Re: 2013 October Winner
Where there are a few like yourself, I wonder if setting up a new account would be beneficial where you were part of the old site ... a couple of the other members having issues were also part of the old website. Some things may not have carried over correctly and maybe they, the administrators, have not seen where the issue is or maybe they just can't figure out what the problem is. That is why I suggest creating a new account after the season is over as an idea.

CUs Descend On Capitol Hill
Veteran NBC Journalist Tom Brokaw shared his insights and observations with credit unions during his keynote session at CUNA's GAC.
CUNA Chief Economist Bill Hampel, far right, presents the Member Benefits Awards for CUs with $75 million in assets or fewer to United Health CU, Burlingame, Calif.; Valley CU, Salem, Ore and First Class American CU, Fort Worth, Texas.
The Member Benefits Awards recognize credit unions that provide members with the "best bang for their buck." Winners in the $75 million to $250 million asset category were Boston Firefighters CU, Dorchester, Mass; St. Louis CU Community CU and Community Financial CU, Broomfield, Colo.
Winners of the Member Benefits Awards were determined via rate survey of those credit unions registered to attend GAC. CUNA also factored in credit unions' call report data on amounts of loans and deposits and compared that data to banks to calculate how much money members were saved by doing business with their credit union instead of a bank. Winners with assets more than $250 million were Melrose CU, Briarwood, N.Y.; Southwest Airlines FCU, Dallas and Alliant CU, Chicago.
The World Council of Credit Unions hosts a reception on the eve of CUNA's GAC at the Canadian Embassy.
The Canadian Embassy was chosen as the host embassy for this year's WOCCU reception in honor of WOCCU's upcoming annual conference to be held in Canada later this year.
Members of the CUNA Board listen to the treasurer's report for the year ending Dec. 31, 2012 at the Annual General Meeting held in conjunction with GAC.
CUNA President and CEO Bill Cheney addresses the crowd at GAC.
The U.S. Armed Forces Color Guard does the Presentation of the Colors Ceremony to kick off the opening general session of GAC.
In keeping with GAC tradition, the U.S. Marine Corps Band provides a patriotic musical tribute at the start of the opening general session.
NCUA Chairman Debbie Matz speaks at CUNA's GAC.
Georgia Credit Union League President Mike Mercer addresses the crowd at CUNA's GAC.
CUNA's team of political strategists, Bill Donovan, Richard Gose and Patricia Sowick offer a legislative update at GAC.
America First FCU CEO Rick Craig accepts the Lifetime Achievement Award from National CU Foundation Chairman Laida Garcia and Vice Chair John Radebaugh at the Herb Wegner Awards gala held in conjunction with CUNA's GAC.

"The [secular] sense of right and wrong is so delicate, so fitful, so easily puzzled, obscured, perverted, so subtle in its argumentative methods, so impressionable by education, so biased by pride and passion, so unsteady in its course, that in the struggle for existence amid the various exercises and triumphs of the human intellect, the sense is at once the highest of all teachers yet the least luminous."
~ John Henry Newman, "Letter to the Duke of Norfolk", from the article on Morality by G. H. Joyce.

February 3, 2011 —
I don't realize how nervous I am until after the screening at the packed, 1300-seat, Eccles Theater in Park City, UT when the anxiety fades. And it isn't until the last frame of the film hard cuts to black and the credits roll that I know for sure it's gone off without a hitch.
The film plays well, with laughs and gasps in all the right places. I'm at the Sundance Film Festival with a movie I edited called "Martha Marcy May Marlene" and I breathe a massive sigh of relief.
It's incredible to think that just a few weeks earlier, Sean and I were deep in the editing room, still moving huge chunks of the film around and, a few months earlier, I was putting the rough cut together at the Delaware Valley Arts Alliance on Main Street in Narrowsburg. Time flies.
The film stars Elizabeth Olsen who, with two movies at the festival, the press labels as "the next breakout Sundance Star." I am not surprised; she's nothing short of excellent in the film. It also has great performances by Sarah Paulson, Hugh Dancy and John Hawkes. They are all there, and it's nice to catch up with them again.
After the premiere, we go out to lunch. It's interesting because most everyone is seeing the film for the first time. I (obviously) have seen it so much that I can recite it line for line. But it's great that we are all finally on the same page and the conversations flow faster than our mouths will speak them.
"What did you think of...? Why did you choose...? I loved that part..."
I enjoy talking through choices with friends and colleagues. Find it interesting what strikes them, what doesn't. Pleased that their responses are resoundingly positive.
There is a small reception and then a huge party. By the time we get back to our house that night, I am totally beat.
We are staying in a large beautiful lodge right off Main Street up on King Road with many of the film's crew members. Most of them are old friends who I don't see as often as I'd like, and it's great to be hanging out for a more extended time together. It's a nice place, with a glorious view of Park City. Late at night, we relax in the hot tub and reminisce about the old days.
It's a short walk down to Main Street, "down" being the key word. "Up" on the other hand is a nightmare and leaves me completely out of breath. I blame the altitude and not me being out of shape. Though in actuality, it is probably a combination of the two.
Three days into the festival, Fox Searchlight picks up the movie in a late-night negotiation session. It's a vintage Sundance moment and we all go out to celebrate. I can't stop smiling.

UW-La Crosse students are moving out of the dorms for the summer and that means campus dumpsters are filling up. But not everything belongs in the trash.
The Greener Living Committee is teaming up with the Salvation Army to try to save products that can still be used. Things like good furniture, electronics, and clothing are being salvaged and used at the Salvation Army's emergency shelter.
"Our students just sometimes make some decisions like instead of cramming it into a car or making another drive they just throw it away," Hutchinson Hall Director Maryke Taute.
The Salvation Army truck was on the Viterbo campus Thursday and will be back on the UW-L campus next week.

