AUBURN (CBS13) – A 14-year-old boy was arrested for lewd and lascivious acts against two other children at an Auburn daycare on Tuesday and the center was shut down by the state.
The boy, whose name was not released because of his age, was taken into custody by Placer County sheriff's detectives at Colored Pencils Preschool and Child Care at 13335 Luther Road. The boy, who is related to the preschool owner, lives in the home that is part of the daycare center.
The boy was questioned at the Placer County Sheriff's Office and then was going to be booked at Placer County Juvenile Hall in Auburn.
"These are your neighbors," said a father who didn't want to be identified. "These are people who are supposed to look out for neighborhood children."
State documents obtained by CBS13 show the owner, Alma Arroyo, was confronted with allegations the teen molested children at her daycare. But investigators say she reported nothing, not a word to police or the state.
"She let it go on for so long, if it was going on," the father said. "Her son was always there, the son of the daycare director. Who knows how long it's been going on?"
That enraged father had his 3-year-old daughter enrolled there for about a year.
He says he pulled her out several weeks ago after hearing disturbing rumors about the 14-year-old boy.
Neighbors never saw this coming.
"Shoots baskets, just a regular guy," one man said of the teen.
"And you've never seen anything that makes you think twice one way or another?" CBS13's Nick Janes asked.
"No way."
The state Department of Social Services' complaint alleges at least once in June or July the 14-year-old molested two children.
The father we spoke with is sick to his stomach with worry his little girl could be another victim because of what she's told him.
"Hopefully there will be justice for any kid that was victimized," he said.
Now what was supposed to be a safe haven for young children is shut down, possibly for good.
If Social Services has its way, Arroyo will never own or work in a licensed child care facility again. Colored Pencils has been licensed since 2005, according to the state.
"And how unresponsible are you to run a child care, leave your 14-year-old, 15-year-old, whatever, by himself with a whole bunch of little kids, none older than 8 years old?" the father questioned.
Arroyo didn't return calls for comment.

I have dry, sensitive + eczema prone skin and this was really gentle but also had a good scrubby element to it for being so soft on my skin. I'm not a sugar scrub fan so this was really something that got the job done without being oily at all. My only real complaint is that since it's kinda paste-like it falls off sometimes before I can rub it in! Other than that, I love this and the tub is a pretty good size.4

The Sunny T'Sou-ke First Nation Loves Solar Power
During the salmon run the T'Sou-ke First Nation set up their nets on one side of the river and the bears set up shop on the other. And it's not as acrimonious as you would think.
Respect the bear and the bear will respect you says Chief Gordon Planes. He's the leader of this small reserve of about 250 people located about 45 minutes southwest of Victora.
It's with this approach to the world that the T'Sou-ke developed a community plan that led them to build the largest solar photovoltaic project in B.C. and cut their energy use by 75 per cent.
"Our vision is to get back to where our people were dependent on the elements that the creator gave us, and that is the wind, the sun and the tides. We were able to use those energies in the past with a light footprint and I think it's good for us to go full circle and come back to that because I think if anything we all need to do that," says Planes.
The T'Sou-ke First Nation embarked on a two-year process to build a new community vision. After dozens of sessions and more than a year of process the T'Sou-ke agreed to focus on four things:
- Energy self-sufficiency;
- Food self sufficiency;
- A renaissance of culture and language and
- Economic self-sufficiency
With this vision in place the T'Sou-ke tackled the challenge of energy self-sufficiency with gusto. A few years ago they installed 75-kilowatts of solar PV on several buildings. At the time it was the largest solar PV system in the province.
Solar energy is sexy (especially when compared to things like insulation) and this project attracted money and attention. After the solar PV project there was a solar hot water project for 40 homes and then the kicker -- a community energy conservation and efficiency program that cut energy use by 75 per cent.
"I often say we did our whole project backwards. We started with the photovoltaics, which are quite expensive...And then we suddenly realized once we had done all that, that that the key to the whole project is saving energy as opposed to producing it. So if you can save energy it costs a tenth of a price to save as it does to produce," says Andrew Moore. Moore is a resident of the town of Sooke and a former architect from London, England who helped the T'Sou-ke develop and implement the plan.
Solar panels are a lot easier to sell than insulation, air sealing and air source heat pumps, but it really is the energy conservation that does the heavy lifting.

Before embarking on a major green energy project the T'Sou-ke First Nation spent more than a year coming up with a new vision for the next 100 years. They are striving for energy, food, economic self-sufficiency and a renaissance of culture. Photo David Dodge

