A new discussion board experience is coming this September!
After 10 years, we're upgrading our discussion board to a new modern system. The new forum will be easier to use, mobile-friendly and loaded with new features! We'll be taking all of the existing posts and users over to the new board, you won't have to do anything. If you have any questions, we've started a thread here to discuss.
The world of cancer fighting nutritional information seems very confusing and sometimes quite contradictory. There are articles contending that sugar fuels cancer growth
There are some areas where there is agreement, for example the benefit of antioxidants which can either be in tablet form or in juices. My husband has a juice drink (carrots, parsley,celery red pepper, beetroot ginger) in various combinations.
He also takes a build up drink for his severe weight loss, which is not in line with much of the thinking about cancer nutrition but makes him feel he is staving off further weight loss, which worries him greatly.
My husband takes food supplements including antioxidants, Co-enzyme Q10, IP6 AHCC, milk thistle and vitamin K. Since he left hospital on Dec 13th after an an operation to do a resection was aborted, he has had no treatment. He is feeling fine in himself although he does get tired.
With this particular cancer very little seems to work and when there are improvements they are often short lived. My feeling is that we will try anything that has been shown to have a positive effect, because noone can offer us anything that is certain to work. .
Hi ukmember
Do you have any references to support the usefulness of the food supplements ?
Could I ask where (in the UK I assume) you get AHCC ?
On a more general note, I recently asked the Bristol Centre for nutritional advice and one of the items in the leaflet they sent was to minimise dairy produce. This seems odd to me since at the hospital where I had my resection the dietician encouraged me to drink full fat milk and to eat cheese and I've been doing that ever since (nearly 6 months). Anyway I emailed the Bristol Centre asking for supportive evidence for their nutrition and supplements advice and what they sent me (called "Supportive Research for the Bristol Approach") said "There is unclear evidence at present whether the consumption of dairy products leads to a higher risk of cancer; however, there does seem to be a risk for hormone related cancers". So now I'm confused - if the evidence is unclear, why do they say we should minimise dairy produce?
Food Suypplements:
Anti oxidants
As it happens my husband had already given up mik products for several months before he became ill. He met prof Jane Plant on a train and she explained to him that she had fought off breast cancer on two occasions by significantly changing her diet.
She summed up the basis of her approach by saying 'Avoid the cow!' no dairy and no beef. She has written a book about cancer and nutrition. She is not the only one to say avoid dairy; the injunction to avoid dairy seems to be widespread.
I also had given up milk products since I often woke in the morining feeling nauseous and since I cut out the milk I don't have the sicknesses anymore. Not proof I know but I do feel better.
I ordered AHCC over the internet from the US. FYI my GP tells me that another of his cancer patients is also taking AHCC.
My husband is not having any chemo at the moment and I feel that his position is stabilised with the supplements he is taking. I may be completely wrong but blood tests of liver function a week ago were almost normal.
How did you find Britol. My husband and I found it a turning point in our approach to his illness although we have found it diffcult to keep up with the regime since getting back into the everyday routine of life.
Best wishes to you and to your daughter.
If you need any help or advice about various complementary ot integrated apporoaches, I have found Patricia Peat of Cancer Options UK very helpful.
I have seen that a couple of you are trying AHCC, have you noticed any difference since you started using it? I've been reading the book "Dismantling Cancer" and it says that among other things AHCC reduces nausea, increases appetite and decreases anxiety. I'm wondering if you are doing chemo along with taking AHCC and how are your side effects?
My husband is not having chemo and takes only the supplements mentioned above. I don't know if it is working or not, all I can say is that the last liver function tests were practically normal. I take the view if it definitely won't do harm and may do good, we will go for it.
I found out about AHCC via an internet search months ago. Problem was, I can't find it locally here in my city in Canada. I'm going to get back on that.
Meanwhile, what I did find was something called Flavin 7. It's been endorsed by the Hungarian Cancer Society. I give Mom 5 ml 3 times per day. The results are odd. The last CT scan showed the cancer has grown in her liver but it has not spread beyond that. Her blood results and liver enzymes are perfectly normal. So I think that's the Flavin 7. Nobody can understand (doctors, nurses, etc.) why her labwork is so good and yet the cancer is larger in her liver.
So there's something else to consider I guess.

Voice of Saturn Synthesizer and Ekdahl Moisterizer by thingstocome
Today I decided to record using my Voice of Saturn Synthesizer and Ekdahl Moisturizer. I really like both of these boutique boxes. I've already used both machines on various Horrorist songs.

In Dragonball, Saiyan is the warrior race, and "Super Saiyan" is
a super powerful, badass transformation that occurs when a Saiyan reaches a high level of power—indicated by their blond hair that sticks up.
Fantasy, you say! Well, just. But if it were real, it would look something like this—minus the white collared shirt. Magnificent hair pyrotechnics on display here.

