Herb Malone, director of the Alabama Gulf Coast Convention and Visitors Bureau, said starting the school year four weeks before Labor Day hurts the local tourism businesses. The start also cuts into the summer income of students and school employees. Those losses cut already depleted tax revenue for schools, the county and state, Malone told Baldwin school board members at a recent work session.
Moving the beginning of class two weeks later in August statewide would generate another $333 million in Alabama, according to a study prepared by M. Keivan Deravi, professor of economics at Auburn University Montgomery. That total includes almost $259 million in additional tourism revenue as well seasonal income for students and teachers.
Malone said that with Baldwin County generating 38 percent of the state's tourist income, that $259 million would mean another $98 million for the local economy. That would also generate about $1 million in additional county sales taxes, most of which would go to the school system, he said.

KAPO plans CAO counter-offensive
A capacity crowd gathered in Silverdale last Friday night to criticize the Critical Areas Ordinance (CAO), during an informational meeting about its nature and weaknesses.
We need to make sure that the science used to make these decisions is appropriate and applicable, said speaker Sandy Mackie, an attorney planning to challenge aspects of the ordinance in court. But we all want to know how that buffer crossed the road.
Mackie will represent the Kitsap Alliance of Property Owners (KAPO), which had sponsored the event in order to inform and galvanize its membership in anticipation of the upcoming court action.
The Kitsap County commissioners approved the CAO in December after a protracted examination process. The CAOs most controversial aspect is the size of stream buffers, areas around wetlands where development is prohibited.
KAPO, for the most part, feels these buffers are too large and will unreasonably stifle new construction and remodeling projects.
Every pond contains something living, even if its just pond scum, Mackie said. And just because there is a salamander living in a ditch doesnt make the ditch a protected area. The question you need to answer is whether salamanders are doing well in Kitsap. And the answer is yes.
During last years discussions, KAPO representatives called the CAO an unprecedented land grab. It also said repeatedly that public testimony was consistently ignored, a charge disputed by the Kitsap County Department of Community Development (DCD).
KAPO filed its complaint at the end of February, just within the state-imposed 60-day limit. The hearing is scheduled for late July before the Central Growth Management Board, and would then move to an appellate court if KAPO doesnt get what it wants.
KAPO President Karl Duff said he expects the organization will continue its court battle until it either wins or runs out of money. Consequently, KAPO has ramped up its fundraising efforts to pay its legal bills and sponsor more events.
Weve found that many people need to hear about something about five times before they become involved, he said.
During Fridays presentation, Mackie tipped his hand about KAPOs legal strategy, saying the organization would ask that the CAO should be struck down on grounds that it limited public participation, failed to document shoreline areas, failed to use best available science to support the program, failed to comply with the State Environmental Policy Act after each significant revision and failed to consider property rights issues.
Mackie said growth management law is one of the most complex legal fields in existence because it blends environmental law, land-use law, geography and three types of science social, political and hard.
In several cases, answers to specific questions are in existing documentation. All thats needed is someone who can interpret the paperwork. In other cases, a question from the public may expose a heretofore unnoticed flaw.
Citizens need to understand what is being required of them, and they often need to have this explained, Mackie said. But if there are real consequences, there ought to be some objective standards we can use.
One such example comes from rules governing shoreline. Contrary to popular belief, not all waterfront property automatically qualifies as a critical area but must be specifically designated as such.
Mackie said one prevailing point of view is, The county did a great job. They made everyone unhappy.
He said county governments may hide behind certain catch phrases so as to avoid responsibility for enacting an unpopular ordinance. Two of the most common are, State agencies force us to do this, and, We are supported by good science. Mackie said the most dangerous such phrase is We have to act in order to be eligible for grants.
Saying that they know something is illegal but they need to pass it in order to remain grant eligible is not an excuse, Mackie said.
KAPO estimated that about half of the 170 attendees were members. Also attending were two members of the Kitsap County Planning Commission, several candidates for public office and two DCD representatives.
While she was prohibited from discussing the case directly, planner Patty Charnas called the meeting a great listening opportunity for the county.
Commissioners Jan Angel and Patty Lent, who were also instructed to keep their distance from Mackie, attended and drew differing reactions. Angel voted against the CAO and received robust applause. Lent, whose swing vote passed the ordinance, received a more polite greeting.
Both Duff and Henderson said they would like to present more forums, even bringing Mackie back for an encore performance providing he could work in a shorter time period than the two hours and 15 minutes he used on Friday.
I thought it went on too long, Henderson said. But I did learn quite a few things. And even at the end, people looked like they were caught up in the message.

SAGINAW, MI — A paranormal investigator with ties to Saginaw said he is thankful that his friends, family and fans made efforts to bring him home safely this week.
Brian Harnois, former Ghost Hunters television star and a member of the Saginaw Paranormal Investigations Team, posted online Wednesday to thank everyone for their concern while he was reported missing this week.
Harnois was reported missing from his home in Rhode Island by his wife, Michelle, on Sunday, Dec. 9, after he posted a "goodbye" message on his Facebook page.
Harnois was found safe on the morning of Monday, Dec. 10, and checked himself into a hospital for treatment.
"Ok everyone, I am safe. I wanted to thank everyone that was concerned for me. I am sorry I posted it here on Facebook, but I was so out of it, I didn't know what to do or where to go," he wrote on his page on Wednesday, Dec. 12.
"I know I still have tons of friends out there, and couldn't realize it at the time. I should have never done this, but no it was not a hoax. I was serious at the time.
"Thank you to all my friends that posted on here and web wide looking for me, and to all my personal friends, I will be calling you tomorrow or the next day to talk to you all. Michelle, I will be calling you tomorrow."
Harnois reported that he was back on medication for bi-polar disorder and offered a word of caution to anyone who was "bashing" him during the ordeal.
"There is always more than one side to the story," Harnois wrote.
"Again thank you and I was deeply touched by everyone who searched, posted, and hunted for me."
Harnois was involved in the making of "A Haunting on Potter Street" and attended the film's Saginaw premiere at the Temple Theatre in November.
He has been part of a team that has produced several other films about possibly haunted places in Saginaw.
Harnois has appeared in 36 episodes of Ghost Hunters from seasons one through three, the 2005 and 2006 Ghost Hunters Live Halloween specials, and the first 10 episodes of season one of Ghost Hunters International, according to Wikipedia.