The energy efficiency pyramid – conserve electricity first, and then generate electricity from renewable sources once you have installed the most energy efficiency devices and conserved as much energy as you can through behavior changes. Photo David Dodge
And engaging with solar now is a smart play. Shell Oil's most recent energy scenario predicts that solar will comprise 37.7 per cent of the world's energy supply by 2100.
"I think what we're trying to achieve is something that is not just for us, it's for all those future generations and I think that's the key, 100 years ahead is what we always what we strive to look ahead for," says Planes.
With significant community buy-in the T'Sou-ke started a very successful public and student education program. The students "get it more than the adults" and they are more than happy to encourage the adults to help save energy. Pulling up to the band office in your car you are greeted by small signs that say things like "Idling is fuelish."
In the band hall there are large posters with trees on them carrying dozens of paper leaves detailing all the ways kids and adults alike have committed to saving energy. Things like "unplug my chargers," "I will turn off the light," and "I will ride my bike to my friend's house instead of being driven."
The road to net-zero for the T'Sou-ke office buildings was paved with lessons learned from the energy efficiency pyramid. And while the technology is important " the major shift that's happened is that a real change in awareness and behaviour of the community members," says Moore.
The program also had social benefits. Nine people from the T'Sou-ke community became certified solar installers as part of the project.
If busloads of students and visiting researchers from universities are any indication folks are paying attention to what the T'Sou-ke are doing.
The T'Sou-ke are committed to the idea of education in this project so they invited all of the First Nations of B.C. to come to a gathering to celebrate their energy self sufficiency project, along with politicians from neighbouring municipalities.
The surrounding City of Colwood was so impressed they partnered with the T'Sou-ke and other jurisdictions to start the Solar Colwood Project to retrofit 1,000 more homes in the surrounding municipality to get them as close to net zero as possible.
To some the idea of spending years coming up with a community vision might try their patience. But the T'Sou-ke took their time, came up with a bold community vision and executed it with very high levels of community support. Their vision is so compelling they have students, universities and other governments looking over their shoulder and making the trek to their small reserve to see what all the fuss is about.
The T'Sou-ke are OK with all of the attention. They have even started offering add-ons like salmon feasts to the people and groups touring their near net-zero reserve. Respect the bear and there's enough salmon for everyone.

(JTA) — Rabbi Jonathan Sacks was praised by a Catholic cardinal and then blessed by a Mormon apostle.
The former British chief rabbi was being honored by the Becket Fund for Religious Liberty, a Washington-based public interest law firm that's been busy representing clients — such as Hobby Lobby — who say their religious freedoms are being trampled by the government.
The crowd gathered last week at Manhattan's Pierre hotel may not have shared a dogma — one could spot yarmulkes, Sikh turbans, clerical collars and nuns' habits in the room — but they did have a common concern. And Sacks made clear that he shared that concern.
"Today, I'm sad to say that that liberty is at risk throughout Europe," he said in his keynote speech, during which he accepted the Becket Fund's Canterbury Medal. Sacks explained:
In Britain, we have seen a worker banned from wearing a small crucifix at work. A nurse was censured for offering to utter a prayer on behalf of one of her patients. The Catholic adoption agencies were forced to close because they were unwilling to place children for adoption to same-sex parents. And as far as Judaism is concerned, religious liberty has been under very serious threat indeed. We have seen shechitah — the Jewish way of killing animals — banned in Denmark. We have seen circumcision banned by a court in Germany. These are liberties Jews have enjoyed throughout Europe for centuries. And this is for me the empirical proof that this deeply secularizing Europe, that the secular societies in Europe are much less tolerant than the religions that they accuse of intolerance.
Sacks noted that the threat from what he called "political correctness" also extended to America.
"Look at what has happened in this country to people merely because they oppose same-sex marriage, or they gave a donation to a body that opposed same -sex marriage," he said, an apparent reference to the controversy that last month forced the resignation of the newly appointed chief of the Internet company Mozilla.
Sacks recently finished his tenure as chief rabbi and moved across the pond to teach at NYU and Yeshiva University. In Britain, Sacks had used his pulpit and erudition to establish himself as one of the country's leading public intellectuals, a widely respected voice on issues related to religion and society.
From his reception at the Becket Fund, it was clear that he had garnered some admirers on these shores as well. In his brief speech, New York's Cardinal Timothy Dolan praised Sacks: "I don't know of a man who understands the theology of Pope Benedict XVI more than you do."
Later, Sacks was blessed by D. Todd Christofferson, an member of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, who praised the rabbi's work as he offered the event's closing prayer.

2 Days to Vegas
From: Steel Monkeys
Who did: Rocky
And live in: Minsk, Belarus
Since sending ripples of excitement through the gaming world in mid-2005 with a handful of astonishing screenshots, it's all gone quiet on the 2 Days... front. One of the Steel Monkeys devs did hold court on a forum answering questions about the online elements, but it was all in Russian. Niet!
Offline the game has you playing as a newly-released felon and it's set in various US cities over the course of 48 hours. The spiel reads like a mixture of Driver and GTA but with no word of a release date and no new info for an age, we're beginning to worry...
Car chases, well known cities, gun battles and stunning screenshots: great. No fresh info for a year: troubling.

