London, UK: Imperva, Inc., a pioneer and leader of a new category of business security solutions for critical applications and high value data in the data center, has announced that SEEK Limited (ASX Code: SEK) has implemented Imperva SecureSphere Web Application Firewall (WAF) to protect the data it holds on both candidates and recruiters, and to improve overall application performance levels. Following the successful pilot programme managed by Imperva partner Dimension Data, SecureSphere WAF reduced site scraping issues by over 80 percent and was adopted as the primary security solution for SEEK.
Unlike most organisations, SEEK's core business is entirely online. With 150,000 jobs posted online at any one time, and over 25.6 million visitors to SEEK each month, this makes the successful and secure operation of the site critical for the organisation.
"One of SEEK's strategies is to be the single and core marketplace for candidates and recruiters," said Joe Powell, Managing Director, SEEK. "Our biggest asset is the data that is available through our website. The website is the life of the business, and that's why protecting it and being able to keep it online and as highly available as possible is critical to the organisation."
SecureSphere WAF combines multiple security engines into a single transparent web defence, effectively sitting in front of an organisation's applications and website to protect them from technical attacks such as SQL injection and cross-site scripting; from business logic attacks like application layer denial of service and site scraping; and also from e-commerce and web-based fraud. It can block web application attacks by identifying traffic originating from these bots and other malicious sources to stop automated attacks. Additionally, it is capable of virtually patching vulnerabilities through integration with web application vulnerability scanners, reducing the window of exposure and impact of emergency fixes.
"SEEK's online business operations required a real-time solution that could identify and block automated attacks, which now make up over 50 percent of e-commerce site traffic around the globe," outlined Shlomo Kramer, CEO, Imperva. "By identifying the extent and sophistication of the site scraping issue, SecureSphere WAF has become a critical component of SEEK's overall business and security strategy."

ENGLAND have announced their 23 players that will be representing the team in Manchester for the World Championship's in July, and a further seven players in reserve.
It was a tough task for Head Coach Dave Elwood and his coaching staff, but it now leaves the team with three months to fully concentrate on peaking for the Championship's, which begin on 15th July against Iroquois.
Dave Elwood said: "It is always very difficult to come up with what we believe is the correct mix, but in this squad we feel we have a good blend of youth and experience. The younger players will bring that youth and enthusiasm we are looking for, while the more experienced players in the squad will provide cool heads and experience is something which we cannot buy.
"We've had to make some tough decisions, and it is the hardest part of my job when I have to tell a player he's not selected, but we ensure we have a meeting with each individual player to discuss the reasoning behind the decision."
For the majority of the team training will continue at Salford University, but this years squad sees the largest number of overseas based players that England have selected in a championship team which brings with it unique challenges.
Elwood said: "Communication is paramount and in today's technological world it certainly makes it easier to communicate with our squad members who are presently outside the Country. We couldn't have done this in 2002 but with email, gmail, skype and conferencing facilities all available on line it's like having the guys in the same room."
As part of the final preperations the squad are all due to meet up as they tour the East coast of America, offering the players game time against strong opposition and their first chance to play as the World Championship team.

Wacha Tames Cubs As Redbirds Cruise To 4-1 Win
Memphis Takes Three Of Four From Divison-Rivals
By Memphis Redbirds | April 23, 2013 2:17 PM ET
MEMPHIS, Tenn. - Starting pitcher Michael Wacha tossed seven dominating innings as the Memphis Redbirds beat the division-rival Iowa Cubs, 4-1, in the finale of a four-game series on Tuesday afternoon at AutoZone Park.
Including the Cubs, Memphis (11-7) has won three of four in their last three series and 10 of its last 14 games overall.
Wacha (3-0) had another excellent day from the mound in his third victory, yielding one run on three hits and a pair of walks in seven innings. The 21-year-old retired his first nine in a row and a string of 19 of 22 before surrendering a run in the seventh inning. That run was his first in his last 14 innings dating back three starts.
Victor Marte threw a perfect ninth inning to nail down his fourth save of the season. Eric Fornataro set up Marte and fanned one in one scoreless inning.
Oscar Taveras snapped out of an 0-for-9 skid with a single and stolen base while making a couple of great catches from center field.
RBI leader Jermaine Curtis' one-out double in the bottom of the second inning scored Greg Garcia for the first run of the game. Then in his first Triple-A at-bat, catcher Travis Tartamella ripped a single to right to bring home Curtis for the 2-0 advantage.
Bryan Bogusevic, who doubled and scored in the seventh, was the only Iowa baserunner to reach second base on the afternoon.
Memphis tacked on two insurance runs in the bottom of the eighth on Yoanner Negrin for a final 4-1 score. Doubles by Ryan Jackson and Greg Garcia accounted of the first run. Curtis then blooped an RBI single over the first baseman to score Garcia.
Nick Struck (0-2) gave up two runs on five hits and a pair of walks in six innings for the loss.
The Redbirds embark on the first of two, 12-game road trips this season, traveling to the cross-state rival Nashville Sounds (Triple-A Brewers), Albuquerque Isotopes (Triple-A Dodgers), and Round Rock Express (Triple-A Rangers).
Baseball returns to AutoZone Park on Tuesday, May 7, when the Redbirds open an eight-game homestand against the Sacramento River Cats (Triple-A Athletics) and Fresno Grizzlies (Triple-A Giants).

