On Fox, radio host Mark Williams claimed Kerry has "got to be on crack" for recent Iraq comments
Research ››› ››› ROB DIETZ
On Fox News' Your World, radio host Mark Williams claimed that Sen. John Kerry -- who recently stated that his vote in favor of authorizing the invasion of Iraq was a mistake -- has "got to be on crack" and that weapons of mass destruction were found in the form of "300,000 people in mass graves."
On the June 13 edition of Fox News' Your World, radio host Mark Williams claimed that Sen. John Kerry (D-MA) has "got to be on crack," after host Neil Cavuto played a portion of a speech Kerry made at the "Take Back America" conference in which Kerry said, "I was wrong to vote for that Iraqi war resolution."
Later in the interview, which also involved radio host Nancy Skinner, Williams said that "we have eliminated the Iraqi weapons of mass destruction program." When Skinner challenged Williams's remark by noting that "we found no weapons of mass destruction," Williams replied: "Yes, the 300,000 people in mass graves found them for you, Nancy."
From the June 13 edition of Fox News' Your World with Neil Cavuto:
CAVUTO: Kerry plans to offer an amendment to a bill this week that would pull our forces from the region by the end of the year. Mark Williams says this so-called cut-and-run strategy will backfire on Democrats, but Nancy Skinner disagrees. Both are talk show hosts. So, Mark, not a fan of this, huh?
WILLIAMS: Senator Kerry, check your watch, I think it stopped a few years ago. Yeah, as I cracked on my radio show last week after [Al Qaeda in Iraq leader Abu Musab] al-Zarqawi was killed, I said, "Al-Zarqawi dead, Democrats vow to fight on despite loss." Apparently John Kerry is making that crack headline for real. He's got to be on crack. What have we done in Iraq in the last three years? Let me see: We've overthrown a dictator, we've eliminated the Iraqi weapons of mass destruction program, we've ended the oppression and the starvation and the genocide of a country of 25 million people, and freed them. We've had one, two, three elections. We've had an interim government, we've got a permanent government. The country is coming together; things are good.
WILLIAMS: Well, if we -- first of all, what do you think by exit strategy? Exit strategy is win the war. I would like you to explain the exit strategy from the Second World War to me because we still have troops on the ground. What we're seeing in Iraq is that winning of the war. Did we use overwhelming force? Absolutely. Have you been there? Have you seen the overwhelming force? Do you see an Iraqi Republican Guard under the rule of Saddam Hussein? Do you see a weapons of mass destruction program?
SKINNER: There wasn't a weapons of mass destruction program.
WILLIAMS: No, what you see is a real country that has never been a real country, other than under a dictator, forging itself despite their differences, despite the ethnic differences, despite the fact that these people were held together by force. They are coming out of the woodwork now to form a country.
SKINNER: Mark, Mark. You said twice --
WILLIAMS: And they're dropping dimes on the bad guys left and right.
SKINNER: You said twice there was a weapons of mass destruction program. We found no weapons of mass destruction. And the problem is now we have the Sunni -- let me just finish --
WILLIAMS: Yeah, the 300,000 people in mass graves found them for you, Nancy.
SKINNER: That's not the weapons of mass destruction program.
WILLIAMS: The 300,000 people in mass graves who were gassed found them for you.
CAVUTO: All right, guys. You know what, you both articulate your position, but Nancy, finish your point real quickly.
SKINNER: We have Sunnis battling Shias, and the militias and security are infiltrated. Now, I don't call that winning our objective, Mark.
CAVUTO: OK, Nancy, final word. Mark, thank you as well.

What do you mean by 'publisher'? The usual suspects, or new companies with a business model tailored specifically to the e-market?

- Joseph L. Selby said...
I disagree. While Amazon playing David to the established industry's Goliath may let Bezos fulfill his dream of being a publisher, the customer is the one who will make the final decision in this market and neither Amazon nor the industry will end up in the direction they are currently headed.
More importantly, there is plenty of fat to be trimmed out of how the industry currently does business. While it's not known for changing quickly, the metamorphosis that is forced on it by consumer demand (and not distributor demand) will leave those houses that endure better for the experience.
I don't understand why all these either/or scenarios keep leaving the customer out of the decision making process.
- March 12, 2010 at 12:44 PM
- Nathan Bransford said...
It's two way of saying the same thing. You're saying the consumer will decide the pricing, and I agree with you. The counterpart of that is that the big e-booksellers will lower prices and possibly start a price war in order to meet the consumers where they are. The latter is the process I described, the former is what you're saying, but I see them both as two sides of the same coin.
The end result is the same as well - we're both saying that if this scenario comes to pass, what's left of the publishing industry will be much leaner and looking much different than what we have now.
- March 12, 2010 at 12:48 PM
- Joseph L. Selby said...
Except that you're saying it turned into a cockroach, and I'm saying it turned into a butterfly. I think the industry will shrug off a lot of its fat and get healthier in the process. There may be some destructive creation, but I don't think this is the most depressing end. I think this is the most desirable (and most likely) end.
- March 12, 2010 at 3:55 PM
- Nathan Bransford said...
Well, I really don't know that there's much "fat" to trim in this industry, and I don't see the consolidation of power into a few huge companies as a democratizing force. It may well force the industry into a leaner model, but if that's the case it probably means consolidation around a small handful of megabestsellers and everyone else getting a not-great deal. Sure, people will still write books and good books would still be written and the world will keep turning, but I don't see it as a particularly ideal situation.