Accommodation summary
|Via dei Baullari, 00186 Roma, Italy
|Property type
|Property ID
This Ancient Golden triangle comprises Piazza Navona, the Pantheon, Campo de'Fiori, the Jewish Quarter, the Riverside and the Piazza di Torre Argentina, so named by Johann Burchard (1445 - 1506), master of ceremonies of five popes from 1483, who owned the land in the area on the remains of the Theatre of Pompey and the Pantheon, one of the Ancient World's best preserved monuments. Also within walking distance is the oldest Jewish quarter of Europe. Established as a result of the Papal bull, by Pope Paul IV in 1555, today the Ghetto is a vibrant quarter packed with many shops, cafés and restaurants, including a number of Kosher establishments and incorporates the Via del Portico d'Ottavia, seat of the ancient Fish Market and boarding the Teatro Marcello, whose construction was planned by Julius Caesar with the intent to rival the Theatre of Pompey in Campo Marzio, inaugurated in 13 B.C.
The Piazza Navona is considered by many to be Rome's most beautiful Piazza. Built on the site of the 1st century A.D., Stadium of Domitian, and was transformed into the most celebrated example of Baroque Roman architecture during the pontificate of Innocent X, whose family palace, the Palazzo Pamphili, faced the piazza. It features important sculptural and architectural creations, such as the famous Fontana dei Quattro Fiumi or Fountain of the Four Rivers (1651) by Gian Lorenzo Bernini, topped by the Obelisk of Domitian, the church of Sant'Agnese in Agone by Francesco Borromini, and the aforementioned Pamphili palace, that accommodates the long gallery designed by Borromini and frescoed by Pietro da Cortona.
At the southwest end of the piazza is the ancient "speaking" statue of Pasquino. Erected in 1501, Romans would routinely leave lampooning political or derogatory social comments attached to the statue.
During its history, the piazza hosted theatrical events and from 1652 until 1866, when the festival was suppressed, it was flooded on every Saturday and Sunday in August in elaborate celebrations of the Pamphilj family. The pavement level was raised in the 19th century and the market was moved again in 1869 to the nearby Campo de' Fiori.
This is truly Rome's most characteristic and exciting area, with an uncompromising choice of monuments within walking distance. Shop at the daily open market of Campo de'Fiori or dine out in the Historic Jewish Quarter, walk to Piazza Navona, the Pantheon, the Trevi Fountain and the lively Trastevere Quarter which is just a five minutes across the foot bridge. Also close to the Historic Center's main transport hub in Largo Argentina, with express buses to Termini and tram service directly to the Trastevere station and on-going connections to the Airport.
Well serviced, there are also a number of supermarkets, gyms and shops nearby. Truly an excellent location and an oasis of quiet and beauty from which to explore Rome's multilayered historical district.
The apartment is situated in an excellently maintained 18th Century building, renovated and modified over the centuries to it's present state. The antique 18 foot doors open onto the inner atrium with a lovely deco fountain placed in the center of the courtyard. There are just three steps to the elevator which takes one to the apartment.

MORE than 2,500 irate drivers have made compensation claims for pothole damage, accidents and injuries on Worcestershire's roads - costing taxpayers £400,000.
Data for the last five years show how an average of 506 drivers a year are going to Worcestershire County Council to ask for money after incidents like dented cars, wrecked tyres or personal injuries on the roads network.
Since 2009 the council has had to pay out £393,449 in compensation - enough money to employ 10 new children's social workers or revamp a primary school.
Your Worcester News can also reveal how the number of reported road defects in Worcestershire has increased 34 per cent compared to five years ago.
The council insists it is happy with the findings and say the number of claims being settled have dropped drastically, going from a high of 260 in 2009 to 49 in 2013/14, the lowest in five years.
The yearly costs to taxpayers for compensation has also fallen steadily, and was £9,449 last year compared to a whopping £137,000 five years ago.
The findings come after repeated surveys have shown how the condition of roads in Worcestershire is among the public's biggest concern, ranking alongside the care of children.
The public reported 14,100 defects last year, up from 10,500 in 2009, with the council saying more people are using its online system.
The compensation claims are handled by an external insurance firm.
Councillor John Smith, cabinet member for highways and transportation, said: "Because more people are now reporting potholes and other defects we're more aware of it than ever before.
"That means we can get it logged quicker and get it looked at much faster, so that's helped us with these claims.
"We're also getting much better at getting more information to the insurance company, which means we are being more successful in defending claims.
"It's not as if we're not paying for genuine claims, we still do.
"The figures are good news for us as they clearly show improvements."
Among those to be refused compensation last year was 55-year-old builder Derek Jones, who forked out £165 to replace a tyre after going over a shocking pothole in Norton, near Worcester.
Mr Jones was driving along Church Lane when his black Kia Cee'd hit the hole, causing a burst front tyre on the passenger side and dislodging internal parts of the vehicle, meaning it had to be re-aligned at a garage.
He said: "They've since spent a load of money in Church Lane, to be fair, but in general I still think the roads are horrendous.
"I know one bloke who went over a pothole in Malvern in a BMW and it cost him £500 to repair the damage."

Los Altos United Methodist Church has been the top fundraising team for the annual Bay Area "Walk to End Alzheimer's" for the past 12 years.
The local team has raised more than $500,000 for the Alzheimer's Association for research, advocacy, education and caregiver support services.
Team captain Patty Kenny and church member Susan O'Neil, along with a small group of leaders, built a team of 110 walkers who braved inclement weather Sept. 21 to generate more than $60,000.
Along with fundraising, we are committed to education about this terrible disease. We understand that people with Alzheimer's and their caregivers are able to live a better quality of life with support and care. For example, holiday travel to visit family and friends can open eyes to cognitive and physical changes in a loved one. The Alzheimer's Association's national 24-hour helpline experienced a 13 percent rise in calls during the 2012 holiday season.
Learning the 10 warning signs can help family members gauge whether changes they see are normal or atypical. Many family members, in hindsight, have noticed changes sometimes years before a doctor diagnoses a person with dementia or Alzheimer's disease.
Signs to look for:
1. Memory loss that disrupts daily life.
2. Challenges in planning and solving problems.
3. Difficulty completing familiar tasks at home, work or leisure.
4. Confusion with time or place.
5. Trouble understanding visual images and spatial relationships.
6. New problems with words in speaking or writing.
7. Misplacing things and losing the ability to retrace steps.
8. Decreased or poor judgment.
9. Withdrawal from work or social activities.
10. Changes in mood or personality.
When persistent and consistent changes occur, it is time to call the doctor for a consultation. We all exhibit the above symptoms from time to time. It is only when a pattern that gets in the way of everyday life develops that a doctor should be consulted.
Early detection can play a key role in the quality of life for a person with dementia. There are treatments that can help a dementia sufferer maintain a level of independence for a long period of time. Support and knowledge of Alzheimer's can assist caregivers as they plan for and manage the disease. November is the ideal time to educate yourself – it's National Alzheimer's Disease Awareness Month as well as National Caregiver Month – and a wealth of resources are available.
Our mission at Los Altos United Methodist Church is "Touching Heaven, Changing Earth with Head, Heart and Hands." We are convinced that fighting dementia by supporting research and offering community education for those with dementia and their caregivers fulfills that sacred call.
For a complete list of the 10 warning signs, visit alz.org/alzheimers_disease_10_signs_of_alzheimers.asp or call our 24/7 helpline at (800) 272-3900.