If you've seen the video, like me you're probably wondering how someone could jump from such a ridiculous height and torpedo into a pool of water at 800 miles an hour.
As to the why part of the equation – this article touches on that answer as well – but I was more concerned with how someone could execute such a nervy feat with the poise of World Record Holder Dana Kunze.
So I set out to learn the dark arts of world class high divers, and the research lead me to some very cool mind hacks. I revealed a huge one in Control Your Reality Like a TV Set. Here's How To Do It.
In that article, I explained the four quadrants of Attention Control Theory that high divers use. Let's review these four mind states and guesstimate what state of attention Dana was in during every part of his record breaking performance.
|NOTE: If you haven't read Control Your Reality Like a TV Set, you'll probably want to do that first.
In Control Your Reality, I used the nature channel as a metaphor for Broad External Attention because it's a "wide lens" perspective used for being environmentally aware and alert. There is no interiority when in broad external focus. It's a disconnection from Self – and suffering cannot exist without Self.
Dana may have been in Broad External as he climbed the ladder up to his perch, but it's not the ideal mind state for high divers unless they are in the Zone.
[ Article continues after the jump.]

Broad Internal Attention is used for thinking about the mechanics of the dive. The Self is only referenced as a third party. Dana was probably in this mind state immediately before the dive and after saying "Golly, well I'd like to put one in there!"
Narrow External Attention is the Action Jackson perspective and is used to perform the actual dive. I found the sports channel to be an obvious analogy.
Dana's Narrow Internal Attention is refined enough to quiet any negative outcome thinking before the dive. He's loose and relaxed. It seems experienced high divers don't regard fear like most people do. It's relabelled as stress or nervous anxiety.
Diving despite feeling any stress or nervous anxiety is learned by focusing intensely on executing the parts of the dive that make up the whole.
Here's something else us mere mortals forget when we see extraordinary performances from world class divers and athletes in general: they didn't start that way. They progressed up the (ahem) ladder through years of dedicated training before doing monster dives from way up in outer space.
Personality is also a huge factor. High diving is for risk-taking extroverts. Extroverts have different dominant neuro-pathways and view reality primarily through broad external lenses. These people are members of an adrenaline-junky culture and tight knit clubs who challenge and support each other.
Divers who are introverted by nature and who don't master Attention Control probably don't last long in this sport. Introverts don't get the same rewarding dopamine kick extroverts do after risk-taking either.
Which brings me to the hardest and most important fear hack of high divers: they never balk. They never wait for conditions to be perfect. To balk creates fear, and so they focus on what needs to be done, and they do it like Dana.

Object history note
Worn by Margaret Whigham, later the Duchess of Argyll, for her marriage to Mr Charles Sweeny in the Brompton Oratory, 21 February 1933. The dress took a team of 30 seamstresses six weeks to make, and the bride thought it shockingly expensive at £52. The veil (T.306-1978) was donated a few years later, in 1978, and is catalogued with the dress (T.836-1974).
Margaret Whigham was the only child of Helen Mann Hannay and George Hay Whigham, a Scottish millionaire who was chairman of the Celanese Corporation of England, North America, and Canada. After being educated privately in New York City, where she moved one week after her birth and lived until the age of 14, and making her debut in London in 1930, she announced her engagement to Charles Guy Fulke Greville, 7th Earl of Warwick. This wedding did not take place as she had fallen for Charles Sweeny, an American amateur golfer, and decided she was not sufficiently in love with Lord Warwick. Margaret and Charles Sweeny divorced in 1947, and in 1951, she became the notorious Duchess of Argyll, third wife of the 11th Duke of Argyll.

"Forging New Ground with No-fly Zone"
Op-Ed, The Boston Globe
March 11, 2011
Author: Juliette Kayyem, Belfer Lecturer in Inernational Security, Harvard Kennedy School
Belfer Center Programs or Projects: International Security
AFTER FOLLOWING weeks of political debate, reviewing the historical precedents from Iraq, Bosnia, and Rwanda, and watching bloodshed as a leader encourages a civil war simply to keep himself in power, I have settled on an answer as to whether the United States should intervene in Libya: I have no idea.
Call me cynical, but when Senators Joe Lieberman and John McCain urge with moral certainty that its Americas duty to impose the no-fly zone over Libya that is being requested by the rebel leaders to end Colonel Moammar Khadafys regime, I feel like Ive seen a version of this movie before. Their track record on predicting the consequences of military intervention, especially in Arab countries, makes me instinctively want to hide for cover in my own little no-fly zone.
The senators cause is aided by a growing chorus of humanitarian interventionists who view Khadafys slaughter of uprising citizens as the most morally persuasive situation to invoke the duty to protect. They are urging that the United States not go it alone, but get support from NATO (possible) or the United Nations (less likely) for an international effort to make useless Libyas air force.
On the other side, in the role of former secretary of state Colin Powell in the run-up to the Iraq war, Defense Secretary Robert Gates has laid out the strongest case against any intervention, arguing that a no-fly zone would begin with an attack on Khadafys air defenses and likely require a prolonged military operation in much of Libya. He has tempered this assessment in the last week, but you cant help feeling that his sarcastic reply (yeah, exactly) to General David Petraeus in Afghanistan caught on tape that now that Afghanistan and Iraq were looking better, you going to launch some attacks on Libya or something is where his true judgment lies.
Certainty is unhelpful and ahistorical. Yes, we imposed a no-fly zone in 1999 in Kosovo, where 78 days of NATO strikes stopped Serbian strongman Sloban Milosevic from persecuting the ethnic Albanian population. And yes, we famously refused to help in Rwanda, where ethnic cleansing, and our refusal to act, still haunts us. The no-fly zone in Kosovo was imposed after years of debate, compared to the whirling speed by which decisions apparently need to be made in Libya. In both Kosovo and Rwanda, the moral impetus was ethnic cleansing, not merely the killing of civilians or, as is the case in Libya, rebel fighters. This is a civil war, and we are choosing sides.
The case study we do not have is whether a no-fly zone will aid rebel leaders in deposing a tyrannical leader in a predominantly ground combat civil war where the United States has a strong preference for who should lose, but almost no idea who the winners are. This is new territory.
We can, however, be certain of a few things. Imposition of a no-fly zone will involve us in a much more tangible way than in the Arab uprisings in Egypt and Tunisia. There are many in the Arab world including Iran who will be grateful we took the bait. And despite cloaking ourselves in the support of the international community so as not to look too aggressive, no one will be fooled the United States will own the no-fly zone effort and be applauded, or condemned, alone.
If we advance, we will need to make a strong case that Libya is a special situation. But should other Arab leaders turn to killing rebels or, worse, unarmed civilians, how will we justify not imposing a no-fly zone? Should we simply monitor the entire Middle East?
So, Im very comfortable, then, that all this back and forth by US politicians over the no-fly zone hasnt settled on a perfect answer. The benefit is that we have Khadafy guessing and the mere talk of it could turn his supporters against him.
Certainty in our assessments of military intervention in the Arab world engenders no confidence. It impresses no one. If we impose a no-fly zone, we may be jumping over a cliff. All I want is for our leadership to be honest enough to tell us that may be exactly where we are heading.

Sarachan Publishes Essay on Screen Time for Children
Jeremy Sarachan, Assistant Professor of Communication/Journalism and Director of the Digital Cultures and Technologies Program, recently published an essay in the fall 2012 issue of the International Journal of Learning and Media, published by MIT Press.
In the essay, "Limiting Screen Time is Not the Key to Parenting in the Digital Age," Sarachan discusses the media-influenced fear of "screen time" and the difficulty of placing arbitrary restrictions on video games and other digital technologies in light of the mobile and ubiquitous nature of new media. He argues that instead, parents should pay attention to all play activities, with electronic options not necessarily being inferior in all cases. The essay was a result of Sarachan's extensive research into children's virtual worlds.
The International Journal of Learning and Media is a groundbreaking online-only journal devoted to the examination of the changing relationships between learning and media across a wide range of forms and settings.

Hi there,
The most common thing I've read seems to be that most babies seem to like to nurse the most and the longest in the evenings. My DS however seems to have lost his appetite by late afternoon, and its always a struggle to get him to eat just a few times in the evening before he goes down for the night which is often a good 6 hours before he wakes up. He eats great in the middle of the night and pretty good during the morning and early afternoon.
Just wondering if anyone else's four month old does this? I worry that he just isn't getting enough to eat at night, but he never ever appears hungry - and I am try to feed him ALL THE TIME - even if I leave him for 2.5-3 hours, he still doesn't eat that much. (My DH says Cameron has never been hungry a day in his life because I am always trying to feed him! hehe) His diapers are fine, I just go to bed every night thinking about his poor empty belly

Inmates at a women's prison in Oregon were rushed indoors after a hot air balloon landed in the parking lot.
But it wasn't an escape attempt, as prison officials first feared.
The pilot told authorities at the Coffee Creek Correctional Facility that he had just run out of gas while participating in a hot air balloon festival nearby.
He decided the prison parking lot south of Portland was the easiest spot to land, according to The Oregonian.
No one was injured.
Inmates were kept inside for about a half-hour until the balloon was removed.

Stop Giving Money To American Crossroads Until Rove Stops Targeting Conservative Candidates in Primaries
After American Crossroads frittered away 200 million dollars in the 2012 campaign cycle, mostly on ineffective TV ads, you'd think Karl Rove and his organization might be asking some tough questions about their strategy. But instead, they came to the same conclusion establishment Republicans always do: the problem is those darn conservatives.
So, Rove and company have created a spin off group to try to sandbag conservatives in primaries in order to make sure we'll have a slate full of Charlie Christs and Arlen Specters in 2014.
The biggest donors in the Republican Party are financing a new group to recruit seasoned candidates and protect Senate incumbents from challenges by far-right conservatives and Tea Party enthusiasts who Republican leaders worry could complicate the party's efforts to win control of the Senate.
Steven J. Law, a leader of the Conservative Victory Project, say they are taking steps to steer Mr. King away from a Senate run.
The group, the Conservative Victory Project, is intended to counter other organizations that have helped defeat establishment Republican candidates over the last two election cycles. It is the most robust attempt yet by Republicans to impose a new sense of discipline on the party, particularly in primary races.
"There is a broad concern about having blown a significant number of races because the wrong candidates were selected," said Steven J. Law, the president of American Crossroads, the "super PAC" creating the new project. "We don't view ourselves as being in the incumbent protection business, but we want to pick the most conservative candidate who can win."
The effort would put a new twist on the Republican-vs.-Republican warfare that has consumed the party's primary races in recent years. In effect, the establishment is taking steps to fight back against Tea Party groups and other conservative organizations that have wielded significant influence in backing candidates who ultimately lost seats to Democrats in the general election.
Not once has Karl Rove, the NRSC or the RNC EVER backed a conservative candidate over a moderate in a competitive Republican primary (The exception for Rove would be W. over McCain, but W. was paying Rove's bills). That's because they start with the presumption that the more moderate candidate is ALWAYS more electable.
That's the same mentality that made the establishment pick Trey Greyson over Rand Paul, David Dewhurst over Ted Cruz, Charlie Crist over Marco Rubio, Arlen Specter over Pat Toomey, Bob Bennett over Mike Lee, John McCain and Mitt Romney over the rest of their competitors — and even Gerald Ford over Ronald Reagan. So, when people with that mentality decide to get involved in primaries, nothing good will come of it.
Oh, but maybe they can stop us from getting terrible candidates….again, like Rand Paul, Pat Toomey or Ted Cruz? Well, you may say, what about the really bad candidates? Well, for every Christine O'Donnell, there's a Linda McMahon. For every Sharon Angle, there's a Tommy Thompson. For every Todd Akin, there's a Carly Fiorina. Oh, but they were obviously the best candidates available because….of what exactly? The establishment liked them? Because they were more moderate?
Karl Rove doesn't care what I have to say, you have to say, or what the grassroots thinks. He cares about precisely one thing: fund raising. His power comes from raising and spending money. Cut into his donations, then you cut into his power — and that will get his attention.
So, stop giving money to American Crossroads. Not one more dime — and let the people know why if they pitch you for a donation. There are lots of great conservative organizations out there that need help and if you specifically want to aid candidates, the Senate Conservatives Fund is a better place to put your money. Jim DeMint is behind that organization and just about anybody you love in the Senate who has been elected over the last couple of cycles did it with the help of the Senate Conservatives Fund. You'll also never catch those guys trying to kill conservative candidates.
Now, can blog posts like this one shut off the flow of cash to American Crossroads? Nope, but we can slow it down. If we peel 10, 20, 30 million dollars off its totals, then that will get some attention. American Crossroads may not speak grassroots or Tea Party, but green, it speaks just fine. It's time for conservatives to start speaking to American Crossroads in a language that it can understand.

The hope is that when the work is completed, shopping for cars, parts and accessories and having a General Motors vehicle serviced will be much easier.
General Manager Louie Alaniz and his father, Luis, said the expanded service department will have another 17 bays for mechanics. That will more than double the 12 bays now located in the existing service area.
The younger Alaniz said the current service area will remain in place to handle any overflow in the new center on busy days.
When asked how much the business is investing in the project, Alaniz grinned and said, "a lot."
Service technicians will be equipped with state-of-the-art equipment to assure quicker service for the dealership's customers.
For customers who find themselves waiting for their vehicles to be serviced, Aztec will have new waiting areas and an area for children. Parents will find Wi-Fi and other forms of entertainment while they wait.
When the "Phase 1" service expansion is completed by the end of this year, Alaniz said work will begin on "Phase 2."
That will entail replacing the existing showroom with a new 1,400-square-foot facility and another 1,400 square feet of office space.
That will provide the dealership with a total of 2,800 square feet of sales space.
Alaniz said the new building also will be taller than the existing space.
The sales floor and offices are expected to be completed by the end of May 2013.
Alaniz said his family also is keeping as much of the money being spent as possible in the community.
"We're using all local contractors," he said. George Cano Construction will be the general contractor for the project and all his subcontractors will be local businesses.

By Angela Peacock
Less than a three-hour drive north of Clovis is one of the largest discovery of dinosaur tracks in the world.
Clayton Lake State Park, located 12 miles north of Clayton, is home to more than 500 dinosaur tracks. The prehistoric footprints, which experts say were made more than 100 million years ago, were discovered by an amateur paleontologist from the Texas Panhandle in early 1982.
The site annually attracts 30,000 tourists, prehistoric buffs and geologists from all over the world
"What's really fascinating that I've learned observing paleontologists work is that (studying) tracks is just as important as dinosaur bones because the tracks help paleontologists learn how the dinosaurs behaved," said park manager Charles Jordan.
The site is also an example of how New Mexico's landscape has changed dramatically since the time dinosaurs roamed the Earth.
David Gillette, curator of paleontology at the New Mexico Museum of Natural History in Albuquerque, said Clayton was once part of the shore of a prehistoric ocean, and said the strange rock formations seen below the lake's spillway are the petrified sand dunes of an ocean front.
At one time, (Clayton Lake) sea shore was teaming with life, which Gillette said attracted a large number of dinosaurs.
Jordan, who grew up near the modern day Gulf of Mexico, said he has rocks in his visitors station that "actually prove Clayton really used to be the western edge of the Gulf of Mexico."
The tracks, found in several thin layers of the region's native Dakota sandstone, were made late in the era of dinosaurs, Gillette said. He added all of the tracks were likely made during a short span of time, an estimated three to four years.
Clayton Lake State Park is also home for other phenomena, such as worm borrows and the fossilized prints of plants. Those findings indicate there were at least three types of dinosaurs — herbivores, carnivores and another unknown type.
Jordan said the site has another unique trait.
"Just like in Jurassic Park (the movie), dinosaurs really did travel with their tails held up usually over their backs. So what's really amazing is that there are probably more tail drag tracks (at Clayton Lake) than any other place in the whole world, which means it was muddy enough here that they had to drag their tails on the ground to help their balance in order to keep them from falling," Jordan said.
Clayton Lake State Park entry fee is $4; camping with electrical and water hook-ups is $14 per night and camping with without water or electricity is $10 a night. Hot showers and drinking water are available.
Park Activities:
Developed camping sites (37)
Electric camping sites (7)
Water skiing
Wildlife viewing
Located 12 miles north of Clayton, the park is approximately 147 miles from Clovis and 166 miles from Portales.

August 23, 2012 —
NARROWSBURG, NY — Fort Delaware Museum of Colonial History continues its program of historical presentations at 1 p.m. on August 26, when noted children's author Jan Cheripko elaborates on the dramatic, not-so-famous story he tells in "Caesar Rodney's Ride: The Story of an American Patriot," an award-winning book for young adults describing Rodney's ride to Philadelphia to cast a crucial vote on the Declaration of Independence.
Kirkus Reviews said: "The ride is tense throughout, with the fate of the future nation hanging on his vote… The story concentrates on his trip, but manages to convey the drama of this pivotal moment in American history. Fascinating."
Mr. Cheripko will also discuss another book he is currently working on for middle grade readers. It is about John Laurens, the son of Henry Laurens, the second president of the Continental Congress.
The presentation is included in the price of admission to Fort Delaware Museum of Colonial History on Route 97 just outside Narrowsburg. Call 845/252-6660.

A major problem in the General Election was the shortage of ballots at some precincts on Oahu.
Nearly two dozen polling places ran out of paper ballots before the 6 p.m. voting deadline.
Voters at Ala Wai Elementary near Waikiki and at Wilson Elementary in Kahala say they waited up to nearly an hour and a half to cast their vote after their precinct ran out of ballots.
That problem was only made worse at Hokulani Elementary in Manoa where a mix-up had voters voting for the wrong district.
"I said, 'She's in my district. She's got signs up, she came to my door. I know she's in my district. I want to vote for her,'" said Beth Ruze. "And then they said, 'OK everybody hold on. We got the wrong ballots.'"
"It's been a mess. We had lots of people walk off. A lot of people very upset about this," said Michael Kratzke, a voter assisting officer. "We've been trying to gather names, serial numbers on some of the ballots but, unfortunately, they don't match up with the actual ballot that was cast, which is causing a problem of how do these ballots get counted?"
Some voters at the Hokulani Elementary precinct cast ballots in a foreign language because it was the only ballot left hat had the correct district.
Election officials say they underestimated how many people would turn out to vote in the General Election. Gov. Neil Abercrombie says problems in the Primary Election and during the General Election should spur some change in state law.
"The Executive Branch is no longer in charge of the voting procedures now. I think this is something that has to be examined as to what happened and why," said Abercrombie. "Honestly, the legislature has to take a look at whether or not we want to continue to have this kind of an operation where it's ostensibly independent, but by the same token that means that there's no responsible executive authority to oversee it."
Each county clerk oversees their own election. However, in an historic move, the state took over Election Day operations on the Big Island after officials say communication problems from the Primary Election had not been resolved.
In all, more than 436,000 voters, or 61.9 percent of registered voters, voted in the General Election compared to the 42.3 percent that participated in the Primary Election and 66 percent that voted in the 2008 election.

It's Labor Day weekend — the unofficial end of summer. I'm not ready to give up summer but I'm sure ready for the thermometer to start acting like it's fall.
Most of my life I've never had Labor Day or its bookend holiday Memorial Day off work. In the newspaper business we've always been expected to toil ahead. Sure, I got to write stories about people out having fun on Labor Day but my barbeques were squeezed into lunch hours.
The few jobs I've had over the years that offered me Labor Day off seemed to come with the caveat of working like a dog the Friday before and the Tuesday after.
Now in my position at the Chamber I will relish the holiday. It's just a shame that when I was young and full of energy I didn't have the holiday to water ski, hike or play softball. I think I can muster up the energy for a picnic though. Maybe even a nap.
The first Labor Day in the U.S. was celebrated on Sept. 5, 1882. The guy that came up with the idea was either a carpenter named McGuire or a machinist named Maguire. There was a parade in New York City and a lot of beer kegs afterward and evidently the next morning no one could remember for sure who came up with the idea.
Nothing I've read says exactly whether the workers told the bosses they weren't coming in Monday, the bosses were feeling good and let everyone off or if the boss showed up to work and couldn't figure out where everyone was until the parade went by.
Everyone had such a great time and productivity surged so much the rest of the week that all agreed to let it happen again the next year.
Individual states began recognizing the holiday and finally in September of 1894, President Grover Cleveland looked around the deserted White House and decided to go with the flow. The bill he signed created a federal holiday for everyone but farmers, newspaper people, convenience store workers and the White House chef.
It always struck me as odd that the two holidays that are fairly arbitrary as far as dates go, just happen to mark the opening bash of summer and the last hurah. Call me suspicious but wouldn't Labor Day mean more to the laborer if it was tied to a date that means something.
The date these days that means the most to the American worker is probably what has become known as Tax Freedom Day, the day when we've earned enough to pay the taxes we owe. The problem here is that that date keeps changing over the years. In the year 1900, it was Jan. 22. Lately it's been in April.
What we have to worry about with this line of thinking is that Congress and the President might just embrace the idea. Problem is they might figure they could kill two birds with one stone by moving Tax Freedom Day to the first Monday in September.
By laying a bigger tax burden on the worker they could solve the government's debt crisis and at the same time give us a real reason to celebrate.
I'm sure Will Rogers is rolling over in his grave.

Product Information
Extend Nutrition Variety Pack (25 servings)
ExtendSnacks Variety (15-serving box) is a great chance to try all the forms and flavors of ExtendSnacks for one low price. You'll get 1 bar of each of our ExtendBar flavors, 1 bag of each of our ExtendCrisp flavors, 5 bags of each of our delicious ExtendDrizzles and 5 of our powdered shake mixes that you add to milk, water or any other beverage of yoiur choice (2 Chocolate, 2 Vanilla and 1 Strawberry). Invented by Dr. Francine Kaufman, ExtendSnacks are made with the only formula clinically proven to help control blood sugar for up to 9 hours. All ExtendSnacks can be helpful for people with diabetes, people looking to live healthy, people managing their weight, or anyone looking for sustained energy.
ExtendSnacks were designed to do one thing particularly well - help stabilize blood sugar levels for up to 9 hours! Their patented formula converts gradually to blood sugar over 7 to 9 hours - instead of all at once like so many other snacks - to help even out blood sugar swings.
Only the ExtendSnacks formula is clinically proven to help you:
-Control hunger by suppressing appetite
-Avoid low blood sugar, even overnight
-Reduce blood sugar swings
-Sustain energy during exercise and recovery
ExtendSnacks were invented by Francine Kaufman, M.D., past president of the American Diabetes Association, author of the book Diabesity, and world-renowned endocrinologist.
ExtendSnacks add convenience to any healthy diet or meal plan, including the Transitions(tm) Lifestyle System.
How are ExtendSnacks ingredients so unique?
1. Sugar-free varieties and Low Net Carbs
2. Low Glyvemic Index and Load
3. Loaded with soluble fiber (3-6 g/serving)
4. Trans-fat free (0g). Low saturated fat (0-1 g/serving)
5. Packed with lean protein (7-15 g/serving)
6. Gluten-free and kosher
You can build ExtendSnacks into any healthy lifestyle without any worries. In fact, it's our pleasure to detail exactly how each aspect of ExtendSnacks' unique formula contributes to your overall well-being.
1. Sugar-free varities and Low Net Carbs:
One aspect of choosing foods for a healthy diet is finding foods that are low in sugar and net carbs. Net carbs are the simple carbs that digest rapidly (normally within one to two hours), and have an immediate impact on blood glucose (sugar is a simple carb). Because simple carbs burn off so quickly they leave you hungry and more likely to overeat.
ExtendSnacks are made with complex carbohydrates, including 5g of uncooked cornstarch, to extend the release of glucose into the bloodstream for up to 9 horus - so they won't spike blood sugar levels.
2. Low Glycemic Index and Load:
The Glycemic Index is a relatively new concept which is now appearing frequently in the context of healthy foods. The simplest explanation is that Low Glycemic foods do not spike your blood sugar. Also, they help make you feel full so you'll eat less.
Low Glycemic foods either contain very few carbs or the carbs they do contain are complex (not simple).
3. Loaded with soluble fiber (3-6 g/serving):
Fiber rich foods generally contain a mixture of soluble and insoluble fiber. While both types help you feel full and won't spike your blood sugar, soluble fiber is best because it has been shown to improve blood sugar control.
4. Trans-fat free (0g). Low saturated fat (0-1 g/serving):
Proper nutrition can help lower risk factors for heart problems such as cardiac disease. Bad fats (Trans fats and Saturated fats) raise your LDL cholesterol (bad, low density lipids). Frequently, other typical food manufacturers will make something sugar-free or low carb, but then add a lot of fat in an effort to improve the taste, which will counteract your efforts to eat right.
Good fats, such as Mono-unsaturated fats, poly-unsaturated fats, and Omega 3 fats can help lower your LDL, total cholesterol and triglycerides (blood fats).
5. Packed with lean protein (7-15 g/serving):
Protein doesn't spike your blood sugar and helps you feel full. Protein also plays an important role in maintaining or building muscle mass to perform even common tasks with ease. Plant sources of protein (such as soy) are preferable over animal sources, because they are not a significant source of saturated fats.
All-around, ExtendSnacks are some of the best healthy snacks! They are made with a patented combination of scientifically selected ingredients, which has been clinically proven to help control blood sugar for up to 9 hours.
Research supporting the benefits of low glycemic nutritional approaches continues to grow. The following are some recent studies that are worth reviewing:
1. Effect of a Low-Glycemic Index or a High-Cereal Fiber Diet on Type 2 Diabetes. JAMA Dec 17, 2008. Dr. David Jenkins, et al, University of Toronto.
Key findings: In patients with Type 2 diabetes, low-glycemic diet resulted in 250% lower A1C levels compared to a high-cereal fiber diet.
2. Why a low GI meal makes you feel full. Annual Society for Endocrinology BES meeting, Harrogate: April 2009. Kings College London.
Key findings: Low GI diets make you full because they increase CLP-1 hormone levels significantly. The hormone GLP-1 has been shown to suppress appetite.
3. Comparison of Weight-Loss Diets with Different Compositions of Fat, Protein, and Carbohydrates. NEJM, Feb 26, 2009. Harvard School of Public Health and Pennington Biomedical Research Center, LA.
Key findings: The only proven weight loss approach is one where calories consumed are less than calories burned.
The composition of ExtendSnacks has been extensively researched through multiple, well designed, clinical studies and provide substantiation for the glucose control and hunger control benefits that ExtendSnacks provide. The following are references to these clinical studies:
1. Evaluation of a snack bar containing uncooked cornstarch in subjects with diabetes. By Kaufman FR, Halvorson M, Kaufman ND, Department of Pediatrics, Childrens Hospital, Los Angeles, CA, USA. Journal of Diabetes Complications 1996 Mar-Apr:10(2):84-7.

1. Why are ExtendSnacks a great fit into the Transitions(tm) Lifestyle System?
The following benefits of ExtendSnacks make them the perfect partner snack for the Transitions(tm) Lifestyle System:
a. Low Glycemic. The full line of ExtendSnacks are low glycemic (low glycemic index and load). Furthermore, since ExtendSnacks' slow burning cabrs convert to glucose over 9 hours they provide the benefits of low glycemic foods for a longer time period than most typical Low GI foods.
b. Provide Hunger AND Glucose Control. ExtendSnacks provide both glucose control and hunger control. Very few snacks can do both.
c. Easy behavior change: 2-3 servings per day, everyday (replacing less healthy snacks). Daily consumption of ExtendSnacks can improve glucose control and calorie control making it an easy to implement snack, that is convenient and fits into a wide range of lifestyle preferences.
d. Strong scientific foundation. ExtendSnacks were developed by Dr. Francine Kaufman, a leading endocrinologist and past President of the American Diabetes Association. Backed by 6 clinical studies and 17 patents, ExtendSnacks really work when it comes to glucose control and hunger control.
e. ExtendSnacks have a very balanced nutritional profile. They are high in fiber and protein, low in fat, and sugar-free/low carb. Very few energy or protein snacks have this profile. Most protein/energy snacks have a lopsided profile. Some are high in protein but also have a lot of fat and sugar. Others are high in fiber but don't have much protein. ExtendSnacks have only the good (fiber and protein) without the bad (sugar and fat). Finally, ExtendSnacks are also Guten-Free and Kosher.
2. What are the ingredients that make ExtendSnacks so effective?
The key ingredient that makes ExtendSnacks so effective is uncooked cornstarch. Uncooked cornstarch is a very complex, low glycemic carbohydrate that digests and converts to blood sugar very, very slowly. Interestingly, once corn or cornstarch is heated or cooked, as it is in most of the food products we eat containing corn, it becomes a simple, high-glycemic carbohydrate that works just the opposite, converting to blood sugar very rapidly.
In ExtendSnacks, the uncooked cornstarch is combined with specific amounts of protein, fiber, and fat to further slow the conversion to blood sugar. As a result, this unique ExtendSnacks combination - patented by Dr. Kaufman a physician specializing in metabolism - converts to blood sugar more gradually than any other snack and is the only one clinically proven to help stabilize blood sugar levels for up to 9 hours.
3. Do other snacks contain these ingredients?
The formula used in ExtendSnacks is patent-protected, so no other snack contains this combination of ingredients shown to help stabilize blood sugar for up to 9 hours. Most other snacks contain carbohydrates that aren't as long-acting and complex as those in ExtendSnacks, so they convert to blood sugar more rapidly and therefore can't help stabilize blood sugar levels as long as ExtendSnacks.
4. Who can benefit from using ExtendSnacks?
Anyone who would to eat healthy, better manage their blood sugar levels and/or gain control over hunger can benefit from ExtendSnacks.
a. Individuals trying to lose or manage weight. When used as a between meal snack, ExtendSnacks can help you control your hunger, so you snack less and even eat an average of 21% less calories at mealtime. And because ExtendSnacks won't raise blood sugar levels significantly, you won't see a spike in insuling levels, so your body will be more likely to burn fat for fuel and less likely to produce and store fat.
b. People living with diabetes. Whether you have Type 1, Type 2, Gestational diabetes, Pre-diabetes, or insulin-resistance, ExtendSnacks are great for you. They won't cause the blood sugar spikes and swings other foods can, making it much easier to manage your blood sugar levels.
c. People struggling with low blood sugar unrelated to diabetes. Even if you don't have diabetes, you can still benefit from the ability of ExtendSnacks to help prevent low blood sugar for up to 9 hours. Particularly if you have reactive hypoglycemia, exrepience low blood sugar during or after exercise, often skip meals, or go too long between meals.
d. Individuals who want to maintain their energy level or improve their athletic performance. Because ExtendSnacks convert to blood sugar gradually over 9 hours, they provide you with a sustained supply of energy to help get you through the most physically demanding activity or your most hectic day. They prevent the drops in blood sugar that can hurt your performance or slow you down.
5. When should I eat ExtendSnacks to get the maximum benefit?
When you should eat an ExtendSnack depends on which ExtendSnack benefits are most important to you.
a. To help control your hunger: Use an ExtendSnacks as a healthy, between-meal snack, an hour or two after a meal, to keep your hunger from sabotaging you during your most vulnerable times of the day.
b. To prevent low blood sugar: Eat an ExtendSnacks about an hour or two before you think an episode of low blood sugar is most likely to occur. If low blood sugar is a frequent problem overnight, take an ExtendSnack as a bedtime snack. If it's a problem during of after exercise or any physically demanding activity, take an ExtendSnack an hour before the activity begins. If you experience low blood sugar when you go too long between meals or skip a meal, use an ExtendSnack as a healthy, between-meal snack.
c. To prevent high blood sugar in the morning: If you find you are going to bed with a normal blood sugar level, but waking with a blood sugar level much higher, eating an ExtendSnack as a bed-time snack can help. In a clinical study where an ExtendSnack was used as a bed-time snack, it was shown to reduce high morning blood sugar readings by an average of 28%.
d. To maximize the benefits of your low carb lifestyle: One of the key benefits of low carb foods is that they won't cause your blood sugar and insulin levels ot spike, so your body is more likely to burn fat for fuel and less likely to produce and store fat. ExtendSnacks convert to blood sugar gradually over 9 hours - far longer than any other low cab snacks. Each ExtendSnacks can extend these low carb benefits for most of the day (if taken in the morning); also through the afternoon and evening (if taken just after lunch); even overnight (if take as a bed-time snack)!
6. How do ExtendSnacks help suppress appetite?
ExtendSnacks do not contain any ingredients that chemically suppress your appetite, like ephedra, caffeine, or guarana. Instead, ExtendSnacks help naturally control your hunger by helping to prevent one of the key triggers of appetite - your blood sugar dropping too quickly or too low.
Unlike ExtendSnacks, most common snacks contain carbohydrates that convert rapidly to blood sugar, sending your blood sugar soaring. Then withing a couple of hours it crashes back down, triggering your appetite and you're hungry again within just a couple of hours of earing. But ExtendSnacks contain a very slow-burning, long-acting carbohydrate which converts to blood sugar very gradually, helping to prevent your blood sugar drom dropping low enough to trigger your appetite. In this way, ExtendSnacks help you control you hunger naturally.
When clinically tested, eating an ExtendBar as a between meal snack helped control appetite and reduced calories consumed at the next meal by an average of 21%. In addition to a more satisfied feeling throughout the day, many people have reported significant weight loss after using ExtendSnacks regularly.
7. How do ExtendSnacks help to prevent low blood sugar (hypoglycemia)?
Unlike the carbohydrates in most foods we eat, that convert to blood sugar within a couple of hours, the naturally complex carbohydrates in ExtendSnacks break down gradually to help prevent your blood sugar level from dropping too low for up to 9 hours. The torture test for this, not surprisingly, is at night while you sleep and can't replenish your blood sugar supply with food. In several clinical studies where an ExtendBar was eaten as a bedtime snack, the incidence of low blood sugar was reduced by 75%.
ExtendSnacks can help prevent low blood sugar any time it's likely to occur:
a. Overnight - when your body has no supply of blood sugar from food. An ExtendSnack before bed will help prevent lwo blood sugar throughout the night.