Seven years of meetings, hearings and hard choices have led them to this point.
Members of Pima County's Bond Advisory Committee may not be exactly back at square one, but they're about to embark on a process that sure has the feeling of starting over.
It soon will begin a one-year planning process to be ready for a 2014 bond election.
Over several years, the group whittled $3 billion of proposed projects down to 93 projects in a $650 million package to be submitted to voters.
But year after year, bond- election plans were stalled, mostly due to the poor economy. In that time, 11 projects sat on the list so long they've been built using other funding sources.
Other projects are no longer priorities now that the economy has been reshaped by the recession, and there's a new and urgent need for jobs. And the cost or scope of some projects has changed drastically since they were originally approved. County Administrator Chuck Huckelberry wants some projects to be re-justified, he told the committee.
All of which means the committee, which is responsible for selecting projects for the bond package, is dusting off a draft list it started in 2006 and putting almost everything back on the table, along with a host of new projects expected to come from cities, towns and citizen groups.
The committee has gone through an extensive and difficult process, Chairman Larry Hecker said of the nearly seven years of planning thus far, requiring "a great deal of meticulous attention to each project."
"And this wasn't just a wish list," he said. "These were all very important and essential capital projects" submitted by governments and private groups alike.
At a meeting this month the committee agreed to a one-year work plan, beginning in May, to carve out a final list of bond projects worth about $500 million.
The group has asked local governments to update their project proposals and submit new projects by mid-April.
"We're not starting from scratch. We're going to pick up where we left off," Hecker said. "But times have changed; circumstances have changed."
Pima County had proposed a $50 million court building that it is now funding internally, and a $9 million sports park project that's getting built through public-private partnerships.
Huckelberry wants to add two projects to stimulate the economic recovery of the aerospace and tourism industries.
Marana wants to drop two requests for drainage project money and instead request money for a community center.
The committee expects to hear similar changes from the city of Tucson and other governments.
It's frustrating, but it's no one's fault, said committee member Ted Prezelski. The economic downturn hit, and the time hasn't been right to ask voters to approve bond spending.
When property values dropped, so did the county's bonding capacity, so that put a bond election on hold, Hecker said.
Now the committee must beware of perceptions that previously approved projects could get cut to make room for new projects, Prezelski said.
"People have been coming to us literally for years explaining the needs of their communities, and we've said no, and now we have this new package coming in. I don't think that's going to sit well with people," he said.
The final package should be broad, giving everyone a reason to vote for it, he said, noting that's the philosophy that has made the last few bond packages winners.
how process will unfold
March - Bond Advisory Committee hears the results of a performance audit of past bond projects.
April and May - Governments update old project lists, and the committee examines new project proposals.
Summer and fall - Committee holds 10 to 15 public meetings and hearings to finalize a list of bond projects, asks local governments to endorse the package, and sends the package to the Board of Supervisors.
November 2014 - Pima County holds a bond election.
Late 2015 - First bond money available to spend.

From fringe forward at the start of the season, Dominic Moore has elevated himself to the point that he is being mentioned as a potential trade candidate for Maple Leafs general manager Brian Burke.
Moore, who is enjoying a career season and deserves credit for helping revive Leafs' leading scorer Jason Blake, becomes an unrestricted free agent on July 1.
"You can block (trade talk) out but I think you are better off acknowledging that these things are out there," Moore said yesterday. "You can't run from the questions."
Moore has been moved on trade deadline day before. In 2007 he was dealt from Pittsburgh to Minnesota for a third-round pick.
Rookie Leafs defenceman Luke Schenn acknowledges it has been a rough couple of weeks, a stretch in which he has been minus-5 over the past five games and has been on the ice for some important goals by the opposition.
But Schenn vows that the odd off night isn't going to drag him down, especially as he continues to play in key situations and often against the opposition's top lines.
"A couple of games I've got some bad breaks, but the ability to bounce back is what I'm more worried about," Schenn said yesterday. "That's in the past. You have 82 games and not every game is going to be your best. It's how you respond that matters."
Saturday's five-goal third-period outburst against the Pittsburgh Penguins did more than hasten the firing of Pens coach Michel Therrien, it was a rare feat. It marked only the third time in franchise history that the Leafs had trailed after 40 minutes before outscoring their opponent by five in the final period. The previous time was a 7-1 win versus the Detroit Red Wings in 1960, the other a 6-3 win over the Montreal Canadiens in 1936 ... Leafs defenceman Ian White's plus-5 rating in the Pens game matched the single-game high by any player in the NHL this season ... Call it the day of the weak. After last night's loss to the Buffalo Sabres, the Leafs now have a 2-8-4 record on Tuesdays, easily their worst day of the week.

quote:The scary thing for me is I think Les Miles has formulated his process. And we have been looking at it since the days of JJ/JL forward. And the magnum opus was seen on 1/9. We lost by 21 then. We lost by 21 to Alabama last week. Bookends.
Saban is a better coach today than he was when he was at LSU, but after five plus years in the SEC, he's formulated his "process". I would not expect a similar formulation from Miles.
I believe that Saban is a better coach today than he was when he was at LSU
Prepare to be insulted at every turn and have your intelligence and manhood challenged as well!!!
This will go well
quote:Wow. 13-0 regular season, lots of blowouts in the SEC, several big OOC wins (away from Tiger Stadium, no less); that, combined with his BCS title in 07 and 4 additional 11 win seasons ....
5- 2011 was the best miles was ever going to be and he blew it at the end
5 - Miles is Average as a coach - and we've seen the best of him at LSU

Learning Communities
The departments of Arts and Sciences and Business and Information Technologies will be offering a learning community combining ENG 0990 (Preparation for College Writing II) and OIS 1200 (Computer Basics) for Winter Quarter 2010. This combination of classes ran as a learning community last winter quarter and was a wonderful learning opportunity for students.
Along with learning the course content of each class, students developed strong relationships with fellow students and with the instructors. Students met college personnel from other departments, and they had the opportunity to meet with Dr. Bryson. These students gained an insight into MTC that other students were unable to gain.
If you know of any student who needs these two classes, please encourage them to join the learning community. The combined classes will meet on Mondays and Wednesdays from 9 AM until noon. They are designated on the winter schedule with the letters LC in the section number.
ACT score is key to college funding and access ACT intensive prep workshop available for central/north central Ohio area students.

