Struggles In Steel: A Story of African-American Steelworkers | 86 min., 1996
When a local television station did a program about the closing of the major steel mills in the Pittsburgh region, Ray Henderson, a former mill worker who had worked in the mills for 18 years, couldn't help notice that not one black worker was shown.
This despite the fact that African-American workers had formed a critical part of the labor force in western Pennsylvania for 125 years. With his old friend and independent filmmaker Tony Buba, Henderson set out to collaborate on a history of African-Americans and their contributions not just to the steel industry, but to the labor movement itself. Through eloquent living witnesses and revelatory archival footage, Struggles In Steel presents a striking counterpoint to the stereotypical black male image.
Struggles In Steel premiered at the 1996 Sundance Film Festival and has played in major festivals in the United States and also screened at FESPACO in Burkina Faso in West Africa-the largest African film festival in the world. In addition, Struggles in Steel was awarded a 1999 Silver Baton Alfred I. duPont-Columbia University Award.
Raymond Henderson
Ray is a former steelworker who had 18 years of service in the Duquesne Steel Mill, outside of Pittsburgh, when the plant shut down. During his years in the mill, he was a grievance man, active in the civil rights movement and constantly working to establish equal rights for his co-workers. He began taking oral histories from African-American steelworkers in 1987. A long-time community activist, Henderson was Board President of the local NAACP chapter for 12 years. He is also on the board of the Braddock's Field Historical Society, worked as a child advocate in the schools, and as an outreach worker for Victims of Violent Crime.
Struggles in Steel Study Guide
The study guide is great for classroom use. It contains information about African-Americans in the steel mills, discussion questions relating to Struggles in Steel, and more!
Struggles In Steel is distributed by California Newsreel.
Featuring interviews with over 70 African-American workers, Struggles in Steel: A Story of African-American Steel Workers documents the shameful history of discrimination against black workers and one heroic campaign where they won equality on the job.
"An outstanding job-(Struggles in Steel) provides a vitally important historical foundation for the current debates about race and affirmative action." -Bruce Nelson, Dartmouth College
"Heartbreaking and enlightening---A shameful story about lives spent tolling in the mills and degradation that came with picking up a paycheck the hard way-A tale full of sound and fury." -Tony Norman, Pittsburgh Post-Gazette

PORT ST. LUCIE, Fla. -- Bobby Parnell was back on the mound today after the Mets held him out because of precaution Friday. Parnell had a quadriceps injury that was deemed minor and he threw a bullpen session today.
Collins decided that it was more important Parnell threw off the mound and held him out of pitchers' fielding practice so that he could continue to build up his arm strength but not risk further injury.
Elsewhere among relievers, Sandy Alderson said that Jacob DeGrom, who is a candidate for the fifth spot in the starting rotation, could be used out of the bullpen this season "at least on a temporary basis it's possible."
DeGrom is one of the young pitchers Collins is looking forward to seeing this spring, along with Rafael Montero (who he saw last year), Jack Leathersich, Erik Goeddel, and Steven Matz (who Collins has heard high reviews about.
Alderon said that Goeddel, a 24th round pick in 2010, is now likely to become a reliever after having spent his entire professional career as a starter. Goeddel had a 4.37 ERA in 25 starts at Double-A last season.
"I think that's the potential direction he'll take," Alderson said. "We gotta see. We think his velocity will tick up a little bit out of the pen. That may be his ultimate role. Again, we'll see over the course of the spring."

New Orleanians turned en masse into 7 year-olds today!
We were so excited to get snow in the city. Its all anyone can talk about. I've been very sentimental all day - the first time I visited New Orleans, almost 20 years ago, it snowed. That's when I knew my darling city and I would someday be ONE. It was soul mate love at first sight! Now I realize it also snowed the year before our Apocalypse but I'm disinclined to believe this is the possible bad omen one of my blogger comrades suggests.
I even collected enough to make snow ice cream, which I haven't had in ages!
In case you still have some CLEAN snow from earlier today, try this recipe:
Snow, milk, sugar, vanilla extract (I don't know proportions, just enough to make it slushy and tasty - use your judgment!). You can also add rum if you're nasty!
Mix and freeze for two hours.

Mike Phillips' indefinite suspension from Wales squad duties has ended.
The 28-year-old was banned 'with immediate effect' on 17 June following allegations of an incident involving the scrum-half in Cardiff city centre.
However, Phillips met Wales Rugby Union bosses today and apologised, leading to a statement from the WRU which confirmed he would be allowed to return to the squad and take part in World Cup training from tomorrow.
Phillips, who was not arrested and is not facing any criminal action in relation to the incident in Cardiff, said: 'This is the most embarrassing thing that has happened to me in my career.'
The Lions scrum-half, who sealed a move to French Top 14 club Bayonne from the Ospreys earlier this month, said: 'I am ashamed to have let myself get into this kind of situation and I am determined to put things right.
'As a player I'm really passionate and never back down. I know I can't allow that part of my character to come to the surface off the rugby pitch.
'I have realised I have an issue with the way in which I deal with, and have dealt with, the pressures of my current environment and have sought, and will continue to seek, help and advice in relation to that issue.
'I have formally and sincerely apologised to my team-mates and the coaching staff in the Welsh squad and would like to take this opportunity to do exactly the same to the Welsh rugby public and anyone else who has been offended by this or other episodes.
'I am a professional rugby player and I give the game my all, but there have been times I have let myself down as well as my family, the fans and my team-mates.
'The positive thing to come out of everything is that I now fully recognise that I need to deal with these pressures and I am taking every step to ensure that it is resolved.
'I deeply regret my behaviour, my exclusion from the squad took place in the glare of intense publicity and all I can hope for now is the privacy to concentrate totally on convincing the squad management I deserve to keep my place and the public's understanding and support for what I'm trying to do.
'I am a proud Welshman and I remain determined to devote myself to being the best rugby player I can possibly be to gain success for Wales in the World Cup and future tournaments.'
The WRU statement read: 'Mike Phillips met with the senior Wales squad management today, following his suspension on Friday, June 17.
'The player was informed his conduct in Cardiff city centre, earlier that week, had not adhered to the standards expected of a member of the Wales senior squad.
'Phillips accepted the view of the senior management team in full and gave an assurance that he understands the action taken to punish his behaviour and is taking active steps to ensure there is no repeat.
'The player addressed the Wales extended Rugby World Cup training squad players, explained his conduct and outlined his plans to ensure there is no repeat of the incident and apologised.
'Following the meetings and taking into account the duration of the 10-day suspension, Phillips will now be allowed to return to the squad and take part in pre-Rugby World Cup training from tomorrow, Tuesday, 28 June.
'The senior squad management panel he met at their headquarters in the WRU national centre of excellence, consisted of head coach Warren Gatland, assistant coach Rob Howley, and national squad manager Alan Phillips.'
Gatland said: 'Mike clearly breached the disciplinary code of conduct we have in place and was dealt with decisively and properly.
'We have taken into account all the relevant issues and Mike's apology in taking the decision to reinstate him in the extended RWC squad.
'An important factor in allowing Mike back into the squad was his decision to actively seek help to resolve his behavioural issues.'
WRU chief executive, Roger Lewis, added: 'It was very important for us to make it absolutely clear that Welsh rugby will not tolerate inappropriate behaviour.
'The message is now abundantly clear that we represent certain standards which will be maintained at all times both on and off the field of play. The Welsh rugby public expect it and deserve it.'
Most of the Wales squad are currently attending training sessions at the WRU national centre of excellence and Phillips will join them from tomorrow.

