Another reward of working out is eating more.
"Even though your basal metabolism slows down as you age, you can make up some of that as you exercise," said AARP features editor Gabrielle Redford. "Your systems are slowing down, but you can challenge them and take years off your real age. If you're 50, get the body of a 45-year-old by exercising."
Osteoporosis can also sneak in during your 50s and 60s, so be sure to add exercise that is weight-bearing, whether that be walking, jogging or lifting weights.
"Classes popular with our seniors are in water, but you can't build bone density in water," Rick said. "You can get joint and bone benefits from 20 minutes twice a week with a ground workout."
During this type of exercise, your skeleton adapts to the pressure of gravity by building more bones, Shape Magazine reported.
No matter what you do to stay active, support that commitment with diet.
"I've seen my peers grow old and end up carrying as much weight as another human being on their back. I eat everything in moderation," he said.
Harris said combining the two has kept him within 5 pounds of his graduation weight.

Find Your Passion: Diabetes Advocate Changes How UA Eats
By Miranda Harbin
Whether or not you have met Dana Lewis, if you are a member of The University of Alabama community, she's probably changed the way you eat lunch.
It all started with a simple request. Lewis, a University of Alabama senior who has Type 1 diabetes, wanted to administer the right amount of insulin to herself while eating in the dining halls on campus.
To do so, she needed to know how many carbohydrates are in her meals. The information, at that time, was only available through the Bama Dining Web site. Lewis says it was nearly impossible for her to go online and decide what to eat the next day and stick with it. She asked her friends to go online and plan out their meals for the week.
"They failed miserably," Lewis says. The easiest and most accessible way, she says, for students to view the nutritional information was either inside the dining hall or right before entering the dining hall.
"As a college student, food should be a no-brainer," she says.
Lewis worked with Bama Dining to place nutrition labels with the entrees in the dining hall. She says she feels this not only helps students with specific dietary confinements and allergies, but also those students who want to avoid the dreaded "Freshmen 15" weight gain. Her simple suggestion to Bama Dining escalated into an internship with their marketing department, which was a perfect fit for Lewis, a public relations major.
A.J. DeFalco, the resident district manager for Bama Dining, says Bama Dining wants to foster a relationship like they have with Dana with all students. Bama Dining, DeFalco says, wants students to feel as if their kitchen is the students' kitchen.
During the spring of 2008, Bama Dining continued making the data more accessible by placing kiosks containing the nutritional information outside of the dining halls. This works, Lewis said, because students are able to make a decision about their nutrition without having to pay to go into the dining facility or visit a Web site.
Bama Dining was the first Aramark location to have nutritional labels at both the point of service and on their Web site.
Lewis said, "My goal is to make sure that the information is there for those who want and need it."
Lewis took her advocacy further by creating a class for students with diabetes who are transitioning to college life.
Lewis' class, which had its debut last semester, centers on healthy living for college students with diabetes. The class is a casual seminar that helps students understand the relationship of diabetes with academic, social, nutrition and emotional changes during their first year of college.
Lewis said she wanted to teach about the transition because there are not any resources available for students with diabetes who are adjusting to college life. The class is primarily about helping people find the resources that are available to them. Lewis teaches the class, along with three UA professors – Drs. Rebecca Kelly, director of health promotions and wellness, Pamela Payne-Foster, deputy director of the Rural Health Institute, and Felicia Wood, associate professor in the Capstone College of Nursing.
"Dana Lewis was the spark behind the fall 2008 Living with Diabetes Course," says Kelly. "As an innovative student leader, and an individual living each day with Type 1 diabetes, Dana is passionate about educating others about diabetes."
Lewis' diabetes advocacy reaches beyond the UA campus. She has testified before Congress at the request of Sen. Ted Kennedy about the need for diabetes research and the needs of people with diabetes. During the summer, she also worked with the American Diabetes Association in Washington, D.C., as an intern. She previously has served as an advocate for youth living with diabetes, traveling nationwide and to Africa, Germany and Hungary to speak on their behalf.
Currently, Lewis is working with Close Concerns, a diabetes consulting firm, as a public relations consultant and social media strategist. She also spoke at the 2008 World Diabetes Day in New York City.

New York's Action Against Asthma
Although there is no cure for asthma, much more is known about it today than was known 20 years ago. Much of the fight against asthma involves education, improving access to quality asthma care and changing lifestyles to eliminate environmental factors that trigger asthma (For more information: Frequently Asked Questions ).
New York has many programs aimed at reducing the burden of asthma, such as the Regional Asthma Coalitions, Healthy Neighborhoods Program (HNP), Medicaid, The NYS State of Health Official Health Plan Marketplace and School Based Health Centers.
Together with providers of medical care, researchers, community-based organizations, professional societies, insurance and pharmaceutical companies, businesses, federal, state, local and tribal government agencies, and people with asthma and their families, New York will continue the fight against asthma. The New York State Asthma Plan 2006-2011 provides the blueprint for action.
Asthma Plan and Initiatives
New York is committed to improving the quality of life for those with asthma and their families.
The goals of the NYS Asthma Plan for 2006-2011 are:
- Seamless, evidence-based, patient/family centered asthma care exists for all New Yorkers with asthma.
- Disparities in asthma diagnosis, treatment and outcomes are eliminated.
- "Asthma-friendly" communities exist in New York.
- Policy makers, health care providers and consumers have an increased understanding of asthma and treat and manage asthma effectively.
- A statewide public/private collaboration exists to shape, implement and monitor New York's action which will improve asthma outcomes in New York.
Working in close collaboration with our statewide partners, especially in New York City, where asthma hospital discharge rates are the highest, there are many initiatives underway to meet these goals. The NYS Asthma Program has four focus areas:
- Surveillance and Program Evaluation;
- Health Care;
- Community-Based Initiatives;
- Environmental and Occupational Health.

