Peralta talks weight, declines comment on Bosch report
Jhonny Peralta opted to let last week's statement from his attorney stand in regards to the SI.com report from earlier this month that his name was found in the records of Anthony Bosch and the Biogenesis clinic in Miami.
"I don't have any comment for that," Peralta said Wednesday afternoon. "I talked to my lawyer already, and I don't have [any] comment. We can talk about this year coming up."
Peralta's attorney, Barry Boss, released a statement soon after the SI.com report. The statement quoted Peralta saying, "I have never used performance-enhancing drugs. Period. Anybody who says otherwise is lying."
That was the one topic on which he declined comment. Everything else was open, including questions about his weight and his range. Peralta said he's down to 215 pounds, compared with 227 last spring, and he could lose a few more before Opening Day.
"If I can be 210, it's better for me," Peralta said, "so I'm working out for that."
The weight loss came partly at the suggestion of Tigers president/general manager Dave Dombrowski, Peralta said, and partly from himself.
"I worked [out] in the Dominican Republic," Peralta said. "I have a strength trainer over there, and I'm working really hard this year to be how I've been [in the past]. I've lost about 20 pounds. I feel really good."
Peralta said he also has a chef who has changed his diet. He stopped short of the cliche that he's in the best shape of his life, but he said he's in good enough shape that he felt a difference immediately once he started taking ground balls.
"I feel quicker," Peralta said. "I feel lighter. Taking ground balls today in the field, I feel I've got a better move side to side."
His goal is to stay at shortstop as he heads into the next phase of his career. He'll turn 31 in May.
Morning notes: Don't dismiss Pena's potential role
Had a good talk this morning with backup catcher Brayan Pena, who discussed his defection from Cuba as a teenager while he was playing in a tournament in Venezuela, and later becoming an American citizen and settling in nearby Kissimmee. It's an amazing journey he has been through, and joining a team with championship aspirations is the next chapter.
Jim Leyland said he talked with Pena yesterday. He said he has admired Pena's game from afar the last several years, but hadn't really talked much with him.
"He's got a good feel for things," Leyland said.
With a relatively young, but veteran switch-hitting catcher backing up Avila, it's a good situation for the Tigers to have, and it's one that kind of fell to them. They went into the offseason planning on Bryan Holaday backing up Avila, but wanting an insurance option (like what Omir Santos was) in case of injury. As it turns out, finding a veteran catcher willing to sign a minor-league deal with a contending team was tougher than finding a veteran catcher willing to sign a reasonable Major League deal to be a backup. And the Tigers liked Pena, so they changed course.
"We feel pretty good about our situation," Leyland said, noting they still like Holaday a lot.
A scout who tracked the Royals quite a bit last year said this winter that Pena is a great pickup if he's playing a couple days week and not every day. If he's getting that kind of work and Alex Avila is catching 4-5 times a week, I think that's a mix they'd take.
Other notes from this morning:
- Ramon Santiago has reported to camp after playing winter ball well into January for Escogido in the Dominican League. It's something the Tigers wanted him to do after he skipped winter ball last offseason and then struggled for much of the 2012 season. Between a good winter campaign and a tweak to his offseason workouts, he says he's lighter than he was a year ago and feels more mobile. He plans to do moreagility work this spring with strength and conditioning coach Javair Gillett. Though nobody has said Santiago is guaranteed a roster spot out of camp, and there were rumors the Tigers were gauging trade interest for Santiago at the Winter Meetings in December, I think it would take an awful spring for Santiago to be cut. Leyland knows what he has with him, and he'd love to get the Santiago he had in 2011.
- Leyland hasn't eliminated Casey Crosby from consideration for a bullpen spot, but he plans on stretching out Crosby as a starter this spring and going from there. "We think he's a top prospect," Leyland said. "And who knows?"
- While Leyland has his annual warning against reading too much from bullpen sessions, he did say he liked the sliders that Rick Porcello was throwing in his session yesterday. It's a pitch he has been working on with pitching coach Jeff Jones, and might be the biggest benefit from the general mechanical work they've put in.
- Leyland on Bruce Rondon: "He seems to have a good personality. He doesn't seem to be star struck."
More pitchers fielding practice this morning. Leyland is hitting ground balls to pitchers, which means at some point Justin Verlander is going to dare Leyland to try to hit a ground ball by him.

ROCKFORD -- With plans to open a Merrell store in San Francisco and a Hush Puppies store recently launched outside London, Wolverine World Wide Inc. is continuing to raise its profile globally.
That is helping the Rockford shoe marketers' bottom line. The company -- which designs and sells eight brands -- reported Wednesday its 24th consecutive quarter of record results.
Revenues were $267.4 million in the quarter ended June 14, a 6.8 percent increase over revenues of $250.3 million for the same quarter last year.
Profits climbed to $16.8 million, an 8.4 percent increase over $15.5 million last year. Earnings per share grew 17.9 percent to 33 cents per shares over 28 cents per share in the second quarter of 2007, beating analysts' average of 31 cents per share.
In a conference call with analysts, Wolverine expects revenue growth in the second half of the year to be lower than the first half.
Wolverine affirmed -- but didn't raise -- its full-year outlook, which calls for earnings per share of $1.83 to $1.90 and revenues of $1.23 billion to $1.26 billion.
Forecast spooks investors
That forecast apparently spooked investors. Shares plummeted $3.53 -- or 13.3 percent -- to close Wednesday at $23.04 on the New York Stock Exchange.
The company's portfolio includes Bates, Hush Puppies, Hytest, Merrell, Sebago and Wolverine, and it is the exclusive footwear licensee of CAT, Harley-Davidson and Patagonia. Wolverine products are carried by retailers in nearly 200 countries and territories.
Sales increased across all global regions, said Blake W. Krueger, the company's chief executive officer and president.
The company's benefits from a weak U.S. dollar and strong Euro were offset by increased product and freight costs, said Don Grimes, the company's new chief financial officer.
He credited a 7 percent reduction in inventory levels over last year to the success of an inventory-management program implemented in the second quarter.
The company repurchased 209,700 shares of stock in the quarter for $5.9 million and ended the second quarter with a cash balance of $77.9 million, Grimes said.
This year, three Hush Puppies stores opened in New York and the company opened its first value retail store in Braintree, England, an hour northwest of London. International licensees added 26 shops in the quarter, bringing the worldwide total to more than 685.
In the second quarter, new Sebago brand concept stores opened in Cairo, Egypt; Cannes, France; and Oslo, Norway, bringing those to 30, the company reported.
There are plans for further expansion this year.
In North America, Merrell continues to be Wolverine's strongest brand with solid double digit gain. The first company-owned U.S. flagship store is opening in San Francisco in this quarter, with additional store openings this year in Portland, Ore., and Birmingham, Ala.
The conference call can be heard at wolverineworldwide.com through July 23.

