What affects my credit score?
Many different types of credit data is used in your credit report to determine your credit score. Your FICO scores are calculated based on the five categories below. For some groups, the importance of these categories may vary; for example, people who have not been using credit long will be factored differently than those with a longer credit history. Both negative and positive information is considered in your credit report. Late payments will lower your scores, but establishing or reestablishing a good payment history will raise your score over time.
35%-Payment history
30%-Amounts Owned
15%-Length of Credit History
10%-Credit Mix
10% New Credit

McConnell Proposes:
McConnell Proposed Short Term Debt Ceiling Hike. McConnell said, "The president and the vice president, everybody knows you have to tackle entitlement reform. If we can't do that, then we'll probably end up with a very short-term proposal over, you know, a few months, and we'll be back having the same discussion again in the fall." [Face the Nation, 6/22/11]
Cantor Smacks Down:
Cantor "Pushed Back Hard" On Notion of Short Term Debt Limit Increase. "House Majority Leader Eric Cantor pushed back hard Tuesday against Senate Republican suggestions of a scaled-back, short-term debt deal, saying it's 'crunch time' in White House budget talks and 'if we can't make the tough decisions now, why … would [we] be making those tough decisions later. I don't see how multiple votes on a debt ceiling increase can help get us to where we want to go,' the Virginia Republican told reporters. 'It is my preference that we do this thing one time. … Putting off tough decisions is not what people want in this town.'" [Politico, 6/22/11]
McConnell Proposes:
Senator McConnell Opposed Eliminating Tax Breaks In Debt Limit Deal.
SCHIEFFER: "Well, let me just ask you this. As part of a deal to raise the debt ceiling, would you be willing and open to eliminating some tax breaks if Democrats will go along with some spending cuts?"
MCCONNELL: "Well, we're really interested in corporate tax reform, for that matter, tax reform across the board. It's very hard, Bob, to deal with a big subject like tax reform within a month. We need to do it. But it's hard to squeeze that into this time limit we have in connection with the deficit. So we need to concentrate on cutting spending." [Face the Nation, 6/19/11]
Cantor Smacks Down:
Majority Leader Cantor Said "We Are Not Opposed To Revenues." "And while Republicans have stuck with the talking point that the government doesn't have a revenue problem; it has a spending problem, GOP leaders have left the door open to finding more money in the tax code. 'We are not opposed to revenues. We are just opposed to tax increases,' Majority Leader Eric Cantor (R-Va.) told reporters." [Politico, 6/21/11]

Washington DC (SPX) Jan 04, 2013
Amid growing concern over the surprisingly large amount of greenhouse gas produced by the Internet and other telecommunications activities, researchers are reporting new models of emissions and energy consumption that could help reduce their carbon footprint. Their report appears in ACS' journal Environmental Science and Technology.
Researchers from the Centre for Energy-Efficient Telecommunications (CEET) and Bell Labs explain that the information communications and technology (ICT) industry, which delivers Internet, video, voice and other cloud services, produces more than 830 million tons of carbon dioxide (CO2), the main greenhouse gas, annually.
That's about 2 percent of global CO2 emissions - the same proportion as the aviation industry produces. Projections suggest that ICT sector's share is expected to double by 2020.
The team notes that controlling those emissions requires more accurate but still feasible models, which take into account the data traffic, energy use and CO2 production in networks and other elements of the ICT industry.
Existing assessment models are inaccurate, so they set out to develop new approaches that better account for variations in equipment and other factors in the ICT industry.
They describe development and testing of two new models that better estimate the energy consumption and CO2 emissions of Internet and telecommunications services.
They tested the models on a simulated network and on a deployed network that serves the majority of schools in California. Both models delivered better estimates than the current "top-down" models.
The researchers suggest, based on their models, that more efficient power usage of facilities, more efficient use of energy-efficient equipment and renewable energy sources are three keys to reducing ICT emissions of CO2.

text: NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- Small-cap growth funds have been on a tear this year, returning 16.0% and outpacing the S&P 500 by 7 percentage points, according to Morningstar. More good news could be on the way. Small stocks typically outdo large ones during the three years following a recession. That happened in recoveries that began in 1982, 1991 and 2001. Small-cap stocks excel in rebounds because as the economy recovers, investors often gain confidence and place bets on second-tier businesses, which are considered relatively risky. But make no mistake, small stocks can be volatile. During the downturn of 2008, the average small-cap growth fund lost 41.6%, trailing the S&P 500 by 4 percentage points. These days there is a special need to proceed with caution because small-cap stocks no longer look cheap. Small-cap growth funds have an average price-to-earnings ratio of 20, a full valuation at a time when large-cap growth funds have a P/E of 17.5. To bet on a continuing recovery, consider some of the steadiest small-cap growth funds. These top funds excelled during the downturn, and they offer a cautious way to participate in a sector that can take investors on rough rides. A low-risk choice is FBR Small Cap ( FBRYX). During 2008, the fund proved relatively resilient, outdoing 99% of competitors and topping the category average by 14 percentage points. Portfolio manager Robert Barringer controls risk by emphasizing companies with little or no debt and fat profit margins. He prefers companies that can grow steadily year after year. As a result, the portfolio tends to be overweight cash-rich technology and service businesses and light on cyclical energy and industrial companies. "We avoid cyclical companies with heavy debt," says Barringer. "That has helped us in downturns." Barringer steers away from highfliers. Instead, he prefers solid companies that have fallen out of favor. Top holdings include teen fashion retailers American Eagle Outfitters ( AEO) and Aeropostale ( ARO). Both companies have sizable cash stakes and no debt, but the stocks have been under a cloud since the recession began. "Everyone is afraid that the slow economy will hurt consumer sales, but these companies will keep growing," says Barringer.