The science of bigger salmon
When regulators in Canada and abroad decide whether to allow genetically engineered salmon on the dinner plate, they'll be relying heavily on the research of a West Vancouver-based scientist. Robert Devlin has been conducting risk assessments of GE salmon since 1989 at Fisheries and Oceans Canada's Centre for Aquaculture and Environmental Research in West Vancouver , trying to answer the question of what would happen if the salmon were released into the wild. It's the only facility studying GE salmon anywhere in the world without commercial funds.

The three lawsuits filed in U.S. District Court in Birmingham are among a dozen filed nationwide against Power Balance LLC. One of the lawsuits filed in California also names Lamar Odom, of the Los Angeles Lakers, and Shaquille O'Neal, of the Boston Celtics, as defendants for their endorsement of the products.
The lawsuits against the product were first filed in December. That's when the company, according to the Alabama lawsuits, issued a statement in response to an Australian investigation that they had "no credible scientific evidence" supporting their claims about the wristbands and other products.
The company, however, says it stands by its products.
A spokesman for the company declined comment Monday on the lawsuits filed in Alabama due to the on-going legal proceedings.
In a statement on the company's website, Keith Kato, President of Power Balance, LLC, said: "Contrary to recent assertions in the Australian press, Power Balance has made no claims that our product does not perform. This is simply untrue."
According to the company's statement, "Millions of people around the globe are wearing Power Balance products and are thrilled with the results. Dozens of high profile professional athletes swear by the results they've experienced from wearing our products."
The three lawsuits filed in Alabama claim the products are marketed and advertised as improving balance, strength, flexibility, endurance and stamina.
The three lawsuits claim that independent scientific studies have proven the rubber wristbands are "no more effective at improving an athlete's performance than ordinary rubber jewelry."
One lawsuit was filed Jan. 26 by Ray Keller and Wade Sartin, both residents of Jackson County who each bought one or more of the wristbands. Keller bought his in Alabama and Sartin bought his over the Internet, according to their lawsuit. The other lawsuit was filed by Trent Davidson, of Tuscaloosa. The third lawsuit was filed Tuesday by Richard Bowlin, a Jefferson County resident.
"Defendant's false advertising campaign has been extraordinarily successful. Sales of the products have skyrocketed from $8,000 in 2007 (the first year the products were sold) to an estimated $35 million in 2010," according to the two lawsuits.
The three Alabama lawsuits seek class action status to represent others who have bought the products.

Famous Grandmaster Gyula Sax, several times national champion of Hungary and former Candidates Tournament player, died January 25, 2014 of an apparent heart attack. He was 62.
Sax also was on the winning Olympiad team of the fantastic upset by Hungary in 1978 in Buenos Aires. His team won first place, overcoming the Soviet dominance of the event.
Consider: save this one event, the USSR won 18 consecutive Olympiads from 1952-1990, not counting the boycotted tournament in 1976. Hungary's team gold was the only break in the streak. Sax went an undefeated +5 =7 -0 and won an individual bronze.
"In those days it was believed that there was no doubt that anyone other than the Soviets would win," said GM Susan Polgar. "It made our chess team very popular. They were called the 'Golden Team.'"
The team was led by GM Lajos Portisch. The next three boards of Zoltan Ribli, Sax and Andras Adorjan were all born within a year of each other and called "The Three Musketeers" according to Polgar.
While that remains Hungary's biggest team triumph ever, Sax's Olympiad teams had two other silver medals and only once finished outside the top six. He represented Hungary 10 times, most recently in 2000 when his team finished a respectable fourth. He outperformed his rating in all 10 Olympiad appearances.
Sax became an IM in 1972 and GM in 1974. His peak rating was 2610 and he often played and won tournaments in Canada. Sax also won the 1987 Interzonal in Subotica, Yugoslavia. He progressed to the match stage where he was beaten by GM Nigel Short.
"He was the first GM who treated me as a fellow chess player when I was nine years old," said Judit Polgar on her Facebook page. "He was ready to analyze positions with me, and shared ideas and by doing so gave me a lot of self-confidence."
GM Peter Leko, longtime Hungarian number one, had similar thoughts. They first met in 1992 in Wijk aan Zee. "When he had time, he would always come over to see my game and tell great stories," Leko said, despite the fact that Sax played in the top section while Leko did not. "It was a wonderful experience and a great first visit to Wijk aan Zee!"
The two were teammates during his final Olympiad. Sax was active up until his death, playing in a tournament in Hungary in November, 2013.
Here he played the quintessential King's Indian Defense plan - abandon the queenside and chuck everything at the white king.
"He was a fantastically energetic attacking player," Judit Polgar said.
"He always had very interesting games," Susan Polgar said. "That's another reason he was so well liked.
"It's a big loss for Hungarian chess. He's had many great successes in chess, but it's nothing compared to how he was as a person."
"It's a big loss for all of us and it definitely comes as a shock to the whole Hungarian chess community," Leko said.
Goodbye Gyula, you will be missed...
Nice tribute article !!! Grew up going over his games in Chess Life and Review! The Hungarian team was super super strong and it's no wonder that their tradition of great great chess has carried on to this day because of these great GM's with Sax being a huge part of that team. RIP GM Sax.
Wow, what a loss. Sax, you will be missed. For your great chess and personality, we thank you.
Sorry everyone - that's just that standard way that our news system works - photo of author with article. I'm very much alive. Added a photo to correct the confusion.
I agree with this:
The author's picture should be removed. Might be misunderstood as the one who passed away.
Mr. FM Mike Klein, we see your picture smiling and the title to the right announcing that somebody died, not nice.
thanks mr. sax a good grandmaster KID
Dear editors,
Please correct the names under the team photo. The players in order from left to right are as follows:
Laszlo Vadasz, Zoltan Ribli, Gyula Sax, Lajos Portisch, Istvan Csom (you did not even mention him....) and Andras Adorjan.
Best regards
RIP GM Sax. A great attacking and innovative player and it is a great loss to the chess world....
Great article Mike, and excellent choice to incorporate Judit's comments.
God is with us. Rest in peace.
Awesome article! Thanks Mike! He was a great player.... I told everyone I knew about his passing. I was a big fan of his chess, and it's nice to know more about him and his successes as a chess player, and a person.
Well....after reading the title ...the way it is written...i did think that he passed away........
RIP. Nyugodj békében!
Que descanse en paz en los brazos de Caissa. Serà extrañado.
Sax is the master of opposite side castling attacks. Rest in peace.
The author's picture should be removed. Might be misunderstood as the one who passed away.