Sales forum messed up?
Hey guys just wondering whats going on in the sales forum...i cant see any new postings...but when i do i cant post anything or i see that theres a "0" to the replies...
something going on here?
The format has been changed in there, check out the board changes and suggestions sub forum for more info
ahhs i just got a reply saying it changed...i dont like change...
I have to say, I like the old one better. Now, I can't see the updates. I want to know what my sellers are selling! ARH
haha its very discouraging actually...
im assuming your gona have to PM with any questions...makes it more complicated for the seller.
Not really a problem. Updates would appear directly in the op.
I think every one was getting a bit tired of all the off topic bumps which really had nothing todo with the sales themselves. Honestly, I like reading what the op has to post, and not have to read through all the nonsense from everyone else.
If you don't like the new sns format, let the mods know. If you have something specific to raise regarding a sns offering, pm the seller. Couldn't be more obvious thuan that. I find it's a step in the right direction.
Meh I find that other peoples post are usually interesting and often answer Faq's. But I guess its all personal preference.
I agree sometime useless bumps are annoying
Chatting causes bumping of threads which causes other more "silent" threads to be bumped off the first few pages. This causes people to complain....
You can still edit your OP for 10 days then your OP is locked and you can't edit anymore. Besides, what's a few extra PM's gonna do to you?...
And few extra pm's are no biggie if you have nothing better to do than this, but for those of us who work multiple jobs or who are just very busy, it can be a huge headache.
Well apparently enough people complained long enough to convince the mods/Kyle to make the change.
For those to are busier than the rest of us on this forum generally wouldn't keep many tanks in the first place, thus lowering their presence in the SnS, lowering the amount of PM's they'd get from sales.

Nurturing Children's Imagination and Consciousness
Horst Kornberger
I knew Horst Kornberger about 20 years ago (though it is hard to imagine that so much time has intervened) – I found him to be one of the most powerfully creative people I had ever met. His humor and balance were met with extraordinary vision and a capacity to manifest that vision within a cloak of remarkable beauty. He remains the sole painter of my experience whose work is truly inspired by personal insight nurtured by anthroposophy, as distinct from works inspired by Steiner's lectures on, say, color. His paintings always took my breath away.
That being said, his book The Power of Stories also takes my breath away – it is drenched with the same artistic insight and warm understanding that I best remember Horst as offering to everyone he met. It is beautiful, it is inspiring, it is elucidating. You'll find yourself in a world of images and passageways, in the world of young children and deep imaginations, in the world of your favorite stories. Through his text, you'll also find yourself understanding within yourself how it is that stories heal and move us forward as human beings.
This is an amazing book – one which will remain a gift to children and the world for years and years and years.

The New York Post's Jonathan Foreman complained that "its plot makes decreasing sense, even by the low standards of B horror flicks". He gave it a star.
And, according to the Washington Post's Desson Howe, the film makers' "idea of a horror film is to create a thousand false alarms in which an apparent stalker turns out to be ... someone's friend. After the seventh time," he said, "you really want to pull your own teeth out."

Hi everyone!
Getting caught back up on the forum after a 10-day mission trip to Rwanda. We had an amazing time, the culture is so much different than here in the states. For anyone who is unfamiliar, Rwanda is in the middle of Africa near Lake Victoria; it's a very small country (maybe 150 miles across) that experienced a gut-wrenching genocide in 1994. Because of that, weapons of all types are restricted and illegal to carry.
So for the last 10 days I have been dependent on my kenpo skills and situational awareness. I never felt unsafe, but was a little more careful with interactions than normal. :)
The other significant item I noticed was that they have a presidential election coming up on August 8th, and they are concerned about violence. So they have beefed up police presence in the rural areas to keep everyone calm. (we were working in the Nyagatare sector for anyone who might know Rwanda) That presence included random checkpoints on the road that consisted of two police officers, one of whom was carrying an AK. Some were nice, some looked like they had been used as boat oars. I also saw security guards in the capital city of Kigali carrying 12 gauge shotguns that look like they were purchased in 1995 and last cleaned in 1997.
Anyway, I am glad to be back in the land of hot showers and the Bill of Rights. :king: I will be leaving my home today while recovering from jet lag (31 hours of flying to get home) and carrying my faithful Kimber.

Can kitten ear mites hurt my family?
Hello I have a kitten that i believe has ear mites I do not see him scratch but he hides all the time. If he does have ear mites is my family able to catch them? He sleeps on the bed and he is around the house from time to time and also around our clothes, sheets, blankets, etc, can they get stuck in fabric such as the things listed above? Will washing them flush them away and kill them? Can my family and I get them if they get on any part of our body?

- Cast your vote for which answer you think is best!
It's not common, but it is possible especially if he sleeps on your bed or clothing. Signs of ear mites are lots of scratching of the ears and face and brown discharge from the ears. DO NOT attempt to wash, flush, medicate or dig around with anything in his ears yourself. First, you need to determine whether his problem IS ear mites and for that you need a vet. If he hasn't been to a vet yet then he needs to go for an exam and vaccinations to keep him healthy. At that time, the vet can examine his ears and if he does have mites, prescribe medication and clean them for him.

text: The subjects who showed relative reductions in CRP were diabetics on metformin, the most common drug used to treat diabetes. The diabetics were twice as likely to have a reduction in CRP levels, as compared with other subjects in the "Flint" study who had other non-diabetes medical disorders. After one month of supplementation, CRP levels dropped in 26% of the subjects with diabetes, compared with a drop in CRP levels in 12% of the general trial population of subjects who did not have diabetes. The goal of the study was to find specific sub-populations in which the Anatabloc® supplement might be of benefit; therefore, this finding, though based on a small number of diabetics (18 in the total study population), is very encouraging. The investigators are currently evaluating whether to modify the rest of the study or conduct a study focused on diabetes.Elevated CRP is predictive in other studies for the onset of both metabolic syndrome as well as overt diabetes, and elevated CRP is a significant risk factor for cardiovascular disease both in diabetics and non-diabetics. Lowering CRP would be strong evidence of a potential benefit in reducing the inflammatory component in adult onset diabetes, an epidemic problem in the United States. Dr. Michael Mullan, MD, PhD, of the Roskamp Institute that sponsored the study, said, "We are still looking at the data to define which interleukins are most strongly affected, but when we conducted the CRP breakout analysis by disease, the late onset diabetics showed a strong statistical trend to have lower CRP with anatabine treatment compared to the non-diabetics. It will take more work beyond this interim look to confirm this in a larger sample." 464 subjects have been screened for the "Flint" study, and 117 subjects have completed the study.

