What's the next U.S. terror threat?
By Susan Page, Thomas Frank and Kevin Johnson, USA TODAY
WASHINGTON The past decade was defined by terrorism, starting with the Sept. 11 attacks in 2001 that led to two wars and big changes in the way Americans travel and live.
What could the next decade hold?
To find out, USA TODAY reporters sat down with some of the nation's top officials who deal with terrorism and intelligence issues day-to-day, including the White House national security adviser, the Homeland Security secretary and the FBI's top intelligence adviser. Others interviewed: the New York City police commissioner, the Senate Intelligence Committee chairwoman and the only person who has led both the top-secret National Security Agency and Central Intelligence Agency.
TERROR ATTEMPT: Bin Laden claims responsibility
SECURITY: U.S.-bound fliers required to register
WHERE AMERICA STANDS: More stories
The interviews took place this month, in the aftermath of the foiled bombing of a Detroit-bound jetliner on Christmas Day that focused the nation's attention once again on the terror threat.
The officials offer different perspectives: The "nightmare scenario" of terrorists gaining access to weapons of mass destruction. The rise of the "lone wolf" terrorist, acting alone and using a new breed of hard-to-detect explosives. The radicalization of some people in the Caribbean, close to U.S. shores. The Internet as a weapon.
And the prospect that the battle against terror is being won.
Questions and answers have been edited for length and clarity.
Top officials see varied challenges in coming decade:

Janes Jones, White House national security adviser
A retired Marine Corps four-star general, is national security adviser for President Obama. Jones has served as commandant of the Marine Corps and NATO's supreme allied commander in Europe, and he was a special envoy to the Middles East for the George W. Bush administration.
"Of all the things that could be the nightmare scenario, what's the biggest nightmare scenario? Thirty years ago, one of my predecessors would have said nuclear war with Russia. Today, as I'm in this chair, I can tell you it's proliferation, the acquisition of a weapon of mass destruction by a terrorist organization. The difference between a nation-state doing so and a rogue group of a terrorist organization is that nation-states can be controlled. They know if they're going to use one what's going to happen. But terrorist groups will have no such limitation. That's one aspect of the next decade that we're going to have to focus on...
"It's very clear that radical terrorist organizations, the most prominent of which of course is al-Qaeda ... will continue to try to obtain weapons of mass destruction - which I think is their singular goal, which would be a huge game changer."
Q: Can it be prevented?
A: "As long as the family of nations, of civilized nations, (doesn't) get together and say this is in fact something that is completely unacceptable to all of us, then there's always that risk. But there are ways in which we can prevent them from acquiring this capacity. One way is to keep them always on the run. Never, never let them get a foothold. And it's going to take international diplomacy fairly rapidly to make sure that where they appear, that they're dealt with rapidly and efficiently and ruthlessly in order to make sure they never get that foothold where they could organize themselves in pursuit of their ultimate aspiration."
Q: What would qualify as a 'game changer?'
A: "The threat of a weapon of mass destruction, whether it's nuclear or chemical or biological, is a fundamentally different order of threat, magnitude of threat, to our societies. And probably the reaction to our knowing that's out there would foster changes in the way we live that are probably very hard to imagine."
Q: What should the U.S. focus on in the next decade?
A: "Countries are always accused after a war is over of preparing themselves for the war that is just over. You can make the same case that our fixation with airlines is only because airlines have been the primary means by which terrorists have tried to strike at us, and I don't think there's any question that we should also consider other means of mass transportation - trains, buses, seaports...
"If you want to see a sharp contrast between the level of focus on security, go to an airport and go to a train station, for example. <hellip/> I think we should pay attention to the whole spectrum of vulnerabilities."

Raymond Kelly, New York police commissioner
A New York City police commissioner, overssing the nation's largest police department with 35,000 officers. he previously served as commissioner of the U.S. Customs Service and is a combat verteran of the Vietnam War.
"New York City is going to be a target in 2020. This is it. This is the big enchilada. It's the communications capital, the financial capital. It's seen as the capital of the world... I don't think an attack is inevitable here because we're doing an awful lot. It may mean they go to someplace else. But New York will still be at the top of the terrorist target list."
Q: Are there areas of the world that concern you?
A: "We've been looking at South Africa for a while now. You'll see pockets around Johannesburg with the Pakistani Diaspora and madrassas being developed there. There's also the Sahel desert area south of Algeria, Mali and Mauritania.
"We have to keep our eye on the Caribbean - Jamaica, Trinidad, locations like that. There's a lot of disaffection there."
Q: Will terrorists shift their focus from aviation and landmarks to more open targets like subways?
A: "If you look at their purpose, it's not just to kill people, it's to terrorize, to really frighten people. One of the ways of doing that effectively is aviation. People feel particularly vulnerable in the air, and if terrorists do anything it's going to get them a lot of publicity.
"We've done an awful lot to make it more difficult. (Umar Farouk Abdulmutullab, accused of trying to blow up a Detroit-bound airliner on Dec. 25) had to really go to great lengths to get this explosive in the air, and it still didn't work. It doesn't mean they aren't going to try it again. I think they're going to learn from it."
Q: What sort of anti-terrorism technology do you want in the New York City subway system?
A: "Clearly we need a comprehensive camera program and a sensor program (to detect biochemical agents). ... We're looking ideally for a self-contained system that does the analysis quickly, either in the system or some place where you can get the results back quickly. Right now, it's more of a manual system. We need an automated system."
Q: What's the biggest impediment to preventing an attack?
A: "You have to be concerned about a certain level of apathy down the road. You'll have the Detroit case, and it's on the front pages of the paper, and it sort of drops off. Now, does that extend to the government? I hope not.
"You have to guard against it as best you can, but the reality is, the longer we go without an attack, human focus shifts. I think apathy is something that affects us, whether we admit it or not. We have a short attention span in this country."
Interviewed Thomas Frank
Most of the world willed him to succeed because we had been hobbled by most of what had taken place in the last eight years - a pall of gloom and despair covered the world forever scarred by the ghastly atrocity of Sept. 11, 2001, and the disastrous invasion of Iraq in 2003.
Dianne Feinstein, D-Calif., Senate Intelligence Committee chair
Chairs the Senate Intelligence Committee, which oversees U.S. intelligence agencies. She has served on the committee since January 2001. She is a former mayor of San Francisco.
"In this new decade, we must pay attention to (radical Islamic) madrassas, and madrassas exist by the thousands all over Pakistan, all over most Muslim countries. Youngsters are not taught any subject which enables them to earn a living in a legal way, but only the Quran - and in addition to that a perverted version which teaches them how to hate, encourages them toward jihad and gives them their first training as a jihadi, and then refers them to various training camps. These are extremely dangerous.
"The Muslim world is very young and therefore the education of these young people is all-important, and (it is) a place where we have neglected to concentrate and where most Muslim countries have been reluctant to interfere. So the madrassas have just been spreading...
"We really need to concentrate resources on (it). See that normal schools are established. Part of the problem is, poverty is so widespread in these countries that these children have nothing and therefore they can go to school where they have room and board and clothes, their parents are delighted. But those schools don't teach them to function in the world as it is. They teach them to hate and kill."
Q: What will be the chief terrorist threat to the United States by 2020?
A: "What we're going to see is the emergence of the lone wolf rather than the planning of large numbers of people to carry out large attacks... Explosives are getting more sophisticated. And we've seen new areas which have become safe havens as well as operational theaters for these groups, namely Yemen, Somalia and as a matter of fact virtually the entire Maghreb (in northern Africa)."
Q: How much has this issue changed over the past decade?
A: "We've got this huge, dark world out there of non-state actors banding together in loose alliances and doing just terrible things, things that we never would have thought could possibly be done: Blowing up schools. Blowing up hospitals. Blowing up marketplaces. Who would ever think that anybody even remotely civilized would do that kind of thing? ...But it's become almost expected, and that was not the case in 2001."

