I'm ashamed. Here was I banging on about how to right the world and what I really should be doing is directing you to places and people like this: ~ .http://fromthehouseofedward.blogspot.com/2010/07/courage.html
I love everything about this site ~ the care, the love, the humanity, the beauty and of course the dogs........
I was knocked to shreds about the Songwriter's friend and his courage and am making a vow to try and follow in those steps and just try and be happy every day. There's so much pain and misery around and sometime we dwell too much on it, particularly in this week of all weeks ~ the memory of 9/11 still sears and the two of us here (and the dogs) watched a documentary the other night on the television and were inconsolable by the end. But what came out of it most of all was Courage, just as the writer in the House of Edward says ~ she just lives there ~ it's Edward's House~ facing the worst with Courage, that most neglected of virtues, is truly astonishing. How right is the Writer to say that we are inclined to overlook courage now and push it down the list under swagger and swank, And what the two of us here felt after watching that most terrible of tragedies of 9/11 unfolding was the sheer undaunted courage of everyone (not sure about the politicos who run as fast as they can to ground but that's Chain of Command I suppose.....) I've read extensively this week about the single acts of outstanding courage shown by everyone from those who brought down the plane rather than have it crash into (possibly) The White House, the firemen (wow) , those facing certain death, the so-called 'jumpers' (courage again. Think about it) ~ everyone who got stuck in and tried to help, tried to do the impossible but never gave up. The Mayor should have been President. He stayed out of his bunker and brought his people home.
So yes ~ time to retrench and reconsider. I wonder at those who lose their loved ones and find no hate in their hearts for the murderers. That's another form of the Greatest Courage ~ to find that compassion and not give in to the cancer of hatred and revenge. Tough, God knows, but time to take stock and try and learn ~
I'm talking me here ~ I'm not preaching. I'm just trying to re-establish my hope and bolster the little faith I found I had left. Now when I look into the eyes of the brave ~ the truly brave (whose bedfellow seems to be utter modesty and good humour) I feel duly chastened and I am determined to go back to where I was ~ trying to celebrate Life rather than tick away like some old clock in the stomash of a crocodile.
My beloved partner and I years ago invented a motto for ourselves, something to try and live up to ~
Compassion, Commitment, and Celebration. Today it means even more to me and my prayers are for those lost in mayhem and terror. Let's hope they are getting the Paradise they deserve ~ and so rather than just crying Why oh Why? maybe down here we can try and love our funny old world just that little bit more. I'm going to give it a go.
Love and Follow your bliss.

Tommy Hilfiger has signed on to sponsor the Golden Door International Film Festival, one of Jersey City's fastest growing annual events.
The fourth annual festival's founder Bill Sorvino, nephew of Paul and cousin of Mira, says the fashion industry giant and the fest bonded over a common cause.
"Not only is Tommy Hilfiger a fashion icon and captain of industry, but he and his wife, Dee Ocleppo, are on the board of directors of Autism Speaks. Autism awareness has become one of the important missions of the philanthropic arm of the Golden Door Film Festival and we know that this will help propel this mission forward and fast," said Sorvino in a statement.
Sorvino, who is also an actor, gave The Jersey Journal an idea last year of just how quickly the festival was making a name for itself.
"I met a filmmaker from New York, born and raised. He said, 'I'm so glad to see you; you have such a great film festival!' I was surprised he knew about it and he said, 'Everybody knows about Golden Door!'" said the Jersey City native.
Sorvino says the festival is catching the attention of the film industry.
"There are a lot of film festivals, but not a lot of good ones (and) many people have told me Golden Door is one of the best festivals, if not the best, that they have attended," he said.
The 2014 Golden Door International Film Festival will be held from Sept. 25 to 28 at various locations throughout Jersey City, with its opening night and awards ceremony at the Landmark Loew's Jersey Theatre. For more information, visit their website.

Golden Bolts: One Holo-plans: None Shop: Tornado Launcher (40000), Plasma Beasts (15000)
Objective: Explore Cobalia
Ratchet and Clank has crash landed on the gel capital of the galaxy, Cobalia. And, naturally, the onus is placed on their shoulders to find a way back to Kerwan. Simple enough, right? From the crash site, travel along path while fighting the squishy bugs and aliens.
The aliens with the big heads are really easy to kill; one swing with your wrench is all it takes to kill them. The creatures appearing as centipedes, however, require a bit more work. Use grenades on them or shoot your Combuster from afar. Soon, you'll reach a bridge split into two pieces. Use your Heli-pad and float over the gap, and just in case you fall into the gap, double jump up the wall and onto the road.
Walk past the room, through the tunnel, and break the boxes in the tunnel.
Stepping out of the second tunnel, you'll see three tall walls in the third tunnel. It's time to practice your wall jumping skills, so place Ratchet between the walls, and jump towards a wall. When you make contact with the wall, jump towards the opposite wall, repeating the sequence until you reach the top.
Finally, at the top, break the boxes for Nanotech and additional power-ups, then walk to the edge of the platform, where the game instructs you to glide over the deadly green water. Simply jump and hold the X button glide over the water and onto safe ground.
The water around the rocks is dangerous, an instant kill if you don't struggle and get out before it suffocates you to death. Hop from rock to rock to reach solid ground. From there, head inside the tunnel where you'll have to perform more wall-jumping action.
Landing safely on an island, you must make your way across the green waters to the tunnel up ahead.
Once you've reached up top, grab the Jackpot power-up, an item that temporarily increases your rate of return on bolts and Raritanium, and smash the boxes around the room.
Objective: Defeat the Leviathan
The Leviathan may look mean, but it's more bark than bite. Strap on the Combuster and lock-on the beast while strafing to the sides in order to avoid its charges. Keep firing, strafing, and when you run out of ammo, look for the crates scattered throughout the area to replenish your supplies.
Cobalia Spaceport
Objective: Explore the Spacesport
Gelatonium Pumps
Objective: Restore the Gelatonium Pumps
Inside the Pumps, bring out your Gelanator and fill it at the gel station, which opens the large door into the station. The Pumps can only be accessed if the Gelanator is full, otherwise the doors will shut, forcing you to exit the station.
The Gelanator shoots a bouncy green cubes that allow Ratchet to spring high into the air. The obvious application is to jump over things, like a big wall or a pool of deadly liquid, but it can also encase enemies inside the green cubes. Soon after opening the doors to the Gelatonium Pumps, Ratchet is faced with his first obstacle: two giant walls with green arrows at its base. Plant a gel cube on the ground before jumping on it to land at the top.
A gel cube on the floor exponentially increases your jumping abilities.
When faced with not a vertical but a horizontal challenge, Ratchet must place gel cubes across the pool in order to cross to the other side. Two cubes placed after each other are more than enough to reach the other side.
After crossing the pool of gel, you're faced with a decision: turn to the left for treasure (optional), or proceed straight ahead to go further into the station (compulsory).
Left Path
To the left: Hop over the tall wall using not one, or two, but three gel squares. Stack three gel squares on each other, then jump!Up on high ground, look for two half-circular ledges that you'll use to reach the adjacent platform with a stack of explosives and crates.
Follow the path to the end, where you'll find two treasure chests full of Raritanium. Finally, return down to the ground and take the other path.
The point on the map represents the location of the two treasure chests.
To advance deeper in the Factory
Straight ahead: Place three gel cubes on the ground and use them to jump over the wall. Now, you'll be in a room full of little bug-eyed creatures and a door that refuses to open…unless you find the key or, in this case, the wrench turnstile. Find the magnetic ramp on the side of the gel container by the door, and walk it up to reach the circular turnstile. There, place your wrench in the middle and turn the device until the door opens.
Through the closed door is another platform challenge, a test consisting of moving water and gel cubes. The cubes will float with the current, so shoot the cubes by the corner of the wall, giving you enough time to jump from the cube to the raised platform. If the wall is too tall, drop two or three cubes on each other.
Past the green river and the tall walls is another room sealed from the inside. To unlock the door, find the turnstile on the ground and turn it completely, triggering the other half of the magnetic ramp to come around the gel container, which coalesce the two ramps into one. Walk up the ramp to the top of the container, where you'll see another wrench turnstile. Turn it to open the door.
The turnstile unites the ramps together, while the turnstile on top the gel container opens the door.
Empty the Gelanator at the gel station in order to exit the station.
Golden Bolt
Riding down the elevator in the Gelatonium Pumps, you may have caught a cursory look of a Golden Bolt on the balcony. "How do I get there?" you may ask. Look for a small ramp by your plane, and follow it through a series of platforming tasks, like jumping on revolving platforms. Reach the end and you'll see the Golden Bolt surrounded by explosive boxes and crates.