of shyness or withdrawal may appear as part of the student's overall
personality or as a situation-specific response to a particular
stress factor. Children are especially susceptible to
self-consciousness in social situations that make them feel
conspicuous and psychologically unprotected. Other types of social
unresponsiveness may result from specific experiences or
environmental causes. Some children have not developed effective
conversational skills because their parents seldom converse with
them or respond positively to their verbal initiations, and they
have not had much opportunity to interact with peers. This
circumstance may explain some of the shyness seen in kindergarten
and first grade. Children starting school for the first time may
exhibit SCHOOL PHOBIA (usually fear of the unknown or unwillingness
to be separated from the parent, rather than a specific negative
reaction to the teacher or the school). Social anxiety can also
develop as an ongoing reaction to repeated failure, mistreatment, or
rejection from adults or peers. Some students may show good peer
group adjustment and ability to interact socially with the teacher,
but they may display communication apprehension when asked to answer
academic questions, perform in public, or engage in an activity that
they know will be evaluated. Finally, many students experience at
least temporary social adjustment problems when they change schools
or classes
Strategies for coping with shy or withdrawn
students include peer involvement, teacher interventions, and other
kinds of psychological interventions.
PEER INVOLVEMENT. Several
authors have suggested treating shyness and withdrawal through peer
involvement (see Rosenberg et al., 1992, for a review). Such efforts
might include involving shy students in cross-age tutoring programs,
creating opportunities for them to play in pairs with younger
children, enlisting peers as confederates to draw out withdrawn
children, and involving them in small group, cooperative classroom
TEACHER INTERVENTIONS. Brophy (1995) surveyed effective
teachers to find out how they responded to shy students. The most
commonly mentioned responses included (1) changing the social
environment (e.g., seating them among friendly classmates or
assigning them to a partner or small group), (2) encouraging or
shaping increased responsiveness, (3) minimizing stress or
embarrassment, (4) engaging shy students in special activities,
and (5) involving them in frequent private talks. Conspicuously
absent from these teachers' responses was emphasis on threat or
OTHER INTERVENTIONS. Blanco and Bogacki's (1988)
recommendations from school psychologists for coping with general
student shyness or withdrawal echo many of these same themes. They
suggested encouraging children to join volunteer groups or
recreational organizations outside of school; involving them
frequently in small-group, cooperative interaction with peers; using
them as peer tutors; determining their peer preferences and seating
them near preferred peers; leading but not forcing them to
communicate; avoiding putting them in situations that would be
embarrassing or frightening; and assigning them to messenger roles
or other tasks that require communication. For students whose
withdrawal symptoms include excessive daydreaming, researchers
suggest calling on them frequently, standing near them to ensure
attention, making sure that they get started successfully on their
assignment at the beginning of work time rather than scolding them
for daydreaming, stressing the need for attention and participation,
and assigning partners to work with them and keep them involved. The
following specific teacher strategies for coping with shy or
withdrawn students are suggested by the work of several researchers
over the last two decades (Honig, 1987; McIntyre, 1989; Thompson &
Rudolph, 1992; Brophy, 1995):
Shy children may need direct
instruction in social skills, such as those included in various
social skills training programs intended for elementary school
students. For more information on such programs, including a
description of a program that included collaboration between
teachers and parents, see Sheridan, Kratochwill, and
Elliott (1990).
CONCLUSION Teachers may be able to help shy and
withdrawn students considerably by using strategies that are
relatively easy to implement and well matched to the teacher's basic
role as a helpful instructor to students. These strategies include
providing self-concept support, encouragement, and opportunities to
develop confidence and comfort in the classroom to shy and inhibited
students, as well as closer monitoring, improved nonverbal
communication, environmental engineering, and instructive
suggestions or demands for improved concentration designed to
maintain the attention of students prone to withdrawal or
daydreaming. Most teachers seem to develop an intuitive
understanding of some of the needs of shy or withdrawn students, but
many could meet these needs more effectively by systematically
applying the principles and strategies highlighted

Im going to a community college, it is a much better option. You get the exact same training and same associates degree. You dont need to pay 40 grand for one of those for profit schools. I almost went to Le Cordon Bleu, what a rip off. Im paying 7 grand for the same degree at the CC. Those for profit schools will take anyone, and will also give the degree to anyone.

Charlotte's Web Activity… Charlotte's Spiderweb Pizza
A while back I asked my little sister (a bookworm by nature) if she thought the kids were too young for me to start reading Harry Potter to them. She made the saddest face and said she really wished I wouldn't. "They WILL read Harry Potter. There is no question. They'll read it on their own or with you later. They may not go back and read books like Charlotte's Web and Tom Sawyer. Read those now." (Okay I was paraphrasing but you get the idea.) What she said struck a cord with me and we picked up Charlotte's Web immediately. While reading I jotted down activities that would make reading this classic even better. (I often keep notes about how Continue Reading

For the last couple of weeks we have been putting a "twist" into our sight word practice, with Sight Word Twister. (I did giggle a little about that one.) I used chalk to make this sight word twister board. (I soaked the chalk in water first and I am not kidding that chalk had been there for two weeks when I took this picture!)

