Happy Opening Day. Allow me to blast ya with some trivia, news and notes: This is Franicisco Liriano's second Opening Day assignment. He started Twins opener in 2009 and dropped 6-1 decision v Mariners & King Felix … This is just the third time the Pirates have begun the season in March. The won the previous two, both on March 31 — 10-1 at Cincy in 2003 and 12-11 in Atlanta in 2008 (12 innings) … Jinx alert! Mark Melancon beings this season with the longest streak of innings pitched without allowing a homer (63.0 IP) among all major league pitchers. … Jinx alert II! Reliever Tony Watson ended last season with a run of 21 scoreless outings. His streak of 20.1 innings without a run allowed is the third-longest in the majors behind Kevin Siegrist (25.0) and Hisashi Iwakuma (23.0). … This is second year in a row the Pirates and Cubs have clashed on Opening Day. The Cubbies were the opponent in the Pirates' first game in the National League on April 30, 1887 at Recreation Park. I don't think it cost $100 back then for a ticket, beer and parking, Then again, how much could it cost to park a horse and buggy?

- Installation
Tile must be installed over a suitable substrate to insure a proper installation. Glass tile should be installed over a clean, sound, and flat surface, free of contaminates including curing compounds. Substrate should be free of cracks. If used in a wet area you must waterproof. See manufacturer's recommendation on a membrane for crack and water protection that is compatible with the setting material you are using. Glass is reflective therefore any inconsistencies in the substrate will result in a poor installation. For pools and fountains we recommend installing a mortar bed according to TCA P601-98. EXPANSION AND CONTROL JOINTS PER TCA EJ171-05 Expansion joints should be installed at all "changes in plane" in the tile work and where tile abuts restraining surfaces, therefore silicone caulking sealant must be installed in all corner joints in place of grout.INSTALLATION
- To avoid affecting the color of glass tile, White modified thin-set such as Bostik Glass Mate is highly is recommended for all installations.
- Apply thin-set using a trowel as recommended by the manufacturer.
- Apply as much adhesive as can be covered within 10-15 minutes.
- Grout joint should be a minimum of 1/16" and not butt set.
- The trowel size you can use is a 9" Trowel - 1/16" square notch.
- Grout joints should be packed full and free of voids and pits.
- Clean excess grout as the work progresses before it has hardens completely.
- Acids should never be used for cleaning grout haze.
- Use a damp sponge for the final cleaning and to smooth out the grout joints.
- It is recommended to use non-sanded grout.
- Highly recommended to purchase the Glass Installation/Maintenance Kit - http://www.TileBar.com/collection/tiling-supplies/glass-tile-maintenance-package.html
The recommended cutting method is to use a wet saw with a diamond blade that is specifically for cutting glass. Edges can be sanded smooth after cutting.