We've also seen Donovan McNabb and his mom on the Campbell's Chunky Soup commercials. [If you haven't, get out from under your rock.]
Now McNabb and his mother, Wilma, will get a chance to go up against the Steelers' Jerome Bettis and his mother, Gladys, and all for a good cause.
The Chunky XL Tailgating Talents contest takes place tomorrow at 3:30 p.m. in Detroit. Fans will join their captains in four tailgating challenges, including the Auto-matic Unload, Spread Formation, First and Tent and Flag-tastic Finish.
In addition to the fun, Campbell's will donate a million cans of soup to soup kitchens across the U.S.
We'll see if we can track down the results on Wednesday.

Cingrani still in Cincinnati
LHP Tony Cingrani, who hasn't pitched since exiting his last start Sept. 10 vs. the Cubs when he had back spasms, did not rejoin the Reds in Pittsburgh like had been originally planned.
Cingrani has not shown much improvement.
"It's progressed but I didn't want it to get worse just to come here," Reds head trainer Paul Lessard said on Friday. "He's tried to go off a mound but it's still tender. That's why we didn't want to continue to keep going off a mound."
Cingrani also missed two starts on the disabled list in August because of a lower back strain. He will continue to rehab in Cincinnati.
"We didn't want him to take a puddle jumper [flight] out here just for him to hang out here and be here," Lessard said. "I'd rather him stay there and keep working on it."
The Reds will evaluate Cingrani again next week when the team is home. But to me, it's certainly not looking good for Cingrani's postseason status at this point.

Asset manager F&C has confirmed that Thames River chief executive Charlie Porter is set to step down next month, with Michael Warren replacing him.
Following the integration of Thames River and F&C, Warren will head up the group's retail investment division from 30 September 2012, while Porter will take on a non-executive role.
Warren was formerly investment director at Thames River and has worked in the asset management industry for 29 years.
The change comes as F&C revealed a drop in assets under management (AUM), revenue and profit in the six months to 30 June 2012.
The firm's AUM is down nearly 2 per cent at £98.2 billion since the start of the year, while revenue has fallen 12 per cent to £120.3 million and underlying pre tax profit is down 7.6 per cent at £21 million compared to the six months to 30 June 2011.
Edward Bramson, executive chairman of F&C put the AUM drop down to withdrawals from funds in Europe and 'strategic partner assets', as well as the declining euro to sterling exchange rate.
However, he claimed the cost-reduction programme put in place after a strategic review in 2010 was progressing well, leading to a significant drop in operating expenses and raising the firm's profit margin from 24 per cent to 26.7 per cent.
Bramson explained that 2012 was a transitional year for the firm, putting in place new business strategies and improving its capital position, and that he expected to report further progress at the end of the year.
Investors have reacted cautiously to the results and executive change and shares in F&C are currently trading down 2.22 per cent at 86.05 at 9.40am.

DOVER--It's never too early to start campaigning. Just days after the election, former reverend Daniel Martinez, a community leader in Dover, announced he has decided to challenge Mayor Jim Dodd next year.
"Dover is a very diverse town in many different ways," Martinez said. "The community itself is not integrating. There has been more divisiveness in the last two years. I believe the current administration has done nothing to mend, repair or bring the town together."
Martinez said he would like to create some kind of cultural enrichment committee.
"Something that would work with the historical society in Dover and could create festivals for different cultures," he said.
More than half of Dover's population is Hispanic.
Dodd dismissed Martinez's claims.
"I'm not sure what he's referring to," Dodd, a Democrat, said. "Our administration has done a phenomenal job over the course of the last four years. Dover has certainly become a better place."
Martinez, who will run as an Independent, declined to delve into specifics of his platform but said he would be spending the next few months holding public meetings in each of Dover's four wards to introduce himself.
He said he would like to return Dover to forefront of Morris County but was not ready to discuss exactly how he would accomplish that goal beyond his desire to bridge what he perceives as a gap between Dodd's administration and the community.
Martinez also claimed the mayor has a sour relationship with the town's merchants, a charge Dodd dismissed.
Last year, Dodd said, he spearheaded four new downtown zoning districts, part of a plan to revitalize the area around the train station.
"I take a lot of pride in the downtown business district," Dodd said.
Martinez, a former Methodist minister who now works for Jersey Battered Women's Service, previously clashed with Dodd in 2008 when the two differed over translating parts of the town's website into Spanish. Dodd eventually relented on that issue.
Both Dodd and Martinez said they plan to represent and work with members of the entire Dover community.
Dodd said he is ready and eager to run on what he believes are a list of accomplishments that have improved the town.
"We continue to be proactive in terms of property maintenance and quality of life issues," Dodd said. "We've really made Dover a better place."

