has remained absent from the candidates' agendas is that of the role of women. The government has banned them from the polls, but some officials have promised they will take part in the second round in 2009.
But an article on a privately-owned website welcomed the ban, saying women belong at home and their participation would constitute "an interference in men's affairs".

Last year at the Marc's Great American Rib Cook Off, I was a judge along with radio personality Charlie the Engineer from WMMS FM/100.7's "Rover's Morning Glory" radio show.
I had been out there at The Plain Dealer booth selling copies of my book "Truth and Justice for Fun and Profit." It's a collection of 40 of my favorite magazine cover stories from The Plain Dealer and elsewhere. I gave Charlie a copy of my book as a professional courtesy from one rib judge to another.
This year, we were both judging again, and he thanked me for the book, saying that he enjoyed it before it was eaten by a pile of dirty laundry in his bedroom. Charlie also told me he recently purchased a Kindle and was on a book-reading tear. He asked me for a list of my favorite books.
I thought that since summer is upon us, this would be as good a time as any to share some of my favorite books and authors.
The first book I told Charlie about was "A Fan's Notes" by Frederick Exley. It's a quasi-autobiographical story about an alcoholic writer who has devoted his life, in part, to following the New York Giants football team. Frank Gifford makes several appearances. It's both a sad and funny story. It's quite a literary accomplishment.
I love crime fiction. My favorite of all of Elmore Leonard's books is one called "Killshot." It's about a husband and wife who, through no fault of their own, get swept up in the witness protection program after seeing a crime being committed. It was made into a movie with Mickey Rourke, and I was surprised that it went directly to video. I thought it was very good.
I'm also a huge fan of Daniel Woodrell. He writes a brand of crime fiction called "hillbilly noir." His stories take place in the Ozarks, and they are populated with meth cookers and squirrel hunters. He's best known for his book "Winter's Bone" because that was made into a great movie. But I recommend starting with his earlier novels, such as "Tomato Red" or "Give Us a Kiss" and working your way through his stuff from there.
I think Cormac McCarthy's best book is "No Country for Old Men," about a drug deal gone wrong and a contract killer on the loose. But I think his best Western is "Blood Meridian," about a gang of post-Civil War Confederate desperados. Nobody does gruesome violence like McCarthy. If you like that kind of thing.
I like humorous books, too. A couple of weeks ago I mentioned John Kennedy Toole's "A Confederacy of Dunces." It's a very funny book about a lost loser from New Orleans named Ignatius Reilly. Cleveland native and part-time rock star Dave Hill has written a collection of hilarious essays called "Tasteful Nudes: .¤.¤. and Other Misguided Attempts at Personal Growth and Validation." The book comes out this month.
I'm envious because Hill got a jacket blurb from my favorite comedian, Chris Elliott. Dave, I hate you.
Charlie, happy reading.

We really need a 'like' button on this forum.... Thanks for all the great answers! I can do something with that and learned something new as well
The way I understand and see it, the 'we weren't meant to drink milk' argument is less the only reason not to do dairy and more the reason behind the real reason we question dairy's part in our diet. Because dairy was obviously harder to get in the wild (I wouldn't want to go up to a random nursing wild animal and try to grab some milk!) humans didn't evolve to digest it; why would we when we never got it past infancy from our mothers? Eggs on the other hand were something humans (and most animals in fact) regularly ate if they could find them, so we evolved to be able to digest them. Eggs, like milk, are full of a lot of great nutrients because it's basically all the ingredients needed to grow a living animal.
That said, Primal doesn't 100% cut out dairy like Paleo does; a lot of societies subsisted on a lot of dairy because they were shepherds, so those people developed a tolerance for it that a lot of other people didn't. If dairy doesn't bother you then go for it; it does have its own health benefits and if the potential negatives don't effect you, it becomes just like any other food (at least that's how I see it). Eggs on the other hand are much more widely tolerated; it's much more rare that someone has a bad reaction to eggs - at that point it becomes an individual intolerance rather than a widespread one.
We really need a 'like' button on this forum.... Thanks for all the great answers! I can do something with that and learned something new as well
My story, My thought....
It's all about trying to stay healthy!!!!
My understanding was that dairy is generally avoided because it causes insulin spikes. http://www.marksdailyapple.com/dairy...#axzz2iYcoLiF0[URL]
The milk that human beings get from their mothers is very, very different from cow's milk- lower in protein, higher in fat, cholesterol, and carbohydrate.
Eggs are good to eat for all of the reasons already outlined here, although I generally try to avoid excessive amounts of anything and eat a varied diet.
You should ask your devilish friend why she calls "food" "food" at all. Ask her what is food and what isn't, and she'll quickly see the lines blur.
Steak, eggs, potatoes - fruits, nuts, berries and forage. Coconut milk and potent herbs and spices. Tea instead of coffee now and teeny amounts of kelp daily. Let's see how this does! Not really had dairy much, and gut seems better for it.
Did you have the conversation while making an omelet with a bit of milk stirred in the egg mix ?
Think about the nutrition, not the paleo dogma, for it is a dogma in the minds of many paleo enthusiast. Remember, nobody from 50 kYears ago or so are here to tell us what they were eating. So omelet with a bit of milk ... yeah!!!
The whole paleo story is stupid. It's all assumption. All that matters is nutrition-per-calorie vs ant-nutrients-per-calorie.
Why drink milk and eat eggs? They are extremely nutritious, have tons of fat-soluble nutrients, have the highest quality protein in nature and contain next to zero anti-nutrients. That's why you eat milk and eggs.
Why avoid wheat bread and soybean oil? They contain tons of calories, very little nutrition and tons of anti-nutrients. That's why you avoid bread and soybean oil.
It's simple. Anything else (like humans never ate grains, cow milk isn't for humans) is pure paleo fantasy.

