Women: A driving force behind thriving marijuana industry
DENVER — The perception among outsiders is that women are mostly caregivers in the recreational marijuana business — but several women taking prominent roles in the industry are shattering that notion.
"Most of the women in this business are strong entrepreneurs," said Jamie Lewis, who owns the Good Chemistry dispensary in Denver. "I see big moves for women in this industry moving forward."
Lewis also manages two growing operations and Mountain Medicine — her own line of marijuana edibles.
"Business has been good," she said, adding that she's looking to expand her kitchen in the coming months.
Not far from Good Chemistry on Colfax, Meg Collins leads the Cannabis Business Alliance — working with lobbyists and state lawmakers to shape marijuana-related legislation.
"There are a lot of business owners, a lot of women in ancillary businesses in the industry," Collins said. Adding, "there are no limits" for women looking to break into the industry.
A relative newcomer to the industry, Heather Despres, agrees.
"This is my dream come true," said Despres, who as Lab Director of CannLabs, helped build one of the only state-certified marijuana testing laboratories in Colorado.
While Despres says she's "honored to be part" of the budding business of recreational marijuana, she admits her success came with adversity.
"My last company that I worked for, I was the only woman. People tend to say 'Oh, sweety, what do you do here?" she said. "It has been challenging to overcome some of the stereotypes of women in science."
Along with Jamie Lewis and Meg Collins, Despres will be participating in the Colorado Cannabis Summit May 22nd — which features speakers and expert panels focused on improving marijuana products and developing technologies within the industry.

Are you one big sack of putrid protein?
Then you're fine
Ask him/her their definition of "putrified" - if they mean "broken down" then how does that differ from digestion? Do they mean pure protein, or protein food (50g protein =/= 50g steak)?
Sounds like some of those vegetarian/vegan "facts" that get thrown around.

Cusack and De Niro in Opaquely Plotted Thriller The Bag Man
John Cusack
Two things are made abundantly clear by The Bag Man: Hollywood has completely forgotten how to best utilize John Cusack, and Robert De Niro can still be entertainingly menacing if given peculiar material to work with.
Alas, listening to De Niro's criminal bigwig Dragna casually describe how he was motivated to take up his underworld profession by an episode of Full House isn't enough to salvage David Grovic's dreary directorial debut.
An opaquely plotted thriller with murky visuals to match, the film concerns disheveled hired gun Jack (Cusack), who's ordered by Dragna to retrieve a mysterious bag (which he can't look inside of) and deliver it to him at a Louisiana motel, where everyone from the weirdo wheelchair-bound manager (Crispin Glover) to an eye-patched pimp and sadistic sheriff (Dominic Purcell) wants him dead.
While fending off these profanely grating psychos, Jack gets caught up with a stunning six-foot-tall hooker (Rebecca Da Costa) he's not sure he can trust.
The trouble is that Grovic's attempts to generate suspense by keeping character identities and motivations unknown leaves the proceedings feeling vague and slapdash. Cusack may do frazzled-everyman cool better than most, but it'd be best if he stopped taking faux-noir tough guy roles that involve a Serbian little person peeing in his face.

A Mississippi levee board asked a federal appeals court Thursday to revive a $220 million Yazoo River flood control project that was vetoed by the Environmental Protection Agency in 2008 over concerns that it would harm wetlands and wildlife. A three-judge panel from the 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in New Orleans didn't immediately rule after hearing arguments in the case.
The Board of Mississippi Levee Commissioners sued the EPA in 2009 over its veto of the Yazoo Backwater Project. The board contends the proposed pumping station would protect wetlands, farmland and forests north of Vicksburg from flooding when the Mississippi River is high.
"It means real lives, real property," said board attorney Damien Schiff.
The board says last year's record-breaking floods along the Mississippi River underscore the need for the project, which was proposed more than three decades ago.
"It's unfair for the people of the south Delta to be told, 'You don't get flood control,'" Schiff said.
The EPA argues the board doesn't have legal standing to pursue its claims.
"The Board should not be permitted to take up the mantle of the (Army) Corps (of Engineers) to defend the Corps' project when the Corps itself has no wish to do so," government lawyers wrote in a recent court filing.
U.S. District Judge Sharion Aycock in Aberdeen, Miss., sided with the EPA and dismissed the lawsuit in March 2011.
Fifth Circuit Judge Catharina Haynes pressed government attorney Maggie Smith to explain what federal officials are doing to protect the area from flooding in the absence of the pumping station. Smith, who represents the EPA and the corps, said she couldn't answer that question.
"Last year, the floods were of a monumental proportion," Smith said. "These types of floods do occur, and the corps can only do so much."
The board claims the project, which is designed to reduce backwater flooding in the Yazoo River basin by draining water into the Mississippi River, was exempted from certain Clean Water Act requirements.
A key issue in the case is whether an Environmental Impact Statement for the project was submitted to Congress. The board says it was, pointing to cover letters that were sent to members of Congress in March 1983.
"It was plain error for the district court to assume the (Environmental Impact Statement) was not submitted to Congress," Schiff said.
But the EPA says the impact statements went missing, and the cover letters don't specifically mention the Yazoo Backwater Project.
"There was no notice to Congress whatsoever regarding an EIS being submitted for the pumps project," Smith said.
The board says Congress, through the Flood Control Act of 1941, authorized construction of a flood control project for the Yazoo River and appropriated some funds for it in July 1984. Construction began in 1986 but stopped about a year later when the board couldn't fully fund it.
Haynes asked Schiff why the board isn't asking Congress to settle the dispute and decide whether the project should go forward.
"Has anybody asked?" she said.
"If only it were that easy to have Congress act," Schiff said.
Michael Kunzelman of The Associated Press wrote this report.