A type of carotenoid related to lutein and beta-carotene, astaxanthin is a bright red pigment naturally produced by marine algae. Its sole purpose is to protect the algae from the free radicals generated by ultra-violet light. Research has shown that when ingested, astaxanthin turns its protective powers to the human body, where it prevents free radicals from attacking internal organs and tissues. Delivering 4 mg of pure, 100% natural astaxanthin per softgel, NutraOrigin's Astaxanthin is free of major allergens such as wheat, gluten, corn, yeast, soy, and dairy - and contains no artificial colors, sweeteners, or preservatives. Key benefits of Nutra Origin Astaxanthin: Support balanced blood sugar levels Reduce muscle fatigue Accelerate exercise-induced fat loss Support visual acuity Enhance immune response Support healthy arteries Help maintain cholesterol and blood pressure levels already within a healthy range How Nutra Origin Astaxanthin works:Developed based on a thorough review of the scientific evidence, NutraOrigin's Astaxanthinincludes 4 mg of pure, 100% natural astaxanthin, with no artificial colors, flavors, or preservatives. The description below will give you a better understanding of how Astaxanthin delivers a broad array of health benefits. Blood SugarMaintaining balanced blood sugar (glucose) levels is important for nourishing the health of the cells, which use glucose to fuel all of their activity. When blood sugar is too low, energy decreases. When blood sugar is too high, oxidative stress (caused by free radicals) increases. Astaxanthin has been shown to support balanced blood sugar levels in animal models. One study showed that when astaxanthin was administered to mice, it preserved their ability to secrete insulin - the hormone that shuttles glucose from the blood into the cells. Another study in mice found that astaxanthin reduced free radical-induced oxidative stress on the kidneys and preserved the functioning of kidney cells. Muscle Fatigue and Fat LossCan a natural substance reduce muscle fatigue and accelerate fat loss? It sounds too good to be true, but animal and human research points in that direction. A placebo-controlled human study, published in 2002, found that 6 mg of astaxanthin supplementation per day reduced the concentration of lactic acid - the stuff that causes muscle fatigue - in the muscles of adult males who had just run 1,200 meters. Then, in 2008, an animal study yielded these exciting results: Mice that had been supplemented with astaxanthin burned more fat exercising on the treadmill than mice that simply exercised alone. The researchers speculated that astaxanthin prompted the body to burn fat rather than glucose during exercise, which led to improved endurance and increased fat loss. If these results hold true for humans as well, astaxanthin could be an important tool in supporting natural weight loss. Visual AcuityThe same researchers who tested astaxanthin's effect on muscle fatigue in humans also researched whether the antioxidant could affect visual acuity. Healthy adult males were divided into two groups: half were given astaxanthin supplements (6 mg per day) and half were administered placebos. Astaxanthin supported two parameters of visual acuity compared to control: deep vision and critical flicker vision. his finding complements earlier test tube research on astaxanthin and vision, which found that astaxanthin protected the lens of the eye from oxidative stress caused by free radicals. Immune ResponseA randomized, double-blind placebo-controlled human study published in 2010 tested the effects of astaxanthin on the immune system of healthy young women. The subjects received 0 mg, 2 mg, or 8 mg of astaxanthin daily for 8 weeks. By the end of the study period, those receiving astaxanthin supplements showed a strengthened immune response compared to those taking placebo pills - even at the low level of 2 mg per day. This study confirmed earlier laboratory and animal research, which showed that astaxanthin had significant immune-modulating actions. Cardiovascular HealthResearch in humans and animals has shown there are a variety of ways that astaxanthin impacts cardiovascular health. First, as a powerful antioxidant, astaxanthin protects LDL ("bad") cholesterol from oxidation, which could help maintain the health of the arteries. Second, astaxanthin helps maintain cholesterol levels that are already within a healthy range. And third, astaxanthin may help people with normal blood pressure levels keep them that way, as animal research shows it modulates blood fluidity, supports vascular tone, promotes arterial health, and induces vaso-relaxation, which allows more blood to flow through the vessels. About Nutra Origin: NutraOrigin's focus is on the development of comprehensive, state-of-the-art formulas to address nutritionally the major health concerns of Americans. their oriented toward performance, and they offer unique products, manufactured proudly in the United States, to their customers not as quick fixes but as a part of nutritional regimens that can be incorporated easily into their busy schedules. You know those days. The ones when you wake up and your head is clear, your energy is high, and your body does not ache. You feel great. Nothing can stop you. For most of us, those days are occasional. At Nutra Origin, their goal is to make them usual. Many chronic health conditions are preventable. They result from years of poor eating habits, lack of exercise, or prolonged exposure to stress. Some have become so common that they do not even remember what good health feels like. Now leading health organizations now tell us that by returning to a healthier lifestyle - by getting the right nutrients, becoming active, and learning to manage the stressors in life - many of these conditions can be prevented, managed, or even reversed. Why can't theyr address all health problems and bodily challenges medically? The question has become a central topic in many leading publications. But the answer is fairly obvious: Western medicine is organized around acute illness, not long-term health. "The US health care system is still largely designed to treat patients with acute medical problems.... 