As more and more of us shop at Farmers Markets or places that sell whole foods and have become aware of the importance of eating clean and organic foods we are naturally moving toward foods that have the potential to make us incredibly healthy! Superfoods are not new, as a matter of fact; they all go back to ancient times. We are just rediscovering what our ancestors knew instinctively.
Super foods are natural food sources with highly concentrated, complex supply of high quality nutrients with the least negative properties. The magazines are pushing them as diet aids, the truth is they are not always low in calories, but, for the number of calories present, they are always high in nutrients. They are an excellent addition to any healthy diet.
Superfoods should not be the only part of your diet. A really healthy diet would include a combination of live, raw plant foods, super herbs and super foods. Superfoods can help nourish the brain, muscles, bones, organs, immune system and hair, skin and nails. They also correct imbalance in the diet. They prevent or reduce inflammation, help regulate metabolism and burn body fat, lower total cholesterol, lower blood pressure, help protect against heart disease, help protect against cancer, help protect organs from toxins and promote digestive health. The list goes on and each individual superfood will have it's unique perks to it.
The ultimate goal would be to be able to quit taking vitamin and mineral supplements and actually get these nutrients from your foods.
A few Superfoods include:
Aloe Vera
Bee Products
Camu Camu Berry
Chia Seeds
Fermented Foods
Goji Berries
Incan Berries
Maca Root
Marine Phytoplankton
There are way more Superfoods out there, this is just a quick list. Superfoods are high in micronutrients (vitamins & minerals) but can also have the following qualities…
Adaptogen: A plant based substance with combined therapeutic actions in the human body. An adaptogen strengthens and invigorates the system while helping the body to deal more easily with stress of differing origin by supporting the adrenal glands. Adaptogens are believed to reinforce the non-specific power of resistance of the body against physical, chemical or biological noxious agents. They must also have a normalizing influence and may not be harmful or alter the bodies' normal functions.
Antioxidants: A substance that reduces damage due to oxygen. Think rust or an apple turning brown.
HGH: Human Growth Hormone, Growth hormone is produced by the pituitary gland to fuel childhood growth and help maintain tissues and organs throughout life. Our growth hormone slows as we age.
Polysaccharides: A carbohydrate whose molecules consist of a number of sugar molecules bonded together that fortify the immune system.
Sesquiterpenoids: A class of Terpenes that have anti-inflammatory properties. They increase production of HGH by stimulating the pituitary and penal glands.
Wondering how you can easily work some of these awesome foods into your daily life? Contact me for your breakthrough session today! You will discover which foods fuel you and which ones drain you and we will create your personal roadmap to health.

5 Tips to Gain More Energy
Here's a few tiparoo's for you to get a natural pick-me-up everyday…
Sleep: I know what you're thinking. That's a no brainer. Obviously I need to sleep more to gain energy. Yes, but often times it's overlooked either due to our hectic schedules or just not making the time. Go for 7-8 hours and feel free to sleep even longer than that if you want to. Your waking hours will be more productive and you will feel great. Also, go to bed by 10pm. Our bodies start producing cortisol at 11pm which can give you a second wind and make it hard to fall asleep.
Stay Hydrated: Drink at least half of you body weight in water per day everyday. When we dry out, things stop working properly, so that is a great start on the road to perfect health and gaining energy.
Ditch the Caffeine: What? Why would I stop drinking caffeine to gain energy? Well, caffeine will overwork your adrenal glands and deplete your overall energy overtime and ruin your health and even cause more stress in the long run. Think about when you barrow money from the bank. You eventually have to pay it back right? Unless you have a super cool bank that doesn't require payback. It's the same thing with our bodies. The caffeine stimulates you and pulls the energy from somewhere, but eventually it must be payed back.
Stop eating processed foods: If the label has more than five ingredients or you cannot pronounce an ingredient, don't eat it. Stick to whole foods. Join the Winter Clean Eating Program to find out how you can easily do this and feel great.
Exercise: Get up and get moving. Even a 10-15 minute walk can help get the blood moving and the mind stimulated. If you're sitting at your desk working on a project, get up every once in a while and take a walk around the block. Not only will the exercise help, some fresh air will do you good.
Feel like you could use some more support with the above suggestions? Join the Clean Eating Program and kick-start your energy in an easy sustainable way. Drew is a Board Certified Holistic Health Coach and will work with you to create a personal roadmap to perfect health.