My WRX has been at the shop for the last 2 months now. The garage is installing a new (stock) turbo, and checking all of the torque specifications throughout. They claim they cannot torque the head bolts because it requires a special tool that is no longer made, and they cannot buy. Their solution is they are going to make one???. My question is: Is there really a special tool needed to do this, or am I getting jerked around? I want/need my car back.!.

Superstition aside, these sculptures made from shards of mirrors were created by artist Lilibeth Cuenca Rasmussen. If you look at the photographs carefully, in addition to the sculptures a person in a similar mirror-suit moves throughout the gallery. The gallery also projects a video for this exhibit featuring a person in this mirror-suit moving through commercial spaces in South East Asia and Denmark. It is interesting noticing the virtually universal nature of mannequins. Rasmussen brings out that they allow us to imagine the way clothes will look on us, but on a deeper level we project what we want to be on them. Similarly, these sculptures literally reflect those gazing at them. [via]

Squid Soup's Motion-Responsive Sea Of LED Lights
Submergence, Oslo from squidsoup on Vimeo.
Submergence is the newest project from the artist collective known as Squidsoup. Chains of multicolored LED lights – 8,064 lights to be exact – are carefully hung for the installation. A colorful and immersive environment, Submergence is intended to be experienced from within the installation. The piece performs complex programmed patterns and is responsive to movement. In fact the piece runs through a four parts to create a twenty minute movement-responsive piece. Check out these four parts in the video after the jump.
Precariously Perched Concrete Blocks By Fabrice Le Nezet
Artist and designer Fabrice Le Nezet's series Measure precariously positions concrete blocks. Using metal tubing, Le Nezet supports the concrete in way that makes the industrial materials seem nearly organic. The brightly colored pipes cling to the concrete like webs. His intention with the work was to make the materials and its weight easily felt. He says:
"I worked here on a physical representation of the idea of measure. The objective was to 'materialize' tension in a sense, to make the notions of weight, distance and angle palpable…This work lies in the context of my search for purification around raw materials such as concrete and metal. This is why I played with simple shapes which catch light and transcend the volume structure."
Sohei Nishino's Collaged City Maps
Photographer Sohei Nishino creates unique maps to document memories more than geography. An avid traveler, Sohei snaps countless photographs on his trips around the world. By hand, he recreates the city from his many images as one large collage. Not intended to be accurate representation, the 'map' is a record of the city as he experienced it. He's recorded trips to cities such as London, Paris, Jerusalem, Istanbul, Osaka, Berlin, and more. To get an idea of the way the concept works check out the first two images – a 'map' of New York and details from the collage.
Chinn Wang's Screen Printed Wood Heraldry
Chinn Wang creates an eye-catching brand of pop art. Primarily working in screenprinting, she's executed these piece directly on wood. The work retains a charming flatness associated with screen printing while adding depth by printing on wood. Her mix of new and old imagery and contrasting colors makes her art hard to pull away from. Her Heraldry series is an excellent example. Just as medieval heraldry made use of complex symbolism, Wang crests likewise make use of modern imagery.
Beth Galton's Photographs Of Cut Soup, Doughnuts, Coffee And More
Beth Galton's series Cut Food is a side of food photography rarely seen – the inside. Galton is a prolific photographer specializing in food. While she works primarily in advertising and commercial photography, Cut Food is one of several conceptual projects from Galton. The series captures common foods, though some not so commonly sliced in half. Canned soups and a cup of coffee seem to rest perfectly in half of a container. In order to catch some of these Galton replaced the liquids in the foods with a gelatin.
Anya Gallaccio's 10,000 Dying Roses
Anya Gallaccio's installation Red on Green may leave elicit a different reaction depending on when you catch the show. Gallaccio plucked the heads of 10,000 roses and arranged them into large neat rectangle. At first the installation may resemble a grand romantic gesture. However, Gallaccio's interest is piqued by what the installation becomes. In a way Red on Green turns into a type of natural performance as the field of red shifts to brown. She utilizes the loaded symbol of the rose as a starting point for investigating the natural processes of death and decay.
Rhinestoned Fish And Painted Taxidermy
The artwork of Cassandra Smith exists in the space between juxtapositions. Taxidermied animals are often a bit creepy. However, Smith's stuffed forest friends are also playfully decorated – fish covered in rhinestones, and fur in bright paint. The natural plays with the synthetic, old with the new, and utilitarian with the decorative. She says of her work:
"My work is about manipulations and transformation. It is about exploring the ways that I can enhance and change found objects to give them something they did not have in their former life." [via]

Scientology Fact Of The Day
Do you remember the incident the other day that occurred between Jenna Elfman and the the film director John Roecker who was wearing the "Scientology Is Gay" t-shirt? She asked him the bizarre question, "Have you raped a baby?" Well, there is a specific reason why she asked him that question.
"It's one of the questions Scientologists are asked by Scientology leaders when they've misbehaved," a source familiar with the religion explains.
That's just freaky. What kind of frickin' religion is this?

