Ray Farkas Stayed Awake During Brain Surgery for Parkinson's—and Filmed It
I'm a veteran TV producer, but I'd never been on camera before. Yet here I was, narrating my own surgery for a television documentary—that I was producing—about deep brain stimulation (DBS), a procedure that may help me in my battle against Parkinson's disease. Using a tiny probe, the neurosurgeons sent electrical charges into a targeted area of my brain to disrupt the faulty signals that had, for the past five years, caused my limbs to shake. As for the video crews, I had decided that filming my operation would make great TV. A producer will do anything for ratings! [Footage of Farkas's operation will air on ABC's Nightline.]
Doctors at Georgetown University Hospital warned me about the things that could go wrong with DBS, such as hemorrhaging and infections. But I was willing to try anything. Back in 1998 I noticed I was slowing down on the tennis court, losing to guys I used to beat. My legs shook, and I had balance problems. At first I thought sore muscles or dehydration were the culprits, but deep down I realized I probably had Parkinson's—just like my father, who died in the throes of the disease at 82. A neurologist confirmed my fears. In a way, it was a relief: At least I knew what I had.
My doctor prescribed medication for my tremors, but at first I refused to take it. I'd seen what happened to my dad when he took it. It helped for a while. Before long, though, he began having hallucinations, and then the shakes returned. It was horrifying to watch.
My symptoms remained mild until last spring, when I felt like I had fallen off a cliff. I started freezing in place. You're wanting to walk, and you can't move. I had trouble getting food in my mouth. I started avoiding people. Despite the support of my wife, Sharon, and my children, I just wanted to be left alone.
Last March a friend told me about DBS. Doctors said I would be an excellent candidate since, at 67, I'm fairly young and my disease was in the early stages. DBS isn't a cure—it treats the symptoms while Parkinson's continues to advance. And because the procedure is fairly new, its long-term effectiveness is unknown, though early studies are encouraging. That was good enough for me. I asked Sharon if she was scared. She said, "Yes, but I want to go forward."
As they wheeled me into the operating room, five cameras filmed me. The surgeons numbed my skull and began drilling. When the anesthesia wore off, they were already in my head and I didn't even know it! Working on the documentary actually helped me cope. I was too busy to worry about my surgery. Next, the doctors inserted a high-tech microrecorder and began listening to brain waves to locate the part of my brain, the subthalamic nucleus, that had been affected by Parkinson's. When they detected that part of my brain—it sounds like rain on a tin roof—they knew they had the right spot and stimulated it with an electrical charge. Suddenly, I could feel my legs quieting down—and my doctor could see it. It was a cool, peaceful feeling. I cried out, "More stimulator! More stimulator!" For the first time in years, I was lying still. I felt like I had gotten out of jail.
In a second surgery, the doctors placed two pacemaker-like stimulators in my chest that send charges to the brain, blunting my symptoms. I call Oct. 23, the day they switched on the devices, the first day of the rest of my life. Although I learned that I have to take a low dosage of my pills to keep my condition totally under control, I feel like I escaped my father's fate. I can do the things people take for granted—going to dinner, taking a shower, tying my shoes. Tasks that had become hard are easy again. It's amazing. There is no guarantee my symptoms won't return. But I feel like I'm going to be a father to my youngest son, Andrew, who's 15, for a long time. And maybe I'll have a chance to beat those guys on the tennis court.
As told to Macon Morehouse in Washington, D.C.

The other day I was studying common nutrient deficiencies (and referencing optimal ranges in the Perfect Health Diet book), and started working out combinations that would yield the most nutrients in the smallest amount of food (meal nutrient density).
Suddenly this combination jumped into my head and it sounded good, so I hit the kitchen. The moment my tongue hit the spoon I knew I had stumbled upon a true work of paleo genius. The wife was skeptical but as soon as her tongue hit the spoon she exclaimed OMG!!! It's like a mouth orgasm, something you'd find in an expensive restaurant in France, rich. I shouldn't share the secret formula with you people, but what the hell...
1) Slowly heat a few cups of milky-white beef bone marrow broth,
2) Plus a spoon of snobby grass-fed butter from France,
3) Add about 200g of oysters and cook until they curl (a few minutes),
4) Season with minced garlic, sea salt, and turmeric (until broth goes from white to light yellow/green),
5) Add some equally snobby boutique grass-fed cream from French cows, put the lid on and let to simmer 5min.
Hits a lot of tricky micronutrients where most people are deficient...
* Oysters meet daily iodine and selenium.
* Oysters meet weekly zinc and copper.
* Broth provides calcium, collagen.
* Butter and cream provide K2.
* Meets meets 3/4 daily iron and 1/2 vitamin C.
* Sodium.
~ 750 calories, 60% fat, 20% protein, 20% carb.
Actually, I had a sort of "vitamin-high" for about an hour after the mouth-orgasm ended.
"... needs more fish!"
Certainly sounds very nutrient dense! Where is the vitamin C coming from? The oysters? Also, does heat destroy vitamin C, or can it withstand some cooking?
I will have to try that. Growing up, my Mom often made "Oyster Stew" which is similar but doesn't include the bone broth. Your version looks yummy.

I'm not even the biggest oyster fan, but in this rich broth they were great.
The vit C is from oysters, bone broth, garlic.
i have made soup for ever out of fish broth and cockels and mussels ( or whatever shell fish i happen to have on hand ) with maybe some butter and some karengo ( a seaweed we get here ) as garnish. never added cream but that will be something to try next time. oysters i could do. all i need to do is go find some.
Great idea! I'm going to try this. Now if I could only sneak some liver in to that meal, it would be nutritional nirvana
Using low lectin/nightshade free primal to control autoimmune arthritis. (And lost 50 lbs along the way )
some blue cod livers would go nicely i reckon.
If I can get some oysters I'll give this a go. I spent two days making the best ever bone broth and yesterday I poured it into a sieve and absent mindedly watched it go down the sink. Left me with a sieve full of bone and veggie bits. Bit annoying to say the least.