'At no point in medical school are physicians exposed to patients with chronic illness, except for acute episodes leading to hospitalization,' says Michael Lockshin, MD, a Harvard Medical School graduate and head of the women and rheumatic disease center at New York City Hospital for Special Surgery. "The result: Many patients shuffle from doctor to doctor in search of relief from many complications of their chronic illnesses. On average, people with one chronic condition see three different physicians and fill seven prescriptions a year, according to Partnership for Solutions, a research group at Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore. People with five or more chronic conditions make 12 physician visits and fill 50 prescriptions a year.... "Chronic diseases are now the leading cause of disability and death in the United States, with seven in 10 deaths each year attributed to such illnesses as cancer, heart diseases, diabetes and stroke. About 133 million Americans - nearly one in two adults - live with at least one chronic disease, and more than one in 10 have three or more.... "'The present medical model has ignored many of the issues - pain, fatigue, anger - that interfere with people's lives,' says Nancy Whitelaw, Ph.D, NCOA senior vice president. 'Until their care system focuses on improved health for people with chronic conditions, they will never get a handle on skyrocketing costs. '"Why NutraOrigin, you ask? NutraOrigin was launched with the single-minded goal of developing comprehensive, state-of-the-art formulas to address nutritionally the major health concerns of Americans. They are oriented toward performance and backed by serious research and development. Their new products arise from genuine advances in technology. They only manufacture supplements that provide verifiable results for the consumer. They are committed to the highest standards of ethics and integrity. Each of their products guarantees: Purity and potency, Integrity of formulation, and Adherence to label claims. One priority is never to take professional or ethical shortcuts, so the formulations are developed without cost restrictions. That freedom ensures the highest level of effectiveness. These products provide: Highly concentrated dosages, Multiple active compounds, A full spectrum of nutritional benefits, and Synergy of components to optimize absorption.

Nerd fight coming in 2016
'Sup, nerds. In about a year and a half, we finally get to learn who people love more: Superman or Captain America. That's because Marvel Studios has decided to release Captain America 3 on the SAME DAY as Superman/Batman. The reason? "Screw you!." That was pretty much the reasoning. There really is no reason other than they wanted to dick with DC. So who ya got? Superman? Or Cap?

Local Military Mother Surprises Daughter Before Thanksgiving
6-year-old Kyliegh Palmer sat in surprise as her mother walked into the room six months after being deployed to Afghanistan. Her mother, Staff Sgt. Patricia Ryan of the U.S. Air Force, surprised Kyliegh at her school's Thanksgiving feast on Tuesday.
While Ryan was deployed, Kyliegh has been living with her grandparents in Crescent City. Ryan said the distance from her daughter has been very difficult.
"You learn to cope with it. It still hurts, but you learn how to cope with it," said Ryan.
Kyliegh's grandmother, Kathleen Daignault, said she has had to stay strong for her granddaughter.
"Every night she says 'I miss her Grandma,' and I say 'I know you do, but we only have this many days," said Daignault.
Daignault has been planning the homecoming over the past month. "I'll tell you it's the most difficult thing keeping a secret from a six year old," said Daignault.
Ryan is currently stationed in Colorado and will go back after Thanksgiving. Kyliegh will spend the remainder of the school semester in Crescent City with her grandparents before moving with her mother to Colorado in December.
Ryan said the best thing of all is that she will not be deployed again.
"I'm overwhelmed with happiness and joy, because I have her back now and I'm excited," said Ryan.

SF Acheives 69% Recycling

SF Acheives 69% Recycling
(April 25, 2007)
San Francisco Acheives 69 percent Recycling Rate, Moves Closer to Goal of 75 Precent Recycling by 2010
$2.1 Million solar array also added to Recycle Central at Pier 96
330,000 kilowatt hours of solar power now used annually to sort bottles, cans and paper
SAN FRANCISCO, CA-Recycling is simply part of life in San Francisco, with new statistics showing that the city kept 69 percent of all waste-stream materials from going to the landfill, up from 67 percent the year before. The most significant gains were in the areas of commercial recycling, and the collection of compostable food scraps and yard trimmings.
