Hi Junebug!
If I were ever in such a storm, I would want to be your neighbor! :) Your daughter is one special girl, and I know you know it! :)
Amazing what our forefathers dealt with, and how far we have come, isn't it?
I am so glad to know that things are better for you, and I hope there won't be anymore such storms for a long long time to come! So glad to have you back on the list!

is there a way, through poco, to check to see if there is an internet connection. I'm pulling files from the net (using URIStreamOpener) while my program initializes but if the internet is down the code gets stuck looking for the files. I've tried a try, catch loop but the lack of internet doesn't seem to throw an exeption and therefor doesn't solve the problem.
any ideas?

Achillion Pharmaceuticals Announces Interim Results on Phase 2a Trial of ACH-3102
Achillion Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (NASDAQ: ACHN) today announced that it has completed enrollment in a pilot Phase 2a trial evaluating ACH-3102, a second-generation pan-genotypic NS5A inhibitor, in combination with ribavirin for the treatment of patients with chronic genotype 1b (GT 1b) hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection. The initial cohort enrolled eight patients with GT 1b HCV, IL28b genotype CC, that are receiving twelve weeks of ACH-3102 once daily in combination with ribavirin.
To date, five patients have completed 4 weeks of treatment, including three patients who have completed 12 weeks of treatment. ACH-3102 has been well-tolerated by all patients with no serious adverse events, subject withdrawals, or on-treatment viral breakthrough reported to date. Treatment with ACH-3102 has resulted in rapid reduction in HCV RNA accompanied by normalization of liver enzymes.

Enjoy the Summer Game shop, and THANKS FOR PLAYING!
When are the mystery items going to be revealed? Is it going to be weekly, like the badge drops?
Also, I can't choose between the messenger bag and the tote bag. I don't really bike, though. I'm leaning toward the tote bag because my friend has it and it seems REALLY cool. But, the messenger bag seems more convenient. Any suggestions?
I'm waiting to spend my points, too. I don't want to miss out on anything like those big combination packs they had last year. I'll feel foolish if I end up with doubles. Also, I got a tote bag last year and it was of really good quality.
Happy 4th of July everyone!
So random, but remember the Great Scott badge from last year? I'm pretty sure I found the book part for it, but I can't see the code. There's even a spot, if you scroll down, that says "Game Code", but nothing's under that. Where's the game code?
Actually I found a book that has the "Game Code" thing on the left side when you scroll down, but there's no actual game code. It goes directly from "Game Code" to "Tags". I don't know if it's a glitch or something else...
@SBNB, I got the tote bag and water bottle last year in one of the combos. The tote bag has held up all year (it is now my primary bag for library trips, because I got a RFID library card on carabiner with it). It's some kind of synthetic material, but mine hasn't cracked or developed holes. The water bottle is like one of the aluminum bottles that you pay big bucks for if you pay for a brand name (e.g. SIGG) but are fairly common as promotional items these days. So basically, the quality is pretty good. But I'm also wondering about the messenger bag (new this year), especially what size it is!
Received my first summer game order when I came into work yesterday. It's always such a nice surprise to find that waiting for me! I'm looking forward to trying out the new messenger bag and the headphones.
Nice job on all the descriptions (which are hilarious) and the choice of prizes!
@SBNB: The quality is quite good. I, too, use the tote bags from last year as one of my primary bags for carrying stuff to and from the library/work. It holds up well even under the strain of the larger books like art books and such.
The messenger bag seems to be made out of the same type of material. It doesn't really seem to be any bigger than the totes, but the addition of the longer strap for cross-body wear seems like a huge plus to me! I'm looking forward to using it to take my holds home today.
Thanks for all the info on the quality! I didn't think they would be poor quality, I was just wondering because it is hard to tell from pictures. I got the messenger bag and the travel mug today, and both are very nice (especially the travel mug). The messenger bag is simple, but the marterial seems to be strong. My only wish is that it had zipper.
I think I probably over used it (and checked out too many heavy nonfiction books from the library,) but of the four AADL tote bags I have, the handle broke on one of them. So try not to overfill it or carry things that are too heavy, because even nice bags don't like that.
Thank you everyone for not commenting up to 100 or so. Had a nice time at Niagara, even if I had to sit through 5 or 6 hours in car. I'm saving my points for the mysteries, if I like them. I also want the messenger bag, hope they don't run out.
@cherylo: I used my messenger bag for the first time yesterday to take my holds home from the library. I was able to fit about 7 decent-sized books in it and the strap was plenty long enough to easily wear it cross body (and I'm a pretty large female). I have not tested out the headphone grommet yet.
As for how a teen would find it, I'd say it depends on what type of activity they'd be using it for. I don't think it'd be big enough to use as a schoolbag, for example, because I don't think you could fit more than about 2 textbooks in it (and in my experience, they usually have more than that to bring home for homework!). But for carrying miscellaneous things around, it would probably work just fine.
It is the same material as the totes so it's pretty sturdy and does have a nice handle to carry it with if you don't wish to use the strap. I'm pretty happy with it so far. :)
Hope that helps you!
@bookbird: I lived for a year in Buffalo so I would drive to see the falls a lot. The best days were the days when the weather conditions were just right and you could literally watch the mist from the falls form clouds. That's a pretty fascinating thing to watch. :)

I have avoided wearing a helmet and just started this year. Not only does this protect but it keeps you warm or ventilated when necessary and is so light you honestly don't even know it is on your head.