A Georgia city is challenging the state's new sunshine laws in response to an open meetings lawsuit state Attorney General Sam Olens filed against its mayor.

It's Jewelry … For Your Boots!
Boots are expensive, so why not get the most out of every pair you own and switch up your look instantly with shoe jewelry! Wha? New York City jewelry designers Erica Chan and Tamar Wider have created a collection of footwear accessories called The 2 Bandits. The newest addition to the rather expansive collection is "Riders," a line of adjustable leather and chain harnesses worn at the base of any boot—flat boot, bootie, shoetie, heeled boot, etc. And 2 Bandits isn't just limited to chains; they also have beaded and fabric adornments for boots, including the Native American-inspired "Cherokee," the boho-inspired "Edie," the "Moondance," the "Santa Fe"— the list goes on and on. So, yeah, my plain black riding boots can have a second (and third, and fourth) life. Eh, ya gotta kind of love that. [Cool Hunting]

Henry Blofeld was in his prime as a cricket commentator during one of England's most protracted slumps. Once, as a rampant West Indies side ground England into the dust at home, he memorably observed: "Every England run is being greeted with a cheer befitting the relief of Mafeking."
A sentimental Sydney crowd yesterday responded with the same enthusiasm to every routine push and deflection of
Day four crowds tend to be learned and passionate, especially when the prospect of a very termination of proceedings appears inevitable. So even a modest defensive prod at the final ball of a Nathan Lyon over from Nuwan Pradeep earned cheer from the purists sufficiently rousing to amuse "Blowers" had he been present.
They knew that every Sri Lankan run enhanced the prospects of setting up an epic run chase and maybe set the scene for a fairytale departure from Test cricket for the admirable Hussey.
Imaginations briefly conjured with Australia eking out a narrow victory delivered by Hussey stroking the winning run. Every moment of defiance, each pilfered run by the final Sri Lankan pair dangled such an enticing prospect in front of the crowd.
As Dinesh Chandimal and Pradeep highlighted the profligacy of the supposed specialists in the Sri Lankan batting order, most notably Thilan Samaraweera, the crowd dared to dream of a finish to rival that against India in 2008 or South Africa in 2009.
Yet the cricket gods rarely fulfil such wishes, even when the timing of the departure – as was Hussey's – is as exquisite as a Michael Clarke cover drive. Remember Don Bradman? While Hussey was unconquered at the end of his final Test match it fell to Mitchell Johnson to hit the winning run. Ironically, that somehow seemed appropriate. Contrivance and artifice never had a place in Hussey's character or game. They were as foreign to him as "walking" to Ian Chappell. He came in his appointed place in the order and batted precisely as the state of the match rather than that of his career warranted.
Indeed, the shadows never even lengthened for him depriving the wordsmiths of a valuable metaphor. Johnson dispatched the ball to end the match with the SCG bathed in brilliant sunlight under an unblemished cobalt sky. Natural perfection provided the setting for an imperfect finale.
For Sri Lanka this was a Test that got away. Their fecklessness in slumping from 1/132 to set a mere 141 for Australia to win was unforgivable. Yet after the capitulation in Melbourne last week and injuries to pivotal players, particularly Kumar Sangakkara, it was a vast improvement. It was an absorbing contest that could have risen to even greater heights had the tourists displayed even a modicum of restraint in the final session on Saturday afternoon.
Even so, the surging emotional undercurrent of the match will entrench it in memory. The poignant sight of
The annual commemoration of the life and death of Jane McGrath generates bittersweet sentiment. For his part, Hussey was universally loved. He embodied the spirit that Australians idealise in their champions.
And so today as the Christmas trees come down and the majority return to work, the summer of Test cricket draws to a premature close.
Thank goodness for the Australian Open Tennis and even the short forms of cricket – until next year.

Our kamper kitchen is open to anyone, but is especially useful for our kabin and tent guests. It has 3 sinks with hot and cold water and 3 electric cook tops. It is a nice place to sit and watch your children play in the playground or get together with friends to eat. If your group wishes to reserve the pavilion, just let the staff know a day or more in advance. You may reserve the kamper kitchen for a maximum of 1 1/2 hours. This allows our kabin and tent guests timely access to cooking facilities. The wind curtain makes the kitchen much more user friendly and we have upgraded the lighting system.