The move comes shortly after the company announced its September 5 event, where it's almost sure that it'll introduce us to its first Windows Phone 8 devices. Nokia is probably affected by the fact that Samsung recently overtook its position as the world's leading cell phone manufacturer, so it kind of sees the South Korean company as its arch-enemy right now. When it comes to smartphones, though, once powerful Nokia is now far behind its competition with its modest market share of 6.6%, so it has a lot of catching up to do.
The Finns have produced some wonderful devices in the Lumia 800 and 900, and since we already know that Windows Phone 8 will be a quite substantial overhaul of the platform, we're really looking forward to seeing what surprises Nokia has in store for us.

Green Bay Earns Hard-Fought Road Win at DePaul
By: Ryan Hartwig (@RyanHartwig)
CHICAGO (GreenBayPhoenix.com) – The Green Bay men's tennis team picked up a hard-fought road victory on Sunday, knocking off DePaul 5-2 at Lakeshore Sport and Fitness in Chicago. The Phoenix, which improves to 10-6 with the win, defeated the Blue Demons (3-12) for the first time in program history.
Green Bay jumped out to the early lead by winning two of the three doubles matches to earn the doubles point. Sophomore Michael Tenzer (Neuried, Germany) and freshman Joey Leto (Downers Grove, Ill.) teamed up for a dominant 8-2 victory over DePaul's Kyle Johnson and Paul John at No. 3, while sophomore Michael Tebon (Excelsior, Minn.) and freshman Howard Scott (Exeter, England) closed out an 8-6 win over Mathias Hambach and Jan-Willem Feilzer at No. 2.
The Blue Demons grabbed wins at the top two singles spots, but the Phoenix claimed the No. 3 through No. 6 matches to hand DePaul its first home loss of the season (3-1).
Craig Cox (Surrey, England) won a tough battle at No. 3, defeating Blue Demons freshman Sten Leusink in a third-set tiebreaker. Cox edged Leusink 7-6 (0) in the opener before dropping a 7-6 (7) decision in the second. The Phoenix senior was able to bounce back in the third, posting a 7-5 win.
Newcomers Leopold Gomez Islinger (Weiden, Germany) and Scott also earned three-set wins, as Gomez Islinger took down Feilzer 7-6 (5), 4-6, 7-5 at No. 4 and Scott defeated Johnson 6-3, 6-7 (2), 6-3 at No. 5. Rowan Isaaks (London, England), another freshman, picked up Green Bay's lone straight-set singles win, beating John 6-1, 6-2 at No. 6.
The meeting with DePaul marked Green Bay's final non-conference contest of the regular season, as the Phoenix now turns its attention to Horizon League competition. Green Bay opens the conference slate with a pair of road matches this weekend, traveling to Valparaiso on Friday (3 p.m.) and UIC on Saturday (2 p.m.).

The Perro de Presa Canario is a mastiff breed from the Canary Islands. He is a complex, powerful dog with special needs when it comes to ownership. The Presa is a giant breed, weighing 84 to 110 pounds. He is used as a "catch dog," driving cattle and hogs and running off or killing strange dogs.
The Presa has a massive head, heavy rectangular body, and a short coat in brindle, black, fawn or any combination of those colors. In communities and countries with breed bans, he is often among the breeds that are outlawed. Here is what you should know about the Perro de Presa Canario.
The Presa Canario is not an appropriate choice for an inexperienced dog owner. First-time dog owners and people who have had only "soft" breeds such as retrievers, spaniels or toy breeds need not apply. This dog is large, powerful, intelligent, active and headstrong. A Presa Canario needs a leader who can guide him with firmness and consistency and without using force or cruelty.
Early, frequent socialization is essential. Purchase a Presa Canario puppy from a breeder who raises the pups in the home and ensures that they are exposed to many different household sights and sounds, as well as people, before they go off to their new homes.
Continue socializing your Presa Canario throughout his life by taking him to puppy kindergarten class, visits to friends and neighbors, and outings to local shops and businesses. This is the only way he can learn to be discriminating, recognizing what is normal and what is truly a threat. That said, no amount of socialization will make him friendly toward one and all. The Presa Canario is first and foremost a guard dog, and he takes his responsibilities seriously.
Begin training as soon as you bring your Perro de Presa Canario puppy home, while he is still at a manageable size. A nothing-in-life-is-free program, requiring puppies to "work" for everything they get by performing a command before receiving meals, toys, treats or play, often works well with this breed. It's always a good idea to take a Presa Canario to puppy kindergarten followed by basic obedience class, especially if you are working with a trainer who understands the Perro de Presa Canario mindset.
The Presa Canario has a high activity level and needs a job to do, which can be anything from being your on-leash jogging companion to daily training activities. He will not be satisfied to lie around and do nothing all the time.
He must also be prevented from chasing and killing cats or small dogs belonging to the neighbors. The Presa Canario has a high prey drive and a territorial nature, so he needs a strong, solid fence at least six feet high to keep him on his own property. An underground electronic fence is never appropriate for this breed.
Like any dog, Perro de Presa Canario puppies are inveterate chewers and because of their size can do a whole lot of damage. Don't give them the run of the house until they've reached trustworthy maturity. And keep your Perro de Presa Canario puppy busy with training, play and socialization experiences. A bored Perro de Presa Canario is a destructive Perro de Presa Canario, taking up digging, chewing and other undesirable behaviors.
The Perro de Presa Canario should spend plenty of time indoors and outdoors with his family. Chaining a Presa Canario out in the yard and giving him little or no attention is not only cruel, it can also lead to aggression and destructive behavior.
The Perro de Presa Canario has a smooth coat that sheds. Brush him at least once a week to remove dead hair and keep the skin and coat healthy. Clean the ears and trim the nails as needed, and bathe the Presa Canario on the rare occasions that he's dirty.
All purebred dogs have the potential to develop genetic health problems, just as all people have the potential to inherit a particular disease. Run, don't walk, from any breeder who does not offer a health guarantee on puppies, who tells you that the breed is 100 percent healthy and has no known problems, or who tells you that her puppies are isolated from the main part of the household for health reasons. A reputable breeder will be honest and open about health problems in the breed and the incidence with which they occur in her lines.
The Perro de Presa Canario has some health conditions that can be a concern, especially if you aren't cautious about whom you buy from. They include orthopedic problems such as hip and elbow dysplasia, osteochondritis dissecans and panosteitis; eye problems such as entropion; autoimmune thyroiditis and demodectic mange; epilepsy; and cryptorchidism (a single testicle or a testicle retained inside the body). The breed may also be prone to gastric torsion, also known as bloat, and anterior cruciate ligament tears.
Ask the breeder to show evidence that a puppy's parents have OFA or PennHIP clearances for hip dysplasia, plus OFA elbow clearances. Do not purchase a puppy from a breeder who cannot provide you with written documentation that the parents were cleared of health problems that affect the breed. Having the dogs "vet checked" is not a substitute for genetic health testing.
Pet insurance for Perro de Presa Canarios costs more than for mixed breed dogs. This is because Perro de Presa Canarios are more likely than mixed breed dogs to make claims for hereditary conditions that are expensive to treat.
Embrace pet insurance plans offer full coverage for all breed-specific conditions (excluding those that are pre-existing) to which Perro de Presa Canarios are susceptible. The best time to get pet insurance for your Perro de Presa Canario is when he's a healthy puppy. You can't predict what will happen in the future, and pet insurance is the one thing you can't get when you need it the most.