In this techno-Pagan world, there are malignant spirits who take human form, and ordinary people who access pagan magic. Our heroine must help her cousin, who has upset a "Malignant One," while falling in love with an investigator specializing in demonic possession.
Like all great Sci-Fi writers, Pollack hits the realistic emotional core of fantastic circumstances.
Love story? Check. Battle between good and evil? Absolutely.

(COLORADO SPRINGS, COLO.) – The Junior World Team Open moved into quarterfinal round competition on Wednesday at the Grand Sierra Resort in Reno, Nev., and nine young boxers advanced to the medal rounds with victories on the second day of action. Male boxers in the light bantamweight, bantamweight and featherweight divisions took the ring with all of the victors earning spots in Thursday's semifinals.
Light bantamweight Shakur Stevenson (Newark, N.J.) won the lone light bantamweight contest of the night, taking a 17-11 decision over Bryan Lua (Madera, Calif.) in the opening bout of the session. Stevenson moves on to a semifinal bout with Ryan Garcia (Adelanto, Calif.) on Thursday.
In bantamweight competition, Isidro Ochoa (Fresno, Calif.) and Adolfo Alanis (Edinburg, Texas) each claimed their second victory of the tournament on Wednesday evening. Ochoa defeated Dominic Serna (Indio, Calif.) while Alanis earned a win over hometown boxer Humberto Guillen, Jr. (Reno, Nev.). In Thursday's action, Ochoa will face Brandon Vega (Cleveland, Ohio) and Alanis will battle Devin Haney (Las Vegas, Nev.) for a berth in the finals.
The featherweight class closed the night's tournament competition with four quarterfinal contests on Wednesday. Two California boxers – Xavier Martinez (Sacramento, Calif.) and Garrett Rincon (Irvine, Calif.) moved on to the semifinals along with hometown competitor Mario Martinez (Sparks, Nev.) and Ohio native Michael Nelson (Mansfield, Ohio).

I bought this pin in France in 1990. The back is stamped "Drago Paris Nice" and the address of 3 R. de Romainville. I found an obscure reference on the internet that showed that address dates to the mid-1950s, which would put this pin in the category of -- what, the Korean War, right? Does anyone know what the pin refers to or is otherwise about?

Middle Village-based autism advocacy group Play4Autism hosted a fair on Saturday, August 31 to spread awareness of the disorder and provide a day of fun for children.
The event, Kidz into Action Let's Play Day, gave children a chance to ride bouncy rides, do arts and crafts, get their faces painted and eat lots of snacks, including cotton candy and popcorn, at St. Margaret's Church. Retailer Sports Authority donated equipment to the group, allowing children to play hockey, basketball and soccer inside the church's gym. There was also various party games and live music spun by a DJ.
"You definitely have to get kids active," said Maspeth resident Tina Frodella. "I think that some kids spend way too much time with TV and the computer."

This place was a massive assortment of the unwanted. Elderly, poor, deformity, pedifiles, just any type of person you can think of that didn't fit the mold in the later 1800's and early 1900's. It wasn't until the 60's that they finally stopped housing people that weren't actually mentally insane. I've spent a lot of time researching the grounds and few remaining buildings and have spoken wiht many of the dead there. This place astounds me and saddens me at the same time.There were so many horrors there that people suffered. If the staff didn't abuse you then likely another patient would. So much suffering and it's stained the land. The evidence I've gotten there is absolutely remarkable and undeniable. I often gets names of the dead, asking me to pray for them. If I ever hear the name Sadie or Sudie I'll let you know.

Vernon's New Year's baby makes her debut
It was close as two expectant moms battled through labour pains, but little Aberley Jean Mcdougall took the lead as the North Okanagan's first baby of 2013.
Born to first-time parents Kristy Obando-Ortiz and Shane Mcdougall, Aberley was born at 4:05 p.m. Tuesday, weighing just five pounds and 15 ounces.
The little bundle of joy, complete with a full head of hair, was a bit of a surprise to her parents, who weren't expecting her until today.
"I forgot it was New Year's until I turned the news on and saw the fireworks," said 34-year-old Shane.
While the Vernon couple wasn't expecting it, others were cheering for them to deliver the first baby of 2013.
"Everyone was rooting for that," said 30-year-old Kristy. "Everyone was saying it was going to be a New Year's baby."
But they had some competition.
According to Kristy and Shane, the hospital staff informed them that another expectant mom was also going through labour.
"They were in labour at the same time," said Shane.
"They (staff) kept telling us, you're head-to-head," said Kristy, who went through 34 hours of labour, the last nine of which were hard labour, before a caesarean delivery helped bring her little girl into the world.
The new family was awarded another special delivery Wednesday. An annual tradition for the VJH Auxiliary is to award the first baby of the year with a basket of hand-made blankets, bonnets and booties, as well as flowers and other items donated from local businesses.
It was a special delivery for auxiliary member Nell McInnes.
"It's actually my birthday...but I wasn't the New Year's baby," who was honoured to present "sweet" little Aberley and her family with the gifts alongside auxiliary member Dixie Mackie.
Aberley is a granddaughter to Gladys Ortiz of New York, Janet and Regan Weed of Vernon and Terry and Louise Mcdougall of Chilliwack.
"It's our first granddaughter," beamed Janet, who is already a grandma to her grandsons but is looking forward to having a baby girl in their lives. "I've already been out shopping, it's like a sea of pink."
Aberley is not only the first baby of the North Okanagan, in fact she beat out Kelowna's baby, who wasn't born until 7:15 p.m. Tuesday. But B.C.'s very first baby of the year was born in Kamloops to a Merritt couple at 12:02 a.m.