"The Cosmos is all that is, or was, or ever will be..."
Over the course of his lifetime, Carl Sagan was many things. As a scientist trained in both astronomy and biology, Sagan was a longtime consultant for NASA. He briefed the Apollo astronauts before their flights to the Moon, and worked diligently on the Mariner, Viking, Voyager and Galileo missions to the planets of our solar system. He was a teacher, a researcher and a best-selling author.
But, in my mind, Sagan's greatest achievement was his life-long effort to take difficult scientific concepts and make them accessible to the public at large. Sagan lifted the veil of mystery and danger that seems to surround science in the minds of so many these days. It's one of the great failings of modern scientific endeavor, that even while making discoveries of the greatest relevance, many of today's scientists haven't the foggiest idea how to convey the importance of their work to the rest of us. Carl Sagan not only brought the rest of us along on his many travels through the Universe, he was kind enough to loan us his own sense of wonder to view it with.
Nowhere was that sense of wonder more apparent, than in his 1980, Emmy and Peabody award-winning television series,
(which he hosted, and which was accompanied by a book of the same name that went on to become the best-selling science book ever published in the English language). Over the course of its 13, hour-long episodes,
took us on a unparalleled journey from the tenuous strands of our own DNA to the farthest reaches of the known Universe, from the very beginning of time to the present day and beyond. And now, thanks in large measure to his wife and collaborator on the series, Ann Druyan, Carl Sagan's record of that journey has become accessible to a whole new generation of viewers on DVD. Presented on 7 discs, the

is a treasure. It contains the entire 13 episode series as follows...
Disc One
I. The Shores of the Cosmic Ocean
- Series host Dr. Carl Sagan takes viewers to the edge of the Universe aboard a "spaceship of the imagination". Through the magic of special effects, we witness quasars, exploding galaxies, star clusters, supernovas and pulsars. And, back on Earth, we visit a recreation of the ancient Library of Alexandria, seat of learning on Earth 2,000 years ago.
Disc Two
II. One Voice in the Cosmic Fugue
- Sagan uses a "cosmic calendar" to make the 15 billion year history of the Universe understandable, and frames the origin of the Earth and the evolution of life. We see the steps from the first microbes to modern humans and learn how the development of life on Earth has important implications for the possibility of life elsewhere in the Universe.
III. The Harmony of the Worlds
- A historical recreation of the life of Johannes Kepler, the first modern astronomer, provides insights into humanity's understanding of the Moon and planets.
Disc Three
IV. Heaven and Hell
- We descend into the hellish atmosphere of Venus to learn about the dangers of pollution and runaway greenhouse effects. And we travel through the solar system to understand the effects of cosmic catastrophes.
V. Blues for a Red Planet
- Sagan examines the possibility of life on Mars, takes us to its very surface and looks at humanity's historical perspective of the Red Planet in both science and science fiction.
Disc Four
VI. Traveller's Tales
- The 17th Century sailing expeditions of the great Dutch explorers are compared with the Voyager spacecraft's modern journey to Jupiter and Saturn.
VII. The Backbone of Night
- Sagan takes us back into history to examine how the ancient Greeks struggled to understand the nature of stars in the Milky Way. And he looks back at his own childhood in Brooklyn, to a time he was asking himself the same questions.
Disc Five
VIII. Travels in Time and Space
- We examine the changes in the patterns of constellations over millions of years, journey to the planets of other stars and consider the possibility of time travel through the eyes of a young Albert Einstein.
IX. The Lives of the Stars
- Using computer graphics and stunning photographs, Sagan examines the way stars are born, live and eventually die as supernovas or black holes. He then takes us 5 billion years into the future, to witness the last perfect day on Earth.
Disc Six
X. The Edge of Forever
- A series of fantastic trips helps us to understand the birth of the Universe, the development of galaxies and the very edges of space.
XI. The Persistence of Memory
- Sagan takes us into the human brain to examine the question of intelligence and the nature of thought. And we examine another of Earth's intelligent creatures - the whales.
Disc Seven
XII. Encyclopedia Galactica
- Sagan asks the question, "Are we alone?" He takes us to the farthest reaches of space to visit the worlds of hypothetical alien civilizations and examines our modern Search for ExtraTerrestrial Intelligence.
XIII. Who Speaks for Earth?
- In the final episode of the series, Sagan retraces the Universe's 15 billion year struggle to awareness through the development of intelligent life. He then discusses the danger we pose to ourselves through nuclear war and other folly, and argues that our responsibility for survival is owed not just to ourselves, but to the very Cosmos from which we spring.
Intrigued yet? It's amazing to me how well the series has aged. The science contained in these episodes is, by and large, still valid today. Only occasionally has something that's being related onscreen been made obsolete by new discoveries. And thankfully, this series has been updated very cleverly in these situations. A special "science update" subtitle track is available as an option on these DVDs. If you turn it on, text will occasionally appear onscreen telling you that a new discovery or theory has arisen, and explain what it means for the information you're seeing and hearing in the episode. For example, when this series was produced, it hadn't yet been conclusively determined what ended the reign of the dinosaurs. In one of the episodes, Sagan refers to the possibility of a comet colliding with the Earth. If you have the update track on, you'll see text that explains that recent discoveries have yielded fairly conclusive evidence that a large asteroid was the culprit. In addition to the "science update" subtitle track, a few of the episodes also have video updates as well. These appear at the end of the episodes in question, and were shot prior to Sagan's death. They feature Sagan (or Druyan), who explains in more detail the latest discoveries and information relevant to the episode. Finally, from time to time, original video footage contained in the episode has been replaced with more compelling visuals - shots of stars and nebula have been updated using images taken by the Hubble Space Telescope, for example. The spirit of the original moment in the episode is always retained.
In terms of video, these episodes vary somewhat in quality. The new footage is obviously first-rate, but you have to remember that the series was originally produced using a documentary style combination of film, analog video and other sources. Despite that, however, the video has been digitally remastered and enhanced. It looks quite good overall. It's a little edgy at times, the analog video looks a little soft and you'll see some moderate grain from film sources. But color and contrast are generally fine. This is never going to serve as video reference material - it's not meant to. In any case, while the video quality averages from awesome to adequate, the average is very good.
The audio has also been remastered and remixed, and is available here in English Dolby Digital 5.1. Again, it isn't going to blow anyone away, but the series' score (including both contemporary and classical pieces of music) is worth hearing in 5.1 sound. To that end, a separate 5.1 track is also available which features just the music and sound effects - a nice touch. And so that
on DVD can be appreciated by audiences the world over, the discs have been encoded for Region 0 (playable in all regions), and include subtitles in French, Italian, German, Spanish, Mandarin, Japanese and English for the hearing impaired. Again, a nice touch.
There aren't really any extras other than what we've already mentioned (the video and subtitle update options and the 5.1 music and effects track). But all of that is enough for me, given the nature of this material. The extras you do get definitely enhance your appreciation of the series and the subject matter.
Since our humble beginnings in the dawn of prehistory, humanity has always looked over the next hill, across the widest ocean and up to the farthest star... in wonder. Let's hope we never stop doing so.
on DVD is a fitting tribute to a man who dedicated his whole life to that ideal. Highly recommended.

