The pyramid diet was conceptualised in 1992 and it emphasises the best amount of servings to be consumed daily from the basic food groups (dairy, fruits and vegetables, grains, beans and legumes, meat, oils and fats).
The pyramid is divided into four levels. The very first level is comprised of grains, beans and legumes; the level above it is made up of fruits and vegetable; the third level from the top is composed of meat and dairy products and the very last one on top contains fats, sugars and oils.
The diet aims to divide the food groups in the above mentioned fashion to make you understand just how much to consume from each food group. Here is a breakdown of servings from each food group:
- Grains- 5 to 7 servings
- Fruits and vegetables- 2 servings of each
- Milk and dairy- 3 servings of which 1/2 serving should be dairy products
- Oils, sugar and fats- 6 teaspoons for oils and minimal servings for fats and sugars
This seems relatively easy to follow, but most people do not understand portion control. The amount or serving of food is called portion control and it is important if you want your diet to work. Here is a guideline that you can follow:
- When you are consuming one serving of grains in one sitting, you can choose to eat one cup of cereals or one slice of whole-wheat bread.
- When you are eating vegetable or fruits with your breakfast or lunch, choose one and a half cup of chopped vegetables, or one piece of orange, banana or apple.
- If you are drinking milk, then one cup of milk in one serving. And, if you are eating meat, choose one ounce of cooked fish or chicken.
- Lastly, do not go beyond one teaspoon of vegetable oil and try to keep your sugar intake to the minimum throughout the day.
The pyramid is an excellent guide to lose some weight. You just need some concentration and a ton of commitment to stick to the guide. Along with the diet, don't forget to get some exercise.
Cumin seed is a culinary herb that is local in Asia and is particularly used in India on daily basis. Cumin seeds are otherwise called jeera, caraway and kummel. It is a product of the cumin herb, however, it transforms into a seed only once it has dried. Cumin is an esteemed spice as it has numerous health advantages, usually for digestive conditions like colic, dyspepsia and flatulence. Nevertheless, consuming cumin seeds can have numerous side effects as well; so consult your specialist before you use it for medicinal purposes, as it can cause certain side effects as well, such as acidity or heartburn. Cumin seeds are known for their gas easing properties, yet it can bring about one of the most widely recognized digestive issue that is heartburn. It tends to facilitate the escape of more gas into your gastrointestinal tract. Liver damage: oil present in the cumin seeds is very unstable and can bring about liver and kidney damage, in case one consumes cumin seed in huge quantities for a long stretch of time. Cumin oil is used for animals to prevent or reduce muscle fits and spasms. Burping: the carminative impact of cumin seed may bring about excessive burping. Also, burping is sometimes referred as a ructus or belching, which includes too much bloating. Gas from the intestinal tract and stomach is released through the mouth. At times, burping has an awful smell and a trademark sound. Abortifacient effects: cumin seeds may also affect pregnant ladies. Consuming a lot of cumin seeds can prompt an unnatural birth cycle or instigate untimely or premature labor. Low blood sugar level: consuming cumin seeds in large quantities can bring down the glucose level in the body. One must remember this in case you are setting out towards a surgery in the near future. During surgery, it is crucial to keep up the glucose level. Narcotic effects: cumin seed has opiate properties. They need to be consumed with precaution, as they can be addictive. Opposite reactions of cumin seeds are mental blurring, sleepiness and nausea. Heavy menstrual cycle: cumin seeds may cause heavy bleeding during the menstrual cycle. In the event of cumin seeds being consumed in large amounts, you may experience heavier periods. Causes allergy: utilization of cumin seeds can bring about skin rashes and sensitivity. So individuals with skin sensitivity need to consume less cumin seeds to improve the condition. Not good for diabetics: diabetic patients need to control their glucose level. They must maintain regular glucose levels to stay sound. Fluctuating glucose levels are a strict no for most diabetics. As mentioned recently, cumin seeds may diminish your glucose level rapidly.

Human sexuality is a fairly complicated process and differs a lot between men and women. While most men can easily achieve orgasm, for women, is a completely different story. Many studies and self-reporting done on this subject have shown that very few actually get to orgasm most of the time and many fake it for a host of reasons. Let's look at a few of the top reasons why women may fake it.
To make a session end – A woman, while in the act, may feel bored or want the session to end quickly especially if her partner is close to or has already achieved orgasm. She would want to fake an orgasm to bring conclusion to the session and get on with other things.
To boost the ego of the partner – Women may fake orgasms to ensure that their partners don't feel guilty or inadequate about not making them climax. Although this usually happens in long term relationships, women may even do it in short term relationships to not hurt the ego of their men.
The partner doesn't know how to bring a woman to climax – Many men don't know how to bring their women to orgasm and thus, will try many things. There are other men who may not even care to know about pleasing their partners. In such cases, a woman may fake an orgasm as a ritual to show that she is also enjoying the act when she is actually not.
Used as a strategy to retain their partner in long term relationships – Many married women or women in long term relationships use fake orgasms to ensure that their partners feel happy. This is done so that their partners continue to stay with them and feel that they have been satisfying them well enough.
Faking an orgasm may lead to an actual one – Although this happens to a few women, some have reportedly stated that faking one orgasm might get them to have a real one. Some women also report being turned on by faking an orgasm.
She is afraid she will be judged – Many women feel insecure that if they are unable to orgasm with their respective partners, they might be judged as inadequate or incomplete. Thus, they would fake orgasms to bring finality to cover their own insecurities.