Members of the ADL current Glass Leadership Institute (GLI), S/GLI Alumni and their spouses/significant others attended a special reception and viewing of the Dallas Holocaust Museum's Seeking Justice: The Leo Frank Case Revisited. The exhibit revisits the murder case and trial that ultimately captured the attention of the nation and led to the lynching of Leo Frank in Marietta, GA, in the early 1900s.
If there were doubts about the need for an ADL, that evaporated among significant parts of the community after the lynching. And it set the stage for the fundamental practice used by ADL and others in combating anti-Semitism: Get the information out and rely on the good will of public figures and institutions to delegitimize hate and prejudice.
ADL is grateful to the Dallas Holocaust Museum staff and leadership for bringing this important exhibit to the community and for their generous hospitality in hosting a special program for ADL's young leaders.
The 2013-2014 GLI class is Co-Chaired by Melissa Duchin and Sam Johnson; the S/GLI Alumni group is Co-Chaired by Caryn Berardi and Duncan Gilman. All four Co-Chairs are GLI graduates.

Obama takes agenda on tour, urging boost in minimum wage
WEST MIFFLIN -- He has taken to saying he has a pen and a phone that he can use to work around Republicans in Congress, but President Barack Obama also has a jet and a helicopter.
He used them both Wednesday as he set off on a two-day tour to promote his State of the Union agenda to increase economic mobility for American workers, stopping first at a Costco store in Lanham, Md., and then at a U.S. Steel plant outside Pittsburgh.
"Wherever I can take steps to expand opportunity for more families, regardless of what Congress does, that's what I'm going to do," Obama told steelworkers on a factory floor. "I am determined to work with all of you and citizens all across this country on the defining project of our generation, and that is to restore opportunity for every single person who's willing to work hard and take responsibility in this country."
The trip is also about Obama's campaign to restore his credibility with the public, which slid in 2013.
Republicans, who have bridled at the president's pen-and-phone rhetoric, dismissed his post-State of the Union travels. But with a gridlocked Congress, Obama is intent on using whatever tools he can find. Step one: stretch the attention on his State of the Union address into several days.
On Wednesday, Obama took two of the ideas he painted in broad strokes in his Tuesday address and added detail.
In Maryland, he focused on a key piece of his plan to take executive action, his decision to order federal contractors to pay at least $10.10 an hour, and called on Congress to raise the $7.25 national minimum wage.
"Nobody who works full time should ever have to raise a family in poverty," Obama told about 50 Costco employees.
In Pennsylvania, Obama talked about his plans to establish MyRA, a retirement savings product. The Treasury Department does not need congressional approval to establish such accounts. They will be guaranteed by the U.S. government. Workers will be able to start an account with $25 and contribute as little as $5 through automatic payroll deductions.
On the factory floor, Obama signed a memorandum to set up a pilot program by the end of the year and handed it to Treasury Secretary Jacob J. Lew. "Here, here's your memo," he said.

Call it a definite foul.
After a less-than-sensitive cartoon commercial that mercilessly mocked Jessica Simpson during FOX's NFL Sunday last week, the network and Burger King apologized for the ad.
"Burger King did not have any editorial input in the creation of the animation that ran last Sunday, and no one from Burger King Corp., approved it before it aired," FOX said in a statement. "Upon reflection, our poor attempt at humor was insensitive, and we deeply apologize to anyone who might have been offended."
In the commercial, cartoon versions of the Cowboys ribbed ex-boyfriend Tony Romo for dating her, skewered Simpson, 29, and for her weight gain after their breakup.
"Man, I still can't believe Tony dated Jessica Simpson, even after she blew up bigger than Flozell Adams!" Marion Barber said.
"Unlike Tony, at least Jessica comes up big when it counts!" Jason Witten responded.
And the cartoon version of coach Wade Phillips adds, "Say Tony, is Jessica around? We could use a defensive tackle!"
Romo was not available for comment.

Preaching is allowed on Bourbon Street, for now. A city ordinance bans so-called "aggressive solicitation" and restricts religious or political speech after dark.
A federal lawsuit filed last week by New Orleans pastor Paul Gros claims the ordinance is unconstitutional. He says police asked him to leave or face arrest back in May while he was preaching on Bourbon Street with his wife, another pastor and a friend. A federal judge ruled in Gros' favor and issued a temporary restraining order blocking enforcement of the law.
Less than a month ago several pastors were arrested for preaching on Bourbon Street during a gay pride festival. The American Center for Law and Justice is representing one of them.
In a letter to the city, the ACLJ, "A government body may not exclude or restrict the speech of private parties for the sole reason that the speech is religious. This is a fundamental proposition of constitutional law."

