For more than a year, Attorney General Eric Holder has failed to adequately explain why his Justice Department dropped a slam-dunk voter-intimidation case against the New Black Panther Party.
His department's answers to inquiries have been incomplete and unsatisfactory. Career attorneys involved in the case have not been available for questioning, even when subpoenaed.
Now, one lawyer is speaking up - and making damning allegations against the Justice Department.
J. Christian Adams, who was a Justice Department voting-rights lawyer until he resigned last month, is scheduled to testify before the U.S. Commission on Civil Rights on Tuesday. At issue are the events of Election Day 2008 in Philadelphia.

Fort Dorchester High School graduate Charles Drew Buehring is among a host of athletes who will be joining The Citadel cross country and track and field teams this year.
On Monday, Bulldog Head Coach Jody Huddleston announced the addition of 16 men and 10 women to the 2012-13 rosters for the teams. This year's recruits cover nine states with 13 being from South Carolina and five from the Lowcountry.
Over the past several seasons, Buehring was a staple for both the Fort Dorchester cross country team and the Patriot track team. At the 2012 4-A state track meet, he finished the 1600 in 4:15.22 to place second. He was also the top Lowcountry finisher at the state cross country championship meet last school year, placing ninth with a 16:03 finish. He placed seventh at that meet in 2010.
Buehrings PR in the mile is 4:15 while his PR in the 5k is a 15:56. He has posted a 9:48 time in the 3200. Bulldog coaches are expecting the former Patriot to make an immediate impact on the cross country team and believe he has the potential to break The Citadels indoor and outdoor records for the mile.
Other athletes added to the mens program and the high school they graduated from include Tevin Williams (Stratford), Jayce Almes (Wando), Neil Blake (Coastal Christian), George Trae Carson (Blythewood), Leo Grucella (Lancaster), Darius Johnson (Northwestern), Miles Keohane (Wando), Nicholas Prestigiacomo (Christian Brother Academy), Jonathan Reed (Cardinal OHara), Christian Sevidal (North Gwinnett), William Sloane (West Ashley) and Joseph Pinto (West Islip).
The mens team has one transfer student, Gustavo Vazquez-Milan from Kansas State University.
"I am very excited about this year's freshman class, Huddleston said. Coach (Kris) Kut has done an excellent job recruiting. We expect several of this year's freshmen to make an immediate impact most notably in the hurdles. Graduate student Gus Vazquez-Milan and freshman Tevin Williams will likely claim spots on the 4x400. Distance runners Drew Buehring and Miles Keohane could be Top-5 runners for the Bulldogs this fall."
Joining the Lady Bulldog teams are Jennifer Burch (Socastee), Caillian Colquitt (Southside Christian), Jessica Dewitte (Eisenhower), Marissa Hutton (Chapin), Kristen Kessinger (White Oak), Madison Mayleben (Skyline), Brittany McKinney (Maroa-Forsyth), Virginia Moriah Morton (Fletcher), Jaqueline Thompson (Harrison) and Danielle Williams (Camden County).
"Danielle Williams and Brittany McKinney will compete in several events and should claim some freshman and perhaps a school records," Huddleston said. "Jaqueline Thompson and Madison Mayleben should be Top-5 runners in cross country and Jessica Dewitte and Caillian Colquitt will add a great deal of depth for this year's squad. "
The Bulldog's will open the season on Aug. 31 in Columbia at the Gamecock Invitational. For more information on Bulldog cross country or track and field, visit Twitter @CitadelSports, Facebook or the official website of The Citadel Athletics, www.citadelsports.com.

These are inspired by the Sleepless Goat Cafe in Kingston, a very cool vegan-friendly place we used to frequent when we went to Queen's (ah, sweet, sweet nostalgia). They are incredibly tasty with a crispy tortilla outside and a sweet cinnamony inside.
- large wheat tortillas
- 1 onion, diced
- 4 tbsp oil
- 2 medium sweet potatoes
- 2 tsp cinnamon
- 1 tsp cumin
- 4 tbsp brown sugar
- 1 tsp salt
- margarine
1. Prick sweet potatoes with a fork and cook in the microwave until soft. Cooking time will vary depending on your microwave and the size of the potatoes. When potatoes are done, scoop flesh out of skins and mash.
2. Heat oil on med-hi in a frying pan. Fry onions until golden brown.
3. Add potatoes, cinnamon, cumin, sugar, and salt. Mix well and remove from heat.
4. Heat a cast iron pan on medium heat. Spread a thin layer of margarine on one side of a tortilla. Flip over. Spread a thick layer of the potato mixture of half of the tortilla. Fold over. Cook in cast iron pan on both sides until golden brown. Cut into three pieces. Serve.
Dip the quesedillas in vegan sour cream, if you want. We didn't have any on hand.

As the daughter of a doctor (her brother is also a practicing physician), you'd think that Giovanna Breu, our Chicago-based medicine and science correspondent, would want to go into medicine herself. Not so. "I took anatomy and physiology courses at Smith," says Breu, 53, "and that was enough."
Still, Giovanna can be found regularly in hospitals, operating rooms and musty medical libraries in search of a story. Her recent report on Christopher Vollan, a child born with painful spina bifida (PEOPLE, May 28), prompted an outpouring of letters. Her first piece for the magazine in 1974 also involved babies and was about a Chicago doctor who delivered them at home, often in the city's poorer neighborhoods. Once Giovanna witnessed a child being born on a kitchen table covered with newspapers. This week she was in Milwaukee, reporting the story of Leslie Lemke, 32, a retarded man who is also a prodigy on the piano (page 26).
When Giovanna went to the Lemke home for the interview, she was greeted by Lemke's 84-year-old foster mother, May—who was dressed for the occasion in a ball gown. Lemke, who is blind, then made his way to a piano and played an original composition for his guest—a little ditty he called Giovanna From Havana. "I'd known about his story for years," says Breu. "But the trick was to do him and his foster mother justice."
Giovanna's interest in medicine was piqued quite by accident when her son underwent a series of operations to correct a birth defect. During long hours at the hospital, Giovanna discovered that "everyone there had a story to tell." Thus, her specialty was born.
Breu appreciates the drama of the operating room, but her compassion for her story subjects lasts long after deadline. She is still in touch with Baby Christopher, for instance, and reports he is doing fine and "is just adorable—I'd like to take him home."
Giovanna lives in Chicago with her writer husband, Joseph, and their children, Christopher, now 16 and fully recovered, and Eugenia, 11. What little spare time she has goes to the Chicago String Ensemble, where she is on the board of directors.
"Being a doctor is hard," says Giovanna, who should know. "The phone is always ringing, and you never have the weekends free. Come to think of it," she adds, laughing, "it sounds just like what I'm doing now."