"San Francisco shows other big cities how recycling is done," said Mayor Gavin Newsom. "But we can't rest on our laurels. Our goal is to recycle 75 percent by 2010, and to accomplish that we still need residents and businesses to take full advantage of composting and recycling programs."
The figures, compiled by the City's Environment Department (SF Environment) and approved by the California Integrated Waste Management Board, show that San Francisco generated 1,978,748 tons of waste material in 2005. Of this, 664,033 tons went to landfill, while 1,367,013 tons were diverted through recycling, composting, reuse, source reduction and other efforts. The state credits San Francisco with diverting over 52,000 tons of material into biomass energy generators, but does not count this towards generation.
SF Environment recently conducted a study to determine what San Franciscans are still throwing into their black, curbside trash bins, as a means of targeting public outreach efforts to improve recycling. The study found that over two-thirds of the landfill-bound material was recyclable, with nearly 40 percent consisting of mixed compostables, 15 percent recyclable paper, and 15 percent other mixed recyclables.
"If we were to capture all of the compostables that are currently going to the landfill, we'd have a 78 percent recycling rate," said SF Environment Director Jared Blumenfeld. "The recently adopted ordinance requiring supermarkets and drugstores to distribute compostable bags will help us drive these numbers up, since residents can put messy food waste into the bag, tie it off, and drop it neatly into the green cart."
S.F. Recycling & Disposal, Inc - a Norcal Waste company - sorts bottles, cans and paper at Recycle Central on Pier 96. Earlier this year, the roof at Recycle Central was fitted with 21,000 square feet of new solar panels.
The $2.1 million project, installed by the San Francisco Public Utilities Commission's Power Enterprise, generates about 330,000 kilowatt hours of power annually. That energy helps power mechanical conveyers, sorting and baling equipment, making Recycle Central the first recycling sorting facility in the nation to run on its own clean solar power.
"The new Recycle Central solar system is another example of how San Francisco is a leader in clean energy," said Barbara Hale, SFPUC Assistant General Manager for Power. "The SFPUC is working steadily to grow clean, renewable energy resources to meet more of our municipal electrical needs."
"The solar array on the roof of Recycle Central provides up to 30 percent of the facility's energy needs. That reduces carbon emissions by offsetting the demand for energy from power plants and should inspire all of us to recycle even more of our waste. With everyone's help, the city can achieve its goal of 75 percent diversion by 2010," said Mike Sangiacomo, President and CEO of Norcal Waste Systems, Inc., parent to the garbage and recycling companies serving San Francisco.
A dynamic city like San Francisco requires the efficient use of clean, renewable energy to meet the needs of today and future generations. Our innovative policies and programs help San Franciscans use energy wisely, while saving money and reducing environmental impacts.
SF Environment aims to reduce travel-created carbon by getting people out of cars and instead traveling by walking, biking or public transit. We also are greening the City fleet of vehicles and encourage the public to reduce their impact by supporting cleaner fuels and vehicles.
Zero Waste
Imagine a world in which nothing goes to landfills or to incinerators. We think it is achievable, and SF Environment is doing everything we can to make it happen.
Toxics & Health
As the first city to adopt the Precautionary Principle, San Francisco strives to protect the health of its residents, visitors and the local environment. SF Environment develops programs and policies to help individuals and businesses make safer choices in products, practices and services.
Buildings & Environments
San Francisco is habitat for 800,000 people – meeting needs for space to work, play, and learn; for food, water, and air; for community with local flora and fauna. SF Environment provides support for urban agriculture and forestry and green buildings, helping residents and businesses harness environmental opportunities.