Phiip Mudd, FBI senior intelligence adviser
The senior intelligence adviser at the FBI. He previously served as deputy director of the Counter Terrorism Center, responsible for overseeing its operational, analytical, and support programs.
"I think that the idea of the ends justifying the means is losing value. By that I mean there appears to be less tolerance (among terror organizations and their supporters) for attacks that target large numbers of civilians.... The (extremist) websites are rife with this debate."
Q: Where is that leading?
A: "The Internet will play an important role. It will perhaps determine how long it will take for people to think about the evolution of jihad and the idea that the killing of innocents is unacceptable. As a result, you might see a change in targeting - taking out power plants, water systems and other structural targets. But it might take 10 years to get there."
Q: As terrorists' tactics change, how does the FBI change?
"We have to continue evolving as an organization that analyzes and responds to emerging threats as much as we investigate individual cases. Globalization impacts us. When the world changes in Somalia, Pakistan, Yemen, Russia... we have a responsibility to try to understand and counter threats that result.
"We don't simply collect intelligence, and we don't simply investigate federal crimes. We combine both to provide security, by trying to understand threats early through intelligence and analysis and then using law enforcement and other tools to prevent a threat from growing. And, as a result of our security responsibilities, we'll need to keep ...making sense of vast and growing amounts of data on emerging threats."

Janet Napolitano, secretary of Homeland Security
Secretary of the Department of Homeland Security. She was the governor of Arizona from 2003 to 2009, Arizona's attorney general from 1999 to 2002, and the U.S. attorney in Arizona from 1993 to 1998.
"One area we are now seeing more of is the whole cyber issue. We saw that with China and Google (which said its computers were hacked in China). We're seeing increasing attempts to use the Internet not only to connect different people as a facilitator of terrorist groups but also as a possible means of attack...
"It can be a denial of service attack, which really shuts down your access not only to the Internet, but in some circumstances, to services that are operated through the Internet, like communications. It can be fraud or misinformation. It can be the theft of valuable defense information or of intellectual property."
Q: Will terrorists still be focused on aviation in 2020?
A: "It's hard to predict that far out. But what we are assuming is that aviation could be (their focus), which is why we're continuing to work on the technology that is used at airports...We also are working across the international air environment because this is an international issue. We need to lift aviation standards around the world."
What are the challenges of doing that?
"It's a challenge of capacity. In some places, it's a challenge of political will. In some places, it's a challenge of resources."
Q: By 2020, will we see a body scanner at every airport checkpoint?
A: "I don't know about at every checkpoint. But I think what we'll see is a rapid deployment of body scanners, and rapid improvement of technology. We'll also see improvements in explosive detection (that will increase) our ability to pick up traces on persons and on baggage and on cargo, but particularly on persons."
Q: Will the biggest aviation threat be to U.S.-bound international flights?
A: "It is international, but it's also the homegrown terrorist who can act on land, on sea and in the air. One of the things that's so important is, even in the face of this very determined adversary, to demonstrate that we are able to respond and we are resilient - that these attempts do not 'terrorize' us, and that terrorists can't obtain their objective because we're tougher than that."

Michael Hayden, former CIA and NSA director
A retired Air Force four-star general, was head of the Central Intelligence Agency during the George W. Bush administration. He previously served as director of the National Security Agency. He is now a principal with the Chertoff Group, a security consulting firm.
"At what a military guy would call the deep battle, we are seeing signs of progress. Here, specifically what you have are authentic voices in the Muslim world who are seriously questioning both the vision and the tactics of al-Qaeda. And the key point there is, they've got to be authentic voices in the Islamic world. It's not something that we can do. It has to come from within Islam itself. That is, I think, one of the more heartening signs in terms of the long fight...
"I don't know if we've crested yet (in terms of the terror threat) but I see trend lines that - and I choose my words carefully here, without being Pollyannaish - give me reason to hope... It could be that the tactical results - you know, how many young Islamic men are willing to accept these kind of beliefs - that may still have a bit of a bow wave to it. We may continue to see this. But what's beginning is this serious questioning within Islam. And over time, if the trend continues, we will see a reduction (in terrorism).
Q: How is the terrorist threat changing?
A: "Self-radicalized individuals from within the United States begin to be a bit more of a problem. And certainly for the near- to midterm, the next several years at least, that's an issue on which we'll see increased focus by our counterterrorism folks.
"We are not immune to this threat, but we are blessed in the United States with the American immigrant experience, being different than the immigrant experience say, in Western Europe or even in Great Britain. ... We have a history of assimilation just by the nature of our country that our European friends have not had to the same degree or in the same manner.. .. And so it's not surprising that the homegrown threat comes later to us and maybe even less severe than, say, it is in Great Britain.. ..
"We have to become more and more aware of this.... This is probably going to be less severe than it is elsewhere, (but) the threat's not zero and we need to pay very careful attention to it."
Q: What emerging threat is not getting much notice?
A: "I'm going to use the word franchising. You've got al-Qaeda the base operating out of the region along the Afghanistan and Pakistan border.... Now you have an al-Qaeda in Iraq, which has suffered greatly. You have al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula. You have al-Qaeda in the Islamic Maghreb. You've got al-Qaeda in the Horn of Africa. You've got these franchises popping up...
"The last attack, the Christmas attack, came out of al-Qaeda in Yemen. It was an individual recently brought into al-Qaeda with fairly limited training, using a weapon that did not have a high probability of success. Now compare that to what happened on 9/11: 19 guys, four airplanes, massive loss, long preparation and so on...
"So maybe the potential for the spectacular has been reduced in a real way, but then these lower threshold threats continue."