Outgoing U.S. Sen. Jim DeMint said this morning he is not pressuring Gov. Nikki Haley in any way regarding who she appoints to replace him, but he hopes she looks to one of the states current Congressmen.
DeMint also told WSCs Kelly Golden that he expects Haley will announce her choice today.
After he made his decision last week to retire from the Senate next month to lead the nonprofit Heritage Foundation, numerous reports said DeMint wanted to see U.S. Rep. Tim Scott, R-S.C., to replace him, though DeMint has denied that.
DeMint said today he trusts Haley to make the pick, calling her a movement conservative.
DeMint said he called Haley to tell her he was resigning, adding, Ive not called her since, and Im not pressuring her in any way. ... Im convinced we share the same philosophy. We have a great Congressional delegation, and I hope she looks at those folks.
U.S. Reps. Scott and Trey Gowdy, R-S.C., former S.C. Attorney General Henry McMaster, Department of Health and Environmental Control director Catherine Templeton and former S.C. First Lady Jenny Sanford are on Haleys short list, announced this week.
She has said she wont drag out the process of vetting them and making her choice.
Well probably hear today who that is, DeMint said. Im convinced that is a person who is as good or better than Jim DeMint.

Into the Abyss, Congress Makes it Easy for BJD
By Srimoy Kar
Published: 23rd Mar 2014 09:32:47 AM
The Congress in Odisha seems to have surrendered the battle even before the war has begun. Beset with large-scale exodus of senior leaders coupled with a sulking lot and an utterly demoralised outfit, it seems to be diving into the abyss, incapable of throwing a challenge to the Biju Janata Dal in both the Parliamentary and Assembly elections.
For the party, which could have realistically looked forward to putting up a good show this time even as poll surveys projected a record fourth term for the BJD, it presents a dismal picture with almost half of its top brass in dissent mode. Given the present affairs in the state unit, the Congress might even struggle to retain its 2009 tally of 27 Assembly and six Parliamentary seats.
With political pundits making gloomy predictions, the responsibility to steer the party in the forthcoming polls lies with Union minister Srikant Jena and his protege OPCC president Jaydev Jena at the helm. Ironically, Srikant Jena, who started his political career as an acolyte of Biju Patnaik and built his career as a Congress baiter, is now in charge of the party which is beginning to witness disastrous effect. The functioning of the Jena duo has been annoying with leaders of more than three to four decades standing quitting allegedly due to lack of internal democracy. The desertions which started as a trickle with the resignation of Nayagarh district Congress president Hemendra Singh and Sibsankar Ulaka, son of veteran leader and former minister Ramchandra Ulaka, have taken the shape of a tsunami.
The huge jolt to the party came in the shape of Leader of Opposition in the Assembly, Bhupinder Singh and secretary Anup Sai, who left with protestations of being sidelined by the Jena coterie. This, in fact, has emerged the common accusation against the present dispensation right from senior leaders to the grassroots.
The process of selection of candidates has also been arbitrary with local organisations not being consulted let alone the leaders, causing widespread resentment in the rank and file. As desertions continue unabated, several senior leaders like former Chief Minister and MP
Hemananda Biswal have gone into a sulk. Heaping embarrassment on the party, he has refrained from filing nomination from his Sundargarh Parliamentary seat.
The grand old party, which had begun to project a united front under Niranjan Patnaik and rattled Naveen Patnaik with systematic attacks only a year back, has again been reduced to a grossly fractured house, squandering the opportunity of improving its performance by raking up corruption, the multitude of scams like mining, chit fund, etc., and other failures of the state government. The present predicament also exposes the failure of Rahul Gandhi who in a bid to infuse freshness into the organisation has completely divided it. Encouraged by the success of appointing a Dalit at the helm in Karnataka, Rahul installed Jaydev Jena as OPCC chief for the second time months before the polls, little knowing that caste factors matter nothing in Odisha politics. As the theatre in Congress plays out, rival BJD is making merry with Naveen Patnaik lapping up the defectors lock, stock and barrel.

The Board of Health of Camden, N. J., where a recent epidemic of tetanus after vaccination has occurred, has sent out a circular giving the facts of the case. Samples of all the different makes of vaccine employed have been tested by the State bacteriologist of New Jersey and found free from tetanus germs, which fact alone shows that the vaccine matter itself was innocent in these cases. The history of each case of tetanus, moreover, has been carefully collected. In every case vaccination was practiced in a cleanly and correct manner, the subsequent infection being due to the patients' own neglect or that of their parents, and their omission to present themselves to the attending physicians to receive proper attention. One case of tetanus occurred in a boy who had not been vaccinated, but had received a gunshot wound, thus showing that the infection is not confined to any