Fiction meet Reality, Reality - Fiction
WHEN Robert Harris's cracking political thriller The Ghost was published in 2007, nobody doubted that the author's former friend, Tony Blair, was the model for Adam Lang: a former British prime minister who embarked on an illegal war in the Middle East and who faces extradition to The Hague, if he leaves the US, for his complicity in the capture and torture of alleged terrorists. The book wasn't a roman-a-clef exactly but pretty damned close to one.
Three tumultuous years later comes a gripping new film of the novel that, Harris says, seems "more like a documentary than a fantasy".
The Ghost Writer -- co-scripted by Harris and director Roman Polanski -- stars Ewan McGregor as the unnamed ghostwriter hired to rescue Lang's memoir after the mysterious death of the original author. Pierce Brosnan also stars as the beleaguered Lang. Continued

People who want to check out reviews of "The Ghost Writer" can find around 175 of them at www.IMDB.com, where plenty of users gave the mystery, ... film a high average rating of nearly 8 out of 10.
Go to the website, enter the title of the film for the search term, then, in the resulting page, open the page for the film, and the external reviews page is then linked down the left-hand-side of the page a little.
There are reviews by Roger Ebert at Chicago Sun Times, someone at Salon.com, and very many others. I usually only look for his and if there isn't one for a film, then I just check what imdb users say. The latter can take longer though because some users of imdb are not competent film reviewers, or reviewers of anything, and it can take a little while before coming to competent reviews. But I check for the competent user reviews.
Anyway, Ebert rates "The Ghost Writer" fiction 4 of 4 stars. His readers give this an average 3 of 4 stars.
When the rating is high at imdb, Ebert gives a top rating and his readers give a good average rating, then we can be sure the film is well made, et cetera. And they also review documentaries.
So we have this and the clearly favourable review from The Australian to be able to realize that this is a film certainly worth seeing, for anyone wishing to see a film that's fiction while strongly depictive of or similar to reality. According to Ebert, even the person in the Washington role that Condoleeza Rice held during the first Bush-Cheney term looks enough like her.
It's definitely like this film was meant to send a real message about ugly reality.

Special Order
"This book, T'ai Chi Ch'uan Ta Wen, was written sixty years ago by Professor Ch'en Wei-ming, who was a famous exponent of the Yang style T'ai Chi Ch'uan and a student of the great master, Yang Cheng-fu. In 1927 he established the Chih Jou School in Shanghai where he taught many students. At that time he saw how popular T'ai Chi Ch'uan was becoming and he was concerned that if it became a fad it would lose its original spirit. In the process of its being spread, its principles would be forgotten or mixed with other forms, thus leading to the loss of an important part of its essence. Therefore, this book is based only on what Professor Ch'en heard in his teacher's classes. The questions are his own personal questions."
-Benjamin Pang Jeng Lo, from the Introduction.

On winning the series
"No question about it I think Coach Holbrook said it the best last year. He kept challenging our guys. No matter what happens in the series you have to win on Sunday. Sunday is a pivotal game as far as the way your whole season unfolds. And if you can win a lot of Sunday games, you're probably going to be in a good position."

Since I know we're gearing up for dieting season, I think it's a good time to confess I've never been a fan of fad diets. They make ridiculous promises. Sure, you may drop 10 pounds in a week eating cabbage soup, and little else, but it's water weight, not fat. (What about fasting to jumpstart weight loss and other "too-good-to-be-true" diet claims?) Once you go back to eating like a normal person you'll gain it right back. That's the biggest problem with most fad diets: they generally don't give you eating patterns that you can stick to long-term. Essentially, they set you up to fail. (...read full post »

The study everyone is referring to is out of Princeton and reported that rats given access to high-fructose corn syrup gained significantly more weight than those exposed to table sugar, even when they consumed the same number of calories overall. My first reaction was, "Oh no! Had we gotten it all wrong?"

I can't wait to dye Easter eggs with my son for the first time this year. I know he's really going to enjoy it because, at 1 year old, he's really into dipping things. I like dyeing Easter eggs for two reasons: exercising artistic flair with my egg decoration and having leftover hard-boiled eggs.

Budget-friendly recipes are a must. Can I really pull off holiday entertaining on a budget? I can, if I choose my menu wisely.
This year, I'll skip the expensive spiral ham I usually serve and make a frittata with ham in it instead. That way I can still have ham (what's a brunch without ham?!) but I can buy it in a smaller quantity. I'm going to keep it simple, but it's still going to be delicious—...read full post »

Submitted to: Journal of Animal Science
Publication Type: Peer Reviewed Journal
Publication Acceptance Date: 10/1/1996
Publication Date: N/A
Citation: N/A Interpretive Summary: Sperm production by boars is positively correlated with testicular size; thus, the current increase in usage of artificial insemination by swine producers places greater value on sperm production by individual boars. We determined that blood concentrations of follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) were correlated negatively with testicular size and sperm production. This sis contrary to expectations because FSH plays a significant role in regulation of testicular development and function. These findings will impact scientists through their design of subsequent studies. Additionally, this research established a method that could be used by producers to identify pubertal boars with greater potential for increased sperm production as adults.
Technical Abstract: Relationships between blood concentration of follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) and testicular size along with daily sperm production were evaluated with data obtained from five studies originally designed to investigate regulation of FSH secretion in Meishan (MS), White composite (WC) and crossbreds of these. A minimum of three blood samples/boar was obtained at tgreater than 4-d intervals for determination of FSH, and testes were obtained at castration or slaughter. In a random sample of boars, FSH was sixfold greater (P < .01) in MS than in WC boars (n = 22/group). Daily sperm production (DSP)/g of testis (estimated by counting elongated spermatid nuclei in testicular homogenates) was similar in these groups, but testicular weight (TWT), adjusted for body weight, was less (P < .01) in MS than in WC yielding lower total daily sperm production (TDSP; P < .05) in MS boars. In four populations (1 with MS, 1 with WC, and 2 with crossbreds; n = 34 males), boars were selected for extremes in FSH concentrations from larger groups. Threefold greater FSH was associated with smaller TWT of 1.6-fold (P < .01). Coincident with increased FSH, TDSP decreased twofold (P < .05). In 48 MS x WC boars that were selected for divergence in plasma FSH during pubertal development, this divergence was retained at one year (P < .01). Retrospectively, this divergence was also apparent at 2 and 8 wk of age (P < .05), and the boars with elevated FSH had smaller testicles, lower DSP and lower TDSP (P < .01). These studies document a negative relationship in mature boars between FSH secretion and testicular size accompanied with decreased TDSP.