More than 100 Islanders gather for provincial day of mourning in Charlottetown
© Guardian photo by Mitch MacDonald
Dorothy Comeau, of Yarmouth, N.S., lays a rose in memory of her late husband Ernest at the provincial day of mourning in Charlottetown Sunday.
More than a couple of tears were shed when Islanders gathered at Province House Sunday to pay their respects to workers who were killed or severely injured on the job.
The 12th annual provincial day of mourning saw more than a hundred individuals lay wreaths, roses, or simply pause for a moment of silence.
P.E.I. Federation of Labour vice president Craig Walsh, who was standing in for president Carl Pursey, said each year about a thousand Canadians are either killed on the job or die of work-related incidents.
"Many more suffered from debilitating injuries.... simply because of the lack of enforcement of health and safety laws and criminal code," Walsh said, adding that the federation recently formed a health and safety committee to look into health guideline enforcement.
He also called on government to take a more active role in cracking down on companies which neglect health and safety laws.
"While police investigate and lay charges in the majority of homicides, the same cannot be said for workplace fatalities," he said. "When an organization, company or person willfully neglects health and safety, knowing that someone could be injured or killed, they should be held criminally responsible."
The Government of Canada proclaimed the Workers Mourning Day Act in 1991, marking April 28 as the National Day of Mourning.
With Canada being the first country to do so, the day is now observed in about 80 countries around the world.
Dorothy Comeau was one of many who laid a rose at a memorial in front of the George Coles building Sunday.
The rose was in memory of Comeau's husband Ernest, who was the first worker who died while building the Confederation Bridge.
"It was 19 years ago," said Comeau, a Nova Scotia resident who makes the trip to Charlottetown on April 28 every year. "It's well worth the drive."
Janice Sherry, provincial minister of labour, said there is one to two workplace injuries every year on P.E.I. for every hundred full-time jobs.
Last year four Islanders died as a result of injuries or illnesses contracted in working conditions, said Sherry.
She pledged that workplace incidents are "not acceptable in this province."
"I know I, or any of us, can not fulfill the wish which would be to have your family member back," she said speaking to the crowd. "But I do hope that through raising awareness of workplace safety, working towards perfection and laying the wreaths out in memory of your loved ones, it may not bring them back but I hope you do find comfort in us all being here together."

I have the worst sense of smell, like ever. Friends mock me for holding food directly under my nose and taking a big whiff before scarfing it down. But don't feel sorry for me. A poor sense of smell comes in handy in many situations, particularly when travelling through SouthEast Asia. Things have to smell really rancid for me to register, which is why I was so perplexed by the horrible scent that followed me home on my recent journey.
I was retuning from a week sussing out Christmas markets and Old Masters in Amsterdam. It's pretty much all self-serve at Schiphol Airport, so I wasn't surprised when loading my suitcase onto the baggage belt to get a whiff of something most unpleasant. No biggie, lots of people around, what can you do?
After an uneventful KLM flight, I was one of the first to get my luggage off the carousel. What luck I thought, until I was assaulted again by another foul scent. Seriously, dude! There were so few of us around, I was aghast someone would pass gas in such a small setting. Whatever. I quickly wheeled away and crossed my fingers I wouldn't get questioned on the artistic license I used on my customs form. As usual, I escaped undetected.
As I trotted towards my shuttle bus, I put the recent unpleasantness out of my mind, taking in great gulps of air to clear my senses. My driver was an elderly, frail looking chap, so I insisted on hoisting my 24 kilo suitcase into the van. And then it happened again. Another silent, yet very deadly bomb. The driver was the only other person around, but he was old, and we all know how that lot isn't so discreet about their bodily functions. Still, I thought it was rude. No tip for him!
I wish I could say that was the end of my nightmare, but noooo! The fourth and final blow came while negotiating my suitcase out of the trunk. At that point I ditched my blondeness and whipped open the bag to see if a dead rodent had burrowed its way inside. There the culprit lay.
Behold, my impressive selection of fancy French cheese! I had completely forgotten about the bounty I procured at an outdoor market the day before. Let me tell you, it was no easy feat. First there was the haggling, then I had to sit through the judgment of my French colleagues as they pooh-poohed my Le Rustique Camembert, but proclaimed my choice of brie and chevre magnifique. Back at my hotel there was no mini-bar, so I had to rig a system whereby my goods (including charcuterie, a ready-to-eat M&S quiche, plus a caramelized onion and goats cheese tart) hung outside my window that opened but a smidgen.
Home safe and sound there was only quadruple bagging to be done, before hiding my crack in the crisper. Ever since I wedged Livarot (the oldest and stinkiest Normandy cheese) between the huz's suits on trip to France, he's not been a fan of my imports. (Sure, his suits reeked during his meetings, but I saved $25!)
Anyhoo, case closed. The moral of the story? Keep packing pungent cheese, but don't give the stink eye to others.
What products have you brought back that didn't travel well?

Judge named 2013 Catholic Elementary School Distinguished Graduate
St. Louise Catholic School in Bellevue announced today that the National Catholic Educational Association has named Snohomish County Judge Millie Dooris Judge the 2013 Catholic Elementary School Distinguished Graduate for outstanding personal and professional achievements.
"Throughout her life, Millie consistently has pursued the highest possible professional and personal standards. She is an example of how Catholic schools educate people to take leadership roles in their community and beyond," said current St. Louise principal Dan Fitzpatrick.
A firm believer in Catholic education, Judge continued her Catholic education at Bishop Blanchet High School in Seattle and earned a Bachelor of Arts at the University of Washington. Judge then earned a Juris Doctorate Degree from Pepperdine University School of Law. Judge lives with her family in Everett, where her two children both attend Catholic Schools.
Judge's legal and judicial experience has spanned 23 years, where the culmination of her experience resulted in her recent election to the Superior Court of Snohomish County. Prior to taking the bench, Millie served as an Administrative Law Judge for the Office of the Snohomish County Hearing Examiner. She previously served as assistant Chief Civil Deputy Prosecuting Attorney for Snohomish County and Law Clerk to Supreme Court Chief Justice Fred Dore.
Millie's work in community service is also impressive. She was elected Commissioner of the Snohomish County Fire District No. 1, elected Chair of the Washington State Bar Association Environmental and Land Use Law Section, and served both as a Youth Girls Basketball Coach and a board member of the Starlight Children's Foundation Board for over 10 years.
Judge credits much of her success to her Catholic education.
"I was fortunate enough to have 12 years of Catholic education," said Judge. "It grounded me in our faith, gave me a moral compass that continues to guide me today, and provided me with an excellent education and lasting friendships."