The '57 to '64 housings are the best looking, but the weakest. The truck housings have thicker axle tubes. The housings with the long tapered center are stronger than the housings with the smaller rounded center.
The WAR and WAB cases look stronger because they have extra ribs on the front, but they have a very weak pinion pilot bearing boss. Many people try to pass these off as nodular cases, BUT THEY ARE NOT. There are 2 different nodular cases. One has smaller 2 7/8 bearings and gray iron caps. This one is not the strongest. The other one has 3 1/16 bearings and has nodular iron caps. This is the strongest production case that Ford made.
The standard pinion housing has small bearings in the front and back. The Daytona pinion housing has a much larger inner bearing, but requires a special yoke.
The Ford Traction Lock is weak and should not be used in a high powered car with good tires. After market Traction Locks have a stronger steel case.
I guess everybody knows that the 31 spline axles are better than the 28 spline axles.

Canadian filmmaker turns to Internet to finance movie
By Irene Kuan
TORONTO (Reuters) - An aspiring Canadian filmmaker is asking the public at large to help fund his first movie project, one frame at a time.
Casey Walker launched a Web site earlier this year to raise C$1 million ($988,457) and is selling frames of his yet-to-be-made film over the Internet for C$10 a piece.
In return, investors will receive a credit in his movie, advertisement rights on his site and a cut of the profits if the film makes money.
So far he has sold more than 17,000 frames, bringing in about C$170,000, including the biggest single sale at C$52,560. Walker also has attracted investors from the United States, Europe and Canada.
He hopes to reach a million in four months.
"I wanted to make a feature film since I got into this business 10 years ago, and it's not easy to finance an independent film in this country, especially for a first-time director," Walker said in an interview.
He had shopped his script around Hollywood unsuccessfully several times before returning to Canada. The idea for the Web site came to him in 2006 after he saw another site called the "Million Dollar Home Page." It was created by a man in Britain who sold pixels of his site to advertisers and made more than $1 million in five months.
"That's what inspired me to approach the public online to fund-raise because his success was so rapid," Walker said. Continued...

A Minute With: Jane Lynch on her "Glee"-filled year
By Jill Serjeant
LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - It's been a 'Glee'-filled year for character actress Jane Lynch who, after two decades of guest TV and movie roles, became the scene stealer of TV musical comedy "Glee", married her girlfriend, and started filling her shelves with awards.
Lynch, 50, who plays acid, scheming cheerleader coach Sue Sylvester in "Glee", was nominated on Thursday for U.S. television's top honor, an Emmy, for her role as Sylvester. Also, she is receiving an achievement award this week from the Outfest film festival in Los Angeles.
In a recent interview that took place before her Emmy nomination, Lynch talked with Reuters about her newfound fame, what an Emmy would mean to her, and getting the Outfest award from the gay and lesbian event, which starts on Thursday.
Q: Outfest organizers say your varied career and move onto mainstream TV mirrors the growth of Outfest over the last 28 years as the biggest U.S. gay and lesbian film festival. What does getting the award mean for you?
A: "I have been going to Outfest for years and I know people who have gotten the award in the past, so I feel I am in very good company. I never pick something because it's gay or straight. It's all about fun things -- who I get to work with. One of the great things about the short films I have done for Outfest is the great can-do spirit."
Q: You and "Glee" are expected to be high on the list of potential Emmy award winners. What would an Emmy mean for you?
A: "It would be affirmation from my peers, and it would be a wonderful thing for the show. We really feel like we have something very special."
Q: Has your sexuality ever been an issue in getting roles as an actress? Continued...