Ask someone, anyone, about his or her hair and you're bound to get an earful. Our hair can define us — for better or worse.
Take, for example, Meg Harpe, a stylist at Rendezvous Hair Salon in Clintonville. Her natural locks are very red and very curly.
"I always got compared to Ariel [from 'The Little Mermaid']," Harpe said. "That's not me. She's a fairytale girl. I just want to walk around with my finger in the air."
Enter: her current and beloved burgundy-tinted mohawk.
Whether you, too, have taken your hair's destiny into your own — or, preferably, a highly skilled professional's — hands or you're still shaking what your mama gave ya, this guide to hair in Columbus has something for you. Read on to find out who's hot, what's not and where to get locks to love.

Peter H. Fischer
Peter H. Fischer
MONTPELIER Peter Harry Fischer, of Montpelier, Vt., left this world in the early hours of March 3, 2013. He was 58 years old.

Examining Churn and Loyalty Using Support Vector Machine
The present study attempts to contribute to the knowledge of how customer loyalty could be assessed, using support vector machine. Additionally, the relationship between customer loyalty rate and churn rate is studied. After literature review and elaborating the concepts of customer loyalty, churn and support vector machine, a comprehensive data analysis on a telecommunication company's customers' dataset, utilizing support vector machine, has been developed. The proposed dataset consists of 1300 customers of a telecommunication company . The results imply that the proposed data analysis tool could be used for recognizing and determining the strategies leading to higher customer loyalty and lower churn.

A startup on Thursday launched its Gboard, a keypad that simplifies usage of Gmail service. The device seems to be rather interesting, however, the vast majority of those, who principally use keyboard shortcuts have most likely assigned appropriate programmable buttons for certain functions.
The Gboard keypad features 19 Gmail shortcuts that allow to easily utilize functions of Gmail without using mouse. Potentially, this makes email usage much easier since one should not reach for mouse in order to send an email, open new thread, compose new email and so on. Those, who own rather expensive keyboards with programmable keys can already enjoy similar benefits by assigning their "spare" keys for appropriate functions.
While the device seem to be useful, it does not improve fundamental flaws of Gmail, such as rather poor settings that are not easy to manage, slow response time and others.
The Gboard costs $19.99, which is a price of an inexpensive keyboard, and is available online only at present. The device requires a spare USB port.
Gboard.com is not affiliated with Google, the world's leading search engine and a successful Internet-based services provider.

Living on a restricted diet is annoying. One would think that I'd be accustomed to it by now, since it's been almost two decades of reading labels, asking the right questions and following rules, but still, I have my moments. Seeking a simpler, less stressful way of life, I moved to the Catskills. I'm unsure what effect I thought this change would have on my intestinal tract, but my gut instinct directed me toward the Upper Delaware Valley, and lo and behold, my health has improved. While it's certainly true that I have greater access to farm-raised foods (www.sullivancountyfarmersmarkets.org [2]), and I've learned a lot about how what I eat affects my body, the real surprise has been how the region I now call home feeds the soul.
Nutrition comes in many forms and literally means "to feed and nourish," which I've come to realize includes my mental state as well. Aside from the benefits of fresh air, organic food and living in harmony with nature, being an active member of the community has nourished me in countless ways, and I'm more grateful for little things that I took for granted in the asphalt jungle; things that were eating away at me, one neuron at a time. "It's a simpler way of life" I explain to my friends, who still question my decision, "but that doesn't mean that there are no problems. The difference is that I feel less alone when the going gets tough."
Big city living is (IMHO) just not as conducive to lending a helping hand, while here in the country it's a way of life. This past weekend exemplified the spirit of community in the form of the fifth annual Great Sullivan County Food Raiser (www.facebook.com/SCCommunityUnity [3]), sponsored by Sullivan County Community Unity and the Catskill Distillery's Stacy & Friends benefiting food pantries throughout the county, raising money, awareness and spirits for those in need. The event, which takes place in multiple locations simultaneously, enriches the soul, while entertaining the masses and raising much needed funds.
While keeping a constant vigil on my intake, calories are never the issue, and therefore dessert is always on the menu. To serve my sweet tooth, I'll be heading out to the United Methodist Church of Monticello (www.monticelloumchurch.org [4]) on Saturday, February 9 for "Shorts and Sweets for Sweethearts," which will provide dinner (that I may not be able to sample), entertainment and "delectable homemade desserts" (which I definitely can). That's all I need to know, but for those of you with questions, call 845/262-2376 for reservations and information.
Speaking of reservations, I'm experiencing some on a personal level while preparing to (quite literally) help serve the community on a slightly different level. The fifth annual Sullivan County Celebrity Dinner is approaching at lightening speed, and I'm a little nervous. On Friday, March 8, the Villa Roma Resort (www.villaroma.com [5]) will be hosting the four-course dinner and a night of entertainment benefiting the Boys and Girls Clubs of Sullivan County (www.bgcorange.org [6]). Multiple teams of servers will be on hand and I've been asked to represent The River Reporter this year, along with teammates Paul Ciliberto, Michelle Semerano (www.thunder102.com [7]) and Town of Thompson Supervisor Tony Cellini, as we serve the diners along with Sullivan County Partnership's Allan Scott and Michelle Klugman-Resnick.
This year's theme, "Music from Your Youth," is our inspiration, and 20 teams of local celebrities will be on hand, costumed and at your service, while competing for the largest collection of tips, which will be determined by how much we entertain (hence my reservations). It's not my cohorts that concern, but my own ability to pull off what is currently still a secret. Naturally, the Wonder Dog will be at my side and undoubtedly an advantage, since her very appearance is entertaining and (if advance sales are any indication), it's clear that many of her fans are looking forward to hobnobbing with Her Highness. I'm praying that attendees will be laughing with (rather than at) me, but either way, it's for a wonderful cause. Fully prepared to be a good sport, my competitive streak is in full force, and since the event is always sold out, now is the time for all good men and women to come to the aid of their county.
If you've been looking for an opportunity to boss me (or them) around for a night, call 845/342-8833 and let the powers that be know that you need to be seated at our table (Team Italian Stallions). As mentioned, an incredible dinner will be served, so leave the rotten tomatoes at home. Surely there will be something on your plate to throw in my general direction. Whatever your motivation, come on out, support the cause and have a great time. It might just feed your soul.