DETROIT -- The Detroit Tigers announced after today's game that right fielder Magglio Ordonez will be on bereavement leave beginning Monday to be with his wife, Dagly, while she has surgery. He will miss games on Tuesday and Wednesday here with the Texas Rangers, but is expected back for Thursday's game with the Rangers.
"You think of Magglio first and the team second," Tigers manager Jim Leyland said.
The Tigers will be able to add a player to the roster while Ordonez is gone, but probably won't announce that move until Tuesday. Leyland said the leave must last a minimum of three days or a maximum of seven days.
Ordonez and his wife have three children and reside in Fort Lauderdale, Fla.

Your location: Baton Rouge, Louisiana
Age (If you want): 19
How Primal are you: Pretty much 100% except I do go out to eat occasionally and eat a few pieces of fried catfish (what can i say? I'm from Louisiana.) On a regular basis, I do not eat any grains, legumes, very limited on potatoes, no processed foods, no refined sugars.
Do you consume dairy: I enjoy about 2tbsp. of whipped cream around 5 days a week, that's all. I'm not opposed to dairy, just don't eat it much.
Do you drink coffee or tea: I drink coffee everyday, mostly. I drink unsweetened tea periodically.
Motivator for switching to Primal: I was sick & tired of being sick & tired. I was unhealthy and unhappy. I had heard about the Paleo diet a few years ago, decided to research, and ended up finding MDA and learning about the Primal diet.
Favorite exercise: Walking or Insanity ... It's a close tie.
Favorite Primal food: Currently, its pumpkin waffles ... It changes often though. Oh & BACON!! <3
Best part about being Primal: The feeling you get, its indescribable. To wake up fully rested, full of energy, and feeling like you could take over the world. No mid-day crashes, rarely getting sick, my mysterious migraine problem is gone, my skin is so glowy, and I'm losing weight. What could be better?
Worst part about being Primal: When people ask me, "so what's it like being like a caveman?" or people that try to convince me that I'm wrong and am hurting my body or depriving it. Oh & especially when people say, "well you need grains to get your fiber. You need to eat more dairy to get your calcium. Yada yada yada." Other then that, nothing =)

Dongan Hills, Staten Island
|This article needs additional citations for verification. (December 2008) (Learn how and when to remove this template message)
Dongan Hills is a neighborhood located within the New York City borough of Staten Island. It is on the Island's East Shore.
The neighborhood was originally known by two separate names, the western half being called Hillside Park and the eastern half Linden Park. The name of Dongan Hills was originally Garretson's and it was changed to Dongan Hills to avoid confusion with Garrison on Hudson.[1] The neighborhood was renamed for Thomas Dongan, the Irish-born governor of the Province of New York after the Kingdom of England acquired it from the Netherlands in 1682. The "hills" alluded to in the name are the eastern ridge of Todt Hill, and much of what is colloquially referred to as "Todt Hill" by most island residents is reckoned as belonging to Dongan Hills by more authoritative sources such as the Staten Island Advance. However, there is a section of Dongan Hills that contains large hills. This portion of the neighborhood is called, the Dongan Hills Colony. "The Colony" is located above Richmond Road and borders the neighborhood of Todt Hill.
The neighborhood is also home to FDNY Engine Company 159, and quartered with it, Satellite 5.
Dongan Hills was one of the first Staten Island neighborhoods to witness an upsurge in home construction after World War II, as many small, one-family homes were built there during the 1950s, and the city also built a public housing project in the community; known as the General Berry Houses, it is the southernmost public housing project on Staten Island. Population growth accelerated in the area when the Verrazano-Narrows Bridge linking Staten Island with Brooklyn was opened in November 1964. Indeed, recent arrivals from Brooklyn have overwhelmed the descendants of the original residents, and now form a majority of the neighborhood's population.
Most of the residents are Italian American, with a fairly small amount of other residents being of Irish, and in some areas of it are other ethnicities.
The Billiou-Stillwell-Perine House was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1976.[2]
Dongan Hills is served by the Staten Island Railway station of the same name.
Dongan Hills is also served by the S74, S76, S78, S79, S84, S86 local buses and the X1, X2, X3, X9, X15 express buses.[3]

WASHINGTON - Record high gas and oil prices are taking center stage in the presidential campaign.
Even President Bush is weighing in, calling on Congress to lift a ban on offshore drilling for oil.
Revisiting Offshore Drilling
The ban on offshore drilling has been in place more than 25 years.
But today, the President is urging lawmakers on Capitol Hill to lift the ban as a way to increase domestic oil production and help ease the pressure of America's pain at the pump.
"I can't even fill up my tank. It's $5.00 here, $4.00 here. I can't afford it," one disgruntled driver said.
Another said, "I'll take a bike to work or something if I have to."
McCain Presents His Own Energy Policy
Bush's call lends a hand to Sen. John McCain, who on Tuesday, outlined his energy policy.
"I will set forth a strategy to free America once and for all from our strategic dependence on foreign oil," McCain said.
McCain's plan now includes support for offshore drilling as a short-term fix. It is a position, the Obama campaign points out, he did not have when he campaigned for the White House eight years ago.
"This is yet another reversal by John McCain in terms of his earlier positions and I think we could set up an interesting debate between John McCain 2000 and John McCain 2008," Obama said.
All the talk about energy and offshore drilling shows just how important an issue this is to voters.
With Americans paying $4.00 or more for a gallon of regular gasoline, the economy is the number one concern among voters looking for relief from rising gas prices.
According to a poll taken before McCain's announcement, most voters believe offshore drilling could help bring some relief.
Sixty-four percent believe gas prices would go down if offshore drilling continued. Only 27-percent did not.
Candidates Duke it Out Over Energy
But in presidential politics, there are more disagreements when it comes to energy.
Although he said he was open to the idea of a windfall profits tax on oil companies last month, McCain now criticizes Obama for supporting the idea, comparing the Illinois senator's energy proposals to those of former President Jimmy Carter.
"My friends, I'm all for recycling, but it's better applied to paper and plastic than the failed policies of the 1970s," McCain said.
Obama says McCain, who is also campaigning as a conservationist, doesn't have a record to stand on.
Obama said, "His rhetoric is undercut by a record of voting time and time again against important investments in renewable energy."