OAKLAND — NCAA president Mark Emmert is set to testify Thursday morning in federal court here, the first time he will be forced to defend under oath the organization's ban on compensating student-athletes for playing major college sports such as football and basketball.
Emmert will be a key witness in an ongoing trial involving former Division I college football and basketball players who are challenging the NCAA's policy, arguing it violates federal antitrust laws.
The trial is reaching the end of its second week before Chief U.S. District Judge Claudia Wilken, who is hearing the class-action case without a jury.
The judge has heard from three former college stars, including lead plaintiff Ed O'Bannon, a former UCLA basketball player, as well as a parade of expert witnesses who have explored the multibillion-dollar college sports landscape. The players argue that beyond their scholarships they should be entitled to a share of that revenue, particularly from lucrative television broadcast rights.
Emmert has been a strong defender of the NCAA's rules for student athletes.

Coach (COH) is an intriguing company. It has a very strong management team, a rock-solid business franchise and favorable long-term outlook, yet it sells at a reasonable valuation.
Its stock lagged the market in 2012, declining 9% despite growing earnings. It has many of the attributes we look for and like, but it also presents some significant near-term issues, both macro and company-specific, that lead us to recommend waiting and watching.
The consumer spending ripple effect from the uncertainty posed by the fiscal cliff is a big concern, as exemplified by sluggish spending during the holiday season. Consumers, in particular higher-end consumers, seem to have been hesitant to spend, because of uncertainty concerning the full spectrum of tax exposure: tax rates, vulnerability to the Alternative Minimum Tax, dividends, capital gains, etc.
Although the fiscal cliff has been averted, another reason to wait on Coach is that there might be some short-term spillover impact on consumer behavior. Many consumers are likely to question the rationale for buying $300 to $500 leather handbags and wallets in the face of the uncertainty and lack of confidence that issues such as the fiscal cliff evince.
In addition, although taxes did not go up in a draconian manner, they did increase for higher-income families, and the Social Security tax increase on the first $113,700 of earnings will leave less money in consumers' pockets. Also, the 3.8% health care tax on investment income and capital gains might make people feel less wealthy. While we are confident that the U.S. economy will get through this situation, it might cause a temporary slowdown in spending on luxury items.
There are also more fundamental reasons to hang back. The company probably had a difficult Christmas season. It also appears that Michael Kors (KORS) is discounting some products significantly in order to move unsold merchandise, and this is likely to hurt Coach in the short term.
While these issues should work themselves out during 2013, we do believe there could be shorter-term stock price pressure. We could see a sub-$50 share price, compared with the current area of around $55. A mid to higher $40s share price could make Coach an attractive investment opportunity, offering a great point of entry and the likelihood of comforting clarity as 2013 unfolds.
Having expressed our reservations, we reiterate our admiration for the company, especially its strong business franchise, continued growth opportunities and attractive valuation level. Importantly, Coach is a manufacturer as well as a retailer. The result has been consistent 75% gross margins and a 35%-plus return on equity.
The company continues to gain global market share. Management and most analysts believe that earnings can grow double digits for another five years with continued North American store growth, a growing Asian presence, particularly in China, and a growing men's leather goods product line. Lastly, Coach's valuation level at 12x to 13x next year's earnings would be at the bottom end of its historical valuation level of 17x to 20x earnings.
Coach's franchise also has less overall risk than most consumer retail businesses. Coach owns its brand and controls all new product introductions -- this is critical. In addition, customers have high brand loyalty to Coach products, and this has resulted in a large number of repeat customers.
Lastly, customers have not shifted their purchasing decisions toward Internet retailing when buying luxury leather handbags and wallets, a practice which has compressed margins for many firms. Customers seem to prefer to touch and see the products in person before making an expensive fashion luxury purchase, and therefore they continue to visit and purchase products at the store. In addition, if purchases ultimately migrate toward the Internet, Coach would most likely still be the go-to product to buy.
Finally, management and Coach's board have a very shareholder-oriented mindset. Virtually all free cash flow of $700 million to $800 million per year, amounting to 5% of Coach's capitalization, is projected to be returned to shareholders through stock repurchases and dividends. The company can afford to do this because it has a net cash surplus of nearly $1 billion.
We believe that Coach will be worth the wait. The patient investor is likely to do quite well buying the stock, eventually.

WHAT: The Art Alert app ($2.99 intro price for iPhone, iPad) gives you directions, practical information and photos of representative works of art for more than 500 art museums around the globe. Art Alert is the companion app to the award-winning Art Authority app, a comprehensive and educational art app that houses nearly 60,000 works of art.
HITS: You can type in a city such as Sydney, Tokyo or Santa Barbara and start perusing works from their museums' collections. That's a great help for people who have time to visit only one museum but have a handful to choose from.
MISSES: There wasn't a decent starting point or home page to return to once you were inside the app. You had two choices: search by map or by an alphabetical list of museums. I would love to have searched by periods or styles of art. Also, some of the larger art museums — the Louvre, the Getty — have their own apps that are more in-depth.