Farmer Profile: Lucila from Suzie's Farm Part 1…
Not too long ago, we had the pleasure of sitting down and chatting with Lucila de Alejandro who along with her husband, Robin Taylor own one of the largest most, influential Organic Farms here in San Diego called Suzie's Farm. You've probably seen their diverse selection of incredibly fresh veggies at your local Farmer's Market with interesting products that you don't see everywhere like purple cauliflower and watermelon gherkins (little mini tart cucumbers trapped inside a tiny watermelon body)
And for those of you who think that the famous "Suzie" is some head honcho boss lady running the show down at the farm, you are wrong. Suzie's Farm is named after an abandoned dog that made it's way onto the property that Robin and Lucila adopted back in the early days before the farm started.
While down on the farm, we sat right smack dab in the the middle of one of the fields that will soon be yeilding loads of vegetables while acting as an interactive learning center where the public can go and take tours and learn about what goes into that carrot that took several months to grow and at the right time was thoughtfully wiggled and tugged from the earth; its roots still holding on for dear life…You get the idea. There is a lot that goes into our experience with food.
We sat down on some hay bails, lady bugs crawling on Lucila's straw hat as we talked about her background, inspirations, challenges of owning a farm as well as where she sees organic farming in the future and much more…
Lucila is inspired by the Earth and all the elements that go along with it such as the sky, the sun, the wind and digging our hands in the soil. All of these things inspire her and are part of our relationship with the Earth. She describes the Earth as "enlivening and it's the giver of life". She is also inspired by her two daughters, which are why her and Robin started the farm in the first place.
Robin and Lucila, originally took over Sungrown Distributors which was founded by Robin's Father in 1984. It was the first company in San Diego to produce microgreens and sprouts for wholesale customers. Since that specific market can fluctuate and Lucila was interested in getting to know her customers on a more personal level, the farm was eventually born.
With doubts on how they could make a farm work and be able to pay themselves while working full time jobs between Sungrown and Lucila's job as an Organic Inspector, they began with just one acre of property and one part time staff member at the farm in Imperial Beach. They soon found out how much work it would be and how farming such a small size of land would never be profitable, so they were able to acquire more land and quickly grew the farm from 1 acre in 2008 to around 70 acres by July of 2009. Now, four years later, with a team of 85 workers, they have recently acquired another 60 acres where they plan to continue having large events and tours so that the public can experience the work, time, thought and love that goes into the food that they eat.
Having the farm tours and letting people come and harvest their own produce is what sets Suzie's apart from most average farms. Lucila states that education, community outreach and getting people down to the farm are all part of their mission and that it is reflected in their staff as well. She says, "Pull the carrot from the ground and look at it. Plant the seed yourself. Take a tour and see what it takes. See how that carrot grows and changes over the course of five months. While you're busy with your day to day life, that plant keeps growing, you will eat that plant or it will turn to mush in your refrigerator. Understand the depth of this human experience." She also adds that if you are looking for something to do for you're 3 year old and 73 year old, the interactive farm tour is where youmust go as it is great for all ages.
We have so much more to talk about from our time spent with Lucila, so stay tuned for round 2 where we hear more about Suzie's Farm and where she sees Organic Farming in the future…
Superfood Spotlight: Avocados
If you're not eating avocados because you're worried about getting too much fat, snap out of it because you'll be missing out on all the other nutrient dense goodies that this superfood holds.By the way, we're long past the 90's where fat was evil. Welcome to the New Age where fat is fabulous! You brain and other vital parts of your body need fat to survive and thrive. You also cannot absorb vitamins without eating fat and avocados contain plenty of healthy fats as well as vitamins and all essential amino acids. Think of fat as the vehicle to transport all the necessary micro-nutrients to your cells. When we don't get enough fat, things become unbalanced and we crave other unhealthy foods.
Also high in protein, the avocado is a complete food, offering an all in one dose of everything you body needs. The often over-looked avocado is a delicious, creamy superfood that's simply too health-boosting to skip. The myriad of healthy fats and nutrients found in avocados – oleic acid, lutein, folate, vitamin E, monounsaturated fats and glutathione among them – can fight inflamation and help protect your body from heart disease, cancer, degenerative eye and brain diseases. Avocados also taste great and are easily integrated into any meal or even a smoothie. Add an avocado to
smoothies to add creamy texture and a powerful nutritional boost, or enjoy an avocado half as a nutritious "side" to any meal or add to soups as well. The possibilities are really endless.
Hass avocados have been found to be the most densely concentrated variety of the avocado fruit. They contain the highest content of lutein and zeaxanthin and other fat-soluble nutrients and have a long growing season here in Southern California. All avocados are terrific for the digestive system as they contain a good variety of both soluble and insoluble fibers.
Here is just a taste of one of the many recipes included in the Spring Forward Detox Program when you sign up:
Raw Avocado Electrolyte Soup:
2 large avocados
1 cup coconut water (you can also use a nut milk or filtered water)
juice of 1 lime (should yield about 4 tablespoons)
½ cup coriander leaves
¼ cup chives
1 shallot, minced
pinch of cayenne pepper (optional)
Cut open and pit avocados. Scoop out flesh, reserving a small portion of one half for garnish. Place all ingredients in a blender or food processor and blend on high until smooth. If the soup is too thick, add more coconut water until the desired consistency is reached (it should coat the back of a spoon, but not be solid). Pour into a large jar with a tight-fitting lid and chill in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour. Serve when cold. Garnish with avocado cubes and chives or coriander.