Like J3nn said, we ate what was available and evolved to handle these foods. The paleo/primal/caveman diet is a "guideline". If it existed as a food in the paleo period, chances are we are evolved to optimize consumption of those foods. Those foods that were not available then, avoid. That is the "guideline". As mentioned by Kegas76, paleoman did not often sneak up and take a sip of milk because it was not readily available to him, and therefore, most of the human race has not evolved to handle milk digestion. However, as namelesswonder said, if you can tolerate it, there is nothing wrong with milk. I caution every person though, milk contains casein which promotes TNF alpha, an inflammatory trigger, the same metabolic response as gluten in wheat. So I avoid all milk products except grass fed butter and cheese over 6 months aged.
The Paleo Diet tells a story that we only eat what our Paleolithic ancestors eat. Now most of the people here have a far more sophisticated view of healthy food, but that is the Paleo Story. The genetic mutation that allows adult humans to consume dairy is more recent than the Paleolithic Era. Paleolithic people did not drink milk because it would have made them miserably sick. They did eat eggs.

The past year has been tumultuous for Carter, 25: In 2004 he dated, and very publicly split with, Paris Hilton, and in March he was arrested on charges of drunken driving in Huntington Beach, Calif. "I've had a lot of stuff that I've learned from," he says. "And I've been able to input that into the music." Besides the new BSB album, he's writing songs for his second solo release, the follow-up to 2002's Now or Never. "I like The Killers a lot. … Bob Dylan, Roy Orbison – I want to be able to put those types of influences into the music."
Carter has also been working to help his troubled family (parents Robert and Jane split in 2003, and the next year, brother Aaron, 17, accused his mom of stealing millions from him). Carter is close with Aaron and sister Bobbi, 23, who lives with him in L.A. "I'm basically assuming a father role," he says. As for his love life, he says, "I learned about what I want next time around and what I don't."
As the oldest Backstreet Boy, Richardson, 33, has always been somewhat of a patriarch for the group. "He keeps everyone together," says his wife of five years, actress Kristin Richardson. But he'd like to be a real dad soon: "Me and my wife have always wanted to have a family," he says. "Depending on her schedule and if things go well with the record and we tour all year, sometime after the tour we plan on starting a family."
Brevard County, Fla.-based Dorough, 31, is the group's multitasker: Besides running his own company, Howie Dorough Productions, he's been investing in real estate ("I'm doing condos and a hotel," he says) and trying his hand at acting (he has a small role in the upcoming drama Constellation, starring Gabrielle Union).
He's also still involved with the Caroline Dorough-Cochran Lupus Memorial Foundation, established after his older sister died in 1998 of complications from the disease. "You don't realize how good you have it until you lose someone close to you," the singer says.
Clean and sober since 2002, McLean, 27, is enjoying life without alcohol. "I have no desire to drink ever again," says McLean. These days, he gets his buzz from the audience at BSB concerts. "The crowd is so hyped," he says. "You feed off of that. It's like a drug that won't kill you. It's a good drug."
The L.A.-based singer, who shares his home with his Bernese mountain dog, Bernie Mac, is also happily single: He and his former fiancée, singer Sarah Martin, split a couple of years ago.
"Being a father has made me very selfless," says Brian Littrell, the only BSB member who's also a dad. The 30-year-old has a son, Baylee, 2-1/2, with his wife of four years, actress Leighanne Littrell. "I think it changes things for the better because the other members (of the group) understand me a little more."
Littrell, who underwent surgery in 1998 to repair a congenital heart defect, now has a clean bill of health and is pursuing a career as a solo artist. He'll release his Christian-music CD in November. "There's a song on my record called 'My Answer Is You' that talks about how my life is different because faith is in my heart."