• EMU murder trial jury deadlocks, judge declares mistrial.
• Another juror speaks out: He was guilty.
• Video of second juror explaining why she voted to convict.
• Experts say jurors' decisions influenced by many factors
• Full coverage of the EMU slaying trial.
One of two black jurors on the Orange Taylor III case said he voted to convict, but after the jury deadlocked, there was disappointment they couldn't bring closure to the case.
But, he said, "the process worked."
Jeffrey Inge, of Ypsilanti, said race wasn't an issue to the jury, and it took him until the third day of deliberations to "put everything together."
Inge said he was sure Taylor was guilty of larceny and home invasion, and eventually concluded there was some type of murder involved.
"Could I ever walk away thinking he was not guilty?" Inge asked. "I don't think so."
But Inge said he could see the point of view of the two jurors who deadlocked the deliberations.
"When we went into trial ... we wanted to get to the point where we could bring closure to this whole thing," Inge said. "We felt that was our duty. ... It (deadlock) left us disappointed that we couldn't get to a decision. ... If the two people couldn't find this person guilty, that's fine. We didn't beat them over the head. ...We told the judge we did the best we could.
"In this case, the justice system did work," Inge said, adding the jury was "a very good group of people."
Inge said he voted to convict after hearing testimony on the crime scene and listening to the testimony of witnesses and their cross examinations.
"I was sure there was something wrong with that picture," he said.
But Inge said the case was not open-and-shut.
"We did not having a smoking gun," Inge said. "We didn't have an eye witness."
Inge said he walked into a high-profile case without knowing anything about the details. Before the trial, he had heard someone had died on campus, but didn't know anything about Orange Taylor III or the victim, Laura Dickinson.
Inge said he didn't know EMU President John Fallon had been fired in the fallout EMU's handling of information in the case. He learned that when another juror mentioned it.

All-grain mash conversion test

Posted on Tuesday, July 06, 2004 - 11:20 pm:
i, I'm new into all-grain.
The main reason is because I live in M�xico and it's being rather expensive to buy malt extract from the US so I had bought two big bags (50kg) of American 2-row malt bought from the same company that makes Corona and stuff like that. (I also bought some Caramel malt from the same factory)
(One nice thing to share is that I bought a tortilla mill from a local market. Not like the corona mill but it is a two roller mill like the one you use to make pasta. It worked great because I can adjust the gap.)
I had made some lower scale mashes to try the process and until now I have made some starters from it and apparently they are ok but I still have the doubt about conversion
I started measuring with ph paper but I don't know exactly what to expect. what ph should the initial liquor should be, what ph should the mash should be between and if the ph can tell me if the conversion have finished or should I have to do some other tests.
For the mini mashes I have done before I have waited for one hour at the exact temperature that I aimed for (150F) and started the run off at one hour from the beginning but I'm not sure if the conversion had ended.
Any suggestion?

Carlos, I learned in school an experiment in science class, that we used Iodine to test for starch. When starch is present in solution, Iodine will turn the solution (or sample) black, when it is not present it will stay the same color Brownish redish color. So I suggest get some Iodine or Iodophor (used for sanitizing brewing equiptment) and when you mash after your conversion time take a sample put it on a dish or a plate and put a drop or two of Iodine on it to see if it turns black or not,if it turns black its not converted yet,if it stays the same color your good to go. I hope this helps you. By the way using ph paper is to check the ph of the mash usually 5.1-5.5 is a good range for most styles. I know not to drink the water in Mexico but the beer is OK so they say. BREW ON Pete

Inexpensive pH papers are difficult to read and in my experience not worth using. The better quality plastic coated strips, however, are quite accurate. However, in the great majority of cases the mash pH falls into the correct range (actually 5.2-5.6) on its own and measurement is unnecessary. The exceptions might be light colored beers with hard water and dark beers with soft water. I don't know where you are located in Mexico, Carlos, so I certainly can't comment on your brewing water.
The iodine test for starch conversion is similarly accurate. It helps to conduct the test on a bright white surface such as a china plate. Also test only the mash liquid; the grain husks will almost always turn black and confuse the readings.
Again you will find that after a few mashes you know how long it takes to convert, so that the test becomes unnecessary. If the mash temperature and pH are correct, 60 minutes is almost always more than enough time. The truth is that most conversion takes place in 10-15 minutes, although the ratio of fermentable to unfermentable sugars is not ideal after such a short time.

Carlos, I see from another post that you live in Monterrey. I would suspect your water to be somewhat hard; you might need to adjust the mash pH (or use a portion of RO-filtered water) for lighter colored beers.
There are some good beers brewed in Monterrey, both by large and small craft breweries.

Hey Carlos,
I don't think iodine tests and conversion are things to worry about really. In my experience, your mash will convert and will convert within 60 minutes, so long as it is in the right temperature range. I've long since stopped even checking the pH as it was always in the right area. If doing a lighter beer, add a tsp of caso4 or cacl to the mash and it'll be fine. I wouldn't bother checking pH, except out of curiosity perhaps, or doing iodine tests. They aren't necessary, every mash converts.

When your spoon and fingers start getting sticky you know you've got conversion. Works pretty good except for low gravity brews. Use the iodine until you feel confortable with it.

Thanks to all for your help!
yes, we have the Cuauhtemoc/Moctezuma brewery where beers like Dos Equis, Bohemia, Indio and Noche Buena are brewed.
There is also a small brewery called Especialidads Cerveceras (something like Beer especialities). Thew brew Casta. IMHO they do the only local beers that are real real good here. They brew:
Casta Morena - Dark Ale,
Casta Bruna - Pale Ale,
Casta Dorada - Blonde Ale and
Casta Triguera - Heffeweisen
There are also 4 brew pubs called "Sierra Madre Brewing Company" but only 2 of them brew beers, the other two only have the bright tanks. They started brewing great beers but because of the local taste thay had started downgrading their brews and I have found them not like they were before. They are thinner than before and they all smell the same... They do have a great Christmas special and a Porter that used to be better but it is still the only porter you can have here in Monterrey.
Other than that I don't know anyone else homebrewing or seting up brewpubs. I really hope people start doing this so we can share experiences and yeast soon. I hope this place can help me to find someone else in my city.
Thanks to all!

