What is in this article?:
- Locally grown foods continue to grow in popularity
- Marketed directly to consumers
- Retailers, restaurants, and institutions
- Direct-to-consumer sales vital
- Local foods are a growing but small component of U.S. agriculture.
- Local foods typically refers to foods produced near their point of consumption, but there is no consensus as to what distances constitute local.
- Other characteristics are also used to define local foods, including production methods, types of producers, and whether the foods are sold directly to consumers or to food distributors.
In the early 1900s, nearly 40 percent of Americans lived on farms, and most food was locally grown and marketed. Food processing amounted to canning, dehydrating, salting, or smoking, and few foods traveled more than a day to market. Consumption was dictated by local seasonality. Following World War II, transportation costs dropped and improvements in refrigeration allowed perishable items such as meats and produce to be shipped across the globe affordably.
In the late 1960s, a desire to eat locally was aligned with a budding environmental movement. A more recent renewal of that aspiration has gained momentum. As interest and demand for local foods grow, so do questions about what constitutes "local" foods, what characterizes local food markets, and what the impact of local food is on economic development, health, and environ-mental quality.
Local food defined by travel, although distances vary
"Local foods" is often thought of as a geographic concept, referring to the distance from production to consumption. The New Oxford American Dictionary defines its 2007 word of the year, "locavore," as a person who tries to eat only food grown or produced within a 100-mile radius. However, there is little consensus that 100 miles equates to local.
Several food retail companies have adopted their own local food definitions. Wal-Mart, for example, defines local food as that produced within a State's borders. Dorothy Lane Market—a small independent supermarket with three gourmet stores in Dayton, OH—considers foods grown or raised within a 250-mile radius of Dayton as local. According to Whole Foods, a "natural" and organic food retailer, products must travel less than a day (7 or fewer hours by car or truck) from farm to store to be designated as local. However, most Whole Foods' stores have established even shorter maximum distances.
Federal and some State policymakers also have their own definitions. According to the definition adopted by the U.S. Congress in the 2008 Food, Conservation, and Energy Act, "locally or regionally produced agricultural food product" can only travel less than 400 miles from its origin, or within the State in which it is produced. Vermont law requires that "local" items originate within 30 miles of the point of sale.
Distances perceived to constitute local may also vary by region. Population density is important because what is considered local in a sparsely populated area may be quite different in more heavily populated regions. For example, people accustomed to driving great distances for specialized services or goods may regard a day's drive as local, whereas the same distance is unlikely to be regarded as "local" by a resident of a large city.
Local food definitions may even vary within the same region. In 2009, four farmers' markets located in central Virginia defined "local" as goods grown or produced within a 100-mile radius and in Virginia. Two other central Virginia farmers' markets required food to be grown within a 75-mile radius, and one required food to be grown within the county.
What do consumers look for in local foods?
In addition to geographic proximity, consumers ascribe other characteristics to local foods. Consumers in a national study by the Food Marketing Institute in 2009 cited freshness (82 percent), support for the local economy (75 percent), and knowing the source of the product (58 percent) as reasons for buying local food. Important features of local food marketing channels are that production and distribution occur in a specific region, and consumers are informed about the local nature of products, for example, through personal communication.
Several studies have identified consumer perceptions of local food, including that local produce is fresher looking and tasting, of higher quality, and a better value for the price. Some consumers associate local foods with environmentally sustainable production methods, such as limited use of chemicals, energy-based fertilizers, and pesticides. Consumers also may extend local food production methods to include fair farm labor practices and animal welfare. In some consumers' minds, local foods are synonymous with small farms that are committed to the local community through social and economic relationships.
Surveys to elicit consumer attitudes about local foods suggest that consumers may be willing to pay a premium for in-State products, from 9 percent for a specialty food product in New England (maple syrup, salsa, cookies, etc.) and Colorado potatoes, to 50 percent for fresh Florida-grown produce. Consumers with higher willingness to pay a premium for local food also tend to place greater importance on quality, nutrition, the environment, and helping farmers in their State.

Hello Mommies!
I've been trying to post here for days, but everytime I get started my LO wakes up! Anyway, I guess I should introduce myself. I'm Cindy a 41 year old mom of 2. My daughter Krystina is 13 and my LO, Izabella is 4 weeks old! Seems as though being a mommy to a newborn is alot more difficult in my 40's then it was in my 20's... LOL!
Our story - DH and I were married in August and pregnant by October... Surprise! I didn't think it was possible as with all my other pregnancies I had to take clomid to conceive. With my past history of incompetent cervix, they put a cerclage in January 11th. When I went for my usual appt on April 6th they had me admitted because there was no cervix left and the only thing holding her in was the stitch. Unfortunately the hospital was 52 miles from home so I didn't get to see much of my family... except DH because he would come down every day. May 16th my water broke, however I was able to hang on for an additional 8 days and my LO was born on May 24th, my birthday at 33weeks 2days. 3lbs. 11oz & 19in long! She had a 23 day NICU stay, which was thankfully uneventful. She had to be tube fed/bottle fed for the first couple of weeks and then we attempted nursing. It just amazed me how well she did nursing. When she would bottle feed she would get overwhelmed, have bradychardia issues... and desaturate. With nursing, NO issues whatsoever. I shouldn't be surprised though We weren't able to nurse much more than one feeding a day while in the hospital so I knew I was in for a difficult transition at home. HOWEVER, I am proud to say that in the last 4 days she has only had 2 bottles and it was only because *I* was exhausted... had nothing to do with her. I personally think she's having a growth spurt or something because all she wanted to do last night was nurse and would cry whenever I would put her in the bassinet. We do have a couple issues that I would like to talk to the experts (you guys) about.
When we start breastfeeding, I notice she's very impatient. Will often latch, suck twice, release and cry. This can go on for several minutes and then all of a sudden, she's latched, sucking and content. What's going on here?
I also notice that sometimes she latches on... will suck twice and zonk! right to sleep! Waking her is extremely difficult. Any ideas on this?
Iron - Is it normal protocol for doctors to give this to newborns? They started her on this in the NICU, but my pediatrician almost made it seem like she doesn't normally prescribe it.
The visiting nurse was here on Saturday and seemed really concerned that she hadn't had a BM in 5 days. Is this an issue? It was concerning me as well. Could it be from the iron she is taking? I sure know what it does to me! I had stopped her iron last thursday and she had a huge BM on Saturday night and a normal one this morning.
Well, I guess that is all for now. Thanks!