Cartels trafficking drugs in Idaho
IDAHO FALLS, Idaho - Miguel Angel Trevino Morales was arrested in Mexico Monday morning. He was known for his brutal violence as the head of the Zetas cartel, which operated throughout North and Central America.
The Idaho State Police deal with Mexican drug cartels, and expect to see no changes in trafficking despite the kingpin's arrest. Lt. Steve Davis said with the exception of marijuana, most drugs are coming from the cartels in Mexico.
"I will guarantee you that every bit of dope that is up here started with one of those organizations," said Davis.
Davis said ISP tries to attack the biggest entities they can identify, so they educate themselves on the landscape of drug cartels.
"If we start doing a case here and if we get tied into any of the major cartels, we know fairly certain which organization we're going to be dealing with," said Davis.
Despite the inevitable transition for one of the biggest cartels around, don't expect the traffic to slow down.
"There will be no effect," said Davis. "If you didn't hear it on the news, you'd never know it happened, in my world, because we're still going to get the coke and methamphetamine coming across."

The world has become geekier and geeks have become cooler. Nowhere is this better illustrated than at San Diego's annual Comic-Con, which has grown from a dedicated comics convention attended by about 150 in 1970, to a celebration of all aspects of geek culture by more than 150,000 today.
This documentary, directed by Morgan Spurlock (Super Size Me) and produced by uber-geeks Stan Lee (Marvel) and Joss Whedon (Buffy, the Vampire Slayer, The Avengers) examines the phenomenon through the aspirations of would-be comic book illustrators, Skip Harvey and Eric Henson, costume designer Holly Conrad, comic book dealer Chuck Rozanski and James Darling, who met his girlfriend Se Young Kang at the event the previous year, and plans to ask her to marry him at a Kevin Smith Q&A.
Many of today's successful writers and directors were yesterday's unknown Comic-Con attendees and some feel the event is being hijacked by film companies for their blockbusters. Lucasfilm now owns the loading dock, gripes graphic novelist Frank Miller while Wedon notes that the event has become ''the world's largest focus group''.
Spurlock shows a real flair for the soundbite: the interviews with the stars that pepper the film are pithy and funny. (''You could conceivably get laid at Comic-con now,'' says Smith, who is on song for the entire film, ''that's how cool it is.''). He also does a good job of building the stories of the hopefuls trying to break into the industry - and there is some shameful emotional manipulation of the geek romance that lets you know you're watching a master at work.

Tallmadge -- He sees some of the opposing players in the classroom and the opposing coach was his mentor.
A piece of Tallmadge second-year head coach Aaron Hinkle's heart will always remain with Green High School, where he still teaches.
After his latest showdown against his old team, one thing is still crystal clear about the Bulldogs-Blue Devils' rivalry.
Hinkle's friends still have bragging rights.
Green improved to 9-0 overall and 6-0 in the Suburban League after posting a lopsided 70-35 victory over Tallmadge Jan. 4 at Tallmadge High School's James O. Maddox Court.
The Bulldogs, district finalists the previous two seasons, did whatever they wanted, when they wanted against the young Blue Devils, who have lost eight straight games.
By the time Tallmadge scored its first points of the game -- a layup by sophomore Andrew Francesconi late in the first quarter -- Green had a 17-0 lead. The Bulldogs promptly went on to score the next eight points and had a commanding 32-7 lead at halftime.
Despite the humbling defeat, Hinkle, a former assistant to longtime Green head coach Mark Kinsley, had no hard feelings. Hinkle knows the Bulldogs have a chance to make some noise in the postseason.
"They [the Bulldogs] have some kids who have been playing together for a long time," Hinkle said. "Last year was the last group I coached, but I see some of the current players in the classroom and Mark and I still talk on a weekly basis."
Kinsley's team has a bit more depth, height and experience than Hinkle's squad, which had no returning starters from last season dressed for the game.
Green showed it could score in a variety of ways.
The Bulldogs got easy buckets in transition, including a pair of dunks by 6-foot-6 senior forward Dan Fanelly. Green also buried shots from the perimeter and the painted area.
When the Blue Devils (1-9, 1-5) had the ball, they had some costly turnovers in bunches and simply couldn't knock down shots. Tallmadge managed to find a little bit of rhythm in the final 16 minutes, but the game had long been decided.
"They [the Bulldogs] really hurt us in transition," Hinkle said. "They run the floor well and did a nice job with their execution. They can score inside and outside."
Hinkle hoped his team could slow things down and not allow Green to turn things into a 90-foot dash. Unfortunately, that did not happen.
"We struggled with our transition defense," Hinkle said. "We wanted to limit their possessions and shorten the game.
"But you can't do that when you get down 20-2."
A total of 11 players scored for the Bulldogs. Sophomore guard Austin Marciniak and 6-8 senior forward Josh Pritchard each had 12 points to lead Green. Eddie Janini and Fanelly added nine and eight points, respectively, for the Bulldogs, who also posted a 46-32 win in the junior varsity contest.
Francesconi led the Blue Devils with 12 points and Joseph Vassalotti added seven points. No other Tallmadge player scored more than five points.
"We're going through some growing pains," Hinkle said. "It's tough because we're facing some good competition. You just want to get something out of it. If we can learn something from this, hopefully, it will help us in the second half of the season."
That process was scheduled to begin Jan. 11 when the Blue Devils head to Lodi to play Cloverleaf. Results were not available at press time.
Tallmadge is set to host Field Jan. 15 and Suburban League rival Revere Jan. 18. Both varsity contests are scheduled to begin at 7:30 p.m.