Lake Elsinore Councilman Daryl Hickman filed a statement with the city clerk last week in response to a recall campaign targeting him.
At the City Council 's March 13 meeting, civic activist Chris Hyland served Hickman with the notice listing 13 reasons why he should be removed from office.
Hyland's gesture was precipitated by the City Council's controversial 3-2 vote to fire widely popular City Manager Bob Brady , with Hickman, Councilwoman Melissa Melendez and Councilman Peter Weber forming the majority.
Hickman is in the second year of his third term in office, while Melendez's and Weber's terms will be voted on in November.
The allegations in the recall notice are mostly vague references to statements or actions imputed to Hickman over the past couple of years, ranging from comments to campaign activities.
Issuance of the notice gave Hickman seven days to respond with a written statement that must be displayed with the recall petition.
Hickman won his third term in November 2010, narrowly beating his political foe and then City Councilman Thomas Buckley, who finished third in the race for two seats. Previously that year, Buckley had survived a recall election viewed by his supporters, who included Hyland, as being tacitly backed by Hickman.
The allegations state generalities such as Hickman "bullied, slandered and lied to residents," has shown "incompetence" and made "racist remarks."
The latter reference is to a suggestion made on a couple of occasions by Hickman, who has a business background in Asia. He told city administrators they ought to look into recruiting Korean or Vietnamese experts in shrimp or catfish cultivation to launch such farms on excavated city property.
Hyland on Thursday said she wouldn't specifically discuss the allegations until after the campaign's petition has formally qualified to launch a signature-gathering campaign. The goal is to get enough signatures to force an election asking voters whether they want to oust Hickman from office.
"We checked everything," she said of the allegations. "Most of that stuff happened on television, and for everything that didn't happen on television, documents were checked out."
In his response, Hickman states that his support for terminating Brady "was a result of nonperformance and accountability to the City's residents, overall welfare, safety, image and growth."
Hickman could not be reached for comment by The Californian on Thursday. On the council dais and in a subsequent interview, Hickman called the allegations "bogus."
The recall notice is the initial step toward circulating a petition seeking signatures. If the petitioners collect valid signatures from at least 20 percent of the registered voters, it would require the city to hold an election asking voters if they want to dismiss and replace the councilman.
"The comments in the Recall Petition borderline on defamation of character and slander issues," he states in his written response. "I am requesting that the petitioners, including Mr. Dan Lincoln, provide me with the specifics of these false allegations or else 'cease and desist' on any further actions regarding this Recall Petition."
There is no indication why Lincoln, one of the 10 proponents who signed the notice, was being singled out. Lincoln is an employee of Lamb's Fellowship who is mostly known for organizing the church's volunteer efforts aimed at cleaning up the community and helping out the needy.
Most of the proponents listed are well-known figures in the city and supporters of Brady, including elected City Treasurer Allen Baldwin and Elsinore Valley Municipal Water District Board Director Harvey Ryan .
When first contacted about his name being on the response, Lincoln said he was surprised and would not comment until he had reviewed it.
Subsequently, Lincoln said he thought it might have been because he had forgotten to register to vote after moving to Lake Elsinore from Canyon Lake about a year ago.
"A Notice of Intention to Circulate Recall Petition" must be signed by at least 10 proponents who are registered voters of the city.
City Clerk Virginia Bloom said Thursday that she had been notified by the county registrar of voters office that the signatures, including Lincoln's, had been verified as belonging to registered voters at the addresses they listed.
The next step in the recall process is for Hyland, the leader of the Committee to Recall Lake Elsinore Councilman Daryl Hickman, to file a draft signature-gathering petition by March 30.
Failure to file by the deadline invalidates the process, Bloom said.
If the draft is filed on time, the clerk will review it to see whether it meets the rules and will return it to the proponents for corrections if needed, with each step limited to 10 days.
Once the petition is approved, the petitioners will have 120 days to collect the signatures of 20 percent of the city's registered voters.
A March 1 count placed the city's number of registered voters at 16,307. That would mean the petitioners would have to collect at least 3,262 valid signatures, but the figures could vary with an updated count.
"We're going for about 5,000 signatures to make sure we have (enough)," Hyland said. "We do have people who have already stated that they would get the signatures."
She said she did not know yet whether the committee would seek to hire a petition circulation consultant.

Dissident Republicans arrested in counterfeit cash raid
THREE men have been arrested after a raid on a counterfeit cash gang.
Two dissident Republicans and a major criminal are in custody after gardai busted a printing press and seized €20k in counterfeit money.
Heavily armed detectives raided a premises in Summerhill, Co Meath at 1.30pm yesterday and discovered a printing press, €20,000 in fake cash and a number of computers.
The three suspects, all in their 40s, were being questioned at Mountjoy and the Bridewell garda stations.
A number of follow-up searches took place in Dublin this morning.
A senior source described the SDU's operation as a "major coup" against dissident republicanism.
"This was a highly sophisticated counterfeiting operation and these men had been under surveillance for many weeks," a source said.
The Herald can reveal that one of the suspects is on bail after being charged with membership of the IRA last year at the Special Criminal Court.
He is a 46-year-old man from Dublin's north inner city who was arrested on Good Friday last year after a search of a commercial premises in Clondalkin as part of a garda investigation into the activities of dissident republicans.
The other arrested dissident republican is considered one of the main leaders of the IRA in Dublin.
He has risen up the ranks of republicanism since the murder of Real IRA chief Alan Ryan in September 2012 and is considered one of three men who control dissident activity in the capital.
Sources say the third man is a well-known criminal who works with gangs in both Co Meath and Dublin.
The counterfeit cash scam was described today as being "extremely elaborate".
A source said: "The garda operation has made sure that the country has not been flooded with dodgy bank bills."
Yesterday's operation is the biggest counterfeit cash seizure by gardai since detectives raided an underground bunker in Co Laois in June 2010.
On that occasion, enough ink and specialist paper was found to produce €200m worth of €50 and €100 notes.
The operation leading to the discovery of the underground bunker near Borris-in-Ossory in 2010 started when police across Europe began detecting the near-perfect notes.
An international operation was put into place stretching as far as Japan, where it is believed materials were sourced.

Congressman Charlie Rangel Delivers for Us, So We Must Deliver for Him – Support Congressman Rangel!
 As chairman of the House Ways and Means Committee, Congressman Charles Rangel (D-NY), is one of the most powerful members of Congress; a fact that has not been lost on conservative Congressional Republicans. Threatened by Democratic dominance in both Houses of Congress and a Democratic President in the White House, Republicans have launched an all-out media campaign to remove the first African American Chairman of the powerful Committee.
The irony is that this is because Charlie Rangel stepped forward and did the right thing when allegations were made about his financial disclosure forms. Rangel himself hired a forensic accountant to review his reports, and made all the appropriate revisions of the report. Yet, Republican members have seized upon the allegations and are leading a campaign to short circuit the Ethics process and demand his immediate removal as Committee Chairman.
On October 14, 2009, Rep. John Carter (R-TX), House Republican Conference Secretary, issued a news release boasting that "editorial boards and writers are joining the call for Rangel to resign as Chairman until the constantly expanding ethics investigation is complete."
And yet, a Capitol Hill publication, Roll Call, reported on October 22 that Congressman Carter himself had "failed to disclose nearly $300,000 in profits from oil stock sales in 2006-07." In a follow up article on October 23, Politico, another Capitol Hill publication, reported that "House Republicans say they'll press on with their efforts to dethrone House Ways and Means Committee Chairman Charles Rangel-despite the fact that the Republican leading their charge now faces ethical issues of his own."
Then, on October 19, Politico ran a front-page story under the headline "GOP Sees Gain From Rangel Issue." The article said that Republican Minority Leader John "Boehner and other top Republicans don't want to make Rangel into a sympathetic figure and are sensitive to accusations from African Americans that there is a GOP campaign to remove him from power."
The recent news revelations about Congressman Carter's own ethical issues confirm the sheer hypocrisy and malicious intent of the GOP campaign to remove Chairman Rangel from power. And the campaign was begun before the Ethics Committee has concluded its investigation. Whatever happened to due process? It is obvious that House Republicans and the national Republican Party are desperate to avoid the electoral disaster's they've suffered in the last two elections as they went from a majority in the House of Representatives to their hard right base. Attacking Rangel, a key House player in getting healthcare reform through Congress, is an obvious ploy to derail the measure. The Republican plan is simple: Damage Rangel, derail healthcare and go on to reclaim the House in next year's election.Â
Congressman Rangel has established a distinguished record during his 20 terms of service in the House of Representatives, and he has been an effective chairman of the House Ways and Means Committee; working with both sides of the aisle to find solutions to such issues as health care reform, social security, simplification of the tax code, Medicare, and economic recovery. Under Rangel's leadership, the Ways and Means Committee, in fact, was the first committee in the US Congress to report out a comprehensive health reform bill.
Charlie Rangel should not and will not be railroaded. The House of Representatives has rules and a process that should be followed. Failure to follow those rules be unfair, and set a dangerous precedent. We urge all people of goodwill to write letters to the editors in response to the series of negative editorials, columns and articles appearing in the mainstream media, and to call in to radio and cable-TV talk shows to counter negative attacks by commentators and their listeners.

When a child has surgery, it can be a stressful time for the parents and the child. In most cases, the baby may be able to return to breastfeeding once he/she is awake enough to tolerate liquids.
In many cases, babies can breastfeed up to 4 hours before surgery. Check with your baby's doctor to be sure.
You will most likely need to pump at least once during your baby's procedure.