To the editor:
I wish to share what I believe are obvious examples of misrepresentation given by almost all liberal Republicans, and quite a few so-called conservatives. The first is that members of the Obama administration, including his Cabinet, should be held accountable for their actions.
Why? They are saying and doing exactly what their boss wants them to do. Does anyone with a brain believe that some flunky, or even Eric Holder, would run an operation like Fast and Furious, without the direct knowledge and approval of our president? How about Hillary and Benghazi with Susan Rice going on TV, with the ridiculous story about a film causing the attack, and the seeming absence of our president?
Now I don't know of the chief's exact location at the time, but I'm sure he was quite busy, helping to fabricate the film story, while surrounded by his top brain trust. He didn't seem to know much about the whole thing, but he did know enough to go before the United Nations and give the false film story. How about Kathleen Sebelius and Obamacare? He lies and she swears to it.
Of course our president knows nothing about the IRS targeting conservative groups, to deny tax-exempt status in an election year, but he vowed to get to the bottom of it. (He should look to the top) but somehow knows that not a smidgeon of evidence exists, pointing to wrongdoing. Of course we all believe him, but if he wants to put this phony scandal to rest, why not have all the requested information released, and after its release, let's have Lois Lerner testify.
Mr. President, I suppose you don't have the constitutional authority to do about anything else you wish to do. We constantly hear stories about the tyrant in the Senate, Harry Reid, who blocks about all legislation sent from the House, and will not even bring legislation offered by Senate Republicans to the floor. Is he going against our president? Right!
Also, when any cabinet member, department head, agency head and basically any official gets caught in any controversial situation, our president, like Sergeant Shultz of "Hogan's Heroes," knows nothing.
Now I'm not saying that the above-noted persons are being forced to be part of the ruination of our nation, but I do believe that they are fellow travelers and the exact socialist people our president wants. Now as to almost all the GOP-elected officials and talking heads, including Bill O'Reilly and Shawn Hannity, they seem to justify all the sinister moves of our president by saying that he doesn't know how to govern, doesn't understand economics, doesn't understand foreign policy and can't possibly understand the plight of the common man, since he lived such a pampered life and never had a real lunch bucket, roll-up-your-sleeves type job.
Bill O'Reilly many times has said that the president means well, but just doesn't get it, doesn't understand, and seems to act as a socialist but isn't one.
Shame on you all for giving who I believe is a dedicated totalitarian despot such an easy way out. You people compare our president to the proverbial mushroom who is kept in the dark and is fed nothing but junk from his underlings. Come on.
My opinion is that our president was raised a radical and remains a radical. As for his competence, he is not stupid, but I don't think that matters because he knows where he wants our country to go, and he's surrounded himself with the brain trust he needs to get us there and if he succeeds, we'll look a lot more like Venezuela than like the U.S. that we've long since taken for granted.
Our president has really only one superior talent and that is public speaking with the use of a prompter. He's not all that different from the TV pitchman who says, "But wait, we'll double your order, just pay additional shipping and handling," and the additional charges end up costing about the same as buying two in the beginning. Of all the big-name talk show hosts, only Mark Levin and Rush Limbaugh got it right from the very beginning. Please recall Rush saying that he hoped President Obama fails. Meaning, fails to do what he planned to do to our country. Unfortunately our president has succeeded to a great degree in the ruination of this country, to the point that many former supporters are finally waking up. His job approval rating of 38 percent (36 percent on health care) represents his left-wing, hard-core base, and even the unions are figuring out what a counterfeit he really is. Any knowledgeable Democrat, any elected Democrat about county level, has to realize just how terrible our current administration really is and their slogan should be, "We have met the enemy and they are us."
I sincerely hope that the 38 percent approval doesn't include one good thinking person in the Mifflin/Juniata area.