Clarifies Confusion
Dear Editor;
Recent editions of The Wave have wrongfully given readers the impression that I have been selected to redevelop the courthouse.
As the community is aware, my goal all along has been to see the courthouse restored whether by another developer or me.
The recent EDC request for proposals has been so successful in attracting qualified developers that I have asked EDC to only consider my application in the event that the other proposals fall short of acceptance.
Of course, I will continue to give attention to other areas of the peninsula that need some attention. Additionally, the real credit for moving this project along belongs to Dan Tubridy, Vicent O'Connor, Jonathan Gaska, Borough President Claire Shulman and the Wave editorial staff.

I am getting gynecomastia surgery. Which is better for a thinly built person? Removing fat by manually cutting it out versus liposuction. The extra breast tissue is going to be removed for sure. I've read that surgeons have different techniques.
Which Gynecomastia Technique for a Thin Male?
Doctor Answers 15
Technique for gynecomastia
The type of technique utilized depends on the specifics of the patient. There are two types of tissue in male breasts, fat ( adipose) and breast gland ( glandular). The type of treatment is dependent on each persons presentation. Thin patients typically have minimal fat and require a direct excision of the glandular tissue to achieve maximal benefit from surgery.
Web reference: http://www.plasticsurg.org
Gynecomastia choices
True gynecomastia is the development of fibrous tissue in a male. This may or not be amenable to removal with ultrasonically assisted liposuction, depending on amount and firmness. Most gynecomastia is really nothing more than excess fatty tissues, and this is much more readily treated with liposuction. For large amounts of tissue, especially if there is a significant amount of excess skin, formal surgical removal is required.
Gynecomastia in thin men is often breast gland with little fat.
I always try to do a little liposuction. There is no down side, But it sounds like what you need is cutting out the breast tissue right under the nipples. This is done though a small scar in the nipples, which does not show.

Gynecomastia Treated With Excision & Liposuction
True gynecomastia is most typically treated with both excision and liposuction. Occasionally excess fat without glandular tissue can be treated with liposuction alone and pure glandular gynecomastia in a slim patient can be treated with excision alone. In the majority of patients that I see, however, both suction and excision are used.
Gynecomastia is enlaged breast tissue in the male. It is some times associated with more fat in the breast and the chest.
Breast tissue can not be taken out by liposuction therefore it has to be removed surgically. If there is fat in the breast and the chest then we add liposuction to the fat to reduce the size of the breast evenly.
Thin people and real gynecomastia
Usually thin people who suffer from real gynecomastia will need excision of the gland rather then liposuction of fatty tissue that they may not have.
Which Gynecomastia Technique for a Thin Male?
John T. Nguyen, MD, FACS, FICS
Double Board Certified Plastic Surgeon
Gynecomastia for a thin male...
Gynecomastia is a condition seen in many men. There are different techniques that surgeons use to treat this condition. Enlarged male breasts can be reduced by liposuction and/or cutting out excess glandular tissue. Men of any age who are healthy, can be considered good candidates for this procedure. Often liposuction is tried first, but if the breast tissue is not removed well as it sometimes occurs in thin people, then it will have to be excised directly. The best way to really determine which technique would be best for you, is to have a scheduled appointment with a board certified plastic surgeon.

Surgical procedure for treatment of gynecomastia in a thin man
Gland excision and liposuction
If you truly have gynecomastia then you have glandular tissue present. Liposuction no matter what type will not remove this and direct excision is necessary Thirty-five percent of my gynecomastia practice is revision surgery. Liposuction only is the most common reason.

The Psychic Abilities of Ants HTML version
WHEN discussing the ant-mind, we must consider that
small animals, on the one hand, differ very widely from
selves in organisation, but on the other hand, have
come, through
so-called convergence, to possess in the form of a
social common-
wealth a peculiar relationship to us. My subject,
however, requires
the discussion of so many complicated questions that I
am com-
pelled to assume acquaintance with the work of others,
the elements of psychology, and in addition the works
of P. Huber,
Wasmann, von Buttel-Reepen, Darwin, Romanes, Lubbock,
Fourmis de la Sutsse, and many others. Since the
functions ot the
sense-organs constitute the basis of comparative
psychology, I
must also refer to a series of articles entitled
"Sensations des In-
sectes" which I have recently published (1900-1901) in
the Rivista
de Biologia Generate, edited by Dr. P. Celesia. In
these papers I
have defined my position with respect to various
authors, especially
Plateau and Bethe.
Very recently Bethe, Uexkull, and others have denied
the ex-
istence of psychic powers in invertebrate animals. They
the latter as reflex-machines, and take their stand on
the ground of
the so-called psycho-physical parallelism for the
purpose of demon-
strating our inability to recognise mental qualities in
these animals.
They believe, however, that they can prove the
mechanical regu-
larity of behavior, but assume unknown forces whenever
they are
left in the lurch in their explanations. They regard