Galloway warns of voter 'tidal wave'
Full result table below
George Galloway predicted a "tidal wave" of rebellion against Britain's mainstream parties today after pulling off one of the most remarkable by-election upsets in political history.
In a huge blow for Ed Miliband, the former Labour maverick grabbed the seat of Bradford West — held by Labour since 1974 — with a majority of more than 10,000.
It was a painful result not just for Labour but for the bookmakers, who took their biggest hit on a by-election as Mr Galloway's supporters backed him down from 33/1.
Addressing jubilant activists outside his campaign HQ, the former Labour maverick warned of a "tidal wave" of disillusioned voters ready to rebel against the mainstream parties.
"I think Bradford needs a change. Anybody who knows the city and…

TO many at the time, it was one of the greatest scandals of the Reformation: the former monk Martin Luther married the escaped nun, Katie von Bora.
However, Martin Luther's marriage to "his Katie" or "his rib," as he called her, was the greatest romance of the Reformation. Their relationship was an inspiration to many; their model home was filled with happy children and many visitors. It led to a reformation of marriage in 16th century Europe and some of this influence has remained to this day and spread around the world.
This year's Reformation lecture in the Covenant Protestant Reformed Church (CPRC), entitled "Martin and Katie Luther: The Reformation of Marriage," will be held in the CPRC's new church building on Clarence Street, off the Cullybackey Road in Ballymena on Friday night (October 19) at 7.30pm. Come along to learn about their courtship, wedding and family life, with its joys and struggles, and its significance for the Reformation, pastoral home life and the Christian family.
Slides of the key people and places in Germany will be shown. There will also be an extensive book table and tea will be available afterwards. More information is on-line (www.cprc.co.uk). All are welcome.

Sony: We Pledge To Mainstream All-In-One Machines
Sony's sick of hearing about the downfall of desktops - they actually have a better idea: push for laptop-like desktops or "all-in-ones" for nearly all of their future desktop lines. That, in addition to all this Bluray recording and high-definition catering, should be enough to make any powerhouse users' heads explode.
"The VAIO JS, LV and RT desktop models all boast at least an optional integrated BD optical drive, and surprisingly, each model is incredibly distinct. For instance, the budget-minded JS boasts a 20.1-inch XBRITE-ECO LCD alongside an integrated webcam and microphone for $1,000, while the LV includes a 24-inch WUXGA (1,920 x 1,200) screen, optional BD writer and built-in DVR functionality with up to 1TB of storage; furthermore, it offers an HDMI input for connecting your set-top-box or PS3. The $3,300 (and up) RT comes with a 25.5-inch Full HD LCD aimed at video editors, and there's also integrated digital TV tuners, HDMI in / out, up to 8GB of RAM and one of Intel's Core 2 Quad CPUs." -Engadget
It sounds like these should be coming out around mid-October. Better start pinching that wallet if you want one of the more powerful offerings - three grand is no joke!

|llustration for a Detroit Vapor Stove advertisement in the May 3, 1919 issue of Country Gentleman magazine. That was a year that thousands of soldiers came home from World War One.
Railway Spine
Stress Syndrome
Shell Shock
Battle Fatigue
Traumatic War Neurosis
Post Traumatic Stress Disorder
After experiencing the horrors of war, many US Soldiers brought back with them the symptoms of PTSD, Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, or as it was known in World War One, Shell Shock. These symptoms included hyper-vigilance, extreme fatigue, disassociation with family members and life in general, depression, sleep disturbances, numbness, avoidance, unbidden recall of traumatic events, irritability, anger, aggression, exaggerated startle response, and so much more.
For many of these soldiers of World War One, there was little or no treatment available. People assumed that if the soldier just went home and rested up, spent time with family, ate decently, and went to work, it would all pass over. And for many it did. But for some, PTSD lingered. These men found it difficult, if not impossible to assimilate back into their normal lives. They had seen too much, done too much, been too traumatized to ever forget.
Sadly, many of these American soldiers sought comfort in alcohol and drugs, their marriages and families fell apart, relationships imploded or withered away, and many took their own lives.
PTSD was a very real problem. It was in World War One and it is now. So many of our soldiers are returning from combat in need of help. As people become more aware of the disorder, more efforts are being made to help our soldiers. New treatments for PTSD are being developed all the time, and our veterans are being encouraged to seek help. And not just the soldiers. Help is available for family and spouses of returning vets and their children as well.
If you want to help, check out http://www.woundedwarriorproject.org/ They accept donations and volunteer hours, and their specific goal is to help veterans adjust to life after combat.

Letter - Hunting contributes to economy
To the editor:
As the executive director of the Alexandria Chamber of Commerce, my focus is on encouraging and strengthening the business climate in the Alexandria lakes area. Many in our area care deeply about the success of Alexandria's business community and for many of our businesses, success is achieved through the economic impact of hunting. Since we are in the middle of hunting season, it is the perfect time to recognize hunting for its contribution to our local and statewide economy.
On average, Minnesota hunters spend $738 per hunter each year. This money is not just spent on hunting gear and ammunition but many hunters will grab a bite to eat before or after they hunt, and fill up with gas at local gas stations and stay at local hotels and resorts. Many different businesses benefit from hunters coming to our region to hunt, which is why the Chamber has joined a new partnership called Hunting Works for Minnesota (www.huntingworksformn.com).
With the season at its peak, it is the goal of Hunting Works and the Chamber to spread the word about how hunting positively impacts local economies just like Alexandria's.

Boring, and wasn't even semi-entertaining
It had no real good points if it was meant to parody governmental prohibition. Considering that the "leaders" were too stupid to know they are doing, I guess I can see some humor in there as it was meant to be shown but overall I just couldn't wait for it to be over with.
Voice acting was horribly done, even if the tone was British based. Sadly, I felt that this was the part that could have really shined right after the art style(which is the only reason this video got a 1 from me).
The art was ok, however the smashed up elderly people's faces weren't the greatest things I've seen. True they should have wrinkles, but in gray-toons the wrinkles don't need to be as harsh as you made them.
Sorry for the harsh review, but its only my opinion.

What is texture?
Texture goes beyond mere pattern or form into something more complex and organic that you could touch, feel and maybe even identify with your eyes closed if your hand were big or small enough. These are visual representations of a non-visual sense: touch.

Center for Regional and Continuing Education
The Leadership Development Program, now in its sixth year, has served more than 250 local government leaders throughout California. The series provides strategies and solutions for department managers, administrative staff, supervisors, elected officials and any other local government, tribal or special district employee with an interest in developing more effective leadership skills.
Martin Nichols, city manager for the City of Red Bluff and advisory board member for the Northern California Local Government Leadership Institute, has sent all of the city's department heads and most of the city's middle managers through the program. "I have found it to be a great value for establishing a common understanding of contemporary leadership and management practices upon which to base our team-building efforts. Three graduates of the program have become Red Bluff department heads."
The first course, Redefining Organizational Leadership, begins the series with an exploration of the core elements of exceptional leadership and how to effectively apply them in a local government environment. Participants will learn how to coach, motivate and stimulate the development of leadership skills to prepare employees to assume leadership roles in the complex local government environment. Subsequent courses will provide strategies in the areas of media relations, vision development and articulation, relationship building and strategic partnerships, and strategic thinking and policy development.
The five-course 2010 Leadership Development Program starts March 26 on the CSU, Chico campus. Early and group discounts are available.
For course descriptions and enrollment information, contact the CSU, Chico Continuing Education office at 530-898-6105 or visit the Northern California Local Government Leadership Institute Web site at http://rce.csuchico.edu/leader.

