WOODBURY - Politicians are remembering former New York City Mayor Ed Koch in the wake of his death.
The 88-year-old died yesterday of congestive heart failure. Koch served three terms as mayor from 1978-1989, and he is credited for steering New York back from the brink of financial ruin.
President Barack Obama called Koch a "quintessential New Yorker."
The Clinton family said people couldn't help but like him, regardless of political affiliation.
Sen. Alfonse D'Amato said the mayor never shied away from a good fight.
Mayor Michael Bloomberg is set to speak at Koch's funeral Monday. Koch's family will sit shiva at Gracie Mansion on Tuesday. He will be buried in Manhattan.

Hawkeyes fly past BuckeyesThe Associated Press | January 13,2014COLUMBUS, Ohio Roy Devin Marble scored 22 points, Aaron White added 19 and No. 20 Iowa ended the game on a 22-9 run to hand No. 3 Ohio State its second loss of the week, 84-74 on Sunday.
Melsahn Besabe had 11 points and 10 rebounds, Mike Gesell added 11 points and Jarrod Uthoff had 10 for the Hawkeyes (14-3, 3-1 Big Ten), who ended a string of eight straight losses to the Buckeyes.
LaQuinton Ross scored 22 points, Amir Williams had 11 and Lenzelle Smith Jr. 10 for Ohio State (15-2, 2-2), which had opened with 15 consecutive wins. The Buckeyes fell 72-68 in overtime at No. 5 Michigan State on Tuesday night.
It was Iowas first win over a top 5 team since an 83-65 victory at No. 2 Missouri on Dec. 15, 2001.
Iowa was 0-2 on opponents home courts coming in. Their three losses have come against teams with a combined 45-2 record (Villanova, Iowa State and Wisconsin) with each loss coming by five or fewer points.
The Hawkeyes had not won in Columbus since 2004, losing on their last seven trips.
No. 12 LOUISVILLE 71, SMU 63
LOUISVILLE, Ky. Luke Hancock had a career-high 23 points, including two free throws with 46 seconds remaining, for Louisville in a meeting of Hall of Fame coaches.
Hancocks second straight 20-point game helped Rick Pitinos Cardinals (14-3, 3-1 American Athletic Conference) get the final word in his first collegiate matchup against Larry Brown and his Mustangs (11-4, 1-2).
Making his first start despite dealing with a left Achilles issue, the senior guard made 8 of 15 from the field 4 of 9 from 3-point range to help keep Louisville ahead in a tense game that Montrezl Harrell finally settled with a dunk and a block after Hancocks free throws.
Russ Smith scored 23 points and Harrell added 12 points and 13 rebounds as Louisville bounced back from Thursdays loss to No. 24 Memphis with 47 percent shooting, despite being outrebounded 48-35 including 20-6 on the offensive end.
Markus Kennedy had 12 points and eight rebounds in his first start of the season for SMU while Shawn Williams added 10 points. The Mustangs hit just 24 of 65 from the field (a season-low 37 percent), well below their league-best 50 percent mark coming in.
SMU made just 13 of 25 free throws and were only 2 of 11 from beyond the arc.
No. 13 SAN DIEGO ST. 79, AIR FORCE 72
AIR FORCE ACADEMY, Colo. JJ OBrien had 18 points and 11 rebounds as San Diego State extended its winning streak to 13 games.
It is the second-longest winning streak in school history for the Aztecs (14-1, 3-0 Mountain West) and it continues their second-best start ever behind 20-0 in 2010-11.
Tre Coggins had 29 points, including five 3-pointers, for the Falcons (8-7, 2-2), who led for much of the first half before trailing 31-27 at the break.
The Aztecs held a 39-30 rebounding edge including 17-6 on the offensive end. The Aztecs were 7 of 14 from beyond the arc while the Falcons were 7 of 20.
Xavier Thames had 16 points for the Aztecs and Josh Davis added 13 points and 11 rebounds.
WASHINGTON 71, No. 15 COLORADO 54
SEATTLE C.J. Wilcox set career highs with seven 3-pointers and 31 points, including 21 in the second half, for Washington.
Washington (11-6, 3-1 Pac-12) had lost 12 straight against ranked teams.
Colorado (14-3, 3-1) never recovered after leading scorer Spencer Dinwiddie crumbled to the court late in the first half after his left knee buckled while dribbling on a fast break. Dinwiddie had to be helped to the locker room by teammates and did not return.
The Huskies outscored the Buffaloes 49-29 after Dinwiddies injury.
Josh Scott led Colorado with 15 points. Askia Booker, the reigning Pac-12 player of the week, was 0 for 9 from the field and went scoreless for just the second time in his college career.MORE IN Wire SportsORLANDO, Fla.