Night 7 — On the Sorrow of Not Knowing ArabicThursday, January 29th, 2009 by Michael Novinson '10
The opportunities I've had to practice Arabic over the past two days have left me feeling dissapointed with myself. Unlike my first couple of days, when my time was occupied with tourist activities (visiting the pyramids, Bedouin Night, and a Nile Cruise), more recent days have brought more opportunities to interact with Egyptians.
On Tuesday, I walked with a friend through Downtown and Islamic Cairo from Tahrir Square (the city center) to Khan el Khalili, Cairo's oldest bazaar, and spent several hours eating and window shopping with friends in Khan. On Wednesday, I walked around Zamalek and to the El Sawa Cultural Wheel to hear a poetry reading.
This experience produced my first feelings of embarassment and shame for studying in Egypt with virtually no knowledge of Arabic. (more…)

With 17 lower limb surgeons offering weekly private operating lists at Spire Cardiff Hospital, waiting lists for hip surgery are virtually non-existent. This commonly performed orthopaedic procedure is tailored to the individual. The hip replacement implant itself is an artificial version of the natural ball and socket joint - there are a range of materials and sizes available and your surgeon will choose the right combination depending upon your age, lifestyle and future plans.
Visit our Orthopaedic Centre of Excellence website for further information on our highly qualified hip surgeons.
What is hip replacement surgery?
Hip replacement surgery is an operation to replace a damaged or worn hip joint with an artificial version. It is regarded as a long term solution for joint pain and immobility and is often the most effective treatment.
Why do hips need replacing?
The hip is a "ball and socket" joint which is susceptible to wear and damage. This can be caused by various forms of arthritis (most commonly osteoarthritis), bone diseases, bone abnormalities, and injury.
Why do people choose hip replacement surgery?
Due to the nature of the hip joint, damage and wear will not improve over time but will usually deteriorate. A hip replacement operation to alleviate pain and increase joint movement may therefore be the best treatment option. However, the decision to have the procedure is solely yours.
A hip replacement operation may be worthwhile for you if:
Benefits of hip replacement surgery
The most common benefits that patients report after the operation are:
What happens in a hip replacement operation?
In the hip joint, the ball is formed by the top of the thigh bone (femur), whilst the socket is part of the pelvis. In the operation, your surgeon will remove the top part of the thigh bone, replacing it with a ball on a stem, which is inserted into the centre of the thigh bone. A plastic or metal cup will often be used to replace the socket.
Some patients choose to receive a general anaesthetic before the operation, so that they are asleep for the duration of the procedure. A hip replacement can also sometimes be performed under regional anaesthetic. The operation usually lasts two hours.
Hip replacement aftercare
After surgery, you will be required to stay in hospital for two to five nights. Your hip is likely to be sore for several weeks; however this should ease as the area heals. Hip replacement surgery is considered a generally safe surgical procedure, which, for most, has benefits that outweigh the risks. Your surgeon will explain any risks of a hip replacement and how they apply to you.
Is hip replacement surgery available on the NHS?
Hip replacements are currently being restricted by the NHS in some areas of the UK and waiting lists are becoming significantly longer. People with the most advanced symptoms of hip pain and immobility are being prioritised. For these reasons many people opt for private treatment.
Why should I consider having a hip replacement operation at a Spire hospital?
Whether you have medical insurance or are paying for your treatment yourself, with Spire Healthcare you will be seen quickly by the consultant-grade surgeon of your choice at a time that suits you. You will be treated in a premium private hospital with some of the UK's highest standards of cleanliness and infection control. What's more, you'll be able to recuperate in your own private room with friends and family able to visit when you wish.

text: Paranormal Unity.... Why it can work..... 12>Chuck TIPP Founder posted:4/9/2012 11:31:49 AM I want to address why i think Paranormal Unity can work and how it can change the face of paranormal research. First of all i ever hear is that it will never happen the field will never unite.There is so much bashing of teams from one team to the next in the field and so much ego that most will never have faith in unity.But i ask you this how can this be viewed as a legit science if we cant even get along with each other.There is no team no investigator any better then the team there bashing.What is your (theory) based investigation at a higher level then the next teams? I would say no its all theory based some teams may get better results then the next team by doing things a little different and here's where the unity idea can help the science of paranormal research.Now if one teams investigation tactics bring better results and sense we are all looking for one thing the truth.Then why not share what your doing with other teams? Does it really matter who is the best or who does the best investigation? Once again i would say no....What matters in the field of Paranormal research is finding what we seek and helping others.And that takes me to my next point so many teams clam to be client based and claim that helping the client is number one.Working together as a unit in the field can help even more client by sharing ideas and tactics.This field is not about who gets more TV air time TV ratings oR who gets the best radio show or Who signs the most photos of them selves.Its about learning ,teaching,helping and finding what each person is searching for. Networking teams There are so many teams ,investigators, and researchers in this field if we were to unit and create a web all over the world just think what that could do for those who need our help.Say theres a team in New York that is contacted by a client thats need help ASAP but your case load is so large you can not get to them as soon as you would like.a NETWORK of teams can solve this for you and get help to those who need it by just emailing, calling, texting the closes team to the client.This is great way to expanded the ability to reach more who need us those who need what we do when everything else has failed. Progressing the science and technology We have so many great minds in this field by unity we can pull more of those great minds together and advance the investigation tactics advance the technology of equipment do better document possible activity .There is a saying that we all know and i truely believe it in my heart... ONE MIND CAN DO GREAT THINGS BUT MANY MINDS CAN MOVE MOUNTAINS Changing how others see the field of Paranormal Research By uniting we can show that we are an organized science and not just a bunch of people that run around in the dark chasing strange noises for thrills.By uniting we can show that we are serious researchers and investigators.And we deserve the same respect as any other science. These are just a few of my thoughts i would like to see this field make a statement that we are professionals.Stand up and support Paranormal Unity progress the science create a new ERA in the field. Chuck Founder of The International Paranormal Projectstevensue posted:4/9/2012 1:37:40 PM Hi there I totally agree with your post above, and by doing so I run an Internet based community here in the UK, trying to unite the Paranormal World. Unfortunately, over the years the subject of the Paranormal World has become a competition. But it is big enough for everyone, despite what people may think. No matter what country you are in, we all are looking for the same results, so why can't everyone help each other? And at this community, we do just that. Originally established in 2007, the KTPF is a dedicated on-going Community, not just for when your experiencing animosity from others. We welcome every Paranormal Investigator and Enthusiast alike, including Hobbyists, Scientists and Psychic Mediums from around the globe, to join in as we cover this vast fascinating subject. We have also started a new paranormal talk show running along side our website, to help encourage those within the Paranormal to join in and share information, advice and most importantly - FRIENDSHIP I am passionate about this and hope I can help in some small way. Remember - Collaboration Not Competition Take care and enjoy all of life's adventures.

