Heart disease is the #1 killer in the US, and elevated cholesterol levels is thought to be a primary cause (see also here). This may explain why a plant-based diet, which is free of cholesterol and saturated animal fats, has been so successful in preventing and treating the disease (see here, here, here, here, here, here, and here). The balance of evidence suggests that a plant-based diet may not only protect against and even reverse heart disease (see here, here, and here). Reversing heart disease is critical considering heart disease often starts in childhood. Heart disease was found to be almost non-existent in populations eating a diet centered around whole plant foods (see here and here). The arteries of those eating a plant-based diet have less atherosclerotic plaque than runners and than those on a low-carb diet. But if those adhering to a plant-based diet do not consume enough vitamin B12, they may negate the cardiovascular benefits. Those on a Paleo diet may also negate the cardiovascular benefits of exercise. Plant foods are the only source of heart-healthy fiber, while animal-products are the only significant source of cholesterol (see here, here). In terms of target cholesterol level, it appears to be best to get as low as possible (see also here, here, here, here).
Unfortunately, due to a lack of nutrition education in medical schools, many doctors may be unaware of the power of nutrition to stop our number one killer (see here, here). Ignorance is one of a number of factors to blame for the lack of information presented to patients on dietary changes that can improve heart health (see also here, here, and here). The "sick population" concept that leads nutrition studies to underestimate the role of diet in disease. Sadly, the most common treatment is the prescription of cholesterol-lowering drugs (see also here, here, here, and here) which is be linked to increased breast cancer risk among other adverse side effects. Meanwhile, whole grains, grapefruit, and exercise may help lower cholesterol naturally (see also here). There are some doctors, however, who choose to inform their patients of the cardiovascular benefits of a plant-based diet (see also here). Erectile dysfunction and other vascular insufficiency symptoms may be an early warning sign for heart disease and can be reversed with diet (see also here). Pistachio nuts and watermelon may in particular help improve penis blood flow. Heart disease may also lead to low back pain and sciatica.
Medicare now reimburses programs that heart disease through diet and lifestyle changes (see also here and here). Unfortunately, the U.S. Dietary Guidelines have yet to follow the lead of other countries that have successfully combatted this scourge. The history of the U.S. Dietary Guidelines may shed some light on some reasons why. Fortunately the American Heart Association has come out with seven lifestyle goals to combat heart disease.
Eating just one egg a day may exceed the safe limit of cholesterol and has been linked to a shortened lifespan (see also here). Eggs are so high in cholesterol that the Egg Industry cannot even legally claim that eggs are "nutritious" (see here, here, here, here, here, here). Big Egg is not the only industry attempting to mislead about the health consequences of their products. Meat may increase heart disease mortality (see here and here), and fish and fish oil supplements may not be as heart-healthy as once thought, due to contamination with mercury and industrial pollutants (see here, here). Chicken and fish consumption may have the same negative impact as red meat on our cholesterol. Dairy may increase heart disease risk because dairy products are the #1 source of saturated fat in the American diet, which the dairy industry has attempted to convince the public is untrue through misleading campaigns. The heme iron found in animal foods may also increase heart disease risk.
There are certain plant foods which may be especially protective against heart disease, especially foods high in nitrates, antioxidants (see also here), fiber, and potassium. These include greens such as kale, soy and other beans (see also here and here), nuts (see also here, here, here, and here, including peanut butter), tea (especially hibiscus and green tea), flax seeds (see also here), whole grains, red rice, citrus, Ceylon cinnamon, coffee (see also here), cocoa (not chocolate), dark chocolate, dried apples (see also here), Indian gooseberries (see also here), golden raisins and currants, berries, tomatoes, oatmeal, and some spices (such as turmeric – see also here). For additional benefits, look to cooking some vegetables (see also here), exercising 1 hour each day, and sleeping 7 hours each night.
While vitamin C supplements and multivitamins may be useless but harmless, we should probably avoid vitamin A, E, and beta-carotene supplements. Also associated with adverse cardiac consequences: coconut oil (see here) and coconut milk, dark fish in particular, Premarin, salt (see also here), high fat meals (including olive oil), BPA in plastics, and smoking. Alcohol appears to possibly be protective against heart disease but is not recommended because it increases the risk of cancer.

WEST VALLEY CITY, Utah (ABC 4 Utah) – City and police officials announced Monday they will no longer actively search for missing Utah mother, Susan Cox Powell, although the case will remain open.
The West Valley City Police Department released tens of thousands of documents to the public related to Susan's disappearance case.
The media and Anne Bremner, attorney for the Cox family, had frequently requested the documents since Susan first went missing in December 2009. Bremner said Susan's parents, Chuck and Judy Cox, had received a copy of the files electronically, but had not yet reviewed the documents.
The documents detail every aspect of the investigation, including interviews and searches that spanned across several states in deserts, mountains, mine shafts, canyons and valleys. Investigators said they talked with over 800 people to get information on the case.
Susan's husband, Josh Powell, was named a person of interest in the case in the early stages of the investigation. Detectives believe Josh was involved in Susan's disappearance, but said there was never enough evidence against him for a successful prosecution.
Josh killed himself and his sons, Charlie and Braden, when he blew up their Washington state home in February 2012.
Susan's family and friends said they will not stop searching for Susan. They hope to one day to find her. Chuck Cox said he plans to organize private searches in the near future with the help of volunteers.