There may not be a more refreshing sight that will grace the PNC Park jumbo tron, this year.
es against the Brewers coming up this week, I plan on returning to my summer home to catch some more baseball. We all have a special place where we need to go to take time off, relax and be entertained. For ten years, PNC Park has been my spot. With 78 more home games to go I plan on enjoying every single one I get to go to, win or lose.

It's a shame idiots like that have to ruin the game for everyone else around them. Hopefully the next game you attend has excitement on the field, and not in the stands!

North Central College today is fertile ground for collaborations across disciplines and experiments with curriculum, facilities design and technology. It adds up to better opportunities for student learning and liberal arts education relevant to the 21st century.
Next year, honors students can enroll in a new interdisciplinary seminar titled Democracy and Identity: Reacting to Classical Athens and Modern India. Two North Central professors will bring to life key historical issues through the use of role-playing games, thanks to their trial of an innovative curriculum called Reacting to the Past.
"This is a way to engage students in history and historical texts in a substantive way," says Shereen Ilahi, assistant professor of history, who is teaching the class with Michael de Brauw, assistant professor of classics. The pair decided to collaborate on planning and teaching the new course using their areas of expertise: classical civilizations and India under British rule.
Students will participate in two role-playing games during the term: "Defining a Nation: India on the Eve of Independence, 1945" and "The Threshold of Democracy: Athens in 403 B.C." The Reacting to the Past curriculum for these topics and others originated at Barnard College.
The readings will come from original texts like Plato's "Republic" and writings by Gandhi. "Students will spend one-on-one time with us preparing their roles," explains de Brauw. "They will be cast as members of various factions during these important moments of historical strife. Their ability to use teamwork and persuasion based on logic and fact will be very important to the outcome. The overall goal is to make historical issues seem real and immediate."
The underlying theme for both games is democracy, debated when India was gaining independence from Great Britain, and in Athens after a civil war. "We'll consider the British perspective in 1947 and the question of whether democracy could be applied to the non-white world," adds Ilahi. "Comparing these two nations at these points in time reveals the significance of shared cultural and ethnic identity in democracy."

A new position offered to former University of Hawaii Athletics Director Jim Donovan came about only after UH President MRC Greenwood and UH Manoa Chancellor Tom Apple were threatened with a lawsuit by Donovan's attorney.
According to a July 16 letter released by the university Wednesday, attorney David Simons wrote that Greenwood and Apple "defamed" Donovan and "ruined his reputation" when they announced his suspension as AD on July 11.
The letter continues, saying Donovan was made a scapegoat by Greenwood and Apple because of the now infamous Stevie Wonder concert fiasco, in which the university wired $200,000 to a company in Florida with no connection to the superstar. The concert was supposed to have raised funds for athletics.
"Because this matter was embarrassing to both of you; you panicked and acted peremptorily to suspend Jim in order to deflect criticism from yourselves, and people who reported to you," Simons wrote. "By suspending Jim, you falsely made it appear that it was all his fault."
On August 11, Greenwood and Apple signed an agreement with Donovan that guarantees him a position under Apple's office at $211,200 per year for the next three years, on the condition Donovan agrees not to sue the university. Donovan's new contract is scheduled to begin March 24, 2013. Until then, he's being paid $200,640, or $30,000 less than he earned as AD.
Donovan's attorney said his client was in Dallas when the money was wired to Florida, and Donovan instructed that no money be transferred until the Stevie Wonder contract was cleared and approved by the university's general counsel. Simons said the final decision to release funds for the concert was made by the university's fiscal office.
A fact-finders report released Wednesday by the university and reviewed by the Board of Regents essentially cleared Donovan of any wrongdoing.
State lawmakers who continue to support Donovan and want him reinstated as athletics director, believe Greenwood and Apple are directly to blame for Donovan's threat of a lawsuit.
"That's because of poor handling on the part of UH administration, and in particular, the president and chancellor," said Rep. Mark Takai, who also serves as president of the UH Letterwinners Club. "They're the ones that came forward and basically chastised, ridiculed and condemned Jim Donovan."
"You have to look at that situation in my mind and say, 'Well, should it just stop at him, or should it go higher up the chain," added Rep. James Tokioka.
Meanwhile, state Sen. Jill Tokuda, who chairs the Education Committee, said the autonomy the university asked for and received in 2007 comes with greater responsibility to answer questions honestly and openly about the concert fiasco.
"I think the university is finding out for itself through this situation, that it's going to have to answer the questions that are being posed to them, and be able to be held accountable for their actions as well," said Tokuda. "Obviously, the real hope is that this investigation was done thoroughly (and) that everyone here was treated fairly."
Tokioka believes lawmakers will move to conduct hearings on what is now being called the "Wonder blunder."
"I'm sure we're going to have meetings, and I'm sure there are going to be people who want to get more answers from the university and the president and the chancellor," said Tokioka.
The University of Hawaii Professional Assembly has also expressed concern about the issues raised by Donovan's attorney in the July 16 letter. On its website UHPA wrote:
"The issues raised in the letter that the UH failure resides within the offices of General Counsel Darolyn Lendio and VP-Adminstration Howard Toto, has not been addressed adequately. UHPA is very concerned that the decisions made by President Greenwood and the Board of Regents, including the transfer of Mr. Donovan to another job, will encourage legislative scrutiny of all UH funding creating significant uncertainty for our students and faculty.