Ray Bonneville: Bad Man's Blood
The songs on this disc remind us of danger, real grief and pain -- but that's life.
Ray Bonneville
Bad Man'd BloodLabel: Red House
US Release Date: 2011-08-30
UK Release Date: 2011-10-03
Ray Bonneville sings the sweet blues, songs of sometime despair with the sound of hope somewhere in the music. He complements this atmosphere with righteous guitar licks on both the acoustic and electric guitar. Bonneville allows the silences between chords talk as forcefully as what he plays, just as he lets the stillness between the words to his songs sing louder than his articulated phrasing.
He also has a sense of humor, so that even the mean hearted tunes -- much like the title track -- come off more as a story with a moral more than a real life drama about a kid with a father in prison. And when Bonneville means to be funny, as in the appropriately titled "Funny 'Bout Love", there is something delightful about the whole set up. He reminds us to "think of the good times not the bad", which is always good advice. Even when Bonneville reminds us that we can't change our situations, he helps us change our attitude. The songs on this disc remind us of danger, real grief and pain -- but that's life. It beats the alternative.

The Look For Less: Giuseppe Zanotti Fringed Boots
It was Fab at first sight when I laid eyes on these Giuseppe Zanotti Fringed Leather Boots ($1,025). I can't stop staring. J'adore how the witchy-inspired cut is offset with the folksy fringe — I die. But should I spend that much money on a trend-setting piece?
To see the look for less,
I'm loving the new US Topshop site. Now, I can purchase these Topshop Amore Fringe Lace Boots ($160) without paying the ridiculous international shipping fee. My feet are thanking the shorter heel, and I love the juicy, plum color.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — Sixteen-year-old Jason Alexander weighed 326 pounds four months ago when he and 13 classmates boarded a plane for a weight-loss boarding school in South Carolina.
When he stepped off a flight home Friday, he was down to 233 pounds, making him the biggest loser in his Missouri school district's unusually aggressive effort to battle childhood obesity.
While individual families have long enrolled children in weight-loss programs, the Independence school district is believed to be the first to send students as a group to a program like the one in South Carolina. The 12 students who completed the program lost a combined 756 pounds, and relatives and friends who greeted them at the airport could scarcely believe the change.
Jason's mother, Debbie Alexander, said it wasn't just the weight loss. Her son who had battled a speech impediment and been slow to smile was now grinning broadly.
"It's crazy," Alexander said. "Kids have always given him grief."
The school district, its foundation and the students' families worked together to pay about half of the usual $28,500-per-semester tuition at MindStream Academy in Bluffton, S.C. The rest of the tuition was paid by a foundation associated with the academy and other donors.
Jason and the other students — the youngest was 11 — spent the semester exercising, studying, working with counselors and learning to eat healthier. Their parents, meanwhile, met monthly with MindStream's clinical director in Independence to learn how to help their children upon their return. Experts say it's hard for anyone to maintain weight-loss if their families don't also develop good eating and exercise habits.
Several Independence parents said the program also helped them lose weight, from 5 to 80 pounds. The brother of a teen who went to South Carolina lost 36 pounds at home.
Neither the district nor the boarding school knew of any other public schools that had made such an effort. But Sarah Stone, the director of programming at MindStream, said it hopes to engage other districts in similar partnerships in the future.
"It is to all of our best interest for these kids to be able to realize their best potential," Stone said.
Each student had a story of how the pounds added up. Jason's weight shot up after his father's death 6 1/2 years earlier, jeopardizing his dream of joining the military. Like many who are overweight, he became easily winded and his knees hurt.
He said he's now 40 to 50 pounds from being able to qualify military service and plans to join a training group to help him shed the rest of the weight. His family has cleansed the kitchen of junk food, made space for a treadmill and stocked up on healthy items like ground turkey. The district envisions Jason and the other participants becoming health ambassadors in their schools, perhaps speaking to groups or working one-on-one with classmates who are struggling with their weight.
"I feel amazing," said Jason, who shed weight so quickly that he struggled to find clothes. His jeans, which he bought from another classmate, hung loose around him, cinched with a belt to keep them from falling off. "I can't believe I got to that point. I can't believe I got that big."

Tuesday, May 18, 1999 Published at 16:33 GMT 17:33 UK
World: Europe
Cross-border murder suspect found dead
Two died in a hail of bullets at Xanadu disco
The body of a man suspected of embarking on a killing spree, which left five people dead in France and Germany, has been found in a hotel in Luxembourg where he apparently killed himself.
G鮾ter Hermann Ewen, a 36-year-old German convicted rapist, was the suspect at the centre of a huge police operation in northern France.
A 48-hour manhunt with helicopters and hundreds of police began on Sunday, after shots were fired into a crowd at the Xanadu disco in Dillingen in southwest Germany.
The trail of bloodshed led from the disco to a nearby home where a Frenchman and his British wife were killed, and their 11-year-old daughter seriously wounded by shots from a pump-action shotgun.
Fleeing across the border to Sierck-les-Bains, the gunman shot dead a 39-year-old Frenchman, who had tried to stop the gunman from stealing his car.
Another driver, who had earlier refused to give up his car to the gunman, was wounded.
French and German police linked the Dillingen killings to the murder in France.
Police found two cars abandoned along the way, but there were no other traces of the suspect.
Fear gripped villagers living around the eastern French border, with some people reportedly barricading themselves in their homes.
A state prosecutor in the German border town of Saarbruecken said the suspect may have been motivated by revenge in at least two of the murders.

Gonorrhea dodges antibiotics
Wed, 20 Feb 2013 01:19:25 GMT —
Germs that resist antibiotics are becoming more and more common.
According to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and The Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA), resistant gonorrhea is becoming more prevalent.
The experts say overusing antibiotics is becoming a global problem, and because of this, itâ??s becoming difficult to treat some germs.
â??The more that these bugs get exposed to an antibiotic, they get smart, and they get resistant,â?? Randall W. Tobler, M.D., from Scotland County Hospital said.
According to the Adair County Health Departmentâ??s 2012 annual report, local medical officials treated more than 200 patients for gonorrhea and chlamydia.
Gonorrhea has progressively developed resistance to the antibiotic drugs prescribed to treat it.
â??Just last summer, the CDC has come out with recommendations that because the bugs are getting smarter we need to use two antibiotics now,â?? Dr. Tobler said. â??Thereâ??s over 800,000 cases a year in America. Fear not, there are still antibiotics to treat, but over the long term, weâ??re going to have to stay one page ahead of that and develop new antibiotics to kill the germ.â??
The CDC said additional contributing factors include incorrect diagnosis of diseases or unnecessary prescriptions.
â??The gonorrhea story is just another chapter of the same book,â?? Dr. Tobler said. â??Weâ??re finding that, because of several reasons, overuse of antibiotics in the human population, some people say the agricultural population either to promote growth in animals, or to keep away infection, weâ??re finding that some of the common germs that we see in human infections are becoming resistant to multiple antibiotics and sometimes even to the very powerful strong antibiotics, so that everything from tuberculosis to staff and yes even with some sexually transmitted diseases, we may see the day...in fact it is here where weâ??re seeing super bugs that are resistant to everything and that can be tragic with sometimes fatal results.â??
The CDC urges yearly gonorrhea screenings for at-risk sexually active individuals.
Dr. Tobler said an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.