I gave this wig 5 stars when I first got it before washing it. After washing it I am giving it 2. This wig turned into a total rat's nest. Tangled and super frizzy and bushy. I have had other human hair wigs and know it takes some time to style them after washing but this is just ridiculous. I spent 3 hours trying to straighten and flatten it down and it still does not look anything like it did when I got it. Also, the hair is falling out like crazy. Very disappointing.
Love it!
I was so happy with how great this wig looks. It is comfortable and looks like real hair, not wiggy at all. The color was lighter than I expected but still gorgeous. I ordered medium brown but it is brown with light highlights. I would absolutely recommend this wig to anyone wanting to feel beautiful and confident in a wig! Worth every penny and was delivered within a week of ordering.
this is my first human hair wig after wearing synthetic wigs for over a year, and its simply fabulous. i cant believe how realistic it looks. everyone thinks its my own hair!

GRAND RAPIDS — Motorists can heave a half-hearted sigh of relief as gas prices are expected to fall early this week after hitting $3.99 late last, according to a fuel analyst for GasBuddy.com.
Analyst Patrick DeHaan said gas prices already have started falling in Grand Rapids this morning, with some stations offering fuel for $3.82 per gallon.
Most gas stations still at the $3.99 this morning by and large will drop prices to remain competitive, DeHaan said, but Grand Rapids-area motorists should only expect fuel prices to dip to the mid-$3.80 to $3.90 range within the next 72 hours.
"It's ridiculous, it really is. Prices have risen virtually 70 cents in the last month," DeHaan said.
"I haven't looked, but it is likely one of the quickest increases, one of the most significant increases we've seen in the timeframe of a month," he said. "It's ridiculous."
It is difficult, DeHaan said, to predict where prices will go in the long-term, but the volatile market could rally to put gas at or slightly above $4 leading up to Memorial Day.
Related coverage: Gas prices could top $4 per gallon by May, analysts say
DeHaan said prices could rise, say, on news of better-than-expected improvement in the economy overall. Investors also seem a bit squeamish because of continued diplomatic tensions with Iran, he said.
Prices are up more than 40 cents from this time last year in Grand Rapids, when the average price was $3.53 per gallon, DeHaan said.
"Oftentimes, when we see a tremendous rise so quickly, we see the market take a breather," he said. "It wouldn't be a shock to see the prices bounce around in the upper $3 range."

New Perry Heights gym has special mural inside painted by the principal
Nearly 16 years after a Perry Heights Middle School student first shared a design for a mural of the school's mascot, a panther, with Principal Charles Goodman, the mural is finally at home in the school's new gymnasium.
Goodman first saw the panther head design in 1998 as he and Perry Heights eighth grader Heath Howington were designing T-shirts.
Goodman, who taught art for 13 years at Plaza Park International Prep Academy before being named Perry Heights principal 25 years ago, had anticipated painting the mascot design a lot sooner than this year. But it took years longer than expected for the western Vanderburgh County school to get a new gym.
In fact, construction of the gym, originally scheduled to be completed by the start of this school year, isn't expected to wrap up until mid-September. And that posed a few problems for Goodman, the artist.
Between construction and the floor contractors doing work, Goodman had two days to complete the painting on a 14-foot-by-14-foot canvas built of drywall. He needed a scissor lift, and that couldn't be in the way of the floor contractors.
The painting uses positive/negative space with no shading and is on a solid blue background. Goodman credits the design to Howington, but said it slightly resembles the Florida Panthers Hockey Team logo.
"Here we are, several years later, and we're using Heath's design," Goodman said. "I haven't told him yet. I used it a few years ago for a T-shirt and called and got his permission, and he was delighted. So I was hoping he wouldn't mind."
Despite having a few "late nights" at the school, Goodman didn't seem to mind.
"Oh, it's in my blood," he said. "I haven't done anything like this for a while. I painted one in our old gym sometime ago, but I was a little nervous about it. To spend $3 million dollars on a new gym, I certainly didn't want to make it look ugly with my work."
Until the Evansville Vanderburgh School Board approved the construction last August, Perry Heights was the only EVSC middle school without a competition-sized gym. The school, currently serving about 400 students in grades 6-8, was built in 1939 and, according to officials, hadn't changed much since some work in 1989.
The initial contract for the 14,473-foot gym, awarded to ARC Construction Co. Inc., of Evansville, was for $2.8 million. But since construction began, some change orders have been approved by the school board. Funding for the gym is contained in the district's capital projects budget.
Goodman said he hadn't plan to sign the painting because the design belongs to Howington, but after assistant principal Darrin Carnahan brought several art students to the gym to watch Goodman work, they talked him into it.
"Those that have seen it said I need to sign it, so I'm going to sign it," Goodman said. But Heath should be the one signing it. I just executed it."
So on Thursday morning, Carnahan held the ladder while Goodman climbed up to sign his last name and 2014 with a black paint marker.
The Perry Heights community is excited for the new gym, Goodman said, and everyone that has visited the progress is "in love" with it.
"I think some of my buddies at some of the other schools are going to be a little bit jealous when they see some of the amenities that we were able to get," he smiled and said. "So in my opinion, they saved the best for last."
Those amenities will include bleacher seating for 644 people, locker rooms, restrooms and an intercom system. Additional parking, about 80 spots, is also planned in the north and south lots. It will also include a concession stand, home and visitor locker rooms with 21 double-tiered lockers, an elevator to connect the school's main and lower levels, energy efficient lights.
Goodman was also proud to point out the movie screen that scrolls down in front of the mural, a built-in projector and automatic blackout blinds near the windows that share a wall with the screen.
Having only a small, noncompetition gym means day-to-day scheduling can be difficult because it is used for lunch periods, physical education classes and sports practices and if there is inclement weather. The existing gym still will be used for practices, allowing two programs to practice at the same time. The music program at Perry Heights continues to expand, and Goodman said it outgrew the auditorium and is quickly outgrowing the seating capacity of the current gym. So the new gym will benefit a wide array of activities.