POLICY uncertainty can have a debilitating effect on a country. On economic matters, it can retard investment as business becomes reluctant to make costly decisions that may soon need to be reversed. In worst-case scenarios, such as we have seen in the US recently, it can lead to the shutdown of government and put the job security of thousands of workers at risk while stalling the delivery of government services. The US government shutdown provides a clear warning to all about the negative effects of policy uncertainty and the indecision and inertia it spawns. It is worse when it is fuelled by political polarisation.
For government agencies such as the South African National Roads Agency (Sanral), which use capital markets to raise funds for operations, policy uncertainty increases risk premiums, thus raising the cost of borrowing for them and the country in general. South Africa would do well not to stick its head in the sand on these matters.
Faced with the debate — and the policy uncertainty it generated — about whether to nationalise the mines, the ruling party at its elective conference in Mangaung last year ditched the concept of nationalisation in favour of "strategic state ownership where deemed appropriate", and thus provided policy certainty on the issue.
Similarly, after a sustained period of debate and controversy about tolling sections of the Gauteng freeway network, President Jacob Zuma recently signed the Transport Laws and Related Matters Amendment Bill into law. The stroke of his pen paved the way for e-tolling in Gauteng. Most critically, it provided certainty on tolling as part of the government's transport policy.
Not that Sanral was in doubt about tolling as government policy, but when you have elements of the ruling party and some of its allies speaking against government policy, it is unsettling. Lost in the debate was the fact that it is government policy.
Tolling, which is one form of the user-pays principle, was not invented by Sanral or its CEO, Nazir Alli. It is contained in the White Paper on National Transport Policy that was published in 1996. The application of the user-pays principle is authorised by law and has been carefully considered — in this and in many other instances — as a matter of policy by the National Treasury, in collaboration with other departments and agencies of state. In Sanral's case, this policy has enabled us to provide roads sooner than with the traditional tax-based revenues that traditionally fund these roads. But for the funding model applied to the Gauteng Freeway Improvement Project (GFIP) there is no guarantee that the project would have been delivered.
Where was the money going to come from? The last time South Africa had a budget surplus was in 2007-08. Since the 2008 recession, that surplus has since swung to deficits of more than 4% of gross domestic product (GDP). In the meantime, government debt as a percentage of GDP has risen to more than 35%, and last week the International Monetary Fund warned us to stabilise it.
While we are nowhere near the staggering debt-to-GDP ratios of some countries in Europe, the fiscal space is getting narrower, and where we can apply the user-pays principle, with sufficient cushion for the poor, we should. At any rate, given the R81bn owed to municipalities and the more than R1bn owed to Eskom, South Africa needs to recommit itself to the user-pays principle.
Zuma's signature was necessary not only to get the GFIP out of its state of inertia, but to assure foreign investors who enter into agreements with South Africa that we do not have an almost uncontrollable proclivity not to like our own contracts when it suits us. That would negatively affect Sanral's operations and activities and those it has contracted — and it would also send a very bad signal to investors. No country that hopes to attract foreign investment behaves like that.
Also, Zuma's signature was an assurance to private-sector capital that its participation in South Africa's infrastructure development programme is welcomed. Sanral raised a debt of R20bn in the capital markets to finance the GFIP. Given the demands of the social wage bill and social infrastructure on the fiscus, South Africa needs private-sector capital to boost funding for our strategic infrastructure projects.
The capital is there and so is the appetite. This much was confirmed in June by the Association for Savings & Investment South Africa — whose members include asset managers, life insurance companies and other collective investment schemes — in a meeting it had with the Treasury. The industry already holds R700bn in government bonds.
But, would infrastructure investment in future be attractive to both domestic and international long-term investors had our commitment to the GFIP been found wanting? If the private sector cannot see the cash flows and a reasonable rate of return, debt financing for our infrastructure projects would dry up. I suspect these are the considerations, besides the constitutional imperatives, that Zuma took into account before he signed the bill.
The populists might be angry but future generations, irrespective of their political affiliation, might thank him.
• Mona is the head of communications at Sanral.

The Lycoming College of 1812 would have been unrecognizable to students today: the school, known then as Williamsport Academy and located in an octagonal building on West Third Street, functioned as a middle/high school for boys ages 12 to 16, according to Dr. John Piper, a former dean of the college and historian whose book on the history of the college soon will be released.
The college will host a Bicentennial Charter Day Celebration beginning at 5 p.m. Saturday, and the evening will include an appearance from Piper posing as the Rev. Ben Crever, a founder of Dickinson Seminary, an earlier incarnation of the college. Festivities beginning at 7 p.m. will include a cake and ice cream social and a fireworks display.
Piper, who served as dean for 15 years until his retirement in 2007, has been playing the part of Crever for 10 years. While Crever played an integral part in the college's evolution, Piper said the school went through many changes before Crever took over in 1848.
Academies began cropping up around Pennsylvania in the early 1800s, Piper said, in order to offer an education that went beyond the 'common schools' or elementary schools that taught children to read, write and count before sending them off to work. By 1850, the state boasted more than 500 academies.
"Pennsylvania was chartering academies as what we today would consider middle and high schools," he said. "The academies came along offering the next level of education. In addition to reading, writing and arithmetic, they added things like history, literature and languages."
Williamsport Academy moved from West Third Street to the current Lycoming College campus and opened its new building in 1841.
Fact Box
WHAT: Lycoming College Bicentennial Charter Day Celebration
WHEN: 5 p.m. Saturday
WHERE: The Quad, on campus, or inside the recreation center in case of inclement weather
"It was a two-story building with a cupola on top, and a tower above the cupola ... very much like the towers on campus now," Piper said. "That became the Williamsport Academy until 1845, when it went bankrupt and the sheriff sold it."
The town council (today's city council) purchased the school but only owned it for two years before putting it up for sale again in 1847. Then the academy took a very different direction.
"A minister from Milton named Benjamin H. Crever walked from Milton, inspected the property ... talked to local Methodists at what became Pine Street Church, and in 1848 that small group bought (the college) and named it Dickinson Seminary. That's what has become Lycoming College," Piper said.
In the 1920s, the seminary was transformed into a junior college, and the school finally took on the name Lycoming College in the 1940s.
In addition to his time in the college's history department, Piper has spent 2 1/2 years researching the college's history for his book. He said he was impressed by the challenges the college has overcome.
"I think the most surprising thing is that it has not only survived, but become a first-class institution of higher education, nationally ranked ... despite many challenges along the way," he said.
The community will have a chance to celebrate the college's success at the Charter Day Celebration Dinner, to be held from 5:30 to 7 p.m. Saturday on the Quad. The dinner is free for Lycoming College students.
More information on the Bicentennial Charter Day Celebration is available on the Lycoming College website, www.lycoming.edu.