Financial advisors are obliged to talk to their clients about social security, but they are avoiding this topic. Wall Street Journal sought an explanation to this from the president of Nationwide Financial Sales and Distribution, David Giertz.
David Geirtz's Experience
David Giertz has over 30 years' experience in financial advisory. He has a diverse work experience gained from working with topnotch financial firms. He worked for Financial Horizons Securities Corporations, CITICORP Investment services among others. In 1986, David took the General Industry Exam on Whitepages.com. In the following year, he took the State Securities Law Exam. In 1994, Geirtz took the Principal/Supervisory Exam.
David Geirtz has built a successful career in the finance industry on Facebook. He was made the vice president of Nationwide Insurance Company in April 2013. He has previously worked as a broker-dealer in securities. At 52 years of age, he is on top of his career, and he resides in Columbus, Ohio.
David Geirtz attributed the ignorance of the current financial advisors on matters social security to the complexity of the social security handbook. Speaking to the Wall Street Journal, Geirtz said that the 2700 rules in the handbook are a lot to comprehend.
David Geirtz analyzed the outcome of a survey that was carried out by the Nationwide Financial Retirement Institute at https://brokercheck.finra.org/individual/summary/1515515. The survey that was done on consumers, people who are retired and those who are ten years from retirement revealed that most advisors did not address social security with clients.
"A Financial Advisor is part of the retirement income process planning." said Geirtz."Those who turn on social security too early could lose up to $ 300,000 over 25 years." warned Geirtz .

The Midwest city's approach was much friendlier than New York's
Like New York City, Cleveland saw the urgent need in the 1930s for affordable and healthy public housing for its citizens. The Cleveland Municipal Housing Authority (now the Cuyahoga Municipal Housing Authority) was created in 1933 as a response to the poor living conditions of lower income neighborhoods.
Former City Councilman Ernest Bohn spearheaded the creation of the CMHA. Initially seen as a "socialist" concept, Bohn struggled to sell local politicians and landlords on the virtues of public housing. Once the CMHA was created, however, Cleveland quickly developed a reputation as having some of the most innovative approaches to creating and maintaining housing projects, many of which still operate today.
Most of these posters use modernist type alignment and graphics while showcasing happy children and families inside the new projects as opposed to NYCHA's posters of the same era and style, which focused more on the dangers of not accepting the virtues of public housing.
Courtesy of the Library of Congress, here is a look at a few of CMHA's posters, promoting their new housing (we highly recommend clicking the "full screen" option below for the best experience):

On Wednesday, December 14, Lt. Governor Donna Lynne and Colorado Commissioner of Agriculture, Don Brown made a quick stop in Akron. Daryl Bowin was called by Brown and made the arrangements for the meeting, which was held at Global Harvest. Once the meeting started, everyone introduced themselves and Brown started the meeting. Brown said, "The Governor and Lt. Governor are very interested in the rural areas and what the farmers have to say. I am so glad they care about the rural areas." Lynne, who was sworn into office on May 12, was appointed in March, 2016 to take over for Joe Garcia, who resigned. "I am a fill in. I will advise the governor and hope to make the state more accountable. I hope to make those in the administration more aware of the problems and what we can do to help," Lynne said. Commissioner David Foy discussed the impact of Obamacare. "There are a lot of proposals on health care and we need to see what is going to happen. The prices definitely need to come down," Foy added. Nick Avinolde, Global Harvest manager said, "This business began in 1904 by the Hall family and Terry Hall stills works for us. We have 60 people employed and we are very proud of what we do. We have 525 farms participating on getting us seed and other crops and most of them are in Colorado. We ship between 10 and 12 million pounds of seed a month. We have some automation in our business and if it goes down or we have to stop for any reason, which means that everything else comes to a stop.
We ship all over the United States and to foreign countries. We also ship to areas where there is a closer plant, but our turnaround is faster. Everything affects us and other businesses." Mayor George Reese was asked how things are in Akron and he said, "The loss of 21st Century to Yuma has affected our sales tax. This is not because of the products they sold, but because those who were employed there are not shopping as much in Akron," Reese commented. Foy discussed the new nursing home and said they can't open the fourth building, because they couldn't get CNA's. He also said it is hard to get teachers in the schools and that could affect everyone. John Widmar, Multiple Inspections for the Colorado Department of Agriculture, covers five programs for the department. A few of the things he is in charge of are checking scales, sampling feed and seed and helping formulate good manufacturing practices. He works out of the Greeley office. "We also try to respond within one or two days to our customers, answer questions, visit their business or farm and help in any way we can and do it as soon as possible," said Widmar. The meeting then had to be wrapped up, as Lynne had to be in Denver by 6 p.m. for another meeting. Brown reiterated that the administration of the state is very interested in the rural areas and the farms and ranches and are doing their best to help agriculture in the state.

Silicone implants safe says US inquiry
No proof that silicone implants are a health risk, say experts
A panel of US medical experts has ruled there is no proof that silicone breast implants are harmful to health.
The experts, appointed two years ago, said tests had shown toxic side-effects were few in number and questionable in significance.
It is thought the findings - although not legally binding - could have a significant bearing on thousands of court cases throughout the world, where women maintain they have suffered after breast implant operations.
One company, Dow Corning, has already offered more than $3bn in settlement of actions against it.
Lawyers representing those affected attacked the study as too narrow and accused the experts of failing to address one key question.
In their report, the experts said: "The main conclusion that can be drawn from existing studies is that women with silicone breast implants do not display a silicone-induced systemic abnormality in the types of functions of cells of the immune system."
Lawyer Rick Laminack, whose Houston firm represents about 1,500 breast implant recipients, said the report failed to address the critical issue of implant deterioration.
"This report does not deal with the fact that implants break," he said.
"They rupture, they leak, they fall apart. This report by the science panel does not deal with that subject, which is why we have lawsuits.
"This report focused on some very narrow questions."
The panel of scientists from US universities gathered evidence from medical experts for both sides and examined about 2,000 documents.
They were ordered to look for relationships between implants and a series of disorders, including lupus, Sjogren's syndrome, immune system dysfunctions, scleroderma and rheumatoid arthritis.
With the exception of Sjogren's syndrome, the chief symptom of which is dry mouth, the panel found no links between the implants and the illnesses.
In releasing the report, the judge said the panellists would give videotaped sworn statements about their conclusions for use in future lawsuits.