I never understood the fighting. Everyones in for the same , no prize.LincolnGenghis posted:4/9/2012 8:28:40 PM Well its a noble Idea chuck. From the sounds of it though and from going over to the website it looks more like the beginnings of some kind of trade group. In my field I have been involved in different trade groups over the years and they all start out as great ideas and work well in the beginning. what usually happens with allot of them is they get very top heavy and start charging unreasonable membership dues on people to be a part of the organization and eventually they set themselves up as almost a regulatory kind of body for a particular field. At that point the money really starts rolling in for them, they start making huge amounts of money and basically loose touch with what they were started for in the first place. Even though they list themselves as nonprofit organizations the money goes to all the overpaid full time salaries of the people running the whole thing. And by that point they really don't do anything at all for the members outside of collecting dues for letting them say they are part of organization. I like your thoughts on the matter though if it is indeed for the right reasons you have outlined. Good luck with the whole thing, hopefully it will stick with the ideals that you have discussed. Chuck TIPP Founder posted:4/9/2012 10:41:46 PM We are not a trade group period what you see when you go to the site is my dream.I have never in my 15 years as an investigator every once asked for payment.We are a true unity site working to better the field of paranormal research.No price will ever be charged for membership of my site or organization period.Money is not important for me.My passion is the paranormal please take the time to find my profile on the site same name has here and read a little about my story.I would think you would before making remarks like you have you would have researched us first and then given your opinion.LincolnGenghis posted:4/10/2012 12:07:11 AM wow. I was not trying to accuse you of actually currently being a trade group. I actually said I liked your thoughts on the matter. I was over at the site already and was digging around there in the member lists and happened to see some people listed as director, assistant director, a director of marketing and saw various chapters. It just reminded me of a trade group start up structure and that's all I really meant. Most of them started out free also. Hopefully it stays the way you want it to. If there is never going to be membership fee and it never turns into a controlling organization then that is great. I'm All for it. (Hopefully you can understand how I could get the initial impression I did) If I could come away with an initial thought like that after digging around the site and reading the post, I am sure allot of other potential members could come away with the same misunderstanding that I seem to have had. Sorry. Levinus posted:4/10/2012 7:16:38 AM "By uniting we can show that we are serious researchers and investigators.And we deserve the same respect as any other science." Believe me, nothing would make me happier than to see the scientific community embrace the paranormal and study it. I'll be honest though, there is big difference between hobbyists and scientists. Instead of investigating a single house for a week, you would have to camp out there for years, recording every little damn thing. Data is your best tool. Unfortunately, in the paranormal, data just doesn't happen. The events are sporadic, unpredictable, and can never be duplicated. And without data, it can't be a science. It just can't. I'm telling you from personal experience, if you want it to be legitimately studied and respected, you'll need to collect data...lots and lots of it. Names, dates, times, weather conditions, moon phases, traffic conditions, people's health...on and on of every single event. Store it in a log, find a constant, test the constant, form a hypothesis, modify the constant, etc etc... You'll need someone who is actually trained in the scientific method to add validity to the group and has the time to devote to it. Personally, I have no time.Chuck TIPP Founder posted:4/10/2012 10:43:08 AM LincolnGenghis im sorry if i took it the wrong way please forgive me.We have chapters all over the world the directors are running those chapters.I believe for any organization needs structure to be successful.I agree Levinus long term investigations are very important.spooky1 posted:4/10/2012 3:49:47 PM I think the whole idea is great!

As a small child i saw and heard things that were not normal and couldnt be explained away.My parents had me put on meds thinking it was all in my head and even took me to our church to have me prayed over to stop these things.But it didnt change a thing.My grand mother finnaly set me down and and told me that there were things in this world that could not be explained away so easly and told me about the spirit world..I was 14 and that is when i began to research the paranormal at 18 i began to investigate and have been every sense im 32 now and am still searching.I am firm believer but take a skeptics approach to every investigation.I have a dream that one day the paranormal feild can come together and unite as one to reach our common goals of finding the truth..I beleive this is the only way we can progress the science of paranormal research.But first EGOS must be put aside.This is my dream and this is why The International Paranormal Project was created T.I.P.P is a place were all areas of the Paranormal field can come together and work in unity to progress the science of paranormal research.And through this we can reach our common goals..The Truth is out there lets find it...You will not be attacked for what you believe.We must work together... One mind can do great things but many minds can move mountains...We must respect everyone in the field who have earned it as well as those who have passed on to where ever it is we go when our time is done here.I truly believe that once we began to work together we can take the Paranormal Field to the next level and learn more then we ever imagined....