How the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act Protects Debtors
|Email Print
The Fair Debt Collection Practices Act has been around in different forms for several decades, but is rarely well-known by the average consumer. While I won't be covering each and every piece of information in the document, I do want to summarize some of the key sections.
If you are currently struggling with debt and have fallen behind, there is a large chance you are dealing with collectors on a regular basis. In this situation, it is vitally important that you have a firm grasp on your rights. Violations of these rights occur on a daily basis, fueled by the lack of knowledge from the average consumer.
I'm Current On My Debt. Why Should I Care?
Even if you aren't struggling with debt, I'd be willing to bet there is someone in your life who is. Nothing gets my blood boiling more than stories about debt collectors taking advantage of people in desperate financial situations. If someone you care about finds themselves in this situation, you will be glad you have the information to help them!
Don't get me wrong, I know for a fact that not all debt collectors are bad people. But like many groups, a few "bad apples" are causing the entire industry to spiral out of control. Ultimately, consumers should take responsibility in fulfilling obligations they knowingly enter into and receive benefit from. However, they should be able to do this without being subject to harassment or abuse.
Disclaimer: The information provided below is a general summary and should not be mistaken for a definitive list. If you feel like you have been the victim of harassment of any kind, please contact a local professional who can review the specifics of your situation. Any quoted text references this full-length PDF, which is publicly provided by the FTC.
To start, let's take a look at Congress' own reasons for addressing this issue.
They've outlined it remarkably well in the early parts of the act:
§ 802. Congressional findings and declaration of purpose
- There is abundant evidence of the use of abusive, deceptive, and unfair debt collection practices by many debt collectors. Abusive debt collection practices contribute to the number of personal bankruptcies, to marital instability, to the loss of jobs, and to invasions of individual privacy.
- Existing laws and procedures for redressing these injuries are inadequate to protect consumers.
- Means other than misrepresentation or other abusive debt collection practices are available for the effective collection of debts.
I couldn't agree more!
Now, onto some of the specifics…
How a collector should act when talking to anyone other than the person that actually owes the debt.
A collector should:
- Identify themselves, but not their employer unless specifically asked.
- Reasonably attempt to speak only with an attorney, once they are informed that the consumer is represented by an attorney.
A collector should NOT:
- Ever state that the consumer owes any debt.
- Contact a person more than once after receiving complete and accurate information.
- Communicate by post card.
- Send mail which indicates, on the outside of the envelope, that it is about the collection of a debt.
How a collector should act when talking to anyone other than the person that actually owes the debt.
A collector should:
- Cease contact upon being informed that the consumer refuses to pay the debt or wishes to not be contacted further. Afterwords, the collector should only contact the consumer to:
- Acknowledge that further collection efforts will be terminated.
- Inform the consumer of all potential remedies.
- Notify the consumer that a specific remedy has been initiated (pending lawsuit, etc…).
A collector should NOT:
- Contact a consumer at a time which is a known (or should be a known) inconvenience. By default they should not contact the consumer before 8 a.m. or after 9 p.m. local time (of consumer).
- Contact consumers at their place of employment, after being informed that it is not permitted by the employer.
List of prohibited practices that are considered harassment and/or abuse.
A collector should NOT:
- Use or threaten violence or any other criminal activity.
- Use obscene language with the intent to abuse the consumer.
- Publish a private list of consumers who refuse to pay debts.
- Leverage the sale of a debt in order to coerce payment.
- Repeatedly or continuously call, regardless of whether the consumer answers, with the intent to annoy.
- Engage in a telephone call without disclosing their identity.
List of prohibited practices that are considered false, deceptive, or misleading.
A collector should:
- Properly disclose that the collector is attempting to collect a debt.
- Immediately classify and continue to report a disputed debt as actually "disputed."
A collector should NOT:
- Falsely claim to be "vouched for, bonded by, or affiliated with the United States or any State."
- Falsely represent the "character, amount, or legal status of any debt."
- Falsely represent any compensation for the collection of a debt.
- Falsely claim to be an attorney or that any communication is from an attorney.
- Claim that nonpayment will lead to arrest or that any property will be seized unless the collector:
- Can lawfully claim seizure of said property.
- Intends to actually take that action.
- Threaten any action that is not legal or that they do not intend to actually do.
- Falsely claim that an impending sale of the debt could cause future harassment from another entity.
- Disgrace the consumer by claiming that the debt was a result of a crime.
- Threaten to communicate false credit information to a third party.
- Falsely representing a document as approved by any court or government entity.
- Use any fake business or company name.
- Falsely claim to be associated with a consumer reporting agency.
List of additional prohibited practices that are considered unfair.
A collector should NOT:
- Increase the amount of the original debt by adding their own interest, fees, or expenses, unless the original debt agreement authorizes said fees.
- Accept a postdated check with the intent of instituting criminal prosecution.
- Threaten to or actually deposit a postdated check before the date on the payment.
- Cause a consumer to incur additional charges from communication, such as collect calls or telegram fees, by concealing the purpose of the communication.
Outline of "30 day" notices and initial obligations of the collector.
Within five days after the initial communication, a debt collector should provide the following information:
- Total amount of the debt.
- Name of the original creditor.
- A statement that informs the consumer they have 30 days to dispute the validity of any portion of the debt.
- A statement that if the consumer disputes within 30 days, the collector will be responsible for providing written verification of the original debt.
- A statement that that the consumer may request, also within 30 days, the original creditor's name and address.
If a consumer (a) disputes the validity of any portion of the debt or (b) requests the original creditor's name and address, the collector should cease collection of the debt until all the information requested is provided.
How collectors should handle single payments by consumers with multiple debts.
A collector should:
- Attempt to "apply such payments in accordance with consumer's directions."
A collector should NOT:
- Apply any amount to a debt which is being disputed.
In the event of a lawsuit, discusses where a collector should file suit.
A collector should:
- In the event they wish to enforce interest in real property, bring action in the judicial district where the actual property is located.
- If no interest in real property, only bring action in the judicial district where:
- The consumer signed the original debt obligation.
- The consumer currently resides.
Last, but not least…
No one plans to be in a situation where they are dealing daily with creditors. However, a large number of families find themselves in this situation. By familiarizing ourselves with our rights under the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act, we can minimize the financial hardship exacerbated by irresponsible and abusive collection techniques.{ 12 comments, please add your thoughts now! }

The Belford Christmas Lights fund and the village's football team have both benefitted from a head shave with a difference.
Nigel Turner, landlord of the Black Swan Hotel, raised £1000 by having his head shaved in the pub recently. The shaving, by Pat Bruce, was carried out over two weeks, with Nigel going about his business for a week with half long hair and half a shaved head, with his beard half long half shaved on opposite sides.
He is pictured above presenting £500 to Eric Gassner and Ian Carruthers (far and second left respectively), representing the Belford Christmas Lights Fund, and £500 to Walter Dunn (right) of Belford Football Club.
"We plan to use the money to refurbish the car parking area at the clubs ground in the village," said Walter, who also helps organises the football club's facebook group which villagers use to help raise funds and organise work parties for the club house.
Eric added that the Christmas Lights Committee planned to use the money to buy a large number of LED lights for the southern end of the village.

20 Easy Money Making Ideas
Last year I wrote a very well-received post listing 100 money saving tips for the holidays that has helped quite a few people. However, you can only do so much with saving. What if you've cut back as much as you possible can? You need to start looking at the income side of the equation.
It's like losing weight, you either eat less or exercise more. If you're down to bread and water, it really doesn't help to read another article about how eating celery can help you lose weight. At some point, you need to start reading about working out. Let this be your article on working out your wallet and bringing in a few extra dollars.

It does a good job of debunking the anti-fat hysteria. But then it replaces it with anti-carb hysteria.
I wish he would at least leave potatoes alone. What did potatoes ever do to him?
It does a good job of debunking the anti-fat hysteria. But then it replaces it with anti-carb hysteria.