Let me preface this by saying that I am not acting on behalf of the PawSox as I write this blog. I am doing so after seeing the Cathedral of Saints Peter and Paul packed to the rafters as Ben Mondor was laid to rest last week. There were "dignitaries" on hand. Theo Epstein. Governor Carcieri and I.L. President Randy Mobley to name a few. Former players like Frank Malzone, Bob Montgomery and Sam Bowen filled the pews of the church. Current PawSox player Aaron Bates and his girlfriend, Miss Massachusetts, USA, Lacey Wilson drove down from Boston. There is no way I could even begin to tell you who else was there. It was a full house. One last time, Ben Mondor packed them in, as he did for decades at McCoy Stadium. There were countless PawSox fans there to pay tribute. Faces that I have seen at the ballpark. I don't know all their names, but I sure recognized dozens of faces at the service. Ben would have appreciated that. He was a man of the people.
I was a guest on the Helen Glover Show on our flagship station 920 WHJJ. Helen asked me to share my memories of Ben, which I was more than happy to do. I had gathered my thoughts and thought of a few stories I could tell. As I was about to go on the air, she started playing Louis Armstrongs' classic "What a Wonderful World." That started to choke me up a bit, since Kevin Galligan had put up a video tribute to Ben on PawSox.com with that very song as the background. Fortunately for me, I was able to compose myself and go ahead with the interview. Helen asked me an interesting question. "Would McCoy Stadium be renamed in Bens' honor?" Honestly, I didn't know. It is more than well deserved. I don't know all the details, but I had heard that Ben rejected the idea when it was proposed after the renovation in the late nineties. He did concede to the naming of Ben Mondor Way, a street that leads to the park. The renaming of the "House That Ben Built" would be a lasting tribute. I could also envision a statue of Ben, maybe out in front of the ticket office. A smiling Ben, maybe handing tickets to a young child. That is what he was all about. Ironically, former I.L. President Harold Cooper (The Ben Mondor of Columbus, Ohio) has a statue erected in his honor at the new Huntington Park, the Clippers' home. Sadly, Cooper died at just about the same time Ben passed.
Ben Mondor was a man who didn't like hoopla when it came to him. I am sure the PawSox will celebrate his life fittingly. MIke Tamburro and Lou Schwechheimer learned for over three decades from Ben. Even though he might not have approved, it would be the right thing to do. I'd love to hear your ideas for a Mondor tribute. Something as simple as a patch for the 2011 uniform or as elaborate as you can come up with. Please submit your ideas here. Thanks!

There's no reason to keep the current name of McCoy Stadium. It was built by Mayor McCoy, with government money, as a tribute to himself. I haven't ever had the impression that the Mayor was the most upstanding and honorable citizen in the city of Pawtucket. I've also heard it was referred to as "McCoy's Folly", while it took two years to build, because there were problems with the footings sinking back into the swamp it was being built on. So, so long Mayor McCoy.
Now it's time to rename the facility after someone deserving of the honor. "Ben Mondor Field", would be my choice. I like the sound of "Field", rather than stadium…sort of relaxing and friendly sounding.
Also, a retired number for Ben like they have at Fenway. I'll suggest 73 for the first year or 33 for the longest game.
Don Werner
Keep it McCoy Stadium. It will always be known as McCoy Stadium. No disrespect to Ben Mondor.

I know how you feel, was at my parents place on Monday and all it takes is one icy step and down you go.
Well that was me on Monday. I stepped on that one icy step and down I went. It took me a couple of days to be able to walk with any ability. I was all banged up in the head, neck, shoulders, ribs, and lower back. My Dad offered to call the local rescue and I refused. I said I just had the wind knocked out of me and he asked if I was sure. I told him of course I am not sure, do I look like a doctor to you. He then says, yup...yer fine, same ole' cranky self. I said and who do you think I got it from. So after lying there for about 15 minutes he helped me up. It was painful and still is, just not nearly as bad.
Beaver your fall was way more serious than mine. My steps were not slippery as they had been shoveled but they were a little wet. Not enough to fall from it. I still think one foot moved and the other didn't and it felt like I was thrown on to the small sidewalk. I never in my life screamed as loud as I did that day to get my husbands attention. I only hurt in my hip area and that isn't much but the big black & blue mark is ugly. I lost my keys but didn't know it for two days and that was when the the mail delivery man found them on the sidewalk. They sat there for two days. I'm just greatful that I didn't break any bones.
Thank you to those who took a step forward to save the rest who stand still.

Stewart's first surgery on Aug. 6 in Iowa served as a preliminary procedure to stabilize and clean the Grade 2 injury. The second surgery on Aug. 8, by a specialist in North Carolina, involved inserting a metal rod inside the tibia, pressing it to its anatomic position

text: Okay. I have read and experienced this trend... "Your child is a bit on the small side" "We need to keep track of his/her weight." I want to know how this can be resolved. With LLL, WHO, UNICEF, can't someone tell these doctors something????!!!! I'm tired of feeling like I'm not being a good mom. I at least spend time with my ds, I don't dump him in some contraption so he can bottlefeed himself. This is so frustrating, then to hear so many other mothers are going through this drives me nuts. Someone please tell me what can be done about this big problem (breastfed baby weight). Do they need the WHO growth chart instead of the enfamil growth chart? What is it???????????

A catered meal by Flourish will be provided for a $10 registration fee. Guests should RSVP by Tuesday, Jan. 28.
The Eagle Ford Shale is quite possibly the largest single economic development in the history of the state of Texas and ranks as the largest oil and gas development in the world based on capital invested. Almost $30 billion was spent developing the play in 2013. The play had more than a $60 billion dollar impact on the local South Texas economy in 2012 and over 116,000 Eagle Ford jobs were supported in the 20 county area impacted by the play. Add the jobs created in surrounding counties and the picture of a modern oil boom begins to take shape.
From record drilling levels to wells producing over 4,000 b/d of oil initially, the play is redefining South Texas as an oil industry hotbed.
The Eagle Ford is a geological formation directly beneath the Austin Chalk. It is considered to be the "source rock," or the original source of hydrocarbons that are contained in the Austin Chalk above it. The formation was penetrated many times as operators targeted the Edwards Limestone formation along the Edwards Reef Trend.
The formation is best known for producing variable amounts of dry gas, wet gas, NGLs, condensate and oil. The most active area lies above the Edwards Reef Trend where the formation yields a gas-condensate production stream. Unlike many other shale plays, it does not exhibit natural fracturing within the formation.