Last year, more than 1,000 head of cattle were stolen from California farms and ranches, and a new bill on its way to the state senate hopes to crackdown on these thefts.
According to the Capital Press, Republican Assemblyman – and rancher – Frank Bigelow introduced Assembly Bill 924 in an effort to increase penalties for livestock theft. The bill bases penalties on the value of stolen livestock and uses the fines to help fund the state's efforts to investigate livestock thefts.
State lawmakers did water-down Bigelow's bill, however, by removing a provision that would have allowed prosecutors to seek jail time for repeat offenders.
Even without potential jail time, Justin Oldfield, the California Cattlemen's Association Vice President of Government Relations, believes that the bill still "does do something very beneficial."
"The Bureau of Livestock Identification is fee-based," he said. "This would be an additional resource they can use. Even if it's only $50,000 a year, that's still money in their pockets for them to go out and investigate cases of theft. Ultimately the bureau works with law enforcement on this stuff."
USA Today reports that cattle theft is increasing a economic woes and livestock prices rise. The problems aren't confined to California – thefts have been reported across the country. Recently five cattle rustlers were arrested and charged in Louisiana. In Alabama, the state's cattlemen's association is offering $1,000 for information leading to the arrest of those responsible for stealing nearly 50 head of cattle.

In the months before elections, members of the University of Colorado community occasionally receive e-mails from political candidates, including members of the Board of Regents. Because some of you have inquired whether these e-mail communications are appropriate, I asked the University's legal counsel to advise me on this issue.
Our counsel has informed me that these e-mails are not illegal because University of Colorado e-mail addresses are generally public, and are published in publicly available directories. Consequently, political campaigns may identify those e-mails and send communications without using any University of Colorado information technology services.
The University of Colorado does not provide any political candidate with your e-mail addresses for campaign communications, nor do we endorse any political candidates or campaigns. You should feel free to support or not support any political candidates or campaigns as you see fit.
Because of limitations upon the use of University resources for political purposes, however, you should refrain from using University of Colorado e-mail accounts to make or forward any candidate or campaign-related message. Nor should you use University of Colorado information technology resources to make any financial contributions to political candidates or campaigns.
If you have any additional questions, please direct them to University Counsel Patrick O'Rourke at email@example.com.
Thank you for your consideration of this information.

BAKER COUNTY, Fla. - A corrections officer is accused of having sex with a female inmate, according to the Baker County Sheriff's Office.
Tarrece Givens, 27, was arrested Monday on a charge of sexual battery on a person over 12 years of age by a correctional officer.
Givens began employment with the Sheriff's Office Detention Center on Sept. 30, 2011.
The complaint alleges that he was involved in the performance of a sex act with a female inmate housed at the Baker County Detention Center while on duty Jan. 29. Investigators said there are no indications or allegations that force was used, and therefore no injuries have been reported.
No other information was released.

It's crunch time for Washington lawmakers as the deadline to pass a five-year farm bill by the end of the year quickly nears.
As one congressional aide said to The Hill, this week is "pivotal."
Passing the farm bill at this point will likely require it to be part of the fiscal cliff deal, but first the legislative agricultural committees must hammer out their differences on two major issues facing the farm bill – food stamps and commodity subsidies.
Despite the limited time period, many are hopeful that the pressure to get the farm bill passed in the lame-duck session will push both sides to compromise.
"Clock is ticking. We don't have the much time left," one source told The Hill.
If all efforts to pass a farm bill fail, House leaders are expected to try to pass a simple extension of the 2008 Farm Bill or extend dairy and livestock programs. However, Senate Agriculture Committee Chairman Debbie Stabenow, D-Mich., has promised to fight a limited extension. Read more from The Hill.
Negotiators from both the House and Senate have placed blame on each other for the impasse, according to a Reuters report available here.
The 2008 Farm Bill expired on Sept. 30, and the delay in Congressional action has stirred uncertainty among farmers and ranchers who continue to battle high feed costs, drought and other crucial issues. In California, 100 dairies are expected to close this year, and a hotline has been set up to help the state's dairy farmers deal with the stresses attributed to this year's struggles.
Farm bill progress is painfully close for producers. In late October, at the annual meeting of the National Milk Producers Federation, NMPF CEO Jerry Kozak used a football analogy:
"...we're not just in the red zone, we're first and goal," Kozak said during the meeting. "But great field position, even with the momentum that comes with a long drive, is not the same thing as putting points on the board. All our hard work, all of our compromises and meticulous planning â none of it matters unless we can finish the job."
Read 'We're first and goal' with the Farm Bill, says NMPF.
As Bob Stallman, president of the American Farm Bureau Federation, said in a recent commentary, the aftermath of Congress failing to agree on the farm bill will stretch far beyond agriculture and "slice" through rural America.
"If Congress doesn't act by the end of the year, automatic, across-the-board government cuts will kick in, affecting more than 1,000 federal programs, many of which will impact agriculture," he wrote. For example, all commodity and many conservation programs would be cut by 7.6 percent next year. And agricultural research, Extension activities, food safety and rural economic development programs are just a few others that would be cut by 8.2 percent in 2013. Crop insurance would survive the first year, but would likely face cuts in year two."