Portrait photography of any kind requires a bit of patience and creativity. Not everyone is a model or a celebrity used to doing glamor shots and many of us (myself included) really don't like having our photos taken. However, with teenagers and adults, the practice of portrait photography is a bit simpler since they can (and will) follow instructions fairly well (on average). However, for young children and babies, the photographer needs a little help in learning just who is really going to run the session.
The most obvious bits of advice from that article at Photography Talk are also the ones I'd like to expand on a bit. It can be a little difficult for adults to get down and act silly with kids that aren't their own — especially in a more public setting — but it's very important in helping a young child respond more positively to you. If you have a few toys they can play with — things like building blocks, LEGOs, dolls, puzzles, or other age-appropriate things — then let them play for a bit. That will let the child get used to being in this new place and will give him or her something to concentrate on instead of how nervous or anxious they are. Once the child has started to get comfortable, sit down near them and join in their play. Ask if you can help them build a tower or ask them what they're building. Listen to them and respond appropriately. Once they've gotten used to you and are willing to talk to you without going through their parents (and resist the temptation to direct your comments to the parents or to let the parents answer in place of the child), then you can pull out the camera. Show it to the child and let them "play" with it a bit (don't let them go hog wild but do let them push a few buttons and turn the knobs. If you can't remember the settings you were going to use, then photographing kids may not be the biggest problem you have) and take a few of their own pictures.
Once they trust you and they understand what the camera is and why they need to look at it, the session will run much more smoothly. However, do understand that children do not have the stamina that adults possess so if they begin to get tired or bored, a meltdown may happen. Try to get the photos you need as quickly as you can so the child can go back to doing things that are important to him or her.
If you are photographing children too young to talk, then the more time spent playing with them and the more you let them poke and prod at your camera, the better things will go. Take a few "sample" photos with the baby watching you so that they can get used to hearing the shutter and any other noises the camera makes (such as the flash queuing up). The more accustomed to the camera they are, the less likely they are to become nervous.

Martha's Vineyard is an island off the coast of Massachusetts, USA, south of Cape Cod. It's about 88 square miles (230 square kilometres) and has roughly 15,000 inhabitants. It is the largest island on the east coast of the US, not connected by bridge or tunnel and is a popular summer getaway, mainly for US citizens. Together with Chappaquiddick if forms the Outer Lands region.
Foreign travellers who want to have a taste of the island are better of visiting in the shoulder season of May/June or September, when the weather is great and the crowds are far less.

Martha's Vineyard Airport (MVY) has flights to a number of destinations. Cape Air flies to Boston, Nantucket and Providence, among a few other places. Other airlines flying here are ExpressJet Airlines to Newark Liberty International Airport, Piedmont Airlines to New York LaGuardia, Philadelphia and Washington, D.C., and Colgan Air to LaGuardia and Hyannis in Massachusetts.
Some ferries take cars (see below), but book well in advance.
The Steamship Authority has ferries to/from Woods Hole (mainland Massachusetts) to Vineyard Haven (nine per day in summer) and to Oak Bluffs (five per day), a 45-minute voyage ($14 round-trip, car is $230!). Book well in advance if taken a car.
Island Queen has ferries from Falmouth ($15 round-trip), and Hyline Cruises from Hyannis ($37 slow ferry, $59 fast ferry, round-trip per adult), both to Oak Bluffs. Falmouth and Hyannis are both located in Massachusetts as well.
There are smaller ferries connecting Martha's Vineyard with Quonset Point in Rhode Island.

Martha's Vineyard Regional Transit Authority operates buses throughout the island and it costs $6 for a daypass, $15 for a 3-day pass
There are car rental companies, but prices are usually way higher compared to mainland US, so if you are planning on doing a lot of driving, just take the car by ferry, it works out cheaper.
Ferries regularly travel between Edgartown on Martha's Vineyard and Chappaquiddick island.

The Downside of Local Newspaper Ownership: A Cautionary TaleJon Fine
Wendy McCaw, ex-wife of cell-phone tycoon Craig McCaw, bought her local paper—the Santa Barbara News-Press—in 2000 from the New York Times Co.
Of late, things have gotten very colorful. LAObserved sums it up nicely:
It's definitely a lesson for those who wish for the Richard Riordans and David Geffens of the world to take over newspapers: be careful what you ask for.
But you do yourself a great disservice if you don't read the lavishly-detailed and ridiculously entertaining accounts of all the mishegas here, here and here.