Investigations and research could mean anything. If there is supposed to be unity, there should also be uniform data requirements, data gathering, data reporting. Most investigators who go into haunted homes record things such as emf fluctuations, weird sensations, nausea, goosebumps, evps, orb photos, human shaped temperature spikes that cannot be repeated--but is any of this stuff useful or repeatable? Not really. There are uniform UFO reports being submitted frequently, but the most anyone really seems to have done with that data is to make nice google map overlays. So I'm at a loss to understand what could be accomplished. In the past, organizations such as the Royal Society have done research into the paranormal, and in all honesty, although their reports are 130 years old, it's more useful than the data being gathered now. At least their skeptics had healthy criticism as opposed to just being jackasses. For instance, the criticisms of William Crookes research into the psychic force claimed that his findings could be thrown out because no equation could be formed to describe the psychic force. I thought this was healthy. It would be nice to see criticisms nowadays that are equally as useful.

Just sayin'.Well I do have to kind of disagree on the Jay and Grant thing , there are indirect ways of paying people allot money when it comes to networks. Talk shows and news shows indirectly pay people allot of money all the time. I really think if somebody dug into that one, say a forensic accountant people might be slightly shocked. Hell and I am not trying to bad mouth anything they do, I just know there is money greasing the wheels somewhere in that show. They both seem like good people I never had any problem with them , but there is actually money there.Ars Mysteriorum posted:4/11/2012 2:45:03 AM As my friend says, this is yet another 'turn of the crank'.

HiLyte Fluor555-IgG conjugate has been optimized in fluorophore/protein labeling ratio to ensure high fluorescent signal and uncompromised IgG function. HiLyte Fluor555 is an orange flurophore with brighter fluorescence and better photostability than Cy3. The fluorescence of HiLyte Fluor555 is only slightly red-shifted as compared to that of Cy3 dyes, resulting in an optimal match to filters designed for Cy3 dyes. The fluorescence of HiLyte Fluor555 can be observed at excitation/emission wavelength of 553 nm/568 nm. The tubulin in mouse 3T3 cells was detected with primary anti-tubulin antibody, visualized with HiLyte Fluor555 conjugated goat-anti-rabbit Ig G

Where is the church?
Before the start of the Revolutionary War, Samuel Adams once said, "We do not require a majority to prevail, but rather an irate tireless minority to set brush fires in people's minds."
I am proud to be a member of that tireless minority and last month over 500,000 of us made our annual march in Washington, D.C., on a cold, snowy day up the hill to stand in front of the United States Supreme Court. Every January for the past 40 years, abortion abolitionists march to protest the slaughter of the unborn American citizen. Over 55 million voiceless babies killed since 1973 – 3,228 every day – one baby every 27 seconds. May God forgive us.
But it will not be the abortion abolitionists or even the Supreme Court that will end this injustice. Abortion comes with permission of the church of Jesus Christ. I was just a young girl in 1973, but have always wondered if every member of every church in America had stood together in their state capitals like the unions did in Wisconsin last year, would this holocaust have happened? How can the church rush to rescue people from natural disasters and storms and not try to save millions of unborn babies?
It is time to stop lobbying our legislators and lobby our pastors. Over 6 million evangelicals voted in the last election for the most pro-abortion President in history. Born again Christians account for 20 percent of all abortions. One in five women sitting in pews this Sunday hide this dark secret and need the healing touch of the Savior.
We can't expect abortion to end in our culture when we can't even end it in the church. Our pastors in the pulpits need to be salt and light, like the early church leaders who spoke the truth fearless of the consequences. Injustice must be seen to be understood and outlawed. Cry out to your pastors. Demand prayers to end the killing every time the church meets. Prayer is the wind beneath the wings of the pro-life movement. To remain silent is the greatest sin of all!
"Father forgive them, they know not what they do"

August 7, 2012 —
Finding a place to build a slaughterhouse is not such an easy thing to do because most people and businesses prefer not to live next door to one. Therefore, the location that was ultimately settled on for the proposed Southern Catskills Red Meat Processing Facility was in the Village of Liberty on Willow Lane. It is a very rugged lot located across the lane from the sewer treatment plant and next door to a defunct poultry processing facility.
It's a five-acre site that comes with a few challenges, most specifically, much of the site must be carved out of the side of a hill. Engineer Glenn Smith, who has been working to prepare the bid documents this summer, addressed the Sullivan County Legislature on August 2 and said he estimates that the cost for the site preparation, which includes earth moving, installing water, sewer and electric, will cost about $1.3 million. But, he added, that number could change significantly depending on how the contractors respond to the bids.
He said, "There's an awful lot of earthwork involved. There's almost 60,000 cubic yards of dirt that has to be moved because the site is on the side of a hill, and the intent is to get rid of the soil, rock dirt, whatever, on the site at the upper part of the property, which is not part of the five-acre parcel for the red meat facility, but is property that the village owns."
The bids were ready to go out almost immediately, and they are due to be opened in the office of the Sullivan County Industrial Development Agency (IDA) on September 4. The request for bids will go out to 15 companies, most of them located in Sullivan County.
Legislator Ira Steingart, who is also board chairman of the IDA, said he expects that, when the facility opens, it will be able to process five to seven animals per day. Legislator Cindy Geiger, who is also a dairy farmer, said she expects that, like many other processors in the region, this one will have a long waiting list once it opens.
Planning commissioner Luiz Aragon said the facility would demonstrate that there is a need for this service in the region.
However, because of the challenges presented by the site, there is very little room for the facility to expand should it prove to be successful.