Rated 5 out of 5Â by slypants Comfy Style I like the easy dressing with this nightgown - no tight neckline to fight with! The shorter length is appreciated since I'm only 5'1"! The lace is feminine without being too fussy. March 26, 2016
Rated 5 out of 5Â by Hedgiemom A Warm Winter I love buying my flannel nightgowns from Vermont Country Store. The size is always right and the material great. February 25, 2016
Rated 5 out of 5Â by Madam Principal beautiful quality product My mom loved this nightgown. Light weight but warm and cozy. January 15, 2016
Rated 4 out of 5Â by ;Stina Success overall! I have had MANY Lanz nightgowns from The Vermont Country Store. This one was given to me for Christmas by my husband and upon it's first washing (in cold water) the red stripe ran into the white background resulting in a light pink background. A first! Never had one run before! I called Customer Service and another was sent immediately. I was advised to keep the first until I could get the second and try washing it. The second ran worse BUT I love the nightgown SO much and am keeping one and have returned the other. No matter what the problem, The Vermont Country Store ALWAYS solves it to your satisfaction. It is certainly not their fault that Lanz is having a problem. I will sleep in cozy warmth tonight knowing that I have been taken care of - as always! Thank You to all at TVCS!! January 12, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5Â by Chance's Mom Terrific quality My 84-year-old mother lives in Vermont and happily wears Lanz flannel nightgowns from early Fall until April! She has had several of them for four years and says they show no wear. I sent her the red striped one this year and she's pleased to have one that 'looks like Christmas.' December 23, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5Â by snowywhiteowl Lanz tyrolean print flannel nightgown I have this particular gown in the blue and the red color. They are extremely soft and comfortable on cold winter nights. So far, they tend to wash well and take to the dryer with ease. I don't usually put clothes in the dryer but, this was large enough that I could take the chance. It turned out fine whereas most things tend to seriously shrink once they are put in the dryer. I can also stick with my normal size small in the Lanz brand and not worry about it shrinking and having to resort to a medium. December 7, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5Â by Aunty Janie Nice and Warm for Winter I love this nightgown! For those cold winters nights, this is the best VCT has to offer for staying nice and warm. The quality of Lanz nightgowns has always been superior to most other flannel nightgowns; which is why these nightgowns have remained popular for over 60 years. The price of Lanz nightgowns has become quite pricey, so I can not afford to purchase more than one at a time; so every few years, when one finally wears out, I then buy another! September 7, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5Â by Verified Reviewer Grandma and Granddaughter in similar nightgowns. I have not had a Lanz nightgown in years and saw them on the cover of your catalog and ordered one for me and one for my granddaughter. We've hardly taken them off since Christmas - so soft and fits beautifully. I have never ordered from VCS before and will do so often now. Thank you. January 9, 2014

So DS is 5 months and he weighs exactly 15.0 pounds. It sounds normal but he has lost .3 pounds since I weighed him at 4 months
His diaper output is good. He is alert and happy. I would not have even known if I did not weigh him so I can write it in his baby book.
Is this.. okay?