Chicken Piccata with Fried Capers
When Jake and I made this again recently to update the photos, I was tempted to use a lot more capers than the recipe called for! I restrained myself, but if you love capers like I do, go ahead and use a bit more.
Capers are not berries, but the unopened green flower buds of the Capparis spinosa. They have an astringent sharp flavor, and are used a lot in Mediterranean cooking. Capers must be picked by hand, which makes them expensive. They're sold pickled or salted, and both types are often rinsed. Read more about how to use capers at The Perfect Pantry, where Lydia does such a great job of helping us learn about the ingredients we're using.
(Chicken Piccata with Fried Capers was updated with better photos and step-by-step instructions in March 2016.)
If you want to skip the photos below and watch a video instead, here is a video of how to make this recipe. See more recipe videos on My You Tube Channel.
Trim chicken breasts and cut in half to make two same-size pieces; then pound with a meat mallet (or something heavy) to make 1/2 inch thick cutlers. Season the chicken with salt, pepper, and poultry seasoning. Chop the parsley and garlic, and rinse the capers and pat dry.
Heat the olive oil in frying pan, add capers and cook until they open slightly and crisp a bit, about 90 seconds. Transfer capers to a paper towel and add chicken to the pan. Cook chicken over medium-high heat until it's nicely browned on both sides and cooked through, then transfer to a plate. (You can cover them to keep warm if you prefer.) While chicken cooks get the chicken stock, butter, and lemon juice measured and ready to go.
Add garlic to the pan and cook about 30 seconds. Then add the stock and scrape to remove all the browned bits, cooking a few minutes until the stock is slightly reduced. Stir in the lemon juice (with sweetener if desired), then turn off the heat and add the butter, stirring until it's melted into the sauce. Add half the capers and all the parsley to the sauce.
Pour sauce over the chicken, then garnish with the rest of the capers and parsley and serve hot, with extra lemon to squeeze on at the table please! This would be great with Roasted Asparagus with Garlic and The Best Pureed Cauliflower with Garlic, Parmesan, and Goat Cheese for a low-carb meal.
And just for historical purposes, here's the original photo of this recipe which isn't bad at all for those days!
Chicken Piccata with Fried Capers
(Makes 2-3 servings, but could easily be doubled if you have a larger pan. Recipe adapted slightly from Fine Cooking Annual.)
2 or 3 large boneless, skinless chicken breasts
2 T nonpareil capers (or a little more if you love capers as much as I do)
2 T olive oil
salt and pepper to season chicken
1/2 tsp. poultry seasoning (optional)
1-2 tsp. finely minced fresh garlic
1/2 cup homemade chicken stock (or use canned chicken broth, but be sure it's low sodium)
2 T fresh lemon juice
1/2 tsp. sweetener of your choice (optional; if you like lemon you probably don't need any sweetener)
1-2 T butter, cut up into several pieces
1 T chopped fresh parsley
Rinse the capers and pat dry with paper towels. In a 12-inch nonstick frying pan, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. (I used my Green Pan, which worked well for this recipe.) When oil is hot, add capers and fry until they open slightly and crisp a little, took 60-90 seconds for me. Remove pan from heat and use a spoon to transfer capers to paper towel, letting the oil drip back into pan.
Get oil hot again, then saute chicken on top side until nicely browned, about 3-4 minutes. Turn over and cook on other side until chicken is done, probably only 1-2 minutes on the second side. Arrange chicken on serving dish with the most browned side facing up. (You can cover them to keep warm if you want, but I didn't and they were fine.)
While chicken browns, measure out chicken stock, garlic, butter, and lemon juice (plus sweetener if using) so they're ready. Add garlic to hot pan and saute 15-30 seconds. Add chicken stock, and scrape pan to dissolve browned bits. Cook until stock is reduced by half, about 2 minutes. Stir in lemon juice (and sweetener if using), then turn off heat and add butter, stirring until butter is melted. Add half of capers and parsley to sauce, then pour sauce over chicken, garnishing with remaining capers.
Low-Carb Diet / Low-Glycemic Diet / South Beach Diet Suggestions:
This recipe which doesn't have any flour is great for low-carb or low-glycemic diet plans. Butter isn't recommended for the South Beach Diet, but I think the small amount of butter here is important for flavor. I would eat this for any phase of the South Beach Diet.

Nelson Mandela mural appears in South Woodchester
12:02pm Saturday 4th January 2014
By Chris Warne
12:02pm Saturday 4th January 2014
By Chris Warne
A TALENTED graffiti artist has spray-painted a black and white mural depicting the late South African leader Nelson Mandela under a bridge in South Woodchester.
The impressive monochrome portrait appears to have been created as a tribute to the anti-apartheid activist and former ANC president who passed away early last month.
Located underneath the road bridge at the Nailsworth end of South Woodchester, the vivid artwork portrays an elderly and thoughtful looking Mr Mandela, whose silhouette radiates out from the surrounding darkness.
It was spotted by SNJ reader Roger Poulton, 76, who likened the anonymous artist's work to the famous stencils produced by Banksy, the widely celebrated and critically acclaimed Bristol-born graffitist.
Mr Poulton, who lives in South Woodchester, first saw the mural on Christmas Day whilst he was out walking with his wife Barbara.
He is adamant that the recently spray-painted portrait of Mr Mandela deserves to be recognised as art, not graffiti, and hopes it will be allowed to remain in place.
"It is really an artwork of great merit," he said. "How the artist has done it with a couple of cans of spray-paint in damp, cold, windy conditions I just don't know. The man is little short of a genius.
"Most people of my age, I'm in my late 70s now, will tend to look at it with a bit of disdain but this picture is inspired. It really is staggering."
Mr Poulton, who has seen a police community support officer inspecting the work, said he did not know the identity of the artist, but he hoped he would not get in trouble.
"I greatly admire him and you have got to be sympathetic to the council but I think it would be a shame if it was removed. It is off the beaten track and in my opinion I actually think it does a lot to enhance the concrete."
Dozens of people in Stroud signed books of condolence in the wake of Mr Mandela's death last month and a musical tribute was also held in the town to commemorate the life of the 1993 Nobel-peace prize winner.
Mr Poulton believes the latest artistic effort to mark the passing of Mr Mandela is a fitting tribute to the iconic leader who is widely credited with averting a civil war in South Africa after the overthrow of the apartheid system.
"Nelson Mandela stood up in those days of prejudice," he said. "Despite all the war, misery, and suffering going on in this sad world, there is a man who had suffered more than most and he was still able to forgive his oppressors.
"It just goes to show the measure of the man. He stood out like an absolute beacon."

Big Data Means Competitive Advantage
Big data—the use of data to extract business value—is a phenomenon that is here to stay. Garth Gibson, Panasas co-founder and CTO, describes how big data drives competitive advantage for those organizations that use their data to fuel their design and discovery efforts. He points out that while big data has traditionally been the backbone of discovery in the national laboratories, it is now spreading to commercial environments in the energy, science, finance, and manufacturing fields, and that what is HPC today will be mainstream technology in short order.