How do nuclear accidents affect nuclear power-plant construction? I built a giant database to find out.
Tuesday marks the 25th anniversary of the explosion at Chernobyl. Meanwhile, the crisis at Japan's Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant has begun to stabilize, if only slightly. The horror stories from Chernobyl set the nuclear industry back countless years, with many countries canceling or stalling previous plans to build nuclear reactors. How will the disaster in Japan affect global reliance on nuclear energy?
For the past two years, I've been building a data set that can help answer this question. It contains the location and date of every nuclear power plant constructed in every country in the world between 1965 and 2000based on records maintained by the International Atomic Energy Agencyand every significant nuclear accident during that time. I also collected country-level statistics on other factors that are thought to influence nuclear-power development: economic welfare, energy security, and energy production capacity, for example.
The nearly 75 nuclear accidents in the database include widely remembered disasters, such as Three Mile Island (TMI) in 1979 and Chernobyl in 1986, but also less-known incidents, such as the reactor meltdown in Buenos Aires, Argentina, in 1983 and an uncontrolled nuclear chain reaction in Tokaimura, Japan, in 1999 that killed two people.
Japanese authorities recently rated Fukushima at the highest possible severity level (Level 7), a designation shared only by Chernobyl. (TMI was classified as Level 5.) Given that the last accident of this magnitude crippled the nuclear industry, it may be tempting to conclude that the crisis in Japan will substantially curtail global nuclear power development. According to my database, however, it seems this judgment may be premature....

I'm going to have to give formula today because I couldn't pump out enough milk over the past 24 hours to feed him while I'm at work today. I don't understand what's happening. 4 days ago, I had plenty of milk to pump out. Now, nothing.
I am totally devastated. I don't understand what would cause such a sudden and large drop in my production.

Padres Fan Day
I just found out that the Padres will be having a Fan Day at Petco Park on Sunday, April 5. It will be very similar to the FriarFests of years past, with autograph sessions and other activities. Even sounds like you'd be able to watch a special workout the players will be doing! This year, due to the economic situation, this one-day event will replace the two-day FriarFests that had taken place for the last three years. In addition, this event will be FREE. Last year, tickets were $5. "But it's not free!" my dad objects. "There's the cost of gas, parking, time…" OK, that is true. But just think of those $5 you would save! I'm sure it will be a very fun event, especially since it's the day before Opening Day.
But I doubt I will be able to go. For one thing, it's on a Sunday, and we don't generally venture that far on Sundays. But it is Sunday afternoon…"Didn't we do that last year?" My dad again. "Do we need to do it again?" OK, it's not essential to life to go. But there are a bunch of new players, and it's cool to get some new autographs. Plus, I haven't been to the ballpark for six months. That's torture for a fan like me! I need to get out there.
I'm keeping it open. If I get the chance to go, then great, I'll have a blast. But if we don't get to go, I'll be OK with that. It's just seems like a waste of a great opportunity. I mean, autographs, pictures, meeting famous baseball players, maybe even meeting some fellow baseball fans. We'll see how it goes.
Also, I wonder how many games I'll be able to go to this year. I think the Padres are lowering ticket prices in some sections, which will hopefully be a big help. But I guess we'll have to see. Last year, I went to one game purely on a close friend's generosity. The other two games we went to were with friends. My whole family together only went to one game. We live about 45 minutes away from downtown San Diego, so it is a big commitment of time and gas to go to a game. We've found ways to get out there, though. The Padres will be doing their 2-for-1 days again this year, so maybe we can catch a few of those. They are usually day games where you can get two tickets for the price of one. Still pretty expensive, but better than what it could be. Last year we discovered the "Beach". It's an area right beyond the center field field, with sand and bleachers. It's a really cool place, mostly because it's field level and you can see the outfielders really closely. You also have the chance of catching a home run, and you can see the bullpen off to the side. Probably the best of all, it's only $10 per ticket. Not as good as the $5 Park in the Park, but the Beach is much more enjoyable.
So, I guess we'll just have to see what turns up. Who knows, I might meet Jake Peavy in a chance encounter and he gives me season tickets or something. Well, maybe not, but you know what I mean. I need to get out there a few times this season, and I am confident that a way will be provided for me to catch some games. I especially want to go to a game in the Brewers series at the end of September. But I will be thankful for any games I can go to.
Baseball is soooooo close!! I can't wait!! GO PADRES!!