2014 Grand Cherokee - MPG? Let the speculations begin!
Here is an interesting article (from 8/24) about 2013 Dodge Ram's MPG:
Apparently MPG (for V6) went from 14/20 to 18/25 which I think is fantastic. Seems like very similar technology was added that we will see in 2014 GC.
Obviously makes you wonder how much of an mpg bump 2014 will get for V6/V8 models. Diesel's mpg will be interesting as well.
Re: 2014 MPG - let the speculations begin
Wow, if thats the case for the Jeep as well thats SIGNIFICANT!!!
Re: 2014 MPG - let the speculations begin
the current V6's get better than that already.....on a recent short trip of 400 miles i got 22 in my wifes V6 Durango and that included a lot of city driving etc. I think on an all interstate, steady trip at 75 mph I could get 25-26 easy. 70 mph...probbaly a few better
Re: 2014 MPG - let the speculations begin
Re: 2014 MPG - let the speculations begin
According to this: http://www.fueleconomy.gov/feg/Power...00&srchtyp=ymm
The 2012 Chrysler 300 w/ 5 speed gets 18/27 for 21 combined, and w/ the 8 speed it gets 19/31 for 23 combined.
Re: 2014 MPG - let the speculations begin
The ram gets 25 hwy in 2 wheel drive according to this article http://i.autoblog.com/2012/08/24/201...-review-video/
I'm guessing 18/25 for the 4x4 jeep.
Re: 2014 MPG - let the speculations begin
A lot depends on the gearing and whether they modify the cams to be peakier (do not need as broad a torque range with an 8 speed). Looks like they are also smoothing the aerodynamics a bit.
That said, the EPA cycles are not steady state, there is quite a bit of acceleration: being able to meet the cycle without ever going into power enrichment is a key to a good rating. Also keep in mind that the cycle never exceeds 60 mph.
Re: 2014 MPG - let the speculations begin
As mentioned previously, the EPA testing is fairly inaccurate to actual driving. Certain other American car makers *cough* GM *cough* have exploited this on some of their newer vehicles, with models that have hugely amazing EPA ratings, but real life numbers fall far short of that.
EDIT: I think the logical thing to do is look at the most similar competition to the GC - the ML. With its 7 speed transmission (let's call this a wash with the 8 speed, because it's likely MB will have this transmission optimized better than the 8 speed will be by Jeep), more advanced engines than Jeep has (turbo V8s), and a gearing set more for economy than offroad prowess less weight, and a less rugged and more efficient awd system, the ML350 does 17/22 while the ML550 does 15/20. The VW Touareg with an 8 speed transmission is rated at 16/23 (admittedly, it's V6 is a bit outdated, but is still a great powerplant) despite being lighter and less offroadable than the Jeep.
I really don't see this transmission improving on the fuel economy that much, considering that the Jeeps already have stellar fuel economy compared to their rivals. The Touareg only gained 3 mpg when it went from the 6 speed to the 8 speed, and it also got a host of other changes including making it much lighter, making its 4x4 less rugged and more efficient, etc.
Again, I'd expect a 1-2 mpg difference in fuel economy with the 8 speed, based on empirical data.
Re: 2014 MPG - let the speculations begin
I will try to find the source/article, but I saw something that said Jeep was expecting about a 12% increase in gas mileage for the V6 between MY12 (5-spd) and MY14 (8-spd).
Re: 2014 MPG - let the speculations begin
Would wager any extra MPG on the EPA cycle would come from less power required on the accelleration stages and not steady state. Can't profitably drop the revs any lower than the current fifth below 60 mph.
I do think they could run the engine a bit cooler since they are using the variable oil pump.
Back in the day I recall one mfr getting in trouble for using lightweight synthetic breakin oil for the tests.
Re: 2014 MPG - let the speculations begin
Re: 2014 MPG - let the speculations begin
"blem wit" was that the owner's manual said "use dino".
My bet: 3.6 in '14 WK2 302hp: 4x2 18 city/25 highway & 4x4 17/25

Comments about Remo Fusion ProPack:
I've been playing 42 years and have tried many heads. For rock there is not a better head than Remo Pinstripe. You can tune them loose and deep and they will give you the cannon sound but with tone. My son plays Jazz in school and plays rock with his friends. We outfitted his Premier Artist Fusion kit with these. He tunes them tight for Jazz and they give him enough bounce to play jazz; Then loose in his rock band and those little fusion toms sound deep. They lst a long time and are hard to dent. The bass head feels a little hard at first but the tone is awesome. Don't waste you money on anything but these.
Comments about Remo Fusion ProPack:
In my opinion, Remo Pinsritpe heads are quite simply the best heads you can put on your kit. all 3 of my TAMA kits (1982 Swingstar, 1997 Starclassic, 2007 Superstar) are outfitted with them and they all sound great. Did the Evans heads and Aquarian heads but it always came back around to Pinstripes, for depth, punch, clarity and price. There is a reason that they are still the bestseller, quality and consistincey.
Comments about Remo Fusion ProPack:
these are amazing heads and sound great, I just put these on a few days ago and never though i could get my drum to sound as good as they do now. If you have the money buy these, I give them 5 star rating
Comments about Remo Fusion ProPack:
I would reccommend it to anyone
I have used several other heads before I tried these Remo's. I absolutely love them from the moment I put it on my set! The deep warm tones carry just the right amount of time for rock and blues grooves. This is THE best my drum kit has ever sounded. And The are holding their tunings longer than others ive tried.
I cant swear to how long they will last but they already look 100X's better than all my previous heads looked at this point.I believe they will last awhile just based off how much thicker these are than any other heads I have purchased.
Comments about Remo Fusion ProPack:
they're really strong heads and they sound great.