Education & Equity
SF Environment focuses on building community capacity - engaging people throughout the City's neighborhoods and providing them with the tools, education, and job opportunities to ensure that the places where we live, play, learn, and work are safe and healthy.
Climate Change
Reducing carbon emissions is central to ensuring a sustainable future for San Francisco. Climate change will bring unstable weather, rising sea levels and damage to our city's natural habitat and infrastructure. SF Environment is committed to mobilizing the City to deal with Climate Change.

Corporate Advocacy Program™
Provided are pictures of the final walk thru with Kenora Construction. I have at least 50.
Kenora Construction was very confrontational in final walk thru and refused to take responsibility for work that was not done or that was not done properly. Paul and Debra (the home owners) created a final punch list (12 pages) and provided it to Kenora, this by the way is the job of Kenora Construction.
The painters did come back and did some touch up, but Kenora refused to fix anything properly and terminated the contract with Paul and Debra before all work was completed and demanded final payment. Paul and Debra held the final 10% (approx $3000.00 +) to help recoup some of the cost to complete and repair the work that was not done or wasn't done properly. Replacing the tile alone is $8000.00. Due to Kenora construction terminating and refusing to fix the issues in the home,Paul and Debra had to complete all the work not completed.
Paul never signed the bid proposal/contract, contract was not filed with the lien at the court house and Kenora added additional fees to the mechanics lien. Included are pictures, punch list, correspondence and a list of what was not complete, damages and charges for services not provided. Charging for what was not done= Theft, stealing, false charges, maliciousness, thievery.
• Paul never signed bid proposal
• Mechanic Lien was recorded and no contract was filed with Lien and Kenora added additional fees to the lien. According to an attorney lien was filed incorrectly.
• Kenora terminated contract and refused to fix or finish job.
• Left construction material with additional trash from another construction job, Paul and Debra had to pay to remove trash from driveway.
• Paint overspray on new tile in kitchen, entry, fireplace, half bath and master bathroom, could not be removed. Paul and Debra had a company come in to try and remove overspray and they were unsuccessful. Paul had earlier painted the entire inside of house, no overspray, drips, messes, nothing on rugs or tile. I actually used plastic, and taped off edges, corners, etc. I did a better job.
• Carpet was installed by carpet company and Kenora refused to be at the home to let them in and charged Paul and Debra for carpet removal and overseeing the installation. Paul and Debra met the carpet installers and the carpet installers removed the carpet.
• Door casing not all replaced, not properly sealed and painted (paint peeling) used existing hardware on some the doors and charged Paul and Debra for it. Debra and Paul had to sand and repaint all the jams, baseboards and doors.
• Broken tiles in the Master Bathroom never replaced and chip in tub. This was new, undamaged tile.
• Paint on driveway had to be pressured washed off by Paul and Debra .
• Some of the walls, closets, door jams were not painted and popcorn ceiling in master closet, laundry room and downstair's closets was not removed. But we were charged for it.
• Paint over spray on blinds and refrigerator.
• Did not replace all baseboards that Kenora was paid to replace and did not wipe down baseboards before painting and painted over dust and drywall mud.
• Front door and attic door not installed properly to code and had to be reinstalled by Paul and Debra. They were not shimmed, insulated or properly hung.
• Kitchen faucet not properly installed and broken. Paul and Debra had to replace.
• Toilets were not properly installed.
• Toilets, sinks and some of the baseboards were not caulked
• New kitchen cabinets were scratched, gouged and trim not properly installed.
• Kenora charged Paul and Debra for final clean up and final clean up was never done.
• Kenora charged 10% fee for materials that homeowner paid for and picked up. (kitchen cabinets, bathroom cabinets, toilets, marble for master bathroom. and new fixtures for master bathroom).
• Counter tops in kitchen not properly shimmed, had to cut shims in order to get stove in. Plus a very hard adhesive extruded from countertop seams (at least 1") prevented stove from being installed.