Currently I am reading with interest how small towns in Texas, such as Poth and Falls City, are passing resolutions defending Amendment II on Right to bear arms of the Constitution of the United States of America.
The article reads "A well regulated militia, being necessary to the security of a free state, the right of the people to keep and bear arms, shall not be infringed."
The Falls City resolution in part states, "All federal...laws...limiting the size of magazines for any firearm...is invalid in the state of Texas and shall further be considered null and void and of on effect in this city."
I am not a constitution lawyer, but in my opinion if the US Congress (Senate and House) passes a law signed by the U.S. President and declared constitutional by the U.S. Supreme Court by a 9 to 0 vote that no gun can have a magazine that could carry no more than 10 rounds, that law would be valid for all cities, including Poth and Falls City.
Again in my opinion, the Falls City law saying that the federal law "would be considered null and void and have no effect in this city" would be unconstitutional since these matters federal law over rule city law.
In trying to read the founders mind, my thought is that their intention was for citizens to keep muskets in their homes to protect them from invasions by the British. I do not think they wanted everyone to have the right to large assault type weapons with clips of 100 rounds.
The person that shot Congresswomen Gifford had a magazine with 33 rounds. In 15 seconds he wounded 33 people.
Latest polls show that Americans want stronger background checks by about 90%.

Sounds like a good idea
I think we should have a sticky for " Today in Knicks History" it will help new fans of the team learn more about our O & B. I do not mind updating the thread daily however I am sure a mod would want to. #KNICKSTAPE if this is a bad idea tell me to **** off.
Last edited by Crazy⑧s; Nov 30, 2012 at 11:17.
They should have drafted Penny instead of falling for the Giant hype. This was the Knicks first look at Center Shawn Bradley, a "can't miss" freshman from Brigham Young. The Sixers were hoping that Bradley would allow them to compete against the Center dominant teams specifically Ewing. Bradley blocked 5 shots and future Knick Clarence Weatherspoon lead them with 21 points on 8 of 15 shooting. All that was not enough to stop the Knicks team defense as everyone who played in the game logged a steal except ( Mason and Hubert ) for two Knicks. The Knicks stars played under 30 minutes each and the key to victory was team basketball.
It is going to take a similar style of basketball to beat the Mavs tonight. They are not a great team with Dirk out however OJ Mayo has been lights out this year. Brewer , Kidd, Pablo, Felton , Smith are the likley people to guard him tonight depending on who is on the floor.
How about really old? :
November 9 1969 - Knicks win ninth straight, defeating the team they would later face in the NBA Finals, the Los Angeles Lakers, 112-102 at The Forum. Willis Reed scores 35 points and grabs 16 rebounds. Dick Barnett scores 24 points. Bill Bradley scores 21 points and Walt Frazier records 12 points, 10 assists and six rebounds.
Thank you for the help on this one anyone with Knicks Nuggets feel free to add. Thanks!!!
November 12 1991
Patrick Ewing scores 24 points and grabs 11 rebounds in 98-96 win against Nets. That marked his 214th consecutive game (Knicks record) that he scored at least 10 points.
Ewing's streak ended the next day, limited to six points in a 110-107 loss at Indiana.
The Knicks beat the snot out of Memphis ( I hope history repeats itself Friday at the FedEx ) with sniper like shooting from the whole team. The Knicks as a whole led by Will "The Thrill" Chandler ( 4 / 4 3pt) shot 19 / 34 from downtown thus routing the Grizz 132 - 103. Nate Robinson ( 5 / 5 3pt ) came off the bench also displaying lights out shooting for the O & B.
Key Players
Jamal Crawford - 25 pts , 8 assist
Zack Randolph - 18 pts , 10 rbs
Quentin Richardson - 8 pts , 4 rbs
Chris Duhon - 12 pts , 7 assist
Wilson Chandler - 27 points , 3 assist , 3 steals , 7 rebounds
Nate Robinson - 21 points ,5 assist
In a perfect world this is what Mike Dantoni wanted from us every night, to bad teams cant shoot 55% from downtown everynight. When your shots are not falling you need an X and O guy that can strategically make changes at half time not say go,go,go,go.
I also wanted to take the time to show some love to 7 members of Knicksonline.com that are still "active" on the boards. Here is a blast from our Knicksonline past. I find it hard to believe that so many people joined this board during " tuff times" its almost wrong they are not here to share our early glory

November 13, 1998
Unfortunately on this day in 1998 Leukemia claimed the life of Hall of Fame Coach Red Holzman at 78.
Holzman led the franchise to two championships in 1970 and 1973, Red had 613 victories as head coach, which is the most in franchise history.
We thank him for his service to our team and will remember of his greatness forever!
May he Rest In Peace
Sorry if this was posted elsewhere.. Felt this was thread worthy tho.. Puts how good we've been so far into perspective..Chris Herring @HerringWSJ The #Knicks hold fifth straight opponent to 40 pts or less in 2nd half. No team's ever done that to start a season, per Stats LLC.

We probably also have the record for most points given up in the second quarter through the first five games lol
jk but seriously. Thats awesome. We know how to close games. Kidd needs to play point and run the show in crunch time. When the offense isn't firing Felton reverts to his old chucking d'antoni ways. Even though he was great tonight he just has to try and not take matters in his own hands so much.
That's a really interesting stat, and yeah when you hold the other team below 40 pts in the 2nd half you're gonna win most of those games.
if we win @ Spurs there will be a much more louder about Knicks

Whistle Blowing Panel Session
Tue, 9 Apr 2013 6:30 PM
6:30-9 p.m.
Room 1302, Health and Human Services Building
Features whistle blowers Rick Piltz and Thomas Tamm with Louis Clark of the Government Accountability Project serving as moderator. Rick Piltz is a former senior associate in the coordination office of the U.S. Climate Change Science Program. In 2005, he blew the whistle on the White House's improper editing and censorship of science program reports on global warming intended for the public and Congress. Thomas Tamm was a well-regarded Justice Department attorney in the Capital Cases Unit who transferred to the Office of Intelligence Policy and Review in the Justice Department in 2003. He became aware of a program that bypassed the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance court in an arrangement where only the Attorney General would sign certain wiretap requests, without review by the 11-member court. As a result, The New York Times ran an explosive Pulitzer Prize-winning cover story about the Bush administration's warrantless wiretapping program in 2005. In 2009, Tamm received the Ridenour Truth-Telling Award; sponsored by the Departments of Integrated Science and Technology and Political Science and the School of Writing, Rhetoric and Technical Communication; free.