Previous Story
Next Story
By William Weber
December 2001
The Massachusetts Bar Association recently submitted comments to the U.S. Department of Justice criticizing changes allowing the Bureau of Prisons to monitor communication between attorneys and inmates or detainees with suspected terrorist ties.Click here to view comments or click below for more of this story.
The DOJ submitted changes to its rules on Oct. 31 to aid law enforcement investigations of terrorist activities following the Sept. 11 attacks. The changes were made effective on Oct. 30, with written comments due by Dec. 31.
"The immediate implementation of this interim rule without public comment is necessary to ensure that the department is able to respond to current intelligence and law enforcement concerns relating to threats to the national security, or risks of terrorism, or violent crimes that may arise through the ability of particular inmates to communicate with other persons," said a Department of Justice statement.
At a special meeting on Nov. 26, the House of Delegates voted on the comments prepared by the MBA Presidential Task Force on the Preservation of Rights, Liberties and Access to Justice. The task force will review all legislation, executive orders and administrative regulations issued or passed in connection with the Sept. 11 tragedy to determine whether rights, liberties or access to justice are impacted.
The DOJ change relates to mail, visits and telephone calls between attorneys and their clients, and implements the use of privilege and taint teams to monitor all such communications.
"Apparently, the department is not concerned about any chilling of constitutional rights," the task force wrote.
House of Delegates members criticized the changes saying the ability of a client to communicate confidentially with his attorney is indispensable to that individual's right to counsel. The MBA believes the DOJ acted illegally in including such a change in these regulations and compounded its error by implementing these changes on an emergency basis.
"It is inappropriate to implement extensive and fundamental changes to existing regulations on an emergency basis, especially when they impact constitutional rights," the task force comments state. "Neither the DOJ, nor any other federal agency, has authority to take away fundamental rights. These regulations curtail, and in most instances eliminate, an inmate's or detainees' Sixth Amendment right to counsel."
MBA task force called the DOJ's proposed regulation abhorrent, saying it must be repealed immediately.
"It is totally inappropriate for an administrative regulation to obliterate the right of an inmate or a detainee to have an attorney. Because the privilege team is given the right to monitor all communications between an inmate and his attorney, the inmate's fundamental right to have an attorney has been taken away," the task force wrote. "Once notified by the DOJ that conversations will be monitored, no attorney can talk to his client. Consequently, the regulations do not merely limit the attorney-client privilege, but rather they deny an accused of his right to counsel.
"While the DOJ recognizes the existence of the attorney-client privilege and an inmate's right to counsel, it imposed these regulations to ferret out communications it alleges do not fall within the scope of the privilege. The regulations fail to recognize, however, the ethical obligations imposed upon an attorney not to engage in criminal conduct or criminal conspiracy. Given the obligations already in place, the concerns of the DOJ in promulgating this regulation are unfounded."