Master Gardeners develop garden at Veterans' Home
Beautiful gardens are brimming with color and life at the Veterans' Home in Ventura. These gardens have been planned, planted and cared for by a group of Ventura County UCCE Master Gardeners and many people in the community.
Flowers and ornamental trees provide color and shade. Raised garden beds are filled with a wide assortment of vegetables to enhance nutrition and dinner salads of residents. An orchard of donated fruit trees has taken root on the west side of the building. Garden lectures provide enrichment for the mind.
An additional vegetable garden and succulent garden are planned.
Started shortly after the home opened, the gardens and the activity they generate provide much joy and nutrition to the Veterans' who reside at the home. To learn more, or if interested in becoming involved, contact Master Gardener Barbara Hill.
Healthful and mindful eating
The low cost of food in the United States is one of the factors contributing to food gluttony and weight problems. On average, Americans spend less than 10 percent of their disposable income on food — 5.5 percent on food "at home" (grocery stores, retail outlets), and 3.9 percent on food "away from home" (USDA data, 2009).
Compare what Americans spend with other countries (household final consumption expenditures; USDA data, 2007)

While food sustains life, it also provides emotional comfort. But many people (for many reasons) overindulge. As a society, we tend to be mindless eaters, not mindful eaters. We eat on the run, in the car, at the desk, and from shrink-wrapped frozen containers that have been microwaved. Many people no longer cook, or they consider putting the "shrink-wrapped frozen container" in the microwave as cooking.
A little more connection with our food, whether we prepare it ourselves, or not, can help us to slow down, eat proper portions, and make better food choices. For those who don't know much about cooking, it's not difficult to make simple and healthful meals. Grab a cookbook from the library, or take a cooking class in your community. Healthful recipes can also be found online:
- Davis Farmers Market recipes (note: the author is on the market board as a consumer representative)
- National Institutes of Health recipes
- Mayo Clinic recipes
Eating healthfully is a skill we all can master, regardless of our budgets, hectic schedules, or cooking prowess. And eating healthfully doesn't mean depriving ourselves of delicious food or occasional splurges.
National Nutrition Month is just ending, and I spent some time writing and collecting adages that remind us to eat healthfully and mindfully. Here are ten (of many) maxims that I like. Perhaps you have some to add to the list.
- If it isn't really good or healthful, don't bother eating it.
- If you are not hungry enough to eat an apple, you are not hungry. (thank you Michael Pollan and the NY Times)
- Choose appropriate portions. (guide 1 and guide 2)
- Put the fork down and take some breaths between each bite.
- Do not put food in your mouth when there is food in your mouth.
- Avoid eating in the car or in front of the television.
- Learn to prepare three dishes well. (simple is fine)
- Visit your farmers market or produce stand regularly. Ask questions. Try something new.
- It's better to pay the grocer than the doctor. (M. Pollan again)
- Thank the person who grew the food. Thank the person who prepared the food. Be thankful you have food.
It's never too late for any of us to make one or two small changes that will get us started on a more healthful diet. Blissful eating!
Not so sweet: Sugar's dark side
America is paying the price for its growing sweet tooth.
Just look at the rising rates of diabetes and obesity, said speakers at a March 17 symposium, "Sugar Highs and Lows: Dietary Sugars, the Brain, and Metabolic Outcomes," at UC Davis.
The symposium focused on sugar consumption and its impact on health. The event was sponsored by the Center for Obesity Assessment, Study and Treatment (COAST) at UC San Francisco, the UC Office of the President, UC Berkeley and UC Davis.
UCSF pediatric endocrinologist and COAST researcher Robert Lustig and UC Davis molecular biologist Kimber Stanhope discussed the downsides of a type of sugar called fructose.
"The government pays twice for obesity: first for the corn subsidy (to make high-fructose corn syrup), and then for emergency room heart attacks and health care," Lustig said.
It's not just sugar being scrutinized, but also sugar substitutes. Carolyn de la Peña, UC Davis professor of American studies and author of "Empty Pleasures: The Story of Artificial Sweeteners from Saccharin to Splenda," traced the history of artificial sweeteners. The substitutes are so much sweeter than sugar that they have led to the "incredible sweetening of the American palate," she said.
For more details on sugar's impact on health and suggested interventions, view symposium coverage at www.universityofcalifornia.edu/news/article/25203.
Microgreens are houseplants you can eat
Another way to engage the family in sustainable living and healthy eating is by starting a table-top farm at home. Growing sprouts has been popular for decades. Today, microgreens are the new hot topic.
Microgreens are larger than sprouts, but smaller than baby salad greens. They are found in trendy restaurants and gourmet grocery stores, but can easily be grown anywhere with sufficient light, says Marin County UC Master Gardener Dot Zanotti Ingels. Harvested at about two inches tall, they add texture and flavor to salads and sandwiches, can be mixed into dips, used as a garnish and sprinkled on top of pizza.
"Children like microgreens because they are fast growing with quick rewards," she said. "Nutritionally, microgreens are loaded with vitamins, minerals, enzymes and phytonutrients."
To grow microgreens, all you need are containers, soil, seeds and water.
"I like to use attractive containers or small pots to keep my growing area fun to look at, but containers could be recycled plastic food trays or a wide, shallow flower pot," Ingels said.
She suggests the following steps:
- Fill the container with moistened fresh potting mix or seed starting mix to one-inch of the top. Another option is using soilless germinating media, such as a growing mat, peat, vermiculite, perlite or coconut fiber.
- Sprinkle seeds evenly to cover one-third to one-half of the soil or growing media surface (buying bulk seeds online will save money).
- Top the seeds with a thin layer of soil and tamp down lightly.
- Water with a spray bottle, keeping the soil as moist as a wrung-out sponge.
- Start with or without a clear cover; once seeds have germinated, keep the container open.
- Harvest when the first true leaves appear by snipping with sharp kitchen shears. Seedling to harvest varies from 7 to 21 days.
Chia, cress, mustard greens, radish and arugula are just a few of the varieties used to grow microgreens. Pam Geisel, the academic coordinator of the UC Master Gardener program, suggests trying borage, basil, cilantro and other leafy herbs. A good plant to try first is broccoli, since it tends to be reliable in germination and a strong sprout in the first crucial days.
To ensure success and food safety, Geisel recommends microgreen growers compost the old soil or growing medium and start over new with each planting.
"When reusing soils, there can be a problem with damping off and other organisms, such as salmonella," Geisel said. Damping off is the term used for fungus-caused ailments that kill seeds or seedlings. "Microgreens don't have a lot of roots so the soil or mats have to be watered often but not kept soggy wet. I would not use the greens if there is any sign of mold or decay."
Researchers from Spain and U.S. discover 'seedless' cherimoya gene
The researchers recently combined their expertise in an effort to show how to develop a seedless version of the Cherimoya – which Mark Twain called "the most delicious fruit known to man."
The cherimoya, also known as the custard apple, and the closely related sugar apple and soursop, all are known for having big, awkward seeds. New seedless versions of these tasty fruits would undoubtedly be much more appealing to consumers.
"This could be the next banana — it would make it a lot more popular," said Charles Gasser, a professor of molecular and cellular biology at UC Davis.
He noted that, although all commercial banana varieties are seedless, bananas in their natural state have up to a hundred seeds.
The cherimoya project began in Spain, where researchers José Hormaza, Maria Herrero and graduate student Jorge Lora at the Consejo Superior de Investigaciones Cientificas labs in Malaga and Zaragoza, Spain, were studying the seedless variety of sugar apple. When they looked closely at the fruit, they noticed that the ovules, which would normally form seeds, lacked an outer coat.
They looked similar to the ovules of a mutant of the lab plant Arabidopsis that was discovered by Gasser's lab at UC Davis in the late 1990s. In Arabidopsis, the defective plants do not make seeds or fruit. But the mutant sugar apple produces full-sized fruit with white, soft flesh without the large, hard seeds.
The Spanish team contacted Gasser, and Lora came to UC Davis from Malaga to work on the project in Gasser's lab. He discovered that the same gene was responsible for uncoated ovules in both the Arabidopsis and sugar apple mutants.
"This is the first characterization of a gene for seedlessness in any crop plant," Gasser said.
Although there are seedless varieties of other commercial fruit crops in the grocery story, those are usually achieved by selective breeding. And – since the plants have no seeds – they are reproduced using plant cuttings or other methods of vegetative propagation.
Gasser is hopeful that discovery of this new gene could open the way to produce seedless varieties in sugar apple, cherimoya and perhaps other fruit crops.
In addition to its implication for commercial crops, the team's research also sheds light on the evolution of flowering plants, Gasser said. Cherimoya and sugar apple belong to the magnolid family of plants, which branched off from the other flowering plants quite early in their evolution.
"It's a link all the way back to the beginning of the angiosperms," Gasser said, referring to the large group of plants and trees characterized by having flowers and seeds.
The researchers published a paper on describing their work in the March 14 issue of the scientific journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. Their research was funded by grants from the Spanish government, the European Union and the U.S. National Science Foundation.