As a young gay man—and a werepanther—all Jin Rayne yearns for is a normal life. Having fled his past, he wants nothing more than to start over, but Jin's old life doesn't want to let him go. When his travels bring him to a new city, he crosses paths with the leader of the local were-tribe.
Logan Church is a shock and an enigma, and Jin fears that Logan is both the mate he fears and the love of his life. Jin doesn't want to go back to the old ways, and mating would irrevocably tie him to them. But Jin is the mate Logan needs at his side to help him lead his tribe, and he won't give Jin up so easily. It will take time and trust for Jin to discover the joy in belonging to Logan and how to love without restraint.
©2009 Mary Calmes (P)2009 Dreamspinner Press
"With secondary characters that are just as strongly written and a story that runs smoothly this engrossing story will keep the reader's attention till the very last page." (Rainbow-Reviews.com)
"Great idea but..."
I want to start off by saying that despite all the flaws this book has, I did enjoy it. It had a nice idea of a story and the sex scenes were very well put together. However, this does not excuse the flaws.
Fist things first, the narrator was not fantastic. He reminded me of Fozzy from the Muppets in some cases. The voices he used for the different characters were just... off. I could not in any way take Logan seriously because he was given this deep unrealistic voice that sounded like he was trying to cover up the fact that he smoked.
Second, the point of Jin being this super special snowflake and was ultra rare, was DRIVEN HOME EVERY OTHER SENTENCE! I swear by the middle of the book I was sick to death of hearing about how this kid was a reah. I know the main plot point of this book was him being a reah, but we get it after the first twelve times. The next 108 times of driving this home is stupid. It's like the author thought we wouldn't remember or something. The reah point is not the only thing driven home. Points are beaten to death over and over again, until their effectiveness is gone.
Third, the way the gay subject is brought up just bothers me. This might be because I'm a lesbian and have studied sexuality just a little bit, but Logan just becoming gay is not realistic. I'm a little disappointed in the author for not taken the time to understand and research male sexuality. And yes, I get it. This book was meant for the boylove/yaoi girl crowed but that's not an excuse for lazy writing. Logan could have every well have been straight and Jin was his one exception. Why couldn't he be bisexual? And the idea that it was a specific obstacle for Jin was really pointless with all the sex they had, not to mention that they keep saying that Logan and Jin can feel each other's emotions, because he's a reah!
Over all, the weak points of the book were a bit too much for me to give this any higher then two stars. I could have been a lot better.
"Great story"
I really enjoyed this story and would like to see much more like it. I liked the timbre of the narrator's voice, however I felt he read most of this much too fast. Some of the action scenes called for excitement and fast reading, however it sounded like he just wanted to get the reading over with unfortunately. For that reason only, I did not give the full 5 star rating.
reading with a coffee in my hands
"great book great author! Funny narator?"
Okay I really enjoy this writer and like the book. The narrator? His main character is okay but the best friend Crane? He sounds like a Muppet!! The voices actually make the humor funnier but I admit I have not gotten to a sex scene yet. Not sure if I will be able to listen! I have already read it in ebook form so I know the story but I will say if you have an extra credit go ahead and listen. If you do not, read the book first!
"I love this series"
I loved this series. I am not into all the shifting stuff, but I fell in love with this series! I love the characters, love Jin and fall in love with all the characters as the series continue
The warder series, by Mary Calmes and Wake me Up by Cardeno C. (mates series)
The voices, one of my favorite narrators
"Nice that we have other shifters"
It was nice to read about shifters in another form than werewolves, if for nothing else than diversity.
I liked the way the main character was special, powerful and yet vulnerable and with flaws that he realized along the way.
Only reason the performance is 'only' four stars is because the girls (as with a great many male narrators) sound silly, and the best friend sound (as another reviewer has commented) like a muppet. It might be a little disturbing in the beginning but after a while it becomes fades to the back ground. Sean Crisden is a lovely narrator in all other aspects; I loved his voice and the reading pace. It is one of my favourite night time books.
"Interesting reaction"
Wouldn't know. I haven't seen the print version.
I think I liked Caine a lot. Just didn't like the goofy voice he was portrayed with. But I am a sucker for loyal best friends.
Not sure.
Since I listened to the audio version of this book and am wondering how much that affected my experience.
It was a good book. I heard many people say they cried. It takes a lot to make me cry, and I admit, I was sad. It leaves me wondering if, had I read it myself and the voices in my head as I read were my own, I might have felt the trauma more deeply. As it was, one thing I was not in love with was the odd voice the reader used to portray Caine. To my ear, he sounded a little too goofy, and I had a hard time taking him seriously.
But I did enjoy the book, and I will definitely read the other two in the series, so thank you, Mary, for a great read
"I should have read it."
First and for most, this is a pure unadulterated FLUFF. It's a hot story about two guys getting in on against a background of supernatural fun. It even means to raise the complex issue of the nature of sexuality and the specter of homophobia and family expectations. However, that being said, this story is FLUFF! If you want more than that a more complicated look at these issues - go look elsewhere. But if you want a bit of hot, guilty little pleasure - have at.
My one MAJOR issue with this is the reader. He's not bad but he reads these really hot sex as if he was stating a list of facts. Still, he's not bad. I'd give a listen to the free preview and decide whether he bugs you or not. If you anything like me, you'll be a little annoyed at first and then get used to it.
"Great book, okay author"
This book was largely very well written. There were just a few points that I thought didn't come across quite right but for the most part I thought this book was great from a writing perspective and would definitely read or listen to another book by this author. Or even a sequel if she'd like to tell the story of some of the lesser characters or continue the story of the principles.
The narrator was just okay for me. I respect the narrators greatly as I would imagine it's a very difficult job to get the character voices and narrating style down. However, this narrator seemed to be just a bit too focused on developing a different voice for each character and let's be frank there are quite a few in this book. As someone else stated the character of Crane, in particular, just didn't come across as well as I'm sure the narrator hoped. Also I felt his focus on the different character voices made it difficult for him to develop a good style and some parts come across as rushed or not sounding quite right to my ear.
Overall, though, I would definitely recommend this book. I'm already listening to it again.
Say something about yourself!
"Change of Heart ***Don't stop, keep going**"
I would recommend this to others who love this kind of story, because it is such a wonderfully romantic and sexy read.
The moment when Jin and Logan first meet each other's eyes! Impact! What a memorable moment.
Jin--Sean makes Jin so real, you almost feel like you are in the story with Jin.
Crane is also another character I love. He's funny and real, too.
Sean Crisden is now my favourite performer, he's great.
My extreme reaction is that I love it and now have both audiobook and book, I also have the sequels "Trusted Bond" and "Honored Vow". They are both brilliant.
Mary Calmes is on my book list for continuing to read.
"Really enjoyed"
I love the story and the characters are interesting. It was a good read. Loved it.
This title was my debut to both Mary Calmes and the narator Sean Crisden. Off the bat I was blown away by the narators enthusiastic performance, in stiches in the funny bits on edge in the action and enraptured by the sexy scenes. He really made the characters live for me, I even got used to the nasal voice of Jin's best frient Crane. The story itself is a wonderful M/M shapeshifter romance with a twist. Not particularly original, however excellently written and engaging to the very last moment. Listening to this will have you running to buy her other works.
I love this story and the sequels. The writing is lovely as is the narration. The story has real depth and the characters are likeable.
"A fresh and interesting shapeshifter story"
I normally avoid books written in the first person but this story was a wonderful exception to the rule. The characters are well rounded, interesting, and believable. Jin is a were-panther who doesn't want anything to do with the were-panther society after he was thrown out of his own pack, along with his childhood friend Crane. Circumstances beyond his control change that and he copes with humor and pragmatism.
Calmes is an inventive and imaginative writer and I am looking forward to the continuation of this series.Well, pretty much any other books from her :).
"Change of Heart"
This has to be my favourite book this year. I feel in love with all of the very well written characters. I have listened to it a thousand time and do not tire of it. The friendships and loves that unfold are great. It makes you wish you had relationships like them.

SULLIVAN COUNTY, NY — Members of the group MoveOnSullivanNY travelled in a caravan around the county on January 22 spreading the word about their opposition to the Supreme Court decision known as Citizens United v. Federal Election Commission.
In the five to four decision that was handed down on January 21, 2010, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that advocacy groups such as Citizens United and other entities, such as corporations and unions, can spend as much money as they want in an effort to influence the results of federal elections.
The ruling also reinforced the legal construct in the United States that corporations are people and therefore have the same rights as people, a position which several groups in the United States oppose.
The residents traveled in a caravan of cars festooned with flags and painted with slogans; they visited Liberty, Livingston Manor, Jeffersonville and Callicoon. They handed out literature and gathered signatures for a constitutional amendment that would, among other things, abolish corporate personhood and establish that money is not speech.
One of the organizers, Kathie Aberman, said the group is going to ask the Sullivan County Legislature to pass a resolution supporting the idea of the constitutional amendment as other municipal governments have done. Some 50 cities have proposed resolutions in opposition to corporate personhood, including New York City, where the city council passed a resolution on January 4. More information about the movement is available at movetoamend.org.
But is a constitutional amendment a practical goal? Not according to Michael Sussman, a well-known attorney in the region who is often associated with progressive causes. He gave a talk at the Ted Stroebel Community Center in Monticello after the caravan had finished its route.
He said a push for a constitutional amendment was not likely to be successful, in part because it would need to be approved by 37 states, and he did not believe that is likely.
While he called the Citizens United decision a bad one, he said that there were other decisions that were equally deserving of attention, such as the Garcetti v. Ceballos decision in 2006. In that case, an assistant district attorney, Richard Ceballos, raised objections about "serious misrepresentations" in a warrant. He wrote a memo recommending the related case be dismissed, and claimed that, because of the memo, he was retaliated against. Ceballos said, therefore, his First Amendment right to free speech was violated. But in a five-to-four decision, the Supreme Court ruled that federal employees don't have a right to free speech if that speech is connected to their employment.
Returning to Citizens United, he said, "It's a bad decision; however, there's a huge controversy among progressive legal thinkers about it. A lot of progressive legal thinkers feel that labor unions and corporations, given where we are in American society, should be able to do whatever they want."
He said he thought a push to amend the Constitution would be a waste of time. But, he said, a similar goal that might be attainable would be campaign reform in New York State, which Governor Andrew Cuomo has said he would pursue.