Ye shall know them by their fruits.
i didnt think anti carb, he wasnt ketogenic low anyway
"Todays technological age is enjoyed by the fattest, laziest humans in the history of humanity." -Mark Sisson
"Something about his calorie counts didn't make sense. I asked Morgan Spurlock for his diet journals. No response. I asked his management agency for them. No response."
Gold. This small bit at the outset of the flick sold it for me.
Read. The. Book.
i did not care for the mcdonald's advocacy.
it was like a strange mix of advocating the SAD, portion control, and low carb eating. all at once.
I was irked by the fact that he never reported his sodium counts. They had to be sky-high.
That movie lead me to the primal blueprint when he talks about humans not being designed to eat grain.
I enjoy this movie a lot. I've recommended this movie to many adults in my life who are too cynical or unfocused to actually sit down and read the primal/paleo literature I send them (my dad, my boss, etc). Its been a wonderful resource to open people's eyes and get them interested, but it is by no means the be-all and end-all of the food movement. And Tom doesn't claim that it is, either. His website (Fat Head - Blog site for the comedy-documentary Fat Head) links to and cites other sources all the time, I enjoy it greatly.
"Since going primal, I've found that there are very few problems that cannot be solved with butter and/or bacon fat."
My amusing take on paleo-blogging: http://whatshouldwecallpaleolife.tumblr.com/
Are you a Primal in San Francisco, or the SF Bay Area in general? Join our facebook group!
I'm pretty sure his point in making the documentary is that it's irresponsible to blame fast food for your problems. The underlying theme of the movie really is about a lack of personal responsibility/accountability not only in what most American's eat, but why they're eating it in addition to the downsides of just believing everything you're told instead of researching it for yourself. Even at the end he reiterates that a fast food diet isn't a healthy diet and mentioned that after completing the documentary, he was sick of fast food and proceeded to drop his carbohydrate intake very low and spent 30 days eating mostly meat, coconut oil, vegetables and cheese and lost even more weight.
Bear in mind that Fat Head is anti-Super Size Me more than it is pro-Fast Food Consumption. For most people that eat a SAD, eating "Fat Head" is an improvement for them because in the end, what they're really doing is eliminating a noticeable portion of crap from their diets like french fries (vegetable oils), coke and sweets. If 100 overweight people ditched those things for 90 days, I bet 70 of them would make further adjustments towards a "healthy" diet.
I think it's a great documentary, at least with what I walked away from it with which was to think for yourself and not believe everything you're told and/or read. I've known about Atkins/Protein Power/Etc for a decade, and had even heard a little about paleo (mostly incorrect information that it is low carb/lowfat/high protein) but ultimately, it's reading the books and information surrounding Fat Head that actually led me to jumping into Paleo.
There is a LOT that I dislike about the movie, but I have to give credit where credit is due.
After watching it, I was intrigued enough to order copies of Good Calories/Bad Calories and Protein Power Lifeplan to see if what he said had any validity.
Those books led me to read further, where I came across Robb Wolf, Art Devaney and of course Mark Sisson.
I was on a research quest anyway to get to the route of my screwy lipids, so I may have ended up here anyway, but Tom gets a nod for pointing me in the right direction.
I've also seen a lot of other posts where people credit him with opening the door for them.
I don't recommend the video to many people unless they have the ability to take the good and throw out the bad (which seems to be a lacking scholastic ability in most people), but I was able to share it with my brother.

by James E. Miller, Mises:
In an effort to inject a bit of "spunk" into his otherwise dry presidential campaign, former Massachusetts Governor Mitt Romney has chosen Wisconsin Congressmen Paul Ryan to be his vice president in his face-off with President Barack Obama this fall. Ryan, who currently serves as the Chairman of the powerful House Budget Committee, was seen a risky choice due to his controversial budget measure that is seen as a radical restructuring plan for the national entitlement state. Titled "The Path to Prosperity," Ryan's plan has received a lot of attention over the past few days.
The mainstream media has predictably chosen sides with the announcement of Ryan as the veep nominee. The praise and criticism launched at Ryan by the usual suspects amounts to little more than predetermined clichés that fall within the simple paradigm of elephant versus jackass. On the left side of the political spectrum, Ryan has been charged with proposing draconian spending cuts that leave the poor to wallow in destitution without any assistance from Uncle Sam. The New York Times has lead the charge in accusing Ryan's blueprint of being "cramped" and creating a government" that will be absent when people need it the most." Over on the right, the Wisconsin Congressman has been extolled for his braveness in meeting Washington's fiscal challenges head-on. Stephen Moore of the Wall Street Journal has written that Ryan's "policy roots lie in the growth and opportunity wing of the GOP."
In short, Paul Ryan is being depicted with regurgitated slogans that have little to no bearing on reality. The state-supporting media needs a story and is desperate to keep the American people convinced they still have an actual choice in policies come this November. The clearly unsustainable status quo is of no concern to the two major political parties that act as "two wings of the same bird of prey."

FLINT, Michigan -- You can end 2008 with an 8K run and a 5K walk that begins at 2 p.m. Wednesday from the downtown YMCA, 411 E. Third St.
Ready for a run? With the exception of this Wednesday - New Year's Eve - a running group meets weekly at the Downtown Flint YMCA, 411 E. Third St., every Wednesday at 5:30 p.m. There's a dedicated group of walkers too, who leave a little earlier. Most are members of the local running club, The Riverbend Striders. Many like to grab a meal afterward. So, if you're looking for some running company, this is a good place to start. Worried, no one might be there, give Bauman's a call at (810) 238-5981.
About The Weekly Jog: Started Feb. 28, this is an offshoot of "Mac's Blog on the Run" that's typically posted Thursdays at noon (except this week because of the holiday). Its focus is to detail news and notes about the Flint area running community.
Age: 33
Occupation: Flint Journal interim opinion editor and copy editor
Running background: One year of cross country at Livonia Churchill High School in the fall of 1991 (had a crush on a girl, found out I loved running instead). Got hurt in 1992 and quit running while adding "The Freshmen 15" every year in college at Michigan State University (Go Spartans!). Rediscovered running after joining the Flint YMCA and meeting area runners who helped me to achieve all that's below.
Personal records: 16:46 (5K in 2003), 35:25 (10K in 2004), 58:42 (10M in 2004 at the Crim), 1:16:09 (half marathon in 2004), 2:49:03 (marathon in 2003) -- looks like my better days could be behind me (hope not).
Running highlights: Losing about 90 pounds after not really running for about eight years/winning 14 road races in Michigan (all small field events)/completing 16 marathons (including one during an Ironman triathlon in 2004 -- yeah, it was tough, but it was worth it).
How I did in my last race(s): On Dec. 13, I ran a 25:12 (8:07 per mile) in the Holiday Hustle in Dexter.
Next big race: Nothing planned yet. Any suggestions? What's your next big goal? Please share in the comments area below or e-mail me.

GRAND RAPIDS, MI — Consider the past month of cold weather a taste of what's to come for the start of the first full week of 2014.
Forecasters increasingly are becoming concerned about yet another arctic blast to sweep the state. This one, in contrast to others we've seen this year, has the potential to hold Monday's highs to the single digits and knock wind chills down to near -25 degrees.
It'll be the coldest air West Michigan has seen since February 2007, said Evan Webb, a meteorologist at the National Weather Service in Grand Rapids.
"It could be a really big deal considering so many folks heading back to work and students going to school Monday morning," Webb said.
While weather seemingly is unpredictable in West Michigan, forecasters are certain: "Dangerously cold air" is set to invade the state and even points south across the southern U.S., and people need to take precautions to stay warm, Webb said.
Some snow on the order of light accumulations are possible when the system passes through, but forecasters predict any snowfall will be light and blowing around with gusty winds near 30 mph Monday into Tuesday.
Here's a glimpse into next week's forecast for Grand Rapids from the Weather Service:
Monday: Snow showers likely with widespread blowing snow. Mostly cloudy and cold, with a high near 6 degrees. Breezy.
Monday night: A chance of snow showers. Mostly cloudy, with a low around -2 degrees.
Tuesday: A chance of snow showers. Mostly cloudy and cold, with a high near 8 degrees.
**Webb notes temperatures will begin to fall Sunday afternoon with winds on the increase. Tuesday morning especially could be brutal, with a morning low of -1 degree and a wind chill of -20 degrees.

Netflix Inc. reported 630,000 new U.S. Internet customers in the second quarter, missing analysts' estimates with results that underscored the difficulty meeting investors' growth expectations. The stock fell.
The lower-than-projected signups brought the domestic total to 29.8 million, Los Gatos, California-based Netflix said today on its website. Analysts estimated Netflix would end the quarter with 29.9 million U.S. online users, the average of eight estimates compiled by Bloomberg.
Original shows such as "Arrested Development" and the Emmy-nominated "House of Cards" are a crucial component of the company's efforts to attract viewers. The lower subscriber number suggests turnover is rising as films and shows cycle off the service, said Michael Pachter, a Wedbush Securities analyst who recommends selling the stock. Netflix is getting choosier in licensing content while managing its costs, he said.
"This just reflects how difficult the balancing act for them is," Pachter said in an interview. "They're making a bet they can grow with less quantity, though with admittedly higher quality content."
Second-quarter net income rose almost fivefold to $29.5 million, or 49 cents share, from $6.16 million, or 11 cents, a year earlier. Analysts had forecast 40 cents, the average of 25 estimates.
Sales increased 20 percent to $1.07 billion, matching estimates, from $889.2 million a year ago. Netflix charges $7.99 a month for its Web service.
Subscriber Forecast
Netflix slid 7 percent to $243 in extended trading after results were out. The stock fell 1 percent to $261.96 at the close in New York. Netflix has almost tripled this year and is the top performer in the Standard & Poor's 500 Index.
Net income this quarter will be $18 million to $34 million, or 30 cents to 56 cents a share, the company said. Analysts predict profit of 43 cents on revenue of $1.1 billion.
Netflix forecasts 690,000 to 1.49 million new domestic streaming customers in the current third quarter, according to the statement. Analysts, on average, project 1.1 million. The company predicts sales of $693 million to $701 million and profit of $161 million to $171 million for the domestic Web business.
For its international streaming business, Netflix forecasts revenue of $170 million to $184 million, and a loss of $70 million to $86 million, according to the statement.
International Viewers
Netflix added 610,000 international subscribers during the second quarter to bring the total to 7.75 million. DVD customers shrank by 47,000 to 7.51 million.
The company is spending about 5 percent of its $2 billion annual content budget on original shows, bolstering its library of films and TV reruns before it obtaining exclusive content from Walt Disney Co., DreamWorks Animation SKG Inc. and others.
Later this month, Netflix will premiere "Mako Mermaids," a teens series. For the rest of 2013, the company plans the new Ricky Gervais series "Derek," season two of "Lilyhammer" and "Turbo: F.A.S.T." from DreamWorks Animation.
The company plans to expand its originals strategy into documentaries and stand-up comedy, according to the statement.
The disappointing signup number casts doubt on Hastings's so-called "virtuous cycle" in which subscriber additions fund ever-increasing program spending, in turn attracting even more users, said Paul Sweeney, Bloomberg Industries' media analyst.
"If sub growth slows or worse, this virtuous cycle can become more of a vicious cycle," Sweeney said.

JERUSALEM, Israel -- Israelis gathered in a massive demonstration on Wednesday to protest the recent government freeze on building in Judea and Samaria (The West Bank.)
Many blamed pressure from the Obama administration for the construction freeze.
Unrest in Jerusalem
The freeze on building in Israeli settlements in the biblical heartland of Judea and Samaria is planned to last for 10 months.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu says it's intended to coax Palestinians back to the negotiating table, but it has sparked clashes among Israelis instead.
Thousands of Israelis from around the country demonstrated in the streets of Jerusalem against the building freeze. Some believe that the temporary halt to building is only a prelude to uprooting Jewish communities in the future.
They say they won't allow building in Judea and Samaria to be stopped.
"I came here tonight to make a very strong statement. The land is ours. We are not going to be stopped from building in Judea and Samaria," said Sondra Oster Baras of Christian Friends of Israeli Communities.
Baras says she believes that Netanyahu is under intense pressure from Washington, D.C.
"I think Bibi is between a rock and a hard place," she said. "I think particularly the United States is pressuring him and saying 'do you want our help with Iran whose amassing nuclear power right now? Then you're going to have to stop the settlements.'"
Freeze Causes Tough Times for Israeli Communities
Meanwhile, community leaders say the freeze is hitting them hard.
With 37,000 residents Ma'aleh Adumim is the largest Jewish community in Judea and Samaria. Mayor Benny Kashriel says people in his town are suffering.
"There are a lot of people that they already bought the land and they paid for the builders to build their home and right now they cannot build and they lose a lot of money," he said.
Located less than five miles from Jerusalem, Kashriel says his city would remain in Israeli hands in any final agreement with the Palestinians. He says the government is now trying to prevent people who grew up in the town from living there.
"This government is saying 'You gave all your duties to your country, but we'll not give you the right to live in your home," he said.
At Wednesday's demonstration Mayor Shaul Goldstein said Israelis chose a rightwing government in democratic elections. Now Netanyahu has to fulfill his pledges.
"He has to fulfill the agenda he promised before the elections and this is enlarging the settlements, enlarging our communities strengthening them and not freezing them," Goldstein said.
The mayor says Netanyahu must stand up to pressure from the U.S. and Europe.
"We think Netanyahu should stand still and on the contrary he has to tell the world Judea and Samaria is ours, belongs to the Jewish people," Goldstein said. "Jerusalem was never the capital of any other nation but the Jews."