my honey crystallized and I am trying to un crystallize it. I have my unit set at 100 deg. its been a week and the honey is still in the same state. how long does it take?
my honey crystallized and I am trying to un crystallize it. I have my unit set at 100 deg. its been a week and the honey is still in the same state. how long does it take?
In a hot water bath, I have found that I need to take it to 140F to fully dissole all crystals and keep without re-crystalizing. Need to heat the honey totally through. Did a test jar of canola honey on Sept 9 and its still liquid.
That much heat darkened the honey.
Know many on Beesource say 95-110F is max temp but I note that sqkcrt warms his to 150F. I was somewhat surprised at the 150F but I'll go with all that experience and vaidated my 140F.
Zone 3b. If you always do what you always did, you'll always get what you always got!
I'm replying to this thread because of a conversation me and another beekeeper had just the other day. I don't use a warming box. I store my honey in 5 gallon buckets and use a heating band to warm it, This usually takes 24 hours. Our conversation formed a question. . Isn't a warming box made for keeping already liquefied honey liquid? . It would seem crystallized honey takes prolonged direct heat to liquefy. i tend to sell my honey off in barrels to avoid crystallized honey!
Regards, Barry
Anything above 120deg. will kill all the good stuff in the honey, might as well sell corn syrup.. 115 deg. water bath and 5 gal. bucket reliquefied in 2 days. That's what works for me anyway, hope that helps.
Mine takes 1-2 days (5 gal buckets) using 105 as a high, depending on how solid it is. Do you have a fan inside of the freezer? Where is the sensor? On the first one I made I put the sensor at the top with no fan. When I moved the sensor I found that the top could be 100 and the bottom would be 80, even in a small counter top refrigerator. You need a fan.
Barry, sorry, I misused the quote. I meant that since yours is working at 110 degrees, maybe Adamant should check the temp and maybe turn it up a little.
http://i29.photobucket.com/albums/c2...408/Hotbox.jpg this is the one I built it will hold 2 buckets and they will bee liquid in 3 days @115 degrees
Ed, KA9CTT profanity is IGNORANCE made audible
you can`t fix stupid not even with duct tape
Mine uses a cheap water heater thermostat and a 60 watt light bulb. Its set at about 120f, but a cooking thermometer on top of the jars reads about 115f. I tried a 200 watt bulb first. It brought the freezer up to temperature real quick, but it also started to melt the plastic on the underside of the lid (chest type freezer) right above the bulb. Takes 2-3 days with the 60 watt bulb. The jars on top liquify first due to temp gradient, so a fan would be a good idea. I'm thinking a computer fan.
We run our box around 113F.
We keep the probe in a mason jar with water, with a plastic bag rubber-banded around the top.
I can only fit three buckets of honey in my waterbath warming tank, but I typically put four buckets worth of honey into my bottling tank. So, having a refurbished refrigerator would take even longer to liquify, or partially liquify enough honey to fill my tank.
Seems like I recall plans for a hot box which can hold 4 or six buckets at a time illustrated on beesource.com. Or am I imagining things?
Mark Berninghausen
So, somewhere between 57 where it supposedly crystallizes the fastest, and 110 degrees where it re-liquefies there must be a minimum lower temp that will keep it liquid more or less indefinitely. Anyone know what that is?
Reading this thread got me motivated to combine our recently dead upright freezer and recently crystallized honey (from the cold garage) along with a 60 watt drop light. Works great - took about 2 days to get up to 111 degrees (no thermostat, it just happens to run at 111 degrees) and now a few days later and my remaining stock is just about completely re-liquified.
I have year old honey in the laundry room (same place as the aforementioned dead freezer) where it stays around 75 year round which has not crystallized yet - so that might be a good starting point. Since the hive temp runs in the 90s then surely that is completely safe as far as not damaging the honey in any way.
I'm thinking I will move the dead freezer out to the garage, and put a thermostat on it just to maintain my stock until I get it all sold in the future.
Since '09-75H-T-Z6b
I use a heating blankets on the barrels and it takes about 3 days at 100 deg. Then I just pump the barrel into the bottling tanks to finish the job.
I use 3 , 60 watt bulbs in a big freezer, It will hold 4... 5 gallon buckets and a bunch of bottles. got a digital controller for $65 . You can set the plus or minus to 1 degree. got it a grainger
I'm not tense, Just terribly, terribly alert!
I'm thinking about building a closet. I want to be able to wheel 8 buckets of honey, 2 per stack, into a hot room to liquify. I want to avoid lifting a bucket of honey up over the side of a chest freezer. I lift those buckets of honey enough as it is. Too much maybe.
Mark Berninghausen
I built one that about 35" tall. That the front open up. Can do one five at a time or two layers of qt. about two days set at 105*. Controler came from honey run. I Need to add a small fan to it hot spot.

text: I don't know why but I am feeling a little nervous about the motorcycle course this weekend. I have been riding with my permit for about 6 months but I decided to take the MSF course to get my license. Any tips? Is it a hard class to pass or am I working myself up for no reason? I have been riding my good friends Sportster up until recently when I finished the restore on my 76 BMW R90/6 and have been riding that since. I am ready to start the class but just a bit nervous since I really do not know what to expect.

very important WNBA game tonight,the Indiana Fever host the New York Liberty,the Fever can clinch a play off spot with a victory and for the Liberty its the last chance to keep their play off hopes alive ( at least theoretical)
Indiana destroyed the Liberty on sunday at the "garden" 90-76 with a halftime lead from almost 20,the New York Liberty was hammered by Phoenix at home on tuesday again 76-64 and looked like a banged up team that has already given up
i said that already on tuesday,the whole New York situation reminds me of the Sparks,the players wants to get rid of despot Coach Laimbeer. like the sparks players wanted to get rid of Carol Ross, the Liiberty players just cant adapt his "system" , in the press conference after the tuesday loss against the Mercury he threw his team under the bus again , saying how bad his players are, you cant gain confidence with such actions, Bill Laimbeer is truly one of a kind
there are a lot of miss matches between these two ,the big Indiana girls Catchings and Larkins give the small New York guards Cruz and Pondexter a very hard time, well, the Indiana Fever have the together with the LA Sparks the worst record at home, I think the Liberty are done but the spread is at -6 and no team has blown that much double digit leads in the last quarter like Indiana
so if you go with Indiana on the spread but are uncertain of the # the UNDER is a great alternative here,Indiana have a great defense and Liberty offense is very limited, they have only 3 player that can really score , Tina Charles,Cappie Pondexter and Ana Cruz, on sunday the Fever shoot the lights out with 90 points at New York, I doubt that this will happen tonight at home, Fever are a better road team
so my #FREE PICK# selection is:
New York Liberty@Indiana Fever UNDER 142