In a nutshell, Jeff Ehrich of Kenora Construction is a man of dishonesty, Lies, fails to take responsibility for poor workmanship, has acted arrogant, beligerent, and combative to Paul, Debra (home owners) and Ron Wine (brother in law) who knows business and construction. He lives in a delusional world where only he is right. He also got in my wife's face trying to intimidate her, how funny, he didn't do that to my brother in law Ron or I. A true sign of cowardice.
During an email when I gave him a chance to remove the false mechanics lien and make it water under the bridge, he called me a cyber terrorist (isn't that a felony?), good thing I have a sense of humor.
Kenora Construction's work was also not to code as stated by a professional contractor (Randy) that has done a lot work for us in the past, install tile throughout house, granite countertops, build an approximate 25'X 25' curved porch, and numerous other projects. While there were very few mistakes made, he did take responsiblilty, was polite, and fixed it !
Each and every time Randy did any work, we were thrilled due to his quality. Jeff Ehrich, owner of Kenora Construction is a prime example of how not to do business.
Jeff Ehrich and another female from Small World Reality, came to film what was going on, they asked and I said "Yes". Hey, if they want to film their own pissporr workmanship, go right ahead. They in fact represented themselves as being from Small World Reality.
Now Jeff Ehrich continually acted beligerent during filming, I even had to tell him to grow up, and despite the facts, still lives in a delusional world that he is right. And even after he made an a*s out of himself on film, hmmm, somehow it was lost from the phone, how convienient.
To give you an idea, Jeff Ehrich of Kenora Construction wanted approx. $3000.00 +. When I sue him, here is what is going to cost him;
$8000.00 new tile
$10,000.00 filing a false mechanics lien (that's automatic by state law)
$3000.00 for repairs he did not do, or fixing his screw ups.
Loss of business
His boss at Small World Reality now has legal issues with him due to he and a female representing themselves as Small World Reality on film. And he still has him working there as a contractor...really. Is this who you want to do business with?
My wife & I would have loved to have had the work done properly, not be falsely charged, had to have gone through with Jeff Ehrich's drama or his mess, given him his money and say nice things about his company...but that is not possible.
Note: we have all photos, reciepts, paperwork to prove all this.

Fox Asks: Why Did Rice "Not Say ... We Are Doing An Investigation"?
Mara Liasson: "Susan Rice Was So Definitive" In Her Statements On Benghazi Attack. On Fox News' Special Report, contributor and NPR national political correspondent Mara Liasson claimed that Ambassador Susan Rice "was so definitive" about what had happened in Benghazi:
LIASSON: I think the most, kind of mystifying part of this is that Susan Rice was so definitive, and was so kind of out over the tips of her skis as they say, on the Sunday talk shows. Why not say then we are doing an investigation to find out what happened, instead of saying definitively this was a spontaneous protest that in some cases got hijacked? I mean that's caused more trouble for them than the attack itself I believe. [Fox News, Special Report with Bret Baier, 10/10/12]
Fox's Krauthammer: Everything Susan Rice Said "Was A Confection," An "Invention." On the October 10 edition of Fox News' Special Report, Fox contributor Charles Krauthammer claimed everything Rice had said in relation to the Libya attack "wasa confection" and an "invention."
KRAUTHAMMER: So everything that Susan Rice said was a confection, it was an invention. And as you showed, it was repeated again and again. You had Hillary Clinton speakingaboutthe video as the body of the ambassador was lying next to her. Then you had Susan Rice spinning the tails. You had the president of the United States addressing the General Assembly more than two weeks later talking about the video, the insult to Islam, et cetera. You have this entire story going all along.