I hope you get to go! I won't be anywhere near any of the Fan Fest things for the Indians or the Cardinals so I don't get to go.😦
I also hope you get to go to games. Just tell your dad that there is an Indians fan from St. Louis on MLBlogs who will be traveling all the way to cleveland and Kansas city and maybe even LA (fingers crossed) to see the Indians so 45 minutes for one or two games shouldn't be too bad. JK🙂 I really hope you and your family get to go; it's so much fun!
Kaybee – I hope you do get to go! I know how expensive tickets can be – especially when a whole family goes! Don't know if you have a minor league team near you, but we enjoy going to the PawSox the Triple A affiliate of the Red Sox.
Sounds fun. I wonder if the Red Sox have one. I think they do!
I hope you get to go. There's nothing like meeting players and hanging out with baseball fans. If I knew more Padres/baseball fans here, I might make it out. Who knows…I still might try. I hope you get to some games this season. I have high hopes for the Padres since everyone's expectations have been relatively low.
Just a quick Padres note: our current owner John Moores has signed a contract to sell one-third of the club to Jeff Moorad!! I am so excited!!! We need this new owner, and it will take up to five years, but he will get full control. This is wonderful news for Padres fans!! I'll blog on this tomorrow…
I want to go the Fan Day so bad! This is my chance to see our Padres up close. Plus, I've never went to any of those😦 You should go there! Go Friars!
Btw, John Moores needs to get out of this buisness now. Let Jeff Moorad clean this up! We need that guy! And he's the right person who can handle it.
Kaybee – Congrats on the # 36 ranking on the latest Leader's List!
A chance encounter with Jake Peavy and he'll offer you season tickets. Love it. You have wild fantasies just like I do!
The Padres Fan Day sounds like it would be a blast! And I'm sure April weather in San Diego is beautiful. Wish the Phillies had something like this, though they do have their Phestival during the season. Though not free, it is a fundraiser for ALS.
Give your dad your best "pitiful eyes" and hopefully you'll get to go😉

Governor Neil Abercrombie called for a meeting with healthcare providers to talk about the developing medical crisis.
The emergency room at Kuakini has seen a dramatic jump in cases over the last two days.
It is up 150 percent, according the Healthcare Association of Hawaii.
Staffers at the Liliha facility told KITV, the ambulances have been coming steadily and they are glad to help.
They said they feel for the emergency medical technicians who are under added pressure.
Toby Clairmont, Director of Emergency Services for the Healthcare Association said he was out at Hawaii Medical Center West when the ER closed Monday morning.
He said he wasn?t sure what to expect.
"We also saw heroic things in my opinion. EMS parked an ambulance and began screening patients themselves in some cases, and directing them to hospitals and in some cases taking them by ambulance to the hospitals. People were being served but not at the hospital," said Clairmont.
The short-term impacts and pre-hospital care are the most immediate concerns but the fate of patient at the specialty transplant center at HMC East and programs like the Hawaii Bone Marrow Registry are in limbo.
"Who is going to pick that up nobody knows at this point," Clairmont said.
He said the void of long relied on services will be felt throughout the community. It will boil down to this: Patients will have to travel farther for treatment.
"These are things we hear from neighbors in the Pacific. They come to Hawaii or go to the mainland for treatment, and now we will experience that ourselves locally," Clairmont said.
Clairmont also pointed out that part of his job is emergency response during a disaster and the shutdown creates a void, that is not good.
"Things could still happen. We depended on those facilities as part of our system. we have lost those staff and those beds," he said.
Clairmont said his own staff is on alert mode during this critical time,
Governor Neil Abercrombie called together heath care providers from the various hospitals Tuesday afternoon asking for a status report and wanting to know what the state could do to help.

Heroine Make Reformulated Mascaras Take Lashes From Zero To Hero(ine)
I LOVE brands who reformulate their products for the better. The reformulated Heroine Make Mascaras – Long & Curl and Volume & Curl Super Waterproof Mascara – will reveal lashes you never knew you had! I say this because I had a brief acquaintance with its previous Volume & Curl Mascara which didn't quite impress me.
With their new products, Heroine Make, a popular Japanese cosmetic brand has not only convinced me that they are committed to provide long-lasting and smudge-proof makeup, they have re-invented mascaras to reach HOLY GRAIL status! I am SO SO SO SO impressed! You need to read this review if you are looking for a mascara that lengthens, curls, volumizes, lifts and separates.
Let me give you a preview:
Like, HELLO?!?! What just happened to my left eye? You mean I have eyelashes there?!?! 😀 More before-after comparison photos coming up!
Here are the newly launched Heroine Make products. Love the girly packaging!
Heroine Make Long & Curl + Volume & Curl Super Waterproof Mascara
Heroine Make Pressed Powder Collection
Heroine Make Long & Curl Super Waterproof Mascara
The curved brush allows the bristles to grab very close to the eyelash roots so even the tiniest of your lashes can be easily curled up. Up from 3mm, the new 5mm fibres boast a 40% more lengthening effect as they firmly lengthen even the shortest lashes.