Sigh...my LO is almost 3 months and i have to go back to work next week...sadness..i am dreading it wishing there was a way to never go back and stay home with her always...but my husband is in school and so i have no choice. He will get to be there with her when i am not (i am an RN and work nights, 3 days a week) but still...i am worried that she will want to BF and i won't be there and she will think i abandoned her!!! i know this isn't rationale but its how i feel.
I am pumping at work and already have a good supply built up for when i go back. i am also worried about the "evening hours". My husband calls it the "boobie time" because my LO usually still wants to nurse at least every hour from about 6 to 9ish. and i know its just a closeness thing, i dont' think she is actually hungry. but when i am not there to BF here i don't know if the bottle will cut it. She takes my milk in a bottle good for her daddy (and no one else!)
sigh..just looking for some support and a little advice! sorry so long!

Semi-Flush Mounts
Semi-Flush Mount Lighting
Some rooms simply are not meant to have hanging light fixtures. Be it because of ceiling height or the size of the room, it is often useful to have lighting fixtures available that are nearly flush to the ceiling. These close to ceiling lighting arrangements can still be used as part of a room's decorating scheme without requiring a sacrifice of space or comfort. Semi-Flush Mounts work as a perfect compromise between hanging fixtures and flush or recessed lighting in a home.
Semi-flush mount lighting is perfect for use in rooms with low ceilings or in which lighting can get in the way of the décor. Semi-flush solutions also increase the perceived space in a small room, helping many homeowners avoid the claustrophobic atmosphere that can develop when a hanging fixture is used. Available in several materials and styles, this lighting style can add an elegant touch to a room without overwhelming it surroundings.

We Fund Dependency
"There are no jobs!" That is what people told me outside a government "jobs center" in New York City.
To check this out, I sent four researchers around the area. They quickly found 40 job openings. Twenty-four were entry-level positions. One restaurant owner told me he would hire 12 people if workers would just apply.
It made me wonder what my government does in buildings called "job centers." So I asked a college intern, Zoelle Mallenbaum, to find out. Here's what she found:
"First I went to the Manhattan Jobs Center and asked, "Can I get help finding a job?" They told me they don't do that. 'We sign people up for food stamps.' I tried another jobs center. They told me to enroll for unemployment benefits."
So the "jobs" centers help people get handouts. Neither center suggested people try the 40 job openings in the neighborhood.
My intern persisted:
"I explained that I didn't want handouts; I wanted a job. I was told to go to 'WorkForce1,' a New York City program. At WorkForce1, the receptionist told me that she couldn't help me since I didn't have a college degree. She directed me to another center in Harlem. In Harlem, I was told that before I could get help, I had to come back for an 8:30 a.m. 'training session.'"
Our government helps you apply for handouts immediately, but forces you through a maze if you want to work.
"WorkForce1's website says to arrive 30 minutes early, so I did," Zoelle said. "A security guard told me the building was closed. At 9:15, Workforce1 directed 30 of us into a room where we were told that WorkForce1 directs candidates to jobs and provides a resource room with 'free' phone, fax and job listings and helps people apply for unemployment insurance and disability handouts. This seemed like the only part of the presentation when people took notes.
"One lady told me that she comes to WorkForce1 because it helps her collect unemployment. One asked another, 'What do you want to do?' The second laughed, 'I want to collect!' One told me, 'I've been coming here 17 months; this place is a waste of time.'
"Finally, I met with an 'adviser.' She told me I lacked experience. I know this. I asked for any job she thought I was qualified for, and she scheduled an interview at Pret, a food chain that trains employees. At Pret, I learned that my 'interview' was just a weekly open house, publicized on the company's website. Anyone could walk in and apply. Workforce1 offered no advantage. Despite my 'scheduled interview,' I waited 90 minutes before meeting a manager. He told me that WorkForce1 had 'wasted my time, as they always do.' He said, 'They never call, never ask questions.' He prefers to hire people who seek out jobs on their own, like those who see Pret ads on Craigslist.'"
My intern learned a lot from this experience. Here are her conclusions:
–It's easier to get welfare than to work.
–The government would rather sign me up for welfare than help me find work.
–America has taxpayer-funded bureaucracies that encourage people to be dependent. They incentivize people to take "free stuff," not to take initiative.
–It was easier to find job openings on my own. The private market for jobs works better than government "job centers."
Yet now New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg wants to expand Workforce1, claiming that it helps people "find real opportunities." I bet he never sends people in to find out whether they really do.
Once politicians figured out that welfare creates dependency and hurts poor people, they (logically) assumed that employment services and job training would help. Job training (SET ITAL) does (END ITAL) help — when employers do it. But government does everything badly.
GeorgiaWork$, a state program in that state, provided such poor training that only 14 percent of trainees were hired.
The Comprehensive Employment Training Act (CETA) operated more like a commercial for government handouts. It launched door-to-door food stamp recruiting campaigns, and gave people free rides to welfare offices.
America now has 47 federal jobs programs. They fail. Yet politicians want more. They always want more.