Among the most-played songs in my iTunes library are four immortal (and often-covered) compositions by Leonard Cohen: "Sisters of Mercy," "Bird on a Wire," "Hallelujah" and, of course, "Suzanne." Significantly, "Hallejujah" is a meditation on the "sweet singer of Israel," King David, although Cohen himself is, famously, a Buddhist monk and, not so famously, a former student of Scientology with a "Senior Dianetic, Grade IV Release" to show for it.
Before he achieved his current stature as a celebrated songwriter and an éminence grise of (North) American popular culture, however, Cohen more closely resembled a character out of a Mordecai Richler novel. Young Leonard was born in the wealthy Jewish neighborhood of Westmount in Montreal, the son of a man who made his fortune in haberdashery and insurance, and he served as president of the Menorah Club at Westmount High School, but he reinvented himself as a faintly Byronic figure with poetry that he fully intended to win prizes and readers.
The story of Cohen's life and work is told in "I'm Your Man: The Life of Leonard Cohen" by Sylvie Simmons, a rock journalist and biographer. It is a sweeping and yet penetrating book that gives us the elusive Cohen in full light and intimate detail.
Simmons brings her flair for the arresting phrase to her work. "By inclination he is a private man, rather shy," she writes, "but if probing is required he'll put his feet in the stirrups with dignity and humor." And she succeeds in capturing the alchemy by which Cohen turned his adolescent angst into gold: "The Big Bang of Leonard, the moment when poetry, music, sex and spiritual longing collided and fused in him for the first time, happened in 1950, between his fifteenth and sixteenth birthdays," she explains, "when he happened upon 'The Selected Poems of Federico Garcia Lorca.' " Young Leonard never looked back.

Coccidiosis in Dogs : Parasites in the Intestinal tract
Coccidiosis is an intestinal tract infection caused by a one-celled organism or protozoa called coccidia. Coccidia are not parasitic worms, they are microscopic parasites that live within cells of the intestinal lining. Because they live in the intestinal tract and commonly cause diarrhea, they are often confused with worms.
Signs & Symptoms of Coccidiosis in Dogs
Most pets that are infected with coccidia do not have diarrhea or any other clinical signs. When the eggs or oocysts are found in the stool of a pet without diarrhea, they are generally considered a transient, insignificant finding. However, in kittens, puppies and debilitated adult cats and dogs, they may cause severe, watery diarrhea, dehydration, abdominal distress, and vomiting. In severe cases, death may occur.
Causes of Coccidiosis in Dogs
Oocysts (immature coccidia) are passed in the feces of an infected cat or dog. These oocysts are very resistant to environmental conditions and can survive for some time on the ground. Under the right conditions of temperature and humidity, these oocysts "sporulate". If the sporulated oocysts are ingested by a susceptible dog, they will release "sporozoites" that invade the intestinal lining cells and set up a cycle of infection in neighboring cells.
Diagnosis of Coccidiosis in Dogs
Diagnosis begins with a complete history and a physical exam of the dog. Your veterinarian will most likely do the following:
- Fecal Floatation - This test is used to determine the presence of parasite eggs in your dog's stool. It involves taking a small fecal sample from your dog using a lubricated fecal loop. The feces are then put in a small container with a solution that will allow most of the fecal matter to sink and the parasite eggs to float. A slide is then made of the floating material and examined under a microscope.
- Send a blood sample to a lab for confirmation.
Treatment for Coccidiosis in Dogs
Coccidia can be very easy to treat and usually consists of a sulfa-based antibiotic. The antibiotic most commonly used is Albon and comes in tablet and liquid form.
Prevention of Coccidiosis in Dogs
One thing to remember is that no matter what you do sometimes there are diseases your dog will contract. If you notice any change in your dog's health, get them to your vet soon as possible. Sometimes diseases that are very treatable can be fatal if left untreated.

Patrick Gale - A Perfectly Good Man
10 October 2012 , 4:57 PM by Mary-Lou Stephens
Patrick Gale's last novel went on to become a best-seller as most of his novels have, He born on the Isle of Wight, where his father was prison governor at Camp Hill. Patrick himself has never had a grown-up job. While working on his first novels he eked out an income with odd jobs; as a typist, a singing waiter, a designer's secretary and a ghost-writer for an encyclopedia of things musical. So just as well his novels have sold as well as they have.
When Mary-Lou Stephens spoke with him she discovered he has an amazing memory, and she asked him whether that came in handy as a writer.

On Tuesday afternoon, a 14-year-old girl was the subject of an alleged child abduction attempt in Oak Lawn.
The girl called 911, claiming that she was being followed by a male for a number of blocks and being repeatedly asked to get into his van.
The incident occurred as the girl was walking southbound on Pulaski, near 95th Street.
Although Oak Lawn and Evergreen Park Police were able to get to the girl within a minute of the 911 call, the suspect had left the area.
The man was described as a black male in his 40s, having short hair, a mustache, and was wearing a yellow t-shirt. The man's van was described as red or maroon in color, and possibly a Ford Windstar.
Additional information and possible updates can be found in a variety of media sources including the May 30 CBS Chicago story titled "Police Seek Suspect In Attempted Oak Lawn Child Abduction" as well as the May 29 Oak Lawn Patch story titled "Attempted Child Abduction Reported Tuesday Afternoon in Oak Lawn."
Those with information concerning the incident or suspect are asked to call Oak Lawn Police at (708) 422-8292.

Looks to me like a plaster cast, or could be a fiberglass resin of a kind I'm not familiar with, I work with fiberglass and resin all day at work but that's what the pic looks like to me.
Looks like the inside of the asteroid cave from ESB.
Jus' kidding. Kinda.
Is that dark area a hole?
I really wonder myself. It could be some form of resin, or maybe liquid plastic?
don't you guys recognize that missing link in the mystery helmet lineage? that's the long forgotten frosting helmet!
Might just be paint. Did you try to sand or chip any off?
Looks like slush-cast resin to me.
I'd be afraid to stick my head in that thing...looks too ALIEN 'face huggerish'!
put a blow dryer on it and if it loosens up it'll help you determine what it is. Atleast it's a start. I really don't think it's paint, it wouldn't be so firmly in place. Latex would wobble like a balloon and oil would crumble.
I am pretty sure it is slush cast resin.
That's definitely resin, I thought he was asking about the red blotches inside.
I was gonna say whipped cream , but that would not be very helpfull. It looks like the type of resin that garden ornaments (lawn gnome and frogs) are made of.
That looks to me like a (sloppy) slush cast plastic resin - a lot like the stuff I'm using actually. It will hold bondo, but you have to clean it with dish soap and make sure you scuff it up with sandpaper first. Same goes for painting. Make sure it's good and cleaned off as the stuff has an oily residue.
Forgot to mention - the stuff can be cut quite easily with a fine saw (to get rid of the flash), and it sands really quite easily. You should be able to sand down any irregularities - assuming you find any LOL. Another useful tool to have for working with this stuff is a dremel. I also use a mouse sander quite a bit for larger areas of sanding if needed on such a casting. It can be sanded quite smooth with progressively fine sandpaper (wetsand near the end). Once again, be sure it's well cleaned of residue before trying to paint it.
Well since its not the inside that really counts. I would have to agree with gypsyboy. It looks to be a slushcasted helmet. A VERY Sloppy one. May I ask to see pictures of the helmet itself?
Resin slush cast and it looks to be a first timer.
Hey! My first time slushing was nicer than that!!
Looks to me like the slusher was a rusher. It may have been just a rough job for the sake of having an outside form to work on for mods or something. I know if I had that lid I wouldn't bother with the inside at all. I'd just fix up the outside and take a mold and make my own clean casting - and then I'd use the mold to make other lids I could modify to a few Mando variants. But that's me... I always like to make more work for myself than I would otherwise have had.
OK, everyone seems to agree it is a slush cast resin bucket. It's still not the worst thing I've ever seen, but it does need some TLC.
Here's a few pix of the outside of it as some people have requested.
Whoa! That really needs some TLC. Seriously, that has much better prospects than what I bought before finding this place. Good luck with that.
Last edited by Wildabeast; Mar 12, 2008 at 2:20 PM. Reason: spelling
You dont need to be pro at doing many things. My suggestion for those raised spots is to file or sand them off. If the surface gets really thin, add fiberglass to it. If you poke a hole in one part while filing, just glue in a piece of cardboard behind it and add body filler and smooth it out. So its not that much TLC to get this working but.
Progress pix:
I'm not sure which bumps and depressions to fill in on the top of dome and the back of the helmet. (obviously not THE big dent) Any suggestions?

High Rolling On The RiverChuck Hawkins
Michael D. Rose doesn't seem like a high roller: He's a 51-year-old Harvard Law School graduate. Nor does Promus Cos., the gaming and hotel company of which he is chief executive, seem like your typical casino operation: Its headquarters are in a restored Memphis mansion, far from the green baize and glitz of Vegas. Maybe that's why Rose is so eager to ride what he sees as a great shift in the gaming industry: Growth in casino gambling, Rose believes, will move away from the conventional confines of Las Vegas and Atlantic City and into the great American heartland as states increasingly allow limited gambling for the sake of added tax revenue. Best known for its Harrah's hotel-casinos, Promus plans to launch seven riverboats and other small dockside casinos in the coming year to serve communities in America's midsection (table). The first of these new regional casinos, Harrah's Northern Star, began operating on May 4 in Joliet, Ill.
Revenue from casino gambling nationwide surged almost 15% last year, to $10.8 billion, and Promus estimates it will top $12 billion this year. Analysts say riverboat and dockside casinos are poised for dramatic growth for the remainder of the decade. That's why Promus has already committed $267 million so far for riverboat projects and is prepared to hike its $877 million in long-term debt to fund further growth. Boasts Rose: "We're creating the first truly nationwide gaming brand name."
So far, Wall Street has been impressed. Promus stock has more than tripled in the past 12 months, to around 40 after a 2-for-1 split, or a stratospheric 60 times earnings. Morgan Stanley & Co. analyst Kurt A. Feuerman estimates earnings could rise 38% this year, to $72 million, as revenues climb 12%, to $1.2 billion. "It's a tremendously well-articulated strategy for regional gaming," he says.
'INHERENT INSTABILITY.' The odds aren't all in Rose's favor, though. While the gaming industry is booming, experts warn of an almost certain shakeout. With three more megacasino complexes opening soon in Las Vegas and with regional competitors multiplying, total U.S. casino-industry capacity could virtually double in the next 18 months. "Riverboats are a gold mine now, so there's a frenzy going on," says Raymond C. Avonsino Jr., president of Hilton Hotels Corp., which plans to open riverboat casinos in New Orleans and Kansas City. "But five years down the road, they won't all be profitable."
Rose is convinced that his brand-name strategy and strong management team position Promus to be among the winners. "They've done their homework, and they have an enviable reputation," agrees Saul F. Leonard, an influential industry consultant. "That should give them first crack at the better places as they open up."
Rose figures that most of the 35 states now operating lotteries eventually will allow some form of casino gambling. Besides the lure of added tax revenues, he believes state lawmakers will view casinos as a desirable amenity for major cities, not unlike racetracks or professional sports teams. Gaming experts agree that legalized gambling will spread--though they caution that the industry could face a political backlash. "There may be an inherent instability to the industry," says William R. Eadington, director of the Institute for Gambling & Commercial Gaming at the University of Nevada at Reno.
In addition, much of the 1992 industry growth came not in traditional casinos but in gaming on Indian reservations. That's why Promus is also testing the waters on reservations. Last December, it signed a tentative agreement with the Ak-Chin Indian Community to develop and manage an $18 million casino complex on its reservation outside Phoenix. And it bought 20% of a company that sells slot machines to reservation casinos.
Gambling hasn't always been the centerpiece at Rose's company. Formerly known as Holiday Corp., the company retired the Holiday name in 1990, when Rose sold its maturing Holiday Inn hotel chain to British brewer Bass PLC. Nowadays, gaming accounts for 80% of revenues and 79% of operating income, with hotels making up the rest.
While riverboats sound exotic, Rose believes they're a fairly conservative venture. In Illinois, which approved riverboat gaming in 1991, only 10 casino licenses will be issued, holding competition to a minimum. True, the state is imposing a stiff 20% tax on riverboat operators' net winnings, more than double the 8% to 9% average in Nevada. But with fewer rivals, promotional costs should be low.
Although Promus now operates casinos in the U.S. only, Rose has set his sights on international markets, too. Promus' bid to land a license for a small casino in Auckland, New Zealand, is a sort of test case to "show what we can do," says Promus President Philip G. Satre. It's also in the running for a casino that Ontario plans to open in Windsor, across the river from Detroit. Other contenders include Hilton, Circus Circus Enterprises, Bally, and Trump. And Promus is eyeing the European Community, depending on how rules for the single market develop.
ROOM SERVICE. Rose also is pushing hard to expand Promus' noncasino hotel chains. The company now operates 467 Hampton Inns, Embassy Suites, and Homewood Suites hotels. In the face of a nationwide hotel glut, Rose is banking on a value approach. Hampton Inns hotels, for instance, have no restaurants, and the price averages $40 a night, compared with $55 at midmarket chains such as Ramada and Best Western. As a result, average occupancy at Promus' chains was 71% in 1992, compared with the industry's 63%.
Still, Rose's main focus remains gaming. Despite the fear of overcapacity, other big players, including Circus Circus, ITT Sheraton, and Hilton are eyeing riverboats. Promus also has to deal with a crop of new, smaller contenders that are scrambling to take advantage of gambling markets. Casino America Inc., for example, launched its first riverboat last July.
Rose is betting that Promus has the savvy and strategy to ride through any industry shakeout. Maybe so. But investors ought to remember something every gambler should know: No winning streak lasts forever.

AZUSA - Azusa High School pitcher Marissa Chavez survived inning after inning against two-time Montview League champion Duarte on Monday before the Falcons finally got to her in the seventh.
After giving up a leadoff hit to Guadalupe Valdez, the Falcons' Gaby Avina sacrificed Valdez to second and, a strikeout later, Brianna Lopez hit a go-ahead, two-out double to left to score Valdez.
Lopez later scored on a wild pitch and that was all the Falcons needed to squeeze out a 2-0 victory and improve to 10-2 and 5-0 in league.
Duarte is ranked seventh in the CIF-Southern Section Division 5.
"She's (Lopez) been there and done that before," Falcons coach Paul Viteri. "I expect that from her. She hit a line drive out to third that could have gone for extra bases earlier, so she was due."
Chavez allowed only three hits, but she had to battle out of trouble several times.
After an error and consecutive hit batters loaded the bases in the third inning, the Aztecs got out of it with an inning-ending double play.
Chavez walked two batters in a row to open the fourth but then got back-to-back strikeouts and a groundout to get out of the inning.
Duarte's Mikayla Tickey couldn't score after a one-out double in the fifth and the Aztecs escaped the sixth with another double play after putting runners on with a walk and hit batter.
Azusa dropped to 4-2 and 3-1 in league.
"She (Chavez) was our closer last year and has taken on the starting role and has done a fabulous job," Aztecs coach Lisa Montes said. "We couldn't of asked for more from her, she did a great job. I just wish we could have scored a few runs for her."
For Viteri, it was only a matter of time before they pushed a run across after squandering so many scoring opportunities.
"You have to give Azusa credit, they graduated a lot of players and they came to play today," Viteri said. "We hit the ball hard but they made some plays out there. We know we're a better hitting team than this, but as they game wore on we put a lot of pressure on ourselves."
Fortunately for the Falcons, pitcher Kaysie Gatlin was steady in scattering five hits in her complete-game shutout.
"We worked on a game plan for our hitting because she's (Gatlin) all about hitting her spots," Montes said. "We just didn't execute it. We worked really hard, it's just unfortunate. She hit her spots and we couldn't make contact and when we did we popped it up."

The Hunchback of Notre Dame HTML version
4. The Inconveniences Of Following A Pretty Woman Through
The Streets In The Evening
Gringoire set out to follow the gypsy at all hazards. He had seen her,
accompanied by her goat, take to the Rue de la Coutellerie; he took the Rue de
la Coutellerie.
"Why not?" he said to himself.
Gringoire, a practical philosopher of the streets of Paris, had noticed that nothing
is more propitious to revery than following a pretty woman without knowing
whither she is going. There was in this voluntary abdication of his freewill, in this
fancy submitting itself to another fancy, which suspects it not, a mixture of
fantastic independence and blind obedience, something indescribable,
intermediate between slavery and liberty, which pleased Gringoire,--a spirit
essentially compound, undecided, and complex, holding the extremities of all
extremes, incessantly suspended between all human propensities, and
neutralizing one by the other. He was fond of comparing himself to Mahomet's
coffin, attracted in two different directions by two loadstones, and hesitating
eternally between the heights and the depths, between the vault and the
pavement, between fall and ascent, between zenith and nadir.
If Gringoire had lived in our day, what a fine middle course he would hold
between classicism and romanticism!
But he was not sufficiently primitive to live three hundred years, and 'tis a pity.
His absence is a void which is but too sensibly felt to-day.
Moreover, for the purpose of thus following passers-by (and especially female
passers-by) in the streets, which Gringoire was fond of doing, there is no better
disposition than ignorance of where one is going to sleep.
So he walked along, very thoughtfully, behind the young girl, who hastened her
pace and made her goat trot as she saw the bourgeois returning home and the
taverns--the only shops which had been open that day--closing.
"After all," he half thought to himself, "she must lodge somewhere; gypsies have
kindly hearts. Who knows?--"
And in the points of suspense which he placed after this reticence in his mind,
there lay I know not what flattering ideas.
Meanwhile, from time to time, as he passed the last groups of bourgeois closing
their doors, he caught some scraps of their conversation, which broke the thread
of his pleasant hypotheses.
Now it was two old men accosting each other.
"Do you know that it is cold, Master Thibaut Fernicle?" (Gringoire had been
aware of this since the beginning of the winter.)
"Yes, indeed, Master Boniface Disome! Are we going to have a winter such as
we had three years ago, in '80, when wood cost eight sous the measure?"
"Bah! that's nothing, Master Thibaut, compared with the winter of 1407, when it
froze from St. Martin's Day until Candlemas! and so cold that the pen of the
registrar of the parliament froze every three words, in the Grand Chamber! which
interrupted the registration of justice."