Safety C.J. Spillman posted an Instagram video of his teammates celebrating Davis' return in the team's locker room.
Davis, 30, skipped a mandatory minicamp in June and earlier voluntary workouts in a bid to get his contract reworked. Davis is the fourth highest-paid tight end in the NFL.
Davis' contract runs through 2015. He is schedule to earn base salaries of $4.7 million this year and $4.35 million next year.
ESPN.com reported that a source said Tuesday night that Davis was likely headed to camp because he didn't want to incur a daily fine of $30,000 for missing training camp practices.
Meanwhile, guard Alex Boone is expected to continue his holdout into training camp. Boone, 27, is considered a top guard although he is the 43rd highest-paid guard in the NFL, according to ESPN.

Michele Aavang, who farms near Greenwood with her husband, Gary, is in the midst of several responsibilities related to her new position as president of the McHenry County Farm Bureau.
Aavang is the first woman to serve as president of the MCFB during its 100 years. Since the MCFB was organized in 1912, 29 men have served as president. She served as vice president during Bruce Meier's last year as president in 2011-12.
"One of my goals is not only to increase membership but encourage current members to become involved in farm bureau. Farm bureau has many programs, and we are always looking for interested individuals to participate," Aavang said.
Active in her community, Aavang is secretary of the Greenwood Cemetery Association board and president of the Woodstock Farmers Market. She is a former two-term trustee for the village of Greenwood and was a 4-H Club leader for several years. Aavang is currently running to become a member of the McHenry County Board in District 6.
Michele and Gary raise corn, soybeans, wheat, oats and hay on their farm. They have a commercial cow-calf operation marketed through the local farmers markets. Gary's family has deep roots in McHenry County, farming in Greenwood Township since the 1840s.
"I'm passionate about agriculture and feel strongly about communicating with the non-farm public," Aavang said.
One of her first opportunities was to recognize U.S. Rep. Randy Hultgren, R-Winfield, as a "Friend of Agriculture" on Tuesday. Farm bureau initiated the friend program to recognize legislative leaders who support farm bureau's position on current farm policy issues.
In his first term, Hultgren has compiled a 98 percent voting record on Illinois Farm Bureau priority issues. In this session of Congress, he voted for each of the three free trade agreements that will boost agricultural exports.
As a member of the House Agriculture Committee, Hultgren is supporting a House version of the farm bill that would strengthen risk management tools for farmers, tighten eligibility requirements for food stamp recipients, and cut the federal budget deficit by $35 billion.
When IFB challenged state enforcement of agriculture trucking regulations, Hultgren supported farm bureau efforts. When the U.S. Department of Labor sought to impose new stringent regulations that would have prevented 14- and 15-year-olds from being able to learn valuable farm safety lessons on the farm, Hultgren again stepped in to assist.
Hultgren has consistently opposed the Environmental Protection Agency's unnecessary permitting requirements for pesticide applications. He has also voted for legislation to prevent the EPA from regulating farm dust and opposes EPA's attempt to expand its authority to regulate the Clean Water Act.
Don Peasley has been editor, columnist and historian in McHenry County since October 1947. He began his association with Shaw Publications in 1950. 815-338-1533.

Quiet enough to give you the drop on fish and tough enough to withstand the most extreme conditions.
Easy in. Easy out. Everyday. That's the thought behind the innovative stow/deploy mechanism on Riptide ST. The balanced motor design makes stowing easy, and a master cutoff switch automatically turns off the motor when stowed.
i-Pilot Link allows Riptide ST to communicate with your Humminbird fishfinder and LakeMaster digital GPS maps for unprecedented navigation control. Using your Humminbird or the full-color LCD screen on the Link remote, choose where you want to go. Then, your ST will take you there automatically. You can store and return to waypoints, spots and paths; follow depth contours; lock on to a spot; and more. All with integrated, automatic GPS power.
i-Pilot frees you up to focus on fishing. It uses GPS technology to remember paths and fishing spots on the water, activate cruise control, and give you command of speed, steering and Advanced AutoPilot. Optimize your Riptide ST with i-Pilot for unprecedented automatic boat positioning.
Digital Maximizer™ controls and optimizes power to extend battery life and reduce damaging heat. You'll stay on the water up to five times longer on a single charge.
Digital AutoPilot (select models) - Digitally controlled AutoPilot™ locks onto any heading you choose and delivers you there. Infinitely variable steering adjustments provide smoother course corrections and tighter heading accuracy against wind, waves and current. Included on select models. Also available as an add-on accessory.
Riptide ST Foot Pedal (optional) - Waterproof, low-profile electric steer foot pedal lets you take precise control with less than one degree of steering resolution. Features an IP68 waterproof rating. Sold separately.
CoPilot for Riptide ST - Fish from anywhere on the boat with CoPilot™. Only the Riptide ST's wireless CoPilot lets you activate AutoPilot or reach maximum power at the push of a button. You can also control speed, steering and prop on/off from anywhere on the boat. CoPilot can be mounted on your lanyard, rod or wrist for easy access.
Push weeds away and take on the thick stuff without battery-draining chopping and hacking. Weedless Wedge™ 2 features swept-back, flared blades for unrelenting, reliable prop performance.
Advanced Corrosion Protection - Riptide motors are impervious to saltwater's corrosive effects, thanks to premium-grade marine alloys and aluminum upper arms. Metals undergo a rigid multi-step cleaning process before being anodized or coated with a special zinc dichromate armor plating. All components are then finished with a durable 5-mil TGIC polyester, powder coat paint. When it's all done, you're left with unequaled corrosion protection.
Marine-grade urethane fully encapsulates Riptide control boards to protect the electronic circuitry. Also, all electrical connections are sealed with liquid-tight heat shrink tubing to form an impregnable barrier against saltwater.
Galvanic corrosion occurs when two dissimilar metals come into electrical contact through saltwater. Riptide fights back with a patented sacrificial zinc anode, a composite shaft and properly balanced materials that are close in electrical potential. The result is a motor that's completely protected from saltwater's destructive forces.
Pound for pound, the composite shaft is stronger than steel. It flexes on impact and won't break, kink or corrode. That's why it's the only trolling motor shaft that's guaranteed for life.
Nothing runs cooler or more quietly than a Minn Kota®. Extra large windings and commutators dissipate heat, resulting in cooler operation, extended battery power, and longer motor life. And our unique bearing system reduces friction to cut fish-spooking noise. So quiet, they'll never hear you coming.
The West Advisor articles have answered boaters' questions and provided solutions to boating problems for more than 20 years. West Marine has compiled one of the Web's most comprehensive collections of technical boating information articles.