Who is it for?
This is a gentle, simple and grounded program appropriate for most people. It is allergy friendly and anti-inflammatory. This detox is designed for all types of eaters including raw, vegetarian, paleo and primal. This is a perfect detox for beginners too!
Why Detox?
Our bodies naturally detoxify everyday as part of a normal body process. Detoxification is one of the body's most basic automatic functions of eliminating and neutralizing toxins through the colon, liver, kidneys, lungs, lymph and skin. Unfortunately today, with the pollution found in the air, water and food we eat, our bodies have a hard time keeping up. Our chemicalized diet with too much animal protein, processed foods and sugars, too much saturated and trans fats, too much caffeine and alcohol radically changes our internal ecosystem.
Body systems and organs that were once capable of cleaning out unwanted substances are now completely over-loaded to the point where toxic material remains inside our tissues. Our bodies try to protect us from dangerous substances by setting it aside, surrounding it with mucous and fat so that it will not cause an imbalance or trigger an immune response. Can you believe that some people carry up to 15 extra pounds of waste? Wow!
Detoxification through special cleansing diets and plant based whole foods is the best way to assist your body's natural self-cleaning system. It is especially important for immune-compromised diseases like cancer, arthritis, diabetes, heart disease and chronic fatigue. However, even if your diet is good, a spring cleanse can revitalize your system and rid your body of harmful bacteria, viruses and parasites.
Do you experience any of the following signs of toxicity?
- Headaches
- Low energy or lack of vitality
- Food cravings or binges
- Constipation or digestive challenges
- Chronic Illness
- Eczema or other skin conditions
- Irritability or Moodiness
- Insomnia
- Bloating
- Dark circles under the eyes
- Chronic Yeast Infections
- Cancer or other degenerative disease
- Excess weight
What is it?

You can participate from anywhere on your own time!