All month long, we're getting to know the team a little bit better. Today, we take a look at 25 things you may not know about anchor Shelley Walcott.
Shelley's favorite New Hampshire landmark is downtown Portsmouth. "I shot a story there in January, and couldn't help think how beautiful the city must be in the summer," Shelley said.
Shelley's most memorable story assignment included a trip to the Mississippi Delta to do a story on the history of blues music. "I interviewed a musician named Johnnie Billington. His music was so authentic and he was incredibly kind. Now that I'm older and have a better appreciation of history, I feel honored to have had the chance to meet such a blues icon," Shelley said.
If Shelley could interview anyone it would be…"Michelle Obama. I mean, first African-American first lady, working mother, style icon. There are so many questions I'd love to ask her," Shelley said.
When Shelley hears New Hampshire she thinks…trees, mountains and politics.
At the moment Shelley's music of choice is Whitney Houston's greatest hits CD.
What is Shelley's favorite ice cream? "Pralines and cream on a sugar cone. Love that salty sweet combination," Shelley said.
Shelley's favorite subject in school was…"drama. I had the lead role in my high school play, and won the drama award that year. It helped me get over my shyness," Shelley said.
Shelley's first car was a 1983 Peugeot. "I grew up in Montreal. You don't see too many Peugeots around the United States," Shelley said.
What is the one food Shelley can't live without? "My parents are from Barbados…my favorite is the country's national dish 'Cou Cou and Flying Fish.' It is a combination of okra and cornmeal combined with pepper, salt and Bajan hot sauce. The flying fish is either steamed or fried. I really should have my parents teach me how to make it," Shelley said.
Shelley's go to pizza topping? "I usually have to order cheese pizza for the kids. But my husband Taylor and I prefer BBQ Chicken pizza," Shelley said.
For her first job, Shelley worked as a cashier at McDonalds.
Shelley's favorite time of year is summer.
Shelley's favorite sports team is…"any team my kids are playing on. I already have them signed up for softball and t-ball leagues that start in the spring," Shelley said.
When she was growing up, Shelley loved reading. "I dreamed about writing books of my own. That could still happen," Shelley said.
Shelley's favorite non-news app is…"Angry Birds Star Wars. It keeps my four-year-old occupied for very long periods of time. And that makes me happy," Shelley said.
Shelley was just 13 years old when she attended her first concert, the Jackson's Victory Tour in Montreal.
Growing up Shelley's pets included goldfish and hamsters. She does not have any pets right now, but says she is seriously considering getting a dog for her kids.
The biggest influence in Shelley's life is her mother. "She always gave the best advice. And now that I have children of my own, I can honestly say my own mother was always right," Shelley said.
What are Shelley's all-time favorite shows? "I'm obsessed with Homeland, and nearly everything on HGTV," Shelley said.
Shelley's favorite movies are "The Sound of Music" and "Waiting to Exhale."
In her free time, Shelley says she "loves to hang out at home with my family, order pizza and rent movies," Shelley said.
Which celebrity would play Shelley in a movie about her life? "Kerry Washington. I don't think I look like her. I would just want her to play me," Shelley said.
If Shelley could go anywhere in the world right now it would be…"Barbados, to research my family history and soak up some Caribbean heat," Shelley said.
Shelley's current favorite restaurant is Cotton in Manchester.
What is one thing that might surprise you about Shelley? "Viewers would be surprised to know that I try to pray before every newscast. So many things can go wrong in live tv. Sometimes I believe divine intervention is the only thing that holds it all together," Shelley said.

Now that Hurricane Irene's floodwaters have receded, auto industry experts are warning consumers about a second deluge: Tens of thousands of waterlogged wrecks are about to hit the used-car market.
Flood-damaged vehicles often resurface in areas across the country following the hurricane season, but in light of the heavy damage caused by the recent storm, this year's supply of lemons is expected to be particularly bountiful.
"We've had quite a bit of rain and flooding, so it will be worse than usual this year," said Philip Reed, senior consumer advice editor for automotive research site Edmunds.com. "It's a danger for car buyers."
The danger is that once a damaged car goes to the salvage yard, an unscrupulous dealer might refurbish and resell it, often to an unsuspecting buyer in another state, he said. By moving the car to a different state and having it change hands multiple times, a dealer can erase any record of damage, a practice called "title washing." Private sellers may also try selling their vehicle, without disclosing the damage to the buyer.
Because the waterlogged cars must be given time to dry, they'll probably surface within the next month and continue cropping up throughout the fall, he said. In a recent advisory, Edmunds.com cautioned buyers in all states to be on the lookout for signs of water damage in vehicles, including musty odors, discolored carpeting, fogged-up headlamps, rust in the undercarriage, and dirt in unusual places.
"Basically, you don't want this car," Reed said. "It might be working properly now, but the problems could show up later."
In particular, flooding — especially with levels high enough to fill the engine compartment — can damage a car's electrical and safety systems, causing airbags and antilock brakes to malfunction and effectively turning the car into "a ticking time bomb," according to vehicle history provider Carfax.
Carfax estimates the number of damaged cars that make it back into the marketplace could reach the tens of thousands, especially since the recent flooding affected such a densely-populated region.
Of the 600,000 cars damaged by the 2005 hurricane season — which included Katrina, Wilma and Rita — half of them resurfaced on the market, the company said. While some of them were sold with full disclosure, often the buyer had no idea about a car's soggy history, said Chris Basso, a spokesman for Carfax.
Another ploy to watch out for, Basso said, is repair shops that use parts from damaged cars to fix vehicles. Even six years after Hurricane Katrina, some water-damaged parts are still floating around the market, he said.
Generally, consumers in non-flood states are particularly susceptible to scams because they don't think to look for water damage. Consumers can avoid this, in part, by ordering a vehicle history report from Carfax, which keeps all records of any damage reported to states, police and insurance companies, he said. Carfax also offers a free flood damage check on its website.
But because car records are limited to what has been disclosed, prospective buyers should also take extra precautions, such as taking the car for a test drive and getting it inspected by a mechanic, he said.
"People are looking to make off with your money and leave you with a car that's rotting from the inside out," he said. "Diligence is key."
In New Jersey, failing to disclose past damage to a vehicle is subject to a penalty of up to $10,000 for the first incident, under the Consumer Fraud Act. In the last two years, the state Division of Consumer Affairs said it has reached settlements totaling $240,000 with five used-car dealers accused of withholding information about damage.
"You can kick the tires, open the hood, check the body for rust but, unless you are told, you can never see that the car ot truck you want to buy was severely damaged and subsequently repaired," said Thomas R. Calcagni, director of the division.
The New Jersey Coalition of Automotive Retailers encouraged prospective buyers to shop only at reputable dealerships with a physical business location, and be wary of deals that appear to be better than what everyone else is offering.
"If it's too good to be true, it probably is," said Jim Appleton, president of the group, which represents 515 franchised dealers across the state.
In the long run, however, what the industry needs is a national records database, so that cars branded for salvage, fire, theft and collision damage in one state cannot resurface in another state with a clean record, he said.
Until then, crooked dealers will continue taking advantage of the "patchwork" of state regulations.
"As sure as the sun comes out after the rainfall, there will be unscrupulous people who will take flood-damaged vehicles and try to pass them off as quality vehicles," Appleton said. "It's tough for consumers to protect themselves from that."