How do I know if my dairy sensitivity is lactose intolerance?
Your symptoms could be a result of many different conditions (e.g. Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS), Lactose Intolerance or Milk Allergy). There is a simple test that can help you determine if lactose from dairy is causing your discomfort. Follow this link to take the Dairy Digestion Test. Please note, if you aren´t sure how your digestive system will react, we recommend taking the test on the weekend or at a time when you plan to be mostly at home. If this test indicates you may be lactose intolerant, you should confirm the diagnosis with your doctor. If you are lactose intolerant, LACTAID® Family of Products can help you enjoy dairy without the discomfort.
What is lactose intolerance?
Lactose intolerance is the inability to digest a sugar called lactose that's found mainly in milk and dairy products. Normally, the small intestine produces an enzyme called lactase, which breaks down lactose into two simple sugars, glucose and galactose, that can be absorbed into the bloodstream. People whose bodies don't make enough lactase can't fully digest lactose, causing mild to uncomfortable side effects.
Some people have a higher chance of being lactose intolerant. These groups include Hispanics, African Americans, Asians and people of Jewish descent. It also affects adults more than children, since the body produces less lactase enzyme as people age.
What are the symptoms of lactose intolerance?
Common signs and symptoms of lactose intolerance include:
1.Abdominal pain
These symptoms can be mild or severe depending on the amount of lactose consumed and the degree of lactase deficiency. Some people who produce small amounts of lactase may be able to tolerate small servings of dairy products and other foods containing lactose. Symptoms may appear anywhere from 30 minutes to two hours after eating dairy.
How is lactose intolerance diagnosed?
Lactose intolerance can be difficult to diagnose through symptoms alone, as similar symptoms may be caused by other conditions. The best way to confirm the condition is through specific tests ordered by your doctor. And if you don't have lactose intolerance, testing can point to other conditions that may be causing discomfort.
The most common self-diagnosis test used to measure the absorption of lactose in the digestive system is the dairy digestion test. If this test indicates you may be lactose intolerant, you should confirm the diagnosis with your doctor. If desired, your doctor can administer a Hydrogen Breath Test to diagnose Lactose Intolerance.
How is lactose intolerance treated?
While there's no cure for lactose intolerance, it can be easily managed.
The best methods are to:
1. Be aware of what foods contain lactose. Note that some dairy foods are better tolerated than others, such as yogurt and other fermented dairy products, and hard, aged cheeses.
2. Use LACTAID® Brand products to fully enjoy the dairy products you love without the discomfort.
I have symptoms with some dairy foods, but not all of them. Why does this happen? Does this mean I'm not lactose intolerant if I don't experience symptoms with all dairy foods?
The degree of lactase deficiency is different for everyone and so your sensitivity to each dairy food will be different. Some people who produce small amounts of lactase may be able to tolerate small servings of dairy products and other foods containing lactose.
Many people who are sensitive to dairy due to lactose can tolerate yogurt. The live cultures in yogurt can help break down the lactose. Foods like hard or aged cheeses – aged cheddar and swiss, for example – contain less lactose than milk, so they may be easier to tolerate.
The LACTAID® Brand also offers many lactose free products including milk, ice cream and cottage cheese, so you can still have the dairy foods you've always loved. To learn more about lactose levels is in your favorite foods, click here
With my sensitivity to dairy from lactose, what options do I have so I can enjoy dairy without discomfort?
The good news is that you do not have to avoid dairy. You can enjoy lactose free LACTAID® Milk, Ice Cream and Cottage Cheese, we've broken down the lactose so you can enjoy without a second thought.
We also offer LACTAID® Dietary Supplements to help you enjoy all the dairy foods you love anytime, anywhere. Supplements contain lactase, a natural enzyme that, when taken with your first bite of dairy, can help in the digestion of dairy products and prevent symptoms from developing in the first place.
How do you break down the lactose in your products?
LACTAID® Products contain lactase, a natural enzyme that helps break down lactose – the sugar found in dairy foods like milk, ice cream or cheese – into two simple sugars (galactose and glucose) that are easily digested. If not properly digested, lactose can cause gas, bloating, cramps, and/or diarrhea. LACTAID® Products can help people who have a sensitivity to dairy due to lactose digest dairy products without stomach discomfort.
How can I tell the difference between lactose intolerance and a milk allergy?
A milk allergy is often confused with lactose intolerance because some symptoms are similar. But the two conditions are very different. A milk allergy is a reaction by the immune system, but lactose intolerance affects the digestive system, when there's an inadequate supply of the lactase enzyme to break down lactose.
A milk allergy occurs when the immune system doesn't recognize one or more of the proteins in milk as being harmless, and reacts against them. The two main proteins in milk that are known to cause reactions are casein and whey. Casein and whey are also found in many processed foods. Infants are at a higher risk of suffering from a milk allergy, with around 2-3% of the world's population being affected. Although symptoms can be serious, the good news is that most children outgrow a milk allergy by age two or three.
Lactose intolerance is the inability to digest a sugar called lactose that's found mainly in milk and dairy products. Normally, the small intestine produces an enzyme called lactase, which breaks down lactose into two simple sugars, glucose and galactose, which can be absorbed into the bloodstream. People whose bodies don't make enough lactase can't fully digest lactose, causing mild to uncomfortable side effects.
Talk to your doctor to help you determine which condition you are experiencing and about finding the dietary approach that may work best for you.
How can I find out more about the products LACTAID® Brand offers?
The LACTAID® Brand has a range of products - from milk to ice cream and cottage cheese, and even supplements that help make the other dairy foods you love easy to digest.
Does LACTAID® Milk have all the nutrients of regular milk?
LACTAID® Milk is 100% real milk, just like any other milk brand. LACTAID® Milk contains all the nutrients found in regular milk – such as calcium, Vitamins A, D and B12, potassium, riboflavin and protein.
Will LACTAID® Milk taste like regular milk?
LACTAID® Milk tastes like other brands of milk, although some people find it to be slightly sweeter. This is because the lactose is already broken down into two other easily digested sugars, which are sweeter. LACTAID® Milk contains no added sugar.
I'm having difficulty finding LACTAID® , how can I find a store that carries it?
Have you tried out our product locator to locate LACTAID® Products in your area? Here is the link If you still didn't see the LACTAID® Product you were searching for in the product locator, then the best thing to do is to ask your store manager so they can order the product. Retailers decide if they want to carry a product, and if so, how much they wish to order. They will often start carrying a product that they normally do not if their customers request it.
Does LACTAID® Milk contain genetically engineered bovine growth hormone (rbGH/rbST)?
No. LACTAID® Milk comes from cows not treated with artificial growth hormones (rbGH/rbST). No significant difference has been shown between milk derived from rBST-treated and non-rBST-treated cows.
Why is the expiration date on LACTAID® Milk later than other brands of milk?
LACTAID® Milk is ultra-pasteurized, a process which allows the milk to last longer under proper refrigeration. Ultra-pasteurization does not affect the taste or nutritional value of the milk. Once opened, LACTAID® Milk should be consumed within one week for the best taste, as with other brands of milk.
Why are some LACTAID® Milks calcium fortified?
All LACTAID® Milks have the calcium that you would expect from other regular milk brands. However, some LACTAID® Milk versions are calcium-fortified so that the daily requirement for calcium can be obtained with fewer glasses of milk. LACTAID® Calcium Fortified Milk contains a high-quality form of calcium (tribasic calcium phosphate).
Is it safe to take LACTAID® Dietary Supplements daily?
Yes. LACTAID® Dietary Supplements contain a natural lactase enzyme and have an excellent safety profile. They are digested with the foods they are taken with and do not stay in the body. LACTAID® Dietary Supplements should be taken according to package instructions.
Does it matter when I take the LACTAID® Dietary Supplements?
You should take LACTAID® Dietary Supplements with the first bite of dairy for maximum effectiveness. Taking it too soon before a meal, or too late after consuming dairy, reduces how well the lactase enzyme can interact with the lactose in your digestive system.
How often should LACTAID® Dietary Supplements be used?
LACTAID® Dietary Supplements should be used every time dairy foods are eaten. They can be taken every day with every meal and should be eaten with your first bite of dairy. If necessary, you may take 2 supplements. If you continue to eat foods containing dairy after 30–45 minutes, take another supplement.
How many LACTAID® Dietary Supplements can I take in one day?
LACTAID® Dietary Supplements may be used every time you eat foods containing dairy. LACTAID® Dietary Supplements can be used with every meal and snack, every day.
How do I know how many LACTAID® Dietary Supplements I should take for each food I eat or drink?
Depending on the food you are eating and its level of lactose, coupled with your sensitivity to lactose, you will need to take one or two supplements with your first bite of dairy. If you continue to eat foods containing dairy after 30-45 minutes, we recommend you take another supplement.
Can children use LACTAID® Dietary Supplements?
Children 4 and older may use them every day, whenever they eat any dairy foods.
Are LACTAID® Products kosher?
All LACTAID® Products are kosher certified by the Orthodox Union and can be used year round, except during Passover.
Do LACTAID® Dairy Products contain gluten?
Most LACTAID® Dairy Products do not contain gluten. The only products that do contain gluten are LACTAID® Butter Pecan Ice Cream, LACTAID® Cookies & Cream Ice Cream and LACTAID® Berry Chocolate Crumble Ice Cream.
Can LACTAID® Products be used when pregnant or nursing?
LACTAID® Products may be used by anyone who has difficulty digesting the lactose in dairy foods. Pregnant or nursing women should always discuss diet, including dairy foods, with their doctor.
I'm having difficulty finding LACTAID® Strawberry & Cream Ice Cream. Do you know where I could find this product?
Due to consumer preference, the decision was made to discontinue our LACTAID® Strawberry & Cream Ice Cream. We thank you for your loyalty to the product. Please look for our 2 new flavors of LACTAID® Ice Cream – Salted Caramel Chip and Berry Chocolate Crumble!
What is LACTAID® Holiday Nog? Why is LACTAID® Eggnog labeled as Holiday Nog this year?
Avian flu is affecting the supply of eggs nationally, and this shortage is expected to continue throughout the 2015 holiday season. To continue providing consumers with this favorite festive seasonal beverage, the LACTAID® Brand will offer an egg-free version of eggnog, called "Holiday Nog," for the 2015 holiday season. LACTAID® Holiday Nog is a delicious, rich, lactose-free holiday treat made from real milk and cream.
Is there a nutritional difference between LACTAID® Eggnog and LACTAID® Holiday Nog?