*We do not provide the food for this program.
Here's What People are Saying About the Program:
The detox program was a way for me to jump into a lifestyle of healthy eating and get off the cycle of yo yo dieting. I have wanted to eliminate processed foods and cut out my cravings for breads, cheese and sweets without feeling deprived.
This detox not only showed me in detail, how to clean out my refrigerator and cabinets to eliminate unnecessary foods, but it gave me a detailed grocery list, including the spices to get my shelves fully stocked. Now, I can go shopping, replace my fresh veggies, fruits, and limited amounts of protein with ease. I feel amazing. I was sure I would crave breads, salty snacks or sweets….But, I do not…From the very first day, I never felt deprived or hungry. The fresh fruit smoothies, and the wonderful salads somehow have taken my cravings away. My new best friends for sweets are fresh coconut water over ice or an apple pie smoothie, when made ahead of time with chia seeds, the smoothie turns into pudding. I snack on fresh berries or veggies with hummus if I am hungry, I plan and make my food in the morning and have it ready to eat whenever my body asks for food. I feel like I am doing something good for myself and plan to continue eating this way as a lifestyle.
-Kathy, Encinitas
I really enjoyed it! I started at 211 lbs and this morning I am at 202.8. Since doing the Detox I have had more energy and able to do cardio every morning and resistance training M-F during my lunches. I feel amazing! I will most likely continue with the lemon elixir and throw in some smoothies and many more of the delicious recipes on a daily basis.
-David, San Diego
Before starting the Spring Forward Detox, my diet was inconsistent and out of balance I felt weighed down and bloated even though I wasn't eating vast quantities of food. Cravings for sugar laden foods was a daily battle, usually with the cravings winning. I ate well beyond the point of feeling full but didn't feel satisfied. Being on the Spring Forward Detox helped reset my food cravings. It is amazing how nourished and vital my body feels now that I am eating an amazing array of fresh whole foods. I've also learned to use new and unfamiliar ingredients like sun butter and almond milk. The shopping list proved very helpful in getting my pantry and fridge stocked with everything I needed and the meal plans are super easy to follow and delicious! My skin looks better, my waistline has slimmed down and I feel nourished and well cared for from the inside out! Thank you Drew for the gift of the Spring Forward Detox plan! Warm Regards, Lori
-Lori, San Diego
I decided to join the Spring Forward Detox Program because I wanted to give my body a healthy change and a break from unnecessary foods. Being anewbie with detox programs I thought it'd be difficult to give up processed carbs, caffeine and sugars for 2 weeks but it was quite easy. It helped that I was given a shopping list, several delicious recipes to follow (specially the morning smoothies!!) & the support from Drew's daily e-mails. I loved discovering new flavors with healthier ingredients to satisfy my hunger without feeling deprived. I was also very energetic and throughout the day & slept great at night. This program really helped me realize that taking charge of your health can be easy, fun, & delicious!! I would definitely recommend to anyone who wants to develop healthy habits & making a change that your body will appreciate.
-Marissa, San Diego
Thank you so much for inviting us to this program. I feel I got great results and I will look forward to see what you have in store for summer time. I have never tried a detox diet in my life. I signed up for this detox program for one purpose only; To rid all the toxins in my body from processed foods. Leaving this program I was hoping to start living a healthier lifestyle. I will tell you what, I got much more than I expected. I now have much more energy, I can focus better at work, I don't feel as sluggish as I usually did, I get many compliments about looking thinner, and I sleep like a baby at night. If you want any of these results I suggest you try this detox program. It only takes about two weeks from the pre-detox to post-detox. Now I feel completely re-energized in body and mind. I am now off the detox and I am planning on keeping a healthy diet.
-Randy, San Diego
I'm impressed with myself too…hahaha. But seriously this experience has been great so far and is helping me create new eating habits! I have never enjoyed eating this healthy before. A few flavors are a first to me and I'm learning that Tahini is my new best friend :)

What do you say, how about we do this together?
Spring Cleaning
It's amazing how nature always gives us what we need at each specific time of the year and if we listen to our bodies, they too will tell us what we need.
In the Summer, you have more cooling foods like cucumbers, tomatoes, watermelon, even chilies make you sweat which is a way for your body to cool itself down.
In the Fall and winter we are given more root vegetables, hard squash, and things that we cook to warm us up and for meat eaters, you may eat more animal products as your body instinctively requests to put on more fat to keep you warm in the winter.
After the winter has passed, what happens? The damp and warm weather of Spring bring more greens, grasses, berries and detoxifying foods. This is because, we've packed on extra fat to keep us warm in the Winter, fat holds toxins and since it's getting warmer, we no longer require the fat and we never desire excess toxins as it is. Dandelions are another detoxifying plant that never fails to pop up all over the place in the Spring time. Most of us look at them as annoying weeds that you can never get rid of, but they are super good for you and have been known to detoxify and assist in killing cancer cells. Dandelion greens are great to add to a salad or your favorite homemade juices. Find them at the Suzie's Farm booth at you local Farmers Market along with many other goodies.
You cannot mess with Mother nature and our primal instincts, so listen to both and start your Spring Cleaning this month to push out the excess build up from the winter and start fresh, renewed and clear to take on the coming warmer months.

Market Watch: Goat's Milk Fetaby Dana Angelo White in Farmers' Market Finds, July 20, 2013
Sometimes I go to the farmers' market in search of items that have nothing to do with produce. Local farmers often have other goodies like meats, cheeses, eggs, honey and baked goods to offer. On a recent trip to my favorite market I picked up a package of a profoundly delicious cheese: feta made from local goat's milk.
Originating in Greece, feta cheese has been made for centuries. Classically made with sheep's milk, some versions may also be a combination of both sheep and goat's milk. Newer versions of this cheese from countries other than Greece may also be made with cow's milk. Curds of the cheese are pressed together into blocks and stored in brine, which contributes to feta's unique tangy flavor.
Cheese lovers will also be happy to know that feta is naturally lower in calories. One ounce of feta contains 40 fewer calories and 3 fewer grams of fat than the same portion of cheddar.