Upper Level Course Offerings
New International Relations and Peace Studies Courses
POLS 345 - Theories of War and Peace (3) This course examines various political theories in terms of their relevance to the question of war and peace. Specifically, how does each theory define peace (negative or positive); what should be done to preserve and maintain peace; whether war is inevitable; and under what conditions is it legitimate to resort to war. The following "traditions" will be covered in the course: realism, liberalism, Marxism, globalization, feminism, post-colonialism, post-modernism, constructivism, international justice, green, globalization and human security.
POLS 352 - Paths to Peace (3) The first part of the course examines how economic, social, political, environmental and legal policies facilitate movement towards peace in a broad context. The emphasis will be to link policies that enable us to move towards a more just world. The second part of this course examines various approaches to peace from simple peacekeeping to peacebuilding.
POLS 353 - Human Rights, International Law and War and Peace (3) The first part of this course examines how we define human rights by examining the treaties that serve as the foundation of human rights such as the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights and the International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights. The section also examines the various institutions that have been created to monitor and enforce these treaties such as the UN Human Rights Council and the European Court of Human Rights. The second part of the course examines the text of various international treaties that relate to subjects such as war crimes, crimes against humanity, genocide, torture, gender discrimination, racial discrimination, and refugees. The course will conclude with an evaluation of the emerging institutional framework to better monitor and enforce these laws, most notably the International Criminal Court.
POLS 356 - Seminar in Peacebuilding (3) This course examines how to approach a conflict and develop a strategy to not only end war but also enable the parties to live together. The war in Bosnia will be used as a case study to examine the roots of the conflict, examine the peace process, and its aftermath. Students will critically examine each part of the process and identify alternatives that result in a more robust peace in the region. Students are encouraged to apply what they learn about peacebuilding in Bosnia to resolve other conflicts.
New American Government Courses
POLS 361 - Campaigns and Elections (3) In a representative democracy, active participation in elections is essential to ensure elected officials remain faithful to constituent interests. Does this ideal adequately reflect the nature of elections in the current political system? This course is designed to expose students to the contemporary state of Congressional and Presidential campaigns in the American political system with focus on campaign strategy, the role of the media and campaign finance. The course also investigates contemporary elections, examining who votes and why, and the mechanics of the electoral process.
POLS 374 - Women and Politics (3) In the United States, women hold 18% of the seats in the 112th Congress, marking the nation 85th in its level of representation for women. Globally, women constitute 15% of all members of parliament, although significant regional variation persists. How do gendered hierarchies continue to shape and structure political systems? Why have women not yet reached parity in elected office? Should women be represented as women? What difference do women bring to elective office? These and other questions are explored throughout the course, with particular attention to the historical exclusion of women from the public arena, the methods used by women to enter electoral and activist politics, and the current political status of women in the United States and globally. Cross-listed as WST 374.
POLS 420 - Biotechnology Policy and Ethics (3) Human reproductive cloning, genetic modification and alteration, personalized genomics, synthetic biology … these are only some of the areas of inquiry in the life sciences that have attracted public interest for their societal, ethical and policy implications. This course examines the political and ethical implications of selected areas of biotechnology that are now a part of the contemporary public debate with particular emphasis on the impact of these technologies on women. Some of the principles examined are legalistic, while others require ethical reasoning evaluating concepts such as human nature, personhood and autonomy. Key questions considered in this course include: Who benefits from these biotechnologies? Who are the primary actors engaged in policy creation? How can emerging technologies best be managed to balance individual freedom and scientific advancement with adequate protections for vulnerable classes? Finally, how do these technologies fit into our belief systems regarding the desirability of emerging biotechnologies in our individual lives and for society more generally?
New Political Theory Courses
POLS 372 - Power and Resistance (3) This course explores the politics of power and resistance. It introduces different concepts of modern and pre-modern power and control, and examines instances of resistance from around the world, traversing different time periods, geographies, and cultures. Examples range from peasant revolts to labor movements, feminist struggles to anti-war mobilizations, prisoner uprisings to popular wars. The course inquires into the social forces involved, what they seek to resist, the methods and goals of resistance, and the reception of this resistance by its purported audience. The course incorporates theoretical and historical texts as well as visual material and movies.
POLS 376 - Theories of Human Rights (3) This course examines the nature and origin of human rights, as well as the conflicts and debates that result from the different understandings of the concept. We will explore questions such as; Are human rights individual or collective? Are they universal or should instead be understood as culturally sensitive? Do they include positive rights or only negative right? And what about economic and social rights? Providing answers to these questions will allow us to understand our own political, economic, and social beliefs, as well as approaches that are different from ours. In order to answer these questions, the course will combine discussions about the concept of human rights with analyses of current cases of human rights violations around the world, including the origin of these violations, desired changes, policies, and effective actions.
POLS 381 - Theories of Justice (3) The course examines the different approaches to the concept of justice, in the attempt to help students develop their own critical thinking about the topic. The course overviews the leading contemporary conceptions and theories of justice - including utilitarian, libertarian, communitarian, deliberative-democratic, and feminist theories -, and focuses on the relationship between theories of justice and concepts of liberty and equality. The aim of this course is to examine the ways in which each of these different approaches to justice provides a different vision for the political, economic, and social life, and shapes different institutions and values.
POLS 397 - American Conservative Political Thought (3) The political debates between liberalism and conservatism are ardent. However, while these two terms are used freely and are attached to varied themes, their meaning is uncertain. Hence this class aims to introduce the students to the meaning of American conservatism. While defining conservatism, students will become familiar with the most relevant topics in the American Conservative Thought. The class introduces the political and philosophical heritage of conservatism, as well as examines themes that are relevant to contemporary American politics today. The focus will be on principles of conservatism, not on analyzing polices or proposals. Moreover, aiming to give a balanced view, a variety of perspectives that support and criticize American Conservatism will be presented.
POLS 456 - Feminist Theory and Action (3) Seminar course providing a deeper look at feminist thought, building on the introduction provided in GST 150. Through readings and films, examines conversations, controversies, and connections among a range of feminist thinkers. Students explore the intersections of feminist thought and action, reading a variety of calls to action and articulating their own. Cross-listed as POLS/GST 456.