The workshop will help better prepare high school juniors and seniors who are preparing to take their college entrance exam. As students achieve higher ACT scores, they can expect to receive higher financial aid packages from colleges where they apply and also improve their opportunities for being accepted by their first-choice colleges. Total cost to attend the six hour workshop is $75 in advance or $85 at the door.
Instructing the ACT programs for the I CAN Center of Excellence is Michael Short. Short is a Master Tutor in a number of subjects including the ACT and SAT. He scores in the 99th percentile on these tests. He is currently employed at the University of Louisville as a college coach for a new college access program, GO College--Louisville. He has worked in higher education since graduating from Campbellsville University in 1980. Short was employed by The Ohio State University at Marion between 2001 and 2011. During his tenure at Ohio State Marion, he was instrumental in expanding Marion's local college access network I CAN Go to College into the current regional college access program the I CAN Center of Excellence.
Applications for the workshop are available through high school guidance counselors or online at http://icancenter.org/act_prep.html. Those who have yet to register should send the registration fee along with their name, address, phone number and e-mail address to:

After making my own morning smoothies for while with fresh fruit I thought I would try some thing like this as buying fresh fruit can be a pain. Being quite expensive I thought I would try this sample before maybe moving onto the large bag. Like many other reviews this green stuff is super sweet. I have a major sweet tooth but even for me this stuff was way too much. I couldn't even finish it. Once mixed it smells amazing but I just couldn't hack the taste. Cant really comment on the effectiveness as it was a sample but I imagine it works really well. Goes Well With:Water
So I purchased the breakfast smoothies as a sample to see if I could possibly do this instead of having a breakfast roll or porridge for quickness. When I initially seen the contents, I was thinking "oh no" as the colouring doesn't look too appealing. It blends really well when shaken. I was still a tad apprehensive to drink it, but did. The drink actually smells really nice. I took a big sip of the drink and thought, "wow, that's not too bad". After a minute or two, I instantly thought it was quite sickenly sweet. I attempted a 2nd mouthful of the drink and couldn't stomach any more. I am a lover of all things sweet, but this was too much to take. I would either end up ill or in a sugar high if I attempted to drink the full thing (300ml). If you are interested in that sort of thing, I would suggest getting the sample before purchasing the full bag of sachets. Or purchase the protein smoothie. It is a lot nicer and defo not as sweet!Goes Well With:Nothing
hi , i think the flavours a bit strange, its like drinking muddy water and has far to much caffeine in for me. but its a nice easy way to have breakfast and ill keep my eye out for similar products(with less or no caffeine )
Tasted great, highly recommended. Tried the sample pack first and will now more than likely be purchasing a full bag with my next order. Goes Well With:I just had it with half whole milk half water but the taste seemed like it would go well with a lot of different things.
I actually really like the taste of these when mixed with milk. I blend it with milk and extra fruit plus lots of ice as they taste better colder. Keeps me full until snack time!Goes Well With:Milk, soya milk, extra fruit
Found this product to be much better than i imagined,the mix went very well i left it in the fridge for the recommended time 15 mins ,gave it a good shake ,popped open the cap and out came a scent of fresh berries,(great smells) took the 1st taste and was so impressed with the great taste .Would recommend this to anyone . Goes Well With:Go,s well on its own
I found this product very effective and efficient, firstly the website was very easy to navigate to I could easily find the product which I was looking for, and even if I wasn't looking for something in particular there was a great range of products to choose from.Secondly, the great offers with regards to this product and others made it very enticing, and attracted me to the product.With regards to the actual product itself, I found the taste alright, I may have chosen the wrong flavour but that's my personal opinion, the texture and mix ability of the product was second to none, and I had no hiccups in the process. I drank it in a my protein shaker cup(which I would also reccomend) and when enjoyed chilled, I would highly recommend this product. Great for not only a breakfast smoothie but also a pre/post workout meal. thanks.Goes Well With:Fruit and cereal, or any other typical breakfast.
Mixes well and tastes great. Set me up for the day.
im scottish, we LOVE sugar! But this was too sweet even for an Irn Bru lovin girl. Mixed OK, handy sample size pack I tried but I had to dilute more (with almond milk) than recommended to make it drinkable. great for morning rush, easy to use and caffeine kick...needs less sweetness thoGoes Well With:water or unsweetened milks
I buy a lot of mp products, I love the pancake mix, the dessert, the hot drinks and the protein shakes so I bought the breakfast smoothie sample to try and I'm so glad I didn't buy any more than that, it mixed quite well and smelt nice but the taste is awful, I tried so hard to drink it so as not to waste it but I just couldn't finish it, I have a sweet tooth so when I read the reviews about it being too sweet I thought it would be ok but it just tastes really horrible. It is very sickly sweet.Goes Well With:Nothing
I was excited to try this product as rhe nutritionals looked good and it seemed such a quick and easy breakfast on the go. It mixed fairly well but not completely smooth and when mixed smelt amazing. However, the taste is just awful. Tastes very synthetic and chemically and way to sweet! I do have a sweet tooth but this was way too much and put me off. Can't really comment on effectiveness as I only had a sample and won't buy again due to taste.Goes Well With:Water
I like preparing breakfast ,but some days i just cannot be bothered ...this powder seems perfect as it is easy ,tasty and nutritious Goes Well With:milk
I bought this almost on impulse, read through the ingredients and how to use and thought why not, I'm quite terrible when it comes to breakfast so it would ensure I have something until I get to work and get something from the canteen. Tastes great, mix it with one banana in the Bullet blender and 1 spoon of Manuka honey, goes down a treat! I usually accompany it with a bowl of shreddies and it keeps me good until lunch. Mixes well with water, blending ensures no lumps, you need to give it a good shake if not, and I usually drop the whisk ball in to prevent lumpage! All in all its a good product, I will be buying again once this HUMUNGUS bag has gone lol!Goes Well With:half of Banana 1 spoon of Manuka honey
This stuff while I am sure packed with goodness is disgustingly sweet. It must be full of artificial sweetener. Tastes like medicine. What do supposed health food suppliers think that customers are unable to consume anything healthy unless it is sickly sweet. The downside of the artificial sweetener probably out weighs the benefits of the good stuff. Do not buy this. Glad I only wasted 99p
This product mixed well but it went downhill from there. I physically could not drink this due to the flavour. Far too sweet, it just tasted like the foam banana sweets. Maybe another flavour would be better.Goes Well With:Nothing
I have previously enjoyed the strawberry & banana protein smoothie, so thought I'd try a sample of this. It was vile and undrinkable - the taste was just horrific, I couldn't finish it due to retching.
fantastic product and lovely taste will be buying again
Its was amazing filling, noroshing , and you can feel the caffine kick in the morning which is always a plus during exam season!!!
I purchased this smoothie sample, and tried it for breakfast this morning. It tastes quite nice but, I agree with others, that it is pretty sweet tasting. I would still purchase this again.Goes Well With:Soya milk.
Powder is fine. But the taste is disgusting and to sweet. Like a sugar bombe in mouth.