CAIRO, Oct. 10 (UPI) -- As revolutionary Egypt is convulsed once again by troops fighting protesters in the streets there are growing concerns that the self-appointed ruling military council is dragging its feet on setting up a post-Mubarak civilian government to buy time so it can stay in power.
The clashes Sunday in downtown Cairo were the bloodiest incidents since the 18-day pro-democracy revolution that ended with the downfall of President Hosni Mubarak after three decades in power.
The street battles involved Christian Copts, Muslims and troops and left at least 24 people dead and some 200 wounded.
These events raised questions about whether the generally peaceful transition, supposedly toward a new era of democracy after decades of repression, will continue as Egyptians begin to organize politically.
These concerns have been heightened by suspicions that the Supreme Council of the Armed Forces, which took control after Mubarak was ousted, is delaying promised elections and other reforms while the generals consolidate power.
The SCAF has pledged that no military figures will run in planned presidential elections. But speculation has been mounting that the de facto head of state, Field Marshal Mohamed Hussein Tantawi, Mubarak's long-serving defense minister, may do just that.
Egypt's media has made much of television footage made Sept. 26 showing Tantawi dressed in civilian clothes, rather than the military uniform he usually wears, during a public appearance in Cairo, without his usual phalanx of bodyguards.
This was widely seen as a carefully orchestrated political ploy to set the scene for Tantawi's eventual emergence as a presidential candidate.
"The armed forces have no interest in staying in power for a long time," Tantawi declared Thursday.
But, he added, "We will not leave Egypt until we have fulfilled all we promised and do our duty toward the people."
"Modern Egyptian history is replete with members of the military who took over the top spot in Egyptian politics -- Gamal Abdel Nasser, Anwar Sadat and Mubarak all fit this profile -- and it would not be hard to envision Tantawi wanting to do the same," observed U.S. global security consultancy Stratfor.
"Whether it would lead to a return to the sort of unrest that occurred last winter is impossible to say.
"What is clear is that the military never lost control of the situation in Egypt during the peak of the protests, and as a result, true regime change … has not occurred."
Now, amid growing unease about SCAF's intentions, the council has unveiled an electoral timetable that puts back the reform program announced after Mubarak was forced to step down.
Elections for both houses of Parliament will begin in November, staggered over several months. The two chambers would together form a provisional constitutional assembly in March or April.
Then a new constitution would be written followed by a national referendum.
That would mean the earliest a presidential poll could be held would be late 2013 -- with SCAF running the country until then.
Meantime, the council has reintroduced Mubarak-era emergency laws that it had pledged to scrap and continues to employ military tribunals rather than civilian courts.
Rand Corp. analysts Jeff Martini and Julie Taylor wrote in the September issue of Foreign Affairs that the military has long had its own political and economic agenda and that the revolution played into the generals' hands.
"The break between the generals and Mubarak was not so sudden," they observed. "Over the past decade, the regime had begun to balance its reliance on the armed forces by cultivating a class of crony capitalists.
"The generals felt their influence slipping away as Mubarak disregarded their economic interests, ignored their advice on ministerial appointments, and organized a campaign to transfer power to his son against their wishes.
"Although the military did not seek to overthrow Mubarak, this year's demonstrations gave it an opportunity to restore its central position," Martini and Taylor wrote.
"Since ousting Mubarak and ascending to power, the SCAF has deftly channeled lingering public outrage over corruption toward those who threatened its own power, such as Mubarak's business cronies and members of his formerly ruling National Democratic Party.
"The generals now hope to create a system of carefully shaped democratic institutions that will preserve their power and reduce the chances that any single political group can challenge them."

A Fairtrade St Paul's
A model of St Paul's made entirely from the packaging of fairtrade products was unveiled in the famous cathedral on Monday for Fairtrade Fortnight.
The unveiling was joined by Fairtrade sugar producer Henry Matenga, from Malawi, and Sophi Tranchell, managing director of Divine Chocolate company.
It comes as the Diocese of London celebrates its first anniversary as an accredited Fairtrade Diocese.
The model was designed and created by Amanda Hughes, Children's Church Co-ordinator of St Mary's, Finchley, to celebrate the London Diocese's support for fairtrade.
"I'm thrilled to see the model in St Paul's Cathedral and feel very happy to do my small part in showing how we can help reduce poverty in the world with our shopping habits," she said.
The eight-feet long structure is made up of fairtrade chocolate wrappers, tea boxes, and even banana stickers.
It symbolises the unity of the Diocese in its fairtrade mission, with the model railings surrounding the Cathedral highlighting the names of all 237 Anglican churches within the Diocese of London that have a Fairtrade certificate.
Canon Precentor of St Paul's Cathedral, Michael Hampel, said: "St Paul's are very happy to provide a temporary home for this wonderful sculpture during Fairtrade Fortnight."
The sculpture will be on display by the west doors of St Paul's Cathedral for public viewing until 10 March.

Oh Say Can You Say "Distracted"
Todd Pittenger - August 30, 2016 6:43 am
A football player refuses to stand for the national anthem, instead choosing to sit alone on the bench to quietly protest what he sees as injustice in America. And the world as we know it loses its mind.
My social media feeds have been blowing up, and it's been trending in the news since Saturday when the story first started to break.
A majority of my friends are outraged by this. Some contend that at a minimum the player should be penalized by his team or the league, and others go as far as saying he should be deported. Conversely there are a select few who support what he is doing.
One thing this story is doing, at least temporarily, is serving as a distraction.
Instead of nationally being focused on a presidential race where two terrible human beings, each trying to label the other as the biggest racist, are the two leading contenders, rather we are debating whether an athlete should be forced to stand up during the national anthem.
Across Kansas our elected leaders in their infinite wisdom stubbornly refuse to fix a tax plan that isn't working, and instead balance the budget on the backs of our schools. Just Monday the library at Kansas State University announced big changes, staying open fewer hours and cutting staff. But we are debating whether a football player, who never graduated from college, has the right to sit instead of stand while the national anthem is sung.
Locally as we spend money to build on to our schools to make beautiful new classrooms, each year we have fewer teachers and out of control class sizes. Instead of someone taking a stand about this, we are more concerned about an athlete with a multi-million dollar contract taking a stand.
Perhaps the biggest winner in all of this is Ryan Lochte. Does anyone remember anything about a swimmer who was recently in the news?
Hey Todd its because of people like yourself with stinkin thinkin. First of all Colin should be told to stand. Some say it all has to do with freedom of speech. Many of us say it is pure disrespect to our flag and country. Freedom of speech is only available to him because of the fathers, sons and daughters who have died to give this person to have that right but not the right to disrespect the flag which they died for. You then bring in Trump and Hillary but the only one who will clean up Washington is Trump. Evidently you are a politically correct type of guy not the tell it like it is guys that got this country where it is today. How many of those serving in Topeka did you vote for to be there and cause all these problems? As to the football player Colin there are people donating to a fund to pay whatever player on any team that ends his career. Now that would be justice. If he is so worried about the black race he should get off his butt and put a stop to all the blacks killing blacks far more than any cop killing blacks. Further he should give up his playing football and become a police officer and let him see first hand what goes on in those black slums both to black and white officers. Before protesting shamefully he should experience first hand what is going on all over this country.

Will democracy in action impress SF?
Congratulations to the good people of the Republic for putting two fingers up to the European 'elite' with their rejection of the Lisbon Treaty.
Thanks must also go to the folk that drafted the Irish Constitution for having the wisdom to include a clause necessitating public consultation should alterations be required.
Would that the UK had such a clause to force the clunking fist of Gordon Brown to live up to his promise to listen to the people.
However, the irony of Ireland saying No, in the name of democracy, cannot have passed by the unionist people of Northern Ireland.
Even more, the fact that Marty and the gang were among those saying No is just plain funny.
Does this mean the Shinners are going to accept the democratic will of the Northern Irish people who have continually demonstrated they have no wish to join the Republic of Ireland?
As far as I'm aware, Ulster still says no.