Peers are key for autistic kids, researcher says
Talk will address research at an Irvine conference this weekend.
The best way to help autistic students fit in at school is by training the child's typical peers, says Connie Kasari, a professor of psychological studies in education at UCLA.
Kasari will be speaking about peer interventions at a lecture sponsored by Children's Hospital of Orange County, UCI and the Grandparents Autism Network on Saturday.
Her work focuses on developing social-emotional skills in atypical children, and her most recent research studied social interventions in public school settings. She followed 60 elementary students with high-functioning autism for six weeks, and found that providing social skills training and one-on-one aides to autistic children isn't enough. The research suggests that helping autistic children is a greater issue than can be solved by parents and schools working together, but requires larger public policy reform.
She spoke to us about the research. More information about the conference Saturday, including other topics that will be discussed, is here: www.ocregister.com/articles/autism-grandparents-information-2291676-conference-re
Q. Tell me about the research you do.
A. I've done a lot of experiments with students trying to understand their feelings about their friends, and feelings of loneliness in schools. I'm going to talk about our randomized trial, short term, 60 kids with autism, to try to figure out which treatment is most affective in keeping the kids connected to the social networks in the class. We really think of those high-functioning kids as being underserved in the public schools because they often get very little support.
Q. You had the most success working with typical peers. What does that mean?
A. We would identify three typical kids in the classroom. Parents would give consent and then we would talk to those kids about how to be a good friend. We didn't even identify for them the children with autism as the kid we were targeting. Those typical peers make a difference.
When we worked with a child with autism alone, it was no better than just inclusion. Those kids didn't really change in the course of six weeks of intervention.
The implications of this are, we think that having one-on-one aides in classrooms stigmatizes and marks autistic students. So maybe our best intervention is to intervene with the classroom as a whole, the teachers, the aides, the students. While our kids need some social skills intervention, if the environment isn't ready to receive them, it goes nowhere.
Q. This isn't something a parent can ask for in an IEP meeting, though. What is the motivation for schools to take this on?
A. In the end, it's more cost effective. We recommend they have an autism consultant they employ to handle these things. There are some good examples that in school districts, having that person changes things from the inside, as opposed to having outside agencies providing all the one-on-one aides, which doesn't seem to be a very effective practice.

Tang Band W5-1685 BIB?
1 Attachment(s)
Can someone talk me out of building these please. I have had my eye on these drivers for a while.
Tang Band W5-1685 BIB with a helper tweeter crossed at 9K ish..
I wouldn't be the guy to talk you out of this, so I have to ask: did you build them? If so, how do they sound.
I've built two sets of BiBs, a set of fonkens and a set of half changs; I like the less ordinary builds. My "prettiest" BiBs don't sound good, so I'm thinking I'd like to pull the driver, a Tang Band W4-657SH, and replace it with a Mark Audio CHR-70 (the BiBs are pretty close in size according to Zilla's calculator).
You will need room inside the BIB for the magnet on that TB. Measure twice and build once. What kind of tweeter are you thinking about using?
Thanks for the info. I was thinking I won't need a tweeter, but if I do, I'll probably add a piezo and play around with its placement. Any suggestions? Have you heard anything about anyone using CHR 70 in a BiB?
You'll certainly need a tweeter on the TB, above all for off-axis performance; that massive surround will make the off-axis power-response dodgy at best, especially in the HF; in practice I suspect they'll be falling off a cliff above 10KHz or so. TB themselves class it as a midbass, not an FR, although you should be able to cross higher than most midbass units, which is a good thing.
Did not end up building these. My SO and I moved to a new house with polished hardwood floors in the living room. So now i have been advised that everything that looks like a speaker or a T.V. needs to be up off the floor and wall mounted. Apparently she likes looking at as much of the pretty shiny floor as possible. I noticed that Dan Archer (Mark Audio Dealer for Australia..) now has stock of the Gen II chr70's so it looks like i will be doing a full set (7) of sealed wall mounts + subs using those. Still waiting for an authorised funds release for the project however...

Green Coffee Bean Max Review
If you saw one of the more recent Dr. Oz episodes you probably saw him recommending Green Coffee Beans as a weight loss remedy. Some are already referring to it as the Magical Bean. But why is Dr. Oz recommending Green Coffee Beans as a weight loss remedy?
What is Green Coffee Bean?
So you are probably wondering what is the difference between Green Coffee Beans and a normal coffee bean. What is Green Coffee Bean? Well the answer to this question lies in the roasting process. A green coffee bean is simply an unroasted coffee bean.
Over the past several centuries, cultures have come to agree that roasting coffee beans leads to an enhanced taste of their coffee. As a regular coffee drinker myself, I enjoy many different flavors of coffee on a regular basis and I would agree that roasted coffee tastes better than unroasted coffee beans.
But what is the difference between a roasted coffee bean and an unroasted coffee bean? The roasting process involves taking the green coffee beans and exposing them to extreme heat for a set amount of time. Depending the desired roast level the temperature can range anywhere from 200-500 degrees Fahrenheit, and the roasting time is generally 3-30 minutes.
As you can see green coffee bean is exposed to intense heat in the roasting process which effectively has two results:
- Enhanced coffee taste
It is commonly agreed that roasted coffee beans lead to a better tasting coffee. Some may agree, some may disagree, but this is essentially what society has agreed upon and has become pretty much standard.
- Reduced nutritional benefits
While roasting green coffee beans may lead to enhanced taste, the temperature exposure takes a serious toll on the nutritional contents of the raw natural green coffee bean. One notable characteristic of roasting coffee beans is the reduction of caffeine content. In general the longer a coffee bean is roasted the less caffeine the bean will contain.
In addition to the roasting process reducing caffeine content of the green coffee bean, several key nutrients are destroyed. Chlorogenic Acid is one of the main lactones found in green coffee beans that has been isolated and proven to lead to weight loss. Roasting green coffee bean basically destroys all of the chlorogenic acid in the roasted coffee you are drinking, and is the main reason why drinking roasted coffee does not help you lose weight.
Can Green Coffee Bean help me lose weight?
In the past few years, and increasingly in recent months their has been extensive research done on the effects of green coffee beans. Ubiquitous results found from many major universities and medical institutions point to a similar result, Green Coffee Bean assist in weight loss.
Many professionals and well known individuals in the medical field such as Dr. Oz are calling green coffee beans the "magical bean" and hailing it as a miracle weight loss remedy. Personally I believe that a good diet and regular exercise are a great start to weight loss and essential to maintain a healthy body, and supplements are always a great addition to a great lifestyle.
With so much supporting evidence of Green Coffee Bean aiding weight loss and well known doctors with a good reputation promoting its use it can be hard to ignore. If your looking for a health supplement to help you lose weight green coffee beans might be exactly what you have been searching for.
The Green Coffee Bean Solution
So roasted coffee tastes better, but natural green coffee beans contain the nutritional benefits that are proven to help you lose weight. The question becomes "how can I gain the nutritional benefits found in green coffee beans and still enjoy my coffee?".
The answer to that question is found in green coffee bean extract. Green Coffee Bean extract essentially squeezes all of the nutritional benefits of green coffee beans into an extract that you can take several time a day. Now you can continue to drink your great tasting coffee, and supplement your diet with the extracted nutritional benefits found in the bean.
Their is an extensive amount of research in the medical field and universities around the world in the past few years suggesting that consumption of green coffee beans extract leads to weight loss.
If you want to lose weight you might want to consider giving green coffee bean max a try.