Ratings for Dr. Monica Lara-Cordoba
Okay I admit I am the biggest baby in the world when it comes to dental work. Probably stemming from a bad experience I had years ago when I got my wisdom teeth pulled. I needed gum surgery which included pulling a tooth and a bone graft on another. I was scared to death. Dr Cordoba and her staff never made me feel silly. They did an amazing job of comforting my fears but best of all I didn't feel any pain during the procedure. And I'm healing amazingly well- no pain killers needed. I think the best complement I can offer is that I won't be scared at all if I ever have to go back.
My wife and I travel from Las Vegas to the Bay area at least twice a year and mainly to visit Dr Cordoba for Deep cleaning. I believe that we found the best in the Bay.She has the friendlies and most professional staff and we are treated like family
Dr. Cordoba did a wonderful job with my gum graft surgery. It healed up wonderfully with no pain killers needed. I need to have another gum graft done, and I'm so thankful, knowing that I will be in good hands with Dr. Cordoba.

Do the Taliban Deserve a Second Chance?Politics
- Highlights
- watch now
After the demise of Osama Bin Laden, the current situation in Afghanistan and with the Taliban is a topical one to say the least. It has come to light that the conduct of this war has been highly problematic. People from many countries who have sent troops are asking where do we go to from here? And now we are faced with the vexing issue of negotiating with an enemy.
James Fergusson, author of the book "Taliban", brings a unique insight into the history of the religious movement which has become the world's most feared fighting force. Mustafa Qadri is an independent journalist who spent the last three years on the ground Pakistan and brings first-hand knowledge of the situation to the discussion.
Australian psychiatrist and writer, Ida Lichter, focuses her thoughts on women's rights, as Muslim women struggle to achieve equality after centuries of oppression. Women's involvement is critical to moving forward with peace, she argues.
This panel discussion, from Sydney Writer's Festival 2011, is moderated by James Brown, from the Lowy Institute's International Security Program. Due to technical difficulties, unfortunately we aren't able to present to talk in its entirety. Apologies.
James Fergusson is a freelance journalist and foreign correspondent who has written for many publications including The Independent, The Times, The Daily Telegraph, The Daily Mail and The Economist. His book, "The Vitamin Murders: Who Killed Healthy Eating in Britain?", was shortlisted for the AndrSimon Award for gastronomic literature. His latest, "Taliban", is considered the definitive history of the Afghani religious movement. He is married with two daughters and a son and lives in Edinburgh.
Ida Lichter is an Australian psychiatrist and writer who spent many years in the UK researching Muslim women dissidents struggling to achieve equality after centuries of oppression. She has contributed to programs for ABC Radio National, written for The Australian and The Huffington Post. Her book, "Muslim Women Reformers" has become an essential text in American universities.
Mustafa Qadri is Amnesty International's Pakistan researcher. Born and raised in Sydney, he is an independent journalist who lived in Pakistan for the past three years reporting on terrorism, human rights and politics. He writes regularly for The Guardian and The Australian and is frequently featured on ABC Radio National.
James Brown served as an officer in the Australian Army prior to joining the Lowy Institute's International Security Program as a military associate. He commanded a cavalry troop in Iraq, served with Special Forces in Afghanistan, and received a commendation for his work in the Solomon Islands. James studied economics at the University of Sydney and completed postgraduate studies in strategy at the University of New South Wales.

Ida Lichter gave convincing reasons to deny the Taliban a second chance.
Unfortunately, James Fergusson glossed over the Taliban's malice towards women.

Pity technical difficulties prevented the entire presentation. I found the discussion and all the presenters so interesting and informative.
09 Jun 2011 10:50:16pm
Without the technical issues, and without the snooty Ida Lichter, who didn't seem to contribute much or have much confidence in what little she had to say, this might have been a great discussion. Fergusson and Qadri next time.

Just as well diversity of opinion is so valuable. I thought James Ferguson's presentation was evangelising Sharia Law and it sent strong chills of fear through my spine. Quite the contray regarding Ida Lichter who has clear evidence of her subject and the only barrow she pushes is to bring to the world that reform for Muslim women is essential.

Preservation includes a variety of methods, from simply freezing foods like raspberries to pickling cucumbers. Preserving is a cost-effective way to extend the life of fresh, locally grown food through the non-growing season (typically late fall/early winter to early spring).
Preserving your garden harvest is a great way to save money because you are not paying for someone else to grow, preserve and advertise the food. You can reuse the same canning jars again and again rather than paying for the packaging of a product each time to buy it at the grocery store. And, you are not paying the costs of transporting the food across the globe.
You have ultimate control over what you are eating when preserving food for yourself with fresh whole ingredients. You do not have to worry about mystery "artificial preservatives" in your food and what they might include. And, you can tailor your preserved products to serve your own dietary wishes and needs, for example, by utilizing low sodium or sugar recipes.
You can involve your whole family in preservation-related activities, from picking produce at a pick your own farm to combining ingredients. Homemade preserved products also make great gifts for family and friends. There are plenty of related fun tasks that kids can complete on their own or with some assistance, such as painting or drawing labels.