Whole Foods to Buy Wild Oats for $565 Million
AUSTIN, Texas - In a surprise move, Whole Foods Market here is fighting back against the mainstream grocery chains, supercenters, and specialty operators that have moved in on its natural turf by moving to acquire its leading super-natural direct competitor, Boulder, Colo.-based Wild Oats Markets
AUSTIN, Texas - In a surprise move, Whole Foods Market here is fighting back against the mainstream grocery chains, supercenters, and specialty operators that have moved in on its natural turf by moving to acquire its leading super-natural direct competitor, Boulder, Colo.-based Wild Oats Markets.
Whole Foods said yesterday it agreed to buy Wild Oats in a cash tender offer of $18.50 per share, or approximately $565 million.
Whole Foods will also assume Wild Oats' existing net debt totaling approximately $106 million, bringing the transaction enterprise value to about $700 million. The transaction is expected to close in April, the two companies said.
"We're competing in a highly competitive market," Whole Foods' chairman, c.e.o., and co-founder John Mackey said yesterday during a conference call after the merger announcement. "Safeway, Kroger, Supervalu, and Wal-Mart are massive companies bigger than Whole Foods that are selling some of the same products." Mackey also cited Trader Joe's as a "formidable competitor" that often flies under the radar but has grown its store count to 270 in recent years.
Mackey characterized the merger as a defensive counterstrike. "This deal is in the best interest of Wild Oats' shareholders and Whole Foods' shareholders," he said. "We need each other."
The deal, if approved by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, would bring Whole Foods' total store count to around 300 units. It would allow it to enter several new markets and gain critical mass in three regions where its presence is currently the smallest: the Rocky Mountains, the Pacific Northwest, and Florida.
All of Whole Foods Market's 11 operating regions would gain stores in the transaction.
Whole Foods is hoping for synergies through G&A cost reductions, greater purchasing power, increased utilization of support facilities, and new team member talent.
It said it plans to evaluate each of Wild Oats' four banners, as well as each store, to see how they fit into the Whole Foods overall brand and real estate strategy. The retailer said it expects to have to close some stores, and to make significant investments in remodeling before eventually re-branding the Wild Oats stores as Whole Foods Markets.
"We think we can help Wild Oats improve even more and get their comps in the double digits," Mackey said.
On the merchandising front, he said he sees the company's greatest opportunities in improving Wild Oats' perishables selection, including produce, meat and seafood, bakery, and prepared foods.
Conventional supermarket operators that compete with Whole Foods and Wild Oats told Progressive Grocer the acquisition would likely spur a new level of competitive pressure in many geographic areas, as well as in the battle to capture growing sales in natural and organic food.
"[Whole Foods] is a lot tougher competition than Wild Oats," Rudy Dory, owner of Newport Avenue Markets, Bend, Ore. told Progressive Grocer. "They're better in fresh and in merchandising. It will definitely force us to do our jobs that much better."
Paul Howland, buyer-merchandiser for Chandler, Ariz.-based Bashas' Natural Choice departments, meanwhile, lamented the loss of an industry pioneer.
"For us old natural foods guys, it's kind of sad in a way," Howland said. "Wild Oats was a pioneer in many respects, but clearly their performance had been suffering recently."
Howland predicted that, its major eminent expansion notwithstanding, Whole Foods will not have much room to increase its buying power in such a margin-squeezed industry. However, he noted that the retailer is in a solid position with regard to distribution, thanks to its seven-year primary distribution agreement with United Natural Foods, Inc.
Meanwhile, smaller to mid-size organic and natural foods retailers could actually benefit from the deal, Howland said, if consumers who oppose big business begin to see Whole Foods as the industry's new bully.
Whole Foods is certainly no stranger to acquisitions; the retailer has made 18 retail buys in its history. Still, the Wild Oats acquisition will be Whole Foods' biggest.
Mackey said it generally takes Whole Foods up to two years to absorb an acquisition, including integrating the acquired operation into its decentralized structure and implementing its incentive programs.
"We expect this acquisition to be similar, and that over time we will recognize significant synergies," he said.
During yesterday's conference call, Mackey admitted that Whole Foods had sniffed around a Wild Oats deal at least once before. "The last time we looked into making a deal was six and a half years ago," he said.
This time, however, the stars seemed to align, as Wild Oats found itself searching for a new c.e.o. "I thought it would a good time to contact them, figuring that they may not have a strategic focus about where they wanted to go."
The transaction will be funded with $700 million of senior term loans, Whole Foods said. In conjunction with the transaction, Whole Foods also intends to upsize its long-term senior revolving credit facility to $250 million.
Wild Oats Markets' board of directors unanimously recommended that Wild Oats Markets' stockholders tender their shares in the offer. The Yucaipa Companies, Wild Oats Markets' largest shareholder with approximately 18 percent ownership, has committed to tendering its shares. Approval of the transaction by Whole Foods Market shareholders is not required.
The tender offer will expire within 30 days, subject to extension and to the receipt of customary regulatory approvals. Whole Foods currently expects to close the transaction in April.
Wild Oats, with annual sales of approximately $1.2 billion, was founded in Boulder, Colo. in 1987. The company currently operates 110 stores in 24 states and British Columbia, Canada under four banners: Wild Oats Marketplace (nationwide), Henry's Farmers Market (Southern California), Sun Harvest (Texas), and Capers Community Market (British Columbia).
Founded here in 1980, Whole Foods had sales of $5.6 billion in fiscal year 2006, and currently operates 191 stores in the United States, Canada, and the United Kingdom.