Fast-food protest: Calling for higher wages
COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. - A group of fast-food workers in Colorado Springs are looking for better pay.
They faced the cold temperatures on Thursday, waving signs and chanting for higher wages. They were taking part in a nationwide effort. Fast food workers are asking to be paid $15 an hour.
Organizers say rallies happened in 100 cities across the country. The group outside of McDonalds on Colorado Avenue, say it's time for a change.
"Everyone deserves the chance and the opportunity to make enough money to feed their families and to better their lives. Minimum wage is not enough to do that," said protester, Molly Garrison.
Meanwhile, the protests are getting support from the white house. During an economic policy speech this week, President Obama mentioned fast-food and retail workers in his call for raising the federal minimum wage.

New York: A new smartphone app that can inform you where your friends are and suggest best possible routes to avoid them has been developed by a US student.
The app named "Hell Is Other People" utilises FourSquare – a location-based social networking website for mobile devices – to track check-ins made by friends to determine the best routes and areas to avoid them.
The experimental anti-social media app was created by Scott Garner, a graduate student at New York University, ABC News reported.
The Web app is simple to use. First, a person connects his or her FourSquare account through "Hell is Other People."
Then, the Web app conjures up an avoidance map. The map contains orange and green points. Orange points indicate check-ins by other users, and green points represent "optimally distanced safe zones," as suggested by the app.
James George, NYU adjunct faculty member, said his final assignment required students to create a system that enabled individuals to behave a certain way.
"I thought it was an amazing interpretation of that idea," George said.
"I think Scott was resistant to doing group projects throughout the class. He was like 'No, I do not want to rely on other people. He was able to turn that personal anxiety and channel it into the concept of that piece," he said.
The thought of an "anti-social media" app may seem ironic, but Garner said the initiative isn't as ridiculous as it seems, the report said.
"In some ways, social media and online media are kind of anti-social in that you are interacting in a virtual space. Some people retreat to Facebook in place of personal interaction. It's something I am trying to explore," he said.

There is no doubt that performing daily exercise can help to lose weight. This has been proven many years ago and still as effective as ever. Indeed, it is beneficial but since not all people have spare time to do exercises, they need to have other weight lose options like going for a low fat diet plan. Low carb diet plan is an ideal meal, designed to help people reduce their carbohydrates and calories intake per day. It sounds easy but the thing is that a lot of people are too dependent on foods that are rich in carb such as rice, bread, and pasta. This had made the idea of low fat meal plan a little challenging.
Recommended Low Fat Meal Plan – The American Heart Association recommends the following traditional low fat meal plan with the purpose of keeping calories to as low as 30%, or even lower. Listed below are some of the ideal low carb meals that you may include in your diet plan. For Breakfast: fruits, fruit juices, skim milk, tea, coffee with low sugar, breakfast cereal or toast with polyunsaturated, mono margarine, or fruit jam spread. Eggs are good if eaten only twice a week. For Lunch: vegetable salad with no-oil dressing, fruits or low fat yoghurt, bean dish, cottage cheese, and drained canned fish. For Dinner: Main dish may contain a small serving of meat (fish or chicken, but be sure to remove all fatty areas). For your side dish, go for mashed potato or vegetable salad. You don't have to be religiously following every bit and detail of the recommended servings above. Go and ask your dietician about the ideal calories, fats, and proteins that you should take per day.
Professional dieticians and nutritionists will calculate your body's nutrition requirements based on your weight and your lifestyle or daily activities. Tips For A Successful Low Carb Diet Plan
* Do not deceive yourself. If you really want to achieve your desired weight by eating low fat foods, then you should not cheat, especially if you are noting down the foods you ate for the day.* Learn to read the labels. There are many calorie calculators available in the market today. These calorie counters can help you identify which food items will suit your diet best by means of reading the labels.
* Create a weekly low fat meal plan and follow. Creating a list of weekly meals can be very easy. But the real deal is if it is properly followed.
* Keep focused. Maintaining the focus on the goal is one of the vital keys in losing weight. As you take the challenging goals to lose weight, you may come across to certain things that could definitely put your determination to tests. Before you give in to any temptations, try to remember that all the things you've done for the sake of losing weight might just go to waste.
* As much as possible, try to do exercises. It is understandable that most people have a tight day to day schedule, but it should not be enough reason for you to ignore your body's needs. There are a lot of simple exercises that you may try to do or just find some time to go for a walk or biking.
* Write down your achievements. Since low fat dieting may take weeks before you notice the positive changes, seeing your achievements in writings can motivate you more. List down what you have accomplished like the low carb meal plans that you had for the last month, exercises you performed, your current weight against last week, and so on. Why Some Low Carb Dieters Fail One of the most common factors why some low carb dieters fail to this particular meal plan is that they tend to eat 1-2 big meals per day. Reducing the number of meals instead of the calories that the foods contain is probably the most misleading diet strategy that is being practiced by many people. Rather than fighting the urge to eat more, it s more recommended to just get used to eating small meals for about 5-6 times per day.
Just be reminded that small meals should not a complete meal. Say for example, you are used to eating lunch or dinner with 1 cup of rice, a bowlful of vegetable salad, a serving of lean meat, and a fruit for dessert. This is actually considered as a perfect meal, but not for those who want to succeed with low fat diet plan. You can still have all of them but not in just one particular meal. It is true that losing weight is never as easy as getting fat, yet, it is obtainable. With the right attitude, positive mind, and strong determination, anybody can succeed in all types of weight lose methods including low fat diet plan on condition that it is done in the right manner.