Parents are seeking answers after a package containing condoms was mailed to their 8-year-old daughter.
The Angelides family of Staten Island, N.Y. says they received a package from Amazon addressed to their daughter Gianna. When they opened the package, there were two boxes of condoms inside, reports CBS New York.
When questioned about the package, Amazon told the family that it was not a mistake and that it was mailed to the correct address, but because of customer privacy, the company couldn't say who sent it.
The Angelides may pursue the matter further with the NYPD to get to the bottom of who sent the package.
"I'm very concerned if someone is watching her," Gianna's mother, Christine, told CBS New York.

"I was proud of the guys," said Falls City head coach Steve Marbach. "Give Runge credit, they had a good game plan and executed really well. In the first half, our kids tried to make plays outside of their responsibilities. At halftime, we cleaned things up."
The Beavers drew first blood in the contest as, 10:04 to go in the first quarter, Dean Gaskamp scored on the ground. Austen Camber ran in the two-point conversion to give the Beavers the early 8-0 lead. The Beavers got another score at the 3:19 mark of the first quarter as Joseph Swierc scored on a running play. Gaskamp threw to Camber for the two-point conversion to put the Beavers' lead at 16-0 after a quarter of play.
The Beavers' lone score of the second quarter came just 22 seconds into it as David Brodsky passed to Justin Twine for Falls City's lone passing touchdown of the game. Conner Jendrusch kicked the extra point to put the Beavers' lead at 23-0. The Yellow Jackets responded with 2:32 on the clock as Jeric Esparza punched it in, making Runge the only team in the district to score against Falls City's defense. Steven Salas ran in the two-point conversion to cut Falls City's lead to 23-8. After recovering the ensuing kickoff, the Yellow Jackets put six more points on the board as, with 36 seconds remaining in the first half, Esparza connected with Kevin Torres for the touchdown. The ensuing two-point conversion run failed, leaving the halftime score still in Falls City's favor at 23-14.
After the opening kickoff of the second half, there was a lengthy pause in the action as Falls City's Jacob Pruski was injured and had to be taken off the field by first responders present at the game.
"It was a dislocated ankle," said Marbach. "I suffered a similar injury five years ago. Hopefully he won't need surgery."
Both teams resumed play afterward.
The Beavers scored twice in the third and fourth quarters each. The first score of the third quarter came at the 4:53 mark as Twine scored on a lengthy running play. Jendrusch's PAT extended Falls City's lead to 30-14. The Beavers scored once more as time expired in the third quarter as Gaskamp ran it in. Jendrusch's extra point put the Beavers' lead at 37-14 going into the fourth quarter. The first score of the fourth quarter came at the 8:03 mark as Twine scored his second rushing touchdown of the contest. The extra point was no good, leaving the score at 43-14. The final touchdown of the game came with 37 seconds left to play as Zach Jimerson scored a rushing touchdown of his own, with Jendrusch's PAT putting the final tally at 50-14 in favor of Falls City.
"I felt like, early on, it took us a couple of series of offense to figure it out," said Runge head coach Matt Wright. "I was not happy with the way we tackled. All we can do is get better each week. When you give Falls City a chance to get after you, they will. Our kids didn't quit, but it kind of put us behind the eight ball."
Statistically, the Beavers gained 400 yards of total offense, with 314 yards rushing over 21 carries and 86 yards passing over three completions. The Beavers were penalized four times for 30 total yards.
Statistics for the Yellow Jackets were unavailable at press time.
"We can improve in some areas," said Wright.
This week, the Beavers will have a Bye in the Bi-District round of the playoffs. They will face the winner of the Charlotte-D'Hanis game in the Area round.
"One thing I have to do is find a site that D'Hanis or Charlotte will agree to," said Marbach. "There are some things we need to get better at this week. It's kind of an advantage and a disadvantage to play a team we have played before."
Information on Falls City's Area round matchup will be posted on www.mysoutex.com as it becomes available.
As for the Yellow Jackets, they will take on the Milano Eagles in the Bi-District round. The game will take place in Dripping Springs and Runge is the designated Visiting team for the contest.
"I've seen a little bit on Milano so far," said Wright. "Their offense revolves around their quarterback. He's able to make plays with his arms and his legs. We can't allow him to scramble and make big plays."
Kickoff in Dripping Springs is set for Friday, Nov. 15 at 7:30 p.m.