With the acclaimed television films "Recount" and "Game Change" to his recent credit, Jay Roach is without question the go-to director these days for political dramas.
Even better, he's also the gifted helmer behind the "Austin Powers" and "Meet the Parents" films, which makes him the perfect candidate for the new Will Ferrell and Zach Galifianakis comedy satire, "The Campaign."
Or is it a comedy? After all, American politics comes off as a big farce at times, especially during campaign season.
"We've joked about how 'The Campaign' seems like more of a documentary than a broad comedy," Roach told me with a laugh in a recent interview. "We're one click away from having politicians making ads as outrageous as ours are."
Opening in theaters nationwide on Friday, "The Campaign" stars Ferrell as Cam Brady, a long-term Democratic congressman who is used to getting re-elected merely by placing his name on the ballot in the 14th district of North Carolina. But when a salacious call to his mistress ends up on the wrong answering machine and his popularity numbers plummet, a mousy, squeaky-clean Republican candidate named Marty Huggins (Galifianakis) is recruited in the hopes of unseating the freewheeling, carousing politico.
The problem is, as Marty is being groomed by a cutthroat campaign manager (Dermot Mulroney), the newbie's idealism is thrown out the door as the race turns into an all-out mudslinging match. No dirty game is off limits to either candidate -- or the special interest people behind them throwing loads of cash their way.
While "The Campaign" is about politics, naturally, Roach said there's no secret political agenda hidden within it. The movie doesn't take sides with Democrats or Republicans, but instead points out the faults of a system spinning wildly out of control.
"We wanted 'The Campaign' to be bipartisan-bashing enterprise," Roach said. "It's set it in North Carolina because it's a purple state, and we were very careful to make Will's character a Democrat and Zach's a Republican, because a comedy about a primary wouldn't work as well. The idea was to pit them against each as political opposites so the conflict would be as heightened as it could possibly be. We always hoped to make it a non-partisan film because we wanted to make fun of the system, the media and really, we in the population who fall for this stuff sometimes."
The great thing about "The Campaign" is that it shows what ridiculous lengths real-life candidates will go to plant ideas in prospective voters' minds. In one case, Marty tries to tie something Cam did as an 8-year-old to a future, socialist agenda.
"One of my favorite scenes is when Zach finds Will's second-grade essay about a rainbow and a pot of gold and calls it a communist manifesto, and half of the audience in the debate falls for it and a huge riot erupts," Roach said, laughing. "To me, right there, that's the story of our political climate."
As outrageously funny the scene is in the film, Roach believes that sometimes that's the sorry truth about people's beliefs when it comes to politics. They so badly want things to be true that they're willing to blindly accept them even if they aren't.
"Conflict sells and scandal sells," Roach observed. "The problem is nowadays, because there's so much pressure on every media outlet to stand out and so much pressure on every candidate to make such a big splash, the more outrageous it is, the better. If you don't educate yourself or care enough to learn about the issues, this is what you get. We're not preaching about that in the movie, we're laughing at it."
Apart from the comedy Roach found in the reality of "The Campaign," he said he was inspired by the passion both Ferrell and Galifianakis brought to their work.
"It's great to be involved in something that you feel has some relevance, but you mostly want people to enjoy these two guys' work -- they're two of the funniest guys I've ever gotten to work with," Roach said. "The way they've designed each of their characters to be so beautifully opposite is great. They're committed to trashing each other -- a kind of dynamic that's part of the political system these days."
As for work with other comedy greats, Roach hopes to reunite with Mike Myers on a fourth "Austin Powers" movie.
Ultimately, Roach said the decision all hinges on the film saga's groovy star.
"It's all up to Mike. I was unbelievably lucky that he asked me to do the first one and then went on to work on all three of them," Roach said. "If there's ever going to be a fourth one, it's going to have to be mind-blowingly good."
Although Myers only recently hinted publicly that he'd be interested in a fourth film, Roach said they've actually been bouncing around ideas for it since "Austin Powers in Goldmember" came out in 2002.
"We've been talking about it for 10 years off and on, saying, 'What about this idea? What about that idea?' I think when he feels he's cracked it, it'll happen and I'm there," Roach said. "I love Austin, but I also love Dr. Evil. Hopefully Dr. Evil and Mini-Me will re-emerge, too."