As new broke this morning of the sacking of Chelsea manager Roberto di Matteo many were shocked by this move by the club and owner Roman Abramovich to sack the manager that only 6 months ago guided the club to the Champions League title, however what is done is done and now our immediate thoughts here in the Managers Office turn to how this departure will effect the Blues as they go into this weekend's clash with Manchester City on Sunday and in turn how this may effect their fantasy prospects. On thing we do know for sure is that an extensive overhaul is coming at Stamford Bridge, but with the game against City only days away we are unlikely to see many changes before the weekend. Our advice to you is simply this, if you are currently fielding Chelsea players in your fantasy team don't panic, sit tight for the moment and continue with your plans we will know more over the coming days and we will as always, keep you in the loop, so avoid the knee jerk reaction for the moment.
Elsewhere Marouane Fellaini is suspended for Everton's game against Norwich after picking up his 5th yellow card of the season last time out against Reading, Theo Walcott is an injury doubt ahead of Arsenal's clash with Aston Villa and Alex Kacaniklic has followed Kieran Richardson onto the treatment table after he picked up a hamstring injury after only 26 minutes against Sunderland. Apart from that there are no other major injury concerns as of yet heading into this weekend's action.
Adam Johnson (Sunderland) £4.4 million Fixture: West Brom (Home)
The former City winger finds himself in our thoughts for the first time this season after some impressive performances over the last two weeks, Johnson has notched up a goal and two assists in his last two games and beginning to show signs for form. Sunderland's victory last time out all be it a distorted one after Fulham were reduced to 10 men was only their second victory of the season but they are showing signs of promise as they welcome high flying West Brom to the Stadium of Light. Johnson clearly offers a differential for fantasy managers looking to gain ground in their fantasy league and at £4.4 million is very reasonably priced. The Baggies have not managed a clean sheet on the road all season and have conceded on average 1.5 goals per game, so there is hope that Sunderland can breach the Baggies defence and with Fletcher back on the score sheet last time out for the Black Cats Johnson will have a better chance of picking up another assist or two with a striker in front of him that is scoring.
David Silva (Man City) £5.7 million Fixture: Chelsea (Away)
City travel to the Bridge this weekend to face a Chelsea side with out a win in their last four league games and now also with out a manager after Roberto di Matteo was sacked on Wednesday morning. City on the other hand finally exploded with a flurry of goals last weekeend against Villa beating them 5-0. Silva was once again in on the act after being heavily tipped last week as he popped up with a goal and 2 assists. This weekend's fixture will of course be a different proposition for City and Silva but with the Pensioners low on confidence after their 3-0 defeat at the hands of Juventus in midweek City will be confident they can get a result on the road. Silva is quickly becoming a must have fantasy proposition for fantasy managers and with his form showing no signs of abating now is the time to bring him in, with Tevez and Aguero both firing in goals at the moment assists will surely be easier to come by for the Spaniard. Chelsea are of course with out Terry and we all know that when he fails to play the Chelsea back four fail to perform.
Santi Cazorla (Arsenal) £4.4 million. Fixture: Aston Villa (Away)
With Arsenal seemingly getting back on track last weekeend with a 5-2 victory over North London rivals Tottenham last Saturday there is little doubting that the star of the show was the little Spaniard Cazorla. With a goal and assist to add to the 3 goals and 3 assists he had collect already he really is at the heart of everything good that the Gunners do at the moment. Theo Walcott is a doubt heading into this one which will mean that the pressure will be on Santi to perform at Villa Park, but based on his and of course Villa's last few performances this could be simply a matter of how many the Gunners score rather than if they score. As we siad Villa have been going through a tough run of late with their last two games against both Manchester clubs and this weekend it will not get any easier for the side that have conceded 8 goals in their last 2 games. At £4.4 million Cazorla is playing better than when you consider the price and points returns of some of the other big names in other midfield's around the league, there is little doubt that when he does the job he is a real bargain and for that reason he is certainly one that demands a lot of consideration over the coming weeks.
Antonio Valencia (Man United) £5.1 million Fixture: QPR (Home)
Oh how the mighty have fallen, United's defeat last time out at the hands of the Canaries was most certainly a shock to many, but as they say lightening never strikes twice right? Well we will be hoping so as United welcome struggling QPR to Old Trafford this weekend. Valencia has failed to produce anything of attacking value over the last three weeks much to the disappointment of many however with Mark Hughes's QPR coming to town you would have to fancy United for goals. The R's have conceded 11 on the road this season and have yet to keep a clean sheet on their travels, in fact they have only managed one clean sheet all season. When we drill down into the R's defensive stats they have conceded 54 chances down their left flank which is the third worst in the league behind Reading and Swansea so I think it is far to say that Valencia will get plenty of opportunities down that side to get balls into the box for Robin van Persie and Wayne Rooney to get on the end of, so don't be surprised to Valencia come to life in this one.