Third Grant Report: Structured Error Messages
Permanent link
Progress on my grant for error message is slower than expected, as expected :-). Yes, you've read that sentence before.
In the past months, general hacking on the nom branch of Rakudo was just too much fun -- and partially a prerequisite for the exceptions work.
I did manage to redo the backtraces that are generated from error messages.
Backtraces are now generated mostly in Perl 6 code, making them much more
hackable. There's a
Backtrace class, which is a list of
Backtrace::Frame objects, each knowing the code object associated
with it, as well as line number and file. (This is both specced and works in
Routines can have the
is hidden_from_backtrace trait, which
makes them not show up in the default backtrace stringification (one can still
request a
.full string representation). This is useful for
routines which are internally used to generate exceptions, like
Rakudo also has a
--ll-exceptions command line option which
provides PIR-level backtraces, in the rare case the Perl 6 level backtraces
hide too much information.
I've also started the
nom-exceptions branch in Rakudo, which
aims at lifting current limitations in Rakudo's exception handling. Currently
die() and friends generate a parrot exception, and then there's a
routine that fills the error variable
$!. This routine generates
a new
Exception object, and sticks the parrot exception into
This practice means that if you create a subclass of
Exception, instantiate it and throw it, you still only get an
Exception in the error handler, not an object of the subclass.
Since the actual exception type is very important for the ongoing work, that
has to change. The branch mentioned earlier allows one to generate a Perl 6
exception, and pass that on as the payload of the parrot exception, which is
then unwrapped when filling
As a proof of concept this works, but it suffers from not being robust
enough -- as it is, we could accidentally unwrap the payload of a
CONTROL exception, placing meaningless junk into
So this needs a bit more work, which I plan to do this week (or next, if it
proves to be more difficult than anticipated).
As always, your feedback is very welcome.

Osborne overrules UKFI on RBS pay
UK Chancellor George Osborne overruled UKFI in discussions over whether to allow Royal Bank of Scotland to pay its senior staff 200% bonuses, it has emerged.
The news will again raise questions about the independence of UK Financial Investments, the body set up in 2008 to manage the UK's stakes in bailed-out banks but which is said to sit at arm's length from government.
RBS said today that it would not table plans at this year's AGM to pay its senior bankers and traders up to 200% of their fixed pay after the UK government - an 81% shareholder - said it would vote against the move.
In a statement this morning, an HM Treasury spokesperson said "an increase to the bonus cap cannot be justified and the government made clear it would not have supported such a proposal".
However, this decision was at odds with UKFI, which told government in recent discussions that it thought RBS should have the option of paying its staff larger bonuses, according a person familiar with the talks.
The move from the UK Treasury puts the independence of UKFI in the spotlight. The body was created in 2008 as an autonomous organisation responsible for managing the government's shareholdings in UK banks.
Back in 2009, the Treasury Select Committee recommended that UKFI move out of the Treasury's offices to ensure independence. UKFI moved to offices near Charing Cross Rd a year later.
But UKFI returned to Whitehall in 2012 and in November last year Robin Budenberg, then outgoing executive chairman of UKFI, told MPs that he had limited proposed cuts to banker pay put forward by Osborne. In late 2012, Budenberg assured MPs that UKFI could run at "arm's length" from government interference.
The stance from the UKFI allies it with the RBS management. A statement from the RBS board this morning said: "The board believes the best commercial solution for RBS is to have the flexibility on variable to fixed pay ratios that is now emerging as the sector norm."
The chair of the Treasury Committee, Andrew Tyrie MP, said in a statement on Friday: "The Banking Commission concluded that UKFI would increasingly be perceived as a fig leaf to disguise direct Government control of RBS. Today's events appear to confirm this. It is difficult to argue that RBS is operating on an arms length, commercial basis, free from Government interference."

It is not wrong, just different. I hope he is right about us still having 5 years. Putting something together for the 40th anniversary dinner of the founding of the San Diego Gay Community Center gala dinner: "When I was young we used to say "The last man standing, wins!" Where's my prize? We were also told that with age comes wisdom. Let's try this: If you live long enough, then you grow old. What do you expect I have a SDSU degree in Philosophy. 75 years ago my maternal grandmother Gladys L. Graham went to work for MGM studios in Culver City [Los Angeles]. They were working on the film "The Wizard of Oz" staring Judy Garland. MGM was a Jewish owned studio and the issue came up what to do about Toilet needs for the actress playing the little women in the film. Should they pay carpenters at union wages to build adapters or assigned someone to stand outside and wait for a call for help if one of the small ladies should fall in. This became my grandmother's first job ever in her life, standing outside the women's restroom on stage 10 where the filming was going on. "Mrs. Graham, Mrs. Graham" would sound the little voices of those in need of assistance. When she retired from the studio some 30 years later they held a dinner in her honour. "Speech, speech" up went the cry. She stood to say a few words of reflection on the occasion. As had become they established custom of MGM starlets she started by saying: "First I would like to thank all the little people who helped to make this moment possible" and from those knowing the story there came much laughter and hooting. When we dropped the two A-bombs on the Japanese port cities at the end of the Pacific War in August 1945 we found that over twice as many people died from having their white blood cell immune systems being wiped out by the Gamma radiation from those two blasts than from the blast themselves. America being 95% urban, that is people who dwell in cities, we had a great need for a reason to develop the needed BioTech industries we now have today. Biotech industries do not fall out of the thin air from the skies. The means for that development was released in Jan. 1978. If soon there is a moonless night and you should be lucky enough to have survived an >Atomic event< and you are given drugs to keep you alive and restore your immune system, then it behooves you to also thank all the little people who made that moment possible; Ron Cearns, Prof. Karl Keller, Dr. A. Brad Truax, H. Tom Marston, Robert Jessop, Garry Rees, Fr. Larry Riveroll, Prof. Harriette Shapiro, and so very many more who actually gave their lives to make that moment for you. Realize and remember to thank them all. Remember all those who have had to suffer so very much to provide for your well being." It really does not matter what you say to them, few will be able to understand and appreciate the depths of the meaning. It has always been so. gary107 posted:10/19/2013 9:15:42 AM / ...as had become the...LincolnGenghis posted:10/19/2013 7:39:40 PM Gary last year he asked for one year.