Spirited Traveller: Rye look at Baltimore's hometown whiskey
By Kara Newman
NEW YORK (Reuters) - Although I've long been a fan of rye whiskey and its intense, spicy bite, until this week I'd never heard of softer Maryland-style rye. And now, my Manhattan may never be the same.
"Baltimore historically was a rye whiskey producing city," explains Corey Polyoka, bar director at Woodberry Kitchen (www.woodberrykitchen.com/).
"Before Prohibition, New York was a martini town and Baltimore was a Manhattan town. We loved, and still love, rye whiskey."
This makes perfect sense. Americans began distilling rye whiskey, made with a mash bill of at least 51 percent rye grain, from the abundantly growing rye after the American Revolution brought the rum trade to a halt.
Maryland-style ryes were typically sweet and light, Polyoka recounts, while Maryland's sister state to the north, Pennsylvania, produced a more robust style, closer to most rye whiskeys available on the market today.
These days, very little (if any) rye is made in either state - Kentucky firmly dominates America's whiskey trade. But one brand, Pikesville, is still made using a Maryland recipe, and in Baltimore the brand is downright beloved for its hometown provenance.
Pikesville whiskey is consumed straight up as a shot, or in cocktails such as the Manhampden, Woodberry's riff on the classic Manhattan (recipe below). Pikesville Supreme was purchased by Heaven Hill in 1982 (the same brand that makes Rittenhouse Rye), but it's still made in the softer, fruitier Potomac style.
In addition to his own establishment, Polyoka also recommends B&O Brasserie (www.bandorestaurant.com/), located downtown in Hotel Monaco, as well as Grand Cru (www.grandcrubaltimore.com/) in Belevedere Square as a great after-work watering hole, with a "busy happy hour" and strong cocktail, beer and wine list.