I am Such a Pinot noir Snob
"A "Friends of Avalon"
Wine Reviewed:
Even though I am such a Pinot Noir snob, sometimes, I have to get away from it to try something different - a different varietal, perhaps? My rule is simple. Some wines pair well with certain food: Cabernet Sauvignon with steak. Gewurztraminer with Chinese, Riesling with Japanese, bubbles for appetizers, and nothing seems to complement a picnic better than a Rosé. Some wines are heavenly sipping wines that you can enjoy on their own. Then, you have your multi-tasking wines that can cover both categories.
The 2008 Nine Hats Syrah from Columbia Valley comes with a catchy label featuring eight black hats and one red hat. This wine was made from a blend of leftover barrels from nine different wine makers � I wonder if the red hat represents the lone female winemaker. Anyway, the concept is definitely interesting.
I opened the bottle. I wonder what category of wine this will be�.
Pour in the glass � beautiful dark inky garnet color.
Swirl and sniff - First impression was "Wow, this will be big� a bowl of dark fruit with a spicy overtone of anise and licorice.
First sip � hmmm, it's a little bit on the hot side. Well, the bottle said 14.5% alcohol. No wonder. Now the taste progressed to salty licorice, black pepper and dark chocolate covered bing cherries. But behind these notes, the wine felt as if it had more to reveal, perhaps it needs a touch more air?
Then I thought, "Ok�.maybe the right food might cajole that back chorus to sing loudly." Initially, I thought the dinner I had bought earlier from the market, rotisserie chicken and salad, might not go with this wine. Do I need to go back and buy some beef and whip up some of my famously spicy steak? Since I didn't feel like going back to the market and cooking, I decided to have this Syrah with my simple chicken and salad dinner.
While I was setting up the table and tossing the salad, I kept sipping the wine in the glass. With every sip, the nose became louder and louder with the fruit and flowers. The taste too became more symphonic and well orchestrated. Within 15 minutes, Nine Hats Syrah had opened up to a wine loaded with dark fruits � tastes of blueberries, blackberries and dark cherries. The salty licorice flavor, although still there, toned down a touch and actually provided a complement to the sweet fruit flavors - almost like dark chocolate with sea salt.
As it turned out, the wine turned a simple chicken dinner into a bodacious, delicious dish as it hit my palate with yummy spices. My simple green salad with aged 30-year old Italian balsamic vinegar and Greek olive oil perfectly danced with the heavy fruit notes of this Syrah. What a pleasant surprise!
Even more surprising, the wine still tasted excellent a few days later � both as a sipping wine and as a great accompaniment with food.
What more can you ask for around $25 a bottle? It certainly amazed me with the quality it delivered in a bottle. At this price range, I am happy to have a wine that can speak to me. In this case, I had an entirely engaging conversation. I will definitely keep this as my house wine for Syrah.

A word of caution to the organizers of Rothbury Festival 2009:
Be careful whom you book.
Mastadon would be most excellent. So would Nine Inch Nails.
And my kids, reveling in my absence, would stay happy.
But the folks putting together the second outdoor fete at Oceana County's Double JJ Ranch this summer better think twice before inviting acts like AC/DC, Prince, Pearl Jam or Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers.

If you're found to be "lazy" double-parking in Easton, you could soon have the book thrown at you.
During Tuesday night's city council public safety committee meeting, Councilman Jeff Warren presented a proposed ordinance that would set hefty fines for what he dubbed as "lazy" double-parking, in which a motorist chooses to double-park even when an adjacent open parking spot on the street is readily available.
Under a current city ordinance, double-parking is punishable with a $25 fine. The proposed ordinance presented by Warren would make a distinction for motorists who double-park when another spot is readily open within 20 feet. Motorist doing such would face a $100 fine, with late-payment penalties of up to $50.
"Double parking has been a problem in this city for quite some time," Warren said. "If another spot is open 20 feet away and you double park, you deserve to get a ticket."
Warren's proposed ordinance will head to the entire council for consideration.
According to Warren, "lazy" double-parking has especially become a public safety problem downtown in the 200 block of Northampton Street, where many motorists from New Jersey double-park to make a quick transaction at the cigarette shops.
"I think this ordinance can be a deterrent," Warren stated. "It's about sending a serious message to individuals chronically doing this."
Warren said the proposal mirrors an existing "lazy" double-parking ordinance in Allentown; the only difference is that the Allentown law makes it violation when an open spot is readily available within 10 feet. Warren's proposal would set the distance at 20 feet.
Councilwoman Elinor Warner raised several concerns about the "lazy" double-parking distinction, including in instances where a motorist who is caught double-parking claims that an adjacent open spot was not available when they first pulled in.
"Why don't we just increase the fine, rather than try to distinguish between a non-lazy or lazy double-parker," Warner said. "We already have a double-parking law in place. We can send a serious message by enforcing it."
Mayor Sal Panto said the proposed ordinance could be a tool in cracking down on a lot of double parking that occurs at businesses he describes as "run-in, run-out" establishments.
Panto noted the importance of the city targeting motorists who "show blatant disregard" for others.
Warren said the proposed ordinance is not designed to be a revenue generator; it's goal is to address what he says has become a serious public safety concern.