The OZWST 2014 Grant Report for The AST has been published.
OZWST 2014 – What a Ride!
OZWST 2014 is officially over… although unofficially I hope it continues on via blog posts, tweets, learning, ideas, etc, etc.
Speaking of tweets, below is a list of most of them (warning – it's a long list, and in reverse date order).
The AST Grant Report will be developed over the coming weeks and should be published via their newsletter in the not too distant future. So please keep an eye out for that.
In my opinion it was an amazing weekend. I had a blast, learned a lot, and as an organiser feel very proud seeing, and listening to, how others have also reacted very positively to it.
Enjoy some of the tweets…
Note – I could spend hours editing a copy/paste from Twitter, but I'm not going to. My apologies for any duplicates, etc.
@alisterscott hi, the focus was product risk, automation only rated a passing mention based on the ERs presented #OZWST

@kengel100 or are you referring specifically to business not getting roi on a project as a project risk? #ozwst
@kengel100 e.g. releasing a product with a security flaw that causes business infrastructure to be owned? 2/2 #ozwst
@kengel100 so is a product's negative impact on the releasing business not considered a product risk #OZWST 1/2
@madAsTheMadHat my latest definition of product risk is "the likelihood of negative user experience\quality". ROI is a project risk #ozwst
David Greenlees @MartialTester

There's nothing like an #OZWST peer conference to make me question what words\terms really mean. Current topic is Product Risk
OZWST 2014 only a few days away…
OZWST 2014 is this weekend in sunny Brisbane, Australia (well, sunny in parts if you look at the forecast!).
The theme…
Experiences in Acquiring a Sense of Risk:
Testing is about reporting the truth about a product. But that truth must speak to our clients concerns about risk. So how do we come to a sense of risk? This is a vital subject, because it not only relates to our ultimate mission, but also our prejudices which lead us to test more in one area than another. A sense of risk can be a self-fulfilling prophecy. There are no formulae that tell us how to judge risk. It is a heuristic and narrative process. We are interested in experience reports (ER) about large and small ways that you have done it. Does it emerge just from bugs? From reputation? From periods of time not finding bugs? A risk analysis exercise may also be acceptable instead of an experience report.
The above is in reference to product risk. I.e. How do you come to understand if the product is good enough?
The attendees…
- Richard Robinson (Facilitator)
- James Bach (Content Owner)
- David Greenlees (Logistics)
- Angela Baird
- Dean Mackenzie
- Kim Engel
- Alister Scott

Thanks again to both Software Education (venue) and the AST (catering).
Sure to be a fabulous couple of days.
AST & Software Education Helping the Testing Community Downunder!
Once again, I must say a HUGE thank you to both The AST and Software Education for their help with OZWST 2014.
The AST has been kind enough to provide a Grant which will take care of the catering for the two day Peer Conference.
Software Education has been kind enough to provide a venue and various logistics coordination that go along with that.
It's important to note that both of these organisations don't HAVE to do the above. Sure, there will be intangible benefits for them, but nothing direct. Obviously I'm stoked that they both do these sorts of things, otherwise OZWST probably wouldn't exist, at least in its current form.
Watch this space for a final list of attendees and what I look to produce from the Peer Conference in June.
OZWST 2014 Theme
The OZWST 2014 theme has been determined…
Experiences in Acquiring a Sense of Risk:
Testing is about reporting the truth about a product. But that truth must speak to our clients concerns about risk. So how do we come to a sense of risk?

As previously updated, James Bach will be joining us in Brisbane as Content Owner, along with Richard Robinson as Facilitator. The final attendee list will be announced once it has been finalised.
Software Education have kindly offered the use of one of their training rooms which is sure to be a great location for some stellar debate!
It's been a little quiet around here lately but that's all about to change… OZWST will be back with a vengeance in 2014!
We'll be heading north to the Sunshine State for 2 full days of Peer Conference magic in Brisbane (aka Brisvegas). Software Education have kindly agreed to host us (thank you very much!) for the event and we'll once again have a very special international guest as Content Owner…
James Bach will be visiting Oz and has kindly offered some of his valuable time.
Details of the chosen theme will be published soon.
14/15 June 2014 are the dates… so if you're interested in attending (limited space) please note these and get in contact with me ASAP. My contact details can be found here.
Another Report for OZWST 2013…
Dean Mackenzie has written a fantastic report of OZWST 2013 in the latest issue of OZTester.

Murder trial begins for man accused in girlfriend's death
By JIM McBRIDE
Globe-News Courts Writer
Prosecution testimony opened Tuesday in the murder trial of a city man accused of strangling his former girlfriend in 1995.
Clifford Scott Medley is on trial for the 1995 strangulation death of 36-year-old Frankie W. Steinbrecher.
Medley is defending himself in the case, but defense attorney Warren Clark has been asked to serve as stand-by counsel if Medley seeks advice during the trial.
The case is being heard by 251st District Judge Pat Pirtle.
The body of Steinbrecher was found in May 1995 lying in a ditch beside Texas 136 about 11 miles north of Amarillo. At the time, authorities estimated she had been left there about a week earlier.
Investigators linked Medley to the crime after his former wife, Wemberly Medley, told police she had taken him on May 30, 1995, to the area where the victim's body was found. Medley had called her earlier and asked for a ride, according to a criminal complaint filed in the case.
According to the criminal complaint, Clifford Medley unloaded a heavy object near the gully late that night.
Days later, Medley's ex-wife became concerned abound the incident and discussed it with Samuel Edwards, Medley's stepbrother. They returned to the gully and found the victim's body wrapped in a blanket, according to court records and testimony.
In his opening statement, prosecutor Chuck Slaughter told jurors evidence would show that Medley killed the victim because she was leaving him.
"By God, if he wasn't going to have her, no one else could," Slaughter told the jury.
Slaughter said testimony would show that the victim was strangled with a coat hanger wrapped around a cloth towel.
Medley opted Tuesday afternoon not to make an opening statement in the case.
During testimony Tuesday, Lathan Douglas, the victim's son, told the jury that his mother and Medley had argued and that he wanted her to move in with him.
Another witness, Ellen Meech, told the jury that the victim was her best friend and that she helped Steinbrecher move some of her belongings out of a motel room the victim had shared with the defendant.
During his cross-examination, Medley asked Meech if she had not introduced him to Steinbrecher.
"No, I did not introduce you to Frankie," she said.
Lt. Ed Smith of the Potter-Randall Special Crimes Unit testified that authorities became aware of the case after a local attorney asked him to come to his office.
Smith said he went to the crime scene after the defendant's wife and Edwards said they had found Steinbrecher's body.
Earlier Tuesday, prosecutors and Medley selected a seven-man, five-woman jury to hear the case.
Shortly before the jury was selected, Pirtle conferred with prosecutors and Medley about a juror who said she was nervous and was uncertain whether she could serve in the case.
The juror was kept on the panel, but Pirtle appointed another man as an alternate juror because he said he had concerns about whether the juror would complete the trial.

Voice: Janet A. Durbin, Hale
I am writing to tell you that we really enjoy your Sunday paper. We have the local Long Lake Grocery save our copy each week until we get there to buy it. My husband especially enjoys the magazine and the travel section, and he finds your TV Guide essential to life. I love Andrew Heller's column in the Today section and the Average Josephine column, Carolyn's column and the puzzles in the Posh section. I also read some of the comics, and my husband reads other sections too.
I was very disappointed in your Nov. 6 Sports section, however. I would think that when there is a major (and nationally televised) horse race on Saturday afternoon (The Breeders Cup), your Sunday Sports section would print the results. The Breeder's Cup is as important as the Kentucky Derby and other Triple Crown races. I think you goofed, and I still don't know who won, placed and showed in that race because we were not able to watch it on TV, and you did not print it.
In the future, I do hope that you will print horse racing results when the race is a major one.

While much of the Paleo world is directed toward weight loss, there are a few of us who are looking to it as a hope for help from gut dybiosis and other illnesses that have caused us to lose weight. Thus, we are looking for healthy weight gain, recovery from malnourishment, and intestinal health (i.e, no yeast infections, bacterial overgrowth, etc.). We have all heard testimonies of colon-health recovery via the paleo-world.
Yet, for someone of extremely, extremely low body-weight, the low-carb can present a concern. Yet, there are certain aspects that make a lot of sense to go low-carb, ie., the reduction of inflammation, starches/sugars feeding infections, anti-body attack against starches/grains, etc.
My general question iswhat would you suggest for healthy weight gain for those of us with extremely low body weight?
What is a good macronutrient ratio? I.e., I have heard a 50% fat, 30% carb, and 20% protein; or a 60-20-20 or a 40-30-30 respectively ratio. Is there one that is better to gain weight?
More specific questions that pertain to us all follow:
The paleo-world talks about the body being able to make all its glucose needs from fats and proteins. What about someone who has no body fat to lose? Will it all come from the fat consumption in the diet without endangering further loss of body fat or eating muscles? I.e., I have heard that 100g of glucose forming carbs will raise insulin sufficient to shut down ketone production --is ketone production bad or good for a person trying to gain weight? Or something that may potentially bring health to the intestinal system?
If one was trying to eliminate sugars that feed bacteria, yet ensure enough calories and weight gain, should safe starches be included (white potatoes, taro, yucca, sweet potatoes, squash, white rice)? Or should a greater number of sugary vegetables (beets, carrots, tomatoes, squash) be included? Is one type better than another then, i.e. if a carrot has glucose is it better than a glucose molecule from a starch?
Related, will a cup of salsa that has a lot of the sugary vegetables (onions and tomatoes) raise blood sugar just as much as one of the maligned starches, i.e., potato?
Is the sugar in beets better than starch to not feed unhealthy bacteria? The GAPS diet advocates the elimination of starch because they feed the bad bacteria--but would a non-ketogenic diet that has a lot of squash and beets and the "sugary" vegetables feed it just as much?
Depression and serotonin deficiency often accompanies a low body weight and malnutrition. I have heard concerns of low serotonin and cortisol levels on a low-carb diet (but it is not defined what "low" is). How grams of carbs, or ratio of calorie consumption, does one need to CREATE good serotonin and cortisol levels?
Thank you so much!

Taylor Lautner and Kristen Stewart go for a ride in new 'Eclipse' clip
The domination of the "Twilight Saga: New Moon" during the 2010 MTV Movie Awards proved the fevered passion for the vampire saga has hardly dissipated. When you can beat "Avatar" and "The Hangover" in category after category, you've got a massive fanbase that hasn't abandoned you. Those devoted Twilighters got a treat as Summit Entertainment provided a new extended clip from "The Twilight Saga: Eclipse" which opens later this month on June 30.
The clip finds Bella (Kristen Stewart) once again in the middle of a dueling Edward (Robert Pattinson) and Jacob (Taylor Lautner) who really don't like each other. Looking to calm things down, the scene ends with Bella leaving with a cocky Jacob to talk things out. It's arguably one of the better clips released from the David Slade film so far.
You can check it out embedded below.
"The Twilight Saga: Eclipse" opens nationwide on June 30.

This is how they did it.
They named their form f like this <form name="f"> and they named that particular input field q like this <input name="q">
In the header they defined this function as javascript:
function sf(){document.f.q.focus();}
Then they called that function when the page loads by placeing the following in the body tag:
I hope that helps.
EDIT: I see 21inchguns posted just before me...<?

Taylor Wessing Photographic Portrait Prize 2012, National Portrait Gallery | Visual arts reviews, news & interviews
Taylor Wessing Photographic Portrait Prize 2012, National Portrait Gallery
Outstanding images from eminent photographic masters and students alike
The Taylor Wessing Photographic… well, you get the drift. It's quite a long title for what is now one of the most fascinating and wide-ranging exhibitions of photographs mounted in London, and which goes out on tour nationally next year. It is described as a snapshot of contemporary portrait photography, and this is one of the strongest iterations yet, 60 photographs selected from an international submission of over 5,000 images from more than 2,000 photographers, all taken within the last year or so.
Each has been chosen blind, as the photographer was not identified during the selection. In practice this means that the eminently accomplished and senior masters of the genre - two dozen photographs by the sexagenerian Eamonn McCabe are already in the NPG collection and here he is with an emotive portrait of the artist Sarah Lucas, simultaneously wiry, resilient and extraordinarily pale and rather scruffy, perched on the rim of a modest swimming pool in Suffolk – are on view, along with photographers who are still students or just emerging.
Alma Haser is a German who graduated from Nottingham Trent two years ago, and her compelling offering is two eerily similar adolescent boys, friends, deadpan in identical haircuts, one clutching the other, called The Ventriloquist (pictured right), a title which makes the viewer wonder about the ties that bind. The image won fourth prize. First prize was awarded to the portrait by 28-year-old Barcelona-born London resident Jordi Ruiz Cirera of a young Bolivian woman, Margarita Teichroeb, clearly itchily uncomfortable in front of the camera. She is a Mennonite, descendant of a religiously exclusive German sect who rather improbably settled in Bolivia centuries ago, and still live in isolated subsistence farming communities, similar to the Amish of Pennsylvania. Simplicity and awkwardness combine to telling effect.
Some of the subjects are also eminently recognisable, although who realised that Mark Rylance has such startling greenish-blue eyes, as seen in his strikingly introverted portrait (pictured below) by Spencer Murphy (third prize). David Bailey looks like a cleaned-up tramp who happens to have lucked into a handsome interior in a photograph by Rick Morris Pushinsky, whom Bailey commended for quickness while demanding to know all the technical details. There is a huge portrait of Hilary Mantel, in a subtly charming hat, caught by Michael Birt standing on a Cornish beach in a moment between rainstorms. There is an extraordinary dignity and serenity in Sam Faulkner's black and white photograph of Jane Goodall.
There is also many a tragic or disturbing portrait. Justin Sutcliffe photographs police constable David Rathband, who was randomly shot and blinded and would kill himself a few months later. He stares eerily out at the camera through his alarmingly convincing artificial eyes.
In Gujarat, Darran Rees photographs (from the inside of a lorry's cab) a very young and rather beautiful Indian lorry driver, standing against a backdrop of speeding lorries: one of the hardest jobs in the world and hardly attended by vigilant health and safety measures. Likewise the group of Delhi roadworkers, photographed at night by Jeremy Rata, one standing on a barrel almost like a plinth. Somehow, the mood conveyed in both is subtly heroic.

Erie homicide suspect charged in drug case
An Erie man charged with fatally shooting another man on the city's east side in July is facing drug and endangerment charges related to his apprehension at a Summit Township hotel in February.
Michael R. James, 29, is accused of hiding out in a hotel room where state police said they found cocaine, cash and other items consistent with drug distribution on Feb. 12.
Also charged in the case is 23-year-old Deshuna D. Crosby, of Erie, who was in the hotel room when members of the U.S. Marshals Western Pennsylvania Fugitive Task Force went there looking for James on the late afternoon of Feb. 12.
Both were arraigned last week on charges of criminal conspiracy, possession with intent to deliver, possession of drug paraphernalia and endangering the welfare of children. James remains in the Erie County Prison without bond on criminal homicide and other charges in the July 13 fatal shooting of 25-year-old Teverous G. "Gooney" Williams.
Crosby remained in jail Monday on $5,000 bond in the drug case.
State police said they found three bags of suspected cocaine hidden in an infant carrier inside a room of the Wyngate by Windham Suites Hotel on Oliver Road after they were called there by U.S. Marshals on Feb. 12. The drugs were found after a 5-month-old boy was removed from the carrier, according to court documents.
Police said they also found Crosby in possession of a large amount of cash, which she said was hers. James made a statement claiming the drugs were his, according to court documents.
Investigators said at the time of James' apprehension that Crosby was found in possession of $2,595 in cash, and that the 7.02 ounces of suspected powder and crack cocaine found in the room had a street value of at least $20,000.
James was taken from the hotel and was arraigned on charges in the homicide case. Crosby was taken from the room to the Erie County Prison, as she had been out of jail on work release when she was found at the hotel, according to prison officials.
The 5-month-old boy, whom investigators said is the child of Crosby and James, was turned over to a relative.
James and Crosby are scheduled to appear before Summit Township District Judge Brian McGowan for their preliminary hearings in the drug case later this month.