Clean energy laws will certainly raise taxes
The article on the effect of California's clean energy goals on gas and electric bills consumers will pay cited a Little Hoover Commission report discussing the possibility of higher rates.
It's not a possibility, it's a sure thing. Clean energy is more expensive. Otherwise, state mandates would not be needed to force utilities to buy it. PG&E passes those higher costs on to all of us.
I'm not comforted by the PUC's Energy Division projection that rates will go up only 2 percent to 3 percent a year.
Why? We already pay sky-high rates. Since late 2008, natural gas prices have fallen by about half while my gas and electric rates are both higher than they were four years ago.
Californians are already paying dearly for high cost wind and solar energy. It would be nice if the politicians and regulators gave us a complete and honest assessment of what state policies cost us.

Closing oyster farm is a major victory
I rejoiced to read that Ken Salazar decided to keep faith with Congress and close the Point Reyes oyster farm, allowing the marine sanctuary to proceed. It's wonderful news.
But, the salmon are still endangered by our willingness to destroy their habitat in order to pump water to dry and desert areas.
Farmers, industries and people who want to live in year-round sunshine keep up the pressure to get more and more fresh water from the Delta area. And there's pressure from all of us to keep in place, or even expand, the hydroelectric dam system, which produces most of our electricity. People vs. fish is a lot harder battle.
Similarly, mammals — from tiny voles (smaller than a mouse) to magnificent wolves and grizzly bears — are endangered by our desire to move into their habitat and use it for our purposes.
Thank you for keeping us informed about these life-and-death struggles in our waters and in our wilderness backyards. An informed people can find solutions where our current wisdom sees only impossibility and eventual catastrophe.

If we keep printing money, we will lose
Many in the financial media would have us believe the "fiscal cliff" is a set of spending programs and tax breaks that if left to expire, will cause unemployment to soar, growth to diminish, and the probability of a severe recession to rise — among other bad things. With this understanding, the fix to the problem is relatively straightforward — after congressional squabbles, extend the tax cuts and continue the spending programs. Surely kicking the can once more will work out just fine.
Or will it? The problem with this misunderstanding of the "fiscal cliff" is that printing more money to cover larger deficits and the interest on an increasing $16 trillion debt (the Fed "buys" almost all Treasury paper, not the Chinese), is that at some point, the can hits the proverbial wall with nasty results — most likely hyperinflation and a debauched (worthless) currency.
Neither the Fed nor anyone else knows where that point is, but if it arrives, a mathematical certainty with continued money printing, we will all be very big losers.

Bring offshore jobs back here
I am referring to the tragic garment factory fire in Bangladesh that resulted in the death of more than 100 workers.
I can think of at least one very economy-boosting, patriotic solution to preventing deadly factory fires in offshore textile companies producing goods for U.S. companies: Bring the jobs back to the United States.

Stealing petroglyphs an insensitive crime
It is shameful that someone stole four American Indian petroglyphs from a sacred site near the Southern California city of Bishop.
The petroglyphs were created by American Indians more than 3,500 years ago. They carved pictures of hunters, deer and other animals, as well as geometric shapes, into a long escarpment. The petroglyphs were hacked from lava cliffs in the eastern Sierra.
Whoever did this showed no respect to the religious rights of American Indians who use the petroglyphs for both spiritual and historical connection.

The European Union, traditionally a huge wheat exporter, may import more U.S. wheat in coming months because of low U.S. prices, traders and analysts said this week.
"U.S. wheat prices have dropped so low that more sales to the EU are on the cards in the near future," one trader said. "It may sound like selling sand to Abu Dhabi but if the price is attractive U.S. wheat will be imported."
Traders said U.S. soft red winter wheat for February shipment from the U.S. Gulf is currently priced around $315 tonne fob, way under French wheat at around $342 a tonne fob Rouen and German wheat at $361 a tonne fob Hamburg.
"High feed wheat prices, especially in Germany, are likely to generate more interest in wheat from the U.S. and possibly South America," one German trader said.
A poor EU maize harvest in summer 2012 coupled with the decline of grain exports from Ukraine and Russia following their poor crops means animal feed wheat costs more than bread wheat in parts of the EU.
Feed wheat for February delivery is above Hamburg milling wheat at 270 euros ($363) a tonne.
The EU regulates wheat imports but licences to import a hefty 471,000 tonnes of U.S. wheat are still available in the annual reduced-tariff grain quota, traders said.
The EU awarded just over 100,000 tonnes of U.S. wheat imports in the first two rounds of the annual reduced-tariff grain quota in early January. But no U.S. wheat was sought in the third round last week.
Low Black Sea wheat exports, notably from Ukraine which usually covers much of the EU's feed wheat import needs, means forecasts are still for an overall fall in EU wheat imports this season.
French analysts Strategie Grains forecasts EU wheat imports of 4.2 million tonnes in the current 2012/13 season against 5.4 million in 2011/12. This includes a forecast rise in U.S. imports to 1.0 million tonnes from 936,000 tonnes and a fall in Ukrainian imports to 1.1 million tonnes from 1.8 million tonnes.
"The highly attractive price configuration for U.S. wheat which has developed in the past few weeks could cause observers to raise their EU import forecasts," a trader said. "British imports could be much higher than current forecasts after the terrible UK harvest in 2012."
One European trading house now forecasts British wheat imports from the EU and elsewhere this season at over 2.5 million tonnes, Saudi Arabia is forecast by analysts BMI to import 2.3 million tonnes this season.
"Most of the British imports are likely to come from inside the EU but some 317,000 tonnes of EU import wheat licences have been granted to Britain so it looks like third country imports to Britain could be more than expected," a trader said. "I think the British will revise their wheat import forecasts in the near future."
Analysts forecast a sharp rise in EU maize imports this season after a poor 2012 harvest. Strategie Grains expects maize imports of 11.6 million tonnes against 6.3 million last season, the U.S. Department of Agriculture forecasts 8 million tonnes.
EU maize imports licences have soared to 6.0 million tonnes between July 2012 and last week against 2.9 million tonnes this time a year ago.
"Ukraine is viewed as the most likely origin as their supplies are still available and have the least problems with GMOs (genetically modified organisms) but I would also expect large corn imports from Brazil and Argentina when their new corn crops gather speed in early 2013," a trader said.
Britain has seen a sharp rise in maize imports from outside the European Union with 167,141 tonnes imported since July 1, more than double the volume in the same year-ago period.
British dealers said the early season maize imports were from Ukraine although buyers may switch to South America later in the season.
Maize has been cheaper that feed wheat for most of the year, one British dealer said, adding most of the maize so far had been bought by the livestock industry in Northern Ireland.
Italy's maize imports have also risen strongly in recent months, said an official at Italian national cereals association Anacer.
"Maize imports into Italy are rising because Italian production is not sufficient," he said. "We had a small harvest and so there is a need to import from abroad."
"We also had problems with maize quality, all across Europe. So they (consumers) are importing more from non-EU countries." (Additional reporting by Gus Trompiz in Paris, Nigel Hunt in London and Catherine Hornby in Rome; editing by James Jukwey)