World Heart Day was founded in 2000 to inform people around the globe that heart disease and stroke are the world's leading causes of death, claiming 17.3 million lives each year.
World Heart Day is an annual event which takes place on 29 September every year. Each year's celebrations have a different theme, reflecting key issues and topics relating to heart health. This year our theme is creating heart-healthy environments (see below).
Together with World Heart Federation members, World Heart Day spreads the news that at least 80% of premature deaths from cardiovascular disease (CVD) could be avoided if four main risk factors – tobacco use, unhealthy diet, physical inactivity and harmful use of alcohol – are controlled.
The success of World Heart Day depends on the proactivity of organizations from around the world to help us spread awareness of CVD, the world's number one killer. For more information about how to get involved this year, click here.
This year, World Heart Day's theme is creating heart-healthy environments. The places in which we live, work and play should not increase our risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD). But individuals frequently cannot make heart-healthy choices due to environmental factors, such as the availability of healthy food or smoke-free zones.

MARTINSBURG - A project more than two years in the making is nearly complete, but the opening of the new public safety building is dependent upon a quick finish of its flooring.
Clerk of the Works Jim Thompson told the Berkeley County Council Thursday that a "flooring hiccup" pushed back the project by about two months.
The cement which was used had issues with its pH balance, said Councilmember Douglas E. Copenhaver Jr. This would have had an adverse affect on adhesive used to lay down the remaining flooring, Copenhaver said.

Journal photo by Rachel Molenda
The new public safety building is located in the former Martin's building on South Raleigh Street in Martinsburg.
"There has been a solution from the manufacturer," Copenhaver said. "It's basically to put an additional underlayment ... that separates what's there and what will be applied to the top."
The public safety building is located in the former Martin's building on South Raleigh Street in Martinsburg. It will house the Berkeley County Sheriff's Office, which has outgrown its Emmit Rousch Drive location.
Copenhaver hopes the council will receive a bid to complete the floor work. There were no bids the last time a Request for Proposal was issued, Copenhaver said.
"When the installer found out, the manufacturer says, 'We're not going to warranty our product, because of the pH level,' we didn't have any bids the first time," Copenhaver said. "Two-thirds of (the building) is completely done, waiting for flooring."
Part of the criteria for proposals is that a potential manufacturer or installer stand behind his or her product or the work he or she does. A warranty is indicative of this, Copenhaver said.
The bidding process can take four or five weeks, according to Copenhaver.
"If we get a bid that's acceptable, which means it's within our budget, hopefully we'll be able to rock and roll," Copenhaver said. "If we don't get any bids or it's not within our budget, then it's going to go out for a third time."
Thompson is optimistic the building will be ready to use by October.
"We think we've got it all under control," Thompson said of the flooring issues. "I'm hoping that we can get this thing fully complete where we don't have to walk back into this thing."

Most bowling teams compete to try to win. As a result, your teammates expect you to show up week after week. League bowlers tend to be hearty folks. We will bowl when it is not convenient to do so. Here's an example.
One season two of my teammates were headed for Columbus for the state basketball tournament. We had a particularly tough match that week and these two guys opted to skip a couple of games and drive back to Tiffin for bowling before returning to Columbus. Now that's what I call dedicated. Though we would have understood if they had not bowled that evening, we sure appreciated their efforts.
If memory serves me correctly (that's not a sure thing) we got drilled that night. I'm sure the fellows spent the drive back to our state capital wondering why they had bothered, but hey we are athletes. Competing is what we do.
I would suggest to you bowlers out there that there are perfectly acceptable reasons for missing a bowling night, but in case you don't know whether an excuse is, well, excusable, let me shed some light on the subject. Speaking for bowling teammates everywhere (because I can), here's a short list of situations that may come up for you and our reaction to your decision.
You are sick.
We're not talking the sniffles or a headache here. If you are really sick, stay home. We understand and will even thank you for doing so. As bowlers we are trained to slap hands each time you bowl a frame. Get a mark we extend our hand. Have an open frame? No problem. We will give you the obligatory "it's OK, get a mark next time" hand slap.
We can't help ourselves and if you are contagious then we might get what you have. No sense passing an illness back and forth. Stay home and get better. There's always next week.
You stay home to take care of a sick family member.
In most cases: Acceptable.
We have to qualify this one though. If it is your spouse that is sick, you probably ought to go bowling. They really don't want you around anyway. Sure you may want to get them a spot of tea or some chicken soup, but do that early and then head for the lanes.
If it's a child (particularly a young one) the guys get a break. Kids want their mothers when they don't feel well. If you have a sick child that says "daddy, don't go" consider yourself lucky and stay home. Again we will understand.
Now if it's the family dog, you are likely to get mixed reactions. For me personally there is nothing sadder than a sick puppy and I would understand. As for the cat remember one word. Finicky. Let him see how it feels to want attention and be ignored.
You have to go Christmas shopping.
Not acceptable.
This particular holiday falls on the same date every year. You have 365 days to shop for next Christmas and in 2012 we will even give you an extra day. There is no excuse for missing league night for this. "Git 'er done" before it's time to bowl.
The boss says you have to work late.
You have to put food on the table and we get this one. We'll wait a week for you and then you can come in and tell us how you really feel about your boss. If you like, we will say bad things about him while you are working.
You must attend your child's school function.
By all means go to the play, the game or whatever. There is no truth to the rumor that your child will not know nor care if you attend. They do know and they do care. Be there for them.
Also there is no truth to the rumor that the school intentionally schedules all activities on your bowling night. It just seems like it.
You have to stay home and finish the "honey do" list.
Hang on here buddy. This is not acceptable.
There is a reason that this list exists in the first place. Either you don't realize that some things need to be done or you don't want to do them. Regardless of which, you must lay down the law. You can't be doing these things on your bowling night. You will get to them when you can.
Wait a minute. What's that? I'll be right there honey. Maybe I should rethink this one.
You have to go to Florida for a week in the middle of January to play golf with your buddies.
Acceptable. Let's make that, perfectly acceptable.
Ergo, I will see you in a couple of weeks.
Tyson Shope has to be the lead story this week as he had quite a day at the lanes. In the Wednesday Morning League he shot his first perfect game though he "only" shot 656. It would have been perfectly acceptable for him to skip his Wednesday evening league due to excessive celebrating, but there he was firing a 735 series in the Rocket League. I'd say this was a pretty awesome daily double.
Rocket League scores in addition to Shope's 735 include Tim Sturgill 646, John Funk 624, Steve Barnes 623, Dave Kirian 576, Virginia Vanover 538, and Sue Coppus 431. In the Wednesday Morning League Mark Huffman shot 675, Ken Lofton 660, Shope 656, Dave Jumper 653, Matt Hoover 633 and Zach Gaietto 625. Sportsman League scores included Rich Yates, Jr. 696, Jim Mason 616, Paul Gosche 614, Dick Gabel 605, Kyle Musa 579, Ron Yentzer 572, Chris Johnson 571 and Mike Ditslear 570. John Sauers shot 685, Scott Plickert 638, Dave Ross 624, Jack Book 621, Mark Baxter 618, Ken Bauman 615 and Tom Tiell 609 in the Big 8 League.
Ben Hoyda rolled a 633 series to top the Imperial-Majorette League. Jeff Peer had 623, Brian Shane 581, Rhonda Fitch 564, Deb Nominee 555, and Kellie Faust 483. Robin Dickman shot 590, Deb Cleveland 539, Virginia Vanover 508, Diane Hoover 498 and Brenda Rosier 480. In the Twilight League Jeff Morrow shot 676, Steve Barnes 622, Jerry Collins 621, Tom Pukalik 610 and Ed Conrad 608. For the ladies Rhonda Fitch had 542, Robin Brownell 505 and Michelle Wagner 433.
Action at the K of C Lanes found Lela Gaietto shooting 487, Carol Burmeister 483 and Marilyn Gangluff 410 in the Lady Knights League. Steve Steinmetz, Jr. shot 654, Chris Johnson 628, Joe Lord 593, Jim Lord 576, Mark Orians 557, Smokey Ransom 552 and Justin Hoepf 551 in the Holy Name League. Senior League scores included Herb Sendelbach 602, Mike Reser 542, Kurt Smith 539, Doug Snyder 525 and Fred Reimer 514.