text: Preventing Household PoisoningsAlmost all poisonings happen in homes, and more than half involve children younger than age 6.The following steps can help you prevent a poisoning in your home:Never leave small children alone in a room with cleaning, cosmetic, or medical products. A child can quickly and easily pull allergy pills from a purse or a drain cleaner from a grocery bag.Keep alcohol and tobacco products out of reach. Both can cause long-term physical damage or death if swallowed by a child.Keep medications, vitamins, and herbal remedies put away. Vitamin pills that contain iron can kill a child. Many medications are mildly to highly toxic. Some like heart medication, blood thinners, chemotherapeutic agents, and others, can kill a child.Be sure you give a child the right dose of the right medication. Overdosing can cause serious reactions.Remove poisonous plants. Caladium, castor bean plant (one bean can kill a child), elephant's ear, philodendron, mistletoe, holly, and dieffenbachia can cause skin irritation, vomiting, diarrhea, confusion, and other side effects if eaten by children.Check gas-powered appliances regularly for carbon monoxide leaks and make sure you have working carbon monoxide detectors in your home.Check for hazardsCheck these locations in your home for dangerous products. Store the following poisonous products securely:Garage. Antifreeze, windshield cleaner, gasoline, charcoal lighter, pesticides, fertilizers, garden chemicals, fungicides, and flea and pest powder.Bedrooms. Cosmetics, cologne, hair spray, nail polish and remover, mothballs, medications, and vitamins.Bathroom or laundry room. Pine oil, drain and toilet cleaners, bleach, disinfectants, detergents, and aerosol sprays.Kitchen. Insect killer, metal polish, alcohol, dishwashing detergent, and oven cleaner.Home workshop. Solder, lead, cadmium, formaldehyde, solvents, paint, and paint thinner.Cover your basesDon't rely on just 1 poison control measure. For safety's sake:Store harmful products out of sight and reach.Keep products in their original containers. For example, never store bleach or toxic liquids in milk bottles.Use products only for their intended purposes.In an emergencyIf your child swallows a poison:Don't panic.Call 911 or your local emergency number, or a poison control center: 800-222-1222.Read the label of the swallowed product to the medical specialist.Follow the instructions of the medical personnel exactly. Don't make your child throw up. Vomiting can cause further damage if lye, dishwashing detergents, drain cleaners, paint thinners, and certain other substances were swallowed.

They specifically don't cover semiconductor devices > although BGE Home offers a $10K insurance when these are installed which > covers TVs, etc. > Sturdy white goods? Interesting turn of phrase.. Sturdy appliances don't need much in the way of surge protection. A number of studies have shown that most household appliances can take 1-2 kV spikes that are short without too much trouble. The transformer in the usual wall-wart, for instance, provides common mode isolation, and has enough inductance that differential mode spikes don't get through. (although, there's the whole interwinding capacitance thing...) Anyway.. The big problem is what's called "swell": a relatively long duration higher than normal voltage, which basically cooks any MOV that has too aggressively low threshold voltage. And of course, the cheap surge protectors have low voltages because that sounds good to the customer (ours clamps at 140V unlike those inferior 170V clamps) If you have a problem with the neutral in the feeder (not all that uncommon, as it happens) you could easily wind up with a slight overvoltage on one side or the other, just enough to get those MOVs nice and hot. In any case, this form factor (under the meter) is a very popular one these days. It's easy to install, doesn't require wiring anything, etc. google/bing for "Leviton 50240" for a typical unit. they've got the datasheet there. Takes a 20kA nominal discharge current, clamping at 600/500/400V (not sure why L1-N is more than L2-N... L-L is 400V) You need to have a decent ground (not RF ground.. just reasonably low impedance) to give the common mode transients somewhere to go. presumably, your neutral is bonded to ground at the service entrance (and ONLY at the service entrance) (something a bit more burly would be a Leviton 42120-1, but that's not a meter base style.. but it does have filtering built in) _______________________________________________ _______________________________________________ TowerTalk mailing list email@example.com http://lists.contesting.com/mailman/listinfo/towertalk

Kenner City Council members are working to save 10 jobs targeted by proposed budget cuts, but five Rivertown attractions might still switch to appointment-only status.
Kenner City Council members are working to save 10 jobs targeted by proposed budget cuts, but five Rivertown attractions might still switch to appointment-only status.
The council Thursday night is scheduled to adopt the $57.6 million operating and capital budgets proposed by Mayor Ed Muniz. The fiscal year begins July 1.
Muniz's budget cuts would affect 10 positions in the Community Services department and change the museums in the historic district from five-days-a-week to open-by-appointment-only. That would save more than $300,000 per year -- more than $200,000 for the jobs and another $100,000 for utilities and repairs.
But some council members have indicated they are trying to find money to keep the jobs. One job has already been saved: a Community Services bookkeeper position is already budgeted to switch to the Recreation Department, because the workload is expected to decrease as the museums open only by appointment. There will also be three other open positions elsewhere in municipal government that the Community Services employees could apply for, said Branigan and Mayor-Elect Mike Yenni.
That leaves employees now filling the other six jobs and Branigan said that instead of losing their jobs those workers could help during Rivertown's transition period, possibly helping move and setting up the next phase of a Rivertown masterplan. A 2008 plan recommended merging Rivertown's museums onto a side street and converting the properties that face Williams Boulevard and Rev. Richard Wilson Drive, into profitable retail space.
The money to save the Community Services jobs could be obtained from the hotel-motel tax money that is dedicated to Rivertown, Branigan said. That money could be replaced when the city sells one of the Rivertown buildings, she said.
The hotel-motel tax is now proposed to be spent to decide how to best implement the recommendations in the master plan or for development in the area once the plan has been decided, said Yenni and Finance Director Duke McConnell.
Branigan said she will propose creating a committee of people with a vested interest in Rivertown. That committee could decide which Rivertown building to sell. "It's best to get everybody at the table," she said.
Gregory Carroll, the councilman representing the Rivertown area, is one of several council members who emphasized that the council and administration would "compromise" on the budget. They are working, he said, "trying to come up with something that will be best for the residents of the city."
Yenni said Thursday that he has talked with Branigan about the possible council plan but still believes that the proposed budget, with the job cuts, "is the most fiscally conservative option." He said he doesn't want to lay anyone off, but that "a good consensus of people feel we're wasting money" on Rivertown, he said. The city pays $600,000 to $700,000 a year to subsidize Rivertown, officials have said.
"You can't make everybody happy all the time," he said. "I have to look at the whole city."
The proposed $56.5 million operating budget is $2.8 million less than the 2009-10 operating budget, and the capital budget of $1.1 million is $3.4 million less than the current year's budget figure.
Muniz's administration is asking the council to redirect $2.5 million of capital project money - now dedicated by ordinance to capital projects - to the operating budget for the next fiscal year only.
The proposed budget assumes that revenues will flatten to the current fiscal-year levels. That hasn't started happening yet, McConnell said.
"The revenues are still declining at this point," he said. "We're hoping it levels off."
The council meeting begins at 5 p.m. Thursday in the council chamber of Kenner City Hall, 1801 Williams Blvd.