Real-deal homegrown hip-hop is alive and well in majestic Newport, of all places. Just ask 27-year-old wordsmith Kee-Words, who recently dropped his hefty debut album, MPC, Myself, and I, a stacked 20-track platter.
"That's actually one of the things that inspires me — these preconceived notions of 'typical' Newport," said Kee-Words (aka Keehln Edwards) when I checked in earlier this week and mentioned the regal air of Aquidneck Island. "I like that my music shows that different side that people don't get to see, while being relatable to people who live it."
Edwards was raised in a small apartment in one of the few projects in Newport and became immersed in rap music around age 11 when he bought Biggie's Born Again on cassette and a DJ Red Alert mixtape from the local Walgreens. Shortly after, his uncle Tone Kuiee introduced him to the Music Production Center, or MPC, and Edwards started banging away while becoming increasingly intrigued with the lyrical side of rap music. He attended Rogers High but dropped out in 2003 (eventually earning his GED) and pays the bills as a chef.
Both professions recently coincided when Edwards was cooking at a party where legendary producer Keith Shocklee (of PE's Bomb Squad) was DJing. Kee-Words passed along a copy of his debut to Shocklee.
"I just hope he likes it enough to not use it as a coaster," he cracked.
Kee-Words was inspired by the unique rhyme delivery of guys like Busta, Redman, Andre3000, and Eminem. And, like Marshall Mathers, Kee can capture ears in heart-on-sleeve mode while slaying swag-loving posers. On "Streetlights" he goes in with rapid-fire cadence: "If I ain't in the booth rippin' up a damn record/I'm in the kitchen flippin' pans with my pants checkered." One of the album's best tracks, "Treat Me Bad," follows, with the choice lines, "I'm just maintainin' and survivin' while I'm wilin' on this island but somehow my problems seem to keep on pilin' " and "I rip the mic with bruised hands, ironical cracker buyin' crackers with food stamps." Kee is "on point like Dracula's teeth" on"To Whom It May Concern" and offers a stern reply to his niece when she asks why he doesn't rock "Skinny Jeans": "Never chose to play it safe, music's been my saving grace/Hopefully one day it will save me from making plates."
Edwards addresses his older brother Charles on "Streetlights." He says, "My brother was going through a hard time and decided he was going to post up in our attic and drop notes for me to deliver to his girlfriend," he recalled. "It only lasted a few days and I'm still not sure what the hell he was thinking."
He also penned "Missing You," a heartfelt track for his deceased father. "Writing that song was more of a relief for me because it felt like I actually got to talk to him, but I think it was more difficult for people close to me to listen to," he said.

Deputies honored for service
JONESBOROUGH, Tenn. - Two deputies have medals for their quick thinking during a chase that nearly took one of their lives.
We talked with the two deputies about the event that changed their lives forever.
Washington County, Tennessee Sheriff Ed Graybeal honored the two deputies with two medals for their perseverance and bravery on January 2, 2012.
Sergeant Lee Cross was involved in a chase involving a home robbery suspect. "I was actually on my way to eat lunch, and that call came in and was very close. I just happened to be by that way and passed a car that they gave the [be on the lookout call] out on. I turned around on it, and we all know what happened after that," the sergeant said.
Just down the road, fellow deputy Gary Daugherty was setting up a spike strip to stop the vehicle, when the car careened straight into deputy Daugherty.
"It's a distant memory for me. I don't even think about it, and nothing like that crosses my mind. I'm focused on the future and what I'm doing now, and I'm thankful to be where I'm at," Daugherty said.
He's back on the job and receiving a Purple Heart for being severely injured in the line of duty.
Sergeant Cross was given a medal of accommodation for his heroic actions at the scene. "When we got down there and knew that Gary had been hit and knocked as far as he was, his body actually shut down. Sarge was there with him, didn't leave him. It's a day you remember forever," Sheriff Graybeal said.
For deputy Daugherty, he remembered his fellow deputies after receiving his Purple Heart. "To me this represents all the officers, all the sheriff's deputies who put on that badge and gun and go out. They always put themselves in harm's way and it may change in an instant," he said.
Just as it did for the deputies Daugherty and Cross.
The three suspects in this case were found guilty of attempted aggravated robbery and reckless endangerment with a deadly weapon. They were sentenced to prison and corrections supervision programs.