At our PR News Media Relations Forum on March 10, there was a lot of talk about Twitter, Facebook and other social media tools. We were proud to hear that on the day of our event so many people were Twittering about the content from the Forum that it was one of the top 10 trending topics (#mrf09). Shows what a small universe Twitter really is right now.
But for all the talk about these platforms, most business people really don't know how to capitalize on these tools and many are wearing the same hat when using social media at home and at work. Your CEO says, "let's have a Facebook page" and the next day, there it is. Then what? Hence, we are reading tweets or Facebook updates about our colleagues grabbing a cup of coffee or so bored at work they're gonna scream (what are they thinking?!). More and more brands are using social media to great effect, such as Mars' Skittles site (for branding/engagement) or Comcast on Twitter (for customer service), Ernst & Young (recruiting) or Ellen Degeneres (viewer engagement). Ellen just set up a Twitter account a few days ago and has about 120,000 followers. At the PR News forum, attendees were so engaged and such great reporters that, for those who couldn't be at the event, it was the next best thing.
As always, content will be king. So make sure you are giving your audience/prospective audience content they can use to make their personal or professional lives richer. As one of our Forum panelists, Media 2.0 blogger and imc strategy lab director Rob Hecht, noted: "Social media is a commitment, not just a campaign." Commit to good content.

Circa 1935 Babe Ruth Single-Signed Baseball
Starting Bid - $1,000.00 , Sold For - $4,700.00
Spalding "Star" baseball signed by Babe Ruth across the sweet spot. Ruth's signature has been scripted in blue fountain pen and grades "7." This particular Spalding ball, "No 6-H," dates from the 1930s, thus offering a fifty-fifty chance that it was signed by Ruth during his playing career (Ruth retired in 1935). Ruth signed a lot of baseballs over the years, and fortunately some of the survivors fall in between near-perfect condition (and valued at a small fortune by the marketplace) and low-grade (still valuable but far less so, and lacking in display value). This is a very desirable, very attractive mid-grade Ruth single-signed ball. The ball is moderately soiled and displays a number of minor abrasions. All of the manufacturer's stampings are bold and legible. Very Good condition. LOA from James Spence/JSA. Reserve $1,000. Estimate $2,000/$3,000. SOLD FOR $4,700.00

Technical Notes
The 2009 Malbec Single Vineyard was sourced from a site planted in 1929, with the wine aged in new French oak for 18-20 months. A glass-coating opaque purple color, it offers up an alluring nose of sandalwood, Asian spices, incense, floral notes, and assorted red and black fruits. Structured on the palate, dense, and layered, it unfortunately displays some bitterness in its finish. It is still a classy effort, but the possibility exists that this was not a pristine bottle.