"It's something we've thought about doing for a couple of years," chef and co-owner George McMillan III says. "We just feel like the village wants it and will support it, as well as the city."
McMillan and his fellow chef and business partner Daniel Briggs opened Daniel George as a dinner-only white-tablecloth restaurant in the summer of 2000 in the former location of the Blue & White and Bon Appetit restaurants.
The lunch menu will feature a couple of soups, some salads, a few sandwiches and four or five entrees, McMillan says.
Soups will be $4 a cup and $6 a bowl, salads and sandwiches will be under $10, and the entrees will be in the $15 to $20 range.
Lunch hours will be 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. Mondays through Fridays, and valet parking will be available, McMillan says.
Sandwiches, which come with a choice of fries or green bean salad, include:
- TBLT, with smoked turkey, bacon, lettuce and tomato ($8).
- Saltimboca, with grilled chicken, provolone, sage and prosciutto ($9).
- Magic City Burger, a half-pound Angus burger with extra-sharp cheddar cheese and smoked bacon ($10).
- Chicken Piccata, with russet potatoes, asparagus and caper meuniere ($15).
- Grilled Fish of the Day, with cilantro quinoa, yogurt-marinated French beans and red pepper beurre blanc ($18).

Keep the score, know the score, and the score will improve!
This is what my first mentor, Ray Johnson, used to say to me all the time. It was about this time back in the mid-90's that I was put through a full week of training on "metrics." Can you imagine, a full week with a consultant and a dozen other mid-level managers from around the country stuck in a hotel conference room doing simulations to learn management by numbers? (Fortunately for me, Denver was the host city and I could at least go home at night.)
Now we use terms like "scorecard" and "dashboard." No matter what you call it, if you are in business to make money, you need to have one.
Ask yourself this question. If you went on a year long vacation from your business and planned to return early only if you had to, would you be comfortable relying on the subjective verbal reports of those left behind? Or would you prefer to see a weekly report of five to fifteen measurements from which you could objectively determine whether or not things were running well?
Of course we prefer the hard data!
So... why do so many businesses operate without it? You tell me. What "scorecard" experiences (or lack thereof) have you had? Do they make a difference?
Tragically, Brian Klemmer of Klemmer & Associates passed away last week. He created an organization with an audacious mission. It was to "produce bold, ethical, compassionate leaders who will take action to create a world that works for everyone with no one left out." These were not just words on a page stuck in a three ring binder collecting dust on a shelf. On the contrary, these words were the foundation for SHARED behavioral expectations and are something to which people are held accountable.
Image via Wikipedia
One of the foundations of Brian's teaching is that if business owners and leadership teams share a compelling vision, they will figure out the "how to's" necessary to achieve their aim.
Creating a vision that is clear enough to guide your business takes some real effort. You can get started by making sure some basic questions are answered.
Of course this is just a start, but the return on the investment of time required to create and share the vision can be extraordinary. I have seen it re-energize and refocus businesses such that they get unstuck. A business owner, leadership team, or a sales professional can become massively proactive while at the same time gaining the confidence to stop second-guessing and flip-flopping on strategy.
I have had clients find new purpose and clarity after forming a clear vision, which is exciting. Ironically (and just as exciting), one of my clients, a partnership with offices in Chicago and Des Moines, decided after spending some time trying to create a shared vision that they did not want to be on the same page. They could have struggled for years trying to reconcile two separate answers to the above questions, thus the way for them to get unstuck was to form separate companies.
Does your business feel stuck? Do your sales results feel flat? How might clarifying your vision clear the way for improvement?

School music offers lessons, leadership
I cannot quantify the influence that Mercer Island's band program has had on my educational successes. Since fifth grade, I've played the trumpet and continue to do so, thanks in no small part to my experiences with the top-notch teachers, and more importantly mentors, of the Mercer Island Music Department.
Parker Bixby and David Bentley (among others) have forged a band program in our school district that is unparalleled in the area and around the nation. Each of them takes the time not only to teach music, but to build relationships with each and every student in the program.
We on Mercer Island are truly blessed to have such a strong marching band program. The band tradition runs deep, throughout both middle school and high school, and the number of students participating continues to grow. Next year, more than 300 students are expected to be in the marching band at the high school. Just for reference, that means that Mercer Island High School will be home to the largest marching band in the Northwest. Bigger than the University of Washington Marching Band, bigger than the Washington State University Marching Band, bigger than the Oregon State University Marching Band and, yes, bigger than the University of Oregon Marching Band.
Since graduating from MIHS in 2005, I enrolled at the University of Southern California, where I joined the Trojan Marching Band. I now serve as drum major for the 300+ band and have played at four consecutive Rose Bowls, but I owe much of my current success to the lessons learned in the Mercer Island band program. And I know that my time spent in the band room at MIHS would be just as valuable if I had never touched a trumpet again.
The importance of uniforms to the overall look and feel of the entire band isn't something to underestimate. Our program needs contemporary uniforms (not from the '70s) that are easy to move in and will be practical for the Northwest climate.
These are difficult times, but I implore the members of this community to step up and do what they can to help out this marching band that will continue to represent Mercer Island for years to come.

House Intelligence Committee Chairman Mike Rogers (R-Mich.) said Tuesday that Iraq's prime minister should be removed so Iraq can start building a coalition government that leads to reduced fighting between the Shia and the Sunnis.
Rogers appeared on CNN, where he said some military steps are needed to slow the march of the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria, but said political steps are needed as well.
"You need to have a political discussion all at the same time," he said on CNN's "New Day." "Maliki really probably needs to go. We need somebody of serious stature to be able to tell him that, so that they can get a unity government to start taking away this Shia-Sunni problem that's developing or is there already."
Rogers' recommendation comes as the Obama administration is scrambling to consider what options are available to keep ISIS from taking over more territory in Iraq, and amassing more weapons, people and cash. Rogers said ISIS already controls territory about the size of Indiana, and said air strikes against ISIS should be under consideration as a way to slow the group's march.
"Some options are being talking about that will provide for some disruption, and I'll support those options as long as they give breathing space to any political reconciliation," he said. "That may include U.S. airstrikes to break the momentum of the Al Qaeda army."
Rogers said he supports President Barack Obama's decision to send 275 troops to secure the U.S. embassy at Baghdad, and said that should not be seen as a broken promise not to send ground troops to Iraq.
"When most people say boots on the ground, they're talking about big footprint — the 4th Infantry Division, the 101st Infantry Division. Those kind of things," he said. "That's not what we're talking about. We're not talking about large-scale troop movements."