Crowley had nothing to do with writing that book. That book the Necronomican was a work of fiction by H. P. Lovecraft one of the most influential Horror/ Scify writers of all time. Literary wise it was probably the worst exercise in writing he had ever done. It was created by him as a prop, an experiment and a work of mythical art that tied togather some of his other writings.

I'm not sure if this is the right place to be asking this... but I see a lot of green poo questions here.
My lo will be 20 weeks old tomorrow. She is EBF and she does several (5-7?) wet nappies a day, and 2-3 dirty ones daily. Here's a run down of what I notice.
- her poop is green and seedy. Similar consistency of when it used to be the "classic" mustard and seedy, just green.
- not exceptionally smelly, though my dh would disagree but I honestly don't find it that smelly at all.
- I only pump occasionally so that she will accept a bottle on the rare times that I cannot feed her myself. When I do express milk and it's had a chance to chill there doesn't seem to be much fat in it - it's quite watery and thin, but I'm able to express 4-5 oz easily in a few minutes
- Her weight gain has been great and she has moved up a centile in the last couple of weeks and the health visitor is pleased with how she's coming along. Her weight and growth has never been a concern.
- DD is quite settled, sleeps extremely well during the night and is a very happy, chilled out, relaxed baby.
- When she does have a movement she does not cry and does not suffer with gas/wind.
- DD will go at least two hours between feeds during the day until late afternoon (4:30 ish) and then seems to cluster feed until she goes to bed at around 7:00 ish
- I feed on demand and she is almost always satisfied with feeding from only one breast, though I do offer the other one if she wants it.
- I drink a lot of milk myself and eat yogurt often.
When I asked my health visitor about the green poo, she took into consideration dd's weight gain progress, how settled she is, etc and said that she wasn't too worried about it, and it just may be how dd goes.
Would you agree with this, or is there something that I should be doing to get it back to the yellow mustard like colour and away from the green? Should I be more concerned about the green poo? Is it possible that she's getting an imbalance of foremilk / hindmilk but is continuing to gain weight despite this? Would block feeding help this?
Sorry this became so long. I tried to make it as straight forward as possible. At the heart of the matter I guess I'm asking if I should be concerned about green poo despite the fact that my lo is otherwise perfectly fine?

The Lady Trojans scored their lone run in the top of the fourth as Andrea Briseno powered a shot over the fence for a home run and a 1-0 Beeville lead.
The Ladycats answered right back with a three-run rally in the home half of that same inning to grab the lead away for the Beeville girls.
A single run in the fifth by Calallen concluded the scoring as both pitchers kept the bats quiet the rest of the way.
Calallen won the well-played contest 4-1.
"We played well on defense, but did not hit well with runners in scoring position," said Lady Trojan head coach Jose Flores.
The Lady Trojans committed one error over the seven innings of play on Tuesday night.
The Beeville girls finished with six hits on the night.
Rebecca De Los Santos went 2-3 with a walk to reach base three times in the game as the Lady Trojan Leadoff hitter. Taylor Castillo was 2-4 in the game. Briseno had the big round-tripper for her one hit in three plate appearances. Lynn Puente went 1-2 on the night for the Lady Trojans.
Theresa Amador went the distance in the circle for the Beeville girls, walking six, striking out five Calallen hitters, allowing nine base hits and three earned runs.
The Calallen pitcher struck out 13 Lady Trojans over the seven inning contest and gave up just three walks.
The Beeville girls finished their season on Friday night when they played host to the Tuloso-Midway Cherokees.

At the same time gasoline prices are soaring, the cost of electricity is falling. The reason? Cheap and plentiful natural gas. A utility in Massachusetts has just sliced rates by 34 percent. Coming out of a recession, the lower electricity prices are quietly boosting the economy and providing some welcome savings to businesses and families.

The Great John Wooden: 1910-2010
2 Comments
I found out while at Dodger Stadium when Vin Scully came on the Diamondvision to announce it and pay tribute to coach. Coach was a wonderful man that has left us so much. He is now reunited with his beloved sweetheart Nellie. For the last oh..25 years he has written her a letter on the 21st of each month. What a man John Wooden was! rest in peace Coach!
I remember being taught the Pyramid of Success in 5th or 6th grade, and it had a pretty big impact on an 11 year old. John Wooden was a great man, and I never even saw him coach basketball. his influence changed the world with ideas and philosophies that everyone should heed. Just an amazing life and an amazing person…