The Energy Department today recognized 25 winners across the federal government as recipients of the 2013 Federal Energy and Water Management Awards. These annual awards highlight federal agencies' commitments to lead the nation in implementing efficiency measures to improve energy, water, and vehicle fleet management that save taxpayer money and reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
Through their innovative efforts, winners, including staff serving the U.S. Air Force, Army, Marine Corps, and Navy; the Departments of Agriculture, Energy, Homeland Security, Interior, and Veterans Affairs; and the General Services Administration, saved a total of 1.9 trillion Btu of energy, nearly 400 million gallons of water, and more than $43 million during the 2012 fiscal year. These initiatives also helped offset more than 86 billion Btu of fossil-based energy through a combination of renewable energy generation and purchases, setting an example for other agencies to follow.
The energy savings alone are equivalent to taking 27,000 cars off the road and eliminating the average annual energy use of more than 20,000 households annually. This supports the Administration's new renewable energy consumption goal for the federal government – consuming 20% of its electricity from renewable sources by 2020. The combined accomplishments of this year's winners include:
- Implementing fleet optimization and training that saved 286 billion Btu in aviation fuel consumption.
- Implementing facility-wide changes to operations and maintenance practices, saving more than 1.6 trillion Btu by upgrading building systems, lighting, and materials. This includes saving 86 billion Btu through the installation of renewable energy systems including solar thermal and photovoltaic systems, a wind turbine, a landfill gas generating plant, and ground-source heat pumps.
- Installing significant water efficiency improvements, saving nearly 400 million gallons of water by upgrading plumbing fixtures, detecting and repairing leaks, and using more efficient irrigation practices.
- Implementing energy savings performance contracts, utility energy service contracts, and power purchase agreements to fund energy efficiency, renewable energy, water conservation, and greenhouse gas management projects.
The Energy Department's Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy accelerates development and deployment of energy efficiency and renewable energy technologies and market-based solutions that strengthen U.S. energy security, environmental quality, and economic vitality.