Two-year-old students from St. Paul's Day School in Westfield review books donated by families of the Day School to Reach Out and Read New Jersey. The school collected hundreds of beautiful books that will soon find new homes. It is because of the incredible support like this that Reach Out and Read is able to touch the lives of so many young children and their families throughout the state.
Reach Out and Read prepares America's youngest children to succeed in school by partnering with doctors to read together. The program begins at the 6-month checkup and continues through age 5, with a special emphases on children growing up in low-income communities.
Families served by Reach Out and Read, read together more often and their children enter kindergarten with larger vocabularies and stronger language skills, better prepared to achieve their potential.
Reach Out and Read will distribute the donated books to the Neighborhood Health Center in Elizabeth and East Orange Primary Care Center in East Orange.

Berkeley has added to signs that the property market is picking up with stronger than expected results.
The London-focused developer today announced a 26 per cent rise in full-year pre-tax profit and said that its ten-year plan to return £1.7 billion to shareholders was on track.
A strategy of buying land cheaply during the downturn and building in the more affluent areas of London and the South East England have helped Berkeley and its rivals, such as Barratt and Persimmon, to stay profitable through the economic gloom.

Jacobs/Maldonado Named KJCCC Player/Pitcher of the WeekPosted by Roy under Athletics
A pair of Seward County sophomores earned weekly Jayhawk West Conference awards this week playing in their final conference home series of their Saints careers. Ty Jacobs was named the conference player of the week after his 10 RBI performance in Seward's 4 game sweep of Pratt while Maldonado earns pitcher of the week accolades after firing a 1 hit shutout against the Beavs on Monday. Jacobs had a monster week for the Saints this week by hitting .500 in 6 games while driving in 10 runs. The Seward 2nd baseman had 11 hits in the 6 contests, helping the Saints to a four game sweep of Pratt on the week. On Tuesday against the Beavers in game four of the series, Jacobs went 4 for 5 with a double, a home run, and 5 RBI's while leading Seward to the 11-4 win. He recorded at least one hit in every game on the week and had multiple hits 3 times. Maldonado picked up his 6th win in conference play on Monday by throwing a nearly flawless game against the Pratt Beavers. The Seward sophomore tossed a complete game shutout, allowing just 1 hit while facing the minimum 21 batters in the contest. Maldonado struck out 7 Beavers while walking just 1 and erased both runners that reached base via the double play. The Saints will play a non-conference double header against Lamar before heading to Colby with the conference title on the line this weekend against the Trojans.

2016 NCAA Div. III tournament qualifier
PELLA—A 10-2 run in overtime carried the Central College men's basketball team to a 78-76 Iowa Conference victory over Wartburg College Saturday, keeping the Dutch alone in first place.
Nothing came easily for the Dutch, who shot a frigid 28.6 percent from the floor in the first half, inadvertently tipped in a Wartburg shot, lost a last-minute lead and had a potential game-winning shot bounce out at the end of regulation.
But Central (16-4 overall, 9-2 conference) kept battling and persevered well enough to maintain a one-game lead in the frantic league race. Wartburg is 12-8 overall and 6-5 in the league. It's the first time Central has racked up 16 wins in its first 20 games since 1978-79.
"It was the type of game where defense and rebounding kept us in it," coach Mike Boschee said. "But we battled and fought hard enough to get the win. It seems like you have to go through some games like this and learn how to finish it out."
Forward Loren Liming (senior, Ames, Gilbert HS) recorded his seventh double-double with 15 points and 16 rebounds along with three assists and two blocks.
"Loren did a nice job," Boschee said. "Wartburg poses some problems for him with double-teams, which makes Loren a playmaker. But I don't think he had any turnovers off the double-team tonight."
Guard Miguel Ley (senior, San Antonio, Texas, Judson HS) endured a tough shooting day but still pumped in a game-high 19 points with five assists, five rebounds, two steals and just one turnover.
Forward Mark Holan (senior, Fontanelle, Nodaway Valley HS) gave Central a long-range boost for the second straight outing, hitting four 3-pointers and scoring 16 points to go with four assists and two steals.
"Mark Holan again stepped up for us with some key 3-pointers," Boschee said. "It's important for us to keep the floor balanced and both wings have been hitting from the outside to help spread the defense."
Center Zach Cooper (senior, Johnston), averaging just 4.9 points a game, had 15 points on 5-of-7 shooting while also knocking down 5-of-6 free throws. He also had eight rebounds, two blocks and two assists.
"Zach did a nice job with some clutch free throws and I thought Jack Bruns (sophomore, Story City, Roland-Story HS) came off the bench and gave us some toughness," Boschee said.
Central trailed by as many as seven points in the first half before scratching its way to a 31-30 halftime lead. The Dutch were ahead much of the second half but never by more than five points. Leading 66-64 with 33 seconds left, a Dutch turnover gave Wartburg a chance and Mitchell Murphy tied the game at 66-66 with a pair of free throws. Ley hit two free throws with 18 seconds remaining but the Dutch gave up a lay-in by Cole Danielson with 8 seconds left, and Ley's 15-footer bounced in and out to send the game to overtime.
After Wartburg took the overtime lead on a 3-pointer, Central got a Liming free throw and a Holan 3 to take a 72-71 lead with 3:03 left. A Wartburg bucket put the Knights up again 73-72 with 2:25 remaining but then Central got six unanswered points, including a pair of dunks by Cooper and Holan that sent an already boisterous crowd into a frenzy. A Dutch turnover after a rebound, a Knights' 3-pointer and two missed free throws created some late anxiety but an errant Wartburg 25-foot shot attempt with 3 seconds remaining sealed the win.
Central travels to Dubuque Wednesday for a league doubleheader. The women's game starts at 6 p.m. with the men's game at 8 p.m. The Dutch were 76-51 winners over Dubuque at Pella Jan. 6. The Spartans, who were idle Saturday, are 13-6 overall and 6-4 in the league.