Divorce is between adults — but the breakup of a marriage can have profound effects on children, too. Here's help presenting a united front to your child.
Divorce is stressful for the entire family. Your child might feel as if his or her world has turned upside down. But there's good news. You can ease your child's adjustment to the divorce by interacting responsibly with your spouse. Consider these practical tips for children and divorce.
It's best if you and your spouse tell your child about the divorce together. Speak honestly and simply, but skip the ugly details. You might say, "Your mom (or dad) and I have been having trouble getting along, so we think it's best for us to live apart."
Make sure your child understands that divorce is only between adults. Remind your child — repeatedly — that he or she did nothing to cause the divorce, and that both of you love your child as much as ever.
Also tell your child's teacher, school counselor and doctor about the divorce. They can observe your child, keep you updated on any concerns and offer guidance.
Initially, your child might be most interested in concrete things. Where will I live? Do I need to change schools? Who will take me to swimming lessons? As you work out the terms of the divorce, try to maintain your child's routine as much as possible — or quickly establish a new routine. Knowing what to expect will help your child feel more secure.
But soon, the reality of divorce will settle in. A younger child might respond to the stress by regressing to behavior he or she had previously outgrown, such as sucking on a pacifier or wetting the bed. A resurgence of separation anxiety could strike as well. Help your child put his or her feelings into words.
An older child might respond to the stress with a mix of emotions — anger, anxiety, grief or even relief. If your child's anger turns inward, he or she might become depressed or withdrawn. Anger can have the opposite effect, too, causing a child to act out or develop behavior issues. Encourage your child to share his or her feelings as openly as possible.
Respecting your child's relationship with the other parent can help your child adapt to the divorce. Keep these general "don'ts" in mind:
It might be tempting to relax your parental rules while your child grieves the divorce, but this could lead to even more insecurity. Children thrive on consistency, structure and routine — even if they insist on testing boundaries and limits. If your child shares time between two households, it's important to maintain similar rules in both homes.
You might feel so hurt or overwhelmed by your divorce that you turn to your child for comfort, but that's not your child's role. For help sorting through your feelings, consider joining a divorce support group or seeking counseling through a social service agency or mental health center. If you and your spouse need help reaching decisions about your child during or after the divorce, consider using the services of a family or divorce mediator.
Your child might also benefit from counseling, especially if he or she has significant behavioral issues, seems depressed or has trouble adjusting to the divorce after the first year.
During a divorce, interacting with your spouse might be the last thing you want to do — but it's important. Your child needs both of you. Work out custody arrangements and other details with your child's best interests in mind. This could mean putting your child's needs ahead of your own wishes or desires.
Also, remember that a bitter or prolonged custody battle could take a serious, long-term toll on your child's mental health. Instead, help your child maintain a strong, loving relationship with the other parent as you work toward meeting common parenting goals. For your child, support from both parents might be the best tool for weathering the challenges of divorce.

Expert help enables Long Trail triumphBy Bryanna Allen
STAFF WRITER | July 28,2014When Trevor Thomas and his black Lab, Tennille, finished hiking the Long Trail earlier this month, they crossed off another long distance hike on their to-do list. Thomas, 35, and Tennille averaged 10 miles a day — hiking through rainstorms, climbing cliffs and rickety ladders, no small accomplishment for the average person.
But Thomas is not an average person. Thomas completed the 270-mile hike without benefit of eyesight.
About eight years ago, Thomas was finishing law school and looking forward to working as an lawyer in North Carolina. He spent his weekends skiing, skydiving and mountain biking, an athlete to the extreme.
That all came to an end when he started to lose his eyesight because of an autoimmune disease. A year later, Thomas could no longer do the things he loved.
"It was the most difficult thing I've experienced," Thomas said. At the time, he questioned his fate and felt as if he would never regain his love for adrenalin and independence.
That's when a friend suggested hiking, something that was difficult without sight, but not impossible.
Thomas started hiking, something he had never been interested in before going blind.
"I found it to be too tame when I could see," Thomas said. "Losing my sight made it more of a challenge, and I liked that."
Thomas spent the first several years in his newfound darkness solo hiking with the assistance of a GPS system on his phone and the descriptive voices of other hikers.
"Sometimes, I would sit by the trail for hours, just waiting for someone to come along and describe in great detail the next 10 miles of the trail," Thomas said. That tactic would not have worked well on the Long Trail, where he and Tennille went days without seeing a soul. He didn't need to rely on other people, however, because two years ago, he got Tennille from a guide dog company out west.
"She sees for me but thinks on her own," Thomas said of his constant companion. The process of getting her was not easy. Guide dogs are trained from birth and nearly 60 percent of them fail to have the cognitive skills to be a successful working dog. Each dog must bond with their person or the deal is off.
"People have told me that they can see the bond we have by the way she looks at me," Thomas said. Tennille knows how tall Thomas is, and warns him if there is a branch in the way of his head when they're hiking.
"I don't know how she does it, but she is right most of the time."
The four-legged hiker lets Thomas know when there is a trail intersection, water source, directional signs or obstacle in the way. She will physically lead him to them, or climb on a fallen log to let him know it's there. She leads him to the Starbucks down the road from his house, or to his favorite Gatorade in an aisle of the grocery store.
"She just knows," said Thomas, who can't go from his office to the kitchen without her trailing close behind.
Between a voice-activated GPS system and his canine guide, Thomas has hiked dozens of long-distance trails throughout the country.
"It's simply incredible to see him with his dog, completing these hikes that are difficult for people who can see," said Vermont search-and-rescue coordinator Neil Van Dyke. Van Dyke met the duo when they came into Stowe from the trail to find a post office.
"It's not unusual to assist hikers on this rough trail," Van Dyke said. "But Thomas was not one of them."
Only 140 people complete the entire trail each year, said Green Mountain Club director of land and facilities Peter Antos-Ketchan.
"It's doable, but challenging. Some places are very technical and isolated," Antos-Ketchan said.
Thomas said he no longer owns a suit and can't imagine being anything but the professional hiker and motivational speaker he is.
"I didn't used to believe that everything happened for a reason," Thomas said. "But now I do. I didn't find this job or this dog, they both found me."

|Photograph Courtesy of the Maggie McPherson Burmeister Family. Photograph Set-up and Notation by Bill Mansur
Note: This may have been the original McPherson log house, as the Adamsons did not arrive in Springdale until 1858.
Even if it is not the originall log house, it would have looked much the same as in this photograph.
Also the Adamson land was carved out of the original McPherson 80 acres holding. /JGH
Hewing a Home From The Land
Cold rain pelted James P. McPherson as shepherded his young family onto the river steamer in NYC, headed up the Hudson River to Albany , and then onto the horse pulled boats of the Erie Canal. A cold spring wind dashed their faces and stung through their clothes as they plied the Great Lakes from Buffalo to Milwaukee. And then there was warm glorious May sunshine as the wagon carried them closer to their new home in Wisconsin.
The date was May 21st of 1850, when they arrived at the John Stewart place which was located on Military Ridge between Verona and the McPherson's soon to be home of Springdale. The road would be known as Scotch Lane, as the residents – Adamson, Clow, Muir, Nimmo, Davidson, Stewart, Henderson, Beat. McGaughey, Whyte, Lyle, McDonald, and soon McPherson – immigrated from Scotland, and many from the villages and towns near Edinburgh and Dundee.
James P. and his wife Mary were greeted by John Stewart, who let them move into his log cabin which stood by his new frame store. John Beat showed up the next day to plough a garden spot for the new comers – Scots they be. Potatoes were planted. Onions sowed. The men of Scotch Lane took McPherson over the ridge to Springdale to look for land – two 40-acre plots near the Thomas Miles place. A bonny location. The surveyor was brought out and the deal was done. At long last James P. McPherson had his own land. The stench and fiber filled air of Dundee was long past, and soon the teeming, immigrant crowed streets and tenements of NYC 's Five Points would recede into the past – only memories. Now he had land.
Mary, his bonny black haired wife, had her hands full with the three stair-stepped boys, seven-year old Billy, James, and Jabez at three, to say nothing of baby Ann; in addition she cooked, cleaned and helped James in the garden. They had spent their savings getting to this land of theirs – cost more than $36 in travel from NYC to this land – and that dinna count the miscellany of "cart for hire, back dues and Food & lodging by the night." Their pockets were empty, so they scrambled to live. James' work in the flax mills prompted his learning of the tailoring trade in NYC and he quickly put those skills to use. The Stewarts, Gows, Beats, McDonalds, McKays, and Davidson's called at the log cabin to have pants, coats, vests, and hats to be made by McPherson. He also helped his new friends and neighbors in the fields, hoeing, planting, haying, harvesting and thrashing. Mary helped out where she could; she quickly became known as a healer and was called in birthings and when children were ill; she also knitted finely. According to the stories passed down to the children, they had very little money that first year in Springdale, and were paid for their work by a piece of meat, a slab of newly churned butter, and most importantly the neighbors helped with cutting, hauling and setting logs for their new home.
McPherson's diary showed that the work on his house did not go smoothly. Even though within the first month, he had picked out and surveyed his land, and even had taken Mary and the children out to view the land on which they would make their home, he only had a few days in July to cut logs for his house. Then it was haying and hoeing for neighbors, followed by more haying and harvesting, and thrashing --- all up and down Scotch Lane through July, August, September, October, and even into November. Summers in Dane County, Wisconsin sizzle, but winter winds and cold come quickly in October and November. Although, James P. spent a day or so cutting thatch for his roof in late September and early Ocotber, it was not until mid November that he began the serious work of cutting logs. He noted in the Novr 15th to 19th entry that "John Beat with his own & Mr. Lamonts oxen hauled my logs." For the next five days, James Peter worked at setting the logs for his house, and by November 25th , "Anderson hewed my wall plates. John Eadie fitted joist."
During the first six months on Scotch Lane, McPherson had gone to every "raising" of a house or barn on the neighborhood. So, as was their way, November 26th, "Messers Anderson, Miles, Menzie, John & James Eadie, Mitchell, Dd Beat, G Davidsons, J McDonald, Jr., Dan Lester, Wm Thomson & Mr. Lamont and his team" showed up at the "raising" of the McPherson log cabin.
For the next three weeks, in late November and early December, he was "working at my house when weather would permit up to Tuesday 17th when I moved into it." Then he started settling in as he wrote, "Fixing My house and making Mr. A. Meyers coat up Tuesday 31s. The first two weeks of 1851, James P. worked at his tailoring trade, making coats, pants and vests for Meyers, Thomson, Stewart, Davidson, and the Beats.
And then came the January cold spell. January 16th brought "excessive cold," snow and wind that stripped the thatch from part of the roof, so that he "slept none at night." The next day the temperature dropped even more. Mr. Miles came to the rescue and moved the family to the his home until the roof of McPherson's log cabin could be fixed. Even though the weather was still very cold, Mr. Lamont, J. Beat, Menzie, and A. Davidson came to help James P. repair his roof. And by the next day the "cold decreased", so James, Mary and the four children moved back into their log cabin with the now repaired roof.
T'is almost a necessity to have a wee bit of madness, the wondrous sort of madness that took James and his bonny Mary from the flax mills of Dundee to America; then from the gang and rodent infested Five Points of NYC to Wisconsin where land could be his for the taking – and hard work. A madness that assured the scrappy Scot that he could hew a home and farm from the wilderness and provide for his family all the while. T'is indeed a wondrous bit of madness.