b. During, and even hours after, any vigorous activity or exercise - when your body uses a lot more blood sugar than normal. Eating an ExtendSnack before the activity begins helps prevent low blood sugar during and even several hours after the activity ends.
c. When a meal gets delayed - having an ExtendSnack as a snack will help provide your body with the baseline blood sugar it needs to function properly until you have a chance to eat a complete meal.
8. Can ExtendSnacks be used to treat a low blood sugar episode?
Once an episode of low blood sugar occurs (a blood sugar level bwloe 70mg/dl) you should consume a food or beverage with rapid-acting carbohydrates (10-15 grams) to bring your blood sugar quickly back up to normal. A 4 oz/ glass of fruit juice or regular cola, a Tbsp of honey, an 8 oz. glass of nonfat milk, 6 pieces of hard candy (as long as it's not sugar-free), 3 glucose tablets or a tub of glucose gel all should work to quickly raise blood sugar levels.
Since ExtendSnacks contain primarily the longer-acting carbohydrates, they are not an appropriate treatment for low blood sugar once it occurs. However, because the symptoms of low blood sugar can come on quickly and can be serious if not treated promptly, it is best to prevent low blood sugar from happening in the first place. Only ExtendSnacks help provide a continuous supply of blood sugar for up to 9 hours - longer than any other snack - to help prevent episodes of low blood sugar.
9. How do ExtendSnacks help prevent high blood sugar (hyperglycemia) in the morning?
What many people with diabetes don't understand is that having your blood sugar drop too low during the night, can actually cause your blood sugar to be high first thing in the morning, even before you eat. That's because as you sleep, your blood sugar level naturally drops. If your blood sugar drops too low during the night, your liver releases glycogen (a stored form of glucose) into your bloodstream. This quickly raises your blood sugar levels, often causing high blood sugar.
When eaten at bedtime, an ExtendSnack can help prevent your blood sugar level from dropping low enough to trigger the release of glycogen from your liver. In fact, in a clincialy study where an ExtendBar was eaten as a bedtime snack, morning blood sugar levels were an average of 28% lower.
10. In what way are ExtendSnacks better than other low-cab and sugar-free foods?
Like ExtendSnacks, most low-carb and sugar-free foods have few fast-converting (net) carbs. So when you eat them, they won't cause a big rise in your blood sugar. But that's where the similarity ends.
Unfortunately, other low-carb and sugar-free foods don't contain sufficient long-acting carbohydrates to help maintain a healthy blodo sugar level throughout the day or night like ExtendSnacks. So, within a couple of hours your blood sugar drops, triggering your hunger and leaving you susceptible to episodes of low blood sugar, or overeating. Plus, many low-carb snacks are also high in fat and cholesterol and contain trans-fats, so they are not as good for your heart.
The unique formula in ExtendSnacks is patented for its ability to break down more gradually than other foods and release nutrients into your system more slowly. This slow conversion helps keep you blood sugar from rising too quickly, and continues to supply your body with the blood sugar fuel it needs to help prevent low blood sugar and keep your appetite under control for up to 9 hours. And because ExtendSnacks contain no cholesterol or trans-fats, they're also deliciously heart healthy.
11. Can I lose weight using this product?
Unlike many weight loss products on the market, ExtendSnacks do not ""burn fat"" or ""speed up your metabolism"", but they can help you to lose weight naturally in two ways. First, because ExtendSnacks convert so slowly to blood sugar, they won't cause the spike in insuling production that encourages your body to produce and store fat.
Second, because ExtendSnacks continue to provide you with a modest amount of blood sugar for up to 9 hours, they work as a natural appetite suppressant, helping you to avoid unhealthy snacking between meals and eat leass at meals. In clinical studies, people that used an ExtendSnack between meals ate an average of 21% fewer calories at their next meal.
So when used regularly, ExtendSnacks can help you steadily lose weight in a more sustainable way.
12. Do ExtendSnacks have a low glycemic index and glycemic load? And why is it important?
All ExtendSnack flavors have a low glycemic index (GI) and our ExtendBar Delights and ExtendCrisps also have a low glycemic load (GL). The GI and GL provide good indicators of how much your blood sugar will increase within two hours of eating a particular food. This is very important to know when you're trying to manage your blood sugar levels - whether your goal is to better control your diabetes or manage your weight.
Unfortunately, the GI and GL only measure blood sugar response for 2 hours - the time in which most commonly eaten carbohydrates digest. But unique snacks like ExtendSnacks, offer a benefit other low GI and GL foods can't. They conert to gradually to blood sugar over 7-9 hours. So they continue to help stabilize blood sugar levels long after other low-carb snacks have stopped.
13. How do ExtendSnacks help improve exercise performance and recovery?
With most types of exercise and strenuous physical activty, the body's rate of using blood sugar (energy) increases both during the activity and for several hours after. And it's not uncommon for a person to hit a point when their energy level suddenly drops and they experience symptoms of low blood sugar (headaches, feeling light-headed, weak, shaky, or inability to focus.)
Because ExtendSnacks convert to blood sugar over 7-9 hours - more slowly than any other snack - they can supply the energy you need for even the most physically demanding activity. And ExtendSnacks continue providing energy for several hours after, while your body works to adjust its blood sugar needs back to a normal level.
14. Are ExtendSnacks certified Kosher?
Yes, all of our products are Kosher. The Kosher symbol (OU-D) can be found on the back or side of the carton and on the individual wrappers and bags as well.
15. Are ExtendSnacks Gluten Free?
All five flavors of our ExtendBar Delight formula are gluten-free. All 3 flavors of ExtendShakes are also gluten-free. Our ExtendCrisps are made from gluten-free, but are not certified gluten-free because the manufacturing process for the Crisps hasn't been confirmed to adequately protect from gluten contamination from other products made at the facility. We have taken the following steps to confirm the gluten-free status of ExtendBar Delights:
1. All the ingredients are gluten-free.
2. Products were tested for gluten content using testing protocols and test systems recognized and/or approved by the following organizations: GFCO (Gluten Free Certification Organization) and CODEX and is used by the Food Allergen Research and Resource Program from the University of Nebraska (considered to be the preier soruce for food allergen information worldwide).
3. We use the ELISA RIDASCREEN(r) Gliadin and the RIDASCREEN(r) FAST Gliadin that employs the R5-antibody which is able to efficiently quantify proalmins from wheat, barley, and rye at a level of 100%.
4. Our test results and test methods are in compliance with the US FDA's proposed rule for Gluten Free Foods (On Jan. 22, 2007 the FDA posted to the Federal Register a Proposed Rule for Labeling Gluten-Free Labeling of Foods (Docket No. 2005N-0279)).
5. Our test results and test methods are in compliance with Canadian, European, Australian standards for Gluten-Free foods.
16. Should I consult a physician before I use ExtendSnacks?
ExtendSnacks fit into the FDA's medical food classification, which simply means that they have been clinically shown to help in the dietary management of a medical condition. In the case of ExtendSnacks, clinical studies have shown them to be very beneficial in the management of diabetes and low blood sugar (hypoglycemia) because of the ability to help stabilize blood sugar levels.
While ExtendSnacks do not require a prescription, if you have diabetes it is important to account for the calories, carbohydrates, etc. from ExtendSnacks in your normal meal planning. Your healthcare professional can best aid you in this process. Please feel free to have your healthcare professional review ExtendSnacks nutritional information and clinical studies."