MOBILE, Alabama -- South Alabama's baseball game with Auburn scheduled for tonight at 6:30 has been postponed because of unplayable conditions at Eddie Stanky Field.
The Jaguars (4-12) and the Tigers (10-7) have not set a make-up date.
Heavy rains in the Mobile area Monday left the playing surface soaked and more rain today made it impossible to have to field ready for tonight's game.
Both South Alabama and Auburn open league play this weekend. The Jaguars entertain Troy in Sun Belt Conference action Friday night while the Tigers begin a three-game series at Ole Miss on Friday.

We present the distribution of 13CO column density of the first quadrant (l = 8 - 90) of the Galactic Plane using the 13CO Bell Laboratories Survey and UMass-Stony Brook 12CO Survey. We estimate the column density channel by channel (with a velocity step of 1 km/sec) with LTE assumption, generating the coumn density cube data for the first quadrant. Spatial resoultion is smoothed into 6 arcminute for whole direction. The highest column density is estimated to be 9.3x1016 cm-2 per channel, which is one of the densest part of the Galactic Ring region. Good correaltionship is found between 13CO integrated instensity and column density. We discuss some charateristics of the column density distribution.

As she finished her breakfast, George, 24, got concerned when she saw a line of Humvees appear outside the windows of the glass-enclosed atrium at Sophia's House of Pancakes.
Her partner, Brock Howland, is a specialist with the Michigan Army National Guard's 124th Cavalry Regiment, based out of Wyoming. She thought that something happened to him.
Other patrons at the restaurant peered out the windows, looks of confusion painted on their faces.
But George was about to be fooled, in the most awesome of ways.
As she was led outside by one of Howland's comrades, Howland met her with a hug and a small, black velvet box.
Staff Sgt. Nate Koehn, an officer in Howland's unit, called to attention the 10 or so soldiers who joined their brother for this special day.
Then Howland, 23, got on one knee and popped the question that George said later "was only a matter of time coming."
Without hesitation, she said yes.
The couple hugged and kissed, while members of Howland's unit wildly applauded.
But as quickly as the deed was done, Howland and his unit had to high tail it to Fort Custer Training Center in Augusta for a weekend boot camp.
There was another reason for the immediacy of the engagement. Howland and the other soldiers in the 126th Cavalry Regiment are scheduled to deploy to Afghanistan in a few months in support of Operation Enduring Freedom.
"I knew I wanted to include the military somehow in this occasion," said Howland, a 2006 graduate of Gull Lake High School, still slightly shaking with nerves. "These are my brothers."
Said Koehn, "We wanted to do this for Spc. Howland. It's all about the guy standing next to you. It's about that brotherhood. We're here for each other no matter what or where."
Howland and George, who works at Ambling Management Co., met when she sold him an apartment 6 months ago. She tried to talk herself out of dating him, she said, but their connection was too great.
"It wasn't a matter of if, it was a matter of when," she said of the engagement. "But I'm the happiest girl in the world right now."
Howland's deployment will be tough, she admitted, but he has a job to do, a duty to fulfill.
And with that, the convoy of five Humvees drove out of the restaurant's front parking lot, on to their training, Howland at the wheel of one of the vehicles, fresh from a duty well done.
Mission accomplished.

The Siberian Towns Where The USSR Buried Toxic Waste
TEGOULDET - It takes a lot to unsettle the inhabitants of Tegouldet, a village of 3,000 southwest of Tomsk in Siberia. Their daily routine consists mainly of hunting, fishing and growing vegetables, except during the cold, six-months-long winter, when their only leisure activity is ice-fishing.
Nothing seems to trouble Alexei, a retired FSB (ex-KGB) officer. Not even the earth mound overlooking his house. Twenty tons of DDT, a highly toxic pesticide, are buried there, right between the village and the Chulym river.
Back in the 1970s, when the zone was uninhabited, local authorities believed that Tegouldet was the perfect spot to bury their stocks of unused pesticides. After producing very large amounts of DDT (doust in Russian) in the 1950s and 1960s, the USSR was forced to ban the substance a decade later when its negative impact on the environment was finally revealed.
What to do with the enormous stocks of pesticides accumulated over the years? Burying them was the ideal solution – cheap and easy. And Siberia is huge. The region of Tomsk, for instance, is nearly as big as Germany, with a surface of 316,000 square kilometers (122,000 square miles). And these vast forested lands, full of gas and peat, are very sparsely populated (3.3/km²).
Over the years, families settled around Tegouldet's earth mound. The area was appealing, close to the river and the village. The newcomers built small wooden houses with gray tin roofs. Every settler chose a small piece of land to grow potatoes and cabbage.
That is when the problems started. "People started to get headaches and nausea. We had to do something. Local authorities brought a dozen tons of sand to cover the buried pesticides even more. People moved their vegetable gardens farther away. People stopped complaining, but there is no denying that the ground and the river are both contaminated," explains Piotr Tchernogrivov, president of the Green Party for the Tomsk region.
"People are healthy around here. Look at Natasha, Alexei's wife. When she sits down she takes up half the sofa," says Gennadi Savelyevich, an official from the Ministry for Emergency Situations. This pollution and radiation expert wants to "pass on a clean earth" to the next generation. Or so the nature-loving expert says as he toasts his fellow bear-hunters in their cabin, not far from the village.
Tegouldet is not an isolated case. Nearly 250,000 metric tons (275,578 tons) of pesticides and agricultural chemicals were abandoned in old warehouses, buried underground, or left in the open all over the USSR. But after the fall of the Soviet Union in 1991, the authorities stopped monitoring where things were. Today, no one knows precisely where these poisons were stored or buried.
Worse than nuclear waste
For Piotr, because of the lack of transparency surrounding them, these stocks could be more dangerous than nuclear waste. In the case of the uranium that continues to be brought from France to be treated in Sveresk, one of Russia's "closed" nuclear cities, the process is monitored, unlike unregistered pesticides.
Piotr wants these toxic agricultural products to be stored at the "pilot polygon," a 38-hectare (94-acre) chemical combine near Tomsk, 60% owned and fully funded by the Russian state. Piotr is the deputy director of the facility, which has been used to store dozens of tons of waste in secure warehouses since 1992. It also receives waste from the neighboring regions of Kemerovo, Omsk, and Tuva.
"Many people criticize this aspect of the polygon. They don't understand why Tomsk needs to take care of other regions' waste," says Pavel Gagarin, an expert from the local agriculture-monitoring department. "People here don't believe the situation is dangerous unless they are affected directly. This is how, for instance, a local food engineer painted his house with Granozan, a highly toxic pesticide full of mercury, because he loved its purple color."
Regional authorities have begun to react. Under Piotr Chernogrivov's orders, teams were formed to list pesticide storage sites, find their owners, and secure their access.
In August 2011, Russia ratified the Stockholm Convention, which aims to eliminate or restrict the production and use of persistent organic pollutants. The Green Cross, an environmental NGO created by former USSR head of state Mikhail Gorbachev, offered to help.
"Providing safe storage for waste is good, but we need to cover it up again every year. Exporting waste is too expensive. The solution would be to destroy it all, but we need an incinerator for that and we can't afford it," explains Green Cross expert Stephan Robinson, a specialist in post-Soviet environmental issues. "Our first concern is to index every storage site."
A team of three young environmentalists, Piotr, Gennadi, Pavel and Green Cross officials, is on its way to former kolkhoz farmland near Pervomayskaya, 110 kilometers (68 miles) from Tomsk. Narrow roads full of potholes make the trip difficult. After a drive of several hours, the team is ready to get to work. They put on white jumpsuits, boots and masks.
You can spot the disgusting smell of the nearby granozan dump from miles away. The pesticide was dumped there a year ago and the warehouse is extremely polluted. Experts are taking samples. The building will have to be leveled. The pesticides will be transferred to the polygon.
A man walks by. He is bringing his cows to the shed and pays no attention to the jumpsuit-wearing team. Another man, with his coat unzipped in the cold Siberian wind (-10°C) is cheerful. "For Christ's sake, we have not seen this around here for years. All dressed in white, that's cool! But who are you? You must be members of the anti-riot police..."
Vadim, Svetlana and Mila, the young environmentalists from the team, want their region to be clean. They dream of seeing foreign investors, tourists, and-- why not-- bear-hunters, thronging to Tomsk. At the local bear-hunters' cabin, the walls are covered with trophies. "Don't worry, there are still plenty," says Piotr.