on May 10, 2013 - 12:01 AM
With the election over, it's time for the investigators to get to work. The Buffalo School Board election was rife with violations – legal and olfactory – that demand an accounting.
It's not just the odoriferous nature of the expensive flyers that targeted candidates opposed by the state and local teachers unions, though they were obscene in their attacks on both Carl Paladino and those they sought to associate with him. Alone, those vile flyers need to be tracked to their origin – New York State United Teachers has stopped denying involvement – so the perpetrators can explain themselves.
More troubling, though, is the impunity with which donors and candidates alike flout laws on financial disclosure. They have been emboldened, no doubt, by years in which election and law enforcement officials simply disregarded violations. With no price to pay, why bother complying?
Here are some reasons:
• It's the law. Elected officials and those who seek elected office need to set an example of compliance.
• School Board elections are important. They may seem, from some perspectives, to be stepchildren in the hierarchy of democratic life, but they help to determine, in no small way, the quality of education a community's children can receive. Nowhere is that more urgent than in Buffalo, where – as in other big city districts – student achievement and graduation rates are shamefully low.
• Residents have the legal right to know who is supporting candidates vying for their votes. That is critical information. It makes a difference if a would-be member of the local School Board is being influenced by school reform groups, or parents organizations, or teachers unions or anyone else.
Yet, despite that need, the law is routinely violated and rarely, if ever, enforced. What is more, the law, itself, is a relic of the 19th century, requiring paper filings that make piecing together the puzzle of campaign donations far more difficult than it should be.
Here is some of what The News recently uncovered in analyzing donations to Buffalo School Board candidates over the past two election cycles:
• Christopher L. Jacobs, now Erie County clerk, raised $52,000 for his campaign four years ago and did not disclose the identity of a single contributor, as state law requires.
• The same year, the Buffalo Niagara Partnership spent more than $26,000 on behalf of Jacobs and two other board members – even though the law limited spending to no more than $25 per candidate.
• The following year, a downstate education reform group spent $50,000 to promote a few candidates, by its own account. Education Reform Now disregarded the $25 limit, and there is no indication it ever reported its expenditures.
• The Buffalo Teachers Federation spent more than $13,000 in 2009 and 2010 to support its favored candidates, but the actual figures seem likely to have been much higher, based on ambiguities in some of the reporting and omissions in candidates' reporting.
These are disturbing practices that document an important law that is neither obeyed nor enforced. This needs to be the year that changes, if for no other reason than to ensure that candidates and donors in next year's elections, when voters will decide who fills three at-large seats, know they will be expected to toe the line.

|Noteworthy ETF Outflows: SMH, TSM, ASML, ARMH
ETF Channel Staff - Thursday, February 7, 2:02 PMSymbols mentioned in this story: SMH, TSM, ASML, ARMH
Exchange traded funds (ETFs) trade just like stocks, but instead of ''shares'' investors are actually buying and selling ''units''. These ''units'' can be traded back and forth just like stocks, but can also be created or destroyed to accommodate investor demand. Each week we monitor the week-over-week change in shares outstanding data, to keep a lookout for those ETFs experiencing notable inflows (many new units created) or outflows (many old units destroyed). Creation of new units will mean the underlying holdings of the ETF need to be purchased, while destruction of units involves selling underlying holdings, so large flows can also impact the individual components held within ETFs.
Looking today at week-over-week shares outstanding changes among the universe of ETFs covered at ETF Channel, one standout is the Semiconductor ETF (SMH) where we have detected an approximate $98.0 million dollar outflow -- that's a 27.7% decrease week over week (from 10,121,000 to 7,320,937). Among the largest underlying components of SMH, in trading today Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co., Ltd. (TSM) is up about 0.2%, ASML Holding NV (ASML) is down about 1.5%, and Arm Holdings Plc (ARMH) is lower by about 0.7%. For a complete list of holdings, visit the SMH Holdings page �
The chart below shows the one year price performance of SMH, versus its 200 day moving average:
Looking at the chart above, SMH's low point in its 52 week range is $29.56 per share, with $36.17 as the 52 week high point � that compares with a last trade of $34.63. Comparing the most recent share price to the 200 day moving average can also be a useful technical analysis technique -- learn more about the 200 day moving average �.

Twitter Trends: #PerksOfDatingMeKrishann Briscoe
Last night my husband and I went on our first real date in what feels like has been forever. As we drove to our destination I gave in to my iPhone addiction and took to Twitter to see what was happening in the twittersphere. How appropriate was it that #perksofdatingme was trending. After all, being a married man and taking your wife out on a date has some perks, perks like:
You're sure to score at the end of the night (unless the baby wakes up of course). #perksofdatingme
I won't order the most expensive thing on the menu because I checked our account balance before we left. #perksofdatingme
No awkward silence during dinner because I will talk about our sweet children the entire time. #perksofdatingme
Ran out of cheesy pickup lines? No worries! They worked! I've said "I do" already. #perksofdatingme
I'll only have eyes for you. Forever. For always. #perksofdatingme
Clearly I am on a roll here and clearly my husband was well aware that there were many perks when it came to dating me. So many in fact, that he married me to guarantee that I would always be his date (Yes, he married a cornball. Another perk!).
Below are a few tweets for this trending topic. Tweeters were confident this week sharing their attributes, letting their followers know that they had much to offer. Read them and if you're up to it share the perks of dating you; I'm sure there are many. No need to hold back. You've got it going on!
Happy dating!

In 2007 I predicted Wii Fit would sell more than Super Smash Bros. Brawl.
EVERYONE at wiichat.com disagreed with me.
As it stands today:
Super Smash Bros. Brawl: 9.49 Million
Wii Fit: 35 Million
Hey, that sounds FUN! We rented Excite Truck when we first got the Wii and I don't know when the family have cheered and laughed that much playing a game. We'll definitely be checking out the new one!
I look forward to it. I hope it has better offline multiplayer as well as online.
Thank God WiiChat is back! It's more addictive then Crack on Toast!
This game was the first Wii game I played, and it was a solid racer, no doubt. They've just got to put WiiMotionPlus for this one, they just have to. Motion controls are in serious need of fixing. And not just for Excite Truck.

Atresia or stenosis of the colon is a rare congenital anomaly. In 1673, Binninger reported the first case of colonic atresia, and Gaub reported the first survival with this anomaly in 1922. In recent years the number of survivals has increased.

The first Charleston Food Film Festival is slated for May 10 and 11 at the GrowFood Carolina warehouse, 990 Morrison Drive.
More than 15 food films will be shown, and guests will get to taste what they see on the screen. The festival, which also will return to New York for its seventh year and Chicago for its fourth year this fall, will present a "Best of" exhibition of favorite food films from around the globe.
Included is the world premiere of a film about Lowcountry shrimping from festival director and Travel Channel host George Motz, whose family hails from Charleston.
"I've spent much of my life having great food experiences with my mother's family in the Charleston area. It's a dream come true to bring the Food Film Festival to Charleston," Motz said in a statement.
The first night is devoted to international cooking; the second night shines the spotlight on foods from the South, with screenings of Southern shorts followed by a Lowcountry shrimp boil. Dishes from Charleston's own Wildflour Pastry, Hominy Grill, The Grocery and other restaurants will be served alongside beer and wine.
"Our support of local growers, chefs and restaurants, and the Food Film Festival's celebration of food and where it comes from, make for the perfect collaboration," GrowFood General Manager Sara Clow said.
GrowFood provides aggregation services, marketing and distribution for local farmers.
Festival tickets, pricing details, a full schedule and more information are available at www.thefoodfilmfestival.com.
In 2013, the Food Film Festival will take place in three cities: Charleston (May 10-11), New York City (Oct. 23-27) and Chicago (Nov. 21-23).

Skylar Binturong
Donate in Memory
Date of Birth
Date of Death
Skylar could be considered one of the world's most perfect bints. She enjoyed all of a bints most beloved past times- eating food, napping in the sun and visiting with her two-legged friends. Though she was fond of bananas (as just about every bint is), she was never one to turn down a fig. As fond of food as she was, she was also just as happy for a little bit of company from her human friends. When you came to visit, you couldn't help but stare into her incredibly sweet eyes. And while she enjoyed company, she also took advantage of her wonderful fire hose hammock for napping the afternoons away. With all of these traits Skylar was certainly a true bint-ambassador. She was probably the first binturong that most people had ever met in their life- and a perfect example of what a binturong should be.
While all of our furry friends that have passed away will be missed, Skylar, I think, will always hold a special place in a bint-lovers heart.
Tribute by Kathryn Bertok.

About Me:
Family means everything to me and to me family has nothing to do with blood. I love having people in my life "who charge my battery, and don't drain it" if you know what I mean. There is so much negativity in the world today that it is nice to see the brighter side of life.
I had a gastric bypass in 2000 and lost 150 lbs. In 2006 I noticed I was gaining a bit of weight and nipped it in the bud and since then have stayed consistent with my weight. Last fall I was put on some medication, where I gained some weight for no apparent reason. Am off the medication but struggle to take that weight back off. Still watching what I eat, exercising, drinking water - a very long plateau.
The goals I'm working toward:
- Weight Loss
- Consistent Exercise Routine
- Health
I haven't felt comfortable with my weight since:
my teens
My favorite healthy food:
love all vegetables
My guiltiest pleasure:
salty and crunchy anything
I'm inspired to live a healthy life because:
health related issues - be around for my family - my daughter as a role model
Healthy habits that work for me:
- peer support