7 years on, Waterbury Center man is still missing
WAITSFIELD Seven years after the disappearance of a Waterbury Center man, law enforcement is renewing its call for help from the public in solving the mystery.
Donald Messier, who was 34 when he went missing, was last seen at a party in Waitsfield on Oct. 15, 2006. Messier reportedly left the party in his red Ford F-150 and hasnt been heard from since. His truck has not been located.
Messier is described as a white male, 6 feet tall, weighing between 230 and 275 pounds, with brown hair and hazel eyes.
According to National Cold Case Missing Persons of Mullica Hill, N.J., Messier may have been injured and unable to get out of a ravine, the woods, a quarry or lake. With hunters soon to be out in the woods, its hoped someone may come upon information leading to his whereabouts.

Uses for Lemongrass
You'll find yourself using lemongrass in all sorts of ways, once you get used to it. Snip off a little and steep it for tea. Chill the tea for a refreshing drink. For cooking, cut the plant to the base and add it to fish, stir fry, and salads. You can even try it in your favorite dessert recipes.

Officials warn of high manure runoff
State officials say farmers should avoid spreading manure this month on fields that are prone to runoff.
The state Department of Natural Resources says melting snow and rain can carry the manure into lakes, streams and groundwater, presenting a risk both to animals and humans.
The DNR says farmers should stack manure away from fields near lakes or rivers, as well as from drinking water wells and areas with sinkholes or exposed bedrock.
Officials say farmers who have to spread should carefully do so at less risky fields and have plans to deal with spills.
The department has an online advisory system that predicts runoff risks and keeps farmers updated with field conditions three times a day.

Traditional Patterns by Jim Casada
Great article Jim. Being from the Tennessee side, its interesting to hear the history of fly patterns from NC.
Around 20 or so years ago, I crossed paths with a fisherman from NC while on Deep Creek. He shared with me a fly that he said came from the rubber material used in a factory somewhere in Western NC that was used in making vacuum cleaner hoses. He called it the Coffey Nymph. The tan-colored, rubber material was wrapped on a long-shank hook roughly size 8-10 with brown goose biots crossed on the front. Have you ever heard of this pattern and is there truth to the tale or was he handing me a "fish story"?
Jim Parks
Yes, Jim's article in the LRO Journal was great. I too was amazed at the innovation that the TN and NC fisherman used to create flies from available materials. It was interesting to note that flies that we use today go so far back in time, but are still applicable today, and they still catch fish!
Not a fish story at all. Frank Coffey was one heck of a fisherman and tier. The fly was called a Stone Creeper. I've seen it tied in two different colors, a beige and a dark black or almost purple color. A lot of good fishermen and tiers came out of the Waynesville area. I've had the pleasure to meet, fish, or watch several of them tie. Names like as Bennie Craig, Ralph Mills, Verlin Evens, Jack Bradley, and Charlie Messer will forever live in my memory, I owe all of them for their time and help to me as a new and developing fisherman and tier. I think Roger Lowe told me one time that Frank played an important part in his progress as a young man in the art of tying. Frank caught more big fish than anyone I knew.
I enjoyed Jim's article as well, he has a pleasant and easy style that I enjoy. When I started thinking about some of the good Smoky Mt fly tiers that I have know in addition to some of the ones he named. 2 came to mind that were not mentioned that I feel should be on anyones list. Walter Babb and Hugh Hartsell measure up against any I have ever know. Walter's thread and tool management is second to no one I have ever seen tie in person, and I've see quite a few good ones. Hugh's vast expanse of patterns and his imitations of his observations in nature will be a standard for generations to come. I'm sure there are many, many others that I simply just have not had a chance to observer their work. I'm looking forward to Troutfest to fill in some of those gaps.;)
I agree with you that Hugh is a great tyier and guide. I personally know Hugh, in that he has guided Barbara & I in the Park and on the SoHo a number of times. Always seem to run into him with a client on the SoHo. This is not a "diss" on Walter Babb, as I haven't met him, and only heard about his work from LRO. Hugh told me that he had a lot of time to further perfect his tying after his medical problem several years ago.
I love going to Hugh's website, reading his fishing reports, and viewing his flies. When I want to tie a new pattern, his site is one of the first that I look at to get an idea of how to tie the fly.
I'm sure that Walter is just as dedicated to his craft. Thank the Lord that we have both of the gentlemen for their work. ;)

The Nike VR S Covert Irons feature a high-speed cavity back designed to maximize distance, control and forgiveness that allows for longer, straighter shots. With this hidden technology, Nike Golf engineers have been able to move the weight of the club to the corners, raising Moment of Inertia (MOI) to increase forgiveness and add even more distance to off-center shots. Additionally, the NexCOR Face design and a thin, no-weld sole deliver higher ball speeds.