The International Tyrolean Trentini Organization of America (ITTONA) has selected Solvay to host the 2008 ITTONA convention – the first to be held in a small village setting.
In previous years, the convention was held much larger locals, such as New York City, San Francisco and the Italian Trento, from which Trentinis hail.
Peter Albrigo convention general chair, said having Solvay chosen was a tremendous honor.
The three-day heritage event is expected to bring a crowd of more than 400 people, many decendents of Trentini and Tyrolean immigrants. The village of Solvay is steeped in Trentino history, Albrigo said, and is widely known as one of the oldest village of Trentino heritage in the country.
Albrigo said the Solvay Tyrol Club applied in 2006 to host this year's convention, and have been hard at work for the last two years to prepare for the event.
We wanted to accent the village of Solvay, the closeness of the community, Albrigo said.
The weekend convention kicks off Friday, July 11 with a polenta fest, offering several different styles of polenta. Friday night from 6 to 10 p.m. the Mario DeSantis Orchestra will play at the pavilion on Milton Avenue, with dancing under the stars and a craft sale. Fireworks will light up the sky around 9:30 p.m.
Albrigo said parking would be difficult Friday, and urged people to be patient and bring their own lawn chairs.
Saturday's festivities include a full day of workshops and discussion at the Holiday Inn at Electronics Parkway, followed by a cocktail reception and gala dinner. On Sunday a continental breakfast will be held at 8 a.m. Woods Road Park, weather permitting, before mass at St. Cecilia's Church at 11:30 a.m. Following the service there will be a picnic lunch at the park.
Although all events are open to non-Tyrol club members, pre-registration and ticket purchase is required for all events except dancing under the stars.
To register, visit solvaytyrolclub.org and click on the convention registration link. A full agenda of events is available through the online registration link.

Family holidays are always interesting. And by interesting, I obviously mean that they usually consist of awkward events that leave you hoping the next family vacation isn't until 2017.
This year, mine was no exception. On my family vacation I learnt about substitute lubricants... from my mother. Interesting, huh? Or you could just describe it as weird. Here's how our conversation went:
Mum (frying my morning eggs in coconut oil): "Gosh, I just really love coconut oil. Don't you, Tara?"
Tara: "Totally, I reall..."
Mum: "It's great for everything. I cook with it and use it as a conditioner and a moisturiser. It also makes a wonderful lubricant, darling, you know, for sexual intercourse."
Tara (squirts coffee out of nose): "MUM! Did you just say the word 'lubricant' to me?! It's 7:45 am!"
Mum: "Well, it is. It's so greasy. The trick is to feel like dessert not the main meal, that's why coconut oil is the best."
As I sat down to let my eggs, and mum's revelation, digest, I couldn't help but wonder if my mum was right. I've always hated how some of the conventional lubricants dried out quickly or felt gluey, and a natural alternative sounded like a great idea.
So, off I went on a coconut crusade. And with a little investigation, research and, of course, some vigorous testing, I can now confirm that my mother is right. Natural coconut oil makes a great lubricant. Seriously!
And here are seven legit reasons why:
1. It doesn't contain any nasty chemicals
2. It has natural antibacterial and antiviral properties and can actually help with yeast infections
3. It won't interfere with your natural flora downstairs
4. It doesn't get sticky
5. It's very moisturising
6. It will make, er, downstairs smell like a tropical island
7. It's totally cost effective. A nice big jar will set you back around $9.
BUT WAIT! Before you race out to your nearest supermarket to pick up a tub, beware that you cannot use coconut oil when you're also using latex condoms - it messes with the rubber. My top tip? It's perfect for sexy massages and personal playtime.
Are you game to try it?

Bang the drums. Blast the horns. Grandstand Stripe is here!
-- gDiapers limited edition gPants --
Jun 05, 2013, 11:03 ET from gDiapers
PORTLAND, Ore., June 5, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Whether at a hometown parade or a backyard BBQ, playing in the sandbox or nestled in to nurse, it's all about the pursuit of happiness. We never stop chasing the dream of a better world, of a safe place to play and to dream and to grow. The new Grandstand Stripe gPants from gDiapers are designed with red, white and blue stripes and that simple statement "the pursuit of happiness" embroidered across the bum.
(Photo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20130605/SF25183)
The Grandstand Stripe gPants will be available on gDiapers.com and other select retailers on June 5, 2013 for $21.99.
Kim and Jason Graham-Nye founded gDiapers in 2005. They had a baby on the way and a diaper decision to make. They found out some staggering, and literally earth-shattering news about conventional disposable diapers:
- 20 billion diapers get thrown in the landfill every year in the US. They are the third largest contributor to landfills.
- It takes up to 500 years for disposable diapers to biodegrade.
- 90% of Americans use disposable diapers.
Today, gDiapers offers a colorful line of adorable diaper covers with 100% biodegradable* disposable inserts. gDiapers are as gentle on the earth as it is on babies.
*gDiapers disposable inserts are biodegradable in home composts per ASTM standards by a third party independent lab (wet ones only). Nothing truly biodegrades in a landfill. So gDiapers gives you options for disposal. Flush, compost or toss. The choice is yours.

Black sesame seeds are one of the best everyday foods we can add to our diets as we age, according to traditional Chinese medicine.
As we get older, our "yin jing"—our very essence—can get depleted by prolonged or extreme stress, overwork, illness, childbirth, or even by aging itself. A depleted yin jing is associated with premature aging.
Although there are certain herbs that can be used to strengthen yin jing, black sesame seeds are considered a yin jing tonic and are thought to promote longevity and even slow the development of gray hair.
From a nutritional perspective, black sesame seeds are a very good source of copper and manganese and are also a good source of magnesium, calcium, iron, and other minerals and dietary fiber.
In Asian cuisine, black sesame seeds are normally roasted and then added to cooking. Black sesame seed soup is popular as a dessert and among people who are trying to boost their health. The soup is made of ground rice, ground black sesame seeds, water, and sugar and is available in some Chinese restaurants and in dry powdered form in Asian grocery stores.
Last weekend, I was in a Korean grocery store and came across black bean and black sesame seed powder. Black beans are another tonic food.
I bought a jar, but was also inspired me to make my own recipe, so that I could pre-soak the black sesame seeds before roasting and grinding them. Black sesame seeds are particularly high in phytic acid, which binds with minerals in our intestines, impairing their absorption, and inhibits certain enzymes needed for digestion. Soaking and roasting them can greatly decrease the phytic acid content.
I made some other changes. Instead of white sugar and white rice, I used coconut sugar and brown rice and added chia seeds to give the soup a tapioca pudding-like quality.
I question whether regular consumption will do anything to keep my hair black over the years, but I do love the taste. Growing up, I always loved the sweet dessert soups that were served at the end of Chinese dinners (red bean soup was another favorite) and they certainly hit the spot in the winter.

Cypress' clock chip provides field programmability
Post a comment
To reduce development time and cost for PCs and peripherals, Cypress Semiconductor Corp. has added field programmability to its family of spread-spectrum clock generators.
A new device, unveiled last week, offers the same systemic electromagnetic interference (EMI)-reducing benefits as Cypress' existing CyberClock spread-spectrum clock chips, but gives customers the ability to configure samples on the fly, said Cavit Ozdalga, marketing manager for the company's Timing Technology Division in San Jose.
"EMI is verified at the end of a project, not the beginning, and the customer usually has only a few days to go into production," Ozdalga said. "We can give them blank parts, and they can program them in minutes while testing products in the EMI chamber."
Cypress is offering a $200 programming kit, which can be used with any desktop or notebook PC that has a power connection and a parallel port. The kit includes a GUI-driven tool by which users select clock frequency and modulation values, then download the data into the clock chip, a process that takes about five minutes, according to Ozdalga.
Use of the tool requires one-time registration on Cypress' Website, which allows the company to assign the customized configuration a part number and store the design file so that, when production parts are needed, the customer can order them online.
The CY25100 supports input frequencies from a crystal or other reference from 8 to 166MHz, and output frequencies from 3 to 200MHz. To reduce EMI, frequency modulation can be programmed over a down spread range of 0.5% to 5%, and a center spread range of 0.25 to 2.5. Up to 20dB EMI reduction can be achieved using a worst-case harmonic, the company said.
While EMI reduction is the main target of the spread-spectrum clock generator, the cost savings from being able to use less expensive components around it can also be significant, Ozdalga said. For example, reducing EMI can allow a low-end inkjet printer to replace a four- or six-layer PCB with a two-layer board, on which longer trace lengths would ordinarily produce higher EMI emissions.
"Twenty percent of the applications we're in are not just because a customer has an EMI problem, but to reduce the number of PCB layers, which is a considerable cost advantage," he said. "Another big saving comes from the wide frequency output. Instead of using a 100- MHz crystal oscillator to generate high frequencies, you can use a single inexpensive crystal--whatever you already have on the shelf--while getting also the benefit of EMI reduction."
The CY25100 is available in 8-pin TSSOPs and SOICs, priced from $1.55 to $1.75 in 1,000s.