A brand new Stanley Cup champions banner will be raised to the very old Mellon Arena rafters during the Penguins' Oct. 2 season opener against the New York Rangers.
Since the NHL released the regular-season schedule Wednesday, the planning has begun for the Penguins' opening-night ceremonies. Team vice president of communications Tom McMillan said other than the date, no other details have been finalized.
It could be a night filled with mixed emotions as the Penguins and their fans celebrate their third Stanley Cup victory and cherish the final season-opener at Mellon Arena.
The conference and division championship banners also will be on display along with a scoring title banner, which will include center Evgeni Malkin's accomplishment from this past season.
They'll hang from the 48-year-old building until at least April 8, when the Penguins will play their last regular-season game — against the New York Islanders — at Mellon Arena.
I naturally assume Ray Shero is an avid reader of my blog as one day after I postulated on the impact of losing two stay-at-home blueliners in Hal Gill and Rob Scuderi, the Pens GM inked Jay McKee to a bargain deal of $800,000 for one year.
McKee, who was bought out of the final year of his contract with the Blues, remains one of the league's premier shot-blockers – he was seventh in the league with 185 in 2008-09 – and is arguably an upgrade over the two departed defensemen…for far, far less.

I don't think I need to explain that cortisol makes losing weight rather difficult due to its anti-metabolic effects—same goes for all the stress hormones—they suppress the ability of the cell to produce energy.
If someone has a "roller coaster ride" when consuming a lot of fruit (or white sugar) it means their ability to store glycogen has been compromised (excessive stress, low thyroid, poor liver function), not that they need to eat a high-fat diet.
The Primal Blueprint Diagrams | Mark's Daily Apple
If this chart was accurate, Durianrider would be beyond obese.
Without T3 and progesterone you're unable to retain magnesium. Without carbon dioxide, the cell loses magnesium/potassium and takes up calcium/sodium. Without T3 you cannot use vitamin A (retinol) and you cannot convert beta carotene to vitamin A.
Orange juice & supplemental white sugar increase T3.
Instead give us your personal insights on cortisol, adrenaline, ACTH, and the other hormones you told me you were familiar with.

The Equity Premium: A Deeper Puzzle
Francisco Azeredo
Northwestern University; University of Chicago - Graham School of General Studies
August 31, 2013
Traditional pre-1929 consumption measures understate the extent of serial correlation in the U.S. annual real growth rate of per capita consumption of non-durables and services due to measurement limitations in the construction of their major components. Under alternative measures proposed in this study, the serial correlation of consumption growth is 0.42 for the 1899−2009, contrary to the estimate of −0.15 under the traditional measures. This new evidence implies that the class of economies studied by Mehra and Prescott [1985] generates negative equity premium for reasonable risk aversion levels. Thus further exacerbating the equity premium puzzle.

Updating the graphics and soundtrack, but intelligently retaining the pixel-perfect timing that made the original so agonisingly addictive, SAM MM comprises three sets of twenty screens each. Unlike the Speccy version you don't get a preview of the levels at the beginning of the game. This means that each new screen is a surprise; and quite often a nasty one, as the designers have been commendably devious. Cutting to the quick, SAM MM is a super game. The pretty graphics, funky music and jaunty FX are well matched by the viciously addictive gameplay. Such a combination is hard to beat, which funnily enough sums up the game as a whole. Stump up and get stuck in.