Does Belly Bandit or Medical Grade Compression Tummy Belly Belts works? Kourtney Kardashian claims this helped her stomach down after her pregnancy. Does this device avoid loose skin from forming or stretch marks that are normally associate with women who had children?
Do Belly Bandit or Medical Grade Compression Tummy Belly Belts Work For Stretch Marks?
Doctor Answers 6
Do Belly Bands or Compression Belts Prevent Stretch Marks?
A simple answer is NO! There is no known medical compression device that works for stretch marks no matter what Kourtney Kardashian claims. It does not work. You either have stretch marks or you don't. It's primarily genetically based.
Do Compression Tummy Belly Belts Work For Stretch Marks?
As appealing as it sounds none of the compression type belts work for stretch marks nor excessive skin. There is always some improvement of the abdomen following pregnancy so any claims made attributing this to the compression belt are not valid. The amount of improvement will depend on a host of factors such as how much weight was gained during the pregnancy, how quickly the weight was gained, the condition of the abdomen before the pregnancy, genetics, etc. Stretch marks result from the elastic tissue being torn by rapid skin stretching during pregnancy and as of today there are no creams, nor compression belts which will reverse this. If you are not happy with the appearance of your tummy after your pregnancy seek out a consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon to determine your options.
Does the Belly Bandit work for stretch marks?
Post-delivery compression garments may help reduce swelling more quickly and possibly impact the pelvis as your hormones change and ligament flexibilty is altered following pregnancy. However, to answer your question about stretch marks, if they developed during your pregnancy (or if you have significant loose skin), a compression belt alone is not going to make it better.

Stretch Marks, Devices, and Creams
Unfortunately there is no external device or topical cream that you can use that will stop stretch marks from forming. Stretch marks are the result of the tissues in the skin being stressed and pulled causing tears from the inside towards the outside of the skin. While we do not understand why some people -yes, men get stretch marks too-get stretch marks and others do not, there is evidence of a genetic component to the problem. Since you cannot control your genetics, the best way to decrease your risk of forming them during your pregnancy is to keep your weight gain small and to exercise within the limits that your OB-GYN allows. After delivery, getting back into an exercise program and diet can also help. Despite doing everything you can possibly do, you still may form stretch marks and loose skin which will not respond to all of those products being marketed to vulnerable women seeking to regain their pre-pregnancy appearance. Consult with a board certified plastic surgeon who can help you make the right choices for you. Remember, the only one those products you asked about do anything for are the wallets of those selling them. Wish you the best.

Commercial products for correcting post-baby deformities
The products you are questioning are not proven and any attributes of these products are questionable. If you seek significant and permanent changes exercise and weight loss are the initial goal. Beyond that, seek the consult of a body specialist: a board certified plastic surgeon.
All the best,
Talmage J. Raine MD FACS
Compression tummy belts vs tummy tuck
Unfortunately, external compression belts will not prevent loose skin or stretch marks from forming after pregnancy. Exercise and maintaining a proper diet remain the mainstays of a youthful figure. However, even while following the best exercise and diet program, one may need to consider a tummy tuck and/or liposuction following pregnancy.

Syria's Arab Spring continues into the summer, but after 16 weeks, the government and the demonstrators appear to have reached a stalemate. The uprising presents the greatest challenge to the 40-year rule of one family and one party, in a complex country that is pivotal to stability in the region. Guest host Susan Stamberg speaks with NPR's Deborah Amos, one of a small group of western journalists being allowed to report from Syria, under government supervision.