The Columbus, Ohio man who allegedly paid former Ohio State quarterback Terrelle Pryor thousands of dollars for autographed memorabilia vehemently denies the allegation, according to The Plain Dealer of Cleveland.
A former unnamed friend of Pryor's appeared on ESPN's Outside the Lines this week and said that Dennis Talbott, a professional photographer who often took photos at Buckeyes games, would pay anywhere from $500 to $1,000—possibly as much as $40,000 total—for memorabilia signed by Pryor. The former friend said he saw the exchange of money regularly.
Talbott shot back on Thursday.
"They are potentially destroying people's lives," Talbott told The Plain Dealer. "It's not true. I haven't given him a dollar. I haven't given him anything perceived as an improper benefit."
Pryor's attorney, Larry James, also denied his client ever received money from Talbott, whom James says doesn't have the financial means to pay Pryor that kind of money. James added that Pryor might consider a lawsuit against ESPN in the future.
"This is out of his league, (Talbott) doesn't have that kind of cash," James said Thursday on Sirius/XM radio. "He is not one of those dealers that one would say, 'Dennis has the ability to negotiate the buying and selling of memorabilia that Terrelle has signed.' No, Dennis was a part-time photographer that knew a lot of the players, guys around town, most of us knew him. He was basically harmless, he is no big deal, and he definitely did not have the wherewithal to do that kind of stuff."
Tallbott, speaking to The Plain Dealer, doesn't deny having a relationship with Pryor. He has played golf with Pryor and an unnamed player at a course in which he has a membership, but said he didn't pay for the players to pay.
An ESPN report detailed that Pryor was among several Buckeyes spotted with Talbott at a private golf course near Columbus during the summer of 2008—prior to Pryor's freshman season, but after he had enrolled at the university.
The report says it's unclear whether the players reimbursed Talbott for the guest fees—which ranged from $80-$100 per round. Even if they did pay him back, it could be an NCAA violation because they got on the course only through Talbott's membership.
The club's general manager, Regan Koivisto, initially thought having celebrities on his course would be good for business, but later became concerned because of the frequency of their visits and after becoming aware that Talbott was a sports memorabilia dealer.
He reportedly called coach Jim Tressel's office to notify him of the activity, and after that, he "never saw Pryor at the club again."

Can't hardly wait: the trek to Guadalajara
U.S. field hockey midfielder Rachel Dawson, a 2008 Olympian, is blogging about her team's Pan Am Games experience for espnW. In her latest installment, Dawson recounts the bonding experience that was the trip to Guadalajara. One word: Adele.
On your mark, get set…. Wait…Longer… Longer. Just a little…longer.
Ok. Now. GO.
Praise the Pan American gods we didn't have to keep holding our collective breath like patient athletes-in-waiting. Departure day was upon us.
We woke early, packed the vans, and hit the road for a double destination trip. First, Houston for a night to be kitted out by the USOC in proper Team USA apparel, some dapper Nike kicks, a couple of tops, a mean throwback zip-up hoodie, and of course, the requisite khakis and navy polo.
Then, onto Guadalajara, Mexico.
Excitement was high. Even the ungodly early morning hour couldn't tame our giddy chatter. We were like a bunch of kids on Christmas morning. Adele played on the radio. We sang. Loud. We got stuck in Southern California traffic. Adele played again. We sang. Even louder.
Jersey girl Michelle "Shelby" Cesan, one of the Princeton quartet who took the year off from school to pursue "the dream," swaggishly informed us of Adele's intention -- "she wants to get back at her ex-man; she's saying, 'Hey baby, look what you're missing now.'" The rowdy van cackled up a storm.
It was only after we claimed our section in the back of the plane that we politely settled down. Some read, some 'Scrambled' (the new team iPhone word game competition), some watched movies, while the rest, pardon the redundancy, rested.
We landed in Houston and immediately went into work mode, doing what we do best (besides hockey of course) -- unloading and loading our unreasonably large amount of "stuff." I swear, post hockey-career, we have a future in the moving (unfortunately, not movie) industry. Our motivation for the effort was simple: food. The quicker we packed, the quicker we could appease the growing growl in our bellies.
That growl was morphed to laughter when Jesse Gey, who was called up to replace the injured Kayla Bashore Smedley last week, read excerpts from Ellen DeGeneres' new book, "Seriously, I'm Kidding." No seriously, it's funny, LOL funny.
Finally, we grabbed grub, went through processing, posed for our Pan Am portrait then shacked up in our rooms for a comfy night in the Houston Hilton, where all nestled and snug in our beds, dreams of field hockey fairies and Mexican oro danced in our heads.
The alarm chime came too early on Friday morning, but we awoke giddy yet again, and clad ourselves head to toe in all-American navy blue. With our Team USA compatriots from men's field hockey (yes, the U.S. has a men's team), we set sail (through the air) for that land south of the border. Destination, Guadaljara, Mexico. Journey to the 2011 Pan American Games.
Upon arrival in Guadalajara, our flight attendant with lasting words of inspiration -- "Just go out there, and give it your bestest."
The U.S. opens play on Wednesday versus Mexico.