Mankind has long been fascinated with the world of magic and the unbelievable. Without the fantastic, we'd never have The Lord of the Rings, Harry Potter, or David Bowie, and the world would be worse off for it. With it we're able to escape from the nearly unbearable weight of reality and the horrible truth of everyday life that is taxation, people with face tattoos, and working in a cubicle. Fantasy, so often maligned as kid's stuff, has become mainstream once more, as it always should have been if you look through the history of mankind. We have always been enamored with the amazing in the way that an online comedy writer is enamored with bosoms. God, they're just swell, aren't they?

How shitty and plausible do their explanations get? Oh man, I've got a whole article about it.
4 Mermaids Are Manatees
Comstock Images/Comstock/Getty Images
According to me, a mermaid is a mythical lady-beast with the undercarriage of a trout and the rack of a gymnast who's pushing the envelope a little bit, but not so much that you wouldn't believe she could still do the balance beam stuff. So like a large B cup, but squooshed behind that seashell bra.
According to Wikipedia, these fishstresses are so old that they date back to at least 1000 B.C. That's a super old fish. The first mermaid was some Assyrian goddess who, after a little sexual chicanery with a mortal, flung herself into the sea. The sea was all "Damn, you hot" and decided to make half of her a fish but leave the rest so she'd still be sexy. And that's how you make a mermaid.
Since that first story, nearly every culture that managed to get near a body of water larger than a creek has come up with stories of mermaids. If every culture around the world has stories about mermaids, surely there must be something to them, right? No. No, you're wrong. God, what's it like being so wrong? In point of fact, there are no mermaids. They're manatees.
Jupiterimages/Photos.com/Getty Images
She squirts, fellas.
History.com says that even Columbus mistook manatees for mermaids, but in fairness, Columbus chose to sail a boat west with literally no idea where he was going or what he'd find, so his status as a savvy sea captain should have been suspect from the get-go. All that aside, it's a fairly popular theory that most mermaid sightings were just manatee sightings, and to that I ask one simple question: What kind of butt-fugly women did these sailors leave at home that they thought manatees were beautiful sirens from the sea? If you put Wilford Brimley and Bea Arthur in the teleporter pod from The Fly and then took the thing they became on the other side, rolled it up in a sleeping bag, smashed it in the face with a pan, and tossed it into the ocean, it would still be slightly more sexually appealing than a manatee.
Any sailor who thought a manatee was a beautiful fish-woman either was blinded by being too long at sea or was the sort of guy who, upon seeing Wesley Snipes in drag in To Wong Foo, would likely suffer a fatal testicle blowout as a result of all that sexy Snipesness.
3 Werewolves Are Caused by Ergot Poisoning
Harry How/Getty Images Sport/Getty Images
So once a month, when the moon is full, the cursed may find themselves overcome by their inner beast and become a werewolf -- a half-man, half-wolf who prowls the night. Only a silver bullet can kill the werewolf, and its bite can pass the curse on to you. Plus like a dozen other bullshit things, depending on what story you're getting your source material from. Did you see Hemlock Grove? You can become a werewolf by drinking from their paw prints. But then, damn, what happened to Shelley Godfrey at the end? Give me the inside scoop, Eli Roth, and I'll totally give you the inside scoop on what Adam Brown does for those endless hours in the office bathroom.
Like mermaids, there are stories from countless cultures throughout the ages about men who become beasts. Not always wolves, but the basic idea is the same. You can find stories from as far back as 400 B.C. detailing men who become wolves, and then somewhere in the Middle Ages they became super popular and vaguely sexual in nature when hairy man love was all the rage.
You'd think the idea of a man completely growing a full-body merkin and fangs before feasting on his neighbors would be a tough one to swallow and an even tougher one to explain away, but many scholars have tried to come up with potential explanations for "real" werewolves, which apparently plagued France in the 16th century, likely due to their delicious baguettes and saucy wenches. While the theory that people with Down's syndrome originated the myth was an option I almost went with for this article (for real, someone hatched that idea), another more awesome explanation has been offered up by science, and it's less in-your-face preposterous than assuming that the kid from Life Goes On was the wolfman -- ergot poisoning.
Jupiterimages/Photos.com/Getty Images
"Sandwich told me I need to get the evil out of you."
Ergot is a fungus that can grow in grains, particularly those from which you make bread. If you store your grains in damp conditions, the fungus has a chance to grow, you make a loaf of bread out of it, and bam, everyone is consuming the fungus. How does that make werewolves? Because ergot poisoning is a lot like taking LSD. So if everyone is eating the same shitty fungus sandwiches, you're all tripping balls. And if a whole town shared grain storage, that whole town is tripping balls. Symptoms can include paranoia, extreme terror, a lack of self-control, hallucinations, and other assorted terrible things. Still not sure it could make a werewolf seem real? In 1951, 135 people were hospitalized with ergot poisoning, and most of them were pretty confident they'd been attacked by tigers and snakes as a result. So all you need is one guy to think he's a werewolf and everyone else is probably going to agree right away. Then rip their clothes off, shit in the well, and climb a tree to spend the rest of the night shrieking obscenities at owls.
Now at this point you may be thinking, "Well shit, when you explain it that way, that's actually a really good explanation for werewolves." And on the surface I'd agree. Except that it so isn't. If everyone in the town was blitzed on wacky bagels, how come it wasn't a dragon attack? Or the Kardashians? Every werewolf story came from a town with shitty sandwiches? For like 2,000 years? That's exactly as plausible as it being a guy with Down's syndrome.