So this past I had kind of a can-do attitude about everything. The beginning of the week started out a bit slow, but I ate well and did my jumping jacks. By Thursday I was tracking my water, my fiber, my calories, and finding little ways to add workouts to my day. I did a few sessions on the wii fit, and some home exercises as well. It feels so great to finally start moving my butt. As soon as this rain gets the heck out of here I would like to start the Couch to 5K program. (Again...) I made all my goals, including the one about not going to Chick-fil-A! I'm extra proud of myself for consistently getting over 25g of fiber each day without supplements. I'm just trying to eat a very balanced diet, and it seems to be working.
For the Movement Challenge I completed 220 minutes! And all of that was just over the weekend. I think I need to spread that stuff out a little more, but yay anyway.
I've got a lot to talk about this week, so I'm going to jump right into my weight. Excuse my toenails, it's been a while since I've done them. They need a touch up.
Weekly Weigh-In:
Last week: 206lbs
This week: 204lbs
Lost 2lbs
Total lost with #mamavation: 8lbs
Woo! Every little bit closer I get to being out of the 200s makes me that much more happy.
Goals for the week:
-Keep up the water, about 100oz a day.
-Keep up the fiber, about 25g a day.
-4 sets of 50 jumping jacks each day.
-Start Couch to 5K, and do it for more than one day.
-Get on the Wii Fit at least 2 times in the week.
-Track my calories at least 6 out of 7 days.
If I follow these goals I hope to see another 2 pound loss. That would be awesome!
For the Move it & Lose it Challenge there are a few requirements. Two of them happen to be posting my measurements, and full body pics. Let me just say that I am not proud of either of these, and it is not easy for me to do this. But, part of changing my body is accepting it the way it is. Not accepting that I have to be this way forever, but accepting that I am this way now, and I need to do the right things to change it. Plus, I have to have some before pictures so my after pictures will look that much more great!
Bust: 44 3/4"
Arms: L: 15" R: 15 1/4"
Waist: 41"
Hips: 46"
Thighs: L: 25 1/2" R: 25 1/4"
And of course I have some shout outs to do.
Congrats to Marie for her post of the week. Loved all the nature pictures!
Congrats to @MMScarlett for commenter of the week. She wins a 20-minute session with the ever-inspiring Pete Cohen. Woo!
Thank you thank you thank you for choosing me for Sista of the Week this week. It is an amazing honor, and it was a nice little boost of self-esteem that I definitely put to good use. I love you guys, and really couldn't do any of this without you.
Have a great week ladies!

Still no official word from Democratic city Comptroller Bill Thompson about his possible 2009 bid for mayor.
"I'm still looking toward it," Thompson told us after being honored at the Staten Island Democratic Party's annual dinner last night in the Old Bermuda Inn, Rossville. "I'm not making any official announcements."
Thompson is one of several Democrats, including Rep. Anthony Weiner (D-Brooklyn/Queens), Bronx Borough President Adolfo Carrion and Brooklyn Borough President Marty Markowitz, who are thought to be teeing up mayoral runs.
"It's something I'm focused on, the mayoral," Thompson continued. "It's on the horizon. It's a little early to formally announce."
Last night's dinner was held in honor of the late North Shore Assemblyman John Lavelle, who was also the borough Democratic chairman.
Thompson said he'd spoken with Lavelle only a few days before the assemblyman was felled by a stroke, and that it was Lavelle who had suggested that the party honor Thompson.
"He was a great person and a good friend," Thompson told Democrats last night. "He understood why he was in Albany. He was always talking to me about his community and his constituents. That was the type of guy he was. It wasn't about him, it was about the people he represented."
Thompson closed by saying, "He was a great human being. I know I'll miss him."
Markowitz also made the scene at the Dem dinner last night.
"I'm looking after my people on Staten Island," he quipped to us on the way in the door. "Who's contributed the most to Staten Island? Brooklyn! I want to make sure Staten Island is treating my Brooklynites right."

By the Numbers: The Real Impacts of EPA's Clean Power Plan
NERA's new analysis projects that EPA's Clean Power Plan will cost consumers and businesses as much as $39 billion a year, far outpacing the costs of compliance for all EPA rules for power plants in 2010 ($7 billion) and the annual cost of the Mercury and Air Toxics Standards rule ($10 billion). The analysis also finds that additional coal retirements would total up to 47,000 megawatts or more of coal-based electricity, posing a major threat to electric reliability in many parts of the country.
Despite these significant impacts, EPA's illegal rule will have virtually no effect on climate change, reducing atmospheric CO2 concentration by less than one-half of a percent, lowering global average temperature by 2/100th of a degree, and reducing sea level rise by the thickness of two sheets of paper.

Gonfalon Cubs: What the FIP?
The Cubs pitching has been statistically extreme in some interesting ways.
First, let's look at FIP. FIP ("fielding independent pitching") attempts to capture a pitcher's performance, in a term similar to ERA, that does not depend on the fickle fate of balls hit in play. As a team, the Cubs have greatly outperformed their team FIP, posting a 3.13 team ERA (best in MLB), compared to 3.80 FIP (fourth in MLB). I believe the last time a team finished the season with a higher difference was 2002, ...Read More...