Ship Weight:1.20 Servings:31 Dosage:1 Tablespoon(s) NOW Foods Liquid Lecithin Natural Phosholipid - 16 oz. NOW supplies many forms of Lecithin including NOW Foods Liquid Lecithin Natural Phosholipid, softgels, granules and derivatives (Phosphatidyl Serine). Now Foods Liquid Lecithin Natural Phosholipid is High in Phosphatidyl Choline & Other Phosphatides Now Foods Liquid Lecithin Natural Phosholipid is Unbleached.Lecithin: A Forgotten Giant?In today's high-tech rapidly changing nutrition marketplace we are constantly inundated by new products, irresistible fads, and nutrients that are impossible to pronounce. A nutrient we tried yesterday has already been forgotten today so as to make room for the promise of something new tomorrow. Hopefully we can resist the temptation to forget some of the nutritional giants that have served as foundations to our health and even our industry. Lecithin is just one such nutritional powerhouse.Lecithin is composed of a group of phosphorus containing fats or phospholipids the most important being phosphatidylcholine, phosphatidylinositol, and phosphatidylethanolamine. Lecithin can be found in a variety of foods including egg yolks, milk, meats, fish, and legumes. Since our intake of some of these foods has been reduced due to cholesterol and fat concerns we have concomitantly reduced our intake of this important nutrient. Every living cell contains these phospholipids and the functioning of our nervous system is particularly compromised if we are inadequate in lecithin's key ingredients. Deficiencies are linked to a variety of neurological disorders. Phosphatidylcholine builds nerve cells and substances they communicate with and has been studied for memory. As a lipotropic choline is critical in fat and cholesterol metabolism particularly via the liver. The heart muscle has one of the highest concentrations of any muscle. For these reasons one often sees lecithin included in weightloss, cardiovascular, and liver support formulas.NOW recognizes the importance of lecithin and carries one of the largest selections of lecithin products on the market today. Commercially lecithin is derived from soybeans. Concerns over Genetically Modified Organisms such as found in most soy beans has prompted NOW to introduce a non-GMO lecithin, one of the first of its kind. NOW has a strict specification on heavy metal and microbial content. The extraction process also necessitates careful monitoring of solvent residues, rancidity via peroxide values, moisture content and other impurities, and phospholipid content. NOW's granular lecithin is 97 - 98% phospholipids compared to the 95% seen in other brands and with a taste that many people prefer over others. This is often a tell tale sign for purity. Rest assured that NOW will continue to work to meet or exceed NOW's already high standards.Lecithin and PhosphatidesLecithin is the most common natural phospholipid that is found in many animal tissues and organs as an important constituent of biological membranes. It is also widespread in the plant world and abundant in legumes, cereals and seed embryos. Vegetable lecithin is the main constituent of commercially available sources, in which the majority of lecithin is derived from soybeans. Lecithin's biological and physiological properties make it useful in the pharmaceutical, food and cosmetics fields. Moreover, it widely used for a dietary supplement to aid in memory and cognitive function, cardiovascular health and liver function. Lecithin from soybean sources is a complex mixture of phosphatides that contains mainly of Phosphatidylcholine (PC), Phosphatidyethanilamine (PE) and Phosphatidylinositol (PI) with minor amount of Phosphatidic acid (PA), Phosphatidylserine (PS), and corresponding lysophosphatidyl derivatives (LPC, LPE, LPI, and LPS). Neutral lipids, free fatty acids, carbohydrates and other components are also present in soy lecithin. High-purity PC and PE, the fraction products of phospholipids other phosphatides, PC is one of important active ingredients, which acts as a vehicle for essential fatty acids to promote metabolism through the cell membrane. Research has shown that Phosphatidylcholine is beneficial in depression, memory loss and neurological disorders. The composition of lecithin is largely dependent on lecithin source and degree of purification. Owing to the difficulty of obtaining lecithin PC and PE of sufficient purity, it is important to develop rapid and effective analytical methods for the purpose of quality control and to discover any commercial frauds. HPLC technique has been widely used to develop selective and specific assays, which are required by current pharmaceutical regulations. HPLC analysis of lipids is a comparatively less developed field of application of this technique. American Oil Chemistry Organization (AOCS) established an HPLC method to determine PC, PE and PI in Lecithin by HPLC, which is validated and mostly performed for analysis lecithin. This HPLC method allows separation between different classes of lipids and between individual compounds within a certain class.NOW Foods carries variety of lecithin products, including Lecithin powder, granule and softgel. To ensure the quality of these products, we have developed HPLC method based on official AOCS method to validate analytical procedure for testing PC, PE and PI. This analytical method is accurate, efficient and simultaneous to determine typical levels of various phosphatidylcholine compounds to ensure the quality of our lecithin products.NOW's MissionThe NOW mission is - To provide value in products and services that empower people to lead healthier lives. NOW Foods is an award-winning and highly respected manufacturer of vitamins, minerals, dietary supplements and natural foods.In 1948, with the natural food and supplement industry in its infancy, entrepreneur Paul Richard paid $900 for the purchase of Fearn Soya Foods—a Chicago based manufacturer of grain and legume-based products. This began a six-decade legacy of providing health-seeking consumers with high-quality, affordable nutrition products. History of NOWIn 1968, NOW Foods was founded under the belief that good health was not a luxury available only to the wealthy. For the past forty years, NOW has made it their life's work to offer health food and nutritional supplements of the highest quality, at prices that are fair and affordable to all those who seek them. Today, NOW Foods is one of the top-selling brands in health foods stores, an award-winning manufacturer, a respected advocate of the natural product industry, and a leader in the fields of nutritional science and methods development. And while NOW has grown considerably over the past four decades, one thing has never changed – NOW's commitment to providing products and services that empower people to lead healthier lives.NOW Commitments Customer Focused and Information Driven - NOW believes that their products, services, and the decisions they make should be primarily influenced by the desires and needs of NOW customers. The decisions that NOW makes should be based on accurate information and therefore NOW places a high value on knowledge and learning within their organization.