- Details & Specs
Humminbird® 798ci HD SI Fishfinder / GPS Combo. Side imaging provides crystal - clear underwater pictures!
The 798ci HD SI Combo features an industry best 5" color display, ultra comprehensive sonar with 4,000 watts peak-to-peak power output, 50-channel internal GPS chartplotting with built-in ContourXDTM mapping, a card slot for maps and saving waypoints and - believe it or not - much more. Fishing with this baby almost seems unfair, doesn't it? Ha. Something tells us you won't feel a twinge of guilt.Here, let's take a closer look:
Side Imaging® Sonar treats you to amazingly clear, picture-like images of fish, the bottom and structure. It's the ultimate structure-finding tool, and with its massive coverage (480 feet from side to side!) you can scan in mere minutes what used to take hours.
Down ImagingTM technology. See all the happenings below your boat. Timber, brush, bridge pilings, rocks and any other structure will pop with stunning detail as you patrol the water. How? 1. "Snapshots" are created with high-frequency sound waves emitted in razor thin slices. 2. Sonar returns from these waves create an instant "snapshot" below the boat. 3. Narrow Mode analyzes the returns to verify the position of the echoes to ensure Down Imaging only shows you structure and activity beneath you, and not off to one side or another. Quickly identify structure with Down Imaging, while using 2D to locate and target fish. Together, they take the guesswork out of sonar fishfinding.
DualBeam Plus brings you the best of both worlds, with selectable narrow and wide beams you can view individually, or melded into one display. Use the 20° beam and go for precision, or the 60° beam for greater coverage. Blend them together for the most complete picture.
Humminbird® SwitchFireTM Sonar gives you the power to choose how returns are displayed. With three unique modes, you have complete control to adjust with the fishing conditions. Get incredible detail in Max Mode. Watch as the sonar returns explode from the screen in amazing detail.
You'll see the tiniest subsurface object-even thermoclines and water currents-for complete underwater coverage. And for easy viewing in rough water, there's Clear Mode. Time Variable Gain (TVG) software sifts through sonar returns to display only fish and structure. Great for fishing in shallow and rough water, or reducing undesired clutter in the water column. 3-color Palette Mode provides even more flexibility on the water to deal with overcast or full-sun conditions.
Precision 50-channel GPS allows you to track speed and use chartplotting technology to find old fishing holes where you had success. And even if you're not a sonar "guru", the X-Press menus place the Finder's most important settings at your fingertips for quick adjustments.
Built-in ContourXD maps. With over 3,000 U.S. lake maps in the database, you will be able to find a lake close to any location you might want to wet a line. As an added bonus, ContourXD maps feature depth contour lines, so you can find all the drops, bumps and channels holding fish. The maps also include U.S. lights / markers, and major roads and interstates. Fish like a pro on your home lake, or a lake far from home, thanks to Humminbird ContourXD.Display:

Chick-fil-A supporters pack restaurants on 'Appreciation Day'
by: Diana Davis Updated:
ATLANTA - Customers packed Chick-fil-A restaurants across metro Atlanta to support the business in light of the company president's recent controversial comments.
Former presidential candidate Mike Huckabee declared Wednesday Chick-fil-A Appreciation Day, urging people to eat at the restaurant. For weeks, the restaurant chain has faced backlash after its president, Dan Cathy, publicly announced his opposition to gay marriage.
But supporters came out in full force from Cobb and Gwinnett to Fulton and DeKalb counties. Channel 2 viewers emailed pictures showing lines wrapped around several restaurants in the metro area.
At the Chick-fil-A off Mount Vernon Road, officers directed traffic outside. A lone protestor carried a gay rights flag and another sign that compared the restaurant chain's stance on gay marriage to "Hitler-style hate."
In Decatur, supporters told Channel 2's Diana Davis that Cathy has a right to express his opinion on gay marriage.
"I support Chick-fil-A. I'm a Christian, and I support what they stand for. I also believe in the freedom of speech. If you want to eat there, great. If you don't, then there are plenty of other places you can go," Mark Pritchard told Davis.
Some of the chain's gay customers told Davis they may not like Chick fil-A's opinion but will continue eating there.
"I don't think they personally affected me. I think it was an opinion of theirs, and they should have the right to express their opinion. I'm not going to stop eating at Chick-fil-A because of the owner's ignorance," said Charles Austin.
An Atlanta gay and lesbian magazine disagreed. Tyler Calkins, the publisher of Fenuxe Magazine, said he'll name Chick-fil-A as Atlanta's worst restaurant in a ceremony this weekend.
"It's more of a politically correct way of saying they don't like gay people at all. We shouldn't be taking a moral stance from a chicken sandwich company," said Calkins.
Chik-fil-A issued a written statement saying, "Chick-fil-A Appreciation Day was not created by Chick-fil-A. We appreciate all our customers and are glad to serve them all at any time."
Outside a Cobb County Chick-fil-A, a representative from a conservative Christian group told Davis she supports the biblical definition of marriage and family and Cathy.
"We believe he should be able to express that without other groups coming in and trying to, you know, hurt his business," said Rebecca Davis of the Constitution Party of Georgia.
Opponents of Chick-fil-A's stance are encouraging the gay and lesbian community to come out Friday and stage a public Kiss-in at restaurants nationwide.
Students petition to have Chick-Fil-A removed from college campuses
Local universities are dealing with reaction from students who want Chick-fil-A off campus because of the gay marriage remarks made by the company's president.
Channel 2's Amy Napier Viteri talked with students at Kennesaw State
University, where there are two petitions online.
One petition is demanding the university remove
Chick-fil-A from the student center and another one urging officials to keep the restaurant on campus.
"I think that Chick-fil-A has the right to whatever opinion they want. Nobody should be surprised that they think that. They're closed on Sundays," student Brittnie Card told Viteri.
Card is a junior at Kennesaw State. She doesn't have a problem with statements
Chick-fil-A's president Dan Cathy made opposing gay marriage.
Other students are demanding the school remove the restaurant from the Carmichael Student Center.
Wednesday evening close to 300 students had signed an online petition saying keeping
Chick-fil-A on campus violates the university's mission statement to foster "global and multicultural perspectives."
Around 200 signed an opposing petition in support of the chain.
"I would definitely be for keeping
Chick-fil-A on campus. I agree with Chick-fil-A's position, personally," Card said.
Supporters claim management's personal beliefs haven't led to discrimination against customers.
"I bet there are people who do believe in gay marriage or even are gay, and I bet you they're still eating at
Chick-fil-A," Card said.
Students at Emory University also called for officials to remove the restaurant.
The university sent Channel 2 Action News a statement saying Cathy's statements don't reflect Emory's values but the university also values freedom of expression.
"Emory therefore respects the right of people to express their disagreement with Mr. Cathy by not patronizing Chick-fil-A," the statement said.
Based on their statement, Emory University has no plans to make changes with regard to
Chick-fil-A's campus location.
A representative from Kennesaw State would only say that they are aware of these petitions.