UPDATE: INDIANAPOLIS (Indiana's NewsCenter) - Being host city to the Super Bowl has plenty of perks, but it also has a dark side. Each year, organized crime groups bring children to the Super Bowl's host city with one very sinister goal - prostitution.
Catering to out of town guests, hotels have historically been hot spots for child trafficking and underage prostitution. However, on Monday Governor Daniels signed into law a new measure that sends the message, "Don't try it here."
The law closes loopholes in current legislation and increases the penalties for would-be child traffickers. People who bring children under the age of 16 into Indiana with intentions of prostitution will now face a Class B Felony and up to 20 years in prison. People who sell or transfer custody of underage children for prostitution will face a Class B Felony and 20 to 50 years in prison.
Rep. Greg Steurerwald, the bill's House sponsor, says, "Hopefully it's a deterrent and hopefully we won't even have to use this bill. We want to make sure everybody understands that we have Hoosier hospitality, and if you come here we want you to enjoy the city and the state. But if you are coming here for illegal purposes, we want you to understand there are going to be severe consequences."
Local hotels are also taking part in SOAP, or Save Our Adolescents from Prostitution. Bars of soap with the phone number of the National Human Trafficking Hotline written on the wrapper are being placed in guest rooms.
Advocacy groups and the Department of Homeland Security are also continuing to warn people - if you see something, say something.
INDIANAPOLIS (Indiana's NewsCenter) – By a unanimous 93- 0 the Indiana General Assembly sent a bill to Governor Mitch Daniels' Desk, strengthening Indiana's laws against human trafficking.
Senate Bill 4 is part of a nationwide effort to crack down on trafficking through legislation, public awareness and deterring demand.
This is the first bill of the session and is an important step for Indiana as the state capital will soon play host to Super Bowl 46.
The bill would more effectively define the crime of "promotion of human trafficking of a minor" so that prosecutors could bring charges against traffickers even if no force was used, and for situations involving prostitution and involuntary servitude by minors.
It also broadens the penalty for certain types of human trafficking so the potential sentence is increased from a Class B felony (punishable by six to 20 years) up to a Class A felony (punishable by 20 to 50 years in prison).
The bill takes effect immediately upon the Governor's signature.

At this gleaming new West Shore establishment, the valet will return your car with windows washed and hand you a mint.
It's not a glitzy new restaurant or hotel. It's the new PinnacleHealth hospital scheduled to begin taking patients on May 19. A ribbon cutting is set for May 14.
The $120 million, 108-bed hospital is located on Technology Parkway in Hampden Township next to PinnacleHealth's Fredricksen Outpatient Center.
It's a full-service hospital featuring an emergency room, intensive care unit and operating rooms capable of providing a broad range of heart surgeries and general surgeries such as joint replacement.
Touches such as window-washing and thank-you packages reflect PinnacleHealth's aim of appealing to patients attracted to features such as private rooms and other amenities that make a hospital say more comfortable than was the norm in older, institutional-style hospital buildings with double rooms and shared bathrooms. More and more patients want and expect more privacy and other new comforts, PinnacleHealth officials have said.
The new hospital, called West Shore Hospital, is less than 10 miles from Holy Spirit Hospital, and is the region's first new hospital that didn't replace an existing one in decades.
It's located just off the Wertzville Road exit of Interstate 81 and would seem to offer a convenient option for residents of Perry County and many in Cumberland and Dauphin counties. As a result, it is likely to alter the market shares of the three hospitals that draw the bulk of patients from Cumberland and Perry.
Some have questioned the need for a new hospital, given that Holy Spirit and Carlisle Regional in South Middleton Township have emergency rooms and beds to spare, and because of new technology and policy trends aimed at shortening hospital stays or keeping people out of the hospital altogether. They have noted that the cost of new services, even if they amount to duplication, get shifted back to local businesses and individuals in the form of higher health insurance premiums.
But PinnacleHealth officials have said the Cumberland-Perry area has a growing population of older residents whose medical needs will grow, and the new hospital is needed to meet the demand. Moreover, they have said many of their patients come from Cumberland and Perry and want a more convenient option than driving into downtown Harrisburg. And the additional beds on the West Shore have freed PinnacleHealth to create more private rooms at Harrisburg Hospital.
PinnacleHealth has also stated a goal of having a PinnacleHealth doctor within ten minutes of everyone in its service area, PinnacleHealth specialty services within 20 minutes, and a PinnacleHealth hospital within 30 minutes. PinnacleHealth is building a cancer center on the same campus as the new hospital. It has said such a network will ensure patients get the right care at the right time and, over time, will improve the region's health and lower its health care bill.
With the Harrisburg-based health system having added many medical practices and other services throughout the region in recent years, the new hospital goes far toward accomplishing that goal.
It's all happening against the backdrop of a transformation of hospital systems: they are vying to supply the full range of medical services, and manage the health of "populations" of patients, instead of simply caring for people when they are sick.
The bigger systems will be best-positioned for success and industry observers have noted that PinnacleHealth West Shore Hospital is well-positioned to channel patients into PinnacleHealth's full offering of services.

Monster Beverage fizzled nearly 5% Monday to $64.74 after a Morgan Stanley analyst's warning of slower sales for the energy drink marketer scared off investors.
Monster, which has 33% of the U.S. energy drink market, posted a 49% jump in year-over-year earnings for its first fiscal quarter on a 11% rise in revenue, mostly on higher energy drink sales in Europe, South America and Japan.
But in a research report, Morgan Stanley's Dara Mohsenian cited slowing U.S. second-quarter growth of several Monster Beverage brands. Mohsenian cut his rating on Monster and lowered his price target to $75 from $82.'
Mohsenisan says Monster's Rehab, Absolute Zero and Lo-Carb brand sales are down significantly, a trend he says is likely to continue.
"We no longer see upside to consensus estimates, given recent weaker-than-expected U.S. sales," Mohsenisan said in a Monday research report.
Year-to-date, overall energy drinks sales growth has dropped to 1% from 4% a year ago.
Most stock analysts remain bullish on Monster. Among 17 covering the company, 13 have buy recommendations, with an average 12-month price target of $79.
Monster remains under Food & Drug Administration investigation over its high caffeine content beverages. It also faces a wrongful death lawsuit in Oklahoma tied to the 2011 death Oklahoma teen Jason Hamric.
In a statement, the company said Monday that there is "no credible evidence" that Hamric consumed one of its beverages the day he died of cardiac arrest.

News Release
For Release: April 9, 2009
BLM Cautions Public Regarding Border Violence
The international border with Mexico is becoming of increasing concern to the U.S. Government due to an increase in dangerous illegal activities and an escalating trend in border violence.
In the Imperial Sand Dunes Recreation Area located in Imperial County, the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) El Centro Field Office has initiated numerous public outreach safety initiatives in partnership with the Border Patrol which includes flyers, signage, and making public contacts.
Visitors to BLM public lands along the California-Mexico border need to be aware of activities around them. If you see anything that looks illegal, suspicious or out of place, please do not intervene. Note your location and call 911, or report it to the nearest law enforcement authority.