Binghamton, NY (WBNG Binghamton) Do you have an idea for what the future look of Binghamton should look like? Those who do said the city's new look should focus on streetscape designs, parking, and adding bike lanes.
Blueprint Binghamton's design studio is located at 49 Court Street. It's open to the public on Wednesday from 8 am until 8 pm to get more feedback on design plans.
As part of the Blueprint Binghamton project, the city is switching to a "form based" code for the Main Street to the Court Street corridor.
A company out of Texas called "Code Studio" was hired to revise the zoning and subdivision regulations. They're working with "Third Coast Design Studio" out of Nashville, TN to make up the Blueprint Binghamton design team.
"All the work that we've done to date is basically a result of direct public input that we've received from everybody," said Colin Scarff, Principal, Code Studio.
The public shared their opinions on developing more green space in flood zones, improve parking regulations, and making bike-friendly driving lanes.
"There's also been some discussion about protecting the historic fabric of the corridor," Scarff said, "And really trying to protect and enhance some of the older buildings that exist today."
Design team members said they're impressed with the amount of public interest so far in the project.
"We've had I would say a very diverse crowd come out to see us," Scarff said, "We've had a lot of younger people come out and talk to us which I would say is pretty unusual."
The next step in Blueprint Binghamton is a presentation Thursday night at the Binghamton High School. It's going to be the design team's work-in-progress presentation of all the public input they've received this week and how it could be applied to the city.
The presentation if from 6 pm - 8 pm and it is in the Black Box Theater.

Mattydale, NY -- The 403rd Civil Affairs Battalion of the U.S. Army Reserves in Mattydale is leaving for Iraq this month.
About 70 members of the unit will be heading first to Fort Dix for training, and then to Baghdad, said Master Sgt. Chris Di Tizio.
This will be the group's fourth deployment in recent memory, Di Tizio said. The battalion has previously been to Afghanistan once and Iraq twice, returning from the most recent deployment in October.
The group will be focusing on rebuilding, not battle. "We're the guys that get the power going. We're the guys that get the water going," Di Tizio said.
The unit also will be working with Iraqis to get their court system running again and train their civil defense force.
Most of the soldiers in the Mattydale unit have been to Iraq at least once. One will be going to war for the fifth time: a corrections officer who fought in Desert Storm, Afghanistan and Iraq twice already.

The making of a postliberal: Formed and reformed
Two stories
Sitting on the four corners of an intersection in the town where I grew up are the public school, the library, the town hall and my home church. Every morning an American flag is raised in front of each of the four buildings. The church, however, sits on a hill above the other public buildings, as if presiding over all of them. The church is built of stone, and its sturdy Norman architecture seems to rise out of the massive rock formations that mark the earth throughout the town. To this day, when I sing "The Church's One Foundation," or hear reference to Peter as "the rock" on which Jesus will build his church, I think of that building.
My father was the senior minister of the church. When he looked out the window of his study, he could survey the town as if it were all his parish, and in a sense it was: the church membership included over a third of the town's population.

Making Big Ideas Work
Join Sustainable Conservation in making California a place for big ideas.
California has always been a place for big ideas.
Our innovation led to the first personal computer and, at the same time, has made California the most productive farming state in the nation for the last half-century. We helped launch the modern environmental movement.
With your support, Sustainable Conservation can keep this think-big legacy alive.
Business as an Ally
We helped pass Senate Bill 346 to eliminate harmful copper in automobile brake pads sold in Calif. and across North America, boosting clean water and healthy wildlife on an international scale.
Nearly two decades ago— long before "sustainability" was in vogue— we posed a simple but powerful question: Why can't promoting a healthy environment also be good for the economy?
Challenging conventional wisdom, we pioneered working with, not against, California industries to make clean air and water, thriving wildlife and a healthy climate business as usual. We were the first to recognize that for environmental solutions to stick and have the biggest impact, they've got to be profitable.
Nearly 20 years of dreaming up, perfecting and expanding a bold vision for a vibrant state has paid off. There's more to be done, though.
California at a Crossroads
Over half of our rivers and streams that millions of Californians depend on for drinking and growing food get a failing grade for their poor quality. Wildlife and habitat are disappearing at an alarming rate. California still produces some of the dirtiest air in the nation. The list goes on.
Get Involved
With your support, we can continue proving that a flourishing environment and economy are not only possible, but essential to a bright future. We can, together, keep California a place for big ideas.