Ohio EPA updates restrictions on eating area fish
Anglers who enjoy catching their dinner should do so just once a week, or perhaps less frequently depending on the species of the fish and the location where it's caught.
The Ohio Environmental Protection Agency's updated fish consumption advisory for 2013 relaxed regulations for some areas but added restrictions for others.
Bodies of water that saw lower mercury levels resulted in more relaxed advisories. They include the Ashtabula River, Deer Creek, Deer Creek Lake, Lake Erie, Pike Lake, Ross Lake and Stonelick Lake.
Only the Great Miami River, Lake Erie and the Scioto River had more restrictive advisories after this year's study, according to a news release by the Ohio EPA.
The regulations regarding fish advisories from local rivers, streams and lakes remained constant because no research was done on the local area this year.
"The EPA generally looks at different rivers and lakes on a rotation of about once every five years or so," said Linda Fee Oros, spokesperson for the EPA. "It really just depends on what they have time for as to how many can get done every year."
Oros said that generally, advisories remain pretty constant from year to year.
"Some bodies of water get slightly better and some get slightly worse in the time between advisories," said Oros. "Nothing we found this year was a drastic change from what we have seen in the past from those areas."
It has been several years since the Ohio EPA has had a chance to test the local bodies of water.
The last time that the Ohio River was sampled was in 2003, the Muskingum River was in 2006, and the Little Muskingum River was tested in 2009, this according to the EPA website.
All three bodies of water still have the previous restrictions regarding the consumption of certain species currently in place.
These restrictions are due to potentially harmful chemicals that can build up in fish.
Polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) are highly toxic industrial compounds that accumulate in the bottom of rivers, lakes and streams that can build up in the fatty tissues of fish. There are over 200 different PCB compounds and high concentrations of the compound pose serious health risks to anyone if ingested, this according to the Environmental Defense Fund website.
Mercury can be released into the environment through natural occurrences such as volcanic activity, but most are due to coal burning, gold mining and manufacturing plants. Mercury can be consumed by plankton and then works its way up the food chain to fish, according to the Stony Brook University website. High amounts of some mercury can cause gastrointestinal problems, according to the U.S. EPA.
All of the species of fish restricted in the area are because of potentially high mercury or PCB levels.
In the Little Muskingum, located from Hill's Covered Bridge to the mouth of the Ohio River in Washington County, a one meal a month advisory is in place for spotted bass due to mercury. Residents may also enjoy a meal per month of freshwater drum in the Little Muskingum, because of both mercury and polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs).
In the Muskingum River, from the Zanesville Dam to the mouth of the Ohio River, there is a meal every 2 months advisory on smallmouth buffalo over 24 inches due to PCBs.
Channel catfish, common carp, all white bass and smallmouth buffalo under 24 inches, are under a meal a month advisory due to PCBs in the Muskingum River. A one meal per month advisory is also in affect for flathead catfish over 24 inches and saugeye due to mercury and PCBs.
Freshwater drum may be eaten only once a month from the Muskingum River due to elevated mercury levels in the species.
In the Ohio River, located from the Pennsylvania border to the Belleville Lock south of Parkersburg, no channel catfish over 18 inches should ever be ingested because of PCBs. All channel catfish under 18 inches, white bass and common carp, can be eaten by residents only one meal every two months due to PCBs.
Due to the presence of PCBs, any freshwater drum 14 inches and over, black crappie, white crappie, smallmouth buffalo, flathead catfish, sauger, saugeye, smallmouth bass, largemouth bass, walleye, spotted bass, stripped bass, and suckers in the Ohio River may only be consumed once per month.
"It's very important that everyone is aware of any consumption advisories that exist for water sources located near them," said Mike Greenlee, fish management supervisor with the Ohio Department of Natural Resources Division of Wildlife.
Most fish that are caught in the wild are generally very safe, and are a healthy choice to include in a diet, according to Greenlee.
Some fish in Ohio waters, especially smaller species, actually have a lower chance of contaminants compared to larger sport fish.
"Crappie, yellow perch, bluegill and other species of sunfish tend to have lower amounts of contaminants," said Greenlee. "The Ohio Department of Health and the EPA state that in most cases, two meals of these species may be consumed per week, rather than only one."
Greenlee stated that preparation was another great way to limit the amount of contaminants found in wild fish.
"When filleting the fish it's important to remove the skin and trim as much of the fat as possible," he said. "An area to pay extra close attention to is the belly area where there is a large portion of fat next to the muscle."
Anglers aren't going to be able to tell what bodies of water are contaminated based on their appearance so these advisories are the only way they will know what's safe, according to Greenlee.
"This isn't something you can visually look for, these are compounds that can only be found by testing in a lab," he said. "That's why it's extremely important people rely on the results of these advisories so they can eat what they catch safely."

Another thought I have was of something I read many years ago about the fifth day of the festival at Mission Espiritu Santo that was in honor of the new King Ferdinand VI. The fireworks for that celebration failed due to the dampness of the air.
I would never have imagined that the missioners of long ago had fireworks. The missioners used celebration and dancing as a way to sway the Native Americans away from their own culture and into acceptance of the Spanish lifestyle.
The Native Americans would hold dances called "mitotes." They would use an assortment of instruments from tortoise shells to reed flutes.
"These mitotes according to the instruments that accompanies the dance are expressive of joy and mirth, gloom and sorrow. They have several saints in whose honor they held these mitotes; one is the god Pichini; another saint Mel." (The Solis Diary of 1767, translated by Rev. Peter Forrestal, C.S.C. Am. Litt. D. pg. 12)
The Native Americans danced for various reasons such as victory over enemies, good hunting and to spirits of ancestors.
To persuade the Native Americans to give up their mitotes, the missioners introduced the old Spanish dance of fandangos. According to the Solis Diary, Native Americans learned to play the guitar and violin as good as or even better than most Spaniards. They also performed the dances quite well. Special clothing with masks and palms for crowns would be worn for the fandangos. Solis mentions that the fandangos were only partly successful because the Native Americans would sneak off into the woods to perform their mitotes.
Surprisingly, on "the evening before the principle feast of the most Holy Virgin, fire crackers are set off and lights are lit in front of the friar and candles are given to the Indian women to illumine their homes." (Library of Historical Research Translation by Fr. Benedit Leutenegger O.F.M. Volume 1 pg. 13.)
The friars used what was available to bring significance and meaning to a holiday. The fireworks display would not be impressive by today's standards, but to the people back then, the same emotions went through them as today.
Imagine 250 years ago, people in Goliad were watching fireworks in awe just like you and me.

- Abstract
- Density, electron microscopy, elastic modulus, and small-angle neutron scattering studies are used to characterize the microstructures of yttria-stabilized zirconia plasma-sprayed deposits as a function of both feedstock morphology and annealing. In particular, anisotropic multiple small-angle neutron scattering data are combined with anisotropic Pored scattering results to quantify each of the three main porous components in these thermal barrier coating materials: intrasplat cracks, intersplat lamellar pores and globular pores. An inverse correlation between the volume of porosity and its surface area is confirmed for the as-sprayed deposits, as is a preferential annealing of intrasplat cracks at elevated temperatures. The average elastic modulus is correlated with the total void surface area while the elastic anisotropy is related more closely to the intersplat porosity. However, depending on the feedstock morphology, globular pores are also shown to play a surprisingly significant role in post-anneal deposit microstructures and properties.

Journalist Marie Colvin, second left, poses for a photograph with Libyan rebels in Misrata, June 4, 2011. She was among 67 journalists killed worldwide in 2012, according to the Committee to Protect Journalists.
The civil war in Syria, targeted shootings in Somalia and continued violence in Pakistan made 2012 a particularly dangerous year for journalists, with at least 67 killed worldwide in direct relation to their work, according to an organization that defends press freedom.
The fatality numbers compiled through mid-December by the Committee to Protect Journalists represent a 42 percent increase over 2011. The committee says 2012 is on track to becoming one of the deadliest years for journalists since it began compiling records in 1992.
Coupled with snapshot figures showing a record-high number of journalists imprisoned worldwide – 232 on Dec. 1 – this year has been a year of living dangerously for those who work to gather and disseminate news, said Joel Simon, executive director of the Committee to Protect Journalists.
"You put all that together and it's a very bleak picture," Simon told NBC News on Thursday.
"I would say this has been one of the worst years. There've been years when we've had higher numbers of journalists killed, but the combination of near-record fatalities and record journalists imprisoned -- put those together and you have to acknowledge that this is one of the worst years on record."
Syria was by far the deadliest country for journalists in 2012. According to committee statistics, 28 journalists were killed in the fighting or targeted for murder by government or opposition forces. Among them were Marie Colvin, an award-winning American correspondent who worked for The Sunday Times of London, and French freelance photographer Remi Ochlik, both of whom were killed in a rocket attack in the Baba Amr neighborhood of the besieged city of Homs on Feb. 22.

French photojournalist Remi Ochlik works in Homs, Syria, in 2012.
Twelve journalists died this year in Somalia, where the militant Islamist group al-Shabaab has been waging a violent insurgency against the Mogadishu-based federal government. All were murdered, according to CPJ, which says not a single killer of a journalist has been prosecuted in Somalia over the past decade.
Pakistan, the deadliest country for journalists in 2010 and 2011, dropped to third this year, but the number of fatalities held steady at seven, the committee reported.
In Brazil, four journalists were killed -- the country's highest annual toll in more than a decade. "In small cities, bloggers and writers for small newspapers and Web portals who are calling out corruption are being targeted," Gabriel Elizondo, a correspondent for al-Jazeera in São Paulo, was quoted as saying by CPJ. "The profile is usually the same: It's a small-town journalist, working for a small outlet, who gets gunned down."