Columbus -- Brunswick senior Richie Spicel could be the "hippiest" kid in Division I at the 71st State Wrestling Tournament -- and that's good thing in this sport.
The 140-pound Spicel was dominant in his opening-round match Thursday at Ohio State's Value City Arena, as were the 23-time state team champion St. Edward wrestlers, who won nine of 11 matches to grab the team lead with 25½ points. Massillon Perry was second with 17 points and Elyria sixth with 9½.
Spicel is attempting to become the third wrestler in state history to win state titles as a freshman and senior. Ricky Deubel of Kenston and Pat McLemore of Padua are the other two. He got off to a good start Thursday by catching Gahanna Lincoln senior Andrew Evans on his back following a reversal for a fall in 1:50.
Sure, Spicel has semi-long hair and could pass for being a poor man's hippy, but he's really "hippiest" because of excellent hip movement -- something many of the great past state and NCAA champs possess. His hip movement makes it difficult for opponents to take him down or ride him on the mat.
After severely spraining his ankle the day before the sectional tournament as a sophomore, Spicel reached the state finals last year before losing to a wrestler with equally great hip movement -- three-time state champ Tony Jameson of Austintown Fitch by an 8-4 margin.
Jameson, now at 145 pounds, barely survived his first-round match against Bowling Green senior Rudy Hendon, who had him on his back three times. Jameson won, 23-20, the highest scoring match at state in the last 40 years.
"I don't look beyond the next match I have anymore," Spicel said. "It's dangerous to overlook anybody down here. Big names can always get beat, and look what almost happened to Jameson. A kid like him you have to beat with basic wrestling, and keep his hips to the mat. I know last year in the state finals he took away one of my biggest weapons .¤.¤. my fireman's carry takedown.
"What do I think of winning at state as a freshman and senior? I'd rather have won four times, but opening big and closing big will be fine with me. But I hate having someone else standing above me on that podium."
Brunswick coach Mike Koshar said Spicel, a four-time state qualifier, is easy to coach.
"All he really needs is encouragement," Koshar said. "He has his goals set. [Thursday] he was still a little jittery, which I was surprised -- maybe because he watched Jameson wrestle before his match -- but I like the fact he pinned his kid."
The best first-round matchup was the last Division I bout wrestled -- between juniors Jeremy Johnson of Brecksville and James Meder of Valley Forge, both returning state qualifiers. Johnson was the Massillon Perry district champ, and Meder, a Walsh Jesuit Ironman runner-up, was fourth at the Marion Harding district.
Meder won in overtime, 7-2, breaking a 2-2 tie with a reversal and near fall. Meder has been less than healthy since his sterling Ironman performance.
"Right after the Ironman, I got sick for a month -- a 90-day cough according to my doctor," Meder said. "I also had a fever on and off for three weeks, and missed four weeks before I finally wrestled again in the Northeast Ohio Conference.
"Then, I hurt my left ankle at the sectionals. I'm mentally battling through all this. I was tired in my match with Johnson, but you have to wrestle through it."
St. Edward rolled up big first-round points with pins from sophomore Gus Sako (103), junior Collin Palmer (135) and senior Brian Roddy (171), and a technical fall from sophomore Jamie Clark (112).
St. Edward dominates Division I to take team lead
Columbus -- Brunswick senior Richie Spicel could be the "hippiest" kid in Division I at the 71st State Wrestling Tournament -- and that's good thing in this sport.

Local finds success with delectable vegan desserts online
December 13, 2012
Asking Allison Rivers Samson to choose a favorite sweet among her desserts is like asking her to pick a favorite child.
Rivers Samson is the owner of Allison's Gourmet, an award-winning online vegan dessert company based in Nevada City that distributes cookies, chocolates and more to people's doorsteps all over the country.
"Every single product of mine is derived from a personal craving," Rivers Samson said who started her business 15 years ago when she made the leap from a vegetarian diet to a vegan one.
A vegan (pronounced VEE-gun) is someone who chooses to avoid using or consuming animal products, according to http://www.vegan.org.
At the time vegan offerings were limited to a handful of dry, bland and tasteless prepared foods and a scant number of cookbooks.
So the trained personal chef started experimenting in her own kitchen to come up with healthy plant-based alternatives to old favorites.
She launched her business with a line of cookies that tasted as good as homemade then set out to create the perfect brownie.
"It took me four years to get it the way I wanted to," Rivers Samson said of the brownies made without eggs or butter in the face of skeptics who told her it couldn't be done.
Today, Allison's Gourmet has developed into a full-line of treats that can satisfy the most discriminating sweet tooth.
Beyond baked goods, there is fudge, caramel, toffee, brittle, peanut butter cups, peppermint patties, chocolate covered caramels and truffles. Coffee and tea baskets are also available.
Everything is made using organic, fair trade, vegan and whole food ingredients. All the baked goods are made with oat flour, making Allison's Gourmet a completely wheat-free company.
"It's important to me that our ingredients are pure. I'm a perfectionist," Rivers Samson said.
Rivers Samson likes the challenge of taking a favorite recipe and adapting it to fit a vegan diet.
Equipped with her understanding of flavors, textures and how ingredients like eggs and dairy products function in a recipe, she studies and recreates.
"It's kind of like breaking down a language and translating it … "It's more of an alchemy rather than a direct substitution. In that sense it's more of an art as well," Rivers Samson said.
Elegantly packaged, the highly sought after baked goods and candies are comparable to something you might find in an upscale confection boutique.
In 1997, when Rivers Samson became vegan, the term hadn't yet reached mainstream.
Today, a shift has occurred putting vegan cuisine all the rage among chefs and popular culture. Now a household word, former president Bill Clinton is leaning toward a vegan diet while other stars such as Alicia Silverstone, Joaquin Phoenix and Ellen DeGeneres are making the lifestyle chic.
The customer base of Allison's Gourmet is a mix of health conscious vegans on a budget to celebrities as varied and notable as Paul McCartney and Paula Anderson.
"Some don't even realize we're a vegan company, they just love our products," Rivers Samson said.
People adopt a vegan diet for a variety of reasons including health, concerns for the planet and the welfare of farm animals.
In a July 2012 Gallup poll, 2 percent of the population responded that they were vegan, amounting to about 6 million people in the U.S.
Samson's path on an all plant-based diet began for health reasons when she witnessed family members around her suffering from what she calls "diseases of the fork." In 2006, her obese mother died at 59 of heart disease when Rivers Samson was 20 weeks pregnant.
Over the years, Rivers Samson's vegan choice has come with an added bonus – her deepened compassion for animals. She works with many animal organizations, including Animal Place, a farm animal sanctuary located on McCourtney Road.
She and her daughter Olivia, now 6 and also vegan, make a point of visiting their friends, including a pig named, "Ruby" at the farm regularly.
"It's kind of like going to church for me, being able to connect with the animals and nature," Rivers Samson said.
With December here, holiday orders are in full swing and staff at Allison's Gourmet are working at a frenzied pace. Though her business grows every year, Rivers Samson makes an effort to keep it small enough where everything is still made by hand. She says she is grateful to work with a team of local women "who each excel and are perfectionists in their areas of our efficiently run business."
Though she doesn't sell her products on any local store's shelves, she is happy to meet local customers at the Nevada City post office for pick up, as late as noon on Christmas Eve.
In readers' polls for VegNews magazine, Allison's Gourmet has won awards for "favorite brownie" and "favorite online baking company."
Rivers Samson is a regular contributor to the magazine and in her column, "Veganize It," she offers up recipes for vegan versions of everyday traditional meals. Comfort foods like macaroni and cheese and tuna sandwiches get revamped with Rivers Samson's knack for vegan alchemy in the kitchen.
"To me there is every reason to be vegan. The food is delectable and fulfilling. There is no such thing as deprivation in my vegan diet," she said.

I would love to join you for what is sure to be a great time! But I am ticking something off my bucket list and participating in The Stampede on the day (climbing ropes, crawling through mud, etc on a 5k obstacle course!) Enjoy!!
Sounds like fun! I've got an appointment at 10:00am, but could be there around 11:00am if you're still planning to be there?
Would have loved to have come and met you and Kenny and other food bloggers but I will be eating my way around Auckland that weekend.
Look forward to attending, sound like fun and a great opportunity to meet some more like minded folks.
Hopefully the weather will be favourable on the day : )
Hi Kenny,
We'll definitely be there, looking forward to it.
Hopefully we'll see you the previous weekend at the North Melbourne Spring Fling!
I hear there are going to be some pretty amazing Thai Boat Noodles on sale…
Disappointed, I will be away that weekend, never mind, I hope it goes well for you.