They're trying to sell the video, they're trying to sell extremism and they're trying to sell all of this at thetime when they know it isn't true. So that's number one. Andthat's a scandal and I think it has to do with the fact that they were spiking the football over the death of bin Laden and al-Qaeda a week earlier in Charlotte and this was acontradiction of it. [Fox News, Special Report with Breit Baier, 10/10/12, via Fox Nation]
In Fact, Rice Repeatedly Stressed Ongoing Investigation
ABC's THIS WEEK
Rice: "There's An FBI Investigation That Has Begun ... That Will Tell Us With Certainty What Transpired." On the September 16 edition of ABC's This Week, Rice told guest host Jake Tapper that an FBI investigation was under way and relayed the administration's "current best assessment" based on information available at the time:
RICE: Well, Jake, first of all, it's important to know that there's an FBI investigation that has begun and will take some time to be completed. That will tell us with certainty what transpired.
But our current best assessment, based on the information that we have at present, is that, in fact, what this began as, it was a spontaneous -- not a premeditated -- response to what had transpired in Cairo. In Cairo, as you know, a few hours earlier, there was a violent protest that was undertaken in reaction to this very offensive video that was disseminated.
We believe that folks in Benghazi, a small number of people came to the embassy to -- or to the consulate, rather, to replicate the sort of challenge that was posed in Cairo. And then as that unfolded, it seems to have been hijacked, let us say, by some individual clusters of extremists who came with heavier weapons, weapons that as you know in -- in the wake of the revolution in Libya are -- are quite common and accessible. And it then evolved from there.
We'll wait to see exactly what the investigation finally confirms, but that's the best information we have at present. [ABC News, This Week with George Stephanopoulos, 9/16/12]...
...Rice's Statements Were In Line With State Department's Consistent Message
Under Secretary Patrick Kennedy: "Any Administration Official" Would Have Said What Ambassador Rice Said. The Atlantic Wire reported that Under Secretary of State for Management Patrick Kennedy defended Rice's September 16 comments, saying that "any administration official, including any career official" would "have said what Ambassador Rice said":
If any administration official, including any career official, were on television on Sunday, September 16th, they would have said what Ambassador Rice said. The information she had at that point from the intelligence community is the same that I had at that point. As time went on, additional information became available. Clearly, we know more today than we did on the Sunday after the attack. But as the process moves forward and more information becomes available, we will be sure to continue consulting with you. [The Atlantic Wire, 10/10/12]
State Dept. Spokesperson Victoria Nuland: Rice "Made Clear ... That There Is An Ongoing FBI Investigation." Commenting on Ambassador Rice's comments at a State Department press briefing, spokesperson Victoria Nuland noted that Rice was "very clear" about "what our initial assessment of what happened is" and that Rice "also made clear, as I had on Friday, that there is an ongoing FBI investigation." [State Department, 9/17/12]
Nuland: FBI And Libyan Government "Are Going To Have A Full Investigation" Into Whether Libya Attack Was Terror Act. Nuland explained in a separate interview that the FBI and Libyan government have launched an investigation to determine whether the consulate attack was terrorism:
Four Americans, including the US Ambassador to Libya, were killed during the attack on its Consulate in Benghazi.
Washington so far has said that the protest was a result of an anti-Islam video made in the US, while some US lawmakers have said that the attack has the hallmark of that of al-Qaeda.
"I don't think we know enough. We are going to continue to assess. She (Susan Rice, US Ambassador to the UN) gave our preliminary assessment. We are going to have a full investigation now, and then we will be in a better position to put labels on things," said State Department spokesperson Victoria Nuland yesterday.
She said the FBI and the Libyan government, besides carrying out independent investigations, are also mutually "cooperating" over the case.
"The investigation is obviously going to lead us to the appropriate conclusions about precisely what happened and how it happened," Nuland said, pointing out that the US was "working well" with Libya in probing the attack. [Deccan Herald, 9/18/12]
AP: "The Obama Administration ... Is Investigating Whether The Assault On The U.S. Consulate In Libya Was A Planned Terrorist Strike." The Associated Press reported on September 13 that the FBI is investigating whether the attack was a terrorist attack or not:
The Obama administration, roiled by the first killing of a U.S. ambassador in more than 30 years, is investigating whether the assault on the U.S. Consulate in Libya was a planned terrorist strike to mark the anniversary of the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks and not a spontaneous mob enraged over an anti-Islam YouTube video.