The Drought Continues
The Phillies have not been shut-out in three consecutive games since 1983…until now. 4 of their last 5 games were shut-outs. In those 5 games, the Phillies have scored in just 1 inning of those last 45 innings played. That is a 5-game, 44 inning drought, which translates to 132 outs recorded without scoring. And just for fun, I counted the pitches in all 44 of those innings; 664 pitches without scoring a run!
Counting up those stats has been the most fun I have had all week as a Phillies fan. Because the rest of the week has sucked, big time. Getting swept by the Mets in a 3-game series; watching good pitching go to waste; screaming at the TV in a vain attempt to get Phillies batters to stop swinging at junk pitches; and then of course, those lovely stats I listed above. I have not seen this team play baseball this bad in years.
Charlie Manuel held a team meeting after the 0-3 loss last night telling the team, "Sometimes you eat the bear, sometimes the bear eats you." Really? Because if a bear tried to eat me, I would totally kick his furry a*ss. What this team needs is to have a fire lit under them. Much like the bonfire into which they have apparently tossed their bats. But tough love is not in Manuel's manual.
We used to have players, like Aaron Rowand, who were good at handling their teammates. He had no problem calling out players who were slacking. There are leaders on this team too, but none of them as vocal. Someone needs to step up and give these guys a swift kick in the rear.
Not that they are not trying; no one want to play 44 scoreless innings. But the urgency and energy are gone. They look half-asleep out there. And the pitchers, who have put forth good efforts, are starting to get frustrated.
Cole Hamels had a good game last night, allowing 2 earned runs over 6 1/3 innings. The bullpen, which had not been good to start the year, has come around and they are holding games down pretty well.
But the offense is not holing up their end. Chase Utley is 1 for list last 13 at-bats; Ryan Howard is 2 for 18; Jayson Werth is 3 for 18 – shaving his beard off did not help. And in last night's game, the Phillies hit into a double play to end an inning 3 straight times. They are not helping themselves out at all.
The team will be in Miami today to start a 3-game series with the Marlins. If they do not snap out of this funk tonight, they will likey be saying goodbye to 1st place in the NL East very soon. Game time is 7:10pm.

As frustrating as it is for us watching the games, I imagine it has to be even more frustrating for the players getting shut out three straight games. You have to wonder if there was something to that whole sign-stealing accusation – they certainly haven't done too well since then.

It's been reported that Detroit is not the Eastern Conference big dog that has made an offer. They're interested, but haven't made an offer yet. I wonder which team it is? Cleveland, maybe? It wouldn't be Philly, Chicago, Boston, Toronto, or Orlando.By Sekou K Smith | Saturday, July 26, 2008, 10:11 AM
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
There are at least two, blockbuster sign-and-trade proposals the Hawks are chewing on regarding Smith (one from a Western Conference power and the other from an Eastern Conference big dog) that could dramatically change the landscape in Hawksville.
Atlanta management is so cheap. They have the makings of a great young team, but will let it slip away because they are too cheap.
I wonder if Donnie is thinking of a sign-and-trade offer. David Lee plus some others to make it work?
Josh Smith would fit nicely in D'Antnoi's sytem. Chandler at SF and Smith at PF would be impressive.

Next, get Sean Williams at center, and the Knicks would be athletic, would run the floor well and would be great defensively. High flying dunks and blocking shots!
It's a pipe dream, I know, but nice to dream about anyway.
PG-Ricky Rubio
PF-Josh Smith
C-Sean Williams
That's the kind of team that could finally bring a championship to New York.

Atlanta has to be stupid to let Smith go like this.
They're such an awful franchise.
Hopefully they let Horford go to, and we pick him up.
Do we still have next year's draft pick?
This just in...Memphis makes an offer for Josh Smith...
If Atlanta lets Josh Smith go, they're the dumbest franshise around. Even dumber than the Knicks.The Memphis Grizzlies have signed restricted Atlanta free agent Josh Smith to a $58 million offer sheet, the Memphis Commercial-Appeal is reporting.
The Hawks now have seven days to match or let Smith walk, but have said in the past they'll match any offer the high flyer may get from rival teams.
Wow. Memphis would have a nice young squad to build on.
PG-Mike Conley
SG-O.J. Mayo
SF-Rudy Gay
PF-Josh Smith
Add a decent center and some veteran leadership off the bench, and they have a damn good team.
They need shooters. Everyone on that team is just an athletic slahser type accpet for maybe mayo who can do both.
If the Grizzlies get Smith it'll be a huge turn around, plus their gonna be fast as hell on the court...looks like Mike D needs to match that with hsi run n gun lol.