Heading northeast from Ibiza Town, it's 15km to SANTA EULÀRIA DES RIU, a pleasant town with a plush marina but few obvious sights. Though it does boast an attractive church – a fortified whitewashed sixteenth-century construction perched on a hilltop to the west of the town centre, SANT CARLES, 7km to the north, is an agreeable one-horse village.
East of Sant Carles the road passes through burnt-red fields of olive, almond and carob trees to several almost untouched beaches. Cala Llenya, a broad sandy cove with sparkling waters, is the nearest, and is popular with families. Tiny Cala Mastella, 2km farther north, is a supremely peaceful spot, with a diminutive sandy beach and crystal-clear sheltered water. Just north of Cala Mastella, Cala Boix is another stunning sandy cove, a little larger and more exposed.
Continuing north from Cala Boix, the coastal road follows an exhilarating, serpentine route above the shore, through thick pine forests and past the lonely nudist beach of Aigües Blanques.

DETROIT, MI - A $14 million contract to design and build the new U.S. Border Patrol Station in Detroit has been awarded to Detroit-based Turner Construction, the Associated Press reports.
The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers announced Thursday that the project, scheduled to be complete in spring 2015, would be handled by Turner.
About 100 agents will work at the 45,000-square-foot facility once its finished.
The Detroit border patrol station will oversee 70 miles of the U.S.-Canada border along the Detroit River and Lake St. Clair.
The Corps says the current facility being used by the U.S. Customs and Border Patrol is too small and out of date, the AP reports. The new facility will include a dog kennel, a fitness area, a helipad, a communications tower and security fencing, in addition to storage and a holding area.

The Giants Four Horsemen
Tim Lincecum has been dominate again. Barry Zito has continued his resurgence that he showed in the second half of last season. Matt Cain hasn't been as sharp as last season but has still been an above average pitcher who has been well Cained (Cained: a term named after Giants' pitcher Matt Cain who often pitched beautifully but is stuck with a loss or no decision after a lack of run support) this season. Lastly Jonathan Sanchez who goes tonight has also been Cained this season (see one hitter and a loss) but has thrown two of the best games of the season for the Giants and deserves a whole lot better.
The combined stats of the 4 top starters is very impressive and I think is probably the best in the major's right now (I haven't looked but I feel pretty safe in saying so). At this point, I don't think that I would want to see any of these pitchers go and we should feel pretty fortunate to have them in the orange and black.
They are a combined 8-2 with an ERA of 1.94 and a WHIP of 0.98 they have a combined 94 strike outs against 26 walks those break out to 8.7 strike outs per 9 innings and 2.41 Walks per 9 innings.
Imagine if they had a half decent fifth starter or a semblance of a mediocre offense to compliment this studly foursome. There have been 4 games this season where the pitching and defense have given up 4 runs or fewer and lost, that should be good enough to get a win but with this offense the margin of error is slim.
Hopefully this masterful pitching can continue with four strong arms at the front of the rotation the Giants should be in just about every game hopefully with some timely hitting the Giants can carry this into the post season and should make them a scary team to face.

You are sitting at home, when, all of a sudden, you can't feel your arm, your head starts to pound and your vision starts to blur.
If this starts to happen, you might be experiencing what hundreds of thousands experience each year; you might be having a stroke.
Most of the time strokes – also referred to as brain attacks – can be prevented, according to the National Stroke Association.
Raising awareness to help prevent people from having strokes is one topic that will be discussed by Dr. James Dillon and Dr. Weems Pennington at the Aiken Regional Medical Centers' Advances in Stroke Treatment seminar on Thursday at 6 p.m.
Dillon, a neurosurgeon, will focus on warning signs of when someone might be experiencing a stroke and how important it is to get immediate medical help.
"Timing is very critical," he said.
Pennington, a cardiologist, will talk about what happens when a person gets to the hospital, namely after the ideal time – three to 4½ hours after the incident, he said.
In general, a stroke strikes when a person's blood flow to the brain's cells is intercepted, according to Aiken Regional's website. Two ways this can happen are when an artery is blocked so the blood can't reach the brain's cells or when an artery is ruptured and, therefore, bleeds out in the brain.
These methods cut off the oxygen supply to the brain, killing the brain's cells.
When those brain cells die, the abilities tied with them are lost, according to the National Stroke Association. This is why movement, sight, feeling and speech are all affected by having a stroke.
There are two main types of stroke: the ischemic stroke and the hemorrhagic stroke.
An ischemic stroke, the most common form, is caused by blood clots clogging up the arteries and, in turn, cutting off blood flow, according to Aiken Regional.
When a weakened blood vessel in the brain ruptures, the hemorrhagic stroke occurs, according to the National Stroke Association.
Other stroke symptoms include sudden numbness in the face or leg, mainly on one side of the body, confusion or difficulty understanding and trouble speaking or walking.
As Dillon will stress on Thursday, when one is undergoing a stroke attack, getting the person to the hospital as quickly as possible is key.
The patient might receive thrombolytic drugs to dissolve the clots that are blocking the blood flow, Dillon said.
Certain procedures can be administered, however, timing can affect which type is carried out, Pennington said.
For example, the tissue plasminogen activator is usually given within three to 4½ hours after a patient has experienced the stroke.
If the patient comes in after that time frame, a tissue plasminogen activator can be administered but in a different way, Pennington said.
Instead of using an IV to dissolve the blood clot, doctors like Pennington send a thin tube, or catheter, to the site of the blocked blood vessel in the brain. In other cases, they might try to remove the clot itself, according to the National Stroke Association.
ARMC has a staff of emergency physicians and nurses, interventional cardiologists, neurologists and neurosurgeons, radiologic technologists and registered cardiovascular invasive technologists to help treat stroke emergencies every day of the week, according to the hospital website.
Not smoking, lowering your cholesterol, controlling your weight, having a healthy diet and visiting your doctor regularly are all ways to prevent having a stroke.
Thursday's seminar will be held at Town Creek Baptist Church with a light dinner included. Registration is required. For more information, call 800-882-7445.
For more information on strokes, visit www.aikenregional.com/hospital-services/stroke or www.stroke.org.

HANSKA - A walkoff RBI single by Kevin Larson in the bottom of the 10th inning secured a 6-5 extra-inning victory against Searles in the Region 2C tournament on Tuesday.
With the win, Hanska improved to 3-0 in round-robin play and will advance to the state amateur baseball tournament.
"I love this group of guys because they just never quit," said Hanska coach and center fielder Mikale Gustafson. "We've played every game down to the wire in the regions and they just never give up."

Gustafson picked Hanska up from an early 2-0 deficit with a bases-clearing two-out triple in the bottom of the fourth inning to give it a 3-2 lead.
"I was looking for a fastball down the middle and just trying to lift it," Gustafson said. "I got a little more on it and shot the gap with it."
Searles retaliated with three runs in the fifth inning - two of which came off Hanska starter Dalton Deinhart, who got the no-decision in 4 1/3 innings pitched.
After 3 2/3 innings from Gary Wilfahrt, the Lakers were boasted by Brady Mosenden, who notched two strikeouts in two innings to get the win.
The Lakers came back with one run in the eighth and one run in the ninth before Larson's walkoff RBI.
Springfield draftee Shaun Anderson took the loss for Searles, having given up two earned runs on nine hits in 9 2/3 innings pitched.

Gracefully aging
Luminous soul casting light
My dear friend Susan
Today one of my dearest and most treasured friends, Susan, turns 65. She is a constant source of inspiration for me in so many areas of my life. To my delight, I discovered a wonderful synchronicity in today's entry in Mark Nepo's, The BOOK of AWAKENING where he writes about the power of being our authentic selves. He expands on what Carl Jung defined as "the unconscious influence of one being on another". Reading this made me realize that, beyond all the support and encouragement she gives me on the physical plane, there is the radiant energy she emits by just being her genuine self – nothing more, nothing less. As Mark says, . . . without any intent to shape others, we simply have to be authentic, and a sense of mana, of spiritual light and warmth, will emanate from our very souls, causing others to grow – not toward us, but toward the light that moves through us. . . by being who we are we not only experience life in all its vitality, but, quite innocently and without design, we help others to be more thoroughly themselves.
So isn't this a wonderful reminder for all of us that by simply being authentic we can help each other grow. Let's all remember to shine our light where ever we go today – just being totally ourselves, happy in our own skin, and by so doing we may positively influence someone else. Often the small differences we make in the world have a big impact.
Happy Birthday Susan, my cherished Anam Cara.

FLINT, Michigan - Changes coming in June to The Flint Journal include a comprehensive strategy to ensure current obituary information is available, even as the newspaper moves to a three-day-a-week print schedule.
"Access to up-to-date obituaries has been the top concern I've heard from our readers," said John Hiner, executive editor of The Journal, The Saginaw News and The Bay City Times. "We've listened, and we think we have a solution that covers all the bases."
Obituaries will continue to appear in the newspaper on publication days of Thursday, Friday and Sunday. Also, death notices will be posted daily through an obituary link on the newspaper's Web site, www.mlive.com.
On the four days the newspaper is not in print, The Journal will provide information through a local telephone call-in line.
Effective June 1, the telephone number for Flint Journal obituary information is (810) 835-4444.
Callers will hear a recorded message including the name, age, city and funeral home information of the deceased. The telephone line will be updated only on the days when the newspaper is not printed.
"The reason we came up with this plan is to accommodate those who don't have Internet access," said Denise Taglauer, classified call center manager for the three newspapers.
However, Taglauer said people who prefer receiving information by computer will find daily obituaries online at www.mlive.com/deathnotices, or they can receive e-mail updates by signing up on each newspaper's home page.
Readers also can submit written condolences to the deceased person's guest book on the Web site, which is powered by Legacy.com.
Printed obituaries will continue to appear in newspaper editions. The Flint Journal will publish paid tributes, called Reflections, for people whose funeral takes place prior to the next newspaper edition.
"Obituaries clearly are a high reader-interest item, and it's something that newspapers traditionally have done best," Hiner said. "Providing them in multiple formats, and making them easy for readers to access, illustrates the opportunities that newspapers are finding as new technology emerges.
"That said, we think many of our traditional readers will find that a telephone will be an elegantly simple solution."

WASHINGTON — American Farmland Trust, a farmland protection
group, announced the appointment of Andrew McElwaine, a 30-year leader in the
nonprofit conservation world, as its president.
McElwaine, 52, succeeds Jon Scholl, who earlier this year
announced his intention to step down to teach agricultural policy at the
University of Illinois.
"I've devoted my life to conserving working and natural
lands," McElwaine said, "especially acquiring and protecting farms and ranches.
I am honored that AFT has asked me to turn my energies toward working with the
farmers and ranchers who make their living on that land. It provides a good
livelihood for those who work it, fresh food for communities and a healthy
McElwaine has worked for more than three decades in
conservation, land protection, agriculture and public policy. In Florida, he
helped to acquire easements on farm and ranch land through donations to and
purchases by the Conservancy of Southwest Florida.
He supported a successful campaign for a state
constitutional amendment to reduce property taxes on lands with agricultural
easements, and sought solutions to Florida's long-term water and
growth-management problems.
In Pennsylvania, McElwaine co-chaired two successful
statewide bond initiatives that generated more than $1 billion in conservation
financing, including substantial support for local and regional farmland
protection. As a result, Pennsylvania became one of the nation's leaders in
farmland easement purchases.
McElwaine also served as the lead contractor for the
Susquehanna River nutrient-trading program, which rewards farmers for
implementing best management practices.
Since 2005, he has been president and CEO of the Conservancy
of Southwest Florida in Naples, Fla., where he successfully led coalitions at
the local, state and federal level to restore the Everglades, improve water
storage and management and balance growth with land conservation.
McElwaine also acquired easements on farm and ranch land and
oversaw more than 25,000 acres of easements held by the organization. He led a
successful capital campaign that raised more than $38 million for construction,
programming and endowment. The conservancy's net assets increased by more than
400 percent during his tenure.
Prior to that, McElwaine was president and CEO of the
Pennsylvania Environmental Council, where he worked to conserve land and water
resources in the state, including farmland. During his tenure, the organization
trademarked its motto, "Conservation through Cooperation."
Previous positions include director of environmental
programs at the Pittsburgh-based Heinz Endowments, staff member on President
George H.W. Bush's Commission on Environmental Quality and senior legislative
assistant to the late U.S. Sen. John Heinz, R-Pa.
McElwaine earned a bachelor's degree in political science
from Duke University, a master's degree in policy and history from Carnegie
Mellon University and a master's degree in history from George Mason University.

Auditor General Jack Wagner is calling for a moratorium on the creation of any more charter and cyber charter schools until the funding formula is changed.
Reader ericblair believes failing districts need the option of creating new charter schools:
"We need more charter schools in districts that are failing school districts. Parents and kids should have an option to escape failing schools. If the parent or kid fails to live up to the academic and behavior expectation of the charter school then they are returned to regular education. Charter schools in districts that are not failing should receive no additional funds than the child would receive attending any other school in that district."
Do residents in failing districts deserve the option of being able to create alternative education opportunities? Do you support a state moratorium on the establishment of new charter schools? Comment below.

On the heels of Friday's state Supreme Court ruling allowing same-sex couples to marry in New Jersey starting today, Gregory Galvez, 45, and Oscar Madrid, 49, who have been together for nearly 23 years, were the first couple to apply for a marriage license on Saturday in Jersey City, City spokeswoman Jennifer Morrill reported yesterday a "steady stream" of same-sex couples filing for marriage licenses during the city clerk's extended hours on Saturday.
"It feels great," Madrid said when asked what it felt like to finally be able to apply to be married. "We're excited. We're happy."
They are hoping to have their 72-hour waiting period waived in order to be married today at City Hall.
In Hoboken, one same-sex couple applied on Friday for a marriage license and two couples applied Saturday.
Hoboken residents Paul Somerville and Allen Kratz, who have been together since 1985, applied for their marriage license about 10 a.m. Saturday at the city's Health Department. They will be receiving the license on Tuesday and plan to wed in a private ceremony officiated by US District Judge Katharine Hayden on Thursday.
"It's wonderful," said Kratz, describing how it felt to be able to marry his longtime partner. "Civil rights always come too early for those in a comfortable position of power and never soon enough for those who have been denied life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness."

We have developed a model to study the chemistry of 46 ions corresponding to masses <=40 amu in the inner coma of comet 1P/Halley. The production rates, loss rates and ion mass densities are calculated using the Analytical Yield Spectrum approach and solving coupled continuity equation controlled by steady state photochemical equilibrium condition. The ionization sources in the model are solar EUV photon, photoelectron, and auroral electron of solar wind origin. The chemical model couples ions, neutrals, electrons, and photons through over 600 chemical reactions. Of the 46 ions considered in the model the chemistry of 24 important ions are discussed in detail in the paper. At radial distances <1000 km, the electron density is mainly controlled by 6 ions, viz., NH4+, H3O+, CH3OH2+, H3S+, H2CN+, and H2O+. However, at distances >1000 km, the 6 major ions are H3O+, CH3OH2+, H2O+, H3CO+, C2H2+, and NH4+. It is found that at radial distances greater than ~1000 km (+/-500 km) the major chemical processes that govern the production and loss of several of the important ions in the inner coma are different from those that dominate at distances below this value. The calculated ion mass densities are compared with Giotto Ion Mass Spectrometer (IMS) and Neutral Mass Spectrometer (NMS) data at radial distances 1500, 3500, and 6000 km. The nine major peaks at 12, 15, 19, 26, 28, 31, 33, 35, and 39 amu observed in IMS/NMS spectra are reproduced well by model calculations inside the ionopause. We present simple formulae for calculating densities of the 7 major ions in the inner coma, which will be useful in estimating their densities without running the complex chemical models.

The Canadian Olympic Committee has filed suit against the Canadian arm of the parent company of The North Face, alleging that the apparel giant is marketing a line of clothing that infringes the Olympic Committee's trademarks and implies that The North Face is a sponsor of the 2014 Games, when in fact, it is not.
The International Olympic Committee calls the tactic "ambush marketing"—practices used by companies in which they attempt to exploit the Olympic brands while avoiding the hefty cost of official sponsorship.
The dispute began when North Face unveiled a new line it called "the Villagewear Collection," an alleged reference to the athlete's village. The collection featured items such as jackets and bags that display the colors and flags of various countries, the words "Sochi" and "Olympics", and also include country-specific adornments. For example, the Canadian-themed gear is red and white and features a Maple Leaf. Additionally, several pieces are adorned with "RU/14"—a reference, the lawsuit claims, to the 2014 Games in Russia. Other pieces have the number "2.7.14" and the marketing materials include descriptions such as "Men's Sochi Full Zip Hoodie."
The Canadian Olympic Committee apparently approached The North Face a number of times to demand a cessation to the marketing of the line. In response, The North Face rebranded the line as the "International Collection", but took no further action.
The lawsuit claims that such practices mislead consumers into believing that The North Face is an official sponsor of the 2014 Olympics. A spokeswoman for The North Face, however, responds that The North Face makes no such claims:
"The North Face has been a long-standing supporter of the freeskiing movement but we are not an official sponsor of the Canadian Olympic Committee or Team Canada and never indicated we were," Ann Krcik responded by email.
The lawsuit seeks a permanent injunction to stop The North Face's marketing tactics, as well as damages. The case has been filed in the B.C. Supreme Court.

BAY CITY, MI — Tuesday's primary election turned out to be a bit of a nail-biter for incumbent 31st District state Sen. Mike Green.
The race for the Republican nomination — which also featured state Rep. Kevin Daley, R-Lum, and Jeffery Phillips, a Kingston Community Schools trustee — went deep into the night before Green, R-Mayville, prevailed.
"It was closer than I expected and closer than I liked, but we won," said Green, speaking from a party at the Brentwood restaurant in Caro.
In the end, Green received 10,409 votes to Daley's 9,756 votes, a difference of 653 votes. Phillips garnered 947 votes.
"Mr. Daley … called and conceded, and it takes a man to do that and I appreciated it," Green said. "So now, it's on to November."
In the general election, slated for Nov. 4, Green is now set to face Ron "Mindy" Mindykowski, of Bay City, who was unopposed on Tuesday's Democratic primary ballot and received 11,224 votes.
Daley said he now supports Green in his bid for re-election, and spoke of his own campaign with pride.
"I appreciate all the support," Daley said, mentioning Lapeer County in particular. "I think we did a very, very good job of running against an incumbent for part of the area and being outspent tremendously.
"I think we ran a very respectable campaign as well. I just mean that I think our information was factual that we put out there."
The 31st state Senate district is changing from its current boundaries — Arenac, Bay, Huron, Sanilac and Tuscola counties — to a new three-county area comprised of Bay, Lapeer and Tuscola counties.
On Tuesday, Green won the majority of votes in Bay and Tuscola counties, while Daley captured the majority of votes in Lapeer County. Here is a breakdown of vote totals by county:
- Bay County — Green, 4,496; Daley, 1,785; Phillips, 411.
- Tuscola County — Green, 3,490; Daley, 1,395; Phillips, 195.
- Lapeer County — Green, 2,423; Daley, 6,576; Phillips, 341.
Green said he expects his upcoming campaign to begin in earnest in October, following sessions of the state Legislature in September.
"We're going to keep making Michigan stronger and a better place to live," Green said. "I'm excited to begin the campaign for the last term. I'm looking forward to representing the county of Bay and Tuscola and now the county of Lapeer … it's going to be an interesting four years coming up."

DAUPHIN ISLAND, Alabama -- After an unusually cold winter season, part-time resident West Indian manatees have been spotted again along the Alabama coast.
Two of those sightings were of groups of up to seven manatees traveling together. Among the animals sighted is a large male manatee nicknamed "Big Ben" who is a frequent seasonal visitor to Alabama waters.
"This season has been a little unusual because of the extended cold periods, but it appears that our seasonal visitors wasted no time returning to Alabama waters as soon as the waters were warm enough" said Ruth Carmichael, senior marine scientist at Dauphin Island Sea Lab, who oversees the manatee research program.
Carmichael encouraged coastal residents to view manatees from a safe distance (usually about 100 feet) and to report their sightings as soon as possible.
"Our primary goal this time of year is to remind people that manatees are here and that the sighting network is active. We really depend on the public to share information and report these important sightings, any time," said Carmichael.
Manatee sightings can be reported to the DISL/MSN research team any time by phone (1-866-493-5803), email (email@example.com), or online sighting form (manatee.disl.org).
During the winter months, manatees migrate to central or south Florida. The photos and video above were taken in Crystal River, Fla. this winter. The constant water temperature of the spring-fed river makes it a winter haven for West Indian manatees.

Fact or Fiction: Prostate Cancer
It's Movember! Help the men in your life stay healthy by learning what's fact and what's fiction when it comes to prostate cancer(8 Photos)
Fiction: Men with Prostate Cancer Always Experience Symptoms
Most of the time, men don't have symptoms," says J. Brantley Thrasher, M.D., chair of the department of urology at the University of Kansas Medical Center and spokesperson for the American Urological Association (AUA). Some men, however, do experience changes in urinary or sexual function, including frequent nighttime urination, painful or burning urination, difficulty getting or maintain an erection or a dull pain in the lower pelvic area. Even one of those symptoms warrants a call to the doctor.TOM MERTON/ OJO IMAGES/ GETTY IMAGES
Fact: There's No One-Size-Fits-All Screening Recommendation
The American Cancer Society (ACS) recommends guys of average risk (such as no family history) talk to their doctors about screening tests if they're age 50 or older. Other organizations, such as the AUA, suggest men of average risk consider screening earlier at age 40 to establish a baseline. The bottom line: "Guys need to talk to their physicians to learn what makes the most sense for their personal health risks and lifestyle," says Dr. Thrasher. Screening may include a prostate-specific antigen (PSA) blood test, with or without a digital rectal exam (DRE).GETTY IMAGES
Fiction: Dietary Supplements Can Prevent Prostate Cancer
Store shelves are stocked with dietary supplements that suggest they can decrease a guy's risk of prostate cancer or promote better urine flow. But there's no proof behind those claims. "There's no good scientific data to support the use of these supplements," says Thrasher. "Guys are far better off leading a healthy lifestyle, managing weight, exercising and eating plenty of fruits and vegetables. Heart disease will kill more men than all cancers combined, and what's good for a guy's heart is good for his overall health, too."MARK WEISS/ DIGITAL VISION/ GETTY IMAGES
Fact: Men With a Family History of Prostate Cancer Are at Higher Risk
Guys with a family history of the disease are twice as likely to develop prostate cancer, according to the Prostate Cancer Foundation. The risk increases even more if he has a brother, son or father who's had prostate cancer. The ACS recommends that guys with a family history start a discussion with their doctors at age 45, or by age 40 if more than one family member had prostate cancer.GETTY IMAGES
Fiction: Elevated PSA Levels Always Mean Cancer
Absolutely not. "Other prostate conditions can falsely elevate the test," says Tobias Kohler, M.D., assistant professor of surgery in urology at Southern Illinois University School of Medicine and AUA spokesperson . "Only about 30 percent of the time does an elevated PSA indicate cancer." Other conditions that can raise PSA include an enlarged prostate due to benign prostatic hyperplasia (which can affect a guy's ability to pass urine), prostatitis (an infection or inflammation of the prostate gland), or even injury or recent ejaculation (which can raise PSA temporarily).GETTY IMAGES
Fact: African American Men Are at Higher Risk for Prostate Cancer
Though scientists aren't sure why, African American men are more likely to be diagnosed with prostate cancer at a later stage and are more than twice as likely as Caucasian men to die. "African American men need to talk to their doctors about screening sooner than [Caucasian] men of average risk," says Yul Ejnes, M.D., former chair of the Board of Regents for the American College of Physicians. The ACS recommends that African American men talk to their doctors about screening by age 45.GETTY IMAGES
Fiction: Having a Vasectomy Increases Your Risk for Prostate Cancer
Nope. "There's no evidence that there's a link with vasectomy and prostate cancer," says Dr. Ejnes. So if your guy is considering a vasectomy he needn't worry about increasing his prostate cancer risk.GETTY IMAGES
Fact: Most Prostate Cancers Are Diagnosed in Older MeN
Prostate cancer is rarely found in men younger than age 40. In fact, more than 65 percent of prostate cancer is diagnosed in men older than age 65, according to the Prostate Cancer Foundation. "That's why it's important for guys to pay attention to any changes in their sexual or urinary health, talk to their doctors and live a healthy lifestyle as the years pass," says T Help the Men in Your Life Stay HealthyIMAGE SOURCE/ GETTY IMAGES

Just for the record, I am wearing the same size jeans (6) at 149 on PB, as I did when I was on a crazy "protein-sparing fast" program 15 years ago, and got down to 130 (for about five minutes). Only difference is about 15 pounds of LBM ;-)
My advice is, go ahead and weigh yourself if you must, but do NOT let the numbers mess with your mind. You're doing great.

Good science should drive all fisheries decisions, and Lieutenant Governor Mead Treadwell says he has the chops to maintain a true course.
Treadwell, a Republican who hopes to unseat Democratic U.S. Senator Mark Begich in November's election, paid a recent visit to Kodiak and "talked fish" in a brief interview.
Few can claim Treadwell's experience and understanding of the Arctic, where he has represented Alaska on U.S. Delegations in three circumpolar government groups, and been a director of the Institute of the North. He said he "doesn't expect any major fisheries there anytime soon."
Treadwell called ocean acidification one of the "most pressing effects" of climate change, and "one of the toughest things to adapt to."
The solutions, he believes, lie in better technology.
"I have always supported trying to make our energy cleaner," he said, pointing to potential in CO2 sequestration technology and use of hydrogen vehicles. "I believe we can and must be a proving ground for some of these new technologies."
Treadwell added that he has always been a "tireless advocate for our oceans."
"But you are not going to find me, as a responsible official from a state known for three things: cold, dark, distance — and where people are already paying too much for energy — trying to raise their energy prices," he said.
Treadwell has played a leading role in the launch of nearly every Alaska research center from Ketchikan to Barrow; he is a past director of the state Dept. of Environmental Conservation, served as Cordova's director of oil spill response after the 1989 Exxon Valdez oil spill, and was a founder of the Prince William Sound Science Center.
"I would come to the Senate with that background," he said. I am probably one of the most scientifically savvy people to have ever served."
On the fisheries side, Treadwell believes "knowledge is power." He said his entire career has focused on 'commons management' of resources, starting with his first job in Alaska as an intern to Wally Hickel when he unsuccessfully ran for governor in 1974. Treadwell helped Hickel pen his position on the 200 mile limit, and he later wrote his graduate thesis at Yale on the limit's history going back to 1937.
"I also am no stranger to the senior fisheries managers in this country. I have been part of the fight to get CDQ's – and I will be there fighting with knowledge even if I don't have seniority," he said.
Treadwell said he is "passionate" about protecting the livelihoods of fishermen and coastal communities.
"I think of our fishermen as some of the last free people on earth and I want to make sure we maintain that freedom," he said. "To do that, it takes three things: make sure the biology is sustained, make sure any program works economically and you don't drive the fishermen out of business, and make sure there is equity so that you keep fishing families fishing."
"My motto to any young person is 'never leave your government alone,' the Senate hopeful added. "If you do, they will get their own ideas and they are not always useful to you."
Comment deadline flub
No one appears to know that a deadline to have a say on how man-made sounds affect marine mammals is January 27. Two days after Christmas, NOAA released its "Draft Guidance for Assessing the Effects of Anthropogenic [man made] Sound on Marine Mammals," which seeks to improve understanding of acoustical impacts on the animals.
Senator Lisa Murkowski was irate at NOAA's untimely "holiday surprise" in announcing the opportunity for the public to comment.
"This is a national issue, but when you think about Alaska, it is something that has the potential to affect our coastal communities, the maritime sector, the transit of all of our goods, the fishing industry, oil and gas – basically anyone who is out on the water," Murkowski said in a phone interview. "It will include the noises of seismic activity from exploratory depth soundings, or driving piles to expand a dock at the Port of Anchorage or a coastal community."
Salmon permits soar
The value of Alaska salmon permits are soaring in many fisheries. In Bristol Bay drift gillnet permits are being offered at $140,000, compared to $90,000 at the same time last year.
A scan of listings by four brokers shows that Prince William Sound seine cards are over $200,000 — they were in the $140,000 range a year ago. The Sound's driftnet permits also are selling at over 200K.
Southeast Alaska seine permits are the priciest at $320,000, up from $250,000 last January. Kodiak seine values continued an upward creep to $50,000 compared to $36,000 on average. Chignik permits are listed in the $225,000 range. At Area M on the Alaska Peninsula drift cards were at $90,000 and seine cards at $65,000, down slightly.
Cook Inlet drift permits are being offered at $85,000 or higher, which is $10,000 more than a year ago Cook Inlet seine cards are listed in the $65,000 range and setnets at $16,000.
Cook Inlet will be the focus of the Board of Fish when it takes up 235 proposals at its meeting later this month. Fishery managers have provided a list of Frequently Asked Questions about managing king salmon on the Kenai River in advance of the meeting. It uses the 2013 season to explain escapement policies, how salmon are counted, king salmon research and more. The Fish

I'm really quite proud of this game. I went down TWO pieces early, but managed to fork the queen and pull off a win over an opponent that should have beaten me fairly easily. It gives me a little hope, anyway.