from Nutrition Action Healthletter, Jan/Feb 2005 vol 32, num 1, p10.
"Drink milk… Lose weight?" say the ads. The dairy industry has created an entire "Healthy Weight with Milk" campaign to boost sales. What's the evidense? Most of it came from a researcher who has a patent on the claim that dairy foods aid weight loss.
In a new study- the largest so far- a high dairy diet didn't help people lose weight. Twenty-three obese patients on 1,500-calorie diets who were randomly assigned to consume four servings of dairy a day lost no more weight or body fat after six months than 22 others who consumed one serving a day.
What to do:
Low-fat (or non-fat) milk, yogurt, and cheese can help lower blood pressure and boost calcium intake. But don't expect them to keep you slim.

Here's a letter I received from a reader in
Somerville, Mass. He asked me not to use his name.
Dear Mr. Noble:
Ronald Hopkins' letter in Wednesday's Lancaster News was in criticism of Phil Noble's previous column concerning South Carolina state government being corrupt. His points may have been well taken except for one with which I must take issue: He asked, "Where did that garbage come from… psychology 101?"

The ACC in the NCAA: Can Pacific Beat Miami?Posted by KCarpenter on March 22nd, 2013
There are, theoretically, lots of ways that a team can get upset. In practice, the formula for a big upset tends to have a few common recurring elements that appear with a sort of frequency that would make James Frazer proud. Upset-minded teams typically play at a slow tempo, make a lot of threes, rarely commit turnovers, and have a veteran coach and players. The good news for Pacific University is that it looks a lot like a team capable of an upset.
Pacific plays at the 285th fastest speed in Division I and as a team makes 39.1% of three-pointers (12th best nationally!). A turnover percentage of 17.7% ranks in the top 50 in the country and veteran Bob Thomason coaches a team loaded with juniors and seniors. Thomason has coached at Pacific since 1988 and has previously led his teams to NCAA Tournament wins over Pittsburgh and Providence. Even more important (at least for the narrative-minded), Thomason has announced that this will be his final year coaching, and that after 25 years, he will be hanging up his whistle after this tournament. It sounds like a perfect storm of circumstances for a team to overachieve and give their coach one last hurrah. So does Pacific have what it takes to beat Miami?

The 13 Moon Peace Walkers will be honored at Agape International Spiritual Center, Michael Bernard Beckwith, Founder and Spiritual Director, on March 20th, at the second service, with the Common Peace Center for the Advancement of Nonviolence for the Season for Nonviolence, LA – Hero's Award. We are indeed honored to receive this award as it acknowledges the path of peace and nonviolence we have walked for over a decade as the 13 Moon Walk 4 Peace and as the Trail of Dreams World Peace Walk.
We are aware that our country and indeed the world is facing many challenges. At the very core of these challenges is our spiritual and moral courage, indeed our integrity, to do what is right personally and by standing up for justice in our governments, corporations and even our religious institutions. This is our moment, let us raise above the injustices of poverty, racism, classism, consumerism and fundamentalism. We, you and I, with courageous intent and unstoppable, unconditional love, are the ones to usher in a more just and humane society that deeply respects relationships: our relationship with self, with family, community and Mother Earth.
The 13 Moon Walk 4 Peace is a walk for all of humanity and Mother Earth. We are unstoppable because we know that, "One step at a time, we do change the world!" In the words of the CommonUnity ministry, "…putting compassion into action is the enlightened response to the challenges facing our global human family."
Thank you Agape International Spiritual Center and Common Peace. We look forward to having the opportunity to join in the services on March 20th.
In Peace and In Love,