Lots of silly season rumors at Speedtv.com and around....
RHR's contract is up and Andretti wants to resign him... but Penske has serious interest too. Rahal as well.
Pagenaud was looked at as well by Penske but has an iron clad contract with Schmidt.
Briscoe could be out at Penske... or not. Unlike past years where Briscoe waited on Penske to make a decision on his future, this year he (or representative(s)) have already been actively seeing what offers might be out there for him. B.Rahal's team has supposedly shown interest as has Ganassi with Briscoe filling G.Rahal's current seat. (This would be Briscoe's 2nd Ganassi stint... altho G2 and not TGR this time).
Rahal to Rahal is looking like a done deal.
That means there's a chance both Rahal and Briscoe could end up teammates at RLL which then likely makes Sato the odd man out (assuming RLL doesn't field 3 cars)
Rubens is reported likely to leave KV and Schmidt is a potential destination.
Kanaan appears to be secure at KV but Visio is contemplating starting his own team.

Posen Foundation Speakers' Lab: Is Jewish Education Broken?
As enrollment declines in liberal Jewish schools, it is important to ask: is liberal Jewish education relevant to today's students? In the 1920s, American Jewish educators revolutionized liberal Jewish education by adopting the American school model. Previously, Jewish education was a chaotic state of kheyders and Talmud Torahs with undefined curricula and rote learning. But today, many think it is time for a new approach. As the next generation of American Jews redefines 21st century Jewish life, scholars and educators worry that Jewish schools are failing to meet the needs of today's students.
Some scholars, among them, Benjamin Jacobs, NYU, think it is time for a progressive curriculum. In contrast, Zvi Bekerman, Director of the Melton Centre for Jewish Education, encourages schools to consider community centered educational models. Which models are most effective for 21st century Jewish life? How do teachers and administrators adapt to the changing needs of today's students? Join the discussion with five leading scholars to debate new visions, models and curricula for American Jewish education.
Moderated by Bethamie Horowitz, research assistant professor, New York University, speakers include:
Presented by the Speakers' Lab, Posen Foundation and co-sponsored by The New School for Public Engagement, Jewish Cultural Studies Program, Tablet and the 14th Street Y.
14th Street Y at 344 East 14th Street, NYC

Re: Survival
Sandie, you are the little engine that could! I know I can. I know I can. I agree so much with everything Randi said, so will not repeat. I do have something though that I would like to ask you and other CC patients.
Bruce worked hard at compiling some statistics that he posted today about CC and time frames. I opened his post then yours and I had to start wondering....we are a free open forum BUT we try so hard to give hope and miracles so is a post like that too disturbing to you all. What I am trying to say is should it be a "closed" post that one can open if one wants to or should it be an open post that you all want to see. I hope you all understand what I am trying to say, my mind is not clear yet, still on mega Prednisone. I truly hope you can start to "relax" more in your own mind. I heard a good one the other day. God has a plan and he dopesn't have to ask us! Be strong girl, we are all behind you!

Wildcats sweep Morgan State in season openerPosted: Updated:
The Arizona volleyball team opened the Arizona Invitational and the 2013 season with a 3-0 (25-8, 25-6, 25-13) sweep over Morgan State on Saturday afternoon inside McKale Center.
Freshman Penina Snuka shined in her debut, recording a double-double with 28 assists and 10 digs. Arizona got efficient contributions from the majority of the roster with junior Rachel Rhoades and sophomores Olivia Magill and Halli Amaro all hitting at .500 or above. Juniors Madi Kingdon and Jane Croson also recorded a combined 19 kills as the Cats cruised to victory.
The Wildcats got off to a strong start in the opening set as they won eight consecutive points to start the match. Arizona maintained the wide margin throughout the set and closed it out with five straight points to take the frame, 25-8. Magill and Croson each had five kills to lead the Cats in the set.
The U of A kept the momentum in the second set as the Wildcats jumped out to an 11-0 lead. Arizona cruised to a 25-6 victory in the set to take a 2-0 lead. Kingdon and Croson led the way in the set with three and four kills, respectively. The set also featured the largest hit percentage margin, with UA outhitting Morgan State .571 to -.172.
Much of the same was featured in the third set as the Wildcats coasted behind Kingdon's five kills and junior Ronni Lewis' seven digs. The match ended with a Morgan State error, sending the Cats to a 25-13 victory in the concluding set.
Morgan State was led by senior Janelle Wilson and sophomore Dinah Jones, who each finished with five kills and hitting percentages of .444 and .118, respectively. Defensively, junior Tamara Leslie paced the Lady Bears with nine digs.
In the morning contest, Central Arkansas pulled the upset No. 20 Kansas, 3-1. Arizona will be back in action tomorrow as the Cats host Central Arkansas at 10:30 a.m. and No. 20 Kansas at 7 p.m.