Morgan County BOE levy explained
BERKELEY SPRINGS – The Morgan County Board of Education held a town hall May 1 to explain its justification for continuing a special school levy that has been in effect since 1958. About 200 attended.
Voters will decide a five-year special, or "excess" levy extension, and a rate increase of 96 percent from 93.8 percent. Each year, the school board can decide to keep the special levy rate at 100 percent or to roll it back to a lower rate after budget considerations. Last year's special levy rate increased from 88 percent to 93.8 percent.
The last special levy election was held on Nov. 4, 2008, and continued on tax bills through this year. If approved by voters, the proposed special levy would be in effect for the fiscal year beginning July 1, 2014, through the fiscal year ending in 2019.
This special levy is in addition to the regular school levy on property tax bills and county or municipal taxes. About 75 percent of tax bills goes to the school system. Projected revenue from the regular school levy is $4,808,659 annually. Projected annual revenue from the special levy through 2019 is $5,862,640. For a property owner with a home valued at $150,000, the tax on the special levy alone would be $396.54.
Officials said the special levy supplements state funding to provide instructional materials and equipment, free textbooks, 21st century technology, salaries and employee benefits, facilities and maintenance, curricular and extracurricular programs and field trips, with some transportation costs. It provides financial support to certain local agencies or community organizations such as Morgan County Health Department ($10,000), the West Virginia University extension office in Morgan County ($20,000), the Energy Express Program ($40,000), Morgan County and Paw Paw Public Libraries ($65,000), Morgan County Parks & Recreation ($25,000), Morgan Arts Council ($15,000) and Morgan County PRO Officer ($35,000).
Superintendent Dave Banks said the town hall was to allow the audience to get "correct and factual information" with a panel of a cross-section of people with ties to education. They included teacher Pete Gordon, Board President Dave Ambrose, former delegate and attorney Charles Trump, Delegate Daryl Cowles, businesswoman Connie Perry and School Board Treasurer Nancy White.
"There's an Iroquois law that says every action we take we must consider how that affects the next seven generations," Banks said. "I want to give you basic demographics that affect what we do."
He said 10 years ago, the school had a difficult time keeping teachers. The school had to be competitive in pay and benefits. About $3 million of the $5.5 million special levy is in salaries.
Banks talked about large student turnover and poverty or homelessness of more than 100 students. Officials said keeping qualified teachers at competitive salaries with benefits and providing extra student programs were essential. They said there was misinformation out in the public.
Some questioned why a decline in enrollment meant they had to raise the levy rate to pay for programs, and salaries, rather than lower the rate.
An opposition group of fiscal watch dogs formed and put up signs around the county in contrast to the support signs from the West Virginia Education Association and pro-levy committee. Jeanne Ford and Eric Pritchard lead the opposition.
Banks said the anti-levy group was making it political, not about taxes. He said they were using made-up rankings and made-up grading on the school system.
"It's not political," Ford said. "The regular levy is 35 percent of our real estate and personal property tax bills. The special levy is 40 percent of our bills. Seventy-five cents of every tax dollar goes to school taxes."
Delegate Daryl Cowles, a conservative Republican, supports the levy. He believes having local control over this special levy money, which remains in the county, is essential in training future workers and improving the economy of the county, which has few major employers.
Banks proposed a citizen's advisory committee of people from both sides of the table, and future town hall meetings.
Voters will decide May 11. Early voting at the Morgan County Courthouse continues through Wednesday.

The Zoom H4n - highly recommendedHere is the description at B&HThe Rycote fuzzy mic cover is essential for use outdoors.
One caveat: there are reports of cross-over or over-print between the on-board H4n mics and any input through the XLRs. I haven't had any problems so far but there is chat about it. Testing is required. I'll let you know.
marantz 661, had both Edirol, h4n, did not like them. 661 is a keeper.
Hi Mike What about the Tascam?the one with XLR inputs
Yes, there is no doubt that the Sound Devices recorders are amongst the most rugged and professional (and best sounding), together with Nagra and Aaton. Totally different price class though.
Sound is important and just like a good to great camera will never replace a visual artist that knows how to work it for the best effect, sound has the same requirements.

Zombie School In "Zombie School," your goal is to protect yourself from a hoard of zombie children by shooting them. It made it to Apple's App Store but was booted after being criticized for promoting school violence, according to ABC News. (credit: Retarded Arts)
Adult Tennis Boobs Take the top tennis players in the world and focus just on their cleavage. That was the premises of the "Adult Tennis Boobs" app. Apple said no thanks. (credit: Overdamped)
Baby Shaker "Baby Shaker" let users violently shake their iPhones to silence a baby's cry, according to CNET. Despite the Apple police banning "offensive" content, the app made it to iTunes. It was removed hours later. (credit: CNET)
BeautyMeter "BeautyMeter" was a free app originally developed to rate the face, body and clothes of users who uploaded photos of themselves. That got ugly pretty fast, when a partially nude image of a 15-year-old user turned up in the gallery, according to Wired.com. Child porn on the iPhone? No thanks. Apple banned the app. (credit: Wired.com)
Gay Cure After originally approving the 'gay cure' software, Apple refused an application developed by the Christian ministry Exodus International.
Hottest Girls The "Hottest Girl" app, which lets users rate nude or partially nude women, is one that go the boot. (credit: AllenTheGeek.com)
iBoobs The iPhone uses a state-of-the-art motion sensor that reacts when you tilt or move the phone. It was just a matter of time before someone used it to manipulate the female chest. Apple filed the "iBoobs" application under the umbrella of offensive content, according to The Huffington Post. (credit: YouTube)
Jew or Not a Jew Apple Inc. has removed an app from its French App Store that let users consult a database of celebrities to determine if they are Jewish or not. (credit: AP)
Me So Holy "Me So Holy" was simple, but also offensive to some. Users were able to snap a photo with their iPhone and post it on any deity's head. It violated the App Store policy and never saw the light of day, according to The Huffington Post. (credit: MeSoHoly.com)
Psycho An app that promotes stabbing? It's actually a photo of a kitchen knife that would play the music from the infamous "Psycho" shower scene when users simulate a stabbing motion with their phone. But the app sparked controversy. According to UK's The Sun, the app was released during a crime-wave of teen stabbings in the country and citizens felt it promoted violence. Regardless, the app sold 10 million downloads during its first week, according to the paper.
Puff! "Puff!" lets you lift a girl's skirt by blowing into your iPhone's microphone. Voyeurism is another no-no at the App Store. (credit: BottleCube Inc.)
Russian Bride Gallery You can order pizza on your iPhone, but you can't order Russian mail-order brides. Some of the banned applications showed pornographic or risque material that could easily be accessed by children. The "Russian Bride Gallery" app didn't make the cut. (credit: Ketara Software)
Video Strip Poker Poker? Yes! Strip poker? No! Apple is now enforcing stricter policies on which applications are approved for iPhones and iPod Touches. Several strip poker apps, such as "Video Strip Poker," were removed from the App Store. (credit: Arawella Corporation)