Syracuse, N.Y. — The Syracuse Chiefs dropped a 5-2 decision to the Rochester Red Wings Monday on a perfect afternoon for spring baseball.
The temperature registered a sunny 68 degrees for the opening pitch of the noon game at NBT Bank Stadium.
The Red Wings scored two runs in the first, the big blast a home run to right field off the bat of Chris Parmelee, who was 3-for-4 on the afternoon.
The Chiefs initially chipped away, scoring one in the second on an RBI double by Brandon Laird, then adding another run in the third to tie the game on Brock Peterson's RBI single. Peterson's hit scored Eury Perez, who had doubled earlier in the inning.
Rochester scored two more in the fifth off reliever Christian Garcia, the big hits coming off the bats of James Beresford, whose sacrifice fly plated Doug Bernier, and Wilkin Ramirez, who doubled home Danny Santana.
The Red Wings added another run in the sixth when Bernier's bunt scored Eric Farris from third.
Chiefs starter Danny Rosenbaum was removed from the game because of an unknown injury in the third inning after facing three Red Wings hitters. Garcia, a right-hander, needed to hastlly warm up and enter the game.
- Chris Rahl made the defensive play of the game when he made an over-the-shoulder catch in deep left-center on a ball hit by Eury Perez, then doubled up Josh Johnson at first base to end the fifth inning.
- Rochester starter Scott Diamond, who won 12 games for the Minnesota Twins in 2012 but has struggled this season in Triple A, gave up two runs in six mostly effective innings. Diamond, who was 0-2 with a 15.00 ERA before Monday, recorded the win.
- Chiefs middle infielder Jose Lozada pitched the ninth inning. He's thrown three times in his minor league career. Lozada faced four Red Wings batters and surrendered a single to Parmelee.
- Syracuse outfielder Steven Souza, Jr., went 1-for-3 as the designated hitter in his first game back from Washington. Souza recorded his first Major League hit last Wednesday with the Nationals. He was returned to the Chiefs on Sunday.

Tuesdays at 9 p.m. on SyFy
Episode: "Pilot," aired July 7
Though many have tried, few sci-fi shows have been able to achieve the brilliance of "The X-Files." "Warehouse 13" is the latest to play the game, and it's a pretty good attempt. It should appeal to even those who aren't fans of sci-fi. (Apparently I'm not much of one, since I missed that the Sci-Fi network is inexplicably now the SyFy network. Are we calling it syence fyction now?)
The two-hour pilot is too long by half, so allow me to summarize. Pete Lattimer and Myka Bering are Secret Service agents who, after saving the president's life, are summoned to the barren South Dakota wilderness by shadowy government forces. Building on the "X-Files" model, Myka's a by-the-book skeptic and Pete's a fast-and-loose believer.
There they discover Warehouse 13, a mammoth top-secret storage facility for artifacts involved in unexplained phenomena. They're tasked with investigating some of the mysterious items there.
The pilot's special effects leave something to be desired and the dialogue borders on silly at times, but it's a well-cast, accessible show with promise. The chemistry between the leads is great, the show doesn't take itself too seriously, and Scully and Mulder might even enjoy it.

Yes. I think it's because a few extra pounds would be great insurance during lean times in the wild, as opposed to the liability of 20 or more pounds, so the body hangs onto it a lot harder.
Not sure where to post this q, so it just put it here...
I don't have a lot of fat to lose; I'm 5'2", 120lbs, approx. 19%BF, 34-26-37 (I only put that there for reference about where I am, shape wise)
Since going primal about 5 weeks ago, I lost an inch on my hips and waist (was 27/38). I didn't start too Primal, no grains, but still plenty of cheese, fruit, etc., but I've been slowly getting more and more. I've cut out pretty much all nuts recently, and have really cut back on fruit - I only eat a few berries when I eat a couple of spoonfuls of coconut oil.
My workout routine is likewise pretty primal. Per week, I do between 4-6 hours of low/medium cardio, I do HIIT or Tabata intervals 3 times a week, and I weight train about 3-4 hours a week.
My question is, I see so many people on the board saying they have had amazing transformations and lost all this weight in a few weeks. Does your body slow this change down the closer you get towards your goal? I'm more concerned with physical size than weight, and I think an inch off in a few weeks is pretty good, but sometimes when I see how much other people have lost, I get creepy CW thoughts (eat less fat! Do heavier cardio! A workout doesn't count if you can talk through it!).
I feel fantastic, and have noticed huge improvements everywhere else in my life because of PB.
Has anyone else noticed fat loss is not as fast the closer yet get to your goal? I only want to lose another inch or so on waist/hips, and get down to about 15-16%BF.
Thanks guys!
Yes. I think it's because a few extra pounds would be great insurance during lean times in the wild, as opposed to the liability of 20 or more pounds, so the body hangs onto it a lot harder.
I think it also depends a bit on how much you have dieted before. If you have a record of yo yoing I think those last few pounds will take time. If your eating history is pretty stable I think you will lose the inches fairly easily. Sounds like you should continue with what you are doing. It seems to be working.
jo- I've never really yo-yo dieted, but I pretty much always followed CW. I've never weighed more than 128, so I would say for my adult life my weight has stayed within 15 pounds.
It does seem to be working, but sometimes I see that people have lost several inches in the same time as I have lost one, and I get a little discouraged. I only want to lose 1, maybe 2 more inches, but I guess I need to be a little more patient.
A heavily overweight person who loses weight (fat) does not equal same ratio of fat loss as normal weight person, correct?
For example, would a person who wants to lose 50 lbs of fat lose at a faster rate than someone who wants to lose 5, if all other factors are the same?
I think what you say is true, so as you say, a little more patience. There will be people here who are envious of your inch loss but don't say so.
I lost a lot initially and then got stuck at ~ 15% (male). To get out of that I had to keep training more regular and cut down on fruit. It's still taking much longer than it did in the beginning.
Heavier bodies lose weight more quickly than lighter ones do. Your body may already be "at goal" for its own internal homeostasis.
Primal eating in a nutshell: If you are hungry, eat Primal food until you are satisfied (not stuffed). Then stop. Wait until you're hungry again. Repeat.

Ditch the scale!: http://www.marksdailyapple.com/forum/thread33283.html
My Success Story: http://www.marksdailyapple.com/forum/thread30615.html
Right now, I am having a harder time losing the last few pounds that I want to than I did in the beginning. According to my measurements I'm somewhere between seven and eight percent body fat and I weigh less now than I ever though was possible for me to get down to. I need to lose maybe a pound or two to have my abs fully out and proud. I am making progress, but I'm also being very strict right now and working for it much harder than I did before. Hang in there.