After the wild and crazy day of Mardi Gras yesterday this seemed "subtle" in comparison : )
I can't even remember when and where I found this cloth but clearly the red is what drew me to it! The fact that it has milkweed and butterflies on it just makes it fabulous.
This is the time of year the Monarch butterflies that winter on the coast here in California wake up and start their annual migration. It's been so warm that people have flocked to Santa Cruz to see the parade : ) This is where we'll start our day before heading out.
Scarlet Fiesta bookend the stack o' dishes, with a black salad plate and small gold-rimmed china plate in between.
And just to make sure we've got fresh coffee for the coffee drinkers I pulled out my little red-handled french press : ) If you want coffee done the way the purists do it, use a french press. Howard Schultz, CEO of Starbucks, keeps a french press at his desk, preferring the darker roasts like Sumatra.
Vintage napkins from Nadine, vintage bakelite silverware and two different vintage glasses give us all we need for a great start to the day.
It is also Ash Wednesday, and while my odd Lutheran/Jewish upbringing doesn't really celebrate this day in any traditional sense I also discovered that today is National No Smoking day in Ireland, land of pubs and the ever-present cigarette. This was started in the spirit of giving something up for Lent and I think its a FABULOUS idea!
I can tell you with absolute knowledge that smoking causes a nasty form of cancer that can grow quickly and the pain is barely controllable. The side effects of treatment are almost as bad as the disease itself. If you know anyone who smokes encourage them to QUIT, NOW.
If they need a reason let them chew on this – in the average lung tumor of a pack-a-day smoker (who has smoked for 25 years) there are approximately 50,000 genetic mutations. That averages out to every three cigarettes smoked causes a genetic mutation and your body can only handle so many before you get a "cell on a mission".
In the spirit of Ash Wednesday, and Lent, encourage smokers to give it up : )
Tomorrow – Cheryl's birthday!
119 days to go!!

Bryant homers twice, plates six runs
Cubs' No. 2 prospect continues to raise bar on his own expectations
By Ashley Marshall / MiLB.com | May 7, 2014 11:14 PM ET
Expectations might have been unreasonably high on Kris Bryant entering the season.
The 2013 first-round pick showed flashes of brilliance in his first few months in pro ball and held his own in the Arizona Fall League against some of baseball's best young pitching prospects.
The hype didn't die down once Opening Day rolled around and Bryant homered in each of the first two games of the season. Following Wednesday's performance, expect the superlatives to begin again.
The Cubs' No. 2 prospect went 3-for-4 with a pair of homers, a double, a career-high six RBIs and four runs scored in Double-A Tennessee's 12-1 rout of Birmingham.
Considering what he's already achieved at the age of 22, he may have been only partly joking when he ranked his performance "top 10, probably."
"I get asked about [the expectations] a lot," said Bryant, the second overall pick last June. "The only expectations that matter are the ones you put on yourself. My expectations for myself are higher than any from my friends or fans or family. I've put the bar pretty high, so I don't worry about what people have to say about me, good or bad.
"I've been fortunate to have a pretty good baseball career so far and to have some good games, and this will be right up there."
Bryant hit a three-run homer off Birmingham starter Myles Jaye in the first inning and added a solo shot on an 0-2 slider off Jaye in the fifth.
"There was a guy on first base and less than two outs, so I'm just trying to get the ball in the air," Bryant said of his first homer on a 2-1 fastball. "The ball travels well to right field in our park and when I hit it I knew I got the job done.
"Just hitting the mistake pitch. We have guys like [left fielder] John Andreoli and [second baseman] Stephen Bruno who can steal some bases, so they threw me more fastballs and I took advantage of that."
After walking in the seventh, the Las Vegas native ripped a two-run double off the left-field wall in the eighth.
"I asked my hitting coach [Desi Wilson] where it went and he said it hit the fence," Bryant said. "It would have been cool to have a three-home run game, but I don't want to throw away at-bats, so I went up there with the mentality of being down by one run with runners on second and third."
Bryant, who said he had a three-homer game as a 9-year-old and another last year at the University of San Diego, hit nine roundtrippers in 36 games across three levels last season, posting a .336/.390/.688 slash line.
He appeared in 20 Fall League games with the Mesa Solar Sox, batting .364 in the prospect-laden finishing school, where he smacked six homers and drove in 17 runs. Among those outings was a two-homer, four-RBI contest against Surprise on Oct. 18, although that doesn't count among his Minor League statistics.
It might be easy to look down the road and speculate about his future in the Windy City, but Bryant is taking things slowly and concentrating on his performance on the field.
"I don't really like to look ahead," said MLB.com's No. 8 overall prospect. "I try to stay in the moment and focus on how I can get better every day. My dad told me that the numbers will take care of themselves if I go out there every day and focus on getting better.
"I've been playing a pretty good third base and making some pretty good plays, but I want to be more consistent. I can get better everywhere -- maybe make better contact and cut down on the strikeouts a little bit. It's my first full season and I'm learning a lot along the way."
Wednesday's performance lifted Bryant's batting average 16 points to .313. He leads the Southern League with eight homers, 17 extra-base hits, a .600 slugging percentage, 69 total bases and 26 runs scored. And he's fourth with 36 hits and a .428 on-base percentage.