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - U.S. Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner said first half U.S. growth will likely slow to about two percent because of high energy prices and shocks to the global economy, but the underlying trend is still improving.
Geithner, speaking at Dartmouth College in Hanover, New Hampshire, said many economists had anticipated growth in the 3-4 percent range in the first half of 2011.
"It's mostly lower because we had the combination of oil prices high, a catastrophic shock in Japan, terrible weather that pushed construction down, a big unanticipated slowdown in defense spending, a lot of concern about risk from Europe and a bit of tightening of policy in the most rapidly growing parts of the world," he said. "That's a lot of slowdown all at once."

Let us know when your receive great advice so we can thank our lawyers and point others with similar questions in the right direction.Got it!
Can I do this with a hand written will?
Yes, you can. However, I would avoid drafting a "holographic will" simply because there are additional legal steps that are involved to authenticate the will, that could make things more costly and time-consuming for your children. If you are not interested in speaking with an estate planning attorney, which would be contrary to my advice, you should instead execute a California statutory will. I have provided the link for you, below. Please ensure that you comply with the instructions.
This response is not intended, nor should it be construed as legal advice. Any information provided is for educational purposes only. To schedule an appointment for an attorney-client privileged consultation, contact me at 530-231-4949. The exchange of communications through Avvo.com and similar social media does not establish an attorney-client relationship with me or my office. Thank you.Ask a similar question
Yes, you CAN, but if you care at all whether your wishes and preferences are actually carried out and enforced you will want to be more careful. Lawyers provide much more than pieces of paper. For starters, they apply their knowledge to insure that your papers clearly say what you want an in the right form. Then, and this is particularly important for estate documents, the attorney presides over a "signing ceremony" that involves witnesses and a Notary. Why? Because you won't be around to explain anything or address challenges to the will. Witnesses, attorneys and notaries add important layers of confirmation that the will expresses your real intentions, that you were competent, and not under undue influence.

In addition a trust does more than distribute your assets on death. It is a way to take care of your life, and have someone to pay your bills and take care of you while you are living. You should discuss all of the estate planning issues with an attorney.Ask a similar question
I'll also add that planning for your incapacity is important too, and a will doesn't address that, so get yourself powers of attorney for health care and property as well.

A very good point, and something that do-it-yourselfers almost always miss, or mess up.
I agree with all of the previous answers but will add that a Will does not avoid the probate process. If you have assets other than real property that amount to 150,000 or more, you should be doing a trust. Also if you have an real property you should be doing a trust as well.Ask a similar question

Via the AP :
The New York City police commissioner says a man with a long history of impersonating law enforcement pretended to be a fire marshal, talked his way into a police station and made off with at least one weapon.
Commissioner Raymond Kelly says Ronald DeShields [above] took at least one police weapon from the 105th Precinct in Queens on Jan. 15. He later returned the weapon to a 90th Precinct gun buyback program and got $100 from the department.
He was charged with possessing stolen property. Police say he was also suspected of taking a second weapon missing from the same precinct; that gun has not been located.
11 Responses to "No Questions Asked" NYC Gun Buyback Asks Questions
It doesn't get any dumber than this, and I'm not referring to Mr. DeShields.
Nice to see the NYPD is on the ball. They're probably stretched too thinly, what with enforcing the smoking ban in bars and making sure restaurants aren't using dreaded transfats and all.
Did they advertise the buyback program as "no questions asked"? If they did, I don't think the charges will stick unless they nabbed him before he got to the "point-of-sale/buyback" location. Although I still think the public defender will have an easy time with getting Mr. DeShields acquitted of this charge. They would have to prosecute him based on surveillance video from the precinct and it would have to be clearly identifiable video for a conviction. I guess that's why the charge is for "possession" and not theft. I bet he walks. We need to follow up on this…
if it was no questions asked, how did they know who he was? why was there any paperwork?
The gun control people should be going after guy's like this criminal and pushing for long prison terms. If they used their time and effort to send criminals to jail and leave the law abiding gun owners alone, this country would be much better off.
Even if guns didn't exist Mr. DeShields here might have stolen a laptop from the precinct, then sold it to another precinct for 100 dollars. It didn't have to be a gun. (sarcasm included)
The precinct is also missing a box of donuts.
I thought this was pretty funny too.
he was found not guilty on oct 9 this year
an ex cop name Charles Castro was the person he got the gun from. that came out in court, but former nypd sgt Castro, whom ex wife is said to have had sex with mr deshields when he was a 17 year old Auxiliary cop in that same pct. the woman name is Carol , she was also a police officer that got fired from the nypd for nude photos in playboy with her nypd cloths on
it came out that he got the gun from ex nypd sgt name charles castro who mr deshields work security for. he thinks that he slep with his ex wife, whom was also a police officer that got fired from the nypd after she put nude photos of herself in her nypd cloths . its said that when he was a 17 year old Auxiliary cop in that same pct thats when it happen.