Gov. Andrew Cuomo and state legislators drew praise from education advocates today for adding more money to the governor's initial school budget plan.
The new plan will boost school spending by nearly $1 billion, a jump over the $889 million increase initially proposed by Cuomo.
The spending will include several grant programs proposed by Cuomo, including $25 million for full-day pre-kindergarten, $20 million for extended day programs, $15 million for community schools, $11 million to reward high-performing teachers and $4 million to boost Early College High School programs.
The grants have been criticized because they do not spread the money across the majority of districts in the state, which are struggling under high pension costs. But one of those critics said today that the additional money will help relieve those concerns.
"We're glad that it's been boosted up – it's a big plus," said Rick Timbs, executive director of the Statewide School Finance Consortium. "But the distribution will be the key."
Billy Easton, executive director of the Alliance for Quality Education, praised the pre-k initiative, calling pre-k "hands-down the most cost-effective education reform available. … This investment in full-day pre-k is a modest, but important beginning."
The grant program would target the state's neediest 4-year-olds. It remains unclear which districts across the state would be eligible to apply for it.
Breakdowns of general school aid for individual districts are not likely to emerge today. Bob Lowry, deputy director of the New York State Council of School Superintendents, said it will likely be Saturday or Sunday before those numbers are released.
Assemblyman Al Stirpe, D-Cicero, is among the rank-and-file legislators who have been unable to get answers yet on how the education funding changes will affect their local schools.
"I've been stopping everybody in the halls" asking about school aid, Stirpe said this morning. "Hopefully we can get some additional questions answered soon."
A statement put out by the governor says the agreement maintains his insistence that districts without approved teacher evaluation plans not get additional state aid. That may foreclose the possibility that New York City will recover the $240 million Cuomo took away because it does not have a plan in place.
Lowry speculated that the additional money added to Cuomo's proposal would be used to restore funds taken from districts in so-called "gap elimination adjustments" over the last few year to shore up the state's budget gap.
He said some of the money is also likely to go to the foundation aid formula, which benefits all districts, and to restoring the "high-tax aid" that was cut in Cuomo's proposal. High-tax aid has been criticized for funneling money mostly to wealthy districts with high tax burdens.

Connor, Steven (2009) Incidents of the breath: in pneumatic and electric ventriloquisms. In: Satz, A. and Wood, J. (eds.) Articulate Objects: Voice, Sculpture and Performance. Pieterlen, Switzerland: Peter Lang, pp. 63-80. ISBN 9783039107476.Full text not available from this repository.
Book synopsis: How do objects 'speak' to us? What happens to authorship when voice is projected into inanimate objects? How can one articulate an object into speech? Is the inarticulate body necessarily silent? These are just some of the questions brought up by this unique and unusual collection of essays, which presents subjects and categories often overlooked by the disciplines of art history, visual culture, theatre history and comparative literature. Drawing from and expanding upon the 'Performing Objects, Animating Images' academic session run by the Henry Moore Institute at the Association of Art Historians conference, held in London in 2003, this book presents thirteen essays that bring together a multidisciplinary approach to the animated object. Contributions range from literal accounts of magic lanterns, tableaux vivants, puppets and ventriloquist dummies, to the more abstract notions of voice displacement in audio art and authorship projection in writing machines. The contributors come from diverse backgrounds in art history, cultural history, comparative literature, and artistic, theatrical and curatorial practice, and all tackle the issue of 'articulate objects' from a range of lively and unexpected perspectives.

That was the Oregon offense as we knew it last year.
The Ducks spread Oregon State's defense from sideline to sideline, then dominated the Beavers while rolling to a 65-38 victory. At least, that is the way I saw it.
It looks now like the Beavers played over their heads for much of the last two months. Then,with OSU just a step away from a New Year's Day trip to Pasadena, Oregon pulled out the rug.
Imagine what the Ducks might have done this year if quarterback Jeremiah Masoli began the regular season playing the way he did at the end of it. With Masoli at the throttle, Oregon was in balance and in control.
The Ducks have their own worries, starting with offensive coordinator Chip Kelly's Wednesday interview for the vacant Syracuse head-coaching job.
Kelly clearly is special, and who knows if he will be around next year -- or, even, next month for Oregon's postseason bowl game, probably the Holiday.

We had a news thread about this a while back, but now the movie has a name, and the cast is starting to fill out.
From the Hollywood Reporter:
Jason Sudeikis continues his run of booking parts in high-profile comedy projects. This time the Saturday Night Live regular will play politics with Will Ferrell and Zach Galifianakis in Dog Fight, which Jay Roach is directing.
Shawn Harwell and frequent Ferrell collaborator Chris Henchy wrote the screenplay, about rival politicians in a small congressional district in South Carolina. Sarah Baker and Katherine LaNasa have also been cast.
Galifianakis is producing along with Roach, through his Everyman Pictures, and Ferrell and Adam McKay, through their Gary Sanchez Prods. shingle. Warner Bros. is distributing the movie, which begins filming mid-November in New Orleans for an August release.

Most people teach their dogs not to bite. But there's a time and place for everything.
The time was early this morning. The place was Troutdale.
A 19-year-old woman took her dog outside and was grabbed by a man.
That's when the dog, a pit bull, came to her rescue.
Troutdale police say the dog bit the man -- hard enough that he let the woman go.
The attack occurred about 12:50 a.m., at an apartment complex in the 600 block of Southwest 257th Avenue.
The man is thought to be 25 to 30 years old, 5-foot-10 and 170 pounds. He wore dark pants and a black hooded sweatshirt. Anyone with information is asked to call 503-665-6129.
Sgt. Marc Shrake, a Troutdale police spokesman, said it is unusual for someone to attack a person in the presence of their dog.
"Especially with it being a pit bull," he said.
The suspect was last seen running away.