Chicago: The testimony of David Coleman Headley, or Daood Gilani as he was known in Pakistan, is revealing more and more details that link Pakistan's Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI) to the 26/11 Mumbai terror attacks in which 166 people were killed.
Headley, a Pakistani-American, is the key witness in the trial of Tahawwur Hussain Rana, a Chicago businessman accused of helping coordinate the 2008 Mumbai attacks. He has already pleaded guilty to laying the groundwork for the Mumbai attacks and has agreed to testify against Rana to avoid the death penalty.
Earlier during the trial, Headley identified his ISI handler, the shadowy Major Iqbal, as Chaudhery Khan, the man with whom the Pakistani-American had several email exchanges. Headley wrote to him at the email id email@example.com. On being questioned about those mail exchanges, Headley told the court that Chaudhery Khan was Major Iqbal, the man Headley had identified yesterday as one of his ISI handlers. Major Iqbal is named as a co-defendant in the indictment. (Read - ISI helped LeT carry out 26/11 Mumbai attacks: David Headley)
Pakistan has so far maintained they cannot pinpoint any ISI officer known as 'Major Iqbal'.
The more than 20 emails exchanged between Headley and the man he says is Major Iqbal have been submitted as exhibits to the court by the prosecution in the Rana trial. In one of these emails, they discussed how to use Rajaram Rege, who Headley called a PR agent of the Shiv Sena supremo Bal Thackeray. Headley has also revealed a plot to kill Bal Thackeray. (Read: Headley in plot to kill Sena chief Thackeray?)
In an email on May 20 Major Iqbal writes to Headley on Rajaraman Rege asking, "What all advantages we can get from this person, except strengthening our cover?" In another email, a day earlier, Major Iqbal wrote, "What is the progress on the projects? Update me on cameras. I have got the orders of your car from the office."
These emails not only confirm that Major Iqbal used an id that went by the name of Chaudhery Khan, but that he was guiding Headley every step of the way during his recce in Mumbai.

Dude! I'm going to guess this was done by one of Stephan Harding's students–it just popped up on our radar screen through a Google alert. Anyhow, this has got to be the first TV "commercial" for one of Chelsea Green's books, and it couldn't have happened to a nicer book.
One thing I'd like to point out is that the video shows Harding using a very old computer, one of the very early Macintosh models. Kudos to Harding for keeping an old workhorse going. Huge amounts of energy go into manufacturing computers, so learning how to keep an old computer working and usable is a very good thing. Laptops are more efficient than desktops and even in standby mode computers can draw a surprising amount of power (though, of course!, it is still better to leave your computer in standby than to leave it fully on, when it is not in active use).

2.25 Uttoxeter
Favourite Midtech Valentine bolted up last week but the time was modest and it could be that he was just found an awful race.
2.40 Kempton
Sirabad goes back over fences after a modest hurdles effort at Ascot and could be dangerous along with Purple 'N Gold who underwent a recent pipe opener on the flat.
3.00 Uttoxeter
Smooth Stepper is another to consider given he faced an impossible task at Newcastle when beaten by Seeyouatmidnight.
3.15 Kempton
TOWNSHEND, who sports the headgear for the first time, is clearly very much of interest as well given his Fairyhouse form has worked out well. He is worth a saver granted the form of his yard this week.
3.35 Uttoxeter
The Philip Hobbs-duo Rolling Dylan and BRAAVOS catch the eye too, while Champagne At Tara is a threat after a decent run behind Agrapart at Newbury in the Betfair Hurdle.
Braavos looks extremely well handicapped on a mark of 120 even if he was raised 7lb for a workmanlike Exeter win last time. He was previously swept aside by Agrapart at Aintree but subsequent events tell us he faced a hopeless last that day.
3.50 Kempton
4.10 Uttoxeter
It may be significant Standing Ovation missed a date with the Cheltenham festival in reference for a tilt at this race as he ran at the last two renewals and the yard's runners have acquitted themselves brilliantly in handicap chases this week.
A five-month absence from the track could also be by design as the nine-year-old will have missed all of the deep winter ground and, as a son of Presenting, the prospect of a sounder surface should be welcome. Fitness is rarely an issue with a Pipe runner and, although the extended four-mile trip is a step into the unknown, it is a chance worth taking given the morning price about his chance.
The likeable Milansbar has looked a candidate for a race of this nature for some time and is very much respected, but SIZING COAL represents a yard which won this event with Goonyella and he enjoyed a spin over hurdles to preserve his chase rating last time so could be worth a saver.

Teddy Bridgewater releases statement: 'My purpose will not be denied'
MINNEAPOLIS (KMSP) - Minnesota Vikings quarterback Teddy Bridgewater released the following statement Thursday:
"I want to thank the Wilf Family and the entire Vikings organization, all of my teammates, friends, Eric Sugarman and the amazing Vikings athletic training staff and the fans who have sent me messages and wished me well. Your thoughts and prayers mean a lot to me and have helped me in this difficult time. There are great players and great leaders in our locker room who are going to fight to the end to reach the goals we set for 2016. I will be there mentally, physically and in spirit to support them accomplish those goals.
"In order to have a testimony, you have to have a test. I come from amazing DNA, I watched my mom fight and win against breast cancer. We will, as a team, attack my rehab with the same vigor and energy. My faith is strong, my faith is unwavering and my vision is clear. My purpose will not be denied."
The injury
The Vikings placed Bridgewater on season-ending injured reserve Wednesday, one day after the quarterback left practice in an ambulance with a dislocated knee and torn ACL. An MRI confirmed Bridgewater suffered a complete tear to his ACL and other structural damage to his knee, the scan also showed no nerve or arterial damage.
Nerve or blood vessel damage could have made the prognosis much worse. Bridgewater is looking at least 6 to 12 months of recovery.
"The bad [news] is that he's got a lot of recovery to get back at the high level that he was functioning at, the good is that because he was already functioning at a very high level his ability to recover that function tends to be better than the average person," Dr. Marc Tompkins, an orthopedic surgeon at TRIA Orthopedic Center.
Statement from Vikings trainer Eric Sugarman
"Teddy Bridgewater suffered a non-contact injury today at practice. The injury was quickly identified as a dislocated knee. The injury was stabilized, and he was transported to a nearby hospital for treatment and evaluation. After undergoing an MRI, it was determined that Teddy suffered a complete tear to his ACL and other structural damage. Fortunately, there appears to be no nerve or arterial damage. Surgical repair will be scheduled within the next few days. Although the recovery time will be significant, we expect Teddy to make a full recovery. I would like to thank all of the medical professionals and our athletic training staff for all of their help today. Teddy has already displayed the attitude needed to overcome this injury and attack his rehab."