Road Trip! Destination: Brookville
Every winter, a camping area about an hour-and-a-half northeast of Pittsburgh becomes the temporary home to a group of people who aren't afraid to brave the elements in the name of art, expression and community.
Frostburn is a regional event that brings the essence of Burning Man — the annual celebration of music and art in the Black Rock Desert of Nevada — to Western Pennsylvania.
"A group of people in southwest Pennsylvania who have regularly been going to Burning Man for years wanted to bring the spirit of Burning Man back to Pittsburgh," says Kim Bellora of Highland Park, one of the event's organizers. "Burning Man has the heat, sun and sand — what better way to battle the elements than in the middle of winter?"
This year's event runs from Feb. 13 to 17 at Camp Kevin in Brookville. The event started in 2008 near Slippery Rock and was held for the first time in Brookville in 2013. It attracts about 500 people.
Figuring out unique ways to stay warm is half the fun, Bellora says.
"It's very fun seeing what people are about to come up with," she says.
For those looking to extend their exploration of Brookville beyond Frostburn, there are other attractions and activities, as well.
Rachel Weaver is a staff writer for Trib Total Media. She can be reached at 412-320-7948 or email@example.com.
Frostburn, a sanctioned Burning Man regional event, gives artists the opportunity to experiment with materials and themes inspired by winter. Participants organize music camps, dance parties, food offerings, story times and more.
Participants adhere to the same 10 principles of Burning Man and other regional burns: radical inclusion, acts of gifting, lack of commodification, self-reliance, self-expression, communal effort, civic responsibility, leaving no trace, participation and immediacy.
"What happens to you at a burn depends largely on what you bring to the event," the event's website reads. "At a burn, you are the entertainer! You are the artist! You are the performer! Bring an open mind, a willingness to try something new and a desire to 'share the warmth' with some of the most creative people on the planet!"
Frostburn is an all-volunteer, community-sponsored event. In addition to fires allowed at individual campsites, there are theme camps that provide heated spaces. Participants are encouraged to bring along sleeping bags rated to minus-20 degrees or better. They also can sleep in their RVs or cars.
The website offers a full "survival guide" along with tips and ideas for how to get the most out of the event.

Downtown Brookville
The town of Brookville was named a National Historic District in 1983, becoming one of Pennsylvania's first Main Street Projects. Many of the historic buildings have been preserved.
"I think some of the main features of this town is the general beauty of it," says Melanie Darrin, Brookville Area Chamber of Commerce executive director. "The homes are, for the most part, painted in historic colors and the downtown buildings are as well.
"Although we are a small town, there's much to find by the way of shopping. We have antique stores, a wonderful toy store with an extensive inventory, gift shops and great restaurants. We are a few minutes away from Cook Forest State Park where there is something for everyone."

Municipalities and hospitals intensified efforts nationwide Tuesday to prevent or minimize the impact of a possible outbreak of the deadly new flu from Mexico.
Local government officials said they are ready to ask for school closures, reduced corporate hours and stay-at-home curfews if a person infected with the new swine-avian-human flu virus shows up.
Yokohama set up a special task force Tuesday to deal with a potential outbreak and is looking to stockpile protective masks for distribution.
"As we expect to draw visitors to events commemorating the 150th anniversary of Yokohama port's opening to the outside world, we must prioritize the safety of people who will gather here," said Shuji Kobayashi, head of the task force.
At Yokohama port, quarantine officers said they are poised to board ships for inspections if crew members or passengers show such symptoms as coughing or fevers, although no ships from infected areas are scheduled to arrive at present.
Major transportation facilities are also gearing up for an outbreak. At Narita International Airport in Chiba Prefecture, many travelers were seen wearing masks.
"I'm worried. I'm taking a 1-year-old with me" to Florida to meet relatives, said Etsuko Matsushita, 59, from Fukuoka Prefecture, before departure.
Another traveler, a 67-year-old woman from Fukushima Prefecture who declined to give her name, said she brought about 10 masks for her and her husband's trip to the Czech Republic, saying, "I think airports are most dangerous in terms of infection."
Narita's quarantine office decided the same day to conduct onboard inspections of not only direct flights from Mexico, but also flights from the United States and Canada. Its officers appeared very busy, with one complaining of a lack of staff.

Thanks for the tip. Checked "nodetool ring" on all nodes and they all have a consistent view of the ring. We have had other problems like nodes crashing etc so anything could have happened, but we're sure we didnt issue a "nodetool move" command.
From: Tyler Hobbs [mailto:firstname.lastname@example.com]
OpsCenter just periodically calls describe_ring() on different nodes in the cluster, so that's how it's getting that information.
Maybe try running nodetool ring on each node in your cluster to make sure they all have the same view of the ring?

Soreness and tendinitis plague several ballplayers just before the regular season begins.
Michael Pineda, New York Yankees (Right Shoulder Tendinitis)
Josh Hamilton, Texas Rangers (Left Groin Tightness)

The regular season kicks off, but the Mariners have already suffered multiple casualties.
B.J. Upton, Tampa Bay Rays, (Lower Back Soreness)
Strains and sprains can last for more than a few weeks but usually heal just fine. When there is a collision between two diving fielders and soreness lingers, concern about a bone bruise in the spine rises. In severe cases, this trauma can cause small fractures, but usually the player is in a lot more pain than Upton appeared to be in. While the Rays do not believe Upton's injury will necessitate a long recovery period, they're refusing to nail down a timetable.

Tommy John surgery claims several more pitchers, and Joba Chamberlain suffers an extremely gruesome ankle dislocation.
Ryan Madson, Cincinnati Reds (Tommy John Surgery)
Madson signed a one-year deal with the Reds over the winter after his four-year deal with Philadelphia fell through. Madson's injury throws everything in flux for the Reds' pitching corps, but for now, Sean Marshall is the heir apparent as closer. General manager Walt Jocketty has not ruled moving Aroldis Chapman back into a bullpen role this year but insists nothing is set in stone. The only sure thing is that Madson will miss 2012 and will have a hard time convincing teams to sign him next winter as he completes his rehabilitation.

The Phillies are slammed by injuries to key players, and the results are in for Miguel Cabrera's busted eye socket.
Chase Utley, Philadelphia Phillies (Bilateral Knee Soreness)
The cartilage isn't the only issue, though. The tendon undergoes changes to the point it's not really tendon tissue any longer; it changes at the cellular level. In tendinosis, those changes lead to tendon weakening and make the tendon more prone to rupture. It's one of the reasons why there is an increased chance of Achilles tendon ruptures with cases of chronic Achilles tendinitis.

The Royals' bullpen suffers a couple of blows, and the pain around the rest of the league is plentiful.
Carlos Quentin, San Diego Padres (Right Knee Surgery)
The procedure is straightforward. The surgeon will remove the loose bodies and try to stitch the torn meniscus back together but will most likely have to trim the torn portion because the tissue is degenerated beyond repair. Standard recovery is four to six weeks, but it could vary if there are additional injuries not seen on the MRI. With the recovery expected to be four to six weeks, we should see Quentin back in mid- to late April. When Quentin returns to the outfield, his knee might flare up or swell.

The punches keep on coming for the Mets, while other players deal with various sprains, bruises, and soreness.
David Wright, New York Mets (Partial Rectus Abdominis Tear)
Wright's soreness lingered longer than expected, so he had an ultrasound-guided injection to help calm the inflammation. The third baseman feels like he should be back in time for Opening Day, but that might be overly optimistic when you consider his comps are Ryan Zimmerman (who needed surgery) and Kevin Slowey (who didn't). Both missed a little over two months' time because of their partial tears, but the range of a "partial tear" is quite large. It looks like Wright will be back before the two-month mark, but we need to keep the extended timeline in mind. Both hitting and fielding can aggravate the injury, so we will have to wait and see how he responds to those activities.