I've been out of the blog world a bit these days. It's been unintentional…I just feel like I haven't really had that much to say. I'm in a weird place–strangely. I don't know what to say about it actually. So here's life right now–in some small dim snapshot.
* Impending financial ruin
* The continued recognition of the END of a community that I spent a decade pouring my energies into creating and continuing. The exhausting realization that many of the people who I dedicated much of my life to, will simply not remember me fondly–and God THAT HURTS.
*Needing faith for the same reason that it's hard to find (thanks for the words JR)
*watching things that should inspire and give hope–current religious movements etc–follow the same pattern as other movements…and not being surprised or even disappointed–but still wondering if there is anything that transcends humanities arching cycles.
*Bored out of my mind in my current job in a job market that is "in a midlife crisis" (but thankful to have a job)
*bla bla blah…
* Reinvention possibilities–it looks like we may very well be moving to Portland, SE, to be closer to many of our great friends who have serendipitously cropped up within the last year.
*Helping organize and then even performing again at HOMESPUN SUMMER CONCERTS, together with friends
*The little network of stragglers, adventing adventurers, refugees who have somehow gathered…not towards any specific end–but rather locked in a mutual recognition of the places that we have been and where we are, this is truly refreshing.
*Our vegetable garden
*Rediscovering music, my passion for writing and performing it.
*Seeing myself for myself and being ok with who that is–in my worst…i don't know if i've ever been quite so honest with myself or quite so accepting.
*Enjoying our two wonderful boys Ransom and Judah.
*Pursuing my Master's degree in something related to systemic thinking, strategic foresight, community development and organizational psychology.
*Discovering music that I never had but probably should have…such as Josh Ritter:

Town meeting column was off baseMarch 08,2013
Mr. Pappas wrote a very eloquent piece asking if town meetings should be abandoned in favor of the more efficient Australian ballot system. His argument is that the present town meeting is a legacy of a bygone era, a simpler time, when citizens could effectively vote on important local issues. He feels the present town meeting has become a showcase for the ill-informed and bad-tempered. In short: Wrong decisions are made and feelings are hurt. If we replaced the circus with informational meetings and private balloting, this would safeguard the democratic process and deliver better results by informed people who are free from mob rule. I believe Mr. Pappas is correct in saying that a more representative, efficient system could be devised, but I think his arguments fall short.
The notion that the essential character of the meeting has been warped is wrong. His view of yesteryears civic gatherings is filled with corn-syrup treacle even invoking Norman Rockwell. I spoke with a friend who was a selectman 25 years ago in an unnamed small Vermont town. This new flatlander selectman brought up the idea of issuing a zoning regulation limiting the number of abandoned cars that were allowed in yards. He was immediately threatened with violence. The motion was withdrawn. (Note: This town still has no local zoning.) Its an extreme case, but it speaks to something at the heart of Pappas argument rationality, civility and efficiency are in the public interest.
Hard to argue the other side, but Im going to try. That town I mentioned has a neighboring town which adopted stringent rules. The result is that town has economically prospered it isnt all attributed to zoning regs, but certainly that helped. It attracted numerous families from away. One could make a very strong case that my friends town should have done the same. The format of the town meeting aided in preventing change. Case closed; however, there is something the former town retains which the other town has lost a real sense of community.
Its hard to explain, and it sounds irrational, but my friends town, with its continually cantankerous town meeting, retained something that the other town lost. I have no fetish for ignorance or anger but the premium placed on clean civility and careful decision-making overrides something more important that cannot be quantified. We are a state that has been born of hardscrabble individualists, and that legacy should stand. In a political scientists world things are broken, but I never really thought academics have their finger on the pulse. People are as ignorant, uninformed and bullying as they always were.
I am from away and have lived in many more efficient places, but I choose to live in Vermont. Behind the clean facade of other states maximally efficient local governments lies a nasty dehumanizing slow death of anonymity.
I was present at this years town of Plainfield slugfest. As a selectman, I can tell you I did not relish spending hours watching neighbor savage neighbor over a badly worded amendment. There is, however, something more to the process than can be easily described. Trying to explain the nuance is impossible in a scientific light. It doesnt make sense that a less-efficient, more-acrimonious system would build a better sense of community, but it does.
Mr. Pappas is absolutely correct, but hes wrong.
I think Vermonters town meetings echo the spirit of the famous quote by Winston Churchill: We can always count on the Americans to do the right thing, after they have exhausted all the other possibilities.
And as Vermonters, we wouldnt want it any other way.

WIC in Vermont
Before Birth
Start your prenatal care as soon as you know you are pregnant. Getting regular checkups with your health care provider will help you have a healthy pregnancy and a healthy baby. If you need help finding a doctor, call your WIC office and they can offer assistance. Eating well during pregnancy is just one way to help give your baby a good start in life. The WIC program is here to help you.
Thinking Ahead
It's not too early to start thinking about how you will feed your baby. For most babies, breastfeeding is the healthiest choice. Breast milk is very nutritious and easy for babies to digest. In addition, breastfed babies are healthier and are less likely to have allergies, colds, ear infections, diarrhea, and some other sicknesses. Talk to your doctor or your WIC nutritionist now about breastfeeding -the best choice for you and your baby.
Eating for Two
When you are pregnant, in a way you really do need to eat for two. Eating a variety of healthy foods will give you what you need for your baby's healthy growth and development.
Healthy Weight Gain
Gaining the right amount of weight during pregnancy is good for you and your baby and can make it easier to lose the weight after your baby is born.
Staying Active
Regular physical activity like walking, swimming, and yoga keeps your body moving to help you stay fit during pregnancy.
Pregnancy Discomforts
Some of the common complaints during pregnancy include morning sickness, heartburn, and
constipation. There are some things you can do to lessen these discomforts.
Keep your Baby Safe
Smoking, alcohol, medications and other drugs can be very dangerous for your baby. If you need help to stop smoking, or using alcohol, or other drugs during your pregnancy, talk with someone who can help, such as your doctor, WIC office, or other healthcare provider.
049: Zero Alcohol for Nine MonthsAlcohol can affect a baby's development in the very first weeks, even before you know you're pregnant. Here's what women who are pregnant, trying to become pregnant, or may become pregnant need to know about drinking alcohol during pregnancy.