Open carry!
This is a discussion on The Virginia Two-Step: Restaurants-Open Carry or Car? :MERGED now w/ poll within the Open Carry Issues & Discussions forums, part of the Defensive Carry Discussions category; Turbo, Thanks for the heads up....
Lock it up in the car and don't carry at all.
Simply expose the weapon in its IWB holster.
Change from an IWB holster to an OWB holster.
I carry OWB anyway so I just take off the cover.
Turbo, Thanks for the heads up.
SB476 passed in the senate with an amendment. sent ot the house for passage. Anybody know what the amendment was?
Anti-gun Senator McEachin had an amendment that would have required
that you identify yourself to the restaurant as a CHP holder and then
wear some kind of insignia so that the staff wouldn't serve you
alcohol!!! So Senator McEachin thinks permit holders should wear a
"scarlet letter," as if we are criminals or should be ashamed of
The only person I am ashamed of is Senator McEachin.
Senator Hanger offered a substitute amendment that would require the
permit holder to let a restaurant staff member know that you are
carrying, but that is all. He offered that amendment to make sure he
had enough votes to get the bill passed. And the bill did, with that
VCDL is not thrilled with that amendment, obviously. Imagine telling
an 18 year old waitress, "Hi! I have a gun!" We will be looking at
options to improve the bill in the House and have some new wording
Saslaw lied by saying that anyone who dared to carry openly in a NoVA
restaurant would be kicked out. His implication was that no one was
open carrying in restaurants now and that no one could say that gun
owners were carrying around alcohol currently.
A vote is like a rifle, its usefulness is based on the character of the user -T Roosevelt
If you carry a gun, some will call you paranoid. If I carry, what do I have to be paranoid about? -C Smith
An unarmed man can only flee from evil, and evil is not overcome by fleeing from it. -J Cooper
thank you I am astonished and appalled
The bill is out the house militia committee as of yesterday and will be voted on by the full house shortly. Rep Barlow from Smithfield voted nay. Take note if he is in your district. No word on any hose amendments. The castle docterine bill never made it out of committee.
well I am aware of an instance where in a Resturant in Texas a woman lost her parents because she left her handgun outside in her car, due to a new law saying she had to. The guy who killed them was just executing people until the cops finally showed up, the lady later said that she had done something stupid "I obeyed a bad law"
I am sworn to protect the Constitution of the U.S.A. from all threats both foreign and domestic.
btw the stupid amendment that you have to tell a designated person that you have a chl is still in the law. You might as well open carry for all the help this law is. Our legislators do not have a clue....
What if the restaurant fails to designate a person? Should that person's name and picture be posted somewhere?
Not a problem here in FL...CC only...
Given the VA choice, I would always OC rather than keep my weapon in the car...safer all the way around!
My only concern is to be armed safely & legally!

You could check out the VA open carry experiences here.
Most cases no one makes a scene at restaurants that allow guns when they see someone carrying.
So, for all you VA folks who choose to dine at real restaurants (which happen to serve the demon alkee-hol ), how do you handle the transition to open carry? Have you ever had any problems with your OC method in such places? (I know this is close to one of RamRod's polls, but I am keeping this specific to Virginia.)
Thanks for the input!

Usually for us it's as simple as taking off a sweater or tucking in a shirt. Often, if I know I'm going to be going somewhere that serves alcohol, I will wear a small matching vest and just remove the vest when I enter the restaurant. If going to said restaurant is a spur of the moment thing, I simply tuck my shirt behind my gun or remove whatever cover garment I'm wearing.
It's really not that difficult.
I've never had one single negative encounter because of this. Mostly, I think, because I practice DISCREET open carry such as walking with my gun side to the wall, Slinging my purse over my right shoulder so that only a direct glance from the front or back will make it known.
There are ways to limit the amount of visibility without concealing the gun and no one can complain that it's not open because it certainly is.
The only encounter I ever had was while we were leaving a restaurant with my family one night. We were just about to walk out the door and I had turned to ask my mother a question and the manager got a full and COMPLETE view of Wilson.
He said, "My God, is that a gun?!?"
To which my mother replied, "Yes, it is! And you should see her shoot. She's better than Annie Oakley.
I tried to shush her but she kept going on and on until the manager smiled. I think it dawned on him that we have already eaten, chatted, dined and were leaving and no one had gotten hurt or held up.
Other than that I've never had anyone even look twice (personally, I don't think anyone really notices it.)