Let us start with the end of the story… (from the christian perspective)
A Little Rock, Arkansas church has cancelled its stage production of "A Charlie Brown Christmas" after a local atheist group complained about it being seen by school children.
Children watching Charlie Brown? The only way to stop this harmless wholesome fun is for an atheist to complain!
One mother complained….
I knew it! We also have a brave principal that stood up for the children against this one atheist.
..the "courageous stand" that the school's principal took in "not succumbing to the pressure of one complaint voice…"
You know how violent those atheist get….
"It is not our desire to put hard-working, sacrificial teachers and cast members in harm's way…"
All we wanted to do was share the love of Christ!
"Christmas is a Christian holiday — hence it's name – Christmas," the pastor wrote in his statement. "Our program addresses its origins with light-hearted songs and theatre. The context of the birth of Christ is broadly described in both Old and New Testament texts."
All is now preserved in the mind of the christian. They are once again oppressed and prevented from doing something nice for everyone by one "ardent" (or "avowed" or "admitted" or "angry" or "strident") atheist. They fought the good fight but the atheists used their power to oppress – again!
Now back to the real world…..
About three weeks ago a Little Rock, AR parent was asked to sign a permission slip to send their child to see a stage version of "A Charlie Brown Christmas" at Agape, a local evangelical church.
The letter the teachers sent home indicates the play will be held on a school day at 10 a.m. on Friday, Dec. 14 at the Agape Church. Children attending will be taken on a school bus and will need to pay $2 to cover the expense of the bus rides, according to the letter.
So, during school time, teachers will take all of the children on school buses to an evangelical version of Charlie Brown.
My friend Anne, stepped up to help…
"We're not saying anything bad about Charlie Brown," said Anne Orsi, a Little Rock Attorney and Vice President of the Arkansas Society of Freethinkers.
"The problem is that it's got religious content and it's being performed in a religious venue and that doesn't just blur the line between church and state, it over steps it entirely."
Well said Anne. You can also read more of her story on JT's Blog "What would JT do?"
As you can imaging, local tv, local papers picked up the story and ran with it and the FOX news got their claws on the story. Anne got this letter from a long time friend…
Dear Anne,
I am "outraged" that atheists are denying children the right to see "A Charlie Brown Christmas" in Little Rock.
She is not preventing anyone. If you want to go see it – GO! Want to take your kids – FINE! What you cannot do, is use the power of the state to force everyone to go. The play is not canceled. All that was canceled was the one show during school time.
Let 6 and 7 yr. olds be "Freethinkers." Let them decide.
If only she meant this. Let an atheist into your church to explain why god is made up and we can talk about letting the kids decide. I make you a deal…. let an atheist speak in the public school on a religious diversification panel and we can talk.
They also point out that you can choose to not go….
Unbelievers' children can sit in another classroom.
All alone back at school with the one teacher that has to stay behind and watch them. As wrong as that is, it would just be the beginning. Kids (and adults) can be ruthless to the one kid that is different. They would lose friends and get harassed by other students. Some choice.
This is wrong and has been ruled wrong by the courts again and again. However the Christians will not hear that.
The news media in Arkansas does not have the stones to point out that it is against the law. Why? because they are scared. Some Christians wish that people feared them like people fear Muslims in Saudi Arabia. Well in large parts of the United States they actually do. Who will stand for The Constitution, who will stand for the law, who will stand for the kids? The atheist! You must take a stand you must be heard.
Christians claims power by force while speaking of peace. They claim power with hate while preaching love. It is time for this system to end.

The science is clear that anti-inflammatory foods and supplements will make you healthier. I lecture on this frequently, and always include these foods in the diets of all my clients and teams for performance enhancement and recovery. In my husband's periodontal practice, patient education partly relies on the role of anti-inflammatory nutrition intervention to prevent and treat periodontal disease, a chronic inflammatory disease which increases a patient's risk of developing cardiovascular disease. It is also critical to enhance recovery after surgery.
To support patient education in my practice and in my husband's practice, I have created two educational brochures that our patients love. Now I am making them available to you. They are each 8-panel, multi-colored, glossy, high quality brochures packed with useful information about creating an anti-inflammatory diet and how to choose the right supplements.
I have found that along with nutritionists and dietitians, other practitioners that love these brochures include physical therapists, nurses, physicians, personal trainers, coaches, wellness centers, and of course, all general dentists, hygienists, and dental specialists. You don't have to be teaching others to use these. They are easy and wonderful for personal use!

I hope you enjoy them!

"What goes around comes around". It's an old saying that is particularly appropriate when we look at the changing modes of transportation today. With gasoline prices going through the roof, it doesn't come as a big surprise that there is renewed interest in riding the train. Whether for commuter use, or to take in a show in Boston or Worcester, the train has become an attractive alternative to the uncertainties of oil prices. But what is the history of trains in Ashland?
From earlier discussions we know that the first train to roll through Ashland was in 1834. Owning the property, and anticipating the potential revenue the railroad would bring, Capt. John Stone built an inn right next to where the tracks were laid for the then Boston and Worcester Railroad. The inn was called the "Railroad House", and is known as "Stone's Public House" today. By all appearances the inn is probably more famous as a "haunted site" than its association with the railroad, but never less, the inn was instrumental in the development of Ashland, bringing in notables like Daniel Webster, Governor John Davis and former Governor Levi Lincoln on opening day of rail service.
Happenstance perhaps, but originally the railroad was to travel a more northerly route parallel to Route 9. However, pressure from the Worcester Turnpike Association, concerned that they may lose toll revenue having the railroad that close, forced its location to South Framingham effectively guaranteeing passage through the center of Ashland. Had the rail passed through Framingham Center, it would probably have missed Ashland entirely.
Passenger service for the Boston and Worcester, later known as the Boston and Albany Railroad, is today provided by Amtrak's Lake Shore Limited Line for trips from Boston to New York, and the MBTA for commuter service Boston to Worcester.
But in the late 19th century the Boston and Albany wasn't the only rail servicing Ashland. By 1890, there were multiple sets of tracks downtown. One of them connected Ashland to Hopkinton. Originally established in 1869 as the Hopkinton Branch Railroad Company Number 2 (Number One was granted a charter from the General Court in 1854, but never got on track), the line merged with a smaller line called the Hopkinton and Milford Railroad Company to become the Hopkinton Railroad Company. The Ashland portion ran from downtown, west along Megunko Rd, through what is now the Middle School on West Union St, through the Valentine property (that is sadly slated for demolition), across West Union St. near Olive St, and parallel to
Incidentally, while researching for this article I ran across the MBTA's website. Type this in your web browser for train schedules through Ashland. Please note that "WORCSTER" is not spelled incorrectly in the address below:
