A new study from the University of Maine found obesity among children and teenagers could raise the state's medical cost to up to $1.2 billion by 2030.
The study, conducted by UMaine's economics professor Todd Gabe, Â reviewed statistics from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and data of about 2,000 school-age children from 18 schools across Maine. Today, less than 8 percent of Maine's youth are obese, but if these children and teenagers continue to add weight into adulthood, the proportion is likely to increase to more than 25 percent.
"We've all heard about the nationwide obesity epidemic, and these figures bring the problem — especially the challenge facing our children as they become adults — closer to home," Gabe told the Bangor Daily News.
Gabe's estimates is based on the medical costs of obesity, including inpatient and outpatient treatment and prescription drugs. He said it doesn't include indirect costs, such as lost productivity at work when those children become adults.
To curb future medical costs from obesity, Gabe suggested slashing the percentage of Maine children who are currently obese by 34 percent, a move that could save Maine $100 million over 20 years.
The study was funded in part through a partnership among the Maine Association for Health, Physical Education, Recreation and Dance; the Maine Department of Education; and UMaine's College of Education and Human Development.

Update at 12:24 p.m. ET: Delany tells USA TODAY's Steve Wieberg the Big Ten "not anywhere near" the point of identifying and approaching prospective new schools.
The Chicago Tribune has backed off its report that said the Big Ten conference would accelerate its discussion of expanding. The newspaper says commissioner Jim Delany informed colleagues at the Bowl Championship Series meetings in Arizona that the Big Ten will stick to the plan it announced in December, and take a 12-to-18-month look at the issue.
But Delany apparently is not forthcoming with details.
"I tried (to put) him in a headlock, but he's a tough guy," Big 12 commissioner Dan Beebe joked to the Tribune. Beebe also said there was no formal discussion of the Big Ten's future but that, "Informally, there has been plenty."
Delany said through a spokesman that he would address the news media today.
And Missouri Gov. Jay Nixon said he hopes Missouri is a candidate to get plucked from the Big 12 and go to the Big Ten. In a statement that likely won't be received well by the other Big 12 schools, the governor said:
"When you compare Oklahoma State to Northwestern, when you compare Texas Tech to Wisconsin, I mean, you begin looking at educational possibilities that are worth looking at."

Kojiro Hyuga is a major character in the Captain Tsubasa series. He is one of the best players of the Japanese soccer team.
Hyuga's ProfileEdit
To help his family, Kojiro Hyuga wants to be a professional player, an ace striker. His devotion to football and his persistence to shoot the goal is outstanding. He was both Tsubasa's and Wakabayashi's top rival. A great guy, Hyuga is not only strong, he is also tough but at the same time caring. Can be a bit impulsive at times, though. He was once famous because of his roughness and many players were scared of him. But, Hyuga is actually a kind boy who cares about his family and friends.
With the death of his father, Hyuga became eager to help his family raise money, in order for him and his siblings to go to middle and high school. So he temporarily left his team to do some part-time work, but also to prove them that they needed him and that his vision of soccer was the right one. When his team was qualified for the national soccer tournament, he hoped that a school would provide him a soccer scholarship. Facing Tsubasa and Nankatsu SC, Hyuga's team won the game, but he was shocked by his personal losses to Tsubasa. Still, scouts from the Toho Academy approached him and proposed him a soccer scholarship in their school, but only if he won the championship. Later, Hyuga intentionally had Meiwa draw against Hanawa in order to lower the chance of Nankatsu qualifying from the group stage, however Nankatsu still made it to the quarter-finals by defeating Hanawa. The day before the quarter-finals, an incident occurred in the canteen between Matsuyama and Hyuga, creating a rivalry between the two. Meiwa and Furano, Matsuyama's team, eventually met each other in the semi-finals. Neither were on top form for the whole match, with Hyuga having a fever and Matsuyama being injured. When the score was at 2-2, with Matsuyama and Hyuga both scoring, Furano was awarded a penalty kick. Wakashimazu came in at this moment and stopped Matsuyama's penalty kick. Hyuga then scored the victorious goal, and Meiwa won 3-2. This match helped Hyuga learn the importance of teamwork. In the final match against Nankatsu, he tried to score outside of the penalty area against Wakabayashi, in order to impress the Toho scouts. He soon realized that it was a mistake, however Nankatsu still managed to draw and win during extra time. After the match, Hyuga felt the joy of playing soccer again.
Toho Academy still decided to take Hyuga. Therefore, Hyuga joined the Toho. However they lost twice in a row to Nankatsu and Tsubasa in middle school. In the 3rd year, after playing against Musashi and Misugi who made his comeback in the finals of the Tokyo prefecture championship, his former coach Kira made him understand that he had became a tiger without fangs. So, Hyuga left Toho to train individually. Becoming a true tiger again, he came back to the team, but because of his selfish behavior, Toho's coach Kitazume didn't allow him to play in the tournament. Frustrated by this decision and because everyone was worrying about him, Hyuga eventually put his pride away, pledging his coach to let him play the final match. After seeing Hyuga's Tiger Shot, coach Kitazume agreed. Tsubasa and Hyuga put up a good fight. The match ended up being a tie, 4-4, and the two team shared the victory.
Hyuga was chosen to be a member of the All Japan Jr. Youth which would participated in the International Jr. Youth Tournament in France. After losing to Hamburg and failing to score against Wakabayashi, Hyuga trained very hard with the black ball he received from coach Kira, in order to create a new shot, stronger than the Tiger Shot. He called it the Neo Tiger Shot and in the match with Italy, he scored against the perfect keeper, Gino Hernandez, with this shot. After winning the tournament, Tsubasa left for Brazil, and Hyuga promised him that he would stand at the top of Japanese soccer.
In the World Youth series, Hyuga was one of the 7 players to be excluded from the Japanese National team after they lost 3 group matches with Real Japan 7 (R.J.7), because Hyuga was lacking post play. Determined to get back into the team, Hyuga went to Okinawa to train his post play, and also to develope a new shot. At first he couldn't find the answer for the new shot, but thanks to Maki Akamine and her winning pitch, the Riser ball, Hyuga was able to complete his new shot, the Raiju Shoot. He also developed a romantic relationship with Maki.
In Road to 2002, Hyuga went to Italy and joined Juventus FC, in the Serie A. At first Hyuga had some problems because after Hyuga's physics test, the result was Hyuga was an unbalanced player because his right muscles is too strong. Hyuga trained really hard with the help of Juventus' physical coach Mazzantini to correct his body balance. After that he was transferred to FC Reggiana, in the Serie C. He helped Reggiana win the championship and promote to the Serie B.
Special techniques Edit
- Straight Line Dribble: Instead of technique, Hyuga uses power to break through in a straight line.
- Tiger Shot: After his training in Okinawa against the strong waves during a storm, Hyuga created the Tiger Shot, which is shot in a straight line of great power and speed, even able to get through the waves.
- Neo Tiger Shot: Schneider's Fire Shot, Hyuga decided to train with coach Kira's black ball, a ball that is three times heavier than normal. With that, Hyuga managed to produce a shot that is even more powerful than the Tiger Shot.
- Wild Tiger Shot: Since the Raiju Shoot puts a lot of strain to the legs, Hyuga create another shot, by training with much smaller balls and try to focus on the center of the ball, making more power transmitted into it.
- Jumping Tiger Volley
- Wild Jumping Tiger Volley
- Raiju Shoot: Gamo, inspired by Maki's signature pitch, the Riser Ball. By hitting the ground with his leg before shooting and using that reaction to fire his shoot, he made the shoot going near the ground at first and then going up in front of the keeper. The shoot can bring down a big tree, just like it's struck by lightning. It is later revealed that this is the last shoot that Roberto taught Tsubasa before the World Youth, which he named the Sky Wing Shoot.
- Jumping Raiju Shoot
- Korin Raiju Shoot: (with Jito) Hyuga uses Jito's back to jump higher and get the ball in mid-air, then do the Raiju Shoot as soon as he land.
- Senko Raiju Shoot (with Tsubasa and Misaki)
- Eagle Raiju Shoot (with Matsuyama)
- Reactive Fast Kick Quick Gun (Han Dou Shuu Soku Jin Hou)
- Overhead Kick
- Tiger Overhead
- Tiger Diving Head
- Tiger Pass
- Tiger Tackle
- Toho Golden Combi

The kidnappings follow those of three Japanese people who were meant to be released on Sunday but never showed up.
It's also not known what has happened to an American man, who was taken after US troops clashed with Iraqi fighters in the town of Falluja.
There was better news for the family of a British man, Gary Teeley, who was freed after being held for six days.
Mr Teeley, who works for a laundry firm, was kidnapped in the city of Nasiriya.
He called his family to tell them he was safe. He also wanted to know how his football team, West Ham, had been getting on.
The fighting in Falluja started after four US civilians were killed in the town last week.
It sparked off several days of intense fighting.
Over the weekend, the two sides agreed to put down their guns so talks could be held to try to sort out the problem.

VeriFone Systems Inc. has defied the headlines decrying gloom over the European debt crisis by enjoying continued growth in the region while continuing to expand payment-terminal installations rapidly in Latin America.
The San Jose, Calif., payment-terminal maker pleasantly surprised Wall Street observers and investors Dec. 14 by posting $416 million in revenue for the fiscal fourth quarter ended Oct. 31, a jump of 31.2% from the $317 million reported for the same period in 2010.
A strategic initiative with Google Inc.'s Google Wallet mobile-payment system represented a significant part of the glad tidings for VeriFone, which marked its sixth consecutive quarter of posting a revenue gain of 20% or more compared with the previous year.
Moreover, VeriFone's acquisition of Hypercom Corp.'s non-U.S. assets in the summer, and last month's acquisition of Point, a Stockholm-based provider of payment and gateway services, have been key factors in the company's revenue growth.
The purchase of Point, in particular, puts VeriFone on a path to make reality of its vision to offer retailers a service that easily will accept all payment types, including mobile and evolving alternative methods.
In light of reporting a fourth-quarter net income increase of 302%, at $198.8 million compared with $49.4 million last year, no one could blame VeriFone executives for the optimistic tone they took during a Wednesday conference call with industry analysts.
"Our international operations led the way in the fourth quarter, with Latin American sales again at record levels, with particular strength in Brazil," Doug Bergeron, VeriFone's chairman and chief executive, told analysts. "I think an amazing story for us continues to be Europe, which is surprising given the headline news."
The "amazing story" analogy in Europe rang true to the tune of a 112% revenue increase at $148.6 million compared with $70.1 million for the same quarter a year ago. In Latin America, VeriFone enjoyed revenue of $104.6 million, up 94.4% increase from $53.8 million.
VeriFone produced record sales levels in Latin America, fueled mostly by Brazil, which had high demand for the company's VX Evolution systems, Bergeron said. The company also captured "key customer wins" in other countries throughout that region by securing clients in Puerto Rico, Mexico and Central America, he added.
Attributing to the success in Europe is a partnership with Visa Inc. to increase the installation of in-taxi payment and media systems in London cabs leading up to the 2012 London Olympic Games, which has resulted in nearly 7,000 taxi drivers signing five-year processing agreements, Bergeron said. VeriFone expects to have 10,000 credit card terminals installed in taxis before the start of the Olympics next summer.
VeriFone continues to position itself well in the PCI-compliance arena, citing its VeriShield Protect advanced encryption software as a key driver in securing new clients during the quarter. In addition, VeriFone introduced PAYware Mobile Enterprise as a data-security method that works with existing point-of-sale systems for merchants accepting mobile payments.
The company has entered "a must-have phase for chip-and-PIN almost everywhere around the globe," Bergeron said.
That means VeriFone should benefit in markets, including the U.S., in which Near Field Communication upgrades or new terminals will be needed to accept the smart cards that are common in Europe.
"I think we are reaching a point where more and more people are saying they don't know what the future is for sure, but they know Near Field Communication is going to be part of it and they don't want to be flat-footed when that day arrives," Bergeron said.

BERLIN (Apr. 16)
Reports of disturbances and programs in parts of Russia in consequence of the execution of Vicar General Butchkevitch in Moscow, are characterized as "malicious invention" and "provocation" in cable advices from Kiev and Moscow received at the office here of the All-Russian Jewish Public Committee, commonly known as "Yidgescom". The Committee here had inquired, it states, as to the authenticity of the reports and was informed they were utterly unfounded.
"We have investigated the rumors and are able to state the reports of uprisings and pogroms are malicious inventions", reads a cable from the Committee's office in Kiev. The Moscow advice from the same source states merely "the reports are nothing but provocation".
No other denials have been forthcoming of the reports current the last fortnight of uprisings in Znitcmir and elsewhere in the Ukraine. All attempts by the JEWISH TELEGRAPHIC AGENCY to verify the reports have elicited no reply from its Russian correspondent, doubtlessly on account of the rigid censorship in force in Moscow.

Lucy's Insurance Company: Pay for post surgery therapy
Lucy is a sweet, vivacious, hard-working 6-year-old girl, who happens to have Cerebral Palsy. She is having neurological surgery on June 13, 2013 that will give her the chance to learn to walk all on her own, without an assistive device. Her parents are fortunate to have insurance that is paying for most of the operation, but they were denied coverage for the post-operative physical therapy she will need in order to get stronger and learn to walk again.
Tell her insurance company, which, since just found out about her story, I don't know the name of yet, to please cover her.
I know people who have cerebral palsy and they are wonderful people. However, none of them can walk so this is a great chance at life for Lucy.

Military veterans will be honored and immortalized through artwork during an upcoming art show that will bring together veterans and artists.
"World of Art: Honoring our Men and Women in Uniform" will celebrate the service and sacrifice of military veterans while providing a showcase for local artists, who will be able to offer their art for sale at the event. There will also be a showcase of culinary creations by students from San Bernardino Valley College.
San Bernardino Community College District and San Bernardino County Veterans Affairs are teaming up with other local schools, veterans' service organizations and the VA Loma Linda Healthcare System to host the veteran-centered art show Nov. 6 at the San Bernardino Hilton Hotel. Event planners will consider submissions from artists throughout the Inland Empire and nearby desert and mountain communities for display at this art show, planned to be an annual event.
"This event is open to both civilian and veteran artists and it will be a great opportunity for them to display their talent while providing an avenue for communication," said San Bernardino County Veterans Affairs Director Bill Moseley.
"Civilian artists (those who have not served in the military) will be able to express their appreciation for the many veterans who have served our great country, while veteran artists will be able to visually communicate to the public their unique experiences resulting from military service," Moseley said.
"The San Bernardino Community College District is very proud to co-sponsor this art show dedicated to our veterans," said Bruce Baron, San Bernardino Community College District chancellor.
All submissions should celebrate or exemplify American military service in some way, without being graphic in nature, to be considered for display in the art show. To be included in the exhibit, art composed of any visual medium (painting, drawing, sculpture, wood carving, mosaic, etc.) must be submitted for consideration by 4 p.m. Oct. 28. Entry rules, applications and additional information can be found at www.IEVetArts.org, or call 909-387-5516.

'The few, the proud'
By Doug Snover
Keith Gould wasn't especially motivated after graduating from Corona del Sol High School in 2001. He tried community college, but that didn't pan out. Without a college education, he wasn't having any luck finding a challenging job that also paid well.
That, he told his mother, is when he came to the realization he wanted to do something both difficult and honorable.
In November 2002, drawn by the idea of flying in helicopters, he joined the Marine Corps.
On June 5, after spending most of the past year making relief flights to areas devastated by the December tsunami and later flying combat missions in Iraq, Cpl. Keith Gould, now 22, returned to U.S. soil a battle-tested crew chief of a Marine Corps CH-46 helicopter.
"Omigosh, it was so exciting," his mother, Wendy, reported of her son's ceremonial homecoming with the HMM-165 "White Knights" Squadron to Marine Corps Air Station Miramar north of San Diego.
"I was just holding it all in and trying to keep composure. It was wonderful."
"They did a fly-by past the flight line, and then they turned around and came on the flight deck, and they taxied in single file. It was terrific. The best thing I've ever seen."
There is a photograph of their son that Wendy and Jim Gould hold very dear. In it, Keith stands in front of a row of military helicopters parked on an airfield in Iraq. Suspended from each helicopter's rotor is an American flag. It is a breezy day and the flags are rippling. Standing alongside the American flag in a brown flight suit, hands on his hips, Keith looks motivated indeed. The sun in his eyes may be causing him to squint, but his face is set in fierce determination.
"I'll be honest, I didn't have much direction coming out of high school," Keith said in a phone interview the day after his triumphant return.
"I went to college and I decided it really wasn't for me. I tried to work and find a good job that paid anything, but that didn't pan out. So as it turned out, I tried something different, like the Marine Corps."
"It's just this thing about being a Marine. 'The few, the proud,' you know?"
Did he find his honorable challenge? "And a little bit more, I'd have to say," he said.
"Do I feel like a White Knight? Yeah. We spent about a month in Indonesia and Sri Lanka. That was one of the main reasons I joined the Marine Corps, and especially to do what I wanted to do--help people. To give food to people who needed it most.
"We were real lucky to be in the middle of the ocean when that tsunami struck. We were in pretty close proximity and got to go over there and help out with the relief effort. I wanted to fly in the helicopter and give the starving children the rice and the water, and I got to do that.
"That was a highlight in my short career as a Marine."
Keith got a birds-eye view of the tsunami damage from his helicopter. Based on the pictures he saw on ship as they hurried to the rescue, it was a was more horrific scene in person than he'd been prepared for. "Some places in Sumatra on the coastline, everything within a mile inland was gone…not something you can prepare yourself for."
He flew construction materials and medical supplies to villages all but wiped out by the tsunami. The Marines even visited local hardware stores to pick up supplies and fly them to tsunami relief areas.
He flew "veggie runs" in Sri Lanka, helicoptering inland to local markets and loading "piles and piles" of fresh-grown vegetables to deliver to tsunami victims.
Eventually, however, the squadron left the tsunami relief effort and steamed to part of the world far less friendly to American Marines--Kuwait and Iraq.
Back at home, his mother and father charted Keith's travels on a world map. "He's seen both extremes," his father, Jim, said of Keith's missions in Indonesia and Iraq.
Learning experience
Keith's hitch in the Marines has been a wide-eyed learning experience for the whole family, his mother, Wendy, acknowledges.
"We're not a military family," she said. In fact, Keith's parents and even his older brother, Graham, all are native Canadians. "Keith is the only one born here," Wendy said.
With their youngest son in the Marines, his parents have learned a new vocabulary filled with military terms like "deployment" and "combat wings."
Wendy casually discusses different types of aircraft carried aboard the USS Bonhomme Richard, from her son's helicopter to gunships and jets that take off and land vertically.
"We've learned a lot," she acknowledges. "I have learned from him, and certainly a whole new appreciation for what families go through when they have a loved one not at home."
Both mother and son admit that she did not learn everything from her soldier son, however. Keith protected his mother from the details of his combat missions in Iraq.
"Keith has never told me that he's been under fire," Wendy said just before her son returned safely home. Instead, she learned from her older son, Graham, a graduate student at Northern Arizona University, "that he's been fired at by everything," she said.
"I tried to fill her in mainly on where I am and what I'm doing without giving too much information. But she always wants to know what's going on over there," Keith explained after his safe homecoming. "Sometimes it's just better not to divulge all the things that are really going on. It just makes people more worried about you."
Truth be told, the crew of his helicopter quickly learned not to fly too low in Iraq, he said. The crew flew casualty evacuation flights, troop transports and raids on insurgent hideouts, flying mostly at night. As one of two on-board crew chiefs, one of Keith's jobs was door gunner.
"That was a new experience (but) you do so much training to prepare yourself for it. The training that we did was pretty realistic, so when we got over there it was no big shock to do the type of missions we were flying. But you've got to stand back and realize, 'Holy crap, we're flying around in a war zone.'"
When they first arrived, the crew often flew as low as 200 feet above potentially hostile territory, he said. Soon, however, they learned to climb out of range – to perhaps 2,000 feet – when they were not pressed for time.
A few days before her son arrived at Miramar, Wendy wondered how much his experienced had changed him. Emails from aboard ship could only reveal so much about her son's frame of mind after months in a war zone.
Keith had been reluctant to talk about his experiences in Iraq, and "I was curious about the effect it had upon him," she said. "Keith is a very easygoing, very happy person. Each time I talked to him on the phone, that's what I heard."
But their Sunday reunion couldn't come quickly enough, she admitted.
By Monday, the relief was obvious in her voice as she spoke of the soldier who came home. Her son has not changed, she reported.
"So far, no. He has kept things very much in perspective...He's still my big, huggy kid. We talked a lot about his experiences over there. It seems like the whole world over things are not much different than they are at home in how people are treated.
"But Keith's still Keith. Which is very good."
Keith also is a hero to some schoolchildren in Chandler. He has been a pen pal to Miss Everson's third-grade class at Jacobson Elementary School since August. Like Keith's parents, Miss Everson's class has tracked Keith's travels on a world map and had kept in touch through letters.
"It was great getting those letters. They had interesting questions and a lot of cool stuff to say in their letters," Keith said.
"What's it like living on a ship? How big is your helicopter? What kind of stuff do you do everyday? What kind of food do you eat? It's cool to think that somebody thinks about the simple stuff in life."
"All the guys liked reading their letters because it brought the morale up a little bit and got them looking forward to getting back and getting back safe."
Miss Everson's third-graders are scheduled to have a homecoming celebration of their own with Keith from 5 to 7 p.m. Saturday, June 11, at the Peter Piper Pizza on Chandler Boulevard at Dobson Road.

Miranda Kerr Looks Hot in Green For a Meeting With Producer Harvey Weinstein
Miranda Kerr was in a tight green mini yesterday for a meeting in NYC with Harvey Weinstein. She was solo on Monday to take off from LAX, and it seems her latest trip east was for business. Miranda could be the latest model, following in the footsteps of Brooklyn Decker and Rosie Huntington-Whiteley, to make a move onto the big screen! At the moment, though, it's just her husband, Orlando Bloom, who earns a living as an actor. Miranda stays busy with her posing jobs and her organic skin care line, Kora, in addition to being a doting mom to nearly 7-month-old Flynn.

National Piano Conference
WHEN: June 27-30
WHERE: Raue Center for the Arts, 26 N. Williams St., Crystal Lake
INFO: For the complete festival lineup, visit www.rauecenter.org.
From the rockabilly music of Jerry Lee Lewis to the classical hits of famed pianist Danny Wright, the best in piano playing comes to the Raue Center for the Arts this weekend.
The four-day National Piano Conference begins June 27 with the area's top young players taking the stage at the Raue, 26 N. Williams St., Crystal Lake.
The performances that follow celebrate artists who were born to play.
"It sounds corny, but it's true," said Lance Lipinsky, who plays Jerry Lee Lewis in the Chicago cast of "Million Dollar Quartet." "It's the role I was supposed to play. Who'd ever think something like that would actually exist."
The long-running musical is inspired by the famed Sun Record recording session that brought together icons Lewis, Elvis Presley, Johnny Cash and Carl Perkins.
Lipinsky will perform Saturday in "Jerry Lee & Friends: An Evening with The King, The Killer and Cash." Joining him are Cody Slaughter as Elvis and Adam Lee as Johnny Cash. Slaughter has performed as part of the national touring cast of "Million Dollar Quartet," while Lee will be joining the Chicago cast of the musical. He makes his Illinois premiere at the Raue.
"They're just like icing on the cake," Lipinsky said.
A Texas native, Lipinsky grew up studying his father's record collection of Lewis, Elvis and Roy Orbison. Originally a guitar player, he borrowed a friend's keyboard at age 13 and taught himself to play.
He said he didn't really learn properly, but learned his own way.
"I play it like a guitar almost," he said of the piano. "I do a lot of little simple repetitive things that are easy to do, but stick out in people's minds more. It's similar to Jerry Lee, the wildness and the energy."
As part of the show, he said he hopes to interact with the audience, take questions and talk about piano playing, amid performances of Lewis' hits as the icon himself.
"There's no script here," he said. "It's all just pure music. The cool thing with this is they do want me to talk as much as I can about the piano because that's what the theme is. If they allow me the freedom, I'll talk up a storm."
The performance will showcase the roots of rockabilly, which evolved into rock 'n' roll.
On the more classical, New Age side, pianist and composer Danny Wright will tell another story through his music June 30.
His is the story of the way in which music heals. Along with many of the hits featured in the 6 million albums he's sold in his 30-year career, Wright will perform songs from his new double album, "Reflections."
Aside from a dedicated cover of "Moonlight in Vermont," the album features original songs written specifically by request for fans in honor of loved ones. The names of the people the songs were written for are included in the CD jacket.
"For years, I've been asked to write these special compositions," Wright said. "It just came out really, really beautiful. It's probably my finest work in my 30-year career."
Wright said he receives daily messages from fans who've been inspired, even healed by his music, as they face life struggles, such as alcoholism and other ailments. Other songs reflect celebrations, such as weddings or anniversaries.
Those messages, as well as some of his own personal struggles, inspired the latest album. No personal tale is too small, he said, and his songs reflect real-life experiences.
"I just think all of life's experiences from the beginning to now have really taught me what it's like to be the best person I can be," he said. "This is probably the best place I've ever been in my life, and it's really reflected in my music."
Wright started playing piano by ear at age 4, playing the theme from "Dr. Zhivago" in the family's living room.
He rose to fame in the late-1980s with his "Black and White" series, but faced some ups and downs through the years.
After the 1990s, he said he had to learn how to get his music out into modern media, such as iTunes and Amazon, as more record stores folded.
In the past year, he's started his own Las Vegas-based independent record label and has worked to rerelease a catalog of songs previously recorded, some of which were never released.
Naïve at a young age, he said he learned how important it is to trust the people working with you.
"I was young, and I didn't know it, and they were taking 40 percent of everything I was making and hiding it and confiscating it," he said.
Later, the loss of both of his parents deeply affected him, leading to depression. He turned to faith, and now knows his parents are watching over him and very proud, he said.
"In my life, I have become a very spiritual person," he said. "Through my spirituality, this beautiful music is flowing out of me."By JAMI KUNZER – email@example.com

Investors still fuming over Facebook IPO fumbling
The week that has passed since Facebook's (FB) fumbled IPO has done little to quiet the controversy and discontent surrounding the biggest technology IPO in financial market history.
By tumbling from their initial offering price — rather than skyrocketing, as many hoped — the current value of Facebook's shares has triggered a litany of regulatory probes and lawsuits in response to investor ire.
Investors who piled into the much-anticipated IPO and held on have suffered significant losses. Shares of the No. 1 social networking firm went public at $38 on May 18 and traded as high as $45 the first day before pulling back.
This week the pullback turned into a face plant. On Friday, a week after the stock's debut, shares fell $1.12, or 3.4%, to close at $31.91, nearly 16% below the IPO price and 29% below that day's high.
Regulators, including the Securities and Exchange Commission and the Commodities Futures Trading Commission, this week have said they will look into the trading that occurred in the stock.
Facebook shares struggle
Facebook stock since it's IPO.
Meanwhile, several lawsuits have been filed against the Nasdaq trading exchange as well as against Morgan Stanley, the deal's main underwriter, and Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg.
Specifically, three Facebook investors sued Morgan Stanley as well as other underwriting banks on the deal and Zuckerberg, alleging that Facebook's revenue estimates were reduced just prior to the IPO and allegedly only some lucky investors were informed of the change in outlook.
Facebook has denied the allegations. Morgan Stanley said in an e-mailed response it conducted the IPO in compliance with the law.
Some investors may be trying to undo their involvement in the IPO and get some of their money back. Morgan Stanley is reviewing trades made by its clients and may reimburse some investors if it's determined errors by Nasdaq caused the losses, the Associated Press first reported and USA TODAY confirmed Friday.
That's a far cry from the hoopla and celebrating of the past few weeks preceding the tech giant's launch as a publicly trading company.

Vallejo Times-Herald
How Vallejo stays low, dry
City no desert, but has a lot of factors allowing for minimal heavy rain damage
By MATTHIAS GAFNI/Times-Herald staff writer
Vallejo Times Herald
Sunday, January 8, 2006
First in a two-part series
Precariously close to the ever-flooding Napa River and near the mouth of the Sacramento Delta and its crumbling levee system, at a measly 60 feet above sea level, sits Vallejo.
Seemingly a prime target for monumental flooding, Vallejo has, so far at least, managed to avoid catastrophic deluges.
In last weekend's intense rainstorm, Vallejo suffered flooding, $1.86 million worth in damages, according to the Solano County Office of Emergency Services. However, compared to nearby Vacaville's $25.8 million, Fairfield's $23.5 million and Napa County's $135 million in losses, Vallejo escaped relatively unscathed.
So, how has Vallejo avoided major flood woes, while its neighbors suffer so? Some of it's luck, some foresight and some learning from past mistakes.
In a post-Hurricane Katrina world, with an intense microscope on areas with levees and man-made infrastructure protecting people from water, Vallejo finds itself surprisingly unaffected.
With few levees nearby, Vallejo's biggest concerns lie with levees protecting half of its drinking water in the Delta and farmland its agency owns. Nothing life threatening.
Lake Chabot Dam once caused great concern in Vallejo, threatening a subdivision of thousands below it, but improvements have negated concerns.
Nature helped ease pressure from the Napa River, with bounties of wetlands providing a flood barrier and crucial environment for endangered species. However, the new formidable Highway 37 may have provided the ultimate levee protecting the city's northwest shore from the Napa River.
All in all, Vallejo officials feel confident that the city will hold up if a catastrophic flood hits the region.
Napa River
Every winter it rains and the Napa River reaches its banks. And more often than residents care for, the river spills over its banks. So much so that Napa is in the middle of a $255 million flood control project that likely won't be completed until 2011.Considering Napa County suffered an estimated $135 million in damages just from last weekend's rains, it may seem like a bargain.
That same flood-prone river moves south through Napa and American Canyon and empties into Mare Island Strait at Vallejo.
So, how has Vallejo dodged the Napa River flooding? Well, it has and it hasn't. Vallejo has topography on its side.
While the Napa River forms a C-shape around the city of Napa and often bottlenecks under low-lying bridges, the body of water straightens and widens at Vallejo, says Ron Matheson, Vallejo Sanitation and Flood District manager.
The river also has the luxury of surrounding wetlands reaching out to Sears Point.
Even with the geographical advantages, Vallejo hasn't always dodged the brown Napa River.
White Slough
In the early 1960s, the wetlands along Highway 37 between Sacramento Street and Sonoma Boulevard were dry and served as a small local airport. The Napa River had no access to the area: it was completely blocked by levees.
Later in the 1960s, there was a breach of those levees, flooding the White Slough area. The Army Corps of Engineers cleaned up and fixed the levee. Again in the 1970s, the levee was breached, flooding the area. Again the Corps fixed it. However, they told the local property owners it would be their responsibility from then on, Matheson said.
Finally, in the late 1970s, the levee was breached again, and water filled the empty White Slough land. The water remained for over a year, officially making it a federal wetlands, Matheson said, providing it numerous environmental protections.
Property owners still own land in White Slough, Matheson said, however it's all permanently submerged.
Environmentally, the addition of White Slough was vital for endangered species, Matheson said. The largest environment for the California Clapper rail is in White Slough, he said.
"It's surprising how rapidly it went back to nature," Matheson said.
As wetlands, White Slough provides a quasi-flood plain for any spillage from the Napa River, along with acres of wetlands west toward Sears Point.
"Our saving grace is Caltrans came in and built Highway 37 so big that it's protecting us and we won't face a flooding issue," said Matheson, who's worked 26 years for the flood district. "Highway 37 would have to fail and it's a large man-made structure and couldn't fail, I believe."
Caltrans also added a state-of-the-art culvert system under Highway 37 to allow tidal influences on White Slough.
Those wetlands still get large amounts of water during heavy storms, but the east side, along Sonoma Boulevard, was built up to prevent flooding there.
Lake Chabot Dam
During the city's last 100-year flood in 1982, Lake Chabot dam spilled over its banks, causing significant flooding in the Lofas subdivision below. Residents were forced to flee homes by boat, and panic arose when reports of the dam breaking surfaced.
The dam never collapsed, but city and state officials quickly worked to shore it up.
Again, during heavy storms in 1986, media began reporting that Lake Chabot Dam may burst after hearing police and fire radio traffic calling for immediate evacuations because of an impending break.
Residents frantically left their homes throughout the area, finding out later that the dam was not breaking.
The dam was built in 1870 to create Lake Chabot, early Vallejoans' first drinking water system. The dam lies at the north tip of Lake Chabot, along Dan Foley Park and Six Flags Marine World.
The dam is 47 feet high, with a capacity of 504 acre feet of water and a reservoir area of 61 acres. It's an earth-filled dam, instead of a concrete dam. Water feeds into Lake Chabot through Blue Rock Springs Creek.
After the 1971 San Fernando Valley earthquake, the state began looking at old dams across California, Fred Sage, state Division of Safety of Dams' chief of field branch, said.
"We found that many dams were not built to modern earthquake standards," Sage said.
Lake Chabot dam was one. In the late 1970s, crews reinforced the lower section with a berm, basically compacting dirt on top to make it thicker, Sage said.
Following the overflow during the 1982 floods, the dam's spillway was strengthened. Flood district trustees also voted to create a larger storm drainage system to move the spillway water quickly out of the Lofas neighborhood.
Now, the dam is completely safe, Sage says.
"There's nothing wrong with the dam. It should be able to pass any flood," Sage said.
Sage and his agency inspect the dam every year, checking for plant growth, rodent activity, erosion and anything else that could weaken the dirt structure.
During inspections, the state can mark deficiencies in the dam. Lake Chabot dam has no such deficiencies, Sage said.
Of the 1,200 dams Sage's agency inspects throughout the state, none of the Solano County dams appear on the agency's problem dam list.
The nearest trouble dam is the Milliken Creek Dam above the Napa River. That dam, owned by the city of Napa, is under water restriction.
Eight miles northeast of Napa, off Highway 121, the concrete arch dam is restricted from holding too much water out of stability concerns in the event of an earthquake, Sage said.
"A historic fill could be a problem. At a restricted level it should not be a problem. The water pressure is low enough," Sage said.
If the dam were breached, the water would flow down into the upper Napa River and surrounding communities, Sage said.
The levee breaks in New Orleans after last year's Hurricane Katrina and subsequent loss of human life, and recent Bay Area floods have local officials scrambling to secure the state's aging Delta levee system.
In Thursday's State of the State Address, Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger outlined a massive infrastructure bond that would send $35 billion to improving flood control and water supplies.
Despite all public safety concerns over levee breaks, residents of Vallejo have little to fear, officials say.
"I don't think anything would really impact Vallejo if we had a Delta levee failure," Matheson said. "No levees protect the people in the city of Vallejo."
However, the area's drinking water could suffer from a breach near the Northbay Aqueduct. But Vallejo only gets half its drinking water from that regional water hub near Travis Air Force Base. The other half comes from a relatively safe Lake Berry-essa. (see page ??, for related story)
One of Matheson's biggest levee concerns doesn't even lie within Vallejo's city limits. The Vallejo Sanitation and Flood District owns 1,800 acres of farmland near Sears Point that 100-year-old levees protect from Sonoma and Tulay creeks and San Pablo Bay.
The district contracts a farmer to grow wheat on the farm land, netting the agency about $100,000 a year. In addition, the district can truck sludge from its wastewater facility to the farm, which uses it as fertilizer.
By not having to truck those bio-solids to an out-of-town dump, the district saves about $900,000 a year, Matheson said, keeping Vallejo sewer rates low.
So, the farmland is a $1 million-a-year cash crop, so to speak.
However, the levees are fragile. The farmer maintains and keeps watch on most of the levees, on the district's dime.
"He's fairly vigilant with the levee. He's the eyes and ears out there," Matheson said.
About a decade ago, Matheson said the farmland suffered a major levee failure during a set of major storms.
"It flooded the whole island. We had zero crops that year," Matheson said.
"If we lost that island it would cost us $1 million a year in additional costs because we'd have to haul (sludge) to a landfill," Matheson said.
All things considered, Matheson said the levees are in "pretty good shape." "We work on them every couple of years," he said, adding the levees fared fine in the recent rains.
Flood zones
Vallejoans may not have to worry about getting rescued off their rooftops from helicopters like New Orleans flood victims, but that doesn't mean there still isn't inconvenient and even costly flooding in this city.
The flood district received about 20 different claims from flooded residences and businesses from last weekend's storm, Matheson said.
Most of those were in the Hampshire and Mississippi streets neighborhood, off Couch Street. "It's simply a low spot," Matheson said. "And there was too much rain."
A past problem area, Lake Dalwigk, off Curtola Parkway, poses a limited threat now, Matheson said. In the past, the lake - which serves as a flood basin before water can be piped into Mare Island Strait - has flooded, leaving up to 6 feet of water in the surrounding Lemon Street neighborhood.
Since the flood district widened and drained the lake, and created a larger storm channel to the strait, Lake Dalwigk has behaved, Matheson said.
Sandy Beach, an unincorporated strip of dozens of homes along Mare Island Strait, still receives landslides from the cliff above them, Matheson said.
To coordinate which areas of Vallejo are vulnerable, the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) designates cities' flood zones.
"They are areas in town that would flood in a 100-year storm," City Engineer Gary Leach said. "As improvements are made, they can be taken out of flood zones too."
The zones aren't an exact indicator either, he said. "A lot of those areas (in the flood zone) have never flooded and some areas that flood a lot aren't named in flood zones," Leach said.
However, a flood zone designation means if you own a home there, the mortgage company usually requires you to have flood insurance.

UK Employment Law
UK Employment Law Questions Answered by Verified Experts
Yes, that's correct. Purely for the sake of my mental health and well being I am requesting that I work three weeks rather than six weeks. Although I have just returned to work I do not feel 100% yet. I am still on the antidepressants which side effects are still pretty harsh - especially as I have been prescribed a higher dosage. I am very worried that I could get worse and replase, have another panic attack and potentially breakdown and be signed off again - hence my request to leave sooner rather than later.
There will also be cover for my work therefore the business needs should not be massivley impacted.
Hello, sorry I was in a meeting by the time you had replied. It is entirely reasonable to propose working a reduced notice period instead of the full contractual notice period you may be required to work, although the employer does not necessarily have to pay you for the remaining 3 weeks if you are not prepared to work them. So the potential outcomes for you are:
If there is evidence from your GP and OH that you should be placed on a phased return then it is of course strongly advisable for the employer to do so. Whilst they cannot be forced to do so, their failure to follow this advice can result in a case of constructive dismissal or breach of their health and safety obligations.
Hi Ben - Thank you very much. This is very helpful.
You are most welcome. Please take a second to leave a positive rating for the service I have provided you with as that is an important part of our process. Thank you and all the best

Moxifloxacin Can I Get. Need Moxifloxacin Where To Purchase In Us
The first three days on Avelox were difficult. It made me feel disoriented, dizzy and sleepy. I had to rearrange my days to accommodate a 2 hour nap everytime I took it. I got used to the medicine by day 4...so give it time. It cleared up my sinus and double ear infection which persisted after full courses of both Augmentin and Bactrim. Also, I did not feel better until about 4-5 days on the medicine, so don't feel discouraged if you don't feel great right away.

iOS devices, will be used to broadcast backstage footage and rehearsals of the May 19th season finale of Saturday Night Live. Music fans take note that the episode will feature Mick Jagger as host alongside the Foo Fighters and Arcade Fire as musical guests.
The promotion is part of a co-branded marketing campaign with Verizon Wireless, which streams sound and video clips shared by Color for Facebook users across its 4G network.
Here is a nationwide Verizon Wireless commercial featuring Color for Facebook.
And here is a recent blog post from Color co-founder and CEO Bill Nguyen talking about how to get involved in the SNL promotion as well as his love for the original cast members of the show:
LIVE from Studio 8H, it's Saturday Night Live!
Color and Verizon Do SNL:
Kids do a lot of things they're not supposed to do. My parents had a firm 10pm bedtime. For years, I snuck a portable TV into my room on Saturday nights and covered it with a blanket to watch Saturday Night Live. Looking back, managing the heat output from that TV was my first technical achievement.
The parental wrath and fire risk were worth it. There's something magical about LIVE TV. I watched in anticipation to see what Jim Belushi, Dan Aykroyd and Eddie Murphy would do. I had to tune in, it was LIVE. SNL made Mondays my favorite day. Re-performing the sketches at school was a red badge of courage. Like a concert shirt, I proved I was there. Looking back, being a fan of SNL and a part of something LIVE brought me closer to my friends.
It's only been one short week since Verizon Wireless brought Color to its amazing 4G LTE network and devices. Now, SNL will be using the Color for Facebook app to Broadcast a sneak peek of SNL cast members LIVE this week as they get ready for the show and then more Color Broadcasts, LIVE backstage during the season finale hosted by Mick Jagger.
I've dreamed about being backstage at SNL my entire life. Verizon Wireless is granting my wish (and yours too). Through the Color app and on Facebook, we get to see a LIVE glimpse of how the show comes together and be there backstage LIVE on Saturday night for the season finale.
To get backstage, all you'll need to do is fan Verizon Wireless or SNL on Facebook and get the free Color for Facebook app.

SNL will be streaming LIVE backstage using the Color for Facebook app during this week's rehearsals and Saturday night's season finale. Viewers will have a chance to see what really happens backstage and behind the scenes LIVE.

Now for the first time ever, Saturday Night Live will harness the power of LIVE app broadcasting, and give fans the chance to see behind the scenes.
WHEN: 11:30 pm EDT, May 19th – Saturday Night Live will be using new technology (the free Color app) to LIVE Broadcast backstage during their May 19th Season Finale featuring host Mick Jagger and musical guests Foo Fighters and Arcade Fire.
WHY: As Saturday Night Live fans know best, there's nothing more thrilling than live TV, it gives viewers a chance to see the unexpected and unpredictable. SNL is taking this to the next level, essentially SNL will broadcast from their phone to yours, and fans will get a rare peek into what really happens when the cameras stop rolling.
HOW: To get backstage, all you'll need to do is fan Verizon Wireless or SNL on Facebook and get the free Color for Facebook app.

Take a look at the sexy French drama that has spellbound movie critics at the Cannes Film Festival in May this year.
The first official trailer for critics' darling "Blue Is the Warmest Color" has landed online. Without dialogs and explicit contents which were featured in the international trailer, the newly-released video gives a look at the sexy and provocative drama which is based on 2010's French graphic novel "Blue Angel" by Julie Maroh.
Directed and scripted by Abdellatif Kechiche, the drama movie features Adele Exarchopoulos as Adele, a young woman whose longings and ecstasies and losses are charted across a span of several years. "Midnight in Paris" actress Lea Seydoux plays the blue-haired Emma, who excites Adele's desire and becomes the love of her life.
The film shocked some critics with its long and graphic sex scenes when it premiered at the Cannes Film Festival, but at the same time impressed them, with the jury president Steven Spielberg calling it "magnificent." The movie won the Palme d'Or at the festival, becoming the first film to be awarded the prize to both the director and the main actresses.
Rated NC-17, it will play in select theaters in the U.S. starting October 25.

New Sony Camera Has Built-In CD Burner
The original Sony Mavica digital cameras offered simplicity, but with a compromise. With most digital cameras, you need to use either wires or a special reading device to transfer pictures to your computer. But Sony made it easy to store and transfer images by incorporating a familiar device into the camera itself: a floppy disc drive. Pop the floppy out of the camera and into your computer.