Whether you're looking to make a switch or picking one for the first time, choosing a merchant processor is a very important decision and can be vital to the overall success of your business. Better Business Bureau (BBB) is advising business owners to do their homework before selecting a merchant processor.
One of the most important ways to make your business thrive is to please your customers and, many times, that means offering a variety of payment methods. According to one estimate, businesses forfeit up to 80 percent of consumer impulse buys if they don't accept credit cards. But, before making the switch, or picking one for the first time, business owners need to select their merchant processing service with care. To date, in 2011, BBB has received more than 1,700 complaints against credit card merchant and processing services.
"Accepting credit cards gives customers options, whether it's to charge a purchase and pay it off over time, or to use a debit card rather than write a check. By offering your customer options, you are opening the doors for increased revenue," said Patrick Bennett, BBB Director of Community Relations. "However, before selecting your merchant processing service, it's imperative that you do your research to avoid putting your business and its success at risk."
BBB recommends the following tips to consider when selecting a merchant processing service:
Ask around. Like with any important business decision, always make sure to get at least three estimates and check the BBB Business Review® of the merchant processing service. It may also be worth asking other fellow business leaders what service they use to get a feel for its track record.
Know where to turn. Make sure the merchant processing service has a solid support team. Can you contact them 24 hours a day? This is very important to business owners who are trying to process a card outside of the typical business hours. In any case, technical support is a must and it's vital to your business' success to make sure that the merchant processing service you choose has it.
Try them out. Don't settle without a trial period. By making sure that the merchant processing service you choose has a 100 percent money-back guarantee before selecting them, you can save yourself a lifetime of hassle. See how the service tries out. Do they keep every promise that they made to you?
Make sure every penny you spend is necessary. If you have a question regarding a fee that you were charged, ask! Staying competitive with other merchant services is the name of the game for theses processors so they will want to keep you happy.

Have you guys heard of Influenster? It's a really cool community of women that are invited to test the latest products from brands we all love and then share their experiences. You don't have to be a blogger to sign-up, any one can qualify!
I received my first VoxBox from Influenster a few weeks ago and I was thrilled with what I found inside. The 'Love' box was filled with goodies to help me get ready for a well-needed date night with my hubby! How fun is that?
Over the past few weeks I've tested out all of these brand new products and I can't wait to share my experiences with all of you.
1. Gillette Venus & Olay Razor
I will be completely honest when it comes to spending money on razors, I am the type of person who buys a big bag of inexpensive disposable razors and it will last me about 6-12 months. It's generally not something I spend a lot of money on because I feel like the money could be spent elsewhere. So when I was really excited when I was given the opportunity to try the new Venus & Olay Razor to see if the extra few dollars were worth it.
I started by shaving one leg with my generic disposable razor and then used the Venus & Olay Razor on the other leg. All I can say is the second I started shaving I instantly thought, "Oh my gosh this is amazing!" The razor was so silky and smooth I kept checking to see if it had a plastic cover on it because I couldn't believe it was actually shaving my legs. The razor was ergonomically perfect in both my hand and on my skin. The blades moved really smoothly over my knee caps (an area I am still cautious about even after years of shaving), it just seemed to glide effortlessly. For the first time, shaving was actually fun.
For me, the real test came down to how my legs felt after I got out of the shower. Did one leg feel differently than the other? Did the Venus & Olay blade cut any closer to my skin? Even though the whole experience of shaving my legs with the Venus & Olay Razor was 100% better than using my generic disposable razor, both of my legs felt exactly the same once I got out of the shower.
My Concluding Thoughts: Loved it!
2. Kiss Nail Dress-Fashion That Sticks
The next product to help me get ready for my date night were these patterned nail fashions for tips and toes from Kiss Nail Dress. I'm not the type of person who would typically wear something this bold but I think these would be adorable on the right person. I think these would make a great 'dress-up' accessory for young girls or something fun to wear to a theme party.
My Concluding Thoughts: Not for me, But maybe for you!
3. Stash Tea Herbal Tea Sampler
Do you like to drink coffee or tea with your dessert? I allow myself one cup of coffee in the morning and then I drink tea at night. I've been a Stash Tea drinker for a long time so I was really excited when I saw this new Stash Tea Herbal Sampler in my VoxBox. The teas are full of flavor but aren't over powering, they are the perfect blend! My favorite flavors from this sampler were the Raspberry and the Pomegranate. If you are looking for new tea flavors, I highly recommend them!
My Concluding Thoughts: Must Buy!
4. Ghirardelli Gourmet Milk Creamy Devotion
There is no better way to top off a date night then with some decadent chocolate. Ghiraredelli chocolate already makes a regular appearance in our home so Ghirardelli's new Gourmet Milk Creamy Devotion was a welcomed surprise! Unfortunately due to my soy allergy I wasn't able to take part in the yumminess but based on how quickly my husband devoured this chocolate bar, you won't want to pass it up!
My Concluding Thoughts: Must Buy
5. Truvia Natural Sweetner
I first heard about Truvia a few years ago from a friend but never took the jump to purchasing it myself. For those of you who aren't familiar with it, Truvia is a natural sweetener made from part of the Stevia plant and is calorie free! Having the opportunity to integrate it into my daily life was just what I needed. I used the sweetener in my daily cup of coffee and I definitely noticed a difference. I'm a natural sweetener kind of girl (I normally use the brand with yellow packets) and I enjoyed the flavor Truvia brought to my coffee. It had a subtle flavor, it wasn't too sweet, but just enough to add something to my cup of jo.
My Concluding Thoughts: I enjoyed it
These were all fabulous products and I'm thankful I had the opportunity to try them out and share my experience with you!

When it comes to franchise talent in the NBA, there might be no more enticing player than the seven-footer.
A seven-footer is a player at any position, whether it be the center position or power forward position, that is 7'0" tall or taller. For the past 40 years, NBA franchises have been building their teams around these seven-footers, and while some situations have worked out better than others, I think it's undoubtedly time to rank the best seven-footers of all time.
This list will rank the best seven-footers in NBA history, based on criteria like personal accolades, career production, NBA titles won and the success of their respective teams.
Will your favorite seven-footer make the list? Read on to find out.