What parents need to know
Parents Need to Know
Parents need to know that Mankind, a documentary about the evolution and survival of the human species, uses special effects and dramatic reenactments to tell the often violent story. While offered in context, many of these often bloody scenes may be too intense for younger or sensitive viewers.

What's the story?
MANKIND: THE STORY OF ALL OF US is a dramatic documentary series that offers an in-depth look at the history and evolution of human civilization. Narrated by Josh Brolin, it features actor portrayals of historic events showing the various inventions, activities, and pursuits that have helped the human species survive over millions of years. With the help of various experts like celebrity doctor Mehmet Oz, food critic Anthony Bourdain, historian Henry Louis Gates, Jr., and military experts like former Navy SEAL Richard "Mack" Machowicz, the series explains how harnessing natural elements like fire, increasing food production through farming, fashioning weapons from different materials, and creating painted and written communication systems, directly impacted the way early humans survived on the planet. It also shows how the combination of these activities led to mass migrations of people, the development of economic and trade systems, the building of empires, and the creation of social power structures that evolved into modern-day warfare. The emergence of religion, as well as the rise of disease and other human-ills, are also discussed.
Is it any good?
Mankind is an informative, in-depth documentary series. It shows how the human race has managed to survive harsh elements, predatory animals, disease, and each other, through invention, creativity, and by taking risks. The series also highlights how small activities that we take for granted today, such as heating our food and writing, are the same acts that literally transformed the human species, and contributed to the rise of human civilization billions of years ago.
History buffs will enjoy Mankind, but some folks might be put off by many of the violent reenactments featured here, even if they are being shown in context. Meanwhile, some of the scientific and sociological explanations about things like the original source of human DNA and the rise of religions may directly conflict with some viewers' personal belief systems. Nonetheless, it's a well-researched, and entertainingly dramatic discussion about humanity, and what we, as a species, have actively done over the centuries to survive.
Families can talk about...
Families can talk about the history of the human race. What do you believe are some of the most significant things the human species has invented and/or developed over the centuries? Are there things you wish humans had not invented? Why?
Is it necessary to reenact violent events in great detail, especially if it is for educational purposes? Why do you think documentaries include violent scenes? What impact can these images potentially have on viewers, especially kids?

HOOVER, Alabama – Hoover schools Superintendent Andy Craig is scheduled to meet with residents of the 600-home Lake Crest community tonight to discuss recent revisions to his school rezoning proposal.
The meeting is set for 5 p.m. at the Lake Crest Clubhouse.
Craig is still working to complete his plan to redraw attendance zones for Hoover's elementary schools and has said he hopes to present a formal plan to the Hoover school board by its Sept. 8 meeting.
His most recent revisions would split the Lake Crest community between Gwin and Trace Crossings elementary schools and put them on a track to two different middle schools, according to PTO leaders whom Craig updated on Friday morning.
Janie Bryant, president of the Lake Crest Homeowners Association, said her neighborhood is not happy with the idea of being split.
The Lake Crest proposal, as shared by PTO leaders, would keep children from homes off Shades Crest Road, The Arbors, Oakmere and the Lake Crest Townhomes at Gwin Elementary and send students in other parts of Lake Crest, such as Lake Crest Drive, Lake Crest Circle, Crystal Circle, Hibiscus, etc., to Trace Crossings Elementary.
Students zoned for Trace Crossings Elementary, which is a K-4 school, move on to Brock's Gap Intermediate School for grades 5 and 6 and Bumpus Middle School for grades 7 and 8, while children zoned for Gwin Elementary, which is a K-5 school, progress through Simmons Middle School for grades 6-8.
Students from Bumpus and Simmons currently both move on to Hoover High School, but there have been some discussions about potentially shifting students who live in the Simmons zone from Hoover to Spain Park High School at some point in the future.
Bryant said the ideal option for Lake Crest would be for everyone to remain at Gwin, but some people would rather see the neighborhood remain together, even if that means the whole neighborhood is rezoned for Trace Crossings.
Fliers are circulating in the community, pressing for Lake Crest children to be kept together.
See more about Craig's most recent changes to his rezoning proposal, as well as concerns expressed by Lake Cyrus and Riverchase parents.