text: My lil guy is 6 months old and has been exclusively breast fed from day1 with no real trouble. Now that he has his two bottom teeth, BFing is becoming something I dread. He is biting pretty much every time he feeds and I have absolutely no idea what to do about it! Anyone else have this problem or any suggestions? I've heard I shouldn't flick because it could make him protest BFing, and I can't pull him off when he does it, even though that's my first instinct, because he just bights down harder. My mom never BF'd me and my sister stopped BFing her kids before they got teeth and nobody else has ever had this problem that I have talked to.

Dear Members,
Keep in mind that Character Bashing is now prohibited. Making fun of certain characters/character pairings leads to a pointless thread filled with insults and general rule breaking.
Also, remember that Versus threads are allowed only in the Versus section.
Thank you, NarutoBase Staff
Is it a receiver? a transmitter? or branch? the black thing looks sharp and pointed... what is this thing?
yeah hank you I thought I was he only one who noticed that 1st- it could black roots growing which could mean the beginnning of black zetsu or 2nd- it could be what you get when you mix senju with uchiha eyes almost like nagato who created black chakra rods as well; and if they are chakra rods then maybe madara was controlling him
They are black chakra rods for sure, not zetsu imo
But can't explain why they are there
I'm not quite sure myself, there are several things that didn't make sense in this chapter. For example, oh I don't know, Obito crying out of a non-existing eye in the last page.
U don't need an eyeball to cry
Of course, until the next couple chapters come out I can't be sure but I think it comes with the mixture of Senju and Uchiha DNA, seeing as they look like the Rinnegan Bars.
I think it's one of the Mists blades that he got stabbed by..I don't know.
I don't care to know because this chapter was horrible and so confusing..

Lol, you don't need eyes to cry.
OT: It's either him or Zetsu using Wood Release. It's not chakra rods people, they're branches.
Originally Posted by Valen

*googles* Holy f*cking shit.
Yeah I saw those yesterday. I guess it makes since. His body with uchiha and senju blood make him suitable to control the Gedu Maza. Which also means that he can control the Rinengan
it should probably be the zetsu he's attached to
No, that's an afro
its simple. zetsu is made out of the gedo mazo. gedo mazo makes the chacra rods. he put em in nagato's back. and now i provided obito with the rods trough zetsu
yes, it is black chakra rods! if obito has ems, he get rinnegan!
to me it looks simaler to wood release. wooden spiked roots or something coming out his body using senju dna

Fletcher Allen largest Vt private employer
MONTPELIER For years it was a Vermont truism that the IBM plant in Essex Junction was the states largest private employer.
But with little fanfare, the mantle was assumed several years ago by Fletcher Allen Health Care in Burlington.
Still, Internet searches for Vermonts largest employer return results showing IBM as the leader.
But as the IBM plant has shrunk, Fletcher Allen Health Care has continued to grow.
Fletcher Allen Health Care spokesman Mike Noble said Monday the hospitals payroll department issues about 7,100 checks every pay period with about 5,500 full-time employees.
IBM no longer publicly releases its employment figures, but spokesman Jeff Couture said the last time the company reported its employment numbers it had about 5,000 people. There has been more than one round of layoffs since then, including one last month.
Couture said he felt that IBM could still claim the top ranking as the states largest for-profit employer.
Labor Commissioner Annie Noonan says privacy rules prevent her from saying how many people IBM employs, but when asked if she felt Fletcher Allen was the states largest employer she answered, Yes.
The state of Vermont is the states largest employer, with about 7,800 employees.MORE IN Vermont NewsAs Rutland prepares to welcome Syrian refugees to its community, some are continuing to voice... Full StoryMONTPELIER Gov. Full StoryMONTPELIER Gov. Full Story