FSIS Policies on Regulatory Decisions
|Non-Retaliation Policy
All FSIS personnel, particularly those who make regulatory and enforcement decisions, are not to retaliate in any way against establishment owners, operators, or employees who have questioned or appealed regulatory or enforcement decisions. FSIS personnel who have engaged in retaliatory behavior may be subject to disciplinary action. (See also FSIS Directive 4735.7, PDF Only)
Appealing FSIS Regulatory Decisions
Federally inspected establishments have the ability to appeal any inspection decision through the use of the Agency's appeal process. FSIS encourages plant owners/operators to appeal decisions they believe are unfair or are not consistent with applicable regulatory standards. Use of the appeal process ensures that any disagreements between plant owners/operators and FSIS inspection program personnel are reviewed. Additional information regarding how to utilize the appeal process may be found by accessing: http://www.fsis.usda.gov/PDF/SVS_Appeals_Guidelines.pdf.
Small Business Protection Laws
Small business owners may contact the Office of National Ombudsman at 1-888-REGFAIR (1-888-734-3247) or www.sba.gov/ombudsman regarding the fairness of the compliance and enforcement actions of FSIS. Please note: FSIS-regulated establishments must use the formal FSIS appeal process to challenge a regulatory decision. The National Ombudsman cannot change, stop, or delay a Federal agency enforcement action. The National Ombudsman can, however, serve as a liaison between small business owners and Federal agencies to discuss the fairness of a regulatory action.

Did y'all two know y'all share a birth anniversary with Leonard Bernstein?
But more importantly did you all know that you all shared a birthday with my son Dan?
So HAPPY BIRTHDAY to the three of you - Wordwind, Capfka, and Danny.
Leonard Bernstein ( May God rest his egotistical soul ) is not worthy of inclusion in this trinity of exceptional beauty, extreme mental acumen, and a goodness of spirit that is envied much by the more base of the lesser angels.
Tonight I will set down three empty glasses in your honor.
The world is a better place because you three are in attendance. Salute! Salute! Salute!

Ryan Fogle, a 29-year-old U.S. Embassy employee, was reportedly caught trying to recruit a Russian intelligence official to work for the CIA. NBC's Andrea Mitchell reports.
Evoking the spy games of the Cold War, Russia said Tuesday that it had detained an American diplomat who was carrying cash, two wigs and technical equipment and was trying to recruit a Russian intelligence official to work for the CIA.
Russia ordered the expulsion of the American diplomat, whom it identified as Ryan Christopher Fogle, third secretary of the political division of the U.S. Embassy. The State Department said only that an officer at the U.S. Embassy in Moscow had been detained and released.
American officials said they did not expect a rift in U.S.-Russian relations. U.S. officials are trying to improve those relations, and to persuade Russia to help resolve a civil war in Syria.
FSB via AP
Wigs and spy gadgets that the Russian Federal Security Service says were carried by American diplomat Ryan Fogle.
Russia used stronger language, calling the matter provocative and in the spirit of the Cold War.
A statement by the Russian Federal Security Service, the successor agency to the Soviet-era KGB, said that Fogle was taken to the service's headquarters and then to the U.S. embassy after his arrest Monday night.
The security service, known as the FSB, released to Russian media photographs of the American's arrest and what it said were items he had with him, including the wigs, a torch, a compass and a wad of 500-euro notes, each worth $650.
Russian television also displayed a letter it said was found on Fogle, printed in Russian and addressed "Dear friend." The letter offered a $100,000 payment as "an advance from someone who has been highly impressed by your professionalism, and who would highly value your cooperation in the future."
The statement from the security service said that the U.S. had "repeatedly attempted to recruit employees of Russian law enforcement bodies and special departments" recently.
The U.S. ambassador to Russia, Michael McFaul, was participating in a question-and-answer session on Twitter when the detention was announced. He was summoned to Russia's foreign ministry, The Associated Press reported.
Experts expressed surprise at the old-school nature of the alleged espionage, but they noted that intelligence-gathering had not stopped just because the Cold War ended more than two decades ago.
FSB via AP
In this photo provided by Russian Federal Security Service, a man claimed by the service to be Ryan Fogle is seen at the service's offices in Moscow.
"If anything, it has increased," said James Nixey, head of the Russia and Eurasia Programme at the British think tank Chatham House. "The methods have changed — or so we thought — because it's more about industrial espionage and corruption these days."
Besides the diplomacy over Syria, there have been questions about whether Russia gave the United States enough information about Tamerlan Tsarnaev, one of the suspects in the attack on the Boston Marathon.
Russian officials asked the U.S. for more information about Tsarnaev, who was born in what is now Russia and traveled to Russia early last year. Russia suspected that Tsarnaev was becoming radicalized, American officials have said.
The FBI interviewed him in 2011 and turned up nothing, and when the FBI asked Russia twice for more information about its concern, Russia failed to respond, the American officials said. Tsarnaev was killed April 19 in a shootout with police.
President Barack Obama later said Russia had cooperated since the attack but noted: "Old habits die hard. There are still suspicions sometimes between our intelligence and law enforcement agencies that date back 10, 20, 30 years, back to the Cold War."
The incident would not be the only intelligence blunder in Russia. Britain admitted bugging a Moscow park in 2006 by disguising a recording device as a big rock. The FSB saw a British diplomat picking it up and walking away with it.

Ancient Egyptian alabaster is a type of white translucent stone used in statuary, architecture, altars and vessels. It is a form of limestone more accurately described as travertine. It occurs principally in the area of Middle Egypt, the main Pharaonic source being Hatnub about ten miles southeast of the New Kingdom city at El-Amarina. These vessels contained oils and other unguents that had been perfumed with various aromatic herbs and spices, for use on the living body or as sacred oils to anoint the mummy in the tomb at various stages of the ritual opening of the mouth ceremony. From the early Dynastic period onwards alabaster was increasingly used for the production of cosmetic and funerary vessels and the skilled craftsmen chose and shaped the stone to maximise the decorative effect of the natural colour and banding.

L-Glutamine, the free form amino acid, is the single most abundant amino acid present in skeletal muscle. L-Glutamine may support muscle tissue by limiting the degradation of protein through nitrogen retention, glycogen synthesis, and protein synthesis. L-Glutamine may also assist in the fueling and detoxifying of the brain. Thus, L-Glutamine has been dubbed 'the thinker's amino'. L-Glutamine's muscle and brain tissue supporting qualities have made L-Glutamine an invaluable addition to an athlete's regimen.