DescriptionM 35-36 mm. Dorsum typically dark green with numerous small white spots. Iris colour with a red ring in the outer iris area, similar to B. luteus (Glaw and Vences 2007).
Distribution and Habitat
Country distribution from AmphibiaWeb's database: Madagascar
Life History, Abundance, Activity, and Special BehaviorsMales call at night from trees, 2-4 m above the ground, along streams in rainforest. Calls consist of a relatively long-lasting, extremely fast series of short unharmonious notes, not easily recognized as a frog call (Glaw and Vences 2007). This species breeds in streams (Andreone and Nussbaum 2008).
Trends and ThreatsFound in at least one protected area, the Réserve Spéciale d'Anjanaharibe-Sud. This species is common within its range, though the range is not large. It can tolerate a small amount of habitat degradation. Threats include habitat loss due to increasing subsistence agriculture, logging, charcoal manufacture, invasion and spread of eucalyptus, increased grazing, and expanding human settlement (Andreone and Nussbaum 2008).
Possible reasons for amphibian decline
General habitat alteration and lossHabitat modification from deforestation, or logging related activitiesIntensified agriculture or grazingSubtle changes to necessary specialized habitat

Malcolm's Christmas Stocking
Here's a classic holiday decoration! Using Judy's Magic Loop CO, you'll start this stocking from the toe … working in the round, with color-work sections to make the knitting interesting, you'll soon have an heirloom quality stocking for the newest baby, your best friend, or anyone on your holiday list!
The sample shown is knit with Knit Picks Cot-Lin in
MC: Moroccan Red (2 sks -- 250 yards)
CC1: Swan (approx 75 yards)
CC2: Nightfall (approx 75 yards)
CC3: Sprout (approx 75 yards)

The international climate talks were extended over the weekend as countries attempted to save face and hammer out a deal before wrapping up here Durban. After three all-night sessions, passionate exchanges, and even a last minute huddle to agree on the details, exhausted negotiators announced at 5am Sunday that they had finally reached a deal.
The plan calls for Kyoto to be extended--but not strengthened. Originally design to curb the green house gas emissions in 37 developed countries; it will now apply to only the European Union and a handful of minor participants. Notably missing are several key players: Canada, Japan, Russia, and the United States. While Kyoto's breathing may be labored from the hot air in Durban, it managed to avoid death. Some consider this outcome a success--at least negotiators avoided the "worst case scenario." Yet others, who perceive Kyoto as the most promising vehicle to spur carbon reductions, see its gutting here as an unconscionable tragedy.
As Kyoto struggled for air, negotiating parties laid out the groundwork for a future protocol. As it stands now, this protocol will enfold all countries and take over for Kyoto after its second commitment period ends. The decision this weekend set forth a timeline for its critical decisions--it will be agreed upon in 2015 and take "legal force" in 2020. Throughout the conference, the timeline debate exposed very divergent perspectives. Island nations and vulnerable states requested that a final agreement be operationalized by 2012 in order to thwart the worst impacts of climate change. A few of the larger emitters however, made numerous requests to enact the agreement by 2020 to give them adequate time to adapt. In the end, the negotiations compromised over a split deal. Those countries wishing to carry on Kyoto would renew their commitments next year. Everyone else in the world will wait until 2020.
The promise of a future agreement has evoked a residual cynicism from many observers. In 2009 the group failed to meet a deadline set forth by the Bali Action Plan to renew the Kyoto Protocol. Now it seems that a final and inclusive decision will have to wait another three years.
Despite this cynicism, it is crucial to acknowledge that negotiations take time. Smaller scale negotiations that are both much less complex and have fewer stakeholders often require more frequent and regular meetings to reach a consensus. COP17, on the other hand, is a conglomerate of 190-some countries each possessing different perspectives, interests, needs, and desires. Together they are trying to tackle a problem that quite literally impacts all economic sectors, global biodiversity, functioning ecosystems, not to mention health, security, water access, cultures, and traditions for billions of people. Complex doesn't even begin to describe this conflict.
This complexity is reflected in the odd contours that formed Sunday's final agreement. One of the characteristics worth tracking is the notion that the future protocol will be applied "with legal force." This curious term accommodates India's request to avoid a "legally binding" agreement. (More on India's position in another blog). As it stands, the current Kyoto Protocol is "legally binding"--although the consequences for noncompliance remain rather soft--(as evidenced by Canada's willingness to renege). More than anything "legally binding" makes it politically more difficult to pull out (as evidenced by the public backlash Canada received throughout the conference.) It won't be decided until 2015 what a protocol with "legal force" will look like--but as it is left in Durban, it seems to be not much more than a political agreement similar to, but weaker than, Kyoto's compliance measures.
In addition to the call for a different protocol, negotiators in Durban also set forth agreements supporting the Green Climate Fund. This adaptation fund would help the poorest and most vulnerable countries take measures to protect themselves and their people from the worst consequences of climate change. Everyone at the table seemed to reaffirm their support for the fund but the main functional details needed to enable the fund (where it will be housed and how it will be financed) never managed to reach agreement.
For a climate justice advocate such as myself, the talks resulted as a mixed bag slanted toward cynicism. Negotiators managed to avoid a worst-case scenario that would have ended Kyoto and weakened other climate change adaptation strategies. But the conference fell well short of deciding on any strategy that would prevent the dreaded 2 degree Celsius global temperature increase. By putting off decisions and actions for several more years, the UNFCCC's actions this year will jeopardize the well-being of far too many human lives.
There is hope, however.