The worst year on record for journalist killings was 2009, when 74 people died because of their work — nearly half of them slain in a massacre in Maguindanao province, Philippines, according to CPJ.
Simon said the record-high number of imprisoned journalists as of Dec. 1 also was "extremely disturbing."
"One reason is what's happening in Turkey. There's a massive crackdown under way on political expression and political dissent largely focused on the Turkish minority. Many of the journalists in jail are Kurdish," he said.
NBC's Richard Engel and his production team made their homecoming late Thursday night. In their first in-depth interview since being freed, Engel and his team, including cameraman John Kooistra, producer Ghazi Balkiz and two other crew members, tell their story about spending five days in captivity in Syria and the trauma they survived. NBC's Savannah Guthrie reports.
"Other places we've seen an increase (in detentions) are places where there have been repressive policies (against the media) for some time, like China, Eritrea, Syria, Iran," Simon said.
The imprisonment numbers, because they were tallied on Dec. 1, don't include NBC News' Chef Foreign Correspondent Richard Engel and members of his network production team. They were captured and held in Syria for five days before being freed after a firefight between the captors and a Syrian rebel group at a checkpoint on Monday, NBC News said. In any case, CPJ's tally doesn't include journalists who are abducted by "non-state actors," Simon said.
Journalists who worked online made up more than one-third of the death toll in 2012, compared with one-fifth in 2011, CPJ noted.
"More independent journalists are working online closer to the action and getting killed as a result," Simon said.
"Think about how front-line news is being gathered today. In a lot of countries around the world, dissent is limited and curtailed. There's no opposition to express critical views in the media, so people for last decade or more have been expressing those critical ideas online. Governments have been cracking down on this."

Springfield, Ill. – The Illinois State Board of Education (ISBE) and Illinois Department of Transportation (IDOT) are working together to remind drivers that the end of summer also means the start of school and that they will soon be sharing the roadways with more than 2 million students. During the start of the school year the Illinois State Board of Education will be encouraging schools to reach out to local police agencies to emphasize traffic safety in school zones and the Illinois Department of Transportation will be flashing messages on its changeable message boards reminding drivers that school is back in session. Last year, nearly 100 children between the age of 5 and 18 were killed and nearly 12,000, mostly within the same age range were injured in crashes in which they were either passengers, a pedestrian or on a bike.
"I'm urging superintendents and principals to reach out to their local police agencies and ask them to stress traffic safety in school zones during the start of classes," said State Superintendent of Education Christopher A. Koch. "The start of the school year means that drivers will need to pay attention and look for school buses and watch for students especially in the morning and afternoon in and around school zones. Our students will be walking and riding their bikes to school, so we're asking motorists to please, give them a brake."
The Labor Day weekend marks the traditional end of summer and start of the school year throughout Illinois. During the weeks surrounding the Labor Day holiday weekend the Illinois Department of Transportation has agreed to display the message, "Kids are Back in School, Give 'em a Brake," reminding motorists that school is beginning. IDOT has 55 changeable message signs throughout the state.
"Kids are changing their routines and drivers will need to change theirs as school starts throughout the state. They'll need to slow down in school speed zones and stop when they see a bus with its lights flashing and arm extended," said Acting IDOT Secretary Milt Sees. "It only takes a split second for a tragedy to occur. We want drivers to remember more kids are going to be out on the streets especially in the morning and afternoons. Please, look out for them."
Last year there were 96 children between the ages of 5 and 18 killed in automobile crashes, an increase of 3 from 2006. In 2007, 11,681 children in this age group were injured in crashes, a decrease of 638 from 2006. In 2007, there were 4 people killed and 604 injured in 2,297 crashes involving school buses, compared to 2 people killed and 539 injured in 2,069 crashes the year before.
Tips for back to school driving include:
- Speed limit in a school zone is 20 mph on school days between 7 a.m. and 4 p.m. when children are present and signs are posted
- A school zone is a no passing zone
- A driver must yield the right-of-way to a pedestrian in a marked or unmarked crosswalk on the driver's side of the roadway and there are no traffic control signals
- A driver must yield the right-of-way when a person is walking with a green light or entered a crosswalk before the traffic signal changed
- You must stop before passing a school bus when it is loading or unloading passengers and you must remain stopped while the signal arm is extended and lights are flashing
- It is not necessary to stop when you are traveling in the opposite direction of a stopped school bus on a roadway with four or more lanes. However, you should use caution

Redefining cancer
Blogging is a rather immediate endeavor. Over the last nine years (nearly), I've lost track of how many times I saw something that I wanted to blog about but by the time I got around to it, it was no longer topical. Usually what happens is that my Dug the Dog tendencies take over, as I'm distracted by yet another squirrel, although sometimes there are just too many
targets topics and too little time. Fortunately, however, sometimes the issue is resurrected, sometimes in a really dumb way, such that I have an excuse to correct my previous oversight. This is just such a time, and the manner in which the topic has been resurrected is every bit as dumb as the rant by the Food Babe that Mark Crislip so delightfully deconstructed last Friday. Unfortunately, for purposes of snark, I'm not Mark Crislip—but, then, who is?—but fortunately I am known elsewhere (and sometimes here) for being a bit "insolent." So let's dig in. We'll start with the idiocy and then use that as a "teachable moment" about cancer biology. Funny how I manage to do that sort of thing so often.
Abuse of cancer science for political purposes
I realize that we at SBM are supposed to stay, for the most part, apolitical, but the idiocy that's leading me to revisit a topic is unavoidably political because it involves using a profound misunderstanding of science for political ends. Specifically, I'm referring to the misuse of a legitimate scientific debate about cancer screening and diagnosis for purely political ends. First, however, for those not living in the US or my fellow citizens who might be blissfully unaware (in this case) of recent events, during the first half of October, our nation underwent what can only be described as a self-inflicted crisis that could have caused worldwide economic turmoil if it hadn't been (sort of) resolved at the last minute. The reason for the crisis boiled down to the extreme resistance of some of our more radically conservative Representatives to the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, usually referred to as just the Affordable Care Act (ACA) or, colloquially, Obamacare. Normally when we write about Obamacare here on SBM, it's to complain about how advocates of unscientific medicine and outright quackery have tried to piggyback their advocacy on the ACA in order to have health insurance plans sold through government exchanges cover modalities like naturopathy, chiropractic, and other so-called "complementary and alternative medicine" (CAM) or "integrative medicine." In related posts, I've examined the evidence with respect to the relationship between health insurance and mortality and whether attacks on Medicaid as not improving the health of patients insured by it have any validity. (Let's just say they are oversimplifications and distortions.)