Never afraid to embrace new technology as soon as it becomes available Supermicro delivered the very first EM64T server solution and hit the market some two months ahead of the competition. Reviewed here as the Mission 8102 from Systemax this slimline 1U rack server brings together a quality partnership of the Supermicro SC813 chassis and X6DHR-8G motherboard.
Supermicro has for many years excelled in low–profile rack server design, mainly because it made sure it got it right first time and the Mission 8102 packs a lot into a chassis that's only 1.75in high. Storage potential is good, as four hot-swap drive bays have been squeezed into the front panel and the price includes three Fujitsu 33.6GB Ultra320 hard disks. Floppy and 24x low-profile CD-ROM drives are slotted in above while to one side is an LED panel showing network and hard disk activity as well as power status.
The upper panel is removed easily and underneath awaits a very tidy interior. Due to the restricted space, cooling has to be a high priority and the motherboard has been designed to ensure that the processors and memory receive as much air flow as possible. Two large blower fans sit behind the drive bays and air is directed down through the processors' passive heatsinks, across the memory modules and out of the rear grills. The only drawback is higher noise levels, although Supermicro has made some effort to reduce this over previous examples.
The system came supplied with a pair of 3.4GHz Xeons but this motherboard only supports DDR memory of which 1GB of the PC2700 variety was fitted. If you want DDR2 support opt for Supermicro's X6DHR-8G2 model. Storage is handled by an embedded dual channel Adaptec Ultra320 controller but you also get a credit-card sized Adaptec ASR-2015 Ultra320 zero-channel RAID controller which slots neatly into an SO-DIMM socket on the motherboard and takes over both SCSI channels.
Expansion slot options are a little muddled as the review system has a pair of 133MHz PCI-X slots which are converted to full- and half-length 64bit horizontal slots with a small riser card. PCI Express support requires a different riser card which only provides a single x8 PCI Express slot.
Server management is Supermicro's weakest area although the motherboard does have a second SO-DIMM socket for the optional IPMI (intelligent platform management) 2.0 compliant controller card. Although not available at the time of writing this will provide full remote access to the server with support for new features including the 'Serial over LAN' features and improved network discovery tools. The card is accessed from Supermicro's IPMI View utility which provides a dashboard of dials for temperatures, fan speeds and voltages and full remote control over power. General remote management tools are provided by Supermicro's SuperO Doctor III utility which offers a slick browser interface. Although not as good as the software offered by Dell and HP it does provide plenty of system information and you can monitor the health of various critical components, manage power cycling and send out email warnings if a problem is detected.
The Mission 8102 manages to pack a lot into this 1U chassis and all at a very low price. Unfortunately it's beaten soundly by HP and Dell for local and remote management and monitoring features, and if your server is mission critical, you want to be able to monitor and manage it from anywhere with ease.

Distinguished Federal Government Service Award recognizes dedicated, honorable service
Albany Stratton VA Medical Center – Sean Tuckey, Marine veteran and Health Science Specialist of the Albany VA Behavioral VA Care (BVAC) Line recently was awarded the distinguished Federal Government Service – "Rookie of the Year" award.
Tuckey began work at the Stratton VA in August, 2010. Within less than a year, Mr. Tuckey had displayed strong leadership traits in his approach to patient care and community service collaboration. A provider with excellent multitasking skills, Tuckey works with the OEF/OIF/OND (Operation Enduring Freedom/Operation Iraqi Freedom/Operation New Dawn) program, Chemical Dependence Rehab Program, Outpatient Behavioral Health clinic, and Emergency Room as well as providing coverage for the Veterans Justice Outreach Program.
Mr. Tuckey's dedication to helping Veterans is commendable. He helps them understand the services available and goes out of his way to engage veterans, going above and beyond assigned duties to ensure that the Veterans he serves are cared for in the best manner possible. In addition to his service to Veterans, Tuckey also helps educate the community, passing on his knowledge of available services in addition to educating community providers. Mr. Tuckey also guest lectures on Community Mental Health and Veterans Topics throughout NY.
Tuckey, a veteran himself, was in the Marine Reserves from 2000-2008, serving with Bravo Co.-8th Tank Battalion and Echo Co.-4th Light Armored Reconnaissance Battalion. Tuckey deployed in 2003 with Delta Co.-2nd Tank battalion as part of the 5th Marine Regimental Combat team during the initial combat operations of Operation Iraqi Freedom, which participated in the longest mechanized assault in Marine history. From 2006 to 2008 he functioned as a Platoon Sergeant for 45 Marines. Tuckey completed the Corporals and Sergeants Leadership Courses and was awarded several awards including the: Navy Achievement Medal; Combat Action Ribbon; Presidential Unit Citation; and Global War on Terrorism Expeditionary Medal; to name a few.
Prior to working for the VA, Tuckey worked in Community Mental Health coordinating services between the local mental health and legal systems. In February, 2010, he provided testimony for the NYS Assembly Standing Committees on Mental Health, Alcoholism and Drug Abuse, and Veterans Affairs. In November, 2010, at the request of the NYS Office of Mental Health, he provided the annual Alcohol and Substance Abuse Awareness Training to the Marine Air Wing Division in Newburgh, NY.
Sean Tuckey seeks out opportunities which will allow him to provide information to others with hopes of enrolling veterans into treatment and accessing services, exemplifying the VISN 2 mission "to care for our veterans with compassion and excellence."

Pizza in the news
According to Zagat's

5 of the top 11 worst US fast food chains ranked / researched by Consumer Reports were pizza places. Not surprising though...spoiler alert - the WORST are: Little Caesars, Domino's, Pizza Hut, Cici's and Sbarro.
It's too bad with all the amazing pizza places in the US, consumers are fat, lazy and dumb and will continue to opt for fast food with cheap and horrible ingredients to natural, good tasting food. It may cost a little more up front, but the health benefits and less calories will equate to more money in your pocket in the long run.

Pizza chains have been chugging along with their famous 5 (pepperoni, sausage, veggies, cheese, and hawaiian - not a topping, but...) topping choices for years. But consumers have asked and the chains are now delivering.
Pizza chains are opting to give consumers a host of new topping choices. Some out of the ordinary, some expected.

Generally, pizza will stay fresh in your refrigerator for 3-4 days.
It will stay fresh in your freezer for 1-2 months.
Keep that in mind next time you can't finish your delivery.