A recent letter by Kevin Chown takes our state rep. to task about what is in or not in the so-called Affordable Health Care law. Evidently Kevin has an inside track on this piece of legislation that not many know much about.
One reason people are lacking an understanding of this lengthy bill is that it is over 2,500 pages. As one Supreme Court Justice stated, "Forcing a person to read the bill would be cruel and unusual punishment." One thing politicians, usually Democrats, do is to give a piece of legislation a nice friendly name. So we have the so-called Affordable Care Act. But already the Health and Human Services people have added 13,000 pages of rules and there will be more. There will be over 16,500 new IRS workers to collect, examine, and audit tax returns. Where will the money come from to pay these people as we are deeply in debt and borrowing 40 cents for every dollar we spend?
Also, there will be at least 180 new boards, commissions, and bureaus. The people working in these offices will have to be paid also.
So, the more one looks at the Affordable Care Act, it seems to get less affordable. But just to make you feel good that our national government is looking after you, Obamacare states 1,563 times that the Secretary of Health and Human Services shall determine. Gosh, the more I read and hear about the Affordable Care Act, the better I feel. Unfortunately the middle class people will pay higher taxes. But Mr. Obama has our best interest at heart, so we will have to forgive him for breaking his promise not to raise taxes on the middle class.
Concerning the job picture, Mr. Obama states that he has added 4 million jobs. That might seem like a huge number, but a closer look will dispel that bit of nonsense.
Mr. O has been in office 42 months. So dividing 4 million by 42 gives us about 95,000 jobs per month. But to get below the 8 percent unemployed, figure he would have to average 220,000 a month. He is a long way from that figure.
To close this letter, I will cite a pearl of wisdom from Thomas Sowell, an economist. "For a long time, Democrats have gone to Washington to win at all costs, while too many Republicans went to Washington to compromise with Democrats. The rise of the Tea Party may change that."

United Way hands out Community Impact Awards, kicks off annual campaign
United Way of Kitsap County on Monday launched its annual campaign, "Live United," welcoming about 170 supporters to the Kitsap Conference Center at Bremerton Harborside for a kick-off ceremony and presentation of the 2008 Community Impact Awards.
The awards, given for the first time last year, recognize individuals, businesses and organizations for making Kitsap County a better place.
"Community impact is about getting at the root cause of problems," said Patricia Hennessy, United Way of Kitsap County director of resource development, who presented the awards.
This year's awards were given to organizations for helping children and youth succeed (Bremerton School District), promoting health and wellness (Kitsap County Health District), building safe and caring communities (Habitat for Humanity) and supporting aging and vulnerable populations (Boeing Bluebills).
Superintendent Bette Hyde and Linda Sullivan-Dudzic, director of special programs, spoke on behalf of the school district, which was recognized for advocating early childhood education.
Since 2001, when only four percent of students knew the alphabet entering kindergarten, the district has focused on early childhood reading. Today, that number is above 50 percent and more than 94 percent of first graders can read.
"We couldn't do this without our many partners," Hyde said. "It's the district as a whole, working with the community as a whole, it really is a community partnership."
Habitat for Humanity landed its award, in part, for building the New Hope Community in West Bremerton, the first multi-residential project built by Habitat's Kitsap County chapter.
The project translated to 18 new homes in a notoriously poor area.
"This award goes to all our donors and volunteers who build our houses," said Josh Daughtery, development manager. "New Hope is built completely by volunteer labor."
The health district, meanwhile, was recognized for its Welcome Home Baby Program, a free service offering assistance with breast-feeding, weight check for babies, information on self-care for mothers and other community resources.
Health District representatives Scott Lundquist and Sandra Morales accepted the award, recognizing the staff and board of health for making the program possible.
Myron Vogt and Ed Berthiaume, of the Boeing Bluebill's Olympic Chapter, also accepted an award.
Prior to the award ceremony, United Way of Kitsap County Executive Director David Foote introduced the "Live United" theme.
An ambitious trio of 10-year goals, aiming to cut high school drop-out rates and the number of financially unstable working families in half, and increase the percentage of healthy youth and adults by one-third, "Live United" calls for community support in advancing the common good.
"These targets — education, income and health — are the building blocks for a good life," Foote said.
The tag line illustrates the "power of the whole," one of United Way's key ideals.
"United Way, and not just United Way in Kitsap County, but the United Way system across the country, is evolving," Foote said. "The evolution is progression from 'what matters', to 'live united.'"
Foote said the national high school graduation rate is 73.9 percent, far too low for a country with so many resources. To combat those numbers, he said, children need developmentally sound literacy, social, emotional and cognitive skills before kindergarten.
"To achieve this goal ... we must engage with children and their families beginning at birth," he said. "These skills are essential."
The second stem in the three-legged root, to reduce the number of financially insecure working class families, will call the community to promote financial stability and independence.
"We must help lower-income families increase income, build savings and grow assets so that they have reduced debt and are working toward a goal," Foote said, including retirement, starting a business and post-secondary education among the goals.
And lastly, Foote said, members of the community must remain in good health.
"He who has health has hope, and he who has hope has everything," he said, drawing from an Arabian proverb.
"Live United; it is about advancing the common good. When you lend the hand to one, you influence the conditions of all."
West Sound Bank President and CEO Terry Peterson, who is the 2008 United Way Annual Campaign Community Chair, gave the keynote address. He called United Way a "bulletproof organization," saying it has stood the test of time since beginning in 1887 in Denver, Colo.
"United Way really is a western culture, it's part of our heritage," Peterson said.
Peterson remembered his first encounter with United Way — donating $20 dollars a month for one year, or a "pizza and a pop" — and illustrated how the "power of the whole" changes lives.
"Giving up a pizza and a pop as an individual isn't much, but when you join with a small army of 1,000 people you can really start making a difference in peoples lives," he explained, "and that's living united."
Peterson also compared "charitable giving" to "charitable investing," saying the latter is what United Way is all about.
"Charitable giving, from my perspective, is giving a kid a coat in the winter," he said. "Charitable investing is not only giving that young person a coat, but trying to figure out why he or she doesn't have a coat in the first place — that's charitable investing, and that's what United Way does so well."

Edwards spelling
I too am the great grandson of Marinda Edwards (Rinny). Since you have name-editing power, will you please spell "Edwards" correctly in the headline of the memorial. It is "a stick in the eye."
Thank you.

Fellowship Cemetery - Hineston, LA
Hi Deb. I just found this "Find A Grave" site today when my 79-yr old mother mentioned she was visiting Fellowship Cemetery near Hineston, LA where her parents are buried, as well as two younger brothers and her grandparents.
Could you please link the following graves at Fellowship Cemetery?
Elizabeth (Lynch) Treadway Matchett (#46844046) was a second wife of Joe M. Treadway (#28186754). They married sometime in 1928 or 1929.
Also, please link my grandmother, Elizabeth (Lynch) Treadway Matchett, #46844046, as mother of the following two children:
#28186753 "Infant Son of Mr. & Mrs. Joe Treadway" was called Huey Oscar and was my mother's twin brother; he was stillborn but his twin sister, my mom, is now 79.
#28186755 Thomas Overton Treadway was also a son of Elizabeth & Joe M. Treadway, all who are buried in Fellowship cemetery.
Please contact me at my email address if you need any more information.

Cudds, Lawsons, many NC & SC names
Thank you so very much for your helping others on Find A Grave. This is a very helpful thing you are doing. I started my genealogy journey in the 80's and at that time I was able to visit many cemeteries in both NC and SC. Now that I am unable to due to age and health, it is so helpful to be able to see them on Find A Grave, thanks to people like you. I am striving hard to get as much of my family history as possible on Ancestry and Family Tree Maker for my descendants and others, so they will be able to see their family heritage. I hope you will not mind my making copies of your photos for my family files. May God bless you in all that you do to help others.
I thank you from the depths of my heart.

It's becoming increasingly obvious that we're not going to have a rerun of 2008.
The Obama magic is long gone, and we're probably going to have a pretty tight race for the White House.
A new national poll of likely voters released last week gave Mitt Romney a very small lead over President Barack Obama. More significantly, the poll gave Romney a 10-point lead among independent voters, the group that decides every presidential election.
Meanwhile, a large majority of voters said they believe the nation is headed in the wrong direction, an ominous sign for any incumbent seeking a second term.
But the poll also indicated that a high percentage of independent voters remain undecided headed into the last two months of the campaign. That means a lot of people need to hear and see a lot more before casting a vote in what might be the most important presidential election in years.
They need access to every bit of information they can possibly get about the two candidates and their parties. I believe that access should begin with extended television coverage of the two major party's national conventions.
The three major television networks have been all but ignoring the conventions in recent years, and plan to do the same this year. While I generally don't condone government intrusion into private business decisions, I believe the Federal Communications Commission should have the power to require the networks to provide more extensive coverage.
Why? Because the networks use public airwaves to make billions of dollars every year. And they really rake in the bucks during election years, selling pricey political ads to desperate candidates at the local, state and federal levels.
Given the huge sums they make from the political process, the networks should be obliged to donate a few nights during the low-ratings month of August to comprehensive convention coverage. Some things are just more important than reruns of "Two and a Half Men".
I realize that political conventions have changed over the years. In the past they were often full of intrigue, with the identity of the nominees not determined until the wee hours of the proceedings. Remember the Ford-Reagan dogfight in 1976, when the candidates were still wooing individual delegates at their respective hotels and the nomination remained unsettled until the roll call of the states?
Unfortunately, that kind of drama no longer occurs.
Today's primary election system all but guarantees that the nominees will be chosen long before the conventions. On the surface, that makes the gatherings seem like little more than giant pep rallies for each party.
But people who don't know a lot about the candidates or their parties -- and that includes a lot of voters -- can get a real taste of what they stand for by focusing on the messages being delivered at the conventions.
But that becomes harder when ABC, CBS and NBC only offer about one hour of televised coverage every night of the conventions.
Like them or hate them, the two major parties dominate the presidential election process, and their national conventions are the launching pads of the general election campaign. They allow the candidates to formally introduce themselves to the public, state their case and ask for their votes.
If anything, the media should be front and center, asking the candidates and their surrogates tough questions that cut through the balloons and confetti and help undecided voters sort through the issues.
Of course, the networks would scream that they lose money on convention coverage. They would argue that too many viewers lack interest, and would simply turn to the many cable channels that offer no news coverage at all.
I believe more coverage would equal more interest. Fall is approaching and we're down to the last 10 weeks or so before the election. People are starting to pay attention, and they want to learn more about their choices.
There will be options for those who went extended coverage. Cable networks like Fox News and MSNBC will be camping out at the conventions with round the clock reports. And the major television networks will reportedly be offering a lot more coverage via the Internet.
But, it won't be like the old days, when the big networks that attract the big audiences set everything aside for a few nights every four years, to help Americans begin the process of picking their next president.
The mere fact that the conventions were on every channel conveyed the message that they were indeed important, and voters should pay attention for at least a little while. The public interest was served when that occurred.
It's a dreadful shame that today's voters aren't given the same type of consideration and respect from the national news outlets they depend on for crucial information.

The ubiquitin ligase APC/C(Cdh1) coordinates degradation of key cell cycle regulators. We report here that a nuclear-localized portion of the stress-activated kinase JNK is degraded by the APC/C(Cdh1) during exit from mitosis and the G1 phase of the cell cycle. Expression of a non-degradable JNK induces prometaphase-like arrest and aberrant mitotic spindle dynamics. Moreover, JNK phosphorylates Cdh1 directly, during G2 and early mitosis, changing its subcellular localization and attenuating its ability to activate the APC/C during G2/M. This regulatory mechanism between JNK and Cdh1 reveals an important function for JNK during the cell cycle.

It's been a few days now that Oprah Winfrey's misfortune on the Zürich high-end shopping Bahnhofstrasse has caused lots of emotional air.
Here is the story in a nutshell: Oprah is denied to see a specific bag because "it is too expensive" in the salesperson's opinion. Oprah links this peculiar comment to her being black, thus concluding: it is "racism".
From that thought, she becomes angry and ponders 2 options:
- Buy the whole store: to show the salesperson who she is and what power she has; that's the strong I moment: I am Oprah Winfrey; I am a billionaire; I am a celebrity; Who do you think you are?
- Not buying anything so that the salesperson wouldn't get a commission: that's the anger moment of revenge and punishment.
I was particularly astonished by Oprah's reaction because I often see tweets quoting her clarity and wisdom which I cannot trace any hint of in this story.
There are many plausible motivations for this sales-person to make this comment (not saying that any of them is right or wrong). For example, it could be because of store management directives not to sell this specific item so early in the season or not to sell high-priced items to tourists; it could be that she had just a bad day and was not performing well and that she wasn't very smart.
It didn't have to be racism and it probably was not but it could have been. What really matters, is that Oprah decided it was racism and on that single moment, the idea became reality in her mind. That's the tipping point which triggered all the rest.
The tipping point is the moment we surrender to anger or we decide to step back and not fall.
If we want to set free from the dictates of our unconscious mind, we need to watch for these tipping points and become really familiar with them so that we can spot them amidst all the turmoil that goes in our head when they get triggered.
If Oprah hadn't tipped, she could have stayed detached and choose another experience: for example generating a constructive dialogue and possibly seeing her racist offender with a different view. She simply missed this opportunity.
It takes practice and genuine intention to see squarely into our inner chatters. I wish that we all become so good at spotting the tipping point before tipping that we can stay detached and decide for a free, happy and connected experience.

a number of members seem to have experienced improvement when they eliminate dairy - there are a few threads. good luck.
Ok, I've began supplementing vitamin d, magnesium, vitamin b complex, fish oil, and multivitamin every day. I think that it's helping a bit, but there's still some flareups. I think the reason is because of my excessive eating of nuts -- I probably have about 5-6 full handfuls each day, maybe even more. I've decided to cut down on nuts, or just eliminate it for a week or two and see what happens.
Does anyone have suggestions for replacements? I eat nuts as my snacks from time to time and part of my meals. Is there a good replacement that fills me up and also tastes decently good? Thanks!
(Preferably some with low sugar)

jicama and guacamole is a good snack and gives some crunch factor.
Crunchy veges?
yumm ... haha.
@ Mog I don't think dairy's my problem .. i have kefir all the time and i only get flareups whenever i eat too much of one thing (ex. nuts)
Have you tried zinc? I remember reading that zinc deficiency causes acne.
i get it as part of my multivitamin, not a whole ton but enough. i don't think that it's vitamin deficiency to be honest, i'm just taking vitamin b to help cool it down a bit. it's mostly food i think.
Inflammation can cause acne, so too many nuts could certainly be causing you problems. Instead of snack replacements, breaking out of the habit of needing to be eating all the time (which is psychological) is better.
Also, I recommend this often, if you can swim in salt water. It will really help clear your skin up. And it is also good for your hair.
ehhh, i tried coconut milk for awhile but I don't really like the taste of it by itself. I tried adding pumpkin to it too and it tasted ... ehhh... yeah .. lol

Greg Duckett read a recent posting about a cyclocross clinic in Madison and my thoughts of cross-country skiing and correctly sent a reminder that the second half of the Wisconsin Off Road Series is just beginning.
There's no need to dig out the long-sleeved jerseys when the racing on Sunday will be contested in the heat and on the hills at the Crystal Ridge ski area in Franklin.
The sixth Alterra Coffee Bean Classic will give mountain bike racers a chance for a fresh start after a two-week break in the 12-race off-road series. And there's plenty of competition for the coveted category championships and podium places.
The Lalonde brothers, Marko and Jesse, are dueling with Brian Matter for the top spots in the elite male group, while Anne Grabowski, Holly Liske and Abigail Strigel are separated by fewer than 40 points in the women's top category.
Age group competitions in the citizen, sport, comp and elite categories also remain far from settled.
Duckett himself will lose a bit of ground in the comp clydesdale grouping, where he holds 4th place.
"Race directors don't race," he said firmly.
As the chief organizer, he'll miss out on the six miles of single track and long climbs at the ski hill, which recently hosted a 100-mile event as part of the Wisconsin Endurance Mountain Bike Series.
Nobody racing the Coffee Bean will be asked to suffer that much. The citizens will cover 10 miles, the sport class 15, comp has 20 and the elite men 25.
"The single track (using the Milwaukee County Alpha Trail) is different than what anybody else is going to do," Duckett said. "You have an off-road race in the most populated county in the state, which I always thought was kind of neat."
The Alterra team hosted nearly 700 riders in the 2006 event and is expecting about 750 this go-round.

Girls basketball ramps up for season, welcomes new JV coach
The Lady Pirates will begin practicing Nov. 17, in preparation for their upcoming 2008/2009 campaign.
The Pirate basketball team is coming off one of its best seasons in school history — taking a share of the league title, winning a game at state and finishing 11th overall for the year.
With three returning starters and a strong group of up-and-coming underclassman, the team anticipates being a strong title contender again this year.
A new JV coach was recently hired. Jen Schmithorst is a native of Cincinnati, Ohio, where she played high school basketball.
She graduated from the University of Alabama and is currently working for LDM Worldwide, a local television production company.
Schmithorst said she is excited to get back into coaching after previously coaching some middle school basketball.
"Jen has a real passion for the game, and I feel that her knowlege and skills will benefit the girls in the program," said coach Henry Porter.
There is a preseason girls' interest meeting at the high school on Wednesday, Nov. 12. The first practice will be at 5 p.m. Monday, Nov. 17, at the high school gym.
All paperwork must be turned in before the first practice.
"I hope we see a lot of girls turn out this year," Porter said. "We've had tremendous success in the last couple of years with this program. I, coach Means and new coach Schmithorst are very excited about teaching the game of basketball to all girls who turn out, and we will be looking forward to seeing old and new faces in the gym this season."

The options for live music in New Orleans on Wednesday, Oct. 16 include a free show with a favorite local rock band, the local arena debut of a folk-rock band, a swamp blues and soul band from Florida, and a contemporary R&B/soul singer.
The Revivalists, Lafayette Square, 5 p.m.
The weekly Harvest the Music series downtown in Lafayette Square continues with another great double bill of local music: Hard-touring melodic rock/jam band the Revivalists, and swamp-funk guitarist Papa Mali.
The Lumineers, Lakefront Arena, 7:30 p.m.
It's a good time to be a slightly offbeat, acoustic-based, suspenders-wearing folk-rock band. Less than two years after the release of their self-titled debut, Denver's Lumineers have graduated from small clubs to mid-size arenas, thanks in part to the breakthrough single "Hey Ho." The Lumineers headline the Lakefront Arena, with Dr. Dog opening the show.
JJ Grey & Mofro, Civic Theatre, 8 p.m.
Singer, guitarist and songwriter JJ Grey is the Jacksonville, Flor., equivalent of Eric Lindell, i.e. a slightly sandpapered, soulful singer who blurs the lines between soul, blues, funk and rock. He and his band, Mofro, earned a following on the jam band circuit on the strength of their shows, but also deliver hearty, highly listenable albums set in the pine woods of his native north Florida. Grey and company are touring in support of their most recent Alligator Records release, "This River."
Raheem Devaughn, House of Blues, 8 p.m.
Raheem Devaughn is a self-described "R&B hippie neo-soul rock star" who, at one point in his career, was not opposed to wearing a cape and crown onstage. Part singer-songwriter, part contemporary R&B/soul crooner and all showman, he released his fourth studio album, "A Place Called Love Land," in September.

Here we are at one of the final weekends of summer and once again, timing couldn't be better for pleasant Canadian air and sunshine.
High pressure builds in for the weekend. Dew point temperatures will range from the upper 40s to mid 50s Saturday. This will provide us with some chilly morning low temperatures near 50 in most areas during the weekend. Sunshine will quickly warm us into the 70s midday.
Keep the sun gear handy and plan the outdoor activities. August really doesn't get much better than what you'll find this weekend as we continue to lose 3 min. of daylight each day now.
This Eve.: Mainly clear and pleasant. Diminishing wind. 65-75.
Tonight: Stars & moonlight. Low near 52.
Saturday: Sunny and pleasant. Highs 78.
Sunday: Sun and clouds. Pleasant. High near 80.

Up 6.4 percent (average)
Zillow also joined the chorus declaring an end to tumbling home prices nationwide. U.S. home values, by the company's measure, saw their first year-over-year increase in the year's second quarter -- though by only 0.2 percent.
"After four months with rising home values and increasingly positive forecast data, it seems clear that the country has hit a bottom in home values," said Stan Humphries, the firm's chief economist. "The housing recovery is holding together despite lower-than-expected job growth, indicating that it has some organic strength of its own."
Zillow's business model is based on its proprietary Zestimate algorithm, which guesses at a home's value based on recent comparable sales. Those numbers are used in aggregate to measure changes in the value of all homes, not just those that have recently sold.
Zillow puts the Portland area median home value at $212,800.
The company also said it projects home values in the Portland area will rise 4.3 percent over the next year. Nationwide, it expects home prices to gain 1.1 percent over the same period.

Name That Tune…Brewers Edition: 2013 Player Entrance Music
If you were at any of the Exhibition Games this weekend, along with taking in the new changes around the ballpark, you might have found yourself taking in some new music as well, especially as our players walked up to the plate, or our pitchers entered the games.
For players, this is often an important decision. What brief part of a song is going to send a message to the fans—and what do I want that message to be? Do I keep the same song that I had last year? What's the hit that is going to produce the most hits? Is it a superstitious thing, do I want fans to sing along, or do I just use my favorite song right now?
And, it's a big deal because sometimes, fans might not remember your exact career batting average or ERA with the team, but they just might remember your at-bat song.
Take these blasts from the past, for instance, which were very distinctive and will probably always stick out–in my mind, at least–as being associated with a certain player at a certain time: Tyler Houston using Baha Men's "Who Let the Dogs Out" (2001); Frank Catalanotto and Mark Kotsay using The Outfield's "Your Love" (2009; 2011—"Josie's on a vacation far away…."); or Brooks Kieschnick entering the game to George Strait's "Cowboys Like Us" (2004).
So, if you're like me and you're attuned to the tunes, you'll probably enjoy seeing this list—and updating your iPod playlists accordingly.
DID YOU KNOW? Make sure you download the free MLB At The Ballpark App! In addition to check-in offers, ballpark maps, game updates and more, one of the really cool features is "Ballpark Music." Like a song you hear? Check it out on At The Ballpark–and you can even download it right there! No Shazam necessary!

In case you weren't aware, in addition to At The Ballpark, we do keep a list of these songs on brewers.com and try our best to update it accordingly, so you might want to bookmark this page for future reference. Last year, I also took most of these songs and turned then into a personal playlist on Spotify. I'm going to try to keep it updated during the season, so join me in listening if you're like!
So now, what about you? What's your favorite, or most memorable Brewers at-bat song? And, if you were a player, what song might you choose as yours?

INCLUDES, AUTOLOAD, BYTECODE CACHES and OPTIMIZATION The Problem ----------- HTML Purifier contains a number of extra components that are not used all of the time, only if the user explicitly specifies that we should use them. Some of these optional components are optionally included (Filter, Language, Lexer, Printer), while others are included all the time (Injector, URIFilter, HTMLModule, URIScheme). We will stipulate that these are all developer specified: it is conceivable that certain Tokens are not used, but this is user-dependent and should not be trusted. We should come up with a consistent way to handle these things and ensure that we get the maximum performance when there is bytecode caches and when there are not. Unfortunately, these two goals seem contrary to each other. A peripheral issue is the performance of ConfigSchema, which has been shown take a large, constant amount of initialization time, and is intricately linked to the issue of includes due to its pervasive use in our plugin architecture. Pros and Cons ------------- We will assume that user-based extensions will be included by them. Conditional includes: Pros: - User management is simplified; only a single directive needs to be set - Only necessary code is included Cons: - Doesn't play nicely with opcode caches - Adds complexity to standalone version - Optional configuration directives are not exposed without a little extra coaxing (not implemented yet) Include it all: Pros: - User management is still simple - Plays nicely with opcode caches and standalone version - All configuration directives are present Cons: - Lots of (how much?) extra code is included - Classes that inherit from external libraries will cause compile errors Build an include stub (Let's do this!): Pros: - Only necessary code is included - Plays nicely with opcode caches and standalone version - require (without once) can be used, see above - Could further extend as a compilation to one file Cons: - Not implemented yet - Requires user intervention and use of a command line script - Standalone script must be chained to this - More complex and compiled-language-like - Requires a whole new class of system-wide configuration directives, as configuration objects can be reused - Determining what needs to be included can be complex (see above) - No way of autodetecting dynamically instantiated classes - Might be slow Include stubs ------------- This solution may be "just right" for users who are heavily oriented towards performance. However, there are a number of picky implementation details to work out beforehand. The number one concern is how to make the HTML Purifier files "work out of the box", while still being able to easily get them into a form that works with this setup. As the codebase stands right now, it would be necessary to strip out all of the require_once calls. The only way we could get rid of the require_once calls is to use __autoload or use the stub for all cases (which might not be a bad idea). Aside ----- An important thing to remember, however, is that these require_once's are valuable data about what classes a file needs. Unfortunately, there's no distinction between whether or not the file is needed all the time, or whether or not it is one of our "optional" files. Thus, it is effectively useless. Deprecated ---------- One of the things I'd like to do is have the code search for any classes that are explicitly mentioned in the code. If a class isn't mentioned, I get to assume that it is "optional," i.e. included via introspection. The choice is either to use PHP's tokenizer or use regexps; regexps would be faster but a tokenizer would be more correct. If this ends up being unfeasible, adding dependency comments isn't a bad idea. (This could even be done automatically by search/replacing require_once, although we'd have to manually inspect the results for the optional requires.) NOTE: This ends up not being necessary, as we're going to make the user figure out all the extra classes they need, and only include the core which is predetermined. Using the autoload framework with include stubs works nicely with introspective classes: instead of having to have require_once inside the function, we can let autoload do the work; we simply need to new $class or accept the object straight from the caller. Handling filters becomes a simple matter of ticking off configuration directives, and if ConfigSchema spits out errors, adding the necessary includes. We could also use the autoload framework as a fallback, in case the user forgets to make the include, but doesn't really care about performance. Insight ------- All of this talk is merely a natural extension of what our current standalone functionality does. However, instead of having our code perform the includes, or attempting to inline everything that possibly could be used, we boot the issue to the user, making them include everything or setup the fallback autoload handler. Configuration Schema -------------------- A common deficiency for all of the conditional include setups (including the dynamically built include PHP stub) is that if one of this conditionally included files includes a configuration directive, it is not accessible to configdoc. A stopgap solution for this problem is to have it piggy-back off of the data in the merge-library.php script to figure out what extra files it needs to include, but if the file also inherits classes that don't exist, we're in big trouble. I think it's high time we centralized the configuration documentation. However, the type checking has been a great boon for the library, and I'd like to keep that. The compromise is to use some other source, and then parse it into the ConfigSchema internal format (sans all of those nasty documentation strings which we really don't need at runtime) and serialize that for future use. The next question is that of format. XML is very verbose, and the prospect of setting defaults in it gives me willies. However, this may be necessary. Splitting up the file into manageable chunks may alleviate this trouble, and we may be even want to create our own format optimized for specifying configuration. It might look like (based off the PHPT format, which is nicely compact yet unambiguous and human-readable): Core.HiddenElements TYPE: lookup DEFAULT: array('script', 'style') // auto-converted during processing --ALIASES-- Core.InvisibleElements, Core.StupidElements --DESCRIPTION--
Blah blahThe first line is the directive name, the lines after that prior to the first --HEADER-- block are single-line values, and then after that the multiline values are there. No value is restricted to a particular format: DEFAULT could very well be multiline if that would be easier. This would make it insanely easy, also, to add arbitrary extra parameters, like: VERSION: 3.0.0 ALLOWED: 'none', 'light', 'medium', 'heavy' // this is wrapped in array() EXTERNAL: CSSTidy // this would be documented somewhere else with a URL The final loss would be that you wouldn't know what file the directive was used in; with some clever regexps it should be possible to figure out where $config->get($ns, $d); occurs. Reflective calls to the configuration object is mitigated by the fact that getBatch is used, so we can simply talk about that in the namespace definition page. This might be slow, but it would only happen when we are creating the documentation for consumption, and is sugar. We can put this in a schema/ directory, outside of HTML Purifier. The serialized data gets treated like entities.ser. The final thing that needs to be handled is user defined configurations. They can be added at runtime using ConfigSchema::registerDirectory() which globs the directory and grabs all of the directives to be incorporated in. Then, the result is saved. We may want to take advantage of the DefinitionCache framework, although it is not altogether certain what configuration directives would be used to generate our key (meta-directives!) Further thoughts ---------------- Our master configuration schema will only need to be updated once every new version, so it's easily versionable. User specified schema files are far more volatile, but it's far too expensive to check the filemtimes of all the files, so a DefinitionRev style mechanism works better. However, we can uniquely identify the schema based on the directories they loaded, so there's no need for a DefinitionId until we give them full programmatic control. These variables should be directly incorporated into ConfigSchema, and ConfigSchema should handle serialization. Some refactoring will be necessary for the DefinitionCache classes, as they are built with Config in mind. If the user changes something, the cache file gets rebuilt. If the version changes, the cache file gets rebuilt. Since our unit tests flush the caches before we start, and the operation is pretty fast, this will not negatively impact unit testing. One last thing: certain configuration directives require that files get added. They may even be specified dynamically. It is not a good idea for the HTMLPurifier_Config object to be used directly for such matters. Instead, the userland code should explicitly perform the includes. We may put in something like: REQUIRES: HTMLPurifier_Filter_ExtractStyleBlocks To indicate that if that class doesn't exist, and the user is attempting to use the directive, we should fatally error out. The stub includes the core files, and the user includes everything else. Any reflective things like new $class would be required to tie in with the configuration. It would work very well with rarely used configuration options, but it wouldn't be so good for "core" parts that can be disabled. In such cases the core include file would need to be modified, and the only way to properly do this is use the configuration object. Once again, our ability to create cache keys saves the day again: we can create arbitrary stub files for arbitrary configurations and include those. They could even be the single file affairs. The only thing we'd need to include, then, would be HTMLPurifier_Config! Then, the configuration object would load the library. An aside... ----------- One questions, however, the wisdom of letting PHP files write other PHP files. It seems like a recipe for disaster, or at least lots of headaches in highly secured setups, where PHP does not have the ability to write to its root. In such cases, we could use sticky bits or tell the user to manually generate the file. The other troublesome bit is actually doing the calculations necessary. For certain cases, it's simple (such as URIScheme), but for AttrDef and HTMLModule the dependency trees are very complex in relation to %HTML.Allowed and friends. I think that this idea should be shelved and looked at a later, less insane date. An interesting dilemma presents itself when a configuration form is offered to the user. Normally, the configuration object is not accessible without editing PHP code; this facility changes thing. The sensible thing to do is stipulate that all classes required by the directives you allow must be included. Unit testing ------------ Setting up the parsing and translation into our existing format would not be difficult to do. It might represent a good time for us to rethink our tests for these facilities; as creative as they are, they are often hacky and require public visibility for things that ought to be protected. This is especially applicable for our DefinitionCache tests. Migration --------- Because we are not *adding* anything essentially new, it should be trivial to write a script to take our existing data and dump it into the new format. Well, not trivial, but fairly easy to accomplish. Primary implementation difficulties would probably involve formatting the file nicely. Backwards-compatibility ----------------------- I expect that the ConfigSchema methods should stick around for a little bit, but display E_USER_NOTICE warnings that they are deprecated. This will require documentation! New stuff --------- VERSION: Version number directive was introduced DEPRECATED-VERSION: If the directive was deprecated, when was it deprecated? DEPRECATED-USE: If the directive was deprecated, what should the user use now? REQUIRES: What classes does this configuration directive require, but are not part of the HTML Purifier core? vim: et sw=4 sts=4

To answer the question: no. I don't think they are really needed. In my personal experience, I have never felt the need for them, and I don't look down upon (maybe just slightly down) upon anyone who doesn't wear them either.
To answer the question: no. I don't think they are really needed. In my personal experience, I have never felt the need for them, and I don't look down upon (maybe just slightly down) upon anyone who doesn't wear them either.
Well it's looking like if I continue on with this Primal thing I may need a bra even less then I do now. LOL It's been 2 weeks and I just took my measurements. The scale says very little weight loss but the measuring tape and pants say otherwise. About 2 inches from my hips, almost an inch off my bicep (will be nice to see that underarm flab disappear) and 1 inch off my chest. Pooh on the chest. Why can't it come off my thighs first? Leave the girls alone. LOL Anyways before I got chunky my size was smaller so I guess it's inevitable.... (sigh)
I don't care if bras are primal or not - well DUH they aren't, but very few clothes are - bras are comfy, and when you're a 36F and naturally droopy, there are NO clothes that are going to fit and look halfway decent if you don't wear one.
Plastic surgery isn't primal either, but once I'm sure I'm done having kids, I'm going to get them shrunk up a bit. I always thought that "Primal" was all about taking the beneficial parts of modern life (like medical advances and indoor plumbing) and combining that with diet, exercise and lifestyle choices that enhance health rather than detracting from it. I'm sure the cave ladies got along nicely with their saggies, and I see a lot of topless African hunter-gatherers on documentaries with boobs like mine - but I don't live in a climate where topless is a viable option, most of the time (it is legal though) and braless under clothing just isn't comfortable.
After going 4 straight years in a bra 24/7 (between pregnancy and childbirth--from 2004 to 2008), I now psychologically need a bra 24/7, usually a sports bra. I'm 40, and my 'girls' are pretty firm for my age, despite breastfeeding each kid for about 14 months. I'm not sure that bras do anything to prevent or cause sagging. I think it's got to be a personal choice on whether you wear one, and it'll also depend on where you are. I can't imagine not wearing a bra to the office. The air conditioning is cold there!
Your book club may have scintillating discussions. But my book club can drink your book club under the table.
Bev I know what you mean. I was an A before kids (and before gaining any weight). I had 4 kids and nursed them over a year each. I had so much extra milk that I donated also. Now at 54 I am B and they are better then ever. As far as the original question...humm what was the question....LOL. Oh well, I wear one in public but the minute I get home the girls are free to be "primal". If I have clients come to the house then yes one goes back on.
I hate bras and haven't worn one since the late seventies. My breasts are not huge, but they're not tiny either. I don't know what size they are because I don't wear bras!
As far as droopiness goes, I am 57 and my breasts are not very droopy. They still kind of stick out.
I also had no nipple soreness or cracking during breastfeeding, I think because my nipples were already "tough" from not being encased inside a bra for years.
This is my piece on whether anything in the modern world is primal or not. The only things that would be considered "primal" would be the foods they ate, the little bit of clothing they probably wore, the weapons/tools they used for hunting/gathering and the water they drank. Other than it, isn't primal. We are a modern society so birth control, bras, cars, etc are not primal but we have them readily available to humanity as a whole. That is why we are a modern society.
@Sigi- So body armor and safety glasses? Safety glass should cover the eyes for #2. ;-) You should like you have bladed nipples.

I heard the bursts of gunfire near my house in Monterrey as I was showering this morning. Then the ambulance sirens started wailing, and as I drove my kids to school about 20 minutes later, a convoy of green-clad soldiers, their assault rifles at the ready, sped by us. In northern Mexico, where I cover the drug war, it has become a part of life to read about, hear and even witness shootouts, but today I shuddered at the thought: what if those soldiers accidentally ever shot at me?

Food Marketers Want Your Children | KCET
Food Marketers Want Your Children
Let's say you have a child. It can be a boy or girl.
Let's say that they're right around the ages of six or seven, right when they're starting to talk to other kids at school and already know the basics about how to navigate a computer, how to use the mouse, how to begin hunting and pecking away at the keyboard. Now, before you start thinking about getting them situated with the Internet, you're certainly going to take the proper precautions by blocking access to certain websites, and maybe even standing over their shoulder to make sure a typo doesn't lead astray from SesameStreet.com to something more sensual and ... European.
Now, imagine that one of those websites, the ones you're trying to keep them away from, actually bought some ad space on one of the pre-approved websites, to the point where if you're heading over to SpongeBob headquarters or The Adventures Of Whoever's Big On The Disney Channel Now, your kids are still being subject to that. That'd be pretty bad, right?
Well, that's basically what corporate food's pulling.
The week before Christmas, the FTC released a study on the marketing habits of food companies, the first such study since 2006. And the findings are a bit disturbing.
Whereas the ad spending from food companies is actually down 19.5% since the last study, what's the problem is exactly where they've decided to place that cash. Instead of going the traditional media route like commercials in TV shows (places that parents have a good grasp of how to hide them if they want to focus on keeping their kids from wanting unhealthy snacks) they've decided to place a bulk of their ad buy in the online realm. Which only makes sense. That's the way the world is going after all. But rather than placing ads all around the entirety of the Internet, on sites like CNN.com or ESPN where they'll mostly hit the parents, they're focusing on placing the ads on "child-oriented" websites.
Now you know why your child suddenly has a hankering for, specifically, Doritos.
And it's not because they got into Papa's "medicine that smells like skunks." It's because these junk food ad companies, as always, know that when it comes to certain foods like cereals or chips or sodas or peanut butter or anything at all, kids are generally the deciders. If a parent can find a food that their child will not only tolerate, but actually request, well that's a no-brainer at the grocery store. The FTC study spells this out:
That it's effective means they'll keep doing it. Which is another way of saying, don't expect this to stop. Food companies will keep trying to get into your child's mind as they always have. So if you, a parent, think that you're being diligent about what advertising messages get to your kids just by monitoring their TV viewing, you're really only doing half the job.