Fantabuloso Dos
Allstate Arena – Rosemont, IL
After much hype being built up all night for his performance; Pitbull was finally on stage. He was donning his signature business look. He made dancing in a suit look damn easy. He meant business, he covered many hits from his career although only playing a 30 minute set. Some of his songs included " Shut It Down", "Move Shake Drop", "On the Floor", and "I Like it". Although the latter are duets, his seamless performance left nothing to miss. Pitbull is one of those performers that are worth the wait. Although his performance only being 30 minutes left us wanting more.
definitely gave us a show.

Bandits Will Not Retain Head Coach Kilgour
from press release
BUFFALO, N.Y. — The Buffalo Bandits today announced that the team has opted not to renew the contract of head coach Darris Kilgour for next season. The team will begin its search for a new head coach immediately.
"It's never easy making this type of decision," said Scott Loffler, Bandits director of lacrosse operations. "However, we felt that a change at head coach is needed at this time to turn things around. What makes this decision especially difficult is that we are parting ways with Darris Kilgour, who has been an integral part of the success and history of the Buffalo Bandits. Words cannot express our gratitude for what Darris has done for this organization and there is no doubt he will have success in lacrosse circles in the future. We wish him the best of luck."
"It was an incredibly tough decision," said Bandits General Manager Steve Dietrich. "Because when I think of the Buffalo Bandits I think of Darris Kilgour and John Tavares. I had the pleasure of playing with, for, and against Darris and I love his utter belief in the Bandits organization. We believe we need a new voice and a new vision behind the bench to lead the new generation of Bandits as we continue to strive to bring the Champion's Cup back where it belongs."
Kilgour posted a 103-73 career record as head coach of the Bandits from 2003 to 2013. The Bandits went 11-9 in 20 playoff games under Kilgour, including three NLL Finals appearances and a Champion's Cup win in 2008.

We're obsessed with Paris-based Vanessa Bruno and her super-chic creations.
Fall's folklore: Vanessa Bruno pulls on the romance of folkloric inspirations for her Fall/Winter 2016 collection. The look plays with poetic gypsy references and splices them with more modern, urban touches for good measure. Bohemian and sensual, the colourful, embroidered dresses are effortlessly cool under the designer's knitted sweater or leather midi skirt. Or why not up the ante with copper-coloured fur gilet, which certainly promises to stand out next to a classic Vanessa Bruno tote or shoulder bag.
Since launching in 1996, Vanessa Bruno, the former model, actress and singer's namesake label has been adored by the fashion set for its modern brand of feminine elegance.

Anchorage, Alaska nicknamed "the City of Lights and Flowers", is the state's largest city and home to over 40 percent of the Alaska population.
Anchorage has a strong, steady economy due in part to its global location and the presence of two military bases nearby. Thanks to its being on the air trade routes between the United States and Asia, the Anchorage International Airport is the world's third busiest airport by cargo traffic.
Virtually all goods coming into Alaska by sea come through the Port of Anchorage, making the city a critical location for international trade. The port's Intermodal Expansion Project is expected to be completed in 2014 and will about double the port's capacity.
Just six miles from the Extended Stay America Downtown hotel is Elmendorf Air Force Base, whose mission is to support U.S. military efforts in the Asia Pacific region. Also located near Anchorage is Fort Richardson. Following the attacks of September 11, 2001, this base's Task Force 1-501 was upgraded to an airborne brigade.
Anchorage is a popular place for tourists, especially those who love wildlife and the great outdoors. However, visitors should take proper precautions, as the Anchorage area is home to more than 300 bears and moose herds that grow to over 1,000 in winter. Add the 30 or so wolves who live in the Anchorage area, and there is good reason to enjoy nature from a safe distance.
Visitors can experience the vast natural wonders of the area in one of Anchorage's numerous parks and nature centers. The Alaska Botanical Garden shows off some of Alaska's hardy perennials and native plant species. The Alaska Zoo, situated on 25 gorgeous wooded acres, is another popular attraction that draws over 200,000 people annually.
Come to Anchorage during the right season, and you can enjoy golf in some of the most beautiful country you can imagine. The Anchorage Golf Course, just six miles from the Extended Stay America Midtown Hotel, is a great place to start.
For comfortable, convenient, and affordable hotels in Anchorage, Extended Stay America is a terrific choice.