SABR 46 in Miami will always be remembered as the year we had "The Greatest Ballpark Experience of All-Time". We've had good seats before at SABR conventions, but this year we were 40 rows from the field, between home plate and the first base dugout. The Cardinals pounded the Marlins 11-6, so it wasn't much of a game, but Ichiro was just two hits from 3,000 yet as I write this a week later he's still just two hits away.

Lower Dauphin scored twice in the first half to post a 2-0 win over Palmyra in Mid-Penn Keystone Division field hockey on Monday night.
The Falcons (3-0-1, 2-0) opened the scoring in the first four minutes of the first half and increased their lead in the last three minutes of the half.
"If they can score in the first five minutes, that's because then [the opposition] needs two goals," Lower Dauphin head coach Linda Kreiser said.
Team speed was critical in both scoring plays.
The Falcons moved down the field quickly to set up the first goal. Devyn Barry dribbled into the scoring circle and forced Palmyra goalie Nicole Berger to come out of the goal mouth. Berger passed to Taylor Lister, who put a shot behind Berger with 3:36 into the game.
Lister set up the second goal with quick surge up the field on her own. Her initial shot was stopped by Berger, but Abby Julius recovered the rebound and put it back in with 2:25 left before halftime.
Video: Lower Dauphin's Taylor Lister talks about how team speed helped the Falcons to this win.
The Cougars were affected not just by the Falcons' speed, but how assertive they were with that quickness.
"We knew they were really fast," Palmyra head coach Kristi Costello said. "But their aggressiveness knocked us back a bit from our possession game."
Lower Dauphin's speed made a difference on defense in the second half. The Falcons did not allow a shot on goal after halftime, and only allowed one corner in the final two minutes.
"We knew we couldn't let them time to get the ball up to their forwards," Kreiser said.
Lindsay Cassell was in net for Lower Dauphin in the first half and stopped the only shot she faced. Analysa Scott came in for the second half but had no opportunities.
The victory continued a strong start for the Falcons, who have beaten Hempfield, Hershey and Palmyra less than two weeks into the season.
"A lot of people thought we were going to be a young team, which we are," Lister said. "But, we are showing them that we could beat whoever because we're a good, developing team."
Berger finished with 11 saves.
CD EAST 3, CARLISLE 1: Alyssa Rowland, Taylor Fackler and Alex Stambaugh scored goals for CD East, which jumped out a 2-0 halftime lead and outshot Carlisle 19-11.
CEDAR CLIFF 1, CHAMBERSBURG 0: Olivia Evans scored at 8:26 of the first half off a feed from Aliyah Graves Brown and Maura Jacobs stopped both shots she faced in the Colts' victory.
CUMBERLAND VALLEY 4, MIFFLIN COUNTY 0: Caitlin Rhoades had a pair of goals and Maddie Sauve had a goal and an assist for the Eagles, who put 16 shots on goal and blanked Mifflin County.
CENTRAL DAUPHIN 1, STATE COLLEGE 1: Aggie Sutherland scored and Halle Frisco made 14 saves for the Rams to salvage a tie on the road.
BOILING SPRINGS 2, GREENCASTLE-ANTRIM 0: Mary Spisak and Casie Hostetter scored goals and the Bubblers put 21 shots on goals in their shutout victory.
BIG SPRING 2, GETTYSBURG 0: Caytie Stevens and Lydia George scored and Jordan Yaukey stopped all three shots she faced as Big Spring blanked Gettysburg.
SUSQUENITA 1, NORTHERN 0: Vanessa Hoffman's first-half goal stood up, and Abby Ebersole made nine saves for Susquenita.
CONESTOGA VALLEY 5, CEDAR CREST 0: Tyneisha Murray scored a pair of goals and Kendra Blantz had a goal and an assist for the Buckskins, who held the Falcons to just two shots on goal.
TULPEHOCKEN 3, NORTHERN LEBANON 1: Annie Jay, Danielle Bressler and Alaze Merkey scored for Tulpehocken, which put 31 shots on goal against the Vikings.
GREENWOOD 2, SELINSGROVE 0: Hattie Kuhns and Kenzie Wirth scored goals, and Katie Osborne stopped all three shots she faces and Greenwood blanked the Seals.
ANNVILLE-CLEONA 7, LEBANON 0: Brooke Shyda scored four goals for the Little Dutchmen, who pelted 16 shots on goal and didn't allow the Cedars a single shot.

The partnership between Aga Khan University (AKU) and UCSF dates back to 2006, when AKU's family medicine program in Tanzania and the Aga Khan Health Services program in East Africa began working with Global Health Sciences to strengthen AKU's training and research program in family medicine based in Dar es Salaam. In 2009, a memorandum of understanding between AKU and UCSF was signed to advance their common goal of promoting equitable human advancement and social justice in the less privileged parts of the world.
In April 2011, His Highness the Aga Khan, the spiritual leader (Imam) of the Shia Imami Ismaili Muslims, visited UCSF to gain insight into the driving forces behind UCSF's excellence in research and education, and to deepen the partnership between UCSF and the Aga Khan Development Network. He was also awarded the UCSF Medal, the University's equivalent of an honorary degree.
GHS and campus partners are working to elaborate the UCSF-AKU partnership. Areas of initial collaboration include the development of an integrated primary health care model, residency training in Family and Community Medicine, and midwifery.

Experience with new technologies will be useful also in the field of information management—the acquisition, organization, storage, retrieval, and dissemination of information. Traditionally many aspects of information management—archival and records management, for instance—have been related to the practice of history. More recently, however, information management has become more specialized, and some areas of information management now require the skills of a computer specialist as well. Nevertheless, students of history are still important as archivists and can use their history education as a valuable supplement to courses in library science or database management.