By Rob Harrington, special to USA TODAY
If college basketball is described in terms of a cycle, this week would be its full moon. From now until the full opening of the tournament on Thursday, offices, locker rooms and dinner tables will be occupied by hoops-babbling zombies. This team could make a run to the Final Four. No, that first-round opponent is dangerous. Don't count out the mid-majors!
And on and on, so much that the beginning of the action brings a welcome halt to the pervasive speculation.
But for fans who follow recruiting like a sport of its own, the tournament breathes a life of additional layers. There's a story to tell for each team in the tournament that expands beyond its wins and losses. Understanding the composition and design behind a roster through recruiting offers a broader view of a coach's philosophy.
Let's take those abstractions and put them to work:
First, look at the No. 1 seeds. Florida, with its dazzling lineup of talent, depth, versatility and experience, is a testament to how Billy Donovan changed his recruiting over the years. During his first few seasons in Gainesville, Donovan went toe-to-toe for national recruits, outgunning traditional powers to load up on raw talent. While the Gators undeniably had some very good teams during those years — including a run to the 2000 NCAA final — a host of early departures and on-court chemistry problems caused the team to underachieve in the tournament as recently as 2005, despite a roster full of prep All-Americans.
Donovan then became more particular about whom he offered, and balance and role fulfillment became higher priorities. And as everyone knows by now, during their supposed rebuilding season, the Gators' youngsters grew into monsters and ran the table to bring Florida a national championship. There are questions about how quickly Florida can position itself to make another run at the title, but even if the Gators fall short in their attempt to repeat, Donovan's strategy obviously has been justified.
There's obviously more than one way to march toward a title. One year earlier, in 2005, the star-studded collection of players at North Carolina gelled to defeat that year's other superpower team, Illinois, which had been constructed more similarly to the 2005 Gators.
Back to this year, the No. 1-seeded Tar Heels again find themselves in contention for the championship. Like that 2005 team, this group is very talented, only not nearly as experienced. Remember, UNC and Ohio State brought in the consensus top two recruiting classes this season, and the effects are obvious. Roy Williams established himself as a charming, folksy recruiter early during his tenure at Kansas, and his personality and credentials are assisted by one of America's most recognizable brands.
The risk at North Carolina is that the slew of NBA talents will cash in on that promise after only a year or two of college, hurting the program's efforts to build a squad complete with both talent and experience. But as long as Williams is in control, expect the Tar Heels to continue to build a team around elite talent.
The Buckeyes are making a push to become a regular among the tournament's high seeds. Thad Matta was so successful and publicized that this season's epic success actually was expected, despite the Buckeyes' struggle with scandal (related to the previous coaching staff) and relative lack of postseason accomplishment in recent years. Best of all, even if the program gets hit by early NBA defections (Greg Oden, Daequan Cook, Mike Conley, et al), OSU already has tremendous classes lined up for the next two years. The quick ascent of this year's team is proof enough that recruiting big allows for big, quick improvements.
Over in the West region, Kansas is another team that has assembled an immensely talented group of players under recruiting virtuoso Bill Self. The past two years were disastrous for the Jayhawks in the tournament, as they entered the field as a high seed yet were eliminated in the first round on both occasions. This year's team lacks a senior but boasts more toughness than those squads and perhaps the best overall backcourt in the country. As is the case for the three other No. 1 seeds, Kansas is expected to watch several of those players leave at some point prior to their fourth season on campus. If Kansas somehow stumbles early in the tournament this season, national pundits may begin to question whether Self needs to adapt his approach to be more similar to Donovan's foundation-laying process.
Of course, a team needn't be a dominant seed to win the championship, and getting the recognition of a No. 1 hardly guarantees a trip to the Final Four. College basketball's annual stampede of talent to the NBA bolsters the causes of the mid-major programs, particularly those with tough, seasoned groups. The most famous recent example is George Mason, which dispatched some of the nation's elite programs on its way to a shocking Final Four appearance last season. And if a team can earn a trip to the Final Four, what's to stop them from winning it.
Mid-majors such as George Mason clearly rely more on their players' experience, because they generally don't have the option to sign the most touted prep players. Just look at our top 100 player rankings to see how that plays out. As a result, some down years should be expected. But even with a relative paucity of at-large mid-majors in this year's tournament field, it's highly likely that at least one Final 16 team will emerge from those proud ranks. Additionally, we've learned that the strong mid-majors are a group expanding in number, so as one team rebuilds, another is peaking.
The wide variation in rosters, philosophies and histories always are a fascinating aspect of the tournament for recruiting fans. On some level, it's also satisfying to watch as the most hyped teams fall, a reminder that sometimes teams get too much attention, too quickly.
The only certainty is this: We'll all be watching.

A tied score at the end of regulation was a new experience to a young Amherst team. In their nine previous games, all had ended at the buzzer, no matter how close. But against Clark University, the Jeffs reinvigorated themselves and rekindled their hunger to score.
The Cougars used their aggressive play to hold off 21 Amherst shots, though they could not convert one of their own. Jen Shea '98 registered a dramatic defensive save against an airborne ball heading for the cage. Goalie Jess Rich '99 has six shutouts in nine games.
In overtime with only six players on the field for each team, Sandy Accordino '99 scored her sixth goal of the season with a redirection of a Marnie Huffman-Green '99 penalty corner. Combined, Accordino and Huffman-Green have generated more than half of the Amherst offensive numbers.
The Jeffs travel to Wesleyan with the hopes that they can claim the 1996 Little III title. Last Saturday, Amherst defeated Williams 1-0. The Jeffs are currently ranked No. 15 in the nation according to the Field Hockey Coaches Association Poll.
0 0 1 -- 1 Clark (5-7) 0 0 0 -- 0
Scoring: A Sandy Accordino (Marnie Huffman-Green) 9:33 in sudden death. Shots (in/out of circle): A 10/11, C 7/2. Goalie Saves: A Jess Rich 5, C Tanya Schubert 5.

Mcdonalds Hamburger Ingredients
February 1, 2012 by staff
Mcdonalds Hamburger Ingredients, Today's gross-out: McDonald's has buckled to pressure from celebrity chef Jamie Oliver and eliminated ammonium hydroxide from its hamburger meat.
Ammonion hydroxide is the same ingredient used in household cleaners and fertilizers, even homemade bombs, though it is approved for food use by the U.S. Department of Agriculture.
McDonald's used the pink goop to convert inedible scrap meat into yummy hamburgers. McDonald's acknowledged it stopped using "select beef trimmings," a delicate term for ammonium hydroxide-soaked scrap meat ground into a pink paste, last year.
Until 2003, McDonald's made its chicken nuggets similarly by processing everything into a slimy goop, then eliminating the bacteria with ammonia, adding flavor humans recognize as chicken-like before finally injecting artificial color to make it look like chicken. (It's now made with actual white-meat chicken.)

Yes, I admit it it's true! I did manage a photograph or two at VSAC that were definitely on the outrageous side. You'll get a sense for the real fun of VSAC when you see these and you'll also see what you're missing when you don't show up!

And here we have PFO Editor Dave Clark (left) with Audio Asylum's Rod Morris (right) a quiet moment in the halls at VSAC 2003... as the viewer tries to figure out where the heck are their other hands?!
After a great dinner of Thai food, there's nothing like sitting outside at the fire pit, smokin' great cigars and sippin' that preferred adult beverage
yep, there's nothing like that quiet moment at the fire pit smokin' cigars! Rod Morris of AA and Stevie-o Rochlin compare notes on their favorite Cubanos you know, "Is that a cigar, Steve, or are you just glad to see me?!" Alan Kafton adds a definite touch to the moment, while Dave and Carol Clark get ready to sign a notarized statement .
After a LONG night of audiophile hoo-rah, our good friend Steve "Mr. Ferrari!" Rochlin was wise enough to take it easy at breakfast. Here he appears in the dining room the next morning, ably escorted by Maestro Kafton, wearing his trés chic silk bathrobe and Cohiba Cubano doggie slippers.
Uh, we kid you not!