Toast of the Nation New York - The Eats

We had a productive soundcheck and rehearsal with Trio da Paz, Kenny Barron, and singers Pamela Driggs and Maucha Adnet.
We spent more than an hour making sure that what the nation hears in New York will most assuredly sound like Rio de Janeiro. Michael Bourne was in fine form, and he has a story from Antonio Carlos Jobim to lead us into the countdown. We've practiced everything. Next time, it's for real.
After rehearsal, we ran upstairs to Blue Smoke for eats. Here's what it took to feed the New York crew.
Macaroni and Cheese x 2, Braised Collard Greens With Bacon, Sweet Potato Fries with Maple Dip, Mashed Potatoes and Onions, Creamed Spinach
Seared Atlantic Salmon with Tomatillo Sauce, Scallion-Pepper Rice & Pico de Gallo
Rhapsody In 'Cue (x 3) = St. Louis Spareribs, Pulled Pork, Smoked Chicken and Hot Link
Kansas City Spareribs (saucy) - one full rack
Memphis-Style Baby Back Ribs (leanest) - two full racks
Eight large, moist towlettes and many toothpicks. Hey, it's barbeque!
We're currently recording the first set from Jazz Standard.
Saucily yours,
J-Lo is 55!

Joe Lovano, that is.
It's Lovano's 55th birthday today, and he's celebrating it with a three-day run with his quintet at the Palazzo del Popolo in Orvieto, Italy. What a way to end a monumental year. Wish I could be there, since Italy's Umbria region is one of my favorite places to be, but I'll be spending my New Year's Eve at Jazz Standard, with Trio da Paz, Kenny Barron, and a great New York crew for NPR's Toast of the Nation (hope you'll be listening!).
Incidentally, Toast of the Nation is where Lovano's 2007 began, as a member of the McCoy Tyner Quartet (bassist Christian McBride and drummer Jeff "Tain" Watts make four) at Yoshi's. You can hear the fruits of that week at Yoshi's on record.
It's been such a banner year for Joe. Check out the video below. And when you see him again, raise a glass of my favorite Umbrian wine, Paolo Bea's Sagrantino de Montefalco, in honor of him.
Happy birthday, Joe Lovano. You're a class act.