The Crying Game: 4 Men Have A Cry-Off
Dudes seem to find a way to compete about everything: money, cars, who has the biggest beer belly. So it's no surprise that Brett Hoff of magazine Wholphin dreamed up a Crying Competition where the rules state that the first tear to hit the table wins. "This might be the least fun I've ever had on the beach," says one participant. It turns out, these guys suck at crying — and are easily shown up by the film's female producer when it comes to shedding tears. [Laughing Squid]

Think outside the box
- Subtitle: Editor's Desk
So the big question, or problem even, is what to do if you're not one of those who's managed to get an articling position through the traditional on-campus-interview process. There are two sides to the coin here: the first is that law students need to get creative and second, that small law firms and even sole practitioners need to get on board. Canadian Lawyer 4Students has put together an articling how-to that gives some great tips for both sides to get rolling.
During a recent chat with a law school career counsellor, it was heartening to hear that not only is the school promoting its students to create their own internships, but many students are doing it with gusto. Internships are a bit easier to put together than articling terms, which require more formal structures, but there's still a lot of flexibility that can come into play. Part of it is for law students to get out there and make contact with lawyers in areas — of the law or geographic location — in which you want to practise. Taking chances can really pay off. And making the approach to lawyers in smaller communities or law firms may be the awakening they need to take on an aspiring lawyer.
For decades, it has been the bigger law firms that have trained the majority of Canadian lawyers, but that model is no longer sustainable. It is expensive for the large law firms that cannot be expected to be the sole training ground for the profession. Law students today are involved in a wide variety of pursuits and are often highly accomplished. There's no reason not to put that same drive and creativity into getting an articling position, that (almost) final hurdle to get into the esteemed legal fraternity. You won't know if you don't try.

Mark-Paul Gosselaar Weds
Mark-Paul Gosselaar needs no saving from this belle: the erstwhile Saved By The Bell star wed advertising exec Catriona McGinn on Saturday, reports People.
The two finally tied the knot at the Sunstone winery in Santa Ynez, California, almost a year after the 38-year-old Franklin & Bash star proposed to McGinn with a 5 carat cushion-cut diamond ring, custom designed by his friend, jeweler Neil Lane (who designed the wedding bands as well).
The newlyweds will be heading to Italy for their honeymoon, where Gosselaar says they plan to "eat our a**es off."
Gosselaar was previously married to actress Lisa Ann Russell, with whom he has two children — Michael, 8, and Ava, 6.

Pre-filing for the 82nd Texas Legislature is in full swing, with over 370 bills already filed since the Nov. 8 kick-off. Let the craziness officially begin.
One of the most controversial bills that will receive consideration when the session kicks off at noon January 11, 2011, will govern cell phone usage in a moving vehicle. Already four members of the Texas House and two members of the Texas Senate have jumped in with proposals to penalize drivers using wireless devices while behind the wheel.
This is one bill we should expect action on.
Already, several Texas cities and municipalities have some kind of ban on using wireless devices while driving. San Antonio's ban on texting and driving went into effect Oct. 15 of this year. The ordinance allows drivers to make calls on a cell phone, but no texting or using a web browser or email. Missouri city has a similar ban. Galveston has banned text messaging while driving within its city limits. El Paso has gone even further, prohibiting texting and talking on a cell phone while driving within its city limits.
The state has already taken its first steps down this road. Already on the books are laws that prohibit holders of learners permits from using handheld cell phones in the first six months of driving and a ban on drivers under the age of 17 with restricted licenses from using wireless communications devices.
The problem for legislators will be convincing the public that such laws are needed in Texas. We live in a freedom-loving state, and with many people having hour-long or longer commutes from work to home, cell phones have become essential - both in personal lives and in the business community. Any ban on cell phone usage is not going to be popular with the masses.
And you can bet the wireless communication lobby will be working overtime to stop any bills. Communication is the key industry of today and tomorrow. The industry will not stay on the sideline on this vote.
The argument for such bans, however, is just as strong. The National Safety Council estimates that cell phone uses increases the risk of a vehicle crash fourfold andd that more than 1 million wrecks a year nationwide can be attributed to that distraction.
The most sensible outcome would be a ban on texting while driving and perhaps a law that enforces hands-free communication while driving. But when the Texas Legislature meets, all bets are off.

Last night soap-opera star turned reality mom extraordinaire Tori Spelling had a nude photo leak onto the internet. The culprit? Her own husband!
Dean McDermott posted a picture of his 4-year-old son horsing around at home late last night on his Twitter page, seemingly unaware that his wife's bare boobs were visible in the background of the pic. (Tori just gave birth to her third child in October, so she was probably whipping out her milk jugs for, well, milking.)
After Twitter exploded with comments on this very personal peek into their private lives, Dean took down the photo- but not before it was spread around the 'net. This is actually our first look at the skingy actress's suckle stalks, and they are MAM-nificent!
What we don't get is how he didn't notice the boobs in the first place. If Skin Central had taken that photo, they would have been front and center.
Put a face to the funbags with sexy pics of Tori Spelling right here at MrSkin.com!

I am having trouble getting pagination to work with get_categories and after hours of google searches, I have found no good documentation on this issue. Here is the codehttp://pastebin.com/gD6j8xmz
it is set up so that you can make posts to child categories and assign them to a parent category. I was able to set the parent categories posts to only show 3. That is working fine, now I need a way to get to the 4 or or more post. I tried as you can see to set 'paged' => $paged in the get_categories array but the pagination still don't show. I also tried a few plugins and the kriesi method which does work very nice on regular posts. I just can't figure out the code to get pagination working in this issue
Any help on this issue would be greatly appreciated.