On Monday I put the Atlanta Hawks and the Memphis Grizzlies on the list of NBA offseason losers. The Hawks had already mishandled restricted free agent Josh Childress -- losing him to a huge offer from a team from Greece. And it appeared that they were in a no-win situation with free agent Josh Smith. Smith was desperately trying to get out of Atlanta and the Hawks weren't budging from a lowball offer of $45 million over five years.
On Friday, the Hawks got some semblance of redemption. The Grizzlies signed Smith to a five-year, $58 million offer sheet and the Hawks quickly matched the contract, ensuring Smith's return.
It was a smart move by the Hawks. Many teams would've waited the full seven days before deciding to match the offer. The Hawks' decision to immediately match sent a strong signal to Smith that they wanted him and wanted the healing to begin. Whether Smith feels the same way remains to be seen. Sources said that Smith was hoping to change uniforms this season. Smith's gripes have been with coach Mike Woodson and the Hawks' front office. But the group on the court this season isn't too shabby.
While not as strong as the playoff team that took the Celtics to seven games, they certainly averted disaster. Smith might be the most talented player on the roster. He's moody, inconsistent and can be a pain in the butt in the locker room. But he oozes potential and at times the past few years, he's capitalized on it. His 19.08 player efficiency rating (PER) last season ranked him among the top 40 players in the league -- and ahead of Andre Iguodala, Monta Ellis, Luol Deng and Emeka Okafor.
The Hawks still have a ridiculously young and talented front line of Smith, Al Horford and Marvin Williams. And they still sport a talented veteran backcourt with Joe Johnson and Mike Bibby. With a year of playoff experience under their belt, they should be a favorite to make a repeat postseason appearance this season.
In fact, it's fair to assume that Smith, Williams and Horford are still getting better, and all three could up their numbers from last season. That's sure to give the Hawks a significant extra boost.
The question now is about depth. Losing Childress hurt. Despite his sixth-man status, he was the glue that kept the team together. He didn't need the ball to be effective on the floor and was mature beyond his years. On many good teams in the NBA, he was a surefire starter. Now he's replaced by Maurice Evans, a 28-year-old journeyman who is coming off the best season of his career.
The Hawks also have center Zaza Pachulia, the injury-plagued Speedy Claxton and second-year point guard Acie Law. But all of those reserves combined, will struggle to deliver what Childress did.
As for the Grizzlies, on the surface, their decision to make Smith a big offer looks encouraging. I've been critical of owner Michael Heisley's unwillingness to spend money on the team. Everything they've done since January reeks of a team trying to cut costs -- at whatever cost.
For weeks the Grizzlies failed to make an offer to the likes of Smith or Iguodala despite being the only team with significant cap room. Their five-year, $58 million offer sheet to Smith has all the appearances of a savvy team taking advantage of a buyers' market and taking a shot at a young player who could be an All-Star someday at a position that they really need help with.
Look a little deeper and things aren't as clear. A source in Memphis told me on Friday that the team "already knew" that the Hawks were going to match the offer. The source held out little hope that Smith would actually wear a Grizzlies uniform. Why would the Grizzlies make an offer to a player that they knew they wouldn't get? According to one GM, it's all about appearances. "If you're getting criticized for being cheap and doing nothing this at least counts for something. Now Mike Heisley and [GM] Chris [Wallace] can beat back skeptics who question your commitment to the long-term health of the team. It happens all the time."
I'm not sure I'm willing to go that far. Smith would've been a great fit in Memphis. With Smith on board, I think you could've put the Grizzlies in the mix with the Blazers as one of the best young teams in the league. With Rudy Gay, O.J. Mayo and Mike Conley already on board, Smith would've been a great fit on an up-tempo, run-and-gun team. You have to believe that Heisley and Wallace honestly hoped the Hawks wouldn't match.
Now that Smith is a Hawk again, it will be interesting to see what the Grizzlies do next. They could make a similar offer for Iguodala, but he doesn't fit a need. Ditto for Ben Gordon.
If the Grizzlies really are trying to improve their team, what they really need desperately is some veteran help on the front line. Currently their front line has a still-disappointing Darko Milicic, Hakim Warrick and two rookies, Marc Gasol and Darrell Arthur.
Both Gasol and Arthur have a chance. Gasol was the MVP of the Spanish league this past season. He's very skilled, but there are serious questions about how his athleticism and game will translate at the NBA level. Arthur should've been a late lottery pick, but questions about his health caused his stock to plummet on draft night. And you can always hope that maybe this is the season Milicic finally uses his talent on a night-to-night basis.
The team could also try to play the trade market using their cap space and their glut of point guards as bait. They could go for a player with an expiring contract like Shawn Marion, Lamar Odom or Chris Wilcox. Or if they really wanted to roll the dice on a talented, but troubled player, I'm sure the Knicks would give them Zach Randolph.
The plan had presumably been to save their cap room and wait until the summer of 2009 when the free-agent class is a little stronger. That's still a possibility. If they go that route, this season's Grizzlies could contend for the worst record in the league. However a top pick in the 2009 NBA draft along with lots of cap room next year could turn into a bonanza if the team can lure a top free agent next year.

Sounding the Alarm
As though any further proof was needed that we live in a crazy, mixed-up world, I submit the following:
Miguel Cabrera has an alcohol problem but says he feels like a new man after a stint in rehab.
Kyle Farnsworth has somehow avoided resorting to alcoholism and even has a legitimate shot at becoming a starting pitcher.
I don't mean to sound the alarm too early but if these two events taken together aren't a sign of the apocalypse, I'm not sure what is. Baseball: Drama as compelling off the field as on.

As a White Sox fan, I would love to see nothing more, then my favorite relief pitcher of all time have to go 6 or 7 innings in a Royals uniform. Oh how sweet it might be!!
Kyle Farnsworth is a Freddie Kruger surprise party in a baseball uniform.
Too bad Cabrera got hooked on drugs. He was and still is a good player, and if he could stop his off the field antics, it would make him that much better. Hope the rehab has made him a better guy.
Someone in my department just came back to work in crutches after being off for four days. He got hit by a drunk driver on Valentines Day. He is lucky to be alive.
I hope Miguel straighten his act

Weekend Wrap-Up
Hi everyone. Â I'm going to keep it short today as I have quite a bit on my plate. Â Here's a few pages on facebook I discovered recently which made me happy.
By now you've heard of the young woman who was struck by a car as she was biking on Cooper Street this weekend. Â I don't have any information beyond what is in the linked article; if any of you have any information about her status, feel free to leave it in the comments. Â Here's hoping she has a speedy recovery and that the driver who hit her is brought to justice.
This guy is awesome. Â I mean, he would complete pwn the next Tweed Ride.
We now have bike lanes on Chelsea Avenue! Â I was going to ride them this weekend but was busy doing other things. Â I'd love to hear about them in the comments.
Lastly, I missed this year's Tour de Bird, mostly due to bad planning. Â I did see a few of the riders as I was heading home from downtown. Â It looked like a good crowd. Â You can read more about it here.
I got a comment/question on my "About" page from a reader who wants to bike from Memphis to New Orleans (hell yeah!) and is looking for more information about how to do that. Â (Scroll to the bottom to his his comment – his name is Ryan.) Â I really don't have any information about how to do that, as cool as it sounds – please help out a fellow cyclist in the comments.
Alright Memphis, time to earn some $$$. Â Have a good week.