I love seeing it all laid out in black and white. Or gray and blue, to be precise Thanks for the great visuals! I have to count calories too.
This is a great post. I have your same stats, and started just 6 lbs higher. But the biggest change was in my measurements when I lost some belly. Now at measurements of 36/29/36, I feel great. Not concerned about losing more weight as i like some curves and i like to eat and enjoy wine at times. And, I eat anywhere from1400 - 2200 calories per day, ususally at the higher end. I had to eat no more than 1500 pre primal just to maintain weight. Thanks for your post!!!
I love seeing it all laid out in black and white. Or gray and blue, to be precise Thanks for the great visuals! I have to count calories too.
Thank you for posting your success. After a long time on low carb, I switched to reading PB on new years (after holiday gluten) and started eating primal. After years of 1000 calories a day, I am really afraid when I total 1400 calories a day. I do walk or hike an hour a day but still can't shake the fear of the scale going up again after decades of dieting to get it down.
The more posts I read about the healing properties of primal, the more I want to trust the process.
I hear you on being afraid to increase calories. What is working for me right now (as usual, "right now" is always subject to change ) is having approx. 1200 calories a day for 4 or 5 days, and then upping the intake for a day or two to 2000, and then going back to 1200. I'm a short female so 1200 is a decent amount of calories for me. I up the intake every 4 or 5 days just to assure my metabolism that I'm not going into starvation mode, and of course to treat myself a bit. I lose 1.50-2 lbs a week this way right now and could lose more but honestly don't want to.....I think slow and steady wins the race. You're definitely approaching Primal the right way if you're willing to "trust the process". It's such a healing way of eating, and the weight loss will come when the time is right.
I think most Americans are just extremely sedentary and have really unhealthy metabolisms from years of abuse with high polyunsaturated fat diets low in fat soluble vitamins A/D/E/K/K2 and low in essential nutrients like copper, selenium, B-3 and magnesium. I think the PROPER metabolic rate is very high, but we beat ourselves up so long by eating nutrient-poor foods, toxic fats, lack of exercise, lack of sleep, lack of sun and we walk around in state of chronic inflammation and it just adds up and crushes us over the years. Not to mention - get this - older people tend to eat MORE than younger people, even though their metabolic rates decrease as we get older. The average 50 year old eats more than the average 35 year old. Isn't that awful?
Don't put your trust in anyone on this forum, including me. You are the key to your own success.
I've been experimenting with more fat, less fat, more carbs (50-75), more calories, less calories. It can be crazy making so I just want to let go of all that and focus on whether my plate is balanced primal healthful foods and whether I am really hungry when I eat.
LOVE the graph! so cool!!

My Journal
"I think the basic anti-aging diet is also the best diet for prevention and treatment of diabetes, scleroderma, and the various "connective tissue diseases." This would emphasize high protein, low unsaturated fats, low iron, and high antioxidant consumption, with a moderate or low starch consumption.
In practice, this means that a major part of the diet should be milk, cheese, eggs, shellfish, fruits and coconut oil, with vitamin E and salt as the safest supplements."
- Ray Peat
As far as my metabolic rate, I'm not sure the data shows it increasing. My rate of weight loss did slow over time as my caloric intake increased. I debated about trying to plot that correlation, but I'm not sure I see anything there that suggests I will find any surprises. But if you really disagree, I'm willing to hear the argument. I'm sure that my low nutrient density diet prior to March 2012 made it easy to over eat calorie-wise. I just don't see that anything magic in regard to weight loss happened as I transitioned to primal. My conclusion that grains are a big-ass calorie sucker that will make you starving actually happened prior to that. The fact that my body fat was approaching a more normal % in that time frame is another confounding variable, imo. I do think my reduction in chronic, whole body pain was probably due to primal foods though, also my unbelievable mood stabilization.
I had a standard blood panel done about 5 years ago and my thyroid measure (whatever that was) was in the normal range. Actually, everything was normalish. It was quite a bummer to discover I had no detectable excuse for being fat, lol. I am overdue for a physical and all the associated testing, so that's on the agenda.
Anyway, thanks for your thoughts.

After a shocking announcement in which the Giants have announced their parting ways with center and captain Shaun O'Hara, the Giants have already found their new potential center just one day later.
The Giants have signed former San Francisco 49er center/guard David Baas, according to ESPN.
The 6-foot-4, 330-pound Baas, 29, has only one year under his belt as a starting center for the 49ers. He has spent most of his career at the left and right guard positions.
While the money dealt has still not been released, the signing of a linemen was surely expected.
Besides the announcement of the release of O'Hara, the Giants have also made some bold decision to cut ties with guard Rich Seubert and left tackle Shawn Andrews later this week.
As expected the release of these players, and the signing of David Baas, was meant to create more cap room for their ability to re-sign key players like running back Ahmad Bradshaw, defensive end Mathias Kiwanuka, wide receiver Steve Smith and tight end Kevin Boss.

North Falmouth Vacation Packages
North Falmouth is a popular place to visit in Cape Cod as a large number of the area's star attractions are within easy driving distance. Two sights that should top every visitor's list is the fabulous Old Silver Beach and the ever-popular Wings Neck Lighthouse. If time permits, be sure to also visit the Falmouth Country Club and the National Marine Life Center.
If the sun is out, follow the locals and make the most of the nearby parks and reserves. Get in touch with nature at one of the local beaches, for example the Surf Drive Beach in Falmouth.
If you have a passion for sports, be sure to catch North Falmouth favorites, the Bourne Braves, take to the field at Doran Park, Bourne. On match days the area around the stadium becomes a sea of red, gold and white, as local baseball lovers join together to cheer on their beloved team.
To make the most of North Falmouth, think about booking your accommodation at one of the area's many accommodation options. Take your pick from the Inn on the Square, the Sea Crest Beach Hotel, or the Admiralty Inn & Suites.