A Jerusalem magistrate's court remanded three boys suspected of hurling a fire bomb at a Palestinian taxi by 96 additional hours, only a day after the presiding judge criticized the police, saying they lack substantial evidence against the suspects.
The court's decision on Monday came after the police introduced hard evidence linking the boys to the incident. The police said they possess forensic evidence, however its nature was not revealed.

Mary Jane Will Be In 'Amazing Spider-Man 2,' Is Probably That Chick From That Show
Casting has already started for The Amazing Spider-Man 2 which was immediately greenlit thanks to the first one still making a ton of money despite being an unnecessary sequel that you can literally feel the studio going, "Okay, now make him swing on a bunch of cranes. People love cranes." That said, one of its highlights was sticking more closely to the comics with the Gwen Stacy storyline and presumably having that end with Peter Parker consoling himself in ginger pussy just as Stan Lee envisioned. "Dr. Firecrotch-Man!" I believe he originally wanted to call the whole thing. Variety reports:
It looks like Mary Jane Watson is back in Peter Parker's life, as "The Descendants" star Shailene Woodley is in early talks to play the redheaded love interest in Sony's "The Amazing Spider-Man 2."
Woodley is the studio's leading choice to join stars Andrew Garfield and Emma Stone in the Marc Webb-directed sequel, which is preparing to start casting. Character breakdowns have gone out to talent agencies, and Electro is rumored to be one of the villains the filmmakers are considering for the next installment of the hit comicbook franchise.
Of course, the casting of Shailene Woodley could get derailed if Ricky knocks her up again and that baby dies just like Ben and Adrian's did because his dad married Stiffler's mom even though she was a hooker and God fucking hates that. I'm sorry, what just happened there? I blacked out for a second.

Iron Deficiency:
Female Weight Loss Surgery Patients at Risk
by Kaye Bailey
Female gastric bypass patients are at risk of iron deficiency because iron found in meat, poultry and fish is normally absorbed by the duodenum and small intestines. The nature of the bypassed system prevents adequate iron from foods from being absorbed. In addition, patients cannot physically eat enough food to meet the Daily Reference Intake (DRI).
Malabsorptive Procedures
If a person is short on iron they suffer a loss of energy, low-level fatigue – the blahs! To avoid iron deficiency and the resulting loss of energy weight loss surgery patients must take an iron supplement daily. Brain activity, breathing, cellular respiration and every activity of the body depend on iron in the blood. Rosy cheeks and a glowing complexion indicate iron needs are met. Energy levels are up and an overall sense of wellness pervades.
Iron supplements: ferrous fumarate, ferrous gluconate or ferrous sulfate are recommended for all weight loss surgery patients. The body more readily absorbs iron when it is taken with vitamin C or a glass of orange juice. Your bariatric center may recommend a specific iron supplement for you. I take Puritan's Pride® Easy Iron; a capsule that contains 28 milligrams of iron glycinate, a gentle form of iron that is highly absorbable and well tolerated. It also contains Vitamin C, Folic Acid and Vitamin B-12 to further aid iron absorption by the body. It should be taken by itself between meals with water. Iron can interfere with zinc and calcium so it is recommended other supplements should be taken at a different time during the day.
Iron is a key element in the body's energy-producing system. As you lose weight and become more active you will thrive with bounding energy. Be sure to maintain it by supplying your body with the iron it needs. In your annual blood test your serum ferritin level will measure your iron level and the nutritionist at your bariatric center will make the appropriate recommendations for supplementation.
Liquid BariCeutical Vitamins for Optimal Health
It should be noted that iron RDI's are different for men and pre-menopausal women. Men over 19 years old should intake 8 milligrams of iron a day, preferably from food sources; women aged 19 to 51 should intake 18 milligrams, supplementation is suggested. After menopause women need intake only 8 milligrams to meet iron needs.