HOLLIDAYSBURG - Hollidaysburg's Alex Scheel didn't light up the stat sheet against Williamsport, but her post defense played an important role in the Lady Tigers success.
"Alex Scheel's defense was a big key to the win. Their two post players can be very difficult," Hollidaysburg coach Deanna Jubeck said. "She and Morgan Jennings got us some early steals and made it possible to push the ball in transition."
Hollidaysburg defeated the Lady Millionaires, 61-43, Thursday at the HAHS gym for its 10th win of the season against just one loss.
The Lady Tigers got off to a fast start and kept the pressure on Williamsport throughout the first half. Hollidaysburg jumped out to a 13-2 lead and by the break, enjoyed a 21-point cushion.
"We talked before the game about getting off to a fast start and playing 32 minutes of maximum effort basketball," Jubeck said.
After Williamsport scored the first bucket of the game, Hollidaysburg reeled off the next 13 points, 10 coming from Courteney Storm.
The senior forward scored twice on the fastbreak, twice close to the basket in the halfcourt offense and converted a pair of free throws.
Williamsport (7-6) scored the final four points of the opening quarter, but the Lady Tigers started the second quarter just as strong as they did the first with a 13-3 run for a 26-9 lead.
Jennings opened the quarter with a 15-foot jump shot, McClain followed with a driving layup and a 3-pointer for five of her team-high 13 points. Sierra Kirsch added a fastbreak layup and a jump shot from the baseline.
Scheel scored on the fastbreak as well with an assist from Storm.
McClain scored five more points later in the quarter, and Caroline Ellis' 3-pointer just before halftime put Hollidaysburg up 34-13 at the break.
"Coming in against a team like Hollidaysburg, we knew it'd be a tough battle," Williamsport coach Derek Slaughter said. "We have some young players. This is a great learning experience playing on a big court against an aggressive team. It'll only help us as we go through the second half of the season."
Williamsport's post players Jaynelle Robinson and Jahnae Hall-Gaddy scored 18 and 13 points, respectively, but most of those points came in the second half after Scheel and Jennings were done for the night.
Jubeck pulled the starters midway through the third quarter, giving extended minutes to the reserves.
"If we can get a deeper in the bench that'll be a big benefit for us later in the season," Jubeck said.
WILLIAMSPORT (43): Harsch 2 0-0 4, Southard 0 0-0 0, Jennings 3 0-0 7, Robinson 9 0-4 18, Hall-Gaddy 6 1-2 13, Peterson 0 0-0 0, Whaley 0 1-2 1, Erb 0 0-0 0. Totals - 20 2-8 43.
HOLLIDAYSBURG (61): Jennings 2 0-0 4, Storm 5 2-2 12, Kirsch 2 2-2 6, Scheel 1 0-2 2, McClain 5 1-2 13, Davis 1 0-0 3, Palfey 1 0-0 3, Ellis 1 0-0 3, Hurliman 3 0-0 6, Haupt 0 0-0 0, Wilkinson 1 2-2 4, Stitt 0 0-0 0. Totals - 23 10-13 61.
Williamsport 6 7 16 14 - 43
Hollidaysburg 13 21 19 8 - 61
3-point goals: Williamsport 1 (Jennings); Hollidaysburg 5 (McClain 2, Davis, Palfey, Ellis).

Confused Spurs still aiming for No. 1 seed
Gregg Popovich's demeanor was unusually frivolous prior to Saturday's tip against the Atlanta Hawks. He had a persistent smirk, a back-and-forth, swaying posture and an "ask me a question and see what happens" look to him. So, naturally, I did.
After Pop announced Nando De Colo would start in place of the injured Tony Parker, I asked him to comment on the rookie point guard's progress. How much has Nando improved?
"36.5 percent," he quipped before shrugging his shoulders and shaking his head.
Pop's goofy sarcasm and terse yet vague answers seemed to reflect on the state of things around the Spurs' locker room. As it turns out, we're not the only ones confused by the team's performance over the last month.
"(We're) not as good as we were two months ago," Pop said, specifically referring to his defense. "I don't know why. Lots of reasons. We'd done a great job at it and we backslid, as they say."
And as he said, there are plenty of identifiable reasons as to why the Spurs have dropped off, despite regaining the lead position in the race for the West's top spot two nights ago. Whether it's injuries, rest, fatigue or attrition, things haven't been right for San Antonio since Parker first went down with a sprained left ankle on the first night of March. Tack on yet another hamstring injury to Manu Ginobili and the numbers have been falling freely.
The Spurs have resided in the top 5 on both offense and defense for the majority of the season, something Popovich placed a paramount on last summer. But over the last 17 games (beginning with the March 3 game against Detroit, when Cory Joseph made his first start of the season), San Antonio's defensive-efficiency rating has dropped from 98.1 to 102.1 points allowed per 100 possessions, which is tenth in the league during that timeframe. That middle-of-the-pack range defensively is what the Spurs were desperately trying to avoid in the wake of several years worth of disappointing playoff exits.
What carried San Antonio to those high seeds in recent years, though, was an elite offense. While their defense hardly brought back memories of the team's title runs, the Spurs were setting a franchise precedent on the offensive end, putting up numbers never before seen during the Popovich, Tim Duncan era. Even with the improved defense this season, San Antonio was able to sustain high point totals and an offensive-efficiency rating of 107.3, good for fourth in the NBA up until the Parker injury. But since then that number has crashed.
Since March 3, San Antonio's 104.4 points per 100 possessions is brutally average — 15th out of 30 teams. The Spurs' 57.7 true-shooting percentage was third in the league through the end of February, but since then this team has fallen to 11th in the same category. Furthermore, the success the silver and black had from the paint — in many ways the lifeblood of the Spurs' offense — dropped nearly four percentage points from its average through the first four months of the season. And as a result, however indirectly, their efficiency has dropped off from beyond the arc as well. San Antonio's drive-and-kick offense isn't nearly as effective without its two best playmakers, but that's pretty obvious.
Basically, across the board, the Spurs have had their issues in recent weeks. They've stopped scoring as efficiently as they're accustomed to, the defense has slipped, and because of it all they find themselves in a battle for first place out West after recently giving up a three-game cushion.
Or maybe the more appropriate phrasing would be, despite all of that, they still sit atop their conference.
Even with all the issues, all the problems that have surfaced, the Spurs still lead the Thunder by a full game in the standings, they still control their own destiny and certain star players are potentially on the verge of returning from injury in the near future. And as they do, San Antonio will inch closer to properly situating rotations and personnel groupings over the course of the next five games.
And is it really just as simple as that? Are these struggles basically just tied to the rash of injuries this team has experienced? It's easy to look at the big, fat DNP labels next to the names of guys like Ginobili and Parker and point to them as the reasons for the slide, but only time will tell if that is indeed the case. This team has stressed the importance of health relentlessly over the years, even if it sacrifices the overrated idea of momentum. So from here, all San Antonio can do is wait.
The Spurs, after all, have been through the process before.
"The good thing about it, we've been in this game a long time, so we know how to deal with the bumps and bruises," Stephen Jackson said at a recent shootaround. "But I guarantee, come playoff time, everybody will be ready to go.
"My word."