The latest Gallup numbers are not good for the White House or congressional Democrats. The overnight tracking has Barack Obama's approval-disapproval rating at 41 percent-52 percent. Based on the Rahm Emanuel formulation that for every point below 50 percent, the Dems lose five House seats, it looks like the GOP will take the lower chamber. This bit from a Weekly Standard piece I did pretty much explains it:
James Pethokoukis
How U.S. stimulus is being exported
Interesting to see if any politicians pick up on this argument from former Morgan Stanley economist Andy Xie:
Forecasting the Bush tax cuts
Wall Street's conventional wisdom is that markets like political gridlock — but not if inaction means hitting a weak economy with a big tax hike. When Congress returns from vacation, it needs to deal with the expiring tax cuts signed by President George W. Bush. The Obama deficit panel, however, could limit any extension of them.
Black Wednesday and the 2010 midterms
I think we can officially declare Recovery Summer dead. Here is today's tale of the economic tape.
Here is IHS Global:
Once more on Blinder-Zandi and the Obama stimulus
Great piece by Lawrence Lindsey in The Weekly Standard on the stimulus bill and the recent Blinder-Zandi analysis of it:
Poll: Americans dubious of government forgiving mortgages
Superpollster Scott Rasmussen apparently noticed my recent column:
A new Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey finds that:
1. 58% oppose a proposal to have the federal government forgive a portion of the mortgage debt owned by troubled homeowners.
Soak the rich?
It worries me when I hear folks, mostly liberals, speak fondly of the 1950s economy and its 90 percent marginal tax rates. In this piece, James Surowiecki advocates soaking the super-rich:
Ezra Klein: Welcome to the Recovery
WaPo blogger Ezra Klein yet again comes rushing to the defense of the Obama administration by making the case that the economy is pretty much as good as can be expected given the nature of the financial meltdown and recession.
Can mortgage relief become a free-lunch stimulus?
And while we are on the topic of mortgages, I wrote this piece for Reuters Breakingviews yesterday:
Obama's August (Housing) Surprise, Part 2
The Treasury Department has officially denied it is planning the mother of all mortgage bailouts. And I have no reason to doubt Team Geithner. But of course that assumes that the whole idea was not being cooked up by the White House political team (Rahm and Ax) and not the good folks at Treasury. During the financial reform debate, banking lobbyists continually complained that Geither and Summers had been usurped by R&A in policymaking. And I have gotten zero pushback from the WH. Food for thought. More to come.

It will be a beautiful day. The sun will be shinning with blue skies and comfortable temperaturs. It will be a touch cooler than yesterday but still nice with highs near 70. Now, with clear skies, light wind and a dry air mass in place temperatures will fall off quickly once the sun goes down. By morning readings will dip into the 30s. In fact, the National Weather Service has issued a Frost Advisory for Franklin County and northern Berkshire County for late tonight and early tomorrow morning. Be sure to cover up or bring in the tender vegitation. If you're still hoping for some more summer-time weather you are in luck. By Wednesday afternoon we could be into the low and middle 80s.
Have a great morning!

The study, which was published this month in the Journal of the American Veterinary Medical Association, found that calls to the center's toll-free hotline (800-858-PEST) about dogs exposed to metaldehyde dropped from 200 calls in 2005 to 21 in 2011. The decrease is credited to stronger warnings on labels.
On the other hand, calls about the relatively new bait made of iron phosphate increased from the first call in 2005 to 69 in 2011. Though marketed as a safer alternative to metaldehyde, it can still lead to iron poisoning in children, pets and wildlife, said Dave Stone, the center's director and co-author of the study.
Problems involving iron phosphate baits have been less severe than those with metaldehyde baits. Unlike the latter, no dog deaths have been reported following contact with iron phosphate baits, but 56 cases included symptoms such as lethargy, vomiting and diarrhea.
The OSU Extension Service has more recommendations in its online guides "Using Home Remedies to Control Garden Pests" at and "Keep Pets Safe Around Pesticides."
The National Poison Prevention Center offers more information about iron phosphate baits, including fact sheets, a Q&A and a podcast with researchers.

Anthony T. DeIntinis, who lost his bid in the November election, received five votes from board members Thursday for
the vacant board seat, while Alison Cogan garnered three votes, said Colleen O'Dell, the secretary of the business administrator.
DeIntinis joins his running mate, Parsippany Police Capt. James Carifi, on the board. Carifi made waves earlier this month when he proposed kicking out students who do not live in the district at his first meeting as a board member.
Parsippany voters elected Carifi, Dr. Frank Calabria, who was the board president at the time, and Joanne Mancuso, a former board member, in November. But Mancuso later informed the board she would not accept a seat.
Frank Neglia, the former board vice president who lost his bid for reelection in November, initially sought the seat, but withdrew after discovering his running mate, Cogan, was also pursuing the position. Neglia urged the board to pick Cogan because she received more votes than either himself or DeIntinis in the November election.
According to the Morris County Clerk's Office, Carifi, Calabria and Mancuso received 8,251 votes; 7,336 votes; and 6,813 votes respectively in the November election while Cogan, Neglia and DeIntinis garnered 5,696 votes; 4,886 votes; and 4,787 votes.
"I did not vote for (DeIntinis) but not because I didn't think he or anybody else wouldn't be a good board member," Mancuso said. "I personally thought that Alison Cogan would be a better choice."
He later added, "I hope that in time (DeIntinis) will prove worthy of (the board's) choice. I look forward to working with now that he's a member of the board."

London recruitment levels 'to return to normal in 2013'
The London jobs market has been boosted by the news that many firms are expecting to start hiring staff as normal within the next six months.
After a period of recruiting only essential staff in the first half of 2012, things are starting to look up on the London recruitment scene, according to the latest CBI/KPMG London Business Survey of 168 companies in the capital.
It found that 61% of London companies will be hiring as normal in the coming six months - whereas just 16% of firms said the same back in July.
There is also a marked drop in the number of businesses reporting a recruitment freeze, from 51% to 31%.
And over the same period the proportion of companies making redundancies fell from 31% to 21%.
Despite the apparently increased optimism about jobs and recruitment in London, companies do still appear to be cautious about where the economy is heading.
The survey showed that 40% feel more optimistic about the prospects for the economy over the next six months, while 22% feel more pessimistic.
Difficulty in obtaining credit has been a well-publicised problem since the financial crisis hit and it appears this is still the case for a number of firms, as it came out of the survey as the fourth biggest concern for businesses in London over the next year.
Companies' top three concerns were revealed to be the impact of the eurozone crisis, the threat of another recession and the lack of a clear Government strategy to drive economic growth.
But companies in the capital remain positive about the city's competitiveness, with 92% rating London as a good or very good place to do business, up from 86% in July.
The impact of this year's Olympics was cited in the poll, with 92% of businesses saying the event will help to promote London on the global stage and a quarter saying they have derived direct benefits from the Games.
Businesses were not too downbeat about London transport either, expressing the belief in the survey that all modes of transport, with the exception of air travel, are improving.