Sprains, soreness, and surgeries abound in the latest spring action.
Taylor Teagarden, Baltimore Orioles (Low Back Soreness)
The good news is that there has been no talk of surgery yet. The bad news is that there is still no definitive timeline for his recovery. Some are speculating he will be out a week or so while others are speculating it will be much longer. No one really knows until we get an accurate diagnosis.

David Robertson battles a staircase while other players nurse their respective wounds.
David Robertson, New York Yankees (Right Mid-Foot Sprain)
This combination of testing raises the concern for a Lisfranc injury, the same one that felled Chien-Ming Wang in 2008. The CT can provide a very detailed picture of that joint, including a 3-D reconstruction. The standing x-ray is the tip-off, though. The MRI reveals a mid-foot sprain in severe Lisfranc injuries, while the CT may or may not reveal a fracture in the area. The standing x-ray most likely won't show a fracture, but it will show if there is any increased space between the bones, indicative of instability in the area. When there is instability, there is a significant risk of severe long-term damage if the area does not heal through conservative measures or surgery. Without knowing the results of all of the tests, we cannot definitively say surgery is necessary.

The Mets' injury parade drags on, while the Brew Crew might lose an important hitter for the start of the season.
Ike Davis, New York Mets (Valley Fever)
Davis underwent a routine chest x-ray during his spring physical, but the results were determined to be abnormal. After consulting multiple pulmonary and infectious disease specialists, he was diagnosed with a mild form of valley fever. He is not on any medications, but he must try to avoid extreme fatigue. Conor Jackson also had valley fever, but Davis is expected to make a full recovery without missing any time.

What is commonly referred to as Sirsi is not just one system, but a series of servers and software packages that function together to provide Westchester Library System with an ILS (Integrated Library System). The ILS manages member library holdings, circulation functions such as check-in and check-out, various methods of patron notification, OPAC (Online Public Access Catalog) hosting, cataloging maintenance, acquisitions and reporting tools. Below you will see a breakdown of the various pieces and where these functions fold into them.
Westchester currently runs Sirsi Symphony 3.3 as its core server for the ILS. Symphony is the software that performs and manages all of the core functions of the ILS including circulation, cataloging, acquisitions, report scheduling and generation, API (Application Programming Interface) tools and more. The server that runs Symphony also runs Oracle. Oracle is the DBMS (Database Management System) which holds all of the data driven by Unicorn. Together Symphony and Oracle work to process all of the information that drives the business of the member libraries. WLS upgraded from Unicorn 3.1 to Symphony 3.3 in Fall 2009.
Workflows is an application that talk to Unicorn and provides the interface through which library staff conduct the business of the library. This application accesses the various functions of circulation, cataloging, acquisitions and reporting and present that data in ways that are relevant to the user.
Director's Station
Director's Station is a web-based utility that allows for fast and dynamic reports to be run. Unlike the Report module in Workflows, this tool is not intended for official statistical reporting. This is a tool that allows the director to view management level reports. These reports will allow directors to identify trends and patters within the business of their library. This will help libraries prepare to better anticipate and serve the needs of their public.
PLEASE NOTE: The current version of Director's Station is NOT compatible with Microsoft Internet Explorer 8 (IE8). Please do not upgrade to IE8 if you need to use Director's Station. Microsoft Internet Explorer 7(IE7) is supported.
SVA (Sirsi Voice Automation) is a system used for phone-based patron self-service and notification. There are two main components of SVA. The first is patron self-service. This part of the system allows a patron to call on the phone and hear if they have any available holds, any unpaid fines, what items they currently have checked out and opt to renew those materials. The second component phone-based notifications. In this function SVA receives a daily list of phone notifications that must be delivered to patrons. SVA takes that list and begins calling at 9AM every day to deliver to patrons information on available holds and overdue materials.
iBistro is the OPAC delivered with the Sirsi system. This is a web-based catalog designed for patron use. While it shows much of the information included in Workflows, it does not have the functions and tools that library staff need to do their work. iBistro also cannot see all of the items in the catalog. If an item has been shadowed (blocked from public view) it can only be seen in Workflows and will not display in the OPAC. In iBistro, a patron can search for materials, place holds and renew materials. IN WLS, iBistro is also complimented by a second search product called Muse.