Not long ago, I accused you, perhaps hastily, of ruining the entire Internet. I blamed you for absent-mindedly destroying the most valuable advancement in interpersonal connection since the advent of language just by being your miserable, wretched, greedy self.
It's possible I overreacted.
I neglected to include the equal number of extraordinary and inspiring ways your online habits are actually improving the Internet every day, and by default society as a whole. So I'd like to personally say I'm sorry, [your name here], you're not that bad after all.
John Foxx/photos.com
Ugh, well at least not for the reasons I stipulated.
Now, I think we can agree that it takes a tremendous amount of character for someone to admit when he was wrong, and because I am the type of someone who spews character from every orifice, I want to do more than apologize -- I want to make it up to you. What follows are four ways you are helping to make us all better people by the way you use the Internet. I am laying them all out carefully for you to see because I suspect that you might be doing all of them by accident. Sorry, apologies are hard.
4 You're Making Knowledge Cool
darren baker/photos.com
Poor nerds. They had a brief window of time when the spotlight of pop culture finally illuminated their passions and then, just as quickly, all the coattail riders and scenery chewers crowded around them, proclaiming, "Hey, I'm a nerd, too! Look at me, look at how I geek out for, uh ... tacos!" The rise of the nerd and the rise of the Internet happened almost simultaneously. Expertise in any subject, no matter how niche or fictional, suddenly became currency for popularity. And while I can understand why it's frustrating for dinosaur diehards and elvish-speaking Tolkien lovers to suddenly have their favorite franchise or hobby diluted with bandwagon fanatics, the fact that the Internet is making knowledge cool is, in the end, a good thing.
Less than 15 years ago, intelligence might as well have been a curse as far as pop culture was concerned. A fixation on anything from the sciences to the seven kingdoms made you a social outcast. But today, almost 800,000 people are willing to sit patiently for 12 minutes watching someone bake bread.
Or watching someone explain complex laws of physics.
Or watching a bunch of assholes name analogues between the Ninja Turtles and the four humors.
We've fallen in love with knowledge, and that's almost exclusively a product of how you use the Internet. You hunt for novelty, relentlessly, and when that novelty doesn't manifest as sloths cuddling with cats, it usually takes the form of information. In fact, the only reason I have a job is because the Internet loves to consume interesting, unique facts. It's hard to argue that becoming smarter is a bad thing.
So the next time you scroll through your Facebook feed and find someone with whom you grew up screaming "I love science!" despite the fact that you know they never went to a single science class and did nothing but complain about how boring it was in high school, think about the alternative -- I'd much rather live in a world where people celebrate knowledge, even if it's blindly, than a world where everyone dismisses it as geek fuel.
3 You're Making Advertisements Fun
There's a very good reason why print and television advertisements suck: The creators have to make each one as watered down and broad as possible to ensure that they reach the largest audience given their placement. They can't be too clever or they risk millions of people missing the joke; they can't be too long or they risk millions of people losing interest; and they can't be too rapey because rapists are not traditionally strong consumer spenders. But above all, they can't interact with their audience. Their best hope is to shout loud enough that people pay attention briefly before flipping the page or changing the channel.
But the Internet is different. Granted, there are still the same stubborn people trying to create television commercials as pre-rolls or by tacking ads onto Facebook about how dentists want to kill a stay-at-home mother for unlocking the secret to whiter teeth or something. But smarter companies are realizing the power of virality. They're figuring out that they are finally free to do exactly what they've always wanted: focus hundreds of thousands of dollars on making the world genuinely magic for just one person so that he or she remembers the product forever. Like this joint ad for Coke Zero and SkyFall.
Or TNT advertising "drama," just as a general concept.
That kind of promotion was never viable before because only one guy got to experience it. But our Internet habits have assured advertisers that we're all happy to live vicariously through that guy as long as somebody filmed it. The campaign doesn't have to worry about demographics or time slots or anything other than making something that's incredible, because if it's incredible, we will spread it around for them. And I'm fine with that. I'm happy to do the legwork because they made someone's life extraordinary for a few minutes, and that's way better than ruining a classic rock song while shouting at me about zero due at signing.

The Ziegfeld rocks. Mr. Met rocks. Losing three to the Phillies DOES. NOT. ROCK.
Okay, but look what I got! I've been waiting years for this. He hugged me. We fist tapped. Mr. Met and I bonded, and now he is my boo.
You've voted right?? Well, vote again! Often! You've got until Sept. 6. Let's wrap this up for my boo, folks.
The next time the Mets, Screenvision, and the Clearview Ziegfeld combine forces to put the game on the big screen, I recommend you go. It was the closest thing you can get to being at the game. Mr. Met was there. The Pepsi brigade was there. They had an organist! There were vendors in the aisles, hot dogs and beer, singing Meet the Mets, the 7th inning stretch, Pepsi shirts being thrown around. And look! I got this pom pom by asking nicely, even thought it was supposed to be only for kids. That's Coop underneath–hi Coop!
Even better? 1969's Bud Harrelson stopped by to talk to and joke with the crowd between innings. As did SNY's own Chris Cotter and Lee Mazzilli! Mazz did a goofy dance in honor of the famous "Ziegfeld girls" of yore. I missed capturing that gem, alas, but I got the tail end of his musings on what he likes about broadcasting. Not a great clip, but it can give you a sense of the evening:
There were other highlights. The crowd cheering Delgado on as he tried to continue his mini hot streak. Collective chants of "Paul Lo Duca! Clap clap clap-clap-clap" and "Endy! Endy! Endy!" And, of course, going wild when our golden boy David Wright knocked out a first inning bomb:
4 Comments
i refuse to talk about this game and will instead say that mr. met is one hot piece of ball.
You got tons of face time on the big screen, well done.
I was happy to pimp for Mr. Met and tried to get the mascot website publicized, but at one point, the camera focused in on us just cheering, and I got shy and dipped my head. The camera man looked angry with me😦
SNY had some highlights from the Ziegfeld. Looked like a great time (minus the loss). Hope they do it again- I'll definitely be there!


text: Its okay to admit your wrong sometimes. Your argument of on paper we look good but too bad paper can't play on the court. James Jones won the three point contest a couple of seasons ago if I'm not mistaken, and Mario Chalmers is almost shooting 50 percent from three. Dont forget about Shane Battier, he makes a living from the corner.

The madness began last night with the NCAA Basketball Tournament. Sixty four teams over the next few weeks are playing for the title of National Champion.
For the plant lovers, I like to think of March Madness as the time when the plants start their flurry. Last night, I gave a quick count of what's in bloom on campus, in the neighborhoods and in my own garden. I came up with an impressive list of 39 "teams".
By the end of the weekend the basketball field will be reduced by halve. Not so on our side of the court! The numbers of plant teams will only be increasing. This weekend go out in the yard and put together your list of teams. Everyone counts, from the blooms of the 3 inch Puschkinia to the small red flowers of the 60 foot red maple.
There is no winner in the plant world, but to all that are watching your brackets closely…good luck.
